Dynamically load a function from a DLL

In addition to the already posted answer, I thought I should share a handy trick I use to load all the DLL functions into the program through function pointers, without writing a separate GetProcAddress call for each and every function. I also like to call the functions directly as attempted in the OP.

Start by defining a generic function pointer type:

typedef int (__stdcall* func_ptr_t)();

What types that are used aren't really important. Now create an array of that type, which corresponds to the amount of functions you have in the DLL:

func_ptr_t func_ptr [DLL_FUNCTIONS_N];

In this array we can store the actual function pointers that point into the DLL memory space.

Next problem is that GetProcAddress expects the function names as strings. So create a similar array consisting of the function names in the DLL:

const char* DLL_FUNCTION_NAMES [DLL_FUNCTIONS_N] = 
{
  "dll_add",
  "dll_subtract",
  "dll_do_stuff",
  ...
};

Now we can easily call GetProcAddress() in a loop and store each function inside that array:

for(int i=0; i<DLL_FUNCTIONS_N; i++)
{
  func_ptr[i] = GetProcAddress(hinst_mydll, DLL_FUNCTION_NAMES[i]);

  if(func_ptr[i] == NULL)
  {
    // error handling, most likely you have to terminate the program here
  }
}

If the loop was successful, the only problem we have now is calling the functions. The function pointer typedef from earlier isn't helpful, because each function will have its own signature. This can be solved by creating a struct with all the function types:

typedef struct
{
  int  (__stdcall* dll_add_ptr)(int, int);
  int  (__stdcall* dll_subtract_ptr)(int, int);
  void (__stdcall* dll_do_stuff_ptr)(something);
  ...
} functions_struct;

And finally, to connect these to the array from before, create a union:

typedef union
{
  functions_struct  by_type;
  func_ptr_t        func_ptr [DLL_FUNCTIONS_N];
} functions_union;

Now you can load all the functions from the DLL with the convenient loop, but call them through the by_type union member.

But of course, it is a bit burdensome to type out something like

functions.by_type.dll_add_ptr(1, 1); whenever you want to call a function.

As it turns out, this is the reason why I added the "ptr" postfix to the names: I wanted to keep them different from the actual function names. We can now smooth out the icky struct syntax and get the desired names, by using some macros:

#define dll_add (functions.by_type.dll_add_ptr)
#define dll_subtract (functions.by_type.dll_subtract_ptr)
#define dll_do_stuff (functions.by_type.dll_do_stuff_ptr)

And voilà, you can now use the function names, with the correct type and parameters, as if they were statically linked to your project:

int result = dll_add(1, 1);

Disclaimer: Strictly speaking, conversions between different function pointers are not defined by the C standard and not safe. So formally, what I'm doing here is undefined behavior. However, in the Windows world, function pointers are always of the same size no matter their type and the conversions between them are predictable on any version of Windows I've used.

Also, there might in theory be padding inserted in the union/struct, which would cause everything to fail. However, pointers happen to be of the same size as the alignment requirement in Windows. A static_assert to ensure that the struct/union has no padding might be in order still.

Trying to SSH into an Amazon Ec2 instance - permission error

ssh -i /.pem user@host-machine-IP

I think it's because either you have entered wrong credentials or, you are using a public key rather than private key or, your port permissions are open for ALL to ssh. This is bad for Amazon.

Can't get private key with openssl (no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY)

My two cents: came across the same error message in RHEL7.3 while running the openssl command with root CA certificate. The reason being, while downloading the certificate from AD server, Encoding was selected as DER instead of Base64. Once the proper version of encoding was selected for the new certificate download, error was resolved

Hope this helps for new users :-)

CSS Div stretch 100% page height

Use position absolute. Note that this isn't how we are generally used to using position absolute which requires manually laying things out or having floating dialogs. This will automatically stretch when you resize the window or the content. I believe that this requires standards mode but will work in IE6 and above.

Just replace the div with id 'thecontent' with your content (the specified height there is just for illustration, you don't have to specify a height on the actual content.

<div style="position: relative; width: 100%;">
      <div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 33%; bottom: 0px; top: 0px; background-color: blue; width: 33%;" id="navbar">nav bar</div>
      <div style="position: relative; left: 33%; width: 66%; background-color: yellow;" id="content">
         <div style="height: 10000px;" id="thecontent"></div>
      </div>
</div>

The way that this works is that the outer div acts as a reference point for the nav bar. The outer div is stretched out by the content of the 'content' div. The nav bar uses absolute positioning to stretch itself out to the height of its parent. For the horizontal alignment we make the content div offset itself by the same width of the navbar.

This is made much easier with CSS3 flex box model, but that's not available in IE yet and has some of it's own quirks.

'True' and 'False' in Python

From 6.11. Boolean operations:

In the context of Boolean operations, and also when expressions are used by control flow statements, the following values are interpreted as false: False, None, numeric zero of all types, and empty strings and containers (including strings, tuples, lists, dictionaries, sets and frozensets). All other values are interpreted as true.

The key phrasing here that I think you are misunderstanding is "interpreted as false" or "interpreted as true". This does not mean that any of those values are identical to True or False, or even equal to True or False.

The expression '/bla/bla/bla' will be treated as true where a Boolean expression is expected (like in an if statement), but the expressions '/bla/bla/bla' is True and '/bla/bla/bla' == True will evaluate to False for the reasons in Ignacio's answer.

List<Map<String, String>> vs List<? extends Map<String, String>>

You cannot assign expressions with types such as List<NavigableMap<String,String>> to the first.

(If you want to know why you can't assign List<String> to List<Object> see a zillion other questions on SO.)

I'd like to note that it's usually preferable to change the class of the node instead of it's style and let CSS handle what that means.

Reading integers from binary file in Python

Except struct you can also use array module

import array
values = array.array('l') # array of long integers
values.read(fin, 1) # read 1 integer
file_size  = values[0]

Wait Until File Is Completely Written

From the documentation for FileSystemWatcher:

The OnCreated event is raised as soon as a file is created. If a file is being copied or transferred into a watched directory, the OnCreated event will be raised immediately, followed by one or more OnChanged events.

So, if the copy fails, (catch the exception), add it to a list of files that still need to be moved, and attempt the copy during the OnChanged event. Eventually, it should work.

Something like (incomplete; catch specific exceptions, initialize variables, etc):

public static void listener_Created(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine
            (
                "File Created:\n"
               + "ChangeType: " + e.ChangeType
               + "\nName: " + e.Name
               + "\nFullPath: " + e.FullPath
            );
    try {
        File.Copy(e.FullPath, @"D:\levani\FolderListenerTest\CopiedFilesFolder\" + e.Name);
    }
    catch {
        _waitingForClose.Add(e.FullPath);
    }
    Console.Read();
}

public static void listener_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
     if (_waitingForClose.Contains(e.FullPath))
     {
          try {
              File.Copy(...);
              _waitingForClose.Remove(e.FullPath);
          }
          catch {}
     }

}

How to split string using delimiter char using T-SQL?

You need a split function:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
Create Function [dbo].[udf_Split]
(   
    @DelimitedList nvarchar(max)
    , @Delimiter nvarchar(2) = ','
)
RETURNS TABLE 
AS
RETURN 
    (
    With CorrectedList As
        (
        Select Case When Left(@DelimitedList, Len(@Delimiter)) <> @Delimiter Then @Delimiter Else '' End
            + @DelimitedList
            + Case When Right(@DelimitedList, Len(@Delimiter)) <> @Delimiter Then @Delimiter Else '' End
            As List
            , Len(@Delimiter) As DelimiterLen
        )
        , Numbers As 
        (
        Select TOP( Coalesce(DataLength(@DelimitedList)/2,0) ) Row_Number() Over ( Order By c1.object_id ) As Value
        From sys.columns As c1
            Cross Join sys.columns As c2
        )
    Select CharIndex(@Delimiter, CL.list, N.Value) + CL.DelimiterLen As Position
        , Substring (
                    CL.List
                    , CharIndex(@Delimiter, CL.list, N.Value) + CL.DelimiterLen     
                    , CharIndex(@Delimiter, CL.list, N.Value + 1)                           
                        - ( CharIndex(@Delimiter, CL.list, N.Value) + CL.DelimiterLen ) 
                    ) As Value
    From CorrectedList As CL
        Cross Join Numbers As N
    Where N.Value <= DataLength(CL.List) / 2
        And Substring(CL.List, N.Value, CL.DelimiterLen) = @Delimiter
    )

With your split function, you would then use Cross Apply to get the data:

Select T.Col1, T.Col2
    , Substring( Z.Value, 1, Charindex(' = ', Z.Value) - 1 ) As AttributeName
    , Substring( Z.Value, Charindex(' = ', Z.Value) + 1, Len(Z.Value) ) As Value
From Table01 As T
    Cross Apply dbo.udf_Split( T.Col3, '|' ) As Z

Why binary_crossentropy and categorical_crossentropy give different performances for the same problem?

It all depends on the type of classification problem you are dealing with. There are three main categories

  • binary classification (two target classes),
  • multi-class classification (more than two exclusive targets),
  • multi-label classification (more than two non exclusive targets), in which multiple target classes can be on at the same time.

In the first case, binary cross-entropy should be used and targets should be encoded as one-hot vectors.

In the second case, categorical cross-entropy should be used and targets should be encoded as one-hot vectors.

In the last case, binary cross-entropy should be used and targets should be encoded as one-hot vectors. Each output neuron (or unit) is considered as a separate random binary variable, and the loss for the entire vector of outputs is the product of the loss of single binary variables. Therefore it is the product of binary cross-entropy for each single output unit.

The binary cross-entropy is defined as

and categorical cross-entropy is defined as

REST API - file (ie images) processing - best practices

OP here (I am answering this question after two years, the post made by Daniel Cerecedo was not bad at a time, but the web services are developing very fast)

After three years of full-time software development (with focus also on software architecture, project management and microservice architecture) I definitely choose the second way (but with one general endpoint) as the best one.

If you have a special endpoint for images, it gives you much more power over handling those images.

We have the same REST API (Node.js) for both - mobile apps (iOS/android) and frontend (using React). This is 2017, therefore you don't want to store images locally, you want to upload them to some cloud storage (Google cloud, s3, cloudinary, ...), therefore you want some general handling over them.

Our typical flow is, that as soon as you select an image, it starts uploading on background (usually POST on /images endpoint), returning you the ID after uploading. This is really user-friendly, because user choose an image and then typically proceed with some other fields (i.e. address, name, ...), therefore when he hits "send" button, the image is usually already uploaded. He does not wait and watching the screen saying "uploading...".

The same goes for getting images. Especially thanks to mobile phones and limited mobile data, you don't want to send original images, you want to send resized images, so they do not take that much bandwidth (and to make your mobile apps faster, you often don't want to resize it at all, you want the image that fits perfectly into your view). For this reason, good apps are using something like cloudinary (or we do have our own image server for resizing).

Also, if the data are not private, then you send back to app/frontend just URL and it downloads it from cloud storage directly, which is huge saving of bandwidth and processing time for your server. In our bigger apps there are a lot of terabytes downloaded every month, you don't want to handle that directly on each of your REST API server, which is focused on CRUD operation. You want to handle that at one place (our Imageserver, which have caching etc.) or let cloud services handle all of it.


Cons : The only "cons" which you should think of is "not assigned images". User select images and continue with filling other fields, but then he says "nah" and turn off the app or tab, but meanwhile you successfully uploaded the image. This means you have uploaded an image which is not assigned anywhere.

There are several ways of handling this. The most easiest one is "I don't care", which is a relevant one, if this is not happening very often or you even have desire to store every image user send you (for any reason) and you don't want any deletion.

Another one is easy too - you have CRON and i.e. every week and you delete all unassigned images older than one week.

CSS - How to Style a Selected Radio Buttons Label?

You are using an adjacent sibling selector (+) when the elements are not siblings. The label is the parent of the input, not it's sibling.

CSS has no way to select an element based on it's descendents (nor anything that follows it).

You'll need to look to JavaScript to solve this.

Alternatively, rearrange your markup:

<input id="foo"><label for="foo">…</label>

Traverse a list in reverse order in Python

Also, you could use either "range" or "count" functions. As follows:

a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
for i in range(len(a)-1, -1, -1):
    print(i, a[i])

3 baz
2 bar
1 foo

You could also use "count" from itertools as following:

a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
from itertools import count, takewhile

def larger_than_0(x):
    return x > 0

for x in takewhile(larger_than_0, count(3, -1)):
    print(x, a[x-1])

3 baz
2 bar
1 foo

                             From cs In mySession.Query(Of CCiudadSucursal)()
                             Where cs.id_ciudad Is c
                             Where cs.id_sucursal Is s
                             Where c.id = IdCiudad
                             Where s.accion <> "E" AndAlso s.accion <> Nothing
                             Where cs.accion <> "E" AndAlso cs.accion <> Nothing
                             Select c.descripcion).Single() Is Nothing
                      Where s.accion <> "E" AndAlso s.accion <> Nothing
                      Select s.id, s.Descripcion

What are good examples of genetic algorithms/genetic programming solutions?

in undergrad, we used NERO (a combination of neural network and genetic algorithm) to teach in-game robots to make intelligent decisions. It was pretty cool.

is not JSON serializable

class CountryListView(ListView):
     model = Country

    def render_to_response(self, context, **response_kwargs):

         return HttpResponse(json.dumps(list(self.get_queryset().values_list('code', flat=True))),mimetype="application/json") 

fixed the problem

also mimetype is important.

Set value to an entire column of a pandas dataframe

Seems to me that:

df1 = df[df['col1']==some_value] WILL NOT create a new DataFrame, basically, changes in df1 will be reflected in the parent df. This leads to the warning. Whereas, df1 = df[df['col1]]==some_value].copy() WILL create a new DataFrame, and changes in df1 will not be reflected in df. the copy() method is recommended if you don't want to make changes to your original df.

Scikit-learn train_test_split with indices

Scikit learn plays really well with Pandas, so I suggest you use it. Here's an example:

In [1]: 
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
data = np.reshape(np.random.randn(20),(10,2)) # 10 training examples
labels = np.random.randint(2, size=10) # 10 labels

In [2]: # Giving columns in X a name
X = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['Column_1', 'Column_2'])
y = pd.Series(labels)

In [3]:
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, 
                                                    test_size=0.2, 
                                                    random_state=0)

In [4]: X_test
Out[4]:

     Column_1    Column_2
2   -1.39       -1.86
8    0.48       -0.81
4   -0.10       -1.83

In [5]: y_test
Out[5]:

2    1
8    1
4    1
dtype: int32

You can directly call any scikit functions on DataFrame/Series and it will work.

Let's say you wanted to do a LogisticRegression, here's how you could retrieve the coefficients in a nice way:

In [6]: 
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

model = LogisticRegression()
model = model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Retrieve coefficients: index is the feature name (['Column_1', 'Column_2'] here)
df_coefs = pd.DataFrame(model.coef_[0], index=X.columns, columns = ['Coefficient'])
df_coefs
Out[6]:
            Coefficient
Column_1    0.076987
Column_2    -0.352463

How to check if a file exists before creating a new file

Looked around a bit, and the only thing I find is using the open system call. It is the only function I found that allows you to create a file in a way that will fail if it already exists

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>

int fd=open(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);
if (fd < 0) {
  /* file exists or otherwise uncreatable
     you might want to check errno*/
}else {
  /* File is open to writing */
}

Note that you have to give permissions since you are creating a file.

This also removes any race conditions there might be

Postgresql column reference "id" is ambiguous

I suppose your p2vg table has also an id field , in that case , postgres cannot find if the id in the SELECT refers to vg or p2vg.

you should use SELECT(vg.id,vg.name) to remove ambiguity

Need a row count after SELECT statement: what's the optimal SQL approach?

If you're concerned the number of rows that meet the condition may change in the few milliseconds since execution of the query and retrieval of results, you could/should execute the queries inside a transaction:

BEGIN TRAN bogus

SELECT COUNT( my_table.my_col ) AS row_count
FROM my_table
WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'

SELECT my_table.my_col
FROM my_table
WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'
ROLLBACK TRAN bogus

This would return the correct values, always.

Furthermore, if you're using SQL Server, you can use @@ROWCOUNT to get the number of rows affected by last statement, and redirect the output of real query to a temp table or table variable, so you can return everything altogether, and no need of a transaction:

DECLARE @dummy INT

SELECT my_table.my_col
INTO #temp_table
FROM my_table
WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'

SET @dummy=@@ROWCOUNT
SELECT @dummy, * FROM #temp_table

What is the purpose of meshgrid in Python / NumPy?

Basic Idea

Given possible x values, xs, (think of them as the tick-marks on the x-axis of a plot) and possible y values, ys, meshgrid generates the corresponding set of (x, y) grid points---analogous to set((x, y) for x in xs for y in yx). For example, if xs=[1,2,3] and ys=[4,5,6], we'd get the set of coordinates {(1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (1,5), (2,5), (3,5), (1,6), (2,6), (3,6)}.

Form of the Return Value

However, the representation that meshgrid returns is different from the above expression in two ways:

First, meshgrid lays out the grid points in a 2d array: rows correspond to different y-values, columns correspond to different x-values---as in list(list((x, y) for x in xs) for y in ys), which would give the following array:

   [[(1,4), (2,4), (3,4)],
    [(1,5), (2,5), (3,5)],
    [(1,6), (2,6), (3,6)]]

Second, meshgrid returns the x and y coordinates separately (i.e. in two different numpy 2d arrays):

   xcoords, ycoords = (
       array([[1, 2, 3],
              [1, 2, 3],
              [1, 2, 3]]),
       array([[4, 4, 4],
              [5, 5, 5],
              [6, 6, 6]]))
   # same thing using np.meshgrid:
   xcoords, ycoords = np.meshgrid([1,2,3], [4,5,6])
   # same thing without meshgrid:
   xcoords = np.array([xs] * len(ys)
   ycoords = np.array([ys] * len(xs)).T

Note, np.meshgrid can also generate grids for higher dimensions. Given xs, ys, and zs, you'd get back xcoords, ycoords, zcoords as 3d arrays. meshgrid also supports reverse ordering of the dimensions as well as sparse representation of the result.

Applications

Why would we want this form of output?

Apply a function at every point on a grid: One motivation is that binary operators like (+, -, *, /, **) are overloaded for numpy arrays as elementwise operations. This means that if I have a function def f(x, y): return (x - y) ** 2 that works on two scalars, I can also apply it on two numpy arrays to get an array of elementwise results: e.g. f(xcoords, ycoords) or f(*np.meshgrid(xs, ys)) gives the following on the above example:

array([[ 9,  4,  1],
       [16,  9,  4],
       [25, 16,  9]])

Higher dimensional outer product: I'm not sure how efficient this is, but you can get high-dimensional outer products this way: np.prod(np.meshgrid([1,2,3], [1,2], [1,2,3,4]), axis=0).

Contour plots in matplotlib: I came across meshgrid when investigating drawing contour plots with matplotlib for plotting decision boundaries. For this, you generate a grid with meshgrid, evaluate the function at each grid point (e.g. as shown above), and then pass the xcoords, ycoords, and computed f-values (i.e. zcoords) into the contourf function.

Difference between JOIN and INNER JOIN

INNER JOIN = JOIN

INNER JOIN is the default if you don't specify the type when you use the word JOIN.

You can also use LEFT OUTER JOIN or RIGHT OUTER JOIN, in which case the word OUTER is optional, or you can specify CROSS JOIN.

OR

For an inner join, the syntax is:

SELECT ...
FROM TableA
[INNER] JOIN TableB

(in other words, the "INNER" keyword is optional - results are the same with or without it)

ASP.NET MVC Dropdown List From SelectList

Just try this in razor

@{
    var selectList = new SelectList(
        new List<SelectListItem>
        {
            new SelectListItem {Text = "Google", Value = "Google"},
            new SelectListItem {Text = "Other", Value = "Other"},
        }, "Value", "Text");
}

and then

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.YourFieldName, selectList, "Default label", new { @class = "css-class" })

or

@Html.DropDownList("ddlDropDownList", selectList, "Default label", new { @class = "css-class" })

Regex select all text between tags

In Python, setting the DOTALL flag will capture everything, including newlines.

If the DOTALL flag has been specified, this matches any character including a newline. docs.python.org

#example.py using Python 3.7.4  
import re

str="""Everything is awesome! <pre>Hello,
World!
    </pre>
"""

# Normally (.*) will not capture newlines, but here re.DOTATLL is set 
pattern = re.compile(r"<pre>(.*)</pre>",re.DOTALL)
matches = pattern.search(str)

print(matches.group(1))

python example.py

Hello,
World!

Capturing text between all opening and closing tags in a document

To capture text between all opening and closing tags in a document, finditer is useful. In the example below, three opening and closing <pre> tags are present in the string.

#example2.py using Python 3.7.4
import re

# str contains three <pre>...</pre> tags
str = """In two different ex-
periments, the authors had subjects chat and solve the <pre>Desert Survival Problem</pre> with a
humorous or non-humorous computer. In both experiments the computer made pre-
programmed comments, but in study 1 subjects were led to believe they were interact-
ing with another person. In the <pre>humor conditions</pre> subjects received a number of funny
comments, for instance: “The mirror is probably too small to be used as a signaling
device to alert rescue teams to your location. Rank it lower. (On the other hand, it
offers <pre>endless opportunity for self-reflection</pre>)”."""

# Normally (.*) will not capture newlines, but here re.DOTATLL is set
# The question mark in (.*?) indicates non greedy matching.
pattern = re.compile(r"<pre>(.*?)</pre>",re.DOTALL)

matches = pattern.finditer(str)


for i,match in enumerate(matches):
    print(f"tag {i}: ",match.group(1))

python example2.py

tag 0:  Desert Survival Problem
tag 1:  humor conditions
tag 2:  endless opportunity for self-reflection

How do I change the ID of a HTML element with JavaScript?

That seems to work for me:

<html>
<head><style>
#monkey {color:blue}
#ape {color:purple}
</style></head>
<body>
<span id="monkey" onclick="changeid()">
fruit
</span>
<script>
function changeid ()
{
var e = document.getElementById("monkey");
e.id = "ape";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

The expected behaviour is to change the colour of the word "fruit".

Perhaps your document was not fully loaded when you called the routine?

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

Windows Forms

For a Windows Forms version (no console window and we don't get around to actually creating any forms - though you can if you want).

Compile line in a command prompt.

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\vbc.exe" /t:winexe "%userprofile%\desktop\VBS2Exe.vb"

Using these optional parameters gives you an icon and manifest. A manifest allows you to specify run as normal, run elevated if admin, only run elevated.

/win32icon: Specifies a Win32 icon file (.ico) for the default Win32 resources.

/win32manifest: The provided file is embedded in the manifest section of the output PE.

In theory, I have UAC off so can't test, but put this text file on the desktop and call it vbs2exe.manifest, save as UTF-8.

The command line

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\vbc.exe" /t:winexe /win32manifest:"%userprofile%\desktop\VBS2Exe.manifest" "%userprofile%\desktop\VBS2Exe.vb"

The manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> 
  <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" 
  manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"

Default optional parameter in Swift function

Optionals and default parameters are two different things.

An Optional is a variable that can be nil, that's it.

Default parameters use a default value when you omit that parameter, this default value is specified like this: func test(param: Int = 0)

If you specify a parameter that is an optional, you have to provide it, even if the value you want to pass is nil. If your function looks like this func test(param: Int?), you can't call it like this test(). Even though the parameter is optional, it doesn't have a default value.

You can also combine the two and have a parameter that takes an optional where nil is the default value, like this: func test(param: Int? = nil).

How do I expand the output display to see more columns of a pandas DataFrame?

You can use print df.describe().to_string() to force it to show the whole table. (You can use to_string() like this for any DataFrame. The result of describe is just a DataFrame itself.)

The 8 is the number of rows in the DataFrame holding the "description" (because describe computes 8 statistics, min, max, mean, etc.).

pandas how to check dtype for all columns in a dataframe?

The singular form dtype is used to check the data type for a single column. And the plural form dtypes is for data frame which returns data types for all columns. Essentially:

For a single column:

dataframe.column.dtype

For all columns:

dataframe.dtypes

Example:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1,2,3], 'B': [True, False, False], 'C': ['a', 'b', 'c']})

df.A.dtype
# dtype('int64')
df.B.dtype
# dtype('bool')
df.C.dtype
# dtype('O')

df.dtypes
#A     int64
#B      bool
#C    object
#dtype: object

What is an alternative to execfile in Python 3?

While exec(open("filename").read()) is often given as an alternative to execfile("filename"), it misses important details that execfile supported.

The following function for Python3.x is as close as I could get to having the same behavior as executing a file directly. That matches running python /path/to/somefile.py.

def execfile(filepath, globals=None, locals=None):
    if globals is None:
        globals = {}
    globals.update({
        "__file__": filepath,
        "__name__": "__main__",
    })
    with open(filepath, 'rb') as file:
        exec(compile(file.read(), filepath, 'exec'), globals, locals)

# execute the file
execfile("/path/to/somefile.py")

Notes:

  • Uses binary reading to avoid encoding issues
  • Guaranteed to close the file (Python3.x warns about this)
  • Defines __main__, some scripts depend on this to check if they are loading as a module or not for eg. if __name__ == "__main__"
  • Setting __file__ is nicer for exception messages and some scripts use __file__ to get the paths of other files relative to them.
  • Takes optional globals & locals arguments, modifying them in-place as execfile does - so you can access any variables defined by reading back the variables after running.

  • Unlike Python2's execfile this does not modify the current namespace by default. For that you have to explicitly pass in globals() & locals().

How to make an android app to always run in background?

In mi and vivo - Using the above solution is not enough. You must also tell the user to add permission manually. You can help them by opening the right location inside phone settings. Varies for different phone models.

rbind error: "names do not match previous names"

easy enough to use the unname() function:

data.frame <- unname(data.frame)

Sort a list of Class Instances Python

In addition to the solution you accepted, you could also implement the special __lt__() ("less than") method on the class. The sort() method (and the sorted() function) will then be able to compare the objects, and thereby sort them. This works best when you will only ever sort them on this attribute, however.

class Foo(object):

     def __init__(self, score):
         self.score = score

     def __lt__(self, other):
         return self.score < other.score

l = [Foo(3), Foo(1), Foo(2)]
l.sort()

PHP refresh window? equivalent to F5 page reload?

with php you can use two redirections. It works same as refresh in some issues.

you can use a page redirect.php and post your last url to it by GET method (for example). then in redirect.php you can change header to location you`ve sent to it by GET method.

like this: your page:

<?php
header("location:redirec.php?ref=".$your_url);
?>

redirect.php:

<?php
$ref_url=$_GET["ref"];
header("location:redirec.php?ref=".$ref_url);
?>

that worked for me good.

How to rename files and folder in Amazon S3?

As answered by Naaz direct renaming of s3 is not possible.

i have attached a code snippet which will copy all the contents

How can I access localhost from another computer in the same network?

localhost is a special hostname that almost always resolves to 127.0.0.1. If you ask someone else to connect to http://localhost they'll be connecting to their computer instead or yours.

To share your web server with someone else you'll need to find your IP address or your hostname and provide that to them instead. On windows you can find this with ipconfig /all on a command line.

You'll also need to make sure any firewalls you may have configured allow traffic on port 80 to connect to the WAMP server.

How exactly to use Notification.Builder

UPDATE android-N (march-2016)

Please visit Notifications Updates link for more details.

  • Direct Reply
  • Bundled Notifications
  • Custom Views

Android N also allows you to bundle similar notifications to appear as a single notification. To make this possible, Android N uses the existing NotificationCompat.Builder.setGroup() method. Users can expand each of the notifications, and perform actions such as reply and dismiss on each of the notifications, individually from the notification shade.

This is a pre-existing sample which shows a simple service that sends notifications using NotificationCompat. Each unread conversation from a user is sent as a distinct notification.

This sample has been updated to take advantage of new notification features available in Android N.

Linux delete file with size 0

To search and delete empty files in the current directory and subdirectories:

find . -type f -empty -delete

-type f is necessary because also directories are marked to be of size zero.


The dot . (current directory) is the starting search directory. If you have GNU find (e.g. not Mac OS), you can omit it in this case:

find -type f -empty -delete

From GNU find documentation:

If no files to search are specified, the current directory (.) is used.

Find package name for Android apps to use Intent to launch Market app from web

Not sure if you still need this, but in http://www.appbrain.com/ , you look up the app and the package name is in the url. For example: http://www.appbrain.com/app/fruit-ninja/com.halfbrick.fruitninja is the link for fruit ninja. Notice the bold

Fastest way to check if a value exists in a list

a = [4,2,3,1,5,6]

index = dict((y,x) for x,y in enumerate(a))
try:
   a_index = index[7]
except KeyError:
   print "Not found"
else:
   print "found"

This will only be a good idea if a doesn't change and thus we can do the dict() part once and then use it repeatedly. If a does change, please provide more detail on what you are doing.

Convert string to number field

Within Crystal, you can do it by creating a formula that uses the ToNumber function. It might be a good idea to code for the possibility that the field might include non-numeric data - like so:

If NumericText ({field}) then ToNumber ({field}) else 0

Alternatively, you might find it easier to convert the field's datatype within the query used in the report.

Comparing arrays in C#

I know this is an old topic, but I think it is still relevant, and would like to share an implementation of an array comparison method which I feel strikes the right balance between performance and elegance.

static bool CollectionEquals<T>(ICollection<T> a, ICollection<T> b, IEqualityComparer<T> comparer = null)
{
    return ReferenceEquals(a, b) || a != null && b != null && a.Count == b.Count && a.SequenceEqual(b, comparer);
}

The idea here is to check for all of the early out conditions first, then fall back on SequenceEqual. It also avoids doing extra branching and instead relies on boolean short-circuit to avoid unecessary execution. I also feel it looks clean and is easy to understand.

Also, by using ICollection for the parameters, it will work with more than just arrays.

how to write procedure to insert data in to the table in phpmyadmin?

Javascript close alert box

As mentioned previously you really can't do this. You can do a modal dialog inside the window using a UI framework, or you can have a popup window, with a script that auto-closes after a timeout... each has a negative aspect. The modal window inside the browser won't create any notification if the window is minimized, and a programmatic (timer based) popup is likely to be blocked by modern browsers, and popup blockers.

JavaScript ternary operator example with functions

Heh, there are some pretty exciting uses of ternary syntax in your question; I like the last one the best...

x = (1 < 2) ? true : false;

The use of ternary here is totally unnecessary - you could simply write

x = (1 < 2);

Likewise, the condition element of a ternary statement is always evaluated as a Boolean value, and therefore you can express:

(IsChecked == true) ? removeItem($this) : addItem($this);

Simply as:

(IsChecked) ? removeItem($this) : addItem($this);

In fact, I would also remove the IsChecked temporary as well which leaves you with:

($this.hasClass("IsChecked")) ? removeItem($this) : addItem($this);

As for whether this is acceptable syntax, it sure is! It's a great way to reduce four lines of code into one without impacting readability. The only word of advice I would give you is to avoid nesting multiple ternary statements on the same line (that way lies madness!)

Change the color of cells in one column when they don't match cells in another column

I used conditional formatting with new rule. Formula was "=IF($E1<>$I1,1,0)" for highlights in orange and "=IF($E1=$I1,1,0)" to highlight in green.

Next problem is how many columns you want to highlight. If you open Conditional Formatting Rules Manager you can edit for each rule domain of applicability: Check "Applies to"

In my case I used "=$E:$E,$I:$I" for both rules so I highlight only two columns for differences - column I and column E.

How to include duplicate keys in HashMap?

hashMaps can't have duplicate keys. That said, you can create a map with list values:

Map<Integer, List<String>>

However, using this approach will have performance implications.

How to delete Certain Characters in a excel 2010 cell

If [John Smith] is in cell A1, then use this formula to do what you want:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1, "[", ""), "]", "")

The inner SUBSTITUTE replaces all instances of "[" with "" and returns a new string, then the other SUBSTITUTE replaces all instances of "]" with "" and returns the final result.

Default keystore file does not exist?

In macOS, open the Terminal and type below command

~/.android

It will navigate to the folder that containing Keystore file (You can confirm it with 'ls' command)

In my case, there is a file named 'debug.keystore'. Then type below command in the terminal from the ~/.android directory.

keytool -list -v -keystore debug.keystore

You will get the expected output.

HTML5 Form Input Pattern Currency Format

The best we could come up with is this:

^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$

I realize it might seem too much, but as far as I can test it matches anything that a human eye would accept as valid currency value and weeds out everything else.

It matches these:

1 => true
1.00 => true
$1 => true
$1000 => true
0.1 => true
1,000.00 => true
$1,000,000 => true
5678 => true

And weeds out these:

1.001 => false
02.0 => false
22,42 => false
001 => false
192.168.1.2 => false
, => false
.55 => false
2000,000 => false

Python: How would you save a simple settings/config file?

try using cfg4py:

Convert CString to const char*

To convert a TCHAR CString to ASCII, use the CT2A macro - this will also allow you to convert the string to UTF8 (or any other Windows code page):

// Convert using the local code page
CString str(_T("Hello, world!"));
CT2A ascii(str);
TRACE(_T("ASCII: %S\n"), ascii.m_psz);

// Convert to UTF8
CString str(_T("Some Unicode goodness"));
CT2A ascii(str, CP_UTF8);
TRACE(_T("UTF8: %S\n"), ascii.m_psz);

// Convert to Thai code page
CString str(_T("Some Thai text"));
CT2A ascii(str, 874);
TRACE(_T("Thai: %S\n"), ascii.m_psz);

There is also a macro to convert from ASCII -> Unicode (CA2T) and you can use these in ATL/WTL apps as long as you have VS2003 or greater.

See the MSDN for more info.

How to convert integer to char in C?

To Convert char to int use:

char c='5';
int a=c-'0';
printf("%d",a);        //prints 5

Java using enum with switch statement

Short associative function example:

public String getIcon(TipoNotificacao tipo)
{
    switch (tipo){
        case Comentou : return "fa fa-comments";
        case ConviteEnviou : return "icon-envelope";
        case ConviteAceitou : return "fa fa-bolt";
        default: return "";
    }
}

Like @Dhanushka said, omit the qualifier inside "switch" is the key.

        this.dirName = dirName;
        this.language = language;
    }

    public String extractText(final Bitmap bitmap) {
        final TessBaseAPI tessBaseApi = new TessBaseAPI();

                outstream.write(buffer, 0, read);
            }
            outstream.flush();
            outstream.close();
            instream.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

To use that you need traineddata file. You can download trainddata file from this link.

Once you’ve downloaded the traineddata file you want, you need to make an Android Resource directory named assets in your android project. In the newly created assets folder, you need to create a regular directory named “tessdata” where you can place your traineddata files. Finally you have to init the "TextExtractor" class in your MainActivity.

final TextExtractor textExtractor = new TextExtractor(this, "tessdata", "eng");

First parameter is the context, the second one is the name of directory just created and the last one is the language of traineddata just downloaded.

To extract text you have to call the "extractText" method:

final String text = textExtractor.extractText(imageWithText);

Note that extractText need a BitMap image to work!! You can create a BitMap image from your drawable file with this line:

final BitMap image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.test_image);

If you need more support, I suggest you to follow this usefull guide: https://github.com/SamVanRoy/Android_OCR_App

jQuery set radio button

Your selector looks for the descendant of a input:radio[name=cols] element that has the id of newcol (well the value of that variable).

Try this instead (since you're selecting by ID anyway):

$('#' + newcol).prop('checked',true);

Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/jasper/n8CdM/1/

Also, as of jQuery 1.6 the perferred method of altering a property is .prop(): http://api.jquery.com/prop

How to count the NaN values in a column in pandas DataFrame

There is a nice Dzone article from July 2017 which details various ways of summarising NaN values. Check it out here.

The article I have cited provides additional value by: (1) Showing a way to count and display NaN counts for every column so that one can easily decide whether or not to discard those columns and (2) Demonstrating a way to select those rows in specific which have NaNs so that they may be selectively discarded or imputed.

Here's a quick example to demonstrate the utility of the approach - with only a few columns perhaps its usefulness is not obvious but I found it to be of help for larger data-frames.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# example DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2,np.nan], 'b':[np.nan,1,np.nan]})

# Check whether there are null values in columns
null_columns = df.columns[df.isnull().any()]
print(df[null_columns].isnull().sum())

# One can follow along further per the cited article

How to bind bootstrap popover on dynamic elements

This is how I made the code so it can handle dynamically created elements using popover feature. Using this code, you can trigger the popover to show by default.

HTML:

<div rel="this-should-be-the-target">
</div>

JQuery:

$(function() {
    var targetElement = 'rel="this-should-be-the-target"';
    initPopover(targetElement, "Test Popover Content");

    // use this line if you want it to show by default
    $(targetElement).popover('show');
    
    function initPopover(target, popOverContent) {
        $(target).each(function(i, obj) {
            $(this).popover({
                placement : 'auto',
                trigger : 'hover',
                "html": true,
                content: popOverContent
            });
         });
     }
});

How to get a vCard (.vcf file) into Android contacts from website

I had problems with importing a VERSION:4.0 vcard file on Android 7 (LineageOS) with the standard Contacts app.

Since this is on the top search hits for "android vcard format not supported", I just wanted to note that I was able to import them with the Simple Contacts app (Play or F-Droid).

undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

To summarize the above post by Cheers and hth. - Alf, Make sure you have main() or WinMain() defined and g++ should do the right thing.

My problem was that main() was defined inside of a namespace by accident.

continuous page numbering through section breaks

You can check out this post on SuperUser.

Word starts page numbering over for each new section by default.

I do it slightly differently than the post above that goes through the ribbon menus, but in both methods you have to go through the document to each section's beginning.

My method:

  • open up the footer (or header if that's where your page number is)
  • drag-select the page number
  • right-click on it
  • hit Format Page Numbers
  • click on the Continue from Previous Section radio button under Page numbering

I find this right-click method to be a little faster. Also, usually if I insert the page numbers first before I start making any new sections, this problem doesn't happen in the first place.

How to expand/collapse a diff sections in Vimdiff?

Aside from the ones you mention, I only use frequently when diffing the following:

  • :diffupdate :diffu -> recalculate the diff, useful when after making several changes vim's isn't showing minimal changes anymore. Note that it only works if the files have been modified inside vimdiff. Otherwise, use:
    • :e to reload the files if they have been modified outside of vimdiff.
  • :set noscrollbind -> temporarily disable simultaneous scrolling on both buffers, reenable by :set scrollbind and scrolling.

Most of what you asked for is folding: vim user manual's chapter on folding. Outside of diffs I sometime use:

  • zo -> open fold.
  • zc -> close fold.

But you'll probably be better served by:

  • zr -> reducing folding level.
  • zm -> one more folding level, please.

or even:

  • zR -> Reduce completely the folding, I said!.
  • zM -> fold Most!.

The other thing you asked for, use n lines of folding, can be found at the vim reference manual section on options, via the section on diff:

  • set diffopt=<TAB>, then update or add context:n.

You should also take a look at the user manual section on diff.

How to convert a byte array to a hex string in Java?

If you're looking for a byte array exactly like this for python, I have converted this Java implementation into python.

class ByteArray:

@classmethod
def char(cls, args=[]):
    cls.hexArray = "0123456789ABCDEF".encode('utf-16')
    j = 0
    length = (cls.hexArray)

    if j < length:
        v = j & 0xFF
        hexChars = [None, None]
        hexChars[j * 2] = str( cls.hexArray) + str(v)
        hexChars[j * 2 + 1] = str(cls.hexArray) + str(v) + str(0x0F)
        # Use if you want...
        #hexChars.pop()

    return str(hexChars)

array = ByteArray()
print array.char(args=[])

How connect Postgres to localhost server using pgAdmin on Ubuntu?

First you should change the password using terminal. (username is postgres)

Now you will be able to connect using pgadmin with the new password.

CSS background opacity with rgba not working in IE 8

There are mostly all browser support RGBa code in CSS but only IE8 and below level does not support RGBa css code. For This here is solution. For The solution you must follow this code and it’s better to go with it’s sequence otherwise you will not get perfect output as you wish. This code is used by me and it’s mostly perfect. make comment if it’s perfect.

.class
 {
        /* Web browsers that does not support RGBa */
        background: rgb(0, 0, 0);
        /* IE9/FF/chrome/safari supported */
        background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
        /* IE 8 suppoerted */
        /* Here some time problem for Hover than you can use background color/image */
        -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#88000000, endColorstr=#88000000)";
        /* Below IE7 supported */
        filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#88000000, endColorstr=#88000000);
 }

Using Switch Statement to Handle Button Clicks

Just change the class (I suppose it's the main Activity) to implement View.OnClickListener and on the onClick method put the general onClick actions you want to put:

public class MediaPlayer extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Button b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonplay);       
    b1.setOnClickListener(this);
    //{YOUR APP}
}


@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // Perform action on click
    switch(v.getId()) {
    case R.id.buttonplay:
        //Play voicefile
        MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.voicefile).start();
        break;
    case R.id.buttonstop:
        //Stop MediaPlayer
        MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.voicefile).stop();
        break;
    }

}}

I took it from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm-hNlTD1H0 . It's good for starters.

how do you view macro code in access?

EDIT: Per Michael Dillon's answer, SaveAsText does save the commands in a macro without having to go through converting to VBA. I don't know what happened when I tested that, but it didn't produce useful text in the resulting file.

So, I learned something new today!

ORIGINAL POST: To expand the question, I wondered if there was a way to retrieve the contents of a macro from code, and it doesn't appear that there is (at least not in A2003, which is what I'm running).

There are two collections through which you can access stored Macros:

  CurrentDB.Containers("Scripts").Documents
  CurrentProject.AllMacros

The properties that Intellisense identifies for the two collections are rather different, because the collections are of different types. The first (i.e., traditional, pre-A2000 way) is via a documents collection, and the methods/properties/members of all documents are the same, i.e., not specific to Macros.

Likewise, the All... collections of CurrentProject return collections where the individual items are of type Access Object. The result is that Intellisense gives you methods/properties/members that may not exist for the particular document/object.

So far as I can tell, there is no way to programatically retrieve the contents of a macro.

This would stand to reason, as macros aren't of much use to anyone who would have the capability of writing code to examine them programatically.

But if you just want to evaluate what the macros do, one alternative would be to convert them to VBA, which can be done programmatically thus:

  Dim varItem As Variant
  Dim strMacroName As String

  For Each varItem In CurrentProject.AllMacros
    strMacroName = varItem.Name
    'Debug.Print strMacroName
    DoCmd.SelectObject acMacro, strMacroName, True
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdConvertMacrosToVisualBasic
    Application.SaveAsText acModule, "Converted Macro- " & strMacroName, _
      CurrentProject.Path & "\" & "Converted Macro- " & strMacroName & ".txt"
  Next varItem

Then you could use the resulting text files for whatever you needed to do.

Note that this has to be run interactively in Access because it uses DoCmd.RunCommand, and you have to click OK for each macro -- tedious for databases with lots of macros, but not too onerous for a normal app, which shouldn't have more than a handful of macros.

What's the difference between getRequestURI and getPathInfo methods in HttpServletRequest?

Let's break down the full URL that a client would type into their address bar to reach your servlet:

http://www.example.com:80/awesome-application/path/to/servlet/path/info?a=1&b=2#boo

The parts are:

  1. scheme: http
  2. hostname: www.example.com
  3. port: 80
  4. context path: awesome-application
  5. servlet path: path/to/servlet
  6. path info: path/info
  7. query: a=1&b=2
  8. fragment: boo

The request URI (returned by getRequestURI) corresponds to parts 4, 5 and 6.

(incidentally, even though you're not asking for this, the method getRequestURL would give you parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).

Now:

  • part 4 (the context path) is used to select your particular application out of many other applications that may be running in the server
  • part 5 (the servlet path) is used to select a particular servlet out of many other servlets that may be bundled in your application's WAR
  • part 6 (the path info) is interpreted by your servlet's logic (e.g. it may point to some resource controlled by your servlet).
  • part 7 (the query) is also made available to your servlet using getQueryString
  • part 8 (the fragment) is not even sent to the server and is relevant and known only to the client

The following always holds (except for URL encoding differences):

requestURI = contextPath + servletPath + pathInfo

The following example from the Servlet 3.0 specification is very helpful:

The above code is working for me. Can you please indicate what error you are facing?

How to debug an apache virtual host configuration?

I recently had some issues with a VirtualHost. I used a2ensite to enable a host but before running a restart (which would kill the server on fail) I ran

apache2ctl -S

Which gives you some info about what's going on with your virtual hosts. It's not perfect, but it helps.

How to make `setInterval` behave more in sync, or how to use `setTimeout` instead?

Only to supplement. If you need to pass a variable and iterate it, you can do just like so:

function start(counter){
  if(counter < 10){
    setTimeout(function(){
      counter++;
      console.log(counter);
      start(counter);
    }, 1000);
  }
}
start(0);

Output:

1
2
3
...
9
10

One line per second.

how can I enable scrollbars on the WPF Datagrid?

Adding MaxHeight and VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" on the DataGrid solved my problem.

Getting attribute of element in ng-click function in angularjs

Try passing it directly to the ng-click function:

<div class="col-lg-1 text-center">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash" data="{{event.id}}"
          ng-click="deleteEvent(event.id)"></span>
</div>

Then it should be available in your handler:

$scope.deleteEvent=function(idPassedFromNgClick){
    console.log(idPassedFromNgClick);
}

Here's an example

Android ViewPager with bottom dots

Here is how I did this, somewhat similar to the solutions above. Just make sure you call the loadDots() method after all images are downloaded.

    private int dotsCount;
    private TextView dotsTextView[];

    private void setupAdapter() {
        adapter = new SomeAdapter(getContext(), images);
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
        viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(viewPagerPageChangeListener);
    }

    private final ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener viewPagerPageChangeListener = new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {}

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            for (int i = 0; i < dotsCount; i++)
                dotsTextView[i].setTextColor(Color.GRAY);

            dotsTextView[position].setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {}
    };

    protected void loadDots() {
        dotsCount = adapter.getCount();
        dotsTextView = new TextView[dotsCount];
        for (int i = 0; i < dotsCount; i++) {
            dotsTextView[i] = new TextView(getContext());
            dotsTextView[i].setText(R.string.dot);
            dotsTextView[i].setTextSize(45);
            dotsTextView[i].setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
            dotsTextView[i].setTextColor(android.graphics.Color.GRAY);
            mDotsLayout.addView(dotsTextView[i]);
        }
        dotsTextView[0].setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
    }

Could not load file or assembly '***.dll' or one of its dependencies

I had the same problem. For me, it was caused by the default settings in the local IIS server on my machine. So the easy way to fix it, was to use the built in Visual Studio development server instead :)

Newer IIS versions on x64 machines have a setting that doesn't allow 32 bit applications to run by default. To enable 32 bit applications in the local IIS, select the relevant application pool in IIS manager, click "Advanced settings", and change "Enable 32-Bit Applications" from False to True

How can I set a website image that will show as preview on Facebook?

If you're using Weebly, start by viewing the published site and right-clicking the image to Copy Image Address. Then in Weebly, go to Edit Site, Pages, click the page you wish to use, SEO Settings, under Header Code enter the code from Shef's answer:

<meta property="og:image" content="/uploads/..." />

just replacing /uploads/... with the copied image address. Click Publish to apply the change.

You can skip the part of Shef's answer about namespace, because that's already set by default in Weebly.

How to set image to fit width of the page using jsPDF?

There where a lot of solutions with .addImage, I tried many of them, but nothing worked out. So I found the .html() function and after some tries the html2canvas-scale-option. This solution is no general solution, you have to adjust the scale so it will fit your pdf, but this is the only solution, which works for me.

var doc = new jspdf.jsPDF({
    orientation: 'p',
    unit: 'pt',
    format: 'a4'
});

doc.html(document.querySelector('#styledTable'), {
    callback: function (doc) {
        doc.save('file.pdf');
    },
    margin: [60, 60, 60, 60],
    x: 32,
    y: 32,
    html2canvas: {
        scale: 0.3, //this was my solution, you have to adjust to your size
        width: 1000 //for some reason width does nothing
    },
});

Fastest way to convert JavaScript NodeList to Array?

NodeList.prototype.forEach = Array.prototype.forEach;

Now you can do document.querySelectorAll('div').forEach(function()...)

JavaScript post request like a form submit

Dynamically create <input>s in a form and submit it

/**
 * sends a request to the specified url from a form. this will change the window location.
 * @param {string} path the path to send the post request to
 * @param {object} params the paramiters to add to the url
 * @param {string} [method=post] the method to use on the form
 */

function post(path, params, method='post') {

  // The rest of this code assumes you are not using a library.
  // It can be made less wordy if you use one.
  const form = document.createElement('form');
  form.method = method;
  form.action = path;

  for (const key in params) {
    if (params.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      const hiddenField = document.createElement('input');
      hiddenField.type = 'hidden';
      hiddenField.name = key;
      hiddenField.value = params[key];

      form.appendChild(hiddenField);
    }
  }

  document.body.appendChild(form);
  form.submit();
}

Example:

post('/contact/', {name: 'Johnny Bravo'});

EDIT: Since this has gotten upvoted so much, I'm guessing people will be copy-pasting this a lot. So I added the hasOwnProperty check to fix any inadvertent bugs.

C# MessageBox dialog result

If you're using WPF and the previous answers don't help, you can retrieve the result using:

var result = MessageBox.Show("Message", "caption", MessageBoxButton.YesNo, MessageBoxImage.Question);

if (result == MessageBoxResult.Yes)
{
    // Do something
}

Missing Authentication Token while accessing API Gateway?

For the record, if you wouldn't be using credentials, this error also shows when you are setting the request validator in your POST/PUT method to "validate body, query string parameters and HEADERS", or the other option "validate query string parameters and HEADERS"....in that case it will look for the credentials on the header and reject the request. To sum it up, if you don't intend to send credentials and want to keep it open you should not set that option in request validator(set it to either NONE or to validate body)

argparse module How to add option without any argument?

As @Felix Kling suggested use action='store_true':

>>> from argparse import ArgumentParser
>>> p = ArgumentParser()

>>> args = p.parse_args()
>>> args.foo
False
>>> args = p.parse_args(['-f'])
>>> args.foo
True

Get input value from TextField in iOS alert in Swift

Swift 3/4

You can use the below extension for your convenience.

Usage inside a ViewController:

showInputDialog(title: "Add number",
                subtitle: "Please enter the new number below.",
                actionTitle: "Add",
                cancelTitle: "Cancel",
                inputPlaceholder: "New number",
                inputKeyboardType: .numberPad)
{ (input:String?) in
    print("The new number is \(input ?? "")")
}

The extension code:

extension UIViewController {
    func showInputDialog(title:String? = nil,
                         subtitle:String? = nil,
                         actionTitle:String? = "Add",
                         cancelTitle:String? = "Cancel",
                         inputPlaceholder:String? = nil,
                         inputKeyboardType:UIKeyboardType = UIKeyboardType.default,
                         cancelHandler: ((UIAlertAction) -> Swift.Void)? = nil,
                         actionHandler: ((_ text: String?) -> Void)? = nil) {

        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: subtitle, preferredStyle: .alert)
        alert.addTextField { (textField:UITextField) in
            textField.placeholder = inputPlaceholder
            textField.keyboardType = inputKeyboardType
        }
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: actionTitle, style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
            guard let textField =  alert.textFields?.first else {
                actionHandler?(nil)
                return
            }
            actionHandler?(textField.text)
        }))
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: cancelTitle, style: .cancel, handler: cancelHandler))

        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Refresh/reload the content in Div using jquery/ajax

$("#myDiv").load(location.href+" #myDiv>*","");

force line break in html table cell

I think what you're trying to do is wrap loooooooooooooong words or URLs so they don't push the size of the table out. (I've just been trying to do the same thing!)

You can do this easily with a DIV by giving it the style word-wrap: break-word (and you may need to set its width, too).

div {
    word-wrap: break-word;         /* All browsers since IE 5.5+ */
    overflow-wrap: break-word;     /* Renamed property in CSS3 draft spec */
    width: 100%;
}

However, for tables, you must either wrap the content in a DIV (or other block tag) or apply: table-layout: fixed. This means the columns widths are no longer fluid, but are defined based on the widths of the columns in the first row only (or via specified widths). Read more here.

Sample code:

table {
    table-layout: fixed;
    width: 100%;
}

table td {
    word-wrap: break-word;         /* All browsers since IE 5.5+ */
    overflow-wrap: break-word;     /* Renamed property in CSS3 draft spec */
}

Hope that helps somebody.

What's the best three-way merge tool?

Beyond Compare 3 Pro supports three-way merging, and it is a pretty impressive merge tool. It's commercial (but worth it, IMHO) and is available on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

As pointed out in a comment, it's also inexpensive.

Enter image description here

Note: If one does not have a merge set, that is, merge markers resident in the destination file, Beyond Compare does not offer three-way file compare/editing. Beyond Compare says that feature is on their list.

Note: 3-way merge is a feature in the Pro edition of Beyond Compare 3 only

Determine if string is in list in JavaScript

Looks like you need to use in_array function.

jQuery -> inArray

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind <null>:80

Use the following command to find if your tomcat port is already in use,

netstat -a -b

netstat -a -o | findstr :port

For example

netstat -a -o | findstr :8080

Exception: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind:80

means that port 80 is configured by your Tomcat server and it is already used by some other application running on your computer. Please quit Skype if open or change the default port in Skype or other application's port to something other than 80. Or change the tomcat port to something else than 80(e.g. 8080 or 9090) in the server.xml file under the config folder of your tomcat installation directory.

Exception: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

means you din't stop the tomcat server properly and you are trying to start the server again. In Eclipse, the solution for me was to remove the project from the servers tab and right click and run the project as Run on server. This added the project back to the Tomcat 7 and I din't get the BindException error. This was due to closing eclipse the last time you used without stopping the Tomcat server.

Embed Google Map code in HTML with marker

no javascript or third party 'tools' necessary, use this:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=<YOUR API KEY>&q=71.0378379,-110.05995059999998"></iframe>

the place parameter provides the marker

there are a few options for the format of the 'q' parameter

make sure you have Google Maps Embed API and Static Maps API enabled in your APIs, or google will block the request

How do you allow spaces to be entered using scanf?

This example uses an inverted scanset, so scanf keeps taking in values until it encounters a '\n'-- newline, so spaces get saved as well

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    char name[20];
    scanf("%[^\n]s",name);
    printf("%s\n", name);
    return 0;
}

Difference between clustered and nonclustered index

You really need to keep two issues apart:

1) the primary key is a logical construct - one of the candidate keys that uniquely and reliably identifies every row in your table. This can be anything, really - an INT, a GUID, a string - pick what makes most sense for your scenario.

2) the clustering key (the column or columns that define the "clustered index" on the table) - this is a physical storage-related thing, and here, a small, stable, ever-increasing data type is your best pick - INT or BIGINT as your default option.

By default, the primary key on a SQL Server table is also used as the clustering key - but that doesn't need to be that way!

One rule of thumb I would apply is this: any "regular" table (one that you use to store data in, that is a lookup table etc.) should have a clustering key. There's really no point not to have a clustering key. Actually, contrary to common believe, having a clustering key actually speeds up all the common operations - even inserts and deletes (since the table organization is different and usually better than with a heap - a table without a clustering key).

Kimberly Tripp, the Queen of Indexing has a great many excellent articles on the topic of why to have a clustering key, and what kind of columns to best use as your clustering key. Since you only get one per table, it's of utmost importance to pick the right clustering key - and not just any clustering key.

Change form size at runtime in C#

In order to call this you will have to store a reference to your form and pass the reference to the run method. Then you can call this in an actionhandler.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public void ChangeSize(int width, int height)
    {
        this.Size = new Size(width, height);
    }
}

How to check identical array in most efficient way?

You could compare String representations so:

array1.toString() == array2.toString()
array1.toString() !== array3.toString()

but that would also make

array4 = ['1',2,3,4,5]

equal to array1 if that matters to you

How to set <iframe src="..."> without causing `unsafe value` exception?

Update v8

Below answers work but exposes your application to XSS security risks!. Instead of using this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(url), it is recommended to use this.sanitizer.sanitize(SecurityContext.URL, url)

Update

For RC.6^ version use DomSanitizer

Plunker

And a good option is using pure pipe for that:

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer} from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Pipe({ name: 'safe' })
export class SafePipe implements PipeTransform {
  constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}
  transform(url) {
    return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(url);
  }
} 

remember to add your new SafePipe to the declarations array of the AppModule. (as seen on documentation)

@NgModule({
   declarations : [
     ...
     SafePipe
   ],

You can leverage DomSanitizationService like this:

export class YourComponent {
  url: SafeResourceUrl;
  constructor(sanitizer: DomSanitizationService) {
    this.url = sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl('your url');
  }
}

And then bind to url in your template:

Excel VBA code to copy a specific string to clipboard

If the url is in a cell in your workbook, you can simply copy the value from that cell:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Copy
End Sub

(Add a button by using the developer tab. Customize the ribbon if it isn't visible.)

If the url isn't in the workbook, you can use the Windows API. The code that follows can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210216

After you've added the API calls below, change the code behind the button to copy to the clipboard:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    ClipBoard_SetData ("http:\\stackoverflow.com")
End Sub

Add a new module to your workbook and paste in the following code:

How to scroll to the bottom of a UITableView on the iPhone before the view appears

If you need to scroll to the EXACT end of the content, you can do it like this:

- (void)scrollToBottom
{
    CGFloat yOffset = 0;

    if (self.tableView.contentSize.height > self.tableView.bounds.size.height) {
        yOffset = self.tableView.contentSize.height - self.tableView.bounds.size.height;
    }

    [self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, yOffset) animated:NO];
}

Why do we need to use flatMap?

When I started to have a look at Rxjs I also stumbled on that stone. What helped me is the following:

  • documentation from reactivex.io . For instance, for flatMap: http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/flatmap.html
  • documentation from rxmarbles : http://rxmarbles.com/. You will not find flatMap there, you must look at mergeMap instead (another name).
  • the introduction to Rx that you have been missing: https://gist.github.com/staltz/868e7e9bc2a7b8c1f754. It addresses a very similar example. In particular it addresses the fact that a promise is akin to an observable emitting only one value.
  • finally looking at the type information from RxJava. Javascript not being typed does not help here. Basically if Observable<T> denotes an observable object which pushes values of type T, then flatMap takes a function of type T' -> Observable<T> as its argument, and returns Observable<T>. map takes a function of type T' -> T and returns Observable<T>.

    Going back to your example, you have a function which produces promises from an url string. So T' : string, and T : promise. And from what we said before promise : Observable<T''>, so T : Observable<T''>, with T'' : html. If you put that promise producing function in map, you get Observable<Observable<T''>> when what you want is Observable<T''>: you want the observable to emit the html values. flatMap is called like that because it flattens (removes an observable layer) the result from map. Depending on your background, this might be chinese to you, but everything became crystal clear to me with typing info and the drawing from here: http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/flatmap.html.

Xcode 5 and iOS 7: Architecture and Valid architectures

Set the architecture in build setting to Standard architectures(armv7,armv7s)

enter image description here

iPhone 5S is powered by A7 64bit processor. From apple docs

Xcode can build your app with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries included. This combined binary requires a minimum deployment target of iOS 7 or later.

Note: A future version of Xcode will let you create a single app that supports the 32-bit runtime on iOS 6 and later, and that supports the 64-bit runtime on iOS 7.

From the documentation what i understood is

  • Xcode can create both 64bit 32bit binaries for a single app but the deployment target should be iOS7. They are saying in future it will be iOS 6.0
  • 32 bit binary will work fine in iPhone 5S(64 bit processor).

Update (Xcode 5.0.1)
In Xcode 5.0.1 they added the support to create 64 bit binary for iOS 5.1.1 onwards.

Xcode 5.0.1 can build your app with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries included. This combined binary requires a minimum deployment target of iOS 5.1.1 or later. The 64-bit binary runs only on 64-bit devices running iOS 7.0.3 and later.

Update (Xcode 5.1)
Xcode 5.1 made significant change in the architecture section. This answer will be a followup for you. Check this

Is there a decorator to simply cache function return values?

There is fastcache, which is "C implementation of Python 3 functools.lru_cache. Provides speedup of 10-30x over standard library."

Same as chosen answer, just different import:

from fastcache import lru_cache
@lru_cache(maxsize=128, typed=False)
def f(a, b):
    pass

Also, it comes installed in Anaconda, unlike functools which needs to be installed.

Count number of rows by group using dplyr

I think what you are looking for is as follows.

cars_by_cylinders_gears <- mtcars %>%
  group_by(cyl, gear) %>%
  summarise(count = n())

This is using the dplyr package. This is essentially the longhand version of the count () solution provided by docendo discimus.

Update value of a nested dictionary of varying depth

That's a bit to the side but do you really need nested dictionaries? Depending on the problem, sometimes flat dictionary may suffice... and look good at it:

>>> dict1 = {('level1','level2','levelA'): 0}
>>> dict1['level1','level2','levelB'] = 1
>>> update = {('level1','level2','levelB'): 10}
>>> dict1.update(update)
>>> print dict1
{('level1', 'level2', 'levelB'): 10, ('level1', 'level2', 'levelA'): 0}

Pandas sum by groupby, but exclude certain columns

You can select the columns of a groupby:

In [11]: df.groupby(['Country', 'Item_Code'])[["Y1961", "Y1962", "Y1963"]].sum()
Out[11]:
                       Y1961  Y1962  Y1963
Country     Item_Code
Afghanistan 15            10     20     30
            25            10     20     30
Angola      15            30     40     50
            25            30     40     50

Note that the list passed must be a subset of the columns otherwise you'll see a KeyError.

How can I clear the content of a file?

The simplest way to do this is perhaps deleting the file via your application and creating a new one with the same name... in even simpler way just make your application overwrite it with a new file.

'Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object' error during postback

For ASP.NET 1.1, this is still due to someone posting more than 1000 form fields, but the setting must be changed in the registry rather than a config file. It should be added as a DWORD named MaxHttpCollectionKeys in the registry under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ASP.NET\1.1.4322.0

for 32-bit editions of Windows, and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ASP.NET\1.1.4322.0

for 64-bit editions of Windows.

Add row to query result using select

In SQL Server, you would say:

Select name from users
UNION [ALL]
SELECT 'JASON'

In Oracle, you would say

Select name from user
UNION [ALL]
Select 'JASON' from DUAL

Spark: Add column to dataframe conditionally

How about something like this?

val newDF = df.filter($"B" === "").take(1) match {
  case Array() => df
  case _ => df.withColumn("D", $"B" === "")
}

Using take(1) should have a minimal hit

Check whether a path is valid

You can try this code:

try
{
  Path.GetDirectoryName(myPath);
}
catch
{
  // Path is not valid
}

I'm not sure it covers all the cases...

Force uninstall of Visual Studio

So Soumyaansh's Revo Uninstaller Pro fix worked for me :) ( After 2 days of troubleshooting other options {screams internally 😀} ).

I did run into the an issue with his method though, "Could not find a suitable SDK to target" even though I selected to install Visual Studio with custom settings and selected the SDK I wanted to install. You may need to download the Windows 10 Standalone SDK to resolved this, in order to develop UWP apps if you see this same error after reinstalling Visual Studio.

To do this

  1. Uninstall any Windows 10 SDKs that me on the system (the naming schem for them looks like Windows 10 SDK (WINDOWS_VERSION_NUMBER_HERE) -> Windows 10 SDK (14393) etc . . .). If there are no SDKs on your system go to step 2!
  2. All that's left is to download the SDKs you want by Checking out the SDK Archive for all available SDKs and you should be good to go in developing for the UWP!

convert big endian to little endian in C [without using provided func]

If you are running on a x86 or x86_64 processor, the big endian is native. so

for 16 bit values

unsigned short wBigE = value;
unsigned short wLittleE = ((wBigE & 0xFF) << 8) | (wBigE >> 8);

for 32 bit values

unsigned int   iBigE = value;
unsigned int   iLittleE = ((iBigE & 0xFF) << 24)
                        | ((iBigE & 0xFF00) << 8)
                        | ((iBigE >> 8) & 0xFF00)
                        | (iBigE >> 24);

This isn't the most efficient solution unless the compiler recognises that this is byte level manipulation and generates byte swapping code. But it doesn't depend on any memory layout tricks and can be turned into a macro pretty easily.

Disable button in angular with two conditions?

Declare a variable in component.ts and initialize it to some value

 buttonDisabled: boolean;

  ngOnInit() {
    this.buttonDisabled = false;
  }

Now in .html or in the template, you can put following code:

<button disabled="{{buttonDisabled}}"> Click Me </button>

Now you can enable/disable button by changing value of buttonDisabled variable.

stringstream, string, and char* conversion confusion

The ss.str() temporary is destroyed after initialization of cstr2 is complete. So when you print it with cout, the c-string that was associated with that std::string temporary has long been destoryed, and thus you will be lucky if it crashes and asserts, and not lucky if it prints garbage or does appear to work.

const char* cstr2 = ss.str().c_str();

The C-string where cstr1 points to, however, is associated with a string that still exists at the time you do the cout - so it correctly prints the result.

In the following code, the first cstr is correct (i assume it is cstr1 in the real code?). The second prints the c-string associated with the temporary string object ss.str(). The object is destroyed at the end of evaluating the full-expression in which it appears. The full-expression is the entire cout << ... expression - so while the c-string is output, the associated string object still exists. For cstr2 - it is pure badness that it succeeds. It most possibly internally chooses the same storage location for the new temporary which it already chose for the temporary used to initialize cstr2. It could aswell crash.

cout << cstr            // Prints correctly
    << ss.str().c_str() // Prints correctly
    << cstr2;           // Prints correctly (???)

The return of c_str() will usually just point to the internal string buffer - but that's not a requirement. The string could make up a buffer if its internal implementation is not contiguous for example (that's well possible - but in the next C++ Standard, strings need to be contiguously stored).

In GCC, strings use reference counting and copy-on-write. Thus, you will find that the following holds true (it does, at least on my GCC version)

string a = "hello";
string b(a);
assert(a.c_str() == b.c_str());

The two strings share the same buffer here. At the time you change one of them, the buffer will be copied and each will hold its separate copy. Other string implementations do things different, though.

Advantage of switch over if-else statement

The Switch, if only for readability. Giant if statements are harder to maintain and harder to read in my opinion.

ERROR_01 : // intentional fall-through

or

(ERROR_01 == numError) ||

The later is more error prone and requires more typing and formatting than the first.

JetBrains / IntelliJ keyboard shortcut to collapse all methods

In Rider, this would be Ctrl +Shift+Keypad *, 2

But!, you cannot use the number 2 on keypad, only number 2 on the top row of the keyboard would work.

DB2 Timestamp select statement

You might want to use TRUNC function on your column when comparing with string format, so it compares only till seconds, not milliseconds.

SELECT * FROM <table_name> WHERE id = 1 
AND TRUNC(usagetime, 'SS') = '2012-09-03 08:03:06';

If you wanted to truncate upto minutes, hours, etc. that is also possible, just use appropriate notation instead of 'SS':

hour ('HH'), minute('MI'), year('YEAR' or 'YYYY'), month('MONTH' or 'MM'), Day ('DD')

How to search for a part of a word with ElasticSearch

Try the solution with is described here: Exact Substring Searches in ElasticSearch

        "my_type": {
            "index_analyzer":"index_ngram",
            "search_analyzer":"search_ngram"
        }
    },
    "settings": {
        "analysis": {
            "filter": {
                "ngram_filter": {
                    "type": "ngram",
                    "min_gram": 3,
                    "max_gram": 8
                }
            },
            "analyzer": {
                "index_ngram": {
                    "type": "custom",
                    "tokenizer": "keyword",
                    "filter": [ "ngram_filter", "lowercase" ]
                },
                "search_ngram": {
                    "type": "custom",
                    "tokenizer": "keyword",
                    "filter": "lowercase"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

To solve the disk usage problem and the too-long search term problem short 8 characters long ngrams are used (configured with: "max_gram": 8). To search for terms with more than 8 characters, turn your search into a boolean AND query looking for every distinct 8-character substring in that string. For example, if a user searched for large yard (a 10-character string), the search would be:

"arge ya AND arge yar AND rge yard.

RAW POST using cURL in PHP

Implementation with Guzzle library:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions;

$httpClient = new Client();

$response = $httpClient->post(

        ],
    ]
);

echo(
    $response->getBody()->getContents()
);

PHP CURL extension:

$curlHandler = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curlHandler, [
    CURLOPT_URL => 'https://postman-echo.com/post',

Google Maps API v3: Can I setZoom after fitBounds?

Edit: See Matt Diamond's comment below.

Got it! Try this:

map.fitBounds(bounds);
var listener = google.maps.event.addListener(map, "idle", function() { 
  if (map.getZoom() > 16) map.setZoom(16); 
  google.maps.event.removeListener(listener); 
});

how to check the version of jar file?

Basically you should use the java.lang.Package class which use the classloader to give you informations about your classes.

example:

String.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion();
Package.getPackage(this).getImplementationVersion();
Package.getPackage("java.lang.String").getImplementationVersion();

I think logback is known to use this feature to trace the JAR name/version of each class in its produced stacktraces.

see also http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/versioning/spec/versioning2.html#wp90779

What do the return values of Comparable.compareTo mean in Java?

I use this mnemonic :

a.compareTo(b) < 0 // a < b

a.compareTo(b) > 0 // a > b

a.compareTo(b) == 0 // a == b

You keep the signs and always compare the result of compareTo() to 0

How to move/rename a file using an Ansible task on a remote system

I have found the creates option in the command module useful. How about this:

- name: Move foo to bar
  command: creates="path/to/bar" mv /path/to/foo /path/to/bar

I used to do a 2 task approach using stat like Bruce P suggests. Now I do this as one task with creates. I think this is a lot clearer.

Write values in app.config file

On Framework 4.5 the AppSettings.Settings["key"] part of ConfigurationManager is read only so I had to first Remove the key then Add it again using the following:

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Application.ExecutablePath);

config.AppSettings.Settings.Remove("MySetting");
config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("MySetting", "some value");

config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);

Don't worry, you won't get an exception if you try to Remove a key that doesn't exist.

How to set background image in Java?

The Path is the only thing you really have to worry about if you are really new to Java. You need to drag your image into the main project file, and it will show up at the very bottom of the list.

Then the file path is pretty straight forward. This code goes into the constructor for the class.

    img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("/home/ben/workspace/CS2/Background.jpg");

CS2 is the name of my project, and everything before that is leading to the workspace.

JavaScript - Use variable in string match

You have to use RegExp object if your pattern is string

var xxx = "victoria";
var yyy = "i";
var rgxp = new RegExp(yyy, "g");
alert(xxx.match(rgxp).length);

If pattern is not dynamic string:

var xxx = "victoria";
var yyy = /i/g;
alert(xxx.match(yyy).length);

SQL to Query text in access with an apostrophe in it

...better is declare the name as varible ,and ask before if thereis a apostrophe in the string:

e.g.:

DIM YourName string

YourName = "Daniel O'Neal"

  If InStr(YourName, "'") Then
      SELECT * FROM tblStudents WHERE [name]  Like """ Your Name """ ;
   else
      SELECT * FROM tblStudents WHERE [name] Like '" Your Name "' ;       
  endif

How to open child forms positioned within MDI parent in VB.NET?

See this page for the solution! https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7aw8zc76(v=vs.110).aspx

I was able to implement the Child form inside the parent.

In the Example below Form2 should change to the name of your child form. NewMDIChild.MdiParent=me is the main form since the control that opens (shows) the child form is the parent or Me.

NewMDIChild.Show() is your child form since you associated your child form with Dim NewMDIChild As New Form2()

Protected Sub MDIChildNew_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
   Dim NewMDIChild As New Form2()
   'Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
   NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me
   'Display the new form.
   NewMDIChild.Show()
End Sub

Simple and it works.

HTTP POST and GET using cURL in Linux

I think Amith Koujalgi is correct but also, in cases where the webservice responses are in JSON then it might be more useful to see the results in a clean JSON format instead of a very long string. Just add | grep }| python -mjson.tool to the end of curl commands here is two examples:

GET approach with JSON result

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" http://someHostName/someEndpoint | grep }| python -mjson.tool 

POST approach with JSON result

curl -X POST  -H "Accept: Application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://someHostName/someEndpoint -d '{"id":"IDVALUE","name":"Mike"}' | grep }| python -mjson.tool

How to send a “multipart/form-data” POST in Android with Volley

First answer on SO.

I have encountered the same problem and found @alex 's code very helpful. I have made some simple modifications in order to pass in as many parameters as needed through HashMap, and have basically copied parseNetworkResponse() from StringRequest. I have searched online and so surprised to find out that such a common task is so rarely answered. Anyway, I wish the code could help:

public class MultipartRequest extends Request<String> {

private MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();

private static final String FILE_PART_NAME = "image";

private final Response.Listener<String> mListener;
private final File file;
private final HashMap<String, String> params;

public MultipartRequest(String url, Response.Listener<String> listener, Response.ErrorListener errorListener, File file, HashMap<String, String> params)
{
    super(Method.POST, url, errorListener);

    mListener = listener;
    this.file = file;
    this.params = params;
    buildMultipartEntity();
}

private void buildMultipartEntity()
{
    entity.addPart(FILE_PART_NAME, new FileBody(file));
    try
    {
        for ( String key : params.keySet() ) {
            entity.addPart(key, new StringBody(params.get(key)));
        }
    }
    catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
    {
        VolleyLog.e("UnsupportedEncodingException");
    }
}

@Override
public String getBodyContentType()
{
    return entity.getContentType().getValue();
}

@Override
public byte[] getBody() throws AuthFailureError
{
    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    try
    {
        entity.writeTo(bos);
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        VolleyLog.e("IOException writing to ByteArrayOutputStream");
    }
    return bos.toByteArray();
}

/**
 * copied from Android StringRequest class
 */
@Override
protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
    String parsed;
    try {
        parsed = new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers));
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        parsed = new String(response.data);
    }
    return Response.success(parsed, HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
}

@Override
protected void deliverResponse(String response)
{
    mListener.onResponse(response);
}

And you may use the class as following:

    HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();

    params.put("type", "Some Param");
    params.put("location", "Some Param");
    params.put("contact",  "Some Param");


    MultipartRequest mr = new MultipartRequest(url, new Response.Listener<String>(){

        @Override
        public void onResponse(String response) {
            Log.d("response", response);
        }

    }, new Response.ErrorListener(){

        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
            Log.e("Volley Request Error", error.getLocalizedMessage());
        }

    }, f, params);

    Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(mr);

How to put a Scanner input into an array... for example a couple of numbers

import  java.util.Scanner;

class Array {
public static void main(String a[]){

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter the size of an Array");

    int num = input.nextInt();

    System.out.println("Enter the Element "+num+" of an Array");

    double[] numbers = new double[num];

    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
    {

        System.out.println("Please enter number");

        numbers[i] = input.nextDouble();

    }

    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
    {

        if ( (i%3) !=0){

            System.out.print("");

            System.out.print(numbers[i]+"\t");

        } else {
            System.out.println("");

            System.out.print(numbers[i]+"\t");
        }

    }

}

How can I get a JavaScript stack trace when I throw an exception?

I had to investigate an endless recursion in smartgwt with IE11, so in order to investigate deeper, I needed a stack trace. The problem was, that I was unable to use the dev console, because the reproduction was more difficult that way.
Use the following in a javascript method:

try{ null.toString(); } catch(e) { alert(e.stack); }

FTP/SFTP access to an Amazon S3 Bucket

As other posters have pointed out, there are some limitations with the AWS Transfer for SFTP service. You need to closely align requirements. For example, there are no quotas, whitelists/blacklists, file type limits, and non key based access requires external services. There is also a certain overhead relating to user management and IAM, which can get to be a pain at scale.

We have been running an SFTP S3 Proxy Gateway for about 5 years now for our customers. The core solution is wrapped in a collection of Docker services and deployed in whatever context is needed, even on-premise or local development servers. The use case for us is a little different as our solution is focused data processing and pipelines vs a file share. In a Salesforce example, a customer will use SFTP as the transport method sending email, purchase...data to an SFTP/S3 enpoint. This is mapped an object key on S3. Upon arrival, the data is picked up, processed, routed and loaded to a warehouse. We also have fairly significant auditing requirements for each transfer, something the Cloudwatch logs for AWS do not directly provide.

As other have mentioned, rolling your own is an option too. Using AWS Lightsail you can setup a cluster, say 4, of $10 2GB instances using either Route 53 or an ELB.

In general, it is great to see AWS offer this service and I expect it to mature over time. However, depending on your use case, alternative solutions may be a better fit.

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

I was trying to achieve the exact opposite when I bumped on this thread. I know it's quite old, but here's my solution nonetheless. You can use blocks, see here. In this case, compile the following code (with the right imports):

> String s = "äêìóblah"; 
> Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[\\p{InLatin-1Supplement}]+"); // this regex uses a block
> Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
> System.out.println(m.find());
> System.out.println(s.replaceAll(p.pattern(), "#"));

You should see the following output:

true

#blah

Best,

Delete last commit in bitbucket

you can reset to HEAD^ then force push it.

git reset HEAD^
git push -u origin master --force

It will delete your last commit and will reflect on bitbucket as commit deleted but will still remain on their server.

Synchronous XMLHttpRequest warning and <script>

In my case if i append script tag like this :

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'url/test.js';
$('head').append($(script));

i get that warning but if i append script tag to head first then change src warning gone !

var script = document.createElement('script');
$('head').append($(script));
script.src = 'url/test.js';

works fine!!

symbol(s) not found for architecture i386

Make sure that the missing framework is actually listed under "Target/Build Phases/Link Binary With Libraries" if not just add it. As mentioned before it usually indicates a missing framework.

In my project there were two identical framework listed, when I removed one of them I had this error, because it also removed it form the the "Link Binary With Libraries" list. I added back and the problem disappeared (and I still have two frameworks listed)

List of swagger UI alternatives

Yes, there are a few of them.

Dynamically adding elements to ArrayList in Groovy

The Groovy way to do this is

def list = []
list << new MyType(...)

which creates a list and uses the overloaded leftShift operator to append an item

See the Groovy docs on Lists for lots of examples.

delete vs delete[] operators in C++

When I asked this question, my real question was, "is there a difference between the two? Doesn't the runtime have to keep information about the array size, and so will it not be able to tell which one we mean?" This question does not appear in "related questions", so just to help out those like me, here is the answer to that: "why do we even need the delete[] operator?"

Javascript Debugging line by line using Google Chrome

Assuming you're running on a Windows machine...

  1. Hit the F12 key
  2. Select the Scripts, or Sources, tab in the developer tools
  3. Click the little folder icon in the top level
  4. Select your JavaScript file
  5. Add a breakpoint by clicking on the line number on the left (adds a little blue marker)
  6. Execute your JavaScript

Then during execution debugging you can do a handful of stepping motions...

  • F8 Continue: Will continue until the next breakpoint
  • F10 Step over: Steps over next function call (won't enter the library)
  • F11 Step into: Steps into the next function call (will enter the library)
  • Shift + F11 Step out: Steps out of the current function

Update

After reading your updated post; to debug your code I would recommend temporarily using the jQuery Development Source Code. Although this doesn't directly solve your problem, it will allow you to debug more easily. For what you're trying to achieve I believe you'll need to step-in to the library, so hopefully the production code should help you decipher what's happening.

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500

This Status Code 500 is an Internal Server Error. This code indicates that a part of the server (for example, a CGI program) has crashed or encountered a configuration error.

i think the problem does'nt lie on your side, but rather on the side of the Http server. the resources you used to access may have been moved or get corrupted, or its configuration just may have altered or spoiled

How to list installed packages from a given repo using yum

On newer versions of yum, this information is stored in the "yumdb" when the package is installed. This is the only 100% accurate way to get the information, and you can use:

yumdb search from_repo repoid

(or repoquery and grep -- don't grep yum output). However the command "find-repos-of-install" was part of yum-utils for a while which did the best guess without that information:

http://james.fedorapeople.org/yum/commands/find-repos-of-install.py

As floyd said, a lot of repos. include a unique "dist" tag in their release, and you can look for that ... however from what you said, I guess that isn't the case for you?

How can I set the current working directory to the directory of the script in Bash?

This script seems to work for me:

#!/bin/bash
mypath=`realpath $0`
cd `dirname $mypath`
pwd

The pwd command line echoes the location of the script as the current working directory no matter where I run it from.

MySQL table is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed

This was my experience resolving this issue. I'm using XAMPP. I was getting the error below

 Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table '.\mysql\db' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed  

This is what I did to resolve it, step by step:

  1. went to location C:\xampp\mysql, For you, location may be different, make sure you are in right file location.
  2. created backup of the data folder as data-old.
  3. copied folder "mysql" from C:\xampp\mysql\backup
  4. pasted it inside C:\xampp\mysql\data\ replacing the old mysql folder.

And it worked. Keep in mind, I have already tried around 10 solutions and they didnt work for me. This solutions may or may not work for you but regardless, make backup of your data folder before you do anything.

Note: I would always opt to resolve this with repair command but in my case, i wasnt able to get mysql started at all and i wasnt able to get myisamchk command to work.

Regardless of what you do, create a periodic backup of your database.

TCP: can two different sockets share a port?

A server socket listens on a single port. All established client connections on that server are associated with that same listening port on the server side of the connection. An established connection is uniquely identified by the combination of client-side and server-side IP/Port pairs. Multiple connections on the same server can share the same server-side IP/Port pair as long as they are associated with different client-side IP/Port pairs, and the server would be able to handle as many clients as available system resources allow it to.

On the client-side, it is common practice for new outbound connections to use a random client-side port, in which case it is possible to run out of available ports if you make a lot of connections in a short amount of time.

How to initialize a list with constructor?

Using a collection initializer

From C# 3, you can use collection initializers to construct a List and populate it using a single expression. The following example constructs a Human and its ContactNumbers:

var human = new Human(1, "Address", "Name") {
    ContactNumbers = new List<ContactNumber>() {
        new ContactNumber(1),
        new ContactNumber(2),
        new ContactNumber(3)
    }
}

Specializing the Human constructor

You can change the constructor of the Human class to provide a way to populate the ContactNumbers property:

public class Human
{
    public Human(int id, string address, string name, IEnumerable<ContactNumber> contactNumbers) : this(id, address, name)
    {
        ContactNumbers = new List<ContactNumber>(contactNumbers);
    }

    public Human(int id, string address, string name, params ContactNumber[] contactNumbers) : this(id, address, name)
    {
        ContactNumbers = new List<ContactNumber>(contactNumbers);
    }
}

// Using the first constructor:
List<ContactNumber> numbers = List<ContactNumber>() {
    new ContactNumber(1),
    new ContactNumber(2),
    new ContactNumber(3)
};

var human = new Human(1, "Address", "Name", numbers);

// Using the second constructor:
var human = new Human(1, "Address", "Name",
    new ContactNumber(1),
    new ContactNumber(2),
    new ContactNumber(3)
);

Bottom line

Which alternative is a best practice? Or at least a good practice? You judge it! IMO, the best practice is to write the program as clearly as possible to anyone who has to read it. Using the collection initializer is a winner for me, in this case. With much less code, it can do almost the same things as the alternatives -- at least, the alternatives I gave...

What does the fpermissive flag do?

The -fpermissive flag causes the compiler to report some things that are actually errors (but are permitted by some compilers) as warnings, to permit code to compile even if it doesn't conform to the language rules. You really should fix the underlying problem. Post the smallest, compilable code sample that demonstrates the problem.

-fpermissive
Downgrade some diagnostics about nonconformant code from errors to warnings. Thus, using -fpermissive will allow some nonconforming code to compile.
