twitter bootstrap 3.0 typeahead ajax example

Here is my step by step experience, inspired by typeahead examples, from a Scala/PlayFramework app we are working on.

In a script LearnerNameTypeAhead.coffee (convertible of course to JS) I have:

$ ->
  learners = new Bloodhound(
    datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace("value")
    queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace
    remote: "/learner/namelike?nameLikeStr=%QUERY"
  )
  learners.initialize()
  $("#firstName").typeahead 
    minLength: 3
    hint: true
    highlight:true
   ,
    name: "learners"
    displayKey: "value"
    source: learners.ttAdapter()

I included the typeahead bundle and my script on the page, and there is a div around my input field as follows:

<script [email protected]("javascripts/typeahead.bundle.js")></script>
<script [email protected]("javascripts/LearnerNameTypeAhead.js") type="text/javascript" ></script>
<div>
  <input name="firstName" id="firstName" class="typeahead" placeholder="First Name" value="@firstName">
</div>

The result is that for each character typed in the input field after the first minLength (3) characters, the page issues a GET request with a URL looking like /learner/namelike?nameLikeStr= plus the currently typed characters. The server code returns a json array of objects containing fields "id" and "value", for example like this:

[ {
    "id": "109",
    "value": "Graham Jones"
  },
  {
    "id": "5833",
    "value": "Hezekiah Jones"
} ]

For play I need something in the routes file:

GET /learner/namelike controllers.Learners.namesLike(nameLikeStr:String)

And finally, I set some of the styling for the dropdown, etc. in a new typeahead.css file which I included in the page's <head> (or accessible .css)

.tt-dropdown-menu {
  width: 252px;
  margin-top: 12px;
  padding: 8px 0;
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  -webkit-border-radius: 8px;
     -moz-border-radius: 8px;
          border-radius: 8px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
     -moz-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
          box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
}
.typeahead {
  background-color: #fff;
}
.typeahead:focus {
  border: 2px solid #0097cf;
}
.tt-query {
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075);
     -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075);
          box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075);
}
.tt-hint {
  color: #999
}
.tt-suggestion {
  padding: 3px 20px;
  font-size: 18px;
  line-height: 24px;
}
.tt-suggestion.tt-cursor {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #0097cf;
}
.tt-suggestion p {
  margin: 0;
}

Read all files in a folder and apply a function to each data frame

On the contrary, I do think working with list makes it easy to automate such things.

Here is one solution (I stored your four dataframes in folder temp/).

filenames <- list.files("temp", pattern="*.csv", full.names=TRUE)
ldf <- lapply(filenames, read.csv)
res <- lapply(ldf, summary)
names(res) <- substr(filenames, 6, 30)

It is important to store the full path for your files (as I did with full.names), otherwise you have to paste the working directory, e.g.

filenames <- list.files("temp", pattern="*.csv")
paste("temp", filenames, sep="/")

will work too. Note that I used substr to extract file names while discarding full path.

You can access your summary tables as follows:

> res$`df4.csv`
       A              B        
 Min.   :0.00   Min.   : 1.00  
 1st Qu.:1.25   1st Qu.: 2.25  
 Median :3.00   Median : 6.00  
 Mean   :3.50   Mean   : 7.00  
 3rd Qu.:5.50   3rd Qu.:10.50  
 Max.   :8.00   Max.   :16.00

If you really want to get individual summary tables, you can extract them afterwards. E.g.,

for (i in 1:length(res))
  assign(paste(paste("df", i, sep=""), "summary", sep="."), res[[i]])

Angular2 RC5: Can't bind to 'Property X' since it isn't a known property of 'Child Component'

C dynamically growing array

As with everything that seems scarier at first than it was later, the best way to get over the initial fear is to immerse yourself into the discomfort of the unknown! It is at times like that which we learn the most, after all.

Unfortunately, there are limitations. While you're still learning to use a function, you shouldn't assume the role of a teacher, for example. I often read answers from those who seemingly don't know how to use realloc (i.e. the currently accepted answer!) telling others how to use it incorrectly, occasionally under the guise that they've omitted error handling, even though this is a common pitfall which needs mention. Here's an answer explaining how to use realloc correctly. Take note that the answer is storing the return value into a different variable in order to perform error checking.

Every time you call a function, and every time you use an array, you are using a pointer. The conversions are occurring implicitly, which if anything should be even scarier, as it's the things we don't see which often cause the most problems. For example, memory leaks...

Array operators are pointer operators. array[x] is really a shortcut for *(array + x), which can be broken down into: * and (array + x). It's most likely that the * is what confuses you. We can further eliminate the addition from the problem by assuming x to be 0, thus, array[0] becomes *array because adding 0 won't change the value...

... and thus we can see that *array is equivalent to array[0]. You can use one where you want to use the other, and vice versa. Array operators are pointer operators.

malloc, realloc and friends don't invent the concept of a pointer which you've been using all along; they merely use this to implement some other feature, which is a different form of storage duration, most suitable when you desire drastic, dynamic changes in size.

It is a shame that the currently accepted answer also goes against the grain of some other very well-founded advice on StackOverflow, and at the same time, misses an opportunity to introduce a little-known feature which shines for exactly this usecase: flexible array members! That's actually a pretty broken answer... :(

When you define your struct, declare your array at the end of the structure, without any upper bound. For example:

struct int_list {
    size_t size;
    int value[];
};

This will allow you to unite your array of int into the same allocation as your count, and having them bound like this can be very handy!

sizeof (struct int_list) will act as though value has a size of 0, so it'll tell you the size of the structure with an empty list. You still need to add to the size passed to realloc to specify the size of your list.

Another handy tip is to remember that realloc(NULL, x) is equivalent to malloc(x), and we can use this to simplify our code. For example:

int push_back(struct int_list **fubar, int value) {
    size_t x = *fubar ? fubar[0]->size : 0
         , y = x + 1;

    if ((x & y) == 0) {
        void *temp = realloc(*fubar, sizeof **fubar
                                   + (x + y) * sizeof fubar[0]->value[0]);
        if (!temp) { return 1; }
        *fubar = temp; // or, if you like, `fubar[0] = temp;`
    }

    fubar[0]->value[x] = value;
    fubar[0]->size = y;
    return 0;
}

struct int_list *array = NULL;

The reason I chose to use struct int_list ** as the first argument may not seem immediately obvious, but if you think about the second argument, any changes made to value from within push_back would not be visible to the function we're calling from, right? The same goes for the first argument, and we need to be able to modify our array, not just here but possibly also in any other function/s we pass it to...

array starts off pointing at nothing; it is an empty list. Initialising it is the same as adding to it. For example:

struct int_list *array = NULL;
if (!push_back(&array, 42)) {
    // success!
}

P.S. Remember to free(array); when you're done with it!

Load More Posts Ajax Button in WordPress

UPDATE 24.04.2016.

I've created tutorial on my page https://madebydenis.com/ajax-load-posts-on-wordpress/ about implementing this on Twenty Sixteen theme, so feel free to check it out :)

EDIT

I've tested this on Twenty Fifteen and it's working, so it should be working for you.

In index.php (assuming that you want to show the posts on the main page, but this should work even if you put it in a page template) I put:

    <div id="ajax-posts" class="row">
        <?php
            $postsPerPage = 3;
            $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'post',
                    'posts_per_page' => $postsPerPage,
                    'cat' => 8
            );

            $loop = new WP_Query($args);

            while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post();
        ?>

         <div class="small-12 large-4 columns">
                <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
         </div>

         <?php
                endwhile;
        wp_reset_postdata();
         ?>
    </div>
    <div id="more_posts">Load More</div>

This will output 3 posts from category 8 (I had posts in that category, so I used it, you can use whatever you want to). You can even query the category you're in with

$cat_id = get_query_var('cat');

This will give you the category id to use in your query. You could put this in your loader (load more div), and pull with jQuery like

<div id="more_posts" data-category="<?php echo $cat_id; ?>">>Load More</div>

And pull the category with

var cat = $('#more_posts').data('category');

But for now, you can leave this out.

Next in functions.php I added

wp_localize_script( 'twentyfifteen-script', 'ajax_posts', array(
    'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ),
    'noposts' => __('No older posts found', 'twentyfifteen'),
));

Right after the existing wp_localize_script. This will load WordPress own admin-ajax.php so that we can use it when we call it in our ajax call.

At the end of the functions.php file I added the function that will load your posts:

function more_post_ajax(){

    $ppp = (isset($_POST["ppp"])) ? $_POST["ppp"] : 3;
    $page = (isset($_POST['pageNumber'])) ? $_POST['pageNumber'] : 0;

    header("Content-Type: text/html");

    $args = array(
        'suppress_filters' => true,
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'posts_per_page' => $ppp,
        'cat' => 8,
        'paged'    => $page,
    );

    $loop = new WP_Query($args);

    $out = '';

    if ($loop -> have_posts()) :  while ($loop -> have_posts()) : $loop -> the_post();
        $out .= '<div class="small-12 large-4 columns">
                <h1>'.get_the_title().'</h1>
                <p>'.get_the_content().'</p>
         </div>';

    endwhile;
    endif;
    wp_reset_postdata();
    die($out);
}

add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_more_post_ajax', 'more_post_ajax');
add_action('wp_ajax_more_post_ajax', 'more_post_ajax');

Here I've added paged key in the array, so that the loop can keep track on what page you are when you load your posts.

If you've added your category in the loader, you'd add:

$cat = (isset($_POST['cat'])) ? $_POST['cat'] : '';

And instead of 8, you'd put $cat. This will be in the $_POST array, and you'll be able to use it in ajax.

Last part is the ajax itself. In functions.js I put inside the $(document).ready(); enviroment

var ppp = 3; // Post per page
var cat = 8;
var pageNumber = 1;


function load_posts(){
    pageNumber++;
    var str = '&cat=' + cat + '&pageNumber=' + pageNumber + '&ppp=' + ppp + '&action=more_post_ajax';
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        dataType: "html",
        url: ajax_posts.ajaxurl,
        data: str,
        success: function(data){
            var $data = $(data);
            if($data.length){
                $("#ajax-posts").append($data);
                $("#more_posts").attr("disabled",false);
            } else{
                $("#more_posts").attr("disabled",true);
            }
        },
        error : function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            $loader.html(jqXHR + " :: " + textStatus + " :: " + errorThrown);
        }

    });
    return false;
}

$("#more_posts").on("click",function(){ // When btn is pressed.
    $("#more_posts").attr("disabled",true); // Disable the button, temp.
    load_posts();
});

Saved it, tested it, and it works :)

Images as proof (don't mind the shoddy styling, it was done quickly). Also post content is gibberish xD

UPDATE

For 'infinite load' instead on click event on the button (just make it invisible, with visibility: hidden;) you can try with

$(window).on('scroll', function () {
    if ($(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height()  >= $(document).height() - 100) {
        load_posts();
    }
});

This should run the load_posts() function when you're 100px from the bottom of the page. In the case of the tutorial on my site you can add a check to see if the posts are loading (to prevent firing of the ajax twice), and you can fire it when the scroll reaches the top of the footer

$(window).on('scroll', function(){
    if($('body').scrollTop()+$(window).height() > $('footer').offset().top){
        if(!($loader.hasClass('post_loading_loader') || $loader.hasClass('post_no_more_posts'))){
                load_posts();
        }
    }
});

Now the only drawback in these cases is that you could never scroll to the value of $(document).height() - 100 or $('footer').offset().top for some reason. If that should happen, just increase the number where the scroll goes to.

You can easily check it by putting console.logs in your code and see in the inspector what they throw out

$(window).on('scroll', function () {
    console.log($(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height());
    console.log($(document).height() - 100);
    if ($(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height()  >= $(document).height() - 100) {
        load_posts();
    }
});

And just adjust accordingly ;)

Hope this helps :) If you have any questions just ask.

Getting around the Max String size in a vba function?

Couldn't you just have another sub that acts as a caller using module level variable(s) for the arguments you want to pass. For example...

Option Explicit
Public strMsg As String

Sub Scheduler()

    strMsg = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
    Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "'Caller'"

End Sub

Sub Caller()

    Call aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa("It Works! " & strMsg)

End Sub

Sub aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(strMessage As String)

    MsgBox strMessage

End Sub

JSON and escaping characters

This is not a bug in either implementation. There is no requirement to escape U+00B0. To quote the RFC:

2.5. Strings

The representation of strings is similar to conventions used in the C family of programming languages. A string begins and ends with quotation marks. All Unicode characters may be placed within the quotation marks except for the characters that must be escaped: quotation mark, reverse solidus, and the control characters (U+0000 through U+001F).

Any character may be escaped.

Escaping everything inflates the size of the data (all code points can be represented in four or fewer bytes in all Unicode transformation formats; whereas encoding them all makes them six or twelve bytes).

It is more likely that you have a text transcoding bug somewhere in your code and escaping everything in the ASCII subset masks the problem. It is a requirement of the JSON spec that all data use a Unicode encoding.

How to add a second x-axis in matplotlib

You can use twiny to create 2 x-axis scales. For Example:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twiny()

a = np.cos(2*np.pi*np.linspace(0, 1, 60.))

ax1.plot(range(60), a)
ax2.plot(range(100), np.ones(100)) # Create a dummy plot
ax2.cla()
plt.show()

What is Java Servlet?

Servlets are Java classes that run certain functions when a website user requests a URL from a server. These functions can complete tasks like saving data to a database, executing logic, and returning information (like JSON data) needed to load a page.

Most Java programs use a main() method that executes code when the program in run. Java servlets contain doGet() and doPost() methods that act just like the main() method. These functions are executed when the user makes a GET or POST request to the URL mapped to that servlet. So the user can load a page for a GET request, or store data from a POST request.

When the user sends a GET or POST request, the server reads the @WebServlet at the top of each servlet class in your directory to decide which servlet class to call. For example, let's say you have a ChatBox class and there's this at the top:

@WebServlet("/chat")
public class ChatBox extends HttpServlet {

When a user requests the /chat URL, your ChatBox class with be executed.

How to solve munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer error in C++

This happens when the pointer passed to free() is not valid or has been modified somehow. I don't really know the details here. The bottom line is that the pointer passed to free() must be the same as returned by malloc(), realloc() and their friends. It's not always easy to spot what the problem is for a novice in their own code or even deeper in a library. In my case, it was a simple case of an undefined (uninitialized) pointer related to branching.

The free() function frees the memory space pointed to by ptr, which must have been returned by a previous call to malloc(), calloc() or realloc(). Otherwise, or if free(ptr) has already been called before, undefined behavior occurs. If ptr is NULL, no operation is performed. GNU 2012-05-10 MALLOC(3)

char *words; // setting this to NULL would have prevented the issue

if (condition) {
    words = malloc( 512 );

    /* calling free sometime later works here */

    free(words)
} else {

    /* do not allocate words in this branch */
}

/* free(words);  -- error here --
*** glibc detected *** ./bin: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xb________ ***/

There are many similar questions here about the related free() and rellocate() functions. Some notable answers providing more details:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x0a03c978 ***
*** glibc detected *** sendip: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x09da25e8 ***
glibc detected, realloc(): invalid pointer

IMHO running everything in a debugger (Valgrind) is not the best option because errors like this are often caused by inept or novice programmers. It's more productive to figure out the issue manually and learn how to avoid it in the future.

How to save a pandas DataFrame table as a png

Is double square brackets [[ ]] preferable over single square brackets [ ] in Bash?

From Which comparator, test, bracket, or double bracket, is fastest? (http://bashcurescancer.com)

The double bracket is a “compound command” where as test and the single bracket are shell built-ins (and in actuality are the same command). Thus, the single bracket and double bracket execute different code.

The test and single bracket are the most portable as they exist as separate and external commands. However, if your using any remotely modern version of BASH, the double bracket is supported.

WPF User Control Parent

The Window.GetWindow(userControl) will return the actual window only after the window was initialized (InitializeComponent() method finished).

This means, that if your user control is initialized together with its window (for instance you put your user control into the window's xaml file), then on the user control's OnInitialized event you will not get the window (it will be null), cause in that case the user control's OnInitialized event fires before the window is initialized.

This also means that if your user control is initialized after its window, then you can get the window already in the user control's constructor.

How to set the value for Radio Buttons When edit?

just add 'checked="checked"' in the correct radio button that you would like it to be default on. As example you could use php quick if notation to add that in:

<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Male" size="17" <?php echo($isMale?'checked="checked"':''); ?>>Male
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Female" size="17" <?php echo($isFemale?'checked="checked"':''); ?>>Female

in this example $isMale & $isFemale is boolean values that you assign based on the value from your database.

Resize external website content to fit iFrame width

What you can do is set specific width and height to your iframe (for example these could be equal to your window dimensions) and then applying a scale transformation to it. The scale value will be the ratio between your window width and the dimension you wanted to set to your iframe.

E.g.

<iframe width="1024" height="768" src="http://www.bbc.com" style="-webkit-transform:scale(0.5);-moz-transform-scale(0.5);"></iframe>

Is it possible to forward-declare a function in Python?

If you don't want to define a function before it's used, and defining it afterwards is impossible, what about defining it in some other module?

Technically you still define it first, but it's clean.

You could create a recursion like the following:

def foo():
    bar()

def bar():
    foo()

Python's functions are anonymous just like values are anonymous, yet they can be bound to a name.

In the above code, foo() does not call a function with the name foo, it calls a function that happens to be bound to the name foo at the point the call is made. It is possible to redefine foo somewhere else, and bar would then call the new function.

Your problem cannot be solved because it's like asking to get a variable which has not been declared.

ImportError: No module named apiclient.discovery

I got this same error when working on a project to parse recent calendar events from Google Calendar.

Using the standard install with pip did not work for me, here is what I did to get the packages I needed.

Go directly to the source, here is a link for the google-api-python-client, but if you need a different language it should not be too different.

https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client

Click on the green "Clone or Download" button near the top left and save it as a zip file. Move the zip to your project folder and extract it there. Then cut all the files from the folder it creates back into the root of your project folder.

Yes, this does clutter your work space, but many compilers have ways to hide files.

After doing this the standard

from googleapiclient import discovery

works great.

Hope this helps.

How to fix "namespace x already contains a definition for x" error? Happened after converting to VS2010

I had a similar problem and resolved it by removing any copies/backups of the .cs file from the directory.

What is “2's Complement”?

Like most explanations I've seen, the ones above are clear about how to work with 2's complement, but don't really explain what they are mathematically. I'll try to do that, for integers at least, and I'll cover some background that's probably familiar first.

Recall how it works for decimal:
2345
is a way of writing
2 × 10³ + 3 × 10² + 4 × 10¹ + 5 × 10⁰.

In the same way, binary is a way of writing numbers using just 0 and 1 following the same general idea, but replacing those 10s above with 2s. Then in binary,
  1111
is a way of writing
  1 × 2³ + 1 × 2² + 1 × 2¹ + 1 × 2⁰
and if you work it out, that turns out to equal 15 (base 10). That's because it is
  8+4+2+1 = 15.

This is all well and good for positive numbers. It even works for negative numbers if you're willing to just stick a minus sign in front of them, as humans do with decimal numbers. That can even be done in computers, sort of, but I haven't seen such a computer since the early 1970's. I'll leave the reasons for a different discussion.

For computers it turns out to be more efficient to use a complement representation for negative numbers. And here's something that is often overlooked. Complement notations involve some kind of reversal of the digits of the number, even the implied zeroes that come before a normal positive number. That's awkward, because the question arises: all of them? That could be an infinite number of digits to be considered.

Fortunately, computers don't represent infinities. Numbers are constrained to a particular length (or width, if you prefer). So let's return to positive binary numbers, but with a particular size. I'll use 8 digits ("bits") for these examples. So our binary number would really be
00001111
or
0 × 2⁷ + 0 × 2⁶ + 0 × 2⁵ + 0 × 2⁴ + 1 × 2³ + 1 × 2² + 1 × 2¹ + 1 × 2⁰

To form the 2's complement negative, we first complement all the (binary) digits to form
11110000
and add 1 to form
11110001
but how are we to understand that to mean -15?

The answer is that we change the meaning of the high-order bit (the leftmost one). This bit will be a 1 for all negative numbers. The change will be to change the sign of its contribution to the value of the number it appears in. So now our 11110001 is understood to represent
-1 × 2⁷ + 1 × 2⁶ + 1 × 2⁵ + 1 × 2⁴ + 0 × 2³ + 0 × 2² + 0 × 2¹ + 1 × 2⁰
Notice that "-" in front of that expression? It means that the sign bit carries the weight -2⁷, that is -128 (base 10). All the other positions retain the same weight they had in unsigned binary numbers.

Working out our -15, it is
-128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 1
Try it on your calculator. it's -15.

Of the three main ways that I've seen negative numbers represented in computers, 2's complement wins hands down for convenience in general use. It has an oddity, though. Since it's binary, there have to be an even number of possible bit combinations. Each positive number can be paired with its negative, but there's only one zero. Negating a zero gets you zero. So there's one more combination, the number with 1 in the sign bit and 0 everywhere else. The corresponding positive number would not fit in the number of bits being used.

What's even more odd about this number is that if you try to form its positive by complementing and adding one, you get the same negative number back. It seems natural that zero would do this, but this is unexpected and not at all the behavior we're used to because computers aside, we generally think of an unlimited supply of digits, not this fixed-length arithmetic.

This is like the tip of an iceberg of oddities. There's more lying in wait below the surface, but that's enough for this discussion. You could probably find more if you research "overflow" for fixed-point arithmetic. If you really want to get into it, you might also research "modular arithmetic".

How do I calculate a point on a circle’s circumference?

Calculating point around circumference of circle given distance travelled.
For comparison... This may be useful in Game AI when moving around a solid object in a direct path.

    var theta = (distanceToMove / radius) * (clockDirection == ClockDirection.Clockwise ? 1 : -1);
    var destinationX = circleOriginX + (startingPointX - circleOriginX) * Math.Cos(theta) - (startingPointY - circleOriginY) * Math.Sin(theta);
    var destinationY = circleOriginY + (startingPointX - circleOriginX) * Math.Sin(theta) + (startingPointY - circleOriginY) * Math.Cos(theta);

    // Round to avoid integer conversion truncation
    return new Point((Int32)Math.Round(destinationX), (Int32)Math.Round(destinationY));

Adb Devices can't find my phone

I did the following to get my Mac to see the devices again:

Run android update adb
Run adb kill-server
Run adb start-server

At this point, calling adb devices started returning devices again. Now run or debug your project to test it on your device.

Row Offset in SQL Server

I use this technique for pagination. I do not fetch all the rows. For example, if my page needs to display the top 100 rows I fetch only the 100 with where clause. The output of the SQL should have a unique key.

The table has the following:

ID, KeyId, Rank

The same rank will be assigned for more than one KeyId.

SQL is select top 2 * from Table1 where Rank >= @Rank and ID > @Id

For the first time I pass 0 for both. The second time pass 1 & 14. 3rd time pass 2 and 6....

The value of the 10th record Rank & Id is passed to the next

This will have the least stress on the system

Ignore self-signed ssl cert using Jersey Client

After some searching and trawling through some old stackoverflow questions I've found a solution in a previously asked SO question:

Question: Java client certificates over HTTPS/SSL
Answer Java client certificates over HTTPS/SSL

Here's the code that I ended up using.

// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{new X509TrustManager(){
    public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers(){return null;}
    public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType){}
    public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType){}
}};

// Install the all-trusting trust manager

How can I create an array with key value pairs?

You can use this function in your application to add keys to indexed array.

public static function convertIndexedArrayToAssociative($indexedArr, $keys)
{
    $resArr = array();
    foreach ($indexedArr as $item)
    {
        $tmpArr = array();
        foreach ($item as $key=>$value)
        {
            $tmpArr[$keys[$key]] = $value;
        }
        $resArr[] = $tmpArr;
    }
    return $resArr;
}

JQuery to load Javascript file dynamically

I realize I am a little late here, (5 years or so), but I think there is a better answer than the accepted one as follows:

$("#addComment").click(function() {
    if(typeof TinyMCE === "undefined") {
        $.ajax({
            url: "tinymce.js",
            dataType: "script",
            cache: true,
            success: function() {
                TinyMCE.init();
            }
        });
    }
});

The getScript() function actually prevents browser caching. If you run a trace you will see the script is loaded with a URL that includes a timestamp parameter:

http://www.yoursite.com/js/tinymce.js?_=1399055841840

If a user clicks the #addComment link multiple times, tinymce.js will be re-loaded from a differently timestampped URL. This defeats the purpose of browser caching.

===

Alternatively, in the getScript() documentation there is a some sample code that demonstrates how to enable caching by creating a custom cachedScript() function as follows:

jQuery.cachedScript = function( url, options ) {

    // Allow user to set any option except for dataType, cache, and url
    options = $.extend( options || {}, {
        dataType: "script",
        cache: true,
        url: url
    });

    // Use $.ajax() since it is more flexible than $.getScript
    // Return the jqXHR object so we can chain callbacks
    return jQuery.ajax( options );
};

// Usage
$.cachedScript( "ajax/test.js" ).done(function( script, textStatus ) {
    console.log( textStatus );
});

===

Or, if you want to disable caching globally, you can do so using ajaxSetup() as follows:

$.ajaxSetup({
    cache: true
});

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'demoRestController'

Your DemoApplication class is in the com.ag.digital.demo.boot package and your LoginBean class is in the com.ag.digital.demo.bean package. By default components (classes annotated with @Component) are found if they are in the same package or a sub-package of your main application class DemoApplication. This means that LoginBean isn't being found so dependency injection fails.

There are a couple of ways to solve your problem:

Move LoginBean into com.ag.digital.demo.boot or a sub-package.
Configure the packages that are scanned for components using the scanBasePackages attribute of @SpringBootApplication that should be on DemoApplication.

A few of other things that aren't causing a problem, but are not quite right with the code you've posted:

@Service is a specialisation of @Component so you don't need both on LoginBean
Similarly, @RestController is a specialisation of @Component so you don't need both on DemoRestController
DemoRestController is an unusual place for @EnableAutoConfiguration. That annotation is typically found on your main application class (DemoApplication) either directly or via @SpringBootApplication which is a combination of @ComponentScan, @Configuration, and @EnableAutoConfiguration.

Single Line Nested For Loops

First of all, your first code doesn't use a for loop per se, but a list comprehension.

Would be equivalent to

for j in range(0, width): for i in range(0, height): m[i][j]
Much the same way, it generally nests like for loops, right to left. But list comprehension syntax is more complex.
I'm not sure what this question is asking

Any iterable object that yields iterable objects that yield exactly two objects (what a mouthful - i.e [(1,2),'ab'] would be valid )
The order in which the object yields upon iteration. i goes to the first yield, j the second.
Yes, but not as pretty. I believe it is functionally equivalent to:
```
l = list()
for i,j in object:
    l.append(function(i,j))
```
or even better use map:
```
map(function, object)
```
But of course function would have to get i, j itself.
Isn't this the same question as 3?

Setting width to wrap_content for TextView through code

Solution for change TextView width to wrap content.

textView.getLayoutParams().width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT; 
textView.requestLayout();  
// Call requestLayout() for redraw your TextView when your TextView is already drawn (laid out) (eg: you update TextView width when click a Button). 
// If your TextView is drawing you may not need requestLayout() (eg: you change TextView width inside onCreate()). However if you call it, it still working well => for easy: always use requestLayout()

// Another useful example
// textView.getLayoutParams().width = 200; // For change `TextView` width to 200 pixel

jQuery - multiple $(document).ready ...?

It is important to note that each jQuery() call must actually return. If an exception is thrown in one, subsequent (unrelated) calls will never be executed.

This applies regardless of syntax. You can use jQuery(), jQuery(function() {}), $(document).ready(), whatever you like, the behavior is the same. If an early one fails, subsequent blocks will never be run.

This was a problem for me when using 3rd-party libraries. One library was throwing an exception, and subsequent libraries never initialized anything.

How to remove a key from Hash and get the remaining hash in Ruby/Rails?

Instead of monkey patching or needlessly including large libraries, you can use refinements if you are using Ruby 2:

module HashExtensions
  refine Hash do
    def except!(*candidates)
      candidates.each { |candidate| delete(candidate) }
      self
    end

    def except(*candidates)
      dup.remove!(candidates)
    end
  end
end

You can use this feature without affecting other parts of your program, or having to include large external libraries.

class FabulousCode
  using HashExtensions

  def incredible_stuff
    delightful_hash.except(:not_fabulous_key)
  end
end

How to create an installer for a .net Windows Service using Visual Studio

In the service project do the following:

In the solution explorer double click your services .cs file. It should bring up a screen that is all gray and talks about dragging stuff from the toolbox.
Then right click on the gray area and select add installer. This will add an installer project file to your project.
Then you will have 2 components on the design view of the ProjectInstaller.cs (serviceProcessInstaller1 and serviceInstaller1). You should then setup the properties as you need such as service name and user that it should run as.

Now you need to make a setup project. The best thing to do is use the setup wizard.

Right click on your solution and add a new project: Add > New Project > Setup and Deployment Projects > Setup Wizard

a. This could vary slightly for different versions of Visual Studio. b. Visual Studio 2010 it is located in: Install Templates > Other Project Types > Setup and Deployment > Visual Studio Installer
On the second step select "Create a Setup for a Windows Application."
On the 3rd step, select "Primary output from..."
Click through to Finish.

Next edit your installer to make sure the correct output is included.

Right click on the setup project in your Solution Explorer.
Select View > Custom Actions. (In VS2008 it might be View > Editor > Custom Actions)
Right-click on the Install action in the Custom Actions tree and select 'Add Custom Action...'
In the "Select Item in Project" dialog, select Application Folder and click OK.
Click OK to select "Primary output from..." option. A new node should be created.
Repeat steps 4 - 5 for commit, rollback and uninstall actions.

You can edit the installer output name by right clicking the Installer project in your solution and select Properties. Change the 'Output file name:' to whatever you want. By selecting the installer project as well and looking at the properties windows, you can edit the Product Name, Title, Manufacturer, etc...

Next build your installer and it will produce an MSI and a setup.exe. Choose whichever you want to use to deploy your service.

How to get SLF4J "Hello World" working with log4j?

I had the same problem. I called my own custom logger in the log4j.properties file from code when using log4j api directly. If you are using the slf4j api calls, you are probably using the default root logger so you must configure that to be associated with an appender in the log4j.properties:


    # Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to A1.
    log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1

    # A1 is set to be a ConsoleAppender.
    log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

Using an array as needles in strpos

You can also try using strpbrk() for the negation (none of the letters have been found):

$find_letters = array('a', 'c', 'd');
$string = 'abcdefg';

if(strpbrk($string, implode($find_letters)) === false)
{
    echo 'None of these letters are found in the string!';
}

How to get the Power of some Integer in Swift language?

mklbtz is correct about exponentiation by squaring being the standard algorithm for computing integer powers, but the tail-recursive implementation of the algorithm seems a bit confusing. See http://www.programminglogic.com/fast-exponentiation-algorithms/ for a non-recursive implementation of exponentiation by squaring in C. I've attempted to translate it to Swift here:

func expo(_ base: Int, _ power: Int) -> Int {
    var result = 1

    while (power != 0){
        if (power%2 == 1){
            result *= base
        }
        power /= 2
        base *= base
    }
    return result
}

Of course, this could be fancied up by creating an overloaded operator to call it and it could be re-written to make it more generic so it worked on anything that implemented the IntegerType protocol. To make it generic, I'd probably start with something like

    func expo<T:IntegerType>(_ base: T, _ power: T) -> T {
    var result : T = 1

But, that is probably getting carried away.

How to restart Postgresql

Try this as root (maybe you can use sudo or su):

/etc/init.d/postgresql restart

Without any argument the script also gives you a hint on how to restart a specific version

[Uqbar@Feynman ~] /etc/init.d/postgresql
Usage: /etc/init.d/postgresql {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status} [version ...]

Similarly, in case you have it, you can also use the service tool:

[Uqbar@Feynman ~] service postgresql
Usage: /etc/init.d/postgresql {start|stop|restart|reload|force reload|status} [version ...]

Please, pay attention to the optional [version ...] trailing argument. That's meant to allow you, the user, to act on a specific version, in case you were running multiple ones. So you can restart version X while keeping version Y and Z untouched and running.

Finally, in case you are running systemd, then you can use systemctl like this:

[support@Feynman ~] systemctl status postgresql
? postgresql.service - PostgreSQL database server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2017-11-14 12:33:35 CET; 7min ago
...

You can replace status with stop, start or restart as well as other actions. Please refer to the documentation for full details. In order to operate on multiple concurrent versions, the syntax is slightly different. For example to stop v12 and reload v13 you can run:

systemctl stop postgresql-12.service
systemctl reload postgresql-13.service

Thanks to @Jojo for pointing me to this very one. Finally Keep in mind that root permissions may be needed for non-informative tasks as in the other cases seen earlier.

C# how to convert File.ReadLines into string array?

File.ReadLines() returns an object of type System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<String>
File.ReadAllLines() returns an array of strings.

If you want to use an array of strings you need to call the correct function.

You could use Jim solution, just use ReadAllLines() or you could change your return type.

This would also work:

System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<String> lines = File.ReadLines("c:\\file.txt");

You can use any generic collection which implements IEnumerable. IList for an example.

iOS 8 UITableView separator inset 0 not working

Instead of updating preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins and layoutMargins every time the cell scrolls in (using willDisplayCell), I'd suggest to do it once in cellForRowAtIndexPath::

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)

    cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
    cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero

    return cell

}

hibernate could not get next sequence value

For anyone using FluentNHibernate (my version is 2.1.2), it's just as repetitive but this works:

public class UserMap : ClassMap<User>
{
    public UserMap()
    {
        Table("users");
        Id(x => x.Id).Column("id").GeneratedBy.SequenceIdentity("users_id_seq");

Deserialize Java 8 LocalDateTime with JacksonMapper

There are two problems with your code:

1. Use of wrong type

LocalDateTime does not support timezone. Given below is an overview of java.time types and you can see that the type which matches with your date-time string, 2016-12-01T23:00:00+00:00 is OffsetDateTime because it has a zone offset of +00:00.

Change your declaration as follows:

private OffsetDateTime startDate;

2. Use of wrong format

There are two problems with the format:

You need to use y (year-of-era ) instead of Y (week-based-year). Check this discussion to learn more about it. In fact, I recommend you use u (year) instead of y (year-of-era ). Check this answer for more details on it.
You need to use XXX or ZZZZZ for the offset part i.e. your format should be uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:m:ssXXX.

Check the documentation page of DateTimeFormatter for more details about these symbols/formats.

Demo:

import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String strDateTime = "2019-10-21T13:00:00+02:00";
        DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:m:ssXXX");
        OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse(strDateTime, dtf);
        System.out.println(odt);
    }
}

Output:

2019-10-21T13:00+02:00

how to redirect to external url from c# controller

If you are using MVC then it would be more appropriate to use RedirectResult instead of using Response.Redirect.

public ActionResult Index() {
        return new RedirectResult("http://www.website.com");
    }

How to add an object to an array

Performance

Today 2020.12.04 I perform tests on MacOs HighSierra 10.13.6 on Chrome v86, Safari v13.1.2 and Firefox v83 for chosen solutions.

Results

For all browsers

in-place solution based on length (B) is fastest for small arrays, and in Firefox for big too and for Chrome and Safari is fast
in-place solution based on push (A) is fastest for big arrays on Chrome and Safari, and fast for Firefox and small arrays
in-place solution C is slow for big arrays and medium fast for small
non-in-place solutions D and E are slow for big arrays
non-in-place solutions E,F and D(on Firefox) are slow for small arrays

Details

I perform 2 tests cases:

for small array with 10 elements - you can run it HERE
for big array with 1M elements - you can run it HERE

Below snippet presents differences between solutions A, B, C, D, E, F

Using BeautifulSoup to extract text without tags

I think you could solve this with .strip() in gazpacho:

Input:

html = """\
<p>
  <strong class="offender">YOB:</strong> 1987<br />
  <strong class="offender">RACE:</strong> WHITE<br />
  <strong class="offender">GENDER:</strong> FEMALE<br />
  <strong class="offender">HEIGHT:</strong> 5'05''<br />
  <strong class="offender">WEIGHT:</strong> 118<br />
  <strong class="offender">EYE COLOR:</strong> GREEN<br />
  <strong class="offender">HAIR COLOR:</strong> BROWN<br />
</p>
"""

Code:

soup = Soup(html)
text = soup.find("p").strip(whitespace=False) # to keep \n characters intact
lines = [
    line.strip()
    for line in text.split("\n")
    if line != ""
]
data = dict([line.split(": ") for line in lines])

Output:

print(data)
# {'YOB': '1987',
#  'RACE': 'WHITE',
#  'GENDER': 'FEMALE',
#  'HEIGHT': "5'05''",
#  'WEIGHT': '118',
#  'EYE COLOR': 'GREEN',
#  'HAIR COLOR': 'BROWN'}

How to sum all the values in a dictionary?

USE sum() TO SUM THE VALUES IN A DICTIONARY.

Call dict.values() to return the values of a dictionary dict. Use sum(values) to return the sum of the values from the previous step.

d = {'key1':1,'key2':14,'key3':47}
values = d.values()
#Return values of a dictionary    
total = sum(values)
print(total)

How to write asynchronous functions for Node.js

Try this, it works for both node and the browser.

isNode = (typeof exports !== 'undefined') &&
(typeof module !== 'undefined') &&
(typeof module.exports !== 'undefined') &&
(typeof navigator === 'undefined' || typeof navigator.appName === 'undefined') ? true : false,
asyncIt = (isNode ? function (func) {
  process.nextTick(function () {
    func();
  });
} : function (func) {
  setTimeout(func, 5);
});

LINQ Inner-Join vs Left-Join

Here's a good blog post that's just been posted by Fabrice (author of LINQ in Action) which covers the material in the question that I asked. I'm putting it here for reference as readers of the question will find this useful.

Converting LINQ queries from query syntax to method/operator syntax

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host - WCF

The issue I had was also with serialization. The cause was some of my DTO/business classes and properties were renamed or deleted without updating the service reference. I'm surprised I didn't get a contract filter mismatch error instead. But updating the service ref fixed the error for me (same error as OP).

Reload the page after ajax success

BrixenDK is right.

.ajaxStop() callback executed when all ajax call completed. This is a best place to put your handler.

$(document).ajaxStop(function(){
    window.location.reload();
});

concatenate char array in C

You can concatenate strings by using the sprintf() function. In your case, for example:

char file[80];
sprintf(file,"%s%s",name,extension);

And you'll end having the concatenated string in "file".

Delete forked repo from GitHub

By far the easiest way is to log in GitHub account:

Click to your repository for example yourUsername/yourRepository for example mbaric/zpropertyz.
Then in the main toolbar of GitHub click on Settings
Scroll to the bottom of the page to the section called Danger Zone and you will find Delete this repository button
When you click it another pop up will appear here you need to type in your Github username and the name of your repository in this format gitHubUsername/nameOfTheRepository and click on the button below which says: I understand the consequences, delete the repository
If you are having trouble doing it, below are the images that can be checked…

Access Control Request Headers, is added to header in AJAX request with jQuery

Try to use the rack-cors gem. And add the header field in your Ajax call.

Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity?

For Multiple Instance of the same activity , use the following snippet,

Note : This snippet, I am using outside of my Activity. Make sure your AndroidManifest file doesn't contain android:launchMode="singleTop|singleInstance". if needed, you can change it to android:launchMode="standard".

Intent i = new Intent().setClass(mActivity.getApplication(), TestUserProfileScreenActivity.class);  
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK);

// Launch the new activity and add the additional flags to the intent
mActivity.getApplication().startActivity(i);

This works fine for me. Hope, this saves times for someone. If anybody finds a better way, please share with us.

How do you add UI inside cells in a google spreadsheet using app script?

Status 2018:

There seems to be no way to place buttons (drawings, images) within cells in a way that would allow them to be linked to Apps Script functions.

This being said, there are some things that you can indeed do:

You can...

You can place images within cells using IMAGE(URL), but they cannot be linked to Apps Script functions.

You can place images within cells and link them to URLs using:
=HYPERLINK("http://example.com"; IMAGE("http://example.com/myimage.png"; 1))

You can create drawings as described in the answer of @Eduardo and they can be linked to Apps Script functions, but they will be stand-alone items that float freely "above" the spreadsheet and cannot be positioned in cells. They cannot be copied from cell to cell and they do not have a row or col position that the script function could read.

check if jquery has been loaded, then load it if false

Avoid using "if (!jQuery)" since IE will return the error: jQuery is 'undefined'

Instead use: if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined')

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.type = "text/javascript";
    script.src = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js";
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
}
</script>

You'll also need to check if the JQuery has loaded after appending it to the header. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the window.onload event, which is slower if the page has images. Here's a sample script which checks if the JQuery file has loaded, since you won't have the convenience of being able to use $(document).ready(function...

Program to find prime numbers

static void Main(string[] args)
    {  int i,j;
        Console.WriteLine("prime no between 1 to 100");
    for (i = 2; i <= 100; i++)
    {
        int count = 0;
        for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
        {

            if (i % j == 0)
            { count=count+1; }
        }

        if ( count <= 2)
        { Console.WriteLine(i); }


    }
    Console.ReadKey();

No converter found capable of converting from type to type

Turns out, when the table name is different than the model name, you have to change the annotations to:

@Entity
@Table(name = "table_name")
class WhateverNameYouWant {
    ...

Instead of simply using the @Entity annotation.

What was weird for me, is that the class it was trying to convert to didn't exist. This worked for me.

Change text from "Submit" on input tag

The value attribute is used to determine the rendered label of a submit input.

<input type="submit" class="like" value="Like" />

Note that if the control is successful (this one won't be as it has no name) this will also be the submitted value for it.

To have a different submitted value and label you need to use a button element, in which the textNode inside the element determines the label. You can include other elements (including <img> here).

<button type="submit" class="like" name="foo" value="bar">Like</button>

Note that support for <button> is dodgy in older versions of Internet Explorer.

How to import an existing X.509 certificate and private key in Java keystore to use in SSL?

Using Let's Encrypt certificates

Assuming you've created your certificates and private keys with Let's Encrypt in /etc/letsencrypt/live/you.com:

1. Create a PKCS #12 file

openssl pkcs12 -export -in fullchain.pem -inkey privkey.pem -out pkcs.p12 \
        -name letsencrypt

This combines your SSL certificate fullchain.pem and your private key privkey.pem into a single file, pkcs.p12.

You'll be prompted for a password for pkcs.p12.

The export option specifies that a PKCS #12 file will be created rather than parsed (according to the manual).

2. Create the Java keystore

keytool -importkeystore -destkeystore keystore.jks -srckeystore pkcs.p12 \
        -srcstoretype PKCS12 -alias letsencrypt

If keystore.jks doesn't exist, it will be created containing the pkcs.12 file created above. Otherwise, you'll import pkcs.12 into the existing keystore.

These instructions are derived from the post "Create a Java Keystore (.JKS) from Let's Encrypt Certificates" on this blog.

Here's more on the different kind of files in /etc/letsencrypt/live/you.com/.

Setting values of input fields with Angular 6

You should use the following:

       <td><input id="priceInput-{{orderLine.id}}" type="number" [(ngModel)]="orderLine.price"></td>

You will need to add the FormsModule to your app.module in the inputs section as follows:

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    ...
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule
  ],
  ..

The use of the brackets around the ngModel are as follows:

The [] show that it is taking an input from your TS file. This input should be a public member variable. A one way binding from TS to HTML.
The () show that it is taking output from your HTML file to a variable in the TS file. A one way binding from HTML to TS.
The [()] are both (e.g. a two way binding)

See here for more information: https://angular.io/guide/template-syntax

I would also suggest replacing id="priceInput-{{orderLine.id}}" with something like this [id]="getElementId(orderLine)" where getElementId(orderLine) returns the element Id in the TS file and can be used anywere you need to reference the element (to avoid simple bugs like calling it priceInput1 in one place and priceInput-1 in another. (if you still need to access the input by it's Id somewhere else)

How to while loop until the end of a file in Python without checking for empty line?

I discovered while following the above suggestions that for line in f: does not work for a pandas dataframe (not that anyone said it would) because the end of file in a dataframe is the last column, not the last row. for example if you have a data frame with 3 fields (columns) and 9 records (rows), the for loop will stop after the 3rd iteration, not after the 9th iteration.

How can I use nohup to run process as a background process in linux?

chmod u+rwx yourscript

finally

nohup ./yourscript &

How do I extract Month and Year in a MySQL date and compare them?

There should also be a YEAR().

As for comparing, you could compare dates that are the first days of those years and months, or you could convert the year/month pair into a number suitable for comparison (i.e. bigger = later). (Exercise left to the reader. For hints, read about the ISO date format.)

Or you could use multiple comparisons (i.e. years first, then months).

Syntax for a single-line Bash infinite while loop

I like to use the semicolons only for the WHILE statement, and the && operator to make the loop do more than one thing...

How to break out from a ruby block?

If you want your block to return a useful value (e.g. when using #map, #inject, etc.), next and break also accept an argument.

Consider the following:

def contrived_example(numbers)
  numbers.inject(0) do |count, x|
    if x % 3 == 0
      count + 2
    elsif x.odd?
      count + 1
    else 
      count
    end
  end
end

The equivalent using next:

def contrived_example(numbers)
  numbers.inject(0) do |count, x|
    next count if x.even?
    next (count + 2) if x % 3 == 0
    count + 1
  end
end

Of course, you could always extract the logic needed into a method and call that from inside your block:

def contrived_example(numbers)
  numbers.inject(0) { |count, x| count + extracted_logic(x) }
end

def extracted_logic(x)
  return 0 if x.even?
  return 2 if x % 3 == 0
  1
end

How to format a UTC date as a `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss` string using NodeJS?

I needed a simple formatting library without the bells and whistles of locale and language support. So I modified

and used it. See https://github.com/adgang/atom-time/blob/master/lib/dateformat.js

The documentation is pretty clear.

Maven Error: Could not find or load main class

For me the problem was nothing to do with Maven but to do with how I was running the .jar. I wrote some code and packaged it as a .jar with Maven. I ran it with

java target/gs-maven-0.1.0.jar

and got the error in the OP. Actually you need the -jar option:

java -jar target/gs-maven-0.1.0.jar

Assign one struct to another in C

Did you mean "Complex" as in complex number with real and imaginary parts? This seems unlikely, so if not you'd have to give an example since "complex" means nothing specific in terms of the C language.

You will get a direct memory copy of the structure; whether that is what you want depends on the structure. For example if the structure contains a pointer, both copies will point to the same data. This may or may not be what you want; that is down to your program design.

To perform a 'smart' copy (or a 'deep' copy), you will need to implement a function to perform the copy. This can be very difficult to achieve if the structure itself contains pointers and structures that also contain pointers, and perhaps pointers to such structures (perhaps that's what you mean by "complex"), and it is hard to maintain. The simple solution is to use C++ and implement copy constructors and assignment operators for each structure or class, then each one becomes responsible for its own copy semantics, you can use assignment syntax, and it is more easily maintained.

How to fix 'Notice: Undefined index:' in PHP form action

How do you tell if a string contains another string in POSIX sh?

In special cases where you want to find whether a word is contained in a long text, you can iterate through the long text with a loop.

found=F
query_word=this
long_string="many many words in this text"
for w in $long_string; do
    if [ "$w" = "$query_word" ]; then
          found=T
          break
    fi
done

This is pure Bourne shell.

Extract a substring from a string in Ruby using a regular expression

Here's a slightly more flexible approach using the match method. With this, you can extract more than one string:

s = "<ants> <pants>"
matchdata = s.match(/<([^>]*)> <([^>]*)>/)

# Use 'captures' to get an array of the captures
matchdata.captures   # ["ants","pants"]

# Or use raw indices
matchdata[0]   # whole regex match: "<ants> <pants>"
matchdata[1]   # first capture: "ants"
matchdata[2]   # second capture: "pants"

m2\repository\org\projectlombok\lombok\1.18.12\lombok-1.18.12

Also, if Lombok could not find the IDE, manually specify the .exe of your IDE and click install.

Restart your IDE.

That's it.

If you face any problem,

Below is a beautiful and short video about how to install the plugin of Lombok.

Just to save your time, you can start from 1:40.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K6NNX-GGDI

If it still doesn't work,

Verify that lombok.jar is there in your sts.ini file (sts config file, present in sts folder.)

-javaagent:lombok.jar

Do an Alt+F5. This will update your maven.

Close your IDE and again start it.

Change class on mouseover in directive

In general I fully agree with Jason's use of css selector, but in some cases you may not want to change the css, e.g. when using a 3rd party css-template, and rather prefer to add/remove a class on the element.

The following sample shows a simple way of adding/removing a class on ng-mouseenter/mouseleave:

<div ng-app>
  <div 
    class="italic" 
    ng-class="{red: hover}"
    ng-init="hover = false"
    ng-mouseenter="hover = true"
    ng-mouseleave="hover = false">
      Test 1 2 3.
  </div>
</div>

with some styling:

.red {
  background-color: red;
}

.italic {
  font-style: italic;
  color: black;
}

See running example here: jsfiddle sample

Styling on hovering is a view concern. Although the solution above sets a "hover" property in the current scope, the controller does not need to be concerned about this.

In Chart.js set chart title, name of x axis and y axis?

          <Scatter
            data={data}
            // style={{ width: "50%", height: "50%" }}
            options={{
              scales: {
                yAxes: [
                  {
                    scaleLabel: {
                      display: true,
                      labelString: "Probability",
                    },
                  },
                ],
                xAxes: [
                  {
                    scaleLabel: {
                      display: true,
                      labelString: "Hours",
                    },
                  },
                ],
              },
            }}
          />

Passing arguments to JavaScript function from code-behind

Some other things I found out:

You can't directly pass in an array like:

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "xx",   
"<script>test("+x+","+y+");</script>");

because that calls the ToString() methods of x and y, which returns "System.Int32[]", and obviously Javascript can't use that. I had to pass in the arrays as strings, like "[1,2,3,4,5]", so I wrote a helper method to do the conversion.

Also, there is a difference between this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript() and this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock() - the former places the script at the bottom of the page, which I need in order to be able to access the controls (like with document.getElementByID). RegisterClientScriptBlock() is executed before the tags are rendered, so I actually get a Javascript error if I use that method.

http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/Manipulating-ASP-NET-Pages-and-Server-Controls-with-JavaScript.id-310803.html covers the difference between the two pretty well.

Here's the complete example I came up with:

// code behind
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int[] x = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int[] y = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

    string xStr = getArrayString(x); // converts {1,2,3,4,5} to [1,2,3,4,5]
    string yStr = getArrayString(y);

    string script = String.Format("test({0},{1})", xStr, yStr);
    this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(),
    "testFunction", script, true);
    //this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),
    //"testFunction", script, true); // different result
}
private string getArrayString(int[] array)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
    {
        sb.Append(array[i] + ",");
    }
    string arrayStr = string.Format("[{0}]", sb.ToString().TrimEnd(','));
    return arrayStr;
}

//aspx page
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function test(x, y)
    {
        var text1 = document.getElementById("text1")
        for(var i = 0; i<x.length; i++)
        {
            text1.innerText += x[i]; // prints 12345
        }
        text1.innerText += "\ny: " + y; // prints y: 1,2,3,4,5

    }

    </script>

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

Since you now specified you want to add to it, what you want isn't a simple IEnumerable<T> but at least an ICollection<T>. I recommend simply using a List<T> like this:

List<object> myList=new List<object>();
myList.Add(1);
myList.Add(2);
myList.Add(3);

You can use myList everywhere an IEnumerable<object> is expected, since List<object> implements IEnumerable<object>.

(old answer before clarification)

You can't create an instance of IEnumerable<T> since it's a normal interface(It's sometimes possible to specify a default implementation, but that's usually used only with COM).

So what you really want is instantiate a class that implements the interface IEnumerable<T>. The behavior varies depending on which class you choose.

For an empty sequence use:

IEnumerable<object> e0=Enumerable.Empty<object>();

For an non empty enumerable you can use some collection that implements IEnumerable<T>. Common choices are the array T[], List<T> or if you want immutability ReadOnlyCollection<T>.

IEnumerable<object> e1=new object[]{1,2,3};
IEnumerable<object> e2=new List<object>(){1,2,3};
IEnumerable<object> e3=new ReadOnlyCollection(new object[]{1,2,3});

Another common way to implement IEnumerable<T> is the iterator feature introduced in C# 3:

IEnumerable<object> MyIterator()
{
  yield return 1;
  yield return 2;
  yield return 3;
}

IEnumerable<object> e4=MyIterator();

How can I change UIButton title color?

You can use -[UIButton setTitleColor:forState:] to do this.

Example:

Objective-C

[buttonName setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Swift 2

buttonName.setTitleColor(UIColor.blackColor(), forState: .Normal)

Swift 3

buttonName.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)

Gcc error: gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory

Explanation

The error message told us, that the build-time dependency (in this case it is cc1) was not found, so all we need — install the appropriate package to the system (using package manager // from sources // another way)

What is cc1:

cc1 is the internal command which takes preprocessed C-language files and converts them to assembly. It's the actual part that compiles C. For C++, there's cc1plus, and other internal commands for different languages.

Python: What OS am I running on?

You can also use only platform module without importing os module to get all the information.

>>> import platform
>>> platform.os.name
'posix'
>>> platform.uname()
('Darwin', 'mainframe.local', '15.3.0', 'Darwin Kernel Version 15.3.0: Thu Dec 10 18:40:58 PST 2015; root:xnu-3248.30.4~1/RELEASE_X86_64', 'x86_64', 'i386')

A nice and tidy layout for reporting purpose can be achieved using this line:

for i in zip(['system','node','release','version','machine','processor'],platform.uname()):print i[0],':',i[1]

That gives this output:

system : Darwin
node : mainframe.local
release : 15.3.0
version : Darwin Kernel Version 15.3.0: Thu Dec 10 18:40:58 PST 2015; root:xnu-3248.30.4~1/RELEASE_X86_64
machine : x86_64
processor : i386

What is missing usually is the operating system version but you should know if you are running windows, linux or mac a platform indipendent way is to use this test:

In []: for i in [platform.linux_distribution(),platform.mac_ver(),platform.win32_ver()]:
   ....:     if i[0]:
   ....:         print 'Version: ',i[0]

Why should I use an IDE?

A very good reason for using IDEs is that they are the accepted way of producing modern software. If you do not use one, then you likely use "old fashioned" stuff like vi and emacs. This can lead people to conclude - possibly wrongly - that you are stuck in your ways and unable to adapt to new ways of working. In an industry such as software development - where ideas can be out of date in mere months - this is a dangerous state to get into. It could seriously damage your future job prospects...

How can I divide two integers stored in variables in Python?

The 1./2 syntax works because 1. is a float. It's the same as 1.0. The dot isn't a special operator that makes something a float. So, you need to either turn one (or both) of the operands into floats some other way -- for example by using float() on them, or by changing however they were calculated to use floats -- or turn on "true division", by using from __future__ import division at the top of the module.

You might also try giving the full path to the binary you're trying to run. That solved my problem when trying to use ImageMagick.

How to view kafka message

Old version includes kafka-simple-consumer-shell.sh (https://kafka.apache.org/downloads#1.1.1) which is convenient since we do not need cltr+c to exit.

MySQL direct INSERT INTO with WHERE clause

If I understand the goal is to insert a new record to a table but if the data is already on the table: skip it! Here is my answer:

INSERT INTO tbl_member 
(Field1,Field2,Field3,...) 
SELECT a.Field1,a.Field2,a.Field3,... 
FROM (SELECT Field1 = [NewValueField1], Field2 = [NewValueField2], Field3 = [NewValueField3], ...) AS a 
LEFT JOIN tbl_member AS b 
ON a.Field1 = b.Field1 
WHERE b.Field1 IS NULL

The record to be inserted is in the new value fields.

How can bcrypt have built-in salts?

This is from PasswordEncoder interface documentation from Spring Security,

 * @param rawPassword the raw password to encode and match
 * @param encodedPassword the encoded password from storage to compare with
 * @return true if the raw password, after encoding, matches the encoded password from
 * storage
 */
boolean matches(CharSequence rawPassword, String encodedPassword);

Which means, one will need to match rawPassword that user will enter again upon next login and matches it with Bcrypt encoded password that's stores in database during previous login/registration.

How to run a program without an operating system?

Runnable examples

Let's create and run some minuscule bare metal hello world programs that run without an OS on:

an x86 Lenovo Thinkpad T430 laptop with UEFI BIOS 1.16 firmware
an ARM-based Raspberry Pi 3

We will also try them out on the QEMU emulator as much as possible, as that is safer and more convenient for development. The QEMU tests have been on an Ubuntu 18.04 host with the pre-packaged QEMU 2.11.1.

The code of all x86 examples below and more is present on this GitHub repo.

How to run the examples on x86 real hardware

Remember that running examples on real hardware can be dangerous, e.g. you could wipe your disk or brick the hardware by mistake: only do this on old machines that don't contain critical data! Or even better, use cheap semi-disposable devboards such as the Raspberry Pi, see the ARM example below.

For a typical x86 laptop, you have to do something like:

Burn the image to an USB stick (will destroy your data!):
```
sudo dd if=main.img of=/dev/sdX
```
plug the USB on a computer
turn it on
tell it to boot from the USB.

This means making the firmware pick USB before hard disk.

If that is not the default behavior of your machine, keep hitting Enter, F12, ESC or other such weird keys after power-on until you get a boot menu where you can select to boot from the USB.

It is often possible to configure the search order in those menus.

For example, on my T430 I see the following.

After turning on, this is when I have to press Enter to enter the boot menu:

Then, here I have to press F12 to select the USB as the boot device:

From there, I can select the USB as the boot device like this:

Alternatively, to change the boot order and choose the USB to have higher precedence so I don't have to manually select it every time, I would hit F1 on the "Startup Interrupt Menu" screen, and then navigate to:

Boot sector

On x86, the simplest and lowest level thing you can do is to create a Master Boot Sector (MBR), which is a type of boot sector, and then install it to a disk.

Here we create one with a single printf call:

printf '\364%509s\125\252' > main.img
sudo apt-get install qemu-system-x86
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda main.img

Outcome:

Note that even without doing anything, a few characters are already printed on the screen. Those are printed by the firmware, and serve to identify the system.

And on the T430 we just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor:

main.img contains the following:

\364 in octal == 0xf4 in hex: the encoding for a hlt instruction, which tells the CPU to stop working.

Therefore our program will not do anything: only start and stop.

We use octal because \x hex numbers are not specified by POSIX.

We could obtain this encoding easily with:
```
echo hlt > a.S
as -o a.o a.S
objdump -S a.o
```
which outputs:
```
a.o:     file format elf64-x86-64


Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <.text>:
   0:   f4                      hlt
```
but it is also documented in the Intel manual of course.
%509s produce 509 spaces. Needed to fill in the file until byte 510.
\125\252 in octal == 0x55 followed by 0xaa.

These are 2 required magic bytes which must be bytes 511 and 512.

The BIOS goes through all our disks looking for bootable ones, and it only considers bootable those that have those two magic bytes.

If not present, the hardware will not treat this as a bootable disk.

If you are not a printf master, you can confirm the contents of main.img with:

hd main.img

which shows the expected:

00000000  f4 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |.               |
00000010  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |                |
*
000001f0  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 55 aa  |              U.|
00000200

where 20 is a space in ASCII.

The BIOS firmware reads those 512 bytes from the disk, puts them into memory, and sets the PC to the first byte to start executing them.

Hello world boot sector

Now that we have made a minimal program, let's move to a hello world.

The obvious question is: how to do IO? A few options:

ask the firmware, e.g. BIOS or UEFI, to do it for us
VGA: special memory region that gets printed to the screen if written to. Can be used in Protected Mode.
write a driver and talk directly to the display hardware. This is the "proper" way to do it: more powerful, but more complex.
serial port. This is a very simple standardized protocol that sends and receives characters from a host terminal.

On desktops, it looks like this:

Source.

It is unfortunately not exposed on most modern laptops, but is the common way to go for development boards, see the ARM examples below.

This is really a shame, since such interfaces are really useful to debug the Linux kernel for example.
use debug features of chips. ARM calls theirs semihosting for example. On real hardware, it requires some extra hardware and software support, but on emulators it can be a free convenient option. Example.

Here we will do a BIOS example as it is simpler on x86. But note that it is not the most robust method.

main.S

.code16
    mov $msg, %si
    mov $0x0e, %ah
loop:
    lodsb
    or %al, %al
    jz halt
    int $0x10
    jmp loop
halt:
    hlt
msg:
    .asciz "hello world"

    /* The BIOS loads the code from the disk to this location.

        . = 0x1FE;

    }
}

Assemble and link with:

as -g -o main.o main.S
ld --oformat binary -o main.img -T link.ld main.o
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda main.img

Outcome:

And on the T430:

Tested on: Lenovo Thinkpad T430, UEFI BIOS 1.16. Disk generated on an Ubuntu 18.04 host.

Besides the standard userland assembly instructions, we have:

.code16: tells GAS to output 16-bit code
cli: disable software interrupts. Those could make the processor start running again after the hlt
int $0x10: does a BIOS call. This is what prints the characters one by one.

The important link flags are:

--oformat binary: output raw binary assembly code, don't wrap it inside an ELF file as is the case for regular userland executables.

To better understand the linker script part, familiarize yourself with the relocation step of linking: What do linkers do?

Cooler x86 bare metal programs

Here are a few more complex bare metal setups that I've achieved:

multicore: What does multicore assembly language look like?
paging: How does x86 paging work?

Use C instead of assembly

Summary: use GRUB multiboot, which will solve a lot of annoying problems you never thought about. See the section below.

The main difficulty on x86 is that the BIOS only loads 512 bytes from the disk to memory, and you are likely to blow up those 512 bytes when using C!

To solve that, we can use a two-stage bootloader. This makes further BIOS calls, which load more bytes from the disk into memory. Here is a minimal stage 2 assembly example from scratch using the int 0x13 BIOS calls:

Alternatively:

if you only need it to work in QEMU but not real hardware, use the -kernel option, which loads an entire ELF file into memory. Here is an ARM example I've created with that method.
for the Raspberry Pi, the default firmware takes care of the image loading for us from an ELF file named kernel7.img, much like QEMU -kernel does.

For educational purposes only, here is a one stage minimal C example:

main.c

void main(void) {
    int i;
    char s[] = {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'};
    for (i = 0; i < sizeof(s); ++i) {
        __asm__ (
            "int $0x10" : : "a" ((0x0e << 8) | s[i])
        );
    }
    while (1) {
        __asm__ ("hlt");
    };
}

C standard library

Things get more fun if you also want to use the C standard library however, since we don't have the Linux kernel, which implements much of the C standard library functionality through POSIX.

A few possibilities, without going to a full-blown OS like Linux, include:

Write your own. It's just a bunch of headers and C files in the end, right? Right??
Newlib

Detailed example at: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/223929/c-standard-libraries-on-bare-metal/223931

Newlib implements all the boring non-OS specific things for you, e.g. memcmp, memcpy, etc.

Then, it provides some stubs for you to implement the syscalls that you need yourself.

For example, we can implement exit() on ARM through semihosting with:
```
void _exit(int status) {
    __asm__ __volatile__ ("mov r0, #0x18; ldr r1, =#0x20026; svc 0x00123456");
}
```
as shown at in this example.

For example, you could redirect printf to the UART or ARM systems, or implement exit() with semihosting.
embedded operating systems like FreeRTOS and Zephyr.

Such operating systems typically allow you to turn off pre-emptive scheduling, therefore giving you full control over the runtime of the program.

They can be seen as a sort of pre-implemented Newlib.

GNU GRUB Multiboot

Boot sectors are simple, but they are not very convenient:

you can only have one OS per disk
the load code has to be really small and fit into 512 bytes
you have to do a lot of startup yourself, like moving into protected mode

It is for those reasons that GNU GRUB created a more convenient file format called multiboot.

Minimal working example: https://github.com/cirosantilli/x86-bare-metal-examples/tree/d217b180be4220a0b4a453f31275d38e697a99e0/multiboot/hello-world

I also use it on my GitHub examples repo to be able to easily run all examples on real hardware without burning the USB a million times.

QEMU outcome:

T430:

If you prepare your OS as a multiboot file, GRUB is then able to find it inside a regular filesystem.

This is what most distros do, putting OS images under /boot.

Multiboot files are basically an ELF file with a special header. They are specified by GRUB at: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot/multiboot.html

You can turn a multiboot file into a bootable disk with grub-mkrescue.

Firmware

In truth, your boot sector is not the first software that runs on the system's CPU.

What actually runs first is the so-called firmware, which is a software:

made by the hardware manufacturers
typically closed source but likely C-based
stored in read-only memory, and therefore harder / impossible to modify without the vendor's consent.

Well known firmwares include:

BIOS: old all-present x86 firmware. SeaBIOS is the default open source implementation used by QEMU.
UEFI: BIOS successor, better standardized, but more capable, and incredibly bloated.
Coreboot: the noble cross arch open source attempt

The firmware does things like:

loop over each hard disk, USB, network, etc. until you find something bootable.

When we run QEMU, -hda says that main.img is a hard disk connected to the hardware, and hda is the first one to be tried, and it is used.
load the first 512 bytes to RAM memory address 0x7c00, put the CPU's RIP there, and let it run
show things like the boot menu or BIOS print calls on the display

Firmware offers OS-like functionality on which most OS-es depend. E.g. a Python subset has been ported to run on BIOS / UEFI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYQ_lq5dcvM

It can be argued that firmwares are indistinguishable from OSes, and that firmware is the only "true" bare metal programming one can do.

As this CoreOS dev puts it:

The hard part

When you power up a PC, the chips that make up the chipset (northbridge, southbridge and SuperIO) are not yet initialized properly. Even though the BIOS ROM is as far removed from the CPU as it could be, this is accessible by the CPU, because it has to be, otherwise the CPU would have no instructions to execute. This does not mean that BIOS ROM is completely mapped, usually not. But just enough is mapped to get the boot process going. Any other devices, just forget it.

When you run Coreboot under QEMU, you can experiment with the higher layers of Coreboot and with payloads, but QEMU offers little opportunity to experiment with the low level startup code. For one thing, RAM just works right from the start.

Post BIOS initial state

Like many things in hardware, standardization is weak, and one of the things you should not rely on is the initial state of registers when your code starts running after BIOS.

So do yourself a favor and use some initialization code like the following: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32509555/895245

Registers like %ds and %es have important side effects, so you should zero them out even if you are not using them explicitly.

Note that some emulators are nicer than real hardware and give you a nice initial state. Then when you go run on real hardware, everything breaks.

El Torito

Format that can be burnt to CDs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Torito_%28CD-ROM_standard%29

It is also possible to produce a hybrid image that works on either ISO or USB. This is can be done with grub-mkrescue (example), and is also done by the Linux kernel on make isoimage using isohybrid.

ARM

In ARM, the general ideas are the same.

There is no widely available semi-standardized pre-installed firmware like BIOS for us to use for the IO, so the two simplest types of IO that we can do are:

serial, which is widely available on devboards
blink the LED

I have uploaded:

a few simple QEMU C + Newlib and raw assembly examples here on GitHub.

The prompt.c example for example takes input from your host terminal and gives back output all through the simulated UART:
```
enter a character
got: a
new alloc of 1 bytes at address 0x0x4000a1c0
enter a character
got: b
new alloc of 2 bytes at address 0x0x4000a1c0
enter a character
```

See also: How to run a C program with no OS on the Raspberry Pi?

To "see" the LEDs on QEMU you have to compile QEMU from source with a debug flag: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/56373/is-it-possible-to-get-the-state-of-the-leds-and-gpios-in-a-qemu-emulation-like-t

Next, you should try a UART hello world. You can start from the blinker example, and replace the kernel with this one: https://github.com/dwelch67/raspberrypi/tree/bce377230c2cdd8ff1e40919fdedbc2533ef5a00/uart01

First get the UART working with Raspbian as I've explained at: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/38/prepare-for-ssh-without-a-screen/54394#54394 It will look something like this:

Make sure to use the right pins, or else you can burn your UART to USB converter, I've done it twice already by short circuiting ground and 5V...

Finally connect to the serial from the host with:
```
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
```
For the Raspberry Pi, we use a Micro SD card instead of an USB stick to contain our executable, for which you normally need an adapter to connect to your computer:

Don't forget to unlock the SD adapter as shown at: https://askubuntu.com/questions/213889/microsd-card-is-set-to-read-only-state-how-can-i-write-data-on-it/814585#814585

https://github.com/dwelch67/raspberrypi looks like the most popular bare metal Raspberry Pi tutorial available today.

Some differences from x86 include:

IO is done by writing to magic addresses directly, there is no in and out instructions.

This is called memory mapped IO.
for some real hardware, like the Raspberry Pi, you can add the firmware (BIOS) yourself to the disk image.

That is a good thing, as it makes updating that firmware more transparent.

How to return value from function which has Observable subscription inside?

function getValueFromObservable() {
    this.store.subscribe(
        (data:any) => {
            return data
        }
    )
}
console.log(getValueFromObservable())

In above case console.log runs before the promise is resolved so no value is displayed, change it to following

function getValueFromObservable() {
    return this.store
}

getValueFromObservable()
 .subscribe((data: any) => {
    // do something here with data
    console.log(data);
});

other solution is when you need data inside getValueFromObservable to return the observable using of operator and subscribe to the function.

 function getValueFromObservable() {
        return this.store.subscribe((data: any) => {
            // do something with data here
            console.log(data);
            //return again observable.
            return of(data);
       })
    }

    getValueFromObservable()
     .subscribe((data: any) => {
        // do something here with data
        console.log(data);
    });

Nginx -- static file serving confusion with root & alias

In other words on keeping this brief: in case of root, location argument specified is part of filesystem's path and URI . On the other hand — for alias directive argument of location statement is part of URI only

So, alias is a different name that maps certain URI to certain path in the filesystem, whereas root appends location argument to the root path given as argument to root directive.

Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page including the primary key in an unpivot

I know this is an old question. The way I solved it - after failing by increasing the length or even changing to data type text - was creating an XLSX file and importing. It accurately detected the data type instead of setting all columns as varchar(50). Turns out nvarchar(255) for that column would have done it too.

how to use math.pi in java

You're missing the multiplication operator. Also, you want to do 4/3 in floating point, not integer math.

           ^^      ^

Correct way to write loops for promise.

I don't think it guarantees the order of calling logger.log(res);

Actually, it does. That statement is executed before the resolve call.

Any suggestions?

Lots. The most important is your use of the create-promise-manually antipattern - just do only

promiseWhile(…, function() {
    return db.getUser(email)
             .then(function(res) { 
                 logger.log(res); 
                 count++;
             });
})…

Second, that while function could be simplified a lot:

var promiseWhile = Promise.method(function(condition, action) {
    if (!condition()) return;
    return action().then(promiseWhile.bind(null, condition, action));
});

Third, I would not use a while loop (with a closure variable) but a for loop:

var promiseFor = Promise.method(function(condition, action, value) {
    if (!condition(value)) return value;
    return action(value).then(promiseFor.bind(null, condition, action));
});

promiseFor(function(count) {
    return count < 10;
}, function(count) {
    return db.getUser(email)
             .then(function(res) { 
                 logger.log(res); 
                 return ++count;
             });
}, 0).then(console.log.bind(console, 'all done'));

How to capture a list of specific type with mockito

There is an open issue in Mockito's GitHub about this exact problem.

I have found a simple workaround that does not force you to use annotations in your tests:

import org.mockito.ArgumentCaptor;
import org.mockito.Captor;
import org.mockito.MockitoAnnotations;

public final class MockitoCaptorExtensions {

    public static <T> ArgumentCaptor<T> captorFor(final CaptorTypeReference<T> argumentTypeReference) {
        return new CaptorContainer<T>().captor;
    }

    public static <T> ArgumentCaptor<T> captorFor(final Class<T> argumentClass) {
        return ArgumentCaptor.forClass(argumentClass);
    }

    public interface CaptorTypeReference<T> {

        static <T> CaptorTypeReference<T> genericType() {
            return new CaptorTypeReference<T>() {
            };
        }

        default T nullOfGenericType() {
            return null;
        }

    }

    private static final class CaptorContainer<T> {

        @Captor
        private ArgumentCaptor<T> captor;

        private CaptorContainer() {
            MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
        }

    }

}

What happens here is that we create a new class with the @Captor annotation and inject the captor into it. Then we just extract the captor and return it from our static method.

In your test you can use it like so:

ArgumentCaptor<Supplier<Set<List<Object>>>> fancyCaptor = captorFor(genericType());

Or with syntax that resembles Jackson's TypeReference:

ArgumentCaptor<Supplier<Set<List<Object>>>> fancyCaptor = captorFor(
    new CaptorTypeReference<Supplier<Set<List<Object>>>>() {
    }
);

It works, because Mockito doesn't actually need any type information (unlike serializers, for example).

How to run a C# application at Windows startup?

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace RunAtStartup

        // The path to the key where Windows looks for startup applications
        RegistryKey rkApp = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run", true);

        public frmStartup()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            // Check to see the current state (running at startup or not)
            if (rkApp.GetValue("MyApp") == null)
            {
                // The value doesn't exist, the application is not set to run at startup
                chkRun.Checked = false;
            }
            else
            {
                // The value exists, the application is set to run at startup
                chkRun.Checked = true;
            }
        }

        private void btnOk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (chkRun.Checked)
            {
                // Add the value in the registry so that the application runs at startup
                rkApp.SetValue("MyApp", Application.ExecutablePath);
            }
            else
            {
                // Remove the value from the registry so that the application doesn't start
                rkApp.DeleteValue("MyApp", false);
            }
        }
    }

NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key must be present in Info.plist to use camera roll

If you added the key-string pairs in Info.plist (see Murat's answer above ) and still getting the error, try to check if the target you're currently working on has the keys.

In my case I had 2 targets (dev and development). I added the keys in the editor, but it only works for the main target and I was testing on development target. So I had to open XCode, click on the project > Info > Add the key-pair for the development target there.

How can I pass a Bitmap object from one activity to another

You can create a bitmap transfer. try this....

In the first class:

1) Create:

private static Bitmap bitmap_transfer;

2) Create getter and setter

public static Bitmap getBitmap_transfer() {
    return bitmap_transfer;
}

public static void setBitmap_transfer(Bitmap bitmap_transfer_param) {
    bitmap_transfer = bitmap_transfer_param;
}

3) Set the image:

ImageView image = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.image);
image.buildDrawingCache();
setBitmap_transfer(image.getDrawingCache());

Then, in the second class:

ImageView image2 = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.img2);
imagem2.setImageDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), classe1.getBitmap_transfer()));

When is each sorting algorithm used?

@dsimcha wrote: Counting sort: When you are sorting integers with a limited range

I would change that to:

Counting sort: When you sort positive integers (0 - Integer.MAX_VALUE-2 due to the pigeonhole).

You can always get the max and min values as an efficiency heuristic in linear time as well.
Also you need at least n extra space for the intermediate array and it is stable obviously.

/**
* Some VMs reserve some header words in an array.
* Attempts to allocate larger arrays may result in
* OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
*/
private static final int MAX_ARRAY_SIZE = Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8;

(even though it actually will allow to MAX_VALUE-2) see: Do Java arrays have a maximum size?

Also I would explain that radix sort complexity is O(wn) for n keys which are integers of word size w. Sometimes w is presented as a constant, which would make radix sort better (for sufficiently large n) than the best comparison-based sorting algorithms, which all perform O(n log n) comparisons to sort n keys. However, in general w cannot be considered a constant: if all n keys are distinct, then w has to be at least log n for a random-access machine to be able to store them in memory, which gives at best a time complexity O(n log n). (from wikipedia)

JavaScript push to array

var array = new Array(); // or the shortcut: = []
array.push ( {"cool":"34.33","also cool":"45454"} );
array.push (  {"cool":"34.39","also cool":"45459"} );

Your variable is a javascript object {} not an array [].

You could do:

var o = {}; // or the longer form: = new Object()
o.SomeNewProperty = "something";
o["SomeNewProperty"] = "something";

and

var o = { SomeNewProperty: "something" };
var o2 = { "SomeNewProperty": "something" };

Later, you add those objects to your array: array.push (o, o2);

Also JSON is simply a string representation of a javascript object, thus:

var json = '{"cool":"34.33","alsocool":"45454"}'; // is JSON
var o = JSON.parse(json); // is a javascript object
json = JSON.stringify(o); // is JSON again

Set QLineEdit to accept only numbers

Why don't you use a QSpinBox for this purpose ? You can set the up/down buttons invisible with the following line of codes:

// ...
QSpinBox* spinBox = new QSpinBox( this );
spinBox->setButtonSymbols( QAbstractSpinBox::NoButtons ); // After this it looks just like a QLineEdit.
//...

Java: set timeout on a certain block of code?

Instead of having the task in the new thread and the timer in the main thread, have the timer in the new thread and the task in the main thread:

public static class TimeOut implements Runnable{
    public void run() {
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        if(taskComplete ==false) {
            System.out.println("Timed Out");
            return;
        }
        else {
            return;
        }
    }
}
public static boolean taskComplete = false;
public static void main(String[] args) {
    TimeOut timeOut = new TimeOut();
    Thread timeOutThread = new Thread(timeOut);
    timeOutThread.start();
    //task starts here
    //task completed
    taskComplete =true;
    while(true) {//do all other stuff }
}

npm not working - "read ECONNRESET"

I had the same problem on my local home network without proxy. Other answers in this thread didn't work for me. What I ended up doing was using yarn which can be used interchangeably with npm:

yarn add

To this day I don't know why my npm still don't work. I know for sure that it's a problem with my Wi-Fi, because when I connect to LTE internet broadcasted from my smartphone npm install works again. It has probably something to do with router settings (problems started when I upgraded my internet speed and ISP worker replaced my old router with a new one).

Android lollipop change navigation bar color

For people using Kotlin you can put this in your MainActivity.kt:

window.navigationBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.yourColor)

With window being:

val window: Window = [email protected]

Or you can put this in your themes.xml or styles.xml (requires API level 21):

<item name='android:navigationBarColor'>@color/yourColor</item>

How to parse dates in multiple formats using SimpleDateFormat

What about just defining multiple patterns? They might come from a config file containing known patterns, hard coded it reads like:

List<SimpleDateFormat> knownPatterns = new ArrayList<SimpleDateFormat>();
knownPatterns.add(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"));
knownPatterns.add(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm.ss'Z'"));
knownPatterns.add(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"));
knownPatterns.add(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd' 'HH:mm:ss"));
knownPatterns.add(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX"));

for (SimpleDateFormat pattern : knownPatterns) {
    try {
        // Take a try
        return new Date(pattern.parse(candidate).getTime());

    } catch (ParseException pe) {
        // Loop on
    }
}
System.err.println("No known Date format found: " + candidate);
return null;

Is it possible to return empty in react render function?

Returning falsy value in the render() function will render nothing. So you can just do

  }

How to change the timeout on a .NET WebClient object

Couldn't get the w.Timeout code to work when pulled out the network cable, it just wasn't timing out, moved to using HttpWebRequest and does the job now.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(downloadUrl);
request.Timeout = 10000;
request.ReadWriteTimeout = 10000;
var wresp = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

using (Stream file = File.OpenWrite(downloadFile))
{
    wresp.GetResponseStream().CopyTo(file);
}

Print string to text file

If you are using Python3.

then you can use Print Function :

your_data = {"Purchase Amount": 'TotalAmount'}
print(your_data,  file=open('D:\log.txt', 'w'))

For python2

this is the example of Python Print String To Text File

def my_func():
    """
    this function return some value
    :return:
    """
    return 25.256


def write_file(data):
    """
    this function write data to file
    :param data:
    :return:
    """
    file_name = r'D:\log.txt'
    with open(file_name, 'w') as x_file:
        x_file.write('{} TotalAmount'.format(data))


def run():
    data = my_func()
    write_file(data)


run()

What does `unsigned` in MySQL mean and when to use it?

MySQL says:

All integer types can have an optional (nonstandard) attribute UNSIGNED. Unsigned type can be used to permit only nonnegative numbers in a column or when you need a larger upper numeric range for the column. For example, if an INT column is UNSIGNED, the size of the column's range is the same but its endpoints shift from -2147483648 and 2147483647 up to 0 and 4294967295.

When do I use it ?

Ask yourself this question: Will this field ever contain a negative value?
If the answer is no, then you want an UNSIGNED data type.

A common mistake is to use a primary key that is an auto-increment INT starting at zero, yet the type is SIGNED, in that case you’ll never touch any of the negative numbers and you are reducing the range of possible id's to half.

How do I get the name of the active user via the command line in OS X?

You can also use the logname command from the BSD General Commands Manual under Linux or MacOS to see the username of the user currently logged in, even if the user is performing a sudo operation. This is useful, for instance, when modifying a user's crontab while installing a system-wide package with sudo: crontab -u $(logname)

Per man logname:

LOGNAME(1)

NAME
    logname -- display user's login name

How to create batch file in Windows using "start" with a path and command with spaces

Escaping the path with apostrophes is correct, but the start command takes a parameter containing the title of the new window. This parameter is detected by the surrounding apostrophes, so your application is not executed.

Try something like this:

start "Dummy Title" "c:\path with spaces\app.exe" param1 "param with spaces"

java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.1.1;

I found many of the Q&A on this topic, not nothing was helping me - that's because my issue was more basic ( what can I say I am not a networking guru :) ). My ip address in /etc/hosts was incorrect. What I had tried included the following for CATALINA_OPTS:

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128M -server 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=7091 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=A.B.C.D"  #howeverI put the wrong ip here!

export CATALINA_OPTS

My problem was that I had changed my ip address many months ago, but never updated my /etc/hosts file. it seems that by default the jconsole uses the hostname -i ip address in some fashion even though I was viewing local processes. The best solution was to simply change the /etc/hosts file.

The other solution which can work is to get your correct ip address from /sbin/ifconfig and use that ip address when specifying the ip address in, for example, a catalina.sh script:

-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=A.B.C.D

How to Position a table HTML?

You would want to use CSS to achieve that.

say you have a table with the attribute id="my_table"

You would want to write the following in your css file

#my_table{
    margin-top:10px //moves your table 10pixels down
    margin-left:10px //moves your table 10pixels right
}

if you do not have a CSS file then you may just add margin-top:10px, margin-left:10px to the style attribute in your table element like so

<table style="margin-top:10px; margin-left:10px;">
    ....
</table>

There are a lot of resources on the net describing CSS and HTML in detail

The database cannot be opened because it is version 782. This server supports version 706 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported

Try changing Tools > Options > Database Tools > Data Connections > SQL Server Instance Name.

The default for VS2013 is (LocalDB)\v11.0.

Changing to (LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB, for example, seems to work - no more version 782 error.

Use YAML with variables

After some search, I've found a cleaner solution wich use the % operator.

In your YAML file :

key : 'This is the foobar var : %{foobar}'

In your ruby code :

require 'yaml'

file = YAML.load_file('your_file.yml')

foobar = 'Hello World !'
content = file['key']
modified_content = content % { :foobar => foobar }

puts modified_content

And the output is :

This is the foobar var : Hello World !

As @jschorr said in the comment, you can also add multiple variable to the value in the Yaml file :

Yaml :

key : 'The foo var is %{foo} and the bar var is %{bar} !'

Ruby :

# ...
foo = 'FOO'
bar = 'BAR'
# ...
modified_content = content % { :foo => foo, :bar => bar }

Output :

The foo var is FOO and the bar var is BAR !

How to do something before on submit?

If you have a form as such:

<form id="myform">
...
</form>

You can use the following jQuery code to do something before the form is submitted:

$('#myform').submit(function() {
    // DO STUFF...
    return true; // return false to cancel form action
});

'Static readonly' vs. 'const'

There is a minor difference between const and static readonly fields in C#.Net

const must be initialized with value at compile time.

const is by default static and needs to be initialized with constant value, which can not be modified later on. It can not be used with all datatypes. For ex- DateTime. It can not be used with DateTime datatype.

public const DateTime dt = DateTime.Today;  //throws compilation error
public const string Name = string.Empty;    //throws compilation error
public static readonly string Name = string.Empty; //No error, legal

readonly can be declared as static, but not necessary. No need to initialize at the time of declaration. Its value can be assigned or changed using constructor once. So there is a possibility to change value of readonly field once (does not matter, if it is static or not), which is not possible with const.

Note2: In this sample you won't be able to access the document via any means. The reason is you can't access the document of an iframe with a different origin because it violates the "Same Origin" security policy

Angular 2 Cannot find control with unspecified name attribute on formArrays

Remove the brackets from

[formArrayName]="areas"

and use only

formArrayName="areas"

This, because with [ ] you are trying to bind a variable, which this is not. Also notice your submit, it should be:

(ngSubmit)="onSubmit(areasForm.value)"

instead of areasForm.values.

How do I activate a Spring Boot profile when running from IntelliJ?

I ended up adding the following to my build.gradle:

bootRun {
  environment SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE: environment.SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE ?: "local"
}

test {
  environment SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE: environment.SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE ?: "test"
}

So now when running bootRun from IntelliJ, it defaults to the "local" profile.

On our other environments, we will simply set the 'SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE' environment variable in Tomcat.

I got this from a comment found here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/592

    {
        var type = typeof(T);
        var parameterExpression = Expression.Parameter(type, "x");
        var body = Expression.PropertyOrField(parameterExpression, sortColumn);
        var convertedBody = Expression.MakeUnary(ExpressionType.Convert, body, typeof(object));

        var expression = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, object>>(convertedBody, new[] { parameterExpression });

        return expression;

How to detect query which holds the lock in Postgres?

Postgres has a very rich system catalog exposed via SQL tables. PG's statistics collector is a subsystem that supports collection and reporting of information about server activity.

Now to figure out the blocking PIDs you can simply query pg_stat_activity.

select pg_blocking_pids(pid) as blocked_by
from pg_stat_activity
where cardinality(pg_blocking_pids(pid)) > 0;

To, get the query corresponding to the blocking PID, you can self-join or use it as a where clause in a subquery.

SELECT query
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE pid IN (select unnest(pg_blocking_pids(pid)) as blocked_by from pg_stat_activity where cardinality(pg_blocking_pids(pid)) > 0);

Note: Since pg_blocking_pids(pid) returns an Integer[], so you need to unnest it before you use it in a WHERE pid IN clause.

Hunting for slow queries can be tedious sometimes, so have patience. Happy hunting.

Passing Parameters JavaFX FXML

Recommended Approach

This answer enumerates different mechanisms for passing parameters to FXML controllers.

For small applications I highly recommend passing parameters directly from the caller to the controller - it's simple, straightforward and requires no extra frameworks.

For larger, more complicated applications, it would be worthwhile investigating if you want to use Dependency Injection or Event Bus mechanisms within your application.

Passing Parameters Directly From the Caller to the Controller

Pass custom data to an FXML controller by retrieving the controller from the FXML loader instance and calling a method on the controller to initialize it with the required data values.

Something like the following code:

public Stage showCustomerDialog(Customer customer) {
  FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(
    getClass().getResource(
      "customerDialog.fxml"
    )
  );

  Stage stage = new Stage(StageStyle.DECORATED);
  stage.setScene(
    new Scene(loader.load())
  );

  CustomerDialogController controller = loader.getController();
  controller.initData(customer);

  stage.show();

  return stage;
}

...

class CustomerDialogController {
  @FXML private Label customerName;
  void initialize() {}
  void initData(Customer customer) {
    customerName.setText(customer.getName());
  }
}

A new FXMLLoader is constructed as shown in the sample code i.e. new FXMLLoader(location). The location is a URL and you can generate such a URL from an FXML resource by:

new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));

Be careful NOT to use a static load function on the FXMLLoader, or you will not be able to get your controller from your loader instance.

FXMLLoader instances themselves never know anything about domain objects. You do not directly pass application specific domain objects into the FXMLLoader constructor, instead you:

Construct an FXMLLoader based upon fxml markup at a specified location
Get a controller from the FXMLLoader instance.
Invoke methods on the retrieved controller to provide the controller with references to the domain objects.

This blog (by another writer) provides an alternate, but similar, example.

Setting a Controller on the FXMLLoader

CustomerDialogController dialogController = 
    new CustomerDialogController(param1, param2);

FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(
    getClass().getResource(
        "customerDialog.fxml"
    )
);
loader.setController(dialogController);

Pane mainPane = loader.load();

You can construct a new controller in code, passing any parameters you want from your caller into the controller constructor. Once you have constructed a controller, you can set it on an FXMLLoader instance before you invoke the load() instance method.

To set a controller on a loader (in JavaFX 2.x) you CANNOT also define a fx:controller attribute in your fxml file.

Due to the limitation on the fx:controller definition in FXML, I personally prefer getting the controller from the FXMLLoader rather than setting the controller into the FXMLLoader.

Having the Controller Retrieve Parameters from an External Static Method

This method is exemplified by Sergey's answer to Javafx 2.0 How-to Application.getParameters() in a Controller.java file.

Use Dependency Injection

FXMLLoader supports dependency injection systems like Guice, Spring or Java EE CDI by allowing you to set a custom controller factory on the FXMLLoader. This provides a callback that you can use to create the controller instance with dependent values injected by the respective dependency injection system.

An example of JavaFX application and controller dependency injection with Spring is provided in the answer to:

Adding Spring Dependency Injection in JavaFX (JPA Repo, Service)

A really nice, clean dependency injection approach is exemplified by the afterburner.fx framework with a sample air-hacks application that uses it. afterburner.fx relies on JEE6 javax.inject to perform the dependency injection.

Use an Event Bus

Greg Brown, the original FXML specification creator and implementor, often suggests considering use of an event bus, such as the Guava EventBus, for communication between FXML instantiated controllers and other application logic.

The EventBus is a simple but powerful publish/subscribe API with annotations that allows POJOs to communicate with each other anywhere in a JVM without having to refer to each other.

Follow-up Q&A

on first method, why do you return Stage? The method can be void as well because you already giving the command show(); just before return stage;. How do you plan usage by returning the Stage

It is a functional solution to a problem. A stage is returned from the showCustomerDialog function so that a reference to it can be stored by an external class which may wish to do something, such as hide the stage based on a button click in the main window, at a later time. An alternate, object-oriented solution could encapsulate the functionality and stage reference inside a CustomerDialog object or have a CustomerDialog extend Stage. A full example for an object-oriented interface to a custom dialog encapsulating FXML, controller and model data is beyond the scope of this answer, but may make a worthwhile blog post for anybody inclined to create one.

How can I backup a Docker-container with its data-volumes?

The problem: You want to backup you image container WITH the data volumes in it but this option is Not out off the box, The straight forward and trivial way would be copy the volumes path and backup the docker image 'reload it and and link it both together. but this solution seems to be clumsy and not sustainable and maintainable - You would need to create a cron job that would make this flow each time.

Solution: Using dockup - Docker image to backup your Docker container volumes and upload it to s3 (Docker + Backup = dockup) . dockup will use your AWS credentials to create a new bucket with name as per the environment variable ,gets the configured volumes and will be tarballed, gzipped, time-stamped and uploaded to the S3 bucket.

Steps:

configure the docker-compose.yml and attach the env.txt configuration file to it, The data should be uploaded to a dedicated secured s3 bucket and ready to be reloaded on DRP executions. in order to verify which volumes path to configure run docker inspect <service-name> and locate the volumes :

"Volumes": { "/etc/service-example": {}, "/service-example": {} },

Edit the content of the configuration file env.txt, and place it on the project path:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key_here>
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_here>
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
BACKUP_NAME=service-backup
PATHS_TO_BACKUP=/etc/service-example /service-example
S3_BUCKET_NAME=docker-backups.example.com
RESTORE=false

Run the dockup container

$ docker run --rm \
--env-file env.txt \
--volumes-from <service-name> \
--name dockup tutum/dockup:latest

Afterwards verify your s3 bucket contains the relevant data

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

ECUs (EC2 Computer Units) are a rough measure of processor performance that was introduced by Amazon to let you compare their EC2 instances ("servers").

CPU performance is of course a multi-dimensional measure, so putting a single number on it (like "5 ECU") can only be a rough approximation. If you want to know more exactly how well a processor performs for a task you have in mind, you should choose a benchmark that is similar to your task.

In early 2014, there was a nice benchmarking site comparing cloud hosting offers by tens of different benchmarks, over at CloudHarmony benchmarks. However, this seems gone now (and archive.org can't help as it was a web application). Only an introductory blog post is still available.

Also useful: ec2instances.info, which at least aggregates the ECU information of different EC2 instances for comparison. (Add column "Compute Units (ECU)" to make it work.)

How to add a custom CA Root certificate to the CA Store used by pip in Windows?

Self-Signed Certificate Authorities `pip` / `conda`

After extensively documenting a similar problem with Git (How can I make git accept a self signed certificate?), here we are again behind a corporate firewall with a proxy giving us a MitM "attack" that we should trust and:

Certificates are a document complying with X.509 but they can be encoded to disk a few ways. The below article is a good read but the short version is that we are dealing with the base64 encoding which is often called PEM in the file extensions. You will see it has the format:

How to determine whether a year is a leap year?

The logic in the "one-liner" works fine. From personal experience, what has helped me is to assign the statements to variables (in their "True" form) and then use logical operators for the result:

A = year % 4 == 0
B = year % 100 == 0
C = year % 400 == 0

I used '==' in the B statement instead of "!=" and applied 'not' logical operator in the calculation:

leap = A and (not B or C)

This comes in handy with a larger set of conditions, and to simplify the boolean operation where applicable before writing a whole bunch of if statements.

How to get input type using jquery?

EDIT Feb 1, 2013. Due to the popularity of this answer and the changes to jQuery in version 1.9 (and 2.0) regarding properties and attributes, I added some notes and a fiddle to see how it works when accessing properties/attributes on input, buttons and some selects. The fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/pVBU8/1/

get all the inputs:

var allInputs = $(":input");

get all the inputs type:

allInputs.attr('type');

get the values:

allInputs.val();

NOTE: .val() is NOT the same as :checked for those types where that is relevent. use:

.attr("checked");

EDIT Feb 1, 2013 - re: jQuery 1.9 use prop() not attr() as attr will not return proper values for properties that have changed.

.prop('checked');

or simply

$(this).checked;

to get the value of the check - whatever it is currently. or simply use the ':checked' if you want only those that ARE checked.

EDIT: Here is another way to get type:

var allCheckboxes=$('[type=checkbox]');

EDIT2: Note that the form of:

$('input:radio');

is perferred over

$(':radio');

which both equate to:

$('input[type=radio]');

but the "input" is desired so it only gets the inputs and does not use the universal '*" when the form of $(':radio') is used which equates to $('*:radio');

EDIT Aug 19, 2015: preference for the $('input[type=radio]'); should be used as that then allows modern browsers to optimize the search for a radio input.

EDIT Feb 1, 2013 per comment re: select elements @dariomac

$('select').prop("type");

will return either "select-one" or "select-multiple" depending upon the "multiple" attribute and

$('select')[0].type

returns the same for the first select if it exists. and

($('select')[0]?$('select')[0].type:"howdy")

will return the type if it exists or "howdy" if it does not.

 $('select').prop('type');

returns the property of the first one in the DOM if it exists or "undefined" if none exist.

$('select').type

returns the type of the first one if it exists or an error if none exist.

Start systemd service after specific service?

After= dependency is only effective when service including After= and service included by After= are both scheduled to start as part of your boot up.

Ex:

a.service
[Unit]
After=b.service

This way, if both a.service and b.service are enabled, then systemd will order b.service after a.service.

If I am not misunderstanding, what you are asking is how to start b.service when a.service starts even though b.service is not enabled.

The directive for this is Wants= or Requires= under [Unit].

website.service
[Unit]
Wants=mongodb.service
After=mongodb.service

The difference between Wants= and Requires= is that with Requires=, a failure to start b.service will cause the startup of a.service to fail, whereas with Wants=, a.service will start even if b.service fails. This is explained in detail on the man page of .unit.

Select the top N values by group

If there were a tie at the fourth position for mtcars$mpg then this should return all the ties:

top_mpg <- mtcars[ mtcars$mpg >= mtcars$mpg[order(mtcars$mpg, decreasing=TRUE)][4] , ]

> top_mpg
                mpg cyl disp  hp drat    wt  qsec vs am gear carb
Fiat 128       32.4   4 78.7  66 4.08 2.200 19.47  1  1    4    1
Honda Civic    30.4   4 75.7  52 4.93 1.615 18.52  1  1    4    2
Toyota Corolla 33.9   4 71.1  65 4.22 1.835 19.90  1  1    4    1
Lotus Europa   30.4   4 95.1 113 3.77 1.513 16.90  1  1    5    2

Since there is a tie at the 3-4 position you can test it by changing 4 to a 3, and it still returns 4 items. This is logical indexing and you might need to add a clause that removes the NA's or wrap which() around the logical expression. It's not much more difficult to do this "by" cyl:

 Reduce(rbind,  by(mtcars, mtcars$cyl, 
        function(d) d[ d$mpg >= d$mpg[order(d$mpg, decreasing=TRUE)][4] , ]) )

How to remove trailing whitespaces with sed?

It is best to also quote $1:

sed -i.bak 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' "$1"

Iterate through <select> options

can also Use parameterized each with index and the element.

$('#selectIntegrationConf').find('option').each(function(index,element){
 console.log(index);
 console.log(element.value);
 console.log(element.text);
 });

// this will also work

$('#selectIntegrationConf option').each(function(index,element){
 console.log(index);
 console.log(element.value);
 console.log(element.text);
 });

Postgresql : Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections

The error you quote has nothing to do with pg_hba.conf; it's failing to connect, not failing to authorize the connection.

Do what the error message says:

Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections

You haven't shown the command that produces the error. Assuming you're connecting on localhost port 5432 (the defaults for a standard PostgreSQL install), then either:

PostgreSQL isn't running
PostgreSQL isn't listening for TCP/IP connections (listen_addresses in postgresql.conf)
PostgreSQL is only listening on IPv4 (0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1) and you're connecting on IPv6 (::1) or vice versa. This seems to be an issue on some older Mac OS X versions that have weird IPv6 socket behaviour, and on some older Windows versions.
PostgreSQL is listening on a different port to the one you're connecting on
(unlikely) there's an iptables rule blocking loopback connections

(If you are not connecting on localhost, it may also be a network firewall that's blocking TCP/IP connections, but I'm guessing you're using the defaults since you didn't say).

So ... check those:

ps -f -u postgres should list postgres processes
sudo lsof -n -u postgres |grep LISTEN or sudo netstat -ltnp | grep postgres should show the TCP/IP addresses and ports PostgreSQL is listening on

BTW, I think you must be on an old version. On my 9.3 install, the error is rather more detailed:

$ psql -h localhost -p 12345
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
