Limiting number of displayed results when using ngRepeat

Slightly more "Angular way" would be to use the straightforward limitTo filter, as natively provided by Angular:

<ul class="phones">
  <li ng-repeat="phone in phones | filter:query | orderBy:orderProp | limitTo:quantity">
    {{phone.name}}
    <p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>
  </li>
</ul>

app.controller('PhoneListCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
    $http.get('phones.json').then(
      function(phones){
        $scope.phones = phones.data;
      }
    );
    $scope.orderProp = 'age';
    $scope.quantity = 5;
  }
);

PLUNKER

Angular ng-click with call to a controller function not working

You should probably use the ngHref directive along with the ngClick:

 <a ng-href='#here' ng-click='go()' >click me</a>

Here is an example: http://plnkr.co/edit/FSH0tP0YBFeGwjIhKBSx?p=preview

<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
    {{msg}}
    <a ng-href='#here' ng-click='go()' >click me</a>
    <div style='height:1000px'>

      <a id='here'></a>

    </div>
     <h1>here</h1>
  </body>

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.name = 'World';

  $scope.go = function() {

    $scope.msg = 'clicked';
  }
});

I don't know if this will work with the library you are using but it will at least let you link and use the ngClick function.

** Update **

Here is a demo of the set and get working fine with a service.

http://plnkr.co/edit/FSH0tP0YBFeGwjIhKBSx?p=preview

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, sharedProperties) {
  $scope.name = 'World';

  $scope.go = function(item) {
    sharedProperties.setListName(item);


  }

  $scope.getItem = function() {

    $scope.msg = sharedProperties.getListName();
  }
});

app.service('sharedProperties', function () {
    var list_name = '';

    return {

        getListName: function() {
            return list_name;
        },
        setListName: function(name) {
            list_name = name;
        }
    };


});

AngularJS: ng-repeat list is not updated when a model element is spliced from the model array

I had the same issue. The problem was because 'ng-controller' was defined twice (in routing and also in the HTML).

Removing the fragment identifier from AngularJS urls (# symbol)

Start from index.html remove all # from <a href="#/aboutus">About Us</a> so it must look like <a href="/aboutus">About Us</a>.Now in head tag of index.html write <base href="/"> just after last meta tag.

Now in your routing js inject $locationProvider and write $locatonProvider.html5Mode(true); Something Like This:-

app.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
    $routeProvider
        .when("/home", {
            templateUrl: "Templates/home.html",
            controller: "homeController"
        })
            .when("/aboutus",{templateUrl:"Templates/aboutus.html"})
            .when("/courses", {
                templateUrl: "Templates/courses.html",
                controller: "coursesController"
            })
            .when("/students", {
                templateUrl: "Templates/students.html",
                controller: "studentsController"
            })
        $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
    });

How to reload / refresh model data from the server programmatically?

You're half way there on your own. To implement a refresh, you'd just wrap what you already have in a function on the scope:

function PersonListCtrl($scope, $http) {
  $scope.loadData = function () {
     $http.get('/persons').success(function(data) {
       $scope.persons = data;
     });
  };

  //initial load
  $scope.loadData();
}

then in your markup

<div ng-controller="PersonListCtrl">
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="person in persons">
            Name: {{person.name}}, Age {{person.age}}
        </li>
    </ul>
   <button ng-click="loadData()">Refresh</button>
</div>

As far as "accessing your model", all you'd need to do is access that $scope.persons array in your controller:

for example (just puedo code) in your controller:

$scope.addPerson = function() {
     $scope.persons.push({ name: 'Test Monkey' });
};

Then you could use that in your view or whatever you'd want to do.

angular js unknown provider

Since this is the top result for "angularjs unknown provider" on Google right now, here's another gotcha. When doing unit testing with Jasmine, make sure you have this statement in your beforeEach() function:

module('moduleName');

Otherwise you'll get this same error in your tests.

Pagination on a list using ng-repeat

I know this thread is old now but I am answering it to keep things a bit updated.

With Angular 1.4 and above you can directly use limitTo filter which apart from accepting the limit parameter also accepts a begin parameter.

Usage: {{ limitTo_expression | limitTo : limit : begin}}

So now you may not need to use any third party library to achieve something like pagination. I have created a fiddle to illustrate the same.

vba listbox multicolumn add

Simplified example (with counter):

With Me.lstbox
    .ColumnCount = 2
    .ColumnWidths = "60;60"
    .AddItem
    .List(i, 0) = Company_ID
    .List(i, 1) = Company_name 
    i = i + 1

end with

Make sure to start the counter with 0, not 1 to fill up a listbox.

About the Full Screen And No Titlebar from manifest

If your Manifest.xml has the default android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

Go to res/values/styles.xml and change

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

And the ActionBar is disappeared!

Initializing select with AngularJS and ng-repeat

For the select tag, angular provides the ng-options directive. It gives you the specific framework to set up options and set a default. Here is the updated fiddle using ng-options that works as expected: http://jsfiddle.net/FxM3B/4/

Updated HTML (code stays the same)

<body ng-app ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<div>Operator is: {{filterCondition.operator}}</div>
<select ng-model="filterCondition.operator" ng-options="operator.value as operator.displayName for operator in operators">
</select>
</body>

How to format date with hours, minutes and seconds when using jQuery UI Datepicker?

If don't like to add time picker, we can use just javascript for time part.

  var dateObj=new Date();
  var date = $.datepicker.formatDate('dd M yy', dateObj);
  var time  = dateObj.getHours()+":"+dateObj.getMinutes()+":"+dateObj.getSeconds(); 

  console.log(date," ",time);

How do you print in Sublime Text 2

TL;DR Use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P then Package Control: Install Package, then Print to HTML and install it. Use Alt+Shift+P to print.

My favorite tool for printing from Sublime Text is Print to HTML package. You can "print" a selection or a whole file - via the web browser.

Usage

Make a selection (or none for the whole file)
Press Alt+Shift+P OR Shift+Command+P and type in "Print to HTML".

This opens your browser print dialog (Chrome for me) with the selected text neatly in the print dialog window and syntax highlighting intact. There you can choose a printer or export to PDF, and print.

Setup

Install the "Print to HTML" package using the package manager.

Ctrl + Shift + P => Gives a list of commands.
Find the package manager by typing "install"
You see a few choices. Select "Package Control: Install Package"
This opens a list of packages. Type "print to"
One of the choices should be "Print to HTML". Select that, and it is being installed.
You can use the "print to html" now by a keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+P

mkdir's "-p" option

Note that -p is an argument to the mkdir command specifically, not the whole of Unix. Every command can have whatever arguments it needs.

In this case it means "parents", meaning mkdir will create a directory and any parents that don't already exist.

How can I calculate the number of years between two dates?

Maybe my function can explain better how to do this in a simple way without loop, calculations and/or libs

_x000D_

function checkYearsDifference(birthDayDate){_x000D_
    var todayDate = new Date();_x000D_
    var thisMonth = todayDate.getMonth();_x000D_
    var thisYear = todayDate.getFullYear();_x000D_
    var thisDay = todayDate.getDate();_x000D_
    var monthBirthday = birthDayDate.getMonth(); _x000D_
    var yearBirthday = birthDayDate.getFullYear();_x000D_
    var dayBirthday = birthDayDate.getDate();_x000D_
    //first just make the difference between years_x000D_
    var yearDifference = thisYear - yearBirthday;_x000D_
    //then check months_x000D_
    if (thisMonth == monthBirthday){_x000D_
      //if months are the same then check days_x000D_
      if (thisDay<dayBirthday){_x000D_
        //if today day is before birthday day_x000D_
        //then I have to remove 1 year_x000D_
        //(no birthday yet)_x000D_
        yearDifference = yearDifference -1;_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      //if not no action because year difference is ok_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    else {_x000D_
      if (thisMonth < monthBirthday) {_x000D_
        //if actual month is before birthday one_x000D_
        //then I have to remove 1 year_x000D_
        yearDifference = yearDifference -1;_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      //if not no action because year difference is ok_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    return yearDifference;_x000D_
  }

Why isn't my Pandas 'apply' function referencing multiple columns working?

Let's say we want to apply a function add5 to columns 'a' and 'b' of DataFrame df

def add5(x):
    return x+5

df[['a', 'b']].apply(add5)

Reading file using fscanf() in C

scanf() and friends return the number of input items successfully matched. For your code, that would be two or less (in case of less matches than specified). In short, be a little more careful with the manual pages:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main(void)
{
    char item[9], status;

    FILE *fp;

    if((fp = fopen("D:\\Sample\\database.txt", "r+")) == NULL) {
        printf("No such file\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    while (true) {
        int ret = fscanf(fp, "%s %c", item, &status);
        if(ret == 2)
            printf("\n%s \t %c", item, status);
        else if(errno != 0) {
            perror("scanf:");
            break;
        } else if(ret == EOF) {
            break;
        } else {
            printf("No match.\n");
        }
    }
    printf("\n");
    if(feof(fp)) {
        puts("EOF");
    }
    return 0;
}

Main differences between SOAP and RESTful web services in Java

SOAP web service always make a POST operation whereas using REST you can choose specific HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

Example: to get an item using SOAP you should create a request XML, but in the case of REST you can just specify the item id in the URL itself.

How do I reflect over the members of dynamic object?

Requires Newtonsoft Json.Net

A little late, but I came up with this. It gives you just the keys and then you can use those on the dynamic:

public List<string> GetPropertyKeysForDynamic(dynamic dynamicToGetPropertiesFor)
{
    JObject attributesAsJObject = dynamicToGetPropertiesFor;
    Dictionary<string, object> values = attributesAsJObject.ToObject<Dictionary<string, object>>();
    List<string> toReturn = new List<string>();
    foreach (string key in values.Keys)
    {
        toReturn.Add(key);                
    }
    return toReturn;
}

Then you simply foreach like this:

foreach(string propertyName in GetPropertyKeysForDynamic(dynamicToGetPropertiesFor))
{
    dynamic/object/string propertyValue = dynamicToGetPropertiesFor[propertyName];
    // And
    dynamicToGetPropertiesFor[propertyName] = "Your Value"; // Or an object value
}

Choosing to get the value as a string or some other object, or do another dynamic and use the lookup again.

MySQL Workbench - Connect to a Localhost

You need to install mysql server for your machine first. Once done, you will be able to add local db details to it.

Get the year from specified date php

You can use the strtotime and date functions like this:

echo date('Y', strtotime('2068-06-15'));

Note however that PHP can handle year upto 2038

You can test it out here

If your date is always in that format, you can also get the year like this:

$parts = explode('-', '2068-06-15');
echo $parts[0];

Using isKindOfClass with Swift

You can combine the check and cast into one statement:

let touch = object.anyObject() as UITouch
if let picker = touch.view as? UIPickerView {
    ...
}

Then you can use picker within the if block.

Apply CSS to jQuery Dialog Buttons

There is also a simple answer for defining specific styles that are only going to be applied to that specific button and you can have Jquery declare element style when declaring the dialog:

id: "button-delete",
text: "Delete",
style: "display: none;",
click: function () {}

after doing that here is what the html shows:

doing this allows you to set it, but it is not necessarily easy to change using jquery later.

Why does the Google Play store say my Android app is incompatible with my own device?

You might want to try and set the supports-screens attribute:

<supports-screens
    android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:xlargeScreens="true" >
</supports-screens>

The Wildfire has a small screen, and according to the documentation this attribute should default to "true" in all cases, but there are known issues with the supports-screens settings on different phones, so I would try this anyway.

Also - as David suggests - always compile and target against the most current version of the Android API, unless you have strong reasons not to. Pretty much every SDK prior to 2.2 has some serious issue or weird behavior; the latter SDK's help to resolve or cover up a lot (although not all) of them. You can (and should) use the Lint tool to check that your app remains compatible with API 4 when preparing a release.

Find the max of two or more columns with pandas

You can get the maximum like this:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1,2,3], "B": [-2, 8, 1]})
>>> df
   A  B
0  1 -2
1  2  8
2  3  1
>>> df[["A", "B"]]
   A  B
0  1 -2
1  2  8
2  3  1
>>> df[["A", "B"]].max(axis=1)
0    1
1    8
2    3

and so:

>>> df["C"] = df[["A", "B"]].max(axis=1)
>>> df
   A  B  C
0  1 -2  1
1  2  8  8
2  3  1  3

If you know that "A" and "B" are the only columns, you could even get away with

>>> df["C"] = df.max(axis=1)

And you could use .apply(max, axis=1) too, I guess.

Github: Can I see the number of downloads for a repo?

Here is a python solution using the pip install PyGithub package

for repo in g.get_user().get_repos():
    if repo.name == "yourreponame":
        releases = repo.get_releases()
        for i in releases:
            if i.tag_name == "yourtagname":
                for j in i.get_assets():
                    print("{} date: {} download count: {}".format(j.name, j.updated_at, j._download_count.value))

How to get the width of a react element

MySQL date formats - difficulty Inserting a date

An add-on to the previous answers since I came across this concern:

If you really want to insert something like 24-May-2005 to your DATE column, you could do something like this:

INSERT INTO someTable(Empid,Date_Joined)
VALUES
    ('S710',STR_TO_DATE('24-May-2005', '%d-%M-%Y'));

In the above query please note that if it's May(ie: the month in letters) the format should be %M.

NOTE: I tried this with the latest MySQL version 8.0 and it works!

Can pandas automatically recognize dates?

Perhaps the pandas interface has changed since @Rutger answered, but in the version I'm using (0.15.2), the date_parser function receives a list of dates instead of a single value. In this case, his code should be updated like so:

dateparse = lambda dates: [pd.datetime.strptime(d, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') for d in dates]

df = pd.read_csv(infile, parse_dates=['datetime'], date_parser=dateparse)

Can I replace groups in Java regex?

Add a third group by adding parens around .*, then replace the subsequence with "number" + m.group(2) + "1". e.g.:

String output = m.replaceFirst("number" + m.group(2) + "1");

Coerce multiple columns to factors at once

The more recent tidyverse way is to use the mutate_at function:

library(tidyverse)
library(magrittr)
set.seed(88)

data <- data.frame(matrix(sample(1:40), 4, 10, dimnames = list(1:4, LETTERS[1:10])))
cols <- c("A", "C", "D", "H")

data %<>% mutate_at(cols, funs(factor(.)))
str(data)
 $ A: Factor w/ 4 levels "5","17","18",..: 2 1 4 3   
 $ B: int  36 35 2 26
 $ C: Factor w/ 4 levels "22","31","32",..: 1 2 4 3
 $ D: Factor w/ 4 levels "1","9","16","39": 3 4 1 2
 $ E: int  3 14 30 38
 $ F: int  27 15 28 37
 $ G: int  19 11 6 21
 $ H: Factor w/ 4 levels "7","12","20",..: 1 3 4 2
 $ I: int  23 24 13 8
 $ J: int  10 25 4 33

Android TextView Justify Text

Convert generic List/Enumerable to DataTable?

If you want to use reflection and set columns order/ include only some columns/ Exclude some columns try this:

        private static DataTable ConvertToDataTable<T>(IList<T> data, string[] fieldsToInclude = null,
string[] fieldsToExclude = null)
    {
        PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(T));
        DataTable table = new DataTable();
        foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in properties)
        {
            if ((fieldsToInclude != null && !fieldsToInclude.Contains(prop.Name)) ||
                (fieldsToExclude != null && fieldsToExclude.Contains(prop.Name)))
                continue;
            table.Columns.Add(prop.Name, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType) ?? prop.PropertyType);
        }

        foreach (T item in data)
        {
            var atLeastOnePropertyExists = false;
            DataRow row = table.NewRow();
            foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in properties)
            {

                if ((fieldsToInclude != null && !fieldsToInclude.Contains(prop.Name)) ||
(fieldsToExclude != null && fieldsToExclude.Contains(prop.Name)))
                    continue;

                row[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(item) ?? DBNull.Value;
                atLeastOnePropertyExists = true;
            }

            if(atLeastOnePropertyExists) table.Rows.Add(row);
        }


        if (fieldsToInclude != null)
            SetColumnsOrder(table, fieldsToInclude);

        return table;

    }

    private static void SetColumnsOrder(DataTable table, params String[] columnNames)
    {
        int columnIndex = 0;
        foreach (var columnName in columnNames)
        {
            table.Columns[columnName].SetOrdinal(columnIndex);
            columnIndex++;
        }
    }

Setting up a JavaScript variable from Spring model by using Thymeleaf

If you need to display your variable unescaped, use this format:

<script th:inline="javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/

    var message = /*[(${message})]*/ 'default';

/*]]>*/
</script>

Note the [( brackets which wrap the variable.

Decoding a Base64 string in Java

Commonly base64 it is used for images. if you like to decode an image (jpg in this example with org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 package):

byte[] decoded = Base64.decodeBase64(imageJpgInBase64);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
fos = new FileOutputStream("C:\\output\\image.jpg");
fos.write(decoded);
fos.close();

Split and join C# string

You can use string.Split and string.Join:

string theString = "Some Very Large String Here";
var array = theString.Split(' ');
string firstElem = array.First();
string restOfArray = string.Join(" ", array.Skip(1));

If you know you always only want to split off the first element, you can use:

var array = theString.Split(' ', 2);

This makes it so you don't have to join:

string restOfArray = array[1];

Using Ajax.BeginForm with ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor

I think that all the answers missed a crucial point:

If you use the Ajax form so that it needs to update itself (and NOT another div outside of the form) then you need to put the containing div OUTSIDE of the form. For example:

 <div id="target">
 @using (Ajax.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController",
            new AjaxOptions
            {
                HttpMethod = "POST",
                InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
                UpdateTargetId = "target"
            }))
 {
      <!-- whatever -->
 }
 </div>

Otherwise you will end like @David where the result is displayed in a new page.

Angular 2 Unit Tests: Cannot find name 'describe'

In my case, I was getting this error when I serve the app, not when testing. I didn't realise I had a different configuration setting in my tsconfig.app.json file.

I previously had this:

{
  ...
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.ts"
  ]
}

It was including all my .spec.ts files when serving the app. I changed the include property toexclude` and added a regex to exclude all test files like this:

{
  ...
  "exclude": [
    "**/*.spec.ts",
    "**/__mocks__"
  ]
}

Now it works as expected.

Vue.js toggle class on click

If you need more than 1 class

You can do this:

<i id="icon" 
  v-bind:class="{ 'fa fa-star': showStar }"
  v-on:click="showStar = !showStar"
  >
</i> 

data: {
  showStar: true
}

Notice the single quotes ' around the classes!

Thanks to everyone else's solutions.

How do I edit SSIS package files?

From Business Intelligence Studio:

File->New Project->Integration Services Project

Now in solution explorer there is a SSIS Packages folder, right click it and select "Add Existing Package", and there will be a drop down that can be changed to File System, and the very bottom box allows you to browse to the file. Note that this will copy the file from where ever it is into the project's directory structure.

Saving a high resolution image in R

You can do the following. Add your ggplot code after the first line of code and end with dev.off().

tiff("test.tiff", units="in", width=5, height=5, res=300)
# insert ggplot code
dev.off()

res=300 specifies that you need a figure with a resolution of 300 dpi. The figure file named 'test.tiff' is saved in your working directory.

Change width and height in the code above depending on the desired output.

Note that this also works for other R plots including plot, image, and pheatmap.

Other file formats

In addition to TIFF, you can easily use other image file formats including JPEG, BMP, and PNG. Some of these formats require less memory for saving.

Spring Boot: Unable to start EmbeddedWebApplicationContext due to missing EmbeddedServletContainerFactory bean

In my case it happen after excluding the resource folder from the pom using the following code.

</resources>

Objects are not valid as a React child. If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead

Well in my case the data which I wanted to render contained an Object inside that of the array so due to this it was giving error, so for other people out there please check your data also once and if it contains an object, you need to convert it to array to print all of its values or if you need a specific value then use.

My data :

How can I generate UUID in C#

Be careful: while the string representations for .NET Guid and (RFC4122) UUID are identical, the storage format is not. .NET trades in little-endian bytes for the first three Guid parts.

If you are transmitting the bytes (for example, as base64), you can't just use Guid.ToByteArray() and encode it. You'll need to Array.Reverse the first three parts (Data1-3).

I do it this way:

var rfc4122bytes = Convert.FromBase64String("aguidthatIgotonthewire==");
Array.Reverse(rfc4122bytes,0,4);
Array.Reverse(rfc4122bytes,4,2);
Array.Reverse(rfc4122bytes,6,2);
var guid = new Guid(rfc4122bytes);

See this answer for the specific .NET implementation details.

Edit: Thanks to Jeff Walker, Code Ranger, for pointing out that the internals are not relevant to the format of the byte array that goes in and out of the byte-array constructor and ToByteArray().

Java maximum memory on Windows XP

The Java heap size limits for Windows are:

maximum possible heap size on 32-bit Java: 1.8 GB
recommended heap size limit on 32-bit Java: 1.5 GB (or 1.8 GB with /3GB option)

This doesn't help you getting a bigger Java heap, but now you know you can't go beyond these values.

MySQL: ignore errors when importing?

Use the --force (-f) flag on your mysql import. Rather than stopping on the offending statement, MySQL will continue and just log the errors to the console.

For example:

mysql -u userName -p -f -D dbName < script.sql

MySQL Error: #1142 - SELECT command denied to user

I had this problem too and for me, the problem was that I moved to a new server and the database I was trying to connect to with my PHP code changed from "my_Database" to "my_database".

android activity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.phonewindow$decorview Issue

Thank you Guys to give me many suggestions. Finally I got a solution. That is i have started the NetErrorPage intent two times. One time, i have checked the net connection availability and started the intent in page started event. second time, if the page has error, then i have started the intent in OnReceivedError event. So the first time dialog is not closed, before that the second dialog is called. So that i got a error.

Reason for the Error: I have called the showInfoMessageDialog method two times before closing the first one.

Now I have removed the second call and Cleared error :-).

Excel plot time series frequency with continuous xaxis

You can get good Time Series graphs in Excel, the way you want, but you have to work with a few quirks.

Be sure to select "Scatter Graph" (with a line option). This is needed if you have non-uniform time stamps, and will scale the X-axis accordingly.
In your data, you need to add a column with the mid-point. Here's what I did with your sample data. (This trick ensures that the data gets plotted at the mid-point, like you desire.)
You can format the x-axis options with this menu. (Chart->Design->Layout)
Select "Axes" and go to Primary Horizontal Axis, and then select "More Primary Horizontal Axis Options"
Set up the options you wish. (Fix the starting and ending points.)
And you will get a graph such as the one below.

You can then tweak many of the options, label the axes better etc, but this should get you started.

Hope this helps you move forward.

Difference between app.use and app.get in express.js

In addition to the above explanations, what I experience:

app.use('/book', handler);

will match all requests beginning with '/book' as URL. so it also matches '/book/1' or '/book/2'

app.get('/book')

matches only GET request with exact match. It will not handle URLs like '/book/1' or '/book/2'

So, if you want a global handler that handles all of your routes, then app.use('/') is the option. app.get('/') will handle only the root URL.

How to display a Windows Form in full screen on top of the taskbar?

This is how I make forms full screen.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int minx, miny, maxx, maxy;
    inx = miny = int.MaxValue;
    maxx = maxy = int.MinValue;

    foreach (Screen screen in Screen.AllScreens)
    {
        var bounds = screen.Bounds;
        minx = Math.Min(minx, bounds.X);
        miny = Math.Min(miny, bounds.Y);
        maxx = Math.Max(maxx, bounds.Right);
        maxy = Math.Max(maxy, bounds.Bottom);
    }

    Form3 fs = new Form3();
    fs.Activate();
    Rectangle tempRect = new Rectangle(1, 0, maxx, maxy);
    this.DesktopBounds = tempRect;
}

How to use this boolean in an if statement?

Since stop is boolean you can change that part to:

//...
if(stop) // Or to: if (stop == true)
{
   sb.append("y");
   getWhoozitYs();
}
return sb.toString();
//...

Daylight saving time and time zone best practices

Here is my experience:-

(Does not require any third-party library)

On server-side, store times in UTC format so that all date/time values in database are in a single standard regardless of location of users, servers, timezones or DST.
On the UI layer or in emails sent out to user, you need to show times according to user. For that matter, you need to have user's timezone offset so that you can add this offset to your database's UTC value which will result in user's local time. You can either take user's timezone offset when they are signing up or you can auto-detect them in web and mobile platforms. For websites, JavaScript's function getTimezoneOffset() method is a standard since version 1.0 and compatible with all browsers. (Ref: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_getTimezoneOffset.asp)

Switch statement fallthrough in C#?

(Copy/paste of an answer I provided elsewhere)

Falling through switch-cases can be achieved by having no code in a case (see case 0), or using the special goto case (see case 1) or goto default (see case 2) forms:

switch (/*...*/) {
    case 0: // shares the exact same code as case 1
    case 1:
        // do something
        goto case 2;
    case 2:
        // do something else
        goto default;
    default:
        // do something entirely different
        break;
}

Python UTC datetime object's ISO format doesn't include Z (Zulu or Zero offset)

>>> import arrow

>>> now = arrow.utcnow().format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSS')
>>> now
'2018-11-28T21:34:59.235'
>>> zulu = "{}Z".format(now)
>>> zulu
'2018-11-28T21:34:59.235Z'

Or, to get it in one fell swoop:

>>> zulu = "{}Z".format(arrow.utcnow().format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSS'))
>>> zulu
'2018-11-28T21:54:49.639Z'

JOptionPane - input dialog box program

Why to annoy the user with three different Dialog Boxes to enter things, why not do all this in one go in a single Dialog and save time, instead of testing the patience of the USER ?

You can add everything in a single Dialog, by putting all the fields on your JPanel and then adding this JPanel to your JOptionPane. Below code can clarify a bit more :

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class AverageExample
{
    private double[] marks;
    private JTextField[] marksField;
    private JLabel resultLabel;

    public AverageExample()
    {
        marks = new double[3];
        marksField = new JTextField[3];
        marksField[0] = new JTextField(10);
        marksField[1] = new JTextField(10);
        marksField[2] = new JTextField(10);
    }

    private void displayGUI()
    {
        int selection = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
                null, getPanel(), "Input Form : "
                                , JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION
                                , JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

        if (selection == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) 
        {
            for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
            {
                marks[i] = Double.valueOf(marksField[i].getText());             
            }
            Arrays.sort(marks);
            double average = (marks[1] + marks[2]) / 2.0;
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null
                    , "Average is : " + Double.toString(average)
                    , "Average : "
                    , JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
        }
        else if (selection == JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION)
        {
            // Do something here.
        }
    }

        centerPanel.setBorder(
            BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
        centerPanel.setOpaque(true);
        centerPanel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);

        JLabel mLabel1 = new JLabel("Enter Marks 1 : ");
        JLabel mLabel2 = new JLabel("Enter Marks 2 : ");
        JLabel mLabel3 = new JLabel("Enter Marks 3 : ");

        centerPanel.add(mLabel1);
        centerPanel.add(marksField[0]);
        centerPanel.add(mLabel2);
        centerPanel.add(marksField[1]);
        centerPanel.add(mLabel3);
        centerPanel.add(marksField[2]);

        basePanel.add(centerPanel);

        return basePanel;
    }

Forward slash in Java Regex

The problem is actually that you need to double-escape backslashes in the replacement string. You see, "\\/" (as I'm sure you know) means the replacement string is \/, and (as you probably don't know) the replacement string \/ actually just inserts /, because Java is weird, and gives \ a special meaning in the replacement string. (It's supposedly so that \$ will be a literal dollar sign, but I think the real reason is that they wanted to mess with people. Other languages don't do it this way.) So you have to write either:

"Hello/You/There".replaceAll("/", "\\\\/");

or:

"Hello/You/There".replaceAll("/", Matcher.quoteReplacement("\\/"));

(Using java.util.regex.Matcher.quoteReplacement(String).)

What's with the dollar sign ($"string")

String Interpolation

is a concept that languages like Perl have had for quite a while, and now we’ll get this ability in C# as well. In String Interpolation, we simply prefix the string with a $ (much like we use the @ for verbatim strings). Then, we simply surround the expressions we want to interpolate with curly braces (i.e. { and }):

It looks a lot like the String.Format() placeholders, but instead of an index, it is the expression itself inside the curly braces. In fact, it shouldn’t be a surprise that it looks like String.Format() because that’s really all it is – syntactical sugar that the compiler treats like String.Format() behind the scenes.

A great part is, the compiler now maintains the placeholders for you so you don’t have to worry about indexing the right argument because you simply place it right there in the string.

C# string interpolation is a method of concatenating,formatting and manipulating strings. This feature was introduced in C# 6.0. Using string interpolation, we can use objects and expressions as a part of the string interpolation operation.

Syntax of string interpolation starts with a ‘$’ symbol and expressions are defined within a bracket {} using the following syntax.

{<interpolatedExpression>[,<alignment>][:<formatString>]}

Where:

interpolatedExpression - The expression that produces a result to be formatted
alignment - The constant expression whose value defines the minimum number of characters in the string representation of the result of the interpolated expression. If positive, the string representation is right-aligned; if negative, it's left-aligned.
formatString - A format string that is supported by the type of the expression result.

The following code example concatenates a string where an object, author as a part of the string interpolation.

string author = "Mohit";  
string hello = $"Hello {author} !";  
Console.WriteLine(hello);  // Hello Mohit !

Spring Boot - inject map from application.yml

I run into the same problem today, but unfortunately Andy's solution didn't work for me. In Spring Boot 1.2.1.RELEASE it's even easier, but you have to be aware of a few things.

Here is the interesting part from my application.yml:

oauth:
  providers:
    google:
     api: org.scribe.builder.api.Google2Api
     key: api_key
     secret: api_secret
     callback: http://callback.your.host/oauth/google

providers map contains only one map entry, my goal is to provide dynamic configuration for other OAuth providers. I want to inject this map into a service that will initialize services based on the configuration provided in this yaml file. My initial implementation was:

@Service
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = 'oauth')
class OAuth2ProvidersService implements InitializingBean {

    private Map<String, Map<String, String>> providers = [:]

    @Override
    void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
       initialize()
    }

    private void initialize() {
       //....
    }
}

After starting the application, providers map in OAuth2ProvidersService was not initialized. I tried the solution suggested by Andy, but it didn't work as well. I use Groovy in that application, so I decided to remove private and let Groovy generates getter and setter. So my code looked like this:

@Service
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = 'oauth')
class OAuth2ProvidersService implements InitializingBean {

    Map<String, Map<String, String>> providers = [:]

    @Override
    void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
       initialize()
    }

    private void initialize() {
       //....
    }
}

After that small change everything worked.

Although there is one thing that might be worth mentioning. After I make it working I decided to make this field private and provide setter with straight argument type in the setter method. Unfortunately it wont work that. It causes org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException with message:

Invalid property 'providers[google]' of bean class [com.zinvoice.user.service.OAuth2ProvidersService]: Cannot access indexed value in property referenced in indexed property path 'providers[google]'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'providers[google]' of bean class [com.zinvoice.user.service.OAuth2ProvidersService]: Bean property 'providers[google]' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

Keep it in mind if you're using Groovy in your Spring Boot application.

how to merge 200 csv files in Python

It depends what you mean by "merging" -- do they have the same columns? Do they have headers? For example, if they all have the same columns, and no headers, simple concatenation is sufficient (open the destination file for writing, loop over the sources opening each for reading, use shutil.copyfileobj from the open-for-reading source into the open-for-writing destination, close the source, keep looping -- use the with statement to do the closing on your behalf). If they have the same columns, but also headers, you'll need a readline on each source file except the first, after you open it for reading before you copy it into the destination, to skip the headers line.

If the CSV files don't all have the same columns then you need to define in what sense you're "merging" them (like a SQL JOIN? or "horizontally" if they all have the same number of lines? etc, etc) -- it's hard for us to guess what you mean in that case.

Uploading both data and files in one form using Ajax?

For me, it didn't work without enctype: 'multipart/form-data' field in the Ajax request. I hope it helps someone who is stuck in a similar problem.

Even though the enctype was already set in the form attribute, for some reason, the Ajax request didn't automatically identify the enctype without explicit declaration (jQuery 3.3.1).

// Tested, this works for me (jQuery 3.3.1)

fileUploadForm.submit(function (e) {   
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: $(this).attr('action'),
            enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
            data: new FormData(this),
            processData: false,
            contentType: false,
            success: function (data) {
                console.log('Thank God it worked!');
            }
        }
    );
});

// enctype field was set in the form but Ajax request didn't set it by default.

<form action="process/file-upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" >

     <input type="file" name="input-file" accept="text/plain" required> 
     ...
</form>

As others mentioned above, please also pay special attention to the contentType and processData fields.

Split a List into smaller lists of N size

I find accepted answer (Serj-Tm) most robust, but I'd like to suggest a generic version.

public static List<List<T>> splitList<T>(List<T> locations, int nSize = 30)
{
    var list = new List<List<T>>();

    for (int i = 0; i < locations.Count; i += nSize)
    {
        list.Add(locations.GetRange(i, Math.Min(nSize, locations.Count - i)));
    }

    return list;
}

How to reference a method in javadoc?

you can use @see to do that:

sample:

interface View {
        /**
         * @return true: have read contact and call log permissions, else otherwise
         * @see #requestReadContactAndCallLogPermissions()
         */
        boolean haveReadContactAndCallLogPermissions();

        /**
         * if not have permissions, request to user for allow
         * @see #haveReadContactAndCallLogPermissions()
         */
        void requestReadContactAndCallLogPermissions();
    }

Difference between Divide and Conquer Algo and Dynamic Programming

Divide and Conquer involves three steps at each level of recursion:

Divide the problem into subproblems.
Conquer the subproblems by solving them recursively.
Combine the solution for subproblems into the solution for original problem.
- It is a top-down approach.
- It does more work on subproblems and hence has more time consumption.
- eg. n-th term of Fibonacci series can be computed in O(2^n) time complexity.

Dynamic Programming involves the following four steps:

1. Characterise the structure of optimal solutions.
2. Recursively define the values of optimal solutions.
3. Compute the value of optimal solutions.
4. Construct an Optimal Solution from computed information.

It is a Bottom-up approach.
Less time consumption than divide and conquer since we make use of the values computed earlier, rather than computing again.
eg. n-th term of Fibonacci series can be computed in O(n) time complexity.

For easier understanding, lets see divide and conquer as a brute force solution and its optimisation as dynamic programming.

N.B. divide and conquer algorithms with overlapping subproblems can only be optimised with dp.

How can I extract the folder path from file path in Python?

How to use bootstrap-theme.css with bootstrap 3?

First, bootstrap-theme.css is nothing else but equivalent of Bootstrap 2.x style in Bootstrap 3. If you really want to use it, just add it ALONG with bootstrap.css (minified version will work too).

Android - Share on Facebook, Twitter, Mail, ecc

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, ""));

Why is “while ( !feof (file) )” always wrong?

feof() indicates if one has tried to read past the end of file. That means it has little predictive effect: if it is true, you are sure that the next input operation will fail (you aren't sure the previous one failed BTW), but if it is false, you aren't sure the next input operation will succeed. More over, input operations may fail for other reasons than the end of file (a format error for formatted input, a pure IO failure -- disk failure, network timeout -- for all input kinds), so even if you could be predictive about the end of file (and anybody who has tried to implement Ada one, which is predictive, will tell you it can complex if you need to skip spaces, and that it has undesirable effects on interactive devices -- sometimes forcing the input of the next line before starting the handling of the previous one), you would have to be able to handle a failure.

So the correct idiom in C is to loop with the IO operation success as loop condition, and then test the cause of the failure. For instance:

while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), file)) {
    /* note that fgets don't strip the terminating \n, checking its
       presence allow to handle lines longer that sizeof(line), not showed here */
    ...
}
if (ferror(file)) {
   /* IO failure */
} else if (feof(file)) {
   /* format error (not possible with fgets, but would be with fscanf) or end of file */
} else {
   /* format error (not possible with fgets, but would be with fscanf) */
}

Show/Hide the console window of a C# console application

Why do you need a console application if you want to hide console itself? =)

I recommend setting Project Output type to Windows Application instead of Console application. It will not show you console window, but execute all actions, like Console application do.

Windows equivalent of OS X Keychain?

Credential dumping on Windows, even with "Credential Manager" is still an issue, and I don't think there is any way to prevent it outside of special hardware. MacOS keychain doesn't have this problem and so I don't think there is an exact equivalent.

How do I handle the window close event in Tkinter?

Depending on the Tkinter activity, and especially when using Tkinter.after, stopping this activity with destroy() -- even by using protocol(), a button, etc. -- will disturb this activity ("while executing" error) rather than just terminate it. The best solution in almost every case is to use a flag. Here is a simple, silly example of how to use it (although I am certain that most of you don't need it! :)

from Tkinter import *

def close_window():
  global running
  running = False  # turn off while loop
  print( "Window closed")

root = Tk()
root.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", close_window)
cv = Canvas(root, width=200, height=200)
cv.pack()

running = True;
# This is an endless loop stopped only by setting 'running' to 'False'
while running: 
  for i in range(200): 
    if not running: 
        break
    cv.create_oval(i, i, i+1, i+1)
    root.update()

This terminates graphics activity nicely. You only need to check running at the right place(s).

Convert List<Object> to String[] in Java

If we are very sure that List<Object> will contain collection of String, then probably try this.

List<Object> lst = new ArrayList<Object>();
lst.add("sample");
lst.add("simple");
String[] arr = lst.toArray(new String[] {});
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(arr));

Convert laravel object to array

Just in case somebody still lands here looking for an answer. It can be done using plain PHP. An easier way is to reverse-json the object.

How to fix Python indentation

On most UNIX-like systems, you can also run:

expand -t4 oldfilename.py > newfilename.py

from the command line, changing the number if you want to replace tabs with a number of spaces other than 4. You can easily write a shell script to do this with a bunch of files at once, retaining the original file names.

ERROR: Sonar server 'http://localhost:9000' can not be reached

For me the issue was that the maven sonar plugin was using proxy servers defined in the maven settings.xml. I was trying to access the sonarque on another (not localhost alias) and so it was trying to use the proxy server to access it. Just added my alias to nonProxyHosts in settings.xml and it is working now. I did not face this issue in maven sonar plugin 3.2, only after i upgraded it.

Best way to change font colour halfway through paragraph?

<span> will allow you to style text, but it adds no semantic content.

As you're emphasizing some text, it sounds like you'd be better served by wrapping the text in <em></em> and using CSS to change the color of the <em> element. For example:

CSS

.description {
  color: #fff;
}

.description em {
  color: #ffa500;
}

Markup

<p class="description">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 
adipiscing elit. Sed hendrerit mollis varius. Etiam ornare placerat 
massa, <em>eget vulputate tellus fermentum.</em></p>

In fact, I'd go to great pains to avoid the <span> element, as it's completely meaningless to everything that doesn't render your style sheet (bots, screen readers, luddites who disable styles, parsers, etc.) or renders it in unexpected ways (personal style sheets). In many ways, it's no better than using the <font> element.

_x000D_

.description {_x000D_
  color: #000;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.description em {_x000D_
  color: #ffa500;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<p class="description">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur _x000D_
adipiscing elit. Sed hendrerit mollis varius. Etiam ornare placerat _x000D_
massa, <em>eget vulputate tellus fermentum.</em></p>

Checking if an object is null in C#

No, you should be using !=. If data is actually null then your program will just crash with a NullReferenceException as a result of attempting to call the Equals method on null. Also realize that, if you specifically want to check for reference equality, you should use the Object.ReferenceEquals method as you never know how Equals has been implemented.

Your program is crashing because dataList is null as you never initialize it.

How do I assign a port mapping to an existing Docker container?

You can change the port mapping by directly editing the hostconfig.json file at /var/lib/docker/containers/[hash_of_the_container]/hostconfig.json or /var/snap/docker/common/var-lib-docker/containers/[hash_of_the_container]/hostconfig.json, I believe, if You installed Docker as a snap.

You can determine the [hash_of_the_container] via the docker inspect <container_name> command and the value of the "Id" field is the hash.

Stop the container (docker stop <container_name>).
Stop docker service (per Tacsiazuma's comment)
Change the file.
Restart your docker engine (to flush/clear config caches).
Start the container (docker start <container_name>).

So you don't need to create an image with this approach. You can also change the restart flag here.

P.S. You may visit https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/ to learn how to correctly restart your docker engine as per your host machine. I used sudo systemctl restart docker to restart my docker engine that is running on Ubuntu 16.04.

How to extract numbers from string in c?

Notification Icon with the new Firebase Cloud Messaging system

My solution is similar to ATom's one, but easier to implement. You don't need to create a class that shadows FirebaseMessagingService completely, you can just override the method that receives the Intent (which is public, at least in version 9.6.1) and take the information to be displayed from the extras. The "hacky" part is that the method name is indeed obfuscated and is gonna change every time you update the Firebase sdk to a new version, but you can look it up quickly by inspecting FirebaseMessagingService with Android Studio and looking for a public method that takes an Intent as the only parameter. In version 9.6.1 it's called zzm. Here's how my service looks like:

public class MyNotificationService extends FirebaseMessagingService {

    public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
        // do nothing
    }

    @Override
    public void zzm(Intent intent) {
        Intent launchIntent = new Intent(this, SplashScreenActivity.class);
        launchIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
        launchIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* R    equest code */, launchIntent,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
        Bitmap rawBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
                .setLargeIcon(rawBitmap)
                .setContentTitle(intent.getStringExtra("gcm.notification.title"))
                .setContentText(intent.getStringExtra("gcm.notification.body"))
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        NotificationManager notificationManager =
                (NotificationManager)     getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
    }
}

Plotting a python dict in order of key values

Python dictionaries are unordered. If you want an ordered dictionary, use collections.OrderedDict

In your case, sort the dict by key before plotting,

import matplotlib.pylab as plt

lists = sorted(d.items()) # sorted by key, return a list of tuples

x, y = zip(*lists) # unpack a list of pairs into two tuples

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

Here is the result.

How to manage startActivityForResult on Android?

Very common problem in android
It can be broken down into 3 Pieces
1 ) start Activity B (Happens in Activity A)
2 ) Set requested data (Happens in activity B)
3 ) Receive requested data (Happens in activity A)

1) startActivity B

Intent i = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
startActivity(i);

2) Set requested data

In this part, you decide whether you want to send data back or not when a particular event occurs.
Eg: In activity B there is an EditText and two buttons b1, b2.
Clicking on Button b1 sends data back to activity A
Clicking on Button b2 does not send any data.

Sending data

b1......clickListener
{
   Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
   resultIntent.putExtra("Your_key","Your_value");
   setResult(RES_CODE_A,resultIntent);
   finish();
}

Not sending data

b2......clickListener
    {
       setResult(RES_CODE_B,new Intent());
       finish();
    }

user clicks back button
By default, the result is set with Activity.RESULT_CANCEL response code

3) Retrieve result

For that override onActivityResult method

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if (resultCode == RES_CODE_A) {

     // b1 was clicked 
   String x = data.getStringExtra("RES_CODE_A");

}
else if(resultCode == RES_CODE_B){

   // b2 was clicked

}
else{
   // back button clicked 
}
}

How do you use the Immediate Window in Visual Studio?

The Immediate window is used to debug and evaluate expressions, execute statements, print variable values, and so forth. It allows you to enter expressions to be evaluated or executed by the development language during debugging.

To display Immediate Window, choose Debug >Windows >Immediate or press Ctrl-Alt-I

Here is an example with Immediate Window:

int Sum(int x, int y) { return (x + y);}
void main(){
int a, b, c;
a = 5;
b = 7;
c = Sum(a, b);
char temp = getchar();}

add breakpoint

Creating a 3D sphere in Opengl using Visual C++

I don't understand how can datenwolf`s index generation can be correct. But still I find his solution rather clear. This is what I get after some thinking:

inline void push_indices(vector<GLushort>& indices, int sectors, int r, int s) {
    int curRow = r * sectors;
    int nextRow = (r+1) * sectors;

    indices.push_back(curRow + s);
    indices.push_back(nextRow + s);
    indices.push_back(nextRow + (s+1));

    indices.push_back(curRow + s);
    indices.push_back(nextRow + (s+1));
    indices.push_back(curRow + (s+1));
}

void createSphere(vector<vec3>& vertices, vector<GLushort>& indices, vector<vec2>& texcoords,
             float radius, unsigned int rings, unsigned int sectors)
{
    float const R = 1./(float)(rings-1);
    float const S = 1./(float)(sectors-1);

    for(int r = 0; r < rings; ++r) {
        for(int s = 0; s < sectors; ++s) {
            float const y = sin( -M_PI_2 + M_PI * r * R );
            float const x = cos(2*M_PI * s * S) * sin( M_PI * r * R );
            float const z = sin(2*M_PI * s * S) * sin( M_PI * r * R );

            texcoords.push_back(vec2(s*S, r*R));
            vertices.push_back(vec3(x,y,z) * radius);
            push_indices(indices, sectors, r, s);
        }
    }
}

Powershell Get-ChildItem most recent file in directory

If you want the latest file in the directory and you are using only the LastWriteTime to determine the latest file, you can do something like below:

gci path | sort LastWriteTime | select -last 1

On the other hand, if you want to only rely on the names that have the dates in them, you should be able to something similar

gci path | select -last 1

Also, if there are directories in the directory, you might want to add a ?{-not $_.PsIsContainer}

Java method to swap primitives

It depends on what you want to do. This code swaps two elements of an array.

void swap(int i, int j, int[] arr) {
  int t = arr[i];
  arr[i] = arr[j];
  arr[j] = t;
}

Something like this swaps the content of two int[] of equal length.

void swap(int[] arr1, int[] arr2) {
  int[] t = arr1.clone();
  System.arraycopy(arr2, 0, arr1, 0, t.length);
  System.arraycopy(t, 0, arr2, 0, t.length);
}

Something like this swaps the content of two BitSet (using the XOR swap algorithm):

void swap(BitSet s1, BitSet s2) {
  s1.xor(s2);
  s2.xor(s1);
  s1.xor(s2);
}

Something like this swaps the x and y fields of some Point class:

void swapXY(Point p) {
  int t = p.x;
  p.x = p.y;
  p.y = t;
}

What is resource-ref in web.xml used for?

You can always refer to resources in your application directly by their JNDI name as configured in the container, but if you do so, essentially you are wiring the container-specific name into your code. This has some disadvantages, for example, if you'll ever want to change the name later for some reason, you'll need to update all the references in all your applications, and then rebuild and redeploy them.

<resource-ref> introduces another layer of indirection: you specify the name you want to use in the web.xml, and, depending on the container, provide a binding in a container-specific configuration file.

So here's what happens: let's say you want to lookup the java:comp/env/jdbc/primaryDB name. The container finds that web.xml has a <resource-ref> element for jdbc/primaryDB, so it will look into the container-specific configuration, that contains something similar to the following:

<resource-ref>
  <res-ref-name>jdbc/primaryDB</res-ref-name>
  <jndi-name>jdbc/PrimaryDBInTheContainer</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>

Finally, it returns the object registered under the name of jdbc/PrimaryDBInTheContainer.

The idea is that specifying resources in the web.xml has the advantage of separating the developer role from the deployer role. In other words, as a developer, you don't have to know what your required resources are actually called in production, and as the guy deploying the application, you will have a nice list of names to map to real resources.

How to ignore a particular directory or file for tslint?

Currently using Visual Studio Code and the command to disable tslint is

/* tslint:disable */

Something to note. The disable above disables ALL tslint rules on that page. If you want to disable a specific rule you can specify one/multiple rules.

/* tslint:disable comment-format */
/* tslint:disable:rule1 rule2 rule3 etc.. */

Or enable a rule

/* tslint:enable comment-format */

Android WebView, how to handle redirects in app instead of opening a browser

        // do your handling codes here, which url is the requested url
        // probably you need to open that url rather than redirect:
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return false; // then it is not handled by default action
   }
});

how to delete all cookies of my website in php

Use the function to clear cookies:

function clearCookies($clearSession = false)
{
    $past = time() - 3600;
    if ($clearSession === false)
        $sessionId = session_id();
    foreach ($_COOKIE as $key => $value)
    {
        if ($clearSession !== false || $value !== $sessionId)
            setcookie($key, $value, $past, '/');
    }
}

If you pass true then it clears session data, otherwise session data is preserved.

How do I automatically play a Youtube video (IFrame API) muted?

Youtube don't provide muting through url parameter (see http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html).

You have to use javascript for that. see http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html for details.

However, please note the warning on the page linked above: "The deprecation of the YouTube JavaScript Player API was announced on January 27, 2015. YouTube Flash embeds have also been deprecated. See the deprecation policy for more information.

How to set a Header field on POST a form?

To add into every ajax request, I have answered it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58964440/1909708

To add into particular ajax requests, this' how I implemented:

var token_value = $("meta[name='_csrf']").attr("content");
var token_header = $("meta[name='_csrf_header']").attr("content");
$.ajax("some-endpoint.do", {
 method: "POST",
 beforeSend: function(xhr) {
  xhr.setRequestHeader(token_header, token_value);
 },
 data: {form_field: $("#form_field").val()},
 success: doSomethingFunction,
 dataType: "json"
});

You must add the meta elements in the JSP, e.g.

<html>
<head>        
    <!-- default header name is X-CSRF-TOKEN -->
    <meta name="_csrf_header" content="${_csrf.headerName}"/>
    <meta name="_csrf" content="${_csrf.token}"/>

What encoding/code page is cmd.exe using?

Type

chcp

to see your current code page (as Dewfy already said).

Use

nlsinfo

to see all installed code pages and find out what your code page number means.

You need to have Windows Server 2003 Resource kit installed (works on Windows XP) to use nlsinfo.

Python - Join with newline

You need to print to get that output.
You should do

>>> x = "\n".join(['I', 'would', 'expect', 'multiple', 'lines'])
>>> x                   # this is the value, returned by the join() function
'I\nwould\nexpect\nmultiple\nlines'
>>> print x    # this prints your string (the type of output you want)
I
would
expect
multiple
lines

How can I do a line break (line continuation) in Python?

From PEP 8 -- Style Guide for Python Code:

The preferred way of wrapping long lines is by using Python's implied line continuation inside parentheses, brackets and braces. Long lines can be broken over multiple lines by wrapping expressions in parentheses. These should be used in preference to using a backslash for line continuation.

Backslashes may still be appropriate at times. For example, long, multiple with-statements cannot use implicit continuation, so backslashes are acceptable:
with open('/path/to/some/file/you/want/to/read') as file_1, \
        open('/path/to/some/file/being/written', 'w') as file_2:
    file_2.write(file_1.read())
Another such case is with assert statements.

Make sure to indent the continued line appropriately. The preferred place to break around a binary operator is after the operator, not before it. Some examples:
class Rectangle(Blob):

    def __init__(self, width, height,
                 color='black', emphasis=None, highlight=0):
        if (width == 0 and height == 0 and
                color == 'red' and emphasis == 'strong' or
                highlight > 100):
            raise ValueError("sorry, you lose")
        if width == 0 and height == 0 and (color == 'red' or
                                           emphasis is None):
            raise ValueError("I don't think so -- values are %s, %s" %
                             (width, height))
        Blob.__init__(self, width, height,
                      color, emphasis, highlight)

PEP8 now recommends the opposite convention (for breaking at binary operations) used by mathematicians and their publishers to improve readability.

Donald Knuth's style of breaking before a binary operator aligns operators vertically, thus reducing the eye's workload when determining which items are added and subtracted.

From PEP8: Should a line break before or after a binary operator?:

Donald Knuth explains the traditional rule in his Computers and Typesetting series: "Although formulas within a paragraph always break after binary operations and relations, displayed formulas always break before binary operations"[3].

Following the tradition from mathematics usually results in more readable code:
# Yes: easy to match operators with operands
income = (gross_wages
          + taxable_interest
          + (dividends - qualified_dividends)
          - ira_deduction
          - student_loan_interest)
In Python code, it is permissible to break before or after a binary operator, as long as the convention is consistent locally. For new code Knuth's style is suggested.

How can I style an Android Switch?

You can customize material styles by setting different color properties. For example custom application theme

<style name="CustomAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimaryDisableOnly">#00838f</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">#e91e63</item>
</style>

Custom switch theme

<style name="MySwitch" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.Switch">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimaryDisableOnly">#b71c1c</item>
    <item name="android:colorControlActivated">#1b5e20</item>
    <item name="android:colorForeground">#f57f17</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat</item>
</style>

You can customize switch track and switch thumb like below image by defining xml drawables. For more information http://www.zoftino.com/android-switch-button-and-custom-switch-examples

How to detect if a browser is Chrome using jQuery?

Sadly due to Opera's latest update !!window.chrome (and other tests on the window object) when testing in Opera returns true.

Conditionizr takes care of this for you and solves the Opera issue:

conditionizr.add('chrome', [], function () {
    return !!window.chrome && !/opera|opr/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
});

I'd highly suggest using it as none of the above are now valid.

This allows you to do:

if (conditionizr.chrome) {...}

Conditionizr takes care of other browser detects and is much faster and reliable than jQuery hacks.

RandomForestClassfier.fit(): ValueError: could not convert string to float

You have to do some encoding before using fit. As it was told fit() does not accept Strings but you solve this.

There are several classes that can be used :

LabelEncoder : turn your string into incremental value
OneHotEncoder : use One-of-K algorithm to transform your String into integer

Personally I have post almost the same question on StackOverflow some time ago. I wanted to have a scalable solution but didn't get any answer. I selected OneHotEncoder that binarize all the strings. It is quite effective but if you have a lot different strings the matrix will grow very quickly and memory will be required.

How does System.out.print() work?

I think you are confused with the printf(String format, Object... args) method. The first argument is the format string, which is mandatory, rest you can pass an arbitrary number of Objects.

There is no such overload for both the print() and println() methods.

Bloomberg Open API

The API's will provide full access to LIVE data, and developers can thus provide applications and develop against the API without paying licencing fees. Consumers will pay for any data received from the apps provided by third party developers, and so BB will grow their audience and revenue in that way.

NOTE: Bloomberg is offering this programming interface (BLPAPI) under a free-use license. This license does not include nor provide access to any Bloomberg data or content.

SQL SELECT everything after a certain character

For SQL Management studio I used a variation of BWS' answer. This gets the data to the right of '=', or NULL if the symbol doesn't exist:

    0 ELSE CHARINDEX('=', supplier_reference) -1 END)) <> '' THEN (RIGHT(supplier_reference, CASE WHEN (CHARINDEX('=',supplier_reference,0)) = 0 THEN
    0 ELSE CHARINDEX('=', supplier_reference) -1 END)) ELSE NULL END

Eclipse JUnit - possible causes of seeing "initializationError" in Eclipse window

I had the same issue... I was using maven building tool with JUnit dependency scope as 'test' and my @Test method was in main module.

To resolve, I've: 1. Commented the scope tag of JUnit dependency in the pom.xml 2. Rebuilt the package 3. Made sure the Test class has only one constructor

The issue can be two-folded: 1. The JUnit dependency is limited to test scope and the @Test method is in main scope 2. The test class has more than one constructor

TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable

You do cls.isFilled = True. That overwrites the method called isFilled and replaces it with the value True. That method is now gone and you can't call it anymore. So when you try to call it again you get an error, since it's not there anymore.

The solution is use a different name for the variable than you do for the method.

What's the difference between echo, print, and print_r in PHP?

echo

Outputs one or more strings separated by commas
No return value

e.g. echo "String 1", "String 2"

print

Outputs only a single string
Returns 1, so it can be used in an expression

e.g. print "Hello"

or, if ($expr && print "foo")

print_r()

Outputs a human-readable representation of any one value
Accepts not just strings but other types including arrays and objects, formatting them to be readable
Useful when debugging
May return its output as a return value (instead of echoing) if the second optional argument is given

var_dump()

Outputs a human-readable representation of one or more values separated by commas
Accepts not just strings but other types including arrays and objects, formatting them to be readable
Uses a different output format to print_r(), for example it also prints the type of values
Useful when debugging
No return value

var_export()

Outputs a human-readable and PHP-executable representation of any one value
Accepts not just strings but other types including arrays and objects, formatting them to be readable
Uses a different output format to both print_r() and var_dump() - resulting output is valid PHP code!
Useful when debugging
May return its output as a return value (instead of echoing) if the second optional argument is given

Notes:

Even though print can be used in an expression, I recommend people avoid doing so, because it is bad for code readability (and because it's unlikely to ever be useful). The precedence rules when it interacts with other operators can also be confusing. Because of this, I personally don't ever have a reason to use it over echo.
Whereas echo and print are language constructs, print_r() and var_dump()/var_export() are regular functions. You don't need parentheses to enclose the arguments to echo or print (and if you do use them, they'll be treated as they would in an expression).
While var_export() returns valid PHP code allowing values to be read back later, relying on this for production code may make it easier to introduce security vulnerabilities due to the need to use eval(). It would be better to use a format like JSON instead to store and read back values. The speed will be comparable.

How can I transition height: 0; to height: auto; using CSS?

This is regular problem I've solved like this

http://jsfiddle.net/ipeshev/d1dfr0jz/

Try to set delay of closed state to some negative number and play a little bit with the value. You will see the difference.It can be made almost to lie the human eye ;).

It works in major browsers, but good enough for me. It is strange but give some results.

.expandable {
    max-height: 0px;
    overflow: hidden;
    transition: all 1s linear -0.8s;
}

button:hover ~ .expandable {
    max-height: 9000px;

How can I print a circular structure in a JSON-like format?

Although this has been answered sufficiently, you could also explicitly delete the property in question before stringification using the delete operator.

delete obj.b; 
const jsonObject = JSON.stringify(obj);

delete operator

this will remove the need to build or maintain complex logic to remove circular references.

Selecting only numeric columns from a data frame

The library PCAmixdata has functon splitmix that splits quantitative(Numerical data) and qualitative (Categorical data) of a given dataframe "YourDataframe" as shown below:

install.packages("PCAmixdata")
library(PCAmixdata)
split <- splitmix(YourDataframe)
X1 <- split$X.quanti(Gives numerical columns in the dataset) 
X2 <- split$X.quali (Gives categorical columns in the dataset)

ListBox with ItemTemplate (and ScrollBar!)

ListBox will try to expand in height that is available.. When you set the Height property of ListBox you get a scrollviewer that actually works...

If you wish your ListBox to accodate the height available, you might want to try to regulate the Height from your parent controls.. In a Grid for example, setting the Height to Auto in your RowDefinition might do the trick...

case statement in SQL, how to return multiple variables?

Depending on your use case, instead of using a case statement, you can use the union of multiple select statements, one for each condition.

My goal when I found this question was to select multiple columns conditionally. I didn't necessarily need the case statement, so this is what I did.

For example:

  SELECT
    a1,
    a2,
    a3,
    ...
  WHERE <condition 1>
    AND (<other conditions>)
  UNION
  SELECT
    b1,
    b2,
    b3,
    ...
  WHERE <condition 2>
    AND (<other conditions>)
  UNION
  SELECT
  ...
-- and so on

Be sure that exactly one condition evaluates to true at a time.

I'm using Postgresql, and the query planner was smart enough to not run a select statement at all if the condition in the where clause evaluated to false (i.e. only one of the select statement actually runs), so this was also performant for me.

Random strings in Python

In python3.6+ you can use the secrets module:

The secrets module is used for generating cryptographically strong random numbers suitable for managing data such as passwords, account authentication, security tokens, and related secrets.

In particularly, secrets should be used in preference to the default pseudo-random number generator in the random module, which is designed for modelling and simulation, not security or cryptography.

In testing generation of 768bit security tokens I found:

random.choices() - 0.000246 secs
secrets.choice() - 0.003529 secs

The secrets modules is slower but outside of testing it is what you should be using for cryptographic purposes:

import string, secrets

def random_string(size):        
        letters = string.ascii_lowercase+string.ascii_uppercase+string.digits            
        return ''.join(secrets.choice(letters) for i in range(size))

print(random_string(768))

Using grep to search for a string that has a dot in it

You can also search with -- option which basically ignores all the special characters and it won't be interpreted by grep.

$ cat foo |grep -- "0\.49"

Correct use for angular-translate in controllers

To make a translation in the controller you could use $translate service:

$translate(['COMMON.SI', 'COMMON.NO']).then(function (translations) {
    vm.si = translations['COMMON.SI'];
    vm.no = translations['COMMON.NO'];
});

That statement only does the translation on controller activation but it doesn't detect the runtime change in language. In order to achieve that behavior, you could listen the $rootScope event: $translateChangeSuccess and do the same translation there:

    $rootScope.$on('$translateChangeSuccess', function () {
        $translate(['COMMON.SI', 'COMMON.NO']).then(function (translations) {
            vm.si = translations['COMMON.SI'];
            vm.no = translations['COMMON.NO'];
        });
    });

Of course, you could encapsulate the $translateservice in a method and call it in the controller and in the $translateChangeSucesslistener.

ping response "Request timed out." vs "Destination Host unreachable"

Request timed out means that the local host did not receive a response from the destination host, but it was able to reach it. Destination host unreachable means that there was no valid route to the requested host.

Gaussian filter in MATLAB

@Jacob already showed you how to use the Gaussian filter in Matlab, so I won't repeat that.

I would choose filter size to be about 3*sigma in each direction (round to odd integer). Thus, the filter decays to nearly zero at the edges, and you won't get discontinuities in the filtered image.

The choice of sigma depends a lot on what you want to do. Gaussian smoothing is low-pass filtering, which means that it suppresses high-frequency detail (noise, but also edges), while preserving the low-frequency parts of the image (i.e. those that don't vary so much). In other words, the filter blurs everything that is smaller than the filter.

If you're looking to suppress noise in an image in order to enhance the detection of small features, for example, I suggest to choose a sigma that makes the Gaussian just slightly smaller than the feature.

How to get the current time in Python

How to read AppSettings values from a .json file in ASP.NET Core

Super late to the party but if someone finds this out.

You can call IConfiguration from Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;

public static IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public static string MyAwesomeString = Configuration.GetSection("appSettings")["MyAwesomeString"].ToString();

Passing variables through handlebars partial

Just in case, here is what I did to get partial arguments, kind of. I’ve created a little helper that takes a partial name and a hash of parameters that will be passed to the partial:

Handlebars.registerHelper('render', function(partialId, options) {
  var selector = 'script[type="text/x-handlebars-template"]#' + partialId,
      source = $(selector).html(),
      html = Handlebars.compile(source)(options.hash);

  return new Handlebars.SafeString(html);
});

The key thing here is that Handlebars helpers accept a Ruby-like hash of arguments. In the helper code they come as part of the function’s last argument—options— in its hash member. This way you can receive the first argument—the partial name—and get the data after that.

Then, you probably want to return a Handlebars.SafeString from the helper or use “triple-stash”—{{{— to prevent it from double escaping.

Here is a more or less complete usage scenario:

<script id="text-field" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
  <label for="{{id}}">{{label}}</label>
  <input type="text" id="{{id}}"/>
</script>

<script id="checkbox-field" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
  <label for="{{id}}">{{label}}</label>
  <input type="checkbox" id="{{id}}"/>
</script>

<script id="form-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
  <form>
    <h1>{{title}}</h1>
    {{ render 'text-field' label="First name" id="author-first-name" }}
    {{ render 'text-field' label="Last name" id="author-last-name" }}
    {{ render 'text-field' label="Email" id="author-email" }}
    {{ render 'checkbox-field' label="Private?" id="private-question" }}
  </form>
</script>

Hope this helps …someone. :)

How to iterate over the files of a certain directory, in Java?

I guess there are so many ways to make what you want. Here's a way that I use. With the commons.io library you can iterate over the files in a directory. You must use the FileUtils.iterateFiles method and you can process each file.

You can find the information here: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/download_io.cgi

Here's an example:

Iterator it = FileUtils.iterateFiles(new File("C:/"), null, false);
        while(it.hasNext()){
            System.out.println(((File) it.next()).getName());
        }

You can change null and put a list of extentions if you wanna filter. Example: {".xml",".java"}

Error Installing Homebrew - Brew Command Not Found

The warning is telling you what is wrong. The problem is that brew is kept in /usr/local/bin

So, you can try /usr/local/bin/brew doctor

To fix it permanently alter your bash profile (.bashrc or .profile in your home directory) and add the following line:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

What's the difference between lists enclosed by square brackets and parentheses in Python?

Square brackets are lists while parentheses are tuples.

A list is mutable, meaning you can change its contents:

>>> x = [1,2]
>>> x.append(3)
>>> x
[1, 2, 3]

while tuples are not:

>>> x = (1,2)
>>> x
(1, 2)
>>> x.append(3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'append'

The other main difference is that a tuple is hashable, meaning that you can use it as a key to a dictionary, among other things. For example:

>>> x = (1,2)
>>> y = [1,2]
>>> z = {}
>>> z[x] = 3
>>> z
{(1, 2): 3}
>>> z[y] = 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

Note that, as many people have pointed out, you can add tuples together. For example:

>>> x = (1,2)
>>> x += (3,)
>>> x
(1, 2, 3)

However, this does not mean tuples are mutable. In the example above, a new tuple is constructed by adding together the two tuples as arguments. The original tuple is not modified. To demonstrate this, consider the following:

>>> x = (1,2)
>>> y = x
>>> x += (3,)
>>> x
(1, 2, 3)
>>> y
(1, 2)

Whereas, if you were to construct this same example with a list, y would also be updated:

>>> x = [1, 2]
>>> y = x
>>> x += [3]
>>> x
[1, 2, 3]
>>> y
[1, 2, 3]

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable while trying to access a list

For accessing the elements of a list you need to use the square brackets ([]) and not the parenthesis (()).

Instead of:

print  wordlists(len(words))

you need to use:

print worldlists[len(words)]

And instead of:

(wordlists(len(words))).append(words)

you need to use:

worldlists[len(words)].append(words)

How to get a .csv file into R?

Since you say you want to access by position once your data is read in, you should know about R's subsetting/ indexing functions.

The easiest is

df[row,column]
#example
df[1:5,] #rows 1:5, all columns
df[,5] #all rows, column 5.

Other methods are here. I personally use the dplyr package for intuitive data manipulation (not by position).

How to Get a Layout Inflater Given a Context?

You can use the static from() method from the LayoutInflater class:

 LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context);

UNION with WHERE clause

NOTE: While my advice was true many years ago, Oracle's optimizer has improved so that the location of the where definitely no longer matters here. However preferring UNION ALL vs UNION will always be true, and portable SQL should avoid depending on optimizations that may not be in all databases.

Short answer, you want the WHERE before the UNION and you want to use UNION ALL if at all possible. If you are using UNION ALL then check the EXPLAIN output, Oracle might be smart enough to optimize the WHERE condition if it is left after.

The reason is the following. The definition of a UNION says that if there are duplicates in the two data sets, they have to be removed. Therefore there is an implicit GROUP BY in that operation, which tends to be slow. Worse yet, Oracle's optimizer (at least as of 3 years ago, and I don't think it has changed) doesn't try to push conditions through a GROUP BY (implicit or explicit). Therefore Oracle has to construct larger data sets than necessary, group them, and only then gets to filter. Thus prefiltering wherever possible is officially a Good Idea. (This is, incidentally, why it is important to put conditions in the WHERE whenever possible instead of leaving them in a HAVING clause.)

Furthermore if you happen to know that there won't be duplicates between the two data sets, then use UNION ALL. That is like UNION in that it concatenates datasets, but it doesn't try to deduplicate data. This saves an expensive grouping operation. In my experience it is quite common to be able to take advantage of this operation.

Since UNION ALL does not have an implicit GROUP BY in it, it is possible that Oracle's optimizer knows how to push conditions through it. I don't have Oracle sitting around to test, so you will need to test that yourself.

Warning: The method assertEquals from the type Assert is deprecated

this method also encounter a deprecate warning:

org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(float expected,float actual) //deprecated

It is because currently junit prefer a third parameter rather than just two float variables input.

The third parameter is delta:

public static void assertEquals(double expected,double actual,double delta) //replacement

this is mostly used to deal with inaccurate Floating point calculations

for more information, please refer this problem: Meaning of epsilon argument of assertEquals for double values

How do I hide the PHP explode delimiter from submitted form results?

You could try a different approach like read the file line by line instead of dealing with all this nl2br / explode stuff.

$fh = fopen("employees.txt", "r"); if ($fh) {     while (($line = fgets($fh)) !== false) {         $line = trim($line);         echo "<option value='".$line."'>".$line."</option>";     } } else {     // error opening the file, do something }

Also maybe just doing a trim (remove whitespace from beginning/end of string) is your issue?

And maybe people are just misunderstanding what you mean by "submitting results to a spreadsheet" -- are you doing this with code? or a copy/paste from an HTML page into a spreadsheet? Maybe you can explain that in more detail. The delimiter for which you split the lines of the file shouldn't be displaying in the output anyway unless you have unexpected output for some other reason.

Last non-empty cell in a column

I think the response from W5ALIVE is closest to what I use to find the last row of data in a column. Assuming I am looking for the last row with data in Column A, though, I would use the following for the more generic lookup:

=MAX(IFERROR(MATCH("*",A:A,-1),0),IFERROR(MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A,1),0))

The first MATCH will find the last text cell and the second MATCH finds the last numeric cell. The IFERROR function returns zero if the first MATCH finds all numeric cells or if the second match finds all text cells.

Basically this is a slight variation of W5ALIVE's mixed text and number solution.

In testing the timing, this was significantly quicker than the equivalent LOOKUP variations.

To return the actual value of that last cell, I prefer to use indirect cell referencing like this:

=INDIRECT("A"&MAX(IFERROR(MATCH("*",A:A,-1),0),IFERROR(MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A,1),0)))

The method offered by sancho.s is perhaps a cleaner option, but I would modify the portion that finds the row number to this:

=INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1)

the only difference being that the ",1" returns the first value while the ",0" returns the entire array of values (all but one of which are not needed). I still tend to prefer addressing the cell to the index function there, in other words, returning the cell value with:

=INDIRECT("A"&INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1))

Angular 5 Service to read local .json file

Try This

Write code in your service

import {Observable, of} from 'rxjs';

import json file

import Product  from "./database/product.json";

getProduct(): Observable<any> {
   return of(Product).pipe(delay(1000));
}

In component

get_products(){
    this.sharedService.getProduct().subscribe(res=>{
        console.log(res);
    })        
}

    res.ok(i);
  }
}

Root user/sudo equivalent in Cygwin?

I answered this question on SuperUser but only after the OP disregarded the unhelpful answer that was at the time the only answer to the question.

Here is the proper way to elevate permissions in Cygwin, copied from my own answer on SuperUser:

I found the answer on the Cygwin mailing list. To run command with elevated privileges in Cygwin, precede the command with cygstart --action=runas like this:

$ cygstart --action=runas command

This will open a Windows dialogue box asking for the Admin password and run the command if the proper password is entered.

This is easily scripted, so long as ~/bin is in your path. Create a file ~/bin/sudo with the following content:

#!/usr/bin/bash
cygstart --action=runas "$@"

Now make the file executable:

$ chmod +x ~/bin/sudo

Now you can run commands with real elevated privileges:

$ sudo elevatedCommand

You may need to add ~/bin to your path. You can run the following command on the Cygwin CLI, or add it to ~/.bashrc:

$ PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

Tested on 64-bit Windows 8.

You could also instead of above steps add an alias for this command to ~/.bashrc:

# alias to simulate sudo
alias sudo='cygstart --action=runas'

How to match, but not capture, part of a regex?

Try this:

/\d{3}-(?:(apple|banana)-)?\d{3}/

What is the use of ObservableCollection in .net?

An ObservableCollection works essentially like a regular collection except that it implements the interfaces:

As such it is very useful when you want to know when the collection has changed. An event is triggered that will tell the user what entries have been added/removed or moved.

More importantly they are very useful when using databinding on a form.

Change color and appearance of drop down arrow

Not easily done I am afraid. The problem is Css cannot replace the arrow in a select as this is rendered by the browser. But you can build a new control from div and input elements and Javascript to perform the same function as the select.

Try looking at some of the autocomplete plugins for Jquery for example.

Otherwise there is some info on the select element here:

Counting the number of elements in array

This expands on the answer by Denis Bubnov.

I used this to find child values of array elements—namely if there was a anchor field in paragraphs on a Drupal 8 site to build a table of contents.

{% set count = 0 %}
{% for anchor in items %}
    {% if anchor.content['#paragraph'].field_anchor_link.0.value %}
        {% set count = count + 1 %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% if count > 0 %}
 ---  build the toc here --
{% endif %}

What is the best way to parse html in C#?

I've used ZetaHtmlTidy in the past to load random websites and then hit against various parts of the content with xpath (eg /html/body//p[@class='textblock']). It worked well but there were some exceptional sites that it had problems with, so I don't know if it's the absolute best solution.

Check whether specific radio button is checked

$("input[@name='<%=test2.ClientID%>']:checked");

use this and here ClientID fetch random id created by .net.

Equivalent to AssemblyInfo in dotnet core/csproj

As you've already noticed, you can control most of these settings in .csproj.

If you'd rather keep these in AssemblyInfo.cs, you can turn off auto-generated assembly attributes.

<PropertyGroup>
   <GenerateAssemblyInfo>false</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
</PropertyGroup>

If you want to see what's going on under the hood, checkout Microsoft.NET.GenerateAssemblyInfo.targets inside of Microsoft.NET.Sdk.

Install a .NET windows service without InstallUtil.exe

Take a look at the InstallHelper method of the ManagedInstaller class. You can install a service using:

string[] args;
ManagedInstallerClass.InstallHelper(args);

This is exactly what InstallUtil does. The arguments are the same as for InstallUtil.

The benefits of this method are that it involves no messing in the registry, and it uses the same mechanism as InstallUtil.

Filter Java Stream to 1 and only 1 element

Guava provides MoreCollectors.onlyElement() which does the right thing here. But if you have to do it yourself, you could roll your own Collector for this:

<E> Collector<E, ?, Optional<E>> getOnly() {
  return Collector.of(
    AtomicReference::new,
    (ref, e) -> {
      if (!ref.compareAndSet(null, e)) {
         throw new IllegalArgumentException("Multiple values");
      }
    },
    (ref1, ref2) -> {
      if (ref1.get() == null) {
        return ref2;
      } else if (ref2.get() != null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Multiple values");
      } else {
        return ref1;
      }
    },
    ref -> Optional.ofNullable(ref.get()),
    Collector.Characteristics.UNORDERED);
}

...or using your own Holder type instead of AtomicReference. You can reuse that Collector as much as you like.

Check to see if python script is running

The other answers are great for things like cron jobs, but if you're running a daemon you should monitor it with something like daemontools.

Java out.println() how is this possible?

@sfussenegger's answer explains how to make this work. But I'd say don't do it!

Experienced Java programmers use, and expect to see

        System.out.println(...);

and not

        out.println(...);

A static import of System.out or System.err is (IMO) bad style because:

it breaks the accepted idiom, and
it makes it harder to track down unwanted trace prints that were added during testing and not removed.

If you find yourself doing lots of output to System.out or System.err, I think it is a better to abstract the streams into attributes, local variables or methods. This will make your application more reusable.

Can you issue pull requests from the command line on GitHub?

I ended up making my own, I find that it works better the other solutions that were around.

How would you do a "not in" query with LINQ?

I did not test this with LINQ to Entities:

NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();    
dc.Log = Console.Out;

var query =    
    from c in dc.Customers 
    where !dc.Orders.Any(o => o.CustomerID == c.CustomerID)   
    select c;

Alternatively:

NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();    
dc.Log = Console.Out;

var query =    
    from c in dc.Customers 
    where dc.Orders.All(o => o.CustomerID != c.CustomerID)   
    select c;

foreach (var c in query) 
    Console.WriteLine( c );

Creating a button in Android Toolbar

You can actually put anything inside a toolbar. See the below code.

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary">

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Between the above toolbar tag you can put almost anything. That is the benefit of using a Toolbar.

HTML5 Video // Completely Hide Controls

You could hide controls using CSS Pseudo Selectors like Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/g1rsasa3

_x000D_

//For Firefox we have to handle it in JavaScript _x000D_
var vids = $("video"); _x000D_
$.each(vids, function(){_x000D_
       this.controls = false; _x000D_
}); _x000D_
//Loop though all Video tags and set Controls as false_x000D_
_x000D_
$("video").click(function() {_x000D_
  //console.log(this); _x000D_
  if (this.paused) {_x000D_
    this.play();_x000D_
  } else {_x000D_
    this.pause();_x000D_
  }_x000D_
});

video::-webkit-media-controls {_x000D_
  display: none;_x000D_

What is char ** in C?

well, char * means a pointer point to char, it is different from char array.

char amessage[] = "this is an array";  /* define an array*/
char *pmessage = "this is a pointer"; /* define a pointer*/

And, char ** means a pointer point to a char pointer.

You can look some books about details about pointer and array.

Change value of input onchange?

for jQuery we can use below:

by input name:

$('input[name="textboxname"]').val('some value');

by input class:

$('input[type=text].textboxclass').val('some value');

by input id:

$('#textboxid').val('some value');

RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags

Here's a PCRE regular expression for XML/XHTML, built from a simplified EBNF syntax definition:

/
(?(DEFINE)
(?<tag> (?&tagempty) | (?&tagopen) ((?&textnode) | (?&tag) | (?&comment))* (?&tagclose))
(?<tagunnested> (?&tagempty) | (?&tagopen) ((?&textnode) | (?&comment))* (?&tagclose))
(?<textnode> [^<>]+)
(?<comment> <!--([\s\S]*?)-->)
(?<tagopen> < (?&tagname) (?&attrlist)? (?&ws)* >)
(?<tagempty> < (?&tagname) (?&ws)* (?&attrlist)? (?&ws)* \/>)
(?<tagclose> <\/ (?&tagname) (?&ws)* >)
(?<attrlist> ((?&ws)+ (?&attr))+)
(?<attr> (?&attrunquoted) | (?&attrsinglequoted) | (?&attrdoublequoted) | (?&attrempty))
(?<attrempty> (?&attrname))
(?<attrunquoted> (?&attrname) (?&ws)* = (?&ws)* (?&attrunquotedvalue))
(?<attrsinglequoted> (?&attrname) (?&ws)* = (?&ws)* ' (?&attrsinglequotedvalue) ')
(?<attrdoublequoted> (?&attrname) (?&ws)* = (?&ws)* " (?&attrdoublequotedvalue) ")
(?<tagname> (?&alphabets) ((?&alphabets) | (?&digits))*)
(?<attrname>(?&alphabets)+((?&alphabets)|(?&digits)|[:-]) )
(?<attrunquotedvalue> [^\s"'=<>`]+)
(?<attrsinglequotedvalue> [^']+)
(?<attrdoublequotedvalue> [^"]+)
(?<alphabets> [a-zA-Z])
(?<digits> [0-9])
(?<ws> \s)
)
(?&tagopen)
/x

This illustrates how to build regular expressions for context-free grammars. You can match other parts of the definition by changing the match on the last line from (?&tagopen) to e.g. (?&tagunnested)

The real question is: Should you do it?

For XML/XHTML the consensus is no!

Python unexpected EOF while parsing

While @simon's answer is most helpful in Python 2, raw_input is not present in Python 3. I'd suggest doing the following to make sure your code works equally well in Python 2 and Python 3:

First, pip install future:

$ pip install future

Second: import input from future.builtins

# my_file.py    
from future.builtins import input
str_value = input('Type something in: ')

And for the specific example listed above:

# example.py
from future.builtins import input
my_date = input("Example: March 21 | What is the date? ")

Count the frequency that a value occurs in a dataframe column

If you want to apply to all columns you can use:

df.apply(pd.value_counts)

This will apply a column based aggregation function (in this case value_counts) to each of the columns.

How to convert a column number (e.g. 127) into an Excel column (e.g. AA)

This is a javascript version according to Graham's code

function (columnNumber) {
    var dividend = columnNumber;
    var columnName = "";
    var modulo;

    while (dividend > 0) {
        modulo = (dividend - 1) % 26;
        columnName = String.fromCharCode(65 + modulo) + columnName;
        dividend = parseInt((dividend - modulo) / 26);
    }

    return columnName;
};
