C convert floating point to int

my_var = (int)my_var;

As simple as that. Basically you don't need it if the variable is int.

Check that an email address is valid on iOS

Good cocoa function:

-(BOOL) NSStringIsValidEmail:(NSString *)checkString
{
   BOOL stricterFilter = NO; // Discussion http://blog.logichigh.com/2010/09/02/validating-an-e-mail-address/
   NSString *stricterFilterString = @"^[A-Z0-9a-z\\._%+-]+@([A-Za-z0-9-]+\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,4}$";
   NSString *laxString = @"^.+@([A-Za-z0-9-]+\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2}[A-Za-z]*$";
   NSString *emailRegex = stricterFilter ? stricterFilterString : laxString;
   NSPredicate *emailTest = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegex];
   return [emailTest evaluateWithObject:checkString];
}

Discussion on Lax vs. Strict - http://blog.logichigh.com/2010/09/02/validating-an-e-mail-address/

And because categories are just better, you could also add an interface:

@interface NSString (emailValidation) 
  - (BOOL)isValidEmail;
@end

Implement

@implementation NSString (emailValidation)
-(BOOL)isValidEmail
{
  BOOL stricterFilter = NO; // Discussion http://blog.logichigh.com/2010/09/02/validating-an-e-mail-address/
  NSString *stricterFilterString = @"^[A-Z0-9a-z\\._%+-]+@([A-Za-z0-9-]+\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,4}$";
  NSString *laxString = @"^.+@([A-Za-z0-9-]+\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2}[A-Za-z]*$";
  NSString *emailRegex = stricterFilter ? stricterFilterString : laxString;
  NSPredicate *emailTest = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegex];
  return [emailTest evaluateWithObject:self];
}
@end

And then utilize:

if([@"[email protected]" isValidEmail]) { /* True */ }
if([@"InvalidEmail@notreallyemailbecausenosuffix" isValidEmail]) { /* False */ }

How to delete a column from a table in MySQL

To delete column use this,

ALTER TABLE `tbl_Country` DROP `your_col`

String in function parameter

Inside the function parameter list, char arr[] is absolutely equivalent to char *arr, so the pair of definitions and the pair of declarations are equivalent.

void function(char arr[]) { ... }
void function(char *arr)  { ... }

void function(char arr[]);
void function(char *arr);

The issue is the calling context. You provided a string literal to the function; string literals may not be modified; your function attempted to modify the string literal it was given; your program invoked undefined behaviour and crashed. All completely kosher.

Treat string literals as if they were static const char literal[] = "string literal"; and do not attempt to modify them.

How to get SQL from Hibernate Criteria API (*not* for logging)

This answer is based on user3715338's answer (with a small spelling error corrected) and mixed with Michael's answer for Hibernate 3.6 - based on the accepted answer from Brian Deterling. I then extended it (for PostgreSQL) with a couple more types replacing the questionmarks:

public static String toSql(Criteria criteria)
{
    String sql = "";
    Object[] parameters = null;
    try
    {
        CriteriaImpl criteriaImpl = (CriteriaImpl) criteria;
        SessionImpl sessionImpl = (SessionImpl) criteriaImpl.getSession();
        SessionFactoryImplementor factory = sessionImpl.getSessionFactory();
        String[] implementors = factory.getImplementors(criteriaImpl.getEntityOrClassName());
        OuterJoinLoadable persister = (OuterJoinLoadable) factory.getEntityPersister(implementors[0]);
        LoadQueryInfluencers loadQueryInfluencers = new LoadQueryInfluencers();
        CriteriaLoader loader = new CriteriaLoader(persister, factory,
            criteriaImpl, implementors[0].toString(), loadQueryInfluencers);
        Field f = OuterJoinLoader.class.getDeclaredField("sql");
        f.setAccessible(true);
        sql = (String) f.get(loader);
        Field fp = CriteriaLoader.class.getDeclaredField("translator");
        fp.setAccessible(true);
        CriteriaQueryTranslator translator = (CriteriaQueryTranslator) fp.get(loader);
        parameters = translator.getQueryParameters().getPositionalParameterValues();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
    if (sql != null)
    {
        int fromPosition = sql.indexOf(" from ");
        sql = "\nSELECT * " + sql.substring(fromPosition);

        if (parameters != null && parameters.length > 0)
        {
            for (Object val : parameters)
            {
                String value = "%";
                if (val instanceof Boolean)
                {
                    value = ((Boolean) val) ? "1" : "0";
                }
                else if (val instanceof String)
                {
                    value = "'" + val + "'";
                }
                else if (val instanceof Number)
                {
                    value = val.toString();
                }
                else if (val instanceof Class)
                {
                    value = "'" + ((Class) val).getCanonicalName() + "'";
                }
                else if (val instanceof Date)
                {
                    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(
                        "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
                    value = "'" + sdf.format((Date) val) + "'";
                }
                else if (val instanceof Enum)
                {
                    value = "" + ((Enum) val).ordinal();
                }
                else
                {
                    value = val.toString();
                }
                sql = sql.replaceFirst("\\?", value);
            }
        }
    }
    return sql.replaceAll("left outer join", "\nleft outer join").replaceAll(
        " and ", "\nand ").replaceAll(" on ", "\non ").replaceAll("<>",
        "!=").replaceAll("<", " < ").replaceAll(">", " > ");
}

How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory?

As others have noted, distutils.sysconfig has the relevant settings:

import distutils.sysconfig
print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib()

...though the default site.py does something a bit more crude, paraphrased below:

import sys, os
print os.sep.join([sys.prefix, 'lib', 'python' + sys.version[:3], 'site-packages'])

(it also adds ${sys.prefix}/lib/site-python and adds both paths for sys.exec_prefix as well, should that constant be different).

That said, what's the context? You shouldn't be messing with your site-packages directly; setuptools/distutils will work for installation, and your program may be running in a virtualenv where your pythonpath is completely user-local, so it shouldn't assume use of the system site-packages directly either.

Is it possible to pass a flag to Gulp to have it run tasks in different ways?

It has been some time since this question has been posted, but maybe it will help someone.

I am using GULP CLI 2.0.1 (installed globally) and GULP 4.0.0 (installed locally) here is how you do it without any additional plugin. I think the code is quite self-explanatory.

var cp = require('child_process'), 
{ src, dest, series, parallel, watch } = require('gulp');

// == availableTasks: log available tasks to console
function availableTasks(done) {
  var command = 'gulp --tasks-simple';
  if (process.argv.indexOf('--verbose') > -1) {
    command = 'gulp --tasks';
  }
  cp.exec(command, function(err, stdout, stderr) {
    done(console.log('Available tasks are:\n' + stdout));
  });
}
availableTasks.displayName = 'tasks';
availableTasks.description = 'Log available tasks to console as plain text list.';
availableTasks.flags = {
  '--verbose': 'Display tasks dependency tree instead of plain text list.'
};
exports.availableTasks = availableTasks;

And run from the console:

gulp availableTasks

Then run and see the differences:

gulp availableTasks --verbose

Is there any advantage of using map over unordered_map in case of trivial keys?

I'd echo roughly the same point GMan made: depending on the type of use, std::map can be (and often is) faster than std::tr1::unordered_map (using the implementation included in VS 2008 SP1).

There are a few complicating factors to keep in mind. For example, in std::map, you're comparing keys, which means you only ever look at enough of the beginning of a key to distinguish between the right and left sub-branches of the tree. In my experience, nearly the only time you look at an entire key is if you're using something like int that you can compare in a single instruction. With a more typical key type like std::string, you often compare only a few characters or so.

A decent hash function, by contrast, always looks at the entire key. IOW, even if the table lookup is constant complexity, the hash itself has roughly linear complexity (though on the length of the key, not the number of items). With long strings as keys, an std::map might finish a search before an unordered_map would even start its search.

Second, while there are several methods of resizing hash tables, most of them are pretty slow -- to the point that unless lookups are considerably more frequent than insertions and deletions, std::map will often be faster than std::unordered_map.

Of course, as I mentioned in the comment on your previous question, you can also use a table of trees. This has both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it limits the worst case to that of a tree. It also allows fast insertion and deletion, because (at least when I've done it) I've used a fixed-size of table. Eliminating all table resizing allows you to keep your hash table a lot simpler and typically faster.

One other point: the requirements for hashing and tree-based maps are different. Hashing obviously requires a hash function, and an equality comparison, where ordered maps require a less-than comparison. Of course the hybrid I mentioned requires both. Of course, for the common case of using a string as the key, this isn't really a problem, but some types of keys suit ordering better than hashing (or vice versa).

How to kill a process running on particular port in Linux?

Linux: First you can find PID of this command if you know the port :

netstat -tulpn 

example:-

 Local Address  Foreign Address  State    PID/Program name

  :::3000       :::*             LISTEN    15986/node 

You then take the kill process. run the following command:

kill -9 PID

Expample: -

kill -9 15986

PHP7 : install ext-dom issue

In R, how to find the standard error of the mean?

The standard error (SE) is just the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. The variance of the sampling distribution is the variance of the data divided by N and the SE is the square root of that. Going from that understanding one can see that it is more efficient to use variance in the SE calculation. The sd function in R already does one square root (code for sd is in R and revealed by just typing "sd"). Therefore, the following is most efficient.

se <- function(x) sqrt(var(x)/length(x))

in order to make the function only a bit more complex and handle all of the options that you could pass to var, you could make this modification.

se <- function(x, ...) sqrt(var(x, ...)/length(x))

Using this syntax one can take advantage of things like how var deals with missing values. Anything that can be passed to var as a named argument can be used in this se call.

How to fix corrupted git repository?

I wanted to add this as a comment under Zoey Hewil's awesome answer above, but I don't currently have enough rep to do so, so I have to add it here and give credit for her work :P

If you're using Poshgit and are feeling exceptionally lazy, you can use the following to automatically extract your URL from your git config and make an easy job even easier. Standard caveats apply about testing this on a copy/backing up your local repo first in case it blows up in your face.

$config = get-content .git\config
$url = $config -match " url = (?<content>.*)"
$url = $url.trim().Substring(6)
$url

move-item -v .git .git_old;
git init;
git remote add origin "$url";
git fetch;
git reset origin/master --mixed

Document Root PHP

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/hello.html'; ?>">go with php</a>
    <br />
<a href="/hello.html">go to with html</a>

Try this yourself and find that they are not exactly the same.

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] renders an actual file path (on my computer running as it's own server, C:/wamp/www/

HTML's / renders the root of the server url, in my case, localhost/

But C:/wamp/www/hello.html and localhost/hello.html are in fact the same file

How do I make a WPF TextBlock show my text on multiple lines?

This gets part way there. There is no ActualFontSize property but there is an ActualHeight and that would relate to the FontSize. Right now this only sizes for the original render. I could not figure out how to register the Converter as resize event. Actually maybe need to register the FontSize as a resize event. Please don't mark me down for an incomplete answer. I could not put code sample in a comment.

How to set a value for a span using jQuery

fopen deprecated warning

Many of Microsoft's secure functions, including fopen_s(), are part of C11, so they should be portable now. You should realize that the secure functions differ in exception behaviors and sometimes in return values. Additionally you need to be aware that while these functions are standardized, it's an optional part of the standard (Annex K) that at least glibc (default on Linux) and FreeBSD's libc don't implement.

However, I fought this problem for a few years. I posted a larger set of conversion macros here., For your immediate problem, put the following code in an include file, and include it in your source code:

#pragma once
#if !defined(FCN_S_MACROS_H)
   #define   FCN_S_MACROS_H

   #include <cstdio>
   #include <string> // Need this for _stricmp
   using namespace std;

   // _MSC_VER = 1400 is MSVC 2005. _MSC_VER = 1600 (MSVC 2010) was the current
   // value when I wrote (some of) these macros.

   #if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER >= 1400) )

      inline extern
      FILE*   fcnSMacro_fopen_s(char *fname, char *mode)
      {  FILE *fptr;
         fopen_s(&fptr, fname, mode);
         return fptr;
      }
      #define fopen(fname, mode)            fcnSMacro_fopen_s((fname), (mode))

   #else
      #define fopen_s(fp, fmt, mode)        *(fp)=fopen( (fmt), (mode))

   #endif //_MSC_VER

#endif // FCN_S_MACROS_H

Of course this approach does not implement the expected exception behavior.

Open file dialog box in JavaScript

First add in the head tags:

<script>
   function showDialog(openFileDialog) {
       document.getElementById(openFileDialog).click();
   }
   function fileName(openFileDialog) {
       return document.getElementById(openFileDialog).value;
   }
   function hasFile(openFileDialog) {
       return document.getElementById(openFileDialog).value != "";
   }
   function fileNameWithoutFakePath(openFileDialog) {
       var fileName = document.getElementById(openFileDialog).value;
       return fileName.substr(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
   }
   function fakePathWithoutFileName(openFileDialog) {
       var fileName = document.getElementById(openFileDialog).value;
       return fileName.substr(0, fileName.lastIndexOf('\\'));
   }
</script>

if you already have script tags, just add these functions above.

In your body or form tags adding:

<input type="file" style="display:none" id="yourDesiredOrFavoriteNameForTheNewOpenFileDialogInstance"/>

No matter where in your html, is just like that you've created a new instance of type OpenFileDialog class as global variable, whose name is the id of the element, no matter where in your code or xaml, but in your script or code, you can't type his name, and then read a property or call a function, because there are global functions that do those that are not defined in the element input type="file". You just have to give these functions the id of the hidden input type="file" which is the name of the OpenFileDialog instance as string.

To ease your life in creating open file dialogs instances to your html, you can make a function that does it:

function createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog(name) {
     document.getElementById("yourBodyOrFormId").innerHtml += "<input type='file' style='display:none' id='" + name + "'/>"
}

and if you want to remove open file dialog, then you can make and use the following function:

function removeOpenFileDialog(name) {
    var html = document.getElementById("yourBodyOrFormId").innerHtml;
    html = html.replace("<input type='file' style='display:none' id='" + name + "'/>", "");
    document.getElementById("yourBodyOrFormId").innerHtml = html;
}

but before you remove open file dialog, ensure that it exists by making and using the following function:

function doesOpenFileDialogExist(name) {
    return document.getElementById("yourBodyOrFormId").innerHtml.indexOf("<input type='file' style='display:none' id='" + name + "'/>") != -1
}

and if you don't want to create and add the open file dialogs in the body or form tags in the html, because this is adding hidden input type="file"s, then you can do it in script using the create function above:

function yourBodyOrFormId_onload() {
    createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog("openFileDialog1");
    createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog("openFileDialog2");
    createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog("openFileDialog3");
    createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog("File Upload");
    createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog("Image Upload");
    createAndAddNewOpenFileDialog("bla");
    //etc and rest of your code
}

Ensure that near your body or form tags, you added:

onload="yourBodyOrFormId_onload()"

You don't have to do this line above, if you did it already.

TIP: You can add to your project or website new JScript File, if you don't have yet, and in this file you can put all the open file dialog functions away from the script tags and the html or web form page, and use them in your html or web form page from this JScript file, but don't forget before to link the html or web form page to the JScript File of course. You can do it just by dragging the JScript file to your html page in the head tags. If your page is web form and not simple html, and you don't have head tags, then put it anywhere so that it can work. Don't forget to define global variable in that JScript File, whose value will be your body or form id as string. After you linked the JScript file to your html or web form page, you can onload event of your body of form, set the value of that variable to your body or form id. Then in the JScript File, you don't have to give to the document the id of the body or form of one page anymore, just give it the value of that variable. You can call that variable bodyId or formId or bodyOrFormId or any other name you want.

Good luck man!

How do I use Wget to download all images into a single folder, from a URL?

The proposed solutions are perfect to download the images and if it is enough for you to save all the files in the directory you are using. But if you want to save all the images in a specified directory without reproducing the entire hierarchical tree of the site, try to add "cut-dirs" to the line proposed by Jon.

wget -r -P /save/location -A jpeg,jpg,bmp,gif,png http://www.boia.de --cut-dirs=1 --cut-dirs=2 --cut-dirs=3

in this case cut-dirs will prevent wget from creating sub-directories until the 3th level of depth in the website hierarchical tree, saving all the files in the directory you specified.You can add more 'cut-dirs' with higher numbers if you are dealing with sites with a deep structure.

Read file data without saving it in Flask

I was trying to do the exact same thing, open a text file (a CSV for Pandas actually). Don't want to make a copy of it, just want to open it. The form-WTF has a nice file browser, but then it opens the file and makes a temporary file, which it presents as a memory stream. With a little work under the hood,

form = UploadForm() 
 if form.validate_on_submit(): 
      filename = secure_filename(form.fileContents.data.filename)  
      filestream =  form.fileContents.data 
      filestream.seek(0)
      ef = pd.read_csv( filestream  )

PowerShell: how to grep command output?

If you truly want to "grep" the formatted output (display strings) then go with Mike's approach. There are definitely times where this comes in handy. However if you want to try embracing PowerShell's object pipeline nature, then try this. First, check out the properties on the objects flowing down the pipeline:

PS> alias | Get-Member


   TypeName: System.Management.Automation.AliasInfo

Name                MemberType     Definition
----                ----------     ----------
Equals              Method         bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode         Method         int GetHashCode()
GetType             Method         type GetType()
ToString            Method         string ToString()
<snip>
*Definition*        Property       System.String Definition {get;}
<snip>

Note the Definition property which is a header you see when you display the output of Get-Alias (alias) e.g.:

PS> alias

CommandType     Name           *Definition*
-----------     ----           ----------
Alias           %              ForEach-Object
<snip>

Usually the header title matches the property name but not always. That is where using Get-Member comes in handy. It shows you what you need to "script" against. Now if what you want to "grep" is the Definition property contents then consider this. Rather than just grepping that one property's value, you can instead filter each AliasInfo object in the pipepline by the contents of this property and you can use a regex to do it e.g.:

PS> alias | Where-Object {$_.Definition -match 'alias'}

CommandType     Name                   Definition
-----------     ----                   ----------
Alias           epal                   Export-Alias
Alias           gal                    Get-Alias
Alias           ipal                   Import-Alias
Alias           nal                    New-Alias
Alias           sal                    Set-Alias

In this example I use the Where-Object cmdlet to filter objects based on some arbitrary script. In this case, I filter by the Defintion property matched against the regex 'alias'. Only those objects that return true for that filter are allowed to propagate down the pipeline and get formatted for display on the host.

BTW if you're typing this, then you can use one of two aliases for Where-Object - 'Where' or '?'. For example:

PS> gal | ?{$_.Definition -match '-Item*'}

Programmatically navigate using react router V4

My answer is similar to Alex's. I'm not sure why React-Router made this so needlessly complicated. Why should I have to wrap my component with a HoC just to get access to what's essentially a global?

Anyway, if you take a look at how they implemented <BrowserRouter>, it's just a tiny wrapper around history.

We can pull that history bit out so that we can import it from anywhere. The trick, however, is if you're doing server-side rendering and you try to import the history module, it won't work because it uses browser-only APIs. But that's OK because we usually only redirect in response to a click or some other client-side event. Thus it's probably OK to fake it:

// history.js
if(__SERVER__) {
    module.exports = {};
} else {
    module.exports = require('history').createBrowserHistory();
}

With the help of webpack, we can define some vars so we know what environment we're in:

plugins: [
    new DefinePlugin({
        '__SERVER__': 'false',
        '__BROWSER__': 'true', // you really only need one of these, but I like to have both
    }),

And now you can

import history from './history';

From anywhere. It'll just return an empty module on the server.

If you don't want use these magic vars, you'll just have to require in the global object where it's needed (inside your event handler). import won't work because it only works at the top-level.

How to upload folders on GitHub

This is Web GUI of a GitHub repository:

enter image description here

Drag and drop your folder to the above area. When you upload too much folder/files, GitHub will notice you:

Yowza, that’s a lot of files. Try again with fewer than 100 files.

enter image description here

and add commit message

enter image description here

And press button Commit changes is the last step.

Compilation error - missing zlib.h

You are missing zlib.h header file, on Linux install it via:

sudo apt-get install libz-dev

As a matter of fact, the module presents as zlib1g-dev in the apt repo, so this is the up-to-date call (Feb 2019):

sudo apt install zlib1g-dev

On Fedora: sudo dnf install zlib-devel (in older versions: sudo dnf install libz-devel).

This will provide the development support files for a library implementing the deflate compression method found in gzip and PKZIP.

If you've already zlib library, make sure you're compiling your code sources with -lz. See: How to fix undefined references to inflate/deflate functions?.

JSON Structure for List of Objects

The second is almost correct:

{
    "foos" : [{
        "prop1":"value1",
        "prop2":"value2"
    }, {
        "prop1":"value3", 
        "prop2":"value4"
    }]
}

Get all object attributes in Python?

I use __dict__

Example:

class MyObj(object):
  def __init__(self):
    self.name = 'Chuck Norris'
    self.phone = '+6661'

obj = MyObj()
print(obj.__dict__)

# Output:  
# {'phone': '+6661', 'name': 'Chuck Norris'}

How do I do base64 encoding on iOS?

At the time this question was originally posted, people were understandably directing you to third-party base 64 libraries because of the lack of any native routines. But iOS 7 introduced base 64 encoding routines (which actually simply just exposes private methods iOS had going back to iOS 4).

So, you can use the NSData method base64EncodedStringWithOptions: to create a base-64 string from a NSData.

NSString *string = [data base64EncodedStringWithOptions:kNilOptions];

And you can use initWithBase64EncodedString:options: to convert a base-64 string back to a NSData:

NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:string options:kNilOptions]; 

Or, in Swift:

let string = data.base64EncodedString()

And

let data = Data(base64Encoded: string)

How to Lock Android App's Orientation to Portrait in Phones and Landscape in Tablets?

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

Your tried to turn that source file into an executable, which obviously isn't possible, because the mandatory entry point, the main function, isn't defined. Add a file main.cpp and define a main function. If you're working on the commandline (which I doubt), you can add /c to only compile and not link. This will produce an object file only, which needs to be linked into either a static or shared lib or an application (in which case you'll need an oject file with main defined).

_WinMain is Microsoft's name for main when linking.

Also: you're not running the code yet, you are compiling (and linking) it. C++ is not an interpreted language.

NULL vs nullptr (Why was it replaced?)

nullptr is always a pointer type. 0 (aka. C's NULL bridged over into C++) could cause ambiguity in overloaded function resolution, among other things:

Add new row to excel Table (VBA)

You don't say which version of Excel you are using. This is written for 2007/2010 (a different apprach is required for Excel 2003 )

You also don't say how you are calling addDataToTable and what you are passing into arrData.
I'm guessing you are passing a 0 based array. If this is the case (and the Table starts in Column A) then iCount will count from 0 and .Cells(lLastRow + 1, iCount) will try to reference column 0 which is invalid.

You are also not taking advantage of the ListObject. Your code assumes the ListObject1 is located starting at row 1. If this is not the case your code will place the data in the wrong row.

Here's an alternative that utilised the ListObject

Sub MyAdd(ByVal strTableName As String, ByRef arrData As Variant)
    Dim Tbl As ListObject
    Dim NewRow As ListRow

    ' Based on OP 
    ' Set Tbl = Worksheets(4).ListObjects(strTableName)
    ' Or better, get list on any sheet in workbook
    Set Tbl = Range(strTableName).ListObject
    Set NewRow = Tbl.ListRows.Add(AlwaysInsert:=True)

    ' Handle Arrays and Ranges
    If TypeName(arrData) = "Range" Then
        NewRow.Range = arrData.Value
    Else
        NewRow.Range = arrData
    End If
End Sub

Can be called in a variety of ways:

Sub zx()
    ' Pass a variant array copied from a range
    MyAdd "MyTable", [G1:J1].Value
    ' Pass a range
    MyAdd "MyTable", [G1:J1]
    ' Pass an array
    MyAdd "MyTable", Array(1, 2, 3, 4)
End Sub

Call a stored procedure with another in Oracle

@Michael Lockwood - you don't need to use the keyword "CALL" anywhere. You just need to mention the procedure call directly.

That is

Begin
   proc1(input1, input2);
end;
/

instead of

Begin
   call proc1(input1, input2);
end;
/

Getting list of pixel values from PIL

Or if you want to count white or black pixels

This is also a solution:

from PIL import Image
import operator

img = Image.open("your_file.png").convert('1')
black, white = img.getcolors()

print black[0]
print white[0]

TypeError: Missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

You can also get this error by prematurely taking PyCharm's advice to annotate a method @staticmethod. Remove the annotation.

What is reflection and why is it useful?

Example:

Take for example a remote application which gives your application an object which you obtain using their API Methods . Now based on the object you might need to perform some sort of computation .

The provider guarantees that object can be of 3 types and we need to perform computation based on what type of object .

So we might implement in 3 classes each containing a different logic .Obviously the object information is available in runtime so you cannot statically code to perform computation hence reflection is used to instantiate the object of the class that you require to perform the computation based on the object received from the provider .

How to copy a file to multiple directories using the gnu cp command

As far as I can see it you can use the following:

ls | xargs -n 1 cp -i file.dat

The -i option of cp command means that you will be asked whether to overwrite a file in the current directory with the file.dat. Though it is not a completely automatic solution it worked out for me.

Add centered text to the middle of a <hr/>-like line

CSS

.Divider {
width: 100%; height: 30px;  text-align: center;display: flex;
}
.Side{
width: 46.665%;padding: 30px 0;
}
.Middle{
width: 6.67%;padding: 20px 0;
}

HTML

<div class="Divider">
    <div class="Side"><hr></div>
    <div class="Middle"><span>OR</span></div>
    <div class="Side"><hr></div>
</div>

You may modify the width in class "side" and "middle" based on the length of your text in the tag "span". Be sure the width of the "middle" plus 2 times of the width of "side" equal to 100%.

SyntaxError: Unexpected Identifier in Chrome's Javascript console

The comma got eaten by the quotes!

This part:

Aside: For pasting code into the console, you can paste them in one line at a time to help you pinpoint where things went wrong ;-)

C/C++ macro string concatenation

You don't need that sort of solution for string literals, since they are concatenated at the language level, and it wouldn't work anyway because "s""1" isn't a valid preprocessor token.

[Edit: In response to the incorrect "Just for the record" comment below that unfortunately received several upvotes, I will reiterate the statement above and observe that the program fragment

#define PPCAT_NX(A, B) A ## B
PPCAT_NX("s", "1")

produces this error message from the preprocessing phase of gcc: error: pasting ""s"" and ""1"" does not give a valid preprocessing token

]

However, for general token pasting, try this:

/*
 * Concatenate preprocessor tokens A and B without expanding macro definitions
 * (however, if invoked from a macro, macro arguments are expanded).
 */
#define PPCAT_NX(A, B) A ## B

/*
 * Concatenate preprocessor tokens A and B after macro-expanding them.
 */
#define PPCAT(A, B) PPCAT_NX(A, B)

Then, e.g., both PPCAT_NX(s, 1) and PPCAT(s, 1) produce the identifier s1, unless s is defined as a macro, in which case PPCAT(s, 1) produces <macro value of s>1.

Continuing on the theme are these macros:

/*
 * Turn A into a string literal without expanding macro definitions
 * (however, if invoked from a macro, macro arguments are expanded).
 */
#define STRINGIZE_NX(A) #A

/*
 * Turn A into a string literal after macro-expanding it.
 */
#define STRINGIZE(A) STRINGIZE_NX(A)

Then,

#define T1 s
#define T2 1
STRINGIZE(PPCAT(T1, T2)) // produces "s1"

By contrast,

STRINGIZE(PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)) // produces "T1T2"
STRINGIZE_NX(PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)) // produces "PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)"

#define T1T2 visit the zoo
STRINGIZE(PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)) // produces "visit the zoo"
STRINGIZE_NX(PPCAT(T1, T2)) // produces "PPCAT(T1, T2)"

Angularjs loading screen on ajax request

I built on @DavidLin's answer a little to simplify it - removing any dependency on jQuery in the directive. I can confirm this works as I use it in a production application

function AjaxLoadingOverlay($http) {

    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function ($scope, $element, $attributes) {

            $scope.loadingOverlay = false;

            $scope.isLoading = function () {
                return $http.pendingRequests.length > 0;
            };

            $scope.$watch($scope.isLoading, function (isLoading) {
                $scope.loadingOverlay = isLoading;
            });
        }
    };
}   

I use a ng-show instead of a jQuery call to hide/show the <div>.

Here's the <div> which I placed just below the opening <body> tag:

<div ajax-loading-overlay class="loading-overlay" ng-show="loadingOverlay">
    <img src="Resources/Images/LoadingAnimation.gif" />
</div>

And here's the CSS that provides the overlay to block UI while a $http call is being made:

.loading-overlay {
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 999;
    height: 2em;
    width: 2em;
    overflow: show;
    margin: auto;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
}

.loading-overlay:before {
    content: '';
    display: block;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}

/* :not(:required) hides these rules from IE9 and below */
.loading-overlay:not(:required) {
    font: 0/0 a;
    color: transparent;
    text-shadow: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: 0;
}

New warnings in iOS 9: "all bitcode will be dropped"

This issue has been recently fixed (Nov 2010) by Google, see https://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=671. But be aware that as a good fix it brings more bugs :)

You will also have to follow the initialisation method listed here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ios/v2.

A simple command line to download a remote maven2 artifact to the local repository?

As of version 2.4 of the Maven Dependency Plugin, you can also define a target destination for the artifact by using the -Ddest flag. It should point to a filename (not a directory) for the destination artifact. See the parameter page for additional parameters that can be used

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get \
    -DremoteRepositories=http://download.java.net/maven/2 \
    -Dartifact=robo-guice:robo-guice:0.4-SNAPSHOT \

Insert, on duplicate update in PostgreSQL?

UPDATE will return the number of modified rows. If you use JDBC (Java), you can then check this value against 0 and, if no rows have been affected, fire INSERT instead. If you use some other programming language, maybe the number of the modified rows still can be obtained, check documentation.

This may not be as elegant but you have much simpler SQL that is more trivial to use from the calling code. Differently, if you write the ten line script in PL/PSQL, you probably should have a unit test of one or another kind just for it alone.

Overloading and overriding

Proper MIME type for OTF fonts

Ignore the chrome warning. There is no standard MIME type for OTF fonts.

font/opentype may silence the warning, but that doesn't make it the "right" thing to do.

Arguably, you're better off making one up, e.g. with "application/x-opentype" because at least "application" is a registered content type, while "font" is not.

Update: OTF remains a problem, but WOFF grew an IANA MIME type of application/font-woff in January 2013.

Update 2: OTF has grown a MIME type: application/font-sfnt In March 2013. This type also applies to .ttf

insert datetime value in sql database with c#

you can send your DateTime value into SQL as a String with its special format. this format is "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"

Example: CurrentTime is a variable as datetime Type in SQL. And dt is a DateTime variable in .Net.

DateTime dt=DateTime.Now;
string sql = "insert into Users (CurrentTime) values (‘{0}’)";

sql = string.Format(sql, dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") );

Passing ArrayList through Intent

Suppose you need to pass an arraylist of following class from current activity to next activity // class of the objects those in the arraylist // remember to implement the class from Serializable interface // Serializable means it converts the object into stream of bytes and helps to transfer that object

public class Question implements Serializable {
... 
... 
...
}

in your current activity you probably have an ArrayList as follows

ArrayList<Question> qsList = new ArrayList<>();
qsList.add(new Question(1));
qsList.add(new Question(2));
qsList.add(new Question(3));

// intialize Bundle instance
Bundle b = new Bundle();
// putting questions list into the bundle .. as key value pair.
// so you can retrieve the arrayList with this key
b.putSerializable("questions", (Serializable) qsList);
Intent i = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
i.putExtras(b);
startActivity(i);

in order to get the arraylist within the next activity

//get the bundle
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
//getting the arraylist from the key
ArrayList<Question> q = (ArrayList<Question>) b.getSerializable("questions");

How to loop through key/value object in Javascript?

Beware of properties inherited from the object's prototype (which could happen if you're including any libraries on your page, such as older versions of Prototype). You can check for this by using the object's hasOwnProperty() method. This is generally a good idea when using for...in loops:

var user = {};

function setUsers(data) {
    for (var k in data) {
        if (data.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
           user[k] = data[k];
        }
    }
}

How to bind multiple values to a single WPF TextBlock?

You can use a MultiBinding combined with the StringFormat property. Usage would resemble the following:

<TextBlock>
    <TextBlock.Text>    
        <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0} + {1}">
            <Binding Path="Name" />
            <Binding Path="ID" />
        </MultiBinding>
    </TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>

Giving Name a value of Foo and ID a value of 1, your output in the TextBlock would then be Foo + 1.

Note: that this is only supported in .NET 3.5 SP1 and 3.0 SP2 or later.

What is the point of the diamond operator (<>) in Java 7?

Your understanding is slightly flawed. The diamond operator is a nice feature as you don't have to repeat yourself. It makes sense to define the type once when you declare the type but just doesn't make sense to define it again on the right side. The DRY principle.

Now to explain all the fuzz about defining types. You are right that the type is removed at runtime but once you want to retrieve something out of a List with type definition you get it back as the type you've defined when declaring the list otherwise it would lose all specific features and have only the Object features except when you'd cast the retrieved object to it's original type which can sometimes be very tricky and result in a ClassCastException.

Using List<String> list = new LinkedList() will get you rawtype warnings.

Effective way to find any file's Encoding

.NET is not very helpful, but you can try the following algorithm:

  1. try to find the encoding by BOM(byte order mark) ... very likely not to be found
  2. try parsing into different encodings

Here is the call:

var encoding = FileHelper.GetEncoding(filePath);
if (encoding == null)
    throw new Exception("The file encoding is not supported. Please choose one of the following encodings: UTF8/UTF7/iso-8859-1");

Here is the code:

public class FileHelper
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Determines a text file's encoding by analyzing its byte order mark (BOM) and if not found try parsing into diferent encodings       
    /// Defaults to UTF8 when detection of the text file's endianness fails.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="filename">The text file to analyze.</param>
    /// <returns>The detected encoding or null.</returns>

Excel formula to display ONLY month and year?

There are a number of ways to go about this. One way would be to enter the date 8/1/2013 manually in the first cell (say A1 for example's sake) and then in B1 type the following formula (and then drag it across):

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)

Since you only want to see month and year, you can format accordingly using the different custom date formats available.

The format you're looking for is YY-Mmm.

How do you make a HTTP request with C++?

If you are looking for a HTTP client library in C++ that is supported in multiple platforms (Linux, Windows and Mac) for consuming Restful web services. You can have below options.

  1. QT Network Library - Allows the application to send network requests and receive replies
  2. C++ REST SDK - An emerging third-party HTTP library with PPL support
  3. Libcurl - It is probably one of the most used http lib in the native world.

How to pass a PHP variable using the URL

All the above answers are correct, but I noticed something very important. Leaving a space between the variable and the equal sign might result in a problem. For example, (?variablename =value)

Putting a password to a user in PhpMyAdmin in Wamp

Get back to the default setting by following this step:

Instead of

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

change it to:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

in your config.inc.php file.

Do not specify any password and put the user name as it was before, which means root.

E.g.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

This worked for me after i had edited my config.inc.php file.

ORA-12528: TNS Listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections. Instance "CLRExtProc", status UNKNOWN

You have to know if the problem come from the listener or from the database.

  • So first, restart the listener, it could solve the problem.

  • Second, it could come from the db if it's not in open mode (nomount, mount, restrict). To check it, connect locally and do the following query:

    sqlplus /nolog

    connect / as sysdba

    SQL> select instance_name, status, database_status from v$instance;

"multiple target patterns" Makefile error

I just want to add, if you get this error because you are using Cygwin make and auto-generated files, you can fix it with the following sed,

sed -e 's@\\\([^ ]\)@/\1@g' -e 's@[cC]:@/cygdrive/c@' -i filename.d

You may need to add more characters than just space to the escape list in the first substitution but you get the idea. The concept here is that /cygdrive/c is an alias for c: that cygwin's make will recognize.

And may as well throw in

-e 's@^ \+@\t@'

just in case you did start with spaces on accident (although I /think/ this will usually be a "missing separator" error).

"Stack overflow in line 0" on Internet Explorer

This is problem with Java and Flash Player. Install the latest Java and Flash Player, and the problem will be resolved. If not, then install Mozilla Firefox, it will auto install the updates required.

Append an empty row in dataframe using pandas

Assuming df is your dataframe,

df_prime = pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame([[np.nan] * df.shape[1]], columns=df.columns)], ignore_index=True)

where df_prime equals df with an additional last row of NaN's.

Note that pd.concat is slow so if you need this functionality in a loop, it's best to avoid using it. In that case, assuming your index is incremental, you can use

df.loc[df.iloc[-1].name + 1,:] = np.nan

Is it possible to use 'else' in a list comprehension?

Yes, else can be used in Python inside a list comprehension with a Conditional Expression ("ternary operator"):

>>> [("A" if b=="e" else "c") for b in "comprehension"]
['c', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'A', 'c', 'A', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'c']

Here, the parentheses "()" are just to emphasize the conditional expression, they are not necessarily required (Operator precedence).

Additionaly, several expressions can be nested, resulting in more elses and harder to read code:

>>> ["A" if b=="e" else "d" if True else "x" for b in "comprehension"]
['d', 'd', 'd', 'd', 'd', 'A', 'd', 'A', 'd', 'd', 'd', 'd', 'd']
>>>

On a related note, a comprehension can also contain its own if condition(s) at the end:

>>> ["A" if b=="e" else "c" for b in "comprehension" if False]
[]
>>> ["A" if b=="e" else "c" for b in "comprehension" if "comprehension".index(b)%2]
['c', 'c', 'A', 'A', 'c', 'c']

Conditions? Yes, multiple ifs are possible, and actually multiple fors, too:

>>> [i for i in range(3) for _ in range(3)]
[0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]
>>> [i for i in range(3) if i for _ in range(3) if _ if True if True]
[1, 1, 2, 2]

(The single underscore _ is a valid variable name (identifier) in Python, used here just to show it's not actually used. It has a special meaning in interactive mode)

Using this for an additional conditional expression is possible, but of no real use:

>>> [i for i in range(3)]
[0, 1, 2]
>>> [i for i in range(3) if i]
[1, 2]
>>> [i for i in range(3) if (True if i else False)]
[1, 2]

Comprehensions can also be nested to create "multi-dimensional" lists ("arrays"):

>>> [[i for j in range(i)] for i in range(3)]
[[], [1], [2, 2]]

Last but not least, a comprehension is not limited to creating a list, i.e. else and if can also be used the same way in a set comprehension:

>>> {i for i in "set comprehension"}
{'o', 'p', 'm', 'n', 'c', 'r', 'i', 't', 'h', 'e', 's', ' '}

and a dictionary comprehension:

>>> {k:v for k,v in [("key","value"), ("dict","comprehension")]}
{'key': 'value', 'dict': 'comprehension'}

The same syntax is also used for Generator Expressions:

>>> for g in ("a" if b else "c" for b in "generator"):
...     print(g, end="")
...
aaaaaaaaa>>>

which can be used to create a tuple (there is no tuple comprehension).

AngularJS : Why ng-bind is better than {{}} in angular?

{{...}} is meant two-way data binding. But, ng-bind is actually meant for one-way data binding.

Using ng-bind will reduce the number of watchers in your page. Hence ng-bind will be faster than {{...}}. So, if you only want to display a value and its updates, and do not want to reflect its change from UI back to the controller, then go for ng-bind. This will increase the page performance and reduce the page load time.

<div>
  Hello, <span ng-bind="variable"></span>

How do I close an open port from the terminal on the Mac?

I use lsof combined with kill, as mentioned above; but wrote a quick little bash script to automate this process.

With this script, you can simply type killport 3000 from anywhere, and it will kill all processes running on port 3000.

How to quietly remove a directory with content in PowerShell

2018 Update

In the current version of PowerShell (tested with v5.1 on Windows 10 1809) one can use the simpler Unix syntax rm -R .\DirName to silently delete the directory .\DirName with all subdirectories and files it may contain. In fact many common Unix commands work in the same way in PowerShell as in a Linux command line.

How do I add a library project to Android Studio?

Update for Android Studio 1.0

Since Android Studio 1.0 was released (and a lot of versions between v1.0 and one of the firsts from the time of my previous answer) some things has changed.

My description is focused on adding external library project by hand via Gradle files (for better understanding the process). If you want to add a library via Android Studio creator just check the answer below with visual guide (there are some differences between Android Studio 1.0 and those from screenshots, but the process is very similar).

Before you start adding a library to your project by hand, consider adding the external dependency. It won’t mess in your project structure. Almost every well-known Android library is available in a Maven repository and its installation takes only one line of code in the app/build.gradle file:

dependencies {
     compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:6.0.0'
}

Adding the library

Here is the full process of adding external Android library to our project:

  1. Create a new project via Android Studio creator. I named it HelloWorld.
  2. Here is the original project structure created by Android Studio:
HelloWorld/
      app/
           - build.gradle  // local Gradle configuration (for app only)
           ...
      - build.gradle // Global Gradle configuration (for whole project)
      - settings.gradle
      - gradle.properties
      ...
  1. In the root directory (HelloWorld/), create new folder: /libs in which we’ll place our external libraries (this step is not required - only for keeping a cleaner project structure).
  2. Paste your library in the newly created /libs folder. In this example I used PagerSlidingTabStrip library (just download ZIP from GitHub, rename library directory to „PagerSlidingTabStrip" and copy it). Here is the new structure of our project:
HelloWorld/
      app/
           - build.gradle  // Local Gradle configuration (for app only)
           ...
      libs/
           PagerSlidingTabStrip/
                - build.gradle // Local Gradle configuration (for library only)
      - build.gradle // Global Gradle configuration (for whole project)
      - settings.gradle
      - gradle.properties
      ...
  1. Edit settings.gradle by adding your library to include. If you use a custom path like I did, you have also to define the project directory for our library. A whole settings.gradle should look like below:

    include ':app', ':PagerSlidingTabStrip'
    project(':PagerSlidingTabStrip').projectDir = new File('libs/PagerSlidingTabStrip')
    

5.1 If you face "Default Configuration" error, then try this instead of step 5,

    include ':app'
    include ':libs:PagerSlidingTabStrip'
  1. In app/build.gradle add our library project as an dependency:

    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
        compile project(":PagerSlidingTabStrip")
    }
    

6.1. If you followed step 5.1, then follow this instead of 6,

    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'

        compile project(":libs:PagerSlidingTabStrip")
    }
  1. If your library project doesn’t have build.gradle file you have to create it manually. Here is example of that file:

        apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
    
        dependencies {
            compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
        }
    
        android {
            compileSdkVersion 21
            buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
    
            defaultConfig {
                minSdkVersion 14
                targetSdkVersion 21
            }
    
            sourceSets {
                main {
                    manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
                    java.srcDirs = ['src']
                    res.srcDirs = ['res']
                }
            }
        }
    
  2. Additionally you can create a global configuration for your project which will contain SDK versions and build tools version for every module to keep consistency. Just edit gradle.properties file and add lines:

    ANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION=14
    ANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION=21
    ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=21.1.3
    ANDROID_BUILD_SDK_VERSION=21
    

    Now you can use it in your build.gradle files (in app and libraries modules) like below:

    //...
    android {
        compileSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_SDK_VERSION)
        buildToolsVersion project.ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION
    
        defaultConfig {
            minSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION)
            targetSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION)
        }
    }
    //...
    
  3. That’s all. Just click‚ synchronise the project with the Gradle’ icon synchronise with Gradle. Your library should be available in your project.

Google I/O 2013 - The New Android SDK Build System is a great presentation about building Android apps with Gradle Build System: As Xavier Ducrohet said:

Android Studio is all about editing, and debugging and profiling. It's not about building any more.

At the beginning it may be little bit confusing (especially for those, who works with Eclipse and have never seen the ant - like me ;) ), but at the end Gradle gives us some great opportunities and it worth to learn this build system.

SQL Server check case-sensitivity?

You're interested in the collation. You could build something based on this snippet:

SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('master', 'Collation');

Update
Based on your edit — If @test and @TEST can ever refer to two different variables, it's not SQL Server. If you see problems where the same variable is not equal to itself, check if that variable is NULL, because NULL = NULL returns `false.

How do I remove an item from a stl vector with a certain value?

*

C++ community has heard your request :)

*

C++ 20 provides an easy way of doing it now. It gets as simple as :

#include <vector>
...
vector<int> cnt{5, 0, 2, 8, 0, 7};
std::erase(cnt, 0);

You should check out std::erase and std::erase_if.

Not only will it remove all elements of the value (here '0'), it will do it in O(n) time complexity. Which is the very best you can get.

If your compiler does not support C++ 20, you should use erase-remove idiom:

#include <algorithm>
...
vec.erase(std::remove(vec.begin(), vec.end(), 0), vec.end());

Which TensorFlow and CUDA version combinations are compatible?

if you are coding in jupyter notebook, and want to check which cuda version tf is using, run the follow command directly into jupyter cell:

!conda list cudatoolkit

!conda list cudnn

and to check if the gpu is visible to tf:

tf.test.is_gpu_available(
    cuda_only=False, min_cuda_compute_capability=None
)

How to re import an updated package while in Python Interpreter?

No matter how many times you import a module, you'll get the same copy of the module from sys.modules - which was loaded at first import mymodule

I am answering this late, as each of the above/previous answer has a bit of the answer, so I am attempting to sum it all up in a single answer.

Using built-in function:

For Python 2.x - Use the built-in reload(mymodule) function.

For Python 3.x - Use the imp.reload(mymodule).

For Python 3.4 - In Python 3.4 imp has been deprecated in favor of importlib i.e. importlib.reload(mymodule)

Few caveats:

  • It is generally not very useful to reload built-in or dynamically loaded modules. Reloading sys, __main__, builtins and other key modules is not recommended.
  • In many cases extension modules are not designed to be initialized more than once, and may fail in arbitrary ways when reloaded. If a module imports objects from another module using from ... import ..., calling reload() for the other module does not redefine the objects imported from it — one way around this is to re-execute the from statement, another is to use import and qualified names (module.name) instead.
  • If a module instantiates instances of a class, reloading the module that defines the class does not affect the method definitions of the instances — they continue to use the old class definition. The same is true for derived classes.

External packages:

reimport - Reimport currently supports Python 2.4 through 2.7.

xreload- This works by executing the module in a scratch namespace, and then patching classes, methods and functions in place. This avoids the need to patch instances. New objects are copied into the target namespace.

livecoding - Code reloading allows a running application to change its behaviour in response to changes in the Python scripts it uses. When the library detects a Python script has been modified, it reloads that script and replaces the objects it had previously made available for use with newly reloaded versions. As a tool, it allows a programmer to avoid interruption to their workflow and a corresponding loss of focus. It enables them to remain in a state of flow. Where previously they might have needed to restart the application in order to put changed code into effect, those changes can be applied immediately.

How to convert float to varchar in SQL Server

Based on molecular's answer:

DECLARE @F FLOAT = 1000000000.1234;
SELECT @F AS Original, CAST(FORMAT(@F, N'#.##############################') AS VARCHAR) AS Formatted;

SET @F = 823399066925.049
SELECT @F AS Original, CAST(@F AS VARCHAR) AS Formatted
UNION ALL SELECT @F AS Original, CONVERT(VARCHAR(128), @F, 128) AS Formatted
UNION ALL SELECT @F AS Original, CAST(FORMAT(@F, N'G') AS VARCHAR) AS Formatted;

SET @F = 0.502184537571209
SELECT @F AS Original, CAST(@F AS VARCHAR) AS Formatted
UNION ALL SELECT @F AS Original, CONVERT(VARCHAR(128), @F, 128) AS Formatted
UNION ALL SELECT @F AS Original, CAST(FORMAT(@F, N'G') AS VARCHAR) AS Formatted;

Writing sqlplus output to a file

Make sure you have the access to the directory you are trying to spool. I tried to spool to root and it did not created the file (e.g c:\test.txt). You can check where you are spooling by issuing spool command.

Using SUMIFS with multiple AND OR conditions

With the following, it is easy to link the Cell address...

=SUM(SUMIFS(FAGLL03!$I$4:$I$1048576,FAGLL03!$A$4:$A$1048576,">="&INDIRECT("A"&ROW()),FAGLL03!$A$4:$A$1048576,"<="&INDIRECT("B"&ROW()),FAGLL03!$Q$4:$Q$1048576,E$2))

Can use address / substitute / Column functions as required to use Cell addresses in full DYNAMIC.

Filter LogCat to get only the messages from My Application in Android?

Copy output of a JavaScript variable to the clipboard

For general purposes of copying any text to the clipboard, I wrote the following function:

function textToClipboard (text) {
    var dummy = document.createElement("textarea");
    document.body.appendChild(dummy);
    dummy.value = text;
    dummy.select();
    document.execCommand("copy");
    document.body.removeChild(dummy);
}

The value of the parameter is inserted into value of a newly created <textarea>, which is then selected, its value is copied to the clipboard and then it gets removed from the document.

Any reason to prefer getClass() over instanceof when generating .equals()?

If you use instanceof, making your equals implementation final will preserve the symmetry contract of the method: x.equals(y) == y.equals(x). If final seems restrictive, carefully examine your notion of object equivalence to make sure that your overriding implementations fully maintain the contract established by the Object class.

Drop primary key using script in SQL Server database

The answer I got is that variables and subqueries will not work and we have to user dynamic SQL script. The following works:

DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(4000)
SET @SQL = 'ALTER TABLE dbo.Student DROP CONSTRAINT |ConstraintName| '

SET @SQL = REPLACE(@SQL, '|ConstraintName|', ( SELECT   name
                                               FROM     sysobjects
                                               WHERE    xtype = 'PK'
                                                        AND parent_obj =        OBJECT_ID('Student')))

How does one Display a Hyperlink in React Native App?

React Native documentation suggests using Linking:

Reference

Here is a very basic use case:

import { Linking } from 'react-native';

const url="https://google.com"

<Text onPress={() => Linking.openURL(url)}>
    {url}
</Text>

You can use either functional or class component notation, dealers choice.

Is it possible to program iPhone in C++

Having some experience of this, you can indeed use C++ code for your "core" code, but you have to use objective-C for anything iPhone specific.

Don't try to force Objective-C to act like C++. At first it will seem to you this is possible, but the resulting code really won't work well with Cocoa, and you will get very confused as to what is going on. Take the time to learn properly, without any C++ around, how to build GUIs and iPhone applications, then link in your C++ base.

What does "\r" do in the following script?

The '\r' character is the carriage return, and the carriage return-newline pair is both needed for newline in a network virtual terminal session.


From the old telnet specification (RFC 854) (page 11):

The sequence "CR LF", as defined, will cause the NVT to be positioned at the left margin of the next print line (as would, for example, the sequence "LF CR").

However, from the latest specification (RFC5198) (page 13):

  1. ...

  2. In Net-ASCII, CR MUST NOT appear except when immediately followed by either NUL or LF, with the latter (CR LF) designating the "new line" function. Today and as specified above, CR should generally appear only when followed by LF. Because page layout is better done in other ways, because NUL has a special interpretation in some programming languages, and to avoid other types of confusion, CR NUL should preferably be avoided as specified above.

  3. LF CR SHOULD NOT appear except as a side-effect of multiple CR LF sequences (e.g., CR LF CR LF).

So newline in Telnet should always be '\r\n' but most implementations have either not been updated, or keeps the old '\n\r' for backwards compatibility.

Why is 22 the default port number for SFTP?

From Wikipedia:

Applications implementing common services often use specifically reserved, well-known port numbers for receiving service requests from client hosts. This process is known as listening and involves the receipt of a request on the well-known port and reestablishing one-to-one server-client communications on another private port, so that other clients may also contact the well-known service port. The well-known ports are defined by convention overseen by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Source

So as others mentioned, it's a convention.

How do I fix twitter-bootstrap on IE?

If you are within the intranet and the settings are set to compatibility mode, then proper doctypes and respond.js is not enough.

Please refer to this link for more info: Force IE8 or IE9 document mode to standards and see Ralph Bacon's answer.

It would be same as this:

Angularjs ng-model doesn't work inside ng-if

We had this in many other cases, what we decided internally is to always have a wrapper for the controller/directive so that we don't need to think about it. Here is you example with our wrapper.

What's the difference between Docker Compose vs. Dockerfile

Dockerfile and Docker Compose are two different concepts in Dockerland. When we talk about Docker, the first things that come to mind are orchestration, OS level virtualization, images, containers, etc.. I will try to explain each as follows:

Image: An image is an immutable, shareable file that is stored in a Docker-trusted registry. A Docker image is built up from a series of read-only layers. Each layer represents an instruction that is being given in the image’s Dockerfile. An image holds all the required binaries to run.

enter image description here

Container: An instance of an image is called a container. A container is just an executable image binary that is to be run by the host OS. A running image is a container.

enter image description here

Dockerfile: A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all of the commands / build instructions, a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. This will be saved as a Dockerfile. (Note the lowercase 'f'.)

enter image description here

Docker-Compose: Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services (containers). Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. The Compose file would be saved as docker-compose.yml.

How to get the URL without any parameters in JavaScript?

Just one more alternative using URL

var theUrl = new URL(window.location.href);
theUrl.search = ""; //Remove any params
theUrl //as URL object
theUrl.href //as a string

Get first letter of a string from column

Cast the dtype of the col to str and you can perform vectorised slicing calling str:

In [29]:
df['new_col'] = df['First'].astype(str).str[0]
df

Out[29]:
   First  Second new_col
0    123     234       1
1     22    4353       2
2     32     355       3
3    453     453       4
4     45     345       4
5    453     453       4
6     56      56       5

if you need to you can cast the dtype back again calling astype(int) on the column

How to display databases in Oracle 11g using SQL*Plus

I am not clearly about it but typically one server has one database (with many users), if you create many databases mean that you create many instances, listeners, ... as well. So you can check your LISTENER to identify it.

In my testing I created 2 databases (dbtest and dbtest_1) so when I check my LISTENER status it appeared like this:

lsnrctl status

....

STATUS of the LISTENER

.....

(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.10.20.20)(PORT=1521)))

Services Summary...

Service "dbtest" has 1 instance(s).

Instance "dbtest", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Instance "dbtest1", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Service "dbtest_1" has 1 instance(s).

JSON Post with Customized HTTPHeader Field

if one wants to use .post() then this will set headers for all future request made with jquery

$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
});

then make your .post() calls as normal.

Tensorflow installation error: not a supported wheel on this platform

I was trying to install CPU TF on Ubuntu 18.04, and the best way (for me...) I found for it was using it on top of Conda, for that:

  1. To create Conda ‘tensorflow’ env. Follow https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-anaconda-on-ubuntu-18-04/

  2. After all installed see https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/getting-started.html And use it according to https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#managing-environments

  3. conda create --name tensorflow

  4. source activate tensorflow

  5. pip install --upgrade pip

  6. pip uninstall tensorflow

  7. For CPU: pip install tensorflow-cpu, for GPU: pip install tensorflow

  8. pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

  9. Test TF E.g. on 'Where' with:

python

import tensorflow as tf

tf.where([[True, False], [False, True]])

expected result:

<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 2), dtype=int64, numpy=
array([[0, 0],
       [1, 1]])>
  • After Conda upgrade I got: DeprecationWarning: 'source deactivate' is deprecated. Use 'conda deactivate'.

So you should use:

‘conda activate tensorflow’ / ‘conda deactivate’

Just add below assembly reference in your aspx file.

Here, 15.0.0.0 is the version number of the ReportViewerControl.WebForms that was installed in my VS. Please check Reference of the Solution to confirm the version number. No need to add PublicTokens (if multiple installation exists, it may creates trouble again).

Unable to set data attribute using jQuery Data() API

Happened the same to me. It turns out that

var data = $.extend({}, $("#myObject").data());

And from then on, data was a standard, writable JS object.

What is a daemon thread in Java?

Daemon threads are low-priority threads whose only role is to provide services to user threads.

Daemon threads are generally created by JVM for background tasks while user threads are created by application for foreground tasks.

Since daemon threads are meant to serve user threads and are only needed while user threads are running, they won't prevent the JVM from exiting once all user threads have finished their execution.

We can set non-daemon thread to daemon using :

setDaemon(true)

No resource found that matches the given name '@style/ Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar'

Make sure you've set your target API (different from the target SDK) in the Project Properties (not the manifest) to be at least 4.0/API 14.

size of uint8, uint16 and uint32?

It's quite unclear how you are computing the size ("the size in debug mode"?").

Use printf():

printf("the size of c is %u\n", (unsigned int) sizeof c);

Normally you'd print a size_t value (which is the type sizeof returns) with %zu, but if you're using a pre-C99 compiler like Visual Studio that won't work.

You need to find the typedef statements in your code that define the custom names like uint8 and so on; those are not standard so nobody here can know how they're defined in your code.

New C code should use <stdint.h> which gives you uint8_t and so on.

How to check if an element of a list is a list (in Python)?

Probably, more intuitive way would be like this

if type(e) is list:
    print('Found a list element inside the list') 

Checking if an object is null in C#

As of C# 9 you can do

if (obj is null) { ... }

For not null use

if (obj is not null) { ... }

If you need to override this behaviour use == and != accordingly.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 23: ordinal not in range(128)

When you get a UnicodeEncodeError, it means that somewhere in your code you convert directly a byte string to a unicode one. By default in Python 2 it uses ascii encoding, and utf8 encoding in Python3 (both may fail because not every byte is valid in either encoding)

To avoid that, you must use explicit decoding.

If you may have 2 different encoding in your input file, one of them accepts any byte (say UTF8 and Latin1), you can try to first convert a string with first and use the second one if a UnicodeDecodeError occurs.

def robust_decode(bs):
    '''Takes a byte string as param and convert it into a unicode one.
First tries UTF8, and fallback to Latin1 if it fails'''
    cr = None
    try:
        cr = bs.decode('utf8')
    except UnicodeDecodeError:
        cr = bs.decode('latin1')
    return cr

If you do not know original encoding and do not care for non ascii character, you can set the optional errors parameter of the decode method to replace. Any offending byte will be replaced (from the standard library documentation):

Replace with a suitable replacement character; Python will use the official U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER for the built-in Unicode codecs on decoding and ‘?’ on encoding.

bs.decode(errors='replace')

When do I need a fb:app_id or fb:admins?

Including the fb:app_id tag in your HTML HEAD will allow the Facebook scraper to associate the Open Graph entity for that URL with an application. This will allow any admins of that app to view Insights about that URL and any social plugins connected with it.

The fb:admins tag is similar, but allows you to just specify each user ID that you would like to give the permission to do the above.

You can include either of these tags or both, depending on how many people you want to admin the Insights, etc. A single as fb:admins is pretty much a minimum requirement. The rest of the Open Graph tags will still be picked up when people share and like your URL, however it may cause problems in the future, so please include one of the above.

fb:admins is specified like this:
<meta property="fb:admins" content="USER_ID"/>
OR
<meta property="fb:admins" content="USER_ID,USER_ID2,USER_ID3"/>

and fb:app_id like this:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="APPID"/>

Get SELECT's value and text in jQuery

on the basis of your only jQuery tag :)

HTML

<select id="my-select">
<option value="1">This is text 1</option>
<option value="2">This is text 2</option>
<option value="3">This is text 3</option>
</select>

For text --

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#my-select").change(function() {
        alert($('#my-select option:selected').html());
    });
});

For value --

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#my-select").change(function() {
        alert($(this).val());
    });
});

Joining 2 SQL SELECT result sets into one

Use JOIN to join the subqueries and use ON to say where the rows from each subquery must match:

FROM (SELECT col_a, col_b, ...etc...) AS T1
JOIN (SELECT col_a, col_c, ...etc...) AS T2
ON T1.col_a = T2.col_a

If there are some values of col_a that are in T1 but not in T2, you can use a LEFT OUTER JOIN instead.

How to make a section of an image a clickable link

If you don't want to make the button a separate image, you can use the <area> tag. This is done by using html similar to this:

<img src="imgsrc" width="imgwidth" height="imgheight" alt="alttext" usemap="#mapname">

<map name="mapname">
    <area shape="rect" coords="see note 1" href="link" alt="alttext">
</map>

Note 1: The coords=" " attribute must be formatted in this way: coords="x1,y1,x2,y2" where:

x1=top left X coordinate
y1=top left Y coordinate
x2=bottom right X coordinate
y2=bottom right Y coordinate

Note 2: The usemap="#mapname" attribute must include the #.

EDIT:

I looked at your code and added in the <map> and <area> tags where they should be. I also commented out some parts that were either overlapping the image or seemed there for no use.

<div class="flexslider">

                <map name="imgmap">
                    <area shape="rect" coords="48,341,294,275" href="http://www.example.com/">
                </map>
                <!--<a href="#" style="display:block; background:#00F; width:356px; height:66px; position:absolute; left:1px; top:-19px; left: 162px; top: 279px;"></a>-->
            </div>

    </ul>
</div>
<!-- <ul class="flex-direction-nav">

    <li><a class="flex-next" href="#"><i class="icon-angle-right"></i></a></li>
</ul> -->

Notes:

  1. The coord="48,341,294,275" is in reference to your screenshot you posted.
  2. The src="./test.png" is the location and name of the screenshot you posted on my computer.
  3. The href="http://www.example.com/" is an example link.

Which MIME type to use for a binary file that's specific to my program?

I'd recommend application/octet-stream as RFC2046 says "The "octet-stream" subtype is used to indicate that a body contains arbitrary binary data" and "The recommended action for an implementation that receives an "application/octet-stream" entity is to simply offer to put the data in a file[...]".

I think that way you will get better handling from arbitrary programs, that might barf when encountering your unknown mime type.

How do I vertically align text in a paragraph?

If you use Bootstrap, try to assign margin-bottom 0 to the paragraph and after assign the property align-items-center to container, for example, like this:

<div class="row align-items-center">
     <p class="col-sm-1 mb-0">
          ....
     </p>
</div>

Bootstrap by default assign a calculate margin bottom, so mb-0 disabled this.

I hope it helps

Easiest way to convert int to string in C++

Using the plain standard stdio header, you can cast the integer over sprintf into a buffer, like so:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
  {
  int x=23;
  char y[2]; //the output buffer
  sprintf(y,"%d",x);
  printf("%s",y)
  }

Remember to take care of your buffer size according to your needs [the string output size]

View google chrome's cached pictures

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

paste this in your address bar and enter, you will get all the files

just rename the files extension into the extension which u r looking.

ie. open command prompt then

C:\>cd %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

then

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache>ren *.* *.jpg

Put spacing between divs in a horizontal row?

Another idea: Compensate for your margin on the opposite side of the div.

For the side with the spacing you are looking to achieve as an example: 10px, and for the opposing side, compensate with a -10px. It works for me. This likely won't work in all scenarios, but depending on your layout and spacing of other elements, it might work great.

How do I search for an object by its ObjectId in the mongo console?

If you are working on the mongo shell, Please refer this : Answer from Tyler Brock

I wrote the answer if you are using mongodb using node.js

You don't need to convert the id into an ObjectId. Just use :

db.collection.findById('4ecbe7f9e8c1c9092c000027');

this collection method will automatically convert id into ObjectId.

On the other hand :

db.collection.findOne({"_id":'4ecbe7f9e8c1c9092c000027'}) doesn't work as expected. You've manually convert id into ObjectId.

That can be done like this :

let id = '58c85d1b7932a14c7a0a320d';

let o_id = new ObjectId(id);   // id as a string is passed

db.collection.findOne({"_id":o_id});

How do I add an element to a list in Groovy?

From the documentation:

We can add to a list in many ways:

assert [1,2] + 3 + [4,5] + 6 == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
assert [1,2].plus(3).plus([4,5]).plus(6) == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
    //equivalent method for +
def a= [1,2,3]; a += 4; a += [5,6]; assert a == [1,2,3,4,5,6]
assert [1, *[222, 333], 456] == [1, 222, 333, 456]
assert [ *[1,2,3] ] == [1,2,3]
assert [ 1, [2,3,[4,5],6], 7, [8,9] ].flatten() == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

def list= [1,2]
list.add(3) //alternative method name
list.addAll([5,4]) //alternative method name
assert list == [1,2,3,5,4]

list= [1,2]
list.add(1,3) //add 3 just before index 1
assert list == [1,3,2]
list.addAll(2,[5,4]) //add [5,4] just before index 2
assert list == [1,3,5,4,2]

list = ['a', 'b', 'z', 'e', 'u', 'v', 'g']
list[8] = 'x'
assert list == ['a', 'b', 'z', 'e', 'u', 'v', 'g', null, 'x']

You can also do:

def myNewList = myList << "fifth"

Convert Text to Date?

You can use DateValue to convert your string to a date in this instance

Dim c As Range
For Each c In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.columns("A").Cells
    c.Value = DateValue(c.Value)
Next c

It can convert yyyy-mm-dd format string directly into a native Excel date value.

Python subprocess.Popen "OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory"

Have you tried using:

(status,output) = commands.getstatusoutput("ps aux")

I thought this had fixed the exact same problem for me. But then my process ended up getting killed instead of failing to spawn, which is even worse..

After some testing I found that this only occurred on older versions of python: it happens with 2.6.5 but not with 2.7.2

My search had led me here python-close_fds-issue, but unsetting closed_fds had not solved the issue. It is still well worth a read.

I found that python was leaking file descriptors by just keeping an eye on it:

watch "ls /proc/$PYTHONPID/fd | wc -l"

Like you, I do want to capture the command's output, and I do want to avoid OOM errors... but it looks like the only way is for people to use a less buggy version of Python. Not ideal...

Sort JavaScript object by key

There's a great project by @sindresorhus called sort-keys that works awesome.

You can check its source code here:

https://github.com/sindresorhus/sort-keys

Or you can use it with npm:

$ npm install --save sort-keys

Here are also code examples from his readme

const sortKeys = require('sort-keys');

sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0});
//=> {a: 0, b: 0, c: 0}

sortKeys({b: {b: 0, a: 0}, a: 0}, {deep: true});
//=> {a: 0, b: {a: 0, b: 0}}

sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0}, {
    compare: (a, b) => -a.localeCompare(b)
});
//=> {c: 0, b: 0, a: 0}

A process crashed in windows .. Crash dump location

a core dump is usually only made when the Windows kernel crashes (aka blue screen). A servicecrash will most of the times only leave some logging behind (in the event viewer probably).

If it is the bluescreen crash dump you are looking for, look in C:\Windows\Minidump or C:\windows\MEMORY.DMP

Apache shows PHP code instead of executing it

Run Xampp (apache) as administrator. In google chrome type:

localhost/<insert folder name here>/<insert file name>

i.e. if folder you created is "LearnPhp", file is "chapter1.php" then type

localhost/LearnPhp/chapter1.php

I created this folder in the xampp folder in the htdocs folder which gets created when you download xampp.

MVVM Passing EventArgs As Command Parameter

I try to keep my dependencies to a minimum, so I implemented this myself instead of going with EventToCommand of MVVMLight. Works for me so far, but feedback is welcome.

Xaml:

<i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    <beh:EventToCommandBehavior Command="{Binding DropCommand}" Event="Drop" PassArguments="True" />
</i:Interaction.Behaviors>

ViewModel:

public ActionCommand<DragEventArgs> DropCommand { get; private set; }

this.DropCommand = new ActionCommand<DragEventArgs>(OnDrop);

private void OnDrop(DragEventArgs e)
{
    // ...
}

EventToCommandBehavior:

/// <summary>
/// Behavior that will connect an UI event to a viewmodel Command,
/// allowing the event arguments to be passed as the CommandParameter.
/// </summary>
public class EventToCommandBehavior : Behavior<FrameworkElement>
{
    private Delegate _handler;
    private EventInfo _oldEvent;

    // Event
    public string Event { get { return (string)GetValue(EventProperty); } set { SetValue(EventProperty, value); } }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty EventProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Event", typeof(string), typeof(EventToCommandBehavior), new PropertyMetadata(null, OnEventChanged));

    // Command
    public ICommand Command { get { return (ICommand)GetValue(CommandProperty); } set { SetValue(CommandProperty, value); } }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty CommandProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Command", typeof(ICommand), typeof(EventToCommandBehavior), new PropertyMetadata(null));

    // PassArguments (default: false)
    public bool PassArguments { get { return (bool)GetValue(PassArgumentsProperty); } set { SetValue(PassArgumentsProperty, value); } }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty PassArgumentsProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("PassArguments", typeof(bool), typeof(EventToCommandBehavior), new PropertyMetadata(false));


    private static void OnEventChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        var beh = (EventToCommandBehavior)d;

        if (beh.AssociatedObject != null) // is not yet attached at initial load
            beh.AttachHandler((string)e.NewValue);
    }

    protected override void OnAttached()
    {
        AttachHandler(this.Event); // initial set
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Attaches the handler to the event
    /// </summary>
    private void AttachHandler(string eventName)
    {
        // detach old event
        if (_oldEvent != null)
            _oldEvent.RemoveEventHandler(this.AssociatedObject, _handler);

        // attach new event
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(eventName))
        {
            EventInfo ei = this.AssociatedObject.GetType().GetEvent(eventName);
            if (ei != null)
            {
                MethodInfo mi = this.GetType().GetMethod("ExecuteCommand", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
                _handler = Delegate.CreateDelegate(ei.EventHandlerType, this, mi);
                ei.AddEventHandler(this.AssociatedObject, _handler);
                _oldEvent = ei; // store to detach in case the Event property changes
            }
            else
                throw new ArgumentException(string.Format("The event '{0}' was not found on type '{1}'", eventName, this.AssociatedObject.GetType().Name));
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Executes the Command
    /// </summary>
    private void ExecuteCommand(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        object parameter = this.PassArguments ? e : null;
        if (this.Command != null)
        {
            if (this.Command.CanExecute(parameter))
                this.Command.Execute(parameter);
        }
    }
}

ActionCommand:

public class ActionCommand<T> : ICommand
{
    public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
    private Action<T> _action;

    public ActionCommand(Action<T> action)
    {
        _action = action;
    }

    public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { return true; }

    public void Execute(object parameter)
    {
        if (_action != null)
        {
            var castParameter = (T)Convert.ChangeType(parameter, typeof(T));
            _action(castParameter);
        }
    }
}

How to set array length in c# dynamically

InputProperty[] ip = new InputProperty[nvPairs.Length]; 

Or, you can use a list like so:

List<InputProperty> list = new List<InputProperty>();
InputProperty ip = new (..);
list.Add(ip);
update.items = list.ToArray();

Another thing I'd like to point out, in C# you can delcare your int variable use in a for loop right inside the loop:

for(int i = 0; i<nvPairs.Length;i++
{
.
.
}

And just because I'm in the mood, here's a cleaner way to do this method IMO:

private Update BuildMetaData(MetaData[] nvPairs)
{
        Update update = new Update();
        var ip = new List<InputProperty>();

        foreach(var nvPair in nvPairs)
        {
            if (nvPair == null) break;
            var inputProp = new InputProperty
            {
               Name = "udf:" + nvPair.Name,
               Val = nvPair.Value
            };
            ip.Add(inputProp);
        }
        update.Items = ip.ToArray();
        return update;
}

Div Background Image Z-Index Issue

To solve the issue, you are using the z-index on the footer and header, but you forgot about the position, if a z-index is to be used, the element must have a position:

Add to your footer and header this CSS:

position: relative; 

EDITED:

Also noticed that the background image on the #backstretch has a negative z-index, don't use that, some browsers get really weird...

Remove From the #backstretch:

z-index: -999999;

Read a little bit about Z-Index here!

Reading a huge .csv file

You are reading all rows into a list, then processing that list. Don't do that.

Process your rows as you produce them. If you need to filter the data first, use a generator function:

import csv

def getstuff(filename, criterion):
    with open(filename, "rb") as csvfile:
        datareader = csv.reader(csvfile)
        yield next(datareader)  # yield the header row
        count = 0
        for row in datareader:
            if row[3] == criterion:
                yield row
                count += 1
            elif count:
                # done when having read a consecutive series of rows 
                return

I also simplified your filter test; the logic is the same but more concise.

Because you are only matching a single sequence of rows matching the criterion, you could also use:

import csv
from itertools import dropwhile, takewhile

def getstuff(filename, criterion):
    with open(filename, "rb") as csvfile:
        datareader = csv.reader(csvfile)
        yield next(datareader)  # yield the header row
        # first row, plus any subsequent rows that match, then stop
        # reading altogether
        # Python 2: use `for row in takewhile(...): yield row` instead
        # instead of `yield from takewhile(...)`.
        yield from takewhile(
            lambda r: r[3] == criterion,
            dropwhile(lambda r: r[3] != criterion, datareader))
        return

You can now loop over getstuff() directly. Do the same in getdata():

def getdata(filename, criteria):
    for criterion in criteria:
        for row in getstuff(filename, criterion):
            yield row

Now loop directly over getdata() in your code:

for row in getdata(somefilename, sequence_of_criteria):
    # process row

You now only hold one row in memory, instead of your thousands of lines per criterion.

yield makes a function a generator function, which means it won't do any work until you start looping over it.

Adding rows dynamically with jQuery

As an addition to answers above: you probably might need to change ids in names/ids of input elements (pls note, you should not have digits in fields name):

<input name="someStuff.entry[2].fieldOne" id="someStuff_fdf_fieldOne_2" ..>

I have done this having some global variable by default set to 0:

var globalNewIndex = 0;

and in the add function after you've cloned and resetted the values in the new row:

                var newIndex = globalNewIndex+1;
                var changeIds = function(i, val) {
                    return val.replace(globalNewIndex,newIndex);
                }
                $('#mytable tbody>tr:last input').attr('name', changeIds ).attr('id', changeIds );
                globalNewIndex++;

Unit testing click event in Angular

I'm using Angular 6. I followed Mav55's answer and it worked. However I wanted to make sure if fixture.detectChanges(); was really necessary so I removed it and it still worked. Then I removed tick(); to see if it worked and it did. Finally I removed the test from the fakeAsync() wrap, and surprise, it worked.

So I ended up with this:

it('should call onClick method', () => {
  const onClickMock = spyOn(component, 'onClick');
  fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('button')).triggerEventHandler('click', null);
  expect(onClickMock).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

And it worked just fine.

WPF TemplateBinding vs RelativeSource TemplatedParent

TemplateBinding is a shorthand for Binding with TemplatedParent but it does not expose all the capabilities of the Binding class, for example you can't control Binding.Mode from TemplateBinding.

How to check if a variable is not null?

  • code inside your if(myVar) { code } will be NOT executed only when myVar is equal to: false, 0, "", null, undefined, NaN or you never defined variable myVar (then additionally code stop execution and throw exception).
  • code inside your if(myVar !== null) {code} will be NOT executed only when myVar is equal to null or you never defined it (throws exception).

Here you have all (src)

How do I rename all folders and files to lowercase on Linux?

Smaller still I quite like:

rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *

On case insensitive filesystems such as OS X's HFS+, you will want to add the -f flag:

rename -f 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *

How do I select a sibling element using jQuery?

   $(this).siblings(".bidbutton").addClass("disabled").attr("disabled", "");

Adding a default value in dropdownlist after binding with database

You can add it programmatically or in the markup, but if you add it programmatically, rather than Add the item, you should Insert it as position zero so that it is the first item:

ddlColor.DataSource = from p in db.ProductTypes
                      where p.ProductID == pID
                      orderby p.Color
                      select new { p.Color };
ddlColor.DataTextField = "Color";
ddlColor.DataBind();
ddlColor.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select Color", "");

The default item is expected to be the first item in the list. If you just Add it, it will be on the bottom and will not be selected by default.

Output a NULL cell value in Excel

As you've indicated, you can't output NULL in an excel formula. I think this has to do with the fact that the formula itself causes the cell to not be able to be NULL. "" is the next best thing, but sometimes it's useful to use 0.

--EDIT--

Based on your comment, you might want to check out this link. http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/mind-the-gap-charting-empty-cells/

It goes in depth on the graphing issues and what the various values represent, and how to manipulate their output on a chart.

I'm not familiar with VSTO I'm afraid. So I won't be much help there. But if you are really placing formulas in the cell, then there really is no way. ISBLANK() only tests to see if a cell is blank or not, it doesn't have a way to make it blank. It's possible to write code in VBA (and VSTO I imagine) that would run on a worksheet_change event and update the various values instead of using formulas. But that would be cumbersome and performance would take a hit.

How to install XCODE in windows 7 platform?

X-code is primarily made for OS-X or iPhone development on Mac systems. Versions for Windows are not available. However this might help!

There is no way to get Xcode on Windows; however you can use a different SDK like Corona instead although it will not use Objective-C (I believe it uses Lua). I have however heard that it is horrible to use.

I'm trying to use python in powershell

As MaxPRafferty mentioned:

Just a note to anyone landing here from google, the answers setting path are all correct, but this problem probably stems from not giving the python installer administrative rights it needs to set the path itself. An alternative may be to simply right click the installer and select run as administrator, then repair the installation. If that still doesn't work, choose the [Environment] answer below that corresponds to your python version and installation directory. – MaxPRafferty Nov 18 '15 at 20:06

Maybe it is wise to let Python installer to add the path itself. The trap here is that by default Python installer does NOT add path for you. You should look carefully (by scrolling down to see what has been installed) during the installation process instead of directly nexting to the end.

What he missed saying is that you cannot run as administrator once you have installed it. Uninstall and reinstall may do, but the simplest is to right click and Troubleshoot compatibility, being careful this time to check the 'add path' in the "what to install" dialog before hiting next. Then restart powershell. Voilà. It works for me.

How do you close/hide the Android soft keyboard using Java?

I got one more solution to hide keyboard:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);

Here pass HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY at the position of showFlag and 0 at the position of hiddenFlag. It will forcefully close soft Keyboard.

Cannot resolve symbol 'AppCompatActivity'

You Have to just Do some change in your Gradle App File by adding some dependency

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:XX:YY:ZZ"

while XX:YY:ZZ is the version code that you are using in your gradle file, otherwise if you set this version lower or higher than that you are using , then your app will face some problems like it will crash sometimes

Hexadecimal to Integer in Java

you can use this method : https://stackoverflow.com/a/31804061/3343174 it's converting perfectly any hexadecimal number (presented as a string) to a decimal number

How to get the parent dir location

Use relative path with the pathlib module in Python 3.4+:

from pathlib import Path

Path(__file__).parent

You can use multiple calls to parent to go further in the path:

Path(__file__).parent.parent

As an alternative to specifying parent twice, you can use:

Path(__file__).parents[1]

Send email with PHPMailer - embed image in body

According to PHPMailer Manual, full answer would be :

$mail->AddEmbeddedImage(filename, cid, name);
//Example
$mail->AddEmbeddedImage('my-photo.jpg', 'my-photo', 'my-photo.jpg '); 

Use Case :

$mail->AddEmbeddedImage("rocks.png", "my-attach", "rocks.png");
$mail->Body = 'Embedded Image: <img alt="PHPMailer" src="cid:my-attach"> Here is an image!';

If you want to display an image with a remote URL :

$mail->addStringAttachment(file_get_contents("url"), "filename");

Run certain code every n seconds

My humble take on the subject, a generalization of Alex Martelli's answer, with start() and stop() control:

from threading import Timer

class RepeatedTimer(object):
    def __init__(self, interval, function, *args, **kwargs):
        self._timer     = None
        self.interval   = interval
        self.function   = function
        self.args       = args
        self.kwargs     = kwargs
        self.is_running = False
        self.start()

    def _run(self):
        self.is_running = False
        self.start()
        self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

    def start(self):
        if not self.is_running:
            self._timer = Timer(self.interval, self._run)
            self._timer.start()
            self.is_running = True

    def stop(self):
        self._timer.cancel()
        self.is_running = False

Usage:

from time import sleep

def hello(name):
    print "Hello %s!" % name

print "starting..."
rt = RepeatedTimer(1, hello, "World") # it auto-starts, no need of rt.start()
try:
    sleep(5) # your long-running job goes here...
finally:
    rt.stop() # better in a try/finally block to make sure the program ends!

Features:

  • Standard library only, no external dependencies
  • start() and stop() are safe to call multiple times even if the timer has already started/stopped
  • function to be called can have positional and named arguments
  • You can change interval anytime, it will be effective after next run. Same for args, kwargs and even function!

How to debug a GLSL shader?

If you want to visualize the variations of a value across the screen, you can use a heatmap function similar to this (I wrote it in hlsl, but it is easy to adapt to glsl):

float4 HeatMapColor(float value, float minValue, float maxValue)
{
    #define HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT 6
    float4 colors[HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT] =
    {
        float4(0.32, 0.00, 0.32, 1.00),
        float4(0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 1.00),
        float4(0.00, 1.00, 0.00, 1.00),
        float4(1.00, 1.00, 0.00, 1.00),
        float4(1.00, 0.60, 0.00, 1.00),
        float4(1.00, 0.00, 0.00, 1.00),
    };
    float ratio=(HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT-1.0)*saturate((value-minValue)/(maxValue-minValue));
    float indexMin=floor(ratio);
    float indexMax=min(indexMin+1,HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT-1);
    return lerp(colors[indexMin], colors[indexMax], ratio-indexMin);
}

Then in your pixel shader you just output something like:

return HeatMapColor(myValue, 0.00, 50.00);

And can get an idea of how it varies across your pixels:

enter image description here

Of course you can use any set of colors you like.

Sort a list of tuples by 2nd item (integer value)

As a python neophyte, I just wanted to mention that if the data did actually look like this:

data = [('abc', 121),('abc', 231),('abc', 148), ('abc',221)]

then sorted() would automatically sort by the second element in the tuple, as the first elements are all identical.

Find character position and update file name

I know this thread is a bit old but, I was looking for something similar and could not find it. Here's what I came up with. I create a string object using the .Net String class to expose all the methods normally found if using C#

[System.String]$myString
 $myString = "237801_201011221155.xml"
 $startPos = $myString.LastIndexOf("_") + 1 # Do not include the "_" character
 $subString = $myString.Substring($startPos,$myString.Length - $startPos)

Result: 201011221155.xml

The conversion of the varchar value overflowed an int column

Declare @phoneNumber int

select @phoneNumber=Isnull('08041159620',0);

Give error :

The conversion of the varchar value '8041159620' overflowed an int column.: select cast('8041159620' as int)

AS

Integer is defined as :

Integer (whole number) data from -2^31 (-2,147,483,648) through 2^31 - 1 (2,147,483,647). Storage size is 4 bytes. The SQL-92 synonym for int is integer.

Solution

Declare @phoneNumber bigint

ElasticSearch - Return Unique Values

If you want to get all unique values without any approximation or setting a magic number (size: 500), then use COMPOSITE AGGREGATION (ES 6.5+).

From official documentation:

"If you want to retrieve all terms or all combinations of terms in a nested terms aggregation you should use the COMPOSITE AGGREGATION which allows to paginate over all possible terms rather than setting a size greater than the cardinality of the field in the terms aggregation. The terms aggregation is meant to return the top terms and does not allow pagination."

What key shortcuts are to comment and uncomment code?

Use the keys CtrlK,C to comment out the line and CtrlK,U to uncomment the line.

How do I fix "for loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode" GCC error?

I had the same problem and it works you just have to declare the i outside of the loop:

int i;

for(i = low; i <= high; ++i)

{
        res = runalg(i);
        if (res > highestres)
        {
                highestres = res;
        }

}

Updating a dataframe column in spark

While you cannot modify a column as such, you may operate on a column and return a new DataFrame reflecting that change. For that you'd first create a UserDefinedFunction implementing the operation to apply and then selectively apply that function to the targeted column only. In Python:

from pyspark.sql.functions import UserDefinedFunction
from pyspark.sql.types import StringType

name = 'target_column'
udf = UserDefinedFunction(lambda x: 'new_value', StringType())
new_df = old_df.select(*[udf(column).alias(name) if column == name else column for column in old_df.columns])

new_df now has the same schema as old_df (assuming that old_df.target_column was of type StringType as well) but all values in column target_column will be new_value.

Core dump file is not generated

Note: If you have written any crash handler yourself, then the core might not get generated. So search for code with something on the line:

signal(SIGSEGV, <handler> );

so the SIGSEGV will be handled by handler and you will not get the core dump.

Angular 2: How to write a for loop, not a foreach loop

   queNumMax= 26;
   result = 0;

Range min and max number

TempData keep() vs peek()

Keep() method marks the specified key in the dictionary for retention

You can use Keep() when prevent/hold the value depends on additional logic.

when you read TempData one’s and want to hold for another request then use keep method, so TempData can available for next request as above example.

RegisterStartupScript from code behind not working when Update Panel is used

How can I deserialize JSON to a simple Dictionary<string,string> in ASP.NET?

I had the same problem, so I wrote this my self. This solution is differentiated from other answers because it can deserialize in to multiple levels.

Just send JSON string in to deserializeToDictionary function it will return non strongly-typed Dictionary<string, object> object.

Old code

private Dictionary<string, object> deserializeToDictionary(string jo)
{
    var values = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(jo);
    var values2 = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> d in values)
    {
        // if (d.Value.GetType().FullName.Contains("Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject"))
        if (d.Value is JObject)
        {
            values2.Add(d.Key, deserializeToDictionary(d.Value.ToString()));
        }
        else
        {
            values2.Add(d.Key, d.Value);
        }
    }
    return values2;
}

Ex: This will return Dictionary<string, object> object of a Facebook JSON response.

Test

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string responsestring = "{\"id\":\"721055828\",\"name\":\"Dasun Sameera Weerasinghe\",\"first_name\":\"Dasun\",\"middle_name\":\"Sameera\",\"last_name\":\"Weerasinghe\",\"username\":\"dasun\",\"gender\":\"male\",\"locale\":\"en_US\",  hometown: {id: \"108388329191258\", name: \"Moratuwa, Sri Lanka\",}}";
    Dictionary<string, object> values = deserializeToDictionary(responsestring);
}

Note: hometown further deserilize into a Dictionary<string, object> object.

Update

My old answer works great if there is no array on JSON string. This one further deserialize in to a List<object> if an element is an array.

Just send a JSON string in to deserializeToDictionaryOrList function it will return non strongly-typed Dictionary<string, object> object or List<object>.

private static object deserializeToDictionaryOrList(string jo,bool isArray=false)
{
    if (!isArray)
    {
        isArray = jo.Substring(0, 1) == "[";
    }
    if (!isArray)
    {
        var values = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(jo);
        var values2 = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> d in values)
        {
            if (d.Value is JObject)
            {
                values2.Add(d.Key, deserializeToDictionary(d.Value.ToString()));
            }
            else if (d.Value is JArray)
            {
                values2.Add(d.Key, deserializeToDictionary(d.Value.ToString(), true));
            }
            else
            {
                values2.Add(d.Key, d.Value);
            }
        }
        return values2;
    }else
    {
        var values = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<object>>(jo);
        var values2 = new List<object>();
        foreach (var d in values)
        {
            if (d is JObject)
            {
                values2.Add(deserializeToDictionary(d.ToString()));
            }
            else if (d is JArray)
            {
                values2.Add(deserializeToDictionary(d.ToString(), true));
            }
            else
            {
                values2.Add(d);
            }
        }
        return values2;
    }
}

How can I define an array of objects?

You can also try

    interface IData{
        id: number;
        name:string;
    }

    let userTestStatus:Record<string,IData> = {
        "0": { "id": 0, "name": "Available" },
        "1": { "id": 1, "name": "Ready" },
        "2": { "id": 2, "name": "Started" }
    };

To check how record works: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/utility-types.html#recordkt

Here in our case Record is used to declare an object whose key will be a string and whose value will be of type IData so now it will provide us intellisense when we will try to access its property and will throw type error in case we will try something like userTestStatus[0].nameee

How to find the operating system version using JavaScript?

I can't comment on @Ian Ippolito answer (because I would have if I had the rep) but according to the document his comment linked, I'm fairly certain you can find the Chrome version for IOS. https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/user-agent?hl=ja lists the UA as: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) CriOS/56.0.2924.75 Mobile/14E5239e Safari/602.1

So this should work:

if ((verOffset = nAgt.indexOf('CriOS')) != -1) {
                //Chrome on iPad spoofing Safari...correct it.
                browser = 'Chrome';
                version = nAgt.substring(verOffset + 6);//should get the criOS ver.
            }

Haven't been able to test (otherwise I would have improved his answer) it to make sure since my iPad is at home and I'm at work, but I thought I'd put it out there.

Random number in range [min - max] using PHP

A quicker faster version would use mt_rand:

$min=1;
$max=20;
echo mt_rand($min,$max);

Source: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php.

NOTE: Your server needs to have the Math PHP module enabled for this to work. If it doesn't, bug your host to enable it, or you have to use the normal (and slower) rand().

Using find to locate files that match one of multiple patterns

This will find all .c or .cpp files on linux

$ find . -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp"

You don't need the escaped parenthesis unless you are doing some additional mods. Here from the man page they are saying if the pattern matches, print it. Perhaps they are trying to control printing. In this case the -print acts as a conditional and becomes an "AND'd" conditional. It will prevent any .c files from being printed.

$ find .  -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp"  -print

But if you do like the original answer you can control the printing. This will find all .c files as well.

$ find . \( -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp" \) -print

One last example for all c/c++ source files

$ find . \( -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp"  -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.hpp" \) -print
