Programs & Examples On #Mailto

Mailto is the URI scheme for email addresses. It is used in web pages as a link that opens a new email message to the specified to-address in the user's default email client.

Mailto on submit button

In HTML you can specify a mailto: address in the <form> element's [action] attribute.

<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method="GET">
    <input name="subject" type="text" />
    <textarea name="body"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

What this will do is allow the user's email client to create an email prepopulated with the fields in the <form>.

What this will not do is send an email.

Automatically open default email client and pre-populate content

JQuery:

$(function () {
      $('.SendEmail').click(function (event) {
        var email = '[email protected]';
        var subject = 'Test';
        var emailBody = 'Hi Sample,';
        var attach = 'path';
        document.location = "mailto:"+email+"?subject="+subject+"&body="+emailBody+
            "?attach="+attach;
      });
    });

HTML:

 <button class="SendEmail">Send Email</button>

mailto link multiple body lines

This is what I do, just add \n and use encodeURIComponent

Example

var emailBody = "1st line.\n 2nd line \n 3rd line";

emailBody = encodeURIComponent(emailBody);

href = "mailto:[email protected]?body=" + emailBody;

Check encodeURIComponent docs

Can I set subject/content of email using mailto:?

The mailto: URL scheme is defined in RFC 2368. Also, the convention for encoding information into URLs and URIs is defined in RFC 1738 and then RFC 3986. These prescribe how to include the body and subject headers into a URL (URI):

mailto:[email protected]?subject=current-issue&body=send%20current-issue

Specifically, you must percent-encode the email address, subject, and body and put them into the format above. Percent-encoded text is legal for use in HTML, however this URL must be entity encoded for use in an href attribute, according to the HTML4 standard:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=current-issue&amp;body=send%20current-issue">Send email</a>

And most generally, here is a simple PHP script that encodes per the above.

<?php
$encodedTo = rawurlencode($message->to);
$encodedSubject = rawurlencode($message->subject);
$encodedBody = rawurlencode($message->body);
$uri = "mailto:$encodedTo?subject=$encodedSubject&body=$encodedBody";
$encodedUri = htmlspecialchars($uri);
echo "<a href=\"$encodedUri\">Send email</a>";
?>

Mailto: Body formatting

Forget it; this might work with Outlook or maybe even GMail but you won't be able to get this working properly supporting most other E-mail clients out there (and there's a shitton of 'em).

You're better of using a simple PHP script (check out PHPMailer) or use a hosted solution (Google "email form hosted", "free email form hosting" or something similar)

By the way, you are looking for the term "Percent-encoding" (also called url-encoding and Javascript uses encodeUri/encodeUriComponent (make sure you understand the differences!)). You will need to encode a whole lot more than just newlines.

Is it possible to add an HTML link in the body of a MAILTO link

Here's what I put together. It works on the select mobile device I needed it for, but I'm not sure how universal the solution is

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Me&body=%3Chtml%20xmlns%3D%22http:%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F1999%2Fxhtml%22%3E%3C%2Fhead%3E%3Cbody%3EPlease%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http:%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%22%3Eclick%3C%2Fa%3E%20me%3C%2Fbody%3E%3C%2Fhtml%3E">

mailto link with HTML body

Thunderbird supports html-body: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Me&html-body=<b>ME</b>

Insert a line break in mailto body

As per RFC2368 which defines mailto:, further reinforced by an example in RFC1738, it is explicitly stated that the only valid way to generate a line break is with %0D%0A.

This also applies to all url schemes such as gopher, smtp, sdp, imap, ldap, etc..

mailto using javascript

No need for jQuery. And it isn't necessary to open a new window. Protocols which doesn't return HTTP data to the browser (mailto:, irc://, magnet:, ftp:// (<- it depends how it is implemented, normally the browser has an FTP client built in)) can be queried in the same window without losing the current content. In your case:

function redirect()
{
    window.location.href = "mailto:[email protected]";
}
<body onload="javascript: redirect();">

Or just directly

<body onload="javascript: window.location.href='mailto:[email protected]';">

Why doesn't height: 100% work to expand divs to the screen height?

In the page source I see the following:

<div class="holder"> 
    <div id="s7" style="position: relative; width: 1366px; height: 474px; overflow: hidden;">

If you put the height value in the tag, it will use this instead of the height defined in the css file.

Changing PowerShell's default output encoding to UTF-8

Note: The following applies to Windows PowerShell.
See the next section for the cross-platform PowerShell Core (v6+) edition.

  • On PSv5.1 or higher, where > and >> are effectively aliases of Out-File, you can set the default encoding for > / >> / Out-File via the $PSDefaultParameterValues preference variable:

    • $PSDefaultParameterValues['Out-File:Encoding'] = 'utf8'
  • On PSv5.0 or below, you cannot change the encoding for > / >>, but, on PSv3 or higher, the above technique does work for explicit calls to Out-File.
    (The $PSDefaultParameterValues preference variable was introduced in PSv3.0).

  • On PSv3.0 or higher, if you want to set the default encoding for all cmdlets that support
    an -Encoding parameter
    (which in PSv5.1+ includes > and >>), use:

    • $PSDefaultParameterValues['*:Encoding'] = 'utf8'

If you place this command in your $PROFILE, cmdlets such as Out-File and Set-Content will use UTF-8 encoding by default, but note that this makes it a session-global setting that will affect all commands / scripts that do not explicitly specify an encoding via their -Encoding parameter.

Similarly, be sure to include such commands in your scripts or modules that you want to behave the same way, so that they indeed behave the same even when run by another user or a different machine; however, to avoid a session-global change, use the following form to create a local copy of $PSDefaultParameterValues:

  • $PSDefaultParameterValues = @{ '*:Encoding' = 'utf8' }

Caveat: PowerShell, as of v5.1, invariably creates UTF-8 files _with a (pseudo) BOM_, which is customary only in the Windows world - Unix-based utilities do not recognize this BOM (see bottom); see this post for workarounds that create BOM-less UTF-8 files.

For a summary of the wildly inconsistent default character encoding behavior across many of the Windows PowerShell standard cmdlets, see the bottom section.


The automatic $OutputEncoding variable is unrelated, and only applies to how PowerShell communicates with external programs (what encoding PowerShell uses when sending strings to them) - it has nothing to do with the encoding that the output redirection operators and PowerShell cmdlets use to save to files.


Optional reading: The cross-platform perspective: PowerShell Core:

PowerShell is now cross-platform, via its PowerShell Core edition, whose encoding - sensibly - defaults to BOM-less UTF-8, in line with Unix-like platforms.

  • This means that source-code files without a BOM are assumed to be UTF-8, and using > / Out-File / Set-Content defaults to BOM-less UTF-8; explicit use of the utf8 -Encoding argument too creates BOM-less UTF-8, but you can opt to create files with the pseudo-BOM with the utf8bom value.

  • If you create PowerShell scripts with an editor on a Unix-like platform and nowadays even on Windows with cross-platform editors such as Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text, the resulting *.ps1 file will typically not have a UTF-8 pseudo-BOM:

    • This works fine on PowerShell Core.
    • It may break on Windows PowerShell, if the file contains non-ASCII characters; if you do need to use non-ASCII characters in your scripts, save them as UTF-8 with BOM.
      Without the BOM, Windows PowerShell (mis)interprets your script as being encoded in the legacy "ANSI" codepage (determined by the system locale for pre-Unicode applications; e.g., Windows-1252 on US-English systems).
  • Conversely, files that do have the UTF-8 pseudo-BOM can be problematic on Unix-like platforms, as they cause Unix utilities such as cat, sed, and awk - and even some editors such as gedit - to pass the pseudo-BOM through, i.e., to treat it as data.

    • This may not always be a problem, but definitely can be, such as when you try to read a file into a string in bash with, say, text=$(cat file) or text=$(<file) - the resulting variable will contain the pseudo-BOM as the first 3 bytes.

Inconsistent default encoding behavior in Windows PowerShell:

Regrettably, the default character encoding used in Windows PowerShell is wildly inconsistent; the cross-platform PowerShell Core edition, as discussed in the previous section, has commendably put and end to this.

Note:

  • The following doesn't aspire to cover all standard cmdlets.

  • Googling cmdlet names to find their help topics now shows you the PowerShell Core version of the topics by default; use the version drop-down list above the list of topics on the left to switch to a Windows PowerShell version.

  • As of this writing, the documentation frequently incorrectly claims that ASCII is the default encoding in Windows PowerShell - see this GitHub docs issue.


Cmdlets that write:

Out-File and > / >> create "Unicode" - UTF-16LE - files by default - in which every ASCII-range character (too) is represented by 2 bytes - which notably differs from Set-Content / Add-Content (see next point); New-ModuleManifest and Export-CliXml also create UTF-16LE files.

Set-Content (and Add-Content if the file doesn't yet exist / is empty) uses ANSI encoding (the encoding specified by the active system locale's ANSI legacy code page, which PowerShell calls Default).

Export-Csv indeed creates ASCII files, as documented, but see the notes re -Append below.

Export-PSSession creates UTF-8 files with BOM by default.

New-Item -Type File -Value currently creates BOM-less(!) UTF-8.

The Send-MailMessage help topic also claims that ASCII encoding is the default - I have not personally verified that claim.

Start-Transcript invariably creates UTF-8 files with BOM, but see the notes re -Append below.

Re commands that append to an existing file:

>> / Out-File -Append make no attempt to match the encoding of a file's existing content. That is, they blindly apply their default encoding, unless instructed otherwise with -Encoding, which is not an option with >> (except indirectly in PSv5.1+, via $PSDefaultParameterValues, as shown above). In short: you must know the encoding of an existing file's content and append using that same encoding.

Add-Content is the laudable exception: in the absence of an explicit -Encoding argument, it detects the existing encoding and automatically applies it to the new content.Thanks, js2010. Note that in Windows PowerShell this means that it is ANSI encoding that is applied if the existing content has no BOM, whereas it is UTF-8 in PowerShell Core.

This inconsistency between Out-File -Append / >> and Add-Content, which also affects PowerShell Core, is discussed in this GitHub issue.

Export-Csv -Append partially matches the existing encoding: it blindly appends UTF-8 if the existing file's encoding is any of ASCII/UTF-8/ANSI, but correctly matches UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE.
To put it differently: in the absence of a BOM, Export-Csv -Append assumes UTF-8 is, whereas Add-Content assumes ANSI.

Start-Transcript -Append partially matches the existing encoding: It correctly matches encodings with BOM, but defaults to potentially lossy ASCII encoding in the absence of one.


Cmdlets that read (that is, the encoding used in the absence of a BOM):

Get-Content and Import-PowerShellDataFile default to ANSI (Default), which is consistent with Set-Content.
ANSI is also what the PowerShell engine itself defaults to when it reads source code from files.

By contrast, Import-Csv, Import-CliXml and Select-String assume UTF-8 in the absence of a BOM.

Exiting from python Command Line

I recommend you exit the Python interpreter with Ctrl-D. This is the old ASCII code for end-of-file or end-of-transmission.

Printing a char with printf

This is supposed to print the ASCII value of the character, as %d is the escape sequence for an integer. So the value given as argument of printf is taken as integer when printed.

char ch = 'a';
printf("%d", ch);

Same holds for printf("%d", '\0');, where the NULL character is interpreted as the 0 integer.

Finally, sizeof('\n') is 4 because in C, this notation for characters stands for the corresponding ASCII integer. So '\n' is the same as 10 as an integer.

It all depends on the interpretation you give to the bytes.

How to go to a URL using jQuery?

//As an HTTP redirect (back button will not work )
window.location.replace("http://www.google.com");

//like if you click on a link (it will be saved in the session history, 
//so the back button will work as expected)
window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";

Using port number in Windows host file

The simplest way is using Ergo as your reverse proxy: https://github.com/cristianoliveira/ergo

You set your services and its IP:PORT and ergo routes it for you :).

You can achieve the same using nginx or apache but you will need to configure them.

React / JSX Dynamic Component Name

<MyComponent /> compiles to React.createElement(MyComponent, {}), which expects a string (HTML tag) or a function (ReactClass) as first parameter.

You could just store your component class in a variable with a name that starts with an uppercase letter. See HTML tags vs React Components.

var MyComponent = Components[type + "Component"];
return <MyComponent />;

compiles to

var MyComponent = Components[type + "Component"];
return React.createElement(MyComponent, {});

How to add property to object in PHP >= 5.3 strict mode without generating error

you should use magic methods __Set and __get. Simple example:

class Foo
{
    //This array stores your properties
private $content = array();

public function __set($key, $value)
{
            //Perform data validation here before inserting data
    $this->content[$key] = $value;
    return $this;
}

public function __get($value)
{       //You might want to check that the data exists here
    return $this->$content[$value];
}

}

Of course, don't use this example as this : no security at all :)

EDIT : seen your comments, here could be an alternative based on reflection and a decorator :

 class Foo
 {
private $content = array();
private $stdInstance;

public function __construct($stdInstance)
{
    $this->stdInstance = $stdInstance;
}

public function __set($key, $value)
{
    //Reflection for the stdClass object
    $ref = new ReflectionClass($this->stdInstance);
    //Fetch the props of the object

    $props = $ref->getProperties();

    if (in_array($key, $props)) {
        $this->stdInstance->$key = $value;
    } else {
        $this->content[$key] = $value;
    }
    return $this;
}

public function __get($value)
{
    //Search first your array as it is faster than using reflection
    if (array_key_exists($value, $this->content))
    {
        return $this->content[$value];
    } else {
        $ref = new ReflectionClass($this->stdInstance);

        //Fetch the props of the object
        $props = $ref->getProperties();

        if (in_array($value, $props)) {

        return $this->stdInstance->$value;
    } else {
        throw new \Exception('No prop in here...');
    }
}
 }
}

How to show one layout on top of the other programmatically in my case?

FrameLayout is not the better way to do this:

Use RelativeLayout instead. You can position the elements anywhere you like. The element that comes after, has the higher z-index than the previous one (i.e. it comes over the previous one).

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_information"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is a text."
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:background="#A000"

Where are static variables stored in C and C++?

they're both going to be stored independently, however if you want to make it clear to other developers you might want to wrap them up in namespaces.

Set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS options using CMake

You need to set the flags after the project command in your CMakeLists.txt.

Also, if you're calling include(${QT_USE_FILE}) or add_definitions(${QT_DEFINITIONS}), you should include these set commands after the Qt ones since these would append further flags. If that is the case, you maybe just want to append your flags to the Qt ones, so change to e.g.

set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -O0 -ggdb")

SQL query return data from multiple tables

Part 3 - Tricks and Efficient Code

MySQL in() efficiency

I thought I would add some extra bits, for tips and tricks that have come up.

One question I see come up a fair bit, is How do I get non-matching rows from two tables and I see the answer most commonly accepted as something like the following (based on our cars and brands table - which has Holden listed as a brand, but does not appear in the cars table):

select
    a.ID,
    a.brand
from
    brands a
where
    a.ID not in(select brand from cars)

And yes it will work.

+----+--------+
| ID | brand  |
+----+--------+
|  6 | Holden |
+----+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

However it is not efficient in some database. Here is a link to a Stack Overflow question asking about it, and here is an excellent in depth article if you want to get into the nitty gritty.

The short answer is, if the optimiser doesn't handle it efficiently, it may be much better to use a query like the following to get non matched rows:

select
    a.brand
from
    brands a
        left join cars b
            on a.id=b.brand
where
    b.brand is null

+--------+
| brand  |
+--------+
| Holden |
+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Update Table with same table in subquery

Ahhh, another oldie but goodie - the old You can't specify target table 'brands' for update in FROM clause.

MySQL will not allow you to run an update... query with a subselect on the same table. Now, you might be thinking, why not just slap it into the where clause right? But what if you want to update only the row with the max() date amoung a bunch of other rows? You can't exactly do that in a where clause.

update 
    brands 
set 
    brand='Holden' 
where 
    id=
        (select 
            id 
        from 
            brands 
        where 
            id=6);
ERROR 1093 (HY000): You can't specify target table 'brands' 
for update in FROM clause

So, we can't do that eh? Well, not exactly. There is a sneaky workaround that a surprisingly large number of users don't know about - though it does include some hackery that you will need to pay attention to.

You can stick the subquery within another subquery, which puts enough of a gap between the two queries so that it will work. However, note that it might be safest to stick the query within a transaction - this will prevent any other changes being made to the tables while the query is running.

update 
    brands 
set 
    brand='Holden' 
where id=
    (select 
        id 
    from 
        (select 
            id 
        from 
            brands 
        where 
            id=6
        ) 
    as updateTable);

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

boto3 client NoRegionError: You must specify a region error only sometimes

One way or another you must tell boto3 in which region you wish the kms client to be created. This could be done explicitly using the region_name parameter as in:

kms = boto3.client('kms', region_name='us-west-2')

or you can have a default region associated with your profile in your ~/.aws/config file as in:

[default]
region=us-west-2

or you can use an environment variable as in:

export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-west-2

but you do need to tell boto3 which region to use.

How to auto-remove trailing whitespace in Eclipse?

You can map a key in Eclipse to manually remove trailing whitespaces in the whole file, but only on request instead of automatically at save. (Preference/Keys and then map a set of keys to File/Remove Trailing Whitespace) This can be useful if you want to sanitize all new files, but keep legacy code untouched.

Another strategy is to activate visual display of whitespace, so at least you'll know when you're adding some trailing whitespace. As far as I know, there's no way to display only trailing whitespace though, but I'll be glad to be proved wrong.

jQuery Loop through each div

You're right that it involves a loop, but this is, at least, made simple by use of the each() method:

$('.target').each(
    function(){
        // iterate through each of the `.target` elements, and do stuff in here
        // `this` and `$(this)` refer to the current `.target` element
        var images = $(this).find('img'),
            imageWidth = images.width(); // returns the width of the _first_ image
            numImages = images.length;
        $(this).css('width', (imageWidth*numImages));

    });

Merge two objects with ES6

Another aproach is:

let result = { ...item, location : { ...response } }

But Object spread isn't yet standardized.

How to use switch statement inside a React component?

Try this, which is way cleaner too: Get that switch out of the render in a function and just call it passing the params you want. For example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
renderSwitch(param) {_x000D_
  switch(param) {_x000D_
    case 'foo':_x000D_
      return 'bar';_x000D_
    default:_x000D_
      return 'foo';_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
render() {_x000D_
  return (_x000D_
    <div>_x000D_
      <div>_x000D_
          // removed for brevity_x000D_
      </div>_x000D_
      {this.renderSwitch(param)}_x000D_
      <div>_x000D_
          // removed for brevity_x000D_

How to add a new project to Github using VS Code

There is a nice GUI way to do this. Press CTRL+SHIFT+G ( or View-CSM in menu) and here you have a lot of options. With (...) you can do almost anything you want. After things be done, type your commit message into input box and press CTRL+ENTER. Pretty easy. If you have remote repo - you'll see a little spinner mark in bottom left corner near repo name. Press it and sync to remote easily.
But in order to do all of this you must have repo to be initialized in your working directory before (git init from terminal).

Do you recommend using semicolons after every statement in JavaScript?

JavaScript automatically inserts semicolons whilst interpreting your code, so if you put the value of the return statement below the line, it won't be returned:

Your Code:

return
5

JavaScript Interpretation:

return;
5;

Thus, nothing is returned, because of JavaScript's auto semicolon insertion

How to compare values which may both be null in T-SQL

How to make cross domain request

You can make cross domain requests using the XMLHttpRequest object. This is done using something called "Cross Origin Resource Sharing". See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing

Very simply put, when the request is made to the server the server can respond with a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header which will either allow or deny the request. The browser needs to check this header and if it is allowed then it will continue with the request process. If not the browser will cancel the request.

You can find some more information and a working example here: http://www.leggetter.co.uk/2010/03/12/making-cross-domain-javascript-requests-using-xmlhttprequest-or-xdomainrequest.html

JSONP is an alternative solution, but you could argue it's a bit of a hack.

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libpng16.16.dylib with anything php related

I also had this problem, and none of the solutions in this thread worked for me. As it turns out, the problem was that I had this line in ~/.bash_profile:

alias php="/usr/local/php/bin/php"

And, as it turns out, /usr/local/php was just a symlink to /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.24/. So when I invoked php -i I was still invoking php54. I just deleted this line from my bash profile, and then php worked.

For some reason, even though php55 was now running, the php.ini file from php54 was still loaded, and I received this warning every time I invoked php:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.38/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/memcached.so' - dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.38/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/memcached.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

To fix this, I just added the following line to my bash profile:

export PHPRC=/usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini

And then everything worked as normal!

Why is php not running?

Should I use pt or px?

Have a look at this excellent article at CSS-Tricks:

Taken from the article:


pt

The final unit of measurement that it is possible to declare font sizes in is point values (pt). Point values are only for print CSS! A point is a unit of measurement used for real-life ink-on-paper typography. 72pts = one inch. One inch = one real-life inch like-on-a-ruler. Not an inch on a screen, which is totally arbitrary based on resolution.

Just like how pixels are dead-accurate on monitors for font-sizing, point sizes are dead-accurate on paper. For the best cross-browser and cross-platform results while printing pages, set up a print stylesheet and size all fonts with point sizes.

For good measure, the reason we don't use point sizes for screen display (other than it being absurd), is that the cross-browser results are drastically different:

px

If you need fine-grained control, sizing fonts in pixel values (px) is an excellent choice (it's my favorite). On a computer screen, it doesn't get any more accurate than a single pixel. With sizing fonts in pixels, you are literally telling browsers to render the letters exactly that number of pixels in height:

Windows, Mac, aliased, anti-aliased, cross-browsers, doesn't matter, a font set at 14px will be 14px tall. But that isn't to say there won't still be some variation. In a quick test below, the results were slightly more consistent than with keywords but not identical:

Due to the nature of pixel values, they do not cascade. If a parent element has an 18px pixel size and the child is 16px, the child will be 16px. However, font-sizing settings can be using in combination. For example, if the parent was set to 16px and the child was set to larger, the child would indeed come out larger than the parent. A quick test showed me this:

"Larger" bumped the 16px of the parent into 20px, a 25% increase.

Pixels have gotten a bad wrap in the past for accessibility and usability concerns. In IE 6 and below, font-sizes set in pixels cannot be resized by the user. That means that us hip young healthy designers can set type in 12px and read it on the screen just fine, but when folks a little longer in the tooth go to bump up the size so they can read it, they are unable to. This is really IE 6's fault, not ours, but we gots what we gots and we have to deal with it.

Setting font-size in pixels is the most accurate (and I find the most satisfying) method, but do take into consideration the number of visitors still using IE 6 on your site and their accessibility needs. We are right on the bleeding edge of not needing to care about this anymore.


How to test multiple variables against a value?

You can try the method shown below. In this method, you will have the freedom to specify/input the number of variables that you wish to enter.

mydict = {0:"c", 1:"d", 2:"e", 3:"f"}
mylist= []

num_var = int(raw_input("How many variables? ")) #Enter 3 when asked for input.

for i in range(num_var): 
    ''' Enter 0 as first input, 1 as second input and 3 as third input.'''
    globals()['var'+str('i').zfill(3)] = int(raw_input("Enter an integer between 0 and 3 "))
    mylist += mydict[globals()['var'+str('i').zfill(3)]]

print mylist
>>> ['c', 'd', 'f']

Change remote repository credentials (authentication) on Intellij IDEA 14

Go to VCS>Git>Remotes then remove your remote url from the list and add again. Git will ask for a password after next git operation (push, pull, etc). NOTE: Don't forget to specify username in url or you will get auth error.

Finding all the subsets of a set

It's very simple to do this recursively. The basic idea is that for each element, the set of subsets can be divided equally into those that contain that element and those that don't, and those two sets are otherwise equal.

  • For n=1, the set of subsets is {{}, {1}}
  • For n>1, find the set of subsets of 1,...,n-1 and make two copies of it. For one of them, add n to each subset. Then take the union of the two copies.

Edit To make it crystal clear:

  • The set of subsets of {1} is {{}, {1}}
  • For {1, 2}, take {{}, {1}}, add 2 to each subset to get {{2}, {1, 2}} and take the union with {{}, {1}} to get {{}, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}}
  • Repeat till you reach n

LIMIT 10..20 in SQL Server

Just for the record solution that works across most database engines though might not be the most efficient:

Select Top (ReturnCount) *
From (
    Select Top (SkipCount + ReturnCount) *
    From SourceTable
    Order By ReverseSortCondition
) ReverseSorted
Order By SortCondition

Pelase note: the last page would still contain ReturnCount rows no matter what SkipCount is. But that might be a good thing in many cases.

How can I find out the current route in Rails?

I'll assume you mean the URI:

class BankController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :pre_process 

  def index
    # do something
  end

  private
    def pre_process
      logger.debug("The URL" + request.url)
    end
end

As per your comment below, if you need the name of the controller, you can simply do this:

  private
    def pre_process
      self.controller_name        #  Will return "order"
      self.controller_class_name  # Will return "OrderController"
    end

You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

Becareful if you are using wamp don't use the wamp ui to enable the extension=php_openssl.dll

just go to your php directory , for example : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12 and edit the php.ini and uncomment the extension=php_openssl.dll.

it should work.

How to find and replace with regex in excel

As an alternative to Regex, running:

Sub Replacer()
   Dim N As Long, i As Long
   N = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

   For i = 1 To N
      If Left(Cells(i, "A").Value, 9) = "texts are" Then
         Cells(i, "A").Value = "texts are replaced"
      End If
   Next i
End Sub

will produce:

.htaccess, order allow, deny, deny from all: confused?

This is a quite confusing way of using Apache configuration directives.

Technically, the first bit is equivalent to

Allow From All

This is because Order Deny,Allow makes the Deny directive evaluated before the Allow Directives. In this case, Deny and Allow conflict with each other, but Allow, being the last evaluated will match any user, and access will be granted.

Now, just to make things clear, this kind of configuration is BAD and should be avoided at all cost, because it borders undefined behaviour.

The Limit sections define which HTTP methods have access to the directory containing the .htaccess file.

Here, GET and POST methods are allowed access, and PUT and DELETE methods are denied access. Here's a link explaining what the various HTTP methods are: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

However, it's more than often useless to use these limitations as long as you don't have custom CGI scripts or Apache modules that directly handle the non-standard methods (PUT and DELETE), since by default, Apache does not handle them at all.

It must also be noted that a few other methods exist that can also be handled by Limit, namely CONNECT, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, and UNLOCK.

The last bit is also most certainly useless, since any correctly configured Apache installation contains the following piece of configuration (for Apache 2.2 and earlier):

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being 
# viewed by Web clients. 
#
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy all
</Files>

which forbids access to any file beginning by ".ht".

The equivalent Apache 2.4 configuration should look like:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Require all denied
</Files>

How do the post increment (i++) and pre increment (++i) operators work in Java?

In the above example

int a = 5,i;

i=++a + ++a + a++;        //Ans: i = 6 + 7 + 7 = 20 then a = 8 

i=a++ + ++a + ++a;        //Ans: i = 8 + 10 + 11 = 29 then a = 11

a=++a + ++a + a++;        //Ans: a = 12 + 13 + 13 = 38

System.out.println(a);    //Ans: a = 38

System.out.println(i);    //Ans: i = 29

Spring-boot default profile for integration tests

A delarative way to do that (In fact, a minor tweek to @Compito's original answer):

  1. Set spring.profiles.active=test in test/resources/application-default.properties.
  2. Add test/resources/application-test.properties for tests and override only the properties you need.

MySQL, create a simple function

this is a mysql function example. I hope it helps. (I have not tested it yet, but should work)

How to delete duplicate rows in SQL Server?

It can be done by many ways in sql server the most simplest way to do so is: Insert the distinct rows from the duplicate rows table to new temporary table. Then delete all the data from duplicate rows table then insert all data from temporary table which has no duplicates as shown below.

select distinct * into #tmp From table
   delete from table
   insert into table
   select * from #tmp drop table #tmp

   select * from table

Delete duplicate rows using Common Table Expression(CTE)

With CTE_Duplicates as 
(select id,name , row_number() 
over(partition by id,name order by id,name ) rownumber  from table  ) 
delete from CTE_Duplicates where rownumber!=1

How to create a new variable in a data.frame based on a condition?

One obvious and straightforward possibility is to use "if-else conditions". In that example

x <- c(1, 2, 4)
y <- c(1, 4, 5)
w <- ifelse(x <= 1, "good", ifelse((x >= 3) & (x <= 5), "bad", "fair"))
data.frame(x, y, w)

** For the additional question in the edit** Is that what you expect ?

> d1 <- c("e", "c", "a")
> d2 <- c("e", "a", "b")
> 
> w <- ifelse((d1 == "e") & (d2 == "e"), 1, 
+    ifelse((d1=="a") & (d2 == "b"), 2,
+    ifelse((d1 == "e"), 3, 99)))
>     
> data.frame(d1, d2, w)
  d1 d2  w
1  e  e  1
2  c  a 99
3  a  b  2

If you do not feel comfortable with the ifelse function, you can also work with the if and else statements for such applications.

OpenCV error: the function is not implemented

Before installing libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config or libqt4-dev. Make sure that you have uninstalled opencv. You can confirm this by running import cv2 on your python shell. If it fails, then install the needed packages and re-run cmake .

Log.INFO vs. Log.DEBUG

Also remember that all info(), error(), and debug() logging calls provide internal documentation within any application.

How to parse a CSV file using PHP

I been seeking the same thing without using some unsupported PHP class. Excel CSV dosn't always use the quote separators and escapes the quotes using "" because the algorithm was probably made back the 80's or something. After looking at several .csv parsers in the comments section on PHP.NET, I seen ones that even used callbacks or eval'd code and they either didnt work like needed or simply didnt work at all. So, I wrote my own routines for this and they work in the most basic PHP configuration. The array keys can either be numeric or named as the fields given in the header row. Hope this helps.

apache mod_rewrite is not working or not enabled

To get mod_rewrite to work for me in Apache 2.4, I had to add the "Require all granted" line below.

<Directory /var/www>
   # Required if running apache > 2.4
   Require all granted

   RewriteEngine on 
   RewriteRule ^cachebust-([a-z0-9]+)\/(.*) /$2 [L] 
 </Directory>

supposedly a similar requirement exists for Apache 2.2 as well, if you're using that:

<Directory /var/www>
   # Required if running apache 2.2
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all

   RewriteEngine on 
   RewriteRule ^cachebust-([a-z0-9]+)\/(.*) /$2 [L] 
 </Directory>

Note that an ErrorDocument 404 directive can sometimes override these things as well, so if it's not working try commenting out your ErrorDocument directive and see if it works. The above example can be used to ensure a site isn't served from cache by including a subfolder in the path, though the files reside at the root of the server.

json_encode sparse PHP array as JSON array, not JSON object

Try this,

<?php
$arr1=array('result1'=>'abcd','result2'=>'efg'); 
$arr2=array('result1'=>'hijk','result2'=>'lmn'); 
$arr3=array($arr1,$arr2); 
print (json_encode($arr3)); 
?>

How to insert 1000 rows at a time

You can of course use a loop, or you can insert them in a single statement, e.g.

Insert into db
(names,email,password) 
Values
('abc','def','mypassword')
,('ghi','jkl','mypassword2')
,('mno','pqr','mypassword3')

It really depends where you're getting your data from.

If you use a loop, wrapping it in a transaction will make it a bit faster.

UPDATE

What if i want to insert unique names?

If you want to insert unique names, then you need to generate data with unique names. One way to do this is to use Visual Studio to generate test data.

jQuery UI - Close Dialog When Clicked Outside

Forget using another plugin:

Here are 3 methods to close a jquery UI dialog when clicking outside popin:

If the dialog is modal/has background overlay: http://jsfiddle.net/jasonday/6FGqN/

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery("#dialog").dialog({
        bgiframe: true,
        autoOpen: false,
        height: 100,
        modal: true,
        open: function(){
            jQuery('.ui-widget-overlay').bind('click',function(){
                jQuery('#dialog').dialog('close');
            })
        }
    });
}); 

If dialog is non-modal Method 1: method 1: http://jsfiddle.net/jasonday/xpkFf/

 // Close Pop-in If the user clicks anywhere else on the page
                     jQuery('body')
                      .bind(
                       'click',
                       function(e){
                        if(
                         jQuery('#dialog').dialog('isOpen')
                         && !jQuery(e.target).is('.ui-dialog, a')
                         && !jQuery(e.target).closest('.ui-dialog').length
                        ){
                         jQuery('#dialog').dialog('close');
                        }
                       }
                      );

Non-Modal dialog Method 2: http://jsfiddle.net/jasonday/eccKr/

  $(function() {
            $( "#dialog" ).dialog({
                autoOpen: false, 
                minHeight: 100,
                width: 342,
                draggable: true,
                resizable: false,
                modal: false,
                closeText: 'Close',
                  open: function() {
                      closedialog = 1;
                      $(document).bind('click', overlayclickclose);
                  },
                  focus: function() {
                      closedialog = 0;
                  },
                  close: function() {
                      $(document).unbind('click');
                  }



        });

         $('#linkID').click(function() {
            $('#dialog').dialog('open');
            closedialog = 0;
        });

         var closedialog;

          function overlayclickclose() {
              if (closedialog) {
                  $('#dialog').dialog('close');
              }

              //set to one because click on dialog box sets to zero
              closedialog = 1;
          }


  });

Good Patterns For VBA Error Handling

Here's a pretty decent pattern.

For debugging: When an error is raised, hit Ctrl-Break (or Ctrl-Pause), drag the break marker (or whatever it's called) down to the Resume line, hit F8 and you'll step to the line that "threw" the error.

The ExitHandler is your "Finally".

Hourglass will be killed every time. Status bar text will be cleared every time.

Public Sub ErrorHandlerExample()
    Dim dbs As DAO.Database
    Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    Dim varRetVal As Variant

    Set dbs = CurrentDb
    Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SomeTable", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges + dbFailOnError)

    Call DoCmd.Hourglass(True)

    'Do something with the RecordSet and close it.

    Call DoCmd.Hourglass(False)

ExitHandler:
    Set rst = Nothing
    Set dbs = Nothing
    Exit Sub

ErrHandler:
    Call DoCmd.Hourglass(False)
    Call DoCmd.SetWarnings(True)
    varRetVal = SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)

    Dim errX As DAO.Error
    If Errors.Count > 1 Then
       For Each errX In DAO.Errors
          MsgBox "ODBC Error " & errX.Number & vbCrLf & errX.Description
       Next errX
    Else
        MsgBox "VBA Error " & Err.Number & ": " & vbCrLf & Err.Description & vbCrLf & "In: Form_MainForm", vbCritical
    End If

    Resume ExitHandler
    Resume

End Sub



    Select Case Err.Number
        Case 3326 'This Recordset is not updateable
            'Do something about it. Or not...
        Case Else
            MsgBox "VBA Error " & Err.Number & ": " & vbCrLf & Err.Description & vbCrLf & "In: Form_MainForm", vbCritical
    End Select

It also traps for both DAO and VBA errors. You can put a Select Case in the VBA error section if you want to trap for specific Err numbers.

Select Case Err.Number
    Case 3326 'This Recordset is not updateable
        'Do something about it. Or not...
    Case Else
        MsgBox "VBA Error " & Err.Number & ": " & vbCrLf & Err.Description & vbCrLf & "In: Form_MainForm", vbCritical
End Select

Import MySQL database into a MS SQL Server

I found a way for this on the net

It demands a little bit of work, because it has to be done table by table. But anyway, I could copy the tables, data and constraints into a MS SQL database.

Generating UML from C++ code?

I've developed a tool called Doxygraph which can parse the XML generated by Doxygen and turn it into an interactive UML class diagram which you can view in a web browser or import into any software that can read Graphviz "dot" files.

node.js - how to write an array to file

Remember you can access good old ECMAScript APIs, in this case, JSON.stringify().

For simple arrays like the one in your example:

require('fs').writeFile(

    './my.json',

    JSON.stringify(myArray),

    function (err) {
        if (err) {
            console.error('Crap happens');
        }
    }
);

Why SpringMVC Request method 'GET' not supported?

I solved this error by including a get and post request in my controller: method={RequestMethod.POST, RequestMethod.GET}

What is the difference between the float and integer data type when the size is the same?

  • float stores floating-point values, that is, values that have potential decimal places
  • int only stores integral values, that is, whole numbers

So while both are 32 bits wide, their use (and representation) is quite different. You cannot store 3.141 in an integer, but you can in a float.

Dissecting them both a little further:

In an integer, all bits are used to store the number value. This is (in Java and many computers too) done in the so-called two's complement. This basically means that you can represent the values of −231 to 231 − 1.

In a float, those 32 bits are divided between three distinct parts: The sign bit, the exponent and the mantissa. They are laid out as follows:

S EEEEEEEE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

There is a single bit that determines whether the number is negative or non-negative (zero is neither positive nor negative, but has the sign bit set to zero). Then there are eight bits of an exponent and 23 bits of mantissa. To get a useful number from that, (roughly) the following calculation is performed:

M × 2E

(There is more to it, but this should suffice for the purpose of this discussion)

The mantissa is in essence not much more than a 24-bit integer number. This gets multiplied by 2 to the power of the exponent part, which, roughly, is a number between −128 and 127.

Therefore you can accurately represent all numbers that would fit in a 24-bit integer but the numeric range is also much greater as larger exponents allow for larger values. For example, the maximum value for a float is around 3.4 × 1038 whereas int only allows values up to 2.1 × 109.

But that also means, since 32 bits only have 4.2 × 109 different states (which are all used to represent the values int can store), that at the larger end of float's numeric range the numbers are spaced wider apart (since there cannot be more unique float numbers than there are unique int numbers). You cannot represent some numbers exactly, then. For example, the number 2 × 1012 has a representation in float of 1,999,999,991,808. That might be close to 2,000,000,000,000 but it's not exact. Likewise, adding 1 to that number does not change it because 1 is too small to make a difference in the larger scales float is using there.

Similarly, you can also represent very small numbers (between 0 and 1) in a float but regardless of whether the numbers are very large or very small, float only has a precision of around 6 or 7 decimal digits. If you have large numbers those digits are at the start of the number (e.g. 4.51534 × 1035, which is nothing more than 451534 follows by 30 zeroes – and float cannot tell anything useful about whether those 30 digits are actually zeroes or something else), for very small numbers (e.g. 3.14159 × 10−27) they are at the far end of the number, way beyond the starting digits of 0.0000...

Create boolean column in MySQL with false as default value?

You can set a default value at creation time like:

CREATE TABLE Persons (
ID int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Age int,
Married boolean DEFAULT false);

How to find the statistical mode?

Another possible solution:

Mode <- function(x) {
    if (is.numeric(x)) {
        x_table <- table(x)
        return(as.numeric(names(x_table)[which.max(x_table)]))
    }
}

Usage:

set.seed(100)
v <- sample(x = 1:100, size = 1000000, replace = TRUE)
system.time(Mode(v))

Output:

   user  system elapsed 
   0.32    0.00    0.31

In Bash, how to add "Are you sure [Y/n]" to any command or alias?

Not the same, but idea that works anyway.

#!/bin/bash  
i='y'  
while [ ${i:0:1} != n ]  
do  
    # Command(s)  
    read -p " Again? Y/n " i  
    [[ ${#i} -eq 0 ]] && i='y'  
done  

Output:
Again? Y/n N
Again? Y/n Anything
Again? Y/n 7
Again? Y/n &
Again? Y/n nsijf
$

Now only checks 1st character of $i read.

pandas loc vs. iloc vs. at vs. iat?

Updated for pandas 0.20 given that ix is deprecated. This demonstrates not only how to use loc, iloc, at, iat, set_value, but how to accomplish, mixed positional/label based indexing.


loc - label based
Allows you to pass 1-D arrays as indexers. Arrays can be either slices (subsets) of the index or column, or they can be boolean arrays which are equal in length to the index or columns.

Special Note: when a scalar indexer is passed, loc can assign a new index or column value that didn't exist before.

# label based, but we can use position values
# to get the labels from the index object
df.loc[df.index[2], 'ColName'] = 3

df.loc[df.index[1:3], 'ColName'] = 3

iloc - position based
Similar to loc except with positions rather that index values. However, you cannot assign new columns or indices.

# position based, but we can get the position
# from the columns object via the `get_loc` method
df.iloc[2, df.columns.get_loc('ColName')] = 3

df.iloc[2, 4] = 3

df.iloc[:3, 2:4] = 3

at - label based
Works very similar to loc for scalar indexers. Cannot operate on array indexers. Can! assign new indices and columns.

Advantage over loc is that this is faster.
Disadvantage is that you can't use arrays for indexers.

# label based, but we can use position values
# to get the labels from the index object
df.at[df.index[2], 'ColName'] = 3

df.at['C', 'ColName'] = 3

iat - position based
Works similarly to iloc. Cannot work in array indexers. Cannot! assign new indices and columns.

Advantage over iloc is that this is faster.
Disadvantage is that you can't use arrays for indexers.

# position based, but we can get the position
# from the columns object via the `get_loc` method
IBM.iat[2, IBM.columns.get_loc('PNL')] = 3

set_value - label based
Works very similar to loc for scalar indexers. Cannot operate on array indexers. Can! assign new indices and columns

Advantage Super fast, because there is very little overhead!
Disadvantage There is very little overhead because pandas is not doing a bunch of safety checks. Use at your own risk. Also, this is not intended for public use.

# label based, but we can use position values
# to get the labels from the index object
df.set_value(df.index[2], 'ColName', 3)

set_value with takable=True - position based
Works similarly to iloc. Cannot work in array indexers. Cannot! assign new indices and columns.

Advantage Super fast, because there is very little overhead!
Disadvantage There is very little overhead because pandas is not doing a bunch of safety checks. Use at your own risk. Also, this is not intended for public use.

# position based, but we can get the position
# from the columns object via the `get_loc` method
df.set_value(2, df.columns.get_loc('ColName'), 3, takable=True)

1 = false and 0 = true?

There's no good reason for 1 to be true and 0 to be false; that's just the way things have always been notated. So from a logical perspective, the function in your API isn't "wrong", per se.

That said, it's normally not advisable to work against the idioms of whatever language or framework you're using without a damn good reason to do so, so whoever wrote this function was probably pretty bone-headed, assuming it's not simply a bug.

What is the right way to treat argparse.Namespace() as a dictionary?

Is it proper to "reach into" an object and use its dict property?

In general, I would say "no". However Namespace has struck me as over-engineered, possibly from when classes couldn't inherit from built-in types.

On the other hand, Namespace does present a task-oriented approach to argparse, and I can't think of a situation that would call for grabbing the __dict__, but the limits of my imagination are not the same as yours.

For further domain-related values, check out the properties of window.location online. You may find that location.host is a better option, as its content could differ from document.domain. For instance, the url http://192.168.1.80:8080 will have only the ipaddress in document.domain, but both the ipaddress and port number in location.host.

Lollipop : draw behind statusBar with its color set to transparent

This worked for my case


// Create/Set toolbar as actionbar
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

// Check if the version of Android is Lollipop or higher
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {

    // Set the status bar to dark-semi-transparentish
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

    // Set paddingTop of toolbar to height of status bar.
    // Fixes statusbar covers toolbar issue
    toolbar.setPadding(0, getStatusBarHeight(), 0, 0);
}

// A method to find height of the status bar
public int getStatusBarHeight() {
    int result = 0;
    int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
    if (resourceId > 0) {
        result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
    }
    return result;
}

How to convert a list into data table

Just add this function and call it, it will convert List to DataTable.

public static DataTable ToDataTable<T>(List<T> items)
{
        DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(typeof(T).Name);

        //Get all the properties
        PropertyInfo[] Props = typeof(T).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
        foreach (PropertyInfo prop in Props)
        {
            //Defining type of data column gives proper data table 
            var type = (prop.PropertyType.IsGenericType && prop.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>) ? Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType) : prop.PropertyType);
            //Setting column names as Property names
            dataTable.Columns.Add(prop.Name, type);
        }
        foreach (T item in items)
        {
           var values = new object[Props.Length];
           for (int i = 0; i < Props.Length; i++)
           {
                //inserting property values to datatable rows
                values[i] = Props[i].GetValue(item, null);
           }
           dataTable.Rows.Add(values);
      }
      //put a breakpoint here and check datatable
      return dataTable;
}

What good are SQL Server schemas?

They can also provide a kind of naming collision protection for plugin data. For example, the new Change Data Capture feature in SQL Server 2008 puts the tables it uses in a separate cdc schema. This way, they don't have to worry about a naming conflict between a CDC table and a real table used in the database, and for that matter can deliberately shadow the names of the real tables.

pandas convert some columns into rows

I guess I found a simpler solution

temp1 = pd.melt(df1, id_vars=["location"], var_name='Date', value_name='Value')
temp2 = pd.melt(df1, id_vars=["name"], var_name='Date', value_name='Value')

Concat whole temp1 with temp2's column name

temp1['new_column'] = temp2['name']

You now have what you asked for.

Clearing the terminal screen?

You could try:

Serial.write(13);

Which will provide a carriage return, returning to the start of the line every iteration - which should do what you're chasing? (Especially if everything is fixed width).

Read CSV with Scanner()

I agree with Scheintod that using an existing CSV library is a good idea to have RFC-4180-compliance from the start. Besides the mentioned OpenCSV and Oster Miller, there are a series of other CSV libraries out there. If you're interested in performance, you can take a look at the uniVocity/csv-parsers-comparison. It shows that

are consistently the fastest using either JDK 6, 7, 8, or 9. The study did not find any RFC 4180 compatibility issues in any of those three. Both OpenCSV and Oster Miller are found to be about twice as slow as those.

I'm not in any way associated with the author(s), but concerning the uniVocity CSV parser, the study might be biased due to its author being the same as of that parser.

To note, the author of SimpleFlatMapper has also published a performance comparison comparing only those three.

Is ASCII code 7-bit or 8-bit?

when we call ASCII as 7 bit code, the left most bit is used as sign bit so with 7 bits we can write up to 127. that means from -126 to 127 because Max imam value of ASCII is 0 to 255. this can be only satisfied with the argument of 7 bit if last bit is considered as sign bit

Generate a unique id

We can do something like this

string TransactionID = "BTRF"+DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString().Substring(0, 10);

How to show full height background image?

This worked for me (though it's for reactjs & tachyons used as inline CSS)

<div className="pa2 cf vh-100-ns" style={{backgroundImage: `url(${a6})`}}> 
........
</div>

This takes in css as height: 100vh

How to get the number of characters in a string

You can try RuneCountInString from the utf8 package.

returns the number of runes in p

that, as illustrated in this script: the length of "World" might be 6 (when written in Chinese: "??"), but its rune count is 2:

package main
    
import "fmt"
import "unicode/utf8"
    
func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, ??", len("??"), utf8.RuneCountInString("??"))
}

Phrozen adds in the comments:

Actually you can do len() over runes by just type casting.
len([]rune("??")) will print 2. At leats in Go 1.3.


And with CL 108985 (May 2018, for Go 1.11), len([]rune(string)) is now optimized. (Fixes issue 24923)

The compiler detects len([]rune(string)) pattern automatically, and replaces it with for r := range s call.

Adds a new runtime function to count runes in a string. Modifies the compiler to detect the pattern len([]rune(string)) and replaces it with the new rune counting runtime function.

RuneCount/lenruneslice/ASCII        27.8ns ± 2%  14.5ns ± 3%  -47.70%
RuneCount/lenruneslice/Japanese     126ns ± 2%   60  ns ± 2%  -52.03%
RuneCount/lenruneslice/MixedLength  104ns ± 2%   50  ns ± 1%  -51.71%

Stefan Steiger points to the blog post "Text normalization in Go"

What is a character?

As was mentioned in the strings blog post, characters can span multiple runes.
For example, an 'e' and '?´?´' (acute "\u0301") can combine to form 'é' ("e\u0301" in NFD). Together these two runes are one character.

The definition of a character may vary depending on the application.
For normalization we will define it as:

  • a sequence of runes that starts with a starter,
  • a rune that does not modify or combine backwards with any other rune,
  • followed by possibly empty sequence of non-starters, that is, runes that do (typically accents).

The normalization algorithm processes one character at at time.

Using that package and its Iter type, the actual number of "character" would be:

package main
    
import "fmt"
import "golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm"
    
func main() {
    var ia norm.Iter
    ia.InitString(norm.NFKD, "école")
    nc := 0
    for !ia.Done() {
        nc = nc + 1
        ia.Next()
    }
    fmt.Printf("Number of chars: %d\n", nc)
}

Here, this uses the Unicode Normalization form NFKD "Compatibility Decomposition"


Oliver's answer points to UNICODE TEXT SEGMENTATION as the only way to reliably determining default boundaries between certain significant text elements: user-perceived characters, words, and sentences.

For that, you need an external library like rivo/uniseg, which does Unicode Text Segmentation.

That will actually count "grapheme cluster", where multiple code points may be combined into one user-perceived character.

package uniseg
    
import (
    "fmt"
    
    "github.com/rivo/uniseg"
)
    
func main() {
    gr := uniseg.NewGraphemes("!")
    for gr.Next() {
        fmt.Printf("%x ", gr.Runes())
    }
    // Output: [1f44d 1f3fc] [21]
}

Two graphemes, even though there are three runes (Unicode code points).

You can see other examples in "How to manipulate strings in GO to reverse them?"

? alone is one grapheme, but, from unicode to code points converter, 4 runes:

SQL Server: how to create a stored procedure

In T-SQL stored procedures for input parameters explicit 'in' keyword is not required and for output parameters an explicit 'Output' keyword is required. The query in question can be written as:

CREATE PROCEDURE dept_count 
    (
    -- Add input and output parameters for the stored procedure here
    @dept_name varchar(20), --Input parameter 
    @d_count int OUTPUT     -- Output parameter declared with the help of OUTPUT/OUT keyword
    ) 
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

     -- Statements for procedure here
    SELECT @d_count = count(*)
    from instructor
      where instructor.dept_name=@dept_name

END
GO

and to execute above procedure we can write as:

Declare @dept_name varchar(20), -- Declaring the variable to collect the dept_name
        @d_count int            -- Declaring the variable to collect the d_count 
SET @dept_name = 'Test'

Execute  dept_count @dept_name,@d_count output
SELECT   @d_count               -- "Select" Statement is used to show the output 

How can I check if an argument is defined when starting/calling a batch file?

A more-advanced example:

? unlimited arguments.

? exist on file system (either file or directory?) or a generic string.

? specify if is a file

? specify is a directory

? no extensions, would work in legacy scripts!

? minimal code ?

@echo off

:loop
      ::-------------------------- has argument ?
      if ["%~1"]==[""] (
        echo done.
        goto end
      )
      ::-------------------------- argument exist ?
      if not exist %~s1 (
        echo not exist
      ) else (
        echo exist
        if exist %~s1\NUL (
          echo is a directory
        ) else (
          echo is a file
        )
      )
      ::--------------------------
      shift
      goto loop
      
      
:end

pause

? other stuff..?

¦ in %~1 - the ~ removes any wrapping " or '.

¦ in %~s1 - the s makes the path be DOS 8.3 naming, which is a nice trick to avoid spaces in file-name while checking stuff (and this way no need to wrap the resource with more "s.

¦ the ["%~1"]==[""] "can not be sure" if the argument is a file/directory or just a generic string yet, so instead the expression uses brackets and the original unmodified %1 (just without the " wrapping, if any..)

if there were no arguments of if we've used shift and the arg-list pointer has passed the last one, the expression will be evaluated to [""]==[""].

¦ this is as much specific you can be without using more tricks (it would work even in windows-95's batch-scripts...)

¦ execution examples

save it as identifier.cmd

it can identify an unlimited arguments (normally you are limited to %1-%9), just remember to wrap the arguments with inverted-commas, or use 8.3 naming, or drag&drop them over (it automatically does either of above).


this allows you to run the following commands:

?identifier.cmd c:\windows and to get

exist
is a directory
done

?identifier.cmd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" and to get

exist
is a file
done

? and multiple arguments (of course this is the whole-deal..)

identifier.cmd c:\windows\system32 c:\hiberfil.sys "c:\pagefile.sys" hello-world

and to get

exist
is a directory
exist
is a file
exist
is a file
not exist
done.

naturally it can be a lot more complex, but nice examples should always be simple and minimal. :)

Hope it helps anyone :)

How to abort a Task like aborting a Thread (Thread.Abort method)?

  1. You shouldn't use Thread.Abort()
  2. Tasks can be Cancelled but not aborted.

The Thread.Abort() method is (severely) deprecated.

Both Threads and Tasks should cooperate when being stopped, otherwise you run the risk of leaving the system in a unstable/undefined state.

If you do need to run a Process and kill it from the outside, the only safe option is to run it in a separate AppDomain.


This answer is about .net 3.5 and earlier.

Thread-abort handling has been improved since then, a.o. by changing the way finally blocks work.

But Thread.Abort is still a suspect solution that you should always try to avoid.

How to access random item in list?

Printing randomly country name from JSON file.
Model:

public class Country
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
    }

Implementaton:

string filePath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, @"..\..\..\")) + @"Data\Country.json";
            string _countryJson = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
            var _country = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Country>>(_countryJson);


            int index = random.Next(_country.Count);
            Console.WriteLine(_country[index].Name);

How to upload a file using Java HttpClient library working with PHP

I knew I am late to the party but below is the correct way to deal with this, the key is to use InputStreamBody in place of FileBody to upload multi-part file.

   try {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost("https://someserver.com/api/path/");
        postRequest.addHeader("Authorization",authHeader);
        //don't set the content type here            
        //postRequest.addHeader("Content-Type","multipart/form-data");
        MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);


        File file = new File(filePath);
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
        reqEntity.addPart("parm-name", new InputStreamBody(fileInputStream,"image/jpeg","file_name.jpg"));

        postRequest.setEntity(reqEntity);
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(postRequest);

        }catch(Exception e) {
            Log.e("URISyntaxException", e.toString());
   }

Why does range(start, end) not include end?

Exclusive ranges do have some benefits:

For one thing each item in range(0,n) is a valid index for lists of length n.

Also range(0,n) has a length of n, not n+1 which an inclusive range would.

Dropping Unique constraint from MySQL table

The constraint could be removed with syntax:

ALTER TABLE

As of MySQL 8.0.19, ALTER TABLE permits more general (and SQL standard) syntax for dropping and altering existing constraints of any type, where the constraint type is determined from the constraint name: ALTER TABLE tbl_name DROP CONSTRAINT symbol;

Example:

CREATE TABLE tab(id INT, CONSTRAINT unq_tab_id UNIQUE(id));

-- checking constraint name if autogenerated
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tab';

-- dropping constraint
ALTER TABLE tab DROP CONSTRAINT unq_tab_id;

Get the current user, within an ApiController action, without passing the userID as a parameter

None of the suggestions above worked for me. The following did!

HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name

I guess there's a wide variety of scenarios and this one worked for me. My scenario involved an AngularJS frontend and a Web API 2 backend application, both running under IIS. I had to set both applications to run exclusively under Windows Authentication.

No need to pass any user information. The browser and IIS exchange the logged on user credentials and the Web API has access to the user credentials on demand (from IIS I presume).

Javascript callback when IFRAME is finished loading?

I am using jQuery and surprisingly this seems to load as I just tested and loaded a heavy page and I didn't get the alert for a few seconds until I saw the iframe load:

$('#the_iframe').load(function(){
    alert('loaded!');
});

So if you don't want to use jQuery take a look at their source code and see if this function behaves differently with iframe DOM elements, I will look at it myself later as I am interested and post here. Also I only tested in the latest chrome.

How to load specific image from assets with Swift

You can easily pick image from asset without UIImage(named: "green-square-Retina").

Instead use the image object directly from bundle.
Start typing the image name and you will get suggestions with actual image from bundle. It is advisable practice and less prone to error.

See this Stackoverflow answer for reference.

How can I get the full object in Node.js's console.log(), rather than '[Object]'?

JSON.stringify()

let myVar = {a: {b: {c: 1}}};
console.log(JSON.stringify( myVar, null, 4 ))

Great for deep inspection of data objects. This approach works on nested arrays and nested objects with arrays.

How to run vbs as administrator from vbs?

This is the universal and best solution for this:

If WScript.Arguments.Count <> 1 Then WScript.Quit 1
RunAsAdmin
Main

Sub RunAsAdmin()
    Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Set Env = Shell.Environment("VOLATILE")
    If Shell.Run("%ComSpec% /C ""NET FILE""", 0, True) <> 0 Then
        Env("CurrentDirectory") = Shell.CurrentDirectory
        ArgsList = ""
        For i = 1 To WScript.Arguments.Count
            ArgsList = ArgsList & """ """ & WScript.Arguments(i - 1)
        Next
        CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute WScript.FullName, """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & ArgsList & """", , "runas", 5
        WScript.Sleep 100
        Env.Remove("CurrentDirectory")
        WScript.Quit
    End If
    If Env("CurrentDirectory") <> "" Then Shell.CurrentDirectory = Env("CurrentDirectory")
End Sub

Sub Main()
    'Your code here!
End Sub

Advantages:

1) The parameter injection is not possible.
2) The number of arguments does not change after the elevation to administrator and then you can check them before you elevate yourself.
3) You know for real and immediately if the script runs as an administrator. For example, if you call it from a control panel uninstallation entry, the RunAsAdmin function will not run unnecessarily because in that case you are already an administrator. Same thing if you call it from a script already elevated to administrator.
4) The window is kept at its current size and position, as it should be.
5) The current directory doesn't change after obtained administrative privileges.

Disadvantages: Nobody

How to run a cron job inside a docker container?

Cron jobs are stored in /var/spool/cron/crontabs (Common place in all distros I Know). BTW, You can create a cron tab in bash using something like that:

crontab -l > cronexample
echo "00 09 * * 1-5 echo hello" >> cronexample
crontab cronexample
rm cronexample

This will create a temporary file with cron task, then program it using crontab. Last line remove temporary file.

How to use '-prune' option of 'find' in sh?

The thing I'd found confusing about -prune is that it's an action (like -print), not a test (like -name). It alters the "to-do" list, but always returns true.

The general pattern for using -prune is this:

find [path] [conditions to prune] -prune -o \
            [your usual conditions] [actions to perform]

You pretty much always want the -o (logical OR) immediately after -prune, because that first part of the test (up to and including -prune) will return false for the stuff you actually want (ie: the stuff you don't want to prune out).

Here's an example:

find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo' -print

This will find the "*.foo" files that aren't under ".snapshot" directories. In this example, -name .snapshot makes up the [conditions to prune], and -name '*.foo' -print is [your usual conditions] and [actions to perform].

Important notes:

  1. If all you want to do is print the results you might be used to leaving out the -print action. You generally don't want to do that when using -prune.

    The default behavior of find is to "and" the entire expression with the -print action if there are no actions other than -prune (ironically) at the end. That means that writing this:

     find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo'              # DON'T DO THIS
    

    is equivalent to writing this:

     find . \( -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo' \) -print # DON'T DO THIS
    

    which means that it'll also print out the name of the directory you're pruning, which usually isn't what you want. Instead it's better to explicitly specify the -print action if that's what you want:

     find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo' -print       # DO THIS
    
  2. If your "usual condition" happens to match files that also match your prune condition, those files will not be included in the output. The way to fix this is to add a -type d predicate to your prune condition.

    For example, suppose we wanted to prune out any directory that started with .git (this is admittedly somewhat contrived -- normally you only need to remove the thing named exactly .git), but other than that wanted to see all files, including files like .gitignore. You might try this:

    find . -name '.git*' -prune -o -type f -print               # DON'T DO THIS
    

    This would not include .gitignore in the output. Here's the fixed version:

    find . -name '.git*' -type d -prune -o -type f -print       # DO THIS
    

Extra tip: if you're using the GNU version of find, the texinfo page for find has a more detailed explanation than its manpage (as is true for most GNU utilities).

How to print a string at a fixed width?

Originally posted as an edit to @0x90's answer, but it got rejected for deviating from the post's original intent and recommended to post as a comment or answer, so I'm including the short write-up here.

In addition to the answer from @0x90, the syntax can be made more flexible, by using a variable for the width (as per @user2763554's comment):

width=10
'{0: <{width}}'.format('sss', width=width)

Further, you can make this expression briefer, by only using numbers and relying on the order of the arguments passed to format:

width=10
'{0: <{1}}'.format('sss', width)

Or even leave out all numbers for maximal, potentially non-pythonically implicit, compactness:

width=10
'{: <{}}'.format('sss', width)

Update 2017-05-26

With the introduction of formatted string literals ("f-strings" for short) in Python 3.6, it is now possible to access previously defined variables with a briefer syntax:

>>> name = "Fred"
>>> f"He said his name is {name}."
'He said his name is Fred.'

This also applies to string formatting

>>> width=10
>>> string = 'sss'
>>> f'{string: <{width}}'
'sss       '

How to call a View Controller programmatically?

You can call ViewController this way, If you want with NavigationController

enter image description here

2.1 In Loaded View : add below in .h file

@interface VerifyExpViewController : UIViewController <UINavigationControllerDelegate>

2.2 In Loaded View : add below in .m file

  @implementation VerifyExpViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.navigationController.delegate = self;
    [self setNavigationBar];
}
-(void)setNavigationBar
{
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
    [self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"B_topbar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor]};
    self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Btn_topback.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(onBackButtonTap:)];

    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
}

-(void)onBackButtonTap:(id)sender
{
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
-(IBAction)onSaveButtonTap:(id)sender

git cherry-pick says "...38c74d is a merge but no -m option was given"

-m means the parent number.

From the git doc:

Usually you cannot cherry-pick a merge because you do not know which side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of the mainline and allows cherry-pick to replay the change relative to the specified parent.

For example, if your commit tree is like below:

- A - D - E - F -   master
   \     /
    B - C           branch one

then git cherry-pick E will produce the issue you faced.

git cherry-pick E -m 1 means using D-E, while git cherry-pick E -m 2 means using B-C-E.

How do I read CSV data into a record array in NumPy?

I timed the

from numpy import genfromtxt
genfromtxt(fname = dest_file, dtype = (<whatever options>))

versus

import csv
import numpy as np
with open(dest_file,'r') as dest_f:
    data_iter = csv.reader(dest_f,
                           delimiter = delimiter,
                           quotechar = '"')
    data = [data for data in data_iter]
data_array = np.asarray(data, dtype = <whatever options>)

on 4.6 million rows with about 70 columns and found that the NumPy path took 2 min 16 secs and the csv-list comprehension method took 13 seconds.

I would recommend the csv-list comprehension method as it is most likely relies on pre-compiled libraries and not the interpreter as much as NumPy. I suspect the pandas method would have similar interpreter overhead.

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' while attempting to grant privileges. How do I grant privileges?

I also had the same problem with this but on Windows after upgrading to MySQL 5.5 from MySQL 5.1. I already tried changing, creating, and resetting password mentioned in here, here, here, and here, no clue. I still get the same error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I'm able to connect normally, show all databases, do selects and inserts, create and add users, and but when it comes to GRANT, I'm screwed up. Those access denied error shows up again.

I managed to solve this problem by fixing the privileges by the following command on the MySQL server bin/ directory as mentioned in here:

C:\MySQL Server 5.5\bin> mysql_upgrade

Then, the problem gone away. I hope this solution works on Linux too since usually MySQL provide the same command both on Linux and Windows.

What are the complexity guarantees of the standard containers?

I'm not aware of anything like a single table that lets you compare all of them in at one glance (I'm not sure such a table would even be feasible).

Of course the ISO standard document enumerates the complexity requirements in detail, sometimes in various rather readable tables, other times in less readable bullet points for each specific method.

Also the STL library reference at http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/ provides the complexity requirements where appropriate.

Change One Cell's Data in mysql

My answer is repeating what others have said before, but I thought I'd add an example, using MySQL, only because the previous answers were a little bit cryptic to me.

The general form of the command you need to use to update a single row's column:

UPDATE my_table SET my_column='new value' WHERE something='some value';

And here's an example.

BEFORE

mysql> select aet,port from ae;
+------------+-------+
| aet        | port  |
+------------+-------+
| DCM4CHEE01 | 11112 | 
| CDRECORD   | 10104 | 
+------------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

MAKING THE CHANGE

mysql> update ae set port='10105' where aet='CDRECORD';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

AFTER

mysql> select aet,port from ae;
+------------+-------+
| aet        | port  |
+------------+-------+
| DCM4CHEE01 | 11112 | 
| CDRECORD   | 10105 | 
+------------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

C function that counts lines in file

Here is my function

char *fileName = "input-1.txt";
countOfLinesFromFile(fileName);

void countOfLinesFromFile(char *filename){
FILE* myfile = fopen(filename, "r");
int ch, number_of_lines = 0;
do
{
    ch = fgetc(myfile);
    if(ch == '\n')
        number_of_lines++;
}
while (ch != EOF);
if(ch != '\n' && number_of_lines != 0)
    number_of_lines++;
fclose(myfile);
printf("number of lines in  %s   = %d",filename, number_of_lines);

}

Remove a file from the list that will be committed

Most of these answers circulate around removing a file from the "staging area" pre-commit, but I often find myself looking here after I've already committed and I want to remove some sensitive information from the commit I just made.

An easy to remember trick for all of you git commit --amend folks out there like me is that you can:

  1. Delete the accidentally committed file.
  2. git add . to add the deletion to the "staging area"
  3. git commit --amend to remove the file from the previous commit.

You will notice in the commit message that the unwanted file is now missing. Hooray! (Commit SHA will have changed, so be careful if you already pushed your changes to the remote.)

Going through a text file line by line in C

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

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

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

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

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

#define BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH 1024

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

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

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

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

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

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

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

#define BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH 1024

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

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

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

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

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

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

TypeScript for ... of with index / key?

You can use the for..in TypeScript operator to access the index when dealing with collections.

var test = [7,8,9];
for (var i in test) {
   console.log(i + ': ' + test[i]);
} 

Output:

 0: 7
 1: 8
 2: 9

Sibling package imports

First, you should avoid having files with the same name as the module itself. It may break other imports.

When you import a file, first the interpreter checks the current directory and then searchs global directories.

Inside examples or tests you can call:

from ..api import api

Git cli: get user info from username

Try this

git config user.name

git config command stores and gives all the information.

git config -l

This commands gives you all the required info that you want.

You can change the information using

git config --global user.name "<Your-name>"

Similarly you can change many info shown to you using -l option.

ln (Natural Log) in Python

math.log is the natural logarithm:

From the documentation:

math.log(x[, base]) With one argument, return the natural logarithm of x (to base e).

Your equation is therefore:

n = math.log((1 + (FV * r) / p) / math.log(1 + r)))

Note that in your code you convert n to a str twice which is unnecessary

How to make a Div appear on top of everything else on the screen?

z-index is not that simple friend. It doesn't actually matter if you put z-index:999999999999..... But it matters WHEN you gave it that z-index. Different dom-elements take precedence over each other as well.

I did one solution where I used jQuery to modify the elements css, and gave it the z-index only when I needed the element to be on top. That way we can be sure that the z-index of this item has been given last and the index will be noted. This one requires some action to be handled though, but in your case it seems to be possible.

Not sure if this works, but you could try giving the !important parameter too:

#desired_element { z-index: 99 !important; }

Edit: Adding a quote from the link for quick clarification:

First of all, z-index only works on positioned elements. If you try to set a z-index on an element with no position specified, it will do nothing. Secondly, z-index values can create stacking contexts, and now suddenly what seemed simple just got a lot more complicated.

Adding the z-index for the element via jQuery, gives the element different stacking context, and thus it tends to work. I do not recommend this, but try to keep the html and css in a such order that all elements are predictable.

The provided link is a must read. Stacking order etc. of html elements was something I was not aware as a newbie coder and that article cleared it for me pretty good.

What is the purpose of class methods?

Think about it this way: normal methods are useful to hide the details of dispatch: you can type myobj.foo() without worrying about whether the foo() method is implemented by the myobj object's class or one of its parent classes. Class methods are exactly analogous to this, but with the class object instead: they let you call MyClass.foo() without having to worry about whether foo() is implemented specially by MyClass because it needed its own specialized version, or whether it is letting its parent class handle the call.

Class methods are essential when you are doing set-up or computation that precedes the creation of an actual instance, because until the instance exists you obviously cannot use the instance as the dispatch point for your method calls. A good example can be viewed in the SQLAlchemy source code; take a look at the dbapi() class method at the following link:

https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/blob/ab6946769742602e40fb9ed9dde5f642885d1906/lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/mssql/pymssql.py#L47

You can see that the dbapi() method, which a database backend uses to import the vendor-specific database library it needs on-demand, is a class method because it needs to run before instances of a particular database connection start getting created — but that it cannot be a simple function or static function, because they want it to be able to call other, supporting methods that might similarly need to be written more specifically in subclasses than in their parent class. And if you dispatch to a function or static class, then you "forget" and lose the knowledge about which class is doing the initializing.

Add missing dates to pandas dataframe

An alternative approach is resample, which can handle duplicate dates in addition to missing dates. For example:

df.resample('D').mean()

resample is a deferred operation like groupby so you need to follow it with another operation. In this case mean works well, but you can also use many other pandas methods like max, sum, etc.

Here is the original data, but with an extra entry for '2013-09-03':

             val
date           
2013-09-02     2
2013-09-03    10
2013-09-03    20    <- duplicate date added to OP's data
2013-09-06     5
2013-09-07     1

And here are the results:

             val
date            
2013-09-02   2.0
2013-09-03  15.0    <- mean of original values for 2013-09-03
2013-09-04   NaN    <- NaN b/c date not present in orig
2013-09-05   NaN    <- NaN b/c date not present in orig
2013-09-06   5.0
2013-09-07   1.0

I left the missing dates as NaNs to make it clear how this works, but you can add fillna(0) to replace NaNs with zeroes as requested by the OP or alternatively use something like interpolate() to fill with non-zero values based on the neighboring rows.

The difference between sys.stdout.write and print?

In Python 2, if you need to pass around a function, then you can assign os.sys.stdout.write to a variable. You cannot do this (in the REPL) with print.

>import os
>>> cmd=os.sys.stdout.write
>>> cmd('hello')
hello>>>

That works as expected.

>>> cmd=print
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    cmd=print
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

That does not work. print is a magical function.

sql try/catch rollback/commit - preventing erroneous commit after rollback

I always thought this was one of the better articles on the subject. It includes the following example that I think makes it clear and includes the frequently overlooked @@trancount which is needed for reliable nested transactions

PRINT 'BEFORE TRY'
BEGIN TRY
    BEGIN TRAN
     PRINT 'First Statement in the TRY block'
     INSERT INTO dbo.Account(AccountId, Name , Balance) VALUES(1, 'Account1',  10000)
     UPDATE dbo.Account SET Balance = Balance + CAST('TEN THOUSAND' AS MONEY) WHERE AccountId = 1
     INSERT INTO dbo.Account(AccountId, Name , Balance) VALUES(2, 'Account2',  20000)
     PRINT 'Last Statement in the TRY block'
    COMMIT TRAN
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
    PRINT 'In CATCH Block'
    IF(@@TRANCOUNT > 0)
        ROLLBACK TRAN;

    THROW; -- raise error to the client
END CATCH
PRINT 'After END CATCH'
SELECT * FROM dbo.Account WITH(NOLOCK)
GO

Does file_get_contents() have a timeout setting?

For prototyping, using curl from the shell with the -m parameter allow to pass milliseconds, and will work in both cases, either the connection didn't initiate, error 404, 500, bad url, or the whole data wasn't retrieved in full in the allowed time range, the timeout is always effective. Php won't ever hang out.

Simply don't pass unsanitized user data in the shell call.

system("curl -m 50 -X GET 'https://api.kraken.com/0/public/OHLC?pair=LTCUSDT&interval=60' -H  'accept: application/json' > data.json");
// This data had been refreshed in less than 50ms
var_dump(json_decode(file_get_contents("data.json"),true));

Git: How to update/checkout a single file from remote origin master?

What you can do is:

  1. Update your local git repo:

    git fetch

  2. Build a local branch and checkout on it:

    git branch pouet && git checkout pouet

  3. Apply the commit you want on this branch:

    git cherry-pick abcdefabcdef

    (abcdefabcdef is the sha1 of the commit you want to apply)

How to display a list inline using Twitter's Bootstrap

I couldn't find anything specific within the bootstrap.css file. So, I added the css to a custom css file.

.inline li {
    display: inline;
}

How to parse XML and count instances of a particular node attribute?

I suggest ElementTree. There are other compatible implementations of the same API, such as lxml, and cElementTree in the Python standard library itself; but, in this context, what they chiefly add is even more speed -- the ease of programming part depends on the API, which ElementTree defines.

First build an Element instance root from the XML, e.g. with the XML function, or by parsing a file with something like:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
root = ET.parse('thefile.xml').getroot()

Or any of the many other ways shown at ElementTree. Then do something like:

for type_tag in root.findall('bar/type'):
    value = type_tag.get('foobar')
    print(value)

And similar, usually pretty simple, code patterns.

HTTP Range header

For folks who are stumbling across Victor Stoddard's answer above in 2019, and become hopeful and doe eyed, note that:

a) Support for X-Content-Duration was removed in Firefox 41: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/41#HTTP

b) I think it was only supported in Firefox for .ogg audio and .ogv video, not for any other types.

c) I can't see that it was ever supported at all in Chrome, but that may just be a lack of research on my part. But its presence or absence seems to have no effect one way or another for webm or ogv videos as of today in Chrome 71.

d) I can't find anywhere where 'Content-Duration' replaced 'X-Content-Duration' for anything, I don't think 'X-Content-Duration' lived long enough for there to be a successor header name.

I think this means that, as of today if you want to serve webm or ogv containers that contain streams that don't know their duration (e.g. the output of an ffpeg pipe) to Chrome or FF, and you want them to be scrubbable in an HTML 5 video element, you are probably out of luck. Firefox 64.0 makes a half hearted attempt to make these scrubbable whether or not you serve via range requests, but it gets confused and throws up a spinning wheel until the stream is completely downloaded if you seek a few times more than it thinks is appropriate. Chrome doesn't even try, it just nopes out and won't let you scrub at all until the entire stream is finished playing.

Find if value in column A contains value from column B?

You can use VLOOKUP, but this requires a wrapper function to return True or False. Not to mention it is (relatively) slow. Use COUNTIF or MATCH instead.

Fill down this formula in column K next to the existing values in column I (from I1 to I2691):

=COUNTIF(<entire column E range>,<single column I value>)>0
=COUNTIF($E$1:$E$99504,$I1)>0

You can also use MATCH:

=NOT(ISNA(MATCH(<single column I value>,<entire column E range>)))
=NOT(ISNA(MATCH($I1,$E$1:$E$99504,0)))

How can I turn a string into a list in Python?

The list() function [docs] will convert a string into a list of single-character strings.

>>> list('hello')
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

Even without converting them to lists, strings already behave like lists in several ways. For example, you can access individual characters (as single-character strings) using brackets:

>>> s = "hello"
>>> s[1]
'e'
>>> s[4]
'o'

You can also loop over the characters in the string as you can loop over the elements of a list:

>>> for c in 'hello':
...     print c + c,
... 
hh ee ll ll oo

Applying function with multiple arguments to create a new pandas column

You can go with @greenAfrican example, if it's possible for you to rewrite your function. But if you don't want to rewrite your function, you can wrap it into anonymous function inside apply, like this:

>>> def fxy(x, y):
...     return x * y

>>> df['newcolumn'] = df.apply(lambda x: fxy(x['A'], x['B']), axis=1)
>>> df
    A   B  newcolumn
0  10  20        200
1  20  30        600
2  30  10        300

Error to run Android Studio

I had the same problem on a new installed Linux Mint 16. To fix this you just need to type command

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

And that's it. You even do not need to add repositiries or creating JAVA_HOME in your environment.

Modify tick label text

Caveat: Unless the ticklabels are already set to a string (as is usually the case in e.g. a boxplot), this will not work with any version of matplotlib newer than 1.1.0. If you're working from the current github master, this won't work. I'm not sure what the problem is yet... It may be an unintended change, or it may not be...

Normally, you'd do something along these lines:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# We need to draw the canvas, otherwise the labels won't be positioned and 
# won't have values yet.
fig.canvas.draw()

labels = [item.get_text() for item in ax.get_xticklabels()]
labels[1] = 'Testing'

ax.set_xticklabels(labels)

plt.show()

enter image description here

To understand the reason why you need to jump through so many hoops, you need to understand a bit more about how matplotlib is structured.

Matplotlib deliberately avoids doing "static" positioning of ticks, etc, unless it's explicitly told to. The assumption is that you'll want to interact with the plot, and so the bounds of the plot, ticks, ticklabels, etc will be dynamically changing.

Therefore, you can't just set the text of a given tick label. By default, it's re-set by the axis's Locator and Formatter every time the plot is drawn.

However, if the Locators and Formatters are set to be static (FixedLocator and FixedFormatter, respectively), then the tick labels stay the same.

This is what set_*ticklabels or ax.*axis.set_ticklabels does.

Hopefully that makes it slighly more clear as to why changing an individual tick label is a bit convoluted.

Often, what you actually want to do is just annotate a certain position. In that case, look into annotate, instead.

Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority '*'

This error can occur for lots of reasons, and the last time, I solved it by modifying the Reference.svcmap file, and changing how the WSDL file is referenced.

Throwing exception:

<MetadataSource Address="C:\Users\Me\Repo\Service.wsdl" Protocol="file" SourceId="1" />
<MetadataFile FileName="Service.wsdl" ... SourceUrl="file:///C:/Users/Me/Repo/Service.wsdl" />

Working fine:

<MetadataSource Address="https://server.domain/path/Service.wsdl" Protocol="http" SourceId="1" />
<MetadataFile FileName="Service.wsdl" ... SourceUrl="https://server.domain/path/Service.wsdl" />

This seems weird, but I have reproduced it. This was in a console application on .NET 4.5 and 4.7, as well as a .NET WebAPI site on 4.7.

Darkening an image with CSS (In any shape)

if you want only the background-image to be affected, you can use a linear gradient to do that, just like this:

  background: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, .5), rgba(0, 0, 0, .5)), url(IMAGE_URL);

If you want it darker, make the alpha value higher, else you want it lighter, make alpha lower

Converting from Integer, to BigInteger

The method you want is BigInteger#valueOf(long val).

E.g.,

BigInteger bi = BigInteger.valueOf(myInteger.intValue());

Making a String first is unnecessary and undesired.

Prevent WebView from displaying "web page not available"

override your WebViewClient method

@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode,
    String description, String failingUrl) {
    view.clearView();
}

view.loadUrl('about:blank') has side-effects, as it cancels the original URL loading.

how to get right offset of an element? - jQuery

Actually these only work when the window isn't scrolled at all from the top left position.
You have to subtract the window scroll values to get an offset that's useful for repositioning elements so they stay on the page:

var offset = $('#whatever').offset();

offset.right = ($(window).width() + $(window).scrollLeft()) - (offset.left + $('#whatever').outerWidth(true));
offset.bottom = ($(window).height() + $(window).scrollTop()) - (offset.top + $('#whatever').outerHeight(true));

Converting a String array into an int Array in java

private void processLine(String[] strings) {
    Integer[] intarray=new Integer[strings.length];
    for(int i=0;i<strings.length;i++) {
        intarray[i]=Integer.parseInt(strings[i]);
    }
    for(Integer temp:intarray) {
        System.out.println("convert int array from String"+temp);
    }
}

Just disable scroll not hide it?

All modal/lightbox javascript-based systems use an overflow when displaying the modal/lightbox, on html tag or body tag.

When lightbox is show, the js push a overflow hidden on html or body tag. When lightbox is hidden, some remove the hidden other push a overflow auto on html or body tag.

Developers who work on Mac, do not see the problem of the scrollbar.

Just replace the hidden by an unset not to see the content slipping under the modal of the removal of the scrollbar.

Lightbox open/show:

<html style="overflow: unset;"></html>

Lightbox close/hide:

<html style="overflow: auto;"></html>

Python 3 Float Decimal Points/Precision

Try this:

num = input("Please input your number: ")

num = float("%0.2f" % (num))

print(num)

I believe this is a lot simpler. For 1 decimal place use %0.1f. For 2 decimal places use %0.2f and so on.

Or, if you want to reduce it all to 2 lines:

num = float("%0.2f" % (float(input("Please input your number: "))))
print(num)

Bloomberg Open API

Since the data is not free, you can use this Bloomberg API Emulator (disclaimer: it's my project) to learn how to send requests and make subscriptions. This emulator looks and acts just like the real Bloomberg API, although it doesn't return real data. In my time developing applications that use the Bloomberg API, I rarely care about the actual data that I'm handling; I care about how to retrieve data.

If you want to learn how to use the Bloomberg API give it a try. If you want to test out your code without an account, use this. A Bloomberg account costs about $2,000 a month, so you can save a lot with this project.

The emulator now supports Java and C++ in addition to C#.

C#, C++, and Java:

  • Intraday Tick Requests
  • Intraday Bar Requests
  • Reference Data Requests
  • Historical Data Requests
  • Market Data Subscriptions

Edit: Updated Project link, moved to github

PHP: cannot declare class because the name is already in use

Class Parent cannot be declared because it is PHP reserved keyword so in effect it's already in use

Sending files using POST with HttpURLConnection

based on Mihai's solution, if anyone has the problem of saving images on the server like what happened on my server. change the Bitmap to bytebuffer part to :

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100,bos);
        byte[] pixels = bos.toByteArray();

Populating a data frame in R in a loop

You could do it like this:

 iterations = 10
 variables = 2

 output <- matrix(ncol=variables, nrow=iterations)

 for(i in 1:iterations){
  output[i,] <- runif(2)

 }

 output

and then turn it into a data.frame

 output <- data.frame(output)
 class(output)

what this does:

  1. create a matrix with rows and columns according to the expected growth
  2. insert 2 random numbers into the matrix
  3. convert this into a dataframe after the loop has finished.

Set opacity of background image without affecting child elements

Just to add to the above..you can use the alpha channel with the new color attributes eg. rgba(0,0,0,0) ok so this is black but with zero opacity so as a parent it will not affect the child. This only works on Chrome, FF, Safari and....I thin O.

convert your hex colours to RGBA

Java read file and store text in an array

If you don't know the number of lines in your file, you don't have a size with which to init an array. In this case, it makes more sense to use a List :

List<String> tokens = new ArrayList<String>();
while (inFile1.hasNext()) {
    tokens.add(inFile1.nextLine());
}

After that, if you need to, you can copy to an array :

String[] tokenArray = tokens.toArray(new String[0]);

Forcing to download a file using PHP

If you are doing it with your application itself... I hope this code helps.

HTML

In href -- you have to add download_file.php along with your URL:

<a class="download" href="'/download_file.php?fileSource='+http://www.google.com/logo_small.png" target="_blank" title="YourTitle">

PHP

/* Here is the Download.php file to force download stuff */

<?php
    $fullPath = $_GET['fileSource'];
    if($fullPath) {
        $fsize = filesize($fullPath);
        $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
        $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);

        switch ($ext) {
            case "pdf":
                header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $path_parts["basename"]."\""); // Use 'attachment' to force a download
                header("Content-type: application/pdf"); // Add here more headers for diff. extensions
                break;

            default;
                header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
                header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"" . $path_parts["basename"]."\"");
        }

        if($fsize) { // Checking if file size exist
            header("Content-length: $fsize");
        }
        readfile($fullPath);
        exit;
    }
?>

ASP.NET Identity DbContext confusion

There is a lot of confusion about IdentityDbContext, a quick search in Stackoverflow and you'll find these questions:
" Why is Asp.Net Identity IdentityDbContext a Black-Box?
How can I change the table names when using Visual Studio 2013 AspNet Identity?

            b.ToTable("AspNetRoleClaims");
        });

        builder.Entity<TUserRole>(b => 
        {
            b.HasKey(r => new { r.UserId, r.RoleId });
            b.ToTable("AspNetUserRoles");
        });

        builder.Entity<TUserLogin>(b =>
        {
            b.HasKey(l => new { l.LoginProvider, l.ProviderKey });
            b.ToTable("AspNetUserLogins");
        });

        builder.Entity<TUserToken>(b => 
        {
            b.HasKey(l => new { l.UserId, l.LoginProvider, l.Name });
            b.ToTable("AspNetUserTokens");
        });
    }

Based on the source code if we want to merge IdentityDbContext with our DbContext we have two options:

First Option:
Create a DbContext which inherits from IdentityDbContext and have access to the classes.

   public class ApplicationDbContext 
    : IdentityDbContext
{
    public ApplicationDbContext()
        : base("DefaultConnection")
    {
    }

    static ApplicationDbContext()
    {
        Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationDbContext>(new ApplicationDbInitializer());
    }

    public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
    {
        return new ApplicationDbContext();
    }

    // Add additional items here as needed
}


Extra Notes:

1) We can also change asp.net Identity default table names with the following solution:

    public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext
    {    
        public ApplicationDbContext(): base("DefaultConnection")
        {
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(System.Data.Entity.DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUser>().ToTable("user");
            modelBuilder.Entity<ApplicationUser>().ToTable("user");

            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityRole>().ToTable("role");
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserRole>().ToTable("userrole");
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserClaim>().ToTable("userclaim");
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserLogin>().ToTable("userlogin");
        }
    }

2) Furthermore we can extend each class and add any property to classes like 'IdentityUser', 'IdentityRole', ...

    public class ApplicationRole : IdentityRole<string, ApplicationUserRole>
{
    public ApplicationRole() 
    {
        this.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
    }

    public ApplicationRole(string name)
        : this()
    {
        this.Name = name;
    }

    // Add any custom Role properties/code here
}


// Must be expressed in terms of our custom types:
public class ApplicationDbContext 
    : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, 
    string, ApplicationUserLogin, ApplicationUserRole, ApplicationUserClaim>
{
    public ApplicationDbContext()
        : base("DefaultConnection")
    {
    }

    static ApplicationDbContext()
    {
        Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationDbContext>(new ApplicationDbInitializer());
    }

    public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
    {
        return new ApplicationDbContext();
    }

    // Add additional items here as needed
}

To save time we can use AspNet Identity 2.0 Extensible Project Template to extend all the classes.

Second Option:(Not recommended)
We actually don't have to inherit from IdentityDbContext if we write all the code ourselves.
So basically we can just inherit from DbContext and implement our customized version of "OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)" from the IdentityDbContext source code

ASP.NET Bundles how to disable minification

To disable bundling and minification just put this your .aspx file (this will disable optimization even if debug=true in web.config)

vb.net:

System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false

c#.net

System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;

If you put EnableOptimizations = true this will bundle and minify even if debug=true in web.config

Swift Beta performance: sorting arrays

The main issue that is mentioned by others but not called out enough is that -O3 does nothing at all in Swift (and never has) so when compiled with that it is effectively non-optimised (-Onone).

Option names have changed over time so some other answers have obsolete flags for the build options. Correct current options (Swift 2.2) are:

-Onone // Debug - slow
-O     // Optimised
-O -whole-module-optimization //Optimised across files

Whole module optimisation has a slower compile but can optimise across files within the module i.e. within each framework and within the actual application code but not between them. You should use this for anything performance critical)

You can also disable safety checks for even more speed but with all assertions and preconditions not just disabled but optimised on the basis that they are correct. If you ever hit an assertion this means that you are into undefined behaviour. Use with extreme caution and only if you determine that the speed boost is worthwhile for you (by testing). If you do find it valuable for some code I recommend separating that code into a separate framework and only disabling the safety checks for that module.

How to save an image to localStorage and display it on the next page?

To whoever also needs this problem solved:

Firstly, I grab my image with getElementByID, and save the image as a Base64. Then I save the Base64 string as my localStorage value.

bannerImage = document.getElementById('bannerImg');
imgData = getBase64Image(bannerImage);
localStorage.setItem("imgData", imgData);

Here is the function that converts the image to a Base64 string:

function getBase64Image(img) {
    var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    canvas.width = img.width;
    canvas.height = img.height;

    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);

    var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");

    return dataURL.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");
}

Then, on my next page I created an image with a blank src like so:

<img src="" id="tableBanner" />

And straight when the page loads, I use these next three lines to get the Base64 string from localStorage, and apply it to the image with the blank src I created:

var dataImage = localStorage.getItem('imgData');
bannerImg = document.getElementById('tableBanner');
bannerImg.src = "data:image/png;base64," + dataImage;

Tested it in quite a few different browsers and versions, and it seems to work quite well.

Remove elements from collection while iterating

Are there any reasons to prefer one approach over the other

The first approach will work, but has the obvious overhead of copying the list.

The second approach will not work because many containers don't permit modification during iteration. This includes ArrayList.

If the only modification is to remove the current element, you can make the second approach work by using itr.remove() (that is, use the iterator's remove() method, not the container's). This would be my preferred method for iterators that support remove().

c# Best Method to create a log file

I'm using thread safe static class. Main idea is to queue the message on list and then save to log file each period of time, or each counter limit.

Important: You should force save file ( DirectLog.SaveToFile(); ) when you exit the program. (in case that there are still some items on the list)

The use is very simple: DirectLog.Log("MyLogMessage", 5);

This is my code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Mendi
{

    /// <summary>
    /// class used for logging misc information to log file
    /// written by Mendi Barel
    /// </summary>
    static class DirectLog
    {
        readonly static int SAVE_PERIOD = 10 * 1000;// period=10 seconds
        readonly static int SAVE_COUNTER = 1000;// save after 1000 messages
        readonly static int MIN_IMPORTANCE = 0;// log only messages with importance value >=MIN_IMPORTANCE

        readonly static string DIR_LOG_FILES = @"z:\MyFolder\";

        static string _filename = DIR_LOG_FILES + @"Log." + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyMMdd.HHmm") + @".txt";

        readonly static List<string> _list_log = new List<string>();
        readonly static object _locker = new object();
        static int _counter = 0;
        static DateTime _last_save = DateTime.Now;

        public static void NewFile()
        {//new file is created because filename changed
            SaveToFile();
            lock (_locker)
            {

                _filename = DIR_LOG_FILES + @"Log." + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyMMdd.HHmm") + @".txt";
                _counter = 0;
            }
        }
        public static void Log(string LogMessage, int Importance)
        {
            if (Importance < MIN_IMPORTANCE) return;
            lock (_locker)
            {
                _list_log.Add(String.Format("{0:HH:mm:ss.ffff},{1},{2}", DateTime.Now, LogMessage, Importance));
                _counter++;
            }
            TimeSpan timeDiff = DateTime.Now - _last_save;

            if (_counter > SAVE_COUNTER || timeDiff.TotalMilliseconds > SAVE_PERIOD)
                SaveToFile();
        }

        public static void SaveToFile()
        {
            lock (_locker)
                if (_list_log.Count == 0)
                {
                    _last_save = _last_save = DateTime.Now;
                    return;
                }
            lock (_locker)
            {
                using (StreamWriter logfile = File.AppendText(_filename))
                {

                    foreach (string s in _list_log) logfile.WriteLine(s);
                    logfile.Flush();
                    logfile.Close();
                }

                _list_log.Clear();
                _counter = 0;
                _last_save = DateTime.Now;
            }
        }


        public static void ReadLog(string logfile)
        {
            using (StreamReader r = File.OpenText(logfile))
            {
                string line;
                while ((line = r.ReadLine()) != null)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(line);
                }
                r.Close();
            }
        }
    }

How to escape single quotes in MySQL

' is the escape character. So your string should be:

This is Ashok''s Pen

If you are using some front-end code, you need to do a string replace before sending the data to the stored procedure.

For example, in C# you can do

value = value.Replace("'", "''");

and then pass value to the stored procedure.

What are the safe characters for making URLs?

The format for an URI is defined in RFC 3986. See section 3.3 for details.

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

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

Do what the error message says:

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

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

  • PostgreSQL isn't running

  • PostgreSQL isn't listening for TCP/IP connections (listen_addresses in postgresql.conf)

  • PostgreSQL is only listening on IPv4 (0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1) and you're connecting on IPv6 (::1) or vice versa. This seems to be an issue on some older Mac OS X versions that have weird IPv6 socket behaviour, and on some older Windows versions.

  • PostgreSQL is listening on a different port to the one you're connecting on

  • (unlikely) there's an iptables rule blocking loopback connections

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

So ... check those:

  • ps -f -u postgres should list postgres processes

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

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

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

String to list in Python

Here the simples

a = [x for x in 'abcdefgh'] #['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h']

Run a .bat file using python code

  1. It is better to write .bat file in such way that its running is not dependent on current working directory, i.e. I recommend to put this line at the beginning of .bat file:

    cd "%~dp0"
    
  2. Enclose filepath of .bat file in double quotes, i.e.:

    os.system('"D:\\x\\so here can be spaces\\otr.bat" ["<arg0>" ["<arg1>" ...]]')
    
  3. To save output of some batch command in another file you can use usual redirection syntax, for example:

    os.system('"...bat" > outputfilename.txt')
    

    Or directly in your .bat file:

    Application.exe work.xml > outputfilename.txt

Git: Cannot see new remote branch

Doing a git remote update will also update the list of branches available from the remote repository.

If you are using TortoiseGit, as of version 1.8.3.0, you can do "Git -> Sync" and there will be a "Remote Update" button in the lower left of the window that appears. Click that. Then you should be able to do "Git -> Switch/Checkout" and have the new remote branch appear in the dropdown of branches you can select.

How to remove duplicate objects in a List<MyObject> without equals/hashcode?

We can also use Comparator to check duplicate elements. Sample code is given below,

private boolean checkDuplicate(List studentDTOs){

    Comparator<StudentDTO > studentCmp = ( obj1,  obj2)
            ->{
        if(obj1.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(obj2.getName())
                && obj1.getAddress().equalsIgnoreCase(obj2.getAddress())
                && obj1.getDateOfBrith().equals(obj2.getDateOfBrith())) {
            return 0;
        }
        return 1;
    };
    Set<StudentDTO> setObj = new TreeSet<>(studentCmp);
    setObj.addAll(studentDTOs);
    return setObj.size()==studentDTOs.size();
}

node: command not found

The problem is that your PATH does not include the location of the node executable.

You can likely run node as "/usr/local/bin/node".

You can add that location to your path by running the following command to add a single line to your bashrc file:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc

How to insert a text at the beginning of a file?

Use subshell:

echo "$(echo -n 'hello'; cat filename)" > filename

Unfortunately, command substitution will remove newlines at the end of file. So as to keep them one can use:

echo -n "hello" | cat - filename > /tmp/filename.tmp
mv /tmp/filename.tmp filename

Neither grouping nor command substitution is needed.

GCD to perform task in main thread

As the other answers mentioned, dispatch_async from the main thread is fine.

However, depending on your use case, there is a side effect that you may consider a disadvantage: since the block is scheduled on a queue, it won't execute until control goes back to the run loop, which will have the effect of delaying your block's execution.

For example,

NSLog(@"before dispatch async");
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    NSLog(@"inside dispatch async block main thread from main thread");
});
NSLog(@"after dispatch async");

Will print out:

before dispatch async
after dispatch async
inside dispatch async block main thread from main thread

For this reason, if you were expecting the block to execute in-between the outer NSLog's, dispatch_async would not help you.

Bootstrap 3 Gutter Size

I've been stuck with this problem, my solution was creating a mixin which allows me to specify in SCSS, the actual gutter size I want ...

Solution: 1)

@mixin add-gutter($size) {
    margin-right: -$size;
    margin-left: -$size;

    > [class*="col-"] {
        padding-right: $size;
        padding-left: $size;
    }
}



.that-special-row{
    @include add-gutter(7px);
}

And to use it...

<div class="row that-special-row"></div>

The actual solution came about from this issue mentionned on github, which I believe addresses the same problem.

Solution: 2)

Another solution, would be simply to create your custom CSS class

.small-gutters {
    margin-right: -10px;
    margin-left: -10px;
    > [class*="col-"] {
      padding-right: 10px;
      padding-left: 10px;
    }
  }

Hope that helps!

Vba macro to copy row from table if value in table meets condition

you are describing a Problem, which I would try to solve with the VLOOKUP function rather than using VBA.

You should always consider a non-vba solution first.

Here are some application examples of VLOOKUP (or SVERWEIS in German, as i know it):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCLUM0UMLXo

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/vlookup-HP005209335.aspx


If you have to make it as a macro, you could use VLOOKUP as an application function - a quick solution with slow performance - or you will have to make a simillar function yourself.

If it has to be the latter, then there is need for more details on your specification, regarding performance questions.

You could copy any range to an array, loop through this array and check for your value, then copy this value to any other range. This is how i would solve this as a vba-function.

This would look something like that:

Public Sub CopyFilter()

  Dim wks As Worksheet
  Dim avarTemp() As Variant
  'go through each worksheet
  For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        avarTemp = wks.UsedRange
        For i = LBound(avarTemp, 1) To UBound(avarTemp, 1)
          'check in the first column in each row
          If avarTemp(i, LBound(avarTemp, 2)) = "XYZ" Then
            'copy cell
             targetWks.Cells(1, 1) = avarTemp(i, LBound(avarTemp, 2))
          End If
        Next i
  Next wks
End Sub

Ok, now i have something nice which could come in handy for myself:

Public Function FILTER(ByRef rng As Range, ByRef lngIndex As Long) As Variant
  Dim avarTemp() As Variant
  Dim avarResult() As Variant
  Dim i As Long
  avarTemp = rng

  ReDim avarResult(0)

  For i = LBound(avarTemp, 1) To UBound(avarTemp, 1)
      If avarTemp(i, 1) = "active" Then
        avarResult(UBound(avarResult)) = avarTemp(i, lngIndex)
        'expand our result array
        ReDim Preserve avarResult(UBound(avarResult) + 1)
      End If
  Next i

  FILTER = avarResult
End Function

You can use it in your Worksheet like this =FILTER(Tabelle1!A:C;2) or with =INDEX(FILTER(Tabelle1!A:C;2);3) to specify the result row. I am sure someone could extend this to include the index functionality into FILTER or knows how to return a range like object - maybe I could too, but not today ;)

I ran into this problem that cost me a little time, then remembered that git won't store empty folders. Remember that if you have a folder tree you want stored, put a file in at least the deepest folder of that tree, something like a file called ".gitkeep", just to affect storage by git.

Input from the keyboard in command line application

Swift 5 : If you continuously want input from keyboard , without ending the program, like a stream of input, Use below steps:

  1. Create new project of type comnnad line tool Command line project

    1. Add below code in main.swift file:

      var inputArray = [String]()
      
      while let input = readLine() {
      
      guard input != "quit" else {

How to parse JSON and access results

Try:

$result = curl_exec($cURL);
$result = json_decode($result,true);

Now you can access MessageID from $result['MessageID'].

INSERT INTO `tableName`(`Cancelled`,`Queued`,`SMSError`,`SMSIncommingMessage`,`Sent`,`SentDateTime`) VALUES('?','?','?','?','?');

Prepared.

On a computer (not tablet or phone) sign into your Google Wallet, click Payment Methods then edit to edit info. Hope it works for you too!

iOS for VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a virtualizer, not an emulator. (The name kinda gives it away.) I.e. it can only virtualize a CPU that is actually there, not emulate one that isn't. In particular, VirtualBox can only virtualize x86 and AMD64 CPUs. iOS only runs on ARM CPUs.

Difference between framework vs Library vs IDE vs API vs SDK vs Toolkits?

SDK represents to software development kit, and IDE represents to integrated development environment. The IDE is the software or the program is used to write, compile, run, and debug such as Xcode. The SDK is the underlying engine of the IDE, includes all the platform's libraries an app needs to access. It's more basic than an IDE because it doesn't usually have graphical tools.
