Programs & Examples On #Mapkit

MapKit is Apple's framework for presenting and annotating scrollable and zoom-enabled maps on iOS and OS X.

Setting the zoom level for a MKMapView

Swift:

Map.setRegion(MKCoordinateRegion(center: locValue, latitudinalMeters: 200, longitudinalMeters: 200), animated: true)

locValue is your coordinate.

How to pass prepareForSegue: an object

In Swift 4.2 I would do something like that:

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    if let yourVC = segue.destination as? YourViewController {
        yourVC.yourData = self.someData
    }
}

How can I mimic the bottom sheet from the Maps app?

Maybe you can try my answer https://github.com/AnYuan/AYPannel, inspired by Pulley. Smooth transition from moving the drawer to scrolling the list. I added a pan gesture on the container scroll view, and set shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer to return YES. More detail in my github link above. Wish to help.

Authentication issue when debugging in VS2013 - iis express

VS 2015 changes this. It added a .vs folder to my web project and the applicationhost.config was in there. I made the changes suggested (window authentication = true, anon=false) and it started delivering a username instead of a blank.

How to stretch children to fill cross-axis?

  • The children of a row-flexbox container automatically fill the container's vertical space.

  • Specify flex: 1; for a child if you want it to fill the remaining horizontal space:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.wrapper {_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  flex-direction: row;_x000D_
  align-items: stretch;_x000D_
  width: 100%;_x000D_
  height: 5em;_x000D_
  background: #ccc;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.wrapper > .left_x000D_
{_x000D_
  background: #fcc;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.wrapper > .right_x000D_
{_x000D_
  background: #ccf;_x000D_
  flex: 1; _x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="wrapper">_x000D_
  <div class="left">Left</div>_x000D_
  <div class="right">Right</div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

  • Specify flex: 1; for both children if you want them to fill equal amounts of the horizontal space:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.wrapper {_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  flex-direction: row;_x000D_
  align-items: stretch;_x000D_
  width: 100%;_x000D_
  height: 5em;_x000D_
  background: #ccc;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.wrapper > div _x000D_
{_x000D_
  flex: 1; _x000D_

Print the address or pointer for value in C

What you have is correct. Of course, you'll see that emp1 and item1 have the same pointer value.

How to delete an array element based on key?

this looks like PHP to me. I'll delete if it's some other language.

Simply unset($arr[1]);

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method

I was getting similar exception but at class level

e.g. Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access class ....

I fixed this by making my class public.

%i or %d to print integer in C using printf()?

They are completely equivalent when used with printf(). Personally, I prefer %d, it's used more often (should I say "it's the idiomatic conversion specifier for int"?).

(One difference between %i and %d is that when used with scanf(), then %d always expects a decimal integer, whereas %i recognizes the 0 and 0x prefixes as octal and hexadecimal, but no sane programmer uses scanf() anyway so this should not be a concern.)

Merging two arrayLists into a new arrayList, with no duplicates and in order, in Java

your nested for loop

 for(int j = 0; j < array2.size(); i++){

is infinite as j will always equal to zero, on the other hand, i will be increased at will in this loop. You get OutOfBoundaryException when i is larger than plusArray.size()

Multiple aggregate functions in HAVING clause

Something like this?

HAVING COUNT(caseID) > 2
AND COUNT(caseID) < 4

ASP.NET MVC 3 - redirect to another action

You will need to return the result of RedirectToAction.

Failed to allocate memory: 8

I have 16 GB and a 3.4 Ghz quad core proc in my machine. The virtual machine won't let me run it at 1024 either. I did bump it up to 878MB because it failed at 880 with the same message. This seems to be the most ram I can allocate to the emulator. It is still slow but I'm assuming it is better than 512MB.

react button onClick redirect page

useHistory() from react-router-dom can fix your problem

import React from 'react';
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
function NavigationDemo() {
  const history = useHistory();
  const navigateTo = () => history.push('/componentURL');//eg.history.push('/login');

  return (
   <div>
   <button onClick={navigateTo} type="button" />
   </div>
  );
}
export default NavigationDemo;

change text of button and disable button in iOS

To Change Button title:

[mybtn setTitle:@"My Button" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[mybtn setTitleColor:[UIColor blueColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

For Disable:

[mybtn setEnabled:NO];

How do I solve the "server DNS address could not be found" error on Windows 10?

Steps to manually configure DNS:

  1. You can access Network and Sharing center by right clicking on the Network icon on the taskbar.

  2. Now choose adapter settings from the side menu.

  3. This will give you a list of the available network adapters in the system . From them right click on the adapter you are using to connect to the internet now and choose properties option.

  4. In the networking tab choose ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’.

  5. Now you can see the properties dialogue box showing the properties of IPV4. Here you need to change some properties.

    Select ‘use the following DNS address’ option. Now fill the following fields as given here.

    Preferred DNS server: 208.67.222.222

    Alternate DNS server : 208.67.220.220

    This is an available Open DNS address. You may also use google DNS server addresses.

    After filling these fields. Check the ‘validate settings upon exit’ option. Now click OK.

You have to add this DNS server address in the router configuration also (by referring the router manual for more information).

Refer : for above method & alternative

If none of this works, then open command prompt(Run as Administrator) and run these:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
NETSH winsock reset catalog
NETSH int ipv4 reset reset.log
NETSH int ipv6 reset reset.log
Exit

Hopefully that fixes it, if its still not fixed there is a chance that its a NIC related issue(driver update or h/w).

Also FYI, this has a thread on Microsoft community : Windows 10 - DNS Issue

What do the makefile symbols $@ and $< mean?

The Makefile builds the hello executable if any one of main.cpp, hello.cpp, factorial.cpp changed. The smallest possible Makefile to achieve that specification could have been:

hello: main.cpp hello.cpp factorial.cpp
    g++ -o hello main.cpp hello.cpp factorial.cpp
  • pro: very easy to read
  • con: maintenance nightmare, duplication of the C++ dependencies
  • con: efficiency problem, we recompile all C++ even if only one was changed

To improve on the above, we only compile those C++ files that were edited. Then, we just link the resultant object files together.

OBJECTS=main.o hello.o factorial.o

hello: $(OBJECTS)
    g++ -o hello $(OBJECTS)

main.o: main.cpp
    g++ -c main.cpp

hello.o: hello.cpp
    g++ -c hello.cpp

factorial.o: factorial.cpp
    g++ -c factorial.cpp
  • pro: fixes efficiency issue
  • con: new maintenance nightmare, potential typo on object files rules

To improve on this, we can replace all object file rules with a single .cpp.o rule:

OBJECTS=main.o hello.o factorial.o

hello: $(OBJECTS)
    g++ -o hello $(OBJECTS)

.cpp.o:
    g++ -c $< -o $@
  • pro: back to having a short makefile, somewhat easy to read

Here the .cpp.o rule defines how to build anyfile.o from anyfile.cpp.

  • $< matches to first dependency, in this case, anyfile.cpp
  • $@ matches the target, in this case, anyfile.o.

The other changes present in the Makefile are:

  • Making it easier to changes compilers from g++ to any C++ compiler.
  • Making it easier to change the compiler options.
  • Making it easier to change the linker options.
  • Making it easier to change the C++ source files and output.
  • Added a default rule 'all' which acts as a quick check to ensure all your source files are present before an attempt to build your application is made.

How to transition to a new view controller with code only using Swift

This worked perfectly for me:

func switchScreen() {
    let mainStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: Bundle.main)
    if let viewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "yourVcName") as? UIViewController {
        self.present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

How to store custom objects in NSUserDefaults

Synchronize the data/object that you have saved into NSUserDefaults

-(void)saveCustomObject:(Player *)object
{ 
    NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    NSData *myEncodedObject = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:object];
    [prefs setObject:myEncodedObject forKey:@"testing"];
    [prefs synchronize];
}

Hope this will help you. Thanks

Best Practice: Initialize JUnit class fields in setUp() or at declaration?

I started digging myself and I found one potential advantage of using setUp(). If any exceptions are thrown during the execution of setUp(), JUnit will print a very helpful stack trace. On the other hand, if an exception is thrown during object construction, the error message simply says JUnit was unable to instantiate the test case and you don't see the line number where the failure occurred, probably because JUnit uses reflection to instantiate the test classes.

None of this applies to the example of creating an empty collection, since that will never throw, but it is an advantage of the setUp() method.

JavaScript check if variable exists (is defined/initialized)

In ReactJS, things are a bit more complicated! This is because it is a compiled environment, which follows ESLint's no-undef rule since [email protected] (released Oct. 1st, 2018). The documentation here is helpful to anyone interested in this problem...

In JavaScript, prior to ES6, variable and function declarations are hoisted to the top of a scope, so it's possible to use identifiers before their formal declarations in code....

This [new] rule [of ES6] will warn when it encounters a reference to an identifier that has not yet been declared.

So, while it's possible to have an undefined (or "uninitialized") variable, it is not possible to have an undeclared variable in ReactJS without turning off the eslint rules.

This can be very frustrating -- there are so many projects on GitHub that simply take advantage of the pre-ES6 standards; and directly compiling these without any adjustments is basically impossible.

But, for ReactJS, you can use eval(). If you have an undeclared variable like...

if(undeclaredvar) {...}

You can simply rewrite this part as...

if(eval('typeof undeclaredvar !== "undefined"')) {...}

For instance...

_x000D_
_x000D_
if(eval("false")) {
  console.log("NO!");
}
if(eval("true")) {
  console.log("YEAH!");
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

For those importing GitHub repositories into a ReactJS project, this is simply the only way to check if a variable is declared. Before closing, I'd like to remind you that there are security issues with eval() if use incorrectly.

adding multiple event listeners to one element

For large numbers of events this might help:

var element = document.getElementById("myId");
var myEvents = "click touchstart touchend".split(" ");
var handler = function (e) {
    do something
};

for (var i=0, len = myEvents.length; i < len; i++) {
    element.addEventListener(myEvents[i], handler, false);
}

Update 06/2017:

Now that new language features are more widely available you could simplify adding a limited list of events that share one listener.

const element = document.querySelector("#myId");

function handleEvent(e) {
    // do something
}
// I prefer string.split because it makes editing the event list slightly easier

"click touchstart touchend touchmove".split(" ")
    .map(name => element.addEventListener(name, handleEvent, false));

If you want to handle lots of events and have different requirements per listener you can also pass an object which most people tend to forget.

const el = document.querySelector("#myId");

const eventHandler = {
    // called for each event on this element
    handleEvent(evt) {
        switch (evt.type) {
            case "click":
            case "touchstart":
                // click and touchstart share click handler
                this.handleClick(e);
                break;
            case "touchend":
                this.handleTouchend(e);
                break;
            default:
                this.handleDefault(e);
        }
    },
    handleClick(e) {
        // do something
    },
    handleTouchend(e) {
        // do something different
    },
    handleDefault(e) {
        console.log("unhandled event: %s", e.type);
    }
}

el.addEventListener(eventHandler);

Update 05/2019:

const el = document.querySelector("#myId");

const eventHandler = {
    handlers: {
        click(e) {
            // do something
        },
        touchend(e) {
            // do something different
        },
        default(e) {
            console.log("unhandled event: %s", e.type);
        }
    },
    // called for each event on this element
    handleEvent(evt) {
        switch (evt.type) {
            case "click":
            case "touchstart":
                // click and touchstart share click handler
                this.handlers.click(e);
                break;
            case "touchend":
                this.handlers.touchend(e);
                break;
            default:
                this.handlers.default(e);
        }
    }
}

Object.keys(eventHandler.handlers)
    .map(eventName => el.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler))

Printing all properties in a Javascript Object

Your syntax is incorrect. The var keyword in your for loop must be followed by a variable name, in this case its propName

var propValue;
for(var propName in nyc) {
    propValue = nyc[propName]

    console.log(propName,propValue);
}

I suggest you have a look here for some basics:

Hibernate: get entity by id

In getUserById you shouldn't create a new object (user1) which isn't used. Just assign it to the already (but null) initialized user. Otherwise Hibernate.initialize(user); is actually Hibernate.initialize(null);

Here's the new getUserById (I haven't tested this ;)):

public User getUserById(Long user_id) {
    Session session = null;
    Object user = null;
    try {
        session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
        user = (User)session.load(User.class, user_id);
        Hibernate.initialize(user);
    } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (session != null && session.isOpen()) {
            session.close();
        }
    }
    return user;
}

How to use Apple's new San Francisco font on a webpage

Basically, this is what worked for me:

-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif 

P.S. This works on all systems.

Adding a new array element to a JSON object

For example here is a element like button for adding item to basket and appropriate attributes for saving in localStorage.

'<a href="#" cartBtn pr_id='+e.id+' pr_name_en="'+e.nameEn+'" pr_price="'+e.price+'" pr_image="'+e.image+'" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i>Add to cart</a>'

var productArray=[];


$(document).on('click','[cartBtn]',function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $(this).html('<i class="fa fa-check"></i>Added to cart');
  console.log('Item added ');
  var productJSON={"id":$(this).attr('pr_id'), "nameEn":$(this).attr('pr_name_en'), "price":$(this).attr('pr_price'), "image":$(this).attr('pr_image')};


  if(localStorage.getObj('product')!==null){
    productArray=localStorage.getObj('product');
    productArray.push(productJSON);  
    localStorage.setObj('product', productArray);  
  }
  else{
    productArray.push(productJSON);  
    localStorage.setObj('product', productArray);  
  }


});

Storage.prototype.setObj = function(key, value) {
    this.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value));
}

Storage.prototype.getObj = function(key) {
    var value = this.getItem(key);
    return value && JSON.parse(value);
}

After adding JSON object to Array result is (in LocalStorage):

[{"id":"99","nameEn":"Product Name1","price":"767","image":"1462012597217.jpeg"},{"id":"93","nameEn":"Product Name2","price":"76","image":"1461449637106.jpeg"},{"id":"94","nameEn":"Product Name3","price":"87","image":"1461449679506.jpeg"}]

after this action you can easily send data to server as List in Java

How do I use LINQ Contains(string[]) instead of Contains(string)

Or if you already have the data in a list and prefer the other Linq format :)

List<string> uids = new List<string>(){"1", "45", "20", "10"};
List<user> table = GetDataFromSomewhere();

List<user> newTable = table.Where(xx => uids.Contains(xx.uid)).ToList();

Color different parts of a RichTextBox string

Using Selection in WPF, aggregating from several other answers, no other code is required (except Severity enum and GetSeverityColor function)

 public void Log(string msg, Severity severity = Severity.Info)
    {
        string ts = "[" + DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss") + "] ";
        string msg2 = ts + msg + "\n";
        richTextBox.AppendText(msg2);

        if (severity > Severity.Info)
        {
            int nlcount = msg2.ToCharArray().Count(a => a == '\n');
            int len = msg2.Length + 3 * (nlcount)+2; //newlines are longer, this formula works fine
            TextPointer myTextPointer1 = richTextBox.Document.ContentEnd.GetPositionAtOffset(-len);
            TextPointer myTextPointer2 = richTextBox.Document.ContentEnd.GetPositionAtOffset(-1);

            richTextBox.Selection.Select(myTextPointer1,myTextPointer2);
            SolidColorBrush scb = new SolidColorBrush(GetSeverityColor(severity));
            richTextBox.Selection.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, scb);

        }

        richTextBox.ScrollToEnd();
    }

Get dates from a week number in T-SQL

You can set @WeekNum and @YearNum to whatever you want - in this example they are derived from the @datecol variable, which is set to GETDATE() for purposes of illustration. Once you have those values- you can calculate the date range for a week by using the following:

DECLARE @datecol datetime = GETDATE();
DECLARE @WeekNum INT
      , @YearNum char(4);

SELECT @WeekNum = DATEPART(WK, @datecol)
     , @YearNum = CAST(DATEPART(YY, @datecol) AS CHAR(4));

-- once you have the @WeekNum and @YearNum set, the following calculates the date range.
SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk, 6, '1/1/' + @YearNum) + (@WeekNum-1), 6) AS StartOfWeek;
SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk, 5, '1/1/' + @YearNum) + (@WeekNum-1), 5) AS EndOfWeek;

Trim specific character from a string

A regex-less version which is easy on the eye:

const trim = (str, chars) => str.split(chars).filter(Boolean).join(chars);

For use cases where we're certain that there's no repetition of the chars off the edges.

DLL References in Visual C++

The additional include directories are relative to the project dir. This is normally the dir where your project file, *.vcproj, is located. I guess that in your case you have to add just "include" to your include and library directories.

If you want to be sure what your project dir is, you can check the value of the $(ProjectDir) macro. To do that go to "C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories", press the "..." button and in the pop-up dialog press "Macros>>".

Cannot use special principal dbo: Error 15405

This answer doesn't help for SQL databases where SharePoint is connected. db_securityadmin is required for the configuration databases. In order to add db_securityadmin, you will need to change the owner of the database to an administrative account. You can use that account just for dbo roles.

Build a simple HTTP server in C

Radio buttons and label to display in same line

I was having the similar issue of keeping all radio buttons on the same line. After trying all the things I could, nothing worked for me except the following. What I mean is simply using table resolved the issue allowing radio buttons to appear in the same line.

<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        <label>
            @Html.RadioButton("p_sortForPatch", "byName", new { @checked = "checked", @class = "radio" }) By Name
        </label>
    </td>
    <td>
        <label>
            @Html.RadioButton("p_sortForPatch", "byDate", new { @class = "radio" }) By Date

How to remove all white spaces in java

You can use a regular expression to delete white spaces , try that snippet:

Can I execute a function after setState is finished updating?

when new props or states being received (like you call setState here), React will invoked some functions, which are called componentWillUpdate and componentDidUpdate

in your case, just simply add a componentDidUpdate function to call this.drawGrid()

here is working code in JS Bin

as I mentioned, in the code, componentDidUpdate will be invoked after this.setState(...)

then componentDidUpdate inside is going to call this.drawGrid()

How can I concatenate strings in VBA?

& is always evaluated in a string context, while + may not concatenate if one of the operands is no string:

"1" + "2" => "12"
"1" + 2   => 3
1 + "2"   => 3
"a" + 2   => type mismatch

This is simply a subtle source of potential bugs and therefore should be avoided. & always means "string concatenation", even if its arguments are non-strings:

"1" & "2" => "12"
"1" &  2  => "12"
 1  & "2" => "12"
 1  &  2  => "12"
"a" &  2  => "a2"

$(window).width() not the same as media query

Javascript provides more than one method to check the viewport width. As you noticed, innerWidth doesn't include the toolbar width, and toolbar widths will differ across systems. There is also the outerWidth option, which will include the toolbar width. The Mozilla Javascript API states:

Window.outerWidth gets the width of the outside of the browser window. It represents the width of the whole browser window including sidebar (if expanded), window chrome and window resizing borders/handles.

The state of javascript is such that one cannot rely on a specific meaning for outerWidth in every browser on every platform.

outerWidth is not well supported on older mobile browsers, though it enjoys support across major desktop browsers and most newer smart phone browsers.

As ausi pointed out, matchMedia would be a great choice as CSS is better standardised (matchMedia uses JS to read the viewport values detected by CSS). But even with accepted standards, retarded browsers still exist that ignore them (IE < 10 in this case, which makes matchMedia not very useful at least until XP dies).

In summary, if you are only developing for desktop browsers and newer mobile browsers, outerWidth should give you what you are looking for, with some caveats.

Eclipse compilation error: The hierarchy of the type 'Class name' is inconsistent

The problem may be that you have included incorrect jars. I had the same problem and the reason was that I had included incorrect default JRE library in the build path of the project. I had installed Java with another version and was including JRE files of Java with a different version. (I had installed JRE 1.6 in my system and was having JRE library 1.7 included in the build path due to previously installed Java) May be you can check if the JRE library that you have included in the build path is of correct version ie. of Java version that you have installed in your system.

How to get all values from python enum class?

class enum.Enum is a class that solves all your enumeration needs, so you just need to inherit from it, and add your own fields. Then from then on, all you need to do is to just call it's attributes: name & value:

from enum import Enum

class Letter(Enum):
   A = 1
   B = 2
   C = 3

print({i.name: i.value for i in Letter})
# prints {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}

intl extension: installing php_intl.dll

The packages at http://windows.php.net/download/ all contain the php\_intl.dll which is located in the subdir ext/.
All you have to do is to check if your extension_dir points to the right directory and add (or uncomment) the extension=php\_intl.dll directive.

Calculate age based on date of birth

There is a simple way to find the date from any birthdate by using substr of PHP

$birth_date = '15.03.2014';
$date = substr($birth_date, 0, 2);
echo $date;

Which will just simply give you the output date of that birth date.

In this case, that will be 15.

See substr of PHP for more...

Console errors. Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE

I had this problem with chrome when I was working on a WordPress site. I added this code

into the theme's functions.php file - it asks you to log in again when you save the file but once it's logged in it works straight away.

How to make Twitter Bootstrap tooltips have multiple lines?

You can use white-space:pre-wrap on the tooltip. This will make the tooltip respect new lines. Lines will still wrap if they are longer than the default max-width of the container.

.tooltip-inner {
    white-space:pre-wrap;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/chad/TSZSL/52/

If you want to prevent text from wrapping, do the following instead.

.tooltip-inner {
    white-space:pre;
    max-width:none;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/chad/TSZSL/53/

Neither of these will work with a \n in the html, they must actually be actual newlines. Alternatively, you can use encoded newlines &#013;, but that's probably even less desirable than using <br>'s.

Removing packages installed with go get

It's safe to just delete the source directory and compiled package file. Find the source directory under $GOPATH/src and the package file under $GOPATH/pkg/<architecture>, for example: $GOPATH/pkg/windows_amd64.

How to remove duplicate values from a multi-dimensional array in PHP

Since 5.2.9 you can use array_unique() if you use the SORT_REGULAR flag like so:

array_unique($array, SORT_REGULAR);

This makes the function compare elements for equality as if $a == $b were being used, which is perfect for your case.

Output

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => abc
            [1] => def
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => ghi
            [1] => jkl
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => mno
            [1] => pql
        )

)

Keep in mind, though, that the documentation states:

array_unique() is not intended to work on multi dimensional arrays.

jQuery - setting the selected value of a select control via its text description

Just on a side note. My selected value was not being set. And i had search all over the net. Actually i had to select a value after a call back from a web service, because i was getting data from it.

$("#SelectMonth option[value=" + DataFromWebService + "]").attr('selected', 'selected'); 
$("#SelectMonth").selectmenu('refresh', true);

So the refresh of the selector was was the only thing that i was missing.

Heatmap in matplotlib with pcolor?

Someone edited this question to remove the code I used, so I was forced to add it as an answer. Thanks to all who participated in answering this question! I think most of the other answers are better than this code, I'm just leaving this here for reference purposes.

With thanks to Paul H, and unutbu (who answered this question), I have some pretty nice-looking output:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
column_labels = list('ABCD')
row_labels = list('WXYZ')
data = np.random.rand(4,4)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
heatmap = ax.pcolor(data, cmap=plt.cm.Blues)

# put the major ticks at the middle of each cell
ax.set_xticks(np.arange(data.shape[0])+0.5, minor=False)
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(data.shape[1])+0.5, minor=False)

# want a more natural, table-like display
ax.invert_yaxis()
ax.xaxis.tick_top()

ax.set_xticklabels(row_labels, minor=False)
ax.set_yticklabels(column_labels, minor=False)
plt.show()

And here's the output:

Matplotlib HeatMap

Why does my JavaScript code receive a "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource" error, while Postman does not?

The error you get is due to the CORS standard, which sets some restrictions on how JavaScript can perform ajax requests.

The CORS standard is a client-side standard, implemented in the browser. So it is the browser which prevent the call from completing and generates the error message - not the server.

Postman does not implement the CORS restrictions, which is why you don't see the same error when making the same call from Postman.

Bat file to run a .exe at the command prompt

If you want to be real smart, at the command line type:

echo svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:generatedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/service >CreateService.cmd

Then you have CreateService.cmd that you can run whenever you want (.cmd is just another extension for .bat files)

Can Google Chrome open local links?

I've just came across the same problem and found the chrome extension Open IE.
That's the only one what works for me (Chrome V46 & V52). The only disadvantefge is, that you need to install an additional program, means you need admin rights.

How to make a whole 'div' clickable in html and css without JavaScript?

a whole div links to another page when clicked without javascript and with valid code, is this possible?

Pedantic answer: No.

As you've already put on another comment, it's invalid to nest a div inside an a tag.

However, there's nothing preventing you from making your a tag behave very similarly to a div, with the exception that you cannot nest other block tags inside it. If it suits your markup, set display:block on your a tag and size / float it however you like.

If you renege on your question's premise that you need to avoid javascript, as others have pointed our you can use the onClick event handler. jQuery is a popular choice for making this easy and maintainable.

Update:

In HTML5, placing a <div> inside an <a> is valid.

See http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/a.html#a-changes (thanks Damien)

Possible to restore a backup of SQL Server 2014 on SQL Server 2012?

You CANNOT do this - you cannot attach/detach or backup/restore a database from a newer version of SQL Server down to an older version - the internal file structures are just too different to support backwards compatibility. This is still true in SQL Server 2014 - you cannot restore a 2014 backup on anything other than another 2014 box (or something newer).

You can either get around this problem by

  • using the same version of SQL Server on all your machines - then you can easily backup/restore databases between instances

  • otherwise you can create the database scripts for both structure (tables, view, stored procedures etc.) and for contents (the actual data contained in the tables) either in SQL Server Management Studio (Tasks > Generate Scripts) or using a third-party tool

  • or you can use a third-party tool like Red-Gate's SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare to do "diffing" between your source and target, generate update scripts from those differences, and then execute those scripts on the target platform; this works across different SQL Server versions.

The compatibility mode setting just controls what T-SQL features are available to you - which can help to prevent accidentally using new features not available in other servers. But it does NOT change the internal file format for the .mdf files - this is NOT a solution for that particular problem - there is no solution for restoring a backup from a newer version of SQL Server on an older instance.

How to convert an entire MySQL database characterset and collation to UTF-8?

How do I add a new column to a Spark DataFrame (using PySpark)?

I would like to offer a generalized example for a very similar use case:

Use Case: I have a csv consisting of:

First|Third|Fifth
data|data|data
data|data|data
...billion more lines

I need to perform some transformations and the final csv needs to look like

First|Second|Third|Fourth|Fifth
data|null|data|null|data
data|null|data|null|data
...billion more lines

I need to do this because this is the schema defined by some model and I need for my final data to be interoperable with SQL Bulk Inserts and such things.

so:

1) I read the original csv using spark.read and call it "df".

2) I do something to the data.

3) I add the null columns using this script:

outcols = []
for column in MY_COLUMN_LIST:
    if column in df.columns:
        outcols.append(column)
    else:
        outcols.append(lit(None).cast(StringType()).alias('{0}'.format(column)))

df = df.select(outcols)

In this way, you can structure your schema after loading a csv (would also work for reordering columns if you have to do this for many tables).

Get first key in a (possibly) associative array?

For 2018+

Starting with PHP 7.3, there is an array_key_first() function that achieve exactly this:

$firstKey = array_key_first($array); // 'foo'

Documentation is available here.

How do you calculate the variance, median, and standard deviation in C++ or Java?

        size = data.length;
    }   

    double getMean() {
        double sum = 0.0;
        for(double a : data)
            sum += a;
        return sum/size;
    }

    double getVariance() {
        double mean = getMean();
        double temp = 0;
        for(double a :data)
            temp += (a-mean)*(a-mean);
        return temp/(size-1);
    }

    double getStdDev() {
        return Math.sqrt(getVariance());
    }

    public double median() {
       Arrays.sort(data);
       if (data.length % 2 == 0)
          return (data[(data.length / 2) - 1] + data[data.length / 2]) / 2.0;
       return data[data.length / 2];
    }
}

jQuery get html of container including the container itself

Firefox doesn't support outerHTML, so you need to define a function to help support it:

function outerHTML(node) {
    return node.outerHTML || (
        function(n) {
            var div = document.createElement('div');
            div.appendChild( n.cloneNode(true) );
            var h = div.innerHTML;
            div = null;
            return h;
        }
    )(node);
}

Then, you can use outerHTML:

var x = outerHTML($('#container').get(0));
$('#save').val(x);

Perform curl request in javascript?

Yes, use getJSONP. It's the only way to make cross domain/server async calls. (*Or it will be in the near future). Something like

$.getJSON('your-api-url/validate.php?'+$(this).serialize+'callback=?', function(data){
if(data)console.log(data);
});

The callback parameter will be filled in automatically by the browser, so don't worry.

On the server side ('validate.php') you would have something like this

<?php
if(isset($_GET))
{
//if condition is met
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . "{'message' : 'success', 'userID':'69', 'serial' : 'XYZ99UAUGDVD&orwhatever'}". ')';
}
else echo json_encode(array('error'=>'failed'));
?>

[Edit] However, as pointed out in the comments, this will capture much more than the string 1578 (e.g. it also matches for 21578 etc) and thus should be used only if you are certain that you the length of the values you are searching will not be larger than the four characters or digits shown here.

Where is debug.keystore in Android Studio

I got this problem. The debug.keystore file was missing. So the only step that created a correct file for me was creating a new Android project in Android Studio.

It created me a new debug.keystore under path C:\Users\username\.android\.

This solution probably works only when you have not created any projects yet.

Why can templates only be implemented in the header file?

How to solve javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException Error?

Whenever we are trying to connect to URL,

if server at the other site is running on https protocol and is mandating that we should communicate via information provided in certificate then we have following option:

1) ask for the certificate(download the certificate), import this certificate in trustore. Default trustore java uses can be found in \Java\jdk1.6.0_29\jre\lib\security\cacerts, then if we retry to connect to the URL connection would be accepted.

2) In normal business cases, we might be connecting to internal URLS in organizations and we know that they are correct. In such cases, you trust that it is the correct URL, In such cases above, code can be used which will not mandate to store the certificate to connect to particular URL.

for the point no 2 we have to follow below steps :

1) write below method which sets HostnameVerifier for HttpsURLConnection which returns true for all cases meaning we are trusting the trustStore.

  // trusting all certificate 
 public void doTrustToCertificates() throws Exception {
        Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
                new X509TrustManager() {
                    public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                        return null;
                    }

                    public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) throws CertificateException {
                        return;
                    }

                    public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) throws CertificateException {
                        return;
                    }
                }
        };

        SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
        sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new SecureRandom());
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
        HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier() {
            public boolean verify(String urlHostName, SSLSession session) {
                if (!urlHostName.equalsIgnoreCase(session.getPeerHost())) {
                    System.out.println("Warning: URL host '" + urlHostName + "' is different to SSLSession host '" + session.getPeerHost() + "'.");
                }
                return true;
            }
        };
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);
    }

2) write below method, which calls doTrustToCertificates before trying to connect to URL

    // connecting to URL
    public void connectToUrl(){
     doTrustToCertificates();//  
     URL url = new URL("https://www.example.com");
     HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection(); 
     System.out.println("ResponseCode ="+conn.getResponseCode());
   }

This call will return response code = 200 means connection is successful.

For more detail and sample example you can refer to URL.

I have never set any passwords to my keystore and alias, so how are they created?

Better than all options, you can set your signingConfig to be equals your debug.signingConfig. To do that you just need to do the following:

android {
  ...
  buildTypes {
    ...
    wantedBuildType {
      signingConfig debug.signingConfig
    }
  }
}

With that you will not need to know where the debug.keystore is, the app will work for all team, even if someone use a different environment.

How do I rename a local Git branch?

Send form data using ajax

The code you've posted has two problems:

First: <input type="buttom" should be <input type="button".... This probably is just a typo but without button your input will be treated as type="text" as the default input type is text.

Second: In your function f() definition, you are using the form parameter thinking it's already a jQuery object by using form.attr("action"). Then similarly in the $.post method call, you're passing fname and lname which are HTMLInputElements. I believe what you want is form's action url and input element's values.

Try with the following changes:

HTML

<form action="/echo/json/" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="lname" />
    <input type="text" name="fname" />

    <!-- change "buttom" to "button" -->
    <input type="button" name="send" onclick="return f(this.form ,this.form.fname ,this.form.lname) " />
</form>

JavaScript

function f(form, fname, lname) {
    att = form.action; // Use form.action
    $.post(att, {
        fname: fname.value, // Use fname.value
        lname: lname.value // Use lname.value
    }).done(function (data) {
        alert(data);
    });
    return true;
}

How can I set the PATH variable for javac so I can manually compile my .java works?

First thing I wann ans to this imp question: "Why we require PATH To be set?"

Answer : You need to set PATH to compile Java source code, create JAVA CLASS FILES and allow Operating System to load classes at runtime.

Now you will understand why after setting "javac" you can manually compile by just saying "Class_name.java"

Modify the PATH of Windows Environmental Variable by appending the location till bin directory where all exe file(for eg. java,javac) are present.

Example : ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin.

C++ Get name of type in template

I just leave it there. If someone will still need it, then you can use this:

template <class T>
bool isString(T* t) { return false;  } // normal case returns false

template <>
bool isString(char* t) { return true; }  // but for char* or String.c_str() returns true
.
.
.

This will only CHECK type not GET it and only for 1 type or 2.

CSS to keep element at "fixed" position on screen

#fixedbutton {
    position: fixed;

}

The z-index is added to overshadow any element with a greater property you might not know about.

DLL Load Library - Error Code 126

Windows dll error 126 can have many root causes. The most useful methods I have found to debug this are:

  1. Use dependency walker to look for any obvious problems (which you have already done)
  2. Use the sysinternals utility Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 from Microsoft to trace all file access while your dll is trying to load. With this utility, you will see everything that that dll is trying to pull in and usually the problem can be determined from there.

Session 'app': Error Launching activity

I got the same error. This issue was caused by uninstalling the app from the device (uninstalled from only 1 user)

Solved by logging into the other user and uninstall the app from there.

and it solved.

How do you properly return multiple values from a Promise?

Here is how I reckon you should be doing.

splitting the chain

Because both functions will be using amazingData, it makes sense to have them in a dedicated function. I usually do that everytime I want to reuse some data, so it is always present as a function arg.

As your example is running some code, I will suppose it is all declared inside a function. I will call it toto(). Then we will have another function which will run both afterSomething() and afterSomethingElse().

function toto() {
    return somethingAsync()
        .then( tata );
}

You will also notice I added a return statement as it is usually the way to go with Promises - you always return a promise so we can keep chaining if required. Here, somethingAsync() will produce amazingData and it will be available everywhere inside the new function.

Now what this new function will look like typically depends on is processAsync() also asynchronous?

processAsync not asynchronous

No reason to overcomplicate things if processAsync() is not asynchronous. Some old good sequential code would make it.

function tata( amazingData ) {
    var processed = afterSomething( amazingData );
    return afterSomethingElse( amazingData, processed );
}

function afterSomething( amazingData ) {
    return processAsync( amazingData );
}
function afterSomethingElse( amazingData, processedData ) {
}

Note that it does not matter if afterSomethingElse() is doing something async or not. If it does, a promise will be returned and the chain can continue. If it is not, then the result value will be returned. But because the function is called from a then(), the value will be wrapped into a promise anyway (at least in raw Javascript).

processAsync asynchronous

If processAsync() is asynchronous, the code will look slightly different. Here we consider afterSomething() and afterSomethingElse() are not going to be reused anywhere else.

function tata( amazingData ) {
    return afterSomething()
        .then( afterSomethingElse );

    function afterSomething( /* no args */ ) {
        return processAsync( amazingData );
    }
    function afterSomethingElse( processedData ) {
        /* amazingData can be accessed here */
    }
}

Same as before for afterSomethingElse(). It can be asynchronous or not. A promise will be returned, or a value wrapped into a resolved promise.


Your coding style is quite close to what I use to do, that is why I answered even after 2 years. I am not a big fan of having anonymous functions everywhere. I find it hard to read. Even if it is quite common in the community. It is as we replaced the callback-hell by a promise-purgatory.

I also like to keep the name of the functions in the then short. They will only be defined locally anyway. And most of the time they will call another function defined elsewhere - so reusable - to do the job. I even do that for functions with only 1 parameter, so I do not need to get the function in and out when I add/remove a parameter to the function signature.

Eating example

Here is an example:

function goingThroughTheEatingProcess(plenty, of, args, to, match, real, life) {
    return iAmAsync()
        .then(chew)
        .then(swallow);

        function chew(result) {
            return carefullyChewThis(plenty, of, args, "water", "piece of tooth", result);
        }

        function swallow(wine) {
            return nowIsTimeToSwallow(match, real, life, wine);
        }
}

function iAmAsync() {
    return Promise.resolve("mooooore");
}

function carefullyChewThis(plenty, of, args, and, some, more) {
    return true;
}

function nowIsTimeToSwallow(match, real, life, bobool) {
}

Do not focus too much on the Promise.resolve(). It is just a quick way to create a resolved promise. What I try to achieve by this is to have all the code I am running in a single location - just underneath the thens. All the others functions with a more descriptive name are reusable.

The drawback with this technique is that it is defining a lot of functions. But it is a necessary pain I am afraid in order to avoid having anonymous functions all over the place. And what is the risk anyway: a stack overflow? (joke!)


Using arrays or objects as defined in other answers would work too. This one in a way is the answer proposed by Kevin Reid.

You can also use bind() or Promise.all(). Note that they will still require you to split your code.

using bind

If you want to keep your functions reusable but do not really need to keep what is inside the then very short, you can use bind().

function tata( amazingData ) {
    return afterSomething( amazingData )
        .then( afterSomethingElse.bind(null, amazingData) );
}

function afterSomething( amazingData ) {
    return processAsync( amazingData );
}
function afterSomethingElse( amazingData, processedData ) {
}

To keep it simple, bind() will prepend the list of args (except the first one) to the function when it is called.

using Promise.all

In your post you mentionned the use of spread(). I never used the framework you are using, but here is how you should be able to use it.

Some believe Promise.all() is the solution to all problems, so it deserves to be mentioned I guess.

function tata( amazingData ) {
    return Promise.all( [ amazingData, afterSomething( amazingData ) ] )
        .then( afterSomethingElse );
}

function afterSomething( amazingData ) {
    return processAsync( amazingData );
}
function afterSomethingElse( args ) {
    var amazingData = args[0];
    var processedData = args[1];
}

You can pass data to Promise.all() - note the presence of the array - as long as promises, but make sure none of the promises fail otherwise it will stop processing.

And instead of defining new variables from the args argument, you should be able to use spread() instead of then() for all sort of awesome work.

change image opacity using javascript

You could use Jquery indeed or plain good old javascript:

var opacityPercent=30;
document.getElementById("id").style.cssText="opacity:0."+opacityPercent+"; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0,opacity="+opacityPercent+");";

You put this in a function that you call on a setTimeout until the desired opacity is reached

Should Gemfile.lock be included in .gitignore?

A little late to the party, but answers still took me time and foreign reads to understand this problem. So I want to summarize what I have find out about the Gemfile.lock.

When you are building a Rails App, you are using certain versions of gems in your local machine. If you want to avoid errors in the production mode and other branches, you have to use that one Gemfile.lock file everywhere and tell bundler to bundle for rebuilding gems every time it changes.

If Gemfile.lock has changed on your production machine and Git doesn't let you git pull, you should write git reset --hard to avoid that file change and write git pull again.

Git: Remove committed file after push

Reset the file in a correct state, commit, and push again.

If you're sure nobody else has fetched your changes yet, you can use --amend when committing, to modify your previous commit (i.e. rewrite history), and then push. I think you'll have to use the -f option when pushing, to force the push, though.

IF EXISTS, THEN SELECT ELSE INSERT AND THEN SELECT

IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Table WHERE FieldValue='') 
BEGIN
   SELECT TableID FROM Table WHERE FieldValue=''
END
ELSE
BEGIN
   INSERT INTO TABLE(FieldValue) VALUES('')
   SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS TableID
END

See here for more information on IF ELSE

Note: written without a SQL Server install handy to double check this but I think it is correct

Also, I've changed the EXISTS bit to do SELECT 1 rather than SELECT * as you don't care what is returned within an EXISTS, as long as something is I've also changed the SCOPE_IDENTITY() bit to return just the identity assuming that TableID is the identity column

Dynamic loading of images in WPF

Here is the extension method to load an image from URI:

public static BitmapImage GetBitmapImage(
    this Uri imageAbsolutePath,
    BitmapCacheOption bitmapCacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.Default)
{
    BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
    image.BeginInit();
    image.CacheOption = bitmapCacheOption;
    image.UriSource = imageAbsolutePath;
    image.EndInit();

    return image;
}

Sample of use:

Uri _imageUri = new Uri(imageAbsolutePath);
ImageXamlElement.Source = _imageUri.GetBitmapImage(BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad);

Simple as that!

Turn off textarea resizing

CSS3 can solve this problem. Unfortunately it's only supported on 60% of used browsers nowadays.

For IE and iOS you can't turn off resizing but you can limit the textarea dimension by setting its width and height.

textarea { resize:vertical; } /* none|horizontal|vertical|both */

How to maximize the browser window in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using C#?

Test step/scenario:
1. Open a browser and navigate to TestURL
2. Maximize the browser

Maximize the browser with C# (.NET):

Maximize the browser with Java :

driver.manage().window().maximize();

Another way to do with Java:

Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Dimension screenResolution = new Dimension((int) 
                    toolkit.getScreenSize().getWidth(), (int) 
                    toolkit.getScreenSize().getHeight());

driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

PHP regular expression - filter number only

This is the right answer

preg_match("/^[0-9]+$/", $yourstr);

This function return TRUE(1) if it matches or FALSE(0) if it doesn't

Quick Explanation :

'^' : means that it should begin with the following ( in our case is a range of digital numbers [0-9] ) ( to avoid cases like ("abdjdf125") )

'+' : means there should be at least one digit

'$' : means after our pattern the string should end ( to avoid cases like ("125abdjdf") )

PuTTY scripting to log onto host

I want to suggest a common solution for those requirements, maybe it is a use for you: AutoIt. With that program, you can write scripts on top of any window like Putty and execute all commands you want to (like button pressing or mouse clicking in textboxes or buttons).

This way you can emulate all steps you are always doing with Putty.

C# 4.0: Convert pdf to byte[] and vice versa

Codesign error: Provisioning profile cannot be found after deleting expired profile

I just encountered this problem in my Xcode 4. To fix it, you need to put all the correct provisions into both Debug and Release config.

This fix it and enables me to archive normally. Hope that helps.

How do getters and setters work?

You may also want to read "Why getter and setter methods are evil":

Though getter/setter methods are commonplace in Java, they are not particularly object oriented (OO). In fact, they can damage your code's maintainability. Moreover, the presence of numerous getter and setter methods is a red flag that the program isn't necessarily well designed from an OO perspective.

This article explains why you shouldn't use getters and setters (and when you can use them) and suggests a design methodology that will help you break out of the getter/setter mentality.

Key error when selecting columns in pandas dataframe after read_csv

The key error generally comes if the key doesn't match any of the dataframe column name 'exactly':

You could also try:

import csv
import pandas as pd
import re
    with open (filename, "r") as file:
        df = pd.read_csv(file, delimiter = ",")
        df.columns = ((df.columns.str).replace("^ ","")).str.replace(" $","")
        print(df.columns)

C++ program converts fahrenheit to celsius

Best way would be

#include <iostream>                        
using namespace std;                       

int main() {                               
    float celsius;                         
    float fahrenheit;

    cout << "Enter Celsius temperature: "; 
    cin >> celsius;
    fahrenheit = (celsius * 1.8) + 32;// removing division for the confusion
    cout << "Fahrenheit = " << fahrenheit << endl;

    return 0;                             
}

How to order events bound with jQuery

In some special cases, when you cannot change how the click events are bound (event bindings are made from others' codes), and you can change the HTML element, here is a possible solution (warning: this is not the recommended way to bind events, other developers may murder you for this):

<span onclick="yourEventHandler(event)">Button</span>

With this way of binding, your event hander will be added first, so it will be executed first.

How to connect to LocalDb

How to loop over grouped Pandas dataframe?

df.groupby('l_customer_id_i').agg(lambda x: ','.join(x)) does already return a dataframe, so you cannot loop over the groups anymore.

In general:

  • df.groupby(...) returns a GroupBy object (a DataFrameGroupBy or SeriesGroupBy), and with this, you can iterate through the groups (as explained in the docs here). You can do something like:

    grouped = df.groupby('A')
    
    for name, group in grouped:
        ...
    
  • When you apply a function on the groupby, in your example df.groupby(...).agg(...) (but this can also be transform, apply, mean, ...), you combine the result of applying the function to the different groups together in one dataframe (the apply and combine step of the 'split-apply-combine' paradigm of groupby). So the result of this will always be again a DataFrame (or a Series depending on the applied function).

Built in Python hash() function

The response is absolutely no surprise: in fact

In [1]: -5768830964305142685L & 0xffffffff
Out[1]: 1934711907L

so if you want to get reliable responses on ASCII strings, just get the lower 32 bits as uint. The hash function for strings is 32-bit-safe and almost portable.

On the other side, you can't rely at all on getting the hash() of any object over which you haven't explicitly defined the __hash__ method to be invariant.

Over ASCII strings it works just because the hash is calculated on the single characters forming the string, like the following:

class string:
    def __hash__(self):
        if not self:
            return 0 # empty
        value = ord(self[0]) << 7
        for char in self:
            value = c_mul(1000003, value) ^ ord(char)
        value = value ^ len(self)
        if value == -1:
            value = -2
        return value

where the c_mul function is the "cyclic" multiplication (without overflow) as in C.

How do I give text or an image a transparent background using CSS?

The easiest method would be to use a semi-transparent background PNG image.

You can use JavaScript to make it work in Internet Explorer 6 if you need to.

I use the method outlined in Transparent PNGs in Internet Explorer 6.

Other than that, you could fake it using two side-by-side sibling elements - make one semi-transparent, then absolutely position the other over the top.

Search for executable files using find command

Tip of the hat to @gniourf_gniourf for clearing up a fundamental misconception.

This answer attempts to provide an overview of the existing answers and to discuss their subtleties and relative merits as well as to provide background information, especially with respect to portability.

Finding files that are executable can refer to two distinct use cases:

  • user-centric: find files that are executable by the current user.
  • file-centric: find files that have (one or more) executable permission bits set.

Note that in either scenario it may make sense to use find -L ... instead of just find ... in order to also find symlinks to executables.

Note that the simplest file-centric case - looking for executables with the executable permissions bit set for ALL three security principals (user, group, other) - will typically, but not necessarily yield the same results as the user-centric scenario - and it's important to understand the difference.

User-centric (-executable)

  • The accepted answer commendably recommends -executable, IF GNU find is available.

    • GNU find comes with most Linux distros
      • By contrast, BSD-based platforms, including macOS, come with BSD find, which is less powerful.
    • As the scenario demands, -executable matches only files the current user can execute (there are edge cases.[1]).
  • The BSD find alternative offered by the accepted answer (-perm +111) answers a different, file-centric question (as the answer itself states).

    • Using just -perm to answer the user-centric question is impossible, because what is needed is to relate the file's user and group identity to the current user's, whereas -perm can only test the file's permissions.
      Using only POSIX find features, the question cannot be answered without involving external utilities.
    • Thus, the best -perm can do (by itself) is an approximation of -executable. Perhaps a closer approximation than -perm +111 is -perm -111, so as to find files that have the executable bit set for ALL security principals (user, group, other) - this strikes me as the typical real-world scenario. As a bonus, it also happens to be POSIX-compliant (use find -L to include symlinks, see farther below for an explanation):

      find . -type f -perm -111  # or: find . -type f -perm -a=x
      
  • gniourf_gniourf's answer provides a true, portable equivalent of -executable, using -exec test -x {} \;, albeit at the expense of performance.

    • Combining -exec test -x {} \; with -perm +111 (i.e., files with at least one executable bit set) may help performance in that exec needn't be invoked for every file (the following uses the POSIX-compliant equivalent of BSD find -perm +111 / GNU find -perm /111; see farther below for an explanation):

      find . -type f \( -perm -u=x -o -perm -g=x -o -perm -o=x \) -exec test -x {} \; -print
      

File-centric (-perm)

  • To answer file-centric questions, it is sufficient to use the POSIX-compliant -perm primary (known as a test in GNU find terminology).
    • -perm allows you to test for any file permissions, not just executability.
    • Permissions are specified as either octal or symbolic modes. Octal modes are octal numbers (e.g., 111), whereas symbolic modes are strings (e.g., a=x).
    • Symbolic modes identify the security principals as u (user), g (group) and o (other), or a to refer to all three. Permissions are expressed as x for executable, for instance, and assigned to principals using operators =, + and -; for a full discussion, including of octal modes, see the POSIX spec for the chmod utility.
    • In the context of find:
      • Prefixing a mode with - (e.g., -ug=x) means: match files that have all the permissions specified (but matching files may have additional permissions).
      • Having NO prefix (e.g. 755) means: match files that have this full, exact set of permissions.
      • Caveat: Both GNU find and BSD find implement an additional, nonstandard prefix with are-ANY-of-the-specified-permission-bits-set logic, but do so with incompatible syntax:
        • BSD find: +
        • GNU find: / [2]
      • Therefore, avoid these extensions, if your code must be portable.
  • The examples below demonstrate portable answers to various file-centric questions.

File-centric command examples

Note:

  • The following examples are POSIX-compliant, meaning they should work in any POSIX-compatible implementation, including GNU find and BSD find; specifically, this requires:
    • NOT using nonstandard mode prefixes + or /.
    • Using the POSIX forms of the logical-operator primaries:
      • ! for NOT (GNU find and BSD find also allow -not); note that \! is used in the examples so as to protect ! from shell history expansions
      • -a for AND (GNU find and BSD find also allow -and)
      • -o for OR (GNU find and BSD find also allow -or)
  • The examples use symbolic modes, because they're easier to read and remember.
    • With mode prefix -, the = and + operators can be used interchangeably (e.g., -u=x is equivalent to -u+x - unless you apply -x later, but there's no point in doing that).
    • Use , to join partial modes; AND logic is implied; e.g., -u=x,g=x means that both the user and the group executable bit must be set.
    • Modes cannot themselves express negative matching in the sense of "match only if this bit is NOT set"; you must use a separate -perm expression with the NOT primary, !.
  • Note that find's primaries (such as -print, or -perm; also known as actions and tests in GNU find) are implicitly joined with -a (logical AND), and that -o and possibly parentheses (escaped as \( and \) for the shell) are needed to implement OR logic.
  • find -L ... instead of just find ... is used in order to also match symlinks to executables
    • -L instructs find to evaluate the targets of symlinks instead of the symlinks themselves; therefore, without -L, -type f would ignore symlinks altogether.
# Match files that have ALL executable bits set - for ALL 3 security
# principals (u (user), g (group), o (others)) and are therefore executable
# by *anyone*.
# This is the typical case, and applies to executables in _system_ locations
# (e.g., /bin) and user-installed executables in _shared_ locations
# (e.g., /usr/local/bin), for instance. 
find -L . -type f -perm -a=x  # -a=x is the same as -ugo=x

# The POSIX-compliant equivalent of `-perm +111` from the accepted answer:
# Match files that have ANY executable bit set.
# Note the need to group the permission tests using parentheses.
find -L . -type f \( -perm -u=x -o -perm -g=x -o -perm -o=x \)

# A somewhat contrived example to demonstrate the use of a multi-principial
# mode (comma-separated clauses) and negation:
# Match files that have _both_ the user and group executable bit set, while
# also _not_ having the other executable bit set.
find -L . -type f -perm -u=x,g=x  \! -perm -o=x

[1] Description of -executable from man find as of GNU find 4.4.2:

Matches files which are executable and directories which are searchable (in a file name resolution sense). This takes into account access control lists and other permissions artefacts which the -perm test ignores. This test makes use of the access(2) system call, and so can be fooled by NFS servers which do UID mapping (or root-squashing), since many systems implement access(2) in the client's kernel and so cannot make use of the UID mapping information held on the server. Because this test is based only on the result of the access(2) system call, there is no guarantee that a file for which this test succeeds can actually be executed.

[2] GNU find versions older than 4.5.12 also allowed prefix +, but this was first deprecated and eventually removed, because combining + with symbolic modes yields likely yields unexpected results due to being interpreted as an exact permissions mask. If you (a) run on a version before 4.5.12 and (b) restrict yourself to octal modes only, you could get away with using + with both GNU find and BSD find, but it's not a good idea.

Passing an array of data as an input parameter to an Oracle procedure

This is one way to do it:

SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE MyType AS VARRAY(200) OF VARCHAR2(50);
  2  /

Type created

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testing (t_in MyType) IS
  2  BEGIN
  3    FOR i IN 1..t_in.count LOOP
  4      dbms_output.put_line(t_in(i));
  5    END LOOP;
  6  END;
  7  /

Procedure created

SQL> DECLARE
  2    v_t MyType;
  3  BEGIN
  4    v_t := MyType();
  5    v_t.EXTEND(10);
  6    v_t(1) := 'this is a test';
  7    v_t(2) := 'A second test line';
  8    testing(v_t);
  9  END;
 10  /

this is a test
A second test line

To expand on my comment to @dcp's answer, here's how you could implement the solution proposed there if you wanted to use an associative array:

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE p IS
  2    TYPE p_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(50) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
  3  
  4    PROCEDURE pp (inp p_type);
  5  END p;
  6  /

Package created
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY p IS
  2    PROCEDURE pp (inp p_type) IS
  3    BEGIN
  4      FOR i IN 1..inp.count LOOP
  5        dbms_output.put_line(inp(i));
  6      END LOOP;
  7    END pp;
  8  END p;
  9  /

Package body created
SQL> DECLARE
  2    v_t p.p_type;
  3  BEGIN
  4    v_t(1) := 'this is a test of p';
  5    v_t(2) := 'A second test line for p';
  6    p.pp(v_t);
  7  END;
  8  /

this is a test of p
A second test line for p

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed

SQL> 

This trades creating a standalone Oracle TYPE (which cannot be an associative array) with requiring the definition of a package that can be seen by all in order that the TYPE it defines there can be used by all.

Show Youtube video source into HTML5 video tag?

I have created a realtively small (4.89 KB) javascript library for this exact functionality.

Found on my GitHub here: https://github.com/thelevicole/youtube-to-html5-loader/

It's as simple as:

<video data-yt2html5="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScMzIvxBSi4"></video>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thelevicole/[email protected]/dist/YouTubeToHtml5.js"></script>
<script>new YouTubeToHtml5();</script>

Working example here: https://jsfiddle.net/thelevicole/5g6dbpx3/1/

What the library does is extract the video ID from the data attribute and makes a request to the https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=. It decodes the response which includes streaming information we can use to add a source to the <video> tag.

How to format a number as percentage in R?

Base R

I much prefer to use sprintf which is available in base R.

sprintf("%0.1f%%", .7293827 * 100)
[1] "72.9%"

I especially like sprintf because you can also insert strings.

sprintf("People who prefer %s over %s: %0.4f%%", 
        "Coke Classic", 
        "New Coke",
        .999999 * 100)
[1] "People who prefer Coke Classic over New Coke: 99.9999%"

It's especially useful to use sprintf with things like database configurations; you just read in a yaml file, then use sprintf to populate a template without a bunch of nasty paste0's.

Longer motivating example

This pattern is especially useful for rmarkdown reports, when you have a lot of text and a lot of values to aggregate.

Setup / aggregation:

library(data.table) ## for aggregate

approval <- data.table(year = trunc(time(presidents)), 
                       pct = as.numeric(presidents) / 100,
                       president = c(rep("Truman", 32),
                                     rep("Eisenhower", 32),
                                     rep("Kennedy", 12),
                                     rep("Johnson", 20),
                                     rep("Nixon", 24)))
approval_agg <- approval[i = TRUE,
                         j = .(ave_approval = mean(pct, na.rm=T)), 
                         by = president]
approval_agg
#     president ave_approval
# 1:     Truman    0.4700000
# 2: Eisenhower    0.6484375
# 3:    Kennedy    0.7075000
# 4:    Johnson    0.5550000
# 5:      Nixon    0.4859091

Using sprintf with vectors of text and numbers, outputting to cat just for newlines.

approval_agg[, sprintf("%s approval rating: %0.1f%%",
                       president,
                       ave_approval * 100)] %>% 
  cat(., sep = "\n")
# 
# Truman approval rating: 47.0%
# Eisenhower approval rating: 64.8%
# Kennedy approval rating: 70.8%
# Johnson approval rating: 55.5%
# Nixon approval rating: 48.6%

Finally, for my own selfish reference, since we're talking about formatting, this is how I do commas with base R:

30298.78 %>% round %>% prettyNum(big.mark = ",")
[1] "30,299"

Best way to check for null values in Java?

Your last proposal is the best.

if (foo != null && foo.bar()) {
    etc...
}

Because:

  1. It is easier to read.
  2. It is safe : foo.bar() will never be executed if foo == null.
  3. It prevents from bad practice such as catching NullPointerExceptions (most of the time due to a bug in your code)
  4. It should execute as fast or even faster than other methods (even though I think it should be almost impossible to notice it).

How can I pass a file argument to my bash script using a Terminal command in Linux?

It'll be easier (and more "proper", see below) if you just run your script as

myprogram /path/to/file

Then you can access the path within the script as $1 (for argument #1, similarly $2 is argument #2, etc.)

file="$1"
externalprogram "$file" [other parameters]

Or just

externalprogram "$1" [otherparameters]

If you want to extract the path from something like --file=/path/to/file, that's usually done with the getopts shell function. But that's more complicated than just referencing $1, and besides, switches like --file= are intended to be optional. I'm guessing your script requires a file name to be provided, so it doesn't make sense to pass it in an option.

how to get the value of a textarea in jquery?

You don't need to use textarea#message

Sending email from Command-line via outlook without having to click send

Send SMS/Text Messages from Command Line with VBScript!

If VBA meets the rules for VB Script then it can be called from command line by simply placing it into a text file - in this case there's no need to specifically open Outlook.

I had a need to send automated text messages to myself from the command line, so I used the code below, which is just a compressed version of @Geoff's answer above.

Most mobile phone carriers worldwide provide an email address "version" of your mobile phone number. For example in Canada with Rogers or Chatr Wireless, an email sent to <YourPhoneNumber> @pcs.rogers.com will be immediately delivered to your Rogers/Chatr phone as a text message.

* You may need to "authorize" the first message on your phone, and some carriers may charge an additional fee for theses message although as far as I know, all Canadian carriers provide this little-known service for free. Check your carrier's website for details.

There are further instructions and various compiled lists of worldwide carrier's Email-to-Text addresses available online such as this and this and this.


Code & Instructions

  1. Copy the code below and paste into a new file in your favorite text editor.
  2. Save the file with any name with a .VBS extension, such as TextMyself.vbs.

That's all!
Just double-click the file to send a test message, or else run it from a batch file using START.

Sub SendMessage()
    Const EmailToSMSAddy = "[email protected]"
    Dim objOutlookRecip
    With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
        Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(EmailToSMSAddy)
        objOutlookRecip.Type = 1
        .Subject = "The computer needs your attention!"
        .Body = "Go see why Windows Command Line is texting you!"
        .Save
        .Send
    End With
End Sub

Example Batch File Usage:

START x:\mypath\TextMyself.vbs

Of course there are endless possible ways this could be adapted and customized to suit various practical or creative needs.

Getting IP address of client

As @martin and this answer explained, it is complicated. There is no bullet-proof way of getting the client's ip address.

The best that you can do is to try to parse "X-Forwarded-For" and rely on request.getRemoteAddr();

public static String getClientIpAddress(HttpServletRequest request) {
    String xForwardedForHeader = request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For");
    if (xForwardedForHeader == null) {
        return request.getRemoteAddr();
    } else {
        // As of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For
        // The general format of the field is: X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2 ...
        // we only want the client
        return new StringTokenizer(xForwardedForHeader, ",").nextToken().trim();
    }
}

Datetime in where clause

You don't say which database you are using but in MS SQL Server it would be

WHERE DateField = {d '2008-12-20'}

If it is a timestamp field then you'll need a range:

WHERE DateField BETWEEN {ts '2008-12-20 00:00:00'} AND {ts '2008-12-20 23:59:59'}

Concrete Javascript Regex for Accented Characters (Diacritics)

What about this?

^([a-zA-Z]|[à-ú]|[À-Ú])+$

It will match every word with accented characters or not.

Is it possible to run .php files on my local computer?

Sure you just need to setup a local web server. Check out XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

That will get you up and running in about 10 minutes.

There is now a way to run php locally without installing a server: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21872484/672229


Yes but the files need to be processed. For example you can install test servers like mamp / lamp / wamp depending on your plateform.

Basically you need apache / php running.

How to set the "Content-Type ... charset" in the request header using a HTML link

This is not possible from HTML on. The closest what you can get is the accept-charset attribute of the <form>. Only MSIE browser adheres that, but even then it is doing it wrong (e.g. CP1252 is actually been used when it says that it has sent ISO-8859-1). Other browsers are fully ignoring it and they are using the charset as specified in the Content-Type header of the response. Setting the character encoding right is basically fully the responsiblity of the server side. The client side should just send it back in the same charset as the server has sent the response in.

To the point, you should really configure the character encoding stuff entirely from the server side on. To overcome the inability to edit URIEncoding attribute, someone here on SO wrote a (complex) filter: Detect the URI encoding automatically in Tomcat. You may find it useful as well (note: I haven't tested it).


Update: Noted should be that the meta tag as given in your question is ignored when the content is been transferred over HTTP. Instead, the HTTP response Content-Type header will be used to determine the content type and character encoding. You can determine the HTTP header with for example Firebug, in the Net panel.

Most efficient way to find mode in numpy array

If you want to use numpy only:

x = [-1, 2, 1, 3, 3]
vals,counts = np.unique(x, return_counts=True)

gives

(array([-1,  1,  2,  3]), array([1, 1, 1, 2]))

And extract it:

index = np.argmax(counts)
return vals[index]

UML diagram shapes missing on Visio 2013

Please check this KB article : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2259709 This issue occurs because Visio 2013 uses new UML and database modeling templates that are not used by Visio 2010 or by earlier versions of Visio. And it applies to both :

"Microsoft Visio Professional 2013" and "Microsoft Visio Standard 2013"

So upgrading to Pro might not help as well.

Requests (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.") Error in PyCharm requesting website

I use VSCode to edit and debug and the only solution that worked for me was to edit the environment variables in windows.. Apparently this causes issues but I'm not sure what they are.

Running from the Anaconda prompt (as suggested by sayth) was NOT an option for me. Or perhaps the suggestion was to run the anaconda prompt and the from the anaconda prompt somehow start VSCode. Doesn't sound like a reasonable request.

This appears to be a long running chronic issue without a definitive global answer that works for everyone.

How to use shell commands in Makefile

With:

FILES = $(shell ls)

indented underneath all like that, it's a build command. So this expands $(shell ls), then tries to run the command FILES ....

If FILES is supposed to be a make variable, these variables need to be assigned outside the recipe portion, e.g.:

FILES = $(shell ls)
all:
        echo $(FILES)

Of course, that means that FILES will be set to "output from ls" before running any of the commands that create the .tgz files. (Though as Kaz notes the variable is re-expanded each time, so eventually it will include the .tgz files; some make variants have FILES := ... to avoid this, for efficiency and/or correctness.1)

If FILES is supposed to be a shell variable, you can set it but you need to do it in shell-ese, with no spaces, and quoted:

all:
        FILES="$(shell ls)"

However, each line is run by a separate shell, so this variable will not survive to the next line, so you must then use it immediately:

        FILES="$(shell ls)"; echo $$FILES

This is all a bit silly since the shell will expand * (and other shell glob expressions) for you in the first place, so you can just:

        echo *

as your shell command.

Finally, as a general rule (not really applicable to this example): as esperanto notes in comments, using the output from ls is not completely reliable (some details depend on file names and sometimes even the version of ls; some versions of ls attempt to sanitize output in some cases). Thus, as l0b0 and idelic note, if you're using GNU make you can use $(wildcard) and $(subst ...) to accomplish everything inside make itself (avoiding any "weird characters in file name" issues). (In sh scripts, including the recipe portion of makefiles, another method is to use find ... -print0 | xargs -0 to avoid tripping over blanks, newlines, control characters, and so on.)


1The GNU Make documentation notes further that POSIX make added ::= assignment in 2012. I have not found a quick reference link to a POSIX document for this, nor do I know off-hand which make variants support ::= assignment, although GNU make does today, with the same meaning as :=, i.e., do the assignment right now with expansion.

Note that VAR := $(shell command args...) can also be spelled VAR != command args... in several make variants, including all modern GNU and BSD variants as far as I know. These other variants do not have $(shell) so using VAR != command args... is superior in both being shorter and working in more variants.

Jquery validation plugin - TypeError: $(...).validate is not a function

for me, the problem was from require('jquery-validation') i added in the begging of that js file which Validate method used which is necessary as an npm module

unfortunately, when web pack compiles the js files, they aren't in order, so that the validate method is before defining it! and the error comes

so better to use another js file for compiling this library or use local validate method file or even using CDN but in all cases make sure you attached jquery before

Why do we need C Unions?

It's difficult to think of a specific occasion when you'd need this type of flexible structure, perhaps in a message protocol where you would be sending different sizes of messages, but even then there are probably better and more programmer friendly alternatives.

Unions are a bit like variant types in other languages - they can only hold one thing at a time, but that thing could be an int, a float etc. depending on how you declare it.

For example:

typedef union MyUnion MYUNION;
union MyUnion
{
   int MyInt;
   float MyFloat;
};

MyUnion will only contain an int OR a float, depending on which you most recently set. So doing this:

MYUNION u;
u.MyInt = 10;

u now holds an int equal to 10;

u.MyFloat = 1.0;

u now holds a float equal to 1.0. It no longer holds an int. Obviously now if you try and do printf("MyInt=%d", u.MyInt); then you're probably going to get an error, though I'm unsure of the specific behaviour.

The size of the union is dictated by the size of its largest field, in this case the float.

Find which commit is currently checked out in Git

You have at least 5 different ways to view the commit you currently have checked out into your working copy during a git bisect session (note that options 1-4 will also work when you're not doing a bisect):

  1. git show.
  2. git log -1.
  3. Bash prompt.
  4. git status.
  5. git bisect visualize.

I'll explain each option in detail below.

Option 1: git show

As explained in this answer to the general question of how to determine which commit you currently have checked-out (not just during git bisect), you can use git show with the -s option to suppress patch output:

$ git show --oneline -s
a9874fd Merge branch 'epic-feature'

Option 2: git log -1

You can also simply do git log -1 to find out which commit you're currently on.

$ git log -1 --oneline
c1abcde Add feature-003

Option 3: Bash prompt

In Git version 1.8.3+ (or was it an earlier version?), if you have your Bash prompt configured to show the current branch you have checked out into your working copy, then it will also show you the current commit you have checked out during a bisect session or when you're in a "detached HEAD" state. In the example below, I currently have c1abcde checked out:

# Prompt during a bisect
user ~ (c1abcde...)|BISECTING $

# Prompt at detached HEAD state 
user ~ (c1abcde...) $

Option 4: git status

Also as of Git version 1.8.3+ (and possibly earlier, again not sure), running git status will also show you what commit you have checked out during a bisect and when you're in detached HEAD state:

$ git status
# HEAD detached at c1abcde <== RIGHT HERE

Option 5: git bisect visualize

Finally, while you're doing a git bisect, you can also simply use git bisect visualize or its built-in alias git bisect view to launch gitk, so that you can graphically view which commit you are on, as well as which commits you have marked as bad and good so far. I'm pretty sure this existed well before version 1.8.3, I'm just not sure in which version it was introduced:

git bisect visualize 
git bisect view # shorter, means same thing

SELECT only rows that contain only alphanumeric characters in MySQL

There is also this:

select m from table where not regexp_like(m, '^[0-9]\d+$')

which selects the rows that contains characters from the column you want (which is m in the example but you can change).

Most of the combinations don't work properly in Oracle platforms but this does. Sharing for future reference.

JPA Native Query select and cast object

First of all create a model POJO

import javax.persistence.*;
@Entity
@Table(name = "sys_std_user")
public class StdUser {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "class_id")
    public int classId;
    @Column(name = "user_name")
    public String userName;
    //getter,setter
}

Controller

import com.example.demo.models.*;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceUnit;
import java.util.List;

@RestController
public class HomeController {
    @PersistenceUnit
    private EntityManagerFactory emf;

    @GetMapping("/")
    public List<StdUser> actionIndex() {
        EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager(); // Without parameter
        List<StdUser> arr_cust = (List<StdUser>)em
                .createQuery("SELECT c FROM StdUser c")
                .getResultList();
        return arr_cust;
    }

    @GetMapping("/paramter")
    public List actionJoin() {
        int id = 3;
        String userName = "Suresh Shrestha";
        EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager(); // With parameter
        List arr_cust = em
                .createQuery("SELECT c FROM StdUser c WHERE c.classId = :Id ANd c.userName = :UserName")
                .setParameter("Id",id)
                .setParameter("UserName",userName)
                .getResultList();
        return arr_cust;
    }
}

REST API Authentication

I've been using the JWT authentication. Works just fine in my application.

There is an authentication method that will require the user credentials. This method validates the credentials and returns an access token in case of success.

This token must be sent to every other method in my Web API in the header of the request.

It's pretty easy to implement, and very easy to test.

How to install/start Postman native v4.10.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit?

Yes, you can install Postman using these commands:

wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt
rm postman.tar.gz
sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

You can also get Postman to show up in the Unity Launcher:

cat > ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop <<EOL
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Postman
Exec=postman
Icon=/opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
EOL

You don't need node.js or any other dependencies with a standard Ubuntu dev install.

See more at our blog post at https://blog.bluematador.com/posts/postman-how-to-install-on-ubuntu-1604/.

EDIT: Changed icon.png location. Latest versions of Postman changed their directory structure slightly.

How to get the day of week and the month of the year?

Unfortunately, Date object in javascript returns information about months only in numeric format. The faster thing you can do is to create an array of months (they are not supposed to change frequently!) and create a function which returns the name based on the number.

Something like this:

function getMonthNameByMonthNumber(mm) { 
   var months = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"); 

   return months[mm]; 
}

Your code therefore becomes:

var prnDt = "Printed on Thursday, " + now.getDate() + " " + getMonthNameByMonthNumber(now.getMonth) + " "+  now.getFullYear() + " at " + h + ":" + m + ":" s;

req.body empty on posts

Make sure ["key" : "type", "value" : "json"] & ["key":"Content-Type", "value":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"] is in your postman request headers

'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Nodejs's installation adds nodejs to the path in the environment properties incorrectly.

By default it adds the following to the path:

The ending \ is unnecessary. Remove the \ and everything will be beautiful again.

How does tuple comparison work in Python?

I had some confusion before regarding integer comparsion, so I will explain it to be more beginner friendly with an example

a = ('A','B','C') # see it as the string "ABC" b = ('A','B','D')

A is converted to its corresponding ASCII ord('A') #65 same for other elements

So, >> a>b # True you can think of it as comparing between string (It is exactly, actually)

the same thing goes for integers too.

x = (1,2,2) # see it the string "123" y = (1,2,3) x > y # False

because (1 is not greater than 1, move to the next, 2 is not greater than 2, move to the next 2 is less than three -lexicographically -)

The key point is mentioned in the answer above

think of it as an element is before another alphabetically not element is greater than an element and in this case consider all the tuple elements as one string.

How do I prevent the padding property from changing width or height in CSS?

when I add the padding-left property, the width of the DIV changes to 220px

Yes, that is exactly according to the standards. That's how it's supposed to work.

Let's say I create another DIV named anotherdiv exactly the same as newdiv, and put it inside of newdiv but newdiv has no padding and anotherdiv has padding-left: 20px. I get the same thing, newdiv's width will be 220px;

No, newdiv will remain 200px wide.

Adding a SVN repository in Eclipse

Necropost, but helpful: I came across this problem with an RA request failed since the files "already existed on the server" but wouldn't sync with my repository. I went to the source on my disk, deleted there, refreshed my Eclipse view, and updated the source. Error gone.

Android Studio cannot resolve R in imported project?

I had the same problem and got it fixed by deleting an extra library.

To do try this solution go to File > Project Structure (on a mac you can use the command "Apple ;")

Then select app on the left tab. Go to the dependencies tab and delete the extra library.

Use a LIKE statement on SQL Server XML Datatype

Another option is to search the XML as a string by converting it to a string and then using LIKE. However as a computed column can't be part of a WHERE clause you need to wrap it in another SELECT like this:

SELECT * FROM
    (SELECT *, CONVERT(varchar(MAX), [COLUMNA]) as [XMLDataString] FROM TABLE) x
WHERE [XMLDataString] like '%Test%'

Android and setting width and height programmatically in dp units

simplest way(and even works from api 1) that tested is:

getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.example_dimen);

From documentations:

Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID for use as a size in raw pixels. This is the same as getDimension(int), except the returned value is converted to integer pixels for use as a size. A size conversion involves rounding the base value, and ensuring that a non-zero base value is at least one pixel in size.

Yes it rounding the value but it's not very bad(just in odd values on hdpi and ldpi devices need to add a little value when ldpi is not very common) I tested in a xxhdpi device that converts 4dp to 16(pixels) and that is true.

Plot a line graph, error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : 'x' and 'y' lengths differ

plot(t) is in this case the same as

plot(t[[1]], t[[2]])

As the error message says, x and y differ in length and that is because you plot a list with length 4 against 1:

> length(t)
[1] 4
> length(1)
[1] 1

In your second example you plot a list with elements named x and y, both vectors of length 2, so plot plots these two vectors.

Edit:

If you want to plot lines use

plot(t, type="l")

Removing fields from struct or hiding them in JSON Response

I created this function to convert struct to JSON string by ignoring some fields. Hope it will help.

func GetJSONString(obj interface{}, ignoreFields ...string) (string, error) {
    toJson, err := json.Marshal(obj)
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }

    if len(ignoreFields) == 0 {
        return string(toJson), nil
    }

    toMap := map[string]interface{}{}
    json.Unmarshal([]byte(string(toJson)), &toMap)

    for _, field := range ignoreFields {
        delete(toMap, field)
    }

    toJson, err = json.Marshal(toMap)
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }
    return string(toJson), nil
}

How to make a <svg> element expand or contract to its parent container?

@robertc has it right, but you also need to notice that svg, #container causes the svg to be scaled exponentially for anything but 100% (once for #container and once for svg).

In other words, if I applied 50% h/w to both elements, it's actually 50% of 50%, or .5 * .5, which equals .25, or 25% scale.

One selector works fine when used as @robertc suggests.

svg {
  width:50%;
  height:50%;
}

How to install the Six module in Python2.7

I had the same question for macOS.

But the root cause was not installing Six. My macOS shipped Python version 2.7 was being usurped by a Python2 version I inherited by installing a package via brew.

I fixed my issue with: $ brew uninstall python@2

Some context on here: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1061

What is thread Safe in java?

As Seth stated thread safe means that a method or class instance can be used by multiple threads at the same time without any problems occuring.

Consider the following method:

private int myInt = 0;
public int AddOne()
{
    int tmp = myInt;
    tmp = tmp + 1;
    myInt = tmp;
    return tmp;
}

Now thread A and thread B both would like to execute AddOne(). but A starts first and reads the value of myInt (0) into tmp. Now for some reason the scheduler decides to halt thread A and defer execution to thread B. Thread B now also reads the value of myInt (still 0) into it's own variable tmp. Thread B finishes the entire method, so in the end myInt = 1. And 1 is returned. Now it's Thread A's turn again. Thread A continues. And adds 1 to tmp (tmp was 0 for thread A). And then saves this value in myInt. myInt is again 1.

So in this case the method AddOne() was called two times, but because the method was not implemented in a thread safe way the value of myInt is not 2, as expected, but 1 because the second thread read the variable myInt before the first thread finished updating it.

Creating thread safe methods is very hard in non trivial cases. And there are quite a few techniques. In Java you can mark a method as synchronized, this means that only one thread can execute that method at a given time. The other threads wait in line. This makes a method thread safe, but if there is a lot of work to be done in a method, then this wastes a lot of time. Another technique is to 'mark only a small part of a method as synchronized' by creating a lock or semaphore, and locking this small part (usually called the critical section). There are even some methods that are implemented as lockless thread safe, which means that they are built in such a way that multiple threads can race through them at the same time without ever causing problems, this can be the case when a method only executes one atomic call. Atomic calls are calls that can't be interrupted and can only be done by one thread at a time.

How do I get total physical memory size using PowerShell without WMI?

For those coming here from a later day and age and one a working solution:

(Get-WmiObject -class "cim_physicalmemory" | Measure-Object -Property Capacity -Sum).Sum

this will give the total sum of bytes.

$bytes = (Get-WmiObject -class "cim_physicalmemory" | Measure-Object -Property Capacity -Sum).Sum

$kb = $bytes / 1024
$mb = $bytes / 1024 / 1024
$gb = $bytes / 1024 / 1024 / 1024

I tested this up to windows server 2008 (winver 6.0) even there this command seems to work

How to read a value from the Windows registry

This console app will list all the values and their data from a registry key for most of the potential registry values. There's some weird ones not often used. If you need to support all of them, expand from this example while referencing this Registry Value Type documentation.

How do I programmatically click on an element in JavaScript?

I used KooiInc's function listed above but I had to use two different input types one 'button' for IE and one 'submit' for FireFox. I am not exactly sure why but it works.

// HTML

<input type="button" id="btnEmailHidden" style="display:none" />
<input type="submit" id="btnEmailHidden2" style="display:none" />

// in JavaScript

var hiddenBtn = document.getElementById("btnEmailHidden");

if (hiddenBtn.fireEvent) {
    hiddenBtn.fireEvent('onclick');
    hiddenBtn[eType]();
}
else {
    // dispatch for firefox + others
    var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvent');
    evObj.initEvent(eType, true, true);
    var hiddenBtn2 = document.getElementById("btnEmailHidden2");
    hiddenBtn2.dispatchEvent(evObj);
}

I have search and tried many suggestions but this is what ended up working. If I had some more time I would have liked to investigate why submit works with FF and button with IE but that would be a luxury right now so on to the next problem.

bad operand types for binary operator "&" java

You have to be more precise, using parentheses, otherwise Java will not use the order of operands that you want it to use.

if ((a[0] & 1 == 0) && (a[1] & 1== 0) && (a[2] & 1== 0)){

Becomes

if (((a[0] & 1) == 0) && ((a[1] & 1) == 0) && ((a[2] & 1) == 0)){

Regular expression for excluding special characters

Do you really want to blacklist specific characters or rather whitelist the allowed charachters?

I assume that you actually want the latter. This is pretty simple (add any additional symbols to whitelist into the [\-] group):

^(?:\p{L}\p{M}*|[\-])*$

Edit: Optimized the pattern with the input from the comments

recyclerview No adapter attached; skipping layout

Can you make sure that you are calling these statements from the "main" thread outside of a delayed asynchronous callback (for example inside the onCreate() method). As soon as I call the same statements from a "delayed" method. In my case a ResultCallback, I get the same message.

In my Fragment, calling the code below from inside a ResultCallback method produces the same message. After moving the code to the onConnected() method within my app, the message was gone...

LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
llm.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
list.setLayoutManager(llm);
list.setAdapter( adapter );

Can't use Swift classes inside Objective-C

After doing everything above, I still got errors. My problem ended up being that the Swift files I needed weren't added to the bundle resources for some reason.

I fixed this by going to [MyTarget] > Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources, then clicked the plus button and added the Swift files.

How to make a phone call programmatically?

In the selected answer, there is not check for marshmallow permission. It will not work directly in marshmallow 6.0 or above device.

I know I am too late but this question has large vote so I thought it will help to others in future.

In marshmallow devices we need to take run time permission for call...

Here is example to make call in marshmallow or above.

Adb Devices can't find my phone

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

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

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

Defining TypeScript callback type

I came across the same error when trying to add the callback to an event listener. Strangely, setting the callback type to EventListener solved it. It looks more elegant than defining a whole function signature as a type, but I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this.

class driving {
    // the answer from this post - this works
    // private callback: () => void; 

    // this also works!
    private callback:EventListener;

    constructor(){
        this.callback = () => this.startJump();
        window.addEventListener("keydown", this.callback);
    }

    startJump():void {
        console.log("jump!");
        window.removeEventListener("keydown", this.callback);
    }
}

Yes, you either need to do this onload or in a <script> tag after the closing </body> tag, when the lc element is already found in the document's DOM tree.

How can I return pivot table output in MySQL?

This basically is a pivot table.

A nice tutorial on how to achieve this can be found here: http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/qrytip.php?id=78

I advise reading this post and adapt this solution to your needs.

Update

After the link above is currently not available any longer I feel obliged to provide some additional information for all of you searching for mysql pivot answers in here. It really had a vast amount of information, and I won't put everything from there in here (even more since I just don't want to copy their vast knowledge), but I'll give some advice on how to deal with pivot tables the sql way generally with the example from peku who asked the question in the first place.

Maybe the link comes back soon, I'll keep an eye out for it.

The spreadsheet way...

Many people just use a tool like MSExcel, OpenOffice or other spreadsheet-tools for this purpose. This is a valid solution, just copy the data over there and use the tools the GUI offer to solve this.

But... this wasn't the question, and it might even lead to some disadvantages, like how to get the data into the spreadsheet, problematic scaling and so on.

The SQL way...

Given his table looks something like this:

CREATE TABLE `test_pivot` (
  `pid` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `company_name` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL,
  `action` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL,
  `pagecount` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`pid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

Now look into his/her desired table:

company_name    EMAIL   PRINT 1 pages   PRINT 2 pages   PRINT 3 pages
-------------------------------------------------------------
CompanyA        0       0               1               3
CompanyB        1       1               2               0

The rows (EMAIL, PRINT x pages) resemble conditions. The main grouping is by company_name.

In order to set up the conditions this rather shouts for using the CASE-statement. In order to group by something, well, use ... GROUP BY.

The basic SQL providing this pivot can look something like this:

SELECT  P.`company_name`,
    COUNT(
        CASE 
            WHEN P.`action`='EMAIL' 
            THEN 1 
            ELSE NULL 
        END
    ) AS 'EMAIL',
    COUNT(
        CASE 
            WHEN P.`action`='PRINT' AND P.`pagecount` = '1' 
            THEN P.`pagecount` 
            ELSE NULL 
        END
    ) AS 'PRINT 1 pages',
    COUNT(
        CASE 
            WHEN P.`action`='PRINT' AND P.`pagecount` = '2' 
            THEN P.`pagecount` 
            ELSE NULL 
        END
    ) AS 'PRINT 2 pages',
    COUNT(
        CASE 
            WHEN P.`action`='PRINT' AND P.`pagecount` = '3' 
            THEN P.`pagecount` 
            ELSE NULL 
        END
    ) AS 'PRINT 3 pages'
FROM    test_pivot P
GROUP BY P.`company_name`;

This should provide the desired result very fast. The major downside for this approach, the more rows you want in your pivot table, the more conditions you need to define in your SQL statement.

This can be dealt with, too, therefore people tend to use prepared statements, routines, counters and such.

Web scraping with Java

mechanize for Java would be a good fit for this, and as Wadjy Essam mentioned it uses JSoup for the HMLT. mechanize is a stageful HTTP/HTML client that supports navigation, form submissions, and page scraping.

ValueError: Length of values does not match length of index | Pandas DataFrame.unique()

The error comes up when you are trying to assign a list of numpy array of different length to a data frame, and it can be reproduced as follows:

A data frame of four rows:

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1,2,3,4]})

Now trying to assign a list/array of two elements to it:

df['B'] = [3,4]   # or df['B'] = np.array([3,4])

Both errors out:

ValueError: Length of values does not match length of index

Because the data frame has four rows but the list and array has only two elements.

Work around Solution (use with caution): convert the list/array to a pandas Series, and then when you do assignment, missing index in the Series will be filled with NaN:

df['B'] = pd.Series([3,4])

df
#   A     B
#0  1   3.0
#1  2   4.0
#2  3   NaN          # NaN because the value at index 2 and 3 doesn't exist in the Series
#3  4   NaN

For your specific problem, if you don't care about the index or the correspondence of values between columns, you can reset index for each column after dropping the duplicates:

df.apply(lambda col: col.drop_duplicates().reset_index(drop=True))

#   A     B
#0  1   1.0
#1  2   5.0
#2  7   9.0
#3  8   NaN

I cannot start SQL Server browser

My approach was similar to @SoftwareFactor, but different, perhaps because I'm running a different OS, Windows Server 2012. These steps worked for me.

Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services, right-click SQL Server Browser > Properties > General tab, change Startup type to Automatic, click Apply button, then click Start button in Service Status area.
