How to change folder with git bash?

Go to the directory manually and do right click → Select 'Git bash' option.

Git bash terminal automatically opens with the intended directory. For example, go to your project folder. While in the folder, right click and select the option and 'Git bash'. It will open automatically with /c/project.

How can I set the initial value of Select2 when using AJAX?

https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/4272 only this solved my problem. even you set default value by option, you have to format the object, which has the text attribute and this is what you want to show in your option. so, your format function have to use || to choose the attribute which is not empty.

Maintain aspect ratio of div but fill screen width and height in CSS?

Use a CSS media query @media together with the CSS viewport units vw and vh to adapt to the aspect ratio of the viewport. This has the benefit of updating other properties, like font-size, too.

This fiddle demonstrates the fixed aspect ratio for the div, and the text matching its scale exactly.

Initial size is based on full width:

div {
  width: 100vw; 
  height: calc(100vw * 9 / 16);

  font-size: 10vw;

  /* align center */
  margin: auto;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px;

  /* visual indicators */
  background:
    url(data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAgAUAIABAB1ziv///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAACABQAAAIHhI+pa+EPCwA7) repeat-y center top,
    url(data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhFAACAIABAIodZP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAAUAAIAAAIIhI8Zu+nIVgEAOw==) repeat-x left center,
    silver;
}

Then, when the viewport is wider than the desired aspect ratio, switch to height as base measure:

/* 100 * 16/9 = 177.778 */
@media (min-width: 177.778vh) {
  div {
    height: 100vh;
    width: calc(100vh * 16 / 9);

    font-size: calc(10vh * 16 / 9);
  }
}

This is very similar in vein to the max-width and max-height approach by @Danield, just more flexible.

Matplotlib 2 Subplots, 1 Colorbar

As pointed out in other answers, the idea is usually to define an axes for the colorbar to reside in. There are various ways of doing so; one that hasn't been mentionned yet would be to directly specify the colorbar axes at subplot creation with plt.subplots(). The advantage is that the axes position does not need to be manually set and in all cases with automatic aspect the colorbar will be exactly the same height as the subplots. Even in many cases where images are used the result will be satisfying as shown below.

When using plt.subplots(), the use of gridspec_kw argument allows to make the colorbar axes much smaller than the other axes.

fig, (ax, ax2, cax) = plt.subplots(ncols=3,figsize=(5.5,3), 
                  gridspec_kw={"width_ratios":[1,1, 0.05]})

Example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(1)

fig, (ax, ax2, cax) = plt.subplots(ncols=3,figsize=(5.5,3), 
                  gridspec_kw={"width_ratios":[1,1, 0.05]})
fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.3)
im  = ax.imshow(np.random.rand(11,8), vmin=0, vmax=1)
im2 = ax2.imshow(np.random.rand(11,8), vmin=0, vmax=1)
ax.set_ylabel("y label")

fig.colorbar(im, cax=cax)

plt.show()

enter image description here

This works well, if the plots' aspect is autoscaled or the images are shrunk due to their aspect in the width direction (as in the above). If, however, the images are wider then high, the result would look as follows, which might be undesired.

enter image description here

A solution to fix the colorbar height to the subplot height would be to use mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator.InsetPosition to set the colorbar axes relative to the image subplot axes.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(1)
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator import InsetPosition

fig, (ax, ax2, cax) = plt.subplots(ncols=3,figsize=(7,3), 
                  gridspec_kw={"width_ratios":[1,1, 0.05]})
fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.3)
im  = ax.imshow(np.random.rand(11,16), vmin=0, vmax=1)
im2 = ax2.imshow(np.random.rand(11,16), vmin=0, vmax=1)
ax.set_ylabel("y label")

ip = InsetPosition(ax2, [1.05,0,0.05,1]) 
cax.set_axes_locator(ip)

fig.colorbar(im, cax=cax, ax=[ax,ax2])

plt.show()

How to set lifetime of session

Since most sessions are stored in a COOKIE (as per the above comments and solutions) it is important to make sure the COOKIE is flagged as a SECURE one (front C#):

myHttpOnlyCookie.HttpOnly = true;

and/or vie php.ini (default TRUE since php 5.3):

session.cookie_httponly = True

How do I format a String in an email so Outlook will print the line breaks?

You need to send HTML emails. With <br />s in the email, you will always have your line breaks.

Programmatically go back to previous ViewController in Swift

for swift 3 you just need to write the following line of code

_ = navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)

Sending GET request with Authentication headers using restTemplate

All of these answers appear to be incomplete and/or kludges. Looking at the RestTemplate interface, it sure looks like it is intended to have a ClientHttpRequestFactory injected into it, and then that requestFactory will be used to create the request, including any customizations of headers, body, and request params.

You either need a universal ClientHttpRequestFactory to inject into a single shared RestTemplate or else you need to get a new template instance via new RestTemplate(myHttpRequestFactory).

Unfortunately, it looks somewhat non-trivial to create such a factory, even when you just want to set a single Authorization header, which is pretty frustrating considering what a common requirement that likely is, but at least it allows easy use if, for example, your Authorization header can be created from data contained in a Spring-Security Authorization object, then you can create a factory that sets the outgoing AuthorizationHeader on every request by doing SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthorization() and then populating the header, with null checks as appropriate. Now all outbound rest calls made with that RestTemplate will have the correct Authorization header.

Without more emphasis placed on the HttpClientFactory mechanism, providing simple-to-overload base classes for common cases like adding a single header to requests, most of the nice convenience methods of RestTemplate end up being a waste of time, since they can only rarely be used.

I'd like to see something simple like this made available

@Configuration
public class MyConfig {
  @Bean
  public RestTemplate getRestTemplate() {
    return new RestTemplate(new AbstractHeaderRewritingHttpClientFactory() {
        @Override
        public HttpHeaders modifyHeaders(HttpHeaders headers) {
          headers.addHeader("Authorization", computeAuthString());
          return headers;
        }
        public String computeAuthString() {
          // do something better than this, but you get the idea
          return SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthorization().getCredential();
        }
    });
  }
}

At the moment, the interface of the available ClientHttpRequestFactory's are harder to interact with than that. Even better would be an abstract wrapper for existing factory implementations which makes them look like a simpler object like AbstractHeaderRewritingRequestFactory for the purposes of replacing just that one piece of functionality. Right now, they are very general purpose such that even writing those wrappers is a complex piece of research.

How to change background color in the Notepad++ text editor?

Notepad++ changed in the past couple of years, and it requires a few extra steps to set up a dark theme.

The answer by Amit-IO is good, but the example theme that is needed has stopped being maintained. The DraculaTheme is active. Just download the XML and put it in a themes folder. You may need Admin access in Windows.

A CORS POST request works from plain JavaScript, but why not with jQuery?

Modify your Jquery in following way:

$.ajax({
            url: someurl,
            contentType: 'application/json',
            data: JSONObject,
            headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*' }, //add this line
            dataType: 'json',
            type: 'POST',                
            success: function (Data) {....}
});

Random string generation with upper case letters and digits

>>> import random
>>> str = []
>>> chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890'
>>> num = int(raw_input('How long do you want the string to be?  '))
How long do you want the string to be?  10
>>> for k in range(1, num+1):
...    str.append(random.choice(chars))
...
>>> str = "".join(str)
>>> str
'tm2JUQ04CK'

The random.choice function picks a random entry in a list. You also create a list so that you can append the character in the for statement. At the end str is ['t', 'm', '2', 'J', 'U', 'Q', '0', '4', 'C', 'K'], but the str = "".join(str) takes care of that, leaving you with 'tm2JUQ04CK'.

Hope this helps!

How can I decrypt a password hash in PHP?

The passwords cannot be decrypted as will makes a vulnerability for users. So, you can simply use password_verify() method to compare the passwords.

if(password_verify($upass, $userRow['user_pass'])){
     //code for redirecting to login screen }

where, $upass is password entered by user and $userRow['user_pass'] is user_pass field in database which is encrypted by password_hash() function.

insert multiple rows into DB2 database

UPDATE - Even less wordy version

INSERT INTO tableName (col1, col2, col3, col4, col5) 
VALUES ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5'),
       ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5'),
       ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5'),
       ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5')

The following also works for DB2 and is slightly less wordy

INSERT INTO tableName (col1, col2, col3, col4, col5) 
VALUES ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5') UNION ALL
VALUES ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5') UNION ALL
VALUES ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5') UNION ALL
VALUES ('val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4', 'val5')

Recursively look for files with a specific extension

Though using find command can be useful here, the shell itself provides options to achieve this requirement without any third party tools. The bash shell provides an extended glob support option using which you can get the file names under recursive paths that match with the extensions you want.

The extended option is extglob which needs to be set using the shopt option as below. The options are enabled with the -s support and disabled with he -u flag. Additionally you could use couple of options more i.e. nullglob in which an unmatched glob is swept away entirely, replaced with a set of zero words. And globstar that allows to recurse through all the directories

shopt -s extglob nullglob globstar

Now all you need to do is form the glob expression to include the files of a certain extension which you can do as below. We use an array to populate the glob results because when quoted properly and expanded, the filenames with special characters would remain intact and not get broken due to word-splitting by the shell.

For example to list all the *.csv files in the recursive paths

fileList=(**/*.csv)

The option ** is to recurse through the sub-folders and *.csv is glob expansion to include any file of the extensions mentioned. Now for printing the actual files, just do

printf '%s\n' "${fileList[@]}"

Using an array and doing a proper quoted expansion is the right way when used in shell scripts, but for interactive use, you could simply use ls with the glob expression as

ls -1 -- **/*.csv

This could very well be expanded to match multiple files i.e. file ending with multiple extension (i.e. similar to adding multiple flags in find command). For example consider a case of needing to get all recursive image files i.e. of extensions *.gif, *.png and *.jpg, all you need to is

ls -1 -- **/+(*.jpg|*.gif|*.png)

This could very well be expanded to have negate results also. With the same syntax, one could use the results of the glob to exclude files of certain type. Assume you want to exclude file names with the extensions above, you could do

excludeResults=()
excludeResults=(**/!(*.jpg|*.gif|*.png))
printf '%s\n' "${excludeResults[@]}"

The construct !() is a negate operation to not include any of the file extensions listed inside and | is an alternation operator just as used in the Extended Regular Expressions library to do an OR match of the globs.

Note that these extended glob support is not available in the POSIX bourne shell and its purely specific to recent versions of bash. So if your are considering portability of the scripts running across POSIX and bash shells, this option wouldn't be right.

Find and replace specific text characters across a document with JS

ECMAScript 2015+ approach

Pitfalls when solving this task

This seems like an easy task, but you have to take care of several things:

  • Simply replacing the entire HTML kills all DOM functionality, like event listeners
  • Replacing the HTML may also replace <script> or <style> contents, or HTML tags or attributes, which is not always desired
  • Changing the HTML may result in an attack
  • You may want to replace attributes like title and alt (in a controlled manner) as well

Guarding against attacks generally can’t be solved by using the approaches below. E.g. if a fetch call reads a URL from somewhere on the page, then sends a request to that URL, the functions below won’t stop that, since this scenario is inherently unsafe.

Replacing the text contents of all elements

This basically selects all elements that contain normal text, goes through their child nodes — among those are also text nodes —, seeks those text nodes out and replaces their contents.

You can optionally specify a different root target, e.g. replaceOnDocument(/€/g, "$", { target: someElement });; by default, the <body> is chosen.

const replaceOnDocument = (pattern, string, {target = document.body} = {}) => {
  // Handle `string` — see the last section
  [
    target,
    ...target.querySelectorAll("*:not(script):not(noscript):not(style)")
  ].forEach(({childNodes: [...nodes]}) => nodes
    .filter(({nodeType}) => nodeType === document.TEXT_NODE)
    .forEach((textNode) => textNode.textContent = textNode.textContent.replace(pattern, string)));
};

replaceOnDocument(/€/g, "$");

Replacing text nodes, element attributes and properties

Now, this is a little more complex: you need to check three cases: whether a node is a text node, whether it’s an element and its attribute should be replaced, or whether it’s an element and its property should be replaced. A replacer object provides methods for text nodes and for elements.

Before replacing attributes and properties, the replacer needs to check whether the element has a matching attribute; otherwise new attributes get created, undesirably. It also needs to check whether the targeted property is a string, since only strings can be replaced, or whether the matching property to the targeted attribute is not a function, since this may lead to an attack.

In the example below, you can see how to use the extended features: in the optional third argument, you may add an attrs property and a props property, which is an iterable (e.g. an array) each, for the attributes to be replaced and the properties to be replaced, respectively.

You’ll also notice that this snippet uses flatMap. If that’s not supported, use a polyfill or replace it by the reduceconcat, or mapreduceconcat construct, as seen in the linked documentation.

const replaceOnDocument = (() => {
    const replacer = {
      [document.TEXT_NODE](node, pattern, string){
        node.textContent = node.textContent.replace(pattern, string);
      },
      [document.ELEMENT_NODE](node, pattern, string, {attrs, props} = {}){
        attrs.forEach((attr) => {
          if(typeof node[attr] !== "function" && node.hasAttribute(attr)){
            node.setAttribute(attr, node.getAttribute(attr).replace(pattern, string));
          }
        });
        props.forEach((prop) => {
          if(typeof node[prop] === "string" && node.hasAttribute(prop)){
            node[prop] = node[prop].replace(pattern, string);
          }
        });
      }
    };

    return (pattern, string, {target = document.body, attrs: [...attrs] = [], props: [...props] = []} = {}) => {
      // Handle `string` — see the last section
      [
        target,
        ...[
          target,
          ...target.querySelectorAll("*:not(script):not(noscript):not(style)")
        ].flatMap(({childNodes: [...nodes]}) => nodes)
      ].filter(({nodeType}) => replacer.hasOwnProperty(nodeType))
        .forEach((node) => replacer[node.nodeType](node, pattern, string, {
          attrs,
          props
        }));
    };
})();

replaceOnDocument(/€/g, "$", {
  attrs: [
    "title",
    "alt",
    "onerror" // This will be ignored
  ],
  props: [
    "value" // Changing an `<input>`’s `value` attribute won’t change its current value, so the property needs to be accessed here
  ]
});

Replacing with HTML entities

If you need to make it work with HTML entities like &shy;, the above approaches will just literally produce the string &shy;, since that’s an HTML entity and will only work when assigning .innerHTML or using related methods.

So let’s solve it by passing the input string to something that accepts an HTML string: a new, temporary HTMLDocument. This is created by the DOMParser’s parseFromString method; in the end we read its documentElement’s textContent:

string = new DOMParser().parseFromString(string, "text/html").documentElement.textContent;

If you want to use this, choose one of the approaches above, depending on whether or not you want to replace HTML attributes and DOM properties in addition to text; then simply replace the comment // Handle `string` — see the last section by the above line.

Now you can use replaceOnDocument(/Güterzug/g, "G&uuml;ter&shy;zug");.

NB: If you don’t use the string handling code, you may also remove the { } around the arrow function body.

Note that this parses HTML entities but still disallows inserting actual HTML tags, since we’re reading only the textContent. This is also safe against most cases of : since we’re using parseFromString and the page’s document isn’t affected, no <script> gets downloaded and no onerror handler gets executed.

You should also consider using \xAD instead of &shy; directly in your JavaScript string, if it turns out to be simpler.

How to make custom error pages work in ASP.NET MVC 4

In web.config add this under system.webserver tag as below,

<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace">
  <remove statusCode="404"/>
  <remove statusCode="500"/>
  <error statusCode="404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Error/NotFound"/>
  <error statusCode="500" responseMode="ExecuteURL"path="/Error/ErrorPage"/>
</httpErrors>

and add a controller as,

public class ErrorController : Controller
{
    //
    // GET: /Error/
    [GET("/Error/NotFound")]
    public ActionResult NotFound()
    {
        Response.StatusCode = 404;

        return View();
    }

    [GET("/Error/ErrorPage")]
    public ActionResult ErrorPage()
    {
        Response.StatusCode = 500;

        return View();
    }
}

and add their respected views, this will work definitely I guess for all.

What is the default font of Sublime Text?

To add to MattDMo's answer, you can get the exact font that's used on Linux like so (the example is from Xubuntu 14.04):

$ fc-match Monospace

c - warning: implicit declaration of function ‘printf’

You need to include the appropriate header

#include <stdio.h>

If you're not sure which header a standard function is defined in, the function's man page will state this.

Fastest way to tell if two files have the same contents in Unix/Linux?

Try also to use the cksum command:

chk1=`cksum <file1> | awk -F" " '{print $1}'`
chk2=`cksum <file2> | awk -F" " '{print $1}'`

if [ $chk1 -eq $chk2 ]
then
  echo "File is identical"
else
  echo "File is not identical"
fi

The cksum command will output the byte count of a file. See 'man cksum'.

Entity Framework code-first: migration fails with update-database, forces unneccessary(?) add-migration

Entity Framework does have some issues around identity fields.

You can't add GUID identity on existing table

Migrations: does not detect changes to DatabaseGeneratedOption

Reverse engineering does not mark GUID keys with default NEWSEQUENTIALID() as store generated identities

None of these describes your issue exactly and the Down() method in your extra migration is interesting because it appears to be attempting to remove IDENTITY from the column when your CREATE TABLE in the initial migration appears to set it!

Furthermore, if you use Update-Database -Script or Update-Database -Verbose to view the sql that is run from these AlterColumn methods you will see that the sql is identical in Up and Down, and actually does nothing. IDENTITY remains unchanged (for the current version - EF 6.0.2 and below) - as described in the first 2 issues I linked to.

I think you should delete the redundant code in your extra migration and live with an empty migration for now. And you could subscribe to/vote for the issues to be addressed.

printf formatting (%d versus %u)

You can find a list of formatting escapes on this page.

%d is a signed integer, while %u is an unsigned integer. Pointers (when treated as numbers) are usually non-negative.

If you actually want to display a pointer, use the %p format specifier.

Original Answer (May 2010)

Note: This solution is outdated. It only works on Android devices up to 5.1. Android 6.0 and above do not include the Apache http client used in this answer.

Http Client from Apache Commons is the way to go. It is already included in android. Here's a simple example of how to do HTTP Post using it.

public void postData() {
    // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");

    try {
        // Add your data
        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "Hi"));
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

        // Execute HTTP Post Request
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
        
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    }
} 

UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32

I'm surprised this question is 11yrs old and not one of the answers mentioned the #1 advantage of utf-8.

utf-8 generally works even with programs that are not utf-8 aware. That's partly what it was designed for. Other answers mention that the first 128 code points are the same as ASCII. All other code points are generated by 8bit values with the high bit set (values from 128 to 255) so that from the POV of a non-unicode aware program it just sees strings as ASCII with some extra characters.

As an example let's say you wrote a program to add line numbers that effectively does this (and to keep it simple let's assume end of line is just ASCII 13)

// pseudo code

function readLine
  if end of file
     return null
  read bytes (8bit values) into string until you hit 13 or end or file
  return string

function main
  lineNo = 1
  do {
    s = readLine
    if (s == null) break;
    print lineNo++, s
  }  

Passing a utf-8 file to this program will continue to work. Similarly, splitting on tabs, commas, parsing for ASCII quotes, or other parsing for which only ASCII values are significant all just work with utf-8 because no ASCII value appear in utf-8 except when they are actually meant to be those ASCII values

Some other answers or comments mentions that utf-32 has the advantage that you can treat each codepoint separately. This would suggest for example you could take a string like "ABCDEFGHI" and split it at every 3rd code point to make

ABC
DEF
GHI

This is false. Many code points affect other code points. For example the color selector code points that lets you choose between ?????. If you split at any arbitrary code point you'll break those.

Another example is the bidirectional code points. The following paragraph was not entered backward. It is just preceded by the 0x202E codepoint

  • ?This line is not typed backward it is only displayed backward

So no, utf-32 will not let you just randomly manipulate unicode strings without a thought to their meanings. It will let you look at each codepoint with no extra code.

FYI though, utf-8 was designed so that looking at any individual byte you can find out the start of the current code point or the next code point.

If you take a arbitrary byte in utf-8 data. If it is < 128 it's the correct code point by itself. If it's >= 128 and < 192 (the top 2 bits are 10) then to find the start of the code point you need to look the preceding byte until you find a byte with a value >= 192 (the top 2 bits are 11). At that byte you've found the start of a codepoint. That byte encodes how many subsequent bytes make the code point.

If you want to find the next code point just scan until the byte < 128 or >= 192 and that's the start of the next code point.

Num Bytes 1st code point last code point Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4
1 U+0000 U+007F 0xxxxxxx
2 U+0080 U+07FF 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
3 U+0800 U+FFFF 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
4 U+10000 U+10FFFF 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx

Where xxxxxx are the bits of the code point. Concatenate the xxxx bits from the bytes to get the code point

Percentage Height HTML 5/CSS

Sometimes, you may want to conditionally set the height of a div, such as when the entire content is less than the height of the screen. Setting all parent elements to 100% will cut off content when it is longer than the screen size.

So, the way to get around this is to set the min-height:

Continue to let the parent elements automatically adjust their height Then in your main div, subtract the pixel sizes of the header and footer div from 100vh (viewport units). In css, something like:

min-height: calc(100vh - 246px);

100vh is full length of the screen, minus the surrounding divs. By setting min-height and not height, content longer than screen will continue to flow, instead of getting cut off.

Angular - Can't make ng-repeat orderBy work

The orderBy only works with Arrays -- See http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.filter:orderBy

Also a great filter to use for Objects instead of Arrays @ Angularjs OrderBy on ng-repeat doesn't work

pythonic way to do something N times without an index variable?

Assume that you've defined do_something as a function, and you'd like to perform it N times. Maybe you can try the following:

todos = [do_something] * N  
for doit in todos:  
    doit()

Is a view faster than a simple query?

Definitely a view is better than a nested query for SQL Server. Without knowing exactly why it is better (until I read Mark Brittingham's post), I had run some tests and experienced almost shocking performance improvements when using a view versus a nested query. After running each version of the query several hundred times in a row, the view version of the query completed in half the time. I'd say that's proof enough for me.

How to add a set path only for that batch file executing?

That's right, but it doesn't change it permanently, but just for current command prompt, if you wanna to change it permanently you have to use for example this:

setx ENV_VAR_NAME "DESIRED_PATH" /m

This will change it permanently and yes you can overwrite it by another batch script.

var self = this?

This question is not specific to jQuery, but specific to JavaScript in general. The core problem is how to "channel" a variable in embedded functions. This is the example:

var abc = 1; // we want to use this variable in embedded functions

function xyz(){
  console.log(abc); // it is available here!
  function qwe(){
    console.log(abc); // it is available here too!
  }
  ...
};

This technique relies on using a closure. But it doesn't work with this because this is a pseudo variable that may change from scope to scope dynamically:

// we want to use "this" variable in embedded functions

function xyz(){
  // "this" is different here!
  console.log(this); // not what we wanted!
  function qwe(){
    // "this" is different here too!
    console.log(this); // not what we wanted!
  }
  ...
};

What can we do? Assign it to some variable and use it through the alias:

var abc = this; // we want to use this variable in embedded functions

function xyz(){
  // "this" is different here! --- but we don't care!
  console.log(abc); // now it is the right object!
  function qwe(){
    // "this" is different here too! --- but we don't care!
    console.log(abc); // it is the right object here too!
  }
  ...
};

this is not unique in this respect: arguments is the other pseudo variable that should be treated the same way — by aliasing.

Convert String to Calendar Object in Java

Yes it would be bad practice to parse it yourself. Take a look at SimpleDateFormat, it will turn the String into a Date and you can set the Date into a Calendar instance.

animating addClass/removeClass with jQuery

Another solution (but it requires jQueryUI as pointed out by Richard Neil Ilagan in comments) :-

addClass, removeClass and toggleClass also accepts a second argument; the time duration to go from one state to the other.

$(this).addClass('abc',1000);

See jsfiddle:- http://jsfiddle.net/6hvZT/1/

SSRS expression to format two decimal places does not show zeros

If you want to always display some value after decimal for example "12.00" or "12.23" Then use just like below , it worked for me

FormatNumber("145.231000",2) Which will display 145.23

FormatNumber("145",2) Which will display 145.00

Prevent HTML5 video from being downloaded (right-click saved)?

The

<body oncontextmenu="return false;"> 

no longer works. Chrome and Opera as of June 2018 has a submenu on the timeline to allow straight download, so user doesn't need to right click to download that video. Interestingly Firefox and Edge don't have this ...

Get the value for a listbox item by index

Suppose you want the value of the first item.

ListBox list = new ListBox();
Console.Write(list.Items[0].Value);

add created_at and updated_at fields to mongoose schemas

Use a function to return the computed default value:

var ItemSchema = new Schema({
    name: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      trim: true
    },
    created_at: {
      type: Date,
      default: function(){
        return Date.now();
      }
    },
    updated_at: {
      type: Date,
      default: function(){
        return Date.now();
      }
    }
});

ItemSchema.pre('save', function(done) {
  this.updated_at = Date.now();
  done();
});

Iterating over arrays in Python 3

When you loop in an array like you did, your for variable(in this example i) is current element of your array.

For example if your ar is [1,5,10], the i value in each iteration is 1, 5, and 10. And because your array length is 3, the maximum index you can use is 2. so when i = 5 you get IndexError. You should change your code into something like this:

for i in ar:
    theSum = theSum + i

Or if you want to use indexes, you should create a range from 0 ro array length - 1.

for i in range(len(ar)):
    theSum = theSum + ar[i]

E: Unable to locate package npm

Your system can't find npm package because you haven't add nodejs repository to your system..

Try follow this installation step:
Add nodejs PPA repository to our system and python software properties too

sudo apt-get install curl python-software-properties 
// sudo apt-get install curl software-properties-common

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get update

Then install npm

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Check if npm and node was installed and you're ready to use node.js

node -v
npm -v

If someone was failed to install nodejs.. Try remove the npm first, maybe the old installation was broken..

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm

Check if npm or node folder still exist, delete it if you found them

which node
which npm

Using HttpClient and HttpPost in Android with post parameters

have you tried doing it without the JSON object and just passed two basicnamevaluepairs? also, it might have something to do with your serversettings

Update: this is a piece of code I use:

InputStream is = null;
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lastupdate", lastupdate)); 

try {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(connection);
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        is = entity.getContent();
        Log.d("HTTP", "HTTP: OK");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("HTTP", "Error in http connection " + e.toString());
    }

Error "Metadata file '...\Release\project.dll' could not be found in Visual Studio"

I had this problem and it was due to an invalid method in the offending library (dll) that did not return a value, e.g.

   //I never bothered putting code here....

}

When I commmented this out everything compiled :)

What is Robocopy's "restartable" option?

Restartable mode (/Z) has to do with a partially-copied file. With this option, should the copy be interrupted while any particular file is partially copied, the next execution of robocopy can pick up where it left off rather than re-copying the entire file.

That option could be useful when copying very large files over a potentially unstable connection.

Backup mode (/B) has to do with how robocopy reads files from the source system. It allows the copying of files on which you might otherwise get an access denied error on either the file itself or while trying to copy the file's attributes/permissions. You do need to be running in an Administrator context or otherwise have backup rights to use this flag.

Sending mail attachment using Java

If you allow me, it works fine also for multi-attachments, the 1st above answer of NINCOMPOOP, with just a little modification like follows:

DataSource source,source2,source3,source4, ...;  
source = new FileDataSource(myfile);  
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));  
messageBodyPart.setFileName(myfile);  
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);  

source2 = new FileDataSource(myfile2);  
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source2));  
messageBodyPart.setFileName(myfile2);  
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);  

source3 = new FileDataSource(myfile3);  
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source3));  
messageBodyPart.setFileName(myfile3);  
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);  

source4 = new FileDataSource(myfile4);  
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source4));  
messageBodyPart.setFileName(myfile4);  
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);  

...

message.setContent(multipart);

How to append rows in a pandas dataframe in a for loop?

There are 2 reasons you may append rows in a loop, 1. add to an existing df, and 2. create a new df.

to create a new df, I think its well documented that you should either create your data as a list and then create the data frame:

cols = ['c1', 'c2', 'c3']
lst = []
for a in range(2):
    lst.append([1, 2, 3])
df1 = pd.DataFrame(lst, columns=cols)
df1
Out[3]: 
   c1  c2  c3
0   1   2   3
1   1   2   3

OR, Create the dataframe with an index and then add to it

cols = ['c1', 'c2', 'c3']
df2 = pd.DataFrame(columns=cols, index=range(2))
for a in range(2):
    df2.loc[a].c1 = 4
    df2.loc[a].c2 = 5
    df2.loc[a].c3 = 6
df2
Out[4]: 
  c1 c2 c3
0  4  5  6
1  4  5  6

If you want to add to an existing dataframe, you could use either method above and then append the df's together (with or without the index):

df3 = df2.append(df1, ignore_index=True)
df3
Out[6]: 
  c1 c2 c3
0  4  5  6
1  4  5  6
2  1  2  3
3  1  2  3

Or, you can also create a list of dictionary entries and append those as in the answer above.

lst_dict = []
for a in range(2):
    lst_dict.append({'c1':2, 'c2':2, 'c3': 3})
df4 = df1.append(lst_dict)
df4
Out[7]: 
   c1  c2  c3
0   1   2   3
1   1   2   3
0   2   2   3
1   2   2   3

Using the dict(zip(cols, vals)))

lst_dict = []
for a in range(2):
    vals = [7, 8, 9]
    lst_dict.append(dict(zip(cols, vals)))
df5 = df1.append(lst_dict)

HTML/CSS: how to put text both right and left aligned in a paragraph

Ok what you probably want will be provide to you by result of:

  1. in CSS:

    div { column-count: 2; }

  2. in html:

    <div> some text, bla bla bla </div>

In CSS you make div to split your paragraph on to column, you can make them 3, 4...

If you want to have many differend paragraf like that, then put id or class in your div:

Android EditText Max Length

EditText editText= ....;
InputFilter[] fa= new InputFilter[1];
fa[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(8);
editText.setFilters(fa);

SQL Server equivalent to Oracle's CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW

It works fine for me on SQL Server 2017:

Pass Arraylist as argument to function

The answer is already posted but note that this will pass the ArrayList by reference. So if you make any changes to the list in the function it will be affected to the original list also.

<access-modfier> <returnType> AnalyseArray(ArrayList<Integer> list)
{
//analyse the list
//return value
}

call it like this:

x=AnalyseArray(list);

or pass a copy of ArrayList:

x=AnalyseArray(list.clone());

What is the exact location of MySQL database tables in XAMPP folder?

I think the matter is your tables engine. I guess you are using InnoDB for your table. So you can not copy files easily to make a copy.
Take a look at these links:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-backup.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-migration.html

Also I recommend you to use something like phpMyAdmin for creating your backup file and then restore the backup file on the next machine using the same IDE.

ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away

This error message also occurs when you created the SCHEMA with a different COLLATION than the one which is used in the dump. So, if the dump contains

CREATE TABLE `mytab` (
..
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

you should also reflect this in the SCHEMA collation:

CREATE SCHEMA myschema COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

I had been using utf8mb4_general_ci in the schema, cause my script came from a fresh V8 installation, now loading a DB on old 5.7 crashed and drove me nearly crazy.

So, maybe this helps you saving some frustating hours... :-)

Can .NET load and parse a properties file equivalent to Java Properties class?

You can also use C# automatic property syntax with default values and a restrictive set. The advantage here is that you can then have any kind of data type in your properties "file" (now actually a class). The other advantage is that you can use C# property syntax to invoke the properties. However, you just need a couple of lines for each property (one in the property declaration and one in the constructor) to make this work.

using System;
namespace ReportTester {
   class TestProperties
   {
        internal String ReportServerUrl { get; private set; }
        internal TestProperties()
        {
            ReportServerUrl = "http://myhost/ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx?wsdl";
        }
   }
}

How to debug Javascript with IE 8

I discovered today that we can now debug Javascript With the developer tool bar plugins integreted in IE 8.

  • Click ? Tools on the toolbar, to the right of the tabs.
  • Select Developer Tools. The Developer Tools dialogue should open.
  • Click the Script tab in the dialogue.
  • Click the Start Debugging button.

You can use watch, breakpoint, see the call stack etc, similarly to debuggers in professional browsers.

You can also use the statement debugger; in your JavaScript code the set a breakpoint.

Psql list all tables

If you wish to list all tables, you must use:

\dt *.*

to indicate that you want all tables in all schemas. This will include tables in pg_catalog, the system tables, and those in information_schema. There's no built-in way to say "all tables in all user-defined schemas"; you can, however, set your search_path to a list of all schemas of interest before running \dt.

You may want to do this programmatically, in which case psql backslash-commands won't do the job. This is where the INFORMATION_SCHEMA comes to the rescue. To list tables:

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'public';

BTW, if you ever want to see what psql is doing in response to a backslash command, run psql with the -E flag. eg:

$ psql -E regress    
regress=# \list
********* QUERY **********
SELECT d.datname as "Name",
       pg_catalog.pg_get_userbyid(d.datdba) as "Owner",
       pg_catalog.pg_encoding_to_char(d.encoding) as "Encoding",
       d.datcollate as "Collate",
       d.datctype as "Ctype",
       pg_catalog.array_to_string(d.datacl, E'\n') AS "Access privileges"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_database d
ORDER BY 1;
**************************

so you can see that psql is searching pg_catalog.pg_database when it gets a list of databases. Similarly, for tables within a given database:

SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
  c.relname as "Name",
  CASE c.relkind WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' WHEN 'i' THEN 'index' WHEN 'S' THEN 'sequence' WHEN 's' THEN 'special' WHEN 'f' THEN 'foreign table' END as "Type",
  pg_catalog.pg_get_userbyid(c.relowner) as "Owner"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
     LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE c.relkind IN ('r','')
      AND n.nspname <> 'pg_catalog'
      AND n.nspname <> 'information_schema'
      AND n.nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
  AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
ORDER BY 1,2;

It's preferable to use the SQL-standard, portable INFORMATION_SCHEMA instead of the Pg system catalogs where possible, but sometimes you need Pg-specific information. In those cases it's fine to query the system catalogs directly, and psql -E can be a helpful guide for how to do so.

Need to get current timestamp in Java

You can make use of java.util.Date with direct date string format:

String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm.ss").format(new Date());

Any way to select without causing locking in MySQL?

If the table is InnoDB, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-consistent-read.html -- it uses consistent-read (no-locking mode) for SELECTs "that do not specify FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE if the innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog option is set and the isolation level of the transaction is not set to SERIALIZABLE. Thus, no locks are set on rows read from the selected table".

How can we dynamically allocate and grow an array

you can not increase array size dynamically better you copy into new array. Use System.arrayCopy for that, it better than copying each element into new array. For reference Why is System.arraycopy native in Java?.

private static Object resizeArray (Object oldArray, int newSize) {
   int oldSize = java.lang.reflect.Array.getLength(oldArray);
   Class elementType = oldArray.getClass().getComponentType();
   Object newArray = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(
         elementType, newSize);
   int preserveLength = Math.min(oldSize, newSize);
   if (preserveLength > 0)
      System.arraycopy(oldArray, 0, newArray, 0, preserveLength);
   return newArray;
}

How to get object size in memory?

The following code fragment should return the size in bytes of any object passed to it, so long as it can be serialized. I got this from a colleague at Quixant to resolve a problem of writing to SRAM on a gaming platform. Hope it helps out. Credit and thanks to Carlo Vittuci.

/// <summary>
/// Calculates the lenght in bytes of an object 
/// and returns the size 
/// </summary>
/// <param name="TestObject"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
private int GetObjectSize(object TestObject)
{
    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    byte[] Array;
    bf.Serialize(ms, TestObject);
    Array = ms.ToArray();
    return Array.Length;
}

module.exports vs. export default in Node.js and ES6

Felix Kling did a great comparison on those two, for anyone wondering how to do an export default alongside named exports with module.exports in nodejs

module.exports = new DAO()
module.exports.initDAO = initDAO // append other functions as named export

// now you have
let DAO = require('_/helpers/DAO');
// DAO by default is exported class or function
DAO.initDAO()

Sleep for milliseconds

As a Win32 replacement for POSIX systems:

void Sleep(unsigned int milliseconds) {
    usleep(milliseconds * 1000);
}

while (1) {
    printf(".");
    Sleep((unsigned int)(1000.0f/20.0f)); // 20 fps
}

Javascript Src Path

The common practice is to put scripts in a discrete folder, typically at the root of the site. So, if clock.js lived here:

/js/clock.js

then you could add this code to the top of any page in your site and it would just work:

<script src="/js/clock.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" /> Meaning

Modules Preconditions:

The IIS core engine uses preconditions to determine when to enable a particular module. Performance reasons, for example, might determine that you only want to execute managed modules for requests that also go to a managed handler. The precondition in the following example (precondition="managedHandler") only enables the forms authentication module for requests that are also handled by a managed handler, such as requests to .aspx or .asmx files:

<add name="FormsAuthentication" type="System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationModule" preCondition="managedHandler" />

If you remove the attribute precondition="managedHandler", Forms Authentication also applies to content that is not served by managed handlers, such as .html, .jpg, .doc, but also for classic ASP (.asp) or PHP (.php) extensions. See "How to Take Advantage of IIS Integrated Pipeline" for an example of enabling ASP.NET modules to run for all content.

You can also use a shortcut to enable all managed (ASP.NET) modules to run for all requests in your application, regardless of the "managedHandler" precondition.

To enable all managed modules to run for all requests without configuring each module entry to remove the "managedHandler" precondition, use the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests property in the <modules> section:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />    

When you use this property, the "managedHandler" precondition has no effect and all managed modules run for all requests.

MySQL Error 1264: out of range value for column

tl;dr

Make sure your AUTO_INCREMENT is not out of range. In that case, set a new value for it with:

ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT=100 -- Change 100 to the desired number

Explanation

AUTO_INCREMENT can contain a number that is bigger than the maximum value allowed by the datatype. This can happen if you filled up a table that you emptied afterward but the AUTO_INCREMENT stayed the same, but there might be different reasons as well. In this case a new entry's id would be out of range.

Solution

If this is the cause of your problem, you can fix it by setting AUTO_INCREMENT to one bigger than the latest row's id. So if your latest row's id is 100 then:

ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT=101

If you would like to check AUTO_INCREMENT's current value, use this command:

SELECT `AUTO_INCREMENT`
FROM  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'DatabaseName'
AND   TABLE_NAME   = 'TableName';

Find indices of elements equal to zero in a NumPy array

You can also use nonzero() by using it on a boolean mask of the condition, because False is also a kind of zero.

>>> x = numpy.array([1,0,2,0,3,0,4,5,6,7,8])

>>> x==0

It's doing exactly the same as mtrw's way, but it is more related to the question ;)

Using Linq to get the last N elements of a collection?

Below the real example how to take last 3 elements from a collection (array):

// split address by spaces into array
string[] adrParts = adr.Split(new string[] { " " },StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
// take only 3 last items in array
adrParts = adrParts.SkipWhile((value, index) => { return adrParts.Length - index > 3; }).ToArray();

Convert a python 'type' object to a string

>>> class A(object): pass

>>> e = A()
>>> e
<__main__.A object at 0xb6d464ec>
>>> print type(e)
<class '__main__.A'>
>>> print type(e).__name__
A
>>> 

what do you mean by convert into a string? you can define your own repr and str_ methods:

>>> class A(object):
    def __repr__(self):
        return 'hei, i am A or B or whatever'

>>> e = A()
>>> e
hei, i am A or B or whatever
>>> str(e)
hei, i am A or B or whatever

or i dont know..please add explainations ;)

Am I trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?

In my case (Linux Mint 17) I did various things, and I'm not sure about which of them are totally necessary.

I included missing Ubuntu packages:

$ sudo apt-get install apparmor lxc cgroup-lite

A user was added to group docker:

$ sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

Started daemon (openSUSE just needs this)

$ sudo docker -d

Thanks\Attribution


Thanks Usman Ismail, because maybe it was just that last thing...

Stupid question but have you started the docker daemon? – Usman Ismail Dec 17 '14 at 15:04


Thanks also to github@MichaelJCole for the solution that worked for me, because I didn't check for the daemon when I read Usman's comment.

GitHub comment:

sudo apt-get install apparmor lxc cgroup-lite
sudo apt-get  install docker.io
# If you installed docker.io first, you'll have to start it manually
sudo docker -d
sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

Thanks to fredjean.net post for noticing the missing packages and forget about the default Ubuntu installation instructions and google about other ways

It turns out that the cgroup-lite and the lxc packages are not installed by default on Linux Mint. Installing both then allowed me to run bash in the base image and then build and run my image.

CSS content generation before or after 'input' elements

This is not due to input tags not having any content per-se, but that their content is outside the scope of CSS.

input elements are a special type called replaced elements, these do not support :pseudo selectors like :before and :after.

In CSS, a replaced element is an element whose representation is outside the scope of CSS. These are kind of external objects whose representation is independent of the CSS. Typical replaced elements are <img>, <object>, <video> or form elements like <textarea> and <input>. Some elements, like <audio> or <canvas> are replaced elements only in specific cases. Objects inserted using the CSS content properties are anonymous replaced elements.

Note that this is even referred to in the spec:

This specification does not fully define the interaction of :before and :after with replaced elements (such as IMG in HTML).

And more explicitly:

Replaced elements do not have ::before and ::after pseudo-elements

How do I get to IIS Manager?

First of all, you need to check that the IIS is installed in your machine, for that you can go to:

Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs --> Windows Features --> And Check if Internet Information Services is installed with at least the 'Web Administration Tools' Enabled and The 'World Wide Web Service'

If not, check it, and Press Accept to install it.

Once that is done, you need to go to Administrative Tools in Control Panel and the IIS Will be there. Or simply run inetmgr (after Win+R).

Edit: You should have something like this: enter image description here

How can I check which version of Angular I'm using?

In the browser's developer console (press F12 to open it), you can type the following,

angular.version.full

it will give you the full version, e.g. (depending on your current version). [It actually gets the full property of angular.version object.]

"1.4.3"

So, to see the full object, if you type

angular.version

It will give you the full version object containing version information like full, major, minor and also the codeName, e.g.

Object {full: "1.4.3", major: 1, minor: 4, dot: 3, codeName: "foam-acceleration"}

How to squash commits in git after they have been pushed?

git rebase -i master

you will get the editor vm open and msgs something like this

f 7994283490 commit msg2
f 4654283490 commit msg3
f 5694283490 commit msg4
#Some message 
#
#some more

Here I have changed pick for all the other commits to "f" (Stands for fixup).

git push -f origin feature/feature-branch-name-xyz

this will fixup all the commits to one commit and will remove all the other commits . I did this and it helped me.

Configuring ObjectMapper in Spring

In Spring Boot 2.2.x you need to configure it like this:

}

Kotlin:

fun objectMapper(builder: Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder) = builder.build()

Test only if variable is not null in if statement

I don't believe the expression is sensical as it is.

Elvis means "if truthy, use the value, else use this other thing."

Your "other thing" is a closure, and the value is status != null, neither of which would seem to be what you want. If status is null, Elvis says true. If it's not, you get an extra layer of closure.

Why can't you just use:

(it.description == desc) && ((status == null) || (it.status == status))

Even if that didn't work, all you need is the closure to return the appropriate value, right? There's no need to create two separate find calls, just use an intermediate variable.

Error during installing HAXM, VT-X not working

I had exactly the same problem. And this is how I could fix it.

Step 1: Turn virtualization on in BIOS settings.

Step 2: Control Panel -> "Programs" -> "Turn Windows features on or off" (under "Programs and Features") and locate "Hyper-V", uncheck, reboot.

Step 3: In Avast->Settings->Troubleshooting. Uncheck "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" & "Enable avast self-defense module"

Final step and the main:
Go to MyPC / right click / Advanced System Settings / Advanced / In Performance click SETTINGS / Data Execution Prevention and enable DEP for all programs and services.

The last step helped me to solve this problem. Hope you too.

Get table column names in MySQL?

I needed column names as a flat array, while the other answers returned associative arrays, so I used:

$con = mysqli_connect('localhost',$db_user,$db_pw,$db_name);
$table = 'people';

/**
* Get the column names for a mysql table
**/

function get_column_names($con, $table) {
  $sql = 'DESCRIBE '.$table;
  $result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);

  $rows = array();
  while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $rows[] = $row['Field'];
  }

  return $rows;
}

$col_names = function get_column_names($con, $table);

$col_names now equals:

(
    [0] => name
    [1] => parent
    [2] => number
    [3] => chart_id
    [4] => type
    [5] => id
)

print memory address of Python variable

There is no way to get the memory address of a value in Python 2.7 in general. In Jython or PyPy, the implementation doesn't even know your value's address (and there's not even a guarantee that it will stay in the same place—e.g., the garbage collector is allowed to move it around if it wants).

However, if you only care about CPython, id is already returning the address. If the only issue is how to format that integer in a certain way… it's the same as formatting any integer:

>>> hex(33)
0x21
>>> '{:#010x}'.format(33) # 32-bit
0x00000021
>>> '{:#018x}'.format(33) # 64-bit
0x0000000000000021

… and so on.

However, there's almost never a good reason for this. If you actually need the address of an object, it's presumably to pass it to ctypes or similar, in which case you should use ctypes.addressof or similar.

How does the bitwise complement operator (~ tilde) work?

int a=4; System.out.println(~a); Result would be :-5

'~' of any integer in java represents 1's complement of the no. for example i am taking ~4,which means in binary representation 0100. first , length of an integer is four bytes,i.e 4*8(8 bits for 1 byte)=32. So in system memory 4 is represented as 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 now ~ operator will perform 1's complement on the above binary no

i.e 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1011->1's complement the most significant bit represents sign of the no(either - or +) if it is 1 then sign is '-' if it is 0 then sign is '+' as per this our result is a negative number, in java the negative numbers are stored in 2's complement form, the acquired result we have to convert into 2's complement( first perform 1's complement and just add 1 to 1's complement). all the one will become zeros,except most significant bit 1(which is our sign representation of the number,that means for remaining 31 bits 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1011 (acquired result of ~ operator) 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 (1's complement)

1 (2's complement)

1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 now the result is -5 check out this link for the video <[Bit wise operators in java] https://youtu.be/w4pJ4cGWe9Y

How do I use popover from Twitter Bootstrap to display an image?

Sort of similar to what mattbtay said, but a few changes. needed html:true.
Put this script on bottom of the page towards close body tag.

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function() {
  $("[rel=drevil]").popover({
      placement : 'bottom', //placement of the popover. also can use top, bottom, left or right
      title : '<div style="text-align:center; color:red; text-decoration:underline; font-size:14px;"> Muah ha ha</div>', //this is the top title bar of the popover. add some basic css
      html: 'true', //needed to show html of course
      content : '<div id="popOverBox"><img src="http://www.hd-report.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mr-evil.jpg" width="251" height="201" /></div>' //this is the content of the html box. add the image here or anything you want really.
});
});
</script>


Then HTML is:

<a href="#" rel="drevil">mischief</a>

How to get All input of POST in Laravel

There seems to be a major mistake in almost all the current answers in that they show BOTH GET and POST data. Not ONLY POST data.

The issue with your code as the accepted answer mentioned is that you did not import the facade. This can imported by adding the following at the top:

use Request;

public function add_question(Request $request)
{
    return Request::post();
}

You can also use the global request method like so (mentioned by @Canaan Etai), with no import required:

request()->post();

However, a better approach to importing Request in a controller method is by dependency injection as mentioned in @shuvrow answer:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

public function add_question(Request $request)
{
    return $request->post();
}

More information about DI can be found here:

In either case, you should use:

// Show only POST data
$request->post(); // DI
request()->post(); // global method
Request::post(); // facade

// Show only GET data
$request->query(); // DI
request()->query(); // global method
Request::query(); // facade

// Show all data (i.e. both GET and POST data)
$request->all(); // DI
request()->all(); // global method
Request::all(); // facade

How to get the fields in an Object via reflection?

You can use Class#getDeclaredFields() to get all declared fields of the class. You can use Field#get() to get the value.

In short:

Object someObject = getItSomehow();
for (Field field : someObject.getClass().getDeclaredFields()) {
    field.setAccessible(true); // You might want to set modifier to public first.
    Object value = field.get(someObject); 
    if (value != null) {
        System.out.println(field.getName() + "=" + value);
    }
}

To learn more about reflection, check the Sun tutorial on the subject.


That said, the fields does not necessarily all represent properties of a VO. You would rather like to determine the public methods starting with get or is and then invoke it to grab the real property values.

for (Method method : someObject.getClass().getDeclaredMethods()) {
    if (Modifier.isPublic(method.getModifiers())
        && method.getParameterTypes().length == 0
        && method.getReturnType() != void.class
        && (method.getName().startsWith("get") || method.getName().startsWith("is"))
    ) {
        Object value = method.invoke(someObject);
        if (value != null) {
            System.out.println(method.getName() + "=" + value);
        }
    }
}

That in turn said, there may be more elegant ways to solve your actual problem. If you elaborate a bit more about the functional requirement for which you think that this is the right solution, then we may be able to suggest the right solution. There are many, many tools available to massage javabeans.

How to determine whether a year is a leap year?

The whole formula can be contained in a single expression:

Angular 6: How to set response type as text while making http call

You should not use those headers, the headers determine what kind of type you are sending, and you are clearly sending an object, which means, JSON.

Instead you should set the option responseType to text:

addToCart(productId: number, quantity: number): Observable<any> {
  const headers = new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'text/plain; charset=utf-8');

  return this.http.post(
    'http://localhost:8080/order/addtocart', 
    { dealerId: 13, createdBy: "-1", productId, quantity }, 
    { headers, responseType: 'text'}
  ).pipe(catchError(this.errorHandlerService.handleError));
}

How do I split a multi-line string into multiple lines?

Like the others said:

inputString.split('\n')  # --> ['Line 1', 'Line 2', 'Line 3']

This is identical to the above, but the string module's functions are deprecated and should be avoided:

import string
string.split(inputString, '\n')  # --> ['Line 1', 'Line 2', 'Line 3']

Alternatively, if you want each line to include the break sequence (CR,LF,CRLF), use the splitlines method with a True argument:

inputString.splitlines(True)  # --> ['Line 1\n', 'Line 2\n', 'Line 3']

'this' is undefined in JavaScript class methods

In ES2015 a.k.a ES6, class is a syntactic sugar for functions.

If you want to force to set a context for this you can use bind() method. As @chetan pointed, on invocation you can set the context as well! Check the example below:

class Form extends React.Component {
constructor() {
    super();
  }
  handleChange(e) {
    switch (e.target.id) {
      case 'owner':
        this.setState({owner: e.target.value});
        break;
      default:
    }
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.handleNewCodeBlock}>
        <p>Owner:</p> <input onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this)} />
      </form>
    );
  }
}

Here we forced the context inside handleChange() to Form.

Floating Div Over An Image

You've got the right idea. Looks to me like you just need to change .tag's position:relative to position:absolute, and add position:relative to .container.

Paste in insert mode?

While in insert mode, you can use Ctrl-R {register}, where register can be:

  • + for the clipboard,
  • * for the X clipboard (last selected text in X),
  • " for the unnamed register (last delete or yank in Vim),
  • or a number of others (see :h registers).

Ctrl-R {register} inserts the text as if it were typed.

Ctrl-R Ctrl-O {register} inserts the text with the original indentation.

Ctrl-R Ctrl-P {register} inserts the text and auto-indents it.

Ctrl-O can be used to run any normal mode command before returning to insert mode, so
Ctrl-O "+p can also be used, for example.

For more information, view the documentation with :h i_ctrl-r

Check status of one port on remote host

In Command Prompt, you can use the command telnet.. For Example, to connect to IP 192.168.10.1 with port 80,

telnet 192.168.10.1 80

To enable telnet in Windows 7 and above click. From the linked article, enable telnet through control panel -> programs and features -> windows features -> telnet client, or just run this in an admin prompt:

dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient

Check if an element has event listener on it. No jQuery

There is no JavaScript function to achieve this. However, you could set a boolean value to true when you add the listener, and false when you remove it. Then check against this boolean before potentially adding a duplicate event listener.

jQuery - Add ID instead of Class

Im doing this in coffeescript

How can I hide or encrypt JavaScript code?

JavaScript is a scripting language and therefore stays in human readable form until it is time for it to be interpreted and executed by the JavaScript runtime.

The only way to partially hide it, at least from the less technical minds, is to obfuscate.

Obfuscation makes it harder for humans to read it, but not impossible for the technically savvy.

How to put img inline with text

This should display the image inline:

.content-dir-item img.mail {
    display: inline-block;
    *display: inline; /* for older IE */
    *zoom: 1; /* for older IE */
}

version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by ...)

GCC 4.9 introduces a newer C++ ABI version than your system libstdc++ has, so you need to tell the loader to use this newer version of the library by adding that path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you straight off where the libstdc++ so for your GCC 4.9 installation is located, as this depends on how you configured GCC. So you need something in the style of:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/lib/gcc-4.9.0/lib:/home/user/lib/boost_1_55_0/stage/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note the actual path may be different (there might be some subdirectory hidden under there, like `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.0´ or similar).

How to get client IP address using jQuery

function GetUserIP(){
  var ret_ip;
  $.ajaxSetup({async: false});
  $.get('http://jsonip.com/', function(r){

  });
  return ret_ip;
}

If you want to use the IP and assign it to a variable, Try this. Just call GetUserIP()

Mipmap drawables for icons

If you build an APK for a target screen resolution like HDPI, the Android asset packageing tool,AAPT,can strip out the drawables for other resolution you don’t need.But if it’s in the mipmap folder,then these assets will stay in the APK, regardless of the target resolution.

elasticsearch bool query combine must with OR

If you were using Solr's default or Lucene query parser, you can pretty much always put it into a query string query:

POST test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": "(( name:(+foo +bar) OR info:(+foo +bar)  )) AND state:(1) AND (has_image:(0) OR has_image:(1)^100)"
    }
  }
}

That said, you may want to use a boolean query, like the one you already posted, or even a combination of the two.

How to create an alert message in jsp page after submit process is complete

So let's say after getMasterData servlet will response.sendRedirect to to test.jsp.

In test.jsp

Create a javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
function alertName(){
alert("Form has been submitted");
} 
</script> 

and than at the bottom

<script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = alertName; </script>

Note:im not sure how to type the code in stackoverflow!. Edit: I just learned how to

Edit 2: TO the question:This works perfectly. Another question. How would I get rid of the initial alert when I first start up the JSP? "Form has been submitted" is present the second I execute. It shows up after the load is done to which is perfect.

To do that i would highly recommendation to use session!

So what you want to do is in your servlet:

session.setAttribute("getAlert", "Yes");//Just initialize a random variable.
response.sendRedirect(test.jsp);

than in the test.jsp

<%
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(2);
%>

 <script type="text/javascript">
var Msg ='<%=session.getAttribute("getAlert")%>';
    if (Msg != "null") {
 function alertName(){
 alert("Form has been submitted");
 } 
 }
 </script> 

and than at the bottom

<script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = alertName; </script>

So everytime you submit that form a session will be pass on! If session is not null the function will run!

Is there a way to continue broken scp (secure copy) command process in Linux?

If you need to resume an scp transfer from local to remote, try with rsync:

rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh local_file user@host:remote_file

Short version, as pointed out by @aurelijus-rozenas:

rsync -P -e ssh local_file user@host:remote_file

In general the order of args for rsync is

rsync [options] SRC DEST

How can I get the count of line in a file in an efficient way?

use LineNumberReader

something like

public static int countLines(File aFile) throws IOException {
    LineNumberReader reader = null;
    try {
        reader = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(aFile));
        while ((reader.readLine()) != null);
        return reader.getLineNumber();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        return -1;
    } finally { 
        if(reader != null) 
            reader.close();
    }
}

Java image resize, maintain aspect ratio

Here's a small piece of code that I wrote, it resizes the image to fit the container while keeping the image's original aspect ratio. It takes in as parameters the container's width, height and the image. You can modify it to fit your needs. It's simple and works fine for my applications.

private Image scaleimage(int wid, int hei, BufferedImage img){
    Image im = img;
    double scale;
    double imw = img.getWidth();
    double imh = img.getHeight();
    if (wid > imw && hei > imh){
        im = img;
    }else if(wid/imw < hei/imh){
        scale = wid/imw;
        im = img.getScaledInstance((int) (scale*imw), (int) (scale*imh), Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
    }else if (wid/imw > hei/imh){
        scale = hei/imh;
        im = img.getScaledInstance((int) (scale*imw), (int) (scale*imh), Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
    }else if (wid/imw == hei/imh){
        scale = wid/imw;
        im = img.getScaledInstance((int) (scale*imw), (int) (scale*imh), Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
    } 
    return im;
}

'React' must be in scope when using JSX react/react-in-jsx-scope?

The error is very straight forward, you imported react instead of React.

TechView.jsx

import React , { Component} from 'react';

class TechView extends Component {

    constructor(props){
       super(props);
       this.state = {
           name:'Gopinath'
       }
    }

    render(){
        return(
            <span>hello Tech View</span>
        );
    }
}

export default TechView;

Also you don't need to import render in the above code unless it's the root level index.js.

index.js:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import TechView from './TechView';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <TechView />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

serviceWorker.unregister();

Note: You could have imported render the way you did in your original post and used it directly:

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import TechView from './TechView';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';

render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <TechView />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

serviceWorker.unregister();

Here, TechView becomes the main react component, which is conventionally also known as App. So, in this context instead of naming the file as TechView.jsx I'd name it App.jsx and instead of naming the class as TechView I'd name it App.

What does __FILE__ mean in Ruby?

__FILE__ is the filename with extension of the file containing the code being executed.

In foo.rb, __FILE__ would be "foo.rb".

If foo.rb were in the dir /home/josh then File.dirname(__FILE__) would return /home/josh.

How to have a a razor action link open in a new tab?

With Named arguments:

@Html.ActionLink(linkText: "TestTab", actionName: "TestAction", controllerName: "TestController", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { target = "_blank"})

IF a == true OR b == true statement

Comparison expressions should each be in their own brackets:

{% if (a == 'foo') or (b == 'bar') %}
    ...
{% endif %}

Alternative if you are inspecting a single variable and a number of possible values:

{% if a in ['foo', 'bar', 'qux'] %}
    ...
{% endif %}

Replace substring with another substring C++

Here is a solution I wrote using the builder tactic:

#include <string>
#include <sstream>

using std::string;
using std::stringstream;

string stringReplace (const string& source,
                      const string& toReplace,
                      const string& replaceWith)
{
  size_t pos = 0;
  size_t cursor = 0;
  int repLen = toReplace.length();
  stringstream builder;

  do
  {
    pos = source.find(toReplace, cursor);

    if (string::npos != pos)
    {
        //copy up to the match, then append the replacement
        builder << source.substr(cursor, pos - cursor);
        builder << replaceWith;

        // skip past the match 
        cursor = pos + repLen;
    }
  } 
  while (string::npos != pos);

  //copy the remainder
  builder << source.substr(cursor);

  return (builder.str());
}

Tests:

void addTestResult (const string&& testId, bool pass)
{
  ...
}

void testStringReplace()
{
    string source = "123456789012345678901234567890";
    string toReplace = "567";
    string replaceWith = "abcd";
    string result = stringReplace (source, toReplace, replaceWith);
    string expected = "1234abcd8901234abcd8901234abcd890";

    bool pass = (0 == result.compare(expected));
    addTestResult("567", pass);


    source = "123456789012345678901234567890";
    toReplace = "123";
    replaceWith = "-";
    result = stringReplace(source, toReplace, replaceWith);
    expected = "-4567890-4567890-4567890";

    pass = (0 == result.compare(expected));
    addTestResult("start", pass);


    source = "123456789012345678901234567890";
    toReplace = "0";
    replaceWith = "";
    result = stringReplace(source, toReplace, replaceWith);
    expected = "123456789123456789123456789"; 

    pass = (0 == result.compare(expected));
    addTestResult("end", pass);


    source = "123123456789012345678901234567890";
    toReplace = "123";
    replaceWith = "-";
    result = stringReplace(source, toReplace, replaceWith);
    expected = "--4567890-4567890-4567890";

    pass = (0 == result.compare(expected));
    addTestResult("concat", pass);


    source = "1232323323123456789012345678901234567890";
    toReplace = "323";
    replaceWith = "-";
    result = stringReplace(source, toReplace, replaceWith);
    expected = "12-23-123456789012345678901234567890";

    pass = (0 == result.compare(expected));
    addTestResult("interleaved", pass);



    source = "1232323323123456789012345678901234567890";
    toReplace = "===";
    replaceWith = "-";
    result = utils_stringReplace(source, toReplace, replaceWith);
    expected = source;

    pass = (0 == result.compare(expected));
    addTestResult("no match", pass);

}

WHERE clause on SQL Server "Text" data type

If you can't change the datatype on the table itself to use varchar(max), then change your query to this:

SELECT *
FROM   [Village]
WHERE  CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), [CastleType]) = 'foo'

HTTP POST Returns Error: 417 "Expectation Failed."

System.Net.HttpWebRequest adds the header 'HTTP header "Expect: 100-Continue"' to every request unless you explicitly ask it not to by setting this static property to false:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

Some servers choke on that header and send back the 417 error you're seeing.

Give that a shot.

Make one div visible and another invisible

Making it invisible with visibility still makes it use up space. Rather try set the display to none to make it invisible, and then set the display to block to make it visible.

  • Save the file as any_name_you_want.BAT
  • Launch it, it will create a file named tree.txt that contains you directory TREE.

SQL Query - how do filter by null or not null

why is plotting with Matplotlib so slow?

This may not apply to many of you, but I'm usually operating my computers under Linux, so by default I save my matplotlib plots as PNG and SVG. This works fine under Linux but is unbearably slow on my Windows 7 installations [MiKTeX under Python(x,y) or Anaconda], so I've taken to adding this code, and things work fine over there again:

import platform     # Don't save as SVG if running under Windows.
#
# Plot code goes here.
#
fig.savefig('figure_name.png', dpi = 200)
if platform.system() != 'Windows':
    # In my installations of Windows 7, it takes an inordinate amount of time to save
    # graphs as .svg files, so on that platform I've disabled the call that does so.
    # The first run of a script is still a little slow while everything is loaded in,
    # but execution times of subsequent runs are improved immensely.
    fig.savefig('figure_name.svg')

How do I pass command line arguments to a Node.js program?

Although Above answers are perfect, and someone has already suggested yargs, using the package is really easy. This is a nice package which makes passing arguments to command line really easy.

npm i yargs
const yargs = require("yargs");
const argv = yargs.argv;
console.log(argv);

Please visit https://yargs.js.org/ for more info.

Iterating over each line of ls -l output

You can also try the find command. If you only want files in the current directory:

find . -d 1 -prune -exec echo {} \;

Count lines, but only in files?

find . -d 1 -prune -type f -exec wc -l {} \;

onclick event pass <li> id or value

Try like this...

<script>

}
</script>

<li onclick="getPaging(this.id)" id="1">1</li>
<li onclick="getPaging(this.id)" id="2">2</li>

or unobtrusively

$(function() {
  $("li").on("click",function() {
    showLoader();
    $("#loading-content").load("dataSearch.php?"+this.id, hideLoader);
  });
});

using just

<li id="1">1</li>
<li id="2">2</li>

Escape double quotes for JSON in Python

Note that you can escape a json array / dictionary by doing json.dumps twice and json.loads twice:

>>> a = {'x':1}
>>> b = json.dumps(json.dumps(a))
>>> b
'"{\\"x\\": 1}"'
>>> json.loads(json.loads(b))
{u'x': 1}

How to add smooth scrolling to Bootstrap's scroll spy function

If you have a fixed navbar, you'll need something like this.

Taking from the best of the above answers and comments...

$(".bs-js-navbar-scrollspy li a[href^='#']").on('click', function(event) {
  var target = this.hash;

  event.preventDefault();

  var navOffset = $('#navbar').height();

  return $('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $(this.hash).offset().top - navOffset
  }, 300, function() {
    return window.history.pushState(null, null, target);
  });
});

First, in order to prevent the "undefined" error, store the hash to a variable, target, before calling preventDefault(), and later reference that stored value instead, as mentioned by pupadupa.

Next. You cannot use window.location.hash = target because it sets the url and the location simultaneously rather than separately. You will end up having the location at the beginning of the element whose id matches the href... but covered by your fixed top navbar.

In order to get around this, you set your scrollTop value to the vertical scroll location value of the target minus the height of your fixed navbar. Directly targeting that value maintains smooth scrolling, instead of adding an adjustment afterwards, and getting unprofessional-looking jitters.

You will notice the url doesn't change. To set this, use return window.history.pushState(null, null, target); instead, to manually add the url to the history stack.

Done!

Other notes:

1) using the .on method is the latest (as of Jan 2015) jquery method that is better than .bind or .live, or even .click for reasons I'll leave to you to find out.

2) the navOffset value can be within the function or outside, but you will probably want it outside, as you may very well reference that vertical space for other functions / DOM manipulations. But I left it inside to make it neatly into one function.

ASP.NET MVC: Html.EditorFor and multi-line text boxes

Another way

@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment)

And in your css do this

    height: 65px;
}

That DataType dealie allows carriage returns in the data, not everybody likes those.

JsonParseException: Unrecognized token 'http': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')

I faced this exception for a long time and was not able to pinpoint the problem. The exception says line 1 column 9. The mistake I did is to get the first line of the file which flume is processing.

Apache flume process the content of the file in patches. So, when flume throws this exception and says line 1, it means the first line in the current patch.

If your flume agent is configured to use batch size = 100, and (for example) the file contains 400 lines, this means the exception is thrown in one of the following lines 1, 101, 201,301.

How to discover the line which causes the problem?

You have three ways to do that.

1- pull the source code and run the agent in debug mode. If you are an average developer like me and do not know how to make this, check the other two options.

2- Try to split the file based on the batch size and run the flume agent again. If you split the file into 4 files, and the invalid json exists between lines 301 and 400, the flume agent will process the first 3 files and stop at the fourth file. Take the fourth file and again split it into more smaller files. continue the process until you reach a file with only one line and flume fails while processing it.

3- Reduce the batch size of the flume agent to only one and compare the number of processed events in the output of the sink you are using. For example, in my case I am using Solr sink. The file contains 400 lines. The flume agent is configured with batch size=100. When I run the flume agent, it fails at some point and throw that exception. At this point check how many documents are ingested in Solr. If the invalid json exists at line 346, the number of documents indexed into Solr will be 345, so the next line is the line which causes the problem.

In my case I followed the third option and fortunately I pinpoint the line which causes the problem.

This is a long answer but it actually does not solve the exception. How I overcome this exception?

I have no idea why Jackson library complain while parsing a json string contains escaped characters \n \r \t. I think (but I am not sure) the Jackson parser is by default escaping these characters which cases the json string to be split into two lines (in case of \n) and then it deals each line as a separate json string.

In my case we used a customized interceptor to remove these characters before being processed by the flume agent. This is the way we solved this problem.

How to programmatically log out from Facebook SDK 3.0 without using Facebook login/logout button?

Yup, As @luizfelippe mentioned Session class has been removed since SDK 4.0. We need to use LoginManager.

I just looked into LoginButton class for logout. They are making this kind of check. They logs out only if accessToken is not null. So, I think its better to have this in our code too..

AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
if(accessToken != null){
    LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
}

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class array_test {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String line = br.readLine();

String[] s_array = line.split(" ");

/* Splitting the array of number separated by space into string array.*/

Integer [] a = new Integer[s_array.length];

/Creating the int array of size equals to string array./

    for(int i =0; i<a.length;i++)
    {
        a[i]= Integer.parseInt(s_array[i]);// Parsing from string to int

        System.out.println(a[i]);
    }

    // your integer array is ready to use.

}

}

Change drawable color programmatically

This worked for me. Make sure to put "ff" between 0x and color code. Like this 0xff2196F3

Drawable mDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(MainActivity.this,R.drawable.ic_vector_home);
                    mDrawable.setColorFilter(new
                            PorterDuffColorFilter(0xff2196F3,PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));

How to write to a file without overwriting current contents?

Instead of "w" use "a" (append) mode with open function:

How can I pass command-line arguments to a Perl program?

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to use the two arguments as input files, you can just pass them in and then use <> to read their contents.

If they have a different meaning, you can use GetOpt::Std and GetOpt::Long to process them easily. GetOpt::Std supports only single-character switches and GetOpt::Long is much more flexible. From GetOpt::Long:

use Getopt::Long;
my $data   = "file.dat";
my $length = 24;
my $verbose;
$result = GetOptions ("length=i" => \$length,    # numeric
                    "file=s"   => \$data,      # string
                    "verbose"  => \$verbose);  # flag

Alternatively, @ARGV is a special variable that contains all the command line arguments. $ARGV[0] is the first (ie. "string1" in your case) and $ARGV[1] is the second argument. You don't need a special module to access @ARGV.

How can I do time/hours arithmetic in Google Spreadsheet?

Example of calculating time:

work-start   work-stop   lunchbreak    effective time

  07:30:00    17:00:00          1.5                 8  [=((A2-A1)*24)-A3]

If you subtract one time value from another the result you get will represent the fraction of 24 hours, so if you multiply the result with 24 you get the value represented in hours.

In other words: the operation is mutiply, but the meaning is to change the format of the number (from days to hours).

What is callback in Android?

Here is a nice tutorial, which describes callbacks and the use-case well.

The concept of callbacks is to inform a class synchronous / asynchronous if some work in another class is done. Some call it the Hollywood principle: "Don't call us we call you".

Here's a example:

class A implements ICallback {
     MyObject o;
     B b = new B(this, someParameter);

     @Override
     public void callback(MyObject o){
           this.o = o;
     }
}

class B {
     ICallback ic;
     B(ICallback ic, someParameter){
         this.ic = ic;
     }

    new Thread(new Runnable(){
         public void run(){
             // some calculation
             ic.callback(myObject)
         }
    }).start(); 
}

interface ICallback{
    public void callback(MyObject o);
}

Class A calls Class B to get some work done in a Thread. If the Thread finished the work, it will inform Class A over the callback and provide the results. So there is no need for polling or something. You will get the results as soon as they are available.

In Android Callbacks are used f.e. between Activities and Fragments. Because Fragments should be modular you can define a callback in the Fragment to call methods in the Activity.

Pandas read_csv low_memory and dtype options

I was facing a similar issue when processing a huge csv file (6 million rows). I had three issues:

  1. the file contained strange characters (fixed using encoding)
  2. the datatype was not specified (fixed using dtype property)
  3. Using the above I still faced an issue which was related with the file_format that could not be defined based on the filename (fixed using try .. except..)
    df = pd.read_csv(csv_file,sep=';', encoding = 'ISO-8859-1',
                     names=['permission','owner_name','group_name','size','ctime','mtime','atime','filename','full_filename'],
                     dtype={'permission':str,'owner_name':str,'group_name':str,'size':str,'ctime':object,'mtime':object,'atime':object,'filename':str,'full_filename':str,'first_date':object,'last_date':object})
    
    try:
        df['file_format'] = [Path(f).suffix[1:] for f in df.filename.tolist()]
    except:
        df['file_format'] = ''

Flexbox and Internet Explorer 11 (display:flex in <html>?)

You just need flex:1; It will fix issue for the IE11. I second Odisseas. Additionally assign 100% height to html,body elements.

CSS changes:

html, body{
    height:100%;
}
body {
    border: red 1px solid;
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: flex;
    -ms-flex-direction: column;
    -webkit-flex-direction: column;
    flex-direction: column;
}
header {
    background: #23bcfc;
}
main {
    background: #87ccfc;
    -ms-flex: 1;
    -webkit-flex: 1;
    flex: 1;
}
footer {
    background: #dd55dd;
}

String.contains in Java

no real explanation is given by Java (in either JavaDoc or much coveted code comments), but looking at the code, it seems that this is magic:

calling stack:

String.indexOf(char[], int, int, char[], int, int, int) line: 1591  
String.indexOf(String, int) line: 1564  
String.indexOf(String) line: 1546   
String.contains(CharSequence) line: 1934    

code:

/**
 * Code shared by String and StringBuffer to do searches. The
 * source is the character array being searched, and the target
 * is the string being searched for.
 *
 * @param   source       the characters being searched.
 * @param   sourceOffset offset of the source string.
 * @param   sourceCount  count of the source string.
 * @param   target       the characters being searched for.
 * @param   targetOffset offset of the target string.
 * @param   targetCount  count of the target string.
 * @param   fromIndex    the index to begin searching from.
 */
static int indexOf(char[] source, int sourceOffset, int sourceCount,
                   char[] target, int targetOffset, int targetCount,
                   int fromIndex) {
  if (fromIndex >= sourceCount) {
        return (targetCount == 0 ? sourceCount : -1);
  }
      if (fromIndex < 0) {
        fromIndex = 0;
      }
  if (targetCount == 0) {//my comment: this is where it returns, the size of the 
    return fromIndex;    // incoming string is 0,  which is passed in as targetCount
  }                      // fromIndex is 0 as well, as the search starts from the 
                         // start of the source string
    ...//the rest of the method 

How do I link to a library with Code::Blocks?

The gdi32 library is already installed on your computer, few programs will run without it. Your compiler will (if installed properly) normally come with an import library, which is what the linker uses to make a binding between your program and the file in the system. (In the unlikely case that your compiler does not come with import libraries for the system libs, you will need to download the Microsoft Windows Platform SDK.)

To link with gdi32:

enter image description here

This will reliably work with MinGW-gcc for all system libraries (it should work if you use any other compiler too, but I can't talk about things I've not tried). You can also write the library's full name, but writing libgdi32.a has no advantage over gdi32 other than being more type work.
If it does not work for some reason, you may have to provide a different name (for example the library is named gdi32.lib for MSVC).

For libraries in some odd locations or project subfolders, you will need to provide a proper pathname (click on the "..." button for a file select dialog).

What possibilities can cause "Service Unavailable 503" error?

Primarily what that means is that there are too many concurrent requests and further that they exceed the default 1000 queued requests. That is there are 1000 or more queued requests to your website.

This could happen (assuming there are no faults in your app) if there are long running tasks and as a result the Request queue is backed up.

Depending on how the application pool has been set up you may see this kind of thing. Typically, the app pool's Process Model has an item called Maximum Worker Processes. By default this is 1. If you set it to more than 1 (typically up to a max of the number of cores on the hardware) you may not see this happen.

Just to note that unless the site is extremely busy you should not see this. If you do, it's really pointing to long running tasks

How do I drop table variables in SQL-Server? Should I even do this?

Table variables are just like int or varchar variables.

You don't need to drop them. They have the same scope rules as int or varchar variables

The scope of a variable is the range of Transact-SQL statements that can reference the variable. The scope of a variable lasts from the point it is declared until the end of the batch or stored procedure in which it is declared.

Setting up and using Meld as your git difftool and mergetool

It can be complicated to compute a diff in your head from the different sections in $MERGED and apply that. In my setup, meld helps by showing you these diffs visually, using:

[merge]
    tool = mymeld
    conflictstyle = diff3

[mergetool "mymeld"]
    cmd = meld --diff $BASE $REMOTE --diff $REMOTE $LOCAL --diff $LOCAL $MERGED

It looks strange but offers a very convenient work-flow, using three tabs:

  1. in tab 1 you see (from left to right) the change that you should make in tab 2 to solve the merge conflict.

  2. in the right side of tab 2 you apply the "change that you should make" and copy the entire file contents to the clipboard (using ctrl-a and ctrl-c).

  3. in tab 3 replace the right side with the clipboard contents. If everything is correct, you will now see - from left to right - the same change as shown in tab 1 (but with different contexts). Save the changes made in this tab.

Notes:

  • don't edit anything in tab 1
  • don't save anything in tab 2 because that will produce annoying popups in tab 3

Verify host key with pysftp

How to install 2 Anacondas (Python 2 and 3) on Mac OS

Edit!: Please be sure that you should have both Python installed on your computer.

Maybe my answer is late for you but I can help someone who has the same problem!

You don't have to download both Anaconda.

If you are using Spyder and Jupyter in Anaconda environmen and,

If you have already Anaconda 2 type in Terminal:

    python3 -m pip install ipykernel

    python3 -m ipykernel install --user

If you have already Anaconda 3 then type in terminal:

    python2 -m pip install ipykernel

    python2 -m ipykernel install --user

Then before use Spyder you can choose Python environment like below! Sometimes only you can see root and your new Python environment, so root is your first anaconda environment!

Anaconda spyder Python 2.7 or 3.5

Also this is Jupyter. You can choose python version like this!

django no such table:

One way to sync your database to your django models is to delete your database file and run makemigrations and migrate commands again. This will reflect your django models structure to your database from scratch. Although, make sure to backup your database file before deleting in case you need your records.

This solution worked for me since I wasn't much bothered about the data and just wanted my db and models structure to sync up.

How to upload a file from Windows machine to Linux machine using command lines via PuTTy?

Pscp.exe is painfully slow.

Uploading files using WinSCP is like 10 times faster.

So, to do that from command line, first you got to add the winscp.com file to your %PATH%. It's not a top-level domain, but an executable .com file, which is located in your WinSCP installation directory.

Then just issue a simple command and your file will be uploaded much faster putty ever could:

WinSCP.com /command "open sftp://username:[email protected]:22" "put your_large_file.zip /var/www/somedirectory/" "exit"

And make sure your check the synchronize folders feature, which is basically what rsync does, so you won't ever want to use pscp.exe again.

WinSCP.com /command "help synchronize"

How to read user input into a variable in Bash?

Creating a range of dates in Python

Here's a one liner for bash scripts to get a list of weekdays, this is python 3. Easily modified for whatever, the int at the end is the number of days in the past you want.

python -c "import sys,datetime; print('\n'.join([(datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=x)).strftime(\"%Y/%m/%d\") for x in range(0,int(sys.argv[1])) if (datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=x)).isoweekday()<6]))" 10

Here is a variant to provide a start (or rather, end) date

python -c "import sys,datetime; print('\n'.join([(datetime.datetime.strptime(sys.argv[1],\"%Y/%m/%d\") - datetime.timedelta(days=x)).strftime(\"%Y/%m/%d \") for x in range(0,int(sys.argv[2])) if (datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=x)).isoweekday()<6]))" 2015/12/30 10

Here is a variant for arbitrary start and end dates. not that this isn't terribly efficient, but is good for putting in a for loop in a bash script:

python -c "import sys,datetime; print('\n'.join([(datetime.datetime.strptime(sys.argv[1],\"%Y/%m/%d\") + datetime.timedelta(days=x)).strftime(\"%Y/%m/%d\") for x in range(0,int((datetime.datetime.strptime(sys.argv[2], \"%Y/%m/%d\") - datetime.datetime.strptime(sys.argv[1], \"%Y/%m/%d\")).days)) if (datetime.datetime.strptime(sys.argv[1], \"%Y/%m/%d\") + datetime.timedelta(days=x)).isoweekday()<6]))" 2015/12/15 2015/12/30

Is there a way to make HTML5 video fullscreen?

A programmable way to do fullscreen is working now in both Firefox and Chrome (in their latest versions). The good news is that a spec has been draft here:

JSONObject item = new JSONObject();
item.put("information", "test");
item.put("id", 3);
item.put("name", "course1");
array.put(item);

json.put("course", array);

message = json.toString();

// message
// {"course":[{"id":3,"information":"test","name":"course1"}],"name":"student"}

JavaScript: Create and destroy class instance through class method

No. JavaScript is automatically garbage collected; the object's memory will be reclaimed only if the GC decides to run and the object is eligible for collection.

Seeing as that will happen automatically as required, what would be the purpose of reclaiming the memory explicitly?

Android how to use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()

Have in mind though, that getExternalStorageDirectory() is not going to work properly on some phones e.g. my Motorola razr maxx, as it has 2 cards /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard-ext - for internal and external SD cards respectfully. You will be getting the /mnt/sdcard only reply every time. Google must provide a way to deal with such a situation. As it renders many SD card aware apps (i.e card backup) failing miserably on these phones.

Split string into array

    var month = myDate.getMonth() + 1;
    var prettyDate = month + '/' + myDate.getDate() + '/' + myDate.getFullYear();
    $("#date_pretty").val(prettyDate);
});

How do I create documentation with Pydoc?

pydoc is fantastic for generating documentation, but the documentation has to be written in the first place. You must have docstrings in your source code as was mentioned by RocketDonkey in the comments:

"""
This example module shows various types of documentation available for use
with pydoc.  To generate HTML documentation for this module issue the
command:

    pydoc -w foo

"""

class Foo(object):
    """
    Foo encapsulates a name and an age.
    """
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        """
        Construct a new 'Foo' object.

        :param name: The name of foo
        :param age: The ageof foo
        :return: returns nothing
        """
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

def bar(baz):
    """
    Prints baz to the display.
    """
    print baz

if __name__ == '__main__':
    f = Foo('John Doe', 42)
    bar("hello world")

The first docstring provides instructions for creating the documentation with pydoc. There are examples of different types of docstrings so you can see how they look when generated with pydoc.

Redirecting to previous page after login? PHP

Another way, using SESSION

Assign current URL to session (use it on every page)

$_SESSION['rdrurl'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

and in your login page, use

if(isset($_SESSION['rdrurl']))
header('location: '.$_SESSION['rdrurl']);
else
header('location: http://example.com');

How can I open a website in my web browser using Python?

You can simply simply achieve it with any python module that gives you an interaction with command line(cmd) like subprocess, os, etc. but here I came up with examples on only two modules.

Here is syntax (command) cmd /c start browser_name "URL"

Example

import os
# or open with iexplore
os.system('cmd /c start iexplore "http://your_url"')

# or open with chrome
os.system('cmd /c start chrome "http://your_url"')
__import__('subprocess').getoutput('cmd /c start iexplore "http://your_url"')

You can also run the command in the cmd it will work to or use other module call click which mainly used for writing command line utilities.

here is how

import click

click.launch('http://your_url')

npm - "Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable."

Removing specific rows from a dataframe

This boils down to two distinct steps:

  1. Figure out when your condition is true, and hence compute a vector of booleans, or, as I prefer, their indices by wrapping it into which()
  2. Create an updated data.frame by excluding the indices from the previous step.

Here is an example:

R> set.seed(42)
R> DF <- data.frame(sub=rep(1:4, each=4), day=sample(1:4, 16, replace=TRUE))
R> DF
   sub day
1    1   4
2    1   4
3    1   2
4    1   4
5    2   3
6    2   3
7    2   3
8    2   1
9    3   3
10   3   3
11   3   2
12   3   3
13   4   4
14   4   2
15   4   2
16   4   4
R> ind <- which(with( DF, sub==2 & day==3 ))
R> ind
[1] 5 6 7
R> DF <- DF[ -ind, ]
R> table(DF)
   day
sub 1 2 3 4
  1 0 1 0 3
  2 1 0 0 0
  3 0 1 3 0
  4 0 2 0 2
R> 

And we see that sub==2 has only one entry remaining with day==1.

Edit The compound condition can be done with an 'or' as follows:

ind <- which(with( DF, (sub==1 & day==2) | (sub=3 & day=4) ))

and here is a new full example

R> set.seed(1)
R> DF <- data.frame(sub=rep(1:4, each=5), day=sample(1:4, 20, replace=TRUE))
R> table(DF)
   day
sub 1 2 3 4
  1 1 2 1 1
  2 1 0 2 2
  3 2 1 1 1
  4 0 2 1 2
R> ind <- which(with( DF, (sub==1 & day==2) | (sub==3 & day==4) ))
R> ind
[1]  1  2 15
R> DF <- DF[-ind, ]
R> table(DF)
   day
sub 1 2 3 4
  1 1 0 1 1
  2 1 0 2 2
  3 2 1 1 0
  4 0 2 1 2

taking input of a string word by word

Put the line in a stringstream and extract word by word back:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string t;
    getline(cin,t);

    istringstream iss(t);
    string word;
    while(iss >> word) {
        /* do stuff with word */
    }
}

Of course, you can just skip the getline part and read word by word from cin directly.

And here you can read why is using namespace std considered bad practice.

String.Format not work in TypeScript

You can declare it yourself quite easily:

interface StringConstructor {
    format: (formatString: string, ...replacement: any[]) => string;
}

String.format('','');

This is assuming that String.format is defined elsewhere. e.g. in Microsoft Ajax Toolkit : http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/Reference.String-format-Function.ashx
