Aesthetics must either be length one, or the same length as the dataProblems

It is better to not subset the variables inside aes(), and instead transform your data:

df1 <- unstack(df,form = price~product)
df1$skew <- rep(letters[2:1],each = 4)

p1 <- ggplot(df1, aes(x=p1, y=p3, colour=factor(skew))) + 
        geom_point(size=2, shape=19)
p1

Indexing vectors and arrays with +:

This is another way to specify the range of the bit-vector.

x +: N, The start position of the vector is given by x and you count up from x by N.

There is also

x -: N, in this case the start position is x and you count down from x by N.

N is a constant and x is an expression that can contain iterators.

It has a couple of benefits -

  1. It makes the code more readable.

  2. You can specify an iterator when referencing bit-slices without getting a "cannot have a non-constant value" error.

node.js: cannot find module 'request'

Go to directory of your project

mkdir TestProject
cd TestProject

Make this directory a root of your project (this will create a default package.json file)

npm init --yes

Install required npm module and save it as a project dependency (it will appear in package.json)

npm install request --save

Create a test.js file in project directory with code from package example

var request = require('request');
request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
  if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
    console.log(body); // Print the google web page.
  }
});

Your project directory should look like this

TestProject/
- node_modules/
- package.json
- test.js

Now just run node inside your project directory

node test.js

How to edit one specific row in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008?

Use the "Edit top 200" option, then click on "Show SQL panel", modify your query with your WHERE clause, and execute the query. You'll be able to edit the results.

push object into array

The below solution is more straight-forward. All you have to do is define one simple function that can "CREATE" the object from the two given items. Then simply apply this function to TWO arrays having elements for which you want to create object and save in resultArray.

var arr1 = ['01','02','03'];
var arr2 = ['item-1','item-2','item-3'];
resultArray = [];
    for (var j=0; j<arr1.length; j++) {
        resultArray[j] = new makeArray(arr1[j], arr2[j]);
    }
function makeArray(first,second) {
    this.first = first;
    this.second = second;
}

Python find elements in one list that are not in the other

I used two methods and I found one method useful over other. Here is my answer:

My input data:

crkmod_mpp = ['M13','M18','M19','M24']
testmod_mpp = ['M13','M14','M15','M16','M17','M18','M19','M20','M21','M22','M23','M24']

Method1: np.setdiff1d I like this approach over other because it preserves the position

test= list(np.setdiff1d(testmod_mpp,crkmod_mpp))
print(test)
['M15', 'M16', 'M22', 'M23', 'M20', 'M14', 'M17', 'M21']

Method2: Though it gives same answer as in Method1 but disturbs the order

test = list(set(testmod_mpp).difference(set(crkmod_mpp)))
print(test)
['POA23', 'POA15', 'POA17', 'POA16', 'POA22', 'POA18', 'POA24', 'POA21']

Method1 np.setdiff1d meets my requirements perfectly. This answer for information.

What is the difference between an expression and a statement in Python?

Expression -- from the New Oxford American Dictionary:

expression: Mathematics a collection of symbols that jointly express a quantity : the expression for the circumference of a circle is 2pr.

In gross general terms: Expressions produce at least one value.

In Python, expressions are covered extensively in the Python Language Reference In general, expressions in Python are composed of a syntactically legal combination of Atoms, Primaries and Operators.

Python expressions from Wikipedia

Examples of expressions:

Literals and syntactically correct combinations with Operators and built-in functions or the call of a user-written functions:

>>> 23
23
>>> 23l
23L
>>> range(4)
[0, 1, 2, 3] 
>>> 2L*bin(2)
'0b100b10'
>>> def func(a):      # Statement, just part of the example...
...    return a*a     # Statement...
... 
>>> func(3)*4
36    
>>> func(5) is func(a=5)
True

Statement from Wikipedia:

In computer programming a statement can be thought of as the smallest standalone element of an imperative programming language. A program is formed by a sequence of one or more statements. A statement will have internal components (e.g., expressions).

Python statements from Wikipedia

In gross general terms: Statements Do Something and are often composed of expressions (or other statements)

The Python Language Reference covers Simple Statements and Compound Statements extensively.

The distinction of "Statements do something" and "expressions produce a value" distinction can become blurry however:

  • List Comprehensions are considered "Expressions" but they have looping constructs and therfore also Do Something.
  • The if is usually a statement, such as if x<0: x=0 but you can also have a conditional expression like x=0 if x<0 else 1 that are expressions. In other languages, like C, this form is called an operator like this x=x<0?0:1;
  • You can write you own Expressions by writing a function. def func(a): return a*a is an expression when used but made up of statements when defined.
  • An expression that returns None is a procedure in Python: def proc(): pass Syntactically, you can use proc() as an expression, but that is probably a bug...
  • Python is a bit more strict than say C is on the differences between an Expression and Statement. In C, any expression is a legal statement. You can have func(x=2); Is that an Expression or Statement? (Answer: Expression used as a Statement with a side-effect.) The assignment statement of x=2 inside of the function call of func(x=2) in Python sets the named argument a to 2 only in the call to func and is more limited than the C example.

How to post object and List using postman

In case of simple example if your api is below

@POST
    @Path("update_accounts")
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    @PermissionRequired(Permissions.UPDATE_ACCOUNTS)
    void createLimit(List<AccountUpdateRequest> requestList) throws RuntimeException;

where AccountUpdateRequest :

public class AccountUpdateRequest {
    private Long accountId;
    private AccountType accountType;
    private BigDecimal amount;
...
}

then your postman request would be: http://localhost:port/update_accounts

[
         {
            "accountType": "LEDGER",
            "accountId": 11111,
            "amount": 100
         },
         {
            "accountType": "LEDGER",
            "accountId": 2222,
            "amount": 300
          },
         {
            "accountType": "LEDGER",
            "accountId": 3333,
            "amount": 1000
          }

Sticky Header after scrolling down

This was not working for me in Firefox.

We added a conditional based on whether the code places the overflow at the html level. See Animate scrollTop not working in firefox.

  var $header = $("#header #menu-wrap-left"),
  $clone = $header.before($header.clone().addClass("clone"));

  $(window).on("scroll", function() {
    var fromTop = Array(); 
    fromTop["body"] = $("body").scrollTop();
    fromTop["html"] = $("body,html").scrollTop();

if (fromTop["body"]) 
    $('body').toggleClass("down", (fromTop["body"] > 650));

if (fromTop["html"]) 
    $('body,html').toggleClass("down", (fromTop["html"] > 650));

  });

"A lambda expression with a statement body cannot be converted to an expression tree"

Use this overload of select:

    var someLocalVar = o.someVar;

    return new Obj() 
    { 
       Var1 = someLocalVar,
       Var2 = o.var2 
    };
})).ToArray();

jquery - Click event not working for dynamically created button

the simple and easy way to do that is use on event:

$('body').on('click','#element',function(){
    //somthing
});

but we can say this is not the best way to do this. I suggest a another way to do this is use clone() method instead of using dynamic html. Write some html in you file for example:

<div id='div1'></div>

Now in the script tag make a clone of this div then all the properties of this div would follow with new element too. For Example:

var dynamicDiv = jQuery('#div1').clone(true);

Now use the element dynamicDiv wherever you want to add it or change its properties as you like. Now all jQuery functions will work with this element

What is the fastest way to compare two sets in Java?

If you simply want to know if the sets are equal, the equals method on AbstractSet is implemented roughly as below:

    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (o == this)
            return true;
        if (!(o instanceof Set))
            return false;
        Collection c = (Collection) o;
        if (c.size() != size())
            return false;
        return containsAll(c);
    }

Note how it optimizes the common cases where:

  • the two objects are the same
  • the other object is not a set at all, and
  • the two sets' sizes are different.

After that, containsAll(...) will return false as soon as it finds an element in the other set that is not also in this set. But if all elements are present in both sets, it will need to test all of them.

The worst case performance therefore occurs when the two sets are equal but not the same objects. That cost is typically O(N) or O(NlogN) depending on the implementation of this.containsAll(c).

And you get close-to-worst case performance if the sets are large and only differ in a tiny percentage of the elements.


UPDATE

If you are willing to invest time in a custom set implementation, there is an approach that can improve the "almost the same" case.

The idea is that you need to pre-calculate and cache a hash for the entire set so that you could get the set's current hashcode value in O(1). Then you can compare the hashcode for the two sets as an acceleration.

How could you implement a hashcode like that? Well if the set hashcode was:

  • zero for an empty set, and
  • the XOR of all of the element hashcodes for a non-empty set,

then you could cheaply update the set's cached hashcode each time you added or removed an element. In both cases, you simply XOR the element's hashcode with the current set hashcode.

Of course, this assumes that element hashcodes are stable while the elements are members of sets. It also assumes that the element classes hashcode function gives a good spread. That is because when the two set hashcodes are the same you still have to fall back to the O(N) comparison of all elements.


You could take this idea a bit further ... at least in theory.

WARNING - This is highly speculative. A "thought experiment" if you like.

Suppose that your set element class has a method to return a crypto checksums for the element. Now implement the set's checksums by XORing the checksums returned for the elements.

What does this buy us?

Well, if we assume that nothing underhand is going on, the probability that any two unequal set elements have the same N-bit checksums is 2-N. And the probability 2 unequal sets have the same N-bit checksums is also 2-N. So my idea is that you can implement equals as:

    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (o == this)
            return true;
        if (!(o instanceof Set))
            return false;
        Collection c = (Collection) o;
        if (c.size() != size())
            return false;
        return checksums.equals(c.checksums);
    }

Under the assumptions above, this will only give you the wrong answer once in 2-N time. If you make N large enough (e.g. 512 bits) the probability of a wrong answer becomes negligible (e.g. roughly 10-150).

The downside is that computing the crypto checksums for elements is very expensive, especially as the number of bits increases. So you really need an effective mechanism for memoizing the checksums. And that could be problematic.

And the other downside is that a non-zero probability of error may be unacceptable no matter how small the probability is. (But if that is the case ... how do you deal with the case where a cosmic ray flips a critical bit? Or if it simultaneously flips the same bit in two instances of a redundant system?)

How to find whether a number belongs to a particular range in Python?

No, you can't do that. range() expects integer arguments. If you want to know if x is inside this range try some form of this:

print 0.0 <= x <= 0.5

Be careful with your upper limit. If you use range() it is excluded (range(0, 5) does not include 5!)

Typing Greek letters etc. in Python plots

Why not just use the literal characters?

fig.gca().set_xlabel("wavelength, (Å)")
fig.gca().set_ylabel("?")

You might have to add this to the file if you are using python 2:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import unicode literals  # or use u"unicode strings"

It might be easier to define constants for characters that are not easy to type on your keyboard.

ANGSTROM, LAMDBA = "Å?"

Then you can reuse them elsewhere.

fig.gca().set_xlabel("wavelength, (%s)" % ANGSTROM)
fig.gca().set_ylabel(LAMBDA)

Should I make HTML Anchors with 'name' or 'id'?

Heads up for JavaScript users: all IDs become global variables under window.

<h1 id="foo">Foo Title</h1>

Just created the JS global:

window.foo

The value of window.foo will be the HTMLElement for the h1.

Unless you can guarantee all values used in id attributes are safe, you may prefer sticking to name:

<h1 name="foo">Foo Title</h1>

Git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches

I suspect there is no remote branch named remote-name, but that you've inadvertently created a local branch named origin/remote-name.

Is it possible you at some point typed:

git branch origin/remote-name

Thus creating a local branch named origin/remote-name? Type this command:

git checkout origin/remote-name

You'll either see:

Switched to branch "origin/remote-name"

which means it's really a mis-named local branch, or

Note: moving to "origin/rework-isscoring" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
  git checkout -b 

which means it really is a remote branch.

Python xml ElementTree from a string source?

You can parse the text as a string, which creates an Element, and create an ElementTree using that Element.

How to run a makefile in Windows?

If it is a "NMake Makefile", that is to say the syntax and command is compatible with NMake, it will work natively on Windows. Usually Makefile.win (the .win suffix) indicates it's a makefile compatible with Windows NMake. So you could try nmake -f Makefile.win.

Often standard Linux Makefiles are provided and NMake looks promising. However, the following link takes a simple Linux Makefile and explains some fundamental issues that one may encounter. It also suggests a few alternatives to handling Linux Makefiles on Windows.

Makefiles in Windows

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 pass parameters to ThreadStart method in Thread?

You want to use the ParameterizedThreadStart delegate for thread methods that take parameters. (Or none at all actually, and let the Thread constructor infer.)

Example usage:

var thread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(download));
//var thread = new Thread(download); // equivalent

thread.Start(filename)

how to pass value from one php page to another using session

Use something like this:

page1.php

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['myValue']=3; // You can set the value however you like.
?>

Any other PHP page:

<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['myValue'];
?>

A few notes to keep in mind though: You need to call session_start() BEFORE any output, HTML, echos - even whitespace.

You can keep changing the value in the session - but it will only be able to be used after the first page - meaning if you set it in page 1, you will not be able to use it until you get to another page or refresh the page.

The setting of the variable itself can be done in one of a number of ways:

$_SESSION['myValue']=1;
$_SESSION['myValue']=$var;
$_SESSION['myValue']=$_GET['YourFormElement'];

And if you want to check if the variable is set before getting a potential error, use something like this:

if(!empty($_SESSION['myValue'])
{
    echo $_SESSION['myValue'];
}
else
{
    echo "Session not set yet.";
}

How to create loading dialogs in Android?

It's a ProgressDialog, with setIndeterminate(true).

From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#ProgressDialog

ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this, "",

An indeterminate progress bar doesn't actually show a bar, it shows a spinning activity circle thing. I'm sure you know what I mean :)

Using PropertyInfo to find out the property type

I just stumbled upon this great post. If you are just checking whether the data is of string type then maybe we can skip the loop and use this struct (in my humble opinion)

public static bool IsStringType(object data)
    {
        return (data.GetType().GetProperties().Where(x => x.PropertyType == typeof(string)).FirstOrDefault() != null);
    }

Unloading classes in java?

Classloaders can be a tricky problem. You can especially run into problems if you're using multiple classloaders and don't have their interactions clearly and rigorously defined. I think in order to actually be able to unload a class youlre going go have to remove all references to any classes(and their instances) you're trying to unload.

Most people needing to do this type of thing end up using OSGi. OSGi is really powerful and surprisingly lightweight and easy to use,

Detecting endianness programmatically in a C++ program

   char *c = (char*)&i; 
   if (*c)     
       printf("Little endian"); 
   else

Add ripple effect to my button with button background color?

Add Ripple Effect/Animation to a Android Button

Just replace your button background attribute with android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground" and your code looks like this.

      <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
        android:text="New Button" />

Another Way to Add Ripple Effect/Animation to an Android Button

Using this method, you can customize ripple effect color. First, you have to create a xml file in your drawable resource directory. Create a ripple_effect.xml file and add following code. res/drawable/ripple_effect.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:color="#f816a463"
    tools:targetApi="lollipop">
    <item android:id="@android:id/mask">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#f816a463" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</ripple>

And set background of button to above drawable resource file

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/ripple_effect"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:text="New Button" />

Java/Groovy - simple date reformatting

With Groovy, you don't need the includes, and can just do:

String oldDate = '04-DEC-2012'
Date date = Date.parse( 'dd-MMM-yyyy', oldDate )
String newDate = date.format( 'M-d-yyyy' )

println newDate

To print:

12-4-2012

how to change php version in htaccess in server

Try this to switch to php4:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php

Upd. Looks like I didn't understand your question correctly. This will not help if you have only php 4 on your server.

What are the differences between Mustache.js and Handlebars.js?

You've pretty much nailed it, however Mustache templates can also be compiled.

Mustache is missing helpers and the more advanced blocks because it strives to be logicless. Handlebars' custom helpers can be very useful, but often end up introducing logic into your templates.

Mustache has many different compilers (JavaScript, Ruby, Python, C, etc.). Handlebars began in JavaScript, now there are projects like django-handlebars, handlebars.java, handlebars-ruby, lightncandy (PHP), and handlebars-objc.

React component not re-rendering on state change

In my case, I was calling this.setState({}) correctly, but I my function wasn't bound to this, so it wasn't working. Adding .bind(this) to the function call or doing this.foo = this.foo.bind(this) in the constructor fixed it.

How do I change the select box arrow

You can skip the container or background image with pure css arrow:

select {

  /* make arrow and background */

  background:
    linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 50%, blue 50%),
    linear-gradient(135deg, blue 50%, transparent 50%),
    linear-gradient(to right, skyblue, skyblue);
  background-position:
    calc(100% - 21px) calc(1em + 2px),
    calc(100% - 16px) calc(1em + 2px),
    100% 0;
  background-size:
    5px 5px,
    5px 5px,
    2.5em 2.5em;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;

  /* styling and reset */

  border: thin solid blue;
  font: 300 1em/100% "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
  line-height: 1.5em;
  padding: 0.5em 3.5em 0.5em 1em;

  /* reset */

  border-radius: 0;
  margin: 0;      
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-appearance:none;
  -moz-appearance:none;
}

What is the difference between React Native and React?

Here is a very nice explanation:

Reactjs is a JavaScript library that supports both front-end and server. Furthermore, it can be used to create user interfaces for mobile apps and websites.

React Native is a cross-platform mobile framework that uses Reactjs for building apps and websites. React Native compiles to native app components enables the programmer to build mobile applications that can run on different platforms such as Windows, Android, iOS in JavaScript.

  • Reactjs can be described as a base derivative of React DOM, for the web platform while React Native is a base derivative in itself, which means that the syntax and workflow remain the same, but components alter.

  • Reactjs, eventually, is a JavaScript library, which enables the programmer to create an engaging and high performing UI Layer while React Native is an entire framework for building cross-platform apps, be it web, iOS or Android.

  • In Reactjs, virtual DOM is used to render browser code in Reactjs while in React Native, native APIs are used to render components in mobile.

  • The apps developed with Reactjs renders HTML in UI while React Native uses JSX for rendering UI, which is nothing but javascript.

  • CSS is used for creating styling in Reactjs while a stylesheet is used for styling in React Native.

  • In Reactjs, the animation is possible, using CSS, just like web development while in React Native, an animated API is used for inducing animation across different components of the React Native application.

  • If the need is to build a high performing, dynamic, and responsive UI for web interfaces, then Reactjs is the best option while if the need is to give mobile apps a truly native feeling, then React Native is the best option.

Save PHP array to MySQL?

check out the implode function, since the values are in an array, you want to put the values of the array into a mysql query that inserts the values into a table.

$query = "INSERT INto hardware (specifications) VALUES (".implode(",",$specifications).")";

If the values in the array are text values, you will need to add quotes

$query = "INSERT INto hardware (specifications) VALUES ("'.implode("','",$specifications)."')";

mysql_query($query);

Also, if you don't want duplicate values, switch the "INto" to "IGNORE" and only unique values will be inserted into the table.

                        String value = jsonObject.getString(key);
                        params.put(key, value);

                    }

How is Docker different from a virtual machine?

Most of the answers here talk about virtual machines. I'm going to give you a one-liner response to this question that has helped me the most over the last couple years of using Docker. It's this:

Docker is just a fancy way to run a process, not a virtual machine.

Now, let me explain a bit more about what that means. Virtual machines are their own beast. I feel like explaining what Docker is will help you understand this more than explaining what a virtual machine is. Especially because there are many fine answers here telling you exactly what someone means when they say "virtual machine". So...

A Docker container is just a process (and its children) that is compartmentalized using cgroups inside the host system's kernel from the rest of the processes. You can actually see your Docker container processes by running ps aux on the host. For example, starting apache2 "in a container" is just starting apache2 as a special process on the host. It's just been compartmentalized from other processes on the machine. It is important to note that your containers do not exist outside of your containerized process' lifetime. When your process dies, your container dies. That's because Docker replaces pid 1 inside your container with your application (pid 1 is normally the init system). This last point about pid 1 is very important.

As far as the filesystem used by each of those container processes, Docker uses UnionFS-backed images, which is what you're downloading when you do a docker pull ubuntu. Each "image" is just a series of layers and related metadata. The concept of layering is very important here. Each layer is just a change from the layer underneath it. For example, when you delete a file in your Dockerfile while building a Docker container, you're actually just creating a layer on top of the last layer which says "this file has been deleted". Incidentally, this is why you can delete a big file from your filesystem, but the image still takes up the same amount of disk space. The file is still there, in the layers underneath the current one. Layers themselves are just tarballs of files. You can test this out with docker save --output /tmp/ubuntu.tar ubuntu and then cd /tmp && tar xvf ubuntu.tar. Then you can take a look around. All those directories that look like long hashes are actually the individual layers. Each one contains files (layer.tar) and metadata (json) with information about that particular layer. Those layers just describe changes to the filesystem which are saved as a layer "on top of" its original state. When reading the "current" data, the filesystem reads data as though it were looking only at the top-most layers of changes. That's why the file appears to be deleted, even though it still exists in "previous" layers, because the filesystem is only looking at the top-most layers. This allows completely different containers to share their filesystem layers, even though some significant changes may have happened to the filesystem on the top-most layers in each container. This can save you a ton of disk space, when your containers share their base image layers. However, when you mount directories and files from the host system into your container by way of volumes, those volumes "bypass" the UnionFS, so changes are not stored in layers.

Networking in Docker is achieved by using an ethernet bridge (called docker0 on the host), and virtual interfaces for every container on the host. It creates a virtual subnet in docker0 for your containers to communicate "between" one another. There are many options for networking here, including creating custom subnets for your containers, and the ability to "share" your host's networking stack for your container to access directly.

Docker is moving very fast. Its documentation is some of the best documentation I've ever seen. It is generally well-written, concise, and accurate. I recommend you check the documentation available for more information, and trust the documentation over anything else you read online, including Stack Overflow. If you have specific questions, I highly recommend joining #docker on Freenode IRC and asking there (you can even use Freenode's webchat for that!).

How to check if ping responded or not in a batch file

The following checklink.cmd program is a good place to start. It relies on the fact that you can do a single-shot ping and that, if successful, the output will contain the line:

Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 1, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

By extracting tokens 5 and 7 and checking they're respectively "Received" and "1,", you can detect the success.

@setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
@echo off
set ipaddr=%1
:loop
set state=down
for /f "tokens=5,6,7" %%a in ('ping -n 1 !ipaddr!') do (
    if "x%%b"=="xunreachable." goto :endloop
    if "x%%a"=="xReceived" if "x%%c"=="x1,"  set state=up
)
:endloop
echo.Link is !state!
ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 >nul: 2>nul:
goto :loop
endlocal

Call it with the name (or IP address) you want to test:

checklink 127.0.0.1
checklink localhost
checklink nosuchaddress

Take into account that, if your locale is not English, you must replace Received with the corresponding keyword in your locale, for example recibidos for Spanish. Do a test ping to discover what keyword is used in your locale.


To only notify you when the state changes, you can use:

@setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
@echo off
set ipaddr=%1
set oldstate=neither
:loop
set state=down
for /f "tokens=5,7" %%a in ('ping -n 1 !ipaddr!') do (
    if "x%%a"=="xReceived" if "x%%b"=="x1," set state=up
)
if not !state!==!oldstate! (
    echo.Link is !state!
    set oldstate=!state!
)
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >nul: 2>nul:
goto :loop
endlocal

However, as Gabe points out in a comment, you can just use ERRORLEVEL so the equivalent of that second script above becomes:

@setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
@echo off
set ipaddr=%1
set oldstate=neither
:loop
set state=up
ping -n 1 !ipaddr! >nul: 2>nul:
if not !errorlevel!==0 set state=down
if not !state!==!oldstate! (
    echo.Link is !state!
    set oldstate=!state!
)
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >nul: 2>nul:
goto :loop
endlocal

Should I use typescript? or I can just use ES6?

Decision tree between ES5, ES6 and TypeScript

Do you mind having a build step?

  • Yes - Use ES5
  • No - keep going

Do you want to use types?

  • Yes - Use TypeScript
  • No - Use ES6

More Details

ES5 is the JavaScript you know and use in the browser today it is what it is and does not require a build step to transform it into something that will run in today's browsers

ES6 (also called ES2015) is the next iteration of JavaScript, but it does not run in today's browsers. There are quite a few transpilers that will export ES5 for running in browsers. It is still a dynamic (read: untyped) language.

TypeScript provides an optional typing system while pulling in features from future versions of JavaScript (ES6 and ES7).

Note: a lot of the transpilers out there (i.e. babel, TypeScript) will allow you to use features from future versions of JavaScript today and exporting code that will still run in today's browsers.

Spring RestTemplate timeout

This question is the first link for a Spring Boot search, therefore, would be great to put here the solution recommended in the official documentation. Spring Boot has its own convenience bean RestTemplateBuilder:

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate(
        RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) {

    return restTemplateBuilder
            .setConnectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(500))
            .setReadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(500))
            .build();
}

Manual creation of RestTemplate instances is a potentially troublesome approach because other auto-configured beans are not being injected in manually created instances.

Blur the edges of an image or background image with CSS

If you set the image in div, you also must set both height and width. This may cause the image to lose its proportion. In addition, you must set the image URL in CSS instead of HTML.

Instead, you can set the image using the IMG tag. In the container class you can only set the width in percent or pixel and the height will automatically maintain proportion.

This is also more effective for accessibility of search engines and reading engines to define an image using an IMG tag.

Avoiding "resource is out of sync with the filesystem"

This happens to me all the time.

Go to the error log, find the exception, and open a few levels until you can see something more like a root cause. Does it says "Resource is out of sync with the file system" ?

When renaming packages, of course, Eclipse has to move files around in the file system. Apparently what happens is that it later discovers that something it thinks it needs to clean up has been renamed, can't find it, throws an exception.

There are a couple of things you might try. First, go to Window: Preferences, Workspace, and enable "Refresh Automatically". In theory this should fix the problem, but for me, it didn't.

Second, if you are doing a large refactoring with subpackages, do the subpackages one at a time, from the bottom up, and explicitly refresh with the file system after each subpackage is renamed.

Third, just ignore the error: when the error dialog comes up, click Abort to preserve the partial change, instead of rolling it back. Try it again, and again, and you may find you can get through the entire operation using multiple retries.

What is the "continue" keyword and how does it work in Java?

Continue is a keyword in Java & it is used to skip the current iteration.

Suppose you want to print all odd numbers from 1 to 100

public class Main {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

    //Program to print all odd numbers from 1 to 100

        for(int i=1 ; i<=100 ; i++) {
            if(i % 2 == 0) {
                continue;
            }
            System.out.println(i);
        }

    }
}

continue statement in the above program simply skips the iteration when i is even and prints the value of i when it is odd.

Continue statement simply takes you out of the loop without executing the remaining statements inside the loop and triggers the next iteration.

Print values for multiple variables on the same line from within a for-loop

As an additional note, there is no need for the for loop because of R's vectorization.

This:

P <- 243.51
t <- 31 / 365
n <- 365

for (r in seq(0.15, 0.22, by = 0.01))    
     A <- P * ((1 + (r/ n))^ (n * t))
     interest <- A - P
}

is equivalent to:

P <- 243.51
t <- 31 / 365
n <- 365
r <- seq(0.15, 0.22, by = 0.01)
A <- P * ((1 + (r/ n))^ (n * t))
interest <- A - P

Because r is a vector, the expression above containing it is performed for all values of the vector.

How to create a popup window (PopupWindow) in Android

I construct my own class, and then call it from my activity, overriding small methods like showAtLocation. I've found its easier when I have 4 to 5 popups in my activity to do this.

public class ToggleValues implements OnClickListener{

    private View pView;
    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    private PopupWindow pop;
    private Button one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, blank;

        inflater = (LayoutInflater) c.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        pop = new PopupWindow(inflater.inflate(id, null, false), 265, (int)(screenHeight * 0.45), true);
        pop.setBackgroundDrawable(c.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.alpha_0));
        pView = pop.getContentView();

        appear = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(c, R.anim.appear);

Recommendation for compressing JPG files with ImageMagick

I would add an useful side note and a general suggestion to minimize JPG and PNG.

First of all, ImageMagick reads (or better "guess"...) the input jpeg compression level and so if you don't add -quality NN at all, the output should use the same level as input. Sometimes could be an important feature. Otherwise the default level is -quality 92 (see www.imagemagick.org)

The suggestion is about a really awesome free tool ImageOptim, also for batch process.
You can get smaller jpgs (and pngs as well, especially after the use of the free ImageAlpha [not batch process] or the free Pngyu if you need batch process).
Not only, these tools are for Mac and Win and as Command Line (I suggest installing using Brew and then searching in Brew formulas).

Java. Implicit super constructor Employee() is undefined. Must explicitly invoke another constructor

ProductionWorker extends Employee, thus it is said that it has all the capabilities of an Employee. In order to accomplish that, Java automatically puts a super(); call in each constructor's first line, you can put it manually but usually it is not necessary. In your case, it is necessary because the call to super(); cannot be placed automatically due to the fact that Employee's constructor has parameters.

You either need to define a default constructor in your Employee class, or call super('Erkan', 21, new Date()); in the first line of the constructor in ProductionWorker.

How to make an ImageView with rounded corners?

if your image is on internet the best way is using glide and RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory (from API 21 - but available in support library) like so:

 Glide.with(ctx).load(url).asBitmap().centerCrop().into(new BitmapImageViewTarget(imageView) {
    @Override
    protected void setResource(Bitmap res) {
        RoundedBitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable =
             RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(ctx.getResources(), res);
        bitmapDrawable.setCircular(true);//comment this line and uncomment the next line if you dont want it fully cricular
        //circularBitmapDrawable.setCornerRadius(cornerRadius);
        imageView.setImageDrawable(bitmapDrawable);
    }
});

How to detect internet speed in JavaScript?

Mini snippet:

var speedtest = {};
function speedTest_start(name) { speedtest[name]= +new Date(); }
function speedTest_stop(name) { return +new Date() - speedtest[name] + (delete 
speedtest[name]?0:0); }

use like:

speedTest_start("test1");

// ... some code

speedTest_stop("test1");
// returns the time duration in ms

Also more tests possible:

speedTest_start("whole");

// ... some code

speedTest_start("part");

// ... some code

speedTest_stop("part");
// returns the time duration in ms of "part"

// ... some code

speedTest_stop("whole");
// returns the time duration in ms of "whole"

set -e

# Add your script below....
# If an error occurs, the abort() function will be called.
#----------------------------------------------------------
# ===> Your script goes here

How can I replace a newline (\n) using sed?

In order to replace all newlines with spaces using awk, without reading the whole file into memory:

awk '{printf "%s ", $0}' inputfile

If you want a final newline:

awk '{printf "%s ", $0} END {printf "\n"}' inputfile

You can use a character other than space:

awk '{printf "%s|", $0} END {printf "\n"}' inputfile

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

I have come up with the same issue, instead of storing images, that eventually overflow the local storage, you can just store the path to the image. something like:

arrayImagenes.push(imagen);

PHP filesize MB/KB conversion

This is based on @adnan's great answer.

Changes:

  • added internal filesize() call
  • return early style
  • saving one concatentation on 1 byte

And you can still pull the filesize() call out of the function, in order to get a pure bytes formatting function. But this works on a file.


/**
 * Formats filesize in human readable way.
 *
 * @param file $file
 * @return string Formatted Filesize, e.g. "113.24 MB".
 */
function filesize_formatted($file)
{
    $bytes = filesize($file);

    if ($bytes >= 1073741824) {
        return number_format($bytes / 1073741824, 2) . ' GB';
    } elseif ($bytes >= 1048576) {
        return number_format($bytes / 1048576, 2) . ' MB';
    } elseif ($bytes >= 1024) {
        return number_format($bytes / 1024, 2) . ' KB';
    } elseif ($bytes > 1) {
        return $bytes . ' bytes';
    } elseif ($bytes == 1) {
        return '1 byte';
    } else {
        return '0 bytes';
    }
}

Spring Boot @autowired does not work, classes in different package

When you use @SpringBootApplication annotation in for example package

com.company.config

it will automatically make component scan like this:

@ComponentScan("com.company.config") 

So it will NOT scan packages like com.company.controller etc.. Thats why you have to declare your @SpringBootApplication in package one level prior to your normal packages like this: com.company OR use scanBasePackages property, like this:

@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = { "com.company" })

OR componentScan:

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.company")

How do you import classes in JSP?

FYI - if you are importing a List into a JSP, chances are pretty good that you are violating MVC principles. Take a few hours now to read up on the MVC approach to web app development (including use of taglibs) - do some more googling on the subject, it's fascinating and will definitely help you write better apps.

If you are doing anything more complicated than a single JSP displaying some database results, please consider using a framework like Spring, Grails, etc... It will absolutely take you a bit more effort to get going, but it will save you so much time and effort down the road that I really recommend it. Besides, it's cool stuff :-)

Relative paths based on file location instead of current working directory

@Martin Konecny's answer provides the correct answer, but - as he mentions - it only works if the actual script is not invoked through a symlink residing in a different directory.

This answer covers that case: a solution that also works when the script is invoked through a symlink or even a chain of symlinks:


Linux / GNU readlink solution:

If your script needs to run on Linux only or you know that GNU readlink is in the $PATH, use readlink -f, which conveniently resolves a symlink to its ultimate target:

 scriptDir=$(dirname -- "$(readlink -f -- "$BASH_SOURCE")")

Note that GNU readlink has 3 related options for resolving a symlink to its ultimate target's full path: -f (--canonicalize), -e (--canonicalize-existing), and -m (--canonicalize-missing) - see man readlink.
Since the target by definition exists in this scenario, any of the 3 options can be used; I've chosen -f here, because it is the most well-known one.


Multi-(Unix-like-)platform solution (including platforms with a POSIX-only set of utilities):

If your script must run on any platform that:

  • has a readlink utility, but lacks the -f option (in the GNU sense of resolving a symlink to its ultimate target) - e.g., macOS.

    • macOS uses an older version of the BSD implementation of readlink; note that recent versions of FreeBSD/PC-BSD do support -f.
  • does not even have readlink, but has POSIX-compatible utilities - e.g., HP-UX (thanks, @Charles Duffy).

The following solution, inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/a/1116890/45375, defines helper shell function, rreadlink(), which resolves a given symlink to its ultimate target in a loop - this function is in effect a POSIX-compliant implementation of GNU readlink's -e option, which is similar to the -f option, except that the ultimate target must exist.

Note: The function is a bash function, and is POSIX-compliant only in the sense that only POSIX utilities with POSIX-compliant options are used. For a version of this function that is itself written in POSIX-compliant shell code (for /bin/sh), see here.

  • If readlink is available, it is used (without options) - true on most modern platforms.

  • Otherwise, the output from ls -l is parsed, which is the only POSIX-compliant way to determine a symlink's target.
    Caveat: this will break if a filename or path contains the literal substring -> - which is unlikely, however.
    (Note that platforms that lack readlink may still provide other, non-POSIX methods for resolving a symlink; e.g., @Charles Duffy mentions HP-UX's find utility supporting the %l format char. with its -printf primary; in the interest of brevity the function does NOT try to detect such cases.)

  • An installable utility (script) form of the function below (with additional functionality) can be found as rreadlink in the npm registry; on Linux and macOS, install it with [sudo] npm install -g rreadlink; on other platforms (assuming they have bash), follow the manual installation instructions.

If the argument is a symlink, the ultimate target's canonical path is returned; otherwise, the argument's own canonical path is returned.

  while :; do # Resolve potential symlinks until the ultimate target is found.

        else # `readlink` utility not available.
          # Parse `ls -l` output, which, unfortunately, is the only POSIX-compliant 
          # way to determine a symlink's target. Hypothetically, this can break with
          # filenames containig literal ' -> ' and embedded newlines.
          target=$(command ls -l -- "$fname")
          target=${target#* -> }

Storing a Key Value Array into a compact JSON string

So why don't you simply use a key-value literal?

var params = {
    'slide0001.html': 'Looking Ahead',
    'slide0002.html': 'Forecase',
    ...
};

return params['slide0001.html']; // returns: Looking Ahead

In Gradle, is there a better way to get Environment Variables?

I couldn't get the form suggested by @thoredge to work in Gradle 1.11, but this works for me:

home = System.getenv('HOME')

It helps to keep in mind that anything that works in pure Java will work in Gradle too.

How can I check the size of a collection within a Django template?

You can try with:

document .click function for touch device

the approved answer does not include the essential return false to prevent touchstart from calling click if click is implemented which will result in running the handler twoce.

do:

$(btn).on('click touchstart', e => {

How to insert tab character when expandtab option is on in Vim

You can use <CTRL-V><Tab> in "insert mode". In insert mode, <CTRL-V> inserts a literal copy of your next character.

If you need to do this often, @Dee`Kej suggested (in the comments) setting Shift+Tab to insert a real tab with this mapping:

:inoremap <S-Tab> <C-V><Tab>

Also, as noted by @feedbackloop, on Windows you may need to press <CTRL-Q> rather than <CTRL-V>.

Difference between TCP and UDP?

Simple Explanation by Analogy

TCP is like this.

Imagine you have a pen-pal on Mars (we communicated with written letters back in the good ol' days before the internet).

You need to send your pen pal the seven habits of highly effective people. So you decide to send it in seven separate letters:

  1. Letter 1 - Be proactive
  2. Letter 2 - Begin with the end in mind...

etc.

etc..Letter 7 - Sharpen the Saw

Requirements:

You want to make sure that your pen pal receives all your letters - in order and that they arrive perfectly. If your pen pay receives letter 7 before letter 1 - that's no good. if your pen pal receives all letters except letter 3 - that also is no good.

Here's how we ensure that our requirements are met:

  • Confirmation Letter: So your pen pal sends a confirmation letter to say "I have received letter 1". That way you know that your pen pal has received it. If a letter does not arrive, or arrives out of order, then you have to stop, and go back and re-send that letter, and all subsequent letters.
  • Flow Control: Around the time of Xmas you know that your pen pal will be receiving a lot of mail, so you slow down because you don't want to overwhelm your pen pal. (Your pen pal sends you constant updates about the number of unread messages there are in penpal's mailbox - if your pen pal says that the inbox is about to explode because it is so full, then you slow down sending your letters - because your pen pal won't be able to read them.
  • Perfect arrival. Sometimes while you send your letter in the mail, it can get torn, or a snail can eat half of it. How do you know that all your letter has arrived in perfect condition? Well your pen pal will give you a mechanism by which you can check whether they've got the full letter and that it was the exactly the letter that you sent. (e.g. via a word count etc. ). a basic analogy.

Differences between socket.io and websockets

Misconceptions

There are few common misconceptions regarding WebSocket and Socket.IO:

  1. The first misconception is that using Socket.IO is significantly easier than using WebSocket which doesn't seem to be the case. See examples below.

  2. The second misconception is that WebSocket is not widely supported in the browsers. See below for more info.

  3. The third misconception is that Socket.IO downgrades the connection as a fallback on older browsers. It actually assumes that the browser is old and starts an AJAX connection to the server, that gets later upgraded on browsers supporting WebSocket, after some traffic is exchanged. See below for details.

My experiment

I wrote an npm module to demonstrate the difference between WebSocket and Socket.IO:

It is a simple example of server-side and client-side code - the client connects to the server using either WebSocket or Socket.IO and the server sends three messages in 1s intervals, which are added to the DOM by the client.

Server-side

Compare the server-side example of using WebSocket and Socket.IO to do the same in an Express.js app:

WebSocket Server

WebSocket server example using Express.js:

var path = require('path');
var app = require('express')();
var ws = require('express-ws')(app);
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  console.error('express connection');
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'ws.html'));
});
app.ws('/', (s, req) => {
  console.error('websocket connection');
  for (var t = 0; t < 3; t++)
    setTimeout(() => s.send('message from server', ()=>{}), 1000*t);
});
app.listen(3001, () => console.error('listening on http://localhost:3001/'));
console.error('websocket example');

Socket.IO Server

Socket.IO server example using Express.js:

var path = require('path');
var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  console.error('express connection');
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'si.html'));
});
io.on('connection', s => {
  console.error('socket.io connection');
  for (var t = 0; t < 3; t++)
    setTimeout(() => s.emit('message', 'message from server'), 1000*t);
});
http.listen(3002, () => console.error('listening on http://localhost:3002/'));
console.error('socket.io example');

Client-side

Compare the client-side example of using WebSocket and Socket.IO to do the same in the browser:

WebSocket Client

WebSocket client example using vanilla JavaScript:

var l = document.getElementById('l');
var log = function (m) {
    var i = document.createElement('li');
    i.innerText = new Date().toISOString()+' '+m;
    l.appendChild(i);
}
log('opening websocket connection');
var s = new WebSocket('ws://'+window.location.host+'/');
s.addEventListener('error', function (m) { log("error"); });
s.addEventListener('open', function (m) { log("websocket connection open"); });
s.addEventListener('message', function (m) { log(m.data); });

Source: https://github.com/rsp/node-websocket-vs-socket.io/blob/master/ws.html

Socket.IO Client

Socket.IO client example using vanilla JavaScript:

var l = document.getElementById('l');
var log = function (m) {
    var i = document.createElement('li');
    i.innerText = new Date().toISOString()+' '+m;
    l.appendChild(i);
}
log('opening socket.io connection');
var s = io();
s.on('connect_error', function (m) { log("error"); });
s.on('connect', function (m) { log("socket.io connection open"); });
s.on('message', function (m) { log(m); });

Source: https://github.com/rsp/node-websocket-vs-socket.io/blob/master/si.html

Network traffic

To see the difference in network traffic you can run my test. Here are the results that I got:

WebSocket Results

2 requests, 1.50 KB, 0.05 s

From those 2 requests:

  1. HTML page itself
  2. connection upgrade to WebSocket

(The connection upgrade request is visible on the developer tools with a 101 Switching Protocols response.)

Socket.IO Results

6 requests, 181.56 KB, 0.25 s

From those 6 requests:

  1. the HTML page itself
  2. Socket.IO's JavaScript (180 kilobytes)
  3. first long polling AJAX request
  4. second long polling AJAX request
  5. third long polling AJAX request
  6. connection upgrade to WebSocket

Screenshots

WebSocket results that I got on localhost:

WebSocket results - websocket-vs-socket.io module

Socket.IO results that I got on localhost:

Socket.IO results - websocket-vs-socket.io module

Test yourself

Quick start:

# Install:
npm i -g websocket-vs-socket.io
# Run the server:
websocket-vs-socket.io

Open http://localhost:3001/ in your browser, open developer tools with Shift+Ctrl+I, open the Network tab and reload the page with Ctrl+R to see the network traffic for the WebSocket version.

Open http://localhost:3002/ in your browser, open developer tools with Shift+Ctrl+I, open the Network tab and reload the page with Ctrl+R to see the network traffic for the Socket.IO version.

To uninstall:

# Uninstall:
npm rm -g websocket-vs-socket.io

Browser compatibility

As of June 2016 WebSocket works on everything except Opera Mini, including IE higher than 9.

This is the browser compatibility of WebSocket on Can I Use as of June 2016:

"commence before first target. Stop." error

This could also caused by mismatching brace/parenthesis.

$(TARGET}:
    do_something

Just use parenthesises and you'll be fine.

val() doesn't trigger change() in jQuery

You can very easily override the val function to trigger change by replacing it with a proxy to the original val function.

just add This code somewhere in your document (after loading jQuery)

(function($){
    var originalVal = $.fn.val;
    $.fn.val = function(){
        var result =originalVal.apply(this,arguments);
        if(arguments.length>0)
            $(this).change(); // OR with custom event $(this).trigger('value-changed');
        return result;
    };
})(jQuery);

A working example: here

(Note that this will always trigger change when val(new_val) is called even if the value didn't actually changed.)

If you want to trigger change ONLY when the value actually changed, use this one:

//This will trigger "change" event when "val(new_val)" called 
//with value different than the current one
(function($){
    var originalVal = $.fn.val;
    $.fn.val = function(){
        var prev;
        if(arguments.length>0){
            prev = originalVal.apply(this,[]);
        }
        var result =originalVal.apply(this,arguments);
        if(arguments.length>0 && prev!=originalVal.apply(this,[]))
            $(this).change();  // OR with custom event $(this).trigger('value-changed')
        return result;
    };
})(jQuery);

Live example for that: http://jsfiddle.net/5fSmx/1/

log4net hierarchy and logging levels

For most applications you would like to set a minimum level but not a maximum level.

For example, when debugging your code set the minimum level to DEBUG, and in production set it to WARN.

Dynamically converting java object of Object class to a given class when class name is known

I think its pretty straight forward with reflection

MyClass mobj = MyClass.class.cast(obj);

and if class name is different

Object newObj = Class.forName(classname).cast(obj);

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

If you want an else you don't want to filter the list comprehension, you want it to iterate over every value. You can use true-value if cond else false-value as the statement instead, and remove the filter from the end:

table = ''.join(chr(index) if index in ords_to_keep else replace_with for index in xrange(15))

Use Ant for running program with command line arguments

The only effective mechanism for passing parameters into a build is to use Java properties:

ant -Done=1 -Dtwo=2

The following example demonstrates how you can check and ensure the expected parameters have been passed into the script

<project name="check" default="build">

    <condition property="params.set">
        <and>
            <isset property="one"/>
            <isset property="two"/>
        </and>
    </condition>

    <target name="check">
        <fail unless="params.set">
        Must specify the parameters: one, two
        </fail>
    </target>

    <target name="build" depends="check">
        <echo>
        one = ${one}
        two = ${two}
        </echo>
    </target>

</project>

What jar should I include to use javax.persistence package in a hibernate based application?

You can use the ejb3-persistence.jar that's bundled with hibernate. This jar only includes the javax.persistence package.

nuget 'packages' element is not declared warning

Actually the correct answer to this is to just add the schema to your document, like so

<packages xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">

...and you're done :)

If the XSD is not already cached and unavailable, you can add it as follows from the NuGet console

Install-Package NuGet.Manifest.Schema -Version 2.0.0

Once this is done, as noted in a comment below, you may want to move it from your current folder to the official schema folder that is found in

%VisualStudioPath%\Xml\Schemas

Prevent flicker on webkit-transition of webkit-transform

Both of the above two answers work for me with a similar problem.

However, the body {-webkit-transform} approach causes all elements on the page to effectively be rendered in 3D. This isn't the worst thing, but it slightly changes the rendering of text and other CSS-styled elements.

It may be an effect you want. It may be useful if you're doing a lot of transform on your page. Otherwise, -webkit-backface-visibility:hidden on the element your transforming is the least invasive option.

Calculate rolling / moving average in C++

Basically I want to track the moving average of an ongoing stream of a stream of floating point numbers using the most recent 1000 numbers as a data sample.

Note that the below updates the total_ as elements as added/replaced, avoiding costly O(N) traversal to calculate the sum - needed for the average - on demand.

template <typename T, typename Total, size_t N>
class Moving_Average
{
  public:
    void operator()(T sample)
    {
        if (num_samples_ < N)
        {
            samples_[num_samples_++] = sample;
            total_ += sample;
        }
        else
        {
            T& oldest = samples_[num_samples_++ % N];
            total_ += sample - oldest;
            oldest = sample;
        }
    }

    operator double() const { return total_ / std::min(num_samples_, N); }

  private:
    T samples_[N];
    size_t num_samples_{0};
    Total total_{0};
};

Total is made a different parameter from T to support e.g. using a long long when totalling 1000 longs, an int for chars, or a double to total floats.

Issues

This is a bit flawed in that num_samples_ could conceptually wrap back to 0, but it's hard to imagine anyone having 2^64 samples: if concerned, use an extra bool data member to record when the container is first filled while cycling num_samples_ around the array (best then renamed something innocuous like "pos").

Another issue is inherent with floating point precision, and can be illustrated with a simple scenario for T=double, N=2: we start with total_ = 0, then inject samples...

  • 1E17, we execute total_ += 1E17, so total_ == 1E17, then inject

  • 1, we execute total += 1, but total_ == 1E17 still, as the "1" is too insignificant to change the 64-bit double representation of a number as large as 1E17, then we inject

  • 2, we execute total += 2 - 1E17, in which 2 - 1E17 is evaluated first and yields -1E17 as the 2 is lost to imprecision/insignificance, so to our total of 1E17 we add -1E17 and total_ becomes 0, despite current samples of 1 and 2 for which we'd want total_ to be 3. Our moving average will calculate 0 instead of 1.5. As we add another sample, we'll subtract the "oldest" 1 from total_ despite it never having been properly incorporated therein; our total_ and moving averages are likely to remain wrong.

You could add code that stores the highest recent total_ and if the current total_ is too small a fraction of that (a template parameter could provide a multiplicative threshold), you recalculate the total_ from all the samples in the samples_ array (and set highest_recent_total_ to the new total_), but I'll leave that to the reader who cares sufficiently.

ITextSharp insert text to an existing pdf

In addition to the excellent answers above, the following shows how to add text to each page of a multi-page document:

 using (var reader = new PdfReader(@"C:\Input.pdf"))
 {
    using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\Output.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
    {
       var document = new Document(reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
       var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fileStream);

       document.Open();

       for (var i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
       {
          document.NewPage();

          var baseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA_BOLD, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
          var importedPage = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, i);

          var contentByte = writer.DirectContent;
          contentByte.BeginText();
          contentByte.SetFontAndSize(baseFont, 12);

          var multiLineString = "Hello,\r\nWorld!".Split('\n');

          foreach (var line in multiLineString)
          {
             contentByte.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, line, 200, 200, 0);
          }

          contentByte.EndText();
          contentByte.AddTemplate(importedPage, 0, 0);
       }

       document.Close();
       writer.Close();
    }
 }

Using JavaScript to display a Blob

Getting Google+ profile picture url with user_id

UPDATE: Google stopped support for this method, that now returns a 404 (not found) error.


All this urls fetch the profile picture of a user:

https://www.google.com/s2/photos/profile/{user_id}
https://plus.google.com/s2/photos/profile/{user_id}
https://profiles.google.com/s2/photos/profile/{user_id}

They redirect to the same image url you get from Google API, an ugly link as
lh6.googleusercontent.com/-x1W2-XNKA-A/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ooSNulbLz8U/photo.jpg

The simplest is to directly use like image source:

<img src="https://www.google.com/s2/photos/profile/{user_id}">

Otherwise to obtain exactly the same url of a Google API call you can read image headers,
for example in PHP:

$headers = get_headers("https://www.google.com/s2/photos/profile/{user_id}", 1);
echo "<img src=$headers[Location]>";

as described in article Fetch Google Plus Profile Picture using PHP.

How to change SmartGit's licensing option after 30 days of commercial use on ubuntu?

For 19.1 above on Linux,

Close the App or any window of Smartgit

Go to:

/home/[USERNAME]/.config/smartgit/[CURRENT OR LAST VERSION]

open the file:

preferences.yml

Search for:

"listx: {" in this file

You will find something like this:

listx: {ePP: 1607503071922, eUT: -9223377036854775808, nRT: -9223377036854775808, eV: '20.1', uid: emobf7q63s83}

So now all you need is delete the string inside the {} So it will be like this:

listx: {}

Now save the file and start Smartgit. You will have all repositories and other preferences and you will be asked for set the type of license.

Specifying a custom DateTime format when serializing with Json.Net

With below converter

public class CustomDateTimeConverter : IsoDateTimeConverter
    {
        public CustomDateTimeConverter()
        {
            DateTimeFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";
        }

        public CustomDateTimeConverter(string format)
        {
            DateTimeFormat = format;
        }
    }

Can use it with a default custom format

class ReturnObjectA 
{
    [JsonConverter(typeof(DateFormatConverter))]
    public DateTime ReturnDate { get;set;}
}

Or any specified format for a property

class ReturnObjectB 
{
    [JsonConverter(typeof(DateFormatConverter), "dd MMM yy")]
    public DateTime ReturnDate { get;set;}
}

TensorFlow not found using pip

I've found out the problem.

I'm using a Windows computer which has Python 2 installed previously. After Python 3 is installed (without setting the path, I successfully check the version of pip3 - but the python executable file still points to the Python2)

Then I set the path to the python3 executable file (remove all python2 paths) then start a new command prompt, try to reinstall Tensorflow. It works!

I think this problem could happend on MAC OS too since there is a default python which is on the MAC system.

Using the && operator in an if statement

So to make your expression work, changing && for -a will do the trick.

It is correct like this:

 if [ -f $VAR1 ] && [ -f $VAR2 ] && [ -f $VAR3 ]
 then  ....

or like

 if [[ -f $VAR1 && -f $VAR2 && -f $VAR3 ]]
 then  ....

or even

 if [ -f $VAR1 -a -f $VAR2 -a -f $VAR3 ]
 then  ....

You can find further details in this question bash : Multiple Unary operators in if statement and some references given there like What is the difference between test, [ and [[ ?.

Modify SVG fill color when being served as Background-Image

Yet another approach is to use mask. You then change the background color of the masked element. This has the same effect as changing the fill attribute of the svg.

HTML:

<glyph class="star"/>
<glyph class="heart" />
<glyph class="heart" style="background-color: green"/>
<glyph class="heart" style="background-color: blue"/>

CSS:

glyph {
    display: inline-block;
    width:  24px;
    height: 24px;
}

glyph.star {
  -webkit-mask: url(star.svg) no-repeat 100% 100%;
  mask: url(star.svg) no-repeat 100% 100%;
  -webkit-mask-size: cover;
  mask-size: cover;
  background-color: yellow;
}

glyph.heart {
  -webkit-mask: url(heart.svg) no-repeat 100% 100%;
  mask: url(heart.svg) no-repeat 100% 100%;
  -webkit-mask-size: cover;
  mask-size: cover;
  background-color: red;
}

You will find a full tutorial here: http://codepen.io/noahblon/blog/coloring-svgs-in-css-background-images (not my own). It proposes a variety of approaches (not limited to mask).

How to get an ASP.NET MVC Ajax response to redirect to new page instead of inserting view into UpdateTargetId?

The behavior you're trying to produce is not really best done using AJAX. AJAX would be best used if you wanted to only update a portion of the page, not completely redirect to some other page. That defeats the whole purpose of AJAX really.

I would suggest to just not use AJAX with the behavior you're describing.

Alternatively, you could try using jquery Ajax, which would submit the request and then you specify a callback when the request completes. In the callback you could determine if it failed or succeeded, and redirect to another page on success. I've found jquery Ajax to be much easier to use, especially since I'm already using the library for other things anyway.

You can find documentation about jquery ajax here, but the syntax is as follows:

jQuery.ajax( options )  

jQuery.get( url, data, callback, type)

jQuery.getJSON( url, data, callback )

jQuery.getScript( url, callback )

jQuery.post( url, data, callback, type)

What is the best way to clone/deep copy a .NET generic Dictionary<string, T>?

(Note: although the cloning version is potentially useful, for a simple shallow copy the constructor I mention in the other post is a better option.)

How deep do you want the copy to be, and what version of .NET are you using? I suspect that a LINQ call to ToDictionary, specifying both the key and element selector, will be the easiest way to go if you're using .NET 3.5.

For instance, if you don't mind the value being a shallow clone:

var newDictionary = oldDictionary.ToDictionary(entry => entry.Key,
                                               entry => entry.Value);

If you've already constrained T to implement ICloneable:

var newDictionary = oldDictionary.ToDictionary(entry => entry.Key, 
                                               entry => (T) entry.Value.Clone());

(Those are untested, but should work.)

Error: [$resource:badcfg] Error in resource configuration. Expected response to contain an array but got an object?

First of all you should configure $resource in different manner: without query params in the URL. Default query parameters may be passed as properties of the second parameter in resource(url, paramDefaults, actions). It is also to be mentioned that you configure get method of resource and using query instead.

Use of contains in Java ArrayList<String>

Right...with strings...the moment you deviate from primitives or strings things change and you need to implement hashcode/equals to get the desired effect.

EDIT: Initialize your ArrayList<String> then attempt to add an item.

HttpClient won't import in Android Studio

1- download Apache jar files (as of this answer) 4.5.zip file from:
https://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi?Preferred=http%3A%2F%2Fapache.arvixe.com%2F

2- open the zip copy the jar files into your libs folder. You can find it if you go to the top of your project where it says "Android" you'll find a list when u click it. So,

Android -> Project -> app -> libs

,Then put jars there.

3- In build.gradle (Module: app) add

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

in

 dependency { 
   }

4- In the java class add these imports:

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;

import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;

import org.apache.http.params.CoreProtocolPNames;

Create a PHP script with <?php phpinfo() ?> in it, run that from your browser, and look for the value Loaded Configuration File. This tells you which php.ini file PHP is using in the context of the web server.

Update cordova plugins in one command

This is my Windows Batch version for update all plugins in one command

How to use:

From command line, in the same folder of project, run

c:\> batchNameFile

or

c:\> batchNameFile autoupdate

Where "batchNameFile" is the name of .BAT file, with the script below.

For only test ( first exmple ) or to force every update avaiable ( 2nd example )

@echo off

cls

set pluginListFile=update.plugin.list

if exist %pluginListFile% del %pluginListFile%

Echo "Reading installed Plugins"
Call cordova plugins > %pluginListFile%
echo.

for /F "tokens=1,2 delims= " %%a in ( %pluginListFile% ) do (
   Echo "Checking online version for %%a"

   for /F "delims=" %%I in ( 'npm info %%a version' ) do (
     Echo "Local : %%b"
     Echo "Online: %%I"
     if %%b LSS %%I Call :toUpdate %%a %~1
     :cont
     echo.
   )
)

if exist %pluginListFile% del %pluginListFile%

Exit /B

:toUpdate
Echo "Need Update !"
if '%~2' == 'autoupdate' Call :DoUpdate %~1
goto cont

:DoUpdate
Echo "Removing Plugin"
Call cordova plugin rm %~1
Echo "Adding Plugin"
Call cordova plugin add %~1
goto cont

This batch was only tested in Windows 10

Change background color on mouseover and remove it after mouseout

Set the original background-color in you CSS file:

.forum{
    background-color:#f0f;
}?

You don't have to capture the original color in jQuery. Remember that jQuery will alter the style INLINE, so by setting the background-color to null you will get the same result.

$(function() {
    $(".forum").hover(
    function() {
        $(this).css('background-color', '#ff0')
    }, function() {
        $(this).css('background-color', '')
    });
});?

Put spacing between divs in a horizontal row?

Quite a few ways to apprach this problem.

Use the box-sizing css3 property and simulate the margins with borders.

http://jsfiddle.net/Z7mFr/1/

div.inside {
 width: 25%;
 float:left;
 border-right: 5px solid grey;
 background-color: blue;
 box-sizing:border-box;
 -moz-box-sizing:border-box; /* Firefox */
 -webkit-box-sizing:border-box; /* Safari */
}

<div style="width:100%; height: 200px; background-color: grey;">
 <div class="inside">A</div>
 <div class="inside">B</div>
 <div class="inside">C</div>
 <div class="inside">D</div>
</div>

Reduce the percentage of your elements widths and add some margin-right.

http://jsfiddle.net/mJfz3/

.outer {
 width:100%;
 background:#999;
 overflow:auto;
}

.inside {
 float:left;
 width:24%;
 margin-right:1%;
 background:#333;

onchange event for html.dropdownlist

If you have a list view you can do this:

  1. Define a select list:

    @{
       var Acciones = new SelectList(new[]
       {
      new SelectListItem { Text = "Modificar", Value = 
       Url.Action("Edit", "Countries")},
      new SelectListItem { Text = "Detallar", Value = 
      Url.Action("Details", "Countries") },
      new SelectListItem { Text = "Eliminar", Value = 
      Url.Action("Delete", "Countries") },
     }, "Value", "Text");
    }
    
  2. Use the defined SelectList, creating a diferent id for each record (remember that id of each element must be unique in a view), and finally call a javascript function for onchange event (include parameters in example url and record key):

    @Html.DropDownList("ddAcciones", Acciones, "Acciones", new { id = 
    item.CountryID, @onchange = "RealizarAccion(this.value ,id)" })
    
  3. onchange function can be something as:

    @section Scripts {
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    
    function RealizarAccion(accion, country)
    {
    
        var url = accion + '/' + country;
        if (url != null && url != '') {
            window.location.href = url ;
        }
    }
    </script>
    
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")

        lList.add(7);
        lList.add(2);
        lList.add(9);
        lList.add(1);
        lList.add(5);

        Collections.sort(lList);

        for(int i=0; i<lList.size();i++ )
        {
            System.out.println(lList.get(i));
        }

Datagrid binding in WPF

PLEASE do not use object as a class name:

public class MyObject //better to choose an appropriate name
{
    string id;
    DateTime date;
    public string ID
    {
       get { return id; }
       set { id = value; }
    }
    public DateTime Date
    {
       get { return date; }
       set { date = value; }
    }
}

You should implement INotifyPropertyChanged for this class and of course call it on the Property setter. Otherwise changes are not reflected in your ui.

Your Viewmodel class/ dialogbox class should have a Property of your MyObject list. ObservableCollection<MyObject> is the way to go:

public ObservableCollection<MyObject> MyList
{
     get...
     set...
}

In your xaml you should set the Itemssource to your collection of MyObject. (the Datacontext have to be your dialogbox class!)

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Source=MyList}"  AutoGenerateColumns="False">
   <DataGrid.Columns>                
     <DataGridTextColumn Header="ID" Binding="{Binding ID}"/>
     <DataGridTextColumn Header="Date" Binding="{Binding Date}"/>
   </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

I am getting Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT with Google chrome

My advice is to avoid any image names; class names or ID's with the words:

  • Advert
  • Advertise

in their name!

I ran some tests and Ad blockers regularly block any direct content with these names either within the CSS file, Div or Span Layers.

So an image name loaded via CSS such as advertise-with-us.png gets blocked on any machine running such software for example.

EDIT: I've Traced a list of web page elements in Chrome which AdBlock Plus sets the CSS value to "display:none". They probably apply to other browsers too:

What are Aggregates and PODs and how/why are they special?

Changes in C++17

Download the C++17 International Standard final draft here.

Aggregates

C++17 expands and enhances aggregates and aggregate initialization. The standard library also now includes an std::is_aggregate type trait class. Here is the formal definition from section 11.6.1.1 and 11.6.1.2 (internal references elided):

An aggregate is an array or a class with
— no user-provided, explicit, or inherited constructors,
— no private or protected non-static data members,
— no virtual functions, and
— no virtual, private, or protected base classes.
[ Note: Aggregate initialization does not allow accessing protected and private base class’ members or constructors. —end note ]
The elements of an aggregate are:
— for an array, the array elements in increasing subscript order, or
— for a class, the direct base classes in declaration order, followed by the direct non-static data members that are not members of an anonymous union, in declaration order.

What changed?

  1. Aggregates can now have public, non-virtual base classes. Furthermore, it is not a requirement that base classes be aggregates. If they are not aggregates, they are list-initialized.
struct B1 // not a aggregate
{
    int i1;
    B1(int a) : i1(a) { }
};
struct B2
{
    int i2;
    B2() = default;
};
struct M // not an aggregate
{
    int m;
    M(int a) : m(a) { }
};
struct C : B1, B2
{
    int j;
    M m;
    C() = default;
};
C c { { 1 }, { 2 }, 3, { 4 } };
cout
    << "is C aggregate?: " << (std::is_aggregate<C>::value ? 'Y' : 'N')
    << " i1: " << c.i1 << " i2: " << c.i2
    << " j: " << c.j << " m.m: " << c.m.m << endl;

//stdout: is C aggregate?: Y, i1=1 i2=2 j=3 m.m=4
  1. Explicit defaulted constructors are disallowed
struct D // not an aggregate
{
    int i = 0;
    D() = default;
    explicit D(D const&) = default;
};
  1. Inheriting constructors are disallowed
struct B1
{
    int i1;
    B1() : i1(0) { }
};
struct C : B1 // not an aggregate
{
    using B1::B1;
};


Trivial Classes

The definition of trivial class was reworked in C++17 to address several defects that were not addressed in C++14. The changes were technical in nature. Here is the new definition at 12.0.6 (internal references elided):

A trivially copyable class is a class:
— where each copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, and move assignment operator is either deleted or trivial,
— that has at least one non-deleted copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, or move assignment operator, and
— that has a trivial, non-deleted destructor.
A trivial class is a class that is trivially copyable and has one or more default constructors, all of which are either trivial or deleted and at least one of which is not deleted. [ Note: In particular, a trivially copyable or trivial class does not have virtual functions or virtual base classes.—end note ]

Changes:

  1. Under C++14, for a class to be trivial, the class could not have any copy/move constructor/assignment operators that were non-trivial. However, then an implicitly declared as defaulted constructor/operator could be non-trivial and yet defined as deleted because, for example, the class contained a subobject of class type that could not be copied/moved. The presence of such non-trivial, defined-as-deleted constructor/operator would cause the whole class to be non-trivial. A similar problem existed with destructors. C++17 clarifies that the presence of such constructor/operators does not cause the class to be non-trivially copyable, hence non-trivial, and that a trivially copyable class must have a trivial, non-deleted destructor. DR1734, DR1928
  2. C++14 allowed a trivially copyable class, hence a trivial class, to have every copy/move constructor/assignment operator declared as deleted. If such as class was also standard layout, it could, however, be legally copied/moved with std::memcpy. This was a semantic contradiction, because, by defining as deleted all constructor/assignment operators, the creator of the class clearly intended that the class could not be copied/moved, yet the class still met the definition of a trivially copyable class. Hence in C++17 we have a new clause stating that trivially copyable class must have at least one trivial, non-deleted (though not necessarily publicly accessible) copy/move constructor/assignment operator. See N4148, DR1734
  3. The third technical change concerns a similar problem with default constructors. Under C++14, a class could have trivial default constructors that were implicitly defined as deleted, yet still be a trivial class. The new definition clarifies that a trivial class must have a least one trivial, non-deleted default constructor. See DR1496

Standard-layout Classes

The definition of standard-layout was also reworked to address defect reports. Again the changes were technical in nature. Here is the text from the standard (12.0.7). As before, internal references are elided:

A class S is a standard-layout class if it:
— has no non-static data members of type non-standard-layout class (or array of such types) or reference,
— has no virtual functions and no virtual base classes,
— has the same access control for all non-static data members,
— has no non-standard-layout base classes,
— has at most one base class subobject of any given type,
— has all non-static data members and bit-fields in the class and its base classes first declared in the same class, and
— has no element of the set M(S) of types (defined below) as a base class.108
M(X) is defined as follows:
— If X is a non-union class type with no (possibly inherited) non-static data members, the set M(X) is empty.
— If X is a non-union class type whose first non-static data member has type X0 (where said member may be an anonymous union), the set M(X) consists of X0 and the elements of M(X0).
— If X is a union type, the set M(X) is the union of all M(Ui) and the set containing all Ui, where each Ui is the type of the ith non-static data member of X.
— If X is an array type with element type Xe, the set M(X) consists of Xe and the elements of M(Xe).
— If X is a non-class, non-array type, the set M(X) is empty.
[ Note: M(X) is the set of the types of all non-base-class subobjects that are guaranteed in a standard-layout class to be at a zero offset in X. —end note ]
[ Example:

struct B { int i; }; // standard-layout class
struct C : B { }; // standard-layout class
struct D : C { }; // standard-layout class
struct E : D { char : 4; }; // not a standard-layout class
struct Q {};
struct S : Q { };
struct T : Q { };
struct U : S, T { }; // not a standard-layout class
—end example ]
108) This ensures that two subobjects that have the same class type and that belong to the same most derived object are not allocated at the same address.

Changes:

  1. Clarified that the requirement that only one class in the derivation tree "has" non-static data members refers to a class where such data members are first declared, not classes where they may be inherited, and extended this requirement to non-static bit fields. Also clarified that a standard-layout class "has at most one base class subobject of any given type." See DR1813, DR1881
  2. The definition of standard-layout has never allowed the type of any base class to be the same type as the first non-static data member. It is to avoid a situation where a data member at offset zero has the same type as any base class. The C++17 standard provides a more rigorous, recursive definition of "the set of the types of all non-base-class subobjects that are guaranteed in a standard-layout class to be at a zero offset" so as to prohibit such types from being the type of any base class. See DR1672, DR2120.

Note: The C++ standards committee intended the above changes based on defect reports to apply to C++14, though the new language is not in the published C++14 standard. It is in the C++17 standard.

SQL Developer is returning only the date, not the time. How do I fix this?

To expand on some of the previous answers, I found that Oracle DATE objects behave different from Oracle TIMESTAMP objects. In particular, if you set your NLS_DATE_FORMAT to include fractional seconds, the entire time portion is omitted.

  • Format "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS" works as expected, for DATE and TIMESTAMP
  • Format "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SSXFF" displays just the date portion for DATE, works as expected for TIMESTAMP

My personal preference is to set DATE to "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS", and to set TIMESTAMP to "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SSXFF".

How to use npm with ASP.NET Core

enter image description here

  • Using npm for managing client-side libraries is a good choice (as opposed to Bower or NuGet), you're thinking in the right direction :)
  • Split server-side (ASP.NET Core) and client-side (e.g. Angular 2, Ember, React) projects into separate folders (otherwise your ASP.NET project may have lots of noise - unit tests for the client-side code, node_modules folder, build artifacts, etc.). Front-end developers working in the same team with you will thank you for that :)
  • Restore npm modules at the solution level (similarly how you restore packages via NuGet - not into the project's folder), this way you can have unit and integration tests in a separate folder as well (as opposed to having client-side JavaScript tests inside your ASP.NET Core project).
  • Use might not need FileServer, having StaticFiles should suffice for serving static files (.js, images, etc.)
  • Use Webpack to bundle your client-side code into one or more chunks (bundles)
  • You might not need Gulp/Grunt if you're using a module bundler such as Webpack
  • Write build automation scripts in ES2015+ JavaScript (as opposed to Bash or PowerShell), they will work cross-platform and be more accessible to a variety of web developers (everyone speaks JavaScript nowadays)
  • Rename wwwroot to public, otherwise the folder structure in Azure Web Apps will be confusing (D:\Home\site\wwwroot\wwwroot vs D:\Home\site\wwwroot\public)
  • Publish only the compiled output to Azure Web Apps (you should never push node_modules to a web hosting server). See tools/deploy.js as an example.

add new row in gridview after binding C#, ASP.net

try using the cloning technique.

{
    DataGridViewRow row = (DataGridViewRow)yourdatagrid.Rows[0].Clone();
    // then for each of the values use a loop like below.
    int cc = yourdatagrid.Columns.Count;
    for (int i2 = 0; i < cc; i2++)
    {
        row.Cells[i].Value = yourdatagrid.Rows[0].Cells[i].Value;
    }
    yourdatagrid.Rows.Add(row);
    i++;

This should work. I'm not sure about how the binding works though. Hopefully it won't prevent this from working.

Usage is as follows:

myClassObj.setDataLoadFinishedListener(new MyClass.DataLoadFinishedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataLoadFinishedListener(int data_type) {
                }
            });

Getting "Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction" even though I'm not using a transaction

mysql> set innodb_lock_wait_timeout=100

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> show variables like 'innodb_lock_wait_timeout';
+--------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name            | Value |
+--------------------------+-------+
| innodb_lock_wait_timeout | 100   |
+--------------------------+-------+

Now trigger the lock again. You have 100 seconds time to issue a SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G to the database and see which other transaction is locking yours.

Transparent CSS background color

In this case background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.5); is the best way. For example: background-color:rgba(0,0,0,opacity option);

R not finding package even after package installation

When you run

install.packages("whatever")

you got message that your binaries are downloaded into temporary location (e.g. The downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpC6Y8Yv\downloaded_packages ). Go there. Take binaries (zip file). Copy paste into location which you get from running the code:

.libPaths()

If libPaths shows 2 locations, then paste into second one. Load library:

library(whatever)

Fixed.

What uses are there for "placement new"?

The one place I've run across it is in containers which allocate a contiguous buffer and then fill it with objects as required. As mentioned, std::vector might do this, and I know some versions of MFC CArray and/or CList did this (because that's where I first ran across it). The buffer over-allocation method is a very useful optimization, and placement new is pretty much the only way to construct objects in that scenario. It is also used sometimes to construct objects in memory blocks allocated outside of your direct code.

I have used it in a similar capacity, although it doesn't come up often. It's a useful tool for the C++ toolbox, though.

declaring a priority_queue in c++ with a custom comparator

One can also use a lambda function.

auto Compare = [](Node &a, Node &b) { //compare };
std::priority_queue<Node, std::vector<Node>, decltype(Compare)> openset(Compare);

Referencing a string in a string array resource with xml

In short: I don't think you can, but there seems to be a workaround:.

If you take a look into the Android Resource here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html

You see than under the array section (string array, at least), the "RESOURCE REFERENCE" (as you get from an XML) does not specify a way to address the individual items. You can even try in your XML to use "@array/yourarrayhere". I know that in design time you will get the first item. But that is of no practical use if you want to use, let's say... the second, of course.

HOWEVER, there is a trick you can do. See here:

Referencing an XML string in an XML Array (Android)

You can "cheat" (not really) the array definition by addressing independent strings INSIDE the definition of the array. For example, in your strings.xml:

<string name="earth">Earth</string>
<string name="moon">Moon</string>

<string-array name="system">
    <item>@string/earth</item>
    <item>@string/moon</item>
</string-array>

By using this, you can use "@string/earth" and "@string/moon" normally in your "android:text" and "android:title" XML fields, and yet you won't lose the ability to use the array definition for whatever purposes you intended in the first place.

Seems to work here on my Eclipse. Why don't you try and tell us if it works? :-)

Eclipse won't compile/run java file

right click somewhere on the file or in project explorer and choose 'run as'->'java application'

JQuery: detect change in input field

Use $.on() to bind your chosen event to the input, don't use the shortcuts like $.keydown() etc because as of jQuery 1.7 $.on() is the preferred method to attach event handlers (see here: http://api.jquery.com/on/ and http://api.jquery.com/bind/).

$.keydown() is just a shortcut to $.bind('keydown'), and $.bind() is what $.on() replaces (among others).

To answer your question, as far as I'm aware, unless you need to fire an event on keydown specifically, the change event should do the trick for you.

$('element').on('change', function(){
    console.log('change');
});

To respond to the below comment, the javascript change event is documented here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change

And here is a working example of the change event working on an input element, using jQuery: http://jsfiddle.net/p1m4xh08/

Plotting a list of (x, y) coordinates in python matplotlib

As per this example:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

N = 50
x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)

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

will produce:

enter image description here

To unpack your data from pairs into lists use zip:

x, y = zip(*li)

So, the one-liner:

plt.scatter(*zip(*li))

How can I list the scheduled jobs running in my database?

Because the SCHEDULER_ADMIN role is a powerful role allowing a grantee to execute code as any user, you should consider granting individual Scheduler system privileges instead. Object and system privileges are granted using regular SQL grant syntax. An example is if the database administrator issues the following statement:

GRANT CREATE JOB TO scott;

After this statement is executed, scott can create jobs, schedules, or programs in his schema.

Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"?
