What is the backslash character (\\)?

If double backslash looks weird to you, C# also allows verbatim string literals where the escaping is not required.

Console.WriteLine(@"Mango \ Nightangle");

Don't you just wish Java had something like this ;-)

C++ float array initialization

You only initialize the first N positions to the values in braces and all others are initialized to 0. In this case, N is the number of arguments you passed to the initialization list, i.e.,

float arr1[10] = { };       // all elements are 0
float arr2[10] = { 0 };     // all elements are 0
float arr3[10] = { 1 };     // first element is 1, all others are 0
float arr4[10] = { 1, 2 };  // first element is 1, second is 2, all others are 0

How to get database structure in MySQL via query

That's the SHOW CREATE TABLE query. You can query the SCHEMA TABLES, too.

Android: how to make an activity return results to the activity which calls it?

In order to start an activity which should return result to the calling activity, you should do something like below. You should pass the requestcode as shown below in order to identify that you got the result from the activity you started.

startActivityForResult(new Intent(“YourFullyQualifiedClassName”),requestCode);

In the activity you can make use of setData() to return result.

Intent data = new Intent();
String text = "Result to be returned...."
//---set the data to pass back---
data.setData(Uri.parse(text));
setResult(RESULT_OK, data);
//---close the activity---
finish();

So then again in the first activity you write the below code in onActivityResult()

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == request_Code) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String returnedResult = data.getData().toString();
            // OR
            // String returnedResult = data.getDataString();
        }
    }
}

EDIT based on your comment: If you want to return three strings, then follow this by making use of key/value pairs with intent instead of using Uri.

Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("streetkey","streetname");
data.putExtra("citykey","cityname");
data.putExtra("homekey","homename");
setResult(RESULT_OK,data);
finish();

Get them in onActivityResult like below:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == request_Code) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String street = data.getStringExtra("streetkey");
            String city = data.getStringExtra("citykey");
            String home = data.getStringExtra("homekey");
        }
    }
}

Ajax passing data to php script

You can also use bellow code for pass data using ajax.

var dataString = "album" + title;
$.ajax({  
    type: 'POST',  
    url: 'test.php', 
    data: dataString,
    success: function(response) {
        content.html(response);
    }
});

Remove scrollbar from iframe

iframe {
  display: block;
  border: none;         /* Reset default border */
  height: 100vh;        /* Viewport-relative units */
  width: calc(100% + 17px);
}
div {
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

Like this you make the width of the Iframe larger than it should be. Then you hide the horizontal scrollbar with overflow-x: hidden.

Bootstrap - Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'fn' of undefined

Bootstrap 4 card-deck with number of columns based on viewport

I don't remember the specific source, but I am using:

    /* Number of Cards by Row based on Viewport */
    @media (min-width: 576px) {
        .card-deck .card {
            min-width: 50.1%; /* 1 Column */
            margin-bottom: 12px;
        }
    }
    @media (min-width: 768px) {
        .card-deck .card {
            min-width: 33.4%;  /* 2 Columns */
        }
    }
    @media (min-width: 1200px) {
        .card-deck .card {
            min-width: 25.1%;  /* 3 Columns */
        }
    }

You may want to tinker with the specific values to fit your needs.

How can I find out if I have Xcode commandline tools installed?

If for some reason xcode is not installed under

/usr/bin/xcodebuild

execute the following command

which xcodebuild

and if it is installed, you'll be prompted with it's location.

Detecting arrow key presses in JavaScript

Modern answer since keyCode is now deprecated in favor of key:

document.onkeydown = function (e) {
    switch (e.key) {
        case 'ArrowUp':
            // up arrow
            break;
        case 'ArrowDown':
            // down arrow
            break;
        case 'ArrowLeft':
            // left arrow
            break;
        case 'ArrowRight':
            // right arrow
    }
};

How to Detect cause of 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error and handle it?

There is of course some apache log files. Search in your apache configuration files for 'Log' keyword, you'll certainly find plenty of them. Depending on your OS and installation places may vary (in a Typical Linux server it would be /var/log/apache2/[access|error].log).

Having a 503 error in Apache usually means the proxied page/service is not available. I assume you're using tomcat and that means tomcat is either not responding to apache (timeout?) or not even available (down? crashed?). So chances are that it's a configuration error in the way to connect apache and tomcat or an application inside tomcat that is not even sending a response for apache.

Sometimes, in production servers, it can as well be that you get too much traffic for the tomcat server, apache handle more request than the proxyied service (tomcat) can accept so the backend became unavailable.

Spring's overriding bean

Any given Spring context can only have one bean for any given id or name. In the case of the XML id attribute, this is enforced by the schema validation. In the case of the name attribute, this is enforced by Spring's logic.

However, if a context is constructed from two different XML descriptor files, and an id is used by both files, then one will "override" the other. The exact behaviour depends on the ordering of the files when they get loaded by the context.

So while it's possible, it's not recommended. It's error-prone and fragile, and you'll get no help from Spring if you change the ID of one but not the other.

MySql Error: Can't update table in stored function/trigger because it is already used by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger

@gerrit_hoekstra wrote: "However, the value of an auto-increment field is only available to an "AFTER-INSERT" trigger - it defaults to 0 in the BEFORE-case."

That is correct but you can select the auto-increment field value that will be inserted by the subsequent INSERT quite easily. This is an example that works:

CREATE DEFINER = CURRENT_USER TRIGGER `lgffin`.`variable_BEFORE_INSERT` BEFORE INSERT 
ON `variable` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    SET NEW.prefixed_id = CONCAT(NEW.fixed_variable, (SELECT `AUTO_INCREMENT`
                                                FROM  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
                                                WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'lgffin'
                                                AND   TABLE_NAME   = 'variable'));      
END

How does += (plus equal) work?

As everyone said above

_x000D_
_x000D_
var str = "foo"
str += " bar"
console.log(str) //will now give you "foo bar"
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Factorial using Recursion in Java

The correct one is :

int factorial(int n)
{
    if(n==0||n==1)
        return 1;
    else 
        return n*factorial(n-1);
}

This would return 1 for factorial 0. Do it believe me . I have learned this the hard way. Just for not keeping the condition for 0 could not clear an interview.

<img>: Unsafe value used in a resource URL context

I usually add separate safe pipe reusable component as following

# Add Safe Pipe

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Pipe({name: 'mySafe'})
export class SafePipe implements PipeTransform {
    constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {
    }

    public transform(url) {
        return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(url);
    }
}
# then create shared pipe module as following 

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; 
import { SafePipe } from './safe.pipe';
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        SafePipe
    ],
    exports: [
        SafePipe
    ]
})
export class SharedPipesModule {
}
# import shared pipe module in your native module

@NgModule({
    declarations: [],
    imports: [
        SharedPipesModule,
    ],
})
export class SupportModule {
}
<!-------------------
call your url (`trustedUrl` for me) and add `mySafe` as defined in Safe Pipe
---------------->
<div class="container-fluid" *ngIf="trustedUrl">
    <iframe [src]="trustedUrl | mySafe" align="middle" width="100%" height="800" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Getting multiple keys of specified value of a generic Dictionary?

As everyone else has said, there's no mapping within a dictionary from value to key.

I've just noticed you wanted to map to from value to multiple keys - I'm leaving this solution here for the single value version, but I'll then add another answer for a multi-entry bidirectional map.

The normal approach to take here is to have two dictionaries - one mapping one way and one the other. Encapsulate them in a separate class, and work out what you want to do when you have duplicate key or value (e.g. throw an exception, overwrite the existing entry, or ignore the new entry). Personally I'd probably go for throwing an exception - it makes the success behaviour easier to define. Something like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class BiDictionary<TFirst, TSecond>
{
    IDictionary<TFirst, TSecond> firstToSecond = new Dictionary<TFirst, TSecond>();
    IDictionary<TSecond, TFirst> secondToFirst = new Dictionary<TSecond, TFirst>();

    public void Add(TFirst first, TSecond second)
    {
        if (firstToSecond.ContainsKey(first) ||
            secondToFirst.ContainsKey(second))
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Duplicate first or second");
        }
        firstToSecond.Add(first, second);
        secondToFirst.Add(second, first);
    }

    public bool TryGetByFirst(TFirst first, out TSecond second)
    {
        return firstToSecond.TryGetValue(first, out second);
    }

    public bool TryGetBySecond(TSecond second, out TFirst first)
    {
        return secondToFirst.TryGetValue(second, out first);
    }
}

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        BiDictionary<int, string> greek = new BiDictionary<int, string>();
        greek.Add(1, "Alpha");
        greek.Add(2, "Beta");
        int x;
        greek.TryGetBySecond("Beta", out x);
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
}

What's the easiest way to escape HTML in Python?

Not the easiest way, but still straightforward. The main difference from cgi.escape module - it still will work properly if you already have &amp; in your text. As you see from comments to it:

cgi.escape version

def escape(s, quote=None):
    '''Replace special characters "&", "<" and ">" to HTML-safe sequences.
    If the optional flag quote is true, the quotation mark character (")
is also translated.'''
    s = s.replace("&", "&amp;") # Must be done first!
    s = s.replace("<", "&lt;")
    s = s.replace(">", "&gt;")
    if quote:
        s = s.replace('"', "&quot;")
    return s

regex version

QUOTE_PATTERN = r"""([&<>"'])(?!(amp|lt|gt|quot|#39);)"""
def escape(word):
    """
    Replaces special characters <>&"' to HTML-safe sequences. 
    With attention to already escaped characters.
    """
    replace_with = {
        '<': '&gt;',
        '>': '&lt;',
        '&': '&amp;',
        '"': '&quot;', # should be escaped in attributes
        "'": '&#39'    # should be escaped in attributes
    }
    quote_pattern = re.compile(QUOTE_PATTERN)
    return re.sub(quote_pattern, lambda x: replace_with[x.group(0)], word)

How do you convert CString and std::string std::wstring to each other?

If you want something more C++-like, this is what I use. Although it depends on Boost, that's just for exceptions. You can easily remove those leaving it to depend only on the STL and the WideCharToMultiByte() Win32 API call.

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <cassert>
#include <exception>

#include <boost/system/system_error.hpp>
#include <boost/integer_traits.hpp>

/**
 * Convert a Windows wide string to a UTF-8 (multi-byte) string.
 */
std::string WideStringToUtf8String(const std::wstring& wide)
{
    if (wide.size() > boost::integer_traits<int>::const_max)
        throw std::length_error(
            "Wide string cannot be more than INT_MAX characters long.");
    if (wide.size() == 0)
        return "";

    // Calculate necessary buffer size
    int len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(
        CP_UTF8, 0, wide.c_str(), static_cast<int>(wide.size()), 
        NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);

    // Perform actual conversion
    if (len > 0)
    {
        std::vector<char> buffer(len);
        len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(
            CP_UTF8, 0, wide.c_str(), static_cast<int>(wide.size()),
            &buffer[0], static_cast<int>(buffer.size()), NULL, NULL);
        if (len > 0)
        {
            assert(len == static_cast<int>(buffer.size()));
            return std::string(&buffer[0], buffer.size());
        }
    }

    throw boost::system::system_error(
        ::GetLastError(), boost::system::system_category);
}

How do I obtain a Query Execution Plan in SQL Server?

Like with SQL Server Management Studio (already explained), it is also possible with Datagrip as explained here.

  1. Right-click an SQL statement, and select Explain plan.
  2. In the Output pane, click Plan.
  3. By default, you see the tree representation of the query. To see the query plan, click the Show Visualization icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U

HashMap allows duplicates?

Hashmap type Overwrite that key if hashmap key is same key

map.put("1","1111");
map.put("1","2222");

output

key:value
1:2222

Get index of array element faster than O(n)

Other answers don't take into account the possibility of an entry listed multiple times in an array. This will return a hash where each key is a unique object in the array and each value is an array of indices that corresponds to where the object lives:

a = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4]
=> [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4]

indices = a.each_with_index.inject(Hash.new { Array.new }) do |hash, (obj, i)| 
    hash[obj] += [i]
    hash
end
=> { 1 => [0, 3], 2 => [1, 4], 3 => [2, 5], 4 => [6] }

This allows for a quick search for duplicate entries:

indices.select { |k, v| v.size > 1 }
=> { 1 => [0, 3], 2 => [1, 4], 3 => [2, 5] }

How can I load the contents of a text file into a batch file variable?

Can you define further processing?

You can use a for loop to almost do this, but there's no easy way to insert CR/LF into an environment variable, so you'll have everything in one line. (you may be able to work around this depending on what you need to do.)

You're also limited to less than about 8k text files this way. (You can't create a single env var bigger than around 8k.)

Bill's suggestion of a for loop is probably what you need. You process the file one line at a time:

(use %i at a command line %%i in a batch file)

for /f "tokens=1 delims=" %%i in (file.txt) do echo %%i

more advanced:

for /f "tokens=1 delims=" %%i in (file.txt) do call :part2 %%i
goto :fin

:part2
echo %1
::do further processing here
goto :eof

:fin

what is an illegal reflective access

If you want to go with the add-open option, here's a command to find which module provides which package ->

the name of the module will be shown with the @ while the name of the packages without it

NOTE: tested with JDK 11

IMPORTANT: obviously is better than the provider of the package does not do the illegal access

SyntaxError: cannot assign to operator

Python is upset because you are attempting to assign a value to something that can't be assigned a value.

((t[1])/length) * t[1] += string

When you use an assignment operator, you assign the value of what is on the right to the variable or element on the left. In your case, there is no variable or element on the left, but instead an interpreted value: you are trying to assign a value to something that isn't a "container".

Based on what you've written, you're just misunderstanding how this operator works. Just switch your operands, like so.

string += str(((t[1])/length) * t[1])

Note that I've wrapped the assigned value in str in order to convert it into a str so that it is compatible with the string variable it is being assigned to. (Numbers and strings can't be added together.)

Differences between time complexity and space complexity?

There is a well know relation between time and space complexity.

First of all, time is an obvious bound to space consumption: in time t you cannot reach more than O(t) memory cells. This is usually expressed by the inclusion

                            DTime(f) ? DSpace(f)

where DTime(f) and DSpace(f) are the set of languages recognizable by a deterministic Turing machine in time (respectively, space) O(f). That is to say that if a problem can be solved in time O(f), then it can also be solved in space O(f).

Less evident is the fact that space provides a bound to time. Suppose that, on an input of size n, you have at your disposal f(n) memory cells, comprising registers, caches and everything. After having written these cells in all possible ways you may eventually stop your computation, since otherwise you would reenter a configuration you already went through, starting to loop. Now, on a binary alphabet, f(n) cells can be written in 2^f(n) different ways, that gives our time upper bound: either the computation will stop within this bound, or you may force termination, since the computation will never stop.

This is usually expressed in the inclusion

                          DSpace(f) ? Dtime(2^(cf))

for some constant c. the reason of the constant c is that if L is in DSpace(f) you only know that it will be recognized in Space O(f), while in the previous reasoning, f was an actual bound.

The above relations are subsumed by stronger versions, involving nondeterministic models of computation, that is the way they are frequently stated in textbooks (see e.g. Theorem 7.4 in Computational Complexity by Papadimitriou).

fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found in game programming

The two int variables are defined in the header file. This means that every source file which includes the header will contain their definition (header inclusion is purely textual). The of course leads to multiple definition errors.

You have several options to fix this.

  1. Make the variables static (static int WIDTH = 1024;). They will still exist in each source file, but their definitions will not be visible outside of the source file.

  2. Turn their definitions into declarations by using extern (extern int WIDTH;) and put the definition into one source file: int WIDTH = 1024;.

  3. Probably the best option: make the variables const (const int WIDTH = 1024;). This makes them static implicitly, and also allows them to be used as compile-time constants, allowing the compiler to use their value directly instead of issuing code to read it from the variable etc.

set pythonpath before import statements

This will add a path to your Python process / instance (i.e. the running executable). The path will not be modified for any other Python processes. Another running Python program will not have its path modified, and if you exit your program and run again the path will not include what you added before. What are you are doing is generally correct.

set.py:

import sys
sys.path.append("/tmp/TEST")

loop.py

import sys
import time
while True:
  print sys.path
  time.sleep(1)

run: python loop.py &

This will run loop.py, connected to your STDOUT, and it will continue to run in the background. You can then run python set.py. Each has a different set of environment variables. Observe that the output from loop.py does not change because set.py does not change loop.py's environment.

A note on importing

Python imports are dynamic, like the rest of the language. There is no static linking going on. The import is an executable line, just like sys.path.append....

Properties file with a list as the value for an individual key

There's probably a another way or better. But this is how I do this in Spring Boot.

My property file contains the following lines. "," is the delimiter in each line.

        MMLProperties properties = new MMLProperties();
        properties.setMmmlPots(env.getProperty("mml.pots"));
        properties.setMmmlPots(env.getProperty("mml.isdn.grunntengingar"));
        properties.setMmmlPots(env.getProperty("mml.isdn.stofntengingar"));

        ? Arrays.asList(propertie.split("\\s*,\\s*"))
        : Collections.emptyList();
    }
}

Then in my Runner class I Autowire MMLProperties

@Component
public class Runner implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired
    MMLProperties mmlProperties;

    @Override
    public void run(String... arg0) throws Exception {
        // Now I can call my getXXX function to retrieve the properties as List
        for (String command : mmlProperties.getMmmlCommandForPotsAsList()) {
            System.out.println(command);
        }
    }
}

Array of an unknown length in C#

A little background information:

As said, if you want to have a dynamic collection of things, use a List<T>. Internally, a List uses an array for storage too. That array has a fixed size just like any other array. Once an array is declared as having a size, it doesn't change. When you add an item to a List, it's added to the array. Initially, the List starts out with an array that I believe has a length of 16. When you try to add the 17th item to the List, what happens is that a new array is allocated, that's (I think) twice the size of the old one, so 32 items. Then the content of the old array is copied into the new array. So while a List may appear dynamic to the outside observer, internally it has to comply to the rules as well.

And as you might have guessed, the copying and allocation of the arrays isn't free so one should aim to have as few of those as possible and to do that you can specify (in the constructor of List) an initial size of the array, which in a perfect scenario is just big enough to hold everything you want. However, this is micro-optimization and it's unlikely it will ever matter to you, but it's always nice to know what you're actually doing.

HashMap - getting First Key value

You may also try the following in order to get the entire first entry,

Map.Entry<String, String> entry = map.entrySet().stream().findFirst().get();
String key = entry.getKey();
String value = entry.getValue();

The following shows how you may get the key of the first entry,

String key = map.entrySet().stream().map(Map.Entry::getKey).findFirst().get();
// or better
String key = map.keySet().stream().findFirst().get();

The following shows how you may get the value of the first entry,

String value = map.entrySet().stream().map(Map.Entry::getValue).findFirst().get();
// or better
String value = map.values().stream().findFirst().get();

Moreover, in case wish to get the second (same for third etc) item of a map and you have validated that this map contains at least 2 entries, you may use the following.

Map.Entry<String, String> entry = map.entrySet().stream().skip(1).findFirst().get();
String key = map.keySet().stream().skip(1).findFirst().get();
String value = map.values().stream().skip(1).findFirst().get();

MongoDB Data directory /data/db not found

MongoDB needs data directory to store data. Default path is /data/db

When you start MongoDB engine, it searches this directory which is missing in your case. Solution is create this directory and assign rwx permission to user.

If you want to change the path of your data directory then you should specify it while starting mongod server like,

mongod --dbpath /data/<path> --port <port no> 

This should help you start your mongod server with custom path and port.

Warning :-Presenting view controllers on detached view controllers is discouraged

Execute a batch file on a remote PC using a batch file on local PC

You can use WMIC or SCHTASKS (which means no third party software is needed):

1) SCHTASKS:

SCHTASKS /s remote_machine /U username /P password /create /tn "On demand demo" /tr "C:\some.bat" /sc ONCE /sd 01/01/1910 /st 00:00
SCHTASKS /s remote_machine /U username /P password /run /TN "On demand demo" 

2) WMIC (wmic will return the pid of the started process)

WMIC /NODE:"remote_machine" /user user /password password process call create "c:\some.bat","c:\exec_dir"

What is the purpose of the var keyword and when should I use it (or omit it)?

@Chris S gave a nice example showcasing the practical difference (and danger) between var and no var. Here's another one, I find this one particularly dangerous because the difference is only visible in an asynchronous environment so it can easily slip by during testing.

As you'd expect the following snippet outputs ["text"]:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function var_fun() {_x000D_
  let array = []_x000D_
  array.push('text')_x000D_
  return array_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(var_fun())
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

So does the following snippet (note the missing let before array):

_x000D_
_x000D_
function var_fun() {_x000D_
  array = []_x000D_
  array.push('text')_x000D_
  return array_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(var_fun())
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Executing the data manipulation asynchronously still produces the same result with a single executor:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function var_fun() {_x000D_
  array = [];_x000D_
  return new Promise(resolve => resolve()).then(() => {_x000D_
    array.push('text')_x000D_
    return array_x000D_
  })_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
var_fun().then(result => {console.log(result)})
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

But behaves differently with multiple ones:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function var_fun() {_x000D_
  array = [];_x000D_
  return new Promise(resolve => resolve()).then(() => {_x000D_
    array.push('text')_x000D_
    return array_x000D_
  })_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
[1,2,3].forEach(i => {_x000D_
  var_fun().then(result => {console.log(result)})_x000D_
})
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Using let however:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function var_fun() {_x000D_
  let array = [];_x000D_
  return new Promise(resolve => resolve()).then(() => {_x000D_
    array.push('text')_x000D_
    return array_x000D_
  })_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
[1,2,3].forEach(i => {_x000D_
  var_fun().then(result => {console.log(result)})_x000D_
})
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Make error: missing separator

In my case, I was actually missing a tab in between ifeq and the command on the next line. No spaces were there to begin with.

ifeq ($(wildcard $DIR_FILE), )
cd $FOLDER; cp -f $DIR_FILE.tpl $DIR_FILE.xs;
endif

Should have been:

ifeq ($(wildcard $DIR_FILE), )
<tab>cd $FOLDER; cp -f $DIR_FILE.tpl $DIR_FILE.xs;

define a List like List<int,string>?

Not sure about your specific scenario, but you have three options:

1.) use Dictionary<..,..>
2.) create a wrapper class around your values and then you can use List
3.) use Tuple

Declare and assign multiple string variables at the same time

You can to do it this way:

string Camnr = "", Klantnr = "", ... // or String.Empty

Or you could declare them all first and then in the next line use your way.

This works when there is multiple parts to an extension and is both short and efficient:

function removeExt($path)
{
    $basename = basename($path);
    return strpos($basename, '.') === false ? $path : substr($path, 0, - strlen($basename) + strlen(explode('.', $basename)[0]));
}

echo removeExt('https://example.com/file.php');
// https://example.com/file
echo removeExt('https://example.com/file.tar.gz');
// https://example.com/file
echo removeExt('file.tar.gz');
// file
echo removeExt('file');

What is 'Currying'?

There is an example of "Currying in ReasonML".

let run = () => {

    let sum = (x, y) => x + y;
    Printf.printf("sum(2, 3) : %d\n", sum(2, 3));
    let per2 = sum(2);
    Printf.printf("per2(3) : %d\n", per2(3));
  };

Does VBA have Dictionary Structure?

You can access a non-Native HashTable through System.Collections.HashTable.

HashTable

Represents a collection of key/value pairs that are organized based on the hash code of the key.

Not sure you would ever want to use this over Scripting.Dictionary but adding here for the sake of completeness. You can review the methods in case there are some of interest e.g. Clone, CopyTo

Example:

Option Explicit

Public Sub UsingHashTable()

    Dim h As Object
    Set h = CreateObject("System.Collections.HashTable")
   
    h.Add "A", 1
    ' h.Add "A", 1  ''<< Will throw duplicate key error
    h.Add "B", 2
    h("B") = 2
      
    Dim keys As mscorlib.IEnumerable 'Need to cast in order to enumerate  'https://stackoverflow.com/a/56705428/6241235
    
    Set keys = h.keys
    
    Dim k As Variant
    
    For Each k In keys
        Debug.Print k, h(k)                      'outputs the key and its associated value
    Next
    
End Sub

This answer by @MathieuGuindon gives plenty of detail about HashTable and also why it is necessary to use mscorlib.IEnumerable (early bound reference to mscorlib) in order to enumerate the key:value pairs.

Google Play Services Missing in Emulator (Android 4.4.2)

google play service is just a library to create application but in order to use application that use google play service library , you need to install google play in your emulator.and for that it need the unique device id. and device id is only on the real device not have on emulator. so for testing it , you need real android device.

How to empty the content of a div

An alternative way to do it is:

var div = document.getElementById('myDiv');
while(div.firstChild)
    div.removeChild(div.firstChild);

However, using document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML = ""; is faster.

See: Benchmark test

N.B.

Both methods preserve the div.

What are the rules for casting pointers in C?

Casting pointers is usually invalid in C. There are several reasons:

  1. Alignment. It's possible that, due to alignment considerations, the destination pointer type is not able to represent the value of the source pointer type. For example, if int * were inherently 4-byte aligned, casting char * to int * would lose the lower bits.

  2. Aliasing. In general it's forbidden to access an object except via an lvalue of the correct type for the object. There are some exceptions, but unless you understand them very well you don't want to do it. Note that aliasing is only a problem if you actually dereference the pointer (apply the * or -> operators to it, or pass it to a function that will dereference it).

The main notable cases where casting pointers is okay are:

  1. When the destination pointer type points to character type. Pointers to character types are guaranteed to be able to represent any pointer to any type, and successfully round-trip it back to the original type if desired. Pointer to void (void *) is exactly the same as a pointer to a character type except that you're not allowed to dereference it or do arithmetic on it, and it automatically converts to and from other pointer types without needing a cast, so pointers to void are usually preferable over pointers to character types for this purpose.

  2. When the destination pointer type is a pointer to structure type whose members exactly match the initial members of the originally-pointed-to structure type. This is useful for various object-oriented programming techniques in C.

Some other obscure cases are technically okay in terms of the language requirements, but problematic and best avoided.

How to run python script on terminal (ubuntu)?

This error:

python: can't open file 'test.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Means that the file "test.py" doesn't exist. (Or, it does, but it isn't in the current working directory.)

I must save the file in any specific folder to make it run on terminal?

No, it can be where ever you want. However, if you just say, "test.py", you'll need to be in the directory containing test.py.

Your terminal (actually, the shell in the terminal) has a concept of "Current working directory", which is what directory (folder) it is currently "in".

Thus, if you type something like:

python test.py

test.py needs to be in the current working directory. In Linux, you can change the current working directory with cd. You might want a tutorial if you're new. (Note that the first hit on that search for me is this YouTube video. The author in the video is using a Mac, but both Mac and Linux use bash for a shell, so it should apply to you.)

Do HttpClient and HttpClientHandler have to be disposed between requests?

Short answer: No, the statement in the currently accepted answer is NOT accurate: "The general consensus is that you do not (should not) need to dispose of HttpClient".

Long answer: BOTH of the following statements are true and achieveable at the same time:

  1. "HttpClient is intended to be instantiated once and re-used throughout the life of an application", quoted from official documentation.
  2. An IDisposable object is supposed/recommended to be disposed.

And they DO NOT NECESSARILY CONFLICT with each other. It is just a matter of how you organize your code to reuse an HttpClient AND still dispose it properly.

An even longer answer quoted from my another answer:

It is not a coincidence to see people in some blog posts blaming how HttpClient 's IDisposable interface makes them tend to use the using (var client = new HttpClient()) {...} pattern and then lead to exhausted socket handler problem.

I believe that comes down to an unspoken (mis?)conception: "an IDisposable object is expected to be short-lived".

HOWEVER, while it certainly looks like a short-lived thing when we write code in this style:

using (var foo = new SomeDisposableObject())
{
    ...
}

the official documentation on IDisposable never mentions IDisposable objects have to be short-lived. By definition, IDisposable is merely a mechanism to allow you to release unmanaged resources. Nothing more. In that sense, you are EXPECTED to eventually trigger the disposal, but it does not require you to do so in a short-lived fashion.

It is therefore your job to properly choose when to trigger the disposal, base on your real object's life cycle requirement. There is nothing stopping you from using an IDisposable in a long-lived way:

using System;
namespace HelloWorld
{
    class Hello
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            {
                for (...) { ... }  // A really long loop

                // Or you may even somehow start a daemon here

            }

            // Keep the console window open in debug mode.
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

With this new understanding, now we revisit that blog post, we can clearly notice that the "fix" initializes HttpClient once but never dispose it, that is why we can see from its netstat output that, the connection remains at ESTABLISHED state which means it has NOT been properly closed. If it were closed, its state would be in TIME_WAIT instead. In practice, it is not a big deal to leak only one connection open after your entire program ends, and the blog poster still see a performance gain after the fix; but still, it is conceptually incorrect to blame IDisposable and choose to NOT dispose it.

What is a software framework?

I'm very late to answer it. But, I would like to share one example, which I only thought of today. If I told you to cut a piece of paper with dimensions 5m by 5m, then surely you would do that. But suppose I ask you to cut 1000 pieces of paper of the same dimensions. In this case, you won't do the measuring 1000 times; obviously, you would make a frame of 5m by 5m, and then with the help of it you would be able to cut 1000 pieces of paper in less time. So, what you did was make a framework which would do a specific type of task. Instead of performing the same type of task again and again for the same type of applications, you create a framework having all those facilities together in one nice packet, hence providing the abstraction for your application and more importantly many applications.

How to use SQL Select statement with IF EXISTS sub query?

SELECT Id, 'TRUE' AS NewFiled FROM TABEL1
INTERSECT
SELECT Id, 'TRUE' AS NewFiled FROM TABEL2
UNION
SELECT Id, 'FALSE' AS NewFiled FROM TABEL1
EXCEPT
SELECT Id, 'FALSE' AS NewFiled FROM TABEL2;

TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable

Actually you can fix it with following steps -

  1. Do cls.__dict__
  2. This will give you dictionary format output which will contain {'isFilled':True} or {'isFilled':False} depending upon what you have set.
  3. Delete this entry - del cls.__dict__['isFilled']
  4. You will be able to call the method now.

In this case, we delete the entry which overrides the method as mentioned by BrenBarn.

LEFT INNER JOIN vs. LEFT OUTER JOIN - Why does the OUTER take longer?

1) in a query window in SQL Server Management Studio, run the command:

SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON

2) run your slow query

3) your query will not run, but the execution plan will be returned. store this output

4) run your fast version of the query

5) your query will not run, but the execution plan will be returned. store this output

6) compare the slow query version output to the fast query version output.

7) if you still don't know why one is slower, post both outputs in your question (edit it) and someone here can help from there.

Here is an example error message: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight\v4.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.CSharp.targets" was not found.

Note the v4.0.

To resolve, edit the project and find:

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>

And change it to v5.0.

Then reload project and it will open (unless you do not have SL 5 installed).

A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?

I came to this post by way of better understanding the inference of the infamous quote from Mac Lane's Category Theory For the Working Mathematician.

In describing what something is, it's often equally useful to describe what it's not.

The fact that Mac Lane uses the description to describe a Monad, one might imply that it describes something unique to monads. Bear with me. To develop a broader understanding of the statement, I believe it needs to be made clear that he is not describing something that is unique to monads; the statement equally describes Applicative and Arrows among others. For the same reason we can have two monoids on Int (Sum and Product), we can have several monoids on X in the category of endofunctors. But there is even more to the similarities.

Both Monad and Applicative meet the criteria:

  • endo => any arrow, or morphism that starts and ends in the same place
  • functor => any arrow, or morphism between two Categories

    (e.g., in day to day Tree a -> List b, but in Category Tree -> List)

  • monoid => single object; i.e., a single type, but in this context, only in regards to the external layer; so, we can't have Tree -> List, only List -> List.

The statement uses "Category of..." This defines the scope of the statement. As an example, the Functor Category describes the scope of f * -> g *, i.e., Any functor -> Any functor, e.g., Tree * -> List * or Tree * -> Tree *.

What a Categorical statement does not specify describes where anything and everything is permitted.

In this case, inside the functors, * -> * aka a -> b is not specified which means Anything -> Anything including Anything else. As my imagination jumps to Int -> String, it also includes Integer -> Maybe Int, or even Maybe Double -> Either String Int where a :: Maybe Double; b :: Either String Int.

So the statement comes together as follows:

  • functor scope :: f a -> g b (i.e., any parameterized type to any parameterized type)
  • endo + functor :: f a -> f b (i.e., any one parameterized type to the same parameterized type) ... said differently,
  • a monoid in the category of endofunctor

So, where is the power of this construct? To appreciate the full dynamics, I needed to see that the typical drawings of a monoid (single object with what looks like an identity arrow, :: single object -> single object), fails to illustrate that I'm permitted to use an arrow parameterized with any number of monoid values, from the one type object permitted in Monoid. The endo, ~ identity arrow definition of equivalence ignores the functor's type value and both the type and value of the most inner, "payload" layer. Thus, equivalence returns true in any situation where the functorial types match (e.g., Nothing -> Just * -> Nothing is equivalent to Just * -> Just * -> Just * because they are both Maybe -> Maybe -> Maybe).

Sidebar: ~ outside is conceptual, but is the left most symbol in f a. It also describes what "Haskell" reads-in first (big picture); so Type is "outside" in relation to a Type Value. The relationship between layers (a chain of references) in programming is not easy to relate in Category. The Category of Set is used to describe Types (Int, Strings, Maybe Int etc.) which includes the Category of Functor (parameterized Types). The reference chain: Functor Type, Functor values (elements of that Functor's set, e.g., Nothing, Just), and in turn, everything else each functor value points to. In Category the relationship is described differently, e.g., return :: a -> m a is considered a natural transformation from one Functor to another Functor, different from anything mentioned thus far.

Back to the main thread, all in all, for any defined tensor product and a neutral value, the statement ends up describing an amazingly powerful computational construct born from its paradoxical structure:

  • on the outside it appears as a single object (e.g., :: List); static
  • but inside, permits a lot of dynamics
    • any number of values of the same type (e.g., Empty | ~NonEmpty) as fodder to functions of any arity. The tensor product will reduce any number of inputs to a single value... for the external layer (~fold that says nothing about the payload)
    • infinite range of both the type and values for the inner most layer

In Haskell, clarifying the applicability of the statement is important. The power and versatility of this construct, has absolutely nothing to do with a monad per se. In other words, the construct does not rely on what makes a monad unique.

When trying to figure out whether to build code with a shared context to support computations that depend on each other, versus computations that can be run in parallel, this infamous statement, with as much as it describes, is not a contrast between the choice of Applicative, Arrows and Monads, but rather is a description of how much they are the same. For the decision at hand, the statement is moot.

This is often misunderstood. The statement goes on to describe join :: m (m a) -> m a as the tensor product for the monoidal endofunctor. However, it does not articulate how, in the context of this statement, (<*>) could also have also been chosen. It truly is a an example of six/half dozen. The logic for combining values are exactly alike; same input generates the same output from each (unlike the Sum and Product monoids for Int because they generate different results when combining Ints).

So, to recap: A monoid in the category of endofunctors describes:

   ~t :: m * -> m * -> m *
   and a neutral value for m *

(<*>) and (>>=) both provide simultaneous access to the two m values in order to compute the the single return value. The logic used to compute the return value is exactly the same. If it were not for the different shapes of the functions they parameterize (f :: a -> b versus k :: a -> m b) and the position of the parameter with the same return type of the computation (i.e., a -> b -> b versus b -> a -> b for each respectively), I suspect we could have parameterized the monoidal logic, the tensor product, for reuse in both definitions. As an exercise to make the point, try and implement ~t, and you end up with (<*>) and (>>=) depending on how you decide to define it forall a b.

If my last point is at minimum conceptually true, it then explains the precise, and only computational difference between Applicative and Monad: the functions they parameterize. In other words, the difference is external to the implementation of these type classes.

In conclusion, in my own experience, Mac Lane's infamous quote provided a great "goto" meme, a guidepost for me to reference while navigating my way through Category to better understand the idioms used in Haskell. It succeeds at capturing the scope of a powerful computing capacity made wonderfully accessible in Haskell.

However, there is irony in how I first misunderstood the statement's applicability outside of the monad, and what I hope conveyed here. Everything that it describes turns out to be what is similar between Applicative and Monads (and Arrows among others). What it doesn't say is precisely the small but useful distinction between them.

How do you change video src using jQuery?

     $(document).ready(function () {     
    setTimeout(function () {
                    $(".imgthumbnew").click(function () {
                        $("#divVideo video").attr({
                            "src": $(this).data("item"),
                            "autoplay": "autoplay",        
                        })
                    })
                }, 2000); 
            }
        });

here ".imgthumbnew" is the class of images which are thumbs of videos, an extra attribute is given to them which have video url. u can change according to your convenient.
i would suggest you to give an ID to ur Video tag it would be easy to handle.

How to get Last record from Sqlite?

The previous answers assume that there is an incrementing integer ID column, so MAX(ID) gives the last row. But sometimes the keys are of text type, not ordered in a predictable way. So in order to take the last 1 or N rows (#Nrows#) we can follow a different approach:

Select * From [#TableName#]  LIMIT #Nrows# offset cast((SELECT count(*)  FROM [#TableName#]) AS INT)- #Nrows#

In React Native, how do I put a view on top of another view, with part of it lying outside the bounds of the view behind?

You can use zIndex for placing a view on top of another. It works like the CSS z-index property - components with a larger zIndex will render on top.

You can refer: Layout Props

Can someone provide an example of a $destroy event for scopes in AngularJS?

$destroy can refer to 2 things: method and event

1. method - $scope.$destroy

.directive("colorTag", function(){
  return {
    restrict: "A",
    scope: {
      value: "=colorTag"
    },
    link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
      var colors = new App.Colors();
      element.css("background-color", stringToColor(scope.value));
      element.css("color", contrastColor(scope.value));

      // Destroy scope, because it's no longer needed.
      scope.$destroy();
    }
  };
})

2. event - $scope.$on("$destroy")

See @SunnyShah's answer.

Http Servlet request lose params from POST body after read it once

The above answers were very helpful, but still had some problems in my experience. On tomcat 7 servlet 3.0, the getParamter and getParamterValues also had to be overwritten. The solution here includes both get-query parameters and the post-body. It allows for getting raw-string easily.

Like the other solutions it uses Apache commons-io and Googles Guava.

In this solution the getParameter* methods do not throw IOException but they use super.getInputStream() (to get the body) which may throw IOException. I catch it and throw runtimeException. It is not so nice.

Uploading file using POST request in Node.js

Leonid Beschastny's answer works but I also had to convert ArrayBuffer to Buffer that is used in the Node's request module. After uploading file to the server I had it in the same format that comes from the HTML5 FileAPI (I'm using Meteor). Full code below - maybe it will be helpful for others.

function toBuffer(ab) {
  var buffer = new Buffer(ab.byteLength);
  var view = new Uint8Array(ab);
  for (var i = 0; i < buffer.length; ++i) {
    buffer[i] = view[i];
  }
  return buffer;
}

var req = request.post(url, function (err, resp, body) {
  if (err) {
    console.log('Error!');
  } else {
    console.log('URL: ' + body);
  }
});
var form = req.form();
form.append('file', toBuffer(file.data), {
  filename: file.name,
  contentType: file.type
});

Android Error [Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.app.ActionBar' on a null object reference]

Whenever such an error occurs. Try to check Following Things

  1. Check what kind of Activity is being used, is it a simple android.app Activity or an AppCompatActivity or an ActionBarActivity and so on.

  2. Check if your activity type which is extended falls under the compat category

example android.app based Activity/Fragment are non appCompat types, whereas android.support.v4.app.Fragment or android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat are appCompat based

if it falls under appCompat we use getSupportActionBar() else for android.app types we can use getActionBar()

  1. Check the theme applied to the activity in question in the manifest file

example: In the manifest file if theme applied is say android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" getActionBar() will work

but if theme applied for the activity in the manifest is as follows android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light" then you have to use getSupportActionBar()

"Untrusted App Developer" message when installing enterprise iOS Application

You absolutely can avoid this issue if you manage the device with MDM or have access to Apple Configurator.

The solution is to push either the Developer or iOS Distribution certificate to the device via MDM or Apple Configurator. Once you do that, any application signed by that cert will be trusted.

When you click on "Do you trust this developer", you're essentially adding that certificate manually on a per-app basis.

Python: Differentiating between row and column vectors

Here's another intuitive way. Suppose we have:

>>> a = np.array([1, 3, 4])
>>> a
array([1, 3, 4])

First we make a 2D array with that as the only row:

>>> a = np.array([a])
>>> a
array([[1, 3, 4]])

Then we can transpose it:

>>> a.T
array([[1],
       [3],
       [4]])

Xcode 4 - "Archive" is greyed out?

I fixed this today...sort of. Although the archives still don't show up anywhere. But I got the Archive option back by going into Build Settings for the project and re-assigning my certs under "Code Signing Identity" for each build. They seemed to have gotten reset to something else when imported my 3.X project to 4.

I also used the instructions found here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/DistApps/DistApps.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010215-CH11-DontLinkElementID_69

But I still can't get the actual archives to show up in Organizer (even though the files exist)

remove attribute display:none; so the item will be visible

If you are planning to hide show some span based on click event which is initially hidden with style="display:none" then .toggle() is best option to go with.

$("span").toggle();

Reasons : Each time you don't need to check whether the style is already there or not. .toggle() will take care of that automatically and hide/show span based on current state.

Flexbox Not Centering Vertically in IE

I found that ie browser have problem to vertically align inner containers, when only the min-height style is set or when height style is missing at all. What I did was to add height style with some value and that fix the issue for me.

for example :

.outer
    {
       display: -ms-flexbox;
       display: -webkit-flex;
       display: flex;

       /* Center vertically */
       align-items: center;

       /*Center horizontaly */
       justify-content: center;

       /*Center horizontaly ie */
       -ms-flex-pack: center;

        min-height: 220px; 
        height:100px;
    }

So now we have height style, but the min-height will overwrite it. That way ie is happy and we still can use min-height.

Hope this is helpful for someone.

Stop mouse event propagation

I had to stopPropigation and preventDefault in order to prevent a button expanding an accordion item that it sat above.

So...

C++ Array Of Pointers

For example, if you want an array of int pointers it will be int* a[10]. It means that variable a is a collection of 10 int* s.

EDIT

I guess this is what you want to do:

class Bar
{
};

class Foo
{
public:

    //Takes number of bar elements in the pointer array
    Foo(int size_in);

    ~Foo();
    void add(Bar& bar);
private:

    //Pointer to bar array
    Bar** m_pBarArr;

    //Current fee bar index
    int m_index;
};

Foo::Foo(int size_in) : m_index(0)
{
    //Allocate memory for the array of bar pointers
    m_pBarArr = new Bar*[size_in];
}

Foo::~Foo()
{
    //Notice delete[] and not delete
    delete[] m_pBarArr;
    m_pBarArr = NULL;
}

void Foo::add(Bar &bar)
{
    //Store the pointer into the array. 
    //This is dangerous, you are assuming that bar object
    //is valid even when you try to use it
    m_pBarArr[m_index++] = &bar;
}

How can I easily convert DataReader to List<T>?

I have written the following method using this case.

First, add the namespace: System.Reflection

For Example: T is return type(ClassName) and dr is parameter to mapping DataReader

C#, Call mapping method like the following:

List<Person> personList = new List<Person>();
personList = DataReaderMapToList<Person>(dataReaderForPerson);

This is the mapping method:

public static List<T> DataReaderMapToList<T>(IDataReader dr)
{
    List<T> list = new List<T>();
    T obj = default(T);
    while (dr.Read()) {
        obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
        foreach (PropertyInfo prop in obj.GetType().GetProperties()) {
            if (!object.Equals(dr[prop.Name], DBNull.Value)) {
                prop.SetValue(obj, dr[prop.Name], null);
            }
        }
        list.Add(obj);
    }
    return list;
}

VB.NET, Call mapping method like the following:

Dim personList As New List(Of Person)
personList = DataReaderMapToList(Of Person)(dataReaderForPerson)

This is the mapping method:

Public Shared Function DataReaderMapToList(Of T)(ByVal dr As IDataReader) As List(Of T)
        Dim list As New List(Of T)
        Dim obj As T
        While dr.Read()
            obj = Activator.CreateInstance(Of T)()
            For Each prop As PropertyInfo In obj.GetType().GetProperties()
                If Not Object.Equals(dr(prop.Name), DBNull.Value) Then
                    prop.SetValue(obj, dr(prop.Name), Nothing)
                End If
            Next
            list.Add(obj)
        End While
        Return list
    End Function

Proper way to restrict text input values (e.g. only numbers)

I use this one:


import { Directive, ElementRef, HostListener, Input, Output, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
    selector: '[ngModel][onlyNumber]',
    host: {
        "(input)": 'onInputChange($event)'
    }
})
export class OnlyNumberDirective {

    @Input() onlyNumber: boolean;
    @Output() ngModelChange: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter()

    constructor(public el: ElementRef) {
    }

    public onInputChange($event){
        if ($event.target.value == '-') {
            return;
        }

        if ($event.target.value && $event.target.value.endsWith('.')) {
            return;
        }

        $event.target.value = this.parseNumber($event.target.value);
        $event.target.dispatchEvent(new Event('input'));
    }

    @HostListener('blur', ['$event'])
    public onBlur(event: Event) {
        if (!this.onlyNumber) {
            return;
        }

        this.el.nativeElement.value = this.parseNumber(this.el.nativeElement.value);
        this.el.nativeElement.dispatchEvent(new Event('input'));
    }

    private parseNumber(input: any): any {
        let trimmed = input.replace(/[^0-9\.-]+/g, '');
        let parsedNumber = parseFloat(trimmed);

        return !isNaN(parsedNumber) ? parsedNumber : '';
    }

}

and usage is following

<input onlyNumbers="true" ... />

Cause of a process being a deadlock victim

The answers here are worth a try, but you should also review your code. Specifically have a read of Polyfun's answer here: How to get rid of deadlock in a SQL Server 2005 and C# application?

It explains the concurrency issue, and how the usage of "with (updlock)" in your queries might correct your deadlock situation - depending really on exactly what your code is doing. If your code does follow this pattern, this is likely a better fix to make, before resorting to dirty reads, etc.

Make new column in Panda dataframe by adding values from other columns

As of Pandas version 0.16.0 you can use assign as follows:

df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1,2,3], "B": [4,6,9]})
df.assign(C = df.A + df.B)

# Out[383]: 
#    A  B   C
# 0  1  4   5
# 1  2  6   8
# 2  3  9  12

You can add multiple columns this way as follows:

df.assign(C = df.A + df.B,
          Diff = df.B - df.A,
          Mult = df.A * df.B)
# Out[379]: 
#    A  B   C  Diff  Mult
# 0  1  4   5     3     4
# 1  2  6   8     4    12
# 2  3  9  12     6    27

What's the difference between __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, __FUNCTION__, __func__?

__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ handles C++ features: classes, namespaces, templates and overload

main.cpp

#include <iostream>

namespace N {
    class C {
        public:
            template <class T>
            static void f(int i) {
                (void)i;
                std::cout << "__func__            " << __func__ << std::endl
                          << "__FUNCTION__        " << __FUNCTION__ << std::endl
                          << "__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ " << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << std::endl;
            }
            template <class T>
            static void f(double f) {
                (void)f;
                std::cout << "__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ " << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << std::endl;
            }
    };
}

int main() {
    N::C::f<char>(1);
    N::C::f<void>(1.0);
}

Compile and run:

g++ -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -o main.out main.cpp
./main.out

Output:

__func__            f
__FUNCTION__        f
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ static void N::C::f(int) [with T = char]
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ static void N::C::f(double) [with T = void]

C++20 std::source_location::function_name

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p1208r5.pdf went into C++20, so we have yet another way to do it.

The documentation says:

constexpr const char* function_name() const noexcept;

6 Returns: If this object represents a position in the body of a function, returns an implementation-defined NTBS that should correspond to the function name. Otherwise, returns an empty string.

where NTBS means "Null Terminated Byte String".

I'll give it a try when support arrives to GCC, GCC 9.1.0 with g++-9 -std=c++2a still doesn't support it.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/source_location claims usage will be like:

#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
#include <source_location>
 
void log(std::string_view message,
         const std::source_location& location std::source_location::current()
) {
    std::cout << "info:"
              << location.file_name() << ":"
              << location.line() << ":"
              << location.function_name() << " "
              << message << '\n';
}
 
int main() {
    log("Hello world!");
}

Possible output:

info:main.cpp:16:main Hello world!

so note how this returns the caller information, and is therefore perfect for usage in logging, see also: Is there a way to get function name inside a C++ function?

How to initialize private static members in C++?

For a variable:

foo.h:

class foo
{
private:
    static int i;
};

foo.cpp:

int foo::i = 0;

This is because there can only be one instance of foo::i in your program. It's sort of the equivalent of extern int i in a header file and int i in a source file.

For a constant you can put the value straight in the class declaration:

class foo
{
private:
    static int i;
    const static int a = 42;
};

BATCH file asks for file or folder

A seemingly undocumented trick is to put a * at the end of the destination - then xcopy will copy as a file, like so

xcopy c:\source\file.txt c:\destination\newfile.txt*

The echo f | xcopy ... trick does not work on localized versions of Windows, where the prompt is different.

How to use confirm using sweet alert?

100% working

Do some little trick using attribute. In your form add an attribute like data-flag in your form, assign "0" as false.

<form id="from1" data-flag="0">
    //your inputs
</form>

In your javascript:

document.querySelector('#from1').onsubmit = function(e){

    $flag = $(this).attr('data-flag');

    if($flag==0){
        e.preventDefault(); //to prevent submitting

        swal({
            title: "Are you sure?",
            text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
            type: "warning",
            showCancelButton: true,
            confirmButtonColor: '#DD6B55',
            confirmButtonText: 'Yes, I am sure!',
            cancelButtonText: "No, cancel it!",
            closeOnConfirm: false,
            closeOnCancel: false
         },
         function(isConfirm){

           if (isConfirm){
                swal("Shortlisted!", "Candidates are successfully shortlisted!", "success");

                //update the data-flag to 1 (as true), to submit
                $('#from1').attr('data-flag', '1');
                $('#from1').submit();
            } else {
                swal("Cancelled", "Your imaginary file is safe :)", "error"); 
            }
         });
    }

How do I copy items from list to list without foreach?

OK this is working well From the suggestions above GetRange( ) does not work for me with a list as an argument...so sweetening things up a bit from posts above: ( thanks everyone :)

/*  Where __strBuf is a string list used as a dumping ground for data  */
public List < string > pullStrLst( )
{
    List < string > lst;

    lst = __strBuf.GetRange( 0, __strBuf.Count );     

    __strBuf.Clear( );

    return( lst );
}

Is there a way to call a stored procedure with Dapper?

I think the answer depends on which features of stored procedures you need to use.

Stored procedures returning a result set can be run using Query; stored procedures which don't return a result set can be run using Execute - in both cases (using EXEC <procname>) as the SQL command (plus input parameters as necessary). See the documentation for more details.

As of revision 2d128ccdc9a2 there doesn't appear to be native support for OUTPUT parameters; you could add this, or alternatively construct a more complex Query command which declared TSQL variables, executed the SP collecting OUTPUT parameters into the local variables and finallyreturned them in a result set:

DECLARE @output int

EXEC <some stored proc> @i = @output OUTPUT

SELECT @output AS output1

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'user'

Check your imports. There could be two classes with the same name. Either from your code or from a library you are using. Personally that was the issue.

Maven2 property that indicates the parent directory

The following small profile worked for me. I needed such a configuration for CheckStyle, which I put into the config directory in the root of the project, so I can run it from the main module and from submodules.

<profile>
    <id>root-dir</id>
    <activation>
        <file>
            <exists>${project.basedir}/../../config/checkstyle.xml</exists>
        </file>
    </activation>
    <properties>
        <project.config.path>${project.basedir}/../config</project.config.path>
    </properties>
</profile>

It won't work for nested modules, but I'm sure it can be modified for that using several profiles with different exists's. (I have no idea why there should be "../.." in the verification tag and just ".." in the overriden property itself, but it works only in that way.)

Bootstrap center heading

Per your comments, to center all headings all you have to do is add text-align:center to all of them at the same time, like so:

CSS

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
        text-align: center;
    }

Android: combining text & image on a Button or ImageButton

Probably my solution will suit for a lot of users, I hope so.

What I am suggesting it is making TextView with your style. It works for me perfectly, and has got all features, like a button.

First of all lets make button style, which you can use everywhere...I am creating button_with_hover.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#8dbab3" />
            <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#48608F" android:endColor="#48608F"  />
        </shape>

        <!--#284682;-->
        <!--border-color: #223b6f;-->
    </item>
    <item android:state_focused="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#284682" />
            <solid android:color="#284682"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="@color/ControlColors" />
            <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="@color/ControlColors" android:endColor="@color/ControlColors" />
        </shape>
    </item>

</selector>

Secondly, Lets create a textview button.

    <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"
    android:layout_gravity="right|bottom"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="12dip"
    android:background="@drawable/button_with_hover"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:drawableLeft="@android:drawable/btn_star_big_off"
    android:textColor="#ffffffff"
    android:text="Golden Gate" />

And this is a result. Then style your custom button with any colors or any other properties and margins. Good luck

Handling a timeout error in python sockets

I had enough success just catchig socket.timeout and socket.error; although socket.error can be raised for lots of reasons. Be careful.

import socket
import logging

hostname='google.com'
port=443

try:
    sock = socket.create_connection((hostname, port), timeout=3)

except socket.timeout as err:
    logging.error(err)

except socket.error as err:
    logging.error(err)

Convert nullable bool? to bool

How should strace be used?

Strace can be used as a debugging tool, or as a primitive profiler.

As a debugger, you can see how given system calls were called, executed and what they return. This is very important, as it allows you to see not only that a program failed, but WHY a program failed. Usually it's just a result of lousy coding not catching all the possible outcomes of a program. Other times it's just hardcoded paths to files. Without strace you get to guess what went wrong where and how. With strace you get a breakdown of a syscall, usually just looking at a return value tells you a lot.

Profiling is another use. You can use it to time execution of each syscalls individually, or as an aggregate. While this might not be enough to fix your problems, it will at least greatly narrow down the list of potential suspects. If you see a lot of fopen/close pairs on a single file, you probably unnecessairly open and close files every execution of a loop, instead of opening and closing it outside of a loop.

Ltrace is strace's close cousin, also very useful. You must learn to differenciate where your bottleneck is. If a total execution is 8 seconds, and you spend only 0.05secs on system calls, then stracing the program is not going to do you much good, the problem is in your code, which is usually a logic problem, or the program actually needs to take that long to run.

The biggest problem with strace/ltrace is reading their output. If you don't know how the calls are made, or at least the names of syscalls/functions, it's going to be difficult to decipher the meaning. Knowing what the functions return can also be very beneficial, especially for different error codes. While it's a pain to decipher, they sometimes really return a pearl of knowledge; once I saw a situation where I ran out of inodes, but not out of free space, thus all the usual utilities didn't give me any warning, I just couldn't make a new file. Reading the error code from strace's output pointed me in the right direction.

Python threading. How do I lock a thread?

You can see that your locks are pretty much working as you are using them, if you slow down the process and make them block a bit more. You had the right idea, where you surround critical pieces of code with the lock. Here is a small adjustment to your example to show you how each waits on the other to release the lock.

import threading
import time
import inspect

class Thread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, t, *args):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self, target=t, args=args)
        self.start()

count = 0

ls command: how can I get a recursive full-path listing, one line per file?

The easiest way for all you future people is simply:

du

This however, also shows the size of whats contained in each folder You can use awk to output only the folder name:

du | awk '{print $2}'

Edit- Sorry sorry, my bad. I thought it was only folders that were needed. Ill leave this here in case anyone in the future needs it anyways...

How do I include a file over 2 directories back?

But be VERY careful about letting a user select the file. You don't really want to allow them to get a file called, for example,

../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

or other sensitive system files.

(Sorry, it's been a while since I was a linux sysadmin, and I think this is a sensitive file, from what I remember)

How to know the git username and email saved during configuration?

List all variables set in the config file, along with their values.

git config --list

If you are new to git then use the following commands to set a user name and email address.

Set user name

git config --global user.name "your Name"

Set user email

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Check user name

git config user.name

Check user email

git config user.email

How can I format my grep output to show line numbers at the end of the line, and also the hit count?

grep find the lines and output the line numbers, but does not let you "program" other things. If you want to include arbitrary text and do other "programming", you can use awk,

$ awk '/null/{c++;print $0," - Line number: "NR}END{print "Total null count: "c}' file
example two null,  - Line number: 2
example four null,  - Line number: 4
Total null count: 2

Or only using the shell(bash/ksh)

c=0
while read -r line
do
  case "$line" in
   *null* )  (
    ((c++))
    echo "$line - Line number $c"
    ;;
  esac
done < "file"
echo "total count: $c"

Removing special characters VBA Excel

Here is how removed special characters.

I simply applied regex

Dim strPattern As String: strPattern = "[^a-zA-Z0-9]" 'The regex pattern to find special characters
Dim strReplace As String: strReplace = "" 'The replacement for the special characters
Set regEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") 'Initialize the regex object    
Dim GCID As String: GCID = "Text #N/A" 'The text to be stripped of special characters

' Configure the regex object
With regEx
    .Global = True
    .MultiLine = True
    .IgnoreCase = False
    .Pattern = strPattern
End With

' Perform the regex replacement
GCID = regEx.Replace(GCID, strReplace)

What to use now Google News API is deprecated?

Looks like you might have until the end of 2013 before they officially close it down. http://groups.google.com/group/google-ajax-search-api/browse_thread/thread/6aaa1b3529620610/d70f8eec3684e431?lnk=gst&q=news+api#d70f8eec3684e431

Also, it sounds like they are building a replacement... but it's going to cost you.

I'd say, go to a different service. I think bing has a news API.

Jquery: how to trigger click event on pressing enter key

Are you trying to mimic a click on a button when the enter key is pressed? If so you may need to use the trigger syntax.

Try changing

$('input[name = butAssignProd]').click();

to

$('input[name = butAssignProd]').trigger("click");

If this isn't the problem then try taking a second look at your key capture syntax by looking at the solutions in this post: jQuery Event Keypress: Which key was pressed?

Is there an easy way to check the .NET Framework version?

I tried to combine all the answers into a single whole.

Using:

NetFrameworkUtilities.GetVersion() will return the currently available Version of the .NET Framework at this time or null if it is not present.

This example works in .NET Framework versions 3.5+. It does not require administrator rights.

I want to note that you can check the version using the operators < and > like this:

var version = NetFrameworkUtilities.GetVersion();
if (version != null && version < new Version(4, 5))
{
    MessageBox.Show("Your .NET Framework version is less than 4.5");
}

Code:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace Utilities
{
    public static class NetFrameworkUtilities
    {
        public static Version GetVersion() => GetVersionHigher4() ?? GetVersionLowerOr4();

        private static Version GetVersionLowerOr4()
        {
            using (var key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP"))
            {
                var names = key?.GetSubKeyNames();

                //version names start with 'v', eg, 'v3.5' which needs to be trimmed off before conversion
                var text = names?.LastOrDefault()?.Remove(0, 1);
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
                {
                    return null;
                }

                return text.Contains('.')
                    ? new Version(text)
                    : new Version(Convert.ToInt32(text), 0);
            }
        }

        private static Version GetVersionHigher4()
        {

                var releaseKey = Convert.ToInt32(value);
                if (releaseKey >= 461308) return new Version(4, 7, 1);
                if (releaseKey >= 460798) return new Version(4, 7);
                if (releaseKey >= 394747) return new Version(4, 6, 2);
                if (releaseKey >= 394254) return new Version(4, 6, 1);

How do I write a compareTo method which compares objects?

If you using compare To method of the Comparable interface in any class. This can be used to arrange the string in Lexicographically.

public class Student() implements Comparable<Student>{

public int compareTo(Object obj){
if(this==obj){
    return 0;
}
if(obj!=null){
    String objName = ((Student)obj).getName();
    return this.name.comapreTo.(objName);

    alert("off screen");
}

How to compare two double values in Java?

Just use Double.compare() method to compare double values.
Double.compare((d1,d2) == 0)

Run git pull over all subdirectories

Original answer 2010:

If all of those directories are separate git repo, you should reference them as submodules.

That means your "origin" would be that remote repo 'plugins' which only contains references to subrepos 'cms', 'admin', 'chart'.

A git pull followed by a git submodule update would achieve what your are looking for.


Update January 2016:

With Git 2.8 (Q1 2016), you will be able to fetch submodules in parallel (!) with git fetch --recurse-submodules -j2.
See "How to speed up / parallelize downloads of git submodules using git clone --recursive?"

What is uintptr_t data type

uintptr_t is an unsigned integer type that is capable of storing a data pointer. Which typically means that it's the same size as a pointer.

It is optionally defined in C++11 and later standards.

A common reason to want an integer type that can hold an architecture's pointer type is to perform integer-specific operations on a pointer, or to obscure the type of a pointer by providing it as an integer "handle".

How to create the most compact mapping n ? isprime(n) up to a limit N?

Smallest memory? This isn't smallest, but is a step in the right direction.

class PrimeDictionary {
    BitArray bits;

    public PrimeDictionary(int n) {
        bits = new BitArray(n + 1);
        for (int i = 0; 2 * i + 3 <= n; i++) {
            bits.Set(i, CheckPrimality(2 * i + 3));
        }
    }

    public PrimeDictionary(IEnumerable<int> primes) {
        bits = new BitArray(primes.Max());
        foreach(var prime in primes.Where(p => p != 2)) {
            bits.Set((prime - 3) / 2, true);
        }
    }

    public bool IsPrime(int k) {
        if (k == 2) {
            return true;
        }
        if (k % 2 == 0) {
            return false;
        }
        return bits[(k - 3) / 2];
    }
}

Of course, you have to specify the definition of CheckPrimality.

How are software license keys generated?

If you aren't particularly concerned with the length of the key, a pretty tried and true method is the use of public and private key encryption.

Essentially have some kind of nonce and a fixed signature.

For example: 0001-123456789

Where 0001 is your nonce and 123456789 is your fixed signature.

Then encrypt this using your private key to get your CD key which is something like: ABCDEF9876543210

Then distribute the public key with your application. The public key can be used to decrypt the CD key "ABCDEF9876543210", which you then verify the fixed signature portion of.

This then prevents someone from guessing what the CD key is for the nonce 0002 because they don't have the private key.

The only major down side is that your CD keys will be quite long when using private / public keys 1024-bit in size. You also need to choose a nonce long enough so you aren't encrypting a trivial amount of information.

The up side is that this method will work without "activation" and you can use things like an email address or licensee name as the nonce.

Eclipse: The declared package does not match the expected package

I just ran into this problem, and since Mr. Skeet's solution did not work for me, I'll share how I solved this problem.

It turns out that I opened the java file under the 'src' before declaring it a source directory.

After right clicking on the 'src' directory in eclipse, selecting 'build path', and then 'Use as Source Folder'

Close and reopen the already opened java file (F5 refreshing it did not work).

Provided the path to the java file from "prefix1" onwards lines up with the package in the file (example from the requester's question prefix1.prefix.packagename2). This should work

Eclipse should no longer complain about 'src.'

What does EntityManager.flush do and why do I need to use it?

A call to EntityManager.flush(); will force the data to be persist in the database immediately as EntityManager.persist() will not (depending on how the EntityManager is configured : FlushModeType (AUTO or COMMIT) by default it's set to AUTO and a flush will be done automatically by if it's set to COMMIT the persitence of the data to the underlying database will be delayed when the transaction is commited).

Select a random sample of results from a query result

Sample function is used for sample data in ORACLE. So you can try like this:-

SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME SAMPLE(50);

Here 50 is the percentage of data contained by the table. So if you want 1000 rows from 100000. You can execute a query like:

SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME SAMPLE(1);

Hope this can help you.

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine Mac OSX Mavericks

if you tried running java with -version argument, and even though the problem could not be solved by any means, then you might have installed many java versions, like JDK 1.8 and JDK 1.7 at the same time.

So try uninstalling all other versions other than the one you need, then set the JAVA_HOMEpath variable for that JDK remaining, and you're done.

How to resolve compiler warning 'implicit declaration of function memset'

What is the difference between Trap and Interrupt?

I think Traps are caused by the execution of current instruction and thus they are called as synchronous events. where as interrupts are caused by an independent instruction that is running in the processor which are related to external events and thus are known as asynchronous ones.

jQuery if Element has an ID?

You can use each() function to evalute all a tags and bind click to that specific element you clicked on. Then throw some logic with an if statement.

See fiddle here.

$('a').each(function() {
    $(this).click(function() {
        var el= $(this).attr('id');
        if (el === 'notme') {
            // do nothing or something else
        } else {
            $('p').toggle();
        }
    });
});

How to search through all Git and Mercurial commits in the repository for a certain string?

Building on rq's answer, I found this line does what I want:

git grep "search for something" $(git log -g --pretty=format:%h -S"search for something")

Which will report the commit ID, filename, and display the matching line, like this:

... Does anyone agree that this would be a nice option to be included in the standard git grep command?

Is there a way to get rid of accents and convert a whole string to regular letters?

As of 2011 you can use Apache Commons StringUtils.stripAccents(input) (since 3.0):

    System.out.println(input);
    // Prints "This is a funky String"

Note:

The accepted answer (Erick Robertson's) doesn't work for Ø or L. Apache Commons 3.5 doesn't work for Ø either, but it does work for L. After reading the Wikipedia article for Ø, I'm not sure it should be replaced with "O": it's a separate letter in Norwegian and Danish, alphabetized after "z". It's a good example of the limitations of the "strip accents" approach.

What does "exited with code 9009" mean during this build?

Check the spelling. I was trying to call an executable but had the name misspelled and it gave me the exited with code 9009 message.

How to tell which row number is clicked in a table?

In some cases we could have a couple of tables, and then we need to detect click just for particular table. My solution is this:

<table id="elitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
  <tr>
 <td>100</td><td>AAA</td><td>aaa</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td>200</td><td>BBB</td><td>bbb</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
<td>300</td><td>CCC</td><td>ccc</td>
  </tr>
</table>


    <script>
    $(function(){
        $("#elitable tr").click(function(){
        alert (this.rowIndex);
        });
    });
    </script>

How to pip or easy_install tkinter on Windows

I came here looking for an answer to this same question and none of the answers above actually answer the question at all!

So after some investigation I found out: there is a package (for python 3.x at least):

pip3 install pytk

The problem is, it is only the python part of the equation and doesn't install the tkinter libraries in your OS, so the answer is that you can't install it completely via pip https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html

Personally I find this very annoying as i'm packaging a python application to be installed via pip that uses tkinter and I was looking for a way to have pip ensure that tkinter is installed and the answer is I can't I have to instruct users to install it if it's not installed already, a very poor experience for end users who should not need to know or care what tkinter is to use my application.

Bootstrap 4, How do I center-align a button?

What worked for me was (adapt "css/style.css" to your css path):

Head HTML:

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" media="screen" />

Body HTML:

 <div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="mycentered-text">
      <button class="btn btn-default"> Login </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Css:

.mycentered-text {
    text-align:center
}

What are Transient and Volatile Modifiers?

Volatile means other threads can edit that particular variable. So the compiler allows access to them.

Transient means that when you serialize an object, it will return its default value on de-serialization

How to prove that a problem is NP complete?

You need to reduce an NP-Complete problem to the problem you have. If the reduction can be done in polynomial time then you have proven that your problem is NP-complete, if the problem is already in NP, because:

It is not easier than the NP-complete problem, since it can be reduced to it in polynomial time which makes the problem NP-Hard.

Force Internet Explorer to use a specific Java Runtime Environment install?

As has been mentioned here for JRE6 and JRE5, I will update for JRE1.4:

You will need to run the jpicpl32.exe application in the jre/bin directory of your java installation (e.g. c:\java\jdk1.4.2_07\jre\bin\jpicpl32.exe).

This is an earlier version of the application mentioned in Daniel Cassidy's post.

Python xml ElementTree from a string source?

If you're using xml.etree.ElementTree.parse to parse from a file, then you can use xml.etree.ElementTree.fromstring to parse from text.

See xml.etree.ElementTree

COUNT(*) vs. COUNT(1) vs. COUNT(pk): which is better?

Two of them always produce the same answer:

  • COUNT(*) counts the number of rows
  • COUNT(1) also counts the number of rows

Assuming the pk is a primary key and that no nulls are allowed in the values, then

  • COUNT(pk) also counts the number of rows

However, if pk is not constrained to be not null, then it produces a different answer:

  • COUNT(possibly_null) counts the number of rows with non-null values in the column possibly_null.

  • COUNT(DISTINCT pk) also counts the number of rows (because a primary key does not allow duplicates).

  • COUNT(DISTINCT possibly_null_or_dup) counts the number of distinct non-null values in the column possibly_null_or_dup.

  • COUNT(DISTINCT possibly_duplicated) counts the number of distinct (necessarily non-null) values in the column possibly_duplicated when that has the NOT NULL clause on it.

Normally, I write COUNT(*); it is the original recommended notation for SQL. Similarly, with the EXISTS clause, I normally write WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM ...) because that was the original recommend notation. There should be no benefit to the alternatives; the optimizer should see through the more obscure notations.

How to list branches that contain a given commit?

You may run:

git log <SHA1>..HEAD --ancestry-path --merges

From comment of last commit in the output you may find original branch name

Example:

       c---e---g--- feature
      /         \
-a---b---d---f---h---j--- master

git log e..master --ancestry-path --merges

commit h
Merge: g f
Author: Eugen Konkov <>
Date:   Sat Oct 1 00:54:18 2016 +0300

Oracle SQL update based on subquery between two tables

There are two ways to do what you are trying

One is a Multi-column Correlated Update

UPDATE PRODUCTION a
SET (name, count) = (
  SELECT name, count
  FROM STAGING b
  WHERE a.ID = b.ID);

DEMO

You can use merge

MERGE INTO PRODUCTION a
USING ( select id, name, count 
          from STAGING ) b
ON ( a.id = b.id )
WHEN MATCHED THEN 
UPDATE SET  a.name = b.name,
            a.count = b.count

Redirecting a request using servlets and the "setHeader" method not working

As you can see, the response is still HTTP/1.1 200 OK. To indicate a redirect, you need to send back a 302 status code:

Correct redirect URI for Google API and OAuth 2.0

There's no problem with using a localhost url for Dev work - obviously it needs to be changed when it comes to production.

You need to go here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2 and then follow the link for the API Console - link's in the Basic Steps section. When you've filled out the new application form you'll be asked to provide a redirect Url. Put in the page you want to go to once access has been granted.

When forming the Google oAuth Url - you need to include the redirect url - it has to be an exact match or you'll have problems. It also needs to be UrlEncoded.

how do I query sql for a latest record date for each user

Select * from table1 where lastest_date=(select Max(latest_date) from table1 where user=yourUserName)

Inner Query will return the latest date for the current user, Outer query will pull all the data according to the inner query result.

Make the image go behind the text and keep it in center using CSS

Try this code:

body {z-index:0}
img.center {z-index:-1; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto}

Setting the left & right margins to auto should center your image.

Check whether a string matches a regex in JS

You can use match() as well:

if (str.match(/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/)) {
    alert("match!");
}

But test() seems to be faster as you can read here.

Important difference between match() and test():

match() works only with strings, but test() works also with integers.

12345.match(/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/); // ERROR
/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/.test(12345);  // true
/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/.test(null);   // false

// Better watch out for undefined values
/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/.test(undefined); // true

How can I discover the "path" of an embedded resource?

The name of the resource is the name space plus the "pseudo" name space of the path to the file. The "pseudo" name space is made by the sub folder structure using \ (backslashes) instead of . (dots).

public static Stream GetResourceFileStream(String nameSpace, String filePath)
{
    String pseduoName = filePath.Replace('\\', '.');
    Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
    return assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(nameSpace + "." + pseduoName);
}

The following call:

GetResourceFileStream("my.namespace", "resources\\xml\\my.xml")

will return the stream of my.xml located in the folder-structure resources\xml in the name space: my.namespace.

SQL Server 2012 Install or add Full-text search

You can add full text to an existing instance by changing the SQL Server program in Programs and Features. Follow the steps below. You might need the original disk or ISO for the installation to complete. (Per HotN's comment: If you have SQL Server Express, make sure it is SQL Server Express With Advanced Services.)

Directions:

  1. Open the Programs and Features control panel.
  2. Select Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and click Change.
  3. When prompted to Add/Repair/Remove, select Add.
  4. Advance through the wizard until the Feature Selection screen. Then select Full-Text Search.

Step 1 Step 2

enter image description here

  1. On the Installation Type screen, select the appropriate SQL Server instance.

  2. Advance through the rest of the wizard.

What does the restrict keyword mean in C++?

In his paper, Memory Optimization, Christer Ericson says that while restrict is not part of the C++ standard yet, that it is supported by many compilers and he recommends it's usage when available:

restrict keyword

! New to 1999 ANSI/ISO C standard

! Not in C++ standard yet, but supported by many C++ compilers

! A hint only, so may do nothing and still be conforming

A restrict-qualified pointer (or reference)...

! ...is basically a promise to the compiler that for the scope of the pointer, the target of the pointer will only be accessed through that pointer (and pointers copied from it).

In C++ compilers that support it it should probably behave the same as in C.

See this SO post for details: Realistic usage of the C99 ‘restrict’ keyword?

Take half an hour to skim through Ericson's paper, it's interesting and worth the time.

Edit

I also found that IBM's AIX C/C++ compiler supports the __restrict__ keyword.

g++ also seems to support this as the following program compiles cleanly on g++:

#include <stdio.h>

int foo(int * __restrict__ a, int * __restrict__ b) {
    return *a + *b;
}

int main(void) {
    int a = 1, b = 1, c;

    c = foo(&a, &b);

    printf("c == %d\n", c);

    return 0;
}

I also found a nice article on the use of restrict:

Demystifying The Restrict Keyword

Edit2

I ran across an article which specifically discusses the use of restrict in C++ programs:

Load-hit-stores and the __restrict keyword

Also, Microsoft Visual C++ also supports the __restrict keyword.

How to change the style of a DatePicker in android?

As AlertDialog.THEME attributes are deprecated, while creating DatePickerDialog you should pass one of these parameters for int themeResId

  • android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Dialog_Alert
  • android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Light_Dialog_Alert
  • android.R.style.Theme_Material_Light_Dialog_Alert
  • android.R.style.Theme_Material_Dialog_Alert

How can I append a query parameter to an existing URL?

There are plenty of libraries that can help you with URI building (don't reinvent the wheel). Here are three to get you started:


Java EE 7

import javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder;
...
return UriBuilder.fromUri(url).queryParam(key, value).build();

org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.2

import org.apache.http.client.utils.URIBuilder;
...
return new URIBuilder(url).addParameter(key, value).build();

org.springframework:spring-web:4.2.5.RELEASE

import org.springframework.web.util.UriComponentsBuilder;
...
return UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url).queryParam(key, value).build().toUri();

Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAidl': aidl is missing

I tried to uninstall/install and it did not work. I am running OSX 10.10.3 with Android Studio 1.2.1.1 on JDK 1.8.0_45-b14 and the solution I found to work is similar to Jorge Casariego's recommendation. Basically, out of the box you get a build error for a missing 'aidl' module so simply changing the Build Tools Version to not be version 23.0.0 rc1 will solve your problem. It appears to have a bug.

UPDATE After commenting on an Android issue on their tracker (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175080) a project member from the Android Tools group commented that to use the Build Tools Version 23.0.0 rc1 you need to be using Android Gradle Plugin 1.3.0-beta1 (Android Studio comes configured with 1.2.3). He also noted (read the issue comments) that the IDE should have given an notification that you need to do this to make it work. For me I have not seen a notification and I've requested clarification from that project member. Nonetheless his guidance solved the issue perfectly so read on.

Solution: Open your build.gradle for your Project (not Module). Find the line classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:xxx under dependencies where xxx is the Gradle Plugin version and make the update. Save and Rebuild your project. Here is the Android Gradle docs for managing your Gradle versions: https://developer.android.com/tools/revisions/gradle-plugin.html

Get all dates between two dates in SQL Server

This can be considered as bit tricky way as in my situation, I can't use a CTE table, so decided to join with sys.all_objects and then created row numbers and added that to start date till it reached the end date.

See the code below where I generated all dates in Jul 2018. Replace hard coded dates with your own variables (tested in SQL Server 2016):

select top (datediff(dd, '2018-06-30', '2018-07-31')) ROW_NUMBER() 
over(order by a.name) as SiNo, 
Dateadd(dd, ROW_NUMBER() over(order by a.name) , '2018-06-30') as Dt from sys.all_objects a

Automatic prune with Git fetch or pull

If you want to always prune when you fetch, I can suggest to use Aliases.

Just type git config -e to open your editor and change the configuration for a specific project and add a section like

[alias]
pfetch = fetch --prune   

the when you fetch with git pfetch the prune will be done automatically.
