Pandas : compute mean or std (standard deviation) over entire dataframe

You could convert the dataframe to be a single column with stack (this changes the shape from 5x3 to 15x1) and then take the standard deviation:

df.stack().std()         # pandas default degrees of freedom is one

Alternatively, you can use values to convert from a pandas dataframe to a numpy array before taking the standard deviation:

df.values.std(ddof=1)    # numpy default degrees of freedom is zero

Unlike pandas, numpy will give the standard deviation of the entire array by default, so there is no need to reshape before taking the standard deviation.

A couple of additional notes:

  • The numpy approach here is a bit faster than the pandas one, which is generally true when you have the option to accomplish the same thing with either numpy or pandas. The speed difference will depend on the size of your data, but numpy was roughly 10x faster when I tested a few different sized dataframes on my laptop (numpy version 1.15.4 and pandas version 0.23.4).

  • The numpy and pandas approaches here will not give exactly the same answers, but will be extremely close (identical at several digits of precision). The discrepancy is due to slight differences in implementation behind the scenes that affect how the floating point values get rounded.

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

I had the same thing on my Windows 10 installation.

Anaconda3 would not open Anaconda Navigator before I copied libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll from Anaconda3\Library\bin to \Anaconda3\DLL.

Once I did that pip install in the base environment worked fine but not in another environment I created. I had to do the same as above in the new environment.

That is, copy libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll from \<env folder>\Library\bin to \<env folder>\DLL then it worked fine.

How do I use arrays in C++?

Programmers often confuse multidimensional arrays with arrays of pointers.

Multidimensional arrays

Most programmers are familiar with named multidimensional arrays, but many are unaware of the fact that multidimensional array can also be created anonymously. Multidimensional arrays are often referred to as "arrays of arrays" or "true multidimensional arrays".

Named multidimensional arrays

When using named multidimensional arrays, all dimensions must be known at compile time:

int H = read_int();
int W = read_int();

int connect_four[6][7];   // okay

int connect_four[H][7];   // ISO C++ forbids variable length array
int connect_four[6][W];   // ISO C++ forbids variable length array
int connect_four[H][W];   // ISO C++ forbids variable length array

This is how a named multidimensional array looks like in memory:

              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
connect_four: |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
              |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
              |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
              |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
              |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
              |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Note that 2D grids such as the above are merely helpful visualizations. From the point of view of C++, memory is a "flat" sequence of bytes. The elements of a multidimensional array are stored in row-major order. That is, connect_four[0][6] and connect_four[1][0] are neighbors in memory. In fact, connect_four[0][7] and connect_four[1][0] denote the same element! This means that you can take multi-dimensional arrays and treat them as large, one-dimensional arrays:

int* p = &connect_four[0][0];
int* q = p + 42;
some_int_sequence_algorithm(p, q);

Anonymous multidimensional arrays

With anonymous multidimensional arrays, all dimensions except the first must be known at compile time:

int (*p)[7] = new int[6][7];   // okay
int (*p)[7] = new int[H][7];   // okay

int (*p)[W] = new int[6][W];   // ISO C++ forbids variable length array
int (*p)[W] = new int[H][W];   // ISO C++ forbids variable length array

This is how an anonymous multidimensional array looks like in memory:

              +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        +---> |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        |     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        |     |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        |     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        |     |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        |     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        |     |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        |     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        |     |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        |     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        |     |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        |     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
        |
      +-|-+
   p: | | |
      +---+

Note that the array itself is still allocated as a single block in memory.

Arrays of pointers

You can overcome the restriction of fixed width by introducing another level of indirection.

Named arrays of pointers

Here is a named array of five pointers which are initialized with anonymous arrays of different lengths:

int* triangle[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
    triangle[i] = new int[5 - i];
}

// ...

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
    delete[] triangle[i];
}

And here is how it looks like in memory:

          +---+---+---+---+---+
          |   |   |   |   |   |
          +---+---+---+---+---+
            ^
            | +---+---+---+---+
            | |   |   |   |   |
            | +---+---+---+---+
            |   ^
            |   | +---+---+---+
            |   | |   |   |   |
            |   | +---+---+---+
            |   |   ^
            |   |   | +---+---+
            |   |   | |   |   |
            |   |   | +---+---+
            |   |   |   ^
            |   |   |   | +---+
            |   |   |   | |   |
            |   |   |   | +---+
            |   |   |   |   ^
            |   |   |   |   |
            |   |   |   |   |
          +-|-+-|-+-|-+-|-+-|-+
triangle: | | | | | | | | | | |
          +---+---+---+---+---+

Since each line is allocated individually now, viewing 2D arrays as 1D arrays does not work anymore.

Anonymous arrays of pointers

Here is an anonymous array of 5 (or any other number of) pointers which are initialized with anonymous arrays of different lengths:

int n = calculate_five();   // or any other number
int** p = new int*[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
    p[i] = new int[n - i];
}

// ...

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
    delete[] p[i];
}
delete[] p;   // note the extra delete[] !

And here is how it looks like in memory:

          +---+---+---+---+---+
          |   |   |   |   |   |
          +---+---+---+---+---+
            ^
            | +---+---+---+---+
            | |   |   |   |   |
            | +---+---+---+---+
            |   ^
            |   | +---+---+---+
            |   | |   |   |   |
            |   | +---+---+---+
            |   |   ^
            |   |   | +---+---+
            |   |   | |   |   |
            |   |   | +---+---+
            |   |   |   ^
            |   |   |   | +---+
            |   |   |   | |   |
            |   |   |   | +---+
            |   |   |   |   ^
            |   |   |   |   |
            |   |   |   |   |
          +-|-+-|-+-|-+-|-+-|-+
          | | | | | | | | | | |
          +---+---+---+---+---+
            ^
            |
            |
          +-|-+
       p: | | |
          +---+

Conversions

Array-to-pointer decay naturally extends to arrays of arrays and arrays of pointers:

int array_of_arrays[6][7];
int (*pointer_to_array)[7] = array_of_arrays;

int* array_of_pointers[6];
int** pointer_to_pointer = array_of_pointers;

However, there is no implicit conversion from T[h][w] to T**. If such an implicit conversion did exist, the result would be a pointer to the first element of an array of h pointers to T (each pointing to the first element of a line in the original 2D array), but that pointer array does not exist anywhere in memory yet. If you want such a conversion, you must create and fill the required pointer array manually:

int connect_four[6][7];

int** p = new int*[6];
for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
{
    p[i] = connect_four[i];
}

// ...

delete[] p;

Note that this generates a view of the original multidimensional array. If you need a copy instead, you must create extra arrays and copy the data yourself:

int connect_four[6][7];

int** p = new int*[6];
for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
{
    p[i] = new int[7];
    std::copy(connect_four[i], connect_four[i + 1], p[i]);
}

// ...

for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
{
    delete[] p[i];
}
delete[] p;

Convert string with commas to array

use the built-in map function with an anonymous function, like so:

string.split(',').map(function(n) {return Number(n);});

[edit] here's how you would use it

var string = "0,1";
var array = string.split(',').map(function(n) {
    return Number(n);
});
alert( array[0] );

Vertically align text within input field of fixed-height without display: table or padding?

After much searching and frustration a combo of setting height, line height and no padding worked for me when using a fixed height (24px) background image for a text input field.

.form-text {
    color: white;
    outline: none;
    background-image: url(input_text.png);
    border-width: 0px;
    padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    width: 274px;
    height: 24px;
    line-height: 24px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

What's the difference between <b> and <strong>, <i> and <em>?

<b> and <i> are explicit - they specify bold and italic respectively.

<strong> and <em> are semantic - they specify that the enclosed text should be "strong" or "emphasised" in some way, usually bold and italic, but allow for the actual styling to be controlled via CSS. Hence these are preferred in modern web pages.

Mongoose and multiple database in single node.js project

According to the fine manual, createConnection() can be used to connect to multiple databases.

However, you need to create separate models for each connection/database:

var conn      = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost/testA');
var conn2     = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost/testB');

// stored in 'testA' database
var ModelA    = conn.model('Model', new mongoose.Schema({
  title : { type : String, default : 'model in testA database' }
}));

// stored in 'testB' database
var ModelB    = conn2.model('Model', new mongoose.Schema({
  title : { type : String, default : 'model in testB database' }
}));

I'm pretty sure that you can share the schema between them, but you have to check to make sure.

$("#form1").validate is not a function

I had this issue, jquery URL was valid, everything looked good and validation still worked. After a hard refresh CTL+F5 the error went away in Chrome.

What's the simplest way to list conflicted files in Git?

Here's what I use to a list modified files suitable for command line substitution in bash

git diff --numstat -b -w | grep ^[1-9] | cut -f 3

To edit the list use $(cmd) substitution.

vi $(git diff --numstat -b -w | grep ^[1-9] | cut -f 3)

Doesn't work if the file names have spaces. I tried to use sed to escape or quote the spaces and the output list looked right, but the $() substitution still did not behave as desired.

How can I convert IPV6 address to IPV4 address?

While there are IPv6 equivalents for the IPv4 address range, you can't convert all IPv6 addresses to IPv4 - there are more IPv6 addresses than there are IPv4 addresses.

The only sane way around this issue is to update your application to be able to understand and store IPv6 addresses.

Is it possible to assign a base class object to a derived class reference with an explicit typecast?

Expanding on @ybo's answer - it isn't possible because the instance you have of the base class isn't actually an instance of the derived class. It only knows about the members of the base class, and doesn't know anything about those of the derived class.

The reason that you can cast an instance of the derived class to an instance of the base class is because the derived class actually already is an instance of the base class, since it has those members already. The opposite cannot be said.

Drawing circles with System.Drawing

PictureBox circle = new PictureBox();
circle.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(circle_Paint);        

void circle_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 0, 0, 30, 30);
        }

HTML form readonly SELECT tag/input

This is the best solution I have found:

$("#YourSELECTIdHere option:not(:selected)").prop("disabled", true);

The code above disables all other options not selected while keeping the selected option enabled. Doing so the selected option will make it into the post-back data.

Showing an image from console in Python

Since you are probably running Windows (from looking at your tags), this would be the easiest way to open and show an image file from the console without installing extra stuff like PIL.

import os
os.system('start pic.png')

Mongodb find() query : return only unique values (no duplicates)

I think you can use db.collection.distinct(fields,query)

You will be able to get the distinct values in your case for NetworkID.

It should be something like this :

Db.collection.distinct('NetworkID')

Running multiple commands with xargs

One thing I do is to add to .bashrc/.profile this function:

function each() {
    while read line; do
        for f in "$@"; do
            $f $line
        done
    done
}

then you can do things like

... | each command1 command2 "command3 has spaces"

which is less verbose than xargs or -exec. You could also modify the function to insert the value from the read at an arbitrary location in the commands to each, if you needed that behavior also.

how to set the background color of the whole page in css

The body's size is dynamic, it is only as large as the size of its contents. In the css file you could use: * {background-color: black} // All elements now have a black background.

or

html {background-color: black} // The page now have a black background, all elements remain the same.

How to save a PNG image server-side, from a base64 data string

This function should work. this has the photo parameter that holds the base64 string and also path to an existing image directory should you already have an existing image you want to unlink while you save the new one.

 public function convertBase64ToImage($photo = null, $path = null) {
    if (!empty($photo)) {
        $photo = str_replace('data:image/png;base64,', '', $photo);
        $photo = str_replace(' ', '+', $photo);
        $photo = str_replace('data:image/jpeg;base64,', '', $photo);
        $photo = str_replace('data:image/gif;base64,', '', $photo);
        $entry = base64_decode($photo);
        $image = imagecreatefromstring($entry);

        $fileName = time() . ".jpeg";
        $directory = "uploads/customer/" . $fileName;

        header('Content-type:image/jpeg');

        if (!empty($path)) {
            if (file_exists($path)) {
                unlink($path);
            }
        }

        $saveImage = imagejpeg($image, $directory);

        imagedestroy($image);

        if ($saveImage) {
            return $fileName;
        } else {
            return false; // image not saved
        }
    }
}

Getting only hour/minute of datetime

Just use Hour and Minute properties

var date = DateTime.Now;
date.Hour;
date.Minute;

Or you can easily zero the seconds using

var zeroSecondDate = date.AddSeconds(-date.Second);

How can we stop a running java process through Windows cmd?

(on Windows OS without Service) Spring Boot start/stop sample.

run.bat

@ECHO OFF
IF "%1"=="start" (
    ECHO start your app name
    start "yourappname" java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=prod yourappname-0.0.1.jar
) ELSE IF "%1"=="stop" (
    ECHO stop your app name
    TASKKILL /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq yourappname"
) ELSE (
    ECHO please, use "run.bat start" or "run.bat stop"
)
pause

start.bat

@ECHO OFF
call run.bat start

stop.bat:

@ECHO OFF
call run.bat stop

Check if value is in select list with JQuery

Why not use a filter?

var thevalue = 'foo';    
var exists = $('#select-box option').filter(function(){ return $(this).val() == thevalue; }).length;

Loose comparisons work because exists > 0 is true, exists == 0 is false, so you can just use

if(exists){
    // it is in the dropdown
}

Or combine it:

if($('#select-box option').filter(function(){ return $(this).val() == thevalue; }).length){
    // found
}

Or where each select dropdown has the select-boxes class this will give you a jquery object of the select(s) which contain the value:

var matched = $('.select-boxes option').filter(function(){ return $(this).val() == thevalue; }).parent();

Highlight the difference between two strings in PHP

There is also a PECL extension for xdiff:

In particular:

Example from PHP Manual:

<?php
$old_article = file_get_contents('./old_article.txt');
$new_article = $_POST['article'];

$diff = xdiff_string_diff($old_article, $new_article, 1);
if (is_string($diff)) {
    echo "Differences between two articles:\n";
    echo $diff;
}

Killing a process using Java

Try it:

String command = "killall <your_proccess>";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
p.destroy();

if the process is still alive, add:

p.destroyForcibly();

Interface vs Abstract Class (general OO)

I think the answer they are looking for is the fundamental or OPPS philosophical difference.

The abstract class inheritance is used when the derived class shares the core properties and behaviour of the abstract class. The kind of behaviour that actually defines the class.

On the other hand interface inheritance is used when the classes share peripheral behaviour, ones which do not necessarily define the derived class.

For eg. A Car and a Truck share a lot of core properties and behaviour of an Automobile abstract class, but they also share some peripheral behaviour like Generate exhaust which even non automobile classes like Drillers or PowerGenerators share and doesn't necessarily defines a Car or a Truck, so Car, Truck, Driller and PowerGenerator can all share the same interface IExhaust.

How to pass a variable from Activity to Fragment, and pass it back?

Use the library EventBus to pass event that could contain your variable back and forth. It's a good solution because it keeps your activities and fragments loosely coupled

Hiding a sheet in Excel 2007 (with a password) OR hide VBA code in Excel

Here is what you do in Excel 2003:

  1. In your sheet of interest, go to Format -> Sheet -> Hide and hide your sheet.
  2. Go to Tools -> Protection -> Protect Workbook, make sure Structure is selected, and enter your password of choice.

Here is what you do in Excel 2007:

  1. In your sheet of interest, go to Home ribbon -> Format -> Hide & Unhide -> Hide Sheet and hide your sheet.
  2. Go to Review ribbon -> Protect Workbook, make sure Structure is selected, and enter your password of choice.

Once this is done, the sheet is hidden and cannot be unhidden without the password. Make sense?

How do I increase modal width in Angular UI Bootstrap?

I use a css class like so to target the modal-dialog class:

.app-modal-window .modal-dialog {
  width: 500px;
}

Then in the controller calling the modal window, set the windowClass:

    $scope.modalButtonClick = function () {
        var modalInstance = $modal.open({
            templateUrl: 'App/Views/modalView.html',
            controller: 'modalController',
            windowClass: 'app-modal-window'
        });
        modalInstance.result.then(
            //close
            function (result) {
                var a = result;
            },
            //dismiss
            function (result) {
                var a = result;
            });
    };

Check existence of input argument in a Bash shell script

I often use this snippet for simple scripts:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo -e "\nPlease call '$0 <argument>' to run this command!\n"
    exit 1
fi

Resolve build errors due to circular dependency amongst classes

The way to think about this is to "think like a compiler".

Imagine you are writing a compiler. And you see code like this.

// file: A.h
class A {
  B _b;
};

// file: B.h
class B {
  A _a;
};

// file main.cc
#include "A.h"
#include "B.h"
int main(...) {
  A a;
}

When you are compiling the .cc file (remember that the .cc and not the .h is the unit of compilation), you need to allocate space for object A. So, well, how much space then? Enough to store B! What's the size of B then? Enough to store A! Oops.

Clearly a circular reference that you must break.

You can break it by allowing the compiler to instead reserve as much space as it knows about upfront - pointers and references, for example, will always be 32 or 64 bits (depending on the architecture) and so if you replaced (either one) by a pointer or reference, things would be great. Let's say we replace in A:

// file: A.h
class A {
  // both these are fine, so are various const versions of the same.
  B& _b_ref;
  B* _b_ptr;
};

Now things are better. Somewhat. main() still says:

// file: main.cc
#include "A.h"  // <-- Houston, we have a problem

#include, for all extents and purposes (if you take the preprocessor out) just copies the file into the .cc. So really, the .cc looks like:

// file: partially_pre_processed_main.cc
class A {
  B& _b_ref;
  B* _b_ptr;
};
#include "B.h"
int main (...) {
  A a;
}

You can see why the compiler can't deal with this - it has no idea what B is - it has never even seen the symbol before.

So let's tell the compiler about B. This is known as a forward declaration, and is discussed further in this answer.

// main.cc
class B;
#include "A.h"
#include "B.h"
int main (...) {
  A a;
}

This works. It is not great. But at this point you should have an understanding of the circular reference problem and what we did to "fix" it, albeit the fix is bad.

The reason this fix is bad is because the next person to #include "A.h" will have to declare B before they can use it and will get a terrible #include error. So let's move the declaration into A.h itself.

// file: A.h
class B;
class A {
  B* _b; // or any of the other variants.
};

And in B.h, at this point, you can just #include "A.h" directly.

// file: B.h
#include "A.h"
class B {
  // note that this is cool because the compiler knows by this time
  // how much space A will need.
  A _a; 
}

HTH.

How to quickly test some javascript code?

If you want to edit some complex javascript I suggest you use JsFiddle. Alternatively, for smaller pieces of javascript you can just run it through your browser URL bar, here's an example:

javascript:alert("hello world");

And, as it was already suggested both Firebug and Chrome developer tools have Javascript console, in which you can type in your javascript to execute. So do Internet Explorer 8+, Opera, Safari and potentially other modern browsers.

What is the difference between "long", "long long", "long int", and "long long int" in C++?

This looks confusing because you are taking long as a datatype itself.

long is nothing but just the shorthand for long int when you are using it alone.

long is a modifier, you can use it with double also as long double.

long == long int.

Both of them take 4 bytes.

WPF: Setting the Width (and Height) as a Percentage Value

Typically, you'd use a built-in layout control appropriate for your scenario (e.g. use a grid as a parent if you want scaling relative to the parent). If you want to do it with an arbitrary parent element, you can create a ValueConverter do it, but it probably won't be quite as clean as you'd like. However, if you absolutely need it, you could do something like this:

public class PercentageConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, 
        Type targetType, 
        object parameter, 
        System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return System.Convert.ToDouble(value) * 
               System.Convert.ToDouble(parameter);
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, 
        Type targetType, 
        object parameter, 
        System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Which can be used like this, to get a child textbox 10% of the width of its parent canvas:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Window.Resources>
        <local:PercentageConverter x:Key="PercentageConverter"/>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Canvas x:Name="canvas">
        <TextBlock Text="Hello"
                   Background="Red" 
                   Width="{Binding 
                       Converter={StaticResource PercentageConverter}, 
                       ElementName=canvas, 
                       Path=ActualWidth,

Creating a new directory in C

Look at stat for checking if the directory exists,

And mkdir, to create a directory.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>

struct stat st = {0};

if (stat("/some/directory", &st) == -1) {
    mkdir("/some/directory", 0700);
}

You can see the manual of these functions with the man 2 stat and man 2 mkdir commands.

"A referral was returned from the server" exception when accessing AD from C#

A referral is sent by an AD server when it doesn't have the information requested itself, but know that another server have the info. It usually appears in trust environment where a DC can refer to a DC in trusted domain.

In your case you are only specifying a domain, relying on automatic lookup of what domain controller to use. I think that you should try to find out what domain controller is used for the query and look if that one really holds the requested information.

If you provide more information on your AD setup, including any trusts/subdomains, global catalogues and the DNS resource records for the domain controllers it will be easier to help you.

Difference between Destroy and Delete

When you invoke destroy or destroy_all on an ActiveRecord object, the ActiveRecord 'destruction' process is initiated, it analyzes the class you're deleting, it determines what it should do for dependencies, runs through validations, etc.

When you invoke delete or delete_all on an object, ActiveRecord merely tries to run the DELETE FROM tablename WHERE conditions query against the db, performing no other ActiveRecord-level tasks.

Can I write a CSS selector selecting elements NOT having a certain class or attribute?

The :not negation pseudo class

The negation CSS pseudo-class, :not(X), is a functional notation taking a simple selector X as an argument. It matches an element that is not represented by the argument. X must not contain another negation selector.

You can use :not to exclude any subset of matched elements, ordered as you would normal CSS selectors.


Simple example: excluding by class

div:not(.class)

Would select all div elements without the class .class

_x000D_
_x000D_
div:not(.class) {_x000D_
  color: red;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div>Make me red!</div>_x000D_
<div class="class">...but not me...</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Complex example: excluding by type / hierarchy

:not(div) > div

Would select all div elements which arent children of another div

_x000D_
_x000D_
div {_x000D_
  color: black_x000D_
}_x000D_
:not(div) > div {_x000D_
  color: red;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div>Make me red!</div>_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
  <div>...but not me...</div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Complex example: chaining pseudo selectors

With the notable exception of not being able to chain/nest :not selectors and pseudo elements, you can use in conjunction with other pseudo selectors.

_x000D_
_x000D_
div {_x000D_
  color: black_x000D_
}_x000D_
:not(:nth-child(2)){_x000D_
  color: red;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
  <div>Make me red!</div>_x000D_
  <div>...but not me...</div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Browser Support, etc.

:not is a CSS3 level selector, the main exception in terms of support is that it is IE9+

The spec also makes an interesting point:

the :not() pseudo allows useless selectors to be written. For instance :not(*|*), which represents no element at all, or foo:not(bar), which is equivalent to foo but with a higher specificity.

How to delete a cookie?

I had trouble deleting a cookie made via JavaScript and after I added the host it worked (scroll the code below to the right to see the location.host). After clearing the cookies on a domain try the following to see the results:

if (document.cookie.length==0)
{
 document.cookie = 'name=example; expires='+new Date((new Date()).valueOf()+1000*60*60*24*15)+'; path=/; domain='+location.host;

 if (document.cookie.length==0) {alert('Cookies disabled');}
 else
 {
  document.cookie = 'name=example; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT; path=/; domain='+location.host;

  if (document.cookie.length==0) {alert('Created AND deleted cookie successfully.');}
  else {alert('document.cookies.length = '+document.cookies.length);}
 }
}

Read Numeric Data from a Text File in C++

It can depend, especially on whether your file will have the same number of items on each row or not. If it will, then you probably want a 2D matrix class of some sort, usually something like this:

class array2D { 
    std::vector<double> data;
    size_t columns;
public:
    array2D(size_t x, size_t y) : columns(x), data(x*y) {}

    double &operator(size_t x, size_t y) {
       return data[y*columns+x];
    }
};

Note that as it's written, this assumes you know the size you'll need up-front. That can be avoided, but the code gets a little larger and more complex.

In any case, to read the numbers and maintain the original structure, you'd typically read a line at a time into a string, then use a stringstream to read numbers from the line. This lets you store the data from each line into a separate row in your array.

If you don't know the size ahead of time or (especially) if different rows might not all contain the same number of numbers:

11 12 13
23 34 56 78

You might want to use a std::vector<std::vector<double> > instead. This does impose some overhead, but if different rows may have different sizes, it's an easy way to do the job.

std::vector<std::vector<double> > numbers;

std::string temp;

while (std::getline(infile, temp)) {
    std::istringstream buffer(temp);
    std::vector<double> line((std::istream_iterator<double>(buffer)),
                             std::istream_iterator<double>());

    numbers.push_back(line);
}

...or, with a modern (C++11) compiler, you can use brackets for line's initialization:

    std::vector<double> line{std::istream_iterator<double>(buffer),
                             std::istream_iterator<double>()};

"Undefined reference to" template class constructor

This link explains where you're going wrong:

[35.12] Why can't I separate the definition of my templates class from its declaration and put it inside a .cpp file?

Place the definition of your constructors, destructors methods and whatnot in your header file, and that will correct the problem.

This offers another solution:

How can I avoid linker errors with my template functions?

However this requires you to anticipate how your template will be used and, as a general solution, is counter-intuitive. It does solve the corner case though where you develop a template to be used by some internal mechanism, and you want to police the manner in which it is used.

Why an abstract class implementing an interface can miss the declaration/implementation of one of the interface's methods?

Perfectly fine.
You can't instantiate abstract classes.. but abstract classes can be used to house common implementations for m1() and m3().
So if m2() implementation is different for each implementation but m1 and m3 are not. You could create different concrete IAnything implementations with just the different m2 implementation and derive from AbstractThing -- honoring the DRY principle. Validating if the interface is completely implemented for an abstract class is futile..

Update: Interestingly, I find that C# enforces this as a compile error. You are forced to copy the method signatures and prefix them with 'abstract public' in the abstract base class in this scenario.. (something new everyday:)

Sqlite: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is in GMT, not the timezone of the machine

In the (admitted rare) case that a local datatime is wanted (I, for example, store local time in one of my database since all I care is what time in the day is was and I don't keep track of where I was in term of time zones...), you can define the column as

"timestamp" TEXT DEFAULT (strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M','now', 'localtime'))

The %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M part is of course optional; it is just how I like my time to be stored. [Also, if my impression is correct, there is no "DATETIME" datatype in sqlite, so it does not really matter whether TEXT or DATETIME is used as data type in column declaration.]

Oracle - How to create a readonly user

A user in an Oracle database only has the privileges you grant. So you can create a read-only user by simply not granting any other privileges.

When you create a user

CREATE USER ro_user
 IDENTIFIED BY ro_user
 DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;

the user doesn't even have permission to log in to the database. You can grant that

GRANT CREATE SESSION to ro_user

and then you can go about granting whatever read privileges you want. For example, if you want RO_USER to be able to query SCHEMA_NAME.TABLE_NAME, you would do something like

GRANT SELECT ON schema_name.table_name TO ro_user

Generally, you're better off creating a role, however, and granting the object privileges to the role so that you can then grant the role to different users. Something like

Create the role

CREATE ROLE ro_role;

Grant the role SELECT access on every table in a particular schema

BEGIN
  FOR x IN (SELECT * FROM dba_tables WHERE owner='SCHEMA_NAME')
  LOOP
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON schema_name.' || x.table_name || 
                                  ' TO ro_role';
  END LOOP;
END;

And then grant the role to the user

GRANT ro_role TO ro_user;

There are several ways of exploiting this class. You can call either syncGetSystemCpuUsage or syncGetProcessCpuUsage but each is blocking the calling thread. Since a common issue is to monitor the total CPU usage and the CPU use of the current process at the same time, I have designed a class computing both of them. That class contains a dedicated thread. The output management is implementation specific and you need to code your own.

The class can be customized by a few means. The constant CPU_WINDOW defines the depth of a read, i.e. the number of milliseconds between readings and computing of the corresponding CPU load. CPU_REFRESH_RATE is the time between each CPU load measurement. Do not set CPU_REFRESH_RATE to 0 because it will suspend the thread after the first read.

Specifying java version in maven - differences between properties and compiler plugin

None of the solutions above worked for me straight away. So I followed these steps:

  1. Add in pom.xml:
<properties>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
</properties>
  1. Go to Project Properties > Java Build Path, then remove the JRE System Library pointing to JRE1.5.

  2. Force updated the project.

ISO time (ISO 8601) in Python

Adding a small variation to estani's excellent answer

Local to ISO 8601 with TimeZone and no microsecond info (Python 3):

import datetime, time

utc_offset_sec = time.altzone if time.localtime().tm_isdst else time.timezone
utc_offset = datetime.timedelta(seconds=-utc_offset_sec)
datetime.datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(offset=utc_offset)).isoformat()

Sample Output:

'2019-11-06T12:12:06-08:00'

Tested that this output can be parsed by both Javascript Date and C# DateTime/DateTimeOffset

Binding a Button's visibility to a bool value in ViewModel

Assuming AdvancedFormat is a bool, you need to declare and use a BooleanToVisibilityConverter:

<!-- In your resources section of the XAML -->
<BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BoolToVis" />

<!-- In your Button declaration -->
<Button
 Height="50" Width="50"
 Style="{StaticResource MyButtonStyle}"
 Command="{Binding SmallDisp}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" 
Cursor="Hand" Visibility="{Binding Path=AdvancedFormat, Converter={StaticResource BoolToVis}}"/>

Note the added Converter={StaticResource BoolToVis}.

This is a very common pattern when working with MVVM. In theory you could do the conversion yourself on the ViewModel property (i.e. just make the property itself of type Visibility) though I would prefer not to do that, since now you are messing with the separation of concerns. An item's visbility should really be up to the View.

How to make image hover in css?

Make on class with this. And make 2 different images with the self width and height. Works in ie9.

See this link.

http://kyleschaeffer.com/development/pure-css-image-hover/

Also you can 2 differents images make and place in the self class name with in the hover the another images.

See example.

 .myButtonLink {
              margin-top: -5px;

    display: block;
    width: 45px;
    height: 39px;
    background: url('images/home1.png') bottom;
    text-indent: -99999px;
              margin-left:-17px;

              margin-right:-17px;

              margin-bottom: -5px;

              border-radius: 3px;
              -webkit-border-radius: 3px;           
}

.myButtonLink:hover {
    margin-top:  -5px;

    display: block;
    width: 45px;
    height: 39px;
              background: url('images/home2.png') bottom;

              -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
}

Using Page_Load and Page_PreRender in ASP.Net

It depends on your requirements.

Page Load : Perform actions common to all requests, such as setting up a database query. At this point, server controls in the tree are created and initialized, the state is restored, and form controls reflect client-side data. See Handling Inherited Events.

Prerender :Perform any updates before the output is rendered. Any changes made to the state of the control in the prerender phase can be saved, while changes made in the rendering phase are lost. See Handling Inherited Events.

Get the week start date and week end date from week number

Here is another version. If your Scenario requires Saturday to be 1st day of Week and Friday to be last day of Week, the below code will handle that:

  DECLARE @myDate DATE = GETDATE()
  SELECT    @myDate,
    DATENAME(WEEKDAY,@myDate),
    DATEADD(DD,-(CHOOSE(DATEPART(dw, @myDate), 1,2,3,4,5,6,0)),@myDate) AS WeekStartDate,
    DATEADD(DD,7-CHOOSE(DATEPART(dw, @myDate), 2,3,4,5,6,7,1),@myDate) AS WeekEndDate

Adjust list style image position?

I normally hide the list-style-type and use a background image, which is moveable

li 
{
    background: url(/Images/arrow_icon.gif) no-repeat 7px 7px transparent;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0px 0px 1px 24px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

The "7px 7px" is what aligns the background image inside the element and is also relative to the padding.

Automatically scroll down chat div

Dont have to mix jquery and javascript. Use like this,

function getMessages(letter) {
    var message=$('#messages');
    $.get('msg_show.php', function(data) {
        message.html(data);
        message.scrollTop(message[0].scrollHeight);
    });
}

setInterval(function() {
    getMessages("letter");
}, 100)

Put the scrollTop() inside get() method.

Also you missed a parameter in the getMessage method call..

How to return XML in ASP.NET?

I've found the proper way to return XML to a client in ASP.NET. I think if I point out the wrong ways, it will make the right way more understandable.

Incorrect:

Response.Write(doc.ToString());

Incorrect:

Response.Write(doc.InnerXml);

Incorrect:

Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
doc.Save(Response.OutputStream);

Correct:

Response.ContentType = "text/xml"; //Must be 'text/xml'
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; //We'd like UTF-8
doc.Save(Response.Output); //Save to the text-writer
      //using the encoding of the text-writer
      //(which comes from response.contentEncoding)

Use a TextWriter

Do not use Response.OutputStream

Do use Response.Output

Both are streams, but Output is a TextWriter. When an XmlDocument saves itself to a TextWriter, it will use the encoding specified by that TextWriter. The XmlDocument will automatically change the xml declaration node to match the encoding used by the TextWriter. e.g. in this case the XML declaration node:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

would become

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This is because the TextWriter has been set to UTF-8. (More on this in a moment). As the TextWriter is fed character data, it will encode it with the byte sequences appropriate for its set encoding.

Incorrect:

doc.Save(Response.OutputStream);

In this example the document is incorrectly saved to the OutputStream, which performs no encoding change, and may not match the response's content-encoding or the XML declaration node's specified encoding.

Correct

doc.Save(Response.Output);

The XML document is correctly saved to a TextWriter object, ensuring the encoding is properly handled.


Set Encoding

The encoding given to the client in the header:

Response.ContentEncoding = ...

must match the XML document's encoding:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="..."?>

must match the actual encoding present in the byte sequences sent to the client. To make all three of these things agree, set the single line:

Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

When the encoding is set on the Response object, it sets the same encoding on the TextWriter. The encoding set of the TextWriter causes the XmlDocument to change the xml declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

when the document is Saved:

doc.Save(someTextWriter);

Save to the response Output

You do not want to save the document to a binary stream, or write a string:

Incorrect:

doc.Save(Response.OutputStream);

Here the XML is incorrectly saved to a binary stream. The final byte encoding sequence won't match the XML declaration, or the web-server response's content-encoding.

Incorrect:

Response.Write(doc.ToString());
Response.Write(doc.InnerXml);

Here the XML is incorrectly converted to a string, which does not have an encoding. The XML declaration node is not updated to reflect the encoding of the response, and the response is not properly encoded to match the response's encoding. Also, storing the XML in an intermediate string wastes memory.

You don't want to save the XML to a string, or stuff the XML into a string and response.Write a string, because that:

- doesn't follow the encoding specified
- doesn't set the XML declaration node to match
- wastes memory

Do use doc.Save(Response.Output);

Do not use doc.Save(Response.OutputStream);

Do not use Response.Write(doc.ToString());

Do not use 'Response.Write(doc.InnerXml);`


Set the content-type

The Response's ContentType must be set to "text/xml". If not, the client will not know you are sending it XML.

Final Answer

Response.Clear(); //Optional: if we've sent anything before
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"; //Must be 'text/xml'
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; //We'd like UTF-8
doc.Save(Response.Output); //Save to the text-writer
    //using the encoding of the text-writer
    //(which comes from response.contentEncoding)
Response.End(); //Optional: will end processing

      //context.Response.ContentEncoding = new System.Text.Encoding(1252); //Or Windows-1252 (a version of ISO8859-1, but with 18 useful characters where they were empty spaces)

      //Tell the client don't cache it (it's too volatile)

Spring not autowiring in unit tests with JUnit

You need to use the Spring JUnit runner in order to wire in Spring beans from your context. The code below assumes that you have a application context called testContest.xml available on the test classpath.

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.startsWith;

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath*:**/testContext.xml"})
@Transactional
public class someDaoTest {

    @Autowired
    protected SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    @Test
    public void testDBSourceIsCorrect() throws SQLException {
        String databaseProductName = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession()
                .connection()
                .getMetaData()
                .getDatabaseProductName();
        assertThat("Test container is pointing at the wrong DB.", databaseProductName, startsWith("HSQL"));
    }
}

Note: This works with Spring 2.5.2 and Hibernate 3.6.5

Calling a class function inside of __init__

How about:

class MyClass(object):
    def __init__(self, filename):
        self.filename = filename 
        self.stats = parse_file(filename)

def parse_file(filename):
    #do some parsing
    return results_from_parse

By the way, if you have variables named stat1, stat2, etc., the situation is begging for a tuple: stats = (...).

So let parse_file return a tuple, and store the tuple in self.stats.

Then, for example, you can access what used to be called stat3 with self.stats[2].

document.getElementById().value doesn't set the value

The only case I could imagine is, that you run this on a webkit browser like Chrome or Safari and your return value in responseText, contains a string value.

In that constelation, the value cannot be displayed (it would get blank)

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/BmhNL/2/


My point here is, that I expect a wrong/double encoded string value. Webkit browsers are more strict on the type = number. If there is "only" a white-space issue, you can try to implicitly call the Number() constructor, like

document.getElementById("points").value = +request.responseText;

Early exit from function?

if you are looking for a script to avoid submitting form when some errors found, this method should work

function verifyData(){
     if (document.MyForm.FormInput.value.length == "") {
          alert("Write something!");
     }
     else {
          document.MyForm.submit();
     }
}

change the Submit Button type to "button"

<input value="Save" type="button" onClick="verifyData()">

hope this help.

Return True, False and None in Python

It's impossible to say without seeing your actual code. Likely the reason is a code path through your function that doesn't execute a return statement. When the code goes down that path, the function ends with no value returned, and so returns None.

Updated: It sounds like your code looks like this:

def b(self, p, data): 
    current = p 
    if current.data == data: 
        return True 
    elif current.data == 1:
        return False 
    else: 
        self.b(current.next, data)

That else clause is your None path. You need to return the value that the recursive call returns:

    else:
        return self.b(current.next, data)

BTW: using recursion for iterative programs like this is not a good idea in Python. Use iteration instead. Also, you have no clear termination condition.

Simple way to transpose columns and rows in SQL?

I'd like to point out few more solutions to transposing columns and rows in SQL.

The first one is - using CURSOR. Although the general consensus in the professional community is to stay away from SQL Server Cursors, there are still instances whereby the use of cursors is recommended. Anyway, Cursors present us with another option to transpose rows into columns.

  • Vertical expansion

    Similar to the PIVOT, the cursor has the dynamic capability to append more rows as your dataset expands to include more policy numbers.

  • Horizontal expansion

    Unlike the PIVOT, the cursor excels in this area as it is able to expand to include newly added document, without altering the script.

  • Performance breakdown

    The major limitation of transposing rows into columns using CURSOR is a disadvantage that is linked to using cursors in general – they come at significant performance cost. This is because the Cursor generates a separate query for each FETCH NEXT operation.

Another solution of transposing rows into columns is by using XML.

The XML solution to transposing rows into columns is basically an optimal version of the PIVOT in that it addresses the dynamic column limitation.

The XML version of the script addresses this limitation by using a combination of XML Path, dynamic T-SQL and some built-in functions (i.e. STUFF, QUOTENAME).

  • Vertical expansion

    Similar to the PIVOT and the Cursor, newly added policies are able to be retrieved in the XML version of the script without altering the original script.

  • Horizontal expansion

    Unlike the PIVOT, newly added documents can be displayed without altering the script.

  • Performance breakdown

    In terms of IO, the statistics of the XML version of the script is almost similar to the PIVOT – the only difference is that the XML has a second scan of dtTranspose table but this time from a logical read – data cache.

You can find some more about these solutions (including some actual T-SQL exmaples) in this article: https://www.sqlshack.com/multiple-options-to-transposing-rows-into-columns/

How to get the mouse position without events (without moving the mouse)?

You do not have to move the mouse to get the cursor's location. The location is also reported on events other than mousemove. Here's a click-event as an example:

document.body.addEventListener('click',function(e)
{
    console.log("cursor-location: " + e.clientX + ',' + e.clientY);
});

RFC 3066 gives the details of the allowed values (emphasis and links added):

All 2-letter subtags are interpreted as ISO 3166 alpha-2 country codes from [ISO 3166], or subsequently assigned by the ISO 3166 maintenance agency or governing standardization bodies, denoting the area to which this language variant relates.

I interpret that as meaning any valid (according to ISO 3166) 2-letter code is valid as a subtag. The RFC goes on to state:

Tags with second subtags of 3 to 8 letters may be registered with IANA, according to the rules in chapter 5 of this document.

By the way, that looks like a typo, since chapter 3 seems to relate to the the registration process, not chapter 5.

A quick search for the IANA registry reveals a very long list, of all the available language subtags. Here's one example from the list (which would be used as en-scouse):

Type: variant

Subtag: scouse

Description: Scouse

Added: 2006-09-18

Prefix: en

Comments: English Liverpudlian dialect known as 'Scouse'

There are all sorts of subtags available; a quick scroll has already revealed fr-1694acad (17th century French).


The usefulness of some of these (I would say the vast majority of these) tags, when it comes to documents designed for display in the browser, is limited. The W3C Internationalization specification simply states:

Browsers and other applications can use information about the language of content to deliver to users the most appropriate information, or to present information to users in the most appropriate way. The more content is tagged and tagged correctly, the more useful and pervasive such applications will become.

I'm struggling to find detailed information on how browsers behave when encountering different language tags, but they are most likely going to offer some benefit to those users who use a screen reader, which can use the tag to determine the language/dialect/accent in which to present the content.

Getting return value from stored procedure in C#

retval.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

ParameterDirection.ReturnValue should be used for the "return value" of the procedure, not output parameters. It gets the value returned by the SQL RETURN statement (with the parameter named @RETURN_VALUE).

Instead of RETURN @b you should SET @b = something

By the way, return value parameter is always int, not string.

How do you pass view parameters when navigating from an action in JSF2?

Without a nicer solution, what I found to work is simply building my query string in the bean return:

public String submit() {
    // Do something
    return "/page2.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&id=" + id;
}

Not the most flexible of solutions, but seems to work how I want it to.

Also using this approach to clean up the process of building the query string: http://www.warski.org/blog/?p=185

static constructors in C++? I need to initialize private static objects

When trying to compile and use class Elsewhere (from Earwicker's answer) I get:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "private: static class StaticStuff Elsewhere::staticStuff" (?staticStuff@Elsewhere@@0VStaticStuff@@A)

It seems is not possible to initialize static attributes of non-integer types without putting some code outside the class definition (CPP).

To make that compile you can use "a static method with a static local variable inside" instead. Something like this:

class Elsewhere
{
public:
    static StaticStuff& GetStaticStuff()
    {
        static StaticStuff staticStuff; // constructor runs once, single instance
        return staticStuff;
    }
};

And you may also pass arguments to the constructor or initialize it with specific values, it is very flexible, powerfull and easy to implement... the only thing is you have a static method containing a static variable, not a static attribute... syntaxis changes a bit, but still useful. Hope this is useful for someone,

Error Handler - Exit Sub vs. End Sub

Typically if you have database connections or other objects declared that, whether used safely or created prior to your exception, will need to be cleaned up (disposed of), then returning your error handling code back to the ProcExit entry point will allow you to do your garbage collection in both cases.

If you drop out of your procedure by falling to Exit Sub, you may risk having a yucky build-up of instantiated objects that are just sitting around in your program's memory.

How to delete directory content in Java?

How to identify which columns are not "NA" per row in a matrix?

Try:

which( !is.na(p), arr.ind=TRUE)

Which I think is just as informative and probably more useful than the output you specified, But if you really wanted the list version, then this could be used:

> apply(p, 1, function(x) which(!is.na(x)) )
[[1]]
[1] 2 3

[[2]]
[1] 4 7

[[3]]
integer(0)

[[4]]
[1] 5

[[5]]
integer(0)

Or even with smushing together with paste:

lapply(apply(p, 1, function(x) which(!is.na(x)) ) , paste, collapse=", ")

The output from which function the suggested method delivers the row and column of non-zero (TRUE) locations of logical tests:

> which( !is.na(p), arr.ind=TRUE)
     row col
[1,]   1   2
[2,]   1   3
[3,]   2   4
[4,]   4   5
[5,]   2   7

Without the arr.ind parameter set to non-default TRUE, you only get the "vector location" determined using the column major ordering the R has as its convention. R-matrices are just "folded vectors".

> which( !is.na(p) )
[1]  6 11 17 24 32

How do you detect the clearing of a "search" HTML5 input?

My solution is based on the onclick event, where I check the value of the input (make sure that it's not empty) on the exact time the event fires and then wait for 1 millisecond and check the value again; if it's empty then it means that the clear button have been clicked not just the input field.

Here's an example using a Vue function:

HTML

<input
  id="searchBar"
  class="form-input col-span-4"
  type="search"
  placeholder="Search..."
  @click="clearFilter($event)"
/>

JS

clearFilter: function ($event) {
  if (event.target.value !== "") {
    setTimeout(function () {
      if (document.getElementById("searchBar").value === "")
        console.log("Clear button is clicked!");
    }, 1);
  }
  console.log("Search bar is clicked but not the clear button.");
},

ORA-12514 TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

In my circumstances the error was due to the fact the listener did not have the db's service registered. I solved this by registering the services. Example:

My descriptor in tnsnames.ora:

LOCALDB =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = LOCALDB)
    )
  )

So, I proceed to register the service in the listener.ora manually:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = LOCALDB)
      (ORACLE_HOME = C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
      (SID_NAME = LOCALDB)
    )

Finally, restart the listener by command:

> lsnrctl stop
> lsnrctl start

Done!

You can use a function like strtol() which will convert a character array to a long.

It has a parameter which is a way to detect the first character that didn't convert properly. If this is anything other than the end of the string, then you have a problem.

See the following program for an example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int i;
    long val;
    char *next;

    // Process each argument given.

    for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
        // Get value with failure detection.

        val = strtol (argv[i], &next, 10);

        // Check for empty string and characters left after conversion.

        if ((next == argv[i]) || (*next != '\0')) {
            printf ("'%s' is not valid\n", argv[i]);
        } else {
            printf ("'%s' gives %ld\n", argv[i], val);
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Running this, you can see it in operation:

pax> testprog hello "" 42 12.2 77x

'hello' is not valid
'' is not valid
'42' gives 42
'12.2' is not valid
'77x' is not valid

Check if a given key already exists in a dictionary

Python dictionary has the method called __contains__. This method will return True if the dictionary has the key else returns False.

 >>> temp = {}

 >>> help(temp.__contains__)

Help on built-in function __contains__:

__contains__(key, /) method of builtins.dict instance
    True if D has a key k, else False.

Find if variable is divisible by 2

You can use the modulus operator like this, no need for jQuery. Just replace the alerts with your code.

var x = 2;
if (x % 2 == 0)
{
  alert('even');
}
else
{
  alert('odd')
}

cordova Android requirements failed: "Could not find an installed version of Gradle"

To answer OP's question:

Since you're on Linux you'll have to install gradle yourself, perhaps following this guide, and then put an entry in PATH to a folder that contains gradle executable.

Cordova has some code to look for gradle if you have Android Studio but only for Mac and Windows, see here:

https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/e13e15d3e9aa4b9a61c6ece434e7c023fa5c3553/bin/templates/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js#L101-L132


Semi-related to OP's question, as I'm on Windows.

After upgrading to Android Studio 2.3.1, [email protected], [email protected] ([email protected]), I had build issues due missing target 25 and gradle.

First issue was solved with comment from X.Zhang (i.e. change android to avdmanager), BTW it seems a commit to fix that has landed on github so cordova-android should fix that in 6.3.0 (but I didn't test).

Second issue was as follows:

The problem turned out to be that process.env['ProgramFiles'] evaluates to 'C:\\Program Files (x86)'; whereas I have Android Studio in C:\\Program Files.

So the quick hack is to either override this value, or install Android Studio to the other place.

// platforms/android/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js

module.exports.get_gradle_wrapper = function() {
    var androidStudioPath;
    var i = 0;
    var foundStudio = false;
    var program_dir;
    if (module.exports.isDarwin()) {
        // ...
    } else if (module.exports.isWindows()) {
        // console.log(process.env['ProgramFiles'])';
        // add one of the lines below to have a quick fix...
        // process.env['ProgramFiles'] = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)';
        // process.env['ProgramFiles'] = 'C:\\Program Files';
        var androidPath = path.join(process.env['ProgramFiles'], 'Android') + '/';

I'm not sure what would be the proper fix to handle both folders in a robust way (other than iterating over both folders).

Obviously this has to be fixed in cordova-android project itself; otherwise whenever you do cordova platform rm your fixes will be gone.

I opened the ticket on Cordova JIRA:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12677

SqlServer: Login failed for user

Is your SQL Server in 'mixed mode authentication' ? This is necessary to login with a SQL server account instead of a Windows login.

You can verify this by checking the properties of the server and then SECURITY, it should be in 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode'

This problem occurs if the user tries to log in with credentials that cannot be validated. This problem can occur in the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: The login may be a SQL Server login but the server only accepts Windows Authentication.

Scenario 2: You are trying to connect by using SQL Server Authentication but the login used does not exist on SQL Server.

Scenario 3: The login may use Windows Authentication but the login is an unrecognized Windows principal. An unrecognized Windows principal means that Windows can't verify the login. This might be because the Windows login is from an untrusted domain.

It's also possible the user put in incorrect information.

How to access data/data folder in Android device?

To backup from Android to Desktop

Open command line cmd and run this: adb backup -f C:\Intel\xxx.ab -noapk your.app.package. Do not enter password and click on Backup my data. Make sure not to save on drive C root. You may be denied. This is why I saved on C:\Intel.

To extract the *.ab file

  1. Go here and download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/adbextractor/
  2. Extract the downloaded file and navigate to folder where you extracted.
  3. run this with your own file names: java -jar abe.jar unpack c:\Intel\xxx.ab c:\Intel\xxx.tar

Parse RSS with jQuery

Use jFeed - a jQuery RSS/Atom plugin. According to the docs, it's as simple as:

jQuery.getFeed({
   url: 'rss.xml',
   success: function(feed) {
      alert(feed.title);
   }
});

Check if a string matches a regex in Bash script

A good way to test if a string is a correct date is to use the command date:

if date -d "${DATE}" >/dev/null 2>&1
then
  # do what you need to do with your date
else
  echo "${DATE} incorrect date" >&2
  exit 1
fi

from comment: one can use formatting

if [ "2017-01-14" == $(date -d "2017-01-14" '+%Y-%m-%d') ] 

How to manually set REFERER header in Javascript?

I think that understanding why you can't change the referer header might help people reading this question.

From this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Forbidden_header_name

From that link:

A forbidden header name is the name of any HTTP header that cannot be modified programmatically...

Modifying such headers is forbidden because the user agent retains full control over them.

Forbidden header names ... are one of the following names:

How to determine whether code is running in DEBUG / RELEASE build?

Not sure if I answered you question, maybe you could try these code:

#ifdef DEBUG
#define DLOG(xx, ...)  NSLog( \
    @"%s(%d): " \
    xx, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, __LINE__, ##__VA_ARGS__ \  
    )
#else
#define DLOG(xx, ...)  ((void)0)
#endif 

How to get the device's IMEI/ESN programmatically in android?

I use the following code to get the IMEI or use Secure.ANDROID_ID as an alternative, when the device doesn't have phone capabilities:

/**
 * Returns the unique identifier for the device
 *
 * @return unique identifier for the device
 */
public String getDeviceIMEI() {
    String deviceUniqueIdentifier = null;
    TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    if (null != tm) {
        deviceUniqueIdentifier = tm.getDeviceId();
    }
    if (null == deviceUniqueIdentifier || 0 == deviceUniqueIdentifier.length()) {
        deviceUniqueIdentifier = Settings.Secure.getString(this.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
    }
    return deviceUniqueIdentifier;
}

Setting size for icon in CSS

You could override the framework CSS (I guess you're using one) and set the size as you want, like this:

.pnx-msg-icon pnx-icon-msg-warning {
    width: 24px !important;
    height: 24px !important;
}

The "!important" property will make sure your code has priority to the framework's code. Make sure you are overriding the correct property, I don't know how the framework is working, this is just an example of !important usage.

How to use JavaScript regex over multiple lines?

DON'T use (.|[\r\n]) instead of . for multiline matching.

DO use [\s\S] instead of . for multiline matching

Also, avoid greediness where not needed by using *? or +? quantifier instead of * or +. This can have a huge performance impact.

See the benchmark I have made: http://jsperf.com/javascript-multiline-regexp-workarounds

Using [^]: fastest
Using [\s\S]: 0.83% slower
Using (.|\r|\n): 96% slower
Using (.|[\r\n]): 96% slower

NB: You can also use [^] but it is deprecated in the below comment.

Difference Between One-to-Many, Many-to-One and Many-to-Many?

Looks like everyone is answering One-to-many vs. Many-to-many:

The difference between One-to-many, Many-to-one and Many-to-Many is:

One-to-many vs Many-to-one is a matter of perspective. Unidirectional vs Bidirectional will not affect the mapping but will make difference on how you can access your data.

  • In Many-to-one the many side will keep reference of the one side. A good example is "A State has Cities". In this case State is the one side and City is the many side. There will be a column state_id in the table cities.

In unidirectional, Person class will have List<Skill> skills but Skill will not have Person person. In bidirectional, both properties are added and it allows you to access a Person given a skill( i.e. skill.person).

  • In One-to-Many the one side will be our point of reference. For example, "A User has Addresses". In this case we might have three columns address_1_id, address_2_id and address_3_id or a look up table with multi column unique constraint on user_id on address_id.

In unidirectional, a User will have Address address. Bidirectional will have an additional List<User> users in the Address class.

  • In Many-to-Many members of each party can hold reference to arbitrary number of members of the other party. To achieve this a look up table is used. Example for this is the relationship between doctors and patients. A doctor can have many patients and vice versa.

How to replace a substring of a string

You need to use return value of replaceAll() method. replaceAll() does not replace the characters in the current string, it returns a new string with replacement.

  • String objects are immutable, their values cannot be changed after they are created.
  • You may use replace() instead of replaceAll() if you don't need regex.
    String str = "abcd=0; efgh=1";
    String replacedStr = str.replaceAll("abcd", "dddd");

    System.out.println(str);
    System.out.println(replacedStr);

outputs

abcd=0; efgh=1
dddd=0; efgh=1

        TextView helloTxt = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.hellotxt);
        helloTxt.setText(readTxt());

    private String readTxt(){

     InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.toc);
//     InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.internals);
     System.out.println(inputStream);
     ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

     int i;
  try {
   i = inputStream.read();
   while (i != -1)
      {
       byteArrayOutputStream.write(i);
       i = inputStream.read();
      }
      inputStream.close();
  } catch (IOException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  }

     return byteArrayOutputStream.toString();
    }
}

SHA-256 or MD5 for file integrity

  1. Yes, on most CPUs, SHA-256 is two to three times slower than MD5, though not primarily because of its longer hash. See other answers here and the answers to this Stack Overflow questions.
  2. Here's a backup scenario where MD5 would not be appropriate:
    • Your backup program hashes each file being backed up. It then stores each file's data by its hash, so if you're backing up the same file twice you only end up with one copy of it.
    • An attacker can cause the system to backup files they control.
    • The attacker knows the MD5 hash of a file they want to remove from the backup.
    • The attacker can then use the known weaknesses of MD5 to craft a new file that has the same hash as the file to remove. When that file is backed up, it will replace the file to remove, and that file's backed up data will be lost.
    • This backup system could be strengthened a bit (and made more efficient) by not replacing files whose hash it has previously encountered, but then an attacker could prevent a target file with a known hash from being backed up by preemptively backing up a specially constructed bogus file with the same hash.
    • Obviously most systems, backup and otherwise, do not satisfy the conditions necessary for this attack to be practical, but I just wanted to give an example of a situation where SHA-256 would be preferable to MD5. Whether this would be the case for the system you're creating depends on more than just the characteristics of MD5 and SHA-256.
  3. Yes, cryptographic hashes like the ones generated by MD5 and SHA-256 are a type of checksum.

Happy hashing!

How do I break a string across more than one line of code in JavaScript?

I tried a number of the above suggestions but got an ILLEGAL character warning in Chrome code inspector. The following worked for me (only tested in Chrome though!)

alert('stuff on line 1\\nstuff on line 2);

comes out like...

stuff on line 1
stuff on line 2

NOTE the double backslash!!...this seems to be important!

Returning Arrays in Java

Of course the method numbers() returns an array, it's just that you're doing nothing with it. Try this in main():

int[] array = numbers();                    // obtain the array
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array)); // now print it

That will show the array in the console.

Why am I getting a FileNotFoundError?

Difficult to give code examples in the comments.

To read the words in the file, you can read the contents of the file, which gets you a string - this is what you were doing before, with the read() method - and then use split() to get the individual words. Split breaks up a String on the delimiter provided, or on whitespace by default. For example,

"the quick brown fox".split()

produces

['the', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox']

Similarly,

fileScan.read().split()

will give you an array of Strings. Hope that helps!

C# string does not contain possible?

Error: Jump to case label

The problem is that variables declared in one case are still visible in the subsequent cases unless an explicit { } block is used, but they will not be initialized because the initialization code belongs to another case.

In the following code, if foo equals 1, everything is ok, but if it equals 2, we'll accidentally use the i variable which does exist but probably contains garbage.

switch(foo) {
  case 1:
    int i = 42; // i exists all the way to the end of the switch
    dostuff(i);
    break;
  case 2:
    dostuff(i*2); // i is *also* in scope here, but is not initialized!
}

Wrapping the case in an explicit block solves the problem:

switch(foo) {
  case 1:
    {
        int i = 42; // i only exists within the { }
        dostuff(i);
        break;
    }
  case 2:
    dostuff(123); // Now you cannot use i accidentally
}

Edit

To further elaborate, switch statements are just a particularly fancy kind of a goto. Here's an analoguous piece of code exhibiting the same issue but using a goto instead of a switch:

int main() {
    if(rand() % 2) // Toss a coin
        goto end;

    int i = 42;

  end:
    // We either skipped the declaration of i or not,
    // but either way the variable i exists here, because
    // variable scopes are resolved at compile time.
    // Whether the *initialization* code was run, though,
    // depends on whether rand returned 0 or 1.
    std::cout << i;
}

C++ calling base class constructors

Imagine it like this: When your sub-class inherits properties from a super-class, they don't magically appear. You still have to construct the object. So, you call the base constructor. Imagine if you class inherits a variable, which your super-class constructor initializes to an important value. If we didn't do this, your code could fail because the variable wasn't initialized.

How to connect to SQL Server database from JavaScript in the browser?

As stated before it shouldn't be done using client side Javascript but there's a framework for implementing what you want more securely.

How to get named excel sheets while exporting from SSRS

Necromancing, just in case all the links go dark:

  1. Add a group to your report
    Also, be advised to set the sort order of the group expression here, so the tabs will be alphabetically sorted (or however you want it sorted).

    1. Add a group to your report

    • 'Zeilengruppe' means 'Target group'
    • 'Gruppeneigenschaften' means 'Group properties'
  2. Set the page break in the group properties 2. Set the page break in the group properties

    • 'Seitenumbruche' means 'Page break'
    • 'Zwischen den einzelnen Instanzen einer Gruppe' means 'Between the individual instances of a group'
  3. Now you need to set the PageName of the Tablix Member (group), NOT the PageName of the Tablix itselfs.
    If you got the right object, if will say "Tablix Member" (Tablix-Element in German) in the title box of the properties grid. If it's the wrong object, it will say only "table/tablix" (without member) in the property grid's title box.

  4. Note: If you get the tablix instead of the tablix member, it will put the same tab name in every tab, followed by a (tabNum)! If that happens, you now know what the problem is. Tablix Member

What is the precise meaning of "ours" and "theirs" in git?

Just to clarify -- as noted above when rebasing the sense is reversed, so if you see

<<<<<<< HEAD
        foo = 12;
=======
        foo = 22;
>>>>>>> [your commit message]

Resolve using 'mine' -> foo = 12

Resolve using 'theirs' -> foo = 22

Read input stream twice

If you are using an implementation of InputStream, you can check the result of InputStream#markSupported() that tell you whether or not you can use the method mark() / reset().

If you can mark the stream when you read, then call reset() to go back to begin.

If you can't you'll have to open a stream again.

Another solution would be to convert InputStream to byte array, then iterate over the array as many time as you need. You can find several solutions in this post Convert InputStream to byte array in Java using 3rd party libs or not. Caution, if the read content is too big you might experience some memory troubles.

Finally, if your need is to read image, then use :

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new URL("http://www.example.com/images/toto.jpg"));

Using ImageIO#read(java.net.URL) also allows you to use cache.

map function for objects (instead of arrays)

I came upon this as a first-item in a Google search trying to learn to do this, and thought I would share for other folsk finding this recently the solution I found, which uses the npm package immutable.

I think its interesting to share because immutable uses the OP's EXACT situation in their own documentation - the following is not my own code but pulled from the current immutable-js documentation:

const { Seq } = require('immutable')
const myObject = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
Seq(myObject).map(x => x * x).toObject();
// { a: 1, b: 4, c: 9 } 

Not that Seq has other properties ("Seq describes a lazy operation, allowing them to efficiently chain use of all the higher-order collection methods (such as map and filter) by not creating intermediate collections") and that some other immutable-js data structures might also do the job quite efficiently.

Anyone using this method will of course have to npm install immutable and might want to read the docs:

First you need to set a reference (Menu: Tools->References) to the Microsoft Excel Object Library then you can access all Excel Objects.

After you added the Reference you have full access to all Excel Objects. You need to add Excel in front of everything for example:

Dim xlApp as Excel.Application

Let's say you added an Excel Workbook Object in your Form and named it xLObject.

Here is how you Access a Sheet of this Object and change a Range

Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set sheet = xlObject.Object.Sheets(1)
sheet.Range("A1") = "Hello World"

(I copied the above from my answer to this question)

Another way to use Excel in Access is to start Excel through a Access Module (the way shahkalpesh described it in his answer)

How can I show a combobox in Android?

In android it is called a Spinner you can take a look at the tutorial here.

Hello, Spinner

And this is a very vague question, you should try to be more descriptive of your problem.

How to make a transparent border using CSS?

Using the :before pseudo-element,
CSS3's border-radius,
and some transparency is quite easy:

LIVE DEMO

enter image description here

<div class="circle"></div>

CSS:

.circle, .circle:before{
  position:absolute;
  border-radius:150px;  
}
.circle{  
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
  z-index:0;
  margin:11%;
  padding:40px;
  background: hsla(0, 100%, 100%, 0.6);   
}
.circle:before{
  content:'';
  display:block;
  z-index:-1;  
  width:200px;
  height:200px;

  padding:44px;
  border: 6px solid hsla(0, 100%, 100%, 0.6);
  /* 4px more padding + 6px border = 10 so... */  
  top:-10px;
  left:-10px; 
}

The :before attaches to our .circle another element which you only need to make (ok, block, absolute, etc...) transparent and play with the border opacity.

Can dplyr join on multiple columns or composite key?

Updating to use tibble()

You can pass a named vector of length greater than 1 to the by argument of left_join():

library(dplyr)

d1 <- tibble(
  x = letters[1:3],
  y = LETTERS[1:3],
  a = rnorm(3)
  )

d2 <- tibble(
  x2 = letters[3:1],
  y2 = LETTERS[3:1],
  b = rnorm(3)
  )

left_join(d1, d2, by = c("x" = "x2", "y" = "y2"))

Searching multiple files for multiple words

If you are using Notepad++ editor Goto ctrl + F choose tab 3 find in files and enter:

  1. Find What = text1*.*text2
  2. Filters : .
  3. Search mode = Regular Expression
  4. Directory = enter the path of the directory you want to search in. You can check Follow current doc. to have the path of the current file to be filled.

What is the difference between static func and class func in Swift?

Is it simply that static is for static functions of structs and enums, and class for classes and protocols?

That's the main difference. Some other differences are that class functions are dynamically dispatched and can be overridden by subclasses.

Protocols use the class keyword, but it doesn't exclude structs from implementing the protocol, they just use static instead. Class was chosen for protocols so there wouldn't have to be a third keyword to represent static or class.

From Chris Lattner on this topic:

We considered unifying the syntax (e.g. using "type" as the keyword), but that doesn't actually simply things. The keywords "class" and "static" are good for familiarity and are quite descriptive (once you understand how + methods work), and open the door for potentially adding truly static methods to classes. The primary weirdness of this model is that protocols have to pick a keyword (and we chose "class"), but on balance it is the right tradeoff.

And here's a snippet that shows some of the override behavior of class functions:

class MyClass {
    class func myFunc() {
        println("myClass")
    }
}

class MyOtherClass: MyClass {
    override class func myFunc() {
        println("myOtherClass")
    }
}

var x: MyClass = MyOtherClass()
x.dynamicType.myFunc() //myOtherClass
x = MyClass()
x.dynamicType.myFunc() //myClass

Simplest JQuery validation rules example

    cname: {
        required: true,

    }
},

        required: "<li>Please enter a name.</li>",
        minlength: "<li>Your name is not long enough.</li>"
    }
}

HTTP Status 504

Suppose access a proxy server A(eg. nginx), and the server A forwards the request to another server B(eg. tomcat).

If this process continues for a long time (more than the proxy server read timeout setting), A still did not get a completed response of B. It happens.

for nginx, You can configure the proxy_read_timeout(in location) property to solve his.But this is usually not a good idea, if you set the value too high. This may hide the real error.You'd better improve the design to really solve this problem.

WAMP Cannot access on local network 403 Forbidden

To expand on RiggsFolly’s answer—or for anyone who is facing the same issue but is using Apache 2.2 or below—this format should work well:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
Allow from localhost
Allow from 192.168
Allow from 10
Satisfy Any

For more details on the format changes for Apache 2.4, the official Upgrading to 2.2 from 2.4 page is pretty clear & concise. Key point being:

The old access control idioms should be replaced by the new authentication mechanisms, although for compatibility with old configurations, the new module mod_access_compat is provided.

Which means, system admins around the world don’t necessarily have to panic about changing Apache 2.2 configs to be 2.4 compliant just yet.

When is std::weak_ptr useful?

Here's one example, given to me by @jleahy: Suppose you have a collection of tasks, executed asynchronously, and managed by an std::shared_ptr<Task>. You may want to do something with those tasks periodically, so a timer event may traverse a std::vector<std::weak_ptr<Task>> and give the tasks something to do. However, simultaneously a task may have concurrently decided that it is no longer needed and die. The timer can thus check whether the task is still alive by making a shared pointer from the weak pointer and using that shared pointer, provided it isn't null.

}});

For me, the problem has been resolved with that.

Passing data between different controller action methods

I prefer to use this instead of TempData

public class Home1Controller : Controller 
{
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult CheckBox(string date)
    {
        return RedirectToAction("ActionName", "Home2", new { Date =date });
    }
}

and another controller Action is

public class Home2Controller : Controller 
{
    [HttpPost]
    Public ActionResult ActionName(string Date)
    {
       // do whatever with Date
       return View();
    }
}

it is too late but i hope to be helpful for any one in the future

Include .so library in apk in android studio

I've tried the solution presented in the accepted answer and it did not work for me. I wanted to share what DID work for me as it might help someone else. I've found this solution here.

Basically what you need to do is put your .so files inside a a folder named lib (Note: it is not libs and this is not a mistake). It should be in the same structure it should be in the APK file.

In my case it was:
Project:
|--lib:
|--|--armeabi:
|--|--|--.so files.

So I've made a lib folder and inside it an armeabi folder where I've inserted all the needed .so files. I then zipped the folder into a .zip (the structure inside the zip file is now lib/armeabi/*.so) I renamed the .zip file into armeabi.jar and added the line compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar') into dependencies {} in the gradle's build file.

This solved my problem in a rather clean way.

Declaring a variable and setting its value from a SELECT query in Oracle

For storing a single row output into a variable from the select into query :

declare v_username varchare(20); SELECT username into v_username FROM users WHERE user_id = '7';

this will store the value of a single record into the variable v_username.


For storing multiple rows output into a variable from the select into query :

you have to use listagg function. listagg concatenate the resultant rows of a coloumn into a single coloumn and also to differentiate them you can use a special symbol. use the query as below SELECT listagg(username || ',' ) within group (order by username) into v_username FROM users;

Do I need to pass the full path of a file in another directory to open()?

You have to specify the path that you are working on:

source = '/home/test/py_test/'
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(source):
    for f in filenames:
        print f
        fullpath = os.path.join(source, f)
        log = open(fullpath, 'r')

Rename multiple files in cmd

I found the following in a small comment in Supperuser.com:

@JacksOnF1re - New information/technique added to my answer. You can actually delete your Copy of prefix using an obscure forward slash technique: ren "Copy of .txt" "////////"

Of How does the Windows RENAME command interpret wildcards? See in this thread, the answer of dbenham.

My problem was slightly different, I wanted to add a Prefix to the file and remove from the beginning what I don't need. In my case I had several hundred of enumerated files such as:

SKMBT_C36019101512510_001.jpg
SKMBT_C36019101512510_002.jpg
SKMBT_C36019101512510_003.jpg
SKMBT_C36019101512510_004.jpg
:
:

Now I wanted to respectively rename them all to (Album 07 picture #):

A07_P001.jpg
A07_P002.jpg
A07_P003.jpg
A07_P004.jpg
:
:

I did it with a single command line and it worked like charm:

ren "SKMBT_C36019101512510_*.*" "/////////////////A06_P*.*"

Note:

  1. Quoting (") the "<Name Scheme>" is not an option, it does not work otherwise, in our example: "SKMBT_C36019101512510_*.*" and "/////////////////A06_P*.*" were quoted.
  2. I had to exactly count the number of characters I want to remove and leave space for my new characters: The A06_P actually replaced 2510_ and the SKMBT_C3601910151 was removed, by using exactly the number of slashes ///////////////// (17 characters).
  3. I recommend copying your files (making a backup), before applying the above.

HTML Text with tags to formatted text in an Excel cell

To put HTML/Word in an Excel Shape and locate it on an Excel Cell:

  1. Write my HTML to a temp file.
  2. Open temp file via Word Interop.
  3. Copy it from Word to clipboard.
  4. Open Excel via Interop.
  5. Set and Select a cell to a range.
  6. PasteSpecial as a "Microsoft Word Document Object"
  7. Adjust the excel row to the Shape height.

In this way, even HTML with tables and other stuff does not get split over multiple cells.

    private void btnPutHTMLIntoExcelShape_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var fFile = new FileInfo(@"C:\Temp\temp.html");
        StreamWriter SW = fFile.CreateText();
        SW.Write(hecNote.DocumentHtml);
        SW.Close();

        Word.Application wrdApplication;
        Word.Document wrdDocument;
        wrdApplication = new Word.Application();
        wrdApplication.Visible = true;

        wrdDocument = wrdApplication.Documents.Add(@"C:\Temp\temp.html");
        wrdDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory();
        wrdDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Copy();

        Excel.Application excApplication;
        Excel.Workbook excWorkbook;
        Excel._Worksheet excWorksheet;
        Excel.Range excRange = null;

        excApplication = new Excel.Application();
        excApplication.Visible = true;
        excWorkbook = excApplication.Workbooks.Add(Type.Missing);
        excWorksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)excWorkbook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
        excWorksheet.Name = "Work";
        excRange = excWorksheet.get_Range("A1");
        excRange.Select();

        excWorksheet.PasteSpecial("Microsoft Word Document Object");

        Excel.Shape O = excWorksheet.Shapes.Item(1);

        this.Text = $"{O.Height} x {O.Width}";
        ((Excel.Range)excWorksheet.Rows[1, Type.Missing]).RowHeight = O.Height;
    }

Running multiple AsyncTasks at the same time -- not possible?

AsyncTask uses a thread pool pattern for running the stuff from doInBackground(). The issue is initially (in early Android OS versions) the pool size was just 1, meaning no parallel computations for a bunch of AsyncTasks. But later they fixed that and now the size is 5, so at most 5 AsyncTasks can run simultaneously. Unfortunately I don't remember in what version exactly they changed that.

UPDATE:

Here is what current (2012-01-27) API says on this:

When first introduced, AsyncTasks were executed serially on a single background thread. Starting with DONUT, this was changed to a pool of threads allowing multiple tasks to operate in parallel. After HONEYCOMB, it is planned to change this back to a single thread to avoid common application errors caused by parallel execution. If you truly want parallel execution, you can use the executeOnExecutor(Executor, Params...) version of this method with THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR; however, see commentary there for warnings on its use.

DONUT is Android 1.6, HONEYCOMB is Android 3.0.

UPDATE: 2

See the comment by kabuko from Mar 7 2012 at 1:27.

It turns out that for APIs where "a pool of threads allowing multiple tasks to operate in parallel" is used (starting from 1.6 and ending on 3.0) the number of simultaneously running AsyncTasks depends on how many tasks have been passed for execution already, but have not finished their doInBackground() yet.

This is tested/confirmed by me on 2.2. Suppose you have a custom AsyncTask that just sleeps a second in doInBackground(). AsyncTasks use a fixed size queue internally for storing delayed tasks. Queue size is 10 by default. If you start 15 your custom tasks in a row, then first 5 will enter their doInBackground(), but the rest will wait in a queue for a free worker thread. As soon as any of the first 5 finishes, and thus releases a worker thread, a task from the queue will start execution. So in this case at most 5 tasks will run simultaneously. However if you start 16 your custom tasks in a row, then first 5 will enter their doInBackground(), the rest 10 will get into the queue, but for the 16th a new worker thread will be created so it'll start execution immediately. So in this case at most 6 tasks will run simultaneously.

There is a limit of how many tasks can be run simultaneously. Since AsyncTask uses a thread pool executor with limited max number of worker threads (128) and the delayed tasks queue has fixed size 10, if you try to execute more than 138 your custom tasks the app will crash with java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException.

Starting from 3.0 the API allows to use your custom thread pool executor via AsyncTask.executeOnExecutor(Executor exec, Params... params) method. This allows, for instance, to configure the size of the delayed tasks queue if default 10 is not what you need.

As @Knossos mentions, there is an option to use AsyncTaskCompat.executeParallel(task, params); from support v.4 library to run tasks in parallel without bothering with API level. This method became deprecated in API level 26.0.0.

UPDATE: 3

Here is a simple test app to play with number of tasks, serial vs. parallel execution: https://github.com/vitkhudenko/test_asynctask

UPDATE: 4 (thanks @penkzhou for pointing this out)

Starting from Android 4.4 AsyncTask behaves differently from what was described in UPDATE: 2 section. There is a fix to prevent AsyncTask from creating too many threads.

Before Android 4.4 (API 19) AsyncTask had the following fields:

private static final int CORE_POOL_SIZE = 5;
private static final int MAXIMUM_POOL_SIZE = 128;
private static final BlockingQueue<Runnable> sPoolWorkQueue =
        new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>(10);

In Android 4.4 (API 19) the above fields are changed to this:

private static final int CPU_COUNT = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();
private static final int CORE_POOL_SIZE = CPU_COUNT + 1;
private static final int MAXIMUM_POOL_SIZE = CPU_COUNT * 2 + 1;
private static final BlockingQueue<Runnable> sPoolWorkQueue =
        new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>(128);

This change increases the size of the queue to 128 items and reduces the maximum number of threads to the number of CPU cores * 2 + 1. Apps can still submit the same number of tasks.

Unix command-line JSON parser?

If you're looking for a portable C compiled tool:

http://stedolan.github.com/jq/

From the website:

jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text.

jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you’d expect.

Why does Java have transient fields?

As per google transient meaning == lasting only for a short time; impermanent.

Now if you want to make anything transient in java use transient keyword.

Q: where to use transient?

A: Generally in java we can save data to files by acquiring them in variables and writing those variables to files, this process is known as Serialization. Now if we want to avoid variable data to be written to file, we would make that variable as transient.

transient int result=10;

Note: transient variables cannot be local.

How do I get the color from a hexadecimal color code using .NET?

I'm assuming that's an ARGB code... Are you referring to System.Drawing.Color or System.Windows.Media.Color? The latter is used in WPF for example. I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, so just in case you were looking for it:

using System.Windows.Media;

Color color = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#FFDFD991");

Loop timer in JavaScript

Note that setTimeout and setInterval are very different functions:

  • setTimeout will execute the code once, after the timeout.
  • setInterval will execute the code forever, in intervals of the provided timeout.

Both functions return a timer ID which you can use to abort the timeout. All you have to do is store that value in a variable and use it as argument to clearTimeout(tid) or clearInterval(tid) respectively.

So, depending on what you want to do, you have two valid choices:

// set timeout
var tid = setTimeout(mycode, 2000);
function mycode() {
  // do some stuff...
  tid = setTimeout(mycode, 2000); // repeat myself
}
function abortTimer() { // to be called when you want to stop the timer
  clearTimeout(tid);
}

or

// set interval
var tid = setInterval(mycode, 2000);
function mycode() {
  // do some stuff...
  // no need to recall the function (it's an interval, it'll loop forever)
}
function abortTimer() { // to be called when you want to stop the timer
  clearInterval(tid);
}

Both are very common ways of achieving the same.

Border around specific rows in a table?

The only other way I can think of to do it is to enclose each of the rows you need a border around in a nested table. That will make the border easier to do but will potentially creat other layout issues, you'll have to manually set the width on table cells etc.

Your approach may well be the best one depending on your other layout rerquirements and the suggested approach here is just a possible alternative.

<table cellspacing="0">  
    <tr>    
        <td>no border</td>    
        <td>no border here either</td>  
    </tr>  
    <tr>
        <td>
             <table style="border: thin solid black">
                  <tr>    
                        <td>one</td>    
                        <td>two</td>  
                  </tr>  
                  <tr>    
                      <td>three</td>    
                      <td>four</td>  
                  </tr>  
             </table>
         </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>    
         <td colspan="2">once again no borders</td>  
    </tr>  
    <tr>
        <td>
             <table style="border: thin solid black">
                  <tr>    
                        <td>hello</td>  
                   </tr>
             </table>

Example of waitpid() in use?

Syntax of waitpid():

pid_t waitpid(pid_t pid, int *status, int options);

The value of pid can be:

  • < -1: Wait for any child process whose process group ID is equal to the absolute value of pid.
  • -1: Wait for any child process.
  • 0: Wait for any child process whose process group ID is equal to that of the calling process.
  • > 0: Wait for the child whose process ID is equal to the value of pid.

The value of options is an OR of zero or more of the following constants:

  • WNOHANG: Return immediately if no child has exited.
  • WUNTRACED: Also return if a child has stopped. Status for traced children which have stopped is provided even if this option is not specified.
  • WCONTINUED: Also return if a stopped child has been resumed by delivery of SIGCONT.

For more help, use man waitpid.

Calculating moving average

One can use runner package for moving functions. In this case mean_run function. Problem with cummean is that it doesn't handle NA values, but mean_run does. runner package also supports irregular time series and windows can depend on date:

library(runner)
set.seed(11)
x1 <- rnorm(15)
x2 <- sample(c(rep(NA,5), rnorm(15)), 15, replace = TRUE)
date <- Sys.Date() + cumsum(sample(1:3, 15, replace = TRUE))

mean_run(x1)

One can also specify other options like lag, and roll only at specific indexes. More in package and function documentation.

Determine path of the executing script

#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
print("Hello")

# sad workaround but works :(
programDir <- dirname(sys.frame(1)$ofile)
source(paste(programDir,"other.R",sep='/'))
source(paste(programDir,"other-than-other.R",sep='/'))

How do I reflect over the members of dynamic object?

If the IDynamicMetaObjectProvider can provide the dynamic member names, you can get them. See GetMemberNames implementation in the apache licensed PCL library Dynamitey (which can be found in nuget), it works for ExpandoObjects and DynamicObjects that implement GetDynamicMemberNames and any other IDynamicMetaObjectProvider who provides a meta object with an implementation of GetDynamicMemberNames without custom testing beyond is IDynamicMetaObjectProvider.

After getting the member names it's a little more work to get the value the right way, but Impromptu does this but it's harder to point to just the interesting bits and have it make sense. Here's the documentation and it is equal or faster than reflection, however, unlikely to be faster than a dictionary lookup for expando, but it works for any object, expando, dynamic or original - you name it.

Hibernate Group by Criteria Object

You can use the approach @Ken Chan mentions, and add a single line of code after that if you want a specific list of Objects, example:

    session.createCriteria(SomeTable.class)       
                    .add(Restrictions.ge("someColumn", xxxxx))      
                    .setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
                            .add(Projections.groupProperty("someColumn"))
                            .add(Projections.max("someColumn"))
                            .add(Projections.min("someColumn"))
                            .add(Projections.count("someColumn"))           
                    ).setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(SomeClazz.class));

List<SomeClazz> objectList = (List<SomeClazz>) criteria.list();

DBCC SHRINKFILE on log file not reducing size even after BACKUP LOG TO DISK

Try this

ALTER DATABASE XXXX  SET RECOVERY SIMPLE

use XXXX

declare @log_File_Name varchar(200) 

select @log_File_Name  = name from sysfiles where filename like '%LDF'

declare @i int = FILE_IDEX ( @log_File_Name)

dbcc shrinkfile ( @i , 50) 

Could not calculate build plan: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.3.2 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved

I was able to solve the same problem with different solution.

The solution that worked for me was to Right click project "pom.xml" in eclipse and select "Maven Install".

Angular 5 Button Submit On Enter Key Press

You could also use a dummy form arround it like:

<mat-card-footer>
<form (submit)="search(ref, id, forename, surname, postcode)" action="#">
  <button mat-raised-button type="submit" class="successButton" id="invSearch" title="Click to perform search." >Search</button>
</form>
</mat-card-footer>

the search function has to return false to make sure that the action doesn't get executed.
Just make sure the form is focused (should be when you have the input in the form) when you press enter.

How to support UTF-8 encoding in Eclipse

  • 2) Window > Preferences > General > Workspace, set Text file encoding to Other : UTF-8

Make anchor link go some pixels above where it's linked to

A variant of Thomas' solution: CSS element>element selectors can be handy here:

CSS

.paddedAnchor{
  position: relative;
}
.paddedAnchor > a{
  position: absolute;
  top: -100px;
}

HTML

<a href="#myAnchor">Click Me!</a>

<span class="paddedAnchor"><a name="myAnchor"></a></span>

A click on the link will move the scroll position to 100px above wherever the element with a class of paddedAnchor is positioned.

Supported in non-IE browsers, and in IE from version 9. For support on IE 7 and 8, a <!DOCTYPE> must be declared.

Set inputType for an EditText Programmatically?

field.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

Datetime in C# add days

You can add days to a date like this:

// add days to current **DateTime**
var addedDateTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);

// add days to current **Date**
var addedDate = DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(10);

// add days to any DateTime variable
var addedDateTime = anyDate.AddDay(10);

Shell script current directory?

You could do this yourself by checking the output from pwd when running it. This will print the directory you are currently in. Not the script.

If your script does not switch directories, it'll print the directory you ran it from.
