How to append a newline to StringBuilder

It should be

r.append("\n");

But I recommend you to do as below,

r.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));

System.getProperty("line.separator") gives you system-dependent newline in java. Also from Java 7 there's a method that returns the value directly: System.lineSeparator()

MySQL integer field is returned as string in PHP

This happens when PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES is set to true on the connection.

Careful though, setting it to false disallows the use of parameters more than once. I believe it also affects the quality of the error messages coming back.

How to set a DateTime variable in SQL Server 2008?

2011-01-15 = 2011-16 = 1995. This is then being implicitly converted from an integer to a date, giving you the 1995th day, starting from 1st Jan 1900.

You need to use SET @test = '2011-02-15'

How to make div same height as parent (displayed as table-cell)

You have to set the height for the parents (container and child) explicitly, here is another work-around (if you don't want to set that height explicitly):

.child {
  width: 30px;
  background-color: red;
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: top;
  position:relative;
}

.content {
  position:absolute;
  top:0;
  bottom:0;
  width:100%;
  background-color: blue;
}

What is the difference between ManualResetEvent and AutoResetEvent in .NET?

If you want to understand AutoResetEvent and ManualResetEvent you need to understand not threading but interrupts!

.NET wants to conjure up low-level programming the most distant possible.

An interrupts is something used in low-level programming which equals to a signal that from low became high (or viceversa). When this happens the program interrupt its normal execution and move the execution pointer to the function that handles this event.

The first thing to do when an interrupt happend is to reset its state, becosa the hardware works in this way:

  1. a pin is connected to a signal and the hardware listen for it to change (the signal could have only two states).
  2. if the signal changes means that something happened and the hardware put a memory variable to the state happened (and it remain like this even if the signal change again).
  3. the program notice that variable change states and move the execution to a handling function.
  4. here the first thing to do, to be able to listen again this interrupt, is to reset this memory variable to the state not-happened.

This is the difference between ManualResetEvent and AutoResetEvent.
If a ManualResetEvent happen and I do not reset it, the next time it happens I will not be able to listen it.

How do negative margins in CSS work and why is (margin-top:-5 != margin-bottom:5)?

A margin-top of -8px means it will be 8px higher than if it had 0 margin.

A margin-bottom of 8px means that the thing below it will be 8px further down that if it had 0 margin.

How to get all the values of input array element jquery

You can use .map().

Pass each element in the current matched set through a function, producing a new jQuery object containing the return value.

As the return value is a jQuery object, which contains an array, it's very common to call .get() on the result to work with a basic array.

Use

var arr = $('input[name="pname[]"]').map(function () {
    return this.value; // $(this).val()
}).get();

Save a subplot in matplotlib

Applying the full_extent() function in an answer by @Joe 3 years later from here, you can get exactly what the OP was looking for. Alternatively, you can use Axes.get_tightbbox() which gives a little tighter bounding box

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.transforms import Bbox

def full_extent(ax, pad=0.0):
    """Get the full extent of an axes, including axes labels, tick labels, and
    titles."""
    # For text objects, we need to draw the figure first, otherwise the extents
    # are undefined.
    ax.figure.canvas.draw()
    items = ax.get_xticklabels() + ax.get_yticklabels() 
#    items += [ax, ax.title, ax.xaxis.label, ax.yaxis.label]
    items += [ax, ax.title]
    bbox = Bbox.union([item.get_window_extent() for item in items])

    return bbox.expanded(1.0 + pad, 1.0 + pad)

# Make an example plot with two subplots...
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(2,1,1)
ax1.plot(range(10), 'b-')

ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2,1,2)
ax2.plot(range(20), 'r^')

# Save the full figure...
fig.savefig('full_figure.png')

# Save just the portion _inside_ the second axis's boundaries
extent = full_extent(ax2).transformed(fig.dpi_scale_trans.inverted())
# Alternatively,
# extent = ax.get_tightbbox(fig.canvas.renderer).transformed(fig.dpi_scale_trans.inverted())
fig.savefig('ax2_figure.png', bbox_inches=extent)

git submodule tracking latest

Edit (2020.12.28): GitHub change default master branch to main branch since October 2020. See https://github.com/github/renaming


Update March 2013

Git 1.8.2 added the possibility to track branches.

"git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit recorded in the superproject's gitlink).

# add submodule to track master branch
git submodule add -b master [URL to Git repo];

# update your submodule
git submodule update --remote 

If you had a submodule already present you now wish would track a branch, see "how to make an existing submodule track a branch".

Also see Vogella's tutorial on submodules for general information on submodules.

Note:

git submodule add -b . [URL to Git repo];
                    ^^^

See git submodule man page:

A special value of . is used to indicate that the name of the branch in the submodule should be the same name as the current branch in the current repository.


See commit b928922727d6691a3bdc28160f93f25712c565f6:

submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules

This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in .gitmodules when you add a new submodule. With this patch,

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
$ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

$ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the submodule, which is usually what you want.

Original answer (February 2012):

A submodule is a single commit referenced by a parent repo.
Since it is a Git repo on its own, the "history of all commits" is accessible through a git log within that submodule.

So for a parent to track automatically the latest commit of a given branch of a submodule, it would need to:

  • cd in the submodule
  • git fetch/pull to make sure it has the latest commits on the right branch
  • cd back in the parent repo
  • add and commit in order to record the new commit of the submodule.

gitslave (that you already looked at) seems to be the best fit, including for the commit operation.

It is a little annoying to make changes to the submodule due to the requirement to check out onto the correct submodule branch, make the change, commit, and then go into the superproject and commit the commit (or at least record the new location of the submodule).

Other alternatives are detailed here.

Error:could not create the Java Virtual Machine Error:A fatal exception has occured.Program will exit

--version is a valid option from JDK 9 and it is not a valid option until JDK 8 hence you get the below:

Unrecognized option: --version
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

You can try installing JDK 9 or any version later and check for java --version it will work.

Alternately, from the installed JDK 9 or later versions you can see from java -help the below two options will be available:

    -version      print product version to the error stream and exit
    --version     print product version to the output stream and exit

where as in JDK 8 you will only have below when you execute java -help

    -version      print product version and exit

I hope it answers your question.

cursor.fetchall() vs list(cursor) in Python

A (MySQLdb/PyMySQL-specific) difference worth noting when using a DictCursor is that list(cursor) will always give you a list, while cursor.fetchall() gives you a list unless the result set is empty, in which case it gives you an empty tuple. This was the case in MySQLdb and remains the case in the newer PyMySQL, where it will not be fixed for backwards-compatibility reasons. While this isn't a violation of Python Database API Specification, it's still surprising and can easily lead to a type error caused by wrongly assuming that the result is a list, rather than just a sequence.

Given the above, I suggest always favouring list(cursor) over cursor.fetchall(), to avoid ever getting caught out by a mysterious type error in the edge case where your result set is empty.

New Array from Index Range Swift

One more variant using extension and argument name range

This extension uses Range and ClosedRange

extension Array {

    subscript (range r: Range<Int>) -> Array {
        return Array(self[r])
    }


    subscript (range r: ClosedRange<Int>) -> Array {
        return Array(self[r])
    }
}

Tests:

func testArraySubscriptRange() {
    //given
    let arr = ["1", "2", "3"]

    //when
    let result = arr[range: 1..<arr.count] as Array

    //then
    XCTAssertEqual(["2", "3"], result)
}

func testArraySubscriptClosedRange() {
    //given
    let arr = ["1", "2", "3"]

    //when
    let result = arr[range: 1...arr.count - 1] as Array

    //then
    XCTAssertEqual(["2", "3"], result)
}

How To Set A JS object property name from a variable

Along the lines of Sainath S.R's comment above, I was able to set a js object property name from a variable in Google Apps Script (which does not support ES6 yet) by defining the object then defining another key/value outside of the object:

var salesperson = ...

var mailchimpInterests = { 
        "aGroupId": true,
    };

mailchimpInterests[salesperson] = true;

How to verify a Text present in the loaded page through WebDriver

If you want check only displayed objects(C#):

    public bool TextPresent(string text, int expectedNumberOfOccurrences)
    {
        var elements = Driver.FindElements(By.XPath(".//*[text()[contains(.,'" + text + "')]]"));
        var dispayedElements = 0;
        foreach (var webElement in elements)
        {
            if (webElement.Displayed)
            {
                dispayedElements++;
            }
        }
        var allExpectedElementsDisplayed = dispayedElements == expectedNumberOfOccurrences;
        return allExpectedElementsDisplayed;
    }

Using Google Translate in C#

When I used above code.It show me translated text as question mark like (???????).Then I convert from WebClient to HttpClient then I got a accurate result.So you can used code like this.

public static string TranslateText( string input, string languagePair)       
{
    string url = String.Format("http://www.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&ie=UTF8&text={0}&langpair={1}", input, languagePair);
    HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
    string result = httpClient.GetStringAsync(url).Result;
    result = result.Substring(result.IndexOf("<span title=\"") + "<span title=\"".Length);
    result = result.Substring(result.IndexOf(">") + 1);
    result = result.Substring(0, result.IndexOf("</span>"));
    return result.Trim();
}

Then you Call a function like.You put first two letter of any language pair.

From English(en) To Urdu(ur).

TranslateText(line, "en|ur")

Why is there no Char.Empty like String.Empty?

The same reason there isn't an int.Empty. Containers can be empty, scalar values cannot. If you mean 0 (which is not empty), then use '\0'. If you mean null, then use null :)

How can I make Flexbox children 100% height of their parent?

An idea would be that display:flex; with flex-direction: row; is filling the container div with .flex-1 and .flex-2, but that does not mean that .flex-2 has a default height:100%;, even if it is extended to full height.

And to have a child element (.flex-2-child) with height:100%;, you'll need to set the parent to height:100%; or use display:flex; with flex-direction: row; on the .flex-2 div too.

From what I know, display:flex will not extend all your child elements height to 100%.

A small demo, removed the height from .flex-2-child and used display:flex; on .flex-2: http://jsfiddle.net/2ZDuE/3/

What is output buffering?

I know that this is an old question but I wanted to write my answer for visual learners. I couldn't find any diagrams explaining output buffering on the worldwide-web so I made a diagram myself in Windows mspaint.exe.

If output buffering is turned off, then echo will send data immediately to the Browser.

enter image description here

If output buffering is turned on, then an echo will send data to the output buffer before sending it to the Browser.

enter image description here

phpinfo

To see whether Output buffering is turned on / off please refer to phpinfo at the core section. The output_buffering directive will tell you if Output buffering is on/off.

enter image description here In this case the output_buffering value is 4096 which means that the buffer size is 4 KB. It also means that Output buffering is turned on, on the Web server.

php.ini

It's possible to turn on/off and change buffer size by changing the value of the output_buffering directive. Just find it in php.ini, change it to the setting of your choice, and restart the Web server. You can find a sample of my php.ini below.

; Output buffering is a mechanism for controlling how much output data
; (excluding headers and cookies) PHP should keep internally before pushing that
; data to the client. If your application's output exceeds this setting, PHP
; will send that data in chunks of roughly the size you specify.
; Turning on this setting and managing its maximum buffer size can yield some
; interesting side-effects depending on your application and web server.
; You may be able to send headers and cookies after you've already sent output
; through print or echo. You also may see performance benefits if your server is
; emitting less packets due to buffered output versus PHP streaming the output
; as it gets it. On production servers, 4096 bytes is a good setting for performance
; reasons.
; Note: Output buffering can also be controlled via Output Buffering Control
;   functions.
; Possible Values:
;   On = Enabled and buffer is unlimited. (Use with caution)
;   Off = Disabled
;   Integer = Enables the buffer and sets its maximum size in bytes.
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to Off for the CLI SAPI
; Default Value: Off
; Development Value: 4096
; Production Value: 4096
; http://php.net/output-buffering
output_buffering = 4096

The directive output_buffering is not the only configurable directive regarding Output buffering. You can find other configurable Output buffering directives here: http://php.net/manual/en/outcontrol.configuration.php

Example: ob_get_clean()

Below you can see how to capture an echo and manipulate it before sending it to the browser.

// Turn on output buffering  
ob_start();  

echo 'Hello World';  // save to output buffer

$output = ob_get_clean();  // Get content from the output buffer, and discard the output buffer ...
$output = strtoupper($output); // manipulate the output  

echo $output;  // send to output stream / Browser

// OUTPUT:  
HELLO WORLD

Read large files in Java

This is a very good article: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/PerfTuning/

In summary, for great performance, you should:

  1. Avoid accessing the disk.
  2. Avoid accessing the underlying operating system.
  3. Avoid method calls.
  4. Avoid processing bytes and characters individually.

For example, to reduce the access to disk, you can use a large buffer. The article describes various approaches.

How to print multiple lines of text with Python

I wanted to answer to the following question which is a little bit different than this:

Best way to print messages on multiple lines

He wanted to show lines from repeated characters too. He wanted this output:

----------------------------------------
# Operator Micro-benchmarks
# Run_mode: short
# Num_repeats: 5
# Num_runs: 1000

----------------------------------------

You can create those lines inside f-strings with a multiplication, like this:

run_mode, num_repeats, num_runs = 'short', 5, 1000

s = f"""
{'-'*40}
# Operator Micro-benchmarks
# Run_mode: {run_mode}
# Num_repeats: {num_repeats}
# Num_runs: {num_runs}

{'-'*40}
"""

How do I add a newline using printf?

Try this:

printf '\n%s\n' 'I want this on a new line!'

That allows you to separate the formatting from the actual text. You can use multiple placeholders and multiple arguments.

quantity=38; price=142.15; description='advanced widget'
$ printf '%8d%10.2f  %s\n' "$quantity" "$price" "$description"
      38    142.15  advanced widget

How to correctly use the ASP.NET FileUpload control

Instead of instantiating the FileUpload in your code behind file, just declare it in your markup file (.aspx file):

<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload" runat="server" />

Then you will be able to access all of the properties of the control, such as HasFile.

Sending "User-agent" using Requests library in Python

It's more convenient to use a session, this way you don't have to remember to set headers each time:

session = requests.Session()
session.headers.update({'User-Agent': 'Custom user agent'})

session.get('https://httpbin.org/headers')

By default, session also manages cookies for you. In case you want to disable that, see this question.

Node.js/Express routing with get params

For Query parameters like domain.com/test?format=json&type=mini format, then you can easily receive it via - req.query.

xmllint support formatting in-place:

for f in *.xml; do xmllint -o $f --format $f; done

As Daniel Veillard has written:

I think xmllint -o tst.xml --format tst.xml should be safe as the parser will fully load the input into a tree before opening the output to serialize it.

Indent level is controlled by XMLLINT_INDENT environment variable which is by default 2 spaces. Example how to change indent to 4 spaces:

XMLLINT_INDENT='    '  xmllint -o out.xml --format in.xml

You may have lack with --recover option when you XML documents are broken. Or try weak HTML parser with strict XML output:

xmllint --html --xmlout <in.xml >out.xml

--nsclean, --nonet, --nocdata, --noblanks etc may be useful. Read man page.

apt-get install libxml2-utils
apt-cyg install libxml2

Python + Regex: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'

import re

htmlString = '</dd><dt> Fine, thank you.&#160;</dt><dd> Molt bé, gràcies. (<i>mohl behh, GRAH-syuhs</i>)'

SearchStr = '(\<\/dd\>\<dt\>)+ ([\w+\,\.\s]+)([\&\#\d\;]+)(\<\/dt\>\<dd\>)+ ([\w\,\s\w\s\w\?\!\.]+) (\(\<i\>)([\w\s\,\-]+)(\<\/i\>\))'

Result = re.search(SearchStr.decode('utf-8'), htmlString.decode('utf-8'), re.I | re.U)

print Result.groups()

Works that way. The expression contains non-latin characters, so it usually fails. You've got to decode into Unicode and use re.U (Unicode) flag.

I'm a beginner too and I faced that issue a couple of times myself.

changing the owner of folder in linux

Use chown to change ownership and chmod to change rights.

use the -R option to apply the rights for all files inside of a directory too.

Note that both these commands just work for directories too. The -R option makes them also change the permissions for all files and directories inside of the directory.

For example

sudo chown -R username:group directory

will change ownership (both user and group) of all files and directories inside of directory and directory itself.

sudo chown username:group directory

will only change the permission of the folder directory but will leave the files and folders inside the directory alone.

you need to use sudo to change the ownership from root to yourself.

Edit:

Note that if you use chown user: file (Note the left-out group), it will use the default group for that user.

Also You can change the group ownership of a file or directory with the command:

chgrp group_name file/directory_name

You must be a member of the group to which you are changing ownership to.

You can find group of file as follows

# ls -l file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 file

# chown sujit:friends file

User 500 is just a normal user. Typically user 500 was the first user on the system, recent changes (to /etc/login.defs) has altered the minimum user id to 1000 in many distributions, so typically 1000 is now the first (non root) user.

What you may be seeing is a system which has been upgraded from the old state to the new state and still has some processes knocking about on uid 500. You can likely change it by first checking if your distro should indeed now use 1000, and if so alter the login.defs file yourself, the renumber the user account in /etc/passwd and chown/chgrp all their files, usually in /home/, then reboot.

But in answer to your question, no, you should not really be worried about this in all likelihood. It'll be showing as "500" instead of a username because o user in /etc/passwd has a uid set of 500, that's all.

Also you can show your current numbers using id i'm willing to bet it comes back as 1000 for you.

Node.js https pem error: routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line

I faced with the problem like this.

The problem was that I added the public key without '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----' at the beginning and without '-----END PUBLIC KEY-----'.

So it causes the error.

Initially, my public key was like this:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
WnsbGUXbb0GbJSCwCBAhrzT0s2KMRyqqS7QBiIG7t3H2Qtmde6UoUIcTTPJgv71
......
oNLcaK2wKKyRdcROK7ZTSCSMsJpAFOY
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

But I used just this part:

WnsbGUXb+b0GbJSCwCBAhrzT0s2KMRyqqS7QBiIG7t3H2Qtmde6UoUIcTTPJgv71
......

How to fill the whole canvas with specific color?

We don't need to access the canvas context.

Implementing hednek in pure JS you would get canvas.setAttribute('style', 'background-color:#00F8'). But my preferred method requires converting the kabab-case to camelCase.

canvas.style.backgroundColor = '#00F8'

creating a random number using MYSQL

This should give what you want:

FLOOR(RAND() * 401) + 100

Generically, FLOOR(RAND() * (<max> - <min> + 1)) + <min> generates a number between <min> and <max> inclusive.

Update

This full statement should work:

SELECT name, address, FLOOR(RAND() * 401) + 100 AS `random_number` 
FROM users

SQL Server procedure declare a list

I've always found it easier to invert the test against the list in situations like this. For instance...

SELECT 
    field0, field1, field2 
FROM 
    my_table 
WHERE 
    ',' + @mysearchlist + ',' LIKE '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%' 

This means that there is no complicated mish-mash required for the values that you are looking for.

As an example, if our list was ('1,2,3'), then we add a comma to the start and end of our list like so: ',' + @mysearchlist + ','.

We also do the same for the field value we're looking for and add wildcards: '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%' (notice the % and the , characters).

Finally we test the two using the LIKE operator: ',' + @mysearchlist + ',' LIKE '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%'.

how to use #ifdef with an OR condition?

Like this

Is Button1 visible? I mean, from the server side. Make sure Button1.Visible is true.

Controls that aren't Visible won't be rendered in HTML, so although they are assigned a ClientID, they don't actually exist on the client side.

Returning a stream from File.OpenRead()

You forgot to reset the position of the memory stream:

private void Test()
{            
    System.IO.MemoryStream data = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    System.IO.Stream str = TestStream();

    str.CopyTo(data);
    // Reset memory stream
    data.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    byte[] buf = new byte[data.Length];
    data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);                       
}

Update:

There is one more thing to note: It usually pays not to ignore the return values of methods. A more robust implementation should check how many bytes have been read after the call returns:

private void Test()
{            
    using(MemoryStream data = new MemoryStream())
    {
        using(Stream str = TestStream())
        {
           str.CopyTo(data);
        }
        // Reset memory stream
        data.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        byte[] buf = new byte[data.Length];
        int bytesRead = data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);

        Debug.Assert(bytesRead == data.Length, 
                    String.Format("Expected to read {0} bytes, but read {1}.",
                        data.Length, bytesRead));
    }                     
}

How can I recognize touch events using jQuery in Safari for iPad? Is it possible?

Core jQuery doesn't have anything special for touch events, but you can easily build your own using the following events

  • touchstart
  • touchmove
  • touchend
  • touchcancel

For example, the touchmove

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var touch = e.touches[0];
    alert(touch.pageX + " - " + touch.pageY);
}, false);

This works in most WebKit based browsers (incl. Android).

Here is some good documentation.

IIS7 Cache-Control

If you want to set the Cache-Control header, there's nothing in the IIS7 UI to do this, sadly.

You can however drop this web.config in the root of the folder or site where you want to set it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="7.00:00:00" />
    </staticContent>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

That will inform the client to cache content for 7 days in that folder and all subfolders.

You can also do this by editing the IIS7 metabase via appcmd.exe, like so:

\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe 
  set config "Default Web Site/folder" 
  -section:system.webServer/staticContent 
  -clientCache.cacheControlMode:UseMaxAge

\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe 
  set config "Default Web Site/folder" 
  -section:system.webServer/staticContent 
  -clientCache.cacheControlMaxAge:"7.00:00:00"

Align button to the right

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row">
    <h3 class="one">Text</h3>

</div>

.ml-auto is Bootstraph 4's non-flexbox way of aligning things.

CSV with comma or semicolon?

CSV is a standard format, outlined in RFC 4180 (in 2005), so there IS no lack of a standard. https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt

And even before that, the C in CSV has always stood for Comma, not for semiColon :(

It's a pity Microsoft keeps ignoring that and is still sticking to the monstrosity they turned it into decades ago (yes, I admit, that was before the RFC was created).

  • One record per line, unless a newline occurs within quoted text (see below).
  • COMMA as column separator. Never a semicolon.
  • PERIOD as decimal point in numbers. Never a comma.
  • Text containing commas, periods and/or newlines enclosed in "double quotation marks".
  • Only if text is enclosed in double quotation marks, such quotations marks in the text escaped by doubling. These examples represent the same three fields:

    1,"this text contains ""quotation marks""",3

    1,this text contains "quotation marks",3

The standard does not cover date and time values, personally I try to stick to ISO 8601 format to avoid day/month/year -- month/day/year confusion.

Can there be an apostrophe in an email address?

Yes, according to RFC 3696 apostrophes are valid as long as they come before the @ symbol.

How to compare two strings are equal in value, what is the best method?

Not forgetting

if you're not worried about that sort of thing...

Keep only date part when using pandas.to_datetime

Simple Solution:

df['date_only'] = df['date_time_column'].dt.date

Position last flex item at the end of container

This flexbox principle also works horizontally

During calculations of flex bases and flexible lengths, auto margins are treated as 0.
Prior to alignment via justify-content and align-self, any positive free space is distributed to auto margins in that dimension.

Setting an automatic left margin for the Last Item will do the work.

.last-item {
  margin-left: auto;
}

Code Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.container {_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  width: 400px;_x000D_
  outline: 1px solid black;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
p {_x000D_
  height: 50px;_x000D_
  width: 50px;_x000D_
  margin: 5px;_x000D_
  background-color: blue;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.last-item {_x000D_
  margin-left: auto;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="container">_x000D_

ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence

In my case, the problem was another. I was trying convert lists of lists of int to array. The problem was that there was one list with a different length than others. If you want to prove it, you must do:

In my case, the length reference was 560.

What is the difference between Hibernate and Spring Data JPA

Spring Data is a convenience library on top of JPA that abstracts away many things and brings Spring magic (like it or not) to the persistence store access. It is primarily used for working with relational databases. In short, it allows you to declare interfaces that have methods like findByNameOrderByAge(String name); that will be parsed in runtime and converted into appropriate JPA queries.

Its placement atop of JPA makes its use tempting for:

  1. Rookie developers who don't know SQL or know it badly. This is a recipe for disaster but they can get away with it if the project is trivial.

  2. Experienced engineers who know what they do and want to spindle up things fast. This might be a viable strategy (but read further).

From my experience with Spring Data, its magic is too much (this is applicable to Spring in general). I started to use it heavily in one project and eventually hit several corner cases where I couldn't get the library out of my way and ended up with ugly workarounds. Later I read other users' complaints and realized that these issues are typical for Spring Data. For example, check this issue that led to hours of investigation/swearing:

 public TourAccommodationRate createTourAccommodationRate(
        @RequestBody TourAccommodationRate tourAccommodationRate
    ) {
        if (tourAccommodationRate.getId() != null) {
            throw new BadRequestException("id MUST NOT be specified in a body during entry creation");
        }

        // This is an ugly hack required for the Room slim model to work. The problem stems from the fact that
        // when we send a child entity having the many-to-many (M:N) relation to the containing entity, its
        // information is not fetched. As a result, we get NPEs when trying to access all but its Id in the
        // code creating the corresponding slim model. By detaching the entity from the persistence context we
        // force the ORM to re-fetch it from the database instead of taking it from the cache

        tourAccommodationRateRepository.save(tourAccommodationRate);
        entityManager.detach(tourAccommodationRate);
        return tourAccommodationRateRepository.findOne(tourAccommodationRate.getId());
    }

I ended up going lower level and started using JDBI - a nice library with just enough "magic" to save you from the boilerplate. With it, you have complete control over SQL queries and almost never have to fight the library.

Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page including the primary key in an unpivot

None of the above worked for me. I SOLVED my problem by saving my source data (save as) Excel file as a single xls Worksheet Excel 5.0/95 and imported without column headings. Also, I created the table in advance and mapped manually instead of letting SQL create the table.

Node.js Port 3000 already in use but it actually isn't?

I was using express server with nodemon on NodeJS. I got the following message and it seems an error:

There is a general solution that if you terminate all node server connections, you can add this code in your package.json file:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node ./bin/www",
    "stop": "taskkill -f -im node.exe"
},

In addition, I've found several solutions windows command and bash on Win 10 x64.

Printing the last column of a line in a file

awk -F " " '($1=="A1") {print $NF}' FILE | tail -n 1

Use awk with field separator -F set to a space " ".

Use the pattern $1=="A1" and action {print $NF}, this will print the last field in every record where the first field is "A1". Pipe the result into tail and use the -n 1 option to only show the last line.

How can I determine whether a specific file is open in Windows?

If you right-click on your "Computer" (or "My Computer") icon and select "Manage" from the pop-up menu, that'll take you to the Computer Management console.

In there, under System Tools\Shared Folders, you'll find "Open Files". This is probably close to what you want, but if the file is on a network share then you'd need to do the same thing on the server on which the file lives.

UTF-8 encoding problem in Spring MVC

I found that "@RequestMapping produces=" and other configuration changes didn't help me. By the time you do resp.getWriter(), it is also too late to set the encoding on the writer.

Fluid or fixed grid system, in responsive design, based on Twitter Bootstrap

Fluid layout in Bootstrap 3.

Unlike Boostrap 2, Bootstrap 3 doesn't have a .container-fluid mixin to make a fluid container. The .container is a fixed width responsive grid layout. In a large screen, there are excessive white spaces in both sides of one's Web page content.

container-fluid is added back in Bootstrap 3.1

A fluid grid layout uses all screen width and works better in large screen. It turns out that it is easy to create a fluid grid layout using Bootstrap 3 mixins. The following line makes a fluid responsive grid layout:

.container-fixed;

The .container-fixed mixin sets the content to the center of the screen and add paddings. It doesn't specifies a fixed page width.

Another approach is to use Eric Flowers' CSS style

.my-fluid-container {
    padding-left: 15px;
    padding-right: 15px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

How to add footnotes to GitHub-flavoured Markdown?

GitHub Flavored Markdown doesn't support footnotes, but you can manually fake it¹ with Unicode characters or superscript tags, e.g. <sup>1</sup>.

Inserting NOW() into Database with CodeIgniter's Active Record

I typically use triggers to handle timestamps but I think this may work.

$data = array(
    'name' => $name,
    'email' => $email
);

$this->db->set('time', 'NOW()', FALSE);
$this->db->insert('mytable', $data);

Get immediate first child element

Both these will give you the first child node:

console.log(parentElement.firstChild); // or
console.log(parentElement.childNodes[0]);

If you need the first child that is an element node then use:

console.log(parentElement.children[0]);

Edit

Ah, I see your problem now; parentElement is an array.

If you know that getElementsByClassName will only return one result, which it seems you do, you should use [0] to dearray (yes, I made that word up) the element:

var parentElement = document.getElementsByClassName("uniqueClassName")[0];

How do I get the file name from a String containing the Absolute file path?

You can use FileInfo object to get all information of your file.

    MessageBox.Show(f.FullName);
    MessageBox.Show(f.Extension );
    MessageBox.Show(f.DirectoryName);

jQuery: go to URL with target="_blank"

If you want to create the popup window through jQuery then you'll need to use a plugin. This one seems like it will do what you want:

http://rip747.github.com/popupwindow/

Alternately, you can always use JavaScript's window.open function.

Note that with either approach, the new window must be opened in response to user input/action (so for instance, a click on a link or button). Otherwise the browser's popup blocker will just block the popup.

Efficiently convert rows to columns in sql server

There are several ways that you can transform data from multiple rows into columns.

Using PIVOT

In SQL Server you can use the PIVOT function to transform the data from rows to columns:

select Firstname, Amount, PostalCode, LastName, AccountNumber
from
(
  select value, columnname
  from yourtable
) d
pivot
(
  max(value)
  for columnname in (Firstname, Amount, PostalCode, LastName, AccountNumber)
) piv;

See Demo.

Pivot with unknown number of columnnames

If you have an unknown number of columnnames that you want to transpose, then you can use dynamic SQL:

DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(ColumnName) 
                    from yourtable
                    group by ColumnName, id
                    order by id
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
        ,1,1,'')

set @query = N'SELECT ' + @cols + N' from 
             (
                select value, ColumnName
                from yourtable
            ) x
            pivot 
            (
                max(value)
                for ColumnName in (' + @cols + N')
            ) p '

exec sp_executesql @query;

See Demo.

Using an aggregate function

If you do not want to use the PIVOT function, then you can use an aggregate function with a CASE expression:

select
  max(case when columnname = 'FirstName' then value end) Firstname,
  max(case when columnname = 'Amount' then value end) Amount,
  max(case when columnname = 'PostalCode' then value end) PostalCode,
  max(case when columnname = 'LastName' then value end) LastName,
  max(case when columnname = 'AccountNumber' then value end) AccountNumber
from yourtable

See Demo.

Using multiple joins

This could also be completed using multiple joins, but you will need some column to associate each of the rows which you do not have in your sample data. But the basic syntax would be:

select fn.value as FirstName,

How can I modify the size of column in a MySQL table?

ALTER TABLE <tablename> CHANGE COLUMN <colname> <colname> VARCHAR(65536);

You have to list the column name twice, even if you aren't changing its name.

Note that after you make this change, the data type of the column will be MEDIUMTEXT.


Miky D is correct, the MODIFY command can do this more concisely.


Re the MEDIUMTEXT thing: a MySQL row can be only 65535 bytes (not counting BLOB/TEXT columns). If you try to change a column to be too large, making the total size of the row 65536 or greater, you may get an error. If you try to declare a column of VARCHAR(65536) then it's too large even if it's the only column in that table, so MySQL automatically converts it to a MEDIUMTEXT data type.

mysql> create table foo (str varchar(300));
mysql> alter table foo modify str varchar(65536);
mysql> show create table foo;
CREATE TABLE `foo` (
  `str` mediumtext
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I misread your original question, you want VARCHAR(65353), which MySQL can do, as long as that column size summed with the other columns in the table doesn't exceed 65535.

mysql> create table foo (str1 varchar(300), str2 varchar(300));
mysql> alter table foo modify str2 varchar(65353);
ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. 
The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. 
You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs

How to change the ROOT application?

the context.xml configuration didn't work for me. Tomcat 6.0.29 complains about the docBase being inside the appBase: ... For Tomcat 5 this did actually work.

So one solution is to put the application in the ROOT folder.

Another very simple solution is to put an index.jsp to ROOT that redirects to my application like this: response.sendRedirect("/MyApplicationXy");

laravel the requested url was not found on this server

This looks like you have to enable .htaccess by adding this to your vhost:

<Directory /var/www/html/public/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

If that doesn't work, make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled.

Don't forget to restart apache after making the changes! (service apache2 restart)

Chmod recursively

Give 0777 to all files and directories starting from the current path :

chmod -R 0777 ./

Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.59 3.2.25 4.0.30 4.1.32 4.2.40 4.2.42 4.3.23 4.4.52 5.0.77 5.0.89 5.2.08 6.1.11 6.1.71 6.5.87

In addition to installing the repository and the SDK packages one should be aware that the version number changes periodically. A simple solution at this point is to replace the specific version number with a plus (+) symbol.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

Google instructions indicate that one should be sure to upgrade the version numbers, however adding the plus deals with the changes in versioning. Also note that when building in Android Studio a message will appear in the status line when a new version is available.

One can view the available versions of play services by drilling down on the correct repository path:

play-services repository path

Angular 2: import external js file into component

Ideally you need to have .d.ts file for typings to let Linting work.

But It seems that d3gauge doesn't have one, you can Ask the developers to provide and hope they will listen.


Alternatively, you can solve this specific issue by doing this

declare var drawGauge: any;

import '../../../../js/d3gauge.js';
export class MemMonComponent {
    createMemGauge() {
        new drawGauge(this.opt);  //drawGauge() is a function inside d3gauge.js
    }
}

If you use it in multiple files, you can create a d3gauage.d.ts file with the content below

declare var drawGauge: any;

and reference it in your boot.ts (bootstrap) file at the top, like this

///<reference path="../path/to/d3gauage.d.ts"/>

The entity type <type> is not part of the model for the current context

For me the issue was that I used the connection string generated by ADO.Net Model (.edmx). Changing the connection string solved my issue.

How to send a POST request in Go?

I know this is old but this answer came up in search results. For the next guy - the proposed and accepted answer works, however the code initially submitted in the question is lower-level than it needs to be. Nobody got time for that.

response, err := http.PostForm(APIURL, url.Values{
    "ln": {c.ln},
    "ip": {c.ip},
    "ua": {c.ua}})

//okay, moving on...
if err != nil {
  //handle postform error

defer response.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body)

if err != nil {
  //handle read response error

Format ints into string of hex

The most recent and in my opinion preferred approach is the f-string:

''.join(f'{i:02x}' for i in [1, 15, 255])

Format options

The old format style was the %-syntax:

['%02x'%i for i in [1, 15, 255]]

The more modern approach is the .format method:

 ['{:02x}'.format(i) for i in [1, 15, 255]]

More recently, from python 3.6 upwards we were treated to the f-string syntax:

[f'{i:02x}' for i in [1, 15, 255]]

Format syntax

Note that the f'{i:02x}' works as follows.

  • The first part before : is the input or variable to format.
  • The x indicates that the string should be hex. f'{100:02x}' is '64' and f'{100:02d}' is '1001'.
  • The 02 indicates that the string should be left-filled with 0's to length 2. f'{100:02x}' is '64' and f'{100:30x}' is ' 64'.

How to check empty DataTable

Normally when querying a database with SQL and then fill a data-table with its results, it will never be a null Data table. You have the column headers filled with column information even if you returned 0 records.When one tried to process a data table with 0 records but with column information it will throw exception.To check the datatable before processing one could check like this.

if (DetailTable != null && DetailTable.Rows.Count>0)

check output from CalledProcessError

I ran into the same problem and found that the documentation has example for this type of scenario (where we write STDERR TO STDOUT and always exit successfully with return code 0) without causing/catching an exception.

output = subprocess.check_output("ping -c 2 -W 2 1.1.1.1; exit 0", stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)

Now, you can use standard string function find to check the output string output.

For Idea 2017.1 + Gradle, the plugin is somehow buggy. Tried all synchronize, invalidate + restart, nothing worked. According to https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/2315, this worked for me: 1. Close Idea 2. Type gradle idea in command line (should generate 3 files: .iml, .ipr, .iws) 3. Run idea and open the created file .ipr, this should import your project from scratch, with hard-wired dependencies in those 3 files

How to write a file or data to an S3 object using boto3

In boto 3, the 'Key.set_contents_from_' methods were replaced by

For example:

import boto3

some_binary_data = b'Here we have some data'
more_binary_data = b'Here we have some more data'

# Method 1: Object.put()
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
object = s3.Object('my_bucket_name', 'my/key/including/filename.txt')
object.put(Body=some_binary_data)

# Method 2: Client.put_object()
client = boto3.client('s3')
client.put_object(Body=more_binary_data, Bucket='my_bucket_name', Key='my/key/including/anotherfilename.txt')

Alternatively, the binary data can come from reading a file, as described in the official docs comparing boto 2 and boto 3:

Storing Data

Storing data from a file, stream, or string is easy:

# Boto 2.x
from boto.s3.key import Key
key = Key('hello.txt')
key.set_contents_from_file('/tmp/hello.txt')

# Boto 3
s3.Object('mybucket', 'hello.txt').put(Body=open('/tmp/hello.txt', 'rb'))

How do I wrap text in a span?

Wrapping can be done in various ways. I'll mention 2 of them:

1.) text wrapping - using white-space property http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_white-space.asp

2.) word wrapping - using word-wrap property http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/word-wrap-force-text-to-wrap

By the way, in order to work using these 2 approaches, I believe you need to set the "display" property to block of the corresponding span element.

However, as Kirill already mentioned, it's a good idea to think about it for a moment. You're talking about forcing the text into a paragraph. PARAGRAPH. That should ring some bells in your head, shouldn't it? ;)

how to generate web service out of wsdl

You cannot guarantee that the automatically-generated WSDL will match the WSDL from which you create the service interface.

In your scenario, you should place the WSDL file on your web site somewhere, and have consumers use that URL. You should disable the Documentation protocol in the web.config so that "?wsdl" does not return a WSDL. See <protocols> Element.

Also, note the first paragraph of that article:

This topic is specific to a legacy technology. XML Web services and XML Web service clients should now be created using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Removing duplicates from a list of lists

>>> k = [[1, 2], [4], [5, 6, 2], [1, 2], [3], [4]]
>>> import itertools
>>> k.sort()
>>> list(k for k,_ in itertools.groupby(k))
[[1, 2], [3], [4], [5, 6, 2]]

itertools often offers the fastest and most powerful solutions to this kind of problems, and is well worth getting intimately familiar with!-)

Edit: as I mention in a comment, normal optimization efforts are focused on large inputs (the big-O approach) because it's so much easier that it offers good returns on efforts. But sometimes (essentially for "tragically crucial bottlenecks" in deep inner loops of code that's pushing the boundaries of performance limits) one may need to go into much more detail, providing probability distributions, deciding which performance measures to optimize (maybe the upper bound or the 90th centile is more important than an average or median, depending on one's apps), performing possibly-heuristic checks at the start to pick different algorithms depending on input data characteristics, and so forth.

Careful measurements of "point" performance (code A vs code B for a specific input) are a part of this extremely costly process, and standard library module timeit helps here. However, it's easier to use it at a shell prompt. For example, here's a short module to showcase the general approach for this problem, save it as nodup.py:

import itertools

k = [[1, 2], [4], [5, 6, 2], [1, 2], [3], [4]]

def doset(k, map=map, list=list, set=set, tuple=tuple):
  return map(list, set(map(tuple, k)))

def dosort(k, sorted=sorted, xrange=xrange, len=len):
  ks = sorted(k)
  return [ks[i] for i in xrange(len(ks)) if i == 0 or ks[i] != ks[i-1]]

def dogroupby(k, sorted=sorted, groupby=itertools.groupby, list=list):
  ks = sorted(k)
  return [i for i, _ in itertools.groupby(ks)]

def donewk(k):
  newk = []
  for i in k:
    if i not in newk:
      newk.append(i)
  return newk

# sanity check that all functions compute the same result and don't alter k
if __name__ == '__main__':
  savek = list(k)
  for f in doset, dosort, dogroupby, donewk:
    resk = f(k)
    assert k == savek
    print '%10s %s' % (f.__name__, sorted(resk))

Note the sanity check (performed when you just do python nodup.py) and the basic hoisting technique (make constant global names local to each function for speed) to put things on equal footing.

Now we can run checks on the tiny example list:

$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.doset(nodup.k)'
100000 loops, best of 3: 11.7 usec per loop
$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.dosort(nodup.k)'
100000 loops, best of 3: 9.68 usec per loop
$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.dogroupby(nodup.k)'
100000 loops, best of 3: 8.74 usec per loop
$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.donewk(nodup.k)'
100000 loops, best of 3: 4.44 usec per loop

confirming that the quadratic approach has small-enough constants to make it attractive for tiny lists with few duplicated values. With a short list without duplicates:

$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.donewk([[i] for i in range(12)])'
10000 loops, best of 3: 25.4 usec per loop
$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.dogroupby([[i] for i in range(12)])'
10000 loops, best of 3: 23.7 usec per loop
$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.doset([[i] for i in range(12)])'
10000 loops, best of 3: 31.3 usec per loop
$ python -mtimeit -s'import nodup' 'nodup.dosort([[i] for i in range(12)])'
10000 loops, best of 3: 25 usec per loop

the quadratic approach isn't bad, but the sort and groupby ones are better. Etc, etc.

If (as the obsession with performance suggests) this operation is at a core inner loop of your pushing-the-boundaries application, it's worth trying the same set of tests on other representative input samples, possibly detecting some simple measure that could heuristically let you pick one or the other approach (but the measure must be fast, of course).

It's also well worth considering keeping a different representation for k -- why does it have to be a list of lists rather than a set of tuples in the first place? If the duplicate removal task is frequent, and profiling shows it to be the program's performance bottleneck, keeping a set of tuples all the time and getting a list of lists from it only if and where needed, might be faster overall, for example.

How to check if a python module exists without importing it

I wrote this helper function:

def is_module_available(module_name):
    if sys.version_info < (3, 0):
        # python 2
        import importlib
        torch_loader = importlib.find_loader(module_name)
    elif sys.version_info <= (3, 3):
        # python 3.0 to 3.3
        import pkgutil
        torch_loader = pkgutil.find_loader(module_name)
    elif sys.version_info >= (3, 4):
        # python 3.4 and above
        import importlib
        torch_loader = importlib.util.find_spec(module_name)

    return torch_loader is not None

iOS 7 status bar overlapping UI

In MainViewController.m inside: - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated add this:

//Lower screen 20px on ios 7
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
        CGRect viewBounds = [self.webView bounds];
        viewBounds.origin.y = 18;
        viewBounds.size.height = viewBounds.size.height - 18;
        self.webView.frame = viewBounds;
    }

so the end function will look like this:


- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    // View defaults to full size.  If you want to customize the view's size, or its subviews (e.g. webView),
    // you can do so here.
    //Lower screen 20px on ios 7
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
        CGRect viewBounds = [self.webView bounds];
        viewBounds.origin.y = 18;
        viewBounds.size.height = viewBounds.size.height - 18;
        self.webView.frame = viewBounds;
    }
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

How to create a collapsing tree table in html/css/js?

You can try jQuery treegrid (http://maxazan.github.io/jquery-treegrid/) or jQuery treetable (http://ludo.cubicphuse.nl/jquery-treetable/)

Both are using HTML <table> tag format and styled the as tree.

The jQuery treetable is using data-tt-id and data-tt-parent-id for determining the parent and child of the tree. Usage example:

<table id="tree">
  <tr data-tt-id="1">
    <td>Parent</td>
  </tr>
  <tr data-tt-id="2" data-tt-parent-id="1">
    <td>Child</td>
  </tr>
</table>
$("#tree").treetable({ expandable: true });

Meanwhile, jQuery treegrid is using only class for styling the tree. Usage example:

<table class="tree">
    <tr class="treegrid-1">
        <td>Root node</td><td>Additional info</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="treegrid-2 treegrid-parent-1">
        <td>Node 1-1</td><td>Additional info</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="treegrid-3 treegrid-parent-1">
        <td>Node 1-2</td><td>Additional info</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="treegrid-4 treegrid-parent-3">
        <td>Node 1-2-1</td><td>Additional info</td>
    </tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $('.tree').treegrid();
</script>

Using $window or $location to Redirect in AngularJS

It seems that for full page reload $window.location.href is the preferred way.

It does not cause a full page reload when the browser URL is changed. To reload the page after changing the URL, use the lower-level API, $window.location.href.

What's the most efficient way to erase duplicates and sort a vector?

The standard approach suggested by Nate Kohl, just using vector, sort + unique:

sort( vec.begin(), vec.end() );
vec.erase( unique( vec.begin(), vec.end() ), vec.end() );

doesn't work for a vector of pointers.

Look carefully at this example on cplusplus.com.

In their example, the "so called duplicates" moved to the end are actually shown as ? (undefined values), because those "so called duplicates" are SOMETIMES "extra elements" and SOMETIMES there are "missing elements" that were in the original vector.

A problem occurs when using std::unique() on a vector of pointers to objects (memory leaks, bad read of data from HEAP, duplicate frees, which cause segmentation faults, etc).

Here's my solution to the problem: replace std::unique() with ptgi::unique().

See the file ptgi_unique.hpp below:

// ptgi::unique()
//
// Fix a problem in std::unique(), such that none of the original elts in the collection are lost or duplicate.
// ptgi::unique() has the same interface as std::unique()
//
// There is the 2 argument version which calls the default operator== to compare elements.
//
// There is the 3 argument version, which you can pass a user defined functor for specialized comparison.
//
// ptgi::unique() is an improved version of std::unique() which doesn't looose any of the original data
// in the collection, nor does it create duplicates.
//
// After ptgi::unique(), every old element in the original collection is still present in the re-ordered collection,
// except that duplicates have been moved to a contiguous range [dupPosition, last) at the end.
//
// Thus on output:
//  [begin, dupPosition) range are unique elements.
//  [dupPosition, last) range are duplicates which can be removed.
// where:
//  [] means inclusive, and
//  () means exclusive.
//
// In the original std::unique() non-duplicates at end are moved downward toward beginning.
// In the improved ptgi:unique(), non-duplicates at end are swapped with duplicates near beginning.
//
// In addition if you have a collection of ptrs to objects, the regular std::unique() will loose memory,
// and can possibly delete the same pointer multiple times (leading to SEGMENTATION VIOLATION on Linux machines)
// but ptgi::unique() won't.  Use valgrind(1) to find such memory leak problems!!!
//
// NOTE: IF you have a vector of pointers, that is, std::vector<Object*>, then upon return from ptgi::unique()
// you would normally do the following to get rid of the duplicate objects in the HEAP:
//
//  // delete objects from HEAP
//  std::vector<Object*> objects;
//  for (iter = dupPosition; iter != objects.end(); ++iter)
//  {
//      delete (*iter);
//  }
//
//  // shrink the vector. But Object * pointers are NOT followed for duplicate deletes, this shrinks the vector.size())
//  objects.erase(dupPosition, objects.end));
//
// NOTE: But if you have a vector of objects, that is: std::vector<Object>, then upon return from ptgi::unique(), it
// suffices to just call vector:erase(, as erase will automatically call delete on each object in the
// [dupPosition, end) range for you:
//
//  std::vector<Object> objects;
//  objects.erase(dupPosition, last);
//
//==========================================================================================================
// Example of differences between std::unique() vs ptgi::unique().
//
//  Given:
//      int data[] = {10, 11, 21};
//
//  Given this functor: ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen:
//      A functor which compares two integers a[i] and a[j] in an int a[] array, after division by 10:
//  
//  // given an int data[] array, remove consecutive duplicates from it.
//  // functor used for std::unique (BUGGY) or ptgi::unique(IMPROVED)
//
//  // Two numbers equal if, when divided by 10 (integer division), the quotients are the same.
//  // Hence 50..59 are equal, 60..69 are equal, etc.
//  struct ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen: public std::equal_to<int>
//  {
//      bool operator() (const int& arg1, const int& arg2) const
//      {
//          return ((arg1/10) == (arg2/10));
//      }
//  };
//  
//  Now, if we call (problematic) std::unique( data, data+3, ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen() );
//  
//  TEST1: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,11,21
//  TEST1: AFTER UNIQ: 10,21,21
//  DUP_INX=2
//  
//      PROBLEM: 11 is lost, and extra 21 has been added.
//  
//  More complicated example:
//  
//  TEST2: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,20,21,22,30,31,23,24,11
//  TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,23,24,11
//  DUP_INX=5
//  
//      Problem: 21 and 22 are deleted.
//      Problem: 11 and 23 are duplicated.
//  
//  
//  NOW if ptgi::unique is called instead of std::unique, both problems go away:
//  
//  DEBUG: TEST1: NEW_WAY=1
//  TEST1: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,11,21
//  TEST1: AFTER UNIQ: 10,21,11
//  DUP_INX=2
//  
//  DEBUG: TEST2: NEW_WAY=1
//  TEST2: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,20,21,22,30,31,23,24,11
//  TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,22,24,21
//  DUP_INX=5
//
//  @SEE: look at the "case study" below to understand which the last "AFTER UNIQ" results with that order:
//  TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,22,24,21
//
//==========================================================================================================
// Case Study: how ptgi::unique() works:
//  Remember we "remove adjacent duplicates".
//  In this example, the input is NOT fully sorted when ptgi:unique() is called.

//  I put | separatators, BEFORE UNIQ to illustrate this
//  10  | 20,21,22 |  30,31 |  23,24 | 11
//
//  In example above, 20, 21, 22 are "same" since dividing by 10 gives 2 quotient.
//  And 30,31 are "same", since /10 quotient is 3.
//  And 23, 24 are same, since /10 quotient is 2.
//  And 11 is "group of one" by itself.
//  So there are 5 groups, but the 4th group (23, 24) happens to be equal to group 2 (20, 21, 22)
//  So there are 5 groups, and the 5th group (11) is equal to group 1 (10)

//       R

//
//  Now we hits the "optimized out swap logic".
//  (avoid swap because R == F)
//
//  // now bump F until R != F (integer division by 10)

//       R           F          // 20 != 30, so we do a swap of ++R and F
//  (Now first hits 21, 22, then finally 30, which is different than R, so we swap bump R to 21 and swap with  30)
//  10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11  // after R & F swap (21 and 30)

Vue Js - Loop via v-for X times (in a range)

I have solved it with Dov Benjamin's help like that:

<ul>
  <li v-for="(n,index) in 2">{{ object.price }}</li>
</ul>

And another method, for both V1.x and 2.x of vue.js

Vue 1:

<p v-for="item in items | limitBy 10">{{ item }}</p>

Vue2:

// Via slice method in computed prop

<p v-for="item in filteredItems">{{ item }}</p>

computed: {
   filteredItems: function () {
     return this.items.slice(0, 10)
     }
  }

Polymorphism vs Overriding vs Overloading

The classic example, Dogs and cats are animals, animals have the method makeNoise. I can iterate through an array of animals calling makeNoise on them and expect that they would do there respective implementation.

The calling code does not have to know what specific animal they are.

Thats what I think of as polymorphism.

Xcode Debugger: view value of variable

Also you can:

  1. Set a breakpoint to pause the execution.
  2. The object must be inside the execution scope
  3. Move the mouse pointer over the object or variable
  4. A yellow tooltip will appear
  5. Move the mouse over the tooltip
  6. Click over the two little arrows pointing up and down
  7. A context menu will pop up
  8. Select "Print Description", it will execute a [object description]
  9. The description will appear in the console's output

IMHO a little bit hidden and cumbersome...

Deleting an element from an array in PHP

I came here because I wanted to see if there was a more elegant solution to this problem than using unset($arr[$i]). To my disappointment these answers are either wrong or do not cover every edge case.

Here is why array_diff() does not work. Keys are unique in the array, while elements are not always unique.

$arr = [1,2,2,3];

foreach($arr as $i => $n){
    $b = array_diff($arr,[$n]);
    echo "\n".json_encode($b);
}

Results...

[2,2,3]
[1,3]
[1,2,2] 

If two elements are the same they will be remove. This also applies for array_search() and array_flip().

I saw a lot of answers with array_slice() and array_splice(), but these functions only work with numeric arrays. All the answers I am aware if here does not answer the question, and so here is a solution that will work.

$arr = [1,2,3];

foreach($arr as $i => $n){
    $b = array_merge(array_slice($arr,0,$i),array_slice($arr,$i+1));
    echo "\n".json_encode($b);
}

Results...

[2,3];
[1,3];
[1,2];

Since unset($arr[$i]) will work on both associative array and numeric arrays this still does not answer the question.

This solution is to compare the keys and with a tool that will handle both numeric and associative arrays. I use array_diff_uassoc() for this. This function compares the keys in a call back function.

$arr = [1,2,2,3];
//$arr = ['a'=>'z','b'=>'y','c'=>'x','d'=>'w'];
foreach($arr as $key => $n){
    $b = array_diff_uassoc($arr, [$key=>$n], function($a,$b) {
        if($a != $b){
            return 1;
        }
    });
    echo "\n".json_encode($b);
}    

Results.....

[2,2,3];
[1,2,3];
[1,2,2];

['b'=>'y','c'=>'x','d'=>'w'];
['a'=>'z','c'=>'x','d'=>'w'];
['a'=>'z','b'=>'y','d'=>'w'];
['a'=>'z','b'=>'y','c'=>'x'];

twitter bootstrap navbar fixed top overlapping site

use this class inside nav tag

class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light sticky-top"

For bootstrap 4

Why does JS code "var a = document.querySelector('a[data-a=1]');" cause error?

Because you need parentheses around the value your looking for. So here : document.querySelector('a[data-a="1"]')

If you don't know in advance the value but is looking for it via variable you can use template literals :

Say we have divs with data-price

<div data-price="99">My okay price</div>
<div data-price="100">My too expensive price</div>

We want to find an element but with the number that someone chose (so we don't know it):

// User chose 99    
let chosenNumber = 99
document.querySelector(`[data-price="${chosenNumber}"`]

Get user location by IP address

You'll probably have to use an external API, most of which cost money.

I did find this though, seems to be free: http://hostip.info/use.html

How to get the current time in Python

Method1: Getting Current Date and Time from system datetime

The datetime module supplies classes for manipulating dates and times.

Code

from datetime import datetime,date

print("Date: "+str(date.today().year)+"-"+str(date.today().month)+"-"+str(date.today().day))
print("Year: "+str(date.today().year))
print("Month: "+str(date.today().month))
print("Day: "+str(date.today().day)+"\n")

print("Time: "+str(datetime.today().hour)+":"+str(datetime.today().minute)+":"+str(datetime.today().second))
print("Hour: "+str(datetime.today().hour))
print("Minute: "+str(datetime.today().minute))
print("Second: "+str(datetime.today().second))
print("MilliSecond: "+str(datetime.today().microsecond))

Output will be like

Date: 2020-4-18
Year: 2020
Month: 4
Day: 18

Time: 19:30:5
Hour: 19
Minute: 30
Second: 5
MilliSecond: 836071

Method2: Getting Current Date and Time if Network is available

urllib package helps us to handle the url's that means webpages. Here we collects data from the webpage http://just-the-time.appspot.com/ and parses dateime from the webpage using the package dateparser.

Code

from urllib.request import urlopen
import dateparser

time_url = urlopen(u'http://just-the-time.appspot.com/')
datetime = time_url.read().decode("utf-8", errors="ignore").split(' ')[:-1]
date = datetime[0]
time = datetime[1]

print("Date: "+str(date))
print("Year: "+str(date.split('-')[0]))
print("Month: "+str(date.split('-')[1]))
print("Day: "+str(date.split('-')[2])+'\n')

print("Time: "+str(time))
print("Hour: "+str(time.split(':')[0]))
print("Minute: "+str(time.split(':')[1]))
print("Second: "+str(time.split(':')[2]))

Output will be like

Date: 2020-04-18
Year: 2020
Month: 04
Day: 18

Time: 14:17:10
Hour: 14
Minute: 17
Second: 10

Method3: Getting Current Date and Time from Local Time of the Machine

Python's time module provides a function for getting local time from the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch called localtime(). ctime() function takes seconds passed since epoch as an argument and returns a string representing local time.

Code

from time import time, ctime
datetime = ctime(time()).split(' ')

print("Date: "+str(datetime[4])+"-"+str(datetime[1])+"-"+str(datetime[2]))
print("Year: "+str(datetime[4]))
print("Month: "+str(datetime[1]))
print("Day: "+str(datetime[2]))
print("Week Day: "+str(datetime[0])+'\n')

print("Time: "+str(datetime[3]))
print("Hour: "+str(datetime[3]).split(':')[0])
print("Minute: "+str(datetime[3]).split(':')[1])
print("Second: "+str(datetime[3]).split(':')[2])

Output will be like

Date: 2020-Apr-18
Year: 2020
Month: Apr
Day: 18
Week Day: Sat

Time: 19:30:20
Hour: 19
Minute: 30
Second: 20

Git mergetool generates unwanted .orig files

You have to be a little careful with using kdiff3 as while git mergetool can be configured to save a .orig file during merging, the default behaviour for kdiff3 is to also save a .orig backup file independently of git mergetool.

You have to make sure that mergetool backup is off:

git config --global mergetool.keepBackup false

and also that kdiff3's settings are set to not create a backup:

Configure/Options => Directory Merge => Backup Files (*.orig)

Egit rejected non-fast-forward

In the meantime (while you were updating your project), other commits have been made to the 'master' branch. Therefore, you must pull those changes first to be able to push your changes.

Codeigniter: does $this->db->last_query(); execute a query?

The query execution happens on all get methods like

$this->db->get('table_name');
$this->db->get_where('table_name',$array);

While last_query contains the last query which was run

$this->db->last_query();

If you want to get query string without execution you will have to do this. Go to system/database/DB_active_rec.php Remove public or protected keyword from these functions

public function _compile_select($select_override = FALSE)
public function _reset_select()

Now you can write query and get it in a variable

$this->db->select('trans_id');
$this->db->from('myTable');
$this->db->where('code','B');
$subQuery = $this->db->_compile_select();

Now reset query so if you want to write another query the object will be cleared.

$this->db->_reset_select();

And the thing is done. Cheers!!! Note : While using this way you must use

$this->db->from('myTable')

instead of

$this->db->get('myTable')

which runs the query.

Take a look at this example

How to find if an array contains a string

I'm afraid I don't think there's a shortcut to do this - if only someone would write a linq wrapper for VB6!

You could write a function that does it by looping through the array and checking each entry - I don't think you'll get cleaner than that.

There's an example article that provides some details here: http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/searching-arrays-visual-basic-6

How to reload the current route with the angular 2 router

This can now be done in Angular 5.1 using the onSameUrlNavigation property of the Router config.

I have added a blog explaining how here but the gist of it is as follows

https://medium.com/engineering-on-the-incline/reloading-current-route-on-click-angular-5-1a1bfc740ab2

In your router config enable onSameUrlNavigation option, setting it to 'reload'. This causes the Router to fire an events cycle when you try to navigate to a route that is active already.

@ngModule({
 imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {onSameUrlNavigation: 'reload'})],
 exports: [RouterModule],
 })

In your route definitions, set runGuardsAndResolvers to always. This will tell the router to always kick off the guards and resolvers cycles, firing associated events.

export const routes: Routes = [
 {
   path: 'invites',
   component: InviteComponent,
   children: [
     {
       path: '',
       loadChildren: './pages/invites/invites.module#InvitesModule',
     },
   ],
   canActivate: [AuthenticationGuard],
   runGuardsAndResolvers: 'always',
 }
]

Finally, in each component that you would like to enable reloading, you need to handle the events. This can be done by importing the router, binding onto the events and invoking an initialisation method that resets the state of your component and re-fetches data if required.

export class InviteComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
 navigationSubscription;     

 constructor(
   // … your declarations here
   private router: Router,
 ) {
   // subscribe to the router events. Store the subscription so we can
   // unsubscribe later.
   this.navigationSubscription = this.router.events.subscribe((e: any) => {
     // If it is a NavigationEnd event re-initalise the component
     if (e instanceof NavigationEnd) {
       this.initialiseInvites();
     }
   });
 }

 initialiseInvites() {
   // Set default values and re-fetch any data you need.
 }

 ngOnDestroy() {
   if (this.navigationSubscription) {
     this.navigationSubscription.unsubscribe();
   }
 }
}

With all of these steps in place, you should have route reloading enabled.

Displaying files (e.g. images) stored in Google Drive on a website

EDIT : As of 2020, THIS is working. Most previous answers are outdated.

Easy Solution

All you have to do is open your file:

Image of mountain on Google Drive

Then, go into your web inspector (for Chrome, Cmd-Shift-I or Ctrl-Shift-I depending on your OS) and get the link. Paste that link into your browser and it will redirect to another link. Copy the new URL. Done!

Image of link for image shown in web inspector


What's the redirect for?

It seems that if you use the first link, it can only be accessed when signed in to your Google account. Not very helpful for other people. The second, redirected link, however, does not need you to be signed in. That's the rationale behind it.


I deleted the original file shown in the images, but I have another working example here.


I've actually checked back on my example link that I posted in my edit about a week ago, but it no longer seems to be working. I guess these links only work temporarily, so don't use them for any kind of production environment.

Need to perform Wildcard (*,?, etc) search on a string using Regex

You may want to use WildcardPattern from System.Management.Automation assembly. See my answer here.

Set QLineEdit to accept only numbers

The best is QSpinBox.

And for a double value use QDoubleSpinBox.

QSpinBox myInt;
myInt.setMinimum(-5);
myInt.setMaximum(5);
myInt.setSingleStep(1);// Will increment the current value with 1 (if you use up arrow key) (if you use down arrow key => -1)
myInt.setValue(2);// Default/begining value
myInt.value();// Get the current value
//connect(&myInt, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), this, SLOT(myValueChanged(int)));

Way to get number of digits in an int?

post checkbox value

in normal time, checkboxes return an on/off value.

you can verify it with this code:

<form action method="POST">
      <input type="checkbox" name="hello"/>
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['hello'])) echo('<p>'.$_POST['hello'].'</p>');
?>

this will return

<p>off</p>

or

<p>on</p>

How to decode HTML entities using jQuery?

Try this :

_x000D_
_x000D_
var htmlEntities = "&lt;script&gt;alert('hello');&lt;/script&gt;";_x000D_
var htmlDecode =$.parseHTML(htmlEntities)[0]['wholeText'];_x000D_
console.log(htmlDecode);
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

parseHTML is a Function in Jquery library and it will return an array that includes some details about the given String..

in some cases the String is being big, so the function will separate the content to many indexes..

and to get all the indexes data you should go to any index, then access to the index called "wholeText".

I chose index 0 because it's will work in all cases (small String or big string).

Add custom buttons on Slick Carousel

If you are using sass you can simply set below mentioned variables to use icons provided by other fonts,

$slick-font-family:FontAwesome;
$slick-prev-character: "\f053";
$slick-next-character: "\f054";

These will change the font family used by slick's theme css and also the unicode for prev and next button. This example will use FontAwesome's chevron-left and chevron-right icons.

Other sass variables which can be configured are given in Slick Github page

How to assert greater than using JUnit Assert?

As I recognize, at the moment, in JUnit, the syntax is like this:

AssertTrue(Long.parseLong(previousTokenValues[1]) > Long.parseLong(currentTokenValues[1]), "your fail message ");

Means that, the condition is in front of the message.

Read a variable in bash with a default value

The -e and -t parameter does not work together. i tried some expressions and the result was the following code snippet :

QMESSAGE="SHOULD I DO YES OR NO"
YMESSAGE="I DO"
NMESSAGE="I DO NOT"
FMESSAGE="PLEASE ENTER Y or N"
COUNTDOWN=2
DEFAULTVALUE=n
#----------------------------------------------------------------#
function REQUEST ()
{
read -n1 -t$COUNTDOWN -p "$QMESSAGE ? Y/N " INPUT
    INPUT=${INPUT:-$DEFAULTVALUE}
    if  [ "$INPUT" = "y" -o "$INPUT" = "Y" ] ;then
        echo -e "\n$YMESSAGE\n"
        #COMMANDEXECUTION
    elif    [ "$INPUT" = "n" -o "$INPUT" = "N" ] ;then
        echo -e "\n$NMESSAGE\n"
        #COMMANDEXECUTION
    else
        echo -e "\n$FMESSAGE\n"
    REQUEST
    fi
}

Remove all whitespace from C# string with regex

Regex.Replace does not modify its first argument (recall that strings are immutable in .NET) so the call

Regex.Replace(LastName, @"\s+", "");

leaves the LastName string unchanged. You need to call it like this:

LastName = Regex.Replace(LastName, @"\s+", "");

All three of your regular expressions would have worked. However, the first regex would remove all plus characters as well, which I imagine would be unintentional.

Select current element in jQuery

You will find the siblings() and parent() methods useful here.

// assuming A1 is clicked
$('div a').click(function(e) {
    $(this); // A1
    $(this).parent(); // the div containing A1
    $(this).siblings(); // A2 and A3
});

Combining those methods with andSelf() will let you manipulate any combination of those elements you want.

Edit: The comment left by Mark regarding event delegation on Shog9's answer is a very good one. The easiest way to accomplish this in jQuery would be by using the live() method.

// assuming A1 is clicked
$('div a').live('click', function(e) {
    $(this); // A1
    $(this).parent(); // the div containing A1
    $(this).siblings(); // A2 and A3
});

I think it actually binds the event to the root element, but the effect is that same. Not only is it more flexible, it also improves performance in a lot of cases. Just be sure to read the documentation to avoid any gotchas.

Bootstrap: wider input field

In bootstrap 4, they have designed a bigger input file.

A simple solution to increase the size input file is to use font-size:

Add you style, for example:

input[type="file"] {
  font-size:35px
}

Otherwise, you can make one custom class and add to input control.

How to convert flat raw disk image to vmdk for virtualbox or vmplayer?

To answer TJJ: But is it also possible to do this without copying the whole file? So, just to somehow create an additional vmdk-metafile, that references the raw dd-image.

Yes, it's possible. Here's how to use a flat disk image in VirtualBox:

First you create an image with dd in the usual way:

dd bs=512 count=60000 if=/dev/zero of=usbdrv.img

Then you can create a file for VirtualBox that references this image:

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "usbdrv.vmdk" -rawdisk "usbdrv.img"

You can use this image in VirtualBox as is, but depending on the guest OS it might not be visible immediately. For example, I experimented on using this method with a Windows guest OS and I had to do the following to give it a drive letter:

  • Go to the Control Panel.
  • Go to Administrative Tools.
  • Go to Computer Management.
  • Go to Storage\Disk Management in the left side panel.
  • You'll see your disk here. Create a partition on it and format it. Use FAT for small volumes, FAT32 or NTFS for large volumes.

You might want to access your files on Linux. First dismount it from the guest OS to be sure and remove it from the virtual machine. Now we need to create a virtual device that references the partition.

sfdisk -d usbdrv.img

Response:

label: dos
label-id: 0xd367a714
device: usbdrv.img
unit: sectors

usbdrv.img1 : start=          63, size=       48132, type=4

Take note of the start position of the partition: 63. In the command below I used loop4 because it was the first available loop device in my case.

sudo losetup -o $((63*512)) loop4 usbdrv.img
mkdir usbdrv
sudo mount /dev/loop4 usbdrv
ls usbdrv -l

Response:

Getting MAC Address

For Linux let me introduce a shell script that will show the mac address and allows to change it (MAC sniffing).

 ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr |cut -dH -f2|cut -d\  -f2
 00:26:6c:df:c3:95

Cut arguements may dffer (I am not an expert) try:

ifconfig etho | grep HWaddr
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:26:6c:df:c3:95  

To change MAC we may do:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:30
ifconfig eth0 up

will change mac address to 00:80:48:BA:d1:30 (temporarily, will restore to actual one upon reboot).

Open local folder from link

Linking to local resources is disabled in all modern browsers due to security restrictions.

For Firefox:

For security purposes, Mozilla applications block links to local files (and directories) from remote files. This includes linking to files on your hard drive, on mapped network drives, and accessible via Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) paths. This prevents a number of unpleasant possibilities, including:

  • Allowing sites to detect your operating system by checking default installation paths
  • Allowing sites to exploit system vulnerabilities (e.g., C:\con\con in Windows 95/98)
  • Allowing sites to detect browser preferences or read sensitive data

for IE:

Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1) no longer allows browsing a local machine from the Internet zone. For instance, if an Internet site contains a link to a local file, Internet Explorer 6 SP1 displays a blank page when a user clicks on the link. Previous versions of Windows Internet Explorer followed the link to the local file.

for Opera (in the context of a security advisory, I'm sure there is a more canonical link for this):

As a security precaution, Opera does not allow Web pages to link to files on the user's local disk

React.js create loop through Array

In CurrentGame component you need to change initial state because you are trying use loop for participants but this property is undefined that's why you get error.,

getInitialState: function(){
    return {
       data: {
          participants: [] 
       }
    };
},

also, as player in .map is Object you should get properties from it

this.props.data.participants.map(function(player) {
   return <li key={player.championId}>{player.summonerName}</li>
   // -------------------^^^^^^^^^^^---------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
})

Example

Default argument values in JavaScript functions

You have to check if the argument is undefined:

    if (b === undefined) b = "default value";
}

Also note that this question has been answered before.

Wget output document and headers to STDOUT

Try the following, no extra headers

  operator std::vector<T>() const {
    return data_;
  }
private:
  std::vector<T> data_;
};

And use it like this:

std::vector<int> v = make_vector<int>() << 1 << 2 << 3;

Fundamental difference between Hashing and Encryption algorithms

Encryption and hash algorithms work in similar ways. In each case, there is a need to create confusion and diffusion amongst the bits. Boiled down, confusion is creating a complex relationship between the key and the ciphertext, and diffusion is spreading the information of each bit around.

Many hash functions actually use encryption algorithms (or primitives of encryption algorithms. For example, the SHA-3 candidate Skein uses Threefish as the underlying method to process each block. The difference is that instead of keeping each block of ciphertext, they are destructively, deterministically merged together to a fixed length

Grouping switch statement cases together?

gcc has a so-called "case range" extension:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/Case-Ranges.html#Case-Ranges

I used to use this when I was only using gcc. Not much to say about it really -- it does sort of what you want, though only for ranges of values.

The biggest problem with this is that only gcc supports it; this may or may not be a problem for you.

(I suspect that for your example an if statement would be a more natural fit.)

Find a line in a file and remove it

Here you go. This solution uses a DataInputStream to scan for the position of the string you want replaced and uses a FileChannel to replace the text at that exact position. It only replaces the first occurrence of the string that it finds. This solution doesn't store a copy of the entire file somewhere, (either the RAM or a temp file), it just edits the portion of the file that it finds.

public static long scanForString(String text, File file) throws IOException {
    if (text.isEmpty())
        return file.exists() ? 0 : -1;
    // First of all, get a byte array off of this string:
    byte[] bytes = text.getBytes(/* StandardCharsets.your_charset */);

    // Next, search the file for the byte array.
    try (DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file))) {

        List<Integer> matches = new LinkedList<>();

        for (long pos = 0; pos < file.length(); pos++) {
            byte bite = dis.readByte();

            for (int i = 0; i < matches.size(); i++) {
                Integer m = matches.get(i);
                if (bytes[m] != bite)
                    matches.remove(i--);
                else if (++m == bytes.length)
                    return pos - m + 1;
                else
                    matches.set(i, m);
            }

            if (bytes[0] == bite)
                matches.add(1);
        }
    }

Resulting File: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP000TUVWXYZ

Strip / trim all strings of a dataframe

You can try:

df[0] = df[0].str.strip()

or more specifically for all string columns

non_numeric_columns = list(set(df.columns)-set(df._get_numeric_data().columns))
df[non_numeric_columns] = df[non_numeric_columns].apply(lambda x : str(x).strip())

Check if a string has white space

Here is my suggested validation:

var isValid = false;

// Check whether this entered value is numeric.
function checkNumeric() {
    var numericVal = document.getElementById("txt_numeric").value;

    if(isNaN(numericVal) || numericVal == "" || numericVal == null || numericVal.indexOf(' ') >= 0) {
        alert("Please, enter a numeric value!");
        isValid = false;
    } else {
        isValid = true;
    }
}

How to gzip all files in all sub-directories into one compressed file in bash

@amitchhajer 's post works for GNU tar. If someone finds this post and needs it to work on a NON GNU system, they can do this:

tar cvf - folderToCompress | gzip > compressFileName

To expand the archive:

zcat compressFileName | tar xvf -

How to get evaluated attributes inside a custom directive

The other answers here are very much correct, and valuable. But sometimes you just want simple: to get a plain old parsed value at directive instantiation, without needing updates, and without messing with isolate scope. For instance, it can be handy to provide a declarative payload into your directive as an array or hash-object in the form:

my-directive-name="['string1', 'string2']"

In that case, you can cut to the chase and just use a nice basic angular.$eval(attr.attrName).

element.val("value = "+angular.$eval(attr.value));

Working Fiddle.

What is use of c_str function In c++

c_str() converts a C++ string into a C-style string which is essentially a null terminated array of bytes. You use it when you want to pass a C++ string into a function that expects a C-style string (e.g. a lot of the Win32 API, POSIX style functions, etc).

How to convert column with string type to int form in pyspark data frame?

from pyspark.sql.types import IntegerType
data_df = data_df.withColumn("Plays", data_df["Plays"].cast(IntegerType()))
data_df = data_df.withColumn("drafts", data_df["drafts"].cast(IntegerType()))

You can run loop for each column but this is the simplest way to convert string column into integer.

How to Exit a Method without Exiting the Program?

@John, Earlz and Nathan. The way I learned it at uni is: functions return values, methods don't. In some languages the syntax is/was actually different. Example (no specific language):

Method SetY(int y) ...
Function CalculateY(int x) As Integer ...

Most languages now use the same syntax for both versions, using void as a return type to say there actually isn't a return type. I assume it's because the syntax is more consistent and easier to change from method to function, and vice versa.

Modify property value of the objects in list using Java 8 streams

just for modifying certain property from object collection you could directly use forEach with a collection as follows

collection.forEach(c -> c.setXyz(c.getXyz + "a"))

How to force reloading php.ini file?

You also can use graceful restart the apache server with service apache2 reload or apachectl -k graceful. As the apache doc says:

The USR1 or graceful signal causes the parent process to advise the children to exit after their current request (or to exit immediately if they're not serving anything). The parent re-reads its configuration files and re-opens its log files. As each child dies off the parent replaces it with a child from the new generation of the configuration, which begins serving new requests immediately.

CAML query with nested ANDs and ORs for multiple fields

You can try U2U Query Builder http://www.u2u.net/res/Tools/CamlQueryBuilder.aspx you can use their API U2U.SharePoint.CAML.Server.dll and U2U.SharePoint.CAML.Client.dll

I didn't use them but I'm sure it will help you achieving your task.

Convert integer to hex and hex to integer

Actually, the built-in function is named master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr.

So, for example:

SELECT 100, master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(100)

Gives you

100 0x00000064

Converting any object to a byte array in java

What you want to do is called "serialization". There are several ways of doing it, but if you don't need anything fancy I think using the standard Java object serialization would do just fine.

Perhaps you could use something like this?

package com.example;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;

public class Serializer {

    public static byte[] serialize(Object obj) throws IOException {
        try(ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream()){
            try(ObjectOutputStream o = new ObjectOutputStream(b)){
                o.writeObject(obj);
            }
            return b.toByteArray();
        }
    }

    public static Object deserialize(byte[] bytes) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        try(ByteArrayInputStream b = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes)){
            try(ObjectInputStream o = new ObjectInputStream(b)){
                return o.readObject();
            }
        }
    }

}

There are several improvements to this that can be done. Not in the least the fact that you can only read/write one object per byte array, which might or might not be what you want.

Note that "Only objects that support the java.io.Serializable interface can be written to streams" (see java.io.ObjectOutputStream).

Since you might run into it, the continuous allocation and resizing of the java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream might turn out to be quite the bottle neck. Depending on your threading model you might want to consider reusing some of the objects.

For serialization of objects that do not implement the Serializable interface you either need to write your own serializer, for example using the read*/write* methods of java.io.DataOutputStream and the get*/put* methods of java.nio.ByteBuffer perhaps together with reflection, or pull in a third party dependency.

This site has a list and performance comparison of some serialization frameworks. Looking at the APIs it seems Kryo might fit what you need.

java - path to trustStore - set property doesn't work?

Both

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=path/to/trustStore.jks

and

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "cacerts.jks");

do the same thing and have no difference working wise. In your case you just have a typo. You have misspelled trustStore in javax.net.ssl.trustStore.

Watermark / hint text / placeholder TextBox

My solution is quite simple.

In my login window. the xaml is like this.

 <DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="80" Width="300" LastChildFill="True">
        <Button Margin="5,0,0,0" Click="login_Click" DockPanel.Dock="Right"  VerticalAlignment="Center" ToolTip="Login to system">
            Login
        </Button>
        <StackPanel>
            <TextBox x:Name="userNameWatermarked" Height="25" Foreground="Gray" Text="UserName" GotFocus="userNameWatermarked_GotFocus"></TextBox>
            <TextBox x:Name="userName" Height="25"  TextChanged="loginElement_TextChanged" Visibility="Collapsed" LostFocus="userName_LostFocus" ></TextBox>
            <TextBox x:Name="passwordWatermarked" Height="25" Foreground="Gray" Text="Password"  Margin="0,5,0,5" GotFocus="passwordWatermarked_GotFocus"></TextBox>
            <PasswordBox x:Name="password" Height="25" PasswordChanged="password_PasswordChanged" KeyUp="password_KeyUp" LostFocus="password_LostFocus" Margin="0,5,0,5" Visibility="Collapsed"></PasswordBox>
            <TextBlock x:Name="loginError" Visibility="Hidden" Foreground="Red" FontSize="12"></TextBlock>
        </StackPanel>
    </DockPanel>

the code is like this.

private void userNameWatermarked_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        userNameWatermarked.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
        userName.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
        userName.Focus();
    }

    private void userName_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.userName.Text))
        {
            userName.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
            userNameWatermarked.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
        }
    }

    private void passwordWatermarked_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        passwordWatermarked.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
        password.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
        password.Focus();
    }

    private void password_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.password.Password))
        {
            password.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
            passwordWatermarked.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
        }
    }

Just decide to hide or show the watermark textbox is enough. Though not beautiful,but work well.

How to easily initialize a list of Tuples?

Super Duper Old I know but I would add my piece on using Linq and continuation lambdas on methods with using C# 7. I try to use named tuples as replacements for DTOs and anonymous projections when reused in a class. Yes for mocking and testing you still need classes but doing things inline and passing around in a class is nice to have this newer option IMHO. You can instantiate them from

  1. Direct Instantiation
var items = new List<(int Id, string Name)> { (1, "Me"), (2, "You")};
  1. Off of an existing collection, and now you can return well typed tuples similar to how anonymous projections used to be done.
public class Hold
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

//In some method or main console app:
var holds = new List<Hold> { new Hold { Id = 1, Name = "Me" }, new Hold { Id = 2, Name = "You" } };
var anonymousProjections = holds.Select(x => new { SomeNewId = x.Id, SomeNewName = x.Name });
var namedTuples = holds.Select(x => (TupleId: x.Id, TupleName: x.Name));
  1. Reuse the tuples later with grouping methods or use a method to construct them inline in other logic:
//Assuming holder class above making 'holds' object
public (int Id, string Name) ReturnNamedTuple(int id, string name) => (id, name);
public static List<(int Id, string Name)> ReturnNamedTuplesFromHolder(List<Hold> holds) => holds.Select(x => (x.Id, x.Name)).ToList();
public static void DoSomethingWithNamedTuplesInput(List<(int id, string name)> inputs) => inputs.ForEach(x => Console.WriteLine($"Doing work with {x.id} for {x.name}"));

var namedTuples2 = holds.Select(x => ReturnNamedTuple(x.Id, x.Name));
var namedTuples3 = ReturnNamedTuplesFromHolder(holds);
DoSomethingWithNamedTuplesInput(namedTuples.ToList());

The equivalent of wrap_content and match_parent in flutter?

Use this line of codes inside the Column. For wrap_content : mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min For match_parent : mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max

What's a good hex editor/viewer for the Mac?

To view the file, run:

xxd filename | less

To use Vim as a hex editor:

  1. Open the file in Vim.
  2. Run :%!xxd (transform buffer to hex)
  3. Edit.
  4. Run :%!xxd -r (reverse transformation)
  5. Save.

Difference between static STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT on Django

All the answers above are helpful but none solved my issue. In my production file, my STATIC_URL was https://<URL>/static and I used the same STATIC_URL in my dev settings.py file.

This causes a silent failure in django/conf/urls/static.py.

The test elif not settings.DEBUG or '://' in prefix: picks up the '//' in the URL and does not add the static URL pattern, causing no static files to be found.

It would be thoughtful if Django spit out an error message stating you can't use a http(s):// with DEBUG = True

I had to change STATIC_URL to be '/static/'

Saving utf-8 texts with json.dumps as UTF8, not as \u escape sequence

use unicode-escape to solve problem

>>>import json
>>>json_string = json.dumps("??? ????")
>>>json_string.encode('ascii').decode('unicode-escape')
'"??? ????"'

explain

>>>s = '?  ?a?  ???'
>>>print('unicode: ' + s.encode('unicode-escape').decode('utf-8'))
unicode: \u6f22  \u03c7\u03b1\u03bd  \u0445\u0430\u043d

>>>u = s.encode('unicode-escape').decode('utf-8')
>>>print('original: ' + u.encode("utf-8").decode('unicode-escape'))
original: ?  ?a?  ???

Core dump file is not generated

This link contains a good checklist why core dumps are not generated:

  • The core would have been larger than the current limit.
  • You don't have the necessary permissions to dump core (directory and file). Notice that core dumps are placed in the dumping process' current directory which could be different from the parent process.
  • Verify that the file system is writeable and have sufficient free space.
  • If a sub directory named core exist in the working directory no core will be dumped.
  • If a file named core already exist but has multiple hard links the kernel will not dump core.
  • Verify the permissions on the executable, if the executable has the suid or sgid bit enabled core dumps will by default be disabled. The same will be the case if you have execute permissions but no read permissions on the file.
  • Verify that the process has not changed working directory, core size limit, or dumpable flag.
  • Some kernel versions cannot dump processes with shared address space (AKA threads). Newer kernel versions can dump such processes but will append the pid to the file name.
  • The executable could be in a non-standard format not supporting core dumps. Each executable format must implement a core dump routine.
  • The segmentation fault could actually be a kernel Oops, check the system logs for any Oops messages.
  • The application called exit() instead of using the core dump handler.

pull/push from multiple remote locations

Adding the all remote gets a bit tedious as you have to setup on each machine that you use.

Also, the bash and git aliases provided all assume that you have will push to all remotes. (Ex: I have a fork of sshag that I maintain on GitHub and GitLab. I have the upstream remote added, but I don't have permission to push to it.)

Here is a git alias that only pushes to remotes with a push URL that includes @.

psall    = "!f() { \
    for R in $(git remote -v | awk '/@.*push/ { print $1 }'); do \
    git push $R $1; \
    done \
    }; f"

Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace error in Eclipse

This problems occurs because you have the same project in some other project folder.As in eclipse we have many project folder, So if you have a project in one folder and you want to import it in other project folder, then this problem occurs. So first of all DELETE the project from other folder and then import in into your current one project FOLDER.

How do I test if a variable is a number in Bash?

Following up on David W's answer from Oct '13, if using expr this might be better

test_var=`expr $am_i_numeric \* 0` >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$test_var" = "" ]
then
    ......

If numeric, multiplied by 1 gives you the same value, (including negative numbers). Otherwise you get null which you can test for

How to detect the swipe left or Right in Android?

After a full day working on this feature finally able to get the right answer.

First, create the following classes:

import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;

/**
 * Created by hoshyar on 1/19/17.
 */

public class SwipeDetector implements View.OnTouchListener {

    public static enum Action {
        LR, // Left to Right
        RL, // Right to Left
        TB, // Top to bottom
        BT, // Bottom to Top
        None // when no action was detected
    }

    private static final String logTag = "Swipe";
    private static final int MIN_DISTANCE = 100;
    private float downX, downY, upX, upY;
    private Action mSwipeDetected = Action.None;

    public boolean swipeDetected() {
        return mSwipeDetected != Action.None;
    }

    public Action getAction() {
        return mSwipeDetected;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                downX = event.getX();
                downY = event.getY();
                mSwipeDetected = Action.None;
                return false;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                upX = event.getX();
                upY = event.getY();

                float deltaX = downX - upX;
                float deltaY = downY - upY;
                Log.i(logTag,String.valueOf(deltaX));
                Log.i(logTag,String.valueOf(deltaX));

                if (deltaY>0 && deltaY<10 && deltaX<0 || deltaY==0 && deltaX>-15 && deltaX<0){
                    Log.i(logTag,"to right");
                }if (deltaY>=0 && deltaY<10 && deltaX>0 || deltaY<0 && deltaX>15 && deltaX<40){
                Log.i(logTag,"to left");
            }





                if (Math.abs(deltaX) > MIN_DISTANCE) {
                    // left or right
                    if (deltaX < 0) {
                        mSwipeDetected = Action.LR;
                        return false;
                    }
                    if (deltaX > 0) {


                        mSwipeDetected = Action.RL;
                        return false;
                    }
                } else if (Math.abs(deltaY) > MIN_DISTANCE) {


                    if (deltaY < 0) {
                        Log.i(logTag,"to bottom");
                        mSwipeDetected = Action.TB;
                        return false;
                    }
                    if (deltaY > 0) {
                        Log.i(logTag,"to up");
                        mSwipeDetected = Action.BT;
                        return false;
                    }
                }
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Finally on the object that you want to apply. My example:

SwipeDetector swipeDetector = new SwipeDetector();
listView.setOnTouchListener(swipeDetector);

Good luck .

echo "### editing the create statement"
sed -i "s|$FIELD $OLD|$FIELD $NEW|g" $TMP

read -rsp $'Press any key to continue deleting and recreating the table $TABLE ...\n' -n1 key 

echo "### rename the original to '$TABLE"_backup"'"
sqlite3 "$DB" "PRAGMA busy_timeout=20000; ALTER TABLE '$TABLE' RENAME TO '$TABLE"_backup"'"

echo "### delete the old indexes"

How to get only numeric column values?

SELECT column1 FROM table WHERE column1 not like '%[0-9]%'

Removing the '^' did it for me. I'm looking at a varchar field and when I included the ^ it excluded all of my non-numerics which is exactly what I didn't want. So, by removing ^ I only got non-numeric values back.

Best way to script remote SSH commands in Batch (Windows)

As an alternative option you could install OpenSSH http://www.mls-software.com/opensshd.html and then simply ssh user@host -pw password -m command_run

Edit: After a response from user2687375 when installing, select client only. Once this is done you should be able to initiate SSH from command.

Then you can create an ssh batch script such as

ECHO OFF
CLS
:MENU
ECHO.
ECHO ........................
ECHO SSH servers
ECHO ........................
ECHO.
ECHO 1 - Web Server 1
ECHO 2 - Web Server 2
ECHO E - EXIT
ECHO.

SET /P M=Type 1 - 2 then press ENTER:
IF %M%==1 GOTO WEB1
IF %M%==2 GOTO WEB2
IF %M%==E GOTO EOF

REM ------------------------------
REM SSH Server details

Include CSS,javascript file in Yii Framework

I liked to answer this question.

Their are many places where we have css & javascript files, like in css folder which is outside the protected folder, css & js files of extension & widgets which we need to include externally sometime when use ajax a lot, js & css files of core framework which also we need to include externally sometime. So their are some ways to do this.

Include core js files of framework like jquery.js, jquery.ui.js

<?php 
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCoreScript('jquery');     
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCoreScript('jquery.ui'); 
?>

Include files from css folder outside of protected folder.

<?php 
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile(Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/css/example.css');
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScriptFile(Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/css/example.js');
?>

Include css & js files from extension or widgets.

Here fancybox is an extension which is placed under protected folder. Files we including has path : /protected/extensions/fancybox/assets/

<?php
// Fancybox stuff.
$assetUrl = Yii::app()->getAssetManager()->publish(Yii::getPathOfAlias('ext.fancybox.assets'));
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScriptFile($assetUrl.'/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js'); 
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScriptFile($assetUrl.'/jquery.mousewheel-3.0.4.pack.js'); 
?>  

Also we can include core framework files: Example : I am including CListView js file.

<?php
$baseScriptUrl=Yii::app()->getAssetManager()->publish(Yii::getPathOfAlias('zii.widgets.assets'));
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScriptFile($baseScriptUrl.'/listview/jquery.yiilistview.js',CClientScript::POS_END);  
?>
  • We need to include js files of zii widgets or extension externally sometimes when we use them in rendered view which are received from ajax call, because loading each time new ajax file create conflict in calling js functions.

Are there any worse sorting algorithms than Bogosort (a.k.a Monkey Sort)?

Bozo sort is a related algorithm that checks if the list is sorted and, if not, swaps two items at random. It has the same best and worst case performances, but I would intuitively expect the average case to be longer than Bogosort. It's hard to find (or produce) any data on performance of this algorithm.

Set value for particular cell in pandas DataFrame with iloc

To modify the value in a cell at the intersection of row "r" (in column "A") and column "C"

  1. retrieve the index of the row "r" in column "A"

        i = df[ df['A']=='r' ].index.values[0]
    
  2. modify the value in the desired column "C"

        df.loc[i,"C"]="newValue"
    

Note: before, be sure to reset the index of rows ...to have a nice index list!

        df=df.reset_index(drop=True)
