Change value of variable with dplyr

We can use replace to change the values in 'mpg' to NA that corresponds to cyl==4.

mtcars %>%
     mutate(mpg=replace(mpg, cyl==4, NA)) %>%
     as.data.frame()

What is a elegant way in Ruby to tell if a variable is a Hash or an Array?

You can just do:

@some_var.class == Hash

or also something like:

@some_var.is_a?(Hash)

It's worth noting that the "is_a?" method is true if the class is anywhere in the objects ancestry tree. for instance:

@some_var.is_a?(Object)  # => true

the above is true if @some_var is an instance of a hash or other class that stems from Object. So, if you want a strict match on the class type, using the == or instance_of? method is probably what you're looking for.

Convert Rtf to HTML

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, it isn't that difficult to write an RTF to HTML converter.

Writing a general purpose RTF->HTML converter would be somewhat complicated because you would need to deal with hundreds of RTF verbs. However, in your case you are only dealing with those verbs used specifically by Crystal Reports. I'll bet the standard RTF coding generated by Crystal doesn't vary much from report to report.

I wrote an RTF to HTML converter in C++, but it only deals with basic formatting like fonts, paragraph alignments, etc. My translator basically strips out any specialized formatting that it isn't prepared to deal with. It took about 400 lines of C++. It basically scans the text for RTF tags and replaces them with equivalent HTML tags. RTF tags that aren't in my list are simply stripped out. A regex function is really helpful when writing such a converter.

Python constructors and __init__

Why are constructors indeed called "Constructors" ?

The constructor (named __new__) creates and returns a new instance of the class. So the C.__new__ class method is the constructor for the class C.

The C.__init__ instance method is called on a specific instance, after it is created, to initialise it before being passed back to the caller. So that method is the initialiser for new instances of C.

How are they different from methods in a class?

As stated in the official documentation __init__ is called after the instance is created. Other methods do not receive this treatment.

What is their purpose?

The purpose of the constructor C.__new__ is to define custom behaviour during construction of a new C instance.

The purpose of the initialiser C.__init__ is to define custom initialisation of each instance of C after it is created.

For example Python allows you to do:

class Test(object):
    pass

t = Test()

t.x = 10   # here you're building your object t
print t.x

But if you want every instance of Test to have an attribute x equal to 10, you can put that code inside __init__:

class Test(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 10

t = Test()
print t.x

Every instance method (a method called on a specific instance of a class) receives the instance as its first argument. That argument is conventionally named self.

Class methods, such as the constructor __new__, instead receive the class as their first argument.

Now, if you want custom values for the x attribute all you have to do is pass that value as argument to __init__:

class Test(object):
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x

t = Test(10)
print t.x
z = Test(20)
print t.x

I hope this will help you clear some doubts, and since you've already received good answers to the other questions I will stop here :)

Difference between SelectedItem, SelectedValue and SelectedValuePath

SelectedItem is an object. SelectedValue and SelectedValuePath are strings.

for example using the ListBox:

if you say give me listbox1.SelectedValue it will return the text of the currently selected item.

string value = listbox1.SelectedValue;

if you say give me listbox1.SelectedItem it will give you the entire object.

ListItem item = listbox1.SelectedItem;
string value = item.value;

vim - How to delete a large block of text without counting the lines?

There are several possibilities, what's best depends on the text you work on.

Two possibilities come to mind:

  • switch to visual mode (V, S-V, ...), select the text with cursor movement and press d
  • delete a whole paragraph with: dap

Tar a directory, but don't store full absolute paths in the archive

One minor detail:

tar -cjf site1.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/site1 .

adds the files as

tar -tf site1.tar.bz2
./style.css
./index.html
./page2.html
./page3.html
./images/img1.png
./images/img2.png
./subdir/index.html

If you really want

tar -tf site1.tar.bz2
style.css
index.html
page2.html
page3.html
images/img1.png
images/img2.png
subdir/index.html

You should either cd into the directory first or run

tar -cjf site1.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/site1 $(ls /var/www/site1)

How to install gdb (debugger) in Mac OSX El Capitan?

Please note that this answer was written for Mac OS El Capitan. For newer versions, beware that it may no longer apply. In particular, the legacy option is quite possibly deprecated.

There are two solutions to the problem, and they are both mentioned in other answers to this question and to How to get gdb to work using macports under OSX 10.11 El Capitan?, but to clear up some confusion here is my summary (as an answer since it got a bit long for a comment):

Which alternative is more secure I guess boils down to the choice between 1) trusting self-signed certificates and 2) giving users more privileges.

Alternative 1: signing the binary

If the signature alternative is used, disabling SIP to add the -p option to taskgated is not required.

However, note that with this alternative, debugging is only allowed for users in the _developer group.

Using codesign to sign using a cert named gdb-cert:

codesign -s gdb-cert /opt/local/bin/ggdb

(using the MacPorts standard path, adopt as necessary)

For detailed code-signing recipes (incl cert creation), see : https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.1/gnat_ugn_unw/Codesigning-the-Debugger.html or https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin

Note that you need to restart the keychain application and the taskgated service during and after the process (the easiest way is to reboot).

Alternative 2: use the legacy option for taskgated

As per the answer by @user14241, disabling SIP and adding the -p option to taskgated is an option. Note that if using this option, signing the binary is not needed, and it also bypasses the dialog for authenticating as a member of the Developer Tools group (_developer).

After adding the -p option (allow groups procmod and procview) to taskgated you also need to add the users that should be allowed to use gdb to the procmod group.

The recipe is:

  1. restart in recovery mode, open a terminal and run csrutil disable

  2. restart machine and edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist, adding the -p opion:

    <array>
        <string>/usr/libexec/taskgated</string>
        <string>-sp</string>
    </array>
    
  3. restart in recovery mode to reenable SIP (csrutil enable)

  4. restart machine and add user USERNAME to the group procmod:

    sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a USERNAME -t user procmod

    An alternative that does not involve adding users to groups is to make the executable setgid procmod, as that also makes procmod the effective group id of any user executing the setgid binary (suggested in https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/112132)

    sudo chgrp procmod /path/to/gdb
    sudo chmod g+s /path/to/gdb 
    

Angular4 - No value accessor for form control

You should use formControlName="surveyType" on an input and not on a div

Why do I get "MismatchSenderId" from GCM server side?

With the deprecation of GCM and removal of its APIs, it appears that you could see MismatchSenderId if you try to use GCM after May 29, 2019. See the Google GCM and FCM FAQ for more details.

Error when trying vagrant up

Check Homestead.yaml file carefully.Check if there is any extra space character after line ends. Then, open gitbash -> go Homestead directory -> command "vagrant up --provision".

Referencing Row Number in R

Perhaps with dataframes one of the most easy and practical solution is:

data = dplyr::mutate(data, rownum=row_number())

How to select some rows with specific rownames from a dataframe?

Assuming that you have a data frame called students, you can select individual rows or columns using the bracket syntax, like this:

  • students[1,2] would select row 1 and column 2, the result here would be a single cell.
  • students[1,] would select all of row 1, students[,2] would select all of column 2.

If you'd like to select multiple rows or columns, use a list of values, like this:

  • students[c(1,3,4),] would select rows 1, 3 and 4,
  • students[c("stu1", "stu2"),] would select rows named stu1 and stu2.

Hope I could help.

Meaning of 'const' last in a function declaration of a class?

When you add the const keyword to a method the this pointer will essentially become a pointer to const object, and you cannot therefore change any member data. (Unless you use mutable, more on that later).

The const keyword is part of the functions signature which means that you can implement two similar methods, one which is called when the object is const, and one that isn't.

#include <iostream>

class MyClass
{
private:
    int counter;
public:
    void Foo()
    { 
        std::cout << "Foo" << std::endl;    
    }

    void Foo() const
    {
        std::cout << "Foo const" << std::endl;
    }

};

int main()
{
    MyClass cc;
    const MyClass& ccc = cc;
    cc.Foo();
    ccc.Foo();
}

This will output

Foo
Foo const

In the non-const method you can change the instance members, which you cannot do in the const version. If you change the method declaration in the above example to the code below you will get some errors.

    void Foo()
    {
        counter++; //this works
        std::cout << "Foo" << std::endl;    
    }

    void Foo() const
    {
        counter++; //this will not compile
        std::cout << "Foo const" << std::endl;
    }

This is not completely true, because you can mark a member as mutable and a const method can then change it. It's mostly used for internal counters and stuff. The solution for that would be the below code.

#include <iostream>

class MyClass
{
private:
    mutable int counter;
public:

    MyClass() : counter(0) {}

    void Foo()
    {
        counter++;
        std::cout << "Foo" << std::endl;    
    }

    void Foo() const
    {
        counter++;    // This works because counter is `mutable`
        std::cout << "Foo const" << std::endl;
    }

    int GetInvocations() const
    {
        return counter;
    }
};

int main(void)
{
    MyClass cc;
    const MyClass& ccc = cc;
    cc.Foo();
    ccc.Foo();
    std::cout << "Foo has been invoked " << ccc.GetInvocations() << " times" << std::endl;
}

which would output

Foo
Foo const
Foo has been invoked 2 times

SCRIPT5: Access is denied in IE9 on xmlhttprequest

Probably you are requesting for an external resource, this case IE needs the XDomain object. See the sample code below for how to make ajax request for all browsers with cross domains:

Tork.post = function (url,data,callBack,callBackParameter){
    if (url.indexOf("?")>0){
        data = url.substring(url.indexOf("?")+1)+"&"+ data;
        url = url.substring(0,url.indexOf("?"));
    }
    data += "&randomNumberG=" + Math.random() + (Tork.debug?"&debug=1":"");
    var xmlhttp;
    if (window.XDomainRequest)
    {
        xmlhttp=new XDomainRequest();
        xmlhttp.onload = function(){callBack(xmlhttp.responseText)};
    }
    else if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
        xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    else
        xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
    {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
            Tork.msg("Response:"+xmlhttp.responseText);
            callBack(xmlhttp.responseText,callBackParameter);
            Tork.showLoadingScreen(false);
        }
    }
    xmlhttp.open("POST",Tork.baseURL+url,true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send(data);
}

Python Progress Bar

The code below is a quite general solution and also has a time elapsed and time remaining estimate. You can use any iterable with it. The progress bar has a fixed size of 25 characters but it can show updates in 1% steps using full, half, and quarter block characters. The output looks like this:

 18% |¦¦¦¦¦                    | \ [0:00:01, 0:00:06]

Code with example:

import sys, time
from numpy import linspace

def ProgressBar(iterObj):
  def SecToStr(sec):
    m, s = divmod(sec, 60)
    h, m = divmod(m, 60)
    return u'%d:%02d:%02d'%(h, m, s)
  L = len(iterObj)
  steps = {int(x):y for x,y in zip(linspace(0, L, min(100,L), endpoint=False),
                                   linspace(0, 100, min(100,L), endpoint=False))}
  qSteps = ['', u'\u258E', u'\u258C', u'\u258A'] # quarter and half block chars
  startT = time.time()
  timeStr = '   [0:00:00, -:--:--]'
  activity = [' -',' \\',' |',' /']
  for nn,item in enumerate(iterObj):
    if nn in steps:
      done = u'\u2588'*int(steps[nn]/4.0)+qSteps[int(steps[nn]%4)]
      todo = ' '*(25-len(done))
      barStr = u'%4d%% |%s%s|'%(steps[nn], done, todo)
    if nn>0:
      endT = time.time()
      timeStr = ' [%s, %s]'%(SecToStr(endT-startT),
                             SecToStr((endT-startT)*(L/float(nn)-1)))
    sys.stdout.write('\r'+barStr+activity[nn%4]+timeStr); sys.stdout.flush()
    yield item
  barStr = u'%4d%% |%s|'%(100, u'\u2588'*25)
  timeStr = '   [%s, 0:00:00]\n'%(SecToStr(time.time()-startT))
  sys.stdout.write('\r'+barStr+timeStr); sys.stdout.flush()

# Example
s = ''
for c in ProgressBar(list('Disassemble and reassemble this string')):
  time.sleep(0.2)
  s += c
print(s)

Suggestions for improvements or other comments are appreciated. Cheers!

how to create insert new nodes in JsonNode?

These methods are in ObjectNode: the division is such that most read operations are included in JsonNode, but mutations in ObjectNode and ArrayNode.

Note that you can just change first line to be:

ObjectNode jNode = mapper.createObjectNode();
// version ObjectMapper has should return ObjectNode type

or

ObjectNode jNode = (ObjectNode) objectCodec.createObjectNode();
// ObjectCodec is in core part, must be of type JsonNode so need cast

How to easily consume a web service from PHP

In PHP 5 you can use SoapClient on the WSDL to call the web service functions. For example:

$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl");

and $client is now an object which has class methods as defined in some.wsdl. So if there was a method called getTime in the WSDL then you would just call:

$result = $client->getTime();

And the result of that would (obviously) be in the $result variable. You can use the __getFunctions method to return a list of all the available methods.

Getting Google+ profile picture url with user_id

Simple answer: No

You will have to query the person API and the take the profile image.url data to get the photo. AFAIK there is no default format for that url that contains the userID.

changing visibility using javascript

If you just want to display it when you get a response add this to your loadpage()

function loadpage(page_request, containerid){
   if (page_request.readyState == 4 && page_request.status==200) { 
      var container = document.getElementById(containerid);
      container.innerHTML=page_request.responseText;
      container.style.visibility = 'visible';
      // or 
      container.style.display = 'block';
}

but this depend entirely on how you hid the div in the first place

How does OAuth 2 protect against things like replay attacks using the Security Token?

The other answer is very detailed and addresses the bulk of the questions raised by the OP.

To elaborate, and specifically to address the OP's question of "How does OAuth 2 protect against things like replay attacks using the Security Token?", there are two additional protections in the official recommendations for implementing OAuth 2:

1) Tokens will usually have a short expiration period (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6819#section-5.1.5.3):

A short expiration time for tokens is a means of protection against the following threats:

  • replay...

2) When the token is used by Site A, the recommendation is that it will be presented not as URL parameters but in the Authorization request header field (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750):

Clients SHOULD make authenticated requests with a bearer token using the "Authorization" request header field with the "Bearer" HTTP authorization scheme. ...

The "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method SHOULD NOT be used except in application contexts where participating browsers do not have access to the "Authorization" request header field. ...

URI Query Parameter... is included to document current use; its use is not recommended, due to its security deficiencies

how to check if string value is in the Enum list?

You should use Enum.TryParse to achive your goal

This is a example:

[Flags]
private enum TestEnum
{
    Value1 = 1,
    Value2 = 2
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var enumName = "Value1";
    TestEnum enumValue;

    if (!TestEnum.TryParse(enumName, out enumValue))
    {
        throw new Exception("Wrong enum value");
    }

    // enumValue contains parsed value
}

Can't run Curl command inside my Docker Container

This is happening because there is no package cache in the image, you need to run:

apt-get -qq update

before installing packages, and if your command is in a Dockerfile, you'll then need:

apt-get -qq -y install curl

After that install ZSH and GIT Core:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh:

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh

and then you change your shell to zsh:

chsh -s `which zsh`

and then restart:

sudo shutdown -r 0

This problem is explained in depth in this issue.

Reading JSON POST using PHP

Hello this is a snippet from an old project of mine that uses curl to get ip information from some free ip databases services which reply in json format. I think it might help you.

getUserLocation($ip_srv);

Function:

function getUserLocation($services) {

How to get the id of the element clicked using jQuery

Since you are loading in the spans via ajax you will have to attach delegate handlers to the events to catch them as they bubble up.

$(document).on('click','span',function(e){
    console.log(e.target.id)
})

you will want to attach the event to the closest static member you can to increase efficiency.

$('#main_div').on('click','span',function(e){
    console.log(e.target.id)
})

is better than binding to the document for instance.

Differences between TCP sockets and web sockets, one more time

WebSocket is basically an application protocol (with reference to the ISO/OSI network stack), message-oriented, which makes use of TCP as transport layer.

The idea behind the WebSocket protocol consists of reusing the established TCP connection between a Client and Server. After the HTTP handshake the Client and Server start speaking WebSocket protocol by exchanging WebSocket envelopes. HTTP handshaking is used to overcome any barrier (e.g. firewalls) between a Client and a Server offering some services (usually port 80 is accessible from anywhere, by anyone). Client and Server can switch over speaking HTTP in any moment, making use of the same TCP connection (which is never released).

Behind the scenes WebSocket rebuilds the TCP frames in consistent envelopes/messages. The full-duplex channel is used by the Server to push updates towards the Client in an asynchronous way: the channel is open and the Client can call any futures/callbacks/promises to manage any asynchronous WebSocket received message.

To put it simply, WebSocket is a high level protocol (like HTTP itself) built on TCP (reliable transport layer, on per frame basis) that makes possible to build effective real-time application with JS Clients (previously Comet and long-polling techniques were used to pull updates from the Server before WebSockets were implemented. See Stackoverflow post: Differences between websockets and long polling for turn based game server ).

How to sort strings in JavaScript

since strings can be compared directly in javascript, this will do the job

list.sort(function (a, b) {
    return a.attr > b.attr ? 1: -1;
})

the subtraction in a sort function is used only when non alphabetical (numerical) sort is desired and of course it does not work with strings

Build android release apk on Phonegap 3.x CLI

In cordova 6.2.0

cd cordova/ #change to root cordova folder
platforms/android/cordova/clean #clean if you want
cordova build android --release -- --keystore="/path/to/keystore" --storePassword=password --alias=alias_name #password will be prompted if you have any

Previous answer:

According to cordova 5.0.0

{
     "android": {
         "release": {
             "keystore": "app-release-key.keystore",
             "alias": "alias_name"
         }
     }
 }

and run ./build --release --buildConfig build.json from directory platforms/android/cordova/

keystore file location is relative to platforms/android/cordova/, so in above configuration .keystore file and build.json are in same directory.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore app-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

post ajax data to PHP and return data

So what does count_votes look like? Is it a script? Anything that you want to get back from an ajax call can be retrieved using a simple echo (of course you could use JSON or xml, but for this simple example you would just need to output something in count_votes.php like:

$id = $_POST['id'];

function getVotes($id){
    // call your database here
    $query = ("SELECT votes FROM poll WHERE ID = $id");
    $result = @mysql_query($query);
    $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);

    return $row->votes;
}
$votes = getVotes($id);
echo $votes;

This is just pseudocode, but should give you the idea. What ever you echo from count_votes will be what is returned to "data" in your ajax call.

If Age and Palt are columns in the same Table, you can count(*) all tasks and sum only late ones like this:

select ks,
       count(*) tasks,
       sum(case when Age > Palt then 1 end) late
  from Table
 group by ks

Regex not operator

Not quite, although generally you can usually use some workaround on one of the forms

  • [^abc], which is character by character not a or b or c,
  • or negative lookahead: a(?!b), which is a not followed by b
  • or negative lookbehind: (?<!a)b, which is b not preceeded by a

How to select data where a field has a min value in MySQL?

This also works:

SELECT
  pieces.*
FROM
  pieces inner join (select min(price) as minprice from pieces) mn
  on pieces.price = mn.minprice

(since this version doesn't have a where condition with a subquery, it could be used if you need to UPDATE the table, but if you just need to SELECT i would reccommend to use John Woo solution)

Find stored procedure by name

For SQL Server version 9.0 (2005), you can use the code below:

select * 
from 
syscomments c
inner join sys.procedures p on p.object_id = c.id
where 
p.name like '%usp_ConnectionsCount%';

Make the current Git branch a master branch

Edit: You didn't say you had pushed to a public repo! That makes a world of difference.

There are two ways, the "dirty" way and the "clean" way. Suppose your branch is named new-master. This is the clean way:

git checkout new-master
git branch -m master old-master
git branch -m new-master master
# And don't do this part.  Just don't.  But if you want to...
# git branch -d --force old-master

This will make the config files change to match the renamed branches.

You can also do it the dirty way, which won't update the config files. This is kind of what goes on under the hood of the above...

mv -i .git/refs/new-master .git/refs/master
git checkout master

How can I escape a double quote inside double quotes?

Make use of $"string".

In this example, it would be,

dbload=$"load data local infile \"'gfpoint.csv'\" into table $dbtable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY \"'\n'\" IGNORE 1 LINES"

Note(from the man page):

A double-quoted string preceded by a dollar sign ($"string") will cause the string to be translated according to the current locale. If the current locale is C or POSIX, the dollar sign is ignored. If the string is translated and replaced, the replacement is double-quoted.

Find a file with a certain extension in folder

The method below returns only the files with certain extension (eg: file with .txt but not .txt1)

public static IEnumerable<string> GetFilesByExtension(string directoryPath, string extension, SearchOption searchOption)
    {
        return
            Directory.EnumerateFiles(directoryPath, "*" + extension, searchOption)
                .Where(x => string.Equals(Path.GetExtension(x), extension, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
    }

Pandas: ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer

I know this has been answered but wanted to provide alternate solution for anyone in the future:

You can use .loc to subset the dataframe by only values that are notnull(), and then subset out the 'x' column only. Take that same vector, and apply(int) to it.

If column x is float:

df.loc[df['x'].notnull(), 'x'] = df.loc[df['x'].notnull(), 'x'].apply(int)

Calculate cosine similarity given 2 sentence strings

I have similar solution but might be useful for pandas

import math
import re
from collections import Counter
import pandas as pd

WORD = re.compile(r"\w+")


def get_cosine(vec1, vec2):
    intersection = set(vec1.keys()) & set(vec2.keys())
    numerator = sum([vec1[x] * vec2[x] for x in intersection])

    sum1 = sum([vec1[x] ** 2 for x in list(vec1.keys())])
    sum2 = sum([vec2[x] ** 2 for x in list(vec2.keys())])
    denominator = math.sqrt(sum1) * math.sqrt(sum2)

    if not denominator:
        return 0.0
    else:
        return float(numerator) / denominator


def text_to_vector(text):
    words = WORD.findall(text)
    return Counter(words)

df=pd.read_csv('/content/drive/article.csv')
df['vector1']=df['headline'].apply(lambda x: text_to_vector(x)) 
df['vector2']=df['snippet'].apply(lambda x: text_to_vector(x)) 
df['simscore']=df.apply(lambda x: get_cosine(x['vector1'],x['vector2']),axis=1)

Where is the Keytool application?

keytool is part of the standard java distribution.

In a windows 64-bit machine, you would normally find the jdk at

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin

It is used for managing keys and certificates you can sign things with, in your case, probably a jar file.

If you provide more details of what you need to do, we could probably give you a more specific answer.

curl usage to get header

You need to add the -i flag to the first command, to include the HTTP header in the output. This is required to print headers.

In a Dockerfile, How to update PATH environment variable?

[I mentioned this in response to the selected answer, but it was suggested to make it more prominent as an answer of its own]

It should be noted that

ENV PATH="/opt/gtk/bin:${PATH}" 

may not be the same as

ENV PATH="/opt/gtk/bin:$PATH" 

The former, with curly brackets, might provide you with the host's PATH. The documentation doesn't suggest this would be the case, but I have observed that it is. This is simple to check just do RUN echo $PATH and compare it to RUN echo ${PATH}

How to set timeout on python's socket recv method?

Got a bit confused from the top answers so I've wrote a small gist with examples for better understanding.


Option #1 - socket.settimeout()

Will raise an exception in case the sock.recv() waits for more than the defined timeout.

import socket

sock = socket.create_connection(('neverssl.com', 80))
timeout_seconds = 2
sock.settimeout(timeout_seconds)
sock.send(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: neverssl.com\r\n\r\n')
data = sock.recv(4096)
data = sock.recv(4096) # <- will raise a socket.timeout exception here

Option #2 - select.select()

Waits until data is sent until the timeout is reached. I've tweaked Daniel's answer so it will raise an exception

import select
import socket

def recv_timeout(sock, bytes_to_read, timeout_seconds):
    sock.setblocking(0)
    ready = select.select([sock], [], [], timeout_seconds)
    if ready[0]:
        return sock.recv(bytes_to_read)

    raise socket.timeout()

sock = socket.create_connection(('neverssl.com', 80))
timeout_seconds = 2
sock.send(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: neverssl.com\r\n\r\n')
data = recv_timeout(sock, 4096, timeout_seconds)
data = recv_timeout(sock, 4096, timeout_seconds) # <- will raise a socket.timeout exception here

How do I enable EF migrations for multiple contexts to separate databases?

EF 4.7 actually gives a hint when you run Enable-migrations at multiple context.

More than one context type was found in the assembly 'Service.Domain'.

To enable migrations for 'Service.Domain.DatabaseContext.Context1', 
use Enable-Migrations -ContextTypeName Service.Domain.DatabaseContext.Context1.
To enable migrations for 'Service.Domain.DatabaseContext.Context2',
use Enable-Migrations -ContextTypeName Service.Domain.DatabaseContext.Context2.

What's the difference between ASCII and Unicode?

ASCII has 128 code points, 0 through 127. It can fit in a single 8-bit byte, the values 128 through 255 tended to be used for other characters. With incompatible choices, causing the code page disaster. Text encoded in one code page cannot be read correctly by a program that assumes or guessed at another code page.

Unicode came about to solve this disaster. Version 1 started out with 65536 code points, commonly encoded in 16 bits. Later extended in version 2 to 1.1 million code points. The current version is 6.3, using 110,187 of the available 1.1 million code points. That doesn't fit in 16 bits anymore.

Encoding in 16-bits was common when v2 came around, used by Microsoft and Apple operating systems for example. And language runtimes like Java. The v2 spec came up with a way to map those 1.1 million code points into 16-bits. An encoding called UTF-16, a variable length encoding where one code point can take either 2 or 4 bytes. The original v1 code points take 2 bytes, added ones take 4.

Another variable length encoding that's very common, used in *nix operating systems and tools is UTF-8, a code point can take between 1 and 4 bytes, the original ASCII codes take 1 byte the rest take more. The only non-variable length encoding is UTF-32, takes 4 bytes for a code point. Not often used since it is pretty wasteful. There are other ones, like UTF-1 and UTF-7, widely ignored.

An issue with the UTF-16/32 encodings is that the order of the bytes will depend on the endian-ness of the machine that created the text stream. So add to the mix UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE and UTF-32LE.

Having these different encoding choices brings back the code page disaster to some degree, along with heated debates among programmers which UTF choice is "best". Their association with operating system defaults pretty much draws the lines. One counter-measure is the definition of a BOM, the Byte Order Mark, a special codepoint (U+FEFF, zero width space) at the beginning of a text stream that indicates how the rest of the stream is encoded. It indicates both the UTF encoding and the endianess and is neutral to a text rendering engine. Unfortunately it is optional and many programmers claim their right to omit it so accidents are still pretty common.

Copying data from one SQLite database to another

If you use DB Browser for SQLite, you can copy the table from one db to another in following steps:

  1. Open two instances of the app and load the source db and target db side by side.
  2. If the target db does not have the table, "Copy Create Statement" from the source db and then paste the sql statement in "Execute SQL" tab and run the sql to create the table.
  3. In the source db, export the table as a CSV file.
  4. In the target db, import the CSV file to the table with the same table name. The app will ask you do you want to import the data to the existing table, click yes. Done.

how to delete the content of text file without deleting itself

using : New Java 7 NIO library, try

        if(!Files.exists(filePath.getParent())) {
            Files.createDirectory(filePath.getParent());
        }
        if(!Files.exists(filePath)) {
            Files.createFile(filePath);
        }
        // Empty the file content
        writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(filePath);
        writer.write("");
        writer.flush();

The above code checks if Directoty exist if not creates the directory, checks if file exists is yes it writes empty string and flushes the buffer, in the end yo get the writer pointing to empty file

Difference between File.separator and slash in paths

Using File.separator made Ubuntu generate files with "\" on it's name instead of directories. Maybe I am being lazy with how I am making files(and directories) and could have avoided it, regardless, use "/" every time to avoid files with "\" on it's name

Create a zip file and download it

One of the error could be that the file is not read as 'archive' format. check out ZipArchive not opening file - Error Code: 19. Open the downloaded file in text editor, if you have any html tags or debug statements at the starting, clear the buffer before reading the file.

ob_clean();

Why can't I inherit static classes?

Think about it this way: you access static members via type name, like this:

MyStaticType.MyStaticMember();

Were you to inherit from that class, you would have to access it via the new type name:

MyNewType.MyStaticMember();

Thus, the new item bears no relationships to the original when used in code. There would be no way to take advantage of any inheritance relationship for things like polymorphism.

Perhaps you're thinking you just want to extend some of the items in the original class. In that case, there's nothing preventing you from just using a member of the original in an entirely new type.

Perhaps you want to add methods to an existing static type. You can do that already via extension methods.

Perhaps you want to be able to pass a static Type to a function at runtime and call a method on that type, without knowing exactly what the method does. In that case, you can use an Interface.

So, in the end you don't really gain anything from inheriting static classes.

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

Here is what you do in Excel 2003:

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

Here is what you do in Excel 2007:

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

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


If you really need to keep some calculations secret, try this: use Access (or another Excel workbook or some other DB of your choice) to calculate what you need calculated, and export only the "unclassified" results to your Excel workbook.

Is mathematics necessary for programming?

Programming is a tool of computer science.

In many area's of programming, math is in the back seat. If you don't know how to quick sort, download a module to do it for you. You don't understand elliptical curves, no problem, buy an AES encryption module.


Now for computer science. Yes, you need higher level math. No doubt about it. Cryptography, operating systems, compiler construction, machine learning, programming languages, and so on all require some form of higher math (calculus, discrete, linear, complex) to fully understand.

Unsuccessful append to an empty NumPy array

This error arise from the fact that you are trying to define an object of shape (0,) as an object of shape (2,). If you append what you want without forcing it to be equal to result[0] there is no any issue:

b = np.append([result[0]], [1,2])

But when you define result[0] = b you are equating objects of different shapes, and you can not do this. What are you trying to do?

List the queries running on SQL Server

There are various management views built into the product. On SQL 2000 you'd use sysprocesses. On SQL 2K5 there are more views like sys.dm_exec_connections, sys.dm_exec_sessions and sys.dm_exec_requests.

There are also procedures like sp_who that leverage these views. In 2K5 Management Studio you also get Activity Monitor.

And last but not least there are community contributed scripts like the Who Is Active by Adam Machanic.

SUMMARY

  • In server side you can read original file name (and other info) which is automatically included to request by browser in filename formData parameter.
  • You do NOT need to set request header Content-Type to multipart/form-data - this will be set automatically by browser.
  • Instead of /upload/image you can use full address like http://.../upload/image.
  • If you want to send many files in single request use multiple attribute: <input multiple type=... />, and attach all chosen files to formData in similar way (e.g. photo2=...files[2];... formData.append("photo2", photo2);)
  • You can include additional data (json) to request e.g. let user = {name:'john', age:34} in this way: formData.append("user", JSON.stringify(user));
  • You can set timeout: for fetch using AbortController, for old approach by xhr.timeout= milisec
  • This solutions should work on all major browsers.

How to iterate over arguments in a Bash script

Rewrite of a now-deleted answer by VonC.

Robert Gamble's succinct answer deals directly with the question. This one amplifies on some issues with filenames containing spaces.

See also: ${1:+"$@"} in /bin/sh

Basic thesis: "$@" is correct, and $* (unquoted) is almost always wrong. This is because "$@" works fine when arguments contain spaces, and works the same as $* when they don't. In some circumstances, "$*" is OK too, but "$@" usually (but not always) works in the same places. Unquoted, $@ and $* are equivalent (and almost always wrong).

So, what is the difference between $*, $@, "$*", and "$@"? They are all related to 'all the arguments to the shell', but they do different things. When unquoted, $* and $@ do the same thing. They treat each 'word' (sequence of non-whitespace) as a separate argument. The quoted forms are quite different, though: "$*" treats the argument list as a single space-separated string, whereas "$@" treats the arguments almost exactly as they were when specified on the command line. "$@" expands to nothing at all when there are no positional arguments; "$*" expands to an empty string — and yes, there's a difference, though it can be hard to perceive it. See more information below, after the introduction of the (non-standard) command al.

Secondary thesis: if you need to process arguments with spaces and then pass them on to other commands, then you sometimes need non-standard tools to assist. (Or you should use arrays, carefully: "${array[@]}" behaves analogously to "$@".)

Example:

    $ mkdir "my dir" anotherdir
    $ ls
    anotherdir      my dir
    $ cp /dev/null "my dir/my file"
    $ cp /dev/null "anotherdir/myfile"
    $ ls -Fltr
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x   3 jleffler  staff  102 Nov  1 14:55 my dir/
    drwxr-xr-x   3 jleffler  staff  102 Nov  1 14:55 anotherdir/
    $ ls -Fltr *
    my dir:
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff  0 Nov  1 14:55 my file

    anotherdir:
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff  0 Nov  1 14:55 myfile
    $ ls -Fltr "./my dir" "./anotherdir"
    ./my dir:
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff  0 Nov  1 14:55 my file

    ./anotherdir:
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff  0 Nov  1 14:55 myfile
    $ var='"./my dir" "./anotherdir"' && echo $var
    "./my dir" "./anotherdir"
    $ ls -Fltr $var
    ls: "./anotherdir": No such file or directory
    ls: "./my: No such file or directory
    ls: dir": No such file or directory
    $

Why doesn't that work? It doesn't work because the shell processes quotes before it expands variables. So, to get the shell to pay attention to the quotes embedded in $var, you have to use eval:

    $ eval ls -Fltr $var
    ./my dir:
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff  0 Nov  1 14:55 my file

    ./anotherdir:
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff  0 Nov  1 14:55 myfile
    $ 

This gets really tricky when you have file names such as "He said, "Don't do this!"" (with quotes and double quotes and spaces).

    $ cp /dev/null "He said, \"Don't do this!\""
    $ ls
    He said, "Don't do this!"       anotherdir                      my dir
    $ ls -l
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--   1 jleffler  staff    0 Nov  1 15:54 He said, "Don't do this!"
    drwxr-xr-x   3 jleffler  staff  102 Nov  1 14:55 anotherdir
    drwxr-xr-x   3 jleffler  staff  102 Nov  1 14:55 my dir
    $ 

The shells (all of them) do not make it particularly easy to handle such stuff, so (funnily enough) many Unix programs do not do a good job of handling them. On Unix, a filename (single component) can contain any characters except slash and NUL '\0'. However, the shells strongly encourage no spaces or newlines or tabs anywhere in a path names. It is also why standard Unix file names do not contain spaces, etc.

When dealing with file names that may contain spaces and other troublesome characters, you have to be extremely careful, and I found long ago that I needed a program that is not standard on Unix. I call it escape (version 1.1 was dated 1989-08-23T16:01:45Z).

Here is an example of escape in use - with the SCCS control system. It is a cover script that does both a delta (think check-in) and a get (think check-out). Various arguments, especially -y (the reason why you made the change) would contain blanks and newlines. Note that the script dates from 1992, so it uses back-ticks instead of $(cmd ...) notation and does not use #!/bin/sh on the first line.

:   "@(#)$Id: delget.sh,v 1.8 1992/12/29 10:46:21 jl Exp $"
#
#   Delta and get files
#   Uses escape to allow for all weird combinations of quotes in arguments

case `basename $0 .sh` in
deledit)    eflag="-e";;
esac

sflag="-s"
for arg in "$@"
do
    case "$arg" in
    -r*)    gargs="$gargs `escape \"$arg\"`"
            dargs="$dargs `escape \"$arg\"`"
            ;;
    -e)     gargs="$gargs `escape \"$arg\"`"
            sflag=""
            eflag=""
            ;;
    -*)     dargs="$dargs `escape \"$arg\"`"
            ;;
    *)      gargs="$gargs `escape \"$arg\"`"
            dargs="$dargs `escape \"$arg\"`"
            ;;
    esac
done

eval delta "$dargs" && eval get $eflag $sflag "$gargs"

(I would probably not use escape quite so thoroughly these days - it is not needed with the -e argument, for example - but overall, this is one of my simpler scripts using escape.)

The escape program simply outputs its arguments, rather like echo does, but it ensures that the arguments are protected for use with eval (one level of eval; I do have a program which did remote shell execution, and that needed to escape the output of escape).

    $ escape $var
    '"./my' 'dir"' '"./anotherdir"'
    $ escape "$var"
    '"./my dir" "./anotherdir"'
    $ escape x y z
    x y z
    $ 

I have another program called al that lists its arguments one per line (and it is even more ancient: version 1.1 dated 1987-01-27T14:35:49). It is most useful when debugging scripts, as it can be plugged into a command line to see what arguments are actually passed to the command.

    $ echo "$var"
    "./my dir" "./anotherdir"
    $ al $var
    "./my
    dir"
    "./anotherdir"
    $ al "$var"
    "./my dir" "./anotherdir"
    $

[Added: And now to show the difference between the various "$@" notations, here is one more example:

$ cat xx.sh
set -x
al $@
al $*
al "$*"
al "$@"
$ sh xx.sh     *      */*
+ al He said, '"Don'\''t' do 'this!"' anotherdir my dir xx.sh anotherdir/myfile my dir/my file
He
said,
"Don't
do
this!"
anotherdir
my
dir
xx.sh
anotherdir/myfile
my
dir/my
file
+ al He said, '"Don'\''t' do 'this!"' anotherdir my dir xx.sh anotherdir/myfile my dir/my file
He
said,
"Don't
do
this!"
anotherdir
my
dir
xx.sh
anotherdir/myfile
my
dir/my
file
+ al 'He said, "Don'\''t do this!" anotherdir my dir xx.sh anotherdir/myfile my dir/my file'
He said, "Don't do this!" anotherdir my dir xx.sh anotherdir/myfile my dir/my file
+ al 'He said, "Don'\''t do this!"' anotherdir 'my dir' xx.sh anotherdir/myfile 'my dir/my file'
He said, "Don't do this!"
anotherdir
my dir
xx.sh
anotherdir/myfile
my dir/my file
$

Notice that nothing preserves the original blanks between the * and */* on the command line. Also, note that you can change the 'command line arguments' in the shell by using:

set -- -new -opt and "arg with space"

This sets 4 options, '-new', '-opt', 'and', and 'arg with space'.
]

Hmm, that's quite a long answer - perhaps exegesis is the better term. Source code for escape available on request (email to firstname dot lastname at gmail dot com). The source code for al is incredibly simple:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    while (*++argv != 0)
        puts(*argv);
    return(0);
}

That's all. It is equivalent to the test.sh script that Robert Gamble showed, and could be written as a shell function (but shell functions didn't exist in the local version of Bourne shell when I first wrote al).

Also note that you can write al as a simple shell script:

[ $# != 0 ] && printf "%s\n" "$@"

The conditional is needed so that it produces no output when passed no arguments. The printf command will produce a blank line with only the format string argument, but the C program produces nothing.

How to set custom JsonSerializerSettings for Json.NET in ASP.NET Web API?

You can customize the JsonSerializerSettings by using the Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings property in the HttpConfiguration object.

For example, you could do that in the Application_Start() method:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    HttpConfiguration config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;
    config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Formatting =
        Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented;
}

What is std::move(), and when should it be used?

Wikipedia Page on C++11 R-value references and move constructors

  1. In C++11, in addition to copy constructors, objects can have move constructors.
    (And in addition to copy assignment operators, they have move assignment operators.)
  2. The move constructor is used instead of the copy constructor, if the object has type "rvalue-reference" (Type &&).
  3. std::move() is a cast that produces an rvalue-reference to an object, to enable moving from it.

It's a new C++ way to avoid copies. For example, using a move constructor, a std::vector could just copy its internal pointer to data to the new object, leaving the moved object in an moved from state, therefore not copying all the data. This would be C++-valid.

Try googling for move semantics, rvalue, perfect forwarding.

How do I send a file in Android from a mobile device to server using http?

the most effective method is to use android-async-http

You can use this code to upload a file:

// gather your request parameters
File myFile = new File("/path/to/file.png");
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
try {
    params.put("profile_picture", myFile);
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {}

// send request
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.post(url, params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] bytes) {
        // handle success response
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] bytes, Throwable throwable) {
        // handle failure response
    }
});

Note that you can put this code directly into your main Activity, no need to create a background Task explicitly. AsyncHttp will take care of that for you!

Using Keras & Tensorflow with AMD GPU

One can use AMD GPU via the PlaidML Keras backend.

Fastest: PlaidML is often 10x faster (or more) than popular platforms (like TensorFlow CPU) because it supports all GPUs, independent of make and model. PlaidML accelerates deep learning on AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, ARM, and embedded GPUs.

Easiest: PlaidML is simple to install and supports multiple frontends (Keras and ONNX currently)

Free: PlaidML is completely open source and doesn't rely on any vendor libraries with proprietary and restrictive licenses.

For most platforms, getting started with accelerated deep learning is as easy as running a few commands (assuming you have Python (v2 or v3) installed):

virtualenv plaidml
source plaidml/bin/activate
pip install plaidml-keras plaidbench

Choose which accelerator you'd like to use (many computers, especially laptops, have multiple):

plaidml-setup

Next, try benchmarking MobileNet inference performance:

plaidbench keras mobilenet

Or, try training MobileNet:

plaidbench --batch-size 16 keras --train mobilenet

To use it with keras set

os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "plaidml.keras.backend"

When should I use git pull --rebase?

You should use git pull --rebase when

  • your changes do not deserve a separate branch

Indeed -- why not then? It's more clear, and doesn't impose a logical grouping on your commits.


Ok, I suppose it needs some clarification. In Git, as you probably know, you're encouraged to branch and merge. Your local branch, into which you pull changes, and remote branch are, actually, different branches, and git pull is about merging them. It's reasonable, since you push not very often and usually accumulate a number of changes before they constitute a completed feature.

However, sometimes--by whatever reason--you think that it would actually be better if these two--remote and local--were one branch. Like in SVN. It is here where git pull --rebase comes into play. You no longer merge--you actually commit on top of the remote branch. That's what it actually is about.

Whether it's dangerous or not is the question of whether you are treating local and remote branch as one inseparable thing. Sometimes it's reasonable (when your changes are small, or if you're at the beginning of a robust development, when important changes are brought in by small commits). Sometimes it's not (when you'd normally create another branch, but you were too lazy to do that). But that's a different question.

Ruby: How to post a file via HTTP as multipart/form-data?

curb looks like a great solution, but in case it doesn't meet your needs, you can do it with Net::HTTP. A multipart form post is just a carefully-formatted string with some extra headers. It seems like every Ruby programmer who needs to do multipart posts ends up writing their own little library for it, which makes me wonder why this functionality isn't built-in. Maybe it is... Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I'll go ahead and give my solution here. This code is based off of examples I found on a couple of blogs, but I regret that I can't find the links anymore. So I guess I just have to take all the credit for myself...

The module I wrote for this contains one public class, for generating the form data and headers out of a hash of String and File objects. So for example, if you wanted to post a form with a string parameter named "title" and a file parameter named "document", you would do the following:

#prepare the query
data, headers = Multipart::Post.prepare_query("title" => my_string, "document" => my_file)

Then you just do a normal POST with Net::HTTP:

http = Net::HTTP.new(upload_uri.host, upload_uri.port)
res = http.start {|con| con.post(upload_uri.path, data, headers) }

Or however else you want to do the POST. The point is that Multipart returns the data and headers that you need to send. And that's it! Simple, right? Here's the code for the Multipart module (you need the mime-types gem):

# Takes a hash of string and file parameters and returns a string of text
# formatted to be sent as a multipart form post.

Assign width to half available screen width declaratively

If your widget is a Button:

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:weightSum="2"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    <Button android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="somebutton"/>

    <TextView android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>

I'm assuming you want your widget to take up one half, and another widget to take up the other half. The trick is using a LinearLayout, setting layout_width="fill_parent" on both widgets, and setting layout_weight to the same value on both widgets as well. If there are two widgets, both with the same weight, the LinearLayout will split the width between the two widgets.

Auto-fit TextView for Android

Try adding LayoutParams and MaxWidth and MaxHeight to the TextView. It will force the layout to respect the parent container and not overflow.

textview.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LinearLayout.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.WRAP_CONTENT));

int GeneralApproxHeightOfContainer = 600;
textview.setMaxWidth(400);
textview.setMaxHeight(600);`

How to import a single table in to mysql database using command line

Linux :

In command line

 mysql -u username -p  databasename  < path/example.sql

put your table in example.sql

Import / Export for single table:

  1. Export table schema

    mysqldump -u username -p databasename tableName > path/example.sql
    

    This will create a file named example.sql at the path mentioned and write the create table sql command to create table tableName.

  2. Import data into table

    mysql -u username -p databasename < path/example.sql
    

    This command needs an sql file containing data in form of insert statements for table tableName. All the insert statements will be executed and the data will be loaded.

System.Collections.Generic.List does not contain a definition for 'Select'

You need to have the System.Linq namespace included in your view since Select is an extension method. You have a couple of options on how to do this:

Add @using System.Linq to the top of your cshtml file.

If you find that you will be using this namespace often in many of your views, you can do this for all views by modifying the web.config inside of your Views folder (not the one at the root). You should see a pages/namespace XML element, create a new add child that adds System.Linq. Here is an example:

<configuration>
    <system.web.webPages.razor>
        <pages>
            <namespaces>
                <add namespace="System.Linq" />

Resize external website content to fit iFrame width

What you can do is set specific width and height to your iframe (for example these could be equal to your window dimensions) and then applying a scale transformation to it. The scale value will be the ratio between your window width and the dimension you wanted to set to your iframe.

E.g.

Changing background color of selected cell?

For iOS7+ and if you are using Interface Builder then subclass your cell and implement:

Objective-C

- (void)awakeFromNib {
    [super awakeFromNib];
    // Default Select background
    UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] init];
    v.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    self.selectedBackgroundView = v;
}

Swift 2.2

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    // Default Select background
    self.selectedBackgroundView = { view in
        view.backgroundColor = .redColor()
        return view
    }(UIView())
}

Unicode, UTF, ASCII, ANSI format differences

Some reading to get you started on character encodings: Joel on Software: The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)

By the way - ASP.NET has nothing to do with it. Encodings are universal.

How to delete the top 1000 rows from a table using Sql Server 2008?

It is fast. Try it:

DELETE FROM YourTABLE
FROM (SELECT TOP XX PK FROM YourTABLE) tbl
WHERE YourTABLE.PK = tbl.PK

Replace YourTABLE by table name, XX by a number, for example 1000, pk is the name of the primary key field of your table.

PostgreSQL, checking date relative to "today"

This should give you the current date minus 1 year:

select now() - interval '1 year';

how to save canvas as png image?

I maybe discovered a better way for not forcing the user to right click and "save image as". Live draw the canvas base64 code into the href of the link and modify it so the download will start automatically. I don't know if it's universally browser compatible, but it should work with the main/new browsers.

var canvas = document.getElementById('your-canvas');
    if (canvas.getContext) {
        var C = canvas.getContext('2d');
    }

$('#your-canvas').mousedown(function(event) {
    // feel free to choose your event ;) 

    // just for example
    // var OFFSET = $(this).offset();
    // var x = event.pageX - OFFSET.left;
    // var y = event.pageY - OFFSET.top;

    // standard data to url
    var imgdata = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
    // modify the dataUrl so the browser starts downloading it instead of just showing it
    var newdata = imgdata.replace(/^data:image\/png/,'data:application/octet-stream');
    // give the link the values it needs
    $('a.linkwithnewattr').attr('download','your_pic_name.png').attr('href',newdata);

});

You can wrap the <a> around anything you want.

WordPress path url in js script file

If the javascript file is loaded from the admin dashboard, this javascript function will give you the root of your WordPress installation. I use this a lot when I'm building plugins that need to make ajax requests from the admin dashboard.

function getHomeUrl() {
  var href = window.location.href;
  var index = href.indexOf('/wp-admin');
  var homeUrl = href.substring(0, index);
  return homeUrl;
}

How are VST Plugins made?

If you know a .NET language (C#/VB.NET etc) then checkout VST.NET. This framework allows you to create (unmanaged) VST 2.4 plugins in .NET. It comes with a framework that structures and simplifies the creation of a VST Plugin with support for Parameters, Programs and Persistence.

There are several samples that demonstrate the typical plugin scenarios. There's also documentation that explains how to get started and some of the concepts behind VST.NET.

Hope it helps. Marc Jacobi

Confirm deletion in modal / dialog using Twitter Bootstrap?

http://bootboxjs.com/ - latest works with Bootstrap 3.0.0

The simplest possible example:

bootbox.alert("Hello world!"); 

From the site:

The library exposes three methods designed to mimic their native JavaScript equivalents. Their exact method signatures are flexible as each can take various parameters to customise labels and specify defaults, but they are most commonly called like so:

bootbox.alert(message, callback)
bootbox.prompt(message, callback)
bootbox.confirm(message, callback)

Here's a snippet of it in action (click "Run code snippet" below):

jQuery Call to WebService returns "No Transport" error

For me it is an entirely different story.
Since this page has a good search engine ranking, I should add my case and the solution here too.

I built jquery myself with webpack picking only the modules I use. The ajax is always failed with "No Transport" message as the only clue.

After a long debugging, the problem turns out to be XMLHttpRequest is pluggable in jquery and it not include by default.

You have to explicitly include jquery/src/ajax/xhr file in order to make the ajax working in browsers.

Default settings Raspberry Pi /etc/network/interfaces

Assuming that you have a DHCP server running at your router I would use:

# /etc/network/interfaces

iface eth0 inet dhcp

After changing the file issue (as root):

/etc/init.d/networking restart

python filter list of dictionaries based on key value

Use filter, or if the number of dictionaries in exampleSet is too high, use ifilter of the itertools module. It would return an iterator, instead of filling up your system's memory with the entire list at once:

from itertools import ifilter
for elem in ifilter(lambda x: x['type'] in keyValList, exampleSet):
    print elem

How to include view/partial specific styling in AngularJS

If you only need your CSS to be applied to one specific view, I'm using this handy snippet inside my controller:

$("body").addClass("mystate");

$scope.$on("$destroy", function() {
  $("body").removeClass("mystate"); 
});

This will add a class to my body tag when the state loads, and remove it when the state is destroyed (i.e. someone changes pages). This solves my related problem of only needing CSS to be applied to one state in my application.

How to update ruby on linux (ubuntu)?

How do I break out of a loop in Scala?

Since there is no break in Scala yet, you could try to solve this problem with using a return-statement. Therefore you need to put your inner loop into a function, otherwise the return would skip the whole loop.

Scala 2.8 however includes a way to break

Angular 2 optional route parameter

Facing a similar problem with lazy loading I have done this:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'users',
    redirectTo: 'users/',
    pathMatch: 'full'
  },
  {
    path: 'users',
    loadChildren: './users/users.module#UserssModule',
    runGuardsAndResolvers: 'always'
  },
[...]

And then in the component:

  ngOnInit() {
    this.activatedRoute.paramMap.pipe(
      switchMap(
        (params: ParamMap) => {
          let id: string = params.get('id');
          if (id == "") {
            return of(undefined);
          }
          return this.usersService.getUser(Number(params.get('id')));
        }
      )
    ).subscribe(user => this.selectedUser = user);
  }

This way:

  • The route without / is redirected to the route with. Because of the pathMatch: 'full', only such specific full route is redirected.

  • Then, users/:id is received. If the actual route was users/, id is "", so check it in ngOnInit and act accordingly; else, id is the id and proceed.

  • The rest of the componect acts on selectedUser is or not undefined (*ngIf and the things like that).

Consider defining a bean of type 'package' in your configuration [Spring-Boot]

There is a chance that you are trying to @autowired an interface before implement the interface.

    public interface UserService {
        User findByUsername(String username);
    .....
    }
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
     **UserServiceImpl.java**
     @Service
     public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService{

         public User findByUsername(String username) {
           return userDao.findByUsername(username);
         }
        ....
      }

Str_replace for multiple items

In my use case, I parameterized some fields in an HTML document, and once I load these fields I match and replace them using the str_replace method.

<?php echo str_replace(array("{{client_name}}", "{{client_testing}}"), array('client_company_name', 'test'), 'html_document'); ?>

Force update of an Android app when a new version is available

It is better to define our own process to for upgrade.

  1. Create a web service which gives latest version for app (ios,android) from our server.
  2. Or Any web service that you used in app (e.g Login) will return latest app version from server.
  3. Once app will get version from #1 or 2. App will cross check it with local/cuurent appversion. if there is difference then we can show alert as follows,

Android & iOS : If latest app version available then it will show alert as “Latest version available with more features, To upgrade click on upgrade button” (Alert with “Upgarde” and “No. Thanks” button.) Then app will redirect to playstore/Appstore and it will open latest version.

 --- we can do upgrade compulsory or optionally.

Before Upgrade process please make sure that you handled proper db migration process if there is any db schema change.

How to write and save html file in python?

You can create multi-line strings by enclosing them in triple quotes. So you can store your HTML in a string and pass that string to write():

html_str = """
<table border=1>
     <tr>
       <th>Number</th>
       <th>Square</th>
     </tr>
     <indent>
     <% for i in range(10): %>
       <tr>
         <td><%= i %></td>
         <td><%= i**2 %></td>
       </tr>
     </indent>
</table>
"""

Html_file= open("filename","w")
Html_file.write(html_str)
Html_file.close()

How do I right align div elements?

How to use Greek symbols in ggplot2?

Simplest solution: Use Unicode Characters

No expression or other packages needed.
Not sure if this is a newer feature for ggplot, but it works. It also makes it easy to mix Greek and regular text (like adding '*' to the ticks)

Just use unicode characters within the text string. seems to work well for all options I can think of. Edit: previously it did not work in facet labels. This has apparently been fixed at some point.

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, 
       aes(mpg, disp, color=factor(gear))) + 
  geom_point() + 
  labs(title="Title (\u03b1 \u03a9)", # works fine
       x= "\u03b1 \u03a9 x-axis title",    # works fine
       y= "\u03b1 \u03a9 y-axis title",    # works fine
       color="\u03b1 \u03a9 Groups:") +  # works fine
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(10, 35, 5), 
                     labels = paste0(seq(10, 35, 5), "\u03a9*")) + # works fine; to label the ticks
  ggrepel::geom_text_repel(aes(label = paste(rownames(mtcars), "\u03a9*")), size =3) + # works fine 
  facet_grid(~paste0(gear, " Gears \u03a9"))

:last-child not working as expected?

:last-child will not work if the element is not the VERY LAST element

In addition to Harry's answer, I think it's crucial to add/emphasize that :last-child will not work if the element is not the VERY LAST element in a container. For whatever reason it took me hours to realize that, and even though Harry's answer is very thorough I couldn't extract that information from "The last-child selector is used to select the last child element of a parent."

Suppose this is my selector: a:last-child {}

This works:

<div>
    <a></a>
    <a>This will be selected</a>
</div>

This doesn't:

<div>
    <a></a>
    <a>This will no longer be selected</a>
    <div>This is now the last child :'( </div>
</div>

It doesn't because the a element is not the last element inside its parent.

It may be obvious, but it was not for me...

What does the star operator mean, in a function call?

In a function call the single star turns a list into seperate arguments (e.g. zip(*x) is the same as zip(x1,x2,x3) if x=[x1,x2,x3]) and the double star turns a dictionary into seperate keyword arguments (e.g. f(**k) is the same as f(x=my_x, y=my_y) if k = {'x':my_x, 'y':my_y}.

In a function definition it's the other way around: the single star turns an arbitrary number of arguments into a list, and the double start turns an arbitrary number of keyword arguments into a dictionary. E.g. def foo(*x) means "foo takes an arbitrary number of arguments and they will be accessible through the list x (i.e. if the user calls foo(1,2,3), x will be [1,2,3])" and def bar(**k) means "bar takes an arbitrary number of keyword arguments and they will be accessible through the dictionary k (i.e. if the user calls bar(x=42, y=23), k will be {'x': 42, 'y': 23})".

Redirect website after certain amount of time

Here's a complete (yet simple) example of redirecting after X seconds, while updating a counter div:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<html>_x000D_
<body>_x000D_
    <div id="counter">5</div>_x000D_
    <script>_x000D_
        setInterval(function() {_x000D_
            var div = document.querySelector("#counter");_x000D_
            var count = div.textContent * 1 - 1;_x000D_
            div.textContent = count;_x000D_
            if (count <= 0) {_x000D_
                window.location.replace("https://example.com");_x000D_
            }_x000D_
        }, 1000);_x000D_
    </script>_x000D_
</body>_x000D_
</html>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The initial content of the counter div is the number of seconds to wait.

Regex to extract URLs from href attribute in HTML with Python

The best answer is...

Don't use a regex

The expression in the accepted answer misses many cases. Among other things, URLs can have unicode characters in them. The regex you want is here, and after looking at it, you may conclude that you don't really want it after all. The most correct version is ten-thousand characters long.

Admittedly, if you were starting with plain, unstructured text with a bunch of URLs in it, then you might need that ten-thousand-character-long regex. But if your input is structured, use the structure. Your stated aim is to "extract the url, inside the anchor tag's href." Why use a ten-thousand-character-long regex when you can do something much simpler?

Parse the HTML instead

For many tasks, using Beautiful Soup will be far faster and easier to use:

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as Soup
>>> html = Soup(s, 'html.parser')           # Soup(s, 'lxml') if lxml is installed
>>> [a['href'] for a in html.find_all('a')]
['http://example.com', 'http://example2.com']

If you prefer not to use external tools, you can also directly use Python's own built-in HTML parsing library. Here's a really simple subclass of HTMLParser that does exactly what you want:

from html.parser import HTMLParser

class MyParser(HTMLParser):
    def __init__(self, output_list=None):
        HTMLParser.__init__(self)
        if output_list is None:
            self.output_list = []
        else:
            self.output_list = output_list
    def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
        if tag == 'a':
            self.output_list.append(dict(attrs).get('href'))

Test:

>>> p = MyParser()
>>> p.feed(s)
>>> p.output_list
['http://example.com', 'http://example2.com']

You could even create a new method that accepts a string, calls feed, and returns output_list. This is a vastly more powerful and extensible way than regular expressions to extract information from html.

How can I make text appear on next line instead of overflowing?

Try the <wbr> tag - not as elegant as the word-wrap property that others suggested, but it's a working solution until all major browsers (read IE) implement CSS3.

Links not going back a directory?

There are two type of paths: absolute and relative. This is basically the same for files in your hard disc and directories in a URL.

Absolute paths start with a leading slash. They always point to the same location, no matter where you use them:

  • /pages/en/faqs/faq-page1.html

Relative paths are the rest (all that do not start with slash). The location they point to depends on where you are using them

  • index.html is:
    • /pages/en/faqs/index.html if called from /pages/en/faqs/faq-page1.html
    • /pages/index.html if called from /pages/example.html
    • etc.

There are also two special directory names: . and ..:

  • . means "current directory"
  • .. means "parent directory"

You can use them to build relative paths:

  • ../index.html is /pages/en/index.html if called from /pages/en/faqs/faq-page1.html
  • ../../index.html is /pages/index.html if called from /pages/en/faqs/faq-page1.html

Once you're familiar with the terms, it's easy to understand what it's failing and how to fix it. You have two options:

  • Use absolute paths
  • Fix your relative paths

How do I change the hover over color for a hover over table in Bootstrap?

Instead of changing the default table-hover class, make a new class ( anotherhover ) and apply it to the table that you need this effect for.

Identify duplicates in a List

Similar to some answers here, but if you want to find duplicates based on some property:

  public static <T, R> Set<R> findDuplicates(Collection<? extends T> collection, Function<? super T, ? extends R> mapper) {
    Set<R> uniques = new HashSet<>();
    return collection.stream()
        .map(mapper)
        .filter(e -> !uniques.add(e))
        .collect(toSet());
  }

How can I update a row in a DataTable in VB.NET?

Dim myRow() As Data.DataRow
myRow = dt.Select("MyColumnName = 'SomeColumnTitle'")
myRow(0)("SomeOtherColumnTitle") = strValue

Code above instantiates a DataRow. Where "dt" is a DataTable, you get a row by selecting any column (I know, sounds backwards). Then you can then set the value of whatever row you want (I chose the first row, or "myRow(0)"), for whatever column you want.

How can I use Oracle SQL developer to run stored procedures?

I am not sure how to see the actual rows/records that come back.

Stored procedures do not return records. They may have a cursor as an output parameter, which is a pointer to a select statement. But it requires additional action to actually bring back rows from that cursor.

In SQL Developer, you can execute a procedure that returns a ref cursor as follows

var rc refcursor
exec proc_name(:rc)

After that, if you execute the following, it will show the results from the cursor:

print rc

What's the best way to calculate the size of a directory in .NET?

           Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("bea",Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); //incase u r not concerned about upper/lower case
           for (String string : list) {
               if(pattern.matcher(string).find()) {
                   listClone.add(string);
                   continue;
               }
           }
        System.out.println(listClone);

What Content-Type value should I send for my XML sitemap?

The difference between text/xml and application/xml is the default character encoding if the charset parameter is omitted:

Text/xml and application/xml behave differently when the charset parameter is not explicitly specified. If the default charset (i.e., US-ASCII) for text/xml is inconvenient for some reason (e.g., bad web servers), application/xml provides an alternative (see "Optional parameters" of application/xml registration in Section 3.2).

For text/xml:

Conformant with [RFC2046], if a text/xml entity is received with the charset parameter omitted, MIME processors and XML processors MUST use the default charset value of "us-ascii"[ASCII]. In cases where the XML MIME entity is transmitted via HTTP, the default charset value is still "us-ascii".

For application/xml:

If an application/xml entity is received where the charset parameter is omitted, no information is being provided about the charset by the MIME Content-Type header. Conforming XML processors MUST follow the requirements in section 4.3.3 of [XML] that directly address this contingency. However, MIME processors that are not XML processors SHOULD NOT assume a default charset if the charset parameter is omitted from an application/xml entity.

So if the charset parameter is omitted, the character encoding of text/xml is US-ASCII while with application/xml the character encoding can be specified in the document itself.

Now a rule of thumb on the internet is: “Be strict with the output but be tolerant with the input.” That means make sure to meet the standards as much as possible when delivering data over the internet. But build in some mechanisms to overlook faults or to guess when receiving and interpreting data over the internet.

So in your case just pick one of the two types (I recommend application/xml) and make sure to specify the used character encoding properly (I recommend to use the respective default character encoding to play safe, so in case of application/xml use UTF-8 or UTF-16).

How to know if a Fragment is Visible?

Python how to write to a binary file?

To convert from integers < 256 to binary, use the chr function. So you're looking at doing the following.

newFileBytes=[123,3,255,0,100]
newfile=open(path,'wb')
newfile.write((''.join(chr(i) for i in newFileBytes)).encode('charmap'))

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

string1.equals(string2) is right way to do it.

String s = "something", t = "maybe something else";
 if (s == t)      // Legal, but usually results WRONG.
 if (s.equals(t)) // RIGHT way to check the two strings
  /* == will fail in following case:*/
 String s1 = new String("abc");
 String s2 = new String("abc");

 if(s1==s2) //it will return false

How to retrieve checkboxes values in jQuery

Anyway, you probably need something like this:

 var val = $('#c_b :checkbox').is(':checked').val();
 $('#t').val( val );

This will get the value of the first checked checkbox on the page and insert that in the textarea with id='textarea'.

Note that in your example code you should put the checkboxes in a form.

Plotting two variables as lines using ggplot2 on the same graph

Using your data:

test_data <- data.frame(
var0 = 100 + c(0, cumsum(runif(49, -20, 20))),
var1 = 150 + c(0, cumsum(runif(49, -10, 10))),
Dates = seq.Date(as.Date("2002-01-01"), by="1 month", length.out=100))

I create a stacked version which is what ggplot() would like to work with:

stacked <- with(test_data,
                data.frame(value = c(var0, var1),
                           variable = factor(rep(c("Var0","Var1"),
                                                 each = NROW(test_data))),
                           Dates = rep(Dates, 2)))

In this case producing stacked was quite easy as we only had to do a couple of manipulations, but reshape() and the reshape and reshape2 might be useful if you have a more complex real data set to manipulate.

Once the data are in this stacked form, it only requires a simple ggplot() call to produce the plot you wanted with all the extras (one reason why higher-level plotting packages like lattice and ggplot2 are so useful):

require(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(stacked, aes(Dates, value, colour = variable))
p + geom_line()

I'll leave it to you to tidy up the axis labels, legend title etc.

How do I connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in Android programmatically?

If your device knows the Wifi configs (already stored), we can bypass rocket science. Just loop through the configs an check if the SSID is matching. If so, connect and return.

Set permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />

Connect:

    try {
    String ssid = null;
    if (wifi == Wifi.PCAN_WIRELESS_GATEWAY) {
        ssid = AesPrefs.get(AesConst.PCAN_WIRELESS_SSID,
                context.getString(R.string.pcan_wireless_ssid_default));
    } else if (wifi == Wifi.KJ_WIFI) {
        ssid = context.getString(R.string.remote_wifi_ssid_default);
    }

    WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getApplicationContext()
            .getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

    List<WifiConfiguration> wifiConfigurations = wifiManager.getConfiguredNetworks();

    for (WifiConfiguration wifiConfiguration : wifiConfigurations) {
        if (wifiConfiguration.SSID.equals("\"" + ssid + "\"")) {
            wifiManager.enableNetwork(wifiConfiguration.networkId, true);
            Log.i(TAG, "connectToWifi: will enable " + wifiConfiguration.SSID);
            wifiManager.reconnect();
            return null; // return! (sometimes logcat showed me network-entries twice,
            // which may will end in bugs)
        }
    }
} catch (NullPointerException | IllegalStateException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, "connectToWifi: Missing network configuration.");
}
return null;

How to use MD5 in javascript to transmit a password

if you're using php jquery, this might help:

   $.ajax({
        url:'phpmd5file.php',
        data:{'mypassword',mypassword},
        dataType:"json",
        method:"POST",
        success:function(mymd5password){
            alert(mymd5password);
        }
    });

on your phpmd5.php file:

echo json_encode($_POST["mypassword"]);

no jsplugins needed. just use ajax and let php md5() do the job.

How to hide Android soft keyboard on EditText

Hello Use this code it is working 100% for me

EditText ee=new EditText(this);
ee.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);

*But you want to just hide keyboard on edittext click given below code will work but keyboard icon and upward sign of back-button will create *Given code is like this

        EditText ee=new EditText(this);//create edittext
        final   View.OnTouchListener disable =new View.OnTouchListener() {
        public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) {
        v.onTouchEvent(event);
        InputMethodManager img = 
        (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (img != null) {
        img.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(),0);
        }
        return true;
        }
        };
        //call touch listener
       ee.setOnTouchListener(disable);

Use also it in case of text-changing listener

        EditText ee= new EditText(this);
        Text=new TextWatcher(){

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int 
        after) {
        InputMethodManager img = (InputMethodManager) 
        getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        img.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ee.getWindowToken(), 0);

        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

        InputMethodManager img = (InputMethodManager) 
        getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        img.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ee.getWindowToken(), 0);

        }
       @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        InputMethodManager img = (InputMethodManager) 
        getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        img.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ee.getWindowToken(), 0);

        }
        };
       ee.addTextChangedListener(Text);

Use it also in case of onclick listener

 EditText ee=new EditText(this);
 ee.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(View v) {

 InputMethodManager img= (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
 img.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ee.getWindowToken(),0);

 }});

All the code will work but for me first code is best

how to fire event on file select

This is an older question that needs a newer answer that will address @Christopher Thomas's concern above in the accept answer's comments. If you don't navigate away from the page and then select the file a second time, you need to clear the value when you click or do a touchstart(for mobile). The below will work even when you navigate away from the page and uses jquery:

//the HTML
<input type="file" id="file" name="file" />



//the JavaScript

/*resets the value to address navigating away from the page 
and choosing to upload the same file */ 

$('#file').on('click touchstart' , function(){
    $(this).val('');
});


//Trigger now when you have selected any file 
$("#file").change(function(e) {
    //do whatever you want here
});

Pass a string parameter in an onclick function

You can pass a reference or string value. Just put the function inside the double commas "" as per the below snapshot:

Easy way to turn JavaScript array into comma-separated list?

Do you want to end it with an "and"?

For this situation, I created an npm module.

Try arrford:


Usage

const arrford = require('arrford');

arrford(['run', 'climb', 'jump!']);
//=> 'run, climb, and jump!'

arrford(['run', 'climb', 'jump!'], false);
//=> 'run, climb and jump!'

arrford(['run', 'climb!']);
//=> 'run and climb!'

arrford(['run!']);
//=> 'run!'


Install

npm install --save arrford

Accessing Redux state in an action creator?

I would like to point out that it is not that bad to read from the store -- it might be just much more convenient to decide what should be done based on the store, than to pass everything to the component and then as a parameter of a function. I agree with Dan completely, that it is much better not to use store as a singletone, unless you are 100% sure that you will use only for client-side rendering (otherwise hard to trace bugs might appear).

I have created a library recently to deal with verbosity of redux, and I think it is a good idea to put everything in the middleware, so you have everyhing as a dependency injection.

So, your example will look like that:

import { createSyncTile } from 'redux-tiles';

const someTile = createSyncTile({
  type: ['some', 'tile'],
  fn: ({ params, selectors, getState }) => {
    return {
      data: params.data,
      items: selectors.another.tile(getState())
    };
  },
});

However, as you can see, we don't really modify data here, so there is a good chance that we can just use this selector in other place to combine it somewhere else.

Remove category & tag base from WordPress url - without a plugin

I don´t know how to do it using code, but for those who don't mind using a plugin. This is a great one that works for me:

https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/

Remove characters before character "."

String input = ....;
int index = input.IndexOf('.');
if(index >= 0)
{
    return input.Substring(index + 1);
}

This will return the new word.

Detecting the character encoding of an HTTP POST request

the default encoding of a HTTP POST is ISO-8859-1.

else you have to look at the Content-Type header that will then look like

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded ; charset=UTF-8

You can maybe declare your form with

<form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8">

or

<form accept-charset="UTF-8">

to force the encoding.

Proper use of errors

Someone posted this link to the MDN in a comment, and I think it was very helpful. It describes things like ErrorTypes very thoroughly.

EvalError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs regarding the global function eval().

InternalError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when an internal error in the JavaScript engine is thrown. E.g. "too much recursion".

RangeError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when a numeric variable or parameter is outside of its valid range.

ReferenceError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when de-referencing an invalid reference.

SyntaxError --- Creates an instance representing a syntax error that occurs while parsing code in eval().

TypeError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when a variable or parameter is not of a valid type.

URIError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when encodeURI() or decodeURI() are passed invalid parameters.

internet explorer 10 - how to apply grayscale filter?

Use this jQuery plugin https://gianlucaguarini.github.io/jQuery.BlackAndWhite/

That seems to be the only one cross-browser solution. Plus it has a nice fade in and fade out effect.

$('.bwWrapper').BlackAndWhite({
    hoverEffect : true, // default true
    // set the path to BnWWorker.js for a superfast implementation
    webworkerPath : false,
    // to invert the hover effect
    invertHoverEffect: false,
    // this option works only on the modern browsers ( on IE lower than 9 it remains always 1)
    intensity:1,
    speed: { //this property could also be just speed: value for both fadeIn and fadeOut
        fadeIn: 200, // 200ms for fadeIn animations
        fadeOut: 800 // 800ms for fadeOut animations
    },
    onImageReady:function(img) {
        // this callback gets executed anytime an image is converted
    }
});

Convert double to BigDecimal and set BigDecimal Precision

In Java 9 the following is deprecated:

BigDecimal.valueOf(d).setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);

instead use:

BigDecimal.valueOf(d).setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);

Example:

    double d = 47.48111;

    System.out.println(BigDecimal.valueOf(d)); //Prints: 47.48111

    BigDecimal bigDecimal = BigDecimal.valueOf(d).setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);
    System.out.println(bigDecimal); //Prints: 47.48

In Node.js, how do I "include" functions from my other files?

Use:

var mymodule = require("./tools.js")

app.js:

module.exports.<your function> = function () {
    <what should the function do>
}

Is there an R function for finding the index of an element in a vector?

The function match works on vectors:

x <- sample(1:10)
x
# [1]  4  5  9  3  8  1  6 10  7  2
match(c(4,8),x)
# [1] 1 5

match only returns the first encounter of a match, as you requested. It returns the position in the second argument of the values in the first argument.

For multiple matching, %in% is the way to go:

x <- sample(1:4,10,replace=TRUE)
x
# [1] 3 4 3 3 2 3 1 1 2 2
which(x %in% c(2,4))
# [1]  2  5  9 10

%in% returns a logical vector as long as the first argument, with a TRUE if that value can be found in the second argument and a FALSE otherwise.

Git push error: "origin does not appear to be a git repository"

To resolving this problem.I just create a new folder and put some new files.Then use these commond.

* git add .
* git commit 
* git remote add master `your address`

then it tells me to login in. To input your username and password. after that

git pull 
git push origin master

finished you have pushed your code to your github

node.js + mysql connection pooling

It's a good approach.

If you just want to get a connection add the following code to your module where the pool is in:

var getConnection = function(callback) {
    pool.getConnection(function(err, connection) {
        callback(err, connection);
    });
};

module.exports = getConnection;

You still have to write getConnection every time. But you could save the connection in the module the first time you get it.

Don't forget to end the connection when you are done using it:

connection.release();

Laravel Request getting current path with query string

Request class doesn't offer a method that would return exactly what you need. But you can easily get it by concatenating results of 2 other methods:

echo (Request::getPathInfo() . (Request::getQueryString() ? ('?' . Request::getQueryString()) : '');

get everything between <tag> and </tag> with php

You can use the following:

$regex = '#<\s*?code\b[^>]*>(.*?)</code\b[^>]*>#s';
  • \b ensures that a typo (like <codeS>) is not captured.
  • The first pattern [^>]* captures the content of a tag with attributes (eg a class).
  • Finally, the flag s capture content with newlines.

See the result here : http://lumadis.be/regex/test_regex.php?id=1081

Python "extend" for a dictionary

A beautiful gem in this closed question:

The "oneliner way", altering neither of the input dicts, is

basket = dict(basket_one, **basket_two)

Learn what **basket_two (the **) means here.

In case of conflict, the items from basket_two will override the ones from basket_one. As one-liners go, this is pretty readable and transparent, and I have no compunction against using it any time a dict that's a mix of two others comes in handy (any reader who has trouble understanding it will in fact be very well served by the way this prompts him or her towards learning about dict and the ** form;-). So, for example, uses like:

x = mungesomedict(dict(adict, **anotherdict))

are reasonably frequent occurrences in my code.

Originally submitted by Alex Martelli

Note: In Python 3, this will only work if every key in basket_two is a string.

How to pass multiple values to single parameter in stored procedure

This can not be done easily. There's no way to make an NVARCHAR parameter take "more than one value". What I've done before is - as you do already - make the parameter value like a list with comma-separated values. Then, split this string up into its parts in the stored procedure.

Splitting up can be done using string functions. Add every part to a temporary table. Pseudo-code for this could be:

CREATE TABLE #TempTable (ID INT)
WHILE LEN(@PortfolioID) > 0
BEGIN
    IF NOT <@PortfolioID contains Comma>
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO #TempTable VALUES CAST(@PortfolioID as INT)
        SET @PortfolioID = ''
    END ELSE
    BEGIN
         INSERT INTO #Temptable VALUES CAST(<Part until next comma> AS INT)
         SET @PortfolioID = <Everything after the next comma>
    END
END

Then, change your condition to

WHERE PortfolioId IN (SELECT ID FROM #TempTable)

EDIT
You may be interested in the documentation for multi value parameters in SSRS, which states:

You can define a multivalue parameter for any report parameter that you create. However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a data source by using the query, the following requirements must be satisfied:

The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, Analysis Services, SAP BI NetWeaver, or Hyperion Essbase.

The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalue parameter array to a stored procedure.

The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.

This I found here.

sqlplus statement from command line

Just be aware that on Unix/Linux your username/password can be seen by anyone that can run "ps -ef" command if you place it directly on the command line . Could be a big security issue (or turn into a big security issue).

I usually recommend creating a file or using here document so you can protect the username/password from being viewed with "ps -ef" command in Unix/Linux. If the username/password is contained in a script file or sql file you can protect using appropriate user/group read permissions. Then you can keep the user/pass inside the file like this in a shell script:

sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
connect user/pass
select blah;
quit
EOF

How to install Laravel's Artisan?

Use the project's root folder

Artisan comes with Laravel by default, if your php command works fine, then the only thing you need to do is to navigate to the project's root folder. The root folder is the parent folder of the app folder. For example:

cd c:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\your-project-name

Now the php artisan list command should work fine, because PHP runs the file called artisan in the project's folder.

Install the framework

Keep in mind that Artisan runs scripts stored in the vendor folder, so if you installed Laravel without Composer, like downloading and extracting the Laravel GitHub repo, then you don't have the framework itself and you may get the following error when you try to use Artisan:

Could not open input file: artisan

To solve this you have to install the framework itself by running composer install in your project's root folder.

How to convert string to datetime format in pandas python?

Approach: 1

Given original string format: 2019/03/04 00:08:48

you can use

updated_df = df['timestamp'].astype('datetime64[ns]')

The result will be in this datetime format: 2019-03-04 00:08:48

Approach: 2

updated_df = df.astype({'timestamp':'datetime64[ns]'})

Multiple REPLACE function in Oracle

The accepted answer to how to replace multiple strings together in Oracle suggests using nested REPLACE statements, and I don't think there is a better way.

If you are going to make heavy use of this, you could consider writing your own function:

CREATE TYPE t_text IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(256);

CREATE FUNCTION multiple_replace(
  in_text IN VARCHAR2, in_old IN t_text, in_new IN t_text
)
  RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
  v_result VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
  IF( in_old.COUNT <> in_new.COUNT ) THEN
    RETURN in_text;
  END IF;
  v_result := in_text;
  FOR i IN 1 .. in_old.COUNT LOOP
    v_result := REPLACE( v_result, in_old(i), in_new(i) );
  END LOOP;
  RETURN v_result;
END;

and then use it like this:

SELECT multiple_replace( 'This is #VAL1# with some #VAL2# to #VAL3#',
                         NEW t_text( '#VAL1#', '#VAL2#', '#VAL3#' ),
                         NEW t_text( 'text', 'tokens', 'replace' )
                       )
FROM dual

This is text with some tokens to replace

If all of your tokens have the same format ('#VAL' || i || '#'), you could omit parameter in_old and use your loop-counter instead.

How to get the current working directory using python 3?

It seems that IDLE changes its current working dir to location of the script that is executed, while when running the script using cmd doesn't do that and it leaves CWD as it is.

To change current working dir to the one containing your script you can use:

import os
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__))
print(os.getcwd())

The __file__ variable is available only if you execute script from file, and it contains path to the file. More on it here: Python __file__ attribute absolute or relative?

   +{  \beta *}{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{\text{\bf \emph {$I_h$(u)}}}{{\text{\bf \emph {S(u,i)}}}* {\text {\bf \emph {Cr(P(u,i))}}} * {\text {\bf \emph {TF(u,i)}}}}}{\text {\bf \emph {$I_h$(u)}}}}

angular.min.js.map not found, what is it exactly?

Monkey is right, according to the link given by monkey

Basically it's a way to map a combined/minified file back to an unbuilt state. When you build for production, along with minifying and combining your JavaScript files, you generate a source map which holds information about your original files. When you query a certain line and column number in your generated JavaScript you can do a lookup in the source map which returns the original location.

I am not sure if it is angular's fault that no map files were generated. But you can turn off source map files by unchecking this option in chrome console setting

svn cleanup: sqlite: database disk image is malformed

Integrity check

sqlite3 .svn/wc.db "pragma integrity_check"

Clean up

sqlite3 .svn/wc.db "reindex nodes"
sqlite3 .svn/wc.db "reindex pristine"

Alternatively

You may be able to dump the contents of the database that can be read to a backup file, then slurp it back into an new database file:

sqlite3 .svn/wc.db

sqlite> .mode insert
sqlite> .output dump_all.sql
sqlite> .dump
sqlite> .exit

mv .svn/wc.db .svn/wc-corrupt.db
sqlite3 .svn/wc.db

sqlite> .read dump_all.sql
sqlite> .exit

ImportError: cannot import name main when running pip --version command in windows7 32 bit

Even though the original question seems to be from 2015, this 'bug' seems to affect users installing pip-10.0.0 as well.

The workaround is not to modify pip, however to change the way pip is called. Instead of calling /usr/bin/pip call pip via Python itself. For example, instead of the below:

pip install <package>

If from Python version 2 (or default Python binary is called python) do :

python -m pip install <package>

or if from Python version 3:

python3 -m pip install <package> 

Global variables in AngularJS

You've got basically 2 options for "global" variables:

$rootScope is a parent of all scopes so values exposed there will be visible in all templates and controllers. Using the $rootScope is very easy as you can simply inject it into any controller and change values in this scope. It might be convenient but has all the problems of global variables.

Services are singletons that you can inject to any controller and expose their values in a controller's scope. Services, being singletons are still 'global' but you've got far better control over where those are used and exposed.

Using services is a bit more complex, but not that much, here is an example:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);
myApp.factory('UserService', function() {
  return {
      name : 'anonymous'
  };
});

and then in a controller:

function MyCtrl($scope, UserService) {
