Programs & Examples On #Nsinteger

An NSInteger is a data type in Objective-C. It is used to describe an integer.

How do I convert NSInteger to NSString datatype?

You can also try:

NSInteger month = 1;
NSString *inStr = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%ld", month];

When to use NSInteger vs. int

You usually want to use NSInteger when you don't know what kind of processor architecture your code might run on, so you may for some reason want the largest possible integer type, which on 32 bit systems is just an int, while on a 64-bit system it's a long.

I'd stick with using NSInteger instead of int/long unless you specifically require them.

NSInteger/NSUInteger are defined as *dynamic typedef*s to one of these types, and they are defined like this:

#if __LP64__ || TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED || TARGET_OS_IPHONE || TARGET_OS_WIN32 || NS_BUILD_32_LIKE_64
typedef long NSInteger;
typedef unsigned long NSUInteger;
#else
typedef int NSInteger;
typedef unsigned int NSUInteger;
#endif

With regard to the correct format specifier you should use for each of these types, see the String Programming Guide's section on Platform Dependencies

How to convert An NSInteger to an int?

If you want to do this inline, just cast the NSUInteger or NSInteger to an int:

int i = -1;
NSUInteger row = 100;
i > row // true, since the signed int is implicitly converted to an unsigned int
i > (int)row // false

A warning - comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

The important difference between signed and unsigned ints is the interpretation of the last bit. The last bit in signed types represent the sign of the number, meaning: e.g:

0001 is 1 signed and unsigned 1001 is -1 signed and 9 unsigned

(I avoided the whole complement issue for clarity of explanation! This is not exactly how ints are represented in memory!)

You can imagine that it makes a difference to know if you compare with -1 or with +9. In many cases, programmers are just too lazy to declare counting ints as unsigned (bloating the for loop head f.i.) It is usually not an issue because with ints you have to count to 2^31 until your sign bit bites you. That's why it is only a warning. Because we are too lazy to write 'unsigned' instead of 'int'.

resize font to fit in a div (on one line)

Very simple. Create a span for the text, get the width and reduce font-size until the span has the same width of the div container:

while($("#container").find("span").width() > $("#container").width()) {
    var currentFontSize = parseInt($("#container").find("span").css("font-size")); 
    $("#container").find("span").css("font-size",currentFontSize-1); 
}

How to invoke a Linux shell command from Java

exec does not execute a command in your shell

try

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"csh","-c","cat /home/narek/pk.txt"});

instead.

EDIT:: I don't have csh on my system so I used bash instead. The following worked for me

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"bash","-c","ls /home/XXX"});

How do I convert a file path to a URL in ASP.NET

So far as I know there's no single function which does this (maybe you were looking for the inverse of MapPath?). I'd love to know if such a function exists. Until then, I would just take the filename(s) returned by GetFiles, remove the path, and prepend the URL root. This can be done generically.

Using os.walk() to recursively traverse directories in Python

Would be the best way

def traverse_dir_recur(dir):
    import os
    l = os.listdir(dir)
    for d in l:
        if os.path.isdir(dir + d):
            traverse_dir_recur(dir+  d +"/")
        else:
            print(dir + d)

Import mysql DB with XAMPP in command LINE

Do your trouble shooting in controlled steps:

(1) Does the script looks ok?

DOS E:\trials\SoTrials\SoDbTrials\MySQLScripts
type ansi.sql
show databases

(2) Can you connect to your database (even without specified the host)?

DOS E:\trials\SoTrials\SoDbTrials\MySQLScripts
mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password: ********
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 9
Server version: 5.0.51b-community-nt MySQL Community Edition (GPL)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

(3) Can you source the script? (Hoping for more/better error info)

mysql> source ansi.sql
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| ...                |
| test               |
+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> quit
Bye

(4) Why does it (still not) work?

DOS E:\trials\SoTrials\SoDbTrials\MySQLScripts
mysql -u root -p mysql < ansi.sql
Enter password: ********
Database
information_schema
...
test

I suspected that the encoding of the script could be the culprit, but I got syntax errors for UTF8 or UTF16 encoded files:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your
MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '´++
show databases' at line 1

This could be a version thing; so I think you should make sure of the encoding of your script.

Why when a constructor is annotated with @JsonCreator, its arguments must be annotated with @JsonProperty?

It is possible to avoid constructor annotations with jdk8 where optionally the compiler will introduce metadata with the names of the constructor parameters. Then with jackson-module-parameter-names module Jackson can use this constructor. You can see an example at post Jackson without annotations

Java heap terminology: young, old and permanent generations?

Memory in SunHotSpot JVM is organized into three generations: young generation, old generation and permanent generation.

  • Young Generation : the newly created objects are allocated to the young gen.
  • Old Generation : If the new object requests for a larger heap space, it gets allocated directly into the old gen. Also objects which have survived a few GC cycles gets promoted to the old gen i.e long lived objects house in old gen.
  • Permanent Generation : The permanent generation holds objects that the JVM finds convenient to have the garbage collector manage, such as objects describing classes and methods, as well as the classes and methods themselves.

FYI: The permanent gen is not considered a part of the Java heap.

How does the three generations interact/relate to each other? Objects(except the large ones) are first allocated to the young generation. If an object remain alive after x no. of garbage collection cycles it gets promoted to the old/tenured gen. Hence we can say that the young gen contains the short lived objects while the old gen contains the objects having a long life. The permanent gen does not interact with the other two generations.

Compiling LaTex bib source

Just in case it helps someone, since these questions (and answers) helped me really much; I decided to create an alias that runs these 4 commands in a row:

Just add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file (modify the main keyword accordingly to the name of your .tex and .bib files)

alias texbib = 'pdflatex main.tex && bibtex main && pdflatex main.tex && pdflatex main.tex'

And now, by just executing the texbib command (alias), all these commands will be executed sequentially.

Is it possible to have a multi-line comments in R?

if(FALSE) {
...
}

precludes multiple lines from being executed. However, these lines still have to be syntactically correct, i.e., can't be comments in the proper sense. Still helpful for some cases though.

VBA module that runs other modules

I just learned something new thanks to Artiso. I gave each module a name in the properties box. These names were also what I declared in the module. When I tried to call my second module, I kept getting an error: Compile error: Expected variable or procedure, not module

After reading Artiso's comment above about not having the same names, I renamed my second module, called it from the first, and problem solved. Interesting stuff! Thanks for the info Artiso!

In case my experience is unclear:

Module Name: AllFSGroupsCY Public Sub AllFSGroupsCY()

Module Name: AllFSGroupsPY Public Sub AllFSGroupsPY()

From AllFSGroupsCY()

Public Sub FSGroupsCY()

    AllFSGroupsPY 'will error each time until the properties name is changed

Locking a file in Python

Alright, so I ended up going with the code I wrote here, on my website link is dead, view on archive.org (also available on GitHub). I can use it in the following fashion:

from filelock import FileLock

with FileLock("myfile.txt.lock"):
    print("Lock acquired.")
    with open("myfile.txt"):
        # work with the file as it is now locked

.ssh directory not being created

Is there a step missing?

Yes. You need to create the directory:

mkdir ${HOME}/.ssh

Additionally, SSH requires you to set the permissions so that only you (the owner) can access anything in ~/.ssh:

% chmod 700 ~/.ssh

Should the .ssh dir be generated when I use the ssh-keygen command?

No. This command generates an SSH key pair but will fail if it cannot write to the required directory:

% ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/xxx/.ssh/id_rsa): /Users/tmp/does_not_exist
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
open /Users/tmp/does_not_exist failed: No such file or directory.
Saving the key failed: /Users/tmp/does_not_exist.

Once you've created your keys, you should also restrict who can read those key files to just yourself:

% chmod -R go-wrx ~/.ssh/*

jQuery: get data attribute

This works for me

$('.someclass').click(function() {
    $varName = $(this).data('fulltext');
    console.log($varName);
});

excel formula to subtract number of days from a date

How do I skip an iteration of a `foreach` loop?

You could also flip your if test:


foreach ( int number in numbers )
{
     if ( number >= 0 )
     {
        //process number
     }
 }

How to use a variable for a key in a JavaScript object literal?

2020 update/example...

A more complex example, using brackets and literals...something you may have to do for example with vue/axios. Wrap the literal in the brackets, so

[ ` ... ` ]

{
    [`filter[${query.key}]`]: query.value,  // 'filter[foo]' : 'bar'
}

PHP Error: Function name must be a string

Using parenthesis in a programming language or a scripting language usually means that it is a function.

However $_COOKIE in php is not a function, it is an Array. To access data in arrays you use square braces ('[' and ']') which symbolize which index to get the data from. So by doing $_COOKIE['test'] you are basically saying: "Give me the data from the index 'test'.

Now, in your case, you have two possibilities: (1) either you want to see if it is false--by looking inside the cookie or (2) see if it is not even there.

For this, you use the isset function which basically checks if the variable is set or not.

Example

if ( isset($_COOKIE['test'] ) )

And if you want to check if the value is false and it is set you can do the following:

if ( isset($_COOKIE['test']) && $_COOKIE['test'] == "false" )

One thing that you can keep in mind is that if the first test fails, it wont even bother checking the next statement if it is AND ( && ).

And to explain why you actually get the error "Function must be a string", look at this page. It's about basic creation of functions in PHP, what you must remember is that a function in PHP can only contain certain types of characters, where $ is not one of these. Since in PHP $ represents a variable.

A function could look like this: _myFunction _myFunction123 myFunction and in many other patterns as well, but mixing it with characters like $ and % will not work.

Giving my function access to outside variable

$foo = 42;
$bar = function($x = 0) use ($foo){
    return $x + $foo;
};
var_dump($bar(10)); // int(52)

UPDATE: there is now support for arrow functions, but i will let for someone that used it more to create the answer

How do I remove all HTML tags from a string without knowing which tags are in it?

You can parse the string using Html Agility pack and get the InnerText.

    HtmlDocument htmlDoc = new HtmlDocument();
    htmlDoc.LoadHtml(@"<b> Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color=\"#228b22\">[Proj # 206010]</font></b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Reality Series, &nbsp;)");
    string result = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.InnerText;

Why use 'git rm' to remove a file instead of 'rm'?

If you just use rm, you will need to follow it up with git add <fileRemoved>. git rm does this in one step.

You can also use git rm --cached which will remove the file from the index (staging it for deletion on the next commit), but keep your copy in the local file system.

Calling @Html.Partial to display a partial view belonging to a different controller

That's no problem.

@Html.Partial("../Controller/View", model)

or

@Html.Partial("~/Views/Controller/View.cshtml", model)

Should do the trick.

If you want to pass through the (other) controller, you can use:

@Html.Action("action", "controller", parameters)

or any of the other overloads

submit a form in a new tab

I have a [submit] and a [preview] button, I want the preview to show the print view of the submitted form data, without persisting it to database. Therefore I want [preview] to open in a new tab, and submit to submit the data in the same window/tab.

<button type="submit" id="liquidacion_save"          name="liquidacion[save]"          onclick="$('form').attr('target', '');"      >Save</button></div>    <div>

How do I reference to another (open or closed) workbook, and pull values back, in VBA? - Excel 2007

You will have to open the file in one way or another if you want to access the data within it. Obviously, one way is to open it in your Excel application instance, e.g.:-

(untested code)

Dim wbk As Workbook
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open("C:\myworkbook.xls")

' now you can manipulate the data in the workbook anyway you want, e.g. '

Dim x As Variant
x = wbk.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A6").Value

Call wbk.Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:G100").Copy
Call ThisWorbook.Worksheets("Target").Range("A1").PasteSpecial(xlPasteValues)
Application.CutCopyMode = False

' etc '

Call wbk.Close(False)

Another way to do it would be to use the Excel ADODB provider to open a connection to the file and then use SQL to select data from the sheet you want, but since you are anyway working from within Excel I don't believe there is any reason to do this rather than just open the workbook. Note that there are optional parameters for the Workbooks.Open() method to open the workbook as read-only, etc.

Server http:/localhost:8080 requires a user name and a password. The server says: XDB

Windows batch command(s) to read first line from text file

The problem with the EXIT /B solutions, when more realistically inside a batch file as just one part of it is the following. There is no subsequent processing within the said batch file after the EXIT /B. Usually there is much more to batches than just the one, limited task.

To counter that problem:

@echo off & setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set myfile_=C:\_D\TEST\My test file.txt
set FirstLine=
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('type "%myfile_%"') do (
  if not defined FirstLine set FirstLine=%%i)
echo FirstLine=%FirstLine%
endlocal & goto :EOF

(However, the so-called poison characters will still be a problem.)

More on the subject of getting a particular line with batch commands:

Android emulator: could not get wglGetExtensionsStringARB error

I ran into this issue running Android Studio 1.4. In the Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager, I had checked the 'Use Host GPU' box, thinking this would give me some sort of boost in the emulator's speed.
Android Studio will let you choose a device that's configured that way, and it will show you the command it used to start the virtual device: Android Studio 'Run' window output

but for some reason, it doesn't warn you that the program crashed, and it doesn't show you the stderr message that you would see had you run it from the command line yourself: Output as run on the command line

When I ran it from Android Studio, I didn't see the dialog box in the screenshot above, though it shows up just fine when you run the command from the command line, so I just sat there patiently for a few minutes while nothing happened.
As pointed out elsewhere, the drivers needed for the Use Host GPU option are not yet available. Reading through that post, it appears that this setting can be used with some Intel CPUs but not the ARM chip I chose (see CPU/ABI setting below).

My solution was to just uncheck the "Use Host GPU" box which is near the bottom of the window opened through the 'edit' option after choosing the virtual device in the Android Virtual Devices tab in the AVD Manager. You can get to the AVD manager directly in Windows at
%ANDROID_HOME%\AVD Manager.exe
where in my Windows 8 install, %ANDROID_HOME% resolved to
c:\users\myusername\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

I don't have it running on Linux at the moment, but I'd assume it's in a similar path there, i.e.:
${ANDROID_HOME}/

After unchecking the 'Use Host GPU' box, I opted to check the 'Snapshot' box next to it (as I understand, that stores a copy of the already-built vm so it doesn't need to get rebuilt every time, which should save some startup time for future instances). Here are the full settings I used:

Why is Node.js single threaded?

Long story short, node draws from V8, which is internally single-threaded. There are ways to work around the constraints for CPU-intensive tasks.

At one point (0.7) the authors tried to introduce isolates as a way of implementing multiple threads of computation, but were ultimately removed: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/nodejs/zLzuo292hX0/F7gqfUiKi2sJ

FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - process out of memory

Just a variation on the answers above.

I tried the straight up node command above without success, but the suggestion from this Angular CLI issue worked for me - you create a Node script in your package.json file to increase the memory available to Node when you run your production build.

So if you want to increase the memory available to Node to 4gb (max-old-space-size=4096), your Node command would be node --max-old-space-size=4096 ./node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng build --prod. (increase or decrease the amount of memory depending on your needs as well - 4gb worked for me, but you may need more or less). You would then add it to your package.json 'scripts' section like this:

"prod": "node --max-old-space-size=4096 ./node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng build --prod"

It would be contained in the scripts object along with the other scripts available - e.g.:

"scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "build": "ng build",
    "test": "ng test",
    "lint": "ng lint",
    "e2e": "ng e2e",
    "prod": "node --max-old-space-size=4096./node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng build --prod"
}

And you run it by calling npm run prod (you may need to run sudo npm run prod if you're on a Mac or Linux).

Note there may be an underlying issue which is causing Node to need more memory - this doesn't address that if that's the case - but it at least gives Node the memory it needs to perform the build.

Find if listA contains any elements not in listB

List has Contains method that return bool. We can use that method in query.

List<int> listA = new List<int>();
List<int> listB = new List<int>();
listA.AddRange(new int[] { 1,2,3,4,5 });
listB.AddRange(new int[] { 3,5,6,7,8 });

var v = from x in listA
        where !listB.Contains(x)
        select x;

foreach (int i in v)
    Console.WriteLine(i);

Using a SELECT statement within a WHERE clause

The principle of subqueries is not at all bad, but I don't think that you should use it in your example. If I understand correctly you want to get the maximum score for each date. In this case you should use a GROUP BY.

jquery .html() vs .append()

Whenever you pass a string of HTML to any of jQuery's methods, this is what happens:

A temporary element is created, let's call it x. x's innerHTML is set to the string of HTML that you've passed. Then jQuery will transfer each of the produced nodes (that is, x's childNodes) over to a newly created document fragment, which it will then cache for next time. It will then return the fragment's childNodes as a fresh DOM collection.

Note that it's actually a lot more complicated than that, as jQuery does a bunch of cross-browser checks and various other optimisations. E.g. if you pass just <div></div> to jQuery(), jQuery will take a shortcut and simply do document.createElement('div').

EDIT: To see the sheer quantity of checks that jQuery performs, have a look here, here and here.


innerHTML is generally the faster approach, although don't let that govern what you do all the time. jQuery's approach isn't quite as simple as element.innerHTML = ... -- as I mentioned, there are a bunch of checks and optimisations occurring.


The correct technique depends heavily on the situation. If you want to create a large number of identical elements, then the last thing you want to do is create a massive loop, creating a new jQuery object on every iteration. E.g. the quickest way to create 100 divs with jQuery:

jQuery(Array(101).join('<div></div>'));

There are also issues of readability and maintenance to take into account.

This:

$('<div id="' + someID + '" class="foobar">' + content + '</div>');

... is a lot harder to maintain than this:

$('<div/>', {
    id: someID,
    className: 'foobar',
    html: content
});

Difference between Python's Generators and Iterators

Adding an answer because none of the existing answers specifically address the confusion in the official literature.

Generator functions are ordinary functions defined using yield instead of return. When called, a generator function returns a generator object, which is a kind of iterator - it has a next() method. When you call next(), the next value yielded by the generator function is returned.

Either the function or the object may be called the "generator" depending on which Python source document you read. The Python glossary says generator functions, while the Python wiki implies generator objects. The Python tutorial remarkably manages to imply both usages in the space of three sentences:

Generators are a simple and powerful tool for creating iterators. They are written like regular functions but use the yield statement whenever they want to return data. Each time next() is called on it, the generator resumes where it left off (it remembers all the data values and which statement was last executed).

The first two sentences identify generators with generator functions, while the third sentence identifies them with generator objects.

Despite all this confusion, one can seek out the Python language reference for the clear and final word:

The yield expression is only used when defining a generator function, and can only be used in the body of a function definition. Using a yield expression in a function definition is sufficient to cause that definition to create a generator function instead of a normal function.

When a generator function is called, it returns an iterator known as a generator. That generator then controls the execution of a generator function.

So, in formal and precise usage, "generator" unqualified means generator object, not generator function.

The above references are for Python 2 but Python 3 language reference says the same thing. However, the Python 3 glossary states that

generator ... Usually refers to a generator function, but may refer to a generator iterator in some contexts. In cases where the intended meaning isn’t clear, using the full terms avoids ambiguity.

Duplicate keys in .NET dictionaries?

It's easy enough to "roll your own" version of a dictionary that allows "duplicate key" entries. Here is a rough simple implementation. You might want to consider adding support for basically most (if not all) on IDictionary<T>.

public class MultiMap<TKey,TValue>
{
    private readonly Dictionary<TKey,IList<TValue>> storage;

    public MultiMap()
    {
        storage = new Dictionary<TKey,IList<TValue>>();
    }

    public void Add(TKey key, TValue value)
    {
        if (!storage.ContainsKey(key)) storage.Add(key, new List<TValue>());
        storage[key].Add(value);
    }

    public IEnumerable<TKey> Keys
    {
        get { return storage.Keys; }
    }

    public bool ContainsKey(TKey key)
    {
        return storage.ContainsKey(key);
    }

    public IList<TValue> this[TKey key]
    {
        get
        {
            if (!storage.ContainsKey(key))
                throw new KeyNotFoundException(
                    string.Format(
                        "The given key {0} was not found in the collection.", key));
            return storage[key];
        }
    }
}

A quick example on how to use it:

const string key = "supported_encodings";
var map = new MultiMap<string,Encoding>();
map.Add(key, Encoding.ASCII);
map.Add(key, Encoding.UTF8);
map.Add(key, Encoding.Unicode);

foreach (var existingKey in map.Keys)
{
    var values = map[existingKey];
    Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", values));
}

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

The typical approach is to use select() to wait until data is available or until the timeout occurs. Only call recv() when data is actually available. To be safe, we also set the socket to non-blocking mode to guarantee that recv() will never block indefinitely. select() can also be used to wait on more than one socket at a time.

import select

mysocket.setblocking(0)

ready = select.select([mysocket], [], [], timeout_in_seconds)
if ready[0]:
    data = mysocket.recv(4096)

If you have a lot of open file descriptors, poll() is a more efficient alternative to select().

Another option is to set a timeout for all operations on the socket using socket.settimeout(), but I see that you've explicitly rejected that solution in another answer.

Nested JSON objects - do I have to use arrays for everything?

You have too many redundant nested arrays inside your jSON data, but it is possible to retrieve the information. Though like others have said you might want to clean it up.

use each() wrap within another each() until the last array.

for result.data[0].stuff[0].onetype[0] in jQuery you could do the following:

`

$.each(data.result.data, function(index0, v) {
    $.each(v, function (index1, w) {
        $.each(w, function (index2, x) {
            alert(x.id);
        });
    });

});

How to add multiple columns to pandas dataframe in one assignment?

With the use of concat:

In [128]: df
Out[128]: 
   col_1  col_2
0      0      4
1      1      5
2      2      6
3      3      7

In [129]: pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame(columns = [ 'column_new_1', 'column_new_2','column_new_3'])])
Out[129]: 
   col_1  col_2 column_new_1 column_new_2 column_new_3
0    0.0    4.0          NaN          NaN          NaN
1    1.0    5.0          NaN          NaN          NaN
2    2.0    6.0          NaN          NaN          NaN
3    3.0    7.0          NaN          NaN          NaN

Not very sure of what you wanted to do with [np.nan, 'dogs',3]. Maybe now set them as default values?

In [142]: df1 = pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame(columns = [ 'column_new_1', 'column_new_2','column_new_3'])])
In [143]: df1[[ 'column_new_1', 'column_new_2','column_new_3']] = [np.nan, 'dogs', 3]

In [144]: df1
Out[144]: 
   col_1  col_2  column_new_1 column_new_2  column_new_3
0    0.0    4.0           NaN         dogs             3
1    1.0    5.0           NaN         dogs             3
2    2.0    6.0           NaN         dogs             3
3    3.0    7.0           NaN         dogs             3

How to handle floats and decimal separators with html5 input type number

I have not found a perfect solution but the best I could do was to use type="tel" and disable html5 validation (formnovalidate):

<input name="txtTest" type="tel" value="1,200.00" formnovalidate="formnovalidate" />

If the user puts in a comma it will output with the comma in every modern browser i tried (latest FF, IE, edge, opera, chrome, safari desktop, android chrome).

The main problem is:

  • Mobile users will see their phone keyboard which may be different than the number keyboard.
  • Even worse the phone keyboard may not even have a key for a comma.

For my use case I only had to:

  • Display the initial value with a comma (firefox strips it out for type=number)
  • Not fail html5 validation (if there is a comma)
  • Have the field read exactly as input (with a possible comma)

If you have a similar requirement this should work for you.

Note: I did not like the support of the pattern attribute. The formnovalidate seems to work much better.

Subquery returned more than 1 value.This is not permitted when the subquery follows =,!=,<,<=,>,>= or when the subquery is used as an expression

The problem is that these two queries are each returning more than one row:

select isbn from dbo.lending where (act between @fdate and @tdate) and (stat ='close')
select isbn from dbo.lending where lended_date between @fdate and @tdate

You have two choices, depending on your desired outcome. You can either replace the above queries with something that's guaranteed to return a single row (for example, by using SELECT TOP 1), OR you can switch your = to IN and return multiple rows, like this:

select * from dbo.books where isbn IN (select isbn from dbo.lending where (act between @fdate and @tdate) and (stat ='close'))

        var thefile = fso.getFile(filepath);
        var sizeinbytes = thefile.size;
    }else{
        var sizeinbytes = document.getElementById('fileInput').files[0].size;
    }

    var fSExt = new Array('Bytes', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB');
    fSize = sizeinbytes; i=0;while(fSize>900){fSize/=1024;i++;}

    alert((Math.round(fSize*100)/100)+' '+fSExt[i]);
}
</script>

<input id="fileInput" type="file" onchange="AlertFilesize();" />

How to define a two-dimensional array?

You should make a list of lists, and the best way is to use nested comprehensions:

>>> matrix = [[0 for i in range(5)] for j in range(5)]
>>> pprint.pprint(matrix)
[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]

On your [5][5] example, you are creating a list with an integer "5" inside, and try to access its 5th item, and that naturally raises an IndexError because there is no 5th item:

>>> l = [5]
>>> l[5]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range

URL rewriting with PHP

You can essentially do this 2 ways:

The .htaccess route with mod_rewrite

Add a file called .htaccess in your root folder, and add something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?Some-text-goes-here/([0-9]+)$ /picture.php?id=$1

This will tell Apache to enable mod_rewrite for this folder, and if it gets asked a URL matching the regular expression it rewrites it internally to what you want, without the end user seeing it. Easy, but inflexible, so if you need more power:

The PHP route

Put the following in your .htaccess instead: (note the leading slash)

FallbackResource /index.php

This will tell it to run your index.php for all files it cannot normally find in your site. In there you can then for example:

$path = ltrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');    // Trim leading slash(es)
$elements = explode('/', $path);                // Split path on slashes
if(empty($elements[0])) {                       // No path elements means home
    ShowHomepage();
} else switch(array_shift($elements))             // Pop off first item and switch
{
    case 'Some-text-goes-here':
        ShowPicture($elements); // passes rest of parameters to internal function
        break;
    case 'more':
        ...
    default:
        header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
        Show404Error();
}

This is how big sites and CMS-systems do it, because it allows far more flexibility in parsing URLs, config and database dependent URLs etc. For sporadic usage the hardcoded rewrite rules in .htaccess will do fine though.

How to round up with excel VBA round()?

VBA uses bankers rounding in an attempt to compensate for the bias in always rounding up or down on .5; you can instead;

WorksheetFunction.Round(cells(1,1).value * cells(1,2).value, 2)

How to catch SQLServer timeout exceptions

Updated for c# 6:

    try
    {
        // some code
    }
    catch (SqlException ex) when (ex.Number == -2)  // -2 is a sql timeout
    {
        // handle timeout
    }

Very simple and nice to look at!!

Showing all errors and warnings

Set these on php.ini:

;display_startup_errors = On
display_startup_errors=off
display_errors =on
html_errors= on

From your PHP page, use a suitable filter for error reporting.

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Filers can be made according to requirements.

E_ALL
E_ALL | E_STRICT

Create thumbnail image

Here is a version based on the accepted answer. It fixes two problems...

  1. Improper disposing of the images.
  2. Maintaining the aspect ratio of the image.

I found this tool to be fast and effective for both JPG and PNG files.

private static FileInfo CreateThumbnailImage(string imageFileName, string thumbnailFileName)
{
    const int thumbnailSize = 150;
    using (var image = Image.FromFile(imageFileName))
    {
        var imageHeight = image.Height;
        var imageWidth = image.Width;
        if (imageHeight > imageWidth)
        {
            imageWidth = (int) (((float) imageWidth / (float) imageHeight) * thumbnailSize);
            imageHeight = thumbnailSize;
        }
        else
        {
            imageHeight = (int) (((float) imageHeight / (float) imageWidth) * thumbnailSize);
            imageWidth = thumbnailSize;
        }

        using (var thumb = image.GetThumbnailImage(imageWidth, imageHeight, () => false, IntPtr.Zero))
            //Save off the new thumbnail
            thumb.Save(thumbnailFileName);
    }

    return new FileInfo(thumbnailFileName);
}

How to run PyCharm in Ubuntu - "Run in Terminal" or "Run"?

How to run stored procedures in Entity Framework Core?

Stored procedure support is not yet (as of 7.0.0-beta3) implemented in EF7. You can track the progress of this feature using issue #245.

For now, you can do it the old fashioned way using ADO.NET.

var connection = (SqlConnection)context.Database.AsSqlServer().Connection.DbConnection;

var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.CommandText = "MySproc";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MyParameter", 42);

command.ExecuteNonQuery();

How to set background color of an Activity to white programmatically?

To get the root view defined in your xml file, without action bar, you can use this:

View root = ((ViewGroup) findViewById(android.R.id.content)).getChildAt(0);

So, to change color to white:

root.setBackgroundResource(Color.WHITE);

Applying function with multiple arguments to create a new pandas column

You can go with @greenAfrican example, if it's possible for you to rewrite your function. But if you don't want to rewrite your function, you can wrap it into anonymous function inside apply, like this:

>>> def fxy(x, y):
...     return x * y

>>> df['newcolumn'] = df.apply(lambda x: fxy(x['A'], x['B']), axis=1)
>>> df
    A   B  newcolumn
0  10  20        200
1  20  30        600
2  30  10        300

How can I see function arguments in IPython Notebook Server 3?

In 1.0, the functionality was bound to ( and tab and shift-tab, in 2.0 tab was deprecated but still functional in some unambiguous cases completing or inspecting were competing in many cases. Recommendation was to always use shift-Tab. ( was also added as deprecated as confusing in Haskell-like syntax to also push people toward Shift-Tab as it works in more cases. in 3.0 the deprecated bindings have been remove in favor of the official, present for 18+ month now Shift-Tab.

So press Shift-Tab.

.crx file install in chrome

In case Chrome tells you "This can only be added from the Chrome Web Store", you can try the following:

  • Go to the webstore and try to add the extension
  • It will fail and give you a download instead
  • Rename the downloaded file to .zip and unpack it to a directory (you might get a warning about a corrupt zip header, but most unpacker will continue anyway)
  • Go to Settings -> Tools -> Extensions
  • Enable developer mode
  • Click "Load unpacked extention"
  • Browse to the unpacked folder and install your extention

How to change an image on click using CSS alone?

A Pure CSS Solution

Abstract

A checkbox input is a native element served to implement toggle functionality, we can use that to our benefit.

Utilize the :checked pseudo class - attach it to a pseudo element of a checkbox (since you can't really affect the background of the input itself), and change its background accordingly.

Implementation

input[type="checkbox"]:before {
    content: url('images/icon.png');
    display: block;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked:before {
    content: url('images/another-icon.png');
}

Demo

Here's a full working demo on jsFiddle to illustrate the approach.

Refactoring

This is a bit cumbersome, and we could make some changes to clean up unnecessary stuff; as we're not really applying a background image, but instead setting the element's content, we can omit the pseudo elements and set it directly on the checkbox.

Admittedly, they serve no real purpose here but to mask the native rendering of the checkbox. We could simply remove them, but that would result in a FOUC in best cases, or if we fail to fetch the image, it will simply show a huge checkbox.

Enters the appearance property:

The (-moz-)appearance CSS property is used ... to display an element using a platform-native styling based on the operating system's theme.

we can override the platform-native styling by assigning appearance: none and bypass that glitch altogether (we would have to account for vendor prefixes, naturally, and the prefix-free form is not supported anywhere, at the moment). The selectors are then simplified, and the code is more robust.

Implementation

input[type="checkbox"] {
    content: url('images/black.cat');
    display: block;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    -webkit-appearance: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
    content: url('images/white.cat');
}

Demo

Again, a live demo of the refactored version is on jsFiddle.

How to disable all <input > inside a form with jQuery?

You can do it like this:

//HTML BUTTON
<button type="button" onclick="disableAll()">Disable</button>

//Jquery function
function disableAll() {
    //DISABLE ALL FIELDS THAT ARE NOT DISABLED
    $('form').find(':input:not(:disabled)').prop('disabled', true);

    //ENABLE ALL FIELDS THAT DISABLED
    //$('form').find(':input(:disabled)').prop('disabled', false);
}

Get string between two strings in a string

Regex is overkill here.

You could use string.Split with the overload that takes a string[] for the delimiters but that would also be overkill.

Look at Substring and IndexOf - the former to get parts of a string given and index and a length and the second for finding indexed of inner strings/characters.

Why does the JFrame setSize() method not set the size correctly?

I know that this question is about 6+ years old, but the answer by @Kyle doesn't work.

Using this

setSize(width - (getInsets().left + getInsets().right), height - (getInsets().top + getInsets().bottom));

But this always work in any size:

setSize(width + 14, height + 7);

If you don't want the border to border, and only want the white area, here:

setSize(width + 16, height + 39);

Also this only works on Windows 10, for MacOS users, use @ben's answer.

How to Get JSON Array Within JSON Object?

Makefile: How to correctly include header file and its directory?

The preprocessor is looking for StdCUtil/split.h in

and in

  • $INC_DIR (i.e. ../StdCUtil/ = /root/Core/../StdCUtil/ = /root/StdCUtil/). So ../StdCUtil/ + StdCUtil/split.h = ../StdCUtil/StdCUtil/split.h and the file is missing

You can fix the error changing the $INC_DIR variable (best solution):

$INC_DIR = ../

or the include directive:

#include "split.h"

but in this way you lost the "path syntax" that makes it very clear what namespace or module the header file belongs to.

Reference:

EDIT/UPDATE

It should also be

CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -c -Wall -I$(INC_DIR)

...

%.o: %.cpp $(DEPS)
    $(CXX) -o $@ $< $(CXXFLAGS)

How do I determine the dependencies of a .NET application?

Enable assembly binding logging set the registry value EnableLog in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion to 1. Note that you have to restart your application (use iisreset) for the changes to have any effect.

Tip: Remember to turn off fusion logging when you are done since there is a performance penalty to have it turned on.

How do I commit only some files?

This is a simple approach if you don't have much code changes:

1. git stash
2. git stash apply
3. remove the files/code you don't want to commit
4. commit the remaining files/code you do want

Then if you want the code you removed (bits you didn't commit) in a separate commit or another branch, then while still on this branch do:

5. git stash apply
6. git stash

With step 5 as you already applied the stash and committed the code you did want in step 4, the diff and untracked in the newly applied stash is just the code you removed in step 3 before you committed in step 4.

As such step 6 is a stash of the code you didn't [want to] commit, as you probably don't really want to lose those changes right? So the new stash from step 6 can now be committed to this or any other branch by doing git stash apply on the correct branch and committing.

Obviously this presumes you do the steps in one flow, if you stash at any other point in these steps you'll need to note the stash ref for each step above (rather than just basic stash and apply the most recent stash).

print [list1[s:e+1] for s,e in indices]

Note that we're adding +1 to the end to make the range inclusive...

Can you hide the controls of a YouTube embed without enabling autoplay?

This will move array elements one level up and you can access any array element without using [0] key

echo $myarray['email'];  

will show [email protected]

How do I select an element with its name attribute in jQuery?

Difference between Convert.ToString() and .ToString()

Convert.ToString(value) first tries casting obj to IConvertible, then IFormattable to call corresponding ToString(...) methods. If instead the parameter value was null then return string.Empty. As a last resort, return obj.ToString() if nothing else worked.

It's worth noting that Convert.ToString(value) can return null if for example value.ToString() returns null.

Array to Collection: Optimized code

Arrays.asList(array)

Arrays uses new ArrayList(array). But this is not the java.util.ArrayList. It's very similar though. Note that this constructor takes the array and places it as the backing array of the list. So it is O(1).

In case you already have the list created, Collections.addAll(list, array), but that's less efficient.

Update: Thus your Collections.addAll(list, array) becomes a good option. A wrapper of it is guava's Lists.newArrayList(array).

How to deselect all selected rows in a DataGridView control?

i have ran into the same problem and found a solution (not totally by myself, but there is the internet for)

Color blue  = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#CCFFFF");
Color red = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFCCFF");
Color letters = Color.Black;

foreach (DataGridViewRow r in datagridIncome.Rows)
{
    if (r.Cells[5].Value.ToString().Contains("1")) { 
        r.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = blue;
        r.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = blue;
        r.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = letters;
    }
    else { 
        r.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = red;
        r.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = red;
        r.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = letters;
    }
}

This is a small trick, the only way you can see a row is selected, is by the very first column (not column[0], but the one therefore). When you click another row, you will not see the blue selection anymore, only the arrow indicates which row have selected. As you understand, I use rowSelection in my gridview.

Static vs class functions/variables in Swift classes?

I got this confusion in one of my project as well and found this post, very helpful. Tried the same in my playground and here is the summary. Hope this helps someone with stored properties and functions of type static, final,class, overriding class vars etc.

class Simple {

    init() {print("init method called in base")}

    class func one() {print("class - one()")}

    class func two() {print("class - two()")}

    static func staticOne() {print("staticOne()")}

    static func staticTwo() {print("staticTwo()")}

    final func yesFinal() {print("yesFinal()")}

    static var myStaticVar = "static var in base"

    //Class stored properties not yet supported in classes; did you mean 'static'?
    class var myClassVar1 = "class var1"

    //This works fine
    class var myClassVar: String {
       return "class var in base"
    }
}

class SubSimple: Simple {
    //Successful override
    override class func one() {
        print("subClass - one()")
    }
    //Successful override
    override class func two () {
        print("subClass - two()")
    }

    //Error: Class method overrides a 'final' class method
    override static func staticOne() {

    }

    //error: Instance method overrides a 'final' instance method
    override final func yesFinal() {

    }

    //Works fine
    override class var myClassVar: String {
        return "class var in subclass"
    }
}

And here is the testing samples:

print(Simple.one())
print(Simple.two())
print(Simple.staticOne())
print(Simple.staticTwo())
print(Simple.yesFinal(Simple()))
print(SubSimple.one())
print(Simple.myStaticVar)
print(Simple.myClassVar)
print(SubSimple.myClassVar)

//Output
class - one()
class - two()
staticOne()
staticTwo()
init method called in base
(Function)
subClass - one()
static var in base
class var in base
class var in subclass

How to calculate sum of a formula field in crystal Reports?

How to compare strings in C conditional preprocessor-directives

I don't think there is a way to do variable length string comparisons completely in preprocessor directives. You could perhaps do the following though:

#define USER_JACK 1
#define USER_QUEEN 2

#define USER USER_JACK 

#if USER == USER_JACK
#define USER_VS USER_QUEEN
#elif USER == USER_QUEEN
#define USER_VS USER_JACK
#endif

Or you could refactor the code a little and use C code instead.

How can I get a list of users from active directory?

If you are new to Active Directory, I suggest you should understand how Active Directory stores data first.

Active Directory is actually a LDAP server. Objects stored in LDAP server are stored hierarchically. It's very similar to you store your files in your file system. That's why it got the name Directory server and Active Directory

The containers and objects on Active Directory can be specified by a distinguished name. The distinguished name is like this CN=SomeName,CN=SomeDirectory,DC=yourdomain,DC=com. Like a traditional relational database, you can run query against a LDAP server. It's called LDAP query.

There are a number of ways to run a LDAP query in .NET. You can use DirectorySearcher from System.DirectoryServices or SearchRequest from System.DirectoryServices.Protocol.

For your question, since you are asking to find user principal object specifically, I think the most intuitive way is to use PrincipalSearcher from System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. You can easily find a lot of different examples from google. Here is a sample that is doing exactly what you are asking for.

using (var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "yourdomain.com"))
{
    using (var searcher = new PrincipalSearcher(new UserPrincipal(context)))
    {
        foreach (var result in searcher.FindAll())
        {
            DirectoryEntry de = result.GetUnderlyingObject() as DirectoryEntry;
            Console.WriteLine("First Name: " + de.Properties["givenName"].Value);
            Console.WriteLine("Last Name : " + de.Properties["sn"].Value);
            Console.WriteLine("SAM account name   : " + de.Properties["samAccountName"].Value);
            Console.WriteLine("User principal name: " + de.Properties["userPrincipalName"].Value);
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}
Console.ReadLine();

Note that on the AD user object, there are a number of attributes. In particular, givenName will give you the First Name and sn will give you the Last Name. About the user name. I think you meant the user logon name. Note that there are two logon names on AD user object. One is samAccountName, which is also known as pre-Windows 2000 user logon name. userPrincipalName is generally used after Windows 2000.

CSS 100% height with padding/margin

I learned how to do these sort of things reading "PRO HTML and CSS Design Patterns". The display:block is the default display value for the div, but I like to make it explicit. The container has to be the right type; position attribute is fixed, relative, or absolute.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.stretchedToMargin {_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  position:absolute;_x000D_
  height:auto;_x000D_
  bottom:0;_x000D_
  top:0;_x000D_
  left:0;_x000D_
  right:0;_x000D_
  margin-top:20px;_x000D_
  margin-bottom:20px;_x000D_
  margin-right:80px;_x000D_
  margin-left:80px;_x000D_
  background-color: green;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="stretchedToMargin">_x000D_
  Hello, world_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_

ios app maximum memory budget

Working with the many answers above, I have implemented Apples new method os_proc_available_memory() for iOS 13+ coupled with NSByteCountFormatter which offers a number of useful formatting options for nicer output of the memory:

#include <os/proc.h>

....

- (NSString *)memoryStringForBytes:(unsigned long long)memoryBytes {
    NSByteCountFormatter *byteFormatter = [[NSByteCountFormatter alloc] init];
    byteFormatter.allowedUnits = NSByteCountFormatterUseGB;
    byteFormatter.countStyle = NSByteCountFormatterCountStyleMemory;
    NSString *memoryString = [byteFormatter stringFromByteCount:memoryBytes];
    return memoryString;
}

- (void)memoryLoggingOutput {
    if (@available(iOS 13.0, *)) {
        NSLog(@"Physical memory available: %@", [self memoryStringForBytes:[NSProcessInfo processInfo].physicalMemory]);
        NSLog(@"Memory A (brackets): %@", [self memoryStringForBytes:(long)os_proc_available_memory()]);
        NSLog(@"Memory B (no brackets): %@", [self memoryStringForBytes:(long)os_proc_available_memory]);
    }
}

Important note: Do not forget the () at the end. I have included both NSLog options in in the memoryLoggingOutput method because it does not warn you that they are missing and failure to include the brackets returns an unexpected yet constant result.

The string returned from the method memoryStringForBytes outputs values like so:

NSLog(@"%@", [self memoryStringForBytes:(long)os_proc_available_memory()]); // 1.93 GB
// 2 seconds later
NSLog(@"%@", [self memoryStringForBytes:(long)os_proc_available_memory()]); // 1.84 GB

How to store arrays in MySQL?

The reason that there are no arrays in SQL, is because most people don't really need it. Relational databases (SQL is exactly that) work using relations, and most of the time, it is best if you assign one row of a table to each "bit of information". For example, where you may think "I'd like a list of stuff here", instead make a new table, linking the row in one table with the row in another table.[1] That way, you can represent M:N relationships. Another advantage is that those links will not clutter the row containing the linked item. And the database can index those rows. Arrays typically aren't indexed.

If you don't need relational databases, you can use e.g. a key-value store.

Read about database normalization, please. The golden rule is "[Every] non-key [attribute] must provide a fact about the key, the whole key, and nothing but the key.". An array does too much. It has multiple facts and it stores the order (which is not related to the relation itself). And the performance is poor (see above).

Imagine that you have a person table and you have a table with phone calls by people. Now you could make each person row have a list of his phone calls. But every person has many other relationships to many other things. Does that mean my person table should contain an array for every single thing he is connected to? No, that is not an attribute of the person itself.

[1]: It is okay if the linking table only has two columns (the primary keys from each table)! If the relationship itself has additional attributes though, they should be represented in this table as columns.

How do I create a HTTP Client Request with a cookie?

You can do that using Requestify, a very simple and cool HTTP client I wrote for nodeJS, it support easy use of cookies and it also supports caching.

To perform a request with a cookie attached just do the following:

var requestify = require('requestify');
requestify.post('http://google.com', {}, {
    cookies: {
        sessionCookie: 'session-cookie-data'   
    }
});

How can I add new array elements at the beginning of an array in Javascript?

Quick Cheatsheet:

The terms shift/unshift and push/pop can be a bit confusing, at least to folks who may not be familiar with programming in C.

If you are not familiar with the lingo, here is a quick translation of alternate terms, which may be easier to remember:

* array_unshift()  -  (aka Prepend ;; InsertBefore ;; InsertAtBegin )     
* array_shift()    -  (aka UnPrepend ;; RemoveBefore  ;; RemoveFromBegin )

* array_push()     -  (aka Append ;; InsertAfter   ;; InsertAtEnd )     
* array_pop()      -  (aka UnAppend ;; RemoveAfter   ;; RemoveFromEnd ) 

m2eclipse error

This what helped me:

  1. Delete the project from eclipse (but don't delete from disk)
  2. Close eclipse
  3. In your user folder there is .m folder. Delete repository folder underneath it (.m/repository).
  4. Open eclipse
  5. Import project as existing maven project (from disk).

Good luck.

The project type is not supported by this installation

For Visual Studio 2010 (prolly also for other versions):

If you are opening an ASP.NET MVC project make sure that the correct MVC version is installed on your PC. If you try to open an ASP.NET MVC 3 project, first close all your visual studio instances and install MVC3: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1491

For other ASP.NET MVC versions download them from www.asp.net/mvc or via Web Platform Installer 4.0.

How to set up ES cluster?

I tried the steps that @KannarKK suggested on ES 2.0.2, however, I could not bring the cluster up and running. Evidently, I figured out something, as I had set tcp port number on Master, on the Slave configuration discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts needs Master's port number along with IP address ( tcp port number ) for discovery. So when I try following configuration it works for me.

Node 1

cluster.name: mycluster
node.name: "node1"
node.master: true
node.data: true
http.port : 9200
tcp.port : 9300
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
# I think unicast.host on master is redundant.
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node1.example.com"]

Node 2

cluster.name: mycluster
node.name: "node2"
node.master: false
node.data: true
http.port : 9201
tcp.port : 9301
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
# The port number of Node 1
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node1.example.com:9300"]

Permutation of array

A simple java implementation, refer to c++ std::next_permutation:

public static void main(String[] args){
    int[] list = {1,2,3,4,5};
    List<List<Integer>> output = new Main().permute(list);
    for(List result: output){
        System.out.println(result);
    }

}

public List<List<Integer>> permute(int[] nums) {
    List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
    int size = factorial(nums.length);

    // add the original one to the list
    List<Integer> seq = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    for(int a:nums){
        seq.add(a);
    }
    list.add(seq);

    // generate the next and next permutation and add them to list
    for(int i = 0;i < size - 1;i++){
        seq = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        nextPermutation(nums);
        for(int a:nums){
            seq.add(a);
        }
        list.add(seq);
    }
    return list;
}


int factorial(int n){
    return (n==1)?1:n*factorial(n-1);
}

void nextPermutation(int[] nums){
    int i = nums.length -1; // start from the end

    while(i > 0 && nums[i-1] >= nums[i]){
        i--;
    }

    if(i==0){
        reverse(nums,0,nums.length -1 );
    }else{

        // found the first one not in order 
        int j = i;

        // found just bigger one
        while(j < nums.length && nums[j] > nums[i-1]){
            j++;
        }
        //swap(nums[i-1],nums[j-1]);
        int tmp = nums[i-1];
        nums[i-1] = nums[j-1];
        nums[j-1] = tmp;
        reverse(nums,i,nums.length-1);  
    }
}

// reverse the sequence
void reverse(int[] arr,int start, int end){
    int tmp;
    for(int i = 0; i <= (end - start)/2; i++ ){
        tmp = arr[start + i];
        arr[start + i] = arr[end - i];
        arr[end - i ] = tmp;
    }
}

TypeScript and field initializers

You can affect an anonymous object casted in your class type. Bonus: In visual studio, you benefit of intellisense this way :)

var anInstance: AClass = <AClass> {
    Property1: "Value",
    Property2: "Value",
    PropertyBoolean: true,
    PropertyNumber: 1
};

Edit:

WARNING If the class has methods, the instance of your class will not get them. If AClass has a constructor, it will not be executed. If you use instanceof AClass, you will get false.

In conclusion, you should used interface and not class. The most common use is for the domain model declared as Plain Old Objects. Indeed, for domain model you should better use interface instead of class. Interfaces are use at compilation time for type checking and unlike classes, interfaces are completely removed during compilation.

interface IModel {
   Property1: string;
   Property2: string;
   PropertyBoolean: boolean;
   PropertyNumber: number;
}

var anObject: IModel = {
     Property1: "Value",
     Property2: "Value",
     PropertyBoolean: true,
     PropertyNumber: 1
 };

Repository Pattern Step by Step Explanation

As a summary, I would describe the wider impact of the repository pattern. It allows all of your code to use objects without having to know how the objects are persisted. All of the knowledge of persistence, including mapping from tables to objects, is safely contained in the repository.

Very often, you will find SQL queries scattered in the codebase and when you come to add a column to a table you have to search code files to try and find usages of a table. The impact of the change is far-reaching.

With the repository pattern, you would only need to change one object and one repository. The impact is very small.

Perhaps it would help to think about why you would use the repository pattern. Here are some reasons:

  • You have a single place to make changes to your data access

  • You have a single place responsible for a set of tables (usually)

  • It is easy to replace a repository with a fake implementation for testing - so you don't need to have a database available to your unit tests

There are other benefits too, for example, if you were using MySQL and wanted to switch to SQL Server - but I have never actually seen this in practice!

Bad operand type for unary +: 'str'

You say that if int(splitLine[0]) > int(lastUnix): is causing the trouble, but you don't actually show anything which suggests that. I think this line is the problem instead:

print 'Pulled', + stock

Do you see why this line could cause that error message? You want either

>>> stock = "AAAA"
>>> print 'Pulled', stock
Pulled AAAA

or

>>> print 'Pulled ' + stock
Pulled AAAA

not

>>> print 'Pulled', + stock
PulledTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-5-7c26bb268609>", line 1, in <module>
    print 'Pulled', + stock
TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'str'

You're asking Python to apply the + symbol to a string like +23 makes a positive 23, and she's objecting.

Can we have multiple <tbody> in same <table>?

Martin Joiner's problem is caused by a misunderstanding of the <caption> tag.

The <caption> tag defines a table caption.

The <caption> tag must be the first child of the <table> tag.

You can specify only one caption per table.

Also, note that the scope attribute should be placed on a <th> element and not on a <tr> element.

The proper way to write a multi-header multi-tbody table would be something like this :

_x000D_
_x000D_
<table id="dinner_table">_x000D_
    <caption>This is the only correct place to put a caption.</caption>_x000D_
    <tbody>_x000D_
        <tr class="header">_x000D_
            <th colspan="2" scope="col">First Half of Table (British Dinner)</th>_x000D_

            <td>Chips</td>_x000D_
        </tr>_x000D_

How to correct TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing?

This program is the bug free and enhanced version of the above MD5 cracker that reads the file containing list of hashed passwords and checks it against hashed word from the English dictionary word list. Hope it is helpful.

I downloaded the English dictionary from the following link https://github.com/dwyl/english-words

# md5cracker.py
# English Dictionary https://github.com/dwyl/english-words 

import hashlib, sys

hash_file = 'exercise\hashed.txt'
wordlist = 'data_sets\english_dictionary\words.txt'

try:
    hashdocument = open(hash_file,'r')
except IOError:
    print('Invalid file.')
    sys.exit()
else:
    count = 0
    for hash in hashdocument:
        hash = hash.rstrip('\n')
        print(hash)
        i = 0
        with open(wordlist,'r') as wordlistfile:
            for word in wordlistfile:
                m = hashlib.md5()
                word = word.rstrip('\n')            
                m.update(word.encode('utf-8'))
                word_hash = m.hexdigest()
                if word_hash==hash:
                    print('The word, hash combination is ' + word + ',' + hash)
                    count += 1
                    break
                i += 1
        print('Itiration is ' + str(i))
    if count == 0:
        print('The hash given does not correspond to any supplied word in the wordlist.')
    else:

Adding a css class to select using @Html.DropDownList()

Simply Try this

@Html.DropDownList("PriorityID", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.PriorityID,  new { @class="dropdown" })

But if you want a default value or no option value then you must have to try this one, because String.Empty will select that no value for you which will work as a -select- as default option

@Html.DropDownList("PriorityID", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.PriorityID, String.Empty, new { @class="dropdown" })

mysql stored-procedure: out parameter

I just tried to call a function in terminal rather then MySQL Query Browser and it works. So, it looks like I'm doing something wrong in that program...

I don't know what since I called some procedures before successfully (but there where no out parameters)...

For this one I had entered

CALL my_sqrt(4,@out_value);
SELECT @out_value;

And it results with an error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT @out_value' at line 2

Strangely, if I write just:

CALL my_sqrt(4,@out_value); 

The result message is: "Query canceled"

I guess, for now I will use only terminal...

Output data from all columns in a dataframe in pandas

Use:

pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', 7)

This will force Pandas to display the 7 columns you have. Or more generally:

pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', None)

which will force it to display any number of columns.

Explanation: the default for max_columns is 0, which tells Pandas to display the table only if all the columns can be squeezed into the width of your console.

Alternatively, you can change the console width (in chars) from the default of 80 using e.g:

pandas.set_option('display.width', 200)

JavaScript closures vs. anonymous functions

Closure

A closure is not a function, and not an expression. It must be seen as a kind of 'snapshot' from the used variables outside the function scope and used inside the function. Grammatically, one should say: 'take the closure of the variables'.

Again, in other words: A closure is a copy of the relevant context of variables on which the function depends on.

Once more (naïf): A closure is having access to variables who are not being passed as parameter.

Bear in mind that these functional concepts strongly depend upon the programming language / environment you use. In JavaScript, the closure depends on lexical scoping (which is true in most C-languages).

So, returning a function is mostly returning an anonymous/unnamed function. When the function access variables, not passed as parameter, and within its (lexical) scope, a closure has been taken.

So, concerning your examples:

// 1
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        console.log(i); // closure, only when loop finishes within 1000 ms,
    }, 1000);           // i = 10 for all functions
}
// 2
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    (function(){
        var i2 = i; // closure of i (lexical scope: for-loop)
        setTimeout(function(){
            console.log(i2); // closure of i2 (lexical scope:outer function)
        }, 1000)
    })();
}
// 3
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    setTimeout((function(i2){
        return function() {
            console.log(i2); // closure of i2 (outer scope)

        }
    })(i), 1000); // param access i (no closure)
}

All are using closures. Don't confuse the point of execution with closures. If the 'snapshot' of the closures is taken at the wrong moment, the values may be unexpected but certainly a closure is taken!

How do I display the current value of an Android Preference in the Preference summary?

FYI:

findPreference(CharSequence key)
This method was deprecated in API level 11. This function is not relevant
for a modern fragment-based PreferenceActivity.

All the more reason to look at the very slick Answer of @ASD above (source found here) saying to use %s in android:summary for each field in preferences.xml. (Current value of preference is substituted for %s.)

enter image description here

<ListPreference
 ...        
 android:summary="Length of longest word to return as match is %s"

Remove git mapping in Visual Studio 2015

Short Version

  1. Remove the appropriate entr(y|ies) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\GitSourceControl\Repositories.

  2. Remove HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\GitSourceControl\General\LastUsedRepository if it's the same as the repo you are trying to remove.

Background

It seems like Visual Studio tracks all of the git repositories that it has seen. Even if you close the project that was referencing a repository, old entries may still appear in the list.

This problem is not new to Visual Studio:

VS2013 - How do I remove local git repository from team explorer window when option Remove is always disabled?

Remove Git binding from Visual Studio 2013 solution?

This all seems like a lot of work for something that should probably be a built-in feature. The above "solutions" mention making modifications to the .git file etc.; I don't like the idea of having to change things outside of Visual Studio to affect things inside Visual Studio. Although my solution needs to make a few registry edits (and is external to VS), at least these only affect VS. Here is the work-around (read: hack):

Detailed Instructions

Be sure to have Visual Studio 2015 closed before following these steps.

1. Open regedit.exe and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\GitSourceControl\Repositories

Regedit repositories for VS

You might see multiple "hash" values that represent the repositories that VS is tracking.

2. Find the git repository you want to remove from the list. Look at the name and path values to verify the correct repository to delete:

verify repo to delete

3. Delete the key (and corresponding subkeys).

(Optional: before deleting, you can right click and choose Export to back up this key in case you make a mistake.) Now, right click on the key (in my case this is AE76C67B6CD2C04395248BFF8EBF96C7AFA15AA9 and select Delete).

4. Check that the LastUsedRepository key points to "something else."

If the repository mapping you are trying to remove in the above steps is stored in LastUsedRepository, then you'll need to remove this key, also. First navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\GitSourceControl\General

location of general key

and delete the key LastUsedRepository (the key will be re-created by VS if needed). If you are worried about removing the key, you can just modify the value and set it to an empty string:

delete last used repo

When you open Visual Studio 2015 again, the git repository binding should not appear in the list anymore.

Jquery $.ajax fails in IE on cross domain calls

It's hard to tell due to the lack of formatting in the question, but I think I see two issues with the ajax call.

1) the application/x-www-form-urlencoded for contentType should be in quotes

2) There should be a comma separating the contentType and async parameters.

Hibernate: How to set NULL query-parameter value with HQL?

How to workaround 'FB is not defined'?

I think you should solve the main issue instead, which solution is provided by Facebook (Loading the SDK Asynchronously):

You should insert it directly after the opening tag on each page you want to load it:

<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({
      appId      : 'your-app-id',
      xfbml      : true,
      version    : 'v2.1'
    });
  };

  (function(d, s, id){
     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
     js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

From the documentation:

The Facebook SDK for JavaScript doesn't have any standalone files that need to be downloaded or installed, instead you simply need to include a short piece of regular JavaScript in your HTML that will asynchronously load the SDK into your pages. The async load means that it does not block loading other elements of your page.

UPDATE: using the latest code from the documentation.

Unable to install boto3

There is another possible scenario that might get some people as well (if you have python and python3 on your system):

pip3 install boto3

Note the use of pip3 indicates the use of Python 3's pip installation vs just pip which indicates the use of Python 2's.

Get content of a cell given the row and column numbers

You don't need the CELL() part of your formulas:

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(B1,B2))

or

=OFFSET($A$1, B1-1,B2-1)

will both work. Note that both INDIRECT and OFFSET are volatile functions. Volatile functions can slow down calculation because they are calculated at every single recalculation.

How to read integer value from the standard input in Java

You can use java.util.Scanner (API):

import java.util.Scanner;

//...

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int num = in.nextInt();

It can also tokenize input with regular expression, etc. The API has examples and there are many others in this site (e.g. How do I keep a scanner from throwing exceptions when the wrong type is entered?).

Aligning two divs side-by-side

This Can be Done by Style Property.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style> 
#main {

  display: flex;
}

#main div {
  flex-grow: 0;
  flex-shrink: 0;
  flex-basis: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="main">
  <div style="background-color:coral;">Red DIV</div>
  <div style="background-color:lightblue;" id="myBlueDiv">Blue DIV</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Its Result will be :

enter image description here

Enjoy... Please Note: This works in Higher version of CSS (>3.0).

Adding value labels on a matplotlib bar chart

If you only want to add Datapoints above the bars, you could easily do it with:

 for i in range(len(frequencies)): # your number of bars
    plt.text(x = x_values[i]-0.25, #takes your x values as horizontal positioning argument 
    y = y_values[i]+1, #takes your y values as vertical positioning argument 
    s = data_labels[i], # the labels you want to add to the data
    size = 9) # font size of datalabels

How to make a new line or tab in <string> XML (eclipse/android)?

Use \t to add tab and \n for new line, here is a simple example below.

<string name="list_with_tab_tag">\tbanana\torange\tblueberry\tmango</string>
<string name="sentence_with_new_line_tag">This is the first sentence\nThis is the second scentence\nThis is the third sentence</string>

Angular HTTP GET with TypeScript error http.get(...).map is not a function in [null]

Angular version 6 "0.6.8" rxjs version 6 "^6.0.0"

this solution is for :

  "@angular-devkit/core": "0.6.8",
  "rxjs": "^6.0.0"

as we all know angular is being developed every day so there are lots of changes every day and this solution is for angular 6 and rxjs 6
first to work with http yo should import it from : after all you have to declare the HttpModule in app.module.ts

import { Http } from '@angular/http';

and you have to add HttpModule to Ngmodule -> imports

  imports: [
    HttpModule,
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
  ],

second to work with map you should first import pipe :

import { pipe } from 'rxjs';

third you need the map function import from :

import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

you have to use map inside pipe like this exemple :

 constructor(public http:Http){  }

    getusersGET(){
        return this.http.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users').pipe(
         map(res => res.json()  )  );
    }

that works perfectly good luck !

Create GUI using Eclipse (Java)

Yes. Use WindowBuilder Pro (provided by Google). It supports SWT and Swing as well with multiple layouts (Group layout, MiGLayout etc.) It's integrated out of the box with Eclipse Indigo, but you can install plugin on previous versions (3.4/3.5/3.6):

enter image description here

What is javax.inject.Named annotation supposed to be used for?

Use @Named to differentiate between different objects of the same type bound in the same scope.

@Named("maxWaitTime")
public long maxWaitTimeMs;

@Named("minWaitTime")
public long minWaitTimeMs;

Without the @Named qualifier, the injector would not know which long to bind to which variable.

  • If you want to create annotations that act like @Named, use the @Qualifier annotation when creating them.

  • If you look at @Named, it is itself annotated with @Qualifier.

DateTime.ToString() format that can be used in a filename or extension?

The below list of time format specifiers most commonly used.,

dd -- day of the month, from 01 through 31.

MM -- month, from 01 through 12.

yyyy -- year as a four-digit number.

hh -- hour, using a 12-hour clock from 01 to 12.

mm -- minute, from 00 through 59.

ss -- second, from 00 through 59.

HH -- hour, using a 24-hour clock from 00 to 23.

tt -- AM/PM designator.

Using the above you will be able to form a unique name to your file name.

Here i have provided example

string fileName = "fileName_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy_hh-mm-ss-tt") + ".pdf";

OR

If you don't prefer to use symbols you can try this also.,

string fileName = "fileName_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("MMddyyyyhhmmsstt") + ".pdf";

Hope this helps to someone now or in future. :)

How to parse an RSS feed using JavaScript?

You can use jquery-rss or Vanilla RSS, which comes with nice templating and is super easy to use:

// Example for jquery.rss
$("#your-div").rss("https://stackoverflow.com/feeds/question/10943544", {
    limit: 3,
    layoutTemplate: '<ul class="inline">{entries}</ul>',
    entryTemplate: '<li><a href="{url}">[{author}@{date}] {title}</a><br/>{shortBodyPlain}</li>'
})

// Example for Vanilla RSS
const RSS = require('vanilla-rss');
const rss = new RSS(
    document.querySelector("#your-div"),
    "https://stackoverflow.com/feeds/question/10943544",
    { 
      // options go here
    }
);
rss.render().then(() => {
  console.log('Everything is loaded and rendered');
});

See http://jsfiddle.net/sdepold/ozq2dn9e/1/ for a working example.

How to use pip on windows behind an authenticating proxy

For me, the issue was being inside a conda environment. Most likely it used the pip command from the conda environment ("where pip" pointed to the conda environment). Setting proxy-settings via --proxy or set http_proxy did not help.

Instead, simply opening a new CMD and doing "pip install " there, helped.

How to view the SQL queries issued by JPA?

If you use hibernate and logback as your logger you could use the following (shows only the bindings and not the results):

<appender
    name="STDOUT"
    class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <encoder>
        <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} -
            %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
    <filter class="ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter">
        <evaluator>
            <expression>return message.toLowerCase().contains("org.hibernate.type") &amp;&amp;
                logger.startsWith("returning");</expression>
        </evaluator>
        <OnMismatch>NEUTRAL</OnMismatch>
        <OnMatch>DENY</OnMatch>
    </filter>
</appender>

org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG prints the Query

<logger name="org.hibernate.SQL">
    <level value="DEBUG" />
</logger>

org.hibernate.type=TRACE prints the bindings and normally the results, which will be suppressed thru the custom filter

<logger name="org.hibernate.type">
    <level value="TRACE" />
</logger>

You need the janino dependency (http://logback.qos.ch/manual/filters.html#JaninoEventEvaluator):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.janino</groupId>
    <artifactId>janino</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.1</version>
</dependency>

Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)

I had the same issue while installing mysqlclient for the Django project.

In my case, it's the system architecture mismatch causing the issue. I have Windows 7 64bit version on my system. But, I had installed Python 3.7.2 32 bit version by mistake.

So, I re-installed Python interpreter (64bit) and ran the command

pip install mysqlclient

I hope this would work with other Python packages as well.

How to replace specific values in a oracle database column?

I'm using Version 4.0.2.15 with Build 15.21

For me I needed this:

UPDATE table_name SET column_name = REPLACE(column_name,"search str","replace str");

Putting t.column_name in the first argument of replace did not work.

Create XML in Javascript

Only works in IE

 $(function(){

        var xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?><foo><bar>bar</bar></foo>'; 

        var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async="false";
        xmlDoc.loadXML(xml);

        alert(xmlDoc.xml);

    });

Then push xmlDoc.xml to your java code.

MySQL: is a SELECT statement case sensitive?

USE BINARY

This is a simple select

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE 'something' = 'Something'

= 1

This is a select with binary

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE BINARY 'something' = 'Something'

or

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE 'something' = BINARY 'Something'

= 0

Could not load file or assembly "Oracle.DataAccess" or one of its dependencies

In my case the following solved the problem:

  1. Downloading the "32-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio" from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html
  2. Then adding reference oracle.dataaccess.dll to the bin file by browsing the file location or just from the refence list in .NET tab.

PHP cURL custom headers

How to get a file or blob from an object URL?

Maybe someone finds this useful when working with React/Node/Axios. I used this for my Cloudinary image upload feature with react-dropzone on the UI.

    axios({
        method: 'get',
        url: file[0].preview, // blob url eg. blob:http://127.0.0.1:8000/e89c5d87-a634-4540-974c-30dc476825cc
        responseType: 'blob'
    }).then(function(response){
         var reader = new FileReader();
         reader.readAsDataURL(response.data); 
         reader.onloadend = function() {
             var base64data = reader.result;
             self.props.onMainImageDrop(base64data)
         }

    })

Java Round up Any Number

10 years later but that problem still caught me.

So this is the answer to those that are too late as me.

This does not work

int b = (int) Math.ceil(a / 100);

Cause the result a / 100 turns out to be an integer and it's rounded so Math.ceil can't do anything about it.

You have to avoid the rounded operation with this

int b = (int) Math.ceil((float) a / 100);

Now it works.

How to delete from select in MySQL?

If you want to delete all duplicates, but one out of each set of duplicates, this is one solution:

DELETE posts
FROM posts
LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT id
    FROM posts
    GROUP BY id
    HAVING COUNT(id) = 1

    UNION

    SELECT id
    FROM posts
    GROUP BY id
    HAVING COUNT(id) != 1
) AS duplicate USING (id)
WHERE duplicate.id IS NULL;

Java - sending HTTP parameters via POST method easily

Here is a simple example that submits a form then dumps the result page to System.out. Change the URL and the POST params as appropriate, of course:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;

class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL url = new URL("http://example.net/new-message.php");
        Map<String,Object> params = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        params.put("name", "Freddie the Fish");
        params.put("email", "[email protected]");
        params.put("reply_to_thread", 10394);
        params.put("message", "Shark attacks in Botany Bay have gotten out of control. We need more defensive dolphins to protect the schools here, but Mayor Porpoise is too busy stuffing his snout with lobsters. He's so shellfish.");

        StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
        for (Map.Entry<String,Object> param : params.entrySet()) {
            if (postData.length() != 0) postData.append('&');
            postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(param.getKey(), "UTF-8"));
            postData.append('=');
            postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(param.getValue()), "UTF-8"));
        }
        byte[] postDataBytes = postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");

        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(postDataBytes.length));
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.getOutputStream().write(postDataBytes);

        Reader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));

        for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
            System.out.print((char)c);
    }
}

If you want the result as a String instead of directly printed out do:

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
            sb.append((char)c);
        String response = sb.toString();

Most likely the socket is held by some process. Use netstat -o to find which one.

php: loop through json array

Set the second function parameter to true if you require an associative array

Some versions of php require a 2nd paramter of true if you require an associative array

$array = json_decode( $json, true );

How to get a user's time zone?

edit/update:

Xcode 8 or later • Swift 3 or later

var secondsFromGMT: Int { return TimeZone.current.secondsFromGMT() }
secondsFromGMT  // -7200

if you need the abbreviation:

var localTimeZoneAbbreviation: String { return TimeZone.current.abbreviation() ?? "" }
localTimeZoneAbbreviation   // "GMT-2"

if you need the timezone identifier:

var localTimeZoneIdentifier: String { return TimeZone.current.identifier }

localTimeZoneIdentifier // "America/Sao_Paulo"

How do I find files with a path length greater than 260 characters in Windows?

do a dir /s /b > out.txt and then add a guide at position 260

In powershell cmd /c dir /s /b |? {$_.length -gt 260}

Python class input argument

The problem in your initial definition of the class is that you've written:

class name(object, name):

This means that the class inherits the base class called "object", and the base class called "name". However, there is no base class called "name", so it fails. Instead, all you need to do is have the variable in the special init method, which will mean that the class takes it as a variable.

class name(object):
  def __init__(self, name):
    print name

If you wanted to use the variable in other methods that you define within the class, you can assign name to self.name, and use that in any other method in the class without needing to pass it to the method.

For example:

class name(object):
  def __init__(self, name):
    self.name = name
  def PrintName(self):
    print self.name

a = name('bob')
a.PrintName()
bob

Convert DateTime to String PHP

The simplest way I found is:

$date   = new DateTime(); //this returns the current date time
$result = $date->format('Y-m-d-H-i-s');
echo $result . "<br>";
$krr    = explode('-', $result);
$result = implode("", $krr);
echo $result;

I hope it helps.

Using Gradle to build a jar with dependencies

If you're used to ant then you could try the same with Gradle too:

task bundlemyjava{
    ant.jar(destfile: "build/cookmyjar.jar"){
        fileset(dir:"path to your source", includes:'**/*.class,*.class', excludes:'if any')
        } 
}

Simple way to copy or clone a DataRow?

Note: cuongle's helfpul answer has all the ingredients, but the solution can be streamlined (no need for .ItemArray) and can be reframed to better match the question as asked.

To create an (isolated) clone of a given System.Data.DataRow instance, you can do the following:

// Assume that variable `table` contains the source data table.

// Create an auxiliary, empty, column-structure-only clone of the source data table.
var tableAux = table.Clone();
// Note: .Copy(), by contrast, would clone the data rows also.

// Select the data row to clone, e.g. the 2nd one:
var row = table.Rows[1];

// Import the data row of interest into the aux. table.
// This creates a *shallow clone* of it.
// Note: If you'll be *reusing* the aux. table for single-row cloning later, call
//       tableAux.Clear() first.
tableAux.ImportRow(row);

// Extract the cloned row from the aux. table:
var rowClone = tableAux.Rows[0];

Note: Shallow cloning is performed, which works as-is with column values that are value type instances, but more work would be needed to also create independent copies of column values containing reference type instances (and creating such independent copies isn't always possible).

jQuery UI Slider (setting programmatically)

I wanted to update slider as well as the inputbox. For me following is working

a.slider('value',1520);
$("#labelAID").val(1520);

where a is object as following.

 var a= $( "<div id='slider' style='width:200px;margin-left:20px;'></div>" ).insertAfter( "#labelAID" ).slider({
            min: 0,
            max: 2000,
            range: "min",
            value: 111,
            slide: function( event, ui ) {

                $("#labelAID").val(ui.value    );
            }
        });

        $( "#labelAID" ).keyup(function() {
            a.slider( "value",$( "#labelAID" ).val()  );
        });

How to read strings from a Scanner in a Java console application?

What you can do is use delimeter as new line. Till you press enter key you will be able to read it as string.

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

Hope this helps.

Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

If you are using Linux and you have different versions of Java installed, use the following command:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

This will give a quick way of switching between the Java versions installed on the system. By choosing Java 8 I will solve your problem.

Meaning of delta or epsilon argument of assertEquals for double values

Floating point calculations are not exact - there is often round-off errors, and errors due to representation. (For example, 0.1 cannot be exactly represented in binary floating point.)

Because of this, directly comparing two floating point values for equality is usually not a good idea, because they can be different by a small amount, depending upon how they were computed.

The "delta", as it's called in the JUnit javadocs, describes the amount of difference you can tolerate in the values for them to be still considered equal. The size of this value is entirely dependent upon the values you're comparing. When comparing doubles, I typically use the expected value divided by 10^6.

How to use System.Net.HttpClient to post a complex type?

The generic HttpRequestMessage<T> has been removed. This :

new HttpRequestMessage<Widget>(widget)

will no longer work.

Instead, from this post, the ASP.NET team has included some new calls to support this functionality:

HttpClient.PostAsJsonAsync<T>(T value) sends “application/json”
HttpClient.PostAsXmlAsync<T>(T value) sends “application/xml”

So, the new code (from dunston) becomes:

Widget widget = new Widget()
widget.Name = "test"
widget.Price = 1;

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:44268");
client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/test", widget)
    .ContinueWith((postTask) => postTask.Result.EnsureSuccessStatusCode() );

Regex to get the words after matching string

You're almost there. Use the following regex (with multi-line option enabled)

\bObject Name:\s+(.*)$

The complete match would be

Object Name:   D:\ApacheTomcat\apache-tomcat-6.0.36\logs\localhost.2013-07-01.log

while the captured group one would contain

D:\ApacheTomcat\apache-tomcat-6.0.36\logs\localhost.2013-07-01.log

If you want to capture the file path directly use

(?m)(?<=\bObject Name:).*$

How can you run a command in bash over and over until success?

You need to test $? instead, which is the exit status of the previous command. passwd exits with 0 if everything worked ok, and non-zero if the passwd change failed (wrong password, password mismatch, etc...)

passwd
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
    passwd
done

With your backtick version, you're comparing passwd's output, which would be stuff like Enter password and confirm password and the like.

Installing MySQL Python on Mac OS X

I used PyMySQL instead and its working fine!

sudo easy_install-3.7 pymysql

JAVA - using FOR, WHILE and DO WHILE loops to sum 1 through 100

- First to me Iterating and Looping are 2 different things.

Eg: Increment a variable till 5 is Looping.

    int count = 0;

    for (int i=0 ; i<5 ; i++){

        count = count + 1;

   }

Eg: Iterate over the Array to print out its values, is about Iteration

    int[] arr = {5,10,15,20,25};

    for (int i=0 ; i<arr.length ; i++){

        System.out.println(arr[i]);

   }

Now about all the Loops:

- Its always better to use For-Loop when you know the exact nos of time you gonna Loop, and if you are not sure of it go for While-Loop. Yes out there many geniuses can say that it can be done gracefully with both of them and i don't deny with them...but these are few things which makes me execute my program flawlessly...

For Loop :

int sum = 0; 

for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {

  sum += i; 

}

 System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

The Difference between While and Do-While is as Follows :

- While is a Entry Control Loop, Condition is checked in the Beginning before entering the loop.

- Do-While is a Exit Control Loop, Atleast once the block is always executed then the Condition is checked.

While Loop :

int sum = 0; 
int i = 0;       // i is 0 Here

    while (i<100) {

      sum += i; 
      i++;

    }

  System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

do-While :

int sum = 0; 
int i = 0;      // i is 0 Here

    do{ 

      sum += i; 
       i++
    }while(i < 100; );

     System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

From Java 5 we also have For-Each Loop to iterate over the Collections, even its handy with Arrays.

ArrayList<String> arr = new ArrayList<String>();

arr.add("Vivek");
arr.add("Is");
arr.add("Good");
arr.add("Boy");

for (String str : arr){         // str represents the value in each index of arr

    System.out.println(str);     

 }

Secure FTP using Windows batch script

First, make sure you understand, if you need to use Secure FTP (=FTPS, as per your text) or SFTP (as per tag you have used).

Neither is supported by Windows command-line ftp.exe. As you have suggested, you can use WinSCP. It supports both FTPS and SFTP.

Using WinSCP, your batch file would look like (for SFTP):

echo open sftp://ftp_user:[email protected] -hostkey="server's hostkey" >> ftpcmd.dat
echo put c:\directory\%1-export-%date%.csv >> ftpcmd.dat
echo exit >> ftpcmd.dat
winscp.com /script=ftpcmd.dat
del ftpcmd.dat

And the batch file:

winscp.com /log=ftpcmd.log /script=ftpcmd.dat /parameter %1 %date%

Though using all capabilities of WinSCP (particularly providing commands directly on command-line and the %TIMESTAMP% syntax), the batch file simplifies to:

winscp.com /log=ftpcmd.log /command ^
    "open sftp://ftp_user:[email protected] -hostkey=""server's hostkey""" ^
    "put c:\directory\%1-export-%%TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd%%.csv" ^
    "exit"

For the purpose of -hostkey switch, see verifying the host key in script.

Easier than assembling the script/batch file manually is to setup and test the connection settings in WinSCP GUI and then have it generate the script or batch file for you:

Generate batch file

All you need to tweak is the source file name (use the %TIMESTAMP% syntax as shown previously) and the path to the log file.


For FTPS, replace the sftp:// in the open command with ftpes:// (explicit TLS/SSL) or ftps:// (implicit TLS/SSL). Remove the -hostkey switch.

winscp.com /log=ftpcmd.log /command ^
    "open ftps://ftp_user:[email protected] -explicit" ^
    "put c:\directory\%1-export-%%TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd%%.csv" ^
    "exit"

You may need to add the -certificate switch, if your server's certificate is not issued by a trusted authority.

Again, as with the SFTP, easier is to setup and test the connection settings in WinSCP GUI and then have it generate the script or batch file for you.


See a complete conversion guide from ftp.exe to WinSCP.

You should also read the Guide to automating file transfers to FTP server or SFTP server.


Note to using %TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd% instead of %date%: A format of %date% variable value is locale-specific. So make sure you test the script on the same locale you are actually going to use the script on. For example on my Czech locale the %date% resolves to ct 06. 11. 2014, what might be problematic when used as a part of a file name.

For this reason WinSCP supports (locale-neutral) timestamp formatting natively. For example %TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd% resolves to 20170515 on any locale.

How to get unique device hardware id in Android?

Please read this official blog entry on Google developer blog: http://android-developers.blogspot.be/2011/03/identifying-app-installations.html

Conclusion For the vast majority of applications, the requirement is to identify a particular installation, not a physical device. Fortunately, doing so is straightforward.

There are many good reasons for avoiding the attempt to identify a particular device. For those who want to try, the best approach is probably the use of ANDROID_ID on anything reasonably modern, with some fallback heuristics for legacy devices

Postgres: How to do Composite keys?

The error you are getting is in line 3. i.e. it is not in

CONSTRAINT no_duplicate_tag UNIQUE (question_id, tag_id)

but earlier:

CREATE TABLE tags
     (
              (question_id, tag_id) NOT NULL,

Correct table definition is like pilcrow showed.

And if you want to add unique on tag1, tag2, tag3 (which sounds very suspicious), then the syntax is:

CREATE TABLE tags (
    question_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    tag_id SERIAL NOT NULL,
    tag1 VARCHAR(20),
    tag2 VARCHAR(20),
    tag3 VARCHAR(20),
    PRIMARY KEY(question_id, tag_id),
    UNIQUE (tag1, tag2, tag3)
);

or, if you want to have the constraint named according to your wish:

CREATE TABLE tags (
    question_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    tag_id SERIAL NOT NULL,
    tag1 VARCHAR(20),
    tag2 VARCHAR(20),
    tag3 VARCHAR(20),
    PRIMARY KEY(question_id, tag_id),
    CONSTRAINT some_name UNIQUE (tag1, tag2, tag3)
);

Selenium WebDriver can't find element by link text

The problem might be in the rest of the html, the part that you didn't post.

With this example (I just closed the open tags):

<a class="item" ng-href="#/catalog/90d9650a36988e5d0136988f03ab000f/category/DATABASE_SERVERS/service/90cefc7a42b3d4df0142b52466810026" href="#/catalog/90d9650a36988e5d0136988f03ab000f/category/DATABASE_SERVERS/service/90cefc7a42b3d4df0142b52466810026">
<div class="col-lg-2 col-sm-3 col-xs-4 item-list-image">
<img ng-src="csa/images/library/Service_Design.png" src="csa/images/library/Service_Design.png">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-8 col-sm-9 col-xs-8">
<div class="col-xs-12">
    <p>
    <strong class="ng-binding">Smoke Sequential</strong>
    </p>
    </div>
</div>
</a>

I was able to find the element without trouble with:

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Smoke Sequential")).click();

If there is more text inside the element, you could try a find by partial link text:

driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Sequential")).click();

How to print a string at a fixed width?

Originally posted as an edit to @0x90's answer, but it got rejected for deviating from the post's original intent and recommended to post as a comment or answer, so I'm including the short write-up here.

In addition to the answer from @0x90, the syntax can be made more flexible, by using a variable for the width (as per @user2763554's comment):

width=10
'{0: <{width}}'.format('sss', width=width)

Further, you can make this expression briefer, by only using numbers and relying on the order of the arguments passed to format:

width=10
'{0: <{1}}'.format('sss', width)

Or even leave out all numbers for maximal, potentially non-pythonically implicit, compactness:

width=10
'{: <{}}'.format('sss', width)

Update 2017-05-26

With the introduction of formatted string literals ("f-strings" for short) in Python 3.6, it is now possible to access previously defined variables with a briefer syntax:

>>> name = "Fred"
>>> f"He said his name is {name}."
'He said his name is Fred.'

This also applies to string formatting

>>> width=10
>>> string = 'sss'
>>> f'{string: <{width}}'
'sss       '

How to download a Nuget package without nuget.exe or Visual Studio extension?

Either make an account on the Nuget.org website, then log in, browse to the package you want and click on the Download link on the left menu.


Or guess the URL. They have the following format:

https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/{packageID}/{packageVersion}

Then simply unzip the .nupkg file and extract the contents you need.

How do I update a Mongo document after inserting it?

This is an old question, but I stumbled onto this when looking for the answer so I wanted to give the update to the answer for reference.

The methods save and update are deprecated.

save(to_save, manipulate=True, check_keys=True, **kwargs)¶ Save a document in this collection.

DEPRECATED - Use insert_one() or replace_one() instead.

Changed in version 3.0: Removed the safe parameter. Pass w=0 for unacknowledged write operations.

update(spec, document, upsert=False, manipulate=False, multi=False, check_keys=True, **kwargs) Update a document(s) in this collection.

DEPRECATED - Use replace_one(), update_one(), or update_many() instead.

Changed in version 3.0: Removed the safe parameter. Pass w=0 for unacknowledged write operations.

in the OPs particular case, it's better to use replace_one.

String delimiter in string.split method

String[] strArray= str.split(Pattern.quote("||"));

where

  1. str = "1||1||Abdul-Jabbar||Karim||1996||1974";
  2. Pattern.quote("||") will ignore the special character.
  3. .split function will split the string for every occurrence of ||.
  4. strArray will have the array of string that is delimited by ||.

How do I specify C:\Program Files without a space in it for programs that can't handle spaces in file paths?

Never hardcode this location. Use the environment variables %ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)%.

When specifying these, always quote because Microsoft may have put spaces or other special characters in them.

"%ProgramFiles%\theapp\app.exe"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\theapp\app.exe"

In addition, the directory might be expressed in a language you do not know. http://www.samlogic.net/articles/program-files-folder-different-languages.htm

>set|findstr /i /r ".*program.*="
CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Common Files
CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
CommonProgramW6432=C:\Program Files\Common Files
ProgramData=C:\ProgramData
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files
ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)
ProgramW6432=C:\Program Files

Use these commands to find the values on a machine. DO NOT hardcode them into a program or .bat or .cmd file script. Use the variable.

set | findstr /R "^Program"
set | findstr /R "^Common"

How to initialize struct?

Structure types should, whenever practical, either have all of their state encapsulated in public fields which may independently be set to any values which are valid for their respective type, or else behave as a single unified value which can only bet set via constructor, factory, method, or else by passing an instance of the struct as an explicit ref parameter to one of its public methods. Contrary to what some people claim, that there's nothing wrong with a struct having public fields, if it is supposed to represent a set of values which may sensibly be either manipulated individually or passed around as a group (e.g. the coordinates of a point). Historically, there have been problems with structures that had public property setters, and a desire to avoid public fields (implying that setters should be used instead) has led some people to suggest that mutable structures should be avoided altogether, but fields do not have the problems that properties had. Indeed, an exposed-field struct is the ideal representation for a loose collection of independent variables, since it is just a loose collection of variables.

In your particular example, however, it appears that the two fields of your struct are probably not supposed to be independent. There are three ways your struct could sensibly be designed:

  • You could have the only public field be the string, and then have a read-only "helper" property called length which would report its length if the string is non-null, or return zero if the string is null.

  • You could have the struct not expose any public fields, property setters, or mutating methods, and have the contents of the only field--a private string--be specified in the object's constructor. As above, length would be a property that would report the length of the stored string.

  • You could have the struct not expose any public fields, property setters, or mutating methods, and have two private fields: one for the string and one for the length, both of which would be set in a constructor that takes a string, stores it, measures its length, and stores that. Determining the length of a string is sufficiently fast that it probably wouldn't be worthwhile to compute and cache it, but it might be useful to have a structure that combined a string and its GetHashCode value.

It's important to be aware of a detail with regard to the third design, however: if non-threadsafe code causes one instance of the structure to be read while another thread is writing to it, that may cause the accidental creation of a struct instance whose field values are inconsistent. The resulting behaviors may be a little different from those that occur when classes are used in non-threadsafe fashion. Any code having anything to do with security must be careful not to assume that structure fields will be in a consistent state, since malicious code--even in a "full trust" enviroment--can easily generate structs whose state is inconsistent if that's what it wants to do.

PS -- If you wish to allow your structure to be initialized using an assignment from a string, I would suggest using an implicit conversion operator and making Length be a read-only property that returns the length of the underlying string if non-null, or zero if the string is null.

Unicode character as bullet for list-item in CSS

To add a star use the Unicode character 22C6.

I added a space to make a little gap between the li and the star. The code for space is A0.

li:before {
    content: '\22C6\A0';
}

How can I make a UITextField move up when the keyboard is present - on starting to edit?

I use Swift and auto layout (but can't comment on the previous Swift answer); here's how I do it without a scroll view:

I layout my form in IB with vertical constraints between the fields to separate them. I add a vertical constraint from the topmost field to the container view, and create an outlet to that (topSpaceForFormConstraint in the code below). All that's needed is to update this constraint, which I do in an animation block for a nice soft motion. The height check is optional of course, in this case I needed to do it just for the smallest screen size.

This can be called using any of the usual textFieldDidBeginEditing or keyboardWillShow methods.

func setFormHeight(top: CGFloat)
{
    let height = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.height

    // restore text input fields for iPhone 4/4s
    if (height < 568) {
        UIView.animateWithDuration(0.2, delay: 0.0, options: nil, animations: {
            self.topSpaceForFormConstraint.constant = top
            self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
            }, completion: nil)
    }

}

jQuery: print_r() display equivalent?

You can also do

console.log("a = %o, b = %o", a, b);

where a and b are objects.

Change "on" color of a Switch

I dont know how to do it from java , But if you have a style defined for your app you can add this line in your style and you will have the desired color for me i have used #3F51B5

<color name="ascentColor">#3F51B5</color>

What's the best way to send a signal to all members of a process group?

I can't comment (not enough reputation), so I am forced to add a new answer, even though this is not really an answer.

There is a slight problem with the otherwise very nice and thorough answer given by @olibre on Feb 28. The output of ps opgid= $PID will contain leading spaces for a PID shorter than five digits because ps is justifying the column (rigth align the numbers). Within the entire command line, this results in a negative sign, followed by space(s), followed by the group PID. Simple solution is to pipe ps to tr to remove spaces:

kill -- -$( ps opgid= $PID | tr -d ' ' )

Difference between IsNullOrEmpty and IsNullOrWhiteSpace in C#

Short answer:

In common use, space " ", Tab "\t" and newline "\n" are the difference:

string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace("\t"); //true
string.IsNullOrEmpty("\t"); //false

string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(" "); //true
string.IsNullOrEmpty(" "); //false

string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace("\n"); //true
string.IsNullOrEmpty("\n"); //false

Long answer:

There are also a few other white space characters, you probably never used before

Adjust UILabel height depending on the text

My approach to compute the dynamic height of UILabel.

    let width = ... //< width of this label 
    let text = ... //< display content

    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = width

    // Font of this label.
    //label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)
    // Compute intrinsicContentSize based on font, and preferredMaxLayoutWidth
    label.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() 
    // Destination height
    let height = label.intrinsicContentSize.height

Wrap to function:

func computeHeight(text: String, width: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
    // A dummy label in order to compute dynamic height.
    let label = UILabel()

    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)

    label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = width
    label.text = text
    label.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()

    let height = label.intrinsicContentSize.height
    return height
}

react change class name on state change

Below is a fully functional example of what I believe you're trying to do (with a functional snippet).

Explanation

Based on your question, you seem to be modifying 1 property in state for all of your elements. That's why when you click on one, all of them are being changed.

In particular, notice that the state tracks an index of which element is active. When MyClickable is clicked, it tells the Container its index, Container updates the state, and subsequently the isActive property of the appropriate MyClickables.

Example

_x000D_
_x000D_
class Container extends React.Component {_x000D_
  state = {_x000D_
    activeIndex: null_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  handleClick = (index) => this.setState({ activeIndex: index })_x000D_
_x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return <div>_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="a" index={0} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===0 } onClick={ this.handleClick } />_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="b" index={1} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===1 } onClick={ this.handleClick }/>_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="c" index={2} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===2 } onClick={ this.handleClick }/>_x000D_
    </div>_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
class MyClickable extends React.Component {_x000D_
  handleClick = () => this.props.onClick(this.props.index)_x000D_
  _x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return <button_x000D_
      type='button'_x000D_
      className={_x000D_
        this.props.isActive ? 'active' : 'album'_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      onClick={ this.handleClick }_x000D_
    >_x000D_
      <span>{ this.props.name }</span>_x000D_
    </button>_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
ReactDOM.render(<Container />, document.getElementById('app'))
_x000D_
button {_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  margin-bottom: 1em;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.album>span:after {_x000D_
  content: ' (an album)';_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.active {_x000D_
  font-weight: bold;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.active>span:after {_x000D_
  content: ' ACTIVE';_x000D_
}
_x000D_

<div id="app"></div>

Update: "Loops"

In response to a comment about a "loop" version, I believe the question is about rendering an array of MyClickable elements. We won't use a loop, but map, which is typical in React + JSX. The following should give you the same result as above, but it works with an array of elements.

// New render method for `Container`
render() {
  const clickables = [
    { name: "a" },
    { name: "b" },
    { name: "c" },
  ]

  return <div>
      { clickables.map(function(clickable, i) {
          return <MyClickable key={ clickable.name }
            name={ clickable.name }
            index={ i }
            isActive={ this.state.activeIndex === i }
            onClick={ this.handleClick }
          />
        } )
      }
  </div>
}

How do I properly force a Git push?

First of all, I would not make any changes directly in the "main" repo. If you really want to have a "main" repo, then you should only push to it, never change it directly.

Regarding the error you are getting, have you tried git pull from your local repo, and then git push to the main repo? What you are currently doing (if I understood it well) is forcing the push and then losing your changes in the "main" repo. You should merge the changes locally first.
