How to find which columns contain any NaN value in Pandas dataframe

df.isna() return True values for NaN, False for the rest. So, doing:

df.isna().any()

will return True for any column having a NaN, False for the rest

repaint() in Java

If you added JComponent to already visible Container, then you have call

frame.getContentPane().validate();
frame.getContentPane().repaint();

for example

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setSize(460, 500);
        frame.setTitle("Circles generator");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              frame.setVisible(true);
           }
        });

        String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter n:");
        CustomComponents0 component = new CustomComponents0();
        frame.add(component);
        frame.getContentPane().validate();
        frame.getContentPane().repaint();
    }

    static class CustomComponents0 extends JLabel {

        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

        @Override
        public Dimension getMinimumSize() {
            return new Dimension(200, 100);
        }

        @Override
        public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
            return new Dimension(300, 200);
        }

        @Override
        public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            int margin = 10;
            Dimension dim = getSize();
            super.paintComponent(g);
            g.setColor(Color.red);
            g.fillRect(margin, margin, dim.width - margin * 2, dim.height - margin * 2);
        }
    }
}

Input type DateTime - Value format?

This article seems to show the valid types that are acceptable

<time>2009-11-13</time>
 <!-- without @datetime content must be a valid date, time, or precise datetime -->
<time datetime="2009-11-13">13<sup>th</sup> November</time>
 <!-- when using @datetime the content can be anything relevant -->
<time datetime="20:00">starting at 8pm</time>
 <!-- time example -->
<time datetime="2009-11-13T20:00+00:00">8pm on my birthday</time>
 <!-- datetime with time-zone example -->
<time datetime="2009-11-13T20:00Z">8pm on my birthday</time>
 <!-- datetime with time-zone “Z” -->

This one covers using it in the <input> field:

<input type="date" name="d" min="2011-08-01" max="2011-08-15"> This example of the HTML5 input type "date" combine with the attributes min and max shows how we can restrict the dates a user can input. The attributes min and max are not dependent on each other and can be used independently.

<input type="time" name="t" value="12:00"> The HTML5 input type "time" allows users to choose a corresponding time that is displayed in a 24hour format. If we did not include the default value of "12:00" the time would set itself to the time of the users local machine.

<input type="week" name="w"> The HTML5 Input type week will display the numerical version of the week denoted by a "W" along with the corresponding year.

<input type="month" name="m"> The HTML5 input type month does exactly what you might expect it to do. It displays the month. To be precise it displays the numerical version of the month along with the year.

<input type="datetime" name="dt"> The HTML5 input type Datetime displays the UTC date and time code. User can change the the time steps forward or backward in one minute increments. If you wish to display the local date and time of the user you will need to use the next example datetime-local

<input type="datetime-local" name="dtl" step="7200"> Because datetime steps through one minute at a time, you may want to change the default increment by using the attribute "step". In the following example we will have it increment by two hours by setting the attribute step to 7200 (60seconds X 60 minutes X 2).

Error : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(I)V

I had the same error when initializing Spring on startup, using some different library versions, but everything worked when I got my versions in this order in the classpath (the other libraries in the cp were not important):

  1. asm-3.1.jar
  2. cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar
  3. asm-attrs-1.5.3.jar

Multiplication on command line terminal

I use this function which uses bc and thus supports floating point calculations:

c () { 
    local a
    (( $# > 0 )) && a="$@" || read -r -p "calc: " a
    bc -l <<< "$a"
}

Example:

$ c '5*5'
25
$ c 5/5
1.00000000000000000000
$ c 3.4/7.9
.43037974683544303797

Bash's arithmetic expansion doesn't support floats (but Korn shell and zsh do).

Example:

$ ksh -c 'echo "$((3.0 / 4))"'
0.75

In Angular, how do you determine the active route?

For Angular version 4+, you don't need to use any complex solution. You can simply use [routerLinkActive]="'is-active'".

For an example with bootstrap 4 nav link:

    <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
      <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
        <a class="nav-link" routerLink="/home">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
        <a class="nav-link" routerLink="/about-us">About Us</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
        <a class="nav-link " routerLink="/contact-us">Contact</a>
      </li>
    </ul>

Is it possible to declare a public variable in vba and assign a default value?

This is what I do when I need Initialized Global Constants:
1. Add a module called Globals
2. Add Properties like this into the Globals module:

Property Get PSIStartRow() As Integer  
    PSIStartRow = Sheets("FOB Prices").Range("F1").Value  
End Property  
Property Get PSIStartCell() As String  
    PSIStartCell = "B" & PSIStartRow  
End Property

How to delete files/subfolders in a specific directory at the command prompt in Windows

The simplest solution I can think of is removing the whole directory with

RD /S /Q folderPath

Then creating this directory again:

MD folderPath

jQuery selector to get form by name

    // this will give all the forms on the page.

    $('form')

   // If you know the name of form then.

    $('form[name="myFormName"]')

  //  If you don't know know the name but the position (starts with 0)

    $('form:eq(1)')  // 2nd form will be fetched.

Write to file, but overwrite it if it exists

To overwrite one file's content to another file. use cat eg.

echo  "this is foo" > foobar.txt
cat foobar.txt

echo "this is bar" > bar.txt
cat bar.txt

Now to overwrite foobar we can use a cat command as below

cat bar.txt >> foobar.txt
cat foobar.txt

enter image description here

How do I get class name in PHP?

Since PHP 5.5 you can use class name resolution via ClassName::class.

See new features of PHP5.5.

<?php

namespace Name\Space;

class ClassName {}

echo ClassName::class;

?>

If you want to use this feature in your class method use static::class:

<?php

namespace Name\Space;

class ClassName {
   /**
    * @return string
    */
   public function getNameOfClass()
   {
      return static::class;
   }
}

$obj = new ClassName();
echo $obj->getNameOfClass();

?>

For older versions of PHP, you can use get_class().

Split function in oracle to comma separated values with automatic sequence

If you need a function try this.
First we'll create a type:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_TABLE IS OBJECT
(
    Field1 int
    , Field2 VARCHAR(25)
);
CREATE TYPE T_TABLE_COLL IS TABLE OF T_TABLE;
/

Then we'll create the function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TEST_RETURN_TABLE
RETURN T_TABLE_COLL
    IS
      l_res_coll T_TABLE_COLL;
      l_index number;
    BEGIN
      l_res_coll := T_TABLE_COLL();
      FOR i IN (
        WITH TAB AS
          (SELECT '1001' ID, 'A,B,C,D,E,F' STR FROM DUAL
          UNION
          SELECT '1002' ID, 'D,E,F' STR FROM DUAL
          UNION
          SELECT '1003' ID, 'C,E,G' STR FROM DUAL
          )
        SELECT id,
          SUBSTR(STR, instr(STR, ',', 1, lvl) + 1, instr(STR, ',', 1, lvl + 1) - instr(STR, ',', 1, lvl) - 1) name
        FROM
          ( SELECT ',' || STR || ',' AS STR, id FROM TAB
          ),
          ( SELECT level AS lvl FROM dual CONNECT BY level <= 100
          )
        WHERE lvl <= LENGTH(STR) - LENGTH(REPLACE(STR, ',')) - 1
        ORDER BY ID, NAME)
      LOOP
        IF i.ID = 1001 THEN
          l_res_coll.extend;
          l_index := l_res_coll.count;
          l_res_coll(l_index):= T_TABLE(i.ID, i.name);
        END IF;
      END LOOP;
      RETURN l_res_coll;
    END;
    /

Now we can select from it:

select * from table(TEST_RETURN_TABLE()); 

Output:

SQL> select * from table(TEST_RETURN_TABLE());

    FIELD1 FIELD2
---------- -------------------------
      1001 A
      1001 B
      1001 C
      1001 D
      1001 E
      1001 F

6 rows selected.

Obviously you'd need to replace the WITH TAB AS... bit with where you would be getting your actual data from. Credit Credit

How to make Bootstrap carousel slider use mobile left/right swipe

Same functionality I prefer than using much heavy jQuery mobile is Carousel Swipe. I suggest directly jump in to source code on github, and copy file carousel-swipe.js in to your project directory.

Use swiper events as bellow:

$('#carousel-example-generic').carousel({
      interval: false 
  });

Like Marcelo's version, it uses an is_container type trait that must be specialized for all containers that are to be supported. It may be possible to use a trait to check for value_type, const_iterator, begin()/end(), but I'm not sure I'd recommend that since it might match things that match those criteria but aren't actually containers, like std::basic_string. Also like Marcelo's version, it uses templates that can be specialized to specify the delimiters to use.

The major difference is that I've built my version around a pretty_ostream_iterator, which works similar to the std::ostream_iterator but doesn't print a delimiter after the last item. Formatting the containers is done by the print_container_helper, which can be used directly to print containers without an is_container trait, or to specify a different delimiters type.

I've also defined is_container and delimiters so it will work for containers with non-standard predicates or allocators, and for both char and wchar_t. The operator<< function itself is also defined to work with both char and wchar_t streams.

Finally, I've used std::enable_if, which is available as part of C++0x, and works in Visual C++ 2010 and g++ 4.3 (needs the -std=c++0x flag) and later. This way there is no dependency on Boost.

Activate a virtualenv with a Python script

The child process environment is lost in the moment it ceases to exist, and moving the environment content from there to the parent is somewhat tricky.

You probably need to spawn a shell script (you can generate one dynamically to /tmp) which will output the virtualenv environment variables to a file, which you then read in the parent Python process and put in os.environ.

Or you simply parse the activate script in using for the line in open("bin/activate"), manually extract stuff, and put in os.environ. It is tricky, but not impossible.

The project was not built since its build path is incomplete

Here is what made the error disappear for me:

Close eclipse, open up a terminal window and run:

$ mvn clean eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

Are you using Maven? If so,

  1. Right-click on the project, Build Path and go to Configure Build Path
  2. Click the libraries tab. If Maven dependencies are not in the list, you need to add it.
  3. Close the dialog.

To add it: Right-click on the project, Maven → Disable Maven Nature Right-click on the project, Configure → Convert to Maven Project.

And then clean

Edit 1:

If that doesn't resolve the issue try right-clicking on your project and select properties. Select Java Build Path → Library tab. Look for a JVM. If it's not there, click to add Library and add the default JVM. If VM is there, click edit and select the default JVM. Hopefully, that works.

Edit 2:

You can also try going into the folder where you have all your projects and delete the .metadata for eclipse (be aware that you'll have to re-import all the projects afterwards! Also all the environment settings you've set would also have to be redone). After it was deleted just import the project again, and hopefully, it works.

Property 'value' does not exist on type EventTarget in TypeScript

Try code below:

  console.log(event['target'].value)

it works for me :-)

Explicitly calling return in a function or not

It seems that without return() it's faster...

library(rbenchmark)
x <- 1
foo <- function(value) {
  return(value)
}
fuu <- function(value) {
  value
}
benchmark(foo(x),fuu(x),replications=1e7)
    test replications elapsed relative user.self sys.self user.child sys.child
1 foo(x)     10000000   51.36 1.185322     51.11     0.11          0         0
2 fuu(x)     10000000   43.33 1.000000     42.97     0.05          0         0

____EDIT __________________

I proceed to others benchmark (benchmark(fuu(x),foo(x),replications=1e7)) and the result is reversed... I'll try on a server.

Using HTTPS with REST in Java

When you say "is there an easier way to... trust this cert", that's exactly what you're doing by adding the cert to your Java trust store. And this is very, very easy to do, and there's nothing you need to do within your client app to get that trust store recognized or utilized.

On your client machine, find where your cacerts file is (that's your default Java trust store, and is, by default, located at <java-home>/lib/security/certs/cacerts.

Then, type the following:

keytool -import -alias <Name for the cert> -file <the .cer file> -keystore <path to cacerts>

That will import the cert into your trust store, and after this, your client app will be able to connect to your Grizzly HTTPS server without issue.

If you don't want to import the cert into your default trust store -- i.e., you just want it to be available to this one client app, but not to anything else you run on your JVM on that machine -- then you can create a new trust store just for your app. Instead of passing keytool the path to the existing, default cacerts file, pass keytool the path to your new trust store file:

keytool -import -alias <Name for the cert> -file <the .cer file> -keystore <path to new trust store>

You'll be asked to set and verify a new password for the trust store file. Then, when you start your client app, start it with the following parameters:

java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<path to new trust store> -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<trust store password>

Easy cheesy, really.

Batch Renaming of Files in a Directory

If you don't mind using regular expressions, then this function would give you much power in renaming files:

import re, glob, os

def renamer(files, pattern, replacement):
    for pathname in glob.glob(files):
        basename= os.path.basename(pathname)
        new_filename= re.sub(pattern, replacement, basename)
        if new_filename != basename:
            os.rename(
              pathname,
              os.path.join(os.path.dirname(pathname), new_filename))

So in your example, you could do (assuming it's the current directory where the files are):

renamer("*.doc", r"^(.*)\.doc$", r"new(\1).doc")

but you could also roll back to the initial filenames:

renamer("*.doc", r"^new\((.*)\)\.doc", r"\1.doc")

and more.

get selected value in datePicker and format it

Use jquery-dateFormat. It will solve your problem.

You need to include the jquery.dateFormat in your html file.

<script>
var date = $('#scheduleDate').val();
document.write($.format.date(date, "dd,MM,yyyy"));

var dateTypeVar = $('#scheduleDate').datepicker('getDate');
document.write($.format.date(dateTypeVar, "dd-MM-yy"));
</script>

How to remove all the punctuation in a string? (Python)

A really simple implementation is:

out = "".join(c for c in asking if c not in ('!','.',':'))

and keep adding any other types of punctuation.

A more efficient way would be

import string
stringIn = "string.with.punctuation!"
out = stringIn.translate(stringIn.maketrans("",""), string.punctuation)

Edit: There is some more discussion on efficiency and other implementations here: Best way to strip punctuation from a string in Python

What is the difference between Jupyter Notebook and JupyterLab?

To answer your question directly:

The single most important difference between the two is that you should start using JupyterLab straight away, and that you should not worry about Jupyter Notebook at all. Because:

JupyterLab will eventually replace the classic Jupyter Notebook. Throughout this transition, the same notebook document format will be supported by both the classic Notebook and JupyterLab

But you would also like to also know this:

Other posts have suggested that Jupyter Notebook (JN) could potentially be easier to use than JupyterLab (JL) for beginners. But I would have to disagree.

A great advantage with JL, and arguably one of the most important differences between JL and JN, is that you can more easily run a single line and even highlighted text. I prefer using a keyboard shortcut for this, and assigning shortcuts is pretty straight-forward.

And the fact that you can execute code in a Python console makes JL much more fun to work with. Other answers have already mentioned this, but JL can in some ways be considered a tool to run Notebooks and more. So the way I use JupyterLab is by having it set up with an .ipynb file, a file browser and a python console like this:

enter image description here

And now you have these tools at your disposal:

  1. View Files, running kernels, Commands, Notebook Tools, Open Tabs or Extension manager
  2. Run cells using, among other options, Ctrl+Enter
  3. Run single expression, line or highlighted text using menu options or keyboard shortcuts
  4. Run code directly in a console using Shift+Enter
  5. Inspect variables, dataframes or plots quickly and easily in a console without cluttering your notebook output.

Get Selected value from Multi-Value Select Boxes by jquery-select2?

You should try this code.

 $("#multiple_Package_Ids_checkboxes").on('change', function (e) { 
        var totAmt = 0;
        $.each($(this).find(":selected"), function (i, item) { 
            totAmt += $(item).data("price");
            });
        $("#PackTotAmt").text(totAmt);
    }); 

Difference between DOMContentLoaded and load events

  • domContentLoaded: marks the point when both the DOM is ready and there are no stylesheets that are blocking JavaScript execution - meaning we can now (potentially) construct the render tree. Many JavaScript frameworks wait for this event before they start executing their own logic. For this reason the browser captures the EventStart and EventEnd timestamps to allow us to track how long this execution took.

  • loadEvent: as a final step in every page load the browser fires an “onload” event which can trigger additional application logic.

Git command to display HEAD commit id?

You can specify git log options to show only the last commit, -1, and a format that includes only the commit ID, like this:

git log -1 --format=%H

If you prefer the shortened commit ID:

git log -1 --format=%h

How to divide two columns?

Presumably, those columns are integer columns - which will be the reason as the result of the calculation will be of the same type.

e.g. if you do this:

SELECT 1 / 2

you will get 0, which is obviously not the real answer. So, convert the values to e.g. decimal and do the calculation based on that datatype instead.

e.g.

SELECT CAST(1 AS DECIMAL) / 2

gives 0.500000

What is the best way to test for an empty string with jquery-out-of-the-box?

How to obtain the start time and end time of a day?

private Date getStartOfDay(Date date) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(0);
    calendar.set(year, month, day, 0, 0, 0);
    return calendar.getTime();
    }

private Date getEndOfDay(Date date) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(0);
    calendar.set(year, month, day, 23, 59, 59);
    return calendar.getTime();
    }

calendar.setTimeInMillis(0); gives you accuracy upto milliseconds

Uninstalling Android ADT

I found a solution by myself after doing some research:

  • Go to Eclipse home folder.
  • Search for 'android' => In Windows 7 you can use search bar.
  • Delete all the file related to android, which is shown in the results.
  • Restart Eclipse.
  • Install the ADT plugin again and Restart plugin.

Now everything works fine.

JQuery show and hide div on mouse click (animate)

That .toggle() method was removed from jQuery in version 1.9. You can do this instead:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#showmenu').click(function() {
            $('.menu').slideToggle("fast");
    });
});

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/APA2S/1/

...but as with the code in your question that would slide up or down. To slide left or right you can do the following:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#showmenu').click(function() {
         $('.menu').toggle("slide");
    });
});

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/APA2S/2/

Noting that this requires jQuery-UI's slide effect, but you added that tag to your question so I assume that is OK.

How to create an empty R vector to add new items

In rpy2, the way to get the very same operator as "[" with R is to use ".rx". See the documentation about extracting with rpy2

For creating vectors, if you know your way around with Python there should not be any issue. See the documentation about creating vectors

Child element click event trigger the parent click event

You need to use event.stopPropagation()

Live Demo

$('#childDiv').click(function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
    alert(event.target.id);
});?

event.stopPropagation()

Description: Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.

java : convert float to String and String to float

This is a possible answer, this will also give the precise data, just need to change the decimal point in the required form.

public class TestStandAlone {

    /**
     * 

This method is to main

* @param args void */ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub try { Float f1=152.32f; BigDecimal roundfinalPrice = new BigDecimal(f1.floatValue()).setScale(2,BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP); System.out.println("f1 --> "+f1); String s1=roundfinalPrice.toPlainString(); System.out.println("s1 "+s1); } catch (Exception e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } }

Output will be

f1 --> 152.32
s1 152.32

How to make return key on iPhone make keyboard disappear?

Took me couple trials, had same issue, this worked for me:

Check your spelling at -

    [textField resignFirstResponder];

I corrected mine at textField instead of textfield, capitalise "F"... and bingo!! it worked..

Getting pids from ps -ef |grep keyword

You can use pgrep as long as you include the -f options. That makes pgrep match keywords in the whole command (including arguments) instead of just the process name.

pgrep -f keyword

From the man page:

-f       The pattern is normally only matched against the process name. When -f is set, the full command line is used.


If you really want to avoid pgrep, try:

ps -ef | awk '/[k]eyword/{print $2}'

Note the [] around the first letter of the keyword. That's a useful trick to avoid matching the awk command itself.

Delete files older than 10 days using shell script in Unix

How do I call a non-static method from a static method in C#?

You'll need to create an instance of the class and invoke the method on it.

public class Foo
{
    public void Data1()
    {
    }

    public static void Data2()
    {
         Foo foo = new Foo();
         foo.Data1();
    }
}

How do you get the cursor position in a textarea?

Here is code to get line number and column position

function getLineNumber(tArea) {

    return tArea.value.substr(0, tArea.selectionStart).split("\n").length;
}

function getCursorPos() {
    var me = $("textarea[name='documenttext']")[0];
    var el = $(me).get(0);
    var pos = 0;
    if ('selectionStart' in el) {
        pos = el.selectionStart;
    } else if ('selection' in document) {
        el.focus();
        var Sel = document.selection.createRange();
        var SelLength = document.selection.createRange().text.length;
        Sel.moveStart('character', -el.value.length);
        pos = Sel.text.length - SelLength;
    }
    var ret = pos - prevLine(me);
    alert(ret);

    return ret; 
}

function prevLine(me) {
    var lineArr = me.value.substr(0, me.selectionStart).split("\n");

    var numChars = 0;

    for (var i = 0; i < lineArr.length-1; i++) {
        numChars += lineArr[i].length+1;
    }

    return numChars;
}

tArea is the text area DOM element

Angular 2 Date Input not binding to date value

As per HTML5, you can use input type="datetime-local" instead of input type="date".

It will allow the [(ngModel)] directive to read and write value from input control.

Note: If the date string contains 'Z' then to implement above solution, you need to trim the 'Z' character from date.

For more details, please go through this link on mozilla docs.

I happened to be working in localhost , in windows 10, using WAMP, as it turns out, Wamp has a really accessible configuration interface to change the MySQL configuration. You just need to go to the Wamp panel, then to MySQL, then to settings and change the mode to sql-mode: none.(essentially disabling the strict mode) The following picture illustrates this.

How to replace a set of tokens in a Java String?

You could try using a templating library like Apache Velocity.

http://velocity.apache.org/

Here is an example:

import org.apache.velocity.VelocityContext;
import org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity;

import java.io.StringWriter;

public class TemplateExample {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        Velocity.init();

        VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
        context.put("name", "Mark");
        context.put("invoiceNumber", "42123");
        context.put("dueDate", "June 6, 2009");

        String template = "Hello $name. Please find attached invoice" +
                          " $invoiceNumber which is due on $dueDate.";
        StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
        Velocity.evaluate(context, writer, "TemplateName", template);

        System.out.println(writer);
    }
}

The output would be:

Hello Mark. Please find attached invoice 42123 which is due on June 6, 2009.

JS Client-Side Exif Orientation: Rotate and Mirror JPEG Images

ok in addition to @user3096626 answer i think it will be more helpful if someone provided code example, the following example will show you how to fix image orientation comes from url (remote images):


Solution 1: using javascript (recommended)

  1. because load-image library doesn't extract exif tags from url images only (file/blob), we will use both exif-js and load-image javascript libraries, so first add these libraries to your page as the follow:

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/exif-js/2.1.0/exif.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/blueimp-load-image/2.12.2/load-image.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/blueimp-load-image/2.12.2/load-image-scale.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/blueimp-load-image/2.12.2/load-image-orientation.min.js"></script>
    

    Note the version 2.2 of exif-js seems has issues so we used 2.1

  2. then basically what we will do is

    a - load the image using window.loadImage()

    b - read exif tags using window.EXIF.getData()

    c - convert the image to canvas and fix the image orientation using window.loadImage.scale()

    d - place the canvas into the document

here you go :)

window.loadImage("/your-image.jpg", function (img) {
  if (img.type === "error") {
    console.log("couldn't load image:", img);
  } else {
    window.EXIF.getData(img, function () {
        var orientation = EXIF.getTag(this, "Orientation");
        var canvas = window.loadImage.scale(img, {orientation: orientation || 0, canvas: true});
        document.getElementById("container").appendChild(canvas); 
        // or using jquery $("#container").append(canvas);

    });
  }
});

of course also you can get the image as base64 from the canvas object and place it in the img src attribute, so using jQuery you can do ;)

$("#my-image").attr("src",canvas.toDataURL());

here is the full code on: github: https://github.com/digital-flowers/loadimage-exif-example


Solution 2: using html (browser hack)

there is a very quick and easy hack, most browsers display the image in the right orientation if the image is opened inside a new tab directly without any html (LOL i don't know why), so basically you can display your image using iframe by putting the iframe src attribute as the image url directly:

<iframe src="/my-image.jpg"></iframe>

Solution 3: using css (only firefox & safari on ios)

there is css3 attribute to fix image orientation but the problem it is only working on firefox and safari/ios it is still worth mention because soon it will be available for all browsers (Browser support info from caniuse)

img {
   image-orientation: from-image;
}

How to exit a function in bash

If you want to return from an outer function with an error without exiting you can use this trick:

do-something-complex() {
  # Using `return` here would only return from `fail`, not from `do-something-complex`.
  # Using `exit` would close the entire shell.
  # So we (ab)use a different feature. :)
  fail() { : "${__fail_fast:?$1}"; }

  nested-func() {
      try-this || fail "This didn't work"
      try-that || fail "That didn't work"
  }
  nested-func
}

Trying it out:

$ do-something-complex
try-this: command not found
bash: __fail_fast: This didn't work

This has the added benefit/drawback that you can optionally turn off this feature: __fail_fast=x do-something-complex.

Note that this causes the outermost function to return 1.

Converting XDocument to XmlDocument and vice versa

You can use the built in xDocument.CreateReader() and an XmlNodeReader to convert back and forth.

Putting that into an Extension method to make it easier to work with.

using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace MyTest
{
    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
            xmlDocument.LoadXml("<Root><Child>Test</Child></Root>");

            var xDocument = xmlDocument.ToXDocument();
            var newXmlDocument = xDocument.ToXmlDocument();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

    public static class DocumentExtensions
    {
        public static XmlDocument ToXmlDocument(this XDocument xDocument)
        {
            var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
            using(var xmlReader = xDocument.CreateReader())
            {
                xmlDocument.Load(xmlReader);
            }
            return xmlDocument;
        }

        public static XDocument ToXDocument(this XmlDocument xmlDocument)
        {
            using (var nodeReader = new XmlNodeReader(xmlDocument))
            {
                nodeReader.MoveToContent();
                return XDocument.Load(nodeReader);
            }
        }
    }
}

Create a CSV File for a user in PHP

Here is an improved version of the function from php.net that @Andrew posted.

function download_csv_results($results, $name = NULL)
{
    if( ! $name)
    {
        $name = md5(uniqid() . microtime(TRUE) . mt_rand()). '.csv';
    }

    header('Content-Type: text/csv');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='. $name);
    header('Pragma: no-cache');
    header("Expires: 0");

    $outstream = fopen("php://output", "wb");

    foreach($results as $result)
    {
        fputcsv($outstream, $result);
    }

    fclose($outstream);
}

It is really easy to use and works great with MySQL(i)/PDO result sets.

download_csv_results($results, 'your_name_here.csv');

Remember to exit() after calling this if you are done with the page.

General error: 1364 Field 'user_id' doesn't have a default value

In your file create_file, the null option must be enabled.

Python List & for-each access (Find/Replace in built-in list)

You could replace something in there by getting the index along with the item.

>>> foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'A', 'B', 'C']
>>> for index, item in enumerate(foo):
...     print(index, item)
...
(0, 'a')
(1, 'b')
(2, 'c')
(3, 'A')
(4, 'B')
(5, 'C')
>>> for index, item in enumerate(foo):
...     if item in ('a', 'A'):
...         foo[index] = 'replaced!'
...
>>> foo
['replaced!', 'b', 'c', 'replaced!', 'B', 'C']

Note that if you want to remove something from the list you have to iterate over a copy of the list, else you will get errors since you're trying to change the size of something you are iterating over. This can be done quite easily with slices.

Wrong:

>>> foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 1, 2, 3]
>>> for item in foo:
...     if isinstance(item, int):
...         foo.remove(item)
...
>>> foo 
['a', 'b', 'c', 2]

The 2 is still in there because we modified the size of the list as we iterated over it. The correct way would be:

>>> foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 1, 2, 3]
>>> for item in foo[:]:
...     if isinstance(item, int):
...         foo.remove(item)
...
>>> foo 
['a', 'b', 'c']

Check if pull needed in Git

I based this solution on the comments of @jberger.

if git checkout master &&
    git fetch origin master &&
    [ `git rev-list HEAD...origin/master --count` != 0 ] &&
    git merge origin/master
then
    echo 'Updated!'
else
    echo 'Not updated.'
fi

What is code coverage and how do YOU measure it?

Code coverage has been explained well in the previous answers. So this is more of an answer to the second part of the question.

We've used three tools to determine code coverage.

  1. JTest - a proprietary tool built over JUnit. (It generates unit tests as well.)
  2. Cobertura - an open source code coverage tool that can easily be coupled with JUnit tests to generate reports.
  3. Emma - another - this one we've used for a slightly different purpose than unit testing. It has been used to generate coverage reports when the web application is accessed by end-users. This coupled with web testing tools (example: Canoo) can give you very useful coverage reports which tell you how much code is covered during typical end user usage.

We use these tools to

  • Review that developers have written good unit tests
  • Ensure that all code is traversed during black-box testing

How to read keyboard-input?

Non-blocking, multi-threaded example:

As blocking on keyboard input (since the input() function blocks) is frequently not what we want to do (we'd frequently like to keep doing other stuff), here's a very-stripped-down multi-threaded example to demonstrate how to keep running your main application while still reading in keyboard inputs whenever they arrive.

This works by creating one thread to run in the background, continually calling input() and then passing any data it receives to a queue.

In this way, your main thread is left to do anything it wants, receiving the keyboard input data from the first thread whenever there is something in the queue.

1. Bare Python 3 code example (no comments):

import threading
import queue
import time

def read_kbd_input(inputQueue):
    print('Ready for keyboard input:')
    while (True):
        input_str = input()
        inputQueue.put(input_str)

def main():
    EXIT_COMMAND = "exit"
    inputQueue = queue.Queue()

    inputThread = threading.Thread(target=read_kbd_input, args=(inputQueue,), daemon=True)
    inputThread.start()

    while (True):
        if (inputQueue.qsize() > 0):
            input_str = inputQueue.get()
            print("input_str = {}".format(input_str))

            if (input_str == EXIT_COMMAND):
                print("Exiting serial terminal.")
                break
            
            # Insert your code here to do whatever you want with the input_str.

        # The rest of your program goes here.

The Python Queue library is thread-safe:

Note that Queue.put() and Queue.get() and other Queue class methods are thread-safe! That means they implement all the internal locking semantics required for inter-thread operations, so each function call in the queue class can be considered as a single, atomic operation. See the notes at the top of the documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/library/queue.html (emphasis added):

The queue module implements multi-producer, multi-consumer queues. It is especially useful in threaded programming when information must be exchanged safely between multiple threads. The Queue class in this module implements all the required locking semantics.

Meaning of tilde in Linux bash (not home directory)

It's possible you're seeing OpenDirectory/ActiveDirectory/LDAP users "automounted" into your home directory.

In *nix, ~ will resolve to your home directory. Likewise ~X will resolve to 'user X'.

Similar to automount for directories, OpenDirectory/ActiveDirectory/LDAP is used in larger/corporate environments to automount user directories. These users may be actual people or they can be machine accounts created to provide various features.

If you type ~Tab you'll see a list of the users on your machine.

Running two projects at once in Visual Studio

Max has the best solution for when you always want to start both projects, but you can also right click a project and choose menu Debug ? Start New Instance.

This is an option when you only occasionally need to start the second project or when you need to delay the start of the second project (maybe the server needs to get up and running before the client tries to connect, or something).

Are HTTP headers case-sensitive?

They are not case sensitive. In fact NodeJS web server explicitly converts them to lower-case, before making them available in the request object.

It's important to note here that all headers are represented in lower-case only, regardless of how the client actually sent them. This simplifies the task of parsing headers for whatever purpose.

Intellij Idea: Importing Gradle project - getting JAVA_HOME not defined yet

For MacOS this worked for me without the need to hardcode a particular Java version:

launchctl setenv JAVA_HOME "$(jenv javahome)"

Error: Unfortunately you can't have non-Gradle Java modules and > Android-Gradle modules in one project

In my case settings.gradle contained invalid configuration.

I changed:

include ':app'
rootProject.name='<somthing else>'

To:

include ':app'

Error is gone. So maybe check your settings.gradle for potential errors. If this won't work try to remove cache and other tips.

Get immediate first child element

Both these will give you the first child node:

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

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

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

Edit

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

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

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

C# adding a character in a string

Remember a string is immutable so you will need to create a new string.

Strings are IEnumerable so you should be able to run a for loop over it

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string alpha = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
            var builder = new StringBuilder();
            int count = 0;
            foreach (var c in alpha)
            {
                builder.Append(c);
                if ((++count % 5) == 0)
                {
                    builder.Append('-');
                }
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Before: {0}", alpha);
            alpha = builder.ToString();
            Console.WriteLine("After: {0}", alpha);
        }
    }
}

Produces this:

Before: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After: abcde-fghij-klmno-pqrst-uvwxy-z

Age from birthdate in python

Expanding on Danny's Solution, but with all sorts of ways to report ages for younger folk (note, today is datetime.date(2015,7,17)):

def calculate_age(born):
    '''
        Converts a date of birth (dob) datetime object to years, always rounding down.
        When the age is 80 years or more, just report that the age is 80 years or more.
        When the age is less than 12 years, rounds down to the nearest half year.
        When the age is less than 2 years, reports age in months, rounded down.
        When the age is less than 6 months, reports the age in weeks, rounded down.
        When the age is less than 2 weeks, reports the age in days.
    '''
    today = datetime.date.today()
    age_in_years = today.year - born.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (born.month, born.day))
    months = (today.month - born.month - (today.day < born.day)) %12
    age = today - born
    age_in_days = age.days
    if age_in_years >= 80:
        return 80, 'years or older'
    if age_in_years >= 12:
        return age_in_years, 'years'
    elif age_in_years >= 2:
        half = 'and a half ' if months > 6 else ''
        return age_in_years, '%syears'%half
    elif months >= 6:
        return months, 'months'
    elif age_in_days >= 14:
        return age_in_days/7, 'weeks'
    else:
        return age_in_days, 'days'

Sample code:

print '%d %s' %calculate_age(datetime.date(1933,6,12)) # >=80 years
print '%d %s' %calculate_age(datetime.date(1963,6,12)) # >=12 years
print '%d %s' %calculate_age(datetime.date(2010,6,19)) # >=2 years
print '%d %s' %calculate_age(datetime.date(2010,11,19)) # >=2 years with half

print '%d %s' %calculate_age(datetime.date(2015,6,4)) # >=2 weeks
print '%d %s' %calculate_age(datetime.date(2015,7,11)) # days old

x86 Assembly on a Mac

Using multiprocessing.Process with a maximum number of simultaneous processes

I think Semaphore is what you are looking for, it will block the main process after counting down to 0. Sample code:

from multiprocessing import Process
from multiprocessing import Semaphore
import time

def f(name, sema):
    print('process {} starting doing business'.format(name))
    # simulate a time-consuming task by sleeping
    time.sleep(5)
    # `release` will add 1 to `sema`, allowing other 
    # processes blocked on it to continue
    sema.release()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    concurrency = 20
    total_task_num = 1000
    sema = Semaphore(concurrency)
    all_processes = []
    for i in range(total_task_num):
        # once 20 processes are running, the following `acquire` call
        # will block the main process since `sema` has been reduced
        # to 0. This loop will continue only after one or more 
        # previously created processes complete.
        sema.acquire()
        p = Process(target=f, args=(i, sema))
        all_processes.append(p)
        p.start()

    # inside main process, wait for all processes to finish
    for p in all_processes:
        p.join()

The following code is more structured since it acquires and releases sema in the same function. However, it will consume too much resources if total_task_num is very large:

from multiprocessing import Process
from multiprocessing import Semaphore
import time

def f(name, sema):
    print('process {} starting doing business'.format(name))
    # `sema` is acquired and released in the same
    # block of code here, making code more readable,
    # but may lead to problem.
    sema.acquire()
    time.sleep(5)
    sema.release()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    concurrency = 20
    total_task_num = 1000
    sema = Semaphore(concurrency)
    all_processes = []
    for i in range(total_task_num):
        p = Process(target=f, args=(i, sema))
        all_processes.append(p)
        # the following line won't block after 20 processes
        # have been created and running, instead it will carry 
        # on until all 1000 processes are created.
        p.start()

    # inside main process, wait for all processes to finish
    for p in all_processes:
        p.join()

The above code will create total_task_num processes but only concurrency processes will be running while other processes are blocked, consuming precious system resources.

Update Fragment from ViewPager

If you use Kotlin, you can do the following:

1. On first, you should be create Interface and implemented him in your Fragment

interface RefreshData {
    fun refresh()
}

class YourFragment : Fragment(), RefreshData {
    ...
    override fun refresh() {
        //do what you want
    }
}

2. Next step is add OnPageChangeListener to your ViewPager

viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(object : ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
    override fun onPageScrollStateChanged(state: Int) { }

    override fun onPageSelected(position: Int) {
        viewPagerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
        viewPager.currentItem = position
    }

    override fun onPageScrolled(position: Int, positionOffset: Float, positionOffsetPixels: Int) { }
})

3. override getItemPosition in your Adapter

override fun getItemPosition(obj: Any): Int {
    if (obj is RefreshData) {
        obj.refresh()
    }
    return super.getItemPosition(obj)
}

Min / Max Validator in Angular 2 Final

I've added a max validation to amd's great answer.

import { Directive, Input, forwardRef } from '@angular/core'
import { NG_VALIDATORS, Validator, AbstractControl, Validators } from '@angular/forms'

/*
 * This is a wrapper for [min] and [max], used to work with template driven forms
 */

@Directive({
  selector: '[min]',
  providers: [{ provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: MinNumberValidator, multi: true }]
})
export class MinNumberValidator implements Validator {

  @Input() min: number;

  validate(control: AbstractControl): { [key: string]: any } {
    return Validators.min(this.min)(control)
  }
}

@Directive({
  selector: '[max]',
  providers: [{ provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: MaxNumberValidator, multi: true }]
})
export class MaxNumberValidator implements Validator {

  @Input() max: number;

  validate(control: AbstractControl): { [key: string]: any } {
    return Validators.max(this.max)(control)
  }
}

Reset par to the default values at startup

dev.off() is the best function, but it clears also all plots. If you want to keep plots in your window, at the beginning save default par settings:

def.par = par()

Then when you use your par functions you still have a backup of default par settings. Later on, after generating plots, finish with:

par(def.par) #go back to default par settings

With this, you keep generated plots and reset par settings.

load external URL into modal jquery ui dialog

I did it this way, where 'struts2ActionName' is the struts2 action in my case. You may use any url instead.

var urlAdditionCert =${pageContext.request.contextPath}/struts2ActionName";

    modal: true,
    height: $("#body").height(),
    width: $("#body").width()*.8

How to read a file from jar in Java?

Check first your class loader.

ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

if (classLoader == null) {
    classLoader = Class.class.getClassLoader();
}

classLoader.getResourceAsStream("xmlFileNameInJarFile.xml");

// xml file location at xxx.jar
// + folder
// + folder
// xmlFileNameInJarFile.xml

Checking if a string array contains a value, and if so, getting its position

The simplest and shorter method would be the following.

string[] stringArray = { "text1", "text2", "text3", "text4" };
string value = "text3";

if(stringArray.Contains(value))
{
    // Do something if the value is available in Array.
}

Regex pattern inside SQL Replace function?

Here is a function I wrote to accomplish this based off of the previous answers.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.RepetitiveReplace

    @P_Pattern VARCHAR(MAX),
    @P_ReplaceString VARCHAR(MAX),
    @P_ReplaceLength INT = 1
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
BEGIN
    DECLARE @Index INT;

    -- Get starting point of pattern
    SET @Index = PATINDEX(@P_Pattern, @P_String);

    while @Index > 0
    begin
        --replace matching charactger at index
        SET @P_String = STUFF(@P_String, PATINDEX(@P_Pattern, @P_String), @P_ReplaceLength, @P_ReplaceString);
        SET @Index = PATINDEX(@P_Pattern, @P_String);
    end

    RETURN @P_String;
END;

Gist

Edit:

Originally I had a recursive function here which does not play well with sql server as it has a 32 nesting level limit which would result in an error like the below any time you attempt to make 32+ replacements with the function. Instead of trying to make a server level change to allow more nesting (which could be dangerous like allow never ending loops) switching to a while loop makes a lot more sense.

Maximum stored procedure, function, trigger, or view nesting level exceeded (limit 32).

Convert List(of object) to List(of string)

If you want more control over how the conversion takes place, you can use ConvertAll:

var stringList = myList.ConvertAll(obj => obj.SomeToStringMethod());

Why use deflate instead of gzip for text files served by Apache?

I think there's no big difference between deflate and gzip, because gzip basically is just a header wrapped around deflate (see RFCs 1951 and 1952).

Converting a char to uppercase

If you are including the apache commons lang jar in your project than the easiest solution would be to do:

WordUtils.capitalize(Name)

takes care of all the dirty work for you. See the javadoc here

Alternatively, you also have a capitalizeFully(String) method which also lower cases the rest of the characters.

How do I get a YouTube video thumbnail from the YouTube API?

YouTube is serving thumbnails from 2 servers. You just need to replace <YouTube_Video_ID_HERE> with your own YouTube video id. These days webP is best format for fast loading of images due to small image size.

https://img.youtube.com https://i.ytimg.com

Examples are with https://i.ytimg.com server just because it’s shorter, no other particular reason. You can use both.

How to inject window into a service?

In Angular RC4 the following works which is a combination of some of the above answers, in your root app.ts add it the providers:

@Component({
    templateUrl: 'build/app.html',
    providers: [
        anotherProvider,
        { provide: Window, useValue: window }
    ]
})

Then in your service etc inject it into the constructor

constructor(
      @Inject(Window) private _window: Window,
)

How to get the real path of Java application at runtime?

And what about using this.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation()?

How to get Android application id?

The PackageInfo.sharedUserId field will show the user Id assigned in the manifest.

If you want two applications to have the same userId, so they can see each other's data and run in the same process, then assign them the same userId in the manifest:

android:sharedUserId="string"

The two packages with the same sharedUserId need to have the same signature too.

I would also recommend reading here for a nudge in the right direction.

How to handle the click event in Listview in android?

First, the class must implements the click listenener :

implements OnItemClickListener

Then set a listener to the ListView

yourList.setOnItemclickListener(this);

And finally, create the clic method:

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You Clicked at ",   
 Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Load CSV file with Spark

This is in PYSPARK

path="Your file path with file name"

df=spark.read.format("csv").option("header","true").option("inferSchema","true").load(path)

Then you can check

df.show(5)
df.count()

Prevent Sequelize from outputting SQL to the console on execution of query?

As in other answers, you can just set logging:false, but I think better than completely disabling logging, you can just embrace log levels in your app. Sometimes you may want to take a look at the executed queries so it may be better to configure Sequelize to log at level verbose or debug. for example (I'm using winston here as a logging framework but you can use any other framework) :

var sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password', {
  logging: winston.debug
});

This will output SQL statements only if winston log level is set to debug or lower debugging levels. If log level is warn or info for example SQL will not be logged

Adding a Scrollable JTextArea (Java)

You don't need two JScrollPanes.

Example:

JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(ta);  

// Add the scroll pane into the content pane
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().add(sp);

Dynamic tabs with user-click chosen components

there is component ready to use (rc5 compatible) ng2-steps which uses Compiler to inject component to step container and service for wiring everything together (data sync)

    import { Directive , Input, OnInit, Compiler , ViewContainerRef } from '@angular/core';

import { StepsService } from './ng2-steps';

@Directive({
  selector:'[ng2-step]'
})
export class StepDirective implements OnInit{

  @Input('content') content:any;
  @Input('index') index:string;
  public instance;

  constructor(
    private compiler:Compiler,
    private viewContainerRef:ViewContainerRef,
    private sds:StepsService
  ){}

  ngOnInit(){
    //Magic!
    this.compiler.compileComponentAsync(this.content).then((cmpFactory)=>{
      const injector = this.viewContainerRef.injector;
      this.viewContainerRef.createComponent(cmpFactory, 0,  injector);
    });
  }

}

What's the difference between "2*2" and "2**2" in Python?

The top one is a "power" operator, so in this case it is the same as 2 * 2 equal to is 2 to the power of 2. If you put a 3 in the middle position, you will see a difference.

Warning: comparison with string literals results in unspecified behaviour

I ran across this issue today working with a clients program. The program works FINE in VS6.0 using the following: (I've changed it slightly)

//
// This is the one include file that every user-written Nextest programs needs.
// Patcom-generated files will also look for this file.
//
#include "stdio.h"
#define IS_NONE( a_key )   ( ( a_key == "none" || a_key == "N/A" ) ? TRUE : FALSE )

//
// Note in my environment we have output() which is printf which adds /n at the end
//
main {
    char *psNameNone = "none";
    char *psNameNA   = "N/A";
    char *psNameCAT  = "CAT";

    if (IS_NONE(psNameNone) ) {
        output("psNameNone Matches NONE");
        output("%s psNameNoneAddr 0x%x  \"none\" addr 0x%X",
            psNameNone,psNameNone,
            "none");
    } else {
        output("psNameNone Does Not Match None");
        output("%s psNameNoneAddr 0x%x  \"none\" addr 0x%X",
            psNameNone,psNameNone,
            "none");
    }

    if (IS_NONE(psNameNA) ) {
        output("psNameNA Matches N/A");
        output("%s psNameNA 0x%x  \"N/A\" addr 0x%X",
        psNameNA,psNameNA,
        "N/A");
    } else {
        output("psNameNone Does Not Match N/A");
        output("%s psNameNA 0x%x  \"N/A\" addr 0x%X",
        psNameNA,psNameNA,
        "N/A");
    }
    if (IS_NONE(psNameCAT)) {
        output("psNameNA Matches CAT");
        output("%s psNameNA 0x%x  \"CAT\" addr 0x%X",
        psNameNone,psNameNone,
        "CAT");
    } else {
        output("psNameNA does not match CAT");
        output("%s psNameNA 0x%x  \"CAT\" addr 0x%X",
        psNameNone,psNameNone,
        "CAT");
    }
}

If built in VS6.0 with Program Database with Edit and Continue. The compares APPEAR to work. With this setting STRING pooling is enabled, and the compiler optimizes all STRING pointers to POINT TO THE SAME ADDRESSS, so this can work. Any strings created on the fly after compile time will have DIFFERENT addresses so will fail the compare. Where Compiler settings are Changing the setting to Program Database only will build the program so that it will fail.

Remove padding from columns in Bootstrap 3

Building up on Vitaliy Silin's answer. Covering not only cases where we do not want padding at all, but also cases where we have standard size paddings.

See the live conversion of this code to CSS on sassmeister.com

@mixin padding($side, $size) {
    $padding-size : 0;
    @if $size == 'xs' { $padding-size : 5px; }
    @else if $size == 's' { $padding-size : 10px; }
    @else if $size == 'm' { $padding-size : 15px; }
    @else if $size == 'l' { $padding-size : 20px; }

    @if $side == 'all' {
        .padding--#{$size} {
            padding: $padding-size !important;
        }
    } @else {
        .padding-#{$side}--#{$size} {
            padding-#{$side}: $padding-size !important;
        }
    }
}

$sides-list: all top right bottom left;
$sizes-list: none xs s m l;
@each $current-side in $sides-list {
  @each $current-size in $sizes-list {
    @include padding($current-side,$current-size);
  }
}

This then outputs:

.padding--none {

.padding--xs {
  padding: 5px !important;
}

.padding--s {
  padding: 10px !important;

}

.padding-top--m {
  padding-top: 15px !important;
}

.padding-top--l {
  padding-top: 20px !important;
}

.padding-right--none {

}

.padding-bottom--xs {
  padding-bottom: 5px !important;
}

.padding-bottom--s {
  padding-bottom: 10px !important;
}

.padding-bottom--m {
  padding-bottom: 15px !important;
}

.padding-bottom--l {
  padding-bottom: 20px !important;
}

.padding-left--none {

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

No multi-line comments in R as of version 2.12 and unlikely to change. In most environments, you can comment blocks by highlighting and toggle-comment. In emacs, this is 'M-x ;'.

Why does intellisense and code suggestion stop working when Visual Studio is open?

I am having the same issue; Intellisense randomly will stop showing in some files, but not others. I just had it happen to me again. Hitting Ctrl + Space won't show anything in Form1, switching to Form2 or any other class will pop up the list as expected. Restarting Visual Studio usually does the trick, though it's highly annoying and ridiculous for such a basic feature to be broken...

AngularJs .$setPristine to reset form

Just for those who want to get $setPristine without having to upgrade to v1.1.x, here is the function I used to simulate the $setPristine function. I was reluctant to use the v1.1.5 because one of the AngularUI components I used is no compatible.

var setPristine = function(form) {
    if (form.$setPristine) {//only supported from v1.1.x
        form.$setPristine();
    } else {
        /*
         *Underscore looping form properties, you can use for loop too like:
         *for(var i in form){ 
         *  var input = form[i]; ...
         */
        _.each(form, function (input) {
            if (input.$dirty) {
                input.$dirty = false;
            }
        });
    }
};

Note that it ONLY makes $dirty fields clean and help changing the 'show error' condition like $scope.myForm.myField.$dirty && $scope.myForm.myField.$invalid.

Other parts of the form object (like the css classes) still need to consider, but this solve my problem: hide error messages.

Does Python have a string 'contains' substring method?

If you are happy with "blah" in somestring but want it to be a function/method call, you can probably do this

import operator

if not operator.contains(somestring, "blah"):
    continue

All operators in Python can be more or less found in the operator module including in.

How do I best silence a warning about unused variables?

C++17 Update

In C++17 we gain the attribute [[maybe_unused]] which is covered in [dcl.attr.unused]

The attribute-token maybe_unused indicates that a name or entity is possibly intentionally unused. It shall appear at most once in each attribute-list and no attribute-argument-clause shall be present. ...

Example:

 [[maybe_unused]] void f([[maybe_unused]] bool thing1,
                        [[maybe_unused]] bool thing2) {
  [[maybe_unused]] bool b = thing1 && thing2;
    assert(b);
 }

Implementations should not warn that b is unused, whether or not NDEBUG is defined. —end example ]

For the following example:

int foo ( int bar) {
    bool unused_bool ;
    return 0;
}

Both clang and gcc generate a diagnostic using -Wall -Wextra for both bar and unused_bool (See it live).

While adding [[maybe_unused]] silences the diagnostics:

int foo ([[maybe_unused]] int bar) {
    [[maybe_unused]] bool unused_bool ;
    return 0;
}

see it live.

Before C++17

In C++11 an alternative form of the UNUSED macro could be formed using a lambda expression(via Ben Deane) with an capture of the unused variable:

#define UNUSED(x) [&x]{}()

The immediate invocation of the lambda expression should be optimized away, given the following example:

int foo (int bar) {
    UNUSED(bar) ;
    return 0;
}

we can see in godbolt that the call is optimized away:

foo(int):
xorl    %eax, %eax
ret

Tools: replace not replacing in Android manifest

Final Working Solution for me (Highlighted the tages in the sample code):

  1. add the xmlns:tools line in the manifest tag
  2. add tools:replace in the application tag

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="pagination.yoga.com.tamiltv"
    **xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"**
    >

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

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        **tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme"**
        >

Android: Cancel Async Task

How to cancel AsyncTask

Full answer is here - Android AsyncTask Example

AsyncTask provides a better cancellation strategy, to terminate currently running task.

cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfitRunning)

myTask.cancel(false)- It makes isCancelled returns true. Helps to cancel the task.

myTask.cancel(true) – It also makes isCancelled() returns true, interrupt the background thread and relieves resources .

It is considered as an arrogant way, If there is any thread.sleep() method performing in background thread, cancel(true) will interrupt background thread at that time. But cancel(false) will wait for it and cancel task when that method completes.

If you invoke cancel() and doInBackground() hasn’t begun execute yet. onCancelled() will invoke.

After invoking cancel(…) you should check value returned by isCancelled() on doInbackground() periodically. just like shown below.

protected Object doInBackground(Params… params)  { 
 while (condition)
{
 ...
if (isCancelled()) 
break;
}
return null; 
}

How to iterate using ngFor loop Map containing key as string and values as map iteration

For Angular 6.1+ , you can use default pipe keyvalue ( Do review and upvote also ) :

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let recipient of map | keyvalue">
        {{recipient.key}} --> {{recipient.value}}
    </li>
</ul>

WORKING DEMO


For the previous version :

One simple solution to this is convert map to array : Array.from

Component Side :

map = new Map<String, String>();

constructor(){
    this.map.set("sss","sss");
    this.map.set("aaa","sss");
    this.map.set("sass","sss");
    this.map.set("xxx","sss");
    this.map.set("ss","sss");
    this.map.forEach((value: string, key: string) => {
        console.log(key, value);
    });
}

getKeys(map){
    return Array.from(map.keys());
}

Template Side :

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let recipient of getKeys(map)">
    {{recipient}}
   </li>
</ul>

What is the Record type in typescript?

  1. Can someone give a simple definition of what Record is?

A Record<K, T> is an object type whose property keys are K and whose property values are T. That is, keyof Record<K, T> is equivalent to K, and Record<K, T>[K] is (basically) equivalent to T.

  1. Is Record<K,T> merely a way of saying "all properties on this object will have type T"? Probably not all objects, since K has some purpose...

As you note, K has a purpose... to limit the property keys to particular values. If you want to accept all possible string-valued keys, you could do something like Record<string, T>, but the idiomatic way of doing that is to use an index signature like { [k: string]: T }.

  1. Does the K generic forbid additional keys on the object that are not K, or does it allow them and just indicate that their properties are not transformed to T?

It doesn't exactly "forbid" additional keys: after all, a value is generally allowed to have properties not explicitly mentioned in its type... but it wouldn't recognize that such properties exist:

declare const x: Record<"a", string>;
x.b; // error, Property 'b' does not exist on type 'Record<"a", string>'

and it would treat them as excess properties which are sometimes rejected:

declare function acceptR(x: Record<"a", string>): void;
acceptR({a: "hey", b: "you"}); // error, Object literal may only specify known properties

and sometimes accepted:

const y = {a: "hey", b: "you"};
acceptR(y); // okay
  1. With the given example:

    type ThreeStringProps = Record<'prop1' | 'prop2' | 'prop3', string>
    

    Is it exactly the same as this?:

    type ThreeStringProps = {prop1: string, prop2: string, prop3: string}
    

Yes!

Hope that helps. Good luck!

How to convert string to datetime format in pandas python?

Use to_datetime, there is no need for a format string the parser is man/woman enough to handle it:

In [51]:
pd.to_datetime(df['I_DATE'])

Out[51]:
0   2012-03-28 14:15:00
1   2012-03-28 14:17:28
2   2012-03-28 14:50:50
Name: I_DATE, dtype: datetime64[ns]

To access the date/day/time component use the dt accessor:

In [54]:
df['I_DATE'].dt.date

Out[54]:
0    2012-03-28
1    2012-03-28
2    2012-03-28
dtype: object

In [56]:    
df['I_DATE'].dt.time

Out[56]:
0    14:15:00
1    14:17:28
2    14:50:50
dtype: object

You can use strings to filter as an example:

In [59]:
df = pd.DataFrame({'date':pd.date_range(start = dt.datetime(2015,1,1), end = dt.datetime.now())})
df[(df['date'] > '2015-02-04') & (df['date'] < '2015-02-10')]

Out[59]:
         date
35 2015-02-05
36 2015-02-06
37 2015-02-07
38 2015-02-08
39 2015-02-09

Configuring user and password with Git Bash

GnuPG can be used as cross-platform password manager, including GIT HTTPS credetials. Just use your GPG key-pair to encrypt/decrypt passwords(tokens...). To encrypt token(password) run:

gpg -e -o [PATH_TO_ENCRYPTED_TOKEN] -r "[GPG_KEY_USER_ID]"

type the token (or copy-paste it) then press Ctrl+D for ending input, or use file name with this token. Then make custom git credential helper: BASH file with name git-credential-[HELPER_LAST_NAME] (without SH extension):

#!/bin/bash
token=`gpg -d -r "[GPG_KEY_USER_ID]" [PATH_TO_ENCRYPTED_TOKEN] 2>/dev/null`
echo protocol=https
echo host=[YOUR_HOST]
echo username=[YOUR_USER_NAME]
echo password=$token

On MS-WINDOWS in GIT-BASH path names must use UNIX file separator - "/", just run in git-bash "echo $PATH"! Then put the helper into place as in $PATH. Then add and check the helper:

git config --global credential.helper [HELPER_LAST_NAME]
#then check it (password will be printed as plain text!!!):
git credential-[HELPER_LAST_NAME]

GnuPG can be used as password manager in Maven projects instead of Maven's password-encryption method. And so on.

How to convert string to float?

Use atof() or strtof()* instead:

printf("float value : %4.8f\n" ,atof(s)); 
printf("float value : %4.8f\n" ,strtof(s, NULL)); 

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/atof/
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/strtof/

  • atoll() is meant for integers.
  • atof()/strtof() is for floats.

The reason why you only get 4.00 with atoll() is because it stops parsing when it finds the first non-digit.

*Note that strtof() requires C99 or C++11.

Combining two sorted lists in Python

is there a smarter way to do this in Python

This hasn't been mentioned, so I'll go ahead - there is a merge stdlib function in the heapq module of python 2.6+. If all you're looking to do is getting things done, this might be a better idea. Of course, if you want to implement your own, the merge of merge-sort is the way to go.

>>> list1 = [1, 5, 8, 10, 50]
>>> list2 = [3, 4, 29, 41, 45, 49]
>>> from heapq import merge
>>> list(merge(list1, list2))
[1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 29, 41, 45, 49, 50]

How to add Active Directory user group as login in SQL Server

Here is my observation. I created a login (readonly) for a group windows(AD) user account but, its acting defiantly in different SQL servers. In the SQl servers that users can not see the databases I added view definition checked and also gave database execute permeation to the master database for avoiding error 229. I do not have this issue if I create a login for a user.

SET NOCOUNT ON usage

Regarding the triggers breaking NHibernate, I had that experience first-hand. Basically, when NH does an UPDATE it expects certain number of rows affected. By adding SET NOCOUNT ON to the triggers you get the number of rows back to what NH expected thereby fixing the issue. So yeah, I would definitely recommend turning it off for triggers if you use NH.

Regarding the usage in SPs, it's a matter of personal preference. I had always turned the row count off, but then again, there are no real strong arguments either way.

On a different note, you should really consider moving away from SP-based architecture, then you won't even have this question.

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

If you want to finish and just add a resultCode (without data), you can call setResult(int resultCode) before finish().

For example:

...
if (everything_OK) {
    setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK); // OK! (use whatever code you want)
    finish();
}
else {
   setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED); // some error ...
   finish();
}
...

Then in your calling activity, check the resultCode, to see if we're OK.

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == someCustomRequestCode) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            // OK!
        }
        else if (resultCode = Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // something went wrong :-(
        }
    }
}

Don't forget to call the activity with startActivityForResult(intent, someCustomRequestCode).

I would recommend The Data Validation approach where

  • creating a list of your 100 records in a single column,
  • provide a range name to this list,
  • then using Data Validation's List option

Laravel: PDOException: could not find driver

in ubuntu or windows

  • path php.ini

  • php -i enter image description here

  • Remove the ; from ;extension=pdo_mysql or extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll and add extension=pdo_mysql.so

    restart xampp or wampp

  • install sudo apt-get install php-mysql

and

php artisan migrate

Display MessageBox in ASP

Here is one way of doing it:

    <%
       Dim message    
       message = "This is my message"
       Response.Write("<script language=VBScript>MsgBox """ + message + """</script>")

How to Ping External IP from Java Android

Maybe ICMP packets are blocked by your (mobile) provider. If this code doesn't work on the emulator try to sniff via wireshark or any other sniffer and have a look whats up on the wire when you fire the isReachable() method.

You may also find some info in your device log.

JSON to PHP Array using file_get_contents

The JSON sample you provided is not valid. Check it online with this JSON Validator http://jsonlint.com/. You need to remove the extra comma on line 59.

One you have valid json you can use this code to convert it to an array.

json_decode($json, true);

ggplot2 plot without axes, legends, etc

I didn't find this solution here. It removes all of it using the cowplot package:

library(cowplot)

p + theme_nothing() +
theme(legend.position="none") +
scale_x_continuous(expand=c(0,0)) +
scale_y_continuous(expand=c(0,0)) +
labs(x = NULL, y = NULL)

Just noticed that the same thing can be accomplished using theme.void() like this:

p + theme_void() +
theme(legend.position="none") +
scale_x_continuous(expand=c(0,0)) +
scale_y_continuous(expand=c(0,0)) +
labs(x = NULL, y = NULL)

How do I get video durations with YouTube API version 3?

Duration in seconds using Python 2.7 and the YouTube API v3:

    try:

        try:
            minutes = int(dur[2:4]) * 60
        except:
            minutes = 0
        try:
            hours = int(dur[:2]) * 60 * 60
        except:
            hours = 0

        secs = int(dur[5:7])
        print hours, minutes, secs
        video.duration = hours + minutes + secs
        print video.duration
    except Exception as e:
        print "Couldnt extract time: %s" % e
        pass

Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties

I agree with BMSAndroidDroid and Flo-Scheild-Bobby. I was doing a tutorial called DailyQuote and had used the Cordova library. I then changed my OS from Windows to Ubuntu and tried to import projects into Eclipse, (I'm using Eclipse Juno 64-bit, on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, Oracle JDK 7. I also installed the Ubuntu 32-bit libs- so no issues with 64 and 32bit), and got the same issue.

As suggested by Flo-Scheild-Bobby, open configure build path and add the jar(s) again that you added before. Then remove the old jar link(s) and thats it.

How do I generate a list with a specified increment step?

Executing seq(1, 10, 1) does what 1:10 does. You can change the last parameter of seq, i.e. by, to be the step of whatever size you like.

> #a vector of even numbers
> seq(0, 10, by=2) # Explicitly specifying "by" only to increase readability 
> [1]  0  2  4  6  8 10

How can I align all elements to the left in JPanel?

You should use setAlignmentX(..) on components you want to align, not on the container that has them..

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
panel.add(c1);
panel.add(c2);

c1.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
c2.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);

Iterating over JSON object in C#

This worked for me, converts to nested JSON to easy to read YAML

    string JSONDeserialized {get; set;}
    public int indentLevel;

    private bool JSONDictionarytoYAML(Dictionary<string, object> dict)
    {
        bool bSuccess = false;
        indentLevel++;

        foreach (string strKey in dict.Keys)
        {
            string strOutput = "".PadLeft(indentLevel * 3) + strKey + ":";
            JSONDeserialized+="\r\n" + strOutput;

            object o = dict[strKey];
            if (o is Dictionary<string, object>)
            {
                JSONDictionarytoYAML((Dictionary<string, object>)o);
            }
            else if (o is ArrayList)
            {
                foreach (object oChild in ((ArrayList)o))
                {
                    if (oChild is string)
                    {
                        strOutput = ((string)oChild);
                        JSONDeserialized += strOutput + ",";
                    }
                    else if (oChild is Dictionary<string, object>)
                    {
                        JSONDictionarytoYAML((Dictionary<string, object>)oChild);
                        JSONDeserialized += "\r\n";  
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                strOutput = o.ToString();
                JSONDeserialized += strOutput;
            }
        }

        indentLevel--;

        return bSuccess;

    }

usage

        Dictionary<string, object> JSONDic = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();

          try {

            JSONDic = js.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(inString);
            JSONDeserialized = "";

            indentLevel = 0;
            DisplayDictionary(JSONDic);

Update an outdated branch against master in a Git repo

Update the master branch, which you need to do regardless.

Then, one of:

  1. Rebase the old branch against the master branch. Solve the merge conflicts during rebase, and the result will be an up-to-date branch that merges cleanly against master.

  2. Merge your branch into master, and resolve the merge conflicts.

  3. Merge master into your branch, and resolve the merge conflicts. Then, merging from your branch into master should be clean.

None of these is better than the other, they just have different trade-off patterns.

I would use the rebase approach, which gives cleaner overall results to later readers, in my opinion, but that is nothing aside from personal taste.

To rebase and keep the branch you would:

git checkout <branch> && git rebase <target>

In your case, check out the old branch, then

git rebase master 

to get it rebuilt against master.

What happened to Lodash _.pluck?

Use _.map instead of _.pluck. In the latest version the _.pluck has been removed.

efficient way to implement paging

LinqToSql will automatically convert a .Skip(N1).Take(N2) into the TSQL syntax for you. In fact, every "query" you do in Linq, is actually just creating a SQL query for you in the background. To test this, just run SQL Profiler while your application is running.

The skip/take methodology has worked very well for me, and others from what I read.

Out of curiosity, what type of self-paging query do you have, that you believe is more efficient than Linq's skip/take?

How to set a CMake option() at command line

this works for me:

How to combine multiple conditions to subset a data-frame using "OR"?

Just for the sake of completeness, we can use the operators [ and [[:

set.seed(1)
df <- data.frame(v1 = runif(10), v2 = letters[1:10])

Several options

df[df[1] < 0.5 | df[2] == "g", ] 
df[df[[1]] < 0.5 | df[[2]] == "g", ] 
df[df["v1"] < 0.5 | df["v2"] == "g", ]

df$name is equivalent to df[["name", exact = FALSE]]

Using dplyr:

library(dplyr)
filter(df, v1 < 0.5 | v2 == "g")

Using sqldf:

library(sqldf)
sqldf('SELECT *
      FROM df 
      WHERE v1 < 0.5 OR v2 = "g"')

Output for the above options:

          v1 v2
1 0.26550866  a
2 0.37212390  b
3 0.20168193  e
4 0.94467527  g
5 0.06178627  j

SVN checkout the contents of a folder, not the folder itself

Provide the directory on the command line:

svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk public_html

Git pull after forced update

This won't fix branches that already have the code you don't want in them (see below for how to do that), but if they had pulled some-branch and now want it to be clean (and not "ahead" of origin/some-branch) then you simply:

git checkout some-branch   # where some-branch can be replaced by any other branch
git branch base-branch -D  # where base-branch is the one with the squashed commits
git checkout -b base-branch origin/base-branch  # recreating branch with correct commits

Note: You can combine these all by putting && between them

Note2: Florian mentioned this in a comment, but who reads comments when looking for answers?

Note3: If you have contaminated branches, you can create new ones based off the new "dumb branch" and just cherry-pick commits over.

Ex:

git checkout feature-old  # some branch with the extra commits
git log                   # gives commits (write down the id of the ones you want)
git checkout base-branch  # after you have already cleaned your local copy of it as above
git checkout -b feature-new # make a new branch for your feature
git cherry-pick asdfasd   # where asdfasd is one of the commit ids you want
# repeat previous step for each commit id
git branch feature-old -D # delete the old branch

Now feature-new is your branch without the extra (possibly bad) commits!

Using setattr() in python

The Python docs say all that needs to be said, as far as I can see.

setattr(object, name, value)

This is the counterpart of getattr(). The arguments are an object, a string and an arbitrary value. The string may name an existing attribute or a new attribute. The function assigns the value to the attribute, provided the object allows it. For example, setattr(x, 'foobar', 123) is equivalent to x.foobar = 123.

If this isn't enough, explain what you don't understand.

How do I link object files in C? Fails with "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64"

Since there's no mention of how to compile a .c file together with a bunch of .o files, and this comment asks for it:

where's the main.c in this answer? :/ if file1.c is the main, how do you link it with other already compiled .o files? – Tom Brito Oct 12 '14 at 19:45

$ gcc main.c lib_obj1.o lib_obj2.o lib_objN.o -o x0rbin

Here, main.c is the C file with the main() function and the object files (*.o) are precompiled. GCC knows how to handle these together, and invokes the linker accordingly and results in a final executable, which in our case is x0rbin.

You will be able to use functions not defined in the main.c but using an extern reference to functions defined in the object files (*.o).

You can also link with .obj or other extensions if the object files have the correct format (such as COFF).

How do I make a LinearLayout scrollable?

You can implement it using View.scrollTo(..) also.

postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {

                counter = (int) (counter + 10);
                handler.postDelayed(this, 100);

                    llParent.scrollTo(counter , 0);
                }

            }
        }, 1000L);

HTML display result in text (input) field?

 <HTML>
      <HEAD>
        <TITLE>Sum</TITLE>

        <script type="text/javascript">
          function sum()
          {

             var num1 = document.myform.number1.value;
             var num2 = document.myform.number2.value;
             var sum = parseInt(num1) + parseInt(num2);
             document.getElementById('add').value = sum;
          }
        </script>
      </HEAD>

      <BODY>
        <FORM NAME="myform">
          <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="number1" VALUE=""/> + 
          <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="number2" VALUE=""/>
          <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="=" onClick="sum()"/>
          <INPUT TYPE="text" ID="add" NAME="result" VALUE=""/>
        </FORM>

      </BODY>
</HTML>

This should work properly. 1. use .value instead of "innerHTML" when setting the 3rd field (input field) 2. Close the input tags

How to set Sqlite3 to be case insensitive when string comparing?

You can use COLLATE NOCASE in your SELECT query:

SELECT * FROM ... WHERE name = 'someone' COLLATE NOCASE

Additionaly, in SQLite, you can indicate that a column should be case insensitive when you create the table by specifying collate nocase in the column definition (the other options are binary (the default) and rtrim; see here). You can specify collate nocase when you create an index as well. For example:

create table Test
(
  Text_Value  text collate nocase
);

insert into Test values ('A');
insert into Test values ('b');
insert into Test values ('C');

create index Test_Text_Value_Index
  on Test (Text_Value collate nocase);

Expressions involving Test.Text_Value should now be case insensitive. For example:

sqlite> select Text_Value from Test where Text_Value = 'B';
Text_Value      
----------------
b               

sqlite> select Text_Value from Test order by Text_Value;
Text_Value      
----------------
A               
b               
C    

sqlite> select Text_Value from Test order by Text_Value desc;
Text_Value      
----------------
C               
b               
A               

The optimiser can also potentially make use of the index for case-insensitive searching and matching on the column. You can check this using the explain SQL command, e.g.:

sqlite> explain select Text_Value from Test where Text_Value = 'b';
addr              opcode          p1          p2          p3                               
----------------  --------------  ----------  ----------  ---------------------------------

How to call JavaScript function instead of href in HTML

That syntax should work OK, but you can try this alternative.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="ShowOld(2367,146986,2);">

or

<a href="javascript:ShowOld(2367, 146986, 2);">

UPDATED ANSWER FOR STRING VALUES

If you are passing strings, use single quotes for your function's parameters

<a href="javascript:ShowOld('foo', 146986, 'bar');">

Array[n] vs Array[10] - Initializing array with variable vs real number

In C++, variable length arrays are not legal. G++ allows this as an "extension" (because C allows it), so in G++ (without being -pedantic about following the C++ standard), you can do:

int n = 10;
double a[n]; // Legal in g++ (with extensions), illegal in proper C++

If you want a "variable length array" (better called a "dynamically sized array" in C++, since proper variable length arrays aren't allowed), you either have to dynamically allocate memory yourself:

int n = 10;
double* a = new double[n]; // Don't forget to delete [] a; when you're done!

Or, better yet, use a standard container:

int n = 10;
std::vector<double> a(n); // Don't forget to #include <vector>

If you still want a proper array, you can use a constant, not a variable, when creating it:

const int n = 10;
double a[n]; // now valid, since n isn't a variable (it's a compile time constant)

Similarly, if you want to get the size from a function in C++11, you can use a constexpr:

constexpr int n()
{
    return 10;
}

double a[n()]; // n() is a compile time constant expression

Pandas read_csv from url

The problem you're having is that the output you get into the variable 's' is not a csv, but a html file. In order to get the raw csv, you have to modify the url to:

'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cs109/2014_data/master/countries.csv'

Your second problem is that read_csv expects a file name, we can solve this by using StringIO from io module. Third problem is that request.get(url).content delivers a byte stream, we can solve this using the request.get(url).text instead.

End result is this code:

from io import StringIO

import pandas as pd
import requests
url='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cs109/2014_data/master/countries.csv'
s=requests.get(url).text

c=pd.read_csv(StringIO(s))

output:

>>> c.head()
    Country  Region
0   Algeria  AFRICA
1    Angola  AFRICA
2     Benin  AFRICA
3  Botswana  AFRICA
4   Burkina  AFRICA

OnClick in Excel VBA

Clearly, there is no perfect answer. However, if you want to allow the user to

  1. select certain cells
  2. allow them to change those cells, and
  3. trap each click,even repeated clicks on the same cell,

then the easiest way seems to be to move the focus off the selected cell, so that clicking it will trigger a Select event.

One option is to move the focus as I suggested above, but this prevents cell editing. Another option is to extend the selection by one cell (left/right/up/down),because this permits editing of the original cell, but will trigger a Select event if that cell is clicked again on its own.

If you only wanted to trap selection of a single column of cells, you could insert a hidden column to the right, extend the selection to include the hidden cell to the right when the user clicked,and this gives you an editable cell which can be trapped every time it is clicked. The code is as follows

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  'prevent Select event triggering again when we extend the selection below
  Application.EnableEvents = False
  Target.Resize(1, 2).Select
  Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

How do I open a second window from the first window in WPF?

You will need to create an instance of a new window like so.

var window2 = new Window2();

Once you have the instance you can use the Show() or ShowDialog() method depending on what you want to do.

window2.Show();

or

var result = window2.ShowDialog();

ShowDialog() will return a Nullable<bool> if you need that.

Display UIViewController as Popup in iPhone

Imao put UIImageView on background is not the best idea . In my case i added on controller view other 2 views . First view has [UIColor clearColor] on background, second - color which u want to be transparent (grey in my case).Note that order is important.Then for second view set alpha 0.5(alpha >=0 <=1).Added this to lines in prepareForSegue

infoVC.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = YES;
infoVC.definesPresentationContext = YES;

And thats all.

initialize a const array in a class initializer in C++

interestingly, in C# you have the keyword const that translates to C++'s static const, as opposed to readonly which can be only set at constructors and initializations, even by non-constants, ex:

readonly DateTime a = DateTime.Now;

I agree, if you have a const pre-defined array you might as well make it static. At that point you can use this interesting syntax:

//in header file
class a{
    static const int SIZE;
    static const char array[][10];
};
//in cpp file:
const int a::SIZE = 5;
const char array[SIZE][10] = {"hello", "cruel","world","goodbye", "!"};

however, I did not find a way around the constant '10'. The reason is clear though, it needs it to know how to perform accessing to the array. A possible alternative is to use #define, but I dislike that method and I #undef at the end of the header, with a comment to edit there at CPP as well in case if a change.

How to set default value for form field in Symfony2?

If you need to set default value and your form relates to the entity, then you should use following approach:

// buildForm() method
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
    $builder
    ...
    ->add(
        'myField',
        'text',
        array(
            'data' => isset($options['data']) ? $options['data']->getMyField() : 'my default value'
        )
    );
}

Otherwise, myField always will be set to default value, instead of getting value from entity.

Redirect pages in JSP?

Extending @oopbase's answer with return; statement.

Let's consider a use case of traditional authentication system where we store login information into the session. On each page we check for active session like,

/* Some Import Statements here. */

if(null == session || !session.getAttribute("is_login").equals("1")) {
    response.sendRedirect("http://domain.com/login");
}

// ....

session.getAttribute("user_id");

// ....
/* Some More JSP+Java+HTML code here */

It looks fine at first glance however; It has one issue. If your server has expired session due to time limit and user is trying to access the page he might get error if you have not written your code in try..catch block or handled if(null != session.getAttribute("attr_name")) everytime.

So by putting a return; statement I stopped further execution and forced to redirect page to certain location.

if(null == session || !session.getAttribute("is_login").equals("1")) {
    response.sendRedirect("http://domain.com/login");
    return;
}

Note that Use of redirection may vary based on the requirements. Nowadays people don't use such authentication system. (Modern approach - Token Based Authentication) It's just an simple example to understand where and how to place redirection(s).

Position one element relative to another in CSS

position: absolute will position the element by coordinates, relative to the closest positioned ancestor, i.e. the closest parent which isn't position: static.

Have your four divs nested inside the target div, give the target div position: relative, and use position: absolute on the others.

Structure your HTML similar to this:

<div id="container">
  <div class="top left"></div>
  <div class="top right"></div>
  <div class="bottom left"></div>
  <div class="bottom right"></div>
</div>

And this CSS should work:

#container {
  position: relative;
}

#container > * {
  position: absolute;
}

.left {
  left: 0;
}

.right {
  right: 0;
}

.top {
  top: 0;
}

.bottom {
  bottom: 0;
}

...

What are the differences between LDAP and Active Directory?

Active directory is a directory service provider, where you can add new user to a directory, remove or modify, specify privilages, assign policy etc. Its just like a phone directory where every person have a unique contact number. Every thing in AD(Active Directory) are considered as Objects and every object is given a Unique ID.(similar to a unique contact number in a phone directory.

Ldap is a protocol specially designed for directory service providers. Windows server OS uses AD as a directory server, AIX which is a UNIX version by IBM uses Tivoli directory server. Both of them uses LDAP protocol for interacting with directory.

Apart from protocol there are LDAP servers, LDAP browsers too.

A top-like utility for monitoring CUDA activity on a GPU

There is Prometheus GPU Metrics Exporter (PGME) that leverages the nvidai-smi binary. You may try this out. Once you have the exporter running, you can access it via http://localhost:9101/metrics. For two GPUs, the sample result looks like this:

temperature_gpu{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[0]"} 41
utilization_gpu{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[0]"} 0
utilization_memory{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[0]"} 0
memory_total{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[0]"} 12189
memory_free{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[0]"} 12189
memory_used{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[0]"} 0
temperature_gpu{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[1]"} 78
utilization_gpu{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[1]"} 95
utilization_memory{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[1]"} 59
memory_total{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[1]"} 12189
memory_free{gpu="TITAN X (Pascal)[1]"} 1738

How do I pass multiple parameters into a function in PowerShell?

There are some good answers here, but I wanted to point out a couple of other things. Function parameters are actually a place where PowerShell shines. For example, you can have either named or positional parameters in advanced functions like so:

function Get-Something
{
    Param
    (
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)]
         [string] $Name,
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)]
         [int] $Id
    )
}

Then you could either call it by specifying the parameter name, or you could just use positional parameters, since you explicitly defined them. So either of these would work:

Get-Something -Id 34 -Name "Blah"
Get-Something "Blah" 34

The first example works even though Name is provided second, because we explicitly used the parameter name. The second example works based on position though, so Name would need to be first. When possible, I always try to define positions so both options are available.

PowerShell also has the ability to define parameter sets. It uses this in place of method overloading, and again is quite useful:

function Get-Something
{
    [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName='Name')]
    Param
    (
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0, ParameterSetName='Name')]
         [string] $Name,
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0, ParameterSetName='Id')]
         [int] $Id
    )
}

Now the function will either take a name, or an id, but not both. You can use them positionally, or by name. Since they are a different type, PowerShell will figure it out. So all of these would work:

Get-Something "some name"
Get-Something 23
Get-Something -Name "some name"
Get-Something -Id 23

You can also assign additional parameters to the various parameter sets. (That was a pretty basic example obviously.) Inside of the function, you can determine which parameter set was used with the $PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName property. For example:

if($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName -eq "Name")
{
    Write-Host "Doing something with name here"
}

Then, on a related side note, there is also parameter validation in PowerShell. This is one of my favorite PowerShell features, and it makes the code inside your functions very clean. There are numerous validations you can use. A couple of examples are:

function Get-Something
{
    Param
    (
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)]
         [ValidatePattern('^Some.*')]
         [string] $Name,
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)]
         [ValidateRange(10,100)]
         [int] $Id
    )
}

In the first example, ValidatePattern accepts a regular expression that assures the supplied parameter matches what you're expecting. If it doesn't, an intuitive exception is thrown, telling you exactly what is wrong. So in that example, 'Something' would work fine, but 'Summer' wouldn't pass validation.

ValidateRange ensures that the parameter value is in between the range you expect for an integer. So 10 or 99 would work, but 101 would throw an exception.

Another useful one is ValidateSet, which allows you to explicitly define an array of acceptable values. If something else is entered, an exception will be thrown. There are others as well, but probably the most useful one is ValidateScript. This takes a script block that must evaluate to $true, so the sky is the limit. For example:

function Get-Something
{
    Param
    (
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)]
         [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $_ -PathType 'Leaf' })]
         [ValidateScript({ (Get-Item $_ | select -Expand Extension) -eq ".csv" })]
         [string] $Path
    )
}

In this example, we are assured not only that $Path exists, but that it is a file, (as opposed to a directory) and has a .csv extension. ($_ refers to the parameter, when inside your scriptblock.) You can also pass in much larger, multi-line script blocks if that level is required, or use multiple scriptblocks like I did here. It's extremely useful and makes for nice clean functions and intuitive exceptions.

Javascript how to parse JSON array

document.write(contact.surname + ", " + contact.firstname);  
document.write(contact.phone[1]);  
// Output:  
// Aaberg, Jesper  
// 555-0100

How do I list the symbols in a .so file

You can use the nm -g tool from the binutils toolchain. However, their source is not always readily available. and I'm not actually even sure that this information can always be retrieved. Perhaps objcopy reveals further information.

/EDIT: The tool's name is of course nm. The flag -g is used to show only exported symbols.

VBA Object doesn't support this property or method

Object doesn't support this property or method.

Think of it like if anything after the dot is called on an object. It's like a chain.

An object is a class instance. A class instance supports some properties defined in that class type definition. It exposes whatever intelli-sense in VBE tells you (there are some hidden members but it's not related to this). So after each dot . you get intelli-sense (that white dropdown) trying to help you pick the correct action.

(you can start either way - front to back or back to front, once you understand how this works you'll be able to identify where the problem occurs)

Type this much anywhere in your code area

Dim a As Worksheets
a.

you get help from VBE, it's a little dropdown called Intelli-sense

enter image description here

It lists all available actions that particular object exposes to any user. You can't see the .Selection member of the Worksheets() class. That's what the error tells you exactly.

Object doesn't support this property or method.

If you look at the example on MSDN

Worksheets("GRA").Activate
iAreaCount = Selection.Areas.Count

It activates the sheet first then calls the Selection... it's not connected together because Selection is not a member of Worksheets() class. Simply, you can't prefix the Selection

What about

Sub DisplayColumnCount()
    Dim iAreaCount As Integer
    Dim i As Integer

    Worksheets("GRA").Activate
    iAreaCount = Selection.Areas.Count

    If iAreaCount <= 1 Then
        MsgBox "The selection contains " & Selection.Columns.Count & " columns."
    Else
        For i = 1 To iAreaCount
        MsgBox "Area " & i & " of the selection contains " & _
        Selection.Areas(i).Columns.Count & " columns."
        Next i
    End If
End Sub

What is getattr() exactly and how do I use it?

I think this example is self explanatory. It runs the method of first parameter, whose name is given in the second parameter.

class MyClass:
   def __init__(self):
      pass
   def MyMethod(self):
      print("Method ran")

# Create an object
object = MyClass()
# Get all the methods of a class
method_list = [func for func in dir(MyClass) if callable(getattr(MyClass, func))]
# You can use any of the methods in method_list
# "MyMethod" is the one we want to use right now

# This is the same as running "object.MyMethod()"
getattr(object,'MyMethod')()

Checking if an input field is required using jQuery

The below code works fine but I am not sure about the radio button and dropdown list

$( '#form_id' ).submit( function( event ) {
    event.preventDefault();

    //validate fields
    var fail = false;
    var fail_log = '';
    var name;
    $( '#form_id' ).find( 'select, textarea, input' ).each(function(){
        if( ! $( this ).prop( 'required' )){

        } else {
            if ( ! $( this ).val() ) {
                fail = true;
                name = $( this ).attr( 'name' );
                fail_log += name + " is required \n";
            }

        }
    });

    //submit if fail never got set to true
    if ( ! fail ) {
        //process form here.
    } else {
        alert( fail_log );
    }

});

There is already an object named in the database

I faced the same bug as below. Then I fixed it as below:

  1. Check current databases in your project:
    • dotnet ef migrations list
  2. If the newest is what you've added, then remove it:
    • dotnet ef migrations remove
  3. Guarantee outputs of this database must be deteled in source code: .cs/.Designer.cs files

4.Now it is fine. Try to re-add: dotnet ef migrations add [new_dbo_name]

5.Finally, try to update again, in arrangement base on migration list:

  • dotnet ef database update [First]
  • dotnet ef database update [Second]
  • ...
  • dotnet ef database update [new_dbo_name]

Hope it is helpful for you. ^^

Could not find or load main class

I was having a similar issue with my very first java program.

I was issuing this command

java HelloWorld.class

Which resulted in the same error.

Turns out you need to exclude the .class

Pass row number as variable in excel sheet

Assuming your row number is in B1, you can use INDIRECT:

=INDIRECT("A" & B1)

This takes a cell reference as a string (in this case, the concatenation of A and the value of B1 - 5), and returns the value at that cell.

turn typescript object into json string

TS gets compiled to JS which then executed. Therefore you have access to all of the objects in the JS runtime. One of those objects is the JSON object. This contains the following methods:

  • JSON.parse() method parses a JSON string, constructing the JavaScript value or object described by the string.
  • JSON.stringify() method converts a JavaScript object or value to a JSON string.

Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const jsonString = '{"employee":{ "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York" }}';_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
const JSobj = JSON.parse(jsonString);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(JSobj);_x000D_
console.log(typeof JSobj);_x000D_
_x000D_
const JSON_string = JSON.stringify(JSobj);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(JSON_string);_x000D_
console.log(typeof JSON_string);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
