Programs & Examples On #Nsmutablearray

NSMutableArray represents a modifiable (mutable) array object for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. It is Available in OS X v10.0 and later

How do I sort an NSMutableArray with custom objects in it?

Use like this for nested objects,

NSSortDescriptor * sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"lastRoute.to.lastname" ascending:YES selector:@selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)];
NSMutableArray *sortedPackages = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:[packages sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]]];

lastRoute is one object and that object holds the to object, that to object hold the lastname string values.

'Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 0

In my case issue was that numberOfRowsInSection was returning similar number of rows after calling tableView.deleteRows(...).

Since this was the required behaviour in my case, I ended up calling tableView.reloadData() instead of tableView.deleteRows(...) in cases where numberOfRowsInSection will remain same after deleting a row.

How do I convert NSMutableArray to NSArray?

i was search for the answer in swift 3 and this question was showed as first result in search and i get inspired the answer from it so here is the swift 3 code

let array: [String] = nsMutableArrayObject.copy() as! [String]

The best way to remove duplicate values from NSMutableArray in Objective-C?

Yes, using NSSet is a sensible approach.

To add to Jim Puls' answer, here's an alternative approach to stripping duplicates while retaining order:

// Initialise a new, empty mutable array 
NSMutableArray *unique = [NSMutableArray array];

for (id obj in originalArray) {
    if (![unique containsObject:obj]) {
        [unique addObject:obj];
    }
}

It's essentially the same approach as Jim's but copies unique items to a fresh mutable array rather than deleting duplicates from the original. This makes it slightly more memory efficient in the case of a large array with lots of duplicates (no need to make a copy of the entire array), and is in my opinion a little more readable.

Note that in either case, checking to see if an item is already included in the target array (using containsObject: in my example, or indexOfObject:inRange: in Jim's) doesn't scale well for large arrays. Those checks run in O(N) time, meaning that if you double the size of the original array then each check will take twice as long to run. Since you're doing the check for each object in the array, you'll also be running more of those more expensive checks. The overall algorithm (both mine and Jim's) runs in O(N2) time, which gets expensive quickly as the original array grows.

To get that down to O(N) time you could use a NSMutableSet to store a record of items already added to the new array, since NSSet lookups are O(1) rather than O(N). In other words, checking to see whether an element is a member of an NSSet takes the same time regardless of how many elements are in the set.

Code using this approach would look something like this:

NSMutableArray *unique = [NSMutableArray array];
NSMutableSet *seen = [NSMutableSet set];

for (id obj in originalArray) {
    if (![seen containsObject:obj]) {
        [unique addObject:obj];
        [seen addObject:obj];
    }
}

This still seems a little wasteful though; we're still generating a new array when the question made clear that the original array is mutable, so we should be able to de-dupe it in place and save some memory. Something like this:

NSMutableSet *seen = [NSMutableSet set];
NSUInteger i = 0;

while (i < [originalArray count]) {
    id obj = [originalArray objectAtIndex:i];

    if ([seen containsObject:obj]) {
        [originalArray removeObjectAtIndex:i];
        // NB: we *don't* increment i here; since
        // we've removed the object previously at
        // index i, [originalArray objectAtIndex:i]
        // now points to the next object in the array.
    } else {
        [seen addObject:obj];
        i++;
    }
}

UPDATE: Yuri Niyazov pointed out that my last answer actually runs in O(N2) because removeObjectAtIndex: probably runs in O(N) time.

(He says "probably" because we don't know for sure how it's implemented; but one possible implementation is that after deleting the object at index X the method then loops through every element from index X+1 to the last object in the array, moving them to the previous index. If that's the case then that is indeed O(N) performance.)

So, what to do? It depends on the situation. If you've got a large array and you're only expecting a small number of duplicates then the in-place de-duplication will work just fine and save you having to build up a duplicate array. If you've got an array where you're expecting lots of duplicates then building up a separate, de-duped array is probably the best approach. The take-away here is that big-O notation only describes the characteristics of an algorithm, it won't tell you definitively which is best for any given circumstance.

How to determine if a type implements an interface with C# reflection

Note that if you have a generic interface IMyInterface<T> then this will always return false:

  typeof(IMyInterface<>).IsAssignableFrom(typeof(MyType)) /* ALWAYS FALSE */

This doesn't work either:

  typeof(MyType).GetInterfaces().Contains(typeof(IMyInterface<>))  /* ALWAYS FALSE */

However, if MyType implements IMyInterface<MyType> this works and returns true:

  typeof(IMyInterface<MyType>).IsAssignableFrom(typeof(MyType))

However, you likely will not know the type parameter T at runtime. A somewhat hacky solution is:

  typeof(MyType).GetInterfaces()
                .Any(x=>x.Name == typeof(IMyInterface<>).Name)

Jeff's solution is a bit less hacky:

  typeof(MyType).GetInterfaces()
         .Any(i => i.IsGenericType 
             && i.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(IMyInterface<>));

Here's a extension method on Type that works for any case:

public static class TypeExtensions
{
    public static bool IsImplementing(this Type type, Type someInterface)
    {
        return type.GetInterfaces()
             .Any(i => i == someInterface 
                 || i.IsGenericType 
                    && i.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == someInterface);
    }
}

(Note that the above uses linq, which is probably slower than a loop.)

You can then do:

   typeof(MyType).IsImplementing(IMyInterface<>)

PHP: How to get referrer URL?

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

But if you run a file (that contains the above code) by directly hitting the URL in the browser then you get the following error.

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER

Parse JSON in C#

[Update]
I've just realized why you weren't receiving results back... you have a missing line in your Deserialize method. You were forgetting to assign the results to your obj :

public static T Deserialize<T>(string json)
{
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json)))
    {
        DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
        return (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms);
    } 
}

Also, just for reference, here is the Serialize method :

public static string Serialize<T>(T obj)
{
    DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        serializer.WriteObject(ms, obj);
        return Encoding.Default.GetString(ms.ToArray());
    }
}

Edit

If you want to use Json.NET here are the equivalent Serialize/Deserialize methods to the code above..

Deserialize:

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(string json);

Serialize:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(object o);

This are already part of Json.NET so you can just call them on the JsonConvert class.

Now, the reason you're getting a StackOverflow is because of your Properties.

Take for example this one :

[DataMember]
public string unescapedUrl
{
    get { return unescapedUrl; } // <= this line is causing a Stack Overflow
    set { this.unescapedUrl = value; }
}

Notice that in the getter, you are returning the actual property (ie the property's getter is calling itself over and over again), and thus you are creating an infinite recursion.


Properties (in 2.0) should be defined like such :

string _unescapedUrl; // <= private field

[DataMember]
public string unescapedUrl
{
    get { return _unescapedUrl; } 
    set { _unescapedUrl = value; }
}

You have a private field and then you return the value of that field in the getter, and set the value of that field in the setter.


Btw, if you're using the 3.5 Framework, you can just do this and avoid the backing fields, and let the compiler take care of that :

public string unescapedUrl { get; set;}

How to make this Header/Content/Footer layout using CSS?

Try this

CSS

.header{
    height:30px;
}
.Content{
    height: 100%; 
    overflow: auto;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
}
.Footer{

    <div class="Header">Header</div>
    <div class="Content">Content</div>
    <div class="Footer">Footer</div>
  </body>

How can I see normal print output created during pytest run?

According to pytest documentation, version 3 of pytest can temporary disable capture in a test:

def test_disabling_capturing(capsys):
    print('this output is captured')
    with capsys.disabled():
        print('output not captured, going directly to sys.stdout')
    print('this output is also captured')

Error during installing HAXM, VT-X not working

If you are still having issues, try running these steps from VMware to disable credential guard. Worked for me, finally. Steps and link are posted below, not taking credit for them.

Original content from https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2146361

To disable Device Guard or Credential Guard on Itanium based computers:

  1. Disable the group policy setting that was used to enable Credential Guard.

    On the host operating system, click Start > Run, type gpedit.msc, and click Ok. The Local group Policy Editor opens.

    Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard > Turn on Virtualization Based Security.

    Select Disabled.

  2. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off to turn off Hyper-V. [ remove a program on Windows 8 or earlier]

  3. Select Do not restart.

  4. Delete the related EFI variables by launching a command prompt on the host machine using an Administrator account and run these commands:

    enter code here

    mountvol X: /s

    copy %WINDIR%\System32\SecConfig.efi X:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi /Y

    bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d "DebugTool" /application osloader

    bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} path "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi"

    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootsequence {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215}

    bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} loadoptions DISABLE-LSA-ISO,DISABLE-VBS

    bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} device partition=X:

    mountvol X: /d

Note: Ensure X is an unused drive, else change to another drive.

  1. Restart the host.

  2. Accept the prompt on the boot screen to disable Device Guard or Credential Guard.

You should be able to install and start HAXM now

importing a CSV into phpmyadmin

In phpMyAdmin, click the table, and then click the Import tab at the top of the page.

Browse and open the csv file. Leave the charset as-is. Uncheck partial import unless you have a HUGE dataset (or slow server). The format should already have selected “CSV” after selecting your file, if not then select it (not using LOAD DATA). If you want to clear the whole table before importing, check “Replace table data with file”. Optionally check “Ignore duplicate rows” if you think you have duplicates in the CSV file. Now the important part, set the next four fields to these values:

Fields terminated by: ,
Fields enclosed by: “
Fields escaped by: \
Lines terminated by: auto

Currently these match the defaults except for “Fields terminated by”, which defaults to a semicolon.

Now click the Go button, and it should run successfully.

C-like structures in Python

Here is a solution which uses a class (never instantiated) to hold data. I like that this way involves very little typing and does not require any additional packages etc.

class myStruct:
    field1 = "one"
    field2 = "2"

You can add more fields later, as needed:

myStruct.field3 = 3

To get the values, the fields are accessed as usual:

>>> myStruct.field1
'one'

What command shows all of the topics and offsets of partitions in Kafka?

You might want to try kt. It's also quite faster than the bundled kafka-topics.

This is the current most complete info description you can get out of a topic with kt:

kt topic -brokers localhost:9092 -filter my_topic_name -partitions -leaders -replicas

It also outputs as JSON, so you can pipe it to jq for further flexibility.

HTML5 Form Input Pattern Currency Format

The best we could come up with is this:

^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$

I realize it might seem too much, but as far as I can test it matches anything that a human eye would accept as valid currency value and weeds out everything else.

It matches these:

1 => true
1.00 => true
$1 => true
$1000 => true
0.1 => true
1,000.00 => true
$1,000,000 => true
5678 => true

And weeds out these:

1.001 => false
02.0 => false
22,42 => false
001 => false
192.168.1.2 => false
, => false
.55 => false
2000,000 => false

How to remove space from string?

You can also use echo to remove blank spaces, either at the beginning or at the end of the string, but also repeating spaces inside the string.

$ myVar="    kokor    iiij     ook      "
$ echo "$myVar"
    kokor    iiij     ook      
$ myVar=`echo $myVar`
$
$ # myVar is not set to "kokor iiij ook"
$ echo "$myVar"
kokor iiij ook

How to customize the back button on ActionBar

The "up" affordance indicator is provided by a drawable specified in the homeAsUpIndicator attribute of the theme. To override it with your own custom version it would be something like this:

<style name="Theme.MyFancyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo">
    <item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/my_fancy_up_indicator</item>
</style>

If you are supporting pre-3.0 with your application be sure you put this version of the custom theme in values-v11 or similar.

JPA: How to get entity based on field value other than ID?

No, you don't need to make criteria query it would be boilerplate code you just do simple thing if you working in Spring-boot: in your repo declare a method name with findBy[exact field name]. Example- if your model or document consist a string field myField and you want to find by it then your method name will be:

findBymyField(String myField);

Binding value to style

As of now (Jan 2017 / Angular > 2.0) you can use the following:

changeBackground(): any {
    return { 'background-color': this.color };
}

and

<div class="circle" [ngStyle]="changeBackground()">
    <!-- <content></content> --> <!-- content is now deprecated -->
    <ng-content><ng-content> <!-- Use ng-content instead -->
</div>

The shortest way is probably like this:

<div class="circle" [ngStyle]="{ 'background-color': color }">
    <!-- <content></content> --> <!-- content is now deprecated -->
    <ng-content><ng-content> <!-- Use ng-content instead -->
</div>

How to select date from datetime column?

Though all the answers on the page will return the desired result, they all have performance issues. Never perform calculations on fields in the WHERE clause (including a DATE() calculation) as that calculation must be performed on all rows in the table.

The BETWEEN ... AND construct is inclusive for both border conditions, requiring one to specify the 23:59:59 syntax on the end date which itself has other issues (microsecond transactions, which I believe MySQL did not support in 2009 when the question was asked).

The proper way to query a MySQL timestamp field for a particular day is to check for Greater-Than-Equals against the desired date, and Less-Than for the day after, with no hour specified.

WHERE datetime>='2009-10-20' AND datetime<'2009-10-21'

This is the fastest-performing, lowest-memory, least-resource intensive method, and additionally supports all MySQL features and corner-cases such as sub-second timestamp precision. Additionally, it is future proof.

How to position a div in the middle of the screen when the page is bigger than the screen

Two ways to position a tag in the middle of screen or its parent tag:

Using positions:

Set the parent tag position to relative (if the target tag has a parent tag) and then set the target tag style like this:

#center {
  ...  
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Using flex:

The parent tag style should looks like this:

#parent-tag {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

Python 2,3 Convert Integer to "bytes" Cleanly

Answer 1:

To convert a string to a sequence of bytes in either Python 2 or Python 3, you use the string's encode method. If you don't supply an encoding parameter 'ascii' is used, which will always be good enough for numeric digits.

s = str(n).encode()

In Python 2 str(n) already produces bytes; the encode will do a double conversion as this string is implicitly converted to Unicode and back again to bytes. It's unnecessary work, but it's harmless and is completely compatible with Python 3.


Answer 2:

Above is the answer to the question that was actually asked, which was to produce a string of ASCII bytes in human-readable form. But since people keep coming here trying to get the answer to a different question, I'll answer that question too. If you want to convert 10 to b'10' use the answer above, but if you want to convert 10 to b'\x0a\x00\x00\x00' then keep reading.

The struct module was specifically provided for converting between various types and their binary representation as a sequence of bytes. The conversion from a type to bytes is done with struct.pack. There's a format parameter fmt that determines which conversion it should perform. For a 4-byte integer, that would be i for signed numbers or I for unsigned numbers. For more possibilities see the format character table, and see the byte order, size, and alignment table for options when the output is more than a single byte.

import struct
s = struct.pack('<i', 5) # b'\x05\x00\x00\x00'

How to resolve this System.IO.FileNotFoundException

I came across a similar situation after publishing a ClickOnce application, and one of my colleagues on a different domain reported that it fails to launch.

To find out what was going on, I added a try catch statement inside the MainWindow method as @BradleyDotNET mentioned in one comment on the original post, and then published again.

public MainWindow()
{
    try
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    catch (Exception exc)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(exc.ToString());
    }
}

Then my colleague reported to me the exception detail, and it was a missing reference of a third party framework dll file.

Added the reference and problem solved.

Handling identity columns in an "Insert Into TABLE Values()" statement?

You have 2 choices:

1) Either specify the column name list (without the identity column).

2) SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON, followed by insert statements that provide explicit values for the identity column, followed by SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename OFF.

If you are avoiding a column name list, perhaps this 'trick' might help?:

-- Get a comma separated list of a table's column names
SELECT STUFF(
(SELECT 
',' + COLUMN_NAME AS [text()]
FROM 
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE 
TABLE_NAME = 'TableName'
Order By Ordinal_position
FOR XML PATH('')
), 1,1, '')

Cordova : Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8 or greater

The error occurs when the default path to java is set to a version other than Java 8 or JDK 1.8.*

For my case, I have installed Java 11 after installing Java 8

You can test by running:

java -version

For my case it returned:

java version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.8+10-LTS)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.8+10-LTS, mixed mode)

To fix this, we need to ensure the java path is pointed to Java 8 binaries instead

Assuming you already have Java 8 or JDK 1.8.* installed:

  1. Make sure JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME is set (make sure it points to Java 1.8.*)

Env variable

  1. Inside PATH, Make sure %JAVA_HOME%\bin or C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251\bin is added

enter image description here

  1. Source of the problem: My JDK 11 installation added two PATH entries right at the top, taking precedence or overriding the %JAVA_HOME%\bin PATH that points to JDK 1.8.*

Do not add these if you don't have them, find other PATH entries that may override %JAVA_HOME%\bin

enter image description here

  1. Click "Move Down" for the overriding entries until they are below %JAVA_HOME%\bin

%JAVA_HOME%\bin PATH that points to Java 8 will now be prioritized over the other PATH entries that points to JDK 11

enter image description here

  1. Save, and open a new terminal and run
java -version

For my case it then returned:

java version "1.8.0_251"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_251-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.251-b08, mixed mode)

Fixed!

Convert UTC/GMT time to local time

In answer to Dana's suggestion:

The code sample now looks like:

string date = "Web service date"..ToString("R", ci);
DateTime convertedDate = DateTime.Parse(date);            
DateTime dt = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(convertedDate);

The original date was 20/08/08; the kind was UTC.

Both "convertedDate" and "dt" are the same:

21/08/08 10:00:26; the kind was local

How to write DataFrame to postgres table?

Starting from pandas 0.14 (released end of May 2014), postgresql is supported. The sql module now uses sqlalchemy to support different database flavors. You can pass a sqlalchemy engine for a postgresql database (see docs). E.g.:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine('postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/mydatabase')
df.to_sql('table_name', engine)

You are correct that in pandas up to version 0.13.1 postgresql was not supported. If you need to use an older version of pandas, here is a patched version of pandas.io.sql: https://gist.github.com/jorisvandenbossche/10841234.
I wrote this a time ago, so cannot fully guarantee that it always works, buth the basis should be there). If you put that file in your working directory and import it, then you should be able to do (where con is a postgresql connection):

import sql  # the patched version (file is named sql.py)
sql.write_frame(df, 'table_name', con, flavor='postgresql')

How do I use checkboxes in an IF-THEN statement in Excel VBA 2010?

It seems that in VBA macro code for an ActiveX checkbox control you use

If (ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("CheckBox1").Object.Value = True)

and for a Form checkbox control you use

If (ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox1").OLEFormat.Object.Value = 1)

Bash script and /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I have seen this issue when creating scripts in Windows env and then porting over to run on a Unix environment.

Try running dos2unix on the script:

http://dos2unix.sourceforge.net/

Or just rewrite the script in your Unix env using vi and test.

Unix uses different line endings so can't read the file you created on Windows. Hence it is seeing ^M as an illegal character.

If you want to write a file on Windows and then port over, make sure your editor is set to create files in UNIX format.

In notepad++ in the bottom right of the screen, it tells you the document format. By default, it will say Dos\Windows. To change it go to

  • settings->preferences
  • new document / default directory tab
  • select the format as unix and close
  • create a new document

How to handle calendar TimeZones using Java?

It looks like your TimeStamp is being set to the timezone of the originating system.

This is deprecated, but it should work:

cal.setTimeInMillis(ts_.getTime() - ts_.getTimezoneOffset());

The non-deprecated way is to use

Calendar.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) + Calendar.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET)) / (60 * 1000)

but that would need to be done on the client side, since that system knows what timezone it is in.

What's the best practice to "git clone" into an existing folder?

I'd git clone to a new directory and copy the content of the existing directory to the new clone.

Using ConfigurationManager to load config from an arbitrary location

Another solution is to override the default environment configuration file path.

I find it the best solution for the of non-trivial-path configuration file load, specifically the best way to attach configuration file to dll.

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", <Full_Path_To_The_Configuration_File>);

Example:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", @"C:\Shared\app.config");

More details may be found at this blog.

Additionally, this other answer has an excellent solution, complete with code to refresh the app config and an IDisposable object to reset it back to it's original state. With this solution, you can keep the temporary app config scoped:

using(AppConfig.Change(tempFileName))
{
    // tempFileName is used for the app config during this context
}

What is the easiest way to remove the first character from a string?

Thanks to @the-tin-man for putting together the benchmarks!

Alas, I don't really like any of those solutions. Either they require an extra step to get the result ([0] = '', .strip!) or they aren't very semantic/clear about what's happening ([1..-1]: "Um, a range from 1 to negative 1? Yearg?"), or they are slow or lengthy to write out (.gsub, .length).

What we are attempting is a 'shift' (in Array parlance), but returning the remaining characters, rather than what was shifted off. Let's use our Ruby to make this possible with strings! We can use the speedy bracket operation, but give it a good name, and take an arg to specify how much we want to chomp off the front:

class String
  def eat!(how_many = 1)
    self.replace self[how_many..-1]
  end
end

But there is more we can do with that speedy-but-unwieldy bracket operation. While we are at it, for completeness, let's write a #shift and #first for String (why should Array have all the fun??), taking an arg to specify how many characters we want to remove from the beginning:

class String
  def first(how_many = 1)
    self[0...how_many]
  end

  def shift(how_many = 1)
    shifted = first(how_many)
    self.replace self[how_many..-1]
    shifted
  end
  alias_method :shift!, :shift
end

Ok, now we have a good clear way of pulling characters off the front of a string, with a method that is consistent with Array#first and Array#shift (which really should be a bang method??). And we can easily get the modified string as well with #eat!. Hm, should we share our new eat!ing power with Array? Why not!

class Array
  def eat!(how_many = 1)
    self.replace self[how_many..-1]
  end
end

Now we can:

> str = "[12,23,987,43" #=> "[12,23,987,43"
> str.eat!              #=> "12,23,987,43"
> str                   #=> "12,23,987,43"

> str.eat!(3)           #=> "23,987,43"
> str                   #=> "23,987,43"

> str.first(2)          #=> "23"
> str                   #=> "23,987,43"

> str.shift!(3)         #=> "23,"
> str                   #=> "987,43"

> arr = [1,2,3,4,5]     #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
> arr.eat!              #=> [2, 3, 4, 5] 
> arr                   #=> [2, 3, 4, 5] 

That's better!

How do I capture SIGINT in Python?

From Python's documentation:

import signal
import time

def handler(signum, frame):
    print 'Here you go'

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, handler)

time.sleep(10) # Press Ctrl+c here

Is Google Play Store supported in avd emulators?

It's not officially supported yet.

Edit: It's now supported in modern versions of Android Studio, at least on some platforms.

Old workarounds

If you're using an old version of Android Studio which doesn't support the Google Play Store, and you refuse to upgrade, here are two possible workarounds:

  1. Ask your favorite app's maintainers to upload a copy of their app into the Amazon Appstore. Next, install the Appstore onto your Android device. Finally, use the Appstore to install your favorite app.

  2. Or: Do a Web search to find a .apk file for the software you want. For example, if you want to install SleepBot in your Android emulator, you can do a Google Web search for [ SleepBot apk ]. Then use adb install to install the .apk file.

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' - Node / Apache Port Issue

Hi this happens when the front end and backend is running on different ports. The browser blocks the responses from the backend due to the absence on CORS headers. The solution is to make add the CORS headers in the backend request. The easiest way is to use cors npm package.

var express = require('express')
var cors = require('cors')
var app = express()
app.use(cors())

This will enable CORS headers in all your request. For more information you can refer to cors documentation

https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors

What is memoization and how can I use it in Python?

Just wanted to add to the answers already provided, the Python decorator library has some simple yet useful implementations that can also memoize "unhashable types", unlike functools.lru_cache.

How to force link from iframe to be opened in the parent window

There's a HTML element called base which allows you to:

Specify a default URL and a default target for all links on a page:

<base target="_blank" />

By specifying _blank you make sure all links inside the iframe will be opened outside.

Loop through columns and add string lengths as new columns

For the sake of completeness, there is also a data.table solution:

library(data.table)
result <- setDT(df)[, paste0(names(df), "_length") := lapply(.SD, stringr::str_length)]
result
#      col1     col2 col1_length col2_length
#1:     abc adf qqwe           3           8
#2:    abcd        d           4           1
#3:       a        e           1           1
#4: abcdefg        f           7           1

Setting the zoom level for a MKMapView

I found myself a solution, which is very simple and does the trick. Use MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance in order to set the distance in meters vertically and horizontally to get the desired zoom. And then of course when you update your location you'll get the right coordinates, or you can specify it directly in the CLLocationCoordinate2D at startup, if that's what you need to do:

CLLocationCoordinate2D noLocation;
MKCoordinateRegion viewRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(noLocation, 500, 500);
MKCoordinateRegion adjustedRegion = [self.mapView regionThatFits:viewRegion];          
[self.mapView setRegion:adjustedRegion animated:YES];
self.mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;

Swift:

let location = ...
let region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: location.coordinate, latitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance(exactly: 5000)!, longitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance(exactly: 5000)!)
mapView.setRegion(mapView.regionThatFits(region), animated: true)

How can I check if a Perl module is installed on my system from the command line?

You can check for a module's installation path by:

perldoc -l XML::Simple

The problem with your one-liner is that, it is not recursively traversing directories/sub-directories. Hence, you get only pragmatic module names as output.

How do I copy a folder from remote to local using scp?

In case you run into "Too many authentication failures", specify the exact SSH key you have added to your severs ssh server:

scp -r -i /path/to/local/key [email protected]:/path/to/folder /your/local/target/dir

How do I check out a remote Git branch?

The git remote show <origin name> command will list all branches (including un-tracked branches). Then you can find the remote branch name that you need to fetch.

Example:

$ git remote show origin

Use these steps to fetch remote branches:

git fetch <origin name> <remote branch name>:<local branch name>
git checkout <local branch name > (local branch name should the name that you given fetching)

Example:

$ git fetch origin test:test
$ git checkout test

Reporting Services Remove Time from DateTime in Expression

Since SSRS utilizes VB, you can do the following:

=Today() 'returns date only

If you were to use:

=Now() 'returns date and current timestamp

Bringing a subview to be in front of all other views

In c#, View.BringSubviewToFront(childView); YourView.Layer.ZPosition = 1; both should work.

Eclipse "this compilation unit is not on the build path of a java project"

This is what was missing in my .project file:

Convert string to datetime

I used Time.parse("02/07/1988"), like some of the other posters.

An interesting gotcha was that Time was loaded by default when I opened up IRB, but Time.parse was not defined. I had to require 'time' to get it to work.

That's with Ruby 2.2.

return results from a function (javascript, nodejs)

You are trying to execute an asynchronous function in a synchronous way, which is unfortunately not possible in Javascript.

As you guessed correctly, the roomId=results.... is executed when the loading from the DB completes, which is done asynchronously, so AFTER the resto of your code is completed.

Look at this article, it talks about .insert and not .find, but the idea is the same : http://metaduck.com/01-asynchronous-iteration-patterns.html

changing iframe source with jquery

Using attr() pointing to an external domain may trigger an error like this in Chrome: "Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options". The workaround to this can be to move the whole iframe HTML code into the script (eg. using .html() in jQuery).

Example:

var divMapLoaded = false;
$("#container").scroll(function() {
    if ((!divMapLoaded) && ($("#map").position().left <= $("#map").width())) {
    $("#map-iframe").html("<iframe id=\"map-iframe\" " +
        "width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" " +
        "marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" " +
        "src=\"http://www.google.it/maps?t=m&amp;cid=0x3e589d98063177ab&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=A&amp;brcurrent=5,0,1&amp;ll=41.123115,16.853177&amp;spn=0.005617,0.009943&amp;output=embed\"" +

    divMapLoaded = true;
}

Installing lxml module in python

If you are encountering this issue on an Alpine based image try this :

apk add --update --no-cache g++ gcc libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev make

// pip install -r requirements.txt

Incorrect syntax near ''

You can identify the encoding used for the file (in this case sql file) using an editor (I used Visual studio code). Once you open the file, it shows you the encoding of the file at the lower right corner on the editor.

encoding

I had this issue when I was trying to check-in a file that was encoded UTF-BOM (originating from a non-windows machine) that had special characters appended to individual string characters

You can change the encoding of your file as follows:

In the bottom bar of VSCode, you'll see the label UTF-8 With BOM. Click it. A popup opens. Click Save with encoding. You can now pick a new encoding for that file (UTF-8)

Is there an online application that automatically draws tree structures for phrases/sentences?

In short, yes. I assume you're looking to parse English: for that you can use the Link Parser from Carnegie Mellon.

It is important to remember that there are many theories of syntax, that can give completely different-looking phrase structure trees; further, the trees are different for each language, and tools may not exist for those languages.

As a note for the future: if you need a sentence parsed out and tag it as linguistics (and syntax or whatnot, if that's available), someone can probably parse it out for you and guide you through it.

How to pass variable number of arguments to printf/sprintf

I should have read more on existing questions in stack overflow.

C++ Passing Variable Number of Arguments is a similar question. Mike F has the following explanation:

There's no way of calling (eg) printf without knowing how many arguments you're passing to it, unless you want to get into naughty and non-portable tricks.

The generally used solution is to always provide an alternate form of vararg functions, so printf has vprintf which takes a va_list in place of the .... The ... versions are just wrappers around the va_list versions.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I performed a test implementation like this:

void Error(const char* format, ...)
{
    char dest[1024 * 16];
    va_list argptr;
    va_start(argptr, format);
    vsprintf(dest, format, argptr);
    va_end(argptr);
    printf(dest);
}

Counting duplicates in Excel

I don't know if it's entirely possible to do your ideal pattern. But I found a way to do your first way: CountIF

+-------+-------------------+
|   A   |         B         |
+-------+-------------------+
| GL15  | =COUNTIF(A:A, A1) |
+-------+-------------------+
| GL15  | =COUNTIF(A:A, A2) |
+-------+-------------------+
| GL15  | =COUNTIF(A:A, A3) |
+-------+-------------------+
| GL16  | =COUNTIF(A:A, A4) |
+-------+-------------------+
| GL17  | =COUNTIF(A:A, A5) |
+-------+-------------------+
| GL17  | =COUNTIF(A:A, A6) |

Circular dependency in Spring

Circular dependency in Spring : Dependency of one Bean to other. Bean A ? Bean B ? Bean A

Solutions:

  1. Use @Lazy Annotation
  2. Redesign you class dependency
  3. Use Setter/Field Injection
  4. Use @PostConstruct Annotation

What is the exact meaning of Git Bash?

Bash is a Command Line Interface that was created over twenty-seven years ago by Brian Fox as a free software replacement for the Bourne Shell. A shell is a specific kind of Command Line Interface. Bash is "open source" which means that anyone can read the code and suggest changes. Since its beginning, it has been supported by a large community of engineers who have worked to make it an incredible tool. Bash is the default shell for Linux and Mac. For these reasons, Bash is the most used and widely distributed shell.

Windows has a different Command Line Interface, called Command Prompt. While this has many of the same features as Bash, Bash is much more popular. Because of the strength of the open source community and the tools they provide, mastering Bash is a better investment than mastering Command Prompt.

To use Bash on a Windows computer, we need to download and install a program called Git Bash. Git Bash (Is the Bash for windows) allows us to easily access Bash as well as another tool called Git, inside the Windows environment.

If input field is empty, disable submit button

For those that use coffeescript, I've put the code we use globally to disable the submit buttons on our most widely used form. An adaption of Adil's answer above.

$('#new_post button').prop 'disabled', true
$('#new_post #post_message').keyup ->
    $('#new_post button').prop 'disabled', if @value == '' then true else false
    return

How to have the cp command create any necessary folders for copying a file to a destination

There is no such option. What you can do is to run mkdir -p before copying the file

I made a very cool script you can use to copy files in locations that doesn't exist

#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -d "$2" ]; then
    mkdir -p "$2"
fi
cp -R "$1" "$2"

Now just save it, give it permissions and run it using

./cp-improved SOURCE DEST

I put -R option but it's just a draft, I know it can be and you will improve it in many ways. Hope it helps you

Text in HTML Field to disappear when clicked?

To accomplish that, you can use the two events onfocus and onblur:

<input type="text" name="theName" value="DefaultValue"
  onblur="if(this.value==''){ this.value='DefaultValue'; this.style.color='#BBB';}"
  onfocus="if(this.value=='DefaultValue'){ this.value=''; this.style.color='#000';}"
  style="color:#BBB;" />

Android ADB stop application command like "force-stop" for non rooted device

If you have a rooted device you can use kill command

Connect to your device with adb:

adb shell

Once the session is established, you have to escalade privileges:

su

Then

ps

will list running processes. Note down the PID of the process you want to terminate. Then get rid of it

kill PID

How to use MySQL dump from a remote machine

Have you got access to SSH?

You can use this command in shell to backup an entire database:

mysqldump -u [username] -p[password] [databasename] > [filename.sql]

This is actually one command followed by the > operator, which says, "take the output of the previous command and store it in this file."

Note: The lack of a space between -p and the mysql password is not a typo. However, if you leave the -p flag present, but the actual password blank then you will be prompted for your password. Sometimes this is recommended to keep passwords out of your bash history.

Reducing MongoDB database file size

Starting with 2.8 version of Mongo, you can use compression. You will have 3 levels of compression with WiredTiger engine, mmap (which is default in 2.6 does not provide compression):

Here is an example of how much space will you be able to save for 16 GB of data:

Spring MVC - How to return simple String as JSON in Rest Controller

In one project we addressed this using JSONObject (maven dependency info). We chose this because we preferred returning a simple String rather than a wrapper object. An internal helper class could easily be used instead if you don't want to add a new dependency.

Example Usage:

@RestController
public class TestController
{
    @RequestMapping("/getString")
    public String getString()
    {
        return JSONObject.quote("Hello World");
    }
}

How to make popup look at the centre of the screen?

If the effect you want is to center in the center of the screen no matter where you've scrolled to, it's even simpler than that:

In your CSS use (for example)

div.centered{
  width: 100px;
  height: 50px;
  position:fixed; 
  top: calc(50% - 25px); // half of width
  left: calc(50% - 50px); // half of height
}

No JS required.

Changing datagridview cell color dynamically

This works for me

dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[columnIndex].Style.BackColor = Color.Red;

How to check a string starts with numeric number?

See the isDigit(char ch) method:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html

and pass it to the first character of the String using the String.charAt() method.

Character.isDigit(myString.charAt(0));

How to execute INSERT statement using JdbcTemplate class from Spring Framework

Use jdbcTemplate.update(String sql, Object... args) method:

jdbcTemplate.update(
    "INSERT INTO schema.tableName (column1, column2) VALUES (?, ?)",
    var1, var2
);

or jdbcTemplate.update(String sql, Object[] args, int[] argTypes), if you need to map arguments to SQL types manually:

jdbcTemplate.update(
    "INSERT INTO schema.tableName (column1, column2) VALUES (?, ?)",
    new Object[]{var1, var2}, new Object[]{Types.TYPE_OF_VAR1, Types.TYPE_OF_VAR2}
);

Is there any way to return HTML in a PHP function? (without building the return value as a string)

You can use a heredoc, which supports variable interpolation, making it look fairly neat:

function TestBlockHTML ($replStr) {
return <<<HTML
    <html>
    <body><h1>{$replStr}</h1>
    </body>
    </html>
HTML;
}

Pay close attention to the warning in the manual though - the closing line must not contain any whitespace, so can't be indented.

How to post data in PHP using file_get_contents?

Sending an HTTP POST request using file_get_contents is not that hard, actually : as you guessed, you have to use the $context parameter.


There's an example given in the PHP manual, at this page : HTTP context options (quoting) :

$postdata = http_build_query(
    array(
        'var1' => 'some content',
        'var2' => 'doh'
    )
);

$opts = array('http' =>
    array(
        'method'  => 'POST',
        'header'  => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => $postdata
    )
);

$context  = stream_context_create($opts);

$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/submit.php', false, $context);

Basically, you have to create a stream, with the right options (there is a full list on that page), and use it as the third parameter to file_get_contents -- nothing more ;-)


As a sidenote : generally speaking, to send HTTP POST requests, we tend to use curl, which provides a lot of options an all -- but streams are one of the nice things of PHP that nobody knows about... too bad...

Get Substring - everything before certain char

.Net Fiddle example

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("223232-1.jpg".GetUntilOrEmpty());
        Console.WriteLine("443-2.jpg".GetUntilOrEmpty());
        Console.WriteLine("34443553-5.jpg".GetUntilOrEmpty());

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

static class Helper
{
    public static string GetUntilOrEmpty(this string text, string stopAt = "-")
    {
        if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text))
        {
            int charLocation = text.IndexOf(stopAt, StringComparison.Ordinal);

            if (charLocation > 0)
            {
                return text.Substring(0, charLocation);
            }
        }

        return String.Empty;
    }
}

Results:

223232
443
34443553

Calculating distance between two points, using latitude longitude?

Note: this solution only works for short distances.

I tried to use dommer's posted formula for an application and found it did well for long distances but in my data I was using all very short distances, and dommer's post did very poorly. I needed speed, and the more complex geo calcs worked well but were too slow. So, in the case that you need speed and all the calculations you're making are short (maybe < 100m or so). I found this little approximation to work great. it assumes the world is flat mind you, so don't use it for long distances, it works by approximating the distance of a single Latitude and Longitude at the given Latitude and returning the Pythagorean distance in meters.

public class FlatEarthDist {
    //returns distance in meters
    public static double distance(double lat1, double lng1, 
                                      double lat2, double lng2){
     double a = (lat1-lat2)*FlatEarthDist.distPerLat(lat1);
     double b = (lng1-lng2)*FlatEarthDist.distPerLng(lat1);
     return Math.sqrt(a*a+b*b);
    }

    private static double distPerLng(double lat){
      return 0.0003121092*Math.pow(lat, 4)
             +0.0101182384*Math.pow(lat, 3)
                 -17.2385140059*lat*lat
             +5.5485277537*lat+111301.967182595;
    }

    private static double distPerLat(double lat){
            return -0.000000487305676*Math.pow(lat, 4)
                -0.0033668574*Math.pow(lat, 3)
                +0.4601181791*lat*lat

Create dataframe from a matrix

You can use stack from the base package. But, you need first to coerce your matrix to a data.frame and to reorder the columns once the data is stacked.

mat <- as.data.frame(mat)
res <- data.frame(time= mat$time,stack(mat,select=-time))
res[,c(3,1,2)]

  ind time values
1 C_0  0.0    0.1
2 C_0  0.5    0.2
3 C_0  1.0    0.3
4 C_1  0.0    0.3
5 C_1  0.5    0.4
6 C_1  1.0    0.5

Note that stack is generally more efficient than the reshape2 package.

CSS: how do I create a gap between rows in a table?

Simply you can use padding-top and padding-bottom on a td element.

Unit can anything from this list:

Node.js - Maximum call stack size exceeded

Please check that the function you are importing and the one that you have declared in the same file do not have the same name.

I will give you an example for this error. In express JS (using ES6), consider the following scenario:

import {getAllCall} from '../../services/calls';

let getAllCall = () => {
   return getAllCall().then(res => {
      //do something here
   })
}
module.exports = {
getAllCall
}

The above scenario will cause infamous RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded error because the function keeps calling itself so many times that it runs out of maximum call stack.

Most of the times the error is in code (like the one above). Other way of resolving is manually increasing the call stack. Well, this works for certain extreme cases, but it is not recommended.

Hope my answer helped you.

Initialize 2D array

You can use for loop if you really want to.

char table[][] table = new char[row][col];
for(int i = 0; i < row * col ; ++i){
     table[i/row][i % col] = char('a' + (i+1));
}

or do what bhesh said.

How to generate Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram of a database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio?

As of Oct 2019, SQL Server Management Studio, they did not upgraded the SSMS to add create ER Diagram feature.

I would suggest try using DBWeaver from here :

Remove specific characters from a string in Python

The string method replace does not modify the original string. It leaves the original alone and returns a modified copy.

What you want is something like: line = line.replace(char,'')

def replace_all(line, )for char in line:
    if char in " ?.!/;:":
        line = line.replace(char,'')
    return line

However, creating a new string each and every time that a character is removed is very inefficient. I recommend the following instead:

def replace_all(line, baddies, *):
    """
    The following is documentation on how to use the class,
    without reference to the implementation details:

    For implementation notes, please see comments begining with `#`
    in the source file.

    [*crickets chirp*]

    """

    is_bad = lambda ch, baddies=baddies: return ch in baddies
    filter_baddies = lambda ch, *, is_bad=is_bad: "" if is_bad(ch) else ch

Calling a function on bootstrap modal open

You can use the shown event/show event based on what you need:

$( "#code" ).on('shown', function(){
    alert("I want this to appear after the modal has opened!");
});

Demo: Plunker

Update for Bootstrap 3.0

For Bootstrap 3.0 you can still use the shown event but you would use it like this:

$('#code').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
  // do something...
})

See the Bootstrap 3.0 docs here under "Events".

Android: install .apk programmatically

This question is very helpfully BUT Don't forget to mount SD Card in your emulator, if you don't do this its doesn't work.

I lose my time before discover this.

twitter bootstrap text-center when in xs mode

@media (max-width: 767px) {
    footer .text-right, 
    footer .text-left {
        text-align: center;
    } 
}

I updated @loddn's answer, making two changes

  • max-width of xs screens in bootstrap is 767px (768px is the start of sm screens)
  • (this one is a matter of preference) I used footer instead of col-* so that if the column widths change, the CSS doesn't need to be updated.

ASP.NET MVC Conditional validation

I had the same problem yesterday but I did it in a very clean way which works for both client side and server side validation.

Condition: Based on the value of other property in the model, you want to make another property required. Here is the code

public class RequiredIfAttribute : RequiredAttribute
{
    private String PropertyName { get; set; }
    private Object DesiredValue { get; set; }

    public RequiredIfAttribute(String propertyName, Object desiredvalue)
    {
        PropertyName = propertyName;
        DesiredValue = desiredvalue;
    }

    protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext context)
    {
        Object instance = context.ObjectInstance;
        Type type = instance.GetType();
        Object proprtyvalue = type.GetProperty(PropertyName).GetValue(instance, null);
        if (proprtyvalue.ToString() == DesiredValue.ToString())
        {
            ValidationResult result = base.IsValid(value, context);
            return result;
        }
        return ValidationResult.Success;
    }
}

Here PropertyName is the property on which you want to make your condition DesiredValue is the particular value of the PropertyName (property) for which your other property has to be validated for required

Say you have the following

public class User
{
    public UserType UserType { get; set; }

    [RequiredIf("UserType", UserType.Admin, ErrorMessageResourceName = "PasswordRequired", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(ResourceString))]
    public string Password
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

At last but not the least , register adapter for your attribute so that it can do client side validation (I put it in global.asax, Application_Start)

 DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(typeof(RequiredIfAttribute),typeof(RequiredAttributeAdapter));

What is the difference between ELF files and bin files?

A Bin file is a pure binary file with no memory fix-ups or relocations, more than likely it has explicit instructions to be loaded at a specific memory address. Whereas....

ELF files are Executable Linkable Format which consists of a symbol look-ups and relocatable table, that is, it can be loaded at any memory address by the kernel and automatically, all symbols used, are adjusted to the offset from that memory address where it was loaded into. Usually ELF files have a number of sections, such as 'data', 'text', 'bss', to name but a few...it is within those sections where the run-time can calculate where to adjust the symbol's memory references dynamically at run-time.

How to set width of mat-table column in angular?

As i have implemented, and it is working fine. you just need to add column width using matColumnDef="description"

for example :

<mat-table #table [dataSource]="dataSource" matSortDisableClear>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="productId">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>product ID</mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let product">{{product.id}}</mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="productName">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Name</mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let product">{{product.name}}</mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="actions">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Actions</mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let product">
            <button (click)="view(product)">
                <mat-icon>visibility</mat-icon>
            </button>
        </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></mat-header-row>
    <mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns"></mat-row>
</mat-table>

here matColumnDef is productId, productName and action

now we apply width by matColumnDef

styling

.mat-column-productId {
    flex: 0 0 10%;
}
.mat-column-productName {
    flex: 0 0 50%;
}

and remaining width is equally allocated to other columns

Why does git perform fast-forward merges by default?

Let me expand a bit on a VonC's very comprehensive answer:


First, if I remember it correctly, the fact that Git by default doesn't create merge commits in the fast-forward case has come from considering single-branch "equal repositories", where mutual pull is used to sync those two repositories (a workflow you can find as first example in most user's documentation, including "The Git User's Manual" and "Version Control by Example"). In this case you don't use pull to merge fully realized branch, you use it to keep up with other work. You don't want to have ephemeral and unimportant fact when you happen to do a sync saved and stored in repository, saved for the future.

Note that usefulness of feature branches and of having multiple branches in single repository came only later, with more widespread usage of VCS with good merging support, and with trying various merge-based workflows. That is why for example Mercurial originally supported only one branch per repository (plus anonymous tips for tracking remote branches), as seen in older revisions of "Mercurial: The Definitive Guide".


Second, when following best practices of using feature branches, namely that feature branches should all start from stable version (usually from last release), to be able to cherry-pick and select which features to include by selecting which feature branches to merge, you are usually not in fast-forward situation... which makes this issue moot. You need to worry about creating a true merge and not fast-forward when merging a very first branch (assuming that you don't put single-commit changes directly on 'master'); all other later merges are of course in non fast-forward situation.

Verilog generate/genvar in an always block

Within a module, Verilog contains essentially two constructs: items and statements. Statements are always found in procedural contexts, which include anything in between begin..end, functions, tasks, always blocks and initial blocks. Items, such as generate constructs, are listed directly in the module. For loops and most variable/constant declarations can exist in both contexts.

In your code, it appears that you want the for loop to be evaluated as a generate item but the loop is actually part of the procedural context of the always block. For a for loop to be treated as a generate loop it must be in the module context. The generate..endgenerate keywords are entirely optional(some tools require them) and have no effect. See this answer for an example of how generate loops are evaluated.

//Compiler sees this
parameter ROWBITS = 4;
reg [ROWBITS-1:0] temp;
genvar c;

    always @(posedge sysclk) //Procedural context starts here
    begin
        for (c = 0; c < ROWBITS; c = c + 1) begin: test
            temp[c] <= 1'b0; //Still a genvar
        end
    end

Access to Image from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy

To solve your error I propose this solution: to work on Visual studio code editor and install live server extension in the editor, which allows you to connect to your local server, for me I put the picture in my workspace 127.0.0.1:5500/workspace/data/pict.png and it works!

How to make cross domain request

If you're willing to transmit some data and that you don't need to be secured (any public infos) you can use a CORS proxy, it's very easy, you'll not have to change anything in your code or in server side (especially of it's not your server like the Yahoo API or OpenWeather). I've used it to fetch JSON files with an XMLHttpRequest and it worked fine.

Replace text in HTML page with jQuery

var replaced = $("body").html().replace(/-1o9-2202/g,'The ALL new string');
$("body").html(replaced);

for variable:

var replaced = $("body").html().replace(new RegExp("-1o9-2202", "igm"),'The ALL new string');
$("body").html(replaced);

Read tab-separated file line into array

You could also try,

OIFS=$IFS;
IFS="\t";

animals=`cat animals.txt`
animalArray=$animals;

for animal in $animalArray
do
    echo $animal
done

IFS=$OIFS;

Add button to a layout programmatically

This line:

layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.statsviewlayout);

Looks for the "statsviewlayout" id in your current 'contentview'. Now you've set that here:

setContentView(new GraphTemperature(getApplicationContext()));

And i'm guessing that new "graphTemperature" does not set anything with that id.

It's a common mistake to think you can just find any view with findViewById. You can only find a view that is in the XML (or appointed by code and given an id).

The nullpointer will be thrown because the layout you're looking for isn't found, so

layout.addView(buyButton);

Throws that exception.

addition: Now if you want to get that view from an XML, you should use an inflater:

layout = (LinearLayout) View.inflate(this, R.layout.yourXMLYouWantToLoad, null);

assuming that you have your linearlayout in a file called "yourXMLYouWantToLoad.xml"

Android: adbd cannot run as root in production builds

The problem is that, even though your phone is rooted, the 'adbd' server on the phone does not use root permissions. You can try to bypass these checks or install a different adbd on your phone or install a custom kernel/distribution that includes a patched adbd.

Or, a much easier solution is to use 'adbd insecure' from chainfire which will patch your adbd on the fly. It's not permanent, so you have to run it before starting up the adb server (or else set it to run every boot). You can get the app from the google play store for a couple bucks:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.adbd&hl=en

Or you can get it for free, the author has posted a free version on xda-developers:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590

Install it to your device (copy it to the device and open the apk file with a file manager), run adb insecure on the device, and finally kill the adb server on your computer:

% adb kill-server

And then restart the server and it should already be root.

Find an object in SQL Server (cross-database)

You can achieve this by using the following query:

EXEC sp_msforeachdb 
    'IF EXISTS
    (
        SELECT  1 
        FROM    [?].sys.objects 
        WHERE   name LIKE ''OBJECT_TO_SEARCH''
    )
    SELECT 
        ''?''       AS DB, 
        name        AS Name, 
        type_desc   AS Type 
    FROM [?].sys.objects 
    WHERE name LIKE ''OBJECT_TO_SEARCH'''

Just replace OBJECT_TO_SEARCH with the actual object name you are interested in (or part of it, surrounded with %).

Why use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of ""

Using an empty string is perfectly fine and actually much safer than simply using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

When using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] it is very easy to inject malicious data by simply appending /<script>... after the whatever.php part of the URL so you should not use this method and stop using any PHP tutorial that suggests it.

What is "pass-through authentication" in IIS 7?

Normally, IIS would use the process identity (the user account it is running the worker process as) to access protected resources like file system or network.

With passthrough authentication, IIS will attempt to use the actual identity of the user when accessing protected resources.

If the user is not authenticated, IIS will use the application pool identity instead. If pool identity is set to NetworkService or LocalSystem, the actual Windows account used is the computer account.

The IIS warning you see is not an error, it's just a warning. The actual check will be performed at execution time, and if it fails, it'll show up in the log.

What does the "@" symbol do in SQL?

The @CustID means it's a parameter that you will supply a value for later in your code. This is the best way of protecting against SQL injection. Create your query using parameters, rather than concatenating strings and variables. The database engine puts the parameter value into where the placeholder is, and there is zero chance for SQL injection.

SQL subquery with COUNT help

This is probably the easiest way, not the prettiest though:

SELECT *,
    (SELECT Count(*) FROM eventsTable WHERE columnName = 'Business') as RowCount
    FROM eventsTable
    WHERE columnName = 'Business'

This will also work without having to use a group by

SELECT *, COUNT(*) OVER () as RowCount
    FROM eventsTables
    WHERE columnName = 'Business'

Java Wait for thread to finish

You could use a CountDownLatch from the java.util.concurrent package. It is very useful when waiting for one or more threads to complete before continuing execution in the awaiting thread.

For example, waiting for three tasks to complete:

CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(3);
...
latch.await(); // Wait for countdown

The other thread(s) then each call latch.countDown() when complete with the their tasks. Once the countdown is complete, three in this example, the execution will continue.

How to get the anchor from the URL using jQuery?

For current window, you can use this:

var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1);

To get the hash value of the main window, use this:

var hash = window.top.location.hash.substr(1);

If you have a string with an URL/hash, the easiest method is:

var url = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/123/abc#10076097';
var hash = url.split('#').pop();

If you're using jQuery, use this:

var hash = $(location).attr('hash');

How can I get a favicon to show up in my django app?

Universal solution

You can get the favicon showing up in Django the same way you can do in any other framework: just use pure HTML.

Add the following code to the header of your HTML template.
Better, to your base HTML template if the favicon is the same across your application.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{% static 'favicon/favicon.png' %}"/>

The previous code assumes:

  1. You have a folder named 'favicon' in your static folder
  2. The favicon file has the name 'favicon.png'
  3. You have properly set the setting variable STATIC_URL

You can find useful information about file format support and how to use favicons in this article of Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon.
I can recommend use .png for universal browser compatibility.

EDIT:
As posted in one comment,
"Don't forget to add {% load staticfiles %} in top of your template file!"

What does "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" mean?

Variables in .NET are either reference types or value types. Value types are primitives such as integers and booleans or structures (and can be identified because they inherit from System.ValueType). Boolean variables, when declared, have a default value:

bool mybool;
//mybool == false

Reference types, when declared, do not have a default value:

class ExampleClass
{
}

ExampleClass exampleClass; //== null

If you try to access a member of a class instance using a null reference then you get a System.NullReferenceException. Which is the same as Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The following code is a simple way of reproducing this:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var exampleClass = new ExampleClass();
    var returnedClass = exampleClass.ExampleMethod();
    returnedClass.AnotherExampleMethod(); //NullReferenceException here.
}

class ExampleClass
{
    public ReturnedClass ExampleMethod()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

class ReturnedClass
{
    public void AnotherExampleMethod()
    {
    }
}

This is a very common error and can occur because of all kinds of reasons. The root cause really depends on the specific scenario that you've encountered.

If you are using an API or invoking methods that may return null then it's important to handle this gracefully. The main method above can be modified in such a way that the NullReferenceException should never be seen by a user:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var exampleClass = new ExampleClass();
    var returnedClass = exampleClass.ExampleMethod();

    if (returnedClass == null)
    {
        //throw a meaningful exception or give some useful feedback to the user!
        return;
    }

    returnedClass.AnotherExampleMethod();
}

All of the above really just hints of .NET Type Fundamentals, for further information I'd recommend either picking up CLR via C# or reading this MSDN article by the same author - Jeffrey Richter. Also check out, much more complex, example of when you can encounter a NullReferenceException.

Some teams using Resharper make use of JetBrains attributes to annotate code to highlight where nulls are (not) expected.

Can lambda functions be templated?

In C++11, lambda functions can not be templated, but in the next version of the ISO C++ Standard (often called C++14), this feature will be introduced. [Source]

Usage example:

auto get_container_size = [] (auto container) { return container.size(); };

Note that though the syntax uses the keyword auto, the type deduction will not use the rules of auto type deduction, but instead use the rules of template argument deduction. Also see the proposal for generic lambda expressions(and the update to this).

Display back button on action bar

I know I'm a bit late, but was able to fix this issue by following the docs directly.

Add the meta-data tag to AndroidManifest.xml (so the system knows)

 <activity
        android:name=".Sub"
        android:label="Sub-Activity"
        android:parentActivityName=".MainChooser"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
        android:value=".MainChooser" />
    </activity>

Next, enable the back (up) button in your MainActivity

    @Override 
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_child);
 
    // my_child_toolbar is defined in the layout file 
    Toolbar myChildToolbar =
        (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_child_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(myChildToolbar);
 
    // Get a support ActionBar corresponding to this toolbar 
    ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
 
    // Enable the Up button 
    ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    } 

And, you will be all set up!

How do I pass along variables with XMLHTTPRequest

Manually formatting the query string is fine for simple situations. But it can become tedious when there are many parameters.

You could write a simple utility function that handles building the query formatting for you.

function formatParams( params ){
  return "?" + Object
        .keys(params)
        .map(function(key){
          return key+"="+encodeURIComponent(params[key])
        })
        .join("&")
}

And you would use it this way to build a request.

var endpoint = "https://api.example.com/endpoint"
var params = {
  a: 1, 
  b: 2,
  c: 3
}

var url = endpoint + formatParams(params)
//=> "https://api.example.com/endpoint?a=1&b=2&c=3"

There are many utility functions available for manipulating URL's. If you have JQuery in your project you could give http://api.jquery.com/jquery.param/ a try.

It is similar to the above example function, but handles recursively serializing nested objects and arrays.

Is it possible to use jQuery to read meta tags

jQuery now supports .data();, so if you have

<div id='author' data-content='stuff!'>

use

var author = $('#author').data("content"); // author = 'stuff!'

Pass Arraylist as argument to function

Define it as

<return type> AnalyzeArray(ArrayList<Integer> list) {

Calling stored procedure from another stored procedure SQL Server

Simply call test2 from test1 like:

EXEC test2 @newId, @prod, @desc;

Make sure to get @id using SCOPE_IDENTITY(), which gets the last identity value inserted into an identity column in the same scope:

SELECT @newId = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

            var finalSplitText = simpleText.split("_");
            var splitText = finalSplitText[0];
            $("#target").text(splitText);
        });
</script>

Quick solution: set PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH and include PYTHONHOME on PATH

For example if you installed to c:\Python27

set PYTHONHOME=c:\Python27
set PYTHONPATH=c:\Python27\Lib
set PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH%

Make sure you don't have a trailing '\' on the PYTHON* vars, this seems to break it aswel.

Issue when importing dataset: `Error in scan(...): line 1 did not have 145 elements`

I encountered this issue while importing some of the files from the Add Health data into R (see: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/21600?archive=ICPSR&q=21600 ) For example, the following command to read the DS12 data file in tab separated .tsv format will generate the following error:

ds12 <- read.table("21600-0012-Data.tsv", sep="\t", comment.char="", 
quote = "\"", header=TRUE)

Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, 
na.strings,  : line 2390 did not have 1851 elements

It appears there is a slight formatting issue with some of the files that causes R to reject the file. At least part of the issue appears to be the occasional use of double quotes instead of an apostrophe that causes an uneven number of double quote characters in a line.

After fiddling, I've identified three possible solutions:

  1. Open the file in a text editor and search/replace all instances of a quote character " with nothing. In other words, delete all double quotes. For this tab-delimited data, this meant only that some verbatim excerpts of comments from subjects were no longer in quotes which was a non-issue for my data analysis.

  2. With data stored on ICPSR (see link above) or other archives another solution is to download the data in a new format. A good option in this case is to download the Stata version of the DS12 and then open it using the read.dta command as follows:

    library(foreign)
    ds12 <- read.dta("21600-0012-Data.dta")
    
  3. A related solution/hack is to open the .tsv file in Excel and re-save it as a tab separated text file. This seems to clean up whatever formatting issue makes R unhappy.

None of these are ideal in that they don't quite solve the problem in R with the original .tsv file but data wrangling often requires the use of multiple programs and formats.

How to install maven on redhat linux

Pretty much what others said, but using "~/.bash_profile" and step by step (for beginners):

  1. Move to home folder and create a new folder for maven artifacts:
    • cd ~ && mkdir installed-packages
  2. Go to https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and wget the latest artifact:
    • If you don't have wget installed: sudo yum install -y wget
    • cd ~/installed-packages
    • wget http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.5.0/binaries/apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
  3. Uncompress the downloaded file:
    • tar -xvf apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
  4. Create a symbolic link of the uncompressed file:
    • ln -s ~/installed-packages/apache-maven-3.5.0 /usr/local/apache-maven
  5. Edit ~/.bash_profile (This is where environment variables are commonly stored):
    • vi ~/.bash_profile
    • Add the variable: MVN_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven (do this before PATH variable is defined)
      • (For those who don't know vi tool: Press i key to enable insert mode)
    • Go to the end of the line where PATH variable is defined and append the following: :$MVN_HOME:$MVN_HOME/bin
    • Save changes
      • (For those who don't know vi tool: Press esc key to exit insert mode and :wq! to save and quit file)
  6. Reload environment variables:
    • source ~/.bash_profile
  7. Confirm that maven command now works properly:
    • mvn --help

Initialization of all elements of an array to one default value in C++?

The page you linked states

If an explicit array size is specified, but an shorter initiliazation list is specified, the unspecified elements are set to zero.

Speed issue: Any differences would be negligible for arrays this small. If you work with large arrays and speed is much more important than size, you can have a const array of the default values (initialized at compile time) and then memcpy them to the modifiable array.

Active Menu Highlight CSS

Following @Sampson's answer, I approached it this way -

HTML:

  1. I have a div with content class in each page, which holds the contents of that page. Header and Footer are separated.
  2. I have added a unique class for each page with content. For example, if I am creating a CONTACT US page, I will put the contents of the page inside <section class="content contact-us"></section>.
  3. By this, it makes it easier for me to write page specific CSS in a single style.css.

JavaScript:

  1. Now in JavaScript, I aim to compare the menu link text with the unique class name defined in HTML. I am using jQuery.
  2. First I have taken all the menu texts, and performed some string functions to make the texts lowercase and replace spaces with hyphens so it matches the class name.
  3. Now, if the content class have the same class as menu text (lowercase and without spaces), add active class to the menu item.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var $allMenu = $('.nav-menu > .parent-nav > li > a');
var $currentContent = $('.content');
$allMenu.each(function() {

  if ($currentContent.hasClass($singleMenuTitle)) {
    $(this).addClass('active');

Why I Approached This?

  1. @Sampson's answer worked very well for me, but I noticed that I had to add new code every time I want to add new page.
  2. Also in my project, the body tag is in header.php file which means I cannot write unique class name for every page.

Using Eloquent ORM in Laravel to perform search of database using LIKE

Use double quotes instead of single quote eg :

where('customer.name', 'LIKE', "%$findcustomer%")

Below is my code:

public function searchCustomer($findcustomer)
{
    $customer = DB::table('customer')
                  ->where('customer.name', 'LIKE', "%$findcustomer%")
                  ->orWhere('customer.phone', 'LIKE', "%$findcustomer%")
                  ->get();

    return View::make("your view here");
}

How can I install a package with go get?

First, we need GOPATH

The $GOPATH is a folder (or set of folders) specified by its environment variable. We must notice that this is not the $GOROOT directory where Go is installed.

export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

We used ~/gocode path in our computer to store the source of our application and its dependencies. The GOPATH directory will also store the binaries of their packages.

Then check Go env

You system must have $GOPATH and $GOROOT, below is my Env:

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/elpsstu/gocode"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/home/pravin/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/home/pravin/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

Now, you run download go package:

go get [-d] [-f] [-fix] [-t] [-u] [build flags] [packages]

Get downloads and installs the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies. For more details you can look here.

How to get the new value of an HTML input after a keypress has modified it?

Here is a table of the different events and the levels of browser support. You need to pick an event which is supported across at least all modern browsers.

As you will see from the table, the keypress and change event do not have uniform support whereas the keyup event does.

Also make sure you attach the event handler using a cross-browser-compatible method...

How to set an environment variable in a running docker container

You wrote that you do not want to migrate the old volumes. So I assume either the Dockerfile that you used to build the spencercooley/wordpress image has VOLUMEs defined or you specified them on command line with the -v switch.

You could simply start a new container which imports the volumes from the old one with the --volumes-from switch like:

$ docker run --name my-new-wordpress --volumes-from my-wordpress -e VIRTUAL_HOST=domain.com --link my-mysql:mysql -d spencercooley/wordpres

So you will have a fresh container but you do not loose the old data. You do not even need to touch or migrate it.

A well-done container is always stateless. That means its process is supposed to add or modify only files on defined volumes. That can be verified with a simple docker diff <containerId> after the container ran a while.

In that case it is not dangerous when you re-create the container with the same parameters (in your case slightly modified ones). Assuming you create it from exactly the same image from which the old one was created and you re-use the same volumes with the above mentioned switch.

After the new container has started successfully and you verified that everything runs correctly you can delete the old wordpress container. The old volumes are then referred from the new container and will not be deleted.

Viewing unpushed Git commits

git show

will show all the diffs in your local commits.

git show --name-only

will show the local commit id and the name of commit.

CMD (command prompt) can't go to the desktop

You need to use the change directory command 'cd' to change directory

cd C:\Users\MyName\Desktop

you can use cd \d to change the drive as well.

How do I install chkconfig on Ubuntu?

In Ubuntu /etc/init.d has been replaced by /usr/lib/systemd. Scripts can still be started and stoped by 'service'. But the primary command is now 'systemctl'. The chkconfig command was left behind, and now you do this with systemctl.

So instead of:

chkconfig enable apache2

You should look for the service name, and then enable it

systemctl status apache2
systemctl enable apache2.service

Systemd has become more friendly about figuring out if you have a systemd script, or an /etc/init.d script, and doing the right thing.

Update some specific field of an entity in android Room

If you need to update user information for a specific user ID "x",

  1. you need to create a dbManager class that will initialise the database in its constructor and acts as a mediator between your viewModel and DAO, and also .
  2. The ViewModel will initialize an instance of dbManager to access the database. The code should look like this:

       @Entity
        class User{
        @PrimaryKey
        String userId;
        String username;
        }
    
        Interface UserDao{
        //forUpdate
        @Update
        void updateUser(User user)
        }
    
        Class DbManager{
        //AppDatabase gets the static object o roomDatabase.
        AppDatabase appDatabase;
        UserDao userDao;
        public DbManager(Application application ){
        appDatabase = AppDatabase.getInstance(application);
    
        //getUserDao is and abstract method of type UserDao declared in AppDatabase //class
        userDao = appDatabase.getUserDao();
        } 
    
        public void updateUser(User user, boolean isUpdate){
        new InsertUpdateUserAsyncTask(userDao,isUpdate).execute(user);
        }
    
    
    
        public static class InsertUpdateUserAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<User, Void, Void> {
    
    
         private UserDao userDAO;
         private boolean isInsert;
    
         public InsertUpdateBrandAsyncTask(BrandDAO userDAO, boolean isInsert) {
           this. userDAO = userDAO;
           this.isInsert = isInsert;
         }
    
         @Override
         protected Void doInBackground(User... users) {
           if (isInsert)
        userDAO.insertBrand(brandEntities[0]);
           else
        //for update
        userDAO.updateBrand(users[0]);
        //try {
        //  Thread.sleep(1000);
        //} catch (InterruptedException e) {
        //  e.printStackTrace();
        //}
           return null;
         }
          }
        }
    
         Class UserViewModel{
         DbManager dbManager;
         public UserViewModel(Application application){
         dbmanager = new DbMnager(application);
         }
    
         public void updateUser(User user, boolean isUpdate){
         dbmanager.updateUser(user,isUpdate);
         }
    
         }
    
    
    
    
    Now in your activity or fragment initialise your UserViewModel like this:
    
    UserViewModel userViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(UserViewModel.class);
    

    Then just update your user item this way, suppose your userId is 1122 and userName is "xyz" which has to be changed to "zyx".

    Get an userItem of id 1122 User object

User user = new user();
 if(user.getUserId() == 1122){
   user.setuserName("zyx");
   userViewModel.updateUser(user);
 }

This is a raw code, hope it helps you.

Happy coding

Android 8: Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted

To apply these various answers to Xamarin.Android, you can use class and assembly level Attributes vs. manually editing the AndroidManifest.xml

Internet permission of course is needed (duh..):

[assembly: UsesPermission(Android.Manifest.Permission.Internet)]

Note: Typically assembly level attributes are added to your AssemblyInfo.cs file, but any file, below the using and above the namespace works.

Then on your Application subclass (create one if needed), you can add NetworkSecurityConfig with a reference to an Resources/xml/ZZZZ.xml file:

#if DEBUG
[Application(AllowBackup = false, Debuggable = true, NetworkSecurityConfig = "@xml/network_security_config")]
#else
[Application(AllowBackup = true, Debuggable = false, NetworkSecurityConfig = "@xml/network_security_config"))]
#endif
public class App : Application
{
    public App(IntPtr javaReference, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer) : base(javaReference, transfer) { }
    public App() { }

    public override void OnCreate()
    {
        base.OnCreate();
    }
}

Create a file in the Resources/xml folder (create the xml folder if needed).

Example xml/network_security_config file, adjust as needed (see other answers)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
          <domain includeSubdomains="true">www.example.com</domain>
          <domain includeSubdomains="true">notsecure.com</domain>
          <domain includeSubdomains="false">xxx.xxx.xxx</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

You can also use the UsesCleartextTraffic parameter on the ApplicationAttribute:

#if DEBUG
[Application(AllowBackup = false, Debuggable = true, UsesCleartextTraffic = true)]
#else
[Application(AllowBackup = true, Debuggable = false, UsesCleartextTraffic = true))]
#endif

What's the better (cleaner) way to ignore output in PowerShell?

I just did some tests of the four options that I know about.

Measure-Command {$(1..1000) | Out-Null}

TotalMilliseconds : 76.211

Measure-Command {[Void]$(1..1000)}

TotalMilliseconds : 0.217

Measure-Command {$(1..1000) > $null}

TotalMilliseconds : 0.2478

Measure-Command {$null = $(1..1000)}

TotalMilliseconds : 0.2122

## Control, times vary from 0.21 to 0.24
Measure-Command {$(1..1000)}

TotalMilliseconds : 0.2141

So I would suggest that you use anything but Out-Null due to overhead. The next important thing, to me, would be readability. I kind of like redirecting to $null and setting equal to $null myself. I use to prefer casting to [Void], but that may not be as understandable when glancing at code or for new users.

I guess I slightly prefer redirecting output to $null.

Do-Something > $null

Edit

After stej's comment again, I decided to do some more tests with pipelines to better isolate the overhead of trashing the output.

Here are some tests with a simple 1000 object pipeline.

## Control Pipeline
Measure-Command {$(1..1000) | ?{$_ -is [int]}}

TotalMilliseconds : 119.3823

## Out-Null
Measure-Command {$(1..1000) | ?{$_ -is [int]} | Out-Null}

TotalMilliseconds : 190.2193

## Redirect to $null
Measure-Command {$(1..1000) | ?{$_ -is [int]} > $null}

TotalMilliseconds : 119.7923

In this case, Out-Null has about a 60% overhead and > $null has about a 0.3% overhead.

Addendum 2017-10-16: I originally overlooked another option with Out-Null, the use of the -inputObject parameter. Using this the overhead seems to disappear, however the syntax is different:

Out-Null -inputObject ($(1..1000) | ?{$_ -is [int]})

And now for some tests with a simple 100 object pipeline.

## Control Pipeline
Measure-Command {$(1..100) | ?{$_ -is [int]}}

TotalMilliseconds : 12.3566

## Out-Null
Measure-Command {$(1..100) | ?{$_ -is [int]} | Out-Null}

TotalMilliseconds : 19.7357

## Redirect to $null
Measure-Command {$(1..1000) | ?{$_ -is [int]} > $null}

TotalMilliseconds : 12.8527

Here again Out-Null has about a 60% overhead. While > $null has an overhead of about 4%. The numbers here varied a bit from test to test (I ran each about 5 times and picked the middle ground). But I think it shows a clear reason to not use Out-Null.

Is there a good JSP editor for Eclipse?

"Web Page Editor (optional)" package from the Eclipse Galileo/Helios update site has the following very minor quirks in a JSP editor:

  • Auto-commenting in Java code fragments does not work (Ctrl /); [fixed in Helios SR2]
  • [present in Galileo, fixed in Eclipse Helios SR1] If a Java code fragment has errors that are already fixed, the editor does not remove the error marks until you modify the erroneous place or close/reopen the file being edited;

This was valid at Dec 7, 2010.

What is the difference between a field and a property?

Properties expose fields. Fields should (almost always) be kept private to a class and accessed via get and set properties. Properties provide a level of abstraction allowing you to change the fields while not affecting the external way they are accessed by the things that use your class.

public class MyClass
{
    // this is a field.  It is private to your class and stores the actual data.
    private string _myField;

    // this is a property. When accessed it uses the underlying field,
    // but only exposes the contract, which will not be affected by the underlying field
    public string MyProperty
    {
        get
        {
            return _myField;
        }
        set
        {
            _myField = value;
        }
    }

    // This is an AutoProperty (C# 3.0 and higher) - which is a shorthand syntax
    // used to generate a private field for you
    public int AnotherProperty { get; set; } 
}

@Kent points out that Properties are not required to encapsulate fields, they could do a calculation on other fields, or serve other purposes.

@GSS points out that you can also do other logic, such as validation, when a property is accessed, another useful feature.

Jmeter - get current date and time

Use ${__time(yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss)} to convert time into a particular timeformat. Here are other formats that you can use:

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss

You can use Z character to get milliseconds too. For example:

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ssZ => 2017-01-25T10:29:00-0700
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' => 2017-01-25T10:28:49.549Z

Most of the time yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' is required in some APIs. It is better to know how to convert time into this format.

How do I execute external program within C code in linux with arguments?

You can use fork() and system() so that your program doesn't have to wait until system() returns.

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

int main(int argc,char* argv[]){

    int status;

    // By calling fork(), a child process will be created as a exact duplicate of the calling process.
    // Search for fork() (maybe "man fork" on Linux) for more information.
    if(fork() == 0){ 
        // Child process will return 0 from fork()
        printf("I'm the child process.\n");
        status = system("my_app");
        exit(0);
    }else{
        // Parent process will return a non-zero value from fork()
        printf("I'm the parent.\n");
    }

    printf("This is my main program and it will continue running and doing anything i want to...\n");

    return 0;
}

How to mock a final class with mockito

Actually there is one way, which I use for spying. It would work for you only if two preconditions are satisfied:

  1. You use some kind of DI to inject an instance of final class
  2. Final class implements an interface

Please recall Item 16 from Effective Java. You may create a wrapper (not final) and forward all call to the instance of final class:

public final class RainOnTrees implement IRainOnTrees {
    @Override public void startRain() { // some code here }
}

public class RainOnTreesWrapper implement IRainOnTrees {
    private IRainOnTrees delegate;
    public RainOnTreesWrapper(IRainOnTrees delegate) {this.delegate = delegate;}
    @Override public void startRain() { delegate.startRain(); }
}

Now not only can you mock your final class but also spy on it:

public class Seasons{
    RainOnTrees rain;
    public Seasons(IRainOnTrees rain) { this.rain = rain; };
    public void findSeasonAndRain(){
        rain.startRain();
   }
}

IRainOnTrees rain = spy(new RainOnTreesWrapper(new RainOnTrees()) // or mock(IRainOnTrees.class)
doNothing().when(rain).startRain();
new Seasons(rain).findSeasonAndRain();

1) copy/paste the header row of the CSV file into a txt file and edit with emacs. add a comma and CR between each field to get each on on it's own line.
2) Save that file as FieldList.txt
3) edit the file to include defns for each field (most were varchar, but quite a few were int(x). Add create table tablename ( to the beginning of the file and ) to the end of the file. Save it as CreateTable.sql
4) start mysql client with input from the Createtable.sql file to create the table
5) start mysql client, copy/paste in most of the 'LOAD DATA INFILE' command subsituting my table name and csv file name. Paste in the FieldList.txt file. Be sure to include the 'IGNORE 1 LINES' before pasting in the field list

Sounds like a lot of work, but easy with emacs.....

switch case statement error: case expressions must be constant expression

It was throwing me this error when I using switch in a function with variables declared in my class:

private void ShowCalendar(final Activity context, Point p, int type) 
{
    switch (type) {
        case type_cat:
            break;

        case type_region:
            break;

        case type_city:
            break;

        default:
            //sth
            break;
    }
}

The problem was solved when I declared final to the variables in the start of the class:

final int type_cat=1, type_region=2, type_city=3;

Executing command line programs from within python

If you're concerned about server performance then look at capping the number of running sox processes. If the cap has been hit you can always cache the request and inform the user when it's finished in whichever way suits your application.

Alternatively, have the n worker scripts on other machines that pull requests from the db and call sox, and then push the resulting output file to where it needs to be.

Rails: How can I rename a database column in a Ruby on Rails migration?

Rails 5 migration changes

eg:

rails g model Student student_name:string age:integer

if you want to change student_name column as name

Note:- if you not run rails db:migrate

You can do following steps

rails d model Student student_name:string age:integer

This will remove generated migration file, Now you can correct your column name

rails g model Student name:string age:integer

If you migrated(rails db:migrate), following options to change column name

rails g migration RemoveStudentNameFromStudent student_name:string

rails g migration AddNameToStudent name:string

Iterate over object in Angular

So I was going to implement my own helper function, objLength(obj), which returns just Object(obj).keys.length. But then when I was adding it to my template *ngIf function, my IDE suggested objectKeys(). I tried it, and it worked. Following it to its declaration, it appears to be offered by lib.es5.d.ts, so there you go!

Here's how I implemented it (I have a custom object that uses server-side generated keys as an index for files I've uploaded):

        <div *ngIf="fileList !== undefined && objectKeys(fileList).length > 0">
          <h6>Attached Files</h6>
          <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
            <tr *ngFor="let file of fileList | keyvalue">
              <td><a href="#">{{file.value['fileName']}}</a></td>
              <td class="actions">
                <a title="Delete File" (click)="deleteAFile(file.key);">
                </a>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
        </div>

SimpleXML - I/O warning : failed to load external entity

simplexml_load_file() interprets an XML file (either a file on your disk or a URL) into an object. What you have in $feed is a string.

You have two options:

  • Use file_get_contents() to get the XML feed as a string, and use e simplexml_load_string():

    $feed = file_get_contents('...');
    $items = simplexml_load_string($feed);
    
  • Load the XML feed directly using simplexml_load_file():

    $items = simplexml_load_file('...');
    

How do I set default value of select box in angularjs

As per the docs select, the following piece of code worked for me.

<select name="mySelect" id="mySelect"
  ng-options="option.name for option in data.availableOptions track by     option.id"

What tools do you use to test your public REST API?

I am using Fiddler - this is a great tool and allows you to quickly hack on previous http request amending headers / content etc.

Apart from that I am using scipts written in Python (using httplib) , as this is one of the easiest way to create integration test.

mvn clean install vs. deploy vs. release

The clean, install and deploy phases are valid lifecycle phases and invoking them will trigger all the phases preceding them, and the goals bound to these phases.

mvn clean install

This command invokes the clean phase and then the install phase sequentially:

  • clean: removes files generated at build-time in a project's directory (target by default)
  • install: installs the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally.

mvn deploy

This command invokes the deploy phase:

  • deploy: copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

mvn release

This is not a valid phase nor a goal so this won't do anything. But if refers to the Maven Release Plugin that is used to automate release management. Releasing a project is done in two steps: prepare and perform. As documented:

Preparing a release goes through the following release phases:

  • Check that there are no uncommitted changes in the sources
  • Check that there are no SNAPSHOT dependencies
  • Change the version in the POMs from x-SNAPSHOT to a new version (you will be prompted for the versions to use)
  • Transform the SCM information in the POM to include the final destination of the tag
  • Run the project tests against the modified POMs to confirm everything is in working order
  • Commit the modified POMs
  • Tag the code in the SCM with a version name (this will be prompted for)
  • Bump the version in the POMs to a new value y-SNAPSHOT (these values will also be prompted for)
  • Commit the modified POMs

And then:

Performing a release runs the following release phases:

  • Checkout from an SCM URL with optional tag
  • Run the predefined Maven goals to release the project (by default, deploy site-deploy)

starting file download with JavaScript

Why are you making server side stuff when all you need is to redirect browser to different window.location.href?

Here is code that parses ?file= QueryString (taken from this question) and redirects user to that address in 1 second (works for me even on Android browsers):

<script type="text/javascript">
    var urlParams;
    (window.onpopstate = function () {
        var match,
        pl = /\+/g,  // Regex for replacing addition symbol with a space
        search = /([^&=]+)=?([^&]*)/g,
        decode = function (s) { return decodeURIComponent(s.replace(pl, " ")); },
        query = window.location.search.substring(1);

        urlParams = {};
        while (match = search.exec(query))
            urlParams[decode(match[1])] = decode(match[2]);
    })();

    (window.onload = function() {
        var path = urlParams["file"];
        setTimeout(function() { document.location.href = path; }, 1000);
    });
</script>

If you have jQuery in your project definitely remove those window.onpopstate & window.onload handlers and do everything in $(document).ready(function () { } );

enumerate() for dictionary in python

That sure must seem confusing. So this is what is going on. The first value of enumerate (in this case i) returns the next index value starting at 0 so 0, 1, 2, 3, ... It will always return these numbers regardless of what is in the dictionary. The second value of enumerate (in this case j) is returning the values in your dictionary/enumm (we call it a dictionary in Python). What you really want to do is what roadrunner66 responded with.

How should I log while using multiprocessing in Python?

I just now wrote a log handler of my own that just feeds everything to the parent process via a pipe. I've only been testing it for ten minutes but it seems to work pretty well.

(Note: This is hardcoded to RotatingFileHandler, which is my own use case.)


Update: @javier now maintains this approach as a package available on Pypi - see multiprocessing-logging on Pypi, github at https://github.com/jruere/multiprocessing-logging


Update: Implementation!

This now uses a queue for correct handling of concurrency, and also recovers from errors correctly. I've now been using this in production for several months, and the current version below works without issue.

from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler
import multiprocessing, threading, logging, sys, traceback

class MultiProcessingLog(logging.Handler):
    def __init__(self, name, mode, maxsize, rotate):
        logging.Handler.__init__(self)

        self._handler = RotatingFileHandler(name, mode, maxsize, rotate)
        self.queue = multiprocessing.Queue(-1)

        t = threading.Thread(target=self.receive)
        t.daemon = True
        t.start()

    def setFormatter(self, fmt):
        logging.Handler.setFormatter(self, fmt)
        self._handler.setFormatter(fmt)

    def receive(self):
        while True:
            try:
                record = self.queue.get()
                self._handler.emit(record)
            except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
                raise
            except EOFError:
                break
            except:
                traceback.print_exc(file=sys.stderr)

    def send(self, s):
        self.queue.put_nowait(s)

    def _format_record(self, record):
        # ensure that exc_info and args
        # have been stringified.  Removes any chance of
        # unpickleable things inside and possibly reduces
        # message size sent over the pipe
        if record.args:
            record.msg = record.msg % record.args
            record.args = None
        if record.exc_info:
            dummy = self.format(record)
            record.exc_info = None

        return record

    def emit(self, record):
        try:
            s = self._format_record(record)
            self.send(s)
        except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
            raise
        except:
            self.handleError(record)

    def close(self):
        self._handler.close()
        logging.Handler.close(self)

Truncate Decimal number not Round Off

Try this:

decimal original = GetSomeDecimal(); // 22222.22939393
int number1 = (int)original; // contains only integer value of origina number
decimal temporary = original - number1; // contains only decimal value of original number
int decimalPlaces = GetDecimalPlaces(); // 3
temporary *= (Math.Pow(10, decimalPlaces)); // moves some decimal places to integer
temporary = (int)temporary; // removes all decimal places
temporary /= (Math.Pow(10, decimalPlaces)); // moves integer back to decimal places
decimal result = original + temporary; // add integer and decimal places together

It can be writen shorter, but this is more descriptive.

EDIT: Short way:

decimal original = GetSomeDecimal(); // 22222.22939393
int decimalPlaces = GetDecimalPlaces(); // 3
decimal result = ((int)original) + (((int)(original * Math.Pow(10, decimalPlaces)) / (Math.Pow(10, decimalPlaces));

invalid_grant trying to get oAuth token from google

There is a undocumented timeout between when you first redirect the user to the google authentication page (and get back a code), and when you take the returned code and post it to the token url. It works fine for me with the actual google supplied client_id as opposed to an "undocumented email address". I just needed to start the process again.

Deserialize JSON with C#

You need to create a structure like this:

public class Friends
{

    public List<FacebookFriend> data {get; set;}
}

public class FacebookFriend
{

    public string id {get; set;}
    public string name {get; set;}
}

Then you should be able to do:

Friends facebookFriends = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Friends>(result);

The names of my classes are just an example. You should use proper names.

Adding a sample test:

string json =
    @"{""data"":[{""id"":""518523721"",""name"":""ftyft""}, {""id"":""527032438"",""name"":""ftyftyf""}, {""id"":""527572047"",""name"":""ftgft""}, {""id"":""531141884"",""name"":""ftftft""}]}";

Friends facebookFriends = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Friends>(json);

foreach(var item in facebookFriends.data)
{
    Console.WriteLine("id: {0}, name: {1}", item.id, item.name);
}

Produces:

id: 518523721, name: ftyft
id: 527032438, name: ftyftyf
id: 527572047, name: ftgft
id: 531141884, name: ftftft

UnicodeDecodeError when reading CSV file in Pandas with Python

ini_set("memory_limit") in PHP 5.3.3 is not working at all

Works for me, has nothing to do with PHP 5.3. Just like many such options it cannot be overriden via ini_set() when safe_mode is enabled. Check your updated php.ini (and better yet: change the memory_limit there too).

Multiple "order by" in LINQ

I have created some extension methods (below) so you don't have to worry if an IQueryable is already ordered or not. If you want to order by multiple properties just do it as follows:

// We do not have to care if the queryable is already sorted or not. 
// The order of the Smart* calls defines the order priority
queryable.SmartOrderBy(i => i.Property1).SmartOrderByDescending(i => i.Property2);

This is especially helpful if you create the ordering dynamically, f.e. from a list of properties to sort.

public static class IQueryableExtension
{
    public static bool IsOrdered<T>(this IQueryable<T> queryable) {
        if(queryable == null) {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("queryable");
        }

        return queryable.Expression.Type == typeof(IOrderedQueryable<T>);
    }

    public static IQueryable<T> SmartOrderBy<T, TKey>(this IQueryable<T> queryable, Expression<Func<T, TKey>> keySelector) {
        if(queryable.IsOrdered()) {
            var orderedQuery = queryable as IOrderedQueryable<T>;
            return orderedQuery.ThenBy(keySelector);
        } else {
            return queryable.OrderBy(keySelector);
        }
    }

    public static IQueryable<T> SmartOrderByDescending<T, TKey>(this IQueryable<T> queryable, Expression<Func<T, TKey>> keySelector) {
        if(queryable.IsOrdered()) {
            var orderedQuery = queryable as IOrderedQueryable<T>;
            return orderedQuery.ThenByDescending(keySelector);
        } else {
            return queryable.OrderByDescending(keySelector);
        }
    }
}

How to convert An NSInteger to an int?

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

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

Receive result from DialogFragment

Well its too late may be to answer but here is what i did to get results back from the DialogFragment. very similar to @brandon's answer. Here i am calling DialogFragment from a fragment, just place this code where you are calling your dialog.

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
            categoryDialog.setTargetFragment(this,1);
            categoryDialog.show(fragmentManager, "dialog");

where categoryDialog is my DialogFragment which i want to call and after this in your implementation of dialogfragment place this code where you are setting your data in intent. The value of resultCode is 1 you can set it or use system Defined.

            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.putExtra("listdata", stringData);
            getTargetFragment().onActivityResult(getTargetRequestCode(), resultCode, intent);
            getDialog().dismiss();

now its time to get back to to the calling fragment and implement this method. check for data validity or result success if you want with resultCode and requestCode in if condition.

 @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);        
        //do what ever you want here, and get the result from intent like below
        String myData = data.getStringExtra("listdata");
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),data.getStringExtra("listdata"),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

PHP replacing special characters like à->a, è->e

The string $chain is in the same character encoding as the characters in the array - it's possible, even likely, that the $first_name string is in a different encoding, and so those characters don't match. You might want to try using the multibyte string functions instead.

Try mb_convert_encoding. You might also want to try using HTML_ENTITIES as the to_encoding parameter, then you don't need to worry about how the characters will get converted - it will be very predictable.

Assuming your input to this script is in UTF-8, probably not a bad place to start...

$first_name = mb_convert_encoding($first_name, "HTML-ENTITIES", "UTF-8"); 

Python: Finding differences between elements of a list

You can use itertools.tee and zip to efficiently build the result:

from itertools import tee
# python2 only:
#from itertools import izip as zip

def differences(seq):
    iterable, copied = tee(seq)
    next(copied)
    for x, y in zip(iterable, copied):
        yield y - x

Or using itertools.islice instead:

from itertools import islice

def differences(seq):
    nexts = islice(seq, 1, None)
    for x, y in zip(seq, nexts):
        yield y - x

You can also avoid using the itertools module:

def differences(seq):
    iterable = iter(seq)
    prev = next(iterable)
    for element in iterable:
        yield element - prev
        prev = element

All these solution work in constant space if you don't need to store all the results and support infinite iterables.


Here are some micro-benchmarks of the solutions:

In [12]: L = range(10**6)

In [13]: from collections import deque
In [15]: %timeit deque(differences_tee(L), maxlen=0)
10 loops, best of 3: 122 ms per loop

In [16]: %timeit deque(differences_islice(L), maxlen=0)
10 loops, best of 3: 127 ms per loop

In [17]: %timeit deque(differences_no_it(L), maxlen=0)
10 loops, best of 3: 89.9 ms per loop

And the other proposed solutions:

In [18]: %timeit [x[1] - x[0] for x in zip(L[1:], L)]
10 loops, best of 3: 163 ms per loop

In [19]: %timeit [L[i+1]-L[i] for i in range(len(L)-1)]
1 loops, best of 3: 395 ms per loop

In [20]: import numpy as np

In [21]: %timeit np.diff(L)
1 loops, best of 3: 479 ms per loop

In [35]: %%timeit
    ...: res = []
    ...: for i in range(len(L) - 1):
    ...:     res.append(L[i+1] - L[i])
    ...: 
1 loops, best of 3: 234 ms per loop

Note that:

  • zip(L[1:], L) is equivalent to zip(L[1:], L[:-1]) since zip already terminates on the shortest input, however it avoids a whole copy of L.
  • Accessing the single elements by index is very slow because every index access is a method call in python
  • numpy.diff is slow because it has to first convert the list to a ndarray. Obviously if you start with an ndarray it will be much faster:

    In [22]: arr = np.array(L)
    
    In [23]: %timeit np.diff(arr)
    100 loops, best of 3: 3.02 ms per loop
    

scp or sftp copy multiple files with single command

Problem: Copying multiple directories from remote server to local machine using a single SCP command and retaining each directory as it is in the remote server.

Solution: SCP can do this easily. This solves the annoying problem of entering password multiple times when using SCP with multiple folders. Consequently, this also saves a lot of time!

e.g.

# copies folders t1, t2, t3 from `test` to your local working directory
# note that there shouldn't be any space in between the folder names;
# we also escape the braces.

How to get File Created Date and Modified Date

You can do that using FileInfo class:

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo("path");
var created = fi.CreationTime;
var lastmodified = fi.LastWriteTime;

How to Programmatically Add Views to Views

One more way to add view from Activity

ViewGroup rootLayout = findViewById(android.R.id.content);
rootLayout.addView(view);

Remove non-ASCII characters from CSV

I appreciate the tips I found on this site.

But, on my Windows 10, I had to use double quotes for this to work ...

sed -i "s/[\d128-\d255]//g" FILENAME

Noticed these things ...

  1. For FILENAME the entire path\name needs to be quoted This didn't work -- %TEMP%\"FILENAME" This did -- %TEMP%\FILENAME"

  2. sed leaves behind temp files in the current directory, named sed*

Intersection and union of ArrayLists in Java

The solution marked is not efficient. It has a O(n^2) time complexity. What we can do is to sort both lists, and the execute an intersection algorithm as the one below.

private  static ArrayList<Integer> interesect(ArrayList<Integer> f, ArrayList<Integer> s) { 
    ArrayList<Integer> res = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    int i = 0, j = 0; 
    while (i != f.size() && j != s.size()) { 

        if (f.get(i) < s.get(j)) {
            i ++;
        } else if (f.get(i) > s.get(j)) { 
            j ++;
        } else { 
            res.add(f.get(i)); 
            i ++;  j ++;
        }
    }


    return res; 
}

This one has a complexity of O(n log n + n) which is in O(n log n). The union is done in a similar manner. Just make sure you make the suitable modifications on the if-elseif-else statements.

You can also use iterators if you want (I know they are more efficient in C++, I dont know if this is true in Java as well).

How to extract extension from filename string in Javascript?

Better to use the following; Works always!

var ext =  fileName.split('.').pop();

This will return the extension without a dot prefix. You can add "." + ext to check against the extensions you wish to support!

How does HTTP_USER_AGENT work?

The user agent string is a text that the browsers themselves send to the webserver to identify themselves, so that websites can send different content based on the browser or based on browser compatibility.

Mozilla is a browser rendering engine (the one at the core of Firefox) and the fact that Chrome and IE contain the string Mozilla/4 or /5 identifies them as being compatible with that rendering engine.

Find the paths between two given nodes?

Dijkstra's algorithm applies more to weighted paths and it sounds like the poster was wanting to find all paths, not just the shortest.

For this application, I'd build a graph (your application sounds like it wouldn't need to be directed) and use your favorite search method. It sounds like you want all paths, not just a guess at the shortest one, so use a simple recursive algorithm of your choice.

The only problem with this is if the graph can be cyclic.

With the connections:

  • 1, 2
  • 1, 3
  • 2, 3
  • 2, 4

While looking for a path from 1->4, you could have a cycle of 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1.

In that case, then I'd keep a stack as traversing the nodes. Here's a list with the steps for that graph and the resulting stack (sorry for the formatting - no table option):

current node (possible next nodes minus where we came from) [stack]

  1. 1 (2, 3) [1]
  2. 2 (3, 4) [1, 2]
  3. 3 (1) [1, 2, 3]
  4. 1 (2, 3) [1, 2, 3, 1] //error - duplicate number on the stack - cycle detected
  5. 3 () [1, 2, 3] // back-stepped to node three and popped 1 off the stack. No more nodes to explore from here
  6. 2 (4) [1, 2] // back-stepped to node 2 and popped 1 off the stack.
  7. 4 () [1, 2, 4] // Target node found - record stack for a path. No more nodes to explore from here
  8. 2 () [1, 2] //back-stepped to node 2 and popped 4 off the stack. No more nodes to explore from here
  9. 1 (3) [1] //back-stepped to node 1 and popped 2 off the stack.
  10. 3 (2) [1, 3]
  11. 2 (1, 4) [1, 3, 2]
  12. 1 (2, 3) [1, 3, 2, 1] //error - duplicate number on the stack - cycle detected
  13. 2 (4) [1, 3, 2] //back-stepped to node 2 and popped 1 off the stack
  14. 4 () [1, 3, 2, 4] Target node found - record stack for a path. No more nodes to explore from here
  15. 2 () [1, 3, 2] //back-stepped to node 2 and popped 4 off the stack. No more nodes
  16. 3 () [1, 3] // back-stepped to node 3 and popped 2 off the stack. No more nodes
  17. 1 () [1] // back-stepped to node 1 and popped 3 off the stack. No more nodes
  18. Done with 2 recorded paths of [1, 2, 4] and [1, 3, 2, 4]

How can I send and receive WebSocket messages on the server side?

JavaScript implementation:

function encodeWebSocket(bytesRaw){
    var bytesFormatted = new Array();
    bytesFormatted[0] = 129;
    if (bytesRaw.length <= 125) {
        bytesFormatted[1] = bytesRaw.length;
    } else if (bytesRaw.length >= 126 && bytesRaw.length <= 65535) {
        bytesFormatted[1] = 126;
        bytesFormatted[2] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 8 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[3] = ( bytesRaw.length      ) & 255;
    } else {
        bytesFormatted[1] = 127;
        bytesFormatted[2] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 56 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[3] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 48 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[4] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 40 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[5] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 32 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[6] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 24 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[7] = ( bytesRaw.length >> 16 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[8] = ( bytesRaw.length >>  8 ) & 255;
        bytesFormatted[9] = ( bytesRaw.length       ) & 255;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < bytesRaw.length; i++){
        bytesFormatted.push(bytesRaw.charCodeAt(i));
    }
    return bytesFormatted;
}

function decodeWebSocket (data){
    var datalength = data[1] & 127;
    var indexFirstMask = 2;
    if (datalength == 126) {
        indexFirstMask = 4;
    } else if (datalength == 127) {
        indexFirstMask = 10;
    }
    var masks = data.slice(indexFirstMask,indexFirstMask + 4);
    var i = indexFirstMask + 4;
    var index = 0;
    var output = "";
    while (i < data.length) {
        output += String.fromCharCode(data[i++] ^ masks[index++ % 4]);
    }
    return output;
}

ProcessBuilder: Forwarding stdout and stderr of started processes without blocking the main thread

Simple java8 solution with capturing both outputs and reactive processing using CompletableFuture:

static CompletableFuture<String> readOutStream(InputStream is) {
    return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
        try (
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
        ){
            StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                res.append(inputLine).append(System.lineSeparator());
            }
            return res.toString();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("problem with executing program", e);
        }
    });
}

And the usage:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
CompletableFuture<String> soutFut = readOutStream(p.getInputStream());
CompletableFuture<String> serrFut = readOutStream(p.getErrorStream());
CompletableFuture<String> resultFut = soutFut.thenCombine(serrFut, (stdout, stderr) -> {
         // print to current stderr the stderr of process and return the stdout
        System.err.println(stderr);
        return stdout;
        });
// get stdout once ready, blocking
String result = resultFut.get();

Print specific part of webpage

You would have to open a new window(or navigate to a new page) containing just the information you wish the user to be able to print

Javscript:

function printInfo(ele) {
    var openWindow = window.open("", "title", "attributes");
    openWindow.document.write(ele.previousSibling.innerHTML);
    openWindow.document.close();
    openWindow.focus();
    openWindow.print();
    openWindow.close();
}

HTML:

<div id="....">
    <div>
        content to print
    </div><a href="#" onclick="printInfo(this)">Print</a>
</div>

A few notes here: the anchor must NOT have whitespace between it and the div containing the content to print

Align DIV's to bottom or baseline

this works (i only tested ie & ff):

<html>
<head>
    <style type="text/css">
        #parent {
            height: 300px;
            width: 300px;
            background-color: #ccc;
            border: 1px solid red;
            position: relative;
        }
        #child  {
            height: 100px;
            width: 30px;
            background-color: #eee;
            border: 1px solid green;
            position: absolute;
            bottom: 0;
            left: 0;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="parent">parent
        <div id="child">child</div>
    </div>
    outside
</body>
</html>

hope that helps.

PostgreSQL: Drop PostgreSQL database through command line

When it says users are connected, what does the query "select * from pg_stat_activity;" say? Are the other users besides yourself now connected? If so, you might have to edit your pg_hba.conf file to reject connections from other users, or shut down whatever app is accessing the pg database to be able to drop it. I have this problem on occasion in production. Set pg_hba.conf to have a two lines like this:

local   all         all                               ident
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          reject

and tell pgsql to reload or restart (i.e. either sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql reload or pg_ctl reload) and now the only way to connect to your machine is via local sockets. I'm assuming you're on linux. If not this may need to be tweaked to something other than local / ident on that first line, to something like host ... yourusername.

Now you should be able to do:

psql postgres
drop database mydatabase;

Use Async/Await with Axios in React.js

Async/Await with axios 

  useEffect(() => {     
    const getData = async () => {  
      await axios.get('your_url')  
      .then(res => {  
        console.log(res)  
      })  
      .catch(err => {  
        console.log(err)  
      });  
    }  
    getData()  
  }, [])

No Creators, like default construct, exist): cannot deserialize from Object value (no delegate- or property-based Creator

My cause of issue seems very uncommon to me, not sure if anybody else gets the error under same condition, I found the cause by diffing previous commits, here you go :

Via my build.gradle I was using these 2 compiler options, and commenting out this line fixed the issue

//compileJava.options.compilerArgs = ['-Xlint:unchecked','-Xlint:deprecation']

How to fix height of TR?

Try putting the height into one of the cells, like this:

<table class="tableContainer" cellspacing="10px">
 <tr>
  <td style="height:15px;">NHS Number</td>
  <td>&#160;</td>

Note however, that you won't be able to make the cell smaller than the content requires it to be. In that case you would have to make the text smaller first.

Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

Coroutine will do it perfectly

CoroutineScope(Job() + Dispatchers.Main).launch {
                        Toast.makeText(context, "yourmessage",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()}

Can't get ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript in WebControl nested in UpdatePanel to work

I had an issue with Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartUpScript - I wasn't using an update panel, but the control was cached. This meant that I had to insert the script into a Literal (or could use a PlaceHolder) so when rendered from the cache the script is included.

A similar solution might work for you.

Prevent a webpage from navigating away using JavaScript

If you are catching a browser back/forward button and don't want to navigate away, you can use:

window.addEventListener('popstate', function() {
    if (window.location.origin !== 'http://example.com') {
        // Do something if not your domain
    } else if (window.location.href === 'http://example.com/sign-in/step-1') {
        window.history.go(2); // Skip the already-signed-in pages if the forward button was clicked
    } else if (window.location.href === 'http://example.com/sign-in/step-2') {
        window.history.go(-2); // Skip the already-signed-in pages if the back button was clicked
    } else {
        // Let it do its thing
    }
});

Otherwise, you can use the beforeunload event, but the message may or may not work cross-browser, and requires returning something that forces a built-in prompt.

Embed website into my site

You can embed websites into another website using the <embed> tag, like so:

<embed src="http://www.example.com" style="width:500px; height: 300px;">

You can change the height, width, and URL to suit your needs.

The <embed> tag is the most up-to-date way to embed websites, as it was introduced with HTML5.

fs: how do I locate a parent folder?

You can use

path.join(__dirname, '../..');

How to delete a workspace in Perforce (using p4v)?

From the "View" menu, select "Workspaces". You'll see all of the workspaces you've created. Select the workspaces you want to delete and click "Edit" -> "Delete Workspace", or right-click and select "Delete Workspace". If the workspace is "locked" to prevent changes, you'll get an error message.

To unlock the workspace, click "Edit" (or right-click and click "Edit Workspace") to pull up the workspace editor, uncheck the "locked" checkbox, and save your changes. You can delete the workspace once it's unlocked.

In my experience, the workspace will continue to be shown in the drop-down list until you click on it, at which point p4v will figure out you've deleted it and remove it from the list.

Group dataframe and get sum AND count?

If you have lots of columns and only one is different you could do:

In[1]: grouper = df.groupby('Company Name')
In[2]: res = grouper.count()
In[3]: res['Amount'] = grouper.Amount.sum()
In[4]: res
Out[4]:
                      Organisation Name   Amount
Company Name                                   
Vifor Pharma UK Ltd                  5  4207.93

Note you can then rename the Organisation Name column as you wish.

How do I compute the intersection point of two lines?

img And You can use this kode

class Nokta:
def __init__(self,x,y):
    self.x=x
    self.y=y             
class Dogru:
def __init__(self,a,b):
    self.a=a
    self.b=b        

def Kesisim(self,Dogru_b):
    x1= self.a.x
    x2=self.b.x
    x3=Dogru_b.a.x
    x4=Dogru_b.b.x
    y1= self.a.y
    y2=self.b.y
    y3=Dogru_b.a.y
    y4=Dogru_b.b.y                          
    #Notlardaki denklemleri kullandim
    pay1=((x4 - x3) * (y1 - y3) - (y4 - y3) * (x1 - x3))      
    pay2=((x2-x1) * (y1 - y3) - (y2 - y1) * (x1 - x3))
    payda=((y4 - y3) *(x2-x1)-(x4 - x3)*(y2 - y1))        

    if pay1==0 and pay2==0 and payda==0:
        print("DOGRULAR BIRBIRINE ÇAKISIKTIR")

    elif payda==0:               
        print("DOGRULAR BIRBIRNE PARALELDIR")        
    else:                               
        ua=pay1/payda if payda else 0                   
        ub=pay2/payda  if payda else 0  
        #x ve y buldum 
        x=x1+ua*(x2-x1) 
        y=y1+ua*(y2-y1)
        print("DOGRULAR {},{} NOKTASINDA KESISTI".format(x,y))

How can I match on an attribute that contains a certain string?

Here's an example that finds div elements whose className contains atag:

//div[contains(@class, 'atag')]

Here's an example that finds div elements whose className contains atag and btag:

//div[contains(@class, 'atag') and contains(@class ,'btag')]

However, it will also find partial matches like class="catag bobtag".

If you don't want partial matches, see bobince's answer below.

Error: Cannot find module html

I am assuming that test.html is a static file.To render static files use the static middleware like so.

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

This tells express to look for static files in the public directory of the application.

Once you have specified this simply point your browser to the location of the file and it should display.

If however you want to render the views then you have to use the appropriate renderer for it.The list of renderes is defined in consolidate.Once you have decided which library to use just install it.I use mustache so here is a snippet of my config file

var engines = require('consolidate');

app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.engine('html', engines.mustache);
app.set('view engine', 'html');

What this does is tell express to

  • look for files to render in views directory

  • Render the files using mustache

  • The extension of the file is .html(you can use .mustache too)
