AngularJS - Binding radio buttons to models with boolean values

The way your radios are set up in the fiddle - sharing the same model - will cause only the last group to show a checked radio if you decide to quote all of the truthy values. A more solid approach will involve giving the individual groups their own model, and set the value as a unique attribute of the radios, such as the id:

$scope.radioMod = 1;
$scope.radioMod2 = 2;

Here is a representation of the new html:

<label data-ng-repeat="choice2 in question2.choices">
            <input type="radio" name="response2" data-ng-model="radioMod2" value="{{choice2.id}}"/>
                {{choice2.text}}
        </label>

And a fiddle.

'and' (boolean) vs '&' (bitwise) - Why difference in behavior with lists vs numpy arrays?

For the first example and base on the django's doc
It will always return the second list, indeed a non empty list is see as a True value for Python thus python return the 'last' True value so the second list

In [74]: mylist1 = [False]
In [75]: mylist2 = [False, True, False,  True, False]
In [76]: mylist1 and mylist2
Out[76]: [False, True, False, True, False]
In [77]: mylist2 and mylist1
Out[77]: [False]

How to stop an unstoppable zombie job on Jenkins without restarting the server?

I've looked at the Jenkins source and it appears that what I'm trying to do is impossible, because stopping a job appears to be done via a Thread interrupt. I have no idea why the job is hanging though..

Edit:

Possible reasons for unstoppable jobs:

  • if Jenkins is stuck in an infinite loop, it can never be aborted.
  • if Jenkins is doing a network or file I/O within the Java VM (such as lengthy file copy or SVN update), it cannot be aborted.

How to grep for two words existing on the same line?

The main issue is that you haven't supplied the first grep with any input. You will need to reorder your command something like

grep "word1" logs | grep "word2"

If you want to count the occurences, then put a '-c' on the second grep.

How do I force a favicon refresh?

For Internet Explorer, there is another solution:

  1. Open internet explorer.
  2. Click menu > tools > internet options.
  3. Click general > temporary internet files > "settings" button.
  4. Click "view files" button.
  5. Find your old favicon.ico file and delete it.
  6. Restart browser(internet explorer).

Difference between CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC?

There's one big difference between CLOCK_REALTIME and MONOTONIC. CLOCK_REALTIME can jump forward or backward according to NTP. By default, NTP allows the clock rate to be speeded up or slowed down by up to 0.05%, but NTP cannot cause the monotonic clock to jump forward or backward.

How can I get an int from stdio in C?

The solution is quite simple ... you're reading getchar() which gives you the first character in the input buffer, and scanf just parsed it (really don't know why) to an integer, if you just forget the getchar for a second, it will read the full buffer until a newline char.

printf("> ");
int x;
scanf("%d", &x);
printf("got the number: %d", x);

Outputs

> [prompt expecting input, lets write:] 1234 [Enter]
got the number: 1234

The import com.google.android.gms cannot be resolved

I checked off Google API as project build target.

That is irrelevant, as that is for Maps V1, and you are trying to use Maps V2.

I included .jar file for maps by right-clicking on my project, went to build path and added external archive locating it in my SDK: android-sdk-windows\add-ons\addon_google_apis_google_inc_8\libs\maps

This is doubly wrong.

First, never manually modify the build path in an Android project. If you are doing that, at best, you will crash at runtime, because the JAR you think you put in your project (via the manual build path change) is not in your APK. For an ordinary third-party JAR, put it in the libs/ directory of your project, which will add it to your build path automatically and add its contents to your APK file.

However, Maps V2 is not a JAR. It is an Android library project that contains a JAR. You need the whole library project.

You need to import the android-sdk-windows\add-ons\addon_google_apis_google_inc_8 project into Eclipse, then add it to your app as a reference to an Android library project.

Set a button group's width to 100% and make buttons equal width?

For bootstrap 4 just add this class:

w-100

Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 3 commits

Came across this issue after I merged a pull request on Bitbucket.

Had to do

git fetch

and that was it.

Python loop for inside lambda

If you are like me just want to print a sequence within a lambda, without get the return value (list of None).

x = range(3)
from __future__ import print_function           # if not python 3
pra = lambda seq=x: map(print,seq) and None     # pra for 'print all'
pra()
pra('abc')

Which command do I use to generate the build of a Vue app?

I think you've created your project like this:

vue init webpack myproject

Well, now you can run

npm run build

Copy index.html and /dist/ folder into your website root directory. Done.

Compare two files report difference in python

import difflib
f=open('a.txt','r')  #open a file
f1=open('b.txt','r') #open another file to compare
str1=f.read()
str2=f1.read()
str1=str1.split()  #split the words in file by default through the spce
str2=str2.split()
d=difflib.Differ()     # compare and just print
diff=list(d.compare(str2,str1))
print '\n'.join(diff)

Java how to sort a Linked List?

Elegant solution since JAVA 8:

LinkedList<String>list = new LinkedList<String>();
list.add("abc");
list.add("Bcd");
list.add("aAb");

list.sort(String::compareToIgnoreCase);

Another option would be using lambda expressions:

list.sort((o1, o2) -> o1.compareToIgnoreCase(o2));

Get current cursor position

You get the cursor position by calling GetCursorPos.

POINT p;
if (GetCursorPos(&p))
{
    //cursor position now in p.x and p.y
}

This returns the cursor position relative to screen coordinates. Call ScreenToClient to map to window coordinates.

if (ScreenToClient(hwnd, &p))
{
    //p.x and p.y are now relative to hwnd's client area
}

You hide and show the cursor with ShowCursor.

ShowCursor(FALSE);//hides the cursor
ShowCursor(TRUE);//shows it again

You must ensure that every call to hide the cursor is matched by one that shows it again.

How do you do dynamic / dependent drop downs in Google Sheets?

Here you have another solution based on the one provided by @tarheel

function onEdit() {
    var sheetWithNestedSelectsName = "Sitemap";
    var columnWithNestedSelectsRoot = 1;
    var sheetWithOptionPossibleValuesSuffix = "TabSections";

    var activeSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    var activeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();

    // If we're not in the sheet with nested selects, exit!
    if ( activeSheet.getName() != sheetWithNestedSelectsName ) {
        return;
    }

    var activeCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();

    // If we're not in the root column or a content row, exit!
    if ( activeCell.getColumn() != columnWithNestedSelectsRoot || activeCell.getRow() < 2 ) {
        return;
    }

    var sheetWithActiveOptionPossibleValues = activeSpreadsheet.getSheetByName( activeCell.getValue() + sheetWithOptionPossibleValuesSuffix );

    // Get all possible values
    var activeOptionPossibleValues = sheetWithActiveOptionPossibleValues.getSheetValues( 1, 1, -1, 1 );

    var possibleValuesValidation = SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation();
    possibleValuesValidation.setAllowInvalid( false );
    possibleValuesValidation.requireValueInList( activeOptionPossibleValues, true );

    activeSheet.getRange( activeCell.getRow(), activeCell.getColumn() + 1 ).setDataValidation( possibleValuesValidation.build() );
}

It has some benefits over the other approach:

  • You don't need to edit the script every time you add a "root option". You only have to create a new sheet with the nested options of this root option.
  • I've refactored the script providing more semantic names for the variables and so on. Furthermore, I've extracted some parameters to variables in order to make it easier to adapt to your specific case. You only have to set the first 3 values.
  • There's no limit of nested option values (I've used the getSheetValues method with the -1 value).

So, how to use it:

  1. Create the sheet where you'll have the nested selectors
  2. Go to the "Tools" > "Script Editor…" and select the "Blank project" option
  3. Paste the code attached to this answer
  4. Modify the first 3 variables of the script setting up your values and save it
  5. Create one sheet within this same document for each possible value of the "root selector". They must be named as the value + the specified suffix.

Enjoy!

How do you declare string constants in C?

One advantage (albeit very slight) of defining string constants is that you can concatenate them at compile time:

#define HELLO "hello"
#define WORLD "world"

puts( HELLO WORLD );

Not sure that's really an advantage, but it is a technique that cannot be used with const char *'s.

Message Queue vs. Web Services?

Message queues are ideal for requests which may take a long time to process. Requests are queued and can be processed offline without blocking the client. If the client needs to be notified of completion, you can provide a way for the client to periodically check the status of the request.

Message queues also allow you to scale better across time. It improves your ability to handle bursts of heavy activity, because the actual processing can be distributed across time.

Note that message queues and web services are orthogonal concepts, i.e. they are not mutually exclusive. E.g. you can have a XML based web service which acts as an interface to a message queue. I think the distinction your looking for is Message Queues versus Request/Response, the latter is when the request is processed synchronously.

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

ISO standard C++ doesn't let you do this. If it did, the syntax would probably be:

a::a(void) :
b({2,3})
{
    // other initialization stuff
}

Or something along those lines. From your question it actually sounds like what you want is a constant class (aka static) member that is the array. C++ does let you do this. Like so:

#include <iostream>

class A 
{
public:
    A();
    static const int a[2];
};

const int A::a[2] = {0, 1};

A::A()
{
}

int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) 
{
    std::cout << "A::a => " << A::a[0] << ", " << A::a[1] << "\n";
    return 0;
}

The output being:

A::a => 0, 1

Now of course since this is a static class member it is the same for every instance of class A. If that is not what you want, ie you want each instance of A to have different element values in the array a then you're making the mistake of trying to make the array const to begin with. You should just be doing this:

#include <iostream>

class A 
{
public:
    A();
    int a[2];
};

A::A()
{
    a[0] = 9; // or some calculation
    a[1] = 10; // or some calculation
}

int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) 
{
    A v;
    std::cout << "v.a => " << v.a[0] << ", " << v.a[1] << "\n";
    return 0;
}

Is it safe to delete a NULL pointer?

I have experienced that it is not safe (VS2010) to delete[] NULL (i.e. array syntax). I'm not sure whether this is according to the C++ standard.

It is safe to delete NULL (scalar syntax).

"TypeError: (Integer) is not JSON serializable" when serializing JSON in Python?

as @JAC pointed out in the comments of the highest rated answer, the generic solution (for all numpy types) can be found in the thread Converting numpy dtypes to native python types.

Nevertheless, I´ll add my version of the solution below, as my in my case I needed a generic solution that combines these answers and with the answers of the other thread. This should work with almost all numpy types.

def convert(o):
    if isinstance(o, np.generic): return o.item()  
    raise TypeError

json.dumps({'value': numpy.int64(42)}, default=convert)

What is the best alternative IDE to Visual Studio

For .NET development, VS2008 is the best but if you want to check for another best IDE, Eclipse probably the best after VS if you are rating it among the IDEs, ofcourse you cant do .NET development in Eclipse though

Java Process with Input/Output Stream

You have writer.close(); in your code. So bash receives EOF on its stdin and exits. Then you get Broken pipe when trying to read from the stdoutof the defunct bash.

How do I select last 5 rows in a table without sorting?

This is just about the most bizarre query I've ever written, but I'm pretty sure it gets the "last 5" rows from a table without ordering:

select * 
from issues
where issueid not in (
    select top (
        (select count(*) from issues) - 5
    ) issueid
    from issues
)

Note that this makes use of SQL Server 2005's ability to pass a value into the "top" clause - it doesn't work on SQL Server 2000.

How to .gitignore all files/folder in a folder, but not the folder itself?

Put this .gitignore into the folder, then git add .gitignore.

*
*/
!.gitignore

The * line tells git to ignore all files in the folder, but !.gitignore tells git to still include the .gitignore file. This way, your local repository and any other clones of the repository all get both the empty folder and the .gitignore it needs.

Edit: May be obvious but also add */ to the .gitignore to also ignore subfolders.

How to create a List with a dynamic object type

It appears you might be a bit confused as to how the .Add method works. I will refer directly to your code in my explanation.

Basically in C#, the .Add method of a List of objects does not COPY new added objects into the list, it merely copies a reference to the object (it's address) into the List. So the reason every value in the list is pointing to the same value is because you've only created 1 new DyObj. So your list essentially looks like this.

DyObjectsList[0] = &DyObj; // pointing to DyObj
DyObjectsList[1] = &DyObj; // pointing to the same DyObj
DyObjectsList[2] = &DyObj; // pointing to the same DyObj

...

The easiest way to fix your code is to create a new DyObj for every .Add. Putting the new inside of the block with the .Add would accomplish this goal in this particular instance.

var DyObjectsList = new List<dynamic>; 
if (condition1) { 
    dynamic DyObj = new ExpandoObject(); 
    DyObj.Required = true; 
    DyObj.Message = "Message 1"; 
    DyObjectsList .Add(DyObj); 
} 
if (condition2) { 
    dynamic DyObj = new ExpandoObject(); 
    DyObj.Required = false; 
    DyObj.Message = "Message 2"; 
    DyObjectsList .Add(DyObj); 
} 

your resulting List essentially looks like this

DyObjectsList[0] = &DyObj0; // pointing to a DyObj
DyObjectsList[1] = &DyObj1; // pointing to a different DyObj
DyObjectsList[2] = &DyObj2; // pointing to another DyObj

Now in some other languages this approach wouldn't work, because as you leave the block, the objects declared in the scope of the block could go out of scope and be destroyed. Thus you would be left with a collection of pointers, pointing to garbage.

However in C#, if a reference to the new DyObjs exists when you leave the block (and they do exist in your List because of the .Add operation) then C# does not release the memory associated with that pointer. Therefore the Objects you created in that block persist and your List contains pointers to valid objects and your code works.

Read url to string in few lines of java code

URL to String in pure Java

Example call

 String str = getStringFromUrl("YourUrl");

Implementation

You can use the method described in this answer, on How to read URL to an InputStream and combine it with this answer on How to read InputStream to String.

The outcome will be something like

public String getStringFromUrl(URL url) throws IOException {
        return inputStreamToString(urlToInputStream(url,null));
}

public String inputStreamToString(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
    try(ByteArrayOutputStream result = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length;
        while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
            result.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }

        return result.toString(UTF_8);
    }
}

private InputStream urlToInputStream(URL url, Map<String, String> args) {
    HttpURLConnection con = null;
    InputStream inputStream = null;
    try {
        con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        con.setConnectTimeout(15000);
        con.setReadTimeout(15000);
        if (args != null) {
            for (Entry<String, String> e : args.entrySet()) {
                con.setRequestProperty(e.getKey(), e.getValue());
            }
        }
        con.connect();
        int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
        /* By default the connection will follow redirects. The following
         * block is only entered if the implementation of HttpURLConnection
         * does not perform the redirect. The exact behavior depends to 
         * the actual implementation (e.g. sun.net).
         * !!! Attention: This block allows the connection to 
         * switch protocols (e.g. HTTP to HTTPS), which is <b>not</b> 
         * default behavior. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1884230 
         * for more info!!!
         */
        if (responseCode < 400 && responseCode > 299) {
            String redirectUrl = con.getHeaderField("Location");
            try {
                URL newUrl = new URL(redirectUrl);
                return urlToInputStream(newUrl, args);
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                URL newUrl = new URL(url.getProtocol() + "://" + url.getHost() + redirectUrl);
                return urlToInputStream(newUrl, args);
            }
        }
        /*!!!!!*/

        inputStream = con.getInputStream();
        return inputStream;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

Pros

  • It is pure java

  • It can be easily enhanced by adding different headers (instead of passing a null object, like the example above does), authentication, etc.

  • Handling of protocol switches is supported

File Permissions and CHMOD: How to set 777 in PHP upon file creation?

You just need to manually set the desired permissions with chmod():

private function writeFileContent($file, $content){
    $fp = fopen($file, 'w');
    fwrite($fp, $content);
    fclose($fp);

    // Set perms with chmod()
    chmod($file, 0777);
    return true;
}

How to retrieve the current value of an oracle sequence without increment it?

This is not an answer, really and I would have entered it as a comment had the question not been locked. This answers the question:

Why would you want it?

Assume you have a table with the sequence as the primary key and the sequence is generated by an insert trigger. If you wanted to have the sequence available for subsequent updates to the record, you need to have a way to extract that value.

In order to make sure you get the right one, you might want to wrap the INSERT and RonK's query in a transaction.

RonK's Query:

select MY_SEQ_NAME.currval from DUAL;

In the above scenario, RonK's caveat does not apply since the insert and update would happen in the same session.

How to get all the AD groups for a particular user?

If you have a LDAP connection with a username and password to connect to Active Directory, here is the code I used to connect properly:

using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;

// ...

// Connection information
var connectionString = "LDAP://domain.com/DC=domain,DC=com";
var connectionUsername = "your_ad_username";
var connectionPassword = "your_ad_password";

// Get groups for this user
var username = "myusername";

// Split the LDAP Uri
var uri = new Uri(connectionString);
var host = uri.Host;
var container = uri.Segments.Count() >=1 ? uri.Segments[1] : "";

// Create context to connect to AD
var princContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, host, container, connectionUsername, connectionPassword);

// Get User
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(princContext, IdentityType.SamAccountName, username);

// Browse user's groups
foreach (GroupPrincipal group in user.GetGroups())
{
    Console.Out.WriteLine(group.Name);
}

How do I get rid of the b-prefix in a string in python?

You need to decode it to convert it to a string. Check the answer here about bytes literal in python3.

In [1]: b'I posted a new photo to Facebook'.decode('utf-8')
Out[1]: 'I posted a new photo to Facebook'

In C#, why is String a reference type that behaves like a value type?

In a very simple words any value which has a definite size can be treated as a value type.

PySpark 2.0 The size or shape of a DataFrame

I think there is not similar function like data.shape in Spark. But I will use len(data.columns) rather than len(data.dtypes)

GSON throwing "Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY"?

I am not sure if this is the best way to use GSON, but works for me. You can use some like this on the MainActivity:

 public void readJson() {
    dataArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
    String json = "[\n" + IOHelper.getData(this) + "\n]\n";
    Log.d(TAG, json);
    try{
        JSONArray channelSearchEnums = new JSONArray(json);

        for(int i=0; i< channelSearchEnums.length(); i++)
        {
            JSONObject enum = channelSearchEnums.getJSONObject(i);
            ChannelSearchEnum channel = new ChannelSearchEnum(
                   enum.getString("updated_at"), enum.getString("fetched_at"),
                   enum.getString("description"), enum.getString("language"),
                   enum.getString("title"), enum.getString("url"),
                   enum.getString("icon_url"), enum.getString("logo_url"),
                   enum.getString("id"), enum.getString("modified"))         

                   dataArrayList.add(channel);
        }

         //The code and place you want to show your data            

    }catch (Exception e)
    {
        Log.d(TAG, e.getLocalizedMessage());
    }
}

You only have strings, but if you would have doubles or int, you could put getDouble or getInt too.

The method of IOHelper class is the next (Here, the path is save on the internal Storage):

 public static String getData(Context context) {
    try {
        File f = new File(context.getFilesDir().getPath() + "/" + fileName);
        //check whether file exists
        FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(f);
        int size = is.available();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
        is.read(buffer);
        is.close();
        return new String(buffer);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("TAG", "Error in Reading: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
        return null;
    }
}

If you want more information about this, you can see this video, where I get the code of readJson(); and this thread where I get the code of getData().

How does inline Javascript (in HTML) work?

You've got it nearly correct, but you haven't accounted for the this value supplied to the inline code.

<a href="#" onclick="alert(this)">Click Me</a>

is actually closer to:

<a href="#" id="click_me">Click Me</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('click_me').addEventListener("click", function(event) {
    (function(event) {
        alert(this);
    }).call(document.getElementById('click_me'), event);
});
</script>

Inline event handlers set this equal to the target of the event. You can also use anonymous function in inline script

<a href="#" onclick="(function(){alert(this);})()">Click Me</a>

Best regrads,

Find Active Tab using jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap

Here is the answer for those of you who need a Boostrap 3 solution.

In bootstrap 3 use 'shown.bs.tab' instead of 'shown' in the next line

// tab
$('#rowTab a:first').tab('show');

$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
//show selected tab / active
 console.log ( $(e.target).attr('id') );
});

Checking on a thread / remove from list

Better way is to use Queue class: http://docs.python.org/library/queue.html

Look at the good example code in the bottom of documentation page:

def worker():
    while True:

        do_work(item)
        q.task_done()

q = Queue()

Handling very large numbers in Python

The python interpreter will handle it for you, you just have to do your operations (+, -, *, /), and it will work as normal.

The int value is unlimited.

Careful when doing division, by default the quotient is turned into float, but float does not support such large numbers. If you get an error message saying float does not support such large numbers, then it means the quotient is too large to be stored in float you’ll have to use floor division (//).

It ignores any decimal that comes after the decimal point, this way, the result will be int, so you can have a large number result.

>>>10//3
3

>>>10//4

Foreign key referring to primary keys across multiple tables?

I know this is long stagnant topic, but in case anyone searches here is how I deal with multi table foreign keys. With this technique you do not have any DBA enforced cascade operations, so please make sure you deal with DELETE and such in your code.

Get an element by index in jQuery

There is another way of getting an element by index in jQuery using CSS :nth-of-type pseudo-class:

<script>
    // css selector that describes what you need:
    // ul li:nth-of-type(3)
    var selector = 'ul li:nth-of-type(' + index + ')';
    $(selector).css({'background-color':'#343434'});
</script>

There are other selectors that you may use with jQuery to match any element that you need.

How to check "hasRole" in Java Code with Spring Security?

How to do what head, tail, more, less, sed do in Powershell?

Get-Content (alias: gc) is your usual option for reading a text file. You can then filter further:

gc log.txt | select -first 10 # head
gc -TotalCount 10 log.txt     # also head
gc log.txt | select -last 10  # tail
gc -Tail 10 log.txt           # also tail (since PSv3), also much faster than above option
gc log.txt | more             # or less if you have it installed
gc log.txt | %{ $_ -replace '\d+', '($0)' }         # sed

This works well enough for small files, larger ones (more than a few MiB) are probably a bit slow.

The PowerShell Community Extensions include some cmdlets for specialised file stuff (e.g. Get-FileTail).

Timestamp with a millisecond precision: How to save them in MySQL

You need to be at MySQL version 5.6.4 or later to declare columns with fractional-second time datatypes. Not sure you have the right version? Try SELECT NOW(3). If you get an error, you don't have the right version.

For example, DATETIME(3) will give you millisecond resolution in your timestamps, and TIMESTAMP(6) will give you microsecond resolution on a *nix-style timestamp.

Read this: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fractional-seconds.html

NOW(3) will give you the present time from your MySQL server's operating system with millisecond precision.

If you have a number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch, try this to get a DATETIME(3) value

FROM_UNIXTIME(ms * 0.001)

Javascript timestamps, for example, are represented in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

(Notice that MySQL internal fractional arithmetic, like * 0.001, is always handled as IEEE754 double precision floating point, so it's unlikely you'll lose precision before the Sun becomes a white dwarf star.)

If you're using an older version of MySQL and you need subsecond time precision, your best path is to upgrade. Anything else will force you into doing messy workarounds.

If, for some reason you can't upgrade, you could consider using BIGINT or DOUBLE columns to store Javascript timestamps as if they were numbers. FROM_UNIXTIME(col * 0.001) will still work OK. If you need the current time to store in such a column, you could use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() * 1000

How to determine the longest increasing subsequence using dynamic programming?

OK, I will describe first the simplest solution which is O(N^2), where N is the size of the collection. There also exists a O(N log N) solution, which I will describe also. Look here for it at the section Efficient algorithms.

I will assume the indices of the array are from 0 to N - 1. So let's define DP[i] to be the length of the LIS (Longest increasing subsequence) which is ending at element with index i. To compute DP[i] we look at all indices j < i and check both if DP[j] + 1 > DP[i] and array[j] < array[i] (we want it to be increasing). If this is true we can update the current optimum for DP[i]. To find the global optimum for the array you can take the maximum value from DP[0...N - 1].

int maxLength = 1, bestEnd = 0;
DP[0] = 1;
prev[0] = -1;

for (int i = 1; i < N; i++)
{
   DP[i] = 1;
   prev[i] = -1;

   for (int j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--)
      if (DP[j] + 1 > DP[i] && array[j] < array[i])
      {
         DP[i] = DP[j] + 1;
         prev[i] = j;
      }

   if (DP[i] > maxLength)
   {
      bestEnd = i;
      maxLength = DP[i];
   }
}

I use the array prev to be able later to find the actual sequence not only its length. Just go back recursively from bestEnd in a loop using prev[bestEnd]. The -1 value is a sign to stop.


OK, now to the more efficient O(N log N) solution:

Let S[pos] be defined as the smallest integer that ends an increasing sequence of length pos. Now iterate through every integer X of the input set and do the following:

  1. If X > last element in S, then append X to the end of S. This essentialy means we have found a new largest LIS.

  2. Otherwise find the smallest element in S, which is >= than X, and change it to X. Because S is sorted at any time, the element can be found using binary search in log(N).

Total runtime - N integers and a binary search for each of them - N * log(N) = O(N log N)

Now let's do a real example:

Collection of integers: 2 6 3 4 1 2 9 5 8

Steps:

0. S = {} - Initialize S to the empty set
1. S = {2} - New largest LIS
2. S = {2, 6} - New largest LIS
3. S = {2, 3} - Changed 6 to 3
4. S = {2, 3, 4} - New largest LIS
5. S = {1, 3, 4} - Changed 2 to 1
6. S = {1, 2, 4} - Changed 3 to 2
7. S = {1, 2, 4, 9} - New largest LIS
8. S = {1, 2, 4, 5} - Changed 9 to 5
9. S = {1, 2, 4, 5, 8} - New largest LIS

So the length of the LIS is 5 (the size of S).

To reconstruct the actual LIS we will again use a parent array. Let parent[i] be the predecessor of element with index i in the LIS ending at element with index i.

To make things simpler, we can keep in the array S, not the actual integers, but their indices(positions) in the set. We do not keep {1, 2, 4, 5, 8}, but keep {4, 5, 3, 7, 8}.

That is input[4] = 1, input[5] = 2, input[3] = 4, input[7] = 5, input[8] = 8.

If we update properly the parent array, the actual LIS is:

input[S[lastElementOfS]], 
input[parent[S[lastElementOfS]]],
input[parent[parent[S[lastElementOfS]]]],
........................................

Now to the important thing - how do we update the parent array? There are two options:

  1. If X > last element in S, then parent[indexX] = indexLastElement. This means the parent of the newest element is the last element. We just prepend X to the end of S.

  2. Otherwise find the index of the smallest element in S, which is >= than X, and change it to X. Here parent[indexX] = S[index - 1].

Hive External Table Skip First Row

I am not quite sure if it works with ROW FORMAT serde 'com.bizo.hive.serde.csv.CSVSerde' but I guess that it should be similar to ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','.
In your case first row will be treated like normal row. But first field fails to be INT so all fields, for first row, will be set as NULL. You need only one intermediate step to fix it:

INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE Test
SELECT * from Test WHERE RecordId IS NOT NULL

Only one drawback is that your original csv file will be modified. I hope it helps. GL!

Initial bytes incorrect after Java AES/CBC decryption

In this answer I choose to approach the "Simple Java AES encrypt/decrypt example" main theme and not the specific debugging question because I think this will profit most readers.

This is a simple summary of my blog post about AES encryption in Java so I recommend reading through it before implementing anything. I will however still provide a simple example to use and give some pointers what to watch out for.

In this example I will choose to use authenticated encryption with Galois/Counter Mode or GCM mode. The reason is that in most case you want integrity and authenticity in combination with confidentiality (read more in the blog).

AES-GCM Encryption/Decryption Tutorial

Here are the steps required to encrypt/decrypt with AES-GCM with the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA). Do not mix with other examples, as subtle differences may make your code utterly insecure.

1. Create Key

As it depends on your use-case, I will assume the simplest case: a random secret key.

SecureRandom secureRandom = new SecureRandom();
byte[] key = new byte[16];
secureRandom.nextBytes(key);
SecretKey secretKey = SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");

Important:

2. Create the Initialization Vector

An initialization vector (IV) is used so that the same secret key will create different cipher texts.

byte[] iv = new byte[12]; //NEVER REUSE THIS IV WITH SAME KEY
secureRandom.nextBytes(iv);

Important:

3. Encrypt with IV and Key

final Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/GCM/NoPadding");
GCMParameterSpec parameterSpec = new GCMParameterSpec(128, iv); //128 bit auth tag length
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKey, parameterSpec);
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainText);

Important:

  • use 16 byte / 128 bit authentication tag (used to verify integrity/authenticity)
  • the authentication tag will be automatically appended to the cipher text (in the JCA implementation)
  • since GCM behaves like a stream cipher, no padding is required
  • use CipherInputStream when encrypting large chunks of data
  • want additional (non-secret) data checked if it was changed? You may want to use associated data with cipher.updateAAD(associatedData); More here.

3. Serialize to Single Message

Just append IV and ciphertext. As stated above, the IV doesn't need to be secret.

ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(iv.length + cipherText.length);
byteBuffer.put(iv);
byteBuffer.put(cipherText);
byte[] cipherMessage = byteBuffer.array();

Optionally encode with Base64 if you need a string representation. Either use Android's or Java 8's built-in implementation (do not use Apache Commons Codec - it's an awful implementation). Encoding is used to "convert" byte arrays to string representation to make it ASCII safe e.g.:

String base64CipherMessage = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(cipherMessage);

4. Prepare Decryption: Deserialize

If you have encoded the message, first decode it to byte array:

byte[] cipherMessage = Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64CipherMessage)

Important:

5. Decrypt

Initialize the cipher and set the same parameters as with the encryption:

final Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/GCM/NoPadding");
//use first 12 bytes for iv
AlgorithmParameterSpec gcmIv = new GCMParameterSpec(128, cipherMessage, 0, 12);
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, secretKey, gcmIv);
//use everything from 12 bytes on as ciphertext
byte[] plainText = cipher.doFinal(cipherMessage, 12, cipherMessage.length - 12);

Important:

  • don't forget to add associated data with cipher.updateAAD(associatedData); if you added it during encryption.

A working code snippet can be found in this gist.


Note that most recent Android (SDK 21+) and Java (7+) implementations should have AES-GCM. Older versions may lack it. I still choose this mode, since it is easier to implement in addition to being more efficient compared to similar mode of Encrypt-then-Mac (with e.g. AES-CBC + HMAC). See this article on how to implement AES-CBC with HMAC.

Is it possible to get the index you're sorting over in Underscore.js?

If you'd rather transform your array, then the iterator parameter of underscore's map function is also passed the index as a second argument. So:

_.map([1, 4, 2, 66, 444, 9], function(value, index){ return index + ':' + value; });

... returns:

["0:1", "1:4", "2:2", "3:66", "4:444", "5:9"]

Does Typescript support the ?. operator? (And, what's it called?)

As answered before, it's currently still being considered but it has been dead in the water for a few years by now.

Building on the existing answers, here's the most concise manual version I can think of:

jsfiddle

function val<T>(valueSupplier: () => T): T {
  try { return valueSupplier(); } catch (err) { return undefined; }
}

let obj1: { a?: { b?: string }} = { a: { b: 'c' } };
console.log(val(() => obj1.a.b)); // 'c'

obj1 = { a: {} };
console.log(val(() => obj1.a.b)); // undefined
console.log(val(() => obj1.a.b) || 'Nothing'); // 'Nothing'

obj1 = {};
console.log(val(() => obj1.a.b) || 'Nothing'); // 'Nothing'

obj1 = null;
console.log(val(() => obj1.a.b) || 'Nothing'); // 'Nothing'

It simply silently fails on missing property errors. It falls back to the standard syntax for determining default value, which can be omitted completely as well.


Although this works for simple cases, if you need more complex stuff such as calling a function and then access a property on the result, then any other errors are swallowed as well. Bad design.

In the above case, an optimized version of the other answer posted here is the better option:

jsfiddle

function o<T>(obj?: T, def: T = {} as T): T {
    return obj || def;
}

let obj1: { a?: { b?: string }} = { a: { b: 'c' } };
console.log(o(o(o(obj1).a)).b); // 'c'

obj1 = { a: {} };
console.log(o(o(o(obj1).a)).b); // undefined
console.log(o(o(o(obj1).a)).b || 'Nothing'); // 'Nothing'

obj1 = {};
console.log(o(o(o(obj1).a)).b || 'Nothing'); // 'Nothing'

obj1 = null;
console.log(o(o(o(obj1).a)).b || 'Nothing'); // 'Nothing'

A more complex example:

o(foo(), []).map((n) => n.id)

You can also go the other way and use something like Lodash' _.get(). It is concise, but the compiler won't be able to judge the validity of the properties used:

console.log(_.get(obj1, 'a.b.c'));

iPhone SDK on Windows (alternative solutions)

Technically you can write code in a .NET language and use the Mono Framework (http://www.mono-project.com/) to run it on the iPhone. I haven't ever seen someone do this from scratch, but the folks that write the Unity Game Development platform (http://unity3d.com/) use it to make their games iPhone-compatible. The game itself is written in .NET, and then they provide an iPhone shell with the Mono frameworks that allows everything to run on the iPhone. I don't know whether they've contributed all of their modifications to Mono back to the open-source repository, but if you're serious about writing iPhone apps outside the Mac environment, it might be possible.

That said, I think you could dump weeks into getting that to work, and it might be best to invest in a Mac instead :-)

Laravel Redirect Back with() Message

I got this message when I tried to redirect as:

public function validateLogin(LoginRequest $request){
    //

    return redirect()->route('sesion.iniciar')
            ->withErrors($request)
            ->withInput();

When the right way is:

public function validateLogin(LoginRequest $request){
    //

    return redirect()->route('sesion.iniciar')
            ->withErrors($request->messages())
            ->withInput();

How to convert string date to Timestamp in java?

tl;dr

java.sql.Timestamp                  
.valueOf(                           // Class-method parses SQL-style formatted date-time strings.
    "2007-11-11 12:13:14"
)                                   // Returns a `Timestamp` object.
.toInstant()                        // Converts from terrible legacy classes to modern *java.time* class.

java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf parses SQL format

If you can use the full four digits for the year, your input string of 2007-11-11 12:13:14 would be in standard SQL format assuming this value is meant to be in UTC time zone.

The java.sql.Timestamp class has a valueOf method to directly parse such strings.

String input = "2007-11-11 12:13:14" ;
java.sql.Timestamp ts = java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf( input ) ;

java.time

In Java 8 and later, the java.time framework makes it easier to verify the results. The j.s.Timestamp class has a nasty habit of implicitly applying your JVM’s current default timestamp when generating a string representation via its toString method. In contrast, the java.time classes by default use the standard ISO 8601 formats.

System.out.println( "Output: " + ts.toInstant().toString() );

java.nio.file.Path for a classpath resource

You need to define the Filesystem to read resource from jar file as mentioned in https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/io/fsp/zipfilesystemprovider.html. I success to read resource from jar file with below codes:

Map<String, Object> env = new HashMap<>();
try (FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env)) {

        Path path = fs.getPath("/path/myResource");

        try (Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(path)) {
            ....
        }
    }

String comparison using '==' vs. 'strcmp()'

strcmp will return different values based on the environment it is running(Linux/Windows)!

The reason is the that it has a bug as the bug report says https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53999

Please handle with care!!Thank you.

Git, How to reset origin/master to a commit?

Since I had a similar situation, I thought I'd share my situation and how these answers helped me (thanks everyone).

So I decided to work locally by amending my last commit every time I wanted to save my progress on the main branch (I know, I should've branched out, committed on that, kept pushing and later merge back to master).

One late night, in paranoid fear of loosing my progress to hardware failure or something out of the ether, I decided to push master to origin. Later I kept amending my local master branch and when I decided it's time to push again, I was faced with different master branches and found out I can't amend origin/upstream (duh!) like I can local development branches.

So I didn't checkout master locally because I already was after a commit. Master was unchanged. I didn't even need to reset --hard, my current commit was OK.

I just forced push to origin, without even specifying what commit I wanted to force on master since in this case it's whatever HEAD is at. Checked git diff master..origin/master so there weren't any differences and that's it. All fixed. Thanks! (I know, I'm a git newbie, please forgive!).

So if you're already OK with your master branch locally, just:

git push --force origin master
git diff master..origin/master

Deserialize JSON into C# dynamic object?

How to parse easy JSON content with dynamic & JavaScriptSerializer

Please add reference of System.Web.Extensions and add this namespace using System.Web.Script.Serialization; at top:

public static void EasyJson()
{
    var jsonText = @"{

How to get current time in python and break up into year, month, day, hour, minute?

The datetime module is your friend:

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print(now.year, now.month, now.day, now.hour, now.minute, now.second)
# 2015 5 6 8 53 40

You don't need separate variables, the attributes on the returned datetime object have all you need.

How do I match any character across multiple lines in a regular expression?

generally . doesn't match newlines, so try ((.|\n)*)<foobar>

What to put in a python module docstring?

Think about somebody doing help(yourmodule) at the interactive interpreter's prompt — what do they want to know? (Other methods of extracting and displaying the information are roughly equivalent to help in terms of amount of information). So if you have in x.py:

"""This module does blah blah."""

class Blah(object):
  """This class does blah blah."""

then:

>>> import x; help(x)

shows:

Help on module x:

NAME
    x - This module does blah blah.

FILE
    /tmp/x.py

CLASSES
    __builtin__.object
        Blah

    class Blah(__builtin__.object)
     |  This class does blah blah.
     |  
     |  Data and other attributes defined here:
     |  
     |  __dict__ = <dictproxy object>
     |      dictionary for instance variables (if defined)
     |  
     |  __weakref__ = <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Blah' objects>
     |      list of weak references to the object (if defined)

As you see, the detailed information on the classes (and functions too, though I'm not showing one here) is already included from those components' docstrings; the module's own docstring should describe them very summarily (if at all) and rather concentrate on a concise summary of what the module as a whole can do for you, ideally with some doctested examples (just like functions and classes ideally should have doctested examples in their docstrings).

I don't see how metadata such as author name and copyright / license helps the module's user — it can rather go in comments, since it could help somebody considering whether or not to reuse or modify the module.

Proper way to rename solution (and directories) in Visual Studio

I've used the Visual Studio extension "Full Rename Project" to successfully rename projects in an ASP.NET Core 2 solution.

I used ReSharper then to adjust the namespace (right click on project, refactor, adjust namespaces...)

how does unix handle full path name with space and arguments?

Also be careful with double-quotes -- on the Unix shell this expands variables. Some are obvious (like $foo and \t) but some are not (like !foo).

For safety, use single-quotes!

What's faster, SELECT DISTINCT or GROUP BY in MySQL?

well distinct can be slower than group by on some occasions in postgres (dont know about other dbs).

tested example:

postgres=# select count(*) from (select distinct i from g) a;

count 

10001
(1 row)

Time: 1563,109 ms

postgres=# select count(*) from (select i from g group by i) a;

count
10001
(1 row)

Time: 594,481 ms

http://www.pgsql.cz/index.php/PostgreSQL_SQL_Tricks_I

so be careful ... :)

What's the difference between compiled and interpreted language?

Interpreted language is executed at the run time according to the instructions like in shell scripting and compiled language is one which is compiled (changed into Assembly language, which CPU can understand ) and then executed like in c++.

Char to int conversion in C

Try this :

char c = '5' - '0';

IllegalMonitorStateException on wait() call

Those who are using Java 7.0 or below version can refer the code which I used here and it works.

public class WaitTest {

    private final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
    private final Condition condition = lock.newCondition();

    public void waitHere(long waitTime) {
        System.out.println("wait started...");
        lock.lock();
        try {
            condition.await(waitTime, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        lock.unlock();
        System.out.println("wait ends here...");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Your Code
        new WaitTest().waitHere(10);
        //Your Code
    }

}

Coloring Buttons in Android with Material Design and AppCompat

Another simple solution using the AppCompatButton

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored"
     app:backgroundTint="@color/red"
     android:text="UNINSTALL" />

Iterate through 2 dimensional array

Just invert the indexes' order like this:

for (int j = 0; j<array[0].length; j++){
     for (int i = 0; i<array.length; i++){

because all rows has same amount of columns you can use this condition j < array[0].lengt in first for condition due to the fact you are iterating over a matrix

How to get the date 7 days earlier date from current date in Java

Java now has a pretty good built-in date library, java.time bundled with Java 8.

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class Foo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        DateTimeFormatter format =
            DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");

        LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();
        LocalDateTime then = now.minusDays(7);

        System.out.println(String.format(
            "Now:  %s\nThen: %s",
            now.format(format),
            then.format(format)
        ));
        /*
            Example output:
                Now:  2014-05-09T14:51:48Z
                Then: 2014-05-02T14:51:48Z
         */
    }
}

Where are include files stored - Ubuntu Linux, GCC

See here: Search Path

Summary:

#include <stdio.h>

When the include file is in brackets the preprocessor first searches in paths specified via the -I flag. Then it searches the standard include paths (see the above link, and use the -v flag to test on your system).

#include "myFile.h"

When the include file is in quotes the preprocessor first searches in the current directory, then paths specified by -iquote, then -I paths, then the standard paths.

-nostdinc can be used to prevent the preprocessor from searching the standard paths at all.

Environment variables can also be used to add search paths.

When compiling if you use the -v flag you can see the search paths used.

Why is nginx responding to any domain name?

To answer your question - nginx picks the first server if there's no match. See documentation:

If its value does not match any server name, or the request does not contain this header field at all, then nginx will route the request to the default server for this port. In the configuration above, the default server is the first one...

Now, if you wanted to have a default catch-all server that, say, responds with 404 to all requests, then here's how to do it:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen 443 ssl default_server;
    server_name _;
    ssl_certificate <path to cert>
    ssl_certificate_key <path to key>
    return 404;
}

Note that you need to specify certificate/key (that can be self-signed), otherwise all SSL connections will fail as nginx will try to accept connection using this default_server and won't find cert/key.

Oracle timestamp data type

Quite simply the number is the precision of the timestamp, the fraction of a second held in the column:

SQL> create table t23
  2  (ts0 timestamp(0)
  3   , ts3 timestamp(3)
  4  , ts6 timestamp(6)
  5  )
  6  /

Table created.

SQL> insert into t23 values (systimestamp, systimestamp, systimestamp)
  2  /

1 row created.

SQL> select * from t23
  2  /

TS0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TS3

24-JAN-12 05.57.12.003 AM
24-JAN-12 05.57.12.002648 AM


SQL> 

If we don't specify a precision then the timestamp defaults to six places.

SQL> alter table t23 add ts_def timestamp;

Table altered.

SQL> update t23      
  2  set ts_def = systimestamp

SQL> 

Note that I'm running on Linux so my TIMESTAMP column actually gives me precision to six places i.e. microseconds. This would also be the case on most (all?) flavours of Unix. On Windows the limit is three places i.e. milliseconds. (Is this still true of the most modern flavours of Windows - citation needed).

As might be expected, the documentation covers this. Find out more.


"when you create timestamp(9) this gives you nanos right"

Only if the OS supports it. As you can see, my OEL appliance does not:

SQL> alter table t23 add ts_nano timestamp(9)
  2  /

Table altered.

SQL> update t23 set ts_nano = systimestamp(9)
  2  /

1 row updated.

SQL - HAVING vs. WHERE

First we should know the order of execution of Clauses i.e FROM > WHERE > GROUP BY > HAVING > DISTINCT > SELECT > ORDER BY. Since WHERE Clause gets executed before GROUP BY Clause the records cannot be filtered by applying WHERE to a GROUP BY applied records.

"HAVING is same as the WHERE clause but is applied on grouped records".

first the WHERE clause fetches the records based on the condition then the GROUP BY clause groups them accordingly and then the HAVING clause fetches the group records based on the having condition.

or

SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM FOO2)

Disable ScrollView Programmatically?

I had gone this way:

When do you use Java's @Override annotation and why?

If you find yourself overriding (non-abstract) methods very often, you probably want to take a look at your design. It is very useful when the compiler would not otherwise catch the error. For instance trying to override initValue() in ThreadLocal, which I have done.

Using @Override when implementing interface methods (1.6+ feature) seems a bit overkill for me. If you have loads of methods some of which override and some don't, that probably bad design again (and your editor will probably show which is which if you don't know).

How do I count unique values inside a list

Although a set is the easiest way, you could also use a dict and use some_dict.has(key) to populate a dictionary with only unique keys and values.

Assuming you have already populated words[] with input from the user, create a dict mapping the unique words in the list to a number:

word_map = {}
i = 1
for j in range(len(words)):
    if not word_map.has_key(words[j]):
        word_map[words[j]] = i
        i += 1                                                             
num_unique_words = len(new_map) # or num_unique_words = i, however you prefer

How do I apply a style to all children of an element

As commented by David Thomas, descendants of those child elements will (likely) inherit most of the styles assigned to those child elements.

You need to wrap your .myTestClass inside an element and apply the styles to descendants by adding .wrapper * descendant selector. Then, add .myTestClass > * child selector to apply the style to the elements children, not its grand children. For example like this:

Proper way to get page content

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

//if you want specific page of content then write
if(get_the_ID=='11')//make sure to use get_the_ID instead the_ID
{
echo get_the_ID();

the_content();
}

endwhile;

How to redirect output of an entire shell script within the script itself?

Addressing the question as updated.

#...part of script without redirection...

{
    #...part of script with redirection...
} > file1 2>file2 # ...and others as appropriate...

#...residue of script without redirection...

The braces '{ ... }' provide a unit of I/O redirection. The braces must appear where a command could appear - simplistically, at the start of a line or after a semi-colon. (Yes, that can be made more precise; if you want to quibble, let me know.)

You are right that you can preserve the original stdout and stderr with the redirections you showed, but it is usually simpler for the people who have to maintain the script later to understand what's going on if you scope the redirected code as shown above.

The relevant sections of the Bash manual are Grouping Commands and I/O Redirection. The relevant sections of the POSIX shell specification are Compound Commands and I/O Redirection. Bash has some extra notations, but is otherwise similar to the POSIX shell specification.

What is the difference between ndarray and array in numpy?

Just a few lines of example code to show the difference between numpy.array and numpy.ndarray

Warm up step: Construct a list

a = [1,2,3]

Check the type

print(type(a))

You will get

<class 'list'>

Construct an array (from a list) using np.array

a = np.array(a)

Or, you can skip the warm up step, directly have

a = np.array([1,2,3])

Check the type

print(type(a))

You will get

<class 'numpy.ndarray'>

which tells you the type of the numpy array is numpy.ndarray

You can also check the type by

isinstance(a, (np.ndarray))

and you will get

True

Either of the following two lines will give you an error message

np.ndarray(a)                # should be np.array(a)
isinstance(a, (np.array))    # should be isinstance(a, (np.ndarray))

round value to 2 decimals javascript

If you want it visually formatted to two decimals as a string (for output) use toFixed():

var priceString = someValue.toFixed(2);

The answer by @David has two problems:

  1. It leaves the result as a floating point number, and consequently holds the possibility of displaying a particular result with many decimal places, e.g. 134.1999999999 instead of "134.20".

  2. If your value is an integer or rounds to one tenth, you will not see the additional decimal value:

    var n = 1.099;
    (Math.round( n * 100 )/100 ).toString() //-> "1.1"
    n.toFixed(2)                            //-> "1.10"
    
    var n = 3;
    (Math.round( n * 100 )/100 ).toString() //-> "3"
    n.toFixed(2)                            //-> "3.00"
    

And, as you can see above, using toFixed() is also far easier to type. ;)

Populate dropdown select with array using jQuery

The array declaration has incorrect syntax. Try the following, instead:

            $('#items').append( $('<option></option>').val(val).html(text) )
            }); // there was also a ) missing here

Checking if a textbox is empty in Javascript

onchange will work only if the value of the textbox changed compared to the value it had before, so for the first time it won't work because the state didn't change.

So it is better to use onblur event or on submitting the form.

_x000D_
_x000D_
function checkTextField(field) {_x000D_
  document.getElementById("error").innerText =_x000D_
    (field.value === "") ? "Field is empty." : "Field is filled.";_x000D_
}

Date Comparison using Java

You are probably looking for:

Disabling browser print options (headers, footers, margins) from page?

I have a similar request from a client who wants to have the header, page numbers, and html footer removed. In this case, the client is presenting an HTML page that can double as a formal certificate. The added URL, page, and, header, are irrelevant and lead to a less-than-pleasing final product. In some ways, it just looks cheap.

Media=Print has not been able to disable these browser defaults. The only workaround is to tell the user to click the "Gear" button and toggle those items on/off. Seriously, I had no idea I could do that for 20 years (and we think the typical user will have a clue to click the toggle button?).

If CSS supports Media=Print, it should support the ability to control the entire end-user print experience. I appreciate that the browsers provide the added fields, but, why not allow CSS to control the overall print experience-if that is what's desired. A 90% solution could be 100% with three more fields! A simple:

#BrowserPrintDefaults{display:none} 

would suffice.

Again, it's not a matter whether or not the end-user wants to print it out or not (maybe your client is very private and doesn't want printed URLs floating around. Or maybe a executive team uses a private collaboration sites?). Glad to defend the end-user, but if somebody is seeking an answer, don't respond saying it's the right of the end-user to show or hide. Sometimes it's the right of the client paying the bills.

bash "if [ false ];" returns true instead of false -- why?

as noted by @tripleee, this is tangential, at best.

still, in case you arrived here searching for something like that (as i did), here is my solution

having to deal with user acessible configuration files, i use this function :

function isTrue() {
    if [[ "${@^^}" =~ ^(TRUE|OUI|Y|O$|ON$|[1-9]) ]]; then return 0;fi
    return 1
    }

wich can be used like that

if isTrue "$whatever"; then..

You can alter the "truth list" in the regexp, the one in this sample is french compatible and considers strings like "Yeah, yup, on,1, Oui,y,true to be "True".

note that the '^^' provides case insensivity

Connection failed: SQLState: '01000' SQL Server Error: 10061

In my case this was related to permission on drive N following an SQL Server failover on an Active/Passive SQL cluster.

All SQL resources where failed over to the seconary resouce and back to the preferred node following maintenance. When the Quest LiteSpeed job then executed on the preferred node it was clear the previous permissions for SQL server user X had been lost on drive N and SQLSTATE 10100 was reported.

Simply added the permissions again to the backup destination drive and the issue was resolved.

Hope that helps someone.

What is the difference between Nexus and Maven?

Whatever I understood from my learning and what I think it is is here. I am Quoting some part from a book i learnt this things. Nexus Repository Manager and Nexus Repository Manager OSS started as a repository manager supporting the Maven repository format. While it supports many other repository formats now, the Maven repository format is still the most common and well supported format for build and provisioning tools running on the JVM and beyond. This chapter shows example configurations for using the repository manager with Apache Maven and a number of other tools. The setups take advantage of merging many repositories and exposing them via a repository group. Setting this up is documented in the chapter in addition to the configuration used by specific tools.

Auto start node.js server on boot

This can easily be done manually with the Windows Task Scheduler.

  • First, install forever.
  • Then, create a batch file that contains the following:

    cd C:\path\to\project\root
    call C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\npm\forever.cmd start server.js
    exit 0
    
  • Lastly, create a scheduled task that runs when you log on. This task should call the batch file.

Regular expression for extracting tag attributes

I have created a PHP function that could extract attributes of any HTML tags. It also can handle attributes like disabled that has no value, and also can determine whether the tag is a stand-alone tag (has no closing tag) or not (has a closing tag) by checking the content result:

/*! Based on <https://github.com/mecha-cms/cms/blob/master/system/kernel/converter.php> */
function extract_html_attributes($input) {
    if( ! preg_match('#^(<)([a-z0-9\-._:]+)((\s)+(.*?))?((>)([\s\S]*?)((<)\/\2(>))|(\s)*\/?(>))$#im', $input, $matches)) return false;
    $matches[5] = preg_replace('#(^|(\s)+)([a-z0-9\-]+)(=)(")(")#i', '$1$2$3$4$5<attr:value>$6', $matches[5]);
    $results = array(
        'element' => $matches[2],
        'attributes' => null,
        'content' => isset($matches[8]) && $matches[9] == '</' . $matches[2] . '>' ? $matches[8] : null
    );
    if(preg_match_all('#([a-z0-9\-]+)((=)(")(.*?)("))?(?:(\s)|$)#i', $matches[5], $attrs)) {
        $results['attributes'] = array();
        foreach($attrs[1] as $i => $attr) {
            $results['attributes'][$attr] = isset($attrs[5][$i]) && ! empty($attrs[5][$i]) ? ($attrs[5][$i] != '<attr:value>' ? $attrs[5][$i] : "") : $attr;
        }
    }
    return $results;
}

How to create a numeric vector of zero length in R

If you read the help for vector (or numeric or logical or character or integer or double, 'raw' or complex etc ) then you will see that they all have a length (or length.out argument which defaults to 0

Therefore

numeric()
logical()
character()
integer()
double()
raw()
complex() 
vector('numeric')
vector('character')
vector('integer')
vector('double')
vector('raw')
vector('complex')

All return 0 length vectors of the appropriate atomic modes.

# the following will also return objects with length 0
list()
expression()
vector('list')
vector('expression')

Display encoded html with razor

I store encoded HTML in the database.

Imho you should not store your data html-encoded in the database. Just store in plain text (not encoded) and just display your data like this and your html will be automatically encoded:

<div class='content'>
    @Model.Content
</div>

jQuery append() - return appended elements

There's a simpler way to do this:

$(newHtml).appendTo('#myDiv').effects(...);

This turns things around by first creating newHtml with jQuery(html [, ownerDocument ]), and then using appendTo(target) (note the "To" bit) to add that it to the end of #mydiv.

Because you now start with $(newHtml) the end result of appendTo('#myDiv') is that new bit of html, and the .effects(...) call will be on that new bit of html too.

public boolean isDateValid(String dateString, String pattern)
{   
    try
    {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
        if (sdf.format(sdf.parse(dateString)).equals(dateString))
            return true;
    }
    catch (ParseException pe) {}

    return false;
}

Make a VStack fill the width of the screen in SwiftUI

You can use GeometryReader in a handy extension to fill the parent

extension View {
    func fillParent(alignment:Alignment = .center) -> some View {
        return GeometryReader { geometry in
            self
                .frame(width: geometry.size.width,
                       height: geometry.size.height,
                       alignment: alignment)
        }
    }
}

so using the requested example, you get

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack(alignment: .leading) {
            Text("Title")
                .font(.title)

            Text("Content")
                .lineLimit(nil)
                .font(.body)
        }
        .fillParent(alignment:.topLeading)
        .background(Color.red)
    }
}

(note the spacer is no longer needed)

How do I get the output of a shell command executed using into a variable from Jenkinsfile (groovy)?

this is a sample case, which will make sense I believe!

node('master'){
    stage('stage1'){
    def commit = sh (returnStdout: true, script: '''echo hi
    echo bye | grep -o "e"
    date
    echo lol''').split()


    echo "${commit[-1]} "

    }
}

Post a json object to mvc controller with jquery and ajax

What am I doing incorrectly?

You have to convert html to javascript object, and then as a second step to json throug JSON.Stringify.

How can I receive a json object in the controller?

View:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marioizquierdo/jquery.serializeJSON/master/jquery.serializejson.js"></script>

var obj = $("#form1").serializeJSON({ useIntKeysAsArrayIndex: true });
$.post("http://localhost:52161/Default/PostRawJson/", { json: JSON.stringify(obj) });

<form id="form1" method="post">
<input name="OrderDate" type="text" /><br />
<input name="Item[0][Id]" type="text" /><br />
<input name="Item[1][Id]" type="text" /><br />
<button id="btn" onclick="btnClick()">Button</button>
</form>

Controller:

public void PostRawJson(string json)
{
    var order = System.Web.Helpers.Json.Decode(json);
    var orderDate = order.OrderDate;
    var secondOrderId = order.Item[1].Id;
}

Why won't bundler install JSON gem?

I installed the latest version of json:

gem install json

Then deleted the line json(1.8.1) from the Gemfile.lock and did a

bundle install

And then the Gemfile.lock file uses json(1.8.3) without erros

Error: [ng:areq] from angular controller

I've gotten that error twice:

1) When I wrote:

var app = module('flapperNews', []);

instead of:

var app = angular.module('flapperNews', []);

2) When I copy and pasted some html, and the controller name in the html did not exactly match the controller name in my app.js file, for instance:

index.html:

<script src="app.js"></script>
...
...
<body ng-app="flapperNews" ng-controller="MainCtrl">

app.js:

var app = angular.module('flapperNews', []);

app.controller('MyCtrl', ....

In the html, the controller name is "MainCtrl", and in the js I used the name "MyCtrl".

There is actually an error message embedded in the error url:

Error: [ng:areq] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.2/ng/areq?p0=MainCtrl&p1=not%20a%20function%2C%20got%20undefined

Here it is without the hieroglyphics:

MainCtrl not a function got undefined

In other words, "There is no function named MainCtrl. Check your spelling."

Radio buttons and label to display in same line

If you use the HTML structure I lay out in this question you can simply float your label and input to the left and adjust padding/margin until things are lined up.

And yes, you'll want to make your radio button have a class name for old IE. And to have all of them on the same line, according to the markup I linked to above, it would be like so:

_x000D_
_x000D_
fieldset {_x000D_
      overflow: hidden_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    _x000D_
    .some-class {_x000D_
      float: left;_x000D_
      clear: none;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    _x000D_
    label {_x000D_
      float: left;_x000D_
      clear: none;_x000D_
      display: block;_x000D_
      padding: 0px 1em 0px 8px;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    _x000D_
    input[type=radio],_x000D_
    input.radio {_x000D_
      float: left;_x000D_
      clear: none;_x000D_
      margin: 2px 0 0 2px;_x000D_
    }
_x000D_
<fieldset>_x000D_
      <div class="some-class">_x000D_
        <input type="radio" class="radio" name="x" value="y" id="y" />_x000D_
        <label for="y">Thing 1</label>_x000D_
        <input type="radio" class="radio" name="x" value="z" id="z" />_x000D_
        <label for="z">Thing 2</label>_x000D_
      </div>_x000D_
    </fieldset>
_x000D_
_x000D_

Disable keyboard on EditText

You can also use setShowSoftInputOnFocus(boolean) directly on API 21+ or through reflection on API 14+:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
} else {
    try {
        final Method method = EditText.class.getMethod(
                "setShowSoftInputOnFocus"
                , new Class[]{boolean.class});
        method.setAccessible(true);
        method.invoke(editText, false);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // ignore
    }
}

How to understand nil vs. empty vs. blank in Ruby

nil? is a standard Ruby method that can be called on all objects and returns true if the object is nil:

b = nil
b.nil? # => true

empty? is a standard Ruby method that can be called on some objects such as Strings, Arrays and Hashes and returns true if these objects contain no element:

a = []
a.empty? # => true

b = ["2","4"]
b.empty? # => false

empty? cannot be called on nil objects.

blank? is a Rails method that can be called on nil objects as well as empty objects.

How to restart a windows service using Task Scheduler

Instead of using a bat file, you can simply create a Scheduled Task. Most of the time you define just one action. In this case, create two actions with the NET command. The first one to stop the service, the second one to start the service. Give them a STOP and START argument, followed by the service name.

In this example we restart the Printer Spooler service.

NET STOP "Print Spooler" 
NET START "Print Spooler"

enter image description here

enter image description here

Note: unfortunately NET RESTART <service name> does not exist.

Angular 4 checkbox change value

changed = (evt) => {    
this.isChecked = evt.target.checked;
}

<input type="checkbox" [checked]="checkbox" (change)="changed($event)" id="no"/>

Android Webview gives net::ERR_CACHE_MISS message

Use

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
        mWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK);
    }

It should solve the error.

Why do you use typedef when declaring an enum in C++?

You do not need to do it. In C (not C++) you were required to use enum Enumname to refer to a data element of the enumerated type. To simplify it you were allowed to typedef it to a single name data type.

typedef enum MyEnum { 
  //...
} MyEnum;

allowed functions taking a parameter of the enum to be defined as

void f( MyEnum x )

instead of the longer

void f( enum MyEnum x )

Note that the name of the typename does not need to be equal to the name of the enum. The same happens with structs.

In C++, on the other hand, it is not required, as enums, classes and structs can be accessed directly as types by their names.

// C++
enum MyEnum {
   // ...
};
void f( MyEnum x ); // Correct C++, Error in C

Sniff HTTP packets for GET and POST requests from an application

You will have to use some sort of network sniffer if you want to get at this sort of data and you're likely to run into the same problem (pulling out the relevant data from the overall network traffic) with those that you do now with Wireshark.

Python Set Comprehension

You can get clean and clear solutions by building the appropriate predicates as helper functions. In other words, use the Python set-builder notation the same way you would write the answer with regular mathematics set-notation.

The whole idea behind set comprehensions is to let us write and reason in code the same way we do mathematics by hand.

With an appropriate predicate in hand, problem 1 simplifies to:

 low_primes = {x for x in range(1, 100) if is_prime(x)}

And problem 2 simplifies to:

 low_prime_pairs = {(x, x+2) for x in range(1,100,2) if is_prime(x) and is_prime(x+2)}

Note how this code is a direct translation of the problem specification, "A Prime Pair is a pair of consecutive odd numbers that are both prime."

P.S. I'm trying to give you the correct problem solving technique without actually giving away the answer to the homework problem.

How to access my localhost from another PC in LAN?

after your pc connects to other pc use these 4 step:
4 steps:
1- Edit this file: httpd.conf
for that click on wamp server and select Apache and select httpd.conf
2- Find this text: Deny from all

jQuery.inArray(), how to use it right?

the shortest and simplest way is.

arrayHere = ['cat1', 'dog2', 'bat3']; 

if(arrayHere[any key want to search])   
   console.log("yes found in array");

C# Help reading foreign characters using StreamReader

You may also try the Default encoding, which uses the current system's ANSI codepage.

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(inputFilePath, Encoding.Default, true)

When you try using the Notepad "Save As" menu with the original file, look at the encoding combo box. It will tell you which encoding notepad guessed is used by the file.

Also, if it is an ANSI file, the detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks parameter will probably not help much.

Show all current locks from get_lock

ScriptRunner.exe -appvscript demoA.cmd arg1 arg2 -appvscriptrunnerparameters -wait -timeout=30 -rollbackonerror -appvscript demoB.ps1 arg3 arg4 -appvscriptrunnerparameters -wait -timeout=30 

Which also have some features as rollback , timeout and waiting.

How can I delete a newline if it is the last character in a file?

POSIX SED:

'${/^$/d}'

$ - match last line


{ COMMANDS } - A group of commands may be enclosed between { and } characters. This is particularly useful when you want a group of commands to be triggered by a single address (or address-range) match.

css3 transition animation on load?

Even simplier solution (still with [one line inline] javascript):

Use this as the body tag: Note that body. or this. did not work for me. Only the long ; querySelector allow the use of classList.remove (Linux Chromium)

<body class="onload" onload="document.querySelector('body').classList.remove('onload')">

and add this line on top of your other css rules.

body.onload *{ transform: none !important; }

Take note that this can apply to opacity (as requested by OP [other posters] ) simply by using opacity as a transition trigger instead. (might even work on any other css ruling in the same fashion and you can use multiple class for explicity delay between triggering)

The logic is the same. Enforce no transform (with :none !importanton all child element of body.onloadand once the document is loaded remove the class to trigger all transition on all elements as specified in your css.

FIRST ANSWER BELOW (SEE EDIT ABOVE FOR SHORTER ANSWER)

Here is a reverse solution:

  1. Make your html layout and set the css accordingly to your final result (with all the transformation you want).
  2. Set the transition property to your liking
  3. add a class (eg: waitload) to the elements you want to transform AFTER load. The CSS keyword !important is the key word here.
  4. Once the document is loaded, use JS to remove the class from the elements to to start transformation (and remove the transition: none override).

Works with multiple transition on multiple elements. Did not try cross-browser compatibility.

#rotated{
    transform : rotate(90deg) /* any other transformation */;
    transition  3s;
}
#translated{
    transform : translate(90px) /* any other transformation */;
    transition  3s;
}
.waitload{
    transform: none !important;
}
<div id='rotated' class='waitload'>
    rotate after load
</div>
<div id='translated' class='waitload'>
    trasnlate after load
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
     // or body onload ?
    [...document.querySelectorAll('.waitload')]
        .map(e => e.classList.remove('waitload'));

</script>

HTML/JavaScript: Simple form validation on submit

I use this really simple small JavaScript library to validate a complete form in one single line of code:

 jsFormValidator.App.create().Validator.applyRules('Login');

Check here: jsFormValidator

The benefit of this tool is that you just write a JSON object which describe your validation rules. There isn't any need to put in a line like:

 <input type=text name="username" data-validate placeholder="Username">

data-validate is injected in all the input fields of your form, but when using jsFormValidator, you don't require this heavy syntax and the validation will be applied to your form in one shot, without the need to touch your HTML code.

What is the difference between SQL, PL-SQL and T-SQL?

  • SQL is a query language to operate on sets.

    It is more or less standardized, and used by almost all relational database management systems: SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, Informix, etc.

  • PL/SQL is a proprietary procedural language used by Oracle

  • PL/pgSQL is a procedural language used by PostgreSQL

  • TSQL is a proprietary procedural language used by Microsoft in SQL Server.

Procedural languages are designed to extend SQL's abilities while being able to integrate well with SQL. Several features such as local variables and string/data processing are added. These features make the language Turing-complete.

They are also used to write stored procedures: pieces of code residing on the server to manage complex business rules that are hard or impossible to manage with pure set-based operations.

ng-mouseover and leave to toggle item using mouse in angularjs

I would simply make the assignment happen in the ng-mouseover and ng-mouseleave; no need to bother js file :)

<ul ng-repeat="task in tasks">
    <li ng-mouseover="hoverEdit = true" ng-mouseleave="hoverEdit = false">{{task.name}}</li>
    <span ng-show="hoverEdit"><a>Edit</a></span>
</ul>

Using ListView : How to add a header view?

You can add as many headers as you like by calling addHeaderView() multiple times. You have to do it before setting the adapter to the list view.

And yes you can add header something like this way:

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, myListView, false);
myListView.addHeaderView(header, null, false);

tomcat - CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME variables

That is the parent folder of bin which contains tomcat.exe file:

CATALINA_HOME='C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0'

CATALINA_BASE is the same as CATALINA_HOME.

Restoring MySQL database from physical files

With MySql 5.1 (Win7). To recreate DBs (InnoDbs) I've replaced all contents of following dirs (my.ini params):

datadir="C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/"
innodb_data_home_dir="C:/MySQL Datafiles/"

After that I started MySql Service and all works fine.

Facebook Graph API error code list

While there does not appear to be a public, Facebook-curated list of error codes available, a number of folks have taken it upon themselves to publish lists of known codes.

Take a look at StackOverflow #4348018 - List of Facebook error codes for a number of useful resources.

Get a random boolean in python?

Adam's answer is quite fast, but I found that random.getrandbits(1) to be quite a lot faster. If you really want a boolean instead of a long then

bool(random.getrandbits(1))

is still about twice as fast as random.choice([True, False])

Both solutions need to import random

If utmost speed isn't to priority then random.choice definitely reads better

$ python -m timeit -s "import random" "random.choice([True, False])"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.904 usec per loop
$ python -m timeit -s "import random" "random.choice((True, False))" 
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.846 usec per loop
$ python -m timeit -s "import random" "random.getrandbits(1)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.286 usec per loop
$ python -m timeit -s "import random" "bool(random.getrandbits(1))"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.441 usec per loop
$ python -m timeit -s "import random" "not random.getrandbits(1)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.308 usec per loop
$ python -m timeit -s "from random import getrandbits" "not getrandbits(1)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.262 usec per loop  # not takes about 20us of this

Added this one after seeing @Pavel's answer

$ python -m timeit -s "from random import random" "random() < 0.5"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.115 usec per loop

Variables declared outside function

When Python parses a function, it notes when a variable assignment is made. When there is an assignment, it assumes by default that that variable is a local variable. To declare that the assignment refers to a global variable, you must use the global declaration.

When you access a variable in a function, its value is looked up using the LEGB scoping rules.


So, the first example

  x = 1
  def inc():
      x += 5
  inc()

produces an UnboundLocalError because Python determined x inside inc to be a local variable,

while accessing x works in your second example

 def inc():
    print x

because here, in accordance with the LEGB rule, Python looks for x in the local scope, does not find it, then looks for it in the extended scope, still does not find it, and finally looks for it in the global scope successfully.

Datatables Select All Checkbox

Base on Francisco Daniel's answer I modified some of the Jquery code here's My version. I removed some excess code and use "fa" instead of "far" for the icon. I also remove the "far fa-minus-square" since I can't understand its purpose.

-- Edited --

I added the "draw" event for the button icon to update whenever the table is redrawn or reloaded. Because I noticed when I tried to reload the table using "myTable.ajax.reload()" the button icon is not changing.

Python: Differentiating between row and column vectors

If you want a distiction for this case I would recommend to use a matrix instead, where:

matrix([1,2,3]) == matrix([1,2,3]).transpose()

gives:

matrix([[ True, False, False],
        [False,  True, False],
        [False, False,  True]], dtype=bool)

You can also use a ndarray explicitly adding a second dimension:

array([1,2,3])[None,:]
#array([[1, 2, 3]])

and:

array([1,2,3])[:,None]
#array([[1],
#       [2],
#       [3]])

How do I get list of methods in a Python class?

Note that you need to consider whether you want methods from base classes which are inherited (but not overridden) included in the result. The dir() and inspect.getmembers() operations do include base class methods, but use of the __dict__ attribute does not.

Virtualbox "port forward" from Guest to Host

That's not possible. localhost always defaults to the loopback device on the local operating system.
As your virtual machine runs its own operating system it has its own loopback device which you cannot access from the outside.

If you want to access it e.g. in a browser, connect to it using the local IP instead:

http://192.168.180.1:8000

This is just an example of course, you can find out the actual IP by issuing an ifconfig command on a shell in the guest operating system.

What does T&& (double ampersand) mean in C++11?

An rvalue reference is a type that behaves much like the ordinary reference X&, with several exceptions. The most important one is that when it comes to function overload resolution, lvalues prefer old-style lvalue references, whereas rvalues prefer the new rvalue references:

void foo(X& x);  // lvalue reference overload
void foo(X&& x); // rvalue reference overload

X x;
X foobar();

foo(x);        // argument is lvalue: calls foo(X&)
foo(foobar()); // argument is rvalue: calls foo(X&&)

So what is an rvalue? Anything that is not an lvalue. An lvalue being an expression that refers to a memory location and allows us to take the address of that memory location via the & operator.

It is almost easier to understand first what rvalues accomplish with an example:

 #include <cstring>
 class Sample {
  int *ptr; // large block of memory
  int size;
 public:
  Sample(int sz=0) : ptr{sz != 0 ? new int[sz] : nullptr}, size{sz} 
  {
     if (ptr != nullptr) memset(ptr, 0, sz);
  }
  // copy constructor that takes lvalue 
  Sample(const Sample& s) : ptr{s.size != 0 ? new int[s.size] :\
      nullptr}, size{s.size}
  {
     if (ptr != nullptr) memcpy(ptr, s.ptr, s.size);
     std::cout << "copy constructor called on lvalue\n";
  }

  // move constructor that take rvalue
  Sample(Sample&& s) 
  {  // steal s's resources
     ptr = s.ptr;
     size = s.size;        
     s.ptr = nullptr; // destructive write
     s.size = 0;
     cout << "Move constructor called on rvalue." << std::endl;
  }    
  // normal copy assignment operator taking lvalue
  Sample& operator=(const Sample& s)
  {
   if(this != &s) {
      delete [] ptr; // free current pointer
      size = s.size;

      if (size != 0) {
        ptr = new int[s.size];
        memcpy(ptr, s.ptr, s.size);
      } else 
         ptr = nullptr;
     }
     cout << "Copy Assignment called on lvalue." << std::endl;
     return *this;
  }    
 // overloaded move assignment operator taking rvalue
 Sample& operator=(Sample&& lhs)
 {
   if(this != &s) {
      delete [] ptr; //don't let ptr be orphaned 
      ptr = lhs.ptr;   //but now "steal" lhs, don't clone it.
      size = lhs.size; 
      lhs.ptr = nullptr; // lhs's new "stolen" state
      lhs.size = 0;
   }
   cout << "Move Assignment called on rvalue" << std::endl;
   return *this;
 }
//...snip
};     

The constructor and assignment operators have been overloaded with versions that take rvalue references. Rvalue references allow a function to branch at compile time (via overload resolution) on the condition "Am I being called on an lvalue or an rvalue?". This allowed us to create more efficient constructor and assignment operators above that move resources rather copy them.

The compiler automatically branches at compile time (depending on the whether it is being invoked for an lvalue or an rvalue) choosing whether the move constructor or move assignment operator should be called.

Summing up: rvalue references allow move semantics (and perfect forwarding, discussed in the article link below).

One practical easy-to-understand example is the class template std::unique_ptr. Since a unique_ptr maintains exclusive ownership of its underlying raw pointer, unique_ptr's can't be copied. That would violate their invariant of exclusive ownership. So they do not have copy constructors. But they do have move constructors:

template<class T> class unique_ptr {
  //...snip
 unique_ptr(unique_ptr&& __u) noexcept; // move constructor
};

 std::unique_ptr<int[] pt1{new int[10]};  
 std::unique_ptr<int[]> ptr2{ptr1};// compile error: no copy ctor.  

 // So we must first cast ptr1 to an rvalue 
 std::unique_ptr<int[]> ptr2{std::move(ptr1)};  

std::unique_ptr<int[]> TakeOwnershipAndAlter(std::unique_ptr<int[]> param,\
 int size)      
{
  for (auto i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
     param[i] += 10;
  }
  return param; // implicitly calls unique_ptr(unique_ptr&&)
}

// Now use function     
unique_ptr<int[]> ptr{new int[10]};

// first cast ptr from lvalue to rvalue
unique_ptr<int[]> new_owner = TakeOwnershipAndAlter(\
           static_cast<unique_ptr<int[]>&&>(ptr), 10);

cout << "output:\n";

for(auto i = 0; i< 10; ++i) {
   cout << new_owner[i] << ", ";
}

output:
10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 

static_cast<unique_ptr<int[]>&&>(ptr) is usually done using std::move

// first cast ptr from lvalue to rvalue
unique_ptr<int[]> new_owner = TakeOwnershipAndAlter(std::move(ptr),0);

An excellent article explaining all this and more (like how rvalues allow perfect forwarding and what that means) with lots of good examples is Thomas Becker's C++ Rvalue References Explained. This post relied heavily on his article.

A shorter introduction is A Brief Introduction to Rvalue References by Stroutrup, et. al

Efficiently getting all divisors of a given number

Here is the Java Implementation of this approach:

public static int countAllFactors(int num)
{
    TreeSet<Integer> tree_set = new TreeSet<Integer>();
    for (int i = 1; i * i <= num; i+=1)
    {
        if (num % i == 0)
        {
            tree_set.add(i);
            tree_set.add(num / i);
        }
    }
    System.out.print(tree_set);
    return tree_set.size();
}

How to discover number of *logical* cores on Mac OS X?

Use the system_profiler | grep "Cores" command.

I have a:

MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012.

Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

user$ system_profiler | grep "Cores"
      Total Number of Cores: 4

user$ sysctl -n hw.ncpu
8

According to Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core#Core_i7) there is no Core i7 with 8 physical cores so the Hyperthreading idea must be the case. Ignore sysctl and use the system_profiler value for accuracy. The real question is whether or not you can efficiently run applications with 4 cores (long compile jobs?) without interrupting other processes.

Running a compiler parallelized with 4 cores doesn't appear to dramatically affect regular OS operations. So perhaps treating it as 8 cores is not so bad.

How can I check the size of a file in a Windows batch script?

Just an idea:

You may get the filesize by running command "dir":

>dir thing

Then again it returns so many things.

Maybe you can get it from there if you look for it.

But I am not sure.

String.Replace(char, char) method in C#

PHP equivalent of .NET/Java's toString()

If you're converting anything other than simple types like integers or booleans, you'd need to write your own function/method for the type that you're trying to convert, otherwise PHP will just print the type (such as array, GoogleSniffer, or Bidet).

Curl error: Operation timed out

Your curl gets timed out. Probably the url you are trying that requires more that 30 seconds.

If you are running the script through browser, then set the set_time_limit to zero for infinite seconds.

set_time_limit(0);

Increase the curl's operation time limit using this option CURLOPT_TIMEOUT

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,500); // 500 seconds

It can also happen for infinite redirection from the server. To halt this try to run the script with follow location disabled.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);

How to count objects in PowerShell?

@($output).Count does not always produce correct results. I used the ($output | Measure).Count method.

I found this with VMware Get-VmQuestion cmdlet:

$output = Get-VmQuestion -VM vm1
@($output).Count

The answer it gave is one, whereas

$output

produced no output (the correct answer was 0 as produced with the Measure method).

This only seemed to be the case with 0 and 1. Anything above 1 was correct with limited testing.

How to change environment's font size?

A Simple approach to change the Font Size in Visual Studio Work Environment :

Go To : File -> Preferences -> Settings OR Press CTRL+, i.e. CTRL + COMMA.

This will open settings.json.

You can see 3 tabs there :

  1. User Settings
  2. Workspace Settings
  3. Folder Settings

Go to User Settings and Add this :

{
"editor.fontSize": 16
}

Now just save and close the file.

In above code, 16 represents the font size. Increase of Decrease as per your wish.

jQuery vs document.querySelectorAll

If you are optimizing your page for IE8 or newer, you should really consider whether you need jquery or not. Modern browsers have many assets natively which jquery provides.

If you care for performance, you can have incredible performance benefits (2-10 faster) using native javascript: http://jsperf.com/jquery-vs-native-selector-and-element-style/2

I transformed a div-tagcloud from jquery to native javascript (IE8+ compatible), the results are impressive. 4 times faster with just a little overhead.

                    Number of lines       Execution Time                       
Jquery version :        340                    155ms
Native version :        370                    27ms

You Might Not Need Jquery provides a really nice overview, which native methods replace for which browser version.

Android : Fill Spinner From Java Code Programmatically

// you need to have a list of data that you want the spinner to display
List<String> spinnerArray =  new ArrayList<String>();
spinnerArray.add("item1");
spinnerArray.add("item2");

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
    this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, spinnerArray);

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
Spinner sItems = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
sItems.setAdapter(adapter);

also to find out what is selected you could do something like this

String selected = sItems.getSelectedItem().toString();
if (selected.equals("what ever the option was")) {
}

Django CharField vs TextField

In some cases it is tied to how the field is used. In some DB engines the field differences determine how (and if) you search for text in the field. CharFields are typically used for things that are searchable, like if you want to search for "one" in the string "one plus two". Since the strings are shorter they are less time consuming for the engine to search through. TextFields are typically not meant to be searched through (like maybe the body of a blog) but are meant to hold large chunks of text. Now most of this depends on the DB Engine and like in Postgres it does not matter.

Even if it does not matter, if you use ModelForms you get a different type of editing field in the form. The ModelForm will generate an HTML form the size of one line of text for a CharField and multiline for a TextField.

java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints

this is more likely happening because somewhere along your certificate chain you have a certificate, more likely an old root, which is still signed with the MD2RSA algorythm.

You need to locate it into your certificate store and delete it.

Then get back to your certification authority and ask them for then new root.

It will more likely be the same root with the same validity period but it has been recertified with SHA1RSA.

Hope this help.

What is the difference between re.search and re.match?

The difference is, re.match() misleads anyone accustomed to Perl, grep, or sed regular expression matching, and re.search() does not. :-)

More soberly, As John D. Cook remarks, re.match() "behaves as if every pattern has ^ prepended." In other words, re.match('pattern') equals re.search('^pattern'). So it anchors a pattern's left side. But it also doesn't anchor a pattern's right side: that still requires a terminating $.

Frankly given the above, I think re.match() should be deprecated. I would be interested to know reasons it should be retained.

Make an image responsive - the simplest way

You can try doing

<p>
  <a href="MY WEBSITE LINK" target="_blank">
    <img src="IMAGE LINK" style='width:100%;' border="0" alt="Null">
  </a>
</p>

This should scale your image if in a fluid layout.

For responsive (meaning your layout reacts to the size of the window) you can add a class to the image and use @media queries in CSS to change the width of the image.

Note that changing the height of the image will mess with the ratio.

Replace all double quotes within String

Would not that have to be:

.replaceAll("\"","\\\\\"")

FIVE backslashes in the replacement String.

jQuery position DIV fixed at top on scroll

instead of doing it like that, why not just make the flyout position:fixed, top:0; left:0; once your window has scrolled pass a certain height:

jQuery

  $(window).scroll(function(){
      if ($(this).scrollTop() > 135) {
          $('#task_flyout').addClass('fixed');
      } else {
          $('#task_flyout').removeClass('fixed');
      }
  });

css

.fixed {position:fixed; top:0; left:0;}

Example

The service cannot accept control messages at this time

I kept having this problem whenever I tried to start an app pool more than once. Rather than rebooting, I simply run the Application Information Service. (Note: This service is set to run manually on my system, which may be the reason for the problem.) From its description, it seems obvious that it is somehow involved:

Facilitates the running of interactive applications with additional administrative privileges. If this service is stopped, users will be unable to launch applications with the additional administrative privileges they may require to perform desired user tasks.

Presumably, IIS manager (as well as most other processes running as an administrator) does not maintain admin privileges throughout the life of the process, but instead request admin rights from the Application Information service on a case-by-case basis.
