Tag for questions related to Android's onDestroy() method of Activities and Services.

Android activity life cycle - what are all these methods for?

I like this question and the answers to it, but so far there isn't coverage of less frequently used callbacks like onPostCreate() or onPostResume(). Steve Pomeroy has attempted a diagram including these and how they relate to Android's Fragment life cycle, at https://github.com/xxv/android-lifecycle. I revised Steve's large diagram to include only the Activity portion and formatted it for letter size one-page printout. I've posted it as a text PDF at https://github.com/code-read/android-lifecycle/blob/master/AndroidActivityLifecycle1.pdf and below is its image:

Android Activity Lifecycle

What is Activity.finish() method doing exactly?

onDestroy() is meant for final cleanup - freeing up resources that you can on your own,closing open connections,readers,writers,etc. If you don't override it, the system does what it has to.

on the other hand, finish() just lets the system know that the programmer wants the current Activity to be finished. And hence, it calls up onDestroy() after that.

Something to note:

it isn't necessary that only a call to finish() triggers a call to onDestroy(). No. As we know, the android system is free to kill activities if it feels that there are resources needed by the current Activity that are needed to be freed.

How to Import .bson file format on mongodb

Just for reference if anyone is still struggling with mongorestore.

You have to run monogorestore in terminal/command prompt and not in mongo console.

$ mongorestore -d db_name /path_to_mongo_dump/

for more details you can visit official documentations

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongorestore/

How do you explicitly set a new property on `window` in TypeScript?

If you are using Typescript 3.x, you may be able to omit the declare global part in the other answers and instead just use:

interface Window {
  someValue: string
  another: boolean
}

This worked with me when using Typescript 3.3, WebPack and TSLint.

How to get length of a string using strlen function

 
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
    char str[80];

    int i;

    cout<<"\n enter string:";

    cin.getline(str,80);

    int n=strlen(str);

    cout<<"\n lenght is:"<<n;

    getch();

    return 0;

}

This is the program if you want to use strlen . Hope this helps!

How to return 2 values from a Java method?

You could implement a generic Pair if you are sure that you just need to return two values:

public class Pair<U, V> {

 /**
     * The first element of this <code>Pair</code>
     */
    private U first;

    /**
     * The second element of this <code>Pair</code>
     */
    private V second;

    /**
     * Constructs a new <code>Pair</code> with the given values.
     * 
     * @param first  the first element
     * @param second the second element
     */
    public Pair(U first, V second) {

        this.first = first;
        this.second = second;
    }

//getter for first and second

and then have the method return that Pair:

public Pair<Object, Object> getSomePair();

trace a particular IP and port

Firstly, check the IP address that your application has bound to. It could only be binding to a local address, for example, which would mean that you'd never see it from a different machine regardless of firewall states.

You could try using a portscanner like nmap to see if the port is open and visible externally... it can tell you if the port is closed (there's nothing listening there), open (you should be able to see it fine) or filtered (by a firewall, for example).

Resize iframe height according to content height in it

To directly answer your two subquestions: No, you cannot do this with Ajax, nor can you calculate it with PHP.

What I have done in the past is use a trigger from the iframe'd page in window.onload (NOT domready, as it can take a while for images to load) to pass the page's body height to the parent.

<body onload='parent.resizeIframe(document.body.scrollHeight)'>

Then the parent.resizeIframe looks like this:

function resizeIframe(newHeight)
{
    document.getElementById('blogIframe').style.height = parseInt(newHeight,10) + 10 + 'px';
}

Et voila, you have a robust resizer that triggers once the page is fully rendered with no nasty contentdocument vs contentWindow fiddling :)

Sure, now people will see your iframe at default height first, but this can be easily handled by hiding your iframe at first and just showing a 'loading' image. Then, when the resizeIframe function kicks in, put two extra lines in there that will hide the loading image, and show the iframe for that faux Ajax look.

Of course, this only works from the same domain, so you may want to have a proxy PHP script to embed this stuff, and once you go there, you might as well just embed your blog's RSS feed directly into your site with PHP.

Dynamically generating a QR code with PHP

It's worth adding that, in addition to the QR codes library posted by @abaumg, Google provides a QR Codes API QR Codes APImany thanks to @Toukakoukan for the link update.

To use this , basically:

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&choe=UTF-8
  • 300x300 is the size of the QR image you want to generate,
  • the chl is the url-encoded string you want to change into a QR code, and
  • the choe is the (optional) encoding.

The link, above, gives more detail, but to use it just have the src of an image point to the manipulated value, like so:

<img src="https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&choe=UTF-8" title="Link to Google.com" />

Demo:

bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found

On Windows 10, to create the virtual environment, I replace "pip mkvirtualenv myproject" by "mkvirtualenv myproject" and that works well.

How can I remove the last character of a string in python?

To remove the last character, just use a slice: my_file_path[:-1]. If you only want to remove a specific set of characters, use my_file_path.rstrip('/'). If you see the string as a file path, the operation is os.path.dirname. If the path is in fact a filename, I rather wonder where the extra slash came from in the first place.

Directory Chooser in HTML page

Try this, I think it will work for you:

<input type="file" webkitdirectory directory multiple/>

You can find the demo of this at https://plus.google.com/+AddyOsmani/posts/Dk5UhZ6zfF3 , and if you need further information you can find it here.

Why is there an unexplainable gap between these inline-block div elements?

Found a solution not involving Flex, because Flex doesn't work in older Browsers. Example:

.container {
    display:block;
    position:relative;
    height:150px;
    width:1024px;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding:0px;
    border:0px;
    background:#ececec;
    margin-bottom:10px;
    text-align:justify;
    box-sizing:border-box;
    white-space:nowrap;
    font-size:0pt;
    letter-spacing:-1em;
}

.cols {
    display:inline-block;
    position:relative;
    width:32%;
    height:100%;
    margin:0 auto;
    margin-right:2%;
    border:0px;
    background:lightgreen;  
    box-sizing:border-box;
    padding:10px;
    font-size:10pt;
    letter-spacing:normal;
}

.cols:last-child {
    margin-right:0;
}

How do I find out what version of WordPress is running?

On the Admin panel in the footer you should see the words "Wordpress x.x" where x.x is your version number :)

Alternatively you can echo out the WP_VERSION constant in your script, it's up to you. The former is a lot quicker and easier.

List of All Folders and Sub-folders

As well as find listed in other answers, better shells allow both recurvsive globs and filtering of glob matches, so in zsh for example...

ls -lad **/*(/)

...lists all directories while keeping all the "-l" details that you want, which you'd otherwise need to recreate using something like...

find . -type d -exec ls -ld {} \;

(not quite as easy as the other answers suggest)

The benefit of find is that it's more independent of the shell - more portable, even for system() calls from within a C/C++ program etc..

Set default host and port for ng serve in config file

You can save these in a file, but you have to to put it in .ember-cli (at the moment, at least); see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/1156#issuecomment-227412924

{
"port": 4201,
"liveReload": true,
"host": "dev.domain.org",
"live-reload-port": 49153
}

edit: you can now set these in angular-cli.json as of commit https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/commit/da255b0808dcbe2f9da62086baec98dacc4b7ec9, which is in build 1.0.0-beta.30

Use async await with Array.map

Solution below to process all elements of the array in parallel, asynchronously AND preserve the order:

const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
const randomDelay = () => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, Math.random() * 1000));

const calc = async n => {
  await randomDelay();
  return n * 2;
};

const asyncFunc = async () => {
  const unresolvedPromises = arr.map(n => calc(n));
  const results = await Promise.all(unresolvedPromises);
};

asyncFunc();

Also codepen.

Notice we only "await" for Promise.all. We call calc without "await" multiple times, and we collect an array of unresolved promises right away. Then Promise.all waits for resolution of all of them and returns an array with the resolved values in order.

Creating your own header file in C

 
#ifndef MY_HEADER_H
# define MY_HEADER_H

//put your function headers here

#endif

MY_HEADER_H serves as a double-inclusion guard.

For the function declaration, you only need to define the signature, that is, without parameter names, like this:

int foo(char*);

If you really want to, you can also include the parameter's identifier, but it's not necessary because the identifier would only be used in a function's body (implementation), which in case of a header (parameter signature), it's missing.

This declares the function foo which accepts a char* and returns an int.

In your source file, you would have:

#include "my_header.h"

int foo(char* name) {
   //do stuff
   return 0;
}

Prevent any form of page refresh using jQuery/Javascript

Back in the ole days of CGI we had many forms that would trigger various backend actions. Such as text notifications to groups, print jobs, farming of data, etc.

If the user was on a page that was saying "Please wait... Performing some HUGE job that could take some time.". They were more likely to hit REFRESH and this would be BAD!

WHY? Because it would trigger more slow jobs and eventually bog down the whole thing.

The solution? Allow them to do their form. When they submit their form... Start your job and then direct them to another page that tells them to wait.

Where the page in the middle actually held the form data that was needed to start the job. The WAIT page however contains a javascript history destroy. So they can RELOAD that wait page all they want and it will never trigger the original job to start in the background as that WAIT page only contains the form data needed for the WAIT itself.

Hope that makes sense.

The history destroy function also prevented them from clicking BACK and then refreshing as well.

It was very seamless and worked great for MANY MANY years until the non-profit was wound down.

Example: FORM ENTRY - Collect all their info and when submitted, this triggers your backend job.

RESPONSE from form entry - Returns HTML that performs a redirect to your static wait page and/or POST/GET to another form (the WAIT page).

WAIT PAGE - Only contains FORM data related to wait page as well as javascript to destroy the most recent history. Like (-1 OR -2) to only destroy the most recent pages, but still allows them to go back to their original FORM entry page.

Once they are at your WAIT page, they can click REFRESH as much as they want and it will never spawn the original FORM job on the backend. Instead, your WAIT page should embrace a META timed refresh itself so it can always check on the status of their job. When their job is completed, they are redirected away from the wait page to whereever you wish.

If they do manually REFRESH... They are simply adding one more check of their job status in there.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

find all the name using mysql query which start with the letter 'a'

I would go for substr() functionality in MySql.

Basically, this function takes account of three parameters i.e. substr(str,pos,len)

http://www.w3resource.com/mysql/string-functions/mysql-substr-function.php

SELECT * FROM artists 
WHERE lower(substr(name,1,1)) in ('a','b','c');

How to install SimpleJson Package for Python

I would recommend EasyInstall, a package management application for Python.

Once you've installed EasyInstall, you should be able to go to a command window and type:

easy_install simplejson

This may require putting easy_install.exe on your PATH first, I don't remember if the EasyInstall setup does this for you (something like C:\Python25\Scripts).

html cellpadding the left side of a cell

This is what css is for... HTML doesn't allow for unequal padding. When you say that you don't want to use style sheets, does this mean you're OK with inline css?

<table>
    <tr>
        <td style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px;">Content</td>
        <td style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px;">Content</td>
    </tr>
</table>

You could also use JS to do this if you're desperate not to use stylesheets for some reason.

Docker "ERROR: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network"

Following Peter Hauge's comment, upon running docker network ls I saw (among other lines) the following:

NETWORK ID          NAME                                    DRIVER              SCOPE
dc6a83d13f44        bridge                                  bridge              local
ea98225c7754        docker_gwbridge                         bridge              local
107dcd8aa889        host                                    host                local

The line with NAME and DRIVER as both host seems to be what he is referring to with "networks already created on your host". So, following https://gist.github.com/bastman/5b57ddb3c11942094f8d0a97d461b430, I ran the command

docker network rm $(docker network ls | grep "bridge" | awk '/ / { print $1 }')

Now docker-compose up works (although newnym.py produces an error).

Change user-agent for Selenium web-driver

To build on JJC's helpful answer that builds on Louis's helpful answer...

With PhantomJS 2.1.1-windows this line works:

driver.execute_script("return navigator.userAgent")

If it doesn't work, you can still get the user agent via the log (to build on Mma's answer): 

from selenium import webdriver
import json
from fake_useragent import UserAgent

dcap = dict(DesiredCapabilities.PHANTOMJS)
dcap["phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent"] = (UserAgent().random)
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=r"your_path", desired_capabilities=dcap)
har = json.loads(driver.get_log('har')[0]['message']) # get the log
print('user agent: ', har['log']['entries'][0]['request']['headers'][1]['value'])

When to use pthread_exit() and when to use pthread_join() in Linux?

As explained in the openpub documentations,

pthread_exit() will exit the thread that calls it.

In your case since the main calls it, main thread will terminate whereas your spawned threads will continue to execute. This is mostly used in cases where the main thread is only required to spawn threads and leave the threads to do their job

pthread_join will suspend execution of the thread that has called it unless the target thread terminates

This is useful in cases when you want to wait for thread/s to terminate before further processing in main thread.

C: scanf to array

Use 

scanf("%d", &array[0]);

and use == for comparision instead of =

Postgresql 9.2 pg_dump version mismatch

An alternative answer that I don't think anyone else has covered.

If you have multiple PG clusters installed (as I do), then you can view those using pg_lsclusters.

You should be able to see the version and cluster from the list displayed.

From there, you can then do this:

pg_dump --cluster=9.6/main books > books.out

Obviously, replace the version and cluster name with the appropriate one for your circumstances from what is returned by pg_lsclusters separating the version and cluster with a /. This targets the specific cluster you wish to run against.

SQL Server NOLOCK and joins

I won't address the READ UNCOMMITTED argument, just your original question.

Yes, you need WITH(NOLOCK) on each table of the join. No, your queries are not the same.

Try this exercise. Begin a transaction and insert a row into table1 and table2. Don't commit or rollback the transaction yet. At this point your first query will return successfully and include the uncommitted rows; your second query won't return because table2 doesn't have the WITH(NOLOCK) hint on it.

Elasticsearch query to return all records

To return all records from all indices you can do:

curl -XGET http://35.195.120.21:9200/_all/_search?size=50&pretty

Output:

  "took" : 866,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 25,
    "successful" : 25,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : 512034694,
    "max_score" : 1.0,
    "hits" : [ {
      "_index" : "grafana-dash",
      "_type" : "dashboard",
      "_id" : "test",
      "_score" : 1.0,
       ...

How do I print the type or class of a variable in Swift?

Swift version 4:

print("\(type(of: self)) ,\(#function)")
// within a function of a class

Thanks @Joshua Dance

@ variables in Ruby on Rails

A local variable is only accessible from within the block of it's initialization. Also a local variable begins with a lower case letter (a-z) or underscore (_).

And instance variable is an instance of self and begins with a @ Also an instance variable belongs to the object itself. Instance variables are the ones that you perform methods on i.e. .send etc

example:

@user = User.all

The @user is the instance variable

And Uninitialized instance variables have a value of Nil

href="javascript:" vs. href="javascript:void(0)"

When using javascript: in navigation the return value of the executed script, if there is one, becomes the content of a new document which is displayed in the browser. The void operator in JavaScript causes the return value of the expression following it to return undefined, which prevents this action from happening. You can try it yourself, copy the following into the address bar and press return:

javascript:"hello"

The result is a new page with only the word "hello". Now change it to:

javascript:void "hello"

...nothing happens.

When you write javascript: on its own there's no script being executed, so the result of that script execution is also undefined, so the browser does nothing. This makes the following more or less equivalent:

javascript:undefined;
javascript:void 0;
javascript:

With the exception that undefined can be overridden by declaring a variable with the same name. Use of void 0 is generally pointless, and it's basically been whittled down from void functionThatReturnsSomething().

As others have mentioned, it's better still to use return false; in the click handler than use the javascript: protocol.

How to add property to object in PHP >= 5.3 strict mode without generating error

Do it like this:

$foo = new stdClass();
$foo->{"bar"} = '1234';

now try:

echo $foo->bar; // should display 1234

Laravel - display a PDF file in storage without forcing download?

Update for 2017

As of Laravel 5.2 documented under Other response types you can now use the file helper to display a file in the user's browser.

return response()->file($pathToFile);

return response()->file($pathToFile, $headers);

Source/thanks to below answer

Outdated answer from 2014

You just need to send the contents of the file to the browser and tell it the content type rather than tell the browser to download it.

$filename = 'test.pdf';
$path = storage_path($filename);

return Response::make(file_get_contents($path), 200, [
    'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
    'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="'.$filename.'"'
]);

If you use Response::download it automatically sets the Content-Disposition to attachment which causes the browser to download it. See this question for the differences between Content-Disposition inline and attachment.

Edit: As per the request in the comments, I should point out that you'd need to use Response at the beginning of your file in order to use the Facade.

use Response;

Or the fully qualified namespace if Response isn't aliased to Illuminate's Response Facade.

How to remove part of a string?

You can use str_replace(), which is defined as:

str_replace($search, $replace, $subject)

So you could write the code as:

$subject = 'REGISTER 11223344 here' ;
$search = '11223344' ;
$trimmed = str_replace($search, '', $subject) ;
echo $trimmed ;

If you need better matching via regular expressions you can use preg_replace().

How do I make a splash screen?

Splash screens should not be loaded from a layout file, there might still be some lag when loading it.

The best way is to create a Theme just for your SplashScreenActivity and set the android:windowBackground to a drawable ressource.

https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/splash-screens-the-right-way/

In a nutshell:

Declare your SplashScreenActivity in the manifest:

<activity
        android:name=".activities.SplashScreenActivity"
        android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

In your SplashScreenActivity.java:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity_.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish();

}

Next create the ressource for the background window of your theme:

<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.Bumpfie.Base">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash</item>
</style>

Drawable file splash.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/white"/>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:gravity="center"
            android:src="@drawable/app_logo"/>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Python Decimals format

If you have Python 2.6 or newer, use format:

'{0:.3g}'.format(num)

For Python 2.5 or older:

'%.3g'%(num)

Explanation:

{0}tells format to print the first argument -- in this case, num.

Everything after the colon (:) specifies the format_spec.

.3 sets the precision to 3.

g removes insignificant zeros. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf#fprintf

For example:

tests=[(1.00, '1'),
       (1.2, '1.2'),
       (1.23, '1.23'),
       (1.234, '1.23'),
       (1.2345, '1.23')]

for num, answer in tests:
    result = '{0:.3g}'.format(num)
    if result != answer:
        print('Error: {0} --> {1} != {2}'.format(num, result, answer))
        exit()
    else:
        print('{0} --> {1}'.format(num,result))

yields

1.0 --> 1
1.2 --> 1.2
1.23 --> 1.23
1.234 --> 1.23
1.2345 --> 1.23

Using Python 3.6 or newer, you could use f-strings:

In [40]: num = 1.234; f'{num:.3g}'
Out[40]: '1.23'

How to fix "unable to write 'random state' " in openssl

Change <select>'s option and trigger events with JavaScript

Fiddle of my solution is here. But just in case it expires I will paste the code as well.

HTML:

<select id="sel">
  <option value='1'>One</option>
  <option value='2'>Two</option>
  <option value='3'>Three</option>
</select>
<input type="button" id="button" value="Change option to 2" />

JS:

var sel = document.getElementById('sel'),
    button = document.getElementById('button');

button.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
    sel.options[1].selected = true;

    // firing the event properly according to StackOverflow
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2856513/how-can-i-trigger-an-onchange-event-manually
    if ("createEvent" in document) {
        var evt = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
        evt.initEvent("change", false, true);
        sel.dispatchEvent(evt);
    }
    else {
        sel.fireEvent("onchange");
    }
});

sel.addEventListener('change', function (e) {
    alert('changed');
});

Using an if statement to check if a div is empty

You can use .is().

if( $('#leftmenu').is(':empty') ) {
    // ...

Or you could just test the length property to see if one was found.

if( $('#leftmenu:empty').length ) {
    // ...

Keep in mind that empty means no white space either. If there's a chance that there will be white space, then you can use $.trim() and check for the length of the content.

if( !$.trim( $('#leftmenu').html() ).length ) {
    // ...

Passing variables to the next middleware using next() in Express.js

Attach your variable to the req object, not res.

Instead of

res.somevariable = variable1;

Have:

req.somevariable = variable1;

As others have pointed out, res.locals is the recommended way of passing data through middleware.

Pointer to class data member "::*"

It's a "pointer to member" - the following code illustrates its use:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Car
{
    public:
    int speed;
};

int main()
{
    int Car::*pSpeed = &Car::speed;

    Car c1;
    c1.speed = 1;       // direct access
    cout << "speed is " << c1.speed << endl;
    c1.*pSpeed = 2;     // access via pointer to member
    cout << "speed is " << c1.speed << endl;
    return 0;
}

As to why you would want to do that, well it gives you another level of indirection that can solve some tricky problems. But to be honest, I've never had to use them in my own code.

Edit: I can't think off-hand of a convincing use for pointers to member data. Pointer to member functions can be used in pluggable architectures, but once again producing an example in a small space defeats me. The following is my best (untested) try - an Apply function that would do some pre &post processing before applying a user-selected member function to an object:

void Apply( SomeClass * c, void (SomeClass::*func)() ) {
    // do hefty pre-call processing
    (c->*func)();  // call user specified function
    // do hefty post-call processing
}

The parentheses around c->*func are necessary because the ->* operator has lower precedence than the function call operator.

jQuery function after .append

You've got many valid answers in here but none of them really tells you why it works as it does.

In JavaScript commands are executed one at a time, synchronously in the order they come, unless you explicitly tell them to be asynchronous by using a timeout or interval.

This means that your .append method will be executed and nothing else (disregarding any potential timeouts or intervals that may exist) will execute until that method have finished its job.

To summarize, there's no need for a callback since .append will be run synchronously.

How do I debug error ECONNRESET in Node.js?

I had this Error too and was able to solve it after days of debugging and analysis:

my solution

For me VirtualBox (for Docker) was the Problem. I had Port Forwarding configured on my VM and the error only occured on the forwarded port.

general conclusions

The following observations may save you days of work I had to invest:

  • For me the problem only occurred on connections from localhost to localhost on one port. -> check changing any of these constants solves the problem.
  • For me the problem only occurred on my machine -> let someone else try it.
  • For me the problem only occurred after a while and couldn't be reproduced reliably
  • My Problem couldn't be inspected with any of nodes or expresses (debug-)tools. -> don't waste time on this

-> figure out if something is messing around with your network (-settings), like VMs, Firewalls etc., this is probably the cause of the problem.

dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

I don't exactly understand what's the problem. Incomplete type is not the type that's "missing". Incompete type is a type that is declared but not defined (in case of struct types). To find the non-defining declaration is easy. As for the finding the missing definition... the compiler won't help you here, since that is what caused the error in the first place.

A major reason for incomplete type errors in C are typos in type names, which prevent the compiler from matching one name to the other (like in matching the declaration to the definition). But again, the compiler cannot help you here. Compiler don't make guesses about typos.

How to fix: "HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode"

The way I solved it is by setting the AVD memory limit and HAXM memory to be equal in size which is 1 GB = 1024 MB. The AVD cannot have higher memory limit than the HAXM.

1. Setting the HAXM memory to be 1024 M

The only way to change the HAXM memory is by installing it again. I did it using the terminal. Locate Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager in your machine. Then change directory that folder to run the installation script.

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

-OR-

cd ~/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

May need to change permissions:

sudo chmod 755 "HAXM installation"

Then:

./HAXM\ installation -m 1024

-OR-

sudo ./"HAXM installation" -m 1024

2. Setting the virtual device the same size with HAXM memory limit

enter image description here

This works for me. Good luck!

What does /p mean in set /p?

For future reference, you can get help for any command by using the /? switch, which should explain what switches do what.

According to the set /? screen, the format for set /p is SET /P variable=[promptString] which would indicate that the p in /p is "prompt." It just prints in your example because <nul passes in a nul character which immediately ends the prompt so it just acts like it's printing. It's still technically prompting for input, it's just immediately receiving it.

/L in for /L generates a List of numbers.

Can I set text box to readonly when using Html.TextBoxFor?

Updated for modern versions of .NET per @1c1cle's suggestion in a comment:

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.SomeFieldName, new {{"readonly", "true"}}) %>

Do realize that this is not a "secure" way to do this as somebody can inject javascript to change this.

Something to be aware of is that if you set that readonly value to false, you actually won't see any change in behavior! So if you need to drive this based on a variable, you cannot simply plug that variable in there. Instead you need to use conditional logic to simply not pass that readonly attribute in.

Here is an untested suggestion for how to do this (if there's a problem with this, you can always do an if/else):

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.SomeFieldName, shouldBeReadOnlyBoolean ? new {{"readonly", "true"}} : null) %>

How to get $(this) selected option in jQuery?

Most Pythonic way to provide global configuration variables in config.py?

I did that once. Ultimately I found my simplified basicconfig.py adequate for my needs. You can pass in a namespace with other objects for it to reference if you need to. You can also pass in additional defaults from your code. It also maps attribute and mapping style syntax to the same configuration object.

Determine if a cell (value) is used in any formula

@UniqueConstraint and @Column(unique = true) in hibernate annotation

As said before, @Column(unique = true) is a shortcut to UniqueConstraint when it is only a single field.

From the example you gave, there is a huge difference between both.

@Column(unique = true)
@ManyToOne(optional = false, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private ProductSerialMask mask;

@Column(unique = true)
@ManyToOne(optional = false, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private Group group;

This code implies that both mask and group have to be unique, but separately. That means that if, for example, you have a record with a mask.id = 1 and tries to insert another record with mask.id = 1, you'll get an error, because that column should have unique values. The same aplies for group.

On the other hand,

@Table(
   name = "product_serial_group_mask", 
   uniqueConstraints = {@UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"mask", "group"})}
)

Implies that the values of mask + group combined should be unique. That means you can have, for example, a record with mask.id = 1 and group.id = 1, and if you try to insert another record with mask.id = 1 and group.id = 2, it'll be inserted successfully, whereas in the first case it wouldn't.

If you'd like to have both mask and group to be unique separately and to that at class level, you'd have to write the code as following:

@Table(
        name = "product_serial_group_mask",
        uniqueConstraints = {
                @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "mask"),
                @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "group")
        }
)

This has the same effect as the first code block.

How to link to specific line number on github

@broc.seib has a sophisticated answer, I just want to point out that instead of pressing y to get the permanent link, github now has a very simple UI that helps you to achieve it

  1. Select line by clicking on the line number or select multiple lines by downholding shift(same as how you select multiple folders in file explorer) enter image description here

  2. on the right hand corner of the first line you selected, expand ... and click copy permalink enter image description here

  3. that's it, a link with selected lines and commit hash is copied to your clipboard: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/c82b7f332aff606af6c9c163da75f1e86514125e/Doc/Makefile#L1-L4

How do I show a running clock in Excel?

See the below code (taken from this post)

Put this code in a Module in VBA (Developer Tab -> Visual Basic)

Dim TimerActive As Boolean
Sub StartTimer()
    Start_Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Start_Timer()
    TimerActive = True
    Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "Timer"
End Sub
Private Sub Stop_Timer()
    TimerActive = False
End Sub
Private Sub Timer()
    If TimerActive Then
        ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Value = Time
        Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "Timer"
    End If
End Sub

You can invoke the "StartTimer" function when the workbook opens and have it repeat every minute by adding the below code to your workbooks Visual Basic "This.Workbook" class in the Visual Basic editor.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Module1.StartTimer
End Sub

Now, every time 1 minute passes the Timer procedure will be invoked, and set cell A1 equal to the current time.

Google Chrome default opening position and size

Maybe a little late, but I found an easier way to set the defaults! You have to right-click on the right of your tab and choose "size", then click on your window, and it should keep it as the default size.

Choice between vector::resize() and vector::reserve()

resize() not only allocates memory, it also creates as many instances as the desired size which you pass to resize() as argument. But reserve() only allocates memory, it doesn't create instances. That is,

std::vector<int> v1;
v1.resize(1000); //allocation + instance creation
cout <<(v1.size() == 1000)<< endl;   //prints 1
cout <<(v1.capacity()==1000)<< endl; //prints 1

std::vector<int> v2;
v2.reserve(1000); //only allocation
cout <<(v2.size() == 1000)<< endl;   //prints 0
cout <<(v2.capacity()==1000)<< endl; //prints 1

Output (online demo):

1
1
0
1

So resize() may not be desirable, if you don't want the default-created objects. It will be slow as well. Besides, if you push_back() new elements to it, the size() of the vector will further increase by allocating new memory (which also means moving the existing elements to the newly allocated memory space). If you have used reserve() at the start to ensure there is already enough allocated memory, the size() of the vector will increase when you push_back() to it, but it will not allocate new memory again until it runs out of the space you reserved for it.

Generating an MD5 checksum of a file

 
hashlib.md5(pathlib.Path('path/to/file').read_bytes()).hexdigest()

C - error: storage size of ‘a’ isn’t known

In this case the user has done mistake in definition and its usage. If someone has done a typedef to a structure the same should be used without using struct following is the example.

typedef struct

   int a;
}studyT;

When using in a function 

int main()
{
   struct studyT study; // This will give above error.
   studyT stud; // This will eliminate the above error.
   return 0;
}

ComboBox with TextBox (Click Here)

Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference, But it is NOT a null reference

This exception is also thrown when a non-existent property is being updated dynamically, using reflection.

If one is using reflection to dynamically update property values, it's worth checking to make sure the passed PropertyName is identical to the actual property.

In my case, I was attempting to update Employee.firstName, but the property was actually Employee.FirstName.

Worth keeping in mind. :)

jQuery - determine if input element is textbox or select list

You could do this:

if( ctrl[0].nodeName.toLowerCase() === 'input' ) {
    // it was an input
}

or this, which is slower, but shorter and cleaner:

if( ctrl.is('input') ) {
    // it was an input
}

If you want to be more specific, you can test the type:

if( ctrl.is('input:text') ) {
    // it was an input
}

Python "SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file"

I had the same issue but it was because I copied and pasted the string as it is. Later when I manually typed the string as it is the error vanished.

I had the error due to the - sign. When I replaced it with manually inputting a - the error was solved.

Copied string 10 + 3 * 5/(16 - 4)

Manually typed string 10 + 3 * 5/(16 - 4)

you can clearly see there is a bit of difference between both the hyphens.

I think it's because of the different formatting used by different OS or maybe just different software.

How to urlencode a querystring in Python?

Another thing that might not have been mentioned already is that urllib.urlencode() will encode empty values in the dictionary as the string None instead of having that parameter as absent. I don't know if this is typically desired or not, but does not fit my use case, hence I have to use quote_plus.

How to run or debug php on Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

The best solution for me was to add a key binding to run PHP code directly in the terminal

To do so you just need to download terminal-command-keys from VS code extensions marketplace:

enter image description here

Then got to File>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts and click on the following icon at the upper right corner:

enter image description here

It will open up the keybindings.json file

Add the following settings

[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+s",
        "command":"terminalCommandKeys.run",
        "when": "editorLangId == php",
        "args": {
            "cmd":"php ${file}",
            "newTerminal":true,
            "saveAllfiles": true,
            "showTerminal": true,
        }
    }
]

key is the shortcut to run your PHP file (I use ctrl+s) you can change it as you wish

when to run different commands for different file types (I set it for PHP files only) vscode's "when" clauses

See the full settings documentation from here

That's it, I hope it helps.

Detect if Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 is installed

you can search in registry.Actually I do'nt have vs2012 but I have vs2010.

There are 3 different (but very similar) registry keys for each of the 3 platform packages. Each key has a DWORD value called “Installed” with a value of 1.

  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\VC\VCRedist\x86

  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\VC\VCRedist\x64

  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\VC\VCRedist\ia64

You can use registry function for that......

Difference between binary semaphore and mutex

You obviously use mutex to lock a data in one thread getting accessed by another thread at the same time. Assume that you have just called lock() and in the process of accessing data. This means that you don’t expect any other thread (or another instance of the same thread-code) to access the same data locked by the same mutex. That is, if it is the same thread-code getting executed on a different thread instance, hits the lock, then the lock() should block the control flow there. This applies to a thread that uses a different thread-code, which is also accessing the same data and which is also locked by the same mutex. In this case, you are still in the process of accessing the data and you may take, say, another 15 secs to reach the mutex unlock (so that the other thread that is getting blocked in mutex lock would unblock and would allow the control to access the data). Do you at any cost allow yet another thread to just unlock the same mutex, and in turn, allow the thread that is already waiting (blocking) in the mutex lock to unblock and access the data? Hope you got what I am saying here? As per, agreed upon universal definition!,

  • with “mutex” this can’t happen. No other thread can unlock the lock in your thread
  • with “binary-semaphore” this can happen. Any other thread can unlock the lock in your thread

So, if you are very particular about using binary-semaphore instead of mutex, then you should be very careful in “scoping” the locks and unlocks. I mean that every control-flow that hits every lock should hit an unlock call, also there shouldn’t be any “first unlock”, rather it should be always “first lock”.

How do I get the absolute directory of a file in bash?

Problem with the above answer comes with files input with "./" like "./my-file.txt"

Is there a way to get colored text in GitHubflavored Markdown?

You can not color plain text in a GitHub README.md file. You can however add color to code samples in your GitHub README.md file with the tags below.

To do this, just add tags, such as these samples, to your README.md file:

```json
   // Code for coloring
```
```html
   // Code for coloring
```
```js
   // Code for coloring
```
```css
   // Code for coloring
```
// etc.
**Colored Code Example, JavaScript:** place this code below, in your GitHub README.md file and see how it colors the code for you. 
  import { Component } from '@angular/core';
  import { MovieService } from './services/movie.service';

  @Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
    providers: [ MovieService ]
  })
  export class AppComponent {
    title = 'app works!';
  }

No "pre" or "code" tags are needed.

This is now covered in the GitHub Markdown documentation (about half way down the page, there's an example using Ruby). GitHub uses Linguist to identify and highlight syntax - you can find a full list of supported languages (as well as their markdown keywords) over in the Linguist's YAML file.

What is the idiomatic Go equivalent of C's ternary operator?

One-liners, though shunned by the creators, have their place.

This one solves the lazy evaluation problem by letting you, optionally, pass functions to be evaluated if necessary:

func FullTernary(e bool, a, b interface{}) interface{} {
    if e {
        if reflect.TypeOf(a).Kind() == reflect.Func {
            return a.(func() interface{})()
        }
        return a
    }
    if reflect.TypeOf(b).Kind() == reflect.Func {
        return b.(func() interface{})()
    }
    return b
}

func demo() {
    a := "hello"
    b := func() interface{} { return a + " world" }
    c := func() interface{} { return func() string { return "bye" } }
    fmt.Println(FullTernary(true, a, b).(string)) // cast shown, but not required
    fmt.Println(FullTernary(false, a, b))
    fmt.Println(FullTernary(true, b, a))
    fmt.Println(FullTernary(false, b, a))
    fmt.Println(FullTernary(true, c, nil).(func() string)())
}

Output

hello
hello world
hello world
hello
bye
  • Functions passed in must return an interface{} to satisfy the internal cast operation.
  • Depending on the context, you might choose to cast the output to a specific type.
  • If you wanted to return a function from this, you would need to wrap it as shown with c.

The standalone solution here is also nice, but could be less clear for some uses.

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

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

Eg: Increment a variable till 5 is Looping.

    int count = 0;

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

        count = count + 1;

   }

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

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

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

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

   }

Now about all the Loops:

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

For Loop :

int sum = 0; 

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

  sum += i; 

}

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

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

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

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

While Loop :

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

    while (i<100) {

      sum += i; 
      i++;

    }

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

do-While :

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

    do{ 

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

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

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

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

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

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

    System.out.println(str);     

 }

Default Values to Stored Procedure in Oracle

Default-Values are only considered for parameters NOT given to the function.

So given a function

procedure foo( bar1 IN number DEFAULT 3,
     bar2 IN number DEFAULT 5,
     bar3 IN number DEFAULT 8 );

if you call this procedure with no arguments then it will behave as if called with

foo( bar1 => 3,
     bar2 => 5,
     bar3 => 8 );

but 'NULL' is still a parameter.

foo( 4,
     bar3 => NULL );

This will then act like

foo( bar1 => 4,
     bar2 => 5,
     bar3 => Null );

( oracle allows you to either give the parameter in order they are specified in the procedure, specified by name, or first in order and then by name )

one way to treat NULL the same as a default value would be to default the value to NULL 

procedure foo( bar1 IN number DEFAULT NULL,
     bar2 IN number DEFAULT NULL,
     bar3 IN number DEFAULT NULL );

and using a variable with the desired value then

procedure foo( bar1 IN number DEFAULT NULL,
     bar2 IN number DEFAULT NULL,
     bar3 IN number DEFAULT NULL )
AS
     v_bar1    number := NVL( bar1, 3);
     v_bar2    number := NVL( bar2, 5);
     v_bar3    number := NVL( bar3, 8);

Adding a Button to a WPF DataGrid

First create a DataGridTemplateColumn to contain the button:

<DataGridTemplateColumn>
  <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> 
    <DataTemplate> 
      <Button Click="ShowHideDetails">Details</Button> 
    </DataTemplate> 
  </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> 
</DataGridTemplateColumn>

When the button is clicked, update the containing DataGridRow's DetailsVisibility:

void ShowHideDetails(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    for (var vis = sender as Visual; vis != null; vis = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(vis) as Visual)
    if (vis is DataGridRow)
    {
        var row = (DataGridRow)vis;
        row.DetailsVisibility = 
        row.DetailsVisibility == Visibility.Visible ? Visibility.Collapsed : Visibility.Visible;
        break;
    }
}

How to avoid annoying error "declared and not used"

I ran into this while I was learning Go 2 years ago, so I declared my own function.

// UNUSED allows unused variables to be included in Go programs
func UNUSED(x ...interface{}) {}

And then you can use it like so:

UNUSED(x)
UNUSED(x, y)
UNUSED(x, y, z)

The great thing about it is, you can pass anything into UNUSED.

Is it better than the following?

_, _, _ = x, y, z

That's up to you.

IF a cell contains a string

SEARCH does not return 0 if there is no match, it returns #VALUE!. So you have to wrap calls to SEARCH with IFERROR.

For example...

=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("cat", A1), 0), "cat", "none")

or

=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("cat",A1),0),"cat",IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("22",A1),0),"22","none"))

Here, IFERROR returns the value from SEARCH when it works; the given value of 0 otherwise.

how to read a text file using scanner in Java?

This should help you..:

import java.io.*;
import static java.lang.System.*;
/**
* Write a description of class InRead here.
* 
* @author (your name) 
* @version (a version number or a date)
*/
public class InRead
{
public InRead(String Recipe)
{
    find(Recipe);
}
public void find(String Name){
    String newRecipe= Name+".txt";
    try{
        FileReader fr= new FileReader(newRecipe);
        BufferedReader br= new BufferedReader(fr);

        String str;


    while ((str=br.readLine()) != null){
            out.println(str + "\n");
        }
        br.close();

    }catch (IOException e){
        out.println("File Not Found!");
    }
}

}

Guid is all 0's (zeros)?

Lessons to learn from this:

1) Guid is a value type, not a reference type.

2) Calling the default constructor new S() on any value type always gives you back the all-zero form of that value type, whatever it is. It is logically the same as default(S).

html5 <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera"> display as image rather than "choose file" button

You have to use Javascript Filereader for this. (Introduction into filereader-api: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/)

Once the user have choose a image you can read the file-path of the chosen image and place it into your html.

Example: 

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <input type='file' id="imgInp" />
    <img id="blah" src="#" alt="your image" />
</form>

Javascript:

function readURL(input) {
    if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onload = function (e) {
            $('#blah').attr('src', e.target.result);
        }

        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
    }
}

$("#imgInp").change(function(){
    readURL(this);
});

Creating an empty list in Python

list() is inherently slower than [], because

  1. there is symbol lookup (no way for python to know in advance if you did not just redefine list to be something else!),

  2. there is function invocation,

  3. then it has to check if there was iterable argument passed (so it can create list with elements from it) ps. none in our case but there is "if" check

In most cases the speed difference won't make any practical difference though.

How do I read a string entered by the user in C?

I think the best and safest way to read strings entered by the user is using getline()

Here's an example how to do this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char *buffer = NULL;
    int read;
    unsigned int len;
    read = getline(&buffer, &len, stdin);
    if (-1 != read)
        puts(buffer);
    else
        printf("No line read...\n");

    printf("Size read: %d\n Len: %d\n", read, len);
    free(buffer);
    return 0;
}

How do I check/uncheck all checkboxes with a button using jQuery?

try this 

$(".checkAll").click(function() {
    if("checkall" === $(this).val()) {
         $(".cb-element").attr('checked', true);
         $(this).val("uncheckall"); //change button text
    }
    else if("uncheckall" === $(this).val()) {
         $(".cb-element").attr('checked', false);
         $(this).val("checkall"); //change button text
    }
});

Post request in Laravel - Error - 419 Sorry, your session/ 419 your page has expired

For me the error comes once the session become invalid and user tries to submit the post request. The csrf_token were no longer valid. so I overcomes it by changing the Handler.php in Exceptions directory and try catch the token mismatch exception like this.

The render function was like this

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

Then I modify it to look like this

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{

    if ($exception instanceof \Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException){ // <<<=========== the Code
        if ($request->expectsJson()) {
            return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
        }

        return redirect('/home')->with('message', 'You page session expired. Please try again');
    }
    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

Simply you choose the route that can handle the token refresh operation.

Kubernetes how to make Deployment to update image

UPDATE 2019-06-24

Based on the @Jodiug comment if you have a 1.15 version you can use the command:

kubectl rollout restart deployment/demo

Read more on the issue:

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/13488

Well there is an interesting discussion about this subject on the kubernetes GitHub project. See the issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/33664

From the solutions described there, I would suggest one of two.

First

1.Prepare deployment

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: demo
spec:
  replicas: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: demo
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: demo
        image: registry.example.com/apps/demo:master
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        env:
        - name: FOR_GODS_SAKE_PLEASE_REDEPLOY
          value: 'THIS_STRING_IS_REPLACED_DURING_BUILD'

2.Deploy

sed -ie "s/THIS_STRING_IS_REPLACED_DURING_BUILD/$(date)/g" deployment.yml
kubectl apply -f deployment.yml

Second (one liner):

kubectl patch deployment web -p \
  "{\"spec\":{\"template\":{\"metadata\":{\"labels\":{\"date\":\"`date +'%s'`\"}}}}}"

Of course the imagePullPolicy: Always is required on both cases.

What data type to use for money in Java?

BigDecimal is the best data type to use for currency.

There are a whole lot of containers for currency, but they all use BigDecimal as the underlying data type. You won't go wrong with BigDecimal, probably using BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN rounding.

node.js + mysql connection pooling

It's a good approach.

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

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

module.exports = getConnection;

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

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

connection.release();

How to create a project from existing source in Eclipse and then find it?

In the package explorer and the navigation screen you should now see the project you created. Note that eclipse will not copy your files, it will just allow you to use the existing source and edit it from eclipse.

sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file

One reason might be running the code in a path that doesn't match with your specified path for the database. For example if in your code you have:

conn = lite.connect('folder_A/my_database.db')

And you run the code inside the folder_A or other places that doesn't have a folder_A it will raise such error. The reason is that SQLite will create the database file if it doesn't exist not the folder.

One other way for getting around this problem might be wrapping your connecting command in a try-except expression and creating the directory if it raises sqlite3.OperationalError.

from os import mkdir import sqlite3 as lite

try:
    conn = lite.connect('folder_A/my_database.db')
except lite.OperationalError:
    mkdir('folder_A')
finally:
    conn = lite.connect('folder_A/my_database.db')

Why isn't ProjectName-Prefix.pch created automatically in Xcode 6?

To add .pch file-

1) Add new .pch file to your project->New file->other->PCH file

2) Goto your project's build setting.

3) Search "prefix header". You can find that under Apple LLVM.

4) Paste this in the field $(SRCROOT)/yourPrefixHeaderFileName.pch

5) Clean and build the project. That's it!!!

Check if number is decimal

You can get most of what you want from is_float, but if you really need to know whether it has a decimal in it, your function above isn't terribly far (albeit the wrong language):

function is_decimal( $val )
{
    return is_numeric( $val ) && floor( $val ) != $val;
}

Only variable references should be returned by reference - Codeigniter

It's not a better idea to override the core.common file of codeigniter. Because that's the more tested and system files....

I make a solution for this problem. In your ckeditor_helper.php file line- 65

if($k !== end (array_keys($data['config']))) {
       $return .= ",";
}

Change this to-->

 $segment = array_keys($data['config']);
    if($k !== end($segment)) {
           $return .= ",";
    }

I think this is the best solution and then your problem notice will dissappear.

Can functions be passed as parameters?

You can pass function as parameter to a Go function. Here is an example of passing function as parameter to another Go function:

package main

import "fmt"

type fn func(int) 

func myfn1(i int) {
    fmt.Printf("\ni is %v", i)
}
func myfn2(i int) {
    fmt.Printf("\ni is %v", i)
}
func test(f fn, val int) {
    f(val)
}
func main() {
    test(myfn1, 123)
    test(myfn2, 321)
}

You can try this out at: https://play.golang.org/p/9mAOUWGp0k

What's the fastest algorithm for sorting a linked list?

You can copy it into an array and then sort it.

  • Copying into array O(n),

  • sorting O(nlgn) (if you use a fast algorithm like merge sort ),

  • copying back to linked list O(n) if necessary,

so it is gonna be O(nlgn).

note that if you do not know the number of elements in the linked list you won't know the size of array. If you are coding in java you can use an Arraylist for example.

Click a button programmatically

WARNING: sanitizing unsafe style value url

There is an open issue to only print this warning if there was actually something sanitized: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/10272

I didn't read in detail when this warning is printed when nothing was sanitized.

How to get duplicate items from a list using LINQ?

All mentioned solutions until now perform a GroupBy. Even if I only need the first Duplicate all elements of the collections are enumerated at least once.

The following extension function stops enumerating as soon as a duplicate has been found. It continues if a next duplicate is requested.

As always in LINQ there are two versions, one with IEqualityComparer and one without it.

public static IEnumerable<TSource> ExtractDuplicates(this IEnumerable<TSource> source)
{
    return source.ExtractDuplicates(null);
}
public static IEnumerable<TSource> ExtractDuplicates(this IEnumerable<TSource source,
    IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer);
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));
    if (comparer == null)
        comparer = EqualityCompare<TSource>.Default;

    HashSet<TSource> foundElements = new HashSet<TSource>(comparer);
    foreach (TSource sourceItem in source)
    {
        if (!foundElements.Contains(sourceItem))
        {   // we've not seen this sourceItem before. Add to the foundElements
            foundElements.Add(sourceItem);
        }
        else
        {   // we've seen this item before. It is a duplicate!
            yield return sourceItem;
        }
    }
}

Usage:

IEnumerable<MyClass> myObjects = ...

// check if has duplicates:
bool hasDuplicates = myObjects.ExtractDuplicates().Any();

// or find the first three duplicates:
IEnumerable<MyClass> first3Duplicates = myObjects.ExtractDuplicates().Take(3)

// or find the first 5 duplicates that have a Name = "MyName"
IEnumerable<MyClass> myNameDuplicates = myObjects.ExtractDuplicates()
    .Where(duplicate => duplicate.Name == "MyName")
    .Take(5);

For all these linq statements the collection is only parsed until the requested items are found. The rest of the sequence is not interpreted.

IMHO that is an efficiency boost to consider.

How to display an activity indicator with text on iOS 8 with Swift?

While Esq's answer works, I've added my own implementation which is more in line with good component architecture by separating the view into it's own class. It also uses dynamic blurring introduced in iOS 8.

Here is how mine looks with an image background:

enter image description here

The code for this is encapsulated in it's own UIView class which means you can reuse it whenever you desire.

Updated for Swift 3

Usage

func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  // Create and add the view to the screen.
  let progressHUD = ProgressHUD(text: "Saving Photo")
  self.view.addSubview(progressHUD)
  // All done!

  self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
}

UIView Code

import UIKit

class ProgressHUD: UIVisualEffectView {

  var text: String? {
    didSet {
      label.text = text
    }
  }

  let activityIndictor: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.gray)
  let label: UILabel = UILabel()
  let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .light)
  let vibrancyView: UIVisualEffectView

  init(text: String) {
    self.text = text
    self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(blurEffect: blurEffect))
    super.init(effect: blurEffect)
    self.setup()
  }

  required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    self.text = ""
    self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(blurEffect: blurEffect))

    }
  }

  func show() {
    self.isHidden = false
  }

  func hide() {
    self.isHidden = true
  }
}

Swift 2

An example on how to use it is like this:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Create and add the view to the screen.
    let progressHUD = ProgressHUD(text: "Saving Photo")
    self.view.addSubview(progressHUD)
    // All done!

    self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
}

Here is the UIView code:

import UIKit

class ProgressHUD: UIVisualEffectView {

    var text: String? {
        didSet {
            label.text = text
        }
    }
    let activityIndictor: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.White)
    let label: UILabel = UILabel()
    let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .Light)
    let vibrancyView: UIVisualEffectView

    init(text: String) {
        self.text = text
        self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(forBlurEffect: blurEffect))
        super.init(effect: blurEffect)
        self.setup()
    }

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        self.text = ""
        self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(forBlurEffect: blurEffect))
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        self.setup()

    }

    func setup() {
        contentView.addSubview(vibrancyView)
        vibrancyView.contentView.addSubview(activityIndictor)
        vibrancyView.contentView.addSubview(label)
        activityIndictor.startAnimating()
    }

    override func didMoveToSuperview() {
        super.didMoveToSuperview()

        if let superview = self.superview {

            let width = superview.frame.size.width / 2.3
            let height: CGFloat = 50.0
            self.frame = CGRectMake(superview.frame.size.width / 2 - width / 2,
                superview.frame.height / 2 - height / 2,
                width,

jQuery: click function exclude children.

To do this, stop the click on the child using .stopPropagation:

$(".example").click(function(){
  $(this).fadeOut("fast");
}).children().click(function(e) {
  return false;
});

This will stop the child clicks from bubbling up past their level so the parent won't receive the click.

.not() is used a bit differently, it filters elements out of your selector, for example:

<div class="bob" id="myID"></div>
<div class="bob"></div>

$(".bob").not("#myID"); //removes the element with myID

For clicking, your problem is that the click on a child bubbles up to the parent, not that you've inadvertently attached a click handler to the child.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo

It was my own stupidity:

Putting this inside onCreate() method fixed my problem.

How to run a Powershell script from the command line and pass a directory as a parameter

How to pass a file path which is in assets folder to File(String path)?

AFAIK, you can't create a File from an assets file because these are stored in the apk, that means there is no path to an assets folder.

But, you can try to create that File using a buffer and the AssetManager (it provides access to an application's raw asset files).

Try to do something like:

AssetManager am = getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = am.open("myfoldername/myfilename");
File file = createFileFromInputStream(inputStream);

private File createFileFromInputStream(InputStream inputStream) {

   try{
      File f = new File(my_file_name);
      OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(f);
      byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
      int length = 0;

      while((length=inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
        outputStream.write(buffer,0,length);
      }

      outputStream.close();
      inputStream.close();

      return f;
   }catch (IOException e) {
         //Logging exception
   }

   return null;
}

Setting state on componentDidMount()

According to the React Documentation it's perfectly OK to call setState() from within the componentDidMount() function.

It will cause render() to be called twice, which is less efficient than only calling it once, but other than that it's perfectly fine.

You can find the documentation here:

https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html#componentdidmount

Here is the excerpt from the documentation:

You may call setState() immediately in componentDidMount(). It will trigger an extra rendering, but it will happen before the browser updates the screen. This guarantees that even though the render() will be called twice in this case, the user won’t see the intermediate state. Use this pattern with caution because it often causes performance issues...

How can I define an array of objects?

You can also try

    interface IData{
        id: number;
        name:string;
    }

    let userTestStatus:Record<string,IData> = {
        "0": { "id": 0, "name": "Available" },
        "1": { "id": 1, "name": "Ready" },
        "2": { "id": 2, "name": "Started" }
    };

To check how record works: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/utility-types.html#recordkt

Here in our case Record is used to declare an object whose key will be a string and whose value will be of type IData so now it will provide us intellisense when we will try to access its property and will throw type error in case we will try something like userTestStatus[0].nameee

Get a file name from a path

shlwapi.lib/dll uses the HKCU registry hive internally.

It's best not to link to shlwapi.lib if you're creating a library or the product does not have a UI. If you're writing a lib then your code can be used in any project including those that don't have UIs.

If you're writing code that runs when a user is not logged in (e.g. service [or other] set to start at boot or startup) then there's no HKCU. Lastly, shlwapi are settlement functions; and as a result high on the list to deprecate in later versions of Windows.

How to remove an element from the flow?

position: fixed; will also "pop" an element out of the flow, as you say. :)

position: absolute must be accompanied by a position. e.g. top: 1rem; left: 1rem

position: fixed however, will place the element where it would normally appear according to the document flow, but prevent it from moving after that. It also effectively set's the height to 0px (with regards to the dom) so that the next element shifts up over it.

This can be pretty cool, because you can set position: fixed; z-index: 1 (or whatever z-index you need) so that it "pops" over the next element.

This is especially useful for fixed position headers that stay at the top when you scroll, for example.

Setting default values to null fields when mapping with Jackson

Looks like the solution is to set the value of the properties inside the default constructor. So in this case the java class is:

class JavaObject {

    public JavaObject() {

        optionalMember = "Value";
    }

    @NotNull
    public String notNullMember;

    public String optionalMember;
}

After the mapping with Jackson, if the optionalMember is missing from the JSON its value in the Java class is "Value".

However, I am still interested to know if there is a solution with annotations and without the default constructor.

Install a module using pip for specific python version

Alternatively, since pip itself is written in python, you can just call it with the python version you want to install the package for:

Compare dates with javascript

you can done this way also.

if (dateFormat(first, "yyyy-mm-dd") > dateFormat(second, "yyyy-mm-dd")) {

Update style of a component onScroll in React.js

 
constructor() {
    super()
      this.state = {
        change: false
      }
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    window.addEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll);
    console.log('add event');
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    window.removeEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll);
    console.log('remove event');
  }

  handleScroll = e => {
    if (window.scrollY === 0) {
      this.setState({ change: false });
    } else if (window.scrollY > 0 ) {
      this.setState({ change: true });
    }
  }

render() { return ( <div className="main" style={{ boxShadow: this.state.change ? 0px 6px 12px rgba(3,109,136,0.14):none}} ></div>

This is how I did it and works perfect.

How to check if a column exists before adding it to an existing table in PL/SQL?

Normally, I'd suggest trying the ANSI-92 standard meta tables for something like this but I see now that Oracle doesn't support it.

-- this works against most any other database
SELECT
    * 
FROM 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C 
    INNER JOIN 
        INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T 
        ON T.TABLE_NAME = C.TABLE_NAME 
WHERE 
    C.COLUMN_NAME = 'columnname'
    AND T.TABLE_NAME = 'tablename'

Instead, it looks like you need to do something like

-- Oracle specific table/column query
SELECT
    * 
FROM
    ALL_TAB_COLUMNS 
WHERE
    TABLE_NAME = 'tablename'
    AND COLUMN_NAME = 'columnname'

I do apologize in that I don't have an Oracle instance to verify the above. If it does not work, please let me know and I will delete this post.

How to create Java gradle project

Unfortunately you cannot do it in one command. There is an open issue for the very feature.

Currently you'll have to do it by hand. If you need to do it often, you can create a custom gradle plugin, or just prepare your own project skeleton and copy it when needed.

EDIT

The JIRA issue mentioned above has been resolved, as of May 1, 2013, and fixed in 1.7-rc-1. The documentation on the Build Init Plugin is available, although it indicates that this feature is still in the "incubating" lifecycle.

Excel CSV. file with more than 1,048,576 rows of data

Split the CSV into two files in Notepad. It's a pain, but you can just edit each of them individually in Excel after that.

Closing Twitter Bootstrap Modal From Angular Controller

We can achieve the same without using angular-ui. This can be done using angular directives.

First add the directive to the modal.

<div class="modal fade" my-modal ....>...</div>

Create a new angular directive:

app.directive('myModal', function() {
   return {
     restrict: 'A',
     link: function(scope, element, attr) {
       scope.dismiss = function() {
           element.modal('hide');
       };
     }
   } 
});

Now call the dismiss() method from your controller.

app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
    // You can call dismiss() here
    $scope.dismiss();
});

I am still in my early days with angular js. I know that we should not manipulate the DOM inside the controllers. So I have the DOM manipulation in the directive. I am not sure if this is equally bad. If I have a better alternative, I shall post it here.

The important thing to note is that we cannot simply use ng-hide or ng-show in the view to hide or show the modal. That simply hides the modal and not the modal backdrop. We have to call the modal() instance method to completely remove the modal.

C split a char array into different variables

You could simply replace the separator characters by NULL characters, and store the address after the newly created NULL character in a new char* pointer:

char* input = "asdf|qwer"
char* parts[10];
int partcount = 0;

parts[partcount++] = input;

char* ptr = input;
while(*ptr) { //check if the string is over
    if(*ptr == '|') {
        *ptr = 0;
        parts[partcount++] = ptr + 1;
    }
    ptr++;
}

Note that this code will of course not work if the input string contains more than 9 separator characters.

What is the difference between declarations, providers, and import in NgModule?

Adding a quick cheat sheet that may help after the long break with Angular:

DECLARATIONS

Example:

declarations: [AppComponent]

What can we inject here? Components, pipes, directives

IMPORTS

Example:

imports: [BrowserModule, AppRoutingModule]

What can we inject here? other modules

PROVIDERS

Example:

providers: [UserService]

What can we inject here? services

BOOTSTRAP

Example:

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

What can we inject here? the main component that will be generated by this module (top parent node for a component tree)

ENTRY COMPONENTS

Example:

entryComponents: [PopupComponent]

What can we inject here? dynamically generated components (for instance by using ViewContainerRef.createComponent())

EXPORT

Example:

export: [TextDirective, PopupComponent, BrowserModule]

What can we inject here? components, directives, modules or pipes that we would like to have access to them in another module (after importing this module)

How to Compare a long value is equal to Long value

Since Java 7 you can use java.util.Objects.equals(Object a, Object b):

These utilities include null-safe or null-tolerant methods

Long id1 = null;
Long id2 = 0l;
Objects.equals(id1, id2));

Triggering change detection manually in Angular

I used accepted answer reference and would like to put an example, since Angular 2 documentation is very very hard to read, I hope this is easier:

  1. Import NgZone:

    import { Component, NgZone } from '@angular/core';

  2. Add it to your class constructor

    constructor(public zone: NgZone, ...args){}

  3. Run code with zone.run:

    this.zone.run(() => this.donations = donations)

How to disable an input type=text?

If you know this when the page is rendered, which it sounds like you do because the database has a value, it's better to disable it when rendered instead of JavaScript. To do that, just add the readonly attribute (or disabled, if you want to remove it from the form submission as well) to the <input>, like this:

<input type="text" disabled="disabled" />
//or...
<input type="text" readonly="readonly" />

onchange event for input type="number"

 
$("input[type='number']").bind("focus", function() {
    var value = $(this).val();
    $(this).bind("blur", function() {
        if(value != $(this).val()) {
            alert("Value changed");
        }
        $(this).unbind("blur");
    });
});

OR

$("input[type='number']").bind("input", function() {
    alert("Value changed");
});

Difference between datetime and timestamp in sqlserver?

According to the documentation, timestamp is a synonym for rowversion - it's automatically generated and guaranteed1 to be unique. datetime isn't - it's just a data type which handles dates and times, and can be client-specified on insert etc.

1 Assuming you use it properly, of course. See comments.

                    $('#stickytypeheader').css({position: 'static', top: '0px'});
                    $('#sticky').css('display', 'none');
            }
    });
});
</script>

Then use JQuery Lib...

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Now use HTML

<div id="header">
    <p>This text is non sticky</p>
    <p>This text is non sticky</p>
    <p>This text is non sticky</p>
    <p>This text is non sticky</p>
 </div>

<div id="stickytypeheader">
 <table width="100%">

    <td><a href="http://www.bing.com/">Bing</a></td>

    <td><a href="#">Visitor</a></td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</div>

Angular bootstrap datepicker date format does not format ng-model value

The datepicker (and datepicker-popup) directive requires that the ng-model be a Date object. This is documented here.

If you want ng-model to be a string in specific format, you should create a wrapper directive. Here is an example (Plunker):

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
(function () {_x000D_
    'use strict';_x000D_
_x000D_

Dealing with "Xerces hell" in Java/Maven?

My friend that's very simple, here an example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xalan</groupId>
    <artifactId>xalan</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.2</version>
    <scope>${my-scope}</scope>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
        <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
        <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
</dependency>

And if you want to check in the terminal(windows console for this example) that your maven tree has no problems:

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose | grep --color=always '(.* conflict\|^' | less -r

DateTime.TryParseExact() rejecting valid formats

This is the Simple method, Use ParseExact

CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
DateTime result;
String dateString = "Sun 08 Jun 2013 8:30 AM -06:00";
String format = "ddd dd MMM yyyy h:mm tt zzz";
result = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider);

This should work for you.

SQL Server: Database stuck in "Restoring" state

In my case, it was sufficient to drop the database which was hanging in state "Restoring..." with the SQL command 

 drop database <dbname>

in a query window.

Then I right-clicked on Databases and selected Refresh which removed the entry in Management Studio. Afterwards I did a new restore which worked fine (note that bringing it offline did not work, a restart of the SQL service did not work, a server reboot did not work as well).

jquery AJAX and json format

 
$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: hb_base_url + "consumer",
   contentType: "application/json",
   dataType: "json",
   data: {
       data__value = JSON.stringify(
       {
           first_name: $("#namec").val(),
           last_name: $("#surnamec").val(),
           email: $("#emailc").val(),
           mobile: $("#numberc").val(),
           password: $("#passwordc").val()
       })
   },
   success: function(response) {
       console.log(response);
   },
   error: function(response) {
       console.log(response);
   }
});

(RU) ?? ??????? ???? ?????? ????? ???????? ??? - $_POST['data__value']; ???????? ??? ????????? ???????? first_name ?? ???????, ????? ????????:

(EN) On the server, you can get your data as - $_POST ['data__value']; For example, to get the first_name value on the server, write:

$test = json_decode( $_POST['data__value'] );
echo $test->first_name;

Change background color of R plot

 
adjustcolor("blanchedalmond",alpha.f = 0.3)

The above function provides a color code which corresponds to a transparent version of the input color (In this case the input color is "blanchedalmond.").

Input alpha values range on a scale of 0 to 1, 0 being completely transparent and 1 being completely opaque. (In this case, the code for the translucent shad of "blanchedalmond" given an alpha of .3 is "#FFEBCD4D." Be sure to include the hashtag symbol). You can make the new translucent color into the background color by using this function provided by joran earlier in this thread:

rect(par("usr")[1],par("usr")[3],par("usr")[2],par("usr")[4],col = "blanchedalmond")

By using a translucent color, you can be sure that the graph's data can still be seen underneath after the background color is applied. Hope this helps!

Verify object attribute value with mockito

Abstract Class vs Interface in C++

Please don't put members into an interface; though it's correct in phrasing. Please don't "delete" an interface. 

class IInterface() 
{ 
   Public: 
   Virtual ~IInterface(){}; 
   … 
} 

Class ClassImpl : public IInterface 
{ 
    … 
} 

Int main() 
{ 

  IInterface* pInterface = new ClassImpl(); 
  … 
  delete pInterface; // Wrong in OO Programming, correct in C++.
}

How to enable curl in Wamp server

How can I write data attributes using Angular?

About access

<ol class="viewer-nav">
    <li *ngFor="let section of sections" 
        [attr.data-sectionvalue]="section.value"
        (click)="get_data($event)">
        {{ section.text }}
    </li>  
</ol>

And

get_data(event) {
   console.log(event.target.dataset.sectionvalue)
}

hide div tag on mobile view only?

You can be guided by this example. On your css file:

.deskContent {
    background-image: url(../img/big-pic.png);
    width: 100%;
    height: 400px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: contain; 
}

.phoneContent {
    background-image: url(../img/small-pic.png);
    width: 100%;
    height: 100px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: contain;
}

@media all and (max-width: 959px) {
    .deskContent {display:block;}
    .phoneContent {display:none;}
}

@media all and (max-width: 479px) {
    .deskContent {display:none;}
    .phoneContent {display:block;}
}

On your html file:

<div class="deskContent">Content for desktop</div>
<div class="phoneContent">Content for mobile</div>

PHP CSV string to array

You can convert CSV string to Array with this function.

    function csv2array(
        $csv_string,
        $delimiter = ",",
        $skip_empty_lines = true,
        $trim_fields = true,
        $FirstLineTitle = false
    ) {
        $arr = array_map(
            function ( $line ) use ( &$result, &$FirstLine, $delimiter, $trim_fields, $FirstLineTitle ) {
                if ($FirstLineTitle && !$FirstLine) {
                    $FirstLine = explode( $delimiter, $result[0] );
                }
                $lineResult = array_map(
                    function ( $field ) {
                        return str_replace( '!!Q!!', '"', utf8_decode( urldecode( $field ) ) );
                    },
                    $trim_fields ? array_map( 'trim', explode( $delimiter, $line ) ) : explode( $delimiter, $line )
                );
                return $FirstLineTitle ? array_combine( $FirstLine, $lineResult ) : $lineResult;
            },
            ($result = preg_split(
                $skip_empty_lines ? ( $trim_fields ? '/( *\R)+/s' : '/\R+/s' ) : '/\R/s',
                preg_replace_callback(
                    '/"(.*?)"/s',
                    function ( $field ) {
                        return urlencode( utf8_encode( $field[1] ) );
                    },
                    $enc = preg_replace( '/(?<!")""/', '!!Q!!', $csv_string )
                )
            ))
        );
        return $FirstLineTitle ? array_splice($arr, 1) : $arr;
    }

convert '1' to '0001' in JavaScript

Just to demonstrate the flexibility of javascript: you can use a oneliner for this 

function padLeft(nr, n, str){
    return Array(n-String(nr).length+1).join(str||'0')+nr;
}
//or as a Number prototype method:
Number.prototype.padLeft = function (n,str){
    return Array(n-String(this).length+1).join(str||'0')+this;
}
//examples
console.log(padLeft(23,5));       //=> '00023'
console.log((23).padLeft(5));     //=> '00023'
console.log((23).padLeft(5,' ')); //=> '   23'
console.log(padLeft(23,5,'>>'));  //=> '>>>>>>23'

If you want to use this for negative numbers also:

Number.prototype.padLeft = function (n,str) {
    return (this < 0 ? '-' : '') + 
            Array(n-String(Math.abs(this)).length+1)
             .join(str||'0') + 
           (Math.abs(this));
}
console.log((-23).padLeft(5));     //=> '-00023'

Alternative if you don't want to use Array:

number.prototype.padLeft = function (len,chr) {
 var self = Math.abs(this)+'';
 return (this<0 && '-' || '')+
         (String(Math.pow( 10, (len || 2)-self.length))
           .slice(1).replace(/0/g,chr||'0') + self);
}

What is REST? Slightly confused

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

The basic idea is that instead of having an ongoing connection to the server, you make a request, get some data, show that to a user, but maybe not all of it, and then when the user does something which calls for more data, or to pass some up to the server, the client initiates a change to a new state.

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

As noted, you could use a target attribute, but it was technically deprecated in XHTML. That leaves you with using javascript, usually something like parent.window.location.

Configure Log4Net in web application

1: Add the following line into the AssemblyInfo class

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]

2: Make sure you don't use .Net Framework 4 Client Profile as Target Framework (I think this is OK on your side because otherwise it even wouldn't compile)

3: Make sure you log very early in your program. Otherwise, in some scenarios, it will not be initialized properly (read more on log4net FAQ).

So log something during application startup in the Global.asax

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    private static readonly log4net.ILog Log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Global));
    protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Log.Info("Startup application.");
    }
}

4: Make sure you have permission to create files and folders on the given path (if the folder itself also doesn't exist)

5: The rest of your given information looks ok

Send password when using scp to copy files from one server to another

One of the ways to get around login issues with ssh, scp, and sftp (all use the same protocol and sshd server) is to create public/private key pairings.

Some servers may disallow this, but most sites don't. These directions are for Unix/Linux/Mac. As always, Windows is a wee bit different although the cygwin environment on Windows does follow these steps.

  • On your machine, create your public/private key using ssh-keygen. This can vary from system to system, but the program should lead you through this.
  • When ssh-keygen is finished, you will have a $HOME/.ssh directory on your machine. This directory will contain a public key and a private key. There will be two more files that are generated as you go along. One is known_hosts which contains the fingerprints of all known hosts you've logged into. The second will be called either authorized_keys or authorized_keys2 depending upon your implementation.
  • If it's not there already, log into the remote host, and run ssh-keygen there too. This will generate a $HOME/.ssh directory there as well as a private/public key pair. Don't do this if the $HOME/.ssh directory already exists and has a public and private key file. You don't want to regenerate it.
  • On the remote server in the $HOME/.ssh directory, create a file called authorized_keys. In this file, put your public key. This public key is found on your $HOME/.ssh directory on your local machine. It will end with *.pub. Paste the contents of that into authorized_keys. If authorized_keys already exists, paste your public key in the next line.

Now, when you log in using ssh, or you use scp or sftp, you will not be required to enter a password. By the way, the user IDs on the two machines do not have to agree. I've logged into many remote servers as a different user and setup my public key in authorized_keys and have no problems logging directly into that user.

Doing Private Public Key Authentication on Windows

If you use Windows, you will need something that can do ssh. Most people I know use PuTTY which can generate public/private keys, and do the key pairing when you login remotely. I can't remember all of the steps, but you generate two files (one contains the public key, one contains the private key), and configure PuTTY to use both of those when logging into a remote site. If that remote site is Linux/Unix/Mac, you can copy your public key and put it into the authorized_keys file.

If you can use SSH Public/Private keys, you can eliminate the need for passwords in your scripts. Otherwise, you will have to use something like Expect or Perl with Net::SSH which can watch the remote host and enter the password when prompted.

How to create a shared library with cmake?

Always specify the minimum required version of cmake

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)

You should declare a project. cmake says it is mandatory and it will define convenient variables PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_VERSION and PROJECT_DESCRIPTION (this latter variable necessitate cmake 3.9):

project(mylib VERSION 1.0.1 DESCRIPTION "mylib description")

Declare a new library target. Please avoid the use of file(GLOB ...). This feature does not provide attended mastery of the compilation process. If you are lazy, copy-paste output of ls -1 sources/*.cpp :

add_library(mylib SHARED
    sources/animation.cpp
    sources/buffers.cpp
    [...]
)

Set VERSION property (optional but it is a good practice):

set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION})

You can also set SOVERSION to a major number of VERSION. So libmylib.so.1 will be a symlink to libmylib.so.1.0.0.

set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES SOVERSION 1)

Declare public API of your library. This API will be installed for the third-party application. It is a good practice to isolate it in your project tree (like placing it include/ directory). Notice that, private headers should not be installed and I strongly suggest to place them with the source files.

set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES PUBLIC_HEADER include/mylib.h)

If you work with subdirectories, it is not very convenient to include relative paths like "../include/mylib.h". So, pass a top directory in included directories:

target_include_directories(mylib PRIVATE .)

or

target_include_directories(mylib PRIVATE include)
target_include_directories(mylib PRIVATE src)

Create an install rule for your library. I suggest to use variables CMAKE_INSTALL_*DIR defined in GNUInstallDirs:

include(GNUInstallDirs)

And declare files to install:

install(TARGETS mylib
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
    PUBLIC_HEADER DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR})

You may also export a pkg-config file. This file allows a third-party application to easily import your library:

Create a template file named mylib.pc.in (see pc(5) manpage for more information):

prefix=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@
exec_prefix=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@
libdir=${exec_prefix}/@CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR@
includedir=${prefix}/@CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR@

Name: @PROJECT_NAME@
Description: @PROJECT_DESCRIPTION@
Version: @PROJECT_VERSION@

Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lmylib
Cflags: -I${includedir}

In your CMakeLists.txt, add a rule to expand @ macros (@ONLY ask to cmake to not expand variables of the form ${VAR}):

configure_file(mylib.pc.in mylib.pc @ONLY)

And finally, install generated file:

install(FILES ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/mylib.pc DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR}/pkgconfig)

You may also use cmake EXPORT feature. However, this feature is only compatible with cmake and I find it difficult to use.

Finally the entire CMakeLists.txt should looks like:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
project(mylib VERSION 1.0.1 DESCRIPTION "mylib description")
include(GNUInstallDirs)
add_library(mylib SHARED src/mylib.c)
set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES
    VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}
    SOVERSION 1
    PUBLIC_HEADER api/mylib.h)
configure_file(mylib.pc.in mylib.pc @ONLY)
target_include_directories(mylib PRIVATE .)
install(TARGETS mylib
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
    PUBLIC_HEADER DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR})
install(FILES ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/mylib.pc
    DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR}/pkgconfig)

CSS override rules and specificity

The important needs to be inside the ;

td.rule2 div {     background-color: #ffff00 !important; }

in fact i believe this should override it

If you have an association on a property pointing to the user (let's say Credit\Entity\UserCreditHistory#user, picked from your example), then the syntax is quite simple:

public function getHistory($users) {
    $qb = $this->entityManager->createQueryBuilder();
    $qb
        ->select('a', 'u')
        ->from('Credit\Entity\UserCreditHistory', 'a')
        ->leftJoin('a.user', 'u')
        ->where('u = :user')
        ->setParameter('user', $users)
        ->orderBy('a.created_at', 'DESC');

    return $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
}

Since you are applying a condition on the joined result here, using a LEFT JOIN or simply JOIN is the same.

If no association is available, then the query looks like following

public function getHistory($users) {
    $qb = $this->entityManager->createQueryBuilder();
    $qb
        ->select('a', 'u')
        ->from('Credit\Entity\UserCreditHistory', 'a')
        ->leftJoin(
            'User\Entity\User',
            'u',
            \Doctrine\ORM\Query\Expr\Join::WITH,
            'a.user = u.id'
        )
        ->where('u = :user')
        ->setParameter('user', $users)
        ->orderBy('a.created_at', 'DESC');

    return $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
}

This will produce a resultset that looks like following:

array(
    array(
        0 => UserCreditHistory instance,
        1 => Userinstance,
    ),
    array(
        0 => UserCreditHistory instance,
        1 => Userinstance,
    ),
    // ...
)

"%%" and "%/%" for the remainder and the quotient

I think it is because % has often be associated with the modulus operator in many programming languages.

It is the case, e.g., in C, C++, C# and Java, and many other languages which derive their syntax from C (C itself took it from B).

Android, getting resource ID from string?

You can use Resources.getIdentifier(), although you need to use the format for your string as you use it in your XML files, i.e. package:drawable/icon.

Django Model() vs Model.objects.create()

The differences between Model() and Model.objects.create() are the following:

  1. INSERT vs UPDATE

    Model.save() does either INSERT or UPDATE of an object in a DB, while Model.objects.create() does only INSERT.

    Model.save() does

    • UPDATE If the object’s primary key attribute is set to a value that evaluates to True

    • INSERT If the object’s primary key attribute is not set or if the UPDATE didn’t update anything (e.g. if primary key is set to a value that doesn’t exist in the database).

  1. Existing primary key

    If primary key attribute is set to a value and such primary key already exists, then Model.save() performs UPDATE, but Model.objects.create() raises IntegrityError.

    Consider the following models.py:

    class Subject(models.Model):
   subject_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(primary_key=True, db_column='subject_id')
   name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
   max_marks = models.PositiveIntegerField()

    1. Insert/Update to db with Model.save()

      physics = Subject(subject_id=1, name='Physics', max_marks=100)
physics.save()
math = Subject(subject_id=1, name='Math', max_marks=50)  # Case of update
math.save()

      Result:

      Subject.objects.all().values()
<QuerySet [{'subject_id': 1, 'name': 'Math', 'max_marks': 50}]>

    2. Insert to db with Model.objects.create()

      Subject.objects.create(subject_id=1, name='Chemistry', max_marks=100)
IntegrityError: UNIQUE constraint failed: m****t.subject_id

    Explanation: In the example, math.save() does an UPDATE (changes name from Physics to Math, and max_marks from 100 to 50), because subject_id is a primary key and subject_id=1 already exists in the DB. But Subject.objects.create() raises IntegrityError, because, again the primary key subject_id with the value 1 already exists.

  1. Forced insert

    Model.save() can be made to behave as Model.objects.create() by using force_insert=True parameter: Model.save(force_insert=True).

  1. Return value

    Model.save() return None where Model.objects.create() return model instance i.e. package_name.models.Model

Conclusion: Model.objects.create() does model initialization and performs save() with force_insert=True.

Excerpt from the source code of Model.objects.create()

def create(self, **kwargs):
    """
    Create a new object with the given kwargs, saving it to the database
    and returning the created object.
    """
    obj = self.model(**kwargs)
    self._for_write = True
    obj.save(force_insert=True, using=self.db)
    return obj

Save PHP array to MySQL?

Serialize/Unserialize array for storage in a DB

Visit http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php

From the PHP Manual:

Look under "Return" on the page

Returns a string containing a byte-stream representation of value that can be stored anywhere.

Note that this is a binary string which may include null bytes, and needs to be stored and handled as such. For example, serialize() output should generally be stored in a BLOB field in a database, rather than a CHAR or TEXT field.

Note: If you want to store html into a blob, be sure to base64 encode it or it could break the serialize function.

Example encoding: 

$YourSerializedData = base64_encode(serialize($theHTML));

$YourSerializedData is now ready to be stored in blob.

After getting data from blob you need to base64_decode then unserialize Example decoding:

$theHTML = unserialize(base64_decode($YourSerializedData));

Difference between `npm start` & `node app.js`, when starting app?

From the man page, npm start:

runs a package's "start" script, if one was provided. If no version is specified, then it starts the "active" version.

Admittedly, that description is completely unhelpful, and that's all it says. At least it's more documented than socket.io.

Anyhow, what really happens is that npm looks in your package.json file, and if you have something like

"scripts": { "start": "coffee server.coffee" }

then it will do that. If npm can't find your start script, it defaults to:

node server.js

 

replace NULL with Blank value or Zero in sql server

Different ways to replace NULL in sql server

Replacing NULL value using:

1. ISNULL() function

2. COALESCE() function

3. CASE Statement

SELECT Name as EmployeeName, ISNULL(Bonus,0) as EmployeeBonus from tblEmployee

SELECT Name as EmployeeName, COALESCE(Bonus, 0) as EmployeeBonus 
FROM tblEmployee

SELECT Name as EmployeeName, CASE WHEN Bonus IS NULL THEN 0 
ELSE Bonus  END as EmployeeBonus 
FROM  tblEmployee

Angularjs action on click of button

The calculation occurs immediately since the calculation call is bound in the template, which displays its result when quantity changes.

Instead you could try the following approach. Change your markup to the following:

<div ng-controller="myAppController" style="text-align:center">
  <p style="font-size:28px;">Enter Quantity:
      <input type="text" ng-model="quantity"/>
  </p>
  <button ng-click="calculateQuantity()">Calculate</button>
  <h2>Total Cost: Rs.{{quantityResult}}</h2>
</div>

Next, update your controller:

myAppModule.controller('myAppController', function($scope,calculateService) {
  $scope.quantity=1;
  $scope.quantityResult = 0;

  $scope.calculateQuantity = function() {
    $scope.quantityResult = calculateService.calculate($scope.quantity, 10);
  };
});

Here's a JSBin example that demonstrates the above approach.

The problem with this approach is the calculated result remains visible with the old value till the button is clicked. To address this, you could hide the result whenever the quantity changes.

This would involve updating the template to add an ng-change on the input, and an ng-if on the result:

<input type="text" ng-change="hideQuantityResult()" ng-model="quantity"/>

and

<h2 ng-if="showQuantityResult">Total Cost: Rs.{{quantityResult}}</h2>

In the controller add:

$scope.showQuantityResult = false;

$scope.calculateQuantity = function() {
  $scope.quantityResult = calculateService.calculate($scope.quantity, 10);
  $scope.showQuantityResult = true;
};

$scope.hideQuantityResult = function() {
  $scope.showQuantityResult = false;
};

These updates can be seen in this JSBin demo.

Reference alias (calculated in SELECT) in WHERE clause

As a workaround to force the evaluation of the SELECT clause before the WHERE clause, you could put the former in a sub-query while the latter remains in the main query:

SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT (InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal) AS BalanceDue
  FROM Invoices) AS temp
WHERE BalanceDue > 0

DECODE( ) function in SQL Server

Create a function in SQL Server as below and replace the DECODE with dbo.DECODE

CREATE FUNCTION DECODE(@CondField as nvarchar(100),@Criteria as nvarchar(100), 
                       @True Value as nvarchar(100), @FalseValue as nvarchar(100))
returns nvarchar(100)
begin
       return case when @CondField = @Criteria then @TrueValue 
                   else @FalseValue end
end

How do I get the XML root node with C#?

Try this

XElement root = XDocument.Load(fStream).Root;

Return JSON for ResponseEntity<String>

An alternative solution is to use a wrapper for the String, for instances this:

public class StringResponse {
    private String response;
    public StringResponse(String response) {
        this.response = response;
    }
    public String getResponse() {
        return response;
    }
}

Then return this in your controller's methods:

ResponseEntity<StringResponse>

How can I see the entire HTTP request that's being sent by my Python application?

If you're using Python 2.x, try installing a urllib2 opener. That should print out your headers, although you may have to combine that with other openers you're using to hit the HTTPS.

import urllib2
urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler(debuglevel=1)))
urllib2.urlopen(url)

Choosing the best concurrency list in Java

You might want to look at ConcurrentDoublyLinkedList written by Doug Lea based on Paul Martin's "A Practical Lock-Free Doubly-Linked List". It does not implement the java.util.List interface, but offers most methods you would use in a List.

According to the javadoc:

A concurrent linked-list implementation of a Deque (double-ended queue). Concurrent insertion, removal, and access operations execute safely across multiple threads. Iterators are weakly consistent, returning elements reflecting the state of the deque at some point at or since the creation of the iterator. They do not throw ConcurrentModificationException, and may proceed concurrently with other operations.

Error: Failed to lookup view in Express

It is solved by adding the following code in app.js file

app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);
app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.set('views', __dirname);

app.get('/', function(req, res){
    res.render("index");
});

How to find out if an installed Eclipse is 32 or 64 bit version?

Open eclipse.ini in the installation directory, and observe the line with text:

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.0.200.v20090519 then it is 64 bit.

If it would be plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_32_1.0.200.v20090519 then it is 32 bit.

When should iteritems() be used instead of items()?

The six library helps with writing code that is compatible with both python 2.5+ and python 3. It has an iteritems method that will work in both python 2 and 3. Example:

import six

d = dict( foo=1, bar=2 )

for k, v in six.iteritems(d):
    print(k, v)

Can someone explain mappedBy in JPA and Hibernate?

By specifying the @JoinColumn on both models you don't have a two way relationship. You have two one way relationships, and a very confusing mapping of it at that. You're telling both models that they "own" the IDAIRLINE column. Really only one of them actually should! The 'normal' thing is to take the @JoinColumn off of the @OneToMany side entirely, and instead add mappedBy to the @OneToMany.

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="airline")
public Set<AirlineFlight> getAirlineFlights() {
    return airlineFlights;
}

That tells Hibernate "Go look over on the bean property named 'airline' on the thing I have a collection of to find the configuration."

How to use the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

Your web.config file should have this structure:

<configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="..." />
    </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

Then, to create a SQL connection using the connection string named MyConnectionString:

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString);

If you'd prefer to keep your connection strings in the AppSettings section of your configuration file, it would look like this:

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="MyConnectionString" value="..." />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

And then your SqlConnection constructor would look like this:

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MyConnectionString"]);

Finding local IP addresses using Python's stdlib

A Python 3.4 version utilizing the newly introduced asyncio package.

async get_local_ip():
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    transport, protocol = await loop.create_datagram_endpoint(
        asyncio.DatagramProtocol,
        remote_addr=('8.8.8.8', 80))
    result = transport.get_extra_info('sockname')[0])
    transport.close()
    return result

This is based on UnkwnTech's excellent answer.

What is the best way to get the minimum or maximum value from an Array of numbers?

After reading everyone's comments (thank you for your interest), I found that the "best" way (least amount of code, best performing) to do this was to simply sort the Array, and then grab the first value in the Array:

var myArray:Array /* of Number */ = [2,3,3,4,2,2,5,6,7,2];

myArray.sort(Array.NUMERIC);

var minValue:int = myArray[0];

This also works for an Array of Objects - you simply use the Array.sortOn() function and specify a property:

// Sample data
var myArray:Array /* of XML */ = 
    [
    <item level="2" name="a" />
    <item level="3" name="b" />
    <item level="3" name="c" />
    <item level="2" name="d" />
    <item level="5" name="e" />
    ]

// Perform a descending sort on the specified attribute in Array to get the maximum value
myArray.sortOn("@level", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);

var lowestLevel:int = myArray[0].@level;

I hope this helps someone else someday!

Adding open/closed icon to Twitter Bootstrap collapsibles (accordions)

Here is my solution which is further refined from one posted by @john-magnolia and solves some of its issues

/**
 * Toggle on/off arrow for Twitter Bootstrap collapsibles.
 *
 * Multi-collapsible-friendly; supports several collapsibles in the same group, on the same page.
 */
function animateCollapsibles() {

    $('.collapse').on('show', function() {
        var $t = $(this);
        var header = $("a[href='#" + $t.attr("id") + "']");
        header.find(".icon-chevron-right").removeClass("icon-chevron-right").addClass("icon-chevron-down");
    }).on('hide', function(){
        var $t = $(this);
        var header = $("a[href='#" + $t.attr("id") + "']");
        header.find(".icon-chevron-down").removeClass("icon-chevron-down").addClass("icon-chevron-right");
    });
}

And here is the example markup:

<div class="accordion" id="accordion-send">
    <div class="accordion-group">
        <div class="accordion-heading">
            <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-send" href="#collapse-refund">
                <i class="icon icon-chevron-right"></i> Send notice
            </a>
        </div>
        <div id="collapse-refund" class="accordion-body collapse">
            <div class="accordion-inner">
                <p>Lorem ipsum Toholampi city</p>
            </div>

Parse string to DateTime in C#

DateTime.Parse() will try figure out the format of the given date, and it usually does a good job. If you can guarantee dates will always be in a given format then you can use ParseExact():

string s = "2011-03-21 13:26";

DateTime dt = 
    DateTime.ParseExact(s, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

(But note that it is usually safer to use one of the TryParse methods in case a date is not in the expected format)

Make sure to check Custom Date and Time Format Strings when constructing format string, especially pay attention to number of letters and case (i.e. "MM" and "mm" mean very different things).

Another useful resource for C# format strings is String Formatting in C#
