How to draw a path on a map using kml file?

Mathias Lin code working beautifully. However, you might want to consider changing this part inside drawPath method:

 if (lngLat.length >= 2 && gp1.getLatitudeE6() > 0 && gp1.getLongitudeE6() > 0
                    && gp2.getLatitudeE6() > 0 && gp2.getLongitudeE6() > 0) {

GeoPoint can be less than zero as well, I switch mine to:

     if (lngLat.length >= 2 && gp1.getLatitudeE6() != 0 && gp1.getLongitudeE6() != 0
                    && gp2.getLatitudeE6() != 0 && gp2.getLongitudeE6() != 0) {

Thank you :D

Making button go full-width?

<div class="col-md-9">
    <button class="btn btn-block btn-primary" type="button">Block level button</button>
</div>

In Bootstrap 3, this should be all you need. I believe btn-large was overriding the width of btn-block.

How do you determine the size of a file in C?

You can open the file, go to 0 offset relative from the bottom of the file with

#define SEEKBOTTOM   2

fseek(handle, 0, SEEKBOTTOM)

the value returned from fseek is the size of the file.

I didn't code in C for a long time, but I think it should work.

Setting the height of a SELECT in IE

Not sure but I think this was a question not about the height of a 'multiple' type of select element but a drop-down type of select element. I have come across times when the drop-down looks squashed and does not show clearly the selected value. Undoubtedly it has to do with CSS style info in use on the page. The only way to stop it is either change the CSS (which would likely affect the whole page or parts of it in ways you don't want affected) or use style info in the select element itself to override the CSS that's clobbering it. Example:

<select name="myselect" id="myselect" style="font-size:15px; height:30px">
<option value="someval">somedescr</option>
...
</select>

Hope this helps.

installation app blocked by play protect

Not the solution, but you can use debug key for signing release builds to avoid blocking the installation from Google Play Protect. It looks like Play Protect doesn't warn for builds signed with automatically generated debug.keystore.

Note that your debug builds are not unsigned, they are just signed with a debug key.

Of course, you cannot use the build for production distribution (Google Play, Amazon, etc.), but it's still worth for pre-production internal testing which requires a high-frequency feedback loop.

You can add a task to build release with debug.keystore by adding the configuration in build.gradle, something like:

android {
  buildTypes {
    // add after the `release` definition
    releaseDebugKey { initWith release }
  }

  signingConfigs {
    // use debug.keystore for releaseDebugKey builds
    releaseDebugKey { initWith debug }
  }
}

then execute ./gradlew assembleReleaseDebugKey to build a release build with debug key.

JavaScript isset() equivalent

This is a pretty bulletproof solution for testing if a variable exists :

var setOrNot = typeof variable !== typeof undefined ? true : false;

Unfortunately, you cannot simply encapsulate it in a function.

You might think of doing something like this :

function isset(variable) {
    return typeof variable !== typeof undefined ? true : false;
}

However, this will produce a reference error if variable variable has not been defined, because you cannot pass along a non-existing variable to a function :

Uncaught ReferenceError: foo is not defined

On the other hand, it does allow you to test whether function parameters are undefined :

var a = '5';

var test = function(x, y) {
    console.log(isset(x));
    console.log(isset(y));
};

test(a);

// OUTPUT :
// ------------
// TRUE
// FALSE

Even though no value for y is passed along to function test, our isset function works perfectly in this context, because y is known in function test as an undefined value.

Getting path of captured image in Android using camera intent

Here I updated the sample code in Kotlin. Please note on Nougat and above version Uri.fromFile(file) is not working and it crashes the app for that need to implement FileProvider which is safest way to send files from intent. For implementing this refer this answer or this article

private fun takePhotoFromCamera() {
        val isDeviceSupportCamera: Boolean = this.packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)
        if (isDeviceSupportCamera) {
            val takePictureIntent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)

            if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
                file = File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS + "/attachments")!!.path,
                        System.currentTimeMillis().toString() + ".jpg")
//            fileUri = Uri.fromFile(file)
                fileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, this.applicationContext.packageName + ".provider", file!!)
                takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri)
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                    takePictureIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
                }
                startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, Constants.REQUEST_CODE_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
            }

        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, this.getString(R.string.camera_not_supported), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)

                 //do what ever you want to do

How to split() a delimited string to a List<String>

Either use:

List<string> list = new List<string>(array);

or from LINQ:

List<string> list = array.ToList();

Or change your code to not rely on the specific implementation:

IList<string> list = array; // string[] implements IList<string>

How do you receive a url parameter with a spring controller mapping

You have a lot of variants for using @RequestParam with additional optional elements, e.g.

@RequestParam(required = false, defaultValue = "someValue", value="someAttr") String someAttr

If you don't put required = false - param will be required by default.

defaultValue = "someValue" - the default value to use as a fallback when the request parameter is not provided or has an empty value.

If request and method param are the same - you don't need value = "someAttr"

hadoop No FileSystem for scheme: file

This is a typical case of the maven-assembly plugin breaking things.

Why this happened to us

Different JARs (hadoop-commons for LocalFileSystem, hadoop-hdfs for DistributedFileSystem) each contain a different file called org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem in their META-INFO/services directory. This file lists the canonical classnames of the filesystem implementations they want to declare (This is called a Service Provider Interface implemented via java.util.ServiceLoader, see org.apache.hadoop.FileSystem#loadFileSystems).

When we use maven-assembly-plugin, it merges all our JARs into one, and all META-INFO/services/org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem overwrite each-other. Only one of these files remains (the last one that was added). In this case, the FileSystem list from hadoop-commons overwrites the list from hadoop-hdfs, so DistributedFileSystem was no longer declared.

How we fixed it

After loading the Hadoop configuration, but just before doing anything FileSystem-related, we call this:

    hadoopConfig.set("fs.hdfs.impl", 
        org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.class.getName()
    );
    hadoopConfig.set("fs.file.impl",
        org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalFileSystem.class.getName()
    );

Update: the correct fix

It has been brought to my attention by krookedking that there is a configuration-based way to make the maven-assembly use a merged version of all the FileSystem services declarations, check out his answer below.

Multiprocessing vs Threading Python

The key advantage is isolation. A crashing process won't bring down other processes, whereas a crashing thread will probably wreak havoc with other threads.

JSON Naming Convention (snake_case, camelCase or PascalCase)

There is no SINGLE standard, but I have seen 3 styles you mention ("Pascal/Microsoft", "Java" (camelCase) and "C" (underscores, snake_case)) -- as well as at least one more, kebab-case like longer-name).

It mostly seems to depend on what background developers of the service in question had; those with c/c++ background (or languages that adopt similar naming, which includes many scripting languages, ruby etc) often choose underscore variant; and rest similarly (Java vs .NET). Jackson library that was mentioned, for example, assumes Java bean naming convention (camelCase)

UPDATE: my definition of "standard" is a SINGLE convention. So while one could claim "yes, there are many standards", to me there are multiple Naming Conventions, none of which is "The" standard overall. One of them could be considered the standard for specific platform, but given that JSON is used for interoperability between platforms that may or may not make much sense.

How can I add a box-shadow on one side of an element?

}

How to print out all the elements of a List in Java?

It depends on what type of objects stored in the List, and whether it has implementation for toString() method. System.out.println(list) should print all the standard java object types (String, Long, Integer etc). In case, if we are using custom object types, then we need to override toString() method of our custom object.

Example:

class Employee {
 private String name;
 private long id;

 @Override
 public String toString() {
   return "name: " + this.name() + 
           ", id: " + this.id();
 }  
}

Test:

class TestPrintList {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     Employee employee1 =new Employee("test1", 123);
     Employee employee2 =new Employee("test2", 453);
     List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList(2);
     employee.add(employee1);
     employee.add(employee2);
     System.out.println(employees);
   }
}

How do I create a round cornered UILabel on the iPhone?

iOS 3.0 and later

iPhone OS 3.0 and later supports the cornerRadius property on the CALayer class. Every view has a CALayer instance that you can manipulate. This means you can get rounded corners in one line:

view.layer.cornerRadius = 8;

You will need to #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> and link to the QuartzCore framework to get access to CALayer's headers and properties.

Before iOS 3.0

One way to do it, which I used recently, is to create a UIView subclass which simply draws a rounded rectangle, and then make the UILabel or, in my case, UITextView, a subview inside of it. Specifically:

Create a UIView subclass and name it something like RoundRectView.
In RoundRectView's drawRect: method, draw a path around the bounds of the view using Core Graphics calls like CGContextAddLineToPoint() for the edges and and CGContextAddArcToPoint() for the rounded corners.
Create a UILabel instance and make it a subview of the RoundRectView.
Set the frame of the label to be a few pixels inset of the RoundRectView's bounds. (For example, label.frame = CGRectInset(roundRectView.bounds, 8, 8);)

You can place the RoundRectView on a view using Interface Builder if you create a generic UIView and then change its class using the inspector. You won't see the rectangle until you compile and run your app, but at least you'll be able to place the subview and connect it to outlets or actions if needed.

How to have Java method return generic list of any type?

You can simply cast to List and then check if every element can be casted to T.

public <T> List<T> asList(final Class<T> clazz) {
    List<T> values = (List<T>) this.value;
    values.forEach(clazz::cast);
    return values;
}

How to throw a C++ exception

Though this question is rather old and has already been answered, I just want to add a note on how to do proper exception handling in C++11:

Use `std::nested_exception` and `std::throw_with_nested`

It is described on StackOverflow here and here, how you can get a backtrace on your exceptions inside your code without need for a debugger or cumbersome logging, by simply writing a proper exception handler which will rethrow nested exceptions.

Since you can do this with any derived exception class, you can add a lot of information to such a backtrace! You may also take a look at my MWE on GitHub, where a backtrace would look something like this:

Library API: Exception caught in function 'api_function'
Backtrace:
~/Git/mwe-cpp-exception/src/detail/Library.cpp:17 : library_function failed
~/Git/mwe-cpp-exception/src/detail/Library.cpp:13 : could not open file "nonexistent.txt"

PHP Regex to check date is in YYYY-MM-DD format

{
    return checkdate($split[2], $split[3], $split[1]);
}

return false;

Good luck with your implementation.

Returning JSON response from Servlet to Javascript/JSP page

I think that what you want to do is turn the JSON string back into an object when it arrives back in your XMLHttpRequest - correct?

If so, you need to eval the string to turn it into a JavaScript object - note that this can be unsafe as you're trusting that the JSON string isn't malicious and therefore executing it. Preferably you could use jQuery's parseJSON

Count of "Defined" Array Elements

No, the only way to know how many elements are not undefined is to loop through and count them. That doesn't mean you have to write the loop, though, just that something, somewhere has to do it. (See #3 below for why I added that caveat.)

How you loop through and count them is up to you. There are lots of ways:

A standard for loop from 0 to arr.length - 1 (inclusive).
A for..in loop provided you take correct safeguards.
Any of several of the new array features from ECMAScript5 (provided you're using a JavaScript engine that supports them, or you've included an ES5 shim, as they're all shim-able), like some, filter, or reduce, passing in an appropriate function. This is handy not only because you don't have to explicitly write the loop, but because using these features gives the JavaScript engine the opportunity to optimize the loop it does internally in various ways. (Whether it actually does will vary on the engine.)

...but it all amounts to looping, either explicitly or (in the case of the new array features) implicitly.

MySQL pivot table query with dynamic columns

The only way in MySQL to do this dynamically is with Prepared statements. Here is a good article about them:

Dynamic pivot tables (transform rows to columns)

Your code would look like this:

SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
  GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
    CONCAT(
      'MAX(IF(pa.fieldname = ''',
      fieldname,
      ''', pa.fieldvalue, NULL)) AS ',
      fieldname
    )
  ) INTO @sql
FROM product_additional;

SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT p.id
                    , p.name
                    , p.description, ', @sql, ' 
                   FROM product p
                   LEFT JOIN product_additional AS pa 
                    ON p.id = pa.id
                   GROUP BY p.id');

PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

See Demo

NOTE: GROUP_CONCAT function has a limit of 1024 characters. See parameter group_concat_max_len

Use cases for the 'setdefault' dict method

Another use case that I don't think was mentioned above. Sometimes you keep a cache dict of objects by their id where primary instance is in the cache and you want to set cache when missing.

return self.objects_by_id.setdefault(obj.id, obj)

That's useful when you always want to keep a single instance per distinct id no matter how you obtain an obj each time. For example when object attributes get updated in memory and saving to storage is deferred.

Using Linq to group a list of objects into a new grouped list of list of objects

Your group statement will group by group ID. For example, if you then write:

foreach (var group in groupedCustomerList)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Group {0}", group.Key);
    foreach (var user in group)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("  {0}", user.UserName);
    }
}

that should work fine. Each group has a key, but also contains an IGrouping<TKey, TElement> which is a collection that allows you to iterate over the members of the group. As Lee mentions, you can convert each group to a list if you really want to, but if you're just going to iterate over them as per the code above, there's no real benefit in doing so.

R Apply() function on specific dataframe columns

I think what you want is mapply. You could apply the function to all columns, and then just drop the columns you don't want. However, if you are applying different functions to different columns, it seems likely what you want is mutate, from the dplyr package.

C++ equivalent of java's instanceof

Try using:

if(NewType* v = dynamic_cast<NewType*>(old)) {
   // old was safely casted to NewType
   v->doSomething();
}

This requires your compiler to have rtti support enabled.

EDIT: I've had some good comments on this answer!

Every time you need to use a dynamic_cast (or instanceof) you'd better ask yourself whether it's a necessary thing. It's generally a sign of poor design.

Typical workarounds is putting the special behaviour for the class you are checking for into a virtual function on the base class or perhaps introducing something like a visitor where you can introduce specific behaviour for subclasses without changing the interface (except for adding the visitor acceptance interface of course).

As pointed out dynamic_cast doesn't come for free. A simple and consistently performing hack that handles most (but not all cases) is basically adding an enum representing all the possible types your class can have and check whether you got the right one.

if(old->getType() == BOX) {
   Box* box = static_cast<Box*>(old);
   // Do something box specific
}

This is not good oo design, but it can be a workaround and its cost is more or less only a virtual function call. It also works regardless of RTTI is enabled or not.

Note that this approach doesn't support multiple levels of inheritance so if you're not careful you might end with code looking like this:

// Here we have a SpecialBox class that inherits Box, since it has its own type
// we must check for both BOX or SPECIAL_BOX
if(old->getType() == BOX || old->getType() == SPECIAL_BOX) {
   Box* box = static_cast<Box*>(old);
   // Do something box specific
}

Simple CSS Animation Loop – Fading In & Out "Loading" Text

well looking for a simpler variation I found this:

it's truly smart, and I guess you might want to add other browsers variations too although it worked for me both on Chrome and Firefox.

How to get date in BAT file

set datestr=%date%
set result=%datestr:/=-%
@echo %result%

JQuery show and hide div on mouse click (animate)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jQuery count child elements

var length = $('#selected ul').children('li').length
// or the same:
var length = $('#selected ul > li').length

You probably could also omit li in the children's selector.

See .length.

Force "portrait" orientation mode

Don't apply the orientation to the application element, instead you should apply the attribute to the activity element, and you must also set configChanges as noted below.

Example:

<activity
   android:screenOrientation="portrait"
   android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
</activity>

This is applied in the manifest file AndroidManifest.xml.

Does "\d" in regex mean a digit?

This is just a guess, but I think your editor actually matches every single digit — 1 2 3 — but only odd matches are highlighted, to distinguish it from the case when the whole 123 string is matched.

Most regex consoles highlight contiguous matches with different colors, but due to the plugin settings, terminal limitations or for some other reason, only every other group might be highlighted in your case.

Simplest way to merge ES6 Maps/Sets?

Edit:

I benchmarked my original solution against other solutions suggests here and found that it is very inefficient.

The benchmark itself is very interesting (link) It compares 3 solutions (higher is better):

@fregante (formerly called @bfred.it) solution, which adds values one by one (14,955 op/sec)

@jameslk's solution, which uses a self invoking generator (5,089 op/sec)

my own, which uses reduce & spread (3,434 op/sec)

As you can see, @fregante's solution is definitely the winner.

Performance + Immutability

With that in mind, here's a slightly modified version which doesn't mutates the original set and excepts a variable number of iterables to combine as arguments:
function union(...iterables) {
  const set = new Set();

  for (const iterable of iterables) {
    for (const item of iterable) {
      set.add(item);
    }
  }

  return set;
}
Usage:
const a = new Set([1, 2, 3]);
const b = new Set([1, 3, 5]);
const c = new Set([4, 5, 6]);

union(a,b,c) // {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Original Answer

I would like to suggest another approach, using reduce and the spread operator:

Implementation

function union (sets) {
  return sets.reduce((combined, list) => {
    return new Set([...combined, ...list]);
  }, new Set());
}

Usage:

const a = new Set([1, 2, 3]);
const b = new Set([1, 3, 5]);
const c = new Set([4, 5, 6]);

union([a, b, c]) // {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Tip:

We can also make use of the rest operator to make the interface a bit nicer:

function union (...sets) {
  return sets.reduce((combined, list) => {
    return new Set([...combined, ...list]);
  }, new Set());
}

Now, instead of passing an array of sets, we can pass an arbitrary number of arguments of sets:

union(a, b, c) // {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

ListBox with ItemTemplate (and ScrollBar!)

ListBox will try to expand in height that is available.. When you set the Height property of ListBox you get a scrollviewer that actually works...

If you wish your ListBox to accodate the height available, you might want to try to regulate the Height from your parent controls.. In a Grid for example, setting the Height to Auto in your RowDefinition might do the trick...

HTH

Width equal to content

You can use flex to achieve this:

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: flex-start;
}

flex-start will automatically adjust the width of children to their contents.

Java IOException "Too many open files"

Recently, I had a program batch processing files, I have certainly closed each file in the loop, but the error still there.

And later, I resolved this problem by garbage collect eagerly every hundreds of files:

int index;
while () {
    try {
        // do with outputStream...
    } finally {
        out.close();
    }
    if (index++ % 100 = 0)
        System.gc();
}

Is it possible to simulate key press events programmatically?

I know the question asks for a javascript way of simulating a keypress. But for those who are looking for a jQuery way of doing things:

var e = jQuery.Event("keypress");
e.which = 13 //or e.keyCode = 13 that simulates an <ENTER>
$("#element_id").trigger(e);

How to copy data from another workbook (excel)?

Two years later (Found this on Google, so for anyone else)... As has been mentioned above, you don't need to select anything. These three lines:

Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range("A1").Select Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Selection.Copy ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Cells(1, 1)

Can be replaced with

Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range(Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData). _ Range("A1"), Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range("A1").End(xlToRight)).Copy _ Destination:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Cells(1, 1)

This should get around the select error.

How to convert ‘false’ to 0 and ‘true’ to 1 in Python

bool to int: x = (x == 'true') + 0

Now the x contains 1 if x == 'true' else 0.

Note: x == 'true' will return bool which then will be typecasted to int having value (1 if bool value is True else 0) when added with 0.

Undefined behavior and sequence points

C++98 and C++03

This answer is for the older versions of the C++ standard. The C++11 and C++14 versions of the standard do not formally contain 'sequence points'; operations are 'sequenced before' or 'unsequenced' or 'indeterminately sequenced' instead. The net effect is essentially the same, but the terminology is different.

Disclaimer : Okay. This answer is a bit long. So have patience while reading it. If you already know these things, reading them again won't make you crazy.

Pre-requisites : An elementary knowledge of C++ Standard

What are Sequence Points?

The Standard says

At certain specified points in the execution sequence called sequence points, all side effects of previous evaluations shall be complete and no side effects of subsequent evaluations shall have taken place. (§1.9/7)

Side effects? What are side effects?

Evaluation of an expression produces something and if in addition there is a change in the state of the execution environment it is said that the expression (its evaluation) has some side effect(s).

For example:

int x = y++; //where y is also an int

In addition to the initialization operation the value of y gets changed due to the side effect of ++ operator.

So far so good. Moving on to sequence points. An alternation definition of seq-points given by the comp.lang.c author Steve Summit:

Sequence point is a point in time at which the dust has settled and all side effects which have been seen so far are guaranteed to be complete.

What are the common sequence points listed in the C++ Standard ?

Those are:

at the end of the evaluation of full expression (§1.9/16) (A full-expression is an expression that is not a subexpression of another expression.)¹

Example :
```
int a = 5; // ; is a sequence point here
```
in the evaluation of each of the following expressions after the evaluation of the first expression (§1.9/18) ²
- a && b (§5.14)
- a || b (§5.15)
- a ? b : c (§5.16)
- a , b (§5.18) (here a , b is a comma operator; in func(a,a++) , is not a comma operator, it's merely a separator between the arguments a and a++. Thus the behaviour is undefined in that case (if a is considered to be a primitive type))
at a function call (whether or not the function is inline), after the evaluation of all function arguments (if any) which takes place before execution of any expressions or statements in the function body (§1.9/17).

_{1 : Note : the evaluation of a full-expression can include the evaluation of subexpressions that are not lexically
part of the full-expression. For example, subexpressions involved in evaluating default argument expressions (8.3.6) are considered to be created in the expression that calls the function, not the expression that defines the default argument}

_{2 : The operators indicated are the built-in operators, as described in clause 5. When one of these operators is overloaded (clause 13) in a valid context, thus designating a user-defined operator function, the expression designates a function invocation and the operands form an argument list, without an implied sequence point between them.}

What is Undefined Behaviour?

The Standard defines Undefined Behaviour in Section §1.3.12 as

behavior, such as might arise upon use of an erroneous program construct or erroneous data, for which this International Standard imposes no requirements ³.

Undefined behavior may also be expected when this International Standard omits the description of any explicit definition of behavior.

_{3 : permissible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment (with or with-
out the issuance of a diagnostic message), to terminating a translation or execution (with the issuance of a diagnostic message).}

In short, undefined behaviour means anything can happen from daemons flying out of your nose to your girlfriend getting pregnant.

What is the relation between Undefined Behaviour and Sequence Points?

Before I get into that you must know the difference(s) between Undefined Behaviour, Unspecified Behaviour and Implementation Defined Behaviour.

You must also know that the order of evaluation of operands of individual operators and subexpressions of individual expressions, and the order in which side effects take place, is unspecified.

For example:

int x = 5, y = 6;

int z = x++ + y++; //it is unspecified whether x++ or y++ will be evaluated first.

Another example here.

Now the Standard in §5/4 says

1) Between the previous and next sequence point a scalar object shall have its stored value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression.

What does it mean?

Informally it means that between two sequence points a variable must not be modified more than once. In an expression statement, the next sequence point is usually at the terminating semicolon, and the previous sequence point is at the end of the previous statement. An expression may also contain intermediate sequence points.

From the above sentence the following expressions invoke Undefined Behaviour:

i++ * ++i;   // UB, i is modified more than once btw two SPs
i = ++i;     // UB, same as above
++i = 2;     // UB, same as above
i = ++i + 1; // UB, same as above
++++++i;     // UB, parsed as (++(++(++i)))

i = (i, ++i, ++i); // UB, there's no SP between `++i` (right most) and assignment to `i` (`i` is modified more than once btw two SPs)

But the following expressions are fine:

i = (i, ++i, 1) + 1; // well defined (AFAIK)
i = (++i, i++, i);   // well defined 
int j = i;
j = (++i, i++, j*i); // well defined

2) Furthermore, the prior value shall be accessed only to determine the value to be stored.

What does it mean? It means if an object is written to within a full expression, any and all accesses to it within the same expression must be directly involved in the computation of the value to be written.

For example in i = i + 1 all the access of i (in L.H.S and in R.H.S) are directly involved in computation of the value to be written. So it is fine.

This rule effectively constrains legal expressions to those in which the accesses demonstrably precede the modification.

Example 1:

std::printf("%d %d", i,++i); // invokes Undefined Behaviour because of Rule no 2

Example 2:

a[i] = i++ // or a[++i] = i or a[i++] = ++i etc

is disallowed because one of the accesses of i (the one in a[i]) has nothing to do with the value which ends up being stored in i (which happens over in i++), and so there's no good way to define--either for our understanding or the compiler's--whether the access should take place before or after the incremented value is stored. So the behaviour is undefined.

Example 3 :

int x = i + i++ ;// Similar to above

VB.Net .Clear() or txtbox.Text = "" textbox clear methods

The Clear method is defined as

    public void Clear() { 
        Text = null;
    }

The Text property's setter starts with

        set { 
            if (value == null) { 
                value = "";
            }

I assume this answers your question.

Move_uploaded_file() function is not working

it should like this

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $move);

And you cannot move it anywhere in your system .youcan move it in only in your project directory which must be in htdocs or www depends on what you are using wampp ,lampp or vertrgo.

SQLException: No suitable Driver Found for jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/orcl

"No suitable driver" usually means that the JDBC URL you've supplied to connect has incorrect syntax or when the driver isn't loaded at all.

When the method getConnection is called, the DriverManager will attempt to locate a suitable driver from amongst those loaded at initialization and those loaded explicitly using the same classloader as the current applet or application.(using Class.forName())

For Example

import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver;

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

Also check that you have ojdbc6.jar in your classpath. I would suggest to place .jar at physical location to JBoss "$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib/" directory of your project.

EDIT:

You have mentioned hibernate lately.

Check that your hibernate.cfg.xml file has connection properties something like this:

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl</property> 
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">scott</property>

.NET HashTable Vs Dictionary - Can the Dictionary be as fast?

Another important difference is that Hashtable is thread safe. Hashtable has built in multiple reader/single writer (MR/SW) thread safety which means Hashtable allows ONE writer together with multiple readers without locking. In the case of Dictionary there is no thread safety, if you need thread safety you must implement your own synchronization.

To elaborate further:

Hashtable, provide some thread-safety through the Synchronized property, which returns a thread-safe wrapper around the collection. The wrapper works by locking the entire collection on every add or remove operation. Therefore, each thread that is attempting to access the collection must wait for its turn to take the one lock. This is not scalable and can cause significant performance degradation for large collections. Also, the design is not completely protected from race conditions.

The .NET Framework 2.0 collection classes like List<T>, Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, etc do not provide any thread synchronization; user code must provide all synchronization when items are added or removed on multiple threads concurrently If you need type safety as well thread safety, use concurrent collections classes in the .NET Framework.

How to detect installed version of MS-Office?

If you've installed 32-bit Office on a 64-bit machine, you may need to check for the presence of "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\", substituting the 12.0 with the appropriate version. This is certainly the case for Office 2007 installed on 64-bit Windows 7.

Note that Office 2010 (== 14.0) is the first Office for which a 64-bit version exists.

How to get a value from a cell of a dataframe?

It looks like changes after pandas 10.1/13.1

I upgraded from 10.1 to 13.1, before iloc is not available.

Now with 13.1, iloc[0]['label'] gets a single value array rather than a scalar.

Like this:

lastprice=stock.iloc[-1]['Close']

Output:

name:Close, dtype: float64

Can I add background color only for padding?

Another option with pure CSS would be something like this:

    height: 50px;
    background-color: white;
    float: left;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 2px solid red;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 10;
}

nav:after {
    background-color: grey;
    content: '';
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    left: 10px;
    right: 10px;
    bottom: 10px;
    z-index: -1;
}

How to hide console window in python?

In linux, just run it, no problem. In Windows, you want to use the pythonw executable.

UNIX (Linux)

$ nohup mypythonprog &

Windows

C:/> start pythonw mypythonprog

I think that's right. In any case, now you can close the terminal.

Oracle 11g Express Edition for Windows 64bit?

This is a very useful question. It has 5 different helpful answers that say quite different but complementary things (surprising, eh?). This answer combines those answers into a more useful form as well as adding two more solutions.

There is no Oracle Express Edition for 64 bit Windows. See this official [but unanswered] forum thread. Therefore, these are the classes of solutions:

Pay. The paid versions of Oracle (Standard/Enterprise) support 64-bit Windows.
Hack. Many people have successfully installed the 32 bit Oracle XE software on 64 bit Windows. This blog post seems to be the one most often cited as helpful. This is unsupported, of course, and session trace is known to fail. But for many folks this is a good solution.
VM. If your goal is simply to run Oracle on a 64 bit Windows machine, then running Oracle in a Virtual Machine may be a good solution. VirtualBox is a natural choice because it's free and Oracle provides pre-configured VMs with Oracle DB installed. VMWare or other virtualization systems work equally well.
Develop only. Many users want Oracle XE just to learn Oracle or to test an application with Oracle. If that's your requirement, then Oracle Enterprise Edition (including support for 64-bit Windows) is free "only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your application".

SIGTERM is polite and lets the process clean up before it goes, whereas, SIGKILL is for when it won't listen >:)

Example from the shell (man page: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?kill )

kill -9 pid

In C, you can do the same thing using the kill syscall:

How to write and read java serialized objects into a file

Why not serialize the whole list at once?

FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("G:\\address.ser");
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fout);
oos.writeObject(MyClassList);

Assuming, of course, that MyClassList is an ArrayList or LinkedList, or another Serializable collection.

In the case of reading it back, in your code you ready only one item, there is no loop to gather all the item written.

Select From all tables - MySQL

You get all tables containing the column product using this statment:

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME 
    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
    WHERE COLUMN_NAME IN ('Product')
        AND TABLE_SCHEMA='YourDatabase';

Then you have to run a cursor on these tables so you select eachtime:

Select * from OneTable where product like '%XYZ%'

The results should be entered into a 3rd table or view, take a look here.

Notice: This can work only if the structure of all table is similar, otherwise aou will have to see which columns are united for all these tables and create your result table / View to contain only these columns.

Specified cast is not valid.. how to resolve this

If you are expecting double, decimal, float, integer why not use the one which accomodates all namely decimal (128 bits are enough for most numbers you are looking at).

instead of (double)value use decimal.Parse(value.ToString()) or Convert.ToDecimal(value)

In SQL, how can you "group by" in ranges?

Neither of the highest voted answers are correct on SQL Server 2000. Perhaps they were using a different version.

Here are the correct versions of both of them on SQL Server 2000.

select t.range as [score range], count(*) as [number of occurences]
from (
  select case  
    when score between 0 and 9 then ' 0- 9'
    when score between 10 and 19 then '10-19'
    else '20-99' end as range
  from scores) t
group by t.range

select t.range as [score range], count(*) as [number of occurrences]
from (
      select user_id,
         case when score >= 0 and score< 10 then '0-9'
         when score >= 10 and score< 20 then '10-19'
         else '20-99' end as range
     from scores) t
group by t.range

Escaping special characters in Java Regular Expressions

Agree with Gray, as you may need your pattern to have both litrals (\[, \]) and meta-characters ([, ]). so with some utility you should be able to escape all character first and then you can add meta-characters you want to add on same pattern.

-this will open the command line editor (called vim editor i guess)

Then the screen will look something like this:

pick 0c2236d Added new line.

Rebase 2a1cd65..0c2236d onto 2a1cd65 (1 command)

#

Commands:

p, pick = use commit

r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message

e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending

s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit

f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message

x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell

d, drop = remove commit

#

These lines can be re-ordered; they are executed from top to bottom.

#

If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.

#

However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.

#

Note that empty commits are commented out ~ ~

~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~

Here change the first line as per your need (using the commands listed above i.e. 'drop' to remove commit etc.) Once done the editing press ':x' to save and exit editor(this is for vim editor only)

And then

git push

If its showing problem then you need to forcefully push the changes to remote(ITS VERY CRITICAL : dont force push if you are working in team)

git push -f origin

How to set combobox default value?

Suppose you bound your combobox to a List<Person>

List<Person> pp = new List<Person>();
pp.Add(new Person() {id = 1, name="Steve"});
pp.Add(new Person() {id = 2, name="Mark"});
pp.Add(new Person() {id = 3, name="Charles"});

cbo1.DisplayMember = "name";
cbo1.ValueMember = "id";
cbo1.DataSource = pp;

At this point you cannot set the Text property as you like, but instead you need to add an item to your list before setting the datasource

pp.Insert(0, new Person() {id=-1, name="--SELECT--"});
cbo1.DisplayMember = "name";
cbo1.ValueMember = "id";
cbo1.DataSource = pp;
cbo1.SelectedIndex = 0;

Of course this means that you need to add a checking code when you try to use the info from the combobox

if(cbo1.SelectedValue != null && Convert.ToInt32(cbo1.SelectedValue) == -1)
    MessageBox.Show("Please select a person name");
else
    ......

The code is the same if you use a DataTable instead of a list. You need to add a fake row at the first position of the Rows collection of the datatable and set the initial index of the combobox to make things clear. The only thing you need to look at are the name of the datatable columns and which columns should contain a non null value before adding the row to the collection

In a table with three columns like ID, FirstName, LastName with ID,FirstName and LastName required you need to

DataRow row = datatable.NewRow();
row["ID"] = -1;
row["FirstName"] = "--Select--";    
row["LastName"] = "FakeAddress";
dataTable.Rows.InsertAt(row, 0);

Changing default encoding of Python?

A) To control sys.getdefaultencoding() output:

python -c 'import sys; print(sys.getdefaultencoding())'

ascii

Then

echo "import sys; sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-16-be')" > sitecustomize.py

and

PYTHONPATH=".:$PYTHONPATH" python -c 'import sys; print(sys.getdefaultencoding())'

utf-16-be

You could put your sitecustomize.py higher in your PYTHONPATH.

Also you might like to try reload(sys).setdefaultencoding by @EOL

B) To control stdin.encoding and stdout.encoding you want to set PYTHONIOENCODING:

python -c 'import sys; print(sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding)'

ascii ascii

Then

PYTHONIOENCODING="utf-16-be" python -c 'import sys; 
print(sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding)'

utf-16-be utf-16-be

Finally: you can use A) or B) or both!

How do I POST JSON data with cURL?

If you're testing a lot of JSON send/responses against a RESTful interface, you may want to check out the Postman plug-in for Chrome (which allows you to manually define web service tests) and its Node.js-based Newman command-line companion (which allows you to automate tests against "collections" of Postman tests.) Both free and open!

throwing an exception in objective-c/cocoa

I think to be consistant it's nicer to use @throw with your own class that extends NSException. Then you use the same notations for try catch finally:

@try {
.....
}
@catch{
...
}
@finally{
...
}

Apple explains here how to throw and handle exceptions: Catching Exceptions Throwing Exceptions

INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY error in Android

When I try these solutions.
I solved with:
create a new virtual device( select Google APIs(Google Inc)-API Level 15 replace android 4.0.3-APILevel 15 ) then run again. It solved.

I think it's just because the device have no google apis~

How to uninstall a Windows Service when there is no executable for it left on the system?

You should be able to uninstall it using sc.exe (I think it is included in the Windows Resource Kit) by running the following in an "administrator" command prompt:

sc.exe delete <service name>

where <service name> is the name of the service itself as you see it in the service management console, not of the exe.

You can find sc.exe in the System folder and it needs Administrative privileges to run. More information in this Microsoft KB article.

Alternatively, you can directly call the DeleteService() api. That way is a little more complex, since you need to get a handle to the service control manager via OpenSCManager() and so on, but on the other hand it gives you more control over what is happening.

Get name of object or class

I was facing a similar difficulty and none of the solutions presented here were optimal for what I was working on. What I had was a series of functions to display content in a modal and I was trying to refactor it under a single object definition making the functions, methods of the class. The problem came in when I found one of the methods created some nav-buttons inside the modal themselves which used an onClick to one of the functions -- now an object of the class. I have considered (and am still considering) other methods to handle these nav buttons, but I was able to find the variable name for the class itself by sweeping the variables defined in the parent window. What I did was search for anything matching the 'instanceof' my class, and in case there might be more than one, I compared a specific property that was likely to be unique to each instance:

var myClass = function(varName)
{
    this.instanceName = ((varName != null) && (typeof(varName) == 'string') && (varName != '')) ? varName : null;

    /**
     * caching autosweep of window to try to find this instance's variable name
     **/
    this.getInstanceName = function() {
        if(this.instanceName == null)
        {
            for(z in window) {
                if((window[z] instanceof myClass) && (window[z].uniqueProperty === this.uniqueProperty)) {
                    this.instanceName = z;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return this.instanceName;
    }
}

How to get the hours difference between two date objects?

How to convert int to QString?

I always use QString::setNum().

int i = 10;
double d = 10.75;

Creating a very simple linked list

I am giving an extract from the book "C# 6.0 in a Nutshell by Joseph Albahari and Ben Albahari"

Here’s a demonstration on the use of LinkedList:

var tune = new LinkedList<string>();
tune.AddFirst ("do"); // do
tune.AddLast ("so"); // do - so
tune.AddAfter (tune.First, "re"); // do - re- so
tune.AddAfter (tune.First.Next, "mi"); // do - re - mi- so
tune.AddBefore (tune.Last, "fa"); // do - re - mi - fa- so
tune.RemoveFirst(); // re - mi - fa - so
tune.RemoveLast(); // re - mi - fa
LinkedListNode<string> miNode = tune.Find ("mi");
tune.Remove (miNode); // re - fa
tune.AddFirst (miNode); // mi- re - fa
foreach (string s in tune) Console.WriteLine (s);

How can I use optional parameters in a T-SQL stored procedure?

Extend your WHERE condition:

WHERE
    (FirstName = ISNULL(@FirstName, FirstName)
    OR COALESCE(@FirstName, FirstName, '') = '')
AND (LastName = ISNULL(@LastName, LastName)
    OR COALESCE(@LastName, LastName, '') = '')
AND (Title = ISNULL(@Title, Title)
    OR COALESCE(@Title, Title, '') = '')

i. e. combine different cases with boolean conditions.

How to directly move camera to current location in Google Maps Android API v2?

The above answer is not according to what Google Doc Referred for Location Tracking in Google api v2.

I just followed the official tutorial and ended up with this class that is fetching the current location and centring the map on it as soon as i get that.

you can extend this class to have LocationReciever to have periodic Location Update. I just executed this code on api level 7

Eclipse IDE: How to zoom in on text?

The Eclipse-Fonts extension will add toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts for changing font size. You can then use AutoHotkey to make Ctrl+Mousewheel zoom.

Under Help | Install New Software... in the menu, paste the update URL (http://eclipse-fonts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/FontsUpdate/) into the Works with: text box and press Enter. Expand the tree and select FontsFeature as in the following image:

Eclipse extension installation screen capture

Complete the installation and restart Eclipse, then you should see the A toolbar buttons (circled in red in the following image) and be able to use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+- and Ctrl+= to zoom (although you may have to unbind those keys from Eclipse first).

Eclipse screen capture with the font size toolbar buttons circled

To get Ctrl+MouseWheel zooming, you can use AutoHotkey with the following script:

Use SELECT inside an UPDATE query

Does this work? Untested but should get the point across.

UPDATE FUNCTIONS
SET Func_TaxRef = 
(
  SELECT Min(TAX.Tax_Code) AS MinOfTax_Code
  FROM TAX, FUNCTIONS F1
  WHERE F1.Func_Pure <= [Tax_ToPrice]
    AND F1.Func_Year=[Tax_Year]
    AND F1.Func_ID = FUNCTIONS.Func_ID
  GROUP BY F1.Func_ID;
)

Basically for each row in FUNCTIONS, the subquery determines the minimum current tax code and sets FUNCTIONS.Func_TaxRef to that value. This is assuming that FUNCTIONS.Func_ID is a Primary or Unique key.

Java client certificates over HTTPS/SSL

While not recommended, you can also disable SSL cert validation alltogether:

import javax.net.ssl.*;
import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;

public class SSLTool {

  public static void disableCertificateValidation() {
    // Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
    TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { 
      new X509TrustManager() {
        public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() { 
          return new X509Certificate[0]; 
        }
        public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {}
        public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {}
    }};

    // Ignore differences between given hostname and certificate hostname
    HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier() {
      public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) { return true; }
    };

    // Install the all-trusting trust manager
    try {
      SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
      sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new SecureRandom());
      HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
      HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);
    } catch (Exception e) {}
  }
}

Get final URL after curl is redirected

Thank you. I ended up implementing your suggestions: curl -i + grep

curl -i http://google.com -L | egrep -A 10 '301 Moved Permanently|302 Found' | grep 'Location' | awk -F': ' '{print $2}' | tail -1

Returns blank if the website doesn't redirect, but that's good enough for me as it works on consecutive redirections.

Could be buggy, but at a glance it works ok.

Adding options to select with javascript

The most concise and intuitive way would be:

_x000D_

var selectElement = document.getElementById('ageselect');_x000D_
_x000D_
for (var age = 12; age <= 100; age++) {_x000D_
  selectElement.add(new Option(age));_x000D_
}

_x000D_

Your age: <select id="ageselect"><option value="">Please select</option></select>

_x000D_

You can also differentiate the name and the value or add items at the start of the list with additional parameters to the used functions:
HTMLSelect?Element?.add(item[, before]);
new Option(text, value, defaultSelected, selected);

function setDefaultImage(source){
        var badImg = new Image();
        badImg.src = "video.png";
        var cpyImg = new Image();
        cpyImg.src = source.src;

        if(!cpyImg.width)
        {
            source.src = badImg.src;
        }

    }


    function onImgError(source){
        source.src = "video.png";
        source.onerror = ""; 
        return true; 
    }

This way it's working in all browsers.

Location for session files in Apache/PHP

The default session.save_path is set to "" which will evaluate to your system's temp directory. See this comment at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26757 stating:

The new default for save_path in upcoming releaess (sic) will be the empty string, which causes the temporary directory to be probed.

You can use sys_get_temp_dir to return the directory path used for temporary files

To find the current session save path, you can use

session_save_path() — Get and/or set the current session save path

Refer to this answer to find out what the temp path is when this function returns an empty string.

How do I get this javascript to run every second?

Use setInterval(func, delay) to run the func every delay milliseconds.

setTimeout() runs your function once after delay milliseconds -- it does not run it repeatedly. A common strategy is to run your code with setTimeout and call setTimeout again at the end of your code.

Converting DateTime format using razor

The [DisplayFormat] attribute is only used in EditorFor/DisplayFor, and not by the raw HTML APIs like TextBoxFor. I got it working by doing the following,

Model:

[Display(Name = "When was that document issued ?")]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:d}")]
public DateTime? LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate { get; set; }

View:

        <div id="IsLiquorLicenceDocumentOnPremisesYes" class="groupLongLabel">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate)
            <span class="indicator"></span>
            @Html.EditorFor(m => m.LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate)
            <span id="validEmail"></span>
            <br />
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate)
        </div>

How do I catch a PHP fatal (`E_ERROR`) error?

I need to handle fatal errors for production to instead show a static styled 503 Service Unavailable HTML output. This is surely a reasonable approach to "catching fatal errors". This is what I've done:

I have a custom error handling function "error_handler" which will display my "503 service unavailable" HTML page on any E_ERROR, E_USER_ERROR, etc. This will now be called on the shutdown function, catching my fatal error,

function fatal_error_handler() {

    if (@is_array($e = @error_get_last())) {
        $code = isset($e['type']) ? $e['type'] : 0;
        $msg = isset($e['message']) ? $e['message'] : '';
        $file = isset($e['file']) ? $e['file'] : '';
        $line = isset($e['line']) ? $e['line'] : '';
        if ($code>0)
            error_handler($code, $msg, $file, $line);
    }
}
set_error_handler("error_handler");
register_shutdown_function('fatal_error_handler');

in my custom error_handler function, if the error is E_ERROR, E_USER_ERROR, etc. I also call @ob_end_clean(); to empty the buffer, thus removing PHP's "fatal error" message.

Take important note of the strict isset() checking and @ silencing functions since we don’t want our error_handler scripts to generate any errors.

In still agreeing with keparo, catching fatal errors does defeat the purpose of "FATAL error" so it's not really intended for you to do further processing. Do not run any mail() functions in this shutdown process as you will certainly back up the mail server or your inbox. Rather log these occurrences to file and schedule a cron job to find these error.log files and mail them to administrators.

Trying to read cell 1,1 in spreadsheet using Google Script API

You have to first obtain the Range object. Also, getCell() will not return the value of the cell but instead will return a Range object of the cell. So, use something on the lines of

function email() {

// Opens SS by its ID

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("0AgJjDgtUl5KddE5rR01NSFcxYTRnUHBCQ0stTXNMenc");

// Get the name of this SS

var name = ss.getName();  // Not necessary 

// Read cell 1,1 * Line below does't work *

// var data = Range.getCell(0, 0);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); // or whatever is the name of the sheet 
var range = sheet.getRange(1,1); 
var data = range.getValue();

}

The hierarchy is Spreadsheet --> Sheet --> Range --> Cell.

What is the difference between str and repr?

One important thing to keep in mind is that container's __str__ uses contained objects' __repr__.

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> print (Decimal('52'), datetime.now())
(Decimal('52'), datetime.datetime(2015, 11, 16, 10, 51, 26, 185000))
>>> str((Decimal('52'), datetime.now()))
"(Decimal('52'), datetime.datetime(2015, 11, 16, 10, 52, 22, 176000))"

Python favors unambiguity over readability, the __str__ call of a tuple calls the contained objects' __repr__, the "formal" representation of an object. Although the formal representation is harder to read than an informal one, it is unambiguous and more robust against bugs.

Visual Studio: How to break on handled exceptions?

A technique I use is something like the following. Define a global variable that you can use for one or multiple try catch blocks depending on what you're trying to debug and use the following structure:

if(!GlobalTestingBool)
{
   try
   {
      SomeErrorProneMethod();
   }
   catch (...)
   {
      // ... Error handling ...
   }
}
else
{
   SomeErrorProneMethod();
}

I find this gives me a bit more flexibility in terms of testing because there are still some exceptions I don't want the IDE to break on.

Optimal number of threads per core

Benchmark.

I'd start ramping up the number of threads for an application, starting at 1, and then go to something like 100, run three-five trials for each number of threads, and build yourself a graph of operation speed vs. number of threads.

You should that the four thread case is optimal, with slight rises in runtime after that, but maybe not. It may be that your application is bandwidth limited, ie, the dataset you're loading into memory is huge, you're getting lots of cache misses, etc, such that 2 threads are optimal.

You can't know until you test.

Bootstrap: How to center align content inside column?

Want to center an image? Very easy, Bootstrap comes with two classes, .center-block and text-center.

Use the former in the case of your image being a BLOCK element, for example, adding img-responsive class to your img makes the img a block element. You should know this if you know how to navigate in the web console and see applied styles to an element.

Don't want to use a class? No problem, here is the CSS bootstrap uses. You can make a custom class or write a CSS rule for the element to match the Bootstrap class.

 // In case you're dealing with a block element apply this to the element itself 
.center-block {
   margin-left:auto;
   margin-right:auto;
   display:block;
}

// In case you're dealing with a inline element apply this to the parent 
.text-center {
   text-align:center
}

Python: Pandas pd.read_excel giving ImportError: Install xlrd >= 0.9.0 for Excel support

I don't know if this will be helpful for someone, but I had the same problem. I wrote pip install xlrd in the anaconda prompt while in the specific environment and it said it was installed, but when I looked at the installed packages it wasn't there. What solved the problem was "moving" (I don't know the terminology for it) into the Scripts folder of the specific environment and do the pip install xlrd there. Hope this is useful for someone :D

Tomcat 8 throwing - org.apache.catalina.webresources.Cache.getResource Unable to add the resource

I had the same issue when upgrading from Tomcat 7 to 8: a continuous large flood of log warnings about cache.

1. Short Answer

Add this within the Context xml element of your $CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml:

<!-- The default value is 10240 kbytes, even when not added to context.xml.
So increase it high enough, until the problem disappears, for example set it to 
a value 5 times as high: 51200. -->
<Resources cacheMaxSize="51200" />

So the default is 10240 (10 mbyte), so set a size higher than this. Than tune for optimum settings where the warnings disappear. Note that the warnings may come back under higher traffic situations.

1.1 The cause (short explanation)

The problem is caused by Tomcat being unable to reach its target cache size due to cache entries that are less than the TTL of those entries. So Tomcat didn't have enough cache entries that it could expire, because they were too fresh, so it couldn't free enough cache and thus outputs warnings.

The problem didn't appear in Tomcat 7 because Tomcat 7 simply didn't output warnings in this situation. (Causing you and me to use poor cache settings without being notified.)

The problem appears when receiving a relative large amount of HTTP requests for resources (usually static) in a relative short time period compared to the size and TTL of the cache. If the cache is reaching its maximum (10mb by default) with more than 95% of its size with fresh cache entries (fresh means less than less than 5 seconds in cache), than you will get a warning message for each webResource that Tomcat tries to load in the cache.

1.2 Optional info

Use JMX if you need to tune cacheMaxSize on a running server without rebooting it.

The quickest fix would be to completely disable cache: <Resources cachingAllowed="false" />, but that's suboptimal, so increase cacheMaxSize as I just described.

2. Long Answer

2.1 Background information

A WebSource is a file or directory in a web application. For performance reasons, Tomcat can cache WebSources. The maximum of the static resource cache (all resources in total) is by default 10240 kbyte (10 mbyte). A webResource is loaded into the cache when the webResource is requested (for example when loading a static image), it's then called a cache entry. Every cache entry has a TTL (time to live), which is the time that the cache entry is allowed to stay in the cache. When the TTL expires, the cache entry is eligible to be removed from the cache. The default value of the cacheTTL is 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

There is more to tell about caching, but that is irrelevant for the problem.

2.2 The cause

The following code from the Cache class shows the caching policy in detail:

152  // Content will not be cached but we still need metadata size
153  long delta = cacheEntry.getSize();
154  size.addAndGet(delta);
156  if (size.get() > maxSize) {
157      // Process resources unordered for speed. Trades cache
158      // efficiency (younger entries may be evicted before older
159      // ones) for speed since this is on the critical path for
160      // request processing
161      long targetSize =
162              maxSize * (100 - TARGET_FREE_PERCENT_GET) / 100;
163      long newSize = evict(
164              targetSize, resourceCache.values().iterator());
165      if (newSize > maxSize) {
166          // Unable to create sufficient space for this resource
167          // Remove it from the cache
168          removeCacheEntry(path);
169          log.warn(sm.getString("cache.addFail", path));
170      }
171  }

When loading a webResource, the code calculates the new size of the cache. If the calculated size is larger than the default maximum size, than one or more cached entries have to be removed, otherwise the new size will exceed the maximum. So the code will calculate a "targetSize", which is the size the cache wants to stay under (as an optimum), which is by default 95% of the maximum. In order to reach this targetSize, entries have to be removed/evicted from the cache. This is done using the following code:

215  private long evict(long targetSize, Iterator<CachedResource> iter) {
217      long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
219      long newSize = size.get();
221      while (newSize > targetSize && iter.hasNext()) {
222          CachedResource resource = iter.next();
224          // Don't expire anything that has been checked within the TTL
225          if (resource.getNextCheck() > now) {
226              continue;
227          }
229          // Remove the entry from the cache
230          removeCacheEntry(resource.getWebappPath());
232          newSize = size.get();
233      }
235      return newSize;
236  }

So a cache entry is removed when its TTL is expired and the targetSize hasn't been reached yet.

After the attempt to free cache by evicting cache entries, the code will do:

165  if (newSize > maxSize) {
166      // Unable to create sufficient space for this resource
167      // Remove it from the cache
168      removeCacheEntry(path);
169      log.warn(sm.getString("cache.addFail", path));
170  }

So if after the attempt to free cache, the size still exceeds the maximum, it will show the warning message about being unable to free:

cache.addFail=Unable to add the resource at [{0}] to the cache for web application [{1}] because there was insufficient free space available after evicting expired cache entries - consider increasing the maximum size of the cache

2.3 The problem

So as the warning message says, the problem is

insufficient free space available after evicting expired cache entries - consider increasing the maximum size of the cache

If your web application loads a lot of uncached webResources (about maximum of cache, by default 10mb) within a short time (5 seconds), then you'll get the warning.

The confusing part is that Tomcat 7 didn't show the warning. This is simply caused by this Tomcat 7 code:

1606  // Add new entry to cache
1607  synchronized (cache) {
1608      // Check cache size, and remove elements if too big
1609      if ((cache.lookup(name) == null) && cache.allocate(entry.size)) {
1610          cache.load(entry);
1611      }
1612  }

combined with:

231  while (toFree > 0) {
232      if (attempts == maxAllocateIterations) {
233          // Give up, no changes are made to the current cache
234          return false;
235      }

So Tomcat 7 simply doesn't output any warning at all when it's unable to free cache, whereas Tomcat 8 will output a warning.

So if you are using Tomcat 8 with the same default caching configuration as Tomcat 7, and you got warnings in Tomcat 8, than your (and mine) caching settings of Tomcat 7 were performing poorly without warning.

2.4 Solutions

There are multiple solutions:

Increase cache (recommended)
Lower the TTL (not recommended)
Suppress cache log warnings (not recommended)
Disable cache

2.4.1. Increase cache (recommended)

As described here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/resources.html

By adding <Resources cacheMaxSize="XXXXX" /> within the Context element in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml, where "XXXXX" stands for an increased cache size, specified in kbytes. The default is 10240 (10 mbyte), so set a size higher than this.

You'll have to tune for optimum settings. Note that the problem may come back when you suddenly have an increase in traffic/resource requests.

To avoid having to restart the server every time you want to try a new cache size, you can change it without restarting by using JMX.

To enable JMX, add this to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml within the Server element: <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.JmxRemoteLifecycleListener" rmiRegistryPortPlatform="6767" rmiServerPortPlatform="6768" /> and download catalina-jmx-remote.jar from https://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi and put it in $CATALINA_HOME/lib. Then use jConsole (shipped by default with the Java JDK) to connect over JMX to the server and look through the settings for settings to increase the cache size while the server is running. Changes in these settings should take affect immediately.

2.4.2. Lower the TTL (not recommended)

Lower the cacheTtl value by something lower than 5000 milliseconds and tune for optimal settings.

For example: <Resources cacheTtl="2000" />

This comes effectively down to having and filling a cache in ram without using it.

2.4.3. Suppress cache log warnings (not recommended)

Configure logging to disable the logger for org.apache.catalina.webresources.Cache.

For more info about logging in Tomcat: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/logging.html

2.4.4. Disable cache

You can disable the cache by setting cachingAllowed to false. <Resources cachingAllowed="false" />

Although I can remember that in a beta version of Tomcat 8, I was using JMX to disable the cache. (Not sure why exactly, but there may be a problem with disabling the cache via server.xml.)

Tree view of a directory/folder in Windows?

I recommend WinDirStat.

I frequently use WinDirStat to create screen shots for user documentation of open folders and their contents.

It even uses the correct icons for Windows registered file types.

All I would say is missing is an option to display the files without their icons. I can live without it personally, since I am usually pasting the image into a paint program or Visio to edit it, but it would still be a useful feature.

Difference between Xms and Xmx and XX:MaxPermSize

Java objects reside in an area called the heap, while metadata such as class objects and method objects reside in the permanent generation or Perm Gen area. The permanent generation is not part of the heap.

The heap is created when the JVM starts up and may increase or decrease in size while the application runs. When the heap becomes full, garbage is collected. During the garbage collection objects that are no longer used are cleared, thus making space for new objects.

-Xmssize Specifies the initial heap size.

-Xmxsize Specifies the maximum heap size.

-XX:MaxPermSize=size Sets the maximum permanent generation space size. This option was deprecated in JDK 8, and superseded by the -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize option.

Sizes are expressed in bytes. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, m or M to indicate megabytes, g or G to indicate gigabytes.

How to delete from a text file, all lines that contain a specific string?

To remove the line and print the output to standard out:

sed '/pattern to match/d' ./infile

To directly modify the file – does not work with BSD sed:

sed -i '/pattern to match/d' ./infile

Same, but for BSD sed (Mac OS X and FreeBSD) – does not work with GNU sed:

sed -i '' '/pattern to match/d' ./infile

To directly modify the file (and create a backup) – works with BSD and GNU sed:

sed -i.bak '/pattern to match/d' ./infile

$ declare foo

$ is_set foo; echo $?

How to rename array keys in PHP?

Talking about functional PHP, I have this more generic answer:

    array_map(function($arr){
        $ret = $arr;
        $ret['value'] = $ret['url'];
        unset($ret['url']);
        return $ret;
    }, $tag);
}

JavaScript file not updating no matter what I do

The best way around browsercaches is to append a random number to the path of the js file.

Example in pseudo code:

// generate a random number
int i = Random.Next();
echo "<script src='a.js?'" + i + "></script>";

This will make sure your browser always reloads the file, because it thinks it's a different file because of the random number in the url.

The server will always return the file and ignore what comes after the '?'.

How can I specify system properties in Tomcat configuration on startup?

You could add necessary properties to catalina.properties file in <tomcat installation directory>/conf directory.

Reference: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/index.html

All system properties are available including those set using the -D syntax, those automatically made available by the JVM and those configured in the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties file.

Vagrant shared and synced folders

shared folders VS synced folders

Basically shared folders are renamed to synced folder from v1 to v2 (docs), under the bonnet it is still using vboxsf between host and guest (there is known performance issues if there are large numbers of files/directories).

Vagrantfile directory mounted as `/vagrant` in guest

Vagrant is mounting the current working directory (where Vagrantfile resides) as /vagrant in the guest, this is the default behaviour.

See docs

NOTE: By default, Vagrant will share your project directory (the directory with the Vagrantfile) to /vagrant.

You can disable this behaviour by adding cfg.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true in your Vagrantfile.

Why synced folder is not working

Based on the output /tmp on host was NOT mounted during up time.

Use VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant up or VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant reload to start the VM for more output regarding why the synced folder is not mounted. Could be a permission issue (mode bits of /tmp on host should be drwxrwxrwt).

I did a test quick test using the following and it worked (I used opscode bento raring vagrant base box)

config.vm.synced_folder "/tmp", "/tmp/src"

output

$ vagrant reload

How do I compare two strings in python?

Seems question is not about strings equality, but of sets equality. You can compare them this way only by splitting strings and converting them to sets:

s1 = 'abc def ghi'
s2 = 'def ghi abc'
set1 = set(s1.split(' '))
set2 = set(s2.split(' '))
print set1 == set2

Result will be

True

Adding values to specific DataTable cells

I think you can't do that but atleast you can update it. In order to edit an existing row in a DataTable, you need to locate the DataRow you want to edit, and then assign the updated values to the desired columns.

Example,

DataSet1.Tables(0).Rows(4).Item(0) = "Updated Company Name"
DataSet1.Tables(0).Rows(4).Item(1) = "Seattle"

How to run a task when variable is undefined in ansible?

Strictly stated you must check all of the following: defined, not empty AND not None.

For "normal" variables it makes a difference if defined and set or not set. See foo and bar in the example below. Both are defined but only foo is set.

On the other side registered variables are set to the result of the running command and vary from module to module. They are mostly json structures. You probably must check the subelement you're interested in. See xyz and xyz.msg in the example below:

cat > test.yml <<EOF
- hosts: 127.0.0.1

  vars:
    foo: ""          # foo is defined and foo == '' and foo != None
    bar:             # bar is defined and bar != '' and bar == None

  tasks:

  - debug:
      msg : ""
    register: xyz    # xyz is defined and xyz != '' and xyz != None
                     # xyz.msg is defined and xyz.msg == '' and xyz.msg != None

  - debug:
      msg: "foo is defined and foo == '' and foo != None"
    when: foo is defined and foo == '' and foo != None

  - debug:
      msg: "bar is defined and bar != '' and bar == None"
    when: bar is defined and bar != '' and bar == None

  - debug:
      msg: "xyz is defined and xyz != '' and xyz != None"
    when: xyz is defined and xyz != '' and xyz != None
  - debug:
      msg: "{{ xyz }}"

  - debug:
      msg: "xyz.msg is defined and xyz.msg == '' and xyz.msg != None"
    when: xyz.msg is defined and xyz.msg == '' and xyz.msg != None
  - debug:
      msg: "{{ xyz.msg }}"

HTML input - name vs. id

name identifies form fields* ; so they can be shared by controls that stand to represent multiple possibles values for such a field (radio buttons, checkboxes). They will be submitted as keys for form values.
id identifies DOM elements ; so they can be targeted by CSS or Javascript.

* names also used to identify local anchors, but this is deprecated and 'id' is a preferred way to do so nowadays.

Why can't I change my input value in React even with the onChange listener

If you would like to handle multiple inputs with one handler take a look at my approach where I'm using computed property to get value of the input based on it's name.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import "./style.css";

export default function App() {
  const [state, setState] = useState({
    name: "John Doe",
    email: "[email protected]"
  });

  const handleChange = e => {
    setState({
      [e.target.name]: e.target.value
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        type="text"
        className="name"
        name="name"
        value={state.name}
        onChange={handleChange}
      />

      <input
        type="text"
        className="email"
        name="email"
        value={state.email}
        onChange={handleChange}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

How to do jquery code AFTER page loading?

Use load instead of ready:

$(document).load(function () {
 // code here
});

Update You need to use .on() since jQuery 1.8. (http://api.jquery.com/on/)

$(window).on('load', function() {
 // code here
});

From this answer:

According to http://blog.jquery.com/2016/06/09/jquery-3-0-final-released/:

Removed deprecated event aliases

.load, .unload, and .error, deprecated since jQuery 1.8, are no more. Use .on() to register listeners.

How to access PHP variables in JavaScript or jQuery rather than <?php echo $variable ?>

Basically, yes. You write alert('<?php echo($phpvariable); ?>');

How to define a preprocessor symbol in Xcode

You don't need to create a user-defined setting. The built-in setting "Preprocessor Macros" works just fine. alt text http://idisk.mac.com/cdespinosa/Public/Picture%204.png

If you have multiple targets or projects that use the same prefix file, use Preprocessor Macros Not Used In Precompiled Headers instead, so differences in your macro definition don't trigger an unnecessary extra set of precompiled headers.

Can't check signature: public key not found

You need the public key in your gpg key ring. To import the public key into your public keyring, place the public key block in a text file with a .gpg extension, and then issue the following command:

gpg --import <your-file>.gpg

The entity that encrypted the file should provide you with such a block. For example, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg has the block for gnu.org.

Is JavaScript guaranteed to be single-threaded?

That's a good question. I'd love to say “yes”. I can't.

JavaScript is usually considered to have a single thread of execution visible to scripts(*), so that when your inline script, event listener or timeout is entered, you remain completely in control until you return from the end of your block or function.

(*: ignoring the question of whether browsers really implement their JS engines using one OS-thread, or whether other limited threads-of-execution are introduced by WebWorkers.)

However, in reality this isn't quite true, in sneaky nasty ways.

The most common case is immediate events. Browsers will fire these right away when your code does something to cause them:

_x000D_

var l= document.getElementById('log');_x000D_
var i= document.getElementById('inp');_x000D_
i.onblur= function() {_x000D_
    l.value+= 'blur\n';_x000D_
};_x000D_
setTimeout(function() {_x000D_
    l.value+= 'log in\n';_x000D_
    l.focus();_x000D_
    l.value+= 'log out\n';_x000D_
}, 100);_x000D_
i.focus();

_x000D_

<textarea id="log" rows="20" cols="40"></textarea>_x000D_
<input id="inp">

_x000D_

Results in log in, blur, log out on all except IE. These events don't just fire because you called focus() directly, they could happen because you called alert(), or opened a pop-up window, or anything else that moves the focus.

This can also result in other events. For example add an i.onchange listener and type something in the input before the focus() call unfocuses it, and the log order is log in, change, blur, log out, except in Opera where it's log in, blur, log out, change and IE where it's (even less explicably) log in, change, log out, blur.

Similarly calling click() on an element that provides it calls the onclick handler immediately in all browsers (at least this is consistent!).

(I'm using the direct on... event handler properties here, but the same happens with addEventListener and attachEvent.)

There's also a bunch of circumstances in which events can fire whilst your code is threaded in, despite you having done nothing to provoke it. An example:

_x000D_

var l= document.getElementById('log');_x000D_
document.getElementById('act').onclick= function() {_x000D_
    l.value+= 'alert in\n';_x000D_
    alert('alert!');_x000D_
    l.value+= 'alert out\n';_x000D_
};_x000D_
window.onresize= function() {_x000D_
    l.value+= 'resize\n';_x000D_
};

_x000D_

<textarea id="log" rows="20" cols="40"></textarea>_x000D_
<button id="act">alert</button>

_x000D_

Hit alert and you'll get a modal dialogue box. No more script executes until you dismiss that dialogue, yes? Nope. Resize the main window and you will get alert in, resize, alert out in the textarea.

You might think it's impossible to resize a window whilst a modal dialogue box is up, but not so: in Linux, you can resize the window as much as you like; on Windows it's not so easy, but you can do it by changing the screen resolution from a larger to a smaller one where the window doesn't fit, causing it to get resized.

You might think, well, it's only resize (and probably a few more like scroll) that can fire when the user doesn't have active interaction with the browser because script is threaded. And for single windows you might be right. But that all goes to pot as soon as you're doing cross-window scripting. For all browsers other than Safari, which blocks all windows/tabs/frames when any one of them is busy, you can interact with a document from the code of another document, running in a separate thread of execution and causing any related event handlers to fire.

Places where events that you can cause to be generated can be raised whilst script is still threaded:

when the modal popups (alert, confirm, prompt) are open, in all browsers but Opera;
during showModalDialog on browsers that support it;
the “A script on this page may be busy...” dialogue box, even if you choose to let the script continue to run, allows events like resize and blur to fire and be handled even whilst the script is in the middle of a busy-loop, except in Opera.
a while ago for me, in IE with the Sun Java Plugin, calling any method on an applet could allow events to fire and script to be re-entered. This was always a timing-sensitive bug, and it's possible Sun have fixed it since (I certainly hope so).
probably more. It's been a while since I tested this and browsers have gained complexity since.

In summary, JavaScript appears to most users, most of the time, to have a strict event-driven single thread of execution. In reality, it has no such thing. It is not clear how much of this is simply a bug and how much deliberate design, but if you're writing complex applications, especially cross-window/frame-scripting ones, there is every chance it could bite you — and in intermittent, hard-to-debug ways.

If the worst comes to the worst, you can solve concurrency problems by indirecting all event responses. When an event comes in, drop it in a queue and deal with the queue in order later, in a setInterval function. If you are writing a framework that you intend to be used by complex applications, doing this could be a good move. postMessage will also hopefully soothe the pain of cross-document scripting in the future.

Unable to Git-push master to Github - 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository / permission denied

What does

$ git config --get-regexp '^(remote|branch)\.'

returns (executed within your git repository) ?

Origin is just a default naming convention for referring to a remote Git repository.

If it does not refer to GitHub (but rather a path to your teammate repository, path which may no longer be valid or available), just add another origin, like in this Bloggitation entry

$ git remote add origin2 [email protected]:myLogin/myProject.git
$ git push origin2 master

(I would actually use the name 'github' rather than 'origin' or 'origin2')

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Check if your gitHub identity is correctly declared in your local Git repository, as mentioned in the GitHub Help guide. (both user.name and github.name -- and github.token)

Then, stonean blog suggests (as does Marcio Garcia):

$ cd ~/.ssh
$ ssh-add id_rsa

Aral Balkan adds: create a config file

The solution was to create a config file under ~/.ssh/ as outlined at the bottom of the OS X section of this page.

Here's the file I added, as per the instructions on the page, and my pushes started working again:

Host github.com
User git
Port 22
Hostname github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
TCPKeepAlive yes
IdentitiesOnly yes

You can also post the result of

ssh -v [email protected]

to have more information as to why GitHub ssh connection rejects you.

Check also you did enter correctly your public key (it needs to end with '==').
Do not paste your private key, but your public one. A public key would look something like:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3<big string here>== [email protected]

(Note: did you use a passphrase for your ssh keys ? It would be easier without a passphrase)

Check also the url used when pushing ([email protected]/..., not git://github.com/...)

Check that you do have a SSH Agent to use and cache your key.

Try this:

 $ ssh -i path/to/public/key [email protected]

If that works, then it means your key is not being sent to GitHub by your ssh client.

What is the most useful script you've written for everyday life?

I wrote a script that ended up being used every day in my team. When I used to work for Intel we had an app that talked to an access database to grab a dump of register information (I worked on validating chipsets). It would take this information (from a SQL query) and dump it into a CSV file, HTML file, and an Excel file. The whole process took almost 2 hours. No joke. No idea why it took so long. We would start it up an hour before lunch, go to lunch, and then come back.

I thought that there had to be a better way of doing this. I talked to the team that maintained the registry database and got the SQL code from them. I then wrote a perl script that grabbed the data and outputted it into CSV, HTML, and Excel formats. Runtime? Around 1-2 seconds. A great speed improvement.

I also wrote a few scripts while I was on deployment in Iraq in 2006 (I served in the National Guard for 9 years - got out in December). We used this old app called ULLS-G (Unit Level Logistics System - Ground) that was written in ADA and originally ran on DOS. They hacked it enough to where it would run on Windows XP in a command shell. This system didn't have a mouse interface. Everything was via keyboard and it had NO batch functionality. So let's say you wanted to print out licenses for all vehicle operators? Well... we had 150 soldiers in our unit so it took a LONG time. Let's say everyone got qualified on a new vehicle and you wanted to add it to everyone's operator qualifications? You had to do it one by one.

I was able to find an ODBC driver for the SAGE database (what ULLS-G used) and so I wrote perl scripts that were able to talk to the SAGE database. So things that took over an hour, now took only a few seconds. I also used my scripts and the driver for reporting. We had to report all information up to battalion every morning. Other units would write the information in by hand every morning. I whipped up an Excel macro that talked used the same driver and talked to the SAGE database and updated the Excel spreadsheet that way. It's the most complicated and only Excel macro I've ever written. It paid off because they awarded me the Army Commendation Medal. So yeah, I got a medal in the military for writing perl scripts :) How many can say that? ;)

Best approach to converting Boolean object to string in java

If you are sure that your value is not null you can use third option which is

String str3 = b.toString();

and its code looks like

public String toString() {
    return value ? "true" : "false";
}

If you want to be null-safe use String.valueOf(b) which code looks like

public static String valueOf(Object obj) {
    return (obj == null) ? "null" : obj.toString();
}

so as you see it will first test for null and later invoke toString() method on your object.

Calling Boolean.toString(b) will invoke

public static String toString(boolean b) {
    return b ? "true" : "false";
}

which is little slower than b.toString() since JVM needs to first unbox Boolean to boolean which will be passed as argument to Boolean.toString(...), while b.toString() reuses private boolean value field in Boolean object which holds its state.

Async/Await Class Constructor

Based on your comments, you should probably do what every other HTMLElement with asset loading does: make the constructor start a sideloading action, generating a load or error event depending on the result.

Yes, that means using promises, but it also means "doing things the same way as every other HTML element", so you're in good company. For instance:

var img = new Image();
img.onload = function(evt) { ... }
img.addEventListener("load", evt => ... );
img.onerror = function(evt) { ... }
img.addEventListener("error", evt => ... );
img.src = "some url";

this kicks off an asynchronous load of the source asset that, when it succeeds, ends in onload and when it goes wrong, ends in onerror. So, make your own class do this too:

class EMailElement extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.uid = this.getAttribute('data-uid');
  }

  setAttribute(name, value) {
    super.setAttribute(name, value);
    if (name === 'data-uid') {
      this.uid = value;
    }
  }

  set uid(input) {
    if (!input) return;
    const uid = parseInt(input);
    // don't fight the river, go with the flow
    let getEmail = new Promise( (resolve, reject) => {
      yourDataBase.getByUID(uid, (err, result) => {
        if (err) return reject(err);
        resolve(result);
      });
    });
    // kick off the promise, which will be async all on its own
    getEmail()
    .then(result => {
      this.renderLoaded(result.message);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      this.renderError(error);
    });
  }
};

customElements.define('e-mail', EmailElement);

And then you make the renderLoaded/renderError functions deal with the event calls and shadow dom:

  renderLoaded(message) {
    const shadowRoot = this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});
    shadowRoot.innerHTML = `

    // there might be modern event listeners. dispatch an event.
    this.dispatchEvent(new Event('load', ...));
  }

  renderFailed() {
    const shadowRoot = this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});
    shadowRoot.innerHTML = `
      <div class="email">No email messages.</div>
    `;
    // is there an ancient event listener?
    if (this.onload) {
      this.onerror(...);
    }
    // there might be modern event listeners. dispatch an event.
    this.dispatchEvent(new Event('error', ...));
  }

Also note I changed your id to a class, because unless you write some weird code to only ever allow a single instance of your <e-mail> element on a page, you can't use a unique identifier and then assign it to a bunch of elements.

PostgreSQL function for last inserted ID

Try this:

select nextval('my_seq_name');  // Returns next value

If this return 1 (or whatever is the start_value for your sequence), then reset the sequence back to the original value, passing the false flag:

select setval('my_seq_name', 1, false);

Otherwise,

select setval('my_seq_name', nextValue - 1, true);

This will restore the sequence value to the original state and "setval" will return with the sequence value you are looking for.

Display Last Saved Date on worksheet

There is no built in function with this capability. The close would be to save the file in a folder named for the current date and use the =INFO("directory") function.

Get a list of URLs from a site

Write a spider which reads in every html from disk and outputs every "href" attribute of an "a" element (can be done with a parser). Keep in mind which links belong to a certain page (this is common task for a MultiMap datastructre). After this you can produce a mapping file which acts as the input for the 404 handler.

Cell Style Alignment on a range

Something that works for me. Enjoy.

Excel.Application excelApplication =  new Excel.Application()  // start excel and turn off msg boxes
{
     DisplayAlerts = false,
     Visible = false
};

Excel.Workbook workBook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(targetFile);
Excel.Worksheet workSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)workBook.Worksheets[1];

var rDT = workSheet.Range(workSheet.Cells[monthYearNameRow, monthYearNameCol], workSheet.Cells[monthYearNameRow, maxTableColumnIndex]);
rDT.Merge();
rDT.Value = monthName + " " + year;
var reportDateRowStyle = workBook.Styles.Add("ReportDateRowStyle");
reportDateRowStyle.HorizontalAlignment = XlHAlign.xlHAlignCenter;
reportDateRowStyle.Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Black);
reportDateRowStyle.Font.Bold = true;
reportDateRowStyle.Font.Size = 14;
rDT.Style = reportDateRowStyle;

Python: can't assign to literal

1, 2, 3 ,... are invalid identifiers in python because first of all they are integer objects and secondly in python a variable name can't start with a number.

>>> 1 = 12    #you can't assign to an integer
  File "<ipython-input-177-30a62b7248f1>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to literal

>>> 1a = 12   #1a is an invalid variable name
  File "<ipython-input-176-f818ca46b7dc>", line 1
    1a = 12
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Valid identifier definition:

identifier ::=  (letter|"_") (letter | digit | "_")*
letter     ::=  lowercase | uppercase
lowercase  ::=  "a"..."z"
uppercase  ::=  "A"..."Z"
digit      ::=  "0"..."9"

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'. > java.io.IOException: Could not delete folder "" in android studio

In my case, that problem is about permissions. if you open android studio as administrator (or using sudo) then if you open the project again as normal user, android studio may not delete some files because when you open the project as administrator, some project files permissions are changed. If you lived those steps, I think you should clone the project from your VCS (git, tfs, svn etc.) again. Otherwise you have to configure project file - folder permissions.

Eclipse "Server Locations" section disabled and need to change to use Tomcat installation

If your server is not loaded with heavy configuration, the best solution would be to delete the tomcat and set it again.
It will be much easier then doing try and error for 7-10 times!

Python3 integer division

Try this:

a = 1
b = 2
int_div  = a // b

How do I reset the setInterval timer?

If by "restart", you mean to start a new 4 second interval at this moment, then you must stop and restart the timer.

function myFn() {console.log('idle');}

var myTimer = setInterval(myFn, 4000);

// Then, later at some future time, 
// to restart a new 4 second interval starting at this exact moment in time
clearInterval(myTimer);
myTimer = setInterval(myFn, 4000);

You could also use a little timer object that offers a reset feature:

function Timer(fn, t) {
    var timerObj = setInterval(fn, t);

    this.stop = function() {
        if (timerObj) {
            clearInterval(timerObj);
            timerObj = null;
        }
        return this;
    }

    // start timer using current settings (if it's not already running)
    this.start = function() {
        if (!timerObj) {
            this.stop();
            timerObj = setInterval(fn, t);
        }
        return this;
    }

    // start with new or original interval, stop current interval
    this.reset = function(newT = t) {
        t = newT;
        return this.stop().start();
    }
}

Usage:

var timer = new Timer(function() {
    // your function here
}, 5000);


// switch interval to 10 seconds
timer.reset(10000);

// stop the timer
timer.stop();

// start the timer
timer.start();

Detect if checkbox is checked or unchecked in Angular.js ng-change event

You could just use the bound ng-model (answers[item.questID]) value itself in your ng-change method to detect if it has been checked or not.

Example:-

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="answers[item.questID]" 
     ng-change="stateChanged(item.questID)" /> <!-- Pass the specific id -->

and

$scope.stateChanged = function (qId) {
   if($scope.answers[qId]){ //If it is checked
       alert('test');
   }
}

Change the "No file chosen":

This will help you to change the name for "no file choose to Select profile picture"

<input type='file'id="files" class="hidden"/>  
<label for="files">Select profile picture</label>

Using margin / padding to space <span> from the rest of the <p>

Use div instead of span, or add display: block; to your css style for the span tag.

Fill background color left to right CSS

If you are like me and need to change color of text itself also while in the same time filling the background color check my solution.

Steps to create:

Have two text, one is static colored in color on hover, and the other one in default state color which you will be moving on hover
On hover move wrapper of the not static one text while in the same time move inner text of that wrapper to the opposite direction.
Make sure to add overflow hidden where needed

Good thing about this solution:

Support IE9, uses only transform
Button (or element you are applying animation) is fluid in width, so no fixed values are being used here

Not so good thing about this solution:

A really messy markup, could be solved by using pseudo elements and att(data)?
There is some small glitch in animation when having more then one button next to each other, maybe it could be easily solved but I didn't take much time to investigate yet.

Check the pen ---> https://codepen.io/nikolamitic/pen/vpNoNq

<button class="btn btn--animation-from-right">
  <span class="btn__text-static">Cover left</span>
  <div class="btn__text-dynamic">
    <span class="btn__text-dynamic-inner">Cover left</span>
  </div>
</button>

.btn {
  padding: 10px 20px;
  position: relative;

  border: 2px solid #222;
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #222;
  position: relative;

  overflow: hidden;
  cursor: pointer;

  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-family: monospace;
  letter-spacing: -1px;

  [class^="btn__text"] {
    font-size: 24px;
  }

  .btn__text-dynamic,
  .btn__text-dynamic-inner {    
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;

    position: absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    bottom:0;
    z-index: 2;

    transition: all ease 0.5s;
  }

  .btn__text-dynamic {
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #222;

    overflow: hidden;
  }

  &:hover {
    .btn__text-dynamic {
      transform: translateX(-100%);
    }
    .btn__text-dynamic-inner {
      transform: translateX(100%);
    }
  }
}

.btn--animation-from-right {
    &:hover {
    .btn__text-dynamic {
      transform: translateX(100%);
    }
    .btn__text-dynamic-inner {
      transform: translateX(-100%);
    }
  }
}

You can remove .btn--animation-from-right modifier if you want to animate to the left.

How to listen to the window scroll event in a VueJS component?

I've been in the need for this feature many times, therefore I've extracted it into a mixin. It can be used like this:

import windowScrollPosition from 'path/to/mixin.js'

new Vue({
  mixins: [ windowScrollPosition('position') ]
})

This creates a reactive position property (can be named whatever we like) on the Vue instance. The property contains the window scroll position as an [x,y] array.

Feel free to play around with this CodeSandbox demo.

Here's the code of the mixin. It's thoroughly commentated, so it should not be too hard to get an idea how it works:

function windowScrollPosition(propertyName) {
  return {
    data() {
      return {
        // Initialize scroll position at [0, 0]
        [propertyName]: [0, 0]
      }
    },
    created() {
      // Only execute this code on the client side, server sticks to [0, 0]
      if (!this.$isServer) {
        this._scrollListener = () => {
          // window.pageX/YOffset is equivalent to window.scrollX/Y, but works in IE
          // We round values because high-DPI devies can provide some really nasty subpixel values
          this[propertyName] = [
            Math.round(window.pageXOffset),
            Math.round(window.pageYOffset)
          ]
        }

        // Call listener once to detect initial position
        this._scrollListener()

        // When scrolling, update the position
        window.addEventListener('scroll', this._scrollListener)
      }
    },
    beforeDestroy() {
      // Detach the listener when the component is gone
      window.removeEventListener('scroll', this._scrollListener)
    }
  }
}

Remove last character from string. Swift language

var str = "Hello, playground"

extension String {
    var stringByDeletingLastCharacter: String {
        return dropLast(self)
    }
}

println(str.stringByDeletingLastCharacter)   // "Hello, playgroun"

How do I get the full url of the page I am on in C#

if you need the full URL as everything from the http to the querystring you will need to concatenate the following variables

Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") // to check if it's HTTP or HTTPS
Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") 
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") 
Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")

Automatic creation date for Django model form objects?

Well, the above answer is correct, auto_now_add and auto_now would do it, but it would be better to make an abstract class and use it in any model where you require created_at and updated_at fields.

class TimeStampMixin(models.Model):
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

Now anywhere you want to use it you can do a simple inherit and you can use timestamp in any model you make like.

class Posts(TimeStampMixin):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    ...
    ...

In this way, you can leverage object-oriented reusability, in Django DRY(don't repeat yourself)
