Set disable attribute based on a condition for Html.TextBoxFor

The valid way is:

disabled="disabled"

Browsers also might accept disabled="" but I would recommend you the first approach.

Now this being said I would recommend you writing a custom HTML helper in order to encapsulate this disabling functionality into a reusable piece of code:

using System;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Mvc.Html;
using System.Web.Routing;

public static class HtmlExtensions
{
    public static IHtmlString MyTextBoxFor<TModel, TProperty>(
        this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, 
        Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression, 
        object htmlAttributes, 
        bool disabled
    )
    {
        var attributes = new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes);
        if (disabled)
        {
            attributes["disabled"] = "disabled";
        }
        return htmlHelper.TextBoxFor(expression, attributes);
    }
}

which you could use like this:

@Html.MyTextBoxFor(
    model => model.ExpireDate, 
    new { 
        style = "width: 70px;", 
        maxlength = "10", 
        id = "expire-date" 
    }, 
    Model.ExpireDate == null
)

and you could bring even more intelligence into this helper:

public static class HtmlExtensions
{
    public static IHtmlString MyTextBoxFor<TModel, TProperty>(
        this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper,
        Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression,
        object htmlAttributes
    )
    {
        var attributes = new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes);
        var metaData = ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(expression, htmlHelper.ViewData);
        if (metaData.Model == null)
        {
            attributes["disabled"] = "disabled";
        }
        return htmlHelper.TextBoxFor(expression, attributes);
    }
}

so that now you no longer need to specify the disabled condition:

@Html.MyTextBoxFor(
    model => model.ExpireDate, 
    new { 
        style = "width: 70px;", 
        maxlength = "10", 
        id = "expire-date" 
    }
)

Removing a Fragment from the back stack

you show fragment in a container (with id= fragmentcontainer) so you remove fragment with:

 Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentContainer);
            fragmentTransaction.remove(fragment);
            fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
            fragmentTransaction.commit();

s = "many   fancy word \nhello    \thi"
re.split('\s+', s)

What is the best way to conditionally apply attributes in AngularJS?

<h1 ng-attr-contenteditable="{{isTrue || undefined }}">{{content.title}}</h1>

will produce when isTrue=true : <h1 contenteditable="true">{{content.title}}</h1>

and when isTrue=false : <h1>{{content.title}}</h1>

Read an Excel file directly from a R script

Given the proliferation of different ways to read an Excel file in R and the plethora of answers here, I thought I'd try to shed some light on which of the options mentioned here perform the best (in a few simple situations).

I myself have been using xlsx since I started using R, for inertia if nothing else, and I recently noticed there doesn't seem to be any objective information about which package works better.

Any benchmarking exercise is fraught with difficulties as some packages are sure to handle certain situations better than others, and a waterfall of other caveats.

That said, I'm using a (reproducible) data set that I think is in a pretty common format (8 string fields, 3 numeric, 1 integer, 3 dates):

set.seed(51423)
data.frame(
  str1 = sample(sprintf("%010d", 1:NN)), #ID field 1
  str2 = sample(sprintf("%09d", 1:NN)),  #ID field 2
  #varying length string field--think names/addresses, etc.
  str3 = 
    replicate(NN, paste0(sample(LETTERS, sample(10:30, 1L), TRUE),
                         collapse = "")),
  #factor-like string field with 50 "levels"
  str4 = sprintf("%05d", sample(sample(1e5, 50L), NN, TRUE)),
  #factor-like string field with 17 levels, varying length
  str5 = 
    sample(replicate(17L, paste0(sample(LETTERS, sample(15:25, 1L), TRUE),
                                 collapse = "")), NN, TRUE),
  #lognormally distributed numeric
  num1 = round(exp(rnorm(NN, mean = 6.5, sd = 1.5)), 2L),
  #3 binary strings
  str6 = sample(c("Y","N"), NN, TRUE),
  str7 = sample(c("M","F"), NN, TRUE),
  str8 = sample(c("B","W"), NN, TRUE),
  #right-skewed integer
  int1 = ceiling(rexp(NN)),
  #dates by month
  dat1 = 
    sample(seq(from = as.Date("2005-12-31"), 
               to = as.Date("2015-12-31"), by = "month"),
           NN, TRUE),
  dat2 = 
    sample(seq(from = as.Date("2005-12-31"), 
               to = as.Date("2015-12-31"), by = "month"),
           NN, TRUE),
  num2 = round(exp(rnorm(NN, mean = 6, sd = 1.5)), 2L),
  #date by day
  dat3 = 
    sample(seq(from = as.Date("2015-06-01"), 
               to = as.Date("2015-07-15"), by = "day"),
           NN, TRUE),
  #lognormal numeric that can be positive or negative
  num3 = 
    (-1) ^ sample(2, NN, TRUE) * round(exp(rnorm(NN, mean = 6, sd = 1.5)), 2L)
)

I then wrote this to csv and opened in LibreOffice and saved it as an .xlsx file, then benchmarked 4 of the packages mentioned in this thread: xlsx, openxlsx, readxl, and gdata, using the default options (I also tried a version of whether or not I specify column types, but this didn't change the rankings).

I'm excluding RODBC because I'm on Linux; XLConnect because it seems its primary purpose is not reading in single Excel sheets but importing entire Excel workbooks, so to put its horse in the race on only its reading capabilities seems unfair; and xlsReadWrite because it is no longer compatible with my version of R (seems to have been phased out).

I then ran benchmarks with NN=1000L and NN=25000L (resetting the seed before each declaration of the data.frame above) to allow for differences with respect to Excel file size. gc is primarily for xlsx, which I've found at times can create memory clogs. Without further ado, here are the results I found:

1,000-Row Excel File

benchmark1k <-
  microbenchmark(times = 100L,
                 xlsx = {xlsx::read.xlsx2(fl, sheetIndex=1); invisible(gc())},
                 openxlsx = {openxlsx::read.xlsx(fl); invisible(gc())},
                 readxl = {readxl::read_excel(fl); invisible(gc())},
                 gdata = {gdata::read.xls(fl); invisible(gc())})

# Unit: milliseconds
#      expr       min        lq      mean    median        uq       max neval
#      xlsx  194.1958  199.2662  214.1512  201.9063  212.7563  354.0327   100
#  openxlsx  142.2074  142.9028  151.9127  143.7239  148.0940  255.0124   100
#    readxl  122.0238  122.8448  132.4021  123.6964  130.2881  214.5138   100
#     gdata 2004.4745 2042.0732 2087.8724 2062.5259 2116.7795 2425.6345   100

So readxl is the winner, with openxlsx competitive and gdata a clear loser. Taking each measure relative to the column minimum:

#       expr   min    lq  mean median    uq   max
# 1     xlsx  1.59  1.62  1.62   1.63  1.63  1.65
# 2 openxlsx  1.17  1.16  1.15   1.16  1.14  1.19
# 3   readxl  1.00  1.00  1.00   1.00  1.00  1.00
# 4    gdata 16.43 16.62 15.77  16.67 16.25 11.31

We see my own favorite, xlsx is 60% slower than readxl.

25,000-Row Excel File

Due to the amount of time it takes, I only did 20 repetitions on the larger file, otherwise the commands were identical. Here's the raw data:

# Unit: milliseconds
#      expr        min         lq       mean     median         uq        max neval
#      xlsx  4451.9553  4539.4599  4738.6366  4762.1768  4941.2331  5091.0057    20
#  openxlsx   962.1579   981.0613   988.5006   986.1091   992.6017  1040.4158    20
#    readxl   341.0006   344.8904   347.0779   346.4518   348.9273   360.1808    20
#     gdata 43860.4013 44375.6340 44848.7797 44991.2208 45251.4441 45652.0826    20

Here's the relative data:

#       expr    min     lq   mean median     uq    max
# 1     xlsx  13.06  13.16  13.65  13.75  14.16  14.13
# 2 openxlsx   2.82   2.84   2.85   2.85   2.84   2.89
# 3   readxl   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00
# 4    gdata 128.62 128.67 129.22 129.86 129.69 126.75

So readxl is the clear winner when it comes to speed. gdata better have something else going for it, as it's painfully slow in reading Excel files, and this problem is only exacerbated for larger tables.

Two draws of openxlsx are 1) its extensive other methods (readxl is designed to do only one thing, which is probably part of why it's so fast), especially its write.xlsx function, and 2) (more of a drawback for readxl) the col_types argument in readxl only (as of this writing) accepts some nonstandard R: "text" instead of "character" and "date" instead of "Date".

python modify item in list, save back in list

You could do this:

for idx, item in enumerate(list):
   if 'foo' in item:
       item = replace_all(...)
       list[idx] = item

Java String declaration

There is a small difference between both.

Second declaration assignates the reference associated to the constant SOMEto the variable str

First declaration creates a new String having for value the value of the constant SOME and assignates its reference to the variable str.

In the first case, a second String has been created having the same value that SOME which implies more inititialization time. As a consequence, you should avoid it. Furthermore, at compile time, all constants SOMEare transformed into the same instance, which uses far less memory.

As a consequence, always prefer second syntax.

Catching access violation exceptions?

This type of situation is implementation dependent and consequently it will require a vendor specific mechanism in order to trap. With Microsoft this will involve SEH, and *nix will involve a signal

In general though catching an Access Violation exception is a very bad idea. There is almost no way to recover from an AV exception and attempting to do so will just lead to harder to find bugs in your program.

INSERT with SELECT

The right Syntax for your query is:

INSERT INTO courses (name, location, gid) 
SELECT (name, location, gid) 
FROM courses 
WHERE cid = $cid

Do you get charged for a 'stopped' instance on EC2?

This may have changed since the question was asked, but there is a difference between stopping an instance and terminating an instance.

If your instance is EBS-based, it can be stopped. It will remain in your account, but you will not be charged for it (you will continue to be charged for EBS storage associated with the instance and unused Elastic IP addresses). You can re-start the instance at any time.

If the instance is terminated, it will be deleted from your account. You’ll be charged for any remaining EBS volumes, but by default the associated EBS volume will be deleted. This can be configured when you create the instance using the command-line EC2 API Tools.

How to get the current logged in user Id in ASP.NET Core

As stated somewhere in this post, the GetUserId() method has been moved to the UserManager.

private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;

public YourController(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
{
    _userManager = userManager;
}

public IActionResult MyAction()
{
    var userId = _userManager.GetUserId(HttpContext.User);

    var model = GetSomeModelByUserId(userId);

    return View(model);
}

If you started an empty project you might need to add the UserManger to your services in startup.cs. Otherwise this should already be the case.

Compiling an application for use in highly radioactive environments

This is an extremely broad subject. Basically, you can't really recover from memory corruption, but you can at least try to fail promptly. Here are a few techniques you could use:

  • checksum constant data. If you have any configuration data which stays constant for a long time (including hardware registers you have configured), compute its checksum on initialization and verify it periodically. When you see a mismatch, it's time to re-initialize or reset.

  • store variables with redundancy. If you have an important variable x, write its value in x1, x2 and x3 and read it as (x1 == x2) ? x2 : x3.

  • implement program flow monitoring. XOR a global flag with a unique value in important functions/branches called from the main loop. Running the program in a radiation-free environment with near-100% test coverage should give you the list of acceptable values of the flag at the end of the cycle. Reset if you see deviations.

  • monitor the stack pointer. In the beginning of the main loop, compare the stack pointer with its expected value. Reset on deviation.

How to get a matplotlib Axes instance to plot to?

You can either

fig, ax = plt.subplots()  #create figure and axes
candlestick(ax, quotes, ...)

or

candlestick(plt.gca(), quotes) #get the axis when calling the function

The first gives you more flexibility. The second is much easier if candlestick is the only thing you want to plot

how to query child objects in mongodb

Assuming your "states" collection is like:

{"name" : "Spain", "cities" : [ { "name" : "Madrid" }, { "name" : null } ] }
{"name" : "France" }

The query to find states with null cities would be:

db.states.find({"cities.name" : {"$eq" : null, "$exists" : true}});

It is a common mistake to query for nulls as:

db.states.find({"cities.name" : null});

because this query will return all documents lacking the key (in our example it will return Spain and France). So, unless you are sure the key is always present you must check that the key exists as in the first query.

How can I use the HTML5 canvas element in IE?

You can try fxCanvas: https://code.google.com/p/fxcanvas/

It implements almost all Canvas API within flash shim.

Parsing JSON in Spring MVC using Jackson JSON

The whole point of using a mapping technology like Jackson is that you can use Objects (you don't have to parse the JSON yourself).

Define a Java class that resembles the JSON you will be expecting.

e.g. this JSON:

{
"foo" : ["abc","one","two","three"],
"bar" : "true",
"baz" : "1"
}

could be mapped to this class:

public class Fizzle{
    private List<String> foo;
    private boolean bar;
    private int baz;
    // getters and setters omitted
}

Now if you have a Controller method like this:

@RequestMapping("somepath")
@ResponseBody
public Fozzle doSomeThing(@RequestBody Fizzle input){
    return new Fozzle(input);
}

and you pass in the JSON from above, Jackson will automatically create a Fizzle object for you, and it will serialize a JSON view of the returned Object out to the response with mime type application/json.

For a full working example see this previous answer of mine.

Composer: The requested PHP extension ext-intl * is missing from your system

For php.ini 5.6 version (check version using php -v)

;extension=php_intl.dll ; remove semicolon and keep like this extension=php_intl.dll

For php.ini 7.* version

;extension=intl ; remove semicolon and keep like this extension=intl

Note - After That Make Sure to Restart Your Xampp,Wamp Server in you Local Machine.

Remove NA values from a vector

?max shows you that there is an extra parameter na.rm that you can set to TRUE.

Apart from that, if you really want to remove the NAs, just use something like:

Configure DataSource programmatically in Spring Boot

I customized Tomcat DataSource in Spring-Boot 2.

Dependency versions:

  • spring-boot: 2.1.9.RELEASE
  • tomcat-jdbc: 9.0.20

May be it will be useful for somebody.

Is Secure.ANDROID_ID unique for each device?

I've read a few things about this and unfortunately the ANDROID_ID should not be relied on for uniquely identifying an individual device.

It doesn't seem to be enforced in Android compliance requirements and so manufacturers seem to implement it the way they choose including some using it more as a 'model' ID etc.

Also, be aware that even if a manufacturer has written a generator to make it a UUID (for example), it's not guaranteed to survive a factory reset.

PHP is_numeric or preg_match 0-9 validation

PHP's is_numeric function allows for floats as well as integers. At the same time, the is_int function is too strict if you want to validate form data (strings only). Therefore, you had usually best use regular expressions for this.

Strictly speaking, integers are whole numbers positive and negative, and also including zero. Here is a regular expression for this:

/^0$|^[-]?[1-9][0-9]*$/

OR, if you want to allow leading zeros:

/^[-]?[0]|[1-9][0-9]$/

Note that this will allow for values such as -0000, which does not cause problems in PHP, however. (MySQL will also cast such values as 0.)

You may also want to confine the length of your integer for considerations of 32/64-bit PHP platform features and/or database compatibility. For instance, to limit the length of your integer to 9 digits (excluding the optional - sign), you could use:

/^0$|^[-]?[1-9][0-9]{0,8}$/

Why do some functions have underscores "__" before and after the function name?

Names surrounded by double underscores are "special" to Python. They're listed in the Python Language Reference, section 3, "Data model".

C pointer to array/array of pointers disambiguation

int *arr1[5]

In this declaration, arr1 is an array of 5 pointers to integers. Reason: Square brackets have higher precedence over * (dereferncing operator). And in this type, number of rows are fixed (5 here), but number of columns is variable.

int (*arr2)[5]

In this declaration, arr2 is a pointer to an integer array of 5 elements. Reason: Here, () brackets have higher precedence than []. And in this type, number of rows is variable, but the number of columns is fixed (5 here).

Change Title of Javascript Alert

As others have said, you can't do that either using alert()or confirm().

You can, however, create an external HTML document containing your error message and an OK button, set its <title> element to whatever you want, then display it in a modal dialog box using showModalDialog().

How to check if a variable exists in a FreeMarker template?

Also I think if_exists was used like:

Hi ${userName?if_exists}, How are you?

which will not break if userName is null, the result if null would be:

Hi , How are you?

if_exists is now deprecated and has been replaced with the default operator ! as in

Hi ${userName!}, How are you?

the default operator also supports a default value, such as:

Hi ${userName!"John Doe"}, How are you?

Difference between abstract class and interface in Python

In general, interfaces are used only in languages that use the single-inheritance class model. In these single-inheritance languages, interfaces are typically used if any class could use a particular method or set of methods. Also in these single-inheritance languages, abstract classes are used to either have defined class variables in addition to none or more methods, or to exploit the single-inheritance model to limit the range of classes that could use a set of methods.

Languages that support the multiple-inheritance model tend to use only classes or abstract base classes and not interfaces. Since Python supports multiple inheritance, it does not use interfaces and you would want to use base classes or abstract base classes.

Change One Cell's Data in mysql

Some of the columns in MySQL have an "on update" clause, see:

I'm not sure how to update this but will post an edit when I find out.

Can't bind to 'routerLink' since it isn't a known property

I'll add another case where I was getting the same error but just being a dummy. I had added [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}" without yet adding routerLinkActive="active".

My incorrect code was

<a class="nav-link active" routerLink="/dashboard" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}">
  Home
</a>

when it should have been

<a class="nav-link active" routerLink="/dashboard" routerLinkActive="active" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}">
  Home
</a>

Without having routerLinkActive, you can't have routerLinkActiveOptions.

Differences between fork and exec

The main difference between fork() and exec() is that,

The fork() system call creates a clone of the currently running program. The original program continues execution with the next line of code after the fork() function call. The clone also starts execution at the next line of code. Look at the following code that i got from http://timmurphy.org/2014/04/26/using-fork-in-cc-a-minimum-working-example/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    printf("--beginning of program\n");
    int counter = 0;
    pid_t pid = fork();
    if (pid == 0)
    {
        // child process
        int i = 0;
        for (; i < 5; ++i)
        {
            printf("child process: counter=%d\n", ++counter);
        }
    }
    else if (pid > 0)
    {
        // parent process
        int j = 0;
        for (; j < 5; ++j)
        {
            printf("parent process: counter=%d\n", ++counter);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // fork failed
        printf("fork() failed!\n");
        return 1;
    }
    printf("--end of program--\n");
    return 0;
}

This program declares a counter variable, set to zero, before fork()ing. After the fork call, we have two processes running in parallel, both incrementing their own version of counter. Each process will run to completion and exit. Because the processes run in parallel, we have no way of knowing which will finish first. Running this program will print something similar to what is shown below, though results may vary from one run to the next.

--beginning of program
parent process: counter=1
parent process: counter=2
parent process: counter=3
child process: counter=1
parent process: counter=4
child process: counter=2
parent process: counter=5
child process: counter=3
--end of program--
child process: counter=4
child process: counter=5
--end of program--

The exec() family of system calls replaces the currently executing code of a process with another piece of code. The process retains its PID but it becomes a new program. For example, consider the following code:

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <unistd.h> 
main() {
 char program[80],*args[3];
 int i; 
printf("Ready to exec()...\n"); 
strcpy(program,"date"); 
args[0]="date"; 
args[1]="-u"; 
args[2]=NULL; 
i=execvp(program,args); 
printf("i=%d ... did it work?\n",i); 
} 

This program calls the execvp() function to replace its code with the date program. If the code is stored in a file named exec1.c, then executing it produces the following output:

Ready to exec()... 
Tue Jul 15 20:17:53 UTC 2008 

The program outputs the line -Ready to exec() . . . ? and after calling the execvp() function, replaces its code with the date program. Note that the line - . . . did it work? is not displayed, because at that point the code has been replaced. Instead, we see the output of executing -date -u.?

How to determine the Schemas inside an Oracle Data Pump Export file

The running the impdp command to produce an sqlfile, you will need to run it as a user which has the DATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE role.

Or... run it as a low privileged user and use the MASTER_ONLY=YES option, then inspect the master table. e.g.

select value_t 
from SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01 
where name = 'CLIENT_COMMAND' 
and process_order = -59;

col object_name for a30
col processing_status head STATUS for a6
col processing_state head STATE for a5
select distinct
  object_schema,
  object_name,
  object_type,
  object_tablespace,
  process_order,
  duplicate,
  processing_status,
  processing_state
from sys_import_table_01
where process_order > 0
and object_name is not null
order by object_schema, object_name

Lining up labels with radio buttons in bootstrap

In Bootstrap 4 you can use the form-check-inline class.

<div class="form-check form-check-inline">
  <input class="form-check-input" type="radio" name="queryFieldName" id="option1" value="1">
  <label class="form-check-label" for="option1">First</label>
</div>
<div class="form-check form-check-inline">
  <input class="form-check-input" type="radio" name="queryFieldName" id="option2" value="2">
  <label class="form-check-label" for="option2">Second</label>
</div>

Linq to SQL .Sum() without group ... into

I know this is an old question but why can't you do it like:

db.OrderLineItems.Where(o => o.OrderId == currentOrder.OrderId).Sum(o => o.WishListItem.Price);

I am not sure how to do this using query expressions.

Remove all whitespace in a string

import re    
sentence = ' hello  apple'
re.sub(' ','',sentence) #helloworld (remove all spaces)
re.sub('  ',' ',sentence) #hello world (remove double spaces)

Run PostgreSQL queries from the command line

SELECT * FROM my_table;

where my_table is the name of your table.

EDIT:

psql -c "SELECT * FROM my_table"

or just psql and then type your queries.

What is the difference between active and passive FTP?

Active and passive are the two modes that FTP can run in.

For background, FTP actually uses two channels between client and server, the command and data channels, which are actually separate TCP connections.

The command channel is for commands and responses while the data channel is for actually transferring files.

This separation of command information and data into separate channels a nifty way of being able to send commands to the server without having to wait for the current data transfer to finish. As per the RFC, this is only mandated for a subset of commands, such as quitting, aborting the current transfer, and getting the status.


In active mode, the client establishes the command channel but the server is responsible for establishing the data channel. This can actually be a problem if, for example, the client machine is protected by firewalls and will not allow unauthorised session requests from external parties.

In passive mode, the client establishes both channels. We already know it establishes the command channel in active mode and it does the same here.

However, it then requests the server (on the command channel) to start listening on a port (at the servers discretion) rather than trying to establish a connection back to the client.

As part of this, the server also returns to the client the port number it has selected to listen on, so that the client knows how to connect to it.

Once the client knows that, it can then successfully create the data channel and continue.

More details are available in the RFC: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt

C pass int array pointer as parameter into a function

Maybe you were trying to do this?

#include <stdio.h>

int func(int * B){

    /* B + OFFSET = 5 () You are pointing to the same region as B[OFFSET] */
    *(B + 2) = 5;
}

int main(void) {

    int B[10];

    func(B);

    /* Let's say you edited only 2 and you want to show it. */
    printf("b[0] = %d\n\n", B[2]);

    return 0;
}

CodeIgniter removing index.php from url

if all the above solution not work then in your project folder their will be two files index.html and index.php, rename index.html to index_1.html and browse your project.

Visual Studio 2010 always thinks project is out of date, but nothing has changed

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Professional with Update 4 but didn't find resolution with any of the other suggestions, however, I did manage to resolve the issue for my Team project.

Here's what I did to cause the problem -

  • Created a new class object (Project -> Add Class)
  • Renamed the file via Solution Explorer and clicked yes when asked if I wanted to automatically rename all references to match

Here's what I did to solve the problem -

  • Go to Team Explorer Home
  • Click Source Control Explorer
  • Drill into the folder where all of the class/project files are
  • Found the ORIGINAL filename in the list and deleted it via right-click
  • Build

If this is the case for you then just be extra sure that you're deleting the phantom file rather than the actual one you want to keep in the project.

Pandas: rolling mean by time interval

visualize the rolling averages to see if it makes sense. I don't understand why sum was used when the rolling average was requested.

  df=pd.read_csv('poll.csv',parse_dates=['enddate'],dtype={'favorable':np.float,'unfavorable':np.float,'other':np.float})

  df.set_index('enddate')
  df=df.fillna(0)

 fig, axs = plt.subplots(figsize=(5,10))
 df.plot(x='enddate', ax=axs)
 plt.show()


 df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=3).mean().plot()
 plt.show()
 print("The larger the window coefficient the smoother the line will appear")
 print('The min_periods is the minimum number of observations in the window required to have a value')

 df.rolling(window=6,min_periods=3).mean().plot()
 plt.show()

how to define ssh private key for servers fetched by dynamic inventory in files

The best solution I could find for this problem is to specify private key file in ansible.cfg (I usually keep it in the same folder as a playbook):

[defaults]
inventory=ec2.py
vault_password_file = ~/.vault_pass.txt
host_key_checking = False
private_key_file = /Users/eric/.ssh/secret_key_rsa

Though, it still sets private key globally for all hosts in playbook.

Note: You have to specify full path to the key file - ~user/.ssh/some_key_rsa silently ignored.

Add a linebreak in an HTML text area

You could use \r\n, or System.Environment.NewLine.

Is there any way to do HTTP PUT in python

You can use the requests library, it simplifies things a lot in comparison to taking the urllib2 approach. First install it from pip:

pip install requests

More on installing requests.

Then setup the put request:

import requests
import json
url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'
payload = {'some': 'data'}

# Create your header as required
headers = {"content-type": "application/json", "Authorization": "<auth-key>" }

r = requests.put(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

See the quickstart for requests library. I think this is a lot simpler than urllib2 but does require this additional package to be installed and imported.

How to add a Browse To File dialog to a VB.NET application

You're looking for the OpenFileDialog class.

For example:

Sub SomeButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles SomeButton.Click
    Using dialog As New OpenFileDialog
        If dialog.ShowDialog() <> DialogResult.OK Then Return
        File.Copy(dialog.FileName, newPath)
    End Using
End Sub

Adding images to an HTML document with javascript

Things to ponder:

  1. Use jquery
  2. Which this is your code refering to
  3. Isnt getElementById usually document.getElementById?
  4. If the image is not found, are you sure your browser would tell you?

How do I revert my changes to a git submodule?

If you want to do this for all submodules, without having to change directories, you can perform

git submodule foreach git reset --hard

You can also use the recursive flag to apply to all submodules:

git submodule foreach --recursive git reset --hard

Replace only text inside a div using jquery

Another approach is keep that element, change the text, then append that element back

const star_icon = $(li).find('.stars svg')
$(li).find('.stars').text(repo.stargazers_count).append(star_icon)

Drag and drop menuitems

jQuery UI draggable and droppable are the two plugins I would use to achieve this effect. As for the insertion marker, I would investigate modifying the div (or container) element that was about to have content dropped into it. It should be possible to modify the border in some way or add a JavaScript/jQuery listener that listens for the hover (element about to be dropped) event and modifies the border or adds an image of the insertion marker in the right place.

How to parse month full form string using DateFormat in Java?

You are probably using a locale where the month names are not "January", "February", etc. but some other words in your local language.

Try specifying the locale you wish to use, for example Locale.US:

DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy", Locale.US);
Date d = fmt.parse("June 27,  2007");

Also, you have an extra space in the date string, but actually this has no effect on the result. It works either way.

How to find minimum value from vector?

template <class ForwardIterator>
ForwardIterator min_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last )
{
    ForwardIterator lowest = first;
    if (first == last) return last;
    while (++first != last)
    if (*first < *lowest) 
        lowest = first;
    return lowest;
}

Sql script to find invalid email addresses

I find this simple T-SQL query useful for returning valid e-mail addresses

SELECT email
FROM People
WHERE email LIKE '%_@__%.__%' 
    AND PATINDEX('%[^a-z,0-9,@,.,_]%', REPLACE(email, '-', 'a')) = 0

The PATINDEX bit eliminates all e-mail addresses containing characters that are not in the allowed a-z, 0-9, '@', '.', '_' & '-' set of characters.

It can be reversed to do what you want like this:

SELECT email
FROM People
WHERE NOT (email LIKE '%_@__%.__%' 
    AND PATINDEX('%[^a-z,0-9,@,.,_]%', REPLACE(email, '-', 'a')) = 0)

How to calculate UILabel height dynamically?

Copy & paste this method & used It like:

[lblText setFrame:CGRectMake(lblText.frame.origin.x, lblText.frame.origin.y, width, [self getLabelHeight:lblText])];

 - (CGFloat)getLabelHeight:(UILabel*)label
    {
        CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(label.frame.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX);
        CGSize size;

        NSStringDrawingContext *context = [[NSStringDrawingContext alloc] init];
        CGSize boundingBox = [label.text boundingRectWithSize:constraint
                                                      options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                                                   attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:label.font}
                                                      context:context].size;

        size = CGSizeMake(ceil(boundingBox.width), ceil(boundingBox.height));

        return size.height;
    }

How line ending conversions work with git core.autocrlf between different operating systems

The best explanation of how core.autocrlf works is found on the gitattributes man page, in the text attribute section.

This is how core.autocrlf appears to work currently (or at least since v1.7.2 from what I am aware):

  • core.autocrlf = true
  1. Text files checked-out from the repository that have only LF characters are normalized to CRLF in your working tree; files that contain CRLF in the repository will not be touched
  2. Text files that have only LF characters in the repository, are normalized from CRLF to LF when committed back to the repository. Files that contain CRLF in the repository will be committed untouched.
  • core.autocrlf = input
  1. Text files checked-out from the repository will keep original EOL characters in your working tree.
  2. Text files in your working tree with CRLF characters are normalized to LF when committed back to the repository.
  • core.autocrlf = false
  1. core.eol dictates EOL characters in the text files of your working tree.
  2. core.eol = native by default, which means Windows EOLs are CRLF and *nix EOLs are LF in working trees.
  3. Repository gitattributes settings determines EOL character normalization for commits to the repository (default is normalization to LF characters).

I've only just recently researched this issue and I also find the situation to be very convoluted. The core.eol setting definitely helped clarify how EOL characters are handled by git.

Differences between dependencyManagement and dependencies in Maven

In the parent POM, the main difference between the <dependencies> and <dependencyManagement> is this:

Artifacts specified in the <dependencies> section will ALWAYS be included as a dependency of the child module(s).

Artifacts specified in the <dependencyManagement> section will only be included in the child module if they were also specified in the section of the child module itself. Why is it good you ask? because you specify the version and/or scope in the parent, and you can leave them out when specifying the dependencies in the child POM. This can help you use unified versions for dependencies for child modules, without specifying the version in each child module.

TSQL PIVOT MULTIPLE COLUMNS

Since you want to pivot multiple columns of data, I would first suggest unpivoting the result, score and grade columns so you don't have multiple columns but you will have multiple rows.

Depending on your version of SQL Server you can use the UNPIVOT function or CROSS APPLY. The syntax to unpivot the data will be similar to:

select ratio, col, value
from GRAND_TOTALS
cross apply
(
  select 'result', cast(result as varchar(10)) union all
  select 'score', cast(score as varchar(10)) union all
  select 'grade', grade
) c(col, value)

See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Once the data has been unpivoted, then you can apply the PIVOT function:

select ratio = col,
  [current ratio], [gearing ratio], [performance ratio], total
from
(
  select ratio, col, value
  from GRAND_TOTALS
  cross apply
  (
    select 'result', cast(result as varchar(10)) union all
    select 'score', cast(score as varchar(10)) union all
    select 'grade', grade
  ) c(col, value)
) d
pivot
(
  max(value)
  for ratio in ([current ratio], [gearing ratio], [performance ratio], total)
) piv;

See SQL Fiddle with Demo. This will give you the result:

|  RATIO | CURRENT RATIO | GEARING RATIO | PERFORMANCE RATIO |     TOTAL |
|--------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|-----------|
|  grade |          Good |          Good |      Satisfactory |      Good |
| result |       1.29400 |       0.33840 |           0.04270 |    (null) |
|  score |      60.00000 |      70.00000 |          50.00000 | 180.00000 |

How to use su command over adb shell?

Well, if your phone is rooted you can run commands with the su -c command.

Here is an example of a cat command on the build.prop file to get a phone's product information.

adb shell "su -c 'cat /system/build.prop |grep "product"'"

This invokes root permission and runs the command inside the ' '.

Notice the 5 end quotes, that is required that you close ALL your end quotes or you will get an error.

For clarification the format is like this.

adb shell "su -c '[your command goes here]'"

Make sure you enter the command EXACTLY the way that you normally would when running it in shell.

exclude @Component from @ComponentScan

In case you need to define two or more excludeFilters criteria, you have to use the array.

For instances in this section of code I want to exclude all the classes in the org.xxx.yyy package and another specific class, MyClassToExclude

 @ComponentScan(            
        excludeFilters = {
                @ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.REGEX, pattern = "org.xxx.yyy.*"),
                @ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, value = MyClassToExclude.class) })

Materialize CSS - Select Doesn't Seem to Render

Call the materialize css jquery code only after the html has rendered. So you can have a controller and then fire a service which calls the jquery code in the controller. This will render the select button alright. How ever if you try to use ngChange or ngSubmit it may not work due to the dynamic styling of the select tag.

javascript toISOString() ignores timezone offset

Moment js solution to this is

var d = new Date(new Date().setHours(0,0,0,0));
m.add(m.utcOffset(), 'm')
m.toDate().toISOString()
// output "2019-07-18T00:00:00.000Z"

Convert String to Calendar Object in Java

tl;dr

The modern approach uses the java.time classes.

YearMonth.from(
    ZonedDateTime.parse( 
        "Mon Mar 14 16:02:37 GMT 2011" , 
        DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "E MMM d HH:mm:ss z uuuu" )
     )
).toString()

2011-03

Avoid legacy date-time classes

The modern way is with java.time classes. The old date-time classes such as Calendar have proven to be poorly-designed, confusing, and troublesome.

Define a custom formatter to match your string input.

String input = "Mon Mar 14 16:02:37 GMT 2011";
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "E MMM d HH:mm:ss z uuuu" );

Parse as a ZonedDateTime.

ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse( input , f );

You are interested in the year and month. The java.time classes include YearMonth class for that purpose.

YearMonth ym = YearMonth.from( zdt );

You can interrogate for the year and month numbers if needed.

int year = ym.getYear();
int month = ym.getMonthValue();

But the toString method generates a string in standard ISO 8601 format.

String output = ym.toString();

Put this all together.

String input = "Mon Mar 14 16:02:37 GMT 2011";
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "E MMM d HH:mm:ss z uuuu" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse( input , f );
YearMonth ym = YearMonth.from( zdt );
int year = ym.getYear();

Conversion

If you must have a Calendar object, you can convert to a GregorianCalendar using new methods added to the old classes.

GregorianCalendar gc = GregorianCalendar.from( zdt );

About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to java.time.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

  • Java SE 8 and SE 9 and later
    • Built-in.
    • Part of the standard Java API with a bundled implementation.
    • Java 9 adds some minor features and fixes.
  • Java SE 6 and SE 7
    • Much of the java.time functionality is back-ported to Java 6 & 7 in ThreeTen-Backport.
  • Android

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

for each loop in Objective-C for accessing NSMutable dictionary

The easiest way to enumerate a dictionary is

for (NSString *key in tDictionary.keyEnumerator) 
{
    //do something here;
}

where tDictionary is the NSDictionary or NSMutableDictionary you want to iterate.

JSON find in JavaScript

General Solution

We use object-scan for a lot of data processing. It has some nice properties, especially traversing in delete safe order. Here is how one could implement find, delete and replace for your question.

_x000D_
_x000D_
// const objectScan = require('object-scan');

const tool = (() => {
  const scanner = objectScan(['[*]'], {
    abort: true,
    rtn: 'bool',
    filterFn: ({
      value, parent, property, context
    }) => {
      if (value.id === context.id) {
        context.fn({ value, parent, property });
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    }
  });
  return {
    add: (data, id, obj) => scanner(data, { id, fn: ({ parent, property }) => parent.splice(property + 1, 0, obj) }),
    del: (data, id) => scanner(data, { id, fn: ({ parent, property }) => parent.splice(property, 1) }),
    mod: (data, id, prop, v = undefined) => scanner(data, {
      id,
      fn: ({ value }) => {
        if (value !== undefined) {
          value[prop] = v;
        } else {
          delete value[prop];
        }
      }
    })
  };
})();

// -------------------------------

const data = [ { id: 'one', pId: 'foo1', cId: 'bar1' }, { id: 'three', pId: 'foo3', cId: 'bar3' } ];
const toAdd = { id: 'two', pId: 'foo2', cId: 'bar2' };

const exec = (fn) => {
  console.log('---------------');
  console.log(fn.toString());
  console.log(fn());
  console.log(data);
};

exec(() => tool.add(data, 'one', toAdd));
exec(() => tool.mod(data, 'one', 'pId', 'zzz'));
exec(() => tool.mod(data, 'one', 'other', 'test'));
exec(() => tool.mod(data, 'one', 'gone', 'delete me'));
exec(() => tool.mod(data, 'one', 'gone'));
exec(() => tool.del(data, 'three'));

// => ---------------

Where is SQL Server Management Studio 2012?

I downloaded it from here (named 'Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools'). In this version you will get a Visual Studio 2012 installation with the functionality to manage the SQL Server 2012 server.

Using Laravel Homestead: 'no input file specified'

Older versions of Homestead maps folders in ~/Code to say for example by default ~/Code/laravel/public. Notice the case capitalisations in ~/Code. These are case sensitive. New versions use lower case ~/code. Update these directories in your Homestead.yaml according to your actual directories.

TL;DR;

Update ~/Code to ~/code or vice versa depending on your actual directory names.

Hashing a string with Sha256

I also had this problem with another style of implementation but I forgot where I got it since it was 2 years ago.

static string sha256(string randomString)
{
    var crypt = new SHA256Managed();
    string hash = String.Empty;
    byte[] crypto = crypt.ComputeHash(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(randomString));
    foreach (byte theByte in crypto)
    {
        hash += theByte.ToString("x2");
    }
    return hash;
}

When I input something like abcdefghi2013 for some reason it gives different results and results in errors in my login module. Then I tried modifying the code the same way as suggested by Quuxplusone and changed the encoding from ASCII to UTF8 then it finally worked!

static string sha256(string randomString)
{
    var crypt = new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256Managed();
    var hash = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    byte[] crypto = crypt.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(randomString));
    foreach (byte theByte in crypto)
    {
        hash.Append(theByte.ToString("x2"));
    }
    return hash.ToString();
}

Thanks again Quuxplusone for the wonderful and detailed answer! :)

Passing data between view controllers

Using Notification Center

For Swift 3

let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

// Post a notification
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict)
// `default` is now a property, not a method call

// Register to receive notification in your class
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)

// Handle notification
func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {
    print(notification.userInfo ?? "")
    if let dict = notification.userInfo as NSDictionary? {
        if let id = dict["image"] as? UIImage {
            // Do something with your image
        }
    }
}

For Swift 4

let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

// Post a notification
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict)
// `default` is now a property, not a method call

// Register to receive notification in your class
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)

// Handle notification
@objc func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {
    print(notification.userInfo ?? "")
    if let dict = notification.userInfo as NSDictionary? {
        if let id = dict["image"] as? UIImage {
            // Do something with your image
        }
    }
}

receiving json and deserializing as List of object at spring mvc controller

Here is the code that works for me. The key is that you need a wrapper class.

public class Person {

    private String name;
    private Integer age;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Integer getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(Integer age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Person [name=" + name + ", age=" + age + "]";
    }

A PersonWrapper class

public class PersonWrapper {

    private List<Person> persons;

    /**
     * @return the persons
     */
    public List<Person> getPersons() {
        return persons;
    }

    /**
     * @param persons the persons to set
     */
    public void setPersons(List<Person> persons) {
        this.persons = persons;
    }
}

My Controller methods

@RequestMapping(value="person", method=RequestMethod.POST,consumes="application/json",produces="application/json")
    @ResponseBody
    public List<String> savePerson(@RequestBody PersonWrapper wrapper) {
        List<String> response = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (Person person: wrapper.getPersons()){
        personService.save(person);
         response.add("Saved person: " + person.toString());
    }
        return response;
    }

The request sent is json in POST

{"persons":[{"name":"shail1","age":"2"},{"name":"shail2","age":"3"}]}

And the response is

["Saved person: Person [name=shail1, age=2]","Saved person: Person [name=shail2, age=3]"]

Retrofit 2.0 how to get deserialised error response.body

ErrorResponse is your custom response object

Kotlin

val gson = Gson()
val type = object : TypeToken<ErrorResponse>() {}.type
var errorResponse: ErrorResponse? = gson.fromJson(response.errorBody()!!.charStream(), type)

Java

Gson gson = new Gson();
Type type = new TypeToken<ErrorResponse>() {}.getType();
ErrorResponse errorResponse = gson.fromJson(response.errorBody.charStream(),type);

Read/write to file using jQuery

Cookies are your best bet. Look for the jquery cookie plugin.

Cookies are designed for this sort of situation -- you want to keep some information about this client on client side. Just be aware that cookies are passed back and forth on every web request so you can't store large amounts of data in there. But just a simple answer to a question should be fine.

dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 3; 2 is required

One of the fast ways to create a dict from equal-length tuples:

>>> t1 = (a,b,c,d)
>>> t2 = (1,2,3,4)
>>> dict(zip(t1, t2))
{'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3, 'd':4, }

How can I get the Google cache age of any URL or web page?

You'll need to scrape the resulting page, but you can view the most recent cache page using this URL:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.something.com/path

Google information is put in the first div in the body tag.

How do I set the time zone of MySQL?

On Windows (IIS) in order to be able to SET GLOBAL time_zone = 'Europe/Helsinki' (or whatever) the MySQL time_zone description tables need to be populated first.

I downloaded these from this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/timezones.html

After running the downloaded SQL query I was able to set the GLOBAL time_zone and resolve the issue I had where SELECT NOW(); was returning GMT rather than BST.

How do I create a Python function with optional arguments?

Just use the *args parameter, which allows you to pass as many arguments as you want after your a,b,c. You would have to add some logic to map args->c,d,e,f but its a "way" of overloading.

def myfunc(a,b, *args, **kwargs):
   for ar in args:
      print ar
myfunc(a,b,c,d,e,f)

And it will print values of c,d,e,f


Similarly you could use the kwargs argument and then you could name your parameters.

def myfunc(a,b, *args, **kwargs):
      c = kwargs.get('c', None)
      d = kwargs.get('d', None)
      #etc
myfunc(a,b, c='nick', d='dog', ...)

And then kwargs would have a dictionary of all the parameters that are key valued after a,b

Setting values on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

This warning comes because your dataframe x is a copy of a slice. This is not easy to know why, but it has something to do with how you have come to the current state of it.

You can either create a proper dataframe out of x by doing

x = x.copy()

This will remove the warning, but it is not the proper way

You should be using the DataFrame.loc method, as the warning suggests, like this:

x.loc[:,'Mass32s'] = pandas.rolling_mean(x.Mass32, 5).shift(-2)

Can I get all methods of a class?

public static Method[] getAccessibleMethods(Class clazz) {
    List<Method> result = new ArrayList<Method>();
    while (clazz != null) {
        for (Method method : clazz.getDeclaredMethods()) {
            int modifiers = method.getModifiers();
            if (Modifier.isPublic(modifiers) || Modifier.isProtected(modifiers)) {
                result.add(method);
            }
        }
        clazz = clazz.getSuperclass();
    }
    return result.toArray(new Method[result.size()]);
}

Can enums be subclassed to add new elements?

Based on @Tom Hawtin - tackline answer we add switch support,

interface Day<T> {
    ...
  T valueOf();
}

public enum Weekday implements Day<Weekday> {
    MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI;
   Weekday valueOf(){
     return valueOf(name());
   }
}

public enum WeekendDay implements Day<WeekendDay> {
    SAT, SUN;
   WeekendDay valueOf(){
     return valueOf(name());
   }
}

Day<Weekday> wds = Weekday.MON;
Day<WeekendDay> wends = WeekendDay.SUN;

switch(wds.valueOf()){
    case MON:
    case TUE:
    case WED:
    case THU:
    case FRI:
}

switch(wends.valueOf()){
    case SAT:
    case SUN:
}

Multiple actions were found that match the request in Web Api

Your route map is probably something like this:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "API Default",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });

But in order to have multiple actions with the same http method you need to provide webapi with more information via the route like so:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "API Default",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });

Notice that the routeTemplate now includes an action. Lots more info here: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/routing-in-aspnet-web-api

Update:

Alright, now that I think I understand what you are after here is another take at this:

Perhaps you don't need the action url parameter and should describe the contents that you are after in another way. Since you are saying that the methods are returning data from the same entity then just let the parameters do the describing for you.

For example your two methods could be turned into:

public HttpResponseMessage Get()
{
    return null;
}

public HttpResponseMessage Get(MyVm vm)
{
    return null;
}

What kind of data are you passing in the MyVm object? If you are able to just pass variables through the URI, I would suggest going that route. Otherwise, you'll need to send the object in the body of the request and that isn't very HTTP of you when doing a GET (it works though, just use [FromBody] infront of MyVm).

Hopefully this illustrates that you can have multiple GET methods in a single controller without using the action name or even the [HttpGet] attribute.

How to print from Flask @app.route to python console

We can also use logging to print data on the console.

Example:

import logging
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/print')
def printMsg():
    app.logger.warning('testing warning log')
    app.logger.error('testing error log')
    app.logger.info('testing info log')
    return "Check your console"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

Fragments onResume from back stack

After a popStackBack() you can use the following callback : onHiddenChanged(boolean hidden) within your fragment

Copy map values to vector in STL

Here is what I would do.
Also I would use a template function to make the construction of select2nd easier.

#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <memory>
#include <string>

/*
 * A class to extract the second part of a pair
 */   
template<typename T>
struct select2nd
{
    typename T::second_type operator()(T const& value) const
    {return value.second;}
};

/*
 * A utility template function to make the use of select2nd easy.
 * Pass a map and it automatically creates a select2nd that utilizes the
 * value type. This works nicely as the template functions can deduce the
 * template parameters based on the function parameters. 
 */
template<typename T>
select2nd<typename T::value_type> make_select2nd(T const& m)
{
    return select2nd<typename T::value_type>();
}

int main()
{
    std::map<int,std::string>   m;
    std::vector<std::string>    v;

    /*
     * Please note: You must use std::back_inserter()
     *              As transform assumes the second range is as large as the first.
     *              Alternatively you could pre-populate the vector.
     *
     * Use make_select2nd() to make the function look nice.
     * Alternatively you could use:
     *    select2nd<std::map<int,std::string>::value_type>()
     */   
    std::transform(m.begin(),m.end(),
                   std::back_inserter(v),
                   make_select2nd(m)
                  );
}

Laravel Eloquent inner join with multiple conditions

You can see the following code to solved the problem

return $query->join('kg_shops', function($join)
{
    $join->on('kg_shops.id', '=', 'kg_feeds.shop_id');
    $join->where('kg_shops.active','=', 1);
});

Or another way to solved it

 return $query->join('kg_shops', function($join)
{
    $join->on('kg_shops.id', '=', 'kg_feeds.shop_id');
    $join->on('kg_shops.active','=', DB::raw('1'));
});

How do I create a pause/wait function using Qt?

This previous question mentions using qSleep() which is in the QtTest module. To avoid the overhead linking in the QtTest module, looking at the source for that function you could just make your own copy and call it. It uses defines to call either Windows Sleep() or Linux nanosleep().

#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
#include <windows.h> // for Sleep
#endif
void QTest::qSleep(int ms)
{
    QTEST_ASSERT(ms > 0);

#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
    Sleep(uint(ms));
#else
    struct timespec ts = { ms / 1000, (ms % 1000) * 1000 * 1000 };
    nanosleep(&ts, NULL);
#endif
}

Loading scripts after page load?

So, there's no way that this works:

window.onload = function(){
  <script language="JavaScript" src="http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest"></script>
};

You can't freely drop HTML into the middle of javascript.


If you have jQuery, you can just use:

$.getScript("http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest")

whenever you want. If you want to make sure the document has finished loading, you can do this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.getScript("http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest");
});

In plain javascript, you can load a script dynamically at any time you want to like this:

var tag = document.createElement("script");
tag.src = "http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(tag);

How to add a bot to a Telegram Group?

Another way :

change BOT_USER_NAME before use

How to permanently remove few commits from remote branch

Simplifying from pctroll's answer, similarly based on this blog post.

# look up the commit id in git log or on github, e.g. 42480f3, then do
git checkout master
git checkout your_branch
git revert 42480f3
# a text editor will open, close it with ctrl+x (editor dependent)
git push origin your_branch
# or replace origin with your remote

How to check whether an object has certain method/property?

You could write something like that :

public static bool HasMethod(this object objectToCheck, string methodName)
{
    var type = objectToCheck.GetType();
    return type.GetMethod(methodName) != null;
} 

Edit : you can even do an extension method and use it like this

myObject.HasMethod("SomeMethod");

Xcode : Adding a project as a build dependency

Today I faced with the same problem. As the result of the first run I got next error:

Lexical or Preprocessor Issue: 'SDKProjectName*/*SDKProjectName.h' file not found.

But before running, I, obviously, added my SDK into the demo project, just drag&drop .xcodeproj file into my test project's source tree. After that, I moved into Build Phases tab in setting of the main xcodeproj file (of the demo) and added my SDK as target dependency and embed framework into corresponding tabs.

But at the result, I got an error above!

So, the problem was into empty line on the Header Search Paths option. I just wrote "../**" as value for this key and project compiled successfully. So, after that, you can add #include <SDKName/SDKName.h> into any project, which includes this SDK.

ps. My test app was created into root SDK folder.

SecurityError: Blocked a frame with origin from accessing a cross-origin frame

How can I set / change DNS using the command-prompt at windows 8

Now you can change the primary dns (index=1), assuming that your interface is static (not using dhcp)

You can set your DNS servers statically even if you use DHCP to obtain your IP address.

Example under Windows 7 to add two DN servers, the command is as follows:

netsh interface ipv4 add dns "Local Area Connection" address=192.168.x.x index=1 netsh interface ipv4 add dns "Local Area Connection" address=192.168.x.x index=2

Background service with location listener in android

First you need to create a Service. In that Service, create a class extending LocationListener. For this, use the following code snippet of Service:

public class LocationService extends Service {
public static final String BROADCAST_ACTION = "Hello World";
private static final int TWO_MINUTES = 1000 * 60 * 2;
public LocationManager locationManager;
public MyLocationListener listener;
public Location previousBestLocation = null;

Intent intent;
int counter = 0;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    intent = new Intent(BROADCAST_ACTION);
}

@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
    locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    listener = new MyLocationListener();
    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        return;
    }
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 4000, 0, (LocationListener) listener);
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 4000, 0, listener);
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
    return null;
}

protected boolean isBetterLocation(Location location, Location currentBestLocation) {
    if (currentBestLocation == null) {
        // A new location is always better than no location
        return true;
    }

    // Check whether the new location fix is newer or older
    long timeDelta = location.getTime() - currentBestLocation.getTime();
    boolean isSignificantlyNewer = timeDelta > TWO_MINUTES;
    boolean isSignificantlyOlder = timeDelta < -TWO_MINUTES;
    boolean isNewer = timeDelta > 0;

    // If it's been more than two minutes since the current location, use the new location
    // because the user has likely moved
    if (isSignificantlyNewer) {
        return true;
        // If the new location is more than two minutes older, it must be worse
    } else if (isSignificantlyOlder) {
        return false;
    }

    // Check whether the new location fix is more or less accurate
    int accuracyDelta = (int) (location.getAccuracy() - currentBestLocation.getAccuracy());

Setting width to wrap_content for TextView through code

I am posting android Java base multi line edittext.

EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.editText);/* edittext access */

ViewGroup.LayoutParams params  =  editText.getLayoutParams(); 
params.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
editText.setLayoutParams(params); /* Gives as much height for multi line*/

editText.setSingleLine(false); /* Makes it Multi line */

What is the difference between the HashMap and Map objects in Java?

HashMap<String, Object> map1 = new HashMap<String, Object>();
Map<String, Object> map2 = new HashMap<String, Object>();  

First of all Map is an interface it has different implementation like - HashMap, TreeHashMap, LinkedHashMap etc. Interface works like a super class for the implementing class. So according to OOP's rule any concrete class that implements Map is a Map also. That means we can assign/put any HashMap type variable to a Map type variable without any type of casting.

In this case we can assign map1 to map2 without any casting or any losing of data -

map2 = map1

JavaScript string encryption and decryption?

you can use those function it's so easy the First one for encryption so you just call the function and send the text you wanna encrypt it and take the result from encryptWithAES function and send it to decrypt Function like this:

const CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");


   //The Function Below To Encrypt Text
   const encryptWithAES = (text) => {
      const passphrase = "My Secret Passphrase";
      return CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(text, passphrase).toString();
    };
    //The Function Below To Decrypt Text
    const decryptWithAES = (ciphertext) => {
      const passphrase = "My Secret Passphrase";
      const bytes = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(ciphertext, passphrase);
      const originalText = bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
      return originalText;
    };

  let encryptText = encryptWithAES("YAZAN"); 
  //EncryptedText==>  //U2FsdGVkX19GgWeS66m0xxRUVxfpI60uVkWRedyU15I= 

  let decryptText = decryptWithAES(encryptText);
  //decryptText==>  //YAZAN

How can I reorder my divs using only CSS?

This can be done with CSS only!

Please check my answer to this similar question:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/25462829/1077230

I don't want to double post my answer but the short of it is that the parent needs to become a flexbox element. Eg:

(only using the webkit vendor prefix here.)

#main {
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: flex;
    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
    -webkit-flex-direction: column;
    flex-direction: column;
    -webkit-box-align: start;
    -webkit-align-items: flex-start;
    align-items: flex-start;
}

Then, swap divs around by indicating their order with:

#main > div#one{
    -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
    -ms-flex-order: 2;
    -webkit-order: 2;
    order: 2;
    overflow:visible;
}

#main > div#two{
    -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 1;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1;
    -ms-flex-order: 1;
    -webkit-order: 1;
    order: 1;
}

Curl GET request with json parameter

This should work :

  curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" 'server:5050/a/c/getName{"param0":"pradeep"}'

use option -i instead of x.

the best way to make codeigniter website multi-language. calling from lang arrays depends on lang session?

When managing the actual files, things can get out of sync pretty easily unless you're really vigilant. So we've launched a (beta) free service called String which allows you to keep track of your language files easily, and collaborate with translators.

You can either import existing language files (in PHP array, PHP Define, ini, po or .strings formats) or create your own sections from scratch and add content directly through the system.

String is totally free so please check it out and tell us what you think.

It's actually built on Codeigniter too! Check out the beta at http://mygengo.com/string

jQuery .css("margin-top", value) not updating in IE 8 (Standards mode)

try this method

$("your id or class name").css({ 'margin-top': '18px' });  

Vuejs and Vue.set(), update array

EDIT 2

  • For all object changes that need reactivity use Vue.set(object, prop, value)
  • For array mutations, you can look at the currently supported list here

EDIT 1

For vuex you will want to do Vue.set(state.object, key, value)


Original

So just for others who come to this question. It appears at some point in Vue 2.* they removed this.items.$set(index, val) in favor of this.$set(this.items, index, val).

Splice is still available and here is a link to array mutation methods available in vue link.

Applying function with multiple arguments to create a new pandas column

Alternatively, you can use numpy underlying function:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [10,20,30], "B": [20, 30, 10]})
>>> df['new_column'] = np.multiply(df['A'], df['B'])
>>> df
    A   B  new_column
0  10  20         200
1  20  30         600
2  30  10         300

or vectorize arbitrary function in general case:

>>> def fx(x, y):
...     return x*y
...
>>> df['new_column'] = np.vectorize(fx)(df['A'], df['B'])
>>> df
    A   B  new_column
0  10  20         200
1  20  30         600
2  30  10         300

Autoincrement VersionCode with gradle extra properties

Here comes a modernization of my previous answer which can be seen below. This one is running with Gradle 4.4 and Android Studio 3.1.1.

What this script does:

  • Creates a version.properties file if none exists (up vote Paul Cantrell's answer below, which is where I got the idea from if you like this answer)
  • For each build, debug release or any time you press the run button in Android Studio the VERSION_BUILD number increases.
  • Every time you assemble a release your Android versionCode for the play store increases and your patch number increases.
  • Bonus: After the build is done copies your apk to projectDir/apk to make it more accessible.

This script will create a version number which looks like v1.3.4 (123) and build an apk file like AppName-v1.3.4.apk.

Major version ?       ? Build version
             v1.3.4 (123)
  Minor version ^|^ Patch version

Major version: Has to be changed manually for bigger changes.

Minor version: Has to be changed manually for slightly less big changes.

Patch version: Increases when running gradle assembleRelease

Build version: Increases every build

Version Number: Same as Patch version, this is for the version code which Play Store needs to have increased for each new apk upload.

Just change the content in the comments labeled 1 - 3 below and the script should do the rest. :)

INITIAL ANSWER:

I want the versionName to increase automatically as well. So this is just an addition to the answer by CommonsWare which worked perfectly for me. This is what works for me

defaultConfig {
    versionCode code
    versionName "1.1." + code
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 18
}

EDIT:

As I am a bit lazy I want my versioning to work as automatically as possible. What I want is to have a Build Version that increases with each build, while the Version Number and Version Name only increases when I make a release build.

This is what I have been using for the past year, the basics are from CommonsWare's answer and my previous answer, plus some more. This results in the following versioning:

Version Name: 1.0.5 (123) --> Major.Minor.Patch (Build), Major and Minor are changed manually.

In build.gradle:

...
android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'
    def versionPropsFile = file('version.properties')
    if (versionPropsFile.canRead()) {
        def Properties versionProps = new Properties()

        versionProps.load(new FileInputStream(versionPropsFile))

        def value = 0

        def runTasks = gradle.startParameter.taskNames
        if ('assemble' in runTasks || 'assembleRelease' in runTasks || 'aR' in runTasks) {
            value = 1;
        }

        def versionMajor = 1
        def versionMinor = 0
        def versionPatch = versionProps['VERSION_PATCH'].toInteger() + value
        def versionBuild = versionProps['VERSION_BUILD'].toInteger() + 1
        def versionNumber = versionProps['VERSION_NUMBER'].toInteger() + value

        versionProps['VERSION_PATCH'] = versionPatch.toString()
        versionProps['VERSION_BUILD'] = versionBuild.toString()
        versionProps['VERSION_NUMBER'] = versionNumber.toString()

        versionProps.store(versionPropsFile.newWriter(), null)

        defaultConfig {
            versionCode versionNumber
            versionName "${versionMajor}.${versionMinor}.${versionPatch} (${versionBuild}) Release"
            minSdkVersion 14
            targetSdkVersion 23
        }

        applicationVariants.all { variant ->
            variant.outputs.each { output ->
                def fileNaming = "apk/RELEASES"
                variant.outputs.each { output ->
                    def outputFile = output.outputFile
                    if (outputFile != null && outputFile.name.endsWith('.apk')) {
                        output.outputFile = new File(getProject().getRootDir(), "${fileNaming}-${versionMajor}.${versionMinor}.${versionPatch}-${outputFile.name}")
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    } else {
        throw new GradleException("Could not read version.properties!")
    }

    ...
}

...

Patch and versionCode is increased if you assemble your project through the terminal with 'assemble', 'assembleRelease' or 'aR' which creates a new folder in your project root called apk/RELEASE so you don't have to look through build/outputs/more/more/more to find your apk.

Your version properties would need to look like this:

VERSION_NUMBER=1
VERSION_BUILD=645
VERSION_PATCH=1

Obviously start with 0. :)

Hook up Raspberry Pi via Ethernet to laptop without router?

Here are the instructions for Windows users on connecting to a RPi by using just an Ethernet cable and a DHCP server. There is no need for a cross over cable, as the RPi can handle it. I have a blog post that documents this with pictures here which may be easier to follow.

Downloads

Download the DHCP Server for Windows (download link is here). Unzip the zip file and open the dhcpwiz application, which will configure the DHCP server.

DHCP Server Configuration

Hit next on the first screen.

On the second screen, look for a "Local Area Connection" row and verify its IP address is 0.0.0.0 and its status is enabled. Connect the Ethernet cable from the RPi to your laptop, and turn on the Pi. Hit refresh on this screen until the IP address changes to 169.254.*.*. If it is anything else then you should alter your network settings for the Local Area Connection (make sure it is not a static IP/DNS). Click on this Local Area Connection row and hit next.

Check HTTP (Web Server). This makes it much more easy to locate the RPi's IP address. Hit Next.

Take the defaults and hit Next until you get to the Writing the INI file screen. Check Overwrite existing file and hit the Write INI file button. Then hit Next.

On the final screen, check Run DHCP server immediately and hit `Finish.

DHCP Server and Obtaining the IP Address of your Raspberry PI

This launches the actual DHCP server, using the configuration you just created in the previous wizard. Click the Continue as tray app button, and the DHCP server will be minimized to your system tray.

Anywhere from 1 second to 5 minutes from now you will see an alert on the system tray with your laptop and your RPi's new IP address. This alert is really quick and you will probably miss it. Normally your RPi's IP is 169.254.0.2, but it could be *.01 or even something else. It is easier to access the DHCP server's web UI at http://localhost/dhcpstatus.xml. This will list the hostname as "raspberrypi" with its IP address.

Now you can putty or remote desktop into your RPi, and configure its wireless settings or whatever you want to do.

Trouble shooting

This can be somewhat finicky. I've had my connection appear to drop and have been unable to SSH back in using the IP address. Normally, I can restart the Pi and get the IP address again. Sometimes I have to restart both the RPi and the DHCP server. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times. At one point when I wasn't getting a connection for 15 minutes, I copied all of the files in the dhcpsrv2.5.1 folder to a new folder and tried again; it immediately worked.

Type List vs type ArrayList in Java

It is considered good style to store a reference to a HashSet or TreeSet in a variable of type Set.

Set<String> names = new HashSet<String>();

This way, you have to change only one line if you decide to use a TreeSet instead.

Also, methods that operate on sets should specify parameters of type Set:

public static void print(Set<String> s)

Then the method can be used for all set implementations.

In theory, we should make the same recommendation for linked lists, namely to save LinkedList references in variables of type List. However, in the Java library, the List interface is common to both the ArrayList and the LinkedList class. In particular, it has get and set methods for random access, even though these methods are very inefficient for linked lists.

You can’t write efficient code if you don’t know whether random access is efficient or not.

This is plainly a serious design error in the standard library, and I cannot recommend using the List interface for that reason.

To see just how embarrassing that error is, have a look at the source code for the binarySearch method of the Collections class. That method takes a List parameter, but binary search makes no sense for a linked list. The code then clumsily tries to discover whether the list is a linked list, and then switches to a linear search!

The Set interface and the Map interface, are well designed, and you should use them.

How to "wait" a Thread in Android

You can try this one it is short :)

Android Activity without ActionBar

There are multiple ways of doing this.

1) Change the theme in Android Manifest

Below the Application element, you will find theme tag. Replace it with this one -

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"

If you are using AppCompat, use @android:style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar.

This will set the theme for all activities. If you don't need the action bar in a specific acitivity, then set the theme in the activity container, ie

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" ...>

You may also set android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" theme in the styles and use it later on.


2) Create a Custom Theme

Add this in res/values/styles.xml

<style name="NoActionBar" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
     <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
     <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

and then set it as your activity's theme in Manifest:

<activity android:theme="@style/NoActionBar" ... />

3) Dynamically Remove the Action Bar

Put this code in the onCreate method before setting content view -

getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
getActionBar().hide();

If you are using the support library use getSupportActionBar().

Sorting objects by property values

Example.

This runs on cscript.exe, on windows.

// define the Car class
(function() {
    // makeClass - By John Resig (MIT Licensed)
    // Allows either new User() or User() to be employed for construction.
    function makeClass(){
        return function(args){
            if ( this instanceof arguments.callee ) {
                if ( typeof this.init == "function" )
                    this.init.apply( this, (args && args.callee) ? args : arguments );
            } else
                return new arguments.callee( arguments );
        };
    }

    Car = makeClass();

    Car.prototype.init = function(make, model, price, topSpeed, weight) {
        this.make = make;
        this.model = model;
        this.price = price;
        this.weight = weight;
        this.topSpeed = topSpeed;
    };
})();


// create a list of cars
var autos = [
    new Car("Chevy", "Corvair", 1800, 88, 2900),
    new Car("Buick", "LeSabre", 31000, 138, 3700),
    new Car("Toyota", "Prius", 24000, 103, 3200),
    new Car("Porsche", "911", 92000, 155, 3100),
    new Car("Mercedes", "E500", 67000, 145, 3800),
    new Car("VW", "Passat", 31000, 135, 3700)
];

// a list of sorting functions
var sorters = {
    byWeight : function(a,b) {
        return (a.weight - b.weight);
    },
    bySpeed : function(a,b) {
        return (a.topSpeed - b.topSpeed);
    },
    byPrice : function(a,b) {
        return (a.price - b.price);
    },
    byModelName : function(a,b) {
        return ((a.model < b.model) ? -1 : ((a.model > b.model) ? 1 : 0));
    },
    byMake : function(a,b) {
        return ((a.make < b.make) ? -1 : ((a.make > b.make) ? 1 : 0));
    }
};

function say(s) {WScript.Echo(s);}

function show(title)
{
    say ("sorted by: "+title);
    for (var i=0; i < autos.length; i++) {
        say("  " + autos[i].model);
    }
    say(" ");
}

autos.sort(sorters.byWeight);
show("Weight");

autos.sort(sorters.byModelName);
show("Name");

autos.sort(sorters.byPrice);
show("Price");

You can also make a general sorter.

var byProperty = function(prop) {
    return function(a,b) {
        if (typeof a[prop] == "number") {
            return (a[prop] - b[prop]);
        } else {
            return ((a[prop] < b[prop]) ? -1 : ((a[prop] > b[prop]) ? 1 : 0));
        }
    };
};

autos.sort(byProperty("topSpeed"));
show("Top Speed");

Daylight saving time and time zone best practices

When it comes to applications that run on a server, including web sites and other back-end services, the time zone setting of the server should be ignored by the application.

The common advice is to set the server's time zone to UTC. This is indeed a good best practice, but it's there as a band-aid for applications that do not follow other best practices. For example, a service might be writing to log files with local timestamps instead of UTC-based timestamps, thus creating ambiguities during the daylight saving time fall-back transition. Setting the server's time zone to UTC will fix that application. However the real fix would be for the application to log using UTC to begin with.

Server-side code, including web sites, should never expect the local time zone of the server to be anything in particular.

In some languages, the local time zone can easily creep in to application code. For example, the DateTime.ToUniversalTime method in .NET will convert from the local time zone to UTC, and the DateTime.Now property returns the current time in the local time zone. Also, the Date constructor in JavaScript uses the computer's local time zone. There are many other examples like this. It is important to practice defensive programming, avoiding any code that uses the computer's local time zone setting.

Reserve using the local time zone for client-side code, such as desktop applications, mobile applications, and client-side JavaScript.

Disabling user input for UITextfield in swift

In storyboard you have two choise:

  1. set the control's 'enable' to false.

enter image description here

  1. set the view's 'user interaction enable' false

enter image description here

The diffierence between these choise is:

the appearance of UITextfild to display in the screen.

enter image description here

  1. First is set the control's enable. You can see the backgroud color is changed.
  2. Second is set the view's 'User interaction enable'. The backgroud color is NOT changed.

Within code:

  1. textfield.enable = false
  2. textfield.userInteractionEnabled = NO

    Updated for Swift 3

    1. textField.isEnabled = false
    2. textfield.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

if else condition in blade file (laravel 5.3)

I think you are putting one too many curly brackets. Try this

 @if($user->status=='waiting')
            <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{!! $user->travel_id !!}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject</a> </td>
            @else
            <td>{!! $user->status !!}</td>
        @endif

What is sr-only in Bootstrap 3?

How to add an element to the beginning of an OrderedDict?

I got an infinity loop while trying to print or save the dictionary using @Ashwini Chaudhary answer with Python 2.7. But I managed to reduce his code a little, and got it working here:

def move_to_dict_beginning(dictionary, key):
    """
        Move a OrderedDict item to its beginning, or add it to its beginning.
        Compatible with Python 2.7
    """

    if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
        value = dictionary[key]
        del dictionary[key]
        root = dictionary._OrderedDict__root

        first = root[1]
        root[1] = first[0] = dictionary._OrderedDict__map[key] = [root, first, key]
        dict.__setitem__(dictionary, key, value)

    else:
        dictionary.move_to_end( key, last=False )

What is the 'realtime' process priority setting for?

It would be the highest available priority setting, and would usually only be used on box that was dedicated to running that specific program. It's actually high enough that it could cause starvation of the keyboard and mouse threads to the extent that they become unresponsive.

So basicly, if you have to ask, don't use it :)

max value of integer

In C range for __int32 is –2147483648 to 2147483647. See here for full ranges.

unsigned short 0 to 65535
signed short –32768 to 32767
unsigned long 0 to 4294967295
signed long –2147483648 to 2147483647

There are no guarantees that an 'int' will be 32 bits, if you want to use variables of a specific size, particularly when writing code that involves bit manipulations, you should use the 'Standard Integer Types'.

In Java

The int data type is a 32-bit signed two's complement integer. It has a minimum value of -2,147,483,648 and a maximum value of 2,147,483,647 (inclusive).

Using 'make' on OS X

If you've installed Xcode 4.3 and its Command Line Tools, just open Terminal and type the following: On Xcode 4.3, type the following in Terminal:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin

Python 3 - ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

Since unpaidMembers is a dictionary it always returns two values when called with .items() - (key, value). You may want to keep your data as a list of tuples [(name, email, lastname), (name, email, lastname)..].

Why do people write #!/usr/bin/env python on the first line of a Python script?

It probably makes sense to emphasize one thing that the most have missed, which may prevent immediate understanding. When you type python in terminal you don't normally provide a full path. Instead, the executable is up looked in PATH environment variable. In turn, when you want to execute a Python program directly, /path/to/app.py, one must tell the shell what interpreter to use (via the hashbang, what the other contributors are explaining above).

Hashbang expects full path to an interpreter. Thus to run your Python program directly you have to provide full path to Python binary which varies significantly, especially considering a use of virtualenv. To address portability the trick with /usr/bin/env is used. The latter is originally intended to alter environment in-place and run a command in it. When no alteration is provided it runs the command in current environment, which effectively results in the same PATH lookup which does the trick.

List of encodings that Node.js supports

The encodings are spelled out in the buffer documentation.

Buffers and character encodings:

Character Encodings

  • utf8: Multi-byte encoded Unicode characters. Many web pages and other document formats use UTF-8. This is the default character encoding.
  • utf16le: Multi-byte encoded Unicode characters. Unlike utf8, each character in the string will be encoded using either 2 or 4 bytes.
  • latin1: Latin-1 stands for ISO-8859-1. This character encoding only supports the Unicode characters from U+0000 to U+00FF.

Binary-to-Text Encodings

  • base64: Base64 encoding. When creating a Buffer from a string, this encoding will also correctly accept "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet" as specified in RFC 4648, Section 5.
  • hex: Encode each byte as two hexadecimal characters.

Legacy Character Encodings

  • ascii: For 7-bit ASCII data only. Generally, there should be no reason to use this encoding, as 'utf8' (or, if the data is known to always be ASCII-only, 'latin1') will be a better choice when encoding or decoding ASCII-only text.
  • binary: Alias for 'latin1'.
  • ucs2: Alias of 'utf16le'.

how to remove multiple columns in r dataframe?

Adding answer as this was the top hit when searching for "drop multiple columns in r":

The general version of the single column removal, e.g df$column1 <- NULL, is to use list(NULL):

df[ ,c('column1', 'column2')] <- list(NULL)

This also works for position index as well:

df[ ,c(1,2)] <- list(NULL)

This is a more general drop and as some comments have mentioned, removing by indices isn't recommended. Plus the familiar negative subset (used in other answers) doesn't work for columns given as strings:

> iris[ ,-c("Species")]
Error in -"Species" : invalid argument to unary operator

Random date in C#

private Random gen = new Random();
DateTime RandomDay()
{
    DateTime start = new DateTime(1995, 1, 1);
    int range = (DateTime.Today - start).Days;           
    return start.AddDays(gen.Next(range));
}

For better performance if this will be called repeatedly, create the start and gen (and maybe even range) variables outside of the function.

Google drive limit number of download

Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time is an error message that you may get when you try to download files on Google Drive.

Bandwidth limits

Limit                          Per hour            Per day
Download via web client        750 MB              1250 MB
Upload via web client          300 MB              500 MB

The explanation for the error message is simple: while users are free to share files publicly, or with a large number of users, quotas are in effect that limit availability.

If too many users view or download a file, it may be locked for a 24 hour period before the quota is reset. The period that a file is locked may be shorter according to Google.

If a file is particularly popular, it may take days or even longer before you manage to download it to your computer or place it on your Drive storage.

It could be a solution:

  1. Locate the "uc" part of the address, and replace it with "open", so that the beginning of the URL reads * https:// drive.google.com/open?*

  2. Load the address again once you have replaced uc with open in the address.

  3. This loads a new screen with controls at the top.

  4. Click on the "add to my drive" icon at the top right.

  5. Click on "add to my drive" again to open your Google Drive storage in a new tab in the browser.

  6. You should see the locked file on your drive now.

  7. Select it with a right-click, and then the "make a copy" option from the menu.

    8.Select the copy of the file with a right-click, and there download to download the file to your local system.

Basically, what this does is create a copy of the file on your own Drive account. Since you are the owner of the copied file, you may download it to your local system this way.

Please note that this works only if you are signed in to a Google Account. Also note that you are the owner of the copied file and will be held responsible for policy violations or other issues linked to the file.

Another option is: Any public folder in Drive can host files and provide direct links to the files.

How to create the hosting URL: https:// googledrive.com/host/FolderID (your id file)

This will provide a folder that will give direct links to files inside the folder. Note: hosting view will not display files created in Google Docs.

My solution:

I had the same problem, so I made a JSON file in Google Drive but the URL file (.mp3) is in Dropbox. It is working fantastic even though I have 40,000 active user. I used this solution because I did not have time to search too much! I wrote you the Dropbox Limits anyway but I did not get problems with it

Traffic limits DROPBOX

Links and file requests are automatically banned if they generate unusually large amounts of traffic.

Dropbox Basic (free) accounts:

20 GB per day: The total amount of traffic that all of your links and file requests combined can generate without getting banned 100,000 downloads per day: The total number of downloads that all of your links combined can generate

Dropbox Plus and Business accounts: About 200 GB per day: The total amount of traffic that all of your links and file requests combined can generate without getting banned There's no daily limit to the number of downloads that your links can generate If your account hits our limit, we'll send a message to the email address registered to your account. Your links will be temporarily disabled, and anyone who tries to access them will see an error page instead of your files.

P.S. If you need more information about my files and how did it and How to make the URL File from Dropbox, I hope help to the people is reading this! (I posted it before but Someone deleted my last post)!

How do I set browser width and height in Selenium WebDriver?

It's easy. Here is the full code.

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("Your URL")
driver.set_window_size(480, 320)

Make sure chrome driver is in your system path.

Removing display of row names from data frame

You have successfully removed the row names. The print.data.frame method just shows the row numbers if no row names are present.

df1 <- data.frame(values = rnorm(3), group = letters[1:3],
                  row.names = paste0("RowName", 1:3))
print(df1)
#            values group
#RowName1 -1.469809     a
#RowName2 -1.164943     b
#RowName3  0.899430     c

rownames(df1) <- NULL
print(df1)
#     values group
#1 -1.469809     a
#2 -1.164943     b
#3  0.899430     c

You can suppress printing the row names and numbers in print.data.frame with the argument row.names as FALSE.

print(df1, row.names = FALSE)
#     values group
# -1.4345829     d
#  0.2182768     e
# -0.2855440     f

Edit: As written in the comments, you want to convert this to HTML. From the xtable and print.xtable documentation, you can see that the argument include.rownames will do the trick.

library("xtable")
print(xtable(df1), type="html", include.rownames = FALSE)
#<!-- html table generated in R 3.1.0 by xtable 1.7-3 package -->
#<!-- Thu Jun 26 12:50:17 2014 -->

How to get number of rows inserted by a transaction

In case you need further info for your log/audit you can OUTPUT clause: This way, not only you keep the number of rows affected, but also what records.

As an example of the Output Clause during inserts: SQL Server list of insert identities

DECLARE @InsertedIDs table(ID int);

INSERT INTO YourTable
    OUTPUT INSERTED.ID
        INTO @InsertedIDs 
    SELECT ...

Select multiple images from android gallery

The EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE option is set on the intent through the Intent.putExtra() method:

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);

Your code above should look like this:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Picture"), 1);

Note: the EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE option is only available in Android API 18 and higher.

What is the difference between include and require in Ruby?

  • Ruby require is more like "include" in other languages (such as C). It tells Ruby that you want to bring in the contents of another file. Similar mechanisms in other languages are:

  • Ruby include is an object-oriented inheritance mechanism used for mixins.

There is a good explanation here:

[The] simple answer is that require and include are essentially unrelated.

"require" is similar to the C include, which may cause newbie confusion. (One notable difference is that locals inside the required file "evaporate" when the require is done.)

The Ruby include is nothing like the C include. The include statement "mixes in" a module into a class. It's a limited form of multiple inheritance. An included module literally bestows an "is-a" relationship on the thing including it.

Emphasis added.

OS X: equivalent of Linux's wget

You can either build wget on the mac machine or use MacPorts to install it directly.

sudo port install wget 

This would work like a charm, also you can update to the latest version as soon as it's available. Port is much more stable than brew, although has a lot less number of formula and ports.

You can install MacPorts from https://www.macports.org/install.php you can download the .pkg file and install it.

How to split the filename from a full path in batch?

@echo off
Set filename="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Dostips.cmd"
call :expand %filename%
:expand
set filename=%~nx1
echo The name of the file is %filename%
set folder=%~dp1
echo It's path is %folder%

delete_all vs destroy_all?

delete_all is a single SQL DELETE statement and nothing more. destroy_all calls destroy() on all matching results of :conditions (if you have one) which could be at least NUM_OF_RESULTS SQL statements.

If you have to do something drastic such as destroy_all() on large dataset, I would probably not do it from the app and handle it manually with care. If the dataset is small enough, you wouldn't hurt as much.

What is the difference between ExecuteScalar, ExecuteReader and ExecuteNonQuery?

ExecuteNonQuery: is typically used when there is nothing returned from the Sql statements like insert ,update, delete operations.

cmd.ExcecuteNonQuery();

ExecuteScalar:

It will be used when Sql query returns single value.

Int b = cmd.ExcecuteScalar();

ExecuteReader

It will be used when Sql query or Stored Procedure returns multiple rows/columns

SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

Is there a way to make AngularJS load partials in the beginning and not at when needed?

You can pass $state to your controller and then when the page loads and calls the getter in the controller you call $state.go('index') or whatever partial you want to load. Done.

How do you run CMD.exe under the Local System Account?

Using Secure Desktop to run cmd.exe as system

We can get kernel access through CMD in Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1 easily by attaching a debugger:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\osk.exe" /v Debugger /t REG_SZ /d "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"
  1. Run CMD as Administrator

  2. Then use this command in Elevated:

     CMD REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\osk.exe" /v Debugger /t REG_SZ /d "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"
    
  3. Then run osk (onscreenkeyboard). It still does not run with system Integrity level if you check through process explorer, but if you can use OSK in service session, it will run as NT Authority\SYSTEM

so I had the idea you have to run it on Secure Desktop.

Start any file as Administrator. When UAC prompts appear, just press Win+U and start OSK and it will start CMD instead. Then in the elevated prompt, type whoami and you will get NT Authority\System. After that, you can start Explorer from the system command shell and use the System profile, but you are somewhat limited what you can do on the network through SYSTEM privileges for security reasons. I will add more explanation later as I discovered it a year ago.

A Brief Explanation of how this happens

Running Cmd.exe Under Local System Account Without Using PsExec. This method runs Debugger Trap technique that was discovered earlier, well this technique has its own benefits it can be used to trap some crafty/malicious worm or malware in the debugger and run some other exe instead to stop the spread or damage temporary. here this registry key traps onscreen keyboard in windows native debugger and runs cmd.exe instead but cmd will still run with Logged on users privileges, however if we run cmd in session0 we can get system shell. so we add here another idea we span the cmd on secure desktop remember secure desktop runs in session 0 under system account and we get system shell. So whenever you run anything as elevated, you have to answer the UAC prompt and UAC prompts on dark, non interactive desktop and once you see it you have to press Win+U and then select OSK you will get CMD.exe running under Local system privileges. There are even more ways to get local system access with CMD

What is bootstrapping?

I belong to the generation who flipped switches to enter a boot program. In the early 1980s, I worked on a microcomputer called Micro-78, developed by Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL). It was a sort of clone of Altair 8800. I distinctly remember what happens when a small boot program was entered using the toggle switches and executed by pressing a button. The program reads a second boot program contained in the 1st track of the floppy disk and overwrites it on itself in such a way that the second boot program starts executing to load a disk operating system. I think the term "bootstrap" refers to this process of the first boot program reading and overwriting the second boot program on itself, in a way "pulling itself up" with the additional functionality of the second boot program. That may be the origin of the original meaning of "the bootstrap program".

How to fix Array indexOf() in JavaScript for Internet Explorer browsers

Identify duplicate values in a list in Python

m = len(mylist)
for index,value in enumerate(mylist):
        for i in xrange(1,m):
                if(index != i):
                    if (L[i] == L[index]):
                        print "Location %d and location %d has same list-entry:  %r" % (index,i,value)

This has some redundancy that can be improved however.

How to predict input image using trained model in Keras?

That's because you're getting the numeric value associated with the class. For example if you have two classes cats and dogs, Keras will associate them numeric values 0 and 1. To get the mapping between your classes and their associated numeric value, you can use

>>> classes = train_generator.class_indices    
>>> print(classes)
    {'cats': 0, 'dogs': 1}

Now you know the mapping between your classes and indices. So now what you can do is

if classes[0][0] == 1: prediction = 'dog' else: prediction = 'cat'

Eclipse : Maven search dependencies doesn't work

You can get this result if you are inside a corporate proxy and the new project isn't pointing to the correct settings.xml file with the proxy credentials.

You can also get this if you are using Maven proxy (Nexus, for example) and the index into the proxy is messed up somehow. I don't know a way to describe how to fix this. Fool around with it or call the one who set up the Maven proxy.

You can also get this if the new workspace hasn't yet downloaded the index either from Maven central or from the proxy. (This is the best one as you just have to wait a while and it will work itself out.)

How to write to a file in Scala?

No dependencies, with error handling

  • Uses methods from the standard library exclusively
  • Creates directories for the file, if necessary
  • Uses Either for error handling

Code

def write(destinationFile: Path, fileContent: String): Either[Exception, Path] =
  write(destinationFile, fileContent.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))

def write(destinationFile: Path, fileContent: Array[Byte]): Either[Exception, Path] =
  try {
    Files.createDirectories(destinationFile.getParent)
    // Return the path to the destinationFile if the write is successful
    Right(Files.write(destinationFile, fileContent))
  } catch {
    case exception: Exception => Left(exception)
  }

Usage

val filePath = Paths.get("./testDir/file.txt")

write(filePath , "A test") match {
  case Right(pathToWrittenFile) => println(s"Successfully wrote to $pathToWrittenFile")
  case Left(exception) => println(s"Could not write to $filePath. Exception: $exception")
}

How can I change the color of pagination dots of UIPageControl?

The answer provided by Heiberg works really well, however the page control does not behave exactly like the one by apple.

If you want the page control to behave like the one from apple does (always increment the current page by one if you touch the second half, otherwise decrease by one), try this touchesBegan-method instead:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{

    CGPoint touchPoint = [[[event touchesForView:self] anyObject] locationInView:self];

    CGRect currentBounds = self.bounds;
    CGFloat x = touchPoint.x - CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds);

    if(x<0 && self.currentPage>=0){
        self.currentPage--;
        [self.delegate pageControlPageDidChange:self]; 
    }
    else if(x>0 && self.currentPage<self.numberOfPages-1){
        self.currentPage++;
        [self.delegate pageControlPageDidChange:self]; 
    }   
}

Drop all tables command

I had this issue in Android and I wrote a method similar to it-west.

Because I used AUTOINCREMENT primary keys in my tables, there was a table called sqlite_sequence. SQLite would crash when the routine tried to drop that table. I couldn't catch the exception either. Looking at https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html#internal_schema_objects, I learned that there could be several of these internal schema tables that I didn't want to drop. The documentation says that any of these tables have names beginning with sqlite_ so I wrote this method

private void dropAllUserTables(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'", null);
    //noinspection TryFinallyCanBeTryWithResources not available with API < 19
    try {
        List<String> tables = new ArrayList<>(cursor.getCount());

        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
            tables.add(cursor.getString(0));
        }

        for (String table : tables) {
            if (table.startsWith("sqlite_")) {
                continue;
            }
            db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + table);
            Log.v(LOG_TAG, "Dropped table " + table);
        }
    } finally {
        cursor.close();
    }
}

Reading a file character by character in C

I think the most significant problem is that you're incrementing code as you read stuff in, and then returning the final value of code, i.e. you'll be returning a pointer to the end of the string. You probably want to make a copy of code before the loop, and return that instead.

Also, C strings need to be null-terminated. You need to make sure that you place a '\0' directly after the final character that you read in.

Note: You could just use fgets() to get the entire line in one hit.

PHP max_input_vars

Have just attempted this fix with 5.3.3 and there's no change. Googling around I found this web page http://anothersysadmin.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/php-5-3-max_input_vars-and-big-forms/ detailing other settings which need changing if your server uses the Suhosin patch which Apache under Debian does.

The site explains:

So, if you want to increase this number to, say, 3000 from the default number which is 1000, you have to put in your php.ini these lines:

max_input_vars = 3000 suhosin.post.max_vars = 3000 suhosin.request.max_vars = 3000

I tested it (added settings to php.ini both in /etc/php5/apache2 and /etc/php5/cli, and restarted Apache successfully) but still no max_input_vars variable in phpinfo.

A few sites point to PHP 5.3.9 as the first PHP version in which this change will take, so my fault for not RTM properly in the first place, although I'm interested to see people reporting it working in version above 5.3.3 but below 5.3.9.

Android ImageView Fixing Image Size

You can also try this, suppose if you want to make a back image button and you have "500x500 png" and want it to fit in small button size.

Use dp to fix ImageView's size.

add this line of code to your Imageview.

android:scaleType="fitXY"

EXAMPLE:

<ImageView
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:id="@+id/imageView2"
        android:src="@drawable/Backicon"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        />

CSS @media print issues with background-color;

Despite !important usage being generally frowned upon, this is the offending code in bootstrap.css which prevents table rows from being printed with background-color.

.table td,
.table th {
    background-color: #fff !important;
}

Let's assume you are trying to style the following HTML:

<table class="table">
    <tr class="highlighted">
      <td>Name</td>
      <td>School</td>
      <td>Height</td>
      <td>Weight</td>
    </tr>
</table>

To override this CSS, place the following (more specific) rule in your stylesheet:

@media print {
    table tr.highlighted > td {
        background-color: rgba(247, 202, 24, 0.3) !important;
    }
}

This works because the rule is more specific than the bootstrap default.

Why won't eclipse switch the compiler to Java 8?

Two things:

First, JRE is not the same as the JDK. If you do have the JDK, you need to configure eclipse to point to that in your settings.

Second, in your screenshot above, your compiler compliance level is set to 1.7. This will treat all your code as if it's using Java 1.7. Change this to 1.8 to fix your error.

You will need to have Eclipse Luna in order to get support for Java 8, but you can add it to Kepler SR2 if you want. I'd try with Luna and the above suggestions before you go any further. See this reference.

Once you get Luna, your JAVA_HOME variable should be enough to get Eclipse to recognize JDK 8. If you want to specify an additional JDK, you can add a new Java System Library by going to:

Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Library -> Java System Library

and navigating to a valid location for the JDK 8.

You can download your platform's JDK 8 here

How do I concatenate two strings in C?

In C, you don't really have strings, as a generic first-class object. You have to manage them as arrays of characters, which mean that you have to determine how you would like to manage your arrays. One way is to normal variables, e.g. placed on the stack. Another way is to allocate them dynamically using malloc.

Once you have that sorted, you can copy the content of one array to another, to concatenate two strings using strcpy or strcat.

Having said that, C do have the concept of "string literals", which are strings known at compile time. When used, they will be a character array placed in read-only memory. It is, however, possible to concatenate two string literals by writing them next to each other, as in "foo" "bar", which will create the string literal "foobar".

The type arguments for method cannot be inferred from the usage

Kirk's answer is right on. As a rule, you're not going to have any luck with type inference when your method signature has fewer types of parameters than it has generic type parameters.

In your particular case, it seems you could possibly move the T type parameter to the class level and then get type inference on your Get method:

class ServiceGate<T>
{
    public IAccess<S, T> Get<S>(S sig) where S : ISignatur<T>
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Then the code you posted with the CS0411 error could be rewritten as:

static void Main()
{
    // Notice: a bit more cumbersome to write here...
    ServiceGate<SomeType> service = new ServiceGate<SomeType>();

    // ...but at least you get type inference here.
    IAccess<Signatur, SomeType> access = service.Get(new Signatur());
}

How many times a substring occurs

Overlapping occurences:

def olpcount(string,pattern,case_sensitive=True):
    if case_sensitive != True:
        string  = string.lower()
        pattern = pattern.lower()
    l = len(pattern)
    ct = 0
    for c in range(0,len(string)):
        if string[c:c+l] == pattern:
            ct += 1
    return ct

test = 'my maaather lies over the oceaaan'
print test
print olpcount(test,'a')
print olpcount(test,'aa')
print olpcount(test,'aaa')

Results:

my maaather lies over the oceaaan
6

php multidimensional array get values

For people who searched for php multidimensional array get values and actually want to solve problem comes from getting one column value from a 2 dimensinal array (like me!), here's a much elegant way than using foreach, which is array_column

For example, if I only want to get hotel_name from the below array, and form to another array:

$hotels = [
    [
        'hotel_name' => 'Hotel A',
        'info' => 'Hotel A Info',
    ],
    [
        'hotel_name' => 'Hotel B',
        'info' => 'Hotel B Info',
    ]
];

I can do this using array_column:

$hotel_name = array_column($hotels, 'hotel_name');

print_r($hotel_name); // Which will give me ['Hotel A', 'Hotel B']

For the actual answer for this question, it can also be beautified by array_column and call_user_func_array('array_merge', $twoDimensionalArray);

Let's make the data in PHP:

$hotels = [
    [
        'hotel_name' => 'Hotel A',
        'info' => 'Hotel A Info',
        'rooms' => [
            [
                'room_name' => 'Luxury Room',
                'bed' => 2,
                'boards' => [
                    'board_id' => 1,
                    'price' => 200
                ]
            ],
            [
                'room_name' => 'Non Luxy Room',
                'bed' => 4,
                'boards' => [
                    'board_id' => 2,
                    'price' => 150
                ]
            ],
        ]
    ],
    [
        'hotel_name' => 'Hotel B',
        'info' => 'Hotel B Info',
        'rooms' => [
            [
                'room_name' => 'Luxury Room',
                'bed' => 2,
                'boards' => [
                    'board_id' => 3,
                    'price' => 900
                ]
            ],
            [
                'room_name' => 'Non Luxy Room',
                'bed' => 4,
                'boards' => [
                    'board_id' => 4,
                    'price' => 300
                ]
            ],
        ]
    ]
];

And here's the calculation:

$rooms = array_column($hotels, 'rooms');
$rooms = call_user_func_array('array_merge', $rooms);
$boards = array_column($rooms, 'boards');

foreach($boards as $board){
    $board_id = $board['board_id'];
    $price = $board['price'];
    echo "Board ID is: ".$board_id." and price is: ".$price . "<br/>";
}

Which will give you the following result:

Board ID is: 1 and price is: 200
Board ID is: 2 and price is: 150
Board ID is: 3 and price is: 900
Board ID is: 4 and price is: 300

Javascript/Jquery to change class onclick?

With jquery you could do to sth. like this, which will simply switch classes.

$('.showhide').click(function() {
    $(this).removeClass('myclass');
    $(this).addClass('showhidenew');
});

If you want to switch classes back and forth on each click, you can use toggleClass, like so:

$('.showhide').click(function() {
    $(this).toggleClass('myclass');
    $(this).toggleClass('showhidenew');
});

How does one check if a table exists in an Android SQLite database?

You mentioned that you've created an class that extends SQLiteOpenHelper and implemented the onCreate method. Are you making sure that you're performing all your database acquire calls with that class? You should only be getting SQLiteDatabase objects via the SQLiteOpenHelper#getWritableDatabase and getReadableDatabase otherwise the onCreate method will not be called when necessary. If you are doing that already check and see if th SQLiteOpenHelper#onUpgrade method is being called instead. If so, then the database version number was changed at some point in time but the table was never created properly when that happened.

As an aside, you can force the recreation of the database by making sure all connections to it are closed and calling Context#deleteDatabase and then using the SQLiteOpenHelper to give you a new db object.

Installing cmake with home-brew

Typing brew install cmake as you did installs cmake. Now you can type cmake and use it.

If typing cmake doesn’t work make sure /usr/local/bin is your PATH. You can see it with echo $PATH. If you don’t see /usr/local/bin in it add the following to your ~/.bashrc:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Then reload your shell session and try again.


(all the above assumes Homebrew is installed in its default location, /usr/local. If not you’ll have to replace /usr/local with $(brew --prefix) in the export line)

How to keep indent for second line in ordered lists via CSS?

my solution is quite the same as Pumbaa80's one, but I suggest to use display: table instead of display:table-row for li element. So it will be something like this:

ol {
    counter-reset: foo; /* default display:list-item */
}

ol > li {
    counter-increment: foo;
    display: table; /* instead of table-row */
}

ol > li::before {
    content: counter(foo) ".";
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: right;
}

So now we can use margins for spacing between li's

Better way to check if a Path is a File or a Directory?

I needed this, the posts helped, this gets it down to one line, and if the path isn't a path at all, it just returns and exits the method. It addresses all of the above concerns, doesn't need the trailing slash either.

if (!Directory.Exists(@"C:\folderName")) return;

MySql Inner Join with WHERE clause

Yes you are right. You have placed WHERE clause wrong. You can only use one WHERE clause in single query so try AND for multiple conditions like this:

 SELECT table1.f_id  FROM table1 
   INNER JOIN table2
     ON table2.f_id = table1.f_id
 WHERE table2.f_type = 'InProcess'
   AND f_com_id = '430'
   AND f_status = 'Submitted' 

Get ALL User Friends Using Facebook Graph API - Android

In v2.0 of the Graph API, calling /me/friends returns the person's friends who also use the app.

In addition, in v2.0, you must request the user_friends permission from each user. user_friends is no longer included by default in every login. Each user must grant the user_friends permission in order to appear in the response to /me/friends. See the Facebook upgrade guide for more detailed information, or review the summary below.

The /me/friendlists endpoint and user_friendlists permission are not what you're after. This endpoint does not return the users friends - its lets you access the lists a person has made to organize their friends. It does not return the friends in each of these lists. This API and permission is useful to allow you to render a custom privacy selector when giving people the opportunity to publish back to Facebook.

If you want to access a list of non-app-using friends, there are two options:

  1. If you want to let your people tag their friends in stories that they publish to Facebook using your App, you can use the /me/taggable_friends API. Use of this endpoint requires review by Facebook and should only be used for the case where you're rendering a list of friends in order to let the user tag them in a post.

  2. If your App is a Game AND your Game supports Facebook Canvas, you can use the /me/invitable_friends endpoint in order to render a custom invite dialog, then pass the tokens returned by this API to the standard Requests Dialog.

In other cases, apps are no longer able to retrieve the full list of a user's friends (only those friends who have specifically authorized your app using the user_friends permission).

For apps wanting allow people to invite friends to use an app, you can still use the Send Dialog on Web or the new Message Dialog on iOS and Android.

How to get a list of all files that changed between two Git commits?

To find the names of all files modified since your last commit:

git diff --name-only

Or (for a bit more information, including untracked files):

git status

Do conditional INSERT with SQL?

Usually you make the thing you don't want duplicates of unique, and allow the database itself to refuse the insert.

Otherwise, you can use INSERT INTO, see How to avoid duplicates in INSERT INTO SELECT query in SQL Server?

How to insert a new line in strings in Android

I use <br> in a CDATA tag. As an example, my strings.xml file contains an item like this:

<item><![CDATA[<b>My name is John</b><br>Nice to meet you]]></item>

and prints

My name is John
Nice to meet you

What characters are valid for JavaScript variable names?

The accepted answer would rule out a lot of valid identifiers, as far as I can see. Here is a regular expression that I put together which should follow the spec (see chapter 7.6 on identifiers). Created it using RegexBuddy and you can find an export of the explanation at http://samples.geekality.net/js-identifiers.

^[$_\p{L}][$_\p{L}\p{Mn}\p{Mc}\p{Nd}\p{Pc}\u200C\u200D]*+$

In addition, the name cannot be one of the following reserved words.

break, do, instanceof, typeof, case, else, new, var, catch, finally, return, void, continue, for, switch, while, debugger, function, this, with, default, if, throw, delete, in, try, class, enum, extends, super, const, export, import, implements, let, private, public, yield, interface, package, protected, static, null, true, false

fetch gives an empty response body

This requires changes to the frontend JS and the headers sent from the backend.

Frontend

Remove "mode":"no-cors" in the fetch options.

fetch(
  "http://example.com/api/docs", 
  {
    // mode: "no-cors",
    method: "GET"
  }
)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(data => console.log(data))

Backend

When your server responds to the request, include the CORS headers specifying the origin from where the request is coming. If you don't care about the origin, specify the * wildcard.

The raw response should include a header like this.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

What __init__ and self do in Python?

note that self could actually be any valid python identifier. For example, we could just as easily write, from Chris B's example:

class A(object):
    def __init__(foo):
        foo.x = 'Hello'

    def method_a(bar, foo):
        print bar.x + ' ' + foo

and it would work exactly the same. It is however recommended to use self because other pythoners will recognize it more easily.

How to specify a multi-line shell variable?

Use read with a heredoc as shown below:

read -d '' sql << EOF
select c1, c2 from foo
where c1='something'
EOF

echo "$sql"

difference between System.out.println() and System.err.println()

It's worth noting that an OS has one queue for both System.err and System.out. Consider the following code:

public class PrintQueue {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            System.out.println("out");
            System.err.println("err");
        }
    }
}

If you compile and run the program, you will see that the order of outputs in console is mixed up.

An OS will remain right order if you work either with System.out or System.err only. But it can randomly choose what to print next to console, if you use both of these.

Even in this code snippet you can see that the order is mixed up sometimes:

public class PrintQueue {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("out");
        System.err.println("err");
    }
}

Why is my JQuery selector returning a n.fn.init[0], and what is it?

Your result object is a jQuery element, not a javascript array. The array you wish must be under .get()

As the return value is a jQuery object, which contains an array, it's very common to call .get() on the result to work with a basic array. http://api.jquery.com/map/

Check if any type of files exist in a directory using BATCH script

You can use this

@echo off
for /F %%i in ('dir /b "c:\test directory\*.*"') do (
   echo Folder is NON empty
   goto :EOF
)
echo Folder is empty or does not exist

Taken from here.

That should do what you need.

How to access a property of an object (stdClass Object) member/element of an array?

Try this, working fine -

$array = json_decode(json_encode($array), true);

How to test an SQL Update statement before running it?

Not a direct answer, but I've seen many borked prod data situations that could have been avoided by typing the WHERE clause first! Sometimes a WHERE 1 = 0 can help with putting a working statement together safely too. And looking at an estimated execution plan, which will estimate rows affected, can be useful. Beyond that, in a transaction that you roll back as others have said.

Mockito: Inject real objects into private @Autowired fields

Mockito is not a DI framework and even DI frameworks encourage constructor injections over field injections.
So you just declare a constructor to set dependencies of the class under test :

@Mock
private SomeService serviceMock;

private Demo demo;

/* ... */
@BeforeEach
public void beforeEach(){
   demo = new Demo(serviceMock);
}

Using Mockito spy for the general case is a terrible advise. It makes the test class brittle, not straight and error prone : What is really mocked ? What is really tested ?
@InjectMocks and @Spy also hurts the overall design since it encourages bloated classes and mixed responsibilities in the classes.
Please read the spy() javadoc before using that blindly (emphasis is not mine) :

Creates a spy of the real object. The spy calls real methods unless they are stubbed. Real spies should be used carefully and occasionally, for example when dealing with legacy code.

As usual you are going to read the partial mock warning: Object oriented programming tackles complexity by dividing the complexity into separate, specific, SRPy objects. How does partial mock fit into this paradigm? Well, it just doesn't... Partial mock usually means that the complexity has been moved to a different method on the same object. In most cases, this is not the way you want to design your application.

However, there are rare cases when partial mocks come handy: dealing with code you cannot change easily (3rd party interfaces, interim refactoring of legacy code etc.) However, I wouldn't use partial mocks for new, test-driven & well-designed code.

How do I do logging in C# without using 3rd party libraries?

public void Logger(string lines)
{
  //Write the string to a file.append mode is enabled so that the log
  //lines get appended to  test.txt than wiping content and writing the log

  using(System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\\test.txt", true))
  {
    file.WriteLine(lines);
  }
}

How to clear gradle cache?

Gradle cache is located at

  • On Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.gradle\caches
  • On Mac / UNIX: ~/.gradle/caches/

You can browse to these directory and manually delete it or run

rm -rf $HOME/.gradle/caches/

on UNIX system. Run this command will also force to download dependencies.


UPDATE

Clear the Android build cache of current project

NOTE: Android Studio's File > Invalidate Caches / Restart doesn't clear the Android build cache, so you'll have to clean it separately.

On Windows:

gradlew cleanBuildCache

On Mac or UNIX:

./gradlew cleanBuildCache

What does $(function() {} ); do?

It's just shorthand for $(document).ready(), as in: $(document).ready(function() { YOUR_CODE_HERE });. Sometimes you have to use it because your function is running before the DOM finishes loading.

Everything is explained here: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Introducing_$(document).ready()

Using a RegEx to match IP addresses in Python

Using regex to validate IP address is a bad idea - this will pass 999.999.999.999 as valid. Try this approach using socket instead - much better validation and just as easy, if not easier to do.

import socket

def valid_ip(address):
    try: 
        socket.inet_aton(address)
        return True
    except:
        return False

print valid_ip('10.10.20.30')
print valid_ip('999.10.20.30')
print valid_ip('gibberish')

If you really want to use parse-the-host approach instead, this code will do it exactly:

def valid_ip(address):
    try:
        host_bytes = address.split('.')
        valid = [int(b) for b in host_bytes]
        valid = [b for b in valid if b >= 0 and b<=255]
        return len(host_bytes) == 4 and len(valid) == 4
    except:
        return False

Disable validation of HTML5 form elements

Here is the function I use to prevent chrome and opera from showing the invalid input dialog even when using novalidate.

window.submittingForm = false;
$('input[novalidate]').bind('invalid', function(e) {
    if(!window.submittingForm){
        window.submittingForm = true;
        $(e.target.form).submit();
        setTimeout(function(){window.submittingForm = false;}, 100);
    }
    e.preventDefault();
    return false;
});

How to change the remote repository for a git submodule?

A brute force approach:

  • update the .gitmodules file in the supermodule to point to the new submodule url,
  • add and commit the changes to supermodule/.gitmodules,
  • make a new clone of the supermodule somewhere else on your computer (making sure that the latest changes to the .gitmodules file are reflected in the clone),
  • change your working directory to the new clone of the supermodule,
  • run git submodule update --init path-to-submodule on the submodule,

et voilà! The submodule in the new clone of the supermodule is properly configured!

How does one make random number between range for arc4random_uniform()?

If You want i create that for random numbers. this is extension of number Int and Double, Float

/**
    Arc Random for Double and Float
*/
public func arc4random <T: IntegerLiteralConvertible> (type: T.Type) -> T {
    var r: T = 0
    arc4random_buf(&r, UInt(sizeof(T)))
    return r
}
public extension Int {
    /**
    Create a random num Int
    :param: lower number Int
    :param: upper number Int
    :return: random number Int
    By DaRkDOG
    */
    public static func random (#lower: Int , upper: Int) -> Int {
        return lower + Int(arc4random_uniform(upper - lower + 1))
    }

}
public extension Double {
    /**
    Create a random num Double
    :param: lower number Double
    :param: upper number Double
    :return: random number Double
    By DaRkDOG
    */
    public static func random(#lower: Double, upper: Double) -> Double {
        let r = Double(arc4random(UInt64)) / Double(UInt64.max)
        return (r * (upper - lower)) + lower
    }
}
public extension Float {
    /**
    Create a random num Float
    :param: lower number Float
    :param: upper number Float
    :return: random number Float
    By DaRkDOG
    */
    public static func random(#lower: Float, upper: Float) -> Float {
        let r = Float(arc4random(UInt32)) / Float(UInt32.max)
        return (r * (upper - lower)) + lower
    }
}

USE :

let randomNumDouble = Double.random(lower: 0.00, upper: 23.50)
let randomNumInt = Int.random(lower: 56, upper: 992)
let randomNumInt =Float.random(lower: 6.98, upper: 923.09)

How to populate options of h:selectOneMenu from database?

Call me lazy but coding a Converter seems like a lot of unnecessary work. I'm using Primefaces and, not having used a plain vanilla JSF2 listbox or dropdown menu before, I just assumed (being lazy) that the widget could handle complex objects, i.e. pass the selected object as is to its corresponding getter/setter like so many other widgets do. I was disappointed to find (after hours of head scratching) that this capability does not exist for this widget type without a Converter. In fact if you supply a setter for the complex object rather than for a String, it fails silently (simply doesn't call the setter, no Exception, no JS error), and I spent a ton of time going through BalusC's excellent troubleshooting tool to find the cause, to no avail since none of those suggestions applied. My conclusion: listbox/menu widget needs adapting that other JSF2 widgets do not. This seems misleading and prone to leading the uninformed developer like myself down a rabbit hole.

In the end I resisted coding a Converter and found through trial and error that if you set the widget value to a complex object, e.g.:

<p:selectOneListbox id="adminEvents" value="#{testBean.selectedEvent}">

... when the user selects an item, the widget can call a String setter for that object, e.g. setSelectedThing(String thingString) {...}, and the String passed is a JSON String representing the Thing object. I can parse it to determine which object was selected. This feels a little like a hack, but less of a hack than a Converter.

Querying Datatable with where condition

Something like this...

var res = from row in myDTable.AsEnumerable()
where row.Field<int>("EmpID") == 5 &&
(row.Field<string>("EmpName") != "abc" ||
row.Field<string>("EmpName") != "xyz")
select row;

Java SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match

I had similar problem. I was using Android's DefaultHttpClient. I have read that HttpsURLConnection can handle this kind of exception. So I created custom HostnameVerifier which uses the verifier from HttpsURLConnection. I also wrapped the implementation to custom HttpClient.

public class CustomHttpClient extends DefaultHttpClient {

public CustomHttpClient() {
    super();
    SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory();
    socketFactory.setHostnameVerifier(new CustomHostnameVerifier());
    Scheme scheme = (new Scheme("https", socketFactory, 443));
    getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(scheme);
}

Here is the CustomHostnameVerifier class:

public class CustomHostnameVerifier implements org.apache.http.conn.ssl.X509HostnameVerifier {

@Override
public boolean verify(String host, SSLSession session) {
    HostnameVerifier hv = HttpsURLConnection.getDefaultHostnameVerifier();
    return hv.verify(host, session);
}

@Override
public void verify(String host, SSLSocket ssl) throws IOException {
}

@Override
public void verify(String host, X509Certificate cert) throws SSLException {

}

@Override
public void verify(String host, String[] cns, String[] subjectAlts) throws SSLException {

}

}

Compile throws a "User-defined type not defined" error but does not go to the offending line of code

I had this problem with an ordinary VB6 program. It turned out that I had omitted a class definition, not a user-defined type. Apparently VB saw something like "Thing.name" and assumed Thing was a UDT. Yes, it's a serious VB6 bug, but you could hardly expect Microsoft to support something they sold sixteen years ago. So what versions of the various products involved are you using? This is only interesting if it occurs with a product that MS supports.

How can I generate an MD5 hash?

You need java.security.MessageDigest.

Call MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5") to get a MD5 instance of MessageDigest you can use.

The compute the hash by doing one of:

  • Feed the entire input as a byte[] and calculate the hash in one operation with md.digest(bytes).
  • Feed the MessageDigest one byte[] chunk at a time by calling md.update(bytes). When you're done adding input bytes, calculate the hash with md.digest().

The byte[] returned by md.digest() is the MD5 hash.
