Programs & Examples On #Pagination

Pagination is the process of dividing information into discrete pages.

In Flask, What is request.args and how is it used?

@martinho as a newbie using Flask and Python myself, I think the previous answers here took for granted that you had a good understanding of the fundamentals. In case you or other viewers don't know the fundamentals, I'll give more context to understand the answer...

... the request.args is bringing a "dictionary" object for you. The "dictionary" object is similar to other collection-type of objects in Python, in that it can store many elements in one single object. Therefore the answer to your question

And how many parameters request.args.get() takes.

It will take only one object, a "dictionary" type of object (as stated in the previous answers). This "dictionary" object, however, can have as many elements as needed... (dictionaries have paired elements called Key, Value).

Other collection-type of objects besides "dictionaries", would be "tuple", and "list"... you can run a google search on those and "data structures" in order to learn other Python fundamentals. This answer is based Python; I don't have an idea if the same applies to other programming languages.

Check if a user has scrolled to the bottom

Let me show approch without JQuery. Simple JS function:

function isVisible(elem) {
  var coords = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
  var topVisible = coords.top > 0 && coords.top < 0;
  var bottomVisible = coords.bottom < shift && coords.bottom > 0;
  return topVisible || bottomVisible;
}

Short example how to use it:

var img = document.getElementById("pic1");
    if (isVisible(img)) { img.style.opacity = "1.00";  }

Implement paging (skip / take) functionality with this query

In order to do this in SQL Server, you must order the query by a column, so you can specify the rows you want.

Example:

select * from table order by [some_column] 
offset 10 rows
FETCH NEXT 10 rows only

And you can't use the "TOP" keyword when doing this.

Pagination response payload from a RESTful API

As someone who has written several libraries for consuming REST services, let me give you the client perspective on why I think wrapping the result in metadata is the way to go:

  • Without the total count, how can the client know that it has not yet received everything there is and should continue paging through the result set? In a UI that didn't perform look ahead to the next page, in the worst case this might be represented as a Next/More link that didn't actually fetch any more data.
  • Including metadata in the response allows the client to track less state. Now I don't have to match up my REST request with the response, as the response contains the metadata necessary to reconstruct the request state (in this case the cursor into the dataset).
  • If the state is part of the response, I can perform multiple requests into the same dataset simultaneously, and I can handle the requests in any order they happen to arrive in which is not necessarily the order I made the requests in.

And a suggestion: Like the Twitter API, you should replace the page_number with a straight index/cursor. The reason is, the API allows the client to set the page size per-request. Is the returned page_number the number of pages the client has requested so far, or the number of the page given the last used page_size (almost certainly the later, but why not avoid such ambiguity altogether)?

how to remove pagination in datatable

You should include "bPaginate": false, into the configuration object you pass to your constructor parameters. As seen here: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/filter_only.html

How to paginate with Mongoose in Node.js?

You can either use skip() and limit(), but it's very inefficient. A better solution would be a sort on indexed field plus limit(). We at Wunderflats have published a small lib here: https://github.com/wunderflats/goosepage It uses the first way.

You should \usepackage{longtable}.

Custom pagination view in Laravel 5

beside the answer of @MantasD I would like to offer comprehensive customized Laravel pagination. Assuming using Laravel 5.2 and the following included view:

@include('pagination.default', ['pager' => $users])

Features

  • Showing Previous and Next buttons and disable them when not applicable
  • Showing First and Last page icon only if the Previous and Next page not doing the same
  • Generate relative links ex: (10, 100, 500 .. etc.) instead of limiting pages
  • Showing result from x to y of each page using a helper function.

default.blade.php

@if($pager->lastPage() != 1)
<ul class="pagination">

    @unless($pager->currentPage() < 3)
        <li class="paginate_button previous">
            <a href="{{ $pager->url(1) }}" title="First Page"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-left"></i></a>
        </li>
    @endunless

    <li class="paginate_button previous @unless($pager->previousPageUrl())disabled @endunless">
        <a href="{{ $pager->previousPageUrl() }}"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></a>
    </li>

    @while($pager->paging++ < $pager->lastPage())
        @if (abs($pager->paging - $pager->currentPage()) >= 2)
            {{-- Generate relative links (eg. +10,etc) --}}
            @if(in_array(abs($pager->paging - $pager->currentPage()), array(10, 50, 100, 500, 1000))
            and $pager->paging != 1 and $pager->paging != $pager->lastPage())
                <li class="paginate_button @unless($pager->currentPage() != $pager->paging)active @endunless">
                    <a title="Results from {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['start'] }} to {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['end'] }} of {{ $pager->total() }}" href="{{ $pager->url($pager->paging) }}">
                        <!-- + {{ $pager->paging - $pager->currentPage() }} -->{{ $pager->paging }}
                    </a>
                </li>
            @endif
        @else
            <li class="paginate_button @unless($pager->currentPage() != $pager->paging)active @endunless">
                <a title="Results from {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['start'] }} to {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['end'] }} of {{ $pager->total() }}" href="{{ $pager->url($pager->paging) }}">
                    {{ $pager->paging }}
                </a>
            </li>
        @endif
    @endwhile

    <li class="paginate_button next @unless($pager->nextPageUrl())disabled @endunless">
        <a href="{{ $pager->nextPageUrl() }}"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a>
    </li>

    @unless($pager->lastPage() - $pager->currentPage() < 2)
        <li class="paginate_button next">
            <a href="{{ $pager->url($pager->lastPage()) }}" title="Last Page"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
        </li>
    @endunless

</ul>
@endif

PaginationStartEnd function

if (!function_exists('PaginationStartEnd')) {
function PaginationStartEnd($currentPage, $perPage, $total)
{
    $pageStart = number_format( $perPage * ($currentPage - 1));
    $pageEnd = $pageStart +  $perPage;

    if ($pageEnd > $total)
        $pageEnd = $total;

    $pageStart++;

    return array('start' => number_format($pageStart), 'end' => number_format($pageEnd));
}
}

You can use and customize this more as you wish.

Note: $pager->paging is variable set to 0 declared in the controller action

Detect page change on DataTable

IF you have a version greater than 1.8, you can use this to hit the page change events:

    $('#myTable').on('page', function () {...} );

Hope this helps!

UPDATE:

Some comments have pointed out that using .live() instead of .on() worked for them. Be aware of that you should try both and see which one works best in your particular circumstance! (I believe this may have to do with your version on jQuery, but please comment if you find another reason!)

How to use paginator from material angular?

Another way to link Angular Paginator with the data table using Slice Pipe.Here data is fetched only once from server.

View:

 <div class="col-md-3" *ngFor="let productObj of productListData | 
     slice: lowValue : highValue">
       //actual data dispaly  
 </div>

<mat-paginator [length]="productListData.length" [pageSize]="pageSize" 
   (page)="pageEvent = getPaginatorData($event)">
</mat-paginator> 

Component

    pageIndex:number = 0;
    pageSize:number = 50;
    lowValue:number = 0;
    highValue:number = 50;       

  getPaginatorData(event){
     console.log(event);
     if(event.pageIndex === this.pageIndex + 1){
        this.lowValue = this.lowValue + this.pageSize;
        this.highValue =  this.highValue + this.pageSize;
       }
    else if(event.pageIndex === this.pageIndex - 1){
       this.lowValue = this.lowValue - this.pageSize;
       this.highValue =  this.highValue - this.pageSize;
      }   
       this.pageIndex = event.pageIndex;
 }

Equivalent of LIMIT and OFFSET for SQL Server?

select top {LIMIT HERE} * from (
      select *, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by {ORDER FIELD}) as r_n_n 
      from {YOUR TABLES} where {OTHER OPTIONAL FILTERS}
) xx where r_n_n >={OFFSET HERE}

A note: This solution will only work in SQL Server 2005 or above, since this was when ROW_NUMBER() was implemented.

UITableView load more when scrolling to bottom like Facebook application

You can do that by adding a check on where you're at in the cellForRowAtIndexPath: method. This method is easy to understand and to implement :

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // Classic start method
    static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"MyCell";
    MyCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
    if (!cell)
    {
        cell = [[MyCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:MainMenuCellIdentifier];
    }

    MyData *data = [self.dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    // Do your cell customisation
    // cell.titleLabel.text = data.title;

    BOOL lastItemReached = [data isEqual:[[self.dataArray] lastObject]]; 
    if (!lastItemReached && indexPath.row == [self.dataArray count] - 1)
    {
        [self launchReload];
    }
}

EDIT : added a check on last item to prevent recursion calls. You'll have to implement the method defining whether the last item has been reached or not.

EDIT2 : explained lastItemReached

API pagination best practices

There may be two approaches depending on your server side logic.

Approach 1: When server is not smart enough to handle object states.

You could send all cached record unique id’s to server, for example ["id1","id2","id3","id4","id5","id6","id7","id8","id9","id10"] and a boolean parameter to know whether you are requesting new records(pull to refresh) or old records(load more).

Your sever should responsible to return new records(load more records or new records via pull to refresh) as well as id’s of deleted records from ["id1","id2","id3","id4","id5","id6","id7","id8","id9","id10"].

Example:- If you are requesting load more then your request should look something like this:-

{
        "isRefresh" : false,
        "cached" : ["id1","id2","id3","id4","id5","id6","id7","id8","id9","id10"]
}

Now suppose you are requesting old records(load more) and suppose "id2" record is updated by someone and "id5" and "id8" records is deleted from server then your server response should look something like this:-

{
        "records" : [
{"id" :"id2","more_key":"updated_value"},
{"id" :"id11","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id12","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id13","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id14","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id15","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id16","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id17","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id18","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id19","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id20","more_key":"more_value"}],
        "deleted" : ["id5","id8"]
}

But in this case if you’ve a lot of local cached records suppose 500, then your request string will be too long like this:-

{
        "isRefresh" : false,
        "cached" : ["id1","id2","id3","id4","id5","id6","id7","id8","id9","id10",………,"id500"]//Too long request
}

Approach 2: When server is smart enough to handle object states according to date.

You could send the id of first record and the last record and previous request epoch time. In this way your request is always small even if you’ve a big amount of cached records

Example:- If you are requesting load more then your request should look something like this:-

{
        "isRefresh" : false,
        "firstId" : "id1",
        "lastId" : "id10",
        "last_request_time" : 1421748005
}

Your server is responsible to return the id’s of deleted records which is deleted after the last_request_time as well as return the updated record after last_request_time between "id1" and "id10" .

{
        "records" : [
{"id" :"id2","more_key":"updated_value"},
{"id" :"id11","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id12","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id13","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id14","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id15","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id16","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id17","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id18","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id19","more_key":"more_value"},
{"id" :"id20","more_key":"more_value"}],
        "deleted" : ["id5","id8"]
}

How to use pagination on HTML tables?

As far as I can see it on the website of that paginations plugin, the plugin itself doesn't do the actual pagination. The only thing it does is display a row of numbers, and display the correct buttons depending on the page you're on.

However, to actually paginate, you have to write the appropriate Javascript yourself. This should be placed in stead of this Javascript:

function test(pageNumber)
{

  var page="#page-id-"+pageNumber;
  $('.select').hide()
  $(page).show()

}

Which is code I'm guessing you've copy-pasted from somewhere but at the moment doesn't really do anything. If you don't know Javascript, going with another library that actually does pagination of a table is something you probably want to do.

efficient way to implement paging

You can implement paging in this simple way by passing PageIndex

Declare @PageIndex INT = 1
Declare  @PageSize INT = 20

Select ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY Products.Name ASC )  AS RowNumber,
    Products.ID,
    Products.Name
into #Result 
From Products

SELECT @RecordCount = COUNT(*) FROM #Results 

SELECT * 
FROM #Results
WHERE RowNumber
BETWEEN
    (@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1 
    AND
    (((@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1) + @PageSize) - 1

Laravel Pagination links not including other GET parameters

LARAVEL 5

The view must contain something like:

{!! $myItems->appends(Input::except('page'))->render() !!}

how to implement Pagination in reactJs

I recently created this Pagination component that implements paging logic like Google's search results:

import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
 
const propTypes = {
    items: PropTypes.array.isRequired,
    onChangePage: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
    initialPage: PropTypes.number   
}
 
const defaultProps = {
    initialPage: 1
}
 
class Pagination extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = { pager: {} };
    }
 
    componentWillMount() {
        this.setPage(this.props.initialPage);
    }
 
    setPage(page) {
        var items = this.props.items;
        var pager = this.state.pager;
 
        if (page < 1 || page > pager.totalPages) {
            return;
        }
 
        // get new pager object for specified page
        pager = this.getPager(items.length, page);
 
        // get new page of items from items array
        var pageOfItems = items.slice(pager.startIndex, pager.endIndex + 1);
 
        // update state
        this.setState({ pager: pager });
 
        // call change page function in parent component
        this.props.onChangePage(pageOfItems);
    }
 
    getPager(totalItems, currentPage, pageSize) {
        // default to first page
        currentPage = currentPage || 1;
 
        // default page size is 10
        pageSize = pageSize || 10;
 
        // calculate total pages
        var totalPages = Math.ceil(totalItems / pageSize);
 
        var startPage, endPage;
        if (totalPages <= 10) {
            // less than 10 total pages so show all
            startPage = 1;
            endPage = totalPages;
        } else {
            // more than 10 total pages so calculate start and end pages
            if (currentPage <= 6) {
                startPage = 1;
                endPage = 10;
            } else if (currentPage + 4 >= totalPages) {
                startPage = totalPages - 9;
                endPage = totalPages;
            } else {
                startPage = currentPage - 5;
                endPage = currentPage + 4;
            }
        }
 
        // calculate start and end item indexes
        var startIndex = (currentPage - 1) * pageSize;
        var endIndex = Math.min(startIndex + pageSize - 1, totalItems - 1);
 
        // create an array of pages to ng-repeat in the pager control
        var pages = _.range(startPage, endPage + 1);
 
        // return object with all pager properties required by the view
        return {
            totalItems: totalItems,
            currentPage: currentPage,
            pageSize: pageSize,
            totalPages: totalPages,
            startPage: startPage,
            endPage: endPage,
            startIndex: startIndex,
            endIndex: endIndex,
            pages: pages
        };
    }
 
    render() {
        var pager = this.state.pager;
 
        return (
            <ul className="pagination">
                <li className={pager.currentPage === 1 ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(1)}>First</a>
                </li>
                <li className={pager.currentPage === 1 ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(pager.currentPage - 1)}>Previous</a>
                </li>
                {pager.pages.map((page, index) =>
                    <li key={index} className={pager.currentPage === page ? 'active' : ''}>
                        <a onClick={() => this.setPage(page)}>{page}</a>
                    </li>
                )}
                <li className={pager.currentPage === pager.totalPages ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(pager.currentPage + 1)}>Next</a>
                </li>
                <li className={pager.currentPage === pager.totalPages ? 'disabled' : ''}>
                    <a onClick={() => this.setPage(pager.totalPages)}>Last</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        );
    }
}
 
Pagination.propTypes = propTypes;
Pagination.defaultProps
export default Pagination;

And here's an example App component that uses the Pagination component to paginate a list of 150 example items:

import React from 'react';
import Pagination from './Pagination';
 
class App extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
 
        // an example array of items to be paged
        var exampleItems = _.range(1, 151).map(i => { return { id: i, name: 'Item ' + i }; });
 
        this.state = {
            exampleItems: exampleItems,
            pageOfItems: []
        };
 
        // bind function in constructor instead of render (https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/master/docs/rules/jsx-no-bind.md)
        this.onChangePage = this.onChangePage.bind(this);
    }
 
    onChangePage(pageOfItems) {
        // update state with new page of items
        this.setState({ pageOfItems: pageOfItems });
    }
 
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <div className="container">
                    <div className="text-center">
                        <h1>React - Pagination Example with logic like Google</h1>
                        {this.state.pageOfItems.map(item =>
                            <div key={item.id}>{item.name}</div>
                        )}
                        <Pagination items={this.state.exampleItems} onChangePage={this.onChangePage} />
                    </div>
                </div>
                <hr />
                <div className="credits text-center">
                    <p>
                        <a href="http://jasonwatmore.com" target="_top">JasonWatmore.com</a>
                    </p>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}
 
export default App;

How do I limit the number of rows returned by an Oracle query after ordering?

You can use a subquery for this like

select *
from  
( select * 
  from emp 
  order by sal desc ) 
where ROWNUM <= 5;

Have also a look at the topic On ROWNUM and limiting results at Oracle/AskTom for more information.

Update: To limit the result with both lower and upper bounds things get a bit more bloated with

select * from 
( select a.*, ROWNUM rnum from 
  ( <your_query_goes_here, with order by> ) a 
  where ROWNUM <= :MAX_ROW_TO_FETCH )
where rnum  >= :MIN_ROW_TO_FETCH;

(Copied from specified AskTom-article)

Update 2: Starting with Oracle 12c (12.1) there is a syntax available to limit rows or start at offsets.

SELECT * 
FROM   sometable
ORDER BY name
OFFSET 20 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY;

See this answer for more examples. Thanks to Krumia for the hint.

Java inbuilt libraries support only AIFC, AIFF, AU, SND and WAVE formats. Here I only discussed playing an audio file using Clip only and see the various methods of a clip.

  1. Create a main class PlayAudio.java.
  2. Create helper class Audio.java.

PlayAudio.java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException;
public class PlayAudio {
public static void main(String[] args) throws 
UnsupportedAudioFileException, IOException, 
LineUnavailableException {

    PlayMp3 playMp3;
    playMp3=new PlayMp3();


    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    while (true) {
        System.out.println("Enter Choice :-");
        System.out.println("1. Play");
        System.out.println("2. pause");
        System.out.println("3. resume");
        System.out.println("4. restart");
        System.out.println("5. stop");

        System.out.println(PlayMp3.status);
        System.out.println(":::- ");
        int c = sc.nextInt();

        if (c ==5){

            playMp3.stop();
            break;
        }

        switch (c) {
            case 1:
                playMp3.play();
                break;
            case 2:
                playMp3.pause();
                break;
            case 3:
                playMp3.resume();
                break;
            case 4:
                playMp3.restart();
                break;
            case 5:
                playMp3.stop();
            default:
                System.out.println("Please Enter Valid Option :-");

        }
    }
    sc.close();
   }
}

How to use sed/grep to extract text between two words?

The accepted answer does not remove text that could be before Here or after String. This will:

sed -e 's/.*Here\(.*\)String.*/\1/'

The main difference is the addition of .* immediately before Here and after String.

Convert form data to JavaScript object with jQuery

Use:

function form_to_json (selector) {
  var ary = $(selector).serializeArray();
  var obj = {};
  for (var a = 0; a < ary.length; a++) obj[ary[a].name] = ary[a].value;
  return obj;
}

Output:

{"myfield": "myfield value", "passwordfield": "mypasswordvalue"}

Detect change to selected date with bootstrap-datepicker

Here is my code for that:

$('#date-daily').datepicker().on('changeDate', function(e) {
    //$('#other-input').val(e.format(0,"dd/mm/yyyy"));
    //alert(e.date);
    //alert(e.format(0,"dd/mm/yyyy"));
    //console.log(e.date); 
});

Just uncomment the one you prefer. The first option changes the value of other input element. The second one alerts the date with datepicker default format. The third one alerts the date with your own custom format. The last option outputs to log (default format date).

It's your choice to use the e.date , e.dates (for múltiple date input) or e.format(...).

Is there any good dynamic SQL builder library in Java?

I can recommend jOOQ. It provides a lot of great features, also a intuitive DSL for SQL and a extremly customable reverse-engineering approach.

jOOQ effectively combines complex SQL, typesafety, source code generation, active records, stored procedures, advanced data types, and Java in a fluent, intuitive DSL.

LogCat message: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included

As for me I've solved this problem by next way - as developer.android.com says, after adding google-play-services_lib you should add <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> in your manifest, but on the new SDK you'll always get an error:

Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/ google_play_services_version').

To solve that error many people advise to use a raw value, 4030500, instead of @integer/google_play_services_version, but it is correct ONLY for Google services revision 13.

If you use any older version or version for Froyo (like me) you should put another value in it. To know what value you should put just open a Google Play services manifest and copy-paste a version_code value. For Froyo services, it is 3265130. After adding this I've stopped getting this error, and I've began to receive coordinates in my application at last.

How to install PyQt5 on Windows?

To install the GPL version of PyQt5, run (see PyQt5 Project):

pip3 install pyqt5

This will install the Python wheel for your platform and your version of Python (assuming both are supported).

(The wheel will be automatically downloaded from the Python Package Index.)

The PyQt5 wheel includes the necessary parts of the LGPL version of Qt. There is no need to install Qt yourself.

(The required sip is packaged as a separate wheel and will be downloaded and installed automatically.)


Note:

If you get an error message saying something as

No downloads could be found that satisfy the requirement 

then you are probably using an unsupported version of Python.

border-radius not working

you may include bootstrap to your html file and you put it under the style file so if you do that bootstrap file will override the style file briefly like this

     // style file
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" />
     // bootstrap file
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css" />

the right way is this

    // bootstrap file
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css" />
    // style file
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" />

How do I resolve "Please make sure that the file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component"?

Look here for the answer by TheMattster. I implemented it and it worked like a charm. In a nutshell, his solution suggests to add the COM dll as a resource to the project (so now it compiles into the project's dll), and upon the first run write it to a file (i.e. the dll file I wanted there in the first place).

The following is taken from his answer.

Step 1) Add the DLL as a resource (below as "Resources.DllFile"). To do this open project properties, select the resources tab, select "add existing file" and add the DLL as a resource.

Step 2) Add the name of the DLL as a string resource (below as "Resources.DllName").

Step 3) Add this code to your main form-load:

if (!File.Exists(Properties.Resources.DllName))
{
    var outStream = new StreamWriter(Properties.Resources.DllName, false);
    var binStream = new BinaryWriter(outStream.BaseStream);
    binStream.Write(Properties.Resources.DllFile);
    binStream.Close();
}

My problem was that not only I had to use the COM dll in my project, I also had to deploy it with my app using ClickOnce, and without being able to add reference to it in my project the above solution is practically the only one that worked.

How do I terminate a thread in C++11?

  1. You could call std::terminate() from any thread and the thread you're referring to will forcefully end.

  2. You could arrange for ~thread() to be executed on the object of the target thread, without a intervening join() nor detach() on that object. This will have the same effect as option 1.

  3. You could design an exception which has a destructor which throws an exception. And then arrange for the target thread to throw this exception when it is to be forcefully terminated. The tricky part on this one is getting the target thread to throw this exception.

Options 1 and 2 don't leak intra-process resources, but they terminate every thread.

Option 3 will probably leak resources, but is partially cooperative in that the target thread has to agree to throw the exception.

There is no portable way in C++11 (that I'm aware of) to non-cooperatively kill a single thread in a multi-thread program (i.e. without killing all threads). There was no motivation to design such a feature.

A std::thread may have this member function:

native_handle_type native_handle();

You might be able to use this to call an OS-dependent function to do what you want. For example on Apple's OS's, this function exists and native_handle_type is a pthread_t. If you are successful, you are likely to leak resources.

Difference between Iterator and Listiterator?

Iterator is super class of ListIterator.

Here are the differences between them:

  1. With iterator you can move only forward, but with ListIterator you can move backword also while reading the elements.
  2. With ListIterator you can obtain the index at any point while traversing, which is not possible with iterators.
  3. With iterator you can check only for next element available or not, but in listiterator you can check previous and next elements.
  4. With listiterator you can add new element at any point of time, while traversing. Not possible with iterator.
  5. With listiterator you can modify an element while traversing, which is not possible with iterator.

Iterator look and feel:

 public interface Iterator<E> {
    boolean hasNext();
    E next();
    void remove(); //optional-->use only once with next(), 
                         dont use it when u use for:each
    }

ListIterator look and feel:

public interface ListIterator<E> extends Iterator<E> {
    boolean hasNext();
    E next();
    boolean hasPrevious();
    E previous();
    int nextIndex();
    int previousIndex();
    void remove(); //optional
    void set(E e); //optional
    void add(E e); //optional
}

Persist javascript variables across pages?

I recommend web storage. Example:

// Storing the data: localStorage.setItem("variableName","Text"); // Receiving the data: localStorage.getItem("variableName");

Just replace variable with your variable name and text with what you want to store. According to W3Schools, it's better than cookies.

How to SUM and SUBTRACT using SQL?

I think this is what you're looking for. NEW_BAL is the sum of QTYs subtracted from the balance:

SELECT   master_table.ORDERNO,
         master_table.ITEM,
         SUM(master_table.QTY),
         stock_bal.BAL_QTY,
         (stock_bal.BAL_QTY - SUM(master_table.QTY)) AS NEW_BAL
FROM     master_table INNER JOIN
         stock_bal ON master_bal.ITEM = stock_bal.ITEM
GROUP BY master_table.ORDERNO,
         master_table.ITEM

If you want to update the item balance with the new balance, use the following:

UPDATE stock_bal
SET    BAL_QTY = BAL_QTY - (SELECT   SUM(QTY)
                            FROM     master_table
                            GROUP BY master_table.ORDERNO,
                                     master_table.ITEM)

This assumes you posted the subtraction backward; it subtracts the quantities in the order from the balance, which makes the most sense without knowing more about your tables. Just swap those two to change it if I was wrong:

(SUM(master_table.QTY) - stock_bal.BAL_QTY) AS NEW_BAL

What's causing my java.net.SocketException: Connection reset?

I get this error all the time and consider it normal.

It happens when one side tries to read when the other side has already hung up. Thus depending on the protocol this may or may not designate a problem. If my client code specifically indicates to the server that it is going to hang up, then both client and server can hang up at the same time and this message would not happen.

The way I implement my code is for the client to just hang up without saying goodbye. The server can then catch the error and ignore it. In the context of HTTP, I believe one level of the protocol allows more then one request per connection while the other doesn't.

Thus you can see how potentially one side could keep hanging up on the other. I doubt the error you are receiving is of any piratical concern and you could simply catch it to keep it from filling up your log files.

Add a column with a default value to an existing table in SQL Server

This can be done by the below code.

    ------------------------------
    -- Adding New Column
    ALTER TABLE TestTable
    ADD SecondCol INT
    GO
    -- Updating it with Default
    UPDATE TestTable
    SET SecondCol = 0
    GO
    -- Alter
    ALTER TABLE TestTable
    ALTER COLUMN SecondCol INT NOT NULL
    GO

C error: undefined reference to function, but it IS defined

I had this issue recently. In my case, I had my IDE set to choose which compiler (C or C++) to use on each file according to its extension, and I was trying to call a C function (i.e. from a .c file) from C++ code.

The .h file for the C function wasn't wrapped in this sort of guard:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

// all of your legacy C code here

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

I could've added that, but I didn't want to modify it, so I just included it in my C++ file like so:

extern "C" {
#include "legacy_C_header.h"
}

(Hat tip to UncaAlby for his clear explanation of the effect of extern "C".)

Increase max_execution_time in PHP?

Theres a setting max_input_time (on Apache) for many webservers that defines how long they will wait for post data, regardless of the size. If this time runs out the connection is closed without even touching the php.

So your problem is not necessarily solvable with php only but you will need to change the server settings too.

Excel date to Unix timestamp

Because my edits to the above were rejected (did any of you actually try?), here's what you really need to make this work:

Windows (And Mac Office 2011+):

  • Unix Timestamp = (Excel Timestamp - 25569) * 86400
  • Excel Timestamp = (Unix Timestamp / 86400) + 25569

MAC OS X (pre Office 2011):

  • Unix Timestamp = (Excel Timestamp - 24107) * 86400
  • Excel Timestamp = (Unix Timestamp / 86400) + 24107

static function in C

pmg is spot on about encapsulation; beyond hiding the function from other translation units (or rather, because of it), making functions static can also confer performance benefits in the presence of compiler optimizations.

Because a static function cannot be called from anywhere outside of the current translation unit (unless the code takes a pointer to its address), the compiler controls all the call points into it.

This means that it is free to use a non-standard ABI, inline it entirely, or perform any number of other optimizations that might not be possible for a function with external linkage.

How to run a cronjob every X minutes?

In a crontab file, the fields are:

  • minute of the hour.
  • hour of the day.
  • day of the month.
  • month of the year.
  • day of the week.

So:

10 * * * * blah

means execute blah at 10 minutes past every hour.

If you want every five minutes, use either:

*/5 * * * * blah

meaning every minute but only every fifth one, or:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * blah

for older cron executables that don't understand the */x notation.

If it still seems to be not working after that, change the command to something like:

date >>/tmp/debug_cron_pax.txt

and monitor that file to ensure something's being written every five minutes. If so, there's something wrong with your PHP scripts. If not, there's something wrong with your cron daemon.

HTTP Content-Type Header and JSON

The Content-Type header is just used as info for your application. The browser doesn't care what it is. The browser just returns you the data from the AJAX call. If you want to parse it as JSON, you need to do that on your own.

The header is there so your app can detect what data was returned and how it should handle it. You need to look at the header, and if it's application/json then parse it as JSON.

This is actually how jQuery works. If you don't tell it what to do with the result, it uses the Content-Type to detect what to do with it.

Convert ArrayList<String> to String[] array

The correct way to do this is:

String[] stockArr = stock_list.toArray(new String[stock_list.size()]);

I'd like to add to the other great answers here and explain how you could have used the Javadocs to answer your question.

The Javadoc for toArray() (no arguments) is here. As you can see, this method returns an Object[] and not String[] which is an array of the runtime type of your list:

public Object[] toArray()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection. If the collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order. The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by the collection. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if the collection is backed by an Array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

Right below that method, though, is the Javadoc for toArray(T[] a). As you can see, this method returns a T[] where T is the type of the array you pass in. At first this seems like what you're looking for, but it's unclear exactly why you're passing in an array (are you adding to it, using it for just the type, etc). The documentation makes it clear that the purpose of the passed array is essentially to define the type of array to return (which is exactly your use case):

public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the collection fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this collection. If the collection fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the collection), the element in the array immediately following the end of the collection is set to null. This is useful in determining the length of the collection only if the caller knows that the collection does not contain any null elements.)

If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.

This implementation checks if the array is large enough to contain the collection; if not, it allocates a new array of the correct size and type (using reflection). Then, it iterates over the collection, storing each object reference in the next consecutive element of the array, starting with element 0. If the array is larger than the collection, a null is stored in the first location after the end of the collection.

Of course, an understanding of generics (as described in the other answers) is required to really understand the difference between these two methods. Nevertheless, if you first go to the Javadocs, you will usually find your answer and then see for yourself what else you need to learn (if you really do).

Also note that reading the Javadocs here helps you to understand what the structure of the array you pass in should be. Though it may not really practically matter, you should not pass in an empty array like this:

String [] stockArr = stockList.toArray(new String[0]);  

Because, from the doc, this implementation checks if the array is large enough to contain the collection; if not, it allocates a new array of the correct size and type (using reflection). There's no need for the extra overhead in creating a new array when you could easily pass in the size.

As is usually the case, the Javadocs provide you with a wealth of information and direction.

Hey wait a minute, what's reflection?

Insert data into a view (SQL Server)

Inserting 'test' to name will lead to inserting NULL values to other columns of the base table which wont be correct as Id is a PRIMARY KEY and it cannot have NULL value.

Is there a mechanism to loop x times in ES6 (ECMAScript 6) without mutable variables?

Here is another good alternative:

Array.from({ length: 3}).map(...);

Preferably, as @Dave Morse pointed out in the comments, you can also get rid of the map call, by using the second parameter of the Array.from function like so:

Array.from({ length: 3 }, () => (...))

Access IP Camera in Python OpenCV

The easiest way to stream video via IP Camera !

I just edit your example. You must replace your IP and add /video on your link. And go ahead with your project

import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture('http://192.168.18.37:8090/video')

while(True):
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        cv2.destroyAllWindows()

How to start up spring-boot application via command line?

One of the ways that you can run your spring-boot application from command line is as follows :

1) First go to your project directory in command line [where is your project located ?]

2) Then in the next step you have to create jar file for that, this can be done as

mvnw package [for WINDOWS OS ] or ./mvnw package [for MAC OS] , this will create jar file for our application.

3) jar file is created in the target sub-directory

4)Now go to target sub directory as jar was created inside of it , i.e cd target

5) Now run the jar file in there. Use command java -jar name.jar [ name is the name of your created jar file.]

and there you go , you are done . Now you can run project in browser,

 http://localhost:port_number

MySQL InnoDB not releasing disk space after deleting data rows from table

Other way to solve the problem of space reclaiming is, Create multiple partitions within table - Range based, Value based partitions and just drop/truncate the partition to reclaim the space, which will release the space used by whole data stored in the particular partition.

There will be some changes needed in table schema when you introduce the partitioning for your table like - Unique Keys, Indexes to include partition column etc.

Why es6 react component works only with "export default"?

Add { } while importing and exporting: export { ... }; | import { ... } from './Template';

exportimport { ... } from './Template'

export defaultimport ... from './Template'


Here is a working example:

// ExportExample.js
import React from "react";

function DefaultExport() {
  return "This is the default export";
}

function Export1() {
  return "Export without default 1";
}

function Export2() {

What's the best way to detect a 'touch screen' device using JavaScript?

Update: Please read blmstr's answer below before pulling a whole feature detection library into your project. Detecting actual touch support is more complex, and Modernizr only covers a basic use case.

Modernizr is a great, lightweight way to do all kinds of feature detection on any site.

It simply adds classes to the html element for each feature.

You can then target those features easily in CSS and JS. For example:

html.touch div {
    width: 480px;
}

html.no-touch div {
    width: auto;
}

And Javascript (jQuery example):

$('html.touch #popup').hide();

convert ArrayList<MyCustomClass> to JSONArray

I know its already answered, but theres a better solution here use this code :

for ( Field f : context.getFields() ) {
     if ( f.getType() == String.class ) || ( f.getType() == String.class ) ) {
           //DO String To JSON
     }
     /// And so on...
}

This way you can access variables from class without manually typing them..

Faster and better .. Hope this helps.

Cheers. :D

Invalid self signed SSL cert - "Subject Alternative Name Missing"

To fix this, you need to supply an extra parameter to openssl when you're creating the cert, basically

-sha256 -extfile v3.ext

where v3.ext is a file like so, with %%DOMAIN%% replaced with the same name you use as your Common Name. More info here and over here. Note that typically you'd set the Common Name and %%DOMAIN%% to the domain you're trying to generate a cert for. So if it was www.mysupersite.com, then you'd use that for both.

v3.ext

authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1 = %%DOMAIN%%

Note: Scripts that address this issue, and create fully trusted ssl certs for use in Chrome, Safari and from Java clients can be found here

Another note: If all you're trying to do is stop chrome from throwing errors when viewing a self signed certificate, you can can tell Chrome to ignore all SSL errors for ALL sites by starting it with a special command line option, as detailed here on SuperUser

How can I disable all views inside the layout?

Actully what work for me is:

How to add a class with React.js?

Since you already have <Tags> component calling a function on its parent, you do not need additional state: simply pass the filter to the <Tags> component as a prop, and use this in rendering your buttons. Like so:

Change your render function inside your <Tags> component to:

render: function() {
  return <div className = "tags">
    <button className = {this._checkActiveBtn('')} onClick = {this.setFilter.bind(this, '')}>All</button>
    <button className = {this._checkActiveBtn('male')} onClick = {this.setFilter.bind(this, 'male')}>male</button>
    <button className = {this._checkActiveBtn('female')} onClick = {this.setFilter.bind(this, 'female')}>female</button>
    <button className = {this._checkActiveBtn('blonde')} onClick = {this.setFilter.bind(this, 'blonde')}>blonde</button>
  </div>
},

And add a function inside <Tags>:

_checkActiveBtn: function(filterName) {
  return (filterName == this.props.activeFilter) ? "btn active" : "btn";
}

And inside your <List> component, pass the filter state to the <tags> component as a prop:

return <div>
  <h2>Kids Finder</h2> 
  <Tags filter = {this.state.filter} onChangeFilter = {this.changeFilter} />
  {list}
</div>

Then it should work as intended. Codepen here (hope the link works)

How can I make a checkbox readonly? not disabled?

None of the above worked for me. Here's my vanilla.js solution:

(function() {
    function handleSubmit(event) {
        var form = event.target;
        var nodes = form.querySelectorAll("input[disabled]");
        for (var node of nodes) {
            node.disabled = false;
        }
    }

    function init() {
        var submit_form_tag = document.getElementById('new_whatever');
        submit_form_tag.addEventListener('submit', handleSubmit, true);
    }

    window.onload = init_beworst;

})();

Be sure to provide an appropriate replacement for the form id.

My application has a bit of context, where some boxes are pre-checked, and others you have a limit of how many of the other boxes you can check. When you hit that limit, all the non-pre-checked boxes are disabled, and if you uncheck one all the non-pre-checked boxes are enabled again. When the user presses submit all the checked boxes are submitted to the user, regardless of whether they're pre-checked or not.

C: What is the difference between ++i and i++?

Here is the example to understand the difference

int i=10;
printf("%d %d",i++,++i);

output: 10 12/11 11 (depending on the order of evaluation of arguments to the printf function, which varies across compilers and architectures)

Explanation: i++->i is printed, and then increments. (Prints 10, but i will become 11) ++i->i value increments and prints the value. (Prints 12, and the value of i also 12)

How do I rotate text in css?

In your case, it's the best to use rotate option from transform property as mentioned before. There is also writing-mode property and it works like rotate(90deg) so in your case, it should be rotated after it's applied. Even it's not the right solution in this case but you should be aware of this property.

Example:

writing-mode:vertical-rl;

How do I implement JQuery.noConflict() ?

If you look at the examples on the api page there is this: Example: Creates a different alias instead of jQuery to use in the rest of the script.

var j = jQuery.noConflict();
// Do something with jQuery
j("div p").hide();
// Do something with another library's $()
$("content").style.display = 'none';

Put the var j = jQuery.noConflict() after you bring in jquery and then bring in the conflicting scripts. You can then use the j in place of $ for all your jquery needs and use the $ for the other script.

How can I rename column in laravel using migration?

You need to create another migration file - and place it in there:

Run

Laravel 4:    php artisan migrate:make rename_stnk_column
Laravel 5:    php artisan make:migration rename_stnk_column

Then inside the new migration file place:

class RenameStnkColumn extends Migration
{

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('stnk', function(Blueprint $table) {
            $table->renameColumn('id', 'id_stnk');
        });
    }


    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('stnk', function(Blueprint $table) {
            $table->renameColumn('id_stnk', 'id');
        });
    }

}

JSHint and jQuery: '$' is not defined

Instead of recommending the usual "turn off the JSHint globals", I recommend using the module pattern to fix this problem. It keeps your code "contained" and gives a performance boost (based on Paul Irish's "10 things I learned about Jquery").

I tend to write my module patterns like this:

(function (window) {
    // Handle dependencies
    var angular = window.angular,
        $ = window.$,
        document = window.document;

    // Your application's code
}(window))

You can get these other performance benefits (explained more here):

  • When minifying code, the passed in window object declaration gets minified as well. e.g. window.alert() become m.alert().
  • Code inside the self-executing anonymous function only uses 1 instance of the window object.
  • You cut to the chase when calling in a window property or method, preventing expensive traversal of the scope chain e.g. window.alert() (faster) versus alert() (slower) performance.
  • Local scope of functions through "namespacing" and containment (globals are evil). If you need to break up this code into separate scripts, you can make a submodule for each of those scripts, and have them imported into one main module.

How to achieve ripple animation using support library?

Sometimes you have a custom background, in that cases a better solution is use android:foreground="?selectableItemBackground"

Update

If you want ripple effect with rounded corners and custom background you can use this:

background_ripple.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:color="@color/ripple_color">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
        <corners android:radius="5dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:id="@android:id/background">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
        <corners android:radius="5dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

layout.xml

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_play"
    android:background="@drawable/background_ripple"
    app:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/play_now" />

How to use Scanner to accept only valid int as input

  1. the condition num2 < num1 should be num2 <= num1 if num2 has to be greater than num1
  2. not knowing what the kb object is, I'd read a String and then trying Integer.parseInt() and if you don't catch an exception then it's a number, if you do, read a new one, maybe by setting num2 to Integer.MIN_VALUE and using the same type of logic in your example.

Set HTML element's style property in javascript

Don't set the style object itself, set the background color property of the style object that is a property of the element.

And yes, even though you said no, jquery and tablesorter with its zebra stripe plugin can do this all for you in 3 lines of code.

And just setting the class attribute would be better since then you have non-hard-coded control over the styling which is more organized

Skip the headers when editing a csv file using Python

Inspired by Martijn Pieters' response.

In case you only need to delete the header from the csv file, you can work more efficiently if you write using the standard Python file I/O library, avoiding writing with the CSV Python library:

with open("tmob_notcleaned.csv", "rb") as infile, open("tmob_cleaned.csv", "wb") as outfile:
   next(infile)  # skip the headers
   outfile.write(infile.read())

Getting random numbers in Java

int max = 50;
int min = 1;

1. Using Math.random()

double random = Math.random() * 49 + 1;
or
int random = (int )(Math.random() * 50 + 1);

This will give you value from 1 to 50 in case of int or 1.0 (inclusive) to 50.0 (exclusive) in case of double

Why?

random() method returns a random number between 0.0 and 0.9..., you multiply it by 50, so upper limit becomes 0.0 to 49.999... when you add 1, it becomes 1.0 to 50.999..., now when you truncate to int, you get 1 to 50. (thanks to @rup in comments). leepoint's awesome write-up on both the approaches.

2. Using Random class in Java.

Random rand = new Random(); 
int value = rand.nextInt(50); 

This will give value from 0 to 49.

For 1 to 50: rand.nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min;

Passing 'this' to an onclick event

In JavaScript this always refers to the “owner” of the function we're executing, or rather, to the object that a function is a method of. When we define our faithful function doSomething() in a page, its owner is the page, or rather, the window object (or global object) of JavaScript.

How does the "this" keyword work?

Why is "1000000000000000 in range(1000000000000001)" so fast in Python 3?

The fundamental misunderstanding here is in thinking that range is a generator. It's not. In fact, it's not any kind of iterator.

You can tell this pretty easily:

>>> a = range(5)
>>> print(list(a))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> print(list(a))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

If it were a generator, iterating it once would exhaust it:

>>> b = my_crappy_range(5)
>>> print(list(b))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> print(list(b))
[]

What range actually is, is a sequence, just like a list. You can even test this:

>>> import collections.abc
>>> isinstance(a, collections.abc.Sequence)
True

This means it has to follow all the rules of being a sequence:

>>> a[3]         # indexable
3
>>> len(a)       # sized
5
>>> 3 in a       # membership
True
>>> reversed(a)  # reversible
<range_iterator at 0x101cd2360>
>>> a.index(3)   # implements 'index'
3
>>> a.count(3)   # implements 'count'
1

The difference between a range and a list is that a range is a lazy or dynamic sequence; it doesn't remember all of its values, it just remembers its start, stop, and step, and creates the values on demand on __getitem__.

(As a side note, if you print(iter(a)), you'll notice that range uses the same listiterator type as list. How does that work? A listiterator doesn't use anything special about list except for the fact that it provides a C implementation of __getitem__, so it works fine for range too.)


Now, there's nothing that says that Sequence.__contains__ has to be constant time—in fact, for obvious examples of sequences like list, it isn't. But there's nothing that says it can't be. And it's easier to implement range.__contains__ to just check it mathematically ((val - start) % step, but with some extra complexity to deal with negative steps) than to actually generate and test all the values, so why shouldn't it do it the better way?

But there doesn't seem to be anything in the language that guarantees this will happen. As Ashwini Chaudhari points out, if you give it a non-integral value, instead of converting to integer and doing the mathematical test, it will fall back to iterating all the values and comparing them one by one. And just because CPython 3.2+ and PyPy 3.x versions happen to contain this optimization, and it's an obvious good idea and easy to do, there's no reason that IronPython or NewKickAssPython 3.x couldn't leave it out. (And in fact CPython 3.0-3.1 didn't include it.)


If range actually were a generator, like my_crappy_range, then it wouldn't make sense to test __contains__ this way, or at least the way it makes sense wouldn't be obvious. If you'd already iterated the first 3 values, is 1 still in the generator? Should testing for 1 cause it to iterate and consume all the values up to 1 (or up to the first value >= 1)?

Which is a better way to check if an array has more than one element?

I assume $arr is an array then this is what you are looking for

if ( sizeof($arr) > 1) ...

Constructor of an abstract class in C#

Defining a constructor with public or internal storage class in an inheritable concrete class Thing effectively defines two methods:

  • A method (which I'll call InitializeThing) which acts upon this, has no return value, and can only be called from Thing's CreateThing and InitializeThing methods, and subclasses' InitializeXXX methods.

  • A method (which I'll call CreateThing) which returns an object of the constructor's designated type, and essentially behaves as:

    Thing CreateThing(int whatever)
    {
        Thing result = AllocateObject<Thing>();
        Thing.initializeThing(whatever);
    }
    

Abstract classes effectively create methods of only the first form. Conceptually, there's no reason why the two "methods" described above should need to have the same access specifiers; in practice, however, there's no way to specify their accessibility differently. Note that in terms of actual implementation, at least in .NET, CreateThing isn't really implemented as a callable method, but instead represents a code sequence which gets inserted at a newThing = new Thing(23); statement.

What is the most efficient way to store a list in the Django models?

Excel VBA Macro: User Defined Type Not Defined

Your error is caused by these:

Dim oTable As Table, oRow As Row,

These types, Table and Row are not variable types native to Excel. You can resolve this in one of two ways:

  1. Include a reference to the Microsoft Word object model. Do this from Tools | References, then add reference to MS Word. While not strictly necessary, you may like to fully qualify the objects like Dim oTable as Word.Table, oRow as Word.Row. This is called early-binding. enter image description here
  2. Alternatively, to use late-binding method, you must declare the objects as generic Object type: Dim oTable as Object, oRow as Object. With this method, you do not need to add the reference to Word, but you also lose the intellisense assistance in the VBE.

I have not tested your code but I suspect ActiveDocument won't work in Excel with method #2, unless you properly scope it to an instance of a Word.Application object. I don't see that anywhere in the code you have provided. An example would be like:

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()
Dim wdApp as Object
Dim oTable As Object, As Object, _
TextInRow As Boolean, i As Long

Set wdApp = GetObject(,"Word.Application")

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each oTable In wdApp.ActiveDocument.Tables

Install numpy on python3.3 - Install pip for python3

In the solution below I used python3.4 as binary, but it's safe to use with any version or binary of python. it works fine on windows too (except the downloading pip with wget obviously but just save the file locally and run it with python).

This is great if you have multiple versions of python installed, so you can manage external libraries per python version.

So first, I'd recommend get-pip.py, it's great to install pip :

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

Then you need to install pip for your version of python, I have python3.4 so for me this is the command :

python3.4 get-pip.py

Now pip is installed for python3.4 and in order to get libraries for python3.4 one need to call it within this version, like this :

python3.4 -m pip

So if you want to install numpy you would use :

python3.4 -m pip install numpy

Note that numpy is quite the heavy library. I thought my system was hanging and failing. But using the verbose option, you can see that the system is fine :

python3.4 -m pip install numpy -v

This may tell you that you lack python.h but you can easily get it :

On RHEL (Red hat, CentOS, Fedora) it would be something like this :

yum install python34-devel

On debian-like (Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, ...) :

apt-get install python34-dev

Then rerun this :

python3.4 -m pip install numpy -v

CakePHP find method with JOIN

There are two main ways that you can do this. One of them is the standard CakePHP way, and the other is using a custom join.

It's worth pointing out that this advice is for CakePHP 2.x, not 3.x.

The CakePHP Way

You would create a relationship with your User model and Messages Model, and use the containable behavior:

class User extends AppModel {
    public $actsAs = array('Containable');
    public $hasMany = array('Message');
}

class Message extends AppModel {
    public $actsAs = array('Containable');
    public $belongsTo = array('User');
}

You need to change the messages.from column to be messages.user_id so that cake can automagically associate the records for you.

Then you can do this from the messages controller:

$this->Message->find('all', array(
    'contain' => array('User')
    'conditions' => array(
        'Message.to' => 4
    ),
    'order' => 'Message.datetime DESC'
));

The (other) CakePHP way

I recommend using the first method, because it will save you a lot of time and work. The first method also does the groundwork of setting up a relationship which can be used for any number of other find calls and conditions besides the one you need now. However, cakePHP does support a syntax for defining your own joins. It would be done like this, from the MessagesController:

$this->Message->find('all', array(
    'joins' => array(
        array(
            'table' => 'users',
            'alias' => 'UserJoin',
            'type' => 'INNER',
            'conditions' => array(
                'UserJoin.id = Message.from'
            )
        )
    ),
    'conditions' => array(
        'Message.to' => 4
    ),
    'fields' => array('UserJoin.*', 'Message.*'),
    'order' => 'Message.datetime DESC'
));

Note, I've left the field name messages.from the same as your current table in this example.

Using two relationships to the same model

Here is how you can do the first example using two relationships to the same model:

class User extends AppModel {
    public $actsAs = array('Containable');
    public $hasMany = array(
        'MessagesSent' => array(
            'className'  => 'Message',
            'foreignKey' => 'from'
         )
    );
    public $belongsTo = array(
        'MessagesReceived' => array(
            'className'  => 'Message',
            'foreignKey' => 'to'
         )
    );
}

class Message extends AppModel {
    public $actsAs = array('Containable');
    public $belongsTo = array(
        'UserFrom' => array(
            'className'  => 'User',
            'foreignKey' => 'from'
        )
    );
    public $hasMany = array(
        'UserTo' => array(
            'className'  => 'User',
            'foreignKey' => 'to'
        )
    );
}

Now you can do your find call like this:

$this->Message->find('all', array(
    'contain' => array('UserFrom')
    'conditions' => array(
        'Message.to' => 4
    ),
    'order' => 'Message.datetime DESC'
));

Trigger validation of all fields in Angular Form submit

Based on Thilak's answer I was able to come up with this solution...

Since my form fields only show validation messages if a field is invalid, and has been touched by the user I was able to use this code triggered by a button to show my invalid fields:

_x000D_
_x000D_
// Show/trigger any validation errors for this step_x000D_
angular.forEach(vm.rfiForm.stepTwo.$error, function(error) {_x000D_
  angular.forEach(error, function(field) {_x000D_
    field.$setTouched();_x000D_
  });_x000D_
});_x000D_
// Prevent user from going to next step if current step is invalid_x000D_
if (!vm.rfiForm.stepTwo.$valid) {_x000D_
  isValid = false;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<!-- form field -->_x000D_
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error': rfi.rfiForm.stepTwo.Parent_Suffix__c.$touched && rfi.rfiForm.stepTwo.Parent_Suffix__c.$invalid }">_x000D_
_x000D_
  <!-- field label -->_x000D_
  <label class="control-label">Suffix</label>_x000D_
  <!-- end field label -->_x000D_
  <!-- field input -->_x000D_
  <select name="Parent_Suffix__c" class="form-control"_x000D_
          ng-options="item.value as item.label for item in rfi.contact.Parent_Suffixes"_x000D_
          ng-model="rfi.contact.Parent_Suffix__c" />_x000D_
  <!-- end field input -->_x000D_
  <!-- field help -->_x000D_
  <span class="help-block" ng-messages="rfi.rfiForm.stepTwo.Parent_Suffix__c.$error" ng-show="rfi.rfiForm.stepTwo.Parent_Suffix__c.$touched">_x000D_
    <span ng-message="required">this field is required</span>_x000D_
  </span>  _x000D_
  <!-- end field help -->_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
<!-- end form field -->
_x000D_
_x000D_

Using Laravel Homestead: 'no input file specified'

Giving my response just in case if anybody struggling with this issue.

  1. You might need to verify that the server.root configuration in "/etc/ngnx/sites-available/domain" matching with your sites.to config in "Homestead.yaml".

  2. If its not matching then change it and restart the webserver with "sudo service nginx restart"

  3. And still things are not working then allow write permission for the "YOURSITE/app/storage" folder as "chmod -R 777 app/storage"

do <something> N times (declarative syntax)

Create an Array and fill all items with undefined before using map:

?? Array.fill has no IE support

_x000D_
_x000D_
// run 5 times:
Array(5).fill().map((item, i)=>{ 
   console.log(i) // print index
})
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

There is nice "trick" using destructuring Array, replacing fill with:
Array(5).fill() ? [...Array(5)] which does the same, filling the array with undefined.


If you want to make the above more "declarative", my currently opinion-based solution would be:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const iterate = times => callback => [...Array(times)].map((n,i) => callback(i))

iterate(3)(console.log)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Using old-school (reverse) loop:

_x000D_
_x000D_
// run 5 times:
for( let i=5; i--; )
   console.log(i) 
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Or as a declarative "while":

_x000D_
_x000D_
const times = count => callback => { while(count--) callback(count) }

times(3)(console.log)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Move / Copy File Operations in Java

Try to use org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils (General file manipulation utilities). Facilities are provided in the following methods:

(1) FileUtils.moveDirectory(File srcDir, File destDir) => Moves a directory.

(2) FileUtils.moveDirectoryToDirectory(File src, File destDir, boolean createDestDir) => Moves a directory to another directory.

(3) FileUtils.moveFile(File srcFile, File destFile) => Moves a file.

(4) FileUtils.moveFileToDirectory(File srcFile, File destDir, boolean createDestDir) => Moves a file to a directory.

(5) FileUtils.moveToDirectory(File src, File destDir, boolean createDestDir) => Moves a file or directory to the destination directory.

It's simple, easy and fast.

Powershell Active Directory - Limiting my get-aduser search to a specific OU [and sub OUs]

If I understand you correctly, you need to use -SearchBase:

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=Accounts,OU=RootOU,DC=ChildDomain,DC=RootDomain,DC=com" -Filter *

Note that Get-ADUser defaults to using

 -SearchScope Subtree

so you don't need to specify it. It's this that gives you all sub-OUs (and sub-sub-OUs, etc.).

How do I create a new branch?

In the Repository Browser of TortoiseSVN, find the branch that you want to create the new branch from. Right-click, Copy To.... and enter the new branch path. Now you can "switch" your local WC to that branch.

Check if Python Package is installed

If you'd like your script to install missing packages and continue, you could do something like this (on example of 'krbV' module in 'python-krbV' package):

import pip
import sys

for m, pkg in [('krbV', 'python-krbV')]:
    try:
        setattr(sys.modules[__name__], m, __import__(m))
    except ImportError:
        pip.main(['install', pkg])
        setattr(sys.modules[__name__], m, __import__(m))

How to connect PHP with Microsoft Access database

<?php
    $dbName = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "products\products.mdb";
    if (!file_exists($dbName)) {
       die("Could not find database file.");
    }
    $db = new PDO("odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=$dbName; Uid=; Pwd=;");

A successful connection will allow SQL commands to be executed from PHP to read or write the database. If, however, you get the error message “PDOException Could not find driver” then it’s likely that the PDO ODBC driver is not installed. Use the phpinfo() function to check your installation for references to PDO.

If an entry for PDO ODBC is not present, you will need to ensure your installation includes the PDO extension and ODBC drivers. To do so on Windows, uncomment the line extension=php_pdo_odbc.dll in php.ini, restart Apache, and then try to connect to the database again.

With the driver installed, the output from phpinfo() should include information like this:https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5kc39/hdse

How do I sum values in a column that match a given condition using pandas?

You can also do this without using groupby or loc. By simply including the condition in code. Let the name of dataframe be df. Then you can try :

df[df['a']==1]['b'].sum()

or you can also try :

sum(df[df['a']==1]['b'])

Another way could be to use the numpy library of python :

import numpy as np
print(np.where(df['a']==1, df['b'],0).sum())

How to fix a locale setting warning from Perl

For Debian users, I have this problem after modifying my locale to change machine's language. This is what I did:

  1. Modify .bashrc:

    export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
    export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8
    
  2. Uncomment line fr_FR.UTF-8 in file etc/locale.gen -> sudo locale-gen to generate the missing package

  3. sudo update-locale

  4. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales to configure my locale to fr_FR.UTF-8

  5. Add extra lines to the etc/default/locale file:

    LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
    LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
    LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    LC_TYPE=en_US.UTF-8
    
  6. Reboot my computer and everything works fine

Importing Excel files into R, xlsx or xls

For a solution that is free of fiddly external dependencies*, there is now readxl:

The readxl package makes it easy to get data out of Excel and into R. Compared to many of the existing packages (e.g. gdata, xlsx, xlsReadWrite) readxl has no external dependencies so it's easy to install and use on all operating systems. It is designed to work with tabular data stored in a single sheet.

Readxl supports both the legacy .xls format and the modern xml-based .xlsx format. .xls support is made possible the with libxls C library, which abstracts away many of the complexities of the underlying binary format. To parse .xlsx, we use the RapidXML C++ library.

It can be installed like so:

install.packages("readxl") # CRAN version

or

devtools::install_github("hadley/readxl") # development version

Usage

library(readxl)

# read_excel reads both xls and xlsx files
read_excel("my-old-spreadsheet.xls")
read_excel("my-new-spreadsheet.xlsx")

# Specify sheet with a number or name
read_excel("my-spreadsheet.xls", sheet = "data")
read_excel("my-spreadsheet.xls", sheet = 2)

# If NAs are represented by something other than blank cells,
# set the na argument
read_excel("my-spreadsheet.xls", na = "NA")

* not strictly true, it requires the Rcpp package, which in turn requires Rtools (for Windows) or Xcode (for OSX), which are dependencies external to R. But they don't require any fiddling with paths, etc., so that's an advantage over Java and Perl dependencies.

Update There is now the rexcel package. This promises to get Excel formatting, functions and many other kinds of information from the Excel file and into R.

Delete all records in a table of MYSQL in phpMyAdmin

Use this query:

DELETE FROM tableName;

Note: To delete some specific record you can give the condition in where clause in the query also.

OR you can use this query also:

truncate tableName;

Also remember that you should not have any relationship with other table. If there will be any foreign key constraint in the table then those record will not be deleted and will give the error.

Android Button setOnClickListener Design

Since setOnClickListener is defined on View not Button, if you don't need the variable for something else, you could make it a little terser like this:

findViewById(R.id.buttonXName).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
    //DO SOMETHING! {RUN SOME FUNCTION ... DO CHECKS... ETC}
    } 
});

Matrix Transpose in Python

The "best" answer has already been submitted, but I thought I would add that you can use nested list comprehensions, as seen in the Python Tutorial.

Here is how you could get a transposed array:

def matrixTranspose( matrix ):

    return [ [ row[ i ] for row in matrix ] for i in range( len( matrix[ 0 ] ) ) ]

How to document a method with parameter(s)?

Building upon the type-hints answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/9195565/2418922), which provides a better structured way to document types of parameters, there exist also a structured manner to document both type and descriptions of parameters:

def copy_net(
    infile: (str, 'The name of the file to send'),
    host: (str, 'The host to send the file to'),
    port: (int, 'The port to connect to')):

    pass

Declare variable in table valued function

There are two flavors of table valued functions. One that is just a select statement and one that can have more rows than just a select statement.

This can not have a variable:

create function Func() returns table
as
return
select 10 as ColName

You have to do like this instead:

create function Func()
returns @T table(ColName int)
as
begin
  declare @Var int
  set @Var = 10
  insert into @T(ColName) values (@Var)
  return
end

Reduce git repository size

This should not affect everyone, but one of the semi-hidden reasons of the repository size being large could be Git submodules.

You might have added one or more submodules, but stopped using it at some time, and some files remained in .git/modules directory. To make redundant submodule files gone away, see this question.

However, just like the main repository, the other way is to navigate to the submodule directory in .git/modules, and do a, for example, git gc --aggressive --prune.

These should have a good impact in the repository size, but as long as you use Git submodules, e.g. especially with large libraries, your repository size should not change drastically.

Disabling submit button until all fields have values

I refactored the chosen answer here and improved on it. The chosen answer only works assuming you have one form per page. I solved this for multiple forms on same page (in my case I have 2 modals on same page) and my solution only checks for values on required fields. My solution gracefully degrades if JavaScript is disabled and includes a slick CSS button fade transition.

See working JS fiddle example: https://jsfiddle.net/bno08c44/4/

JS

$(function(){
 function submitState(el) {

    var $form = $(el),
        $requiredInputs = $form.find('input:required'),
        $submit = $form.find('input[type="submit"]');

    $submit.attr('disabled', 'disabled');

    $requiredInputs.keyup(function () {

      $form.data('empty', 'false');

      $requiredInputs.each(function() {
        if ($(this).val() === '') {
          $form.data('empty', 'true');
        }
      });

      if ($form.data('empty') === 'true') {
        $submit.attr('disabled', 'disabled').attr('title', 'fill in all required fields');
      } else {
        $submit.removeAttr('disabled').attr('title', 'click to submit');
      }
    });
  }

  // apply to each form element individually
  submitState('#sign_up_user');
  submitState('#login_user');
});

MySQl Error #1064

At first you need to add semi colon (;) after quantity INT NOT NULL) then remove ** from ,genre,quantity)**. to insert a value with numeric data type like int, decimal, float, etc you don't need to add single quote.

MVC ajax post to controller action method

I found this way of using ajax which helped me as it was better in use as not having complex json syntaxes

//fifth
function GetAjaxDataPromise(url, postData) {
    debugger;
    var promise = $.post(url, postData, function (promise, status) {
    });
    return promise;
};
$(function () {
    $("#btnGet5").click(function () {
        debugger;
        var promises = GetAjaxDataPromise('@Url.Action("AjaxMethod", "Home")', { EmpId: $("#txtId").val(), EmpName: $("#txtName").val(), EmpSalary: $("#txtSalary").val() });
        promises.done(function (response) {
            debugger;
            alert("Hello: " + response.EmpName + " Your Employee Id Is: " + response.EmpId + "And Your Salary Is: " + response.EmpSalary);
        });
    });
});

This method comes with jquery promise the best part was on controller we can received data by using separate parameters or just by using a model class.

[HttpPost]
    public JsonResult AjaxMethod(PersonModel personModel)
    {
        PersonModel person = new PersonModel
        {
            EmpId = personModel.EmpId,
            EmpName = personModel.EmpName,
            EmpSalary = personModel.EmpSalary
        };
        return Json(person);
    }

or

[HttpPost]
    public JsonResult AjaxMethod(string empId, string empName, string empSalary)
    {
        PersonModel person = new PersonModel
        {
            EmpId = empId,
            EmpName = empName,
            EmpSalary = empSalary
        };
        return Json(person);
    } 

It works for both of the cases. SO you must try out this way. Got the reference from Using Ajax With Asp.Net MVC

There are few more ways of using Ajax explained there other than this one which you must try.

How can I completely uninstall nodejs, npm and node in Ubuntu

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm

Then go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and remove any node list if you have. Then do a

sudo apt-get update

Check for any .npm or .node folder in your home folder and delete those.

If you type

which node

you can see the location of the node. Try which nodejs and which npm too.

I would recommend installing node using Node Version Manager(NVM). That saved a lot of headache for me. You can install nodejs and npm without sudo using nvm.

How does the FetchMode work in Spring Data JPA

I think that Spring Data ignores the FetchMode. I always use the @NamedEntityGraph and @EntityGraph annotations when working with Spring Data

@Entity
@NamedEntityGraph(name = "GroupInfo.detail",
  attributeNodes = @NamedAttributeNode("members"))
public class GroupInfo {

  // default fetch mode is lazy.
  @ManyToMany
  List<GroupMember> members = new ArrayList<GroupMember>();

  …
}

@Repository
public interface GroupRepository extends CrudRepository<GroupInfo, String> {

  @EntityGraph(value = "GroupInfo.detail", type = EntityGraphType.LOAD)
  GroupInfo getByGroupName(String name);

}

How to pass anonymous types as parameters?

You can do it like this:

public void LogEmployees<T>(List<T> list) // Or IEnumerable<T> list
{
    foreach (T item in list)
    {

    }
}

... but you won't get to do much with each item. You could call ToString, but you won't be able to use (say) Name and Id directly.

Change <br> height using CSS

<font size="4"> <font color="#ffe680">something here</font><br>

I was trying all these methods but most didn't work properly for me, eventually I accidentally did this and it works great, it works on chrome and safari (the only things I tested on). Replace the colour code thing with your background colour code and the text will be invisible. you can also adjust the font size to make the line break bigger or smaller depending on your desire. It is really simple.

Printing all variables value from a class

From Implementing toString:

public String toString() {
  StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
  String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");

  result.append( this.getClass().getName() );
  result.append( " Object {" );
  result.append(newLine);

  //determine fields declared in this class only (no fields of superclass)
  Field[] fields = this.getClass().getDeclaredFields();

  //print field names paired with their values
  for ( Field field : fields  ) {
    result.append("  ");
    try {
      result.append( field.getName() );
      result.append(": ");
      //requires access to private field:
      result.append( field.get(this) );
    } catch ( IllegalAccessException ex ) {
      System.out.println(ex);
    }
    result.append(newLine);
  }
  result.append("}");

  return result.toString();
}

.NET Excel Library that can read/write .xls files

Is there a reason why you can't use the Excel ODBC connection to read and write to Excel? For example, I've used the following code to read from an Excel file row by row like a database:

private DataTable LoadExcelData(string fileName)
{
  string Connection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + fileName + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\";";

  OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(Connection);

  OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();

  DataTable dt = new DataTable(); OleDbDataAdapter myCommand = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$] WHERE LastName <> '' ORDER BY LastName, FirstName", con);

  myCommand.Fill(dt);

  Console.WriteLine(dt.Rows.Count);

  return dt;
}

You can write to the Excel "database" the same way. As you can see, you can select the version number to use so that you can downgrade Excel versions for the machine with Excel 2003. Actually, the same is true for using the Interop. You can use the lower version and it should work with Excel 2003 even though you only have the higher version on your development PC.

How to execute two mysql queries as one in PHP/MYSQL?

You'll have to use the MySQLi extension if you don't want to execute a query twice:

if (mysqli_multi_query($link, $query))
{
    $result1 = mysqli_store_result($link);
    $result2 = null;

    if (mysqli_more_results($link))
    {
        mysqli_next_result($link);
        $result2 = mysqli_store_result($link);
    }

    // do something with both result sets.

    if ($result1)
        mysqli_free_result($result1);

    if ($result2)
        mysqli_free_result($result2);
}

Force unmount of NFS-mounted directory

Your NFS server disappeared.

Ideally your best bet is if the NFS server comes back.

If not, the "umount -f" should have done the trick. It doesn't ALWAYS work, but it often will.

If you happen to know what processes are USING the NFS filesystem, you could try killing those processes and then maybe an unmount would work.

Finally, I'd guess you need to reboot.

Also, DON'T soft-mount your NFS drives. You use hard-mounts to guarantee that they worked. That's necessary if you're doing writes.

What is the difference between Python's list methods append and extend?

What is the difference between the list methods append and extend?

  • append adds its argument as a single element to the end of a list. The length of the list itself will increase by one.
  • extend iterates over its argument adding each element to the list, extending the list. The length of the list will increase by however many elements were in the iterable argument.

append

The list.append method appends an object to the end of the list.

my_list.append(object) 

Whatever the object is, whether a number, a string, another list, or something else, it gets added onto the end of my_list as a single entry on the list.

>>> my_list
['foo', 'bar']
>>> my_list.append('baz')
>>> my_list
['foo', 'bar', 'baz']

So keep in mind that a list is an object. If you append another list onto a list, the first list will be a single object at the end of the list (which may not be what you want):

>>> another_list = [1, 2, 3]
>>> my_list.append(another_list)
>>> my_list
['foo', 'bar', 'baz', [1, 2, 3]]
                     #^^^^^^^^^--- single item at the end of the list.

extend

The list.extend method extends a list by appending elements from an iterable:

my_list.extend(iterable)

So with extend, each element of the iterable gets appended onto the list. For example:

>>> my_list
['foo', 'bar']
>>> another_list = [1, 2, 3]
>>> my_list.extend(another_list)
>>> my_list
['foo', 'bar', 1, 2, 3]

Keep in mind that a string is an iterable, so if you extend a list with a string, you'll append each character as you iterate over the string (which may not be what you want):

>>> my_list.extend('baz')
>>> my_list
['foo', 'bar', 1, 2, 3, 'b', 'a', 'z']

Operator Overload, __add__ (+) and __iadd__ (+=)

Both + and += operators are defined for list. They are semantically similar to extend.

my_list + another_list creates a third list in memory, so you can return the result of it, but it requires that the second iterable be a list.

my_list += another_list modifies the list in-place (it is the in-place operator, and lists are mutable objects, as we've seen) so it does not create a new list. It also works like extend, in that the second iterable can be any kind of iterable.

Don't get confused - my_list = my_list + another_list is not equivalent to += - it gives you a brand new list assigned to my_list.

Time Complexity

Append has constant time complexity, O(1).

Extend has time complexity, O(k).

Iterating through the multiple calls to append adds to the complexity, making it equivalent to that of extend, and since extend's iteration is implemented in C, it will always be faster if you intend to append successive items from an iterable onto a list.

Performance

You may wonder what is more performant, since append can be used to achieve the same outcome as extend. The following functions do the same thing:

def append(alist, iterable):
    for item in iterable:
        alist.append(item)

def extend(alist, iterable):
    alist.extend(iterable)

So let's time them:

import timeit

>>> min(timeit.repeat(lambda: append([], "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")))
2.867846965789795
>>> min(timeit.repeat(lambda: extend([], "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")))
0.8060121536254883

Addressing a comment on timings

A commenter said:

Perfect answer, I just miss the timing of comparing adding only one element

Do the semantically correct thing. If you want to append all elements in an iterable, use extend. If you're just adding one element, use append.

Ok, so let's create an experiment to see how this works out in time:

def append_one(a_list, element):
    a_list.append(element)

def extend_one(a_list, element):
    """creating a new list is semantically the most direct
    way to create an iterable to give to extend"""
    a_list.extend([element])

import timeit

And we see that going out of our way to create an iterable just to use extend is a (minor) waste of time:

>>> min(timeit.repeat(lambda: append_one([], 0)))
0.2082819009956438
>>> min(timeit.repeat(lambda: extend_one([], 0)))
0.2397019260097295

We learn from this that there's nothing gained from using extend when we have only one element to append.

Also, these timings are not that important. I am just showing them to make the point that, in Python, doing the semantically correct thing is doing things the Right Way™.

It's conceivable that you might test timings on two comparable operations and get an ambiguous or inverse result. Just focus on doing the semantically correct thing.

Conclusion

We see that extend is semantically clearer, and that it can run much faster than append, when you intend to append each element in an iterable to a list.

If you only have a single element (not in an iterable) to add to the list, use append.

How to capture no file for fs.readFileSync()?

I prefer this way of handling this. You can check if the file exists synchronously:

var file = 'info.json';
var content = '';

// Check that the file exists locally
if(!fs.existsSync(file)) {
  console.log("File not found");
}

// The file *does* exist
else {
  // Read the file and do anything you want
  content = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf-8');
}

Note: if your program also deletes files, this has a race condition as noted in the comments. If however you only write or overwrite files, without deleting them, then this is totally fine.

How to make the checkbox unchecked by default always

One quick solution that came to mind :-

<input type="checkbox" id="markitem" name="markitem" value="1" onchange="GetMarkedItems(1)">
<label for="markitem" style="position:absolute; top:1px; left:165px;">&nbsp</label>
<!-- Fire the below javascript everytime the page reloads -->
<script type=text/javascript>
  document.getElementById("markitem").checked = false;
</script>
<!-- Tested on Latest FF, Chrome, Opera and IE. -->

javascript node.js next()

It is naming convention used when passing callbacks in situations that require serial execution of actions, e.g. scan directory -> read file data -> do something with data. This is in preference to deeply nesting the callbacks. The first three sections of the following article on Tim Caswell's HowToNode blog give a good overview of this:

http://howtonode.org/control-flow

Also see the Sequential Actions section of the second part of that posting:

Delete statement in SQL is very slow

In my case the database statistics had become corrupt. The statement

delete from tablename where col1 = 'v1' 

was taking 30 seconds even though there were no matching records but

delete from tablename where col1 = 'rubbish'

ran instantly

running

update statistics tablename

fixed the issue

AttributeError: 'datetime' module has no attribute 'strptime'

If I had to guess, you did this:

import datetime

at the top of your code. This means that you have to do this:

datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

to access the strptime method. Or, you could change the import statement to this:

from datetime import datetime

and access it as you are.

The people who made the datetime module also named their class datetime:

#module  class    method
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

How can I access global variable inside class in Python

It is very simple to make a variable global in a class:

a = 0

class b():
    global a
    a = 10

>>> a
10

FirstOrDefault returns NullReferenceException if no match is found

You can use a combination of other LINQ methods to handle not matching condition:

var res = dictionary.Where(x => x.Value.ID == someID)
                    .Select(x => x.Value.DisplayName)
                    .DefaultIfEmpty("Unknown")
                    .First();

Difference between List, List<?>, List<T>, List<E>, and List<Object>

You're right: String is a subset of Object. Since String is more "precise" than Object, you should cast it to use it as an argument for System.out.println().

Dynamically updating css in Angular 2

I liked the look of WenhaoWuI's idea above, but I needed to identify the div with class .ui-tree in the PrimeNG tree component to set the height dynamically. All the answers I could find required the div to be named (ie #treediv) to enable the use of @ViewChild(), @ViewChildren(), @ContentChild(), @ContentChilden() etc. This was messy with a third party component.

I finally found a snippet from Günter Zöchbauer :

ngAfterViewInit() {
  this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector('.myClass');
}

This made it easy:

@Input() height: number;
treeheight: number = 400; //default value

constructor(private renderer: Renderer2, private elRef: ElementRef) {  }

ngOnInit() {
    this.loading = true;
    if (this.height != null) {
        this.treeheight = this.height;
    }   
}

ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.renderer.setStyle(this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector('.ui-tree'), 'height', this.treeheight + "px");
}

VBA, if a string contains a certain letter

Not sure if this is what you're after, but it will loop through the range that you gave it and if it finds an "A" it will remove it from the cell. I'm not sure what oldStr is used for...

Private Sub foo()
Dim myString As String
RowCount = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A"))

For i = 2 To RowCount
    myString = Trim(Cells(i, 1).Value)
    If InStr(myString, "A") > 0 Then
        Cells(i, 1).Value = Left(myString, InStr(myString, "A"))
    End If
Next
End Sub

How to stop INFO messages displaying on spark console?

If you don't have the ability to edit the java code to insert the .setLogLevel() statements and you don't want yet more external files to deploy, you can use a brute force way to solve this. Just filter out the INFO lines using grep.

spark-submit --deploy-mode client --master local <rest-of-cmd> | grep -v -F "INFO"

Understanding checked vs unchecked exceptions in Java

To answer the final question (the others seem thoroughly answered above), "Should I bubble up the exact exception or mask it using Exception?"

I am assuming you mean something like this:

public void myMethod() throws Exception {
    // ... something that throws FileNotFoundException ...
}

No, always declare the most precise exception possible, or a list of such. The exceptions you declare your method as capable of throwing are a part of the contract between your method and the caller. Throwing "FileNotFoundException" means that it is possible the file name isn't valid and the file will not be found; the caller will need to handle that intelligently. Throwing Exception means "Hey, sh*t happens. Deal." Which is a very poor API.

In the comments on the first article there are some examples where "throws Exception" is a valid and reasonable declaration, but that's not the case for most "normal" code you will ever write.

unix diff side-to-side results?

Enhanced diff command with color, side by side and alias

Let's say the file contents are like:

cat /tmp/test1.txt
1
2
3
4
5
8
9

and

cat /tmp/test2.txt
1
1.5
2
4
5
6
7

Now comparing side-by-side

diff --width=$COLUMNS --suppress-common-lines --side-by-side --color=always /tmp/test1.txt /tmp/test2.txt
                                                                              > 1.5
3                                                                             <
8                                                                             | 6
9                                                                             | 7

You can define alias to use

alias diff='diff --width=$COLUMNS --suppress-common-lines --side-by-side --color=always'

Then new diff result:

diff /tmp/test1.txt /tmp/test2.txt
                                                                              > 1.5

8                                                                             | 6
9                                                                             | 7

Using comma as list separator with AngularJS

If you are using ng-show to limit the values, the {{$last ? '' : ', '}} won`t work since it will still take into consideration all the values.Example

<div ng-repeat="x in records" ng-show="x.email == 1">{{x}}{{$last ? '' : ', '}}</div>

var myApp = angular.module("myApp", []);
myApp.controller("myCtrl", function($scope) {
  $scope.records = [
    {"email": "1"},
    {"email": "1"},
    {"email": "2"},
    {"email": "3"}
  ]
});

Results in adding a comma after the "last" value,since with ng-show it still takes into consideration all 4 values

{"email":"1"},
{"email":"1"},

One solution is to add a filter directly into ng-repeat

<div ng-repeat="x in records | filter: { email : '1' } ">{{x}}{{$last ? '' : ', '}}</div>

Results

{"email":"1"},
{"email":"1"}

Pylint message control is documented in the Pylint manual:

Is it possible to locally disable a particular message?

Yes, this feature has been added in Pylint 0.11. This may be done by adding # pylint: disable=some-message,another-one at the desired block level or at the end of the desired line of code.

You can use the message code or the symbolic names.

For example,

def test():
    # Disable all the no-member violations in this function
    # pylint: disable=no-member
    ...
global VAR # pylint: disable=global-statement

The manual also has further examples.

There is a wiki that documents all Pylint messages and their codes.

How to check if the URL contains a given string?

You would use indexOf like this:

if(window.location.href.indexOf("franky") != -1){....}

Also notice the addition of href for the string otherwise you would do:

if(window.location.toString().indexOf("franky") != -1){....}

How to get terminal's Character Encoding

To see the current locale information use locale command. Below is an example on RHEL 7.8

How do I prevent a form from being resized by the user?

If you want to prevent resize by dragging sizegrips and by the maximize button and by maximize by doubleclick on the header text, than insert the following code in the load event of the form:

    Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle ' Prevent size grips
    Me.MaximumSize = Me.Size ' Prevent maximize (also by doubleclick of header text)

Of course all choices of a formborderstyle beginning with Fixed will do.

Change Twitter Bootstrap Tooltip content on click

In bootstrap 4 I just use $(el).tooltip('dispose'); then recreate as normal. So you can put the dispose before a function that creates a tooltip to be sure it doesn't double up.

Having to check the state and tinker with values seems less friendly.

SQL WITH clause example

This has been fully answered here.

See Oracle's docs on SELECT to see how subquery factoring works, and Mark's example:

WITH employee AS (SELECT * FROM Employees)
SELECT * FROM employee WHERE ID < 20
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM employee WHERE Sex = 'M'

When using Trusted_Connection=true and SQL Server authentication, will this affect performance?

If your web application is configured to impersonate a client, then using a trusted connection will potentially have a negative performance impact. This is because each client must use a different connection pool (with the client's credentials).

Most web applications don't use impersonation / delegation, and hence don't have this problem.

See this MSDN article for more information.

A JOIN With Additional Conditions Using Query Builder or Eloquent

You can replicate those brackets in the left join:

LEFT JOIN bookings  
               ON rooms.id = bookings.room_type_id
              AND (  bookings.arrival between ? and ?
                  OR bookings.departure between ? and ? )

is

->leftJoin('bookings', function($join){
    $join->on('rooms.id', '=', 'bookings.room_type_id');
    $join->on(DB::raw('(  bookings.arrival between ? and ? OR bookings.departure between ? and ? )'), DB::raw(''), DB::raw(''));
})

You'll then have to set the bindings later using "setBindings" as described in this SO post: How to bind parameters to a raw DB query in Laravel that's used on a model?

It's not pretty but it works.

Can RDP clients launch remote applications and not desktops

RDP will not do that natively.

As other answers have said -- you'll need to do some scripting and make policy changes as a kludge to make it hard for RDP logins to run anything but the intended application.

However, as of 2008, Microsoft has released application virtualization technology via Terminal Services that will allow you to do this seamlessly.

Design DFA accepting binary strings divisible by a number 'n'

Below, I have written an answer for n equals to 5, but you can apply same approach to draw DFAs for any value of n and 'any positional number system' e.g binary, ternary...

First lean the term 'Complete DFA', A DFA defined on complete domain in d:Q × S?Q is called 'Complete DFA'. In other words we can say; in transition diagram of complete DFA there is no missing edge (e.g. from each state in Q there is one outgoing edge present for every language symbol in S). Note: Sometime we define partial DFA as d ? Q × S?Q (Read: How does “d:Q × S?Q” read in the definition of a DFA).

Design DFA accepting Binary numbers divisible by number 'n':

Step-1: When you divide a number ? by n then reminder can be either 0, 1, ..., (n - 2) or (n - 1). If remainder is 0 that means ? is divisible by n otherwise not. So, in my DFA there will be a state qr that would be corresponding to a remainder value r, where 0 <= r <= (n - 1), and total number of states in DFA is n.
After processing a number string ? over S, the end state is qr implies that ? % n => r (% reminder operator).

In any automata, the purpose of a state is like memory element. A state in an atomata stores some information like fan's switch that can tell whether the fan is in 'off' or in 'on' state. For n = 5, five states in DFA corresponding to five reminder information as follows:

  1. State q0 reached if reminder is 0. State q0 is the final state(accepting state). It is also an initial state.
  2. State q1 reaches if reminder is 1, a non-final state.
  3. State q2 if reminder is 2, a non-final state.
  4. State q3 if reminder is 3, a non-final state.
  5. State q4 if reminder is 4, a non-final state.

Using above information, we can start drawing transition diagram TD of five states as follows:

fig-1
Figure-1

So, 5 states for 5 remainder values. After processing a string ? if end-state becomes q0 that means decimal equivalent of input string is divisible by 5. In above figure q0 is marked final state as two concentric circle.
Additionally, I have defined a transition rule d:(q0, 0)?q0 as a self loop for symbol '0' at state q0, this is because decimal equivalent of any string consist of only '0' is 0 and 0 is a divisible by n.

Step-2: TD above is incomplete; and can only process strings of '0's. Now add some more edges so that it can process subsequent number's strings. Check table below, shows new transition rules those can be added next step:

+-------------------------------------+
¦Number¦Binary¦Remainder(%5)¦End-state¦

+------+------+-------------+---------¦
¦Four  ¦100   ¦4            ¦q4       ¦
+-------------------------------------+
  1. To process binary string '1' there should be a transition rule d:(q0, 1)?q1
  2. Two:- binary representation is '10', end-state should be q2, and to process '10', we just need to add one more transition rule d:(q1, 0)?q2
    Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-0?(q2)
  3. Three:- in binary it is '11', end-state is q3, and we need to add a transition rule d:(q1, 1)?q3
    Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-1?(q3)
  4. Four:- in binary '100', end-state is q4. TD already processes prefix string '10' and we just need to add a new transition rule d:(q2, 0)?q4
    Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-0?(q2)-0?(q4)

fig-2 Figure-2

Step-3: Five = 101
Above transition diagram in figure-2 is still incomplete and there are many missing edges, for an example no transition is defined for d:(q2, 1)-?. And the rule should be present to process strings like '101'.
Because '101' = 5 is divisible by 5, and to accept '101' I will add d:(q2, 1)?q0 in above figure-2.
Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-0?(q2)-1?(q0)
with this new rule, transition diagram becomes as follows:

fig-3 Figure-3

Below in each step I pick next subsequent binary number to add a missing edge until I get TD as a 'complete DFA'.

Step-4: Six = 110.

We can process '11' in present TD in figure-3 as: ?(q0)-11?(q3) -0?(?). Because 6 % 5 = 1 this means to add one rule d:(q3, 0)?q1.

Figure-12

Total number of edges in transition diagram figure-12 are 15 = Q × S = 5 * 3 (a complete DFA). And this DFA can accept all strings consist over {0, 1, 2} those decimal equivalent is divisible by 5.
If you notice at each step, in table there are three entries because at each step I add all possible outgoing edge from a state to make a complete DFA (and I add an edge so that qr state gets for remainder is r)!

To add further, remember union of two regular languages are also a regular. If you need to design a DFA that accepts binary strings those decimal equivalent is either divisible by 3 or 5, then draw two separate DFAs for divisible by 3 and 5 then union both DFAs to construct target DFA (for 1 <= n <= 10 your have to union 10 DFAs).

If you are asked to draw DFA that accepts binary strings such that decimal equivalent is divisible by 5 and 3 both then you are looking for DFA of divisible by 15 ( but what about 6 and 8?).

Note: DFAs drawn with this technique will be minimized DFA only when there is no common factor between number n and base e.g. there is no between 5 and 2 in first example, or between 5 and 3 in second example, hence both DFAs constructed above are minimized DFAs. If you are interested to read further about possible mini states for number n and base b read paper: Divisibility and State Complexity.

below I have added a Python script, I written it for fun while learning Python library pygraphviz. I am adding it I hope it can be helpful for someone in someway.

Design DFA for base 'b' number strings divisible by number 'n':

So we can apply above trick to draw DFA to recognize number strings in any base 'b' those are divisible a given number 'n'. In that DFA total number of states will be n (for n remainders) and number of edges should be equal to 'b' * 'n' — that is complete DFA: 'b' = number of symbols in language of DFA and 'n' = number of states.

Using above trick, below I have written a Python Script to Draw DFA for input base and number. In script, function divided_by_N populates DFA's transition rules in base * number steps. In each step-num, I convert num into number string num_s using function baseN(). To avoid processing each number string, I have used a temporary data-structure lookup_table. In each step, end-state for number string num_s is evaluated and stored in lookup_table to use in next step.

For transition graph of DFA, I have written a function draw_transition_graph using Pygraphviz library (very easy to use). To use this script you need to install graphviz. To add colorful edges in transition diagram, I randomly generates color codes for each symbol get_color_dict function.

Hide/Show Column in an HTML Table

The following should do it:

$("input[type='checkbox']").click(function() {
    var index = $(this).attr('name').substr(2);
    $('table tr').each(function() { 
        $('td:eq(' + index + ')',this).toggle();
    });
});

This is untested code, but the principle is that you choose the table cell in each row that corresponds to the chosen index extracted from the checkbox name. You could of course limit the selectors with a class or an ID.

Why do Twitter Bootstrap tables always have 100% width?

All tables within the bootstrap stretch according to their container, which you can easily do by placing your table inside a .span* grid element of your choice. If you wish to remove this property you can create your own table class and simply add it to the table you want to expand with the content within:

.table-nonfluid {
   width: auto !important;
}

You can add this class inside your own stylesheet and simply add it to the container of your table like so:

<table class="table table-nonfluid"> ... </table>

This way your change won't affect the bootstrap stylesheet itself (you might want to have a fluid table somewhere else in your document).

Usage of __slots__?

Quoting Jacob Hallen:

The proper use of __slots__ is to save space in objects. Instead of having a dynamic dict that allows adding attributes to objects at anytime, there is a static structure which does not allow additions after creation. [This use of __slots__ eliminates the overhead of one dict for every object.] While this is sometimes a useful optimization, it would be completely unnecessary if the Python interpreter was dynamic enough so that it would only require the dict when there actually were additions to the object.

Unfortunately there is a side effect to slots. They change the behavior of the objects that have slots in a way that can be abused by control freaks and static typing weenies. This is bad, because the control freaks should be abusing the metaclasses and the static typing weenies should be abusing decorators, since in Python, there should be only one obvious way of doing something.

Making CPython smart enough to handle saving space without __slots__ is a major undertaking, which is probably why it is not on the list of changes for P3k (yet).

Is There a Better Way of Checking Nil or Length == 0 of a String in Ruby?

What is the role of the bias in neural networks?

Just to add my two cents.

A simpler way to understand what the bias is: it is somehow similar to the constant b of a linear function

y = ax + b

It allows you to move the line up and down to fit the prediction with the data better. Without b the line always goes through the origin (0, 0) and you may get a poorer fit.

Check if Cell value exists in Column, and then get the value of the NEXT Cell

Use a different function, like VLOOKUP:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B, 0)), "No Match", VLOOKUP(A1,B:C,2,FALSE))

Getting JSONObject from JSONArray

When using google gson library.

var getRowData =

    "date": "11-Mar-2012",
    "los": "1",
    "specialEvent": "",
    "lrv": "0"

{
    "dayOfWeek": "Mon",
    "date": "",
    "los": "2",
    "specialEvent": "",
    "lrv": "0.16"
}];

    JsonElement root = new JsonParser().parse(request.getParameter("getRowData"));
     JsonArray  jsonArray = root.getAsJsonArray();
     JsonObject  jsonObject1 = jsonArray.get(0).getAsJsonObject();
     String dayOfWeek = jsonObject1.get("dayOfWeek").toString();

// when using jackson library

    JsonFactory f = new JsonFactory();
              ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
          JsonParser jp = f.createJsonParser(getRowData);
          // advance stream to START_ARRAY first:
          jp.nextToken();
          // and then each time, advance to opening START_OBJECT
         while (jp.nextToken() == JsonToken.START_OBJECT) {
            Map<String,Object> userData = mapper.readValue(jp, Map.class);
            userData.get("dayOfWeek");
            // process
           // after binding, stream points to closing END_OBJECT

JavaFX How to set scene background image

You can change style directly for scene using .root class:

.root {

}

Add this to CSS and load it as "Uluk Biy" described in his answer.

What is the function of FormulaR1C1?

FormulaR1C1 has the same behavior as Formula, only using R1C1 style annotation, instead of A1 annotation. In A1 annotation you would use:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A5").Formula = "=A4+A10"

In R1C1 you would use:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A5").FormulaR1C1 = "=R4C1+R10C1"

It doesn't act upon row 1 column 1, it acts upon the targeted cell or range. Column 1 is the same as column A, so R4C1 is the same as A4, R5C2 is B5, and so forth.

The command does not change names, the targeted cell changes. For your R2C3 (also known as C2) example :

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C2").FormulaR1C1 = "=your formula here"

Parallel foreach with asynchronous lambda

In the accepted answer the ConcurrentBag is not required. Here's an implementation without it:

var tasks = myCollection.Select(GetData).ToList();
await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
var results = tasks.Select(t => t.Result);

Any of the "// some pre stuff" and "// some post stuff" can go into the GetData implementation (or another method that calls GetData)

Aside from being shorter, there's no use of an "async void" lambda, which is an anti pattern.

JavaScript blob filename without link

Same principle as the solutions above. But I had issues with Firefox 52.0 (32 bit) where large files (>40 MBytes) are truncated at random positions. Re-scheduling the call of revokeObjectUrl() fixes this issue.

function saveFile(blob, filename) {
  if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
    window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, filename);
  } else {
    const a = document.createElement('a');
    document.body.appendChild(a);
    const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    a.href = url;
    a.download = filename;
    a.click();
    setTimeout(() => {
      window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
      document.body.removeChild(a);
    }, 0)
  }
}

Get the client IP address using PHP

The simplest way to get the visitor’s/client’s IP address is using the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] or $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] variables.

However, sometimes this does not return the correct IP address of the visitor, so we can use some other server variables to get the IP address.

The below both functions are equivalent with the difference only in how and from where the values are retrieved.

getenv() is used to get the value of an environment variable in PHP.

// Function to get the client IP address
function get_client_ip() {
    $ipaddress = '';
    if (getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP'))
        $ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
    else if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'))
        $ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
    else if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED'))
        $ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED');
    else if(getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'))
        $ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR');
    else if(getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED'))
       $ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED');
    else if(getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'))
        $ipaddress = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
    else
        $ipaddress = 'UNKNOWN';
    return $ipaddress;
}

$_SERVER is an array that contains server variables created by the web server.

// Function to get the client IP address
function get_client_ip() {
    $ipaddress = '';
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    else if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    else if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED']))
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED'];
    else if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR']))
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    else if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED']))
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED'];
    else if(isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    else
        $ipaddress = 'UNKNOWN';
    return $ipaddress;
}

How can I confirm a database is Oracle & what version it is using SQL?

The following SQL statement:

(select privilege on the v$instance view is of course necessary)

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

My solution was to include babel-node path while running nodemon as follows:

nodemon node_modules/.bin/babel-node index.js

you can add in your package.json script as :

NOTE: My entry file is index.js replace it with your entry file (many have app.js/server.js).

Java ByteBuffer to String

Here is a simple function for converting a byte buffer to string:

public String byteBufferToString(ByteBuffer bufferData) {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferData.readableByteCount()];
    // read bufferData and insert into buffer 
    data.read(buffer);
    // CharsetUtil supports UTF_16, ASCII, and many more
    String text = new String(buffer, CharsetUtil.UTF_8);
    System.out.println("Text: "+text);
    return text;
}

What is the default font of Sublime Text?

On Linux it's Monospace 10 pt. (the exact monospace font used may vary on different Linux distributions or versions), on Windows it's Consolas 10 pt., and on OS X it's Menlo Regular 12 pt.

default platform preferences

(The color scheme is Neon, the syntax highlighting is from PackageDev, and the font is Liberation Mono

This information is found in the Packages/Default directory (where Packages is the directory opened by the Preferences ? Browse Packages... menu option), in the Preferences (OS).sublime-settings file where OS is one of Windows, Linux, or OSX.

You should only customize the font (or any other setting) in Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings, opened by Preferences ? Settings—User, as Settings—Default is over-written on upgrade, and also serves as a backup in case you really screw something up in your user settings. This is the case for both the main Sublime settings as well as those for extra packages/plugins.

These default fonts are the same in Sublime Text 2, Sublime Text 3, and the new version currently in development.

Double value to round up in Java

There is something fundamentally wrong with what you're trying to do. Binary floating-points values do not have decimal places. You cannot meaningfully round one to a given number of decimal places, because most "round" decimal values simply cannot be represented as a binary fraction. Which is why one should never use float or double to represent money.

So if you want decimal places in your result, that result must either be a String (which you already got with the DecimalFormat), or a BigDecimal (which has a setScale() method that does exactly what you want). Otherwise, the result cannot be what you want it to be.

Read The Floating-Point Guide for more information.

How do I remove a library from the arduino environment?

For others who are looking to remove a built-in library, the route is to get into PackageContents -> Java -> libraries.

BUT : IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ELIMINATE LIBRARIES inside the app, they don't take space, don't have any influence on performance, and if you don't know what you are doing, you can harm the program. I did it because Arduino told me about libraries to update, showing then a board I don't have, and when saying ok it wanted to install a lot of new dependencies - I just felt forced to something I don't want, so I deinstalled that board.

HTML Best Practices: Should I use &rsquo; or the special keyboard shortcut?

Typographically, the correct glyph to use in sentence punctuation is the quote mark, both single (including for apostrophes) and double quotes. The straight-looking mark that we often see on the web is called a prime, which also comes in single and double varieties and has limited uses, mostly for measurements.

This article explains how to use them correctly.

RE error: illegal byte sequence on Mac OS X

Does anyone know how to get sed to print the position of the illegal byte sequence? Or does anyone know what the illegal byte sequence is?

$ uname -a

I got part of the way to answering the above just by using tr.

I have a .csv file that is a credit card statement and I am trying to import it into Gnucash. I am based in Switzerland so I have to deal with words like Zürich. Suspecting Gnucash does not like " " in numeric fields, I decide to simply replace all

; ;

with

;;

Here goes:

$ head -3 Auswertungen.csv | tail -1 | sed -e 's/; ;/;;/g'
sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence

I used od to shed some light: Note the 374 halfway down this od -c output

$ head -3 Auswertungen.csv | tail -1 | od -c
0000000    1   6   8   7       9   6   1   9       7   1   2   2   ;   5

0000040    6   0   ;   M   Y       N   A   M   E       I   S   X   ;   1
0000060    4   .   0   2   .   2   0   1   9   ;   9   5   5   2       -
0000100        M   i   t   a   r   b   e   i   t   e   r   r   e   s   t
0000120                Z 374   r   i   c   h                            
0000140    C   H   E   ;   R   e   s   t   a   u   r   a   n   t   s   ,
0000160        B   a   r   s   ;   6   .   2   0   ;   C   H   F   ;    
0000200    ;   C   H   F   ;   6   .   2   0   ;       ;   1   5   .   0
0000220    2   .   2   0   1   9  \n                                    
0000227

Then I thought I might try to persuade tr to substitute 374 for whatever the correct byte code is. So first I tried something simple, which didn't work, but had the side effect of showing me where the troublesome byte was:

$ head -3 Auswertungen.csv | tail -1 | tr . .  ; echo
tr: Illegal byte sequence
1687 9619 7122;5468 87XX XXXX 2660;MY NAME ISX;14.02.2019;9552 - Mitarbeiterrest   Z

You can see tr bails at the 374 character.

Using perl seems to avoid this problem

$ head -3 Auswertungen.csv | tail -1 | perl -pne 's/; ;/;;/g'
1687 9619 7122;5468 87XX XXXX 2660;ADAM NEALIS;14.02.2019;9552 - Mitarbeiterrest   Z?rich       CHE;Restaurants, Bars;6.20;CHF;;CHF;6.20;;15.02.2019

Change a HTML5 input's placeholder color with CSS

OK, placeholders behave differently in different browsers, so you need using browser prefix in your CSS to make them identical, for example Firefox gives a transparency to placeholder by default, so need to add opacity 1 to your css, plus the color, it's not a big concern most of the times, but good to have them consistent:

*::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit browsers */
    color:    #ccc;
}
*:-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox <18 */
    color:    #ccc;
    opacity:  1;
}
*::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
    color:    #ccc;
    opacity:  1;
}
*:-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
    color:    #ccc;
}

Import and insert sql.gz file into database with putty

For an oneliner, on linux or cygwin, you need to do public key authentication on the host, otherwise ssh will be asking for password.


gunzip -c numbers.sql.gz | ssh user@host mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name

Or do port forwarding and connect to the remote mysql using a "local" connection:

ssh -L some_port:host:local_mysql_port user@host

then do the mysql connection on your local machine to localhost:some_port.

The port forwarding will work from putty too, with the similar -L option or you can configure it from the settings panel, somewhere down on the tree.
