Java HashMap performance optimization / alternative

HashMap has initial capacity and HashMap's performance very very depends on hashCode that produce underlying objects.

Failed to connect to camera service

The problem is related to permission. Copy following code into onCreate() method. The issue will get solved.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        requestPermissions(new String[] {Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, 1);
    }
}

After that wait for the user action and handle his decision.

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                //Start your camera handling here
            } else {
                AppUtils.showUserMessage("You declined to allow the app to access your camera", this);
            }
    }
}

Stopping a windows service when the stop option is grayed out

As Aaron mentioned above, some services do not accept SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP messages, by the time it was developed. And that is hard coded into the executable. Period. A workaroud would be not to have it started, and as you cannot change its properties, forcibly do the following:

  1. Boot into safe mode (Windows 10 users might need msconfig > boot > safe boot)
  2. Regedit into HKLM > System > ControlSet001 > Services
  3. Locate your service entry
  4. Change 'Start' key to 3 (manual startup) or 4 (disabled)

If you cannot change the entry, right-click on your service name on the left pane, select 'Permissions', check that 'Everyone' has full access and try step 4 again.

Don't forget to disable safe boot from msconfig again, and reboot !

Filtering array of objects with lodash based on property value

**Filter by name, age ** also, you can use the map function

difference between map and filter

1. map - The map() method creates a new array with the results of calling a function for every array element. The map method allows items in an array to be manipulated to the user’s preference, returning the conclusion of the chosen manipulation in an entirely new array. For example, consider the following array:

2. filter - The filter() method creates an array filled with all array elements that pass a test implemented by the provided function. The filter method is well suited for particular instances where the user must identify certain items in an array that share a common characteristic. For example, consider the following array:

const users = [
    { name: "john", age: 23 },
    { name: "john", age:43 },
    { name: "jim", age: 101 },
    { name: "bob", age: 67 }
];

const user = _.filter(users, {name: 'jim', age: 101});
console.log(user);

Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

You can resolve the error by providing the column names you are affecting.

> INSERT INTO table_name (column1,column2,column3)
 `VALUES(50,'Jon Snow','Eye');`

please note that the semi colon should be added only after the statement providing values

Use NSInteger as array index

According to the error message, you declared myLoc as a pointer to an NSInteger (NSInteger *myLoc) rather than an actual NSInteger (NSInteger myLoc). It needs to be the latter.

How to remove an element from an array in Swift

If you don't know the index of the element that you want to remove, and the element is conform the Equatable protocol, you can do:

Convert Python ElementTree to string

Non-Latin Answer Extension

Extension to @Stevoisiak's answer and dealing with non-Latin characters. Only one way will display the non-Latin characters to you. The one method is different on both Python 3 and Python 2.

Input

xml = ElementTree.fromstring('<Person Name="???" />')
xml = ElementTree.Element("Person", Name="???")  # Read Note about Python 2

NOTE: In Python 2, when calling the toString(...) code, assigning xml with ElementTree.Element("Person", Name="???")will raise an error...

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Output

ElementTree.tostring(xml)
# Python 3 (???): b'<Person Name="&#53356;&#47532;&#49828;" />'
# Python 3 (John): b'<Person Name="John" />'

# Python 2 (???): <Person Name="&#53356;&#47532;&#49828;" />
# Python 2 (John): <Person Name="John" />


ElementTree.tostring(xml, encoding='unicode')
# Python 3 (???): <Person Name="???" />             <-------- Python 3
# Python 3 (John): <Person Name="John" />

# Python 2 (???): LookupError: unknown encoding: unicode
# Python 2 (John): LookupError: unknown encoding: unicode

ElementTree.tostring(xml, encoding='utf-8')
# Python 3 (???): b'<Person Name="\xed\x81\xac\xeb\xa6\xac\xec\x8a\xa4" />'
# Python 3 (John): b'<Person Name="John" />'

# Python 2 (???): <Person Name="???" />             <-------- Python 2
# Python 2 (John): <Person Name="John" />

ElementTree.tostring(xml).decode()
# Python 3 (???): <Person Name="&#53356;&#47532;&#49828;" />

What is the functionality of setSoTimeout and how it works?

Does it mean that I'm blocking reading any input from the Server/Client for this socket for 2000 millisecond and after this time the socket is ready to read data?

No, it means that if no data arrives within 2000ms a SocketTimeoutException will be thrown.

What does it mean timeout expire?

It means the 2000ms (in your case) elapses without any data arriving.

What is the option which must be enabled prior to blocking operation?

There isn't one that 'must be' enabled. If you mean 'may be enabled', this is one of them.

Infinite Timeout menas that the socket does't read anymore?

What a strange suggestion. It means that if no data ever arrives you will block in the read forever.

Easy way to build Android UI?

Java HTTP Client Request with defined timeout

HttpParams is deprecated in the new Apache HTTPClient library. Using the code provided by Laz leads to deprecation warnings.

I suggest to use RequestConfig instead on your HttpGet or HttpPost instance:

final RequestConfig params = RequestConfig.custom().setConnectTimeout(3000).setSocketTimeout(3000).build();
httpPost.setConfig(params);

How to Call Controller Actions using JQuery in ASP.NET MVC

We can call Controller method using Javascript / Jquery very easily as follows:

Suppose following is the Controller method to be called returning an array of some class objects. Let the class is 'A'

public JsonResult SubMenu_Click(string param1, string param2)

    {
       A[] arr = null;
        try
        {
            Processing...
           Get Result and fill arr.

        }
        catch { }


        return Json(arr , JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

    }

Following is the complex type (class)

 public class A
 {

  public string property1 {get ; set ;}

  public string property2 {get ; set ;}

 }

Now it was turn to call above controller method by JQUERY. Following is the Jquery function to call the controller method.

function callControllerMethod(value1 , value2) {
    var strMethodUrl = '@Url.Action("SubMenu_Click", "Home")?param1=value1 &param2=value2'
    $.getJSON(strMethodUrl, receieveResponse);
}


function receieveResponse(response) {

    if (response != null) {
        for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
           alert(response[i].property1);
        }
    }
}

In the above Jquery function 'callControllerMethod' we develop controller method url and put that in a variable named 'strMehodUrl' and call getJSON method of Jquery API.

receieveResponse is the callback function receiving the response or return value of the controllers method.

Here we made use of JSON , since we can't make use of the C# class object

directly into the javascript function , so we converted the result (arr) in controller method into JSON object as follows:

Json(arr , JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

and returned that Json object.

Now in callback function of the Javascript / JQuery we can make use of this resultant JSON object and work accordingly to show response data on UI.

WPF Datagrid Get Selected Cell Value

If you are selecting only one cell then get selected cell content like this

var cellInfo = dataGrid1.SelectedCells[0];

var content = cellInfo.Column.GetCellContent(cellInfo.Item);

Here content will be your selected cells value

And if you are selecting multiple cells then you can do it like this

var cellInfos = dataGrid1.SelectedCells;

var list1 = new List<string>();

foreach (DataGridCellInfo cellInfo in cellInfos)
{
    if (cellInfo.IsValid)
    {
        //GetCellContent returns FrameworkElement
        var content= cellInfo.Column.GetCellContent(cellInfo.Item); 

        //Need to add the extra lines of code below to get desired output

        //get the datacontext from FrameworkElement and typecast to DataRowView
        var row = (DataRowView)content.DataContext;

        //ItemArray returns an object array with single element
        object[] obj = row.Row.ItemArray;

        //store the obj array in a list or Arraylist for later use
        list1.Add(obj[0].ToString());
    }
}

Transport security has blocked a cleartext HTTP

Transport security is available on iOS 9.0 or later. You may have this warning when trying to call a WS inside your application:

Application Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.

Adding the following to your Info.plist will disable ATS:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
     <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>

HTTP Content-Type Header and JSON

The below code helps me to return a JSON object for JavaScript on the front end

My template code

template_file.json

{
    "name": "{{name}}"
}

Python backed code

def download_json(request):
    print("Downloading JSON")
    # Response render a template as JSON object
    return HttpResponse(render_to_response("template_file.json",dict(name="Alex Vera")),content_type="application/json")    

File url.py

url(r'^download_as_json/$', views.download_json, name='download_json-url')

jQuery code for the front end

  $.ajax({
        url:'{% url 'download_json-url' %}'        
    }).done(function(data){
        console.log('json ', data);
        console.log('Name', data.name);
        alert('hello ' + data.name);
    });

Play audio with Python

It's Simple. I did it this way.

For a wav file

from IPython.display import Audio
from scipy.io.wavfile import read

fs, data = read('StarWars60.wav', mmap=True)  # fs - sampling frequency
data = data.reshape(-1, 1)
Audio(data = data[:, 0], rate = fs)

For mp3 file

import IPython.display import Audio

Audio('audio_file_name.mp3')

ADB Driver and Windows 8.1

UPDATE: Post with images ? English Version | Versión en Español


If Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43:

  • Install this Compatibility update from Windows.
  • If you already have this update but you get this error, restart your PC (unfortunately, it happened to me, I tried everything until I thought what if I restart...).

If the device is listed in Device Manager as Other devices -> Android but reports an error code 28:

  • Google USB Driver didn't work for me. You could try your corresponding OEM USB Drivers, but in my case my device is not listed there.
  • So, install the latest Samsung drivers: SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.7.23.0
  • Restart the computer (very important)
  • Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
  • Select Browse my computer for driver software
  • Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
  • Select ADB Interface from the list
  • Select SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface (this is a signed driver). If you get a warning, select Yes to continue.
  • Done!

By doing this I was able to use my tablet for development under Windows 8.1.

Note: This solution uses Samsung drivers but works for other devices.

What is external linkage and internal linkage?

In C++

Any variable at file scope and that is not nested inside a class or function, is visible throughout all translation units in a program. This is called external linkage because at link time the name is visible to the linker everywhere, external to that translation unit.

Global variables and ordinary functions have external linkage.

Static object or function name at file scope is local to translation unit. That is called as Internal Linkage

Linkage refers only to elements that have addresses at link/load time; thus, class declarations and local variables have no linkage.

Read/Write 'Extended' file properties (C#)

Jerker's answer is little simpler. Here's sample code which works from MS:

var folder = new Shell().NameSpace(folderPath);
foreach (FolderItem2 item in folder.Items())
{
    var company = item.ExtendedProperty("Company");
    var author = item.ExtendedProperty("Author");
    // Etc.
}

For those who can't reference shell32 statically, you can invoke it dynamically like this:

var shellAppType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Shell.Application");
dynamic shellApp = Activator.CreateInstance(shellAppType);
var folder = shellApp.NameSpace(folderPath);
foreach (var item in folder.Items())
{
    var company = item.ExtendedProperty("Company");
    var author = item.ExtendedProperty("Author");
    // Etc.
}

Ajax Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource

I used the header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); method but still received the CORS error. It turns out that the PHP script that was being requested had an error in it (I had forgotten to add a period (.) when concatenating two variables). Once I fixed that typo, it worked!

So, It seems that the remote script being called cannot have errors within it.

AngularJS : How to watch service variables?

while facing a very similar issue I watched a function in scope and had the function return the service variable. I have created a js fiddle. you can find the code below.

    var myApp = angular.module("myApp",[]);

myApp.factory("randomService", function($timeout){
    var retValue = {};
    var data = 0;

    retValue.startService = function(){
        updateData();
    }

    retValue.getData = function(){
        return data;
    }

    function updateData(){
        $timeout(function(){
            data = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
            updateData()
        }, 500);
    }

How to use Bootstrap in an Angular project?

The most popular option is to use some third party library distributed as npm package like ng2-bootstrap project https://github.com/valor-software/ng2-bootstrap or Angular UI Bootstrap library.

I personally use ng2-bootstrap. There are many ways to configure it, because configuration depends on how your Angular project is build. Underneath I post example configuration based on Angular 2 QuickStart project https://github.com/angular/quickstart

Firstly we add dependencies in our package.json

    { ...
"dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "~2.4.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "~2.4.0",
    "@angular/core": "~2.4.0",

    ...

    "bootstrap": "^3.3.7",
    "ng2-bootstrap": "1.1.16-11"
  },
... }

Then we have to map names to proper URL's in systemjs.config.js

(function (global) {
  System.config({
    ...
    // map tells the System loader where to look for things
    map: {
      // our app is within the app folder
      app: 'app',

      // angular bundles
      '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js',
      '@angular/common': 'npm:@angular/common/bundles/common.umd.js',
      '@angular/compiler': 'npm:@angular/compiler/bundles/compiler.umd.js',
      '@angular/platform-browser': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser.umd.js',
      '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/bundles/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js',
      '@angular/http': 'npm:@angular/http/bundles/http.umd.js',
      '@angular/router': 'npm:@angular/router/bundles/router.umd.js',
      '@angular/forms': 'npm:@angular/forms/bundles/forms.umd.js',

      //bootstrap
      'moment': 'npm:moment/bundles/moment.umd.js',
      'ng2-bootstrap': 'npm:ng2-bootstrap/bundles/ng2-bootstrap.umd.js',

      // other libraries
      'rxjs':                      'npm:rxjs',
      'angular-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js'
    },
...
  });
})(this);

We have to import bootstrap .css file in index.html. We can get it from /node_modules/bootstrap directory on our hard drive (because we added bootstrap 3.3.7 dependency) or from web. There we are obtaining it from web:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    ...
    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    ...
  </head>

  <body>
    <my-app>Loading...</my-app>
  </body>
</html>

We should edit our app.module.ts file from /app directory

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

//bootstrap alert import part 1
import {AlertModule} from 'ng2-bootstrap';

import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';


@NgModule({
  //bootstrap alert import part 2
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, AlertModule.forRoot() ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

And finally our app.component.ts file from /app directory

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

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <alert type="success">
        Well done!
    </alert>
    `
})

export class AppComponent {

    constructor() { }

}

Then we have to install our bootstrap and ng2-bootstrap dependencies before we run our app. We should go to our project directory and type

npm install

Finally we can start our app

npm start

There are many code samples on ng2-bootstrap project github showing how to import ng2-bootstrap to various Angular 2 project builds. There is even plnkr sample. There is also API documentation on Valor-software (authors of the library) website.

"Line contains NULL byte" in CSV reader (Python)

A tricky way:

If you develop under Lunux, you can use all the power of sed:

from subprocess import check_call, CalledProcessError

PATH_TO_FILE = '/home/user/some/path/to/file.csv'

try:
    check_call("sed -i -e 's|\\x0||g' {}".format(PATH_TO_FILE), shell=True)
except CalledProcessError as err:
    print(err)    

The most efficient solution for huge files.

Ansible: create a user with sudo privileges

Sometimes it's knowing what to ask. I didn't know as I am a developer who has taken on some DevOps work.

Apparently 'passwordless' or NOPASSWD login is a thing which you need to put in the /etc/sudoers file.

The answer to my question is at Ansible: best practice for maintaining list of sudoers.

The Ansible playbook code fragment looks like this from my problem:

- name: Make sure we have a 'wheel' group
  group:
    name: wheel
    state: present

- name: Allow 'wheel' group to have passwordless sudo
  lineinfile:
    dest: /etc/sudoers
    state: present
    regexp: '^%wheel'
    line: '%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL'
    validate: 'visudo -cf %s'

- name: Add sudoers users to wheel group
  user:
    name=deployer
    groups=wheel
    append=yes
    state=present
    createhome=yes

- name: Set up authorized keys for the deployer user
  authorized_key: user=deployer key="{{item}}"
  with_file:
    - /home/railsdev/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

And the best part is that the solution is idempotent. It doesn't add the line

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

to /etc/sudoers when the playbook is run a subsequent time. And yes...I was able to ssh into the server as "deployer" and run sudo commands without having to give a password.

How to initialize an array in Kotlin with values?

In Kotlin There are Several Ways.

var arr = IntArray(size) // construct with only size

Then simply initial value from users or from another collection or wherever you want.

var arr = IntArray(size){0}  // construct with size and fill array with 0
var arr = IntArray(size){it} // construct with size and fill with its index

We also can create array with built in function like-

var arr = intArrayOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) // create an array with 5 values

Another way

var arr = Array(size){0} // it will create an integer array
var arr = Array<String>(size){"$it"} // this will create array with "0", "1", "2" and so on.

You also can use doubleArrayOf() or DoubleArray() or any primitive type instead of Int.

React img tag issue with url and class

var Hello = React.createClass({

        <div className="divClass">
           <img src={this.props.url} alt={`${this.props.title}'s picture`}  className="img-responsive" />
           <span>Hello {this.props.name}</span>
        </div>
      );
    }
});

Format JavaScript date as yyyy-mm-dd

format = function date2str(x, y) {
    var z = {
        M: x.getMonth() + 1,
        d: x.getDate(),
        h: x.getHours(),
        m: x.getMinutes(),
        s: x.getSeconds()
    };
    y = y.replace(/(M+|d+|h+|m+|s+)/g, function(v) {
        return ((v.length > 1 ? "0" : "") + z[v.slice(-1)]).slice(-2)
    });

    return y.replace(/(y+)/g, function(v) {
        return x.getFullYear().toString().slice(-v.length)
    });
}

Result:

format(new Date('Sun May 11,2014'), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
"2014-05-11

How to check if object has any properties in JavaScript?

for(var memberName in ad)
{
  //Member Name: memberName
  //Member Value: ad[memberName]
}

Member means Member property, member variable, whatever you want to call it >_>

The above code will return EVERYTHING, including toString... If you only want to see if the object's prototype has been extended:

var dummyObj = {};  
for(var memberName in ad)
{
  if(typeof(dummyObj[memberName]) == typeof(ad[memberName])) continue; //note A
  //Member Name: memberName
  //Member Value: ad[memberName]

}

Note A: We check to see if the dummy object's member has the same type as our testing object's member. If it is an extend, dummyobject's member type should be "undefined"

Angularjs action on click of button

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

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

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

Next, update your controller:

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

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

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

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

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

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

and

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

In the controller add:

$scope.showQuantityResult = false;

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

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

These updates can be seen in this JSBin demo.

Where does forever store console.log output?

Need to do normal forever start script.js to start, and to check console/error logs use forever logs this will print list of all logs being stored by forever and then you can use tail -f /path/to/logs/file.log and this will print live logs to your window. hit ctrl+z to stop logs print.

How can I run PowerShell with the .NET 4 runtime?

Actually, you can get PowerShell to run using .NET 4 without affecting other .NET applications. I needed to do so to use the new HttpWebRequest "Host" property, however changing the "OnlyUseLatestCLR" broke Fiddler as that could not be used under .NET 4.

The developers of PowerShell obviously foresaw this happening, and they added a registry key to specify what version of the Framework it should use. One slight issue is that you need to take ownership of the registry key before changing it, as even administrators do not have access.

  • HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Powershell\1\PowerShellEngine\RuntimeVersion (64 bit and 32 bit)
  • HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Powershell\1\PowerShellEngine\RuntimeVersion (32 bit on 64 bit machine)

Change the value of that key to the required version. Keep in mind though that some snapins may no longer load unless they are .NET 4 compatible (WASP is the only one I have had trouble with, but I don't really use it anyway). VMWare, SQL Server 2008, PSCX, Active Directory (Microsoft and Quest Software) and SCOM all work fine.

Why can't DateTime.Parse parse UTC date

It can't parse that string because "UTC" is not a valid time zone designator.

UTC time is denoted by adding a 'Z' to the end of the time string, so your parsing code should look like this:

DateTime.Parse("Tue, 1 Jan 2008 00:00:00Z");

From the Wikipedia article on ISO 8601

If the time is in UTC, add a 'Z' directly after the time without a space. 'Z' is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset. "09:30 UTC" is therefore represented as "09:30Z" or "0930Z". "14:45:15 UTC" would be "14:45:15Z" or "144515Z".

UTC time is also known as 'Zulu' time, since 'Zulu' is the NATO phonetic alphabet word for 'Z'.

How to wait 5 seconds with jQuery?

The Underscore library also provides a "delay" function:

_.delay(function(msg) { console.log(msg); }, 5000, 'Hello');

Send Message in C#

You don't need to send messages.

Add an event to the one form and an event handler to the other. Then you can use a third project which references the other two to attach the event handler to the event. The two DLLs don't need to reference each other for this to work.

Understanding CUDA grid dimensions, block dimensions and threads organization (simple explanation)

Suppose a 9800GT GPU:

  • it has 14 multiprocessors (SM)
  • each SM has 8 thread-processors (AKA stream-processors, SP or cores)
  • allows up to 512 threads per block
  • warpsize is 32 (which means each of the 14x8=112 thread-processors can schedule up to 32 threads)

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cuda/cuda_threads.htm

A block cannot have more active threads than 512 therefore __syncthreads can only synchronize limited number of threads. i.e. If you execute the following with 600 threads:

func1();
__syncthreads();
func2();
__syncthreads();

then the kernel must run twice and the order of execution will be:

  1. func1 is executed for the first 512 threads
  2. func2 is executed for the first 512 threads
  3. func1 is executed for the remaining threads
  4. func2 is executed for the remaining threads

Note:

The main point is __syncthreads is a block-wide operation and it does not synchronize all threads.


I'm not sure about the exact number of threads that __syncthreads can synchronize, since you can create a block with more than 512 threads and let the warp handle the scheduling. To my understanding it's more accurate to say: func1 is executed at least for the first 512 threads.

Before I edited this answer (back in 2010) I measured 14x8x32 threads were synchronized using __syncthreads.

I would greatly appreciate if someone test this again for a more accurate piece of information.

C# int to enum conversion

Casting should be enough. If you're using C# 3.0 you can make a handy extension method to parse enum values:

public static TEnum ToEnum<TInput, TEnum>(this TInput value)
{
    Type type = typeof(TEnum);

    if (value == default(TInput))
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Value is null or empty.", "value");
    }

    if (!type.IsEnum)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Enum expected.", "TEnum");
    }

    return (TEnum)Enum.Parse(type, value.ToString(), true);
}

What is a Python equivalent of PHP's var_dump()?

The closest thing to PHP's var_dump() is pprint() with the getmembers() function in the built-in inspect module:

from inspect import getmembers

pprint(getmembers(yourObj))

What is the difference between Session.Abandon() and Session.Clear()

This is sort of covered by the various responses above, but the first time I read this article I missed an important fact, which led to a minor bug in my code...

Session.Clear() will CLEAR the values of all the keys but will NOT cause the session end event to fire.

Session.Abandon() will NOT clear the values on the current request. IF another page is requested, the values will be gone for that one. However, abandon WILL throw the event.

So, in my case (and perhaps in yours?), I needed Clear() followed by Abandon().

QED symbol in latex

Condition within JOIN or WHERE

Putting the condition in the join seems "semantically wrong" to me, as that's not what JOINs are "for". But that's very qualitative.

Additional problem: if you decide to switch from an inner join to, say, a right join, having the condition be inside the JOIN could lead to unexpected results.

XCOPY: Overwrite all without prompt in BATCH

The solution is the /Y switch:

Jdbctemplate query for string: EmptyResultDataAccessException: Incorrect result size: expected 1, actual 0

IMHO returning a null is a bad solution because now you have the problem of sending and interpreting it at the (likely) front end client. I had the same error and I solved it by simply returning a List<FooObject>. I used JDBCTemplate.query().

At the front end (Angular web client), I simply examine the list and if it is empty (of zero length), treat it as no records found.

How to use font-family lato?

Download it from here and extract LatoOFL.rar then go to TTF and open this font-face-generator click at Choose File choose font which you want to use and click at generate then download it and then go html file open it and you see the code like this

@font-face {
        font-family: "Lato Black";
        src: url('698242188-Lato-Bla.eot');
        src: url('698242188-Lato-Bla.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('698242188-Lato-Bla.svg#Lato Black') format('svg'),
        url('698242188-Lato-Bla.woff') format('woff'),
        url('698242188-Lato-Bla.ttf') format('truetype');
        font-weight: normal;
        font-style: normal;
}
body{
    font-family: "Lato Black";
    direction: ltr;
}

change the src code and give the url where your this font directory placed, now you can use it at your website...

If you don't want to download it use this

<link type='text/css' href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700' />

git remove merge commit from history

To Just Remove a Merge Commit

If all you want to do is to remove a merge commit (2) so that it is like it never happened, the command is simply as follows

git rebase --onto <sha of 1> <sha of 2> <blue branch>

And now the purple branch isn't in the commit log of blue at all and you have two separate branches again. You can then squash the purple independently and do whatever other manipulations you want without the merge commit in the way.

What is the actual use of Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver") while connecting to a database?

Use oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver, not oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. You do not need to register it if the driver jar file is in the "WEB-INF\lib" directory, if you are using Tomcat. Save this as test.jsp and put it in your web directory, and redeploy your web app folder in Tomcat manager:

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Simple JSP Oracle Test</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>

Connection conn = null;
try {
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX:dbName", "user", "password");
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    out.println("Connection established!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    out.println("Exception: " + ex.getMessage() + "");

}
finally
{
    if (conn != null) {
        try {
            conn.close();

Convert string to date in bash

We can use date -d option

1) Change format to "%Y-%m-%d" format i.e 20121212 to 2012-12-12

date -d '20121212' +'%Y-%m-%d'

2)Get next or last day from a given date=20121212. Like get a date 7 days in past with specific format

date -d '20121212 -7 days' +'%Y-%m-%d'

3) If we are getting date in some variable say dat

dat2=$(date -d "$dat -1 days" +'%Y%m%d')

Temporarily change current working directory in bash to run a command

bash has a builtin

pushd SOME_PATH
run_stuff
...
...
popd 

Set time to 00:00:00

Another simple way,

final Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
        today.setTime(new Date());
        today.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        today.clear(Calendar.HOUR);
        today.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
        today.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
        today.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);

How to draw a filled triangle in android canvas?

You probably need to do something like :

Paint red = new Paint();

red.setColor(android.graphics.Color.RED);
red.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);

And use this color for your path, instead of your ARGB. Make sure the last point of your path ends on the first one, it makes sense also.

Tell me if it works please !

How to set the title of UIButton as left alignment?

Swift 4+

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .left
button.contentVerticalAlignment = .top
button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 10, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)

assign multiple variables to the same value in Javascript

There is another option that does not introduce global gotchas when trying to initialize multiple variables to the same value. Whether or not it is preferable to the long way is a judgement call. It will likely be slower and may or may not be more readable. In your specific case, I think that the long way is probably more readable and maintainable as well as being faster.

The other way utilizes Destructuring assignment.

_x000D_
_x000D_
let [moveUp, moveDown,_x000D_
     moveLeft, moveRight,_x000D_
     mouseDown, touchDown] = Array(6).fill(false);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(JSON.stringify({_x000D_
    moveUp, moveDown,_x000D_
    moveLeft, moveRight,_x000D_
    mouseDown, touchDown_x000D_
}, null, '  '));_x000D_
_x000D_
// NOTE: If you want to do this with objects, you would be safer doing this_x000D_
let [obj1, obj2, obj3] = Array(3).fill(null).map(() => ({}));_x000D_
console.log(JSON.stringify({_x000D_
    obj1, obj2, obj3_x000D_
}, null, '  '));_x000D_
// So that each array element is a unique object_x000D_
_x000D_
// Or another cool trick would be to use an infinite generator_x000D_
let [a, b, c, d] = (function*() { while (true) yield {x: 0, y: 0} })();_x000D_
console.log(JSON.stringify({_x000D_
    a, b, c, d_x000D_
}, null, '  '));_x000D_
_x000D_
// Or generic fixed generator function_x000D_
function* nTimes(n, f) {_x000D_
    for(let i = 0; i < n; i++) {_x000D_
        yield f();_x000D_
    }_x000D_
}_x000D_
let [p1, p2, p3] = [...nTimes(3, () => ({ x: 0, y: 0 }))];_x000D_
console.log(JSON.stringify({_x000D_
    p1, p2, p3_x000D_
}, null, '  '));
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This allows you to initialize a set of var, let, or const variables to the same value on a single line all with the same expected scope.

How to Migrate to WKWebView?

You have to use WKWebView, which is available as of iOS8 in Framework 'WebKit' to get the speedup. If you need backwards compatibility, you have to use UIWebView for iOS7 and older.

I set up a little code to provide the UIViewController frame for the new WKWebView. It can be installed via cocoapods. Have a look here:

How to add new column to MYSQL table?

You should look into normalizing your database to avoid creating columns at runtime.

Make 3 tables:

  1. assessment
  2. question
  3. assessment_question (columns assessmentId, questionId)

Put questions and assessments in their respective tables and link them together through assessment_question using foreign keys.

How to get all count of mongoose model?

You should give an object as argument

userModel.count({name: "sam"});

or

userModel.count({name: "sam"}).exec(); //if you are using promise

or

userModel.count({}); // if you want to get all counts irrespective of the fields

On the recent version of mongoose, count() is deprecated so use

userModel.countDocuments({name: "sam"});

Find multiple files and rename them in Linux

You can use find to find all matching files recursively:

$ find . -iname "*dbg*" -exec rename _dbg.txt .txt '{}' \;

EDIT: what the '{}' and \; are?

The -exec argument makes find execute rename for every matching file found. '{}' will be replaced with the path name of the file. The last token, \; is there only to mark the end of the exec expression.

All that is described nicely in the man page for find:

 -exec utility [argument ...] ;
         True if the program named utility returns a zero value as its
         exit status.  Optional arguments may be passed to the utility.
         The expression must be terminated by a semicolon (``;'').  If you
         invoke find from a shell you may need to quote the semicolon if
         the shell would otherwise treat it as a control operator.  If the
         string ``{}'' appears anywhere in the utility name or the argu-
         ments it is replaced by the pathname of the current file.
         Utility will be executed from the directory from which find was
         executed.  Utility and arguments are not subject to the further
         expansion of shell patterns and constructs.

Including jars in classpath on commandline (javac or apt)

Use the -cp or -classpath switch.

$ java -help  
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]  
           (to execute a class)  
   or  java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]  
           (to execute a jar file)  

where options include:  
...  
    -cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>  
    -classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>  
                  A ; separated list of directories, JAR archives,  
                  and ZIP archives to search for class files.  

(Note that the separator used to separate entries on the classpath differs between OSes, on my Windows machine it is ;, in *nix it is usually :.)

How can I convert an HTML table to CSV?

Here's a short Python program I wrote to complete this task. It was written in a couple of minutes, so it can probably be made better. Not sure how it'll handle nested tables (probably it'll do bad stuff) or multiple tables (probably they'll just appear one after another). It doesn't handle colspan or rowspan. Enjoy.

from HTMLParser import HTMLParser

How to redirect to another page using PHP

Although not secure, (no offense or anything), just stick the header function after you set the session variable

    }
header('Location: /profile.php');

Reset textbox value in javascript

How can I remount my Android/system as read-write in a bash script using adb?

Probable cause that remount fails is you are not running adb as root.

Shell Script should be as follow.

# Script to mount Android Device as read/write.
# List the Devices.
adb devices;

# Run adb as root (Needs root access).
adb root;

# Since you're running as root su is not required
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /;

If this fails, you could try the below:

# List the Devices.
adb devices;

# Run adb as root
adb root;

adb remount;
adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /";

To find which user you are:

$ adb shell whoami

Regular expression for not allowing spaces in the input field

If you're using some plugin which takes string and use construct Regex to create Regex Object i:e new RegExp()

Than Below string will work

'^\\S*$'

It's same regex @Bergi mentioned just the string version for new RegExp constructor

How to get current value of RxJS Subject or Observable?

The only way you should be getting values "out of" an Observable/Subject is with subscribe!

If you're using getValue() you're doing something imperative in declarative paradigm. It's there as an escape hatch, but 99.9% of the time you should NOT use getValue(). There are a few interesting things that getValue() will do: It will throw an error if the subject has been unsubscribed, it will prevent you from getting a value if the subject is dead because it's errored, etc. But, again, it's there as an escape hatch for rare circumstances.

There are several ways of getting the latest value from a Subject or Observable in a "Rx-y" way:

  1. Using BehaviorSubject: But actually subscribing to it. When you first subscribe to BehaviorSubject it will synchronously send the previous value it received or was initialized with.
  2. Using a ReplaySubject(N): This will cache N values and replay them to new subscribers.
  3. A.withLatestFrom(B): Use this operator to get the most recent value from observable B when observable A emits. Will give you both values in an array [a, b].
  4. A.combineLatest(B): Use this operator to get the most recent values from A and B every time either A or B emits. Will give you both values in an array.
  5. shareReplay(): Makes an Observable multicast through a ReplaySubject, but allows you to retry the observable on error. (Basically it gives you that promise-y caching behavior).
  6. publishReplay(), publishBehavior(initialValue), multicast(subject: BehaviorSubject | ReplaySubject), etc: Other operators that leverage BehaviorSubject and ReplaySubject. Different flavors of the same thing, they basically multicast the source observable by funneling all notifications through a subject. You need to call connect() to subscribe to the source with the subject.

Property 'value' does not exist on type 'EventTarget'

fromEvent<KeyboardEvent>(document.querySelector('#searcha') as HTMLInputElement , 'keyup')
    .pipe(
      debounceTime(500),
      distinctUntilChanged(),
      map(e  => {
            return e.target['value']; // <-- target does not exist on {}
        })
    ).subscribe(k => console.log(k));

Maybe something like the above could help. Change it based on the real code. The issue is ........ target['value']

Pandas Merge - How to avoid duplicating columns

Building on @rprog's answer, you can combine the various pieces of the suffix & filter step into one line using a negative regex:

dfNew = df.merge(df2, left_index=True, right_index=True,
             how='outer', suffixes=('', '_DROP')).filter(regex='^(?!.*_DROP)')

Or using df.join:

dfNew = df.join(df2, lsuffix="DROP").filter(regex="^(?!.*DROP)")

The regex here is keeping anything that does not end with the word "DROP", so just make sure to use a suffix that doesn't appear among the columns already.

How to len(generator())

Suppose we have a generator:

def gen():
    for i in range(10):
        yield i

We can wrap the generator, along with the known length, in an object:

import itertools
class LenGen(object):
    def __init__(self,gen,length):
        self.gen=gen
        self.length=length
    def __call__(self):
        return itertools.islice(self.gen(),self.length)
    def __len__(self):
        return self.length

lgen=LenGen(gen,10)

Instances of LenGen are generators themselves, since calling them returns an iterator.

Now we can use the lgen generator in place of gen, and access len(lgen) as well:

def new_gen():
    for i in lgen():
        yield float(i)/len(lgen)

for i in new_gen():
    print(i)

Parse DateTime string in JavaScript

This function handles also the invalid 29.2.2001 date.

function parseDate(str) {
    var dateParts = str.split(".");

        return null;
    var year = dateParts[2];
    var month = dateParts[1];
    var day = dateParts[0];

    if (isNaN(day) || isNaN(month) || isNaN(year))
        return null;

    var result = new Date(year, (month - 1), day);
    if (result == null)
        return null;
    if (result.getDate() != day)
        return null;
    if (result.getMonth() != (month - 1))
        return null;
    if (result.getFullYear() != year)
        return null;

    return result;
}

Android EditText delete(backspace) key event

It's been a while since you asked but I just had the same issue. As already mentioned by Estel the problem with key listeners is that they only work with hardware keyboards. To do this with an IME (soft keyboard), the solution is a bit more elaborate.

The single method we actually want to override is sendKeyEvent in the EditText's InputConnection class. This method is called when key events occur in an IME. But in order to override this, we need to implement a custom EditText which overrides the onCreateInputConnection method, wrapping the default InputConnection object in a proxy class! :|

Sounds complicated, but here's the simplest example I could contrive:

public class ZanyEditText extends EditText {

    private Random r = new Random();

    public ZanyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public ZanyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public ZanyEditText(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public void setRandomBackgroundColor() {
        setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(r.nextInt(256), r.nextInt(256), r
                .nextInt(256)));
    }

    @Override
    public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) {
        return new ZanyInputConnection(super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs),
                true);
    }

    private class ZanyInputConnection extends InputConnectionWrapper {

        public ZanyInputConnection(InputConnection target, boolean mutable) {
            super(target, mutable);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean sendKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
            if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN
                    && event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DEL) {
                ZanyEditText.this.setRandomBackgroundColor();
                // Un-comment if you wish to cancel the backspace:
                // return false;
            }
            return super.sendKeyEvent(event);
        }

    }

}

The line with the call to setRandomBackgroundColor is where my special backspace action occurs. In this case, changing the EditText's background colour.

If you're inflating this from XML remember to use the full package name as the tag:

<cc.buttfu.test.ZanyEditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/somefield"
></cc.buttfu.test.ZanyEditText>

How to set socket timeout in C when making multiple connections?

am not sure if I fully understand the issue, but guess it's related to the one I had, am using Qt with TCP socket communication, all non-blocking, both Windows and Linux..

wanted to get a quick notification when an already connected client failed or completely disappeared, and not waiting the default 900+ seconds until the disconnect signal got raised. The trick to get this working was to set the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option of the SOL_TCP layer to the required value, given in milliseconds.

this is a comparably new option, pls see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5482, but apparently it's working fine, tried it with WinXP, Win7/x64 and Kubuntu 12.04/x64, my choice of 10 s turned out to be a bit longer, but much better than anything else I've tried before ;-)

the only issue I came across was to find the proper includes, as apparently this isn't added to the standard socket includes (yet..), so finally I defined them myself as follows:

#ifdef WIN32
    #include <winsock2.h>
#else
    #include <sys/socket.h>
#endif

#ifndef SOL_TCP
    #define SOL_TCP 6  // socket options TCP level
#endif
#ifndef TCP_USER_TIMEOUT
    #define TCP_USER_TIMEOUT 18  // how long for loss retry before timeout [ms]
#endif

setting this socket option only works when the client is already connected, the lines of code look like:

int timeout = 10000;  // user timeout in milliseconds [ms]
setsockopt (fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, (char*) &timeout, sizeof (timeout));

and the failure of an initial connect is caught by a timer started when calling connect(), as there will be no signal of Qt for this, the connect signal will no be raised, as there will be no connection, and the disconnect signal will also not be raised, as there hasn't been a connection yet..

How to get out of while loop in java with Scanner method "hasNext" as condition?

Modify the while loop as below. Declare s1 as String s1; one time outside the loop. To end the loop, simply use ctrl+z.

  while (sc.hasNext())
  {    
    s1 = sc.next();
    System.out.println(s1);
    System.out.print("Enter your sentence: ");
  }

Cleanest way to build an SQL string in Java

How do you get string concatenation, aside from long SQL strings in PreparedStatements (that you could easily provide in a text file and load as a resource anyway) that you break over several lines?

You aren't creating SQL strings directly are you? That's the biggest no-no in programming. Please use PreparedStatements, and supply the data as parameters. It reduces the chance of SQL Injection vastly.

How to sort an array in descending order in Ruby

What about:

Uninstall Django completely

On Windows, I had this issue with static files cropping up under pydev/eclipse with python 2.7, due to an instance of django (1.8.7) that had been installed under cygwin. This caused a conflict between windows style paths and cygwin style paths. So, unfindable static files despite all the above fixes. I removed the extra distribution (so that all packages were installed by pip under windows) and this fixed the issue.

Wait until ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll finishes - VBA

I had the same issue, however DoEvents didn't help me as my data connections had background-refresh enabled. Instead, using Wayne G. Dunn's answer as a jumping-off point, I created the following solution, which works just fine for me;

Sub Refresh_All_Data_Connections()

    For Each objConnection In ThisWorkbook.Connections
        'Get current background-refresh value
        bBackground = objConnection.OLEDBConnection.BackgroundQuery

        'Temporarily disable background-refresh
        objConnection.OLEDBConnection.BackgroundQuery = False

        'Refresh this connection
        objConnection.Refresh

        'Set background-refresh value back to original value
        objConnection.OLEDBConnection.BackgroundQuery = bBackground
    Next

    MsgBox "Finished refreshing all data connections"

End Sub

The MsgBox is for testing only and can be removed once you're happy the code waits.

Also, I prefer ThisWorkbook to ActiveWorkbook as I know it will target the workbook where the code resides, just in case focus changes. Nine times out of ten this won't matter, but I like to err on the side of caution.

EDIT: Just saw your edit about using an xlConnectionTypeXMLMAP connection which does not have a BackgroundQuery option, sorry. I'll leave the above for anyone (like me) looking for a way to refresh OLEDBConnection types.

python and sys.argv

I would do it this way:

def main(argv):
    if len(argv) < 2:
        sys.stderr.write("Usage: %s <database>" % (argv[0],))
        return 1

    if not os.path.exists(argv[1]):
        sys.stderr.write("ERROR: Database %r was not found!" % (argv[1],))
        return 1

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))

This allows main() to be imported into other modules if desired, and simplifies debugging because you can choose what argv should be.

Can you change a path without reloading the controller in AngularJS?

Add following inside head tag

  <script type="text/javascript">
    angular.element(document.getElementsByTagName('head')).append(angular.element('<base href="' + window.location.pathname + '" />'));
  </script>

This will prevent the reload.

How to rearrange Pandas column sequence?

You could also do something like this:

df = df[['x', 'y', 'a', 'b']]

You can get the list of columns with:

cols = list(df.columns.values)

The output will produce something like this:

['a', 'b', 'x', 'y']

...which is then easy to rearrange manually before dropping it into the first function

Selecting Values from Oracle Table Variable / Array?

You might need a GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE.

In Oracle these are created once and then when invoked the data is private to your session.

Oracle Documentation Link

Try something like this...

CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE temp_number
   ( number_column   NUMBER( 10, 0 )
   )
   ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;

BEGIN 
   INSERT INTO temp_number
      ( number_column )
      ( select distinct sgbstdn_pidm 
          from sgbstdn 
         where sgbstdn_majr_code_1 = 'HS04' 
           and sgbstdn_program_1 = 'HSCOMPH' 
      ); 

    FOR pidms_rec IN ( SELECT number_column FROM temp_number )
    LOOP 
        -- Do something here
        NULL; 
    END LOOP; 
END;

Convert RGB values to Integer

int rgb = ((r&0x0ff)<<16)|((g&0x0ff)<<8)|(b&0x0ff);

If you know that your r, g, and b values are never > 255 or < 0 you don't need the &0x0ff

Additionaly

int red = (rgb>>16)&0x0ff;
int green=(rgb>>8) &0x0ff;
int blue= (rgb)    &0x0ff;

No need for multipling.

numpy max vs amax vs maximum

You've already stated why np.maximum is different - it returns an array that is the element-wise maximum between two arrays.

As for np.amax and np.max: they both call the same function - np.max is just an alias for np.amax, and they compute the maximum of all elements in an array, or along an axis of an array.

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: np.amax
Out[2]: <function numpy.core.fromnumeric.amax>

In [3]: np.max
Out[3]: <function numpy.core.fromnumeric.amax>

How can I make a jQuery UI 'draggable()' div draggable for touchscreen?

You can try using jquery.pep.js:

jquery.pep.js is a lightweight jQuery plugin which turns any DOM element into a draggable object. It works across mostly all browsers, from old to new, from touch to click. I built it to serve a need in which jQuery UI’s draggable was not fulfilling, since it didn’t work on touch devices (without some hackery).

Using Postman to access OAuth 2.0 Google APIs

This is an old question, but it has no chosen answer, and I just solved this problem myself. Here's my solution:

  1. Make sure you are set up to work with your Google API in the first place. See Google's list of prerequisites. I was working with Google My Business, so I also went through it's Get Started process.

  2. In the OAuth 2.0 playground, Step 1 requires you to select which API you want to authenticate. Select or input as applicable for your case (in my case for Google My Business, I had to input https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.business.manage into the "Input your own scopes" input field). Note: this is the same as what's described in step 6 of the "Make a simple HTTP request" section of the Get Started guide.

  3. Assuming successful authentication, you should get an "Access token" returned in the "Step 1's result" step in the OAuth playground. Copy this token to your clipboard.

  4. Open Postman and open whichever collection you want as necessary.

  5. In Postman, make sure "GET" is selected as the request type, and click on the "Authorization" tab below the request type drop-down.

  6. In the Authorization "TYPE" dropdown menu, select "Bearer Token"

  7. Paste your previously copied "Access Token" which you copied from the OAuth playground into the "Token" field which displays in Postman.

  8. Almost there! To test if things work, put https://mybusiness.googleapis.com/v4/accounts/ into the main URL input bar in Postman and click the send button. You should get a JSON list of accounts back in the response that looks something like the following:

    
    {
        "accounts": [
            {
                "name": "accounts/REDACTED",
                "accountName": "REDACTED",
                "type": "PERSONAL",
                "state": {
                    "status": "UNVERIFIED"
                }
            },
            {
                "name": "accounts/REDACTED",
                "accountName": "REDACTED",
                "type": "LOCATION_GROUP",
                "role": "OWNER",
                "state": {
                    "status": "UNVERIFIED"
                },
                "permissionLevel": "OWNER_LEVEL"
            }
        ]
    }

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host under Git bash

You can get "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" if your sshd service is not operational!

If you have access to the server check you have the sshd service running with:

  ps aux | grep ssh

and check it is listening on port 22:

 netstat -plant | grep :22

How do I specify a password to 'psql' non-interactively?

Set the PGPASSWORD environment variable inside the script before calling psql

PGPASSWORD=pass1234 psql -U MyUsername myDatabaseName

For reference, see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-envars.html


Edit

Since Postgres 9.2 there is also the option to specify a connection string or URI that can contain the username and password.

Using that is a security risk because the password is visible in plain text when looking at the command line of a running process e.g. using ps (Linux), ProcessExplorer (Windows) or similar tools, by other users.

How to add image in Flutter

Create your assets directory the same as lib level

like this

projectName
 -android
 -ios
 -lib
 -assets
 -pubspec.yaml

then your pubspec.yaml like

  flutter:
  assets:
    - assets/images/

now you can use Image.asset("/assets/images/")

Nodejs cannot find installed module on Windows

Add an environment variable called NODE_PATH and set it to %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\npm\node_modules (Windows XP), %AppData%\npm\node_modules (Windows 7/8/10), or wherever npm ends up installing the modules on your Windows flavor. To be done with it once and for all, add this as a System variable in the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog (run control.exe sysdm.cpl,System,3).

Quick solution in Windows 7+ is to just run:

rem for future
setx NODE_PATH %AppData%\npm\node_modules
rem for current session
set NODE_PATH=%AppData%\npm\node_modules

It's worth to mention that NODE_PATH is only used when importing modules in Node apps. When you want to use globally installed modules' binaries in your CLI you need to add it also to your PATH, but without node_modules part (for example %AppData%\npm in Windows 7/8/10).


Old story

I'm pretty much new to node.js myself so I can be not entirely right but from my experience it's works this way:

  1. -g is not a way to install global libraries, it's only a way to place them on system path so you can call them from command line without writing the full path to them. It is useful, for example, then node app is converting local files, like less — if you install it globally you can use it in any directory.
  2. node.js itself didn't look at the npm global dir, it is using another algorithm to find required files: http://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_file_modules (basically its scanning every folder in the path, starting from the current for node_modules folder and checks it).

See similar question for more details: How do I install a module globally using npm?

How to build minified and uncompressed bundle with webpack?

According with this line: https://github.com/pingyuanChen/webpack-uglify-js-plugin/blob/master/index.js#L117

should be something like:

var webpack = require("webpack");

module.exports = {

  entry: "./entry.js",
  devtool: "source-map",
  output: {
    path: "./dist",
    filename: "bundle.js"
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
     minimize: true,
     compress: false
    })
  ]
};

Indeed you can have multiple builds by exporting different configs according your env / argv strategies.

Class 'App\Http\Controllers\DB' not found and I also cannot use a new Model

The problem here are PHP namespaces. You need to learn how to use them. As your controller are in App\Http\Controllers namespace, if you refer any other class, you need to add leading backslash (or proper namespace) or add use statement at the beginning of file (before class definition).

So in your case you could use:

$headquote = \DB::table('quotation_texts')->find(176);
$headquote = \App\Quotation::find(176);

or add in your controller class use statement so the beginning of your controller class could look like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use DB;
use App\Quotation;

For more information about namespaces you could look at How to use objects from other namespaces and how to import namespaces in PHP or namespaces in PHP manual

How to open a URL in a new Tab using JavaScript or jQuery?

I know your question does not specify if you are trying to open all a tags in a new window or only the external links.

But in case you only want external links to open in a new tab you can do this:

$( 'a[href^="http://"]' ).attr( 'target','_blank' )
$( 'a[href^="https://"]' ).attr( 'target','_blank' )

How to simulate browsing from various locations?

So, check your source code and remove duplicate jQuery load.

convert it to base64 maybe here: http://base64converter.com/

then replace the icon base 64 value

general information how to create a personalized fav icon

icons are made using photoshop or inkscape, maybe inkscape then photoshop for vibrance and color correction (in image->adjustments menu).

for quick icon goto http://www.clker.com/ and pick some Vector Clip Arts, and download as svg. then bring it to inkscape (https://inkscape.org/) and change colors or delete parts, maybe add something from another vector clipart image, then to export select the parts to export and click file>export, pick size like 16x16 for favicon or 32x32. for further edit 128x128 or 256x256. ico package can have several icon sizes inside. it can have along with 16x16 pixel favicon a high quality icons for link for the website.

then maybe enhance the image in photoshop. like vibrance, bevel effect, round mask, anything.

then upload this image to one of the websites that generate favicons. there are also programs for windows for editing icons like https://sourceforge.net/projects/variicons/ .

to add the favicon to website. just put the favicon.ico as a file in the root folder of the domain. for example in node.js in public folder that contains the static files. it doesn't have to be anything special like code above just a simple file.

What is a Y-combinator?

Anonymous recursion

A fixed-point combinator is a higher-order function fix that by definition satisfies the equivalence

forall f.  fix f  =  f (fix f)

fix f represents a solution x to the fixed-point equation

               x  =  f x

The factorial of a natural number can be proved by

fact 0 = 1
fact n = n * fact (n - 1)

Using fix, arbitrary constructive proofs over general/µ-recursive functions can be derived without nonymous self-referentiality.

fact n = (fix fact') n

where

fact' rec n = if n == 0
                then 1
                else n * rec (n - 1)

such that

   fact 3
=  (fix fact') 3
=  fact' (fix fact') 3
=  if 3 == 0 then 1 else 3 * (fix fact') (3 - 1)
=  3 * (fix fact') 2
=  3 * fact' (fix fact') 2
=  3 * if 2 == 0 then 1 else 2 * (fix fact') (2 - 1)
=  3 * 2 * (fix fact') 1
=  3 * 2 * fact' (fix fact') 1
=  3 * 2 * if 1 == 0 then 1 else 1 * (fix fact') (1 - 1)
=  3 * 2 * 1 * (fix fact') 0
=  3 * 2 * 1 * fact' (fix fact') 0
=  3 * 2 * 1 * if 0 == 0 then 1 else 0 * (fix fact') (0 - 1)
=  3 * 2 * 1 * 1
=  6

This formal proof that

fact 3  =  6

methodically uses the fixed-point combinator equivalence for rewrites

fix fact'  ->  fact' (fix fact')

Lambda calculus

The untyped lambda calculus formalism consists in a context-free grammar

E ::= v        Variable
   |  ? v. E   Abstraction
   |  E E      Application

where v ranges over variables, together with the beta and eta reduction rules

(? x. B) E  ->  B[x := E]                                 Beta
  ? x. E x  ->  E          if x doesn’t occur free in E   Eta

Beta reduction substitutes all free occurrences of the variable x in the abstraction (“function”) body B by the expression (“argument”) E. Eta reduction eliminates redundant abstraction. It is sometimes omitted from the formalism. An irreducible expression, to which no reduction rule applies, is in normal or canonical form.

? x y. E

is shorthand for

? x. ? y. E

(abstraction multiarity),

E F G

is shorthand for

(E F) G

(application left-associativity),

? x. x

and

? y. y

are alpha-equivalent.

Abstraction and application are the two only “language primitives” of the lambda calculus, but they allow encoding of arbitrarily complex data and operations.

The Church numerals are an encoding of the natural numbers similar to the Peano-axiomatic naturals.

   0  =  ? f x. x                 No application
   1  =  ? f x. f x               One application
   2  =  ? f x. f (f x)           Twofold
   3  =  ? f x. f (f (f x))       Threefold
    . . .

SUCC  =  ? n f x. f (n f x)       Successor
 ADD  =  ? n m f x. n f (m f x)   Addition
MULT  =  ? n m f x. n (m f) x     Multiplication
    . . .

A formal proof that

1 + 2  =  3

using the rewrite rule of beta reduction:

   ADD                      1            2
=  (? n m f x. n f (m f x)) (? g y. g y) (? h z. h (h z))
=  (? m f x. (? g y. g y) f (m f x)) (? h z. h (h z))
=  (? m f x. (? y. f y) (m f x)) (? h z. h (h z))
=  (? m f x. f (m f x)) (? h z. h (h z))
=  ? f x. f ((? h z. h (h z)) f x)
=  ? f x. f ((? z. f (f z)) x)
=  ? f x. f (f (f x))                                       Normal form
=  3

Combinators

In lambda calculus, combinators are abstractions that contain no free variables. Most simply: I, the identity combinator

? x. x

isomorphic to the identity function

id x = x

Such combinators are the primitive operators of combinator calculi like the SKI system.

S  =  ? x y z. x z (y z)
K  =  ? x y. x
I  =  ? x. x

Beta reduction is not strongly normalizing; not all reducible expressions, “redexes”, converge to normal form under beta reduction. A simple example is divergent application of the omega ? combinator

? x. x x

to itself:

   (? x. x x) (? y. y y)
=  (? y. y y) (? y. y y)
. . .
=  _|_                     Bottom

Reduction of leftmost subexpressions (“heads”) is prioritized. Applicative order normalizes arguments before substitution, normal order does not. The two strategies are analogous to eager evaluation, e.g. C, and lazy evaluation, e.g. Haskell.

   K          (I a)        (? ?)
=  (? k l. k) ((? i. i) a) ((? x. x x) (? y. y y))

diverges under eager applicative-order beta reduction

=  (? k l. k) a ((? x. x x) (? y. y y))
=  (? l. a) ((? x. x x) (? y. y y))
=  (? l. a) ((? y. y y) (? y. y y))
. . .
=  _|_

since in strict semantics

forall f.  f _|_  =  _|_

but converges under lazy normal-order beta reduction

=  (? l. ((? i. i) a)) ((? x. x x) (? y. y y))
=  (? l. a) ((? x. x x) (? y. y y))
=  a

If an expression has a normal form, normal-order beta reduction will find it.

Y

The essential property of the Y fixed-point combinator

? f. (? x. f (x x)) (? x. f (x x))

is given by

   Y g
=  (? f. (? x. f (x x)) (? x. f (x x))) g
=  (? x. g (x x)) (? x. g (x x))           =  Y g
=  g ((? x. g (x x)) (? x. g (x x)))       =  g (Y g)
=  g (g ((? x. g (x x)) (? x. g (x x))))   =  g (g (Y g))
. . .                                      . . .

The equivalence

Y g  =  g (Y g)

is isomorphic to

fix f  =  f (fix f)

The untyped lambda calculus can encode arbitrary constructive proofs over general/µ-recursive functions.

 FACT  =  ? n. Y FACT' n
FACT'  =  ? rec n. if n == 0 then 1 else n * rec (n - 1)

   FACT 3
=  (? n. Y FACT' n) 3
=  Y FACT' 3
=  FACT' (Y FACT') 3
=  if 3 == 0 then 1 else 3 * (Y FACT') (3 - 1)
=  3 * (Y FACT') (3 - 1)
=  3 * FACT' (Y FACT') 2
=  3 * if 2 == 0 then 1 else 2 * (Y FACT') (2 - 1)
=  3 * 2 * (Y FACT') 1
=  3 * 2 * FACT' (Y FACT') 1
=  3 * 2 * if 1 == 0 then 1 else 1 * (Y FACT') (1 - 1)
=  3 * 2 * 1 * (Y FACT') 0
=  3 * 2 * 1 * FACT' (Y FACT') 0
=  3 * 2 * 1 * if 0 == 0 then 1 else 0 * (Y FACT') (0 - 1)
=  3 * 2 * 1 * 1
=  6

(Multiplication delayed, confluence)

For Churchian untyped lambda calculus, there has been shown to exist a recursively enumerable infinity of fixed-point combinators besides Y.

 X  =  ? f. (? x. x x) (? x. f (x x))
Y'  =  (? x y. x y x) (? y x. y (x y x))
 Z  =  ? f. (? x. f (? v. x x v)) (? x. f (? v. x x v))
 T  =  (? x y. y (x x y)) (? x y. y (x x y))
  . . .

Normal-order beta reduction makes the unextended untyped lambda calculus a Turing-complete rewrite system.

In Haskell, the fixed-point combinator can be elegantly implemented

fix :: forall t. (t -> t) -> t
fix f = f (fix f)

Haskell’s laziness normalizes to a finity before all subexpressions have been evaluated.

primes :: Integral t => [t]
primes = sieve [2 ..]
   where
      sieve = fix (\ rec (p : ns) ->
                     p : rec [n | n <- ns
                                , n `rem` p /= 0])

C++: Where to initialize variables in constructor

See Should my constructors use "initialization lists" or "assignment"?

Briefly: in your specific case, it does not change anything. But:

  • for class/struct members with constructors, it may be more efficient to use option 1.
  • only option 1 allows you to initialize reference members.
  • only option 1 allows you to initialize const members
  • only option 1 allows you to initialize base classes using their constructor
  • only option 2 allows you to initialize array or structs that do not have a constructor.

My guess for why option 2 is more common is that option 1 is not well-known, neither are its advantages. Option 2's syntax feels more natural to the new C++ programmer.

Entity Framework is Too Slow. What are my options?

I ran into this issue as well. I hate to dump on EF because it works so well, but it is just slow. In most cases I just want to find a record or update/insert. Even simple operations like this are slow. I pulled back 1100 records from a table into a List and that operation took 6 seconds with EF. For me this is too long, even saving takes too long.

I ended up making my own ORM. I pulled the same 1100 records from a database and my ORM took 2 seconds, much faster than EF. Everything with my ORM is almost instant.

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

The solution found here helped us to update master to a previous commit that had already been pushed:

git checkout master
git reset --hard e3f1e37
git push --force origin e3f1e37:master

The key difference from the accepted answer is the commit hash "e3f1e37:" before master in the push command.

How to place and center text in an SVG rectangle

The previous answers gave poor results when using rounded corners or stroke-width that's >1 . For example, you would expect the following code to produce a rounded rectangle, but the corners are clipped by the parent svg component:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<svg width="200" height="100">_x000D_
  <!--this rect should have rounded corners-->_x000D_
  <rect x="0" y="0" rx="5" ry="5" width="200" height="100" stroke="red" stroke-width="10px" fill="white"/>_x000D_
  <text x="50%" y="50%" alignment-baseline="middle" text-anchor="middle">CLIPPED BORDER</text>    _x000D_
</svg>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Instead, I recommend wrapping the text in a svg and then nesting that new svg and the rect together inside a g element, as in the following example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<!--the outer svg here-->_x000D_
<svg width="400px" height="300px">_x000D_
_x000D_
  <!--the rect/text group-->_x000D_
  <g transform="translate(50,50)">_x000D_
    <rect rx="5" ry="5" width="200" height="100" stroke="green" fill="none" stroke-width="10"/>_x000D_
    <svg width="200px" height="100px">_x000D_
      <text x="50%" y="50%" alignment-baseline="middle" text-anchor="middle">CORRECT BORDER</text>      _x000D_
    </svg>_x000D_
  </g>_x000D_
_x000D_
  <!--rest of the image's code-->_x000D_
</svg>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This fixes the clipping problem that occurs in the answers above. I also translated the rect/text group using the transform="translate(x,y)" attribute to demonstrate that this provides a more intuitive approach to positioning the rect/text on-screen.

Angular 2: How to call a function after get a response from subscribe http.post

You can do this be using a new Subject too:

Typescript:

let subject = new Subject();

get_categories(...) {
   this.http.post(...).subscribe( 
      (response) => {
         this.total = response.json();
         subject.next();
      }
   ); 

   return subject; // can be subscribed as well 
}

get_categories(...).subscribe(
   (response) => {
     // ...
   }
);

Clearing content of text file using C#

Simply write to file string.Empty, when append is set to false in StreamWriter. I think this one is easiest to understand for beginner.

private void ClearFile()
{
    if (!File.Exists("TextFile.txt"))
        File.Create("TextFile.txt");

    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("TextFile.txt", false);
    tw.Write(string.Empty);
    tw.Close();
}

Extract specific columns from delimited file using Awk

Others have answered your earlier question. For this:

As an addendum, is there any way to extract directly with the header names rather than with column numbers?

I haven't tried it, but you could store each header's index in a hash and then use that hash to get its index later on.

for(i=0;i<$NF;i++){
    hash[$i] = i;
}

Then later on, use it:

j = hash["header1"];
print $j;

How to break lines in PowerShell?

If escaping doesn't work, you can try this:

Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash and preg_match

The pattern must have delimiters. Delimiters can be a forward slash (/) or any non alphanumeric characters(#,$,*,...). Examples

$pattern = "/My name is '(.*)' and im fine/"; 
$pattern = "#My name is '(.*)' and im fine#";
$pattern = "@My name is '(.*)' and im fine@";  

How to test that a registered variable is not empty?

How can I reset eclipse to default settings?

Yes, Eclipse can be a pain, as almost any IDE can. Please remain factual, however.

Switching to a new workspace should help you. Eclipse has almost no settings that are stored outside your workspace.

What does SQL clause "GROUP BY 1" mean?

In addition to grouping by the field name, you may also group by ordinal, or position of the field within the table. 1 corresponds to the first field (regardless of name), 2 is the second, and so on.

This is generally ill-advised if you're grouping on something specific, since the table/view structure may change. Additionally, it may be difficult to quickly comprehend what your SQL query is doing if you haven’t memorized the table fields.

If you are returning a unique set, or quickly performing a temporary lookup, this is nice shorthand syntax to reduce typing. If you plan to run the query again at some point, I’d recommend replacing those to avoid future confusion and unexpected complications (due to scheme changes).

Override hosts variable of Ansible playbook from the command line

"401 Unauthorized" on a directory

In our case it was Windows-integrated authentication specified in the app's web.config

BUT the windows-auth module was not installed on the IIS machine at all.

Just adding another possible reason.

Integer to IP Address - C

Another approach:

union IP {
    unsigned int ip;
    struct {
      unsigned char d;
      unsigned char c;
      unsigned char b;
      unsigned char a;
    } ip2;
};

...
char  ips[20];
IP ip;
ip.ip = 0xAABBCCDD;

sprintf(ips, "%x.%x.%x.%x", ip.ip2.a, ip.ip2.b, ip.ip2.c, ip.ip2.d);
printf("%s\n", ips);

Use Mockito to mock some methods but not others

To directly answer your question, yes, you can mock some methods without mocking others. This is called a partial mock. See the Mockito documentation on partial mocks for more information.

For your example, you can do something like the following, in your test:

Stock stock = mock(Stock.class);
when(stock.getPrice()).thenReturn(100.00);    // Mock implementation
when(stock.getQuantity()).thenReturn(200);    // Mock implementation
when(stock.getValue()).thenCallRealMethod();  // Real implementation

In that case, each method implementation is mocked, unless specify thenCallRealMethod() in the when(..) clause.

There is also a possibility the other way around with spy instead of mock:

Stock stock = spy(Stock.class);
when(stock.getPrice()).thenReturn(100.00);    // Mock implementation
when(stock.getQuantity()).thenReturn(200);    // Mock implementation
// All other method call will use the real implementations

In that case, all method implementation are the real one, except if you have defined a mocked behaviour with when(..).

There is one important pitfall when you use when(Object) with spy like in the previous example. The real method will be called (because stock.getPrice() is evaluated before when(..) at runtime). This can be a problem if your method contains logic that should not be called. You can write the previous example like this:

Stock stock = spy(Stock.class);
doReturn(100.00).when(stock).getPrice();    // Mock implementation
doReturn(200).when(stock).getQuantity();    // Mock implementation
// All other method call will use the real implementations

Another possibility may be to use org.mockito.Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS, such as:

Stock MOCK_STOCK = Mockito.mock( Stock.class, CALLS_REAL_METHODS );

This delegates unstubbed calls to real implementations.


However, with your example, I believe it will still fail, since the implementation of getValue() relies on quantity and price, rather than getQuantity() and getPrice(), which is what you've mocked.

Another possibility is to avoid mocks altogether:

@Test
public void getValueTest() {
    Stock stock = new Stock(100.00, 200);
    double value = stock.getValue();
    assertEquals("Stock value not correct", 100.00*200, value, .00001);
}

Installing specific package versions with pip

TL;DR:

  • pip install -Iv (i.e. pip install -Iv MySQL_python==1.2.2)

First, I see two issues with what you're trying to do. Since you already have an installed version, you should either uninstall the current existing driver or use pip install -I MySQL_python==1.2.2

However, you'll soon find out that this doesn't work. If you look at pip's installation log, or if you do a pip install -Iv MySQL_python==1.2.2 you'll find that the PyPI URL link does not work for MySQL_python v1.2.2. You can verify this here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.2

The download link 404s and the fallback URL links are re-directing infinitely due to sourceforge.net's recent upgrade and PyPI's stale URL.

So to properly install the driver, you can follow these steps:

pip uninstall MySQL_python
pip install -Iv http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/mysql-python/1.2.2/MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz/download

How to list all properties of a PowerShell object

I like

 Get-WmiObject Win32_computersystem | format-custom *

That seems to expand everything.

There's also a show-object command in the PowerShellCookbook module that does it in a GUI. Jeffrey Snover, the PowerShell creator, uses it in his unplugged videos (recommended).

Although most often I use

Get-WmiObject Win32_computersystem | fl *

It avoids the .format.ps1xml file that defines a table or list view for the object type, if there are any. The format file may even define column headers that don't match any property names.

How to convert an array to object in PHP?

You can use the (object) function to convert your array into an object.

$arr= [128=> ['status'=>
                 'Figure A. Facebook \'s horizontal scrollbars showing up on a 1024x768 screen resolution.'],
                  129=>['status'=>'The other day at work, I had some spare time']];

            $ArrToObject=(object)$arr;
            var_dump($ArrToObject);

The result will be an object that contains arrays:

object(stdClass)#1048 (2) { [128]=> array(1) {

["status"]=> string(87) "Figure A. Facebook 's horizontal scrollbars showing up on a 1024x768 screen resolution." }

[129]=> array(1) { ["status"]=> string(44) "The other day at work, I had some spare time" } }

Checking if a list is empty with LINQ

If I check with Count() Linq executes a "SELECT COUNT(*).." in the database, but I need to check if the results contains data, I resolved to introducing FirstOrDefault() instead of Count();

Before

var cfop = from tabelaCFOPs in ERPDAOManager.GetTable<TabelaCFOPs>()

if (cfop.Count() > 0)
{
    var itemCfop = cfop.First();
    //....
}

After

var cfop = from tabelaCFOPs in ERPDAOManager.GetTable<TabelaCFOPs>()

var itemCfop = cfop.FirstOrDefault();

if (itemCfop != null)
{
    //....
}

PreparedStatement with Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS

You can either use the prepareStatement method taking an additional int parameter

PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS)

For some JDBC drivers (for example, Oracle) you have to explicitly list the column names or indices of the generated keys:

PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql, new String[]{"USER_ID"})

MySQL: Insert datetime into other datetime field

According to MySQL documentation, you should be able to just enclose that datetime string in single quotes, ('YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS') and it should work. Look here: Date and Time Literals

So, in your case, the command should be as follows:

UPDATE products SET former_date='2011-12-18 13:17:17' WHERE id=1

socket.error: [Errno 48] Address already in use

This commonly happened use case for any developer.

It is better to have it as function in your local system. (So better to keep this script in one of the shell profile like ksh/zsh or bash profile based on the user preference)

function killport {
   kill -9 `lsof -i tcp:"$1" | grep LISTEN | awk '{print $2}'`
}

Usage:

killport port_number

Example:

killport 8080

Getting NetworkCredential for current user (C#)

If the web service being invoked uses windows integrated security, creating a NetworkCredential from the current WindowsIdentity should be sufficient to allow the web service to use the current users windows login. However, if the web service uses a different security model, there isn't any way to extract a users password from the current identity ... that in and of itself would be insecure, allowing you, the developer, to steal your users passwords. You will likely need to provide some way for your user to provide their password, and keep it in some secure cache if you don't want them to have to repeatedly provide it.

Edit: To get the credentials for the current identity, use the following:

Uri uri = new Uri("http://tempuri.org/");
ICredentials credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
NetworkCredential credential = credentials.GetCredential(uri, "Basic");

TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment when swapping values

How to check if user input is not an int value

This is to keep requesting inputs while this input is integer and find whether it is odd or even else it will end.

int counter = 1;
    System.out.println("Enter a number:");
    Scanner OddInput = new Scanner(System.in);
        while(OddInput.hasNextInt()){
            int Num = OddInput.nextInt();
            if (Num %2==0){
                System.out.println("Number " + Num + " is Even");
                System.out.println("Enter a number:");
            }
            else {
                System.out.println("Number " + Num + " is Odd");
                System.out.println("Enter a number:");
                }
            }
        System.out.println("Program Ended");
    }

CSS Equivalent of the "if" statement

CSS has become a very powerful tool over the years and it has hacks for a lot of things javaScript can do

There is a hack in CSS for using conditional statements/logic.

It involves using the symbol '~'

Let me further illustrate with an example.

Let's say you want a background to slide into the page when a button is clicked. All you need to do is use a radio checkbox. Style the label for the radio underneath the button so that when the button is pressed the checkbox is also pressed.

Then you use the code below

.checkbox:checked ~ .background{
opacity:1
width: 100%
}

This code simply states IF the checkbox is CHECKED then open up the background ELSE leave it as it is.

Most concise way to test string equality (not object equality) for Ruby strings or symbols?

Your code sample didn't expand on part of your topic, namely symbols, and so that part of the question went unanswered.

If you have two strings, foo and bar, and both can be either a string or a symbol, you can test equality with

foo.to_s == bar.to_s

It's a little more efficient to skip the string conversions on operands with known type. So if foo is always a string

foo == bar.to_s

But the efficiency gain is almost certainly not worth demanding any extra work on behalf of the caller.

Prior to Ruby 2.2, avoid interning uncontrolled input strings for the purpose of comparison (with strings or symbols), because symbols are not garbage collected, and so you can open yourself to denial of service through resource exhaustion. Limit your use of symbols to values you control, i.e. literals in your code, and trusted configuration properties.

Ruby 2.2 introduced garbage collection of symbols.

Compile a DLL in C/C++, then call it from another program

The thing to watch out for when writing C++ dlls is name mangling. If you want interoperability between C and C++, you'd be better off by exporting non-mangled C-style functions from within the dll.

You have two options to use a dll

  • Either use a lib file to link the symbols -- compile time dynamic linking
  • Use LoadLibrary() or some suitable function to load the library, retrieve a function pointer (GetProcAddress) and call it -- runtime dynamic linking

Exporting classes will not work if you follow the second method though.

Deleting Objects in JavaScript

Setting a variable to null makes sure to break any references to objects in all browsers including circular references being made between the DOM elements and Javascript scopes. By using delete command we are marking objects to be cleared on the next run of the Garbage collection, but if there are multiple variables referencing the same object, deleting a single variable WILL NOT free the object, it will just remove the linkage between that variable and the object. And on the next run of the Garbage collection, only the variable will be cleaned.

Storyboard - refer to ViewController in AppDelegate

Generally, the system should be handling view controller instantiation with a storyboard. What you want is to traverse the viewController hierarchy by grabbing a reference to the self.window.rootViewController as opposed to initializing view controllers, which should already be initialized correctly if you've setup your storyboard properly.

So, let's say your rootViewController is a UINavigationController and then you want to send something to its top view controller, you would do it like this in your AppDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

UINavigationController *nav = (UINavigationController *) self.window.rootViewController;
MyViewController *myVC = (MyViewController *)nav.topViewController;
myVC.data = self.data;

In Swift if would be very similar:

let nav = self.window.rootViewController as! UINavigationController;
let myVC = nav.topViewController as! MyViewController
myVc.data = self.data

You really shouldn't be initializing view controllers using storyboard id's from the app delegate unless you want to bypass the normal way storyboard is loaded and load the whole storyboard yourself. If you're having to initialize scenes from the AppDelegate you're most likely doing something wrong. I mean imagine you, for some reason, want to send data to a view controller way down the stack, the AppDelegate shouldn't be reaching way into the view controller stack to set data. That's not its business. It's business is the rootViewController. Let the rootViewController handle its own children! So, if I were bypassing the normal storyboard loading process by the system by removing references to it in the info.plist file, I would at most instantiate the rootViewController using instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:, and possibly its root if it is a container, like a UINavigationController. What you want to avoid is instantiating view controllers that have already been instantiated by the storyboard. This is a problem I see a lot. In short, I disagree with the accepted answer. It is incorrect unless the posters means to remove loading of the storyboard from the info.plist since you will have loaded 2 storyboards otherwise, which makes no sense. It's probably not a memory leak because the system initialized the root scene and assigned it to the window, but then you came along and instantiated it again and assigned it again. Your app is off to a pretty bad start!

Detect if device is iOS

In my case the user agent was not good enought since in the Ipad the user agent was the same as in Mac OS, therefore I had to do a nasty trick:

var mql = window.matchMedia("(orientation: landscape)");

/**
 * If we are in landscape but the height is bigger than width
 */
if(mql.matches && window.screen.height > window.screen.width) {
    // IOS
} else {
    // Mac OS
}

How can I get the assembly file version

When I want to access the application file version (what is set in Assembly Information -> File version), say to set a label's text to it on form load to display the version, I have just used

versionlabel.Text = "Version " + Application.ProductVersion;

This approach requires a reference to System.Windows.Forms.

How does the getView() method work when creating your own custom adapter?

  1. Layout inflator inflates/adds external XML to your current view.

  2. getView() is called numerous times including when scrolled. So if it already has view inflated we don't wanna do it again since inflating is a costly process.. thats why we check if its null and then inflate it.

  3. The parent view is single cell of your List..

javascript get child by id

This works well:

function test(el){
  el.childNodes.item("child").style.display = "none";
}

If the argument of item() function is an integer, the function will treat it as an index. If the argument is a string, then the function searches for name or ID of element.

'No JUnit tests found' in Eclipse

At least it solved my problem.

How to escape indicator characters (i.e. : or - ) in YAML

What also works and is even nicer for long, multiline texts, is putting your text indented on the next line, after a pipe or greater-than sign:

text: >
    Op dit plein stond het hoofdkantoor van de NIROM: Nederlands Indische 
    Radio Omroep

A pipe preserves newlines, a gt-sign turns all the following lines into one long string.

How to replicate vector in c?

They would start by hiding the defining a structure that would hold members necessary for the implementation. Then providing a group of functions that would manipulate the contents of the structure.

Something like this:

typedef struct vec
{
    unsigned char* _mem;
    unsigned long _elems;
    unsigned long _elemsize;
    unsigned long _capelems;
    unsigned long _reserve;
};

vec* vec_new(unsigned long elemsize)
{
    vec* pvec = (vec*)malloc(sizeof(vec));
    pvec->_reserve = 10;
    pvec->_capelems = pvec->_reserve;
    pvec->_elemsize = elemsize;
    pvec->_elems = 0;
    pvec->_mem = (unsigned char*)malloc(pvec->_capelems * pvec->_elemsize);
    return pvec;
}

void vec_delete(vec* pvec)
{
    free(pvec->_mem);
    free(pvec);
}

void vec_grow(vec* pvec)
{
    unsigned char* mem = (unsigned char*)malloc((pvec->_capelems + pvec->_reserve) * pvec->_elemsize);
    memcpy(mem, pvec->_mem, pvec->_elems * pvec->_elemsize);
    free(pvec->_mem);
    pvec->_mem = mem;
    pvec->_capelems += pvec->_reserve;
}

void vec_push_back(vec* pvec, void* data, unsigned long elemsize)
{
    assert(elemsize == pvec->_elemsize);
    if (pvec->_elems == pvec->_capelems) {
        vec_grow(pvec);
    }
    memcpy(pvec->_mem + (pvec->_elems * pvec->_elemsize), (unsigned char*)data, pvec->_elemsize);
    pvec->_elems++;    
}

unsigned long vec_length(vec* pvec)
{
    return pvec->_elems;
}

void* vec_get(vec* pvec, unsigned long index)
{
    assert(index < pvec->_elems);
    return (void*)(pvec->_mem + (index * pvec->_elemsize));
}

void vec_copy_item(vec* pvec, void* dest, unsigned long index)
{
    memcpy(dest, vec_get(pvec, index), pvec->_elemsize);
}

void playwithvec()
{
    vec* pvec = vec_new(sizeof(int));

    for (int val = 0; val < 1000; val += 10) {
        vec_push_back(pvec, &val, sizeof(val));
    }

    for (unsigned long index = (int)vec_length(pvec) - 1; (int)index >= 0; index--) {
        int val;
        vec_copy_item(pvec, &val, index);
        printf("vec(%d) = %d\n", index, val);
    }

    vec_delete(pvec);
}

Further to this they would achieve encapsulation by using void* in the place of vec* for the function group, and actually hide the structure definition from the user by defining it within the C module containing the group of functions rather than the header. Also they would hide the functions that you would consider to be private, by leaving them out from the header and simply prototyping them only in the C module.

C++ Error 'nullptr was not declared in this scope' in Eclipse IDE

I add the ",-std=c++0x" after "-c -fmessage-length=0",under Project Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C++ Compiler -> Miscellaneous. Dont't forget to add the comma "," as the seperator.

Simple InputBox function

The simplest way to get an input box is with the Read-Host cmdlet and -AsSecureString parameter.

$us = Read-Host 'Enter Your User Name:' -AsSecureString
$pw = Read-Host 'Enter Your Password:' -AsSecureString

This is especially useful if you are gathering login info like my example above. If you prefer to keep the variables obfuscated as SecureString objects you can convert the variables on the fly like this:

[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($us))
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($pw))

If the info does not need to be secure at all you can convert it to plain text:

$user = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($us))

Read-Host and -AsSecureString appear to have been included in all PowerShell versions (1-6) but I do not have PowerShell 1 or 2 to ensure the commands work identically. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/read-host?view=powershell-3.0

vs

<div style="width: 500px; background: red"> [loooong text with &nbsp;]</div>

How to test if string exists in file with Bash?

I was looking for a way to do this in the terminal and filter lines in the normal "grep behaviour". Have your strings in a file strings.txt:

string1
string2
...

Then you can build a regular expression like (string1|string2|...) and use it for filtering:

cmd1 | grep -P "($(cat strings.txt | tr '\n' '|' | head -c -1))" | cmd2

Edit: Above only works if you don't use any regex characters, if escaping is required, it could be done like:

cat strings.txt | python3 -c "import re, sys; [sys.stdout.write(re.escape(line[:-1]) + '\n') for line in sys.stdin]" | ...

How can I detect if a selector returns null?

My preference, and I have no idea why this isn't already in jQuery:

$.fn.orElse = function(elseFunction) {
  if (!this.length) {
    elseFunction();
  }
};

Used like this:

$('#notAnElement').each(function () {
  alert("Wrong, it is an element")
}).orElse(function() {
  alert("Yup, it's not an element")
});

Or, as it looks in CoffeeScript:

$('#notAnElement').each ->
  alert "Wrong, it is an element"; return
.orElse ->
  alert "Yup, it's not an element"

Fixed point vs Floating point number

The term ‘fixed point’ refers to the corresponding manner in which numbers are represented, with a fixed number of digits after, and sometimes before, the decimal point. With floating-point representation, the placement of the decimal point can ‘float’ relative to the significant digits of the number. For example, a fixed-point representation with a uniform decimal point placement convention can represent the numbers 123.45, 1234.56, 12345.67, etc, whereas a floating-point representation could in addition represent 1.234567, 123456.7, 0.00001234567, 1234567000000000, etc.

How to upper case every first letter of word in a string?

Here is an easy solution:

public class CapitalFirstLetters {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
    String word = "it's java, baby!";
    String[] wordSplit;
    String wordCapital = "";
    wordSplit = word.split(" ");
    for (int i = 0; i < wordSplit.length; i++) {
        wordCapital = wordSplit[i].substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + wordSplit[i].substring(1) + " ";
    }
    System.out.println(wordCapital);
 }}

how to use jQuery ajax calls with node.js

If your simple test page is located on other protocol/domain/port than your hello world node.js example you are doing cross-domain requests and violating same origin policy therefore your jQuery ajax calls (get and load) are failing silently. To get this working cross-domain you should use JSONP based format. For example node.js code:

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    console.log('request received');
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('_testcb(\'{"message": "Hello world!"}\')');
}).listen(8124);

and client side JavaScript/jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://192.168.1.103:8124/',
        dataType: "jsonp",
        jsonpCallback: "_testcb",
        cache: false,
        timeout: 5000,
        success: function(data) {
            $("#test").append(data);
        },
        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            alert('error ' + textStatus + " " + errorThrown);
        }
    });
});

There are also other ways how to get this working, for example by setting up reverse proxy or build your web application entirely with framework like express.

Oracle PL/SQL - Are NO_DATA_FOUND Exceptions bad for stored procedure performance?

@DCookie

I just want to point out that you can leave off the lines that say

EXCEPTION  
  WHEN OTHERS THEN    
    RAISE;

You'll get the same effect if you leave off the exception block all together, and the line number reported for the exception will be the line where the exception is actually thrown, not the line in the exception block where it was re-raised.
