How to impose maxlength on textArea in HTML using JavaScript

Also add the following event to deal with pasting into the textarea:

...

txts[i].onkeyup = function() {
  ...
}

txts[i].paste = function() {
  var len = parseInt(this.getAttribute("maxlength"), 10);

  if (this.value.length + window.clipboardData.getData("Text").length > len) {
    alert('Maximum length exceeded: ' + len);
    this.value = this.value.substr(0, len);
    return false;
  }
}

...

Selecting data from two different servers in SQL Server

sp_addlinkedserver('servername')

so its should go like this -

select * from table1
unionall
select * from [server1].[database].[dbo].[table1]

How to access cookies in AngularJS?

AngularJS provides ngCookies module and $cookieStore service to use Browser Cookies.

We need to add angular-cookies.min.js file to use cookie feature.

Here is some method of AngularJS Cookie.

get(key); // This method returns the value of given cookie key.
getObject(key); //This method returns the deserialized value of given cookie key.
getAll(); //This method returns a key value object with all the cookies.
put(key, value, [options]); //This method sets a value for given cookie key.
remove(key, [options]); //This method remove given cookie.

Example

Html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.0-beta.1/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.0-beta.1/angular-cookies.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MyController">
{{cookiesUserName}} loves {{cookietechnology}}.
</body>
</html>

JavaScript

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngCookies']);
myApp.controller('MyController', ['$scope', '$cookies', '$cookieStore', '$window', function($scope, $cookies, $cookieStore, $window) {
$cookies.userName = 'Max Joe';
$scope.cookiesUserName = $cookies.userName;
$cookieStore.put('technology', 'Web');
$scope.cookietechnology = $cookieStore.get('technology'); }]);

I have Taken reference from http://www.tutsway.com/simple-example-of-cookie-in-angular-js.php.

CSS Outside Border

I shared two solutions depending on your needs:

<style type="text/css" ref="stylesheet">
  .border-inside-box {
    border: 1px solid black;
  }
  .border-inside-box-v1 {
    outline: 1px solid black; /* 'border-radius' not available */
  }
  .border-outside-box-v2 {
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px black; /* 'border-style' not available (dashed, solid, etc) */
  }
</style>

How to count how many values per level in a given factor?

Or using the dplyr library:

library(dplyr)
set.seed(1)
dat <- data.frame(ID = sample(letters,100,rep=TRUE))
dat %>% 
  group_by(ID) %>%
  summarise(no_rows = length(ID))

Note the use of %>%, which is similar to the use of pipes in bash. Effectively, the code above pipes dat into group_by, and the result of that operation is piped into summarise.

The result is:

Source: local data frame [26 x 2]

   ID no_rows
1   a       2
2   b       3
3   c       3
4   d       3
5   e       2
6   f       4
7   g       6
8   h       1
9   i       6
10  j       5
11  k       6
12  l       4
13  m       7
14  n       2
15  o       2
16  p       2
17  q       5
18  r       4

23  w       5
24  x       4
25  y       3
26  z       1

Can I inject a service into a directive in AngularJS?

Change your directive definition from app.module to app.directive. Apart from that everything looks fine. Btw, very rarely do you have to inject a service into a directive. If you are injecting a service ( which usually is a data source or model ) into your directive ( which is kind of part of a view ), you are creating a direct coupling between your view and model. You need to separate them out by wiring them together using a controller.

It does work fine. I am not sure what you are doing which is wrong. Here is a plunk of it working.

Setting unique Constraint with fluent API?

Here is an extension method for setting unique indexes more fluently:

public static class MappingExtensions
{
    public static PrimitivePropertyConfiguration IsUnique(this PrimitivePropertyConfiguration configuration)
    {
        return configuration.HasColumnAnnotation("Index", new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute { IsUnique = true }));
    }
}

Usage:

modelBuilder 
    .Entity<Person>() 
    .Property(t => t.Name)
    .IsUnique();

Will generate migration such as:

public partial class Add_unique_index : DbMigration
{
    public override void Up()
    {
        CreateIndex("dbo.Person", "Name", unique: true);
    }

    public override void Down()
    {
        DropIndex("dbo.Person", new[] { "Name" });
    }
}

npm install error - MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe"

For those the above answer does not work, here is another possible solution to look at.

Issue: On installing npm os-service package i was getting below error error MSB4019: The imported project "d:\M icrosoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct

Even the installation of build tools or VS 2015 did not work for me. So I tried installing below directly via PowerShell (as admin)

https://chocolatey.org/packages/visualcpp-build-tools/14.0.25420.1 Command: choco install visualcpp-build-tools --version 14.0.25420.1

Once this was installed, set an environment variable VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\v140

Then installation of the package worked perfectly fine after these.

Jquery- Get the value of first td in table

$(".hit").click(function(){
   var values = [];
   var table = $(this).closest("table");
   table.find("tr").each(function() {
      values.push($(this).find("td:first").html());
   });

   alert(values);    
});

You should avoid $(".hit") it's really inefficient. Try using event delegation instead.

How do I grant myself admin access to a local SQL Server instance?

Microsoft has an article about this issue. It goes through it all step by step.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/connect-to-sql-server-when-system-administrators-are-locked-out

In short it involves starting up the instance of sqlserver with -m like all the other answers suggest. However Microsoft provides slightly more detailed instructions.

From the Start page, start SQL Server Management Studio. On the View menu, select Registered Servers. (If your server is not already registered, right-click Local Server Groups, point to Tasks, and then click Register Local Servers.)

In the Registered Servers area, right-click your server, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager. This should ask for permission to run as administrator, and then open the Configuration Manager program.

Close Management Studio.

In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the left pane, select SQL Server Services. In the right-pane, find your instance of SQL Server. (The default instance of SQL Server includes (MSSQLSERVER) after the computer name. Named instances appear in upper case with the same name that they have in Registered Servers.) Right-click the instance of SQL Server, and then click Properties.

On the Startup Parameters tab, in the Specify a startup parameter box, type -m and then click Add. (That's a dash then lower case letter m.)

Note

For some earlier versions of SQL Server there is no Startup Parameters tab. In that case, on the Advanced tab, double-click Startup Parameters. The parameters open up in a very small window. Be careful not to change any of the existing parameters. At the very end, add a new parameter ;-m and then click OK. (That's a semi-colon then a dash then lower case letter m.)

Click OK, and after the message to restart, right-click your server name, and then click Restart.

After SQL Server has restarted your server will be in single-user mode. Make sure that that SQL Server Agent is not running. If started, it will take your only connection.

On the Windows 8 start screen, right-click the icon for Management Studio. At the bottom of the screen, select Run as administrator. (This will pass your administrator credentials to SSMS.)

Note

For earlier versions of Windows, the Run as administrator option appears as a sub-menu.

In some configurations, SSMS will attempt to make several connections. Multiple connections will fail because SQL Server is in single-user mode. You can select one of the following actions to perform. Do one of the following.

a) Connect with Object Explorer using Windows Authentication (which includes your Administrator credentials). Expand Security, expand Logins, and double-click your own login. On the Server Roles page, select sysadmin, and then click OK.

b) Instead of connecting with Object Explorer, connect with a Query Window using Windows Authentication (which includes your Administrator credentials). (You can only connect this way if you did not connect with Object Explorer.) Execute code such as the following to add a new Windows Authentication login that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role. The following example adds a domain user named CONTOSO\PatK.
CREATE LOGIN [CONTOSO\PatK] FROM WINDOWS;   ALTER SERVER ROLE
sysadmin ADD MEMBER [CONTOSO\PatK];   
c) If your SQL Server is running in mixed authentication mode, connect with a Query Window using Windows Authentication (which includes your Administrator credentials). Execute code such as the following to create a new SQL Server Authentication login that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.
CREATE LOGIN TempLogin WITH PASSWORD = '************';   ALTER
SERVER ROLE sysadmin ADD MEMBER TempLogin;   
Warning:

Replace ************ with a strong password.

d) If your SQL Server is running in mixed authentication mode and you want to reset the password of the sa account, connect with a Query Window using Windows Authentication (which includes your Administrator credentials). Change the password of the sa account with the following syntax.
ALTER LOGIN sa WITH PASSWORD = '************';   Warning
Replace ************ with a strong password.

The following steps now change SQL Server back to multi-user mode. Close SSMS.

In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the left pane, select SQL Server Services. In the right-pane, right-click the instance of SQL Server, and then click Properties.

On the Startup Parameters tab, in the Existing parameters box, select -m and then click Remove.

Note

For some earlier versions of SQL Server there is no Startup Parameters tab. In that case, on the Advanced tab, double-click Startup Parameters. The parameters open up in a very small window. Remove the ;-m which you added earlier, and then click OK.

Right-click your server name, and then click Restart.

Now you should be able to connect normally with one of the accounts which is now a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Android add placeholder text to EditText

If you want to insert text inside your EditText view that stays there after the field is selected (unlike how hint behaves), do this:

In Java:

// Cast Your EditText as a TextView
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.email)).setText("your Text")

In Kotlin:

// Cast your EditText into a TextView
// Like this
(findViewById(R.id.email) as TextView).text = "Your Text"
// Or simply like this
findViewById<TextView>(R.id.email).text = "Your Text"

How to load a model from an HDF5 file in Keras?

load_weights only sets the weights of your network. You still need to define its architecture before calling load_weights:

def create_model():
   model = Sequential()
   model.add(Dense(64, input_dim=14, init='uniform'))
   model.add(LeakyReLU(alpha=0.3))
   model.add(BatchNormalization(epsilon=1e-06, mode=0, momentum=0.9, weights=None))
   model.add(Dropout(0.5)) 
   model.add(Dense(64, init='uniform'))
   model.add(LeakyReLU(alpha=0.3))
   model.add(BatchNormalization(epsilon=1e-06, mode=0, momentum=0.9, weights=None))
   model.add(Dropout(0.5))
   model.add(Dense(2, init='uniform'))
   model.add(Activation('softmax'))
   return model

def train():
   model = create_model()
   sgd = SGD(lr=0.1, decay=1e-6, momentum=0.9, nesterov=True)
   model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer=sgd)

   checkpointer = ModelCheckpoint(filepath="/tmp/weights.hdf5", verbose=1, save_best_only=True)
   model.fit(X_train, y_train, nb_epoch=20, batch_size=16, show_accuracy=True, validation_split=0.2, verbose=2, callbacks=[checkpointer])

def load_trained_model(weights_path):
   model = create_model()
   model.load_weights(weights_path)

Why do 64-bit DLLs go to System32 and 32-bit DLLs to SysWoW64 on 64-bit Windows?

Ran into the same issue and researched this for a few minutes.

I was taught to use Windows 3.1 and DOS, remember those days? Shortly after I worked with Macintosh computers strictly for some time, then began to sway back to Windows after buying a x64-bit machine.

There are actual reasons behind these changes (some would say historical significance), that are necessary for programmers to continue their work.

Most of the changes are mentioned above:

Program Files vs Program Files (x86)

In the beginning the 16/86bit files were written on, '86' Intel processors.
System32 really means System64 (on 64-bit Windows)

When developers first started working with Windows7, there were several compatibility issues where other applications where stored.
SysWOW64 really means SysWOW32

Essentially, in plain english, it means 'Windows on Windows within a 64-bit machine'. Each folder is indicating where the DLLs are located for applications it they wish to use them.

Here are two links with all the basic info you need:

Hope this clears things up!

What is the difference between GitHub and gist?

My personal understanding or to say my personal usage of Gist and Github is:

Github

A big project work. If you wanna build website, develop mobile or web application or do your assignment with your teammates of course use github.

Gist

more like a memo. for example you can write the implementation of a small feature and share it to your blog or write down what you think about the project and share it with your teammates. Just like what the above answers said, gist is used for more like code snippet thing. So normally if you work on a project you use github.

What is the "realm" in basic authentication

From RFC 1945 (HTTP/1.0) and RFC 2617 (HTTP Authentication referenced by HTTP/1.1)

The realm attribute (case-insensitive) is required for all authentication schemes which issue a challenge. The realm value (case-sensitive), in combination with the canonical root URL of the server being accessed, defines the protection space. These realms allow the protected resources on a server to be partitioned into a set of protection spaces, each with its own authentication scheme and/or authorization database. The realm value is a string, generally assigned by the origin server, which may have additional semantics specific to the authentication scheme.

In short, pages in the same realm should share credentials. If your credentials work for a page with the realm "My Realm", it should be assumed that the same username and password combination should work for another page with the same realm.

PHP JSON String, escape Double Quotes for JS output

Optimal number of threads per core

I know this question is rather old, but things have evolved since 2009.

There are two things to take into account now: the number of cores, and the number of threads that can run within each core.

With Intel processors, the number of threads is defined by the Hyperthreading which is just 2 (when available). But Hyperthreading cuts your execution time by two, even when not using 2 threads! (i.e. 1 pipeline shared between two processes -- this is good when you have more processes, not so good otherwise. More cores are definitively better!)

On other processors you may have 2, 4, or even 8 threads. So if you have 8 cores each of which support 8 threads, you could have 64 processes running in parallel without context switching.

"No context switching" is obviously not true if you run with a standard operating system which will do context switching for all sorts of other things out of your control. But that's the main idea. Some OSes let you allocate processors so only your application has access/usage of said processor!

From my own experience, if you have a lot of I/O, multiple threads is good. If you have very heavy memory intensive work (read source 1, read source 2, fast computation, write) then having more threads doesn't help. Again, this depends on how much data you read/write simultaneously (i.e. if you use SSE 4.2 and read 256 bits values, that stops all threads in their step... in other words, 1 thread is probably a lot easier to implement and probably nearly as speedy if not actually faster. This will depend on your process & memory architecture, some advanced servers manage separate memory ranges for separate cores so separate threads will be faster assuming your data is properly filed... which is why, on some architectures, 4 processes will run faster than 1 process with 4 threads.)

How to call a method after a delay in Android

Kotlin & Java Many Ways

1. Using `Handler`

Handler().postDelayed({
    TODO("Do something")
    }, 2000)

2. Using TimerTask

Timer().schedule(object : TimerTask() {
    override fun run() {
        TODO("Do something")
    }
}, 2000)

Or even shorter

Timer().schedule(timerTask {
    TODO("Do something")
}, 2000)

Or shortest would be

Timer().schedule(2000) {
    TODO("Do something")
}

3. Using `Executors`

Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor().schedule({
    TODO("Do something")
}, 2, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

In Java

1. Using `Handler`

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //Do something
    }
}, 2000);

2. Using `Timer`

new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {          
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Do something
    }
}, 2000);

3. Using `ScheduledExecutorService`

private static final ScheduledExecutorService worker = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();

Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
      // Do something
  }
  };
worker.schedule(runnable, 2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Still getting warning : Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'

go to you build.gradle (app level)

build.gradle module app

and replace the word "compile" by "implementation"

it will work 100%

Shortest distance between a point and a line segment

Wanted to do this in GLSL, but it's better to avoid all those conditionals if possible. Using clamp() avoids the two end-point cases:

// find closest point to P on line segment AB:
vec3 closest_point_on_line_segment(in vec3 P, in vec3 A, in vec3 B) {
    vec3 AP = P - A, AB = B - A;
    float l = dot(AB, AB);
    if (l <= 0.0000001) return A;    // A and B are practically the same
    return AP - AB*clamp(dot(AP, AB)/l, 0.0, 1.0);  // do the projection
}

If you can be sure that A and B are never very close to each other, this can be simplified to remove the if(). In fact, even if A and B are the same, my GPU still gives the right result with this condition-free version (but this is using pre-OpenGL 4.1 in which GLSL divide by zero is undefined):

// find closest point to P on line segment AB:
vec3 closest_point_on_line_segment(in vec3 P, in vec3 A, in vec3 B) {
    vec3 AP = P - A, AB = B - A;
    return AP - AB*clamp(dot(AP, AB)/dot(AB, AB), 0.0, 1.0);
}

To compute the distance is trivial -- GLSL provides a distance() function which you can use on this closest point and P.

Inspired by Iñigo Quilez's code for a capsule distance function

How do I get a YouTube video thumbnail from the YouTube API?

YouTube is serving thumbnails from 2 servers. You just need to replace <YouTube_Video_ID_HERE> with your own YouTube video id. These days webP is best format for fast loading of images due to small image size.

https://img.youtube.com https://i.ytimg.com

Examples are with https://i.ytimg.com server just because it’s shorter, no other particular reason. You can use both.

How to set specific Java version to Maven

You can set Maven to use any java version following the instructions below.

Install jenv in your machine link

Check the available java versions installed in your machine by issuing the following command in command line.

jenv versions

You can specify global Java version using the following command.

jenv global oracle64-1.6.0.39

You can specify local Java version for any directory(Project) using the following command in the directory in command line.

jenv local oracle64-1.7.0.11

add the correct java version in your pom.xml

if you are running maven in command line install jenv maven plugin using below command

jenv enable-plugin maven

Now you can configure any java version in your machine to any project with out any trouble.

How to build & install GLFW 3 and use it in a Linux project

Since the accepted answer does not allow more edits, I'm going to summarize it with a single copy-paste command (Replace 3.2.1 with the latest version available in the first line):

version="3.2.1" && \
wget "https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/${version}/glfw-${version}.zip" && \
unzip glfw-${version}.zip && \
cd glfw-${version} && \
sudo apt-get install cmake xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev && \
sudo cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" && \
sudo make && \
sudo make install

If you want to compile a program use the following commands:

g++ -std=c++11 -c main.cpp && \
g++ main.o -o main.exec -lGL -lGLU -lglfw3 -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldl -lXinerama -lXcursor

If you are following the learnopengl.com tutorial you may have to set up GLAD as well. In such case click on this link

http://glad.dav1d.de/#profile=core&specification=gl&api=gl%3D3.3&api=gles1%3Dnone&api=gles2%3Dnone&api=glsc2%3Dnone&language=c&loader=on

and then click on the "Generate" button at the bottom right corner of the website and download the zip file. Extract it and compile the sources with the following command:

g++ glad/src/glad.c -c -Iglad/include

Now, the commands to compile your program become like this:

g++ -std=c++11 -c main.cpp -Iglad/include && \
g++ main.o glad.o -o main.exec -lGL -lGLU -lglfw3 -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldl -lXinerama -lXcursor

Why does Firebug say toFixed() is not a function?

toFixed isn't a method of non-numeric variable types. In other words, Low and High can't be fixed because when you get the value of something in Javascript, it automatically is set to a string type. Using parseFloat() (or parseInt() with a radix, if it's an integer) will allow you to convert different variable types to numbers which will enable the toFixed() function to work.

var Low  = parseFloat($SliderValFrom.val()),
    High = parseFloat($SliderValTo.val());

Winforms TableLayoutPanel adding rows programmatically

I just did this last week. Set the GrowStyle on the TableLayoutPanel to AddRows or AddColumns, then your code should work:

// Adds "myControl" to the first column of each row
myTableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(myControl1, 0 /* Column Index */, 0 /* Row index */);
myTableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(myControl2, 0 /* Column Index */, 1 /* Row index */);
myTableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(myControl3, 0 /* Column Index */, 2 /* Row index */);

Here is some working code that seems similar to what you are doing:

    private Int32 tlpRowCount = 0;

    private void BindAddress()
    {
        Addlabel(Addresses.Street);
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Addresses.Street2))
        {
            Addlabel(Addresses.Street2);
        }
        Addlabel(Addresses.CityStateZip);
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Account.Country))
        {
            Addlabel(Address.Country);
        }
        Addlabel(String.Empty); // Notice the empty label...
    }

    private void Addlabel(String text)
    {            
        label = new Label();
        label.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
        label.Text = text;
        label.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
        tlpAddress.Controls.Add(label, 1, tlpRowCount);
        tlpRowCount++;
    }

The TableLayoutPanel always gives me fits with size. In my example above, I'm filing an address card that might grow or shrink depending on the account having an address line two, or a country. Because the last row, or column, of the table layout panel will stretch, I throw the empty label in there to force a new empty row, then everything lines up nicely.

Here is the designer code so you can see the table I start with:

        //
        // tlpAddress
        // 
        this.tlpAddress.AutoSize = true;
        this.tlpAddress.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
        this.tlpAddress.ColumnCount = 2;
        this.tlpAddress.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Absolute, 25F));
        this.tlpAddress.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 100F));
        this.tlpAddress.Controls.Add(this.pictureBox1, 0, 0);
        this.tlpAddress.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
        this.tlpAddress.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
        this.tlpAddress.Name = "tlpAddress";
        this.tlpAddress.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(3);
        this.tlpAddress.RowCount = 2;
        this.tlpAddress.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle());
        this.tlpAddress.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle());
        this.tlpAddress.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(220, 95);
        this.tlpAddress.TabIndex = 0;

numpy division with RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in double_scalars

You can't solve it. Simply answer1.sum()==0, and you can't perform a division by zero.

This happens because answer1 is the exponential of 2 very large, negative numbers, so that the result is rounded to zero.

nan is returned in this case because of the division by zero.

Now to solve your problem you could:

go for a library for high-precision mathematics, like mpmath. But that's less fun.
as an alternative to a bigger weapon, do some math manipulation, as detailed below.
go for a tailored scipy/numpy function that does exactly what you want! Check out @Warren Weckesser answer.

Here I explain how to do some math manipulation that helps on this problem. We have that for the numerator:

exp(-x)+exp(-y) = exp(log(exp(-x)+exp(-y)))
                = exp(log(exp(-x)*[1+exp(-y+x)]))
                = exp(log(exp(-x) + log(1+exp(-y+x)))
                = exp(-x + log(1+exp(-y+x)))

where above x=3* 1089 and y=3* 1093. Now, the argument of this exponential is

-x + log(1+exp(-y+x)) = -x + 6.1441934777474324e-06

For the denominator you could proceed similarly but obtain that log(1+exp(-z+k)) is already rounded to 0, so that the argument of the exponential function at the denominator is simply rounded to -z=-3000. You then have that your result is

exp(-x + log(1+exp(-y+x)))/exp(-z) = exp(-x+z+log(1+exp(-y+x)) 
                                   = exp(-266.99999385580668)

which is already extremely close to the result that you would get if you were to keep only the 2 leading terms (i.e. the first number 1089 in the numerator and the first number 1000 at the denominator):

exp(3*(1089-1000))=exp(-267)

For the sake of it, let's see how close we are from the solution of Wolfram alpha (link):

Log[(exp[-3*1089]+exp[-3*1093])/([exp[-3*1000]+exp[-3*4443])] -> -266.999993855806522267194565420933791813296828742310997510523

The difference between this number and the exponent above is +1.7053025658242404e-13, so the approximation we made at the denominator was fine.

The final result is

'exp(-266.99999385580668) = 1.1050349147204485e-116

From wolfram alpha is (link)

1.105034914720621496.. × 10^-116 # Wolfram alpha.

and again, it is safe to use numpy here too.

how to get 2 digits after decimal point in tsql?

Transition of background-color

To me, it is better to put the transition codes with the original/minimum selectors than with the :hover or any other additional selectors:

_x000D_

#content #nav a {_x000D_

    _x000D_
    -webkit-transition: background-color 1000ms linear;_x000D_
    -moz-transition: background-color 1000ms linear;_x000D_
    -o-transition: background-color 1000ms linear;_x000D_
    -ms-transition: background-color 1000ms linear;_x000D_
    transition: background-color 1000ms linear;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#content #nav a:hover {_x000D_
    background-color: #AD310B;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<div id="content">_x000D_
    <div id="nav">_x000D_
        <a href="#link1">Link 1</a>_x000D_

VARCHAR to DECIMAL

After testing I found that it was not the decimal place that was causing the problem, it was the precision (10)

This doesn't work: Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.

DECLARE @TestConvert VARCHAR(MAX) = '123456789.12343594'

SELECT CAST(@TestConvert AS DECIMAL(10, 4))

This worked

How to trap on UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints?

Followed Stephen's advice and tried to debug the code and whoa! it worked. The answer lies in the debug message itself.

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint NSLayoutConstraint:0x191f0920 H:[MPKnockoutButton:0x17a876b0]-(34)-[MPDetailSlider:0x17a8bc50](LTR)>

The line above tells you that the runtime worked by removing this constraint. May be you don't need Horizontal Spacing on your button (MPKnockoutButton). Once you clear this constraint, it won't complain at runtime & you would get the desired behaviour.

"Error 404 Not Found" in Magento Admin Login Page

Finally, I found the solution to my problem.

I looked into the Magento system log file (var/log/system.log). There I saw the exact error.

The error is as below:-

Recoverable Error: Argument 1 passed to Mage_Core_Model_Store::setWebsite() must be an instance of Mage_Core_Model_Website, null given, called in YOUR_PATH\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\App.php on line 555 and defined in YOUR_PATH\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Store.php on line 285

Recoverable Error: Argument 1 passed to Mage_Core_Model_Store_Group::setWebsite() must be an instance of Mage_Core_Model_Website, null given, called in YOUR_PATH\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\App.php on line 575 and defined in YOUR_PATH\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Store\Group.php on line 227

Actually, I had this error before. But, error display message like Error: 404 Not Found was new to me.

The reason for this error is that store_id and website_id for admin should be set to 0 (zero). But, when you import database to new server, somehow these values are not set to 0.

Open PhpMyAdmin and run the following query in your database:-

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
UPDATE `core_store` SET store_id = 0 WHERE code='admin';
UPDATE `core_store_group` SET group_id = 0 WHERE name='Default';
UPDATE `core_website` SET website_id = 0 WHERE code='admin';
UPDATE `customer_group` SET customer_group_id = 0 WHERE customer_group_code='NOT LOGGED IN';
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;

I have written about this problem and solution over here:-

Get output parameter value in ADO.NET

For anyone looking to do something similar using a reader with the stored procedure, note that the reader must be closed to retrieve the output value.

using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection())
{
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("sproc", conn);
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

    // add parameters
    SqlParameter outputParam = cmd.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int);
    outputParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

    conn.Open();

    using(IDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        while(reader.Read())
        {
            //read in data
        }
    }
    // reader is closed/disposed after exiting the using statement
    int id = outputParam.Value;
}

Handling multiple IDs in jQuery

Yes, #id selectors combined with a multiple selector (comma) is perfectly valid in both jQuery and CSS.

However, for your example, since <script> comes before the elements, you need a document.ready handler, so it waits until the elements are in the DOM to go looking for them, like this:

<script>
  $(function() {
    $("#segement1,#segement2,#segement3").hide()
  });
</script>

<div id="segement1"></div>
<div id="segement2"></div>

HTML5 Canvas 100% Width Height of Viewport?

In order to make the canvas full screen width and height always, meaning even when the browser is resized, you need to run your draw loop within a function that resizes the canvas to the window.innerHeight and window.innerWidth.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jaredwilli/qFuDr/

HTML

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

JavaScript

(function() {
    var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'),
            context = canvas.getContext('2d');

    // resize the canvas to fill browser window dynamically
    window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);

    function resizeCanvas() {
            canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
            canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

            /**
             * Your drawings need to be inside this function otherwise they will be reset when 
             * you resize the browser window and the canvas goes will be cleared.
             */
            drawStuff(); 
    }
    resizeCanvas();

    function drawStuff() {
            // do your drawing stuff here
    }
})();

CSS

* { margin:0; padding:0; } /* to remove the top and left whitespace */

html, body { width:100%; height:100%; } /* just to be sure these are full screen*/

canvas { display:block; } /* To remove the scrollbars */

That is how you properly make the canvas full width and height of the browser. You just have to put all the code for drawing to the canvas in the drawStuff() function.

        foreach (var item in trendsArray.Children())
        {
            var itemProperties = item.Children<JProperty>();
            //you could do a foreach or a linq here depending on what you need to do exactly with the value
            var myElement = itemProperties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "url");
            var myElementValue = myElement.Value; ////This is a JValue type
        }
    }

So call Children on your JArray to get each JObject in JArray. Call Children on each JObject to access the objects properties.

foreach(var item in yourJArray.Children())
{
    var itemProperties = item.Children<JProperty>();
    //you could do a foreach or a linq here depending on what you need to do exactly with the value
    var myElement = itemProperties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "url");
    var myElementValue = myElement.Value; ////This is a JValue type
}

How to capture Curl output to a file?

Insert images to XML file

XML is not a format for storing images, neither binary data. I think it all depends on how you want to use those images. If you are in a web application and would want to read them from there and display them, I would store the URLs. If you need to send them to another web endpoint, I would serialize them, rather than persisting manually in XML. Please explain what is the scenario.

How to get ERD diagram for an existing database?

Our team use Visual Paradigm to generate ER diagram from database in many of our projects. While we mainly work on MS SQL and Oracle, as I know they also support some other DBMS like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, DB2 and SQLite.

Steps:

Select Tools > DB > Reverse Database... from the toolbar of Visual Paradigm
Keep the settings as is and click Next Select PostgreSQL as driver and provide the driver file there. You can simply click on the download link there to get the driver.
Enter the hostname, database name, user and password, and then click Next
They will then study your database and lists out the tables in it.
Select the table to form an ERD and continue, and that's it. An ERD will be generated with the tables you selected presented.

BTW they also support generating and updating database schema from ERD.

Hope this helps. :-)

How to use an image for the background in tkinter?

You can use the root.configure(background='your colour') example:- import tkinter root=tkiner.Tk() root.configure(background='pink')

What is lexical scope?

A lexical scope in JavaScript means that a variable defined outside a function can be accessible inside another function defined after the variable declaration. But the opposite is not true; the variables defined inside a function will not be accessible outside that function.

This concept is heavily used in closures in JavaScript.

Let's say we have the below code.

var x = 2;
var add = function() {
    var y = 1;
    return x + y;
};

Now, when you call add() --> this will print 3.

So, the add() function is accessing the global variable x which is defined before method function add. This is called due to lexical scoping in JavaScript.

Does overflow:hidden applied to <body> work on iPhone Safari?

For me this:

height: 100%; 
overflow: hidden; 
width: 100%; 
position: fixed;

Wasn't enough, i't didn't work on iOS on Safari. I also had to add:

top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;

To make it work good. Works fine now :)

convert iso date to milliseconds in javascript

Another option as of 2017 is to use Date.parse(). MDN's documentation points out, however, that it is unreliable prior to ES5.

var date = new Date(); // today's date and time in ISO format
var myDate = Date.parse(date);

See the fiddle for more details.

VBA using ubound on a multidimensional array

[This is a late answer addressing the title of the question (since that is what people would encounter when searching) rather than the specifics of OP's question which has already been answered adequately]

Ubound is a bit fragile in that it provides no way to know how many dimensions an array has. You can use error trapping to determine the full layout of an array. The following returns a collection of arrays, one for each dimension. The count property can be used to determine the number of dimensions and their lower and upper bounds can be extracted as needed:

Function Bounds(A As Variant) As Collection
    Dim C As New Collection
    Dim v As Variant, i As Long

    On Error GoTo exit_function
    i = 1
    Do While True
        v = Array(LBound(A, i), UBound(A, i))
        C.Add v
        i = i + 1
    Loop
exit_function:
    Set Bounds = C
End Function

Used like this:

Sub test()
    Dim i As Long
    Dim A(1 To 10, 1 To 5, 4 To 10) As Integer
    Dim B(1 To 5) As Variant
    Dim C As Variant
    Dim sizes As Collection

    Set sizes = Bounds(A)
    Debug.Print "A has " & sizes.Count & " dimensions:"
    For i = 1 To sizes.Count
        Debug.Print sizes(i)(0) & " to " & sizes(i)(1)
    Next i

    Set sizes = Bounds(B)
    Debug.Print vbCrLf & "B has " & sizes.Count & " dimensions:"
    For i = 1 To sizes.Count
        Debug.Print sizes(i)(0) & " to " & sizes(i)(1)
    Next i

    Set sizes = Bounds(C)
    Debug.Print vbCrLf & "C has " & sizes.Count & " dimensions:"
    For i = 1 To sizes.Count
        Debug.Print sizes(i)(0) & " to " & sizes(i)(1)
    Next i
End Sub

Output:

A has 3 dimensions:
1 to 10
1 to 5
4 to 10

B has 1 dimensions:
1 to 5

C has 0 dimensions:

How do I dispatch_sync, dispatch_async, dispatch_after, etc in Swift 3, Swift 4, and beyond?

Since the beginning, Swift has provided some facilities for making ObjC and C more Swifty, adding more with each version. Now, in Swift 3, the new "import as member" feature lets frameworks with certain styles of C API -- where you have a data type that works sort of like a class, and a bunch of global functions to work with it -- act more like Swift-native APIs. The data types import as Swift classes, their related global functions import as methods and properties on those classes, and some related things like sets of constants can become subtypes where appropriate.

In Xcode 8 / Swift 3 beta, Apple has applied this feature (along with a few others) to make the Dispatch framework much more Swifty. (And Core Graphics, too.) If you've been following the Swift open-source efforts, this isn't news, but now is the first time it's part of Xcode.

Your first step on moving any project to Swift 3 should be to open it in Xcode 8 and choose Edit > Convert > To Current Swift Syntax... in the menu. This will apply (with your review and approval) all of the changes at once needed for all the renamed APIs and other changes. (Often, a line of code is affected by more than one of these changes at once, so responding to error fix-its individually might not handle everything right.)

The result is that the common pattern for bouncing work to the background and back now looks like this:

// Move to a background thread to do some long running work
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async {
    let image = self.loadOrGenerateAnImage()
    // Bounce back to the main thread to update the UI
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        self.imageView.image = image
    }
}

Note we're using .userInitiated instead of one of the old DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY constants. Quality of Service (QoS) specifiers were introduced in OS X 10.10 / iOS 8.0, providing a clearer way for the system to prioritize work and deprecating the old priority specifiers. See Apple's docs on background work and energy efficiency for details.

By the way, if you're keeping your own queues to organize work, the way to get one now looks like this (notice that DispatchQueueAttributes is an OptionSet, so you use collection-style literals to combine options):

class Foo { 
    let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.example.my-serial-queue",
                           attributes: [.serial, .qosUtility])
    func doStuff() {
        queue.async {
            print("Hello World")
        }
    }
}

Using dispatch_after to do work later? That's a method on queues, too, and it takes a DispatchTime, which has operators for various numeric types so you can just add whole or fractional seconds:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) { // in half a second...
    print("Are we there yet?")
}

You can find your way around the new Dispatch API by opening its interface in Xcode 8 -- use Open Quickly to find the Dispatch module, or put a symbol (like DispatchQueue) in your Swift project/playground and command-click it, then brouse around the module from there. (You can find the Swift Dispatch API in Apple's spiffy new API Reference website and in-Xcode doc viewer, but it looks like the doc content from the C version hasn't moved into it just yet.)

See the Migration Guide for more tips.

How to stop an app on Heroku?

You might have to be more specific and specify the app name as well (this is the name of the app as you have it in heroku). For example:

heroku ps:scale web=0 --app myAppName

Otherwise you might get the following message:

 % heroku ps:scale web=0
Scaling dynos... failed
 !    No app specified.
 !    Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP.

Why does this "Slow network detected..." log appear in Chrome?

I faced same issue for chrome build 61.0.3163.100 on MacOs Sierra with localhost as server. Chrome started logging this message when I changed network speed configuration to 3G fast/ 3G slow and again back to Online.

Fix: When I tried selecting Offline mode and again Online mode, the logging issue disappeared. (This fix may no work on some devices or versions)

How to convert HTML to PDF using iText

You can do it with the HTMLWorker class (deprecated) like this:

import com.itextpdf.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker;
//...
try {
    String k = "<html><body> This is my Project </body></html>";
    OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:\\Test.pdf"));
    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
    document.open();
    HTMLWorker htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker(document);
    htmlWorker.parse(new StringReader(k));
    document.close();
    file.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

or using the XMLWorker, (download from this jar) using this code:

import com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper;
//...
try {
    String k = "<html><body> This is my Project </body></html>";
    OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:\\Test.pdf"));
    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
    document.open();
    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(k.getBytes());
    XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);
    document.close();
    file.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Html.HiddenFor value property not getting set

Keep in mind the second parameter to @Html.HiddenFor will only be used to set the value when it can't find route or model data matching the field. Darin is correct, use view model.

Multiple Forms or Multiple Submits in a Page?

Best practice: one form per product is definitely the way to go.

Benefits:

It will save you the hassle of having to parse the data to figure out which product was clicked
It will reduce the size of data being posted

In your specific situation

If you only ever intend to have one form element, in this case a submit button, one form for all should work just fine.

My recommendation Do one form per product, and change your markup to something like:

<form method="post" action="">
    <input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="123">
    <button type="submit" name="action" value="add_to_cart">Add to Cart</button>
</form>

This will give you a much cleaner and usable POST. No parsing. And it will allow you to add more parameters in the future (size, color, quantity, etc).

Note: There's no technical benefit to using <button> vs. <input>, but as a programmer I find it cooler to work with action=='add_to_cart' than action=='Add to Cart'. Besides, I hate mixing presentation with logic. If one day you decide that it makes more sense for the button to say "Add" or if you want to use different languages, you could do so freely without having to worry about your back-end code.

Apache 2.4 - Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error

This problem can be caused by requests for certain files that don't exist. For example, requests for files in wp-content/uploads/ where the file does not exist.

If this is the situation you're seeing, you can solve the problem by going to .htaccess and changing this line:

RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]

to:

RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) - [L]

The underlying issue is that the rule above triggers a rewrite to the exact same url with a slash in front and because there was a rewrite, the newly rewritten request goes back through the rules again and the same rule is triggered. By changing that line's "$1" to "-", no rewrite happens and so the rewriting process does not start over again with the same URL.

It's possible that there's a difference in how apache 2.2 and 2.4 handle this situation of only-difference-is-a-slash-in-front and that's why the default rules provided by WordPress aren't working perfectly.

curl_exec() always returns false

In my case I need to set VERIFYHOST and VERIFYPEER to false, like this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

before the call to curl_exec($ch).

Because i am working between two development environments with self-assigned certificates. With valid certificates there is no need to set VERIFYHOST and VERIFYPEER to false because the curl_exec($ch) method will work and return the response you expect.

When to throw an exception?

There are two main classes of exception:

1) System exception (eg Database connection lost) or 2) User exception. (eg User input validation, 'password is incorrect')

I found it helpful to create my own User Exception Class and when I want to throw a user error I want to be handled differently (ie resourced error displayed to the user) then all I need do in my main error handler is check the object type:

            If TypeName(ex) = "UserException" Then
               Display(ex.message)
            Else
               DisplayError("An unexpected error has occured, contact your help  desk")                   
               LogError(ex)
            End If

Android fastboot waiting for devices

In my case (on windows 10), it would connect fine to adb and I could type any adb commands. But as soon as it got to the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader I wasn't able to perform any fastboot commands.

What I did notice that in the device manager that it refreshed when I connected to device. Next thing to do was to check what changed when connecting. Apparently the fastboot device was inside the Kedacom USB Device. Not really sure what that was, but I updated the device to use a different driver, in my case the Fastboot interface (Google USB ID), and that fixed my waiting for device issue

How to change dot size in gnuplot

The pointsize command scales the size of points, but does not affect the size of dots.

In other words, plot ... with points ps 2 will generate points of twice the normal size, but for plot ... with dots ps 2 the "ps 2" part is ignored.

You could use circular points (pt 7), which look just like dots.

Escape double quotes in parameter

The 2nd document quoted by Peter Mortensen in his comment on the answer of Codesmith made things much clearer for me. That document was written by windowsinspired.com. The link repeated: A Better Way To Understand Quoting and Escaping of Windows Command Line Arguments.

Some further trial and error leads to the following guideline:

Escape every double quote " with a caret ^. If you want other characters with special meaning to the Windows command shell (e.g., <, >, |, &) to be interpreted as regular characters instead, then escape them with a caret, too.

If you want your program foo to receive the command line text "a\"b c" > d and redirect its output to file out.txt, then start your program as follows from the Windows command shell:

foo ^"a\^"b c^" ^> d > out.txt

If foo interprets \" as a literal double quote and expects unescaped double quotes to delimit arguments that include whitespace, then foo interprets the command as specifying one argument a"b c, one argument >, and one argument d.

If instead foo interprets a doubled double quote "" as a literal double quote, then start your program as

foo ^"a^"^"b c^" ^> d > out.txt

The key insight from the quoted document is that, to the Windows command shell, an unescaped double quote triggers switching between two possible states.

Some further trial and error implies that in the initial state, redirection (to a file or pipe) is recognized and a caret ^ escapes a double quote and the caret is removed from the input. In the other state, redirection is not recognized and a caret does not escape a double quote and isn't removed. Let's refer to these states as 'outside' and 'inside', respectively.

If you want to redirect the output of your command, then the command shell must be in the outside state when it reaches the redirection, so there must be an even number of unescaped (by caret) double quotes preceding the redirection. foo "a\"b " > out.txt won't work -- the command shell passes the entire "a\"b " > out.txt to foo as its combined command line arguments, instead of passing only "a\"b " and redirecting the output to out.txt.

foo "a\^"b " > out.txt won't work, either, because the caret ^ is encountered in the inside state where it is an ordinary character and not an escape character, so "a\^"b " > out.txt gets passed to foo.

The only way that (hopefully) always works is to keep the command shell always in the outside state, because then redirection works.

If you don't need redirection (or other characters with special meaning to the command shell), then you can do without the carets. If foo interprets \" as a literal double quote, then you can call it as

foo "a\"b c"

Then foo receives "a\"b c" as its combined arguments text and can interpret it as a single argument equal to a"b c.

Now -- finally -- to the original question. myscript '"test"' called from the Windows command shell passes '"test"' to myscript. Apparently myscript interprets the single and double quotes as argument delimiters and removes them. You need to figure out what myscript accepts as a literal double quote and then specify that in your command, using ^ to escape any characters that have special meaning to the Windows command shell. Given that myscript is also available on Unix, perhaps \" does the trick. Try

myscript \^"test\^"

or, if you don't need redirection,

myscript \"test\"

Compiling a C++ program with gcc

If I recall correctly, gcc determines the filetype from the suffix. So, make it foo.cc and it should work.

And, to answer your other question, that is the difference between "gcc" and "g++". gcc is a frontend that chooses the correct compiler.

How do I concatenate const/literal strings in C?

The first argument of strcat() needs to be able to hold enough space for the concatenated string. So allocate a buffer with enough space to receive the result.

char bigEnough[64] = "";

strcat(bigEnough, "TEXT");
strcat(bigEnough, foo);

/* and so on */

strcat() will concatenate the second argument with the first argument, and store the result in the first argument, the returned char* is simply this first argument, and only for your convenience.

You do not get a newly allocated string with the first and second argument concatenated, which I'd guess you expected based on your code.

Implode an array with JavaScript?

For future reference, if you want to mimic the behaviour of PHP's implode() when no delimiter is specified (literally just join the pieces together), you need to pass an empty string into Javascript's join() otherwise it defaults to using commas as delimiters:

var bits = ['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'];
alert(bits.join());    // H,e,l,l,o, ,W,o,r,l,d
alert(bits.join(''));  // Hello World

Check if a parameter is null or empty in a stored procedure

you can use:

IF(@PreviousStartDate IS NULL OR @PreviousStartDate = '')

Comparing two input values in a form validation with AngularJS

Of course for very simple comparisons you can always use ngMin/ngMax.

Otherwise, you can go with a custom directive, and there is no need of doing any $watch or $observe or $eval or this fancy $setValidity back and forth. Also, there is no need to hook into the postLink function at all. Try to stay out of the DOM as much as possible, as it is against the angular spirit.

Just use the lifecycle hooks the framework gives you. Add a validator and $validate at each change. Simple as that.

app.directive('sameAs', function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    require: {
      ngModelCtrl: 'ngModel'
    },
    scope: {
      reference: '<sameAs'
    },
    bindToController: true,
    controller: function($scope) {
      var $ctrl = $scope.$ctrl;

      //add the validator to the ngModelController
      $ctrl.$onInit = function() {
        function sameAsReference (modelValue, viewValue) {
          if (!$ctrl.reference || !modelValue) { //nothing to compare
            return true;
          }
          return modelValue === $ctrl.reference;
        }
        $ctrl.ngModelCtrl.$validators.sameas = sameAsReference;
      };

      //do the check at each change
      $ctrl.$onChanges = function(changesObj) {
        $ctrl.ngModelCtrl.$validate();
      };
    },
    controllerAs: '$ctrl'
  };
});

python 3.2 UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2013' in position 9629: character maps to <undefined>

Maybe a little late to reply. I happen to run into the same problem today. I find that on Windows you can change the console encoder to utf-8 or other encoder that can represent your data. Then you can print it to sys.stdout.

First, run following code in the console:

chcp 65001
set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

Then, start python do anything you want.

Spring Boot - inject map from application.yml

Below solution is a shorthand for @Andy Wilkinson's solution, except that it doesn't have to use a separate class or on a @Bean annotated method.

application.yml:

input:
  name: raja
  age: 12
  somedata:
    abcd: 1 
    bcbd: 2
    cdbd: 3

SomeComponent.java:

@Component
@EnableConfigurationProperties
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "input")
class SomeComponent {

    @Value("${input.name}")
    private String name;

    @Value("${input.age}")
    private Integer age;

    private HashMap<String, Integer> somedata;

    public HashMap<String, Integer> getSomedata() {
        return somedata;
    }

    public void setSomedata(HashMap<String, Integer> somedata) {
        this.somedata = somedata;
    }

}

We can club both @Value annotation and @ConfigurationProperties, no issues. But getters and setters are important and @EnableConfigurationProperties is must to have the @ConfigurationProperties to work.

I tried this idea from groovy solution provided by @Szymon Stepniak, thought it will be useful for someone.

Currency format for display

Try the Currency Format Specifier ("C"). It automatically takes the current UI culture into account and displays currency values accordingly.

You can use it with either String.Format or the overloaded ToString method for a numeric type.

For example:

double value = 12345.6789;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));

Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C3", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));

Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C3", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("da-DK")));

// The example displays the following output on a system whose
// current culture is English (United States):
//       $12,345.68
//       $12,345.679
//       kr 12.345,679

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition sometimes works sometimes doesn't

Same here people, this works perfect btw in Chrome (stable, dev and canary) just not in FF and Safari. It also works perfect on my iPhone and iPad (Safari!). This might be due to the relative newness of this feature (i.e. it is a bug). I spend almost a week on this now and I just cannot get it to work on those browsers

Here's what I found:

The first time you call getCurrentPosition it works perfect. Any subsequent call never returns, i.e. it does not fire the successCallback or the errorCallback functions. I added a few position options to my call to prove my point:

 navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successCallback, errorCallback,  {timeout: 10000});

and it times out every time (after the first successful call). I thought I could fix it with maximumAge, but that doesn't seem to be working as it is suppose to work either:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successCallback, errorCallback,  {maximumAge:60000, timeout: 2000});

this should prevent actually calling the getCurrentPosition function if you call it within 60 seconds, but it ignores this (however, this could be due because I actually refresh my page to trigger the second call, not sure if this is persistent accross calls)

btw, even google's examples fail on these browsers which leads me to believe that this are indeed browser bugs, try it, load it twice in Safari and it won't work the second time.

If anybody finds a solution for this, PLEASE let me know :-)

Cheers.

Function passed as template argument

Function pointers can be passed as template parameters, and this is part of standard C++ . However in the template they are declared and used as functions rather than pointer-to-function. At template instantiation one passes the address of the function rather than just the name.

For example:

int i;


void add1(int& i) { i += 1; }

template<void op(int&)>
void do_op_fn_ptr_tpl(int& i) { op(i); }

i = 0;
do_op_fn_ptr_tpl<&add1>(i);

If you want to pass a functor type as a template argument:

struct add2_t {
  void operator()(int& i) { i += 2; }
};

template<typename op>
void do_op_fntr_tpl(int& i) {
  op o;
  o(i);
}

i = 0;
do_op_fntr_tpl<add2_t>(i);

Several answers pass a functor instance as an argument:

template<typename op>
void do_op_fntr_arg(int& i, op o) { o(i); }

i = 0;
add2_t add2;

// This has the advantage of looking identical whether 
// you pass a functor or a free function:
do_op_fntr_arg(i, add1);
do_op_fntr_arg(i, add2);

The closest you can get to this uniform appearance with a template argument is to define do_op twice- once with a non-type parameter and once with a type parameter.

// non-type (function pointer) template parameter
template<void op(int&)>
void do_op(int& i) { op(i); }

// type (functor class) template parameter
template<typename op>
void do_op(int& i) {
  op o; 
  o(i); 
}

i = 0;
do_op<&add1>(i); // still need address-of operator in the function pointer case.
do_op<add2_t>(i);

Honestly, I really expected this not to compile, but it worked for me with gcc-4.8 and Visual Studio 2013.

Design Patterns web based applications

In the beaten-up MVC pattern, the Servlet is "C" - controller.

Its main job is to do initial request evaluation and then dispatch the processing based on the initial evaluation to the specific worker. One of the worker's responsibilities may be to setup some presentation layer beans and forward the request to the JSP page to render HTML. So, for this reason alone, you need to pass the request object to the service layer.

I would not, though, start writing raw Servlet classes. The work they do is very predictable and boilerplate, something that framework does very well. Fortunately, there are many available, time-tested candidates ( in the alphabetical order ): Apache Wicket, Java Server Faces, Spring to name a few.

C# - What does the Assert() method do? Is it still useful?

From Code Complete

8 Defensive Programming

8.2 Assertions

An assertion is code that’s used during development—usually a routine or macro—that allows a program to check itself as it runs. When a assertion is true, that means everything is operating as expected. When it’s false, that means it has detected an unexpected error in the code. For example, if the system assumes that a customer-information file will never have more than 50,000 records, the program might contain an assertion that the number of records is less than or equal to 50,000. As long as the number of records is less than or equal to 50,000, the assertion will be silent. If it encounters more than 50,000 records, however, it will loudly “assert” that there is a error in the program.

Assertions are especially useful in large, complicated programs and in high-reliability programs. They enable programmers to more quickly flush out mismatched interface assumptions, errors that creep in when the code is modified, and so on.

An assertion usually takes two arguments: a boolean expression that describes the assumption that’s supposed to be true and a message to display if it isn’t.

(…)

Normally, you don’t want users to see assertion messages in production code; assertions are primarily for use during development and maintenance. Assertions are normally compiled into the code at development time and compiled out of the code for production. During development, assertions flush out contradictory assumptions, unexpected conditions, bad values passed to routines, and so on. During production, they are compiled out of the code so that the assertions don’t degrade system performance.

How to use PHP with Visual Studio

Maybe we should help you with a big misunderstanding on your side first: PHP is (like ASP.NET or whatever you used to far) a server side language while javascript is client side.

This means that PHP will run on your webserver and create a HTML page dynamically which is then sent to the browser. Javascript in turn is embedded (either directly or as a referenced file) into this HTML page and runs in the browser.

Maybe you can now understand why your approach so far could never work out.

Deleting an element from an array in PHP

To avoid doing a search one can play around with array_diff:

$array = array(3, 9, 11, 20);
$array = array_diff($array, array(11) ); // removes 11

In this case one doesn't have to search/use the key.

How to turn a String into a JavaScript function call?

In javascript that uses the CommonJS spec, like node.js for instance you can do what I show below. Which is pretty handy for accessing a variable by a string even if its not defined on the window object. If there is a class named MyClass, defined within a CommonJS module named MyClass.js

// MyClass.js
var MyClass = function() {
    // I do stuff in here. Probably return an object
    return {
       foo: "bar"
    }
}

module.exports = MyClass;

You can then do this nice bit o witchcraft from another file called MyOtherFile.js

// MyOtherFile.js

var myString = "MyClass";

var MyClass = require('./' + myString);
var obj = new MyClass();

console.log(obj.foo); // returns "bar"

One more reason why CommonJS is such a pleasure.

// prints all output, complains and halts on error                              
def runCommand = { strList ->
  assert ( strList instanceof String ||
           ( strList instanceof List && strList.each{ it instanceof String } ) \
)
  def proc = strList.execute()
  proc.in.eachLine { line -> println line }
  proc.out.close()

  print "[INFO] ( "
  if(strList instanceof List) {
    strList.each { print "${it} " }
  } else {

  }

How do I make a C++ macro behave like a function?

Macros should generally be avoided; prefer inline functions to them at all times. Any compiler worth its salt should be capable of inlining a small function as if it were a macro, and an inline function will respect namespaces and other scopes, as well as evaluating all the arguments once.

If it must be a macro, a while loop (already suggested) will work, or you can try the comma operator:

#define MACRO(X,Y) \
 ( \
  (cout << "1st arg is:" << (X) << endl), \
  (cout << "2nd arg is:" << (Y) << endl), \
  (cout << "3rd arg is:" << ((X) + (Y)) << endl), \
  (void)0 \
 )

The (void)0 causes the statement to evaluate to one of void type, and the use of commas rather than semicolons allows it to be used inside a statement, rather than only as a standalone. I would still recommend an inline function for a host of reasons, the least of which being scope and the fact that MACRO(a++, b++) will increment a and b twice.

Which UUID version to use?

Postgres documentation describes the differences between UUIDs. A couple of them:

V3:

uuid_generate_v3(namespace uuid, name text) - This function generates a version 3 UUID in the given namespace using the specified input name.

V4:

uuid_generate_v4 - This function generates a version 4 UUID, which is derived entirely from random numbers.

How do I install Python 3 on an AWS EC2 instance?

If you do a

sudo yum list | grep python3

sudo yum install python34 python34-pip

In Java, what is the best way to determine the size of an object?

long heapSizeBefore = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory();

// Code for object construction
...
long heapSizeAfter = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory();
long size = heapSizeAfter - heapSizeBefore;

size gives you the increase in memory usage of the jvm due to object creation and that typically is the size of the object.

In Python how should I test if a variable is None, True or False

There are many good answers. I would like to add one more point. A bug can get into your code if you are working with numerical values, and your answer is happened to be 0.

a = 0 
b = 10 
c = None

### Common approach that can cause a problem

if not a:
    print(f"Answer is not found. Answer is {str(a)}.") 
else:
    print(f"Answer is: {str(a)}.")

if not b:
    print(f"Answer is not found. Answer is {str(b)}.") 
else:
    print(f"Answer is: {str(b)}")

if not c:
    print(f"Answer is not found. Answer is {str(c)}.") 
else:
    print(f"Answer is: {str(c)}.")

Answer is not found. Answer is 0.   
Answer is: 10.   
Answer is not found. Answer is None.

### Safer approach 
if a is None:
    print(f"Answer is not found. Answer is {str(a)}.") 
else:
    print(f"Answer is: {str(a)}.")

if b is None:
    print(f"Answer is not found. Answer is {str(b)}.") 
else:
    print(f"Answer is: {str(b)}.")

if c is None:
    print(f"Answer is not found. Answer is {str(c)}.") 
else:
    print(f"Answer is: {str(c)}.")

Answer is: 0.
Answer is: 10.
Answer is not found. Answer is None.

how to convert long date value to mm/dd/yyyy format

Refer below code for formatting date

long strDate1 = 1346524199000;
Date date=new Date(strDate1);

try {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z");
        SimpleDateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
        date = df2.format(format.parse("yourdate");
    } catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Insert new item in array on any position in PHP

$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$b = array_merge(array_slice($a, 0, 2), array(5), array_slice($a, 2));
// $b = array(1, 2, 5, 3, 4)

no module named urllib.parse (How should I install it?)

The urlparse in Python 2.7.11 was renamed to urllib.parse in Python 3. So, if you have a code such from urlparse import urlparse, I suggest you change it to from urllib.parse import urlparse Since you are using python 2.7.5, using the below will solve your poblem

from urlparse import urlparse

Instead of from urllib.parse import urlparse

update listview dynamically with adapter

Most people recommend using notifyDataSetChanged(), but I found this link pretty useful. In fact using clear and add you can accomplish the same goal using less memory footprint, and more responsibe app.

For example:

notesListAdapter.clear();
notes = new ArrayList<Note>();
notesListAdapter.add(todayNote);
if (birthdayNote != null) notesListAdapter.add(birthdayNote);

/* no need to refresh, let the adaptor do its job */

How to update a menu item shown in the ActionBar?

in my case: invalidateOptionsMenu just re-setted the text to the original one, but directly accessing the menu item and re-writing the desire text worked without problems:

if (mnuTopMenuActionBar_ != null) {
    MenuItem mnuPageIndex = mnuTopMenuActionBar_
        .findItem(R.id.menu_magazin_pageOfPage_text);

    if (mnuPageIndex != null) {
        if (getScreenOrientation() == 1) {
            mnuPageIndex.setTitle((i + 1) + " von " + pages);
        }
        else {
            mnuPageIndex.setTitle(
                (i + 1) + " + " + (i + 2) + " " + " von " + pages);
        }
        // invalidateOptionsMenu();
    }
}

due to the comment below, I was able to access the menu item via the following code:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.magazine_swipe_activity, menu);
    mnuTopMenuActionBar_ = menu;
    return true;
}

Adding value labels on a matplotlib bar chart

If you only want to add Datapoints above the bars, you could easily do it with:

 for i in range(len(frequencies)): # your number of bars
    plt.text(x = x_values[i]-0.25, #takes your x values as horizontal positioning argument 
    y = y_values[i]+1, #takes your y values as vertical positioning argument 
    s = data_labels[i], # the labels you want to add to the data
    size = 9) # font size of datalabels

ng-repeat :filter by single field

You must use filter:{color_name:by_colour} instead of

filter:by_colour

If you want to match with a single property of an object, then write that property instead of object, otherwise some other property will get match.

Method call if not null in C#

Maybe not better but in my opinion more readable is to create an extension method

public static bool IsNull(this object obj) {
 return obj == null;
}

Ruby on Rails: Where to define global constants?

Some options:

Using a constant:

class Card
  COLOURS = ['white', 'blue', 'black', 'red', 'green', 'yellow'].freeze
end

Lazy loaded using class instance variable:

class Card
  def self.colours
    @colours ||= ['white', 'blue', 'black', 'red', 'green', 'yellow'].freeze
  end
end

If it is a truly global constant (avoid global constants of this nature, though), you could also consider putting a top-level constant in config/initializers/my_constants.rb for example.

What is the python "with" statement designed for?

Again for completeness I'll add my most useful use-case for with statements.

I do a lot of scientific computing and for some activities I need the Decimal library for arbitrary precision calculations. Some part of my code I need high precision and for most other parts I need less precision.

I set my default precision to a low number and then use with to get a more precise answer for some sections:

from decimal import localcontext

with localcontext() as ctx:
    ctx.prec = 42   # Perform a high precision calculation
    s = calculate_something()
s = +s  # Round the final result back to the default precision

I use this a lot with the Hypergeometric Test which requires the division of large numbers resulting form factorials. When you do genomic scale calculations you have to be careful of round-off and overflow errors.

Generating unique random numbers (integers) between 0 and 'x'

Something like this

var limit = 10;
var amount = 3;
var nums = new Array();

for(int i = 0; i < amount; i++)
{
    var add = true;
    var n = Math.round(Math.random()*limit + 1;
    for(int j = 0; j < limit.length; j++)
    {
        if(nums[j] == n)
        {
            add = false;
        }
    }
    if(add)
    {
        nums.push(n)
    }
    else
    {
        i--;
    }
}

How to maximize the browser window in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using C#?

Test step/scenario:
1. Open a browser and navigate to TestURL
2. Maximize the browser

Maximize the browser with C# (.NET):

driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

Maximize the browser with Java :

driver.manage().window().maximize();

Another way to do with Java:

Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Dimension screenResolution = new Dimension((int) 
                    toolkit.getScreenSize().getWidth(), (int) 
                    toolkit.getScreenSize().getHeight());

driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

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.

LINQ where clause with lambda expression having OR clauses and null values returning incomplete results

Try writting the lambda with the same conditions as the delegate. like this:

  List<AnalysisObject> analysisObjects = 
    analysisObjectRepository.FindAll().Where(
    (x => 
       (x.ID == packageId)
    || (x.Parent != null && x.Parent.ID == packageId)
    || (x.Parent != null && x.Parent.Parent != null && x.Parent.Parent.ID == packageId)
    ).ToList();

Why this line xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" must be the first in the layout xml file?

xmlns refers to the XML namespace

When using prefixes in XML, a so-called namespace for the prefix must be defined. The namespace is defined by the xmlns attribute in the start tag of an element. The namespace declaration has the following syntax. xmlns:prefix="URI".

Note: The namespace URI is not used by the parser to look up information.

The purpose is to give the namespace a unique name. However, often companies use the namespace as a pointer to a web page containing namespace information.

How to deploy a React App on Apache web server

Firstly, in your react project go to your package.json and adjust this line line of code to match your destination domain address + folder:

"homepage": "https://yourwebsite.com/your_folder_name/",

Secondly, go to terminal in your react project and type:

npm run build

Now, take all files from that newly created build folder and upload them into your_folder_name, with filezilla in subfolder like this:

public_html/your_folder_name

Check in the browser!

Difference between Apache CXF and Axis

Keep in mind, I'm completely biased (PMC Chair of CXF), but my thoughts:

From a strictly "can the project do what I need it to do" perspective, both are pretty equivalent. There some "edge case" things that CXF can do that Axis 2 cannot and vice versa. But for 90% of the use cases, either will work fine.

Thus, it comes down to a bunch of other things other than "check box features".

API - CXF pushes "standards based" API's (JAX-WS compliant) whereas Axis2 general goes toward proprietary things. That said, even CXF may require uses of proprietary API's to configure/control various things outside the JAX-WS spec. For REST, CXF also uses standard API's (JAX-RS compliant) instead of proprietary things. (Yes, I'm aware of the JAX-WS runtime in Axis2, but the tooling and docs and everything doesn't target it)
Community aspects and supportability - CXF prides itself on responding to issues and making "fixpacks" available to users. CXF did 12 fixpacks for 2.0.x (released two years ago, so about every 2 months), 6 fixpacks to 2.1.x, and now 3 for 2.2.x. Axis2 doesn't really "support" older versions. Unless a "critical" issue is hit, you may need to wait till the next big release (they average about every 9-10 months or so) to get fixes. (although, with either, you can grab the source code and patch/fix yourself. Gotta love open source.)
Integration - CXF has much better Spring integration if you use Spring. All the configuration and such is done through Spring. Also, people tend to consider CXF as more "embeddable" (I've never looked at Axis2 from this perspective) into other applications. Not sure if things like that matter to you.
Performance - they both perform very well. I think Axis2's proprietary ADB databinding is a bit faster than CXF, but if you use JAXB (standards based API's again), CXF is a bit faster. When using more complex scenarios like WS-Security, the underlying security "engine" (WSS4J) is the same for both so the performance is completely comparable.

Not sure if that answers the question at all. Hope it at least provides some information.

BeautifulSoup getting href

You can use find_all in the following way to find every a element that has an href attribute, and print each one:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

html = '''<a href="some_url">next</a>
<span class="class"><a href="another_url">later</a></span>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True):
    print "Found the URL:", a['href']

The output would be:

Found the URL: some_url
Found the URL: another_url

Note that if you're using an older version of BeautifulSoup (before version 4) the name of this method is findAll. In version 4, BeautifulSoup's method names were changed to be PEP 8 compliant, so you should use find_all instead.

If you want all tags with an href, you can omit the name parameter:

href_tags = soup.find_all(href=True)

PDO's query vs execute

query runs a standard SQL statement and requires you to properly escape all data to avoid SQL Injections and other issues.

execute runs a prepared statement which allows you to bind parameters to avoid the need to escape or quote the parameters. execute will also perform better if you are repeating a query multiple times. Example of prepared statements:

$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->bindParam(':calories', $calories);
$sth->bindParam(':colour', $colour);
$sth->execute();
// $calories or $color do not need to be escaped or quoted since the
//    data is separated from the query

Best practice is to stick with prepared statements and execute for increased security.

How to set the JSTL variable value in javascript?

You can save the whole jstl object as a Javascript object by converting the whole object to json. It is possible by Jackson in java.

Bulk Insert into Oracle database: Which is better: FOR Cursor loop or a simple Select?

The general rule-of-thumb is, if you can do it using a single SQL statement instead of using PL/SQL, you should. It will usually be more efficient.

However, if you need to add more procedural logic (for some reason), you might need to use PL/SQL, but you should use bulk operations instead of row-by-row processing. (Note: in Oracle 10g and later, your FOR loop will automatically use BULK COLLECT to fetch 100 rows at a time; however your insert statement will still be done row-by-row).

e.g.

DECLARE
   TYPE tA IS TABLE OF FOO.A%TYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
   TYPE tB IS TABLE OF FOO.B%TYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
   TYPE tC IS TABLE OF FOO.C%TYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
   rA tA;
   rB tB;
   rC tC;
BEGIN
   SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO rA, rB, rC FROM FOO;
   -- (do some procedural logic on the data?)
   FORALL i IN rA.FIRST..rA.LAST
      INSERT INTO BAR(A,
                      B,
                      C)
      VALUES(rA(i),
             rB(i),
             rC(i));
END;

The above has the benefit of minimising context switches between SQL and PL/SQL. Oracle 11g also has better support for tables of records so that you don't have to have a separate PL/SQL table for each column.

Also, if the volume of data is very great, it is possible to change the code to process the data in batches.

How to quietly remove a directory with content in PowerShell

2018 Update

In the current version of PowerShell (tested with v5.1 on Windows 10 1809) one can use the simpler Unix syntax rm -R .\DirName to silently delete the directory .\DirName with all subdirectories and files it may contain. In fact many common Unix commands work in the same way in PowerShell as in a Linux command line.

How to load a UIView using a nib file created with Interface Builder

To programmatically load a view from a nib/xib in Swift 4:

// Load a view from a Nib given a placeholder view subclass
//      Placeholder is an instance of the view to load.  Placeholder is discarded.
//      If no name is provided, the Nib name is the same as the subclass type name
//
public func loadViewFromNib<T>(placeholder placeholderView: T, name givenNibName: String? = nil) -> T {

    let nib = loadNib(givenNibName, placeholder: placeholderView)
    return instantiateView(fromNib: nib, placeholder: placeholderView)
}

// Step 1: Returns a Nib
//
public func loadNib<T>(_ givenNibName: String? = nil, placeholder placeholderView: T) -> UINib {
    //1. Load and unarchive nib file
    let nibName = givenNibName ?? String(describing: type(of: placeholderView))

    let nib = UINib(nibName: nibName, bundle: Bundle.main)
    return nib
}

// Step 2: Instantiate a view given a nib
//
public func instantiateView<T>(fromNib nib: UINib, placeholder placeholderView: T) -> T {
    //1. Get top level objects
    let topLevelObjects = nib.instantiate(withOwner: placeholderView, options: nil)

    //2. Have at least one top level object
    guard let firstObject = topLevelObjects.first else {
        fatalError("\(#function): no top level objects in nib")
    }

    //3. Return instantiated view, placeholderView is not used
    let instantiatedView = firstObject as! T
    return instantiatedView
}
