Programs & Examples On #Point clouds

A point cloud is a set of vertices in three-dimensional space, and is commonly the data set output by 3D scanners.

PLS-00201 - identifier must be declared

When creating the TABLE under B2BOWNER, be sure to prefix the PL/SQL function with the Schema name; i.e. B2BOWNER.F_SSC_Page_Map_Insert.

I did not realize this until the DBAs pointed it out. I could have created the table under my root USER/SCHEMA and the PL/SQL function would have worked fine.

Ruby class instance variable vs. class variable

Source

Availability to instance methods

  • Class instance variables are available only to class methods and not to instance methods.
  • Class variables are available to both instance methods and class methods.

Inheritability

  • Class instance variables are lost in the inheritance chain.
  • Class variables are not.
class Vars

  @class_ins_var = "class instance variable value"  #class instance variable
  @@class_var = "class variable value" #class  variable

  def self.class_method
    puts @class_ins_var
    puts @@class_var
  end

  def instance_method
    puts @class_ins_var
    puts @@class_var
  end
end

Vars.class_method

puts "see the difference"

obj = Vars.new

obj.instance_method

class VarsChild < Vars


end

VarsChild.class_method

Google maps Marker Label with multiple characters

As of API version 3.26.10, you can set the marker label with more than one characters. The restriction is lifted.

Try it, it works!

Moreover, using a MarkerLabel object instead of just a string, you can set a number of properties for the appearance, and if using a custom Icon you can set the labelOrigin property to reposition the label.

Reading a huge .csv file

what worked for me was and is superfast is

import pandas as pd
import dask.dataframe as dd
import time
t=time.clock()
df_train = dd.read_csv('../data/train.csv', usecols=[col1, col2])
df_train=df_train.compute()
print("load train: " , time.clock()-t)

Another working solution is:

import pandas as pd 
from tqdm import tqdm

PATH = '../data/train.csv'
chunksize = 500000 
traintypes = {
'col1':'category',
'col2':'str'}

cols = list(traintypes.keys())

df_list = [] # list to hold the batch dataframe

for df_chunk in tqdm(pd.read_csv(PATH, usecols=cols, dtype=traintypes, chunksize=chunksize)):
    # Can process each chunk of dataframe here
    # clean_data(), feature_engineer(),fit()

    # Alternatively, append the chunk to list and merge all
    df_list.append(df_chunk) 

# Merge all dataframes into one dataframe
X = pd.concat(df_list)

# Delete the dataframe list to release memory
del df_list
del df_chunk

For each row return the column name of the largest value

A simple for loop can also be handy:

> df<-data.frame(V1=c(2,8,1),V2=c(7,3,5),V3=c(9,6,4))
> df
  V1 V2 V3
1  2  7  9
2  8  3  6
3  1  5  4
> df2<-data.frame()
> for (i in 1:nrow(df)){
+   df2[i,1]<-colnames(df[which.max(df[i,])])
+ }
> df2
  V1
1 V3
2 V1
3 V2

Creating object with dynamic keys

You can't define an object literal with a dynamic key. Do this :

var o = {};
o[key] = value;
return o;

There's no shortcut (edit: there's one now, with ES6, see the other answer).

How to revert a "git rm -r ."?

Update:

Since git rm . deletes all files in this and child directories in the working checkout as well as in the index, you need to undo each of these changes:

git reset HEAD . # This undoes the index changes
git checkout .   # This checks out files in this and child directories from the HEAD

This should do what you want. It does not affect parent folders of your checked-out code or index.


Old answer that wasn't:

reset HEAD

will do the trick, and will not erase any uncommitted changes you have made to your files.

after that you need to repeat any git add commands you had queued up.

Iptables setting multiple multiports in one rule

You need to use multiple rules to implement OR-like semantics, since matches are always AND-ed together within a rule. Alternatively, you can do matching against port-indexing ipsets (ipset create blah bitmap:port).

Load image from url

Try this add picasso lib jar file

Picasso.with(context)
                .load(ImageURL)
                .resize(width,height).noFade().into(imageView);

What is the best way to implement constants in Java?

I wouldn't call the class the same (aside from casing) as the constant ... I would have at a minimum one class of "Settings", or "Values", or "Constants", where all the constants would live. If I have a large number of them, I'd group them up in logical constant classes (UserSettings, AppSettings, etc.)

Remove values from select list based on condition

If you are using JQuery, it goes as follows:

Give an ID to your SELECT

<select name="val" size="1" id="val">
<option value="A">Apple</option>
<option value="C">Cars</option>
<option value="H">Honda</option>
<option value="F">Fiat</option>
<option value="I">Indigo</option>                    
</select>

$("#val option[value='A'],#val option[value='C']").remove();

What does "opt" mean (as in the "opt" directory)? Is it an abbreviation?

It is an abbreviation for 'optional' , used for optional software in some distros.

Return anonymous type results?

Well, if you're returning Dogs, you'd do:

public IQueryable<Dog> GetDogsWithBreedNames()
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    return from d in db.Dogs
           join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
           select d;
}

If you want the Breed eager-loaded and not lazy-loaded, just use the appropriate DataLoadOptions construct.

How to display loading message when an iFrame is loading?

You can use below code .

 iframe {background:url(../images/loader.gif) center center no-repeat; height: 100%;}

What is "pass-through authentication" in IIS 7?

Normally, IIS would use the process identity (the user account it is running the worker process as) to access protected resources like file system or network.

With passthrough authentication, IIS will attempt to use the actual identity of the user when accessing protected resources.

If the user is not authenticated, IIS will use the application pool identity instead. If pool identity is set to NetworkService or LocalSystem, the actual Windows account used is the computer account.

The IIS warning you see is not an error, it's just a warning. The actual check will be performed at execution time, and if it fails, it'll show up in the log.

Hadoop "Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform" warning

For installing Hadoop it is soooooo much easier installing the free version from Cloudera. It comes with a nice GUI that makes it simple to add nodes, there is no compiling or stuffing around with dependencies, it comes with stuff like hive, pig etc.

http://www.cloudera.com/content/support/en/downloads.html

Steps are: 1) Download 2) Run it 3) Go to web GUI (1.2.3.4:7180) 4) Add extra nodes in the web gui (do NOT install the cloudera software on other nodes, it does it all for you) 5) Within the web GUI go to Home, click Hue and Hue Web UI. This gives you access to Hive, Pig, Sqoop etc.

ArrayList vs List<> in C#

To add to the above points. Using ArrayList in 64bit operating system takes 2x memory than using in the 32bit operating system. Meanwhile, generic list List<T> will use much low memory than the ArrayList.

for example if we use a ArrayList of 19MB in 32-bit it would take 39MB in the 64-bit. But if you have a generic list List<int> of 8MB in 32-bit it would take only 8.1MB in 64-bit, which is a whooping 481% difference when compared to ArrayList.

How can I use grep to find a word inside a folder?

Don't use grep. Download Silver Searcher or ripgrep. They're both outstanding, and way faster than grep or ack with tons of options.

More elegant "ps aux | grep -v grep"

You could use preg_split instead of explode and split on [ ]+ (one or more spaces). But I think in this case you could go with preg_match_all and capturing:

preg_match_all('/[ ]php[ ]+\S+[ ]+(\S+)/', $input, $matches);
$result = $matches[1];

The pattern matches a space, php, more spaces, a string of non-spaces (the path), more spaces, and then captures the next string of non-spaces. The first space is mostly to ensure that you don't match php as part of a user name but really only as a command.

An alternative to capturing is the "keep" feature of PCRE. If you use \K in the pattern, everything before it is discarded in the match:

preg_match_all('/[ ]php[ ]+\S+[ ]+\K\S+/', $input, $matches);
$result = $matches[0];

I would use preg_match(). I do something similar for many of my system management scripts. Here is an example:

$test = "user     12052  0.2  0.1 137184 13056 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust1 cron
user     12054  0.2  0.1 137184 13064 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust3 cron
user     12055  0.6  0.1 137844 14220 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust4 cron
user     12057  0.2  0.1 137184 13052 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust89 cron
user     12058  0.2  0.1 137184 13052 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust435 cron
user     12059  0.3  0.1 135112 13000 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust16 cron
root     12068  0.0  0.0 106088  1164 pts/1    S+   10:00   0:00 sh -c ps aux | grep utilities > /home/user/public_html/logs/dashboard/currentlyPosting.txt
root     12070  0.0  0.0 103240   828 pts/1    R+   10:00   0:00 grep utilities";

$lines = explode("\n", $test);

foreach($lines as $line){
        if(preg_match("/.php[\s+](cust[\d]+)[\s+]cron/i", $line, $matches)){
                print_r($matches);
        }

}

The above prints:

Array
(
    [0] => .php cust1 cron
    [1] => cust1
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust3 cron
    [1] => cust3
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust4 cron
    [1] => cust4
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust89 cron
    [1] => cust89
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust435 cron
    [1] => cust435
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust16 cron
    [1] => cust16
)

You can set $test to equal the output from exec. the values you are looking for would be in the if statement under the foreach. $matches[1] will have the custx value.

Escape double quotes in Java

Use Java's replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)

For example, Use a substitution char for the quotes and then replace that char with \"

String newstring = String.replaceAll("%","\"");

or replace all instances of \" with \\\"

String newstring = String.replaceAll("\"","\\\"");

Show and hide a View with a slide up/down animation

Now visibility change animations should be done via Transition API which available in support (androidx) package. Just call TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition method with Slide transition then change visibility of the view.

enter image description here

import androidx.transition.Slide;
import androidx.transition.Transition;
import androidx.transition.TransitionManager;

private void toggle(boolean show) {
    View redLayout = findViewById(R.id.redLayout);
    ViewGroup parent = findViewById(R.id.parent);

    Transition transition = new Slide(Gravity.BOTTOM);
    transition.setDuration(600);
    transition.addTarget(R.id.redLayout);

    TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(parent, transition);
    redLayout.setVisibility(show ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);
}

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="play" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/redLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="400dp"
        android:background="#5f00"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

How to find all duplicate from a List<string>?

For what it's worth, here is my way:

List<string> list = new List<string>(new string[] { "cat", "Dog", "parrot", "dog", "parrot", "goat", "parrot", "horse", "goat" });
Dictionary<string, int> wordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();

//count them all:
list.ForEach(word =>
{
    string key = word.ToLower();
    if (!wordCount.ContainsKey(key))
        wordCount.Add(key, 0);
    wordCount[key]++;
});

//remove words appearing only once:
wordCount.Keys.ToList().FindAll(word => wordCount[word] == 1).ForEach(key => wordCount.Remove(key));

Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Found {0} duplicates in the list:", wordCount.Count));
wordCount.Keys.ToList().ForEach(key => Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} appears {1} times", key, wordCount[key])));

Export database schema into SQL file

Function return value in PowerShell

It's hard to say without looking at at code. Make sure your function doesn't return more than one object and that you capture any results made from other calls. What do you get for:

@($returnURL).count

Anyway, two suggestions:

Cast the object to string:

...
return [string]$rs

Or just enclose it in double quotes, same as above but shorter to type:

...
return "$rs"

Using group by on multiple columns

Here I am going to explain not only the GROUP clause use, but also the Aggregate functions use.

The GROUP BY clause is used in conjunction with the aggregate functions to group the result-set by one or more columns. e.g.:

-- GROUP BY with one parameter:
SELECT column_name, AGGREGATE_FUNCTION(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator value
GROUP BY column_name;

-- GROUP BY with two parameters:
SELECT
    column_name1,
    column_name2,
    AGGREGATE_FUNCTION(column_name3)
FROM
    table_name
GROUP BY
    column_name1,
    column_name2;

Remember this order:

  1. SELECT (is used to select data from a database)

  2. FROM (clause is used to list the tables)

  3. WHERE (clause is used to filter records)

  4. GROUP BY (clause can be used in a SELECT statement to collect data across multiple records and group the results by one or more columns)

  5. HAVING (clause is used in combination with the GROUP BY clause to restrict the groups of returned rows to only those whose the condition is TRUE)

  6. ORDER BY (keyword is used to sort the result-set)

You can use all of these if you are using aggregate functions, and this is the order that they must be set, otherwise you can get an error.

Aggregate Functions are:

MIN() returns the smallest value in a given column

MAX() returns the maximum value in a given column.

SUM() returns the sum of the numeric values in a given column

AVG() returns the average value of a given column

COUNT() returns the total number of values in a given column

COUNT(*) returns the number of rows in a table

SQL script examples about using aggregate functions:

Let's say we need to find the sale orders whose total sale is greater than $950. We combine the HAVING clause and the GROUP BY clause to accomplish this:

SELECT 
    orderId, SUM(unitPrice * qty) Total
FROM
    OrderDetails
GROUP BY orderId
HAVING Total > 950;

Counting all orders and grouping them customerID and sorting the result ascendant. We combine the COUNT function and the GROUP BY, ORDER BY clauses and ASC:

SELECT 
    customerId, COUNT(*)
FROM
    Orders
GROUP BY customerId
ORDER BY COUNT(*) ASC;

Retrieve the category that has an average Unit Price greater than $10, using AVG function combine with GROUP BY and HAVING clauses:

SELECT 
    categoryName, AVG(unitPrice)
FROM
    Products p
INNER JOIN
    Categories c ON c.categoryId = p.categoryId
GROUP BY categoryName
HAVING AVG(unitPrice) > 10;

Getting the less expensive product by each category, using the MIN function in a subquery:

SELECT categoryId,
       productId,
       productName,
       unitPrice
FROM Products p1
WHERE unitPrice = (
                SELECT MIN(unitPrice)
                FROM Products p2
                WHERE p2.categoryId = p1.categoryId)

The following statement groups rows with the same values in both categoryId and productId columns:

SELECT 
    categoryId, categoryName, productId, SUM(unitPrice)
FROM
    Products p
INNER JOIN
    Categories c ON c.categoryId = p.categoryId
GROUP BY categoryId, productId

How to stop app that node.js express 'npm start'

If you've already tried ctrl + c and it still doesn't work, you might want to try this. This has worked for me.

  1. Run command-line as an Administrator. Then run the command below to find the processID (PID) you want to kill. Type your port number in <yourPortNumber>

    netstat -ano | findstr :<yourPortNumber>

enter image description here

  1. Then you execute this command after you have identified the PID.

    taskkill /PID <typeYourPIDhere> /F

enter image description here

How can I handle the warning of file_get_contents() function in PHP?

Step 1: check the return code: if($content === FALSE) { // handle error here... }

Step 2: suppress the warning by putting an error control operator (i.e. @) in front of the call to file_get_contents(): $content = @file_get_contents($site);

How to use an output parameter in Java?

Java does not support output parameters. You can use a return value, or pass in an object as a parameter and modify the object.

push() a two-dimensional array

Create am array and put inside the first, in this case i get data from JSON response

$.getJSON('/Tool/GetAllActiviesStatus/',
   var dataFC = new Array();
   function (data) {
      for (var i = 0; i < data.Result.length; i++) {
          var serie = new Array(data.Result[i].FUNCAO, data.Result[i].QT, true, true);
          dataFC.push(serie);
       });

How can I solve ORA-00911: invalid character error?

The statement you're executing is valid. The error seems to mean that Toad is including the trailing semicolon as part of the command, which does cause an ORA-00911 when it's included as part of a statement - since it is a statement separator in the client, not part of the statement itself.

It may be the following commented-out line that is confusing Toad (as described here); or it might be because you're trying to run everything as a single statement, in which case you can try to use the run script command (F9) instead of run statement (F5).

Just removing the commented-out line makes the problem go away, but if you also saw this with an actual commit then it's likely to be that you're using the wrong method to run the statements.

There is a bit more information about how Toad parses the semicolons in a comment on this related question, but I'm not familiar enough with Toad to go into more detail.

Writing a dictionary to a csv file with one line for every 'key: value'

Easiest way is to ignore the csv module and format it yourself.

    [f.write('{0},{1}\n'.format(key, value)) for key, value in my_dict.items()]

How to convert JSON data into a Python object

If you are using python 3.6+, you can use marshmallow-dataclass. Contrarily to all the solutions listed above, it is both simple, and type safe:

from marshmallow_dataclass import dataclass

@dataclass
class User:
    name: str

user = User.Schema().load({"name": "Ramirez"})

Convert array of indices to 1-hot encoded numpy array

You can use sklearn.preprocessing.LabelBinarizer:

Example:

import sklearn.preprocessing
a = [1,0,3]
label_binarizer = sklearn.preprocessing.LabelBinarizer()
label_binarizer.fit(range(max(a)+1))
b = label_binarizer.transform(a)
print('{0}'.format(b))

output:

[[0 1 0 0]
 [1 0 0 0]
 [0 0 0 1]]

Amongst other things, you may initialize sklearn.preprocessing.LabelBinarizer() so that the output of transform is sparse.

How do I fix 'ImportError: cannot import name IncompleteRead'?

Mongod complains that there is no /data/db folder

I had this problem with an existing Mongodb setup. I'm still not sure why it happened, but for some reason the Mongod process couldn't find the mongod.config file. Because it could not find the config file it tried to find the DB files in /data/db, a folder that didn't exist. However, the config file was still available so I made sure the process has permissions to the config file and run the mongod process with the --config flag as follows:

mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf

In the config file itself I had this setting:

storage:
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb

And this is how the process could find the real DB folder again.

Difference between Java SE/EE/ME?

According to the Oracle's documentation, there are actually four Java platforms:

  • Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE)
  • Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
  • Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME)
  • JavaFX

Java SE is for developing desktop applications and it is the foundation for developing in Java language. It consists of development tools, deployment technologies, and other class libraries and toolkits used in Java applications. Java EE is built on top of Java SE, and it is used for developing web applications and large-scale enterprise applications. Java ME is a subset of the Java SE. It provides an API and a small-footprint virtual machine for running Java applications on small devices. JavaFX is a platform for creating rich internet applications using a lightweight user-interface API. It is a recent addition to the family of Java platforms.

Strictly speaking, these platforms are specifications; they are norms, not software. The Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK) is an official implementation of the Java SE specification, provided by Oracle. There are also other implementations, like OpenJDK and IBM's J9.

People new to Java download a JDK for their platform and operating system (Oracle's JDK is available for download here.)

How to install trusted CA certificate on Android device?

Prior to Android KitKat you have to root your device to install new certificates.

From Android KitKat (4.0) up to Nougat (7.0) it's possible and easy. I was able to install the Charles Web Debbuging Proxy cert on my un-rooted device and successfully sniff SSL traffic.

Extract from http://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/ImportRootCert

Before Android version 4.0, with Android version Gingerbread & Froyo, there was a single read-only file ( /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks ) containing the trust store with all the CA ('system') certificates trusted by default on Android. Both system apps and all applications developed with the Android SDK use this. Use these instructions on installing CAcert certificates on Android Gingerbread, Froyo, ...

Starting from Android 4.0 (Android ICS/'Ice Cream Sandwich', Android 4.3 'Jelly Bean' & Android 4.4 'KitKat'), system trusted certificates are on the (read-only) system partition in the folder '/system/etc/security/' as individual files. However, users can now easily add their own 'user' certificates which will be stored in '/data/misc/keychain/certs-added'.

System-installed certificates can be managed on the Android device in the Settings -> Security -> Certificates -> 'System'-section, whereas the user trusted certificates are manged in the 'User'-section there. When using user trusted certificates, Android will force the user of the Android device to implement additional safety measures: the use of a PIN-code, a pattern-lock or a password to unlock the device are mandatory when user-supplied certificates are used.

Installing CAcert certificates as 'user trusted'-certificates is very easy. Installing new certificates as 'system trusted'-certificates requires more work (and requires root access), but it has the advantage of avoiding the Android lockscreen requirement.

From Android N onwards it gets a littler harder, see this extract from the Charles proxy website:

As of Android N, you need to add configuration to your app in order to have it trust the SSL certificates generated by Charles SSL Proxying. This means that you can only use SSL Proxying with apps that you control.

In order to configure your app to trust Charles, you need to add a Network Security Configuration File to your app. This file can override the system default, enabling your app to trust user installed CA certificates (e.g. the Charles Root Certificate). You can specify that this only applies in debug builds of your application, so that production builds use the default trust profile.

Add a file res/xml/network_security_config.xml to your app:

<network-security-config>    
    <debug-overrides> 
        <trust-anchors> 
            <!-- Trust user added CAs while debuggable only -->
            <certificates src="user" /> 
        </trust-anchors>    
    </debug-overrides>  
</network-security-config>

Then add a reference to this file in your app's manifest, as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<manifest>
    <application android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config">
    </application> 
</manifest>

Using number_format method in Laravel

If you are using Eloquent, in your model put:

public function getPriceAttribute($price)
{
    return $this->attributes['price'] = sprintf('U$ %s', number_format($price, 2));
}

Where getPriceAttribute is your field on database. getSomethingAttribute.

Is it a bad practice to use an if-statement without curly braces?

I have always tried to make my code standard and look as close to the same as possible. This makes it easier for others to read it when they are in charge of updating it. If you do your first example and add a line to it in the middle it will fail.

Won't work:

if(statement) do this; and this; else do this;

Allow all remote connections, MySQL

Install and setup mysql to connect from anywhere remotely DOES NOT WORK WITH mysql_secure_installation ! (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-secure-installation.html)

On Ubuntu, Install mysql using:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Have just the below in /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[mysqld]
#### Unix socket settings (making localhost work)
user            = mysql
pid-file        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

#### TCP Socket settings (making all remote logins work)
port            = 3306
bind-address = 0.0.0.0

Login into DB from server using

mysql -u root -p

Create DB user using the below statement

grant all privileges on *.* to ‘username’@‘%’ identified by ‘password’;

Open firewall:

sudo ufw allow 3306

Restart mysql

sudo service mysql restart

Prevent redirect after form is submitted

Just like Bruce Armstrong suggested in his answer. However I'd use FormData:

$(function() {
    $('form').submit(function() {
        var formData = new FormData($(this)[0]);
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'submit.php',
            data: formData,
            processData: false,
            contentType: false,
        });
        return false;
    }); 
})

WHERE Col1 like '%[^a-Z0-9]%'

Which says that you want any rows where Col1 consists of any number of characters, then one character not in the set a-Z0-9, and then any number of characters.

If you have a case sensitive collation, it's important that you use a range that includes both upper and lower case A, a, Z and z, which is what I've given (originally I had it the wrong way around. a comes before A. Z comes after z)


Or, to put it another way, you could have written your original WHERE as:

Col1 LIKE '[!@#$%]'

But, as you observed, you'd need to know all of the characters to include in the [].

Get properties of a class

This TypeScript code

class A {
    private a1;
    public a2;
}

compiles to this JavaScript code

class A {
}

That's because properties in JavaScript start extisting only after they have some value. You have to assign the properties some value.

class A {
    private a1 = "";
    public a2 = "";
}

it compiles to

class A {
    constructor() {
        this.a1 = "";
        this.a2 = "";
    }
}

Still, you cannot get the properties from mere class (you can get only methods from prototype). You must create an instance. Then you get the properties by calling Object.getOwnPropertyNames().

let a = new A();
let array = return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(a);

array[0] === "a1";
array[1] === "a2";

Applied to your example

class Describer {
    static describe(instance): Array<string> {
        return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(instance);
    }
}

let a = new A();
let x = Describer.describe(a);

How to find MAC address of an Android device programmatically

With this code you will be also able to get MacAddress in Android 6.0 also

public static String getMacAddr() {
    try {
        List <NetworkInterface> all = Collections.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
        for (NetworkInterface nif: all) {
            if (!nif.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("wlan0")) continue;

            byte[] macBytes = nif.getHardwareAddress();
            if (macBytes == null) {
                return "";
            }

            StringBuilder res1 = new StringBuilder();
            for (byte b: macBytes) {
                //res1.append(Integer.toHexString(b & 0xFF) + ":");
                res1.append(String.format("%02X:", b));
            }

            if (res1.length() > 0) {
                res1.deleteCharAt(res1.length() - 1);
            }
            return res1.toString();
        }
    } catch (Exception ex) {}
    return "02:00:00:00:00:00";
}

EDIT 1. This answer got a bug where a byte that in hex form got a single digit, will not appear with a "0" before it. The append to res1 has been changed to take care of it.

Java program to get the current date without timestamp

You could use

// Format a string containing a date.
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import static java.util.Calendar.*;

Calendar c = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
String s = String.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c);
// -> s == "Duke's Birthday: May 23, 1995"

Have a look at the Formatter API documentation.

How to get share counts using graph API

UPDATE - April '15:

If you want to get the count that is available in the Like button, you should use the engagement field in the og_object object, like so:

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/?id=http://www.MY-LINK.com&fields=og_object{engagement}&access_token=<access_token>

Result:

{
  "og_object": {
    "engagement": {
      "count": 93, 
      "social_sentence": "93 people like this."
    }, 
    "id": "801998203216179"
  }, 
  "id": "http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/06/they-should-have-announced-at-420/"
}

It's possible with the Graph API, simply use:

http://graph.facebook.com/?id=YOUR_URL

something like:

http://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://www.google.com

Would return:

{
   "id": "http://www.google.com",
   "shares": 1163912
}

UPDATE: while the above would answer how to get the share count. This number is not equal to the one you see on the Like Button, since that number is the sum of:

  • The number of likes of this URL
  • The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
  • The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
  • The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment.

So getting the Like Button number is possible with the Graph API through the fql end-point (the link_stat table):

https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT url, normalized_url, share_count, like_count, comment_count, total_count,commentsbox_count, comments_fbid, click_count FROM link_stat WHERE url='http://www.google.com'

total_count is the number that shows in the Like Button.

how to load CSS file into jsp

I had the same problem too. Then i realized that in the MainPageServlet the urlPatterns parameter in @WebServlet annotation contained "/", because i wanted to forward to the MainPage if the user entered the section www.site.com/ . When i tried to open the css file from the browser, the url was www.site.com/css/desktop.css, but the page content was THE PAGE MainPage.jsp. So, i removed the "/" urlPattern and now i can use CSS files in my jsp file using one of the most common solutions (${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/desktop.css). Make sure your servlet doesn't contain the "/" urlPattern. I hope this worked for u too, - Axel Montini

Reading a text file using OpenFileDialog in windows forms

for this approach, you will need to add system.IO to your references by adding the next line of code below the other references near the top of the c# file(where the other using ****.** stand).

using System.IO;

this next code contains 2 methods of reading the text, the first will read single lines and stores them in a string variable, the second one reads the whole text and saves it in a string variable(including "\n" (enters))

both should be quite easy to understand and use.


    string pathToFile = "";//to save the location of the selected object
    private void openToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog theDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
        theDialog.Title = "Open Text File";
        theDialog.Filter = "TXT files|*.txt";
        theDialog.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
        if (theDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(theDialog.FileName.ToString());
            pathToFile = theDialog.FileName;//doesn't need .tostring because .filename returns a string// saves the location of the selected object

        }

        if (File.Exists(pathToFile))// only executes if the file at pathtofile exists//you need to add the using System.IO reference at the top of te code to use this
        {
            //method1
            string firstLine = File.ReadAllLines(pathToFile).Skip(0).Take(1).First();//selects first line of the file
            string secondLine = File.ReadAllLines(pathToFile).Skip(1).Take(1).First();

            //method2
            string text = "";
            using(StreamReader sr =new StreamReader(pathToFile))
            {
                text = sr.ReadToEnd();//all text wil be saved in text enters are also saved
            }
        }
    }

To split the text you can use .Split(" ") and use a loop to put the name back into one string. if you don't want to use .Split() then you could also use foreach and ad an if statement to split it where needed.


to add the data to your class you can use the constructor to add the data like:

  public Employee(int EMPLOYEENUM, string NAME, string ADRESS, double WAGE, double HOURS)
        {
            EmployeeNum = EMPLOYEENUM;
            Name = NAME;
            Address = ADRESS;
            Wage = WAGE;
            Hours = HOURS;
        }

or you can add it using the set by typing .variablename after the name of the instance(if they are public and have a set this will work). to read the data you can use the get by typing .variablename after the name of the instance(if they are public and have a get this will work).

How long will my session last?

If session.cookie_lifetime is 0, the session cookie lives until the browser is quit.

EDIT: Others have mentioned the session.gc_maxlifetime setting. When session garbage collection occurs, the garbage collector will delete any session data that has not been accessed in longer than session.gc_maxlifetime seconds. To set the time-to-live for the session cookie, call session_set_cookie_params() or define the session.cookie_lifetime PHP setting. If this setting is greater than session.gc_maxlifetime, you should increase session.gc_maxlifetime to a value greater than or equal to the cookie lifetime to ensure that your sessions won't expire.

How do I specify the exit code of a console application in .NET?

The enumeration option is excellent however can be improved upon by multiplying the numbers as in:

enum ExitCodes : int
{
  Success = 0,
  SignToolNotInPath = 1,
  AssemblyDirectoryBad = 2,
  PFXFilePathBad = 4,
  PasswordMissing = 8,
  SignFailed = 16,
  UnknownError = 32
}

In the case of multiple errors, adding the specific error numbers together will give you a unique number that will represent the combination of detected errors.

For example, an errorlevel of 6 can only consist of errors 4 and 2, 12 can only consist of errors 4 and 8, 14 can only consist of 2, 4 and 8 etc.

How to make java delay for a few seconds?

You need to use the Thread.sleep() method.

This is used to pause the execution of current thread for specified time in milliseconds. The argument value for milliseconds can’t be negative, else it throws IllegalArgumentException.

FYI (Summary taken from here)

Java Thread Sleep important points

  • It always pause the current thread execution.
  • Thread sleep doesn’t lose any monitors or locks current thread has acquired.
  • Any other thread can interrupt the current thread in sleep, in that case InterruptedException is thrown.

querySelector and querySelectorAll vs getElementsByClassName and getElementById in JavaScript

For this answer, I refer to querySelector and querySelectorAll as querySelector* and to getElementById, getElementsByClassName, getElementsByTagName, and getElementsByName as getElement*.

Main Differences

  1. querySelector* is more flexible, as you can pass it any CSS3 selector, not just simple ones for id, tag, or class.
  2. The performance of querySelector changes with the size of the DOM that it is invoked on.* To be precise, querySelector* calls run in O(n) time and getElement* calls run in O(1) time, where n is the total number of all children of the element or document it is invoked on. This fact seems to be the least well-known, so I am bolding it.
  3. getElement* calls return direct references to the DOM, whereas querySelector* internally makes copies of the selected elements before returning references to them. These are referred to as "live" and "static" elements respectively. This is NOT strictly related to the types that they return. There is no way I know of to tell if an element is live or static programmatically, as it depends on whether the element was copied at some point, and is not an intrinsic property of the data. Changes to live elements apply immediately - changing a live element changes it directly in the DOM, and therefore the very next line of JS can see that change, and it propagates to any other live elements referencing that element immediately. Changes to static elements are only written back to the DOM after the current script is done executing. These extra copy and write steps have some small, and generally negligible, effect on performance.
  4. The return types of these calls vary. querySelector and getElementById both return a single element. querySelectorAll and getElementsByName both return NodeLists, being newer functions that were added after HTMLCollection went out of fashion. The older getElementsByClassName and getElementsByTagName both return HTMLCollections. Again, this is essentially irrelevant to whether the elements are live or static.

These concepts are summarized in the following table.

Function               | Live? | Type           | Time Complexity
querySelector          |   N   | Element        |  O(n)
querySelectorAll       |   N   | NodeList       |  O(n)
getElementById         |   Y   | Element        |  O(1)
getElementsByClassName |   Y   | HTMLCollection |  O(1)
getElementsByTagName   |   Y   | HTMLCollection |  O(1)
getElementsByName      |   Y   | NodeList       |  O(1)

Details, Tips, and Examples

  • HTMLCollections are not as array-like as NodeLists and do not support .forEach(). I find the spread operator useful to work around this:

    [...document.getElementsByClassName("someClass")].forEach()

  • Every element, and the global document, have access to all of these functions except for getElementById and getElementsByName, which are only implemented on document.

  • Chaining getElement* calls instead of using querySelector* will improve performance, especially on very large DOMs. Even on small DOMs and/or with very long chains, it is generally faster. However, unless you know you need the performance, the readability of querySelector* should be preferred. querySelectorAll is often harder to rewrite, because you must select elements from the NodeList or HTMLCollection at every step. For example, the following code does not work:

    document.getElementsByClassName("someClass").getElementsByTagName("div")

    because you can only use getElements* on single elements, not collections. For example:

    document.querySelector("#someId .someClass div")

    could be written as:

    document.getElementById("someId").getElementsByClassName("someClass")[0].getElementsByTagName("div")[0]

    Note the use of [0] to get just the first element of the collection at each step that returns a collection, resulting in one element at the end just like with querySelector.

  • Since all elements have access to both querySelector* and getElement* calls, you can make chains using both calls, which can be useful if you want some performance gain, but cannot avoid a querySelector that can not be written in terms of the getElement* calls.

  • Though it is generally easy to tell if a selector can be written using only getElement* calls, there is one case that may not be obvious:

    document.querySelectorAll(".class1.class2")

    can be rewritten as

    document.getElementsByClassName("class1 class2")

  • Using getElement* on a static element fetched with querySelector* will result in an element that is live with respect to the static subset of the DOM copied by querySelector, but not live with respect to the full document DOM... this is where the simple live/static interpretation of elements begins to fall apart. You should probably avoid situations where you have to worry about this, but if you do, remember that querySelector* calls copy elements they find before returning references to them, but getElement* calls fetch direct references without copying.

  • Neither API specifies which element should be selected first if there are multiple matches.

  • Because querySelector* iterates through the DOM until it finds a match (see Main Difference #2), the above also implies that you cannot rely on the position of an element you are looking for in the DOM to guarantee that it is found quickly - the browser may iterate through the DOM backwards, forwards, depth first, breadth first, or otherwise. getElement* will still find elements in roughly the same amount of time regardless of their placement.

How to implement "confirmation" dialog in Jquery UI dialog?

I know this is an old question but here is my solution using HTML5 data attributes in MVC4:

</div>

JS code:

$("#dialog").dialog({
    modal: true,              
    autoOpen: false,
    buttons: {
        "Confirm": function () {
            window.location.href = $(this).data('url');
        },
        "Cancel": function () {
            $(this).dialog("close");
        }
    }
});

Is there a Subversion command to reset the working copy?

Delete everything inside your local copy using:

rm -r your_local_svn_dir_path/*

And the revert everything recursively using the below command.

svn revert -R your_local_svn_dir_path

This is way faster than deleting the entire directory and then taking a fresh checkout, because the files are being restored from you local SVN meta data. It doesn't even need a network connection.

Promise Factory is just simple function that returns a Promise:

function myPromiseFactory() {
    return somethingThatCreatesAPromise();
}

It works because a promise factory doesn't create the promise until it's asked to. It works the same way as a then function – in fact, it's the same thing!

You don't want to operate over an array of promises at all. Per the Promise spec, as soon as a promise is created, it begins executing. So what you really want is an array of promise factories...

How to detect chrome and safari browser (webkit)

I am trying to detect the chrome and safari browser using jquery or javascript.

Use jQuery.browser

I thought we are not supposed to use jQuery.browser.

That's because detecting browsers is a bad idea. It is still the best way to detect the browser (when jQuery is involved) if you really intend to do that.

Determine number of pages in a PDF file

I've used the code above that solves the problem using regex and it works, but it's quite slow. It reads the entire file to determine the number of pages.

I used it in a web app and pages would sometimes list 20 or 30 PDFs at a time and in that circumstance the load time for the page went from a couple seconds to almost a minute due to the page counting method.

I don't know if the 3rd party libraries are much better, I would hope that they are and I've used pdflib in other scenarios with success.

CodeIgniter - File upload required validation

you can use call back function, like this

  $this->form_validation->set_rules('userfile', 'Document', 'callback_file_selected_test');

    if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
         //error
     }
    else{
           // success       
      }

function file_selected_test(){

    $this->form_validation->set_message('file_selected_test', 'Please select file.');
    if (empty($_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
            return false;
        }else{
            return true;
        }
}

How to clone ArrayList and also clone its contents?

I have found a way, you can use json to serialize/unserialize the list. The serialized list holds no reference to the original object when unserialized.

Using gson:

List<CategoryModel> originalList = new ArrayList<>(); // add some items later
String listAsJson = gson.toJson(originalList);
List<CategoryModel> newList = new Gson().fromJson(listAsJson, new TypeToken<List<CategoryModel>>() {}.getType());

You can do that using jackson and any other json library too.

How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page?

jQuery CROSS BROWSER CUSTOM PLUGIN - $.footerBottom()

Or use jQuery like I do, and set your footer height to auto or to fix, whatever you like, it will work anyway. this plugin uses jQuery selectors so to make it work, you will have to include the jQuery library to your file.

Here is how you run the plugin. Import jQuery, copy the code of this custom jQuery plugin and import it after importing jQuery! It is very simple and basic, but important.

When you do it, all you have to do is run this code:

$.footerBottom({target:"footer"}); //as html5 tag <footer>.
// You can change it to your preferred "div" with for example class "footer" 
// by setting target to {target:"div.footer"}

there is no need to place it inside the document ready event. It will run well as it is. It will recalculate the position of your footer when the page is loaded and when the window get resized.

Here is the code of the plugin which you do not have to understand. Just know how to implement it. It does the job for you. However, if you like to know how it works, just look through the code. I left comments for you.

How to print the current Stack Trace in .NET without any exception?

Have a look at the System.Diagnostics namespace. Lots of goodies in there!

System.Diagnostics.StackTrace t = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace();

This is really good to have a poke around in to learn whats going on under the hood.

I'd recommend that you have a look into logging solutions (Such as NLog, log4net or the Microsoft patterns and practices Enterprise Library) which may achieve your purposes and then some. Good luck mate!

How do I get Month and Date of JavaScript in 2 digit format?

This was my solution:

function leadingZero(value) {
  if (value < 10) {
    return "0" + value.toString();
  }
  return value.toString();
}

var targetDate = new Date();
targetDate.setDate(targetDate.getDate());
var dd = targetDate.getDate();
var mm = targetDate.getMonth() + 1;
var yyyy = targetDate.getFullYear();
var dateCurrent = leadingZero(mm) + "/" + leadingZero(dd) + "/" + yyyy;

How to return multiple values?

You can return an object of a Class in Java.

If you are returning more than 1 value that are related, then it makes sense to encapsulate them into a class and then return an object of that class.

If you want to return unrelated values, then you can use Java's built-in container classes like Map, List, Set etc. Check the java.util package's JavaDoc for more details.

Redirecting exec output to a buffer or file

Since you look like you're going to be using this in a linux/cygwin environment, you want to use popen. It's like opening a file, only you'll get the executing programs stdout, so you can use your normal fscanf, fread etc.

how to avoid a new line with p tag?

Disable-web-security in Chrome 48+

As of the date of this answer (March 2020) there is a plugin for chrome called CORS unblock that allows you to skip that browser policy. The 'same origin policy' is an important security feature of browsers. Please only install this plugin for development or testing purposes. Do not promote its installation in end client browsers because you compromise the security of users and the chrome community will be forced to remove this plugin from the store.

Is there a NumPy function to return the first index of something in an array?

Yes, given an array, array, and a value, item to search for, you can use np.where as:

itemindex = numpy.where(array==item)

The result is a tuple with first all the row indices, then all the column indices.

For example, if an array is two dimensions and it contained your item at two locations then

array[itemindex[0][0]][itemindex[1][0]]

would be equal to your item and so would be:

array[itemindex[0][1]][itemindex[1][1]]

In-place edits with sed on OS X

The -i flag probably doesn't work for you, because you followed an example for GNU sed while macOS uses BSD sed and they have a slightly different syntax.

All the other answers tell you how to correct the syntax to work with BSD sed. The alternative is to install GNU sed on your macOS with:

brew install gsed

and then use it instead of the sed version shipped with macOS (note the g prefix), e.g:

gsed -i 's/oldword/newword/' file1.txt

If you want GNU sed commands to be always portable to your macOS, you could prepend "gnubin" directory to your path, by adding something like this to your .bashrc/.zshrc file (run brew info gsed to see what exactly you need to do):

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

and from then on the GNU sed becomes your default sed and you can simply run:

sed -i 's/oldword/newword/' file1.txt

Running code after Spring Boot starts

It is as simple as this:

@EventListener(ApplicationReadyEvent.class)
public void doSomethingAfterStartup() {
    System.out.println("hello world, I have just started up");
}

Tested on version 1.5.1.RELEASE

DataTrigger where value is NOT null?

You can use DataTrigger class in Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll that come with Expression Blend.

Code Sample:

<i:Interaction.Triggers>
    <i:DataTrigger Binding="{Binding YourProperty}" Value="{x:Null}" Comparison="NotEqual">
       <ie:ChangePropertyAction PropertyName="YourTargetPropertyName" Value="{Binding YourValue}"/>
    </i:DataTrigger
</i:Interaction.Triggers>

Using this method you can trigger against GreaterThan and LessThan too. In order to use this code you should reference two dll's:

System.Windows.Interactivity.dll

Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll

What is the difference between response.sendRedirect() and request.getRequestDispatcher().forward(request,response)

Simply difference between Forward(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) and sendRedirect(String url) is

forward():

  1. The forward() method is executed in the server side.
  2. The request is transfer to other resource within same server.
  3. It does not depend on the client’s request protocol since the forward () method is provided by the servlet container.
  4. The request is shared by the target resource.
  5. Only one call is consumed in this method.
  6. It can be used within server.
  7. We cannot see forwarded message, it is transparent.
  8. The forward() method is faster than sendRedirect() method.
  9. It is declared in RequestDispatcher interface.

sendRedirect():

  1. The sendRedirect() method is executed in the client side.
  2. The request is transfer to other resource to different server.
  3. The sendRedirect() method is provided under HTTP so it can be used only with HTTP clients.
  4. New request is created for the destination resource.
  5. Two request and response calls are consumed.
  6. It can be used within and outside the server.
  7. We can see redirected address, it is not transparent.
  8. The sendRedirect() method is slower because when new request is created old request object is lost.
  9. It is declared in HttpServletResponse.

What does jQuery.fn mean?

In jQuery, the fn property is just an alias to the prototype property.

The jQuery identifier (or $) is just a constructor function, and all instances created with it, inherit from the constructor's prototype.

A simple constructor function:

function Test() {
  this.a = 'a';
}
Test.prototype.b = 'b';

var test = new Test(); 
test.a; // "a", own property
test.b; // "b", inherited property

A simple structure that resembles the architecture of jQuery:

(function() {
  var foo = function(arg) { // core constructor
    // ensure to use the `new` operator
    if (!(this instanceof foo))
      return new foo(arg);
    // store an argument for this example
    this.myArg = arg;
    //..
  };

  // create `fn` alias to `prototype` property
  foo.fn = foo.prototype = {
    init: function () {/*...*/}
    //...
  };

  // expose the library
  window.foo = foo;
})();

// Extension:

foo.fn.myPlugin = function () {
  alert(this.myArg);
  return this; // return `this` for chainability
};

foo("bar").myPlugin(); // alerts "bar"

Python pandas: fill a dataframe row by row

df['y'] will set a column

since you want to set a row, use .loc

Note that .ix is equivalent here, yours failed because you tried to assign a dictionary to each element of the row y probably not what you want; converting to a Series tells pandas that you want to align the input (for example you then don't have to to specify all of the elements)

In [7]: df = pandas.DataFrame(columns=['a','b','c','d'], index=['x','y','z'])

In [8]: df.loc['y'] = pandas.Series({'a':1, 'b':5, 'c':2, 'd':3})

In [9]: df
Out[9]: 
     a    b    c    d
x  NaN  NaN  NaN  NaN
y    1    5    2    3
z  NaN  NaN  NaN  NaN

C - Convert an uppercase letter to lowercase

You messed up the second part of your if condition. That should be a <= 90.

Also, FYI, there is a C library function tolower that does this already:

int main() {
    putchar(tolower('A'));
}

How do I print to the debug output window in a Win32 app?

Consider using the VC++ runtime Macros for Reporting _RPTN() and _RPTFN()

You can use the _RPTn, and _RPTFn macros, defined in CRTDBG.H, to replace the use of printf statements for debugging. These macros automatically disappear in your release build when _DEBUG is not defined, so there is no need to enclose them in #ifdefs.

Example...

if (someVar > MAX_SOMEVAR) {
    _RPTF2(_CRT_WARN, "In NameOfThisFunc( )," 
         " someVar= %d, otherVar= %d\n", someVar, otherVar );
}

Or you can use the VC++ runtime functions _CrtDbgReport, _CrtDbgReportW directly.

_CrtDbgReport and _CrtDbgReportW can send the debug report to three different destinations: a debug report file, a debug monitor (the Visual Studio debugger), or a debug message window.

_CrtDbgReport and _CrtDbgReportW create the user message for the debug report by substituting the argument[n] arguments into the format string, using the same rules defined by the printf or wprintf functions. These functions then generate the debug report and determine the destination or destinations, based on the current report modes and file defined for reportType. When the report is sent to a debug message window, the filename, lineNumber, and moduleName are included in the information displayed in the window.

How to import existing Git repository into another?

There is a well-known instance of this in the Git repository itself, which is collectively known in the Git community as "the coolest merge ever" (after the subject line Linus Torvalds used in the e-mail to the Git mailinglist which describes this merge). In this case, the gitk Git GUI which now is part of Git proper, actually used to be a separate project. Linus managed to merge that repository into the Git repository in a way that

  • it appears in the Git repository as if it had always been developed as part of Git,
  • all the history is kept intact and
  • it can still be developed independently in its old repository, with changes simply being git pulled.

The e-mail contains the steps needed to reproduce, but it is not for the faint of heart: first, Linus wrote Git, so he probably knows a bit more about it than you or me, and second, this was almost 5 years ago and Git has improved considerably since then, so maybe it is now much easier.

In particular, I guess nowadays one would use a gitk submodule, in that specific case.

What's the difference between fill_parent and wrap_content?

Either attribute can be applied to View's (visual control) horizontal or vertical size. It's used to set a View or Layouts size based on either it's contents or the size of it's parent layout rather than explicitly specifying a dimension.

fill_parent (deprecated and renamed MATCH_PARENT in API Level 8 and higher)

Setting the layout of a widget to fill_parent will force it to expand to take up as much space as is available within the layout element it's been placed in. It's roughly equivalent of setting the dockstyle of a Windows Form Control to Fill.

Setting a top level layout or control to fill_parent will force it to take up the whole screen.

wrap_content

Setting a View's size to wrap_content will force it to expand only far enough to contain the values (or child controls) it contains. For controls -- like text boxes (TextView) or images (ImageView) -- this will wrap the text or image being shown. For layout elements it will resize the layout to fit the controls / layouts added as its children.

It's roughly the equivalent of setting a Windows Form Control's Autosize property to True.

Redis - Connect to Remote Server

I was struggling with the remote connection to Redis for some days. Finally I made it. Here is the full check list I put together to follow to get connected. Some of solutions are given in the answers above. Yet I wanted my answer to be a nano-wiki on the subject:) I added some useful links too.

If redis works locally:

$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379>ping
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379>

If the password is not set

See /etc/redis/redis.conf config (this is default locaion for Ubuntu 18.04, you may have it in the different location):

# The following line should be commented
# requirepass <some pass if any>

If the protected mode is set to 'no' in the config:

# The following line should be uncommented
protected-mode no

if the IP binding is open for an access from internet in the config:

# The following line should be commented
# bind 127.0.0.1 ::1

If the Linux firewall allows connections

(here for Ubuntu 18.04) Check it allows for incoming internet traffic to go to port 6379 (the Redis default port)

# To check if it the port is open
$ sudo ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
...
6379/tcp                   ALLOW       Anywhere
6379/tcp (v6)              ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
...

# To open the port
$ sudo ufw allow 6379/tcp

Restart Redis service

Do not forget to restart the Redis service for changes to take effect and see it is running:

$ sudo systemctl restart redis.service
$ sudo systemctl status redis

Check if it works as a remote server

from your command line use redis-cli as if Redis server were on the remote server:

$ redis-cli -h <your-server-ip>
<your-server-ip>:6379> ping
PONG
<your-server-ip>:6379> exit
$

If you can ping-PONG your Redis server via your internet server connected as a remote server than the remote Redis connection works.

Security Warning

All the above makes your Redis data to be completely open to anybody from the internet.

To basically secure Redis use requirepass and protected-mode yes settings in Redis config (see above) and block the dangerous Redis commands (see the link above), for a deeper understanding see this article and Redis site security section ).

Useful links

Some links to help How to install and secure Redis on Ubuntu 18.04 and how to setup Ubuntu 18.04 firewall.

Hope it helps.

            }               
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }

and my html link:

<a href="classRegister:true">Go to register.java</a>

or you can make < a href="classRegister:true" > <- "true" value for class filename

however this script work for mailto link :)

        if (url.startsWith("mailto:")) {
            String[] blah_email = url.split(":");
            Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
            emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{blah_email[1]});
            emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, what_ever_you_want_the_subject_to_be)");
            Log.v("NOTICE", "Sending Email to: " + blah_email[1] + " with subject: " + what_ever_you_want_the_subject_to_be);
            startActivity(emailIntent);
        }

Check if date is in the past Javascript

To make the answer more re-usable for things other than just the datepicker change function you can create a prototype to handle this for you.

// safety check to see if the prototype name is already defined
Function.prototype.method = function (name, func) {
    if (!this.prototype[name]) {
        this.prototype[name] = func;
        return this;
    }
};
Date.method('inPast', function () {
    return this < new Date($.now());// the $.now() requires jQuery
});

// including this prototype as using in example
Date.method('addDays', function (days) {
    var date = new Date(this);
    date.setDate(date.getDate() + (days));    
    return date;
});

If you dont like the safety check you can use the conventional way to define prototypes:

Date.prototype.inPast = function(){
    return this < new Date($.now());// the $.now() requires jQuery
}

Example Usage

var dt = new Date($.now());
var yesterday = dt.addDays(-1);
var tomorrow = dt.addDays(1);
console.log('Yesterday: ' + yesterday.inPast());
console.log('Tomorrow: ' + tomorrow.inPast());

C: scanf to array

Use

scanf("%d", &array[0]);

and use == for comparision instead of =

ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions

(n,) and (n,1) are not the same shape. Try casting the vector to an array by using the [:, None] notation:

n_lists = np.append(n_list_converted, n_last[:, None], axis=1)

Alternatively, when extracting n_last you can use

n_last = n_list_converted[:, -1:]

to get a (20, 1) array.

Homebrew: Could not symlink, /usr/local/bin is not writable

If you already have a directory in /usr/local for the package you're installing, you can try deleting this directory.

In my case I had previously installed the package I was trying to install without using brew, and had then uninstalled it. There was a directory /usr/local/<my_package>/ left over from that previous install. I deleted this folder (sudo rm -rf /usr/local/<my_package>/) and after that the brew link step was successful.

Ajax success event not working

I had this problem using an ajax function to recover the user password from Magento. The success event was not being fired, then I realized there were two errors:

  1. The result was not being returned in JSON format
  2. I was trying to convert an array to JSON format, but this array had non-utf characters

So every time I tried to use json_eoncde() to encode the returning array, the function was not working because one of its indexes had non-utf characters, most of them accentuation in brazilian portuguese words.

Is there any way to have a fieldset width only be as wide as the controls in them?

Use display: inline-block, though you need to wrap it inside a DIV to keep it from actually displaying inline. Tested in Safari.

<style type="text/css">
    .fieldset-auto-width {
         display: inline-block;
    }
</style>
<div>
  <fieldset class="fieldset-auto-width">
      <legend>Blah</legend>
      ...
  </fieldset>
</div>

How can I return the sum and average of an int array?

If you are using visual studio 2005 then

public void sumAverageElements(int[] arr)
{
     int size =arr.Length;
     int sum = 0;
     int average = 0;

     for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
     {
          sum += arr[i];
     }

     average = sum / size; // sum divided by total elements in array

     Console.WriteLine("The Sum Of Array Elements Is : " + sum);
     Console.WriteLine("The Average Of Array Elements Is : " + average);
}

Address in mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2. when email is in a variable

(I'm using SwiftMailer in PHP)

I was getting an error like that when I was accidentally sending a string for $email

$email = "[email protected] <Some One>";

When what I meant to be sending was

$email = Array("[email protected]"=>"Some One");

I was accidentally running it through a stringify function that I was using for logging, so once I started sending the array again, the error went away.

Collections.emptyList() vs. new instance

Starting with Java 5.0 you can specify the type of element in the container:

Collections.<Foo>emptyList()

I concur with the other responses that for cases where you want to return an empty list that stays empty, you should use this approach.

Java: Getting a substring from a string starting after a particular character

I think that would be better if we use directly the split function

String toSplit = "/abc/def/ghfj.doc";

String result[] = toSplit.split("/");

String returnValue = result[result.length - 1]; //equals "ghfj.doc"

How do I edit a file after I shell to a Docker container?

It is kind of screwy, but in a pinch you can use sed or awk to make small edits or remove text. Be careful with your regex targets of course and be aware that you're likely root on your container and might have to re-adjust permissions.

For example, removing a full line that contains text matching a regex:

awk '!/targetText/' file.txt > temp && mv temp file.txt

PDF Blob - Pop up window not showing content

I have been struggling for days finally the solution which worked for me is given below. I had to make the window.print() for PDF in new window needs to work.

 var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
      xhr.open('GET', pdfUrl, true);
      xhr.responseType = 'blob';

      xhr.onload = function(e) {
        if (this['status'] == 200) {          
          var blob = new Blob([this['response']], {type: 'application/pdf'});
          var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
          var printWindow = window.open(url, '', 'width=800,height=500');
          printWindow.print()
        }
      };

      xhr.send();

Some notes on loading PDF & printing in a new window.

  • Loading pdf in a new window via an iframe will work, but the print will not work if url is an external url.
  • Browser pop ups must be allowed, then only it will work.
  • If you try to load iframe from external url and try window.print() you will get empty print or elements which excludes iframe. But you can trigger print manually, which will work.

How do I install Maven with Yum?

This is what I went through on Amazon/AWS EMR v5. (Adapted from the previous answers), to have Maven and Java8.

sudo wget https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/dchen/apache-maven/epel-apache-maven.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
sudo sed -i s/\$releasever/6/g /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
sudo yum install -y apache-maven
sudo alternatives --config java

pick Java8

sudo alternatives --config javac

pick Java8

Now, if you run:

mvn -version

You should get:

Altering a column to be nullable

Assuming SQL Server (based on your previous questions):

ALTER TABLE Merchant_Pending_Functions ALTER COLUMN NumberOfLocations INT NULL

Replace INT with your actual datatype.

Can functions be passed as parameters?

Yes, consider some of these examples:

package main

import "fmt"

// convert types take an int and return a string value.
type convert func(int) string

// value implements convert, returning x as string.
func value(x int) string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("%v", x)
}

// quote123 passes 123 to convert func and returns quoted string.
func quote123(fn convert) string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("%q", fn(123))
}

func main() {
    var result string

    result = value(123)
    fmt.Println(result)
    // Output: 123

    result = quote123(value)
    fmt.Println(result)
    // Output: "123"

    result = quote123(func(x int) string { return fmt.Sprintf("%b", x) })
    fmt.Println(result)
    // Output: "1111011"

    foo := func(x int) string { return "foo" }
    result = quote123(foo)
    fmt.Println(result)
    // Output: "foo"

    _ = convert(foo) // confirm foo satisfies convert at runtime

    // fails due to argument type
    // _ = convert(func(x float64) string { return "" })
}

Controlling execution order of unit tests in Visual Studio

they just can't be run together in a random order as there is no way to tear down the static class

You can name namespaces and classes in alphabetical order. eg.:

  • MyApp.Test.Stage01_Setup.Step01_BuildDB
  • MyApp.Test.Stage01_Setup.Step02_UpgradeDB
  • MyApp.Test.Stage02_Domain.Step01_TestMyStaff
  • MyApp.Test.Stage03_Integration.Step01_TestMyStaff

where MyApp.Test.Stage01_Setup is a namespace and Step01_BuildDB is a class name.

tap gesture recognizer - which object was tapped?

You should amend creation of the gesture recogniser to accept parameter (add colon ':')

UITapGestureRecognizer *letterTapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(highlightLetter:)];

And in your method highlightLetter: you can access the view attached to recogniser:

-(IBAction) highlightLetter:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)recognizer
{
    UIView *view = [recognizer view];
}

Android : Fill Spinner From Java Code Programmatically

Here is an example to fully programmatically:

  • init a Spinner.
  • fill it with data via a String List.
  • resize the Spinner and add it to my View.
  • format the Spinner font (font size, colour, padding).
  • clear the Spinner.
  • add new values to the Spinner.
  • redraw the Spinner.

I am using the following class vars:

Spinner varSpinner;
List<String> varSpinnerData;

float varScaleX;
float varScaleY;    

A - Init and render the Spinner (varRoot is a pointer to my main Activity):

public void renderSpinner() {


    List<String> myArraySpinner = new ArrayList<String>();

    myArraySpinner.add("red");
    myArraySpinner.add("green");
    myArraySpinner.add("blue");     

    varSpinnerData = myArraySpinner;

    Spinner mySpinner = new Spinner(varRoot);               

    varSpinner = mySpinner;

    ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(varRoot, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, myArraySpinner);
    spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); // The drop down vieww
    mySpinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);

B - Resize and Add the Spinner to my View:

    FrameLayout.LayoutParams myParamsLayout = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
            FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 
            FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    myParamsLayout.gravity = Gravity.NO_GRAVITY;             

    myParamsLayout.leftMargin = (int) (100 * varScaleX);
    myParamsLayout.topMargin = (int) (350 * varScaleY);             
    myParamsLayout.width = (int) (300 * varScaleX);;
    myParamsLayout.height = (int) (60 * varScaleY);;


    varLayoutECommerce_Dialogue.addView(mySpinner, myParamsLayout);

C - Make the Click handler and use this to set the font.

    mySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int myPosition, long myID) {

            Log.i("renderSpinner -> ", "onItemSelected: " + myPosition + "/" + myID);

            ((TextView) parentView.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
            ((TextView) parentView.getChildAt(0)).setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, (int) (varScaleY * 22.0f) );
            ((TextView) parentView.getChildAt(0)).setPadding(1,1,1,1);


        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) {
            // your code here
        }

    });

}   

D - Update the Spinner with new data:

private void updateInitSpinners(){

     String mySelected = varSpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
     Log.i("TPRenderECommerce_Dialogue -> ", "updateInitSpinners -> mySelected: " + mySelected);


     varSpinnerData.clear();

     varSpinnerData.add("Hello World");
     varSpinnerData.add("Hello World 2");

     ((BaseAdapter) varSpinner.getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
     varSpinner.invalidate();
     varSpinner.setSelection(1);

}

}

What I have not been able to solve in the updateInitSpinners, is to do varSpinner.setSelection(0); and have the custom font settings activated automatically.

UPDATE:

This "ugly" solution solves the varSpinner.setSelection(0); issue, but I am not very happy with it:

private void updateInitSpinners(){

    String mySelected = varSpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
    Log.i("TPRenderECommerce_Dialogue -> ", "updateInitSpinners -> mySelected: " + mySelected);


    varSpinnerData.clear();

    ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(varRoot, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, varSpinnerData);
    spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); 
    varSpinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);  


    varSpinnerData.add("Hello World");
    varSpinnerData.add("Hello World 2");

    ((BaseAdapter) varSpinner.getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
    varSpinner.invalidate();
    varSpinner.setSelection(0);

}

}

Hope this helps......

Display Records From MySQL Database using JTable in Java

this is the easy way to do that you just need to download the jar file "rs2xml.jar" add it to your project and do that : 1- creat a connection 2- statment and resultset 3- creat a jtable 4- give the result set to DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs) as define in this methode you well get your jtable so easy.

public void afficherAll(String tableName){
        String sql="select * from "+tableName;
        try {
            stmt=con.createStatement();
            rs=stmt.executeQuery(sql);
            tbContTable.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
        }       
    }

Difference between Destroy and Delete

Basically "delete" sends a query directly to the database to delete the record. In that case Rails doesn't know what attributes are in the record it is deleting nor if there are any callbacks (such as before_destroy).

The "destroy" method takes the passed id, fetches the model from the database using the "find" method, then calls destroy on that. This means the callbacks are triggered.

You would want to use "delete" if you don't want the callbacks to be triggered or you want better performance. Otherwise (and most of the time) you will want to use "destroy".

How to filter array when object key value is in array

You can do it with Array.prototype.filter(),

var data = { records : [{ "empid": 1, "fname": "X", "lname": "Y" }, { "empid": 2, "fname": "A", "lname": "Y" }, { "empid": 3, "fname": "B", "lname": "Y" }, { "empid": 4, "fname": "C", "lname": "Y" }, { "empid": 5, "fname": "C", "lname": "Y" }] }
var empIds = [1,4,5]
var filteredArray = data.records.filter(function(itm){
  return empIds.indexOf(itm.empid) > -1;
});

filteredArray = { records : filteredArray };

If? the ?callBack? returns a ?true? value, then the ?itm? passed to that particular callBack will be filtered out. You can read more about it here.??????

trying to animate a constraint in swift

With Swift 5 and iOS 12.3, according to your needs, you may choose one of the 3 following ways in order to solve your problem.


#1. Using UIView's animate(withDuration:animations:) class method

animate(withDuration:animations:) has the following declaration:

Animate changes to one or more views using the specified duration.

class func animate(withDuration duration: TimeInterval, animations: @escaping () -> Void)

The Playground code below shows a possible implementation of animate(withDuration:animations:) in order to animate an Auto Layout constraint's constant change.

import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let textView = UITextView()
    lazy var heightConstraint = textView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50)

#2. Using UIViewPropertyAnimator's init(duration:curve:animations:) initialiser and startAnimation() method

init(duration:curve:animations:) has the following declaration:

Initializes the animator with a built-in UIKit timing curve.

convenience init(duration: TimeInterval, curve: UIViewAnimationCurve, animations: (() -> Void)? = nil)

The Playground code below shows a possible implementation of init(duration:curve:animations:) and startAnimation() in order to animate an Auto Layout constraint's constant change.

What does ||= (or-equals) mean in Ruby?

As a common misconception, a ||= b is not equivalent to a = a || b, but it behaves like a || a = b.

But here comes a tricky case. If a is not defined, a || a = 42 raises NameError, while a ||= 42 returns 42. So, they don't seem to be equivalent expressions.

Saving data to a file in C#

Here is a simple example similar to Sachin's. It's recommended to use a "using" statement on the unmanaged file resource:

        // using System.IO;
        string filepath = @"C:\test.txt";
        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filepath))
        {
            writer.WriteLine("some text");
        }

How to call external JavaScript function in HTML

If a <script> has a src then the text content of the element will be not be executed as JS (although it will appear in the DOM).

You need to use multiple script elements.

  1. a <script> to load the external script
  2. a <script> to hold your inline code (with the call to the function in the external script)

    scroll_messages();

API Gateway CORS: no 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header

Got my sample working: I just inserted 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*', inside headers:{} in the generated nodejs Lambda function. I made no changes to the Lambda-generated API layer.

Here's my NodeJS:

'use strict';
const doc = require('dynamodb-doc');
const dynamo = new doc.DynamoDB();
exports.handler = ( event, context, callback ) => {
    const done = ( err, res ) => callback( null, {
        statusCode: err ? '400' : '200',
        body: err ? err.message : JSON.stringify(res),
        headers:{ 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*' },
    });
    switch( event.httpMethod ) {
        ...
    }
};

Here's my AJAX call

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://x.execute-api.x-x-x.amazonaws.com/prod/fnXx?TableName=x',
    type: 'GET',
    beforeSend: function(){ $( '#loader' ).show();},
    success: function( res ) { alert( JSON.stringify(res) ); },
    error:function(e){ alert('Lambda returned error\n\n' + e.responseText); },
    complete:function(){ $('#loader').hide(); }
});

How do you get the index of the current iteration of a foreach loop?

i want to discuss this question more theoretically (since it has already enough practical answers)

.net has a very nice abstraction model for groups of data (a.k.a. collections)

  • At the very top, and the most abstract, you have an IEnumerable it's just a group of data that you can enumerate. It doesn't matter HOW you enumerate, it's just that you can enumerate some data. And that enumeration is done by a completely different object, an IEnumerator

these interfaces are defined is as follows:

//
// Summary:
//     Exposes an enumerator, which supports a simple iteration over a non-generic collection.
public interface IEnumerable
{
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Returns an enumerator that iterates through a collection.
    //
    // Returns:
    //     An System.Collections.IEnumerator object that can be used to iterate through
    //     the collection.
    IEnumerator GetEnumerator();
}

//
// Summary:
//     Supports a simple iteration over a non-generic collection.
public interface IEnumerator
{
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Gets the element in the collection at the current position of the enumerator.
    //
    // Returns:
    //     The element in the collection at the current position of the enumerator.
    object Current { get; }

    //
    // Summary:
    //     Advances the enumerator to the next element of the collection.
    //
    // Returns:
    //     true if the enumerator was successfully advanced to the next element; false if
    //     the enumerator has passed the end of the collection.
    //
    // Exceptions:
    //   T:System.InvalidOperationException:
    //     The collection was modified after the enumerator was created.
    bool MoveNext();
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Sets the enumerator to its initial position, which is before the first element
    //     in the collection.
    //
    // Exceptions:
    //   T:System.InvalidOperationException:
    //     The collection was modified after the enumerator was created.
    void Reset();
}
  • as you might have noticed, the IEnumerator interface doesn't "know" what an index is, it just knows what element it's currently pointing to, and how to move to the next one.

  • now here is the trick: foreach considers every input collection an IEnumerable, even if it is a more concrete implementation like an IList<T> (which inherits from IEnumerable), it will only see the abstract interface IEnumerable.

  • what foreach is actually doing, is calling GetEnumerator on the collection, and calling MoveNext until it returns false.

  • so here is the problem, you want to define a concrete concept "Indices" on an abstract concept "Enumerables", the built in foreach construct doesn't give you that option, so your only way is to define it yourself, either by what you are doing originally (creating a counter manually) or just use an implementation of IEnumerator that recognizes indices AND implement a foreach construct that recognizes that custom implementation.

personally i would create an extension method like this

public static class Ext
{
    public static void FE<T>(this IEnumerable<T> l, Action<int, T> act)
    {
        int counter = 0;
        foreach (var item in l)
        {
            act(counter, item);
            counter++;
        }
    }
}

and use it like this

var x = new List<string>() { "hello", "world" };
x.FE((ind, ele) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{ind}: {ele}");
});

this also avoids any unnecessary allocations seen in other answers.

Does C have a "foreach" loop construct?

C doesn't have a foreach, but macros are frequently used to emulate that:

#define for_each_item(item, list) \
    for(T * item = list->head; item != NULL; item = item->next)

And can be used like

for_each_item(i, processes) {
    i->wakeup();
}

Iteration over an array is also possible:

#define foreach(item, array) \
    for(int keep = 1, \
            count = 0,\
            size = sizeof (array) / sizeof *(array); \
        keep && count != size; \
        keep = !keep, count++) \
      for(item = (array) + count; keep; keep = !keep)

And can be used like

int values[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
foreach(int *v, values) {
    printf("value: %d\n", *v);
}

Edit: In case you are also interested in C++ solutions, C++ has a native for-each syntax called "range based for"

Adding a view controller as a subview in another view controller

Please also check the official documentation on implementing a custom container view controller:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/ImplementingaContainerViewController.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007457-CH11-SW1

This documentation has much more detailed information for every instruction and also describes how to do add transitions.

Translated to Swift 3:

func cycleFromViewController(oldVC: UIViewController,
               newVC: UIViewController) {
   // Prepare the two view controllers for the change.
   oldVC.willMove(toParentViewController: nil)
   addChildViewController(newVC)

   // Get the start frame of the new view controller and the end frame
   // for the old view controller. Both rectangles are offscreen.r
   newVC.view.frame = view.frame.offsetBy(dx: view.frame.width, dy: 0)
   let endFrame = view.frame.offsetBy(dx: -view.frame.width, dy: 0)

   // Queue up the transition animation.
   self.transition(from: oldVC, to: newVC, duration: 0.25, animations: { 
        newVC.view.frame = oldVC.view.frame
        oldVC.view.frame = endFrame
    }) { (_: Bool) in
        oldVC.removeFromParentViewController()
        newVC.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
    }
}

Spring Boot War deployed to Tomcat

I think you're confused by different paradigms here. First, war files and server deployment -- those things belong to Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE). These concepts have no real place in a spring-boot application, which follows a different model.

Spring-boot is responsible for creating an embedded container and running your services within it directly from standard jar files (although it can do a lot more). I think the intent of this model is to support micro-service development -- where each service has its own container and is completely self contained. You can use your code to generate Java EE apps too, but that would be silly considering that spring-boot is a lot easier (for certain types of application/service).

So, given this information you now have to decide what paradigm you're going to follow, and you need to follow that and only that.

Spring-boot is executable -- you just have to run the main method in the App class which you can do from the command line or using your favourite IDE or maven or gradle (tip: maven is the right answer). This will bring up a tomcat server (by default) and your service will be available within it. Given the configuration you posted above your service should be available at: http://localhost:7777/context/help -- the context is meant to be replaced with your context name, which you haven't shared.

You aren't meant to be creating a war, running tomcat, or deploying anything. None of that is necessary in spring-boot. The packaging in your pom should be jar, not war and the scope of the spring-boot-starter-tomcat should be removed -- it certainly isn't provided.

When you run your main method, the console output should tell you the context that you've registered; use that to get the URL right.

Having said all that, spring-boot has to exist in a JEE world for now (until it is widely adopted). For that reason, the spring people have documented an approach to building a war rather than an executable jar, for deployment to a servlet or JEE container. This allows a lot of the spring-boot tech to be used in environments where there are restrictions against using anything but wars (or ears). However, this is a just a response to the fact that such environments are quite common, and is not seen as a necessary, or even desirable, part of the solution.

How would one write object-oriented code in C?

This has been interesting to read. I have been pondering the same question myself, and the benefits of thinking about it are this:

  • Trying to imagine how to implement OOP concepts in a non-OOP language helps me understand the strengths of the OOp language (in my case, C++). This helps give me better judgement about whether to use C or C++ for a given type of application -- where the benefits of one out-weighs the other.

  • In my browsing the web for information and opinions on this I found an author who was writing code for an embedded processor and only had a C compiler available: http://www.eetimes.com/discussion/other/4024626/Object-Oriented-C-Creating-Foundation-Classes-Part-1

In his case, analyzing and adapting OOP concepts in plain C was a valid pursuit. It appears he was open to sacrificing some OOP concepts due to the performance overhead hit resulting from attempting to implement them in C.

The lesson I've taken is, yes it can be done to a certain degree, and yes, there are some good reasons to attempt it.

In the end, the machine is twiddling stack pointer bits, making the program counter jump around and calculating memory access operations. From the efficiency standpoint, the fewer of these calculations done by your program, the better... but sometimes we have to pay this tax simply so we can organize our program in a way that makes it least susceptible to human error. The OOP language compiler strives to optimize both aspects. The programmer has to be much more careful implementing these concepts in a language like C.

Programmatically center TextView text

if your text size is small, you should make the width of your text view to be "fill_parent". After that, you can set your TextView Gravity to center :

TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText(message);
textView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

How can I detect the touch event of an UIImageView?

You can also add a UIGestureRecognizer. It does not require you to add an additional element in your view hierarchy, but still provides you will all the nicely written code for handling touch events with a fairly simple interface:

    UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeRight = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]
                                            initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipe:)];
    swipeRight.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight;
    [imgView_ addGestureRecognizer:swipeRight];        
    [swipeRight release];
    UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeLeft = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]
                                            initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipe:)];
    swipeLeft.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft;
    [imgView_ addGestureRecognizer:swipeLeft];
    [swipeLeft release];

Ruby - test for array

Also consider using Array(). From the Ruby Community Style Guide:

Use Array() instead of explicit Array check or [*var], when dealing with a variable you want to treat as an Array, but you're not certain it's an array.

# bad
paths = [paths] unless paths.is_a? Array
paths.each { |path| do_something(path) }

# bad (always creates a new Array instance)
[*paths].each { |path| do_something(path) }

# good (and a bit more readable)
Array(paths).each { |path| do_something(path) }

DataTables fixed headers misaligned with columns in wide tables

},50);

How to convert List<string> to List<int>?

This may be overkill for this simple problem. But for Try-Do methods in connection with Linq, I tend to use anonymous classes for more expressive code. It is similar to the answers from Olivier Jacot-Descombes and BA TabNabber:

List<int> ints = strings
    .Select(idString => new { ParseSuccessful = Int32.TryParse(idString, out var id), Value = id })
    .Where(id => id.ParseSuccessful)
    .Select(id => id.Value)
    .ToList();

Difficulty with ng-model, ng-repeat, and inputs

Using Angular latest version (1.2.1) and track by $index. This issue is fixed

http://jsfiddle.net/rnw3u/53/

<div ng-repeat="(i, name) in names track by $index">
    Value: {{name}}
    <input ng-model="names[i]">                         
</div>

Why doesn't the Scanner class have a nextChar method?

According to the javadoc a Scanner does not seem to be intended for reading single characters. You attach a Scanner to an InputStream (or something else) and it parses the input for you. It also can strip of unwanted characters. So you can read numbers, lines, etc. easily. When you need only the characters from your input, use a InputStreamReader for example.

Multiple "order by" in LINQ

Add "new":

var movies = _db.Movies.OrderBy( m => new { m.CategoryID, m.Name })

That works on my box. It does return something that can be used to sort. It returns an object with two values.

Similar, but different to sorting by a combined column, as follows.

var movies = _db.Movies.OrderBy( m => (m.CategoryID.ToString() + m.Name))

How do I clone a range of array elements to a new array?

How about this:

public T[] CloneCopy(T[] array, int startIndex, int endIndex) where T : ICloneable
{
    T[] retArray = new T[endIndex - startIndex];
    for (int i = startIndex; i < endIndex; i++)
    {
        array[i - startIndex] = array[i].Clone();
    }
    return retArray;

}

You then need to implement the ICloneable interface on all of the classes you need to use this on but that should do it.

What is "String args[]"? parameter in main method Java

String [] args is also how you declare an array of Strings in Java.

In this method signature, the array args will be filled with values when the method is called (as the other examples here show). Since you're learning though, it's worth understanding that this args array is just like if you created one yourself in a method, as in this:

public void foo() {
    String [] args = new String[2];
    args[0] = "hello";
    args[1] = "every";

    System.out.println("Output: " + args[0] + args[1]);

    // etc... the usage of 'args' here and in the main method is identical
}

How can I convert a date into an integer?

You can run it through Number()

var myInt = Number(new Date(dates_as_int[0]));

If the parameter is a Date object, the Number() function returns the number of milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970 UTC.

Use of Number()

Spark : how to run spark file from spark shell

You can use either sbt or maven to compile spark programs. Simply add the spark as dependency to maven

<repository>
      <id>Spark repository</id>
      <url>http://www.sparkjava.com/nexus/content/repositories/spark/</url>
</repository>

And then the dependency:

<dependency>
      <groupId>spark</groupId>
      <artifactId>spark</artifactId>
      <version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

In terms of running a file with spark commands: you can simply do this:

echo"
   import org.apache.spark.sql.*
   ssc = new SQLContext(sc)
   ssc.sql("select * from mytable").collect
" > spark.input

Now run the commands script:

cat spark.input | spark-shell

How to make a JTable non-editable

create new DefaultCellEditor class :

public static class Editor_name extends DefaultCellEditor {
  public Editor_name(JCheckBox checkBox) {
   super(checkBox);
  }
  @Override
  public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject anEvent) {
    return false;
  }
}

and use setCellEditor :

JTable table = new JTable();
table.getColumn("columnName").setCellEditor(new Editor_name(new JCheckBox()));

What does this symbol mean in JavaScript?

See the documentation on MDN about expressions and operators and statements.

Basic keywords and general expressions

this keyword:

var x = function() vs. function x() — Function declaration syntax

(function(){})() — IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression)

someFunction()() — Functions which return other functions

=> — Equal sign, greater than: arrow function expression syntax

|> — Pipe, greater than: Pipeline operator

function*, yield, yield* — Star after function or yield: generator functions

[], Array() — Square brackets: array notation

If the square brackets appear on the left side of an assignment ([a] = ...), or inside a function's parameters, it's a destructuring assignment.

{key: value} — Curly brackets: object literal syntax (not to be confused with blocks)

If the curly brackets appear on the left side of an assignment ({ a } = ...) or inside a function's parameters, it's a destructuring assignment.

`${}` — Backticks, dollar sign with curly brackets: template literals

// — Slashes: regular expression literals

$ — Dollar sign in regex replace patterns: $$, $&, $`, $', $n

() — Parentheses: grouping operator


Property-related expressions

obj.prop, obj[prop], obj["prop"] — Square brackets or dot: property accessors

?., ?.[], ?.() — Question mark, dot: optional chaining operator

:: — Double colon: bind operator

Calling a PHP function from an HTML form in the same file

This is the better way that I use to create submit without loading in a form.

You can use some CSS to stylise the iframe the way you want.

A php result will be loaded into the iframe.

<form method="post" action="test.php" target="view">
  <input type="text" name="anyname" palceholder="Enter your name"/>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
  </form>
<iframe name="view" frameborder="0" style="width:100%">
  </iframe>
