Programs & Examples On #Pumping lemma

A lemma mostly used to prove that a language is not regular/context-free.

The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing

Add "-static" to other linker options solves this problem. I was just having the same issue after I tested this on another system, but not on my own, so even if you haven't noticed this on your development system, you should check that you have this set if you're statically linking.

Another note, copying the DLL into the same folder as the executable is not a solution as it defeats the idea of statically linking.

Another option is to use the TDM version of MinGW which solves this problem.

Update edit: this may not solve the problem for everyone. Another reason I recently discovered for this is when you use a library compiled by someone else, in my case it was SFML which was improperly compiled and so required a DLL that did not exist as it was compiled with a different version of MinGW than what I use. I use a dwarf build, this used another one, so I didn't have the DLL anywhere and of course, I didn't want it as it was a static build. The solution may be to find another build of the library, or build it yourself.

How to get image size (height & width) using JavaScript?

The thing all other have forgot is that you cant check image size before it loads. When the author checks all of posted methods it will work probably only on localhost. Since jQuery could be used here, remember that 'ready' event is fired before images are loaded. $('#xxx').width() and .height() should be fired in onload event or later.

How to get last inserted row ID from WordPress database?

Straight after the $wpdb->insert() that does the insert, do this:

$lastid = $wpdb->insert_id;

More information about how to do things the WordPress way can be found in the WordPress codex. The details above were found here on the wpdb class page

How to refresh or show immediately in datagridview after inserting?

You can set the datagridview DataSource to null and rebind it again.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myAccesscon.ConnectionString = connectionString;

    dataGridView.DataSource = null;
    dataGridView.Update();
    dataGridView.Refresh();
    OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, myAccesscon);
    myAccesscon.Open();
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataTable bookings = new DataTable();
    da.Fill(bookings);
    dataGridView.DataSource = bookings;
    myAccesscon.Close();
}

ImportError: No module named PyQt4.QtCore

I had the "No module named PyQt4.QtCore" error and installing the python-qt4 package fixed it only partially: I could run

from PyQt4.QtCore import SIGNAL

from a python interpreter but only without activating my virtualenv.

The only solution I've found till now to use a virtualenv is to copy the PyQt4 folder and the sip.so file into my virtualenv as explained here: Is it possible to add PyQt4/PySide packages on a Virtualenv sandbox?

#1273 – Unknown collation: ‘utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci’

Late to the party, but in case this happens with a WORDPRESS installation :

#1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci

In phpmyadmin, under export method > Format-specific options( custom export )

Set to : MYSQL40

If you will try to import now, you now might get another error message :

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; .....

That is because The older TYPE option that was synonymous with ENGINE was removed in MySQL 5.5.

Open your .sql file , search and replace all instances

from TYPE= to ENGINE=

Now the import should go smoothly.

How to convert an int to a hex string?

Let me add this one, because sometimes you just want the single digit representation

( x can be lower, 'x', or uppercase, 'X', the choice determines if the output letters are upper or lower.):

'{:x}'.format(15)
> f

And now with the new f'' format strings you can do:

f'{15:x}'
> f

To add 0 padding you can use 0>n:

f'{2034:0>4X}'
> 07F2

NOTE: the initial 'f' in f'{15:x}' is to signify a format string

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time" using WebClient

I had this problem. Code worked fine when running locally but not when on server. Using psPing (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/psping.aspx) I realised the applications port wasn't returning anything. Turned out to be a firewall issue. I hadn't enabled my applications port in the Windows Firewall.

Administrative Tools > Windows Firewall with Advanced Security added my applications port to the Inbound Rules and it started working.

Somehow the application port number had got changed, so took a while to figure out what was going on - so thought I'd share this possibility in case it saves someone else time...

Bulk Insertion in Laravel using eloquent ORM

We can update GTF answer to update timestamps easily

$data = array(
    array(
        'name'=>'Coder 1', 'rep'=>'4096',
        'created_at'=>date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
        'modified_at'=> date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
       ),
    array(
         'name'=>'Coder 2', 'rep'=>'2048',
         'created_at'=>date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
         'modified_at'=> date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
       ),
    //...
);

Coder::insert($data);

Update: to simplify the date we can use carbon as @Pedro Moreira suggested

$now = Carbon::now('utc')->toDateTimeString();
$data = array(
    array(
        'name'=>'Coder 1', 'rep'=>'4096',
        'created_at'=> $now,
        'modified_at'=> $now
       ),
    array(
         'name'=>'Coder 2', 'rep'=>'2048',
         'created_at'=> $now,
         'modified_at'=> $now
       ),
    //...
);

Coder::insert($data);

UPDATE2: for laravel 5 , use updated_at instead of modified_at

$now = Carbon::now('utc')->toDateTimeString();
$data = array(
    array(
        'name'=>'Coder 1', 'rep'=>'4096',
        'created_at'=> $now,
        'updated_at'=> $now
       ),
    array(
         'name'=>'Coder 2', 'rep'=>'2048',
         'created_at'=> $now,
         'updated_at'=> $now
       ),
    //...
);

Coder::insert($data);

Subclipse svn:ignore

One more thing... If you already ignored those files through Eclipse (with Team -> Ignored resources) you have to undo these settings so the files are controlled by Subclipse again and "Add to svn:ignore" option reappears

How to perform update operations on columns of type JSONB in Postgres 9.4

If you're able to upgrade to Postgresql 9.5, the jsonb_set command is available, as others have mentioned.

In each of the following SQL statements, I've omitted the where clause for brevity; obviously, you'd want to add that back.

Update name:

UPDATE test SET data = jsonb_set(data, '{name}', '"my-other-name"');

Replace the tags (as oppose to adding or removing tags):

UPDATE test SET data = jsonb_set(data, '{tags}', '["tag3", "tag4"]');

Replacing the second tag (0-indexed):

UPDATE test SET data = jsonb_set(data, '{tags,1}', '"tag5"');

Append a tag (this will work as long as there are fewer than 999 tags; changing argument 999 to 1000 or above generates an error. This no longer appears to be the case in Postgres 9.5.3; a much larger index can be used):

UPDATE test SET data = jsonb_set(data, '{tags,999999999}', '"tag6"', true);

Remove the last tag:

UPDATE test SET data = data #- '{tags,-1}'

Complex update (delete the last tag, insert a new tag, and change the name):

UPDATE test SET data = jsonb_set(
    jsonb_set(data #- '{tags,-1}', '{tags,999999999}', '"tag3"', true), 
    '{name}', '"my-other-name"');

It's important to note that in each of these examples, you're not actually updating a single field of the JSON data. Instead, you're creating a temporary, modified version of the data, and assigning that modified version back to the column. In practice, the result should be the same, but keeping this in mind should make complex updates, like the last example, more understandable.

In the complex example, there are three transformations and three temporary versions: First, the last tag is removed. Then, that version is transformed by adding a new tag. Next, the second version is transformed by changing the name field. The value in the data column is replaced with the final version.

What are MVP and MVC and what is the difference?

You forgot about Action-Domain-Responder (ADR).

As explained in some graphics above, there's a direct relation/link between the Model and the View in MVC. An action is performed on the Controller, which will execute an action on the Model. That action in the Model, will trigger a reaction in the View. The View, is always updated when the Model's state changes.

Some people keep forgetting, that MVC was created in the late 70", and that the Web was only created in late 80"/early 90". MVC wasn't originally created for the Web, but for Desktop applications instead, where the Controller, Model and View would co-exist together.

Because we use web frameworks (eg:. Laravel) that still use the same naming conventions (model-view-controller), we tend to think that it must be MVC, but it's actually something else.

Instead, have a look at Action-Domain-Responder. In ADR, the Controller gets an Action, which will perform an operation in the Model/Domain. So far, the same. The difference is, it then collects that operation's response/data, and pass it to a Responder (eg:. view()) for rendering. When a new action is requested on the same component, the Controller is called again, and the cycle repeats itself. In ADR, there's no connection between the Model/Domain and the View (Reponser's response).

Note: Wikipedia states that "Each ADR action, however, is represented by separate classes or closures.". This is not necessarily true. Several Actions can be in the same Controller, and the pattern is still the same.

Convert URL to File or Blob for FileReader.readAsDataURL

The suggested edit queue is full for @tibor-udvari's excellent fetch answer, so I'll post my suggested edits as a new answer.

This function gets the content type from the header if returned, otherwise falls back on a settable default type.

async function getFileFromUrl(url, name, defaultType = 'image/jpeg'){
  const response = await fetch(url);
  const data = await response.blob();
  return new File([data], name, {
    type: response.headers.get('content-type') || defaultType,
  });
}

// `await` can only be used in an async body, but showing it here for simplicity.
const file = await getFileFromUrl('https://example.com/image.jpg', 'example.jpg');

Getting time difference between two times in PHP

You can use strtotime() for time calculation. Here is an example:

$checkTime = strtotime('09:00:59');
echo 'Check Time : '.date('H:i:s', $checkTime);
echo '<hr>';

$loginTime = strtotime('09:01:00');
$diff = $checkTime - $loginTime;
echo 'Login Time : '.date('H:i:s', $loginTime).'<br>';
echo ($diff < 0)? 'Late!' : 'Right time!'; echo '<br>';
echo 'Time diff in sec: '.abs($diff);

echo '<hr>';

$loginTime = strtotime('09:00:59');
$diff = $checkTime - $loginTime;
echo 'Login Time : '.date('H:i:s', $loginTime).'<br>';
echo ($diff < 0)? 'Late!' : 'Right time!';

echo '<hr>';

$loginTime = strtotime('09:00:00');
$diff = $checkTime - $loginTime;
echo 'Login Time : '.date('H:i:s', $loginTime).'<br>';
echo ($diff < 0)? 'Late!' : 'Right time!';

Demo

Check the already-asked question - how to get time difference in minutes:

Subtract the past-most one from the future-most one and divide by 60.

Times are done in unix format so they're just a big number showing the number of seconds from January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT

Rotate axis text in python matplotlib

I came up with a similar example. Again, the rotation keyword is.. well, it's key.

from pylab import *
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.bar( [0,1,2], [1,3,5] )
ax.set_xticks( [ 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 ] )
ax.set_xticklabels( ['tom','dick','harry'], rotation=45 ) ;

Please explain about insertable=false and updatable=false in reference to the JPA @Column annotation

According to Javax's persistence documentation:

Whether the column is included in SQL UPDATE statements generated by the persistence provider.

It would be best to understand from the official documentation here.

Symbolicating iPhone App Crash Reports

I also put dsym, app bundle, and crash log together in the same directory before running symbolicate crash

Then I use this function defined in my .profile to simplify running symbolicatecrash:

function desym
{
    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash -A -v $1 | more
}

The arguments added there may help you.

You can check to make sure spotlight "sees" your dysm files by running the command:

mdfind 'com_apple_xcode_dsym_uuids = *'

Look for the dsym you have in your directory.

NOTE: As of the latest Xcode, there is no longer a Developer directory. You can find this utility here:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Vers??ions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash

Vagrant ssh authentication failure

In my experience, this has been a surprisingly frequent problem with new vagrant machines. By far the easiest way to solve it, instead of altering the configuration itself, has been creating the required ssh keys manually on the client, then using the private key on the host.

  1. Log in to vagrant machine: vagrant ssh, use default password vagrant.
  2. Create ssh keys: for example, ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "vagrant" (as adviced by GitHub's relevant guide).
  3. Rename the public key file (by default id_rsa.pub), overriding the old one: mv .ssh/id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys.
  4. Reload ssh service in case needed: sudo service ssh reload.
  5. Copy the private key file (by default id_rsa) to the host machine: for instance, use a fine combination of cat and clipboard, cat .ssh/id_rsa, paint and copy (better ways must exist, go invent one!).
  6. Logout from the vagrant machine: logout.
  7. Find the current private key used by vagrant by looking at its configuration: vagrant ssh-config (look for instance ÌdentityFile "/[...]/private_key".
  8. Replace the current private key with the one you created at the host machine: for example, nano /[...]/private_key and paste from the clipboard, if all else fails. (Note, however, that if your private_key is not project specific but shared by multiple vagrant machines, you better configure the path yourself in order to not break other perfectly working machines! Changing the path is as simple as adding a line config.ssh.private_key_path = "path/to/private_key" into the Vagrantfile.) Furthermore, if you are using PuPHPet generated machine, you can store your private key to file puphpet/files/dot/ssh/id_rsa and it will be added to Vagrantfile's ssh config automatically.
  9. Test the setup: vagrant ssh should now work.

Should that be the case, congratulate yourself, logout, run vagrant provision if needed and carry on with the meaningful task at hand.

If you still face problems, it may come handy to add verbose flag to ssh command to ease debugging. You can pass that (or any other option, for that matter) after double dash. For example, typing vagrant ssh -- -v. Feel free to add as many v's as you need, each will give you more information.

Why am I getting ImportError: No module named pip ' right after installing pip?

This issue occurs with me while I was trying to upgrade pip version. It was resolved with the following commands:

python -m ensurepip

The above command restores the pip and below mentioned upgrades it.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip 

While loop in batch

set /a countfiles-=%countfiles%

This will set countfiles to 0. I think you want to decrease it by 1, so use this instead:

set /a countfiles-=1

I'm not sure if the for loop will work, better try something like this:

:loop
cscript /nologo c:\deletefile.vbs %BACKUPDIR%
set /a countfiles-=1
if %countfiles% GTR 21 goto loop

Rotating a point about another point (2D)

The coordinate system on the screen is left-handed, i.e. the x coordinate increases from left to right and the y coordinate increases from top to bottom. The origin, O(0, 0) is at the upper left corner of the screen.

enter image description here

A clockwise rotation around the origin of a point with coordinates (x, y) is given by the following equations:

enter image description here

where (x', y') are the coordinates of the point after rotation and angle theta, the angle of rotation (needs to be in radians, i.e. multiplied by: PI / 180).

To perform rotation around a point different from the origin O(0,0), let's say point A(a, b) (pivot point). Firstly we translate the point to be rotated, i.e. (x, y) back to the origin, by subtracting the coordinates of the pivot point, (x - a, y - b). Then we perform the rotation and get the new coordinates (x', y') and finally we translate the point back, by adding the coordinates of the pivot point to the new coordinates (x' + a, y' + b).

Following the above description:

a 2D clockwise theta degrees rotation of point (x, y) around point (a, b) is:

Using your function prototype: (x, y) -> (p.x, p.y); (a, b) -> (cx, cy); theta -> angle:

POINT rotate_point(float cx, float cy, float angle, POINT p){

     return POINT(cos(angle) * (p.x - cx) - sin(angle) * (p.y - cy) + cx,
                  sin(angle) * (p.x - cx) + cos(angle) * (p.y - cy) + cy);
}

How can I add a custom HTTP header to ajax request with js or jQuery?

You can also do this without using jQuery. Override XMLHttpRequest's send method and add the header there:

XMLHttpRequest.prototype.realSend = XMLHttpRequest.prototype.send;

    this.setRequestHeader('x-my-custom-header', 'some value');
    this.realSend(vData);
};
XMLHttpRequest.prototype.send = newSend;

SQL Server 2008 Row Insert and Update timestamps

As an alternative to using a trigger, you might like to consider creating a stored procedure to handle the INSERTs that takes most of the columns as arguments and gets the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP which it includes in the final INSERT to the database. You could do the same for the CREATE. You may also be able to set things up so that users cannot execute INSERT and CREATE statements other than via the stored procedures.

I have to admit that I haven't actually done this myself so I'm not at all sure of the details.

Search for string within text column in MySQL

The % operator in LIKE means "anything can be here".

not None test in Python

The best bet with these types of questions is to see exactly what python does. The dis module is incredibly informative:

>>> import dis
>>> dis.dis("val != None")
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (val)
              2 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              4 COMPARE_OP               3 (!=)
              6 RETURN_VALUE
>>> dis.dis("not (val is None)")
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (val)
              2 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              4 COMPARE_OP               9 (is not)
              6 RETURN_VALUE
>>> dis.dis("val is not None")
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (val)
              2 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              4 COMPARE_OP               9 (is not)
              6 RETURN_VALUE

Notice that the last two cases reduce to the same sequence of operations, Python reads not (val is None) and uses the is not operator. The first uses the != operator when comparing with None.

As pointed out by other answers, using != when comparing with None is a bad idea.

How to work with string fields in a C struct?

You could just use an even simpler typedef:

typedef char *string;

Then, your malloc would look like a usual malloc:

string s = malloc(maxStringLength);

What is MVC and what are the advantages of it?

One con I can think of is if you need really fast access to your data in your view (for example, game animation data like bone positions.) It is very inefficient to keep a layer of separation in this case.

Otherwise, for most other applications which are more data driven than graphics driven, it seems like a logical way to drive a UI.

How to use jQuery Plugin with Angular 4?

the solution to the typescript:

Step1:

npm install jquery

npm install --save-dev @types/jquery

step2: in Angular.json add:

"scripts": [
        "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
      ]

or in index.html add:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

step3: in *.component.ts where you want to use jquery

import * as $ from 'jquery';  // dont need "declare let $"

Then you can use jquery the same as javaScript. This way, VScode supports auto-suggestion by Typescript

How do I pass a datetime value as a URI parameter in asp.net mvc?

You should first add a new route in global.asax:


routes.MapRoute(
                "MyNewRoute",
                "{controller}/{action}/{date}",
                new { controller="YourControllerName", action="YourActionName", date = "" }
            );

The on your Controller:



        public ActionResult MyActionName(DateTime date)
        {

        }

Remember to keep your default route at the bottom of the RegisterRoutes method. Be advised that the engine will try to cast whatever value you send in {date} as a DateTime example, so if it can't be casted then an exception will be thrown. If your date string contains spaces or : you could HTML.Encode them so the URL could be parsed correctly. If no, then you could have another DateTime representation.

Get current date in Swift 3?

You can do it in this way with Swift 3.0:

let date = Date()

let components = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: date)

let year =  components.year
let month = components.month
let day = components.day

print(year)
print(month)
print(day)

Android Volley - BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 400

Me too got the same error but in my case I was calling url with blank spaces.

Then, I fixed it by parsing like below.

StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
                            new com.android.volley.Response.Listener<String>() {
                                @Override
                                public void onResponse(String response) {
                                ...
                                ...

Twitter Bootstrap 3 Sticky Footer

Answered by the OP:

Add this to your CSS file.

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  /* The html and body elements cannot have any padding or margin. */
}
/* Wrapper for page content to push down footer */
#wrap {
  min-height: 100%;
  height: auto !important;
  height: 100%;
  /* Negative indent footer by it's height */
  margin: 0 auto -60px;
}

/* Set the fixed height of the footer here */
#push,
#footer {
  height: 60px;
}
#footer {
  background-color: #eee;
}

/* Lastly, apply responsive CSS fixes as necessary */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
  #footer {
    margin-left: -20px;
    margin-right: -20px;
    padding-left: 20px;

How to "pretty" format JSON output in Ruby on Rails

Android simple alert dialog

You would simply need to do this in your onClick:

AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
alertDialog.setMessage("Alert message to be shown");
alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL, "OK",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
alertDialog.show();

I don't know from where you saw that you need DialogFragment for simply showing an alert.

Postgresql - select something where date = "01/01/11"

I think you want to cast your dt to a date and fix the format of your date literal:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE dt::date = '2011-01-01' -- This should be ISO-8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD

Or the standard version:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE CAST(dt AS DATE) = '2011-01-01' -- This should be ISO-8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD

The extract function doesn't understand "date" and it returns a number.

Array.size() vs Array.length

.size() is not a native JS function of Array (at least not in any browser that I know of).

.length should be used.


If

.size() does work on your page, make sure you do not have any extra libraries included like prototype that is mucking with the Array prototype.

or

There might be some plugin on your browser that is mucking with the Array prototype.

How do I implement interfaces in python?

There are third-party implementations of interfaces for Python (most popular is Zope's, also used in Twisted), but more commonly Python coders prefer to use the richer concept known as an "Abstract Base Class" (ABC), which combines an interface with the possibility of having some implementation aspects there too. ABCs are particularly well supported in Python 2.6 and later, see the PEP, but even in earlier versions of Python they're normally seen as "the way to go" -- just define a class some of whose methods raise NotImplementedError so that subclasses will be on notice that they'd better override those methods!-)

When should I really use noexcept?

I think it is too early to give a "best practices" answer for this as there hasn't been enough time to use it in practice. If this was asked about throw specifiers right after they came out then the answers would be very different to now.

Having to think about whether or not I need to append noexcept after every function declaration would greatly reduce programmer productivity (and frankly, would be a pain).

Well, then use it when it's obvious that the function will never throw.

When can I realistically expect to observe a performance improvement after using noexcept? [...] Personally, I care about noexcept because of the increased freedom provided to the compiler to safely apply certain kinds of optimizations.

It seems like the biggest optimization gains are from user optimizations, not compiler ones due to the possibility of checking noexcept and overloading on it. Most compilers follow a no-penalty-if-you-don't-throw exception handling method, so I doubt it would change much (or anything) on the machine code level of your code, although perhaps reduce the binary size by removing the handling code.

Using noexcept in the big four (constructors, assignment, not destructors as they're already noexcept) will likely cause the best improvements as noexcept checks are 'common' in template code such as in std containers. For instance, std::vector won't use your class's move unless it's marked noexcept (or the compiler can deduce it otherwise).

How can I create a two dimensional array in JavaScript?

I had to make a flexible array function to add "records" to it as i needed and to be able to update them and do whatever calculations e needed before i sent it to a database for further processing. Here's the code, hope it helps :).

function Add2List(clmn1, clmn2, clmn3) {
    aColumns.push(clmn1,clmn2,clmn3); // Creates array with "record"
    aLine.splice(aPos, 0,aColumns);  // Inserts new "record" at position aPos in main array
    aColumns = [];    // Resets temporary array
    aPos++ // Increments position not to overlap previous "records"
}

Feel free to optimize and / or point out any bugs :)

Size of character ('a') in C/C++

In C language, character literal is not a char type. C considers character literal as integer. So, there is no difference between sizeof('a') and sizeof(1).

So, the sizeof character literal is equal to sizeof integer in C.

In C++ language, character literal is type of char. The cppreference say's:

1) narrow character literal or ordinary character literal, e.g. 'a' or '\n' or '\13'. Such literal has type char and the value equal to the representation of c-char in the execution character set. If c-char is not representable as a single byte in the execution character set, the literal has type int and implementation-defined value.

So, in C++ character literal is a type of char. so, size of character literal in C++ is one byte.

Alos, In your programs, you have used wrong format specifier for sizeof operator.

C11 §7.21.6.1 (P9) :

If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined.275) If any argument is not the correct type for the corresponding conversion specification, the behavior is undefined.

So, you should use %zu format specifier instead of %d, otherwise it is undefined behaviour in C.

But in any case, I suspect you did not install the VMWare Tools: doubleclick on that icon on the Desktop that can be seen on your screenshot. It will install some drivers that communicate with VMWare that, among other things, allow to adjust the screen resolution dynamically.

When the installation process is finished, you'll most likely have to reboot the VM.

afxwin.h file is missing in VC++ Express Edition

Check if input is number or letter javascript

I know this post is old but it was the first one that popped up when I did a search. I tried @Kim Kling RegExp but it failed miserably. Also prior to finding this forum I had tried almost all the other variations listed here. In the end, none of them worked except this one I created; it works fine, plus it is es6:

    const regex = new RegExp(/[^0-9]/, 'g');
    const val = document.forms["myForm"]["age"].value;

    if (val.match(regex)) {
       alert("Must be a valid number");
    }
   

Constructing pandas DataFrame from values in variables gives "ValueError: If using all scalar values, you must pass an index"

Pandas magic at work. All logic is out.

The error message "ValueError: If using all scalar values, you must pass an index" Says you must pass an index.

This does not necessarily mean passing an index makes pandas do what you want it to do

When you pass an index, pandas will treat your dictionary keys as column names and the values as what the column should contain for each of the values in the index.

a = 2
b = 3
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A':a,'B':b}, index=[1])

    A   B
1   2   3

Passing a larger index:

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A':a,'B':b}, index=[1, 2, 3, 4])

    A   B
1   2   3
2   2   3
3   2   3
4   2   3

An index is usually automatically generated by a dataframe when none is given. However, pandas does not know how many rows of 2 and 3 you want. You can however be more explicit about it

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A':[a]*4,'B':[b]*4})
df2

    A   B
0   2   3
1   2   3
2   2   3
3   2   3

The default index is 0 based though.

I would recommend always passing a dictionary of lists to the dataframe constructor when creating dataframes. It's easier to read for other developers. Pandas has a lot of caveats, don't make other developers have to experts in all of them in order to read your code.

OPENSSL file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto

How to find if an array contains a specific string in JavaScript/jQuery?

I don't like $.inArray(..), it's the kind of ugly, jQuery-ish solution that most sane people wouldn't tolerate. Here's a snippet which adds a simple contains(str) method to your arsenal:

$.fn.contains = function (target) {
  var result = null;
  $(this).each(function (index, item) {
    if (item === target) {
      result = item;
    }
  });
  return result ? result : false;
}

Similarly, you could wrap $.inArray in an extension:

$.fn.contains = function (target) {
  return ($.inArray(target, this) > -1);
}

MySQL fails on: mysql "ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'auth_socket' is not loaded"

You can try these some steps:

Stop Mysql Service 1st sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

Login as root without password sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

After login mysql terminal you should need execute commands more:

use mysql;

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('solutionclub3@*^G'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';

flush privileges;

sudo mysqladmin -u root -p -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock shutdown

After you restart your mysql server If you still facing error you must visit : Reset MySQL 5.7 root password Ubuntu 16.04

How to call a function from another controller in angularjs?

Set width to match constraints in ConstraintLayout

I found one more answer when there is a constraint layout inside the scroll view then we need to put

android:fillViewport="true"

to the scroll view

and

android:layout_height="0dp"

in the constraint layout

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fillViewport="true">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp">

// Rest of the views

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

</ScrollView>

How to count total lines changed by a specific author in a Git repository?

@echo added=%added%
@echo removed=%removed%
goto :eof

:Count
  if NOT "%1" == "-" set /a added=%added% + %1
  if NOT "%2" == "-" set /a removed=%removed% + %2

How to run specific test cases in GoogleTest

Summarising @Rasmi Ranjan Nayak and @nogard answers and adding another option:

On the console

You should use the flag --gtest_filter, like

--gtest_filter=Test_Cases1*

(You can also do this in Properties|Configuration Properties|Debugging|Command Arguments)

On the environment

You should set the variable GTEST_FILTER like

export GTEST_FILTER = "Test_Cases1*"

On the code

You should set a flag filter, like

::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "Test_Cases1*";

such that your main function becomes something like

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
    ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "Test_Cases1*";
    return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

See section Running a Subset of the Tests for more info on the syntax of the string you can use.

Remove All Event Listeners of Specific Type

I know this is old, but I had a similar issue with no real answers, where I wanted to remove all keydown event listeners from the document. Instead of removing them, I override the addEventListener to ignore them before they were even added, similar to Toms answer above, by adding this before any other scripts are loaded:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var current = document.addEventListener;
    document.addEventListener = function (type, listener) {
        if(type =="keydown")
        {
            //do nothing
        }
        else
        {
            var args = [];
            args[0] = type;
            args[1] = listener;
            current.apply(this, args);
        }
    };
</script>

MVC4 Passing model from view to controller

I hope this complete example will help you.

This is the TaxiInfo class which holds information about a taxi ride:

namespace Taxi.Models
{
    public class TaxiInfo
    {
        public String Driver { get; set; }
        public Double Fare { get; set; }
        public Double Distance { get; set; }
        public String StartLocation { get; set; }
        public String EndLocation { get; set; }
    }
}

We also have a convenience model which holds a List of TaxiInfo(s):

namespace Taxi.Models
{
    public class TaxiInfoSet
    {
        public List<TaxiInfo> TaxiInfoList { get; set; }

        public TaxiInfoSet(params TaxiInfo[] TaxiInfos)
        {
            TaxiInfoList = new List<TaxiInfo>();

            foreach(var TaxiInfo in TaxiInfos)
            {
                TaxiInfoList.Add(TaxiInfo);
            }
        }
    }
}

Now in the home controller we have the default Index action which for this example makes two taxi drivers and adds them to the list contained in a TaxiInfo:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var taxi1 = new TaxiInfo() { Fare = 20.2, Distance = 15, Driver = "Billy", StartLocation = "Perth", EndLocation = "Brisbane" };
    var taxi2 = new TaxiInfo() { Fare = 2339.2, Distance = 1500, Driver = "Smith", StartLocation = "Perth", EndLocation = "America" };

    return View(new TaxiInfoSet(taxi1,taxi2));
}

The code for the view is as follows:

@model Taxi.Models.TaxiInfoSet
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

@foreach(var TaxiInfo in Model.TaxiInfoList){
    <form>
        <h1>Cost: [email protected]</h1>
        <h2>Distance: @(TaxiInfo.Distance) km</h2>
        <p>
            Our diver, @TaxiInfo.Driver will take you from @TaxiInfo.StartLocation to @TaxiInfo.EndLocation
        </p>
        @Html.ActionLink("Home","Booking",TaxiInfo)
    </form>
}

The ActionLink is responsible for the re-directing to the booking action of the Home controller (and passing in the appropriate TaxiInfo object) which is defiend as follows:

    public ActionResult Booking(TaxiInfo Taxi)
    {
        return View(Taxi);
    }

This returns a the following view:

@model Taxi.Models.TaxiInfo

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Booking";
}

<h2>Booking For</h2>
<h1>@Model.Driver, going from @Model.StartLocation to @Model.EndLocation (a total of @Model.Distance km) for [email protected]</h1>

    escape.textContent = html;
    return escape.innerHTML;
}

function unescapeHTML(html) {
    escape.innerHTML = html;
    return escape.textContent;
}

How to remove element from ArrayList by checking its value?

One-liner (java8):

(does all the iterating implicitly)

Difference between <? super T> and <? extends T> in Java

extends

The wildcard declaration of List<? extends Number> foo3 means that any of these are legal assignments:

List<? extends Number> foo3 = new ArrayList<Number>();  // Number "extends" Number (in this context)
List<? extends Number> foo3 = new ArrayList<Integer>(); // Integer extends Number
List<? extends Number> foo3 = new ArrayList<Double>();  // Double extends Number
  1. Reading - Given the above possible assignments, what type of object are you guaranteed to read from List foo3:

    • You can read a Number because any of the lists that could be assigned to foo3 contain a Number or a subclass of Number.
    • You can't read an Integer because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Double>.
    • You can't read a Double because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Integer>.
  2. Writing - Given the above possible assignments, what type of object could you add to List foo3 that would be legal for all the above possible ArrayList assignments:

    • You can't add an Integer because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Double>.
    • You can't add a Double because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Integer>.
    • You can't add a Number because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Integer>.

You can't add any object to List<? extends T> because you can't guarantee what kind of List it is really pointing to, so you can't guarantee that the object is allowed in that List. The only "guarantee" is that you can only read from it and you'll get a T or subclass of T.

super

Now consider List <? super T>.

The wildcard declaration of List<? super Integer> foo3 means that any of these are legal assignments:

List<? super Integer> foo3 = new ArrayList<Integer>();  // Integer is a "superclass" of Integer (in this context)
List<? super Integer> foo3 = new ArrayList<Number>();   // Number is a superclass of Integer
List<? super Integer> foo3 = new ArrayList<Object>();   // Object is a superclass of Integer
  1. Reading - Given the above possible assignments, what type of object are you guaranteed to receive when you read from List foo3:

    • You aren't guaranteed an Integer because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Number> or List<Object>.
    • You aren't guaranteed a Number because foo3 could be pointing at a List<Object>.
    • The only guarantee is that you will get an instance of an Object or subclass of Object (but you don't know what subclass).
  2. Writing - Given the above possible assignments, what type of object could you add to List foo3 that would be legal for all the above possible ArrayList assignments:

    • You can add an Integer because an Integer is allowed in any of above lists.
    • You can add an instance of a subclass of Integer because an instance of a subclass of Integer is allowed in any of the above lists.
    • You can't add a Double because foo3 could be pointing at an ArrayList<Integer>.
    • You can't add a Number because foo3 could be pointing at an ArrayList<Integer>.
    • You can't add an Object because foo3 could be pointing at an ArrayList<Integer>.

PECS

Remember PECS: "Producer Extends, Consumer Super".

  • "Producer Extends" - If you need a List to produce T values (you want to read Ts from the list), you need to declare it with ? extends T, e.g. List<? extends Integer>. But you cannot add to this list.

  • "Consumer Super" - If you need a List to consume T values (you want to write Ts into the list), you need to declare it with ? super T, e.g. List<? super Integer>. But there are no guarantees what type of object you may read from this list.

  • If you need to both read from and write to a list, you need to declare it exactly with no wildcards, e.g. List<Integer>.

Example

Note this example from the Java Generics FAQ. Note how the source list src (the producing list) uses extends, and the destination list dest (the consuming list) uses super:

public class Collections { 
  public static <T> void copy(List<? super T> dest, List<? extends T> src) {
      for (int i = 0; i < src.size(); i++) 
        dest.set(i, src.get(i)); 
  } 
}

Subtract two variables in Bash

Try this Bash syntax instead of trying to use an external program expr:

count=$((FIRSTV-SECONDV))

BTW, the correct syntax of using expr is:

count=$(expr $FIRSTV - $SECONDV)

But keep in mind using expr is going to be slower than the internal Bash syntax I provided above.

How do I get the value of a registry key and ONLY the value using powershell

Harry Martyrossian mentions in a comment on his own answer that the
Get-ItemPropertyValue cmdlet was introduced in Powershell v5, which solves the problem:

PS> Get-ItemPropertyValue 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion' 'ProgramFilesDir'
C:\Program Files

Alternatives for PowerShell v4-:

Here's an attempt to retain the efficiency while eliminating the need for repetition of the value name, which, however, is still a little cumbersome:

& { (Get-ItemProperty `
      -LiteralPath HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion `
      -Name $args `
    ).$args } 'ProgramFilesDir'

By using a script block, the value name can be passed in once as a parameter, and the parameter variable ($args) can then simply be used twice inside the block.

Alternatively, a simple helper function can ease the pain:

function Get-RegValue([String] $KeyPath, [String] $ValueName) {
  (Get-ItemProperty -LiteralPath $KeyPath -Name $ValueName).$ValueName
}

Note: All solutions above bypass the problem described in Ian Kemp's's answer - the need to use explicit quoting for certain value names when used as property names; e.g., .'15.0' - because the value names are passed as parameters and property access happens via a variable; e.g., .$ValueName


As for the other answers:

  • Andy Arismendi's helpful answer explains the annoyance with having to repeat the value name in order to get the value data efficiently.
  • M Jeremy Carter's helpful answer is more convenient, but can be a performance pitfall for keys with a large number of values, because an object with a large number of properties must be constructed.

PHP sessions that have already been started

I encountered this issue while trying to fix $_SESSION's blocking behavior.

http://konrness.com/php5/how-to-prevent-blocking-php-requests/

The session file remains locked until the script completes or the session is manually closed.

So, by default, a page should open a session in read-only mode. But once it's open in read-only, it has to be closed-and-reopened in to get it into write mode.

const SESSION_DEFAULT_COOKIE_LIFETIME = 86400;

/**
 * Open _SESSION read-only
 */
function OpenSessionReadOnly() {
    session_start([
                      'cookie_lifetime' => SESSION_DEFAULT_COOKIE_LIFETIME,
                      'read_and_close'  => true,    // READ ACCESS FAST
                  ]);
    // $_SESSION is now defined. Call WriteSessionValues() to write out values
}

/**
 * _SESSION is read-only by default. Call this function to save a new value
 * call this function like `WriteSessionValues(["username"=>$login_user]);`
 * to set $_SESSION["username"]
 *
 * @param array $values_assoc_array
 */
function WriteSessionValues($values_assoc_array) {
    // this is required to close the read-only session and 
    // not get a warning on the next line.
    session_abort();

    // now open the session with write access
    session_start([ 'cookie_lifetime' => SESSION_DEFAULT_COOKIE_LIFETIME ]);

    foreach ($values_assoc_array as $key => $value) {
        $_SESSION[ $key ] = $value;
    }
    session_write_close();  // Write session data and end session

    OpenSessionReadOnly(); // now reopen the session in read-only mode.
}

OpenSessionReadOnly();  // start the session for this page

Then when you go to write some value:

WriteSessionValues(["username"=>$login_user]);

The function takes an array of key=>value pairs to make it even more efficient.

What is the Swift equivalent to Objective-C's "@synchronized"?

In the "Understanding Crashes and Crash Logs" session 414 of the 2018 WWDC they show the following way using DispatchQueues with sync.

In swift 4 should be something like the following:

class ImageCache {
    private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "sync queue")
    private var storage: [String: UIImage] = [:]
    public subscript(key: String) -> UIImage? {
        get {
          return queue.sync {
            return storage[key]
          }
        }
        set {
          queue.sync {
            storage[key] = newValue
          }
        }
    }
}

Anyway you can also make reads faster using concurrent queues with barriers. Sync and async reads are performed concurrently and writing a new value waits for previous operations to finish.

class ImageCache {
    private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "with barriers", attributes: .concurrent)
    private var storage: [String: UIImage] = [:]

    func get(_ key: String) -> UIImage? {
        return queue.sync { [weak self] in
            guard let self = self else { return nil }
            return self.storage[key]
        }
    }

    func set(_ image: UIImage, for key: String) {
        queue.async(flags: .barrier) { [weak self] in
            guard let self = self else { return }
            self.storage[key] = image
        }
    }
}

Which comment style should I use in batch files?

James K, I'm sorry I was wrong in a fair portion of what I said. The test I did was the following:

@ECHO OFF
(
  :: But
   : neither
  :: does
   : this
  :: also.
)

This meets your description of alternating but fails with a ") was unexpected at this time." error message.

I did some farther testing today and found that alternating isn't the key but it appears the key is having an even number of lines, not having any two lines in a row starting with double colons (::) and not ending in double colons. Consider the following:

@ECHO OFF
(
   : But
   : neither
   : does
   : this
   : cause
   : problems.
)

This works!

But also consider this:

@ECHO OFF
(
   : Test1
   : Test2
   : Test3
   : Test4
   : Test5
   ECHO.
)

The rule of having an even number of comments doesn't seems to apply when ending in a command.

Unfortunately this is just squirrelly enough that I'm not sure I want to use it.

Really, the best solution, and the safest that I can think of, is if a program like Notepad++ would read REM as double colons and then would write double colons back as REM statements when the file is saved. But I'm not aware of such a program and I'm not aware of any plugins for Notepad++ that does that either.

invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'

Well, data.str().c_str() yields a char const* but your function Printfunc() wants to have char*s. Based on the name, it doesn't change the arguments but merely prints them and/or uses them to name a file, in which case you should probably fix your declaration to be

void Printfunc(int a, char const* loc, char const* stream)

The alternative might be to turn the char const* into a char* but fixing the declaration is preferable:

Printfunc(num, addr, const_cast<char*>(data.str().c_str()));

Java List.contains(Object with field value equal to x)

If you need to perform this List.contains(Object with field value equal to x) repeatedly, a simple and efficient workaround would be:

List<field obj type> fieldOfInterestValues = new ArrayList<field obj type>;
for(Object obj : List) {
    fieldOfInterestValues.add(obj.getFieldOfInterest());
}

Then the List.contains(Object with field value equal to x) would be have the same result as fieldOfInterestValues.contains(x);

failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections

it is because of using web address, You can not use http to write data. don't use : http:// or https:// in your location for upload files or save data or somting like that. instead of of using $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] use $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. for example :

wrong :

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["File"]["tmp_name"],$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"].'/uploads/images/1.jpg')

correct:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["File"]["tmp_name"],$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/uploads/images/1.jpg')

Push SVG element to last, so that its z-index will be in top. In SVG, there s no property called z-index. try below javascript to bring the element to top.

var Target = document.getElementById(event.currentTarget.id);
var svg = document.getElementById("SVGEditor");
svg.insertBefore(Target, svg.lastChild.nextSibling);

Target: Is an element for which we need to bring it to top svg: Is the container of elements

Getting current directory in .NET web application

Use this code:

 HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~")

Detailed Reference:

Server.MapPath specifies the relative or virtual path to map to a physical directory.

  • Server.MapPath(".") returns the current physical directory of the file (e.g. aspx) being executed
  • Server.MapPath("..") returns the parent directory
  • Server.MapPath("~") returns the physical path to the root of the application
  • Server.MapPath("/") returns the physical path to the root of the domain name (is not necessarily the same as the root of the application)

An example:

Let's say you pointed a web site application (http://www.example.com/) to

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

and installed your shop application (sub web as virtual directory in IIS, marked as application) in

D:\WebApps\shop

For example, if you call Server.MapPath in following request:

http://www.example.com/shop/products/GetProduct.aspx?id=2342

then:

Server.MapPath(".") returns D:\WebApps\shop\products
Server.MapPath("..") returns D:\WebApps\shop
Server.MapPath("~") returns D:\WebApps\shop
Server.MapPath("/") returns C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
Server.MapPath("/shop") returns D:\WebApps\shop

If Path starts with either a forward (/) or backward slash (), the MapPath method returns a path as if Path were a full, virtual path.

If Path doesn't start with a slash, the MapPath method returns a path relative to the directory of the request being processed.

Note: in C#, @ is the verbatim literal string operator meaning that the string should be used "as is" and not be processed for escape sequences.

Footnotes

Server.MapPath(null) and Server.MapPath("") will produce this effect too.

How to make an inline element appear on new line, or block element not occupy the whole line?

You can give it a property display block; so it will behave like a div and have its own line

Making a UITableView scroll when text field is selected

I just looked again into the iOS 5.0 lib reference and found this section titled "Moving Content That Is Located Under the Keyboard": TextAndWebiPhoneOS KeyboardManagement

Is this new since iOS 5, perhaps? I haven't read into it yet as I'm in the middle of something else, but perhaps others know more and can enlighten me and others here.

Does the Apple doc supersede what's been discussed here or is the information here still useful to iOS 5 SDK users?

Drop a temporary table if it exists

What you asked for is:

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##CLIENTS_KEYWORD') IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
       DROP TABLE ##CLIENTS_KEYWORD

       CREATE TABLE ##CLIENTS_KEYWORD(client_id int)

    END
ELSE
   CREATE TABLE ##CLIENTS_KEYWORD(client_id int) 

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD') IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
       DROP TABLE ##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD

       CREATE TABLE ##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD(client_id int)

    END
ELSE
   CREATE TABLE ##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD(client_id int) 

Since you're always going to create the table, regardless of whether the table is deleted or not; a slightly optimised solution is:

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##CLIENTS_KEYWORD') IS NOT NULL
   DROP TABLE ##CLIENTS_KEYWORD

CREATE TABLE ##CLIENTS_KEYWORD(client_id int) 

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD') IS NOT NULL
   DROP TABLE ##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD

CREATE TABLE ##TEMP_CLIENTS_KEYWORD(client_id int) 

How do I draw a circle in iOS Swift?

A simple function drawing a circle on the middle of your window frame, using a multiplicator percentage

/// CGFloat is a multiplicator from self.view.frame.width
func drawCircle(withMultiplicator coefficient: CGFloat) {

    let radius = self.view.frame.width / 2 * coefficient

    let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: self.view.center, radius: radius, startAngle: CGFloat(0), endAngle:CGFloat(Double.pi * 2), clockwise: true)
    let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
    shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath

    //change the fill color
    shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
    shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.darkGray.cgColor
    shapeLayer.lineWidth = 2.0

    view.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
}

Checking for NULL pointer in C/C++

Actually, I use both variants.

There are situations, where you first check for the validity of a pointer, and if it is NULL, you just return/exit out of a function. (I know this can lead to the discussion "should a function have only one exit point")

Most of the time, you check the pointer, then do what you want and then resolve the error case. The result can be the ugly x-times indented code with multiple if's.

How to step through Python code to help debug issues?

Python Tutor is an online single-step debugger meant for novices. You can put in code on the edit page then click "Visualize Execution" to start it running.

Among other things, it supports:

However it also doesn't support a lot of things, for example:

  • Reading/writing files - use io.StringIO and io.BytesIO instead: demo
  • Code that is too large, runs too long, or defines too many variables or objects
  • Command-line arguments
  • Lots of standard library modules like argparse, csv, enum, html, os, struct, weakref...

Angular 4 checkbox change value

This it what you are looking for:

<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="isChecked" (change)="checkValue(isChecked?'A':'B')" />

Inside your class:

checkValue(event: any){

}

Also include FormsModule in app.module.ts to make ngModel work !

Hope it Helps!

warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘xyz’

I met these warnings on mempcpy function. Man page says this function is a GNU extension and synopsis shows:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h>

When #define is added to my source before the #include, declarations for the GNU extensions are made visible and warnings disappear.

CGContextDrawImage draws image upside down when passed UIImage.CGImage

I use this Swift 5, pure Core Graphics extension that correctly handles non-zero origins in image rects:

extension CGContext {

    /// Draw `image` flipped vertically, positioned and scaled inside `rect`.
    public func drawFlipped(_ image: CGImage, in rect: CGRect) {
        self.saveGState()
        self.translateBy(x: 0, y: rect.origin.y + rect.height)
        self.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
        self.draw(image, in: CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: rect.origin.x, y: 0), size: rect.size))
        self.restoreGState()
    }
}

You can use it exactly like CGContext's regular draw(: in:) method:

ctx.drawFlipped(myImage, in: myRect)

Help with packages in java - import does not work

The standard Java classloader is a stickler for directory structure. Each entry in the classpath is a directory or jar file (or zip file, really), which it then searches for the given class file. For example, if your classpath is ".;my.jar", it will search for com.example.Foo in the following locations:

./com/example/
my.jar:/com/example/

That is, it will look in the subdirectory that has the 'modified name' of the package, where '.' is replaced with the file separator.

Also, it is noteworthy that you cannot nest .jar files.

jQuery Keypress Arrow Keys

Please refer the link from JQuery

http://api.jquery.com/keypress/

It says

The keypress event is sent to an element when the browser registers keyboard input. This is similar to the keydown event, except that modifier and non-printing keys such as Shift, Esc, and delete trigger keydown events but not keypress events. Other differences between the two events may arise depending on platform and browser.

That means you can not use keypress in case of arrows.

How do I serialize a C# anonymous type to a JSON string?

Please note this is from 2008. Today I would argue that the serializer should be built in and that you can probably use swagger + attributes to inform consumers about your endpoint and return data.


Iwould argue that you shouldn't be serializing an anonymous type. I know the temptation here; you want to quickly generate some throw-away types that are just going to be used in a loosely type environment aka Javascript in the browser. Still, I would create an actual type and decorate it as Serializable. Then you can strongly type your web methods. While this doesn't matter one iota for Javascript, it does add some self-documentation to the method. Any reasonably experienced programmer will be able to look at the function signature and say, "Oh, this is type Foo! I know how that should look in JSON."

Having said that, you might try JSON.Net to do the serialization. I have no idea if it will work

What's the best way to center your HTML email content in the browser window (or email client preview pane)?

table align="center" ... this aligns the table center of page.

Using td align="center" centers the content inside that td, useful for centered aligned text but you will have issues with some email clients centering content in sub level tables so using using td align as a top level method of centering your "container" table on the page is not the way to do it. Use table align instead.

Still use your 100% wrapper table too, purely as a wrapper for the body, as some email clients don't display body background colors but it will show it with the 100% table, so add your body color to both body and the 100% table.

I could go on and on for ages about all the quirks of html email dev. All I can say is test test and test again. Litmus.com is a great tool for testing emails.

The more you do the more you will learn about what works in what email clients.

Hope this helps.

How to process POST data in Node.js?

And if you don't want to use the entire framework like Express, but you also need different kinds of forms, including uploads, then formaline may be a good choice.

C/C++ macro string concatenation

You don't need that sort of solution for string literals, since they are concatenated at the language level, and it wouldn't work anyway because "s""1" isn't a valid preprocessor token.

[Edit: In response to the incorrect "Just for the record" comment below that unfortunately received several upvotes, I will reiterate the statement above and observe that the program fragment

#define PPCAT_NX(A, B) A ## B
PPCAT_NX("s", "1")

produces this error message from the preprocessing phase of gcc: error: pasting ""s"" and ""1"" does not give a valid preprocessing token

]

However, for general token pasting, try this:

/*
 * Concatenate preprocessor tokens A and B without expanding macro definitions
 * (however, if invoked from a macro, macro arguments are expanded).
 */
#define PPCAT_NX(A, B) A ## B

/*
 * Concatenate preprocessor tokens A and B after macro-expanding them.
 */
#define PPCAT(A, B) PPCAT_NX(A, B)

Then, e.g., both PPCAT_NX(s, 1) and PPCAT(s, 1) produce the identifier s1, unless s is defined as a macro, in which case PPCAT(s, 1) produces <macro value of s>1.

Continuing on the theme are these macros:

/*
 * Turn A into a string literal without expanding macro definitions
 * (however, if invoked from a macro, macro arguments are expanded).
 */
#define STRINGIZE_NX(A) #A

/*
 * Turn A into a string literal after macro-expanding it.
 */
#define STRINGIZE(A) STRINGIZE_NX(A)

Then,

#define T1 s
#define T2 1
STRINGIZE(PPCAT(T1, T2)) // produces "s1"

By contrast,

STRINGIZE(PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)) // produces "T1T2"
STRINGIZE_NX(PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)) // produces "PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)"

#define T1T2 visit the zoo
STRINGIZE(PPCAT_NX(T1, T2)) // produces "visit the zoo"
STRINGIZE_NX(PPCAT(T1, T2)) // produces "PPCAT(T1, T2)"

Join vs. sub-query

As per my observation like two cases, if a table has less then 100,000 records then the join will work fast.

But in the case that a table has more than 100,000 records then a subquery is best result.

I have one table that has 500,000 records on that I created below query and its result time is like

SELECT * 
FROM crv.workorder_details wd 
inner join  crv.workorder wr on wr.workorder_id = wd.workorder_id;

Result : 13.3 Seconds

select * 
from crv.workorder_details 
where workorder_id in (select workorder_id from crv.workorder)

Result : 1.65 Seconds

S3 - Access-Control-Allow-Origin Header

First, activate CORS in your S3 bucket. Use this code as a guidance:

<CORSConfiguration>
 <CORSRule>
   <AllowedOrigin>http://www.example1.com</AllowedOrigin>

   <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
   <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
   <AllowedMethod>DELETE</AllowedMethod>

   <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
 </CORSRule>
 <CORSRule>
   <AllowedOrigin>http://www.example2.com</AllowedOrigin>

   <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
   <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
   <AllowedMethod>DELETE</AllowedMethod>

   <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
 </CORSRule>
 <CORSRule>
   <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
   <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
 </CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

2) If it still not working, make sure to also add a "crossorigin" with a "*" value to your img tags. Put this in your html file:

  let imagenes = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
    for (let i = 0; i < imagenes.length; i++) {
      imagenes[i].setAttribute("crossorigin", "*");

You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity

In my case i have no values-v21 file in my res directory. Then i created it and added in it following codes:

  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

Tkinter scrollbar for frame

"Am i doing it right?Is there better/smarter way to achieve the output this code gave me?"

Generally speaking, yes, you're doing it right. Tkinter has no native scrollable container other than the canvas. As you can see, it's really not that difficult to set up. As your example shows, it only takes 5 or 6 lines of code to make it work -- depending on how you count lines.

"Why must i use grid method?(i tried place method, but none of the labels appear on the canvas?)"

You ask about why you must use grid. There is no requirement to use grid. Place, grid and pack can all be used. It's simply that some are more naturally suited to particular types of problems. In this case it looks like you're creating an actual grid -- rows and columns of labels -- so grid is the natural choice.

"What so special about using anchor='nw' when creating window on canvas?"

The anchor tells you what part of the window is positioned at the coordinates you give. By default, the center of the window will be placed at the coordinate. In the case of your code above, you want the upper left ("northwest") corner to be at the coordinate.

How to clear all input fields in bootstrap modal when clicking data-dismiss button?

In addition to @Malk, I wanted to clear all fields in the popup, except the hidden fields. To do that just use this:

$('.modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
    $(this)
        .find("input:not([type=hidden]),textarea,select")
        .val('')
        .end()
        .find("input[type=checkbox], input[type=radio]")
        .prop("checked", "")
        .end();
});

This will clear all fields, except the hidden ones.

Ionic android build Error - Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable

In my Case: I have put the correct path for Android and java but still getting the error.

The problem was that I have added the Android platform using sudo command.sudo ionic cordova platform android.

To solve my problem: First I have removed the platform android by running command

sudo ionic cordova platform rm android

then add the android platform again with out sudoionic cordova platform add android but i get the error of permissions.

To resolve the error run command

sudo chmod -R 777 {Path-of-your-project}

in my case sudo chmod -R 777 ~/codebase/IonicProject Then run command

ionic cordova platform add android

or

ionic cordova run android

How to get response as String using retrofit without using GSON or any other library in android

** Update ** A scalars converter has been added to retrofit that allows for a String response with less ceremony than my original answer below.

Example interface --

public interface GitHubService {
    @GET("/users/{user}")
    Call<String> listRepos(@Path("user") String user);
}

Add the ScalarsConverterFactory to your retrofit builder. Note: If using ScalarsConverterFactory and another factory, add the scalars factory first.

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
    .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
    .addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
    // add other factories here, if needed.
    .build();

You will also need to include the scalars converter in your gradle file --

implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.1.0'

--- Original Answer (still works, just more code) ---

I agree with @CommonsWare that it seems a bit odd that you want to intercept the request to process the JSON yourself. Most of the time the POJO has all the data you need, so no need to mess around in JSONObject land. I suspect your specific problem might be better solved using a custom gson TypeAdapter or a retrofit Converter if you need to manipulate the JSON. However, retrofit provides more the just JSON parsing via Gson. It also manages a lot of the other tedious tasks involved in REST requests. Just because you don't want to use one of the features, doesn't mean you have to throw the whole thing out. There are times you just want to get the raw stream, so here is how to do it -

First, if you are using Retrofit 2, you should start using the Call API. Instead of sending an object to convert as the type parameter, use ResponseBody from okhttp --

public interface GitHubService {
    @GET("/users/{user}")
    Call<ResponseBody> listRepos(@Path("user") String user);
}

then you can create and execute your call --

GitHubService service = retrofit.create(GitHubService.class);
Call<ResponseBody> result = service.listRepos(username);
result.enqueue(new Callback<ResponseBody>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Response<ResponseBody> response) {
        try {
            System.out.println(response.body().string());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
});

Note The code above calls string() on the response object, which reads the entire response into a String. If you are passing the body off to something that can ingest streams, you can call charStream() instead. See the ResponseBody docs.

Does Eclipse have line-wrap

Eclipse Neon (4.6), release date June 2016, includes word wrap for text editors. It's disabled by default, and can be activated and deactivated using the key shortcut Alt+Shift+Y (on Mac OS, Cmd-Opt-Y). Some editors also supply a tool bar button for activating word wrap.

why should I make a copy of a data frame in pandas

The primary purpose is to avoid chained indexing and eliminate the SettingWithCopyWarning.

Here chained indexing is something like dfc['A'][0] = 111

The document said chained indexing should be avoided in Returning a view versus a copy. Here is a slightly modified example from that document:

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: dfc = pd.DataFrame({'A':['aaa','bbb','ccc'],'B':[1,2,3]})

In [3]: dfc
Out[3]:
    A   B
0   aaa 1
1   bbb 2
2   ccc 3

In [4]: aColumn = dfc['A']

In [5]: aColumn[0] = 111
SettingWithCopyWarning: 
A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

In [6]: dfc
Out[6]:
    A   B
0   111 1
1   bbb 2
2   ccc 3

Here the aColumn is a view and not a copy from the original DataFrame, so modifying aColumn will cause the original dfc be modified too. Next, if we index the row first:

In [7]: zero_row = dfc.loc[0]

In [8]: zero_row['A'] = 222
SettingWithCopyWarning: 
A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

In [9]: dfc
Out[9]:
    A   B
0   111 1
1   bbb 2
2   ccc 3

This time zero_row is a copy, so the original dfc is not modified.

From these two examples above, we see it's ambiguous whether or not you want to change the original DataFrame. This is especially dangerous if you write something like the following:

In [10]: dfc.loc[0]['A'] = 333
SettingWithCopyWarning: 
A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

In [11]: dfc
Out[11]:
    A   B
0   111 1
1   bbb 2
2   ccc 3

This time it didn't work at all. Here we wanted to change dfc, but we actually modified an intermediate value dfc.loc[0] that is a copy and is discarded immediately. It’s very hard to predict whether the intermediate value like dfc.loc[0] or dfc['A'] is a view or a copy, so it's not guaranteed whether or not original DataFrame will be updated. That's why chained indexing should be avoided, and pandas generates the SettingWithCopyWarning for this kind of chained indexing update.

Now is the use of .copy(). To eliminate the warning, make a copy to express your intention explicitly:

In [12]: zero_row_copy = dfc.loc[0].copy()

In [13]: zero_row_copy['A'] = 444 # This time no warning

Since you are modifying a copy, you know the original dfc will never change and you are not expecting it to change. Your expectation matches the behavior, then the SettingWithCopyWarning disappears.

Note, If you do want to modify the original DataFrame, the document suggests you use loc:

In [14]: dfc.loc[0,'A'] = 555

In [15]: dfc
Out[15]:
    A   B
0   555 1
1   bbb 2
2   ccc 3

How can I change CSS display none or block property using jQuery?

and you can use:

$('#myDIV').hide();
$('#myDIV').show();

OAuth2 and Google API: access token expiration time?

You shouldn't design your application based on specific lifetimes of access tokens. Just assume they are (very) short lived.

However, after a successful completion of the OAuth2 installed application flow, you will get back a refresh token. This refresh token never expires, and you can use it to exchange it for an access token as needed. Save the refresh tokens, and use them to get access tokens on-demand (which should then immediately be used to get access to user data).

EDIT: My comments above notwithstanding, there are two easy ways to get the access token expiration time:

  1. It is a parameter in the response (expires_in)when you exchange your refresh token (using /o/oauth2/token endpoint). More details.
  2. There is also an API that returns the remaining lifetime of the access_token:

    https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token={accessToken}

    This will return a json array that will contain an expires_in parameter, which is the number of seconds left in the lifetime of the token.

How to sort 2 dimensional array by column value?

As my usecase involves dozens of columns, I expanded @jahroy's answer a bit. (also just realized @charles-clayton had the same idea.)
I pass the parameter I want to sort by, and the sort function is redefined with the desired index for the comparison to take place on.

var ID_COLUMN=0
var URL_COLUMN=1

findings.sort(compareByColumnIndex(URL_COLUMN))

function compareByColumnIndex(index) {
  return function(a,b){
    if (a[index] === b[index]) {
        return 0;
    }
    else {
        return (a[index] < b[index]) ? -1 : 1;
    }
  }
}

To move down the parse tree you have contents and string.

  • contents is an ordered list of the Tag and NavigableString objects contained within a page element

  • if a tag has only one child node, and that child node is a string, the child node is made available as tag.string, as well as tag.contents[0]

For the above, that is to say you can get

soup.b.string
# u'one'
soup.b.contents[0]
# u'one'

For several children nodes, you can have for instance

pTag = soup.p
pTag.contents
# [u'This is paragraph ', <b>one</b>, u'.']

so here you may play with contents and get contents at the index you want.

You also can iterate over a Tag, this is a shortcut. For instance,

for i in soup.body:
    print i
# <p id="firstpara" align="center">This is paragraph <b>one</b>.</p>
# <p id="secondpara" align="blah">This is paragraph <b>two</b>.</p>

Does .NET provide an easy way convert bytes to KB, MB, GB, etc.?

I would solve it using Extension methods, Math.Pow function and Enums:

public static class MyExtension
{
    public enum SizeUnits
    {
        Byte, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, YB
    }

    public static string ToSize(this Int64 value, SizeUnits unit)
    {
        return (value / (double)Math.Pow(1024, (Int64)unit)).ToString("0.00");
    }
}

and use it like:

string h = x.ToSize(MyExtension.SizeUnits.KB);

How to Install Windows Phone 8 SDK on Windows 7

You can install it by first extracting all the files from the ISO and then overwriting those files with the files from the ZIP. Then you can run the batch file as administrator to do the installation. Most of the packages install on windows 7, but I haven't tested yet how well they work.

javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Class *** nor any of its super class is known to this context

JAX-RS implementations automatically support marshalling/unmarshalling of classes based on discoverable JAXB annotations, but because your payload is declared as Object, I think the created JAXBContext misses the Department class and when it's time to marshall it it doesn't know how.

A quick and dirty fix would be to add a XmlSeeAlso annotation to your response class:

@XmlRootElement
@XmlSeeAlso({Department.class})
public class Response implements Serializable {
  ....

or something a little more complicated would be "to enrich" the JAXB context for the Response class by using a ContextResolver:

import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.ContextResolver;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;

@Provider
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML })
public class ResponseResolver implements ContextResolver<JAXBContext> {
    private JAXBContext ctx;

    public ResponseResolver() {
        try {
            this.ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(

                        Response.class, 
                        Department.class

                    );
        } catch (JAXBException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(ex);
        }
    }

    public JAXBContext getContext(Class<?> type) {
        return (type.equals(Response.class) ? ctx : null);
    }
}

Pass PDO prepared statement to variables

You could do $stmt->queryString to obtain the SQL query used in the statement. If you want to save the entire $stmt variable (I can't see why), you could just copy it. It is an instance of PDOStatement so there is apparently no advantage in storing it.

Difference between null and empty string

String s1 = ""; means that the empty String is assigned to s1. In this case, s1.length() is the same as "".length(), which will yield 0 as expected.

String s2 = null; means that (null) or "no value at all" is assigned to s2. So this one, s2.length() is the same as null.length(), which will yield a NullPointerException as you can't call methods on null variables (pointers, sort of) in Java.

Also, a point, the statement

String s1;

Actually has the same effect as:

String s1 = null;

Whereas

String s1 = "";

Is, as said, a different thing.

Git: How to find a deleted file in the project commit history?

If you prefer to see the size of all deleted file

as well as the associated SHA

git log --all --stat --diff-filter=D --oneline

add a -p to see the contents too

git log --all --stat --diff-filter=D -p

To narrow down to any file simply pipe to grep and search for file name

git log --all --stat --diff-filter=D --oneline | grep someFileName

You might also like this one if you know where the file is

git log --all --full-history -- someFileName

Import MySQL database into a MS SQL Server

I had a very similar issue today - I needed to copy a big table(5 millions rows) from MySql into MS SQL.

Here are the steps I've done(under Ubuntu Linux):

  1. Created a table in MS SQL which structure matches the source table in MySql.

  2. Installed MS SQL command line: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-tools#ubuntu

  3. Dumped table from MySql to a file:

mysqldump \
    --compact \
    --complete-insert \
    --no-create-info \
    --compatible=mssql \
    --extended-insert=FALSE \
    --host "$MYSQL_HOST" \
    --user "$MYSQL_USER" \
    -p"$MYSQL_PASS" \
    "$MYSQL_DB" \
    "$TABLE" > "$FILENAME"
  1. In my case the dump file was quite large, so I decided to split it into a number of small pieces(1000 lines each) - split --lines=1000 "$FILENAME" part-

  2. Finally I iterated over these small files, did some text replacements, and executed the pieces one by one against MS SQL server:

export SQLCMD=/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd

x=0

for file in part-*
do
  echo "Exporting file [$file] into MS SQL. $x thousand(s) processed"

  # replaces \' with ''
  sed -i "s/\\\'/''/g" "$file"

  # removes all "
  sed -i 's/"//g' "$file"

  # allows to insert records with specified PK(id)
  sed -i "1s/^/SET IDENTITY_INSERT $TABLE ON;\n/" "$file"

  "$SQLCMD" -S "$AZURE_SERVER" -d "$AZURE_DB" -U "$AZURE_USER" -P "$AZURE_PASS" -i "$file"
  echo ""
  echo ""

  x=$((x+1))
done

echo "Done"

Of course you'll need to replace my variables like $AZURE_SERVER, $TABLE , e.t.c. with yours.

Hope that helps.

How can I force users to access my page over HTTPS instead of HTTP?

maybe this one can help, you, that's how I did for my website, it works like a charm :

$protocol = $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_VISITOR"];

if (!strstr($protocol, 'https')){
    header("Location: https://" . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
    exit();
}

How to remove commits from a pull request

If you're removing a commit and don't want to keep its changes @ferit has a good solution.

If you want to add that commit to the current branch, but doesn't make sense to be part of the current pr, you can do the following instead:

  1. use git rebase -i HEAD~n
  2. Swap the commit you want to remove to the bottom (most recent) position
  3. Save and exit
  4. use git reset HEAD^ --soft to uncommit the changes and get them back in a staged state.
  5. use git push --force to update the remote branch without your removed commit.

Now you'll have removed the commit from your remote, but will still have the changes locally.

How to include scripts located inside the node_modules folder?

The directory 'node_modules' may not be in current directory, so you should resolve the path dynamically.

var bootstrap_dir = require.resolve('bootstrap')

app.use('/scripts', express.static(bootstrap_dir + 'dist/'));

Convert Uri to String and String to Uri

I am not sure if you got this resolved. To follow up on "CommonsWare's" comment.

That is not a valid string representation of a Uri. A Uri has a scheme, and "/external/images/media/470939" does not have a scheme.

Change

Uri uri=Uri.parse("/external/images/media/470939");

to

Uri uri=Uri.parse("content://external/images/media/470939");

in my case

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/media/6562");

Is Spring annotation @Controller same as @Service?

@Service vs @Controller

@Service : class is a "Business Service Facade" (in the Core J2EE patterns sense), or something similar.

@Controller : Indicates that an annotated class is a "Controller" (e.g. a web controller).

----------Find Usefull notes on Major Stereotypes http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/stereotype/Component.html

@interface Component

  @Target(value=TYPE)
     @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
     @Documented
    public @interface Component

Indicates that an annotated class is a component. Such classes are considered as candidates for auto-detection when using annotation-based configuration and classpath scanning.

Other class-level annotations may be considered as identifying a component as well, typically a special kind of component: e.g. the @Repository annotation or AspectJ's @Aspect annotation.

@interface Controller

@Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Component
public @interface Controller

Indicates that an annotated class is a "Controller" (e.g. a web controller).

This annotation serves as a specialization of @Component, allowing for implementation classes to be autodetected through classpath scanning. It is typically used in combination with annotated handler methods based on the RequestMapping annotation.

@interface Service

@Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Component
public @interface Service

Indicates that an annotated class is a "Service", originally defined by Domain-Driven Design (Evans, 2003) as "an operation offered as an interface that stands alone in the model, with no encapsulated state." May also indicate that a class is a "Business Service Facade" (in the Core J2EE patterns sense), or something similar. This annotation is a general-purpose stereotype and individual teams may narrow their semantics and use as appropriate.

This annotation serves as a specialization of @Component, allowing for implementation classes to be autodetected through classpath scanning.

@interface Repository

@Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Component
public @interface Repository

Indicates that an annotated class is a "Repository", originally defined by Domain-Driven Design (Evans, 2003) as "a mechanism for encapsulating storage, retrieval, and search behavior which emulates a collection of objects". Teams implementing traditional J2EE patterns such as "Data Access Object" may also apply this stereotype to DAO classes, though care should be taken to understand the distinction between Data Access Object and DDD-style repositories before doing so. This annotation is a general-purpose stereotype and individual teams may narrow their semantics and use as appropriate.

A class thus annotated is eligible for Spring DataAccessException translation when used in conjunction with a PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor. The annotated class is also clarified as to its role in the overall application architecture for the purpose of tooling, aspects, etc.

As of Spring 2.5, this annotation also serves as a specialization of @Component, allowing for implementation classes to be autodetected through classpath scanning.

How does MySQL process ORDER BY and LIMIT in a query?

The LIMIT clause can be used to constrain the number of rows returned by the SELECT statement. LIMIT takes one or two numeric arguments, which must both be nonnegative integer constants (except when using prepared statements).

With two arguments, the first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, and the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return. The offset of the initial row is 0 (not 1):

SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 5,10; # Retrieve rows 6-15

To retrieve all rows from a certain offset up to the end of the result set, you can use some large number for the second parameter. This statement retrieves all rows from the 96th row to the last:

SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 95,18446744073709551615;

With one argument, the value specifies the number of rows to return from the beginning of the result set:

SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 5; # Retrieve first 5 rows

In other words, LIMIT row_count is equivalent to LIMIT 0, row_count.

jQuery - Add active class and remove active from other element on click

You alread removed the active class from all the tabs but then you add the active class, again, to all the tabs. You should only add the active class to the currently selected tab like so http://jsfiddle.net/QFnRa/

$(".tab").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");  

How do I change Bootstrap 3's glyphicons to white?

Why are Python lambdas useful?

I doubt lambda will go away. See Guido's post about finally giving up trying to remove it. Also see an outline of the conflict.

You might check out this post for more of a history about the deal behind Python's functional features: http://python-history.blogspot.com/2009/04/origins-of-pythons-functional-features.html

Curiously, the map, filter, and reduce functions that originally motivated the introduction of lambda and other functional features have to a large extent been superseded by list comprehensions and generator expressions. In fact, the reduce function was removed from list of builtin functions in Python 3.0. (However, it's not necessary to send in complaints about the removal of lambda, map or filter: they are staying. :-)

My own two cents: Rarely is lambda worth it as far as clarity goes. Generally there is a more clear solution that doesn't include lambda.

Javascript Click on Element by Class

If you want to click on all elements selected by some class, you can use this example (used on last.fm on the Loved tracks page to Unlove all).

var divs = document.querySelectorAll('.love-button.love-button--loved'); 

for (i = 0; i < divs.length; ++i) {
  divs[i].click();
};

With ES6 and Babel (cannot be run in the browser console directly)

[...document.querySelectorAll('.love-button.love-button--loved')]
   .forEach(div => { div.click(); })

How to create a vector of user defined size but with no predefined values?

   arr[x] = x;

History or log of commands executed in Git

A log of your commands may be available in your shell history.

history

If seeing the list of executed commands fly by isn't for you, export the list into a file.

history > path/to/file

You can restrict the exported dump to only show commands with "git" in them by piping it with grep

history | grep "git " > path/to/file

The history may contain lines formatted as such

518  git status -s
519  git commit -am "injects sriracha to all toppings, as required"

Using the number you can re-execute the command with an exclamation mark

$ !518
git status -s

What is a good game engine that uses Lua?

Importing modules from parent folder

Here is an answer that's simple so you can see how it works, small and cross-platform.
It only uses built-in modules (os, sys and inspect) so should work
on any operating system (OS) because Python is designed for that.

Shorter code for answer - fewer lines and variables

from inspect import getsourcefile
import os.path as path, sys
current_dir = path.dirname(path.abspath(getsourcefile(lambda:0)))
sys.path.insert(0, current_dir[:current_dir.rfind(path.sep)])
import my_module  # Replace "my_module" here with the module name.
sys.path.pop(0)

For less lines than this, replace the second line with import os.path as path, sys, inspect,
add inspect. at the start of getsourcefile (line 3) and remove the first line.
- however this imports all of the module so could need more time, memory and resources.

The code for my answer (longer version)

from inspect import getsourcefile
import os.path
import sys

current_path = os.path.abspath(getsourcefile(lambda:0))
current_dir = os.path.dirname(current_path)
parent_dir = current_dir[:current_dir.rfind(os.path.sep)]

sys.path.insert(0, parent_dir)

import my_module  # Replace "my_module" here with the module name.

It uses an example from a Stack Overflow answer How do I get the path of the current
executed file in Python?
to find the source (filename) of running code with a built-in tool.

from inspect import getsourcefile  
from os.path import abspath  

Next, wherever you want to find the source file from you just use:

abspath(getsourcefile(lambda:0))

My code adds a file path to sys.path, the python path list
because this allows Python to import modules from that folder.

After importing a module in the code, it's a good idea to run sys.path.pop(0) on a new line
when that added folder has a module with the same name as another module that is imported
later in the program. You need to remove the list item added before the import, not other paths.
If your program doesn't import other modules, it's safe to not delete the file path because
after a program ends (or restarting the Python shell), any edits made to sys.path disappear.

Notes about a filename variable

My answer doesn't use the __file__ variable to get the file path/filename of running
code because users here have often described it as unreliable. You shouldn't use it
for importing modules from parent folder in programs used by other people.

Some examples where it doesn't work (quote from this Stack Overflow question):

• it can't be found on some platforms • it sometimes isn't the full file path

  • py2exe doesn't have a __file__ attribute, but there is a workaround
  • When you run from IDLE with execute() there is no __file__ attribute
  • OS X 10.6 where I get NameError: global name '__file__' is not defined

Cannot instantiate the type List<Product>

Use a concrete list type, e.g. ArrayList instead of just List.

AddRange to a Collection

Remember that each Add will check the capacity of the collection and resize it whenever necessary (slower). With AddRange, the collection will be set the capacity and then added the items (faster). This extension method will be extremely slow, but will work.

What's the easiest way to escape HTML in Python?

cgi.escape should be good to escape HTML in the limited sense of escaping the HTML tags and character entities.

But you might have to also consider encoding issues: if the HTML you want to quote has non-ASCII characters in a particular encoding, then you would also have to take care that you represent those sensibly when quoting. Perhaps you could convert them to entities. Otherwise you should ensure that the correct encoding translations are done between the "source" HTML and the page it's embedded in, to avoid corrupting the non-ASCII characters.

Print page numbers on pages when printing html

As @page with pagenumbers don't work in browsers for now I was looking for alternatives.
I've found an answer posted by Oliver Kohll.
I'll repost it here so everyone could find it more easily:
For this answer we are not using @page, which is a pure CSS answer, but work in FireFox 20+ versions. Here is the link of an example.
The CSS is:

#content {
    display: table;
}

#pageFooter {
    display: table-footer-group;
}

#pageFooter:after {
    counter-increment: page;
    content: counter(page);
}

And the HTML code is:

<div id="content">
  <div id="pageFooter">Page </div>
  multi-page content here...
</div>

This way you can customize your page number by editing parametrs to #pageFooter. My example:

#pageFooter:after {
    counter-increment: page;
    content:"Page " counter(page);
    left: 0; 
    top: 100%;
    white-space: nowrap; 
    z-index: 20;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px; 
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;  
    background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #cccccc);  
  }

This trick worked for me fine. Hope it will help you.

How do I log errors and warnings into a file?

Simply put these codes at top of your PHP/index file:

error_reporting(E_ALL); // Error/Exception engine, always use E_ALL

ini_set('ignore_repeated_errors', TRUE); // always use TRUE

ini_set('display_errors', FALSE); // Error/Exception display, use FALSE only in production environment or real server. Use TRUE in development environment

ini_set('log_errors', TRUE); // Error/Exception file logging engine.
ini_set('error_log', 'your/path/to/errors.log'); // Logging file path

Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier

this fails:

 DECLARE @vPortalUID NVARCHAR(32)
 SET @vPortalUID='2A66057D-F4E5-4E2B-B2F1-38C51A96D385'
 DECLARE @nPortalUID AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
 SET @nPortalUID = CAST(@vPortalUID AS uniqueidentifier)
 PRINT @nPortalUID

this works

 DECLARE @vPortalUID NVARCHAR(36)
 SET @vPortalUID='2A66057D-F4E5-4E2B-B2F1-38C51A96D385'
 DECLARE @nPortalUID AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
 SET @nPortalUID = CAST(@vPortalUID AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER)
 PRINT @nPortalUID

the difference is NVARCHAR(36), your input parameter is too small!

How do I replace part of a string in PHP?

Sharing url link does not show thumbnail image on facebook

Your meta tag should look like this:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/rock.jpg"/>

And it has to be placed on the page you want to share (this is unclear in your question).

If you have shared the page before the image (or the meta tag) was present, then it is possible, that facebook has the page in its "memory" without an image. In this case simply enter the URL of your page in the debug tool http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug. After that, the image should be present when the page is shared the next time.

Difference of keywords 'typename' and 'class' in templates?

While there is no technical difference, I have seen the two used to denote slightly different things.

For a template that should accept any type as T, including built-ins (such as an array )

template<typename T>
class Foo { ... }

For a template that will only work where T is a real class.

template<class T>
class Foo { ... }

But keep in mind that this is purely a style thing some people use. Not mandated by the standard or enforced by compilers

Faster way to zero memory than with memset?

memset could be inlined by compiler as a series of efficient opcodes, unrolled for a few cycles. For very large memory blocks, like 4000x2000 64bit framebuffer, you can try optimizing it across several threads (which you prepare for that sole task), each setting its own part. Note that there is also bzero(), but it is more obscure, and less likely to be as optimized as memset, and the compiler will surely notice you pass 0.

What compiler usually assumes, is that you memset large blocks, so for smaller blocks it would likely be more efficient to just do *(uint64_t*)p = 0, if you init large number of small objects.

Generally, all x86 CPUs are different (unless you compile for some standardized platform), and something you optimize for Pentium 2 will behave differently on Core Duo or i486. So if you really into it and want to squeeze the last few bits of toothpaste, it makes sense to ship several versions your exe compiled and optimized for different popular CPU models. From personal experience Clang -march=native boosted my game's FPS from 60 to 65, compared to no -march.

pandas dataframe convert column type to string or categorical

With pandas >= 1.0 there is now a dedicated string datatype:

1) You can convert your column to this pandas string datatype using .astype('string'):

df['zipcode'] = df['zipcode'].astype('string')

2) This is different from using str which sets the pandas object datatype:

df['zipcode'] = df['zipcode'].astype(str)

3) For changing into categorical datatype use:

df['zipcode'] = df['zipcode'].astype('category')

You can see this difference in datatypes when you look at the info of the dataframe:

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'zipcode_str': [90210, 90211] ,
    'zipcode_string': [90210, 90211],
    'zipcode_category': [90210, 90211],
})

df['zipcode_str'] = df['zipcode_str'].astype(str)
df['zipcode_string'] = df['zipcode_str'].astype('string')
df['zipcode_category'] = df['zipcode_category'].astype('category')

df.info()

# you can see that the first column has dtype object
# while the second column has the new dtype string
# the third column has dtype category
 #   Column            Non-Null Count  Dtype   
---  ------            --------------  -----   
 0   zipcode_str       2 non-null      object  
 1   zipcode_string    2 non-null      string  
 2   zipcode_category  2 non-null      category
dtypes: category(1), object(1), string(1)

The 'string' extension type solves several issues with object-dtype NumPy arrays:

  1. You can accidentally store a mixture of strings and non-strings in an object dtype array. A StringArray can only store strings.

  2. object dtype breaks dtype-specific operations like DataFrame.select_dtypes(). There isn’t a clear way to select just text while excluding non-text, but still object-dtype columns.

  3. When reading code, the contents of an object dtype array is less clear than string.

More info on working with the new string datatype can be found here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/text.html

SVN Commit failed, access forbidden

Actually, I had this problem same as you. You can get the "Forbidden" error if your commit includes different directories ; Like external items.

And i solved in one step. Just commit external items in another case.

Additionally, I advise you to read articles on External Items in Subversion and VisualSVN Server:

VisualSVN Team's article about Daily Use Guide External Items. It explains the principles of External Items in SVN.
