Programs & Examples On #Pyinstaller

PyInstaller is a multi-platform tool designed to convert Python (.py) files into stand-alone executable files in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, Solaris, and AIX.

Pyinstaller setting icons don't change

I know this is old and whatnot (and not exactly sure if it's a question), but after searching, I had success with this command for --onefile:

pyinstaller.exe --onefile --windowed --icon=app.ico app.py

Google led me to this page while I was searching for an answer on how to set an icon for my .exe, so maybe it will help someone else.

The information here was found at this site: https://mborgerson.com/creating-an-executable-from-a-python-script

Windows- Pyinstaller Error "failed to execute script " When App Clicked

In my case i have a main.py that have dependencies with other files. After I build that app with py installer using this command:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed main.py

I got the main.exe inside dist folder. I double clicked on this file, and I raised the error mentioned above. To fix this, I just copy the main.exe from dist directory to previous directory, which is the root directory of my main.py and the dependency files, and I got no error after run the main.exe.

Bundling data files with PyInstaller (--onefile)

All of the other answers use the current working directory in the case where the application is not PyInstalled (i.e. sys._MEIPASS is not set). That is wrong, as it prevents you from running your application from a directory other than the one where your script is.

A better solution:

import sys
import os

def resource_path(relative_path):
    """ Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
    base_path = getattr(sys, '_MEIPASS', os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
    return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)

How to open the terminal in Atom?

There are a number of Atom packages which give you access to the terminal from within Atom. Try a few out to find the best option for you.

Some recommendations which work in Ubuntu (with their primary keyboard shortcuts):

Open a terminal in Atom:

Edit: recommended plugin changed as terminal-plus is no longer maintained. Thanks for the head's-up, @MorganRodgers.

If you want to open a terminal panel in Atom, try atom-ide-terminal. Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-` to open a new terminal instance.

Open an external terminal from Atom:

If you just want a shortcut to open your external terminal from within Atom, try atom-terminal (this is what I use). You can use ctrl-shift-t to open your external terminal in the current file's directory, or alt-shift-t to open the terminal in the project's root directory.

In LINQ, select all values of property X where X != null

get one column in the distinct select and ignore null values:

 var items = db.table.Where(p => p.id!=null).GroupBy(p => p.id)
                                .Select(grp => grp.First().id)
                                .ToList();

How can I ask the Selenium-WebDriver to wait for few seconds in Java?

This thread is a bit older, but thought I'd post what I currently do (work in progress).

Though I'm still hitting situations where the system is under heavy load and when I click a submit button (e.g., login.jsp), all three conditions (see below) return true but the next page (e.g., home.jsp) hasn't started loading yet.

This is a generic wait method that takes a list of ExpectedConditions.

public boolean waitForPageLoad(int waitTimeInSec, ExpectedCondition<Boolean>... conditions) {
    boolean isLoaded = false;
    Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<>(driver)
            .withTimeout(waitTimeInSec, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .ignoring(StaleElementReferenceException.class)
            .pollingEvery(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    for (ExpectedCondition<Boolean> condition : conditions) {
        isLoaded = wait.until(condition);
        if (isLoaded == false) {
            //Stop checking on first condition returning false.
            break;
        }
    }
    return isLoaded;
}

I have defined various reusable ExpectedConditions (three are below). In this example, the three expected conditions include document.readyState = 'complete', no "wait_dialog" present, and no 'spinners' (elements indicating async data is being requested).

Only the first one can be generically applied to all web pages.

/**
 * Returns 'true' if the value of the 'window.document.readyState' via
 * JavaScript is 'complete'
 */
public static final ExpectedCondition<Boolean> EXPECT_DOC_READY_STATE = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
        String script = "if (typeof window != 'undefined' && window.document) { return window.document.readyState; } else { return 'notready'; }";
        Boolean result;
        try {
            result = ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(script).equals("complete");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            result = Boolean.FALSE;
        }
        return result;
    }
};
/**
 * Returns 'true' if there is no 'wait_dialog' element present on the page.
 */
public static final ExpectedCondition<Boolean> EXPECT_NOT_WAITING = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
        Boolean loaded = true;
        try {
            WebElement wait = driver.findElement(By.id("F"));
            if (wait.isDisplayed()) {
                loaded = false;
            }
        } catch (StaleElementReferenceException serex) {
            loaded = false;
        } catch (NoSuchElementException nseex) {
            loaded = true;
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            loaded = false;
            System.out.println("EXPECTED_NOT_WAITING: UNEXPECTED EXCEPTION: " + ex.getMessage());
        }
        return loaded;
    }
};
/**
 * Returns true if there are no elements with the 'spinner' class name.
 */
public static final ExpectedCondition<Boolean> EXPECT_NO_SPINNERS = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
        Boolean loaded = true;
        try {
        List<WebElement> spinners = driver.findElements(By.className("spinner"));
        for (WebElement spinner : spinners) {
            if (spinner.isDisplayed()) {
                loaded = false;
                break;
            }
        }
        }catch (Exception ex) {
            loaded = false;
        }
        return loaded;
    }
};

Depending on the page, I may use one or all of them:

waitForPageLoad(timeoutInSec,
            EXPECT_DOC_READY_STATE,
            EXPECT_NOT_WAITING,
            EXPECT_NO_SPINNERS
    );

There are also predefined ExpectedConditions in the following class: org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions

IntelliJ cannot find any declarations

Same Problem for Python Project!!!

I tried to make a clean new intellij project and updated everything. Tried different virtualenvs but nothing worked out.

UNTIL I uninstalled the Python Plugin + Restart IntelliJ + Intall Python Plugin + Restart IntelliJ again. I'm not sure if this is a "real" solution, but it solved my issue.

Maybe you can try something familar for Java "Plugin"/JDK?

Bubble Sort Homework

Your use of the Unsorted variable is wrong; you want to have a variable that tells you if you have swapped two elements; if you have done that, you can exit your loop, otherwise, you need to loop again. To fix what you've got here, just put the "unsorted = false" in the body of your if case; remove your else case; and put "unsorted = true before your for loop.

Creating new database from a backup of another Database on the same server?

Think of it like an archive. MyDB.Bak contains MyDB.mdf and MyDB.ldf.

Restore with Move to say HerDB basically grabs MyDB.mdf (and ldf) from the back up, and copies them as HerDB.mdf and ldf.

So if you already had a MyDb on the server instance you are restoring to it wouldn't be touched.

What is the difference between a static and a non-static initialization code block

You will not write code into a static block that needs to be invoked anywhere in your program. If the purpose of the code is to be invoked then you must place it in a method.

You can write static initializer blocks to initialize static variables when the class is loaded but this code can be more complex..

A static initializer block looks like a method with no name, no arguments, and no return type. Since you never call it it doesn't need a name. The only time its called is when the virtual machine loads the class.

What is “2's Complement”?

In simple term 2's Complement is a way to store negative number in Computer Memory. Whereas Positive Numbers are stored as Normal Binary Number.

Let's consider this example,

Computer uses Binary Number System to represent any number.

x = 5;

This is represented as 0101.

x = -5;

When the computer encouters - sign, it computes it's 2's complement and stores it. i.e 5 = 0101 and it's 2's complement is 1011.

Important rules computer uses to process numbers are,

  1. If the first bit is 1 then it must be negative number.
  2. If all the bits except first bit are 0 then it is a positive number because there is no -0 in number system.(1000 is not -0 instead it is positive 8)
  3. If all the bits are 0 then it is 0.
  4. Else it is a positive number.

How do you read a file into a list in Python?

f = open("file.txt")
lines = f.readlines()

Look over here. readlines() returns a list containing one line per element. Note that these lines contain the \n (newline-character) at the end of the line. You can strip off this newline-character by using the strip()-method. I.e. call lines[index].strip() in order to get the string without the newline character.

As joaquin noted, do not forget to f.close() the file.

Converting strint to integers is easy: int("12").

Exposing the current state name with ui router

Convert long/lat to pixel x/y on a given picture

The translation you are addressing has to do with Map Projection, which is how the spherical surface of our world is translated into a 2 dimensional rendering. There are multiple ways (projections) to render the world on a 2-D surface.

If your maps are using just a specific projection (Mercator being popular), you should be able to find the equations, some sample code, and/or some library (e.g. one Mercator solution - Convert Lat/Longs to X/Y Co-ordinates. If that doesn't do it, I'm sure you can find other samples - https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=mercator. If your images aren't map(s) using a Mercator projection, you'll need to determine what projection it does use to find the right translation equations.

If you are trying to support multiple map projections (you want to support many different maps that use different projections), then you definitely want to use a library like PROJ.4, but again I'm not sure what you'll find for Javascript or PHP.

Disable SSL fallback and use only TLS for outbound connections in .NET? (Poodle mitigation)

If you're curious which protocols .NET supports, you can try HttpClient out on https://www.howsmyssl.com/

// set proxy if you need to
// WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:3128");

File.WriteAllText("howsmyssl-httpclient.html", new HttpClient().GetStringAsync("https://www.howsmyssl.com").Result);

// alternative using WebClient for older framework versions
// new WebClient().DownloadFile("https://www.howsmyssl.com/", "howsmyssl-webclient.html");

The result is damning:

Your client is using TLS 1.0, which is very old, possibly susceptible to the BEAST attack, and doesn't have the best cipher suites available on it. Additions like AES-GCM, and SHA256 to replace MD5-SHA-1 are unavailable to a TLS 1.0 client as well as many more modern cipher suites.

As Eddie explains above, you can enable better protocols manually:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11; 

I don't know why it uses bad protocols out-the-box. That seems a poor setup choice, tantamount to a major security bug (I bet plenty of applications don't change the default). How can we report it?

How to pass boolean values to a PowerShell script from a command prompt

This is an older question, but there is actually an answer to this in the PowerShell documentation. I had the same problem, and for once RTFM actually solved it. Almost.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_powershell_exe

Documentation for the -File parameter states that "In rare cases, you might need to provide a Boolean value for a switch parameter. To provide a Boolean value for a switch parameter in the value of the File parameter, enclose the parameter name and value in curly braces, such as the following: -File .\Get-Script.ps1 {-All:$False}"

I had to write it like this:

PowerShell.Exe -File MyFile.ps1 {-SomeBoolParameter:False}

So no '$' before the true/false statement, and that worked for me, on PowerShell 4.0

Using Helvetica Neue in a Website

They are taking a 'shotgun' approach to referencing the font. The browser will attempt to match each font name with any installed fonts on the user's machine (in the order they have been listed).

In your example "HelveticaNeue-Light" will be tried first, if this font variant is unavailable the browser will try "Helvetica Neue Light" and finally "Helvetica Neue".

As far as I'm aware "Helvetica Neue" isn't considered a 'web safe font', which means you won't be able to rely on it being installed for your entire user base. It is quite common to define "serif" or "sans-serif" as a final default position.

In order to use fonts which aren't 'web safe' you'll need to use a technique known as font embedding. Embedded fonts do not need to be installed on a user's computer, instead they are downloaded as part of the page. Be aware this increases the overall payload (just like an image does) and can have an impact on page load times.

A great resource for free fonts with open-source licenses is Google Fonts. (You should still check individual licenses before using them.) Each font has a download link with instructions on how to embed them in your website.

How to set timeout for a line of c# code

I use something like this (you should add code to deal with the various fails):

    var response = RunTaskWithTimeout<ReturnType>(
        (Func<ReturnType>)delegate { return SomeMethod(someInput); }, 30);


    /// <summary>
    /// Generic method to run a task on a background thread with a specific timeout, if the task fails,
    /// notifies a user
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Return type of function</typeparam>
    /// <param name="TaskAction">Function delegate for task to perform</param>
    /// <param name="TimeoutSeconds">Time to allow before task times out</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private T RunTaskWithTimeout<T>(Func<T> TaskAction, int TimeoutSeconds)
    {
        Task<T> backgroundTask;

        try
        {
            backgroundTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(TaskAction);
            backgroundTask.Wait(new TimeSpan(0, 0, TimeoutSeconds));
        }
        catch (AggregateException ex)
        {
            // task failed
            var failMessage = ex.Flatten().InnerException.Message);
            return default(T);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // task failed
            var failMessage = ex.Message;
            return default(T);
        }

        if (!backgroundTask.IsCompleted)
        {
            // task timed out
            return default(T);
        }

        // task succeeded
        return backgroundTask.Result;
    }

How to check ASP.NET Version loaded on a system?

You can use

<%
Response.Write("Version: " + System.Environment.Version.ToString());

What is the easiest way to install BLAS and LAPACK for scipy?

I got this problem on freeBSD. It seems lapack packages are missing, I solved it installing them (as root) with:

I imagine it could work on other system too using the appropriate package installer (e.g. apt-get)

How can I make a program wait for a variable change in javascript?

The question was posted long time ago, many answers pool the target periodically and produces unnecessary waste of resources if the target is unchanged. In addition, most answers do not block the program while waiting for changes as required by the original post.

We can now apply a solution that is purely event-driven.

The solution uses onClick event to deliver event triggered by value change.

The solution can be run on modern browsers that support Promise and async/await. If you are using Node.js, consider EventEmitter as a better solution.

How to tell a Mockito mock object to return something different the next time it is called?

For Anyone using spy() and the doReturn() instead of the when() method:

what you need to return different object on different calls is this:

doReturn(obj1).doReturn(obj2).when(this.spyFoo).someMethod();

.

For classic mocks:

when(this.mockFoo.someMethod()).thenReturn(obj1, obj2);

or with an exception being thrown:

when(mockFoo.someMethod())
        .thenReturn(obj1)
        .thenThrow(new IllegalArgumentException())
        .thenReturn(obj2, obj3);

How do you use colspan and rowspan in HTML tables?

If you're confused how table layouts work, they basically start at x=0, y=0 and work their way across. Let's explain with graphics, because they're so much fun!

When you start a table, you make a grid. Your first row and cell will be in the top left corner. Think of it like an array pointer, moving to the right with each incremented value of x, and moving down with each incremented value of y.

For your first row, you're only defining two cells. One spans 2 rows down and one spans 4 columns across. So when you reach the end of your first row, it looks something like this:

Preview #0001

<table>
    <tr>
        <td rowspan="2"></td>
        <td colspan="4"></td>
    </tr>
</table>

Now that the row has ended, the "array pointer" jumps down to the next row. Since x position 0 is already taken up by a previous cell, x jumps to position 1 to start filling in cells. * See note about difference between rowspans.

This row has four cells in it which are all 1x1 blocks, filling in the same width of the row above it.

Preview #0002

<table>
    <tr>
        <td rowspan="2"></td>
        <td colspan="4"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
    </tr>
</table>

The next row is all 1x1 cells. But, for example, what if you added an extra cell? Well, it would just pop off the edge to the right.

Preview #0003

<table>
    <tr>
        <td rowspan="2"></td>
        <td colspan="4"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td></td>

* But what if we instead (rather than adding the extra cell) made all these cells have a rowspan of 2? The thing you need to consider here is that even though you're not going to be adding any more cells in the next row, the row still must exist (even though it's an empty row). If you did try to add new cells in the row immediately after, you'd notice that it would start adding them to the end of the bottom row.

PDOException “could not find driver”

I spent the last day trying to figure out why I was getting the following error. I am running Ubuntu 14.04.

The Problem:
I noticed that my PHP-CLI version was running php7.0 but php_info() (the web version) was displaying php 5.5.9. Even though php_info() said pdo was enabled, using the command line (CLI) wasn't recognizing the pdo_mysql command. It turns out that mysql was enabled for my old version but not the CLI version. All I did was install mysql for php7.0 and it was able to work.

This is what worked:

To check the version:

php -v

To install mysql for php7.0

sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql

1) make sure your CLI version is the same as your web version
2) If they are different, make sure your CLI version has the mysql plug-in since it doesn't come with it as a default.

Spring Boot: Is it possible to use external application.properties files in arbitrary directories with a fat jar?

When you are creating spring boot jar using maven install and you want all the resources like properties file and lib folder to be created outside of jar ...then add the following code inside pom.xml where i am defining the output folder where i want to extract and store the desired resources of jar.

Differences between fork and exec

fork() splits the current process into two processes. Or in other words, your nice linear easy to think of program suddenly becomes two separate programs running one piece of code:

 int pid = fork();

 if (pid == 0)
 {
     printf("I'm the child");
 }
 else
 {
     printf("I'm the parent, my child is %i", pid);
     // here we can kill the child, but that's not very parently of us
 }

This can kind of blow your mind. Now you have one piece of code with pretty much identical state being executed by two processes. The child process inherits all the code and memory of the process that just created it, including starting from where the fork() call just left off. The only difference is the fork() return code to tell you if you are the parent or the child. If you are the parent, the return value is the id of the child.

exec is a bit easier to grasp, you just tell exec to execute a process using the target executable and you don't have two processes running the same code or inheriting the same state. Like @Steve Hawkins says, exec can be used after you forkto execute in the current process the target executable.

Random float number generation

rand() can be used to generate pseudo-random numbers in C++. In combination with RAND_MAX and a little math, you can generate random numbers in any arbitrary interval you choose. This is sufficient for learning purposes and toy programs. If you need truly random numbers with normal distribution, you'll need to employ a more advanced method.


This will generate a number from 0.0 to 1.0, inclusive.

float r = static_cast <float> (rand()) / static_cast <float> (RAND_MAX);

This will generate a number from 0.0 to some arbitrary float, X:

float r2 = static_cast <float> (rand()) / (static_cast <float> (RAND_MAX/X));

This will generate a number from some arbitrary LO to some arbitrary HI:

float r3 = LO + static_cast <float> (rand()) /( static_cast <float> (RAND_MAX/(HI-LO)));

Note that the rand() function will often not be sufficient if you need truly random numbers.


Before calling rand(), you must first "seed" the random number generator by calling srand(). This should be done once during your program's run -- not once every time you call rand(). This is often done like this:

srand (static_cast <unsigned> (time(0)));

In order to call rand or srand you must #include <cstdlib>.

In order to call time, you must #include <ctime>.

How to replace space with comma using sed?

Inside vim, you want to type when in normal (command) mode:

:%s/ /,/g

On the terminal prompt, you can use sed to perform this on a file:

sed -i 's/\ /,/g' input_file

Note: the -i option to sed means "in-place edit", as in that it will modify the input file.

How can I convert String to Int?

int x = Int32.TryParse(TextBoxD1.Text, out x) ? x : 0;

How do I get the number of elements in a list?

In terms of how len() actually works, this is its C implementation:

static PyObject *
builtin_len(PyObject *module, PyObject *obj)
/*[clinic end generated code: output=fa7a270d314dfb6c input=bc55598da9e9c9b5]*/
{
    Py_ssize_t res;

    res = PyObject_Size(obj);
    if (res < 0) {
        assert(PyErr_Occurred());
        return NULL;
    }
    return PyLong_FromSsize_t(res);
}

Py_ssize_t is the maximum length that the object can have. PyObject_Size() is a function that returns the size of an object. If it cannot determine the size of an object, it returns -1. In that case, this code block will be executed:

    if (res < 0) {
        assert(PyErr_Occurred());
        return NULL;
    }

And an exception is raised as a result. Otherwise, this code block will be executed:

    return PyLong_FromSsize_t(res);

res which is a C integer, is converted into a Python int (which is still called a "Long" in the C code because Python 2 had two types for storing integers) and returned.

Convert list of ints to one number?

if the list contains only integer:

reduce(lambda x,y: x*10+y, list)

Python find elements in one list that are not in the other

I used two methods and I found one method useful over other. Here is my answer:

My input data:

crkmod_mpp = ['M13','M18','M19','M24']
testmod_mpp = ['M13','M14','M15','M16','M17','M18','M19','M20','M21','M22','M23','M24']

Method1: np.setdiff1d I like this approach over other because it preserves the position

test= list(np.setdiff1d(testmod_mpp,crkmod_mpp))
print(test)
['M15', 'M16', 'M22', 'M23', 'M20', 'M14', 'M17', 'M21']

Method2: Though it gives same answer as in Method1 but disturbs the order

test = list(set(testmod_mpp).difference(set(crkmod_mpp)))
print(test)
['POA23', 'POA15', 'POA17', 'POA16', 'POA22', 'POA18', 'POA24', 'POA21']

Method1 np.setdiff1d meets my requirements perfectly. This answer for information.

What does DIM stand for in Visual Basic and BASIC?

The Dim keyword is optional, when we are using it with modifiers- Public, Protected, Friend, Protected Friend,Private,Shared,Shadows,Static,ReadOnly etc. e.g. - Static nTotal As Integer

For reference type, we have to use new keyword to create the new instance of the class or structure. e.g. Dim lblTop As New System.Windows.Forms.Label.

Dim statement can be used with out a datatype when you set Option Infer to On. In that case the compiler infers the data type of a variable from the type of its initialization expression. Example :

Option Infer On

Module SampleMod

Sub Main()

 Dim nExpVar = 5

The above statement is equivalent to- Dim nExpVar As Integer

how to get GET and POST variables with JQuery?

Use following function:

var splitUrl = function() {
    var vars = [], hash;
    var url = document.URL.split('?')[0];
    var p = document.URL.split('?')[1];
    if(p != undefined){
        p = p.split('&');
        for(var i = 0; i < p.length; i++){
            hash = p[i].split('=');
            vars.push(hash[1]);
            vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
        }
    }
    vars['url'] = url;
    return vars;
};

and access variables as vars['index'] where 'index' is name of the get variable.

Adding headers when using httpClient.GetAsync

When using GetAsync with the HttpClient you can add the authorization headers like so:

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization 
                         = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", "Your Oauth token");

This does add the authorization header for the lifetime of the HttpClient so is useful if you are hitting one site where the authorization header doesn't change.

How do I set up a private Git repository on GitHub? Is it even possible?

Update (2019, latest)

Since Jan 2019, GitHub allows private repositories for up to three collaborators.

Previous answer:

Here is the comparison for free plans listed by tree main Git Cloud based solutions:

Enter image description here

Here is the comparison for paid plans listed by tree main Git Cloud based solutions:

Enter image description here

Conclusion:

I'm not seeing people mentioning GitLab here, but it seems like the best free private plan for me. I myself am using it with no problems.

GitHub: If you have a student account or want to pay for $7 monthly, GitHub has the biggest community and you can take advantage of it's public repositories, forks, etc.

Bitbucket: If you use other products from Atlassian like Jira or Confluence, Bitbucket works great with them.

GitLab: Everything that I care about (free private repository, number of private repositories, number of collaborators, etc.) are offered for free. This seems like the best choice for me.

Visual Studio debugger error: Unable to start program Specified file cannot be found

I think that what you have to check is:

  1. if the target EXE is correctly configured in the project settings ("command", in the debugging tab). Since all individual projects run when you start debugging it's well possible that only the debugging target for the "ALL" solution is missing, check which project is currently active (you can also select the debugger target by changing the active project).

  2. dependencies (DLLs) are also located at the target debugee directory or can be loaded (you can use the "depends.exe" tool for checking dependencies of an executable or DLL).

is python capable of running on multiple cores?

Python threads cannot take advantage of many cores. This is due to an internal implementation detail called the GIL (global interpreter lock) in the C implementation of python (cPython) which is almost certainly what you use.

The workaround is the multiprocessing module http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/ which was developed for this purpose.

Documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html

(Or use a parallel language.)

How to create a global variable?

Global variables that are defined outside of any method or closure can be scope restricted by using the private keyword.

import UIKit

// MARK: Local Constants

private let changeSegueId = "MasterToChange"
private let bookSegueId   = "MasterToBook"

Select <a> which href ends with some string

$("a[href*=ABC]").addClass('selected');

How do I loop through rows with a data reader in C#?

int count = reader.FieldCount;
while(reader.Read()) {
    for(int i = 0 ; i < count ; i++) {
        Console.WriteLine(reader.GetValue(i));
    }
}

Note; if you have multiple grids, then:

do {
    int count = reader.FieldCount;
    while(reader.Read()) {
        for(int i = 0 ; i < count ; i++) {
            Console.WriteLine(reader.GetValue(i));
        }
    }
} while (reader.NextResult())

How can I suppress the newline after a print statement?

print didn't transition from statement to function until Python 3.0. If you're using older Python then you can suppress the newline with a trailing comma like so:

print "Foo %10s bar" % baz,

In Python, what happens when you import inside of a function?

Might I suggest in general that instead of asking, "Will X improve my performance?" you use profiling to determine where your program is actually spending its time and then apply optimizations according to where you'll get the most benefit?

And then you can use profiling to assure that your optimizations have actually benefited you, too.

Whitespaces in java

If you can use apache.commons.lang in your project, the easiest way would be just to use the method provided there:

public static boolean containsWhitespace(CharSequence seq)

Check whether the given CharSequence contains any whitespace characters.

Parameters:

seq - the CharSequence to check (may be null) 

Returns:

true if the CharSequence is not empty and contains at least 1 whitespace character

It handles empty and null parameters and provides the functionality at a central place.

Android - shadow on text?

You should be able to add the style, like this (taken from source code for Ringdroid):

  <style name="AudioFileInfoOverlayText">
    <item name="android:paddingLeft">4px</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">4px</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
    <item name="android:shadowColor">#000000</item>
    <item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
    <item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
    <item name="android:shadowRadius">1</item>
  </style>

And in your layout, use the style like this:

 <TextView android:id="@+id/info"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       style="@style/AudioFileInfoOverlayText"
       android:gravity="center" />

Edit: the source code can be viewed here: https://github.com/google/ringdroid

Edit2: To set this style programmatically, you'd do something like this (modified from this example to match ringdroid's resources from above)

TextView infoTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.info);
infoTextView.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(),  
       R.style.AudioFileInfoOverlayText);

The signature for setTextAppearance is

public void setTextAppearance (Context context, int resid)

Since: API Level 1
Sets the text color, size, style, hint color, and highlight color from the specified TextAppearance resource.

how to get text from textview

If it is the sum of all the numbers you want, I made a little snippet for you that can handle both + and - using a regex (I left some print-calls in there to help visualise what happens):

    final String string = "  " + 5 + "\n" + "-" + " " + 9+"\n"+"+"+" "+5; //Or get the value from a TextView
    final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(-?).?(\\d+)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);

    System.out.print(string);
    System.out.print('\n');
    int sum = 0;

    while( matcher.find() ){
        System.out.print(matcher.group(1));
        System.out.print(matcher.group(2));
        System.out.print('\n');
        sum += Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1)+matcher.group(2));
    }
    System.out.print("\nSum: "+sum);

This code prints the following:

  5
- 9
+ 5
5
-9
5

Sum: 1

Edit: sorry if I misunderstood your question, it was a little bit unclear what you wanted to do. I assumed you wanted to get the sum of the numbers as an integer rather than a string.

Edit2: to get the numbers separate from each other, do something like this instead:

    final String string = "  " + 5 + "\n" + "-" + " " + 9+"\n"+"+"+" "+5; //Or get the value from a TextView
    final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(-?).?(\\d+)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);
    ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    while( matcher.find() ){
        numbers.add(Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1)+matcher.group(2)));
    }

Comparing strings in Java

Try to use .trim() first, before .equals(), or create a new String var that has these things.

Javascript document.getElementById("id").value returning null instead of empty string when the element is an empty text box

This demo is returning correctly for me in Chrome 14, FF3 and FF5 (with Firebug):

var mytextvalue = document.getElementById("mytext").value;
console.log(mytextvalue == ''); // true
console.log(mytextvalue == null); // false

and changing the console.log to alert, I still get the desired output in IE6.

angular-cli server - how to proxy API requests to another server?

EDIT: THIS NO LONGER WORKS IN CURRENT ANGULAR-CLI

See answer from @imal hasaranga perera for up-to-date solution


The server in angular-cli comes from the ember-cli project. To configure the server, create an .ember-cli file in the project root. Add your JSON config in there:

{
   "proxy": "https://api.example.com"
}

Restart the server and it will proxy all requests there.

For example, I'm making relative requests in my code to /v1/foo/123, which is being picked up at https://api.example.com/v1/foo/123.

You can also use a flag when you start the server: ng serve --proxy https://api.example.com

Current for angular-cli version: 1.0.0-beta.0

Color different parts of a RichTextBox string

I think modifying a "selected text" in a RichTextBox isn't the right way to add colored text. So here a method to add a "color block" :

        Run run = new Run("This is my text");
        run.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red); // My Color
        Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(run);
        MyRichTextBlock.Document.Blocks.Add(paragraph);

From MSDN :

The Blocks property is the content property of RichTextBox. It is a collection of Paragraph elements. Content in each Paragraph element can contain the following elements:

  • Inline

  • InlineUIContainer

  • Run

  • Span

  • Bold

  • Hyperlink

  • Italic

  • Underline

  • LineBreak

So I think you have to split your string depending on parts color, and create as many Run objects as needed.

PDF Blob - Pop up window not showing content

I use AngularJS v1.3.4

HTML:

<button ng-click="downloadPdf()" class="btn btn-primary">download PDF</button>

JS controller:

'use strict';
angular.module('xxxxxxxxApp')
    .controller('MathController', function ($scope, MathServicePDF) {
        $scope.downloadPdf = function () {
            var fileName = "test.pdf";
            var a = document.createElement("a");
            document.body.appendChild(a);
            MathServicePDF.downloadPdf().then(function (result) {
                var file = new Blob([result.data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
                var fileURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(file);
                a.href = fileURL;
                a.download = fileName;
                a.click();
            });
        };
});

JS services:

angular.module('xxxxxxxxApp')
    .factory('MathServicePDF', function ($http) {
        return {
            downloadPdf: function () {
            return $http.get('api/downloadPDF', { responseType: 'arraybuffer' }).then(function (response) {
                return response;
            });
        }
    };
});

Java REST Web Services - Spring MVC:

@RequestMapping(value = "/downloadPDF", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/pdf")
    public ResponseEntity<byte[]> getPDF() {
        FileInputStream fileStream;
        try {
            fileStream = new FileInputStream(new File("C:\\xxxxx\\xxxxxx\\test.pdf"));
            byte[] contents = IOUtils.toByteArray(fileStream);
            HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
            headers.setContentType(MediaType.parseMediaType("application/pdf"));
            String filename = "test.pdf";
            headers.setContentDispositionFormData(filename, filename);
            ResponseEntity<byte[]> response = new ResponseEntity<byte[]>(contents, headers, HttpStatus.OK);
            return response;
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
           System.err.println(e);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println(e);
        }
        return null;

How to remove all numbers from string?

For Western Arabic numbers (0-9):

$words = preg_replace('/[0-9]+/', '', $words);

For all numerals including Western Arabic (e.g. Indian):

$words = '????';
$words = preg_replace('/\d+/u', '', $words);
var_dump($words); // string(0) ""
  • \d+ matches multiple numerals.
  • The modifier /u enables unicode string treatment. This modifier is important, otherwise the numerals would not match.

How to change the style of the title attribute inside an anchor tag?

I have found the answer here: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012/11/how-to-create-a-simple-css3-tooltip/

my own code goes like this, I have changed the attribute name, if you maintain the title name for the attribute you end up having two popups for the same text, another change is that my text on hovering displays underneath the exposed text.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.tags {
  display: inline;
  position: relative;
}

.tags:hover:after {
  background: #333;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);

Looking for a 'cmake clean' command to clear up CMake output

This is pretty old, but if you completely remove the cmake-build-debug folder, when you compile using cmake it should automatically create a new cmake-build-debug folder with everything you need. Works especially well in CLion.

How to store directory files listing into an array?

You may be tempted to use (*) but what if a directory contains the * character? It's very difficult to handle special characters in filenames correctly.

You can use ls -ls. However, it fails to handle newline characters.

# Store la -ls as an array
readarray -t files <<< $(ls -ls)
for (( i=1; i<${#files[@]}; i++ ))
{
    # Convert current line to an array
    line=(${files[$i]})
    # Get the filename, joining it together any spaces
    fileName=${line[@]:9}
    echo $fileName
}

If all you want is the file name, then just use ls:

for fileName in $(ls); do
    echo $fileName
done

See this article or this this post for more information about some of the difficulties of dealing with special characters in file names.

Dynamically adding properties to an ExpandoObject

How to break out from foreach loop in javascript

Use a for loop instead of .forEach()

var myObj = [{"a": "1","b": null},{"a": "2","b": 5}]
var result = false

for(var call of myObj) {
    console.log(call)
    
    var a = call['a'], b = call['b']
     
    if(a == null || b == null) {
        result = false
        break
    }
}

How do I print part of a rendered HTML page in JavaScript?

Along the same lines as some of the suggestions you would need to do at least the following:

  • Load some CSS dynamically through JavaScript
  • Craft some print-specific CSS rules
  • Apply your fancy CSS rules through JavaScript

An example CSS could be as simple as this:

@media print {
  body * {
    display:none;
  }

  body .printable {
    display:block;
  }
}

Your JavaScript would then only need to apply the "printable" class to your target div and it will be the only thing visible (as long as there are no other conflicting CSS rules -- a separate exercise) when printing happens.

<script type="text/javascript">
  function divPrint() {
    // Some logic determines which div should be printed...
    // This example uses div3.
    $("#div3").addClass("printable");
    window.print();
  }
</script>

You may want to optionally remove the class from the target after printing has occurred, and / or remove the dynamically-added CSS after printing has occurred.

Below is a full working example, the only difference is that the print CSS is not loaded dynamically. If you want it to really be unobtrusive then you will need to load the CSS dynamically like in this answer.

How to get the first line of a file in a bash script?

This suffices and stores the first line of filename in the variable $line:

read -r line < filename

I also like awk for this:

awk 'NR==1 {print; exit}' file

To store the line itself, use the var=$(command) syntax. In this case, line=$(awk 'NR==1 {print; exit}' file).

Or even sed:

sed -n '1p' file

With the equivalent line=$(sed -n '1p' file).


See a sample when we feed the read with seq 10, that is, a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10:

$ read -r line < <(seq 10) 
$ echo "$line"
1

$ line=$(awk 'NR==1 {print; exit}' <(seq 10))
$ echo "$line"
1

Install Android App Bundle on device

Short answer:

Not directly.

Longer answer:

Android App Bundles is a publishing format. Android devices require .apk files to install applications.

The PlayStore or any other source that you're installing from needs to extract apks from the bundle, sign each one and then install them specific to the target device.

The conversion from .aab to .apk is done via bundletool.

You can use Internal App Sharing to upload a debuggable build of your app to the Play Store and share it with testers.

Is there a JSON equivalent of XQuery/XPath?

Jsel is awesome and is based on a real XPath engine. It allows you to create XPath expressions to find any type of JavaScript data, not just objects (strings too).

You can create custom schemas and mappings to give you complete control over how your data is walkable by the XPath engine. A schema is a way of defining how elements, children, attributes, and node values are defined in your data. Then you can create your own expressions to suit.

Given you had a variable called data which contained the JSON from the question, you could use jsel to write:

jsel(data).select("//*[@id=3]")

This will return any node with an id attribute of 3. An attribute is any primitive (string, number, date, regex) value within an object.

Foreign key referencing a 2 columns primary key in SQL Server

Note that the fields must be in the same order. If the Primary Key you are referencing is specified as (Application, ID) then your foreign key must reference (Application, ID) and NOT (ID, Application) as they are seen as two different keys.

Regular expression include and exclude special characters

[a-zA-Z0-9~@#\^\$&\*\(\)-_\+=\[\]\{\}\|\\,\.\?\s]*

This would do the matching, if you only want to allow that just wrap it in ^$ or any other delimiters that you see appropriate, if you do this no specific disallow logic is needed.

Can I nest a <button> element inside an <a> using HTML5?

You can add a class to the button and put some script redirecting it.

I do it this way:

<button class='buttonClass'>button name</button>

<script>
$(".buttonClass').click(function(){
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";
});
</script>

ERROR Error: StaticInjectorError(AppModule)[UserformService -> HttpClient]:

What is the meaning of "this" in Java?

this refers to the current object.

Each non-static method runs in the context of an object. So if you have a class like this:

public class MyThisTest {
  private int a;

  public MyThisTest() {
    this(42); // calls the other constructor
  }

  public MyThisTest(int a) {
    this.a = a; // assigns the value of the parameter a to the field of the same name
  }

  public void frobnicate() {
    int a = 1;

    System.out.println(a); // refers to the local variable a
    System.out.println(this.a); // refers to the field a
    System.out.println(this); // refers to this entire object
  }

  public String toString() {
    return "MyThisTest a=" + a; // refers to the field a
  }
}

Then calling frobnicate() on new MyThisTest() will print

1
42
MyThisTest a=42

So effectively you use it for multiple things:

  • clarify that you are talking about a field, when there's also something else with the same name as a field
  • refer to the current object as a whole
  • invoke other constructors of the current class in your constructor

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) after new installation on Ubuntu

I had to be logged into Ubuntu as root in order to access Mariadb as root. It may have something to do with that "Harden ..." that it prompts you to do when you first install. So:

$ sudo su
[sudo] password for user: yourubunturootpassword
# mysql -r root -p
Enter password: yourmariadbrootpassword

and you're in.

Creating a class object in c++

I can use the same in c++ like this [...] Where constructor is compulsory. From this tutorial I got that we can create object like this [...] Which do not require an constructor.

This is wrong. A constructor must exist in order to create an object. The constructor could be defined implicitly by the compiler under some conditions if you do not provide any, but eventually the constructor must be there if you want an object to be instantiated. In fact, the lifetime of an object is defined to begin when the constructor routine returns.

From Paragraph 3.8/1 of the C++11 Standard:

[...] The lifetime of an object of type T begins when:

— storage with the proper alignment and size for type T is obtained, and

— if the object has non-trivial initialization, its initialization is complete.

Therefore, a constructor must be present.

1) What is the difference between both the way of creating class objects.

When you instantiate object with automatic storage duration, like this (where X is some class):

X x;

You are creating an object which will be automatically destroyed when it goes out of scope. On the other hand, when you do:

X* x = new X();

You are creating an object dynamically and you are binding its address to a pointer. This way, the object you created will not be destroyed when your x pointer goes out of scope.

In Modern C++, this is regarded as a dubious programming practice: although pointers are important because they allow realizing reference semantics, raw pointers are bad because they could result in memory leaks (objects outliving all of their pointers and never getting destroyed) or in dangling pointers (pointers outliving the object they point to, potentially causing Undefined Behavior when dereferenced).

In fact, when creating an object with new, you always have to remember destroying it with delete:

delete x;

If you need reference semantics and are forced to use pointers, in C++11 you should consider using smart pointers instead:

std::shared_ptr<X> x = std::make_shared<X>();

Smart pointers take care of memory management issues, which is what gives you headache with raw pointers. Smart pointers are, in fact, almost the same as Java or C# object references. The "almost" is necessary because the programmer must take care of not introducing cyclic dependencies through owning smart pointers.

2) If i am creating object like Example example; how to use that in an singleton class.

You could do something like this (simplified code):

struct Example
{
    static Example& instance()
    {
        static Example example;
        return example;
    }

 private:

    Example() { }
    Example(Example const&) = delete;
    Example(Example&&) = delete;
    Example& operator = (Example const&) = delete;
    Example& operator = (Example&&) = delete;

};

What is the difference between the operating system and the kernel?

Basically the Kernel is the interface between hardware (devices which are available in Computer) and Application software is like MS Office, Visual Studio, etc.

If I answer "what is an OS?" then the answer could be the same. Hence the kernel is the part & core of the OS.

The very sensitive tasks of an OS like memory management, I/O management, process management are taken care of by the kernel only.

So the ultimate difference is:

  1. Kernel is responsible for Hardware level interactions at some specific range. But the OS is like hardware level interaction with full scope of computer.
  2. Kernel triggers SystemCalls to tell the OS that this resource is available at this point of time. The OS is responsible to handle those system calls in order to utilize the resource.

Column/Vertical selection with Keyboard in SublimeText 3

The SublimeText 3 Column-Select plugin should be all you need. Install that, then make sure you have something like the following in your 'Default (OSX).sublime-keymap' file:

    // Column mode
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+up"], "command": "column_select", "args": {"by": "lines", "forward": false}},
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+down"], "command": "column_select", "args": {"by": "lines", "forward": true}},
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+pageup"], "command": "column_select", "args": {"by": "pages", "forward": false}},
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+pagedown"], "command": "column_select", "args": {"by": "pages", "forward": true}},
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+home"], "command": "column_select", "args": {"by": "all", "forward": false}},
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+end"], "command": "column_select", "args": {"by": "all", "forward": true}}

Resize Google Maps marker icon image

So I just had this same issue, but a little different. I already had the icon as an object as Philippe Boissonneault suggests, but I was using an SVG image.

What solved it for me was:

Is it possible to override / remove background: none!important with jQuery?

Yes it is possible depending on what css you have, you simply just declare the same thing with a different background like this

ul li {
    background: none !important;
}

ul li{
    background: blue !important;
}

But you have to make sure the declaration comes after the first one seeing as it is cascading.

Demo

You can also create a style tag in jQuery like this

$('head').append('<style> #an-element li { background: inherit !important;} </style>');

Demo

You cannot see any changes because it's not inheriting any background but it is overwriting the background: none;

Android-Studio upgraded from 0.1.9 to 0.2.0 causing gradle build errors now

Gradle should be updated already, you just need to let your previous projects know gradle has been updated.

Source

Edit your build.gradle file to show this:

dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}

This should only be required for projects created with the previous version of Android Studio. New projects you create will have that by default.

git-upload-pack: command not found, when cloning remote Git repo

Building on Brian's answer, the upload-pack path can be set permanently by running the following commands after cloning, which eliminates the need for --upload-pack on subsequent pull/fetch requests. Similarly, setting receive-pack eliminates the need for --receive-pack on push requests.

git config remote.origin.uploadpack /path/to/git-upload-pack
git config remote.origin.receivepack /path/to/git-receive-pack

These two commands are equivalent to adding the following lines to a repo's .git/config.

[remote "origin"]
    uploadpack = /path/to/git-upload-pack
    receivepack = /path/to/git-receive-pack

Frequent users of clone -u may be interested in the following aliases. myclone should be self-explanatory. myfetch/mypull/mypush can be used on repos whose config hasn't been modified as described above by replacing git push with git mypush, and so on.

[alias]
    myclone = clone --upload-pack /path/to/git-upload-pack
    myfetch = fetch --upload-pack /path/to/git-upload-pack
    mypull  = pull --upload-pack /path/to/git-upload-pack
    mypush  = push --receive-pack /path/to/git-receive-pack

Java: How to access methods from another class

You either need to create an object of type Beta in the Alpha class or its method

Like you do here in the Main Beta cBeta = new Beta();

If you want to use the variable you create in your Main then you have to parse it to cAlpha as a parameter by making the Alpha constructor look like

public class Alpha 
{

    Beta localInstance;

    public Alpha(Beta _beta)
    {
        localInstance = _beta;
    }


     public void DoSomethingAlpha() 
     {
          localInstance.DoSomethingAlpha();     
     }
}

Best way to serialize/unserialize objects in JavaScript?

JSON has no functions as data types. You can only serialize strings, numbers, objects, arrays, and booleans (and null)

You could create your own toJson method, only passing the data that really has to be serialized:

Person.prototype.toJson = function() {
    return JSON.stringify({age: this.age});
};

Similar for deserializing:

Person.fromJson = function(json) {
    var data = JSON.parse(json); // Parsing the json string.
    return new Person(data.age);
};

The usage would be:

var serialize = p1.toJson();
var _p1 = Person.fromJson(serialize);
alert("Is old: " + _p1.isOld());

To reduce the amount of work, you could consider to store all the data that needs to be serialized in a special "data" property for each Person instance. For example:

function Person(age) {
    this.data = {
        age: age
    };
    this.isOld = function (){
        return this.data.age > 60 ? true : false;
    }
}

then serializing and deserializing is merely calling JSON.stringify(this.data) and setting the data of an instance would be instance.data = JSON.parse(json).

This would keep the toJson and fromJson methods simple but you'd have to adjust your other functions.


Side note:

You should add the isOld method to the prototype of the function:

Person.prototype.isOld = function() {}

Otherwise, every instance has it's own instance of that function which also increases memory.

Understanding __get__ and __set__ and Python descriptors

Why do I need the descriptor class?

It gives you extra control over how attributes work. If you're used to getters and setters in Java, for example, then it's Python's way of doing that. One advantage is that it looks to users just like an attribute (there's no change in syntax). So you can start with an ordinary attribute and then, when you need to do something fancy, switch to a descriptor.

An attribute is just a mutable value. A descriptor lets you execute arbitrary code when reading or setting (or deleting) a value. So you could imagine using it to map an attribute to a field in a database, for example – a kind of ORM.

Another use might be refusing to accept a new value by throwing an exception in __set__ – effectively making the "attribute" read only.

What is instance and owner here? (in __get__). What is the purpose of these parameters?

This is pretty subtle (and the reason I am writing a new answer here - I found this question while wondering the same thing and didn't find the existing answer that great).

A descriptor is defined on a class, but is typically called from an instance. When it's called from an instance both instance and owner are set (and you can work out owner from instance so it seems kinda pointless). But when called from a class, only owner is set – which is why it's there.

This is only needed for __get__ because it's the only one that can be called on a class. If you set the class value you set the descriptor itself. Similarly for deletion. Which is why the owner isn't needed there.

How would I call/use this example?

Well, here's a cool trick using similar classes:

class Celsius:

    def __get__(self, instance, owner):
        return 5 * (instance.fahrenheit - 32) / 9

    def __set__(self, instance, value):
        instance.fahrenheit = 32 + 9 * value / 5


class Temperature:

    celsius = Celsius()

    def __init__(self, initial_f):
        self.fahrenheit = initial_f


t = Temperature(212)
print(t.celsius)
t.celsius = 0
print(t.fahrenheit)

(I'm using Python 3; for python 2 you need to make sure those divisions are / 5.0 and / 9.0). That gives:

100.0
32.0

Now there are other, arguably better ways to achieve the same effect in python (e.g. if celsius were a property, which is the same basic mechanism but places all the source inside the Temperature class), but that shows what can be done...

In Git, what is the difference between origin/master vs origin master?

origin/master is the remote master branch

Usually after doing a git fetch origin to bring all the changes from the server, you would do a git rebase origin/master, to rebase your changes and move the branch to the latest index. Here, origin/master is referring to the remote branch, because you are basically telling GIT to rebase the origin/master branch onto the current branch.

You would use origin master when pushing, for example. git push origin master is simply telling GIT to push to the remote repository the local master branch.

How to make primary key as autoincrement for Room Persistence lib

Annotate your Entity class with the code below.

In Java:

@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
private int id;

In Kotlin:

@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
var id: Int

Room will then auto-generate and auto-increment the id field.

Import numpy on pycharm

In general, the cause of the problem could be the following:

You started a new project with the new virtual environment. So probably you install numpy from the terminal, but it is not in your venv. So

  • either install it from PyCahrm Interface: Settings -> Project Interpreter -> Add the package

  • or activate your venv and -> pip install numPy

JQuery get data from JSON array

    });
});

Creating a zero-filled pandas data frame

Assuming having a template DataFrame, which one would like to copy with zero values filled here...

If you have no NaNs in your data set, multiplying by zero can be significantly faster:

In [19]: columns = ["col{}".format(i) for i in xrange(3000)]                                                                                       

In [20]: indices = xrange(2000)

In [21]: orig_df = pd.DataFrame(42.0, index=indices, columns=columns)

In [22]: %timeit d = pd.DataFrame(np.zeros_like(orig_df), index=orig_df.index, columns=orig_df.columns)
100 loops, best of 3: 12.6 ms per loop

In [23]: %timeit d = orig_df * 0.0
100 loops, best of 3: 7.17 ms per loop

Improvement depends on DataFrame size, but never found it slower.

And just for the heck of it:

In [24]: %timeit d = orig_df * 0.0 + 1.0
100 loops, best of 3: 13.6 ms per loop

In [25]: %timeit d = pd.eval('orig_df * 0.0 + 1.0')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.36 ms per loop

But:

In [24]: %timeit d = orig_df.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 24 ms per loop

EDIT!!!

Assuming you have a frame using float64, this will be the fastest by a huge margin! It is also able to generate any value by replacing 0.0 to the desired fill number.

In [23]: %timeit d = pd.eval('orig_df > 1.7976931348623157e+308 + 0.0')
100 loops, best of 3: 3.68 ms per loop

Depending on taste, one can externally define nan, and do a general solution, irrespective of the particular float type:

In [39]: nan = np.nan
In [40]: %timeit d = pd.eval('orig_df > nan + 0.0')
100 loops, best of 3: 4.39 ms per loop

fast way to copy formatting in excel

Just use the NumberFormat property after the Value property: In this example the Ranges are defined using variables called ColLetter and SheetRow and this comes from a for-next loop using the integer i, but they might be ordinary defined ranges of course.

TransferSheet.Range(ColLetter & SheetRow).Value = Range(ColLetter & i).Value TransferSheet.Range(ColLetter & SheetRow).NumberFormat = Range(ColLetter & i).NumberFormat

Difference between using bean id and name in Spring configuration file

let me answer below question

Is there any difference between using an id attribute and using a name attribute on a <bean> tag,

There is no difference. you will experience same effect when id or name is used on a <bean> tag .

How?

Both id and name attributes are giving us a means to provide identifier value to a bean (For this moment, think id means id but not identifier). In both the cases, you will see same result if you call applicationContext.getBean("bean-identifier"); .

Take @Bean, the java equivalent of <bean> tag, you wont find an id attribute. you can give your identifier value to @Bean only through name attribute.

Let me explain it through an example :
Take this configuration file, let's call it as spring1.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans ...>
  <bean id="foo" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
  <bean id="bar" class="com.intertech.Bar"></bean>
</beans>

Spring returns Foo object for, Foo f = (Foo) context.getBean("foo"); . Replace id="foo" with name="foo" in the above spring1.xml, You will still see the same result.

Define your xml configuration like,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans ...>
  <bean id="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
  <bean name="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
</beans>

You will get BeanDefinitionParsingException. It will say, Bean name 'fooIdentifier' is already used in this element. By the way, This is the same exception you will see if you have below config
<bean name="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
<bean name="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>


If you keep both id and name to the bean tag, the bean is said to have 2 identifiers. you can get the same bean with any identifier. take config as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br>
<beans ...>
  <bean id="fooById" name="fooByName" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
  <bean id="bar" class="com.intertech.Bar"></bean>
</beans>

the following code prints true

FileSystemXmlApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(...);
Foo fooById = (Foo) context.getBean("fooById")// returns Foo object;
Foo fooByName = (Foo) context.getBean("fooByName")// returns Foo object;
System.out.println(fooById == fooByName) //true

Change working directory in my current shell context when running Node script

The correct way to change directories is actually with process.chdir(directory). Here's an example from the documentation:

console.log('Starting directory: ' + process.cwd());
try {
  process.chdir('/tmp');
  console.log('New directory: ' + process.cwd());
}
catch (err) {
  console.log('chdir: ' + err);
}

This is also testable in the Node.js REPL:

[monitor@s2 ~]$ node
> process.cwd()
'/home/monitor'
> process.chdir('../');
undefined
> process.cwd();
'/home'

How do I dynamically assign properties to an object in TypeScript?

To preserve your previous type, temporary cast your object to any

  var obj = {}
  (<any>obj).prop = 5;

The new dynamic property will only be available when you use the cast:

  var a = obj.prop; ==> Will generate a compiler error
  var b = (<any>obj).prop; ==> Will assign 5 to b with no error;

How to check whether a int is not null or empty?

if your int variable is declared as a class level variable (instance variable) it would be defaulted to 0. But that does not indicate if the value sent from the client was 0 or a null. may be you could have a setter method which could be called to initialize/set the value sent by the client. then you can define your indicator value , may be a some negative value to indicate the null..

How to check if type is Boolean

if(['true', 'yes', '1'].includes(single_value)) {
    return  true;   
}
else if(['false', 'no', '0'].includes(single_value)) {
    return  false;  
}

Resize command prompt through commands

Although the answers given here can be used to temporarily change window size, they don't seem to affect font size (at least not on my PC). I have an alternative way. I don't know if this what you're looking for but if you want to make changes automatically/permanently to Console font/window size, you can always do a script that edits the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%%SystemRoot%%_system32_cmd.exe
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%%SystemRoot%%_system32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe

Those keys deal with the consoles that come up when your run a script or press shift and select "open command prompt here". The Command Prompt entry in your start menu does not use the registry to store it's preferences but stores the prefs in the shortcut itself.

I have a monitor that I can run in 720p native or 1440p supersampling. I needed a quick way to change my console's font/window size, so I made these scripts. These scripts do two things: (1) change the font/window sizes in the registry and (2) swap out the shortcuts in the Start menu with ones that have a different window and font size. I basically made two sets of copies of the Command Prompt and Power Shell shortcuts and stored them in Documents. One set of shortcuts was configured with Consolas font size at 16 for my monitor is in 720p (called it "Command Prompt.720pRes.lnk") and another version of the same shortcut was configure with font size at 36 (called it "Command Prompt.HighRes.lnk"). The script will copy from the set I want to use to overwrite the Start menu one.

console-1440p.cmd:

::Assign New Window and Font Size for Windows Command Prompt
set CMDpNewFont=00240000
set CMDpNewWindowSize=000f0078

How to verify if $_GET exists?

Normally it is quite good to do:

echo isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : 'wtf';

This is so when assigning the var to other variables you can do defaults all in one breath instead of constantly using if statements to just give them a default value if they are not set.

Spring Maven clean error - The requested profile "pom.xml" could not be activated because it does not exist

The warning message

[WARNING] The requested profile "pom.xml" could not be activated because it does not exist.

means that you somehow passed -P pom.xml to Maven which means "there is a profile called pom.xml; find it and activate it". Check your environment and your settings.xml for this flag and also look at all <profile> elements inside the various XML files.

Usually, mvn help:effective-pom is also useful to see what the real POM would look like.

Now the error means that you tried to configure Maven to build Java 8 code but you're not using a Java 8 runtime. Solutions:

  1. Install Java 8
  2. Make sure Maven uses Java 8 if you have it installed. JAVA_HOME is your friend
  3. Configure the Java compiler in your pom.xml to a Java version which you actually have.

Difference between Python's Generators and Iterators

Everybody has a really nice and verbose answer with examples and I really appreciate it. I just wanted to give a short few lines answer for people who are still not quite clear conceptually:

If you create your own iterator, it is a little bit involved - you have to create a class and at least implement the iter and the next methods. But what if you don't want to go through this hassle and want to quickly create an iterator. Fortunately, Python provides a short-cut way to defining an iterator. All you need to do is define a function with at least 1 call to yield and now when you call that function it will return "something" which will act like an iterator (you can call next method and use it in a for loop). This something has a name in Python called Generator

Hope that clarifies a bit.

How can I search for a multiline pattern in a file?

So I discovered pcregrep which stands for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions GREP.

For example, you need to find files where the '_name' variable is immediatelly followed by the '_description' variable:

find . -iname '*.py' | xargs pcregrep -M '_name.*\n.*_description'

Tip: you need to include the line break character in your pattern. Depending on your platform, it could be '\n', \r', '\r\n', ...

$('#textboxid').val('some value');

Custom fonts and XML layouts (Android)

Old question, but I sure wish I read this answer here before I started my own search for a good solution. Calligraphy extends the android:fontFamily attribute to add support for custom fonts in your asset folder, like so:

<TextView 
  android:text="@string/hello_world"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:fontFamily="fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf"/>

The only thing you have to do to activate it is attaching it to the Context of the Activity you're using:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
    super.attachBaseContext(new CalligraphyContextWrapper(newBase));
}

You can also specify your own custom attribute to replace android:fontFamily

It also works in themes, including the AppTheme.

Why does corrcoef return a matrix?

corrcoef returns the normalised covariance matrix.

The covariance matrix is the matrix

Cov( X, X )    Cov( X, Y )

Cov( Y, X )    Cov( Y, Y )

Normalised, this will yield the matrix:

Corr( X, X )    Corr( X, Y )

Corr( Y, X )    Corr( Y, Y )

correlation1[0, 0 ] is the correlation between Strategy1Returns and itself, which must be 1. You just want correlation1[ 0, 1 ].

Easy way to test a URL for 404 in PHP?

I found this answer here:

if(($twitter_XML_raw=file_get_contents($timeline))==false){
    // Retrieve HTTP status code
    list($version,$status_code,$msg) = explode(' ',$http_response_header[0], 3);

    // Check the HTTP Status code
    switch($status_code) {
        case 200:
                $error_status="200: Success";
                break;
        case 401:
                $error_status="401: Login failure.  Try logging out and back in.  Password are ONLY used when posting.";
                break;
        case 400:
                $error_status="400: Invalid request.  You may have exceeded your rate limit.";
                break;
        case 404:
                $error_status="404: Not found.  This shouldn't happen.  Please let me know what happened using the feedback link above.";
                break;
        case 500:
                $error_status="500: Twitter servers replied with an error. Hopefully they'll be OK soon!";
                break;
        case 502:
                $error_status="502: Twitter servers may be down or being upgraded. Hopefully they'll be OK soon!";
                break;
        case 503:
                $error_status="503: Twitter service unavailable. Hopefully they'll be OK soon!";
                break;
        default:
                $error_status="Undocumented error: " . $status_code;
                break;
    }

Essentially, you use the "file get contents" method to retrieve the URL, which automatically populates the http response header variable with the status code.

how to put image in a bundle and pass it to another activity

So you can do it like this, but the limitation with the Parcelables is that the payload between activities has to be less than 1MB total. It's usually better to save the Bitmap to a file and pass the URI to the image to the next activity.

Java: how to use UrlConnection to post request with authorization?

i was looking information about how to do a POST request. I need to specify that mi request is a POST request because, i'm working with RESTful web services that only uses POST methods, and if the request isn't post, when i try to do the request i receive an HTTP error 405. I assure that my code isn't wrong doing the next: I create a method in my web service that is called through GET request and i point my application to consume that web service method and it works. My code is the next:

    URL server = null;
    URLConnection conexion = null;
    BufferedReader reader = null;
    server = new URL("http://localhost:8089/myApp/resources/webService");
    conexion = server.openConnection();
    reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(server.openStream()));
    System.out.println(reader.readLine());

Safley copy a s SQLite db

Safely copy a SQLite database

It's trivially easy to copy a SQLite database. It's less trivial to do this in a way that won't corrupt it. Here's how:

shell$ sqlite3 some.db
sqlite> begin immediate;
<press CTRL+Z>
shell$ cp some.db some.db.backup
shell$ exit
sqlite> rollback;

This will give you a nice clean backup that's sure to be in a proper state, since writing to the database half-way through your copying process is impossible.

write newline into a file

the other answers should work. however I wanna mention

from java doc:

FileWriter is meant for writing streams of characters. For writing streams of raw bytes, consider using a FileOutputStream.

reading your method codes, you are about to write String to the file, what you were doing is convert String to raw bytes, then write so I think using FileWriter is not a bad idea.

And for the newline problem, Writer has method .write(String), which is convenient to use.

Visual Studio can't 'see' my included header files

Delete the .sdf file that is in your solution directory. It's just the Intellisense database, and Visual Studio will recreate it the next time you open that solution. This db can get corrupted and cause the IDE to not be able to find things, and since the compiler generates this information for itself on the fly, it wouldn't be affected.

Remove all whitespace from C# string with regex

Regex.Replace does not modify its first argument (recall that strings are immutable in .NET) so the call

Regex.Replace(LastName, @"\s+", "");

leaves the LastName string unchanged. You need to call it like this:

LastName = Regex.Replace(LastName, @"\s+", "");

All three of your regular expressions would have worked. However, the first regex would remove all plus characters as well, which I imagine would be unintentional.

Android global variable

You can create a Global Class like this:

public class GlobalClass extends Application{

    private String name;
    private String email;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String aName) {
        name = aName;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String aEmail) {
        email = aEmail;
    }
}

Then define it in the manifest:

<application
    android:name="com.example.globalvariable.GlobalClass" ....

Now you can set values to global variable like this:

final GlobalClass globalVariable = (GlobalClass) getApplicationContext();
globalVariable.setName("Android Example context variable");

You can get those values like this:

final GlobalClass globalVariable = (GlobalClass) getApplicationContext();
final String name  = globalVariable.getName();

Please find complete example from this blog Global Variables

module.exports vs exports in Node.js

Setting module.exports allows the database_module function to be called like a function when required. Simply setting exports wouldn't allow the function to be exported because node exports the object module.exports references. The following code wouldn't allow the user to call the function.

module.js

The following won't work.

exports = nano = function database_module(cfg) {return;}

The following will work if module.exports is set.

module.exports = exports = nano = function database_module(cfg) {return;}

console

var func = require('./module.js');
// the following line will **work** with module.exports
func();

Basically node.js doesn't export the object that exports currently references, but exports the properties of what exports originally references. Although Node.js does export the object module.exports references, allowing you to call it like a function.


2nd least important reason

They set both module.exports and exports to ensure exports isn't referencing the prior exported object. By setting both you use exports as a shorthand and avoid potential bugs later on down the road.

Using exports.prop = true instead of module.exports.prop = true saves characters and avoids confusion.

I do not want to inherit the child opacity from the parent in CSS

It seems that display: block elements do not inherit opacity from display: inline parents.

Codepen example

Maybe because it's invalid markup and the browser is secretly separating them? Because source doesn't show that happening. Am I missing something?

Java escape JSON String?

Try to replace all the " and ' with a \ before them. Do this just for the msget object(String, I guess). Don't forget that \ must be escaped too.

ORA-01652 Unable to extend temp segment by in tablespace

I found the solution to this. There is a temporary tablespace called TEMP which is used internally by database for operations like distinct, joins,etc. Since my query(which has 4 joins) fetches almost 50 million records the TEMP tablespace does not have that much space to occupy all data. Hence the query fails even though my tablespace has free space.So, after increasing the size of TEMP tablespace the issue was resolved. Hope this helps someone with the same issue. Thanks :)

How can I combine two HashMap objects containing the same types?

If you know you don't have duplicate keys, or you want values in map2 to overwrite values from map1 for duplicate keys, you can just write

map3 = new HashMap<>(map1);
map3.putAll(map2);

If you need more control over how values are combined, you can use Map.merge, added in Java 8, which uses a user-provided BiFunction to merge values for duplicate keys. merge operates on individual keys and values, so you'll need to use a loop or Map.forEach. Here we concatenate strings for duplicate keys:

map3 = new HashMap<>(map1);
for (Map.Entry<String, String> e : map2.entrySet())
    map3.merge(e.getKey(), e.getValue(), String::concat);
//or instead of the above loop
map2.forEach((k, v) -> map3.merge(k, v, String::concat));

If you know you don't have duplicate keys and want to enforce it, you can use a merge function that throws an AssertionError:

map2.forEach((k, v) ->
    map3.merge(k, v, (v1, v2) ->
        {throw new AssertionError("duplicate values for key: "+k);}));

Taking a step back from this specific question, the Java 8 streams library provides toMap and groupingBy Collectors. If you're repeatedly merging maps in a loop, you may be able to restructure your computation to use streams, which can both clarify your code and enable easy parallelism using a parallel stream and concurrent collector.

Split Spark Dataframe string column into multiple columns

Here's a solution to the general case that doesn't involve needing to know the length of the array ahead of time, using collect, or using udfs. Unfortunately this only works for spark version 2.1 and above, because it requires the posexplode function.

Suppose you had the following DataFrame:

df = spark.createDataFrame(
    [
        [1, 'A, B, C, D'], 
        [2, 'E, F, G'], 
        [3, 'H, I'], 
        [4, 'J']
    ]
    , ["num", "letters"]
)
df.show()
#+---+----------+
#|num|   letters|
#+---+----------+
#|  1|A, B, C, D|
#|  2|   E, F, G|
#|  3|      H, I|
#|  4|         J|
#+---+----------+

Split the letters column and then use posexplode to explode the resultant array along with the position in the array. Next use pyspark.sql.functions.expr to grab the element at index pos in this array.

import pyspark.sql.functions as f

df.select(
        "num",
        f.split("letters", ", ").alias("letters"),
        f.posexplode(f.split("letters", ", ")).alias("pos", "val")
    )\
    .show()
#+---+------------+---+---+
#|num|     letters|pos|val|
#+---+------------+---+---+
#|  1|[A, B, C, D]|  0|  A|
#|  1|[A, B, C, D]|  1|  B|
#|  1|[A, B, C, D]|  2|  C|
#|  1|[A, B, C, D]|  3|  D|
#|  2|   [E, F, G]|  0|  E|
#|  2|   [E, F, G]|  1|  F|
#|  2|   [E, F, G]|  2|  G|
#|  3|      [H, I]|  0|  H|
#|  3|      [H, I]|  1|  I|
#|  4|         [J]|  0|  J|
#+---+------------+---+---+

Now we create two new columns from this result. First one is the name of our new column, which will be a concatenation of letter and the index in the array. The second column will be the value at the corresponding index in the array. We get the latter by exploiting the functionality of pyspark.sql.functions.expr which allows us use column values as parameters.

df.select(
        "num",
        f.split("letters", ", ").alias("letters"),
        f.posexplode(f.split("letters", ", ")).alias("pos", "val")
    )\
    .drop("val")\
    .select(
        "num",
        f.concat(f.lit("letter"),f.col("pos").cast("string")).alias("name"),
        f.expr("letters[pos]").alias("val")
    )\
    .show()
#+---+-------+---+
#|num|   name|val|
#+---+-------+---+
#|  1|letter0|  A|
#|  1|letter1|  B|
#|  1|letter2|  C|
#|  1|letter3|  D|
#|  2|letter0|  E|
#|  2|letter1|  F|
#|  2|letter2|  G|
#|  3|letter0|  H|
#|  3|letter1|  I|
#|  4|letter0|  J|
#+---+-------+---+

Now we can just groupBy the num and pivot the DataFrame. Putting that all together, we get:

df.select(
        "num",
        f.split("letters", ", ").alias("letters"),
        f.posexplode(f.split("letters", ", ")).alias("pos", "val")
    )\
    .drop("val")\
    .select(
        "num",
        f.concat(f.lit("letter"),f.col("pos").cast("string")).alias("name"),
        f.expr("letters[pos]").alias("val")
    )\
    .groupBy("num").pivot("name").agg(f.first("val"))\
    .show()
#+---+-------+-------+-------+-------+
#|num|letter0|letter1|letter2|letter3|
#+---+-------+-------+-------+-------+
#|  1|      A|      B|      C|      D|
#|  3|      H|      I|   null|   null|
#|  2|      E|      F|      G|   null|
#|  4|      J|   null|   null|   null|
#+---+-------+-------+-------+-------+

No generated R.java file in my project

Update Android SDK Tools in Android SDK Manager for revision 22.0.1. It worked for me.

PHP __get and __set magic methods

From the PHP manual:

  • __set() is run when writing data to inaccessible properties.
  • __get() is utilized for reading data from inaccessible properties.

This is only called on reading/writing inaccessible properties. Your property however is public, which means it is accessible. Changing the access modifier to protected solves the issue.

How to iterate through a table rows and get the cell values using jQuery

Hello every one thanks for the help below is the working code for my question

$("#TableView tr.item").each(function() { 
    var quantity1=$(this).find("input.name").val(); 
    var quantity2=$(this).find("input.id").val(); 
});

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined

Your document does not contain any element with class content-nav, thus the method .offset() returns undefined which indeed has no top property.

You can see for yourself in this fiddle

alert($('.content-nav').offset());

(you will see "undefined")

To avoid crashing the whole code, you can have such code instead:

var top = ($('.content-nav').offset() || { "top": NaN }).top;
if (isNaN(top)) {
    alert("something is wrong, no top");
} else {
    alert(top);
}

Updated fiddle.

Android - How to regenerate R class?

Ok, I fixed it:

When I changed manifest to target 1.5 version, million errors appeared and only one wasn't related to inexistance of R class - in manifest file attributes "targetSdkVersion" and "maxSdkVersion" did not exist in sdk 1.5

Because of this R class was not able to generate.

What is the best free memory leak detector for a C/C++ program and its plug-in DLLs?

If you don't want to recompile (as Visual Leak Detector requires) I would recommend WinDbg, which is both powerful and fast (though it's not as easy to use as one could desire).

On the other hand, if you don't want to mess with WinDbg, you can take a look at UMDH, which is also developed by Microsoft and it's easier to learn.

Take a look at these links in order to learn more about WinDbg, memory leaks and memory management in general:

Iterate through 2 dimensional array

 //This is The easiest I can Imagine . 
 // You need to just change the order of Columns and rows , Yours is printing columns X rows and the solution is printing them rows X columns 
for(int rows=0;rows<array.length;rows++){
    for(int columns=0;columns <array[rows].length;columns++){
        System.out.print(array[rows][columns] + "\t" );}
    System.out.println();}

How to decompile an APK or DEX file on Android platform?

An APK is just in zip format. You can unzip it like any other .zip file.

You can decompile .dex files using the dexdump tool, which is provided in the Android SDK.

Resolving tree conflict

Basically, tree conflicts arise if there is some restructure in the folder structure on the branch. You need to delete the conflict folder and use svn clean once. Hope this solves your conflict.

Run react-native on android emulator

It happened to me that I had an instance of the packager running with an old project (I ran react-native start as usual). I was using Ubuntu 14.04. So what I did was to stop that instance and go to my project folder and in two different console tabs I ran these two commands separately:

npm start #here I used to run react-native start
react-native run-android

npm start is defined in my package.json as:

"start": "node_modules/react-native/packager/packager.sh"

I don't know if there is a sort of confusing stuff for react-native but that did the trick.

How to add element in Python to the end of list using list.insert?

list.insert with any index >= len(of_the_list) places the value at the end of list. It behaves like append

Python 3.7.4
>>>lst=[10,20,30]
>>>lst.insert(len(lst), 101)
>>>lst
[10, 20, 30, 101]
>>>lst.insert(len(lst)+50, 202)
>>>lst
[10, 20, 30, 101, 202]

Time complexity, append O(1), insert O(n)

Inputting a default image in case the src attribute of an html <img> is not valid?

There is no way to be sure the myriad number of clients (browsers) that will try to view your page. One aspect to consider is that email clients are defacto web browsers and may not handle such trickamajickery ...

As such you should ALSO include an alt/text with a DEFAULT WIDTH and HEIGHT, like this. This is a pure HTML solution.

alt="NO IMAGE" width="800" height="350"

So the other good answer would be slightly modified as follows:

<img src="foo.jpg" onerror="if (this.src != 'error.jpg') this.src = 'error.jpg';" alt="NO IMAGE" width="800" height="350">

I had issues with the object tag in Chrome, but I would imagine this would apply to that as well.

You can further style the alt/text to be VERY BIG ...

So my answer is use Javascript with a nice alt/text fallback.

I also found this interesting: How to style an image's alt attribute

How to get user agent in PHP

You could also use the php native funcion get_browser()

How to affect other elements when one element is hovered

In this particular example, you can use:

#container:hover #cube {
    background-color: yellow;   
}

This example only works since cube is a child of container. For more complicated scenarios, you'd need to use different CSS, or use JavaScript.

How to read attribute value from XmlNode in C#?

If you use chldNode as XmlElement instead of XmlNode, you can use

var attributeValue = chldNode.GetAttribute("Name");

The return value will just be an empty string, in case the attribute name does not exist.

So your loop could look like this:

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
var nodes = document.SelectNodes("//Node/N0de/node");

foreach (XmlElement node in nodes)
{
    var attributeValue = node.GetAttribute("Name");
}

This will select all nodes <node> surrounded by <Node><N0de></N0de><Node> tags and subsequently loop through them and read the attribute "Name".

Str_replace for multiple items

Like this:

str_replace(array(':', '\\', '/', '*'), ' ', $string);

Or, in modern PHP (anything from 5.4 onwards), the slighty less wordy:

str_replace([':', '\\', '/', '*'], ' ', $string);

Curl GET request with json parameter

Try

curl -G ...

instead of

curl -X GET ...

Normally you don't need this option. All sorts of GET, HEAD, POST and PUT requests are rather invoked by using dedicated command line options.

This option only changes the actual word used in the HTTP request, it does not alter the way curl behaves. So for example if you want to make a proper HEAD request, using -X HEAD will not suffice. You need to use the -I, --head option.

avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

The error message basically means that the programmer is unable to contact the bootloader on the device; the code you're trying to upload has no bearing on the problem.

What causes this can be numerous and varied, some possible issues:

  1. UART communications

    • Blinking is happening, so hopefully you aren't using the wrong port. It might be worth checking again though, sometimes USB COM devices install on strange port numbers.

    • Connect TX to RX (and disconnect them from the AVR if possible) then open a terminal on the COM port, you should see characters echoed if you type them. If you don't, something is wrong up-stream of the chip, it could be the communications chip (I think the Arduino 2560 uses a secondary AVR instead of an FTDI for some reason, so that could be broken, either its software or hardware)

  2. ATmega* bootloader

    • The AVR is not executing the bootloader for some reason. If the programmer is not resetting the micro before attempting to connect, this might be the reason. Try to reset the AVR (press and release the button) while the programmer is attempting to connect. Sometimes software that runs in a tight loop will prevent the bootloader from connecting.

    • Barring that, the fuses might have gotten messed up or the code erased. You would need to reflash the bootloader and proper fuses, again, see the appropriate info page for your device.

  3. Arduino Mega 2560 only: ATmega8U/16U software

    • Might not be working and would need reprogramming. See the Programming section on the info page, you will need the firmware and Atmel-compatible DFU (device firmware update) software on your computer to reflash the target.
  4. Hardware damage to the board, AVR(s), or FTDI chip

    • You're hosed; need a new chip.

A CSS selector to get last visible div

in other way, you can do it with javascript , in Jquery you can use something like:

*reedited

PHP remove commas from numeric strings

Not tested, but probably something like if(preg_match("/^[0-9,]+$/", $a)) $a = str_replace(...)


Do it the other way around:

$a = "1,435";
$b = str_replace( ',', '', $a );

if( is_numeric( $b ) ) {
    $a = $b;
}

The easiest would be:

$var = intval(preg_replace('/[^\d.]/', '', $var));

or if you need float:

$var = floatval(preg_replace('/[^\d.]/', '', $var));

Does my application "contain encryption"?

As of September 20th, 2016, registering is no longer required for apps that use https (or perhaps other forms of encryption): https://web.archive.org/web/20170312060607/https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/informationsecurity2016-updates

In fact, on SNAP-R you can no longer choose 'encryption registration': enter image description here

Specifically, they note:

Encryption Registrations no longer required – some of the information from the registration now goes into the Supp. No. 8 to Part 742 report.

This means you may need to send an annual report to BIS, but you don't need to register and you can note when submitting your app that it is exempt.

case 'a':
case 'A':
  // do stuff

Optimistic vs. Pessimistic locking

There are basically two most popular answers. The first one basically says

Optimistic needs a three-tier architectures where you do not necessarily maintain a connection to the database for your session whereas Pessimistic Locking is when you lock the record for your exclusive use until you have finished with it. It has much better integrity than optimistic locking you need either a direct connection to the database.

Another answer is

optimistic (versioning) is faster because of no locking but (pessimistic) locking performs better when contention is high and it is better to prevent the work rather than discard it and start over.

or

Optimistic locking works best when you have rare collisions

As it is put on this page.

I created my answer to explain how "keep connection" is related to "low collisions".

To understand which strategy is best for you, think not about the Transactions Per Second your DB has but the duration of a single transaction. Normally, you open trasnaction, performa operation and close the transaction. This is a short, classical transaction ANSI had in mind and fine to get away with locking. But, how do you implement a ticket reservation system where many clients reserve the same rooms/seats at the same time?

You browse the offers, fill in the form with lots of available options and current prices. It takes a lot of time and options can become obsolete, all the prices invalid between you started to fill the form and press "I agree" button because there was no lock on the data you have accessed and somebody else, more agile, has intefered changing all the prices and you need to restart with new prices.

You could lock all the options as you read them, instead. This is pessimistic scenario. You see why it sucks. Your system can be brought down by a single clown who simply starts a reservation and goes smoking. Nobody can reserve anything before he finishes. Your cash flow drops to zero. That is why, optimistic reservations are used in reality. Those who dawdle too long have to restart their reservation at higher prices.

In this optimistic approach you have to record all the data that you read (as in mine Repeated Read) and come to the commit point with your version of data (I want to buy shares at the price you displayed in this quote, not current price). At this point, ANSI transaction is created, which locks the DB, checks if nothing is changed and commits/aborts your operation. IMO, this is effective emulation of MVCC, which is also associated with Optimistic CC and also assumes that your transaction restarts in case of abort, that is you will make a new reservation. A transaction here involves a human user decisions.

I am far from understanding how to implement the MVCC manually but I think that long-running transactions with option of restart is the key to understanding the subject. Correct me if I am wrong anywhere. My answer was motivated by this Alex Kuznecov chapter.

What's "tools:context" in Android layout files?

According to the Android Tools Project Site:

tools:context

This attribute is typically set on the root element in a layout XML file, and records which activity the layout is associated with (at designtime, since obviously a layout can be used by more than one layout). This will for example be used by the layout editor to guess a default theme, since themes are defined in the Manifest and are associated with activities, not layouts. You can use the same dot prefix as in manifests to just specify the activity class without the full application package name as a prefix.

<android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">  

Used by: Layout editors in Studio & Eclipse, Lint

Is there any quick way to get the last two characters in a string?

In my case, I wanted the opposite. I wanted to strip off the last 2 characters in my string. This was pretty simple:

String myString = someString.substring(0, someString.length() - 2);

typedef fixed length array

Arrays can't be passed as function parameters by value in C.

You can put the array in a struct:

typedef struct type24 {
    char byte[3];
} type24;

and then pass that by value, but of course then it's less convenient to use: x.byte[0] instead of x[0].

Your function type24_to_int32(char value[3]) actually passes by pointer, not by value. It's exactly equivalent to type24_to_int32(char *value), and the 3 is ignored.

If you're happy passing by pointer, you could stick with the array and do:

type24_to_int32(const type24 *value);

This will pass a pointer-to-array, not pointer-to-first-element, so you use it as:

(*value)[0]

I'm not sure that's really a gain, since if you accidentally write value[1] then something stupid happens.

How to open a new window on form submit

In a web-based database application that uses a pop-up window to display print-outs of database data, this worked well enough for our needs (tested in Chrome 48):

<form method="post" 
      target="print_popup" 
      action="/myFormProcessorInNewWindow.aspx"
      onsubmit="window.open('about:blank','print_popup','width=1000,height=800');">

The trick is to match the target attribute on the <form> tag with the second argument in the window.open call in the onsubmit handler.

Fastest way to remove first char in a String

I know this is hyper-optimization land, but it seemed like a good excuse to kick the wheels of BenchmarkDotNet. The result of this test (on .NET Core even) is that Substring is ever so slightly faster than Remove, in this sample test: 19.37ns vs 22.52ns for Remove. So some ~16% faster.

using System;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Attributes;

namespace BenchmarkFun
{
    public class StringSubstringVsRemove
    {
        public readonly string SampleString = " My name is Daffy Duck.";

        [Benchmark]
        public string StringSubstring() => SampleString.Substring(1);

        [Benchmark]
        public string StringRemove() => SampleString.Remove(0, 1);

        public void AssertTestIsValid()
        {
            string subsRes = StringSubstring();
            string remvRes = StringRemove();

            if (subsRes == null

JavaScript loop through json array?

It is working. I just added square brackets to JSON data. The data is:

var data = [
    { 
        "id": "1",
        "msg": "hi", 
        "tid": "2013-05-05 23:35", 
        "fromWho": "[email protected]" 
    }, 
    { 
        "id": "2", 
        "msg": "there", 
        "tid": "2013-05-05 23:45", 
        "fromWho": "[email protected]"
    }
]

And the loop is:

for (var key in data) {
   if (data.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
         alert(data[key].id);
   }
} 

Removing duplicate elements from an array in Swift

The easiest way would be to use NSOrderedSet, that stores unique elements and preserves the elements order. Like:

func removeDuplicates(from items: [Int]) -> [Int] {
    let uniqueItems = NSOrderedSet(array: items)
    return (uniqueItems.array as? [Int]) ?? []
}

let arr = [1, 4, 2, 2, 6, 24, 15, 2, 60, 15, 6]
removeDuplicates(from: arr)

How to call a method daily, at specific time, in C#?

I know this is old but how about this:

Build a timer to fire at startup that calculates time to next run time. At the first call of the runtime, cancel the first timer and start a new daily timer. change daily to hourly or whatever you want the periodicity to be.

Unable to set data attribute using jQuery Data() API

As mentioned, the .data() method won't actually set the value of the data- attribute, nor will it read updated values if the data- attribute changes.

My solution was to extend jQuery with a .realData() method that actually corresponds to the current value of the attribute:

// Alternative to .data() that updates data- attributes, and reads their current value.
(function($){
  $.fn.realData = function(name,value) {
      if (value === undefined) {
        return $(this).attr('data-'+name);
      } else {
        $(this).attr('data-'+name,value);
      }
  };
})(jQuery);

NOTE: Sure you could just use .attr(), but from my experience, most developers (aka me) make the mistake of viewing .attr() and .data() as interchangeable, and often substitute one for the other without thinking. It might work most of the time, but it's a great way to introduce bugs, especially when dealing with any sort of dynamic data binding. So by using .realData(), I can be more explicit about the intended behavior.

Changing the action of a form with JavaScript/jQuery

Use Java script to change action url dynamically Works for me well

function chgAction( action_name )
{

 {% for data in sidebar_menu_data %}

     if( action_name== "ABC"){ document.forms.action = "/ABC/";
     }
     else if( action_name== "XYZ"){ document.forms.action = "/XYZ/";
     }

}

<form name="forms" method="post" action="<put default url>" onSubmit="return checkForm(this);">{% csrf_token %} 

How do I insert an image in an activity with android studio?

When you have image into yours drawable gallery then you just need to pick the option of image view pick and drag into app activity you want to show and select the required image.

HTML 5 input type="number" element for floating point numbers on Chrome

Try <input type="number" step="any" />

It won't have validation problems and the arrows will have step of "1"

Constraint validation: When the element has an allowed value step, and the result of applying the algorithm to convert a string to a number to the string given by the element's value is a number, and that number subtracted from the step base is not an integral multiple of the allowed value step, the element is suffering from a step mismatch.

The following range control only accepts values in the range 0..1, and allows 256 steps in that range:

<input name=opacity type=range min=0 max=1 step=0.00392156863>

The following control allows any time in the day to be selected, with any accuracy (e.g. thousandth-of-a-second accuracy or more):

<input name=favtime type=time step=any>

Normally, time controls are limited to an accuracy of one minute.

How do I execute a command and get the output of the command within C++ using POSIX?

Two possible approaches:

  1. I don't think popen() is part of the C++ standard (it's part of POSIX from memory), but it's available on every UNIX I've worked with (and you seem to be targeting UNIX since your command is ./some_command).

  2. On the off-chance that there is no popen(), you can use system("./some_command >/tmp/some_command.out");, then use the normal I/O functions to process the output file.

jQuery - Get Width of Element when Not Visible (Display: None)

Here is a trick I have used. It involves adding some CSS properties to make jQuery think the element is visible, but in fact it is still hidden.

var $table = $("#parent").children("table");
$table.css({ position: "absolute", visibility: "hidden", display: "block" });
var tableWidth = $table.outerWidth();
$table.css({ position: "", visibility: "", display: "" });

It is kind of a hack, but it seems to work fine for me.

UPDATE

I have since written a blog post that covers this topic. The method used above has the potential to be problematic since you are resetting the CSS properties to empty values. What if they had values previously? The updated solution uses the swap() method that was found in the jQuery source code.

Code from referenced blog post:

//Optional parameter includeMargin is used when calculating outer dimensions  
(function ($) {
$.fn.getHiddenDimensions = function (includeMargin) {
    var $item = this,
    props = { position: 'absolute', visibility: 'hidden', display: 'block' },
    dim = { width: 0, height: 0, innerWidth: 0, innerHeight: 0, outerWidth: 0, outerHeight: 0 },
    $hiddenParents = $item.parents().andSelf().not(':visible'),
    includeMargin = (includeMargin == null) ? false : includeMargin;

    var oldProps = [];
    $hiddenParents.each(function () {
        var old = {};

        for (var name in props) {
            old[name] = this.style[name];
            this.style[name] = props[name];
        }

        oldProps.push(old);
    });

    dim.width = $item.width();
    dim.outerWidth = $item.outerWidth(includeMargin);
    dim.innerWidth = $item.innerWidth();
    dim.height = $item.height();
    dim.innerHeight = $item.innerHeight();
    dim.outerHeight = $item.outerHeight(includeMargin);

    $hiddenParents.each(function (i) {
        var old = oldProps[i];
        for (var name in props) {
            this.style[name] = old[name];
        }
    });

    return dim;
}
}(jQuery));

String.contains in Java

Thinking of a string as a set of characters, in mathematics the empty set is always a subset of any set.

Sending email with attachments from C#, attachments arrive as Part 1.2 in Thunderbird

Explicitly filling in the ContentDisposition fields did the trick.

if (attachmentFilename != null)
{
    Attachment attachment = new Attachment(attachmentFilename, MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet);
    ContentDisposition disposition = attachment.ContentDisposition;
    disposition.CreationDate = File.GetCreationTime(attachmentFilename);
    disposition.ModificationDate = File.GetLastWriteTime(attachmentFilename);
    disposition.ReadDate = File.GetLastAccessTime(attachmentFilename);
    disposition.FileName = Path.GetFileName(attachmentFilename);
    disposition.Size = new FileInfo(attachmentFilename).Length;
    disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
    message.Attachments.Add(attachment);                
}

BTW, in case of Gmail, you may have some exceptions about ssl secure or even port!

smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.Port = 587;

Looping through a hash, or using an array in PowerShell

Here is another quick way, just using the key as an index into the hash table to get the value:

$hash = @{
    'a' = 1;
    'b' = 2;
    'c' = 3
};

foreach($key in $hash.keys) {
    Write-Host ("Key = " + $key + " and Value = " + $hash[$key]);
}

Count textarea characters

For those wanting a simple solution without jQuery, here's a way.

textarea and message container to put in your form:

<textarea onKeyUp="count_it()" id="text" name="text"></textarea>
Length <span id="counter"></span>

JavaScript:

<script>
function count_it() {
    document.getElementById('counter').innerHTML = document.getElementById('text').value.length;
}
count_it();
</script>

The script counts the characters initially and then for every keystroke and puts the number in the counter span.

Retrieve the position (X,Y) of an HTML element relative to the browser window

This is easy as two lines in JS :

var elem = document.getElementById("id");    
alert(elem.getBoundingClientRect());

Is there a <meta> tag to turn off caching in all browsers?

It doesn't work in IE5, but that's not a big issue.

However, cacheing headers are unreliable in meta elements; for one, any web proxies between the site and the user will completely ignore them. You should always use a real HTTP header for headers such as Cache-Control and Pragma.

Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application with JDK 11

This worked for me:

File >> Project Structure >> Modules >> Dependency >> + (on left-side of window)

clicking the "+" sign will let you designate the directory where you have unpacked JavaFX's "lib" folder.

Scope is Compile (which is the default.) You can then edit this to call it JavaFX by double-clicking on the line.

then in:

Run >> Edit Configurations

Add this line to VM Options:

--module-path /path/to/JavaFX/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls

(oh and don't forget to set the SDK)

Set HTTP header for one request

There's a headers parameter in the config object you pass to $http for per-call headers:

$http({method: 'GET', url: 'www.google.com/someapi', headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ=='}
});

Or with the shortcut method:

$http.get('www.google.com/someapi', {
    headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ=='}
});

The list of the valid parameters is available in the $http service documentation.

Picking a random element from a set

after reading this thread, the best i could write is:

static Random random = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
public static <T> T randomChoice(T[] choices)
{
    int index = random.nextInt(choices.length);
    return choices[index];
}

How to do "If Clicked Else .."

This is all you need: http://api.jquery.com/click/

Having an "else" doesn't apply in this scenario, else would mean "did not click", in which case you just wouldn't do anything.
