How to read embedded resource text file

In Visual Studio you can directly embed access to a file resource via the Resources tab of the Project properties ("Analytics" in this example). visual studio screen shot - Resources tab

The resulting file can then be accessed as a byte array by

byte[] jsonSecrets = GoogleAnalyticsExtractor.Properties.Resources.client_secrets_reporter;

Should you need it as a stream, then ( from https://stackoverflow.com/a/4736185/432976 )

Stream stream = new MemoryStream(jsonSecrets)

How to get current instance name from T-SQL

Why stop at just the instance name? You can inventory your SQL Server environment with following:

SELECT  
    SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS ServerName,  
    SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') AS MachineName,
    CASE 
        WHEN  SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName') IS NULL THEN ''
        ELSE SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName')
    END AS InstanceName,
    '' as Port, --need to update to strip from Servername. Note: Assumes Registered Server is named with Port
    SUBSTRING ( (SELECT @@VERSION),1, CHARINDEX('-',(SELECT @@VERSION))-1 ) as ProductName,
    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS ProductVersion,  
    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') AS ProductLevel,
    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMajorVersion') AS ProductMajorVersion,
    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMinorVersion') AS ProductMinorVersion,
    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductBuild') AS ProductBuild,
    SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') AS Edition,
    CASE SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition')
        WHEN 1 THEN 'PERSONAL'
        WHEN 2 THEN 'STANDARD'
        WHEN 3 THEN 'ENTERPRISE'
        WHEN 4 THEN 'EXPRESS'
        WHEN 5 THEN 'SQL DATABASE'
        WHEN 6 THEN 'SQL DATAWAREHOUSE'
    END AS EngineEdition,  
    CASE SERVERPROPERTY('IsHadrEnabled')
        WHEN 0 THEN 'The Always On Availability Groups feature is disabled'

Iterate through 2 dimensional array

These functions should work.

// First, cache your array dimensions so you don't have to
//  access them during each iteration of your for loops.
int rowLength = array.length,       // array width (# of columns)
    colLength = array[0].length;    // array height (# of rows)

//     This is your function:
// Prints array elements row by row
var rowString = "";
for(int x = 0; x < rowLength; x++){     // x is the column's index
    for(int y = 0; y < colLength; y++){ // y is the row's index
        rowString += array[x][y];
    } System.out.println(rowString)
}

//      This is the one you want:
// Prints array elements column by column
var colString = "";
for(int y = 0; y < colLength; y++){      // y is the row's index
    for(int x = 0; x < rowLength; x++){  // x is the column's index
        colString += array[x][y];
    } System.out.println(colString)
}

In the first block, the inner loop iterates over each item in the row before moving to the next column.

In the second block (the one you want), the inner loop iterates over all the columns before moving to the next row.

tl;dr: Essentially, the for() loops in both functions are switched. That's it.

I hope this helps you to understand the logic behind iterating over 2-dimensional arrays.

Also, this works whether you have a string[,] or string[][]

Object creation on the stack/heap?

In both your examples, local variables of Object* type are allocated on the stack. The compiler is free to produce the same code from both snippets if there is no way for your program to detect a difference.

The memory area for global variables is the same as the memory area for static variables - it's neither on the stack nor on the heap. You can place variables in that area by declaring them static inside the function. The consequence of doing so is that the instance becomes shared among concurrent invocations of your function, so you need to carefully consider synchronization when you use statics.

Here is a link to a discussion of the memory layout of a running C program.

What is the difference between BIT and TINYINT in MySQL?

BIT should only allow 0 and 1 (and NULL, if the field is not defined as NOT NULL). TINYINT(1) allows any value that can be stored in a single byte, -128..127 or 0..255 depending on whether or not it's unsigned (the 1 shows that you intend to only use a single digit, but it does not prevent you from storing a larger value).

For versions older than 5.0.3, BIT is interpreted as TINYINT(1), so there's no difference there.

BIT has a "this is a boolean" semantic, and some apps will consider TINYINT(1) the same way (due to the way MySQL used to treat it), so apps may format the column as a check box if they check the type and decide upon a format based on that.

Undefined reference to sqrt (or other mathematical functions)

You may find that you have to link with the math libraries on whatever system you're using, something like:

gcc -o myprog myprog.c -L/path/to/libs -lm
                                       ^^^ - this bit here.

Including headers lets a compiler know about function declarations but it does not necessarily automatically link to the code required to perform that function.

Failing that, you'll need to show us your code, your compile command and the platform you're running on (operating system, compiler, etc).

The following code compiles and links fine:

#include <math.h>
int main (void) {
    int max = sqrt (9);
    return 0;
}

Just be aware that some compilation systems depend on the order in which libraries are given on the command line. By that, I mean they may process the libraries in sequence and only use them to satisfy unresolved symbols at that point in the sequence.

So, for example, given the commands:

gcc -o plugh plugh.o -lxyzzy
gcc -o plugh -lxyzzy plugh.o

and plugh.o requires something from the xyzzy library, the second may not work as you expect. At the point where you list the library, there are no unresolved symbols to satisfy.

And when the unresolved symbols from plugh.o do appear, it's too late.

Failed to locate the winutils binary in the hadoop binary path

I used "hbase-1.3.0" and "hadoop-2.7.3" versions. Setting HADOOP_HOME environment variable and copying 'winutils.exe' file under HADOOP_HOME/bin folder solves the problem on a windows os. Attention to set HADOOP_HOME environment to the installation folder of hadoop(/bin folder is not necessary for these versions). Additionally I preferred using cross platform tool cygwin to settle linux os functionality (as possible as it can) because Hbase team recommend linux/unix env.

How to create a directive with a dynamic template in AngularJS?

I managed to deal with this problem. Below is the link :

https://github.com/nakosung/ng-dynamic-template-example

with the specific file being:

dynamicTemplate directive hosts dynamic template which is passed within scope and hosted element acts like other native angular elements.

scope.template = '< div ng-controller="SomeUberCtrl">rocks< /div>'

Pass props to parent component in React.js

Edit: see the end examples for ES6 updated examples.

This answer simply handle the case of direct parent-child relationship. When parent and child have potentially a lot of intermediaries, check this answer.

Other solutions are missing the point

While they still work fine, other answers are missing something very important.

Is there not a simple way to pass a child's props to its parent using events, in React.js?

The parent already has that child prop!: if the child has a prop, then it is because its parent provided that prop to the child! Why do you want the child to pass back the prop to the parent, while the parent obviously already has that prop?

Better implementation

Child: it really does not have to be more complicated than that.

var Child = React.createClass({
  render: function () {
    return <button onClick={this.props.onClick}>{this.props.text}</button>;
  },
});

Parent with single child: using the value it passes to the child

var Parent = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
     return {childText: "Click me! (parent prop)"};
  },
  render: function () {
    return (
      <Child onClick={this.handleChildClick} text={this.state.childText}/>
    );
  },
  handleChildClick: function(event) {
     // You can access the prop you pass to the children 
     // because you already have it! 
     // Here you have it in state but it could also be
     //  in props, coming from another parent.
     alert("The Child button text is: " + this.state.childText);
     // You can also access the target of the click here 
     // if you want to do some magic stuff
     alert("The Child HTML is: " + event.target.outerHTML);
  }
});

JsFiddle

Parent with list of children: you still have everything you need on the parent and don't need to make the child more complicated.

var Parent = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
     return {childrenData: [
         {childText: "Click me 1!", childNumber: 1},
         {childText: "Click me 2!", childNumber: 2}
     ]};
  },
  render: function () {
    var children = this.state.childrenData.map(function(childData,childIndex) {
        return <Child onClick={this.handleChildClick.bind(null,childData)} text={childData.childText}/>;
    }.bind(this));
    return <div>{children}</div>;
  },

  handleChildClick: function(childData,event) {
     alert("The Child button data is: " + childData.childText + " - " + childData.childNumber);
     alert("The Child HTML is: " + event.target.outerHTML);
  }
});

JsFiddle

It is also possible to use this.handleChildClick.bind(null,childIndex) and then use this.state.childrenData[childIndex]

Note we are binding with a null context because otherwise React issues a warning related to its autobinding system. Using null means you don't want to change the function context. See also.

About encapsulation and coupling in other answers

This is for me a bad idea in term of coupling and encapsulation:

var Parent = React.createClass({
  handleClick: function(childComponent) {
     // using childComponent.props
     // using childComponent.refs.button
     // or anything else using childComponent
  },
  render: function() {
    <Child onClick={this.handleClick} />
  }
});

Using props: As I explained above, you already have the props in the parent so it's useless to pass the whole child component to access props.

Using refs: You already have the click target in the event, and in most case this is enough. Additionnally, you could have used a ref directly on the child:

<Child ref="theChild" .../>

And access the DOM node in the parent with

React.findDOMNode(this.refs.theChild)

For more advanced cases where you want to access multiple refs of the child in the parent, the child could pass all the dom nodes directly in the callback.

The component has an interface (props) and the parent should not assume anything about the inner working of the child, including its inner DOM structure or which DOM nodes it declares refs for. A parent using a ref of a child means that you tightly couple the 2 components.

To illustrate the issue, I'll take this quote about the Shadow DOM, that is used inside browsers to render things like sliders, scrollbars, video players...:

They created a boundary between what you, the Web developer can reach and what’s considered implementation details, thus inaccessible to you. The browser however, can traipse across this boundary at will. With this boundary in place, they were able to build all HTML elements using the same good-old Web technologies, out of the divs and spans just like you would.

The problem is that if you let the child implementation details leak into the parent, you make it very hard to refactor the child without affecting the parent. This means as a library author (or as a browser editor with Shadow DOM) this is very dangerous because you let the client access too much, making it very hard to upgrade code without breaking retrocompatibility.

If Chrome had implemented its scrollbar letting the client access the inner dom nodes of that scrollbar, this means that the client may have the possibility to simply break that scrollbar, and that apps would break more easily when Chrome perform its auto-update after refactoring the scrollbar... Instead, they only give access to some safe things like customizing some parts of the scrollbar with CSS.

About using anything else

Passing the whole component in the callback is dangerous and may lead novice developers to do very weird things like calling childComponent.setState(...) or childComponent.forceUpdate(), or assigning it new variables, inside the parent, making the whole app much harder to reason about.


Edit: ES6 examples

As many people now use ES6, here are the same examples for ES6 syntax

The child can be very simple:

const Child = ({
  onClick, 
  text
}) => (
  <button onClick={onClick}>
    {text}
  </button>
)

The parent can be either a class (and it can eventually manage the state itself, but I'm passing it as props here:

class Parent1 extends React.Component {
  handleChildClick(childData,event) {
     alert("The Child button data is: " + childData.childText + " - " + childData.childNumber);
     alert("The Child HTML is: " + event.target.outerHTML);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        {this.props.childrenData.map(child => (
          <Child
            key={child.childNumber}
            text={child.childText} 
            onClick={e => this.handleChildClick(child,e)}
          />
        ))}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

But it can also be simplified if it does not need to manage state:

const Parent2 = ({childrenData}) => (
  <div>
     {childrenData.map(child => (
       <Child
         key={child.childNumber}
         text={child.childText} 
         onClick={e => {
            alert("The Child button data is: " + child.childText + " - " + child.childNumber);
                    alert("The Child HTML is: " + e.target.outerHTML);
         }}
       />
     ))}
  </div>
)

JsFiddle


PERF WARNING (apply to ES5/ES6): if you are using PureComponent or shouldComponentUpdate, the above implementations will not be optimized by default because using onClick={e => doSomething()}, or binding directly during the render phase, because it will create a new function everytime the parent renders. If this is a perf bottleneck in your app, you can pass the data to the children, and reinject it inside "stable" callback (set on the parent class, and binded to this in class constructor) so that PureComponent optimization can kick in, or you can implement your own shouldComponentUpdate and ignore the callback in the props comparison check.

You can also use Recompose library, which provide higher order components to achieve fine-tuned optimisations:

// A component that is expensive to render
const ExpensiveComponent = ({ propA, propB }) => {...}

// Optimized version of same component, using shallow comparison of props
// Same effect as React's PureRenderMixin
const OptimizedComponent = pure(ExpensiveComponent)

// Even more optimized: only updates if specific prop keys have changed
const HyperOptimizedComponent = onlyUpdateForKeys(['propA', 'propB'])(ExpensiveComponent)

In this case you could optimize the Child component by using:

const OptimizedChild = onlyUpdateForKeys(['text'])(Child)

Inner join with 3 tables in mysql

The correct statement should be :

SELECT
  student.firstname,
  student.lastname,
  exam.name,
  exam.date,
  grade.grade
FROM grade
  INNER JOIN student
    ON student.studentId = grade.fk_studentId
  INNER JOIN exam
    ON exam.examId = grade.fk_examId
ORDER BY exam.date

A table is refered to other on the basis of the foreign key relationship defined. You should refer the ids properly if you wish the data to show as queried. So you should refer the id's to the proper foreign keys in the table rather than just on the id which doesn't define a proper relation

How to change the size of the radio button using CSS?

This works fine for me in all browsers:

(inline style for simplicity...)

<label style="font-size:16px;">
    <input style="height:1em; width:1em;" type="radio">
    <span>Button One</span>
</label>

The size of both the radio button and text will change with the label's font-size.

NSCameraUsageDescription in iOS 10.0 runtime crash?

Another instance that I faced while trying to use the camera, was that it was still busy crashing giving same _CRASHING_DUE_TO_PRIVACY even after adding the "Camera Usage Description". After failing to get anything tangible from the call stack, switched to the "Organizer" and looked into the crash reports on the device. I found that it was in fact complaining about the privacy due to the missing "Microphone Usage Description". I added that and got rid of such a cryptic break down.

What is an uber jar?

The different names are just ways of packaging java apps.

Skinny – Contains ONLY the bits you literally type into your code editor, and NOTHING else.

Thin – Contains all of the above PLUS the app’s direct dependencies of your app (db drivers, utility libraries, etc).

Hollow – The inverse of Thin – Contains only the bits needed to run your app but does NOT contain the app itself. Basically a pre-packaged “app server” to which you can later deploy your app, in the same style as traditional Java EE app servers, but with important differences.

Fat/Uber – Contains the bit you literally write yourself PLUS the direct dependencies of your app PLUS the bits needed to run your app “on its own”.

Google Authenticator available as a public service?

The project is open source. I have not used it. But it's using a documented algorithm (noted in the RFC listed on the open source project page), and the authenticator implementations support multiple accounts.

The actual process is straightforward. The one time code is, essentially, a pseudo random number generator. A random number generator is a formula that once given a seed, or starting number, continues to create a stream of random numbers. Given a seed, while the numbers may be random to each other, the sequence itself is deterministic. So, once you have your device and the server "in sync" then the random numbers that the device creates, each time you hit the "next number button", will be the same, random, numbers the server expects.

A secure one time password system is more sophisticated than a random number generator, but the concept is similar. There are also other details to help keep the device and server in sync.

So, there's no need for someone else to host the authentication, like, say OAuth. Instead you need to implement that algorithm that is compatible with the apps that Google provides for the mobile devices. That software is (should be) available on the open source project.

Depending on your sophistication, you should have all you need to implement the server side of this process give the OSS project and the RFC. I do not know if there is a specific implementation for your server software (PHP, Java, .NET, etc.)

But, specifically, you don't need an offsite service to handle this.

Bootstrap datepicker disabling past dates without current date

It depends on what format you put on the datepicker So first we gave it the format.

    var today = new Date();
    var dd = today.getDate();
    var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!

    var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
    if(dd<10){
        dd='0'+dd;
    } 
    if(mm<10){
        mm='0'+mm;
    } 
    var today = yyyy+'-'+mm+'-'+dd; //Here you put the format you want

Then Pass the datepicker (depends on the version you using, could be startDate or minDate which is my case )

    //Datetimepicker
    $(function () {
        $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
            minDate: today, //pass today's date
            daysOfWeekDisabled: [0],
            locale: 'es',
            inline: true,
            format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm', //format of my datetime (to save on mysqlphpadmin)
            sideBySide: true
        });
    });

Define a fixed-size list in Java

If you want to use ArrayList or LinkedList, it seems that the answer is no. Although there are some classes in java that you can set them fixed size, like PriorityQueue, ArrayList and LinkedList can't, because there is no constructor for these two to specify capacity.

If you want to stick to ArrayList/LinkedList, one easy solution is to check the size manually each time.

public void fixedAdd(List<Integer> list, int val, int size) {
    list.add(val);
    if(list.size() > size) list.remove(0);
}

LinkedList is better than ArrayList in this situation. Suppose there are many values to be added but the list size is quite samll, there will be many remove operations. The reason is that the cost of removing from ArrayList is O(N), but only O(1) for LinkedList.

How to loop in excel without VBA or macros?

@Nat gave a good answer. But since there is no way to shorten a code, why not use contatenate to 'generate' the code you need. It works for me when I'm lazy (at typing the whole code in the cell).

So what we need is just identify the pattern > use excel to built the pattern 'structure' > add " = " and paste it in the intended cell.

=IF('testsheet'!$C$1 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$1,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$2 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$2,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$3 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$3,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$4 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$4,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$5 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$5,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$6 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$6,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$7 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$7,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$8 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$8,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$9 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$9,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$10 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$10,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$11 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$11,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$12 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$12,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$13 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$13,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$14 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$14,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$15 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$15,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$16 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$16,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$17 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$17,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$18 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$18,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$19 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$19,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$20 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$20,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$21 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$21,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$22 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$22,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$23 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$23,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$24 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$24,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$25 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$25,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$26 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$26,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$27 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$27,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$28 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$28,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$29 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$29,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$30 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$30,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$31 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$31,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$32 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$32,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$33 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$33,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$34 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$34,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$35 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$35,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$36 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$36,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$37 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$37,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$38 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$38,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$39 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$39,"") &IF('testsheet'!$C$40 <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$40,"") 

I didn't type it, I just use "&" symbol to combine arranged cell in excel (another file, not the file we are working on).

Notice that :

part1 > IF('testsheet'!$C$

part2 > 1 to 40

part3 > <= 99,'testsheet'!$A$

part4 > 1 to 40

part5 > ,"") &

  • Enter part1 to A1, part3 to C1, part to E1.
  • Enter " = A1 " in A2, " = C1 " in C2, " = E1 " in E2.
  • Enter " = B1+1 " in B2, " = D1+1 " in D2.
  • Enter " =A2&B2&C2&D2&E2 " in G2
  • Enter " =I1&G2 " in I2

Now select A2:I2 , and drag it down. Notice that the number did the increament per row added, and the generated text is combined, cell by cell and line by line.

  • Copy I41 content,
  • paste it somewhere, add " = " in front, remove the extra & and the back.

Result = code as you intended.

How to close a thread from within?

When you start a thread, it begins executing a function you give it (if you're extending threading.Thread, the function will be run()). To end the thread, just return from that function.

According to this, you can also call thread.exit(), which will throw an exception that will end the thread silently.

Difference between partition key, composite key and clustering key in Cassandra?

In brief sense:

Partition Key is nothing but identification for a row, that identification most of the times is the single column (called Primary Key) sometimes a combination of multiple columns (called Composite Partition Key).

Cluster key is nothing but Indexing & Sorting. Cluster keys depend on few things:

  1. What columns you use in where clause except primary key columns.

  2. If you have very large records then on what concern I can divide the date for easy management. Example, I have data of 1million a county population records. So for easy management, I cluster data based on state and after pincode and so on.

How to access the request body when POSTing using Node.js and Express?

If you're lazy enough to read chunks of post data. you could simply paste below lines to read json.

Below is for TypeScript similar can be done for JS as well.

app.ts

 import bodyParser from "body-parser";
 // support application/json type post data
 this.app.use(bodyParser.json());
 // support application/x-www-form-urlencoded post data
 this.app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

In one of your any controller which receives POST call use as shown below

userController.ts

 public async POSTUser(_req: Request, _res: Response) {
   try {
          const onRecord = <UserModel>_req.body;
           /* Your business logic */
           _res.status(201).send("User Created");
        }
    else{
           _res.status(500).send("Server error");
           }        
   };

_req.body should be parsing you json data into your TS Model.

Issue with adding common code as git submodule: "already exists in the index"

I had the same problem and after hours of looking found the answer.

The error I was getting was a little different: <path> already exists and is not a valid git repo (and added here for SEO value)

The solution is to NOT create the directory that will house the submodule. The directory will be created as part of the git submodule add command.

Also, the argument is expected to be relative to the parent-repo root, not your working directory, so watch out for that.

Solution for the example above:

  1. It IS okay to have your parent repo already cloned.
  2. Make sure the common_code directory does not exist.
  3. cd Repo
  4. git submodule add git://url_to_repo projectfolder/common_code/ (Note the required trailing slash.)
  5. Sanity restored.

I hope this helps someone, as there is very little information to be found elsewhere about this.

Error In PHP5 ..Unable to load dynamic library

I had enabled the extension_dir in php.ini by uncommenting,

  extension_dir = "ext"
  extension=phpchartdir550.dll

and copying phpchartdir550 dll to the extension_dir (/usr/lib/php5/20121212), resulted in the same error.

  PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext/phpchartdir550.dll' - ext/phpchartdir550.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
  PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext/pdo.so' - ext/pdo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
  PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext/gd.so' - ext/gd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

As @Mike pointed out, it is not necessary to install all the stuff when they are not actually required in the application.

The easier way is to provide the full path to the extensions to be loaded after copying the libraries to the correct location.

Copy phpchartdir550.dll to /usr/lib/php5/20121212, which is the extension_dir in my Ubuntu 14.04 (this can be seen using phpinfo()) and then provide full path to the library in php.ini,

;   extension=/path/to/extension/msql.so
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/phpchartdir550.dll

restart apache: sudo service apache2 restart

even though other .so's are present in the same directory, only the required ones can be selectively loaded.

HTML checkbox onclick called in Javascript

Label without an onclick will behave as you would expect. It changes the input. What you relly want is to execute selectAll() when you click on a label, right? Then only add select all to the label onclick. Or wrap the input into the the label and assign onclick only for the label

<label for="check_all_1" onclick="selectAll(document.wizard_form, this);">
  <input type="checkbox" id="check_all_1" name="check_all_1" title="Select All">
  Select All
</label>

How to prove that a problem is NP complete?

To show a problem is NP complete, you need to:

Show it is in NP

In other words, given some information C, you can create a polynomial time algorithm V that will verify for every possible input X whether X is in your domain or not.

Example

Prove that the problem of vertex covers (that is, for some graph G, does it have a vertex cover set of size k such that every edge in G has at least one vertex in the cover set?) is in NP:

  • our input X is some graph G and some number k (this is from the problem definition)

  • Take our information C to be "any possible subset of vertices in graph G of size k"

  • Then we can write an algorithm V that, given G, k and C, will return whether that set of vertices is a vertex cover for G or not, in polynomial time.

Then for every graph G, if there exists some "possible subset of vertices in G of size k" which is a vertex cover, then G is in NP.

Note that we do not need to find C in polynomial time. If we could, the problem would be in `P.

Note that algorithm V should work for every G, for some C. For every input there should exist information that could help us verify whether the input is in the problem domain or not. That is, there should not be an input where the information doesn't exist.

Prove it is NP Hard

This involves getting a known NP-complete problem like SAT, the set of boolean expressions in the form:

(A or B or C) and (D or E or F) and ...

where the expression is satisfiable, that is there exists some setting for these booleans, which makes the expression true.

Then reduce the NP-complete problem to your problem in polynomial time.

That is, given some input X for SAT (or whatever NP-complete problem you are using), create some input Y for your problem, such that X is in SAT if and only if Y is in your problem. The function f : X -> Y must run in polynomial time.

In the example above, the input Y would be the graph G and the size of the vertex cover k.

For a full proof, you'd have to prove both:

  • that X is in SAT => Y in your problem

  • and Y in your problem => X in SAT.

marcog's answer has a link with several other NP-complete problems you could reduce to your problem.

Footnote: In step 2 (Prove it is NP-hard), reducing another NP-hard (not necessarily NP-complete) problem to the current problem will do, since NP-complete problems are a subset of NP-hard problems (that are also in NP).

How to check if variable's type matches Type stored in a variable

You need to see if the Type of your instance is equal to the Type of the class. To get the type of the instance you use the GetType() method:

 u.GetType().Equals(t);

or

 u.GetType.Equals(typeof(User));

should do it. Obviously you could use '==' to do your comparison if you prefer.

how to use the Box-Cox power transformation in R

According to the Box-cox transformation formula in the paper Box,George E. P.; Cox,D.R.(1964). "An analysis of transformations", I think mlegge's post might need to be slightly edited.The transformed y should be (y^(lambda)-1)/lambda instead of y^(lambda). (Actually, y^(lambda) is called Tukey transformation, which is another distinct transformation formula.)
So, the code should be:

(trans <- bc$x[which.max(bc$y)])
[1] 0.4242424
# re-run with transformation
mnew <- lm(((y^trans-1)/trans) ~ x) # Instead of mnew <- lm(y^trans ~ x)

Please correct me if I misunderstood it.

Can a CSS class inherit one or more other classes?

As others have said, you can add multiple classes to an element.

But that's not really the point. I get your question about inheritance. The real point is that inheritance in CSS is done not through classes, but through element hierarchies. So to model inherited traits you need to apply them to different levels of elements in the DOM.

Difference between "managed" and "unmanaged"

Managed Code

Managed code is what Visual Basic .NET and C# compilers create. It runs on the CLR (Common Language Runtime), which, among other things, offers services like garbage collection, run-time type checking, and reference checking. So, think of it as, "My code is managed by the CLR."

Visual Basic and C# can only produce managed code, so, if you're writing an application in one of those languages you are writing an application managed by the CLR. If you are writing an application in Visual C++ .NET you can produce managed code if you like, but it's optional.

Unmanaged Code

Unmanaged code compiles straight to machine code. So, by that definition all code compiled by traditional C/C++ compilers is 'unmanaged code'. Also, since it compiles to machine code and not an intermediate language it is non-portable.

No free memory management or anything else the CLR provides.

Since you cannot create unmanaged code with Visual Basic or C#, in Visual Studio all unmanaged code is written in C/C++.

Mixing the two

Since Visual C++ can be compiled to either managed or unmanaged code it is possible to mix the two in the same application. This blurs the line between the two and complicates the definition, but it's worth mentioning just so you know that you can still have memory leaks if, for example, you're using a third party library with some badly written unmanaged code.

Here's an example I found by googling:

#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;

#include "stdio.h"

void ManagedFunction()
{
    printf("Hello, I'm managed in this section\n");
}

#pragma unmanaged
UnmanagedFunction()
{
    printf("Hello, I am unmanaged through the wonder of IJW!\n");
    ManagedFunction();
}

#pragma managed
int main()
{
    UnmanagedFunction();
    return 0;
}

Check If only numeric values were entered in input. (jQuery)

This isn't an exact answer to the question, but one other option for phone validation, is to ensure the number gets entered in the format you are expecting.

Here is a function I have worked on that when set to the onInput event, will strip any non-numerical inputs, and auto-insert dashes at the "right" spot, assuming xxx-xxx-xxxx is the desired output.

<input oninput="formatPhone()">

function formatPhone(e) {
    var x = e.target.value.replace(/\D/g, '').match(/(\d{0,3})(\d{0,3})(\d{0,4})/);
    e.target.value = !x[2] ? x[1] : x[1] + '-' + x[2] + (x[3] ? '-' + x[3] : '');
}

Open a folder using Process.Start

Do you have a lot of applications running when you are trying this? I encounter weird behavior at work sometimes because my system runs out of GDI Handles as I have so many windows open (our apps use alot).

When this happens, windows and context menus no long appear until I close something to free up some GDI handles.

The default limit in XP and Vista is 10000. It is not uncommon for my DevStudio to have 1500 GDI handles, so if you have a couple of copies of Dev studio open, it can eat them up pretty quickly. You can add a column in TaskManager to see how many handles are being used by each process.

There is a registry tweak you can do to increase the limit.

Python interpreter error, x takes no arguments (1 given)

I have been puzzled a lot with this problem, since I am relively new in Python. I cannot apply the solution to the code given by the questioned, since it's not self executable. So I bring a very simple code:

from turtle import *

ts = Screen(); tu = Turtle()

def move(x,y):
  print "move()"
  tu.goto(100,100)

ts.listen();
ts.onclick(move)

done()

As you can see, the solution consists in using two (dummy) arguments, even if they are not used either by the function itself or in calling it! It sounds crazy, but I believe there must be a reason for it (hidden from the novice!).

I have tried a lot of other ways ('self' included). It's the only one that works (for me, at least).

Big O, how do you calculate/approximate it?

Big O gives the upper bound for time complexity of an algorithm. It is usually used in conjunction with processing data sets (lists) but can be used elsewhere.

A few examples of how it's used in C code.

Say we have an array of n elements

int array[n];

If we wanted to access the first element of the array this would be O(1) since it doesn't matter how big the array is, it always takes the same constant time to get the first item.

x = array[0];

If we wanted to find a number in the list:

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
    if(array[i] == numToFind){ return i; }
}

This would be O(n) since at most we would have to look through the entire list to find our number. The Big-O is still O(n) even though we might find our number the first try and run through the loop once because Big-O describes the upper bound for an algorithm (omega is for lower bound and theta is for tight bound).

When we get to nested loops:

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
    for(int j = i; j < n; j++){
        array[j] += 2;
    }
}

This is O(n^2) since for each pass of the outer loop ( O(n) ) we have to go through the entire list again so the n's multiply leaving us with n squared.

This is barely scratching the surface but when you get to analyzing more complex algorithms complex math involving proofs comes into play. Hope this familiarizes you with the basics at least though.

What are abstract classes and abstract methods?

abstract method do not have body.A well defined method can't be declared abstract.

A class which has abstract method must be declared as abstract.

Abstract class can't be instantiated.

Android Google Maps v2 - set zoom level for myLocation

It's doubtful you can change it on click with the default myLocation Marker. However, if you would like the app to automatically zoom in on your location once it is found, I would check out my answer to this question

Note that the answer I provided does not zoom in, but if you modify the onLocationChanged method to be like the one below, you can choose whatever zoom level you like:

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) 
{
    if( mListener != null )
    {
        mListener.onLocationChanged( location );

        //Move the camera to the user's location and zoom in!
        mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()), 12.0f));
    }

Difference between Select Unique and Select Distinct

Only In Oracle =>

SELECT DISTINCT and SELECT UNIQUE behave the same way. While DISTINCT is ANSI SQL standard, UNIQUE is an Oracle specific statement.

In other databases (like sql-server in your case) =>

SELECT UNIQUE is invalid syntax. UNIQUE is keyword for adding unique constraint on the column.

SELECT DISTINCT

Converting a string to a date in a cell

To accomodate both data scenarios you have, you will want to use this:

datevalue(text(a2,"mm/dd/yyyy"))

That will give you the date number representation for a cell that Excel has in date, or in text datatype.

ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace SYSTEM: How to extend?

Each tablespace has one or more datafiles that it uses to store data.

The max size of a datafile depends on the block size of the database. I believe that, by default, that leaves with you with a max of 32gb per datafile.

To find out if the actual limit is 32gb, run the following:

select value from v$parameter where name = 'db_block_size';

Compare the result you get with the first column below, and that will indicate what your max datafile size is.

I have Oracle Personal Edition 11g r2 and in a default install it had an 8,192 block size (32gb per data file).

Block Sz   Max Datafile Sz (Gb)   Max DB Sz (Tb)

--------   --------------------   --------------

   2,048                  8,192          524,264

   4,096                 16,384        1,048,528

   8,192                 32,768        2,097,056

  16,384                 65,536        4,194,112

  32,768                131,072        8,388,224

You can run this query to find what datafiles you have, what tablespaces they are associated with, and what you've currrently set the max file size to (which cannot exceed the aforementioned 32gb):

select bytes/1024/1024 as mb_size,
       maxbytes/1024/1024 as maxsize_set,
       x.*
from   dba_data_files x

MAXSIZE_SET is the maximum size you've set the datafile to. Also relevant is whether you've set the AUTOEXTEND option to ON (its name does what it implies).

If your datafile has a low max size or autoextend is not on you could simply run:

alter database datafile 'path_to_your_file\that_file.DBF' autoextend on maxsize unlimited;

However if its size is at/near 32gb an autoextend is on, then yes, you do need another datafile for the tablespace:

alter tablespace system add datafile 'path_to_your_datafiles_folder\name_of_df_you_want.dbf' size 10m autoextend on maxsize unlimited;

How do I record audio on iPhone with AVAudioRecorder?

How to redirect a URL path in IIS?

If you have loads of re-directs to create, having loads of virtual directories over the places is a nightmare to maintain. You could try using ISAPI redirect an IIS extension. Then all you re-directs are managed in one place.

http://www.isapirewrite.com/docs/

It allows also you to match patterns based on reg ex expressions etc. I've used where I've had to re-direct 100's of pages and its saved a lot of time.

How do I get a TextBox to only accept numeric input in WPF?

How about this? Works well for me. Hope I didn't miss any edge cases...

MyTextBox.PreviewTextInput += (sender, args) =>
{
    if (!int.TryParse(args.Text, out _))
    {
        args.Handled = true;
    }
};

DataObject.AddPastingHandler(MyTextBox, (sender, args) =>
{
    var isUnicodeText = args.SourceDataObject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.UnicodeText, true);
    if (!isUnicodeText)
    {
        args.CancelCommand();
    }

    var data = args.SourceDataObject.GetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText) as string;
    if (!int.TryParse(data, out _))
    {
        args.CancelCommand();
    }
});

What does the star operator mean, in a function call?

One small point: these are not operators. Operators are used in expressions to create new values from existing values (1+2 becomes 3, for example. The * and ** here are part of the syntax of function declarations and calls.

How to use "like" and "not like" in SQL MSAccess for the same field?

What I found out is that MS Access will reject --Not Like "BB*"-- if not enclosed in PARENTHESES, unlike --Like "BB*"-- which is ok without parentheses.

I tested these on MS Access 2010 and are all valid:

  1. Like "BB"

  2. (Like "BB")

  3. (Not Like "BB")

How do I remove/delete a virtualenv?

The following command works for me.

rm -rf /path/to/virtualenv

Wait until a process ends

You could use wait for exit or you can catch the HasExited property and update your UI to keep the user "informed" (expectation management):

System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd.exe");
while (!process.HasExited)
{
    //update UI
}
//done

What are the rules for JavaScript's automatic semicolon insertion (ASI)?

First of all you should know which statements are affected by the automatic semicolon insertion (also known as ASI for brevity):

  • empty statement
  • var statement
  • expression statement
  • do-while statement
  • continue statement
  • break statement
  • return statement
  • throw statement

The concrete rules of ASI, are described in the specification §11.9.1 Rules of Automatic Semicolon Insertion

Three cases are described:

  1. When an offending token is encountered that is not allowed by the grammar, a semicolon is inserted before it if:
  • The token is separated from the previous token by at least one LineTerminator.
  • The token is }

e.g.:

    { 1
    2 } 3

is transformed to

    { 1
    ;2 ;} 3;

The NumericLiteral 1 meets the first condition, the following token is a line terminator.
The 2 meets the second condition, the following token is }.

  1. When the end of the input stream of tokens is encountered and the parser is unable to parse the input token stream as a single complete Program, then a semicolon is automatically inserted at the end of the input stream.

e.g.:

    a = b
    ++c

is transformed to:

    a = b;
    ++c;
  1. This case occurs when a token is allowed by some production of the grammar, but the production is a restricted production, a semicolon is automatically inserted before the restricted token.

Restricted productions:

    UpdateExpression :
        LeftHandSideExpression [no LineTerminator here] ++
        LeftHandSideExpression [no LineTerminator here] --
    
    ContinueStatement :
        continue ;
        continue [no LineTerminator here] LabelIdentifier ;
    
    BreakStatement :
        break ;
        break [no LineTerminator here] LabelIdentifier ;
    
    ReturnStatement :
        return ;
        return [no LineTerminator here] Expression ;
    
    ThrowStatement :
        throw [no LineTerminator here] Expression ; 

    ArrowFunction :
        ArrowParameters [no LineTerminator here] => ConciseBody

    YieldExpression :
        yield [no LineTerminator here] * AssignmentExpression
        yield [no LineTerminator here] AssignmentExpression

The classic example, with the ReturnStatement:

    return 
      "something";

is transformed to

    return;
      "something";

what does "error : a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object" mean?

CPMSifDlg::EncodeAndSend() method is declared as non-static and thus it must be called using an object of CPMSifDlg. e.g.

CPMSifDlg obj;
return obj.EncodeAndSend(firstName, lastName, roomNumber, userId, userFirstName, userLastName);

If EncodeAndSend doesn't use/relate any specifics of an object (i.e. this) but general for the class CPMSifDlg then declare it as static:

class CPMSifDlg {
...
  static int EncodeAndSend(...);
  ^^^^^^
};

How to scan multiple paths using the @ComponentScan annotation?

I use:

@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.package1","com.package2","com.package3", "com.packagen"})

Run javascript script (.js file) in mongodb including another file inside js

Use Load function

load(filename)

You can directly call any .js file from the mongo shell, and mongo will execute the JavaScript.

Example : mongo localhost:27017/mydb myfile.js

This executes the myfile.js script in mongo shell connecting to mydb database with port 27017 in localhost.

For loading external js you can write

load("/data/db/scripts/myloadjs.js")

Suppose we have two js file myFileOne.js and myFileTwo.js

myFileOne.js

print('From file 1');
load('myFileTwo.js');     // Load other js file .

myFileTwo.js

print('From file 2');

MongoShell

>mongo myFileOne.js

Output

From file 1
From file 2

Determine if JavaScript value is an "integer"?

Try this:

if(Math.floor(id) == id && $.isNumeric(id)) 
  alert('yes its an int!');

$.isNumeric(id) checks whether it's numeric or not
Math.floor(id) == id will then determine if it's really in integer value and not a float. If it's a float parsing it to int will give a different result than the original value. If it's int both will be the same.

How much faster is C++ than C#?

Inspired by this, I did a quick test with 60 percent of common instruction needed in most of the programs.

Here’s the C# code:

for (int i=0; i<1000; i++)
{
    StreamReader str = new StreamReader("file.csv");
    StreamWriter stw = new StreamWriter("examp.csv");
    string strL = "";
    while((strL = str.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        string[] strline = strL.Split(',');
        al.AddRange(strline);
        foreach(string str1 in strline)
        {
            stw.Write(str1 + ",");
        }
        stw.Write("\n");
    }
    str.Close();
    stw.Close();
}

String array and arraylist are used purposely to include those instructions.

Here's the c++ code:

for (int i = 0; i<1000; i++)
{
    std::fstream file("file.csv", ios::in);
    if (!file.is_open())
    {
        std::cout << "File not found!\n";
        return 1;
    }

    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open ("example.txt");
    std::string csvLine;

    while (std::getline(file, csvLine))
    {
        std::istringstream csvStream(csvLine);
        std::vector csvColumn;
        std::string csvElement;

        while( std::getline(csvStream, csvElement, ‘,’) )
        {
            csvColumn.push_back(csvElement);
        }

        for (std::vector::iterator j = csvColumn.begin(); j != csvColumn.end(); ++j)
        {
            myfile << *j << ", ";
        }

        csvColumn.clear();
        csvElement.clear();
        csvLine.clear();
        myfile << "\n";
    }
    myfile.close();
    file.close();
}

The input file size I used was 40 KB.

And here's the result -

  • C++ code ran in 9 seconds.
  • C# code: 4 seconds!!!

Oh, but this was on Linux... With C# running on Mono... And C++ with g++.

OK, this is what I got on Windows – Visual Studio 2003:

  • C# code ran in 9 seconds.
  • C++ code – horrible 370 seconds!!!

PHP reindex array?

This might not be the simplest answer as compared to using array_values().

Try this

$array = array( 0 => 'string1', 2 => 'string2', 4 => 'string3', 5 => 'string4');
$arrays =$array;
print_r($array);
$array=array();
$i=0;
    foreach($arrays as $k => $item)
    {
    $array[$i]=$item;
        unset($arrays[$k]);
        $i++;

    }

print_r($array);

How do you tell if caps lock is on using JavaScript?

You can use a KeyboardEvent to detect numerous keys including the caps lock on most recent browsers.

The getModifierState function will provide the state for:

  • Alt
  • AltGraph
  • CapsLock
  • Control
  • Fn (Android)
  • Meta
  • NumLock
  • OS (Windows & Linux)
  • ScrollLock
  • Shift

This demo works in all major browsers including mobile (caniuse).

passwordField.addEventListener( 'keydown', function( event ) {
  var caps = event.getModifierState && event.getModifierState( 'CapsLock' );
  console.log( caps ); // true when you press the keyboard CapsLock key
});

How to use && in EL boolean expressions in Facelets?

In addition to the answer of BalusC, use the following Java RegExp to replace && with and:

Search:  (#\{[^\}]*)(&&)([^\}]*\})
Replace: $1and$3

You have run this regular expression replacement multiple times to find all occurences in case you are using >2 literals in your EL expressions. Mind to replace the leading # by $ if your EL expression syntax differs.

How to write a JSON file in C#?

The example in Liam's answer saves the file as string in a single line. I prefer to add formatting. Someone in the future may want to change some value manually in the file. If you add formatting it's easier to do so.

The following adds basic JSON indentation:

 string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_data.ToArray(), Formatting.Indented);

Installed SSL certificate in certificate store, but it's not in IIS certificate list

If you are using Godaddy certificate, then the issue is that the machine on which the certificate request is created and the machine on which is you are trying to complete the request are different. So do the following:

  1. Use the "generated-private-key.txt" file that was created the godaddy. Use this file to create .pfx certificate(with private key) you can use OpenSSL command:

    openssl pkcs12 -export -out {mydomain}.pfx -inkey generated-private-key.txt -in {your .crt file}

  2. The above command will generate certificate with private key {mydomain}.pfx.

  3. Import this certificate in IIS using "Import" option

CSS selector for "foo that contains bar"?

Is there any way you could programatically apply a class to the object?

Parsing xml using powershell

First step is to load your xml string into an XmlDocument, using powershell's unique ability to cast strings to [xml]

$doc = [xml]@'
<xml>
    <Section name="BackendStatus">
        <BEName BE="crust" Status="1" />
        <BEName BE="pizza" Status="1" />
        <BEName BE="pie" Status="1" />
        <BEName BE="bread" Status="1" />
        <BEName BE="Kulcha" Status="1" />
        <BEName BE="kulfi" Status="1" />
        <BEName BE="cheese" Status="1" />
    </Section>
</xml>
'@

Powershell makes it really easy to parse xml with the dot notation. This statement will produce a sequence of XmlElements for your BEName elements:

$doc.xml.Section.BEName

Then you can pipe these objects into the where-object cmdlet to filter down the results. You can use ? as a shortcut for where

$doc.xml.Section.BEName | ? { $_.Status -eq 1 }

The expression inside the braces will be evaluated for each XmlElement in the pipeline, and only those that have a Status of 1 will be returned. The $_ operator refers to the current object in the pipeline (an XmlElement).

If you need to do something for every object in your pipeline, you can pipe the objects into the foreach-object cmdlet, which executes a block for every object in the pipeline. % is a shortcut for foreach:

$doc.xml.Section.BEName | ? { $_.Status -eq 1 } | % { $_.BE + " is delicious" }

Powershell is great at this stuff. It's really easy to assemble pipelines of objects, filter pipelines, and do operations on each object in the pipeline.

Delaying AngularJS route change until model loaded to prevent flicker

You can use $routeProvider resolve property to delay route change until data is loaded.

angular.module('app', ['ngRoute']).
  config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider, EntitiesCtrlResolve, EntityCtrlResolve) {
    $routeProvider.
      when('/entities', {
        templateUrl: 'entities.html', 
        controller: 'EntitiesCtrl', 
        resolve: EntitiesCtrlResolve
      }).
      when('/entity/:entityId', {
        templateUrl: 'entity.html', 
        controller: 'EntityCtrl', 
        resolve: EntityCtrlResolve
      }).
      otherwise({redirectTo: '/entities'});
}]);

Notice that the resolve property is defined on route.

EntitiesCtrlResolve and EntityCtrlResolve is constant objects defined in same file as EntitiesCtrl and EntityCtrl controllers.

// EntitiesCtrl.js

angular.module('app').constant('EntitiesCtrlResolve', {
  Entities: function(EntitiesService) {
    return EntitiesService.getAll();
  }
});

angular.module('app').controller('EntitiesCtrl', function(Entities) {
  $scope.entities = Entities;

  // some code..
});

// EntityCtrl.js

angular.module('app').constant('EntityCtrlResolve', {
  Entity: function($route, EntitiesService) {
    return EntitiesService.getById($route.current.params.projectId);
  }
});

angular.module('app').controller('EntityCtrl', function(Entity) {
  $scope.entity = Entity;

  // some code..
});

How can I set the default value for an HTML <select> element?

In case you want to have a default text as a sort of placeholder/hint but not considered a valid value (something like "complete here", "select your nation" ecc.) you can do something like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<select>_x000D_
  <option value="" selected disabled hidden>Choose here</option>_x000D_
  <option value="1">One</option>_x000D_
  <option value="2">Two</option>_x000D_
  <option value="3">Three</option>_x000D_
  <option value="4">Four</option>_x000D_
  <option value="5">Five</option>_x000D_
</select>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Excel - Button to go to a certain sheet

Alternately, if you are using a Macro Enabled workbook:

Add any control at all from the Developer -> Insert (Probably a button)

When it asks what Macro to assign, choose New. For the code for the generated module enter something like:

Thisworkbook.Sheets("Sheet Name").Activate

However, if you are not using Macros in your work book. Ooo's approach is definitely surperior as hyperlinks will work with no need to trust the document.

Connect Android to WiFi Enterprise network EAP(PEAP)

Finally, I've defeated my CiSCO EAP-FAST corporate wifi network, and all our Android devices are now able to connect to it.

The walk-around I've performed in order to gain access to this kind of networks from an Android device are easiest than you can imagine.

There's a Wifi Config Editor in the Google Play Store you can use to "activate" the secondary CISCO Protocols when you are setting up a EAP wifi connection.

Its name is Wifi Config Advanced Editor.

  • First, you have to setup your wireless network manually as close as you can to your "official" corporate wifi parameters.

  • Save it.

  • Go to the WCE and edit the parameters of the network you have created in the previous step.

  • There are 3 or 4 series of settings you should activate in order to force the Android device to use them as a way to connect (the main site I think you want to visit is Enterprise Configuration, but don't forget to check all the parameters to change them if needed.
    As a suggestion, even if you have a WPA2 EAP-FAST Cipher, try LEAP in your setup. It worked for me as a charm.

  • When you finished to edit the config, go to the main Android wifi controller, and force to connect to this network.

  • Do not Edit the network again with the Android wifi interface.

I have tested it on Samsung Galaxy 1 and 2, Note mobile devices, and on a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.

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

Or, if you want to send the custom header for every future request, then you could use the following:

$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: { "CustomHeader": "myValue" }
});

This way every future ajax request will contain the custom header, unless explicitly overridden by the options of the request. You can find more info on ajaxSetup here

Two Divs on the same row and center align both of them

both floated divs need to have a width!

set 50% of width to both and it works.

BTW, the outer div, with its margin: 0 auto will only center itself not the ones inside.

Simple PHP Pagination script

This is a mix of HTML and code but it's pretty basic, easy to understand and should be fairly simple to decouple to suit your needs I think.

try {

    // Find out how many items are in the table
    $total = $dbh->query('
        SELECT
            COUNT(*)
        FROM
            table
    ')->fetchColumn();

    // How many items to list per page
    $limit = 20;

    // How many pages will there be
    $pages = ceil($total / $limit);

    // What page are we currently on?
    $page = min($pages, filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'page', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array(
        'options' => array(
            'default'   => 1,
            'min_range' => 1,
        ),
    )));

    // Calculate the offset for the query
    $offset = ($page - 1)  * $limit;

    // Some information to display to the user
    $start = $offset + 1;
    $end = min(($offset + $limit), $total);

    // The "back" link
    $prevlink = ($page > 1) ? '<a href="?page=1" title="First page">&laquo;</a> <a href="?page=' . ($page - 1) . '" title="Previous page">&lsaquo;</a>' : '<span class="disabled">&laquo;</span> <span class="disabled">&lsaquo;</span>';

        // Define how we want to fetch the results
        $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        $iterator = new IteratorIterator($stmt);

    }

} catch (Exception $e) {

Why does git status show branch is up-to-date when changes exist upstream?

I have faced a similar problem, I searched everywhere online for solutions and I tried to follow them. None worked for me. These were the steps I took to the problem.

Make new repo and push the existing code again to the new repo

git init doesn’t initialize if you already have a .git/ folder in your repository. So, for your case, do -

(1) rm -rf .git/

(2) git init

(3) git remote add origin https://repository.remote.url

(4) git commit -m “Commit message”

(5) git push -f origin master

Note that all git configs like remote repositories for this repository are cleared in step 1. So, you have to set up all remote repository URLs again.

Also, take care of the -f in step 5: The remote already has some code base with n commits, and you’re trying to make all those changes into a single commit. So, force-pushing the changes to remote is necessary.

Reversing a linked list in Java, recursively

This is how we would do this in Opal - a pure functional programming language. And, IMHO - doing this recursively only makes sense in that context.

List Reverse(List l)
{
    if (IsEmpty(l) || Size(l) == 1) return l;
    return reverse(rest(l))::first(l);
}

rest(l) returns a list that is the original list without it's first node. first(l) returns the first element. :: is a concatenation operator.

set gvim font in .vimrc file

I use the following (Uses Consolas size 11 on Windows, Menlo Regular size 14 on Mac OS X and Inconsolata size 12 everywhere else):

if has("gui_running")
  if has("gui_gtk2")
    set guifont=Inconsolata\ 12
  elseif has("gui_macvim")
    set guifont=Menlo\ Regular:h14
  elseif has("gui_win32")
    set guifont=Consolas:h11:cANSI
  endif
endif

Edit: And while you're at it, you could take a look at Coding Horror's Programming Fonts blog post.

Edit²: Added MacVim.

Difference between [routerLink] and routerLink

You'll see this in all the directives:

When you use brackets, it means you're passing a bindable property (a variable).

  <a [routerLink]="routerLinkVariable"></a>

So this variable (routerLinkVariable) could be defined inside your class and it should have a value like below:

export class myComponent {

    public routerLinkVariable = "/home"; // the value of the variable is string!

But with variables, you have the opportunity to make it dynamic right?

export class myComponent {

    public routerLinkVariable = "/home"; // the value of the variable is string!


    updateRouterLinkVariable(){

        this.routerLinkVariable = '/about';
    }

Where as without brackets you're passing string only and you can't change it, it's hard coded and it'll be like that throughout your app.

<a routerLink="/home"></a>

UPDATE :

The other speciality about using brackets specifically for routerLink is that you can pass dynamic parameters to the link you're navigating to:

So adding a new variable

export class myComponent {
        private dynamicParameter = '129';
        public routerLinkVariable = "/home"; 

Updating the [routerLink]

  <a [routerLink]="[routerLinkVariable,dynamicParameter]"></a>

When you want to click on this link, it would become:

  <a href="/home/129"></a>

add commas to a number in jQuery

Timothy Pirez answer was very correct but if you need to replace the numbers with commas Immediately as user types in textfield, u might want to use the Keyup function.

      $('#textfield').live('keyup', function (event) {
        var value=$('#textfield').val();

      if(event.which >= 37 && event.which <= 40){
          event.preventDefault();
      }
      var newvalue=value.replace(/,/g, '');   
      var valuewithcomma=Number(newvalue).toLocaleString('en');   
      $('#textfield').val(valuewithcomma); 

      });

    <form><input type="text" id="textfield" ></form>

How to add an onchange event to a select box via javascript?

If you are using prototype.js then you can do this:

transport_select.observe('change', function(){
  toggleSelect(transport_select_id)
})

This eliminate (as hope) the problem in cross-browsers

Convert True/False value read from file to boolean

Currently, it is evaluating to True because the variable has a value. There is a good example found here of what happens when you evaluate arbitrary types as a boolean.

In short, what you want to do is isolate the 'True' or 'False' string and run eval on it.

>>> eval('True')
True
>>> eval('False')
False

How to Compare two strings using a if in a stored procedure in sql server 2008?

Two things:

  1. Only need one (1) equals sign to evaluate
  2. You need to specify a length on the VARCHAR - the default is a single character.

Use:

DECLARE @temp VARCHAR(10)
    SET @temp = 'm'

IF @temp = 'm'
  SELECT 'yes'
ELSE
  SELECT 'no'

VARCHAR(10) means the VARCHAR will accommodate up to 10 characters. More examples of the behavior -

DECLARE @temp VARCHAR
    SET @temp = 'm'

IF @temp = 'm'
  SELECT 'yes'
ELSE
  SELECT 'no'

...will return "yes"

DECLARE @temp VARCHAR
    SET @temp = 'mtest'

IF @temp = 'm'
  SELECT 'yes'
ELSE
  SELECT 'no'

...will return "no".

Draw text in OpenGL ES

The Android SDK doesn't come with any easy way to draw text on OpenGL views. Leaving you with the following options.

  1. Place a TextView over your SurfaceView. This is slow and bad, but the most direct approach.
  2. Render common strings to textures, and simply draw those textures. This is by far the simplest and fastest, but the least flexible.
  3. Roll-your-own text rendering code based on a sprite. Probably second best choice if 2 isn't an option. A good way to get your feet wet but note that while it seems simple (and basic features are), it get's harder and more challenging as you add more features (texture-alignment, dealing with line-breaks, variable-width fonts etc.) - if you take this route, make it as simple as you can get away with!
  4. Use an off-the-shelf/open-source library. There are a few around if you hunt on Google, the tricky bit is getting them integrated and running. But at least, once you do that, you'll have all the flexibility and maturity they provide.

aspx page to redirect to a new page

Darin's answer works great. It creates a 302 redirect. Here's the code modified so that it creates a permanent 301 redirect:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
  protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
  {
      Response.RedirectPermanent("new.aspx");
      base.OnLoad(e);
  }
</script>

Using SSH keys inside docker container

As eczajk already commented in Daniel van Flymen's answer it does not seem to be safe to remove the keys and use --squash, as they still will be visible in the history (docker history --no-trunc).

Instead with Docker 18.09, you can now use the "build secrets" feature. In my case I cloned a private git repo using my hosts SSH key with the following in my Dockerfile:

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:experimental

[...]

RUN --mount=type=ssh git clone [...]

[...]

To be able to use this, you need to enable the new BuildKit backend prior to running docker build:

export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

And you need to add the --ssh default parameter to docker build.

More info about this here: https://medium.com/@tonistiigi/build-secrets-and-ssh-forwarding-in-docker-18-09-ae8161d066

Karma: Running a single test file from command line

First you need to start karma server with

karma start

Then, you can use grep to filter a specific test or describe block:

karma run -- --grep=testDescriptionFilter

Is it possible to add an HTML link in the body of a MAILTO link

Add the full link, with:

 "http://"

to the beginning of a line, and most decent email clients will auto-link it either before sending, or at the other end when receiving.

For really long urls that will likely wrap due to all the parameters, wrap the link in a less than/greater than symbol. This tells the email client not to wrap the url.

e.g.

  <http://www.example.com/foo.php?this=a&really=long&url=with&lots=and&lots=and&lots=of&prameters=on_it>

I want to get the type of a variable at runtime

So, strictly speaking, the "type of a variable" is always present, and can be passed around as a type parameter. For example:

val x = 5
def f[T](v: T) = v
f(x) // T is Int, the type of x

But depending on what you want to do, that won't help you. For instance, may want not to know what is the type of the variable, but to know if the type of the value is some specific type, such as this:

val x: Any = 5
def f[T](v: T) = v match {
  case _: Int    => "Int"
  case _: String => "String"
  case _         => "Unknown"
}
f(x)

Here it doesn't matter what is the type of the variable, Any. What matters, what is checked is the type of 5, the value. In fact, T is useless -- you might as well have written it def f(v: Any) instead. Also, this uses either ClassTag or a value's Class, which are explained below, and cannot check the type parameters of a type: you can check whether something is a List[_] (List of something), but not whether it is, for example, a List[Int] or List[String].

Another possibility is that you want to reify the type of the variable. That is, you want to convert the type into a value, so you can store it, pass it around, etc. This involves reflection, and you'll be using either ClassTag or a TypeTag. For example:

val x: Any = 5
import scala.reflect.ClassTag
def f[T](v: T)(implicit ev: ClassTag[T]) = ev.toString
f(x) // returns the string "Any"

A ClassTag will also let you use type parameters you received on match. This won't work:

def f[A, B](a: A, b: B) = a match {
  case _: B => "A is a B"
  case _ => "A is not a B"
}

But this will:

val x = 'c'
val y = 5
val z: Any = 5
import scala.reflect.ClassTag
def f[A, B: ClassTag](a: A, b: B) = a match {
  case _: B => "A is a B"
  case _ => "A is not a B"
}
f(x, y) // A (Char) is not a B (Int)
f(x, z) // A (Char) is a B (Any)

Here I'm using the context bounds syntax, B : ClassTag, which works just like the implicit parameter in the previous ClassTag example, but uses an anonymous variable.

One can also get a ClassTag from a value's Class, like this:

val x: Any = 5
val y = 5
import scala.reflect.ClassTag
def f(a: Any, b: Any) = {
  val B = ClassTag(b.getClass)
  ClassTag(a.getClass) match {
    case B => "a is the same class as b"
    case _ => "a is not the same class as b"
  }
}
f(x, y) == f(y, x) // true, a is the same class as b

A ClassTag is limited in that it only covers the base class, but not its type parameters. That is, the ClassTag for List[Int] and List[String] is the same, List. If you need type parameters, then you must use a TypeTag instead. A TypeTag however, cannot be obtained from a value, nor can it be used on a pattern match, due to JVM's erasure.

Examples with TypeTag can get quite complex -- not even comparing two type tags is not exactly simple, as can be seen below:

import scala.reflect.runtime.universe.TypeTag
def f[A, B](a: A, b: B)(implicit evA: TypeTag[A], evB: TypeTag[B]) = evA == evB
type X = Int
val x: X = 5
val y = 5
f(x, y) // false, X is not the same type as Int

Of course, there are ways to make that comparison return true, but it would require a few book chapters to really cover TypeTag, so I'll stop here.

Finally, maybe you don't care about the type of the variable at all. Maybe you just want to know what is the class of a value, in which case the answer is rather simple:

val x = 5
x.getClass // int -- technically, an Int cannot be a class, but Scala fakes it

It would be better, however, to be more specific about what you want to accomplish, so that the answer can be more to the point.

Indexes of all occurrences of character in a string

Try the following (Which does not print -1 at the end now!)

int index = word.indexOf(guess);
while(index >= 0) {
   System.out.println(index);
   index = word.indexOf(guess, index+1);
}

How to obtain the total numbers of rows from a CSV file in Python?

You need to count the number of rows:

row_count = sum(1 for row in fileObject)  # fileObject is your csv.reader

Using sum() with a generator expression makes for an efficient counter, avoiding storing the whole file in memory.

If you already read 2 rows to start with, then you need to add those 2 rows to your total; rows that have already been read are not being counted.

GCD to perform task in main thread

No you don't need to check if you're in the main thread. Here is how you can do this in Swift:

runThisInMainThread { () -> Void in
    runThisInMainThread { () -> Void in
        // No problem
    }
}

func runThisInMainThread(block: dispatch_block_t) {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), block)
}

Its included as a standard function in my repo, check it out: https://github.com/goktugyil/EZSwiftExtensions

Short IF - ELSE statement

I'm a little late to the party but for future readers.

From what i can tell, you're just wanting to toggle the visibility state right? Why not just use the ! operator?

jxPanel6.setVisible(!jxPanel6.isVisible);

It's not an if statement but I prefer this method for code related to your example.

What is the difference between an annotated and unannotated tag?

Push annotated tags, keep lightweight local

man git-tag says:

Annotated tags are meant for release while lightweight tags are meant for private or temporary object labels.

And certain behaviors do differentiate between them in ways that this recommendation is useful e.g.:

  • annotated tags can contain a message, creator, and date different than the commit they point to. So you could use them to describe a release without making a release commit.

    Lightweight tags don't have that extra information, and don't need it, since you are only going to use it yourself to develop.

  • git push --follow-tags will only push annotated tags
  • git describe without command line options only sees annotated tags

Internals differences

  • both lightweight and annotated tags are a file under .git/refs/tags that contains a SHA-1

  • for lightweight tags, the SHA-1 points directly to a commit:

    git tag light
    cat .git/refs/tags/light
    

    prints the same as the HEAD's SHA-1.

    So no wonder they cannot contain any other metadata.

  • annotated tags point to a tag object in the object database.

    git tag -as -m msg annot
    cat .git/refs/tags/annot
    

    contains the SHA of the annotated tag object:

    c1d7720e99f9dd1d1c8aee625fd6ce09b3a81fef
    

    and then we can get its content with:

    git cat-file -p c1d7720e99f9dd1d1c8aee625fd6ce09b3a81fef
    

    sample output:

    object 4284c41353e51a07e4ed4192ad2e9eaada9c059f
    type commit
    tag annot
    tagger Ciro Santilli <[email protected]> 1411478848 +0200
    
    msg
    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
    Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)
    
    <YOUR PGP SIGNATURE>
    -----END PGP SIGNAT
    

    And this is how it contains extra metadata. As we can see from the output, the metadata fields are:

    A more detailed analysis of the format is present at: What is the format of a git tag object and how to calculate its SHA?

Bonuses

  • Determine if a tag is annotated:

    git cat-file -t tag
    

    Outputs

    • commit for lightweight, since there is no tag object, it points directly to the commit
    • tag for annotated, since there is a tag object in that case
  • List only lightweight tags: How can I list all lightweight tags?

How to remove MySQL completely with config and library files?

Just a little addition to the answer of @dAm2k :

In addition to sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql\*

I've done a sudo apt-get remove --purge mariadb\*.

I seems that in the new release of debian (stretch), when you install mysql it install mariadb package with it.

Hope it helps.

Difference between a Structure and a Union

structure is collection of different data type where different type of data can reside in it and every one get its own block of memory

we usually used union when we sure that only one of the variable will be used at once and you want fully utilization of present memory because it get only one block of memory which is equal to the biggest type.

struct emp
{
    char x;//1 byte
    float y; //4 byte
} e;

total memory it get =>5 byte

union emp
{
    char x;//1 byte
    float y; //4 byte
} e;

total memory it get =4 byte

Rotate camera in Three.js with mouse

This might serve as a good starting point for moving/rotating/zooming a camera with mouse/trackpad (in typescript):

class CameraControl {
    zoomMode: boolean = false
    press: boolean = false
    sensitivity: number = 0.02

    constructor(renderer: Three.Renderer, public camera: Three.PerspectiveCamera, updateCallback:() => void){
        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mousemove', event => {
            if(!this.press){ return }

            if(event.button == 0){
                camera.position.y -= event.movementY * this.sensitivity
                camera.position.x -= event.movementX * this.sensitivity        
            } else if(event.button == 2){
                camera.quaternion.y -= event.movementX * this.sensitivity/10
                camera.quaternion.x -= event.movementY * this.sensitivity/10
            }

            updateCallback()
        })    

        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mousedown', () => { this.press = true })
        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mouseup', () => { this.press = false })
        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => { this.press = false })

        document.addEventListener('keydown', event => {
            if(event.key == 'Shift'){
                this.zoomMode = true
            }
        })

        document.addEventListener('keyup', event => {
            if(event.key == 'Shift'){
                this.zoomMode = false
            }
        })

        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mousewheel', event => {
            if(this.zoomMode){ 
                camera.fov += event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity
                camera.updateProjectionMatrix()
            } else {
                camera.position.z += event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity
            }

            updateCallback()
        })
    }
}

drop it in like:

this.cameraControl = new CameraControl(renderer, camera, () => {
    // you might want to rerender on camera update if you are not rerendering all the time
    window.requestAnimationFrame(() => renderer.render(scene, camera))
})

Controls:

  • move while [holding mouse left / single finger on trackpad] to move camera in x/y plane
  • move [mouse wheel / two fingers on trackpad] to move up/down in z-direction
  • hold shift + [mouse wheel / two fingers on trackpad] to zoom in/out via increasing/decreasing field-of-view
  • move while holding [mouse right / two fingers on trackpad] to rotate the camera (quaternion)

Additionally:

If you want to kinda zoom by changing the 'distance' (along yz) instead of changing field-of-view you can bump up/down camera's position y and z while keeping the ratio of position's y and z unchanged like:

// in mousewheel event listener in zoom mode
const ratio = camera.position.y / camera.position.z
camera.position.y += (event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity * ratio)
camera.position.z += (event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity)

How do you convert a time.struct_time object into a datetime object?

Use time.mktime() to convert the time tuple (in localtime) into seconds since the Epoch, then use datetime.fromtimestamp() to get the datetime object.

from datetime import datetime
from time import mktime

dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(mktime(struct))

DB2 SQL error sqlcode=-104 sqlstate=42601

You miss the from clause

SELECT *  from TCCAWZTXD.TCC_COIL_DEMODATA WHERE CURRENT_INSERTTIME  BETWEEN(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)-5 minutes AND CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

Find the most frequent number in a NumPy array

You may use

values, counts = np.unique(a, return_counts=True)

ind = np.argmax(counts)
print(values[ind])  # prints the most frequent element

ind = np.argpartition(-counts, kth=10)[:10]
print(values[ind])  # prints the 10 most frequent elements

If some element is as frequent as another one, this code will return only the first element.

Mocking static methods with Mockito

Observation : When you call static method within a static entity, you need to change the class in @PrepareForTest.

For e.g. :

securityAlgo = MessageDigest.getInstance(SECURITY_ALGORITHM);

For the above code if you need to mock MessageDigest class, use

@PrepareForTest(MessageDigest.class)

While if you have something like below :

public class CustomObjectRule {

    object = DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(MessageDigest.getInstance(SECURITY_ALGORITHM)
             .digest(message.getBytes(ENCODING)));

}

then, you'd need to prepare the class this code resides in.

@PrepareForTest(CustomObjectRule.class)

And then mock the method :

PowerMockito.mockStatic(MessageDigest.class);
PowerMockito.when(MessageDigest.getInstance(Mockito.anyString()))
      .thenThrow(new RuntimeException());

UNION with WHERE clause

i think it will depend on many things - run EXPLAIN PLAN on each one to see what your optimizer selects. Otherwise - as @rayman suggests - run them both and time them.

Using group by and having clause

1.Get supplier numbers and names for suppliers of parts supplied to at least two different projects.

 SELECT S.SID, S.NAME
 FROM SUPPLIES SP
 JOIN SUPPLIER S
 ON SP.SID = S.SID
 WHERE PID IN

I am not slear about your second question

Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object, when I select a dropdown list

From http://codecorner.galanter.net/2012/06/04/solution-for-operation-is-not-valid-due-to-the-current-state-of-the-object-error/

Issue happens because Microsoft Security Update MS11-100 limits number of keys in Forms collection during HTTP POST request. To alleviate this problem you need to increase that number.

This can be done in your application Web.Config in the <appSettings> section (create the section directly under <configuration> if it doesn’t exist). Add 2 lines similar to the lines below to the section:

<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="2000" />
<add key="aspnet:MaxJsonDeserializerMembers" value="2000" />

The above example set the limit to 2000 keys. This will lift the limitation and the error should go away.

Missing Maven dependencies in Eclipse project

My issue sounds similar so I'll add to the discussion. I had cancelled the import of an existing maven project into Eclipse which resulted in it not being allowed to Update and wouldn't properly finish the Work Space building.

What I had to do to resolve it was select Run As... -> Maven build... and under Goals I entered dependency:go-offline and ran that.

Then I right clicked the project and selected Maven -> Update Project... and updated that specific project.

This finally allowed it to create the source folders and finish the import.

Using BufferedReader.readLine() in a while loop properly

Concept Solution:br.read() returns particular character's int value so loop continue's until we won't get -1 as int value and Hence up to there it prints br.readLine() which returns a line into String form.

    //Way 1:
    while(br.read()!=-1)
    {
      //continues loop until we won't get int value as a -1
      System.out.println(br.readLine());
    }

    //Way 2:
    while((line=br.readLine())!=null)
    {
      System.out.println(line);
    }

    //Way 3:
    for(String line=br.readLine();line!=null;line=br.readLine())
    {
      System.out.println(line);
    }

Google Maps API v2: How to make markers clickable?

setTag(position) while adding marker to map.

Marker marker =  map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                .position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)));
marker.setTag(position);

getTag() on setOnMarkerClickListener listener

map.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
                    int position = (int)(marker.getTag());
                   //Using position get Value from arraylist 
                    return false;
                }
            });

Get the IP Address of local computer

In DEV C++, I used pure C with WIN32, with this given piece of code:

case IDC_IP:

             gethostname(szHostName, 255);
             host_entry=gethostbyname(szHostName);
             szLocalIP = inet_ntoa (*(struct in_addr *)*host_entry->h_addr_list);
             //WSACleanup(); 
             writeInTextBox("\n");
             writeInTextBox("IP: "); 
             writeInTextBox(szLocalIP);
             break;

When I click the button 'show ip', it works. But on the second time, the program quits (without warning or error). When I do:

//WSACleanup(); 

The program does not quit, even clicking the same button multiple times with fastest speed. So WSACleanup() may not work well with Dev-C++..

Change the color of a checked menu item in a navigation drawer

Here is the another way to achive this:

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
            item.setEnabled(true);
            item.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ff3824'>Settings</font>"));
            return false;
            }
        });


    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement

INSERT INTO ... SELECT FROM ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

Although I am very late to this but after seeing some legitimate questions for those who wanted to use INSERT-SELECT query with GROUP BY clause, I came up with the work around for this.

Taking further the answer of Marcus Adams and accounting GROUP BY in it, this is how I would solve the problem by using Subqueries in the FROM Clause

INSERT INTO lee(exp_id, created_by, location, animal, starttime, endtime, entct, 
                inact, inadur, inadist, 
                smlct, smldur, smldist, 
                larct, lardur, lardist, 
                emptyct, emptydur)
SELECT sb.id, uid, sb.location, sb.animal, sb.starttime, sb.endtime, sb.entct, 
       sb.inact, sb.inadur, sb.inadist, 
       sb.smlct, sb.smldur, sb.smldist, 
       sb.larct, sb.lardur, sb.lardist, 
       sb.emptyct, sb.emptydur
FROM

Get list of databases from SQL Server

If you want to omit system databases and ReportServer tables (if installed)

select DATABASE_NAME = db_name(s_mf.database_id)
from sys.master_files s_mf
where
    s_mf.state = 0 -- ONLINE
    and has_dbaccess(db_name(s_mf.database_id)) = 1
    and db_name(s_mf.database_id) NOT IN ('master', 'tempdb', 'model', 'msdb')
    and db_name(s_mf.database_id) not like 'ReportServer%'
group by s_mf.database_id
order by 1;

This works on SQL Server 2008/2012/2014. Most of query comes from "sp_databases" system stored procedure. I only removed unneeded column and added where conditions.

Pointer to 2D arrays in C

Ok, this is actually four different question. I'll address them one by one:

are both equals for the compiler? (speed, perf...)

Yes. The pointer dereferenciation and decay from type int (*)[100][280] to int (*)[280] is always a noop to your CPU. I wouldn't put it past a bad compiler to generate bogus code anyways, but a good optimizing compiler should compile both examples to the exact same code.

is one of these solutions eating more memory than the other?

As a corollary to my first answer, no.

what is the more frequently used by developers?

Definitely the variant without the extra (*pointer) dereferenciation. For C programmers it is second nature to assume that any pointer may actually be a pointer to the first element of an array.

what is the best way, the 1st or the 2nd?

That depends on what you optimize for:

  • Idiomatic code uses variant 1. The declaration is missing the outer dimension, but all uses are exactly as a C programmer expects them to be.

  • If you want to make it explicit that you are pointing to an array, you can use variant 2. However, many seasoned C programmers will think that there's a third dimension hidden behind the innermost *. Having no array dimension there will feel weird to most programmers.

Android: how to draw a border to a LinearLayout

Do you really need to do that programmatically?

Just considering the title: You could use a ShapeDrawable as android:background…

For example, let's define res/drawable/my_custom_background.xml as:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="rectangle">
  <corners
      android:radius="2dp"
      android:topRightRadius="0dp"
      android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
      android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp" />
  <stroke
      android:width="1dp"
      android:color="@android:color/white" />
</shape>

and define android:background="@drawable/my_custom_background".

I've not tested but it should work.

Update:

I think that's better to leverage the xml shape drawable resource power if that fits your needs. With a "from scratch" project (for android-8), define res/layout/main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/border"
    android:padding="10dip" >
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World, SOnich"
        />
    [... more TextView ...]
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World, SOnich"
        />
</LinearLayout>

and a res/drawable/border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="rectangle">
   <stroke
        android:width="5dip"
        android:color="@android:color/white" />
</shape>

Reported to work on a gingerbread device. Note that you'll need to relate android:padding of the LinearLayout to the android:width shape/stroke's value. Please, do not use @android:color/white in your final application but rather a project defined color.

You could apply android:background="@drawable/border" android:padding="10dip" to each of the LinearLayout from your provided sample.

As for your other posts related to display some circles as LinearLayout's background, I'm playing with Inset/Scale/Layer drawable resources (see Drawable Resources for further information) to get something working to display perfect circles in the background of a LinearLayout but failed at the moment…

Your problem resides clearly in the use of getBorder.set{Width,Height}(100);. Why do you do that in an onClick method?

I need further information to not miss the point: why do you do that programmatically? Do you need a dynamic behavior? Your input drawables are png or ShapeDrawable is acceptable? etc.

To be continued (maybe tomorrow and as soon as you provide more precisions on what you want to achieve)…

Git - deleted some files locally, how do I get them from a remote repository

If you have deleted multiple files locally but not committed, you can force checkout

How can I make a Python script standalone executable to run without ANY dependency?

Using PyInstaller, I found a better method using shortcut to the .exe rather than making --onefile. Anyway, there are probably some data files around and if you're running a site-based app then your program depends on HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files too. There isn't any point in moving all these files somewhere... Instead what if we move the working path up?

Make a shortcut to the EXE file, move it at top and set the target and start-in paths as specified, to have relative paths going to dist\folder:

Target: %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start dist\web_wrapper\web_wrapper.exe
Start in: "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start dist\web_wrapper\"

We can rename the shortcut to anything, so renaming to "GTFS-Manager". Now when I double-click the shortcut, it's as if I python-ran the file! I found this approach better than the --onefile one as:

  1. In onefile's case, there's a problem with a .dll missing for the Windows 7 OS which needs some prior installation, etc. Yawn. With the usual build with multiple files, no such issues.
  2. All the files that my Python script uses (it's deploying a tornado web server and needs a whole freakin' website worth of files to be there!) don't need to be moved anywhere: I simply create the shortcut at top.
  3. I can actually use this exact same folder on Ubuntu (run python3 myfile.py) and Windows (double-click the shortcut).
  4. I don't need to bother with the overly complicated hacking of .spec file to include data files, etc.

Oh, remember to delete off the build folder after building. It will save on size.

Git: Recover deleted (remote) branch

It may seem as being too cautious, but I frequently zip a copy of whatever I've been working on before I make source control changes. In a Gitlab project I'm working on, I recently deleted a remote branch by mistake that I wanted to keep after merging a merge request. It turns out all I had to do to get it back with the commit history was push again. The merge request was still tracked by Gitlab, so it still shows the blue 'merged' label to the right of the branch. I still zipped my local folder in case something bad happened.

How can I convert NSDictionary to NSData and vice versa?

In Swift 2 you can do it in this way:

var dictionary: NSDictionary = ...

/* NSDictionary to NSData */
let data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(dictionary)

/* NSData to NSDictionary */
let unarchivedDictionary = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithData(data!) as! NSDictionary

In Swift 3:

/* NSDictionary to NSData */
let data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: dictionary)

/* NSData to NSDictionary */
let unarchivedDictionary = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: data)

ASP.NET MVC: What is the correct way to redirect to pages/actions in MVC?

1) When the user logs out (Forms signout in Action) I want to redirect to a login page.

public ActionResult Logout() {
    //log out the user
    return RedirectToAction("Login");
}

2) In a Controller or base Controller event eg Initialze, I want to redirect to another page (AbsoluteRootUrl + Controller + Action)

Why would you want to redirect from a controller init?

the routing engine automatically handles requests that come in, if you mean you want to redirect from the index action on a controller simply do:

public ActionResult Index() {
    return RedirectToAction("whateverAction", "whateverController");
}

If it spits out an old version, you may need to augment your PATH with the folder containing the version you just installed.

Ok, we’re ready. After doing a cd into the folder containing your git checkout, create an orphan branch. For this example, I’ll name the branch “mybranch”.

git checkout --orphan mybranch

Delete everything in the orphan branch

git rm -rf .

Make some changes

vi README.txt

Add and commit the changes

git add README.txt
git commit -m "Adding readme file"

That’s it. If you run

git log

you’ll notice that the commit history starts from scratch. To switch back to your master branch, just run

git checkout master

You can return to the orphan branch by running

git checkout mybranch

HTML: Select multiple as dropdown

It's quite unpractical to make multiple select with size 1. think about it. I made a fiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/wqd0yd5m/2/

<select name="test" multiple>
    <option>123</option>
    <option>456</option>
    <option>789</option>
</select>

Try to explore other options such as using checkboxes to achieve your goal.

CSS transition between left -> right and top -> bottom positions

This worked for me on Chromium. The % for translate is in reference to the size of the bounding box of the element it is applied to so it perfectly gets the element to the lower right edge while not having to switch which property is used to specify it's location.

topleft {
  top: 0%;
  left: 0%;
}
bottomright {
  top: 100%;
  left: 100%;
  -webkit-transform: translate(-100%,-100%);
}

Parse a URI String into Name-Value Collection

Netty also provides a nice query string parser called QueryStringDecoder. In one line of code, it can parse the URL in the question. I like because it doesn't require catching or throwing java.net.MalformedURLException.

In one line:

Map<String, List<String>> parameters = new QueryStringDecoder(url).parameters();

See javadocs here: https://netty.io/4.1/api/io/netty/handler/codec/http/QueryStringDecoder.html

Here is a short, self contained, correct example:

import io.netty.handler.codec.http.QueryStringDecoder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class UrlParse {

  public static void main(String... args) {
    String url = "https://google.com.ua/oauth/authorize?client_id=SS&response_type=code&scope=N_FULL&access_type=offline&redirect_uri=http://localhost/Callback";
    QueryStringDecoder decoder = new QueryStringDecoder(url);
    Map<String, List<String>> parameters = decoder.parameters();
    print(parameters);
  }

  private static void print(final Map<String, List<String>> parameters) {
    System.out.println("NAME               VALUE");
    System.out.println("------------------------");
    parameters.forEach((key, values) ->
        values.forEach(val ->
            System.out.println(StringUtils.rightPad(key, 19) + val)));
  }
}

which generates

NAME               VALUE
------------------------
client_id          SS
response_type      code
scope              N_FULL
access_type        offline
redirect_uri       http://localhost/Callback

List of IP addresses/hostnames from local network in Python

One of the answers in this question might help you. There seems to be a platform agnostic version for python, but I haven't tried it yet.

Difference between matches() and find() in Java Regex

matches(); does not buffer, but find() buffers. find() searches to the end of the string first, indexes the result, and return the boolean value and corresponding index.

That is why when you have a code like

1:Pattern.compile("[a-z]");

2:Pattern.matcher("0a1b1c3d4");

3:int count = 0;

4:while(matcher.find()){

5:count++: }

At 4: The regex engine using the pattern structure will read through the whole of your code (index to index as specified by the regex[single character] to find at least one match. If such match is found, it will be indexed then the loop will execute based on the indexed result else if it didn't do ahead calculation like which matches(); does not. The while statement would never execute since the first character of the matched string is not an alphabet.

What is the difference between SessionState and ViewState?

Usage: If you're going to store information that you want to access on different web pages, you can use SessionState

If you want to store information that you want to access from the same page, then you can use Viewstate

Storage The Viewstate is stored within the page itself (in encrypted text), while the Sessionstate is stored in the server.

The SessionState will clear in the following conditions

  1. Cleared by programmer
  2. Cleared by user
  3. Timeout

How to convert Nvarchar column to INT

Your CAST() looks correct.

Your CONVERT() is not correct. You are quoting the column as a string. You will want something like

CONVERT(INT, A.my_NvarcharColumn)

** notice without the quotes **

The only other reason why this could fail is if you have a non-numeric character in the field value or if it's out of range.

You can try something like the following to verify it's numeric and return a NULL if it's not:

SELECT
 CASE
  WHEN ISNUMERIC(A.my_NvarcharColumn) = 1 THEN CONVERT(INT, A.my_NvarcharColumn)
  ELSE NULL
 END AS my_NvarcharColumn

why $(window).load() is not working in jQuery?

jquery remove "selected" attribute of option?

It's something in the way jQuery translates to IE8, not necessarily the browser itself.

I was able to work around by going old school and breaking out of jQuery for one line:

document.getElementById('myselect').selectedIndex = -1;

Python: How to create a unique file name?

I came across this question, and I will add my solution for those who may be looking for something similar. My approach was just to make a random file name from ascii characters. It will be unique with a good probability.

from random import sample
from string import digits, ascii_uppercase, ascii_lowercase
from tempfile import gettempdir
from os import path

def rand_fname(suffix, length=8):
    chars = ascii_lowercase + ascii_uppercase + digits

    fname = path.join(gettempdir(), 'tmp-'
                + ''.join(sample(chars, length)) + suffix)

    return fname if not path.exists(fname) \
                else rand_fname(suffix, length)

Disable and later enable all table indexes in Oracle

If you are using non-parallel direct path loads then consider and benchmark not dropping the indexes at all, particularly if the indexes only cover a minority of the columns. Oracle has a mechanism for efficient maintenance of indexes on direct path loads.

Otherwise, I'd also advise making the indexes unusable instead of dropping them. Less chance of accidentally not recreating an index.

ImageView - have height match width?

For people passing by now, in 2017, the new best way to achieve what you want is by using ConstraintLayout like this:

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:scaleType="centerCrop"
    app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1" />

And don't forget to add constraints to all of the four directions as needed by your layout.

Build a Responsive UI with ConstraintLayout

Furthermore, by now, PercentRelativeLayout has been deprecated (see Android documentation).

mvn command not found in OSX Mavrerick

steps to install maven :

  1. download the maven file from http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
  2. $tar xvf apache-maven-3.5.4-bin.tar.gz
  3. copy the apache folder to desired place $cp -R apache-maven-3.5.4 /Users/locals
  4. go to apache directory $cd /Users/locals/apache-maven-3.5.4/
  5. create .bash_profile $vim ~/.bash_profile
  6. write these two command : export M2_HOME=/Users/manisha/apache-maven-3.5.4 export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin 7 save and quit the vim :wq!
  7. restart the terminal and type mvn -version

Passing a method parameter using Task.Factory.StartNew

The best option is probably to use a lambda expression that closes over the variables you want to display.

However, be careful in this case, especially if you're calling this in a loop. (I mention this since your variable is an "ID", and this is common in this situation.) If you close over the variable in the wrong scope, you can get a bug. For details, see Eric Lippert's post on the subject. This typically requires making a temporary:

foreach(int id in myIdsToCheck)
{
    int tempId = id; // Make a temporary here!
    Task.Factory.StartNew( () => CheckFiles(tempId, theBlockingCollection),
         cancelCheckFile.Token, 
         TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning, 
         TaskScheduler.Default);
}

Also, if your code is like the above, you should be careful with using the LongRunning hint - with the default scheduler, this causes each task to get its own dedicated thread instead of using the ThreadPool. If you're creating many tasks, this is likely to have a negative impact as you won't get the advantages of the ThreadPool. It's typically geared for a single, long running task (hence its name), not something that would be implemented to work on an item of a collection, etc.

datatable jquery - table header width not aligned with body width

See this solution. It can be solved with a window scroll event firing one time only.

Disable EditText blinking cursor

In my case, I wanted to enable/disable the cursor when the edit is focused.

In your Activity:

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        View v = getCurrentFocus();
        if (v instanceof EditText) {
            EditText edit = ((EditText) v);
            Rect outR = new Rect();
            edit.getGlobalVisibleRect(outR);
            Boolean isKeyboardOpen = !outR.contains((int)ev.getRawX(), (int)ev.getRawY());
            System.out.print("Is Keyboard? " + isKeyboardOpen);
            if (isKeyboardOpen) {
                System.out.print("Entro al IF");
                edit.clearFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edit.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }

            edit.setCursorVisible(!isKeyboardOpen);

        }
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}

How can I make my website's background transparent without making the content (images & text) transparent too?

There is a css3 solution here if that is acceptable. It supports the graceful degradation approach where css3 isn't supported. you just won't have any transparency.

body {
    font-family: tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    text-align: center;
    background: #000;
    color: #ddd4d4;
    padding-top: 12px;
    line-height: 2;
    background-image: url('images/background.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-size: 100%;
    background: rgb(0, 0, 0); /* for older browsers */
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); /* R, G, B, A */
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#CC000000, endColorstr=#CC0000); /* AA, RR, GG, BB */

}

to get the hex equivalent of 80% (CC) take (pct / 100) * 255 and convert to hex.

How to restart Jenkins manually?

Difference between TCP and UDP?

Think of TCP as a dedicated scheduled UPS/FedEx pickup/dropoff of packages between two locations, while UDP is the equivalent of throwing a postcard in a mailbox.

UPS/FedEx will do their damndest to make sure that the package you mail off gets there, and get it there on time. With the post card, you're lucky if it arrives at all, and it may arrive out of order or late (how many times have you gotten a postcard from someone AFTER they've gotten home from the vacation?)

TCP is as close to a guaranteed delivery protocol as you can get, while UDP is just "best effort".
