Get Absolute URL from Relative path (refactored method)

This one works for me...

new System.Uri(Page.Request.Url, ResolveClientUrl("~/mypage.aspx")).AbsoluteUri

JQuery - $ is not defined

Use a scripts section in the view and master layout.

Put all your scripts defined in your view inside a Scripts section of the view. This way you can have the master layout load this after all other scripts have been loaded. This is the default setup when starting a new MVC5 web project. Not sure about earlier versions.

Views/Foo/MyView.cshtml:

// The rest of your view code above here.

@section Scripts 
{ 
    // Either render the bundle defined with same name in BundleConfig.cs...
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/myCustomBundle")

    // ...or hard code the HTML.
    <script src="URL-TO-CUSTOM-JS-FILE"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function () {

        // Do your custom javascript for this view here. Will be run after 
        // loading all the other scripts.            
      });
    </script>
}

Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml

<html>
<body>
    <!-- ... Rest of your layout file here ... -->

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>

Note how the scripts section is rendered last in the master layout file.

C - reading command line parameters

There's also a C standard built-in library to get command line arguments: getopt

How should strace be used?

Strace stands out as a tool for investigating production systems where you can't afford to run these programs under a debugger. In particular, we have used strace in the following two situations:

Program foo seems to be in deadlock and has become unresponsive. This could be a target for gdb; however, we haven't always had the source code or sometimes were dealing with scripted languages that weren't straight-forward to run under a debugger. In this case, you run strace on an already running program and you will get the list of system calls being made. This is particularly useful if you are investigating a client/server application or an application that interacts with a database
Investigating why a program is slow. In particular, we had just moved to a new distributed file system and the new throughput of the system was very slow. You can specify strace with the '-T' option which will tell you how much time was spent in each system call. This helped to determine why the file system was causing things to slow down.

For an example of analyzing using strace see my answer to this question.

How to "git show" a merge commit with combined diff output even when every changed file agrees with one of the parents?

If your merge commit is commit 0e1329e5, as above, you can get the diff that was contained in this merge by:

git diff 0e1329e5^..0e1329e5

I hope this helps!

Log record changes in SQL server in an audit table

Hey It's very simple see this

@OLD_GUEST_NAME = d.GUEST_NAME from deleted d;

this variable will store your old deleted value and then you can insert it where you want.

for example-

Create trigger testupdate on test for update, delete
  as
declare @tableid varchar(50);
declare @testid varchar(50);
declare @newdata varchar(50);
declare @olddata varchar(50);


select @tableid = count(*)+1 from audit_test
select @testid=d.tableid from inserted d;
select @olddata = d.data from deleted d;
select @newdata = i.data from inserted i;

insert into audit_test (tableid, testid, olddata, newdata) values (@tableid, @testid, @olddata, @newdata)

Python : List of dict, if exists increment a dict value, if not append a new dict

To do it exactly your way? You could use the for...else structure

for url in list_of_urls:
    for url_dict in urls:
        if url_dict['url'] == url:
            url_dict['nbr'] += 1
            break
    else:
        urls.append(dict(url=url, nbr=1))

But it is quite inelegant. Do you really have to store the visited urls as a LIST? If you sort it as a dict, indexed by url string, for example, it would be way cleaner:

urls = {'http://www.google.fr/': dict(url='http://www.google.fr/', nbr=1)}

for url in list_of_urls:
    if url in urls:
        urls[url]['nbr'] += 1
    else:
        urls[url] = dict(url=url, nbr=1)

A few things to note in that second example:

see how using a dict for urls removes the need for going through the whole urls list when testing for one single url. This approach will be faster.
Using dict( ) instead of braces makes your code shorter
using list_of_urls, urls and url as variable names make the code quite hard to parse. It's better to find something clearer, such as urls_to_visit, urls_already_visited and current_url. I know, it's longer. But it's clearer.

And of course I'm assuming that dict(url='http://www.google.fr', nbr=1) is a simplification of your own data structure, because otherwise, urls could simply be:

urls = {'http://www.google.fr':1}

for url in list_of_urls:
    if url in urls:
        urls[url] += 1
    else:
        urls[url] = 1

Which can get very elegant with the defaultdict stance:

urls = collections.defaultdict(int)
for url in list_of_urls:
    urls[url] += 1

How do I get the Back Button to work with an AngularJS ui-router state machine?

The Back button wasn't working for me as well, but I figured out that the problem was that I had html content inside my main page, in the ui-view element.

i.e.

<div ui-view>
     <h1> Hey Kids! </h1>
     <!-- More content -->
</div>

So I moved the content into a new .html file, and marked it as a template in the .js file with the routes.

i.e.

   .state("parent.mystuff", {
        url: "/mystuff",
        controller: 'myStuffCtrl',
        templateUrl: "myStuff.html"
    })

How to add an extra row to a pandas dataframe

A different approach that I found ugly compared to the classic dict+append, but that works:

df = df.T

df[0] = ['1/1/2013', 'Smith','test',123]

df = df.T

df
Out[6]: 
       Date   Name Action   ID

javascript createElement(), style problem

yourElement.setAttribute("style", "background-color:red; font-size:2em;");

Or you could write the element as pure HTML and use .innerHTML = [raw html code]... that's very ugly though.

In answer to your first question, first you use var myElement = createElement(...);, then you do document.body.appendChild(myElement);.

How to read AppSettings values from a .json file in ASP.NET Core

I doubt this is good practice but it's working locally. I'll update this if it fails when I publish/deploy (to an IIS web service).

Step 1 - Add this assembly to the top of your class (in my case, controller class):

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;

Step 2 - Add this or something like it:

var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
                .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json").Build();

Step 3 - Call your key's value by doing this (returns string):

config["NameOfYourKey"]

Create comma separated strings C#?

You could override your object's ToString() method:

JavaScript: Parsing a string Boolean value?

I would be inclined to do a one liner with a ternary if.

var bool_value = value == "true" ? true : false

Edit: Even quicker would be to simply avoid using the a logical statement and instead just use the expression itself:

var bool_value = value == 'true';

This works because value == 'true' is evaluated based on whether the value variable is a string of 'true'. If it is, that whole expression becomes true and if not, it becomes false, then that result gets assigned to bool_value after evaluation.

Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x8E\xB6\xF0\x9F...' MySQL

FOR SQLALCHEMY AND PYTHON

The encoding used for Unicode has traditionally been 'utf8'. However, for MySQL versions 5.5.3 on forward, a new MySQL-specific encoding 'utf8mb4' has been introduced, and as of MySQL 8.0 a warning is emitted by the server if plain utf8 is specified within any server-side directives, replaced with utf8mb3. The rationale for this new encoding is due to the fact that MySQL’s legacy utf-8 encoding only supports codepoints up to three bytes instead of four. Therefore, when communicating with a MySQL database that includes codepoints more than three bytes in size, this new charset is preferred, if supported by both the database as well as the client DBAPI, as in:

e = create_engine(
    "mysql+pymysql://scott:tiger@localhost/test?charset=utf8mb4")
All modern DBAPIs should support the utf8mb4 charset.

Creating the checkbox dynamically using JavaScript?

You can create a function:

function changeInputType(oldObj, oTyp, nValue) {
  var newObject = document.createElement('input');
  newObject.type = oTyp;
  if(oldObj.size) newObject.size = oldObj.size;
  if(oldObj.value) newObject.value = nValue;
  if(oldObj.name) newObject.name = oldObj.name;
  if(oldObj.id) newObject.id = oldObj.id;
  if(oldObj.className) newObject.className = oldObj.className;
  oldObj.parentNode.replaceChild(newObject,oldObj);
  return newObject;
}

And you do a call like:

changeInputType(document.getElementById('DATE_RANGE_VALUE'), 'checkbox', 7);

Setting up a cron job in Windows

If you don't want to use Scheduled Tasks you can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux which will allow you to use cron jobs like on Linux.

To make sure cron is actually running you can type service cron status from within the Linux terminal. If it isn't currently running then type service cron start and you should be good to go.

Sound effects in JavaScript / HTML5

HTML5 `Audio` objects

You don't need to bother with <audio> elements. HTML 5 lets you access Audio objects directly:

var snd = new Audio("file.wav"); // buffers automatically when created
snd.play();

There's no support for mixing in current version of the spec.

To play same sound multiple times, create multiple instances of the Audio object. You could also set snd.currentTime=0 on the object after it finishes playing.

Since the JS constructor doesn't support fallback <source> elements, you should use

(new Audio()).canPlayType("audio/ogg; codecs=vorbis")

to test whether the browser supports Ogg Vorbis.

If you're writing a game or a music app (more than just a player), you'll want to use more advanced Web Audio API, which is now supported by most browsers.

How to calculate percentage when old value is ZERO

There is no rate of growth from 0 to any other number. That is to say, there is no percentage of increase from zero to greater than zero and there is no percentage of decrease from zero to less than zero (a negative number). What you have to decide is what to put as an output when this situation happens. Here are two possibilities I am comfortable with:

Any time you have to show a rate of increase from zero, output the infinity symbol (8). That's Alt + 236 on your number pad, in case you're wondering. You could also use negative infinity (-8) for a negative growth rate from zero.
Output a statement such as "[Increase/Decrease] From Zero" or something along those lines.

Unfortunately, if you need the growth rate for further calculations, the above options will not work, but, on the other hand, any number would give your following calculations incorrect data any way so the point is moot. You'd need to update your following calculations to account for this eventuality.

As an aside, the ((New-Old)/Old) function will not work when your new and old values are both zero. You should create an initial check to see if both values are zero and, if they are, output zero percent as the growth rate.

async at console app in C#?

In most project types, your async "up" and "down" will end at an async void event handler or returning a Task to your framework.

However, Console apps do not support this.

You can either just do a Wait on the returned task:

static void Main()
{
  MainAsync().Wait();
  // or, if you want to avoid exceptions being wrapped into AggregateException:
  //  MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}

static async Task MainAsync()
{
  ...
}

or you can use your own context like the one I wrote:

static void Main()
{
  AsyncContext.Run(() => MainAsync());
}

static async Task MainAsync()
{
  ...
}

More information for async Console apps is on my blog.

Adding iOS UITableView HeaderView (not section header)

You can also simply create ONLY a UIView in Interface builder and drag & drop the ImageView and UILabel (to make it look like your desired header) and then use that.

Once your UIView looks like the way you want it too, you can programmatically initialize it from the XIB and add to your UITableView. In other words, you dont have to design the ENTIRE table in IB. Just the headerView (this way the header view can be reused in other tables as well)

For example I have a custom UIView for one of my table headers. The view is managed by a xib file called "CustomHeaderView" and it is loaded into the table header using the following code in my UITableViewController subclass:

-(UIView *) customHeaderView {
    if (!customHeaderView) {
        [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomHeaderView" owner:self options:nil];
    }

    return customHeaderView;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // Set the CustomerHeaderView as the tables header view 
    self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.customHeaderView;
}

Creating dummy variables in pandas for python

You can create dummy variables to handle the categorical data

# Creating dummy variables for categorical datatypes
trainDfDummies = pd.get_dummies(trainDf, columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3', 'Col4'])

This will drop the original columns in trainDf and append the column with dummy variables at the end of the trainDfDummies dataframe.

It automatically creates the column names by appending the values at the end of the original column name.

How do you get the process ID of a program in Unix or Linux using Python?

With psutil:

(can be installed with [sudo] pip install psutil)

import psutil

# Get current process pid
current_process_pid = psutil.Process().pid
print(current_process_pid)  # e.g 12971

# Get pids by program name
program_name = 'chrome'
process_pids = [process.pid for process in psutil.process_iter() if process.name == program_name]
print(process_pids)  # e.g [1059, 2343, ..., ..., 9645]

How do I change the language of moment.js?

FOR METEOR USERS:

moment locales are not installed by default in meteor, you only get the 'en' locale with the default installation.

So you use the code as shown correctly in other answers:

moment.locale('it').format('LLL');

but it will remain in english until you install the locale you need.

There is a nice, clean way of adding individual locales for moment in meteor (supplied by rzymek).

Install the moment package in the usual meteor way with:

meteor add rzymek:moment

Then just add the locales that you need, e.g. for italian:

meteor add rzymek:moment-locale-it

Or if you really want to add all available locales (adds about 30k to your page):

meteor add rzymek:moment-locales

Is False == 0 and True == 1 an implementation detail or is it guaranteed by the language?

Link to the PEP discussing the new bool type in Python 2.3: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0285/.

When converting a bool to an int, the integer value is always 0 or 1, but when converting an int to a bool, the boolean value is True for all integers except 0.

>>> int(False)
0
>>> int(True)
1
>>> bool(5)
True
>>> bool(-5)
True
>>> bool(0)
False

How to write a PHP ternary operator

To be honest, a ternary operator would only make this worse, what i would suggest if making it simpler is what you are aiming at is:

$groups = array(1=>"Player", 2=>"Gamemaster", 3=>"God");
echo($groups[$result->group_id]);

and then a similar one for your vocations

$vocations = array(
  1=>"Sorcerer",
  2=>"Druid",
  3=>"Paladin",
  4=>"Knight",
  ....
);
echo($vocations[$result->vocation]);

With a ternary operator, you would end up with

echo($result->group_id == 1 ? "Player" : ($result->group_id == 2 ? "Gamemaster" : ($result->group_id == 3 ? "God" : "unknown")));

Which as you can tell, only gets more complicated the more you add to it

Oracle query execution time

One can issue the SQL*Plus command SET TIMING ON to get wall-clock times, but one can't take, for example, fetch time out of that trivially.

The AUTOTRACE setting, when used as SET AUTOTRACE TRACEONLY will suppress output, but still perform all of the work to satisfy the query and send the results back to SQL*Plus, which will suppress it.

Lastly, one can trace the SQL*Plus session, and manually calculate the time spent waiting on events which are client waits, such as "SQL*Net message to client", "SQL*Net message from client".

Bundler::GemNotFound: Could not find rake-10.3.2 in any of the sources

Bundler 2

If you need to update from bundler v1 to v2 follow this official guide.

For a fast solution:

In root fo your application run bundle config set path "/bundle" to add a custom path for bundler use, in this case I set /bundle, you can use whatever.

1.2 [Alternative solution] You can use a bundler file (~/.bundle/config) also, to use this I recommend set bundler folders in environment, like a Docker image, for example. Here the official guide.
You don't need to delete your Gemfile.lock, It's a bad practice and this can cause other future problems. Commit Gemfile.lock normaly, sometimes you need to update your bundle with bundle install or install individual gem.

You can see all the configs for bundler version 2 here.

Does a VPN Hide my Location on Android?

Your question can be conveniently divided into several parts:

Does a VPN hide location? Yes, he is capable of this. This is not about GPS determining your location. If you try to change the region via VPN in an application that requires GPS access, nothing will work. However, sites define your region differently. They get an IP address and see what country or region it belongs to. If you can change your IP address, you can change your region. This is exactly what VPNs can do.

How to hide location on Android? There is nothing difficult in figuring out how to set up a VPN on Android, but a couple of nuances still need to be highlighted. Let's start with the fact that not all Android VPNs are created equal. For example, VeePN outperforms many other services in terms of efficiency in circumventing restrictions. It has 2500+ VPN servers and a powerful IP and DNS leak protection system.

You can easily change the location of your Android device by using a VPN. Follow these steps for any device model (Samsung, Sony, Huawei, etc.):

Download and install a trusted VPN.
Install the VPN on your Android device.
Open the application and connect to a server in a different country.
Your Android location will now be successfully changed!

Is it legal? Yes, changing your location on Android is legal. Likewise, you can change VPN settings in Microsoft Edge on your PC, and all this is within the law. VPN allows you to change your IP address, safeguarding your privacy and protecting your actual location from being exposed. However, VPN laws may vary from country to country. There are restrictions in some regions.

Brief summary: Yes, you can change your region on Android and a VPN is a necessary assistant for this. It's simple, safe and legal. Today, VPN is the best way to change the region and unblock sites with regional restrictions.

JS - window.history - Delete a state

You may have moved on by now, but... as far as I know there's no way to delete a history entry (or state).

One option I've been looking into is to handle the history yourself in JavaScript and use the window.history object as a carrier of sorts.

Basically, when the page first loads you create your custom history object (we'll go with an array here, but use whatever makes sense for your situation), then do your initial pushState. I would pass your custom history object as the state object, as it may come in handy if you also need to handle users navigating away from your app and coming back later.

var myHistory = [];

function pageLoad() {
    window.history.pushState(myHistory, "<name>", "<url>");

    //Load page data.
}

Now when you navigate, you add to your own history object (or don't - the history is now in your hands!) and use replaceState to keep the browser out of the loop.

function nav_to_details() {
    myHistory.push("page_im_on_now");
    window.history.replaceState(myHistory, "<name>", "<url>");

    //Load page data.
}

When the user navigates backwards, they'll be hitting your "base" state (your state object will be null) and you can handle the navigation according to your custom history object. Afterward, you do another pushState.

function on_popState() {
    // Note that some browsers fire popState on initial load,
    // so you should check your state object and handle things accordingly.
    // (I did not do that in these examples!)

    if (myHistory.length > 0) {
        var pg = myHistory.pop();
        window.history.pushState(myHistory, "<name>", "<url>");

        //Load page data for "pg".
    } else {
        //No "history" - let them exit or keep them in the app.
    }
}

The user will never be able to navigate forward using their browser buttons because they are always on the newest page.

From the browser's perspective, every time they go "back", they've immediately pushed forward again.

From the user's perspective, they're able to navigate backwards through the pages but not forward (basically simulating the smartphone "page stack" model).

From the developer's perspective, you now have a high level of control over how the user navigates through your application, while still allowing them to use the familiar navigation buttons on their browser. You can add/remove items from anywhere in the history chain as you please. If you use objects in your history array, you can track extra information about the pages as well (like field contents and whatnot).

If you need to handle user-initiated navigation (like the user changing the URL in a hash-based navigation scheme), then you might use a slightly different approach like...

var myHistory = [];

function pageLoad() {
    // When the user first hits your page...
    // Check the state to see what's going on.

    if (window.history.state === null) {
        // If the state is null, this is a NEW navigation,
        //    the user has navigated to your page directly (not using back/forward).

        // First we establish a "back" page to catch backward navigation.
        window.history.replaceState(
            { isBackPage: true },
            "<back>",
            "<back>"
        );

        // Then push an "app" page on top of that - this is where the user will sit.
        // (As browsers vary, it might be safer to put this in a short setTimeout).
        window.history.pushState(
            { isBackPage: false },
            "<name>",
            "<url>"
        );

        // We also need to start our history tracking.
        myHistory.push("<whatever>");

        return;
    }

    // If the state is NOT null, then the user is returning to our app via history navigation.

    // (Load up the page based on the last entry of myHistory here)

    if (window.history.state.isBackPage) {
        // If the user came into our app via the back page,
        //     you can either push them forward one more step or just use pushState as above.

        window.history.go(1);
        // or window.history.pushState({ isBackPage: false }, "<name>", "<url>");
    }

    setTimeout(function() {
        // Add our popstate event listener - doing it here should remove
        //     the issue of dealing with the browser firing it on initial page load.
        window.addEventListener("popstate", on_popstate);
    }, 100);
}

function on_popstate(e) {
    if (e.state === null) {
        // If there's no state at all, then the user must have navigated to a new hash.

        // <Look at what they've done, maybe by reading the hash from the URL>
        // <Change/load the new page and push it onto the myHistory stack>
        // <Alternatively, ignore their navigation attempt by NOT loading anything new or adding to myHistory>

        // Undo what they've done (as far as navigation) by kicking them backwards to the "app" page
        window.history.go(-1);

        // Optionally, you can throw another replaceState in here, e.g. if you want to change the visible URL.
        // This would also prevent them from using the "forward" button to return to the new hash.
        window.history.replaceState(
            { isBackPage: false },
            "<new name>",
            "<new url>"
        );
    } else {
        if (e.state.isBackPage) {
            // If there is state and it's the 'back' page...

            if (myHistory.length > 0) {
                // Pull/load the page from our custom history...
                var pg = myHistory.pop();
                // <load/render/whatever>

                // And push them to our "app" page again
                window.history.pushState(
                    { isBackPage: false },
                    "<name>",
                    "<url>"
                );
            } else {
                // No more history - let them exit or keep them in the app.
            }
        }

        // Implied 'else' here - if there is state and it's NOT the 'back' page
        //     then we can ignore it since we're already on the page we want.
        //     (This is the case when we push the user back with window.history.go(-1) above)
    }
}

How to 'update' or 'overwrite' a python list

What about replace the item if you know the position:

aList[0]=2014

Or if you don't know the position loop in the list, find the item and then replace it

aList = [123, 'xyz', 'zara', 'abc']
    for i,item in enumerate(aList):
      if item==123:
        aList[i]=2014
        break
    
    print aList

Line break in HTML with '\n'

As per your question, it can be done by various ways: - For example you can use:

If you want to insert a new line in text area , you can try this:-


 Line Feed and Carriage return

<textarea>Hello &#10;&#13;Stackoverflow</textarea>

You can also <pre>---</pre> Preformatted text.

<pre>
     This is Line1
     This is Line2
     This is Line3
</pre>

Or,you can use <p>----</p> Paragraph

<p>This is Line1</p>

<p>This is Line2</p>

<p>This is Line3</p>

Note: if you want to use \n you need to install a server like Xampp or Apache to support server side language

How to change default text color using custom theme?

In your Manifest you need to reference the name of the style that has the text color item inside it. Right now you are just referencing an empty style. So in your theme.xml do only this style:

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
</style>

And keep you reference to in the Manifest the same (android:theme="@style/Theme")

EDIT:

theme.xml:

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">12dp</item>
</style>

Manifest:

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/MyTheme">

Notice I combine the text color and size into the same style. Also, I changed the name of the theme to MyTheme and am now referencing that in the Manifest. And I changed to @android:style/TextAppearance for the parent value.

How should I log while using multiprocessing in Python?

All current solutions are too coupled to the logging configuration by using a handler. My solution has the following architecture and features:

You can use any logging configuration you want
Logging is done in a daemon thread
Safe shutdown of the daemon by using a context manager
Communication to the logging thread is done by multiprocessing.Queue
In subprocesses, logging.Logger (and already defined instances) are patched to send all records to the queue
New: format traceback and message before sending to queue to prevent pickling errors

Code with usage example and output can be found at the following Gist: https://gist.github.com/schlamar/7003737

How do I access ViewBag from JS

try: var cc = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.CC)

AngularJS $location not changing the path

Instead of $location.path(...) to change or refresh the page, I used the service $window. In Angular this service is used as interface to the window object, and the window object contains a property location which enables you to handle operations related to the location or URL stuff.

For example, with window.location you can assign a new page, like this:

$window.location.assign('/');

Or refresh it, like this:

$window.location.reload();

It worked for me. It's a little bit different from you expect but works for the given goal.

Output (echo/print) everything from a PHP Array

You can use print_r to get human-readable output. But to display it as text we add "echo '';"

echo ''; print_r($row);

Android Firebase, simply get one child object's data

just fetch specific node data and its working perfect for me

mFirebaseInstance.getReference("yourNodeName").getRef().addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {


        for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
            Log.e(TAG, "======="+postSnapshot.child("email").getValue());
            Log.e(TAG, "======="+postSnapshot.child("name").getValue());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {
        // Failed to read value
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to read app title value.", error.toException());
    }
});

How do you post to the wall on a facebook page (not profile)

You can not post to Facebook walls automatically without creating an application and using the templated feed publisher as Frank pointed out.

The only thing you can do is use the 'share' widgets that they provide, which require user interaction.

How to increase IDE memory limit in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac?

Here is a link to the latest documentation as of today http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/increasing-memory-heap.html

Karma: Running a single test file from command line

Even though --files is no longer supported, you can use an env variable to provide a list of files:

// karma.conf.js
function getSpecs(specList) {
  if (specList) {
    return specList.split(',')
  } else {
    return ['**/*_spec.js'] // whatever your default glob is
  }
}

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    //...
    files: ['app.js'].concat(getSpecs(process.env.KARMA_SPECS))
  });
});

Then in CLI:

$ env KARMA_SPECS="spec1.js,spec2.js" karma start karma.conf.js --single-run

How can I create a dynamically sized array of structs?

This looks like an academic exercise which unfortunately makes it harder since you can't use C++. Basically you have to manage some of the overhead for the allocation and keep track how much memory has been allocated if you need to resize it later. This is where the C++ standard library shines.

For your example, the following code allocates the memory and later resizes it:

// initial size
int count = 100;
words *testWords = (words*) malloc(count * sizeof(words));
// resize the array
count = 76;
testWords = (words*) realloc(testWords, count* sizeof(words));

Keep in mind, in your example you are just allocating a pointer to a char and you still need to allocate the string itself and more importantly to free it at the end. So this code allocates 100 pointers to char and then resizes it to 76, but does not allocate the strings themselves.

I have a suspicion that you actually want to allocate the number of characters in a string which is very similar to the above, but change word to char.

EDIT: Also keep in mind it makes a lot of sense to create functions to perform common tasks and enforce consistency so you don't copy code everywhere. For example, you might have a) allocate the struct, b) assign values to the struct, and c) free the struct. So you might have:

// Allocate a words struct
words* CreateWords(int size);
// Assign a value
void AssignWord(word* dest, char* str);
// Clear a words structs (and possibly internal storage)
void FreeWords(words* w);

EDIT: As far as resizing the structs, it is identical to resizing the char array. However the difference is if you make the struct array bigger, you should probably initialize the new array items to NULL. Likewise, if you make the struct array smaller, you need to cleanup before removing the items -- that is free items that have been allocated (and only the allocated items) before you resize the struct array. This is the primary reason I suggested creating helper functions to help manage this.

// Resize words (must know original and new size if shrinking
// if you need to free internal storage first)
void ResizeWords(words* w, size_t oldsize, size_t newsize);

'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown when there is still plenty of memory free

If you need such large structures, perhaps you could utilize Memory Mapped Files. This article could prove helpful: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/MemoryMappedGenericArray.aspx

How to create an array of object literals in a loop?

var arr = [];
var len = oFullResponse.results.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    arr.push({
        key: oFullResponse.results[i].label,
        sortable: true,
        resizeable: true
    });
}

Using isKindOfClass with Swift

I would use:

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {

    super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
    let touch : UITouch = touches.anyObject() as UITouch

    if let touchView = touch.view as? UIPickerView
    {

    }
}

og:type and valid values : constantly being parsed as og:type=website

I know this is an old one but it comes up top of Google and all the links provided now seem out of date.

This is the latest list of types Facebook accepts: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph

If you don't use one of these then the type will default to 'website' which is best used for home pages/summarising a web site.

In answer to the OP you would now want to use a place which will allow you to add lat/long location details.

Adding <script> to WordPress in <head> element

For anyone else who comes here looking, I'm afraid I'm with @usama sulaiman here.

Using the enqueue function provides a safe way to load style sheets and scripts according to the script dependencies and is WordPress' recommended method of achieving what the original poster was trying to achieve. Just think of all the plugins trying to load their own copy of jQuery for instance; you better hope they're using enqueue :D.

Also, wherever possible create a plugin; as adding custom code to your functions file can be pita if you don't have a back-up and you upgrade your theme and overwrite your functions file in the process.

Having a plugin handle this and other custom functions also means you can switch them off if you think their code is clashing with some other plugin or functionality.

Something along the following in a plugin file is what you are looking for:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Your plugin name
Description: Your description
Version: 1.0
Author: Your name
Author URI: 
Plugin URI: 
*/

function $yourJS() {
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'custom_script',
        plugins_url( '/js/your-script.js', __FILE__ ),
        array( 'jquery' )
    );
}
 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts',  '$yourJS' );
 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'prefix_add_my_stylesheet' );

 function prefix_add_my_stylesheet() {
    wp_register_style( 'prefix-style', plugins_url( '/css/your-stylesheet.css', __FILE__ ) );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'prefix-style' );
  }

?>

Structure your folders as follows:

Plugin Folder
  |_ css folder
  |_ js folder
  |_ plugin.php ...contains the above code - modified of course ;D

Then zip it up and upload it to your WordPress installation using your add plugins interface, activate it and Bob's your uncle.

How can I implement custom Action Bar with custom buttons in Android?

1 You can use a drawable

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/menu_item1"
        android:icon="@drawable/my_item_drawable"
        android:title="@string/menu_item1"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
</menu>

2 Create a style for the action bar and use a custom background:

<resources>
    <!-- the theme applied to the application or activity -->
    <style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
        <!-- other activity and action bar styles here -->
    </style>
    <!-- style for the action bar backgrounds -->
    <style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/background</item>
        <item name="android:backgroundStacked">@drawable/background</item>
        <item name="android:backgroundSplit">@drawable/split_background</item>
    </style>
</resources>

3 Style again android:actionBarDivider

The android documentation is very usefull for that.

Cheap way to search a large text file for a string

You could do a simple find:

f = open('file.txt', 'r')
lines = f.read()
answer = lines.find('string')

A simple find will be quite a bit quicker than regex if you can get away with it.

Is there a good JavaScript minifier?

If you are using PHP you might also want to take a look at minify which can minify and combine JavaScript files. The integration is pretty easy and can be done by defined groups of files or an easy query string. Minified files are also cached to reduce the server load and you can add expire headers through minify.

Python 2.6: Class inside a Class?

It sounds like you are talking about aggregation. Each instance of your player class can contain zero or more instances of Airplane, which, in turn, can contain zero or more instances of Flight. You can implement this in Python using the built-in list type to save you naming variables with numbers.

class Flight(object):

    def __init__(self, duration):
        self.duration = duration


class Airplane(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.flights = []

    def add_flight(self, duration):
        self.flights.append(Flight(duration))


class Player(object):

    def __init__ (self, stock = 0, bank = 200000, fuel = 0, total_pax = 0):
        self.stock = stock
        self.bank = bank
        self.fuel = fuel
        self.total_pax = total_pax
        self.airplanes = []


    def add_planes(self):
        self.airplanes.append(Airplane())



if __name__ == '__main__':
    player = Player()
    player.add_planes()
    player.airplanes[0].add_flight(5)

How to insert Records in Database using C# language?

Use a parameterized query to prevent Sql injections (secutity problem)

Use the using statement so the connection will be closed and resources will be disposed.

using(var connection = new SqlConnection("connectionString"))
{
    connection.Open();
    var sql = "INSERT INTO Main(FirstName, SecondName) VALUES(@FirstName, @SecondName)";
    using(var cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, connection))
    {
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", txFirstName.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SecondName", txSecondName.Text);

        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}

SQL query to get the deadlocks in SQL SERVER 2008

In order to capture deadlock graphs without using a trace (you don't need profiler necessarily), you can enable trace flag 1222. This will write deadlock information to the error log. However, the error log is textual, so you won't get nice deadlock graph pictures - you'll have to read the text of the deadlocks to figure it out.

I would set this as a startup trace flag (in which case you'll need to restart the service). However, you can run it only for the current running instance of the service (which won't require a restart, but which won't resume upon the next restart) using the following global trace flag command:

DBCC TRACEON(1222, -1);

A quick search yielded this tutorial:

http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2130/finding-sql-server-deadlocks-using-trace-flag-1222/

Also note that if your system experiences a lot of deadlocks, this can really hammer your error log, and can become quite a lot of noise, drowning out other, important errors.

Have you considered third party monitoring tools? SQL Sentry Performance Advisor, for example, has a much nicer deadlock graph, showing you object / index names as well as the order in which the locks were taken. As a bonus, these are captured for you automatically on monitored servers without having to configure trace flags, run your own traces, etc.:

Disclaimer: I work for SQL Sentry.

How to save as a new file and keep working on the original one in Vim?

The following command will create a copy in a new window. So you can continue see both original file and the new file.

:w {newfilename} | sp #

unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING error

My issue was also within the heredoc. I had it within an if/then statement and the closing bracket directly after the semicolon. So I moved the closing bracket to its own line and issue was fixed.

I changed:

... ;}

to:

... ;
}

getting error HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL but not used `get` ever?

I think your issue may be in the url pattern. Changing

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Register</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/Register</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

and

<form action="/Register" method="post">

may fix your problem

Kill Attached Screen in Linux

This worked for me very well. Get the screen id via:

screen -r

screen -ls

then kill the screen: kill -9 <screenID> it now becomes a dead screen, then wipe it out with: screen -wipe

How can I create tests in Android Studio?

As of now (studio 0.61) maintaining proper project structure is enough. No need to create separate test project as in eclipse (see below).

Tests structure

npm ERR! registry error parsing json - While trying to install Cordova for Ionic Framework in Windows 8

I had the same issue and the following fixed my issue:

Set the registry: npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/"
Removed the entry in hosts file (using Windows 7) => C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

addID in jQuery?

I've used something like this before which addresses @scunliffes concern. It finds all instances of items with a class of (in this case .button), and assigns an ID and appends its index to the id name:

_x000D_

$(".button").attr('id', function (index) {_x000D_
 return "button-" + index;_x000D_
});

_x000D_

So let's say you have 3 items with the class name of .button on a page. The result would be adding a unique ID to all of them (in addition to their class of "button").

In this case, #button-0, #button-1, #button-2, respectively. This can come in very handy. Simply replace ".button" in the first line with whatever class you want to target, and replace "button" in the return statement with whatever you'd like your unique ID to be. Hope this helps!

NPM clean modules

For windows environment:

Data structure for maintaining tabular data in memory?

First, given that you have a complex data retrieval scenario, are you sure even SQLite is overkill?

You'll end up having an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of SQLite, paraphrasing Greenspun's Tenth Rule.

That said, you are very right in saying that choosing a single data structure will impact one or more of searching, sorting or counting, so if performance is paramount and your data is constant, you could consider having more than one structure for different purposes.

Above all, measure what operations will be more common and decide which structure will end up costing less.

Generate Json schema from XML schema (XSD)

Disclaimer: I am the author of Jsonix, a powerful open-source XML<->JSON JavaScript mapping library.

Today I've released the new version of the Jsonix Schema Compiler, with the new JSON Schema generation feature.

Let's take the Purchase Order schema for example. Here's a fragment:

  <xsd:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>

  <xsd:complexType name="PurchaseOrderType">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="shipTo" type="USAddress"/>
      <xsd:element name="billTo" type="USAddress"/>
      <xsd:element ref="comment" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xsd:element name="items"  type="Items"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:attribute name="orderDate" type="xsd:date"/>
  </xsd:complexType>

You can compile this schema using the provided command-line tool:

java -jar jsonix-schema-compiler-full.jar
    -generateJsonSchema
    -p PO
    schemas/purchaseorder.xsd

The compiler generates Jsonix mappings as well the matching JSON Schema.

Here's what the result looks like (edited for brevity):

{
    "id":"PurchaseOrder.jsonschema#",
    "definitions":{
        "PurchaseOrderType":{
            "type":"object",
            "title":"PurchaseOrderType",
            "properties":{
                "shipTo":{
                    "title":"shipTo",
                    "allOf":[
                        {
                            "$ref":"#/definitions/USAddress"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                "billTo":{
                    "title":"billTo",
                    "allOf":[
                        {
                            "$ref":"#/definitions/USAddress"
                        }
                    ]
                }, ...
            }
        },
        "USAddress":{ ... }, ...
    },
    "anyOf":[
        {
            "type":"object",
            "properties":{
                "name":{
                    "$ref":"http://www.jsonix.org/jsonschemas/w3c/2001/XMLSchema.jsonschema#/definitions/QName"
                },
                "value":{

Now this JSON Schema is derived from the original XML Schema. It is not exactly 1:1 transformation, but very very close.

The generated JSON Schema matches the generatd Jsonix mappings. So if you use Jsonix for XML<->JSON conversion, you should be able to validate JSON with the generated JSON Schema. It also contains all the required metadata from the originating XML Schema (like element, attribute and type names).

Disclaimer: At the moment this is a new and experimental feature. There are certain known limitations and missing functionality. But I'm expecting this to manifest and mature very fast.

SQL JOIN, GROUP BY on three tables to get totals

First of all, shouldn't there be a CustomerId in the Invoices table? As it is, You can't perform this query for Invoices that have no payments on them as yet. If there are no payments on an invoice, that invoice will not even show up in the ouput of the query, even though it's an outer join...

Also, When a customer makes a payment, how do you know what Invoice to attach it to ? If the only way is by the InvoiceId on the stub that arrives with the payment, then you are (perhaps inappropriately) associating Invoices with the customer that paid them, rather than with the customer that ordered them... . (Sometimes an invoice can be paid by someone other than the customer who ordered the services)

FtpWebRequest Download File

I know this is an old Post but I am adding here for future reference. Here is a solution that I found:

    private void DownloadFileFTP()
    {
        string inputfilepath = @"C:\Temp\FileName.exe";
        string ftphost = "xxx.xx.x.xxx";
        string ftpfilepath = "/Updater/Dir1/FileName.exe";

        string ftpfullpath = "ftp://" + ftphost + ftpfilepath;

        using (WebClient request = new WebClient())
        {
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("UserName", "P@55w0rd");
            byte[] fileData = request.DownloadData(ftpfullpath);

            using (FileStream file = File.Create(inputfilepath))
            {
                file.Write(fileData, 0, fileData.Length);
                file.Close();
            }
            MessageBox.Show("Download Complete");
        }
    }

eval command in Bash and its typical uses

eval takes a string as its argument, and evaluates it as if you'd typed that string on a command line. (If you pass several arguments, they are first joined with spaces between them.)

${$n} is a syntax error in bash. Inside the braces, you can only have a variable name, with some possible prefix and suffixes, but you can't have arbitrary bash syntax and in particular you can't use variable expansion. There is a way of saying “the value of the variable whose name is in this variable”, though:

echo ${!n}
one

$(…) runs the command specified inside the parentheses in a subshell (i.e. in a separate process that inherits all settings such as variable values from the current shell), and gathers its output. So echo $($n) runs $n as a shell command, and displays its output. Since $n evaluates to 1, $($n) attempts to run the command 1, which does not exist.

eval echo \${$n} runs the parameters passed to eval. After expansion, the parameters are echo and ${1}. So eval echo \${$n} runs the command echo ${1}.

Note that most of the time, you must use double quotes around variable substitutions and command substitutions (i.e. anytime there's a $): "$foo", "$(foo)". Always put double quotes around variable and command substitutions, unless you know you need to leave them off. Without the double quotes, the shell performs field splitting (i.e. it splits value of the variable or the output from the command into separate words) and then treats each word as a wildcard pattern. For example:

$ ls
file1 file2 otherfile
$ set -- 'f* *'
$ echo "$1"
f* *
$ echo $1
file1 file2 file1 file2 otherfile
$ n=1
$ eval echo \${$n}
file1 file2 file1 file2 otherfile
$eval echo \"\${$n}\"
f* *
$ echo "${!n}"
f* *

eval is not used very often. In some shells, the most common use is to obtain the value of a variable whose name is not known until runtime. In bash, this is not necessary thanks to the ${!VAR} syntax. eval is still useful when you need to construct a longer command containing operators, reserved words, etc.

Mockito test a void method throws an exception

If you ever wondered how to do it using the new BDD style of Mockito:

willThrow(new Exception()).given(mockedObject).methodReturningVoid(...));

And for future reference one may need to throw exception and then do nothing:

willThrow(new Exception()).willDoNothing().given(mockedObject).methodReturningVoid(...));

How to sum a variable by group

You can also use the by() function:

x2 <- by(x$Frequency, x$Category, sum)
do.call(rbind,as.list(x2))

Those other packages (plyr, reshape) have the benefit of returning a data.frame, but it's worth being familiar with by() since it's a base function.

Multiple github accounts on the same computer?

Option 0: you dont want to mess around with OS settings.. you just want to commit to a different github account with a different public key for one repo.

solution:

create the new key: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/alt_rsa
add the key to the keyset: ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/alt_rsa
copy and add the pub key to the github account: (see github instructions)
test the key with github: ssh -i ~/.ssh/alt_rsa T [email protected]
clone the repo using the git protocol (not HTTP): git clone git@github:myaccount...
in the cloned repo:

git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i ~/.ssh/alt_rsa -F /dev/null"
git config user.name [myaccount]
git config user.email [myaccount email]
now you should be able to git push correctly without interferring with your everyday git account

How to set up ES cluster?

I tried the steps that @KannarKK suggested on ES 2.0.2, however, I could not bring the cluster up and running. Evidently, I figured out something, as I had set tcp port number on Master, on the Slave configuration discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts needs Master's port number along with IP address ( tcp port number ) for discovery. So when I try following configuration it works for me.

Node 1

cluster.name: mycluster
node.name: "node1"
node.master: true
node.data: true
http.port : 9200
tcp.port : 9300
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
# I think unicast.host on master is redundant.
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node1.example.com"]

Node 2

cluster.name: mycluster
node.name: "node2"
node.master: false
node.data: true
http.port : 9201
tcp.port : 9301
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
# The port number of Node 1
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node1.example.com:9300"]

Laravel 5.2 - pluck() method returns array

I use laravel 7.x and I used this as a workaround:->get()->pluck('id')->toArray();

it gives back an array of ids [50,2,3] and this is the whole query I used:

   $article_tags = DB::table('tags')
    ->join('taggables', function ($join) use ($id) {
        $join->on('tags.id', '=', 'taggables.tag_id');
        $join->where([
            ['taggable_id', '=', $id],
            ['taggable_type','=','article']
        ]);
    })->select('tags.id')->get()->pluck('id')->toArray();

Insert data to MySql DB and display if insertion is success or failure

}

ng-mouseover and leave to toggle item using mouse in angularjs

I'd probably change your example to look like this:

<ul ng-repeat="task in tasks">
  <li ng-mouseover="enableEdit(task)" ng-mouseleave="disableEdit(task)">{{task.name}}</li>
  <span ng-show="task.editable"><a>Edit</a></span>
</ul>

//js
$scope.enableEdit = function(item){
  item.editable = true;
};

$scope.disableEdit = function(item){
  item.editable = false;
};

I know it's a subtle difference, but makes the domain a little less bound to UI actions. Mentally it makes it easier to think about an item being editable rather than having been moused over.

Delete element in a slice

Where a is the slice, and i is the index of the element you want to delete:

a = append(a[:i], a[i+1:]...)

... is syntax for variadic arguments in Go.

Basically, when defining a function it puts all the arguments that you pass into one slice of that type. By doing that, you can pass as many arguments as you want (for example, fmt.Println can take as many arguments as you want).

Now, when calling a function, ... does the opposite: it unpacks a slice and passes them as separate arguments to a variadic function.

So what this line does:

a = append(a[:0], a[1:]...)

is essentially:

a = append(a[:0], a[1], a[2])

Now, you may be wondering, why not just do

a = append(a[1:]...)

Well, the function definition of append is

func append(slice []Type, elems ...Type) []Type

So the first argument has to be a slice of the correct type, the second argument is the variadic, so we pass in an empty slice, and then unpack the rest of the slice to fill in the arguments.

ASP.NET Identity DbContext confusion

There is a lot of confusion about IdentityDbContext, a quick search in Stackoverflow and you'll find these questions:
" Why is Asp.Net Identity IdentityDbContext a Black-Box?
How can I change the table names when using Visual Studio 2013 AspNet Identity?
Merge MyDbContext with IdentityDbContext"

To answer to all of these questions we need to understand that IdentityDbContext is just a class inherited from DbContext.

Based on the source code if we want to merge IdentityDbContext with our DbContext we have two options:

First Option:
Create a DbContext which inherits from IdentityDbContext and have access to the classes.

   public class ApplicationDbContext 
    : IdentityDbContext
{
    public ApplicationDbContext()
        : base("DefaultConnection")
    {
    }

    static ApplicationDbContext()
    {
        Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationDbContext>(new ApplicationDbInitializer());
    }

    public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
    {
        return new ApplicationDbContext();
    }

    // Add additional items here as needed
}

Extra Notes:

1) We can also change asp.net Identity default table names with the following solution:

    public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext
    {    
        public ApplicationDbContext(): base("DefaultConnection")
        {
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(System.Data.Entity.DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUser>().ToTable("user");
            modelBuilder.Entity<ApplicationUser>().ToTable("user");

            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityRole>().ToTable("role");
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserRole>().ToTable("userrole");
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserClaim>().ToTable("userclaim");
            modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserLogin>().ToTable("userlogin");
        }
    }

2) Furthermore we can extend each class and add any property to classes like 'IdentityUser', 'IdentityRole', ...

    public class ApplicationRole : IdentityRole<string, ApplicationUserRole>
{
    public ApplicationRole() 
    {
        this.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
    }

    public ApplicationRole(string name)
        : this()
    {
        this.Name = name;
    }

    // Add any custom Role properties/code here
}


// Must be expressed in terms of our custom types:
public class ApplicationDbContext 
    : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, 
    string, ApplicationUserLogin, ApplicationUserRole, ApplicationUserClaim>
{
    public ApplicationDbContext()
        : base("DefaultConnection")
    {
    }

    static ApplicationDbContext()
    {
        Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationDbContext>(new ApplicationDbInitializer());
    }

    public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
    {
        return new ApplicationDbContext();
    }

    // Add additional items here as needed
}

To save time we can use AspNet Identity 2.0 Extensible Project Template to extend all the classes.

Second Option:(Not recommended)
We actually don't have to inherit from IdentityDbContext if we write all the code ourselves.
So basically we can just inherit from DbContext and implement our customized version of "OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)" from the IdentityDbContext source code

Converting a double to an int in C#

ToInt32 rounds. Casting to int just throws away the non-integer component.

Sorting hashmap based on keys

Use a TreeMap with a custom comparator.

class MyComparator implements Comparator<String>
    {
        public int compare(String o1,String o2)
        {
            // Your logic for comparing the key strings
        }
    }

TreeMap<String, Float> tm = new TreeMap<String , Float>(new MyComparator());

As you add new elements, they will be automatically sorted.

In your case, it might not even be necessary to implement a comparator because String ordering might be sufficient. But if you want to implement special cases, like lower case alphas appear before upper case, or treat the numbers a certain way, use the comparator.

How do I run all Python unit tests in a directory?

I just created a discover.py file in my base test directory and added import statements for anything in my sub directories. Then discover is able to find all my tests in those directories by running it on discover.py

python -m unittest discover ./test -p '*.py'

# /test/discover.py
import unittest

from test.package1.mod1 import XYZTest
from test.package1.package2.mod2 import ABCTest
...

if __name__ == "__main__"
    unittest.main()

How do I upload a file to an SFTP server in C# (.NET)?

For another un-free option try edtFTPnet/PRO. It has comprehensive support for SFTP, and also supports FTPS (and of course FTP) if required.

How can I check if a string contains a character in C#?

You can use the IndexOf method, which has a suitable overload for string comparison types:

if (def.IndexOf("s", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0) ...

Also, you would not need the == true, since an if statement only expects an expression that evaluates to a bool.

initialize a vector to zeros C++/C++11

Initializing a vector having struct, class or Union can be done this way

std::vector<SomeStruct> someStructVect(length);
memset(someStructVect.data(), 0, sizeof(SomeStruct)*length);

Multiple axis line chart in excel

It is possible to get both the primary and secondary axes on one side of the chart by designating the secondary axis for one of the series.

To get the primary axis on the right side with the secondary axis, you need to set to "High" the Axis Labels option in the Format Axis dialog box for the primary axis.

To get the secondary axis on the left side with the primary axis, you need to set to "Low" the Axis Labels option in the Format Axis dialog box for the secondary axis.

I know of no way to get a third set of axis labels on a single chart. You could fake in axis labels & ticks with text boxes and lines, but it would be hard to get everything aligned correctly.

The more feasible route is that suggested by zx8754: Create a second chart, turning off titles, left axes, etc. and lay it over the first chart. See my very crude mockup which hasn't been fine-tuned yet.

Anaconda vs. miniconda

Both Anaconda and miniconda use the conda package manager. The chief differece between between Anaconda and miniconda,however,is that

The Anaconda distribution comes pre-loaded with all the packages while the miniconda distribution is just the management system without any pre-loaded packages. If one uses miniconda, one has to download individual packages and libraries separately.

I personally use Anaconda distribution as I dont really have to worry much about individual package installations.

A disadvantage of miniconda is that installing each individual package can take a long amount of time. Compared to that installing and using Anaconda takes a lot less time.

However, there are some packages in anaconda (QtConsole, Glueviz,Orange3) that I have never had to use. I dont even know their purpose. So a disadvantage of anaconda is that it occupies more space than needed.

parent & child with position fixed, parent overflow:hidden bug

Because a fixed position element is fixed with respect to the viewport, not another element. Therefore since the viewport isn't cutting it off, the overflow becomes irrelevant.

Whereas the position and dimensions of an element with position:absolute are relative to its containing block, the position and dimensions of an element with position:fixed are always relative to the initial containing block. This is normally the viewport: the browser window or the paper’s page box.

Bootstrap Navbar toggle button not working

If you will change the ID then Toggle will not working same problem was with me i just change

id="defaultNavbar1" then toggle is working

Java switch statement: Constant expression required, but it IS constant

If you're using it in a switch case then you need to get the type of the enum even before you plug that value in the switch. For instance :

SomeEnum someEnum = SomeEnum.values()[1];

switch (someEnum) {
            case GRAPES:
            case BANANA: ...

And the enum is like:

public enum SomeEnum {

    GRAPES("Grapes", 0),
    BANANA("Banana", 1),

    private String typeName;
    private int typeId;

    SomeEnum(String typeName, int typeId){
        this.typeName = typeName;
        this.typeId = typeId;
    }
}

How to [recursively] Zip a directory in PHP?

Here's my version base on Alix's, works on Windows and hopefully on *nix too:

function addFolderToZip($source, $destination, $flags = ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE)
{
    $source = realpath($source);
    $destination = realpath($destination);

    if (!file_exists($source)) {
        die("file does not exist: " . $source);
    }

    $zip = new ZipArchive();
    if (!$zip->open($destination, $flags )) {
        die("Cannot open zip archive: " . $destination);
    }

    $files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
        new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

    $sourceWithSeparator = $source . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    foreach ($files as $file)
    {
        // Ignore "." and ".." folders
        if(in_array(substr($file,strrpos($file, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR)+1),array('.', '..')))
            continue;

        if (is_dir($file) === true)
        {
            $zip->addEmptyDir(
                str_replace($sourceWithSeparator, '', $file . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));
        }
        else if (is_file($file) === true)
        {
            $zip->addFile($file, str_replace($sourceWithSeparator, '', $file));
        }
    }

    return $zip->close();
}

How do I use $rootScope in Angular to store variables?

There are multiple ways to achieve this one:-

1. Add $rootScope in .run method

.run(function ($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.name = "Peter";
});

// Controller
.controller('myController', function ($scope,$rootScope) {
    console.log("Name in rootscope ",$rootScope.name);
    OR
    console.log("Name in scope ",$scope.name);
});

2. Create one service and access it in both the controllers.

.factory('myFactory', function () {
     var object = {};

     object.users = ['John', 'James', 'Jake']; 

     return object;
})
// Controller A

.controller('ControllerA', function (myFactory) {
    console.log("In controller A ", myFactory);
})

// Controller B

.controller('ControllerB', function (myFactory) {
    console.log("In controller B ", myFactory);
})

Bulk create model objects in django

worked for me to use manual transaction handling for the loop(postgres 9.1):

from django.db import transaction
with transaction.commit_on_success():
    for item in items:
        MyModel.objects.create(name=item.name)

in fact it's not the same, as 'native' database bulk insert, but it allows you to avoid/descrease transport/orms operations/sql query analyse costs

How can I make a countdown with NSTimer?

Swift 4.1 and Swift 5. The updatetime method will called after every second and seconds will display on UIlabel.

     var timer: Timer?
     var totalTime = 60
    
     private func startOtpTimer() {
            self.totalTime = 60
            self.timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1.0, target: self, selector: #selector(updateTimer), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
        }
    
    @objc func updateTimer() {
            print(self.totalTime)
            self.lblTimer.text = self.timeFormatted(self.totalTime) // will show timer
            if totalTime != 0 {
                totalTime -= 1  // decrease counter timer
            } else {
                if let timer = self.timer { 
                    timer.invalidate()
                    self.timer = nil
                }
            }
        }
    func timeFormatted(_ totalSeconds: Int) -> String {
        let seconds: Int = totalSeconds % 60
        let minutes: Int = (totalSeconds / 60) % 60
        return String(format: "%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds)
    }

How to set session timeout in web.config

If it's not working from web.config, you need to set it from IIS.

Why does git say "Pull is not possible because you have unmerged files"?

You are attempting to add one more new commits into your local branch while your working directory is not clean. As a result, Git is refusing to do the pull. Consider the following diagrams to better visualize the scenario:

remote: A <- B <- C <- D
local: A <- B*
(*indicates that you have several files which have been modified but not committed.)

There are two options for dealing with this situation. You can either discard the changes in your files, or retain them.

Option one: Throw away the changes
You can either use git checkout for each unmerged file, or you can use git reset --hard HEAD to reset all files in your branch to HEAD. By the way, HEAD in your local branch is B, without an asterisk. If you choose this option, the diagram becomes:

remote: A <- B <- C <- D
local: A <- B

Now when you pull, you can fast-forward your branch with the changes from master. After pulling, you branch would look like master:

local: A <- B <- C <- D

Option two: Retain the changes
If you want to keep the changes, you will first want to resolve any merge conflicts in each of the files. You can open each file in your IDE and look for the following symbols:

<<<<<<< HEAD
// your version of the code
=======
// the remote's version of the code
>>>>>>>

Git is presenting you with two versions of code. The code contained within the HEAD markers is the version from your current local branch. The other version is what is coming from the remote. Once you have chosen a version of the code (and removed the other code along with the markers), you can add each file to your staging area by typing git add. The final step is to commit your result by typing git commit -m with an appropriate message. At this point, our diagram looks like this:

remote: A <- B <- C <- D
local: A <- B <- C'

Here I have labelled the commit we just made as C' because it is different from the commit C on the remote. Now, if you try to pull you will get a non-fast forward error. Git cannot play the changes in remote on your branch, because both your branch and the remote have diverged from the common ancestor commit B. At this point, if you want to pull you can either do another git merge, or git rebase your branch on the remote.

Getting a mastery of Git requires being able to understand and manipulate uni-directional linked lists. I hope this explanation will get you thinking in the right direction about using Git.

CSS background-size: cover replacement for Mobile Safari

How to fix "Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS" error?

Try this:

 Select 
    Id, 
    Salt, 
    Password, 
    BannedEndDate, 
    (Select Count(*) 
        From LoginFails 
        Where username = '" + LoginModel.Username + "' And IP = '" + Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] + "')
 From Users 
 Where username = '" + LoginModel.Username + "'

And I recommend you strongly to use parameters in your query to avoid security risks with sql injection attacks!

Hope that helps!

Getting list of lists into pandas DataFrame

With approach explained by EdChum above, the values in the list are shown as rows. To show the values of lists as columns in DataFrame instead, simply use transpose() as following:

table = [[1 , 2], [3, 4]]
df = pd.DataFrame(table)
df = df.transpose()
df.columns = ['Heading1', 'Heading2']

The output then is:

      Heading1  Heading2
0         1        3
1         2        4

How can jQuery deferred be used?

Another example using Deferreds to implement a cache for any kind of computation (typically some performance-intensive or long-running tasks):

var ResultsCache = function(computationFunction, cacheKeyGenerator) {
    this._cache = {};
    this._computationFunction = computationFunction;
    if (cacheKeyGenerator)
        this._cacheKeyGenerator = cacheKeyGenerator;
};

ResultsCache.prototype.compute = function() {
    // try to retrieve computation from cache
    var cacheKey = this._cacheKeyGenerator.apply(this, arguments);
    var promise = this._cache[cacheKey];

    // if not yet cached: start computation and store promise in cache 
    if (!promise) {
        var deferred = $.Deferred();
        promise = deferred.promise();
        this._cache[cacheKey] = promise;

        // perform the computation
        var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
        args.push(deferred.resolve);
        this._computationFunction.apply(null, args);
    }

    return promise;
};

// Default cache key generator (works with Booleans, Strings, Numbers and Dates)
// You will need to create your own key generator if you work with Arrays etc.
ResultsCache.prototype._cacheKeyGenerator = function(args) {
    return Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments).join("|");
};

Here is an example of using this class to perform some (simulated heavy) calculation:

// The addingMachine will add two numbers
var addingMachine = new ResultsCache(function(a, b, resultHandler) {
    console.log("Performing computation: adding " + a + " and " + b);
    // simulate rather long calculation time by using a 1s timeout
    setTimeout(function() {
        var result = a + b;
        resultHandler(result);
    }, 1000);
});

addingMachine.compute(2, 4).then(function(result) {
    console.log("result: " + result);
});

addingMachine.compute(1, 1).then(function(result) {
    console.log("result: " + result);
});

// cached result will be used
addingMachine.compute(2, 4).then(function(result) {
    console.log("result: " + result);
});

The same underlying cache could be used to cache Ajax requests:

var ajaxCache = new ResultsCache(function(id, resultHandler) {
    console.log("Performing Ajax request for id '" + id + "'");
    $.getJSON('http://jsfiddle.net/echo/jsonp/?callback=?', {value: id}, function(data) {
        resultHandler(data.value);
    });
});

ajaxCache.compute("anID").then(function(result) {
    console.log("result: " + result);
});

ajaxCache.compute("anotherID").then(function(result) {
    console.log("result: " + result);
});

// cached result will be used
ajaxCache.compute("anID").then(function(result) {
    console.log("result: " + result);
});

You can play with the above code in this jsFiddle.

Negate if condition in bash script

You can use unequal comparison -ne instead of -eq:

wget -q --tries=10 --timeout=20 --spider http://google.com
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
    echo "Sorry you are Offline"
    exit 1
fi

Convert a bitmap into a byte array

A MemoryStream can be helpful for this. You could put it in an extension method:

public static class ImageExtensions
{
    public static byte[] ToByteArray(this Image image, ImageFormat format)
    {
        using(MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            image.Save(ms, format);
            return ms.ToArray();
        }
    }
}

You could just use it like:

var image = new Bitmap(10, 10);
// Draw your image
byte[] arr = image.ToByteArray(ImageFormat.Bmp);

I partially disagree with prestomanifto's answer in regards to the ImageConverter. Do not use ImageConverter. There's nothing technically wrong with it, but simply the fact that it uses boxing/unboxing from object tells me it's code from the old dark places of the .NET framework and its not ideal to use with image processing (it's overkill for converting to a byte[] at least), especially when you consider the following.

I took a look at the ImageConverter code used by the .Net framework, and internally it uses code almost identical to the one I provided above. It creates a new MemoryStream, saves the Bitmap in whatever format it was in when you provided it, and returns the array. Skip the extra overhead of creating an ImageConverter class by using MemoryStream

Custom Input[type="submit"] style not working with jquerymobile button

jQuery Mobile >= 1.4

Create a custom class, e.g. .custom-btn. Note that to override jQM styles without using !important, CSS hierarchy should be respected. .ui-btn.custom-class or .ui-input-btn.custom-class.

.ui-input-btn.custom-btn {
   border:1px solid red;
   text-decoration:none;
   font-family:helvetica;
   color:red;
   background:url(img.png) repeat-x;
}

Add a data-wrapper-class to input. The custom class will be added to input wrapping div.

<input type="button" data-wrapper-class="custom-btn">

Demo

jQuery Mobile <= 1.3

Input button is wrapped by a DIV with class ui-btn. You need to select that div and the input[type="submit"]. Using !important is essential to override Jquery Mobile styles.

Demo

div.ui-btn, input[type="submit"] {
 border:1px solid red !important;
 text-decoration:none !important;
 font-family:helvetica !important;
 color:red !important;
 background:url(../images/btn_hover.png) repeat-x !important;
}

Using fonts with Rails asset pipeline

Here my approach to using fonts in asset pipeline:

1) Put all your font file under app/assets/fonts/, actually you are not restricted to put it under fonts folder name. You can put any subfolder name you like. E.g. app/assets/abc or app/assets/anotherfonts. But i highly recommend you put it under app/assets/fonts/ for better folder structure.

2) From your sass file, using the sass helper font-path to request your font assets like this

@font-face {
    font-family: 'FontAwesome';
    src: url(font-path('fontawesome-webfont.eot') + '?v=4.4.0');
    src: url(font-path('fontawesome-webfont.eot') + '?#iefix&v=4.4.0') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url(font-path('fontawesome-webfont.woff2') + '?v=4.4.0') format('woff2'),
         url(font-path('fontawesome-webfont.woff') + '?v=4.4.0') format('woff'),
         url(font-path('fontawesome-webfont.ttf') + '?v=4.4.0') format('truetype'),
         url(font-path('fontawesome-webfont.svg') + '?v=4.4.0#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

3) Run bundle exec rake assets:precompile from your local machine and see your application.css result. You should see something like this:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'FontAwesome';
    src: url("/assets/fontawesome-webfont-d4f5a99224154f2a808e42a441ddc9248ffe78b7a4083684ce159270b30b912a.eot" "?v=4.4.0");
    src: url("/assets/fontawesome-webfont-d4f5a99224154f2a808e42a441ddc9248ffe78b7a4083684ce159270b30b912a.eot" "?#iefix&v=4.4.0") format("embedded-opentype"), url("/assets/fontawesome-webfont-3c4a1bb7ce3234407184f0d80cc4dec075e4ad616b44dcc5778e1cfb1bc24019.woff2" "?v=4.4.0") format("woff2"), url("/assets/fontawesome-webfont-a7c7e4930090e038a280fd61d88f0dc03dad4aeaedbd8c9be3dd9aa4c3b6f8d1.woff" "?v=4.4.0") format("woff"), url("/assets/fontawesome-webfont-1b7f3de49d68b01f415574ebb82e6110a1d09cda2071ad8451bdb5124131a292.ttf" "?v=4.4.0") format("truetype"), url("/assets/fontawesome-webfont-7414288c272f6cc10304aa18e89bf24fb30f40afd644623f425c2c3d71fbe06a.svg" "?v=4.4.0#fontawesomeregular") format("svg");
    font-weight: normal;

How to access accelerometer/gyroscope data from Javascript?

There are currently three distinct events which may or may not be triggered when the client devices moves. Two of them are focused around orientation and the last on motion:

ondeviceorientation is known to work on the desktop version of Chrome, and most Apple laptops seems to have the hardware required for this to work. It also works on Mobile Safari on the iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2. In the event handler function, you can access alpha, beta, gamma values on the event data supplied as the only argument to the function.
onmozorientation is supported on Firefox 3.6 and newer. Again, this is known to work on most Apple laptops, but might work on Windows or Linux machines with accelerometer as well. In the event handler function, look for x, y, z fields on the event data supplied as first argument.
ondevicemotion is known to work on iPhone 3GS + 4 and iPad (both with iOS 4.2), and provides data related to the current acceleration of the client device. The event data passed to the handler function has acceleration and accelerationIncludingGravity, which both have three fields for each axis: x, y, z

The "earthquake detecting" sample website uses a series of if statements to figure out which event to attach to (in a somewhat prioritized order) and passes the data received to a common tilt function:

if (window.DeviceOrientationEvent) {
    window.addEventListener("deviceorientation", function () {
        tilt([event.beta, event.gamma]);
    }, true);
} else if (window.DeviceMotionEvent) {
    window.addEventListener('devicemotion', function () {
        tilt([event.acceleration.x * 2, event.acceleration.y * 2]);
    }, true);
} else {
    window.addEventListener("MozOrientation", function () {
        tilt([orientation.x * 50, orientation.y * 50]);
    }, true);
}

The constant factors 2 and 50 are used to "align" the readings from the two latter events with those from the first, but these are by no means precise representations. For this simple "toy" project it works just fine, but if you need to use the data for something slightly more serious, you will have to get familiar with the units of the values provided in the different events and treat them with respect :)

Working copy locked error in tortoise svn while committing

I had no idea what file was having the lock so what I did to get out of this issue was:

Went to the highest level folder
Click clean-up and also ticked from the cleaning-up methods --> Break locks

This worked for me.

Python add item to the tuple

#1 form

a = ('x', 'y')
b = a + ('z',)
print(b)

#2 form

a = ('x', 'y')
b = a + tuple('b')
print(b)

How to prevent a background process from being stopped after closing SSH client in Linux

I would recommend using GNU Screen. It allows you to disconnect from the server while all of your processes continue to run. I don't know how I lived without it before I knew it existed.

How to use HTTP.GET in AngularJS correctly? In specific, for an external API call?

Try this

myApp.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
        $httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
        delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
    }
]);

Just setting useXDomain = true is not enough. AJAX request are also send with the X-Requested-With header, which indicate them as being AJAX. Removing the header is necessary, so the server is not rejecting the incoming request.

Catching "Maximum request length exceeded"

As you probably know, the maximum request length is configured in TWO places.

maxRequestLength - controlled at the ASP.NET app level
maxAllowedContentLength - under <system.webServer>, controlled at the IIS level

The first case is covered by other answers to this question.

To catch THE SECOND ONE you need to do this in global.asax:

protected void Application_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //check for the "file is too big" exception if thrown at the IIS level
    if (Response.StatusCode == 404 && Response.SubStatusCode == 13)
    {
        Response.Write("Too big a file"); //just an example
        Response.End();
    }
}

Controlling fps with requestAnimationFrame?

I always do it this very simple way without messing with timestamps:

var fps, eachNthFrame, frameCount;

fps = 30;

//This variable specifies how many frames should be skipped.
//If it is 1 then no frames are skipped. If it is 2, one frame 
//is skipped so "eachSecondFrame" is renderd.
eachNthFrame = Math.round((1000 / fps) / 16.66);

//This variable is the number of the current frame. It is set to eachNthFrame so that the 
//first frame will be renderd.
frameCount = eachNthFrame;

requestAnimationFrame(frame);

//I think the rest is self-explanatory
fucntion frame() {
  if (frameCount == eachNthFrame) {
    frameCount = 0;
    animate();
  }
  frameCount++;
  requestAnimationFrame(frame);
}

Remove menubar from Electron app

According to the official documentation @ https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/v8.0.0-beta.1/docs/api/menu.md the proper way to do this now since 7.1.2 and I have tested it on 8.0 as well is to :

const { app, Menu } = require('electron')

Menu.setApplicationMenu(null)

subquery in codeigniter active record

CodeIgniter Active Records do not currently support sub-queries, However I use the following approach:

#Create where clause
$this->db->select('id_cer');
$this->db->from('revokace');
$where_clause = $this->db->_compile_select();
$this->db->_reset_select();

#Create main query
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('certs');
$this->db->where("`id` NOT IN ($where_clause)", NULL, FALSE);

_compile_select() and _reset_select() are two undocumented (AFAIK) methods which compile the query and return the sql (without running it) and reset the query.

On the main query the FALSE in the where clause tells codeigniter not to escape the query (or add backticks etc) which would mess up the query. (The NULL is simply because the where clause has an optional second parameter we are not using)

However you should be aware as _compile_select() and _reset_select() are not documented methods it is possible that there functionality (or existence) could change in future releases.

Parse rfc3339 date strings in Python?

You should have a look at moment which is a python port of the excellent js lib momentjs.

One advantage of it is the support of ISO 8601 strings formats, as well as a generic "% format" :

import moment
time_string='2012-10-09T19:00:55Z'

m = moment.date(time_string, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
print m.format('YYYY-M-D H:M')
print m.weekday

Result:

2012-10-09 19:10

How to convert a single char into an int

For me the following worked quite well:

QChar c = '5';
int x = c.digitValue();
// x is now 5

Documentation: int QChar::digitValue() const which says:

Returns the numeric value of the digit, or -1 if the character is not a digit.

Javascript How to define multiple variables on a single line?

You want to rely on commas because if you rely on the multiple assignment construct, you'll shoot yourself in the foot at one point or another.

An example would be:

>>> var a = b = c = [];
>>> c.push(1)
[1]
>>> a
[1]

They all refer to the same object in memory, they are not "unique" since anytime you make a reference to an object ( array, object literal, function ) it's passed by reference and not value. So if you change just one of those variables, and wanted them to act individually you will not get what you want because they are not individual objects.

There is also a downside in multiple assignment, in that the secondary variables become globals, and you don't want to leak into the global namespace.

(function() {  var a = global = 5 })();
alert(window.global) // 5

It's best to just use commas and preferably with lots of whitespace so it's readable:

var a = 5
  , b = 2
  , c = 3
  , d = {}
  , e = [];

get all the images from a folder in php

PHP write file from input to txt

use fwrite() instead of file_put_contents()

Using PropertyInfo.GetValue()

In your example propertyInfo.GetValue(this, null) should work. Consider altering GetNamesAndTypesAndValues() as follows:

public void GetNamesAndTypesAndValues()
{
  foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in allClassProperties)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("{0} [type = {1}] [value = {2}]",
      propertyInfo.Name,
      propertyInfo.PropertyType,
      propertyInfo.GetValue(this, null));
  }
}

Room - Schema export directory is not provided to the annotation processor so we cannot export the schema

I use .kts Gradle files (Kotlin Gradle DSL) and the kotlin-kapt plugin but I still get a script compilation error when I use Ivanov Maksim's answer.

Unresolved reference: kapt

For me this was the only thing which worked:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        javaCompileOptions {
            annotationProcessorOptions {
                arguments = mapOf("room.schemaLocation" to "$projectDir/schemas")
            }
        }
    }
}

Enum Naming Convention - Plural

On the other thread C# naming convention for enum and matching property someone pointed out what I think is a very good idea:

"I know my suggestion goes against the .NET Naming conventions, but I personally prefix enums with 'E' and enum flags with 'F' (similar to how we prefix Interfaces with 'I')."

error: cast from 'void*' to 'int' loses precision

There is no "correct" way to store a 64-bit pointer in an 32-bit integer. The problem is not with casting, but with the target type loosing half of the pointer. The 32 remaining bits stored inside int are insufficient to reconstruct a pointer to the thread function. Most answers just try to extract 32 useless bits out of the argument.

As Ferruccio said, int must be replaced with intptr_t to make the program meaningful.

How to Serialize a list in java?

As pointed out already, most standard implementations of List are serializable. However you have to ensure that the objects referenced/contained within the list are also serializable.

foreach vs someList.ForEach(){}

I know two obscure-ish things that make them different. Go me!

Firstly, there's the classic bug of making a delegate for each item in the list. If you use the foreach keyword, all your delegates can end up referring to the last item of the list:

    // A list of actions to execute later
    List<Action> actions = new List<Action>();

    // Numbers 0 to 9
    List<int> numbers = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).ToList();

    // Store an action that prints each number (WRONG!)
    foreach (int number in numbers)
        actions.Add(() => Console.WriteLine(number));

    // Run the actions, we actually print 10 copies of "9"
    foreach (Action action in actions)
        action();

    // So try again
    actions.Clear();

    // Store an action that prints each number (RIGHT!)
    numbers.ForEach(number =>
        actions.Add(() => Console.WriteLine(number)));

    // Run the actions
    foreach (Action action in actions)
        action();

The List.ForEach method doesn't have this problem. The current item of the iteration is passed by value as an argument to the outer lambda, and then the inner lambda correctly captures that argument in its own closure. Problem solved.

(Sadly I believe ForEach is a member of List, rather than an extension method, though it's easy to define it yourself so you have this facility on any enumerable type.)

Secondly, the ForEach method approach has a limitation. If you are implementing IEnumerable by using yield return, you can't do a yield return inside the lambda. So looping through the items in a collection in order to yield return things is not possible by this method. You'll have to use the foreach keyword and work around the closure problem by manually making a copy of the current loop value inside the loop.

Stylesheet not loaded because of MIME-type

The issue, I think, was with a CSS library starting with comments.

While in development, I do not minify files and I don't remove comments. This meant that the stylesheet started with some comments, causing it to be seen as something different from CSS.

Removing the library and putting it into a vendor file (which is ALWAYS minified without comments) solved the issue.

Again, I'm not 100% sure this is a fix, but it's still a win for me as it works as expected now.

Check whether number is even or odd

If the modulus of the given number is equal to zero, the number is even else odd number. Below is the method that does that:

    System.out.println("Number is Even");
   } else {
    System.out.println("Number is odd");
  }
 }

How to change RGB color to HSV?

This is the VB.net version which works fine for me ported from the C code in BlaM's post.

There's a C implementation here:

http://www.cs.rit.edu/~ncs/color/t_convert.html

Should be very straightforward to convert to C#, as almost no functions are called - just > calculations.

Public Sub HSVtoRGB(ByRef r As Double, ByRef g As Double, ByRef b As Double, ByVal h As Double, ByVal s As Double, ByVal v As Double)
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim f, p, q, t As Double

    If (s = 0) Then
        ' achromatic (grey)
        r = v
        g = v
        b = v
        Exit Sub
    End If

    h /= 60 'sector 0 to 5
    i = Math.Floor(h)
    f = h - i 'factorial part of h
    p = v * (1 - s)
    q = v * (1 - s * f)
    t = v * (1 - s * (1 - f))

    Select Case (i)
        Case 0
            r = v
            g = t
            b = p
            Exit Select
        Case 1
            r = q
            g = v
            b = p
            Exit Select
        Case 2
            r = p
            g = v
            b = t
            Exit Select
        Case 3
            r = p
            g = q
            b = v
            Exit Select
        Case 4
            r = t
            g = p

Fetch: POST json data

From search engines, I ended up on this topic for non-json posting data with fetch, so thought I would add this.

For non-json you don't have to use form data. You can simply set the Content-Type header to application/x-www-form-urlencoded and use a string:

fetch('url here', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}, // this line is important, if this content-type is not set it wont work
    body: 'foo=bar&blah=1'
});

An alternative way to build that body string, rather then typing it out as I did above, is to use libraries. For instance the stringify function from query-string or qs packages. So using this it would look like:

import queryString from 'query-string'; // import the queryString class

fetch('url here', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}, // this line is important, if this content-type is not set it wont work
    body: queryString.stringify({for:'bar', blah:1}) //use the stringify object of the queryString class
});

Why does Math.Round(2.5) return 2 instead of 3?

The default MidpointRounding.ToEven, or Bankers' rounding (2.5 become 2, 4.5 becomes 4 and so on) has stung me before with writing reports for accounting, so I'll write a few words of what I found out, previously and from looking into it for this post.

Who are these bankers that are rounding down on even numbers (British bankers perhaps!)?

From wikipedia

The origin of the term bankers' rounding remains more obscure. If this rounding method was ever a standard in banking, the evidence has proved extremely difficult to find. To the contrary, section 2 of the European Commission report The Introduction of the Euro and the Rounding of Currency Amounts suggests that there had previously been no standard approach to rounding in banking; and it specifies that "half-way" amounts should be rounded up.

It seems a very strange way of rounding particularly for banking, unless of course banks use to receive lots of deposits of even amounts. Deposit £2.4m, but we'll call it £2m sir.

The IEEE Standard 754 dates back to 1985 and gives both ways of rounding, but with banker's as the recommended by the standard. This wikipedia article has a long list of how languages implement rounding (correct me if any of the below are wrong) and most don't use Bankers' but the rounding you're taught at school:

C/C++ round() from math.h rounds away from zero (not banker's rounding)
Java Math.Round rounds away from zero (it floors the result, adds 0.5, casts to an integer). There's an alternative in BigDecimal
Perl uses a similar way to C
Javascript is the same as Java's Math.Round.

Binary search (bisection) in Python

Check out the examples on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm

def binary_search(a, key, imin=0, imax=None):
    if imax is None:
        # if max amount not set, get the total
        imax = len(a) - 1

    while imin <= imax:
        # calculate the midpoint
        mid = (imin + imax)//2
        midval = a[mid]

        # determine which subarray to search
        if midval < key:
            # change min index to search upper subarray
            imin = mid + 1
        elif midval > key:
            # change max index to search lower subarray
            imax = mid - 1
        else:
            # return index number 
            return mid
    raise ValueError

Which version of Python do I have installed?

For bash scripts this would be the easiest way:

# In the form major.minor.micro e.g. '3.6.8'
# The second part excludes the 'Python ' prefix 
PYTHON_VERSION=`python3 --version | awk '{print $2}'`
echo "python3 version: ${PYTHON_VERSION}"
python3 version: 3.6.8

And if you just need the major.minor version (e.g. 3.6) you can either use the above and then pick the first 3 characters:

PYTHON_VERSION=`python3 --version | awk '{print $2}'`
echo "python3 major.minor: ${PYTHON_VERSION:0:3}"
python3 major.minor: 3.6

PYTHON_VERSION=`python3 -c 'import sys; print(str(sys.version_info[0])+"."+str(sys.version_info[1]))'`
echo "python3 major.minor: ${PYTHON_VERSION}"
python3 major.minor: 3.6

How to migrate GIT repository from one server to a new one

Take a look at this recipe on GitHub: https://help.github.com/articles/importing-an-external-git-repository

I tried a number of methods before discovering git push --mirror.

Worked like a charm!

Disable XML validation in Eclipse

Ensure your encoding is correct for all of your files, this can sometimes happen if you have the encoding wrong for your file or the wrong encoding in your XML header.

So, if I have the following NewFile.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<bar foo="foiré" />

And the eclipse encoding is UTF-8:

Eclipse Encoding Resource

The encoding of your file, the defined encoding in Eclipse (through Properties->Resource) and the declared encoding in the XML document all need to agree.

The validator is attempting to read the file, expecting <?xml ... but because the encoding is different from that expected, it's not finding it. Hence the error: Content is not allowed in prolog. The prolog is the bit before the <?xml declaration.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realise that the .xml files were generated and actually contain javascript.

When you suspend the validators, the error messages that you've generated don't go away. To get them to go away, you have to manually delete them.

Suspend the validators
Click on the 'Content is not allowed in prolog' message, right click and delete. You can select multiple ones, or all of them.
Do a Project->Clean. The messages should not come back.

I think that because you've suspended the validators, Eclipse doesn't realise it has to delete the old error messages which came from the validators.

Python Math - TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

lista = list.sort(lista)

This should be

lista.sort()

The .sort() method is in-place, and returns None. If you want something not in-place, which returns a value, you could use

sorted_list = sorted(lista)

Aside #1: please don't call your lists list. That clobbers the builtin list type.

Aside #2: I'm not sure what this line is meant to do:

print str("value 1a")+str(" + ")+str("value 2")+str(" = ")+str("value 3a ")+str("value 4")+str("\n")

is it simply

print "value 1a + value 2 = value 3a value 4"

? In other words, I don't know why you're calling str on things which are already str.

Aside #3: sometimes you use print("something") (Python 3 syntax) and sometimes you use print "something" (Python 2). The latter would give you a SyntaxError in py3, so you must be running 2.*, in which case you probably don't want to get in the habit or you'll wind up printing tuples, with extra parentheses. I admit that it'll work well enough here, because if there's only one element in the parentheses it's not interpreted as a tuple, but it looks strange to the pythonic eye..

The exception TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable happens because the value of lista is actually None. You can reproduce TypeError that you get in your code if you try this at the Python command line:

None[0]

The reason that lista gets set to None is because the return value of list.sort() is None... it does not return a sorted copy of the original list. Instead, as the documentation points out, the list gets sorted in-place instead of a copy being made (this is for efficiency reasons).

If you do not want to alter the original version you can use

other_list = sorted(lista)

Declare multiple module.exports in Node.js

This is just for my reference as what I was trying to achieve can be accomplished by this.

In the module.js

We can do something like this

    module.exports = function ( firstArg, secondArg ) {

    function firstFunction ( ) { ... }

    function secondFunction ( ) { ... }

    function thirdFunction ( ) { ... }

      return { firstFunction: firstFunction, secondFunction: secondFunction,
 thirdFunction: thirdFunction };

    }

In the main.js

var name = require('module')(firstArg, secondArg);

Get form data in ReactJS

An easy way to deal with refs:

  constructor(props) {_x000D_
    super(props);_x000D_
    this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  handleSubmit(e) {_x000D_
    e.preventDefault();_x000D_
    _x000D_
    const formData = {};_x000D_
    for (const field in this.refs) {_x000D_
      formData[field] = this.refs[field].value;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    console.log('-->', formData);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return (_x000D_
        <div>_x000D_
          <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>_x000D_
            <input ref="phone" className="phone" type='tel' name="phone"/>_x000D_
            <input ref="email" className="email" type='tel' name="email"/>_x000D_
            <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>_x000D_
          </form>_x000D_
        </div>_x000D_
    );_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
export default UserInfo;

How to read text files with ANSI encoding and non-English letters?

using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(File.Open(@"E:\Sample.txt", FileMode.Append), Encoding.GetEncoding(1250)))  ////File.Create(path)

            writer.Write("Sample Text");
        }

Using $state methods with $stateChangeStart toState and fromState in Angular ui-router

Suggestion 1

When you add an object to $stateProvider.state that object is then passed with the state. So you can add additional properties which you can read later on when needed.

Example route configuration

$stateProvider
.state('public', {
    abstract: true,
    module: 'public'
})
.state('public.login', {
    url: '/login',
    module: 'public'
})
.state('tool', {
    abstract: true,
    module: 'private'
})
.state('tool.suggestions', {
    url: '/suggestions',
    module: 'private'
});

The $stateChangeStart event gives you acces to the toState and fromState objects. These state objects will contain the configuration properties.

Example check for the custom module property

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function(e, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {
    if (toState.module === 'private' && !$cookies.Session) {
        // If logged out and transitioning to a logged in page:
        e.preventDefault();
        $state.go('public.login');
    } else if (toState.module === 'public' && $cookies.Session) {
        // If logged in and transitioning to a logged out page:
        e.preventDefault();
        $state.go('tool.suggestions');
    };
});

I didn't change the logic of the cookies because I think that is out of scope for your question.

Suggestion 2

You can create a Helper to get you this to work more modular.

Value publicStates

myApp.value('publicStates', function(){
    return {
      module: 'public',
      routes: [{
        name: 'login', 
        config: { 
          url: '/login'
        }
      }]
    };
});

Value privateStates

myApp.value('privateStates', function(){
    return {
      module: 'private',
      routes: [{
        name: 'suggestions', 
        config: { 
          url: '/suggestions'
        }
      }]
    };
});

The Helper

myApp.provider('stateshelperConfig', function () {
  this.config = {
    // These are the properties we need to set
    // $stateProvider: undefined
    process: function (stateConfigs){
      var module = stateConfigs.module;
      $stateProvider = this.$stateProvider;
      $stateProvider.state(module, {
        abstract: true,
        module: module
      });
      angular.forEach(stateConfigs, function (route){
        route.config.module = module;
        $stateProvider.state(module + route.name, route.config);
      });
    }
  };

  this.$get = function () {
    return {
      config: this.config
    };
  };
});

Now you can use the helper to add the state configuration to your state configuration.

myApp.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', 
    'stateshelperConfigProvider', 'publicStates', 'privateStates',
  function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, helper, publicStates, privateStates) {
    helper.config.$stateProvider = $stateProvider;
    helper.process(publicStates);
    helper.process(privateStates);
}]);

This way you can abstract the repeated code, and come up with a more modular solution.

Note: the code above isn't tested

Inline JavaScript onclick function

This isn't really recommended, but you can do it all inline like so:

<a href="#" onClick="function test(){ /* Do something */  } test(); return false;"></a>

But I can't think of any situations off hand where this would be better than writing the function somewhere else and invoking it onClick.

compilation error: identifier expected

You must to wrap your following code into a block (Either method or static).

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("What is your name?");
String name = in.readLine(); ;
System.out.println("Hello " + name);

Without a block you can only declare variables and more than that assign them a value in single statement.

For method main() will be best choice for now:

public class details {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

or If you want to use static block then...

public class details {
    static {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

or if you want to build another method then..

public class details {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        myMethod();
    }
    private static void myMethod(){
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

Also worry about exception due to BufferedReader .

If Radio Button is selected, perform validation on Checkboxes

You need to use == or === for comparison. = assigns a new value.

Besides that, using == is pointless when dealing with booleans only. Just use if(foo) instead of if(foo == true).
