What is the difference between Forking and Cloning on GitHub?

While @AniketThakur's answer is very good. No one has answered the following question yet.

Can I only send pull requests via GitHub if I've forked a project?

No. If you are a contributor to a repository, you can: Make a local clone. Make a local branch. Add commits to that branch. Push the local branch back to github (creating a remote branch in the process). Make a pull request requesting for that branch to be merged into the master branch (or whatever branch you like).

Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

I was running into the same issue when my callbacks would try to show a dialog.

I solved it with dedicated methods in the Activity - at the Activity instance member level - that use runOnUiThread(..)

public void showAuthProgressDialog() {
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            mAuthProgressDialog = DialogUtil.getVisibleProgressDialog(SignInActivity.this, "Loading ...");
        }
    });
}

public void dismissAuthProgressDialog() {
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            if (mAuthProgressDialog == null || ! mAuthProgressDialog.isShowing()) {
                return;
            }
            mAuthProgressDialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
}

How many concurrent AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) requests are allowed in popular browsers?

I just checked with www.browserscope.org and with IE9 and Chrome 24 you can have 6 concurrent connections to a single domain, and up to 17 to multiple ones.

cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=c++11" with g++

Quoting from the gcc website:

C++11 features are available as part of the "mainline" GCC compiler in the trunk of GCC's Subversion repository and in GCC 4.3 and later. To enable C++0x support, add the command-line parameter -std=c++0x to your g++ command line. Or, to enable GNU extensions in addition to C++0x extensions, add -std=gnu++0x to your g++ command line. GCC 4.7 and later support -std=c++11 and -std=gnu++11 as well.

So probably you use a version of g++ which doesn't support -std=c++11. Try -std=c++0x instead.

Availability of C++11 features is for versions >= 4.3 only.

Casting variables in Java

Actually, casting doesn't always work. If the object is not an instanceof the class you're casting it to you will get a ClassCastException at runtime.

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

This can happen if you call

 .SingleOrDefault()

on an IEnumerable with 2 or more elements.

check if a number already exist in a list in python

You could probably use a set object instead. Just add numbers to the set. They inherently do not replicate.

What encoding/code page is cmd.exe using?

Yes, it’s frustrating—sometimes type and other programs print gibberish, and sometimes they do not.

First of all, Unicode characters will only display if the current console font contains the characters. So use a TrueType font like Lucida Console instead of the default Raster Font.

But if the console font doesn’t contain the character you’re trying to display, you’ll see question marks instead of gibberish. When you get gibberish, there’s more going on than just font settings.

When programs use standard C-library I/O functions like printf, the program’s output encoding must match the console’s output encoding, or you will get gibberish. chcp shows and sets the current codepage. All output using standard C-library I/O functions is treated as if it is in the codepage displayed by chcp.

Matching the program’s output encoding with the console’s output encoding can be accomplished in two different ways:

A program can get the console’s current codepage using chcp or GetConsoleOutputCP, and configure itself to output in that encoding, or
You or a program can set the console’s current codepage using chcp or SetConsoleOutputCP to match the default output encoding of the program.

However, programs that use Win32 APIs can write UTF-16LE strings directly to the console with WriteConsoleW. This is the only way to get correct output without setting codepages. And even when using that function, if a string is not in the UTF-16LE encoding to begin with, a Win32 program must pass the correct codepage to MultiByteToWideChar. Also, WriteConsoleW will not work if the program’s output is redirected; more fiddling is needed in that case.

type works some of the time because it checks the start of each file for a UTF-16LE Byte Order Mark (BOM), i.e. the bytes 0xFF 0xFE. If it finds such a mark, it displays the Unicode characters in the file using WriteConsoleW regardless of the current codepage. But when typeing any file without a UTF-16LE BOM, or for using non-ASCII characters with any command that doesn’t call WriteConsoleW—you will need to set the console codepage and program output encoding to match each other.

How can we find this out?

Here’s a test file containing Unicode characters:

ASCII     abcde xyz
German    äöü ÄÖÜ ß
Polish    aezznl
Russian   ??????? ???
CJK       ??

Here’s a Java program to print out the test file in a bunch of different Unicode encodings. It could be in any programming language; it only prints ASCII characters or encoded bytes to stdout.

import java.io.*;

public class Foo {

    private static final String BOM = "\ufeff";
    private static final String TEST_STRING
        = "ASCII     abcde xyz\n"
        + "German    äöü ÄÖÜ ß\n"
        + "Polish    aezznl\n"
        + "Russian   ??????? ???\n"
        + "CJK       ??\n";

    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws Exception
    {
        String[] encodings = new String[] {
            "UTF-8", "UTF-16LE", "UTF-16BE", "UTF-32LE", "UTF-32BE" };

        for (String encoding: encodings) {
            System.out.println("== " + encoding);

            for (boolean writeBom: new Boolean[] {false, true}) {
                System.out.println(writeBom ? "= bom" : "= no bom");

                String output = (writeBom ? BOM : "") + TEST_STRING;
                byte[] bytes = output.getBytes(encoding);
                System.out.write(bytes);
                FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("uc-test-"
                    + encoding + (writeBom ? "-bom.txt" : "-nobom.txt"));
                out.write(bytes);
                out.close();
            }
        }
    }
}

The output in the default codepage? Total garbage!

The only thing that works is UTF-16LE file, with a BOM, printed to the console via type.

If we use anything other than type to print the file, we get garbage:

Z:\andrew\projects\sx\1259084>copy uc-test-UTF-16LE-bom.txt CON
 ¦A S C I I           a b c d e   x y z

 C J K               `O}Y
         1 file(s) copied.

From the fact that copy CON does not display Unicode correctly, we can conclude that the type command has logic to detect a UTF-16LE BOM at the start of the file, and use special Windows APIs to print it.

We can see this by opening cmd.exe in a debugger when it goes to type out a file:

enter image description here

After type opens a file, it checks for a BOM of 0xFEFF—i.e., the bytes 0xFF 0xFE in little-endian—and if there is such a BOM, type sets an internal fOutputUnicode flag. This flag is checked later to decide whether to call WriteConsoleW.

But that’s the only way to get type to output Unicode, and only for files that have BOMs and are in UTF-16LE. For all other files, and for programs that don’t have special code to handle console output, your files will be interpreted according to the current codepage, and will likely show up as gibberish.

You can emulate how type outputs Unicode to the console in your own programs like so:

#include <stdio.h>
#define UNICODE
#include <windows.h>

static LPCSTR lpcsTest =
    "ASCII     abcde xyz\n"
    "German    äöü ÄÖÜ ß\n"
    "Polish    aezznl\n"
    "Russian   ??????? ???\n"
    "CJK       ??\n";

int main() {
    int n;
    wchar_t buf[1024];

    HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

    n = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0,
            lpcsTest, strlen(lpcsTest),
            buf, sizeof(buf));

    WriteConsole(hConsole, buf, n, &n, NULL);

    return 0;
}

This program works for printing Unicode on the Windows console using the default codepage.

For the sample Java program, we can get a little bit of correct output by setting the codepage manually, though the output gets messed up in weird ways:

Z:\andrew\projects\sx\1259084>chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001

Z:\andrew\projects\sx\1259084>java Foo

A S C I I           a b c d e   x y z
…

However, a C program that sets a Unicode UTF-8 codepage:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main() {
    int c, n;
    UINT oldCodePage;
    char buf[1024];

    oldCodePage = GetConsoleOutputCP();
    if (!SetConsoleOutputCP(65001)) {
        printf("error\n");
    }

    freopen("uc-test-UTF-8-nobom.txt", "rb", stdin);
    n = fread(buf, sizeof(buf[0]), sizeof(buf), stdin);
    fwrite(buf, sizeof(buf[0]), n, stdout);

    SetConsoleOutputCP(oldCodePage);

    return 0;
}

does have correct output:

Z:\andrew\projects\sx\1259084>.\test
ASCII     abcde xyz
German    äöü ÄÖÜ ß
Polish    aezznl
Russian   ??????? ???
CJK       ??

The moral of the story?

type can print UTF-16LE files with a BOM regardless of your current codepage
Win32 programs can be programmed to output Unicode to the console, using WriteConsoleW.
Other programs which set the codepage and adjust their output encoding accordingly can print Unicode on the console regardless of what the codepage was when the program started
For everything else you will have to mess around with chcp, and will probably still get weird output.

How can I scan barcodes on iOS?

There are two major libraries:

ZXing a library written in Java and then ported to Objective C / C++ (QR code only). And an other port to ObjC has been done, by TheLevelUp: ZXingObjC
ZBar an open source software for reading bar codes, C based.

According to my experiments, ZBar is far more accurate and fast than ZXing, at least on iPhone.

Programmatically get own phone number in iOS

At the risk of getting negative marks, I want to suggest that the highest ranking solution (currently the first response) violates the latest SDK Agreement as of Nov 5, 2009. Our application was just rejected for using it. Here's the response from Apple:

"For security reasons, iPhone OS restricts an application (including its preferences and data) to a unique location in the file system. This restriction is part of the security feature known as the application's "sandbox." The sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls limiting an application's access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware, and so on."

The device's phone number is not available within your application's container. You will need to revise your application to read only within your directory container and resubmit your binary to iTunes Connect in order for your application to be reconsidered for the App Store.

This was a real disappointment since we wanted to spare the user having to enter their own phone number.

What is REST? Slightly confused

REST is not a specific web service but a design concept (architecture) for managing state information. The seminal paper on this was Roy Thomas Fielding's dissertation (2000), "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures" (available online from the University of California, Irvine).

First read Ryan Tomayko's post How I explained REST to my wife; it's a great starting point. Then read Fielding's actual dissertation. It's not that advanced, nor is it long (six chapters, 180 pages)! (I know you kids in school like it short).

EDIT: I feel it's pointless to try to explain REST. It has so many concepts like scalability, visibility (stateless) etc. that the reader needs to grasp, and the best source for understanding those are the actual dissertation. It's much more than POST/GET etc.

Android RelativeLayout programmatically Set "centerInParent"

Completely untested, but this should work:

View positiveButton = findViewById(R.id.positiveButton);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = 
    (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)positiveButton.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
positiveButton.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

Synchronizing a local Git repository with a remote one

If you are talking about syncing a forked repo then you can follow these steps.

How to sync a fork repository from git

check your current git branch

git branch
checkout to master if you are not on master

git checkout master
Fetch the upstream repository if you have correct access rights

git fetch upstream

If you are getting below error then run

git remote add upstream [email protected]:upstream_clone_repo_url/xyz.git

fatal: 'upstream/master' does not appear to be a git repository  
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Now run the below command.

git fetch upstream
Now if you are on master then merge the upstream/master into master branch

git merge upstream/master

That's it!!

Crosscheck via git remote command, more specific git remote -v

If I also have commit rights to the upstream repo, I can create a local upstream branch and do work that will go upstream there.

Why is Event.target not Element in Typescript?

I use this:

onClick({ target }: MouseEvent) => {
    const targetDivElement: HTMLDivElement = target as HTMLDivElement;
    
    const listFullHeight: number = targetDivElement.scrollHeight;
    const listVisibleHeight: number = targetDivElement.offsetHeight;
    const listTopScroll: number = targetDivElement.scrollTop;
}

How do I get started with Node.js

First, learn the core concepts of Node.js:

Then, you're going to want to see what the community has to offer:

The gold standard for Node.js package management is NPM.

Finally, you're going to want to know what some of the more popular packages are for various tasks:

Useful Tools for Every Project:

Underscore contains just about every core utility method you want.
Lo-Dash is a clone of Underscore that aims to be faster, more customizable, and has quite a few functions that underscore doesn't have. Certain versions of it can be used as drop-in replacements of underscore.
TypeScript makes JavaScript considerably more bearable, while also keeping you out of trouble!
JSHint is a code-checking tool that'll save you loads of time finding stupid errors. Find a plugin for your text editor that will automatically run it on your code.

Unit Testing:

Mocha is a popular test framework.
Vows is a fantastic take on asynchronous testing, albeit somewhat stale.
Expresso is a more traditional unit testing framework.
node-unit is another relatively traditional unit testing framework.
AVA is a new test runner with Babel built-in and runs tests concurrently.

Web Frameworks:

Express.js is by far the most popular framework.
Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express.js, which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs.
sails.js the most popular MVC framework for Node.js, and is based on express. It is designed to emulate the familiar MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the requirements of modern apps: data-driven APIs with a scalable, service-oriented architecture.
Meteor bundles together jQuery, Handlebars, Node.js, WebSocket, MongoDB, and DDP and promotes convention over configuration without being a Ruby on Rails clone.
Tower (deprecated) is an abstraction of a top of Express.js that aims to be a Ruby on Rails clone.
Geddy is another take on web frameworks.
RailwayJS is a Ruby on Rails inspired MVC web framework.
Sleek.js is a simple web framework, built upon Express.js.
Hapi is a configuration-centric framework with built-in support for input validation, caching, authentication, etc.
Trails is a modern web application framework. It builds on the pedigree of Rails and Grails to accelerate development by adhering to a straightforward, convention-based, API-driven design philosophy.
Danf is a full-stack OOP framework providing many features in order to produce a scalable, maintainable, testable and performant applications and allowing to code the same way on both the server (Node.js) and client (browser) sides.
Derbyjs is a reactive full-stack JavaScript framework. They are using patterns like reactive programming and isomorphic JavaScript for a long time.
Loopback.io is a powerful Node.js framework for creating APIs and easily connecting to backend data sources. It has an Angular.js SDK and provides SDKs for iOS and Android.

Web Framework Tools:

Jade is the HAML/Slim of the Node.js world
EJS is a more traditional templating language.
Don't forget about Underscore's template method!

Networking:

Connect is the Rack or WSGI of the Node.js world.
Request is a very popular HTTP request library.
socket.io is handy for building WebSocket servers.

Command Line Interaction:

minimist just command line argument parsing.
Yargs is a powerful library for parsing command-line arguments.
Commander.js is a complete solution for building single-use command-line applications.
Vorpal.js is a framework for building mature, immersive command-line applications.
Chalk makes your CLI output pretty.

Code Generators:

Yeoman Scaffolding tool from the command-line.
Skaffolder Code generator with visual and command-line interface. It generates a customizable CRUD application starting from the database schema or an OpenAPI 3.0 YAML file.

Work with streams:

How do I set a program to launch at startup

Several options, in order of preference:

Add it to the current user's Startup folder. This requires the least permissions for your app to run, and gives the user the most control and feedback of what's going on. The down-side is it's a little more difficult determining whether to show the checkbox already checked next time they view that screen in your program.
Add it to the HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key. The only problem here is it requires write access to the registry, which isn't always available.
Create a Scheduled Task that triggers on User Login
Add it to the HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key. The only problem here is it requires write access to the registry, which isn't always available.
Set it up as a windows service. Only do this if you really mean it, and you know for sure you want to run this program for all users on the computer.

This answer is older now. Since I wrote this, Windows 10 was released, which changes how the Start Menu folders work... including the Startup folder. It's not yet clear to me how easy it is to just add or remove a file in that folder without also referencing the internal database Windows uses for these locations.

Align two divs horizontally side by side center to the page using bootstrap css

Use the bootstrap classes col-xx-# and col-xx-offset-#

So what is happening here is your screen is getting divided into 12 columns. In col-xx-#, # is the number of columns you cover and offset is the number of columns you leave.

For xx, in a general website, md is preferred and if you want your layout to look the same in a mobile device, xs is preferred.

With what I can make of your requirement,

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-4">First Div</div>
  <div class="col-md-8">Second DIV </div>
</div>

Should do the trick.

java : non-static variable cannot be referenced from a static context Error

Your main() method is static, but it is referencing two non-static members: con2 and getConnectionUrl2(). You need to do one of three things:

1) Make con2 and getConnectionUrl2() static.

2) Inside main(), create an instance of class testconnect and access con2 and getConnectionUrl2() off of that.

3) Break out a different class to hold con2 and getConnectionUrl2() so that testconnect only has main in it. It will still need to instantiate the different class and call the methods off that.

Option #3 is the best option. #1 is the worst.

But, you cannot access non-static members from within a static method.

how to fix the issue "Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1" in iphone

For me this error was occuring because I changed the version number from 1 to 1.0 and build number from 6 to 1.1 as I pulled the code from source tree. I just changed it back and changed the build number from 6 to 7and it worked fine.

decimal vs double! - Which one should I use and when?

System.Single / float - 7 digits
System.Double / double - 15-16 digits
System.Decimal / decimal - 28-29 significant digits

The way I've been stung by using the wrong type (a good few years ago) is with large amounts:

£520,532.52 - 8 digits
£1,323,523.12 - 9 digits

You run out at 1 million for a float.

A 15 digit monetary value:

£1,234,567,890,123.45

9 trillion with a double. But with division and comparisons it's more complicated (I'm definitely no expert in floating point and irrational numbers - see Marc's point). Mixing decimals and doubles causes issues:

A mathematical or comparison operation that uses a floating-point number might not yield the same result if a decimal number is used because the floating-point number might not exactly approximate the decimal number.

When should I use double instead of decimal? has some similar and more in depth answers.

Using double instead of decimal for monetary applications is a micro-optimization - that's the simplest way I look at it.

How can one see the structure of a table in SQLite?

You can use the Firefox add-on called SQLite Manager to view the database's structure clearly.

Fast way of finding lines in one file that are not in another?

If you're short of "fancy tools", e.g. in some minimal Linux distribution, there is a solution with just cat, sort and uniq:

cat includes.txt excludes.txt excludes.txt | sort | uniq --unique

Test:

seq 1 1 7 | sort --random-sort > includes.txt
seq 3 1 9 | sort --random-sort > excludes.txt
cat includes.txt excludes.txt excludes.txt | sort | uniq --unique

# Output:
1
2

This is also relatively fast, compared to grep.

Opening a CHM file produces: "navigation to the webpage was canceled"

In addition to Eric Leschinski's answer, and because this is stackoverflow, a programmatical solution:

Windows uses hidden file forks to mark content as "downloaded". Truncating these unblocks the file. The name of the stream used for CHM's is "Zone.Identifier". One can access streams by appending :streamname when opening the file. (keep backups the first time, in case your RTL messes that up!)

In Delphi it would look like this:

var f : file;
begin
 writeln('unblocking ',s);
 assignfile(f,'some.chm:Zone.Identifier');
 rewrite(f,1);
 truncate(f);
 closefile(f);
end;

I'm told that on non forked filesystems (like FAT32) there are hidden files, but I haven't gotten to the bottom of that yet.

P.s. Delphi's DeleteFile() should also recognize forks.

Print Pdf in C#

i wrote a very(!) little helper method around the adobereader to bulk-print pdf from c#...:

  public static bool Print(string file, string printer) {
     try {
        Process.Start(
           Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
                @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" +
                @"\App Paths\AcroRd32.exe").GetValue("").ToString(),
           string.Format("/h /t \"{0}\" \"{1}\"", file, printer));
        return true;
     } catch { }
     return false;
  }

one cannot rely on the return-value of the method btw...

When your ssh key is password protected run ssh-add. npm probably hangs somewhere asking for your password.

What is the difference between field, variable, attribute, and property in Java POJOs?

variable - named storage address. Every variable has a type which defines a memory size, attributes and behaviours. There are for types of Java variables: class variable, instance variable, local variable, method parameter

//pattern
<Java_type> <name> ;

//for example
int myInt;
String myString;
CustomClass myCustomClass;

field - member variable or data member. It is a variable inside a class(class variable or instance variable)
attribute - in some articles you can find that attribute it is an object representation of class variable. Object operates by attributes which define a set of characteristics.

CustomClass myCustomClass = new CustomClass();
myCustomClass.myAttribute = "poor fantasy"; //`myAttribute` is an attribute of `myCustomClass` object with a "poor fantasy" value

property - field + bounded getter/setter. It has a field syntax but uses methods under the hood. Java does not support it in pure form. Take a look at Objective-C, Swift, Kotlin

For example Kotlin sample:

//field - Backing Field
class Person {
    var name: String = "default name"
        get() = field
        set(value) { field = value }
}

//using
val person = Person()
person.name = "Alex"    // setter is used
println(person.name)    // getter is used

[Swift variable, property...]

How to find the number of days between two dates

DATEDIFF(d, 'Start Date', 'End Date')

do it

Insert current date/time using now() in a field using MySQL/PHP

Currently, and with the new versions of Mysql can insert the current date automatically without adding a code in your PHP file. You can achieve that from Mysql while setting up your database as follows:

Now, any new post will automatically get a unique date and time. Hope this can help.

SoapUI "failed to load url" error when loading WSDL

How to scroll up or down the page to an anchor using jQuery?

following solution worked for me:

$("a[href^=#]").click(function(e)
        {
            e.preventDefault();
            var aid = $(this).attr('href');
            console.log(aid);
            aid = aid.replace("#", "");
            var aTag = $("a[name='"+ aid +"']");
            if(aTag == null || aTag.offset() == null)
                aTag = $("a[id='"+ aid +"']");

            $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: aTag.offset().top}, 1000);
        }
    );

PHP date() with timezone?

Use the DateTime class instead, as it supports timezones. The DateTime equivalent of date() is DateTime::format.

An extremely helpful wrapper for DateTime is Carbon - definitely give it a look.

You'll want to store in the database as UTC and convert on the application level.

Given a filesystem path, is there a shorter way to extract the filename without its extension?

You can use Path API as follow:

 var filenNme = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension([File Path]);

Hash String via SHA-256 in Java

Java 8: Base64 available:

    MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance( "SHA-512" );

    byte[] aMessageDigest = md.digest();

    String outEncoded = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString( aMessageDigest );
    return( outEncoded );

Display Yes and No buttons instead of OK and Cancel in Confirm box?

Create your own confirm box:

<div id="confirmBox">
    <div class="message"></div>
    <span class="yes">Yes</span>
    <span class="no">No</span>
</div>

Create your own confirm() method:

function doConfirm(msg, yesFn, noFn)
{
    var confirmBox = $("#confirmBox");
    confirmBox.find(".message").text(msg);
    confirmBox.find(".yes,.no").unbind().click(function()
    {
        confirmBox.hide();
    });
    confirmBox.find(".yes").click(yesFn);
    confirmBox.find(".no").click(noFn);
    confirmBox.show();
}

Call it by your code:

doConfirm("Are you sure?", function yes()
{
    form.submit();
}, function no()
{
    // do nothing
});

You'll need to add CSS to style and position your confirm box appropriately.

Gson: How to exclude specific fields from Serialization without annotations

I used this strategy: i excluded every field which is not marked with @SerializedName annotation, i.e.:

public class Dummy {

    @SerializedName("VisibleValue")
    final String visibleValue;
    final String hiddenValue;

    public Dummy(String visibleValue, String hiddenValue) {
        this.visibleValue = visibleValue;
        this.hiddenValue = hiddenValue;
    }
}


public class SerializedNameOnlyStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {

    @Override
    public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
        return f.getAnnotation(SerializedName.class) == null;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class<?> clazz) {
        return false;
    }
}


Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
                .setExclusionStrategies(new SerializedNameOnlyStrategy())
                .create();

Dummy dummy = new Dummy("I will see this","I will not see this");
String json = gson.toJson(dummy);

It returns

{"VisibleValue":"I will see this"}

Connecting to MySQL from Android with JDBC

You can't access a MySQL DB from Android natively. EDIT: Actually you may be able to use JDBC, but it is not recommended (or may not work?) ... see Android JDBC not working: ClassNotFoundException on driver

See

http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/connecting-mysql-database

http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/8339-connect-android-mysql-database-tutorial.html

Android cannot connect directly to the database server. Therefore we need to create a simple web service that will pass the requests to the database and will return the response.

http://codeoncloud.blogspot.com/2012/03/android-mysql-client.html

For most [good] users this might be fine. But imagine you get a hacker that gets a hold of your program. I've decompiled my own applications and its scary what I've seen. What if they get your username / password to your database and wreak havoc? Bad.

How to implement swipe gestures for mobile devices?

The simplest solution I've found that doesn't require a plugin:

document.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, false);        
document.addEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, false);
var xDown = null;                                                        
var yDown = null;  

function handleTouchStart(evt) {                                         
    xDown = evt.touches[0].clientX;                                      
    yDown = evt.touches[0].clientY;                                      
}; 

function handleTouchMove(evt) {
    if ( ! xDown || ! yDown ) {
        return;
    }
    var xUp = evt.touches[0].clientX;                                    
    var yUp = evt.touches[0].clientY;
    var xDiff = xDown - xUp;
    var yDiff = yDown - yUp;

    if ( Math.abs( xDiff ) > Math.abs( yDiff ) ) {/*most significant*/
        if ( xDiff > 0 ) {
        /* left swipe */ 
        } else {
        /* right swipe */
        }                       
    } else {
        if ( yDiff > 0 ) {
        /* up swipe */ 
        } else { 
        /* down swipe */
        }                                                                 
    }
    /* reset values */
    xDown = null;
    yDown = null;                                             
};

Using setattr() in python

You are setting self.name to the string "get_thing", not the function get_thing.

If you want self.name to be a function, then you should set it to one:

setattr(self, 'name', self.get_thing)

However, that's completely unnecessary for your other code, because you could just call it directly:

value_returned = self.get_thing()

Remove final character from string

Simple:

st =  "abcdefghij"
st = st[:-1]

There is also another way that shows how it is done with steps:

list1 = "abcdefghij"
list2 = list(list1)
print(list2)
list3 = list2[:-1]
print(list3)

This is also a way with user input:

list1 = input ("Enter :")
list2 = list(list1)
print(list2)
list3 = list2[:-1]
print(list3)

To make it take away the last word in a list:

list1 = input("Enter :")
list2 = list1.split()
print(list2)
list3 = list2[:-1]
print(list3)

How to handle AssertionError in Python and find out which line or statement it occurred on?

The traceback module and sys.exc_info are overkill for tracking down the source of an exception. That's all in the default traceback. So instead of calling exit(1) just re-raise:

try:
    assert "birthday cake" == "ice cream cake", "Should've asked for pie"
except AssertionError:
    print 'Houston, we have a problem.'
    raise

Which gives the following output that includes the offending statement and line number:

Houston, we have a problem.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/poop.py", line 2, in <module>
    assert "birthday cake" == "ice cream cake", "Should've asked for pie"
AssertionError: Should've asked for pie

Similarly the logging module makes it easy to log a traceback for any exception (including those which are caught and never re-raised):

import logging

try:
    assert False == True 
except AssertionError:
    logging.error("Nothing is real but I can't quit...", exc_info=True)

How to set character limit on the_content() and the_excerpt() in wordpress

Or even easier and without the need to create a filter: use PHP's mb_strimwidth to truncate a string to a certain width (length). Just make sure you use one of the get_ syntaxes. For example with the content:

<?php $content = get_the_content(); echo mb_strimwidth($content, 0, 400, '...');?>

This will cut the string at 400 characters and close it with .... Just add a "read more"-link to the end by pointing to the permalink with get_permalink().

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read more </a>

Of course you could also build the read more in the first line. Than just replace '...' with '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">[Read more]</a>'

Php - testing if a radio button is selected and get the value

Just simply use isset($_POST['radio']) so that whenever i click any of the radio button, the one that is clicked is set to the post.

 <form method="post" action="sample.php">
 select sex: 
 <input type="radio" name="radio" value="male">
 <input type="radio" name="radio" value="female">

 <input type="submit" value="submit">
 </form>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['radio'])){

    $Sex = $_POST['radio'];
 }
  ?>

Cannot import keras after installation

I had pip referring by default to pip3, which made me download the libs for python3. On the contrary I launched the shell as python (which opened python 2) and the library wasn't installed there obviously.

Once I matched the names pip3 -> python3, pip -> python (2) all worked.

Why is there no Constant feature in Java?

There is a way to create "const" variables in Java, but only for specific classes. Just define a class with final properties and subclass it. Then use the base class where you would want to use "const". Likewise, if you need to use "const" methods, add them to the base class. The compiler will not allow you to modify what it thinks is the final methods of the base class, but it will read and call methods on the subclass.

How does one convert a HashMap to a List in Java?

If you wanna maintain the same order in your list, say: your Map looks like:

map.put(1, "msg1")
map.put(2, "msg2")
map.put(3, "msg3")

and you want your list looks like

["msg1", "msg2", "msg3"]   // same order as the map

you will have to iterate through the Map:

// sort your map based on key, otherwise you will get IndexOutofBoundException
Map<String, String> treeMap = new TreeMap<String, String>(map)

List<String> list = new List<String>();
for (treeMap.Entry<Integer, String> entry : treeMap.entrySet()) {
    list.add(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}

Submit two forms with one button

In Chrome and IE9 (and I'm guessing all other browsers too) only the latter will generate a socket connect, the first one will be discarded. (The browser detects this as both requests are sent within one JavaScript "timeslice" in your code above, and discards all but the last request.)

If you instead have some event callback do the second submission (but before the reply is received), the socket of the first request will be cancelled. This is definitely nothing to recommend as the server in that case may well have handled your first request, but you will never know for sure.

I recommend you use/generate a single request which you can transact server-side.

How can I get an int from stdio in C?

The solution is quite simple ... you're reading getchar() which gives you the first character in the input buffer, and scanf just parsed it (really don't know why) to an integer, if you just forget the getchar for a second, it will read the full buffer until a newline char.

printf("> ");
int x;
scanf("%d", &x);
printf("got the number: %d", x);

Outputs

> [prompt expecting input, lets write:] 1234 [Enter]
got the number: 1234

Normalize numpy array columns in python

You can use sklearn.preprocessing:

How can I use iptables on centos 7?

Last month I tried to configure iptables on a LXC VM container, but every time after reboot the iptables configuration was not automatically loaded.

The only way for me to get it working was by running the following command:

yum -y install iptables-services; systemctl disable firewalld; systemctl mask firewalld; service iptables restart; service iptables save

forcing web-site to show in landscape mode only

@Golmaal really answered this, I'm just being a bit more verbose.

<style type="text/css">
    #warning-message { display: none; }
    @media only screen and (orientation:portrait){
        #wrapper { display:none; }
        #warning-message { display:block; }
    }
    @media only screen and (orientation:landscape){
        #warning-message { display:none; }
    }
</style>

....

<div id="wrapper">
    <!-- your html for your website -->
</div>
<div id="warning-message">
    this website is only viewable in landscape mode
</div>

You have no control over the user moving the orientation however you can at least message them. This example will hide the wrapper if in portrait mode and show the warning message and then hide the warning message in landscape mode and show the portrait.

I don't think this answer is any better than @Golmaal , only a compliment to it. If you like this answer, make sure to give @Golmaal the credit.

Update

I've been working with Cordova a lot recently and it turns out you CAN control it when you have access to the native features.

Another Update

So after releasing Cordova it is really terrible in the end. It is better to use something like React Native if you want JavaScript. It is really amazing and I know it isn't pure web but the pure web experience on mobile kind of failed.

Generate SQL Create Scripts for existing tables with Query

"Easiest way is to use the built-in feature of SQL Management Studio" but... I have resolved it with a function and a couple of procedures. For example, to obtain the create table for a table named 'table_name', you have to execute just the procedure called sp_ppinScriptTabla:

Exec sp_ppinScriptTabla 'table_name'

Here is the tsql script code:

Use Master
GO

Create Function sp_ppinTipoLongitud
(
    @xtype int,
    @length int,
    @isnullable int

Returns Varchar(512)
As 
Begin
    -- Función que a partir de un tipo de datos y una logitud, devuelve el texto del tipo.
    -- Por ejemplo: para xtype=varchar y length=10 devolverá "varchar(10)"
    Declare @ret varchar(512)
    Set @ret = ''

    Select @ret = t.name +
    Case When name in ('varchar', 'nvarchar', 'char', 'nchar') Then '(' + Convert(varchar, @length) + ')' Else '' End + ' ' +
    Case @isnullable When 1 Then 'NULL' Else 'NOT NULL' End

UnmodifiableMap (Java Collections) vs ImmutableMap (Google)

Have a look at ImmutableMap JavaDoc: doc

There is information about that there:

Unlike Collections.unmodifiableMap(java.util.Map), which is a view of a separate map which can still change, an instance of ImmutableMap contains its own data and will never change. ImmutableMap is convenient for public static final maps ("constant maps") and also lets you easily make a "defensive copy" of a map provided to your class by a caller.

textarea character limit

Quick and dirty universal jQuery version. Supports copy/paste.

$('textarea[maxlength]').on('keypress mouseup', function(){
    return !($(this).val().length >= $(this).attr('maxlength'));
});

Removing duplicate objects with Underscore for Javascript

here's my solution (coffeescript) :

_.mixin
  deepUniq: (coll) ->
    result = []
    remove_first_el_duplicates = (coll2) ->

      rest = _.rest(coll2)
      first = _.first(coll2)
      result.push first
      equalsFirst = (el) -> _.isEqual(el,first)

      newColl = _.reject rest, equalsFirst

      unless _.isEmpty newColl
        remove_first_el_duplicates newColl

    remove_first_el_duplicates(coll)
    result

example:

_.deepUniq([ {a:1,b:12}, [ 2, 1, 2, 1 ], [ 1, 2, 1, 2 ],[ 2, 1, 2, 1 ], {a:1,b:12} ]) 
//=> [ { a: 1, b: 12 }, [ 2, 1, 2, 1 ], [ 1, 2, 1, 2 ] ]

How to get the current working directory in Java?

Use CodeSource#getLocation().

This works fine in JAR files as well. You can obtain CodeSource by ProtectionDomain#getCodeSource() and the ProtectionDomain in turn can be obtained by Class#getProtectionDomain().

public class Test {
    public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
        URL location = Test.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
        System.out.println(location.getFile());
    }
}

What's the difference between a mock & stub?

See below example of mocks vs stubs using C# and Moq framework. Moq doesn't have a special keyword for Stub but you can use Mock object to create stubs too.

How to count TRUE values in a logical vector

I've been doing something similar a few weeks ago. Here's a possible solution, it's written from scratch, so it's kind of beta-release or something like that. I'll try to improve it by removing loops from code...

The main idea is to write a function that will take 2 (or 3) arguments. First one is a data.frame which holds the data gathered from questionnaire, and the second one is a numeric vector with correct answers (this is only applicable for single choice questionnaire). Alternatively, you can add third argument that will return numeric vector with final score, or data.frame with embedded score.

fscore <- function(x, sol, output = 'numeric') {
    if (ncol(x) != length(sol)) {
        stop('Number of items differs from length of correct answers!')
    } else {
        inc <- matrix(ncol=ncol(x), nrow=nrow(x))
        for (i in 1:ncol(x)) {
            inc[,i] <- x[,i] == sol[i]
        }
        if (output == 'numeric') {
            res <- rowSums(inc)
        } else if (output == 'data.frame') {
            res <- data.frame(x, result = rowSums(inc))
        } else {
            stop('Type not supported!')
        }
    }
    return(res)
}

I'll try to do this in a more elegant manner with some *ply function. Notice that I didn't put na.rm argument... Will do that

# create dummy data frame - values from 1 to 5
set.seed(100)
d <- as.data.frame(matrix(round(runif(200,1,5)), 10))
# create solution vector
sol <- round(runif(20, 1, 5))

Now apply a function:

> fscore(d, sol)
 [1] 6 4 2 4 4 3 3 6 2 6

If you pass data.frame argument, it will return modified data.frame. I'll try to fix this one... Hope it helps!

How to compare two dates?

For calculating days in two dates difference, can be done like below:

import datetime
import math

issuedate = datetime(2019,5,9)   #calculate the issue datetime
current_date = datetime.datetime.now() #calculate the current datetime
diff_date = current_date - issuedate #//calculate the date difference with time also
amount = fine  #you want change

if diff_date.total_seconds() > 0.0:   #its matching your condition
    days = math.ceil(diff_date.total_seconds()/86400)  #calculate days (in 
    one day 86400 seconds)
    deductable_amount = round(amount,2)*days #calclulated fine for all days

Becuase if one second is more with the due date then we have to charge

How to undo a git merge with conflicts

Actually, it is worth noticing that git merge --abort is only equivalent to git reset --merge given that MERGE_HEAD is present. This can be read in the git help for merge command.

git merge --abort # is equivalent to git reset --merge when MERGE_HEAD is present.

After a failed merge, when there is no MERGE_HEAD, the failed merge can be undone with git reset --merge but not necessarily with git merge --abort, so they are not only old and new syntax for the same thing.

Personally I find git reset --merge much more useful in everyday work.

Move_uploaded_file() function is not working

You are not refering to the temporary location where the file is saved.

Use tmp_name to access the file.

You can always see what's getting posted using :

If you see this files array you will have an better understanding and idea of what's going on.

Nesting await in Parallel.ForEach

I am a little late to party but you may want to consider using GetAwaiter.GetResult() to run your async code in sync context but as paralled as below;

 Parallel.ForEach(ids, i =>
{
    ICustomerRepo repo = new CustomerRepo();
    // Run this in thread which Parallel library occupied.
    var cust = repo.GetCustomer(i).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
    customers.Add(cust);
});

Best way to check if column returns a null value (from database to .net application)

I know i am probably the only one that will have this problem in this way. but if you deleted the mdf files in the C:/{user}/ directory, you will get this error too. restore it and you are golden

How Do I 'git fetch' and 'git merge' from a Remote Tracking Branch (like 'git pull')

these are the commands:

git fetch origin
git merge origin/somebranch somebranch

if you do this on the second line:

git merge origin somebranch

it will try to merge the local master into your current branch.

The question, as I've understood it, was you fetched already locally and want to now merge your branch to the latest of the same branch.

How can I create an utility class?

Making a class abstract sends a message to the readers of your code that you want users of your abstract class to subclass it. However, this is not what you want then to do: a utility class should not be subclassed.

Therefore, adding a private constructor is a better choice here. You should also make the class final to disallow subclassing of your utility class.

Android Get Current timestamp?

WooCommerce: Finding the products in database

I would recommend using WordPress custom fields to store eligible postcodes for each product. add_post_meta() and update_post_meta are what you're looking for. It's not recommended to alter the default WordPress table structure. All postmetas are inserted in wp_postmeta table. You can find the corresponding products within wp_posts table.

Critical t values in R

The code you posted gives the critical value for a one-sided test (Hence the answer to you question is simply:

abs(qt(0.25, 40)) # 75% confidence, 1 sided (same as qt(0.75, 40))
abs(qt(0.01, 40)) # 99% confidence, 1 sided (same as qt(0.99, 40))

Note that the t-distribution is symmetric. For a 2-sided test (say with 99% confidence) you can use the critical value

abs(qt(0.01/2, 40)) # 99% confidence, 2 sided

Reversing a String with Recursion in Java

Run it through a debugger. All will become clear.

Convert a List<T> into an ObservableCollection<T>

The Observable Collection constructor will take an IList or an IEnumerable.

If you find that you are going to do this a lot you can make a simple extension method:

    public static ObservableCollection<T> ToObservableCollection<T>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerable)
    {
        return new ObservableCollection<T>(enumerable);
    }

Convert string to date then format the date

    String start_dt = "2011-01-01"; // Input String

    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); // Existing Pattern
    Date getStartDt = formatter.parse(start_dt); //Returns Date Format according to existing pattern

    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");// New Pattern
    String formattedDate = simpleDateFormat.format(getStartDt); // Format given String to new pattern

    System.out.println(formattedDate); //outputs: 01-01-2011

How to create new div dynamically, change it, move it, modify it in every way possible, in JavaScript?

Have you tried JQuery? Vanilla javascript can be tough. Try using this:

$('.container-element').add('<div>Insert Div Content</div>');

.container-element is a JQuery selector that marks the element with the class "container-element" (presumably the parent element in which you want to insert your divs). Then the add() function inserts HTML into the container-element.

What's the best/easiest GUI Library for Ruby?

If you're looking for a cross-platform GUI, then I'd highly recommend going with JRuby and Swing.

Also, take a look at the monkeybars library, which is a Ruby library for building MVC applications using JRuby and Swing, where you can also use the excellent Netbeans IDE to visually build your GUI.

Dynamically converting java object of Object class to a given class when class name is known

you don't, declare an interface that declares the methods you would like to call:

public interface MyInterface
{
  void doStuff();
}

public class MyClass implements MyInterface
{
  public void doStuff()
  {
    System.Console.Writeln("done!");
  }
}

then you use

MyInterface mobj = (myInterface)obj;
mobj.doStuff();

If MyClassis not under your control then you can't make it implement some interface, and the other option is to rely on reflection (see this tutorial).

Java multiline string

Another option may be to store long strings in an external file and read the file into a string.

how to fix java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

This error happens because your list lstpp is empty (Nothing at index 0). So either there is a bug in your getResult() function, or the empty list is normal and you need to handle this case (By checking the size of the list before, or catching the exception).

Numeric for loop in Django templates

You don't pass n itself, but rather range(n) [the list of integers from 0 to n-1 included], from your view to your template, and in the latter you do {% for i in therange %} (if you absolutely insist on 1-based rather than the normal 0-based index you can use forloop.counter in the loop's body;-).

how can I enable scrollbars on the WPF Datagrid?

Add grid with defined height and width for columns and rows. Then add ScrollViewer and inside it add the dataGrid.

Data structure for maintaining tabular data in memory?

A very old question I know but...

A pandas DataFrame seems to be the ideal option here.

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.13.1/generated/pandas.DataFrame.html

From the blurb

Two-dimensional size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations align on both row and column labels. Can be thought of as a dict-like container for Series objects. The primary pandas data structure

How to call a function after delay in Kotlin?

If you're using more recent Android APIs the Handler empty constructor has been deprecated and you should include a Looper. You can easily get one through Looper.getMainLooper().

    Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
        //Your code
    }, 2000) //millis

CSS3's border-radius property and border-collapse:collapse don't mix. How can I use border-radius to create a collapsed table with rounded corners?

If you want a CSS-only solution (no need to set cellspacing=0 in the HTML) that allows for 1px borders (which you can't do with the border-spacing: 0 solution), I prefer to do the following:

Set a border-right and border-bottom for your table cells (td and th)
Give the cells in the first row a border-top
Give the cells in the first column a border-left
Using the first-child and last-child selectors, round the appropriate corners for the table cells in the four corners.

See a demo here.

Given the following HTML:

Modular multiplicative inverse function in Python

from the cpython implementation source code:

def invmod(a, n):
    b, c = 1, 0
    while n:
        q, r = divmod(a, n)
        a, b, c, n = n, c, b - q*c, r
    # at this point a is the gcd of the original inputs
    if a == 1:
        return b
    raise ValueError("Not invertible")

according to the comment above this code, it can return small negative values, so you could potentially check if negative and add n when negative before returning b.

How to specify function types for void (not Void) methods in Java8?

When you need to accept a function as argument which takes no arguments and returns no result (void), in my opinion it is still best to have something like

  public interface Thunk { void apply(); }

somewhere in your code. In my functional programming courses the word 'thunk' was used to describe such functions. Why it isn't in java.util.function is beyond my comprehension.

In other cases I find that even when java.util.function does have something that matches the signature I want - it still doesn't always feel right when the naming of the interface doesn't match the use of the function in my code. I guess it's a similar point that is made elsewhere here regarding 'Runnable' - which is a term associated with the Thread class - so while it may have he signature I need, it is still likely to confuse the reader.

Android: How can I validate EditText input?

In order to reduce the verbosity of the validation logic I have authored a library for Android. It takes care of most of the day to day validations using Annotations and built-in rules. There are constraints such as @TextRule, @NumberRule, @Required, @Regex, @Email, @IpAddress, @Password, etc.,

You can add these annotations to your UI widget references and perform validations. It also allows you to perform validations asynchronously which is ideal for situations such as checking for unique username from a remote server.

There is a example on the project home page on how to use annotations. You can also read the associated blog post where I have written sample codes on how to write custom rules for validations.

Here is a simple example that depicts the usage of the library.

@Required(order = 1)
@Email(order = 2)
private EditText emailEditText;

@Password(order = 3)
@TextRule(order = 4, minLength = 6, message = "Enter at least 6 characters.")
private EditText passwordEditText;

@ConfirmPassword(order = 5)
private EditText confirmPasswordEditText;

@Checked(order = 6, message = "You must agree to the terms.")
private CheckBox iAgreeCheckBox;

The library is extendable, you can write your own rules by extending the Rule class.

Java: Difference between the setPreferredSize() and setSize() methods in components

setSize() or setBounds() can be used when no layout manager is being used.

However, if you are using a layout manager you can provide hints to the layout manager using the setXXXSize() methods like setPreferredSize() and setMinimumSize() etc.

And be sure that the component's container uses a layout manager that respects the requested size. The FlowLayout, GridBagLayout, and SpringLayout managers use the component's preferred size (the latter two depending on the constraints you set), but BorderLayout and GridLayout usually don't.If you specify new size hints for a component that's already visible, you need to invoke the revalidate method on it to make sure that its containment hierarchy is laid out again. Then invoke the repaint method.

How do I use Linq to obtain a unique list of properties from a list of objects?

Use the Distinct operator:

var idList = yourList.Select(x=> x.ID).Distinct();

Do subclasses inherit private fields?

Yes

It's important to realize that while there are two classes, there is only one object.

So, yes, of course it inherited the private fields. They are, presumably, essential for proper object functionality, and while an object of the parent class is not an object of the derived class, an instance of the derived class is mostly definitely an instance of the parent class. It could't very well be that without all of the fields.

No, you can't directly access them. Yes, they are inherited. They have to be.

It's a good question!

Update:

Err, "No"

Well, I guess we all learned something. Since the JLS originated the exact "not inherited" wording, it is correct to answer "no". Since the subclass can't access or modify the private fields, then, in other words, they are not inherited. But there really is just one object, it really does contain the private fields, and so if someone takes the JLS and tutorial wording the wrong way, it will be quite difficult to understand OOP, Java objects, and what is really happening.

Update to update:

The controversy here involves a fundamental ambiguity: what exactly is being discussed? The object? Or are we talking in some sense about the class itself? A lot of latitude is allowed when describing the class as opposed to the object. So the subclass does not inherit private fields, but an object that is an instance of the subclass certainly does contain the private fields.

How to select multiple files with <input type="file">?

New answer:

In HTML5 you can add the multiple attribute to select more than 1 file.

<input type="file" name="filefield" multiple="multiple">

Old answer:

You can only select 1 file per <input type="file" />. If you want to send multiple files you will have to use multiple input tags or use Flash or Silverlight.

SQLite error 'attempt to write a readonly database' during insert?

This can be caused by SELinux. If you don't want to disable SELinux completely, you need to set the db directory fcontext to httpd_sys_rw_content_t.

What is token-based authentication?

It's just hash which is associated with user in database or some other way. That token can be used to authenticate and then authorize a user access related contents of the application. To retrieve this token on client side login is required. After first time login you need to save retrieved token not any other data like session, session id because here everything is token to access other resources of application.

Token is used to assure the authenticity of the user.

UPDATES: In current time, We have more advanced token based technology called JWT (Json Web Token). This technology helps to use same token in multiple systems and we call it single sign-on.

Basically JSON Based Token contains information about user details and token expiry details. So that information can be used to further authenticate or reject the request if token is invalid or expired based on details.

How to fix Python Numpy/Pandas installation?

I work with the guys that created Anaconda Python. You can install multiple versions of python and numpy without corrupting your system python. It's free and open source (OSX, linux, Windows). The paid packages are enhancements on top of the free version. Pandas is included.

conda create --name np17py27 anaconda=1.4 numpy=1.7 python=2.7
export PATH=~/anaconda/envs/np17py27/bin:$PATH

If you want numpy 1.6:

conda create --name np16py27 anaconda=1.4 numpy=1.6 python=2.7

Setting your PATH sets up where to find python and ipython. The environments (np17py27) can be named whatever you would like.

Is there a conditional ternary operator in VB.NET?

Depends upon the version. The If operator in VB.NET 2008 is a ternary operator (as well as a null coalescence operator). This was just introduced, prior to 2008 this was not available. Here's some more info: Visual Basic If announcement

Example:

Dim foo as String = If(bar = buz, cat, dog)

[EDIT]

Prior to 2008 it was IIf, which worked almost identically to the If operator described Above.

Example:

Dim foo as String = IIf(bar = buz, cat, dog)

C char array initialization

Interestingly enough, it is possible to initialize arrays in any way at any time in the program, provided they are members of a struct or union.

Example program:

#include <stdio.h>

struct ccont
{
  char array[32];
};

struct icont
{
  int array[32];
};

int main()
{
  int  cnt;
  char carray[32] = { 'A', 66, 6*11+1 };    // 'A', 'B', 'C', '\0', '\0', ...
  int  iarray[32] = { 67, 42, 25 };

  struct ccont cc = { 0 };
  struct icont ic = { 0 };

  /*  these don't work
  carray = { [0]=1 };           // expected expression before '{' token
  carray = { [0 ... 31]=1 };    // (likewise)
  carray = (char[32]){ [0]=3 }; // incompatible types when assigning to type 'char[32]' from type 'char *'
  iarray = (int[32]){ 1 };      // (likewise, but s/char/int/g)
  */

  // but these perfectly work...
  cc = (struct ccont){ .array='a' };        // 'a', '\0', '\0', '\0', ...
  // the following is a gcc extension, 
  cc = (struct ccont){ .array={ [0 ... 2]='a' } };  // 'a', 'a', 'a', '\0', '\0', ...
  ic = (struct icont){ .array={ 42,67 } };      // 42, 67, 0, 0, 0, ...
  // index ranges can overlap, the latter override the former
  // (no compiler warning with -Wall -Wextra)
  ic = (struct icont){ .array={ [0 ... 1]=42, [1 ... 2]=67 } }; // 42, 67, 67, 0, 0, ...

  for (cnt=0; cnt<5; cnt++)
    printf("%2d %c %2d %c\n",iarray[cnt], carray[cnt],ic.array[cnt],cc.array[cnt]);

  return 0;
}

How to print full stack trace in exception?

I usually use the .ToString() method on exceptions to present the full exception information (including the inner stack trace) in text:

catch (MyCustomException ex)
{
    Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}

Sample output:

ConsoleApplication1.MyCustomException: some message .... ---> System.Exception: Oh noes!
   at ConsoleApplication1.SomeObject.OtherMethod() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\SomeObject.cs:line 24
   at ConsoleApplication1.SomeObject..ctor() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\SomeObject.cs:line 14
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at ConsoleApplication1.SomeObject..ctor() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\SomeObject.cs:line 18
   at ConsoleApplication1.Program.DoSomething() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs:line 23
   at ConsoleApplication1.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs:line 13

Is it possible to have a custom facebook like button?

It's possible with a lot of work.

Basically, you have to post likes action via the Open Graph API. Then, you can add a custom design to your like button.

But then, you''ll need to keep track yourself of the likes so a returning user will be able to unlike content he liked previously.

Plus, you'll need to ask user to log into your app and ask them the publish_action permission.

All in all, if you're doing this for an application, it may worth it. For a website where you basically want user to like articles, then this is really to much.

Also, consider that you increase your drop-off rate each time you ask user a permission via a Facebook login.

If you want to see an example, I've recently made an app using the open graph like button, just hover on some photos in the mosaique to see it

Download image with JavaScript

The problem is that jQuery doesn't trigger the native click event for <a> elements so that navigation doesn't happen (the normal behavior of an <a>), so you need to do that manually. For almost all other scenarios, the native DOM event is triggered (at least attempted to - it's in a try/catch).

To trigger it manually, try:

var a = $("<a>")
    .attr("href", "http://i.stack.imgur.com/L8rHf.png")
    .attr("download", "img.png")
    .appendTo("body");

a[0].click();

a.remove();

How to pause / sleep thread or process in Android?

You can try this one it is short

SystemClock.sleep(7000);

WARNING: Never, ever, do this on a UI thread.

Use this to sleep eg. background thread.

Full solution for your problem will be: This is available API 1

findViewById(R.id.button).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(final View button) {
                button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.avatar_dead);
                final long changeTime = 1000L;
                button.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.avatar_small);
                    }
                }, changeTime);
            }
        });

Without creating tmp Handler. Also this solution is better than @tronman because we do not retain view by Handler. Also we don't have problem with Handler created at bad thread ;)

Documentation

public static void sleep (long ms)

Added in API level 1

Waits a given number of milliseconds (of uptimeMillis) before returning. Similar to sleep(long), but does not throw InterruptedException; interrupt() events are deferred until the next interruptible operation. Does not return until at least the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed.

Parameters

ms to sleep before returning, in milliseconds of uptime.

Code for postDelayed from View class:

/**
 * <p>Causes the Runnable to be added to the message queue, to be run
 * after the specified amount of time elapses.
 * The runnable will be run on the user interface thread.</p>
 *
 * @param action The Runnable that will be executed.
 * @param delayMillis The delay (in milliseconds) until the Runnable
 *        will be executed.
 *
 * @return true if the Runnable was successfully placed in to the
 *         message queue.  Returns false on failure, usually because the
 *         looper processing the message queue is exiting.  Note that a
 *         result of true does not mean the Runnable will be processed --
 *         if the looper is quit before the delivery time of the message
 *         occurs then the message will be dropped.
 *
 * @see #post
 * @see #removeCallbacks

How to reset a timer in C#?

For System.Timers.Timer, according to MSDN documentation, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer.enabled.aspx:

If the interval is set after the Timer has started, the count is reset. For example, if you set the interval to 5 seconds and then set the Enabled property to true, the count starts at the time Enabled is set. If you reset the interval to 10 seconds when count is 3 seconds, the Elapsed event is raised for the first time 13 seconds after Enabled was set to true.

So,

    const double TIMEOUT = 5000; // milliseconds

    aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(TIMEOUT);
    aTimer.Start();     // timer start running

    :
    :

    aTimer.Interval = TIMEOUT;  // restart the timer

The instance of entity type cannot be tracked because another instance of this type with the same key is already being tracked

I faced the same problem but the issue was very silly, By mistake I have given wrong relationship I have given relationship between 2 Ids.

Constructor overloading in Java - best practice

While there are no "official guidelines" I follow the principle of KISS and DRY. Make the overloaded constructors as simple as possible, and the simplest way is that they only call this(...). That way you only need to check and handle the parameters once and only once.

public class Simple {

    public Simple() {
        this(null);
    }

    public Simple(Resource r) {
        this(r, null);
    }

    public Simple(Resource r1, Resource r2) {
        // Guard statements, initialize resources or throw exceptions if
        // the resources are wrong
        if (r1 == null) {
            r1 = new Resource();
        }
        if (r2 == null) {
            r2 = new Resource();
        }

        // do whatever with resources
    }

}

From a unit testing standpoint, it'll become easy to test the class since you can put in the resources into it. If the class has many resources (or collaborators as some OO-geeks call it), consider one of these two things:

Make a parameter class

public class SimpleParams {
    Resource r1;
    Resource r2;
    // Imagine there are setters and getters here but I'm too lazy 
    // to write it out. you can make it the parameter class 
    // "immutable" if you don't have setters and only set the 
    // resources through the SimpleParams constructor
}

The constructor in Simple only either needs to split the SimpleParams parameter:

public Simple(SimpleParams params) {
    this(params.getR1(), params.getR2());
}

…or make SimpleParams an attribute:

public Simple(Resource r1, Resource r2) {
    this(new SimpleParams(r1, r2));
}

public Simple(SimpleParams params) {
    this.params = params;
}

Make a factory class

Make a factory class that initializes the resources for you, which is favorable if initializing the resources is a bit difficult:

public interface ResourceFactory {
    public Resource createR1();
    public Resource createR2();
}

The constructor is then done in the same manner as with the parameter class:

public Simple(ResourceFactory factory) {
    this(factory.createR1(), factory.createR2());
}

Make a combination of both

Yeah... you can mix and match both ways depending on what is easier for you at the time. Parameter classes and simple factory classes are pretty much the same thing considering the Simple class that they're used the same way.

How to use Servlets and Ajax?

Ajax (also AJAX) an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server asynchronously Below is example code:

Jsp page java script function to submit data to servlet with two variable firstName and lastName:

function onChangeSubmitCallWebServiceAJAX()
    {
      createXmlHttpRequest();
      var firstName=document.getElementById("firstName").value;
      var lastName=document.getElementById("lastName").value;
      xmlHttp.open("GET","/AJAXServletCallSample/AjaxServlet?firstName="
      +firstName+"&lastName="+lastName,true)
      xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=handleStateChange;
      xmlHttp.send(null);

    }

Servlet to read data send back to jsp in xml format ( You could use text as well. Just you need to change response content to text and render data on javascript function.)

/**
 * @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
 */
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    String firstName = request.getParameter("firstName");
    String lastName = request.getParameter("lastName");

    response.setContentType("text/xml");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    response.getWriter().write("<details>");
    response.getWriter().write("<firstName>"+firstName+"</firstName>");
    response.getWriter().write("<lastName>"+lastName+"</lastName>");
    response.getWriter().write("</details>");
}

How to apply an XSLT Stylesheet in C#

Based on Daren's excellent answer, note that this code can be shortened significantly by using the appropriate XslCompiledTransform.Transform overload:

var myXslTrans = new XslCompiledTransform(); 
myXslTrans.Load("stylesheet.xsl"); 
myXslTrans.Transform("source.xml", "result.html");

(Sorry for posing this as an answer, but the code block support in comments is rather limited.)

In VB.NET, you don't even need a variable:

With New XslCompiledTransform()
    .Load("stylesheet.xsl")
    .Transform("source.xml", "result.html")
End With

Single quotes vs. double quotes in C or C++

In C, single-quotes such as 'a' indicate character constants whereas "a" is an array of characters, always terminated with the \0 character

checking memory_limit in PHP

Thank you for inspiration.

I had the same problem and instead of just copy-pasting some function from the Internet, I wrote an open source tool for it. Feel free to use it or provide feedback!

https://github.com/BrandEmbassy/php-memory

Just install it using Composer and then you get the current PHP memory limit like this:

$configuration = new \BrandEmbassy\Memory\MemoryConfiguration();
$limitProvider = new \BrandEmbassy\Memory\MemoryLimitProvider($configuration);
$limitInBytes = $memoryLimitProvider->getLimitInBytes();

How do I declare a two dimensional array?

The following are equivalent and result in a two dimensional array:

$array = array(
    array(0, 1, 2),
    array(3, 4, 5),
);

$array = array();

$array[] = array(0, 1, 2);
$array[] = array(3, 4, 5);

format a Date column in a Data Frame

This should do it (where df is your dataframe)

df$JoiningDate <- as.Date(df$JoiningDate , format = "%m/%d/%y")

df[order(df$JoiningDate ),]

window.onload vs $(document).ready()

A Windows load event fires when all the content on your page is fully loaded including the DOM (document object model) content and asynchronous JavaScript, frames and images. You can also use body onload=. Both are the same; window.onload = function(){} and <body onload="func();"> are different ways of using the same event.

jQuery $document.ready function event executes a bit earlier than window.onload and is called once the DOM(Document object model) is loaded on your page. It will not wait for the images, frames to get fully load.

Taken from the following article: how $document.ready() is different from window.onload()

How do I round to the nearest 0.5?

I had difficulty with this problem as well. I code mainly in Actionscript 3.0 which is base coding for the Adobe Flash Platform, but there are simularities in the Languages:

The solution I came up with is the following:

//Code for Rounding to the nearest 0.05
var r:Number = Math.random() * 10;  // NUMBER - Input Your Number here
var n:int = r * 10;   // INTEGER - Shift Decimal 2 places to right
var f:int = Math.round(r * 10 - n) * 5;// INTEGER - Test 1 or 0 then convert to 5
var d:Number = (n + (f / 10)) / 10; //  NUMBER - Re-assemble the number

trace("ORG No: " + r);
trace("NEW No: " + d);

Thats pretty much it. Note the use of 'Numbers' and 'Integers' and the way they are processed.

Good Luck!

What is __declspec and when do I need to use it?

I know it's been eight years but I wanted to share this piece of code found in MRuby that shows how __declspec() can bee used at the same level as the export keyword.

/** Declare a public MRuby API function. */
#if defined(MRB_BUILD_AS_DLL)
#if defined(MRB_CORE) || defined(MRB_LIB)
# define MRB_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
# define MRB_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#else
# define MRB_API extern
#endif

python pip on Windows - command 'cl.exe' failed

I had come across this problem many times. There is cl.exe but for some strange reason pip couldn't find it, even if we run the command from the bin folder where cl.exe is present. Try using conda installer, it worked fine for me.

As you can see in the following image, pip is not able to find the cl.exe. Then I tried installing using conda

And to my surprise it gets installed without an error once you have the right version of vs cpp build tools installed, i.e. v14.0 in the right directory.

How to explain callbacks in plain english? How are they different from calling one function from another function?

[edited]when we have two functions say functionA and functionB,if functionA depends on functionB.

then we call functionB as a callback function.this is widely used in Spring framework.

How to vertically align text inside a flexbox?

Instead of using align-self: center use align-items: center.

There's no need to change flex-direction or use text-align.

Here's your code, with one adjustment, to make it all work:

ul {
  height: 100%;
}

li {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  /* align-self: center;    <---- REMOVE */
  align-items: center;   /* <---- NEW    */
  background: silver;
  width: 100%;
  height: 20%; 
}

The align-self property applies to flex items. Except your li is not a flex item because its parent – the ul – does not have display: flex or display: inline-flex applied.

Therefore, the ul is not a flex container, the li is not a flex item, and align-self has no effect.

The align-items property is similar to align-self, except it applies to flex containers.

Since the li is a flex container, align-items can be used to vertically center the child elements.

* {_x000D_
  padding: 0;_x000D_
  margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_

ul {_x000D_
  height: 100%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
li {_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  justify-content: center;_x000D_
  /* align-self: center; */_x000D_
  align-items: center;_x000D_
  background: silver;_x000D_
  width: 100%;_x000D_
  height: 20%;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<ul>_x000D_
  <li>This is the text</li>_x000D_
</ul>

_x000D_

codepen demo

Technically, here's how align-items and align-self work...

The align-items property (on the container) sets the default value of align-self (on the items). Therefore, align-items: center means all flex items will be set to align-self: center.

But you can override this default by adjusting the align-self on individual items.

For example, you may want equal height columns, so the container is set to align-items: stretch. However, one item must be pinned to the top, so it is set to align-self: flex-start.

example

How is the text a flex item?

Some people may be wondering how a run of text...

<li>This is the text</li>

is a child element of the li.

The reason is that text that is not explicitly wrapped by an inline-level element is algorithmically wrapped by an inline box. This makes it an anonymous inline element and child of the parent.

From the CSS spec:

9.2.2.1 Anonymous inline boxes

Any text that is directly contained inside a block container element must be treated as an anonymous inline element.

The flexbox specification provides for similar behavior.

4. Flex Items

Each in-flow child of a flex container becomes a flex item, and each contiguous run of text that is directly contained inside a flex container is wrapped in an anonymous flex item.

Hence, the text in the li is a flex item.

Java 8 Streams FlatMap method example

Extract unique words sorted ASC from a list of phrases:

List<String> phrases = Arrays.asList(
        "sporadic perjury",
        "confounded skimming",
        "incumbent jailer",
        "confounded jailer");

List<String> uniqueWords = phrases
        .stream()
        .flatMap(phrase -> Stream.of(phrase.split("\\s+")))
        .distinct()
        .sorted()
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println("Unique words: " + uniqueWords);

... and the output:

Unique words: [confounded, incumbent, jailer, perjury, skimming, sporadic]

Changing the URL in react-router v4 without using Redirect or Link

This is how I did a similar thing. I have tiles that are thumbnails to YouTube videos. When I click the tile, it redirects me to a 'player' page that uses the 'video_id' to render the correct video to the page.

<GridTile
  key={video_id}
  title={video_title}
  containerElement={<Link to={`/player/${video_id}`}/>}
 >

ETA: Sorry, just noticed that you didn't want to use the LINK or REDIRECT components for some reason. Maybe my answer will still help in some way. ; )

C++ delete vector, objects, free memory

You can call clear, and that will destroy all the objects, but that will not free the memory. Looping through the individual elements will not help either (what action would you even propose to take on the objects?) What you can do is this:

vector<tempObject>().swap(tempVector);

That will create an empty vector with no memory allocated and swap it with tempVector, effectively deallocating the memory.

C++11 also has the function shrink_to_fit, which you could call after the call to clear(), and it would theoretically shrink the capacity to fit the size (which is now 0). This is however, a non-binding request, and your implementation is free to ignore it.

Regex: Remove lines containing "help", etc

Another way to do this in Notepad++ is all in the Find/Replace dialog and with regex:

Ctrl + h to bring up the find replace dialog.
In the Find what: text box include your regex: .*help.*\r?\n (where the \r is optional in case the file doesn't have Windows line endings).
Leave the Replace with: text box empty.
Make sure the Regular expression radio button in the Search Mode area is selected. Then click Replace All and voila! All lines containing your search term help have been removed.

How to select date from datetime column?

Though all the answers on the page will return the desired result, they all have performance issues. Never perform calculations on fields in the WHERE clause (including a DATE() calculation) as that calculation must be performed on all rows in the table.

The BETWEEN ... AND construct is inclusive for both border conditions, requiring one to specify the 23:59:59 syntax on the end date which itself has other issues (microsecond transactions, which I believe MySQL did not support in 2009 when the question was asked).

The proper way to query a MySQL timestamp field for a particular day is to check for Greater-Than-Equals against the desired date, and Less-Than for the day after, with no hour specified.

WHERE datetime>='2009-10-20' AND datetime<'2009-10-21'

This is the fastest-performing, lowest-memory, least-resource intensive method, and additionally supports all MySQL features and corner-cases such as sub-second timestamp precision. Additionally, it is future proof.

How to use bitmask?

Bit masking is "useful" to use when you want to store (and subsequently extract) different data within a single data value.

An example application I've used before is imagine you were storing colour RGB values in a 16 bit value. So something that looks like this:

RRRR RGGG GGGB BBBB

You could then use bit masking to retrieve the colour components as follows:

  const unsigned short redMask   = 0xF800;
  const unsigned short greenMask = 0x07E0;
  const unsigned short blueMask  = 0x001F;

  unsigned short lightGray = 0x7BEF;

  unsigned short redComponent   = (lightGray & redMask) >> 11;
  unsigned short greenComponent = (lightGray & greenMask) >> 5;
  unsigned short blueComponent =  (lightGray & blueMask);

SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED with Python3

I have a lib what use https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/ what use https://pypi.org/project/certifi/ but I have a custom CA included in my /etc/ssl/certs.

So I solved my problem like this:

# Your TLS certificates directory (Debian like)
export SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs
# CA bundle PATH (Debian like again)
export CA_BUNDLE_PATH="${SSL_CERT_DIR}/ca-certificates.crt"
# If you have a virtualenv:
. ./.venv/bin/activate
# Get the current certifi CA bundle
CERTFI_PATH=`python -c 'import certifi; print(certifi.where())'`

test -L $CERTFI_PATH || rm $CERTFI_PATH
test -L $CERTFI_PATH || ln -s $CA_BUNDLE_PATH $CERTFI_PATH

Et voilà !

How to search for a string inside an array of strings

In-case if someone wants a little dynamic search.

 let searchInArray=(searchQuery, array, objectKey=null)=>{

  return array.filter(d=>{
      let data =objectKey? d[objectKey] : d //Incase If It's Array Of Objects.
       let dataWords= typeof data=="string" && data?.split(" ")?.map(b=>b&&b.toLowerCase().trim()).filter(b=>b)
      let searchWords = typeof searchQuery=="string"&&searchQuery?.split(" ").map(b=>b&&b.toLowerCase().trim()).filter(b=>b)

     let matchingWords = searchWords.filter(word=>dataWords.includes(word))

    return matchingWords.length

})
    
    
}

For an Array of strings:

let arrayOfStr = [
  "Search for words",
  "inside an array",
  "dynamic searching",
  "match rate 90%"
]

searchInArray("dynamic search", arrayOfStr)

//Results: [ "Search for words", "dynamic searching" ]

For an Array of Objects:

let arrayOfObject = [
  {
    "address": "Karachi Pakistan"
  },
  {
    "address": "UK London"
  },
  {
    "address": "Pakistan Lahore"
  }
]

searchInArray("Pakistan", arrayOfObject,"address")

//Results: [ { "address": "Karachi Pakistan" }, { "address": "Pakistan Lahore" } ]

Install apps silently, with granted INSTALL_PACKAGES permission

Prerequisite:

Your APK needs to be signed by system as correctly pointed out earlier. One way to achieve that is building the AOSP image yourself and adding the source code into the build.

Code:

Once installed as a system app, you can use the package manager methods to install and uninstall an APK as following:

Install:

public boolean install(final String apkPath, final Context context) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Installing apk at " + apkPath);
    try {
        final Uri apkUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(apkPath));
        final String installerPackageName = "MyInstaller";
        context.getPackageManager().installPackage(apkUri, installObserver, PackageManager.INSTALL_REPLACE_EXISTING, installerPackageName);
        return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}

Uninstall:

public boolean uninstall(final String packageName, final Context context) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Uninstalling package " + packageName);
    try {
        context.getPackageManager().deletePackage(packageName, deleteObserver, PackageManager.DELETE_ALL_USERS);
        return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}

To have a callback once your APK is installed/uninstalled you can use this:

/**
 * Callback after a package was installed be it success or failure.
 */
private class InstallObserver implements IPackageInstallObserver {

    @Override
    public void packageInstalled(String packageName, int returnCode) throws RemoteException {

        if (packageName != null) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Successfully installed package " + packageName);
            callback.onAppInstalled(true, packageName);
        } else {
            Log.e(TAG, "Failed to install package.");
            callback.onAppInstalled(false, null);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder asBinder() {
        return null;
    }
}

/**
 * Callback after a package was deleted be it success or failure.
 */
private class DeleteObserver implements IPackageDeleteObserver {

    @Override
    public void packageDeleted(String packageName, int returnCode) throws RemoteException {
        if (packageName != null) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Successfully uninstalled package " + packageName);
            callback.onAppUninstalled(true, packageName);
        } else {
            Log.e(TAG, "Failed to uninstall package.");
            callback.onAppUninstalled(false, null);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder asBinder() {
        return null;
    }
}

/**
 * Callback to give the flow back to the calling class.
 */
public interface InstallerCallback {
    void onAppInstalled(final boolean success, final String packageName);
    void onAppUninstalled(final boolean success, final String packageName);
}

python: after installing anaconda, how to import pandas

Another alternative is to use Pycharm IDE. For each project, you can set the Project Interpreter in Settings.
For example, if anaconda is installed in /home/user/anaconda2/bin/python, you can select the Project Interpreter and set to this folder.
Since the whole project is set to Anaconda's path, you can import any module which is packaged within Anaconda.

Laravel 5: Retrieve JSON array from $request

As of Laravel 5.2+, you can fetch it directly with $request->input('item') as well.

Retrieving JSON Input Values

When sending JSON requests to your application, you may access the JSON data via the input method as long as the Content-Type header of the request is properly set to application/json. You may even use "dot" syntax to dig deeper into JSON arrays:

$name = $request->input('user.name');

https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/requests

As noted above, the content-type header must be set to application/json so the jQuery ajax call would need to include contentType: "application/json",

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/people",
    data: '[{ "name": "John", "location": "Boston" }, { "name": "Dave", "location": "Lancaster" }]',
    dataType: "json",
    contentType: "application/json",
    success:function(data) {
        $('#save_message').html(data.message);
    } 
});

Check if the scrollable element is already scrolled to the top when trying to scroll up or to the bottom when trying to scroll down and then preventing the default action to stop the entire page from moving.

var touchStartEvent;
$('.scrollable').on({
    touchstart: function(e) {
        touchStartEvent = e;
    },
    touchmove: function(e) {
        if ((e.originalEvent.pageY > touchStartEvent.originalEvent.pageY && this.scrollTop == 0) ||
            (e.originalEvent.pageY < touchStartEvent.originalEvent.pageY && this.scrollTop + this.offsetHeight >= this.scrollHeight))
            e.preventDefault();
    }
});

LD_LIBRARY_PATH vs LIBRARY_PATH

Since I link with gcc why ld is being called, as the error message suggests?

gcc calls ld internally when it is in linking mode.

How to trigger an event after using event.preventDefault()

If this example can help, adds a "custom confirm popin" on some links (I keep the code of "$.ui.Modal.confirm", it's just an exemple for the callback that executes the original action) :

//Register "custom confirm popin" on click on specific links
$(document).on(
    "click", 
    "A.confirm", 
    function(event){
        //prevent default click action
        event.preventDefault();
        //show "custom confirm popin"
        $.ui.Modal.confirm(
            //popin text
            "Do you confirm ?", 
            //action on click 'ok'
            function() {
                //Unregister handler (prevent loop)
                $(document).off("click", "A.confirm");
                //Do default click action
                $(event.target)[0].click();
            }
        );
    }
);

String concatenation: concat() vs "+" operator

The + operator can work between a string and a string, char, integer, double or float data type value. It just converts the value to its string representation before concatenation.

The concat operator can only be done on and with strings. It checks for data type compatibility and throws an error, if they don't match.

Except this, the code you provided does the same stuff.

Try-catch-finally-return clarification

If the return in the try block is reached, it transfers control to the finally block, and the function eventually returns normally (not a throw).

If an exception occurs, but then the code reaches a return from the catch block, control is transferred to the finally block and the function eventually returns normally (not a throw).

In your example, you have a return in the finally, and so regardless of what happens, the function will return 34, because finally has the final (if you will) word.

Although not covered in your example, this would be true even if you didn't have the catch and if an exception were thrown in the try block and not caught. By doing a return from the finally block, you suppress the exception entirely. Consider:

public class FinallyReturn {
  public static final void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(foo(args));
  }

  private static int foo(String[] args) {
    try {
      int n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
      return n;
    }
    finally {
      return 42;
    }
  }
}

If you run that without supplying any arguments:

$ java FinallyReturn

...the code in foo throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. But because the finally block does a return, that exception gets suppressed.

This is one reason why it's best to avoid using return in finally.

Update style of a component onScroll in React.js

How does MySQL CASE work?

I wanted a simple example of the use of case that I could play with, this doesn't even need a table. This returns odd or even depending whether seconds is odd or even

SELECT CASE MOD(SECOND(NOW()),2) WHEN 0 THEN 'odd' WHEN 1 THEN 'even' END;

C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments

Boost Preprocessor actually has this as of Boost 1.49, as BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_SIZE(...). It works up to size 64.

Under the hood, it's basically the same as Kornel Kisielewicz's answer.

while installing vc_redist.x64.exe, getting error "Failed to configure per-machine MSU package."

Posting answer to my own question as I found it here and was hidden in bottom somewhere -

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/64baed8c-b00c-40d5-b19a-99b26a11516e/visual-c-redistributable-for-visual-studio-2015-rc-fails-on-windows-server-2012?forum=vssetup

This is because the OS failed to install the required update Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu.

However, you can install it by extracting that update to a folder (e.g. XXXX), and execute following cmdlet. You can find the Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu at below.

C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\469A82B09E217DDCF849181A586DF1C97C0C5C85\packages\Patch\amd64\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu

copy this file to a folder you like, and

Create a folder XXXX in that and execute following commands from Admin command propmt

wusa.exe Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu /extract:XXXX

DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:XXXX\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.cab

vc_redist.x64.exe /repair

(last command need not be run. Just execute vc_redist.x64.exe once again)

this worked for me.

CSS /JS to prevent dragging of ghost image?

I found that for IE, you must add the draggable="false" attribute to images and anchors to prevent dragging. the CSS options work for all other browsers. I did this in jQuery:

$("a").attr('draggable', false); 
$("img").attr('draggable', false);

Display Last Saved Date on worksheet

This might be an alternative solution. Paste the following code into the new module:

Public Function ModDate()
ModDate = 
Format(FileDateTime(ThisWorkbook.FullName), "m/d/yy h:n ampm") 
End Function

Before saving your module, make sure to save your Excel file as Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook.

Paste the following code into the cell where you want to display the last modification time:

=ModDate()

I'd also like to recommend an alternative to Excel allowing you to add creation and last modification time easily. Feel free to check on RowShare and this article I wrote: https://www.rowshare.com/blog/en/2018/01/10/Displaying-Last-Modification-Time-in-Excel

How to pretty print nested dictionaries?

As others have posted, you can use recursion/dfs to print the nested dictionary data and call recursively if it is a dictionary; otherwise print the data.

def print_json(data):
    if type(data) == dict:
            for k, v in data.items():
                    print k
                    print_json(v)
    else:
            print data

Can I add a UNIQUE constraint to a PostgreSQL table, after it's already created?

Yes, you can add a UNIQUE constraint after the fact. However, if you have non-unique entries in your table Postgres will complain about it until you correct them.

How to do 3 table JOIN in UPDATE query?

Yes, you can do a 3 table join for an update statement. Here is an example :

    UPDATE customer_table c 

      JOIN  
          employee_table e
          ON c.city_id = e.city_id  
      JOIN 
          anyother_ table a
          ON a.someID = e.someID

    SET c.active = "Yes"

    WHERE c.city = "New york";

How to add List<> to a List<> in asp.net

Use .AddRange to append any Enumrable collection to the list.

Volatile Vs Atomic

The effect of the volatile keyword is approximately that each individual read or write operation on that variable is atomic.

Notably, however, an operation that requires more than one read/write -- such as i++, which is equivalent to i = i + 1, which does one read and one write -- is not atomic, since another thread may write to i between the read and the write.

The Atomic classes, like AtomicInteger and AtomicReference, provide a wider variety of operations atomically, specifically including increment for AtomicInteger.

No String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('')

Use below code snippet This worked for me

String jsonString = "{\"symbol\":\"ABCD\}";
objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_EMPTY_STRING_AS_NULL_OBJECT, true);
Trade trade = objectMapper.readValue(jsonString, new TypeReference<Symbol>() {});

Way to create multiline comments in Bash?

what's your opinion on this one?

function giveitauniquename()
{
  so this is a comment
  echo "there's no need to further escape apostrophes/etc if you are commenting your code this way"
  the drawback is it will be stored in memory as a function as long as your script runs unless you explicitly unset it
  only valid-ish bash allowed inside for instance these would not work without the "pound" signs:
  1, for #((
  2, this #wouldn't work either
  function giveitadifferentuniquename()
  {
    echo nestable
  }
}

Single controller with multiple GET methods in ASP.NET Web API

Go from this:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API Default", "api/{controller}/{id}",
            new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });

To this:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API Default", "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });

Hence, you can now specify which action (method) you want to send your HTTP request to.

posting to "http://localhost:8383/api/Command/PostCreateUser" invokes:

public bool PostCreateUser(CreateUserCommand command)
{
    //* ... *//
    return true;
}

and posting to "http://localhost:8383/api/Command/PostMakeBooking" invokes:

public bool PostMakeBooking(MakeBookingCommand command)
{
    //* ... *//
    return true;
}

I tried this in a self hosted WEB API service application and it works like a charm :)

How to run a function in jquery

You can also do this - Since you want one function to be used everywhere, you can do so by directly calling JqueryObject.function(). For example if you want to create your own function to manipulate any CSS on an element:

jQuery.fn.doSomething = function () {
   this.css("position","absolute");
   return this;
}

And the way to call it:

$("#someRandomDiv").doSomething();

Can we rely on String.isEmpty for checking null condition on a String in Java?

Use StringUtils.isEmpty instead, it will also check for null.

Examples are:

 StringUtils.isEmpty(null)      = true
 StringUtils.isEmpty("")        = true
 StringUtils.isEmpty(" ")       = false
 StringUtils.isEmpty("bob")     = false
 StringUtils.isEmpty("  bob  ") = false

Angular: date filter adds timezone, how to output UTC?

The 'Z' is what adds the timezone info. As for output UTC, that seems to be the subject of some confusion -- people seem to gravitate toward moment.js.

Borrowing from this answer, you could do something like this without moment.js:

controller

var app1 = angular.module('app1',[]);

app1.controller('ctrl',['$scope',function($scope){

  var toUTCDate = function(date){
    var _utc = new Date(date.getUTCFullYear(), date.getUTCMonth(), date.getUTCDate(),  date.getUTCHours(), date.getUTCMinutes(), date.getUTCSeconds());
    return _utc;
  };

  var millisToUTCDate = function(millis){
    return toUTCDate(new Date(millis));
  };

    $scope.toUTCDate = toUTCDate;
    $scope.millisToUTCDate = millisToUTCDate;

  }]);

template

<html ng-app="app1">

  <head>
    <script data-require="angular.js@*" data-semver="1.2.12" src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.12/angular.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div ng-controller="ctrl">
      <div>
      utc {{millisToUTCDate(1400167800) | date:'dd-M-yyyy H:mm'}}
      </div>
      <div>
      local {{1400167800 | date:'dd-M-yyyy H:mm'}}
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>

</html>

How to get Node.JS Express to listen only on localhost?

Thanks for the info, think I see the problem. This is a bug in hive-go that only shows up when you add a host. The last lines of it are:

app.listen(3001);
console.log("... port %d in %s mode", app.address().port, app.settings.env);

When you add the host on the first line, it is crashing when it calls app.address().port.

The problem is the potentially asynchronous nature of .listen(). Really it should be doing that console.log call inside a callback passed to listen. When you add the host, it tries to do a DNS lookup, which is async. So when that line tries to fetch the address, there isn't one yet because the DNS request is running, so it crashes.

Try this:

app.listen(3001, 'localhost', function() {
  console.log("... port %d in %s mode", app.address().port, app.settings.env);
});

How do I get current scope dom-element in AngularJS controller?

The better and correct solution is to have a directive. The scope is the same, whether in the controller of the directive or the main controller. Use $element to do DOM operations. The method defined in the directive controller is accessible in the main controller.

Example, finding a child element:

var app = angular.module('myapp', []);
app.directive("testDir", function () {
    function link(scope, element) { 

    }
    return {
        restrict: "AE", 
        link: link, 
        controller:function($scope,$element){
            $scope.name2 = 'this is second name';
            var barGridSection = $element.find('#barGridSection'); //helps to find the child element.
    }
    };
})

app.controller('mainController', function ($scope) {
$scope.name='this is first name'
});

Is there an operator to calculate percentage in Python?

There is no such operator in Python, but it is trivial to implement on your own. In practice in computing, percentages are not nearly as useful as a modulo, so no language that I can think of implements one.

How to send a model in jQuery $.ajax() post request to MVC controller method

This can be done by building a javascript object to match your mvc model. The names of the javascript properties have to match exactly to the mvc model or else the autobind won't happen on the post. Once you have your model on the server side you can then manipulate it and store the data to the database.

I am achieving this either by a double click event on a grid row or click event on a button of some sort.

@model TestProject.Models.TestModel

<script>

function testButton_Click(){
  var javaModel ={
  ModelId: '@Model.TestId',
  CreatedDate: '@Model.CreatedDate.ToShortDateString()',
  TestDescription: '@Model.TestDescription',
  //Here I am using a Kendo editor and I want to bind the text value to my javascript
  //object. This may be different for you depending on what controls you use.
  TestStatus: ($('#StatusTextBox'))[0].value, 
  TestType: '@Model.TestType'
  }

  //Now I did for some reason have some trouble passing the ENUM id of a Kendo ComboBox 
    //selected value. This puzzled me due to the conversion to Json object in the Ajax call. 
  //By parsing the Type to an int this worked.

  javaModel.TestType = parseInt(javaModel.TestType);

  $.ajax({
      //This is where you want to post to.
      url:'@Url.Action("TestModelUpdate","TestController")', 
      async:true,
      type:"POST",
      contentType: 'application/json',
      dataType:"json",
      data: JSON.stringify(javaModel)
  });
}
</script>


//This is your controller action on the server, and it will autobind your values 
//to the newTestModel on post.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult TestModelUpdate(TestModel newTestModel)
{
 TestModel.UpdateTestModel(newTestModel);
 return //do some return action;
}

Convert integer into its character equivalent, where 0 => a, 1 => b, etc

Javascript's String.fromCharCode(code1, code2, ..., codeN) takes an infinite number of arguments and returns a string of letters whose corresponding ASCII values are code1, code2, ... codeN. Since 97 is 'a' in ASCII, we can adjust for your indexing by adding 97 to your index.

function indexToChar(i) {
  return String.fromCharCode(i+97); //97 in ASCII is 'a', so i=0 returns 'a', 
                                    // i=1 returns 'b', etc
}
