Visual Studio Code pylint: Unable to import 'protorpc'

I've not played around with all possibilities, but at least I had the impression that this could be a python version related issue. No idea why, I just trusted my gut.

Thus I just changed the pythonPath to python3 (default: python):

"python.pythonPath": "python3"

I reinstalled the dependencies (including pylint!!!) with

pip3 install <package> --user

... and after restarting vs code, everything looked fine.

A non-blocking read on a subprocess.PIPE in Python

Try wexpect, which is the windows alternative of pexpect.

import wexpect

p = wexpect.spawn('myprogram.exe')
p.stdout.readline('.')               // regex pattern of any character
output_str = p.after()

How can I send an xml body using requests library?

Just send xml bytes directly:

#!/usr/bin/env python2
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests

xml = """<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<a>?</a>"""
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/xml'} # set what your server accepts
print requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', data=xml, headers=headers).text

Output

{
  "origin": "x.x.x.x",
  "files": {},
  "form": {},
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/post",
  "args": {},
  "headers": {
    "Content-Length": "48",
    "Accept-Encoding": "identity, deflate, compress, gzip",
    "Connection": "keep-alive",
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "User-Agent": "python-requests/0.13.9 CPython/2.7.3 Linux/3.2.0-30-generic",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",

Tools for making latex tables in R

... and Trick #3 Multiline entries in an Xtable

Generate some more data

moredata<-data.frame(Nominal=c(1:5), n=rep(5,5), 
        MeanLinBias=signif(rnorm(5, mean=0, sd=10), digits=4), 
        LinCI=paste("(",signif(rnorm(5,mean=-2, sd=5), digits=4),
                ", ", signif(rnorm(5, mean=2, sd=5), digits=4),")",sep=""),
        MeanQuadBias=signif(rnorm(5, mean=0, sd=10), digits=4), 
        QuadCI=paste("(",signif(rnorm(5,mean=-2, sd=5), digits=4),
                ", ", signif(rnorm(5, mean=2, sd=5), digits=4),")",sep=""))

names(moredata)<-c("Nominal", "n","Linear Model \nBias","Linear \nCI", "Quadratic Model \nBias", "Quadratic \nCI")

Now produce our xtable, using the sanitize function to replace column names with the correct Latex newline commands (including double backslashes so R is happy)

<<label=multilinetable, results=tex, echo=FALSE>>=
foo<-xtable(moredata)
align(foo) <- c( rep('c',3),'p{1.8in}','p{2in}','p{1.8in}','p{2in}' )
print(foo, 
            floating=FALSE, 
            include.rownames=FALSE,
            sanitize.text.function = function(str) {
                str<-gsub("\n","\\\\", str, fixed=TRUE)

                return(str)
            }, 
            sanitize.colnames.function = function(str) {
                str<-c("Nominal", "n","\\centering Linear Model\\\\ \\% Bias","\\centering Linear \\\\ 95\\%CI", "\\centering Quadratic Model\\\\ \\%Bias", "\\centering Quadratic \\\\ 95\\%CI \\tabularnewline")
                return(str)
            })
@  

(although this isn't perfect, as we need \tabularnewline so the table is formatted correctly, and Xtable still puts in a final \, so we end up with a blank line below the table header.)

How do I use modulus for float/double?

You probably had a typo when you first ran it.

evaluating 0.5 % 0.3 returns '0.2' (A double) as expected.

Mindprod has a good overview of how modulus works in Java.

ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host '' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

For those who are able to access cpanel, there is a simpler way getting around it.

  1. log in cpanel => "Remote MySQL" under DATABASES section:

  2. Add the IPs / hostname which you are accessing from

  3. done!!!

add new row in gridview after binding C#, ASP.net

you can try the following code

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       DataTable dt = new DataTable();

       if (dt.Columns.Count == 0)
       {
           dt.Columns.Add("PayScale", typeof(string));
           dt.Columns.Add("IncrementAmt", typeof(string));
           dt.Columns.Add("Period", typeof(string));
       }

       DataRow NewRow = dt.NewRow();
       NewRow[0] = TextBox1.Text;
       NewRow[1] = TextBox2.Text;
       dt.Rows.Add(NewRow); 
       GridView1.DataSource = dt;
       GridViewl.DataBind();
   }

here payscale,incrementamt and period are database field name.

Convert LocalDateTime to LocalDateTime in UTC

Question?

Looking at the answers and the question, it seems the question has been modified significantly. So to answer the current question:

Convert LocalDateTime to LocalDateTime in UTC.

Timezone?

LocalDateTime does not store any information about the time-zone, it just basically holds the values of year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and smaller units. So an important question is: What is the timezone of the original LocalDateTime? It might as well be UTC already, therefore no conversion has to be made.

System Default Timezone

Considering that you asked the question anyway, you probably meant that the original time is in your system-default timezone and you want to convert it to UTC. Because usually a LocalDateTime object is created by using LocalDateTime.now() which returns the current time in the system-default timezone. In this case, the conversion would be the following:

LocalDateTime convertToUtc(LocalDateTime time) {
    return time.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).withZoneSameInstant(ZoneOffset.UTC).toLocalDateTime();
}

An example of the conversion process:

2019-02-25 11:39 // [time] original LocalDateTime without a timezone
2019-02-25 11:39 GMT+1 // [atZone] converted to ZonedDateTime (system timezone is Madrid)
2019-02-25 10:39 GMT // [withZoneSameInstant] converted to UTC, still as ZonedDateTime
2019-02-25 10:39 // [toLocalDateTime] losing the timezone information

Explicit Timezone

In any other case, when you explicitly specify the timezone of the time to convert, the conversion would be the following:

LocalDateTime convertToUtc(LocalDateTime time, ZoneId zone) {
    return time.atZone(zone).withZoneSameInstant(ZoneOffset.UTC).toLocalDateTime();
}

An example of the conversion process:

2019-02-25 11:39 // [time] original LocalDateTime without a timezone
2019-02-25 11:39 GMT+2 // [atZone] converted to ZonedDateTime (zone is Europe/Tallinn)
2019-02-25 09:39 GMT // [withZoneSameInstant] converted to UTC, still as ZonedDateTime
2019-02-25 09:39 // [toLocalDateTime] losing the timezone information

The atZone() Method

The result of the atZone() method depends on the time passed as its argument, because it considers all the rules of the timezone, including Daylight Saving Time (DST). In the examples, the time was 25th February, in Europe this means winter time (no DST).

If we were to use a different date, let's say 25th August from last year, the result would be different, considering DST:

2018-08-25 11:39 // [time] original LocalDateTime without a timezone
2018-08-25 11:39 GMT+3 // [atZone] converted to ZonedDateTime (zone is Europe/Tallinn)
2018-08-25 08:39 GMT // [withZoneSameInstant] converted to UTC, still as ZonedDateTime
2018-08-25 08:39 // [toLocalDateTime] losing the timezone information

The GMT time does not change. Therefore the offsets in the other timezones are adjusted. In this example, the summer time of Estonia is GMT+3, and winter time GMT+2.

Also, if you specify a time within the transition of changing clocks back one hour. E.g. October 28th, 2018 03:30 for Estonia, this can mean two different times:

2018-10-28 03:30 GMT+3 // summer time [UTC 2018-10-28 00:30]
2018-10-28 04:00 GMT+3 // clocks are turned back 1 hour [UTC 2018-10-28 01:00]
2018-10-28 03:00 GMT+2 // same as above [UTC 2018-10-28 01:00]
2018-10-28 03:30 GMT+2 // winter time [UTC 2018-10-28 01:30]

Without specifying the offset manually (GMT+2 or GMT+3), the time 03:30 for the timezone Europe/Tallinn can mean two different UTC times, and two different offsets.

Summary

As you can see, the end result depends on the timezone of the time passed as an argument. Because the timezone cannot be extracted from the LocalDateTime object, you have to know yourself which timezone it is coming from in order to convert it to UTC.

How to avoid the "divide by zero" error in SQL?

This is how I fixed it:

IIF(ValueA != 0, Total / ValueA, 0)

It can be wrapped in an update:

SET Pct = IIF(ValueA != 0, Total / ValueA, 0)

Or in a select:

SELECT IIF(ValueA != 0, Total / ValueA, 0) AS Pct FROM Tablename;

Thoughts?

Formatting code in Notepad++

NPP+ v7.9.1 with the latest version of XMLTools can't format exported VBA code from Office 2016/2019 Word. It puts all the code on the same line since it strips the CRLF out. Moreover, when you enable "auto validation" it errors out on the first VBA line that is, Attribute VB_Name = "The VBA module name". So any of the xml tool validations apparently can't be used for VBA validation.

How to get a matplotlib Axes instance to plot to?

You can either

fig, ax = plt.subplots()  #create figure and axes
candlestick(ax, quotes, ...)

or

candlestick(plt.gca(), quotes) #get the axis when calling the function

The first gives you more flexibility. The second is much easier if candlestick is the only thing you want to plot

What does <> mean?

Yes, it's "not equal".

Fastest way to find second (third...) highest/lowest value in vector or column

dplyr has the function nth, where the first argument is the vector and the second is which place you want. This goes for repeating elements as well. For example:

x = c(1,2, 8, 16, 17, 20, 1, 20)

Finding the second largest value:

 nth(unique(x),length(unique(x))-1)

[1] 17

How to Pass data from child to parent component Angular

In order to send data from child component create property decorated with output() in child component and in the parent listen to the created event. Emit this event with new values in the payload when ever it needed.

@Output() public eventName:EventEmitter = new EventEmitter();

to emit this event:

this.eventName.emit(payloadDataObject);

Open text file and program shortcut in a Windows batch file

You can also do:

start notepad "C:\Users\kemp\INSTALL\Text1.txt"

The C:\Users\kemp\Install\ is your PATH. The Text1.txt is the FILE.

jQuery check if attr = value

jQuery's attr method returns the value of the attribute:

The .attr() method gets the attribute value for only the first element in the matched set. To get the value for each element individually, use a looping construct such as jQuery's .each() or .map() method.

All you need is:

$('html').attr('lang') == 'fr-FR'

However, you might want to do a case-insensitive match:

$('html').attr('lang').toLowerCase() === 'fr-fr'

jQuery's val method returns the value of a form element.

The .val() method is primarily used to get the values of form elements such as input, select and textarea. In the case of <select multiple="multiple"> elements, the .val() method returns an array containing each selected option; if no option is selected, it returns null.

MySQL ORDER BY rand(), name ASC

or a join to itself:

SELECT * FROM users u1
INNER JOIN (
    SELECT id FROM users ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20
) u2 USING(id)
ORDER BY u1.name

how to use font awesome in own css?

you can do so by using the :before or :after pseudo. read more about it here http://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/

change your code to this

.lb-prev:hover {
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100);
  opacity: 1;
   text-decoration: none;
}

.lb-prev:before {
    font-family: FontAwesome;
    content: "\f053";
    font-size: 30px;
}

do the same for the other icons. you might want to adjust the color and height of the icons too. anyway here is the fiddle hope this helps

Finding last occurrence of substring in string, replacing that

I would use a regex:

import re
new_list = [re.sub(r"\.(?=[^.]*$)", r". - ", s) for s in old_list]

Stack Memory vs Heap Memory

Stack memory is specifically the range of memory that is accessible via the Stack register of the CPU. The Stack was used as a way to implement the "Jump-Subroutine"-"Return" code pattern in assembly language, and also as a means to implement hardware-level interrupt handling. For instance, during an interrupt, the Stack was used to store various CPU registers, including Status (which indicates the results of an operation) and Program Counter (where was the CPU in the program when the interrupt occurred).

Stack memory is very much the consequence of usual CPU design. The speed of its allocation/deallocation is fast because it is strictly a last-in/first-out design. It is a simple matter of a move operation and a decrement/increment operation on the Stack register.

Heap memory was simply the memory that was left over after the program was loaded and the Stack memory was allocated. It may (or may not) include global variable space (it's a matter of convention).

Modern pre-emptive multitasking OS's with virtual memory and memory-mapped devices make the actual situation more complicated, but that's Stack vs Heap in a nutshell.

preg_match(); - Unknown modifier '+'

This happened to me because I put a variable in the regex and sometimes its string value included a slash. Solution: preg_quote.

Difference between / and /* in servlet mapping url pattern

The essential difference between /* and / is that a servlet with mapping /* will be selected before any servlet with an extension mapping (like *.html), while a servlet with mapping / will be selected only after extension mappings are considered (and will be used for any request which doesn't match anything else---it is the "default servlet").

In particular, a /* mapping will always be selected before a / mapping. Having either prevents any requests from reaching the container's own default servlet.

Either will be selected only after servlet mappings which are exact matches (like /foo/bar) and those which are path mappings longer than /* (like /foo/*). Note that the empty string mapping is an exact match for the context root (http://host:port/context/).

See Chapter 12 of the Java Servlet Specification, available in version 3.1 at http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/servlet-3_1-fr-eval-spec/index.html.

Create a new line in Java's FileWriter

Try System.getProperty( "line.separator" )

   writer.write(System.getProperty( "line.separator" ));

The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character

var spl = item.Split('/')[1];
var format =spl.Split(';')[0];           
stringconvert=item.Replace($"data:image/{format};base64,",String.Empty);

str_replace with array

Easy and better than str_replace:

<?php
$arr = array(
    "http://" => "http://www.",
    "w" => "W",
    "d" => "D");

    $word = "http://desiweb.ir";
    echo strtr($word,$arr);
?>

Parsing JSON using Json.net

I don't know about JSON.NET, but it works fine with JavaScriptSerializer from System.Web.Extensions.dll (.NET 3.5 SP1):

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
public class NameTypePair
{
    public string OBJECT_NAME { get; set; }
    public string OBJECT_TYPE { get; set; }
}
public enum PositionType { none, point }
public class Ref
{
    public int id { get; set; }
}
public class SubObject
{
    public NameTypePair attributes { get; set; }
    public Position position { get; set; }
}
public class Position
{
    public int x { get; set; }
    public int y { get; set; }
}
public class Foo
{
    public Foo() { objects = new List<SubObject>(); }
    public string displayFieldName { get; set; }
    public NameTypePair fieldAliases { get; set; }
    public PositionType positionType { get; set; }
    public Ref reference { get; set; }
    public List<SubObject> objects { get; set; }
}
static class Program
{

    const string json = @"{
  ""displayFieldName"" : ""OBJECT_NAME"", 
  ""fieldAliases"" : {
    ""OBJECT_NAME"" : ""OBJECT_NAME"", 
    ""OBJECT_TYPE"" : ""OBJECT_TYPE""
  }, 
  ""positionType"" : ""point"", 
  ""reference"" : {
    ""id"" : 1111
  }, 
  ""objects"" : [
    {
      ""attributes"" : {
        ""OBJECT_NAME"" : ""test name"", 
        ""OBJECT_TYPE"" : ""test type""
      }, 
      ""position"" : 
      {
        ""x"" : 5, 
        ""y"" : 7
      }
    }
  ]
}";


    static void Main()
    {
        JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        Foo foo = ser.Deserialize<Foo>(json);
    }


}

Edit:

Json.NET works using the same JSON and classes.

Foo foo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Foo>(json);

Best way to do a split pane in HTML

I wanted a vanilla, lightweight (jQuery UI Layout weighs in at 185 KB), no dependency option (all existing libraries require jQuery), so I wrote Split.js.

It weights less than 2 KB and does not require any special markup. It supports older browsers back to Internet Explorer 9 (or Internet Explorer 8 with polyfills). For modern browsers, you can use it with Flexbox and grid layouts.

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version

This seems like a protocol version mismatch, this exception normally happens when there is a mismatch between SSL protocol version used by the client and the server. your clients should use a proctocol version supported by the server.

Input type for HTML form for integer

No, it is not about the data type of input. It specifies the type of control to create:

type = text|password|checkbox|radio|submit|reset|file|hidden|image|button [CI] This attribute specifies the type of control to create. The default value for this attribute is "text".

I have filtered my Excel data and now I want to number the rows. How do I do that?

Python Turtle, draw text with on screen with larger font

You can also use "bold" and "italic" instead of "normal" here. "Verdana" can be used for fontname..

But another question is this: How do you set the color of the text You write?

Answer: You use the turtle.color() method or turtle.fillcolor(), like this:

turtle.fillcolor("blue")

or just:

turtle.color("orange")

These calls must come before the turtle.write() command..

Getting the client IP address: REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, what else could be useful?

If you're behind a proxy, you should use X-Forwarded-For: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For

It is an IETF draft standard with wide support:

The X-Forwarded-For field is supported by most proxy servers, including Squid, Apache mod_proxy, Pound, HAProxy, Varnish cache, IronPort Web Security Appliance, AVANU WebMux, ArrayNetworks, Radware's AppDirector and Alteon ADC, ADC-VX, and ADC-VA, F5 Big-IP, Blue Coat ProxySG, Cisco Cache Engine, McAfee Web Gateway, Phion Airlock, Finjan's Vital Security, NetApp NetCache, jetNEXUS, Crescendo Networks' Maestro, Web Adjuster and Websense Web Security Gateway.

invalid use of non-static member function

The simplest fix is to make the comparator function be static:

static int comparator (const Bar & first, const Bar & second);
^^^^^^

When invoking it in Count, its name will be Foo::comparator.

The way you have it now, it does not make sense to be a non-static member function because it does not use any member variables of Foo.

Another option is to make it a non-member function, especially if it makes sense that this comparator might be used by other code besides just Foo.

Make var_dump look pretty

I don't seem to have enough rep to close this as a duplicate, but it is one if someone else can do that. I posted the same thing over at A more pretty/informative Var_dump alternative in PHP? but for the sake of saving time, I'll copy/paste it here too:

I had to add another answer here because I didn't really want to go through the steps in the other solutions. It is extremely simple and requires no extensions, includes etc and is what I prefer. It's very easy and very fast.

First just json_encode the variable in question:

echo json_encode($theResult);

Copy the result you get into the JSON Editor at http://jsoneditoronline.org/ just copy it into the left side pane, click Copy > and it pretty prints the JSON in a really nice tree format.

To each their own, but hopefully this helps some others have one more nice option! :)

Checking to see if a DateTime variable has had a value assigned

I'd say the default value is always new DateTime(). So we can write

DateTime datetime;

if (datetime == new DateTime())
{
    //unassigned

Create a circular button in BS3

If you have downloaded these files locally then you can change following classes in bootstrap-social.css, just added border-radius: 50%;

.btn-social-icon.btn-lg{height:45px;width:45px;
   padding-left:0;padding-right:0; border-radius: 50%; }

And here is teh HTML

<a class="btn btn-social-icon btn-lg btn-twitter" >
   <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i>
</a>
<a class=" btn btn-social-icon btn-lg btn-facebook">
   <i class="fa fa-facebook sbg-facebook"></i>
</a>
<a class="btn btn-social-icon btn-lg btn-google-plus">
   <i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i>
</a>

It works smooth for me.

How to convert CLOB to VARCHAR2 inside oracle pl/sql

Quote (read [here][1])-

When you use CAST to convert a CLOB value into a character datatype or a BLOB value into the RAW datatype, the database implicitly converts the LOB value to character or raw data and then explicitly casts the resulting value into the target datatype.

So, something like this should work-

report := CAST(report_clob AS VARCHAR2(100));

Or better yet use it as CAST(report_clob AS VARCHAR2(100)) where ever you are trying to use the BLOB as VARCHAR [1]: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions016.htm

How to generate a range of numbers between two numbers?

I made the below function after reading this thread. Simple and fast:

go
create function numbers(@begin int, @len int)
returns table as return
with d as (
    select 1 v from (values(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) d(v)
)
select top (@len) @begin -1 + row_number() over(order by (select null)) v
from d d0
cross join d d1
cross join d d2
cross join d d3
cross join d d4
cross join d d5
cross join d d6
cross join d d7
go

select * from numbers(987654321,500000)

What is the ellipsis (...) for in this method signature?

It means that the method accepts a variable number of arguments ("varargs") of type JID. Within the method, recipientJids is presented.

This is handy for cases where you've a method that can optionally handle more than one argument in a natural way, and allows you to write calls which can pass one, two or three parameters to the same method, without having the ugliness of creating an array on the fly.

It also enables idioms such as sprintf from C; see String.format(), for example.

Tensorflow installation error: not a supported wheel on this platform

This may mean that you are installing the wrong pre-build binary

since my CPU on Ubuntu 18.04 my download url was: https://github.com/lakshayg/tensorflow-build/releases/download/tf1.12.0-ubuntu18.04-py2-py3/tensorflow-1.12.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl

as it can be found on this github page: https://github.com/lakshayg/tensorflow-build

pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade <LOCAL PATH / BINARY-URL>

How to fetch Java version using single line command in Linux

I'd suggest using grep -i version to make sure you get the right line containing the version string. If you have the environment variable JAVA_OPTIONS set, openjdk will print the java options before printing the version information. This version returns 1.6, 1.7 etc.

java -version 2>&1 | grep -i version | cut -d'"' -f2 | cut -d'.' -f1-2

How add spaces between Slick carousel item

With the help of pseudo classes removed margins from first and last child, and used adaptive height true in the script. Try this fiddle

 $('.single-item').slick({
        initialSlide: 3,
        infinite: false,
        adaptiveHeight: true
    });

Pass element ID to Javascript function

The problem for me was as simple as just not knowing Javascript well. I was trying to pass the name of the id using double quotes, when I should have been using single. And it worked fine.

This worked:

validateSelectizeDropdown('#PartCondition')

This did not:

validateSelectizeDropdown("#PartCondition")

And the function:

    function validateSelectizeDropdown(name) {
    if ($(name).val() === "") {
         //do something
    }
}

How do I test a single file using Jest?

Since at least 2019:

npm test -- SomeTestFileToRun

In 2015:

In order to run a specific test, you'll need to use the jest command. npm test will not work. To access jest directly on the command line, install it via npm i -g jest-cli or yarn global add jest-cli.

Then simply run your specific test with jest bar.spec.js.

Note: You don't have to enter the full path to your test file. The argument is interpreted as a regular expression. Any part of the full path that uniquely identifies a file suffices.

HTML5 Canvas 100% Width Height of Viewport?

(Expanding upon ????'s answer)

Style the canvas to fill the body. When rendering to the canvas take its size into account.

http://jsfiddle.net/mqFdk/356/

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>aj</title>
</head>
<body>

    <canvas id="c"></canvas>

</body>
</html>

CSS:

body { 
       margin: 0; 
       padding: 0
     }
#c { 
     position: absolute; 
     width: 100%; 
     height: 100%; 
     overflow: hidden
   }

Javascript:

function redraw() {
    var cc = c.getContext("2d");
    c.width = c.clientWidth;
    c.height = c.clientHeight;
    cc.scale(c.width, c.height);

    // Draw a circle filling the canvas.
    cc.beginPath();
    cc.arc(0.5, 0.5, .5, 0, 2*Math.PI);
    cc.fill();
}

// update on any window size change.
window.addEventListener("resize", redraw);

// first draw
redraw();

Loading an image to a <img> from <input file>

Andy E is correct that there is no HTML-based way to do this*; but if you are willing to use Flash, you can do it. The following works reliably on systems that have Flash installed. If your app needs to work on iPhone, then of course you'll need a fallback HTML-based solution.

* (Update 4/22/2013: HTML does now support this, in HTML5. See the other answers.)

Flash uploading also has other advantages -- Flash gives you the ability to show a progress bar as the upload of a large file progresses. (I'm pretty sure that's how Gmail does it, by using Flash behind the scenes, although I may be wrong about that.)

Here is a sample Flex 4 app that allows the user to pick a file, and then displays it:

Check last modified date of file in C#

You simply want the File.GetLastWriteTime static method.

Example:

var lastModified = System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime("C:\foo.bar");

Console.WriteLine(lastModified.ToString("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss"));

Note however that in the rare case the last-modified time is not updated by the system when writing to the file (this can happen intentionally as an optimisation for high-frequency writing, e.g. logging, or as a bug), then this approach will fail, and you will instead need to subscribe to file write notifications from the system, constantly listening.

How to auto adjust table td width from the content

create file import.bat and put this lines in it:

SQLPLUS SYSTEM/systempassword@ORA_alias @"crate_drop_user.SQL"
IMP SYSTEM/systempassword@ORA_alias FILE=user.DMP FROMUSER=user TOUSER=user GRANTS=Y log =user.log

Be carefull if you will import from one user to another. For example if you have user named user1 and you will import to user2 you may lost all grants , so you have to recreate it.

Good luck, Ivan

What is sys.maxint in Python 3?

The sys.maxint constant was removed, since there is no longer a limit to the value of integers. However, sys.maxsize can be used as an integer larger than any practical list or string index. It conforms to the implementation’s “natural” integer size and is typically the same as sys.maxint in previous releases on the same platform (assuming the same build options).

What you want to search for may stay either in DOM or in memory. If it is not in DOM, well, it may be in memory, because you have just see it in your computer screen anyway. The text you search for may be loaded either from scripts in the initial DOM or from response in the later request.

Limit the length of a string with AngularJS

I created this directive that easily does that, truncates the string to a specified limit and adds a "show more/less" toggle. You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/doukasd/AngularJS-Components

it can be used like this:

<p data-dd-collapse-text="100">{{veryLongText}}</p>

Here's the directive:

// a directive to auto-collapse long text
app.directive('ddCollapseText', ['$compile', function($compile) {
return {
    restrict: 'A',
    replace: true,
    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {

        // start collapsed
        scope.collapsed = false;

        // create the function to toggle the collapse
        scope.toggle = function() {
            scope.collapsed = !scope.collapsed;
        };

        // get the value of the dd-collapse-text attribute
        attrs.$observe('ddCollapseText', function(maxLength) {
            // get the contents of the element
            var text = element.text();

            if (text.length > maxLength) {
                // split the text in two parts, the first always showing
                var firstPart = String(text).substring(0, maxLength);
                var secondPart = String(text).substring(maxLength, text.length);

                // create some new html elements to hold the separate info
                var firstSpan = $compile('<span>' + firstPart + '</span>')(scope);
                var secondSpan = $compile('<span ng-if="collapsed">' + secondPart + '</span>')(scope);
                var moreIndicatorSpan = $compile('<span ng-if="!collapsed">...</span>')(scope);
                var toggleButton = $compile('<span class="collapse-text-toggle" ng-click="toggle()">{{collapsed ? "less" : "more"}}</span>')(scope);

                // remove the current contents of the element
                // and add the new ones we created
                element.empty();
                element.append(firstSpan);
                element.append(secondSpan);
                element.append(moreIndicatorSpan);
                element.append(toggleButton);
            }
        });
    }
};
}]);

And some CSS to go with it:

.collapse-text-toggle {
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #666666;
cursor: pointer;
}
.collapse-text-toggle:hover {
color: #222222;
}
.collapse-text-toggle:before {
content: '\00a0(';
}
.collapse-text-toggle:after {
content: ')';
}

How can I make XSLT work in chrome?

After 8 years the situation is changed a bit.

I'm unable to open a new session of Google Chrome without other parameters and allow 'file:' schema.

On macOS I do:

open -n -a "Google Chrome" --args \
    --disable-web-security \               # This disable all CORS and other security checks
    --user-data-dir=$HOME/fakeChromeDir    # This let you to force open a new Google Chrome session

Without this arguments I'm unable to test the XSL stylesheet in local.

How do I remove an item from a stl vector with a certain value?

Two ways are there by which you can use to erase an item particularly. lets take a vector

std :: vector < int > v;
v.push_back(10);
v.push_back(20);
v.push_back(30);
v.push_back(40);
v.push_back(40);
v.push_back(50);

1) Non efficient way : Although it seems to be quite efficient but it's not because erase function delets the elements and shifts all the elements towards left by 1. so its complexity will be O(n^2)

std :: vector < int > :: iterator itr = v.begin();
int value = 40;
while ( itr != v.end() )
{
   if(*itr == value)
   { 
      v.erase(itr);
   }
   else
       ++itr;
}

2) Efficient way ( RECOMMENDED ) : It is also known as ERASE - REMOVE idioms .

  • std::remove transforms the given range into a range with all the elements that compare not equal to given element shifted to the start of the container.
  • So, actually don't remove the matched elements. It just shifted the non matched to starting and gives an iterator to new valid end. It just requires O(n) complexity.

output of the remove algorithm is :

10 20 30 50 40 50 

as return type of remove is iterator to the new end of that range.

template <class ForwardIterator, class T>
  ForwardIterator remove (ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T& val);

Now use vector’s erase function to delete elements from the new end to old end of the vector. It requires O(1) time.

v.erase ( std :: remove (v.begin() , v.end() , element ) , v.end () );

so this method work in O(n)

Long.valueOf(String s) - obviously due care must be taken to protect against non-numbers if that is possible in your code.

Is there a way to get version from package.json in nodejs code?

For those who look for a safe client-side solution that also works on server-side, there is genversion. It is a command-line tool that reads the version from the nearest package.json and generates an importable CommonJS module file that exports the version. Disclaimer: I'm a maintainer.

$ genversion lib/version.js

I acknowledge the client-side safety was not OP's primary intention, but as discussed in answers by Mark Wallace and aug, it is highly relevant and also the reason I found this Q&A.

Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]

Update: This will create a second context same as in applicationContext.xml

or you can add this code snippet to your web.xml

SELECT * FROM user_objects WHERE object_type='TRIGGER';

You can also use this to query views, indexes etc etc

Evaluate a string with a switch in C++

You can't. Full stop.

switch is only for integral types, if you want to branch depending on a string you need to use if/else.

How to load local file in sc.textFile, instead of HDFS

I have a file called NewsArticle.txt on my Desktop.

In Spark, I typed:

val textFile= sc.textFile(“file:///C:/Users/582767/Desktop/NewsArticle.txt”)

I needed to change all the \ to / character for the filepath.

To test if it worked, I typed:

textFile.foreach(println)

I'm running Windows 7 and I don't have Hadoop installed.

Format a BigDecimal as String with max 2 decimal digits, removing 0 on decimal part

I used DecimalFormat for formatting the BigDecimal instead of formatting the String, seems no problems with it.

The code is something like this:

bd = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_DOWN);

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();

df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);

df.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);

df.setGroupingUsed(false);

String result = df.format(bd);

Stash only one file out of multiple files that have changed with Git?

Just in case you actually mean discard changes whenever you use git stash (and don't really use git stash to stash it temporarily), in that case you can use

git checkout -- <file>

[NOTE]

That git stash is just a quicker and simple alternative to branching and doing stuff.

How can I check if a JSON is empty in NodeJS?

If you have compatibility with Object.keys, and node does have compatibility, you should use that for sure.

However, if you do not have compatibility, and for any reason using a loop function is out of the question - like me, I used the following solution:

JSON.stringify(obj) === '{}'

Consider this solution a 'last resort' use only if must.

See in the comments "there are many ways in which this solution is not ideal".

I had a last resort scenario, and it worked perfectly.

How do I make jQuery wait for an Ajax call to finish before it returns?

Instead of setting async to false which is usually bad design, you may want to consider blocking the UI while the operation is pending.

This can be nicely achieved with jQuery promises as follows:

// same as $.ajax but settings can have a maskUI property
// if settings.maskUI==true, the UI will be blocked while ajax in progress
// if settings.maskUI is other than true, it's value will be used as the color value while bloking (i.e settings.maskUI='rgba(176,176,176,0.7)'
// in addition an hourglass is displayed while ajax in progress
function ajaxMaskUI(settings) {
    function maskPageOn(color) { // color can be ie. 'rgba(176,176,176,0.7)' or 'transparent'
        var div = $('#maskPageDiv');
        if (div.length === 0) {
            $(document.body).append('<div id="maskPageDiv" style="position:fixed;width:100%;height:100%;left:0;top:0;display:none"></div>'); // create it
            div = $('#maskPageDiv');
        }
        if (div.length !== 0) {
            div[0].style.zIndex = 2147483647;
            div[0].style.backgroundColor=color;
            div[0].style.display = 'inline';
        }
    }
    function maskPageOff() {
        var div = $('#maskPageDiv');
        if (div.length !== 0) {
            div[0].style.display = 'none';
            div[0].style.zIndex = 'auto';
        }
    }
    function hourglassOn() {
        if ($('style:contains("html.hourGlass")').length < 1) $('<style>').text('html.hourGlass, html.hourGlass * { cursor: wait !important; }').appendTo('head');
        $('html').addClass('hourGlass');
    }
    function hourglassOff() {
        $('html').removeClass('hourGlass');
    }

    if (settings.maskUI===true) settings.maskUI='transparent';

    if (!!settings.maskUI) {
        maskPageOn(settings.maskUI);
        hourglassOn();
    }

    var dfd = new $.Deferred();
    $.ajax(settings)
        .fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            if (!!settings.maskUI) {
                maskPageOff();
                hourglassOff();
            }
            dfd.reject(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown);
        }).done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
            if (!!settings.maskUI) {
                maskPageOff();
                hourglassOff();
            }
            dfd.resolve(data, textStatus, jqXHR);
        });

    return dfd.promise();
}

with this you can now do:

ajaxMaskUI({
    url: url,
    maskUI: true // or try for example 'rgba(176,176,176,0.7)'
}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    console.log('error ' + textStatus);
}).done(function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    console.log('success ' + JSON.stringify(data));
});

And the UI will block until the ajax command returns

Including all the jars in a directory within the Java classpath

All the above solutions work great if you develop and run the Java application outside any IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans.

If you are on Windows 7 and used Eclipse IDE for Development in Java, you might run into issues if using Command Prompt to run the class files built inside Eclipse.

E.g. Your source code in Eclipse is having the following package hierarchy: edu.sjsu.myapp.Main.java

You have json.jar as an external dependency for the Main.java

When you try running Main.java from within Eclipse, it will run without any issues.

But when you try running this using Command Prompt after compiling Main.java in Eclipse, it will shoot some weird errors saying "ClassNotDef Error blah blah".

I assume you are in the working directory of your source code !!

Use the following syntax to run it from command prompt:

  1. javac -cp ".;json.jar" Main.java

  2. java -cp ".;json.jar" edu.sjsu.myapp.Main

    [Don't miss the . above]

This is because you have placed the Main.java inside the package edu.sjsu.myapp and java.exe will look for the exact pattern.

Hope it helps !!

how to write value into cell with vba code without auto type conversion?

This is probably too late, but I had a similar problem with dates that I wanted entered into cells from a text variable. Inevitably, it converted my variable text value to a date. What I finally had to do was concatentate a ' to the string variable and then put it in the cell like this:

prvt_rng_WrkSht.Cells(prvt_rng_WrkSht.Rows.Count, cnst_int_Col_Start_Date).Formula = "'" & _ 
    param_cls_shift.Start_Date (string property of my class) 

Check if PHP-page is accessed from an iOS device

It's work for Iphone

<?php
  $browser = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
  if ($browser == true){
    $browser = 'iphone';
  }
?>

ie8 var w= window.open() - "Message: Invalid argument."

I discovered the same problem and after reading the first answer that supposed the problem is caused by the window name, changed it : first to '_blank', which worked fine (both compatibility and regular view), then to the previous value, only minus the space in the value :) - also worked. IMO, the problem (or part of it) is caused by IE being unable to use a normal string value as the wname. Hope this helps if anybody runs into the same problem.

Recover sa password

best answer written by Dmitri Korotkevitch:

Speaking of the installation, SQL Server 2008 allows you to set authentication mode (Windows or SQL Server) during the installation process. You will be forced to choose the strong password for sa user in the case if you choose sql server authentication mode during setup.

If you install SQL Server with Windows Authentication mode and want to change it, you need to do 2 different things:

  1. Go to SQL Server Properties/Security tab and change the mode to SQL Server authentication mode

  2. Go to security/logins, open SA login properties

a. Uncheck "Enforce password policy" and "Enforce password expiration" check box there if you decide to use weak password

b. Assign password to SA user

c. Open "Status" tab and enable login.

I don't need to mention that every action from above would violate security best practices that recommend to use windows authentication mode, have sa login disabled and use strong passwords especially for sa login.

How do I read a specified line in a text file?

.NET 4.0 edit

Since .NET 4.0, it is possible to access a single line of a file directly. For instance, to access line 15:

string line = File.ReadLines(FileName).Skip(14).Take(1).First();

This will return only the line required


Since you can't predict the location (can you?) of the i-th line in the file, you'll have to read all previous lines too. If the line number is small, this can be more efficient than the ReadAllLines method.

string GetLine(string fileName, int line)
{
   using (var sr = new StreamReader(fileName)) {
       for (int i = 1; i < line; i++)
          sr.ReadLine();
       return sr.ReadLine();
   }
}

HTML combo box with option to type an entry

Given that the HTML datalist tag is still not fully supported, an alternate approach that I used is the Dojo Toolkit ComboBox. It was easier to implement and better documented than other options I've explored. It also plays nicely with existing frameworks. In my case, I added this combobox to an existing website that's based on Codeigniter and Bootstrap with no problems You just need to be sure to apply the Dojo theme (e.g. class="claro") to the combo's parent element instead of the body tag to avoid styling conflicts.

First, include the CSS for one of the Dojo themes (such as 'Claro'). It's important that the CSS file is included prior to the JS files below.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.9.6/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css" />

Next, include jQuery and Dojo Toolkit via CDN

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.10.3/dojo/dojo.js"></script>

Next, you can just follow Dojo's sample code or use the sample below to get a working combobox.

<body>
    <!-- Dojo Dijit ComboBox with 'Claro' theme -->
    <div class="claro"><input id="item_name_1" class=""/></div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            //In this example, dataStore is simply an array of JSON-encoded id/name pairs
            dataStore = [{"id":"43","name":"Domain Name Renewal"},{"id":"42","name":"Hosting Renewal"}];

            require(
                [ "dojo/store/Memory", "dijit/form/ComboBox", "dojo/domReady!"], 
                function (Memory, ComboBox) {
                    var stateStore = new Memory({
                        data: dataStore
                    });

                    var combo = new ComboBox({
                        id: "item_name_1",
                        name: "desc_1",
                        store: stateStore,
                        searchAttr: "name"},                        
                        "item_name_1"
                        ).startup();

                });

        });

    </script>
</body>

Unstage a deleted file in git

The answers to your two questions are related. I'll start with the second:

Once you have staged a file (often with git add, though some other commands implicitly stage the changes as well, like git rm) you can back out that change with git reset -- <file>.

In your case you must have used git rm to remove the file, which is equivalent to simply removing it with rm and then staging that change. If you first unstage it with git reset -- <file> you can then recover it with git checkout -- <file>.

Cross domain POST request is not sending cookie Ajax Jquery

You cannot set or read cookies on CORS requests through JavaScript. Although CORS allows cross-origin requests, the cookies are still subject to the browser's same-origin policy, which means only pages from the same origin can read/write the cookie. withCredentials only means that any cookies set by the remote host are sent to that remote host. You will have to set the cookie from the remote server by using the Set-Cookie header.

Laravel 4: how to run a raw SQL?

Laravel raw sql – Insert query:

lets create a get link to insert data which is accessible through url . so our link name is ‘insertintodb’ and inside that function we use db class . db class helps us to interact with database . we us db class static function insert . Inside insert function we will write our PDO query to insert data in database . in below query we will insert ‘ my title ‘ and ‘my content’ as data in posts table .

put below code in your web.php file inside routes directory :

Route::get('/insertintodb',function(){
DB::insert('insert into posts(title,content) values (?,?)',['my title','my content']);
});

Now fire above insert query from browser link below :

localhost/yourprojectname/insertintodb

You can see output of above insert query by going into your database table .you will find a record with id 1 .

Laravel raw sql – Read query :

Now , lets create a get link to read data , which is accessible through url . so our link name is ‘readfromdb’. we us db class static function read . Inside read function we will write our PDO query to read data from database . in below query we will read data of id ‘1’ from posts table .

put below code in your web.php file inside routes directory :

Route::get('/readfromdb',function() {
    $result =  DB::select('select * from posts where id = ?', [1]);
    var_dump($result);
});

now fire above read query from browser link below :

localhost/yourprojectname/readfromdb

getting file size in javascript

If it's not a local application powered by JavaScript with full access permissions, you can't get the size of any file just from the path name. Web pages running javascript do not have access to the local filesystem for security reasons.

You can use a graceful degrading file uploader like SWFUpload if you want to show a progress bar. HTML5 also has the File API, but that is not widely supported just yet. If a user selects the file for an input[type=file] element, you can get details about the file from the files collection:

alert(myInp.files[0].size);

Path.Combine absolute with relative path strings

Call Path.GetFullPath on the combined path http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.path.getfullpath.aspx

> Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(@"C:\blah\",@"..\bling"))
C:\bling

(I agree Path.Combine ought to do this by itself)

TCP: can two different sockets share a port?

A server socket listens on a single port. All established client connections on that server are associated with that same listening port on the server side of the connection. An established connection is uniquely identified by the combination of client-side and server-side IP/Port pairs. Multiple connections on the same server can share the same server-side IP/Port pair as long as they are associated with different client-side IP/Port pairs, and the server would be able to handle as many clients as available system resources allow it to.

On the client-side, it is common practice for new outbound connections to use a random client-side port, in which case it is possible to run out of available ports if you make a lot of connections in a short amount of time.

Error: The 'brew link' step did not complete successfully

You probably already installed an older version of node.js using a different method, so you need to manually remove the files that are getting in brew's way.

Do brew link -n node and manually delete those conflicting files and directories, then try brew link node again.

Scheduling Python Script to run every hour accurately

One option is to write a C/C++ wrapper that executes the python script on a regular basis. Your end-user would run the C/C++ executable, which would remain running in the background, and periodically execute the python script. This may not be the best solution, and may not work if you don't know C/C++ or want to keep this 100% python. But it does seem like the most user-friendly approach, since people are used to clicking on executables. All of this assumes that python is installed on your end user's computer.

Another option is to use cron job/Task Scheduler but to put it in the installer as a script so your end user doesn't have to do it.

How do I remove objects from a JavaScript associative array?

For "Arrays":

If you know the index:

array.splice(index, 1);

If you know the value:

function removeItem(array, value) {
    var index = array.indexOf(value);
    if (index > -1) {
        array.splice(index, 1);
    }
    return array;
}

The most upvoted answer for delete works well in case of objects but not for the real arrays. If I use delete it removes elements from loops but keeps the element as empty and length of array wont change. This may be a problem in some scenarios.

For example, if I do myArray.toString() on myArray after removal via delete, it creates an empty entry, i.e. ,,.

Get all child elements

Yes, you can achieve it by find_elements_by_css_selector("*") or find_elements_by_xpath(".//*").

However, this doesn't sound like a valid use case to find all children of an element. It is an expensive operation to get all direct/indirect children. Please further explain what you are trying to do. There should be a better way.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.stackoverflow.com")

header = driver.find_element_by_id("header")

# start from your target element, here for example, "header"
all_children_by_css = header.find_elements_by_css_selector("*")
all_children_by_xpath = header.find_elements_by_xpath(".//*")

print 'len(all_children_by_css): ' + str(len(all_children_by_css))
print 'len(all_children_by_xpath): ' + str(len(all_children_by_xpath))

How to download a file using a Java REST service and a data stream

Refer this:

// Get your file stream from wherever.
InputStream myStream = someClass.returnFile();

// Set the content type and attachment header.
response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename=myfilename.txt");
response.setContentType("txt/plain");

// Copy the stream to the response's output stream.
IOUtils.copy(myStream, response.getOutputStream());
response.flushBuffer();
}

How to create and add users to a group in Jenkins for authentication?

You could use Role Strategy plugin for that purpose. It works like a charm, just setup some roles and assign them. Even on project-specific level.

Renaming files using node.js

You'll need to use fs for that: http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

And in particular the fs.rename() function:

var fs = require('fs');
fs.rename('/path/to/Afghanistan.png', '/path/to/AF.png', function(err) {
    if ( err ) console.log('ERROR: ' + err);
});

Put that in a loop over your freshly-read JSON object's keys and values, and you've got a batch renaming script.

fs.readFile('/path/to/countries.json', function(error, data) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
        return;
    }

    var obj = JSON.parse(data);
    for(var p in obj) {
        fs.rename('/path/to/' + obj[p] + '.png', '/path/to/' + p + '.png', function(err) {
            if ( err ) console.log('ERROR: ' + err);
        });
    }
});

(This assumes here that your .json file is trustworthy and that it's safe to use its keys and values directly in filenames. If that's not the case, be sure to escape those properly!)

Relative imports in Python 3

Put this inside your package's __init__.py file:

# For relative imports to work in Python 3.6
import os, sys; sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))

Assuming your package is like this:

+-- project
¦   +-- package
¦   ¦   +-- __init__.py
¦   ¦   +-- module1.py
¦   ¦   +-- module2.py
¦   +-- setup.py

Now use regular imports in you package, like:

# in module2.py
from module1 import class1

This works in both python 2 and 3.

What is the most efficient way to store a list in the Django models?

Storing a list of strings in Django model:

class Bar(models.Model):
    foo = models.TextField(blank=True)

    def set_list(self, element):
        if self.foo:
            self.foo = self.foo + "," + element
        else:
            self.foo = element

    def get_list(self):
        if self.foo:
            return self.foo.split(",")
        else:
            None

and you can call it like this:

bars = Bar()
bars.set_list("str1")
bars.set_list("str2")
list = bars.get_list()
if list is not None:
    for bar in list:
        print bar
else:
    print "List is empty."

How to process SIGTERM signal gracefully?

Found easiest way for me. Here an example with fork for clarity that this way is useful for flow control.

import signal
import time
import sys
import os

def handle_exit(sig, frame):
    raise(SystemExit)

def main():
    time.sleep(120)

signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handle_exit)

p = os.fork()
if p == 0:
    main()
    os._exit()

try:
    os.waitpid(p, 0)
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
    print('exit handled')
    os.kill(p, 15)
    os.waitpid(p, 0)

static const vs #define

Personally, I loathe the preprocessor, so I'd always go with const.

The main advantage to a #define is that it requires no memory to store in your program, as it is really just replacing some text with a literal value. It also has the advantage that it has no type, so it can be used for any integer value without generating warnings.

Advantages of "const"s are that they can be scoped, and they can be used in situations where a pointer to an object needs to be passed.

I don't know exactly what you are getting at with the "static" part though. If you are declaring globally, I'd put it in an anonymous namespace instead of using static. For example

namespace {
   unsigned const seconds_per_minute = 60;
};

int main (int argc; char *argv[]) {
...
}

Update Tkinter Label from variable

This is the easiest one , Just define a Function and then a Tkinter Label & Button . Pressing the Button changes the text in the label. The difference that you would when defining the Label is that use the text variable instead of text. Code is tested and working.

    from tkinter import *
    master = Tk()
    
    def change_text():
        my_var.set("Second click")
    
    my_var = StringVar()
    my_var.set("First click")
    label = Label(mas,textvariable=my_var,fg="red")
    button = Button(mas,text="Submit",command = change_text)
    button.pack()
    label.pack()
    
    master.mainloop()

Efficiently checking if arbitrary object is NaN in Python / numpy / pandas?

I found this brilliant solution here, it uses the simple logic NAN!=NAN. https://www.codespeedy.com/check-if-a-given-string-is-nan-in-python/

Using above example you can simply do the following. This should work on different type of objects as it simply utilize the fact that NAN is not equal to NAN.

 import numpy as np

Add string in a certain position in Python

I have made a very useful method to add a string in a certain position in Python:

def insertChar(mystring, position, chartoinsert ):
    longi = len(mystring)
    mystring   =  mystring[:position] + chartoinsert + mystring[position:] 
    return mystring  

for example:

a = "Jorgesys was here!"

def insertChar(mystring, position, chartoinsert ):
    longi = len(mystring)
    mystring   =  mystring[:position] + chartoinsert + mystring[position:] 
    return mystring   

#Inserting some characters with a defined position:    
print(insertChar(a,0, '-'))    
print(insertChar(a,9, '@'))    
print(insertChar(a,14, '%'))   

we will have as an output:

-Jorgesys was here!
Jorgesys @was here!
Jorgesys was h%ere!

Adding an image to a project in Visual Studio

You need to turn on Show All Files option on solution pane toolbar and include this file manually.

how to format date in Component of angular 5

There is equally formatDate

const format = 'dd/MM/yyyy';
const myDate = '2019-06-29';
const locale = 'en-US';
const formattedDate = formatDate(myDate, format, locale);

According to the API it takes as param either a date string, a Date object, or a timestamp.

Gotcha: Out of the box, only en-US is supported.

If you need to add another locale, you need to add it and register it in you app.module, for example for Spanish:

import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeES from "@angular/common/locales/es";
registerLocaleData(localeES, "es");

Don't forget to add corresponding import:

import { formatDate } from "@angular/common";

Why use 'virtual' for class properties in Entity Framework model definitions?

We can't talk about virtual members without referring to polymorphism. In fact, a function, property, indexer or event in a base class marked as virtual will allow override from a derived class.

By default, members of a class are non-virtual and cannot be marked as that if static, abstract, private, or override modifiers.

Example Let's consider the ToString() method in System.Object. Because this method is a member of System.Object it's inherited in all classes and will provide the ToString() methods to all of them.

namespace VirtualMembersArticle
{
    public class Company
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Company company = new Company() { Name = "Microsoft" };
            Console.WriteLine($"{company.ToString()}");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }   
    }
}

The output of the previous code is:

VirtualMembersArticle.Company

Let's consider that we want to change the standard behavior of the ToString() methods inherited from System.Object in our Company class. To achieve this goal it's enough to use the override keyword to declare another implementation of that method.

public class Company
{
    ...
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"Name: {this.Name}";
    }         
}

Now, when a virtual method is invoked, the run-time will check for an overriding member in its derived class and will call it if present. The output of our application will then be:

Name: Microsoft

In fact, if you check the System.Object class you will find that the method is marked as virtual.

namespace System
{
    [NullableContextAttribute(2)]
    public class Object
    {
        ....
        public virtual string? ToString();
        ....
    }
}

angularjs to output plain text instead of html

from https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element

angular.element

wraps a raw DOM element or HTML string as a jQuery element (If jQuery is not available, angular.element delegates to Angular's built-in subset of jQuery, called "jQuery lite" or "jqLite.")

So you simply could do:

angular.module('myApp.filters', []).
  filter('htmlToPlaintext', function() {
    return function(text) {
      return angular.element(text).text();
    }
  }
);

Usage:

<div>{{myText | htmlToPlaintext}}</div>

calculating number of days between 2 columns of dates in data frame

Without your seeing your data (you can use the output of dput(head(survey)) to show us) this is a shot in the dark:

survey <- data.frame(date=c("2012/07/26","2012/07/25"),tx_start=c("2012/01/01","2012/01/01"))

survey$date_diff <- as.Date(as.character(survey$date), format="%Y/%m/%d")-
                  as.Date(as.character(survey$tx_start), format="%Y/%m/%d")
survey
       date   tx_start date_diff
1 2012/07/26 2012/01/01  207 days
2 2012/07/25 2012/01/01  206 days

How can I create a dynamic button click event on a dynamic button?

Button button = new Button();
button.Click += (s,e) => { your code; };
//button.Click += new EventHandler(button_Click);
container.Controls.Add(button);

//protected void button_Click (object sender, EventArgs e) { }

Create timestamp variable in bash script

In order to get the current timestamp and not the time of when a fixed variable is defined, the trick is to use a function and not a variable:

#!/bin/bash

# Define a timestamp function
timestamp() {
  date +"%T" # current time
}

# do something...
timestamp # print timestamp
# do something else...
timestamp # print another timestamp
# continue...

If you don't like the format given by the %T specifier you can combine the other time conversion specifiers accepted by date. For GNU date, you can find the complete list of these specifiers in the official documentation here: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Time-conversion-specifiers.html#Time-conversion-specifiers

How to retrieve a single file from a specific revision in Git?

You need to provide the full path to the file:

Pass variables by reference in JavaScript

I know exactly what you mean. The same thing in Swift will be no problem. The bottom line is use let, not var.

The fact that primitives are passed by value, but the fact that the value of var i at the point of iteration is not copied into the anonymous function is quite surprising to say the least.

for (let i = 0; i < boxArray.length; i++) {
  boxArray[i].onclick = function() { console.log(i) }; // Correctly prints the index
}

T-SQL: Deleting all duplicate rows but keeping one

Here's my twist on it, with a runnable example. Note this will only work in the situation where Id is unique, and you have duplicate values in other columns.

DECLARE @SampleData AS TABLE (Id int, Duplicate varchar(20))

INSERT INTO @SampleData
SELECT 1, 'ABC' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'ABC' UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'LMN' UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'XYZ' UNION ALL
SELECT 5, 'XYZ'

DELETE FROM @SampleData WHERE Id IN (
    SELECT Id FROM (
        SELECT 
            Id
            ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Duplicate] ORDER BY Id) AS [ItemNumber]
            -- Change the partition columns to include the ones that make the row distinct
        FROM 
            @SampleData
    ) a WHERE ItemNumber > 1 -- Keep only the first unique item
)

SELECT * FROM @SampleData

And the results:

Id          Duplicate
----------- ---------
1           ABC
3           LMN
4           XYZ

Not sure why that's what I thought of first... definitely not the simplest way to go but it works.

What is an .inc and why use it?

This is a convention that programmer usually use to identify different file names for include files. So that if the other developers is working on their code, he can easily identify why this file is there and what is purpose of this file by just seeing the name of the file.

Apply style to only first level of td tags

Just make a selector for tables inside a MyClass.

.MyClass td {border: solid 1px red;}
.MyClass table td {border: none}

(To generically apply to all inner tables, you could also do table table td.)

Change line width of lines in matplotlib pyplot legend

@ImportanceOfBeingErnest 's answer is good if you only want to change the linewidth inside the legend box. But I think it is a bit more complex since you have to copy the handles before changing legend linewidth. Besides, it can not change the legend label fontsize. The following two methods can not only change the linewidth but also the legend label text font size in a more concise way.

Method 1

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# make some data
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi)

y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# plot sin(x) and cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax  = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y1, c='b', label='y1')
ax.plot(x, y2, c='r', label='y2')

leg = plt.legend()
# get the individual lines inside legend and set line width
for line in leg.get_lines():
    line.set_linewidth(4)
# get label texts inside legend and set font size
for text in leg.get_texts():
    text.set_fontsize('x-large')

plt.savefig('leg_example')
plt.show()

Method 2

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# make some data
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi)

y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# plot sin(x) and cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax  = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y1, c='b', label='y1')
ax.plot(x, y2, c='r', label='y2')

leg = plt.legend()
# get the lines and texts inside legend box
leg_lines = leg.get_lines()
leg_texts = leg.get_texts()
# bulk-set the properties of all lines and texts
plt.setp(leg_lines, linewidth=4)
plt.setp(leg_texts, fontsize='x-large')
plt.savefig('leg_example')
plt.show()

The above two methods produce the same output image:

How to disable compiler optimizations in gcc?

For gcc you want to omit any -O1 -O2 or -O3 options passed to the compiler or if you already have them you can append the -O0 option to turn it off again. It might also help you to add -g for debug so that you can see the c source and disassembled machine code in your debugger.

Count unique values with pandas per groups

IIUC you want the number of different ID for every domain, then you can try this:

output = df.drop_duplicates()
output.groupby('domain').size()

output:

    domain
facebook.com    1
google.com      1
twitter.com     2
vk.com          3
dtype: int64

You could also use value_counts, which is slightly less efficient.But the best is Jezrael's answer using nunique:

%timeit df.drop_duplicates().groupby('domain').size()
1000 loops, best of 3: 939 µs per loop
%timeit df.drop_duplicates().domain.value_counts()
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.1 ms per loop
%timeit df.groupby('domain')['ID'].nunique()
1000 loops, best of 3: 440 µs per loop

Javascript communication between browser tabs/windows

There is also an experimental technology called Broadcast Channel API that is designed specifically for communication between different browser contexts with same origin. You can post messages to and recieve messages from another browser context without having a reference to it:

var channel = new BroadcastChannel("foo");
channel.onmessage = function( e ) {
  // Process messages from other contexts.
};
// Send message to other listening contexts.
channel.postMessage({ value: 42, type: "bar"});

Obviously this is experiental technology and is not supported accross all browsers yet.

How to scroll to an element inside a div?

We can resolve this problem without using JQuery and other libs.

I wrote following code for this purpose:

You have similar structure ->

<div class="parent">
  <div class="child-one">

  </div>
  <div class="child-two">

  </div>
</div>

JS:

scrollToElement() {
  var parentElement = document.querySelector('.parent');
  var childElement = document.querySelector('.child-two');

  parentElement.scrollTop = childElement.offsetTop - parentElement.offsetTop;
}

We can easily rewrite this method for passing parent and child as an arguments

jQuery to remove an option from drop down list, given option's text/value

I know it is very late but following approach can also be used:

<select id="type" name="type" >
    <option value="Permanent" id="permanent">I am here to stay.</option>
    <option value="toremove" id="toremove">Remove me!</option>
    <option value="Other" id="other">Other</option>
</select>

and if I have to remove second option (id=toremove), the script would look like

$('#toremove').hide();

How to recover the deleted files using "rm -R" command in linux server?

Short answer: You can't. rm removes files blindly, with no concept of 'trash'.

Some Unix and Linux systems try to limit its destructive ability by aliasing it to rm -i by default, but not all do.

Long answer: Depending on your filesystem, disk activity, and how long ago the deletion occured, you may be able to recover some or all of what you deleted. If you're using an EXT3 or EXT4 formatted drive, you can check out extundelete.

In the future, use rm with caution. Either create a del alias that provides interactivity, or use a file manager.

How can I convince IE to simply display application/json rather than offer to download it?

I found the answer.

You can configure IE8 to display application/json in the browser window by updating the registry. There's no need for an external tool. I haven't tested this broadly, but it works with IE8 on Vista.

To use this, remember, all the usual caveats about updating the registry apply. Stop IE. Then, cut and paste the following into a file, by the name of json-ie.reg.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;
; Tell IE to open JSON documents in the browser.  
; 25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13 is the CLSID for the "Browse in place" .
;  

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/json]
"CLSID"="{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
"Encoding"=hex:08,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\text/json]
"CLSID"="{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
"Encoding"=hex:08,00,00,00

Then double-click the .reg file. Restart IE. The new behavior you get when tickling a URL that returns a doc with Content-Type: application/json or Content-Type: text/json is like this:

alt text

What it does, why it works:

The 25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13 is the CLSID for the "Browse in place" action. Basically this registry entry is telling IE that for docs that have a mime type of application/json, just view it in place. This won't affect any application/json documents downloaded via <script> tags, or via XHR, and so on.

The CLSID and Encoding keys get the same values used for image/gif, image/jpeg, and text/html.

This hint came from this site, and from Microsoft's article Handling MIME Types in Internet Explorer .


In FF, you don't need an external add-on either. You can just use the view-source: pseudo-protocol. Enter a URL like this into the address bar:

view-source:http://myserver/MyUrl/That/emits/Application/json

This pseudo-protocol used to be supported in IE, also, until WinXP-sp2, when Microsoft disabled it for security reasons.

Execution time of C program

You functionally want this:

#include <sys/time.h>

struct timeval  tv1, tv2;
gettimeofday(&tv1, NULL);
/* stuff to do! */
gettimeofday(&tv2, NULL);

printf ("Total time = %f seconds\n",
         (double) (tv2.tv_usec - tv1.tv_usec) / 1000000 +
         (double) (tv2.tv_sec - tv1.tv_sec));

Note that this measures in microseconds, not just seconds.

Make child visible outside an overflow:hidden parent

This is an old question but encountered it myself.

I have semi-solutions that work situational for the former question("Children visible in overflow:hidden parent")

If the parent div does not need to be position:relative, simply set the children styles to visibility:visible.

If the parent div does need to be position:relative, the only way possible I found to show the children was position:fixed. This worked for me in my situation luckily enough but I would imagine it wouldn't work in others.

Here is a crappy example just post into a html file to view.

<div style="background: #ff00ff; overflow: hidden; width: 500px; height: 500px; position: relative;">
    <div style="background: #ff0000;position: fixed; top: 10px; left: 10px;">asd
        <div style="background: #00ffff; width: 200px; overflow: visible; position: absolute; visibility: visible; clear:both; height: 1000px; top: 100px; left: 10px;"> a</div>
    </div>

Where do I find the bashrc file on Mac?

Bootstrap 4 - Responsive cards in card-columns

If you are using Sass:

$card-column-sizes: (
    xs: 2,
    sm: 3,
    md: 4,
    lg: 5,
);

@each $breakpoint-size, $column-count in $card-column-sizes {
    @include media-breakpoint-up($breakpoint-size) {
      .card-columns {
        column-count: $column-count;
        column-gap: 1.25rem;

        .card {
          display: inline-block;
          width: 100%; // Don't let them exceed the column width
        }
      }
    }
}

Which MIME type to use for a binary file that's specific to my program?

I'd recommend application/octet-stream as RFC2046 says "The "octet-stream" subtype is used to indicate that a body contains arbitrary binary data" and "The recommended action for an implementation that receives an "application/octet-stream" entity is to simply offer to put the data in a file[...]".

I think that way you will get better handling from arbitrary programs, that might barf when encountering your unknown mime type.

How can I split a shell command over multiple lines when using an IF statement?

For Windows/WSL/Cygwin etc users:

Make sure that your line endings are standard Unix line feeds, i.e. \n (LF) only.

Using Windows line endings \r\n (CRLF) line endings will break the command line break.


This is because having \ at the end of a line with Windows line ending translates to \ \r \n.
As Mark correctly explains above:

The line-continuation will fail if you have whitespace after the backslash and before the newline.

This includes not just space () or tabs (\t) but also the carriage return (\r).

How to generate UL Li list from string array using jquery?

Populating VBA dynamic arrays

In addition to Cody's useful comments it is worth noting that at times you won't know how big your array should be. The two options in this situation are

  1. Creating an array big enough to handle anything you think will be thrown at it
  2. Sensible use of Redim Preserve

The code below provides an example of a routine that will dimension myArray in line with the lngSize variable, then add additional elements (equal to the initial array size) by use of a Mod test whenever the upper bound is about to be exceeded

Option Base 1

Sub ArraySample()
    Dim myArray() As String
    Dim lngCnt As Long
    Dim lngSize As Long

    lngSize = 10
    ReDim myArray(1 To lngSize)

    For lngCnt = 1 To lngSize*5
        If lngCnt Mod lngSize = 0 Then ReDim Preserve myArray(1 To UBound(myArray) + lngSize)
        myArray(lngCnt) = "I am record number " & lngCnt
    Next
End Sub

Is there an easy way to reload css without reloading the page?

Possibly not applicable for your situation, but here's the jQuery function I use for reloading external stylesheets:

 * to each stylesheet URL.
 */
function reloadStylesheets() {
    var queryString = '?reload=' + new Date().getTime();
    $('link[rel="stylesheet"]').each(function () {
        this.href = this.href.replace(/\?.*|$/, queryString);
    });
}

How do I add FTP support to Eclipse?

I'm not sure if this works for you, but when I do small solo PHP projects with Eclipse, the first thing I set up is an Ant script for deploying the project to a remote testing environment. I code away locally, and whenever I want to test it, I just hit the shortcut which updates the remote site.

Eclipse has good Ant support out of the box, and the scripts aren't hard to make.

Changing user agent on urllib2.urlopen

html = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()

SQL server stored procedure return a table

The Status Value being returned by a Stored Procedure can only be an INT datatype. You cannot return other datatypes in the RETURN statement.

From Lesson 2: Designing Stored Procedures:

Every stored procedure can return an integer value known as the execution status value or return code.

If you still want a table returned from the SP, you'll either have to work the record set returned from a SELECT within the SP or tie into an OUTPUT variable that passes an XML datatype.

How can you have SharePoint Link Lists default to opening in a new window?

Under the Links Tab ==> Edit the URL Item ==> Under the URL (Type the Web address)- format the value as follows:

Example: if the URL = http://www.abc.com ==> then suffix the value with ==>

  • #openinnewwindow/,'" target="http://www.abc.com'

SO, the final value should read as ==> http://www.abc.com#openinnewwindow/,'" target="http://www.abc.com'

DONE ==> this will open the URL in New Window

C++ for each, pulling from vector elements

The for each syntax is supported as an extension to native c++ in Visual Studio.

The example provided in msdn

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() 
{
  int total = 0;

  vector<int> v(6);
  v[0] = 10; v[1] = 20; v[2] = 30;
  v[3] = 40; v[4] = 50; v[5] = 60;

  for each(int i in v) {
    total += i;
  }

  cout << total << endl;
}

(works in VS2013) is not portable/cross platform but gives you an idea of how to use for each.

The standard alternatives (provided in the rest of the answers) apply everywhere. And it would be best to use those.

What is the difference between call and apply?

K. Scott Allen has a nice writeup on the matter.

Basically, they differ on how they handle function arguments.

The apply() method is identical to call(), except apply() requires an array as the second parameter. The array represents the arguments for the target method."

So:

// assuming you have f
function f(message) { ... }
f.call(receiver, "test");
f.apply(receiver, ["test"]);

What is the meaning of "$" sign in JavaScript

From another answer:

A little history

Remember, there is nothing inherently special about $. It is a variable name just like any other. In earlier days, people used to write code using document.getElementById. Because JavaScript is case-sensitive, it was normal to make a mistake while writing document.getElementById. Should I capital 'b' of 'by'? Should I capital 'i' of Id? You get the drift. Because functions are first-class citizens in JavaScript, you can always do this:

var $ = document.getElementById; //freedom from document.getElementById!

When Prototype library arrived, they named their function, which gets the DOM elements, as '$'. Almost all the JavaScript libraries copied this idea. Prototype also introduced a $$ function to select elements using CSS selector.

jQuery also adapted $ function but expanded to make it accept all kinds of 'selectors' to get the elements you want. Now, if you are already using Prototype in your project and wanted to include jQuery, you will be in problem as '$' could either refer to Prototype's implementation OR jQuery's implementation. That's why jQuery has the option of noConflict so that you can include jQuery in your project which uses Prototype and slowly migrate your code. I think this was a brilliant move on John's part! :)

Separators for Navigation

Simply use the separator image as a background image on the li.

To get it to only appear in between list items, position the image to the left of the li, but not on the first one.

For example:

#nav li + li {
    background:url('seperator.gif') no-repeat top left;
    padding-left: 10px
}

This CSS adds the image to every list item that follows another list item - in other words all of them but the first.

NB. Be aware the adjacent selector (li + li) doesn't work in IE6, so you will have to just add the background image to the conventional li (with a conditional stylesheet) and perhaps apply a negative margin to one of the edges.

What is the difference between state and props in React?

The state is the origin of truth, where your data lives. You can say the state manifests itself via props.

Providing props to components is what keeps your UI in sync with your data. A component is really just a function that returns markup.

Given the same props (data for it to display) it will always produce the same markup.

So the props are like the pipelines that carry the data from the origin to the functional components.

How to use (install) dblink in PostgreSQL?

# or even faster copy paste answer if you have sudo on the host 
sudo su - postgres  -c "psql template1 -c 'CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS \"dblink\";'"

Wait some seconds without blocking UI execution

This is a good case for using another thread:

// Call some method
this.Method();

Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
    Thread.Sleep(20000);

    // Do things here.
    // NOTE: You may need to invoke this to your main thread depending on what you're doing
});

The above code expects .NET 4.0 or above, otherwise try:

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(delegate
{
    Thread.Sleep(20000);

    // Do things here
}));

How to do fade-in and fade-out with JavaScript and CSS

Here is a simplified running example of Seattle Ninja's solution.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var slideSource = document.getElementById('slideSource');_x000D_
_x000D_
document.getElementById('handle').onclick = function () {_x000D_
  slideSource.classList.toggle('fade');_x000D_
}
_x000D_
#slideSource {_x000D_
  opacity: 1;_x000D_
  transition: opacity 1s; _x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#slideSource.fade {_x000D_
  opacity: 0;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<button id="handle">Fade</button> _x000D_
<div id="slideSource">Whatever you want here - images or text</div>
_x000D_

How to redirect the output of the time command to a file in Linux?

#!/bin/bash

set -e

_onexit() {
    [[ $TMPD ]] && rm -rf "$TMPD"
}

TMPD="$(mktemp -d)"
trap _onexit EXIT

_time_2() {
    "$@" 2>&3
}

_time_1() {
    time _time_2 "$@"
}

_time() {
    declare time_label="$1"
    shift
    exec 3>&2
    _time_1 "$@" 2>"$TMPD/timing.$time_label"
    echo "time[$time_label]"
    cat "$TMPD/timing.$time_label"
}

_time a _do_something
_time b _do_another_thing
_time c _finish_up

This has the benefit of not spawning sub shells, and the final pipeline has it's stderr restored to the real stderr.

Bootstrap trying to load map file. How to disable it? Do I need to do it?

Deleting this line fixes it, but the problem is the boostrap files are in bower_components and not checked into source control.

So, every developer on the team will get the css file with the map reference when they pull the repo and do bower install (which is part of using a new repo).

The file should not have the reference to a map that is not there.

Send POST data via raw json with postman

I was facing the same problem, following code worked for me:

$params = (array) json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), TRUE);
print_r($params);

vba error handling in loop

Actualy the Gabin Smith's answer needs to be changed a bit to work, because you can't resume with without an error.

Sub MyFunc()
...
    For Each oSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
        On Error GoTo errHandler:
        Set qry = oSheet.ListObjects(1).QueryTable
        oCmbBox.AddItem oSheet.name

    ...
NextSheet:
    Next oSheet

...
Exit Sub

errHandler:
Resume NextSheet        
End Sub

Parsing command-line arguments in C

If you just want to process command line options yourself, the easiest way is to put:

vector<string> args(argv + 1, argv + argc);

at the top of your main(). This copies all command-line arguments into a vector of std::strings. Then you can use == to compare strings easily, instead of endless strcmp() calls. For example:

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    vector<string> args(argv + 1, argv + argc);
    string infname, outfname;

    // Loop over command-line args
    // (Actually I usually use an ordinary integer loop variable and compare
    // args[i] instead of *i -- don't tell anyone! ;)
    for (auto i = args.begin(); i != args.end(); ++i) {
        if (*i == "-h" || *i == "--help") {
            cout << "Syntax: foomatic -i <infile> -o <outfile>" << endl;
            return 0;
        } else if (*i == "-i") {
            infname = *++i;
        } else if (*i == "-o") {
            outfname = *++i;
        }
    }
}

[EDIT: I realised I was copying argv[0], the name of the program, into args -- fixed.]

Programmatically relaunch/recreate an activity?

Combining some answers here you can use something like the following.

class BaseActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity
{
    // Backwards compatible recreate().
    @Override
    public void recreate()
    {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)
        {
            super.recreate();
        }
        else
        {
            startActivity(getIntent());
            finish();
        }
    }
}

Testing

I tested it a bit, and there are some problems:

  1. If the activity is the lowest one on the stack, calling startActivity(...); finish(); just exist the app and doesn't restart the activity.
  2. super.recreate() doesn't actually act the same way as totally recreating the activity. It is equivalent to rotating the device so if you have any Fragments with setRetainInstance(true) they won't be recreated; merely paused and resumed.

So currently I don't believe there is an acceptable solution.

How to add an extra column to a NumPy array

Use numpy.append:

>>> a = np.array([[1,2,3],[2,3,4]])
>>> a
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [2, 3, 4]])

>>> z = np.zeros((2,1), dtype=int64)
>>> z
array([[0],
       [0]])

>>> np.append(a, z, axis=1)
array([[1, 2, 3, 0],
       [2, 3, 4, 0]])

How to find the operating system version using JavaScript?

I've created a library for parsing User Agent strings called Voodoo. But be aware that this should not be used instead of feature detection.

What Voodoo does, is that it parses the userAgent string, which is found in the Navigator object (window.navigator). It's not all browsers that passes a reliable userAgent string, so even though it's the normal way to do it, the userAgent can not always be trusted.

enable/disable zoom in Android WebView

The solution you posted seems to work in stopping the zoom controls from appearing when the user drags, however there are situations where a user will pinch zoom and the zoom controls will appear. I've noticed that there are 2 ways that the webview will accept pinch zooming, and only one of them causes the zoom controls to appear despite your code:

User Pinch Zooms and controls appear:

ACTION_DOWN
getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false); getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
ACTION_POINTER_2_DOWN
getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true); getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
ACTION_MOVE (Repeat several times, as the user moves their fingers)
ACTION_POINTER_2_UP
ACTION_UP

User Pinch Zoom and Controls don't appear:

ACTION_DOWN
getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false); getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
ACTION_POINTER_2_DOWN
getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true); getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
ACTION_MOVE (Repeat several times, as the user moves their fingers)
ACTION_POINTER_1_UP
ACTION_POINTER_UP
ACTION_UP

Can you shed more light on your solution?

cannot load such file -- bundler/setup (LoadError)

I've fixed that problem by creating test rails project and install all gems then I've replaced my current Gemfile.lock with the test and all thing works fine.

I think that this problem from bundler versions with hosting, so please make sure that hosting bundler is the same version with your project.

How do I look inside a Python object?

If you're interested in a GUI for this, take a look at objbrowser. It uses the inspect module from the Python standard library for the object introspection underneath.

Automapper missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping - Error

How to check whether the user uploaded a file in PHP?

You should use $_FILES[$form_name]['error']. It returns UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE if no file was uploaded. Full list: PHP: Error Messages Explained

function isUploadOkay($form_name, &$error_message) {
    if (!isset($_FILES[$form_name])) {
        $error_message = "No file upload with name '$form_name' in form.";
        return false;
    }
    $error = $_FILES[$form_name]['error'];

    // List at: http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
    if ($error != UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
        switch ($error) {
            case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE:
                $error_message = 'The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.';
                break;

            case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE:
                $error_message = 'The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.';
                break;

            case UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL:
                $error_message = 'The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.';
                break;

            case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE:
                $error_message = 'No file was uploaded.';
                break;

            case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR:
                $error_message = 'Missing a temporary folder.';
                break;

            case UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE:
                $error_message = 'Failed to write file to disk.';
                break;

            case UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION:
                $error_message = 'A PHP extension interrupted the upload.';
                break;

            default:
                $error_message = 'Unknown error';
            break;
        }
        return false;
    }

    $error_message = null;
    return true;
}

Choose Git merge strategy for specific files ("ours", "mine", "theirs")

Even though this question is answered, providing an example as to what "theirs" and "ours" means in the case of git rebase vs merge. See this link

Git Rebase
theirs is actually the current branch in the case of rebase. So the below set of commands are actually accepting your current branch changes over the remote branch.

# see current branch
$ git branch
... 
* branch-a
# rebase preferring current branch changes during conflicts
$ git rebase -X theirs branch-b

Git Merge
For merge, the meaning of theirs and ours is reversed. So, to get the same effect during a merge, i.e., keep your current branch changes (ours) over the remote branch being merged (theirs).

# assuming branch-a is our current version
$ git merge -X ours branch-b  # <- ours: branch-a, theirs: branch-b

How to modify WooCommerce cart, checkout pages (main theme portion)

WooCommerce has a number of options for modifying the cart, and checkout pages. Here are the three I'd recomend:

Use WooCommerce Conditional Tags

is_cart() and is_checkout() functions return true on their page. Example:

if ( is_cart() || is_checkout() ) {
    echo "This is the cart, or checkout page!";
}

Modify the template file

The main, cart template file is located at wp-content/themes/{current-theme}/woocommerce/cart/cart.php

The main, checkout template file is located at wp-content/themes/{current-theme}/woocommerce/checkout/form-checkout.php

To edit these, first copy them to your child theme.

Use wp-content/themes/{current-theme}/page-{slug}.php

page-{slug}.php is the second template that will be used, coming after manually assigned ones through the WP dashboard.

This is safer than my other solutions, because if you remove WooCommerce, but forget to remove this file, the code inside (that may rely on WooCommerce functions) won't break, because it's never called (unless of cause you have a page with slug {slug}).

For example:

  • wp-content/themes/{current-theme}/page-cart.php
  • wp-content/themes/{current-theme}/page-checkout.php

How to select min and max values of a column in a datatable?

Easiar approach on datatable could be:

int minLavel = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Compute("min([AccountLevel])", string.Empty));

Show Hide div if, if statement is true

from php you can invoke jquery like this but my 2nd method is much cleaner and better for php

if($switchView) :?>
 <script>$('.container').hide();</script>
 <script>$('.confirm').show();</script>
<?php endif;

another way is to initiate your class and dynamically invoke the condition like this

$registerForm ='block'; 

then in your html use this

<div class="col" style="display: <?= $registerForm?>">

now you can play with the view with if and else easily without having a messed code example

if($condition)  registerForm = 'none'; 

Make sure you use 'block' to show and 'none' to hide. This is far the easiest way with php

How to add button tint programmatically

In addition to Shayne3000's answer you can also use a color resource (not only an int color). Kotlin version:

var indicatorViewDrawable = itemHolder.indicatorView.background
indicatorViewDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(indicatorViewDrawable)
val color = ResourcesCompat.getColor(context.resources, R.color.AppGreenColor, null) // get your color from resources
DrawableCompat.setTint(indicatorViewDrawable, color)
itemHolder.indicatorView.background = indicatorViewDrawable

Flutter: Trying to bottom-center an item in a Column, but it keeps left-aligning

To do this easily, the use of Stack is better. Create a Stack Then inside Stack add Align or Positioned and set position according to your needed, You can add multiple Container.

Container
  child: Stack(
    children: <Widget>[
      Align(
         alignment: FractionalOffset.center,
         child: Text(
            "? 1000",
         )
      ),
      Positioned(
        bottom: 0,
        child: Container(
           width: double.infinity,
           height: 30,
           child: Text(
             "Balance", ,
           )
         ),
       )
    ],
  )
)

enter image description here

Stack a widget that positions its children relative to the edges of its box.

Stack class is useful if you want to overlap several children in a simple way, for example having some text and an image, overlaid with a gradient and a button attached to the bottom.
