RGB to hex and hex to RGB

This could be used for getting colors from computed style propeties:

function rgbToHex(color) {
    color = ""+ color;
    if (!color || color.indexOf("rgb") < 0) {
        return;
    }

    if (color.charAt(0) == "#") {
        return color;
    }

    var nums = /(.*?)rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)/i.exec(color),
        r = parseInt(nums[2], 10).toString(16),
        g = parseInt(nums[3], 10).toString(16),
        b = parseInt(nums[4], 10).toString(16);

    return "#"+ (
        (r.length == 1 ? "0"+ r : r) +
        (g.length == 1 ? "0"+ g : g) +
        (b.length == 1 ? "0"+ b : b)
    );
}

// not computed 
<div style="color: #4d93bc; border: 1px solid red;">...</div> 
// computed 
<div style="color: rgb(77, 147, 188); border: 1px solid rgb(255, 0, 0);">...</div>

console.log( rgbToHex(color) ) // #4d93bc
console.log( rgbToHex(borderTopColor) ) // #ff0000

How to pre-populate the sms body text via an html link

Well not only do you have to worry about iOS and Android, there's also which android messaging app. Google messaging app for Note 9 and some new galaxys do not open with text, but the samsung app works. The solution seems to be add // after the sms:

so sms://15551235555

<a href="sms:/* phone number here */?body=/* body text here */">Link</a>

should be

<a href="sms://15551235555?body=Hello">Link</a>

Confirm password validation in Angular 6

I am using angular 6 and I have been searching on best way to match password and confirm password. This can also be used to match any two inputs in a form. I used Angular Directives. I have been wanting to use them

ng g d compare-validators --spec false and i will be added in your module. Below is the directive

import { Directive, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { Validator, NG_VALIDATORS, AbstractControl, ValidationErrors } from '@angular/forms';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';

@Directive({
  // tslint:disable-next-line:directive-selector
  selector: '[compare]',
  providers: [{ provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: CompareValidatorDirective, multi: true}]
})
export class CompareValidatorDirective implements Validator {
  // tslint:disable-next-line:no-input-rename
  @Input('compare') controlNameToCompare;

  validate(c: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors | null {
    if (c.value.length < 6 || c.value === null) {
      return null;
    }
    const controlToCompare = c.root.get(this.controlNameToCompare);

    if (controlToCompare) {
      const subscription: Subscription = controlToCompare.valueChanges.subscribe(() => {
        c.updateValueAndValidity();
        subscription.unsubscribe();
      });
    }

    return controlToCompare && controlToCompare.value !== c.value ? {'compare': true } : null;
  }

}

Now in your component

<div class="col-md-6">
              <div class="form-group">
                <label class="bmd-label-floating">Password</label>
                <input type="password" class="form-control" formControlName="usrpass" [ngClass]="{ 'is-invalid': submitAttempt && f.usrpass.errors }">
                <div *ngIf="submitAttempt && signupForm.controls['usrpass'].errors" class="invalid-feedback">
                  <div *ngIf="signupForm.controls['usrpass'].errors.required">Your password is required</div>
                  <div *ngIf="signupForm.controls['usrpass'].errors.minlength">Password must be at least 6 characters</div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-6">
              <div class="form-group">
                <label class="bmd-label-floating">Confirm Password</label>
                <input type="password" class="form-control" formControlName="confirmpass" compare = "usrpass"
                [ngClass]="{ 'is-invalid': submitAttempt && f.confirmpass.errors }">
                <div *ngIf="submitAttempt && signupForm.controls['confirmpass'].errors" class="invalid-feedback">
                  <div *ngIf="signupForm.controls['confirmpass'].errors.required">Your confirm password is required</div>
                  <div *ngIf="signupForm.controls['confirmpass'].errors.minlength">Password must be at least 6 characters</div>
                  <div *ngIf="signupForm.controls['confirmpass'].errors['compare']">Confirm password and Password dont match</div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>

How to replace space with comma using sed?

On Linux use below to test (it would replace the whitespaces with comma)

 sed 's/\s/,/g' /tmp/test.txt | head

later you can take the output into the file using below command:

sed 's/\s/,/g' /tmp/test.txt > /tmp/test_final.txt

PS: test is the file which you want to use

Right HTTP status code to wrong input

Reading output of a command into an array in Bash

You can use

my_array=( $(<command>) )

to store the output of command <command> into the array my_array.

You can access the length of that array using

my_array_length=${#my_array[@]}

Now the length is stored in my_array_length.

How to tell CRAN to install package dependencies automatically?

On your own system, try

install.packages("foo", dependencies=...)

with the dependencies= argument is documented as

dependencies: logical indicating to also install uninstalled packages
      which these packages depend on/link to/import/suggest (and so
      on recursively).  Not used if ‘repos = NULL’.  Can also be a
      character vector, a subset of ‘c("Depends", "Imports",
      "LinkingTo", "Suggests", "Enhances")’.

      Only supported if ‘lib’ is of length one (or missing), so it
      is unambiguous where to install the dependent packages.  If
      this is not the case it is ignored, with a warning.

      The default, ‘NA’, means ‘c("Depends", "Imports",
      "LinkingTo")’.

      ‘TRUE’ means (as from R 2.15.0) to use ‘c("Depends",
      "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests")’ for ‘pkgs’ and
      ‘c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo")’ for added
      dependencies: this installs all the packages needed to run
      ‘pkgs’, their examples, tests and vignettes (if the package
      author specified them correctly).

so you probably want a value TRUE.

In your package, list what is needed in Depends:, see the Writing R Extensions manual which is pretty clear on this.

Splitting applicationContext to multiple files

@eljenso : intrafest-servlet.xml webapplication context xml will be used if the application uses SPRING WEB MVC.

Otherwise the @kosoant configuration is fine.

Simple example if you dont use SPRING WEB MVC, but want to utitlize SPRING IOC :

In web.xml:

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:application-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

Then, your application-context.xml will contain: <import resource="foo-services.xml"/> these import statements to load various application context files and put into main application-context.xml.

Thanks and hope this helps.

PHP refresh window? equivalent to F5 page reload?

Use JavaScript for this. You can do:

echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
   parent.window.location.reload(true);
</script>
';

In PHP and it will refresh the parent's frame page.

How to read specific lines from a file (by line number)?

The quick answer:

f=open('filename')
lines=f.readlines()
print lines[25]
print lines[29]

or:

lines=[25, 29]
i=0
f=open('filename')
for line in f:
    if i in lines:
        print i
    i+=1

There is a more elegant solution for extracting many lines: linecache (courtesy of "python: how to jump to a particular line in a huge text file?", a previous stackoverflow.com question).

Quoting the python documentation linked above:

>>> import linecache
>>> linecache.getline('/etc/passwd', 4)
'sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh\n'

Change the 4 to your desired line number, and you're on. Note that 4 would bring the fifth line as the count is zero-based.

If the file might be very large, and cause problems when read into memory, it might be a good idea to take @Alok's advice and use enumerate().

To Conclude:

  • Use fileobject.readlines() or for line in fileobject as a quick solution for small files.
  • Use linecache for a more elegant solution, which will be quite fast for reading many files, possible repeatedly.
  • Take @Alok's advice and use enumerate() for files which could be very large, and won't fit into memory. Note that using this method might slow because the file is read sequentially.

Search a whole table in mySQL for a string

Try something like this:

SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CONCAT(field1, '', field2, '', fieldn) LIKE "%Mary%"

You may want to see SQL docs for additional information on string operators and regular expressions.

Edit: There may be some issues with NULL fields, so just in case you may want to use IFNULL(field_i, '') instead of just field_i

Case sensitivity: You can use case insensitive collation or something like this:

... WHERE LOWER(CONCAT(...)) LIKE LOWER("%Mary%")

Just search all field: I believe there is no way to make an SQL-query that will search through all field without explicitly declaring field to search in. The reason is there is a theory of relational databases and strict rules for manipulating relational data (something like relational algebra or codd algebra; these are what SQL is from), and theory doesn't allow things such as "just search all fields". Of course actual behaviour depends on vendor's concrete realisation. But in common case it is not possible. To make sure, check SELECT operator syntax (WHERE section, to be precise).

Validate select box

Just add a class of required to the select

<select id="select" class="required">

Long press on UITableView

Pass an array of integers to ASP.NET Web API?

I just added the Query key (Refit lib) in the property for the request.

        [FromQuery(Name = "name")]
        public string Name { get; set; }               
       
        [AliasAs("category")]
        [Query(CollectionFormat.Multi)]
        public List<string> Categories { get; set; }
}

Composer: file_put_contents(./composer.json): failed to open stream: Permission denied

To resolve this, you should open up a terminal window and type this command:

sudo chown -R user ~/.composer (with user being your current user, in your case, kramer65)

After you have ran this command, you should have permission to run your composer global require command.

You may also need to remove the .composer file from the current directory, to do this open up a terminal window and type this command:

sudo rm -rf .composer

Docker: Multiple Dockerfiles in project

In newer versions(>=1.8.0) of docker, you can do this

docker build -f Dockerfile.db .
docker build -f Dockerfile.web .

A big save.

EDIT: update versions per raksja's comment

EDIT: comment from @vsevolod: it's possible to get syntax highlighting in VS code by giving files .Dockerfile extension(instead of name) e.g. Prod.Dockerfile, Test.Dockerfile etc.

How to add minutes to current time in swift

Two approaches:

  1. Use Calendar and date(byAdding:to:wrappingComponents:). E.g., in Swift 3 and later:

    let calendar = Calendar.current
    let date = calendar.date(byAdding: .minute, value: 5, to: startDate)
    
  2. Just use + operator (see +(_:_:)) to add a TimeInterval (i.e. a certain number of seconds). E.g. to add five minutes, you can:

    let date = startDate + 5 * 60
    

    (Note, the order is specific here: The date on the left side of the + and the seconds on the right side.)

    You can also use addingTimeInterval, if you’d prefer:

    let date = startDate.addingTimeInterval(5 * 60)
    

Bottom line, +/addingTimeInterval is easiest for simple scenarios, but if you ever want to add larger units (e.g., days, months, etc.), you would likely want to use the calendrical calculations because those adjust for daylight savings, whereas addingTimeInterval doesn’t.


For Swift 2 renditions, see the previous revision of this answer.

What's the difference between .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Xamarin?

You should use .NET Core, instead of .NET Framework or Xamarin, in the following 6 typical scenarios according to the documentation here.

1. Cross-Platform needs

Clearly, if your goal is to have an application (web/service) that should be able to run across platforms (Windows, Linux and MacOS), the best choice in the .NET ecosystem is to use .NET Core as its runtime (CoreCLR) and libraries are cross-platform. The other choice is to use the Mono Project.

Both choices are open source, but .NET Core is directly and officially supported by Microsoft and will have a heavy investment moving forward.

When using .NET Core across platforms, the best development experience exists on Windows with the Visual Studio IDE which supports many productivity features including project management, debugging, source control, refactoring, rich editing including Intellisense, testing and much more. But rich development is also supported using Visual Studio Code on Mac, Linux and Windows including intellisense and debugging. Even third party editors like Sublime, Emacs, VI and more work well and can get editor intellisense using the open source Omnisharp project.

2. Microservices

When you are building a microservices oriented system composed of multiple independent, dynamically scalable, stateful or stateless microservices, the great advantage that you have here is that you can use different technologies/frameworks/languages at a microservice level. That allows you to use the best approach and technology per micro areas in your system, so if you want to build very performant and scalable microservices, you should use .NET Core. Eventually, if you need to use any .NET Framework library that is not compatible with .NET Core, there’s no issue, you can build that microservice with the .NET Framework and in the future you might be able to substitute it with the .NET Core.

The infrastructure platform you could use are many. Ideally, for large and complex microservice systems, you should use Azure Service Fabric. But for stateless microservices you can also use other products like Azure App Service or Azure Functions.

Note that as of June 2016, not every technology within Azure supports the .NET Core, but .NET Core support in Azure will be increasing dramatically now that .NET Core is RTM released.

3. Best performant and scalable systems

When your system needs the best possible performance and scalability so you get the best responsiveness no matter how many users you have, then is where .NET Core and ASP.NET Core really shine. The more you can do with the same amount of infrastructure/hardware, the richer the experience you’ll have for your end users – at a lower cost.

The days of Moore’s law performance improvements for single CPUs does not apply anymore; yet you need to do more while your system is growing and need higher scalability and performance for everyday’ s more demanding users which are growing exponentially in numbers. You need to get more efficient, optimize everywhere, and scale better across clusters of machines, VMs and CPU cores, ultimately. It is not just a matter of user’s satisfaction; it can also make a huge difference in cost/TCO. This is why it is important to strive for performance and scalability.

As mentioned, if you can isolate small pieces of your system as microservices or any other loosely-coupled approach, it’ll be better as you’ll be able to not just evolve each small piece/microservice independently and have a better long-term agility and maintenance, but also you’ll be able to use any other technology at a microservice level if what you need to do is not compatible with .NET Core. And eventually you’d be able to refactor it and bring it to .NET Core when possible.

4. Command line style development for Mac, Linux or Windows.

This approach is optional when using .NET Core. You can also use the full Visual Studio IDE, of course. But if you are a developer that wants to develop with lightweight editors and heavy use of command line, .NET Core is designed for CLI. It provides simple command line tools available on all supported platforms, enabling developers to build and test applications with a minimal installation on developer, lab or production machines. Editors like Visual Studio Code use the same command line tools for their development experiences. And IDE’s like Visual Studio use the same CLI tools but hide them behind a rich IDE experience. Developers can now choose the level they want to interact with the tool chain from CLI to editor to IDE.

5. Need side by side of .NET versions per application level.

If you want to be able to install applications with dependencies on different versions of frameworks in .NET, you need to use .NET Core which provides 100% side-by side as explained previously in this document.

6. Windows 10 UWP .NET apps.

In addition, you may also want to read:

  1. When should I NOT use .NET Core?
  2. When should I still use .NET Framework 4.x, instead of .NET Core?
  3. When should I use Xamarin, instead of .NET Core?

How to initialize struct?

Structure types should, whenever practical, either have all of their state encapsulated in public fields which may independently be set to any values which are valid for their respective type, or else behave as a single unified value which can only bet set via constructor, factory, method, or else by passing an instance of the struct as an explicit ref parameter to one of its public methods. Contrary to what some people claim, that there's nothing wrong with a struct having public fields, if it is supposed to represent a set of values which may sensibly be either manipulated individually or passed around as a group (e.g. the coordinates of a point). Historically, there have been problems with structures that had public property setters, and a desire to avoid public fields (implying that setters should be used instead) has led some people to suggest that mutable structures should be avoided altogether, but fields do not have the problems that properties had. Indeed, an exposed-field struct is the ideal representation for a loose collection of independent variables, since it is just a loose collection of variables.

In your particular example, however, it appears that the two fields of your struct are probably not supposed to be independent. There are three ways your struct could sensibly be designed:

  • You could have the only public field be the string, and then have a read-only "helper" property called length which would report its length if the string is non-null, or return zero if the string is null.

  • You could have the struct not expose any public fields, property setters, or mutating methods, and have the contents of the only field--a private string--be specified in the object's constructor. As above, length would be a property that would report the length of the stored string.

  • You could have the struct not expose any public fields, property setters, or mutating methods, and have two private fields: one for the string and one for the length, both of which would be set in a constructor that takes a string, stores it, measures its length, and stores that. Determining the length of a string is sufficiently fast that it probably wouldn't be worthwhile to compute and cache it, but it might be useful to have a structure that combined a string and its GetHashCode value.

It's important to be aware of a detail with regard to the third design, however: if non-threadsafe code causes one instance of the structure to be read while another thread is writing to it, that may cause the accidental creation of a struct instance whose field values are inconsistent. The resulting behaviors may be a little different from those that occur when classes are used in non-threadsafe fashion. Any code having anything to do with security must be careful not to assume that structure fields will be in a consistent state, since malicious code--even in a "full trust" enviroment--can easily generate structs whose state is inconsistent if that's what it wants to do.

PS -- If you wish to allow your structure to be initialized using an assignment from a string, I would suggest using an implicit conversion operator and making Length be a read-only property that returns the length of the underlying string if non-null, or zero if the string is null.

Source file not compiled Dev C++

Java function for arrays like PHP's join()?

As with many questions lately, Java 8 to the rescue:


Java 8 added a new static method to java.lang.String which does exactly what you want:

public static String join(CharSequence delimeter, CharSequence... elements);

Using it:

String s = String.join(", ", new String[] {"Hello", "World", "!"});

Results in:

"Hello, World, !"

Is it a bad practice to use an if-statement without curly braces?

It is a matter of preference. I personally use both styles, if I am reasonably sure that I won't need to add anymore statements, I use the first style, but if that is possible, I use the second. Since you cannot add anymore statements to the first style, I have heard some people recommend against using it. However, the second method does incur an additional line of code and if you (or your project) uses this kind of coding style, the first method is very much preferred for simple if statements:

if(statement)
{
    do this;
}
else
{
    do this;
}

However, I think the best solution to this problem is in Python. With the whitespace-based block structure, you don't have two different methods of creating an if statement: you only have one:

if statement:
    do this
else:
    do this

While that does have the "issue" that you can't use the braces at all, you do gain the benefit that it is no more lines that the first style and it has the power to add more statements.

How can a divider line be added in an Android RecyclerView?

Just add a View by the end of you item adapter:

<View
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="1dp"
 android:background="#FFFFFF"/>

Example using Hyperlink in WPF

I liked Arthur's idea of a reusable handler, but I think there's a simpler way to do it:

private void Hyperlink_RequestNavigate(object sender, RequestNavigateEventArgs e)
{
    if (sender.GetType() != typeof (Hyperlink))
        return;
    string link = ((Hyperlink) sender).NavigateUri.ToString();
    Process.Start(link);
}

Obviously there could be security risks with starting any kind of process, so be carefull.

How to set radio button selected value using jquery

Can be done using the id of the element

example

<label><input type="radio" name="travel_mode"  value="Flight" id="Flight"> Flight </label>
<label><input type="radio" name="travel_mode"  value="Train" id="Train"> Train </label>
<label><input type="radio" name="travel_mode"  value="Bus" id="Bus"> Bus </label>
<label><input type="radio" name="travel_mode"  value="Road" id="Road"> Other </label>

js:

$('#' + selected).prop('checked',true);

top -c command in linux to filter processes listed based on processname

It can be done interactively

After running top -c , hit o and write a filter on a column, e.g. to show rows where COMMAND column contains the string foo, write COMMAND=foo

If you just want some basic output this might be enough:

top -bc |grep name_of_process

document.getelementbyId will return null if element is not defined?

Yes it will return null if it's not present you can try this below in the demo. Both will return true. The first elements exists the second doesn't.

Demo

Html

<div id="xx"></div>

Javascript:

   if (document.getElementById('xx') !=null) 
     console.log('it exists!');

   if (document.getElementById('xxThisisNotAnElementOnThePage') ==null) 
     console.log('does not exist!');

What does it mean when the size of a VARCHAR2 in Oracle is declared as 1 byte?

You can declare columns/variables as varchar2(n CHAR) and varchar2(n byte).

n CHAR means the variable will hold n characters. In multi byte character sets you don't always know how many bytes you want to store, but you do want to garantee the storage of a certain amount of characters.

n bytes means simply the number of bytes you want to store.

varchar is deprecated. Do not use it. What is the difference between varchar and varchar2?

Disabling right click on images using jquery

This should work

$(function(){
     $('body').on('contextmenu', 'img', function(e){ 
         return false; 
     });
 });

Write variable to file, including name

Do you just want to know how to write a line to a file? First, you need to open the file:

f = open("filename.txt", 'w')

Then, you need to write the string to the file:

f.write("dict = {'one': 1, 'two': 2}" + '\n')

You can repeat this for each line (the +'\n' adds a newline if you want it).

Finally, you need to close the file:

f.close()

You can also be slightly more clever and use with:

with open("filename.txt", 'w') as f:
   f.write("dict = {'one': 1, 'two': 2}" + '\n')
   ### repeat for all desired lines

This will automatically close the file, even if exceptions are raised.

But I suspect this is not what you are asking...

versionCode vs versionName in Android Manifest

android:versionCode — An integer value that represents the version of the application code, relative to other versions.

The value is an integer so that other applications can programmatically evaluate it, for example to check an upgrade or downgrade relationship. You can set the value to any integer you want, however you should make sure that each successive release of your application uses a greater value. The system does not enforce this behavior, but increasing the value with successive releases is normative.

android:versionName — A string value that represents the release version of the application code, as it should be shown to users.

The value is a string so that you can describe the application version as a .. string, or as any other type of absolute or relative version identifier.

As with android:versionCode, the system does not use this value for any internal purpose, other than to enable applications to display it to users. Publishing services may also extract the android:versionName value for display to users.

Typically, you would release the first version of your application with versionCode set to 1, then monotonically increase the value with each release, regardless whether the release constitutes a major or minor release. This means that the android:versionCode value does not necessarily have a strong resemblance to the application release version that is visible to the user (see android:versionName, below). Applications and publishing services should not display this version value to users.

Wait one second in running program

Personally I think Thread.Sleep is a poor implementation. It locks the UI etc. I personally like timer implementations since it waits then fires.

Usage: DelayFactory.DelayAction(500, new Action(() => { this.RunAction(); }));

//Note Forms.Timer and Timer() have similar implementations. 

public static void DelayAction(int millisecond, Action action)
{
    var timer = new DispatcherTimer();
    timer.Tick += delegate

    {
        action.Invoke();
        timer.Stop();
    };

    timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(millisecond);
    timer.Start();
}

converting a base 64 string to an image and saving it

If you have a string of binary data which is Base64 encoded, you should be able to do the following:

byte[] encodedDataAsBytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(encodedData);

You should be able to write the resulting array to a file.

How to send a html email with the bash command "sendmail"?

It includes a script to send e-mail with a MIME attachment, ie with a HTML page and images included.

JAX-WS - Adding SOAP Headers

Adding an object to header we use the examples used here,yet i will complete

  ObjectFactory objectFactory = new ObjectFactory();
        CabeceraCR cabeceraCR =objectFactory.createCabeceraCR();
        cabeceraCR.setUsuario("xxxxx");
        cabeceraCR.setClave("xxxxx");

With object factory we create the object asked to pass on the header. The to add to the header

  WSBindingProvider bp = (WSBindingProvider)wsXXXXXXSoap;
        bp.setOutboundHeaders(
                // Sets a simple string value as a header
                Headers.create(jaxbContext,objectFactory.createCabeceraCR(cabeceraCR))
                );

We used the WSBindingProvider to add the header. The object will have some error if used directly so we use the method

objectFactory.createCabeceraCR(cabeceraCR)

This method will create a JAXBElement like this on the object Factory

  @XmlElementDecl(namespace = "http://www.creditreport.ec/", name = "CabeceraCR")
    public JAXBElement<CabeceraCR> createCabeceraCR(CabeceraCR value) {
        return new JAXBElement<CabeceraCR>(_CabeceraCR_QNAME, CabeceraCR.class, null, value);
    }

And the jaxbContext we obtained like this:

  jaxbContext = (JAXBRIContext) JAXBContext.newInstance(CabeceraCR.class.getPackage().getName());

This will add the object to the header.

Error in Eclipse: "The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved"

I also had this problem in my system, but after looking inside the project I saw the XML structure of the .classpath file in the project path was incorrect. After amending that file the problem was solved.

Adding quotes to a string in VBScript

I designed a simple approach using single quotes when forming the strings and then calling a function that replaces single quotes with double quotes.

Of course this approach works as long as you don't need to include actual single quotes inside your string.

Function Q(s)

    Q = Replace(s,"'","""")

End Function

...

user="myself"
code ="70234"
level ="C"

r="{'User':'" & user & "','Code':'" & code & "','Level':'" & level & "'}"
r = Q(r)
response.write r

...

Hope this helps.

JavaScript adding decimal numbers issue

This is common issue with floating points.

Use toFixed in combination with parseFloat.

Here is example in JavaScript:

function roundNumber(number, decimals) {
    var newnumber = new Number(number+'').toFixed(parseInt(decimals));
    return parseFloat(newnumber); 
}

0.1 + 0.2;                    //=> 0.30000000000000004
roundNumber( 0.1 + 0.2, 12 ); //=> 0.3

How to check if directory exists in %PATH%?

First I will point out a number of issues that make this problem difficult to solve perfectly. Then I will present the most bullet-proof solution I have been able to come up with.

For this discussion I will use lower case path to represent a single folder path in the file system, and upper case PATH to represent the PATH environment variable.

From a practical standpoint, most people want to know if PATH contains the logical equivalent of a given path, not whether PATH contains an exact string match of a given path. This can be problematic because:

  1. The trailing \ is optional in a path
    Most paths work equally well both with and without the trailing \. The path logically points to the same location either way. The PATH frequently has a mixture of paths both with and without the trailing \. This is probably the most common practical issue when searching a PATH for a match.

    • There is one exception: The relative path C: (meaning the current working directory of drive C) is very different than C:\ (meaning the root directory of drive C)

  2. Some paths have alternate short names
    Any path that does not meet the old 8.3 standard has an alternate short form that does meet the standard. This is another PATH issue that I have seen with some frequency, particularly in business settings.

  3. Windows accepts both / and \ as folder separators within a path.
    This is not seen very often, but a path can be specified using / instead of \ and it will function just fine within PATH (as well as in many other Windows contexts)

  4. Windows treats consecutive folder separators as one logical separator.
    C:\FOLDER\\ and C:\FOLDER\ are equivalent. This actually helps in many contexts when dealing with a path because a developer can generally append \ to a path without bothering to check if the trailing \ already exists. But this obviously can cause problems if trying to perform an exact string match.

    • Exceptions: Not only is C:, different than C:\, but C:\ (a valid path), is different than C:\\ (an invalid path).

  5. Windows trims trailing dots and spaces from file and directory names.
    "C:\test. " is equivalent to "C:\test".

  6. The current .\ and parent ..\ folder specifiers may appear within a path
    Unlikely to be seen in real life, but something like C:\.\parent\child\..\.\child\ is equivalent to C:\parent\child

  7. A path can optionally be enclosed within double quotes.
    A path is often enclosed in quotes to protect against special characters like <space> , ; ^ & =. Actually any number of quotes can appear before, within, and/or after the path. They are ignored by Windows except for the purpose of protecting against special characters. The quotes are never required within PATH unless a path contains a ;, but the quotes may be present never-the-less.

  8. A path may be fully qualified or relative.
    A fully qualified path points to exactly one specific location within the file system. A relative path location changes depending on the value of current working volumes and directories. There are three primary flavors of relative paths:

    • D: is relative to the current working directory of volume D:
    • \myPath is relative to the current working volume (could be C:, D: etc.)
    • myPath is relative to the current working volume and directory

    It is perfectly legal to include a relative path within PATH. This is very common in the Unix world because Unix does not search the current directory by default, so a Unix PATH will often contain .\. But Windows does search the current directory by default, so relative paths are rare in a Windows PATH.

So in order to reliably check if PATH already contains a path, we need a way to convert any given path into a canonical (standard) form. The ~s modifier used by FOR variable and argument expansion is a simple method that addresses issues 1 - 6, and partially addresses issue 7. The ~s modifier removes enclosing quotes, but preserves internal quotes. Issue 7 can be fully resolved by explicitly removing quotes from all paths prior to comparison. Note that if a path does not physically exist then the ~s modifier will not append the \ to the path, nor will it convert the path into a valid 8.3 format.

The problem with ~s is it converts relative paths into fully qualified paths. This is problematic for Issue 8 because a relative path should never match a fully qualified path. We can use FINDSTR regular expressions to classify a path as either fully qualified or relative. A normal fully qualified path must start with <letter>:<separator> but not <letter>:<separator><separator>, where <separator> is either \ or /. UNC paths are always fully qualified and must start with \\. When comparing fully qualified paths we use the ~s modifier. When comparing relative paths we use the raw strings. Finally, we never compare a fully qualified path to a relative path. This strategy provides a good practical solution for Issue 8. The only limitation is two logically equivalent relative paths could be treated as not matching, but this is a minor concern because relative paths are rare in a Windows PATH.

There are some additional issues that complicate this problem:

9) Normal expansion is not reliable when dealing with a PATH that contains special characters.
Special characters do not need to be quoted within PATH, but they could be. So a PATH like C:\THIS & THAT;"C:\& THE OTHER THING" is perfectly valid, but it cannot be expanded safely using simple expansion because both "%PATH%" and %PATH% will fail.

10) The path delimiter is also valid within a path name
A ; is used to delimit paths within PATH, but ; can also be a valid character within a path, in which case the path must be quoted. This causes a parsing issue.

jeb solved both issues 9 and 10 at 'Pretty print' windows %PATH% variable - how to split on ';' in CMD shell

So we can combine the ~s modifier and path classification techniques along with my variation of jeb's PATH parser to get this nearly bullet proof solution for checking if a given path already exists within PATH. The function can be included and called from within a batch file, or it can stand alone and be called as its own inPath.bat batch file. It looks like a lot of code, but over half of it is comments.

exit /b 1

The function can be used like so (assuming the batch file is named inPath.bat):

set test=c:\mypath
call inPath test && (echo found) || (echo not found)



Typically the reason for checking if a path exists within PATH is because you want to append the path if it isn't there. This is normally done simply by using something like path %path%;%newPath%. But Issue 9 demonstrates how this is not reliable.

Another issue is how to return the final PATH value across the ENDLOCAL barrier at the end of the function, especially if the function could be called with delayed expansion enabled or disabled. Any unescaped ! will corrupt the value if delayed expansion is enabled.

These problems are resolved using an amazing safe return technique that jeb invented here: http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6930#p6930

How to Consolidate Data from Multiple Excel Columns All into One Column

Here is how you do it with some simple Excel formulae, and no fancy VBA needed. The trick is to use the OFFSET formula. Please see this example spreadsheet:

Static class initializer in PHP

Actually, I use a public static method __init__() on my static classes that require initialization (or at least need to execute some code). Then, in my autoloader, when it loads a class it checks is_callable($class, '__init__'). If it is, it calls that method. Quick, simple and effective...

Can you 'exit' a loop in PHP?

As stated in other posts, you can use the break keyword. One thing that was hinted at but not explained is that the keyword can take a numeric value to tell PHP how many levels to break from.

For example, if you have three foreach loops nested in each other trying to find a piece of information, you could do 'break 3' to get out of all three nested loops. This will work for the 'for', 'foreach', 'while', 'do-while', or 'switch' structures.

$person = "Rasmus Lerdorf";
$found = false;

foreach($organization as $oKey=>$department)
{
   foreach($department as $dKey=>$group)
   {
      foreach($group as $gKey=>$employee)
      {
         if ($employee['fullname'] == $person)
         {
            $found = true;
            break 3;
         }
      } // group
   } // department
} // organization

if...else within JSP or JSTL

If you want to do the following by using JSTL Tag Libe, please follow the following steps:

[Requirement] if a number is a grater than equal 40 and lower than 50 then display "Two digit number starting with 4" otherwise "Other numbers".

[Solutions]

1. Please Add the JSTL tag lib on the top of the page.`
     <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>`

2. Please Write the following code
`
<c:choose>
       <c:when test="${params.number >=40 && params.number <50}">
              <p> Two digit number starting with 4. </p>
       </c:when>
       <c:otherwise>
              <p> Other numbers. </p>
       </c:otherwise>

grep from tar.gz without extracting [faster one]

If this is really slow, I suspect you're dealing with a large archive file. It's going to uncompress it once to extract the file list, and then uncompress it N times--where N is the number of files in the archive--for the grep. In addition to all the uncompressing, it's going to have to scan a fair bit into the archive each time to extract each file. One of tar's biggest drawbacks is that there is no table of contents at the beginning. There's no efficient way to get information about all the files in the archive and only read that portion of the file. It essentially has to read all of the file up to the thing you're extracting every time; it can't just jump to a filename's location right away.

The easiest thing you can do to speed this up would be to uncompress the file first (gunzip file.tar.gz) and then work on the .tar file. That might help enough by itself. It's still going to loop through the entire archive N times, though.

If you really want this to be efficient, your only option is to completely extract everything in the archive before processing it. Since your problem is speed, I suspect this is a giant file that you don't want to extract first, but if you can, this will speed things up a lot:

tar zxf file.tar.gz
for f in hopefullySomeSubdir/*; do
  grep -l "string" $f
done

Note that grep -l prints the name of any matching file, quits after the first match, and is silent if there's no match. That alone will speed up the grepping portion of your command, so even if you don't have the space to extract the entire archive, grep -l will help. If the files are huge, it will help a lot.

Html code as IFRAME source rather than a URL

I have a page it loads an HTML body from MYSQL I want to present that code in a frame so it renders it self independent of the rest of the page and in the confines of that specific bordering.

An object with a unencoded dataUri might have also fit your need if it was only to load a portion of data text:

The HTML <object> element represents an external resource, which can be treated as an image, a nested browsing context, or a resource to be handled by a plugin.

_x000D_
_x000D_
body {display:flex;min-height:25em;}
p {margin:auto;}
object {margin:0 auto;background:lightgray;}
_x000D_
<p>here My uploaded content: </p>
<object data='data:text/html,
  <style>

.table {
  display: table;
  text-align:center;
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
}

.table > * {
  display: table-row;
}

.table > main {
  display: table-cell;
  height: 100%;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
</style>


<div class="table">

But keeping your Iframe idea, You could also load your HTML inside your iframe tag and set it as the srcdoc value.You should not have to mind about quotes nor turning it into a dataUri but only mind to fire onload once.

The HTML Inline Frame element (<iframe>) represents a nested browsing context, embedding another HTML page into the current one.

Both iframe below will render the same, one require extra javascript.

Link to the issue number on GitHub within a commit message

Just as addition to the other answers: If you don't even want to write the commit message with the issue number and happen to use Eclipse for development, then you can install the eGit and Mylyn plugins as well as the GitHub connector for Mylyn. Eclipse can then automatically track which issue you are working on and automatically fill the commit message, including the issue number as shown in all the other answers.

For more details about that setup see http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/GitHub/UserGuide

How to add a color overlay to a background image?

background-image takes multiple values.

so a combination of just 1 color linear-gradient and css blend modes will do the trick.

.testclass {
    background-image: url("../images/image.jpg"), linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.5),rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
    background-blend-mode: overlay;
}

note that there is no support on IE/Edge for CSS blend-modes at all.

How to use getJSON, sending data with post method?

$.getJSON() is pretty handy for sending an AJAX request and getting back JSON data as a response. Alas, the jQuery documentation lacks a sister function that should be named $.postJSON(). Why not just use $.getJSON() and be done with it? Well, perhaps you want to send a large amount of data or, in my case, IE7 just doesn’t want to work properly with a GET request.

It is true, there is currently no $.postJSON() method, but you can accomplish the same thing by specifying a fourth parameter (type) in the $.post() function:

My code looked like this:

$.post('script.php', data, function(response) {
  // Do something with the request
}, 'json');

What's the difference between "super()" and "super(props)" in React when using es6 classes?

There is only one reason when one needs to pass props to super():

When you want to access this.props in constructor.

Passing:

class MyComponent extends React.Component {    
    constructor(props) {
        super(props)

        console.log(this.props)
        // -> { icon: 'home', … }
    }
}

Not passing:

class MyComponent extends React.Component {    
    constructor(props) {
        super()

        console.log(this.props)
        // -> undefined

        // Props parameter is still available
        console.log(props)
        // -> { icon: 'home', … }
    }

    render() {
        // No difference outside constructor
        console.log(this.props)
        // -> { icon: 'home', … }
    }
}

Note that passing or not passing props to super has no effect on later uses of this.props outside constructor. That is render, shouldComponentUpdate, or event handlers always have access to it.

This is explicitly said in one Sophie Alpert's answer to a similar question.


The documentation—State and Lifecycle, Adding Local State to a Class, point 2—recommends:

Class components should always call the base constructor with props.

However, no reason is provided. We can speculate it is either because of subclassing or for future compatibility.

Meaning of Open hashing and Closed hashing

You have an array that is the "hash table".

In Open Hashing each cell in the array points to a list containg the collisions. The hashing has produced the same index for all items in the linked list.

In Closed Hashing you use only one array for everything. You store the collisions in the same array. The trick is to use some smart way to jump from collision to collision unitl you find what you want. And do this in a reproducible / deterministic way.

How to center a component in Material-UI and make it responsive?

Since you are going to use this in a login page. Here is a code I used in a Login page using Material-UI

<Grid
  container
  spacing={0}
  direction="column"
  alignItems="center"
  justify="center"
  style={{ minHeight: '100vh' }}
>

  <Grid item xs={3}>
    <LoginForm />
  </Grid>   

</Grid> 

this will make this login form at the center of the screen.

But still IE doesn't support the Material-UI Grid and you will see some misplaced content in IE.

Hope this will help you.

How to calculate difference between two dates in oracle 11g SQL

Oracle support Mathematical Subtract - operator on Data datatype. You may directly put in select clause following statement:

to_char (s.last_upd – s.created, ‘999999D99')

Check the EXAMPLE for more visibility.

In case you need the output in termes of hours, then the below might help;

Select to_number(substr(numtodsinterval([END_TIME]-[START_TIME]),’day’,2,9))*24 +
to_number(substr(numtodsinterval([END_TIME]-[START_TIME],’day’),12,2))
||':’||to_number(substr(numtodsinterval([END_TIME]-[START_TIME],’day’),15,2))

Can you target <br /> with css?

BR is an inline element, not a block element.

So, you need:

 br.Underline{
    border-bottom:1px dashed black;
    display: block;
  }

Otherwise, browsers that are a little pickier about such things will refuse to apply borders to your BR elements, since inline elements don't have borders, padding, or margins.

How can I convert the "arguments" object to an array in JavaScript?

When to use Interface and Model in TypeScript / Angular

The Interface describes either a contract for a class or a new type. It is a pure Typescript element, so it doesn't affect Javascript.

A model, and namely a class, is an actual JS function which is being used to generate new objects.

I want to load JSON data from a URL and bind to the Interface/Model.

Go for a model, otherwise it will still be JSON in your Javascript.

php random x digit number

you people really likes to complicate things :)

the real problem is that the OP wants to, probably, add that to the end of some really big number. if not, there is no need I can think of for that to be required. as left zeros in any number is just, well, left zeroes.

so, just append the larger portion of that number as a math sum, not string.

e.g.

$x = "102384129" . complex_3_digit_random_string();

simply becomes

$x = 102384129000 + rand(0, 999);

done.

I normally learn by example, and here's a little something:

    const lives = 2;

    const cat1 = {
        lives: 5,
        jumps: () => {
            console.log(this.lives);
        }
    };
    cat1.jumps(); // 1
    console.log(cat1); // { lives: 5, jumps: [Function: jumps] }

    const cat2 = {
        lives: 5,
        jumps: () => {
            console.log(lives);
        }
    };
    cat2.jumps(); // 2
    console.log(cat2); // { lives: 5, jumps: [Function: jumps] }

    const cat3 = {
        lives: 5,
        jumps: () => {
            const lives = 3;
            console.log(lives);
        }
    };
    cat3.jumps(); // 3
    console.log(cat3); // { lives: 5, jumps: [Function: jumps] }

    const cat4 = {
        lives: 5,
        jumps: function () {
            console.log(lives);
        }
    };
    cat4.jumps(); // 2
    console.log(cat4); // { lives: 5, jumps: [Function: jumps] }

    const cat5 = {
        lives: 5,
        jumps: function () {
            var lives = 4;
            console.log(lives);
        }
    };
    cat5.jumps(); // 4
    console.log(cat5); // { lives: 5, jumps: [Function: jumps] }

    const cat6 = {
        lives: 5,
        jumps: function () {

Commenting out code blocks in Atom

with all my respect with the comments above, no need to use a package :

1) click on Atom 
1.2) then ATL => the menu bar appear 
1.3) File > Settings  => settings appear
1.4) Keybindings > Search keybinding input => fill "comment"
1.5) you will see :

keybindings panel in atom editor

if you want to change the configuration, you just have to parameter your keymap file

Difference between binary semaphore and mutex

You can clearly remember difference by this:

  1. Mutex lock : is for protecting critical region, Mutex can't be used across processes, only used in single process

  2. Semaphore: is for signalling availability of a resource. Semaphore can be used both across processes and across processes.

Twitter Bootstrap - add top space between rows

Bootstrap3

CSS (gutter only, without margins around):

.row.row-gutter {
  margin-bottom: -15px;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.row.row-gutter > *[class^="col"] {
  margin-bottom: 15px;
}

CSS (equal margins around, 15px/2):

.row.row-margins {
  padding-top: 7px; /* or margin-top: 7px; */
  padding-bottom: 7px; /* or margin-bottom: 7px; */
}
.row.row-margins > *[class^="col"] {
  margin-top: 8px;
  margin-bottom: 8px;
}

Usage:

<div class="row row-gutter">
    <div class="col col-sm-9">first</div>
    <div class="col col-sm-3">second</div>
    <div class="col col-sm-12">third</div>
</div>

(with SASS or LESS 15px could be a variable from bootstrap)

T-test in Pandas

it depends what sort of t-test you want to do (one sided or two sided dependent or independent) but it should be as simple as:

from scipy.stats import ttest_ind

cat1 = my_data[my_data['Category']=='cat1']
cat2 = my_data[my_data['Category']=='cat2']

ttest_ind(cat1['values'], cat2['values'])
>>> (1.4927289925706944, 0.16970867501294376)

it returns a tuple with the t-statistic & the p-value

see here for other t-tests http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/stats.html

Replace Fragment inside a ViewPager

Some of the presented solutions helped me a lot to partially solve the problem but there is still one important thing missing in the solutions which has produced unexpected exceptions and black page content instead of fragment content in some cases.

The thing is that FragmentPagerAdapter class is using item ID to store cached fragments to FragmentManager. For this reason, you need to override also the getItemId(int position) method so that it returns e. g. position for top-level pages and 100 + position for details pages. Otherwise the previously created top-level fragment would be returned from the cache instead of detail-level fragment.

Furthermore, I'm sharing here a complete example how to implement tabs-like activity with Fragment pages using ViewPager and tab buttons using RadioGroup that allows replacement of top-level pages with detailed pages and also supports back button. This implementation supports only one level of back stacking (item list - item details) but multi-level back stacking implementation is straightforward. This example works pretty well in normal cases except of it is throwing a NullPointerException in case when you switch to e. g. second page, change the fragment of the first page (while not visible) and return back to the first page. I'll post a solution to this issue once I'll figure it out:

public class TabsActivity extends FragmentActivity {

  public static final int PAGE_COUNT = 3;
  public static final int FIRST_PAGE = 0;
  public static final int SECOND_PAGE = 1;
  public static final int THIRD_PAGE = 2;

  /**
   * Opens a new inferior page at specified tab position and adds the current page into back
   * stack.
   */
  public void startPage(int position, Fragment content) {
    // Replace page adapter fragment at position.
    mPagerAdapter.start(position, content);
  }

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Initialize basic layout.
    this.setContentView(R.layout.tabs_activity);

    // Add tab fragments to view pager.
    {
      // Create fragments adapter.
      mPagerAdapter = new PagerAdapter(pager);
      ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) super.findViewById(R.id.tabs_view_pager);
      pager.setAdapter(mPagerAdapter);

      // Update active tab in tab bar when page changes.
      pager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int index, float value, int nextIndex) {
          // Not used.
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int index) {

            R.id.tabs_radio_group);
          switch (index) {
            case 0: {
              tabs_radio_group.check(R.id.first_radio_button);
            }
            break;
            case 1: {
              tabs_radio_group.check(R.id.second_radio_button);
            }
            break;
            case 2: {
              tabs_radio_group.check(R.id.third_radio_button);

        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int index) {
          // Not used.
        }
      });
    }

    // Set "tabs" radio group on checked change listener that changes the displayed page.
    RadioGroup radio_group = (RadioGroup) this.findViewById(R.id.tabs_radio_group);
    radio_group.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
      @Override
      public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int id) {
        // Get view pager representing tabs.
        ViewPager view_pager = (ViewPager) TabsActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.tabs_view_pager);
        if (view_pager == null) {

Display images in asp.net mvc

It is possible to use a handler to do this, even in MVC4. Here's an example from one i made earlier:

public class ImageHandler : IHttpHandler
{
    byte[] bytes;

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        int param;
        if (int.TryParse(context.Request.QueryString["id"], out param))
        {
            using (var db = new MusicLibContext())
            {
                if (param == -1)
                {
                    bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Images/add.png"));

                    context.Response.ContentType = "image/png";
                }
                else
                {
                    var data = (from x in db.Images
                                where x.ImageID == (short)param
                                select x).FirstOrDefault();

                    bytes = data.ImageData;

                    context.Response.ContentType = "image/" + data.ImageFileType;
                }

                context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
                context.Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);
                context.Response.Flush();
                context.Response.End();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //image not found
        }
    }

    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

In the view, i added the ID of the photo to the query string of the handler.

Dynamically change color to lighter or darker by percentage CSS (Javascript)

Not directly, no. But you could use a site, such as colorschemedesigner.com, that will give you your base color and then give you the hex and rgb codes for different ranges of your base color.

Once I find my color schemes for my site, I put the hex codes for the colors and name them inside a comment section at the top of my stylesheet.

Some other color scheme generators include:

Can you force a React component to rerender without calling setState?

forceUpdate should be avoided because it deviates from a React mindset. The React docs cite an example of when forceUpdate might be used:

By default, when your component's state or props change, your component will re-render. However, if these change implicitly (eg: data deep within an object changes without changing the object itself) or if your render() method depends on some other data, you can tell React that it needs to re-run render() by calling forceUpdate().

However, I'd like to propose the idea that even with deeply nested objects, forceUpdate is unnecessary. By using an immutable data source tracking changes becomes cheap; a change will always result in a new object so we only need to check if the reference to the object has changed. You can use the library Immutable JS to implement immutable data objects into your app.

Normally you should try to avoid all uses of forceUpdate() and only read from this.props and this.state in render(). This makes your component "pure" and your application much simpler and more efficient.forceUpdate()

Changing the key of the element you want re-rendered will work. Set the key prop on your element via state and then when you want to update set state to have a new key.

<Element key={this.state.key} /> 

Then a change occurs and you reset the key

this.setState({ key: Math.random() });

I want to note that this will replace the element that the key is changing on. An example of where this could be useful is when you have a file input field that you would like to reset after an image upload.

While the true answer to the OP's question would be forceUpdate() I have found this solution helpful in different situations. I also want to note that if you find yourself using forceUpdate you may want to review your code and see if there is another way to do things.

NOTE 1-9-2019:

The above (changing the key) will completely replace the element. If you find yourself updating the key to make changes happen you probably have an issue somewhere else in your code. Using Math.random() in key will re-create the element with each render. I would NOT recommend updating the key like this as react uses the key to determine the best way to re-render things.

How to correctly assign a new string value?

The first example doesn't work because you can't assign values to arrays - arrays work (sort of) like const pointers in this respect. What you can do though is copy a new value into the array:

strcpy(p.name, "Jane");

Char arrays are fine to use if you know the maximum size of the string in advance, e.g. in the first example you are 100% sure that the name will fit into 19 characters (not 20 because one character is always needed to store the terminating zero value).

Conversely, pointers are better if you don't know the possible maximum size of your string, and/or you want to optimize your memory usage, e.g. avoid reserving 512 characters for the name "John". However, with pointers you need to dynamically allocate the buffer they point to, and free it when not needed anymore, to avoid memory leaks.

Update: example of dynamically allocated buffers (using the struct definition in your 2nd example):

char* firstName = "Johnnie";
char* surname = "B. Goode";
person p;

p.name = malloc(strlen(firstName) + 1);
p.surname = malloc(strlen(surname) + 1);

p.age = 25;
strcpy(p.name, firstName);
strcpy(p.surname, surname);

printf("Name: %s; Age: %d\n",p.name,p.age);

free(p.surname);
free(p.name);

Using Mockito to mock classes with generic parameters

As the other answers mentioned, there's not a great way to use the mock() & spy() methods directly without unsafe generics access and/or suppressing generics warnings.

There is currently an open issue in the Mockito project (#1531) to add support for using the mock() & spy() methods without generics warnings. The issue was opened in November 2018, but there aren't any indications whether it will be prioritized.

Pandas - 'Series' object has no attribute 'colNames' when using apply()

When you use df.apply(), each row of your DataFrame will be passed to your lambda function as a pandas Series. The frame's columns will then be the index of the series and you can access values using series[label].

So this should work:

df['D'] = (df.apply(lambda x: myfunc(x[colNames[0]], x[colNames[1]]), axis=1)) 

.ssh directory not being created

I am assuming that you have enough permissions to create this directory.

To fix your problem, you can either ssh to some other location:

ssh [email protected]

and accept new key - it will create directory ~/.ssh and known_hosts underneath, or simply create it manually using

mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh

Note that chmod 700 is an important step!

After that, ssh-keygen should work without complaints.

PHP 7 RC3: How to install missing MySQL PDO

Had the same issue, resolved by actually enabling the extension in the php.ini with the right file name. It was listed as php_pdo_mysql.so but the module name in /lib/php/modules was called just pdo_mysql.so

So just remove the "php_" prefix from the php.ini file and then restart the httpd service and it worked like a charm.

Please note that I'm using Arch and thus path names and services may be different depending on your distrubution.

Zip lists in Python

I don't think zip returns a list. zip returns a generator. You have got to do list(zip(a, b)) to get a list of tuples.

zipped = zip(x, y)

Constructor of an abstract class in C#

Defining a constructor with public or internal storage class in an inheritable concrete class Thing effectively defines two methods:

  • A method (which I'll call InitializeThing) which acts upon this, has no return value, and can only be called from Thing's CreateThing and InitializeThing methods, and subclasses' InitializeXXX methods.

  • A method (which I'll call CreateThing) which returns an object of the constructor's designated type, and essentially behaves as:

    Thing CreateThing(int whatever)
    {
        Thing result = AllocateObject<Thing>();
        Thing.initializeThing(whatever);
    }
    

Abstract classes effectively create methods of only the first form. Conceptually, there's no reason why the two "methods" described above should need to have the same access specifiers; in practice, however, there's no way to specify their accessibility differently. Note that in terms of actual implementation, at least in .NET, CreateThing isn't really implemented as a callable method, but instead represents a code sequence which gets inserted at a newThing = new Thing(23); statement.

adb uninstall failed

It can be something as simple as typing the package name in the wrong case...

I had the same problem - turned out I was entering the package name in all lower case when the actual package name included upper case characters.

adb uninstall -k <packageName - eg. com.test.app>

( If you're explicitly uninstalling you probably don't want the -k which keeps the app data and cache directories around. )

Get first row of dataframe in Python Pandas based on criteria

For the point that 'returns the value as soon as you find the first row/record that meets the requirements and NOT iterating other rows', the following code would work:

def pd_iter_func(df):
    for row in df.itertuples():
        # Define your criteria here
        if row.A > 4 and row.B > 3:
            return row

It is more efficient than Boolean Indexing when it comes to a large dataframe.

To make the function above more applicable, one can implements lambda functions:

def pd_iter_func(df: DataFrame, criteria: Callable[[NamedTuple], bool]) -> Optional[NamedTuple]:
    for row in df.itertuples():
        if criteria(row):
            return row

pd_iter_func(df, lambda row: row.A > 4 and row.B > 3)

As mentioned in the answer to the 'mirror' question, pandas.Series.idxmax would also be a nice choice.

def pd_idxmax_func(df, mask):
    return df.loc[mask.idxmax()]

pd_idxmax_func(df, (df.A > 4) & (df.B > 3))

How to disable copy/paste from/to EditText

Here is a hack to disable "paste" popup. You have to override EditText method:

@Override
public int getSelectionStart() {
    for (StackTraceElement element : Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()) {
        if (element.getMethodName().equals("canPaste")) {
            return -1;
        }
    }
    return super.getSelectionStart();
}

Similar can be done for the other actions.

How to find Control in TemplateField of GridView?

If your GridView is databond, make an index column in the resultset you retrive like this:

select row_number() over(order by YourIdentityColumn asc)-1 as RowIndex, * from YourTable where [Expresion]

In the command control you want to use make the value of CommandArgument property equal to the row index of the DataSet table RowIndex like this:

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbnMsgSubj" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("MsgSubj") %>' Font-Underline="false" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("RowIndex") %>' />

Use the OnRowCommand event to fire on clicking the link button like this:

<asp:GridView ID="gvwStuMsgBoard" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" GridLines="Horizontal" BorderColor="Transparent" Width="100%" OnRowCommand="gvwStuMsgBoard_RowCommand">

Finally the code behind you can then do whatever you like when the event is triggered like this:

protected void gvwStuMsgBoard_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    Panel pnlMsgBody = (Panel)gvwStuMsgBoard.Rows[Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)].FindControl("pnlMsgBody");
    if(pnlMsgBody.Visible == false)
    {
        pnlMsgBody.Visible = true;
    }
    else
    {
        pnlMsgBody.Visible = false;
    }
}

$.get("data.php", function(data){
    var expected = ['justIn', 'recent', 'old'];
    var outString = '';
    $.each(expected, function(i, val){
        var contentArray = data[val];
        outString += '<ul><li><b>' + val + '</b>: ';
        $.each(contentArray, function(i1, val2){
            var textID = val2.textId;
            var text = val2.text;
            var textType = val2.textType;
            outString += '<br />('+textID+') '+'<i>'+text+'</i> '+textType;
        });
        outString += '</li></ul>';
    });
    $('#contentHere').append(outString);
}, 'json');

This produces this output:

<div id="contentHere"><ul>
<li><b>justIn</b>:
<br />
(123) <i>Hello</i> Greeting<br>
(514) <i>What's up?</i> Question<br>
(122) <i>Come over here</i> Order</li>
</ul><ul>
<li><b>recent</b>:
<br />
(1255) <i>Hello</i> Greeting<br>
(6564) <i>What's up?</i> Question<br>
(0192) <i>Come over here</i> Order</li>
</ul><ul>
<li><b>old</b>:
<br />
(5213) <i>Hello</i> Greeting<br>
(9758) <i>What's up?</i> Question<br>
(7655) <i>Come over here</i> Order</li>
</ul></div>

And looks like this:

  • justIn:
    (123) Hello Greeting
    (514) What's up? Question
    (122) Come over here Order
  • recent:
    (1255) Hello Greeting
    (6564) What's up? Question
    (0192) Come over here Order
  • old:
    (5213) Hello Greeting
    (9758) What's up? Question
    (7655) Come over here Order

Also, remember to set the contentType as 'json'

Selenium: Can I set any of the attribute value of a WebElement in Selenium?

PHP call Class method / function

Create object for the class and call, if you want to call it from other pages.

$obj = new Functions();

$var = $obj->filter($_GET['params']);

Or inside the same class instances [ methods ], try this.

$var = $this->filter($_GET['params']);

How to calculate the running time of my program?

You need to get the time when the application starts, and compare that to the time when the application ends.

Wen the app starts:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

// Get start time (this needs to be a global variable).
Date startDate = calendar.getTime();

When the application ends

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

// Get start time (this needs to be a global variable).
Date endDate = calendar.getTime();

To get the difference (in millseconds), do this:

long sumDate = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();

How to send only one UDP packet with netcat?

I did not find the -q1 option on my netcat. Instead I used the -w1 option. Below is the bash script I did to send an udp packet to any host and port:

Linking static libraries to other static libraries

If you are using Visual Studio then yes, you can do this.

The library builder tool that comes with Visual Studio allows you to join libraries together on the command line. I don't know of any way to do this in the visual editor though.

Android Paint: .measureText() vs .getTextBounds()

My experience with this is that getTextBounds will return that absolute minimal bounding rect that encapsulates the text, not necessarily the measured width used when rendering. I also want to say that measureText assumes one line.

In order to get accurate measuring results, you should use the StaticLayout to render the text and pull out the measurements.

For example:

String text = "text";
TextPaint textPaint = textView.getPaint();
int boundedWidth = 1000;

StaticLayout layout = new StaticLayout(text, textPaint, boundedWidth , Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL, 1.0f, 0.0f, false);
int height = layout.getHeight();

How to cancel a local git commit

You can tell Git what to do with your index (set of files that will become the next commit) and working directory when performing git reset by using one of the parameters:

--soft: Only commits will be reseted, while Index and the working directory are not altered.

--mixed: This will reset the index to match the HEAD, while working directory will not be touched. All the changes will stay in the working directory and appear as modified.

--hard: It resets everything (commits, index, working directory) to match the HEAD.

In your case, I would use git reset --soft to keep your modified changes in Index and working directory. Be sure to check this out for a more detailed explanation.

How to set min-font-size in CSS

CSS Solution:

.h2{
  font-size: 2vw
}
@media (min-width: 700px) {
  .h2{
    /* Minimum font size */
    font-size: 14px
  }
}
@media (max-width: 1200px) {
  .h2{
    /* Maximum font size */
    font-size: 24px
  }
}

Just in case if some need scss mixin:

@mixin responsive-font($responsive, $min, $max: false, $fallback: false) {
  $responsive-unitless: $responsive / ($responsive - $responsive + 1);
  $dimension: if(unit($responsive) == 'vh', 'height', 'width');
  $min-breakpoint: $min / $responsive-unitless * 100;

How to write data to a text file without overwriting the current data

Best thing is

File.AppendAllText("c:\\file.txt","Your Text");

Git fast forward VS no fast forward merge

I can give an example commonly seen in project.

Here, option --no-ff (i.e. true merge) creates a new commit with multiple parents, and provides a better history tracking. Otherwise, --ff (i.e. fast-forward merge) is by default.

$ git checkout master
$ git checkout -b newFeature
$ ...
$ git commit -m 'work from day 1'
$ ...
$ git commit -m 'work from day 2'
$ ...
$ git commit -m 'finish the feature'
$ git checkout master
$ git merge --no-ff newFeature -m 'add new feature'
$ git log
// something like below
commit 'add new feature'         // => commit created at merge with proper message
commit 'finish the feature'
commit 'work from day 2'
commit 'work from day 1'
$ gitk                           // => see details with graph

$ git checkout -b anotherFeature        // => create a new branch (*)
$ ...
$ git commit -m 'work from day 3'
$ ...
$ git commit -m 'work from day 4'
$ ...
$ git commit -m 'finish another feature'
$ git checkout master
$ git merge anotherFeature       // --ff is by default, message will be ignored
$ git log
// something like below
commit 'work from day 4'
commit 'work from day 3'
commit 'add new feature'
commit 'finish the feature'
commit ...
$ gitk                           // => see details with graph

(*) Note that here if the newFeature branch is re-used, instead of creating a new branch, git will have to do a --no-ff merge anyway. This means fast forward merge is not always eligible.

How do I toggle an element's class in pure JavaScript?

    });
};

how to mysqldump remote db from local machine

Bassed on this page here:

Compare two MySQL databases

I modified it so you can use ddbb in diferent hosts.


#!/bin/sh

echo "Usage: dbdiff [user1:pass1@dbname1:host] [user2:pass2@dbname2:host] [ignore_table1:ignore_table2...]"

Access non-numeric Object properties by index?

If you are not sure Object.keys() is going to return you the keys in the right order, you can try this logic instead

var keys = []
var obj = {
    'key1' : 'value1',
    'key2' : 'value2',
    'key3' : 'value3',
}
for (var key in obj){
    keys.push(key)
}
console.log(obj[keys[1]])
console.log(obj[keys[2]])
console.log(obj[keys[3]])

Android Respond To URL in Intent

You might need to allow different combinations of data in your intent filter to get it to work in different cases (http/ vs https/, www. vs no www., etc).

For example, I had to do the following for an app which would open when the user opened a link to Google Drive forms (www.docs.google.com/forms)

Note that path prefix is optional.

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

            <data android:scheme="http" />
            <data android:scheme="https" />

            <data android:host="www.docs.google.com" />
            <data android:host="docs.google.com" />

            <data android:pathPrefix="/forms" />
        </intent-filter>

Undo a Git merge that hasn't been pushed yet

The simplest of the simplest chance, much simpler than anything said here:

Remove your local branch (local, not remote) and pull it again. This way you'll undo the changes on your master branch and anyone will be affected by the change you don't want to push. Start it over.

How to get sp_executesql result into a variable?

This was a long time ago, so not sure if this is still needed, but you could use @@ROWCOUNT variable to see how many rows were affected with the previous sql statement.

This is helpful when for example you construct a dynamic Update statement and run it with exec. @@ROWCOUNT would show how many rows were updated.

What is the use of ObservableCollection in .net?

Explanation without Code

For those wanting an answer without any code behind it (boom-tish) with a story (to help you remember):

Normal Collections - No Notifications

Every now and then I go to NYC and my wife asks me to buy stuff. So I take a shopping list with me. The list has a lot of things on there like:

  1. Louis Vuitton handbag ($5000)
  2. Clive Christian’s Imperial Majesty Perfume ($215,000 )
  3. Gucci Sunglasses ($2000)

hahaha well I"m not buying that stuff. So I cross them off and remove them from the list and I add instead:

  1. 12 dozen Titleist golf balls.
  2. 12 lb bowling ball.

So I usually come home without the goods and she's never pleased. The thing is that she doesn't know about what i take off the list and what I add onto it; she gets no notifications.

The ObservableCollection - notifications when changes made

Now, whenever I remove something from the list: she get's a notification on her phone (i.e. sms / email etc)!

The observable collection works just the same way. If you add or remove something to or from it: someone is notified. And when they are notified, well then they call you and you'll get a ear-full. Of course the consequences are customisable via the event handler.

That sums it all up!

gitignore all files of extension in directory

To ignore untracked files just go to .git/info/exclude. Exclude is a file with a list of ignored extensions or files.

Setting a PHP $_SESSION['var'] using jQuery

Might want to try putting the PHP function on another PHP page, and use an AJAX call to set the variable.

How do I show the number keyboard on an EditText in android?

EditText number1 = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.edittext); 
number1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

Why is AJAX returning HTTP status code 0?

For me, the problem was caused by the hosting company (Godaddy) treating POST operations which had substantial response data (anything more than tens of kilobytes) as some sort of security threat. If more than 6 of these occurred in one minute, the host refused to execute the PHP code that responded to the POST request during the next minute. I'm not entirely sure what the host did instead, but I did see, with tcpdump, a TCP reset packet coming as the response to a POST request from the browser. This caused the http status code returned in a jqXHR object to be 0.

Changing the operations from POST to GET fixed the problem. It's not clear why Godaddy impose this limit, but changing the code was easier than changing the host.

Android ADB doesn't see device

Some of these answers are pretty old, so maybe it's changed in recent times, but I had similar issues and I solved it by:

  1. Loading the USB drivers for the device - Samsung S6
  2. Enable Developer tools on the phone.
  3. On the device, go to Settings - Applications - Development - Check USB Debugging
  4. Reboot O/S (Windows 7 - 64bit)
  5. Open Visual Studio

I think it was step 3 that had me stumped for a while. I'd enabled developer tools, but I didn't specifically enable the "USB Debugging" but.

How to get the dimensions of a tensor (in TensorFlow) at graph construction time?

I see most people confused about tf.shape(tensor) and tensor.get_shape() Let's make it clear:

  1. tf.shape

tf.shape is used for dynamic shape. If your tensor's shape is changable, use it. An example: a input is an image with changable width and height, we want resize it to half of its size, then we can write something like:
new_height = tf.shape(image)[0] / 2

  1. tensor.get_shape

tensor.get_shape is used for fixed shapes, which means the tensor's shape can be deduced in the graph.

Conclusion: tf.shape can be used almost anywhere, but t.get_shape only for shapes can be deduced from graph.

Executing JavaScript without a browser?

I found this related question on the topic, but if you want direct links, here they are:

  • You can install Rhino as others have pointed out. This post shows an easy way to get it up and running and how to alias a command to invoke it easily
  • If you're on a Mac, you can use JavaScriptCore, which invokes WebKit's JavaScript engine. Here's a post on it
  • You can use Chome/Google's V8 interpreter as well. Here are instructions
  • The JavaScript as OSA is interesting because it lets you (AFAIK) interact with scriptable OS X apps as though you were in AppleScript (without the terrible syntax)

I'm surprised node.js doesn't come with a shell, but I guess it's really more like an epoll/selector-based callback/event-oriented webserver, so perhaps it doesn't need the full JS feature set, but I'm not too familiar with its inner workings.

Since you seem interested in node.js and since it's based on V8, it might be best to follow those instructions on getting a V8 environment set up so you can have a consistent basis for your JavaScript programming (I should hope JSC and V8 are mostly the same, but I'm not sure).

INSERT INTO vs SELECT INTO

The primary difference is that SELECT INTO MyTable will create a new table called MyTable with the results, while INSERT INTO requires that MyTable already exists.

You would use SELECT INTO only in the case where the table didn't exist and you wanted to create it based on the results of your query. As such, these two statements really are not comparable. They do very different things.

In general, SELECT INTO is used more often for one off tasks, while INSERT INTO is used regularly to add rows to tables.

EDIT:
While you can use CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO to accomplish what SELECT INTO does, with SELECT INTO you do not have to know the table definition beforehand. SELECT INTO is probably included in SQL because it makes tasks like ad hoc reporting or copying tables much easier.

How do I rename a column in a SQLite database table?

CASE 1 : SQLite 3.25.0+

Only the Version 3.25.0 of SQLite supports renaming columns. If your device is meeting this requirement, things are quite simple. The below query would solve your problem:

ALTER TABLE "MyTable" RENAME COLUMN "OldColumn" TO "NewColumn";

CASE 2 : SQLite Older Versions

You have to follow a different Approach to get the result which might be a little tricky

For example, if you have a table like this:

CREATE TABLE student(Name TEXT, Department TEXT, Location TEXT)

And if you wish to change the name of the column Location

Step 1: Rename the original table:

ALTER TABLE student RENAME TO student_temp;

Step 2: Now create a new table student with correct column name:

CREATE TABLE student(Name TEXT, Department TEXT, Address TEXT)

Step 3: Copy the data from the original table to the new table:

INSERT INTO student(Name, Department, Address) SELECT Name, Department, Location FROM student_temp;

Note: The above command should be all one line.

Step 4: Drop the original table:

DROP TABLE student_temp;

With these four steps you can manually change any SQLite table. Keep in mind that you will also need to recreate any indexes, viewers or triggers on the new table as well.

How can I select from list of values in Oracle

You don't need to create any stored types, you can evaluate Oracle's built-in collection types.

select distinct column_value from table(sys.odcinumberlist(1,1,2,3,3,4,4,5))

C# difference between == and Equals()

== and .Equals are both dependent upon the behavior defined in the actual type and the actual type at the call site. Both are just methods / operators which can be overridden on any type and given any behavior the author so desires. In my experience, I find it's common for people to implement .Equals on an object but neglect to implement operator ==. This means that .Equals will actually measure the equality of the values while == will measure whether or not they are the same reference.

When I'm working with a new type whose definition is in flux or writing generic algorithms, I find the best practice is the following

  • If I want to compare references in C#, I use Object.ReferenceEquals directly (not needed in the generic case)
  • If I want to compare values I use EqualityComparer<T>.Default

In some cases when I feel the usage of == is ambiguous I will explicitly use Object.Reference equals in the code to remove the ambiguity.

Eric Lippert recently did a blog post on the subject of why there are 2 methods of equality in the CLR. It's worth the read

How to append a newline to StringBuilder

Another option is to use Apache Commons StrBuilder, which has the functionality that's lacking in StringBuilder.

StrBuilder.appendLn()

As of version 3.6 StrBuilder has been deprecated in favour of TextStringBuilder which has the same functionality

How can I do GUI programming in C?

Use win APIs in your main function:

  1. RegisterClassEx() note: you have to provide a pointer to a function (usually called WndProc) which handles windows messages such as WM_CREATE, WM_COMMAND etc
  2. CreateWindowEx()
  3. ShowWindow()
  4. UpdateWindow()

Then write another function which handles win's messages (mentioned in #1). When you receive the message WM_CREATE you have to call CreateWindow(). The class is what control is that window, for example "edit" is a text box and "button" is a.. button :). You have to specify an ID for each control (of your choice but unique among all). CreateWindow() returns a handle to that control, which needs to be memorized. When the user clicks on a control you receive the WM_COMMAND message with the ID of that control. Here you can handle that event. You might find useful SetWindowText() and GetWindowText() which allows you to set/get the text of any control.
You will need only the win32 SDK. You can get it here.

How to install Python packages from the tar.gz file without using pip install

Install it by running

python setup.py install

Better yet, you can download from github. Install git via apt-get install git and then follow this steps:

git clone https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn.git
cd seaborn
python setup.py install

How to return a value from try, catch, and finally?

It is because you are in a try statement. Since there could be an error, sum might not get initialized, so put your return statement in the finally block, that way it will for sure be returned.

Make sure that you initialize sum outside the try/catch/finally so that it is in scope.

Spring Boot Remove Whitelabel Error Page

This depends on your spring boot version:

When SpringBootVersion <= 1.2 then use error.whitelabel.enabled = false

When SpringBootVersion >= 1.3 then use server.error.whitelabel.enabled = false

Get protocol + host name from URL

This is a bit obtuse, but uses urlparse in both directions:

import urlparse
def uri2schemehostname(uri):
    urlparse.urlunparse(urlparse.urlparse(uri)[:2] + ("",) * 4)

that odd ("",) * 4 bit is because urlparse expects a sequence of exactly len(urlparse.ParseResult._fields) = 6

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE not printing

  1. Ensure that you have your Dbms Output window open through the view option in the menubar.
  2. Click on the green '+' sign and add your database name.
  3. Write 'DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE;' within your procedure as the first line. Hope this solves your problem.

Where do I call the BatchNormalization function in Keras?

This thread is misleading. Tried commenting on Lucas Ramadan's answer, but I don't have the right privileges yet, so I'll just put this here.

Batch normalization works best after the activation function, and here or here is why: it was developed to prevent internal covariate shift. Internal covariate shift occurs when the distribution of the activations of a layer shifts significantly throughout training. Batch normalization is used so that the distribution of the inputs (and these inputs are literally the result of an activation function) to a specific layer doesn't change over time due to parameter updates from each batch (or at least, allows it to change in an advantageous way). It uses batch statistics to do the normalizing, and then uses the batch normalization parameters (gamma and beta in the original paper) "to make sure that the transformation inserted in the network can represent the identity transform" (quote from original paper). But the point is that we're trying to normalize the inputs to a layer, so it should always go immediately before the next layer in the network. Whether or not that's after an activation function is dependent on the architecture in question.

How do I copy a folder from remote to local using scp?

And if you have one hell of a files to download from the remote location and if you don't much care about security, try changing the scp default encryption (Triple-DES) to something like 'blowfish'.

This will reduce file copying time drastically.

scp -c blowfish -r [email protected]:/path/to/foo /home/user/Desktop/

Should I use @EJB or @Inject

@Inject can inject any bean, while @EJB can only inject EJBs. You can use either to inject EJBs, but I'd prefer @Inject everywhere.

How many values can be represented with n bits?

The thing you are missing is which encoding scheme is being used. There are different ways to encode binary numbers. Look into signed number representations. For 9 bits, the ranges and the amount of numbers that can be represented will differ depending on the system used.

CSS3 selector :first-of-type with class name?

This it not possible to use the CSS3 selector :first-of-type to select the first element with a given class name.

However, if the targeted element has a previous element sibling, you can combine the negation CSS pseudo-class and the adjacent sibling selectors to match an element that doesn't immediately have a previous element with the same class name :

:not(.myclass1) + .myclass1

Full working code example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
p:first-of-type {color:blue}_x000D_
p:not(.myclass1) + .myclass1 { color: red }_x000D_
p:not(.myclass2) + .myclass2 { color: green }
_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
  <div>This text should appear as normal</div>_x000D_
  <p>This text should be blue.</p>_x000D_
  <p class="myclass1">This text should appear red.</p>_x000D_
  <p class="myclass2">This text should appear green.</p>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How can I install a local gem?

Also, you can use gem install --local path_to_gem/filename.gem

This will skip the usual gem repository scan that happens when you leave off --local.

You can find other magic with gem install --help.

Iterate over object keys in node.js

Also remember that you can pass a second argument to the .forEach() function specifying the object to use as the this keyword.

// myOjbect is the object you want to iterate.
// Notice the second argument (secondArg) we passed to .forEach.
Object.keys(myObject).forEach(function(element, key, _array) {
  // element is the name of the key.
  // key is just a numerical value for the array
  // _array is the array of all the keys

  // this keyword = secondArg
  this.foo;
  this.bar();
}, secondArg);

Download Excel file via AJAX MVC

I used the solution posted by CSL but I would recommend you dont store the file data in Session during the whole session. By using TempData the file data is automatically removed after the next request (which is the GET request for the file). You could also manage removal of the file data in Session in download action.

Session could consume much memory/space depending on SessionState storage and how many files are exported during the session and if you have many users.

I've updated the serer side code from CSL to use TempData instead.

public ActionResult PostReportPartial(ReportVM model){

   // Validate the Model is correct and contains valid data
   // Generate your report output based on the model parameters
   // This can be an Excel, PDF, Word file - whatever you need.

   // As an example lets assume we've generated an EPPlus ExcelPackage

   ExcelPackage workbook = new ExcelPackage();
   // Do something to populate your workbook

   // Generate a new unique identifier against which the file can be stored
   string handle = Guid.NewGuid().ToString()

   using(MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream()){
        workbook.SaveAs(memoryStream);
        memoryStream.Position = 0;
        TempData[handle] = memoryStream.ToArray();
   }      

   // Note we are returning a filename as well as the handle
   return new JsonResult() { 
         Data = new { FileGuid = handle, FileName = "TestReportOutput.xlsx" }
   };

}

[HttpGet]
public virtual ActionResult Download(string fileGuid, string fileName)
{   
   if(TempData[fileGuid] != null){
        byte[] data = TempData[fileGuid] as byte[];
        return File(data, "application/vnd.ms-excel", fileName);
   }   
   else{
        // Problem - Log the error, generate a blank file,
        //           redirect to another controller action - whatever fits with your application
        return new EmptyResult();
   }
}

Encode a FileStream to base64 with c#

You may try something like that:

    public Stream ConvertToBase64(Stream stream)
    {
        Byte[] inArray = new Byte[(int)stream.Length];
        Char[] outArray = new Char[(int)(stream.Length * 1.34)];
        stream.Read(inArray, 0, (int)stream.Length);
        Convert.ToBase64CharArray(inArray, 0, inArray.Length, outArray, 0);
        return new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(outArray));
    }

How to switch a user per task or set of tasks?

Calling a Sub and returning a value

Private Sub Main()
    Dim value = getValue()

End Sub

Private Function getValue() As Integer
    Return 3
End Function

Beginner question: returning a boolean value from a function in Python

Ignoring the refactoring issues, you need to understand functions and return values. You don't need a global at all. Ever. You can do this:

def rps():
    # Code to determine if player wins
    if player_wins:
        return True

    return False

Then, just assign a value to the variable outside this function like so:

player_wins = rps()

It will be assigned the return value (either True or False) of the function you just called.


After the comments, I decided to add that idiomatically, this would be better expressed thus:

 def rps(): 
     # Code to determine if player wins, assigning a boolean value (True or False)
     # to the variable player_wins.

     return player_wins

 pw = rps()

This assigns the boolean value of player_wins (inside the function) to the pw variable outside the function.

Determining type of an object in ruby

Oftentimes in Ruby, you don't actually care what the object's class is, per se, you just care that it responds to a certain method. This is known as Duck Typing and you'll see it in all sorts of Ruby codebases.

So in many (if not most) cases, its best to use Duck Typing using #respond_to?(method):

object.respond_to?(:to_i)

How to add a new schema to sql server 2008?

I use something like this:

Python speed testing - Time Difference - milliseconds

Since Python 2.7 there's the timedelta.total_seconds() method. So, to get the elapsed milliseconds:

>>> import datetime
>>> a = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> b = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> delta = b - a
>>> print delta
0:00:05.077263
>>> int(delta.total_seconds() * 1000) # milliseconds
5077

Check whether IIS is installed or not?

Refer this a step by step approach:

For many users you have to enable the windows feature on then check IIS and then go with RUN followed by searching for inetmgr.

How to create <input type=“text”/> dynamically

The core idea of the solution is:

  • create a new input element
  • Add the type text
  • append the element to the DOM

This can be done via this simple script:

var input = document.createElement('input');
input.setAttribute('type', 'text');
document.getElementById('parent').appendChild(input);

Now the question is, how to render this process dynamic. As stated in the question, there is another input where the user insert the number of input to generate. This can be done as follows:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function renderInputs(el){
  var n = el.value && parseInt(el.value, 10);
  if(isNaN(n)){
    return;
  }
  
  var input;
  var parent = document.getElementById("parent");
  
  cleanDiv(parent);
  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    input = document.createElement('input');
    input.setAttribute('type', 'text');
    parent.appendChild(input);
  }
}

function cleanDiv(div){
  div.innerHTML = '';
}
_x000D_
Insert number of input to generate: </br>
<input type="text" onchange="renderInputs(this)"/>

<div id="parent">
Generated inputs:
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

but usually adding just an input is not really usefull, it would be better to add a name to the input, so that it can be easily sent as a form. This snippet add also a name:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function renderInputs(el){
  var n = el.value;
  var input, label;
  var parent = document.getElementById("parent");
  cleanDiv(parent);
  
  el.value.split(',').forEach(function(name){
    input = document.createElement('input');
    input.setAttribute('type', 'text');
    input.setAttribute('name', name);
    label = document.createElement('label');
    label.setAttribute('for', name);
    label.innerText = name;
    parent.appendChild(label);
    parent.appendChild(input);
    parent.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
  });
}

function cleanDiv(div){
  div.innerHTML = '';
}
_x000D_
Insert the names, separated by comma, of the inputs to generate: </br>
<input type="text" onchange="renderInputs(this)"/>
<br>
Generated inputs: </br>
<div id="parent">

</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

What are 'get' and 'set' in Swift?

variable declares and call like this in a class

class X {
    var x: Int = 3

}
var y = X()
print("value of x is: ", y.x)

//value of x is:  3

now you want to program to make the default value of x more than or equal to 3. Now take the hypothetical case if x is less than 3, your program will fail. so, you want people to either put 3 or more than 3. Swift got it easy for you and it is important to understand this bit-advance way of dating the variable value because they will extensively use in iOS development. Now let's see how get and set will be used here.

class X {
    var _x: Int = 3
    var x: Int {
        get {
            return _x
        }
        set(newVal) {  //set always take 1 argument
            if newVal >= 3 {
             _x = newVal //updating _x with the input value by the user
            print("new value is: ", _x)
            }
            else {
                print("error must be greater than 3")
            }
        }
    }
}
let y = X()
y.x = 1
print(y.x) //error must be greater than 3
y.x = 8 // //new value is: 8

if you still have doubts, just remember, the use of get and set is to update any variable the way we want it to be updated. get and set will give you better control to rule your logic. Powerful tool hence not easily understandable.
