What does \u003C mean?

It is a unicode char \u003C = <

What is the best workaround for the WCF client `using` block issue?

Given a choice between the solution advocated by IServiceOriented.com and the solution advocated by David Barret's blog, I prefer the simplicity offered by overriding the client's Dispose() method. This allows me to continue to use the using() statement as one would expect with a disposable object. However, as @Brian pointed out, this solution contains a race condition in that the State might not be faulted when it is checked but could be by the time Close() is called, in which case the CommunicationException still occurs.

So, to get around this, I've employed a solution that mixes the best of both worlds.

void IDisposable.Dispose()
{
    bool success = false;
    try 
    {
        if (State != CommunicationState.Faulted) 
        {
            Close();
            success = true;
        }
    } 
    finally 
    {
        if (!success) 
            Abort();
    }
}

How do I execute a stored procedure in a SQL Agent job?

You just need to add this line to the window there:

exec (your stored proc name) (and possibly add parameters)

What is your stored proc called, and what parameters does it expect?

How to use OpenCV SimpleBlobDetector

Note: all the examples here are using the OpenCV 2.X API.

In OpenCV 3.X, you need to use:

Ptr<SimpleBlobDetector> d = SimpleBlobDetector::create(params);

React Native Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached

If you are running your project in Docker, you should do the echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf and all other commands in the host machine, since the container will inherit that setting automatically (and doing it directly inside it will not work).

Hidden property of a button in HTML

It also works without jQuery if you do the following changes:

  1. Add type="button" to the edit button in order not to trigger submission of the form.

  2. Change the name of your function from change() to anything else.

  3. Don't use hidden="hidden", use CSS instead: style="display: none;".

The following code works for me:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="dba_style/buttons.css" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function do_change(){
document.getElementById("save").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("change").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("cancel").style.display = "block";
}
</script>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<div class="buttons">

<button type="button" class="regular" name="edit" id="edit" onclick="do_change(); return false;">
    <img src="dba_images/textfield_key.png" alt=""/>
    Edit
</button>

<button type="submit" class="positive" name="save" id="save" style="display:none;">
    <img src="dba_images/apply2.png" alt=""/>
    Save
</button>

<button class="regular" name="change" id="change" style="display:none;">
    <img src="dba_images/textfield_key.png" alt=""/>
    change
</button>

    <button class="negative" name="cancel" id="cancel" style="display:none;">
        <img src="dba_images/cross.png" alt=""/>
        Cancel
    </button>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript/jQuery: replace part of string?

You need to set the text after the replace call:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$('.element span').each(function() {_x000D_
  console.log($(this).text());_x000D_
  var text = $(this).text().replace('N/A, ', '');_x000D_
  $(this).text(text);_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<div class="element">_x000D_
  <span>N/A, Category</span>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Here's another cool way you can do it (hat tip @Felix King):

$(".element span").text(function(index, text) {
    return text.replace("N/A, ", "");
});

Why should I use a pointer rather than the object itself?

Preface

Java is nothing like C++, contrary to hype. The Java hype machine would like you to believe that because Java has C++ like syntax, that the languages are similar. Nothing can be further from the truth. This misinformation is part of the reason why Java programmers go to C++ and use Java-like syntax without understanding the implications of their code.

Onwards we go

But I can't figure out why should we do it this way. I would assume it has to do with efficiency and speed since we get direct access to the memory address. Am I right?

To the contrary, actually. The heap is much slower than the stack, because the stack is very simple compared to the heap. Automatic storage variables (aka stack variables) have their destructors called once they go out of scope. For example:

{
    std::string s;
}
// s is destroyed here

On the other hand, if you use a pointer dynamically allocated, its destructor must be called manually. delete calls this destructor for you.

{
    std::string* s = new std::string;
}
delete s; // destructor called

This has nothing to do with the new syntax prevalent in C# and Java. They are used for completely different purposes.

Benefits of dynamic allocation

1. You don't have to know the size of the array in advance

One of the first problems many C++ programmers run into is that when they are accepting arbitrary input from users, you can only allocate a fixed size for a stack variable. You cannot change the size of arrays either. For example:

char buffer[100];
std::cin >> buffer;
// bad input = buffer overflow

Of course, if you used an std::string instead, std::string internally resizes itself so that shouldn't be a problem. But essentially the solution to this problem is dynamic allocation. You can allocate dynamic memory based on the input of the user, for example:

int * pointer;
std::cout << "How many items do you need?";
std::cin >> n;
pointer = new int[n];

Side note: One mistake many beginners make is the usage of variable length arrays. This is a GNU extension and also one in Clang because they mirror many of GCC's extensions. So the following int arr[n] should not be relied on.

Because the heap is much bigger than the stack, one can arbitrarily allocate/reallocate as much memory as he/she needs, whereas the stack has a limitation.

2. Arrays are not pointers

How is this a benefit you ask? The answer will become clear once you understand the confusion/myth behind arrays and pointers. It is commonly assumed that they are the same, but they are not. This myth comes from the fact that pointers can be subscripted just like arrays and because of arrays decay to pointers at the top level in a function declaration. However, once an array decays to a pointer, the pointer loses its sizeof information. So sizeof(pointer) will give the size of the pointer in bytes, which is usually 8 bytes on a 64-bit system.

You cannot assign to arrays, only initialize them. For example:

int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // initialization 
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // The standard dictates that the size of the array
                             // be given by the amount of members in the initializer  
arr = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; // ERROR

On the other hand, you can do whatever you want with pointers. Unfortunately, because the distinction between pointers and arrays are hand-waved in Java and C#, beginners don't understand the difference.

3. Polymorphism

Java and C# have facilities that allow you to treat objects as another, for example using the as keyword. So if somebody wanted to treat an Entity object as a Player object, one could do Player player = Entity as Player; This is very useful if you intend to call functions on a homogeneous container that should only apply to a specific type. The functionality can be achieved in a similar fashion below:

std::vector<Base*> vector;
vector.push_back(&square);
vector.push_back(&triangle);
for (auto& e : vector)
{
     auto test = dynamic_cast<Triangle*>(e); // I only care about triangles
     if (!test) // not a triangle
        e.GenericFunction();
     else
        e.TriangleOnlyMagic();
}

So say if only Triangles had a Rotate function, it would be a compiler error if you tried to call it on all objects of the class. Using dynamic_cast, you can simulate the as keyword. To be clear, if a cast fails, it returns an invalid pointer. So !test is essentially a shorthand for checking if test is NULL or an invalid pointer, which means the cast failed.

Benefits of automatic variables

After seeing all the great things dynamic allocation can do, you're probably wondering why wouldn't anyone NOT use dynamic allocation all the time? I already told you one reason, the heap is slow. And if you don't need all that memory, you shouldn't abuse it. So here are some disadvantages in no particular order:

  • It is error-prone. Manual memory allocation is dangerous and you are prone to leaks. If you are not proficient at using the debugger or valgrind (a memory leak tool), you may pull your hair out of your head. Luckily RAII idioms and smart pointers alleviate this a bit, but you must be familiar with practices such as The Rule Of Three and The Rule Of Five. It is a lot of information to take in, and beginners who either don't know or don't care will fall into this trap.

  • It is not necessary. Unlike Java and C# where it is idiomatic to use the new keyword everywhere, in C++, you should only use it if you need to. The common phrase goes, everything looks like a nail if you have a hammer. Whereas beginners who start with C++ are scared of pointers and learn to use stack variables by habit, Java and C# programmers start by using pointers without understanding it! That is literally stepping off on the wrong foot. You must abandon everything you know because the syntax is one thing, learning the language is another.

1. (N)RVO - Aka, (Named) Return Value Optimization

One optimization many compilers make are things called elision and return value optimization. These things can obviate unnecessary copys which is useful for objects that are very large, such as a vector containing many elements. Normally the common practice is to use pointers to transfer ownership rather than copying the large objects to move them around. This has lead to the inception of move semantics and smart pointers.

If you are using pointers, (N)RVO does NOT occur. It is more beneficial and less error-prone to take advantage of (N)RVO rather than returning or passing pointers if you are worried about optimization. Error leaks can happen if the caller of a function is responsible for deleteing a dynamically allocated object and such. It can be difficult to track the ownership of an object if pointers are being passed around like a hot potato. Just use stack variables because it is simpler and better.

How to filter multiple values (OR operation) in angularJS

I wrote this for strings AND functionality (I know it's not the question but I searched for it and got here), maybe it can be expanded.

String.prototype.contains = function(str) {
  return this.indexOf(str) != -1;
};

String.prototype.containsAll = function(strArray) {
  for (var i = 0; i < strArray.length; i++) {
    if (!this.contains(strArray[i])) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}

app.filter('filterMultiple', function() {
  return function(items, filterDict) {
    return items.filter(function(item) {
      for (filterKey in filterDict) {
        if (filterDict[filterKey] instanceof Array) {
          if (!item[filterKey].containsAll(filterDict[filterKey])) {
            return false;
          }
        } else {
          if (!item[filterKey].contains(filterDict[filterKey])) {
            return false;
          }
        }
      }
      return true;
    });  
  };
});

Usage:

<li ng-repeat="x in array | filterMultiple:{key1: value1, key2:[value21, value22]}">{{x.name}}</li>

What does "zend_mm_heap corrupted" mean

Some of tips that may helps some one

fedora 20, php 5.5.18

public function testRead() {
    $ri = new MediaItemReader(self::getMongoColl('Media'));

    foreach ($ri->dataReader(10) as $data) {
       // ...
    }
}

public function dataReader($numOfItems) {
    $cursor = $this->getStorage()->find()->limit($numOfItems);

    // here is the first place where "zend_mm_heap corrupted" error occurred
    // var_dump() inside foreach-loop and generator
    var_dump($cursor); 

    foreach ($cursor as $data) {
        // ...
        // and this is the second place where "zend_mm_heap corrupted" error occurred
        $data['Geo'] = [
            // try to access [0] index that is absent in ['Geo']
            'lon' => $data['Geo'][0],
            'lat' => $data['Geo'][1]
        ];
        // ...
        // Generator is used  !!!
        yield $data;
    }
}

using var_dummp() actually not an error, it was placed just for debugging and will be removed on production code. But real place where zend_mm_heap was happened is the second place.

How to store a list in a column of a database table

What I have seen many people do is this (it may not be the best approach, correct me if I am wrong):

The table which I am using in the example is given below(the table includes nicknames that you have given to your specific girlfriends. Each girlfriend has a unique id):

nicknames(id,seq_no,names)

Suppose, you want to store many nicknames under an id. This is why we have included a seq_no field.

Now, fill these values to your table:

(1,1,'sweetheart'), (1,2,'pumpkin'), (2,1,'cutie'), (2,2,'cherry pie')

If you want to find all the names that you have given to your girl friend id 1 then you can use:

select names from nicknames where id = 1;

Case insensitive std::string.find()

Why not just convert both strings to lowercase before you call find()?

Notice:

Casting variables in Java

Casting in Java isn't magic, it's you telling the compiler that an Object of type A is actually of more specific type B, and thus gaining access to all the methods on B that you wouldn't have had otherwise. You're not performing any kind of magic or conversion when performing casting, you're essentially telling the compiler "trust me, I know what I'm doing and I can guarantee you that this Object at this line is actually an <Insert cast type here>." For example:

Object o = "str";
String str = (String)o;

The above is fine, not magic and all well. The object being stored in o is actually a string, and therefore we can cast to a string without any problems.

There's two ways this could go wrong. Firstly, if you're casting between two types in completely different inheritance hierarchies then the compiler will know you're being silly and stop you:

String o = "str";
Integer str = (Integer)o; //Compilation fails here

Secondly, if they're in the same hierarchy but still an invalid cast then a ClassCastException will be thrown at runtime:

Number o = new Integer(5);
Double n = (Double)o; //ClassCastException thrown here

This essentially means that you've violated the compiler's trust. You've told it you can guarantee the object is of a particular type, and it's not.

Why do you need casting? Well, to start with you only need it when going from a more general type to a more specific type. For instance, Integer inherits from Number, so if you want to store an Integer as a Number then that's ok (since all Integers are Numbers.) However, if you want to go the other way round you need a cast - not all Numbers are Integers (as well as Integer we have Double, Float, Byte, Long, etc.) And even if there's just one subclass in your project or the JDK, someone could easily create another and distribute that, so you've no guarantee even if you think it's a single, obvious choice!

Regarding use for casting, you still see the need for it in some libraries. Pre Java-5 it was used heavily in collections and various other classes, since all collections worked on adding objects and then casting the result that you got back out the collection. However, with the advent of generics much of the use for casting has gone away - it has been replaced by generics which provide a much safer alternative, without the potential for ClassCastExceptions (in fact if you use generics cleanly and it compiles with no warnings, you have a guarantee that you'll never get a ClassCastException.)

Difference between array_push() and $array[] =

both are the same, but array_push makes a loop in it's parameter which is an array and perform $array[]=$element

Retrieve specific commit from a remote Git repository

I did a pull on my git repo:

git pull --rebase <repo> <branch>

Allowing git to pull in all the code for the branch and then I went to do a reset over to the commit that interested me.

git reset --hard <commit-hash>

Hope this helps.

OpenCV resize fails on large image with "error: (-215) ssize.area() > 0 in function cv::resize"

I know this is a very old thread but I had the same problem which was due spaces in the images names.

e.g.

Image name: "hello o.jpg"

weirdly, by removing the spaces the function worked just fine.

Image name: "hello_o.jpg"

What is a Maven artifact?

Q. What is Artifact in maven?
ANS: ARTIFACT is a JAR,(WAR or EAR), but it could be also something else. Each artifact has,

  • a group ID (like com.your.package),
  • an artifact ID (just a name), and
  • a version string.
    The three together uniquely identify the artifact.

Q.Why does Maven need them?
Ans: Maven is used to make them available for our applications.

Visual Studio Code open tab in new window

This is a very highly upvoted issue request in Github for Floating Windows.

Until they support it, you can try the following workarounds:

1. Duplicate Workspace in New Window [1]

The Duplicate Workspace in new Window Command was added in v1.24 (May 2018) to sort of address this.

  1. Open up Keyboard Shortcuts Ctrl + K, Ctrl + S
  2. Map workbench.action.duplicateWorkspaceInNewWindow to Ctrl + Shift + N or whatever you'd like

Duplicate Workspace in New Window

2. Open Active File in New Window [2]

Rather than manually open a new window and dragging the file, you can do it all with a single command.

  1. Open Active File in New Window Ctrl + K, O

Open Active File in New Window

3. New Window with Same File [3]

As AllenBooTung also pointed out, you can open/drag any file in a separate blank instance.

  1. Open New Window Ctrl + Shift + N
  2. Drag tab into new window

4. Open Workspace and Folder Simultaneously [4]

VS Code will not allow you to open the same folder in two different instances, but you can use Workspaces to open the same directory of files in a side by side instance.

  1. Open Folder Ctrl + K,Ctrl + O
  2. Save Current Project As a Workspace
  3. Open Folder Ctrl + K,Ctrl + O

For any workaround, also consider setting setting up auto save so the documents are kept in sync by updating the files.autoSave setting to afterDelay, onFocusChange, or onWindowChange

Xamarin.Forms ListView: Set the highlight color of a tapped item

iOS

Solution:

Within a custom ViewCellRenderer you can set the SelectedBackgroundView. Simply create a new UIView with a background color of your choice and you're set.

public override UITableViewCell GetCell(Cell item, UITableViewCell reusableCell, UITableView tv)
{
    var cell =  base.GetCell(item, reusableCell, tv);

    cell.SelectedBackgroundView = new UIView {
        BackgroundColor = UIColor.DarkGray,
    };

    return cell;
}

Result:

Note:

With Xamarin.Forms it seems to be important to create a new UIView rather than just setting the background color of the current one.


Android

Solution:

The solution I found on Android is a bit more complicated:

  1. Create a new drawable ViewCellBackground.xml within the Resources>drawable folder:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_pressed="true" >
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <solid android:color="#333333" />
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item>
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <solid android:color="#000000" />
            </shape>
        </item>
    </selector>
    

    It defines solid shapes with different colors for the default state and the "pressed" state of a UI element.

  2. Use a inherited class for the View of your ViewCell, e.g.:

    public class TouchableStackLayout: StackLayout
    {
    }
    
  3. Implement a custom renderer for this class setting the background resource:

    public class ElementRenderer: VisualElementRenderer<Xamarin.Forms.View>
    {
        protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Xamarin.Forms.View> e)
        {
            SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.ViewCellBackground);
    
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
        }
    }
    

Result:

Get refresh token google api

For those using the Google API Client Library for PHP and seeking offline access and refresh tokens beware as of the time of this writing the docs are showing incorrect examples.

currently it's showing:

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAuthConfig('client_secret.json');
$client->addScope(Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY);
$client->setRedirectUri('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/oauth2callback.php');
// offline access will give you both an access and refresh token so that
// your app can refresh the access token without user interaction.
$client->setAccessType('offline');
// Using "consent" ensures that your application always receives a refresh token.
// If you are not using offline access, you can omit this.
$client->setApprovalPrompt("consent");
$client->setIncludeGrantedScopes(true);   // incremental auth

source: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer#offline

All of this works great - except ONE piece

$client->setApprovalPrompt("consent");

After a bit of reasoning I changed this line to the following and EVERYTHING WORKED

$client->setPrompt("consent");

It makes sense since using the HTTP requests it was changed from approval_prompt=force to prompt=consent. So changing the setter method from setApprovalPrompt to setPrompt follows natural convention - BUT IT'S NOT IN THE DOCS!!! That I found at least.

Match multiline text using regular expression

First, you're using the modifiers under an incorrect assumption.

Pattern.MULTILINE or (?m) tells Java to accept the anchors ^ and $ to match at the start and end of each line (otherwise they only match at the start/end of the entire string).

Pattern.DOTALL or (?s) tells Java to allow the dot to match newline characters, too.

Second, in your case, the regex fails because you're using the matches() method which expects the regex to match the entire string - which of course doesn't work since there are some characters left after (\\W)*(\\S)* have matched.

So if you're simply looking for a string that starts with User Comments:, use the regex

^\s*User Comments:\s*(.*)

with the Pattern.DOTALL option:

Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("^\\s*User Comments:\\s+(.*)", Pattern.DOTALL);
Matcher regexMatcher = regex.matcher(subjectString);
if (regexMatcher.find()) {
    ResultString = regexMatcher.group(1);
} 

ResultString will then contain the text after User Comments:

How can I convert a Word document to PDF?

You can use Cloudmersive native Java library. It is free for up to 50,000 conversions/month and is much higher fidelity in my experience than other things like iText or Apache POI-based methods. The documents actually look the same as they do in Microsoft Word which for me is the key. Incidentally it can also do XLSX, PPTX, and the legacy DOC, XLS and PPT conversion to PDF.

Here is what the code looks like, first add your imports:

import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
import com.cloudmersive.client.ConvertDocumentApi;

Then convert a file:

ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();

// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");

ConvertDocumentApi apiInstance = new ConvertDocumentApi();
File inputFile = new File("/path/to/input.docx"); // File to perform the operation on.
try {
  byte[] result = apiInstance.convertDocumentDocxToPdf(inputFile);
  System.out.println(result);
} catch (ApiException e) {
  System.err.println("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi#convertDocumentDocxToPdf");
e.printStackTrace();
}

You can get an document conversion API key for free from the portal.

Partly JSON unmarshal into a map in Go

This can be accomplished by Unmarshaling into a map[string]json.RawMessage.

var objmap map[string]json.RawMessage
err := json.Unmarshal(data, &objmap)

To further parse sendMsg, you could then do something like:

var s sendMsg
err = json.Unmarshal(objmap["sendMsg"], &s)

For say, you can do the same thing and unmarshal into a string:

var str string
err = json.Unmarshal(objmap["say"], &str)

EDIT: Keep in mind you will also need to export the variables in your sendMsg struct to unmarshal correctly. So your struct definition would be:

type sendMsg struct {

No numeric types to aggregate - change in groupby() behaviour?

I got this error generating a data frame consisting of timestamps and data:

df = pd.DataFrame({'data':value}, index=pd.DatetimeIndex(timestamp))

Adding the suggested solution works for me:

df = pd.DataFrame({'data':value}, index=pd.DatetimeIndex(timestamp), dtype=float))

Thanks Chang She!

Set element width or height in Standards Mode

The style property lets you specify values for CSS properties.

The CSS width property takes a length as its value.

Lengths require units. In quirks mode, browsers tend to assume pixels if provided with an integer instead of a length. Specify units.

e1.style.width = "400px";

How do I assert equality on two classes without an equals method?

I generally implement this usecase using org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.EqualsBuilder

Assert.assertTrue(EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(expected,actual));

Case insensitive 'Contains(string)'

Just like this:

string s="AbcdEf";
if(s.ToLower().Contains("def"))
{
    Console.WriteLine("yes");
}

How to change progress bar's progress color in Android

Here is the code for changing the color of ProgressBar by programatically.

int colorCodeDark = Color.parseColor("#F44336");
progressBar.setIndeterminateTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(colorCodeDark));

Rails: update_attribute vs update_attributes

Please refer to update_attribute. On clicking show source you will get following code

      # File vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb, line 2614
2614:       def update_attribute(name, value)
2615:         send(name.to_s + '=', value)
2616:         save(false)
2617:       end

and now refer update_attributes and look at its code you get

      # File vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb, line 2621
2621:       def update_attributes(attributes)
2622:         self.attributes = attributes
2623:         save
2624:       end

the difference between two is update_attribute uses save(false) whereas update_attributes uses save or you can say save(true).

Sorry for the long description but what I want to say is important. save(perform_validation = true), if perform_validation is false it bypasses (skips will be the proper word) all the validations associated with save.

For second question

Also, what is the correct syntax to pass a hash to update_attributes... check out my example at the top.

Your example is correct.

Object.update_attributes(:field1 => "value", :field2 => "value2", :field3 => "value3")

or

Object.update_attributes :field1 => "value", :field2 => "value2", :field3 => "value3"

or if you get all fields data & name in a hash say params[:user] here use just

Object.update_attributes(params[:user])

How to create border in UIButton?

Here's an updated version (Swift 3.0.1) from Ben Packard's answer.

import UIKit

@IBDesignable class BorderedButton: UIButton {

    @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor? {
        didSet {
            if let bColor = borderColor {
                self.layer.borderColor = bColor.cgColor
            }
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var borderWidth: CGFloat = 0 {
        didSet {
            self.layer.borderWidth = borderWidth
        }
    }

    override var isHighlighted: Bool {
        didSet {
            guard let currentBorderColor = borderColor else {
                return
            }

            let fadedColor = currentBorderColor.withAlphaComponent(0.2).cgColor

            if isHighlighted {
                layer.borderColor = fadedColor
            } else {

                self.layer.borderColor = currentBorderColor.cgColor

                let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "borderColor")
                animation.fromValue = fadedColor
                animation.toValue = currentBorderColor.cgColor
                animation.duration = 0.4
                self.layer.add(animation, forKey: "")
            }
        }
    }
}

The resulting button can be used inside your StoryBoard thanks to the @IBDesignable and @IBInspectable tags.

enter image description here

Also the two properties defined, allow you to set the border width and color directly on interface builder and preview the result.

enter image description here

Other properties could be added in a similar fashion, for border radius and highlight fading time.

Set environment variables on Mac OS X Lion

Your .profile or .bash_profile are simply files that are present in your "home" folder. If you open a Finder window and click your account name in the Favorites pane, you won't see them. If you open a Terminal window and type ls to list files you still won't see them. However, you can find them by using ls -a in the terminal. Or if you open your favorite text editor (say TextEdit since it comes with OS X) and do File->Open and then press Command+Shift+. and click on your account name (home folder) you will see them as well. If you do not see them, then you can create one in your favorite text editor.

Now, adding environment variables is relatively straightforward and remarkably similar to windows conceptually. In your .profile just add, one per line, the variable name and its value as follows:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export JRE_HOME=/Library/Java/Home

etc.

If you are modifying your "PATH" variable, be sure to include the system's default PATH that was already set for you:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/my/stuff

Now here is the quirky part, you can either open a new Terminal window to have the new variables take effect, or you will need to type .profile or .bash_profile to reload the file and have the contents be applied to your current Terminal's environment.

You can check that your changes took effect using the "set" command in your Terminal. Just type set (or set | more if you prefer a paginated list) and be sure what you added to the file is there.

As for adding environment variables to GUI apps, that is normally not necessary and I'd like to hear more about what you are specifically trying to do to better give you an answer for it.

Do we need type="text/css" for <link> in HTML5

Don’t need to specify a type value of “text/css”

Every time you link to a CSS file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file.css">

You can simply write:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="file.css">

Getting the HTTP Referrer in ASP.NET

Belonging to other reply, I have added condition clause for getting null.

string ComingUrl = "";
if (Request.UrlReferrer != null)
{
    ComingUrl = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();
}
else
{
    ComingUrl = "Direct"; // Your code
}

Is Android using NTP to sync time?

Not an exact answer to your question, but a bit of information: if your device does use NTP for time (eg. if it is a tablet with no 3G or GPS capabilities), the server can be configured in /system/etc/gps.conf - obviously this file can only be edited with root access, but is viewable on non-rooted devices.

How to turn off caching on Firefox?

Best strategy is to design your site to build a unique URL to your JS files, that gets reset every time there is a change. That way it caches when there has been no change, but imediately reloads when any change occurs.

You'd need to adjust for your specific environment tools, but if you are using PHP/Apache, here's a great solution for both you, and the end-users.

Combine two tables for one output

You'll need to use UNION to combine the results of two queries. In your case:

SELECT ChargeNum, CategoryID, SUM(Hours)
FROM KnownHours
GROUP BY ChargeNum, CategoryID
UNION ALL
SELECT ChargeNum, 'Unknown' AS CategoryID, SUM(Hours)
FROM UnknownHours
GROUP BY ChargeNum

Note - If you use UNION ALL as in above, it's no slower than running the two queries separately as it does no duplicate-checking.

PHP string "contains"

You can use stristr() or strpos(). Both return false if nothing is found.

Get a specific bit from byte

This

public static bool GetBit(this byte b, int bitNumber) {
   return (b & (1 << bitNumber)) != 0;
}

should do it, I think.

What is the difference between a generative and a discriminative algorithm?

Imagine your task is to classify a speech to a language.

You can do it by either:

  1. learning each language, and then classifying it using the knowledge you just gained

or

  1. determining the difference in the linguistic models without learning the languages, and then classifying the speech.

The first one is the generative approach and the second one is the discriminative approach.

Check this reference for more details: http://www.cedar.buffalo.edu/~srihari/CSE574/Discriminative-Generative.pdf.

Check if null Boolean is true results in exception

Or with the power of Java 8 Optional, you also can do such trick:

Optional.ofNullable(boolValue).orElse(false)

:)

Add text at the end of each line

Concise version of the sed command:

sed -i s/$/:80/ file.txt

Explanation:

  • sed stream editor
    • -i in-place (edit file in place)
    • s substitution command
    • /replacement_from_reg_exp/replacement_to_text/ statement
    • $ matches the end of line (replacement_from_reg_exp)
    • :80 text you want to add at the end of every line (replacement_to_text)
  • file.txt the file name

How can I detect the encoding/codepage of a text file

10Y (!) had passed since this was asked, and still I see no mention of MS's good, non-GPL'ed solution: IMultiLanguage2 API.

Most libraries already mentioned are based on Mozilla's UDE - and it seems reasonable that browsers have already tackled similar problems. I don't know what is chrome's solution, but since IE 5.0 MS have released theirs, and it is:

  1. Free of GPL-and-the-like licensing issues,
  2. Backed and maintained probably forever,
  3. Gives rich output - all valid candidates for encoding/codepages along with confidence scores,
  4. Surprisingly easy to use (it is a single function call).

It is a native COM call, but here's some very nice work by Carsten Zeumer, that handles the interop mess for .net usage. There are some others around, but by and large this library doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Repair all tables in one go

You may need user name and password:

mysqlcheck -A --auto-repair -uroot -p

You will be prompted for password.

mysqlcheck -A --auto-repair -uroot -p{{password here}}

If you want to put in cron, BUT your password will be visible in plain text!

How can I generate an INSERT script for an existing SQL Server table that includes all stored rows?

Yes, use the commercial but inexpensive SSMS Tools Pack addin which has a nifty "Generate Insert statements from resultsets, tables or database" feature

How do I make my string comparison case insensitive?

String.equalsIgnoreCase is the most practical choice for naive case-insensitive string comparison.

However, it is good to be aware that this method does neither do full case folding nor decomposition and so cannot perform caseless matching as specified in the Unicode standard. In fact, the JDK APIs do not provide access to information about case folding character data, so this job is best delegated to a tried and tested third-party library.

That library is ICU, and here is how one could implement a utility for case-insensitive string comparison:

import com.ibm.icu.text.Normalizer2;

// ...

public static boolean equalsIgnoreCase(CharSequence s, CharSequence t) {
    Normalizer2 normalizer = Normalizer2.getNFKCCasefoldInstance();
    return normalizer.normalize(s).equals(normalizer.normalize(t));
}
    String brook = "?u\u0308ßchen";
    String BROOK = "FLÜSSCHEN";

    assert equalsIgnoreCase(brook, BROOK);

Naive comparison with String.equalsIgnoreCase, or String.equals on upper- or lowercased strings will fail even this simple test.

(Do note though that the predefined case folding flavour getNFKCCasefoldInstance is locale-independent; for Turkish locales a little more work involving UCharacter.foldCase may be necessary.)

c# datatable insert column at position 0

You can use the following code to add column to Datatable at postion 0:

    DataColumn Col   = datatable.Columns.Add("Column Name", System.Type.GetType("System.Boolean"));
    Col.SetOrdinal(0);// to put the column in position 0;

C# find biggest number

If your numbers are a, b and c then:

    int a = 1;
    int b = 2;
    int c = 3;

    int d =  a > b ? a : b;
    return c > d ? c : d;

This could turn into one of those "how many different ways can we do this" type questions!

Eloquent Collection: Counting and Detect Empty

You can use: $counter = count($datas);

What is the 'realtime' process priority setting for?

It basically is higher/greater in everything else. A keyboard is less of a priority than the real time process. This means the process will be taken into account faster then keyboard and if it can't handle that, then your keyboard is slowed.

Add element to a list In Scala

Since you want to append elements to existing list, you can use var List[Int] and then keep on adding elements to the same list. Note -> You have to make sure that you insert an element into existing list as follows:-

var l: List[int] = List() // creates an empty list

l = 3 :: l // adds 3 to the head of the list

l = 4 :: l // makes int 4 as the head of the list

// Now when you will print l, you will see two elements in the list ( 4, 3)

Importing a CSV file into a sqlite3 database table using Python

If the CSV file must be imported as part of a python program, then for simplicity and efficiency, you could use os.system along the lines suggested by the following:

import os

cmd = """sqlite3 database.db <<< ".import input.csv mytable" """

rc = os.system(cmd)

print(rc)

The point is that by specifying the filename of the database, the data will automatically be saved, assuming there are no errors reading it.

Plot two histograms on single chart with matplotlib

The accepted answers gives the code for a histogram with overlapping bars, but in case you want each bar to be side-by-side (as I did), try the variation below:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('seaborn-deep')

x = np.random.normal(1, 2, 5000)
y = np.random.normal(-1, 3, 2000)
bins = np.linspace(-10, 10, 30)

plt.hist([x, y], bins, label=['x', 'y'])
plt.legend(loc='upper right')
plt.show()

enter image description here

EDIT [2018/03/16]: Updated to allow plotting of arrays of different sizes, as suggested by @stochastic_zeitgeist

How do I include a file over 2 directories back?

include dirname(__FILE__).'/../../index.php';

is your best bet here, and it will avoid most of the relative path bugs you can encounter with other solutions.

Indeed, it will force the include to always be relative to the position of the current script where this code is placed (which location is most likely stable, since you define the architecture of your application). This is different from just doing include '../../index.php' which will include relatively to the executing (also named "calling") script and then relatively to the current working directory, which will point to the parent script that includes your script, instead of resolving from your included script's path.

From the PHP documentation:

Files are included based on the file path given or, if none is given, the include_path specified. If the file isn't found in the include_path, include will finally check in the calling script's own directory and the current working directory before failing.

And the oldest post I've found citing this trick dates back to 2003, by Tapken.

You can test with the following setup:

Create a layout like this:

htdocs
¦   parent.php
¦   goal.php
¦
+---sub
    ¦   included.php
    ¦   goal.php

In parent.php, put:

<?php
include dirname(__FILE__).'/sub/included.php';
?>

In sub/included.php, put:

<?php
print("WRONG : " . realpath('goal.php'));
print("GOOD : " . realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/goal.php'));
?>

Result when accessing parent.php:

WRONG : X:\htdocs\goal.php
GOOD : X:\htdocs\sub\goal.php

As we can see, in the first case, the path is resolved from the calling script parent.php, while by using the dirname(__FILE__).'/path' trick, the include is done from the script included.php where the code is placed in.

Beware, the following NOT equivalent to the trick above contrary to what can be read elsewhere:

include '/../../index.php';

Indeed, prepending / will work, but it will resolve just like include ../../index.php from the calling script (the difference is that include_path won't be looked afterwards if it fails). From PHP doc:

If a path is defined — whether absolute (starting with a drive letter or \ on Windows, or / on Unix/Linux systems) or relative to the current directory (starting with . or ..) — the include_path will be ignored altogether.

subsampling every nth entry in a numpy array

You can use numpy's slicing, simply start:stop:step.

>>> xs
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> xs[1::4]
array([2, 2, 2])

This creates a view of the the original data, so it's constant time. It'll also reflect changes to the original array and keep the whole original array in memory:

>>> a
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> b = a[::2]         # O(1), constant time
>>> b[:] = 0           # modifying the view changes original array
>>> a                  # original array is modified
array([0, 2, 0, 4, 0])

so if either of the above things are a problem, you can make a copy explicitly:

>>> a
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> b = a[::2].copy()  # explicit copy, O(n)
>>> b[:] = 0           # modifying the copy
>>> a                  # original is intact
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

This isn't constant time, but the result isn't tied to the original array. The copy also contiguous in memory, which can make some operations on it faster.

Center Align on a Absolutely Positioned Div

I know I'm late to the party, but I thought I would provide an answer here for people who need to horizontally position an absolute item, when you don't know its exact width.

Try this:

// Horizontal example.
div#thing {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
}

The same technique can also be applied, for when you might need vertical alignment, simply by adjusting the properties like so:

// Vertical example.
div#thing {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

How to get setuptools and easy_install?

On Ubuntu until python-distribute is something newer than 0.7 I'd recommend:

$ wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python

How to enable copy paste from between host machine and virtual machine in vmware, virtual machine is ubuntu

here is another solution I started using after being fed up with the copy and paste issue:

  1. Download MRemote (for pc). this is an alternative to remote desktop manager. You can use remote desktop manager if you like.
  2. Change the VMNet settings to NAT or add another VMNet and set it to NAT.
  3. Configure the vm ip address with an ip in the same network as you host machine. if you want to keep networks separated use a second vmnet and set it's ip address in the same network as the host. that's what I use.
  4. Enable RDP connections on the guest (I only use windows guests)
  5. Create a batch file with this command. add your guest machines:

vmrun start D:\VM\MySuperVM1\vm1.vmx nogui vmrun start D:\VM\MySuperVM2\vm2.vmx nogui

save the file to startmyvms.cmd

create another batch file and add your vms

vmrun stop D:\VM\MySuperVM1\vm1.vmx nogui vmrun stop D:\VM\MySuperVM2\vm2.vmx nogui

save the file to stopmyvms.cmd

  1. Open Mremote go to tools => External tools Add external tool => filename will be the startmyvms.cmd file Add external tool => filename will be the stopmyvms.cmd file So to start working with your vms:

  2. Create you connections to your VMs in mremote

Now to work with your vm 1. You open mremote 2. You go to tools => external tools 3. You click the startmyvms tool when you're done 1. You go to tools => external tools 2. You click the stopmyvms external tool

you could add the vmrun start on the connection setting => external tool before connection and add the vmrun stop in the connection settings => external tool after

Voilà !

How to get a JavaScript object's class?

There's no exact counterpart to Java's getClass() in JavaScript. Mostly that's due to JavaScript being a prototype-based language, as opposed to Java being a class-based one.

Depending on what you need getClass() for, there are several options in JavaScript:

A few examples:

function Foo() {}
var foo = new Foo();

typeof Foo;             // == "function"
typeof foo;             // == "object"

foo instanceof Foo;     // == true
foo.constructor.name;   // == "Foo"
Foo.name                // == "Foo"    

Foo.prototype.isPrototypeOf(foo);   // == true

Foo.prototype.bar = function (x) {return x+x;};
foo.bar(21);            // == 42

Note: if you are compiling your code with Uglify it will change non-global class names. To prevent this, Uglify has a --mangle param that you can set to false is using gulp or grunt.

GridView VS GridLayout in Android Apps

A GridView is a ViewGroup that displays items in two-dimensional scrolling grid. The items in the grid come from the ListAdapter associated with this view.

This is what you'd want to use (keep using). Because a GridView gets its data from a ListAdapter, the only data loaded in memory will be the one displayed on screen. GridViews, much like ListViews reuse and recycle their views for better performance.

Whereas a GridLayout is a layout that places its children in a rectangular grid.

It was introduced in API level 14, and was recently backported in the Support Library. Its main purpose is to solve alignment and performance problems in other layouts. Check out this tutorial if you want to learn more about GridLayout.

Importing two classes with same name. How to handle?

You can omit the import statements and refer to them using the entire path. Eg:

java.util.Date javaDate = new java.util.Date()
my.own.Date myDate = new my.own.Date();

But I would say that using two classes with the same name and a similiar function is usually not the best idea unless you can make it really clear which is which.

What is a good Hash Function?

There's no such thing as a “good hash function” for universal hashes (ed. yes, I know there's such a thing as “universal hashing” but that's not what I meant). Depending on the context different criteria determine the quality of a hash. Two people already mentioned SHA. This is a cryptographic hash and it isn't at all good for hash tables which you probably mean.

Hash tables have very different requirements. But still, finding a good hash function universally is hard because different data types expose different information that can be hashed. As a rule of thumb it is good to consider all information a type holds equally. This is not always easy or even possible. For reasons of statistics (and hence collision), it is also important to generate a good spread over the problem space, i.e. all possible objects. This means that when hashing numbers between 100 and 1050 it's no good to let the most significant digit play a big part in the hash because for ~ 90% of the objects, this digit will be 0. It's far more important to let the last three digits determine the hash.

Similarly, when hashing strings it's important to consider all characters – except when it's known in advance that the first three characters of all strings will be the same; considering these then is a waste.

This is actually one of the cases where I advise to read what Knuth has to say in The Art of Computer Programming, vol. 3. Another good read is Julienne Walker's The Art of Hashing.

setState() inside of componentDidUpdate()

I had a similar problem where i have to center the toolTip. React setState in componentDidUpdate did put me in infinite loop, i tried condition it worked. But i found using in ref callback gave me simpler and clean solution, if you use inline function for ref callback you will face the null problem for every component update. So use function reference in ref callback and set the state there, which will initiate the re-render

What is the difference between printf() and puts() in C?

(This is pointed out in a comment by Zan Lynx, but I think it deserves an aswer - given that the accepted answer doesn't mention it).

The essential difference between puts(mystr); and printf(mystr); is that in the latter the argument is interpreted as a formatting string. The result will be often the same (except for the added newline) if the string doesn't contain any control characters (%) but if you cannot rely on that (if mystr is a variable instead of a literal) you should not use it.

So, it's generally dangerous -and conceptually wrong- to pass a dynamic string as single argument of printf:

  char * myMessage;
  // ... myMessage gets assigned at runtime, unpredictable content
  printf(myMessage);  // <--- WRONG! (what if myMessage contains a '%' char?) 
  puts(myMessage);    // ok
  printf("%s\n",myMessage); // ok, equivalent to the previous, perhaps less efficient

The same applies to fputs vs fprintf (but fputs doesn't add the newline).

excel formula to subtract number of days from a date

Say the 1st date is in A1 cell & the 2nd date is in B1 cell

Make sure that the cell type of both A1 & B1 is DATE.
Then simply put the following formula in C1:

=A1-B1

The result of this formula may look funny to you. Then Change the Cell type of C1 to GENERAL.

It will give you the difference in Days.

You can also use this formula to get the remaining days of year or change the formula as you need:

=365-(A1-B1)

Set "Homepage" in Asp.Net MVC

Attribute Routing in MVC 5

Before MVC 5 you could map URLs to specific actions and controllers by calling routes.MapRoute(...) in the RouteConfig.cs file. This is where the url for the homepage is stored (Home/Index). However if you modify the default route as shown below,

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

keep in mind that this will affect the URLs of other actions and controllers. For example, if you had a controller class named ExampleController and an action method inside of it called DoSomething, then the expected default url ExampleController/DoSomething will no longer work because the default route was changed.

A workaround for this is to not mess with the default route and create new routes in the RouteConfig.cs file for other actions and controllers like so,

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Example",
    url: "hey/now",
    defaults: new { controller = "Example", action = "DoSomething", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Now the DoSomething action of the ExampleController class will be mapped to the url hey/now. But this can get tedious to do for every time you want to define routes for different actions. So in MVC 5 you can now add attributes to match urls to actions like so,

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // url is now 'index/' instead of 'home/index'
    [Route("index")]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
    // url is now 'create/new' instead of 'home/create'
    [Route("create/new")]
    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Replace all occurrences of a String using StringBuilder?

Use the following:

/**
* Utility method to replace the string from StringBuilder.
* @param sb          the StringBuilder object.
* @param toReplace   the String that should be replaced.
* @param replacement the String that has to be replaced by.
* 
*/
public static void replaceString(StringBuilder sb,
                                 String toReplace,
                                 String replacement) {      
    int index = -1;
    while ((index = sb.lastIndexOf(toReplace)) != -1) {
        sb.replace(index, index + toReplace.length(), replacement);
    }
}

How to script FTP upload and download?

I know this is an old question, but I wanted to add something to the answers already here in hopes of helping someone else.

You can script the ftp command with the -s:filename option. The syntax is just a list of commands to pass to the ftp shell, each terminated by a newline. This page has a nice reference to the commands that can be performed with ftp.

Upload/Download Entire Directory Structure

Using the normal ftp doesn't work very well when you need to have an entire directory tree copied to or from a ftp site. So you could use something like these to handle those situations.

These scripts works with the Windows ftp command and allows for uploading and downloading of entire directories from a single command. This makes it pretty self reliant when using on different systems.

Basically what they do is map out the directory structure to be up/downloaded, dump corresponding ftp commands to a file, then execute those commands when the mapping has finished.

Convert Go map to json

If you had caught the error, you would have seen this:

jsonString, err := json.Marshal(datas)
fmt.Println(err)

// [] json: unsupported type: map[int]main.Foo

The thing is you cannot use integers as keys in JSON; it is forbidden. Instead, you can convert these values to strings beforehand, for instance using strconv.Itoa.

Remove all the children DOM elements in div

If you are looking for a modern >1.7 Dojo way of destroying all node's children this is the way:

// Destroys all domNode's children nodes
// domNode can be a node or its id:
domConstruct.empty(domNode);

Safely empty the contents of a DOM element. empty() deletes all children but keeps the node there.

Check "dom-construct" documentation for more details.

// Destroys domNode and all it's children
domConstruct.destroy(domNode);

Destroys a DOM element. destroy() deletes all children and the node itself.

Create a asmx web service in C# using visual studio 2013

Short answer: Don't do it.

Longer answer: Use WCF. It's here to replace Asmx.

see this answer for example, or the first comment on this one.

John Saunders: ASMX is a legacy technology, and should not be used for new development. WCF or ASP.NET Web API should be used for all new development of web service clients and servers. One hint: Microsoft has retired the ASMX Forum on MSDN.


As for comment ... well, if you have to, you have to. I'll leave you in the competent hands of the other answers then. (Even though it's funny it has issues, and if it does, why are you doing it in VS2013 to begin with ?)

Change one value based on another value in pandas

One option is to use Python's slicing and indexing features to logically evaluate the places where your condition holds and overwrite the data there.

Assuming you can load your data directly into pandas with pandas.read_csv then the following code might be helpful for you.

import pandas
df = pandas.read_csv("test.csv")
df.loc[df.ID == 103, 'FirstName'] = "Matt"
df.loc[df.ID == 103, 'LastName'] = "Jones"

As mentioned in the comments, you can also do the assignment to both columns in one shot:

df.loc[df.ID == 103, ['FirstName', 'LastName']] = 'Matt', 'Jones'

Note that you'll need pandas version 0.11 or newer to make use of loc for overwrite assignment operations.


Another way to do it is to use what is called chained assignment. The behavior of this is less stable and so it is not considered the best solution (it is explicitly discouraged in the docs), but it is useful to know about:

import pandas
df = pandas.read_csv("test.csv")
df['FirstName'][df.ID == 103] = "Matt"
df['LastName'][df.ID == 103] = "Jones"

What does 'wb' mean in this code, using Python?

The wb indicates that the file is opened for writing in binary mode.

When writing in binary mode, Python makes no changes to data as it is written to the file. In text mode (when the b is excluded as in just w or when you specify text mode with wt), however, Python will encode the text based on the default text encoding. Additionally, Python will convert line endings (\n) to whatever the platform-specific line ending is, which would corrupt a binary file like an exe or png file.

Text mode should therefore be used when writing text files (whether using plain text or a text-based format like CSV), while binary mode must be used when writing non-text files like images.

What's the strangest corner case you've seen in C# or .NET?

I'm arriving a bit late to the party, but I've got three four five:

  1. If you poll InvokeRequired on a control that hasn't been loaded/shown, it will say false - and blow up in your face if you try to change it from another thread (the solution is to reference this.Handle in the creator of the control).

  2. Another one which tripped me up is that given an assembly with:

    enum MyEnum
    {
        Red,
        Blue,
    }
    

    if you calculate MyEnum.Red.ToString() in another assembly, and in between times someone has recompiled your enum to:

    enum MyEnum
    {
        Black,
        Red,
        Blue,
    }
    

    at runtime, you will get "Black".

  3. I had a shared assembly with some handy constants in. My predecessor had left a load of ugly-looking get-only properties, I thought I'd get rid of the clutter and just use public const. I was more than a little surprised when VS compiled them to their values, and not references.

  4. If you implement a new method of an interface from another assembly, but you rebuild referencing the old version of that assembly, you get a TypeLoadException (no implementation of 'NewMethod'), even though you have implemented it (see here).

  5. Dictionary<,>: "The order in which the items are returned is undefined". This is horrible, because it can bite you sometimes, but work others, and if you've just blindly assumed that Dictionary is going to play nice ("why shouldn't it? I thought, List does"), you really have to have your nose in it before you finally start to question your assumption.

In Javascript, how do I check if an array has duplicate values?

Another approach (also for object/array elements within the array1) could be2:

function chkDuplicates(arr,justCheck){
  var len = arr.length, tmp = {}, arrtmp = arr.slice(), dupes = [];
  arrtmp.sort();
  while(len--){
   var val = arrtmp[len];
   if (/nul|nan|infini/i.test(String(val))){
     val = String(val);
    }
    if (tmp[JSON.stringify(val)]){
       if (justCheck) {return true;}
       dupes.push(val);
    }
    tmp[JSON.stringify(val)] = true;
  }
  return justCheck ? false : dupes.length ? dupes : null;
}
//usages
chkDuplicates([1,2,3,4,5],true);                           //=> false
chkDuplicates([1,2,3,4,5,9,10,5,1,2],true);                //=> true
chkDuplicates([{a:1,b:2},1,2,3,4,{a:1,b:2},[1,2,3]],true); //=> true
chkDuplicates([null,1,2,3,4,{a:1,b:2},NaN],true);          //=> false
chkDuplicates([1,2,3,4,5,1,2]);                            //=> [1,2]
chkDuplicates([1,2,3,4,5]);                                //=> null

grep --ignore-case --only

If your grep -i does not work then try using tr command to convert the the output of your file to lower case and then pipe it into standard grep with whatever you are looking for. (it sounds complicated but the actual command which I have provided for you is not !).

Notice the tr command does not change the content of your original file, it just converts it just before it feeds it into grep.

1.here is how you can do this on a file

tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' <your_file.txt|grep what_ever_you_are_searching_in_lower_case

2.or in your case if you are just echoing something

echo "ABC"|tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | grep abc

Twitter Bootstrap vs jQuery UI?

Having used both, Twitter's Bootstrap is a superior technology set. Here are some differences,

  • Widgets: jQuery UI wins here. The date widget it provides is immensely useful, and Twitter Bootstrap provides nothing of the sort.
  • Scaffolding: Bootstrap wins here. Twitter's grid both fluid and fixed are top notch. jQuery UI doesn't even provide this direction leaving page layout up to the end user.
  • Out of the box professionalism: Bootstrap using CSS3 is leagues ahead, jQuery UI looks dated by comparison.
  • Icons: I'll go tie on this one. Bootstrap has nicer icons imho than jQuery UI, but I don't like the terms one bit, Glyphicons Halflings are normally not available for free, but an arrangement between Bootstrap and the Glyphicons creators have made this possible at no cost to you as developers. As a thank you, we ask you to include an optional link back to Glyphicons whenever practical.
  • Images & Thumbnails: goes to Bootstrap, jQuery UI doesn't even help here.

Other notes,

  • It's important to understand how these two technologies compete in the spheres too. There is a lot of overlap, but if you want simple scaffolding and fixed/fluid creation Bootstrap isn't another technology, it's the best technology. If you want any single widget, jQuery UI probably isn't even in the top three. Today, jQuery UI is mainly just a toy for consistency and proof of concept for a client-side widget creation using a unified framework.

Postgres user does not exist?

For me This was the solution on macOS ReInstall the psql

brew install postgres

Start PostgreSQL server

pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start

Initialize DB

initdb /usr/local/var/postgres

If this command throws an error the rm the old database file and re-run the above command

rm -r /usr/local/var/postgres

Create a new database

createdb postgres_test
psql -W postegres_test

You will be logged into this db and can create a user in here to login

In a Bash script, how can I exit the entire script if a certain condition occurs?

I often include a function called run() to handle errors. Every call I want to make is passed to this function so the entire script exits when a failure is hit. The advantage of this over the set -e solution is that the script doesn't exit silently when a line fails, and can tell you what the problem is. In the following example, the 3rd line is not executed because the script exits at the call to false.

function run() {
  cmd_output=$(eval $1)
  return_value=$?
  if [ $return_value != 0 ]; then
    echo "Command $1 failed"
    exit -1
  else
    echo "output: $cmd_output"
    echo "Command succeeded."
  fi
  return $return_value
}
run "date"
run "false"
run "date"

    if(e && e.which)
    {
        charCode = e.which;
    }
    else if(window.event)
    {
        e = window.event;
        charCode = e.keyCode;
    }

    if(charCode == 13)
    {
       //Call your submit function

python setup.py uninstall

Now python gives you the choice to install pip during the installation (I am on Windows, and at least python does so for Windows!). Considering you had chosen to install pip during installation of python (you don't actually have to choose because it is default), pip is already installed for you. Then, type in pip in command prompt, you should see a help come up. You can find necessary usage instructions there. E.g. pip list shows you the list of installed packages. You can use

pip uninstall package_name

to uninstall any package that you don't want anymore. Read more here (pip documentation).

Creating Accordion Table with Bootstrap

This seems to be already asked before:

This might help:

Twitter Bootstrap Use collapse.js on table cells [Almost Done]

UPDATE:

Your fiddle wasn't loading jQuery, so anything worked.

<table class="table table-hover">
<thead>
  <tr>
    <th></th>
    <th></th>
    <th></th>
  </tr>
</thead>

<tbody>
    <tr data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#accordion" class="clickable">
        <td>Some Stuff</td>
        <td>Some more stuff</td>
        <td>And some more</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="3">
            <div id="accordion" class="collapse">Hidden by default</div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>

How can I fix "Design editor is unavailable until a successful build" error?

  1. First, find your build.gradle in your all modules in project, include app/build.gradle. Find the compileSdkVersion inside android tag, in this case, compile sdk version is 30:

In this case, SDK version is 30

  1. Next, open SDK Manager > SDK Platforms, check correct version then install selected platforms. After installed, go to menu File > Sync project with Gradle files....

Install the API version which module requires

This issue often appear when project has many modules, each module use different compile SDK version, so app may be able to build but IDE have some issue while processing your resources.

Force overwrite of local file with what's in origin repo?

Full sync has few tasks:

  • reverting changes
  • removing new files

Or else, what I prefer is that, I may create a new branch with the latest from the remote using:

git checkout origin/master -b <new branch name>

origin is my remote repository reference, and master is my considered branch name. These may different from yours.

How do I measure a time interval in C?

The following is a group of versatile C functions for timer management based on the gettimeofday() system call. All the timer properties are contained in a single ticktimer struct - the interval you want, the total running time since the timer initialization, a pointer to the desired callback you want to call, the number of times the callback was called. A callback function would look like this:

void your_timer_cb (struct ticktimer *t) {
  /* do your stuff here */
}

To initialize and start a timer, call ticktimer_init(your_timer, interval, TICKTIMER_RUN, your_timer_cb, 0).

In the main loop of your program call ticktimer_tick(your_timer) and it will decide whether the appropriate amount of time has passed to invoke the callback.

To stop a timer, just call ticktimer_ctl(your_timer, TICKTIMER_STOP).

Unable to negotiate with XX.XXX.XX.XX: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss

The recent openssh version deprecated DSA keys by default. You should suggest to your GIT provider to add some reasonable host key. Relying only on DSA is not a good idea.

As a workaround, you need to tell your ssh client that you want to accept DSA host keys, as described in the official documentation for legacy usage. You have few possibilities, but I recommend to add these lines into your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host your-remote-host
    HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss

Other possibility is to use environment variable GIT_SSH to specify these options:

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss" git clone ssh://user@host/path-to-repository

"Least Astonishment" and the Mutable Default Argument

I know nothing about the Python interpreter inner workings (and I'm not an expert in compilers and interpreters either) so don't blame me if I propose anything unsensible or impossible.

Provided that python objects are mutable I think that this should be taken into account when designing the default arguments stuff. When you instantiate a list:

a = []

you expect to get a new list referenced by a.

Why should the a=[] in

def x(a=[]):

instantiate a new list on function definition and not on invocation? It's just like you're asking "if the user doesn't provide the argument then instantiate a new list and use it as if it was produced by the caller". I think this is ambiguous instead:

def x(a=datetime.datetime.now()):

user, do you want a to default to the datetime corresponding to when you're defining or executing x? In this case, as in the previous one, I'll keep the same behaviour as if the default argument "assignment" was the first instruction of the function (datetime.now() called on function invocation). On the other hand, if the user wanted the definition-time mapping he could write:

b = datetime.datetime.now()
def x(a=b):

I know, I know: that's a closure. Alternatively Python might provide a keyword to force definition-time binding:

def x(static a=b):

However, the hurdle 3 (proprietary RIL) is dependent on the hardware vendors. Hardware vendors do not usually make their device drivers code available.

How to upgrade scikit-learn package in anaconda

Updating a Specific Library - scikit-learn:

Anaconda (conda):

conda install scikit-learn

Pip Installs Packages (pip):

pip install --upgrade scikit-learn

Verify Update:

conda list scikit-learn

It should now display the current (and desired) version of the scikit-learn library.

For me personally, I tried using the conda command to update the scikit-learn library and it acted as if it were installing the latest version to then later discover (with an execution of the conda list scikit-learn command) that it was the same version as previously and never updated (or recognized the update?). When I used the pip command, it worked like a charm and correctly updated the scikit-learn library to the latest version!

Hope this helps!

More in-depth details of latest version can be found here (be mindful this applies to the scikit-learn library version of 0.22):

Load and execution sequence of a web page?

The chosen answer looks like does not apply to modern browsers, at least on Firefox 52. What I observed is that the requests of loading resources like css, javascript are issued before HTML parser reaches the element, for example

<html>
  <head>
    <!-- prints the date before parsing and blocks HTMP parsering -->
    <script>
      console.log("start: " + (new Date()).toISOString());
      for(var i=0; i<1000000000; i++) {};
    </script>

    <script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="abc.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" href="abc.css"></link>
    <style>h2{font-wight:bold;}</style>
    <script>
      $(document).ready(function(){
      $("#img").attr("src", "kkk.png");
     });
   </script>
 </head>
 <body>
   <img id="img" src="abc.jpg" style="width:400px;height:300px;"/>
   <script src="kkk.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   </body>
</html>

What I found that the start time of requests to load css and javascript resources were not being blocked. Looks like Firefox has a HTML scan, and identify key resources(img resource is not included) before starting to parse the HTML.

Why can't I have "public static const string S = "stuff"; in my Class?

From the C# language specification (PDF page 287 - or 300th page of the PDF):

Even though constants are considered static members, a constant declaration neither requires nor allows a static modifier.

Can't build create-react-app project with custom PUBLIC_URL

People like me who are looking for something like this in in build:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://dsomething.cloudfront.net/static/js/main.ec7f8972.js">

Then setting https://dsomething.cloudfront.net to homepage in package.json will not work.

1. Quick Solution

Build your project like this:
(windows)

set PUBLIC_URL=https://dsomething.cloudfront.net&&npm run build

(linux/mac)

PUBLIC_URL=https://dsomething.cloudfront.net npm run build

And you will get

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://dsomething.cloudfront.net/static/js/main.ec7f8972.js">

in your built index.html

2. Permanent & Recommended Solution

Create a file called .env at your project root(same place where package.json is located).
In this file write this(no quotes around the url):

PUBLIC_URL=https://dsomething.cloudfront.net

Build your project as usual (npm run build)
This will also generate index.html with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://dsomething.cloudfront.net/static/js/main.ec7f8972.js">

3. Weird Solution (Will do not work in latest react-scripts version)

Add this in your package.json
"homepage": "http://://dsomething.cloudfront.net",

Then index.html will be generated with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//dsomething.cloudfront.net/static/js/main.ec7f8972.js">

Which is basically the same as:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://dsomething.cloudfront.net/static/js/main.ec7f8972.js">

in my understanding.

TypeError: You provided an invalid object where a stream was expected. You can provide an Observable, Promise, Array, or Iterable

You will get the following error message too when you provide undefined or so to an operator which expects an Observable, eg. takeUntil.

Calling async method on button click

This is what's killing you:

task.Wait();

That's blocking the UI thread until the task has completed - but the task is an async method which is going to try to get back to the UI thread after it "pauses" and awaits an async result. It can't do that, because you're blocking the UI thread...

There's nothing in your code which really looks like it needs to be on the UI thread anyway, but assuming you really do want it there, you should use:

private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs 
{
    Task<List<MyObject>> task = GetResponse<MyObject>("my url");
    var items = await task;
    // Presumably use items here
}

Or just:

private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs 
{
    var items = await GetResponse<MyObject>("my url");
    // Presumably use items here
}

Now instead of blocking until the task has completed, the Button_Click method will return after scheduling a continuation to fire when the task has completed. (That's how async/await works, basically.)

Note that I would also rename GetResponse to GetResponseAsync for clarity.

I believe, the 500ms run in the background, while the rest of the code continues to execute and empties the list.

Then after 500ms nothing happens, as no function-call is implemented in the after-callup (same as frame.after(500, function=None))

How to execute a stored procedure within C# program

using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Server=(local);DataBase=Northwind;Integrated Security=SSPI")) {

    SqlCommand cmd  = new SqlCommand("CustOrderHist", conn);

    // 2. set the command object so it knows to execute a stored procedure
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

    // 3. add parameter to command, which will be passed to the stored procedure
    cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CustomerID", custId));

    // execute the command
    using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()) {
        // iterate through results, printing each to console
        while (rdr.Read())
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Product: {0,-35} Total: {1,2}",rdr["ProductName"],rdr["Total"]);
        }
    }
}

Removing multiple classes (jQuery)

Since jQuery 3.3.0, it is possible to pass arrays to .addClass(), .removeClass() and toggleClass(), which makes it easier if there is any logic which determines which classes should be added or removed, as you don't need to mess around with the space-delimited strings.

$("div").removeClass(["class1", "class2"]); 

database vs. flat files

SQL ad hoc query abilities are enough of a reason for me. With a good schema and indexing on the tables, this is fast and effective and will have good performance.

What does it mean by select 1 from table?

select 1 from table is used by some databases as a query to test a connection to see if it's alive, often used when retrieving or returning a connection to / from a connection pool.

Sending HTML mail using a shell script

In addition to the correct answer by mdma, you can also use the mail command as follows:

mail [email protected] -s"Subject Here" -a"Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\""

you will get what you're looking for. Don't forget to put <HTML> and </HTML> in the email. Here's a quick script I use to email a daily report in HTML:

#!/bin/sh
(cat /path/to/tomorrow.txt mysql -h mysqlserver -u user -pPassword Database -H -e "select statement;" echo "</HTML>") | mail [email protected] -s"Tomorrow's orders as of now" -a"Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\""

How do you strip a character out of a column in SQL Server?

UPDATE [TableName]
SET [ColumnName] = Replace([ColumnName], '[StringToRemove]', '[Replacement]')

In your instance it would be

UPDATE [TableName]
SET [ColumnName] = Replace([ColumnName], '[StringToRemove]', '')

Because there is no replacement (you want to get rid of it).

This will run on every row of the specified table. No need for a WHERE clause unless you want to specify only certain rows.

    tempFile.createNewFile()

    try {
        val oStream = FileOutputStream(tempFile)
        val inputStream = context.contentResolver.openInputStream(contentUri)

        inputStream?.let {
            copy(inputStream, oStream)
        }

        oStream.flush()
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        e.printStackTrace()
    }

    return tempFile
}

private fun getFileExtension(context: Context, uri: Uri): String? {
    val fileType: String? = context.contentResolver.getType(uri)
    return MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getExtensionFromMimeType(fileType)
}

@Throws(IOException::class)

        target.write(buf, 0, length)
    }
}

A better way to check if a path exists or not in PowerShell

Add the following aliases. I think these should be made available in PowerShell by default:

function not-exist { -not (Test-Path $args) }
Set-Alias !exist not-exist -Option "Constant, AllScope"
Set-Alias exist Test-Path -Option "Constant, AllScope"

With that, the conditional statements will change to:

if (exist $path) { ... }

and

if (not-exist $path) { ... }
if (!exist $path) { ... }

In HTML5, can the <header> and <footer> tags appear outside of the <body> tag?

If you really want it to look more semantic like having the <body> in the middle you can use the <main> element. With all the recent advances the <body>element is not as semantic as it once was but you just have to think of it as a wrapper in which the view port sees.

<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>

How to split a string content into an array of strings in PowerShell?

As of PowerShell 2, simple:

$recipients = $addresses -split "; "

Note that the right hand side is actually a case-insensitive regular expression, not a simple match. Use csplit to force case-sensitivity. See about_Split for more details.

Angular2 - Focusing a textbox on component load

Using simple autofocus HTML5 attribute works for 'on load' scenario

Setting values of input fields with Angular 6

As an alternate you can use reactive forms. Here is an example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-pqb2xx

Template

<form [formGroup]="mainForm" ng-submit="submitForm()">
  Global Price: <input type="number" formControlName="globalPrice">
  <button type="button" [disabled]="mainForm.get('globalPrice').value === null" (click)="applyPriceToAll()">Apply to all</button>
  <table border formArrayName="orderLines">
  <ng-container *ngFor="let orderLine of orderLines let i=index" [formGroupName]="i">
    <tr>
       <td>{{orderLine.time | date}}</td>
       <td>{{orderLine.quantity}}</td>
       <td><input formControlName="price" type="number"></td>
    </tr>
</ng-container>
  </table>
</form>

Component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormControl, FormArray } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  name = 'Angular 6';
  mainForm: FormGroup;
  orderLines = [
    {price: 10, time: new Date(), quantity: 2},
    {price: 20, time: new Date(), quantity: 3},
    {price: 30, time: new Date(), quantity: 3},
    {price: 40, time: new Date(), quantity: 5}
    ]
  constructor() {
    this.mainForm = this.getForm();
  }

  getForm(): FormGroup {
    return new FormGroup({
      globalPrice: new FormControl(),
      orderLines: new FormArray(this.orderLines.map(this.getFormGroupForLine))
    })
  }

  getFormGroupForLine(orderLine: any): FormGroup {
    return new FormGroup({
      price: new FormControl(orderLine.price)
    })
  }

  applyPriceToAll() {
    const formLines = this.mainForm.get('orderLines') as FormArray;
    const globalPrice = this.mainForm.get('globalPrice').value;
    formLines.controls.forEach(control => control.get('price').setValue(globalPrice));
    // optionally recheck value and validity without emit event.
  }

  submitForm() {

}

Test if a vector contains a given element

I really like grep() and grepl() for this purpose.

grep() returns a vector of integers, which indicate where matches are.

yo <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "c", "c")

grep("b", yo)
[1] 3 4

grepl() returns a logical vector, with "TRUE" at the location of matches.

yo <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "c", "c")

grepl("b", yo)
[1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE

These functions are case-sensitive.

Passing bash variable to jq

I know is a bit later to reply, sorry. But that works for me.

export K8S_public_load_balancer_url="$(kubectl get services -n ${TENANT}-production -o wide | grep "ingress-nginx-internal$" | awk '{print $4}')"

And now I am able to fetch and pass the content of the variable to jq

export TF_VAR_public_load_balancer_url="$(aws elbv2 describe-load-balancers --region eu-west-1 | jq -r '.LoadBalancers[] | select (.DNSName == "'$K8S_public_load_balancer_url'") | .LoadBalancerArn')"

In my case I needed to use double quote and quote to access the variable value.

Cheers.

Task vs Thread differences

The Thread class is used for creating and manipulating a thread in Windows.

A Task represents some asynchronous operation and is part of the Task Parallel Library, a set of APIs for running tasks asynchronously and in parallel.

In the days of old (i.e. before TPL) it used to be that using the Thread class was one of the standard ways to run code in the background or in parallel (a better alternative was often to use a ThreadPool), however this was cumbersome and had several disadvantages, not least of which was the performance overhead of creating a whole new thread to perform a task in the background.

Nowadays using tasks and the TPL is a far better solution 90% of the time as it provides abstractions which allows far more efficient use of system resources. I imagine there are a few scenarios where you want explicit control over the thread on which you are running your code, however generally speaking if you want to run something asynchronously your first port of call should be the TPL.

PostgreSQL IF statement

Just to help if anyone stumble on this question like me, if you want to use if in PostgreSQL, you use "CASE"

select 
    case
        when stage = 1 then 'running'
        when stage = 2 then 'done'
        when stage = 3 then 'stopped'
    else 
        'not running'
    end as run_status from processes

Pass array to where in Codeigniter Active Record

From the Active Record docs:

$this->db->where_in();

Generates a WHERE field IN ('item', 'item') SQL query joined with AND if appropriate

$names = array('Frank', 'Todd', 'James');
$this->db->where_in('username', $names);
// Produces: WHERE username IN ('Frank', 'Todd', 'James')

Can comments be used in JSON?

No.

The JSON is data only, and if you include a comment, then it will be data too.

You could have a designated data element called "_comment" (or something) that should be ignored by apps that use the JSON data.

You would probably be better having the comment in the processes that generates/receives the JSON, as they are supposed to know what the JSON data will be in advance, or at least the structure of it.

But if you decided to:

{
   "_comment": "comment text goes here...",
   "glossary": {
      "title": "example glossary",
      "GlossDiv": {
         "title": "S",
         "GlossList": {
            "GlossEntry": {
               "ID": "SGML",
               "SortAs": "SGML",
               "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
               "Acronym": "SGML",
               "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
               "GlossDef": {
                  "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
                  "GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]
               },
               "GlossSee": "markup"
            }
         }

Stop all active ajax requests in jQuery

Here's how to hook this up on any click (useful if your page is placing many AJAX calls and you're trying to navigate away).

$ ->
    $.xhrPool = [];

$(document).ajaxSend (e, jqXHR, options) ->
    $.xhrPool.push(jqXHR)

$(document).ajaxComplete (e, jqXHR, options) ->
    $.xhrPool = $.grep($.xhrPool, (x) -> return x != jqXHR);

$(document).delegate 'a', 'click', ->
    while (request = $.xhrPool.pop())
      request.abort()

SELECT query with CASE condition and SUM()

I don't think you need a case statement. You just need to update your where clause and make sure you have correct parentheses to group the clauses.

SELECT Sum(CAMount) as PaymentAmount 
from TableOrderPayment 
where (CStatus = 'Active' AND CPaymentType = 'Cash') 
OR (CStatus = 'Active' and CPaymentType = 'Check' and CDate<=SYSDATETIME())

The answers posted before mine assume that CDate<=SYSDATETIME() is also appropriate for Cash payment type as well. I think I split mine out so it only looks for that clause for check payments.

How to join two JavaScript Objects, without using JQUERY

1)

var merged = {};
for(key in obj1)
    merged[key] = obj1[key];
for(key in obj2)
    merged[key] = obj2[key];

2)

var merged = {};
Object.keys(obj1).forEach(k => merged[k] = obj1[k]);
Object.keys(obj2).forEach(k => merged[k] = obj2[k]);

OR

Object.keys(obj1)
    .concat(Object.keys(obj2))
    .forEach(k => merged[k] = k in obj2 ? obj2[k] : obj1[k]);

3) Simplest way:

var merged = {};
Object.assign(merged, obj1, obj2);

C pointer to array/array of pointers disambiguation

The answer for the last two can also be deducted from the golden rule in C:

Declaration follows use.

int (*arr2)[8];

What happens if you dereference arr2? You get an array of 8 integers.

int *(arr3[8]);

What happens if you take an element from arr3? You get a pointer to an integer.

This also helps when dealing with pointers to functions. To take sigjuice's example:

float *(*x)(void )

What happens when you dereference x? You get a function that you can call with no arguments. What happens when you call it? It will return a pointer to a float.

Operator precedence is always tricky, though. However, using parentheses can actually also be confusing because declaration follows use. At least, to me, intuitively arr2 looks like an array of 8 pointers to ints, but it is actually the other way around. Just takes some getting used to. Reason enough to always add a comment to these declarations, if you ask me :)

edit: example

By the way, I just stumbled across the following situation: a function that has a static matrix and that uses pointer arithmetic to see if the row pointer is out of bounds. Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define NUM_ELEM(ar) (sizeof(ar) / sizeof((ar)[0]))

int *
put_off(const int newrow[2])
{
    static int mymatrix[3][2];
    static int (*rowp)[2] = mymatrix;
    int (* const border)[] = mymatrix + NUM_ELEM(mymatrix);

    memcpy(rowp, newrow, sizeof(*rowp));
    rowp += 1;
    if (rowp == border) {
        rowp = mymatrix;
    }

    return *rowp;
}

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int i = 0;
    int row[2] = {0, 1};
    int *rout;

    for (i = 0; i &lt; 6; i++) {
        row[0] = i;
        row[1] += i;
        rout = put_off(row);
        printf("%d (%p): [%d, %d]\n", i, (void *) rout, rout[0], rout[1]);
    }

    return 0;
}

Output:

0 (0x804a02c): [0, 0]
1 (0x804a034): [0, 0]
2 (0x804a024): [0, 1]
3 (0x804a02c): [1, 2]
4 (0x804a034): [2, 4]
5 (0x804a024): [3, 7]

Note that the value of border never changes, so the compiler can optimize that away. This is different from what you might initially want to use: const int (*border)[3]: that declares border as a pointer to an array of 3 integers that will not change value as long as the variable exists. However, that pointer may be pointed to any other such array at any time. We want that kind of behaviour for the argument, instead (because this function does not change any of those integers). Declaration follows use.

(p.s.: feel free to improve this sample!)

How do I set up a simple delegate to communicate between two view controllers?

Simple example...

Let's say the child view controller has a UISlider and we want to pass the value of the slider back to the parent via a delegate.

In the child view controller's header file, declare the delegate type and its methods:

ChildViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

// 1. Forward declaration of ChildViewControllerDelegate - this just declares
// that a ChildViewControllerDelegate type exists so that we can use it
// later.
@protocol ChildViewControllerDelegate;

// 2. Declaration of the view controller class, as usual
@interface ChildViewController : UIViewController

// Delegate properties should always be weak references
// See http://stackoverflow.com/a/4796131/263871 for the rationale
// (Tip: If you're not using ARC, use `assign` instead of `weak`)
@property (nonatomic, weak) id<ChildViewControllerDelegate> delegate;

// A simple IBAction method that I'll associate with a close button in
// the UI. We'll call the delegate's childViewController:didChooseValue: 
// method inside this handler.
- (IBAction)handleCloseButton:(id)sender;

@end

// 3. Definition of the delegate's interface
@protocol ChildViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>

- (void)childViewController:(ChildViewController*)viewController 
             didChooseValue:(CGFloat)value;

@end

In the child view controller's implementation, call the delegate methods as required.

ChildViewController.m

#import "ChildViewController.h"

@implementation ChildViewController

- (void)handleCloseButton:(id)sender {
    // Xcode will complain if we access a weak property more than 
    // once here, since it could in theory be nilled between accesses
    // leading to unpredictable results. So we'll start by taking
    // a local, strong reference to the delegate.
    id<ChildViewControllerDelegate> strongDelegate = self.delegate;

    // Our delegate method is optional, so we should 
    // check that the delegate implements it
    if ([strongDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(childViewController:didChooseValue:)]) {
        [strongDelegate childViewController:self didChooseValue:self.slider.value];
    }
}

@end

In the parent view controller's header file, declare that it implements the ChildViewControllerDelegate protocol.

RootViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ChildViewController.h"

@interface RootViewController : UITableViewController <ChildViewControllerDelegate>

@end

In the parent view controller's implementation, implement the delegate methods appropriately.

RootViewController.m

#import "RootViewController.h"

@implementation RootViewController

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    ChildViewController *detailViewController = [[ChildViewController alloc] init];
    // Assign self as the delegate for the child view controller
    detailViewController.delegate = self;
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
}

// Implement the delegate methods for ChildViewControllerDelegate
- (void)childViewController:(ChildViewController *)viewController didChooseValue:(CGFloat)value {

    // Do something with value...

    // ...then dismiss the child view controller
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

@end

Hope this helps!

Check for special characters in string

I suggest using RegExp .test() function to check for a pattern match, and the only thing you need to change is remove the start/end of line anchors (and the * quantifier is also redundant) in the regex:

The anchors (like ^ start of string/line, $ end od string/line and \b word boundaries) can restrict matches at specific places in a string. When using ^ the regex engine checks if the next subpattern appears right at the start of the string (or line if /m modifier is declared in the regex). Same case with $: the preceding subpattern should match right at the end of the string.

In your case, you want to check the existence of the special character from the set anywhere in the string. Even if it is only one, you want to return false. Thus, you should remove the anchors, and the quantifier *. The * quantifier would match even an empty string, thus we must remove it in order to actually check for the presence of at least 1 special character (actually, without any quantifiers we check for exactly one occurrence, same as if we were using {1} limiting quantifier).

How to show first commit by 'git log'?

Short answer

git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD

(from tiho's comment. As Chris Johnsen notices, --max-parents was introduced after this answer was posted.)

Explanation

Technically, there may be more than one root commit. This happens when multiple previously independent histories are merged together. It is common when a project is integrated via a subtree merge.

The git.git repository has six root commits in its history graph (one each for Linus’s initial commit, gitk, some initially separate tools, git-gui, gitweb, and git-p4). In this case, we know that e83c516 is the one we are probably interested in. It is both the earliest commit and a root commit.

It is not so simple in the general case.

Imagine that libfoo has been in development for a while and keeps its history in a Git repository (libfoo.git). Independently, the “bar” project has also been under development (in bar.git), but not for as long libfoo (the commit with the earliest date in libfoo.git has a date that precedes the commit with the earliest date in bar.git). At some point the developers of “bar” decide to incorporate libfoo into their project by using a subtree merge. Prior to this merge it might have been trivial to determine the “first” commit in bar.git (there was probably only one root commit). After the merge, however, there are multiple root commits and the earliest root commit actually comes from the history of libfoo, not “bar”.

You can find all the root commits of the history DAG like this:

git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD

For the record, if --max-parents weren't available, this does also work:

git rev-list --parents HEAD | egrep "^[a-f0-9]{40}$"

If you have useful tags in place, then git name-rev might give you a quick overview of the history:

git rev-list --parents HEAD | egrep "^[a-f0-9]{40}$" | git name-rev --stdin

Bonus

Use this often? Hard to remember? Add a git alias for quick access

git config --global alias.first "rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD"

Now you can simply do

git first

How to fix the Hibernate "object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing" error

Simple way of solving this issue is save the both entity. first save the child entity and then save the parent entity. Because parent entity is depend on child entity for the foreign key value.

Below simple exam of one to one relationship

insert into Department (name, numOfemp, Depno) values (?, ?, ?)
Hibernate: insert into Employee (SSN, dep_Depno, firstName, lastName, middleName, empno) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)

Session session=sf.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(dep);
        session.save(emp);

jQuery to loop through elements with the same class

Try this example

Html

<div class="testimonial" data-index="1">
    Testimonial 1
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="2">
    Testimonial 2
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="3">
    Testimonial 3
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="4">
    Testimonial 4
</div>
<div class="testimonial" data-index="5">
    Testimonial 5
</div>

When we want to access those divs which has data-index greater than 2 then we need this jquery.

$('div[class="testimonial"]').each(function(index,item){
    if(parseInt($(item).data('index'))>2){
        $(item).html('Testimonial '+(index+1)+' by each loop');
    }
});

How to solve privileges issues when restore PostgreSQL Database

For people using AWS, the COMMENT ON EXTENSION is possible only as superuser, and as we know by the docs, RDS instances are managed by Amazon. As such, to prevent you from breaking things like replication, your users - even the root user you set up when you create the instance - will not have full superuser privileges:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.PostgreSQL.CommonDBATasks.html

When you create a DB instance, the master user system account that you create is assigned to the rds_superuser role. The rds_superuser role is a pre-defined Amazon RDS role similar to the PostgreSQL superuser role (customarily named postgres in local instances), but with some restrictions. As with the PostgreSQL superuser role, the rds_superuser role has the most privileges on your DB instance and you should not assign this role to users unless they need the most access to the DB instance.

In order to fix this error, just use -- to comment out the lines of SQL that contains COMMENT ON EXTENSION

How can I check the size of a collection within a Django template?

How do I rename a MySQL schema?

If you're on the Model Overview page you get a tab with the schema. If you rightclick on that tab you get an option to "edit schema". From there you can rename the schema by adding a new name, then click outside the field. This goes for MySQL Workbench 5.2.30 CE

Edit: On the model overview it's under Physical Schemata

Expand div to max width when float:left is set

And based on merkuro's solution, if you would like maximize the one on the left, you should use:

Best way to compare two complex objects

Use IEquatable<T> Interface which has a method Equals.

Python Turtle, draw text with on screen with larger font

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

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

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

turtle.fillcolor("blue")

or just:

turtle.color("orange")

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

Using BigDecimal to work with currencies

NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(java.util.Locale.US).format(num);

json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type

You JSON doesn't match your struct fields: E.g. "district" in JSON and "District" as the field.

Also: Your Item is a slice type but your JSON is a dict value. Do not mix this up. Slices decode from arrays.

What's the difference between VARCHAR and CHAR?

Char has a fixed length (supports 2000 characters), it is stand for character is a data type

Varchar has a variable length (supports 4000 characters)

Group by in LINQ

The following example uses the GroupBy method to return objects that are grouped by PersonID.

var results = persons.GroupBy(x => x.PersonID)
              .Select(x => (PersonID: x.Key, Cars: x.Select(p => p.car).ToList())
              ).ToList();

Or

 var results = persons.GroupBy(
               person => person.PersonID,
               (key, groupPerson) => (PersonID: key, Cars: groupPerson.Select(x => x.car).ToList()));

Or

 var results = from person in persons
               group person by person.PersonID into groupPerson
               select (PersonID: groupPerson.Key, Cars: groupPerson.Select(x => x.car).ToList());

Or you can use ToLookup, Basically ToLookup uses EqualityComparer<TKey>.Default to compare keys and do what you should do manually when using group by and to dictionary. i think it's excuted inmemory

 ILookup<int, string> results = persons.ToLookup(
            person => person.PersonID,
            person => person.car);

Import one schema into another new schema - Oracle

After you correct the possible dmp file problem, this is a way to ensure that the schema is remapped and imported appropriately. This will also ensure that the tablespace will change also, if needed:

impdp system/<password> SCHEMAS=user1 remap_schema=user1:user2 \
            remap_tablespace=user1:user2 directory=EXPORTDIR \
            dumpfile=user1.dmp logfile=E:\Data\user1.log

EXPORTDIR must be defined in oracle as a directory as the system user

create or replace directory EXPORTDIR as 'E:\Data';
grant read, write on directory EXPORTDIR to user2;

Add an object to an Array of a custom class

If you want to create a garage and fill it up with new cars that can be accessed later, use this code:

for (int i = 0; i < garage.length; i++)
     garage[i] = new Car("argument");

Also, the cars are later accessed using:

garage[0];
garage[1];
garage[2];
etc.

3-dimensional array in numpy

As much as people like to say "order doesn't matter its just convention" this breaks down when entering cross domain interfaces, IE transfer from C ordering to Fortran ordering or some other ordering scheme. There, precisely how your data is layed out and how shape is represented in numpy is very important.

By default, numpy uses C ordering, which means contiguous elements in memory are the elements stored in rows. You can also do FORTRAN ordering ("F"), this instead orders elements based on columns, indexing contiguous elements.

Numpy's shape further has its own order in which it displays the shape. In numpy, shape is largest stride first, ie, in a 3d vector, it would be the least contiguous dimension, Z, or pages, 3rd dim etc... So when executing:

np.zeros((2,3,4)).shape

you will get

(2,3,4)

which is actually (frames, rows, columns). doing np.zeros((2,2,3,4)).shape instead would mean (metaframs, frames, rows, columns). This makes more sense when you think of creating multidimensional arrays in C like langauges. For C++, creating a non contiguously defined 4D array results in an array [ of arrays [ of arrays [ of elements ]]]. This forces you to de reference the first array that holds all the other arrays (4th dimension) then the same all the way down (3rd, 2nd, 1st) resulting in syntax like:

double element = array4d[w][z][y][x];

In fortran, this indexed ordering is reversed (x is instead first array4d[x][y][z][w]), most contiguous to least contiguous and in matlab, it gets all weird.

Matlab tried to preserve both mathematical default ordering (row, column) but also use column major internally for libraries, and not follow C convention of dimensional ordering. In matlab, you order this way:

double element = array4d[y][x][z][w];

which deifies all convention and creates weird situations where you are sometimes indexing as if row ordered and sometimes column ordered (such as with matrix creation).

In reality, Matlab is the unintuitive one, not Numpy.

How to create id with AUTO_INCREMENT on Oracle?

it is called Identity Columns and it is available only from oracle Oracle 12c

CREATE TABLE identity_test_tab
(
   id            NUMBER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   description   VARCHAR2 (30)
);

example of insert into Identity Columns as below

INSERT INTO identity_test_tab (description) VALUES ('Just DESCRIPTION');

1 row created.

you can NOT do insert like below

INSERT INTO identity_test_tab (id, description) VALUES (NULL, 'ID=NULL and DESCRIPTION');

ERROR at line 1: ORA-32795: cannot insert into a generated always identity column

INSERT INTO identity_test_tab (id, description) VALUES (999, 'ID=999 and DESCRIPTION');

ERROR at line 1: ORA-32795: cannot insert into a generated always identity column

How can I determine browser window size on server side C#

So here is how you will do it.

Write a javascript function which fires whenever the window is resized.

window.onresize = function(event) {
    var height=$(window).height();
    var width=$(window).width();
    $.ajax({
     url: "/getwindowsize.ashx",
     type: "POST",
     data : { Height: height, 
              Width:width, 
              selectedValue:selectedValue },
     contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
     dataType: "json",
     success: function (response) { 
           // do stuff
     }

}

Codebehind of Handler:

 public class getwindowsize : IHttpHandler {

public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
    context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
     string Height = context.Request.QueryString["Height"]; 
     string Width = context.Request.QueryString["Width"]; 
    }

Add a column to a table, if it does not already exist

You can use a similar construct by using the sys.columns table io sys.objects.

IF NOT EXISTS (
  SELECT * 
  FROM   sys.columns 
  WHERE  object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[Person]') 
         AND name = 'ColumnName'
)

Read SQL Table into C# DataTable

Lots of ways.

Use ADO.Net and use fill on the data adapter to get a DataTable:

using (SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter
    = new SqlDataAdapter ("SELECT blah FROM blahblah ", sqlConn))
{
    // create the DataSet 
    DataSet dataSet = new DataSet(); 
    // fill the DataSet using our DataAdapter 
    dataAdapter.Fill (dataSet);
}

You can then get the data table out of the dataset.

Note in the upvoted answer dataset isn't used, (It appeared after my answer) It does

// create data adapter
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
// this will query your database and return the result to your datatable
da.Fill(dataTable);

Which is preferable to mine.

I would strongly recommend looking at entity framework though ... using datatables and datasets isn't a great idea. There is no type safety on them which means debugging can only be done at run time. With strongly typed collections (that you can get from using LINQ2SQL or entity framework) your life will be a lot easier.

Edit: Perhaps I wasn't clear: Datatables = good, datasets = evil. If you are using ADO.Net then you can use both of these technologies (EF, linq2sql, dapper, nhibernate, orm of the month) as they generally sit on top of ado.net. The advantage you get is that you can update your model far easier as your schema changes provided you have the right level of abstraction by levering code generation.

The ado.net adapter uses providers that expose the type info of the database, for instance by default it uses a sql server provider, you can also plug in - for instance - devart postgress provider and still get access to the type info which will then allow you to as above use your orm of choice (almost painlessly - there are a few quirks) - i believe Microsoft also provide an oracle provider. The ENTIRE purpose of this is to abstract away from the database implementation where possible.
