Programs & Examples On #Shadows

Shadows can refer to the background shading often used to produce a 3D effect. Alternatively it is a Keyword in VB.NET and has an OOP meaning of redefining base methods.

How to set shadows in React Native for android?

I added borderBottomWidth: 0 and it worked fine for me in android.

What is the problem with shadowing names defined in outer scopes?

data = [4, 5, 6] # Your global variable

def print_data(data): # <-- Pass in a parameter called "data"
    print data  # <-- Note: You can access global variable inside your function, BUT for now, which is which? the parameter or the global variable? Confused, huh?

print_data(data)

Alternative to header("Content-type: text/xml");

Now I see what you are doing. You cannot send output to the screen then change the headers. If you are trying to create an XML file of map marker and download them to display, they should be in separate files.

Take this

<?php
require("database.php");
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','&lt;',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','&gt;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','&quot;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'&#39;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&amp;',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'name="' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '" ';
  echo 'address="' . parseToXML($row['address']) . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
}
// End XML file
echo '</markers>';
?>

and place it in phpsqlajax_genxml.php so your javascript can download the XML file. You are trying to do too many things in the same file.

What's the best way to add a drop shadow to my UIView

You can create an extension for UIView to access these values in the design editor

Shadow options in design editor

extension UIView{

    @IBInspectable var shadowOffset: CGSize{
        get{
            return self.layer.shadowOffset
        }
        set{
            self.layer.shadowOffset = newValue
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var shadowColor: UIColor{
        get{
            return UIColor(cgColor: self.layer.shadowColor!)
        }
        set{
            self.layer.shadowColor = newValue.cgColor
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var shadowRadius: CGFloat{
        get{
            return self.layer.shadowRadius
        }
        set{
            self.layer.shadowRadius = newValue
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var shadowOpacity: Float{
        get{
            return self.layer.shadowOpacity
        }
        set{
            self.layer.shadowOpacity = newValue
        }
    }
}

How can I make my website's background transparent without making the content (images & text) transparent too?

I would agree with @evillinux, It would be best to make your background image semi transparent so it supports < ie8

The other suggestions of using another div are also a great option, and it's the way to go if you want to do this in css. For example if the site had such features as selecting your own background color. I would suggest using a filter for older IE. eg:

filter:Alpha(opacity=50)

Is there a way to use two CSS3 box shadows on one element?

You can comma-separate shadows:

box-shadow: inset 0 2px 0px #dcffa6, 0 2px 5px #000;

Box shadow in IE7 and IE8

Use CSS3 PIE, which emulates some CSS3 properties in older versions of IE.

It supports box-shadow (except for the inset keyword).

Drop shadow for PNG image in CSS

There's a proposed feature which you could use for arbitrarily shaped drop shadows. You could see it here, courtesy of Lea Verou:

http://www.netmagazine.com/features/hot-web-standards-css-blending-modes-and-filters-shadow-dom

Browser support is minimal, though.

Inner text shadow with CSS

This looks like it's working: http://tips4php.net/2010/08/nice-css-text-shadow-effects/

He's using multiple shadows to achieve that effect as explained here: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/text-shadow#multiple

Android - shadow on text?

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="20dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:shadowColor="#000"
        android:shadowDx="0"
        android:shadowDy="0"
        android:shadowRadius="50"
        android:text="Text Shadow Example1"
        android:textColor="#FBFBFB"
        android:textSize="28dp"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="Text Shadow Example2"
        android:textColor="#FBFBFB"
        android:textSize="28dp"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

</LinearLayout>

In the above XML layout code, the textview1 is given with Shadow effect in the layout. below are the configuration items are

android:shadowDx – specifies the X-axis offset of shadow. You can give -/+ values, where -Dx draws a shadow on the left of text and +Dx on the right

android:shadowDy – it specifies the Y-axis offset of shadow. -Dy specifies a shadow above the text and +Dy specifies below the text.

android:shadowRadius – specifies how much the shadow should be blurred at the edges. Provide a small value if shadow needs to be prominent. android:shadowColor – specifies the shadow color


Shadow Effect on Android TextView pragmatically

Use below code snippet to get the shadow effect on the second TextView pragmatically.

TextView textv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview2);
textv.setShadowLayer(30, 0, 0, Color.RED);        

Output :

enter image description here

iPhone UILabel text soft shadow

While it's impossible to set a blur radius directly on UILabel, you definitely could change it by manipulating CALayer.

Just set:

//Required properties
customLabel.layer.shadowRadius = 5.0 //set shadow radius to your desired value.
customLabel.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0 //Choose an opacity. Make sure it's visible (default is 0.0)

//Other options
customLabel.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
customLabel.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
customLabel.layer.masksToBounds = false

What I hope will help someone and other answers failed to clarify is that it will not work if you also set UILabel Shadow Color property directly on Interface Builder while trying to setup .layer.shadowRadius.

So if setting label.layer.shadowRadius didn't work, please verify Shadow Color for this UILabel on Interface Builder. It should be set to default. And then, please, if you want a shadow color other than black, set this color also through .layer property.

enter image description here

How do I draw a shadow under a UIView?

A by far easier approach is to set some layer attributes of the view on initialization:

self.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-15, 20);
self.layer.shadowRadius = 5;
self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;

You need to import QuartzCore.

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

git stash blunder: git stash pop and ended up with merge conflicts

Note that Git 2.5 (Q2 2015) a future Git might try to make that scenario impossible.

See commit ed178ef by Jeff King (peff), 22 Apr 2015.
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 05c3967, 19 May 2015)

Note: This has been reverted. See below.

stash: require a clean index to apply/pop

Problem

If you have staged contents in your index and run "stash apply/pop", we may hit a conflict and put new entries into the index.
Recovering to your original state is difficult at that point, because tools like "git reset --keep" will blow away anything staged.

In other words:

"git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working tree is clean but also the index is clean.
The latter is important as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for conflict resolution.

Solution

We can make this safer by refusing to apply when there are staged changes.

That means if there were merges before because of applying a stash on modified files (added but not committed), now they would not be any merges because the stash apply/pop would stop immediately with:

Cannot apply stash: Your index contains uncommitted changes.

Forcing you to commit the changes means that, in case of merges, you can easily restore the initial state( before git stash apply/pop) with a git reset --hard.


See commit 1937610 (15 Jun 2015), and commit ed178ef (22 Apr 2015) by Jeff King (peff).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit bfb539b, 24 Jun 2015)

That commit was an attempt to improve the safety of applying a stash, because the application process may create conflicted index entries, after which it is hard to restore the original index state.

Unfortunately, this hurts some common workflows around "git stash -k", like:

git add -p       ;# (1) stage set of proposed changes
git stash -k     ;# (2) get rid of everything else
make test        ;# (3) make sure proposal is reasonable
git stash apply  ;# (4) restore original working tree

If you "git commit" between steps (3) and (4), then this just works. However, if these steps are part of a pre-commit hook, you don't have that opportunity (you have to restore the original state regardless of whether the tests passed or failed).

How can I plot separate Pandas DataFrames as subplots?

You can plot multiple subplots of multiple pandas data frames using matplotlib with a simple trick of making a list of all data frame. Then using the for loop for plotting subplots.

Working code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# dataframe sample data
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df3 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df4 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df5 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df6 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
#define number of rows and columns for subplots
nrow=3
ncol=2
# make a list of all dataframes 
df_list = [df1 ,df2, df3, df4, df5, df6]
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrow, ncol)
# plot counter
count=0
for r in range(nrow):
    for c in range(ncol):
        df_list[count].plot(ax=axes[r,c])
        count=+1

enter image description here

Using this code you can plot subplots in any configuration. You need to just define number of rows nrow and number of columns ncol. Also, you need to make list of data frames df_list which you wanted to plot.

Vertically aligning text next to a radio button

You need to align the text to the left of radio button using float:left

input[type="radio"]{
float:left;
}

You may use label too for more responsive output.

How do I remove objects from a JavaScript associative array?

For "Arrays":

If you know the index:

array.splice(index, 1);

If you know the value:

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

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

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

How do I create variable variables?

The SimpleNamespace class could be used to create new attributes with setattr, or subclass SimpleNamespace and create your own function to add new attribute names (variables).

from types import SimpleNamespace

variables = {"b":"B","c":"C"}
a = SimpleNamespace(**variables)
setattr(a,"g","G")
a.g = "G+"
something = a.a

jquery.ajax Access-Control-Allow-Origin

At my work we have our restful services on a different port number and the data resides in db2 on a pair of AS400s. We typically use the $.getJSON AJAX method because it easily returns JSONP using the ?callback=? without having any issues with CORS.

data ='USER=<?echo trim($USER)?>' +
         '&QRYTYPE=' + $("input[name=QRYTYPE]:checked").val();

        //Call the REST program/method returns: JSONP 
        $.getJSON( "http://www.stackoverflow.com/rest/resttest?callback=?",data)
        .done(function( json ) {        

              //  loading...
                if ($.trim(json.ERROR) != '') {
                    $("#error-msg").text(message).show();
                }
                else{
                    $(".error").hide();
                    $("#jsonp").text(json.whatever);

                }

        })  
        .fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus, error ) {
        var err = textStatus + ", " + error;
        alert('Unable to Connect to Server.\n Try again Later.\n Request Failed: ' + err);
        });     

Fatal error: Class 'PHPMailer' not found

This answers in an extension to what avs099 has given above, for those who are still having problems:

1.Makesure that you have php_openssl.dll installed(else find it online and install it);

2.Go to your php.ini; find extension=php_openssl.dll enable it/uncomment

3.Go to github and downland the latetest version :6.0 at this time.

4.Extract the master copy into the path that works better for you(I recommend the same directory as the calling file)

Now copy this code into your foo-mailer.php and render it with your gmail stmp authentications.

    require("/PHPMailer-master/src/PHPMailer.php");
    require("/PHPMailer-master/src/SMTP.php");
    require("/PHPMailer-master/src/Exception.php");


    $mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
    $mail->IsSMTP(); 

    $mail->CharSet="UTF-8";
    $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    $mail->SMTPDebug = 1; 
    $mail->Port = 465 ; //465 or 587

     $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';  
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
    $mail->IsHTML(true);

    //Authentication
    $mail->Username = "[email protected]";
    $mail->Password = "*******";

    //Set Params
    $mail->SetFrom("[email protected]");
    $mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
    $mail->Subject = "Test";
    $mail->Body = "hello";


     if(!$mail->Send()) {
        echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
     } else {
        echo "Message has been sent";
     }

Disclaimer:The original owner of the code above is avs099 with just my little input.

Take note of the additional:

a) (PHPMailer\PHPMailer) namespace:needed for name conflict resolution.

b) The (require("/PHPMailer-master/src/Exception.php");):It was missing in avs099's code thus the problem encountered by aProgger,you need that line to tell the mailer class where the Exception class is located.

How should you diagnose the error SEHException - External component has thrown an exception

Just another information... Had that problem today on a Windows 2012 R2 x64 TS system where the application was started from a unc/network path. The issue occured for one application for all terminal server users. Executing the application locally worked without problems. After a reboot it started working again - the SEHException's thrown had been Constructor init and TargetInvocationException

A component is changing an uncontrolled input of type text to be controlled error in ReactJS

Warning: A component is changing an uncontrolled input of type text to be controlled. Input elements should not switch from uncontrolled to controlled (or vice versa). Decide between using a controlled or uncontrolled input element for the lifetime of the component.

Solution : Check if value is not undefined

Total width of element (including padding and border) in jQuery

Anyone else stumbling upon this answer should note that jQuery now (>=1.3) has outerHeight/outerWidth functions to retrieve the width including padding/borders, e.g.

$(elem).outerWidth(); // Returns the width + padding + borders

To include the margin as well, simply pass true:

$(elem).outerWidth( true ); // Returns the width + padding + borders + margins

    android:background="@drawable/your_fileName"

How to perform Join between multiple tables in LINQ lambda

For joins, I strongly prefer query-syntax for all the details that are happily hidden (not the least of which are the transparent identifiers involved with the intermediate projections along the way that are apparent in the dot-syntax equivalent). However, you asked regarding Lambdas which I think you have everything you need - you just need to put it all together.

var categorizedProducts = product
    .Join(productcategory, p => p.Id, pc => pc.ProdId, (p, pc) => new { p, pc })
    .Join(category, ppc => ppc.pc.CatId, c => c.Id, (ppc, c) => new { ppc, c })
    .Select(m => new { 
        ProdId = m.ppc.p.Id, // or m.ppc.pc.ProdId
        CatId = m.c.CatId
        // other assignments
    });

If you need to, you can save the join into a local variable and reuse it later, however lacking other details to the contrary, I see no reason to introduce the local variable.

Also, you could throw the Select into the last lambda of the second Join (again, provided there are no other operations that depend on the join results) which would give:

var categorizedProducts = product
    .Join(productcategory, p => p.Id, pc => pc.ProdId, (p, pc) => new { p, pc })
    .Join(category, ppc => ppc.pc.CatId, c => c.Id, (ppc, c) => new {
        ProdId = ppc.p.Id, // or ppc.pc.ProdId
        CatId = c.CatId
        // other assignments
    });

...and making a last attempt to sell you on query syntax, this would look like this:

var categorizedProducts =
    from p in product
    join pc in productcategory on p.Id equals pc.ProdId
    join c in category on pc.CatId equals c.Id
    select new {
        ProdId = p.Id, // or pc.ProdId
        CatId = c.CatId
        // other assignments
    };

Your hands may be tied on whether query-syntax is available. I know some shops have such mandates - often based on the notion that query-syntax is somewhat more limited than dot-syntax. There are other reasons, like "why should I learn a second syntax if I can do everything and more in dot-syntax?" As this last part shows - there are details that query-syntax hides that can make it well worth embracing with the improvement to readability it brings: all those intermediate projections and identifiers you have to cook-up are happily not front-and-center-stage in the query-syntax version - they are background fluff. Off my soap-box now - anyhow, thanks for the question. :)

Copy data from one column to other column (which is in a different table)

Now it's more easy with management studio 2016.

Using SQL Server Management Studio

To copy data from one table to another

1.Open the table with columns you want to copy and the one you want to copy into by right-clicking the tables, and then clicking Design.

2.Click the tab for the table with the columns you want to copy and select those columns.

3.From the Edit menu, click Copy.

4.Open a new Query Editor window.

5.Right-click the Query Editor, and then click Design Query in Editor.

6.In the Add Table dialog box, select the source and destination table, click Add, and then close the Add Table dialog box.

7.Right-click an open area of the the Query Editor, point to Change Type, and then click Insert Results.

8.In the Choose Target Table for Insert Results dialog box, select the destination table.

9.In the upper portion of the Query Designer, click the source column in the source table.

10.The Query Designer has now created an INSERT query. Click OK to place the query into the original Query Editor window.

11.Execute the query to insert the data from the source table to the destination table.

Creating an iframe with given HTML dynamically

The URL approach will only work for small HTML fragements. The more solid approach is to generate an object URL from a blob and use it as a source of the dynamic iframe.

const html = '<html>...</html>';
const iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
const blob = new Blob([html], {type: 'text/html'});
iframe.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
document.body.appendChild(iframe);

PostgreSQL IF statement

From the docs

IF boolean-expression THEN
    statements
ELSE
    statements
END IF;

So in your above example the code should look as follows:

IF select count(*) from orders > 0
THEN
  DELETE from orders
ELSE 
  INSERT INTO orders values (1,2,3);
END IF;

You were missing: END IF;

how to remove json object key and value.?

I had issues with trying to delete a returned JSON object and found that it was actually a string. If you JSON.parse() before deleting you can be sure your key will get deleted.

let obj;
console.log(this.getBody()); // {"AED":3.6729,"AZN":1.69805,"BRL":4.0851}
obj = this.getBody();
delete obj["BRL"];
console.log(obj) // {"AED":3.6729,"AZN":1.69805,"BRL":4.0851}
obj = JSON.parse(this.getBody());
delete obj["BRL"];
console.log(obj) // {"AED":3.6729,"AZN":1.69805}

Use a.any() or a.all()

You comment:

valeur is a vector equal to [ 0. 1. 2. 3.] I am interested in each single term. For the part below 0.6, then return "this works"....

If you are interested in each term, then write the code so it deals with each. For example.

for b in valeur<=0.6:
    if b:
        print ("this works")
    else:   
        print ("valeur is too high")

This will write 2 lines.

The error is produced by numpy code when you try to use it a context that expects a single, scalar, value. if b:... can only do one thing. It does not, by itself, iterate through the elements of b doing a different thing for each.

You could also cast that iteration as list comprehension, e.g.

['yes' if b else 'no' for b in np.array([True, False, True])]

PHP Session Destroy on Log Out Button

First give the link of logout.php page in that logout button.In that page make the code which is given below:

Here is the code:

<?php
 session_start();
 session_destroy();
?>

When the session has started, the session for the last/current user has been started, so don't need to declare the username. It will be deleted automatically by the session_destroy method.

Is there any way I can define a variable in LaTeX?

This works for me: \newcommand{\variablename}{the text}

For eg: \newcommand\m{100}

So when you type " \m\ is my mark " in the source code,

the pdf output displays as :

100 is my mark

How do I get the size of a java.sql.ResultSet?

The way of getting size of ResultSet, No need of using ArrayList etc

int size =0;  
if (rs != null)   
{  
rs.beforeFirst();  
 rs.last();  
size = rs.getRow();
}

Now You will get size, And if you want print the ResultSet, before printing use following line of code too,

rs.beforeFirst();  

Difference between matches() and find() in Java Regex

find() will consider the sub-string against the regular expression where as matches() will consider complete expression.

find() will returns true only if the sub-string of the expression matches the pattern.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d");
        String candidate = "Java123";
        Matcher m = p.matcher(candidate);

        if (m != null){
            System.out.println(m.find());//true
            System.out.println(m.matches());//false
        }
    }

Center text output from Graphics.DrawString()

Through a combination of the suggestions I got, I came up with this:

    private void DrawLetter()
    {
        Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();

        float width = ((float)this.ClientRectangle.Width);
        float height = ((float)this.ClientRectangle.Width);

        float emSize = height;

        Font font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, emSize, FontStyle.Regular);

        font = FindBestFitFont(g, letter.ToString(), font, this.ClientRectangle.Size);

        SizeF size = g.MeasureString(letter.ToString(), font);
        g.DrawString(letter, font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), (width-size.Width)/2, 0);

    }

    private Font FindBestFitFont(Graphics g, String text, Font font, Size proposedSize)
    {
        // Compute actual size, shrink if needed
        while (true)
        {
            SizeF size = g.MeasureString(text, font);

            // It fits, back out
            if (size.Height <= proposedSize.Height &&
                 size.Width <= proposedSize.Width) { return font; }

            // Try a smaller font (90% of old size)
            Font oldFont = font;
            font = new Font(font.Name, (float)(font.Size * .9), font.Style);
            oldFont.Dispose();
        }
    }

So far, this works flawlessly.

The only thing I would change is to move the FindBestFitFont() call to the OnResize() event so that I'm not calling it every time I draw a letter. It only needs to be called when the control size changes. I just included it in the function for completeness.

The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size

This issue can be resolved by setting the higher values for the MySQL variable innodb_buffer_pool_size. The default value for innodb_buffer_pool_size will be 8,388,608.

To change the settings value for innodb_buffer_pool_size please see the below set.

  1. Locate the file my.cnf from the server. For Linux servers this will be mostly at /etc/my.cnf
  2. Add the line innodb_buffer_pool_size=64MB to this file
  3. Restart the MySQL server

To restart the MySQL server, you can use anyone of the below 2 options:

  1. service mysqld restart
  2. /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Reference The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size

How to add elements to a list in R (loop)

You should not add to your list using c inside the loop, because that can result in very very slow code. Basically when you do c(l, new_element), the whole contents of the list are copied. Instead of that, you need to access the elements of the list by index. If you know how long your list is going to be, it's best to initialise it to this size using l <- vector("list", N). If you don't you can initialise it to have length equal to some large number (e.g if you have an upper bound on the number of iterations) and then just pick the non-NULL elements after the loop has finished. Anyway, the basic point is that you should have an index to keep track of the list element and add using that eg

i <- 1
while(...) {
    l[[i]] <- new_element
    i <- i + 1
}

For more info have a look at Patrick Burns' The R Inferno (Chapter 2).

Remove duplicate values from JS array

Although ES6 Solution is the best, I'm baffled as to how nobody has shown the following solution:

function removeDuplicates(arr){
    o={}
    arr.forEach(function(e){
        o[e]=true
    })
    return Object.keys(o)
}

The thing to remember here is that objects MUST have unique keys. We are exploiting this to remove all the duplicates. I would have thought this would be the fastest solution (before ES6).

Bear in mind though that this also sorts the array.

How can I move HEAD back to a previous location? (Detached head) & Undo commits

Today, I mistakenly checked out on a commit and started working on it, making some commits on a detach HEAD state. Then I pushed to the remote branch using the following command:

git push origin HEAD: <My-remote-branch>

Then

git checkout <My-remote-branch>

Then

git pull

I finally got my all changes in my branch that I made in detach HEAD.

Is it possible to decompile an Android .apk file?

I may also add, that nowadays it is possible to decompile Android application online, no software needed!

Here are 2 options for you:

Getting the actual usedrange

Timings on Excel 2013 fairly slow machine with a big bad used range million rows:

26ms Cells.Find xlPrevious method (as above)

0.4ms Sheet.UsedRange (just call it)

0.14ms Counta binary search + 0.4ms Used Range to start search (12 CountA calls)

So the Find xlPrevious is quite slow if that is of concern.

The CountA binary search approach is to first do a Used Range. Then chop the range in half and see if there are any non-empty cells in the bottom half, and then halve again as needed. It is tricky to get right.

Prevent redirect after form is submitted

You should post it with ajax, this will stop it from changing the page, and you will still get the information back.

$(function() {
    $('form').submit(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'submit.php',
            data: { username: $(this).name.value, 
                    password: $(this).password.value }
        });
        return false;
    }); 
})

See Post documentation for JQuery

Best practice to return errors in ASP.NET Web API

You can use custom ActionFilter in Web Api to validate model:

public class DRFValidationFilters : ActionFilterAttribute
{

    public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext actionContext)
    {
        if (!actionContext.ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            actionContext.Response = actionContext.Request
                .CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, actionContext.ModelState);

            //BadRequest(actionContext.ModelState);
        }
    }

    public override Task OnActionExecutingAsync(HttpActionContext actionContext,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {

        return Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
        {
            if (!actionContext.ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                actionContext.Response = actionContext.Request
                    .CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, actionContext.ModelState);
            }
        });
    }

    public class AspirantModel
    {
        public int AspirantId { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string MiddleName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        public string AspirantType { get; set; }
        [RegularExpression(@"^\(?([0-9]{3})\)?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$",
            ErrorMessage = "Not a valid Phone number")]
        public string MobileNumber { get; set; }
        public int StateId { get; set; }
        public int CityId { get; set; }
        public int CenterId { get; set; }


        [HttpPost]
        [Route("AspirantCreate")]
        [DRFValidationFilters]
        public IHttpActionResult Create(AspirantModel aspirant)
        {
            if (aspirant != null)
            {

            }
            else
            {
                return Conflict();
            }

            return Ok();
        }
    }
}

Register CustomAttribute class in webApiConfig.cs config.Filters.Add(new DRFValidationFilters());

python "TypeError: 'numpy.float64' object cannot be interpreted as an integer"

N=np.floor(np.divide(l,delta))
...
for j in range(N[i]/2):

N[i]/2 will be a float64 but range() expects an integer. Just cast the call to

for j in range(int(N[i]/2)):

Running PHP script from the command line

On SuSE, there are two different configuration files for PHP: one for Apache, and one for CLI (command line interface). In the /etc/php5/ directory, you will find an "apache2" directory and a "cli" directory. Each has a "php.ini" file. The files are for the same purpose (php configuration), but apply to the two different ways of running PHP. These files, among other things, load the modules PHP uses.

If your OS is similar, then these two files are probably not the same. Your Apache php.ini is probably loading the gearman module, while the cli php.ini isn't. When the module was installed (auto or manual), it probably only updated the Apache php.ini file.

You could simply copy the Apache php.ini file over into the cli directory to make the CLI environment exactly like the Apache environment.

Or, you could find the line that loads the gearman module in the Apache file and copy/paste just it to the CLI file.

How do I revert an SVN commit?

The following will do a dry run, as it says. HEAD being current version, PREV is previous, then the path to your file, or committed item:

svn merge --dry-run -rHEAD:PREV https://example.com/svn/myproject/trunk

If the dry run looks good, run the command without the --dry-run

Verify the change in revision and re-commit. To browse for version numbers try:

svn log

How to add a custom CA Root certificate to the CA Store used by pip in Windows?

I think nt86's solution is the most appropriate because it leverages the underlying Windows infrastructure (certificate store). But it doesn't explain how to install python-certifi-win32 to start with since pip is non functional.

The trick is to use --trustedhost to install python-certifi-win32 and then after that, pip will automatically use the windows certificate store to load the certificate used by the proxy.

So in a nutshell, you should do:

pip install python-certifi-win32 -trustedhost pypi.org

and after that you should be good to go

user authentication libraries for node.js?

If you are looking for an authentication framework for Connect or Express, Passport is worth investigating: https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport

(Disclosure: I'm the developer of Passport)

I developed Passport after investigating both connect-auth and everyauth. While they are both great modules, they didn't suit my needs. I wanted something that was more light-weight and unobtrusive.

Passport is broken down into separate modules, so you can choose to use only what you need (OAuth, only if necessary). Passport also does not mount any routes in your application, giving you the flexibility to decide when and where you want authentication, and hooks to control what happens when authentication succeeds or fails.

For example, here is the two-step process to setup form-based (username and password) authentication:

passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
  function(username, password, done) {
    // Find the user from your DB (MongoDB, CouchDB, other...)
    User.findOne({ username: username, password: password }, function (err, user) {
      done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

app.post('/login', 
  passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Authentication successful. Redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Additional strategies are available for authentication via Facebook, Twitter, etc. Custom strategies can be plugged-in, if necessary.

phpinfo() is not working on my CentOS server

You need to update your Apache configuration to make sure it's outputting php as the type text/HTML.

How do I center this form in css?

You can use the following CSS to center the form (note that it is important to set the width to something that isn´t 'auto' for this to work):

form {
   margin-left:auto;
   margin-right:auto;
   width:100px;
}

DataTables: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

OK, thanks all for the help.

However the problem was much easier than that.

All I need to do is to fix my JSON to assign the array, to an attribute called data, as following.

{
  "data": [{
    "name_en": "hello",
    "phone": "55555555",
    "email": "a.shouman",
    "facebook": "https:\/\/www.facebook.com"
  }, ...]

How to send FormData objects with Ajax-requests in jQuery?

If you want to submit files using ajax use "jquery.form.js" This submits all form elements easily.

Samples http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#ajaxSubmit

rough view :

<form id='AddPhotoForm' method='post' action='../photo/admin_save_photo.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'>


<script type="text/javascript">
function showResponseAfterAddPhoto(responseText, statusText)
{ 
    information= responseText;
    callAjaxtolist();
    $("#AddPhotoForm").resetForm();
    $("#photo_msg").html('<div class="album_msg">Photo uploaded Successfully...</div>');        
};

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.add_new_photo_div').live('click',function(){
            var options = {success:showResponseAfterAddPhoto};  
            $("#AddPhotoForm").ajaxSubmit(options);
        });
});
</script>

Excel how to fill all selected blank cells with text

I don't believe search and replace will do it for you (doesn't work for me in Excel 2010 Home). Are you sure you want to put "null" in EVERY cell in the sheet? That is millions of cells, in which case there is no way a search and replace would be able to handle it memory-wise (correct me if I am wrong).

In the case I am right and you don't want millions of "null" cells, then here is a macro. It asks you to select the range then put "null" inside every cell that was blank.

Sub FillWithNull()

Dim cell As range
Dim myRange As range

Set myRange = Application.InputBox("Select the range", Type:=8)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each cell In myRange
    If Len(cell) = 0 Then
        cell.Value = "Null"
    End If
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

how to call a onclick function in <a> tag?

Fun! There are a few things to tease out here:

  • $leadID seems to be a php string. Make sure it gets printed in the right place. Also be aware of all the risks involved in passing your own strings around, like cross-site scripting and SQL injection vulnerabilities. There’s really no excuse for having Internet-facing production code not running on a solid framework.
  • Strings in Javascript (like in PHP and usually HTML) need to be enclosed in " or ' characters. Since you’re already inside both " and ', you’ll want to escape whichever you choose. \' to escape the PHP quotes, or &apos; to escape the HTML quotes.
  • <a /> elements are commonly used for “hyper”links, and almost always with a href attribute to indicate their destination, like this: <a href="http://www.google.com">Google homepage</a>.
  • You’re trying to double up on watching when the user clicks. Why? Because a standard click both activates the link (causing the browser to navigate to whatever URL, even that executes Javascript), and “triggers” the onclick event. Tip: Add a return false; to a Javascript event to suppress default behavior.
  • Within Javascript, onclick doesn’t mean anything on its own. That’s because onclick is a property, and not a variable. There has to be a reference to some object, so it knows whose onclick we’re talking about! One such object is window. You could write <a href="javascript:window.onclick = location.reload;">Activate me to reload when anything is clicked</a>.
  • Within HTML, onclick can mean something on its own, as long as its part of an HTML tag: <a href="#" onclick="location.reload(); return false;">. I bet you had this in mind.
  • Big difference between those two kinds of = assignments. The Javascript = expects something that hasn’t been run yet. You can wrap things in a function block to signal code that should be run later, if you want to specify some arguments now (like I didn’t above with reload): <a href="javascript:window.onclick = function () { window.open( ... ) };"> ....
  • Did you know you don’t even need to use Javascript to signal the browser to open a link in a new window? There’s a special target attribute for that: <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google homepage</a>.

Hope those are useful.

How to turn off the Eclipse code formatter for certain sections of Java code?

@xpmatteo has the answer to disabling portions of code, but in addition to this, the default eclipse settings should be set to only format edited lines of code instead of the whole file.

Preferences->Java->Editor->Save Actions->Format Source Code->Format Edited Lines

This would have prevented it from happening in the first place since your coworkers are reformatting code they didn't actually change. This is a good practice to prevent mishaps that render diff on your source control useless (when an entire file is reformatted because of minor format setting differences).

It would also prevent the reformatting if the on/off tags option was turned off.

ImportError: no module named win32api

I didn't find the package of the most voted answer in my Python 3 dist.

I had the same problem and solved it installing the module pywin32:

In anaconda:

conda install pywin32

My python installation (Intel® Distribution for Python) had some kind of dependency problem and was giving this error. After installing this module it stopped appearing.

How to pass data to view in Laravel?

You can also pass an array as the second argument after the view template name, instead of stringing together a bunch of ->with() methods.

return View::make('blog', array('posts' => $posts));

Or, if you're using PHP 5.4 or better you can use the much nicer "short" array syntax:

return View::make('blog', ['posts' => $posts]);

This is useful if you want to compute the array elsewhere. For instance if you have a bunch of variables that every controller needs to pass to the view, and you want to combine this with an array of variables that is unique to each particular controller (using array_merge, for instance), you might compute $variables (which contains an array!):

return View::make('blog', $variables);

(I did this off the top of my head: let me know if a syntax error slipped in...)

TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT maximum storage sizes

Expansion of the same answer

  1. This SO post outlines in detail the overheads and storage mechanisms.
  2. As noted from point (1), A VARCHAR should always be used instead of TINYTEXT. However, when using VARCHAR, the max rowsize should not exceeed 65535 bytes.
  3. As outlined here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-unicode-utf8.html, max 3 bytes for utf-8.

THIS IS A ROUGH ESTIMATION TABLE FOR QUICK DECISIONS!

  1. So the worst case assumptions (3 bytes per utf-8 char) to best case (1 byte per utf-8 char)
  2. Assuming the english language has an average of 4.5 letters per word
  3. x is the number of bytes allocated

x-x

      Type | A= worst case (x/3) | B = best case (x) | words estimate (A/4.5) - (B/4.5)
-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  TINYTEXT |              85     | 255               | 18 - 56
      TEXT |          21,845     | 65,535            | 4,854.44 - 14,563.33  
MEDIUMTEXT |       5,592,415     | 16,777,215        | 1,242,758.8 - 3,728,270
  LONGTEXT |   1,431,655,765     | 4,294,967,295     | 318,145,725.5 - 954,437,176.6

wget command to download a file and save as a different filename

Using CentOS Linux I found that the easiest syntax would be:

wget "link" -O file.ext

where "link" is the web address you want to save and "file.ext" is the filename and extension of your choice.

Difference between classification and clustering in data mining?

One liner for Classification:

Classifying data into pre-defined categories

One liner for Clustering:

Grouping data into a set of categories

Key difference:

Classification is taking data and putting it into pre-defined categories and in Clustering the set of categories, that you want to group the data into, is not known beforehand.

Conclusion:

  • Classification assigns the category to 1 new item, based on already labeled items while Clustering takes a bunch of unlabeled items and divide them into the categories
  • In Classification, the categories\groups to be divided are known beforehand while in Clustering, the categories\groups to be divided are unknown beforehand
  • In Classification, there are 2 phases – Training phase and then the test phase while in Clustering, there is only 1 phase – dividing of training data in clusters
  • Classification is Supervised Learning while Clustering is Unsupervised Learning

I have written a long post on the same topic which you can find here:

sh myfile.sh

or set the x bit on the file

chmod +x myfile.sh

and then just call

Xml serialization - Hide null values

You can create a function with the pattern ShouldSerialize{PropertyName} which tells the XmlSerializer if it should serialize the member or not.

For example, if your class property is called MyNullableInt you could have

public bool ShouldSerializeMyNullableInt() 
{
  return MyNullableInt.HasValue;
}

Here is a full sample

public class Person
{
  public string Name {get;set;}
  public int? Age {get;set;}
  public bool ShouldSerializeAge()
  {
    return Age.HasValue;
  }
}

Serialized with the following code

Person thePerson = new Person(){Name="Chris"};
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Person));
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
xs.Serialize(sw, thePerson);

Results in the followng XML - Notice there is no Age

<Person xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Name>Chris</Name>
</Person>

Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow. (Adding integers)

This error occurred for me when a value was returned as -1.#IND due to a division by zero. More info on IEEE floating-point exceptions in C++ here on SO and by John Cook

For the one who has downvoted this answer (and did not specify why), the reason why this answer can be significant to some is that a division by zero will lead to an infinitely large number and thus a value that doesn't fit in an Int32 (or even Int64). So the error you receive will be the same (Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow) but the reason is slightly different.

    `import org.testng.Assert;`
    
  2. Create a WebDriver object:

    WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();

  3. Apply this to assert the title of the page:

    Assert.assertEquals("Expected page title", driver.getTitle());

How to tell if JRE or JDK is installed

Normally a jdk installation has javac in the environment path variables ... so if you check for javac in the path, that's pretty much a good indicator that you have a jdk installed.

converting Java bitmap to byte array

Ted Hopp is correct, from the API Documentation :

public void copyPixelsToBuffer (Buffer dst)

"... After this method returns, the current position of the buffer is updated: the position is incremented by the number of elements written in the buffer. "

and

public ByteBuffer get (byte[] dst, int dstOffset, int byteCount)

"Reads bytes from the current position into the specified byte array, starting at the specified offset, and increases the position by the number of bytes read."

How to change sa password in SQL Server 2008 express?

This is what worked for me:

  • Close all Sql Server referencing apps.
  • Open Services in Control Panel.
  • Find the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" entry and select properties.
  • Stop the service (all Sql Server services).
  • Enter "-m" at the Start parameters" fields.
  • Start the service (click on Start button on General Tab).
  • Open a Command Prompt (right click, Run as administrator if needed).
  • Enter the command:

    osql -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS -E

    (or change localhost to whatever your PC is called).

  • At the prompt type the following commands:

    CREATE LOGIN my_Login_here WITH PASSWORD = 'my_Password_here'

    go

    sp_addsrvrolemember 'my_Login_here', 'sysadmin'

    go

    quit

  • Stop the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service.

  • Remove the "-m" from the Start parameters field (if still there).

  • Start the service.

  • In Management Studio, use the login and password you just created. This should give it admin permission.

How can I force division to be floating point? Division keeps rounding down to 0?

In Python 2, division of two ints produces an int. In Python 3, it produces a float. We can get the new behaviour by importing from __future__.

>>> a = 4
>>> b = 6
>>> c = a / b
>>> c

Is there a reason for C#'s reuse of the variable in a foreach?

Having been bitten by this, I have a habit of including locally defined variables in the innermost scope which I use to transfer to any closure. In your example:

foreach (var s in strings)
    query = query.Where(i => i.Prop == s); // access to modified closure

I do:

foreach (var s in strings)
{
    string search = s;
    query = query.Where(i => i.Prop == search); // New definition ensures unique per iteration.
}        

Once you have that habit, you can avoid it in the very rare case you actually intended to bind to the outer scopes. To be honest, I don't think I have ever done so.

Facebook Architecture

Facebook is using LAMP structure. Facebook’s back-end services are written in a variety of different programming languages including C++, Java, Python, and Erlang and they are used according to requirement. With LAMP Facebook uses some technologies ,to support large number of requests, like

  1. Memcache - It is a memory caching system that is used to speed up dynamic database-driven websites (like Facebook) by caching data and objects in RAM to reduce reading time. Memcache is Facebook’s primary form of caching and helps alleviate the database load. Having a caching system allows Facebook to be as fast as it is at recalling your data.

  2. Thrift (protocol) - It is a lightweight remote procedure call framework for scalable cross-language services development. Thrift supports C++, PHP, Python, Perl, Java, Ruby, Erlang, and others.

  3. Cassandra (database) - It is a database management system designed to handle large amounts of data spread out across many servers.

  4. HipHop for PHP - It is a source code transformer for PHP script code and was created to save server resources. HipHop transforms PHP source code into optimized C++. After doing this, it uses g++ to compile it to machine code.

If we go into more detail, then answer to this question go longer. We can understand more from following posts:

AngularJS event on window innerWidth size change

If Khanh TO's solution caused UI issues for you (like it did for me) try using $timeout to not update the attribute until it has been unchanged for 500ms.

var oldWidth = window.innerWidth;
$(window).on('resize.doResize', function () {
    var newWidth = window.innerWidth,
        updateStuffTimer;

    if (newWidth !== oldWidth) {
        $timeout.cancel(updateStuffTimer);
    }

    updateStuffTimer = $timeout(function() {
         updateStuff(newWidth); // Update the attribute based on window.innerWidth
    }, 500);
});

$scope.$on('$destroy',function (){
    $(window).off('resize.doResize'); // remove the handler added earlier
});

How to call a function in shell Scripting?

You don't specify which shell (there are many), so I am assuming Bourne Shell, that is I think your script starts with:

#!/bin/sh

Please remember to tag future questions with the shell type, as this will help the community answer your question.

You need to define your functions before you call them. Using ():

process_install()
{
    echo "Performing process_install() commands, using arguments [${*}]..."
}

process_exit()
{
    echo "Performing process_exit() commands, using arguments [${*}]..."
}

Then you can call your functions, just as if you were calling any command:

if [ "$choice" = "true" ]
then
    process_install foo bar
elif [ "$choice" = "false" ]
then
    process_exit baz qux

You may also wish to check for invalid choices at this juncture...

else
    echo "Invalid choice [${choice}]..."
fi

See it run with three different values of ${choice}.

Good luck!

How to select rows with no matching entry in another table?

I would use EXISTS expression since it is more powerful, you can e.g. more precisely choose rows you would like to join. In the case of LEFT JOIN, you have to take everything that's in the joined table. Its efficiency is probably the same as in the case of LEFT JOIN with null constraint.

SELECT t1.ID
FROM Table1 t1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT t2.ID FROM Table2 t2 WHERE t1.ID = t2.ID)

What is the difference between #import and #include in Objective-C?

#include it used to get "things" from another file to the one the #include is used in. Ex:

in file: main.cpp

#include "otherfile.h"

// some stuff here using otherfile.h objects,
// functions or classes declared inside

Header guard is used on the top of each header file (*.h) to prevent including the same file more then once (if it happens you will get compile errors).

in file: otherfile.h

#ifndef OTHERFILE
#define OTHERFILE

// declare functions, classes or objects here

#endif

even if you put #include "otherfile.h" n time in your code, this inside it will not be redeclared.

PostgreSQL next value of the sequences?

RETURNING

Since PostgreSQL 8.2, that's possible with a single round-trip to the database:

INSERT INTO tbl(filename)
VALUES ('my_filename')
RETURNING tbl_id;

tbl_id would typically be a serial or IDENTITY (Postgres 10 or later) column. More in the manual.

Explicitly fetch value

If filename needs to include tbl_id (redundantly), you can still use a single query.

Use lastval() or the more specific currval():

INSERT INTO tbl (filename)
VALUES ('my_filename' || currval('tbl_tbl_id_seq')   -- or lastval()
RETURNING tbl_id;

See:

If multiple sequences may be advanced in the process (even by way of triggers or other side effects) the sure way is to use currval('tbl_tbl_id_seq').

Name of sequence

The string literal 'tbl_tbl_id_seq' in my example is supposed to be the actual name of the sequence and is cast to regclass, which raises an exception if no sequence of that name can be found in the current search_path.

tbl_tbl_id_seq is the automatically generated default for a table tbl with a serial column tbl_id. But there are no guarantees. A column default can fetch values from any sequence if so defined. And if the default name is taken when creating the table, Postgres picks the next free name according to a simple algorithm.

If you don't know the name of the sequence for a serial column, use the dedicated function pg_get_serial_sequence(). Can be done on the fly:

INSERT INTO tbl (filename)
VALUES ('my_filename' || currval(pg_get_serial_sequence('tbl', 'tbl_id'))
RETURNING tbl_id;

Get current date in milliseconds

@JavaZava your solution is good, but if you want to have a 13 digit long value to be consistent with the time stamp formatting in Java or JavaScript (and other languages) use this method:

NSTimeInterval time = ([[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]); // returned as a double
long digits = (long)time; // this is the first 10 digits
int decimalDigits = (int)(fmod(time, 1) * 1000); // this will get the 3 missing digits
long timestamp = (digits * 1000) + decimalDigits;

or (if you need a string):

NSString *timestampString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld%d",digits ,decimalDigits];

Understanding events and event handlers in C#

To understand event handlers, you need to understand delegates. In C#, you can think of a delegate as a pointer (or a reference) to a method. This is useful because the pointer can be passed around as a value.

The central concept of a delegate is its signature, or shape. That is (1) the return type and (2) the input arguments. For example, if we create a delegate void MyDelegate(object sender, EventArgs e), it can only point to methods which return void, and take an object and EventArgs. Kind of like a square hole and a square peg. So we say these methods have the same signature, or shape, as the delegate.

So knowing how to create a reference to a method, let's think about the purpose of events: we want to cause some code to be executed when something happens elsewhere in the system - or "handle the event". To do this, we create specific methods for the code we want to be executed. The glue between the event and the methods to be executed are the delegates. The event must internally store a "list" of pointers to the methods to call when the event is raised.* Of course, to be able to call a method, we need to know what arguments to pass to it! We use the delegate as the "contract" between the event and all the specific methods that will be called.

So the default EventHandler (and many like it) represents a specific shape of method (again, void/object-EventArgs). When you declare an event, you are saying which shape of method (EventHandler) that event will invoke, by specifying a delegate:

//This delegate can be used to point to methods
//which return void and take a string.
public delegate void MyEventHandler(string foo);

//This event can cause any method which conforms
//to MyEventHandler to be called.
public event MyEventHandler SomethingHappened;

//Here is some code I want to be executed
//when SomethingHappened fires.
void HandleSomethingHappened(string foo)
{
    //Do some stuff
}

//I am creating a delegate (pointer) to HandleSomethingHappened
//and adding it to SomethingHappened's list of "Event Handlers".
myObj.SomethingHappened += new MyEventHandler(HandleSomethingHappened);

//To raise the event within a method.
SomethingHappened("bar");

(*This is the key to events in .NET and peels away the "magic" - an event is really, under the covers, just a list of methods of the same "shape". The list is stored where the event lives. When the event is "raised", it's really just "go through this list of methods and call each one, using these values as the parameters". Assigning an event handler is just a prettier, easier way of adding your method to this list of methods to be called).

How to save public key from a certificate in .pem format

There are a couple ways to do this.

First, instead of going into openssl command prompt mode, just enter everything on one command line from the Windows prompt:

E:\> openssl x509 -pubkey -noout -in cert.pem  > pubkey.pem

If for some reason, you have to use the openssl command prompt, just enter everything up to the ">". Then OpenSSL will print out the public key info to the screen. You can then copy this and paste it into a file called pubkey.pem.

openssl> x509 -pubkey -noout -in cert.pem

Output will look something like this:

Python's "in" set operator

Sets behave different than dicts, you need to use set operations like issubset():

>>> k
{'ip': '123.123.123.123', 'pw': 'test1234', 'port': 1234, 'debug': True}
>>> set('ip,port,pw'.split(',')).issubset(set(k.keys()))
True
>>> set('ip,port,pw'.split(',')) in set(k.keys())
False

Java read file and store text in an array

while(inFile1.hasNext()){

    token1 = inFile1.nextLine();

    // put each value into an array with String#split();
    String[] numStrings = line.split(", ");

    // parse number string into doubles 
    double[] nums = new double[numString.length];

    for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
        nums[i] = Double.parseDouble(numStrings[i]);
    }

}

The difference between "require(x)" and "import x"

Let me give an example for Including express module with require & import

-require

var express = require('express');

-import

import * as  express from 'express';

So after using any of the above statement we will have a variable called as 'express' with us. Now we can define 'app' variable as,

var app = express(); 

So we use 'require' with 'CommonJS' and 'import' with 'ES6'.

For more info on 'require' & 'import', read through below links.

Jenkins not executing jobs (pending - waiting for next executor)

What worked for me: I finally noticed the Build Executor Status window on the left on the main Jenkins dashboard. I run a dev/test instance on my local system with 2 executors. Both were currently occupied with builds that were not running. Upon cancelling these to jobs, my third (pending) job was able to run.

Scrolling a div with jQuery

How do I view an older version of an SVN file?

You can update to an older revision:

svn update -r 666 file

Or you can just view the file directly:

svn cat -r 666 file | less

How to plot multiple functions on the same figure, in Matplotlib?

Just use the function plot as follows

Extracting a parameter from a URL in WordPress

In the call back function, use the $request parameter

Get json value from response

Normally you could access it by its property name:

var foo = {"id":"2231f87c-a62c-4c2c-8f5d-b76d11942301"};
alert(foo.id);

or perhaps you've got a JSON string that needs to be turned into an object:

var foo = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
alert(foo.id);

Angular 2 Show and Hide an element

@inoabrian solution above worked for me. I ran into a situation where I would refresh my page and my hidden element would reappear on my page. Here's what I did to resolve it.

export class FooterComponent implements OnInit {
public showJoinTodayBtn: boolean = null;

ngOnInit() {
      if (condition is true) {
        this.showJoinTodayBtn = true;
      } else {
        this.showJoinTodayBtn = false;
      }
}

Time in milliseconds in C

You can use gettimeofday() together with the timedifference_msec() function below to calculate the number of milliseconds elapsed between two samples:

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

float timedifference_msec(struct timeval t0, struct timeval t1)
{
    return (t1.tv_sec - t0.tv_sec) * 1000.0f + (t1.tv_usec - t0.tv_usec) / 1000.0f;
}

int main(void)
{
   struct timeval t0;
   struct timeval t1;
   float elapsed;

   gettimeofday(&t0, 0);
   /* ... YOUR CODE HERE ... */
   gettimeofday(&t1, 0);

   elapsed = timedifference_msec(t0, t1);

   printf("Code executed in %f milliseconds.\n", elapsed);

   return 0;
}

Note that, when using gettimeofday(), you need to take seconds into account even if you only care about microsecond differences because tv_usec will wrap back to zero every second and you have no way of knowing beforehand at which point within a second each sample is obtained.

Move all files except one

move all files(not include except file) to except_file
find -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -not -name except_file -print0 |xargs -0 mv -t ./except_file
for example(cache is current except file)
find -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -not -name cache -print0 |xargs -0 mv -t ./cache

Search an array for matching attribute

Must be too late now, but the right version would be:

for(var i = 0; i < restaurants.restaurant.length; i++)
{
  if(restaurants.restaurant[i].food == 'chicken')
  {
    return restaurants.restaurant[i].name;
  }
}

How to parse JSON to receive a Date object in JavaScript?

The JSON.parse function accepts an optional DateTime reviver function. You can use a function like this:

dateTimeReviver = function (key, value) {
    var a;
    if (typeof value === 'string') {
        a = /\/Date\((\d*)\)\//.exec(value);
        if (a) {
            return new Date(+a[1]);
        }
    }
    return value;
}

Then call

JSON.parse(somejsonstring, dateTimeReviver);

And your dates will come out right.

How to use ? : if statements with Razor and inline code blocks

The key is to encapsulate the expression in parentheses after the @ delimiter. You can make any compound expression work this way.

How do you specifically order ggplot2 x axis instead of alphabetical order?

The accepted answer offers a solution which requires changing of the underlying data frame. This is not necessary. One can also simply factorise within the aes() call directly or create a vector for that instead.

This is certainly not much different than user Drew Steen's answer, but with the important difference of not changing the original data frame.

level_order <- c('virginica', 'versicolor', 'setosa') #this vector might be useful for other plots/analyses

ggplot(iris, aes(x = factor(Species, level = level_order), y = Petal.Width)) + geom_col()

or

level_order <- factor(iris$Species, level = c('virginica', 'versicolor', 'setosa'))

ggplot(iris, aes(x = level_order, y = Petal.Width)) + geom_col()

or
directly in the aes() call without a pre-created vector:

ggplot(iris, aes(x = factor(Species, level = c('virginica', 'versicolor', 'setosa')), y = Petal.Width)) + geom_col()

that's for the first version

Single Result from Database by using mySQLi

When just a single result is needed, then no loop should be used. Just fetch the row right away.

  • In case you need to fetch the entire row into associative array:

      $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
    
  • in case you need just a single value

      $row = $result->fetch_row();
      $value = $row[0] ?? false;
    

The last example will return the first column from the first returned row, or false if no row was returned. It can be also shortened to a single line,

$value = $result->fetch_row()[0] ?? false;

Below are complete examples for different use cases

Variables to be used in the query

When variables are to be used in the query, then a prepared statement must be used. For example, given we have a variable $id:

$query = "SELECT ssfullname, ssemail FROM userss WHERE ud=?";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param("s", $id);
$stmt->execute()
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();

// in case you need just a single value
$query = "SELECT count(*) FROM userss WHERE id=?";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param("s", $id);
$stmt->execute()
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$value = $result->fetch_row()[0] ?? false;

The detailed explanation of the above process can be found in my article. As to why you must follow it is explained in this famous question

No variables in the query

In your case, where no variables to be used in the query, you can use the query() method:

$query = "SELECT ssfullname, ssemail FROM userss ORDER BY ssid";
$result = $conn->query($query);
// in case you need an array
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
// OR in case you need just a single value
$value = $result->fetch_row()[0] ?? false;

By the way, although using raw API while learning is okay, consider using some database abstraction library or at least a helper function in the future:

// using a helper function
$sql = "SELECT email FROM users WHERE id=?";
$value = prepared_select($conn, $sql, [$id])->fetch_row[0] ?? false;

// using a database helper class
$email = $db->getCol("SELECT email FROM users WHERE id=?", [$id]);

As you can see, although a helper function can reduce the amount of code, a class' method could encapsulate all the repetitive code inside, making you to write only meaningful parts - the query, the input parameters and the desired result format (in the form of the method's name).

Create a dictionary with list comprehension

In fact, you don't even need to iterate over the iterable if it already comprehends some kind of mapping, the dict constructor doing it graciously for you:

>>> ts = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
>>> dict(ts)
{1: 2, 3: 4, 5: 6}
>>> gen = ((i, i+1) for i in range(1, 6, 2))
>>> gen
<generator object <genexpr> at 0xb7201c5c>
>>> dict(gen)
{1: 2, 3: 4, 5: 6}

How do I create a self-signed certificate for code signing on Windows?

It's fairly easy using the New-SelfSignedCertificate command in Powershell. Open powershell and run these 3 commands.

1) Create certificate:
$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName www.yourwebsite.com -Type CodeSigning -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\My

2) set the password for it:
$CertPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "my_passowrd" -Force –AsPlainText

3) Export it:
Export-PfxCertificate -Cert "cert:\CurrentUser\My\$($cert.Thumbprint)" -FilePath "d:\selfsigncert.pfx" -Password $CertPassword

Your certificate selfsigncert.pfx will be located @ D:/


Optional step: You would also require to add certificate password to system environment variables. do so by entering below in cmd: setx CSC_KEY_PASSWORD "my_password"

What is Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16?

This article explains all the details http://kunststube.net/encoding/

WRITING TO BUFFER

if you write to a 4 byte buffer, symbol ? with UTF8 encoding, your binary will look like this:

00000000 11100011 10000001 10000010

if you write to a 4 byte buffer, symbol ? with UTF16 encoding, your binary will look like this:

00000000 00000000 00110000 01000010

As you can see, depending on what language you would use in your content this will effect your memory accordingly.

e.g. For this particular symbol: ? UTF16 encoding is more efficient since we have 2 spare bytes to use for the next symbol. But it doesn't mean that you must use UTF16 for Japan alphabet.

READING FROM BUFFER

Now if you want to read the above bytes, you have to know in what encoding it was written to and decode it back correctly.

e.g. If you decode this : 00000000 11100011 10000001 10000010 into UTF16 encoding, you will end up with ? not ?

Note: Encoding and Unicode are two different things. Unicode is the big (table) with each symbol mapped to a unique code point. e.g. ? symbol (letter) has a (code point): 30 42 (hex). Encoding on the other hand, is an algorithm that converts symbols to more appropriate way, when storing to hardware.

30 42 (hex) - > UTF8 encoding - > E3 81 82 (hex), which is above result in binary.

30 42 (hex) - > UTF16 encoding - > 30 42 (hex), which is above result in binary.

What is 'Currying'?

As all other answers currying helps to create partially applied functions. Javascript does not provide native support for automatic currying. So the examples provided above may not help in practical coding. There is some excellent example in livescript (Which essentially compiles to js) http://livescript.net/

times = (x, y) --> x * y
times 2, 3       #=> 6 (normal use works as expected)
double = times 2
double 5         #=> 10

In above example when you have given less no of arguments livescript generates new curried function for you (double)

Transposing a 1D NumPy array

As some of the comments above mentioned, the transpose of 1D arrays are 1D arrays, so one way to transpose a 1D array would be to convert the array to a matrix like so:

np.transpose(a.reshape(len(a), 1))

'foo' was not declared in this scope c++

In C++, your source files are usually parsed from top to bottom in a single pass, so any variable or function must be declared before they can be used. There are some exceptions to this, like when defining functions inline in a class definition, but that's not the case for your code.

Either move the definition of integrate above the one for getSkewNormal, or add a forward declaration above getSkewNormal:

double integrate (double start, double stop, int numSteps, Evaluatable evalObj);

The same applies for sum.

Set variable in jinja

Just Set it up like this

{% set active_link = recordtype -%}

How do I check if a C++ string is an int?

Another version...

Use strtol, wrapping it inside a simple function to hide its complexity :

inline bool isInteger(const std::string & s)
{
   if(s.empty() || ((!isdigit(s[0])) && (s[0] != '-') && (s[0] != '+'))) return false;

   char * p;
   strtol(s.c_str(), &p, 10);

   return (*p == 0);
}

Why strtol ?

As far as I love C++, sometimes the C API is the best answer as far as I am concerned:

  • using exceptions is overkill for a test that is authorized to fail
  • the temporary stream object creation by the lexical cast is overkill and over-inefficient when the C standard library has a little known dedicated function that does the job.

How does it work ?

strtol seems quite raw at first glance, so an explanation will make the code simpler to read :

strtol will parse the string, stopping at the first character that cannot be considered part of an integer. If you provide p (as I did above), it sets p right at this first non-integer character.

My reasoning is that if p is not set to the end of the string (the 0 character), then there is a non-integer character in the string s, meaning s is not a correct integer.

The first tests are there to eliminate corner cases (leading spaces, empty string, etc.).

This function should be, of course, customized to your needs (are leading spaces an error? etc.).

Sources :

See the description of strtol at: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/strtol.

See, too, the description of strtol's sister functions (strtod, strtoul, etc.).

Delete all items from a c++ std::vector

vector.clear() should work for you. In case you want to shrink the capacity of the vector along with clear then

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden - The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory

The problem may come from running the project from visual studio on IIS while being on the wrong opened tab on visual studio, so the solution is either opening the right tab (the webform you want to test on your browser) or as others suggested in the other answers, right click on the webform that you want to set as a homepage then click on 'Set As A Start Page'.

How to format a java.sql.Timestamp(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S) to a date(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss)

You do not need to use substring at all since your format doesn't hold that info.

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String fechaStr = "2013-10-10 10:49:29.10000";  
Date fechaNueva = format.parse(fechaStr);

System.out.println(format.format(fechaNueva)); // Prints 2013-10-10 10:49:29

How do I prevent a form from being resized by the user?

If you want to prevent resize by dragging sizegrips and by the maximize button and by maximize by doubleclick on the header text, than insert the following code in the load event of the form:

    Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle ' Prevent size grips
    Me.MaximumSize = Me.Size ' Prevent maximize (also by doubleclick of header text)

Of course all choices of a formborderstyle beginning with Fixed will do.

Using SVG as background image

You can try removing the width and height attributes on the svg root element, adding preserveAspectRatio="none" viewBox="0 0 1024 800" instead. It makes a difference in Opera at least, assuming you wanted the svg to stretch to fill the entire region defined by the CSS styles.

Send a SMS via intent

Try this code. It will work

Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:123456");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, smsUri);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "sms text");
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms"); 
startActivity(intent);

Hope this will help you.

Programmatically get own phone number in iOS

As you probably all ready know if you use the following line of code, your app will be rejected by Apple

NSString *num = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"SBFormattedPhoneNumber"];

here is a reference

http://ayeapi.blogspot.com/2009/12/sbformatphonenumber-is-lie.html

you can use the following information instead

NSString *phoneName = [[UIDevice currentDevice] name];

NSString *phoneUniqueIdentifier = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier];

and so on

@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString    *name;              // e.g. "My iPhone"
@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString    *model;             // e.g. @"iPhone", @"iPod Touch"
@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString    *localizedModel;    // localized version of model
@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString    *systemName;        // e.g. @"iPhone OS"
@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString    *systemVersion;     // e.g. @"2.0"
@property(nonatomic,readonly) UIDeviceOrientation orientation;       // return current device orientation
@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString    *uniqueIdentifier;  // a string unique to each device based on various hardware info.

Hope this helps!

How to use glOrtho() in OpenGL?

Have a look at this picture: Graphical Projections enter image description here

The glOrtho command produces an "Oblique" projection that you see in the bottom row. No matter how far away vertexes are in the z direction, they will not recede into the distance.

I use glOrtho every time I need to do 2D graphics in OpenGL (such as health bars, menus etc) using the following code every time the window is resized:

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0f, windowWidth, windowHeight, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);

This will remap the OpenGL coordinates into the equivalent pixel values (X going from 0 to windowWidth and Y going from 0 to windowHeight). Note that I've flipped the Y values because OpenGL coordinates start from the bottom left corner of the window. So by flipping, I get a more conventional (0,0) starting at the top left corner of the window rather.

Note that the Z values are clipped from 0 to 1. So be careful when you specify a Z value for your vertex's position, it will be clipped if it falls outside that range. Otherwise if it's inside that range, it will appear to have no effect on the position except for Z tests.

jQuery Validate - Enable validation for hidden fields

The plugin's author says you should use "square brackets without the quotes", []

http://bassistance.de/2011/10/07/release-validation-plugin-1-9-0/

Release: Validation Plugin 1.9.0: "...Another change should make the setup of forms with hidden elements easier, these are now ignored by default (option “ignore” has “:hidden” now as default). In theory, this could break an existing setup. In the unlikely case that it actually does, you can fix it by setting the ignore-option to “[]” (square brackets without the quotes)."

To change this setting for all forms:

$.validator.setDefaults({ 
    ignore: [],
    // any other default options and/or rules
});

(It is not required that .setDefaults() be within the document.ready function)

OR for one specific form:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#myform').validate({
        ignore: [],
        // any other options and/or rules
    });

});

EDIT:

See this answer for how to enable validation on some hidden fields but still ignore others.


EDIT 2:

Before leaving comments that "this does not work", keep in mind that the OP is simply asking about the jQuery Validate plugin and his question has nothing to do with how ASP.NET, MVC, or any other Microsoft framework can alter this plugin's normal expected behavior. If you're using a Microsoft framework, the default functioning of the jQuery Validate plugin is over-written by Microsoft's unobtrusive-validation plugin.

If you're struggling with the unobtrusive-validation plugin, then please refer to this answer instead: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11053251/594235

The Definitive C Book Guide and List

Warning!

This is a list of random books of diverse quality. In the view of some people (with some justification), it is no longer a list of recommended books. Some of the listed books contain blatantly incorrect statements or teach wrong/harmful practices. People who are aware of such books can edit this answer to help improve it. See The C book list has gone haywire. What to do with it?, and also Deleted question audit 2018.

Reference (All Levels)

  • The C Programming Language (2nd Edition) - Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie (1988). Still a good, short but complete introduction to C (C90, not C99 or later versions), written by the inventor of C. However, the language has changed and good C style has developed in the last 25 years, and there are parts of the book that show its age.

  • C: A Reference Manual (5th Edition) - Samuel P. Harbison and Guy R. Steele (2002). An excellent reference book on C, up to and including C99. It is not a tutorial, and probably unfit for beginners. It's great if you need to write a compiler for C, as the authors had to do when they started.

  • C Pocket Reference (O'Reilly) - Peter Prinz and Ulla Kirch-Prinz (2002).

  • The comp.lang.c FAQ - Steve Summit. Web site with answers to many questions about C.

  • Various versions of the C language standards can be found here. There is an online version of the draft C11 standard.

  • The new C standard - an annotated reference (Free PDF) - Derek M. Jones (2009). The "new standard" referred to is the old C99 standard rather than C11.

  • Rationale for C99 Standard.


Beginner

  • C In Easy Steps (5th Edition) - Mike McGrath (2018). It is a good book for learning and referencing C.

  • Effective C - Robert C Seacord (2020). A good introduction to modern C, including chapters on dynamic memory allocation, on program structure, and on debugging, testing and analysis. It has some pointers toward probable C2x features.

Intermediate

  • Modern C — Jens Gustedt (2017 1st Edn; 2020 2nd Edn). Covers C in 5 levels (encounter, acquaintance, cognition, experience, ambition) from beginning C to advanced C. It covers C11 and C17, including threads and atomic access, which few other books do. Not all compilers recognize these features in all environments.

  • C Interfaces and Implementations - David R. Hanson (1997). Provides information on how to define a boundary between an interface and implementation in C in a generic and reusable fashion. It also demonstrates this principle by applying it to the implementation of common mechanisms and data structures in C, such as lists, sets, exceptions, string manipulation, memory allocators, and more. Basically, Hanson took all the code he'd written as part of building Icon and lcc and pulled out the best bits in a form that other people could reuse for their own projects. It's a model of good C programming using modern design techniques (including Liskov's data abstraction), showing how to organize a big C project as a bunch of useful libraries.

  • The C Puzzle Book - Alan R. Feuer (1998)

  • The Standard C Library - P.J. Plauger (1992). It contains the complete source code to an implementation of the C89 standard library, along with extensive discussions about the design and why the code is designed as shown.

  • 21st Century C: C Tips from the New School - Ben Klemens (2012). In addition to the C language, the book explains gdb, valgrind, autotools, and git. The comments on style are found in the last part (Chapter 6 and beyond).

  • Algorithms in C - Robert Sedgewick (1997). Gives you a real grasp of implementing algorithms in C. Very lucid and clear; will probably make you want to throw away all of your other algorithms books and keep this one.

  • Extreme C: Push the limits of what C and you can do - Kamran Amini (2019). This book builds on your existing C knowledge to help you become a more expert C programmer. You will gain insights into algorithm design, functions, and structures, and understand both multi-threading and multi-processing in a POSIX environment.

Expert


Uncategorized

  • Essential C (Free PDF) - Nick Parlante (2003). Note that this describes the C90 language at several points (e.g., in discussing // comments and placement of variable declarations at arbitrary points in the code), so it should be treated with some caution.

  • C Programming FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions - Steve Summit (1995). This is the book of the web site listed earlier. It doesn't cover C99 or the later standards.

  • C in a Nutshell - Peter Prinz and Tony Crawford (2005). Excellent book if you need a reference for C99.

  • Functional C - Pieter Hartel and Henk Muller (1997). Teaches modern practices that are invaluable for low-level programming, with concurrency and modularity in mind.

  • The Practice of Programming - Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike (1999). A very good book to accompany K&R. It uses C++ and Java too.

  • C Traps and Pitfalls by A. Koenig (1989). Very good, but the C style pre-dates standard C, which makes it less recommendable these days.

    Some have argued for the removal of 'Traps and Pitfalls' from this list because it has trapped some people into making mistakes; others continue to argue for its inclusion. Perhaps it should be regarded as an 'expert' book because it requires a moderately extensive knowledge of C to understand what's changed since it was published.

  • MISRA-C - industry standard published and maintained by the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association. Covers C89 and C99.

    Although this isn't a book as such, many programmers recommend reading and implementing as much of it as possible. MISRA-C was originally intended as guidelines for safety-critical applications in particular, but it applies to any area of application where stable, bug-free C code is desired (who doesn't want fewer bugs?). MISRA-C is becoming the de facto standard in the whole embedded industry and is getting increasingly popular even in other programming branches. There are (at least) three publications of the standard (1998, 2004, and the current version from 2012). There is also a MISRA Compliance Guidelines document from 2016, and MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1 — Additional Security Guidelines for MISRA C:2012 (published in April 2016).

    Note that some of the strictures in the MISRA rules are not appropriate to every context. For example, directive 4.12 states "Dynamic memory allocation shall not be used". This is appropriate in the embedded systems for which the MISRA rules are designed; it is not appropriate everywhere. (Compilers, for instance, generally use dynamic memory allocation for things like symbol tables, and to do without dynamic memory allocation would be difficult, if not preposterous.)

  • Archived lists of ACCU-reviewed books on Beginner's C (116 titles) from 2007 and Advanced C (76 titles) from 2008. Most of these don't look to be on the main site anymore, and you can't browse that by subject anyway.


Warnings

There is a list of books and tutorials to be cautious about at the ISO 9899 Wiki, which is not itself formally associated with ISO or the C standard, but contains information about the C standard (though it hails the release of ISO 9899:2011 and does not mention the release of ISO 9899:2018).

Be wary of books written by Herbert Schildt. In particular, you should stay away from C: The Complete Reference (4th Edition, 2000), known in some circles as C: The Complete Nonsense.

Also do not use the book Let Us C (16th Edition, 2017) by Yashwant Kanetkar. Many people view it as an outdated book that teaches Turbo C and has lots of obsolete, misleading and incorrect material. For example, page 137 discusses the expected output from printf("%d %d %d\n", a, ++a, a++) and does not categorize it as undefined behaviour as it should. It also consistently promotes unportable and buggy coding practices, such as using gets, %[\n]s in scanf, storing return value of getchar in a variable of type char or using fflush on stdin.

Learn C The Hard Way (2015) by Zed Shaw. A book with mixed reviews. A critique of this book by Tim Hentenaar:

To summarize my views, which are laid out below, the author presents the material in a greatly oversimplified and misleading way, the whole corpus is a bundled mess, and some of the opinions and analyses he offers are just plain wrong. I've tried to view this book through the eyes of a novice, but unfortunately I am biased by years of experience writing code in C. It's obvious to me that either the author has a flawed understanding of C, or he's deliberately oversimplifying to the point where he's actually misleading the reader (intentionally or otherwise).

"Learn C The Hard Way" is not a book that I could recommend to someone who is both learning to program and learning C. If you're already a competent programmer in some other related language, then it represents an interesting and unusual exposition on C, though I have reservations about parts of the book.

How to pass values across the pages in ASP.net without using Session

You can use query string to pass value from one page to another..

1.pass the value using querystring

 Response.Redirect("Default3.aspx?value=" + txt.Text + "& number="+n);

2.Retrive the value in the page u want by using any of these methods..

Method1:

    string v = Request.QueryString["value"];
    string n=Request.QueryString["number"];

Method2:

      NameValueCollection v = Request.QueryString;
    if (v.HasKeys())
    {
        string k = v.GetKey(0);
        string n = v.Get(0);
        if (k == "value")
        {
            lbltext.Text = n.ToString();
        }
        if (k == "value1")
        {
            lbltext.Text = "error occured";
        }
    }

NOTE:Method 2 is the fastest method.

How to convert interface{} to string?

You need to add type assertion .(string). It is necessary because the map is of type map[string]interface{}:

host := arguments["<host>"].(string) + ":" + arguments["<port>"].(string)

Latest version of Docopt returns Opts object that has methods for conversion:

host, err := arguments.String("<host>")
port, err := arguments.String("<port>")
host_port := host + ":" + port

How do you loop through each line in a text file using a windows batch file?

The accepted anwser using cmd.exe and

for /F "tokens=*" %F in (file.txt) do whatever "%F" ...

works only for "normal" files. It fails miserably with huge files.

For big files, you may need to use Powershell and something like this:

[IO.File]::ReadLines("file.txt") | ForEach-Object { whatever "$_" }

or if you have enough memory:

foreach($line in [System.IO.File]::ReadLines("file.txt")) { whatever "$line" } 

This worked for me with a 250 MB file containing over 2 million lines, where the for /F ... command got stuck after a few thousand lines.

For the differences between foreach and ForEach-Object, see Getting to Know ForEach and ForEach-Object.

(credits: Read file line by line in PowerShell )

How does the modulus operator work?

This JSFiddle project could help you to understand how modulus work: http://jsfiddle.net/elazar170/7hhnagrj

The modulus function works something like this:

     function modulus(x,y){
       var m = Math.floor(x / y);
       var r = m * y;
       return x - r;
     }

Removing all line breaks and adding them after certain text

You need to that in two steps, at least.

First, click on the ¶ symbol in the toolbar: you can see if you have CRLF line endings or just LF.

Click on the Replace button, and put \r\n or \n, depending on the kind of line ending. In the Search Mode section of the dialog, check Extended radio button (interpret \n and such). Then replace all occurrences with nothing (empty string).

You end with a big line...

Next, in the same Replace dialog, put your delimiter (</Row>) for example and in the Replace With field, put the same with a line ending (</Row>\r\n). Replace All, and you are done.

How to align the text middle of BUTTON

Sometime it is fixed by the Padding .. if you can play with that, then, it should fix your problem

<style type=text/css>

YourbuttonByID {Padding: 20px 80px; "for example" padding-left:50px; 
 padding-right:30px "to fix the text in the middle 
 without interfering with the text itself"}

</style>

It worked for me

What is difference between Implicit wait and Explicit wait in Selenium WebDriver?

Implicit waits are used to provide a default waiting time between each consecutive test step/command across the entire test script. Thus, subsequent test step would only execute when the specified amount of time have elapsed after executing the previous test step/command.

Explicit waits are used to halt the execution till the time a particular condition is met or the maximum time has elapsed. Unlike Implicit waits, Explicit waits are applied for a particular instance only.

How to use AND in IF Statement

Brief syntax lesson

Cells(Row, Column) identifies a cell. Row must be an integer between 1 and the maximum for version of Excel you are using. Column must be a identifier (for example: "A", "IV", "XFD") or a number (for example: 1, 256, 16384)

.Cells(Row, Column) identifies a cell within a sheet identified in a earlier With statement:

With ActiveSheet
  :
  .Cells(Row,Column)
  :
End With

If you omit the dot, Cells(Row,Column) is within the active worksheet. So wsh = ActiveWorkbook wsh.Range is not strictly necessary. However, I always use a With statement so I do not wonder which sheet I meant when I return to my code in six months time. So, I would write:

With ActiveSheet
  :
  .Range.  
  :
End With

Actually, I would not write the above unless I really did want the code to work on the active sheet. What if the user has the wrong sheet active when they started the macro. I would write:

With Sheets("xxxx")
  :
  .Range.  
  :
End With

because my code only works on sheet xxxx.

Cells(Row,Column) identifies a cell. Cells(Row,Column).xxxx identifies a property of the cell. Value is a property. Value is the default property so you can usually omit it and the compiler will know what you mean. But in certain situations the compiler can be confused so the advice to include the .Value is good.

Cells(Row,Column) like "*Miami*" will give True if the cell is "Miami", "South Miami", "Miami, North" or anything similar.

Cells(Row,Column).Value = "Miami" will give True if the cell is exactly equal to "Miami". "MIAMI" for example will give False. If you want to accept MIAMI, use the lower case function:

Lcase(Cells(Row,Column).Value) = "miami"  

My suggestions

Your sample code keeps changing as you try different suggestions which I find confusing. You were using Cells(Row,Column) <> "Miami" when I started typing this.

Use

If Cells(i, "A").Value like "*Miami*" And Cells(i, "D").Value like "*Florida*" Then
  Cells(i, "C").Value = "BA"

if you want to accept, for example, "South Miami" and "Miami, North".

Use

If Cells(i, "A").Value = "Miami" And Cells(i, "D").Value like "Florida" Then
  Cells(i, "C").Value = "BA"

if you want to accept, exactly, "Miami" and "Florida".

Use

If Lcase(Cells(i, "A").Value) = "miami" And _
   Lcase(Cells(i, "D").Value) = "florida" Then
  Cells(i, "C").Value = "BA"

if you don't care about case.

int *array = new int[n]; what is this function actually doing?

int *array = new int[n];

It declares a pointer to a dynamic array of type int and size n.

A little more detailed answer: new allocates memory of size equal to sizeof(int) * n bytes and return the memory which is stored by the variable array. Also, since the memory is dynamically allocated using new, you've to deallocate it manually by writing (when you don't need anymore, of course):

delete []array;

Otherwise, your program will leak memory of at least sizeof(int) * n bytes (possibly more, depending on the allocation strategy used by the implementation).

Fit cell width to content

Setting CSS width to 1% or 100% of an element according to all specs I could find out is related to the parent. Although Blink Rendering Engine (Chrome) and Gecko (Firefox) at the moment of writing seems to handle that 1% or 100% (make a columns shrink or a column to fill available space) well, it is not guaranteed according to all CSS specifications I could find to render it properly.

One option is to replace table with CSS4 flex divs:

https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

That works in new browsers i.e. IE11+ see table at the bottom of the article.

Does :before not work on img elements?

The pseudo-elements generated by ::before and ::after are contained by the element's formatting box, and thus don't apply to replaced elements such as img, or to br elements.

How to disable sort in DataGridView?

If you want statically make columns not sortable. You can do this way

  1. Open the EditColumns window of the DataGridView control.
  2. Select the column you want to make not sortable on the left side pane.
  3. In the right side properties pane, select the Sort Mode property and select "Not Sortable" in that.

How do I print uint32_t and uint16_t variables value?

The macros defined in <inttypes.h> are the most correct way to print values of types uint32_t, uint16_t, and so forth -- but they're not the only way.

Personally, I find those macros difficult to remember and awkward to use. (Given the syntax of a printf format string, that's probably unavoidable; I'm not claiming I could have come up with a better system.)

An alternative is to cast the values to a predefined type and use the format for that type.

Types int and unsigned int are guaranteed by the language to be at least 16 bits wide, and therefore to be able to hold any converted value of type int16_t or uint16_t, respectively. Similarly, long and unsigned long are at least 32 bits wide, and long long and unsigned long long are at least 64 bits wide.

For example, I might write your program like this (with a few additional tweaks):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>  

int main(void)
{
    uint32_t a=12, a1;
    uint16_t b=1, b1;
    a1 = htonl(a);
    printf("%lu---------%lu\n", (unsigned long)a, (unsigned long)a1);
    b1 = htons(b);
    printf("%u-----%u\n", (unsigned)b, (unsigned)b1);
    return 0;
}

One advantage of this approach is that it can work even with pre-C99 implementations that don't support <inttypes.h>. Such an implementation most likely wouldn't have <stdint.h> either, but the technique is useful for other integer types.

Is it possible to install iOS 6 SDK on Xcode 5?

I currently have Xcode 4.6.3 and 5.0 installed. I used the following bash script to link 5.0 to the SDKs in the old version:

platforms_path="$1/Contents/Developer/Platforms";
if [ -d $platforms_path ]; then
    for platform in `ls $platforms_path`
    do
        sudo ln -sf $platforms_path/$platform/Developer/SDKs/* $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/$platform/Developer/SDKs;
    done;
fi;

You just need to supply it with the path to the .app:

./xcode.sh /Applications/Xcode-463.app

Numpy: Creating a complex array from 2 real ones?

This seems to do what you want:

numpy.apply_along_axis(lambda args: [complex(*args)], 3, Data)

Here is another solution:

# The ellipsis is equivalent here to ":,:,:"...
numpy.vectorize(complex)(Data[...,0], Data[...,1])

And yet another simpler solution:

Data[...,0] + 1j * Data[...,1]

PS: If you want to save memory (no intermediate array):

result = 1j*Data[...,1]; result += Data[...,0]

devS' solution below is also fast.

What is the difference between XAMPP or WAMP Server & IIS?

WAMP is an acronym for Windows (OS), Apache (web-server), MySQL (database), PHP (language).

XAMPP and WampServer are both free packages of WAMP, with additional applications/tools, put together by different people. There are also other WAMPs such as UniformServer. And there are commercial WAMPs such as WampDeveloper (what I use).

Their differences are in the format/structure of the package, the configurations, and the included management applications.

IIS is a web-server application just like Apache is, except it's made by Microsoft and is Windows only (Apache runs on both Windows and Linux). IIS is also more geared towards using ASP.NET (vs. PHP) and "SQL Server" (vs. MySQL), though it can use PHP and MySQL too.

Sending data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask

You need a Flask view that will receive POST data and an HTML form that will send it.

from flask import request

@app.route('/addRegion', methods=['POST'])
def addRegion():
    ...
    return (request.form['projectFilePath'])
<form action="{{ url_for('addRegion') }}" method="post">
    Project file path: <input type="text" name="projectFilePath"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

HTTP Range header

It's a syntactically valid request, but not a satisfiable request. If you look further in that section you see:

If a syntactically valid byte-range-set includes at least one byte- range-spec whose first-byte-pos is less than the current length of the entity-body, or at least one suffix-byte-range-spec with a non- zero suffix-length, then the byte-range-set is satisfiable. Otherwise, the byte-range-set is unsatisfiable. If the byte-range-set is unsatisfiable, the server SHOULD return a response with a status of 416 (Requested range not satisfiable). Otherwise, the server SHOULD return a response with a status of 206 (Partial Content) containing the satisfiable ranges of the entity-body.

So I think in your example, the server should return a 416 since it's not a valid byte range for that file.

How to print without newline or space?

...you do not need to import any library. Just use the delete character:

BS=u'\0008' # the unicode for "delete" character
for i in range(10):print(BS+"."),

this removes the newline and the space (^_^)*

Debug vs Release in CMake

With CMake, it's generally recommended to do an "out of source" build. Create your CMakeLists.txt in the root of your project. Then from the root of your project:

mkdir Release
cd Release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

And for Debug (again from the root of your project):

mkdir Debug
cd Debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make

Release / Debug will add the appropriate flags for your compiler. There are also RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel build configurations.


You can modify/add to the flags by specifying a toolchain file in which you can add CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>_INIT variables, e.g.:

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG_INIT "-Wall")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE_INIT "-Wall")

See CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE for more details.


As for your third question, I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. CMake should automatically detect and use the compiler appropriate for your different source files.

Center content vertically on Vuetify

For me, align="center" was enough to center FOO vertically:

<v-row align="center">
  <v-col>FOO</v-col>
</row>

How do I convert a column of text URLs into active hyperlinks in Excel?

Here's a way I found. I'm on a Mac using Excel 2011. If column B had the text values you want to be hyperlinks, put this formula in the cell C1 (or D1 or whatever as long as it's a free column): =HYPERLINK(B1,B1) This will insert a hyperlink with the location as the link text and the "friendly name" as the link text. If you have another column that has a friendly name for each link, you could use that too. Then, you could hide the text column if you didn't want to see it.

If you have a list of IDs of something, and the urls were all http://website.com/folder/ID, such as:

A1  | B1
101 | http://website.com/folder/101
102 | http://website.com/folder/102
103 | http://website.com/folder/103
104 | http://website.com/folder/104

you could use something like =HYPERLINK("http://website.com/folder/"&A1,A1) and you wouldn't need the list of urls. That was my situation and worked nicely.

According to this post: http://excelhints.com/2007/06/12/hyperlink-formula-in-excel/ this method will work in Excel 2007 as well.

Using success/error/finally/catch with Promises in AngularJS

I think the previous answers are correct, but here is another example (just a f.y.i, success() and error() are deprecated according to AngularJS Main page:

$http
    .get('http://someendpoint/maybe/returns/JSON')
    .then(function(response) {
        return response.data;
    }).catch(function(e) {
        console.log('Error: ', e);
        throw e;
    }).finally(function() {
        console.log('This finally block');
    });

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: contains a path separator

File file = context.getFilesDir(); 
file.mkdir();
String[] array = filePath.split("/"); 
for(int t = 0; t < array.length - 1; t++) {
    file = new File(file, array[t]); 
    file.mkdir();
}
File f = new File(file,array[array.length- 1]); 
RandomAccessFileOutputStream rvalue = 
    new RandomAccessFileOutputStream(f, append);

How do I get the difference between two Dates in JavaScript?

See JsFiddle DEMO

    var date1 = new Date();    
    var date2 = new Date("2025/07/30 21:59:00");
    //Customise date2 for your required future time

    showDiff();

function showDiff(date1, date2){

    var diff = (date2 - date1)/1000;
    diff = Math.abs(Math.floor(diff));

    var days = Math.floor(diff/(24*60*60));
    var leftSec = diff - days * 24*60*60;

    var hrs = Math.floor(leftSec/(60*60));
    var leftSec = leftSec - hrs * 60*60;

    var min = Math.floor(leftSec/(60));
    var leftSec = leftSec - min * 60;

    document.getElementById("showTime").innerHTML = "You have " + days + " days " + hrs + " hours " + min + " minutes and " + leftSec + " seconds before death.";

setTimeout(showDiff,1000);
}

for your HTML Code:

<div id="showTime"></div>

Force decimal point instead of comma in HTML5 number input (client-side)

Have you considered using Javascript for this?

$('input').val($('input').val().replace(',', '.'));

Javascript - Append HTML to container element without innerHTML

How to fish and while using strict code. There are two prerequisite functions needed at the bottom of this post.

xml_add('before', id_('element_after'), '<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Some text.</span>');

xml_add('after', id_('element_before'), '<input type="text" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />');

xml_add('inside', id_('element_parent'), '<input type="text" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />');

Add multiple elements (namespace only needs to be on the parent element):

xml_add('inside', id_('element_parent'), '<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><input type="text" /><input type="button" /></div>');

Dynamic reusable code:

function id_(id) {return (document.getElementById(id)) ? document.getElementById(id) : false;}

function xml_add(pos, e, xml)
{
 e = (typeof e == 'string' && id_(e)) ? id_(e) : e;

 if (e.nodeName)
 {
  if (pos=='after') {e.parentNode.insertBefore(document.importNode(new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml,'application/xml').childNodes[0],true),e.nextSibling);}
  else if (pos=='before') {e.parentNode.insertBefore(document.importNode(new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml,'application/xml').childNodes[0],true),e);}
  else if (pos=='inside') {e.appendChild(document.importNode(new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml,'application/xml').childNodes[0],true));}
  else if (pos=='replace') {e.parentNode.replaceChild(document.importNode(new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml,'application/xml').childNodes[0],true),e);}
  //Add fragment and have it returned.
 }
}

Clearing <input type='file' /> using jQuery

Easy: you wrap a <form> around the element, call reset on the form, then remove the form using .unwrap(). Unlike the .clone() solutions otherwise in this thread, you end up with the same element at the end (including custom properties that were set on it).

Tested and working in Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE6+. Also works on other types of form elements, with the exception of type="hidden".

_x000D_
_x000D_
window.reset = function(e) {
  e.wrap('<form>').closest('form').get(0).reset();
  e.unwrap();
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<form>
  <input id="file" type="file">
  <br>
  <input id="text" type="text" value="Original">
</form>

<button onclick="reset($('#file'))">Reset file</button>
<button onclick="reset($('#text'))">Reset text</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

JSFiddle

As Timo notes below, if you have the buttons to trigger the reset of the field inside of the <form>, you must call .preventDefault() on the event to prevent the <button> from triggering a submit.


EDIT

Does not work in IE 11 due to an unfixed bug. The text (file name) is cleared on the input, but its File list remains populated.

commons httpclient - Adding query string parameters to GET/POST request

This is how I implemented my URL builder. I have created one Service class to provide the params for the URL

public interface ParamsProvider {

    String queryProvider(List<BasicNameValuePair> params);

    String bodyProvider(List<BasicNameValuePair> params);
}

The Implementation of methods are below

@Component
public class ParamsProviderImp implements ParamsProvider {
    @Override
    public String queryProvider(List<BasicNameValuePair> params) {
        StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder();
        AtomicBoolean first = new AtomicBoolean(true);
        params.forEach(basicNameValuePair -> {
            if (first.get()) {
                query.append("?");
                query.append(basicNameValuePair.toString());
                first.set(false);
            } else {
                query.append("&");
                query.append(basicNameValuePair.toString());
            }
        });
        return query.toString();
    }

    @Override
    public String bodyProvider(List<BasicNameValuePair> params) {
        StringBuilder body = new StringBuilder();
        AtomicBoolean first = new AtomicBoolean(true);
        params.forEach(basicNameValuePair -> {
            if (first.get()) {
                body.append(basicNameValuePair.toString());
                first.set(false);
            } else {
                body.append("&");
                body.append(basicNameValuePair.toString());
            }
        });
        return body.toString();
    }
}

When we need the query params for our URL, I simply call the service and build it. Example for that is below.

Class Mock{
@Autowired
ParamsProvider paramsProvider;
 String url ="http://www.google.lk";
// For the query params price,type
 List<BasicNameValuePair> queryParameters = new ArrayList<>();
 queryParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("price", 100));
 queryParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("type", "L"));
url = url+paramsProvider.queryProvider(queryParameters);
// You can use it in similar way to send the body params using the bodyProvider

}

Convert date to another timezone in JavaScript

I don't know an easy method to convert a date object to any time zone, but if you want to convert it to the local time zone, you can just convert it with Date.prototype.getTime() to the corresponding number of milliseconds, and back again.

date = new Date('2016-05-24T13:07:20');
date = new Date(date.getTime());

For example, date.getHours() will now return 15 instead of 13 if you are, like me, in Austria (and it's summer).

I've read that the various datetime functions may exhibit non-standard behaviour in some browsers, so test this first. I can confirm that it works in Chrome.

Determine a string's encoding in C#

The SimpleHelpers.FileEncoding Nuget package wraps a C# port of the Mozilla Universal Charset Detector into a dead-simple API:

var encoding = FileEncoding.DetectFileEncoding(txtFile);

Shell script - remove first and last quote (") from a variable

The easiest solution in Bash:

$ s='"abc"'
$ echo $s
"abc"
$ echo "${s:1:-1}"
abc

This is called substring expansion (see Gnu Bash Manual and search for ${parameter:offset:length}). In this example it takes the substring from s starting at position 1 and ending at the second last position. This is due to the fact that if length is a negative value it is interpreted as a backwards running offset from the end of parameter.

How to check if a value exists in an array in Ruby

This is another way to do this: use the Array#index method.

It returns the index of the first occurrence of the element in the array.

For example:

a = ['cat','dog','horse']
if a.index('dog')
    puts "dog exists in the array"
end

index() can also take a block:

For example:

a = ['cat','dog','horse']
puts a.index {|x| x.match /o/}

This returns the index of the first word in the array that contains the letter 'o'.

javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named customerManager

A bit too late but I got the same issue and fixed it switching schemalocation into schemaLocation in the persistence.xml file (line 1).

How to create exe of a console application

Normally, the exe can be found in the debug folder, as suggested previously, but not in the release folder, that is disabled by default in my configuration. If you want to activate the release folder, you can do this: BUILD->Batch Build And activate the "build" checkbox in the release configuration. When you click the build button, the exe with some dependencies will be generated. Now you can copy and use it.

Getting the index of the returned max or min item using max()/min() on a list

Say you have a list such as:

a = [9,8,7]

The following two methods are pretty compact ways to get a tuple with the minimum element and its index. Both take a similar time to process. I better like the zip method, but that is my taste.

zip method

element, index = min(list(zip(a, range(len(a)))))

min(list(zip(a, range(len(a)))))
(7, 2)

timeit min(list(zip(a, range(len(a)))))
1.36 µs ± 107 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

enumerate method

index, element = min(list(enumerate(a)), key=lambda x:x[1])

min(list(enumerate(a)), key=lambda x:x[1])
(2, 7)

timeit min(list(enumerate(a)), key=lambda x:x[1])
1.45 µs ± 78.1 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
