Programs & Examples On #Stdout

The standard output stream (stdout) is the stream where a program writes its output data.

Displaying Windows command prompt output and redirecting it to a file

@echo on

set startDate=%date%
set startTime=%time%

set /a sth=%startTime:~0,2%
set /a stm=1%startTime:~3,2% - 100
set /a sts=1%startTime:~6,2% - 100


fullprocess.bat > C:\LOGS\%startDate%_%sth%.%stm%.%sts%.LOG | fullprocess.bat

This will create a log file with the current datetime and you can the console lines during the process

How to redirect and append both stdout and stderr to a file with Bash?

cmd >>file.txt 2>&1

Bash executes the redirects from left to right as follows:

  1. >>file.txt: Open file.txt in append mode and redirect stdout there.
  2. 2>&1: Redirect stderr to "where stdout is currently going". In this case, that is a file opened in append mode. In other words, the &1 reuses the file descriptor which stdout currently uses.

multiple prints on the same line in Python

print() has a built in parameter "end" that is by default set to "\n" Calling print("This is America") is actually calling print("This is America", end = "\n"). An easy way to do is to call print("This is America", end ="")

C++ alignment when printing cout <<

The ISO C++ standard way to do it is to #include <iomanip> and use io manipulators like std::setw. However, that said, those io manipulators are a real pain to use even for text, and are just about unusable for formatting numbers (I assume you want your dollar amounts to line up on the decimal, have the correct number of significant digits, etc.). Even for just plain text labels, the code will look something like this for the first part of your first line:

// using standard iomanip facilities
cout << setw(20) << "Artist"
     << setw(20) << "Title"
     << setw(8) << "Price";
// ... not going to try to write the numeric formatting...

If you are able to use the Boost libraries, run (don't walk) and use the Boost.Format library instead. It is fully compatible with the standard iostreams, and it gives you all the goodness for easy formatting with printf/Posix formatting string, but without losing any of the power and convenience of iostreams themselves. For example, the first parts of your first two lines would look something like:

// using Boost.Format
cout << format("%-20s %-20s %-8s\n")  % "Artist" % "Title" % "Price";
cout << format("%-20s %-20s %8.2f\n") % "Merle" % "Blue" % 12.99;

Scanf/Printf double variable C

For variable argument functions like printf and scanf, the arguments are promoted, for example, any smaller integer types are promoted to int, float is promoted to double.

scanf takes parameters of pointers, so the promotion rule takes no effect. It must use %f for float* and %lf for double*.

printf will never see a float argument, float is always promoted to double. The format specifier is %f. But C99 also says %lf is the same as %f in printf:

C99 §7.19.6.1 The fprintf function

l (ell) Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion specifier applies to a long int or unsigned long int argument; that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a long int argument; that a following c conversion specifier applies to a wint_t argument; that a following s conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a wchar_t argument; or has no effect on a following a, A, e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier.

Python: How to get stdout after running os.system?

commands also works.

import commands
batcmd = "dir"
result = commands.getoutput(batcmd)
print result

It works on linux, python 2.7.

What does it mean to write to stdout in C?

stdout is the standard output file stream. Obviously, it's first and default pointer to output is the screen, however you can point it to a file as desired!

Please read:

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/stdout/

C++ is very similar to C however, object oriented.

Confused about stdin, stdout and stderr?

Here is a lengthy article on stdin, stdout and stderr:

To summarize:

Streams Are Handled Like Files

Streams in Linux—like almost everything else—are treated as though they were files. You can read text from a file, and you can write text into a file. Both of these actions involve a stream of data. So the concept of handling a stream of data as a file isn’t that much of a stretch.

Each file associated with a process is allocated a unique number to identify it. This is known as the file descriptor. Whenever an action is required to be performed on a file, the file descriptor is used to identify the file.

These values are always used for stdin, stdout, and stderr:

0: stdin
1: stdout
2: stderr

Ironically I found this question on stack overflow and the article above because I was searching for information on abnormal / non-standard streams. So my search continues.

How to redirect both stdout and stderr to a file

If you want to log to the same file:

command1 >> log_file 2>&1

If you want different files:

command1 >> log_file 2>> err_file

Redirect echo output in shell script to logfile

LOG_LOCATION="/path/to/logs"    
exec >> $LOG_LOCATION/mylogfile.log 2>&1

Redirect stdout to a file in Python?

import sys
sys.stdout = open('stdout.txt', 'w')

Add new line in text file with Windows batch file

I believe you are using the

echo Text >> Example.txt 

function?

If so the answer would be simply adding a "." (Dot) directly after the echo with nothing else there.

Example:

echo Blah
echo Blah 2
echo. #New line is added
echo Next Blah

How to redirect output to a file and stdout

Another way that works for me is,

<command> |& tee  <outputFile>

as shown in gnu bash manual

Example:

ls |& tee files.txt

If ‘|&’ is used, command1’s standard error, in addition to its standard output, is connected to command2’s standard input through the pipe; it is shorthand for 2>&1 |. This implicit redirection of the standard error to the standard output is performed after any redirections specified by the command.

For more information, refer redirection

Can I redirect the stdout in python into some sort of string buffer?

This method restores sys.stdout even if there's an exception. It also gets any output before the exception.

import io
import sys

real_stdout = sys.stdout
fake_stdout = io.BytesIO()   # or perhaps io.StringIO()
try:
    sys.stdout = fake_stdout
    # do what you have to do to create some output
finally:
    sys.stdout = real_stdout
    output_string = fake_stdout.getvalue()
    fake_stdout.close()
    # do what you want with the output_string

Tested in Python 2.7.10 using io.BytesIO()

Tested in Python 3.6.4 using io.StringIO()

Print to the same line and not a new line?

For Python 3+

for i in range(5):
    print(str(i) + '\r', sep='', end ='', file = sys.stdout , flush = False)

catching stdout in realtime from subprocess

To avoid caching of output you might wanna try pexpect,

child = pexpect.spawn(launchcmd,args,timeout=None)
while True:
    try:
        child.expect('\n')
        print(child.before)
    except pexpect.EOF:
        break

PS : I know this question is pretty old, still providing the solution which worked for me.

PPS: got this answer from another question

How can I pipe stderr, and not stdout?

I try follow, find it work as well,

command > /dev/null 2>&1 | grep 'something'

Command to get nth line of STDOUT

From sed1line:

# print line number 52
sed -n '52p'                 # method 1
sed '52!d'                   # method 2
sed '52q;d'                  # method 3, efficient on large files

From awk1line:

# print line number 52
awk 'NR==52'
awk 'NR==52 {print;exit}'          # more efficient on large files

How to disable logging on the standard error stream in Python?

You can use:

logging.basicConfig(level=your_level)

where your_level is one of those:

'debug': logging.DEBUG,
'info': logging.INFO,
'warning': logging.WARNING,
'error': logging.ERROR,
'critical': logging.CRITICAL

So, if you set your_level to logging.CRITICAL, you will get only critical messages sent by:

logging.critical('This is a critical error message')

Setting your_level to logging.DEBUG will show all levels of logging.

For more details, please take a look at logging examples.

In the same manner to change level for each Handler use Handler.setLevel() function.

import logging
import logging.handlers

LOG_FILENAME = '/tmp/logging_rotatingfile_example.out'

# Set up a specific logger with our desired output level
my_logger = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Add the log message handler to the logger
handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(
          LOG_FILENAME, maxBytes=20, backupCount=5)

handler.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)

my_logger.addHandler(handler)

How to get Rails.logger printing to the console/stdout when running rspec?

For Rails 4, see this answer.

For Rails 3.x, configure a logger in config/environments/test.rb:

config.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
config.logger.level = Logger::ERROR

This will interleave any errors that are logged during testing to STDOUT. You may wish to route the output to STDERR or use a different log level instead.

Sending these messages to both the console and a log file requires something more robust than Ruby's built-in Logger class. The logging gem will do what you want. Add it to your Gemfile, then set up two appenders in config/environments/test.rb:

logger = Logging.logger['test']
logger.add_appenders(
    Logging.appenders.stdout,
    Logging.appenders.file('example.log')
)
logger.level = :info
config.logger = logger

logger configuration to log to file and print to stdout

Adding a StreamHandler without arguments goes to stderr instead of stdout. If some other process has a dependency on the stdout dump (i.e. when writing an NRPE plugin), then make sure to specify stdout explicitly or you might run into some unexpected troubles.

Here's a quick example reusing the assumed values and LOGFILE from the question:

import logging
from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler
from logging import handlers
import sys

log = logging.getLogger('')
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
format = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")

ch = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
ch.setFormatter(format)
log.addHandler(ch)

fh = handlers.RotatingFileHandler(LOGFILE, maxBytes=(1048576*5), backupCount=7)
fh.setFormatter(format)
log.addHandler(fh)

Setting the correct encoding when piping stdout in Python

I could "automate" it with a call to:

def __fix_io_encoding(last_resort_default='UTF-8'):
  import sys
  if [x for x in (sys.stdin,sys.stdout,sys.stderr) if x.encoding is None] :
      import os
      defEnc = None
      if defEnc is None :
        try:
          import locale
          defEnc = locale.getpreferredencoding()
        except: pass
      if defEnc is None :
        try: defEnc = sys.getfilesystemencoding()
        except: pass
      if defEnc is None :
        try: defEnc = sys.stdin.encoding
        except: pass
      if defEnc is None :
        defEnc = last_resort_default
      os.environ['PYTHONIOENCODING'] = os.environ.get("PYTHONIOENCODING",defEnc)
      os.execvpe(sys.argv[0],sys.argv,os.environ)
__fix_io_encoding() ; del __fix_io_encoding

Yes, it's possible to get an infinite loop here if this "setenv" fails.

How to open every file in a folder

You can actually just use os module to do both:

  1. list all files in a folder
  2. sort files by file type, file name etc.

Here's a simple example:

import os #os module imported here
location = os.getcwd() # get present working directory location here
counter = 0 #keep a count of all files found
csvfiles = [] #list to store all csv files found at location
filebeginwithhello = [] # list to keep all files that begin with 'hello'
otherfiles = [] #list to keep any other file that do not match the criteria

for file in os.listdir(location):
    try:
        if file.endswith(".csv"):
            print "csv file found:\t", file
            csvfiles.append(str(file))
            counter = counter+1

        elif file.startswith("hello") and file.endswith(".csv"): #because some files may start with hello and also be a csv file
            print "csv file found:\t", file
            csvfiles.append(str(file))
            counter = counter+1

        elif file.startswith("hello"):
            print "hello files found: \t", file
            filebeginwithhello.append(file)
            counter = counter+1

        else:
            otherfiles.append(file)
            counter = counter+1
    except Exception as e:
        raise e
        print "No files found here!"

print "Total files found:\t", counter

Now you have not only listed all the files in a folder but also have them (optionally) sorted by starting name, file type and others. Just now iterate over each list and do your stuff.

Redirect stderr and stdout in Bash

# Close STDOUT file descriptor
exec 1<&-
# Close STDERR FD
exec 2<&-

# Open STDOUT as $LOG_FILE file for read and write.
exec 1<>$LOG_FILE

# Redirect STDERR to STDOUT
exec 2>&1

echo "This line will appear in $LOG_FILE, not 'on screen'"

Now, simple echo will write to $LOG_FILE. Useful for daemonizing.

To the author of the original post,

It depends what you need to achieve. If you just need to redirect in/out of a command you call from your script, the answers are already given. Mine is about redirecting within current script which affects all commands/built-ins(includes forks) after the mentioned code snippet.


Another cool solution is about redirecting to both std-err/out AND to logger or log file at once which involves splitting "a stream" into two. This functionality is provided by 'tee' command which can write/append to several file descriptors(files, sockets, pipes, etc) at once: tee FILE1 FILE2 ... >(cmd1) >(cmd2) ...

exec 3>&1 4>&2 1> >(tee >(logger -i -t 'my_script_tag') >&3) 2> >(tee >(logger -i -t 'my_script_tag') >&4)
trap 'cleanup' INT QUIT TERM EXIT


get_pids_of_ppid() {
    local ppid="$1"

    RETVAL=''
    local pids=`ps x -o pid,ppid | awk "\\$2 == \\"$ppid\\" { print \\$1 }"`
    RETVAL="$pids"
}


# Needed to kill processes running in background
cleanup() {
    local current_pid element
    local pids=( "$$" )

    running_pids=("${pids[@]}")

    while :; do
        current_pid="${running_pids[0]}"
        [ -z "$current_pid" ] && break

        running_pids=("${running_pids[@]:1}")
        get_pids_of_ppid $current_pid
        local new_pids="$RETVAL"
        [ -z "$new_pids" ] && continue

        for element in $new_pids; do
            running_pids+=("$element")
            pids=("$element" "${pids[@]}")
        done
    done

    kill ${pids[@]} 2>/dev/null
}

So, from the beginning. Let's assume we have terminal connected to /dev/stdout(FD #1) and /dev/stderr(FD #2). In practice, it could be a pipe, socket or whatever.

  • Create FDs #3 and #4 and point to the same "location" as #1 and #2 respectively. Changing FD #1 doesn't affect FD #3 from now on. Now, FDs #3 and #4 point to STDOUT and STDERR respectively. These will be used as real terminal STDOUT and STDERR.
  • 1> >(...) redirects STDOUT to command in parens
  • parens(sub-shell) executes 'tee' reading from exec's STDOUT(pipe) and redirects to 'logger' command via another pipe to sub-shell in parens. At the same time it copies the same input to FD #3(terminal)
  • the second part, very similar, is about doing the same trick for STDERR and FDs #2 and #4.

The result of running a script having the above line and additionally this one:

echo "Will end up in STDOUT(terminal) and /var/log/messages"

...is as follows:

$ ./my_script
Will end up in STDOUT(terminal) and /var/log/messages

$ tail -n1 /var/log/messages
Sep 23 15:54:03 wks056 my_script_tag[11644]: Will end up in STDOUT(terminal) and /var/log/messages

If you want to see clearer picture, add these 2 lines to the script:

ls -l /proc/self/fd/
ps xf

Reusing output from last command in Bash

The answer is no. Bash doesn't allocate any output to any parameter or any block on its memory. Also, you are only allowed to access Bash by its allowed interface operations. Bash's private data is not accessible unless you hack it.

Disable output buffering

def disable_stdout_buffering():
    # Appending to gc.garbage is a way to stop an object from being
    # destroyed.  If the old sys.stdout is ever collected, it will
    # close() stdout, which is not good.
    gc.garbage.append(sys.stdout)
    sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0)

# Then this will give output in the correct order:
disable_stdout_buffering()
print "hello"
subprocess.call(["echo", "bye"])

Without saving the old sys.stdout, disable_stdout_buffering() isn't idempotent, and multiple calls will result in an error like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/buffering.py", line 17, in <module>
    print "hello"
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
close failed: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

Another possibility is:

def disable_stdout_buffering():
    fileno = sys.stdout.fileno()
    temp_fd = os.dup(fileno)
    sys.stdout.close()
    os.dup2(temp_fd, fileno)
    os.close(temp_fd)
    sys.stdout = os.fdopen(fileno, "w", 0)

(Appending to gc.garbage is not such a good idea because it's where unfreeable cycles get put, and you might want to check for those.)

Running powershell script within python script, how to make python print the powershell output while it is running

  1. Make sure you can run powershell scripts (it is disabled by default). Likely you have already done this. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176949.aspx

    Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
    
  2. Run this python script on your powershell script helloworld.py:

    # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
    import subprocess, sys
    
    p = subprocess.Popen(["powershell.exe", 
                  "C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop\\helloworld.ps1"], 
                  stdout=sys.stdout)
    p.communicate()
    

This code is based on python3.4 (or any 3.x series interpreter), though it should work on python2.x series as well.

C:\Users\MacEwin\Desktop>python helloworld.py
Hello World

Redirect all output to file using Bash on Linux?

If the server is started on the same terminal, then it's the server's stderr that is presumably being written to the terminal and which you are not capturing.

The best way to capture everything would be to run:

script output.txt

before starting up either the server or the client. This will launch a new shell with all terminal output redirected out output.txt as well as the terminal. Then start the server from within that new shell, and then the client. Everything that you see on the screen (both your input and the output of everything writing to the terminal from within that shell) will be written to the file.

When you are done, type "exit" to exit the shell run by the script command.

The difference between sys.stdout.write and print?

print first converts the object to a string (if it is not already a string). It will also put a space before the object if it is not the start of a line and a newline character at the end.

When using stdout, you need to convert the object to a string yourself (by calling "str", for example) and there is no newline character.

So

print 99

is equivalent to:

import sys
sys.stdout.write(str(99) + '\n')

pip or pip3 to install packages for Python 3?

On my Windows instance - and I do not fully understand my environment - using pip3 to install the kaggle-cli package worked - whereas pip did not. I was working in a conda environment and the environments appear to be different.

How do you render primitives as wireframes in OpenGL?

If it's OpenGL ES 2.0 you're dealing with, you can choose one of draw mode constants from

GL_LINE_STRIP, GL_LINE_LOOP, GL_LINES, to draw lines,

GL_POINTS (if you need to draw only vertices), or

GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, and GL_TRIANGLES to draw filled triangles

as first argument to your

glDrawElements(GLenum mode, GLsizei count, GLenum type, const GLvoid * indices)

or

glDrawArrays(GLenum mode, GLint first, GLsizei count) calls.

Dynamic LINQ OrderBy on IEnumerable<T> / IQueryable<T>

You can convert the IEnumerable to IQueryable.

items = items.AsQueryable().OrderBy("Name ASC");

Waiting until the task finishes

In Swift 3, there is no need for completion handler when DispatchQueue finishes one task. Furthermore you can achieve your goal in different ways

One way is this:

    var a: Int?

    let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.app.queue")
    queue.sync {

        for  i in 0..<10 {

            print("??" , i)
            a = i
        }
    }

    print("After Queue \(a)")

It will wait until the loop finishes but in this case your main thread will block.

You can also do the same thing like this:

    let myGroup = DispatchGroup()
    myGroup.enter()
    //// Do your task

    myGroup.leave() //// When your task completes
     myGroup.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main) {

        ////// do your remaining work
    }

One last thing: If you want to use completionHandler when your task completes using DispatchQueue, you can use DispatchWorkItem.

Here is an example how to use DispatchWorkItem:

let workItem = DispatchWorkItem {
    // Do something
}

let queue = DispatchQueue.global()
queue.async {
    workItem.perform()
}
workItem.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main) {
    // Here you can notify you Main thread
}

How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 component only

The accepted answer was correct up until July 2011. To get the latest version, including the Service Pack you should find the latest version as described here:

For example, if you check the SP2 CTP and SP1, you'll find the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio under SP1:

Download the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) version of the SQLManagementStudio*.exe files as appropriate and install it. You can find out whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit by right clicking Computer, selecting Properties and looking at the System Type.

Although you could apply the service pack to the base version that results from following the accepted answer, it's easier to just download the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio and simply install it in one step.

LIMIT 10..20 in SQL Server

From the MS SQL Server online documentation (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186734.aspx ), here is their example that I have tested and works, for retrieving a specific set of rows. ROW_NUMBER requires an OVER, but you can order by whatever you like:

WITH OrderedOrders AS
(
  SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS RowNumber
  FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader 
) 
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate, RowNumber  
FROM OrderedOrders 
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 50 AND 60;

MySQL's now() +1 day

Strip / trim all strings of a dataframe

If you really want to use regex, then

>>> df.replace('(^\s+|\s+$)', '', regex=True, inplace=True)
>>> df
   0   1
0  a  10
1  c   5

But it should be faster to do it like this:

>>> df[0] = df[0].str.strip()

Compare two objects' properties to find differences?

The real problem: How to get the difference of two sets?

The fastest way I've found is to convert the sets to dictionaries first, then diff 'em. Here's a generic approach:

static IEnumerable<T> DictionaryDiff<K, T>(Dictionary<K, T> d1, Dictionary<K, T> d2)
{
    return from x in d1 where !d2.ContainsKey(x.Key) select x.Value;
}

Then you can do something like this:

static public IEnumerable<PropertyInfo> PropertyDiff(Type t1, Type t2)
{
    var d1 = t1.GetProperties().ToDictionary(x => x.Name);
    var d2 = t2.GetProperties().ToDictionary(x => x.Name);
    return DictionaryDiff(d1, d2);
}

How to resolve this JNI error when trying to run LWJGL "Hello World"?

Gradient borders

border-image-slice will extend a CSS border-image gradient

This (as I understand it) prevents the default slicing of the "image" into sections - without it, nothing appears if the border is on one side only, and if it's around the entire element four tiny gradients appear in each corner.

  border-bottom: 6px solid transparent;
  border-image: linear-gradient(to right, red , yellow);
  border-image-slice: 1;

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component VS2012 when debugging

I encountered this error after installing VS2019 but while trying to open a large solution (20+ projects), with both vcxproj and csproj projects, that target VS2015. The csproj all loaded fine, while the vcxproj all failed with the OP's error. Deleting the .vs folder did not work.

What did work was setting VC++'s "Fallback Location", under the "Browsing Database Fallback" settings.

What are all the common ways to read a file in Ruby?

File.open("my/file/path", "r") do |f|
  f.each_line do |line|
    puts line
  end
end
# File is closed automatically at end of block

It is also possible to explicitly close file after as above (pass a block to open closes it for you):

f = File.open("my/file/path", "r")
f.each_line do |line|
  puts line
end
f.close

Can't get private key with openssl (no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY)

I ran into the 'Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY' error when using openssl on Windows (Ubuntu Bash and Git Bash had the same issue).

The cause of the problem was that I'd saved the key and certificate files in Notepad using UTF8. Resaving both files in ANSI format solved the problem.

How to get all files under a specific directory in MATLAB?

You can use regexp or strcmp to eliminate . and .. Or you could use the isdir field if you only want files in the directory, not folders.

list=dir(pwd);  %get info of files/folders in current directory
isfile=~[list.isdir]; %determine index of files vs folders
filenames={list(isfile).name}; %create cell array of file names

or combine the last two lines:

filenames={list(~[list.isdir]).name};

For a list of folders in the directory excluding . and ..

dirnames={list([list.isdir]).name};
dirnames=dirnames(~(strcmp('.',dirnames)|strcmp('..',dirnames)));

From this point, you should be able to throw the code in a nested for loop, and continue searching each subfolder until your dirnames returns an empty cell for each subdirectory.

Is it possible for UIStackView to scroll?

  1. First and foremost design your view, preferably in something like Sketch or get an idea of what do you want as a scrollable content.

  2. After this make the view controller free form (choose from attribute inspector) and set height and width as per the intrinsic content size of your view (to be chosen from the size inspector).

  3. After this in the view controller put a scroll view and this is a logic, which I have found to be working almost all the times in iOS (it may require going through the documentation of that view class which one can obtain via command + click on that class or via googling)

    If you are working with two or more views then first start with a view, which has been introduced earlier or is more primitive and then go to the view which has been introduced later or is more modern. So here since scroll view has been introduced first, start with the scroll view first and then go to the stack view. Here put scroll view constraints to zero in all direction vis-a-vis its super view. Put all your views inside this scroll view and then put them in stack view.

While working with stack view

  • First start with grounds up(bottoms up approach), ie., if you have labels, text fields and images in your view, then lay out these views first (inside the scroll view) and after that put them in the stack view.

  • After that tweak the property of stack view. If desired view is still not achieved, then use another stack view.

  • If still not achieved then play with compression resistance or content hugging priority.
  • After this add constraints to the stack view.
  • Also think of using an empty UIView as filler view, if all of the above is not giving satisfactory results.

After making your view, put a constraint between the mother stack view and the scroll view, while constraint children stack view with the mother stack view. Hopefully by this time it should work fine or you may get a warning from Xcode giving suggestions, read what it says and implement those. Hopefully now you should have a working view as per your expectations:).

How to make links in a TextView clickable?

This question is very old but none answered the obvious one. This code is taken from one of my hobby projects:

package com.stackoverflow.java.android;

import android.content.Context;
import android.text.method.LinkMovementMethod;
import android.text.method.MovementMethod;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView;

public class HyperlinkTextView extends AppCompatTextView {
    public HyperlinkTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public HyperlinkTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public HyperlinkTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    /**
     * Set default movement method to {@link LinkMovementMethod}
     * @return Link movement method as the default movement method
     */
    @Override
    protected MovementMethod getDefaultMovementMethod() {
        return LinkMovementMethod.getInstance();
    }
}

Now, simply using com.stackoverflow.java.android.HyperlinkTextView instead of TextView in your layout files will solve your problem.

Disable browser's back button

I came up with a little hack that disables the back button using JavaScript. I checked it on chrome 10, firefox 3.6 and IE9:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type = "text/javascript" >
function changeHashOnLoad() {
     window.location.href += "#";
     setTimeout("changeHashAgain()", "50"); 
}

function changeHashAgain() {
  window.location.href += "1";
}

var storedHash = window.location.hash;
window.setInterval(function () {
    if (window.location.hash != storedHash) {
         window.location.hash = storedHash;
    }
}, 50);


</script>
</head>
<body onload="changeHashOnLoad(); ">
Try to hit the back button!
</body>
</html>

What is it doing?

From Comments:

This script leverages the fact that browsers consider whatever comes after the "#" sign in the URL as part of the browsing history. What it does is this: When the page loads, "#1" is added to the URL. After 50ms the "1" is removed. When the user clicks "back", the browser changes the URL back to what it was before the "1" was removed, BUT - it's the same web page, so the browser doesn't need to reload the page. – Yossi Shasho

How to predict input image using trained model in Keras?

keras predict_classes (docs) outputs A numpy array of class predictions. Which in your model case, the index of neuron of highest activation from your last(softmax) layer. [[0]] means that your model predicted that your test data is class 0. (usually you will be passing multiple image, and the result will look like [[0], [1], [1], [0]] )

You must convert your actual label (e.g. 'cancer', 'not cancer') into binary encoding (0 for 'cancer', 1 for 'not cancer') for binary classification. Then you will interpret your sequence output of [[0]] as having class label 'cancer'

grep's at sign caught as whitespace

After some time with Google I asked on the ask ubuntu chat room.

A user there was king enough to help me find the solution I was looking for and i wanted to share so that any following suers running into this may find it:

grep -P "(^|\s)abc(\s|$)" gives the result I was looking for. -P is an experimental implementation of perl regexps.

grepping for abc and then using filters like grep -v '@abc' (this is far from perfect...) should also work, but my patch does something similar.

How do I insert a drop-down menu for a simple Windows Forms app in Visual Studio 2008?

You can use a ComboBox with its ComboBoxStyle (appears as DropDownStyle in later versions) set to DropDownList. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.comboboxstyle.aspx

Count of "Defined" Array Elements

In recent browser, you can use filter

var size = arr.filter(function(value) { return value !== undefined }).length;

console.log(size);

Another method, if the browser supports indexOf for arrays:

var size = arr.slice(0).sort().indexOf(undefined);

If for absurd you have one-digit-only elements in the array, you could use that dirty trick:

console.log(arr.join("").length);

There are several methods you can use, but at the end we have to see if it's really worthy doing these instead of a loop.

How to animate button in android?

create shake.xml in anim folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:fromXDelta="0" 
        android:toXDelta="10" 
            android:duration="1000" 
                android:interpolator="@anim/cycle" />

and cycle.xml in anim folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cycleInterpolator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:cycles="4" />

now add animation on your code

Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.shake);
anyview.startAnimation(shake);

If you want vertical animation, change fromXdelta and toXdelta value to fromYdelta and toYdelta value

C++ [Error] no matching function for call to

You are trying to call DeckOfCards::shuffle with a deckOfCards parameter:

deckOfCards cardDeck; // create DeckOfCards object
cardDeck.shuffle(cardDeck); // shuffle the cards in the deck

But the method takes a vector<Card>&:

void deckOfCards::shuffle(vector<Card>& deck)

The compiler error messages are quite clear on this. I'll paraphrase the compiler as it talks to you.

Error:

[Error] no matching function for call to 'deckOfCards::shuffle(deckOfCards&)'

Paraphrased:

Hey, pal. You're trying to call a function called shuffle which apparently takes a single parameter of type reference-to-deckOfCards, but there is no such function.

Error:

[Note] candidate is:

In file included from main.cpp

[Note] void deckOfCards::shuffle(std::vector&)

Paraphrased:

I mean, maybe you meant this other function called shuffle, but that one takes a reference-tovector<something>.

Error:

[Note] no known conversion for argument 1 from 'deckOfCards' to 'std::vector&'

Which I'd be happy to call if I knew how to convert from a deckOfCards to a vector; but I don't. So I won't.

Fastest JavaScript summation

For your specific case, just use the reduce method of Arrays:

var sumArray = function() {
    // Use one adding function rather than create a new one each
    // time sumArray is called
    function add(a, b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    return function(arr) {
        return arr.reduce(add);
    };
}();

alert( sumArray([2, 3, 4]) );

Foreign key constraint may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths?

By the sounds of it you have an OnDelete/OnUpdate action on one of your existing Foreign Keys, that will modify your codes table.

So by creating this Foreign Key, you'd be creating a cyclic problem,

E.g. Updating Employees, causes Codes to changed by an On Update Action, causes Employees to be changed by an On Update Action... etc...

If you post your Table Definitions for both tables, & your Foreign Key/constraint definitions we should be able to tell you where the problem is...

Why is there no xrange function in Python3?

Some performance measurements, using timeit instead of trying to do it manually with time.

First, Apple 2.7.2 64-bit:

In [37]: %timeit collections.deque((x for x in xrange(10000000) if x%4 == 0), maxlen=0)
1 loops, best of 3: 1.05 s per loop

Now, python.org 3.3.0 64-bit:

In [83]: %timeit collections.deque((x for x in range(10000000) if x%4 == 0), maxlen=0)
1 loops, best of 3: 1.32 s per loop

In [84]: %timeit collections.deque((x for x in xrange(10000000) if x%4 == 0), maxlen=0)
1 loops, best of 3: 1.31 s per loop

In [85]: %timeit collections.deque((x for x in iter(range(10000000)) if x%4 == 0), maxlen=0) 
1 loops, best of 3: 1.33 s per loop

Apparently, 3.x range really is a bit slower than 2.x xrange. And the OP's xrange function has nothing to do with it. (Not surprising, as a one-time call to the __iter__ slot isn't likely to be visible among 10000000 calls to whatever happens in the loop, but someone brought it up as a possibility.)

But it's only 30% slower. How did the OP get 2x as slow? Well, if I repeat the same tests with 32-bit Python, I get 1.58 vs. 3.12. So my guess is that this is yet another of those cases where 3.x has been optimized for 64-bit performance in ways that hurt 32-bit.

But does it really matter? Check this out, with 3.3.0 64-bit again:

In [86]: %timeit [x for x in range(10000000) if x%4 == 0]
1 loops, best of 3: 3.65 s per loop

So, building the list takes more than twice as long than the entire iteration.

And as for "consumes much more resources than Python 2.6+", from my tests, it looks like a 3.x range is exactly the same size as a 2.x xrange—and, even if it were 10x as big, building the unnecessary list is still about 10000000x more of a problem than anything the range iteration could possibly do.

And what about an explicit for loop instead of the C loop inside deque?

In [87]: def consume(x):
   ....:     for i in x:
   ....:         pass
In [88]: %timeit consume(x for x in range(10000000) if x%4 == 0)
1 loops, best of 3: 1.85 s per loop

So, almost as much time wasted in the for statement as in the actual work of iterating the range.

If you're worried about optimizing the iteration of a range object, you're probably looking in the wrong place.


Meanwhile, you keep asking why xrange was removed, no matter how many times people tell you the same thing, but I'll repeat it again: It was not removed: it was renamed to range, and the 2.x range is what was removed.

Here's some proof that the 3.3 range object is a direct descendant of the 2.x xrange object (and not of the 2.x range function): the source to 3.3 range and 2.7 xrange. You can even see the change history (linked to, I believe, the change that replaced the last instance of the string "xrange" anywhere in the file).

So, why is it slower?

Well, for one, they've added a lot of new features. For another, they've done all kinds of changes all over the place (especially inside iteration) that have minor side effects. And there'd been a lot of work to dramatically optimize various important cases, even if it sometimes slightly pessimizes less important cases. Add this all up, and I'm not surprised that iterating a range as fast as possible is now a bit slower. It's one of those less-important cases that nobody would ever care enough to focus on. No one is likely to ever have a real-life use case where this performance difference is the hotspot in their code.

Python, how to check if a result set is empty?

MySQLdb will not raise an exception if the result set is empty. Additionally cursor.execute() function will return a long value which is number of rows in the fetched result set. So if you want to check for empty results, your code can be re-written as

rows_count = cursor.execute(query_sql)
if rows_count > 0:
     rs = cursor.fetchall()
else:
     // handle empty result set

JPA or JDBC, how are they different?

JDBC is the predecessor of JPA.

JDBC is a bridge between the Java world and the databases world. In JDBC you need to expose all dirty details needed for CRUD operations, such as table names, column names, while in JPA (which is using JDBC underneath), you also specify those details of database metadata, but with the use of Java annotations.

So JPA creates update queries for you and manages the entities that you looked up or created/updated (it does more as well).

If you want to do JPA without a Java EE container, then Spring and its libraries may be used with the very same Java annotations.

What is the difference between H.264 video and MPEG-4 video?

They are names for the same standard from two different industries with different naming methods, the guys who make & sell movies and the guys who transfer the movies over the internet. Since 2003: "MPEG 4 Part 10" = "H.264" = "AVC". Before that the relationship was a little looser in that they are not equal but an "MPEG 4 Part 2" decoder can render a stream that's "H.263". The Next standard is "MPEG H Part 2" = "H.265" = "HEVC"

Which is the preferred way to concatenate a string in Python?

If the strings you are concatenating are literals, use String literal concatenation

re.compile(
        "[A-Za-z_]"       # letter or underscore
        "[A-Za-z0-9_]*"   # letter, digit or underscore
    )

This is useful if you want to comment on part of a string (as above) or if you want to use raw strings or triple quotes for part of a literal but not all.

Since this happens at the syntax layer it uses zero concatenation operators.

Understanding dict.copy() - shallow or deep?

Take this example:

original = dict(a=1, b=2, c=dict(d=4, e=5))
new = original.copy()

Now let's change a value in the 'shallow' (first) level:

new['a'] = 10
# new = {'a': 10, 'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 4, 'e': 5}}
# original = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 4, 'e': 5}}
# no change in original, since ['a'] is an immutable integer

Now let's change a value one level deeper:

new['c']['d'] = 40
# new = {'a': 10, 'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 40, 'e': 5}}
# original = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 40, 'e': 5}}
# new['c'] points to the same original['d'] mutable dictionary, so it will be changed

What does it mean: The serializable class does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field?

Any class that can be serialized (i.e. implements Serializable) should declare that UID and it must be changed whenever anything changes that affects the serialization (additional fields, removed fields, change of field order, ...). The field's value is checked during deserialization and if the value of the serialized object does not equal the value of the class in the current VM, an exception is thrown.

Note that this value is special in that it is serialized with the object even though it is static, for the reasons described above.

How to compare two dates to find time difference in SQL Server 2005, date manipulation

You can use the DATEDIFF function to get the difference in minutes, seconds, days etc.

SELECT DATEDIFF(MINUTE,job_start,job_end)

MINUTE obviously returns the difference in minutes, you can also use DAY, HOUR, SECOND, YEAR (see the books online link for the full list).

If you want to get fancy you can show this differently for example 75 minutes could be displayed like this: 01:15:00:0

Here is the code to do that for both SQL Server 2005 and 2008

-- SQL Server 2005
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(MINUTE,DATEDIFF(MINUTE,job_start,job_end),'2011-01-01 00:00:00.000'),114)

-- SQL Server 2008
SELECT CAST(DATEADD(MINUTE,DATEDIFF(MINUTE,job_start,job_end),'2011-01-01 00:00:00.000') AS TIME)

python numpy/scipy curve fitting

You'll first need to separate your numpy array into two separate arrays containing x and y values.

x = [1, 2, 3, 9]
y = [1, 4, 1, 3]

curve_fit also requires a function that provides the type of fit you would like. For instance, a linear fit would use a function like

def func(x, a, b):
    return a*x + b

scipy.optimize.curve_fit(func, x, y) will return a numpy array containing two arrays: the first will contain values for a and b that best fit your data, and the second will be the covariance of the optimal fit parameters.

Here's an example for a linear fit with the data you provided.

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit

x = np.array([1, 2, 3, 9])
y = np.array([1, 4, 1, 3])

def fit_func(x, a, b):
    return a*x + b

params = curve_fit(fit_func, x, y)

[a, b] = params[0]

This code will return a = 0.135483870968 and b = 1.74193548387

Here's a plot with your points and the linear fit... which is clearly a bad one, but you can change the fitting function to obtain whatever type of fit you would like.

How to return data from promise

I also don't like using a function to handle a property which has been resolved again and again in every controller and service. Seem I'm not alone :D

Don't tried to get result with a promise as a variable, of course no way. But I found and use a solution below to access to the result as a property.

Firstly, write result to a property of your service:

app.factory('your_factory',function(){
    var theParentIdResult = null;
    var factoryReturn = {  
        theParentId: theParentIdResult,
        addSiteParentId : addSiteParentId
    };
    return factoryReturn;
    function addSiteParentId(nodeId) {   
         var theParentId = 'a';
         var parentId = relationsManagerResource.GetParentId(nodeId)
             .then(function(response){                               
                 factoryReturn.theParentIdResult = response.data;
                 console.log(theParentId);  // #1
             });                    
    }        
})

Now, we just need to ensure that method addSiteParentId always be resolved before we accessed to property theParentId. We can achieve this by using some ways.

  • Use resolve in router method:

    resolve: {
        parentId: function (your_factory) {
             your_factory.addSiteParentId();
        }
    }
    

then in controller and other services used in your router, just call your_factory.theParentId to get your property. Referce here for more information: http://odetocode.com/blogs/scott/archive/2014/05/20/using-resolve-in-angularjs-routes.aspx

  • Use run method of app to resolve your service.

    app.run(function (your_factory) { your_factory.addSiteParentId(); })
    
  • Inject it in the first controller or services of the controller. In the controller we can call all required init services. Then all remain controllers as children of main controller can be accessed to this property normally as you want.

Chose your ways depend on your context depend on scope of your variable and reading frequency of your variable.

Syntax error "syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting keyword_end (SyntaxError)"

Just posting in case it help someone else. The cause of this error for me was a missing do after creating a form with form_with. Hope that may help someone else

Predict() - Maybe I'm not understanding it

First, you want to use

model <- lm(Total ~ Coupon, data=df)

not model <-lm(df$Total ~ df$Coupon, data=df).

Second, by saying lm(Total ~ Coupon), you are fitting a model that uses Total as the response variable, with Coupon as the predictor. That is, your model is of the form Total = a + b*Coupon, with a and b the coefficients to be estimated. Note that the response goes on the left side of the ~, and the predictor(s) on the right.

Because of this, when you ask R to give you predicted values for the model, you have to provide a set of new predictor values, ie new values of Coupon, not Total.

Third, judging by your specification of newdata, it looks like you're actually after a model to fit Coupon as a function of Total, not the other way around. To do this:

model <- lm(Coupon ~ Total, data=df)
new.df <- data.frame(Total=c(79037022, 83100656, 104299800))
predict(model, new.df)

Getting ORA-01031: insufficient privileges while querying a table instead of ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

for ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. Some of the more common causes are:

  1. You tried to change an Oracle username or password without having the appropriate privileges.
  2. You tried to perform an UPDATE to a table, but you only have SELECT access to the table.
  3. You tried to start up an Oracle database using CONNECT INTERNAL.
  4. You tried to install an Oracle database without having the appropriate privileges to the operating-system.

The option(s) to resolve this Oracle error are:

  1. You can have the Oracle DBA grant you the appropriate privileges that you are missing.
  2. You can have the Oracle DBA execute the operation for you.
  3. If you are having trouble starting up Oracle, you may need to add the Oracle user to the dba group.

For ORA-00942: table or view does not exist. You tried to execute a SQL statement that references a table or view that either does not exist, that you do not have access to, or that belongs to another schema and you didn't reference the table by the schema name.

If this error occurred because the table or view does not exist, you will need to create the table or view.

You can check to see if the table exists in Oracle by executing the following SQL statement:

select *
from all_objects
where object_type in ('TABLE','VIEW')
and object_name = 'OBJECT_NAME';

For example, if you are looking for a suppliers table, you would execute:

select *
from all_objects
where object_type in ('TABLE','VIEW')
and object_name = 'SUPPLIERS';

OPTION #2

If this error occurred because you do not have access to the table or view, you will need to have the owner of the table/view, or a DBA grant you the appropriate privileges to this object.

OPTION #3

If this error occurred because the table/view belongs to another schema and you didn't reference the table by the schema name, you will need to rewrite your SQL to include the schema name.

For example, you may have executed the following SQL statement:

select *
from suppliers;

But the suppliers table is not owned by you, but rather, it is owned by a schema called app, you could fix your SQL as follows:

select *
from app.suppliers;

If you do not know what schema the suppliers table/view belongs to, you can execute the following SQL to find out:

select owner
from all_objects
where object_type in ('TABLE','VIEW')
and object_name = 'SUPPLIERS';

This will return the schema name who owns the suppliers table.

How to convert an int to string in C?

The short answer is:

snprintf( str, size, "%d", x );

The longer is: first you need to find out sufficient size. snprintf tells you length if you call it with NULL, 0 as first parameters:

snprintf( NULL, 0, "%d", x );

Allocate one character more for null-terminator.

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

int x = -42;
int length = snprintf( NULL, 0, "%d", x );
char* str = malloc( length + 1 );
snprintf( str, length + 1, "%d", x );
...
free(str);

If works for every format string, so you can convert float or double to string by using "%g", you can convert int to hex using "%x", and so on.

What is the minimum length of a valid international phone number?

As per different sources, I think the minimum length in E-164 format depends on country to country. For eg:

  • For Israel: The minimum phone number length (excluding the country code) is 8 digits. - Official Source (Country Code 972)
  • For Sweden : The minimum number length (excluding the country code) is 7 digits. - Official Source? (country code 46)

  • For Solomon Islands its 5 for fixed line phones. - Source (country code 677)

... and so on. So including country code, the minimum length is 9 digits for Sweden and 11 for Israel and 8 for Solomon Islands.

Edit (Clean Solution): Actually, Instead of validating an international phone number by having different checks like length etc, you can use the Google's libphonenumber library. It can validate a phone number in E164 format directly. It will take into account everything and you don't even need to give the country if the number is in valid E164 format. Its pretty good! Taking an example:

String phoneNumberE164Format = "+14167129018"
PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
try {
    PhoneNumber phoneNumberProto = phoneUtil.parse(phoneNumberE164Format, null);
    boolean isValid = phoneUtil.isValidNumber(phoneNumberProto); // returns true if valid
    if (isValid) {
        // Actions to perform if the number is valid
    } else {
        // Do necessary actions if its not valid 
    }
} catch (NumberParseException e) {
    System.err.println("NumberParseException was thrown: " + e.toString());
}

If you know the country for which you are validating the numbers, you don;t even need the E164 format and can specify the country in .parse function instead of passing null.

Find the closest ancestor element that has a specific class

Update: Now supported in most major browsers

document.querySelector("p").closest(".near.ancestor")

Note that this can match selectors, not just classes

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element.closest


For legacy browsers that do not support closest() but have matches() one can build selector-matching similar to @rvighne's class matching:

function findAncestor (el, sel) {
    while ((el = el.parentElement) && !((el.matches || el.matchesSelector).call(el,sel)));
    return el;
}

What does FETCH_HEAD in Git mean?

FETCH_HEAD is a short-lived ref, to keep track of what has just been fetched from the remote repository.

Actually, ... not always considering that, with Git 2.29 (Q4 2020), "git fetch"(man) learned --no-write-fetch-head option to avoid writing the FETCH_HEAD file.

See commit 887952b (18 Aug 2020) by Junio C Hamano (gitster).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit b556050, 24 Aug 2020)

fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update

Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee

If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches, and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately), you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.

Teach "git fetch"(man) a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".

  • The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default, because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive form may become necessary to defeat it).

Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written; otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not actually have.

Passing --write-fetch-head does not force [git fetch](https://github.com/git/git/blob/887952b8c680626f4721cb5fa57704478801aca4/Documentation/git-fetch.txt)<sup>([man](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fetch))</sup> to write the file.

fetch-options now includes in its man page:

--[no-]write-fetch-head

Write the list of remote refs fetched in the FETCH_HEAD file directly under $GIT_DIR.
This is the default.

Passing --no-write-fetch-head from the command line tells Git not to write the file.
Under --dry-run option, the file is never written.


Consider also, still with Git 2.29 (Q4 2020), the FETCH_HEAD is now always read from the filesystem regardless of the ref backend in use, as its format is much richer than the normal refs, and written directly by "git fetch"(man) as a plain file..

See commit e811530, commit 5085aef, commit 4877c6c, commit e39620f (19 Aug 2020) by Han-Wen Nienhuys (hanwen).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 98df75b, 27 Aug 2020)

refs: read FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD generically

Signed-off-by: Han-Wen Nienhuys

The FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD refs must be stored in a file, regardless of the type of ref backend. This is because they can hold more than just a single ref.

To accomodate them for alternate ref backends, read them from a file generically in refs_read_raw_ref().


With Git 2.29 (Q4 2020), Updates to on-demand fetching code in lazily cloned repositories.

See commit db3c293 (02 Sep 2020), and commit 9dfa8db, commit 7ca3c0a, commit 5c3b801, commit abcb7ee, commit e5b9421, commit 2b713c2, commit cbe566a (17 Aug 2020) by Jonathan Tan (jhowtan).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit b4100f3, 03 Sep 2020)

fetch: no FETCH_HEAD display if --no-write-fetch-head

Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan

887952b8c6 ("fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update", 2020-08-18, Git v2.29.0 -- merge listed in batch #10) introduced the ability to disable writing to FETCH_HEAD during fetch, but did not suppress the "<source> -> FETCH_HEAD" message when this ability is used.

This message is misleading in this case, because FETCH_HEAD is not written.

Also, because "fetch" is used to lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are potentially numerous.

Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed (but not when --dry-run is set).

java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare();

From http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html :

Additionally, the Android UI toolkit is not thread-safe. So, you must not manipulate your UI from a worker thread—you must do all manipulation to your user interface from the UI thread. Thus, there are simply two rules to Android's single thread model:

  1. Do not block the UI thread
  2. Do not access the Android UI toolkit from outside the UI thread

You have to detect idleness in a worker thread and show a toast in the main thread.

Please post some code, if you want a more detailed answer.

Iterate Multi-Dimensional Array with Nested Foreach Statement

I was looking for a solution to enumerate an array of an unknown at compile time rank with an access to every element indices set. I saw solutions with yield but here is another implementation with no yield. It is in old school minimalistic way. In this example AppendArrayDebug() just prints all the elements into StringBuilder buffer.

public static void AppendArrayDebug ( StringBuilder sb, Array array )
{
    if( array == null || array.Length == 0 )
    {
        sb.Append( "<nothing>" );
        return;
    }

    int i;

    var rank = array.Rank;
    var lastIndex = rank - 1;

    // Initialize indices and their boundaries
    var indices = new int[rank];
    var lower = new int[rank];
    var upper = new int[rank];
    for( i = 0; i < rank; ++i )
    {
        indices[i] = lower[i] = array.GetLowerBound( i );
        upper[i] = array.GetUpperBound( i );
    }

    while( true )
    {
        BeginMainLoop:

        // Begin work with an element

        var element = array.GetValue( indices );

        sb.AppendLine();
        sb.Append( '[' );
        for( i = 0; i < rank; ++i )
        {
            sb.Append( indices[i] );
            sb.Append( ' ' );
        }
        sb.Length -= 1;
        sb.Append( "] = " );
        sb.Append( element );

        // End work with the element

        // Increment index set

        // All indices except the first one are enumerated several times
        for( i = lastIndex; i > 0; )
        {
            if( ++indices[i] <= upper[i] )
                goto BeginMainLoop;
            indices[i] = lower[i];
            --i;
        }

        // Special case for the first index, it must be enumerated only once
        if( ++indices[0] > upper[0] )
            break;
    }
}

For example the following array will produce the following output:

var array = new [,,]
{
    { {  1,  2,  3 }, {  4,  5,  6 }, {  7,  8,  9 }, { 10, 11, 12 } },

Adding a Method to an Existing Object Instance

I find it strange that nobody mentioned that all of the methods listed above creates a cycle reference between the added method and the instance, causing the object to be persistent till garbage collection. There was an old trick adding a descriptor by extending the class of the object:

def addmethod(obj, name, func):
    klass = obj.__class__
    subclass = type(klass.__name__, (klass,), {})
    setattr(subclass, name, func)
    obj.__class__ = subclass

bootstrap.min.js:6 Uncaught Error: Bootstrap dropdown require Popper.js

On moving a .html template to a wordpress one, I found this "popper required" popping up regularly :)

Two reasons it happened for me: and the console error can be deceptive:

  1. The error in the console can send you down the wrong path. It MIGHT not be the real issue. First reason for me was the order in which you have set your .js files to load. In html easy, put them in the same order as the theme template. In Wordpress, you need to enqueue them in the right order, but also set a priority if they don't appear in the right order,

  2. Second thing is are the .js files in the header or the footer. Moving them to the footer can solve the issue - it did for me, after a day of trying to debug the issue. Usually doesn't matter, but for a complex page with lots of js libraries, it might!

Wavy shape with css

I like ThomasA's answer, but wanted a more realistic context with the wave being used to separate two divs. So I created a more complete demo where the separator SVG gets positioned perfectly between the two divs.

css wavy divider in CSS

Now I thought it would be cool to take it further. What if we could do this all in CSS without the need for the inline SVG? The point being to avoid extra markup. Here's how I did it:

Two simple <div>:

Demo Wavy divider (with CSS pseudo-elements to avoid extra markup)

It was a bit trickier to position than with an inline SVG but works just as well. (Could use CSS custom properties or pre-processor variables to keep the height and padding easy to read.)

To edit the colors, you need to edit the URL-encoded SVG itself.

Pay attention (like in the first demo) to a change in the viewBox to get rid of unwanted spaces in the SVG. (Another option would be to draw a different SVG.)

Another thing to pay attention to here is the background-size set to 100% 100% to get it to stretch in both directions.

Swift: Testing optionals for nil

Another approach besides using if or guard statements to do the optional binding is to extend Optional with:

extension Optional {

    func ifValue(_ valueHandler: (Wrapped) -> Void) {
        switch self {
        case .some(let wrapped): valueHandler(wrapped)
        default: break
        }
    }

}

ifValue receives a closure and calls it with the value as an argument when the optional is not nil. It is used this way:

var helloString: String? = "Hello, World!"

helloString.ifValue {
    print($0) // prints "Hello, World!"
}

helloString = nil

helloString.ifValue {
    print($0) // This code never runs
}

You should probably use an if or guard however as those are the most conventional (thus familiar) approaches used by Swift programmers.

How to include another XHTML in XHTML using JSF 2.0 Facelets?

<ui:include>

Most basic way is <ui:include>. The included content must be placed inside <ui:composition>.

Kickoff example of the master page /page.xhtml:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
    xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets">
    <h:head>
        <title>Include demo</title>
    </h:head>
    <h:body>
        <h1>Master page</h1>
        <p>Master page blah blah lorem ipsum</p>
        <ui:include src="/WEB-INF/include.xhtml" />
    </h:body>
</html>

The include page /WEB-INF/include.xhtml (yes, this is the file in its entirety, any tags outside <ui:composition> are unnecessary as they are ignored by Facelets anyway):

<ui:composition 
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
    xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets">
    <h2>Include page</h2>
    <p>Include page blah blah lorem ipsum</p>
</ui:composition>
  

This needs to be opened by /page.xhtml. Do note that you don't need to repeat <html>, <h:head> and <h:body> inside the include file as that would otherwise result in invalid HTML.

You can use a dynamic EL expression in <ui:include src>. See also How to ajax-refresh dynamic include content by navigation menu? (JSF SPA).


<ui:define>/<ui:insert>

A more advanced way of including is templating. This includes basically the other way round. The master template page should use <ui:insert> to declare places to insert defined template content. The template client page which is using the master template page should use <ui:define> to define the template content which is to be inserted.

Master template page /WEB-INF/template.xhtml (as a design hint: the header, menu and footer can in turn even be <ui:include> files):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
    xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets">
    <h:head>
        <title><ui:insert name="title">Default title</ui:insert></title>
    </h:head>
    <h:body>
        <div id="header">Header</div>
        <div id="menu">Menu</div>
        <div id="content"><ui:insert name="content">Default content</ui:insert></div>
        <div id="footer">Footer</div>
    </h:body>
</html>

Template client page /page.xhtml (note the template attribute; also here, this is the file in its entirety):

<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/template.xhtml"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
    xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets">

    <ui:define name="title">
        New page title here
    </ui:define>

    <ui:define name="content">
        <h1>New content here</h1>
        <p>Blah blah</p>
    </ui:define>
</ui:composition>

This needs to be opened by /page.xhtml. If there is no <ui:define>, then the default content inside <ui:insert> will be displayed instead, if any.


<ui:param>

You can pass parameters to <ui:include> or <ui:composition template> by <ui:param>.

<ui:include ...>
    <ui:param name="foo" value="#{bean.foo}" />
</ui:include>
<ui:composition template="...">
    <ui:param name="foo" value="#{bean.foo}" />
    ...
</ui:composition >

Inside the include/template file, it'll be available as #{foo}. In case you need to pass "many" parameters to <ui:include>, then you'd better consider registering the include file as a tagfile, so that you can ultimately use it like so <my:tagname foo="#{bean.foo}">. See also When to use <ui:include>, tag files, composite components and/or custom components?

You can even pass whole beans, methods and parameters via <ui:param>. See also JSF 2: how to pass an action including an argument to be invoked to a Facelets sub view (using ui:include and ui:param)?


Design hints

The files which aren't supposed to be publicly accessible by just entering/guessing its URL, need to be placed in /WEB-INF folder, like as the include file and the template file in above example. See also Which XHTML files do I need to put in /WEB-INF and which not?

There doesn't need to be any markup (HTML code) outside <ui:composition> and <ui:define>. You can put any, but they will be ignored by Facelets. Putting markup in there is only useful for web designers. See also Is there a way to run a JSF page without building the whole project?

The HTML5 doctype is the recommended doctype these days, "in spite of" that it's a XHTML file. You should see XHTML as a language which allows you to produce HTML output using a XML based tool. See also Is it possible to use JSF+Facelets with HTML 4/5? and JavaServer Faces 2.2 and HTML5 support, why is XHTML still being used.

CSS/JS/image files can be included as dynamically relocatable/localized/versioned resources. See also How to reference CSS / JS / image resource in Facelets template?

You can put Facelets files in a reusable JAR file. See also Structure for multiple JSF projects with shared code.

For real world examples of advanced Facelets templating, check the src/main/webapp folder of Java EE Kickoff App source code and OmniFaces showcase site source code.

How to correct "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable" in recursive function?

One of the values you pass on to Ancestors becomes None at some point, it says, so check if otu, tree, tree[otu] or tree[otu][0] are None in the beginning of the function instead of only checking tree[otu][0][0] == None. But perhaps you should reconsider your path of action and the datatype in question to see if you could improve the structure somewhat.

How to add,set and get Header in request of HttpClient?

You can test-drive this code exactly as is using the public GitHub API (don't go over the request limit):

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom().build();

        // (1) Use the new Builder API (from v4.3)
        HttpUriRequest request = RequestBuilder.get()
                .setUri("https://api.github.com")
                // (2) Use the included enum
                .setHeader(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json")
                // (3) Or your own
                .setHeader("Your own very special header", "value")
                .build();

        CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

        // (4) How to read all headers with Java8
        List<Header> httpHeaders = Arrays.asList(response.getAllHeaders());
        httpHeaders.stream().forEach(System.out::println);

        // close client and response
    }
}

Find MongoDB records where array field is not empty

ME.find({pictures: {$exists: true}}) 

Simple as that, this worked for me.

Change multiple files

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the -exec argument to find, which is intended for this type of use-case, although it will start a process for each matching file name:

find . -type f -name 'xa*' -exec sed -i 's/asd/dsg/g' {} \;

Alternatively, one could use xargs, which will invoke fewer processes:

find . -type f -name 'xa*' | xargs sed -i 's/asd/dsg/g'

Or more simply use the + exec variant instead of ; in find to allow find to provide more than one file per subprocess call:

find . -type f -name 'xa*' -exec sed -i 's/asd/dsg/g' {} +

JavaScript override methods

Edit: It's now six years since the original answer was written and a lot has changed!

  • If you're using a newer version of JavaScript, possibly compiled with a tool like Babel, you can use real classes.
  • If you're using the class-like component constructors provided by Angular or React, you'll want to look in the docs for that framework.
  • If you're using ES5 and making "fake" classes by hand using prototypes, the answer below is still as right as it ever was.

Good luck!


JavaScript inheritance looks a bit different from Java. Here is how the native JavaScript object system looks:

// Create a class
function Vehicle(color){
  this.color = color;
}

// Add an instance method
Vehicle.prototype.go = function(){
  return "Underway in " + this.color;
}

// Add a second class
function Car(color){
  this.color = color;
}

// And declare it is a subclass of the first
Car.prototype = new Vehicle();

// Override the instance method
Car.prototype.go = function(){
  return Vehicle.prototype.go.call(this) + " car"
}

// Create some instances and see the overridden behavior.
var v = new Vehicle("blue");
v.go() // "Underway in blue"

var c = new Car("red");
c.go() // "Underway in red car"

Unfortunately this is a bit ugly and it does not include a very nice way to "super": you have to manually specify which parent classes' method you want to call. As a result, there are a variety of tools to make creating classes nicer. Try looking at Prototype.js, Backbone.js, or a similar library that includes a nicer syntax for doing OOP in js.

What is setup.py?

When you download a package with setup.py open your Terminal (Mac,Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows). Using cd and helping you with Tab button set the path right to the folder where you have downloaded the file and where there is setup.py :

iMac:~ user $ cd path/pakagefolderwithsetupfile/

Press enter, you should see something like this:

iMac:pakagefolderwithsetupfile user$

Then type after this python setup.py install :

iMac:pakagefolderwithsetupfile user$ python setup.py install

Press enter. Done!

How to search by key=>value in a multidimensional array in PHP

If you want to search for array of keys this is good

function searchKeysInMultiDimensionalArray($array, $keys)
{
    $results = array();

    if (is_array($array)) {
        $resultArray = array_intersect_key($array, array_flip($keys));
        if (!empty($resultArray)) {
            $results[] = $resultArray;
        }

        foreach ($array as $subarray) {
            $results = array_merge($results, searchKeysInMultiDimensionalArray($subarray, $keys));
        }
    }

    return $results;
}

Keys will not overwrite because each set of key => values will be in separate array in resulting array.
If you don't want duplicate keys then use this one

function searchKeysInMultiDimensionalArray($array, $keys)
{
    $results = array();

    if (is_array($array)) {
        $resultArray = array_intersect_key($array, array_flip($keys));
        if (!empty($resultArray)) {
            foreach($resultArray as $key => $single) {

                $results[$key] = $single;
            }
        }

        foreach ($array as $subarray) {
            $results = array_merge($results, searchKeysInMultiDimensionalArray($subarray, $keys));
        }
    }

    return $results;
}

How to uninstall pip on OSX?

In order to completely remove pip, I believe you have to delete its files from all Python versions on your computer. For me, they are here:

cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/
cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/

You may need to remove the files or the directories located at these file-paths (and more, depending on the number of versions of Python you have installed).

Edit: to find all versions of pip on your machine, use: find / -name pip 2>/dev/null, which starts at its highest level (hence the /) and hides all error messages (that's what 2>/dev/null does). This is my output:

$ find / -name pip 2>/dev/null
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/pip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.1/bin/pip

Why is my CSS style not being applied?

In addition to the solutions posted above, having gone through the exact same problem, make sure you check your HTML. More specifically whether you've properly labelled your elements, as well as class and id selectors. You can do this either manually or through a validator (https://validator.w3.org/).

For me, I missed the equal sign next to the class (<div class someDiv> vs <div class = "someDiv">, hence why no CSS property was applied.

How to increase code font size in IntelliJ?

You can use Presentation Mode to temporarily increase the font size.

Note: The location of this menu has changed. It's nearer the top.

Enable Presentation Mode with View -> Enter Presentation Mode

View menu

I needed to increase the default font size for presentation mode. To do this, open Settings and typed "presentation mode" in the search bar. Under appearance, scroll down to Presentation Mode, and select your preferred font size.

Presentation font settings

Because I use it frequently, I mapped "toggle presentation mode" to Ctrl-P. Under "Keymap", right-click on "Toggle Presentation mode" and select "Add keyboard shortcut"

Keymap for presentation mode

Literally press the Control and P keys and then hit OK to enable this.

Suppress Scientific Notation in Numpy When Creating Array From Nested List

I guess what you need is np.set_printoptions(suppress=True), for details see here: http://pythonquirks.blogspot.fr/2009/10/controlling-printing-in-numpy.html

For SciPy.org numpy documentation, which includes all function parameters (suppress isn't detailed in the above link), see here: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.set_printoptions.html

How can I select all children of an element except the last child?

Nick Craver's solution gave me what I needed but to make it explicit for those using CSS-in-JS:

const styles = {
  yourClass: {
    /* Styles for all elements with this class */
    '&:not(:last-child)': {
      /* Styles for all EXCEPT the last element with this class */
    },
  },
};

Best way to iterate through a Perl array

1 is substantially different from 2 and 3, since it leaves the array in tact, whereas the other two leave it empty.

I'd say #3 is pretty wacky and probably less efficient, so forget that.

Which leaves you with #1 and #2, and they do not do the same thing, so one cannot be "better" than the other. If the array is large and you don't need to keep it, generally scope will deal with it (but see NOTE), so generally, #1 is still the clearest and simplest method. Shifting each element off will not speed anything up. Even if there is a need to free the array from the reference, I'd just go:

undef @Array;

when done.

  • NOTE: The subroutine containing the scope of the array actually keeps the array and re-uses the space next time. Generally, that should be fine (see comments).

"unable to locate adb" using Android Studio

I use android studio in Windows 7 and i have AVG for antivirus. The first time you launch adb, AVG prompts you to add avg.exe in antivirus vault. If you accept, then you android studio dont have access to run adb.exe. So open avg >> options >> Virus Vault >> Restore (select the adb file)

CSS Classes & SubClasses

you can also have two classes within an element like this

<div class = "item1 item2 item3"></div>

each item in the class is its own class

.item1 {
  background-color:black;
}

.item2 {
  background-color:green;
}

.item3 {

Query to search all packages for table and/or column

You can do this:

Is there a simple, elegant way to define singletons?

The one time I wrote a singleton in Python I used a class where all the member functions had the classmethod decorator.

class foo:
  x = 1

  @classmethod
  def increment(cls, y = 1):
    cls.x += y

How to find integer array size in java

SQL Server - How to lock a table until a stored procedure finishes

BEGIN TRANSACTION

select top 1 *

-- You do lots of things here

COMMIT

This will hold the 'table lock' until the end of your current "transaction".

_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

In order to see images, plots and anything displayed on windows on your remote machine you need to connect to it like this:

ssh -X user@hostname

That way you enable the access to the X server. The X server is a program in the X Window System that runs on local machines (i.e., the computers used directly by users) and handles all access to the graphics cards, display screens and input devices (typically a keyboard and mouse) on those computers.

JavaScript variable assignments from tuples

Tuples aren't supported in JavaScript

If you're looking for an immutable list, Object.freeze() can be used to make an array immutable.

The Object.freeze() method freezes an object: that is, prevents new properties from being added to it; prevents existing properties from being removed; and prevents existing properties, or their enumerability, configurability, or writability, from being changed. In essence the object is made effectively immutable. The method returns the object being frozen.

Source: Mozilla Developer Network - Object.freeze()

Assign an array as usual but lock it using 'Object.freeze()

> tuple = Object.freeze(['Bob', 24]);
[ 'Bob', 24 ]

Use the values as you would a regular array (python multi-assignment is not supported)

> name = tuple[0]
'Bob'
> age = tuple[1]
24

Attempt to assign a new value

> tuple[0] = 'Steve'
'Steve'

But the value is not changed

> console.log(tuple)
[ 'Bob', 24 ]

How can I convert a zero-terminated byte array to string?

Simplistic solution:

str := fmt.Sprintf("%s", byteArray)

I'm not sure how performant this is though.

How to do ToString for a possibly null object?

I disagree with that this:

String s = myObj == null ? "" : myObj.ToString();

is a hack in any way. I think it's a good example of clear code. It's absolutely obvious what you want to achieve and that you're expecting null.

UPDATE:

I see now that you were not saying that this was a hack. But it's implied in the question that you think this way is not the way to go. In my mind it's definitely the clearest solution.

Functional programming vs Object Oriented programming

When do you choose functional programming over object oriented?

When you anticipate a different kind of software evolution:

  • Object-oriented languages are good when you have a fixed set of operations on things, and as your code evolves, you primarily add new things. This can be accomplished by adding new classes which implement existing methods, and the existing classes are left alone.

  • Functional languages are good when you have a fixed set of things, and as your code evolves, you primarily add new operations on existing things. This can be accomplished by adding new functions which compute with existing data types, and the existing functions are left alone.

When evolution goes the wrong way, you have problems:

  • Adding a new operation to an object-oriented program may require editing many class definitions to add a new method.

  • Adding a new kind of thing to a functional program may require editing many function definitions to add a new case.

This problem has been well known for many years; in 1998, Phil Wadler dubbed it the "expression problem". Although some researchers think that the expression problem can be addressed with such language features as mixins, a widely accepted solution has yet to hit the mainstream.

What are the typical problem definitions where functional programming is a better choice?

Functional languages excel at manipulating symbolic data in tree form. A favorite example is compilers, where source and intermediate languages change seldom (mostly the same things), but compiler writers are always adding new translations and code improvements or optimizations (new operations on things). Compilation and translation more generally are "killer apps" for functional languages.

Search for exact match of string in excel row using VBA Macro

Use worksheet.find (worksheet is your worksheet) and use the row-range for its range-object. You can get the rangeobject like: worksheet.rows(rowIndex) as example

Then give find the required parameters it should find it for you fine. If I recall correctly, find returns the first match per default. I have no Excel at hand, so you have to look up find for yourself, sorry

I would advise against using a for-loop it is more fragile and ages slower than find.

Position DIV relative to another DIV?

First set position of the parent DIV to relative (specifying the offset, i.e. left, top etc. is not necessary) and then apply position: absolute to the child DIV with the offset you want.
It's simple and should do the trick well.

Why is volatile needed in C?

There are two uses. These are specially used more often in embedded development.

  1. Compiler will not optimise the functions that uses variables that are defined with volatile keyword

  2. Volatile is used to access exact memory locations in RAM, ROM, etc... This is used more often to control memory-mapped devices, access CPU registers and locate specific memory locations.

See examples with assembly listing. Re: Usage of C "volatile" Keyword in Embedded Development

What is the difference between Serialization and Marshaling?

My vies is:

Problem: Object belongs to some process(VM) and it's lifetime is the same

Serialisation - transform object state into stream of bytes(JSON, XML...) for saving, sharing, transforming...

Marshalling - contains Serialisation + codebase. Usually it used by Remote procedure call(RPC) -> Java Remote Method Invocation(Java RMI) where you are able to invoke a object's method which is hosted on remote Java processes.

codebase - is a place or URL to class definition where it can be downloaded by ClassLoader. CLASSPATH[About] is as a local codebase

JVM -> Class Loader -> load class definition -> class

Very simple diagram for RMI

Serialisation - state
Marshalling - state + class definition

List Git aliases

Search or show all aliases

Add to your .gitconfig under [alias]:

aliases = !git config --list | grep ^alias\\. | cut -c 7- | grep -Ei --color \"$1\" "#"

Then you can do

  • git aliases - show ALL aliases
  • git aliases commit - only aliases containing "commit"

Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher

Had a similar issue. But it is important to understand the root cause and it may vary for different use cases.

Scenario 1
You are trying to decrypt a value which was not encoded correctly in the first place.

byte[] encryptedBytes = Base64.decodeBase64(encryptedBase64String);

If the String is misconfigured for certain reason or has not been encoded correctly, you would see the error " Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher"

Scenario 2
Now if by any chance you are using this encoded string in url (trying to pass in the base64Encoded value in url, it will fail. You should do URLEncoding and then pass in the token, it will work.

Scenario 3
When integrating with one of the vendors, we found that we had to do encryption of Base64 using URLEncoder but then we need not decode it because it was done internally by the Vendor

Send multiple checkbox data to PHP via jQuery ajax()

Check this out.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function submitForm() {
$(document).ready(function() {
$("form#myForm").submit(function() {

        var myCheckboxes = new Array();
        $("input:checked").each(function() {
           myCheckboxes.push($(this).val());
        });

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "myurl.php",
            dataType: 'html',
            data: 'myField='+$("textarea[name=myField]").val()+'&myCheckboxes='+myCheckboxes,
            success: function(data){
                $('#myResponse').html(data)
            }
        });
        return false;
});
});
}
</script>

And on myurl.php you can use print_r($_POST['myCheckboxes']);

How to manage local vs production settings in Django?

I think the best solution is suggested by @T. Stone, but I don't know why just don't use the DEBUG flag in Django. I Write the below code for my website:

Always the simple solutions are better than complex ones.

How can I get the nth character of a string?

Array notation and pointer arithmetic can be used interchangeably in C/C++ (this is not true for ALL the cases but by the time you get there, you will find the cases yourself). So although str is a pointer, you can use it as if it were an array like so:

char char_E = str[1];
char char_L1 = str[2];
char char_O = str[4];

...and so on. What you could also do is "add" 1 to the value of the pointer to a character str which will then point to the second character in the string. Then you can simply do:

str = str + 1; // makes it point to 'E' now
char myChar =  *str;

I hope this helps.

Remove a folder from git tracking

if file is committed and pushed to github then you should run

git rm --fileName

git ls-files to make sure that the file is removed or untracked

git commit -m "UntrackChanges"

git push

Is there a way to specify how many characters of a string to print out using printf()?

In C++, I do it in this way:

char *buffer = "My house is nice";
string showMsgStr(buffer, buffer + 5);
std::cout << showMsgStr << std::endl;

Please note this is not safe because when passing the second argument I can go beyond the size of the string and generate a memory access violation. You have to implement your own check for avoiding this.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Don't have enough reputation to comment yet. Using Ubuntu and a simple:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Did NOT work for me.

For some reason curl.so was installed in a location not picked up by default. I checked the extension_dir in my php.ini and copied over the curl.so to my extension_dir

cp /usr/lib/php5/20090626/curl.so  /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626

Hope this helps someone, adjust your path locations accordingly.

Java maximum memory on Windows XP

Sun's JVM needs contiguous memory. So the maximal amount of available memory is dictated by memory fragmentation. Especially driver's dlls tend to fragment the memory, when loading into some predefined base address. So your hardware and its drivers determine how much memory you can get.

Two sources for this with statements from Sun engineers: forum blog

Maybe another JVM? Have you tried Harmony? I think they planned to allow non-continuous memory.

How to split one string into multiple variables in bash shell?

read with IFS are perfect for this:

$ IFS=- read var1 var2 <<< ABCDE-123456
$ echo "$var1"
ABCDE
$ echo "$var2"
123456

Edit:

Here is how you can read each individual character into array elements:

$ read -a foo <<<"$(echo "ABCDE-123456" | sed 's/./& /g')"

Dump the array:

$ declare -p foo
declare -a foo='([0]="A" [1]="B" [2]="C" [3]="D" [4]="E" [5]="-" [6]="1" [7]="2" [8]="3" [9]="4" [10]="5" [11]="6")'

If there are spaces in the string:

$ IFS=$'\v' read -a foo <<<"$(echo "ABCDE 123456" | sed 's/./&\v/g')"
$ declare -p foo
declare -a foo='([0]="A" [1]="B" [2]="C" [3]="D" [4]="E" [5]=" " [6]="1" [7]="2" [8]="3" [9]="4" [10]="5" [11]="6")'

What are the safe characters for making URLs?

There are two sets of characters you need to watch out for: reserved and unsafe.

The reserved characters are:

  • ampersand ("&")
  • dollar ("$")
  • plus sign ("+")
  • comma (",")
  • forward slash ("/")
  • colon (":")
  • semi-colon (";")
  • equals ("=")
  • question mark ("?")
  • 'At' symbol ("@")
  • pound ("#").

The characters generally considered unsafe are:

  • space (" ")
  • less than and greater than ("<>")
  • open and close brackets ("[]")
  • open and close braces ("{}")
  • pipe ("|")
  • backslash ("")
  • caret ("^")
  • percent ("%")

I may have forgotten one or more, which leads to me echoing Carl V's answer. In the long run you are probably better off using a "white list" of allowed characters and then encoding the string rather than trying to stay abreast of characters that are disallowed by servers and systems.

What is the difference between a process and a thread?

Both threads and processes are atomic units of OS resource allocation (i.e. there is a concurrency model describing how CPU time is divided between them, and the model of owning other OS resources). There is a difference in:

  • Shared resources (threads are sharing memory by definition, they do not own anything except stack and local variables; processes could also share memory, but there is a separate mechanism for that, maintained by OS)
  • Allocation space (kernel space for processes vs. user space for threads)

Greg Hewgill above was correct about the Erlang meaning of the word "process", and here there's a discussion of why Erlang could do processes lightweight.

laravel Eloquent ORM delete() method

At first,

You should know that destroy() is correct method for removing an entity directly via object or model and delete() can only be called in query builder.

In your case, You have not checked if record exists in database or not. Record can only be deleted if exists.

So, You can do it like follows.

$user = User::find($id);
    if($user){
        $destroy = User::destroy(2);
    }

The value or $destroy above will be 0 or 1 on fail or success respectively. So, you can alter the $data array like:

if ($destroy){

    $data=[
        'status'=>'1',
        'msg'=>'success'
    ];

}else{

    $data=[
        'status'=>'0',
        'msg'=>'fail'
    ];

}

Hope, you understand.

jQuery load more data on scroll

Have you heard about the jQuery Waypoint plugin.

Below is the simple way of calling a waypoints plugin and having the page load more Content once you reaches the bottom on scroll :

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $loading = $("<div class='loading'><p>Loading more items&hellip;</p></div>"),
    $footer = $('footer'),
    opts = {
        offset: '100%'
    };

    $footer.waypoint(function(event, direction) {
        $footer.waypoint('remove');
        $('body').append($loading);
        $.get($('.more a').attr('href'), function(data) {
            var $data = $(data);
            $('#container').append($data.find('.article'));
            $loading.detach();
            $('.more').replaceWith($data.find('.more'));
            $footer.waypoint(opts);
        });
    }, opts);
});

Can a shell script set environment variables of the calling shell?

Another workaround that I don't see mentioned is to write the variable value to a file.

I ran into a very similar issue where I wanted to be able to run the last set test (instead of all my tests). My first plan was to write one command for setting the env variable TESTCASE, and then have another command that would use this to run the test. Needless to say that I had the same exact issue as you did.

But then I came up with this simple hack:

First command ( testset ):

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
  echo $1 > ~/.TESTCASE
  echo "TESTCASE has been set to: $1"
else
  echo "Come again?"
fi

Second command (testrun ):

#!/bin/bash

TESTCASE=$(cat ~/.TESTCASE)
drush test-run $TESTCASE

                    jObj = new JSONObject(json.substring(2));
                } catch (Exception e2) {
                    Log.e("JSON Parser2", "Error parsing data [" + e2.getMessage()+"] "+json);
                    Log.e("JSON Parser2", "Error parsing data " + e2.toString());
                    try {

                        Log.e("JSON Parser3", "Error parsing data " + e3.toString());
                    }
                }

        }
    }

    // return JSON String
    return jObj;

How can I trigger a JavaScript event click

I'm quite ashamed that there are so many incorrect or undisclosed partial applicability.

The easiest way to do this is through Chrome or Opera (my examples will use Chrome) using the Console. Enter the following code into the console (generally in 1 line):

var l = document.getElementById('testLink');
for(var i=0; i<5; i++){
  l.click();
}

This will generate the required result

Swift 3: Display Image from URL

I use AlamofireImage it works fine for me for Loading url within ImageView, which also has Placeholder option.

func setImage (){

  let image = “https : //i.imgur.com/w5rkSIj.jpg”
  if let url = URL (string: image)
  {
    //Placeholder Image which was in your Local(Assets)
    let image = UIImage (named: “PlacehoderImageName”)
    imageViewName.af_setImage (withURL: url, placeholderImage: image)
  }

}

Note:- Dont forget to Add AlamofireImage in your Pod file as well as in Import Statment

Say Example,

pod 'AlamofireImage' within Your PodFile and in ViewController import AlamofireImage

Angular 2 select option (dropdown) - how to get the value on change so it can be used in a function?

Template/HTML File (component.ts)

<select>
 <option *ngFor="let v of values" [value]="v" (ngModelChange)="onChange($event)">  
    {{v.name}}
  </option>
</select>

Typescript File (component.ts)

values = [
  { id: 3432, name: "Recent" },
  { id: 3442, name: "Most Popular" },
  { id: 3352, name: "Rating" }
];

onChange(cityEvent){
    console.log(cityEvent); // It will display the select city data
}

(ngModelChange) is the @Output of the ngModel directive. It fires when the model changes. You cannot use this event without the ngModel directive

Getting attributes of a class

myfunc is an attribute of MyClass. That's how it's found when you run:

myinstance = MyClass()
myinstance.myfunc()

It looks for an attribute on myinstance named myfunc, doesn't find one, sees that myinstance is an instance of MyClass and looks it up there.

So the complete list of attributes for MyClass is:

>>> dir(MyClass)
['__doc__', '__module__', 'a', 'b', 'myfunc']

(Note that I'm using dir just as a quick and easy way to list the members of the class: it should only be used in an exploratory fashion, not in production code)

If you only want particular attributes, you'll need to filter this list using some criteria, because __doc__, __module__, and myfunc aren't special in any way, they're attributes in exactly the same way that a and b are.

I've never used the inspect module referred to by Matt and Borealid, but from a brief link it looks like it has tests to help you do this, but you'll need to write your own predicate function, since it seems what you want is roughly the attributes that don't pass the isroutine test and don't start and end with two underscores.

Also note: by using class MyClass(): in Python 2.7 you're using the wildly out of date old-style classes. Unless you're doing so deliberately for compatibility with extremely old libraries, you should be instead defining your class as class MyClass(object):. In Python 3 there are no "old-style" classes, and this behaviour is the default. However, using newstyle classes will get you a lot more automatically defined attributes:

>>> class MyClass(object):
        a = "12"
        b = "34"
        def myfunc(self):
            return self.a
>>> dir(MyClass)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'a', 'b', 'myfunc']

How to set DOM element as the first child?

I think you're looking for the .prepend function in jQuery. Example code:

$("#E").prepend("<p>Code goes here, yo!</p>");

Make the console wait for a user input to close

You can just use nextLine(); as pause

import java.util.Scanner
//
//
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

void Read()
{
     System.out.print("Press any key to continue . . . ");
     scan.nextLine();
}

However any button you press except Enter means you will have to press Enter after that but I found it better than scan.next();

What is a Python egg?

The .egg file is a distribution format for Python packages. It’s just an alternative to a source code distribution or Windows exe. But note that for pure Python, the .egg file is completely cross-platform.

The .egg file itself is essentially a .zip file. If you change the extension to “zip”, you can see that it will have folders inside the archive.

Also, if you have an .egg file, you can install it as a package using easy_install

Example: To create an .egg file for a directory say mymath which itself may have several python scripts, do the following step:

# setup.py
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
    name = "mymath",
    version = "0.1",
    packages = find_packages()
    )

Then, from the terminal do:

 $ python setup.py bdist_egg

This will generate lot of outputs, but when it’s completed you’ll see that you have three new folders: build, dist, and mymath.egg-info. The only folder that we care about is the dist folder where you'll find your .egg file, mymath-0.1-py3.5.egg with your default python (installation) version number(mine here: 3.5)

How do I print a list of "Build Settings" in Xcode project?

In case you would like to read/check your Target Build Settings in runtime using code, here is the way:

1) Add a Run Script:

cp ${PROJECT_FILE_PATH}/project.pbxproj ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/${EXECUTABLE_NAME}.app/BuildSetting.pbxproj 

It will copy the Target Build Settings file into your Main Bundle (will be called BuildSetting.pbxproj).

2) You can now check the contents of that file at any time in code:

NSString *thePathString = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"BuildSetting" ofType:@"pbxproj"];
NSDictionary *theDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:thePathString];

What is the printf format specifier for bool?

ANSI C99/C11 don't include an extra printf conversion specifier for bool.

But the GNU C library provides an API for adding custom specifiers.

An example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <printf.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

static int bool_arginfo(const struct printf_info *info, size_t n,
    int *argtypes, int *size)
{
  if (n) {
    argtypes[0] = PA_INT;
    *size = sizeof(bool);
  }
  return 1;
}
static int bool_printf(FILE *stream, const struct printf_info *info,
    const void *const *args)
{
  bool b =  *(const bool*)(args[0]);
  int r = fputs(b ? "true" : "false", stream);
  return r == EOF ? -1 : (b ? 4 : 5);
}
static int setup_bool_specifier()
{
  int r = register_printf_specifier('B', bool_printf, bool_arginfo);
  return r;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int r = setup_bool_specifier();
  if (r) return 1;
  bool b = argc > 1;
  r = printf("The result is: %B\n", b);
  printf("(written %d characters)\n", r);
  return 0;
}

Since it is a glibc extensions the GCC warns about that custom specifier:

$ gcc -Wall -g    main.c   -o main
main.c: In function ‘main’:
main.c:34:3: warning: unknown conversion type character ‘B’ in format [-Wformat=]
   r = printf("The result is: %B\n", b);
   ^
main.c:34:3: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]

Output:

$ ./main
The result is: false
(written 21 characters)
$ ./main 1
The result is: true
(written 20 characters)

Invoke(Delegate)

It means that the delegate you pass is executed on the thread that created the Control object (which is the UI thread).

You need to call this method when your application is multi-threaded and you want do some UI operation from a thread other than the UI thread, because if you just try to call a method on a Control from a different thread you'll get a System.InvalidOperationException.

Generate PDF from HTML using pdfMake in Angularjs

was implemented that in service-now platform. No need to use other library - makepdf have all you need!

that my html part (include preloder gif):

   <div class="pdf-preview" ng-init="generatePDF(true)">
    <object data="{{c.content}}" type="application/pdf" style="width:58vh;height:88vh;" ng-if="c.content" ></object>
    <div ng-if="!c.content">
      <img src="https://support.lenovo.com/esv4/images/loading.gif" width="50" height="50">
    </div>
  </div>

this is client script (js part)

$scope.generatePDF = function (preview) {
    docDefinition = {} //you rootine to generate pdf content
    //...
    if (preview) {
        pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).getDataUrl(function(dataURL) {
            c.content = dataURL;
        });
    }
}

So on page load I fire init function that generate pdf content and if required preview (set as true) result will be assigned to c.content variable. On html side object will be not shown until c.content will got a value, so that will show loading gif.

getting exception "IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState"

this worked for me... found this out on my own... hope it helps you!

1) do NOT have a global "static" FragmentManager / FragmentTransaction.

2) onCreate, ALWAYS initialize the FragmentManager again!

sample below :-

public abstract class FragmentController extends AnotherActivity{
protected FragmentManager fragmentManager;
protected FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction;
protected Bundle mSavedInstanceState;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mSavedInstanceState = savedInstanceState;
    setDefaultFragments();
}

protected void setDefaultFragments() {
    fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    //check if on orientation change.. do not re-add fragments!
    if(mSavedInstanceState == null) {
        //instantiate the fragment manager

        fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

        //the navigation fragments
        NavigationFragment navFrag = new NavigationFragment();
        ToolbarFragment toolFrag = new ToolbarFragment();

        fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.NavLayout, navFrag, "NavFrag");
        fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.ToolbarLayout, toolFrag, "ToolFrag");
        fragmentTransaction.commitAllowingStateLoss();

        //add own fragment to the nav (abstract method)
        setOwnFragment();
    }
}

Setting Windows PowerShell environment variables

Only the answers that push the value into the registry affect a permanent change (so the majority of answers on this thread, including the accepted answer, do not permanently affect the Path).

The following function works for both Path / PSModulePath and for User / System types. It will also add the new path to the current session by default.

function AddTo-Path {
    param ( 
        [string]$PathToAdd,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateSet('System','User')][string]$UserType,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateSet('Path','PSModulePath')][string]$PathType
    )

    # AddTo-Path "C:\XXX" "PSModulePath" 'System' 
    if ($UserType -eq "System" ) { $RegPropertyLocation = 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' }
    if ($UserType -eq "User"   ) { $RegPropertyLocation = 'HKCU:\Environment' } # also note: Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ format
    $PathOld = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $RegPropertyLocation -Name $PathType).$PathType
    "`n$UserType $PathType Before:`n$PathOld`n"
    $PathArray = $PathOld -Split ";" -replace "\\+$", ""
    if ($PathArray -notcontains $PathToAdd) {
        "$UserType $PathType Now:"   # ; sleep -Milliseconds 100   # Might need pause to prevent text being after Path output(!)
        $PathNew = "$PathOld;$PathToAdd"
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $RegPropertyLocation -Name $PathType -Value $PathNew
        Get-ItemProperty -Path $RegPropertyLocation -Name $PathType | select -ExpandProperty $PathType
        if ($PathType -eq "Path") { $env:Path += ";$PathToAdd" }                  # Add to Path also for this current session
        if ($PathType -eq "PSModulePath") { $env:PSModulePath += ";$PathToAdd" }  # Add to PSModulePath also for this current session
        "`n$PathToAdd has been added to the $UserType $PathType"
    }
    else {
        "'$PathToAdd' is already in the $UserType $PathType. Nothing to do."
    }
}

# Add "C:\XXX" to User Path (but only if not already present)
AddTo-Path "C:\XXX" "User" "Path"

# Just show the current status by putting an empty path
AddTo-Path "" "User" "Path"

How do I get the current username in Windows PowerShell?

I thought it would be valuable to summarize and compare the given answers.

If you want to access the environment variable:

(easier/shorter/memorable option)

  • [Environment]::UserName -- @ThomasBratt
  • $env:username -- @Eoin
  • whoami -- @galaktor

If you want to access the Windows access token:

(more dependable option)

  • [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name -- @MarkSeemann

If you want the name of the logged in user

(rather than the name of the user running the PowerShell instance)

  • $(Get-WMIObject -class Win32_ComputerSystem | select username).username -- @TwonOfAn on this other forum

Comparison

@Kevin Panko's comment on @Mark Seemann's answer deals with choosing one of the categories over the other:

[The Windows access token approach] is the most secure answer, because $env:USERNAME can be altered by the user, but this will not be fooled by doing that.

In short, the environment variable option is more succinct, and the Windows access token option is more dependable.

I've had to use @Mark Seemann's Windows access token approach in a PowerShell script that I was running from a C# application with impersonation.

The C# application is run with my user account, and it runs the PowerShell script as a service account. Because of a limitation of the way I'm running the PowerShell script from C#, the PowerShell instance uses my user account's environment variables, even though it is run as the service account user.

In this setup, the environment variable options return my account name, and the Windows access token option returns the service account name (which is what I wanted), and the logged in user option returns my account name.


Testing

Also, if you want to compare the options yourself, here is a script you can use to run a script as another user. You need to use the Get-Credential cmdlet to get a credential object, and then run this script with the script to run as another user as argument 1, and the credential object as argument 2.

Usage:

$cred = Get-Credential UserTo.RunAs
Run-AsUser.ps1 "whoami; pause" $cred
Run-AsUser.ps1 "[System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name; pause" $cred

Contents of Run-AsUser.ps1 script:

param(
  [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
  [string]$script,
  [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
  [System.Management.Automation.PsCredential]$cred
)

Start-Process -Credential $cred -FilePath 'powershell.exe' -ArgumentList 'noprofile','-Command',"$script"

PHP: Read Specific Line From File

You could try looping until the line you want, not the EOF, and resetting the variable to the line each time (not adding to it). In your case, the 2nd line is the EOF. (A for loop is probably more appropriate in my code below).

This way the entire file is not in the memory; the drawback is it takes time to go through the file up to the point you want.

<?php 
$myFile = "4-24-11.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$i = 0;
while ($i < 2)
 {
  $theData = fgets($fh);
  $i++
 }
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;
?>

How to use the start command in a batch file?

I think this other Stack Overflow answer would solve your problem: How do I run a bat file in the background from another bat file?

Basically, you use the /B and /C options:

START /B CMD /C CALL "foo.bat" [args [...]] >NUL 2>&1

Jquery each - Stop loop and return object

Because when you use a return statement inside an each loop, a "non-false" value will act as a continue, whereas false will act as a break. You will need to return false from the each function. Something like this:

function findXX(word) {
    var toReturn; 
    $.each(someArray, function(i) {
        $('body').append('-> '+i+'<br />');
        if(someArray[i] == word) {
            toReturn = someArray[i];
            return false;
        }   
    }); 
    return toReturn; 
}

From the docs:

We can break the $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.

How to make <div> fill <td> height

How to use ConfigurationManager

Go to tools >> nuget >> console and type:

Install-Package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager 

If you want a specific version:

Install-Package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager -Version 4.5.0

Your ConfigurationManager dll will now be imported and the code will begin to work.

Converting of Uri to String

String to Uri

Uri myUri = Uri.parse("https://www.google.com");

Uri to String

Uri uri;
String stringUri = uri.toString();

Declare global variables in Visual Studio 2010 and VB.NET

All of above can be avoided by simply declaring a friend value for runtime on the starting form.

Public Class Form1 
Friend sharevalue as string = "Boo"

Then access this variable from all forms simply using Form1.sharevalue

`export const` vs. `export default` in ES6

Minor note: Please consider that when you import from a default export, the naming is completely independent. This actually has an impact on refactorings.

Let's say you have a class Foo like this with a corresponding import:

export default class Foo { }

// The name 'Foo' could be anything, since it's just an
// Identifier for the default export
import Foo from './Foo'

Now if you refactor your Foo class to be Bar and also rename the file, most IDEs will NOT touch your import. So you will end up with this:

export default class Bar { }

// The name 'Foo' could be anything, since it's just an
// Identifier for the default export.
import Foo from './Bar'

Especially in TypeScript, I really appreciate named exports and the more reliable refactoring. The difference is just the lack of the default keyword and the curly braces. This btw also prevents you from making a typo in your import since you have type checking now.

export class Foo { }

//'Foo' needs to be the class name. The import will be refactored
//in case of a rename!
import { Foo } from './Foo'

Change the name of a key in dictionary

This will lowercase all your dict keys. Even if you have nested dict or lists. You can do something similar to apply other transformations.

def lowercase_keys(obj):
  if isinstance(obj, dict):
    obj = {key.lower(): value for key, value in obj.items()}
    for key, value in obj.items():         
      if isinstance(value, list):
        for idx, item in enumerate(value):
          value[idx] = lowercase_keys(item)
      obj[key] = lowercase_keys(value)
  return obj 
json_str = {"FOO": "BAR", "BAR": 123, "EMB_LIST": [{"FOO": "bar", "Bar": 123}, {"FOO": "bar", "Bar": 123}], "EMB_DICT": {"FOO": "BAR", "BAR": 123, "EMB_LIST": [{"FOO": "bar", "Bar": 123}, {"FOO": "bar", "Bar": 123}]}}

lowercase_keys(json_str)


Out[0]: {'foo': 'BAR',
 'bar': 123,
 'emb_list': [{'foo': 'bar', 'bar': 123}, {'foo': 'bar', 'bar': 123}],
 'emb_dict': {'foo': 'BAR',
  'bar': 123,
  'emb_list': [{'foo': 'bar', 'bar': 123}, {'foo': 'bar', 'bar': 123}]}}

Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<>

The []-operator is resolved to the access property this[sometype index], with implementation depending upon the Element-Collection.

An Enumerable-Interface declares a blueprint of what a Collection should look like in the first place.

Take this example to demonstrate the usefulness of clean Interface separation:

var ienu = "13;37".Split(';').Select(int.Parse);
//provides an WhereSelectArrayIterator
var inta = "13;37".Split(';').Select(int.Parse).ToArray()[0];
//>13
//inta.GetType(): System.Int32

Also look at the syntax of the []-operator:

  //example
public class SomeCollection{
public SomeCollection(){}

 private bool[] bools;

  public bool this[int index] {
     get {
        if ( index < 0 || index >= bools.Length ){
           //... Out of range index Exception
        }
        return bools[index];
     }
     set {
        bools[index] = value;
     }
  }
//...
}

How to send cookies in a post request with the Python Requests library?

If you want to pass the cookie to the browser, you have to append to the headers to be sent back. If you're using wsgi:

import requests
...


def application(environ, start_response):
    cookie = {'enwiki_session': '17ab96bd8ffbe8ca58a78657a918558'}
    response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]
    response_headers.append(('Set-Cookie',cookie))
...

    return [bytes(post_env),response_headers]

I'm successfully able to authenticate with Bugzilla and TWiki hosted on the same domain my python wsgi script is running by passing auth user/password to my python script and pass the cookies to the browser. This allows me to open the Bugzilla and TWiki pages in the same browser and be authenticated. I'm trying to do the same with SuiteCRM but i'm having trouble with SuiteCRM accepting the session cookies obtained from the python script even though it has successfully authenticated.

Can't create a docker image for COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder error

This may help someone else facing similar issue.

Instead of putting the file floating in the same directory as the Dockerfile, create a dir and place the file to copy and then try.

COPY mydir/test.json /home/test.json
COPY mydir/test.json /home/test.json

How can I delete (not disable) ActiveX add-ons in Internet Explorer (7 and 8 Beta 2)?

Actually the "Remote" option in Configuration Menu for Plug-In works by me (Win7 64, ie8 with all updates), however:

  1. You need administrator rights
  2. The plug-in should be disabled before pressing the remove button
  3. You need restart internet-explorer to see the changes.

Also the previous comment about browsing-history->view objects was also useful if plug-in was installed right now.

Enabling SSL with XAMPP

There is a better guide here for Windows:

https://shellcreeper.com/how-to-create-valid-ssl-in-localhost-for-xampp/

Basic steps:

  1. Create an SSL certificate for your local domain using this: See more details in the link above https://gist.github.com/turtlepod/3b8d8d0eef29de019951aa9d9dcba546 https://gist.github.com/turtlepod/e94928cddbfc46cfbaf8c3e5856577d0

  2. Install this cert in Windows (Trusted Root Certification Authorities) See more details in the link above

  3. Add the site in Windows hosts (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) E.g.: 127.0.0.1 site.test

  4. Add the site in XAMPP conf (C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf) E.g.:

     <VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
        ServerName site.test
        ServerAlias *.site.test
     </VirtualHost>
     <VirtualHost *:443>
        DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
        ServerName site.test

Declaring and using MySQL varchar variables

This works fine for me using MySQL 5.1.35:

DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `example`.`test` $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `example`.`test` ()
BEGIN

  DECLARE FOO varchar(7);
  DECLARE oldFOO varchar(7);
  SET FOO = '138';
  SET oldFOO = CONCAT('0', FOO);

  update mypermits
     set person = FOO
   where person = oldFOO;

END $$

DELIMITER ;

Table:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `example`.`mypermits`;
CREATE TABLE  `example`.`mypermits` (
  `person` varchar(7) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO mypermits VALUES ('0138');

CALL test()

How to set data attributes in HTML elements

Vanilla Javascript solution

HTML

<div id="mydiv" data-myval="10"></div>

JavaScript:

  • Using DOM's getAttribute() property

     var brand = mydiv.getAttribute("data-myval")//returns "10"
     mydiv.setAttribute("data-myval", "20")      //changes "data-myval" to "20"
     mydiv.removeAttribute("data-myval")         //removes "data-myval" attribute entirely
    
  • Using JavaScript's dataset property

    var myval = mydiv.dataset.myval     //returns "10"
    mydiv.dataset.myval = '20'          //changes "data-myval" to "20"
    mydiv.dataset.myval = null          //removes "data-myval" attribute
    

Delete all rows in an HTML table

If you do not want to remove th and just want to remove the rows inside, this is working perfectly.

var tb = document.getElementById('tableId');
  while(tb.rows.length > 1) {
  tb.deleteRow(1);
}

Syntax for creating a two-dimensional array in Java

We can declare a two dimensional array and directly store elements at the time of its declaration as:

int marks[][]={{50,60,55,67,70},{62,65,70,70,81},{72,66,77,80,69}};

Here int represents integer type elements stored into the array and the array name is 'marks'. int is the datatype for all the elements represented inside the "{" and "}" braces because an array is a collection of elements having the same data type.

Coming back to our statement written above: each row of elements should be written inside the curly braces. The rows and the elements in each row should be separated by a commas.

Now observe the statement: you can get there are 3 rows and 5 columns, so the JVM creates 3 * 5 = 15 blocks of memory. These blocks can be individually referred ta as:

marks[0][0]  marks[0][1]  marks[0][2]  marks[0][3]  marks[0][4]
marks[1][0]  marks[1][1]  marks[1][2]  marks[1][3]  marks[1][4]
marks[2][0]  marks[2][1]  marks[2][2]  marks[2][3]  marks[2][4]


NOTE:
If you want to store n elements then the array index starts from zero and ends at n-1. Another way of creating a two dimensional array is by declaring the array first and then allotting memory for it by using new operator.

int marks[][];           // declare marks array
marks = new int[3][5];   // allocate memory for storing 15 elements

By combining the above two we can write:

int marks[][] = new int[3][5];

Best way to simulate "group by" from bash?

The quick and dirty method is as follows:

cat ip_addresses | sort -n | uniq -c

If you need to use the values in bash you can assign the whole command to a bash variable and then loop through the results.

PS

If the sort command is omitted, you will not get the correct results as uniq only looks at successive identical lines.

Does a VPN Hide my Location on Android?

Your question can be conveniently divided into several parts:

Does a VPN hide location? Yes, he is capable of this. This is not about GPS determining your location. If you try to change the region via VPN in an application that requires GPS access, nothing will work. However, sites define your region differently. They get an IP address and see what country or region it belongs to. If you can change your IP address, you can change your region. This is exactly what VPNs can do.

How to hide location on Android? There is nothing difficult in figuring out how to set up a VPN on Android, but a couple of nuances still need to be highlighted. Let's start with the fact that not all Android VPNs are created equal. For example, VeePN outperforms many other services in terms of efficiency in circumventing restrictions. It has 2500+ VPN servers and a powerful IP and DNS leak protection system.

You can easily change the location of your Android device by using a VPN. Follow these steps for any device model (Samsung, Sony, Huawei, etc.):

  1. Download and install a trusted VPN.

  2. Install the VPN on your Android device.

  3. Open the application and connect to a server in a different country.

  4. Your Android location will now be successfully changed!

Is it legal? Yes, changing your location on Android is legal. Likewise, you can change VPN settings in Microsoft Edge on your PC, and all this is within the law. VPN allows you to change your IP address, safeguarding your privacy and protecting your actual location from being exposed. However, VPN laws may vary from country to country. There are restrictions in some regions.

Brief summary: Yes, you can change your region on Android and a VPN is a necessary assistant for this. It's simple, safe and legal. Today, VPN is the best way to change the region and unblock sites with regional restrictions.

Git Bash: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent

I would like to improve on the accepted answer

Downsides of using .bashrc with eval ssh-agent -s:

  1. Every git-bash will have it's own ssh-agent.exe process
  2. SSH key should be manually added every time you open git-bash

Here is my .bashrc that will eradicate above downsides

Put this .bashrc into your home directory (Windows 10: C:\Users\[username]\.bashrc) and it will be executed every time a new git-bash is opened and ssh-add will be working as a first class citizen

Read #comments to understand how it works

# Env vars used
# SSH_AUTH_SOCK - ssh-agent socket, should be set for ssh-add or git to be able to connect
# SSH_AGENT_PID - ssh-agent process id, should be set in order to check that it is running
# SSH_AGENT_ENV - env file path to share variable between instances of git-bash
SSH_AGENT_ENV=~/ssh-agent.env
# import env file and supress error message if it does not exist
. $SSH_AGENT_ENV 2> /dev/null

# if we know that ssh-agent was launched before ($SSH_AGENT_PID is set) and process with that pid is running 
if [ -n "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ] && ps -p $SSH_AGENT_PID > /dev/null 
then
  # we don't need to do anything, ssh-add and git will properly connect since we've imported env variables required
  echo "Connected to ssh-agent"
else   
  # start ssh-agent and save required vars for sharing in $SSH_AGENT_ENV file
  eval $(ssh-agent) > /dev/null
  echo export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=\"$SSH_AUTH_SOCK\" > $SSH_AGENT_ENV
  echo export SSH_AGENT_PID=$SSH_AGENT_PID >> $SSH_AGENT_ENV
  echo "Started ssh-agent"
fi

Also this script uses a little trick to ensure that provided environment variables are shared between git-bash instances by saving them into an .env file.

Configuring Hibernate logging using Log4j XML config file?

Loki's answer points to the Hibernate 3 docs and provides good information, but I was still not getting the results I expected.

Much thrashing, waving of arms and general dead mouse runs finally landed me my cheese.

Because Hibernate 3 is using Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) (per the docs), if you are relying on Log4j 1.2 you will also need the slf4j-log4j12-1.5.10.jar if you are wanting to fully configure Hibernate logging with a log4j configuration file. Hope this helps the next guy.

Is it possible to set a custom font for entire of application?

While this would not work for an entire application, it would work for an Activity and could be re-used for any other Activity. I've updated my code thanks to @FR073N to support other Views. I'm not sure about issues with Buttons, RadioGroups, etc. because those classes all extend TextView so they should work just fine. I added a boolean conditional for using reflection because it seems very hackish and might notably compromise performance.

Note: as pointed out, this will not work for dynamic content! For that, it's possible to call this method with say an onCreateView or getView method, but requires additional effort.

/**
 * Recursively sets a {@link Typeface} to all
 * {@link TextView}s in a {@link ViewGroup}.
 */
public static final void setAppFont(ViewGroup mContainer, Typeface mFont, boolean reflect)
{
    if (mContainer == null || mFont == null) return;

    final int mCount = mContainer.getChildCount();

    // Loop through all of the children.
    for (int i = 0; i < mCount; ++i)
    {
        final View mChild = mContainer.getChildAt(i);
        if (mChild instanceof TextView)
        {
            // Set the font if it is a TextView.
            ((TextView) mChild).setTypeface(mFont);
        }
        else if (mChild instanceof ViewGroup)
        {
            // Recursively attempt another ViewGroup.
            setAppFont((ViewGroup) mChild, mFont);
        }
        else if (reflect)
        {
            try {
                Method mSetTypeface = mChild.getClass().getMethod("setTypeface", Typeface.class);
                mSetTypeface.invoke(mChild, mFont); 
            } catch (Exception e) { /* Do something... */ }
        }
    }
}

Then to use it you would do something like this:

final Typeface mFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/MyFont.ttf"); 
final ViewGroup mContainer = (ViewGroup) findViewById(
android.R.id.content).getRootView();
HomeActivity.setAppFont(mContainer, mFont);

Hope that helps.

Session only cookies with Javascript

Use the below code for a setup session cookie, it will work until browser close. (make sure not close tab)

function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
    var d = new Date();
    d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
    var expires = "expires="+ d.toUTCString();
    document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
  }
  function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
    var ca = decodedCookie.split(';');
    for(var i = 0; i <ca.length; i++) {
      var c = ca[i];
      while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
        c = c.substring(1);
      }
      if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
        return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
      }
    }
    return false;
  }
  
  
  if(getCookie("KoiMilGaya")) {
    //alert('found'); 
    // Cookie found. Display any text like repeat user. // reload, other page visit, close tab and open again.. 
  } else {
    //alert('nothing');
    // Display popup or anthing here. it shows on first visit only.  
    // this will load again when user closer browser and open again. 
    setCookie('KoiMilGaya','1');
  }

How to cache Google map tiles for offline usage?

You can use Open Street Map : you will find dozens of different layers and map types, and this is absolutely free. You can download all the map tiles you want. And of course, as anyone can enhance the map, it displays more information than Google's maps. If you need help, you can ask the community which is also very active.

Disable JavaScript error in WebBrowser control

None of the above solutions were suitable for my scenario, handling .Navigated and .FileDownload events seemed like a good fit but accessing the WebBrowser.Document property threw an UnauthorizedAccessException which is caused by cross frame scripting security (our web content contains frames - all on the same domain/address but frames have their own security holes that are being blocked).

Clear MySQL query cache without restarting server

I believe you can use...

RESET QUERY CACHE;

...if the user you're running as has reload rights. Alternatively, you can defragment the query cache via...

FLUSH QUERY CACHE;

See the Query Cache Status and Maintenance section of the MySQL manual for more information.

sort dict by value python

To get the values use

sorted(data.values())

To get the matching keys, use a key function

sorted(data, key=data.get)

To get a list of tuples ordered by value

sorted(data.items(), key=lambda x:x[1])

Related: see the discussion here: Dictionaries are ordered in Python 3.6+

Git push: "fatal 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository - fatal Could not read from remote repository."

This is the way I updated the master branch

This kind of error occurs commonly after deleting the initial code on your project

So, go ahead, first of all, verify the actual remote version, then remove the origin add the comment, and copy the repo URL into the project files.

$ git remote -v
$ git remote rm origin
$ git commit -m "your commit"
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git
$ git push -f origin master

Print values for multiple variables on the same line from within a for-loop

Try out cat and sprintf in your for loop.

eg.

cat(sprintf("\"%f\" \"%f\"\n", df$r, df$interest))

The target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context

The SSPI context error definitely indicates authentication is being attempted using Kerberos.

Since Kerberos authentication SQL Server's Windows Authentication relies on Active Directory, which requires a thrusted relationship between your computer and your network domain controller, you should start by validating that relationship.

You can quickly check that relationship, thru the following Powershell command Test-ComputerSecureChannel.

Test-ComputerSecureChannel -verbose

enter image description here

If it returns False, you must repair your computer Active Directory secure channel, since without it no domain credencials validation is possible outside your computer.

You can repair your Computer Secure Channel, thru the following Powershell command:

Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Repair

Check the security event logs, if you are using kerberos you should see logon attempts with authentication package: Kerberos.

The NTLM authentication may be failing and so a kerberos authentication attempt is being made. You might also see an NTLM logon attempt failure in your security event log?

You can turn on kerberos event logging in dev to try to debug why the kerberos is failing, although it is very verbose.

Microsoft's Kerberos Configuration Manager for SQL Server may help you quickly diagnose and fix this issue.

How to call base.base.method()?

In cases where you do not have access to the derived class source, but need all the source of the derived class besides the current method, then I would recommended you should also do a derived class and call the implementation of the derived class.

Here is an example:

//No access to the source of the following classes
public class Base
{
     public virtual void method1(){ Console.WriteLine("In Base");}
}
public class Derived : Base
{
     public override void method1(){ Console.WriteLine("In Derived");}
     public void method2(){ Console.WriteLine("Some important method in Derived");}
}

//Here should go your classes
//First do your own derived class
public class MyDerived : Base
{         
}

//Then derive from the derived class 
//and call the bass class implementation via your derived class
public class specialDerived : Derived
{
     public override void method1()
     { 
          MyDerived md = new MyDerived();
          //This is actually the base.base class implementation
          MyDerived.method1();  
     }         
}

How to move the cursor word by word in the OS X Terminal

Here's how you can do it

By default, the Terminal has these shortcuts to move (left and right) word-by-word:

  • esc+B (left)
  • esc+F (right)

You can configure alt+ and to generate those sequences for you:

  • Open Terminal preferences (cmd+,);
  • At Settings tab, select Keyboard and double-click ? ? if it's there, or add it if it's not.
  • Set the modifier as desired, and type the shortcut key in the box: esc+B, generating the text \033b (you can't type this text manually).
  • Repeat for word-right (esc+F becomes \033f)

Alternatively, you can refer to this blog post over at textmate:

Is it possible to set the stacking order of pseudo-elements below their parent element?

Speaking with regard to the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/zindex.html), since a.someSelector is positioned it creates a new stacking context that its children can't break out of. Leave a.someSelector unpositioned and then child a.someSelector:after may be positioned in the same context as a.someSelector.
