How do I access call log for android?
This is method used to get the Call log. Just put this method in you class and get the List of the Call Log.
Check out this
private String getCallDetails() {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, null);
int number = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.NUMBER);
int type = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.TYPE);
int date = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DATE);
int duration = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DURATION);
sb.append("Call Details :");
while (managedCursor.moveToNext()) {
String phNumber = managedCursor.getString(number);
String callType = managedCursor.getString(type);
String callDate = managedCursor.getString(date);
Date callDayTime = new Date(Long.valueOf(callDate));
String callDuration = managedCursor.getString(duration);
String dir = null;
int dircode = Integer.parseInt(callType);
switch (dircode) {
case CallLog.Calls.OUTGOING_TYPE:
dir = "OUTGOING";
break;
case CallLog.Calls.INCOMING_TYPE:
dir = "INCOMING";
break;
case CallLog.Calls.MISSED_TYPE:
dir = "MISSED";
break;
}
sb.append("\nPhone Number:--- " + phNumber + " \nCall Type:--- "
+ dir + " \nCall Date:--- " + callDayTime
+ " \nCall duration in sec :--- " + callDuration);
sb.append("\n----------------------------------");
}
managedCursor.close();
return sb.toString();
}
the output looks
NameError: name 'python' is not defined
It looks like you are trying to start the Python interpreter by running the command python
.
However the interpreter is already started. It is interpreting python
as a name of a variable, and that name is not defined.
Try this instead and you should hopefully see that your Python installation is working as expected:
print("Hello world!")
Change SQLite database mode to read-write
I had this problem today, too.
It was caused by ActiveSync on Windows Mobile - the folder I was working in was synced so the AS process grabbed the DB file from time to time causing this error.
CSS rule to apply only if element has BOTH classes
Below applies to all tags with the following two classes
.abc.xyz {
width: 200px !important;
}
applies to div tags with the following two classes
div.abc.xyz {
width: 200px !important;
}
If you wanted to modify this using jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div.abc.xyz").width("200px");
});
TCP vs UDP on video stream
but during a soccer-match, or a
concert what does it matter if you are
a single minute behind the stream?
To some soccer fans, quite a bit. It has been remarked that delays of even a few seconds present in digital video streams due to encoding (or whatever) can be very annoying when, during high-profile events such as world cup matches, you can hear the cheers and groans from the guys next door (who are watching an undelyed analog program) before you get to see the game moves that caused them.
I think that to someone caring a lot about sports (and those are the biggest group of paying customers for digital TV, at least here in Germany), being a minute behind in a live video stream would be completely unacceptable (As in, they'd switch to your competitor where this doesn't happen).
CSS: Force float to do a whole new line
This is an old post and the links are no longer valid but because it came up early in a search I was doing I thought I should comment to help others understand the problem better.
By using float you are asking the browser to arrange your controls automatically. It responds by wrapping when the controls don't fit the width for their specified float arrangement. float:left, float:right or clear:left,clear:right,clear:both.
So if you want to force a bunch of float:left items to float uniformly into one left column then you need to make the browser decide to wrap/unwrap them at the same width. Because you don't want to do any scripting you can wrap all of the controls you want to float together in a single div. You would want to add a new wrapping div with a class like:
.LeftImages{
float:left;
}
html
<div class="LeftImages">
<img...>
<img...>
</div>
This div will automatically adjust to the width of the largest image and all the images will be floated left with the div all the time (no wrapping).
If you still want them to wrap you can give the div a width like width:30% and each of the images the float:left; style. Rather than adjust to the largest image it will vary in size and allow the contained images to wrap.
Reset textbox value in javascript
this is might be a possible solution
void 0 != document.getElementById("ad") && (document.getElementById("ad").onclick =function(){
var a = $("#client_id").val();
var b = $("#contact").val();
var c = $("#message").val();
var Qdata = { client_id: a, contact:b, message:c }
var respo='';
$("#message").html('');
return $.ajax({
url: applicationPath ,
type: "POST",
data: Qdata,
success: function(e) {
$("#mcg").html("msg send successfully");
}
})
});
Currency format for display
This kind of functionality is built in.
When using a decimal you can use a format string "C" or "c".
decimal dec = 123.00M;
string uk = dec.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-GB")); // uk holds "£123.00"
string us = dec.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-US")); // us holds "$123.00"
Detect touch press vs long press vs movement?
I was just dealing with this mess after wanting longclick to not end with a click event.
Here's what I did.
public boolean onLongClick(View arg0) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "long click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
longClicked = true;
return false;
}
public void onClick(View arg0) {
if(!longClicked){
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
longClick = false; // sets the clickability enabled
}
boolean longClicked = false;
It's a bit of a hack but it works.
Angular 2 two way binding using ngModel is not working
instead of ng-model you can use this code:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `<input #box (keyup)="0">
<p>{{box.value}}</p>`,
})
export class AppComponent {}
inside your app.component.ts
What to gitignore from the .idea folder?
While maintaining the proper .gitignore
file is helpful, I found this alternate approach is way cleaner and easier to use.
- Create dummy folder
my_project
and inside that git clone my_real_project
the actual project repo.
- Now while opening the project in IDE (Intellij/Pycharm) open the folder
my_project
and mark my_project/my_real_project
as the VCS root.
- You can see
my_project/.idea
wouldn't pollute your git repo because it happily lives outside the git repo which is what you want. This way your .gitignore
files stays clean as well.
This approach works better due to the below reasons.
1 - .gitignore
file stays clean and we don't have to insert lines related to JetBrains products, that file is better used for binaries and libraries and autogen contents.
2 - Intellij keeps updating their projects and the files inside .idea
keep changing every significant release from JB. What this means is we have to keep updating our .gitignore
accordingly which is not an ideal use of time.
3 - Intellij has the flawed pattern here, most editors Atom, VS Code, Eclipse... nobody stores their IDE contents right inside project root. JB shouldn't be an exception either. It's the onus of Jetbrains to keep those files tracked outside project root. They have to refrain from polluting VCS root. This approach does just that. The .idea
folder is kept outside the PROJECT_ROOT
Hope this helps.
Check if a variable exists in a list in Bash
Matvey is right, but you should quote $x and consider any kind of "spaces" (e.g. new line) with
[[ $list =~ (^|[[:space:]])"$x"($|[[:space:]]) ]] && echo 'yes' || echo 'no'
so, i.e.
# list_include_item "10 11 12" "2"
function list_include_item {
local list="$1"
local item="$2"
if [[ $list =~ (^|[[:space:]])"$item"($|[[:space:]]) ]] ; then
# yes, list include item
result=0
else
result=1
fi
return $result
}
end then
`list_include_item "10 11 12" "12"` && echo "yes" || echo "no"
or
if `list_include_item "10 11 12" "1"` ; then
echo "yes"
else
echo "no"
fi
Note that you must use ""
in case of variables:
`list_include_item "$my_list" "$my_item"` && echo "yes" || echo "no"
How do I add a margin between bootstrap columns without wrapping
I was facing the same issue; and the following worked well for me. Hope this helps someone landing here:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="col-md-12">
Set room heater temperature
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="col-md-12">
Set room heater temperature
</div>
</div>
</div>
This will automatically render some space between the 2 divs.
jQuery dialog popup
It's quite simple, first HTML must be added:
<div id="dialog"></div>
Then, it must be initialized:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( document ).ready( function() {
jQuery( '#dialog' ).dialog( { 'autoOpen': false } );
});
</script>
After this you can show it by code:
jQuery( '#dialog' ).dialog( 'open' );
Add a row number to result set of a SQL query
SELECT
t.A,
t.B,
t.C,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS number
FROM tableZ AS t
See working example at SQLFiddle
Of course, you may want to define the row-numbering order – if so, just swap OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1))
for, e.g., OVER (ORDER BY t.C)
, like in a normal ORDER BY
clause.

Filter an array using a formula (without VBA)
Today, in Office 365, Excel has so called 'array functions'.
The filter
function does exactly what you want. No need to use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
anymore, a simple enter
will suffice.
In Office 365, your problem would be simply solved by using:
=VLOOKUP(A3, FILTER(A2:C6, B2:B6="B"), 3, FALSE)
Reading and writing to serial port in C on Linux
I've solved my problems, so I post here the correct code in case someone needs similar stuff.
Open Port
int USB = open( "/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR| O_NOCTTY );
Set parameters
struct termios tty;
struct termios tty_old;
memset (&tty, 0, sizeof tty);
/* Error Handling */
if ( tcgetattr ( USB, &tty ) != 0 ) {
std::cout << "Error " << errno << " from tcgetattr: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
}
/* Save old tty parameters */
tty_old = tty;
/* Set Baud Rate */
cfsetospeed (&tty, (speed_t)B9600);
cfsetispeed (&tty, (speed_t)B9600);
/* Setting other Port Stuff */
tty.c_cflag &= ~PARENB; // Make 8n1
tty.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB;
tty.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
tty.c_cflag |= CS8;
tty.c_cflag &= ~CRTSCTS; // no flow control
tty.c_cc[VMIN] = 1; // read doesn't block
tty.c_cc[VTIME] = 5; // 0.5 seconds read timeout
tty.c_cflag |= CREAD | CLOCAL; // turn on READ & ignore ctrl lines
/* Make raw */
cfmakeraw(&tty);
/* Flush Port, then applies attributes */
tcflush( USB, TCIFLUSH );
if ( tcsetattr ( USB, TCSANOW, &tty ) != 0) {
std::cout << "Error " << errno << " from tcsetattr" << std::endl;
}
Write
unsigned char cmd[] = "INIT \r";
int n_written = 0,
spot = 0;
do {
n_written = write( USB, &cmd[spot], 1 );
spot += n_written;
} while (cmd[spot-1] != '\r' && n_written > 0);
It was definitely not necessary to write byte per byte, also int n_written = write( USB, cmd, sizeof(cmd) -1)
worked fine.
At last, read:
int n = 0,
spot = 0;
char buf = '\0';
/* Whole response*/
char response[1024];
memset(response, '\0', sizeof response);
do {
n = read( USB, &buf, 1 );
sprintf( &response[spot], "%c", buf );
spot += n;
} while( buf != '\r' && n > 0);
if (n < 0) {
std::cout << "Error reading: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
}
else if (n == 0) {
std::cout << "Read nothing!" << std::endl;
}
else {
std::cout << "Response: " << response << std::endl;
}
This one worked for me. Thank you all!
How to add a second css class with a conditional value in razor MVC 4
I believe that there can still be and valid logic on views. But for this kind of things I agree with @BigMike, it is better placed on the model. Having said that the problem can be solved in three ways:
Your answer (assuming this works, I haven't tried this):
<div class="details @(@Model.Details.Count > 0 ? "show" : "hide")">
Second option:
@if (Model.Details.Count > 0) {
<div class="details show">
}
else {
<div class="details hide">
}
Third option:
<div class="@("details " + (Model.Details.Count>0 ? "show" : "hide"))">
What's the net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR about?
I'm not convinced this was the issue but through cPanel I'd noticed the PHP version was on 5.6 and changing it to 7.3 seemed to fix it. This was for a WordPress site. I noticed I could access images and generic PHP files but loading WordPress itself caused the error.
What's the best way to parse command line arguments?
Lightweight command line argument defaults
Although argparse
is great and is the right answer for fully documented command line switches and advanced features, you can use function argument defaults to handles straightforward positional arguments very simply.
import sys
def get_args(name='default', first='a', second=2):
return first, int(second)
first, second = get_args(*sys.argv)
print first, second
The 'name' argument captures the script name and is not used. Test output looks like this:
> ./test.py
a 2
> ./test.py A
A 2
> ./test.py A 20
A 20
For simple scripts where I just want some default values, I find this quite sufficient. You might also want to include some type coercion in the return values or command line values will all be strings.
Resizing Images in VB.NET
Dim x As Integer = 0
Dim y As Integer = 0
Dim k = 0
Dim l = 0
Dim bm As New Bitmap(p1.Image)
Dim om As New Bitmap(p1.Image.Width, p1.Image.Height)
Dim r, g, b As Byte
Do While x < bm.Width - 1
y = 0
l = 0
Do While y < bm.Height - 1
r = 255 - bm.GetPixel(x, y).R
g = 255 - bm.GetPixel(x, y).G
b = 255 - bm.GetPixel(x, y).B
om.SetPixel(k, l, Color.FromArgb(r, g, b))
y += 3
l += 1
Loop
x += 3
k += 1
Loop
p2.Image = om
Second line in li starts under the bullet after CSS-reset
The li
tag has a property called list-style-position
. This makes your bullets inside or outside the list. On default, it’s set to inside
. That makes your text wrap around it. If you set it to outside
, the text of your li
tags will be aligned.
The downside of that is that your bullets won't be aligned with the text outside the ul
. If you want to align it with the other text you can use a margin.
ul li {
/*
* We want the bullets outside of the list,
* so the text is aligned. Now the actual bullet
* is outside of the list’s container
*/
list-style-position: outside;
/*
* Because the bullet is outside of the list’s
* container, indent the list entirely
*/
margin-left: 1em;
}
Edit 15th of March, 2014
Seeing people are still coming in from Google, I felt like the original answer could use some improvement
- Changed the code block to provide just the solution
- Changed the indentation unit to
em
’s
- Each property is applied to the
ul
element
- Good comments :)
conversion from infix to prefix
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunting-yard_algorithm
The shunting yard algorithm can also be applied to produce prefix
notation (also known as polish notation). To do this one would simply
start from the end of a string of tokens to be parsed and work
backwards, reverse the output queue (therefore making the output queue
an output stack), and flip the left and right parenthesis behavior
(remembering that the now-left parenthesis behavior should pop until
it finds a now-right parenthesis).
from collections import deque
def convertToPN(expression):
precedence = {}
precedence["*"] = precedence["/"] = 3
precedence["+"] = precedence["-"] = 2
precedence[")"] = 1
stack = []
result = deque([])
for token in expression[::-1]:
if token == ')':
stack.append(token)
elif token == '(':
while stack:
t = stack.pop()
if t == ")": break
result.appendleft(t)
elif token not in precedence:
result.appendleft(token)
else:
# XXX: associativity should be considered here
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_associativity
while stack and precedence[stack[-1]] > precedence[token]:
result.appendleft(stack.pop())
stack.append(token)
while stack:
result.appendleft(stack.pop())
return list(result)
expression = "(a - b) / c * (d + e - f / g)".replace(" ", "")

Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'
One other thing that affected me: If you have multiple test devices, make sure you are making changes to the layout used by the device. In my case, I spent a while making changes to xmls in the "layout" directory until I discovered that my larger phone (which I switched to halfway through testing) was using xmls in the "layout-sw360dp" directory. Grrr!
Utils to read resource text file to String (Java)
I like akosicki's answer with the Stupid Scanner Trick. It's the simplest I see without external dependencies that works in Java 8 (and in fact all the way back to Java 5). Here's an even simpler answer if you can use Java 9 or higher (since InputStream.readAllBytes()
was added at Java 9):
String text = new String(AppropriateClass.class.getResourceAsStream("foo.txt").readAllBytes());
How can I convert an Integer to localized month name in Java?
Apparently in Android 2.2 there is a bug with SimpleDateFormat.
In order to use month names you have to define them yourself in your resources:
<string-array name="month_names">
<item>January</item>
<item>February</item>
<item>March</item>
<item>April</item>
<item>May</item>
<item>June</item>
<item>July</item>
<item>August</item>
<item>September</item>
<item>October</item>
<item>November</item>
<item>December</item>
</string-array>
And then use them in your code like this:
/**
* Get the month name of a Date. e.g. January for the Date 2011-01-01
*
* @param date
* @return e.g. "January"
*/
public static String getMonthName(Context context, Date date) {
/*
* Android 2.2 has a bug in SimpleDateFormat. Can't use "MMMM" for
* getting the Month name for the given Locale. Thus relying on own
* values from string resources
*/
String result = "";
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
try {
result = context.getResources().getStringArray(R.array.month_names)[month];
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
result = Integer.toString(month);
}
return result;
}
Understanding Python super() with __init__() methods
Just a heads up... with Python 2.7, and I believe ever since super()
was introduced in version 2.2, you can only call super()
if one of the parents inherit from a class that eventually inherits object
(new-style classes).
Personally, as for python 2.7 code, I'm going to continue using BaseClassName.__init__(self, args)
until I actually get the advantage of using super()
.

Pivoting rows into columns dynamically in Oracle
To deal with situations where there are a possibility of multiple values (v in your example), I use PIVOT
and LISTAGG
:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT id, k, v
FROM _kv
)
PIVOT
(
LISTAGG(v ,',')
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY k)
FOR k IN ('name', 'age','gender','status')
)
ORDER BY id;
Since you want dynamic values, use dynamic SQL and pass in the values determined by running a select on the table data before calling the pivot statement.
Return JSON for ResponseEntity<String>
The root of the problem is that Spring (via ResponseEntity, RestController, and/or ResponseBody) will use the contents of the string as the raw response value, rather than treating the string as JSON value to be encoded. This is true even when the controller method uses produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE
, as in the question here.
It's essentially like the difference between the following:
// yields: This is a String
System.out.println("This is a String");
// yields: "This is a String"
System.out.println("\"This is a String\"");
The first output cannot be parsed as JSON, but the second output can.
Something like '"'+myString+'"'
is probably not a good idea however, as that won't handle proper escaping of double-quotes within the string and will not produce valid JSON for any such string.
One way to handle this would be to embed your string inside an object or list, so that you're not passing a raw string to Spring. However, that changes the format of your output, and really there's no good reason not to be able to return a properly-encoded JSON string if that's what you want to do. If that's what you want, the best way to handle it is via a JSON formatter such as Json or Google Gson. Here's how it might look with Gson:
import com.google.gson.Gson;
@RestController
public class MyController
private static final Gson gson = new Gson();
@RequestMapping(value = "so", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
ResponseEntity<String> so() {
return ResponseEntity.ok(gson.toJson("This is a String"));
}
}
Recyclerview inside ScrollView not scrolling smoothly
I had similar issues (I tried to create a nested RecyclerViews something like Google PlayStore design). The best way to deal with this is by subclassing the child RecyclerViews and overriding the 'onInterceptTouchEvent' and 'onTouchEvent' methods. This way you get complete control of how those events behave and eventually scrolling.
Check if a file exists or not in Windows PowerShell?
cls
$exactadminfile = "C:\temp\files\admin" #First folder to check the file
$userfile = "C:\temp\files\user" #Second folder to check the file
$filenames=Get-Content "C:\temp\files\files-to-watch.txt" #Reading the names of the files to test the existance in one of the above locations
foreach ($filename in $filenames) {
if (!(Test-Path $exactadminfile\$filename) -and !(Test-Path $userfile\$filename)) { #if the file is not there in either of the folder
Write-Warning "$filename absent from both locations"
} else {
Write-Host " $filename File is there in one or both Locations" #if file exists there at both locations or at least in one location
}
}
Closing Applications
for me best solotion this is
Thread.CurrentThread.Abort();
and force close app.
ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError when creating new user
I guess you are using Rails 4. If so, the needed parameters must be marked as required.
You might want to do it like this:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def create
@user = User.new(user_params)
# ...
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:username, :email, :password, :salt, :encrypted_password)
end
end
How to do encryption using AES in Openssl
Check out this link it has a example code to encrypt/decrypt data using AES256CBC using EVP API.
https://github.com/saju/misc/blob/master/misc/openssl_aes.c
Also you can check the use of AES256 CBC in a detailed open source project developed by me at https://github.com/llubu/mpro
The code is detailed enough with comments and if you still need much explanation about the API itself i suggest check out this book Network Security with OpenSSL by Viega/Messier/Chandra (google it you will easily find a pdf of this..) read chapter 6 which is specific to symmetric ciphers using EVP API.. This helped me a lot actually understanding the reasons behind using various functions and structures of EVP.
and if you want to dive deep into the Openssl crypto library, i suggest download the code from the openssl website (the version installed on your machine) and then look in the implementation of EVP and aeh api implementation.
One more suggestion from the code you posted above i see you are using the api from aes.h
instead use EVP. Check out the reason for doing this here OpenSSL using EVP vs. algorithm API for symmetric crypto nicely explained by Daniel in one of the question asked by me..
How to show data in a table by using psql command line interface?
Newer versions: (from 8.4 - mentioned in release notes)
TABLE mytablename;
Longer but works on all versions:
SELECT * FROM mytablename;
You may wish to use \x
first if it's a wide table, for readability.
For long data:
SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 10;
or similar.
For wide data (big rows), in the psql
command line client, it's useful to use \x
to show the rows in key/value form instead of tabulated, e.g.
\x
SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 10;
Note that in all cases the semicolon at the end is important.
Python: Best way to add to sys.path relative to the current running script
If you don't want to edit each file
- Install you library like a normal python libray
or
- Set
PYTHONPATH
to your lib
or if you are willing to add a single line to each file, add a import statement at top e.g.
import import_my_lib
keep import_my_lib.py
in bin and import_my_lib
can correctly set the python path to whatever lib
you want
What's the difference between nohup and ampersand
Using the ampersand (&) will run the command in a child process (child to the current bash session). However, when you exit the session, all child processes will be killed.
using nohup + ampersand (&) will do the same thing, except that when the session ends, the parent of the child process will be changed to "1" which is the "init" process, thus preserving the child from being killed.
Are nested try/except blocks in Python a good programming practice?
If try-except-finally is nested inside a finally block, the result from "child" finally is preserved. I have not found an official explanation yet, but the following code snippet shows this behavior in Python 3.6.
def f2():
try:
a = 4
raise SyntaxError
except SyntaxError as se:
print('log SE')
raise se from None
finally:
try:
raise ValueError
except ValueError as ve:
a = 5
print('log VE')
raise ve from None
finally:
return 6
return a
In [1]: f2()
log SE
log VE
Out[2]: 6
Using Excel as front end to Access database (with VBA)
It really depends on the application. For a normal project, I would recommend using only Access, but sometimes, the needs are specific and an Excel spreadsheet might be more appropriate.
For instance, in a project I had to develop for a former employer, the need was to give access to different persons on forms(pre-filled with some data, different for each person) and have them complete them, then re-import the data.
Since the form was using heavy number crunching, it made more sense to build it in Excel.
The Excel workbooks for the different persons were built from a template using VBA, then saved in a proper location, with the access rights on the folder.
All workbooks were attached as External tables to the workbooks, using named ranges. I could then query the workbooks from the Access Application. All administrative stuff was made from the db, but the end users only had access to their respective workbook.
Developping an Excel/Access application this way was a pleasant experience and the UI was more user-friendly than it would have been using Access.
I have to say that in this case, it would have taken a lot more time doing it in Access than it took using Excel. Also, the Application Object Model seems better though in Excel than in Access.
If you plan to use Excel as a front-end, do not forget to lock all the cells, but the editable ones and don't be affraid to use masked rows and columnns (to construct output tables for the access database, to perform intermediate calculations, etc).
You should also turn off autocalculation while importing data.
Using multiple case statements in select query
There are two ways to write case statements, you seem to be using a combination of the two
case a.updatedDate
when 1760 then 'Entered on' + a.updatedDate
when 1710 then 'Viewed on' + a.updatedDate
else 'Last Updated on' + a.updateDate
end
or
case
when a.updatedDate = 1760 then 'Entered on' + a.updatedDate
when a.updatedDate = 1710 then 'Viewed on' + a.updatedDate
else 'Last Updated on' + a.updateDate
end
are equivalent. They may not work because you may need to convert date types to varchars to append them to other varchars.
What's the best way to add a full screen background image in React Native
(This has been deprecated now you can use ImageBackground)
This is how I've done it. The main deal was getting rid of the static fixed sizes.
class ReactStrap extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Image source={require('image!background')} style={styles.container}>
... Your Content ...
</Image>
);
}
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
// remove width and height to override fixed static size
width: null,
height: null,
}
};
HashMaps and Null values?
It seems that you are trying to call a method with a Map parameter.
So, to call with an empty person name the right approach should be
HashMap<String, String> options = new HashMap<String, String>();
options.put("name", null);
Person person = sample.searchPerson(options);
Or you can do it like this
HashMap<String, String> options = new HashMap<String, String>();
Person person = sample.searchPerson(options);
Using
Person person = sample.searchPerson(null);
Could get you a null pointer exception. It all depends on the implementation of searchPerson() method.
What is the default lifetime of a session?
The default in the php.ini for the session.gc_maxlifetime
directive (the "gc" is for garbage collection) is 1440 seconds or 24 minutes. See the Session Runtime Configuation page in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php
You can change this constant in the php.ini or .httpd.conf files if you have access to them, or in the local .htaccess file on your web site. To set the timeout to one hour using the .htaccess method, add this line to the .htaccess file in the root directory of the site:
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime "3600"
Be careful if you are on a shared host or if you host more than one site where you have not changed the default. The default session location is the /tmp directory, and the garbage collection routine will run every 24 minutes for these other sites (and wipe out your sessions in the process, regardless of how long they should be kept). See the note on the manual page or this site for a better explanation.
The answer to this is to move your sessions to another directory using session.save_path. This also helps prevent bad guys from hijacking your visitors' sessions from the default /tmp directory.
css 'pointer-events' property alternative for IE
I spent almost two days on finding the solution for this problem and I found this at last.
This uses javascript and jquery.
(GitHub) pointer_events_polyfill
This could use a javascript plug-in to be downloaded/copied.
Just copy/download the codes from that site and save it as pointer_events_polyfill.js
. Include that javascript to your site.
<script src="JS/pointer_events_polyfill.js></script>
Add this jquery scripts to your site
$(document).ready(function(){
PointerEventsPolyfill.initialize({});
});
And don't forget to include your jquery plug-in.
It works! I can click elements under the transparent element. I'm using IE 10. I hope this can also work in IE 9 and below.
EDIT: Using this solution does not work when you click the textboxes below the transparent element. To solve this problem, I use focus when the user clicks on the textbox.
Javascript:
document.getElementById("theTextbox").focus();
JQuery:
$("#theTextbox").focus();
This lets you type the text into the textbox.
CASE .. WHEN expression in Oracle SQL
Of course...
select case substr(status,1,1) -- you're only interested in the first character.
when 'a' then 'Active'
when 'i' then 'Inactive'
when 't' then 'Terminated'
end as statustext
from stage.tst
However, there's a few worrying things about this schema. Firstly if you have a column that means something, appending a number onto the end it not necessarily the best way to go. Also, depending on the number of status' you have you might want to consider turning this column into a foreign key to a separate table.
Based on your comment you definitely want to turn this into a foreign key. For instance
create table statuses ( -- Not a good table name :-)
status varchar2(10)
, description varchar2(10)
, constraint pk_statuses primary key (status)
)
create table tst (
id number
, status varchar2(10)
, constraint pk_tst primary key (id)
, constraint fk_tst foreign key (status) references statuses (status)
)
Your query then becomes
select a.status, b.description
from tst a
left outer join statuses b
on a.status = b.status
Here's a SQL Fiddle to demonstrate.
Read Content from Files which are inside Zip file
As of Java 7, the NIO Api provides a better and more generic way of accessing the contents of Zip or Jar files. Actually, it is now a unified API which allows you to treat Zip files exactly like normal files.
In order to extract all of the files contained inside of a zip file in this API, you'd do this:
In Java 8:
private void extractAll(URI fromZip, Path toDirectory) throws IOException{
FileSystems.newFileSystem(fromZip, Collections.emptyMap())
.getRootDirectories()
.forEach(root -> {
// in a full implementation, you'd have to
// handle directories
Files.walk(root).forEach(path -> Files.copy(path, toDirectory));
});
}
In java 7:
private void extractAll(URI fromZip, Path toDirectory) throws IOException{
FileSystem zipFs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(fromZip, Collections.emptyMap());
for(Path root : zipFs.getRootDirectories()) {
Files.walkFileTree(root, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
@Override
public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs)
throws IOException {
// You can do anything you want with the path here
Files.copy(file, toDirectory);
return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
}
@Override
public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path dir, BasicFileAttributes attrs)
throws IOException {
// In a full implementation, you'd need to create each
// sub-directory of the destination directory before
// copying files into it
return super.preVisitDirectory(dir, attrs);
}
});
}
}
Use virtualenv with Python with Visual Studio Code in Ubuntu
As of September 2016 (according to the GitHub repository documentation of the extension) you can just execute a command from within Visual Studio Code that will let you select the interpreter from an automatically generated list of known interpreters (including the one in your project's virtual environment).
How can I use this feature?
- Select the command
Python: Select Workspace Interpreter
(*) from the command palette (F1).
- Upon selecting the above command a list of discovered interpreters will be displayed in a
quick pick
list.
- Selecting an interpreter from this list will update the settings.json file automatically.
(*) This command has been updated to Python: Select Interpreter
in the latest release of Visual Studio Code (thanks @nngeek).
Also, notice that your selected interpreter will be shown at the left side of the statusbar, e.g., Python 3.6 64-bit. This is a button you can click to trigger the Select Interpreter feature.
XAMPP - Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly
- Rename the folder mysql/data to mysql/data_old (you can use any name)
- Create a new folder mysql/data Copy the content that resides in mysql/backup to the new mysql/data folder
- Copy all your database folders that are in mysql/data_old to mysql/data (skipping the mysql, performance_schema, and phpmyadmin folders from data_old)
- Finally copy the ibdata1 file from mysql/data_old and replace it inside the mysql/data folder
- Start MySQL from the XAMPP control panel
Oracle - What TNS Names file am I using?
By default, tnsnames.ora is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory on UNIX operating systems and in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory on Windows operating systems. tnsnames.ora can also be stored the following locations:
The directory specified by the TNS_ADMIN environment variable (or registry value)
On UNIX operating systems, the global configuration directory. For example, on the Solaris Operating System, this directory is /var/opt/oracle
If you have multiple ORACLE_HOMES, be aware of which one you are using, as the location of the tnsnames.ora file can vary from one ORACLE_HOME to the next.
For the person who mentioned the TWO_TASK environment variable, that is used to set a default database service name to connect to (which could be a database on another server). The service name you set TWO_TASK to is then looked up in the tnsnames.ora file when you connect.
How to install MySQLdb (Python data access library to MySQL) on Mac OS X?
Just had this problem (again!) after getting a new Lion box.
Best solution I've found (still not 100% optimal, but working):
you can get it by downloading XCode/Dev Tools from Apple - this is a big download -
... but instead I recommend this github which has what you need (and does not have XCode): https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer
I downloaded their prebuilt PKG for lion, https://github.com/downloads/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/GCC-10.7-v2.pkg
make sure you have downloaded a 64-BIT version of MYSQL Community. (The DMG install is an easy route) http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Set paths as follows:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql-XXXX
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/mysql/lib/
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
NOTE THAT:
1 in mysql-XXXX above, XXX is the specific version you downloaded. (Probably /usr/local/mysql/ would also work since this is most likely an alias to the same, but I won't pretend to know your setup)
2 I have seen it suggested that ARCHFLAGS be set to '-arch i386 -arch x86_64' but specifying only x86_64 seemed to work better for me. (I can think of some reasons for this but they are not strictly relevant).
Permanently add the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH!
You can add it to your bash_profile or similar.
This was the missing step for me, without which my system continued to insist on various errors finding _mysql.so and so on.
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/mysql/lib/
@richard-boardman, just noticed your soft link solution, which may in effect be doing the same thing my PATH solution does...folks, whatever works best for you.

What is the difference between __dirname and ./ in node.js?
The gist
In Node.js, __dirname
is always the directory in which the currently executing script resides (see this). So if you typed __dirname
into /d1/d2/myscript.js
, the value would be /d1/d2
.
By contrast, .
gives you the directory from which you ran the node
command in your terminal window (i.e. your working directory) when you use libraries like path
and fs
. Technically, it starts out as your working directory but can be changed using process.chdir()
.
The exception is when you use .
with require()
. The path inside require
is always relative to the file containing the call to require
.
For example...
Let's say your directory structure is
/dir1
/dir2
pathtest.js
and pathtest.js
contains
var path = require("path");
console.log(". = %s", path.resolve("."));
console.log("__dirname = %s", path.resolve(__dirname));
and you do
cd /dir1/dir2
node pathtest.js
you get
. = /dir1/dir2
__dirname = /dir1/dir2
Your working directory is /dir1/dir2
so that's what .
resolves to. Since pathtest.js
is located in /dir1/dir2
that's what __dirname
resolves to as well.
However, if you run the script from /dir1
cd /dir1
node dir2/pathtest.js
you get
. = /dir1
__dirname = /dir1/dir2
In that case, your working directory was /dir1
so that's what .
resolved to, but __dirname
still resolves to /dir1/dir2
.
Using .
inside require
...
If inside dir2/pathtest.js
you have a require
call into include a file inside dir1
you would always do
require('../thefile')
because the path inside require
is always relative to the file in which you are calling it. It has nothing to do with your working directory.
How to add and remove item from array in components in Vue 2
You can use Array.push()
for appending elements to an array.
For deleting, it is best to use this.$delete(array, index)
for reactive objects.
Vue.delete( target, key )
: Delete a property on an object. If the object is reactive, ensure the deletion triggers view updates. This is primarily used to get around the limitation that Vue cannot detect property deletions, but you should rarely need to use it.
https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#Vue-delete
How to use 'cp' command to exclude a specific directory?
rsync
is actually quite tricky. have to do multiple tests to make it work.
Let's say you want to copy /var/www/html
to /var/www/dev
but need to exclude /var/www/html/site/video/
directory maybe due to its size. The command would be:
rsync -av --exclude 'sites/video' /var/www/html/ /var/www/dev
Some caveat:
- The last slash
/
in the source is needed, otherwise it will also copy the source directory rather than its content and becomes /var/www/dev/html/xxxx
, which maybe is not what you want.
The the --exclude
path is relative to the source directly. Even if you put full absolute path, it will not work.
-v
is for verbose, -a
is for archive mode which means you want recursion and want to preserve almost everything.

How can I make my string property nullable?
System.String is a reference type so you don't need to do anything like
Nullable<string>
It already has a null value (the null reference):
string x = null; // No problems here
python filter list of dictionaries based on key value
Use filter
, or if the number of dictionaries in exampleSet
is too high, use ifilter
of the itertools
module. It would return an iterator, instead of filling up your system's memory with the entire list at once:
from itertools import ifilter
for elem in ifilter(lambda x: x['type'] in keyValList, exampleSet):
print elem
Is Django for the frontend or backend?
Neither.
Django is a framework, not a language. Python is the language in which Django is written.
Django is a collection of Python libs allowing you to quickly and efficiently create a quality Web application, and is suitable for both frontend and backend.
However, Django is pretty famous for its "Django admin", an auto generated backend that allows you to manage your website in a blink for a lot of simple use cases without having to code much.
More precisely, for the front end, Django helps you with data selection, formatting, and display. It features URL management, a templating language, authentication mechanisms, cache hooks, and various navigation tools such as paginators.
For the backend, Django comes with an ORM that lets you manipulate your data source with ease, forms (an HTML independent implementation) to process user input and validate data and signals, and an implementation of the observer pattern. Plus a tons of use-case specific nifty little tools.
For the rest of the backend work Django doesn't help with, you just use regular Python. Business logic is a pretty broad term.
You probably want to know as well that Django comes with the concept of apps, a self contained pluggable Django library that solves a problem. The Django community is huge, and so there are numerous apps that do specific business logic that vanilla Django doesn't.
NOT IN vs NOT EXISTS
Database table model
Let’s assume we have the following two tables in our database, that form a one-to-many table relationship.
The student
table is the parent, and the student_grade
is the child table since it has a student_id Foreign Key column referencing the id Primary Key column in the student table.
The student table
contains the following two records:
| id | first_name | last_name | admission_score |
|----|------------|-----------|-----------------|
| 1 | Alice | Smith | 8.95 |
| 2 | Bob | Johnson | 8.75 |
And, the student_grade
table stores the grades the students received:
| id | class_name | grade | student_id |
|----|------------|-------|------------|
| 1 | Math | 10 | 1 |
| 2 | Math | 9.5 | 1 |
| 3 | Math | 9.75 | 1 |
| 4 | Science | 9.5 | 1 |
| 5 | Science | 9 | 1 |
| 6 | Science | 9.25 | 1 |
| 7 | Math | 8.5 | 2 |
| 8 | Math | 9.5 | 2 |
| 9 | Math | 9 | 2 |
| 10 | Science | 10 | 2 |
| 11 | Science | 9.4 | 2 |
SQL EXISTS
Let’s say we want to get all students that have received a 10 grade in Math class.
If we are only interested in the student identifier, then we can run a query like this one:
SELECT
student_grade.student_id
FROM
student_grade
WHERE
student_grade.grade = 10 AND
student_grade.class_name = 'Math'
ORDER BY
student_grade.student_id
But, the application is interested in displaying the full name of a student
, not just the identifier, so we need info from the student
table as well.
In order to filter the student
records that have a 10 grade in Math, we can use the EXISTS SQL operator, like this:
SELECT
id, first_name, last_name
FROM
student
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM
student_grade
WHERE
student_grade.student_id = student.id AND
student_grade.grade = 10 AND
student_grade.class_name = 'Math'
)
ORDER BY id
When running the query above, we can see that only the Alice row is selected:
| id | first_name | last_name |
|----|------------|-----------|
| 1 | Alice | Smith |
The outer query selects the student
row columns we are interested in returning to the client. However, the WHERE clause is using the EXISTS operator with an associated inner subquery.
The EXISTS operator returns true if the subquery returns at least one record and false if no row is selected. The database engine does not have to run the subquery entirely. If a single record is matched, the EXISTS operator returns true, and the associated other query row is selected.
The inner subquery is correlated because the student_id column of the student_grade
table is matched against the id column of the outer student table.
SQL NOT EXISTS
Let’s consider we want to select all students that have no grade lower than 9. For this, we can use NOT EXISTS, which negates the logic of the EXISTS operator.
Therefore, the NOT EXISTS operator returns true if the underlying subquery returns no record. However, if a single record is matched by the inner subquery, the NOT EXISTS operator will return false, and the subquery execution can be stopped.
To match all student records that have no associated student_grade with a value lower than 9, we can run the following SQL query:
SELECT
id, first_name, last_name
FROM
student
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM
student_grade
WHERE
student_grade.student_id = student.id AND
student_grade.grade < 9
)
ORDER BY id
When running the query above, we can see that only the Alice record is matched:
| id | first_name | last_name |
|----|------------|-----------|
| 1 | Alice | Smith |
So, the advantage of using the SQL EXISTS and NOT EXISTS operators is that the inner subquery execution can be stopped as long as a matching record is found.
How to force the input date format to dd/mm/yyyy?
To have a constant date format irrespective of the computer settings, you must use 3 different input elements to capture day, month, and year respectively. However, you need to validate the user input to ensure that you have a valid date as shown bellow
<input id="txtDay" type="text" placeholder="DD" />
<input id="txtMonth" type="text" placeholder="MM" />
<input id="txtYear" type="text" placeholder="YYYY" />
<button id="but" onclick="validateDate()">Validate</button>
function validateDate() {
var date = new Date(document.getElementById("txtYear").value, document.getElementById("txtMonth").value, document.getElementById("txtDay").value);
if (date == "Invalid Date") {
alert("jnvalid date");
}
}
What does @@variable mean in Ruby?
A variable prefixed with @
is an instance variable, while one prefixed with @@
is a class variable. Check out the following example; its output is in the comments at the end of the puts
lines:
class Test
@@shared = 1
def value
@@shared
end
def value=(value)
@@shared = value
end
end
class AnotherTest < Test; end
t = Test.new
puts "t.value is #{t.value}" # 1
t.value = 2
puts "t.value is #{t.value}" # 2
x = Test.new
puts "x.value is #{x.value}" # 2
a = AnotherTest.new
puts "a.value is #{a.value}" # 2
a.value = 3
puts "a.value is #{a.value}" # 3
puts "t.value is #{t.value}" # 3
puts "x.value is #{x.value}" # 3
You can see that @@shared
is shared between the classes; setting the value in an instance of one changes the value for all other instances of that class and even child classes, where a variable named @shared
, with one @
, would not be.
[Update]
As Phrogz mentions in the comments, it's a common idiom in Ruby to track class-level data with an instance variable on the class itself. This can be a tricky subject to wrap your mind around, and there is plenty of additional reading on the subject, but think about it as modifying the Class
class, but only the instance of the Class
class you're working with. An example:
class Polygon
class << self
attr_accessor :sides
end
end
class Triangle < Polygon
@sides = 3
end
class Rectangle < Polygon
@sides = 4
end
class Square < Rectangle
end
class Hexagon < Polygon
@sides = 6
end
puts "Triangle.sides: #{Triangle.sides.inspect}" # 3
puts "Rectangle.sides: #{Rectangle.sides.inspect}" # 4
puts "Square.sides: #{Square.sides.inspect}" # nil
puts "Hexagon.sides: #{Hexagon.sides.inspect}" # 6
I included the Square
example (which outputs nil
) to demonstrate that this may not behave 100% as you expect; the article I linked above has plenty of additional information on the subject.
Also keep in mind that, as with most data, you should be extremely careful with class variables in a multithreaded environment, as per dmarkow's comment.
Grunt watch error - Waiting...Fatal error: watch ENOSPC
I ran into this error after my client PC crashed, the jest --watch
command I was running on the server persisted, and I tried to run jest --watch
again.
The addition to /etc/sysctl.conf
described in the answers above worked around this issue, but it was also important to find my old process via ps aux | grep node
and kill
it.
Android XXHDPI resources
The DPI of the screen of the Nexus 10 is ±300, which is in the unofficial xhdpi
range of 280-400.
Usually, devices use resources designed for their density. But there are exceptions, and exceptions might be added in the future.
The Nexus 10 uses xxhdpi
resources when it comes to launcher icons.
The standard quantised DPI for xxhdpi is 480 (which means screens with a DPI somewhere in the range of 400-560 are probably xxhdpi).
Why is "cursor:pointer" effect in CSS not working
The solution that worked for me is using forward slash instead of backslash when 'calling' out from a local directory.
instead of backslash:
_x000D_
_x000D_
cursor: url("C:\Users\Ken\projects\JavascriptGames\images\bird.png"), auto;
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Note: When I use backslash I am getting a net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
I changed it to forwardslash:
_x000D_
_x000D_
cursor: url("C:/Users/Ken/projects/JavascriptGames/images/bird.png"), auto;
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Note: When I use forward slash, the custom cursor style executes successfully.
This behavior regarding backslashes and forward slashes could probably be explained in this StackOverflow answer: Strange backslash and behavior in CSS

What is the difference between json.load() and json.loads() functions
Just going to add a simple example to what everyone has explained,
json.load()
json.load
can deserialize a file itself i.e. it accepts a file
object, for example,
# open a json file for reading and print content using json.load
with open("/xyz/json_data.json", "r") as content:
print(json.load(content))
will output,
{u'event': {u'id': u'5206c7e2-da67-42da-9341-6ea403c632c7', u'name': u'Sufiyan Ghori'}}
If I use json.loads
to open a file instead,
# you cannot use json.loads on file object
with open("json_data.json", "r") as content:
print(json.loads(content))
I would get this error:
TypeError: expected string or buffer
json.loads()
json.loads()
deserialize string.
So in order to use json.loads
I will have to pass the content of the file using read()
function, for example,
using content.read()
with json.loads()
return content of the file,
with open("json_data.json", "r") as content:
print(json.loads(content.read()))
Output,
{u'event': {u'id': u'5206c7e2-da67-42da-9341-6ea403c632c7', u'name': u'Sufiyan Ghori'}}
That's because type of content.read()
is string, i.e. <type 'str'>
If I use json.load()
with content.read()
, I will get error,
with open("json_data.json", "r") as content:
print(json.load(content.read()))
Gives,
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'
So, now you know json.load
deserialze file and json.loads
deserialize a string.
Another example,
sys.stdin
return file
object, so if i do print(json.load(sys.stdin))
, I will get actual json data,
cat json_data.json | ./test.py
{u'event': {u'id': u'5206c7e2-da67-42da-9341-6ea403c632c7', u'name': u'Sufiyan Ghori'}}
If I want to use json.loads()
, I would do print(json.loads(sys.stdin.read()))
instead.
col align right
From the documentation, you do it like:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">left</div>
<div class="col-md-push-6">content needs to be right aligned</div>
</div>

How to open a new form from another form
You could try adding a bool so the algorithm would know when the button was activated. When it's clicked, the bool checks true, the new form shows and the last gets closed.
It's important to know that forms consume some ram (at least a little bit), so it's a good idea to close those you're not gonna use, instead of just hiding it. Makes the difference in big projects.
What are the differences between C, C# and C++ in terms of real-world applications?
Bear in mind that I speak ASFAC++B. :) I've put the most important differentiating factor first.
Garbage Collection
Garbage Collection (GC) is the single most important factor in differentiating between these languages.
While C and C++ can be used with GC, it is a bolted-on afterthought and cannot be made to work as well (the best known is here) - it has to be "conservative" which means that it cannot collect all unused memory.
C# is designed from the ground up to work on a GC platform, with standard libraries also designed that way. It makes an absolutely fundamental difference to developer productivity that has to be experienced to be believed.
There is a belief widespread among C/C++ users that GC equates with "bad performance". But this is out-of-date folklore (even the Boehm collector on C/C++ performs much better than most people expect it to). The typical fear is of "long pauses" where the program stops so the GC can do some work. But in reality these long pauses happen with non-GC programs, because they run on top of a virtual memory system, which occasionally interrupts to move data between physical memory and disk.
There is also widespread belief that GC can be replaced with shared_ptr, but it can't; the irony is that in a multi-threaded program, shared_ptr
is slower than a GC-based system.
There are environments that are so frugal that GC isn't practical - but these are increasingly rare. Cell phones typically have GC. The CLR's GC that C# typically runs on appears to be state-of-the-art.
Since adopting C# about 18 months ago I've gone through several phases of pure performance tuning with a profiler, and the GC is so efficient that it is practically invisible during the operation of the program.
GC is not a panacea, it doesn't solve all programming problems, it only really cleans up memory allocation, if you're allocating very large memory blocks then you will still need to take some care, and it is still possible to have what amounts to a memory leak in a sufficiently complex program - and yet, the effect of GC on productivity makes it a pretty close approximation to a panacea!
Undefined Behaviour
C++ is founded on the notion of undefined behaviour. That is, the language specification defines the outcome of certain narrowly defined usages of language features, and describes all other usages as causing undefined behaviour, meaning in principle that the operation could have any outcome at all (in practice this means hard-to-diagnose bugs involving apparently non-deterministic corruption of data).
Almost everything about C++ touches on undefined behaviour. Even very nice forthcoming features like lambda expressions can easily be used as convenient way to corrupt the stack (capture a local by reference, allow the lambda instance to outlive the local).
C# is founded on the principle that all possible operations should have defined behaviour. The worst that can happen is an exception is thrown. This completely changes the experience of software construction.
(There's unsafe mode, which has pointers and therefore undefined behaviour, but that is strongly discouraged for general use - think of it as analogous to embedded assembly language.)
Complexity
In terms of complexity, C++ has to be singled out, especially if we consider the very-soon-to-be standardized new version. C++ does absolutely everything it can to make itself effective, short of assuming GC, and as a result it has an awesome learning curve. The language designers excuse much of this by saying "Those features are only for library authors, not ordinary users" - but to be truly effective in any language, you need to build your code as reusable libraries. So you can't escape.
On the positive side, C++ is so complex, it's like a playground for nerds! I can assure you that you would have a lot of fun learning how it all fits together. But I can't seriously recommend it as a basis for productive new work (oh, the wasted years...) on mainstream platforms.
C keeps the language simple (simple in the sense of "the compiler is easy to write"), but this makes the coding techniques more arcane.
Note that not all new language features equate with added complexity. Some language features are described as "syntactic sugar", because they are shorthand that the compiler expands for you. This is a good way to think of a great deal of the enhancements to C# over recent years. The language standard even specifies some features by giving the translation to longhand, e.g. using
statement expands into try
/finally
.
At one point, it was possible to think of C++ templates in the same way. But they've since become so powerful that they are now form the basis of a whole separate dimension of the language, with its own enthusiastic user communities and idioms.
Libraries
The strangest thing about C and C++ is that they don't have a standard interchangeable form of pre-compiled library. Integrating someone else's code into your project is always a little fiddly, with obscure decisions to be made about how you'll be linking to it.
Also, the standard library is extremely basic - C++ has a complete set of data structures and a way of representing strings (std::string
), but that's still minimal. Is there a standard way of finding a list of files in a directory? Amazingly, no! Is there standard library support for parsing or generating XML? No. What about accessing databases? Be serious! Writing a web site back-end? Are you crazy? etc.
So you have to go hunting further afield. For XML, try Xerces. But does it use std::string
to represent strings? Of course not!
And do all these third-party libraries have their own bizarre customs for naming classes and functions? You betcha!
The situation in C# couldn't be more different; the fundamentals were in place from the start, so everything inter-operates beautifully (and because the fundamentals are supplied by the CLR, there is cross-language support).
It's not all perfect; generics should have been in place from the start but wasn't, which does leave a visible scar on some older libraries; but it is usually trivial to fix this externally. Also a number of popular libraries are ported from Java, which isn't as good a fit as it first appears.
Closures (Anonymous Methods with Local Variable Capture)
Java and C are practically the last remaining mainstream languages to lack closures, and libraries can be designed and used much more neatly with them than without (this is one reason why ported Java libraries sometimes seem clunky to a C# user).
The amusing thing about C++ is that its standard library was designed as if closures were available in the language (container types, <algorithm>
, <functional>
). Then ten years went by, and now they're finally being added! They will have a huge impact (although, as noted above, they leak underfined behaviour).
C# and JavaScript are the most widely used languages in which closures are "idiomatically established". (The major difference between those languages being that C# is statically typed while JavaScript is dynamically typed).
Platform Support
I've put this last only because it doesn't appear to differentiate these languages as much as you might think. All these languages can run on multiple OSes and machine architectures. C is the most widely-supported, then C++, and finally C# (although C# can be used on most major platforms thanks to an open source implementation called Mono).
My experience of porting C++ programs between Windows and various Unix flavours was unpleasant. I've never tried porting anything very complex in C# to Mono, so I can't comment on that.
How to convert FileInputStream to InputStream?
You would typically first read from the input stream and then close it. You can wrap the FileInputStream in another InputStream (or Reader). It will be automatically closed when you close the wrapping stream/reader.
If this is a method returning an InputStream to the caller, then it is the caller's responsibility to close the stream when finished with it. If you close it in your method, the caller will not be able to use it.
To answer some of your comments...
To send the contents InputStream to a remote consumer, you would write the content of the InputStream to an OutputStream, and then close both streams.
The remote consumer does not know anything about the stream objects you have created. He just receives the content, in an InputStream which he will create, read from and close.

- params – (optional)
Dictionary of GET Parameters to send
with the
Request
.
- headers – (optional)
Dictionary of HTTP Headers to send
with the
Request
.
- cookies – (optional)
CookieJar object to send with the
Request
.
- auth – (optional) AuthObject
to enable Basic HTTP Auth.
- timeout –
(optional) Float describing the
timeout of the request.
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
In my case, I tried xcode-select --install
but it says that it's not available from the store. Then, inspired by Rimian, I checked my gcc : gcc -v
and then I got a message saying I did not aggreed.
From that point I just followed the agreement process from gcc -v
, after I agreed it works fine for me.
Add a Progress Bar in WebView
The best approch which worked for me is
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
mProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);
webView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
@Override public void onPageCommitVisible(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageCommitVisible(view, url);
mProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
webView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
isWebViewLoadingFirstPage=false;
}
}
How to read a text file into a string variable and strip newlines?
I don't feel that anyone addressed the [ ] part of your question. When you read each line into your variable, because there were multiple lines before you replaced the \n with '' you ended up creating a list. If you have a variable of x and print it out just by
x
or print(x)
or str(x)
You will see the entire list with the brackets. If you call each element of the (array of sorts)
x[0]
then it omits the brackets. If you use the str() function you will see just the data and not the '' either.
str(x[0])
What does "where T : class, new()" mean?
Those are generic type constraints. In your case there are two of them:
where T : class
Means that the type T
must be a reference type (not a value type).
where T : new()
Means that the type T
must have a parameter-less constructor. Having this constraint will allow you to do something like T field = new T();
in your code which you wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
You then combine the two using a comma to get:
where T : class, new()
What are alternatives to ExtJS?
Nothing compares to extjs in terms of community size and presence on StackOverflow. Despite previous controversy, Ext JS now has a GPLv3 open source license. Its learning curve is long, but it can be quite rewarding once learned. Ext JS lacks a Material Design theme, and the team has repeatedly refused to release the source code on GitHub. For mobile, one must use the separate Sencha Touch library.
Have in mind also that,
large JavaScript libraries, such as YUI, have been receiving less attention from the community. Many developers today look at large JavaScript libraries as walled gardens they don’t want to be locked into.
-- Announcement of YUI development being ceased
That said, below are a number of Ext JS alternatives currently available.
Leading client widget libraries
Blueprint is a React-based UI toolkit developed by big data analytics company Palantir in TypeScript, and "optimized for building complex data-dense interfaces for desktop applications". Actively developed on GitHub as of May 2019, with comprehensive documentation. Components range from simple (chips, toast, icons) to complex (tree, data table, tag input with autocomplete, date range picker. No accordion or resizer.
Blueprint targets modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 11, and Microsoft Edge) and is licensed under a modified Apache license.

Webix - an advanced, easy to learn, mobile-friendly, responsive and rich free&open source JavaScript UI components library. Webix spun off from DHTMLX Touch (a project with 8 years of development behind it - see below) and went on to become a standalone UI components framework. The GPL3 edition allows commercial use and lets non-GPL applications using Webix keep their license, e.g. MIT, via a license exemption for FLOSS. Webix has 55 UI widgets, including trees, grids, treegrids and charts. Funding comes from a commercial edition with some advanced widgets (Pivot, Scheduler, Kanban, org chart etc.). Webix has an extensive list of free and commercial widgets, and integrates with most popular frameworks (React, Vue, Meteor, etc) and UI components.
Skins look modern, and include a Material Design theme. The Touch theme also looks quite Material Design-ish. See also the Skin Builder.
Minimal GitHub presence, but includes the library code, and the documentation (which still needs major improvements). Webix suffers from a having a small team and a lack of marketing. However, they have been responsive to user feedback, both on GitHub and on their forum.
The library was lean (128Kb gzip+minified for all 55 widgets as of ~2015), faster than ExtJS, dojo and others, and the design is pleasant-looking. The current version of Webix (v6, as of Nov 2018) got heavier (400 - 676kB minified but NOT gzipped).
The demos on Webix.com look and function great. The developer, XB Software, uses Webix in solutions they build for paying customers, so there's likely a good, funded future ahead of it.
Webix aims for backwards compatibility down to IE8, and as a result carries some technical debt.

react-md - MIT-licensed Material Design UI components library for React. Responsive, accessible. Implements components from simple (buttons, cards) to complex (sortable tables, autocomplete, tags input, calendars). One lead author, ~1900 GitHub stars.
kendo - jQuery-based UI toolkit with 40+ basic open-source widgets, plus commercial professional widgets (grids, trees, charts etc.). Responsive&mobile support. Works with Bootstrap and AngularJS. Modern, with Material Design themes. The documentation is available on GitHub, which has enabled numerous contributions from users (4500+ commits, 500+ PRs as of Jan 2015).
Well-supported commercially, claiming millions of developers, and part of a large family of developer tools. Telerik has received many accolades, is a multi-national company (Bulgaria, US), was acquired by Progress Software, and is a thought leader.
A Kendo UI Professional developer license costs $700 and posting access to most forums is conditioned upon having a license or being in the trial period.

DHTMLX - JavaScript library for building rich Web and Mobile apps. Looks most like ExtJS - check the demos. Has been developed since 2005 but still looks modern. All components except TreeGrid are available under GPLv2 but advanced features for many components are only available in the commercial PRO edition - see for example the tree. Claims to be used by many Fortune 500 companies.
Minimal presence on GitHub (the main library code is missing) and StackOverflow but active forum. The documentation is not available on GitHub, which makes it difficult to improve by the community.
Polymer, a Web Components polyfill, plus Polymer Paper, Google's implementation of the Material design. Aimed at web and mobile apps. Doesn't have advanced widgets like trees or even grids but the controls it provides are mobile-first and responsive. Used by many big players, e.g. IBM or USA Today.
Ant Design claims it is "a design language for background applications", influenced by "nature" and helping designers "create low-entropy atmosphere for developer team". That's probably a poor translation from Chinese for "UI components for enterprise web applications". It's a React UI library written in TypeScript, with many components, from simple (buttons, cards) to advanced (autocomplete, calendar, tag input, table).
The project was born in China, is popular with Chinese companies, and parts of the documentation are available only in Chinese. Quite popular on GitHub, yet it makes the mistake of splitting the community into Chinese and English chat rooms. The design looks Material-ish, but fonts are small and the information looks lost in a see of whitespace.

jQuery UI - easy to pick up; looks a bit dated; lacks advanced widgets. Of course, you can combine it with independent widgets for particular needs, e.g. trees or other UI components, but the same can be said for any other framework.
angular + Angular UI. While Angular is backed by Google, it's being radically revamped in the upcoming 2.0 version, and "users will need to get to grips with a new kind of architecture. It's also been confirmed that there will be no migration path from Angular 1.X to 2.0". Moreover, the consensus seems to be that Angular 2 won't really be ready for use until a year or two from now. Angular UI has relatively few widgets (no trees, for example).
DojoToolkit and their powerful Dijit set of widgets. Completely open-sourced and actively developed on GitHub, but development is now (Nov 2018) focused on the new dojo.io framework, which has very few basic widgets. BSD/AFL license. Development started in 2004 and the Dojo Foundation is being sponsored by IBM, Google, and others - see Wikipedia. 7500 questions here on SO.
Themes look desktop-oriented and dated - see the theme tester in dijit. The official theme previewer is broken and only shows "Claro". A Bootstrap theme exists, which looks a lot like Bootstrap, but doesn't use Bootstrap classes. In Jan 2015, I started a thread on building a Material Design theme for Dojo, which got quite popular within the first hours. However, there are questions regarding building that theme for the current Dojo 1.10 vs. the next Dojo 2.0. The response to that thread shows an active and wide community, covering many time zones.
Unfortunately, Dojo has fallen out of popularity and fewer companies appear to use it, despite having (had?) a strong foothold in the enterprise world. In 2009-2012, its learning curve was steep and the documentation needed improvements; while the documentation has substantially improved, it's unclear how easy it is to pick up Dojo nowadays.
With a Material Design theme, Dojo (2.0?) might be the killer UI components framework.

UI Kit - similar to Bootstrap, with fewer widgets, but with official off-canvas.
Libraries using HTML Canvas
Using the canvas elements allows for complete control over the UI, and great cross-browser compatibility, but comes at the cost of missing native browser functionality, e.g. page search via Ctrl/Cmd+F.

Format / Suppress Scientific Notation from Python Pandas Aggregation Results
Setting a fixed number of decimal places globally is often a bad idea since it is unlikely that it will be an appropriate number of decimal places for all of your various data that you will display regardless of magnitude. Instead, try this which will give you scientific notation only for large and very small values (and adds a thousands separator unless you omit the ","):
pd.set_option('display.float_format', lambda x: '%,g' % x)
Or to almost completely suppress scientific notation without losing precision, try this:
pd.set_option('display.float_format', str)

How to trim a list in Python
To trim a list in place without creating copies of it, use del
:
>>> t = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> # delete elements starting from index 4 to the end
>>> del t[4:]
>>> t
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> # delete elements starting from index 5 to the end
>>> # but the list has only 4 elements -- no error
>>> del t[5:]
>>> t
[1, 2, 3, 4]

How to add data into ManyToMany field?
In case someone else ends up here struggling to customize admin form Many2Many saving behaviour, you can't call self.instance.my_m2m.add(obj)
in your ModelForm.save
override, as ModelForm.save
later populates your m2m from self.cleaned_data['my_m2m']
which overwrites your changes. Instead call:
my_m2ms = list(self.cleaned_data['my_m2ms'])
my_m2ms.extend(my_custom_new_m2ms)
self.cleaned_data['my_m2ms'] = my_m2ms
(It is fine to convert the incoming QuerySet to a list - the ManyToManyField
does that anyway.)
get current url in twig template?
{{ path(app.request.attributes.get('_route'),
app.request.attributes.get('_route_params')) }}
If you want to read it into a view variable:
{% set currentPath = path(app.request.attributes.get('_route'),
app.request.attributes.get('_route_params')) %}
The app
global view variable contains all sorts of useful shortcuts, such as app.session
and app.security.token.user
, that reference the services you might use in a controller.
How to display activity indicator in middle of the iphone screen?
Hope this will work:

initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 20.0f, 20.0f)];
[activityIndicator setActivityIndicatorViewStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];
...
[self.view addSubview:activityIndicator];
// release it
[activityIndicator release];
Deleting records before a certain date
This helped me delete data based on different attributes. This is dangerous so make sure you back up database or the table before doing it:
mysqldump -h hotsname -u username -p password database_name > backup_folder/backup_filename.txt
Now you can perform the delete operation:
delete from table_name where column_name < DATE_SUB(NOW() , INTERVAL 1 DAY)
This will remove all the data from before one day. For deleting data from before 6 months:
delete from table_name where column_name < DATE_SUB(NOW() , INTERVAL 6 MONTH)
python how to pad numpy array with zeros
Very simple, you create an array containing zeros using the reference shape:
result = np.zeros(b.shape)
# actually you can also use result = np.zeros_like(b)
# but that also copies the dtype not only the shape
and then insert the array where you need it:
result[:a.shape[0],:a.shape[1]] = a
and voila you have padded it:
print(result)
array([[ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 0.],
[ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 0.],
[ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 0.],
[ 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
You can also make it a bit more general if you define where your upper left element should be inserted
result = np.zeros_like(b)
x_offset = 1 # 0 would be what you wanted
y_offset = 1 # 0 in your case
result[x_offset:a.shape[0]+x_offset,y_offset:a.shape[1]+y_offset] = a
result
array([[ 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[ 0., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.],
[ 0., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.],
[ 0., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.]])
but then be careful that you don't have offsets bigger than allowed. For x_offset = 2
for example this will fail.
If you have an arbitary number of dimensions you can define a list of slices to insert the original array. I've found it interesting to play around a bit and created a padding function that can pad (with offset) an arbitary shaped array as long as the array and reference have the same number of dimensions and the offsets are not too big.
def pad(array, reference, offsets):
"""
array: Array to be padded
reference: Reference array with the desired shape
offsets: list of offsets (number of elements must be equal to the dimension of the array)
"""
# Create an array of zeros with the reference shape
result = np.zeros(reference.shape)
# Create a list of slices from offset to offset + shape in each dimension
insertHere = [slice(offset[dim], offset[dim] + array.shape[dim]) for dim in range(a.ndim)]
# Insert the array in the result at the specified offsets
result[insertHere] = a
return result
And some test cases:
import numpy as np
# 1 Dimension
a = np.ones(2)
b = np.ones(5)
offset = [3]
pad(a, b, offset)
# 3 Dimensions
a = np.ones((3,3,3))
b = np.ones((5,4,3))
offset = [1,0,0]
pad(a, b, offset)
How can I turn a DataTable to a CSV?
In case anyone else stumbles on this, I was using File.ReadAllText to get CSV data and then I modified it and wrote it back with File.WriteAllText. The \r\n CRLFs were fine but the \t tabs were ignored when Excel opened it. (All solutions in this thread so far use a comma delimiter but that doesn't matter.) Notepad showed the same format in the resulting file as in the source. A Diff even showed the files as identical. But I got a clue when I opened the file in Visual Studio with a binary editor. The source file was Unicode but the target was ASCII. To fix, I modified both ReadAllText and WriteAllText with third argument set as System.Text.Encoding.Unicode, and from there Excel was able to open the updated file.

Cannot use Server.MapPath
I know this post is a few years old, but what I do is add this line to the top of your class and you will still be able to user Server.MapPath
Dim Server = HttpContext.Current.Server
or u can make a function
Public Function MapPath(sPath as String)
return HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(sPath)
End Function
I am all about making things easier. I have also added it to my Utilities class just in case i run into this again.
No output to console from a WPF application?
Although John Leidegren keeps shooting down the idea, Brian is correct. I've just got it working in Visual Studio.
To be clear a WPF application does not create a Console window by default.
You have to create a WPF Application and then change the OutputType to "Console Application". When you run the project you will see a console window with your WPF window in front of it.
It doesn't look very pretty, but I found it helpful as I wanted my app to be run from the command line with feedback in there, and then for certain command options I would display the WPF window.
Python loop for inside lambda
anon and chepner's answers are on the right track. Python 3.x has a print function and this is what you will need if you want to embed print within a function (and, a fortiori, lambdas).
However, you can get the print function very easily in python 2.x by importing from the standard library's future module. Check it out:
>>>from __future__ import print_function
>>>
>>>iterable = ["a","b","c"]
>>>map(print, iterable)
a
b
c
[None, None, None]
>>>
I guess that looks kind of weird, so feel free to assign the return to _ if you would like to suppress [None, None, None]'s output (you are interested in the side-effects only, I assume):
>>>_ = map(print, iterable)
a
b
c
>>>
How to do one-liner if else statement?
One possible way to do this in just one line by using a map, simple I am checking whether a > b
if it is true
I am assigning c
to a
otherwise b
c := map[bool]int{true: a, false: b}[a > b]
However, this looks amazing but in some cases it might NOT be the perfect solution because of evaluation order. For example, if I am checking whether an object is not nil
get some property out of it, look at the following code snippet which will panic
in case of myObj equals nil
type MyStruct struct {
field1 string
field2 string
}
var myObj *MyStruct
myObj = nil
myField := map[bool]string{true: myObj.field1, false: "empty!"}[myObj != nil}
Because map will be created and built first before evaluating the condition so in case of myObj = nil
this will simply panic.
Not to forget to mention that you can still do the conditions in just one simple line, check the following:
var c int
...
if a > b { c = a } else { c = b}

Unknown Column In Where Clause
select u_name as user_name from users where u_name = "john";
Think of it like this, your where clause evaluates first, to determine which rows (or joined rows) need to be returned. Once the where clause is executed, the select clause runs for it.
To put it a better way, imagine this:
select distinct(u_name) as user_name from users where u_name = "john";
You can't reference the first half without the second. Where always gets evaluated first, then the select clause.
Renaming Column Names in Pandas Groupby function
The current (as of version 0.20) method for changing column names after a groupby operation is to chain the rename
method. See this deprecation note in the documentation for more detail.
Deprecated Answer as of pandas version 0.20
This is the first result in google and although the top answer works it does not really answer the question. There is a better answer here and a long discussion on github about the full functionality of passing dictionaries to the agg
method.
These answers unfortunately do not exist in the documentation but the general format for grouping, aggregating and then renaming columns uses a dictionary of dictionaries. The keys to the outer dictionary are column names that are to be aggregated. The inner dictionaries have keys that the new column names with values as the aggregating function.
Before we get there, let's create a four column DataFrame.
df = pd.DataFrame({'A' : list('wwwwxxxx'),
'B':list('yyzzyyzz'),
'C':np.random.rand(8),
'D':np.random.rand(8)})
A B C D
0 w y 0.643784 0.828486
1 w y 0.308682 0.994078
2 w z 0.518000 0.725663
3 w z 0.486656 0.259547
4 x y 0.089913 0.238452
5 x y 0.688177 0.753107
6 x z 0.955035 0.462677
7 x z 0.892066 0.368850
Let's say we want to group by columns A, B
and aggregate column C
with mean
and median
and aggregate column D
with max
. The following code would do this.
df.groupby(['A', 'B']).agg({'C':['mean', 'median'], 'D':'max'})
D C
max mean median
A B
w y 0.994078 0.476233 0.476233
z 0.725663 0.502328 0.502328
x y 0.753107 0.389045 0.389045
z 0.462677 0.923551 0.923551
This returns a DataFrame with a hierarchical index. The original question asked about renaming the columns in the same step. This is possible using a dictionary of dictionaries:
df.groupby(['A', 'B']).agg({'C':{'C_mean': 'mean', 'C_median': 'median'},
'D':{'D_max': 'max'}})
D C
D_max C_mean C_median
A B
w y 0.994078 0.476233 0.476233
z 0.725663 0.502328 0.502328
x y 0.753107 0.389045 0.389045
z 0.462677 0.923551 0.923551
This renames the columns all in one go but still leaves the hierarchical index which the top level can be dropped with df.columns = df.columns.droplevel(0)
.
can we use xpath with BeautifulSoup?
This is a pretty old thread, but there is a work-around solution now, which may not have been in BeautifulSoup at the time.
Here is an example of what I did. I use the "requests" module to read an RSS feed and get its text content in a variable called "rss_text". With that, I run it thru BeautifulSoup, search for the xpath /rss/channel/title, and retrieve its contents. It's not exactly XPath in all its glory (wildcards, multiple paths, etc.), but if you just have a basic path you want to locate, this works.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
rss_obj = BeautifulSoup(rss_text, 'xml')
cls.title = rss_obj.rss.channel.title.get_text()
How to decode a Base64 string?
There are no PowerShell-native commands for Base64 conversion - yet (as of PowerShell [Core] 7.1), but adding dedicated cmdlets has been suggested.
For now, direct use of .NET is needed.
Important:
Base64 encoding is an encoding of binary data using bytes whose values are constrained to a well-defined 64-character subrange of the ASCII character set representing printable characters, devised at a time when sending arbitrary bytes was problematic, especially with the high bit set (byte values > 0x7f).
Therefore, you must always specify explicitly what character encoding the Base64 bytes do / should represent.
Ergo:
on converting TO Base64, you must first obtain a byte representation of the string you're trying to encode using the character encoding the consumer of the Base64 string expects.
on converting FROM Base64, you must interpret the resultant array of bytes as a string using the same encoding that was used to create the Base64 representation.
Examples:
Note:
The following examples convert to and from UTF-8 encoded strings:
To convert to and from UTF-16LE ("Unicode") instead, substitute [Text.Encoding]::Unicode
for [Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Convert TO Base64:
PS> [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes('Motörhead'))
TW90w7ZyaGVhZA==
Convert FROM Base64:
PS> [Text.Encoding]::Utf8.GetString([Convert]::FromBase64String('TW90w7ZyaGVhZA=='))

Java SimpleDateFormat for time zone with a colon separator?
tl;dr
OffsetDateTime.parse( "2010-03-01T00:00:00-08:00" )
Details
The answer by BalusC is correct, but now outdated as of Java 8.
java.time
The java.time framework is the successor to both Joda-Time library and the old troublesome date-time classes bundled with the earliest versions of Java (java.util.Date/.Calendar & java.text.SimpleDateFormat).
ISO 8601
Your input data string happens to comply with the ISO 8601 standard.
The java.time classes use ISO 8601 formats by default when parsing/generating textual representations of date-time values. So no need to define a formatting pattern.
OffsetDateTime
The OffsetDateTime
class represents a moment on the time line adjusted to some particular offset-from-UTC. In your input, the offset is 8 hours behind UTC, commonly used on much of the west coast of North America.
OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse( "2010-03-01T00:00:00-08:00" );
You seem to want the date-only, in which case use the LocalDate
class. But keep in mind you are discarding data, (a) time-of-day, and (b) the time zone. Really, a date has no meaning without the context of a time zone. For any given moment the date varies around the world. For example, just after midnight in Paris is still “yesterday” in Montréal. So while I suggest sticking with date-time values, you can easily convert to a LocalDate
if you insist.
LocalDate localDate = odt.toLocalDate();
Time Zone
If you know the intended time zone, apply it. A time zone is an offset plus the rules to use for handling anomalies such as Daylight Saving Time (DST). Applying a ZoneId
gets us a ZonedDateTime
object.
ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Los_Angeles" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = odt.atZoneSameInstant( zoneId );
Generating strings
To generate a string in ISO 8601 format, call toString
.
String output = odt.toString();
If you need strings in other formats, search Stack Overflow for use of the java.util.format package.
Converting to java.util.Date
Best to avoid java.util.Date
, but if you must, you can convert. Call the new methods added to the old classes such as java.util.Date.from
where you pass an Instant
. An Instant
is a moment on the timeline in UTC. We can extract an Instant
from our OffsetDateTime
.
java.util.Date utilDate = java.util.Date( odt.toInstant() );
About java.time
The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date
, Calendar
, & SimpleDateFormat
.
The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.
To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.
You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.*
classes.
Where to obtain the java.time classes?
The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval
, YearWeek
, YearQuarter
, and more.
how to change namespace of entire project?
I know its quite late but for anyone looking to do it from now on, I hope this answer proves of some help. If you have CodeRush Express
(free version, and a 'must have') installed, it offers a simple way to change a project wide namespace. You just place your cursor on the namespace that you want to change and it shall display a smart tag
(a little blue box) underneath namespace
string. You can either click that box or press Ctrl + keys to see the Rename
option. Select it and then type in the new name for the project wide namespace, click Apply
and select what places in your project you'd want it to change, in the new dialog and OK
it. Done! :-)
Setting DataContext in XAML in WPF
This code will always fail.
As written, it says: "Look for a property named "Employee" on my DataContext property, and set it to the DataContext property". Clearly that isn't right.
To get your code to work, as is, change your window declaration to:
<Window x:Class="SampleApplication.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SampleApplication"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.DataContext>
<local:Employee/>
</Window.DataContext>
This declares a new XAML namespace (local) and sets the DataContext to an instance of the Employee class. This will cause your bindings to display the default data (from your constructor).
However, it is highly unlikely this is actually what you want. Instead, you should have a new class (call it MainViewModel) with an Employee
property that you then bind to, like this:
public class MainViewModel
{
public Employee MyEmployee { get; set; } //In reality this should utilize INotifyPropertyChanged!
}
Now your XAML becomes:
<Window x:Class="SampleApplication.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SampleApplication"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.DataContext>
<local:MainViewModel/>
</Window.DataContext>
...
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Margin="3" Text="{Binding MyEmployee.EmpID}" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Margin="3" Text="{Binding MyEmployee.EmpName}" />
Now you can add other properties (of other types, names), etc. For more information, see Implementing the Model-View-ViewModel Pattern

Python "string_escape" vs "unicode_escape"
Within the range 0 = c < 128, yes the '
is the only difference for CPython 2.6.
>>> set(unichr(c).encode('unicode_escape') for c in range(128)) - set(chr(c).encode('string_escape') for c in range(128))
set(["'"])
Outside of this range the two types are not exchangeable.
>>> '\x80'.encode('string_escape')
'\\x80'
>>> '\x80'.encode('unicode_escape')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can’t decode byte 0x80 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> u'1'.encode('unicode_escape')
'1'
>>> u'1'.encode('string_escape')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: escape_encode() argument 1 must be str, not unicode
On Python 3.x, the string_escape
encoding no longer exists, since str
can only store Unicode.

limited_integer_field = IntegerField(
default=1,
validators=[
MaxValueValidator(100),
MinValueValidator(1)
]
)
Edit: When working directly with the model, make sure to call the model full_clean method before saving the model in order to trigger the validators. This is not required when using ModelForm
since the forms will do that automatically.

Differences between contentType and dataType in jQuery ajax function
In English:
ContentType
: When sending data to the server, use this content type. Default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
, which is fine for most cases.
Accepts
: The content type sent in the request header that tells the server what kind of response it will accept in return. Depends on DataType
.
DataType
: The type of data that you're expecting back from the server. If none is specified, jQuery will try to infer it based on the MIME type of the response. Can be text, xml, html, script, json, jsonp
.
VBA, if a string contains a certain letter
If you are looping through a lot of cells, use the binary function, it is much faster.
Using "<> 0" in place of "> 0" also makes it faster:
If InStrB(1, myString, "a", vbBinaryCompare) <> 0

What's the difference between compiled and interpreted language?
As other have said, compiled and interpreted are specific to an implementation of a programming language; they are not inherent in the language. For example, there are C interpreters.
However, we can (and in practice we do) classify programming languages based on its most common (sometimes canonical) implementation. For example, we say C is compiled.
First, we must define without ambiguity interpreters and compilers:
An interpreter for language X is a program
(or a machine, or just some kind of mechanism in general)
that executes any program p written in language X such that it performs the effects and evaluates the results as prescribed by the specification of X.
A compiler from X to Y is a program
(or a machine, or just some kind of mechanism in general)
that translates any program p from some language X into
a semantically equivalent program p' in some language Y in such a way that interpreting p' with an interpreter for Y will yield the same results and have the same effects as interpreting p with an interpreter for X.
Notice that from a programmer point of view, CPUs are machine interpreters for their respective native machine language.
Now, we can do a tentative classification of programming languages into 3 categories depending on its most common implementation:
- Hard Compiled languages: When the programs are compiled entirely to machine language. The only interpreter used is a CPU. Example: Usually, to run a program in C, the source code is compiled to machine language, which is then executed by a CPU.
- Interpreted languages: When there is no compilation of any part of the original program to machine language. In other words, no new machine code is generated; only existing machine code is executed. An interpreter other than the CPU must also be used (usually a program).Example: In the canonical implementation of Python, the source code is compiled first to Python bytecode and then that bytecode is executed by CPython, an interpreter program for Python bytecode.
- Soft Compiled languages: When an interpreter other than the CPU is used but also parts of the original program may be compiled to machine language. This is the case of Java, where the source code is compiled to bytecode first and then, the bytecode may be interpreted by the Java Interpreter and/or further compiled by the JIT compiler.
Sometimes, soft and hard compiled languages are refered to simply compiled, thus C#, Java, C, C++ are said to be compiled.
Within this categorization, JavaScript used to be an interpreted language, but that was many years ago. Nowadays, it is JIT-compiled to native machine language in most major JavaScript implementations so I would say that it falls into soft compiled languages.
Run Jquery function on window events: load, resize, and scroll?
just call your function inside the events.
load:
$(document).ready(function(){ // or $(window).load(function(){
topInViewport($(mydivname));
});
resize:
$(window).resize(function () {
topInViewport($(mydivname));
});
scroll:
$(window).scroll(function () {
topInViewport($(mydivname));
});
or bind all event in one function
$(window).on("load scroll resize",function(e){
Insert using LEFT JOIN and INNER JOIN
You have to be specific about the columns you are selecting. If your user
table had four columns id, name, username, opted_in
you must select exactly those four columns from the query. The syntax looks like:
INSERT INTO user (id, name, username, opted_in)
SELECT id, name, username, opted_in
FROM user LEFT JOIN user_permission AS userPerm ON user.id = userPerm.user_id
However, there does not appear to be any reason to join against user_permission
here, since none of the columns from that table would be inserted into user
. In fact, this INSERT
seems bound to fail with primary key uniqueness violations.
MySQL does not support inserts into multiple tables at the same time. You either need to perform two INSERT
statements in your code, using the last insert id from the first query, or create an AFTER INSERT
trigger on the primary table.
INSERT INTO user (name, username, email, opted_in) VALUES ('a','b','c',0);
/* Gets the id of the new row and inserts into the other table */
INSERT INTO user_permission (user_id, permission_id) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(), 4)
Or using a trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER creat_perms AFTER INSERT ON `user`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO user_permission (user_id, permission_id) VALUES (NEW.id, 4)
END
Java/Groovy - simple date reformatting
With Groovy, you don't need the includes, and can just do:
String oldDate = '04-DEC-2012'
Date date = Date.parse( 'dd-MMM-yyyy', oldDate )
String newDate = date.format( 'M-d-yyyy' )
println newDate
To print:
12-4-2012
Git commit -a "untracked files"?
git commit -am "msg"
is not same as git add file
and git commit -m "msg"
If you have some files which were never added to git tracking you still need to do git add file
The “git commit -a” command is a shortcut to a two-step process. After
you modify a file that is already known by the repo, you still have to
tell the repo, “Hey! I want to add this to the staged files and
eventually commit it to you.” That is done by issuing the “git add”
command. “git commit -a” is staging the file and committing it in one
step.
Source: "git commit -a" and "git add"
How can I set multiple CSS styles in JavaScript?
I just stumbled in here and I don't see why there is so much code required to achieve this.
Add your CSS code as a string.

_x000D_
let styles = `_x000D_
font-size:15em;_x000D_
color:red;_x000D_
transform:rotate(20deg)`_x000D_
_x000D_
document.querySelector('*').style = styles

How could I use requests in asyncio?
DISCLAMER: Following code creates different threads for each function.
This might be useful for some of the cases as it is simpler to use. But know that it is not async but gives illusion of async using multiple threads, even though decorator suggests that.
To make any function non blocking, simply copy the decorator and decorate any function with a callback function as parameter. The callback function will receive the data returned from the function.
import asyncio
import requests
def run_async(callback):
def inner(func):
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
def __exec():
out = func(*args, **kwargs)
callback(out)
return out
return asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(None, __exec)
return wrapper
return inner
def _callback(*args):
print(args)
# Must provide a callback function, callback func will be executed after the func completes execution !!
@run_async(_callback)
def get(url):
return requests.get(url)
get("https://google.com")
print("Non blocking code ran !!")

How to resolve Error listenerStart when deploying web-app in Tomcat 5.5?
I encountered this error when the JDK that I compiled the app under was different from the tomcat JVM. I verified that the Tomcat manager was running jvm 1.6.0 but the app was compiled under java 1.7.0.
After upgrading Java and changing JAVA_HOME in our startup script (/etc/init.d/tomcat) the error went away.
How to get maximum value from the Collection (for example ArrayList)?
package in.co.largestinarraylist;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class LargestInArrayList {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n;
ArrayList<Integer> L = new ArrayList<Integer>();
int max;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Size of Array List");
n = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("Enter elements in Array List");
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
L.add(in.nextInt());
}
max = L.get(0);
for (int i = 0; i < L.size(); i++) {
if (L.get(i) > max) {
max = L.get(i);
}
}
System.out.println("Max Element: " + max);
in.close();
}
}
Difference between <span> and <div> with text-align:center;?
A span tag is only as wide as its contents, so there is no 'center' of a span tag. There is no extra space on either side of the content.
A div tag, however, is as wide as its containing element, so the content of that div can be centered using any extra space that the content doesn't take up.
So if your div is 100px width and your content only takes 50px, the browser will divide the remaining 50px by 2 and pad 25px on each side of your content to center it.
How can I add a variable to console.log?
Both console.log("story" + name + "story")
and console.log("story", name, "story")
works just fine as mentioned in earlier answers.
I will still suggest of having a habit of console.log("story", name, "story")
, because, if trying to print the object contents, like json object, having "story" + objectVariable + "story"
will convert it into string.
This will have output like : "story" [object Object] "story"
.
Just a good practice.
Sending SMS from PHP
PHP by itself has no SMS module or functions and doesn't allow you to send SMS.
SMS ( Short Messaging System) is a GSM technology an you need a GSM provider that will provide this service for you and may have an PHP API implementation for it.
Usually people in telecom business use Asterisk to handle calls and sms programming.
How to implement band-pass Butterworth filter with Scipy.signal.butter
You could skip the use of buttord, and instead just pick an order for the filter and see if it meets your filtering criterion. To generate the filter coefficients for a bandpass filter, give butter() the filter order, the cutoff frequencies Wn=[low, high]
(expressed as the fraction of the Nyquist frequency, which is half the sampling frequency) and the band type btype="band"
.
Here's a script that defines a couple convenience functions for working with a Butterworth bandpass filter. When run as a script, it makes two plots. One shows the frequency response at several filter orders for the same sampling rate and cutoff frequencies. The other plot demonstrates the effect of the filter (with order=6) on a sample time series.
from scipy.signal import butter, lfilter
def butter_bandpass(lowcut, highcut, fs, order=5):
nyq = 0.5 * fs
low = lowcut / nyq
high = highcut / nyq
b, a = butter(order, [low, high], btype='band')
return b, a
def butter_bandpass_filter(data, lowcut, highcut, fs, order=5):
b, a = butter_bandpass(lowcut, highcut, fs, order=order)
y = lfilter(b, a, data)
return y
if __name__ == "__main__":
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.signal import freqz
# Sample rate and desired cutoff frequencies (in Hz).
fs = 5000.0
lowcut = 500.0
highcut = 1250.0
# Plot the frequency response for a few different orders.
plt.figure(1)
plt.clf()
for order in [3, 6, 9]:
b, a = butter_bandpass(lowcut, highcut, fs, order=order)
w, h = freqz(b, a, worN=2000)
plt.plot((fs * 0.5 / np.pi) * w, abs(h), label="order = %d" % order)
plt.plot([0, 0.5 * fs], [np.sqrt(0.5), np.sqrt(0.5)],
'--', label='sqrt(0.5)')
plt.xlabel('Frequency (Hz)')
plt.ylabel('Gain')
plt.grid(True)
plt.legend(loc='best')
# Filter a noisy signal.
T = 0.05
nsamples = T * fs
t = np.linspace(0, T, nsamples, endpoint=False)
a = 0.02
f0 = 600.0
x = 0.1 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * 1.2 * np.sqrt(t))
x += 0.01 * np.cos(2 * np.pi * 312 * t + 0.1)
x += a * np.cos(2 * np.pi * f0 * t + .11)
x += 0.03 * np.cos(2 * np.pi * 2000 * t)
plt.figure(2)
plt.clf()
plt.plot(t, x, label='Noisy signal')
y = butter_bandpass_filter(x, lowcut, highcut, fs, order=6)
plt.plot(t, y, label='Filtered signal (%g Hz)' % f0)
plt.xlabel('time (seconds)')
plt.hlines([-a, a], 0, T, linestyles='--')
plt.grid(True)
plt.axis('tight')
plt.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.show()
Here are the plots that are generated by this script:
What does the NS prefix mean?
It is the NextStep (= NS) heritage. NeXT was the computer company that Steve Jobs formed after he quit Apple in 1985, and NextStep was it's operating system (UNIX based) together with the Obj-C language and runtime. Together with it's libraries and tools, NextStep was later renamed OpenStep (which was also the name on an API that NeXT developed together with Sun), which in turn later became Cocoa.
These different names are actually quite confusing (especially since some of the names differs only in which characters are upper or lower case..), try this for an explanation:

jQuery checkbox check/uncheck
Use prop() instead of attr() to set the value of checked
. Also use :checkbox
in find method instead of input
and be specific.
Live Demo
$("#news_list tr").click(function() {
var ele = $(this).find('input');
if(ele.is(':checked')){
ele.prop('checked', false);
$(this).removeClass('admin_checked');
}else{
ele.prop('checked', true);
$(this).addClass('admin_checked');
}
});
Use prop instead of attr for properties like checked
As of jQuery 1.6, the .attr() method returns undefined for attributes
that have not been set. To retrieve and change DOM properties such as
the checked, selected, or disabled state of form elements, use the
.prop() method
sql primary key and index
Here the passage from the MSDN:
When you specify a PRIMARY KEY constraint for a table, the Database Engine enforces data uniqueness by creating a unique index for the primary key columns. This index also permits fast access to data when the primary key is used in queries. Therefore, the primary keys that are chosen must follow the rules for creating unique indexes.
Get SELECT's value and text in jQuery
on the basis of your only jQuery
tag :)
HTML
<select id="my-select">
<option value="1">This is text 1</option>
<option value="2">This is text 2</option>
<option value="3">This is text 3</option>
</select>
For text --
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#my-select").change(function() {
alert($('#my-select option:selected').html());
});
});
For value --
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#my-select").change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
});
});
Android canvas draw rectangle
Create a new class MyView, Which extends View
. Override the onDraw(Canvas canvas)
method to draw rectangle on Canvas
.
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
public class MyView extends View {
Paint paint;
Path path;
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init();
}
private void init(){
paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawRect(30, 50, 200, 350, paint);
canvas.drawRect(100, 100, 300, 400, paint);
//drawRect(left, top, right, bottom, paint)
}
}
Then Move your Java activity to setContentView()
using our custom View, MyView.Call this way.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(new MyView(this));
}

What is the purpose of global.asax in asp.net
The root directory of a web application has a special significance and certain content can be present on in that folder.
It can have a special file called as “Global.asax”. ASP.Net framework uses the content in the global.asax and creates a
class at runtime which is inherited from HttpApplication.
During the lifetime of an application, ASP.NET maintains a pool of Global.asax derived HttpApplication instances. When
an application receives an http request, the ASP.Net page framework assigns one of these instances to process that
request. That instance is responsible for managing the entire lifetime of the request it is assigned to and the instance
can only be reused after the request has been completed when it is returned to the pool.
The instance members in Global.asax cannot be used for sharing data across requests but static member can be.
Global.asax can contain the event handlers of HttpApplication object and some other important methods which
would execute at various points in a web application
Sorting a tab delimited file
Lars Haugseth answer only worked from the command line for me where it gives this error if executed from a shell script:
sort: multi-character tab ‘$\t’
The solution if it's coded in a shell script if anyone's looking is
sort -t' '
the tab character is in between the quote.
Set color of TextView span in Android
If you want more control, you might want to check the TextPaint
class. Here is how to use it:
final ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(final View textView) {
//Your onClick code here
}
@Override
public void updateDrawState(final TextPaint textPaint) {
textPaint.setColor(yourContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.orange));
textPaint.setUnderlineText(true);
}
};
