Visual Studio debugging/loading very slow

In my case it was

Tools/Options/Debugging/General/Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET (Chrome and IE)

Once I unchecked this, my debug start went from 45-60 seconds down to 0-5 seconds.

Remove table row after clicking table row delete button

Following solution is working fine.

HTML:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="button" value="Delete Row" onclick="SomeDeleteRowFunction(this);">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="button" value="Delete Row" onclick="SomeDeleteRowFunction(this);">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="button" value="Delete Row" onclick="SomeDeleteRowFunction(this);">
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

JQuery:

function SomeDeleteRowFunction(btndel) {
    if (typeof(btndel) == "object") {
        $(btndel).closest("tr").remove();
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

How can I specify the default JVM arguments for programs I run from eclipse?

Yes, right click the project. Click Run as then Run Configurations. You can change the parameters passed to the JVM in the Arguments tab in the VM Arguments box.

That configuration can then be used as the default when running the project.

How can I switch views programmatically in a view controller? (Xcode, iPhone)

#import "YourViewController.h"

To push a view including the navigation bar and/or tab bar:

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"YourStoryboard" bundle:nil];
YourViewController *viewController = (YourViewcontroller *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"YourViewControllerIdentifier"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];

To set identifier to a view controller, Open YourStoryboard.storyboard. Select YourViewController View-> Utilities -> ShowIdentityInspector. There you can specify the identifier.

Accessing SQL Database in Excel-VBA

I'm sitting at a computer with none of the relevant bits of software, but from memory that code looks wrong. You're executing the command but discarding the RecordSet that objMyCommand.Execute returns.

I'd do:

Set objMyRecordset = objMyCommand.Execute

...and then lose the "open recordset" part.

Correct way to initialize HashMap and can HashMap hold different value types?

Eclipse is recommending that you declare the type of the HashMap because that enforces some type safety. Of course, it sounds like you're trying to avoid type safety from your second part.

If you want to do the latter, try declaring map as HashMap<String,Object>.

How to give ASP.NET access to a private key in a certificate in the certificate store?

Note on granting permissions via MMC, Certs, Select Cert, right-click, all-tasks, "Manage Private Keys"

Manage Private Keys is only on the menu list for Personal... So if you've put your cert in Trusted People, etc. you're out of luck.

We found a way around this which worked for us. Drag and drop the cert to Personal, do the Manage Private Keys thing to grant permissions. Remember to set to use object-type built-ins and use the local machine not domain. We granted rights to the DefaultAppPool user and left it at that.

Once you're done, drag and drop the cert back where ever you originally had it. Presto.

Increase permgen space

On Debian-like distributions you set that in /etc/default/tomcat[67]

Why es6 react component works only with "export default"?

Exporting without default means it's a "named export". You can have multiple named exports in a single file. So if you do this,

class Template {}
class AnotherTemplate {}

export { Template, AnotherTemplate }

then you have to import these exports using their exact names. So to use these components in another file you'd have to do,

import {Template, AnotherTemplate} from './components/templates'

Alternatively if you export as the default export like this,

export default class Template {}

Then in another file you import the default export without using the {}, like this,

import Template from './components/templates'

There can only be one default export per file. In React it's a convention to export one component from a file, and to export it is as the default export.

You're free to rename the default export as you import it,

import TheTemplate from './components/templates'

And you can import default and named exports at the same time,

import Template,{AnotherTemplate} from './components/templates'

Copy all values in a column to a new column in a pandas dataframe

You can simply assign the B to the new column , Like -

df['D'] = df['B']

Example/Demo -

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame([['a.1','b.1','c.1'],['a.2','b.2','c.2'],['a.3','b.3','c.3']],columns=['A','B','C'])

In [3]: df
Out[3]:
     A    B    C
0  a.1  b.1  c.1
1  a.2  b.2  c.2
2  a.3  b.3  c.3

In [4]: df['D'] = df['B']                  #<---What you want.

In [5]: df
Out[5]:
     A    B    C    D
0  a.1  b.1  c.1  b.1
1  a.2  b.2  c.2  b.2
2  a.3  b.3  c.3  b.3

In [6]: df.loc[0,'D'] = 'd.1'

In [7]: df
Out[7]:
     A    B    C    D
0  a.1  b.1  c.1  d.1
1  a.2  b.2  c.2  b.2
2  a.3  b.3  c.3  b.3

How to do tag wrapping in VS code?

As I can't comment, I'll expand on Alex's fantastic answer.

If you want the Sublime-like experience with wrapping open up the Keymap Extensions (Preferences > Keymap Extensions [Cmd+K Cmd+M]) and add the following object:

{
    "key": "alt+w",
    "command": "editor.emmet.action.wrapIndividualLinesWithAbbreviation",
    "when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus"
}

Which will bind the Emmet wrap command to Alt+W when text is selected

(Sorry for OSX only instructions)

What is the difference between .yaml and .yml extension?

As @David Heffeman indicates the recommendation is to use .yaml when possible, and the recommendation has been that way since September 2006.

That some projects use .yml is mostly because of ignorance of the implementers/documenters: they wanted to use YAML because of readability, or some other feature not available in other formats, were not familiar with the recommendation and and just implemented what worked, maybe after looking at some other project/library (without questioning whether what was done is correct).

The best way to approach this is to be rigorous when creating new files (i.e. use .yaml) and be permissive when accepting input (i.e. allow .yml when you encounter it), possible automatically upgrading/correcting these errors when possible.

The other recommendation I have is to document the argument(s) why you have to use .yml, when you think you have to. That way you don't look like an ignoramus, and give others the opportunity to understand your reasoning. Of course "everybody else is doing it" and "On Google .yml has more pages than .yaml" are not arguments, they are just statistics about the popularity of project(s) that have it wrong or right (with regards to the extension of YAML files). You can try to prove that some projects are popular, just because they use a .yml extension instead of the correct .yaml, but I think you will be hard pressed to do so.

Some projects realize (too late) that they use the incorrect extension (e.g. originally docker-compose used .yml, but in later versions started to use .yaml, although they still support .yml). Others still seem ignorant about the correct extension, like AppVeyor early 2019, but allow you to specify the configuration file for a project, including extension. This allows you to get the configuration file out of your face as well as giving it the proper extension: I use .appveyor.yaml instead of appveyor.yml for building the windows wheels of my YAML parser for Python).


On the other hand:

The Yaml (sic!) component of Symfony2 implements a selected subset of features defined in the YAML 1.2 version specification.

So it seems fitting that they also use a subset of the recommended extension.

What to use now Google News API is deprecated?

Looks like you might have until the end of 2013 before they officially close it down. http://groups.google.com/group/google-ajax-search-api/browse_thread/thread/6aaa1b3529620610/d70f8eec3684e431?lnk=gst&q=news+api#d70f8eec3684e431

Also, it sounds like they are building a replacement... but it's going to cost you.

I'd say, go to a different service. I think bing has a news API.

Empty responseText from XMLHttpRequest

PROBLEM RESOLVED

In my case the problem was that I do the ajax call (with $.ajax, $.get or $.getJSON methods from jQuery) with full path in the url param:

url: "http://mydomain.com/site/cgi-bin/serverApp.php"

But the correct way is to pass the value of url as:

url: "site/cgi-bin/serverApp.php"

Some browser don't conflict and make no distiction between one text or another, but in Firefox 3.6 for Mac OS take this full path as "cross site scripting"... another thing, in the same browser there is a distinction between:

http://mydomain.com/site/index.html

And put

http://www.mydomain.com/site/index.html

In fact it is the correct point view, but most implementations make no distinction, so the solution was to remove all the text that specify the full path to the script in the methods that do the ajax request AND.... remove any BASE tag in the index.html file

base href="http://mydomain.com/" <--- bad idea, remove it!

If you don't remove it, this version of browser for this system may take your ajax request like if it is a cross site request!

I have the same problem but only on the Mac OS machine. The problem is that Firefox treat the ajax response as an "cross site" call, in any other machine/browser it works fine. I didn't found any help about this (I think that is a firefox implementation issue), but I'm going to prove the next code at the server side:

header('Content-type: application/json');

to ensure that browser get the data as "json data" ...

Logging levels - Logback - rule-of-thumb to assign log levels

I mostly build large scale, high availability type systems, so my answer is biased towards looking at it from a production support standpoint; that said, we assign roughly as follows:

  • error: the system is in distress, customers are probably being affected (or will soon be) and the fix probably requires human intervention. The "2AM rule" applies here- if you're on call, do you want to be woken up at 2AM if this condition happens? If yes, then log it as "error".

  • warn: an unexpected technical or business event happened, customers may be affected, but probably no immediate human intervention is required. On call people won't be called immediately, but support personnel will want to review these issues asap to understand what the impact is. Basically any issue that needs to be tracked but may not require immediate intervention.

  • info: things we want to see at high volume in case we need to forensically analyze an issue. System lifecycle events (system start, stop) go here. "Session" lifecycle events (login, logout, etc.) go here. Significant boundary events should be considered as well (e.g. database calls, remote API calls). Typical business exceptions can go here (e.g. login failed due to bad credentials). Any other event you think you'll need to see in production at high volume goes here.

  • debug: just about everything that doesn't make the "info" cut... any message that is helpful in tracking the flow through the system and isolating issues, especially during the development and QA phases. We use "debug" level logs for entry/exit of most non-trivial methods and marking interesting events and decision points inside methods.

  • trace: we don't use this often, but this would be for extremely detailed and potentially high volume logs that you don't typically want enabled even during normal development. Examples include dumping a full object hierarchy, logging some state during every iteration of a large loop, etc.

As or more important than choosing the right log levels is ensuring that the logs are meaningful and have the needed context. For example, you'll almost always want to include the thread ID in the logs so you can follow a single thread if needed. You may also want to employ a mechanism to associate business info (e.g. user ID) to the thread so it gets logged as well. In your log message, you'll want to include enough info to ensure the message can be actionable. A log like " FileNotFound exception caught" is not very helpful. A better message is "FileNotFound exception caught while attempting to open config file: /usr/local/app/somefile.txt. userId=12344."

There are also a number of good logging guides out there... for example, here's an edited snippet from JCL (Jakarta Commons Logging):

  • error - Other runtime errors or unexpected conditions. Expect these to be immediately visible on a status console.
  • warn - Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong". Expect these to be immediately visible on a status console.
  • info - Interesting runtime events (startup/shutdown). Expect these to be immediately visible on a console, so be conservative and keep to a minimum.
  • debug - detailed information on the flow through the system. Expect these to be written to logs only.
  • trace - more detailed information. Expect these to be written to logs only.

Get a list of numbers as input from the user

try this one ,

n=int(raw_input("Enter length of the list"))
l1=[]
for i in range(n):
    a=raw_input()
    if(a.isdigit()):
        l1.insert(i,float(a)) #statement1
    else:
        l1.insert(i,a)        #statement2

If the element of the list is just a number the statement 1 will get executed and if it is a string then statement 2 will be executed. In the end you will have an list l1 as you needed.

Easiest way to convert int to string in C++

It's rather easy to add some syntactical sugar that allows one to compose strings on the fly in a stream-like way

#include <string>
#include <sstream>

struct strmake {
    std::stringstream s;
    template <typename T> strmake& operator << (const T& x) {
        s << x; return *this;
    }   
    operator std::string() {return s.str();}
};

Now you may append whatever you want (provided that an operator << (std::ostream& ..) is defined for it) to strmake() and use it in place of an std::string.

Example:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::string x =
      strmake() << "Current time is " << 5+5 << ":" << 5*5 << " GST";
    std::cout << x << std::endl;
}

Keep only date part when using pandas.to_datetime

This is a simple way to extract the date:

import pandas as pd

d='2015-01-08 22:44:09' 
date=pd.to_datetime(d).date()
print(date)

Http Servlet request lose params from POST body after read it once

you can use servlet filter chain, but instead use the original one, you can create your own request yourownrequests extends HttpServletRequestWrapper.

How to remove multiple indexes from a list at the same time?

If they're contiguous, you can just do

x[2:6] = []

If you want to remove noncontiguous indexes, it's a little trickier.

x = [v for i,v in enumerate(x) if i not in frozenset((2,3,4,5))] 

Express.js req.body undefined

The middleware is always used as first.

//MIDDLEWARE
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cors());    
app.use(cookieParser());

before the routes.

//MY ROUTES
app.use("/api", authRoutes);

Can we install Android OS on any Windows Phone and vice versa, and same with iPhone and vice versa?

Android needs to be compiled for every hardware plattform / every device model seperatly with the specific drivers etc. If you manage to do that you need also break the security arrangements every manufacturer implements to prevent the installation of other software - these are also different between each model / manufacturer. So it is possible at in theory, but only there :-)

SQL Server: Invalid Column Name

There can be many things:
First attempt, make a select of this field in its source table;
Check the instance of the sql script window, you may be in a different instance;
Check if your join is correct;
Verify query ambiguity, maybe you are making a wrong table reference
Of these checks, run the T-sql script again

Temporarily switch working copy to a specific Git commit

In addition to the other answers here showing you how to git checkout <the-hash-you-want> it's worth knowing you can switch back to where you were using:

git checkout @{-1}

This is often more convenient than:

git checkout what-was-that-original-branch-called-again-question-mark

As you might anticipate, git checkout @{-2} will take you back to the branch you were at two git checkouts ago, and similarly for other numbers. If you can remember where you were for bigger numbers, you should get some kind of medal for that.


Sadly for productivity, git checkout @{1} does not take you to the branch you will be on in future, which is a shame.

How to pass List<String> in post method using Spring MVC?

You can pass input as ["apple","orange"]if you want to leave the method as it is.

It worked for me with a similar method signature.

How do I write a "tab" in Python?

It's usually \t in command-line interfaces, which will convert the char \t into the whitespace tab character.

For example, hello\talex -> hello--->alex.

Undefined Symbols for architecture x86_64: Compiling problems

There's no mystery here, the linker is telling you that you haven't defined the missing symbols, and you haven't.

Similarity::Similarity() or Similarity::~Similarity() are just missing and you have defined the others incorrectly,

void Similarity::readData(Scanner& inStream){
}

not

void readData(Scanner& inStream){
}

etc. etc.

The second one is a function called readData, only the first is the readData method of the Similarity class.

To be clear about this, in Similarity.h

void readData(Scanner& inStream);

but in Similarity.cpp

void Similarity::readData(Scanner& inStream){
}

Get row-index values of Pandas DataFrame as list?

To get the index values as a list/list of tuples for Index/MultiIndex do:

df.index.values.tolist()  # an ndarray method, you probably shouldn't depend on this

or

list(df.index.values)  # this will always work in pandas

Get Mouse Position

If you're using Swing as your UI layer, you can use a Mouse-Motion Listener for this.

CSS Input with width: 100% goes outside parent's bound

Padding is added to the overall width. Because your container has a pixel width, you are better off giving the inputs a pixel width too, but remember to remove the padding and border from the width you set to avoid the same issue.

How to initialize an array in Java?

Syntax

 Datatype[] variable = new Datatype[] { value1,value2.... }

 Datatype variable[]  = new Datatype[] { value1,value2.... }

Example :

int [] points = new int[]{ 1,2,3,4 };

Python: Checking if a 'Dictionary' is empty doesn't seem to work

Simple ways to check an empty dict are below:

        a= {}

    1. if a == {}:
           print ('empty dict')
    2. if not a:
           print ('empty dict')

Although method 1st is more strict as when a = None, method 1 will provide correct result but method 2 will give an incorrect result.

How can I read Chrome Cache files?

It was removed on purpose and it won't be coming back.

Both chrome://cache and chrome://view-http-cache have been removed starting chrome 66. They work in version 65.

Workaround

You can check the chrome://chrome-urls/ for complete list of internal Chrome URLs.

The only workaround that comes into my mind is to use menu/more tools/developer tools and having a Network tab selected.

The reason why it was removed is this bug:

The discussion:

"git pull" or "git merge" between master and development branches

Be careful with rebase. If you're sharing your develop branch with anybody, rebase can make a mess of things. Rebase is good only for your own local branches.

Rule of thumb, if you've pushed the branch to origin, don't use rebase. Instead, use merge.

How do you make a LinearLayout scrollable?

<ScrollView 
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/scroll" 
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content">

      <LinearLayout 
            android:id="@+id/container"
            android:orientation="vertical" 
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
      </LinearLayout>

 </ScrollView>

A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at 1 [character 2 line 1] with '{' error

I had the same error and struggled to fix it, then answer above by Nagaraja JB helped me to fix it. In my case:

Was before: JSONObject response_json = new JSONObject(response_data);

Changed it to: JSONArray response_json = new JSONArray(response_data);

This fixed it.

How to customize the back button on ActionBar

The "up" affordance indicator is provided by a drawable specified in the homeAsUpIndicator attribute of the theme. To override it with your own custom version it would be something like this:

<style name="Theme.MyFancyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo">
    <item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/my_fancy_up_indicator</item>
</style>

If you are supporting pre-3.0 with your application be sure you put this version of the custom theme in values-v11 or similar.

Fragment pressing back button

This worked for me.

-Add .addToBackStack(null) when you call the new fragment from activity.

    FragmentTransaction mFragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager()
                .beginTransaction();
    ....
    mFragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

-Add onBackPressed() to your activity

    @Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
        this.finish();
    } else {
        getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
    }
}

How to add element to C++ array?

Use a vector:

#include <vector>

void foo() {
    std::vector <int> v;
    v.push_back( 1 );       // equivalent to v[0] = 1
}

What is the newline character in the C language: \r or \n?

It's \n. When you're reading or writing text mode files, or to stdin/stdout etc, you must use \n, and C will handle the translation for you. When you're dealing with binary files, by definition you are on your own.

CMake link to external library

One more alternative, in the case you are working with the Appstore, need "Entitlements" and as such need to link with an Apple-Framework.

For Entitlements to work (e.g. GameCenter) you need to have a "Link Binary with Libraries"-buildstep and then link with "GameKit.framework". CMake "injects" the libraries on a "low level" into the commandline, hence Xcode doesn't really know about it, and as such you will not get GameKit enabled in the Capabilities screen.

One way to use CMake and have a "Link with Binaries"-buildstep is to generate the xcodeproj with CMake, and then use 'sed' to 'search & replace' and add the GameKit in the way XCode likes it...

The script looks like this (for Xcode 6.3.1).

save this to "gamecenter.sed" and then "apply" it like this ( it changes your xcodeproj! )

sed -i.pbxprojbak -f gamecenter.sed myproject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

You might have to change the script-commands to fit your need.

Warning: it's likely to break with different Xcode-version as the project-format could change, the (hardcoded) unique number might not really by unique - and generally the solutions by other people are better - so unless you need to Support the Appstore + Entitlements (and automated builds), don't do this.

This is a CMake bug, see http://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14185 and http://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/14185

Sublime Text 3 how to change the font size of the file sidebar?

The answers are omitting the square brackets, in the case one is creating the file from scratch.

To recap, for the ST3 users who don't have the Default.sublime-theme file (which is actually the default configuration), the simplest procedure is:

  1. Navigate to Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Browse Packages
  2. Open the User directory
  3. Create a file named Default.sublime-theme (if you're using the default theme, otherwise use the theme name, e.g. Material-Theme-Darker.sublime-theme) with the following content (modify font.size as required):

[
    {
        "class": "sidebar_label",
        "color": [0, 0, 0],
        "font.bold": false,
        "font.size": 12
    },
]

For reference, here there is the full file (as found in ST2).

Circle drawing with SVG's arc path

Another way would be to use two Cubic Bezier Curves. That's for iOS folks using pocketSVG which doesn't recognize svg arc parameter.

C x1 y1, x2 y2, x y (or c dx1 dy1, dx2 dy2, dx dy)

Cubic Bezier curve

The last set of coordinates here (x,y) are where you want the line to end. The other two are control points. (x1,y1) is the control point for the start of your curve, and (x2,y2) for the end point of your curve.

<path d="M25,0 C60,0, 60,50, 25,50 C-10,50, -10,0, 25,0" />

How to concat a string to xsl:value-of select="...?

Three Answers :

Simple :

<img>
    <xsl:attribute name="src">
        <xsl:value-of select="//your/xquery/path"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="'vmLogo.gif'"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
</img>

Using 'concat' :

<img>
    <xsl:attribute name="src">
        <xsl:value-of select="concat(//your/xquery/path,'vmLogo.gif')"/>                    
    </xsl:attribute>
</img>

Attribute shortcut as suggested by @TimC

<img src="{concat(//your/xquery/path,'vmLogo.gif')}" />

linux shell script: split string, put them in an array then loop through them

If you don't wish to mess with IFS (perhaps for the code within the loop) this might help.

If know that your string will not have whitespace, you can substitute the ';' with a space and use the for/in construct:

#local str
for str in ${STR//;/ } ; do 
   echo "+ \"$str\""
done

But if you might have whitespace, then for this approach you will need to use a temp variable to hold the "rest" like this:

#local str rest
rest=$STR
while [ -n "$rest" ] ; do
   str=${rest%%;*}  # Everything up to the first ';'
   # Trim up to the first ';' -- and handle final case, too.
   [ "$rest" = "${rest/;/}" ] && rest= || rest=${rest#*;}
   echo "+ \"$str\""
done

Execute an action when an item on the combobox is selected

The simple solution would be to use a ItemListener. When the state changes, you would simply check the currently selected item and set the text accordingly

A better solution would be to create a custom object that represents the value to be displayed and the value associated with it...

The right way of setting <a href=""> when it's a local file

By definition, file: URLs are system-dependent, and they have little use. A URL as in your example works when used locally, i.e. the linking page itself is in the user’s computer. But browsers generally refuse to follow file: links on a page that it has fetched with the HTTP protocol, so that the page's own URL is an http: URL. When you click on such a link, nothing happens. The purpose is presumably security: to prevent a remote page from accessing files in the visitor’s computer. (I think this feature was first implemented in Mozilla, then copied to other browsers.)

So if you work with HTML documents in your computer, the file: URLs should work, though there are system-dependent issues in their syntax (how you write path names and file names in such a URL).

If you really need to work with an HTML document on your computers and another HTML document on a web server, the way to make links work is to use the local file as primary and, if needed, use client-side scripting to fetch the document from the server,

How can I give the Intellij compiler more heap space?

In my case the error was caused by the insufficient memory allocated to the "test" lifecycle of maven. It was fixed by adding <argLine>-Xms3512m -Xmx3512m</argLine> to:

<pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.16</version>
        <configuration>
            <argLine>-Xms3512m -Xmx3512m</argLine>

Thanks @crazycoder for pointing this out (and also that it is not related to IntelliJ; in this case).

If your tests are forked, they run in a new JVM that doesn't inherit Maven JVM options. Custom memory options must be provided via the test runner in pom.xml, refer to Maven documentation for details, it has very little to do with the IDE.

Apply global variable to Vuejs

In your main.js file, you have to import Vue like this :

import Vue from 'vue'

Then you have to declare your global variable in the main.js file like this :

Vue.prototype.$actionButton = 'Not Approved'

If you want to change the value of the global variable from another component, you can do it like this :

Vue.prototype.$actionButton = 'approved'

_x000D_
<select name="select1" onmousedown="if(this.options.length>8){this.size=8;}"  onchange='this.size=0;' onblur="this.size=0;">_x000D_
             <option value="1">This is select number 1</option>_x000D_
             <option value="2">This is select number 2</option>_x000D_
             <option value="3">This is select number 3</option>_x000D_
             <option value="4">This is select number 4</option>_x000D_
             <option value="5">This is select number 5</option>_x000D_
             <option value="6">This is select number 6</option>_x000D_
             <option value="7">This is select number 7</option>_x000D_
             <option value="8">This is select number 8</option>_x000D_
             <option value="9">This is select number 9</option>_x000D_
             <option value="10">This is select number 10</option>_x000D_
             <option value="11">This is select number 11</option>_x000D_
             <option value="12">This is select number 12</option>_x000D_
           </select>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How do you add Boost libraries in CMakeLists.txt?

Try as saying Boost documentation:

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS        ON)  # only find static libs
set(Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS         OFF) # ignore debug libs and 
set(Boost_USE_RELEASE_LIBS       ON)  # only find release libs 
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF) 
find_package(Boost 1.66.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem system ...)
if(Boost_FOUND)   
    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    add_executable(foo foo.cc)   
    target_link_libraries(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif()

Don't forget to replace foo to your project name and components to yours!

How to position absolute inside a div?

The absolute divs are taken out of the flow of the document so the containing div does not have any content except for the padding. Give #box a height to fill it out.

#box {
    background-color: #000;
    position: relative;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 220px;
    height:30px;
}

How to customize a Spinner in Android

Try this

i was facing lot of issues when i was trying other solution...... After lot of R&D now i got solution

  1. create custom_spinner.xml in layout folder and paste this code

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

    spinner.setAdapter(new SpinnerAdapter(this, R.layout.custom_spinner, years));
    
  3. create a new class of adapter

    public class SpinnerAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
    private String[] objects;
    
    public SpinnerAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);

How can I find out what version of git I'm running?

$ git --version

Get free disk space

I wanted a similar method for my project but in my case the input paths were either from local disk volumes or clustered storage volumes (CSVs). So DriveInfo class did not work for me. CSVs have a mount point under another drive, typically C:\ClusterStorage\Volume*. Note that C: will be a different Volume than C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1

This is what I finally came up with:

    public static ulong GetFreeSpaceOfPathInBytes(string path)
    {
        if ((new Uri(path)).IsUnc)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException("Cannot find free space for UNC path " + path);
        }

        ulong freeSpace = 0;
        int prevVolumeNameLength = 0;

        foreach (ManagementObject volume in
                new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_Volume").Get())
        {
            if (UInt32.Parse(volume["DriveType"].ToString()) > 1 &&                             // Is Volume monuted on host
                volume["Name"] != null &&                                                       // Volume has a root directory
                path.StartsWith(volume["Name"].ToString(), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)  // Required Path is under Volume's root directory 
                )
            {
                // If multiple volumes have their root directory matching the required path,
                // one with most nested (longest) Volume Name is given preference.
                // Case: CSV volumes monuted under other drive volumes.

                int currVolumeNameLength = volume["Name"].ToString().Length;

                if ((prevVolumeNameLength == 0 || currVolumeNameLength > prevVolumeNameLength) &&
                    volume["FreeSpace"] != null
                    )
                {
                    freeSpace = ulong.Parse(volume["FreeSpace"].ToString());
                    prevVolumeNameLength = volume["Name"].ToString().Length;
                }
            }
        }

        if (prevVolumeNameLength > 0)
        {
            return freeSpace;
        }

        throw new Exception("Could not find Volume Information for path " + path);
    }

gdb: "No symbol table is loaded"

Whenever gcc on the compilation machine and gdb on the testing machine have differing versions, you may be facing debuginfo format incompatibility.

To fix that, try downgrading the debuginfo format:

gcc -gdwarf-3 ...
gcc -gdwarf-2 ...
gcc -gstabs ...
gcc -gstabs+ ...
gcc -gcoff ...
gcc -gxcoff ...
gcc -gxcoff+ ...

Or match gdb to the gcc you're using.

How can I drop all the tables in a PostgreSQL database?

You need to drop tables and sequences, here is what worked for me

psql -qAtX -c "select 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ' || quote_ident(table_schema) || '.' || quote_ident(table_name) || ' CASCADE;' FROM information_schema.tables where table_type = 'BASE TABLE' and not table_schema ~ '^(information_schema|pg_.*)$'" | psql -qAtX
psql -qAtX -c "select 'DROP SEQUENCE IF EXISTS ' || quote_ident(relname) || ' CASCADE;' from pg_statio_user_sequences;" | psql -qAtX

before you run the command you might need to sudo/su to the postgres user or (export connection details PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER and PGPASSWORD) and then export PGDATABASE=yourdatabase

Format a JavaScript string using placeholders and an object of substitutions?

If you want to do something closer to console.log like replacing %s placeholders like in

>console.log("Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?", "Loreto", "today", "allright")
>Hello Loreto how are you today is everything allright?

I wrote this

_x000D_
_x000D_
function log() {_x000D_
  var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);_x000D_
  var rep= args.slice(1, args.length);_x000D_
  var i=0;_x000D_
  var output = args[0].replace(/%s/g, function(match,idx) {_x000D_
    var subst=rep.slice(i, ++i);_x000D_
    return( subst );_x000D_
  });_x000D_
   return(output);_x000D_
}_x000D_
res=log("Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?", "Loreto", "today", "allright");_x000D_
document.getElementById("console").innerHTML=res;
_x000D_
<span id="console"/>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

you will get

>log("Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?", "Loreto", "today", "allright")
>"Hello Loreto how are you today is everything allright?"

UPDATE

I have added a simple variant as String.prototype useful when dealing with string transformations, here is it:

String.prototype.log = function() {
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    var rep= args.slice(0, args.length);
    var i=0;
    var output = this.replace(/%s|%d|%f|%@/g, function(match,idx) {
      var subst=rep.slice(i, ++i);
      return( subst );
    });
    return output;
   }

In that case you will do

"Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?".log("Loreto", "today", "allright")
"Hello Loreto how are you today is everything allright?"

Angular @ViewChild() error: Expected 2 arguments, but got 1

isset PHP isset($_GET['something']) ? $_GET['something'] : ''

That's called a ternary operator and it's mainly used in place of an if-else statement.

In the example you gave it can be used to retrieve a value from an array given isset returns true

isset($_GET['something']) ? $_GET['something'] : ''

is equivalent to

if (isset($_GET['something'])) {
  $_GET['something'];
} else {
  '';
}

Of course it's not much use unless you assign it to something, and possibly even assign a default value for a user submitted value.

$username = isset($_GET['username']) ? $_GET['username'] : 'anonymous'

Javascript extends class

Take a look at Simple JavaScript Inheritance and Inheritance Patterns in JavaScript.

The simplest method is probably functional inheritance but there are pros and cons.

How do I get an OAuth 2.0 authentication token in C#

The Rest Client answer is perfect! (I upvoted it)

But, just in case you want to go "raw"

..........

I got this to work with HttpClient.

/*
.nuget\packages\newtonsoft.json\12.0.1
.nuget\packages\system.net.http\4.3.4
*/

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web;


    private static async Task<Token> GetElibilityToken(HttpClient client)
    {
        string baseAddress = @"https://blah.blah.blah.com/oauth2/token";

        string grant_type = "client_credentials";
        string client_id = "myId";
        string client_secret = "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhItsSecret";

        var form = new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    {"grant_type", grant_type},
                    {"client_id", client_id},
                    {"client_secret", client_secret},
                };

        HttpResponseMessage tokenResponse = await client.PostAsync(baseAddress, new FormUrlEncodedContent(form));
        var jsonContent = await tokenResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        Token tok = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Token>(jsonContent);
        return tok;
    }


internal class Token
{
    [JsonProperty("access_token")]
    public string AccessToken { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("token_type")]
    public string TokenType { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("expires_in")]
    public int ExpiresIn { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("refresh_token")]
    public string RefreshToken { get; set; }
}       

Here is another working example (based off the answer above)......with a few more tweaks. Sometimes the token-service is finicky:

    private static async Task<Token> GetATokenToTestMyRestApiUsingHttpClient(HttpClient client)
    {
        /* this code has lots of commented out stuff with different permutations of tweaking the request  */

        /* this is a version of asking for token using HttpClient.  aka, an alternate to using default libraries instead of RestClient */

        OAuthValues oav = GetOAuthValues(); /* object has has simple string properties for TokenUrl, GrantType, ClientId and ClientSecret */

        var form = new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    { "grant_type", oav.GrantType },
                    { "client_id", oav.ClientId },
                    { "client_secret", oav.ClientSecret }
                };

        /* now tweak the http client */
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear();
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("cache-control", "no-cache");

        /* try 1 */
        ////client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

        /* try 2 */
        ////client.DefaultRequestHeaders            .Accept            .Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));//ACCEPT header

        /* try 3 */
        ////does not compile */client.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

        ////application/x-www-form-urlencoded

        HttpRequestMessage req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, oav.TokenUrl);
        /////req.RequestUri = new Uri(baseAddress);

        req.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(form);

        ////string jsonPayload = "{\"grant_type\":\"" + oav.GrantType + "\",\"client_id\":\"" + oav.ClientId + "\",\"client_secret\":\"" + oav.ClientSecret + "\"}";
        ////req.Content = new StringContent(jsonPayload,                                                Encoding.UTF8,                                                "application/json");//CONTENT-TYPE header

        req.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

        /* now make the request */
        ////HttpResponseMessage tokenResponse = await client.PostAsync(baseAddress, new FormUrlEncodedContent(form));
        HttpResponseMessage tokenResponse = await client.SendAsync(req);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("HttpResponseMessage.ReasonPhrase='{0}'", tokenResponse.ReasonPhrase));

        if (!tokenResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            throw new HttpRequestException("Call to get Token with HttpClient failed.");
        }

        var jsonContent = await tokenResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        Token tok = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Token>(jsonContent);

        return tok;
    }

I recently found (Jan/2020) an article about all this. I'll add a link here....sometimes having 2 different people show/explain it helps someone trying to learn it.

momentJS date string add 5 days

The function add() returns the old date, but changes the original date :)

startdate = "20.03.2014";
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD.MM.YYYY");
new_date.add(5, 'days');
alert(new_date);

Remove all special characters from a string

This should do what you're looking for:

function clean($string) {
   $string = str_replace(' ', '-', $string); // Replaces all spaces with hyphens.

   return preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $string); // Removes special chars.
}

Usage:

echo clean('a|"bc!@£de^&$f g');

Will output: abcdef-g

Edit:

Hey, just a quick question, how can I prevent multiple hyphens from being next to each other? and have them replaced with just 1?

function clean($string) {
   $string = str_replace(' ', '-', $string); // Replaces all spaces with hyphens.
   $string = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $string); // Removes special chars.

   return preg_replace('/-+/', '-', $string); // Replaces multiple hyphens with single one.
}

How to call code behind server method from a client side JavaScript function?

In my projects, we usually call server side method like this:

in JavaScript:

document.getElementById("UploadButton").click();

Server side control:

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="UploadButton" Text="" style="display:none;" OnClick="UploadButton_Click" />

C#:

protected void Upload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

How to trigger a phone call when clicking a link in a web page on mobile phone

Want to add an answer here for the sake of completeness.

<a href="tel:1234567">Call 123-4567</a>

Works just fine on most devices. However, on desktops this will appear as a link which does nothing when you click on it so you should consider using CSS to make it conditionally visible only on mobile devices.

Also, you should know that Skype (which is fairly popular) uses a different syntax by default (but can be parametered to use tel:).

<a href="callto:1234567">Call 123-4567</a>

However, I think in latest mobile browsers (I know for sure on Android) now the tel syntax should offer a popup of available applications that can be used to complete the calling action.

Java - how do I write a file to a specified directory

Just put the full directory location in the File object.

File file = new File("z:\\results.txt");

What are the main performance differences between varchar and nvarchar SQL Server data types?

If you are using NVARCHAR just because a system stored procedure requires it, the most frequent occurrence being inexplicably sp_executesql, and your dynamic SQL is very long, you would be better off from performance perspective doing all string manipulations (concatenation, replacement etc.) in VARCHAR then converting the end result to NVARCHAR and feeding it into the proc parameter. So no, do not always use NVARCHAR!

Remove whitespaces inside a string in javascript

You can use Strings replace method with a regular expression.

"Hello World ".replace(/ /g, "");

The replace() method returns a new string with some or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement. The pattern can be a string or a RegExp

RegExp

  • / / - Regular expression matching spaces

  • g - Global flag; find all matches rather than stopping after the first match

_x000D_
_x000D_
const str = "H    e            l l       o  World! ".replace(/ /g, "");_x000D_
document.getElementById("greeting").innerText = str;
_x000D_
<p id="greeting"><p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Variable declaration in a header file

The key is to keep the declarations of the variable in the header file and source file the same.

I use this trick

------sample.c------
#define sample_c
#include sample.h

(rest of sample .c)

------sample.h------
#ifdef sample_c
#define EXTERN
#else
#define EXTERN extern
#endif

EXTERN int x;

Sample.c is only compiled once and it defines the variables. Any file that includes sample.h is only given the "extern" of the variable; it does allocate space for that variable.

When you change the type of x, it will change for everybody. You won't need to remember to change it in the source file and the header file.

File tree view in Notepad++

As of Notepad++ 6.9, the new Folder as Workspace feature can be used.

Folder as Workspace opens your folder(s) in a panel so you can browse folder(s) and open any file in Notepad++. Every changement in the folder(s) from outside will be synchronized in the panel. Usage: Simply drop 1 (or more) folder(s) in Notepad++.

Folder as Workspace

This feature has the advantage of not showing your entire file system when just the working directory is needed. It also means you don't need plugins for it to work.

How to get response body using HttpURLConnection, when code other than 2xx is returned?

If the response code isn't 200 or 2xx, use getErrorStream() instead of getInputStream().

"Data too long for column" - why?

With Hibernate you can create your own UserType. So thats what I did for this issue. Something as simple as this:

    public class BytesType implements org.hibernate.usertype.UserType {

         private final int[] SQL_TYPES = new int[] { java.sql.Types.VARBINARY };
     //...
    }

There of course is more to implement from extending your own UserType but I just wanted to throw that out there for anyone looking for other methods.

Compute mean and standard deviation by group for multiple variables in a data.frame

This is an aggregation problem, not a reshaping problem as the question originally suggested -- we wish to aggregate each column into a mean and standard deviation by ID. There are many packages that handle such problems. In the base of R it can be done using aggregate like this (assuming DF is the input data frame):

ag <- aggregate(. ~ ID, DF, function(x) c(mean = mean(x), sd = sd(x)))

Note 1: A commenter pointed out that ag is a data frame for which some columns are matrices. Although initially that may seem strange, in fact it simplifies access. ag has the same number of columns as the input DF. Its first column ag[[1]] is ID and the ith column of the remainder ag[[i+1]] (or equivalanetly ag[-1][[i]]) is the matrix of statistics for the ith input observation column. If one wishes to access the jth statistic of the ith observation it is therefore ag[[i+1]][, j] which can also be written as ag[-1][[i]][, j] .

On the other hand, suppose there are k statistic columns for each observation in the input (where k=2 in the question). Then if we flatten the output then to access the jth statistic of the ith observation column we must use the more complex ag[[k*(i-1)+j+1]] or equivalently ag[-1][[k*(i-1)+j]] .

For example, compare the simplicity of the first expression vs. the second:

ag[-1][[2]]
##        mean      sd
## [1,] 36.333 10.2144
## [2,] 32.250  4.1932
## [3,] 43.500  4.9497

ag_flat <- do.call("data.frame", ag) # flatten
ag_flat[-1][, 2 * (2-1) + 1:2]
##   Obs_2.mean Obs_2.sd
## 1     36.333  10.2144
## 2     32.250   4.1932
## 3     43.500   4.9497

Note 2: The input in reproducible form is:

Lines <- "ID  Obs_1   Obs_2   Obs_3
1   43      48      37
1   27      29      22
1   36      32      40
2   33      38      36
2   29      32      27
2   32      31      35
2   25      28      24
3   45      47      42
3   38      40      36"
DF <- read.table(text = Lines, header = TRUE)

require_once :failed to open stream: no such file or directory

set_include_path(get_include_path() . $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/mysite/php/includes/");

Also this can help.See set_include_path()

How can I compile LaTeX in UTF8?

Convert your document to utf8. LaTeX just reads your text as it is. If you want to use the utf8 input encoding, your document has to be encoded in utf8. This can usually be set by the editor. There is also the program iconv that is useful for converting files from iso encodings to utf.

In the end, you'll have to use an editor that is capable of supporting utf. (I have no idea about the status of utf support on windows, but any reasonable editor on linux should be fine).

How do I check if an array includes a value in JavaScript?

Here's how Prototype does it:

/**
 *  Array#indexOf(item[, offset = 0]) -> Number
 *  - item (?): A value that may or may not be in the array.
 *  - offset (Number): The number of initial items to skip before beginning the
 *      search.
 *
 *  Returns the position of the first occurrence of `item` within the array &mdash; or
 *  `-1` if `item` doesn't exist in the array.
**/
function indexOf(item, i) {
  i || (i = 0);
  var length = this.length;
  if (i < 0) i = length + i;
  for (; i < length; i++)
    if (this[i] === item) return i;
  return -1;
}

Also see here for how they hook it up.

text-overflow: ellipsis not working

You may try using ellipsis by adding the following in CSS:

.truncate {
  width: 250px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

But it seems like this code just applies to one-line trim. More ways to trim text and show ellipsis can be found in this website: http://blog.sanuker.com/?p=631

Managing SSH keys within Jenkins for Git

It looks like the github.com host which jenkins tries to connect to is not listed under the Jenkins user's $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts. Jenkins runs on most distros as the user jenkins and hence has its own .ssh directory to store the list of public keys and known_hosts.

The easiest solution I can think of to fix this problem is:

# Login as the jenkins user and specify shell explicity,
# since the default shell is /bin/false for most
# jenkins installations.
sudo su jenkins -s /bin/bash

cd SOME_TMP_DIR
# git clone YOUR_GITHUB_URL

# Allow adding the SSH host key to your known_hosts

# Exit from su
exit

jQuery ajax request being block because Cross-Origin

Try to use JSONP in your Ajax call. It will bypass the Same Origin Policy.

http://learn.jquery.com/ajax/working-with-jsonp/

Try example

$.ajax({
    url: "https://api.dailymotion.com/video/x28j5hv?fields=title",

    dataType: "jsonp",
    success: function( response ) {
        console.log( response ); // server response
    }

});

How do I replace text in a selection?

This frustrated the heck out of me, and none of the above answers really got me what I wanted. I finally found the answer I was looking for, on a mac if you do ? + option + F it will bring up a Find-Replace bar at the bottom of your editor which is local to the file you have open.

There is an icon option which when hovered over says "In Selection" that you can select to find and replace within a selection. I've pointed to the correct icon in the screenshot below.

enter image description here

Hit replace all, and voila, all instances of '0' will be replaced with '255'.

Note: this feature is ONLY available when you use ? + option + F.

It does NOT appear when you use ? + shift + F.

Note: this will replace all instances of '0' with '255'. If you wanted to replace 0 (without the quotes) with 255, then just put 0 (without quotes) and 255 in the Find What: and Replace With: fields respectively.

Note:

option key is also labeled as the alt key.

? key is also labeled as the command key.

What is a Data Transfer Object (DTO)?

The principle behind Data Transfer Object is to create new Data Objects that only include the necessary properties you need for a specific data transaction.

Benefits include:

Make data transfer more secure Reduce transfer size if you remove all unnecessary data.

PHP not displaying errors even though display_errors = On

I had the same problem with Apache and PHP 5.5. In php.ini, I had the following lines:

error_reporting E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors Off

instead of the following:

error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors=Off

(the =sign was missing)

Most efficient way to append arrays in C#?

Olmo's suggestion is very good, but I'd add this: If you're not sure about the size, it's better to make it a little bigger than a little smaller. When a list is full, keep in mind it will double its size to add more elements.

For example: suppose you will need about 50 elements. If you use a 50 elements size and the final number of elements is 51, you'll end with a 100 sized list with 49 wasted positions.

How can Bash execute a command in a different directory context?

Use cd in a subshell; the shorthand way to use this kind of subshell is parentheses.

(cd wherever; mycommand ...)

That said, if your command has an environment that it requires, it should really ensure that environment itself instead of putting the onus on anything that might want to use it (unless it's an internal command used in very specific circumstances in the context of a well defined larger system, such that any caller already needs to ensure the environment it requires). Usually this would be some kind of shell script wrapper.

How to develop Android app completely using python?

To answer your first question: yes it is feasible to develop an android application in pure python, in order to achieve this I suggest you use BeeWare, which is just a suite of python tools, that work together very well and they enable you to develop platform native applications in python.

checkout this video by the creator of BeeWare that perfectly explains and demonstrates it's application

How it works

Android's preferred language of implementation is Java - so if you want to write an Android application in Python, you need to have a way to run your Python code on a Java Virtual Machine. This is what VOC does. VOC is a transpiler - it takes Python source code, compiles it to CPython Bytecode, and then transpiles that bytecode into Java-compatible bytecode. The end result is that your Python source code files are compiled directly to a Java .class file, which can be packaged into an Android application.

VOC also allows you to access native Java objects as if they were Python objects, implement Java interfaces with Python classes, and subclass Java classes with Python classes. Using this, you can write an Android application directly against the native Android APIs.

Once you've written your native Android application, you can use Briefcase to package your Python code as an Android application.

Briefcase is a tool for converting a Python project into a standalone native application. You can package projects for:

  • Mac
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • iPhone/iPad
  • Android
  • AppleTV
  • tvOS.

You can check This native Android Tic Tac Toe app written in Python, using the BeeWare suite. on GitHub

in addition to the BeeWare tools, you'll need to have a JDK and Android SDK installed to test run your application.

and to answer your second question: a good environment can be anything you are comfortable with be it a text editor and a command line, or an IDE, if you're looking for a good python IDE I would suggest you try Pycharm, it has a community edition which is free, and it has a similar environment as android studio, due to to the fact that were made by the same company.

I hope this has been helpful

Duplicate / Copy records in the same MySQL table

I have a similar issue, and this is what I'm doing:

insert into Preguntas  (`EncuestaID`, `Tipo` , `Seccion` , `RespuestaID` , `Texto` )  select '23', `Tipo`, `Seccion`, `RespuestaID`, `Texto` from Preguntas where `EncuestaID`= 18

Been Preguntas:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `Preguntas` (
  `ID` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `EncuestaID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Tipo` char(5) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `Seccion` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `RespuestaID` bigint(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Texto` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci ,
  PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=522 ;

So, the ID is automatically incremented and also I'm using a fixed value ('23') for EncuestaID.

Using multiple arguments for string formatting in Python (e.g., '%s ... %s')

Mark Cidade's answer is right - you need to supply a tuple.

However from Python 2.6 onwards you can use format instead of %:

'{0} in {1}'.format(unicode(self.author,'utf-8'),  unicode(self.publication,'utf-8'))

Usage of % for formatting strings is no longer encouraged.

This method of string formatting is the new standard in Python 3.0, and should be preferred to the % formatting described in String Formatting Operations in new code.

Android: Pass data(extras) to a fragment

I prefer Serializable = no boilerplate code. For passing data to other Fragments or Activities the speed difference to a Parcelable does not matter.

I would also always provide a helper method for a Fragment or Activity, this way you always know, what data has to be passed. Here an example for your ListMusicFragment:

private static final String EXTRA_MUSIC_LIST = "music_list";

public static ListMusicFragment createInstance(List<Music> music) {
    ListMusicFragment fragment = new ListMusicFragment();
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_MUSIC_LIST, music);
    fragment.setArguments(bundle);
    return fragment;
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(...) { 
    ...
    Bundle bundle = intent.getArguments();
    List<Music> musicList = (List<Music>)bundle.getSerializable(EXTRA_MUSIC_LIST);
    ...
}

Import Excel Spreadsheet Data to an EXISTING sql table?

You can copy-paste data from en excel-sheet to an SQL-table by doing so:

  • Select the data in Excel and press Ctrl + C
  • In SQL Server Management Studio right click the table and choose Edit Top 200 Rows
  • Scroll to the bottom and select the entire empty row by clicking on the row header
  • Paste the data by pressing Ctrl + V

Note: Often tables have a first column which is an ID-column with an auto generated/incremented ID. When you paste your data it will start inserting the leftmost selected column in Excel into the leftmost column in SSMS thus inserting data into the ID-column. To avoid that keep an empty column at the leftmost part of your selection in order to skip that column in SSMS. That will result in SSMS inserting the default data which is the auto generated ID.

Furthermore you can skip other columns by having empty columns at the same ordinal positions in the Excel sheet selection as those columns to be skipped. That will make SSMS insert the default value (or NULL where no default value is specified).

CSS Disabled scrolling

Try using the following code snippet. This should solve your issue.

    overflow-y: auto;
}

Best XML Parser for PHP

I would have to say SimpleXML takes the cake because it is firstly an extension, written in C, and is very fast. But second, the parsed document takes the form of a PHP object. So you can "query" like $root->myElement.

Resolving LNK4098: defaultlib 'MSVCRT' conflicts with

There are 4 versions of the CRT link libraries present in vc\lib:

  • libcmt.lib: static CRT link library for a release build (/MT)
  • libcmtd.lib: static CRT link library for a debug build (/MTd)
  • msvcrt.lib: import library for the release DLL version of the CRT (/MD)
  • msvcrtd.lib: import library for the debug DLL version of the CRT (/MDd)

Look at the linker options, Project + Properties, Linker, Command Line. Note how these libraries are not mentioned here. The linker automatically figures out what /M switch was used by the compiler and which .lib should be linked through a #pragma comment directive. Kinda important, you'd get horrible link errors and hard to diagnose runtime errors if there was a mismatch between the /M option and the .lib you link with.

You'll see the error message you quoted when the linker is told both to link to msvcrt.lib and libcmt.lib. Which will happen if you link code that was compiled with /MT with code that was linked with /MD. There can be only one version of the CRT.

/NODEFAULTLIB tells the linker to ignore the #pragma comment directive that was generated from the /MT compiled code. This might work, although a slew of other linker errors is not uncommon. Things like errno, which is a extern int in the static CRT version but macro-ed to a function in the DLL version. Many others like that.

Well, fix this problem the Right Way, find the .obj or .lib file that you are linking that was compiled with the wrong /M option. If you have no clue then you could find it by grepping the .obj/.lib files for "/MT"

Btw: the Windows executables (like version.dll) have their own CRT version to get their job done. It is located in c:\windows\system32, you cannot reliably use it for your own programs, its CRT headers are not available anywhere. The CRT DLL used by your program has a different name (like msvcrt90.dll).

Switch statement for string matching in JavaScript

    const h = hostname.split('.');
    const len = h.length;
    const tld = h[len-1];
    const sld = len >= 2 ? h[len-2] : null;

    if( tld.length == 2 ) {
        if( only_gov && sld != 'gov' ) return null;

            //it's a valid ccTLD corresponding to its country
            return tld;
         default:
            //2-letter TLD *in* the exception list (e.g.: .eu);
            //it's not a valid ccTLD and we don't know the country
            return null;
        }
    } else if( tld == 'gov' ) {
        //AMERICAAA
        return 'us';
    } else {
        return null;
    }

Honestly, though, you could just do something like

function switchableMatch(s,r){
    //returns the FIRST match of r on s; otherwise, null
    const m = s.match(r);
    if(m) return m[0];
    else return null;
}

and then later switch(switchableMatch(s,r)){…}

How can I use a C++ library from node.js?

There is a fresh answer to that question now. SWIG, as of version 3.0 seems to provide javascript interface generators for Node.js, Webkit and v8.

I've been using SWIG extensively for Java and Python for a while, and once you understand how SWIG works, there is almost no effort(compared to ffi or the equivalent in the target language) needed for interfacing C++ code to the languages that SWIG supports.

As a small example, say you have a library with the header myclass.h:

#include<iostream>

class MyClass {
        int myNumber;
public:
        MyClass(int number): myNumber(number){}
        void sayHello() {
                std::cout << "Hello, my number is:" 
                << myNumber <<std::endl;
        }
};

In order to use this class in node, you simply write the following SWIG interface file (mylib.i):

%module "mylib"
%{
#include "myclass.h"
%}
%include "myclass.h"

Create the binding file binding.gyp:

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "target_name": "mylib",
      "sources": [ "mylib_wrap.cxx" ]
    }
  ]
}

Run the following commands:

swig -c++ -javascript -node mylib.i
node-gyp build

Now, running node from the same folder, you can do:

> var mylib = require("./build/Release/mylib")
> var c = new mylib.MyClass(5)
> c.sayHello()
Hello, my number is:5

Even though we needed to write 2 interface files for such a small example, note how we didn't have to mention the MyClass constructor nor the sayHello method anywhere, SWIG discovers these things, and automatically generates natural interfaces.

Django request.GET

Here is a good way to do it.

from django.utils.datastructures import MultiValueDictKeyError
try:
    message = 'You submitted: %r' % request.GET['q']
except MultiValueDictKeyError:
    message = 'You submitted nothing!'

You don't need to check again if q is in GET request. The call in the QueryDict.get already does that to you.

Get current date in Swift 3?

You can do it in this way with Swift 3.0:

let date = Date()
let calendar = Calendar.current
let components = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: date)

let year =  components.year
let month = components.month
let day = components.day

print(year)
print(month)
print(day)

How to split() a delimited string to a List<String>

Include using namespace System.Linq

List<string> stringList = line.Split(',').ToList();

you can make use of it with ease for iterating through each item.

foreach(string str in stringList)
{

}

String.Split() returns an array, hence convert it to a list using ToList()

Bash Shell Script - Check for a flag and grab its value

Use $# to grab the number of arguments, if it is unequal to 2 there are not enough arguments provided:

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
   usage;
fi

Next, check if $1 equals -t, otherwise an unknown flag was used:

if [ "$1" != "-t" ]; then
  usage;
fi

Finally store $2 in FLAG:

FLAG=$2

Note: usage() is some function showing the syntax. For example:

function usage {
   cat << EOF
Usage: script.sh -t <application>

Performs some activity
EOF
   exit 1
}

REST API Login Pattern

TL;DR Login for each request is not a required component to implement API security, authentication is.

It is hard to answer your question about login without talking about security in general. With some authentication schemes, there's no traditional login.

REST does not dictate any security rules, but the most common implementation in practice is OAuth with 3-way authentication (as you've mentioned in your question). There is no log-in per se, at least not with each API request. With 3-way auth, you just use tokens.

  1. User approves API client and grants permission to make requests in the form of a long-lived token
  2. Api client obtains a short-lived token by using the long-lived one.
  3. Api client sends the short-lived token with each request.

This scheme gives the user the option to revoke access at any time. Practially all publicly available RESTful APIs I've seen use OAuth to implement this.

I just don't think you should frame your problem (and question) in terms of login, but rather think about securing the API in general.

For further info on authentication of REST APIs in general, you can look at the following resources:

TNS-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

As mentioned by removing the colon : and replacing with slash / before the sid worked for me.

I have had this issue before, too.

The type WebMvcConfigurerAdapter is deprecated

I have been working on Swagger equivalent documentation library called Springfox nowadays and I found that in the Spring 5.0.8 (running at present), interface WebMvcConfigurer has been implemented by class WebMvcConfigurationSupport class which we can directly extend.

import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurationSupport;

public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport { }

And this is how I have used it for setting my resource handling mechanism as follows -

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addResourceHandler("swagger-ui.html")
            .addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/");

    registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**")
            .addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/");

SQL - Rounding off to 2 decimal places

As an add-on to the answers below, when using INT or non-decimal datatypes in your formulas, remember to multiply the value by 1 and the number of decimals you prefer.

i.e. - TotalPackages is an INT and so the denominator TotalContainers, but I want my result to have up to 6 decimal places.

thus:

((m.TotalPackages * 1.000000) / m.TotalContainers) AS Packages,

What's the fastest way to read a text file line-by-line?

Use the following code:

foreach (string line in File.ReadAllLines(fileName))

This was a HUGE difference in reading performance.

It comes at the cost of memory consumption, but totally worth it!

REST API error code 500 handling

It is a server error, not a client error. If server errors weren't to be returned to the client, there wouldn't have been created an entire status code class for them (i.e. 5xx).

You can't hide the fact that you either made a programming error or some service you rely on is unavailable, and that certainly isn't the client's fault. Returning any other range of code in those cases than the 5xx series would make no sense.

RFC 7231 mentions in section 6.6. Server Error 5xx:

The 5xx (Server Error) class of status code indicates that the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the requested method.

This is exactly the case. There's nothing "internal" about the code "500 Internal Server Error" in the sense that it shouldn't be exposed to the client.

Passing ArrayList through Intent

    public class StructMain implements Serializable {
    public  int id;
    public String name;
    public String lastName;
}

this my item . implement Serializable and create ArrayList

ArrayList<StructMain> items =new ArrayList<>();

and put in Bundle

Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
bundle.putSerializable("test",items);

and create a new Intent that put Bundle to Intent

Intent intent=new Intent(ActivityOne.this,ActivityTwo.class);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);

for receive bundle insert this code

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
ArrayList<StructMain> item = (ArrayList<StructMain>) bundle.getSerializable("test");

How does the enhanced for statement work for arrays, and how to get an iterator for an array?

Strictly speaking, you can't get an iterator of the primitive array, because Iterator.next() can only return an Object. But through the magic of autoboxing, you can get the iterator using the Arrays.asList() method.

Iterator<Integer> it = Arrays.asList(arr).iterator();

The above answer is wrong, you can't use Arrays.asList() on a primitive array, it would return a List<int[]>. Use Guava's Ints.asList() instead.

Get safe area inset top and bottom heights

Try this :

In Objective C

if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
    UIWindow *window = UIApplication.sharedApplication.windows.firstObject;
    CGFloat topPadding = window.safeAreaInsets.top;
    CGFloat bottomPadding = window.safeAreaInsets.bottom;
}

In Swift

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
    let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow
    let topPadding = window?.safeAreaInsets.top
    let bottomPadding = window?.safeAreaInsets.bottom
}

In Swift - iOS 13.0 and above

// Use the first element from windows array as KeyWindow deprecated

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
    let window = UIApplication.shared.windows[0]
    let topPadding = window.safeAreaInsets.top
    let bottomPadding = window.safeAreaInsets.bottom
}

for encoding in encoding_list:

    except:
        worked = False
    if worked:
        print(encoding, ':\n', df.head())

One starts with all the standard encodings available for the python version (in this case 3.7 python 3.7 standard encodings). A usable python list of the standard encodings for the different python version is provided here: Helpful Stack overflow answer

Trying each encoding on a small chunk of the data; only printing the working encoding. The output is directly obvious. This output also addresses the problem that an encoding like 'latin1' that runs through with ought any error, does not necessarily produce the wanted outcome.

In case of the question, I would try this approach specific for problematic CSV file and then maybe try to use the found working encoding for all others.

Encapsulation vs Abstraction?

NOTE: I am sharing this. It is not mean that here is not good answer but because I easily understood.

Answer:

When a class is conceptualized, what are the properties we can have in it given the context. If we are designing a class Animal in the context of a zoo, it is important that we have an attribute as animalType to describe domestic or wild. This attribute may not make sense when we design the class in a different context.

Similarly, what are the behaviors we are going to have in the class? Abstraction is also applied here. What is necessary to have here and what will be an overdose? Then we cut off some information from the class. This process is applying abstraction.

When we ask for difference between encapsulation and abstraction, I would say, encapsulation uses abstraction as a concept. So then, is it only encapsulation. No, abstraction is even a concept applied as part of inheritance and polymorphism.

SQL Query NOT Between Two Dates

How about trying:

select * from 'test_table'
where end_date < CAST('2009-12-15' AS DATE)
or start_date > CAST('2010-01-02' AS DATE)

which will return all date ranges which do not overlap your date range at all.

LINQ: "contains" and a Lambda query

Use Any() instead of Contains():

Check element CSS display with JavaScript

This answer is not exactly what you want, but it might be useful in some cases. If you know the element has some dimensions when displayed, you can also use this:

var hasDisplayNone = (element.offsetHeight === 0 && element.offsetWidth === 0);

EDIT: Why this might be better than direct check of CSS display property? Because you do not need to check all parent elements. If some parent element has display: none, its children are hidden too but still has element.style.display !== 'none'.

Difference in make_shared and normal shared_ptr in C++

If you need special memory alignment on the object controlled by shared_ptr, you cannot rely on make_shared, but I think it's the only one good reason about not using it.

Paste Excel range in Outlook

Often this question is asked in the context of Ron de Bruin's RangeToHTML function, which creates an HTML PublishObject from an Excel.Range, extracts that via FSO, and inserts the resulting stream HTML in to the email's HTMLBody. In doing so, this removes the default signature (the RangeToHTML function has a helper function GetBoiler which attempts to insert the default signature).

Unfortunately, the poorly-documented Application.CommandBars method is not available via Outlook:

wdDoc.Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "PasteExcelTableSourceFormatting"

It will raise a runtime 6158:

enter image description here

But we can still leverage the Word.Document which is accessible via the MailItem.GetInspector method, we can do something like this to copy & paste the selection from Excel to the Outlook email body, preserving your default signature (if there is one).

Dim rng as Range
Set rng = Range("A1:F10") 'Modify as needed

With OutMail
    .To = "[email protected]"
    .BCC = ""
    .Subject = "Subject"
    .Display
    Dim wdDoc As Object     '## Word.Document
    Dim wdRange As Object   '## Word.Range
    Set wdDoc = OutMail.GetInspector.WordEditor
    Set wdRange = wdDoc.Range(0, 0)
    wdRange.InsertAfter vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    'Copy the range in-place
    rng.Copy
    wdRange.Paste
End With

Note that in some cases this may not perfectly preserve the column widths or in some instances the row heights, and while it will also copy shapes and other objects in the Excel range, this may also cause some funky alignment issues, but for simple tables and Excel ranges, it is very good:

Not able to change TextField Border Color

The best and most effective solution is just adding theme in your main class and add input decoration like these.

theme: ThemeData(
    inputDecorationTheme: InputDecorationTheme(
        border: OutlineInputBorder(
           borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.pink)
        )
    ),
)

Is there an easy way to attach source in Eclipse?

It may seem like overkill, but if you use maven and include source, the mvn eclipse plugin will generate all the source configuration needed to give you all the in-line documentation you could ask for.

How do I calculate the date six months from the current date using the datetime Python module?

Just use the timetuple method to extract the months, add your months and build a new dateobject. If there is a already existing method for this I do not know it.

import datetime

def in_the_future(months=1):
    year, month, day = datetime.date.today().timetuple()[:3]
    new_month = month + months
    return datetime.date(year + (new_month / 12), (new_month % 12) or 12, day)

The API is a bit clumsy, but works as an example. Will also obviously not work on corner-cases like 2008-01-31 + 1 month. :)

How to set environment variable for everyone under my linux system?

Amazingly, Unix and Linux do not actually have a place to set global environment variables. The best you can do is arrange for any specific shell to have a site-specific initialization.

If you put it in /etc/profile, that will take care of things for most posix-compatible shell users. This is probably "good enough" for non-critical purposes.

But anyone with a csh or tcsh shell won't see it, and I don't believe csh has a global initialization file.

How do I get the key at a specific index from a Dictionary in Swift?

From https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/swift/conceptual/swift_programming_language/CollectionTypes.html:

If you need to use a dictionary’s keys or values with an API that takes an Array instance, initialize a new array with the keys or values property:

let airportCodes = [String](airports.keys) // airportCodes is ["TYO", "LHR"]   
let airportNames = [String](airports.values) // airportNames is ["Tokyo", "London Heathrow"]

Using Linq to get the last N elements of a collection?

I know it's to late to answer this question. But if you are working with collection of type IList<> and you don't care about an order of the returned collection, then this method is working faster. I've used Mark Byers answer and made a little changes. So now method TakeLast is:

public static IEnumerable<T> TakeLast<T>(IList<T> source, int takeCount)
{
    if (source == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("source"); }
    if (takeCount < 0) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("takeCount", "must not be negative"); }
    if (takeCount == 0) { yield break; }

    if (source.Count > takeCount)
    {
        for (int z = source.Count - 1; takeCount > 0; z--)
        {
            takeCount--;
            yield return source[z];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < source.Count; i++)
        {
            yield return source[i];
        }
    }
}

For test I have used Mark Byers method and kbrimington's andswer. This is test:

IList<int> test = new List<int>();
for(int i = 0; i<1000000; i++)
{
    test.Add(i);
}

Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.Start();

IList<int> result = TakeLast(test, 10).ToList();

stopwatch.Stop();

Stopwatch stopwatch1 = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch1.Start();

IList<int> result1 = TakeLast2(test, 10).ToList();

stopwatch1.Stop();

Stopwatch stopwatch2 = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch2.Start();

IList<int> result2 = test.Skip(Math.Max(0, test.Count - 10)).Take(10).ToList();

stopwatch2.Stop();

And here are results for taking 10 elements:

enter image description here

and for taking 1000001 elements results are: enter image description here

JNI converting jstring to char *

Thanks Jason Rogers's answer first.

In Android && cpp should be this:

const char *nativeString = env->GetStringUTFChars(javaString, nullptr);

// use your string

env->ReleaseStringUTFChars(javaString, nativeString);

Can fix this errors:

1.error: base operand of '->' has non-pointer type 'JNIEnv {aka _JNIEnv}'

2.error: no matching function for call to '_JNIEnv::GetStringUTFChars(JNIEnv*&, _jstring*&, bool)'

3.error: no matching function for call to '_JNIEnv::ReleaseStringUTFChars(JNIEnv*&, _jstring*&, char const*&)'

4.add "env->DeleteLocalRef(nativeString);" at end.

Maybe someone else might get same error. Look at this guys!

MD5 is 128 bits but why is it 32 characters?

One hex digit = 1 nibble (four-bits)

Two hex digits = 1 byte (eight-bits)

MD5 = 32 hex digits

32 hex digits = 16 bytes ( 32 / 2)

16 bytes = 128 bits (16 * 8)

The same applies to SHA-1 except it's 40 hex digits long.

I hope this helps.

Finding local IP addresses using Python's stdlib

I had to solve the problem "Figure out if an IP address is local or not", and my first thought was to build a list of IPs that were local and then match against it. This is what led me to this question. However, I later realized there is a more straightfoward way to do it: Try to bind on that IP and see if it works.

_local_ip_cache = []
_nonlocal_ip_cache = []
def ip_islocal(ip):
    if ip in _local_ip_cache:
        return True
    if ip in _nonlocal_ip_cache:
        return False
    s = socket.socket()
    try:
        try:
            s.bind((ip, 0))
        except socket.error, e:
            if e.args[0] == errno.EADDRNOTAVAIL:
                _nonlocal_ip_cache.append(ip)
                return False
            else:
                raise
    finally:
        s.close()
    _local_ip_cache.append(ip)
    return True

I know this doesn't answer the question directly, but this should be helpful to anyone trying to solve the related question and who was following the same train of thought. This has the advantage of being a cross-platform solution (I think).

Using Predicate in Swift

I think this would be a better way to do it in Swift:

{
   searchResults = recipes.filter { name.rangeOfString(searchText) != nil  }
}

What's the PowerShell syntax for multiple values in a switch statement?

You should be able to use a wildcard for your values:

switch -wildcard ($someString.ToLower())
{
    "y*" { "You entered Yes." }
    default { "You entered No." }
}

Regular expressions are also allowed.

switch -regex ($someString.ToLower())
{
    "y(es)?" { "You entered Yes." }
    default { "You entered No." }
}

What is the difference between Tomcat, JBoss and Glassfish?

Tomcat is merely an HTTP server and Java servlet container. JBoss and GlassFish are full-blown Java EE application servers, including an EJB container and all the other features of that stack. On the other hand, Tomcat has a lighter memory footprint (~60-70 MB), while those Java EE servers weigh in at hundreds of megs. Tomcat is very popular for simple web applications, or applications using frameworks such as Spring that do not require a full Java EE server. Administration of a Tomcat server is arguably easier, as there are fewer moving parts.

However, for applications that do require a full Java EE stack (or at least more pieces that could easily be bolted-on to Tomcat)... JBoss and GlassFish are two of the most popular open source offerings (the third one is Apache Geronimo, upon which the free version of IBM WebSphere is built). JBoss has a larger and deeper user community, and a more mature codebase. However, JBoss lags significantly behind GlassFish in implementing the current Java EE specs. Also, for those who prefer a GUI-based admin system... GlassFish's admin console is extremely slick, whereas most administration in JBoss is done with a command-line and text editor. GlassFish comes straight from Sun/Oracle, with all the advantages that can offer. JBoss is NOT under the control of Sun/Oracle, with all the advantages THAT can offer.

How to send emails from my Android application?

I was using something along the lines of the currently accepted answer in order to send emails with an attached binary error log file. GMail and K-9 send it just fine and it also arrives fine on my mail server. The only problem was my mail client of choice Thunderbird which had troubles with opening / saving the attached log file. In fact it simply didn't save the file at all without complaining.

I took a look at one of these mail's source codes and noticed that the log file attachment had (understandably) the mime type message/rfc822. Of course that attachment is not an attached email. But Thunderbird cannot cope with that tiny error gracefully. So that was kind of a bummer.

After a bit of research and experimenting I came up with the following solution:

public Intent createEmailOnlyChooserIntent(Intent source,
    CharSequence chooserTitle) {
    Stack<Intent> intents = new Stack<Intent>();
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto",
            "[email protected]", null));
    List<ResolveInfo> activities = getPackageManager()
            .queryIntentActivities(i, 0);

    for(ResolveInfo ri : activities) {
        Intent target = new Intent(source);
        target.setPackage(ri.activityInfo.packageName);
        intents.add(target);
    }

    if(!intents.isEmpty()) {
        Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(intents.remove(0),
                chooserTitle);
        chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS,
                intents.toArray(new Parcelable[intents.size()]));

        return chooserIntent;
    } else {
        return Intent.createChooser(source, chooserTitle);
    }
}

It can be used as follows:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("*/*");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(crashLogFile));
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {
    ANDROID_SUPPORT_EMAIL
});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Crash report");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Some crash report details");

startActivity(createEmailOnlyChooserIntent(i, "Send via email"));

As you can see, the createEmailOnlyChooserIntent method can be easily fed with the correct intent and the correct mime type.

It then goes through the list of available activities that respond to an ACTION_SENDTO mailto protocol intent (which are email apps only) and constructs a chooser based on that list of activities and the original ACTION_SEND intent with the correct mime type.

Another advantage is that Skype is not listed anymore (which happens to respond to the rfc822 mime type).

Android Crop Center of Bitmap

You can used following code that can solve your problem.

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postScale(0.5f, 0.5f);
Bitmap croppedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmapOriginal, 100, 100,100, 100, matrix, true);

Above method do postScalling of image before cropping, so you can get best result with cropped image without getting OOM error.

How do I change an HTML selected option using JavaScript?

Your own answer technically wasn't incorrect, but you got the index wrong since indexes start at 0, not 1. That's why you got the wrong selection.

document.getElementById('personlist').getElementsByTagName('option')[**10**].selected = 'selected';

Also, your answer is actually a good one for cases where the tags aren't entirely English or numeric.

If they use, for example, Asian characters, the other solutions telling you to use .value() may not always function and will just not do anything. Selecting by tag is a good way to ignore the actual text and select by the element itself.

How to save a pandas DataFrame table as a png

The solution of @bunji works for me, but default options don't always give a good result. I added some useful parameter to tweak the appearance of the table.

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pandas.tools.plotting import table
import numpy as np

dates = pd.date_range('20130101',periods=6)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(6,4),index=dates,columns=list('ABCD'))

df.index = [item.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') for item in df.index] # Format date

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 2)) # set size frame
ax.xaxis.set_visible(False)  # hide the x axis
ax.yaxis.set_visible(False)  # hide the y axis
ax.set_frame_on(False)  # no visible frame, uncomment if size is ok
tabla = table(ax, df, loc='upper right', colWidths=[0.17]*len(df.columns))  # where df is your data frame
tabla.auto_set_font_size(False) # Activate set fontsize manually

How do I force git to use LF instead of CR+LF under windows?

You can find the solution to this problem at: https://help.github.com/en/github/using-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings

Simplified description of how you can solve this problem on windows:

Global settings for line endings The git config core.autocrlf command is used to change how Git handles line endings. It takes a single argument.

On Windows, you simply pass true to the configuration. For example: C:>git config --global core.autocrlf true

Good luck, I hope I helped.

How to run html file using node js

This is a simple html file "demo.htm" stored in the same folder as the node.js file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Heading</h1>
    <p>Paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Below is the node.js file to call this html file.

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

var server = http.createServer(function(req, resp){
  // Print the name of the file for which request is made.
  console.log("Request for demo file received.");
  fs.readFile("Documents/nodejs/demo.html",function(error, data){
    if (error) {
      resp.writeHead(404);
      resp.write('Contents you are looking for-not found');
      resp.end();
    }  else {
      resp.writeHead(200, {
        'Content-Type': 'text/html'
      });
      resp.write(data.toString());
      resp.end();
    }
  });
});

server.listen(8081, '127.0.0.1');

console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8081/');

Intiate the above nodejs file in command prompt and the message "Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8081/" is displayed.Now in your browser type "http://127.0.0.1:8081/demo.html".

Boolean vs tinyint(1) for boolean values in MySQL

While it's true that bool and tinyint(1) are functionally identical, bool should be the preferred option because it carries the semantic meaning of what you're trying to do. Also, many ORMs will convert bool into your programing language's native boolean type.

Convert string to JSON array

You can do the following:

JSONArray jsonArray = jsnobject.getJSONArray("locations");
    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        JSONObject explrObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
}

Get element inside element by class and ID - JavaScript

Recursive function :

function getElementInsideElement(baseElement, wantedElementID) {
    var elementToReturn;
    for (var i = 0; i < baseElement.childNodes.length; i++) {
        elementToReturn = baseElement.childNodes[i];
        if (elementToReturn.id == wantedElementID) {
            return elementToReturn;
        } else {
            return getElementInsideElement(elementToReturn, wantedElementID);
        }
    }
}

Fast and simple String encrypt/decrypt in JAVA

Update

the library already have Java/Kotlin support, see github.


Original

To simplify I did a class to be used simply, I added it on Encryption library to use it you just do as follow:

Add the gradle library:

compile 'se.simbio.encryption:library:2.0.0'

and use it:

Encryption encryption = Encryption.getDefault("Key", "Salt", new byte[16]);
String encrypted = encryption.encryptOrNull("top secret string");
String decrypted = encryption.decryptOrNull(encrypted);

if you not want add the Encryption library you can just copy the following class to your project. If you are in an android project you need to import android Base64 in this class, if you are in a pure java project you need to add this class manually you can get it here

How to display count of notifications in app launcher icon

It works in samsung touchwiz launcher

public static void setBadge(Context context, int count) {
    String launcherClassName = getLauncherClassName(context);
    if (launcherClassName == null) {
        return;
    }
    Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.BADGE_COUNT_UPDATE");
    intent.putExtra("badge_count", count);
    intent.putExtra("badge_count_package_name", context.getPackageName());
    intent.putExtra("badge_count_class_name", launcherClassName);
    context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}

public static String getLauncherClassName(Context context) {

    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

    List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
    for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resolveInfos) {
        String pkgName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName;
        if (pkgName.equalsIgnoreCase(context.getPackageName())) {
            String className = resolveInfo.activityInfo.name;

        }
    }
    return null;
}

Oracle SQL convert date format from DD-Mon-YY to YYYYMM

As offer_date is an number, and is of lower accuracy than your real dates, this may work...
- Convert your real date to a string of format YYYYMM
- Conver that value to an INT
- Compare the result you your offer_date

SELECT
  *
FROM
  offers
WHERE
    offer_date = (SELECT CAST(to_char(create_date, 'YYYYMM') AS INT) FROM customers where id = '12345678')
AND offer_rate > 0 

Also, by doing all the manipulation on the create_date you only do the processing on one value.

Additionally, had you manipulated the offer_date you would not be able to utilise any index on that field, and so force SCANs instead of SEEKs.

vim - How to delete a large block of text without counting the lines?

It sort of depends on what that large block is. Maybe you just mean to delete a paragraph in which case a dip would do.

Get current working directory in a Qt application

Thank you RedX and Kaz for your answers. I don't get why by me it gives the path of the exe. I found an other way to do it :

QString pwd("");
char * PWD;
PWD = getenv ("PWD");
pwd.append(PWD);
cout << "Working directory : " << pwd << flush;

It is less elegant than a single line... but it works for me.

Check if decimal value is null

decimal is a value type in .NET. And value types can't be null. But if you use nullable type for your decimal, then you can check your decimal is null or not. Like myDecimal?

Nullable types are instances of the System.Nullable struct. A nullable type can represent the normal range of values for its underlying value type, plus an additional null value.

if (myDecimal.HasValue)

But I think in your database, if this column contains nullable values, then it shouldn't be type of decimal.

Call apply-like function on each row of dataframe with multiple arguments from each row

I came here looking for tidyverse function name - which I knew existed. Adding this for (my) future reference and for tidyverse enthusiasts: purrrlyr:invoke_rows (purrr:invoke_rows in older versions).

With connection to standard stats methods as in the original question, the broom package would probably help.

Understanding ibeacon distancing

With multiple phones and beacons at the same location, it's going to be difficult to measure proximity with any high degree of accuracy. Try using the Android "b and l bluetooth le scanner" app, to visualize the signal strengths (distance) variations, for multiple beacons, and you'll quickly discover that complex, adaptive algorithms may be required to provide any form of consistent proximity measurement.

You're going to see lots of solutions simply instructing the user to "please hold your phone here", to reduce customer frustration.

How to run a task when variable is undefined in ansible?

As per latest Ansible Version 2.5, to check if a variable is defined and depending upon this if you want to run any task, use undefined keyword.

tasks:
    - shell: echo "I've got '{{ foo }}' and am not afraid to use it!"
      when: foo is defined

    - fail: msg="Bailing out. this play requires 'bar'"
      when: bar is undefined

HTML/Javascript Button Click Counter

After looking at the code you're having typos, here is the updated code

var clicks = 0; // should be var not int
    function clickME() {
        clicks += 1;
        document.getElementById("clicks").innerHTML = clicks; //getElementById() not getElementByID() Which you corrected in edit
 }

Demo

Note: Don't use in-built handlers, as .click() is javascript function try giving different name like clickME()

How to bind inverse boolean properties in WPF?

I did something very similar. I created my property behind the scenes that enabled the selection of a combobox ONLY if it had finished searching for data. When my window first appears, it launches an async loaded command but I do not want the user to click on the combobox while it is still loading data (would be empty, then would be populated). So by default the property is false so I return the inverse in the getter. Then when I'm searching I set the property to true and back to false when complete.

private bool _isSearching;
public bool IsSearching
{
    get { return !_isSearching; }
    set
    {
        if(_isSearching != value)
        {
            _isSearching = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("IsSearching");
        }
    }
}

public CityViewModel()
{
    LoadedCommand = new DelegateCommandAsync(LoadCity, LoadCanExecute);
}

private async Task LoadCity(object pArg)
{
    IsSearching = true;

    //**Do your searching task here**

    IsSearching = false;
}

private bool LoadCanExecute(object pArg)
{
    return IsSearching;
}

Then for the combobox I can bind it directly to the IsSearching:

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Cities}" IsEnabled="{Binding IsSearching}" DisplayMemberPath="City" />

How do I add a delay in a JavaScript loop?

This script works for most things

function timer(start) {
    setTimeout(function () { //The timer
        alert('hello');
    }, start*3000); //needs the "start*" or else all the timers will run at 3000ms
}

for(var start = 1; start < 10; start++) {
    timer(start);
}

How to join (merge) data frames (inner, outer, left, right)

Update join. One other important SQL-style join is an "update join" where columns in one table are updated (or created) using another table.

Modifying the OP's example tables...

sales = data.frame(
  CustomerId = c(1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 6), 
  Year = 2000:2005,
  Product = c(rep("Toaster", 3), rep("Radio", 3))
)
cust = data.frame(
  CustomerId = c(1, 1, 4, 6), 
  Year = c(2001L, 2002L, 2002L, 2002L),
  State = state.name[1:4]
)

sales
# CustomerId Year Product
#          1 2000 Toaster
#          1 2001 Toaster
#          1 2002 Toaster
#          3 2003   Radio
#          4 2004   Radio
#          6 2005   Radio

cust
# CustomerId Year    State
#          1 2001  Alabama
#          1 2002   Alaska
#          4 2002  Arizona
#          6 2002 Arkansas

Suppose we want to add the customer's state from cust to the purchases table, sales, ignoring the year column. With base R, we can identify matching rows and then copy values over:

sales$State <- cust$State[ match(sales$CustomerId, cust$CustomerId) ]

# CustomerId Year Product    State
#          1 2000 Toaster  Alabama
#          1 2001 Toaster  Alabama
#          1 2002 Toaster  Alabama
#          3 2003   Radio     <NA>
#          4 2004   Radio  Arizona
#          6 2005   Radio Arkansas

# cleanup for the next example
sales$State <- NULL

As can be seen here, match selects the first matching row from the customer table.


Update join with multiple columns. The approach above works well when we are joining on only a single column and are satisfied with the first match. Suppose we want the year of measurement in the customer table to match the year of sale.

As @bgoldst's answer mentions, match with interaction might be an option for this case. More straightforwardly, one could use data.table:

library(data.table)
setDT(sales); setDT(cust)

sales[, State := cust[sales, on=.(CustomerId, Year), x.State]]

#    CustomerId Year Product   State
# 1:          1 2000 Toaster    <NA>
# 2:          1 2001 Toaster Alabama
# 3:          1 2002 Toaster  Alaska
# 4:          3 2003   Radio    <NA>
# 5:          4 2004   Radio    <NA>
# 6:          6 2005   Radio    <NA>

# cleanup for next example
sales[, State := NULL]

Rolling update join. Alternately, we may want to take the last state the customer was found in:

sales[, State := cust[sales, on=.(CustomerId, Year), roll=TRUE, x.State]]

#    CustomerId Year Product    State
# 1:          1 2000 Toaster     <NA>
# 2:          1 2001 Toaster  Alabama
# 3:          1 2002 Toaster   Alaska
# 4:          3 2003   Radio     <NA>
# 5:          4 2004   Radio  Arizona
# 6:          6 2005   Radio Arkansas

The three examples above all focus on creating/adding a new column. See the related R FAQ for an example of updating/modifying an existing column.
