Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 does not discover unit tests

Popping in to share my solution. I was on Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, NUnit 3.5, NUnit Test Adapter 3.6 (via NuGet, not the VISX extension) and none of my tests were being discovered. My problem was that in the Tests project of my solution, somehow a shortcut to my "Documents" folder had been created within the project folder. I'm guessing the test adapter was seeing the shortcut and getting hung up trying to figure out what to do with it, resulting in the failure to display unit tests.

Java NIO FileChannel versus FileOutputstream performance / usefulness

Based on my tests (Win7 64bit, 6GB RAM, Java6), NIO transferFrom is fast only with small files and becomes very slow on larger files. NIO databuffer flip always outperforms standard IO.

  • Copying 1000x2MB

    1. NIO (transferFrom) ~2300ms
    2. NIO (direct datababuffer 5000b flip) ~3500ms
    3. Standard IO (buffer 5000b) ~6000ms
  • Copying 100x20mb

    1. NIO (direct datababuffer 5000b flip) ~4000ms
    2. NIO (transferFrom) ~5000ms
    3. Standard IO (buffer 5000b) ~6500ms
  • Copying 1x1000mb

    1. NIO (direct datababuffer 5000b flip) ~4500s
    2. Standard IO (buffer 5000b) ~7000ms
    3. NIO (transferFrom) ~8000ms

The transferTo() method works on chunks of a file; wasn't intended as a high-level file copy method: How to copy a large file in Windows XP?

Convert Json Array to normal Java list

Instead of using bundled-in org.json library, try using Jackson or GSON, where this is a one-liner. With Jackson, f.ex:

List<String> list = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, List.class);
// Or for array:
String[] array = mapper.readValue(json, String[].class);

Android canvas draw rectangle

paint.setStrokeWidth(3);

paint.setColor(BLACK);

and either one of your drawRect should work.

Android List View Drag and Drop sort

I found DragSortListView worked well, although getting started on it could have been easier. Here's a brief tutorial on using it in Android Studio with an in-memory list:

  1. Add this to the build.gradle dependencies for your app:

    compile 'asia.ivity.android:drag-sort-listview:1.0' // Corresponds to release 0.6.1
    
  2. Create a resource for the drag handle ID by creating or adding to values/ids.xml:

    <resources>
        ... possibly other resources ...
        <item type="id" name="drag_handle" />
    </resources>
    
  3. Create a layout for a list item that includes your favorite drag handle image, and assign its ID to the ID you created in step 2 (e.g. drag_handle).

  4. Create a DragSortListView layout, something like this:

    <com.mobeta.android.dslv.DragSortListView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:dslv="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        dslv:drag_handle_id="@id/drag_handle"
        dslv:float_background_color="@android:color/background_light"/>
    
  5. Set an ArrayAdapter derivative with a getView override that renders your list item view.

        final ArrayAdapter<MyItem> itemAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<MyItem>(this, R.layout.my_item, R.id.my_item_name, items) { // The third parameter works around ugly Android legacy. http://stackoverflow.com/a/18529511/145173
            @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                MyItem item = getItem(position);
                ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.my_item_name)).setText(item.getName());
                // ... Fill in other views ...
                return view;
            }
        };
    
        dragSortListView.setAdapter(itemAdapter);
    
  6. Set a drop listener that rearranges the items as they are dropped.

        dragSortListView.setDropListener(new DragSortListView.DropListener() {
            @Override public void drop(int from, int to) {
                MyItem movedItem = items.get(from);
                items.remove(from);
                if (from > to) --from;
                items.add(to, movedItem);
                itemAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        });
    

android listview item height

  android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" 

seemed no effect.

  android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" 

changed the height for me

Convert string to decimal number with 2 decimal places in Java

This line is your problem:

litersOfPetrol = Float.parseFloat(df.format(litersOfPetrol));

There you formatted your float to string as you wanted, but but then that string got transformed again to a float, and then what you printed in stdout was your float that got a standard formatting. Take a look at this code

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

String stringLitersOfPetrol = "123.00";
System.out.println("string liters of petrol putting in preferences is "+stringLitersOfPetrol);
Float litersOfPetrol=Float.parseFloat(stringLitersOfPetrol);
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
stringLitersOfPetrol = df.format(litersOfPetrol);
System.out.println("liters of petrol before putting in editor : "+stringLitersOfPetrol);

And by the way, when you want to use decimals, forget the existence of double and float as others suggested and just use BigDecimal object, it will save you a lot of headache.

Most Useful Attributes

I like using the [ThreadStatic] attribute in combination with thread and stack based programming. For example, if I want a value that I want to share with the rest of a call sequence, but I want to do it out of band (i.e. outside of the call parameters), I might employ something like this.

class MyContextInformation : IDisposable {
    [ThreadStatic] private static MyContextInformation current;

    public static MyContextInformation Current {
        get { return current; }
    }

    private MyContextInformation previous;


    public MyContextInformation(Object myData) {
       this.myData = myData;
       previous = current;
       current = this;
    }

    public void Dispose() {
       current = previous;
    }
}

Later in my code, I can use this to provide contextual information out of band to people downstream from my code. Example:

using(new MyContextInformation(someInfoInContext)) {
   ...
}

The ThreadStatic attribute allows me to scope the call only to the thread in question avoiding the messy problem of data access across threads.

How to check if Thread finished execution

It depends on how you want to use it. Using a Join is one way. Another way of doing it is let the thread notify the caller of the thread by using an event. For instance when you have your graphical user interface (GUI) thread that calls a process which runs for a while and needs to update the GUI when it finishes, you can use the event to do this. This website gives you an idea about how to work with events:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa645739%28VS.71%29.aspx

Remember that it will result in cross-threading operations and in case you want to update the GUI from another thread, you will have to use the Invoke method of the control which you want to update.

Check if a property exists in a class

If you are binding like I was:

<%# Container.DataItem.GetType().GetProperty("Property1") != null ? DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Property1") : DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Property2")  %>

How to convert 'binary string' to normal string in Python3?

Please, see oficial encode() and decode() documentation from codecs library. utf-8 is the default encoding for the functions, but there are severals standard encodings in Python 3, like latin_1 or utf_32.

Where should I put the CSS and Javascript code in an HTML webpage?

In my opinion best way is 1) place the CSS file in the header part in between head tag reason is first page show the view for that css require 2)and all js file should place before the body closing tag. reason is after all component display js can apply

How to align content of a div to the bottom

I found this solution bassed on a default bootstrap start template

/* HTML */

<div class="content_wrapper">
  <div class="content_floating">
    <h2>HIS This is the header<br>
      In Two Rows</h2>
    <p>This is a description at the bottom too</p> 
  </div>
</div>

/* css */

.content_wrapper{
      display: table;
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%; /* For at least Firefox */
      min-height: 100%;
    }

.content_floating{
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: bottom;
  padding-bottom:80px;

}

Using an authorization header with Fetch in React Native

It turns out, I was using the fetch method incorrectly.

fetch expects two parameters: an endpoint to the API, and an optional object which can contain body and headers.

I was wrapping the intended object within a second object, which did not get me any desired result.

Here's how it looks on a high level:

fetch('API_ENDPOINT', OBJECT)  
  .then(function(res) {
    return res.json();
   })
  .then(function(resJson) {
    return resJson;
   })

I structured my object as such:

var obj = {  
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Origin': '',
    'Host': 'api.producthunt.com'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    'client_id': '(API KEY)',
    'client_secret': '(API SECRET)',
    'grant_type': 'client_credentials'
  })

Mod in Java produces negative numbers

Since Java 8 you can use the Math.floorMod() method:

Math.floorMod(-1, 2); //== 1

Note: If the modulo-value (here 2) is negative, all output values will be negative too. :)

What is the best way to filter a Java Collection?

Let’s look at how to filter a built-in JDK List and a MutableList using Eclipse Collections.

List<Integer> jdkList = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
MutableList<Integer> ecList = Lists.mutable.with(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

If you wanted to filter the numbers less than 3, you would expect the following outputs.

List<Integer> selected = Lists.mutable.with(1, 2);
List<Integer> rejected = Lists.mutable.with(3, 4, 5);

Here’s how you can filter using a Java 8 lambda as the Predicate.

Assert.assertEquals(selected, Iterate.select(jdkList, each -> each < 3));
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, Iterate.reject(jdkList, each -> each < 3));

Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecList.select(each -> each < 3));
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, ecList.reject(each -> each < 3));

Here’s how you can filter using an anonymous inner class as the Predicate.

Predicate<Integer> lessThan3 = new Predicate<Integer>()
{
    public boolean accept(Integer each)
    {
        return each < 3;
    }
};

Assert.assertEquals(selected, Iterate.select(jdkList, lessThan3));
Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecList.select(lessThan3));

Here are some alternatives to filtering JDK lists and Eclipse Collections MutableLists using the Predicates factory.

Assert.assertEquals(selected, Iterate.select(jdkList, Predicates.lessThan(3)));
Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecList.select(Predicates.lessThan(3)));

Here is a version that doesn't allocate an object for the predicate, by using the Predicates2 factory instead with the selectWith method that takes a Predicate2.

Assert.assertEquals(
    selected, ecList.selectWith(Predicates2.<Integer>lessThan(), 3));

Sometimes you want to filter on a negative condition. There is a special method in Eclipse Collections for that called reject.

Assert.assertEquals(rejected, Iterate.reject(jdkList, lessThan3));
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, ecList.reject(lessThan3));

The method partition will return two collections, containing the elements selected by and rejected by the Predicate.

PartitionIterable<Integer> jdkPartitioned = Iterate.partition(jdkList, lessThan3);
Assert.assertEquals(selected, jdkPartitioned.getSelected());
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, jdkPartitioned.getRejected());

PartitionList<Integer> ecPartitioned = gscList.partition(lessThan3);
Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecPartitioned.getSelected());
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, ecPartitioned.getRejected());

Note: I am a committer for Eclipse Collections.

How to use hex color values

Another method

Swift 3.0

Write a extension for UIColor

// To change the HexaDecimal value to Corresponding Color
extension UIColor
{
    class func uicolorFromHex(_ rgbValue:UInt32, alpha : CGFloat)->UIColor

    {
        let red = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0
        let green = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8) / 255.0
        let blue = CGFloat(rgbValue & 0xFF) / 255.0
        return UIColor(red:red, green:green, blue:blue, alpha: alpha)
    }
}

you can directly create UIColor with hex like this

let carrot = UIColor.uicolorFromHex(0xe67e22, alpha: 1))

Easiest way to parse a comma delimited string to some kind of object I can loop through to access the individual values?

Use Linq, it is a very quick and easy way.

string mystring = "0, 10, 20, 30, 100, 200";

var query = from val in mystring.Split(',')
            select int.Parse(val);
foreach (int num in query)
{
     Console.WriteLine(num);
}

Why is January month 0 in Java Calendar?

Because programmers are obsessed with 0-based indexes. OK, it's a bit more complicated than that: it makes more sense when you're working with lower-level logic to use 0-based indexing. But by and large, I'll still stick with my first sentence.

What does the red exclamation point icon in Eclipse mean?

What I did was peculiar but somehow it fixed the problem. Pick any project and perform a fake edit of the build.properties file (e.g., add and remove a space and then save the file). Clean and rebuild the projects in your workspace.

Hope this solve some of your problems.

Is there a macro to conditionally copy rows to another worksheet?

            file.SaveAs(path);  
            ViewBag.Message = "Your message for success";  
        }  
        catch (Exception ex)

        }  
    else 
    {  
        ViewBag.Message = "Please select file";  
    }

Label python data points on plot

I had a similar issue and ended up with this:

enter image description here

For me this has the advantage that data and annotation are not overlapping.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

A = -0.75, -0.25, 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0
B = 0.73, 0.97, 1.0, 0.97, 0.88, 0.73, 0.54

plt.plot(A,B)

# annotations at the side (ordered by B values)
x0,x1=ax.get_xlim()
y0,y1=ax.get_ylim()
for ii, ind in enumerate(np.argsort(B)):
    x = A[ind]
    y = B[ind]
    xPos = x1 + .02 * (x1 - x0)
    yPos = y0 + ii * (y1 - y0)/(len(B) - 1)
    ax.annotate('',#label,
          xy=(x, y), xycoords='data',
          xytext=(xPos, yPos), textcoords='data',
          arrowprops=dict(
                          connectionstyle="arc3,rad=0.",
                          shrinkA=0, shrinkB=10,
                          arrowstyle= '-|>', ls= '-', linewidth=2
                          ),
          va='bottom', ha='left', zorder=19
          )
    ax.text(xPos + .01 * (x1 - x0), yPos,
            '({:.2f}, {:.2f})'.format(x,y),
            transform=ax.transData, va='center')

plt.grid()
plt.show()

Using the text argument in .annotate ended up with unfavorable text positions. Drawing lines between a legend and the data points is a mess, as the location of the legend is hard to address.

Setting a spinner onClickListener() in Android

The Spinner class implements DialogInterface.OnClickListener, thereby effectively hijacking the standard View.OnClickListener.

If you are not using a sub-classed Spinner or don't intend to, choose another answer.

Otherwise just add the following code to your custom Spinner:

@Override
/** Override triggered on 'tap' of closed Spinner */
public boolean performClick() {
    // [ Do anything you like here ]
    return super.performClick();
}

Example: Display a pre-supplied hint via Snackbar whenever the Spinner is opened:

private String sbMsg=null;      // Message seen by user when Spinner is opened.
public void setSnackbarMessage(String msg) { sbMsg=msg; }
@Override
/** Override triggered on 'tap' of closed Spinner */
public boolean performClick() {
    if (sbMsg!=null && !sbMsg.isEmpty()) { /* issue Snackbar */ }
    return super.performClick();
}

Trapping 'click' of closed Spinner

A custom Spinner is a terrific starting point for programmatically standardising Spinner appearance throughout your project.

FFMPEG mp4 from http live streaming m3u8 file?

Your command is completely incorrect. The output format is not rawvideo and you don't need the bitstream filter h264_mp4toannexb which is used when you want to convert the h264 contained in an mp4 to the Annex B format used by MPEG-TS for example. What you want to use instead is the aac_adtstoasc for the AAC streams.

I had this error running php-fpm in a chroot jail. I tried creating etc/php.ini and /usr/share/zoneinfo in the chroot directory, but it just didn't work. I even tried strace-ing the php-fpm daemons to see what file they were missing - nothing jumped out.

So in case Google brings you here because you get this error when using php-fpm configured for chroot, you can probably fix it by adding this line to /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf in the ENV section:

env[TZ] = America/New_York

A php-fpm restart is normally required for it to take effect. Hope this helps somebody out there.

Copy all the lines to clipboard

There wasn't a concept of "clipboard" in Bill Joy's vi so I don't think there is a built-in way to do it.

gVim's automatic copy-anything-highlighted-to-the-clipboard feature is easiest or use an external program via :!

For Cygwin's vim I use

:%!putclip

Maybe Ubuntu has a CLI app like putclip??

How do you get the path to the Laravel Storage folder?

In Laravel 4, use the storage_path() helper function.

Maven artifact and groupId naming

However, I disagree the official definition of Guide to naming conventions on groupId, artifactId, and version which proposes the groupId must start with a reversed domain name you control.

com means this project belongs to a company, and org means this project belongs to a social organization. These are alright, but for those strange domain like xxx.tv, xxx.uk, xxx.cn, it does not make sense to name the groupId started with "tv.","cn.", the groupId should deliver the basic information of the project rather than the domain.

How to replace innerHTML of a div using jQuery?

The html() function can take strings of HTML, and will effectively modify the .innerHTML property.

$('#regTitle').html('Hello World');

However, the text() function will change the (text) value of the specified element, but keep the html structure.

$('#regTitle').text('Hello world'); 

How to create EditText with cross(x) button at end of it?

File to byte[] in Java

//The file that you wanna convert into byte[]
File file=new File("/storage/0CE2-EA3D/DCIM/Camera/VID_20190822_205931.mp4"); 

FileInputStream fileInputStream=new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] data=new byte[(int) file.length()];
BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream=new BufferedInputStream(fileInputStream);
bufferedInputStream.read(data,0,data.length);

//Now the bytes of the file are contain in the "byte[] data"

Remove all unused resources from an android project

Since ADT 16 you can use Android Lint. It is really amazing tool.

Android Lint is a new tool for ADT 16 (and Tools 16) which scans Android project sources for potential bugs.

Here are some examples of the types of errors that it looks for:

  • Missing translations (and unused translations)
  • Layout performance problems (all the issues the old layoutopt tool used to find, and more)
  • Unused resources
  • Inconsistent array sizes (when arrays are defined in multiple configurations)
  • Accessibility and internationalization problems (hardcoded strings, missing contentDescription, etc)
  • Icon problems (like missing densities, duplicate icons, wrong sizes, etc)
  • Usability problems (like not specifying an input type on a text field)
  • Manifest errors and many more.

However, it has some issues (don't know if they're already fixed) and if you want to delete hundreds of supposedly unused resources I'd recommend to manually compile project several times during resource removing to be sure that Lint didn't remove something needed.

Converting of Uri to String

Uri is serializable, so you can save strings and convert it back when loading

when saving

String str = myUri.toString();

and when loading

Uri myUri = Uri.parse(str);

In Javascript/jQuery what does (e) mean?

The e argument is short for the event object. For example, you might want to create code for anchors that cancels the default action. To do this you would write something like:

$('a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
}

This means when an <a> tag is clicked, prevent the default action of the click event.

While you may see it often, it's not something you have to use within the function even though you have specified it as an argument.

How do I install cygwin components from the command line?

Cygwin's setup accepts command-line arguments to install packages from the command-line.

e.g. setup-x86.exe -q -P packagename1,packagename2 to install packages without any GUI interaction ('unattended setup mode').

(Note that you need to use setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe as appropriate.)

See http://cygwin.com/packages/ for the package list.

Capitalize words in string

I would use regex for this purpose:

myString = '  this Is my sTring.  ';
myString.trim().toLowerCase().replace(/\w\S*/g, (w) => (w.replace(/^\w/, (c) => c.toUpperCase())));

How do I add images in laravel view?

If Image folder location is public/assets/img/default.jpg. You can try in view

   <img src="{{ URL::to('/assets/img/default.jpg') }}">

Checking during array iteration, if the current element is the last element

If the items are numerically ordered, use the key() function to determine the index of the current item and compare it to the length. You'd have to use next() or prev() to cycle through items in a while loop instead of a for loop:

$length = sizeOf($arr);
while (key(current($arr)) != $length-1) {
    $v = current($arr); doSomething($v); //do something if not the last item
    next($myArray); //set pointer to next item
}

How do I address unchecked cast warnings?

How can I use if/else in a dictionary comprehension?

You've already got it: A if test else B is a valid Python expression. The only problem with your dict comprehension as shown is that the place for an expression in a dict comprehension must have two expressions, separated by a colon:

{ (some_key if condition else default_key):(something_if_true if condition
          else something_if_false) for key, value in dict_.items() }

The final if clause acts as a filter, which is different from having the conditional expression.


Worth mentioning that you don't need to have an if-else condition for both the key and the value. For example, {(a if condition else b): value for key, value in dict.items()} will work.

How to convert a Drawable to a Bitmap?

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.icon);

This will not work every time for example if your drawable is layer list drawable then it gives a null response, so as an alternative you need to draw your drawable into canvas then save as bitmap, please refer below a cup of code.

public void drawableToBitMap(Context context, int drawable, int widthPixels, int heightPixels) {
    try {
        File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS) + "/", "drawable.png");
        FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
        Drawable drw = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(context.getResources(), drawable, null);
        if (drw != null) {
            convertToBitmap(drw, widthPixels, heightPixels).compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fOut);
        }
        fOut.flush();
        fOut.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private Bitmap convertToBitmap(Drawable drawable, int widthPixels, int heightPixels) {
    Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(widthPixels, heightPixels, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    drawable.setBounds(0, 0, widthPixels, heightPixels);
    drawable.draw(canvas);
    return bitmap;
}

above code save you're drawable as drawable.png in the download directory

How much overhead does SSL impose?

Order of magnitude: zero.

In other words, you won't see your throughput cut in half, or anything like it, when you add TLS. Answers to the "duplicate" question focus heavily on application performance, and how that compares to SSL overhead. This question specifically excludes application processing, and seeks to compare non-SSL to SSL only. While it makes sense to take a global view of performance when optimizing, that is not what this question is asking.

The main overhead of SSL is the handshake. That's where the expensive asymmetric cryptography happens. After negotiation, relatively efficient symmetric ciphers are used. That's why it can be very helpful to enable SSL sessions for your HTTPS service, where many connections are made. For a long-lived connection, this "end-effect" isn't as significant, and sessions aren't as useful.


Here's an interesting anecdote. When Google switched Gmail to use HTTPS, no additional resources were required; no network hardware, no new hosts. It only increased CPU load by about 1%.

How to display loading message when an iFrame is loading?

Yes, you could use a transparent div positioned over the iframe area, with a loader gif as only background.

Then you can attach an onload event to the iframe:

 $(document).ready(function() {

   $("iframe#id").load(function() {
      $("#loader-id").hide();
   });
});

Expand and collapse with angular js

You can solve this fully in the html:

<div>
  <input ng-model=collapse type=checkbox>Title
  <div ng-show=collapse>
     Only shown when checkbox is clicked
  </div>
</div>

This also works well with ng-repeat since it will create a local scope for each member.

<table>
  <tbody ng-repeat='m in members'>
    <tr>
       <td><input type=checkbox ng-model=collapse></td>
       <td>{{m.title}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr ng-show=collapse>
      <td> </td>
      <td>{{ m.content }}</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Be aware that even though a repeat has its own scope, initially it will inherit the value from collapse from super scopes. This allows you to set the initial value in one place but it can be surprising.

You can of course restyle the checkbox. See http://jsfiddle.net/azD5m/5/

Updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/azD5m/374/ Original fiddle used closing </input> tags to add the HTML text label instead of using <label> tags.

How to install lxml on Ubuntu

Since you're on Ubuntu, don't bother with those source packages. Just install those development packages using apt-get.

apt-get install python-lxml

and be done with it. :)

Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in

Passing std::string by Value or Reference

Check this answer for C++11. Basically, if you pass an lvalue the rvalue reference

From this article:

void f1(String s) {
    vector<String> v;
    v.push_back(std::move(s));
}
void f2(const String &s) {
    vector<String> v;
    v.push_back(s);
}

"For lvalue argument, ‘f1’ has one extra copy to pass the argument because it is by-value, while ‘f2’ has one extra copy to call push_back. So no difference; for rvalue argument, the compiler has to create a temporary ‘String(L“”)’ and pass the temporary to ‘f1’ or ‘f2’ anyway. Because ‘f2’ can take advantage of move ctor when the argument is a temporary (which is an rvalue), the costs to pass the argument are the same now for ‘f1’ and ‘f2’."

Continuing: " This means in C++11 we can get better performance by using pass-by-value approach when:

  1. The parameter type supports move semantics - All standard library components do in C++11
  2. The cost of move constructor is much cheaper than the copy constructor (both the time and stack usage).
  3. Inside the function, the parameter type will be passed to another function or operation which supports both copy and move.
  4. It is common to pass a temporary as the argument - You can organize you code to do this more.

"

OTOH, for C++98 it is best to pass by reference - less data gets copied around. Passing const or non const depend of whether you need to change the argument or not.

How can I count the number of matches for a regex?

If you want to use Java 8 streams and are allergic to while loops, you could try this:

public static int countPattern(String references, Pattern referencePattern) {
    Matcher matcher = referencePattern.matcher(references);
    return Stream.iterate(0, i -> i + 1)
            .filter(i -> !matcher.find())
            .findFirst()
            .get();
}

Disclaimer: this only works for disjoint matches.

Example:

public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
    Pattern referencePattern = Pattern.compile("PASSENGER:\\d+");
    System.out.println(countPattern("[ \"PASSENGER:1\", \"PASSENGER:2\", \"AIR:1\", \"AIR:2\", \"FOP:2\" ]", referencePattern));
    System.out.println(countPattern("[ \"AIR:1\", \"AIR:2\", \"FOP:2\" ]", referencePattern));
    System.out.println(countPattern("[ \"AIR:1\", \"AIR:2\", \"FOP:2\", \"PASSENGER:1\" ]", referencePattern));
    System.out.println(countPattern("[  ]", referencePattern));
}

This prints out:

2
0
1
0

This is a solution for disjoint matches with streams:

public static int countPattern(String references, Pattern referencePattern) {
    return StreamSupport.stream(Spliterators.spliteratorUnknownSize(
            new Iterator<Integer>() {
                Matcher matcher = referencePattern.matcher(references);
                int from = 0;

                @Override
                public boolean hasNext() {
                    return matcher.find(from);
                }

                @Override
                public Integer next() {
                    from = matcher.start() + 1;
                    return 1;
                }
            },
            Spliterator.IMMUTABLE), false).reduce(0, (a, c) -> a + c);
}

Chmod 777 to a folder and all contents

If you are going for a console command it would be:

chmod -R 777 /www/store. The -R (or --recursive) options make it recursive.

Or if you want to make all the files in the current directory have all permissions type:

chmod -R 777 ./

If you need more info about chmod command see: File permission

Grep and Python

Concise and memory efficient:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# file: grep.py
import re, sys

map(sys.stdout.write,(l for l in sys.stdin if re.search(sys.argv[1],l)))

It works like egrep (without too much error handling), e.g.:

cat input-file | grep.py "RE"

And here is the one-liner:

cat input-file | python -c "import re,sys;map(sys.stdout.write,(l for l in sys.stdin if re.search(sys.argv[1],l)))" "RE"

How to use php serialize() and unserialize()

Most storage mediums can store string types. They can not directly store a PHP data structure such as an array or object, and they shouldn't, as that would couple the data storage medium with PHP.

Instead, serialize() allows you to store one of these structs as a string. It can be de-serialised from its string representation with unserialize().

If you are familiar with json_encode() and json_decode() (and JSON in general), the concept is similar.

"Use of undeclared type" in Swift, even though type is internal, and exists in same module

In my case, the TestTarget's compile sources were having files from the Main Target.

Ref:

Test Target contains files from main target in compile sources tab

Why this happens ?

  • This happens since we check the TestTarget association while creating the file

  • Or manually checking this option from the inspector.

    Ref:

How did i resolve ?

  • I removed the main target's files from compile source of Test Target

JavaScript naming conventions

One convention I'd like to try out is naming static modules with a 'the' prefix. Check this out. When I use someone else's module, it's not easy to see how I'm supposed to use it. eg:

define(['Lightbox'],function(Lightbox) {
  var myLightbox = new Lightbox() // not sure whether this is a constructor (non-static) or not
  myLightbox.show('hello')
})

I'm thinking about trying a convention where static modules use 'the' to indicate their preexistence. Has anyone seen a better way than this? Would look like this:

define(['theLightbox'],function(theLightbox) {
  theLightbox.show('hello') // since I recognize the 'the' convention, I know it's static
})

Resize command prompt through commands

Although the answers given here can be used to temporarily change window size, they don't seem to affect font size (at least not on my PC). I have an alternative way. I don't know if this what you're looking for but if you want to make changes automatically/permanently to Console font/window size, you can always do a script that edits the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%%SystemRoot%%_system32_cmd.exe
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%%SystemRoot%%_system32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe

Those keys deal with the consoles that come up when your run a script or press shift and select "open command prompt here". The Command Prompt entry in your start menu does not use the registry to store it's preferences but stores the prefs in the shortcut itself.

I have a monitor that I can run in 720p native or 1440p supersampling. I needed a quick way to change my console's font/window size, so I made these scripts. These scripts do two things: (1) change the font/window sizes in the registry and (2) swap out the shortcuts in the Start menu with ones that have a different window and font size. I basically made two sets of copies of the Command Prompt and Power Shell shortcuts and stored them in Documents. One set of shortcuts was configured with Consolas font size at 16 for my monitor is in 720p (called it "Command Prompt.720pRes.lnk") and another version of the same shortcut was configure with font size at 36 (called it "Command Prompt.HighRes.lnk"). The script will copy from the set I want to use to overwrite the Start menu one.

console-1440p.cmd:

::Assign New Window and Font Size for Windows Command Prompt
set CMDpNewFont=00240000
set CMDpNewWindowSize=000f0078

Can comments be used in JSON?

No, JSON cannot have comments directly. However, as suggested by this, you can achieve a similar effect by doing something like

{
    "//name": "Name comment here",
    "name": "Jack",

    "//age": "Age comment here",
    "age": "25"
}

Most JSON parsers will ignore properties that are not mapped.

How do you monitor network traffic on the iPhone?

Com'on, no mention of Fiddler? Where's the love :)

Fiddler is a very popular HTTP debugger aimed at developers and not network admins (i.e. Wireshark).

Setting it up for iOS is fairly simple process. It can decrypt HTTPS traffic too!

Our mobile team is finally reliefed after QA department started using Fiddler to troubleshoot issues. Before fiddler, people fiddled around to know who to blame, mobile team or APIs team, but not anymore.

jquery clear input default value

Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 1, current count = 0

I had the same error message, my mistake was that I had a semicolon at the end of COMMIT TRANSACTION line

Angularjs - display current date

Just my 2 cents in case someone stumble upon this :)

What I am suggesting here will have the same result as the current answer however it has been recommended to write your controller the way that I have mentioned here.

Reference scroll to the first "Note" (Sorry it doesn't have anchor)

Here is the recommended way:

Controller:

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);   
app.controller( 'MyCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.date = new Date();
}]);

View:

<div ng-app="myApp">
  <div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
    {{date | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'}}
  </div>
</div>

How to check if String is null

To sure, you should use function to check is null and empty as below:

SVG: text inside rect

This is not possible. If you want to display text inside a rect element you should put them both in a group with the text element coming after the rect element ( so it appears on top ).

Confused about UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK

Why would UPDLOCK block selects? The Lock Compatibility Matrix clearly shows N for the S/U and U/S contention, as in No Conflict.

As for the HOLDLOCK hint the documentation states:

HOLDLOCK: Is equivalent to SERIALIZABLE. For more information, see SERIALIZABLE later in this topic.

...

SERIALIZABLE: ... The scan is performed with the same semantics as a transaction running at the SERIALIZABLE isolation level...

and the Transaction Isolation Level topic explains what SERIALIZABLE means:

No other transactions can modify data that has been read by the current transaction until the current transaction completes.

Other transactions cannot insert new rows with key values that would fall in the range of keys read by any statements in the current transaction until the current transaction completes.

Therefore the behavior you see is perfectly explained by the product documentation:

  • UPDLOCK does not block concurrent SELECT nor INSERT, but blocks any UPDATE or DELETE of the rows selected by T1
  • HOLDLOCK means SERALIZABLE and therefore allows SELECTS, but blocks UPDATE and DELETES of the rows selected by T1, as well as any INSERT in the range selected by T1 (which is the entire table, therefore any insert).
  • (UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK): your experiment does not show what would block in addition to the case above, namely another transaction with UPDLOCK in T2:
    SELECT * FROM dbo.Test WITH (UPDLOCK) WHERE ...
  • TABLOCKX no need for explanations

The real question is what are you trying to achieve? Playing with lock hints w/o an absolute complete 110% understanding of the locking semantics is begging for trouble...

After OP edit:

I would like to select rows from a table and prevent the data in that table from being modified while I am processing it.

The you should use one of the higher transaction isolation levels. REPEATABLE READ will prevent the data you read from being modified. SERIALIZABLE will prevent the data you read from being modified and new data from being inserted. Using transaction isolation levels is the right approach, as opposed to using query hints. Kendra Little has a nice poster exlaining the isolation levels.

How to change navigation bar color in iOS 7 or 6?

Based on posted answered, this worked for me:

/* check for iOS 6 or 7 */
if ([[self navigationController].navigationBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBarTintColor:)]) {
    [[self navigationController].navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

} else {
    /* Set background and foreground */
    [[self navigationController].navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    [self navigationController].navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor blackColor],UITextAttributeTextColor,nil];

Apache POI Excel - how to configure columns to be expanded?

If you want to auto size all columns in a workbook, here is a method that might be useful:

public void autoSizeColumns(Workbook workbook) {
    int numberOfSheets = workbook.getNumberOfSheets();
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfSheets; i++) {
        Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(i);
        if (sheet.getPhysicalNumberOfRows() > 0) {
            Row row = sheet.getRow(sheet.getFirstRowNum());
            Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();
            while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
                Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
                int columnIndex = cell.getColumnIndex();
                sheet.autoSizeColumn(columnIndex);
            }
        }
    }

How to fix/convert space indentation in Sublime Text?

Importing Excel spreadsheet data into another Excel spreadsheet containing VBA

This should get you started: Using VBA in your own Excel workbook, have it prompt the user for the filename of their data file, then just copy that fixed range into your target workbook (that could be either the same workbook as your macro enabled one, or a third workbook). Here's a quick vba example of how that works:

' Get customer workbook...
Dim customerBook As Workbook
Dim filter As String
Dim caption As String
Dim customerFilename As String
Dim customerWorkbook As Workbook
Dim targetWorkbook As Workbook

' make weak assumption that active workbook is the target
Set targetWorkbook = Application.ActiveWorkbook

' get the customer workbook
filter = "Text files (*.xlsx),*.xlsx"
caption = "Please Select an input file "
customerFilename = Application.GetOpenFilename(filter, , caption)

Set customerWorkbook = Application.Workbooks.Open(customerFilename)

' assume range is A1 - C10 in sheet1
' copy data from customer to target workbook
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Set targetSheet = targetWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Dim sourceSheet As Worksheet
Set sourceSheet = customerWorkbook.Worksheets(1)

targetSheet.Range("A1", "C10").Value = sourceSheet.Range("A1", "C10").Value

' Close customer workbook
customerWorkbook.Close

Unique Key constraints for multiple columns in Entity Framework

In the accepted answer by @chuck, there is a comment saying it will not work in the case of FK.

it worked for me, case of EF6 .Net4.7.2

public class OnCallDay

     public int Id { get; set; }
    //[Key]
    [Index("IX_OnCallDateEmployee", 1, IsUnique = true)]
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("Employee")]
    [Index("IX_OnCallDateEmployee", 2, IsUnique = true)]
    public string EmployeeId { get; set; }
    public virtual ApplicationUser Employee{ get; set; }
}

Possible reason for NGINX 499 error codes

HTTP 499 in Nginx means that the client closed the connection before the server answered the request. In my experience is usually caused by client side timeout. As I know it's an Nginx specific error code.

Jenkins: Is there any way to cleanup Jenkins workspace?

IMPORTANT: It is safe to remove the workspace for a given Jenkins job as long as the job is not currently running!

NOTE: I am assuming your $JENKINS_HOME is set to the default: /var/jenkins_home.

Clean up one workspace

rm -rf /var/jenkins_home/workspaces/<workspace>

Clean up all workspaces

rm -rf /var/jenkins_home/workspaces/*

Clean up all workspaces with a few exceptions

This one uses grep to create a whitelist:

ls /var/jenkins_home/workspace \ 
  | grep -v -E '(job-to-skip|another-job-to-skip)$' \
  | xargs -I {} rm -rf /var/jenkins_home/workspace/{}

Clean up 10 largest workspaces

This one uses du and sort to list workspaces in order of largest to smallest. Then, it uses head to grab the first 10:

du -d 1 /var/jenkins_home/workspace \
  | sort -n -r \
  | head -n 10 \
  | xargs -I {} rm -rf /var/jenkins_home/workspace/{}

Why is visible="false" not working for a plain html table?

Who "they"? I don't think there's a visible attribute in html.

getElementById in React

You may have to perform a diff and put document.getElementById('name') code inside a condition, in case your component is something like this:

// using the new hooks API
function Comp(props) {
  const { isLoading, data } = props;
  useEffect(() => {
    if (data) {
      var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
    }
  }, [data]) // this diff is necessary

  if (isLoading) return <div>isLoading</div>
  return (
    <div id='name'>Comp</div>
  );
}

If diff is not performed then, you will get null.

Jquery mouseenter() vs mouseover()

See the example code and demo at the bottom of the jquery documentation page:

http://api.jquery.com/mouseenter/

... mouseover fires when the pointer moves into the child element as well, while mouseenter fires only when the pointer moves into the bound element.

Detecting when user scrolls to bottom of div with jQuery

this worked for me though

$(window).scroll(function() {
  if ($(window).scrollTop() >= (($(document).height() - $(window).height()) - $('#divID').innerHeight())) {
    console.log('div reached');
  }
});

Angular 2 - Redirect to an external URL and open in a new tab

you can do like this in your typescript code

onNavigate(){
var location="https://google.com",
}

In your html code add an anchor tag and pass that variable(location)

<a href="{{location}}" target="_blank">Redirect Location</a>

Suppose you have url like this www.google.com without http and you are not getting redirected to the given url then add http:// to the location like this

var location = 'http://'+ www.google.com

How do I break a string in YAML over multiple lines?

In case you're using YAML and Twig for translations in Symfony, and want to use multi-line translations in Javascript, a carriage return is added right after the translation. So even the following code:

var javascriptVariable = "{{- 'key'|trans -}}";

Which has the following yml translation:

key: >
    This is a
    multi line 
    translation.

Will still result into the following code in html:

var javascriptVariable = "This is a multi line translation.
";

So, the minus sign in Twig does not solve this. The solution is to add this minus sign after the greater than sign in yml:

key: >-
    This is a
    multi line 
    translation.

Will have the proper result, multi line translation on one line in Twig:

var javascriptVariable = "This is a multi line translation.";

JQuery .hasClass for multiple values in an if statement

For anyone wondering about some of the different performance aspects with all of these different options, I've created a jsperf case here: jsperf

In short, using element.hasClass('class') is the fastest.

Next best bet is using elem.hasClass('classA') || elem.hasClass('classB'). A note on this one: order matters! If the class 'classA' is more likely to be found, list it first! OR condition statements return as soon as one of them is met.

The worst performance by far was using element.is('.class').

Also listed in the jsperf is CyberMonk's function, and Kolja's solution.

Where does error CS0433 "Type 'X' already exists in both A.dll and B.dll " come from?

In our case, the reason was a difference in the .dll versions of to sites in IIS. They are placed under each other in IIS, letting you access the other thru a subdomain. It inherits from the first web.config, and combining that with the next web.config, it failed, having different versions of mvc.dll.

How to revert uncommitted changes including files and folders?

You can just use following git command which can revert back all the uncommitted changes made in your repository:

git checkout .

Example:

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   application/controllers/Drivers.php
        modified:   application/views/drivers/add.php
        modified:   application/views/drivers/load_driver_info.php
        modified:   uploads/drivers/drivers.xlsx

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

ABC@ABC-PC MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/pod_admin (master)
$ git checkout .

ABC@ABC-PC MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/pod_admin (master)

C++ IDE for Linux?

Although I use Vim, some of my co-workers use SlickEdit which looks pretty good. I'm not certain about integrated debugging because we wouldn't be able to do that on our particular project anyway.

SlickEdit does have good support for navigating large code bases, with cross referencing and tag jumping. Of course it has the basic stuff like syntax highlighting and code completion too.

What is the best way to prevent session hijacking?

There are many ways to create protection against session hijack, however all of them are either reducing user satisfaction or are not secure.

  • IP and/or X-FORWARDED-FOR checks. These work, and are pretty secure... but imagine the pain of users. They come to an office with WiFi, they get new IP address and lose the session. Got to log-in again.

  • User Agent checks. Same as above, new version of browser is out, and you lose a session. Additionally, these are really easy to "hack". It's trivial for hackers to send fake UA strings.

  • localStorage token. On log-on generate a token, store it in browser storage and store it to encrypted cookie (encrypted on server-side). This has no side-effects for user (localStorage persists through browser upgrades). It's not as secure - as it's just security through obscurity. Additionally you could add some logic (encryption/decryption) to JS to further obscure it.

  • Cookie reissuing. This is probably the right way to do it. The trick is to only allow one client to use a cookie at a time. So, active user will have cookie re-issued every hour or less. Old cookie is invalidated if new one is issued. Hacks are still possible, but much harder to do - either hacker or valid user will get access rejected.

How to add line break for UILabel?

It seems wrong to me to change the label frame sizes especially when using autolayout. Using the appendFormat method seems more appropriate. Here is my example:

NSMutableString *list = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
NSArray *textArray = @[@"AAAA", @"BBBB"];
for (NSString *string in textArray) {
    [list appendFormat:@"%@\n", string.mutableCopy];
}
self.label.text = list;
self.label.numberOfLines = 0;

How to install "ifconfig" command in my ubuntu docker image?

In case you want to use the Docker image as a "regular" Ubuntu installation, you can also run unminimize. This will install a lot more than ifconfig, so this might not be what you want.

how to get the base url in javascript

One way is to use a script tag to import the variables you want to your views:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.base_url = <?php echo json_encode(base_url()); ?>;
</script>

Here, I wrapped the base_url with json_encode so that it'll automatically escape any characters to valid Javascript. I put base_url to the global Window so you can use it anywhere just by calling base_url, but make sure to put the script tag above any Javascript that calls it. With your given example:

...
$('#style_color').attr("href", base_url + "assets/css/themes/" + color_ + ".css");

Horizontal ListView in Android?

My solution is to simply use ViewPager widget. It isn't center-locked as Gallery and has a built-in features for recycling views (as ListView). You may see similar approach at Google Play app, whenever you deal with horizontally scrollable lists.

You just need to extend PagerAdapter and perform a couple of tweaks there:

public class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

    private Context mContext;

    public MyPagerAdapter(Context context) {
        this.mContext = context;
    }

    // As per docs, you may use views as key objects directly 
    // if they aren't too complex
    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item, null);
        container.addView(view);
        return view;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        container.removeView((View) object);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 10;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view == object;
    }

    // Important: page takes all available width by default,
    // so let's override this method to fit 5 pages within single screen
    @Override
    public float getPageWidth(int position) {
        return 0.2f;
    }
}

As result, you'll have horizontally scrollable widget with adapter, like this: enter image description here

Why does Java have an "unreachable statement" compiler error?

It is Nanny. I feel .Net got this one right - it raises a warning for unreachable code, but not an error. It is good to be warned about it, but I see no reason to prevent compilation (especially during debugging sessions where it is nice to throw a return in to bypass some code).

What is the difference between getText() and getAttribute() in Selenium WebDriver?

  <input attr1='a' attr2='b' attr3='c'>foo</input>

getAttribute(attr1) you get 'a'

getAttribute(attr2) you get 'b'

getAttribute(attr3) you get 'c'

getText() with no parameter you can only get 'foo'

Content Type application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service

Maven project version inheritance - do I have to specify the parent version?

eFox's answer worked for a single project, but not when I was referencing a module from another one (the pom.xml were still stored in my .m2 with the property instead of the version).

However, it works if you combine it with the flatten-maven-plugin, since it generates the poms with the correct version, not the property.

The only option I changed in the plug-in definition is the outputDirectory, it's empty by default, but I prefer to have it in target, which is set in my .gitignore configuration:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
   <artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>1.0.1</version>
   <configuration>
      <updatePomFile>true</updatePomFile>
      <outputDirectory>target</outputDirectory>
   </configuration>
   <executions>
      <execution>
         <id>flatten</id>
         <phase>process-resources</phase>
         <goals>
            <goal>flatten</goal>
         </goals>
      </execution>
   </executions>
</plugin>

The plug-in configuration goes in the parent pom.xml

Found 'OR 1=1/* sql injection in my newsletter database

'OR 1=1 is an attempt to make a query succeed no matter what
The /* is an attempt to start a multiline comment so the rest of the query is ignored.

An example would be

SELECT userid 
FROM users 
WHERE username = ''OR 1=1/*' 
    AND password = ''
    AND domain = ''

As you can see if you were to populate the username field without escaping the ' no matter what credentials the user passes in the query would return all userids in the system likely granting access to the attacker (possibly admin access if admin is your first user). You will also notice the remainder of the query would be commented out because of the /* including the real '.

The fact that you can see the value in your database means that it was escaped and that particular attack did not succeed. However, you should investigate if any other attempts were made.

Delete all rows in an HTML table

Keep the <th> row in a <thead> and the other rows in a <tbody> then replace the <tbody> with a new, empty one.

i.e.

var new_tbody = document.createElement('tbody');
populate_with_new_rows(new_tbody);
old_tbody.parentNode.replaceChild(new_tbody, old_tbody)

PostgreSQL DISTINCT ON with different ORDER BY

A subquery can solve it:

SELECT *
FROM  (
    SELECT DISTINCT ON (address_id) *
    FROM   purchases
    WHERE  product_id = 1
    ) p
ORDER  BY purchased_at DESC;

Leading expressions in ORDER BY have to agree with columns in DISTINCT ON, so you can't order by different columns in the same SELECT.

Only use an additional ORDER BY in the subquery if you want to pick a particular row from each set:

SELECT *
FROM  (
    SELECT DISTINCT ON (address_id) *
    FROM   purchases
    WHERE  product_id = 1
    ORDER  BY address_id, purchased_at DESC  -- get "latest" row per address_id
    ) p
ORDER  BY purchased_at DESC;

If purchased_at can be NULL, use DESC NULLS LAST - and match your index for best performance. See:

Pandas join issue: columns overlap but no suffix specified

The error indicates that the two tables have the 1 or more column names that have the same column name.

Anyone with the same error who doesn't want to provide a suffix can rename the columns instead. Also make sure the index of both DataFrames match in type and value if you don't want to provide the on='mukey' setting.

# rename example
df_a = df_a.rename(columns={'a_old': 'a_new', 'a2_old': 'a2_new'})
# set the index
df_a = df_a.set_index(['mukus'])
df_b = df_b.set_index(['mukus'])

df_a.join(df_b)

error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL': value '0' doesn't match value '2' in main.obj

In VS2010 iterator debug level defaults to 2 in debug and is disabled in release. One of the dlls you are using probably has iterator debugging turned off in debug either because it was built in an older version of visual studio or they explicitly added the defines to the project.

Search for _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL and _SECURE_SCL remove them or set them appropriately in all projects and sources and rebuild everything.

_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL = 0 // disabled (for release builds)
_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL = 1 // enabled (if _SECURE_SCL is defined)
_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL = 2 // enabled (for debug builds)

In short you are probably mixing release and debug dlls. Don't linked release dlls in debug or vice versa!

How can I make a JUnit test wait?

You can use java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit library which internally uses Thread.sleep. The syntax should look like this :

@Test
public void testExipres(){
    SomeCacheObject sco = new SomeCacheObject();
    sco.putWithExipration("foo", 1000);

    TimeUnit.MINUTES.sleep(2);

    assertNull(sco.getIfNotExipred("foo"));
}

This library provides more clear interpretation for time unit. You can use 'HOURS'/'MINUTES'/'SECONDS'.

Python mysqldb: Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib

I had this issue and it took me for a while to figure out how to fix that.

My case is slightly different. My MySQL server is of version 5.1.x. And somehow I upgraded my MySQL-python from 1.2.3 to 1.2.5. And I kept getting this issue since then event I added the following soft link.

libmysqlclient.18.dylib -> /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

It turns out that for MySQL 5.1.x there is no libmysqlclient.18.dylib, but only libmysqlclient.16.dylib. You can fix this issue either by downgrade your MySQL-python to 1.2.3 or upgrade your MySQL server to 5.6.x (I haven't tried 5.5.x.)

I downgraded the library to 1.2.3 since upgrading MySQL is not an option for me.

Does return stop a loop?

In most cases (including this one), return will exit immediately. However, if the return is in a try block with an accompanying finally block, the finally always executes and can "override" the return in the try.

function foo() {
    try {
        for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            if (i % 3 == 0) {
                return i; // This executes once
            }
        }
    } finally {
        return 42; // But this still executes
    }
}

console.log(foo()); // Prints 42

How to create an email form that can send email using html

As many answers in this thread already suggest it is not possible to send a mail from a static HTML page without using PHP or JS. I just wanted to add that there a some great solutions which will take your HTTP Post request generated by your form and create a mail from it. Those solutions are especially useful in case you do not want to add JS or PHP to your website.

Those servers basically can be configured with a mail-server which is responsible for then sending the email. The receiver, subject, body etc. is received by the server from your HTTP(S) post and then stuffed into the mail you want to send. So technically speaking it is still not possible to send mails from your HTML form but the outcome is the same.

Some of these solutions can be bought as SaaS solution or you can host them by yourself. I'll just name a few but I'm sure there are plenty in case anyone is interested in the technology or the service itself.

MSSQL Regular expression

Disclaimer: The original question was about MySQL. The SQL Server answer is below.

MySQL

In MySQL, the regex syntax is the following:

SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE (`url` NOT REGEXP '^[-A-Za-z0-9/.]+$') 

Use the REGEXP clause instead of LIKE. The latter is for pattern matching using % and _ wildcards.


SQL Server

Since you made a typo, and you're using SQL Server (not MySQL), you'll have to create a user-defined CLR function to expose regex functionality.

Take a look at this article for more details.

Load HTML page dynamically into div with jQuery

JQuery load works, but it will strip out javascript and other elements from the source page. This makes sense because you might not want to introduce bad script on your page. I think this is a limitation and since you are doing a whole page and not just a div on the source page, you might not want to use it. (I am not sure about css, but I think it would also get stripped)

In this example, if you put a tag around the body of your source page, it will grab anything in between the tags and won't strip anything out. I wrap my source page with and .

This solution will grab everything between the above delimiters. I feel it is a much more robust solution than a simple load.

  var content = $('.contentDiv');
    content.load(urlAddress, function (response, status, xhr) {
        var fullPageTextAsString = response;
        var pageTextBetweenDelimiters = fullPageTextAsString.substring(fullPageTextAsString.indexOf("<jqueryloadmarkerstart />"), fullPageTextAsString.indexOf("<jqueryloadmarkerend />"));
        content.html(pageTextBetweenDelimiters);
    });

How do you configure HttpOnly cookies in tomcat / java webapps?

For session cookies it doesn't seem to be supported in Tomcat yet. See the bug report Need to add support for HTTPOnly session cookie parameter. A somewhat involved work-around for now can be found here, which basically boils down to manually patching Tomcat. Can't really find an easy way to do it at this moment at this point I'm affraid.

To summarize the work-around, it involves downloading the 5.5 source, and then change the source in the following places:

org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.java

//this is what needs to be changed
//response.addCookieInternal(cookie);

//this is whats new
response.addCookieInternal(cookie, true);
}

org.apache.catalina.connectorResponse.addCookieInternal

public void addCookieInternal(final Cookie cookie) {
addCookieInternal(cookie, false);
}

public void addCookieInternal(final Cookie cookie, boolean HTTPOnly) {

if (isCommitted())
return;

final StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
//web application code can receive a IllegalArgumentException
//from the appendCookieValue invokation
if (SecurityUtil.isPackageProtectionEnabled()) {
AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
public Object run(){
ServerCookie.appendCookieValue
(sb, cookie.getVersion(), cookie.getName(),
cookie.getValue(), cookie.getPath(),
cookie.getDomain(), cookie.getComment(),
cookie.getMaxAge(), cookie.getSecure());
return null;
}
});
} else {
ServerCookie.appendCookieValue
(sb, cookie.getVersion(), cookie.getName(), cookie.getValue(),
cookie.getPath(), cookie.getDomain(), cookie.getComment(),
cookie.getMaxAge(), cookie.getSecure());
}
//of course, we really need to modify ServerCookie
//but this is the general idea
if (HTTPOnly) {
sb.append("; HttpOnly");
}

//if we reached here, no exception, cookie is valid
// the header name is Set-Cookie for both "old" and v.1 ( RFC2109 )
// RFC2965 is not supported by browsers and the Servlet spec
// asks for 2109.
addHeader("Set-Cookie", sb.toString());

cookies.add(cookie);
}

Adding a regression line on a ggplot

I found this function on a blog

 ggplotRegression <- function (fit) {

    `require(ggplot2)

    ggplot(fit$model, aes_string(x = names(fit$model)[2], y = names(fit$model)[1])) + 
      geom_point() +
      stat_smooth(method = "lm", col = "red") +
      labs(title = paste("Adj R2 = ",signif(summary(fit)$adj.r.squared, 5),
                         "Intercept =",signif(fit$coef[[1]],5 ),
                         " Slope =",signif(fit$coef[[2]], 5),
                         " P =",signif(summary(fit)$coef[2,4], 5)))
    }`

once you loaded the function you could simply

ggplotRegression(fit)

you can also go for ggplotregression( y ~ x + z + Q, data)

Hope this helps.

Boolean Field in Oracle

The best option is 0 and 1 (as numbers - another answer suggests 0 and 1 as CHAR for space-efficiency but that's a bit too twisted for me), using NOT NULL and a check constraint to limit contents to those values. (If you need the column to be nullable, then it's not a boolean you're dealing with but an enumeration with three values...)

Advantages of 0/1:

  • Language independent. 'Y' and 'N' would be fine if everyone used it. But they don't. In France they use 'O' and 'N' (I have seen this with my own eyes). I haven't programmed in Finland to see whether they use 'E' and 'K' there - no doubt they're smarter than that, but you can't be sure.
  • Congruent with practice in widely-used programming languages (C, C++, Perl, Javascript)
  • Plays better with the application layer e.g. Hibernate
  • Leads to more succinct SQL, for example, to find out how many bananas are ready to eat select sum(is_ripe) from bananas instead of select count(*) from bananas where is_ripe = 'Y' or even (yuk) select sum(case is_ripe when 'Y' then 1 else 0) from bananas

Advantages of 'Y'/'N':

  • Takes up less space than 0/1
  • It's what Oracle suggests, so might be what some people are more used to

Another poster suggested 'Y'/null for performance gains. If you've proven that you need the performance, then fair enough, but otherwise avoid since it makes querying less natural (some_column is null instead of some_column = 0) and in a left join you'll conflate falseness with nonexistent records.

Java 8 Filter Array Using Lambda

even simpler, adding up to String[],

use built-in filter filter(StringUtils::isNotEmpty) of org.apache.commons.lang3

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

    String test = "a\nb\n\nc\n";
    String[] lines = test.split("\\n", -1);


    String[]  result = Arrays.stream(lines).filter(StringUtils::isNotEmpty).toArray(String[]::new);
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(lines));
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(result));

and output: [a, b, , c, ] [a, b, c]

Finding the max value of an attribute in an array of objects

disable editing default value of text input

I don't think all the other answerers understood the question correctly. The question requires disabling editing part of the text. One solution I can think of is simulating a textbox with a fixed prefix which is not part of the textarea or input.

An example of this approach is:

<div style="border:1px solid gray; color:#999999; font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; width:200px; white-space:nowrap;">Default Notes<br/>
<textarea style="border:0px solid black;" cols="39" rows="5"></textarea></div>

The other approach, which I end up using is using JS and JQuery to simulate "Disable" feature. Example with pseudo-code (cannot be specific cause of legal issue):

  // disable existing notes by preventing keystroke
  document.getElementById("txtNotes").addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
    if (cursorLocation < defaultNoteLength ) {
            e.preventDefault();
  });

    // disable existing notes by preventing right click
    document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function (e) {
        if (cursorLocation < defaultNoteLength )
            e.preventDefault();
    });

Thanks, Carsten, for mentioning that this question is old, but I found that the solution might help other people in the future.

String to HtmlDocument

you could get a htmldocument by:

 string s = reader.ReadToEnd();

 HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
 doc.LoadHtml(s);

so you have getbiyid and getbyname ... but any further you'd better of with

btw: why not regex ? . its soo cool if you can use it right... but xpath is also very mighty ... so "choose your poison"

WCF named pipe minimal example

Check out my highly simplified Echo example: It is designed to use basic HTTP communication, but it can easily be modified to use named pipes by editing the app.config files for the client and server. Make the following changes:

Edit the server's app.config file, removing or commenting out the http baseAddress entry and adding a new baseAddress entry for the named pipe (called net.pipe). Also, if you don't intend on using HTTP for a communication protocol, make sure the serviceMetadata and serviceDebug is either commented out or deleted:

<configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <services>
            <service name="com.aschneider.examples.wcf.services.EchoService">
                <host>
                    <baseAddresses>
                        <add baseAddress="net.pipe://localhost/EchoService"/>
                    </baseAddresses>
                </host>
            </service>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors></serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Edit the client's app.config file so that the basicHttpBinding is either commented out or deleted and a netNamedPipeBinding entry is added. You will also need to change the endpoint entry to use the pipe:

<configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <netNamedPipeBinding>
                <binding name="NetNamedPipeBinding_IEchoService"/>
            </netNamedPipeBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address              = "net.pipe://localhost/EchoService"
                      binding              = "netNamedPipeBinding"
                      bindingConfiguration = "NetNamedPipeBinding_IEchoService"
                      contract             = "EchoServiceReference.IEchoService"
                      name                 = "NetNamedPipeBinding_IEchoService"/>
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

The above example will only run with named pipes, but nothing is stopping you from using multiple protocols to run your service. AFAIK, you should be able to have a server run a service using both named pipes and HTTP (as well as other protocols).

Also, the binding in the client's app.config file is highly simplified. There are many different parameters you can adjust, aside from just specifying the baseAddress...

How to display image from database using php

<?php
    $conn = mysql_connect ("localhost:3306","root","");
    $db = mysql_select_db ("database_name", $conn);

    if(!$db) {
        echo mysql_error();
    }

    $q = "SELECT image FROM table_name where id=4";
    $r = mysql_query ("$q",$conn);
    if($r) {
         while($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)) {
            header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");       
    echo $row ["image"];
        }
    }else{
        echo mysql_error();
    }
    ?>

sometimes problem may  occures because of port number of mysql server is incoreect to avoid it just write port number with host name like this "localhost:3306" 
in case if you have installed two mysql servers on same system then write port according to that

in order to display any data from database please make sure following steps
1.proper connection with sql
2.select database
3.write query 
4.write correct table name inside the query
5.and last is traverse through data

SSH Port forwarding in a ~/.ssh/config file?

Can I have an IF block in DOS batch file?

I ran across this article in the results returned by a search related to the IF command in a batch file, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to correct the misconception that IF blocks are limited to single commands. Following is a portion of a production Windows NT command script that runs daily on the machine on which I am composing this reply.

    if "%COPYTOOL%" equ "R" (
    WWLOGGER.exe "%APPDATA%\WizardWrx\%~n0.LOG" "Using RoboCopy to make a backup of %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Outlook Files\*"
    %TOOLPATH% %SRCEPATH% %DESTPATH% /copyall %RCLOGSTR% /m /np /r:0 /tee
    C:\BIN\ExitCodeMapper.exe C:\BIN\ExitCodeMapper.INI[Robocopy] %TEMP%\%~n0.TMP %ERRORLEVEL%
) else (
    WWLOGGER.exe "%APPDATA%\WizardWrx\%~n0.LOG" "Using XCopy to make a backup of %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Outlook Files\*"
    call %TOOLPATH%  "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Outlook Files\*" "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Outlook Files\_backups" /f /m /v /y
    C:\BIN\ExitCodeMapper.exe C:\BIN\ExitCodeMapper.INI[Xcopy] %TEMP%\%~n0.TMP %ERRORLEVEL%
)

Perhaps blocks of two or more lines applies exclusively to Windows NT command scripts (.CMD files), because a search of the production scripts directory of an application that is restricted to old school batch (.BAT) files, revealed only one-command blocks. Since the application has gone into extended maintenance (meaning that I am not actively involved in supporting it), I can't say whether that is because I didn't need more than one line, or that I couldn't make them work.

Regardless, if the latter is true, there is a simple workaround; move the multiple lines into either a separate batch file or a batch file subroutine. I know that the latter works in both kinds of scripts.

How do you change the datatype of a column in SQL Server?

The syntax to modify a column in an existing table in SQL Server (Transact-SQL) is:

ALTER TABLE table_name
    ALTER COLUMN column_name column_type;

For example:

ALTER TABLE employees
    ALTER COLUMN last_name VARCHAR(75) NOT NULL;

This SQL Server ALTER TABLE example will modify the column called last_name to be a data type of VARCHAR(75) and force the column to not allow null values.

Get week of year in JavaScript like in PHP

This adds "getWeek" method to Date.prototype which returns number of week from the beginning of the year. The argument defines which day of the week to consider the first. If no argument passed, first day is assumed Sunday.

/**
 * Get week number in the year.
 * @param  {Integer} [weekStart=0]  First day of the week. 0-based. 0 for Sunday, 6 for Saturday.
 * @return {Integer}                0-based number of week.
 */
Date.prototype.getWeek = function(weekStart) {
    var januaryFirst = new Date(this.getFullYear(), 0, 1);
    if(weekStart !== undefined && (typeof weekStart !== 'number' || weekStart % 1 !== 0 || weekStart < 0 || weekStart > 6)) {
      throw new Error('Wrong argument. Must be an integer between 0 and 6.');
    }
    weekStart = weekStart || 0;
    return Math.floor((((this - januaryFirst) / 86400000) + januaryFirst.getDay() - weekStart) / 7);
};

How to install a specific version of package using Composer?

As @alucic mentioned, use:

composer require vendor/package:version

or you can use:

composer update vendor/package:version

You should probably review this StackOverflow post about differences between composer install and composer update.

Related to question about version numbers, you can review Composer documentation on versions, but here in short:

  • Tilde Version Range (~) - ~1.2.3 is equivalent to >=1.2.3 <1.3.0
  • Caret Version Range (^) - ^1.2.3 is equivalent to >=1.2.3 <2.0.0

So, with Tilde you will get automatic updates of patches but minor and major versions will not be updated. However, if you use Caret you will get patches and minor versions, but you will not get major (breaking changes) versions.

Tilde Version is considered a "safer" approach, but if you are using reliable dependencies (well-maintained libraries) you should not have any problems with Caret Version (because minor changes should not be breaking changes.

How do I style a <select> dropdown with only CSS?

<select> tags can be styled through CSS just like any other HTML element on an HTML page rendered in a browser. Below is an (overly simple) example that will position a select element on the page and render the text of the options in blue.

Example HTML file (selectExample.html):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <title>Select Styling</title>
  <link href="selectExample.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<select id="styledSelect" class="blueText">
  <option value="apple">Apple</option>
  <option value="orange">Orange</option>
  <option value="cherry">Cherry</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>

Example CSS file (selectExample.css):

/* All select elements on page */
select {
  position: relative;
}

/* Style by class. Effects the text of the contained options. */
.blueText {
  color: #0000FF;
}

/* Style by id. Effects position of the select drop down. */
#styledSelect {
  left: 100px;
}

How to use 'find' to search for files created on a specific date?

You could do this:

find ./ -type f -ls |grep '10 Sep'

Example:

791235    4 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root           29 Dec 24 03:24 /var/lib/prelink/full
798227  288 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root       292323 Dec 24 23:53 /var/log/sa/sar24
797244  320 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root       321300 Dec 24 23:50 /var/log/sa/sa24

does linux shell support list data structure?

It supports lists, but not as a separate data structure (ignoring arrays for the moment).

The for loop iterates over a list (in the generic sense) of white-space separated values, regardless of how that list is created, whether literally:

for i in 1 2 3; do
    echo "$i"
done

or via parameter expansion:

listVar="1 2 3"
for i in $listVar; do
    echo "$i"
done

or command substitution:

for i in $(echo 1; echo 2; echo 3); do
    echo "$i"
done

An array is just a special parameter which can contain a more structured list of value, where each element can itself contain whitespace. Compare the difference:

array=("item 1" "item 2" "item 3")
for i in "${array[@]}"; do   # The quotes are necessary here
    echo "$i"
done

list='"item 1" "item 2" "item 3"'
for i in $list; do
    echo $i
done
for i in "$list"; do
    echo $i
done
for i in ${array[@]}; do
    echo $i
done

Why am I getting tree conflicts in Subversion?

I found the solution reading the link that Gary gave (and I suggest to follow this way).

Summarizing to resolve the tree conflict committing your working directory with SVN client 1.6.x you can use:

svn resolve --accept working -R .

where . is the directory in conflict.

WARNING: "Committing your working directory" means that your sandbox structure will be the one you are committing, so if, for instance, you deleted some file from your sandbox they will be deleted from the repository too. This applies only to the conflicted directory.

In this way, we are suggesting SVN to resolve the conflict (--resolve), accepting the working copy inside your sandbox (--accept working), recursively (-R), starting from the current directory (.).

In TortoiseSVN, selecting "Resolved" on right click, actually resolves this issue.

How to get mouse position in jQuery without mouse-events?

You can't read mouse position in jQuery without using an event. Note firstly that the event.pageX and event.pageY properties exists on any event, so you could do:

$('#myEl').click(function(e) {
    console.log(e.pageX);
});

Your other option is to use a closure to give your whole code access to a variable that is updated by a mousemove handler:

var mouseX, mouseY;
$(document).mousemove(function(e) {
    mouseX = e.pageX;
    mouseY = e.pageY;
}).mouseover(); // call the handler immediately

// do something with mouseX and mouseY

Add CSS box shadow around the whole DIV

The CSS code would be:

box-shadow: 0 0 10px 5px white;

That will shadow the entire DIV no matter its shape!

One liner for If string is not null or empty else

There is a null coalescing operator (??), but it would not handle empty strings.

If you were only interested in dealing with null strings, you would use it like

string output = somePossiblyNullString ?? "0";

For your need specifically, there is the conditional operator bool expr ? true_value : false_value that you can use to simplify if/else statement blocks that set or return a value.

string output = string.IsNullOrEmpty(someString) ? "0" : someString;

Compiling/Executing a C# Source File in Command Prompt

While it is definitely a good thing knowing how to build at the command line, for most work it might be easier to use an IDE. The C# express edition is free and very good for the money ;-p

Alternatively, things like snippy can be used to run fragments of C# code.

Finally - note that the command line is implementation specific; for MS, it is csc; for mono, it is gmcs and friends.... Likewise, to execute: it is just "exename" for the MS version, but typically "mono exename" for mono.

Finally, many projects are build with build script tools; MSBuild, NAnt, etc.

Quickly create a large file on a Linux system

I don't think you're going to get much faster than dd. The bottleneck is the disk; writing hundreds of GB of data to it is going to take a long time no matter how you do it.

But here's a possibility that might work for your application. If you don't care about the contents of the file, how about creating a "virtual" file whose contents are the dynamic output of a program? Instead of open()ing the file, use popen() to open a pipe to an external program. The external program generates data whenever it's needed. Once the pipe is open, it acts just like a regular file in that the program that opened the pipe can fseek(), rewind(), etc. You'll need to use pclose() instead of close() when you're done with the pipe.

If your application needs the file to be a certain size, it will be up to the external program to keep track of where in the "file" it is and send an eof when the "end" has been reached.

Linux command (like cat) to read a specified quantity of characters

Even though this was answered/accepted years ago, the presently accepted answer is only correct for one-byte-per-character encodings like iso-8859-1, or for the single-byte subsets of variable-byte character sets (like Latin characters within UTF-8). Even using multiple-byte splices instead would still only work for fixed-multibyte encodings like UTF-16. Given that now UTF-8 is well on its way to being a universal standard, and when looking at this list of languages by number of native speakers and this list of top 30 languages by native/secondary usage, it is important to point out a simple variable-byte character-friendly (not byte-based) technique, using cut -c and tr/sed with character-classes.

Compare the following which doubly fails due to two common Latin-centric mistakes/presumptions regarding the bytes vs. characters issue (one is head vs. cut, the other is [a-z][A-Z] vs. [:upper:][:lower:]):

$ printf '??? µp??? ?a µ??? sa?s???t???;\n' | \
$     head -c 1 | \
$     sed -e 's/[A-Z]/[a-z]/g'
[[unreadable binary mess, or nothing if the terminal filtered it]]

to this (note: this worked fine on FreeBSD, but both cut & tr on GNU/Linux still mangled Greek in UTF-8 for me though):

$ printf '??? µp??? ?a µ??? sa?s???t???;\n' | \
$     cut -c 1 | \
$     tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
p

Another more recent answer had already proposed "cut", but only because of the side issue that it can be used to specify arbitrary offsets, not because of the directly relevant character vs. bytes issue.

If your cut doesn't handle -c with variable-byte encodings correctly, for "the first X characters" (replace X with your number) you could try:

  • sed -E -e '1 s/^(.{X}).*$/\1/' -e q - which is limited to the first line though
  • head -n 1 | grep -E -o '^.{X}' - which is limited to the first line and chains two commands though
  • dd - which has already been suggested in other answers, but is really cumbersome
  • A complicated sed script with sliding window buffer to handle characters spread over multiple lines, but that is probably more cumbersome/fragile than just using something like dd

If your tr doesn't handle character-classes with variable-byte encodings correctly you could try:

  • sed -E -e 's/[[:upper:]]/\L&/g (GNU-specific)

How to run DOS/CMD/Command Prompt commands from VB.NET?

You could try this method:

Public Class MyUtilities
    Shared Sub RunCommandCom(command as String, arguments as String, permanent as Boolean) 
        Dim p as Process = new Process() 
        Dim pi as ProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo() 
        pi.Arguments = " " + if(permanent = true, "/K" , "/C") + " " + command + " " + arguments 
        pi.FileName = "cmd.exe" 
        p.StartInfo = pi 
        p.Start() 
    End Sub
End Class

call, for example, in this way:

MyUtilities.RunCommandCom("DIR", "/W", true)

EDIT: For the multiple command on one line the key are the & | && and || command connectors

  • A & B → execute command A, then execute command B.
  • A | B → execute command A, and redirect all it's output into the input of command B.
  • A && B → execute command A, evaluate the errorlevel after running Command A, and if the exit code (errorlevel) is 0, only then execute command B.
  • A || B → execute Command A, evaluate the exit code of this command and if it's anything but 0, only then execute command B.

Converting characters to integers in Java

43 is the dec ascii number for the "+" symbol. That explains why you get a 43 back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

.setAttribute("disabled", false); changes editable attribute to false

Try doing this instead:

function enable(id)
{
    var eleman = document.getElementById(id);
    eleman.removeAttribute("disabled");        
}

To enable an element you have to remove the disabled attribute. Setting it to false still means it is disabled.

Maximum Java heap size of a 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit OS

As to why a 32-bit JVM is used instead of a 64-bit one, the reason is not technical but rather administrative/bureaucratic ...

When I was working for BEA, we found that the average application actually ran slower in a 64-bit JVM, then it did when running in a 32-bit JVM. In some cases, the performance hit was as high as 25% slower. So, unless your application really needs all that extra memory, you were better off setting up more 32-bit servers.

As I recall, the three most common technical justifications for using a 64-bit that BEA professional services personnel ran into were:

  1. The application was manipulating multiple massive images,
  2. The application was doing massive number crunching,
  3. The application had a memory leak, the customer was the prime on a government contract, and they didn't want to take the time and the expense of tracking down the memory leak. (Using a massive memory heap would increase the MTBF and the prime would still get paid)

Android: Unable to add window. Permission denied for this window type

Firstly you make sure you have add permission in manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

Check if the application has draw over other apps permission or not? This permission is by default available for API<23. But for API > 23 you have to ask for the permission in runtime.

Cannot use Server.MapPath

You need to add reference (System.Web) Reference to System.Web

"No X11 DISPLAY variable" - what does it mean?

There are many ways to do this. I did something below convenient to me and always works fine.

  1. On your remote server, make sure to install xorg-x11-xauth, xorg-x11-font-utils, xorg-x11-fonts.
  2. Run the Xming Server on you local desktop
  3. On putty, before ssh to the server, enable the X11 forwarding and set the display location to localhost:0.0
  4. On the server, .Xauthority file is generated and notice that the DISPLAY variable is already set.

    $ xauth list

    $ xauth add

To test it, type xclock or xeyes

Note: To switch user, copy the .Xauthority file to the home directory of the respective user and also export the DISPLAY variable from that user.

Alternative to itoa() for converting integer to string C++?

On Windows CE derived platforms, there are no iostreams by default. The way to go there is preferaby with the _itoa<> family, usually _itow<> (since most string stuff are Unicode there anyway).

How Stuff and 'For Xml Path' work in SQL Server?

This article covers various ways of concatenating strings in SQL, including an improved version of your code which doesn't XML-encode the concatenated values.

SELECT ID, abc = STUFF
(
    (
        SELECT ',' + name
        FROM temp1 As T2
        -- You only want to combine rows for a single ID here:
        WHERE T2.ID = T1.ID
        ORDER BY name
        FOR XML PATH (''), TYPE
    ).value('.', 'varchar(max)')
, 1, 1, '')
FROM temp1 As T1
GROUP BY id

To understand what's happening, start with the inner query:

SELECT ',' + name
FROM temp1 As T2
WHERE T2.ID = 42 -- Pick a random ID from the table
ORDER BY name
FOR XML PATH (''), TYPE

Because you're specifying FOR XML, you'll get a single row containing an XML fragment representing all of the rows.

Because you haven't specified a column alias for the first column, each row would be wrapped in an XML element with the name specified in brackets after the FOR XML PATH. For example, if you had FOR XML PATH ('X'), you'd get an XML document that looked like:

<X>,aaa</X>
<X>,bbb</X>
...

But, since you haven't specified an element name, you just get a list of values:

,aaa,bbb,...

The .value('.', 'varchar(max)') simply retrieves the value from the resulting XML fragment, without XML-encoding any "special" characters. You now have a string that looks like:

',aaa,bbb,...'

The STUFF function then removes the leading comma, giving you a final result that looks like:

'aaa,bbb,...'

It looks quite confusing at first glance, but it does tend to perform quite well compared to some of the other options.

How do I put an already-running process under nohup?

Using the Job Control of bash to send the process into the background:

  1. Ctrl+Z to stop (pause) the program and get back to the shell.
  2. bg to run it in the background.
  3. disown -h [job-spec] where [job-spec] is the job number (like %1 for the first running job; find about your number with the jobs command) so that the job isn't killed when the terminal closes.

Link to the issue number on GitHub within a commit message

You can also cross reference repos:

githubuser/repository#xxx

xxx being the issue number

javascript create array from for loop

even shorter if you can lose the yearStart value:

var yearStart = 2000;
var yearEnd = 2040;

var arr = [];

while(yearStart < yearEnd+1){
  arr.push(yearStart++);
}

UPDATE: If you can use the ES6 syntax you can do it the way proposed here:

let yearStart = 2000;
let yearEnd = 2040;
let years = Array(yearEnd-yearStart+1)
    .fill()
    .map(() => yearStart++);

What is the purpose of the HTML "no-js" class?

Modernizr.js will remove the no-js class.

This allows you to make CSS rules for .no-js something to apply them only if Javascript is disabled.

How to SELECT a dropdown list item by value programmatically

This is a simple way to select an option from a dropdownlist based on a string val

private void SetDDLs(DropDownList d,string val)
    {
        ListItem li;
        for (int i = 0; i < d.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            li = d.Items[i];
            if (li.Value == val)
            {
                d.SelectedIndex = i;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
