Line clamp is a proprietary and undocumented CSS (webkit) : https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-line-clamp, so it currently work on only few browsers.

Removed duplicated 'display' property + removed unnecessary 'text-overflow: ellipsis'.

Where do I find the line number in the Xcode editor?

To save $4.99 for a one time use and no dealing with HomeBrew and no counting empty lines.

  1. Open Terminal
  2. cd to your Xcode project
  3. Execute the following when inside your target project:

find . -name "*.swift" -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l

If you want to exclude pods:

find . -path ./Pods -prune -o -name "*.swift" -print0 ! -name "/Pods" | xargs -0 wc -l

If your project has objective c and swift:

find . -type d \( -path ./Pods -o -path ./Vendor \) -prune -o \( -iname \*.m -o -iname \*.mm -o -iname \*.h -o -iname \*.swift \) -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l

Cannot use mkdir in home directory: permission denied (Linux Lubuntu)

As @kirbyfan64sos notes in a comment, /home is NOT your home directory (a.k.a. home folder):

The fact that /home is an absolute, literal path that has no user-specific component provides a clue.

While /home happens to be the parent directory of all user-specific home directories on Linux-based systems, you shouldn't even rely on that, given that this differs across platforms: for instance, the equivalent directory on macOS is /Users.

What all Unix platforms DO have in common are the following ways to navigate to / refer to your home directory:

  • Using cd with NO argument changes to your home dir., i.e., makes your home dir. the working directory.
    • e.g.: cd # changes to home dir; e.g., '/home/jdoe'
  • Unquoted ~ by itself / unquoted ~/ at the start of a path string represents your home dir. / a path starting at your home dir.; this is referred to as tilde expansion (see man bash)
    • e.g.: echo ~ # outputs, e.g., '/home/jdoe'
  • $HOME - as part of either unquoted or preferably a double-quoted string - refers to your home dir. HOME is a predefined, user-specific environment variable:
    • e.g.: cd "$HOME/tmp" # changes to your personal folder for temp. files

Thus, to create the desired folder, you could use:

mkdir "$HOME/bin"  # same as: mkdir ~/bin

Note that most locations outside your home dir. require superuser (root user) privileges in order to create files or directories - that's why you ran into the Permission denied error.

"unary operator expected" error in Bash if condition

You can also set a default value for the variable, so you don't need to use two "[", which amounts to two processes ("[" is actually a program) instead of one.

It goes by this syntax: ${VARIABLE:-default}.

The whole thing has to be thought in such a way that this "default" value is something distinct from a "valid" value/content.

If that's not possible for some reason you probably need to add a step like checking if there's a value at all, along the lines of "if [ -z $VARIABLE ] ; then echo "the variable needs to be filled"", or "if [ ! -z $VARIABLE ] ; then #everything is fine, proceed with the rest of the script".

How to install PostgreSQL's pg gem on Ubuntu?

If you have libpq-dev installed and are still having this problem it is likely due to conflicting versions of OpenSSL's libssl and friends - the Ubuntu system version in /usr/lib (which libpq is built against) and a second version RVM installed in $HOME/.rvm/usr/lib (or /usr/local/rvm/usr/lib if it's a system install). You can verify this by temporarily renaming $HOME/.rvm/usr/lib and seeing if "gem install pg" works.

To solve the problem have rvm rebuild using the system OpenSSL libraries (you may need to manually remove libssl.* and libcrypto.* from the rvm/usr/lib dir):

rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=/usr

This finally solved the problem for me on Ubunto 12.04.

html "data-" attribute as javascript parameter

If you are using jQuery you can easily fetch the data attributes by

Where do I call the BatchNormalization function in Keras?

This thread has some considerable debate about whether BN should be applied before non-linearity of current layer or to the activations of the previous layer.

Although there is no correct answer, the authors of Batch Normalization say that It should be applied immediately before the non-linearity of the current layer. The reason ( quoted from original paper) -

"We add the BN transform immediately before the nonlinearity, by normalizing x = Wu+b. We could have also normalized the layer inputs u, but since u is likely the output of another nonlinearity, the shape of its distribution is likely to change during training, and constraining its first and second moments would not eliminate the covariate shift. In contrast, Wu + b is more likely to have a symmetric, non-sparse distribution, that is “more Gaussian” (Hyv¨arinen & Oja, 2000); normalizing it is likely to produce activations with a stable distribution."

Passing command line arguments in Visual Studio 2010?

  1. Right click on Project Name.
  2. Select Properties and click.
  3. Then, select Debugging and provide your enough argument into Command Arguments box.

Note:

  • Also, check Configuration type and Platform.

After that, Click Apply and OK.

Save multiple sheets to .pdf

I recommend adding the following line after the export to PDF:

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Select

(where eg. Sheet1 is the single sheet you want to be active afterwards)

Leaving multiple sheets in a selected state may cause problems executing some code. (eg. unprotect doesn't function properly when multiple sheets are actively selected.)

PHP shell_exec() vs exec()

A couple of distinctions that weren't touched on here:

  • With exec(), you can pass an optional param variable which will receive an array of output lines. In some cases this might save time, especially if the output of the commands is already tabular.

Compare:

exec('ls', $out);
var_dump($out);
// Look an array

$out = shell_exec('ls');
var_dump($out);
// Look -- a string with newlines in it

Conversely, if the output of the command is xml or json, then having each line as part of an array is not what you want, as you'll need to post-process the input into some other form, so in that case use shell_exec.

It's also worth pointing out that shell_exec is an alias for the backtic operator, for those used to *nix.

$out = `ls`;
var_dump($out);

exec also supports an additional parameter that will provide the return code from the executed command:

exec('ls', $out, $status);
if (0 === $status) {
    var_dump($out);
} else {
    echo "Command failed with status: $status";
}

As noted in the shell_exec manual page, when you actually require a return code from the command being executed, you have no choice but to use exec.

Getting net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME while calling telephone number from HTML page in Android

The following should work and not require any permissions in the manifest (basically override shouldOverrideUrlLoading and handle links separately from tel, mailto, etc.):

    mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);

    WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            if( url.startsWith("http:") || url.startsWith("https:") ) {
                return false;
            }

            // Otherwise allow the OS to handle things like tel, mailto, etc.
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
            startActivity( intent );
            return true;
        }
    });
    mWebView.loadUrl(url);

Also, note that in the above snippet I am enabling JavaScript, which you will also most likely want, but if for some reason you don't, just remove those 2 lines.

List all indexes on ElasticSearch server?

To get all the details in Kibana.
 GET /_cat/indices




To get names only in Kibana.
GET /_cat/indices?h=index

Without using Kibana ,You can send a get request in postman or type this in Brower so you will get a list of indices names

http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?h=index

Creating a textarea with auto-resize

I created a small (7kb) custom element that deals with all of this resizing logic for you.

It works everywhere, because it's implemented as a custom element. Including: Virtual DOMs (React, Elm, etc.), server-side rendered stuff like PHP and plain boring HTML files.

Apart from listening for the input event, it also has a timer that fires every 100ms to make sure things are still working in case the text content changes by some other means.

Here's how it works:

// At the top of one of your Javascript files
import "autoheight-textarea";

or include as a script tag

<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/main.min.js"></script>

then just wrap your textarea elements like so

HTML File

<autoheight-textarea>
  <textarea rows="4" placeholder="Type something"></textarea>
<autoheight-textarea>

React.js Component

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <autoheight-textarea>
      <textarea rows={4} placeholder="Type something..." />
    </autoheight-textarea>
  );
}

Here's a basic demo on Codesandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/unruffled-http-2vm4c

And you can grab the package here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/autoheight-textarea

If you're just curious to see the resizing logic, you can take a look at this function: https://github.com/Ahrengot/autoheight-textarea/blob/master/src/index.ts#L74-L85

Java - Writing strings to a CSV file

Basically it's because MS Excel can't decide how to open the file with such content.

When you put ID as the first character in a Spreadsheet type file, it matches the specification of a SYLK file and MS Excel (and potentially other Spreadsheet Apps) try to open it as a SYLK file. But at the same time, it does not meet the complete specification of a SYLK file since rest of the values in the file are comma separated. Hence, the error is shown.

To solve the issue, change "ID" to "id" and it should work as expected.

enter image description here

This is weird. But, yeah!

Also trying to minimize file access by using file object less.

I tested and the code below works perfect.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class CsvWriter {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    try (PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new File("test.csv"))) {

      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
      sb.append("id,");
      sb.append(',');
      sb.append("Name");
      sb.append('\n');

      sb.append("1");
      sb.append(',');
      sb.append("Prashant Ghimire");
      sb.append('\n');

      writer.write(sb.toString());

      System.out.println("done!");

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }

  }
}

how to add values to an array of objects dynamically in javascript?

In Year 2019, we can use Javascript's ES6 Spread syntax to do it concisely and efficiently

data = [...data, {"label": 2, "value": 13}]

Examples

_x000D_
_x000D_
var data = [_x000D_
      {"label" : "1", "value" : 12},_x000D_
      {"label" : "1", "value" : 12},_x000D_
      {"label" : "1", "value" : 12},_x000D_
    ];_x000D_
    _x000D_
data = [...data, {"label" : "2", "value" : 14}] _x000D_
console.log(data)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

For your case (i know it was in 2011), we can do it with map() & forEach() like below

_x000D_
_x000D_
var lab = ["1","2","3","4"];_x000D_
var val = [42,55,51,22];_x000D_
_x000D_
//Using forEach()_x000D_
var data = [];_x000D_
val.forEach((v,i) => _x000D_
   data= [...data, {"label": lab[i], "value":v}]_x000D_
)_x000D_
_x000D_
//Using map()_x000D_
var dataMap = val.map((v,i) => _x000D_
 ({"label": lab[i], "value":v})_x000D_
)_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log('data: ', data);_x000D_
console.log('dataMap : ', dataMap);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

C# - What does the Assert() method do? Is it still useful?

Assert allows you to assert a condition (post or pre) applies in your code. It's a way of documenting your intentions and having the debugger inform you with a dialog if your intention is not met.

Unlike a breakpoint, the Assert goes with your code and can be used to add additional detail about your intention.

When to use extern in C++

This is useful when you want to have a global variable. You define the global variables in some source file, and declare them extern in a header file so that any file that includes that header file will then see the same global variable.

How to set bootstrap navbar active class with Angular JS?

Heres my take on it. A little of a combination of answers found on this post. I had a slightly different case, so my solution involves separating the menu into its own template to be used within the Directive Definition Ojbect then add my navbar to the page I needed it on. Basically, I had a login page that I didnt want to include my menu on, so I used ngInclude and insert this directive when logged in:

DIRECTIVE:

module.directive('compModal', function(){


return {
    restrict: 'E',
    replace: true,
    transclude: true,
    scope: true,
    templateUrl: 'templates/menu.html',
    controller: function($scope, $element, $location){
        $scope.isActive = function(viewLocation){

            var active = false;

            if(viewLocation === $location.path()){
                active = true;
            }

            return active;

        }
    }
 }
});

DIRECTIVE TEMPLATE (templates/menu.html)

<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
  <li ng-class="{ active: isActive('/View1') }"><a href="#/View1">View 1</a></li>
  <li ng-class="{ active: isActive('/View2') }"><a href="#/View2">View 2</a></li>
  <li ng-class="{ active: isActive('/View3') }"><a href="#/View3">View 3</a></li>
</ul>

HTML WHICH INCLUDES THE DIRECTIVE

<comp-navbar/>

Hope this helps

@Autowired - No qualifying bean of type found for dependency

I had this happen because my tests were not in the same package as my components. (I had renamed my component package, but not my test package.) And I was using @ComponentScan in my test @Configuration class, so my tests weren't finding the components on which they relied.

So, double check that if you get this error.

Get value (String) of ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>(); in Java

A cleaner way of iterating the lists is:

// initialise the collection
collection = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
// iterate
for (ArrayList<String> innerList : collection) {
    for (String string : innerList) {
        // do stuff with string
    }
}

MySQL Results as comma separated list

In my case i have to concatenate all the account number of a person who's mobile number is unique. So i have used the following query to achieve that.

How to SUM parts of a column which have same text value in different column in the same row

This can be done by using SUMPRODUCT as well. Update the ranges as you see fit

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$7=A2)*($B$2:$B$7=B2)*$C$2:$C$7)

A2:A7 = First name range

B2:B7 = Last Name Range

C2:C7 = Numbers Range

This will find all the names with the same first and last name and sum the numbers in your numbers column

How to push JSON object in to array using javascript

Observation

  • If there is a single object and you want to push whole object into an array then no need to iterate the object.

Try this :

_x000D_
_x000D_
var feed = {created_at: "2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", entry_id: 33358, field1: "4", field2: "4", field3: "0"};_x000D_
_x000D_
var data = [];_x000D_
data.push(feed);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(data);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Instead of :

_x000D_
_x000D_
var my_json = {created_at: "2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", entry_id: 33358, field1: "4", field2: "4", field3: "0"};_x000D_
_x000D_
var data = [];_x000D_
for(var i in my_json) {_x000D_
    data.push(my_json[i]);_x000D_
}_x000D_

Multiple modals overlay

Update: 22.01.2019, 13.41 I optimized the solution by jhay, which also supports closing and opening same or different dialogs when for example stepping from one detail data to another forwards or backwards.

(function ($, window) {
'use strict';

var MultiModal = function (element) {
    this.$element = $(element);
    this.modalIndex = 0;
};

MultiModal.BASE_ZINDEX = 1040;

/* Max index number. When reached just collate the zIndexes */
MultiModal.MAX_INDEX = 5;

MultiModal.prototype.show = function (target) {
    var that = this;
    var $target = $(target);

    // Bootstrap triggers the show event at the beginning of the show function and before
    // the modal backdrop element has been created. The timeout here allows the modal
    // show function to complete, after which the modal backdrop will have been created
    // and appended to the DOM.

    // we only want one backdrop; hide any extras
    setTimeout(function () {
        /* Count the number of triggered modal dialogs */
        that.modalIndex++;

        if (that.modalIndex >= MultiModal.MAX_INDEX) {
            /* Collate the zIndexes of every open modal dialog according to its order */
            that.collateZIndex();
        }

        /* Modify the zIndex */
        $target.css('z-index', MultiModal.BASE_ZINDEX + (that.modalIndex * 20) + 10);

Can a foreign key be NULL and/or duplicate?

I think it is better to consider the possible cardinality we have in the tables. We can have possible minimum cardinality zero. When it is optional, the minimum participation of tuples from the related table could be zero, Now you face the necessity of foreign key values to be allowed null.

But the answer is it all depends on the Business.

(Excel) Conditional Formatting based on Adjacent Cell Value

I don't know if maybe it's a difference in Excel version but this question is 6 years old and the accepted answer didn't help me so this is what I figured out:

Under Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules:

  1. Make a new rule with "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
  2. Make your rule, but put a dollar sign only in front of the letter: $A2<$B2
  3. Under "Applies to", Manually select the second column (It would not work for me if I changed the value in the box, it just kept snapping back to what was already there), so it looks like $B$2:$B$100 (assuming you have 100 rows)

This worked for me in Excel 2016.

How create table only using <div> tag and Css

This is an old thread, but I thought I should post my solution. I faced the same problem recently and the way I solved it is by following a three-step approach as outlined below which is very simple without any complex CSS.

(NOTE : Of course, for modern browsers, using the values of table or table-row or table-cell for display CSS attribute would solve the problem. But the approach I used will work equally well in modern and older browsers since it does not use these values for display CSS attribute.)

3-STEP SIMPLE APPROACH

For table with divs only so you get cells and rows just like in a table element use the following approach.

  1. Replace table element with a block div (use a .table class)
  2. Replace each tr or th element with a block div (use a .row class)
  3. Replace each td element with an inline block div (use a .cell class)

_x000D_
_x000D_
.table {display:block; }_x000D_
.row { display:block;}_x000D_
.cell {display:inline-block;}
_x000D_
    <h2>Table below using table element</h2>_x000D_
    <table cellspacing="0" >_x000D_
       <tr>_x000D_
          <td>Mike</td>_x000D_
          <td>36 years</td>_x000D_
          <td>Architect</td>_x000D_
       </tr>_x000D_
       <tr>_x000D_
          <td>Sunil</td>_x000D_
          <td>45 years</td>_x000D_
          <td>Vice President aas</td>_x000D_
       </tr>_x000D_
       <tr>_x000D_
          <td>Jason</td>_x000D_
          <td>27 years</td>_x000D_
          <td>Junior Developer</td>_x000D_
       </tr>_x000D_
    </table>_x000D_

UPDATE 1

To get around the effect of same width not being maintained across all cells of a column as mentioned by thatslch in a comment, one could adopt either of the two approaches below.

  • Specify a width for cell class

    cell {display:inline-block; width:340px;}

  • Use CSS of modern browsers as below.

    .table {display:table; } .row { display:table-row;} .cell {display:table-cell;}

Windows command to convert Unix line endings?

You could create a simple batch script to do this for you:

TYPE %1 | MORE /P >%1.1
MOVE %1.1 %1

Then run <batch script name> <FILE> and <FILE> will be instantly converted to DOS line endings.

How do I truncate a .NET string?

I know there are a ton of answers already but my need was to keep the beginning and end of the string intact but shorten it to under the max length.

    public static string TruncateMiddle(string source)
    {
        if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(source) || source.Length < 260) 
            return source;

        return string.Format("{0}...{1}", 
            source.Substring(0, 235),
            source.Substring(source.Length - 20));
    }

This is for creating SharePoint URLs that have a max length of 260 characters.

I didn't make length a parameter since it is a constant 260. I also didn't make the first substring length a parameter because I want it to break at a specific point. Finally, the second substring is the length of the source - 20 since I know the folder structure.

This could easily be adapted to your specific needs.

When to use async false and async true in ajax function in jquery

ShowPopUpForToDoList: function (id, apprId, tab) {
    var snapShot = "isFromAlert";
    if (tab != "Request")
        snapShot = "isFromTodoList";
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: common.GetRootUrl('ActionForm/SetParamForToDoList'),
        data: { id: id, tab: tab },
        async:false,
        success: function (data) {
            ActionForm.EditActionFormPopup(id, snapShot);
        }
    });
},

Here SetParamForToDoList will be excecuted first after the function ActionForm.EditActionFormPopup will fire.

Change url query string value using jQuery

purls $.params() used without a parameter will give you a key-value object of the parameters.

jQuerys $.param() will build a querystring from the supplied object/array.

var params = parsedUrl.param();
delete params["page"];

var newUrl = "?page=" + $(this).val() + "&" + $.param(params);

Update
I've no idea why I used delete here...

var params = parsedUrl.param();
params["page"] = $(this).val();

var newUrl = "?" + $.param(params);

Centering in CSS Grid

The CSS place-items shorthand property sets the align-items and justify-items properties, respectively. If the second value is not set, the first value is also used for it.

.parent {
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
}

What are all codecs and formats supported by FFmpeg?

ffmpeg -codecs

should give you all the info about the codecs available.

You will see some letters next to the codecs:

Codecs:
 D..... = Decoding supported
 .E.... = Encoding supported
 ..V... = Video codec
 ..A... = Audio codec
 ..S... = Subtitle codec
 ...I.. = Intra frame-only codec
 ....L. = Lossy compression
 .....S = Lossless compression

Passing variables to the next middleware using next() in Express.js

The trick is pretty simple... The request cycle is still pretty much alive. You can just add a new variable that will create a temporary, calling

app.get('some/url/endpoint', middleware1, middleware2);

Since you can handle your request in the first middleware

(req, res, next) => {
    var yourvalue = anyvalue
}

In middleware 1 you handle your logic and store your value like below:

req.anyvariable = yourvalue

In middleware 2 you can catch this value from middleware 1 doing the following:

(req, res, next) => {
    var storedvalue = req.yourvalue
}

XDocument or XmlDocument

I am surprised none of the answers so far mentions the fact that XmlDocument provides no line information, while XDocument does (through the IXmlLineInfo interface).

This can be a critical feature in some cases (for example if you want to report errors in an XML, or keep track of where elements are defined in general) and you better be aware of this before you happily start to implement using XmlDocument, to later discover you have to change it all.

Draw path between two points using Google Maps Android API v2

in below code midpointsList is an ArrayList of waypoints

private String getMapsApiDirectionsUrl(GoogleMap googleMap, LatLng startLatLng, LatLng endLatLng, ArrayList<LatLng> midpointsList) {
    String origin = "origin=" + startLatLng.latitude + "," + startLatLng.longitude;

    String midpoints = "";
    for (int mid = 0; mid < midpointsList.size(); mid++) {
        midpoints += "|" + midpointsList.get(mid).latitude + "," + midpointsList.get(mid).longitude;
    }

    String waypoints = "waypoints=optimize:true" + midpoints + "|";

    String destination = "destination=" + endLatLng.latitude + "," + endLatLng.longitude;
    String key = "key=AIzaSyCV1sOa_7vASRBs6S3S6t1KofFvDhjohvI";

    String sensor = "sensor=false";
    String params = origin + "&" + waypoints + "&" + destination + "&" + sensor + "&" + key;
    String output = "json";
    String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/" + output + "?" + params;


    Log.e("url", url);
    parseDirectionApidata(url, googleMap);
    return url;
}

Then copy and paste this url in your browser to check And the below code is to parse the url

    private void parseDirectionApidata(String url, final GoogleMap googleMap) {

    final JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();

    try {

        AppUtill.getJsonWithHTTPPost(ViewMapActivity.this, 1, new ServiceCallBack() {
            @Override
            public void serviceCallBack(int id, JSONObject jsonResult) throws JSONException {

                if (jsonResult != null) {

                    Log.e("jsonRes", jsonResult.toString());

                    String status = jsonResult.optString("status");

                    if (status.equalsIgnoreCase("ok")) {
                        drawPath(jsonResult, googleMap);
                    }

                } else {

                    Toast.makeText(ViewMapActivity.this, "Unable to parse Directions Data", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }

            }
        }, url, jsonObject);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    }
}

And then pass the result to the drawPath method

    public void drawPath(JSONObject jObject, GoogleMap googleMap) {

decode poly function is to decode the points(lat and long) provided by Directions API in encoded form

What is the difference between int, Int16, Int32 and Int64?

According to Jeffrey Richter(one of the contributors of .NET framework development)'s book 'CLR via C#':

int is a primitive type allowed by the C# compiler, whereas Int32 is the Framework Class Library type (available across languages that abide by CLS). In fact, int translates to Int32 during compilation.

Also,

In C#, long maps to System.Int64, but in a different programming language, long could map to Int16 or Int32. In fact, C++/CLI does treat long as Int32.

In fact, most (.NET) languages won't even treat long as a keyword and won't compile code that uses it.

I have seen this author, and many standard literature on .NET preferring FCL types(i.e., Int32) to the language-specific primitive types(i.e., int), mainly on such interoperability concerns.

How to convert int to char with leading zeros?

Use REPLICATE so you don't have to hard code all the leading zeros:

DECLARE @InputStr int
       ,@Size     int
SELECT @InputStr=123
      ,@Size=10

PRINT REPLICATE('0',@Size-LEN(RTRIM(CONVERT(varchar(8000),@InputStr)))) + CONVERT(varchar(8000),@InputStr)

OUTPUT:

0000000123

WordPress path url in js script file

If the javascript file is loaded from the admin dashboard, this javascript function will give you the root of your WordPress installation. I use this a lot when I'm building plugins that need to make ajax requests from the admin dashboard.

  var href = window.location.href;
  var index = href.indexOf('/wp-admin');
  var homeUrl = href.substring(0, index);
  return homeUrl;
}

What are best practices for REST nested resources?

What you have done is correct. In general there can be many URIs to the same resource - there are no rules that say you shouldn't do that.

And generally, you may need to access items directly or as a subset of something else - so your structure makes sense to me.

Just because employees are accessible under department:

company/{companyid}/department/{departmentid}/employees

Doesn't mean they can't be accessible under company too:

company/{companyid}/employees

Which would return employees for that company. It depends on what is needed by your consuming client - that is what you should be designing for.

But I would hope that all URLs handlers use the same backing code to satisfy the requests so that you aren't duplicating code.

How do I find the last column with data?

Lots of ways to do this. The most reliable is find.

Dim rLastCell As Range

Set rLastCell = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=ws.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False)

MsgBox ("The last used column is: " & rLastCell.Column)

If you want to find the last column used in a particular row you can use:

Dim lColumn As Long

lColumn = ws.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

Using used range (less reliable):

Dim lColumn As Long

lColumn = ws.UsedRange.Columns.Count

Using used range wont work if you have no data in column A. See here for another issue with used range:

See Here regarding resetting used range.

Use of "global" keyword in Python

The other answers answer your question. Another important thing to know about names in Python is that they are either local or global on a per-scope basis.

Consider this, for example:

value = 42

def doit():
    print value
    value = 0

doit()
print value

You can probably guess that the value = 0 statement will be assigning to a local variable and not affect the value of the same variable declared outside the doit() function. You may be more surprised to discover that the code above won't run. The statement print value inside the function produces an UnboundLocalError.

The reason is that Python has noticed that, elsewhere in the function, you assign the name value, and also value is nowhere declared global. That makes it a local variable. But when you try to print it, the local name hasn't been defined yet. Python in this case does not fall back to looking for the name as a global variable, as some other languages do. Essentially, you cannot access a global variable if you have defined a local variable of the same name anywhere in the function.

Should I use SVN or Git?

I have used SVN for a long time, but whenever I used Git, I felt that Git is much powerful, lightweight, and although a little bit of learning curve involved but is better than SVN.

What I have noted is that each SVN project, as it grows, becomes a very big size project unless it is exported. Where as, GIT project (along with Git data) is very light weight in size.

In SVN, I've dealt with developers from novice to experts, and the novices and intermediates seem to introduce File conflicts if they copy one folder from another SVN project in order to re-use it. Whereas, I think in Git, you just copy the folder and it works, because Git doesn't introduce .git folders in all its subfolders (as SVN does).

After dealing alot with SVN since long time, I'm finally thinking to move my developers and me to Git, since it is easy to collaborate and merge work, as well as one great advantage is that a local copy's changes can be committed as much desired, and then finally pushed to the branch on server in one go, unlike SVN (where we have to commit the changes from time to time in the repository on server).

Anyone who can help me decide if I should really go with Git?

Eclipse JPA Project Change Event Handler (waiting)

minor correction to mwhs's answer for the windows portion...

The move command does not work for the .\features folder because... well, frankly because Windows is retarded (you can use wildcards with 'move' on files, but apparently wildcards + folders == ignore the command). Anyway, this should work as an alternative to the windows snippet provided for step #2 in his answer.

Postgresql : Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections

The error you quote has nothing to do with pg_hba.conf; it's failing to connect, not failing to authorize the connection.

Do what the error message says:

Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections

You haven't shown the command that produces the error. Assuming you're connecting on localhost port 5432 (the defaults for a standard PostgreSQL install), then either:

  • PostgreSQL isn't running

  • PostgreSQL isn't listening for TCP/IP connections (listen_addresses in postgresql.conf)

  • PostgreSQL is only listening on IPv4 (0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1) and you're connecting on IPv6 (::1) or vice versa. This seems to be an issue on some older Mac OS X versions that have weird IPv6 socket behaviour, and on some older Windows versions.

  • PostgreSQL is listening on a different port to the one you're connecting on

  • (unlikely) there's an iptables rule blocking loopback connections

(If you are not connecting on localhost, it may also be a network firewall that's blocking TCP/IP connections, but I'm guessing you're using the defaults since you didn't say).

So ... check those:

  • ps -f -u postgres should list postgres processes

  • sudo lsof -n -u postgres |grep LISTEN or sudo netstat -ltnp | grep postgres should show the TCP/IP addresses and ports PostgreSQL is listening on

BTW, I think you must be on an old version. On my 9.3 install, the error is rather more detailed:

$ psql -h localhost -p 12345
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 12345?

QUERY syntax using cell reference

To make it work with both text and numbers:

Exact match:

=query(D:E,"select * where D like '"&C1&"'", 0)

Convert search string to lowercase:

=query(D:E,"select * where D like lower('"&C1&"')", 0)

Convert to lowercase and contain part of the search string:

=query(D:E,"select * where D like lower('%"&C1&"%')", 0)

enter image description here

A1                = query/formula
yellow / A:B  = result area
green / C1    = search area
blue / D:E     = data area

If you get error when the input is text and not numbers; move the data and delete the (now empty) columns. Then move the data back.

text-align:center won't work with form <label> tag (?)

label is an inline element so its width is equal to the width of the text it contains. The browser is actually displaying the label with text-align:center but since the label is only as wide as the text you don't notice.

The best thing to do is to apply a specific width to the label that is greater than the width of the content - this will give you the results you want.

Convert String to int array in java

In tight loops or on mobile devices it's not a good idea to generate lots of garbage through short-lived String objects, especially when parsing long arrays.

The method in my answer parses data without generating garbage, but it does not deal with invalid data gracefully and cannot parse negative numbers. If your data comes from untrusted source, you should be doing some additional validation or use one of the alternatives provided in other answers.

public static void readToArray(String line, int[] resultArray) {
    int index = 0;
    int number = 0;

    for (int i = 0, n = line.length(); i < n; i++) {
        char c = line.charAt(i);
        if (c == ',') {
            resultArray[index] = number;
            index++;
            number = 0;
        }
        else if (Character.isDigit(c)) {
            int digit = Character.getNumericValue(c);
            number = number * 10 + digit;
        }
    }

    if (index < resultArray.length) {
        resultArray[index] = number;
    }
}

public static int[] toArray(String line) {
    int[] result = new int[countOccurrences(line, ',') + 1];
    readToArray(line, result);
    return result;
}

public static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle) {
    int count = 0;
    for (int i=0; i < haystack.length(); i++) {
        if (haystack.charAt(i) == needle) {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return count;
}

countOccurrences implementation was shamelessly stolen from John Skeet

Using @property versus getters and setters

[TL;DR? You can skip to the end for a code example.]

I actually prefer to use a different idiom, which is a little involved for using as a one off, but is nice if you have a more complex use case.

A bit of background first.

Properties are useful in that they allow us to handle both setting and getting values in a programmatic way but still allow attributes to be accessed as attributes. We can turn 'gets' into 'computations' (essentially) and we can turn 'sets' into 'events'. So let's say we have the following class, which I've coded with Java-like getters and setters.

class Example(object):
    def __init__(self, x=None, y=None):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

    def getX(self):
        return self.x or self.defaultX()

    def getY(self):
        return self.y or self.defaultY()

    def setX(self, x):
        self.x = x

    def setY(self, y):
        self.y = y

    def defaultX(self):
        return someDefaultComputationForX()

    def defaultY(self):
        return someDefaultComputationForY()

You may be wondering why I didn't call defaultX and defaultY in the object's __init__ method. The reason is that for our case I want to assume that the someDefaultComputation methods return values that vary over time, say a timestamp, and whenever x (or y) is not set (where, for the purpose of this example, "not set" means "set to None") I want the value of x's (or y's) default computation.

So this is lame for a number of reasons describe above. I'll rewrite it using properties:

class Example(object):
    def __init__(self, x=None, y=None):
        self._x = x
        self._y = y

    @property
    def x(self):
        return self.x or self.defaultX()

    @x.setter
    def x(self, value):
        self._x = value

    @property
    def y(self):
        return self.y or self.defaultY()

    @y.setter
    def y(self, value):
        self._y = value

    # default{XY} as before.

What have we gained? We've gained the ability to refer to these attributes as attributes even though, behind the scenes, we end up running methods.

Of course the real power of properties is that we generally want these methods to do something in addition to just getting and setting values (otherwise there is no point in using properties). I did this in my getter example. We are basically running a function body to pick up a default whenever the value isn't set. This is a very common pattern.

But what are we losing, and what can't we do?

The main annoyance, in my view, is that if you define a getter (as we do here) you also have to define a setter.[1] That's extra noise that clutters the code.

Another annoyance is that we still have to initialize the x and y values in __init__. (Well, of course we could add them using setattr() but that is more extra code.)

Third, unlike in the Java-like example, getters cannot accept other parameters. Now I can hear you saying already, well, if it's taking parameters it's not a getter! In an official sense, that is true. But in a practical sense there is no reason we shouldn't be able to parameterize an named attribute -- like x -- and set its value for some specific parameters.

It'd be nice if we could do something like:

e.x[a,b,c] = 10
e.x[d,e,f] = 20

for example. The closest we can get is to override the assignment to imply some special semantics:

e.x = [a,b,c,10]
e.x = [d,e,f,30]

and of course ensure that our setter knows how to extract the first three values as a key to a dictionary and set its value to a number or something.

But even if we did that we still couldn't support it with properties because there is no way to get the value because we can't pass parameters at all to the getter. So we've had to return everything, introducing an asymmetry.

The Java-style getter/setter does let us handle this, but we're back to needing getter/setters.

In my mind what we really want is something that capture the following requirements:

  • Users define just one method for a given attribute and can indicate there whether the attribute is read-only or read-write. Properties fail this test if the attribute writable.

  • There is no need for the user to define an extra variable underlying the function, so we don't need the __init__ or setattr in the code. The variable just exists by the fact we've created this new-style attribute.

  • Any default code for the attribute executes in the method body itself.

  • We can set the attribute as an attribute and reference it as an attribute.

  • We can parameterize the attribute.

In terms of code, we want a way to write:

def x(self, *args):
    return defaultX()

and be able to then do:

print e.x     -> The default at time T0
e.x = 1
print e.x     -> 1
e.x = None
print e.x     -> The default at time T1

and so forth.

We also want a way to do this for the special case of a parameterizable attribute, but still allow the default assign case to work. You'll see how I tackled this below.

Now to the point (yay! the point!). The solution I came up for for this is as follows.

We create a new object to replace the notion of a property. The object is intended to store the value of a variable set to it, but also maintains a handle on code that knows how to calculate a default. Its job is to store the set value or to run the method if that value is not set.

Let's call it an UberProperty.

class UberProperty(object):

    def __init__(self, method):
        self.method = method
        self.value = None
        self.isSet = False

    def setValue(self, value):
        self.value = value
        self.isSet = True

    def clearValue(self):
        self.value = None
        self.isSet = False

I assume method here is a class method, value is the value of the UberProperty, and I have added isSet because None may be a real value and this allows us a clean way to declare there really is "no value". Another way is a sentinel of some sort.

This basically gives us an object that can do what we want, but how do we actually put it on our class? Well, properties use decorators; why can't we? Let's see how it might look (from here on I'm going to stick to using just a single 'attribute', x).

class Example(object):

    @uberProperty
    def x(self):
        return defaultX()

This doesn't actually work yet, of course. We have to implement uberProperty and make sure it handles both gets and sets.

Let's start with gets.

My first attempt was to simply create a new UberProperty object and return it:

def uberProperty(f):
    return UberProperty(f)

I quickly discovered, of course, that this doens't work: Python never binds the callable to the object and I need the object in order to call the function. Even creating the decorator in the class doesn't work, as although now we have the class, we still don't have an object to work with.

So we're going to need to be able to do more here. We do know that a method need only be represented the one time, so let's go ahead and keep our decorator, but modify UberProperty to only store the method reference:

class UberProperty(object):

    def __init__(self, method):
        self.method = method

It is also not callable, so at the moment nothing is working.

How do we complete the picture? Well, what do we end up with when we create the example class using our new decorator:

class Example(object):

    @uberProperty
    def x(self):
        return defaultX()

print Example.x     <__main__.UberProperty object at 0x10e1fb8d0>
print Example().x   <__main__.UberProperty object at 0x10e1fb8d0>

in both cases we get back the UberProperty which of course is not a callable, so this isn't of much use.

What we need is some way to dynamically bind the UberProperty instance created by the decorator after the class has been created to an object of the class before that object has been returned to that user for use. Um, yeah, that's an __init__ call, dude.

Let's write up what we want our find result to be first. We're binding an UberProperty to an instance, so an obvious thing to return would be a BoundUberProperty. This is where we'll actually maintain state for the x attribute.

class BoundUberProperty(object):
    def __init__(self, obj, uberProperty):
        self.obj = obj
        self.uberProperty = uberProperty
        self.isSet = False

    def setValue(self, value):
        self.value = value
        self.isSet = True

    def getValue(self):
        return self.value if self.isSet else self.uberProperty.method(self.obj)

    def clearValue(self):
        del self.value
        self.isSet = False

Now we the representation; how do get these on to an object? There are a few approaches, but the easiest one to explain just uses the __init__ method to do that mapping. By the time __init__ is called our decorators have run, so just need to look through the object's __dict__ and update any attributes where the value of the attribute is of type UberProperty.

Now, uber-properties are cool and we'll probably want to use them a lot, so it makes sense to just create a base class that does this for all subclasses. I think you know what the base class is going to be called.

class UberObject(object):
    def __init__(self):
        for k in dir(self):
            v = getattr(self, k)
            if isinstance(v, UberProperty):
                v = BoundUberProperty(self, v)
                setattr(self, k, v)

We add this, change our example to inherit from UberObject, and ...

e = Example()
print e.x               -> <__main__.BoundUberProperty object at 0x104604c90>

After modifying x to be:

@uberProperty
def x(self):
    return *datetime.datetime.now()*

We can run a simple test:

print e.x.getValue()
print e.x.getValue()
e.x.setValue(datetime.date(2013, 5, 31))
print e.x.getValue()
e.x.clearValue()
print e.x.getValue()

And we get the output we wanted:

2013-05-31 00:05:13.985813
2013-05-31 00:05:13.986290
2013-05-31
2013-05-31 00:05:13.986310

(Gee, I'm working late.)

Note that I have used getValue, setValue, and clearValue here. This is because I haven't yet linked in the means to have these automatically returned.

But I think this is a good place to stop for now, because I'm getting tired. You can also see that the core functionality we wanted is in place; the rest is window dressing. Important usability window dressing, but that can wait until I have a change to update the post.

I'll finish up the example in the next posting by addressing these things:

  • We need to make sure UberObject's __init__ is always called by subclasses.

    • So we either force it be called somewhere or we prevent it from being implemented.
    • We'll see how to do this with a metaclass.
  • We need to make sure we handle the common case where someone 'aliases' a function to something else, such as:

      class Example(object):
          @uberProperty
          def x(self):
              ...
    
          y = x
    
  • We need e.x to return e.x.getValue() by default.

    • What we'll actually see is this is one area where the model fails.
    • It turns out we'll always need to use a function call to get the value.
    • But we can make it look like a regular function call and avoid having to use e.x.getValue(). (Doing this one is obvious, if you haven't already fixed it out.)
  • We need to support setting e.x directly, as in e.x = <newvalue>. We can do this in the parent class too, but we'll need to update our __init__ code to handle it.

  • Finally, we'll add parameterized attributes. It should be pretty obvious how we'll do this, too.

Here's the code as it exists up to now:

import datetime

class UberObject(object):
    def uberSetter(self, value):
        print 'setting'

    def uberGetter(self):
        return self

    def __init__(self):
        for k in dir(self):
            v = getattr(self, k)
            if isinstance(v, UberProperty):
                v = BoundUberProperty(self, v)
                setattr(self, k, v)


class UberProperty(object):
    def __init__(self, method):
        self.method = method

class BoundUberProperty(object):
    def __init__(self, obj, uberProperty):
        self.obj = obj
        self.uberProperty = uberProperty
        self.isSet = False

    def setValue(self, value):
        self.value = value
        self.isSet = True

    def getValue(self):
        return self.value if self.isSet else self.uberProperty.method(self.obj)

    def clearValue(self):
        del self.value
        self.isSet = False

    def uberProperty(f):
        return UberProperty(f)

class Example(UberObject):

    @uberProperty
    def x(self):
        return datetime.datetime.now()

[1] I may be behind on whether this is still the case.

Saving image to file

You can save image , save the file in your current directory application and move the file to any directory .

 Bitmap btm = new Bitmap(image.width,image.height);
    Image img = btm;
                        img.Save(@"img_" + x + ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                        FileInfo img__ = new FileInfo(@"img_" + x + ".jpg");
                        img__.MoveTo("myVideo\\img_" + x + ".jpg");

How do you create different variable names while in a loop?

Don't do this use a dictionary

import sys
this = sys.modules[__name__] # this is now your current namespace
for x in range(0,9):
    setattr(this, 'string%s' % x, 'Hello')

print string0
print string1
print string2
print string3
print string4
print string5
print string6
print string7
print string8

don't do this use a dict

globals() has risk as it gives you what the namespace is currently pointing to but this can change and so modifying the return from globals() is not a good idea

How to create string with multiple spaces in JavaScript

With template literals, you can use multiple spaces or multi-line strings and string interpolation. Template Literals are a new ES2015 / ES6 feature that allows you to work with strings. The syntax is very simple, just use backticks instead of single or double quotes:

let a = `something                 something`;

and to make multiline strings just press enter to create a new line, with no special characters:

let a = `something 

    
                         something`;

The results are exactly the same as you write in the string.

Java out.println() how is this possible?

Microsoft Advertising SDK doesn't deliverer ads

I only use MicrosoftAdvertising.Mobile and Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI and I am served ads. The SDK should only add the DLLs not reference itself.

Note: You need to explicitly set width and height Make sure the phone dialer, and web browser capabilities are enabled

Followup note: Make sure that after you've removed the SDK DLL, that the xmlns references are not still pointing to it. The best route to take here is

  1. Remove the XAML for the ad
  2. Remove the xmlns declaration (usually at the top of the page, but sometimes will be declared in the ad itself)
  3. Remove the bad DLL (the one ending in .SDK )
  4. Do a Clean and then Build (clean out anything remaining from the DLL)
  5. Add the xmlns reference (actual reference is below)
  6. Add the ad to the page (example below)

Here is the xmlns reference:

xmlns:AdNamepace="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI;assembly=Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI" 

Then the ad itself:

<AdNamespace:AdControl x:Name="myAd" Height="80" Width="480"                    AdUnitId="yourAdUnitIdHere" ApplicationId="yourIdHere"/> 

How can I use an http proxy with node.js http.Client?

I think there a better alternative to the answers as of 2019. We can use the global-tunnel-ng package to initialize proxy and not pollute the http or https based code everywhere. So first install global-tunnel-ng package:

npm install global-tunnel-ng

Then change your implementations to initialize proxy if needed as:

const globalTunnel = require('global-tunnel-ng');

globalTunnel.initialize({
  host: 'proxy.host.name.or.ip',
  port: 8080
});

Iterate over elements of List and Map using JSTL <c:forEach> tag

Mark, this is already answered in your previous topic. But OK, here it is again:

Suppose ${list} points to a List<Object>, then the following

<c:forEach items="${list}" var="item">
    ${item}<br>
</c:forEach>

does basically the same as as following in "normal Java":

for (Object item : list) {
    System.out.println(item);
}

If you have a List<Map<K, V>> instead, then the following

<c:forEach items="${list}" var="map">
    <c:forEach items="${map}" var="entry">
        ${entry.key}<br>
        ${entry.value}<br>
    </c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

does basically the same as as following in "normal Java":

for (Map<K, V> map : list) {
    for (Entry<K, V> entry : map.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(entry.getKey());
        System.out.println(entry.getValue());
    }
}

The key and value are here not special methods or so. They are actually getter methods of Map.Entry object (click at the blue Map.Entry link to see the API doc). In EL (Expression Language) you can use the . dot operator to access getter methods using "property name" (the getter method name without the get prefix), all just according the Javabean specification.

That said, you really need to cleanup the "answers" in your previous topic as they adds noise to the question. Also read the comments I posted in your "answers".

Auto line-wrapping in SVG text

Building on @Mike Gledhill's code, I've taken it a step further and added more parameters. If you have a SVG RECT and want text to wrap inside it, this may be handy:

function wraptorect(textnode, boxObject, padding, linePadding) {

    var x_pos = parseInt(boxObject.getAttribute('x')),
    y_pos = parseInt(boxObject.getAttribute('y')),
    boxwidth = parseInt(boxObject.getAttribute('width')),
    fz = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(textnode)['font-size']);  // We use this to calculate dy for each TSPAN.

    var line_height = fz + linePadding;

// Clone the original text node to store and display the final wrapping text.

   var wrapping = textnode.cloneNode(false);        // False means any TSPANs in the textnode will be discarded
   wrapping.setAttributeNS(null, 'x', x_pos + padding);
   wrapping.setAttributeNS(null, 'y', y_pos + padding);

// Make a copy of this node and hide it to progressively draw, measure and calculate line breaks.

   var testing = wrapping.cloneNode(false);
   testing.setAttributeNS(null, 'visibility', 'hidden');  // Comment this out to debug

   var testingTSPAN = document.createElementNS(null, 'tspan');
   var testingTEXTNODE = document.createTextNode(textnode.textContent);
   testingTSPAN.appendChild(testingTEXTNODE);

   testing.appendChild(testingTSPAN);
   var tester = document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0].appendChild(testing);

   var words = textnode.textContent.split(" ");
   var line = line2 = "";
   var linecounter = 0;
   var testwidth;

   for (var n = 0; n < words.length; n++) {

      line2 = line + words[n] + " ";
      testing.textContent = line2;
      testwidth = testing.getBBox().width;

      if ((testwidth + 2*padding) > boxwidth) {

        testingTSPAN = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'tspan');
        testingTSPAN.setAttributeNS(null, 'x', x_pos + padding);
        testingTSPAN.setAttributeNS(null, 'dy', line_height);

        testingTEXTNODE = document.createTextNode(line);
        testingTSPAN.appendChild(testingTEXTNODE);
        wrapping.appendChild(testingTSPAN);

        line = words[n] + " ";
        linecounter++;
      }
      else {
        line = line2;
      }
    }

    var testingTSPAN = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'tspan');
    testingTSPAN.setAttributeNS(null, 'x', x_pos + padding);
    testingTSPAN.setAttributeNS(null, 'dy', line_height);

    var testingTEXTNODE = document.createTextNode(line);
    testingTSPAN.appendChild(testingTEXTNODE);

    wrapping.appendChild(testingTSPAN);

    testing.parentNode.removeChild(testing);
    textnode.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapping,textnode);

    return linecounter;
}

Visual Studio displaying errors even if projects build

I have tried all the 6 options, nothing worked for me. Below solution resolved my issue.

Close VS. Delete the hidden ".vs" folder next to your solution file. Restart VS and load the solution.

Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I had the same issue using SQLite. My problem was that DB_DATABASE was pointing to the wrong file location.

Create the sqlite file with the touch command and output the file path using php artisan tinker.

$ touch database/database.sqlite
$ php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.8.0 (PHP 5.6.27 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> database_path(‘database.sqlite’)
=> "/Users/connorleech/Projects/laravel-5-rest-api/database/database.sqlite"

Then output that exact path to the DB_DATABASE variable.

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=/Users/connorleech/Projects/laravel-5-rest-api/database/database.sqlite
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

Without the correct path you will get the access denied error

Eclipse : Maven search dependencies doesn't work

It is neccesary to provide Group Id and Artifact Id to download the jar file you need. If you want to search it just use * , * for these fields.

Angular 2 ngfor first, last, index loop

By this you can get any index in *ngFor loop in ANGULAR ...

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let object of myArray; let i = index; let first = first ;let last = last;">
    <div *ngIf="first">
       // write your code...
    </div>

    <div *ngIf="last">
       // write your code...
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>

We can use these alias in *ngFor

  • index : number : let i = index to get all index of object.
  • first : boolean : let first = first to get first index of object.
  • last : boolean : let last = last to get last index of object.
  • odd : boolean : let odd = odd to get odd index of object.
  • even : boolean : let even = even to get even index of object.

Format an Excel column (or cell) as Text in C#?

I've recently battled with this problem as well, and I've learned two things about the above suggestions.

  1. Setting the numberFormatting to @ causes Excel to left-align the value, and read it as if it were text, however, it still truncates the leading zero.
  2. Adding an apostrophe at the beginning results in Excel treating it as text and retains the zero, and then applies the default text format, solving both problems.

The misleading aspect of this is that you now have a different value in the cell. Fortuately, when you copy/paste or export to CSV, the apostrophe is not included.

Conclusion: use the apostrophe, not the numberFormatting in order to retain the leading zeros.

Difference between modes a, a+, w, w+, and r+ in built-in open function?

I find it important to note that python 3 defines the opening modes differently to the answers here that were correct for Python 2.

The Pyhton 3 opening modes are:

'r' open for reading (default)
'w' open for writing, truncating the file first
'x' open for exclusive creation, failing if the file already exists
'a' open for writing, appending to the end of the file if it exists
----
'b' binary mode
't' text mode (default)
'+' open a disk file for updating (reading and writing)
'U' universal newlines mode (for backwards compatibility; should not be used in new code)

The modes r, w, x, a are combined with the mode modifiers b or t. + is optionally added, U should be avoided.

As I found out the hard way, it is a good idea to always specify t when opening a file in text mode since r is an alias for rt in the standard open() function but an alias for rb in the open() functions of all compression modules (when e.g. reading a *.bz2 file).

Thus the modes for opening a file should be:

rt / wt / xt / at for reading / writing / creating / appending to a file in text mode and

rb / wb / xb / ab for reading / writing / creating / appending to a file in binary mode.

Use + as before.

Conditionally Remove Dataframe Rows with R

Subset is your safest and easiest answer.

subset(dataframe, A==B & E!=0)

Real data example with mtcars

subset(mtcars, cyl==6 & am!=0)

Select last N rows from MySQL

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id DESC,datechat desc LIMIT 50

If you have a date field that is storing the date(and time) on which the chat was sent or any field that is filled with incrementally(order by DESC) or desinscrementally( order by ASC) data per row put it as second column on which the data should be order.

That's what worked for me!!!! hope it will help!!!!

Remove characters after specific character in string, then remove substring?

you can use .NET's built in method to remove the QueryString. i.e., Request.QueryString.Remove["whatever"];

here whatever in the [ ] is name of the querystring which you want to remove.

Try this... I hope this will help.

How do write IF ELSE statement in a MySQL query

cv2.imshow("Window", img)

How to refresh token with Google API client?

The access type should be set to offline. state is a variable you set for your own use, not the API's use.

Make sure you have the latest version of the client library and add:

$client->setAccessType('offline');

See Forming the URL for an explanation of the parameters.

How to include !important in jquery

For those times when you need to use jquery to set !important properties, here is a plugin I build that will allow you to do so.

$.fn.important = function(key, value) {
    var q = Object.assign({}, this.style)
    q[key] = `${value} !important`;
    $(this).css("cssText", Object.entries(q).filter(x => x[1]).map(([k, v]) => (`${k}: ${v}`)).join(';'));
};

$('div').important('color', 'red');

Get class labels from Keras functional model

UPDATE: This is no longer valid for newer Keras versions. Please use argmax() as in the answer from Emilia Apostolova.

The functional API models have just the predict() function which for classification would return the class probabilities. You can then select the most probable classes using the probas_to_classes() utility function. Example:

y_proba = model.predict(x)
y_classes = keras.np_utils.probas_to_classes(y_proba)

This is equivalent to model.predict_classes(x) on the Sequential model.

The reason for this is that the functional API support more general class of tasks where predict_classes() would not make sense.

Static way to get 'Context' in Android?

According to this source you can obtain your own Context by extending ContextWrapper

public class SomeClass extends ContextWrapper {

    public SomeClass(Context base) {
      super(base);
    }

    public void someMethod() {
        // notice how I can use "this" for Context
        // this works because this class has it's own Context just like an Activity or Service
        startActivity(this, SomeRealActivity.class);

        //would require context too
        File cacheDir = getCacheDir();
    }
}

JavaDoc for ContextWrapper

Proxying implementation of Context that simply delegates all of its calls to another Context. Can be subclassed to modify behavior without changing the original Context.

GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set

ran across this page and several like it all talking about the GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set message. In my case our sys admin had decided that the apache2 directory needed to be on a mounted filesystem in case the disk for the server stopped working and had to get rebuilt. I found this with a simple df command:

-->  UBIk  <--:root@ns1:[/etc]
--PRODUCTION--(16:48:43)--> df -h

To fix this I just put the following in the root user's shell (as they are the only ones who need to be looking at etckeeper revisions:

and all was well and good...much joy.

How does OAuth 2 protect against things like replay attacks using the Security Token?

Here is perhaps the simplest explanation of how OAuth2 works for all 4 grant types, i.e., 4 different flows where the app can acquire the access token.

Similarity

All grant type flows have 2 parts:

  • Get access token
  • Use access token

The 2nd part 'use access token' is the same for all flows

Difference

The 1st part of the flow 'get access token' for each grant type varies.

However, in general the 'get access token' part can be summarized as consisting 5 steps:

  1. Pre-register your app (client) with OAuth provider, e.g., Twitter, etc. to get client id/secret
  2. Create a social login button with client id & required scopes/permissions on your page so when clicked user gets redirected to OAuth provider to be authenticated
  3. OAuth provider request user to grant permission to your app (client)
  4. OAuth provider issues code
  5. App (client) acquires access token

Here is a side-by-side diagram comparing how each grant type flow is different based on the 5 steps.

This diagram is from https://blog.oauth.io/introduction-oauth2-flow-diagrams/

enter image description here

Each have different levels of implementation difficulty, security, and uses cases. Depending on your needs and situation, you will have to use one of them. Which to use?

Client Credential: If your app is only serving a single user

Resource Owner Password Crendential: This should be used only as last resort as the user has to hand over his credentials to the app, which means the app can do everything the user can

Authorization Code: The best way to get user authorization

Implicit: If you app is mobile or single-page app

There is more explanation of the choice here: https://blog.oauth.io/choose-oauth2-flow-grant-types-for-app/

How to debug a bash script?

Some trick to debug scripts:

Using set -[nvx]

In addition to

set -x

and

set +x

for stopping dump.

I would like to speak about set -v wich dump as smaller as less developped output.

bash <<<$'set -x\nfor i in {0..9};do\n\techo $i\n\tdone\nset +x' 2>&1 >/dev/null|wc -l
21

for arg in x v n nx nv nvx;do echo "- opts: $arg"
    bash 2> >(wc -l|sed s/^/stderr:/) > >(wc -l|sed s/^/stdout:/) <<eof
        set -$arg
        for i in {0..9};do
            echo $i
          done
        set +$arg
        echo Done.
eof
    sleep .02
  done
- opts: x
stdout:11
stderr:21
- opts: v
stdout:11
stderr:4
- opts: n
stdout:0
stderr:0
- opts: nx
stdout:0
stderr:0
- opts: nv
stdout:0
stderr:5
- opts: nvx
stdout:0
stderr:5

Dump variables or tracing on the fly

For testing some variables, I use sometime this:

bash <(sed '18ideclare >&2 -p var1 var2' myscript.sh) args

for adding:

declare >&2 -p var1 var2

at line 18 and running resulting script (with args), without having to edit them.

of course, this could be used for adding set [+-][nvx]:

bash <(sed '18s/$/\ndeclare -p v1 v2 >\&2/;22s/^/set -x\n/;26s/^/set +x\n/' myscript) args

will add declare -p v1 v2 >&2 after line 18, set -x before line 22 and set +x before line 26.

little sample:

bash <(sed '2,3s/$/\ndeclare -p LINENO i v2 >\&2/;5s/^/set -x\n/;7s/^/set +x\n/' <(
        seq -f 'echo $@, $((i=%g))' 1 8)) arg1 arg2
arg1 arg2, 1
arg1 arg2, 2
declare -i LINENO="3"
declare -- i="2"
/dev/fd/63: line 3: declare: v2: not found
arg1 arg2, 3
declare -i LINENO="5"
declare -- i="3"
/dev/fd/63: line 5: declare: v2: not found
arg1 arg2, 4
+ echo arg1 arg2, 5
arg1 arg2, 5
+ echo arg1 arg2, 6
arg1 arg2, 6
+ set +x
arg1 arg2, 7
arg1 arg2, 8

Note: Care about $LINENO will be affected by on-the-fly modifications!

( To see resulting script whithout executing, simply drop bash <( and ) arg1 arg2 )

scale Image in an UIButton to AspectFit?

The easiest way to programmatically set a UIButton imageView in aspect fit mode :

Swift

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .fill
button.contentVerticalAlignment = .fill
button.imageView?.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit

Objective-C

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentFill;
button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentFill;
button.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;

Note: You can change .scaleAspectFit (UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit) to .scaleAspectFill (UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill) to set an aspect fill mode

How do we change the URL of a working GitLab install?

Actually, this is NOT totally correct. I arrived at this page, trying to answer this question myself, as we are transitioning production GitLab server from http:// to https:// and most stuff is working as described above, but when you login to https://server and everything looks fine ... except when you browse to a project or repository, and it displays the SSH and HTTP instructions... It says "http" and the instructions it displays also say "http".

I found some more things to edit though:

/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
  production: &base
    gitlab:
      host: git.domain.com

      # Also edit these:
      port: 443
      https: true
...

and

/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab
  server {
    server_name git.domain.com;

    # Also edit these:
    listen 443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate     /etc/ssl/certs/somecert.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/somekey.key;

Improve INSERT-per-second performance of SQLite

Bulk imports seems to perform best if you can chunk your INSERT/UPDATE statements. A value of 10,000 or so has worked well for me on a table with only a few rows, YMMV...

Jquery DatePicker Set default date

First you need to get the current date

var currentDate = new Date();

Then you need to place it in the arguments of datepicker like given below

$("#datepicker").datepicker("setDate", currentDate);

Check the following jsfiddle.

What is the default username and password in Tomcat?

Well, you need to look at the answers above, but you'll find that the manager app requires you to have a user with the role 'manager', I believe, so you'll probably want to add the following to your tomcat-users.xml file:

<role rolename="manager"/>
<user username="youruser" password="yourpass" roles="manager"/>

This might seem simplistic, but it's just a simple implementation that you can extend / replace with other authentication mechanisms.

Bash script processing limited number of commands in parallel

You can run 20 processes and use the command:

Your script will wait and continue when all your background jobs are finished.

How to measure time taken by a function to execute

Don't use Date(). Read below.

Use performance.now():

<script>
var a = performance.now();
alert('do something...');
var b = performance.now();
alert('It took ' + (b - a) + ' ms.');
</script>

It works on:

  • IE 10 ++

  • FireFox 15 ++

  • Chrome 24 ++

  • Safari 8 ++

  • Opera 15 ++

  • Android 4.4 ++

  • etc, etc

console.time may be viable for you, but it's non-standard §:

This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Besides browser support, performance.now seems to have the potential to provide more accurate timings as it appears to be the bare-bones version of console.time.


<rant> Also, DON'T EVER use Date for anything because it's affected by changes in "system time". Which means we will get invalid results —like "negative timing"— when the user doesn't have an accurate system time:

On Oct 2014, my system clock went haywire and guess what.... I opened Gmail and saw all of my day's emails "sent 0 minutes ago". And I'd thought Gmail is supposed to be built by world-class engineers from Google.......

(Set your system clock to one year ago and go to Gmail so we can all have a good laugh. Perhaps someday we will have a Hall of Shame for JS Date.)

Google Spreadsheet's now() function also suffers from this problem.

The only time you'll be using Date is when you want to show the user his system clock time. Not when you want to get the time or to measure anything.

I have same answer here on my blog ..

PyLint "Unable to import" error - how to set PYTHONPATH?

If you want to walk up from the current module/file that was handed to pylint looking for the root of the module, this will do it.

[MASTER]
init-hook=sys.path += [os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.sep, *sys.argv[-1].split(os.sep)[:i])) for i, _ in enumerate(sys.argv[-1].split(os.sep)) if os.path.isdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.sep, *sys.argv[-1].split(os.sep)[:i], '.git')))][::-1]

If you have a python module ~/code/mymodule/, with a top-level directory layout like this

~/code/mymodule/
+-- .pylintrc
+-- mymodule/
¦   +-- src.py
+-- tests/
    +-- test_src.py

Then this will add ~/code/mymodule/ to your python path and allow for pylint to run in your IDE, even if you're importing mymodule.src in tests/test_src.py.

You could swap out a check for a .pylintrc instead but a git directory is usually what you want when it comes to the root of a python module.

Before you ask

The answers using import sys, os; sys.path.append(...) are missing something that justifies the format of my answer. I don't normally write code that way, but in this case you're stuck dealing with the limitations of the pylintrc config parser and evaluator. It literally runs exec in the context of the init_hook callback so any attempt to import pathlib, use multi-line statements, store something into variables, etc., won't work.

A less disgusting form of my code might look like this:

import os
import sys

def look_for_git_dirs(filename):
    has_git_dir = []
    filename_parts = filename.split(os.sep)
    for i, _ in enumerate(filename_parts):
        filename_part = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.sep, *filename_parts[:i]))
        if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(filename_part, '.git')):
            has_git_dir.append(filename_part)
    return has_git_dir[::-1]

# don't use .append() in case there's < 1 or > 1 matches found
sys.path += look_for_git_dirs(sys.argv[-1])

I wish I could have used pathlib.Path(filename).parents it would have made things much easier.

master branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, how to 'undiverge' branches'?

Met this problem when I created a branch based on branch A by

git checkout -b a

and then I set the up stream of branch a to origin branch B by

git branch -u origin/B

Then I got the error message above.

One way to solve this problem for me was,

  • Delete the branch a
  • Create a new branch b by
git checkout -b b origin/B

Freeze the top row for an html table only (Fixed Table Header Scrolling)

This is called Fixed Header Scrolling. There are a number of documented approaches:

http://www.imaputz.com/cssStuff/bigFourVersion.html

You won't effectively pull this off without JavaScript ... especially if you want cross browser support.

There are a number of gotchyas with any approach you take, especially concerning cross browser/version support.

Edit:

Even if it's not the header you want to fix, but the first row of data, the concept is still the same. I wasn't 100% which you were referring to.

Additional thought I was tasked by my company to research a solution for this that could function in IE7+, Firefox, and Chrome.

After many moons of searching, trying, and frustration it really boiled down to a fundamental problem. For the most part, in order to gain the fixed header, you need to implement fixed height/width columns because most solutions involve using two separate tables, one for the header which will float and stay in place over the second table that contains the data.

//float this one right over second table
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Header 1</th>
    <th>Header 2</th>
  </tr>
</table>

<table>
//Data
</table>

An alternative approach some try is utilize the tbody and thead tags but that is flawed too because IE will not allow you put a scrollbar on the tbody which means you can't limit its height (so stupid IMO).

<table>
  <thead style="do some stuff to fix its position">
  <tr>
    <th>Header 1</th>
    <th>Header 2</th>
  </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody style="No scrolling allowed here!">
     Data here
  </tbody>
</table>

This approach has many issues such as ensures EXACT pixel widths because tables are so cute in that different browsers will allocate pixels differently based on calculations and you simply CANNOT (AFAIK) guarantee that the distribution will be perfect in all cases. It becomes glaringly obvious if you have borders within your table.

I took a different approach and said screw tables since you can't make this guarantee. I used divs to mimic tables. This also has issues of positioning the rows and columns (mainly because floating has issues, using in-line block won't work for IE7, so it really left me with using absolute positioning to put them in their proper places).

There is someone out there that made the Slick Grid which has a very similar approach to mine and you can use and a good (albeit complex) example for achieving this.

how to rotate a bitmap 90 degrees

I would simplify comm1x's Kotlin extension function even more:

fun Bitmap.rotate(degrees: Float) =
    Bitmap.createBitmap(this, 0, 0, width, height, Matrix().apply { postRotate(degrees) }, true)

Jquery $.ajax fails in IE on cross domain calls

Could you check if the problem with IE relies on not defining security zones to allow cross domain requests? See this microsoft page for an explanation.

OTOH, this page mentions that IE7 and eariler cannot do cross domain calls, but IE8 can, using a different object than XMLHttpRequest, the one JQuery uses. Could you check if XDomainRequest works?

EDIT (2013-08-22)

The second link is dead, so I'm writing here some of its information, taken from the wayback machine:

XDomainRequest Supported: IE8

Rather than implement the CORS version of XMLHttpRequest, the IE team have gone with there own propriety object, named XDomainRequest. The usage of XDomainRequest has been simplified from XMLHttpRequest, by having more events thrown (with onload perhaps being the most important).

This implementation has a few limitations attached to it. For example, cookies are not sent when using this object, which can be a headache for cookie based sessions on the server side. Also, ContentType can not be set, which poses a problem in ASP.NET and possibly other server side languages (see http://www.actionmonitor.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?id=5).

var xdr = new XDomainRequest();
xdr.onload = function() { alert("READY"); };
xdr.open("GET", "script.html");
xdr.send();

Trying to get property of non-object MySQLi result

Just thought I would expand on this a bit.

If you perform a MYSQLI SELECT query that returns 0 results, it returns FALSE.

However, if you get this error and you have written your own MYSQLI Query function, then you can also get this error if the query you are running is not a select but an update. An update query will return either TRUE or FALSE. So if you just assume that any non false result will have records returned, then you will trip up when you run an update or anything other than select.

The easiest solution, once you have checked that its not false, is to first check that the result of the query is an object.

    $sqlResult = $connection->query($sql);
    if (!$sqlResult)
    {
     ... 
    }
    else if (is_object($sqlResult))
    {
        $sqlRowCount = $sqlResult->num_rows;
    }
    else
    {
        $sqlRowCount = 0;
    }

What is the difference between field, variable, attribute, and property in Java POJOs?

From here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/information/glossary.html


  • field

    • A data member of a class. Unless specified otherwise, a field is not static.

  • property

    • Characteristics of an object that users can set, such as the color of a window.

  • attribute

    • Not listed in the above glossary

  • variable

    • An item of data named by an identifier. Each variable has a type, such as int or Object, and a scope. See also class variable, instance variable, local variable.

Adding a simple UIAlertView

As a supplementary to the two previous answers (of user "sudo rm -rf" and "Evan Mulawski"), if you don't want to do anything when your alert view is clicked, you can just allocate, show and release it. You don't have to declare the delegate protocol.

Delete the last two characters of the String

It was almost correct just change your last line like:

String stopEnd = stop.substring(0, stop.length() - 1); //replace stopName with stop.

OR

you can replace your last two lines;

String stopEnd =   stopName.substring(0, stopName.length() - 2);

%i or %d to print integer in C using printf()?

d and i conversion specifiers behave the same with fprintf but behave differently for fscanf.

As some other wrote in their answer, the idiomatic way to print an int is using d conversion specifier.

Regarding i specifier and fprintf, C99 Rationale says that:

The %i conversion specifier was added in C89 for programmer convenience to provide symmetry with fscanf’s %i conversion specifier, even though it has exactly the same meaning as the %d conversion specifier when used with fprintf.

How to analyze a JMeter summary report?

Short explanation looks like:

  1. Sample - number of requests sent
  2. Avg - an Arithmetic mean for all responses (sum of all times / count)
  3. Minimal response time (ms)
  4. Maximum response time (ms)
  5. Deviation - see Standard Deviation article
  6. Error rate - percentage of failed tests
  7. Throughput - how many requests per second does your server handle. Larger is better.
  8. KB/Sec - self expalanatory
  9. Avg. Bytes - average response size

If you having troubles with interpreting results you could try BM.Sense results analysis service

How can I find non-ASCII characters in MySQL?

MySQL provides comprehensive character set management that can help with this kind of problem.

SELECT whatever
  FROM tableName 
 WHERE columnToCheck <> CONVERT(columnToCheck USING ASCII)

The CONVERT(col USING charset) function turns the unconvertable characters into replacement characters. Then, the converted and unconverted text will be unequal.

See this for more discussion. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/charset-repertoire.html

You can use any character set name you wish in place of ASCII. For example, if you want to find out which characters won't render correctly in code page 1257 (Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian) use CONVERT(columnToCheck USING cp1257)

Login credentials not working with Gmail SMTP

I ran into a similar problem and stumbled on this question. I got an SMTP Authentication Error but my user name / pass was correct. Here is what fixed it. I read this:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

In a nutshell, google is not allowing you to log in via smtplib because it has flagged this sort of login as "less secure", so what you have to do is go to this link while you're logged in to your google account, and allow the access:

https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

Once that is set (see my screenshot below), it should work.

Less Secure Apps

Login now works:

smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.login('[email protected]', 'me_pass')

Response after change:

(235, '2.7.0 Accepted')

Response prior:

smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, '5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 g66sm2224117qgf.37 - gsmtp')

Still not working? If you still get the SMTPAuthenticationError but now the code is 534, its because the location is unknown. Follow this link:

https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

Click continue and this should give you 10 minutes for registering your new app. So proceed to doing another login attempt now and it should work.

This doesn't seem to work right away you may be stuck for a while getting this error in smptlib:

235 == 'Authentication successful'
503 == 'Error: already authenticated'

The message says to use the browser to sign in:

SMTPAuthenticationError: (534, '5.7.9 Please log in with your web browser and then try again. Learn more at\n5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 qo11sm4014232igb.17 - gsmtp')

After enabling 'lesssecureapps', go for a coffee, come back, and try the 'DisplayUnlockCaptcha' link again. From user experience, it may take up to an hour for the change to kick in. Then try the sign-in process again.

Python: Open file in zip without temporarily extracting it

In theory, yes, it's just a matter of plugging things in. Zipfile can give you a file-like object for a file in a zip archive, and image.load will accept a file-like object. So something like this should work:

import zipfile
archive = zipfile.ZipFile('images.zip', 'r')
imgfile = archive.open('img_01.png')
try:
    image = pygame.image.load(imgfile, 'img_01.png')
finally:
    imgfile.close()

How does a ArrayList's contains() method evaluate objects?

Other posters have addressed the question about how contains() works.

An equally important aspect of your question is how to properly implement equals(). And the answer to this is really dependent on what constitutes object equality for this particular class. In the example you provided, if you have two different objects that both have x=5, are they equal? It really depends on what you are trying to do.

If you are only interested in object equality, then the default implementation of .equals() (the one provided by Object) uses identity only (i.e. this == other). If that's what you want, then just don't implement equals() on your class (let it inherit from Object). The code you wrote, while kind of correct if you are going for identity, would never appear in a real class b/c it provides no benefit over using the default Object.equals() implementation.

If you are just getting started with this stuff, I strongly recommend the Effective Java book by Joshua Bloch. It's a great read, and covers this sort of thing (plus how to correctly implement equals() when you are trying to do more than identity based comparisons)

How do I generate a random int number?

create a Random object

you don't have to initialize new Random() every time you need a random number, initiate one Random then use it as many times as you need inside a loop or whatever

Set folder for classpath

If you are using Java 6 or higher you can use wildcards of this form:

java -classpath ".;c:\mylibs\*;c:\extlibs\*" MyApp

If you would like to add all subdirectories: lib\a\, lib\b\, lib\c\, there is no mechanism for this in except:

java -classpath ".;c:\lib\a\*;c:\lib\b\*;c:\lib\c\*" MyApp

There is nothing like lib\*\* or lib\** wildcard for the kind of job you want to be done.

How to find integer array size in java

Integer Array doesn't contain size() or length() method. Try the below code, it'll work. ArrayList contains size() method. String contains length(). Since you have used int array[], so it will be array.length

public class Example {

    int array[] = {1, 99, 10000, 84849, 111, 212, 314, 21, 442, 455, 244, 554, 22, 22, 211};

    public void Printrange() {

        for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            if (array[i] > 100 && array[i] < 500) {
                System.out.println("numbers with in range" + i);
            }
        }
    }
}

Read response body in JAX-RS client from a post request

Realizing the revision of the code I found the cause of why the reading method did not work for me. The problem was that one of the dependencies that my project used jersey 1.x. Update the version, adjust the client and it works.

I use the following maven dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>

How do I manually create a file with a . (dot) prefix in Windows? For example, .htaccess

Even if you don't have any third party editor (Notepad++ etc.) then also you can create files with dot as prefix.

To create .htaccess file, first create htaccess.txt file with Context Menu > New Text Document.

Then press Alt + D (Windows 7) and Ctrl + C to copy the path from the Address bar of Windows Explorer.

Then go to command line and type code as below to rename your file:

rename C:\path\to\htaccess.txt .htaccess

Now you have a blank .htaccess without opening it in any editor.

Hope this helps you out.

Python, Pandas : write content of DataFrame into text File

Way to get Excel data to text file in tab delimited form. Need to use Pandas as well as xlrd.

import pandas as pd
import xlrd
import os

Path="C:\downloads"
wb = pd.ExcelFile(Path+"\\input.xlsx", engine=None)
sheet2 = pd.read_excel(wb, sheet_name="Sheet1")
Excel_Filter=sheet2[sheet2['Name']=='Test']
Excel_Filter.to_excel("C:\downloads\\output.xlsx", index=None)
wb2=xlrd.open_workbook(Path+"\\output.xlsx")
df=wb2.sheet_by_name("Sheet1")
x=df.nrows
y=df.ncols

for i in range(0,x):
    for j in range(0,y):
        A=str(df.cell_value(i,j))
        f=open(Path+"\\emails.txt", "a")
        f.write(A+"\t")
        f.close()
    f=open(Path+"\\emails.txt", "a")
    f.write("\n")
    f.close()
os.remove(Path+"\\output.xlsx")
print(Excel_Filter)

We need to first generate the xlsx file with filtered data and then convert the information into a text file.

Depending on requirements, we can use \n \t for loops and type of data we want in the text file.

Android Shared preferences for creating one time activity (example)

You can create your custom SharedPreference class

public class YourPreference {   
    private static YourPreference yourPreference;
    private SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;

    public static YourPreference getInstance(Context context) {
        if (yourPreference == null) {
            yourPreference = new YourPreference(context);
        }
        return yourPreference;
    }

    private YourPreference(Context context) {
        sharedPreferences = context.getSharedPreferences("YourCustomNamedPreference",Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    }

    public void saveData(String key,String value) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = sharedPreferences.edit();
        prefsEditor .putString(key, value);
        prefsEditor.commit();           
    }

    public String getData(String key) {
        if (sharedPreferences!= null) {
           return sharedPreferences.getString(key, "");
        }
        return "";         
    }
}

You can get YourPrefrence instance like:

YourPreference yourPrefrence = YourPreference.getInstance(context);
yourPreference.saveData(YOUR_KEY,YOUR_VALUE);

String value = yourPreference.getData(YOUR_KEY);

Download the Android SDK components for offline install

I work behind a firewall on windows and I have the Same problem. But I managed to fix it:

  • Close all your internet applications (browsers, downloading tools etc...)
  • Start -> Execute -> type cmd then hit Enter (displays the command prompt)
  • Type netstat
  • In the results returned, find your Proxy address :

    TCP YOURMACHINENAME:PORT DISTANTMACHINE1:PORT
    TCP YOURMACHINENAME:PORT DISTANTMACHINE2:PORT
    TCP YOURMACHINENAME:PORT DISTANTMACHINE3:PORT
    
  • Your proxy address is one of the DISTANTMACHINEx

  • Your proxy port is the port following the ":"
  • Retype this proxy address and the proxy port in the "setting" page of android SDK manager
  • Tick "force https...http://"
  • Retry

Enzyme - How to access and set <input> value?

With Enzyme 3, if you need to change an input value but don't need to fire the onChange function you can just do this (node property has been removed):

wrapper.find('input').instance().value = "foo";

You can use wrapper.find('input').simulate("change", { target: { value: "foo" }}) to invoke onChange if you have a prop for that (ie, for controlled components).

How to insert tab character when expandtab option is on in Vim

You can use <CTRL-V><Tab> in "insert mode". In insert mode, <CTRL-V> inserts a literal copy of your next character.

If you need to do this often, @Dee`Kej suggested (in the comments) setting Shift+Tab to insert a real tab with this mapping:

:inoremap <S-Tab> <C-V><Tab>

Also, as noted by @feedbackloop, on Windows you may need to press <CTRL-Q> rather than <CTRL-V>.

Can you recommend a free light-weight MySQL GUI for Linux?

Here are few solutions -

  • MySql Gui tools is official ui from Mysql.
  • You can also try Mysql Workbench which is going to replace Gui Tools.
  • Mysql Yog can be run on Linux using wine (I think they officially recommend this method).
  • HeidiSql is also good option, I use it most of the time. It also run using wine on Linux. It lightest of all.
  • If you are looking for web based solution than phpmyadmin is the solution.

Since you are already using sqlyog, I suggest you to use same on Linux as well.

{"<user xmlns=''> was not expected.} Deserializing Twitter XML

The simplest and best solution is just to use XMLRoot attribute in your class, in which you wish to deserialize.

...
}

Also, use the following Assembly :

using System.Xml.Serialization;

</div>

if you do this it should work

Autowiring two beans implementing same interface - how to set default bean to autowire?

The reason why @Resource(name = "{your child class name}") works but @Autowired sometimes don't work is because of the difference of their Matching sequence

Matching sequence of @Autowire
Type, Qualifier, Name

Matching sequence of @Resource
Name, Type, Qualifier

The more detail explanation can be found here:
Inject and Resource and Autowired annotations

In this case, different child class inherited from the parent class or interface confuses @Autowire, because they are from same type; As @Resource use Name as first matching priority , it works.

Palindrome check in Javascript

If you want efficiency and simplicity, I recommend this approach:

function Palindrome(str) {
    let len = str.length, 
        i = 0;

    if (len < 3) 
        return false;

    while (len--) {
        if (str[i] === str[len])
            i++;
        else
            return false;
    }

    return true;
}

Init array of structs in Go

Adding this just as an addition to @jimt's excellent answer:

one common way to define it all at initialization time is using an anonymous struct:

var opts = []struct {
    shortnm      byte
    longnm, help string
    needArg      bool
}{
    {'a', "multiple", "Usage for a", false},
    {
        shortnm: 'b',
        longnm:  "b-option",
        needArg: false,
        help:    "Usage for b",
    },
}

This is commonly used for testing as well to define few test cases and loop through them.

Java - removing first character of a string

Another solution, you can solve your problem using replaceAll with some regex ^.{1} (regex demo) for example :

String str = "Jamaica";
int nbr = 1;
str = str.replaceAll("^.{" + nbr + "}", "");//Output = amaica

CSS: how to get scrollbars for div inside container of fixed height

Pass Parameter to Gulp Task

If you use gulp with yargs, notice the following:

If you have a task 'customer' and wan't to use yargs build in Parameter checking for required commands:

.command("customer <place> [language]","Create a customer directory") call it with:

gulp customer --customer Bob --place Chicago --language english

yargs will allway throw an error, that there are not enough commands was assigned to the call, even if you have!! —

Give it a try and add only a digit to the command (to make it not equal to the gulp-task name)... and it will work:

.command("customer1 <place> [language]","Create a customer directory")

This is cause of gulp seems to trigger the task, before yargs is able to check for this required Parameter. It cost me surveral hours to figure this out.

Hope this helps you..

ADB Driver and Windows 8.1

The most complete answer I have found is here: http://blog.kikicode.com/2013/10/installing-android-adb-driver-in.html

I'm copying the complete answer below.


Installing Android ADB driver in Windows 8.1 64-bit when all else fails

For some reason I just couldn't get my machine to recognize Xperia J in Windows 8.1 64-bit. Even after installing latest Sony PC Companion (2.10.174). Device Manager kept showing yellow exclamation mark to an 'Android'.

Here's the solution, but I don't promise it will work on your device!

1. Find out your device's VID and PID

Open Device Manager, right-click that Android with yellow exclamation mark and click Properties. Go to Details tab. In Property, select Hardware Ids. Right-click the value and click Copy. Paste the value somewhere.

2. Download Android USB Driver

Run Android SDK Manager. Expand Extras, tick Google USB Driver, click Install packages. After installation, look for the driver location by hovering mouse over Google USB Driver. The location will appear in the tooltip.

3. Modify android_winusb.inf

Go to the usb driver location, for example in the above picture it is c:\Android\android-studio\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver Make a backup copy of android_winusb.inf Open android_winusb.inf with a text editor. Notepad is fine but Notepad++ is better, it will syntax highlight the inf file! Look for [Google.NTx86], and insert a line with your device's hardware ID that you copied above, for example

[Google.NTx86]

; ... other existing lines

;SONY Sony Xperia J
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6188&MI_01

Look for [Google.NTamd86], and insert the same lines, for example:

[Google.NTamd64]

; ... other existing lines

;SONY Sony Xperia J
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6188&MI_01

Save the file.

4. Disable driver signing

Run Command Prompt as an administrator Paste and run the following commands:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Restart Windows.

5. Install driver

Open Device Manager, right-click that Android with yellow exclamation mark and click Update Driver Software. Click Browse my computer for driver software. Enter or browse to the folder containing android_winusb.inf, eg: C:\Android\android-studio\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver Click Next. The driver will install.

How can I put a ListView into a ScrollView without it collapsing?

Before it was not possible. But with the release of new Appcompat libraries and Design libraries, this can be achieved.

You just have to use NestedScrollView https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/NestedScrollView.html

I am not aware it will work with Listview or not but works with RecyclerView.

Code Snippet:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Explanation of the UML arrows

client denied by server configuration

This has happened to me several times migrating from Apache 2.2.

What I have found is that there is an Order,Deny that I missed with VIM's Search feature somehow that is the default main Vhost, line 379. Hope this helps someone. I commented out the Order Deny,Allow and Deny from All and it worked!

ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher() vs ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher()

The request method getRequestDispatcher() can be used for referring to local servlets within single webapp.

Servlet context based getRequestDispatcher() method can used of referring servlets from other web applications deployed on SAME server.

What is the maximum characters for the NVARCHAR(MAX)?

The max size for a column of type NVARCHAR(MAX) is 2 GByte of storage.

Since NVARCHAR uses 2 bytes per character, that's approx. 1 billion characters.

Leo Tolstoj's War and Peace is a 1'440 page book, containing about 600'000 words - so that might be 6 million characters - well rounded up. So you could stick about 166 copies of the entire War and Peace book into each NVARCHAR(MAX) column.

Is that enough space for your needs? :-)

How many times does each value appear in a column?

The quickest way would be with a pivot table. Make sure your column of data has a header row, highlight the data and the header, from the insert ribbon select pivot table and then drag your header from the pivot table fields list to the row labels and to the values boxes.

How do I pass a variable by reference?

Arguments are passed by assignment. The rationale behind this is twofold:

  1. the parameter passed in is actually a reference to an object (but the reference is passed by value)
  2. some data types are mutable, but others aren't

So:

  • If you pass a mutable object into a method, the method gets a reference to that same object and you can mutate it to your heart's delight, but if you rebind the reference in the method, the outer scope will know nothing about it, and after you're done, the outer reference will still point at the original object.

  • If you pass an immutable object to a method, you still can't rebind the outer reference, and you can't even mutate the object.

To make it even more clear, let's have some examples.

List - a mutable type

Let's try to modify the list that was passed to a method:

def try_to_change_list_contents(the_list):
    print('got', the_list)
    the_list.append('four')
    print('changed to', the_list)

outer_list = ['one', 'two', 'three']

print('before, outer_list =', outer_list)
try_to_change_list_contents(outer_list)
print('after, outer_list =', outer_list)

Output:

before, outer_list = ['one', 'two', 'three']
got ['one', 'two', 'three']
changed to ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']
after, outer_list = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

Since the parameter passed in is a reference to outer_list, not a copy of it, we can use the mutating list methods to change it and have the changes reflected in the outer scope.

Now let's see what happens when we try to change the reference that was passed in as a parameter:

def try_to_change_list_reference(the_list):
    print('got', the_list)
    the_list = ['and', 'we', 'can', 'not', 'lie']
    print('set to', the_list)

outer_list = ['we', 'like', 'proper', 'English']

print('before, outer_list =', outer_list)
try_to_change_list_reference(outer_list)
print('after, outer_list =', outer_list)

Output:

before, outer_list = ['we', 'like', 'proper', 'English']
got ['we', 'like', 'proper', 'English']
set to ['and', 'we', 'can', 'not', 'lie']
after, outer_list = ['we', 'like', 'proper', 'English']

Since the the_list parameter was passed by value, assigning a new list to it had no effect that the code outside the method could see. The the_list was a copy of the outer_list reference, and we had the_list point to a new list, but there was no way to change where outer_list pointed.

String - an immutable type

It's immutable, so there's nothing we can do to change the contents of the string

Now, let's try to change the reference

def try_to_change_string_reference(the_string):
    print('got', the_string)
    the_string = 'In a kingdom by the sea'
    print('set to', the_string)

outer_string = 'It was many and many a year ago'

print('before, outer_string =', outer_string)
try_to_change_string_reference(outer_string)
print('after, outer_string =', outer_string)

Output:

before, outer_string = It was many and many a year ago
got It was many and many a year ago
set to In a kingdom by the sea
after, outer_string = It was many and many a year ago

Again, since the the_string parameter was passed by value, assigning a new string to it had no effect that the code outside the method could see. The the_string was a copy of the outer_string reference, and we had the_string point to a new string, but there was no way to change where outer_string pointed.

I hope this clears things up a little.

EDIT: It's been noted that this doesn't answer the question that @David originally asked, "Is there something I can do to pass the variable by actual reference?". Let's work on that.

How do we get around this?

As @Andrea's answer shows, you could return the new value. This doesn't change the way things are passed in, but does let you get the information you want back out:

def return_a_whole_new_string(the_string):
    new_string = something_to_do_with_the_old_string(the_string)
    return new_string

# then you could call it like
my_string = return_a_whole_new_string(my_string)

If you really wanted to avoid using a return value, you could create a class to hold your value and pass it into the function or use an existing class, like a list:

def use_a_wrapper_to_simulate_pass_by_reference(stuff_to_change):
    new_string = something_to_do_with_the_old_string(stuff_to_change[0])
    stuff_to_change[0] = new_string

# then you could call it like
wrapper = [my_string]
use_a_wrapper_to_simulate_pass_by_reference(wrapper)

do_something_with(wrapper[0])

Although this seems a little cumbersome.

Python Turtle, draw text with on screen with larger font

Use the optional font argument to turtle.write(), from the docs:

turtle.write(arg, move=False, align="left", font=("Arial", 8, "normal"))
 Parameters:

  • arg – object to be written to the TurtleScreen
  • move – True/False
  • align – one of the strings “left”, “center” or right”
  • font – a triple (fontname, fontsize, fonttype)

So you could do something like turtle.write("messi fan", font=("Arial", 16, "normal")) to change the font size to 16 (default is 8).

android EditText - finished typing event

I had the same issue and did not want to rely on the user pressing Done or Enter.

My first attempt was to use the onFocusChange listener, but it occurred that my EditText got the focus by default. When user pressed some other view, the onFocusChange was triggered without the user ever having assigned it the focus.

Next solution did it for me, where the onFocusChange is attached if the user touched the EditText:

final myEditText = new EditText(myContext); //make final to refer in onTouch
myEditText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            myEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

                @Override
                public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                    if(!hasFocus){
                        // user is done editing
                    }
                }
            }
        }
}

In my case, when the user was done editing the screen was rerendered, thereby renewing the myEditText object. If the same object is kept, you should probably remove the onFocusChange listener in onFocusChange to prevent the onFocusChange issue described at the start of this post.

Cannot obtain value of local or argument as it is not available at this instruction pointer, possibly because it has been optimized away

For web applications there is another issue which is important and it is selecting correct configuration during application publish process.

You may build your app in debug mode, but it might happen you publish it in release mode which omptimzes code by default but IDE may mislead you since it shows debug mode while published code is in release mode. You can see details in below snapshot: enter image description here

Why is the jquery script not working?

This may not be the answer you are looking for, but may help others whose jquery is not working properly, or working sometimes and not at other times.

This could be because your jquery has not yet loaded and you have started to interact with the page. Either put jquery on top in head (probably not a very great idea) or use a loader or spinner to stop the user from interacting with the page until the entire jquery has loaded.

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method

I was getting this error on a Spring Boot application where a @RestController ApplicationInfoResource had a nested class ApplicationInfo.

It seems the Spring Boot Dev Tools was using a different class loader.

The exception I was getting

2017-05-01 17:47:39.588 WARN 1516 --- [nio-8080-exec-9] .m.m.a.ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver : Resolved exception caused by Handler execution: org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access class com.gt.web.rest.ApplicationInfo from class com.gt.web.rest.ApplicationInfoResource$$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$59ce500c

Solution

I moved the nested class ApplicationInfo to a separate .java file and got rid of the problem.

Try to create remote origin first, maybe is missing because you change name of the remote repo

git remote add origin URL_TO_YOUR_REPO

Python urllib2 Basic Auth Problem

The problem could be that the Python libraries, per HTTP-Standard, first send an unauthenticated request, and then only if it's answered with a 401 retry, are the correct credentials sent. If the Foursquare servers don't do "totally standard authentication" then the libraries won't work.

Try using headers to do authentication:

import urllib2, base64

request = urllib2.Request("http://api.foursquare.com/v1/user")
base64string = base64.b64encode('%s:%s' % (username, password))
request.add_header("Authorization", "Basic %s" % base64string)   
result = urllib2.urlopen(request)

Had the same problem as you and found the solution from this thread: http://forums.shopify.com/categories/9/posts/27662

How can I remove an SSH key?

If you're trying to perform an SSH-related operation and get the following error:

$ git fetch
no such identity: <ssh key path>: No such file or directory

You can remove the missing SSH key from your SSH agent with the following:

$ eval `ssh-agent -s`  # start ssh agent
$ ssh-add -D <ssh key path>  # delete ssh key

Twitter Bootstrap Datepicker within modal window

I use:

body.modal-open .datepicker {
    z-index: 1200 !important;
}

This way: if the modal isn't open, and you want the datepicker to be at the normal z-index (in my case I needed it to be under the menu drop-down, which has a z-index of 1000), it works.

If the modal is open, the datepicker needs to be over the modal z-index (1040 or 1050), so use the body.modal-open selector.

I'm using Bootstrap 3.1.1

How do you use a variable in a regular expression?

String.prototype.replaceAll = function(a, b) {
    return this.replace(new RegExp(a.replace(/([.?*+^$[\]\\(){}|-])/ig, "\\$1"), 'ig'), b)
}

Test it like:

var whatever = 'Some [b]random[/b] text in a [b]sentence.[/b]'

console.log(whatever.replaceAll("[", "<").replaceAll("]", ">"))

Disabling browser caching for all browsers from ASP.NET

There are two approaches that I know of. The first is to tell the browser not to cache the page. Setting the Response to no cache takes care of that, however as you suspect the browser will often ignore this directive. The other approach is to set the date time of your response to a point in the future. I believe all browsers will correct this to the current time when they add the page to the cache, but it will show the page as newer when the comparison is made. I believe there may be some cases where a comparison is not made. I am not sure of the details and they change with each new browser release. Final note I have had better luck with pages that "refresh" themselves (another response directive). The refresh seems less likely to come from the cache.

Hope that helps.

how to replace an entire column on Pandas.DataFrame

For those that struggle with the "SettingWithCopy" warning, here's a workaround which may not be so efficient, but still gets the job done.

Suppose you with to overwrite column_1 and column_3, but retain column_2 and column_4

columns_to_overwrite = ["column_1", "column_3"]

First delete the columns that you intend to replace...

original_df.drop(labels=columns_to_overwrite, axis="columns", inplace=True)

... then re-insert the columns, but using the values that you intended to overwrite

original_df[columns_to_overwrite] = other_data_frame[columns_to_overwrite]

Form inline inside a form horizontal in twitter bootstrap?

This uses twitter bootstrap 3.x with one css class to get labels to sit on top of the inputs. Here's a fiddle link, make sure to expand results panel wide enough to see effect.

HTML:

  <div class="row myform">
     <div class="col-md-12">
        <form name="myform" role="form" novalidate>
           <div class="form-group">
              <label class="control-label" for="fullName">Address Line</label>
              <input required type="text" name="addr" id="addr" class="form-control" placeholder="Address"/>
           </div>

           <div class="form-inline">
              <div class="form-group">
                 <label>State</label>
                 <input required type="text" name="state" id="state" class="form-control" placeholder="State"/>
              </div>

              <div class="form-group">
                 <label>ZIP</label>
                 <input required type="text" name="zip" id="zip" class="form-control" placeholder="Zip"/>
              </div>
           </div>

           <div class="form-group">
              <label class="control-label" for="country">Country</label>
              <input required type="text" name="country" id="country" class="form-control" placeholder="country"/>
           </div>
        </form>
     </div>
  </div>

CSS:

.myform input.form-control {
   display: block;  /* allows labels to sit on input when inline */
   margin-bottom: 15px; /* gives padding to bottom of inline inputs */
}

Deep copy of a dict in python

I like and learned a lot from Lasse V. Karlsen. I modified it into the following example, which highlights pretty well the difference between shallow dictionary copies and deep copies:

    import copy

    my_dict = {'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6]}
    my_copy = copy.copy(my_dict)
    my_deepcopy = copy.deepcopy(my_dict)

Now if you change

    my_dict['a'][2] = 7

and do

    print("my_copy a[2]: ",my_copy['a'][2],",whereas my_deepcopy a[2]: ", my_deepcopy['a'][2])

you get

    >> my_copy a[2]:  7 ,whereas my_deepcopy a[2]:  3

set default schema for a sql query

SETUSER could work, having a user, even an orphaned user in the DB with the default schema needed. But SETUSER is on the legacy not supported for ever list. So a similar alternative would be to setup an application role with the needed default schema, as long as no cross DB access is needed, this should work like a treat.

unix sort descending order

The presence of the n option attached to the -k5 causes the global -r option to be ignored for that field. You have to specify both n and r at the same level (globally or locally).

sort -t $'\t' -k5,5rn

or

sort -rn -t $'\t' -k5,5
