Convert Linq Query Result to Dictionary

Looking at your example, I think this is what you want:

var dict = TableObj.ToDictionary(t => t.Key, t=> t.TimeStamp);

Find and replace strings in vim on multiple lines

Replace All:

:%s/foo/bar/g

Find each occurrence of 'foo' (in all lines), and replace it with 'bar'.

For specific lines:

:6,10s/foo/bar/g

Change each 'foo' to 'bar' for all lines from line 6 to line 10 inclusive.

How to prevent caching of my Javascript file?

You can add a random (or datetime string) as query string to the url that points to your script. Like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="test.js?q=123"></script> 

Every time you refresh the page you need to make sure the value of 'q' is changed.

Collision Detection between two images in Java

I think your problem is that you are not using good OO design for your player and enemies. Create two classes:

public class Player
{
    int X;
    int Y;
    int Width;
    int Height;

    // Getters and Setters
}

public class Enemy
{
    int X;
    int Y;
    int Width;
    int Height;

    // Getters and Setters
}

Your Player should have X,Y,Width,and Height variables.

Your enemies should as well.

In your game loop, do something like this (C#):

foreach (Enemy e in EnemyCollection)
{
    Rectangle r = new Rectangle(e.X,e.Y,e.Width,e.Height);
    Rectangle p = new Rectangle(player.X,player.Y,player.Width,player.Height);

    // Assuming there is an intersect method, otherwise just handcompare the values
    if (r.Intersects(p))
    {
       // A Collision!
       // we know which enemy (e), so we can call e.DoCollision();
       e.DoCollision();
    }
}

To speed things up, don't bother checking if the enemies coords are offscreen.

How to reload a page after the OK click on the Alert Page

Use javascript confirm() method instead of alert. It returns true if the user clicked ok button and returns false when user clicked on cancel button. Sample code will look like this :

if(confirm('Successful Message')){
    window.location.reload();  
}

counting number of directories in a specific directory

Get a count of only the directories in the current directory

echo */ | wc

you will get out put like 1 309 4594

2nd digit represents no. of directories.

or

tree -L 1 | tail -1

SHA-1 fingerprint of keystore certificate

Try this with your user & pass

keytool -list -v -keystore {path of jks file} -alias {keyname} -storepass {keypassword} -keypass {aliaspassword}

Exe

keytool -list -v -keystore "E:\AndroidStudioProject\ParathaApp\key.jks" -alias key0 -storepass mks@1 -keypass golu@1

Change Background color (css property) using Jquery

You're using a colon instead of a comma. Try:

$(body).css("background-color","blue");

You also need to wrap the id in quotes or it will look for a variable called #co

$("#co").click(change()

There are many more issues here. click isn't an HTML attribute. You want onclick (which is redundant). Try this:

<div id="co"> <!-- no onclick method needed -->
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#co").click(function() {
        $("body").css("background-color","blue"); //edit, body must be in quotes!
    });
});
</script>

You were trying to call an undefined method. It looks like you were trying to declare it inside the callback statement? I'm not sure. But please compare this to your code and see the differences.

Relative paths in Python

Instead of using

import os
dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
filename = os.path.join(dirname, 'relative/path/to/file/you/want')

as in the accepted answer, it would be more robust to use:

import inspect
import os
dirname = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(inspect.stack()[0][1]))
filename = os.path.join(dirname, 'relative/path/to/file/you/want')

because using __file__ will return the file from which the module was loaded, if it was loaded from a file, so if the file with the script is called from elsewhere, the directory returned will not be correct.

Hex transparency in colors

I realize this is an old question, but I came across it when doing something similar.

Using SASS, you have a very elegant way to convert RGBA to hex ARGB: ie-hex-str. I've used it here in a mixin.

@mixin ie8-rgba ($r, $g, $b, $a){
    $rgba: rgba($r, $g, $b, $a);
    $ie8-rgba: ie-hex-str($rgba);
    .lt-ie9 &{
      background-color: transparent;
      filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#{$ie8-rgba}', endColorstr='#{$ie8-rgba}');
  }
}

.transparent{
    @include ie8-rgba(88,153,131,.8);
    background-color: rgba(88,153,131,.8);
}

outputs:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.transparent {_x000D_
  background-color: rgba(88, 153, 131, 0.8);_x000D_
}_x000D_
.lt-ie9 .transparent {_x000D_
  background-color: transparent;_x000D_
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#CC589983', endColorstr='#CC589983');_x000D_
  zoom: 1;_x000D_
}
_x000D_

How to get rid of punctuation using NLTK tokenizer?

Sincerely asking, what is a word? If your assumption is that a word consists of alphabetic characters only, you are wrong since words such as can't will be destroyed into pieces (such as can and t) if you remove punctuation before tokenisation, which is very likely to affect your program negatively.

Hence the solution is to tokenise and then remove punctuation tokens.

import string

from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

tokens = word_tokenize("I'm a southern salesman.")
# ['I', "'m", 'a', 'southern', 'salesman', '.']

tokens = list(filter(lambda token: token not in string.punctuation, tokens))
# ['I', "'m", 'a', 'southern', 'salesman']

...and then if you wish, you can replace certain tokens such as 'm with am.

Can grep show only words that match search pattern?

$ grep -w

Excerpt from grep man page:

-w: Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words. The test is that the matching substring must either be at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word constituent character.

Java: unparseable date exception

What you're basically doing here is relying on Date#toString() which already has a fixed pattern. To convert a Java Date object into another human readable String pattern, you need SimpleDateFormat#format().

private String modifyDateLayout(String inputDate) throws ParseException{
    Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z").parse(inputDate);
    return new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss").format(date);
}

By the way, the "unparseable date" exception can here only be thrown by SimpleDateFormat#parse(). This means that the inputDate isn't in the expected pattern "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z". You'll probably need to modify the pattern to match the inputDate's actual pattern.

Update: Okay, I did a test:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String inputDate = "2010-01-04 01:32:27 UTC";
    String newDate = new Test().modifyDateLayout(inputDate);
    System.out.println(newDate);
}

This correctly prints:

03.01.2010 21:32:27

(I'm on GMT-4)

Update 2: as per your edit, you really got a ParseException on that. The most suspicious part would then be the timezone of UTC. Is this actually known at your Java environment? What Java version and what OS version are you using? Check TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(). There must be a UTC in between.

UICollectionView - dynamic cell height?

I followed the steps mentioned in this SO and everything is fine except when my Collection View has less data (text) to make it wide enough. Checking the documentation in systemLyaoutSizeFittingSize, I have this solution so my cell take up the width as I requested:

- (CGSize)calculateSizeForSizingCell:(UICollectionViewCell *)sizingCell width:(CGFloat)width {
    CGRect frame = sizingCell.frame;
    frame.size.width = width;
    sizingCell.frame = frame;
    [sizingCell setNeedsLayout];
    [sizingCell layoutIfNeeded];

    CGSize size = [sizingCell systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:UILayoutFittingCompressedSize
                        withHorizontalFittingPriority:UILayoutPriorityRequired
                              verticalFittingPriority:UILayoutPriorityFittingSizeLevel];
    return size;
}

Hope this would help someone.

- (CGSize)systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:(CGSize)targetSize NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(6_0);

Apple doc:

Equivalent to sending -systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:withHorizontalFittingPriority:verticalFittingPriority: with UILayoutPriorityFittingSizeLevel for both priorities.

While the default value is "pretty low" according to Apple's doc:

When you send -[UIView systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:], the size fitting most closely to the target size (the argument) is computed. UILayoutPriorityFittingSizeLevel is the priority level with which the view wants to conform to the target size in that computation. It's quite low. It is generally not appropriate to make a constraint at exactly this priority. You want to be higher or lower.

So my change of default behavior is to enforce the width (horizontal fitting) with UILayoutPriorityRequired.

How do I set up Visual Studio Code to compile C++ code?

There's now a C/C++ language extension from Microsoft. You can install it by going to the "quick open" thing (Ctrl+p) and typing:

ext install cpptools

You can read about it here:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/31/cc-extension-for-visual-studio-code/

It's very basic, as of May 2016.

for (i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
    rows[i].onclick = functioname(); //call the function like this
}

How to disable Home and other system buttons in Android?

Using rotation causes an exception, So I've fixed my activity using this:

HomeKeyLocker locker;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

    locker = new HomeKeyLocker();               
    locker.lock(this);
}

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    locker.unlock();
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration config) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(config);
    locker.lock(this);
}

You will need to use the @Lê Quang Duy suggestion.

Java - using System.getProperty("user.dir") to get the home directory

Program to get the current working directory=user.dir

public class CurrentDirectoryExample {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        String current = System.getProperty("user.dir");
        System.out.println("Current working directory in Java : " + current);
    }
}

Multiple conditions with CASE statements

It's not a cut and paste. The CASE expression must return a value, and you are returning a string containing SQL (which is technically a value but of a wrong type). This is what you wanted to write, I think:

SELECT * FROM [Purchasing].[Vendor] WHERE  
CASE
  WHEN @url IS null OR @url = '' OR @url = 'ALL'
    THEN PurchasingWebServiceURL LIKE '%'
  WHEN @url = 'blank'
    THEN PurchasingWebServiceURL = ''
  WHEN @url = 'fail'
    THEN PurchasingWebServiceURL NOT LIKE '%treyresearch%'
  ELSE PurchasingWebServiceURL = '%' + @url + '%' 
END

I also suspect that this might not work in some dialects, but can't test now (Oracle, I'm looking at you), due to not having booleans.

However, since @url is not dependent on the table values, why not make three different queries, and choose which to evaluate based on your parameter?

How to append elements into a dictionary in Swift?

Up till now the best way I have found to append data to a dictionary by using one of the higher order functions of Swift i.e. "reduce". Follow below code snippet:

newDictionary = oldDictionary.reduce(*newDictionary*) { r, e in var r = r; r[e.0] = e.1; return r }

@Dharmesh In your case, it will be,

newDictionary = dict.reduce([3 : "efg"]) { r, e in var r = r; r[e.0] = e.1; return r }

Please let me know if you find any issues in using above syntax.

Listen to port via a Java socket

What do you actually want to achieve? What your code does is it tries to connect to a server located at 192.168.1.104:4000. Is this the address of a server that sends the messages (because this looks like a client-side code)? If I run fake server locally:

$ nc -l 4000

...and change socket address to localhost:4000, it will work and try to read something from nc-created server.

What you probably want is to create a ServerSocket and listen on it:

ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4000);
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();

The second line will block until some other piece of software connects to your machine on port 4000. Then you can read from the returned socket. Look at this tutorial, this is actually a very broad topic (threading, protocols...)

Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

In my case (using windows 10) gradlew.bat has the following lines of code in:

set DIRNAME=%~dp0
if "%DIRNAME%" == "" set DIRNAME=.
set APP_BASE_NAME=%~n0
set APP_HOME=%DIRNAME%

The APP_HOME variable is essentially gradles root folder for the project, so, if this gets messed up in some way you are going to get:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

For me, this had been messed up because my project folder structure had an ampersand (&) in it. Eg C:\Test&Dev\MyProject

So, gradel was trying to find the gradle-wrapper.jar file in a root folder of C:\Test (stripping off everything after and including the '&')

I found this by adding the following line below the set APP_HOME=%DIRNAME% line above. Then ran the bat file to see the result.

echo "%APP_HOME%"

There will be a few other 'special characters' that could break a path/directory.

How can you run a command in bash over and over until success?

You need to test $? instead, which is the exit status of the previous command. passwd exits with 0 if everything worked ok, and non-zero if the passwd change failed (wrong password, password mismatch, etc...)

passwd
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
    passwd
done

With your backtick version, you're comparing passwd's output, which would be stuff like Enter password and confirm password and the like.

How to fix corrupted git repository?

I experienced similar issues using git version 2.7.1 under Ubuntu 18.04.3 lately. Here is how I did:

sudo apt install git-repair
git-repair  # fix a broken git repository
or
git-repair --force  # force repair, even if data is lost
git fsck  # to verify it was fixed

Most of the time the recovery process was successful

"Unable to find remote helper for 'https'" during git clone

In our case, the problem was fixed when we checked

git --exec-path

was pointing to a path that stopped to exist. (It was pointing to the path where we've compiled git and not where we copied afterwards for anyone to access it)

We did a:

export GIT_EXEC_PATH=<path_of_/libexec/git-core/>

and solved.

Error during installing HAXM, VT-X not working

If your emulators were working and now they aren't due to Avast...

How to check if object has any properties in JavaScript?

What about making a simple function?

function isEmptyObject(obj) {
  for(var prop in obj) {
    if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(obj, prop)) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}

isEmptyObject({}); // true
isEmptyObject({foo:'bar'});  // false

The hasOwnProperty method call directly on the Object.prototype is only to add little more safety, imagine the following using a normal obj.hasOwnProperty(...) call:

isEmptyObject({hasOwnProperty:'boom'});  // false

Note: (for the future) The above method relies on the for...in statement, and this statement iterates only over enumerable properties, in the currently most widely implemented ECMAScript Standard (3rd edition) the programmer doesn't have any way to create non-enumerable properties.

However this has changed now with ECMAScript 5th Edition, and we are able to create non-enumerable, non-writable or non-deletable properties, so the above method can fail, e.g.:

var obj = {};
Object.defineProperty(obj, 'test', { value: 'testVal', 
  enumerable: false,
  writable: true,
  configurable: true
});
isEmptyObject(obj); // true, wrong!!
obj.hasOwnProperty('test'); // true, the property exist!!

An ECMAScript 5 solution to this problem would be:

function isEmptyObject(obj) {
  return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj).length === 0;
}

The Object.getOwnPropertyNames method returns an Array containing the names of all the own properties of an object, enumerable or not, this method is being implemented now by browser vendors, it's already on the Chrome 5 Beta and the latest WebKit Nightly Builds.

Object.defineProperty is also available on those browsers and latest Firefox 3.7 Alpha releases.

How to get the first five character of a String

To get the first n number of characters from a string in C#

String yourstring="Some Text";  
String first_n_Number_of_Characters=yourstring.Substring(0,n);

How to check if a string "StartsWith" another string?

Another alternative with .lastIndexOf:

haystack.lastIndexOf(needle, 0) === 0

This looks backwards through haystack for an occurrence of needle starting from index 0 of haystack. In other words, it only checks if haystack starts with needle.

In principle, this should have performance advantages over some other approaches:

  • It doesn't search the entire haystack.
  • It doesn't create a new temporary string and then immediately discard it.

Text file in VBA: Open/Find Replace/SaveAs/Close File

I have had the same problem and came acrosse this site.

the solution to just set another "filename" in the

... for output as ... command was very simple and useful.

in addition (beyond the Application.GetSaveAsFilename() Dialog)

it is very simple to set a** new filename** just using

the replace command, so you may change the filename/extension

eg. (as from the first post)

sFileName = "C:\filelocation"
iFileNum = FreeFile

Open sFileName For Input As iFileNum
content = (...edit the content) 

Close iFileNum

now just set:

newFilename = replace(sFilename, ".txt", ".csv") to change the extension

or

newFilename = replace(sFilename, ".", "_edit.") for a differrent filename

and then just as before

iFileNum = FreeFile
Open newFileName For Output As iFileNum

Print #iFileNum, content
Close iFileNum 

I surfed over an hour to find out how to rename a txt-file,

with many different solutions, but it could be sooo easy :)

Remove a data connection from an Excel 2010 spreadsheet in compatibility mode

I had the same problem today. If after you delete all of the connections, the connection properties still live on. I clicked on properties, deleted the name by selecting the name window and deleting it.

A warning came up to verify I really wanted to do it. After selecting yes, it got rid of the connection. Save the workbook.

I am a hack at Excel but this seemed to work.

what do these symbolic strings mean: %02d %01d?

They are formatting String. The Java specific syntax is given in java.util.Formatter.

The general syntax is as follows:

   %[argument_index$][flags][width][.precision]conversion

%02d performs decimal integer conversion d, formatted with zero padding (0 flag), with width 2. Thus, an int argument whose value is say 7, will be formatted into "07" as a String.

You may also see this formatting string in e.g. String.format.


Commonly used formats

These are just some commonly used formats and doesn't cover the syntax exhaustively.

Zero padding for numbers

System.out.printf("Agent %03d to the rescue!", 7);
// Agent 007 to the rescue!

Width for justification

You can use the - flag for left justification; otherwise it'll be right justification.

for (Map.Entry<Object,Object> prop : System.getProperties().entrySet()) {
    System.out.printf("%-30s : %50s%n", prop.getKey(), prop.getValue());
}

This prints something like:

java.version                   :                                 1.6.0_07
java.vm.name                   :               Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
java.vm.vendor                 :                    Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.vm.specification.name     :       Java Virtual Machine Specification
java.runtime.name              :          Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment
java.vendor.url                :                     http://java.sun.com/

For more powerful message formatting, you can use java.text.MessageFormat. %n is the newline conversion (see below).

Hexadecimal conversion

System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(255));
// ff

System.out.printf("%d is %<08X", 255);
// 255 is 000000FF

Note that this also uses the < relative indexing (see below).

Floating point formatting

System.out.printf("%+,010.2f%n", 1234.567);
System.out.printf("%+,010.2f%n", -66.6666);
// +01,234.57
// -000066.67

For more powerful floating point formatting, use DecimalFormat instead.

%n for platform-specific line separator

System.out.printf("%s,%n%s%n", "Hello", "World");
// Hello,
// World

%% for an actual %-sign

System.out.printf("It's %s%% guaranteed!", 99.99);
// It's 99.99% guaranteed!

Note that the double literal 99.99 is autoboxed to Double, on which a string conversion using toString() is defined.

n$ for explicit argument indexing

System.out.printf("%1$s! %1$s %2$s! %1$s %2$s %3$s!",
    "Du", "hast", "mich"
);
// Du! Du hast! Du hast mich!

< for relative indexing

System.out.format("%s?! %<S?!?!?", "Who's your daddy");
// Who's your daddy?! WHO'S YOUR DADDY?!?!?

Bootstrap 4 card-deck with number of columns based on viewport

How can I change property names when serializing with Json.net?

If you don't have access to the classes to change the properties, or don't want to always use the same rename property, renaming can also be done by creating a custom resolver.

For example, if you have a class called MyCustomObject, that has a property called LongPropertyName, you can use a custom resolver like this…

public class CustomDataContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
  public static readonly CustomDataContractResolver Instance = new CustomDataContractResolver ();

  protected override JsonProperty CreateProperty(MemberInfo member, MemberSerialization memberSerialization)
  {
    var property = base.CreateProperty(member, memberSerialization);
    if (property.DeclaringType == typeof(MyCustomObject))
    {
      if (property.PropertyName.Equals("LongPropertyName", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
      {
        property.PropertyName = "Short";
      }
    }
    return property;
  }
}

Then call for serialization and supply the resolver:

 var result = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myCustomObjectInstance,
                new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = CustomDataContractResolver.Instance });

And the result will be shortened to {"Short":"prop value"} instead of {"LongPropertyName":"prop value"}

Read entire file in Scala?

(EDIT: This does not work in scala 2.9 and maybe not 2.8 either)

Use trunk:

scala> io.File("/etc/passwd").slurp
res0: String =

... etc

Detect when an HTML5 video finishes

You can add an event listener with 'ended' as first param

Like this :

<video src="video.ogv" id="myVideo">
  video not supported
</video>

<script type='text/javascript'>
    document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);
    function myHandler(e) {
        // What you want to do after the event
    }
</script>

Render HTML string as real HTML in a React component

I use 'react-html-parser'

yarn add react-html-parser
import ReactHtmlParser from 'react-html-parser'; 

<div> { ReactHtmlParser (html_string) } </div>

Source on npmjs.com

Lifting up @okram's comment for more visibility:

from its github description: Converts HTML strings directly into React components avoiding the need to use dangerouslySetInnerHTML from npmjs.com A utility for converting HTML strings into React components. Avoids the use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML and converts standard HTML elements, attributes and inline styles into their React equivalents.

How do I refresh a DIV content?

For div refreshing without creating div inside yours with same id, you should use this inside your function

$("#yourDiv").load(" #yourDiv > *");

How can I stop Chrome from going into debug mode?

You've accidentally set "Pause on Exceptions" to all/uncaught exceptions.

Go to the "Sources" tab. At the bottom toolbar, toggle the button that looks like the pause symbol surrounded by a circle (4th button from the left) until the color of the circle turns black to turn it off.

How to call function on child component on parent events

If you have time, use Vuex store for watching variables (aka state) or trigger (aka dispatch) an action directly.

TSQL DATETIME ISO 8601

You technically have two options when speaking of ISO dates.

In general, if you're filtering specifically on Date values alone OR looking to persist date in a neutral fashion. Microsoft recommends using the language neutral format of ymd or y-m-d. Which are both valid ISO formats.

Note that the form '2007-02-12' is considered language-neutral only for the data types DATE, DATETIME2, and DATETIMEOFFSET.

Because of this, your safest bet is to persist/filter based on the always netural ymd format.

The code:

select convert(char(10), getdate(), 126) -- ISO YYYY-MM-DD
select convert(char(8), getdate(), 112) -- ISO YYYYMMDD (safest)

PHP Error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array (array and object issues)

$blog is an object, not an array, so you should access it like so:

$blog->id;
$blog->title;
$blog->content;

Convert ArrayList<String> to String[] array

An alternative in Java 8:

String[] strings = list.stream().toArray(String[]::new);

How to make an ng-click event conditional?

It is not good to manipulate with DOM (including checking of attributes) in any place except directives. You can add into scope some value indicating if link should be disabled.

But other problem is that ngDisabled does not work on anything except form controls, so you can't use it with <a>, but you can use it with <button> and style it as link.

Another way is to use lazy evaluation of expressions like isDisabled || action() so action wouold not be called if isDisabled is true.

Here goes both solutions: http://plnkr.co/edit/5d5R5KfD4PCE8vS3OSSx?p=preview

Binning column with python pandas

You can use pandas.cut:

bins = [0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100]
df['binned'] = pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins)
print (df)
   percentage     binned
0       46.50   (25, 50]
1       44.20   (25, 50]
2      100.00  (50, 100]
3       42.12   (25, 50]

bins = [0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100]
labels = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
df['binned'] = pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins=bins, labels=labels)
print (df)
   percentage binned
0       46.50      5
1       44.20      5
2      100.00      6
3       42.12      5

Or numpy.searchsorted:

bins = [0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100]
df['binned'] = np.searchsorted(bins, df['percentage'].values)
print (df)
   percentage  binned
0       46.50       5
1       44.20       5
2      100.00       6
3       42.12       5

...and then value_counts or groupby and aggregate size:

s = pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins=bins).value_counts()
print (s)
(25, 50]     3
(50, 100]    1
(10, 25]     0
(5, 10]      0
(1, 5]       0
(0, 1]       0
Name: percentage, dtype: int64

s = df.groupby(pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins=bins)).size()
print (s)
percentage
(0, 1]       0
(1, 5]       0
(5, 10]      0
(10, 25]     0
(25, 50]     3
(50, 100]    1
dtype: int64

By default cut return categorical.

Series methods like Series.value_counts() will use all categories, even if some categories are not present in the data, operations in categorical.

Use a URL to link to a Google map with a marker on it

Is there a way to remove the separator line from a UITableView?

In your viewDidLoad:

self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
if ([self.tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)])
{
    [self.tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}

Create empty file using python

Of course there IS a way to create files without opening. It's as easy as calling os.mknod("newfile.txt"). The only drawback is that this call requires root privileges on OSX.

Excel VBA date formats

To ensure that a cell will return a date value and not just a string that looks like a date, first you must set the NumberFormat property to a Date format, then put a real date into the cell's content.

Sub test_date_or_String()
 Set c = ActiveCell
 c.NumberFormat = "@"
 c.Value = CDate("03/04/2014")
   Debug.Print c.Value & " is a " & TypeName(c.Value) 'C is a String
 c.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
   Debug.Print c.Value & " is a " & TypeName(c.Value) 'C is still a String
 c.Value = CDate("03/04/2014")
   Debug.Print c.Value & " is a " & TypeName(c.Value) 'C is a date    
End Sub

How to return JSON data from spring Controller using @ResponseBody

How to include a Font Awesome icon in React's render()

npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

in index.js

import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css';

then use icons like below :

import React, { Component } from "react";

class Like extends Component {
  state = {};
  render() {
    return <i className="fas fa-heart"></i>;
  }
}

export default Like;

How do I use System.getProperty("line.separator").toString()?

I think your problem is that String.split() treats its argument as a regex, and regexes treat newlines specially. You may need to explicitly create a regex object to pass to split() (there is another overload of it) and configure that regex to allow newlines by passing MULTILINE in the flags param of Pattern.compile().

Javascript objects: get parent

I have been working on a solution to finding the parent object of the current object for my own pet project. Adding a reference to the parent object within the current object creates a cyclic relationship between the two objects.

Consider -

var obj = {
    innerObj: {},
    setParent: function(){
        this.innerObj.parent = this;
    }
};
obj.setParent();

The variable obj will now look like this -

obj.innerObj.parent.innerObj.parent.innerObj...

This is not good. The only solution that I have found so far is to create a function which iterates over all the properties of the outermost Object until a match is found for the current Object and then that Object is returned.

Example -

var obj = {
    innerObj: {
        innerInnerObj: {}
    }
};

var o = obj.innerObj.innerInnerObj,
    found = false;

var getParent = function (currObj, parObj) {
    for(var x in parObj){
        if(parObj.hasOwnProperty(x)){
            if(parObj[x] === currObj){
                found = parObj;
            }else if(typeof parObj[x] === 'object'){
                getParent(currObj, parObj[x]);
            }
        }
    }
    return found;
};

var res = getParent(o, obj); // res = obj.innerObj

Of course, without knowing or having a reference to the outermost object, there is no way to do this. This is not a practical nor is it an efficient solution. I am going to continue to work on this and hopefully find a good answer for this problem.

How to properly reference local resources in HTML?

  • A leading slash tells the browser to start at the root directory.
  • If you don't have the leading slash, you're referencing from the current directory.
  • If you add two dots before the leading slash, it means you're referencing the parent of the current directory.

Take the following folder structure

demo folder structure

notice:

  • the ROOT checkmark is green,
  • the second checkmark is orange,
  • the third checkmark is purple,
  • the forth checkmark is yellow

Now in the index.html.en file you'll want to put the following markup

<p>
    <span>src="check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm purple because I'm referenced from this current directory</span>
</p>

<p>
    <span>src="/check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="/check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm green because I'm referenced from the ROOT directory</span>
</p>

<p>
    <span>src="subfolder/check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="subfolder/check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm yellow because I'm referenced from the child of this current directory</span>
</p>

<p>
    <span>src="/subfolder/check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="/subfolder/check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm orange because I'm referenced from the child of the ROOT directory</span>
</p>

<p>
    <span>src="../subfolder/check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="../subfolder/check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm purple because I'm referenced from the parent of this current directory</span>
</p>

<p>
    <span>src="subfolder/subfolder/check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="subfolder/subfolder/check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm [broken] because there is no subfolder two children down from this current directory</span>
</p>

<p>
    <span>src="/subfolder/subfolder/check_mark.png"</span>
    <img src="/subfolder/subfolder/check_mark.png" />
    <span>I'm purple because I'm referenced two children down from the ROOT directory</span>
</p>

Now if you load up the index.html.en file located in the second subfolder
http://example.com/subfolder/subfolder/

This will be your output

How to select from subquery using Laravel Query Builder?

I like doing something like this:

Message::select('*')
->from(DB::raw("( SELECT * FROM `messages`
                  WHERE `to_id` = ".Auth::id()." AND `isseen` = 0
                  GROUP BY `from_id` asc) as `sub`"))
->count();

It's not very elegant, but it's simple.

How do I parse a string to a float or int?

Handles hex, octal, binary, decimal, and float

This solution will handle all of the string conventions for numbers (all that I know about).

def to_number(n):
    ''' Convert any number representation to a number 
    This covers: float, decimal, hex, and octal numbers.
    '''

    try:
        return int(str(n), 0)
    except:
        try:
            # python 3 doesn't accept "010" as a valid octal.  You must use the
            # '0o' prefix
            return int('0o' + n, 0)
        except:
            return float(n)

This test case output illustrates what I'm talking about.

Visual C++: How to disable specific linker warnings?

EDIT: don't use vc80 / Visual Studio 2005, but Visual Studio 2008 / vc90 versions of the CGAL library (maybe from here).

Linker Tools Warning LNK4099:

You could also compile with /Z7, so the pdb doesn't need to be used, or remove the /DEBUG linker option if you do not have .pdb files for the objects you are linking.

Fastest way to list all primes below N

I'm slow responding to this question but it seemed like a fun exercise. I'm using numpy which might be cheating and I doubt this method is the fastest but it should be clear. It sieves a Boolean array referring to its indices only and elicits prime numbers from the indices of all True values. No modulo needed.

import numpy as np
def ajs_primes3a(upto):
    mat = np.ones((upto), dtype=bool)
    mat[0] = False
    mat[1] = False
    mat[4::2] = False
    for idx in range(3, int(upto ** 0.5)+1, 2):
        mat[idx*2::idx] = False
    return np.where(mat == True)[0]

Parse String date in (yyyy-MM-dd) format

You may need to format the out put as follows.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date convertedCurrentDate = sdf.parse("2013-09-18");
String date=sdf.format(convertedCurrentDate );
System.out.println(date);

Use

String convertedCurrentDate =sdf.format(sdf.parse("2013-09-18"));

Output:

2013-09-18

How do you deploy Angular apps?

You get the smallest and quickest loading production bundle by compiling with the Ahead of Time compiler, and tree-shake/minify with rollup as shown in the angular AOT cookbook here: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/aot-compiler.html

This is also available with the Angular-CLI as said in previous answers, but if you haven't made your app using the CLI you should follow the cookbook.

I also have a working example with materials and SVG charts (backed by Angular2) that it includes a bundle created with the AOT cookbook. You also find all the config and scripts needed to create the bundle. Check it out here: https://github.com/fintechneo/angular2-templates/

I made a quick video demonstrating the difference between number of files and size of an AoT compiled build vs a development environment. It shows the project from the github repository above. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/ZoZDCgQwnmQ

How do I install a module globally using npm?

I like using a package.json file in the root of your app folder.

Here is one I use

nvm use v0.6.4

Programmatically shut down Spring Boot application

In the application you can use SpringApplication. This has a static exit() method that takes two arguments: the ApplicationContext and an ExitCodeGenerator:

i.e. you can declare this method:

@Autowired
public void shutDown(ExecutorServiceExitCodeGenerator exitCodeGenerator) {
    SpringApplication.exit(applicationContext, exitCodeGenerator);
}

Inside the Integration tests you can achieved it by adding @DirtiesContext annotation at class level:

  • @DirtiesContext(classMode=ClassMode.AFTER_CLASS) - The associated ApplicationContext will be marked as dirty after the test class.
  • @DirtiesContext(classMode=ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD) - The associated ApplicationContext will be marked as dirty after each test method in the class.

i.e.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = {Application.class},
    webEnvironment= SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT, properties = {"server.port:0"})
@DirtiesContext(classMode= DirtiesContext.ClassMode.AFTER_CLASS)
public class ApplicationIT {

Best way to store chat messages in a database?

You could create a database for x conversations which contains all messages of these conversations. This would allow you to add a new Database (or server) each time x exceeds. X is the number conversations your infrastructure supports (depending on your hardware,...).

The problem is still, that there may be big conversations (with a lot of messages) on the same database. e.g. you have database A and database B an each stores e.g. 1000 conversations. It my be possible that there are far more "big" conversations on server A than on server B (since this is user created content). You could add a "master" database that contains a lookup, on which database/server the single conversations can be found (or you have a schema to assign a database from hash/modulo or something).

Maybe you can find real world architectures that deal with the same problems (you may not be the first one), and that have already been solved.

How to use table variable in a dynamic sql statement?

Well, I figured out the way and thought to share with the people out there who might run into the same problem.

Let me start with the problem I had been facing,

I had been trying to execute a Dynamic Sql Statement that used two temporary tables I declared at the top of my stored procedure, but because that dynamic sql statment created a new scope, I couldn't use the temporary tables.

Solution:

I simply changed them to Global Temporary Variables and they worked.

Find my stored procedure underneath.

CREATE PROCEDURE RAFCustom_Room_GetRelatedProducts
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@PRODUCT_SKU nvarchar(15) = Null

AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON;

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##RelPro', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    DROP TABLE ##RelPro
END

Create Table ##RelPro
(
    RowID int identity(1,1),
    ID int,
    Item_Name nvarchar(max),
    SKU nvarchar(max),
    Vendor nvarchar(max),
    Product_Img_180 nvarchar(max),
    rpGroup int,
    Assoc_Item_1 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_2 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_3 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_4 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_5 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_6 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_7 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_8 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_9 nvarchar(max),
    Assoc_Item_10 nvarchar(max)
);

Begin
    Insert ##RelPro(ID, Item_Name, SKU, Vendor, Product_Img_180, rpGroup)

    Select distinct zp.ProductID, zp.Name, zp.SKU,
        (Select m.Name From ZNodeManufacturer m(nolock) Where m.ManufacturerID = zp.ManufacturerID),
        'http://s0001.server.com/is/sw11/DG/' + 
        (Select m.Custom1 From ZNodeManufacturer m(nolock) Where m.ManufacturerID = zp.ManufacturerID) +
        '_' + zp.SKU + '_3?$SC_3243$', ep.RoomID
    From Product zp(nolock) Inner Join RF_ExtendedProduct ep(nolock) On ep.ProductID = zp.ProductID
    Where zp.ActiveInd = 1 And SUBSTRING(zp.SKU, 1, 2) <> 'GC' AND zp.Name <> 'PLATINUM' AND zp.SKU = (Case When @PRODUCT_SKU Is Not Null Then @PRODUCT_SKU Else zp.SKU End)
End

declare @curr_row int = 0,
        @tot_rows int= 0,
        @sku nvarchar(15) = null;

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##TSku', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    DROP TABLE ##TSku
END
Create Table ##TSku (tid int identity(1,1), relsku nvarchar(15));

Select @curr_row = (Select MIN(RowId) From ##RelPro);
Select @tot_rows = (Select MAX(RowId) From ##RelPro);

while @curr_row <= @tot_rows
Begin
    select @sku = SKU from ##RelPro where RowID = @curr_row;

    truncate table ##TSku;

    Insert ##TSku(relsku)
    Select distinct top(10) tzp.SKU From Product tzp(nolock) INNER JOIN 
    [INTRANET].raf_FocusAssociatedItem assoc(nolock) ON assoc.associatedItemID = tzp.SKU
    Where (assoc.isActive=1) And (tzp.ActiveInd = 1) AND (assoc.productID = @sku)

    declare @curr_row1 int = (Select Min(tid) From ##TSku),
            @tot_rows1 int = (Select Max(tid) From ##TSku);

    If(@tot_rows1 <> 0)
    Begin
        While @curr_row1 <= @tot_rows1
        Begin
            declare @col_name nvarchar(15) = null,
                    @sqlstat nvarchar(500) = null;
            set @col_name =  'Assoc_Item_' + Convert(nvarchar(2), @curr_row1);
            set @sqlstat = 'update ##RelPro set ' + @col_name + ' = (Select relsku From ##TSku Where tid = ' + Convert(nvarchar(2), @curr_row1) + ') Where RowID = ' + Convert(nvarchar(2), @curr_row);
            Exec(@sqlstat);
            set @curr_row1 = @curr_row1 + 1;
        End
    End
    set @curr_row = @curr_row + 1;
End

Select * From ##RelPro;

END GO

Printing column separated by comma using Awk command line

What is the difference between single-quoted and double-quoted strings in PHP?

Example of single, double, heredoc, and nowdoc quotes

<?php

    $fname = "David";

    // Single quotes
    echo 'My name is $fname.'; // My name is $fname.

    // Double quotes
    echo "My name is $fname."; // My name is David.

    // Curly braces to isolate the name of the variable
    echo "My name is {$fname}."; // My name is David.

    // Example of heredoc
    echo $foo = <<<abc
    My name is {$fname}
    abc;

        // Example of nowdoc
        echo <<< 'abc'
        My name is "$name".
        Now, I am printing some
    abc;

How can I bind a background color in WPF/XAML?

I recommend reading the following blog post about debugging data binding: http://beacosta.com/blog/?p=52

And for this concrete issue: If you look at the compiler warnings, you will notice that you property has been hiding the Window.Background property (or Control or whatever class the property defines).

Using group by on multiple columns

In simple English from GROUP BY with two parameters what we are doing is looking for similar value pairs and get the count to a 3rd column.

Cannot open include file with Visual Studio

I found this post because I was having the same error in Microsoft Visual C++. (Though it seems it's cause was a little different, than the above posted question.)

I had placed the file, I was trying to include, in the same directory, but it still could not be found.

My include looked like this: #include <ftdi.h>

But When I changed it to this: #include "ftdi.h" then it found it.

Why does writeObject throw java.io.NotSerializableException and how do I fix it?

The fields of your object have in turn their fields, some of which do not implement Serializable. In your case the offending class is TransformGroup. How to solve it?

  • if the class is yours, make it Serializable
  • if the class is 3rd party, but you don't need it in the serialized form, mark the field as transient
  • if you need its data and it's third party, consider other means of serialization, like JSON, XML, BSON, MessagePack, etc. where you can get 3rd party objects serialized without modifying their definitions.

Is there a command to undo git init?

I'm running Windows 7 with git bash console. The above commands wouldn't work for me.

So I did it via Windows Explorer. I checked show hidden files, went to my projects directory and manually deleted the .git folder. Then back in the command line I checked by running git status.

Which returned...

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Which is exactly the result I wanted. It returned that the directory is not a git repository (anymore!).

Do something if screen width is less than 960 px

nope, none of this will work. What you need is this!!!

Try this:

if (screen.width <= 960) {
  alert('Less than 960');
} else if (screen.width >960) {
  alert('More than 960');
}

Netbeans how to set command line arguments in Java

If it's a Maven project then Netbeans is running your application using the exec-maven-plugin so you'll need to append your options onto the existing exec.args property found in the Run Maven dialog. This dialog can be accessed from the the Output window by pressing the yellow double arrow icon.

1030 Got error 28 from storage engine

I had a similar issue, because of my replication binary logs.

If this is the case, just create a cronjob to run this query every day:

PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE DATE_SUB( NOW(), INTERVAL 2 DAY );

This will remove all binary logs older than 2 days.

I found this solution here.

Add and remove attribute with jquery

It's because you've removed the id which is how you're finding the element. This line of code is trying to add id="page_navigation1" to an element with the id named page_navigation1, but it doesn't exist (because you deleted the attribute):

$("#page_navigation1").attr("id","page_navigation1");

Demo: jsFiddle

If you want to add and remove a class that makes your <div> red use:

$( '#page_navigation1' ).addClass( 'red-class' );

And:

$( '#page_navigation1' ).removeClass( 'red-class' );

Where red-class is:

.red-class {
    background-color: red;
}

anchor jumping by using javascript

Because when you do

window.location.href = "#"+anchor;

You load a new page, you can do:

<a href="#" onclick="jumpTo('one');">One</a>
<a href="#" id="one"></a>

<script>

    function getPosition(element){
        var e = document.getElementById(element);
        var left = 0;
        var top = 0;

        do{
            left += e.offsetLeft;
            top += e.offsetTop;
        }while(e = e.offsetParent);

        return [left, top];
    }

    function jumpTo(id){    
        window.scrollTo(getPosition(id));
    }

</script>

row-level trigger vs statement-level trigger

The main difference is not what can be modified by the trigger, that depends on the DBMS. A trigger (row or statement level) may modify one or many rows*, of the same or other tables as well and may have cascading effects (trigger other actions/triggers) but all these depend on the DBMS of course.

The main difference is how many times the trigger is activated. Imagine you have a 1M rows table and you run:

UPDATE t
SET columnX = columnX + 1

A statement-level trigger will be activated once (and even if no rows are updated). A row-level trigger will be activated a million times, once for every updated row.


Another difference is the order or activation. For example in Oracle the 4 different types of triggers will be activated in the following order:

Before the triggering statement executes
Before each row that the triggering statement affects
After each row that the triggering statement affects
After the triggering statement executes

In the previous example, we'd have something like:

Before statement-level trigger executes

  Before row-level trigger executes
  One row is updated
  After row-level trigger executes

  Before row-level trigger executes
  Second row is updated
  After row-level trigger executes

  ...

  Before row-level trigger executes
  Millionth row is updated
  After row-level trigger executes

After statement-level trigger executes

Addendum

* Regarding what rows can be modified by a trigger: Different DBMS have different limitations on this, depending on the specific implementation or triggers in the DBMS. For example, Oracle may show a "mutating table" errors for some cases, e.g. when a row-level trigger selects from the whole table (SELECT MAX(col) FROM tablename) or if it modifies other rows or the whole table and not only the row that is related to / triggered from.

It is perfectly valid of course for a row-level trigger (in Oracle or other) to modify the row that its change has triggered it and that is a very common use. Example in dbfiddle.uk.

Other DBMS may have different limitations on what any type of trigger can do and even what type of triggers are offered (some do not have BEFORE triggers for example, some do not have statement level triggers at all, etc).

if it still didnt work

2) export the project and delete the project create the project with same name and import the project and add the project to server and run.

How to copy directories with spaces in the name

There is a bug in robocopy in interpreting the source name. If you include a back slash at the end of the path to describe a folder it keeps including the string for the source into the rest of the line. ie

robocopy "C:\back up\" %destination% /e Nothing here will go to the destination string

robocopy "C:\back up" %destination% /e but this works

I may be wrong but I think both should work!

How to write to a JSON file in the correct format

With formatting

require 'json'
tempHash = {
    "key_a" => "val_a",
    "key_b" => "val_b"
}
File.open("public/temp.json","w") do |f|
  f.write(JSON.pretty_generate(tempHash))
end

Output

{
    "key_a":"val_a",
    "key_b":"val_b"
}

Is it possible to register a http+domain-based URL Scheme for iPhone apps, like YouTube and Maps?

Check the User-Agent and in case it's Mobile Safari, open a myprotocol:// URL to (attempt) to open the iPhone app and have it open Mobile iTunes to the download of the app in case the attempt fails

This sounds a reasonable approach to me, but I don't think you'll be able to get it to open mobile itunes as a second resort. I think you'll have to pick one or the other - either redirect to your app or to itunes.

i.e. if you redirect to myprotocol://, and the app isn't on the phone, you won't get a second chance to redirect to itunes.

You could perhaps first redirect to an (iphone optimised) landing page and give the user the option to click through to your app, or to itunes to get the app if they don't have it? But, you'll be relying on the user to do the right thing there. (Edit: though you could set a cookie so that is a first-time thing only?)

How to install and run Typescript locally in npm?

As of npm 5.2.0, once you've installed locally via

npm i typescript --save-dev

...you no longer need an entry in the scripts section of package.json -- you can now run the compiler with npx:

npx tsc

Now you don't have to update your package.json file every time you want to compile with different arguments.

Inverse of matrix in R

solve(c) does give the correct inverse. The issue with your code is that you are using the wrong operator for matrix multiplication. You should use solve(c) %*% c to invoke matrix multiplication in R.

R performs element by element multiplication when you invoke solve(c) * c.

How to set ID using javascript?

Do you mean like this?

var hello1 = document.getElementById('hello1');
hello1.id = btoa(hello1.id);

To further the example, say you wanted to get all elements with the class 'abc'. We can use querySelectorAll() to accomplish this:

HTML

<div class="abc"></div>
<div class="abc"></div>

JS

var abcElements = document.querySelectorAll('.abc');

// Set their ids
for (var i = 0; i < abcElements.length; i++)
    abcElements[i].id = 'abc-' + i;

This will assign the ID 'abc-<index number>' to each element. So it would come out like this:

<div class="abc" id="abc-0"></div>
<div class="abc" id="abc-1"></div>

To create an element and assign an id we can use document.createElement() and then appendChild().

var div = document.createElement('div');
div.id = 'hello1';

var body = document.querySelector('body');
body.appendChild(div);

Update

You can set the id on your element like this if your script is in your HTML file.

<input id="{{str(product["avt"]["fto"])}}" >
<span>New price :</span>
<span class="assign-me">

<script type="text/javascript">
    var s = document.getElementsByClassName('assign-me')[0];
    s.id = btoa({{str(produit["avt"]["fto"])}});
</script>

Your requirements still aren't 100% clear though.

How do you change Background for a Button MouseOver in WPF?

Just want to share my button style from my ResourceDictionary that i've been using. You can freely change the onHover background at the style triggers. "ColorAnimation To = *your desired BG(i.e #FFCEF7A0)". The button BG will also automatically revert to its original BG after the mouseOver state.You can even set how fast the transition.

Reading a json file in Android

Put that file in assets.

For project created in Android Studio project you need to create assets folder under the main folder.

Read that file as:

public String loadJSONFromAsset(Context context) {
        String json = null;
        try {
            InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("file_name.json");

            int size = is.available();

            byte[] buffer = new byte[size];

            is.read(buffer);

            is.close();

            json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");


        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
        return json;

    }

and then you can simply read this string return by this function as

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json_return_by_the_function);

For further details regarding JSON see http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidJSON/article.html

Hope you will get what you want.

How to remove blank lines from a Unix file

Regex number between 1 and 100

If one assumes he really needs regexp - which is perfectly reasonable in many contexts - the problem is that the specific regexp variety needs to be specified. For example:

egrep '^(100|[1-9]|[1-9][0-9])$'
grep -E '^(100|[1-9]|[1-9][0-9])$'

work fine if the (...|...) alternative syntax is available. In other contexts, they'd be backslashed like \(...\|...\)

Why isn't Python very good for functional programming?

The question you reference asks which languages promote both OO and functional programming. Python does not promote functional programming even though it works fairly well.

The best argument against functional programming in Python is that imperative/OO use cases are carefully considered by Guido, while functional programming use cases are not. When I write imperative Python, it's one of the prettiest languages I know. When I write functional Python, it becomes as ugly and unpleasant as your average language that doesn't have a BDFL.

Which is not to say that it's bad, just that you have to work harder than you would if you switched to a language that promotes functional programming or switched to writing OO Python.

Here are the functional things I miss in Python:


  • No pattern matching and no tail recursion mean your basic algorithms have to be written imperatively. Recursion is ugly and slow in Python.
  • A small list library and no functional dictionaries mean that you have to write a lot of stuff yourself.
  • No syntax for currying or composition means that point-free style is about as full of punctuation as explicitly passing arguments.
  • Iterators instead of lazy lists means that you have to know whether you want efficiency or persistence, and to scatter calls to list around if you want persistence. (Iterators are use-once)
  • Python's simple imperative syntax, along with its simple LL1 parser, mean that a better syntax for if-expressions and lambda-expressions is basically impossible. Guido likes it this way, and I think he's right.

Styling multi-line conditions in 'if' statements?

I suggest moving the and keyword to the second line and indenting all lines containing conditions with two spaces instead of four:

if (cond1 == 'val1' and cond2 == 'val2'
  and cond3 == 'val3' and cond4 == 'val4'):
    do_something

This is exactly how I solve this problem in my code. Having a keyword as the first word in the line makes the condition a lot more readable, and reducing the number of spaces further distinguishes condition from action.

Received an invalid column length from the bcp client for colid 6

I just stumbled upon this and using @b_stil's snippet, I was able to figure the culprit column. And on futher investigation, I figured i needed to trim the column just like @Liji Chandran suggested but I was using IExcelDataReader and I couldn't figure out an easy way to validate and trim each of my 160 columns.

Then I stumbled upon this class, (ValidatingDataReader) class from CSVReader.

Interesting thing about this class is that it gives you the source and destination columns data length, the culprit row and even the column value that's causing the error.

All I did was just trim all (nvarchar, varchar, char and nchar) columns.

I just changed my GetValue method to this:

 object IDataRecord.GetValue(int i)
    {
        object columnValue = reader.GetValue(i);

        if (i > -1 && i < lookup.Length)
        {
            DataRow columnDef = lookup[i];
            if
            (
                (

                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "nvarchar" ||
                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "char" ||
                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "nchar"
                ) &&
                (
                    columnValue != null &&
                    columnValue != DBNull.Value
                )
            )
            {
                string stringValue = columnValue.ToString().Trim();

                columnValue = stringValue;


                if (stringValue.Length > (int)columnDef["ColumnSize"])
                {
                    string message =
                        "Column value \"" + stringValue.Replace("\"", "\\\"") + "\"" +
                        " with length " + stringValue.Length.ToString("###,##0") +
                        " from source column " + (this as IDataRecord).GetName(i) +

                    if (ColumnException == null)
                    {

How to return HTTP 500 from ASP.NET Core RC2 Web Api?

When you want to return a JSON response in MVC .Net Core You can also use:

Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError;//Equals to HTTPResponse 500
return Json(new { responseText = "my error" });

This will return both JSON result and HTTPStatus. I use it for returning results to jQuery.ajax().

Add custom message to thrown exception while maintaining stack trace in Java

bash string equality

There's no difference, == is a synonym for = (for the C/C++ people, I assume). See here, for example.

You could double-check just to be really sure or just for your interest by looking at the bash source code, should be somewhere in the parsing code there, but I couldn't find it straightaway.

C# string replace

Use:

line.Replace(@""",""", ";");

How to prevent ENTER keypress to submit a web form?

Another approach is to append the submit input button to the form only when it is supposed to be submited and replace it by a simple div during the form filling

Giving multiple URL patterns to Servlet Filter

If an URL pattern starts with /, then it's relative to the context root. The /Admin/* URL pattern would only match pages on http://localhost:8080/EMS2/Admin/* (assuming that /EMS2 is the context path), but you have them actually on http://localhost:8080/EMS2/faces/Html/Admin/*, so your URL pattern never matches.

You need to prefix your URL patterns with /faces/Html as well like so:

<url-pattern>/faces/Html/Admin/*</url-pattern>

You can alternatively also just reconfigure your web project structure/configuration so that you can get rid of the /faces/Html path in the URLs so that you can just open the page by for example http://localhost:8080/EMS2/Admin/Upload.xhtml.

Your filter mapping syntax is all fine. However, a simpler way to specify multiple URL patterns is to just use only one <filter-mapping> with multiple <url-pattern> entries:

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>LoginFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/Html/Employee/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/faces/Html/Admin/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/faces/Html/Supervisor/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd1 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

it works with flask too :)

Alphabet range in Python

Print the Upper and Lower case alphabets in python using a built-in range function

        print(chr(i), end=" ")

upperCaseAlphabets();
lowerCaseAlphabets();

Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in

SSL Proxy/Charles and Android trouble

I figured the issue. Its because Charles 3.7 has some bugs for Android devices. I updated to Charles 3.8 Beta version and seems to working fine for me.

AngularJS - difference between pristine/dirty and touched/untouched

In Pro Angular-6 book is detailed as below;

  • valid: This property returns true if the element’s contents are valid and false otherwise.
  • invalid: This property returns true if the element’s contents are invalid and false otherwise.

  • pristine: This property returns true if the element’s contents have not been changed.

  • dirty: This property returns true if the element’s contents have been changed.
  • untouched: This property returns true if the user has not visited the element.
  • touched: This property returns true if the user has visited the element.

Converting byte array to String (Java)

You can try this.

String s = new String(bytearray);

jQuery - on change input text

This works for me on all browsers and Jquery <= v1.10

$('#kat').on('keyup', function () {
    alert("Hello");
});

or as it seems you want

$('#kat').on('click', function () {
    alert("Hello");
});

Textbox input field change event fires as you would expect it to, the jQuery .Change event only works correctly on html5 supported browsers

How to extract the nth word and count word occurrences in a MySQL string?

I don't think such a thing is possible. You can use SUBSTRING function to extract the part you want.

What's the difference between size_t and int in C++?

size_t is the type used to represent sizes (as its names implies). Its platform (and even potentially implementation) dependent, and should be used only for this purpose. Obviously, representing a size, size_t is unsigned. Many stdlib functions, including malloc, sizeof and various string operation functions use size_t as a datatype.

An int is signed by default, and even though its size is also platform dependant, it will be a fixed 32bits on most modern machine (and though size_t is 64 bits on 64-bits architecture, int remain 32bits long on those architectures).

To summarize : use size_t to represent the size of an object and int (or long) in other cases.

WCF Exception: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint

In my case the binding name in under protocol mapping did not match the binding name on the endpoint. They match in the example below.

<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpsBinding" contract="serviceName" />

and

    <protocolMapping>
        <add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
    </protocolMapping>    

Android canvas draw rectangle

Create a new class MyView, Which extends View. Override the onDraw(Canvas canvas) method to draw rectangle on Canvas.

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;

public class MyView extends View {

 Paint paint;
 Path path;

 public MyView(Context context) {
  super(context);
  init();
 }

 public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
  super(context, attrs);
  init();
 }

 public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
  super(context, attrs, defStyle);
  init();
 }

 private void init(){
  paint = new Paint();
  paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
  paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
  paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);

 }

 @Override
 protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  super.onDraw(canvas);

  canvas.drawRect(30, 50, 200, 350, paint);
  canvas.drawRect(100, 100, 300, 400, paint);
  //drawRect(left, top, right, bottom, paint)

 }

}

Then Move your Java activity to setContentView() using our custom View, MyView.Call this way.

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(new MyView(this));
  }

using c# .net libraries to check for IMAP messages from gmail servers

There is no .NET framework support for IMAP. You'll need to use some 3rd party component.

Try Mail.dll email component, it's very affordable and easy to use, it also supports SSL:

using(Imap imap = new Imap())
{
    imap.ConnectSSL("imap.company.com");
    imap.Login("user", "password");

    imap.SelectInbox();
    List<long> uids = imap.Search(Flag.Unseen);
    foreach (long uid in uids)
    {
        string eml = imap.GetMessageByUID(uid);
        IMail message = new MailBuilder()
            .CreateFromEml(eml);

        Console.WriteLine(message.Subject);
        Console.WriteLine(message.Text);
    }
    imap.Close(true);
}

null vs empty string in Oracle

This is because Oracle internally changes empty string to NULL values. Oracle simply won't let insert an empty string.

On the other hand, SQL Server would let you do what you are trying to achieve.

There are 2 workarounds here:

  1. Use another column that states whether the 'description' field is valid or not
  2. Use some dummy value for the 'description' field where you want it to store empty string. (i.e. set the field to be 'stackoverflowrocks' assuming your real data will never encounter such a description value)

Both are, of course, stupid workarounds :)

How can I quickly delete a line in VIM starting at the cursor position?

This is a very old question, but as VIM is still relevant something should be clarified.

Every answer and comment here as of October 2018 has referred to what would commonly be known as a "cut" action, thus using any of them will replace whatever is currently in VIM's unnamed register. This register tends to be treated like a default copy/paste clipboard, so none of these answers will work as desired if you are deleting the rest of a line to paste something in the same place afterward, as whatever was just deleted will be subsequently pasted in place of whatever was yanked before.

The true delete command in the OP's context is "_D (or "_C if insert mode is desired) This sends the deleted content into the black hole register, designated by "_, where it will bother no one ever again (although you can still undo this action using u).

That being said, whatever was last yanked is stored in the 0 register, and even if it gets replaced in the unnamed register, it can still be pasted using "0p.

Learn more about the black hole register and registers in general for extra VIM fun!

subsampling every nth entry in a numpy array

You can use numpy's slicing, simply start:stop:step.

>>> xs
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> xs[1::4]
array([2, 2, 2])

This creates a view of the the original data, so it's constant time. It'll also reflect changes to the original array and keep the whole original array in memory:

>>> a
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> b = a[::2]         # O(1), constant time
>>> b[:] = 0           # modifying the view changes original array
>>> a                  # original array is modified
array([0, 2, 0, 4, 0])

so if either of the above things are a problem, you can make a copy explicitly:

>>> a
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> b = a[::2].copy()  # explicit copy, O(n)
>>> b[:] = 0           # modifying the copy
>>> a                  # original is intact
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

This isn't constant time, but the result isn't tied to the original array. The copy also contiguous in memory, which can make some operations on it faster.

jQuery UI Sortable, then write order into a database

This is my example.

https://github.com/luisnicg/jQuery-Sortable-and-PHP

You need to catch the order in the update event

    $( "#sortable" ).sortable({
    placeholder: "ui-state-highlight",
    update: function( event, ui ) {
        var sorted = $( "#sortable" ).sortable( "serialize", { key: "sort" } );
        $.post( "form/order.php",{ 'choices[]': sorted});
    }
});

How does the modulus operator work?

It gives you the remainder of a division.

int c=11, d=5;
cout << (c/d) * d + c % d; // gives you the value of c

Switching the order of block elements with CSS

As has already been suggested, Flexbox is the answer - particularly because you only need to support a single modern browser: Mobile Safari.

See: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/hLUHL/

You can remove the -moz- prefixed properties if you like, I just left them in for future readers.

Wildcards in a Windows hosts file

I could not find a prohibition in writing, but by convention, the Windows hosts file closely follows the UNIX hosts file, and you cannot put wildcard hostname references into that file.

If you read the man page, it says:

DESCRIPTION
     The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the net-
     work.  For each host a single line should be present with the following
     information:

           Internet address
           Official host name
           Aliases

Although it does say,

     Host names may contain any printable character other than a field delim-
     iter, newline, or comment character.

that is not true from a practical level.

Basically, the code that looks at the /etc/hosts file does not support a wildcard entry.

The workaround is to create all the entries in advance, maybe use a script to put a couple hundred entries at once.

SELECT INTO USING UNION QUERY

You can also try:

create table new_table as
select * from table1
union
select * from table2

gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi command not found

If you are on a 64bit build of ubuntu or debian (see e.g. 'cat /proc/version') you should simply use the 64bit cross compilers, if you cloned

git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools

then the 64bit tools are in

tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64

use that directory for the gcc-toolchain. A useful tutorial for compiling that I followed is available here Building and compiling Raspberry PI Kernel (use the -x64 path from above as ${CCPREFIX})

SQL Inner Join On Null Values

I'm pretty sure that the join doesn't even do what you want. If there are 100 records in table a with a null qid and 100 records in table b with a null qid, then the join as written should make a cross join and give 10,000 results for those records. If you look at the following code and run the examples, I think that the last one is probably more the result set you intended:

create table #test1 (id int identity, qid int)
create table #test2 (id int identity, qid int)

Insert #test1 (qid)
select null
union all
select null
union all
select 1
union all
select 2
union all
select null

Insert #test2 (qid)
select null
union all
select null
union all
select 1
union all
select 3
union all
select null


select * from #test2 t2
join #test1 t1 on t2.qid = t1.qid

select * from #test2 t2
join #test1 t1 on isnull(t2.qid, 0) = isnull(t1.qid, 0)


select * from #test2 t2
join #test1 t1 on 
 t1.qid = t2.qid OR ( t1.qid IS NULL AND t2.qid IS NULL )


select t2.id, t2.qid, t1.id, t1.qid from #test2 t2
join #test1 t1 on t2.qid = t1.qid
union all
select null, null,id, qid from #test1 where qid is null
union all
select id, qid, null, null from #test2  where qid is null

How to trust a apt repository : Debian apt-get update error public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY <id>

I had the same problem of "gpg: keyserver timed out" with a couple of different servers. Finally, it turned out that I didn't need to do that manually at all. On a Debian system, the simple solution which fixed it was just (as root or precede with sudo):

aptitude install debian-archive-keyring

In case it is some other keyring you need, check out

apt-cache search keyring | grep debian

My squeeze system shows all these:

debian-archive-keyring       - GnuPG archive keys of the Debian archive
debian-edu-archive-keyring   - GnuPG archive keys of the Debian Edu archive
debian-keyring               - GnuPG keys of Debian Developers
debian-ports-archive-keyring - GnuPG archive keys of the debian-ports archive
emdebian-archive-keyring     - GnuPG archive keys for the emdebian repository

How to view DB2 Table structure

HTML combo box with option to type an entry

My solution is very simple, looks exactly like a native editable combobox and yet works even in IE6 (some answers here require a lot of code or external libraries and the result is so so, e.g. the text in the textbox goes behind the dropdown icon of the combobox' part or it doesn't look like an editable combobox at all).

The point is to clip the combobox only the dropdown icon to be visible above the textbox. And the textbox is wide a bit underneath the combobox' part, so you don't see its right end - visually continues with the combobox: https://jsfiddle.net/dLsx0c5y/2/

select#programmoduleselect
{
    clip: rect(auto auto auto 331px);
    width: 351px;
    height: 23px;
    z-index: 101; 
    position: absolute;
}

input#programmodule
{
    width: 328px;
    height: 17px;
}

<table><tr>
<th>Programm / Modul:</th>
<td>
    <select id="programmoduleselect"
        onchange="var textbox = document.getElementById('programmodule'); textbox.value = (this.selectedIndex == -1 ? '' : this.options[this.selectedIndex].value); textbox.select(); fireEvent2(textbox, 'change');"
        onclick="this.selectedIndex = -1;">
        <option value=RFEM>RFEM</option>
        <option value=RSTAB>RSTAB</option>
        <option value=STAHL>STAHL</option>
        <option value=BETON>BETON</option>
        <option value=BGDK>BGDK</option>
    </select>
    <input name="programmodule" id="programmodule" value="" autocomplete="off"
        onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) return false;" />
</td>
</tr></table>

(Used originally e.g. here, but don't send the form: old.dlubal.com/WishedFeatures.aspx )

EDIT: The styles need to be a bit different for macOS: Ch is ok, for FF increase the combobox' height, Safari and Opera ignore the combobox' height so increase their font size (has an upper limit, so then decrease the textbox' height a bit): https://i.stack.imgur.com/efQ9i.png

Implementing INotifyPropertyChanged - does a better way exist?

There's also Fody which has a PropertyChanged add-in, which lets you write this:

[ImplementPropertyChanged]
public class Person 
{        
    public string GivenNames { get; set; }
    public string FamilyName { get; set; }
}

...and at compile time injects property changed notifications.

Store images in a MongoDB database

install below libraries

var express = require(‘express’);
var fs = require(‘fs’);
var mongoose = require(‘mongoose’);
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var multer = require('multer');

connect ur mongo db :

mongoose.connect(‘url_here’);

Define database Schema

var Item = new ItemSchema({ 
    img: { 
       data: Buffer, 
       contentType: String 
    }
 }
);
var Item = mongoose.model('Clothes',ItemSchema);

using the middleware Multer to upload the photo on the server side.

app.use(multer({ dest: ‘./uploads/’,
  rename: function (fieldname, filename) {
    return filename;
  },
}));

post req to our db

app.post(‘/api/photo’,function(req,res){
  var newItem = new Item();
  newItem.img.data = fs.readFileSync(req.files.userPhoto.path)
  newItem.img.contentType = ‘image/png’;
  newItem.save();
});

How to change dot size in gnuplot

The pointsize command scales the size of points, but does not affect the size of dots.

In other words, plot ... with points ps 2 will generate points of twice the normal size, but for plot ... with dots ps 2 the "ps 2" part is ignored.

You could use circular points (pt 7), which look just like dots.

SQL Query - Change date format in query to DD/MM/YYYY

If you have a Date (or Datetime) column, look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format

 SELECT DATE_FORMAT(datecolumn,'%d/%m/%Y') FROM ...

Should do the job for MySQL, for SqlServer I'm sure there is an analog function. If you have a VARCHAR column, you might have at first to convert it to a date, see STR_TO_DATE for MySQL.

Enable CORS in fetch api

Browser have cross domain security at client side which verify that server allowed to fetch data from your domain. If Access-Control-Allow-Origin not available in response header, browser disallow to use response in your JavaScript code and throw exception at network level. You need to configure cors at your server side.

You can fetch request using mode: 'cors'. In this situation browser will not throw execption for cross domain, but browser will not give response in your javascript function.

So in both condition you need to configure cors in your server or you need to use custom proxy server.

Database cluster and load balancing

Database clustering is a bit of an ambiguous term, some vendors consider a cluster having two or more servers share the same storage, some others call a cluster a set of replicated servers.

Replication defines the method by which a set of servers remain synchronized without having to share the storage being able to be geographically disperse, there are two main ways of going about it:

  • master-master (or multi-master) replication: Any server can update the database. It is usually taken care of by a different module within the database (or a whole different software running on top of them in some cases).

    Downside is that it is very hard to do well, and some systems lose ACID properties when in this mode of replication.

    Upside is that it is flexible and you can support the failure of any server while still having the database updated.

  • master-slave replication: There is only a single copy of authoritative data, which is the pushed to the slave servers.

    Downside is that it is less fault tolerant, if the master dies, there are no further changes in the slaves.

    Upside is that it is easier to do than multi-master and it usually preserve ACID properties.

Load balancing is a different concept, it consists distributing the queries sent to those servers so the load is as evenly distributed as possible. It is usually done at the application layer (or with a connection pool). The only direct relation between replication and load balancing is that you need some replication to be able to load balance, else you'd have a single server.

Use find command but exclude files in two directories

Try something like

find . \( -type f -name \*_peaks.bed -print \) -or \( -type d -and \( -name tmp -or -name scripts \) -and -prune \)

and don't be too surprised if I got it a bit wrong. If the goal is an exec (instead of print), just substitute it in place.

jQuery: Scroll down page a set increment (in pixels) on click?

Updated version of HCD's solution which avoids conflict:

var y = $j(window).scrollTop(); 
$j("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: y + $j(window).height() }, 600);

What do .c and .h file extensions mean to C?

The .c files are source files which will be compiled. The .h files are used to expose the API of a program to either other part of that program or other program is you are creating a library.

For example, the program PizzaDelivery could have 1 .c file with the main program, and 1 .c file with utility functions. Now, for the main part of the program to be able to use the utility functions, you need to expose the API, via function prototype, into a .h file, this .h file being included by the main .c file.

invalid use of non-static member function

The simplest fix is to make the comparator function be static:

static int comparator (const Bar & first, const Bar & second);
^^^^^^

When invoking it in Count, its name will be Foo::comparator.

The way you have it now, it does not make sense to be a non-static member function because it does not use any member variables of Foo.

Another option is to make it a non-member function, especially if it makes sense that this comparator might be used by other code besides just Foo.

Why is MySQL InnoDB insert so slow?

This is an old topic but frequently searched. So long as you are aware of risks (as stated by @philip Koshy above) of losing committed transactions in the last one second or so, before massive updates, you may set these global parameters

innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0
sync_binlog=0

then turn then back on (if so desired) after update is complete.

innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
sync_binlog=1

for full ACID compliance.

There is a huge difference in write/update performance when both of these are turned off and on. In my experience, other stuff discussed above makes some difference but only marginal.

One other thing that impacts update/insert greatly is full text index. In one case, a table with two text fields having full text index, inserting 2mil rows took 6 hours and the same took only 10 min after full text index was removed. More indexes, more time. So search indexes other than unique and primary key may be removed prior to massive inserts/updates.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
// get curl response
curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);

Java getHours(), getMinutes() and getSeconds()

For a time difference, note that the calendar starts at 01.01.1970, 01:00, not at 00:00. If you're using java.util.Date and java.text.SimpleDateFormat, you will have to compensate for 1 hour:

long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
long end = start + (1*3600 + 23*60 + 45) * 1000 + 678; // 1 h 23 min 45.678 s
Date timeDiff = new Date(end - start - 3600000); // compensate for 1h in millis
SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm:ss.SSS");
System.out.println("Duration: " + timeFormat.format(timeDiff));

This will print:

Duration: 1:23:45.678

$(document).on('click', '#id', function() {}) vs $('#id').on('click', function(){})

The first example demonstrates event delegation. The event handler is bound to an element higher up the DOM tree (in this case, the document) and will be executed when an event reaches that element having originated on an element matching the selector.

This is possible because most DOM events bubble up the tree from the point of origin. If you click on the #id element, a click event is generated that will bubble up through all of the ancestor elements (side note: there is actually a phase before this, called the 'capture phase', when the event comes down the tree to the target). You can capture the event on any of those ancestors.

The second example binds the event handler directly to the element. The event will still bubble (unless you prevent that in the handler) but since the handler is bound to the target, you won't see the effects of this process.

By delegating an event handler, you can ensure it is executed for elements that did not exist in the DOM at the time of binding. If your #id element was created after your second example, your handler would never execute. By binding to an element that you know is definitely in the DOM at the time of execution, you ensure that your handler will actually be attached to something and can be executed as appropriate later on.

Delete all rows in table

Truncate table is faster than delete * from XXX. Delete is slow because it works one row at a time. There are a few situations where truncate doesn't work, which you can read about on MSDN.

How to do a subquery in LINQ?

Here's a subquery for you!

List<int> IdsToFind = new List<int>() {2, 3, 4};

db.Users
.Where(u => SqlMethods.Like(u.LastName, "%fra%"))
.Where(u =>
    db.CompanyRolesToUsers
    .Where(crtu => IdsToFind.Contains(crtu.CompanyRoleId))
    .Select(crtu =>  crtu.UserId)
    .Contains(u.Id)
)

Regarding this portion of the question:

predicateAnd = predicateAnd.And(c => c.LastName.Contains(
                                TextBoxLastName.Text.Trim()));

I strongly recommend extracting the string from the textbox before authoring the query.

string searchString = TextBoxLastName.Text.Trim();
predicateAnd = predicateAnd.And(c => c.LastName.Contains( searchString));

You want to maintain good control over what gets sent to the database. In the original code, one possible reading is that an untrimmed string gets sent into the database for trimming - which is not good work for the database to be doing.

Difference between "this" and"super" keywords in Java

super() & this()

  • super() - to call parent class constructor.
  • this() - to call same class constructor.

NOTE:

  • We can use super() and this() only in constructor not anywhere else, any attempt to do so will lead to compile-time error.

  • We have to keep either super() or this() as the first line of the constructor but NOT both simultaneously.

super & this keyword

  • super - to call parent class members(variables and methods).
  • this - to call same class members(variables and methods).

NOTE: We can use both of them anywhere in a class except static areas(static block or method), any attempt to do so will lead to compile-time error.

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

Sure you can; it's called a dictionary:

d = {}
for x in range(1, 10):
    d["string{0}".format(x)] = "Hello"
>>> d["string5"]
'Hello'
>>> d
{'string1': 'Hello',
 'string2': 'Hello',
 'string3': 'Hello',
 'string4': 'Hello',
 'string5': 'Hello',
 'string6': 'Hello',
 'string7': 'Hello',
 'string8': 'Hello',
 'string9': 'Hello'}

I said this somewhat tongue in check, but really the best way to associate one value with another value is a dictionary. That is what it was designed for!

Indirectly referenced from required .class file

I was getting this error:

The type com.ibm.portal.state.exceptions.StateException cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Doing the following fixed it for me:

How to install multiple python packages at once using pip

Complementing the other answers, you can use the option --no-cache-dir to disable caching in pip. My virtual machine was crashing when installing many packages at once with pip install -r requirements.txt. What solved for me was:

pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

How do I measure time elapsed in Java?

Your new class:

public class TimeWatch {    
    long starts;

    public static TimeWatch start() {
        return new TimeWatch();
    }

    private TimeWatch() {
        reset();
    }

    public TimeWatch reset() {
        starts = System.currentTimeMillis();
        return this;
    }

    public long time() {
        long ends = System.currentTimeMillis();
        return ends - starts;
    }

    public long time(TimeUnit unit) {
        return unit.convert(time(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }
}

Usage:

    TimeWatch watch = TimeWatch.start();
    // do something
    long passedTimeInMs = watch.time();
    long passedTimeInSeconds = watch.time(TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Afterwards, the time passed can be converted to whatever format you like, with a calender for example

Moving from JDK 1.7 to JDK 1.8 on Ubuntu

Most of the answers for this question can not helped me in 2020.

This notification from download site of Oracle may be the reason:

Important Oracle JDK License Update

The Oracle JDK License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019.

I try to google a little bit and those tutorials below helped me a lot.

  1. Remove completely the previous version of JVM installed on your PC.

    sudo update-alternatives --remove-all java
    sudo update-alternatives --remove-all javac
    sudo update-alternatives --remove-all javaws
    
    # /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0 is the path you installed the previous version of JVM on your PC
    sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0 
    

    Check to see whether java is uninstalled or not

    java -version
    
  2. Install Java 8 JDK.

    • Download Java 8 from Oracle's website. The version being used is 1.8.0_251. Pay attention to this value, you may need it to edit commands in this answer when Java 8 is upgraded to another version.
    • Extract the compressed file to the place where you want to install.

    cd /usr/lib/jvm
    sudo tar xzf ~/Downloads/jdk-8u251-linux-x64.tar.gz
    
    • Edit environment file

    sudo gedit /etc/environment
    
    • Edit the PATH's value by appending the string below to the current value

    :/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/jre/bin
    
    • Append those strings to the environment file

    J2SDKDIR="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251"
    J2REDIR="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/jre"
    JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251"
    
    • Complete the installation by running commands below

    sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/bin/java" 0
    sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/bin/javac" 0
    sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/bin/java
    sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_251/bin/javac
    
    update-alternatives --list java
    update-alternatives --list javac
    

How to change already compiled .class file without decompile?

I added some codes and save .class file.

What you see in JD EClipse Decompiler is decompiled representation of byte code in the .class file. Even though you change the text it won't affect the byte code.

Move a view up only when the keyboard covers an input field

This code moves up the text field you are editing so that you can view it in Swift 3 for this answer you also have to make your view a UITextFieldDelegate:

var moveValue: CGFloat!
var moved: Bool = false
var activeTextField = UITextField()

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    self.activeTextField = textField
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    if moved == true{
    self.animateViewMoving(up: false, moveValue: moveValue )
        moved = false
    }
}
func animateViewMoving (up:Bool, moveValue :CGFloat){
    let movementDuration:TimeInterval = 0.3
    let movement:CGFloat = ( up ? -moveValue : moveValue)

    UIView.beginAnimations("animateView", context: nil)
    UIView.setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState(true)
    UIView.setAnimationDuration(movementDuration)

    self.view.frame = self.view.frame.offsetBy(dx: 0, dy: movement)
    UIView.commitAnimations()
}

And then in viewDidLoad:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

Which calls (outside viewDidLoad):

func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        let keyboardHeight = keyboardSize.height
        if (view.frame.size.height-self.activeTextField.frame.origin.y) - self.activeTextField.frame.size.height < keyboardHeight{
            moveValue = keyboardHeight - ((view.frame.size.height-self.activeTextField.frame.origin.y) - self.activeTextField.frame.size.height)
            self.animateViewMoving(up: true, moveValue: moveValue )
            moved = true
        }
    }
}

SQL Server procedure declare a list

I've always found it easier to invert the test against the list in situations like this. For instance...

SELECT 
    field0, field1, field2 
FROM 
    my_table 
WHERE 
    ',' + @mysearchlist + ',' LIKE '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%' 

This means that there is no complicated mish-mash required for the values that you are looking for.

As an example, if our list was ('1,2,3'), then we add a comma to the start and end of our list like so: ',' + @mysearchlist + ','.

We also do the same for the field value we're looking for and add wildcards: '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%' (notice the % and the , characters).

Finally we test the two using the LIKE operator: ',' + @mysearchlist + ',' LIKE '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%'.

adb connection over tcp not working now

if you use Android M:

Step 1 : adb usb
Step 2 : adb devices
Step 3 :adb tcpip 5556
Go to Settings -> About phone/tablet -> Status -> IP address.
Step 4 : adb connect ADDRESS IP OF YOUR PHONE:5556

Java - get the current class name?

In your example, this probably refers to an anonymous class instance. Java gives a name to those classes by appending a $number to the name of the enclosing class.

Why is it that "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI" here?

I had that problem, if you are calling your REST Methods from another Assembly you must be sure that all your references have the same version as your main project references, otherwise will never find your controllers.

Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

This was the first question/answer that popped up for me when trying to solve the same problem using ASP.NET MVC as the source of my data. I realize this doesn't solve the PHP question, but it is related enough to be valuable.

I am using ASP.NET MVC. The blog post from Greg Brant worked for me. Ultimately, you create an attribute, [HttpHeaderAttribute("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")], that you are able to add to controller actions.

For example:

public class HttpHeaderAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
    public HttpHeaderAttribute(string name, string value)
    {
        Name = name;
        Value = value;
    }

    public override void OnResultExecuted(ResultExecutedContext filterContext)
    {
        filterContext.HttpContext.Response.AppendHeader(Name, Value);
        base.OnResultExecuted(filterContext);
    }
}

And then using it with:

[HttpHeaderAttribute("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")]
public ActionResult MyVeryAvailableAction(string id)
{
    return Json( "Some public result" );
}

How do you input command line arguments in IntelliJ IDEA?

You separate multiple program arguments with spaces. (this was not obvious to me)

JQuery: Change value of hidden input field

If you're doing this in Drupal and use the Form API to change the #type from text to 'hidden' in hook_form_alter (for example), be advised that the output HTML will have different (or omitted) DIV wrappers, IDs and class names.

How to set a Default Route (To an Area) in MVC

First, what version of MVC2 are you using? There have been significant changes from preview2 to RC.

Assuming you use the RC, I think you route-mapping should look differently. In the AreaRegistration.cs in your area, you can register some kind of default route, e.g.

        context.MapRoute(
            "ShopArea_default",
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            new { action = "Index", id = "", controller="MyRoute" }
        );

The code above will send the user to the MyRouteController in our ShopArea per default.

Using an empty string as a second parameter should throw an exception, because a controller must be specified.

Of course you will have to change the default route in Global.asax so it doesn't interfere with this default route, e.g. by using a prefix for the main site.

Also see this thread and Haack's answer: MVC 2 AreaRegistration Routes Order

Hope this helps.

How to execute AngularJS controller function on page load?

Bash script to run php script

A previous poster said..

If you have PHP installed as a command line tool… your shebang (#!) line needs to look like this: #!/usr/bin/php

While this could be true… just because you can type in php does NOT necessarily mean that's where php is going to be... /usr/bin/php is A common location… but as with any shebang… it needs to be tailored to YOUR env.

a quick way to find out WHERE YOUR particular executable is located on your $PATH, try.. ?which -a php ENTER, which for me looks like..

php is /usr/local/php5/bin/php
php is /usr/bin/php
php is /usr/local/bin/php
php is /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/php

The first one is the default i'd get if I just typed in php at a command prompt… but I can use any of them in a shebang, or directly… You can also combine the executable name with env, as is often seen, but I don't really know much about / trust that. XOXO.

Javascript Drag and drop for touch devices

You can use the Jquery UI for drag and drop with an additional library that translates mouse events into touch which is what you need, the library I recommend is https://github.com/furf/jquery-ui-touch-punch, with this your drag and drop from Jquery UI should work on touch devises

or you can use this code which I am using, it also converts mouse events into touch and it works like magic.

function touchHandler(event) {
    var touch = event.changedTouches[0];

    var simulatedEvent = document.createEvent("MouseEvent");
        simulatedEvent.initMouseEvent({
        touchstart: "mousedown",
        touchmove: "mousemove",
        touchend: "mouseup"
    }[event.type], true, true, window, 1,
        touch.screenX, touch.screenY,
        touch.clientX, touch.clientY, false,
        false, false, false, 0, null);

    touch.target.dispatchEvent(simulatedEvent);
    event.preventDefault();
}

function init() {
    document.addEventListener("touchstart", touchHandler, true);
    document.addEventListener("touchmove", touchHandler, true);
    document.addEventListener("touchend", touchHandler, true);
    document.addEventListener("touchcancel", touchHandler, true);
}

And in your document.ready just call the init() function

Canvas width and height in HTML5

A canvas has 2 sizes, the dimension of the pixels in the canvas (it's backingstore or drawingBuffer) and the display size. The number of pixels is set using the the canvas attributes. In HTML

<canvas width="400" height="300"></canvas>

Or in JavaScript

someCanvasElement.width = 400;
someCanvasElement.height = 300;

Separate from that are the canvas's CSS style width and height

In CSS

canvas {  /* or some other selector */
   width: 500px;
   height: 400px;
}

Or in JavaScript

canvas.style.width = "500px";
canvas.style.height = "400px";

The arguably best way to make a canvas 1x1 pixels is to ALWAYS USE CSS to choose the size then write a tiny bit of JavaScript to make the number of pixels match that size.

function resizeCanvasToDisplaySize(canvas) {
   // look up the size the canvas is being displayed
   const width = canvas.clientWidth;
   const height = canvas.clientHeight;

   // If it's resolution does not match change it
   if (canvas.width !== width || canvas.height !== height) {
     canvas.width = width;
     canvas.height = height;
     return true;
   }

   return false;
}

Why is this the best way? Because it works in most cases without having to change any code.

Because I didn't set the attributes the only thing that changed in each sample is the CSS (as far as the canvas is concerned)

Notes:

  • Don't put borders or padding on a canvas element. Computing the size to subtract from the number of dimensions of the element is troublesome

How to set a Fragment tag by code?

Nowadays there's a simpler way to achieve this if you are using a DialogFragment (not a Fragment):

val yourDialogFragment = YourDialogFragment()
yourDialogFragment.show(
    activity.supportFragmentManager,
    "YOUR_TAG_FRAGMENT"
)

Under the hood, the show() method does create a FragmentTransaction and adds the tag by using the add() method. But it's much more convenient to use the show() method in my opinion.

You could shorten it for Fragment too, by using a Kotlin Extension :)

ImportError: No module named scipy

For windows users:

I found this solution after days. Firstly which python version you want to install?

If you want for Python 2.7 version:

STEP 1:

scipy-0.19.0-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

scipy-0.19.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

If you want for Python 3.4 version:

scipy-0.19.0-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl

scipy-0.19.0-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

If you want for Python 3.5 version:

scipy-0.19.0-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

scipy-0.19.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

If you want for Python 3.6 version:

scipy-0.19.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl

scipy-0.19.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl

numpy-1.11.3+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Once finish installation, go to your directory.

For example my directory:

cd C:\Users\asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts>
pip install [where/is/your/downloaded/scipy_whl.]

STEP 2:

Numpy+MKL

From same web site based on python version again:

After that use same thing again in Script folder

cd C:\Users\asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts>
pip3 install [where/is/your/downloaded/numpy_whl.]

And test it in python folder.

How do you iterate through every file/directory recursively in standard C++?

If you are on Windows, you can use the FindFirstFile together with FindNextFile API. You can use FindFileData.dwFileAttributes to check if a given path is a file or a directory. If it's a directory, you can recursively repeat the algorithm.

Here, I have put together some code that lists all the files on a Windows machine.

Can't find/install libXtst.so.6?

Your problem comes from the 32/64 bit version of your JDK/JRE... Your shared lib is searched for a 32 bit version.

Your default JDK is a 32 bit version. Try to install a 64 bit one by default and relaunch your `.sh file.

No newline after div?

This works the best, in my case, I tried it all

.div_class {
    clear: left;
}

What does ENABLE_BITCODE do in xcode 7?

What is embedded bitcode?

According to docs:

Bitcode is an intermediate representation of a compiled program. Apps you upload to iTunes Connect that contain bitcode will be compiled and linked on the App Store. Including bitcode will allow Apple to re-optimize your app binary in the future without the need to submit a new version of your app to the store.

Update: This phrase in "New Features in Xcode 7" made me to think for a long time that Bitcode is needed for Slicing to reduce app size:

When you archive for submission to the App Store, Xcode will compile your app into an intermediate representation. The App Store will then compile the bitcode down into the 64 or 32 bit executables as necessary.

However that's not true, Bitcode and Slicing work independently: Slicing is about reducing app size and generating app bundle variants, and Bitcode is about certain binary optimizations. I've verified this by checking included architectures in executables of non-bitcode apps and founding that they only include necessary ones.

Bitcode allows other App Thinning component called Slicing to generate app bundle variants with particular executables for particular architectures, e.g. iPhone 5S variant will include only arm64 executable, iPad Mini armv7 and so on.

When to enable ENABLE_BITCODE in new Xcode?

For iOS apps, bitcode is the default, but optional. If you provide bitcode, all apps and frameworks in the app bundle need to include bitcode. For watchOS and tvOS apps, bitcode is required.

What happens to the binary when ENABLE_BITCODE is enabled in the new Xcode?

From Xcode 7 reference:

Activating this setting indicates that the target or project should generate bitcode during compilation for platforms and architectures which support it. For Archive builds, bitcode will be generated in the linked binary for submission to the app store. For other builds, the compiler and linker will check whether the code complies with the requirements for bitcode generation, but will not generate actual bitcode.

Here's a couple of links that will help in deeper understanding of Bitcode:
