Programs & Examples On #Touch event

An event that is triggered when a user 'touches' a GUI component

how to programmatically fake a touch event to a UIButton?

If you want to do this kind of testing, you’ll love the UI Automation support in iOS 4. You can write JavaScript to simulate button presses, etc. fairly easily, though the documentation (especially the getting-started part) is a bit sparse.

How do I iterate through each element in an n-dimensional matrix in MATLAB?

these solutions are more faster (about 11%) than using numel;)

for idx = reshape(array,1,[]),
     element = element + idx;
end

or

for idx = array(:)',
    element = element + idx;
end

Disclaimer

The timing information that this post has referenced is incorrect and inaccurate due to a fundamental typo that was made (see comments stream below as well as the edit history - specifically look at the first version of this answer). Caveat Emptor.

sql server invalid object name - but tables are listed in SSMS tables list

Are you certain that the table in question exists?

Have you refreshed the table view in the Object Explorer? This can be done by right clicking the "tables" folder and pressing the F5 key.

You may also need to reresh the Intellisense cache.

This can be done by following the menu route: Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

Fade In on Scroll Down, Fade Out on Scroll Up - based on element position in window

Sorry this is and old thread but some people would still need this I guess,

Note: I achieved this using Animate.css library for animating the fade.

I used your code and just added .hidden class (using bootstrap's hidden class) but you can still just define .hidden { opacity: 0; }

$(document).ready(function() {

/* Every time the window is scrolled ... */

$(window).scroll( function(){

/* Check the location of each desired element */
$('.hideme').each( function(i){

    var bottom_of_object = $(this).position().top + $(this).outerHeight();
    var bottom_of_window = $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height();


    /* If the object is completely visible in the window, fade it it */
    if( bottom_of_window > bottom_of_object ){

        $(this).removeClass('hidden');
        $(this).addClass('animated fadeInUp');
    }    else {
            $(this).addClass('hidden');
               }

}); 
}); 
});

Another Note: Applying this to containers might cause it to be glitchy.

"Large data" workflows using pandas

I think the answers above are missing a simple approach that I've found very useful.

When I have a file that is too large to load in memory, I break up the file into multiple smaller files (either by row or cols)

Example: In case of 30 days worth of trading data of ~30GB size, I break it into a file per day of ~1GB size. I subsequently process each file separately and aggregate results at the end

One of the biggest advantages is that it allows parallel processing of the files (either multiple threads or processes)

The other advantage is that file manipulation (like adding/removing dates in the example) can be accomplished by regular shell commands, which is not be possible in more advanced/complicated file formats

This approach doesn't cover all scenarios, but is very useful in a lot of them

Increasing the JVM maximum heap size for memory intensive applications

32-bit Java is limited to approximately 1.4 to 1.6 GB.

Oracle 32 bit heap FAQ

Quote

The maximum theoretical heap limit for the 32-bit JVM is 4G. Due to various additional constraints such as available swap, kernel address space usage, memory fragmentation, and VM overhead, in practice the limit can be much lower. On most modern 32-bit Windows systems the maximum heap size will range from 1.4G to 1.6G. On 32-bit Solaris kernels the address space is limited to 2G. On 64-bit operating systems running the 32-bit VM, the max heap size can be higher, approaching 4G on many Solaris systems.

With Spring can I make an optional path variable?

Check this Spring 3 WebMVC - Optional Path Variables. It shows an article of making an extension to AntPathMatcher to enable optional path variables and might be of help. All credits to Sebastian Herold for posting the article.

How do I make WRAP_CONTENT work on a RecyclerView

UPDATE 02.07.2020
This method may prevent recycling and should not be used on large data sets.

UPDATE 05.07.2019

If you are using RecyclerView inside a ScrollView, just change ScrollView to androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView. Inside this view there is no need to pack RecyclerView inside a RelativeLayout.

<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <!-- other views -->

        <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <!-- other views -->

    </LinearLayout>

</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

Finally found the solution for this problem.

All you need to do is wrap the RecyclerView in a RelativeLayout. Maybe there are other Views which may also work.

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>

How to properly upgrade node using nvm

Here are the steps that worked for me for Ubuntu OS and using nvm

Go to nodejs website and get the last LTS version (for example in your current dater the version will be: x.y.z)

nvm install x.y.z
# In my case current version is: 14.15.4 (and had 14.15.3)

After that, execute nvm list and you will get list of node versions installed by nvm.

Now you need to switch to the default last installed one by executing:

nvm alias default x.y.z

List again or run nvm --version to check: enter image description here

Update: sometimes even if i go over the steps above it doesn't work, so what i did was removing the symbolic links in /usr/local/bin

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo rm node npm npx

And relink:

sudo ln -s $(which node) /usr/local/bin/node
sudo ln -s $(which npm) /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo ln -s $(which npx) /usr/local/bin/npx

Check if Cell value exists in Column, and then get the value of the NEXT Cell

Use a different function, like VLOOKUP:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B, 0)), "No Match", VLOOKUP(A1,B:C,2,FALSE))

How to append output to the end of a text file

You can use the >> operator. This will append data from a command to the end of a text file.

To test this try running:

echo "Hi this is a test" >> textfile.txt

Do this a couple of times and then run:

cat textfile.txt

You'll see your text has been appended several times to the textfile.txt file.

Could not open input file: artisan

You need to first create Laravel project and if you already have one you need to go to this project dir using cd command in terminal for example cd myproject.

Now you will be able to run any artisan commands, for example running php artisan will display you list of available commands.

Where can I find the Java SDK in Linux after installing it?

This depends a bit from your package system ... if the java command works, you can type readlink -f $(which java) to find the location of the java command. On the OpenSUSE system I'm on now it returns /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0/jre/bin/java (but this is not a system which uses apt-get).


On Ubuntu, it looks like it is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ for OpenJDK, and in some other subdirectory of /usr/lib/jvm/ for Suns JDK (and other implementations as well, I think).

Debian is the same.


For any given package you can determine what files it installs and where it installs them by querying dpkg. For example for the package 'openjdk-6-jdk': dpkg -L openjdk-6-jdk

Escape double quote in VB string

Escaping quotes in VB6 or VBScript strings is simple in theory although often frightening when viewed. You escape a double quote with another double quote.

An example:

"c:\program files\my app\app.exe"

If I want to escape the double quotes so I could pass this to the shell execute function listed by Joe or the VB6 Shell function I would write it:

escapedString = """c:\program files\my app\app.exe"""

How does this work? The first and last quotes wrap the string and let VB know this is a string. Then each quote that is displayed literally in the string has another double quote added in front of it to escape it.

It gets crazier when you are trying to pass a string with multiple quoted sections. Remember, every quote you want to pass has to be escaped.

If I want to pass these two quoted phrases as a single string separated by a space (which is not uncommon):

"c:\program files\my app\app.exe" "c:\documents and settings\steve"

I would enter this:

escapedQuoteHell = """c:\program files\my app\app.exe"" ""c:\documents and settings\steve"""

I've helped my sysadmins with some VBScripts that have had even more quotes.

It's not pretty, but that's how it works.

Multiple submit buttons on HTML form – designate one button as default

Quick'n'dirty you could create an hidden duplicate of the submit-button, which should be used, when pressing enter.

Example CSS

input.hidden {
    width: 0px;
    height: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    outline: none;
    border: 0px;
}

Example HTML

<input type="submit" name="next" value="Next" class="hidden" />
<input type="submit" name="prev" value="Previous" />
<input type="submit" name="next" value="Next" />

If someone now hits enter in your form, the (hidden) next-button will be used as submitter.

Tested on IE9, Firefox, Chrome and Opera

Find (and kill) process locking port 3000 on Mac

This single command line is easy to remember:

For a more powerful tool with search:

npx fkill-cli


PS: They use third party javascript packages. npx comes built in with Node.js.

For example: http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/

It works great!

Reading serial data in realtime in Python

From the manual:

Possible values for the parameter timeout: … x set timeout to x seconds

and

readlines(sizehint=None, eol='\n') Read a list of lines, until timeout. sizehint is ignored and only present for API compatibility with built-in File objects.

Note that this function only returns on a timeout.

So your readlines will return at most every 2 seconds. Use read() as Tim suggested.

Why and when to use angular.copy? (Deep Copy)

I know its already answered, still i am just trying to make it simple. So angular.copy(data) you can use in case where you want to modify/change your received object by keeping its original values unmodified/unchanged.

For example: suppose i have made api call and got my originalObj, now i want to change the values of api originalObj for some case but i want the original values too so what i can do is, i can make a copy of my api originalObj in duplicateObj and modify duplicateObj this way my originalObj values will not change. In simple words duplicateObj modification will not reflect in originalObj unlike how js obj behave.

 $scope.originalObj={
            fname:'sudarshan',
            country:'India'
        }
        $scope.duplicateObj=angular.copy($scope.originalObj);
        console.log('----------originalObj--------------');
        console.log($scope.originalObj);
        console.log('-----------duplicateObj---------------');
        console.log($scope.duplicateObj);

        $scope.duplicateObj.fname='SUD';
        $scope.duplicateObj.country='USA';
        console.log('---------After update-------')
        console.log('----------originalObj--------------');
        console.log($scope.originalObj);
        console.log('-----------duplicateObj---------------');
        console.log($scope.duplicateObj);

Result is like....

    ----------originalObj--------------
manageProfileController.js:1183 {fname: "sudarshan", country: "India"}
manageProfileController.js:1184 -----------duplicateObj---------------
manageProfileController.js:1185 {fname: "sudarshan", country: "India"}
manageProfileController.js:1189 ---------After update-------
manageProfileController.js:1190 ----------originalObj--------------
manageProfileController.js:1191 {fname: "sudarshan", country: "India"}
manageProfileController.js:1192 -----------duplicateObj---------------
manageProfileController.js:1193 {fname: "SUD", country: "USA"}

Android Bitmap to Base64 String

I have fast solution. Just create a file ImageUtil.java

import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.util.Base64;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;

public class ImageUtil
{
    public static Bitmap convert(String base64Str) throws IllegalArgumentException
    {
        byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.decode(
            base64Str.substring(base64Str.indexOf(",")  + 1),
            Base64.DEFAULT
        );

        return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedBytes, 0, decodedBytes.length);
    }

    public static String convert(Bitmap bitmap)
    {
        ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outputStream);

        return Base64.encodeToString(outputStream.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT);
    }

}

Usage:

Bitmap bitmap = ImageUtil.convert(base64String);

or

String base64String = ImageUtil.convert(bitmap);

What is unexpected T_VARIABLE in PHP?

In my case it was an issue of the PHP version.

The .phar file I was using was not compatible with PHP 5.3.9. Switching interpreter to PHP 7 did fix it.

How to send an email with Gmail as provider using Python?

You need to say EHLO before just running straight into STARTTLS:

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()

Also you should really create From:, To: and Subject: message headers, separated from the message body by a blank line and use CRLF as EOL markers.

E.g.

msg = "\r\n".join([
  "From: [email protected]",
  "To: [email protected]",
  "Subject: Just a message",
  "",
  "Why, oh why"
  ])

Note:

In order for this to work you need to enable "Allow less secure apps" option in your gmail account configuration. Otherwise you will get a "critical security alert" when gmail detects that a non-Google apps is trying to login your account.

HTML form input tag name element array with JavaScript

Here’s some PHP and JavaScript demonstration code that shows a simple way to create indexed fields on a form (fields that have the same name) and then process them in both JavaScript and PHP. The fields must have both "ID" names and "NAME" names. Javascript uses the ID and PHP uses the NAME.

<?php
// How to use same field name multiple times on form
// Process these fields in Javascript and PHP
// Must use "ID" in Javascript and "NAME" in PHP 
echo "<HTML>";
echo "<HEAD>";
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function TestForm(form) {
// Loop through the HTML form field (TheId) that is returned as an array. 
// The form field has multiple (n) occurrences on the form, each which has the same name.
// This results in the return of an array of elements indexed from 0 to n-1.
// Use ID  in Javascript
var i = 0;
document.write("<P>Javascript responding to your button click:</P>");
for (i=0; i < form.TheId.length; i++) {
  document.write(form.TheId[i].value);
  document.write("<br>");
}  
}
</script>
<?php
echo "</HEAD>";
echo "<BODY>";
$DQ = '"';  # Constant for building string with double quotes in it.

if (isset($_POST["MyButton"])) {
  $TheNameArray = $_POST["TheName"];  # Use NAME in PHP
  echo "<P>Here are the names you submitted to server:</P>";
  for ($i = 0; $i <3; $i++) {   
    echo $TheNameArray[$i] . "<BR>";
  } 
}
echo "<P>Enter names and submit to server or Javascript</P>";
echo "<FORM NAME=TstForm METHOD=POST ACTION=" ;
echo $DQ . "TestArrayFormToJavascript2.php" . $DQ . "OnReset=" . $DQ . "return allowreset(this)" . $DQ . ">";
echo "<FORM>";
echo "<INPUT ID = TheId NAME=" . $DQ . "TheName[]" . $DQ . " VALUE=" . $DQ . "" . $DQ . ">";
echo "<INPUT ID = TheId NAME=" . $DQ . "TheName[]" . $DQ . " VALUE=" . $DQ . "" . $DQ . ">";
echo "<INPUT ID = TheId NAME=" . $DQ . "TheName[]" . $DQ . " VALUE=" . $DQ . "" . $DQ . ">";
echo "<P><INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=MyButton VALUE=" . $DQ . "Submit to server"    . $DQ . "></P>";
echo "<P><BUTTON onclick=" . $DQ . "TestForm(this.form)" . $DQ . ">Submit to Javascript</BUTTON></P>"; 
echo "</FORM>";
echo "</BODY>";
echo "</HTML>";

Github Windows 'Failed to sync this branch'

How to convert between bytes and strings in Python 3?

The 'mangler' in the above code sample was doing the equivalent of this:

bytesThing = stringThing.encode(encoding='UTF-8')

There are other ways to write this (notably using bytes(stringThing, encoding='UTF-8'), but the above syntax makes it obvious what is going on, and also what to do to recover the string:

newStringThing = bytesThing.decode(encoding='UTF-8')

When we do this, the original string is recovered.

Note, using str(bytesThing) just transcribes all the gobbledegook without converting it back into Unicode, unless you specifically request UTF-8, viz., str(bytesThing, encoding='UTF-8'). No error is reported if the encoding is not specified.

Why does C++ code for testing the Collatz conjecture run faster than hand-written assembly?

You did not post the code generated by the compiler, so there' some guesswork here, but even without having seen it, one can say that this:

test rax, 1
jpe even

... has a 50% chance of mispredicting the branch, and that will come expensive.

The compiler almost certainly does both computations (which costs neglegibly more since the div/mod is quite long latency, so the multiply-add is "free") and follows up with a CMOV. Which, of course, has a zero percent chance of being mispredicted.

std::queue iteration

While I agree with others that direct use of an iterable container is a preferred solution, I want to point out that the C++ standard guarantees enough support for a do-it-yourself solution in case you want it for whatever reason.

Namely, you can inherit from std::queue and use its protected member Container c; to access begin() and end() of the underlying container (provided that such methods exist there). Here is an example that works in VS 2010 and tested with ideone:

#include <queue>
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>

template<typename T, typename Container=std::deque<T> >
class iterable_queue : public std::queue<T,Container>
{
public:
    typedef typename Container::iterator iterator;
    typedef typename Container::const_iterator const_iterator;

    iterator begin() { return this->c.begin(); }
    iterator end() { return this->c.end(); }
    const_iterator begin() const { return this->c.begin(); }
    const_iterator end() const { return this->c.end(); }
};

int main() {
    iterable_queue<int> int_queue;
    for(int i=0; i<10; ++i)
        int_queue.push(i);
    for(auto it=int_queue.begin(); it!=int_queue.end();++it)
        std::cout << *it << "\n";
    return 0;
}

How to use an arraylist as a prepared statement parameter

why making life hard-

PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("select * from employee where id in ("+ StringUtils.join(arraylistParameter.iterator(),",") +)");

When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent?

Also remember that they all encode different sets of characters, and select the one you need appropriately. encodeURI() encodes fewer characters than encodeURIComponent(), which encodes fewer (and also different, to dannyp's point) characters than escape().

Pandas Merging 101

This post will go through the following topics:

  • Merging with index under different conditions
    • options for index-based joins: merge, join, concat
    • merging on indexes
    • merging on index of one, column of other
  • effectively using named indexes to simplify merging syntax

BACK TO TOP



Index-based joins

TL;DR

There are a few options, some simpler than others depending on the use case.

  1. DataFrame.merge with left_index and right_index (or left_on and right_on using names indexes)
    • supports inner/left/right/full
    • can only join two at a time
    • supports column-column, index-column, index-index joins
  2. DataFrame.join (join on index)
    • supports inner/left (default)/right/full
    • can join multiple DataFrames at a time
    • supports index-index joins
  3. pd.concat (joins on index)
    • supports inner/full (default)
    • can join multiple DataFrames at a time
    • supports index-index joins

Index to index joins

Setup & Basics

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

np.random.seed([3, 14])
left = pd.DataFrame(data={'value': np.random.randn(4)}, 
                    index=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])    
right = pd.DataFrame(data={'value': np.random.randn(4)},  
                     index=['B', 'D', 'E', 'F'])
left.index.name = right.index.name = 'idxkey'

left
           value
idxkey          
A      -0.602923
B      -0.402655
C       0.302329
D      -0.524349

right
 
           value
idxkey          
B       0.543843
D       0.013135
E      -0.326498
F       1.385076

Typically, an inner join on index would look like this:

left.merge(right, left_index=True, right_index=True)

         value_x   value_y
idxkey                    
B      -0.402655  0.543843
D      -0.524349  0.013135

Other joins follow similar syntax.

Notable Alternatives

  1. DataFrame.join defaults to joins on the index. DataFrame.join does a LEFT OUTER JOIN by default, so how='inner' is necessary here.

     left.join(right, how='inner', lsuffix='_x', rsuffix='_y')
    
              value_x   value_y
     idxkey                    
     B      -0.402655  0.543843
     D      -0.524349  0.013135
    

    Note that I needed to specify the lsuffix and rsuffix arguments since join would otherwise error out:

     left.join(right)
     ValueError: columns overlap but no suffix specified: Index(['value'], dtype='object')
    

    Since the column names are the same. This would not be a problem if they were differently named.

     left.rename(columns={'value':'leftvalue'}).join(right, how='inner')
    
             leftvalue     value
     idxkey                     
     B       -0.402655  0.543843
     D       -0.524349  0.013135
    
  2. pd.concat joins on the index and can join two or more DataFrames at once. It does a full outer join by default, so how='inner' is required here..

     pd.concat([left, right], axis=1, sort=False, join='inner')
    
                value     value
     idxkey                    
     B      -0.402655  0.543843
     D      -0.524349  0.013135
    

    For more information on concat, see this post.


Index to Column joins

To perform an inner join using index of left, column of right, you will use DataFrame.merge a combination of left_index=True and right_on=....

right2 = right.reset_index().rename({'idxkey' : 'colkey'}, axis=1)
right2
 
  colkey     value

Other joins follow a similar structure. Note that only merge can perform index to column joins. You can join on multiple columns, provided the number of index levels on the left equals the number of columns on the right.

join and concat are not capable of mixed merges. You will need to set the index as a pre-step using DataFrame.set_index.


Effectively using Named Index [pandas >= 0.23]

If your index is named, then from pandas >= 0.23, DataFrame.merge allows you to specify the index name to on (or left_on and right_on as necessary).

left.merge(right, on='idxkey')

         value_x   value_y
idxkey                    
B      -0.402655  0.543843
D      -0.524349  0.013135

For the previous example of merging with the index of left, column of right, you can use left_on with the index name of left:

left.merge(right2, left_on='idxkey', right_on='colkey')

    value_x colkey   value_y
0 -0.402655      B  0.543843
1 -0.524349      D  0.013135

Bootstrap 3 - Set Container Width to 940px Maximum for Desktops?

In the first place consider the Small grid, see: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-options. A max container width of 750 px will maybe to small for you (also read: Why does Bootstrap 3 force the container width to certain sizes?)

When using the Small grid use media queries to set the max-container width:

@media (min-width: 768px) { .container { max-width: 750px; } }

Second also read this question: Bootstrap 3 - 940px width grid?, possible duplicate?

12 x 60 = 720px for the columns and 11 x 20 = 220px

there will also a gutter of 20px on both sides of the grid so 220 + 720 + 40 makes 980px

there is 'no' @ColumnWidth

You colums width will be calculated dynamically based on your settings in variables.less. you could set @grid-columns and @grid-gutter-width. The width of a column will be set as a percentage via grid.less in mixins.less:

.calc-grid(@index, @class, @type) when (@type = width) {
  .col-@{class}-@{index} {
    width: percentage((@index / @grid-columns));
  }
}

update Set @grid-gutter-width to 20px;, @container-desktop: 940px;, @container-large-desktop: @container-desktop and recompile bootstrap.

How to scroll UITableView to specific position

it should work using - (void)scrollToRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath atScrollPosition:(UITableViewScrollPosition)scrollPosition animated:(BOOL)animated using it this way:

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
[yourTableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:indexPath 
                     atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop 
                             animated:YES];

atScrollPosition could take any of these values:

typedef enum {
UITableViewScrollPositionNone,
UITableViewScrollPositionTop,
UITableViewScrollPositionMiddle,
UITableViewScrollPositionBottom
} UITableViewScrollPosition;

I hope this helps you

Replace comma with newline in sed on MacOS?

MacOS is different, there is two way to solve this problem with sed in mac

  • first ,use \'$'\n'' replace \n, it can work in MacOS:

    sed 's/,/\'$'\n''/g' file
    
  • the second, just use an empty line:

    sed 's/,/\
    /g' file
    
  • Ps. Pay attention the range separated by '

  • the third, use gnu-sed replace the mac-sed

How to save data file into .RData?

Alternatively, when you want to save individual R objects, I recommend using saveRDS.

You can save R objects using saveRDS, then load them into R with a new variable name using readRDS.

Example:

# Save the city object
saveRDS(city, "city.rds")

# ...

# Load the city object as city
city <- readRDS("city.rds")

# Or with a different name
city2 <- readRDS("city.rds")

But when you want to save many/all your objects in your workspace, use Manetheran's answer.

Add day(s) to a Date object

Note : Use it if calculating / adding days from current date.

Be aware: this answer has issues (see comments)

var myDate = new Date();
myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate() + AddDaysHere);

It should be like

var newDate = new Date(date.setTime( date.getTime() + days * 86400000 ));

how to convert a string date to date format in oracle10g

You can convert a string to a DATE using the TO_DATE function, then reformat the date as another string using TO_CHAR, i.e.:

SELECT TO_CHAR(
         TO_DATE('15/August/2009,4:30 PM'
                ,'DD/Month/YYYY,HH:MI AM')
       ,'DD-MM-YYYY')
FROM DUAL;

15-08-2009

For example, if your table name is MYTABLE and the varchar2 column is MYDATESTRING:

SELECT TO_CHAR(
         TO_DATE(MYDATESTRING
                ,'DD/Month/YYYY,HH:MI AM')
       ,'DD-MM-YYYY')
FROM MYTABLE;

Opening a .ipynb.txt File

Below is the easiest way in case if Anaconda is already installed.

Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary, especially if it merges an updated upstream into a topic branch

Since your local repository is few commits ahead, git tries to merge your remote to your local repo. This can be handled via merge, but in your case, perhaps you are looking for rebase, i.e. add your commit to the top. You can do this with

git rebase or git pull --rebase

Here is a good article explaining the difference between git pull & git pull --rebase.

https://www.derekgourlay.com/blog/git-when-to-merge-vs-when-to-rebase/

What would be the best method to code heading/title for <ul> or <ol>, Like we have <caption> in <table>?

h3 is absolutly a better solution than h2, h1 or h6 !

  1. You have to use specific level : if you're in a h1, use h2, if you're in a h5, use h6 (if you're in a h6... hum, use strong or em for exemple). It not a obligation but a question of accessibility (Here, green part).

  2. You don't have to give title to list... because this element it doesn't exist. So screen reader will not use something special.

Therefore, using Hn is probably one of the best solution, but surely not a specific level.

Latex Multiple Linebreaks

Do you want more space between paragraphs? Then you can change the parameter \parskip.

For example, try

\setlength{\parskip}{10pt plus 1pt minus 1pt}

This means that the space between paragraphs is usually 10pt, but can grow or shrink by up to 1pt. This means you give LaTeX the ability to change it up to one 1pt in order to achieve a better page layout. You can remove the plus and minus parts to make it always your specified length.

If you are trying to display source code, try the listings package or use verbatim. If you are trying to typeset pseudocode, try the algorithm package.

How do you pass a function as a parameter in C?

It's not really a function, but it is an localised piece of code. Of course it doesn't pass the code just the result. It won't work if passed to an event dispatcher to be run at a later time (as the result is calculated now and not when the event occurs). But it does localise your code into one place if that is all you are trying to do.

#include <stdio.h>

int IncMultInt(int a, int b)
{
    a++;
    return a * b;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
    int a = 5;
    int b = 7;

    printf("%d * %d = %d\n", a, b, IncMultInt(a, b));

    b = 9;

    // Create some local code with it's own local variable
    printf("%d * %d = %d\n", a, b,  ( { int _a = a+1; _a * b; } ) );

    return 0;
}

How to convert a date to milliseconds

The SimpleDateFormat class allows you to parse a String into a java.util.Date object. Once you have the Date object, you can get the milliseconds since the epoch by calling Date.getTime().

The full example:

String myDate = "2014/10/29 18:10:45";
//creates a formatter that parses the date in the given format
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = sdf.parse(myDate);
long timeInMillis = date.getTime();

Note that this gives you a long and not a double, but I think that's probably what you intended. The documentation for the SimpleDateFormat class has tons on information on how to set it up to parse different formats.

How to get raw text from pdf file using java

You can use iText for do such things

//iText imports

import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.parser.PdfTextExtractor;

for example:

try {     
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(INPUTFILE);
    int n = reader.getNumberOfPages(); 
    String str=PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, 2); //Extracting the content from a particular page.
    System.out.println(str);
    reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e);
}

another one

try {

    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("c:/temp/test.pdf");
    System.out.println("This PDF has "+reader.getNumberOfPages()+" pages.");
    String page = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, 2);
    System.out.println("Page Content:\n\n"+page+"\n\n");
    System.out.println("Is this document tampered: "+reader.isTampered());
    System.out.println("Is this document encrypted: "+reader.isEncrypted());
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

the above examples can only extract the text, but you need to do some more to remove hyperlinks, bullets, heading & numbers.

ASP.NET MVC How to pass JSON object from View to Controller as Parameter

Edit:

This method should no longer be needed with the arrival of MVC 3, as it will be handled automatically - http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/27/introducing-asp-net-mvc-3-preview-1.aspx


You can use this ObjectFilter:

    public class ObjectFilter : ActionFilterAttribute {

    public string Param { get; set; }
    public Type RootType { get; set; }

    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) {
        if ((filterContext.HttpContext.Request.ContentType ?? string.Empty).Contains("application/json")) {
            object o =
            new DataContractJsonSerializer(RootType).ReadObject(filterContext.HttpContext.Request.InputStream);
            filterContext.ActionParameters[Param] = o;
        }

    }
}

You can then apply it to your controller methods like so:

    [ObjectFilter(Param = "postdata", RootType = typeof(ObjectToSerializeTo))]
    public JsonResult ControllerMethod(ObjectToSerializeTo postdata) { ... }

So basically, if the content type of the post is "application/json" this will spring into action and will map the values to the object of type you specify.

Unable to get provider com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider

Add the applicationId to the application's build.gradle:

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.my.app"
        ...
    }
}

And than Clean Project -> Build or Rebuild Project


2. If your minSdkVersion <= 20 (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex)

Use Multidex correctly.

    ...
}

manifest.xml

<application
    ...
    android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
    ...

3.

If you use a custom Application class

public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication {
    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context context) {
        super.attachBaseContext(context);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }
}

What's a good way to extend Error in JavaScript?

Edit: Please read comments. It turns out this only works well in V8 (Chrome / Node.JS) My intent was to provide a cross-browser solution, which would work in all browsers, and provide stack trace where support is there.

Edit: I made this Community Wiki to allow for more editing.

Solution for V8 (Chrome / Node.JS), works in Firefox, and can be modified to function mostly correctly in IE. (see end of post)

function UserError(message) {
  this.constructor.prototype.__proto__ = Error.prototype // Make this an instanceof Error.
  Error.call(this) // Does not seem necessary. Perhaps remove this line?
  Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor) // Creates the this.stack getter
  this.name = this.constructor.name; // Used to cause messages like "UserError: message" instead of the default "Error: message"
  this.message = message; // Used to set the message
}

Original post on "Show me the code !"

Short version:

function UserError(message) {
  this.constructor.prototype.__proto__ = Error.prototype
  Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor)
  this.name = this.constructor.name
  this.message = message
}

I keep this.constructor.prototype.__proto__ = Error.prototype inside the function to keep all the code together. But you can also replace this.constructor with UserError and that allows you to move the code to outside the function, so it only gets called once.

If you go that route, make sure you call that line before the first time you throw UserError.

That caveat does not apply the function, because functions are created first, no matter the order. Thus, you can move the function to the end of the file, without a problem.

Browser Compatibility

Works in Firefox and Chrome (and Node.JS) and fills all promises.

Internet Explorer fails in the following

  • Errors do not have err.stack to begin with, so "it's not my fault".

  • Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor) does not exist so you need to do something else like

    if(Error.captureStackTrace) // AKA if not IE
        Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor)
    
  • toString ceases to exist when you subclass Error. So you also need to add.

    else
        this.toString = function () { return this.name + ': ' + this.message }
    
  • IE will not consider UserError to be an instanceof Error unless you run the following some time before you throw UserError

    UserError.prototype = Error.prototype
    

Rails: How to list database tables/objects using the Rails console?

How to check if a table contains an element in Lua?

You can put the values as the table's keys. For example:

function addToSet(set, key)
    set[key] = true
end

function removeFromSet(set, key)
    set[key] = nil
end

function setContains(set, key)
    return set[key] ~= nil
end

There's a more fully-featured example here.

What is "android:allowBackup"?

For this lint warning, as for all other lint warnings, note that you can get a fuller explanation than just what is in the one line error message; you don't have to search the web for more info.

If you are using lint via Eclipse, either open the lint warnings view, where you can select the lint error and see a longer explanation, or invoke the quick fix (Ctrl-1) on the error line, and one of the suggestions is "Explain this issue", which will also pop up a fuller explanation. If you are not using Eclipse, you can generate an HTML report from lint (lint --html <filename>) which includes full explanations next to the warnings, or you can ask lint to explain a particular issue. For example, the issue related to allowBackup has the id AllowBackup (shown at the end of the error message), so the fuller explanation is:

$ ./lint --show AllowBackup
AllowBackup
-----------
Summary: Ensure that allowBackup is explicitly set in the application's
manifest

Priority: 3 / 10
Severity: Warning
Category: Security

The allowBackup attribute determines if an application's data can be backed up and restored, as documented here.

By default, this flag is set to true. When this flag is set to true, application data can be backed up and restored by the user using adb backup and adb restore.

This may have security consequences for an application. adb backup allows users who have enabled USB debugging to copy application data off of the device. Once backed up, all application data can be read by the user. adb restore allows creation of application data from a source specified by the user. Following a restore, applications should not assume that the data, file permissions, and directory permissions were created by the application itself.

Setting allowBackup="false" opts an application out of both backup and restore.

To fix this warning, decide whether your application should support backup and explicitly set android:allowBackup=(true|false)

jQuery - Getting the text value of a table cell in the same row as a clicked element

so you can use parent() to reach to the parent tr and then use find to gather the td with class two

var Something = $(this).parent().find(".two").html();

or

var Something = $(this).parent().parent().find(".two").html();

use as much as parent() what ever the depth of the clicked object according to the tr row

Python: Find in list

If you are going to check if value exist in the collectible once then using 'in' operator is fine. However, if you are going to check for more than once then I recommend using bisect module. Keep in mind that using bisect module data must be sorted. So you sort data once and then you can use bisect. Using bisect module on my machine is about 12 times faster than using 'in' operator.

Here is an example of code using Python 3.8 and above syntax:

import bisect
from timeit import timeit

def bisect_search(container, value):
    return (
      (index := bisect.bisect_left(container, value)) < len(container) 
      and container[index] == value
    )

data = list(range(1000))
# value to search
true_value = 666
false_value = 66666

# times to test
ttt = 1000

print(f"{bisect_search(data, true_value)=} {bisect_search(data, false_value)=}")

t1 = timeit(lambda: true_value in data, number=ttt)
t2 = timeit(lambda: bisect_search(data, true_value), number=ttt)

print("Performance:", f"{t1=:.4f}, {t2=:.4f}, diffs {t1/t2=:.2f}")

Output:

bisect_search(data, true_value)=True bisect_search(data, false_value)=False
Performance: t1=0.0220, t2=0.0019, diffs t1/t2=11.71

How to find all tables that have foreign keys that reference particular table.column and have values for those foreign keys?

Here you go:

USE information_schema;
SELECT *
FROM
  KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
WHERE
  REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'X'
  AND REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME = 'X_id';

If you have multiple databases with similar tables/column names you may also wish to limit your query to a particular database:

SELECT *
FROM
  KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
WHERE
  REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'X'
  AND REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME = 'X_id'
  AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_database_name';

How can I create a Windows .exe (standalone executable) using Java/Eclipse?

Java doesn't natively allow building of an exe, that would defeat its purpose of being cross-platform.

AFAIK, these are your options:

  1. Make a runnable JAR. If the system supports it and is configured appropriately, in a GUI, double clicking the JAR will launch the app. Another option would be to write a launcher shell script/batch file which will start your JAR with the appropriate parameters

  2. There also executable wrappers - see How can I convert my Java program to an .exe file?

How to get rid of "Unnamed: 0" column in a pandas DataFrame?

Another case that this might be happening is if your data was improperly written to your csv to have each row end with a comma. This will leave you with an unnamed column Unnamed: x at the end of your data when you try to read it into a df.

How to programmatically connect a client to a WCF service?

You can also do what the "Service Reference" generated code does

public class ServiceXClient : ClientBase<IServiceX>, IServiceX
{
    public ServiceXClient() { }

    public ServiceXClient(string endpointConfigurationName) :
        base(endpointConfigurationName) { }

    public ServiceXClient(string endpointConfigurationName, string remoteAddress) :
        base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress) { }

    public ServiceXClient(string endpointConfigurationName, EndpointAddress remoteAddress) :
        base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress) { }

    public ServiceXClient(Binding binding, EndpointAddress remoteAddress) :
        base(binding, remoteAddress) { }

    public bool ServiceXWork(string data, string otherParam)
    {
        return base.Channel.ServiceXWork(data, otherParam);
    }
}

Where IServiceX is your WCF Service Contract

Then your client code:

var client = new ServiceXClient(new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.None), new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:911"));
client.ServiceXWork("data param", "otherParam param");

cURL error 60: SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate

As you are using Windows, I think your path separator is '\' (and '/' on Linux). Try using the constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. Your code will be more portable.

EDIT: and write the full path. I had some issues with relative paths (perhaps curl is executed from another base directory?)

Select a date from date picker using Selenium webdriver

There is an argument for keeping it simple and stupid if the date picker comes from a simple html5 input and the goal is to test whatever events were added to the test. Consider for example:

<input type=date name=mydate /> 

and one wants to set a test where 'mydate' is hardcoded to 02/22/2017, a solution with python is to use the following code, which is simple enough to debug to observe what it does:

def setdate(elem_name, date_str):
    elem = driver.find_element_by_name('mydate')
    elem.click()
    elem.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_LEFT)
    elem.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_LEFT)
    elem.send_keys(date_str)

setdate('mydate'', '02222017')

Excel VBA code to copy a specific string to clipboard

This macro uses late binding to copy text to the clipboard without requiring you to set references. You should be able to just paste and go:

Sub CopyText(Text As String)
    'VBA Macro using late binding to copy text to clipboard.
    'By Justin Kay, 8/15/2014
    Dim MSForms_DataObject As Object
    Set MSForms_DataObject = CreateObject("new:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")
    MSForms_DataObject.SetText Text
    MSForms_DataObject.PutInClipboard
    Set MSForms_DataObject = Nothing
End Sub

Usage:

Sub CopySelection()
    CopyText Selection.Text
End Sub

WPF global exception handler

As mentioned above

Application.Current.DispatcherUnhandledException will not catch exceptions that are thrown from another thread then the main thread.

That actual depend on how the thread was created

One case that is not handled by Application.Current.DispatcherUnhandledException is System.Windows.Forms.Timer for which Application.ThreadException can be used to handle these if you run Forms on other threads than the main thread you will need to set Application.ThreadException from each such thread

How to set a default value in react-select

I'm using frequently something like this.

Default value from props in this example

if(Defaultvalue ===item.value) {
    return <option key={item.key} defaultValue value={item.value}>{plantel.value} </option>   
} else {
    return <option key={item.key} value={item.value}>{plantel.value} </option> 
}

Mongod complains that there is no /data/db folder

I just wanted to point out here that if you try this and you run into mkdir: /data/db: Read-only file system, please see this comment, which helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58895373.

That way if anyone is on this answer and does Control F for "read only" they will see this

Aligning label and textbox on same line (left and right)

You can do it with a table, like this:

<table width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td style="width: 50%">Left Text</td>
    <td style="width: 50%; text-align: right;">Right Text</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Or, you can do it with CSS like this:

<div style="float: left;">
    Left text
</div>
<div style="float: right;">
    Right text
</div>

How can I create an array/list of dictionaries in python?

Minor variation to user1850980's answer (for the question "How to initialize a list of empty dictionaries") using list constructor:

dictlistGOOD = list( {} for i in xrange(listsize) )

I found out to my chagrin, this does NOT work:

dictlistFAIL = [{}] * listsize  # FAIL!

as it creates a list of references to the same empty dictionary, so that if you update one dictionary in the list, all the other references get updated too.

Try these updates to see the difference:

dictlistGOOD[0]["key"] = "value"
dictlistFAIL[0]["key"] = "value"

(I was actually looking for user1850980's answer to the question asked, so his/her answer was helpful.)

Laravel Eloquent - Get one Row

AmazonS3 putObject with InputStream length example

Because the original question was never answered, and I had to run into this same problem, the solution for the MD5 problem is that S3 doesn't want the Hex encoded MD5 string we normally think about.

Instead, I had to do this.

// content is a passed in InputStream
byte[] resultByte = DigestUtils.md5(content);
String streamMD5 = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(resultByte));
metaData.setContentMD5(streamMD5);

Essentially what they want for the MD5 value is the Base64 encoded raw MD5 byte-array, not the Hex string. When I switched to this it started working great for me.

How to get Exception Error Code in C#

Another method would be to get the error code from the exception class directly. For example:

catch (Exception ex)
{
    if (ex.InnerException is ServiceResponseException)
       {
        ServiceResponseException srex = ex.InnerException as ServiceResponseException;
        string ErrorCode = srex.ErrorCode.ToString();
       }
}

Why is width: 100% not working on div {display: table-cell}?

I discovered that the higher the value of 'width' is, the smaller the box width is made and vice versa. I found this out because I had the same problem earlier. So:

.inner-wrapper {
    width: 1%;
}

solves the problem.

Angular2 get clicked element id

You can retrieve the value of an attribute by its name, enabling you to get the value of a custom attribute such as an attribute from a Directive:

<button (click)="toggle($event)" id="btn1" myCustomAttribute="somevalue"></button>


toggle( event: Event ) {
  const eventTarget: Element = event.target as Element;
  const elementId: string = eventTarget.id;
  const attribVal: string = eventTarget.attributes['myCustomAttribute'].nodeValue;
}

Java String - See if a string contains only numbers and not letters

This code is already written. If you don't mind the (extremely) minor performance hit--which is probably no worse than doing a regex match--use Integer.parseInt() or Double.parseDouble(). That'll tell you right away if a String is only numbers (or is a number, as appropriate). If you need to handle longer strings of numbers, both BigInteger and BigDecimal sport constructors that accept Strings. Any of these will throw a NumberFormatException if you try to pass it a non-number (integral or decimal, based on the one you choose, of course). Alternately, depending on your requirements, just iterate the characters in the String and check Character.isDigit() and/or Character.isLetter().

Iterating through struct fieldnames in MATLAB

You have to use curly braces ({}) to access fields, since the fieldnames function returns a cell array of strings:

for i = 1:numel(fields)
  teststruct.(fields{i})
end

Using parentheses to access data in your cell array will just return another cell array, which is displayed differently from a character array:

>> fields(1)  % Get the first cell of the cell array

ans = 

    'a'       % This is how the 1-element cell array is displayed

>> fields{1}  % Get the contents of the first cell of the cell array

ans =

a             % This is how the single character is displayed

How to add a changed file to an older (not last) commit in Git

To "fix" an old commit with a small change, without changing the commit message of the old commit, where OLDCOMMIT is something like 091b73a:

git add <my fixed files>
git commit --fixup=OLDCOMMIT
git rebase --interactive --autosquash OLDCOMMIT^

You can also use git commit --squash=OLDCOMMIT to edit the old commit message during rebase.

See documentation for git commit and git rebase. As always, when rewriting git history, you should only fixup or squash commits you have not yet published to anyone else (including random internet users and build servers).


Detailed explanation

  • git commit --fixup=OLDCOMMIT copies the OLDCOMMIT commit message and automatically prefixes fixup! so it can be put in the correct order during interactive rebase. (--squash=OLDCOMMIT does the same but prefixes squash!.)
  • git rebase --interactive will bring up a text editor (which can be configured) to confirm (or edit) the rebase instruction sequence. There is info for rebase instruction changes in the file; just save and quit the editor (:wq in vim) to continue with the rebase.
  • --autosquash will automatically put any --fixup=OLDCOMMIT commits in the correct order. Note that --autosquash is only valid when the --interactive option is used.
  • The ^ in OLDCOMMIT^ means it's a reference to the commit just before OLDCOMMIT. (OLDCOMMIT^ is the first parent of OLDCOMMIT.)

Optional automation

The above steps are good for verification and/or modifying the rebase instruction sequence, but it's also possible to skip/automate the interactive rebase text editor by:

Calling a Javascript Function from Console

An example of where the console will return ReferenceError is putting a function inside a JQuery document ready function

//this will fail
$(document).ready(function () {
          myFunction(alert('doing something!'));
          //other stuff
}

To succeed move the function outside the document ready function

//this will work
myFunction(alert('doing something!'));
$(document).ready(function () {

          //other stuff
}

Then in the console window, type the function name with the '()' to execute the function

myFunction()

Also of use is being able to print out the function body to remind yourself what the function does. Do this by leaving off the '()' from the function name

function myFunction(alert('doing something!'))

Of course if you need the function to be registered after the document is loaded then you couldn't do this. But you might be able to work around that.

GitLab git user password

if you are sure that you have uploaded the content of key.pub into GitLab, then: 1- Open Git Bash "Not CMD" 2- Browse to Solution Folder "CD Path" 3- Type Git Init 4- Type Git Add . 4- Type Git Commit 6- Type Git Push

and it will work.. another hint: make sure the path of the file where you copied the key is correct and equivalent to the same path it showed on CMD when creating the keys

SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens on line 102

You didn't bind all your bindings here

$sql = "SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS *, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(publicationDate) AS publicationDate     FROM comments WHERE articleid = :art 
ORDER BY " . mysqli_escape_string($order) . " LIMIT :numRows";

$st = $conn->prepare( $sql );
$st->bindValue( ":art", $art, PDO::PARAM_INT );

You've declared a binding called :numRows but you never actually bind anything to it.

UPDATE 2019: I keep getting upvotes on this and that reminded me of another suggestion

Double quotes are string interpolation in PHP, so if you're going to use variables in a double quotes string, it's pointless to use the concat operator. On the flip side, single quotes are not string interpolation, so if you've only got like one variable at the end of a string it can make sense, or just use it for the whole string.

In fact, there's a micro op available here since the interpreter doesn't care about parsing the string for variables. The boost is nearly unnoticable and totally ignorable on a small scale. However, in a very large application, especially good old legacy monoliths, there can be a noticeable performance increase if strings are used like this. (and IMO, it's easier to read anyway)

ORA-12154 could not resolve the connect identifier specified

There can be so many issues but if you are using oracle 10g , uninstall oracle 10g and also remove the value from registry and install oracle 11g. But if you are using oracle 11g , first go and check on registry if it is pointing to right home. Sometimes there can be more than one home because you install sql developer again and again . In that case either you can remove unnecessary home registry value or you can add tns and sql.net file to all of those home, that might resolve the issue. I resolved mine in that way.

What is the PHP syntax to check "is not null" or an empty string?

Use empty(). It checks for both empty strings and null.

if (!empty($_POST['user'])) {
  // do stuff
}

From the manual:

The following things are considered to be empty:

"" (an empty string)  
0 (0 as an integer)  
0.0 (0 as a float)  
"0" (0 as a string)    
NULL  
FALSE  
array() (an empty array)  
var $var; (a variable declared, but without a value in a class)  

Swift double to string

let double = 1.5 
let string = double.description

update Xcode 7.1 • Swift 2.1:

Now Double is also convertible to String so you can simply use it as you wish:

let double = 1.5
let doubleString = String(double)   // "1.5"

Swift 3 or later we can extend LosslessStringConvertible and make it generic

Xcode 11.3 • Swift 5.1 or later

extension LosslessStringConvertible { 
    var string: String { .init(self) } 
}

let double = 1.5 
let string = double.string  //  "1.5"

For a fixed number of fraction digits we can extend FloatingPoint protocol:

extension FloatingPoint where Self: CVarArg {
    func fixedFraction(digits: Int) -> String {
        .init(format: "%.*f", digits, self)
    }
}

If you need more control over your number format (minimum and maximum fraction digits and rounding mode) you can use NumberFormatter:

extension Formatter {
    static let number = NumberFormatter()
}

extension FloatingPoint {
    func fractionDigits(min: Int = 2, max: Int = 2, roundingMode: NumberFormatter.RoundingMode = .halfEven) -> String {
        Formatter.number.minimumFractionDigits = min
        Formatter.number.maximumFractionDigits = max
        Formatter.number.roundingMode = roundingMode
        Formatter.number.numberStyle = .decimal
        return Formatter.number.string(for: self) ?? ""
    }
}

2.12345.fractionDigits()                                    // "2.12"
2.12345.fractionDigits(min: 3, max: 3, roundingMode: .up)   // "2.124"

Angular - POST uploaded file

Looking onto this issue Github - Request/Upload progress handling via @angular/http, angular2 http does not support file upload yet.

For very basic file upload I created such service function as a workaround (using ???????'s answer):

  uploadFile(file:File):Promise<MyEntity> {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

        let xhr:XMLHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
            if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
                if (xhr.status === 200) {
                    resolve(<MyEntity>JSON.parse(xhr.response));
                } else {
                    reject(xhr.response);
                }
            }
        };

        xhr.open('POST', this.getServiceUrl(), true);

        let formData = new FormData();
        formData.append("file", file, file.name);
        xhr.send(formData);
    });
}

How do I store and retrieve a blob from sqlite?

Since there is no complete example for C++ yet, this is how you can insert and retrieve an array/vector of float data without error checking:

#include <sqlite3.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    // open sqlite3 database connection
    sqlite3* db;
    sqlite3_open("path/to/database.db", &db);

    // insert blob
    {
        sqlite3_stmt* stmtInsert = nullptr;
        sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, "INSERT INTO table_name (vector_blob) VALUES (?)", -1, &stmtInsert, nullptr);

        std::vector<float> blobData(128); // your data
        sqlite3_bind_blob(stmtInsertFace, 1, blobData.data(), static_cast<int>(blobData.size() * sizeof(float)), SQLITE_STATIC);

        if (sqlite3_step(stmtInsert) == SQLITE_DONE)
            std::cout << "Insert successful" << std::endl;
        else
            std::cout << "Insert failed" << std::endl;

        sqlite3_finalize(stmtInsert);
    }

    // retrieve blob
    {
        sqlite3_stmt* stmtRetrieve = nullptr;
        sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, "SELECT vector_blob FROM table_name WHERE id = ?", -1, &stmtRetrieve, nullptr);

        int id = 1; // your id
        sqlite3_bind_int(stmtRetrieve, 1, id);

        std::vector<float> blobData;
        if (sqlite3_step(stmtRetrieve) == SQLITE_ROW)
        {
            // retrieve blob data
            const float* pdata = reinterpret_cast<const float*>(sqlite3_column_blob(stmtRetrieve, 0));
            // query blob data size
            blobData.resize(sqlite3_column_bytes(stmtRetrieve, 0) / static_cast<int>(sizeof(float)));
            // copy to data vector
            std::copy(pdata, pdata + static_cast<int>(blobData.size()), blobData.data());
        }

        sqlite3_finalize(stmtRetrieve);
    }

    sqlite3_close(db);

    return 0;
}

Disable cross domain web security in Firefox

Almost everywhere you look, people refer to the about:config and the security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy. Sometimes also the network.http.refere.XOriginPolicy.

For me, none of these seem to have any effect.

This comment implies there is no built-in way in Firefox to do this (as of 2/8/14).

Visualizing branch topology in Git

I use the following aliases.

[alias]
    lol = log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit
    lola = log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --all

It has more info in the color scheme than aliases that I saw above. It also seems to be quite common, so you might have a chance of it existing in other's environment or being able to mention it in conversation without having to explain it.

What is the difference between React Native and React?

React Native It (homepage) is a JavaScript framework for developing mobile applications that can run natively on both Android and iOS. It is based on ReactJS, developed at Facebook, which is a declarative, component-based framework for developing web user interfaces (UIs). Syntax

return(
    <View>
      <Text>Hello World</Text>
    </View>
)

React It is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces for web development. It also allows us to create reusable UI components.You can reuse code components in React JS, saving you a lot of time.

Syntax

return(
    <div>
      <p>Hello World</p>
    </div>
)

Hibernate Union alternatives

I have a solution for one critical scenario (for which I struggled a lot )with union in HQL .

e.g. Instead of not working :-

select i , j from A a  , (select i , j from B union select i , j from C) d where a.i = d.i 

OR

select i , j from A a  JOIN (select i , j from B union select i , j from C) d on a.i = d.i 

YOU could do in Hibernate HQL ->

Query q1 =session.createQuery(select i , j from A a JOIN B b on a.i = b.i)
List l1 = q1.list();

Query q2 = session.createQuery(select i , j from A a JOIN C b on a.i = b.i)
List l2 = q2.list();

then u can add both list ->

l1.addAll(l2);

How to display HTML tags as plain text

You should use htmlspecialchars. It replaces characters as below:

  • & (ampersand) becomes &amp;
  • " (double quote) becomes &quot; when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set.
  • ' (single quote) becomes &#039; only when ENT_QUOTES is set.
  • < (less than) becomes &lt;
  • > (greater than) becomes &gt;

What should a JSON service return on failure / error

Rails scaffolds use 422 Unprocessable Entity for these kinds of errors. See RFC 4918 for more information.

Redirect to Action by parameter mvc

This error is very non-descriptive but the key here is that 'ID' is in uppercase. This indicates that the route has not been correctly set up. To let the application handle URLs with an id, you need to make sure that there's at least one route configured for it. You do this in the RouteConfig.cs located in the App_Start folder. The most common is to add the id as an optional parameter to the default route.

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    //adding the {id} and setting is as optional so that you do not need to use it for every action
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}

Now you should be able to redirect to your controller the way you have set it up.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RedirectToImages(int id)
{
    return RedirectToAction("Index","ProductImageManager", new { id });

    //if the action is in the same controller, you can omit the controller:
    //RedirectToAction("Index", new { id });
}

In one or two occassions way back I ran into some issues by normal redirect and had to resort to doing it by passing a RouteValueDictionary. More information on RedirectToAction with parameter

return RedirectToAction("Index", new RouteValueDictionary( 
    new { controller = "ProductImageManager", action = "Index", id = id } ) 
);

If you get a very similar error but in lowercase 'id', this is usually because the route expects an id parameter that has not been provided (calling a route without the id /ProductImageManager/Index). See this so question for more information.

What's the difference between a mock & stub?

How to add title to subplots in Matplotlib?

A shorthand answer assuming import matplotlib.pyplot as plt:

plt.gca().set_title('title')

plt.subplot(221)
plt.gca().set_title('title')
plt.subplot(222)
etc...

Then there is no need for superfluous variables.

What do I need to do to get Internet Explorer 8 to accept a self signed certificate?

It's not enough to install the certificate itself, instead you need to install the root certificate of your certification authority. Say if you use Win Server's Certificate Services, its root certificate which was created when CS was installed on that server is the one to be installed. It must be installed to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" as described earlier.

How do you uninstall the package manager "pip", if installed from source?

That way you haven't installed pip, you installed just the easy_install i.e. setuptools.

First you should remove all the packages you installed with easy_install using (see uninstall):

easy_install -m PackageName

This includes pip if you installed it using easy_install pip.

After this you remove the setuptools following the instructions from here:

If setuptools package is found in your global site-packages directory, you may safely remove the following file/directory:

setuptools-*.egg

If setuptools is installed in some other location such as the user site directory (eg: ~/.local, ~/Library/Python or %APPDATA%), then you may safely remove the following files:

pkg_resources.py
easy_install.py
setuptools/
setuptools-*.egg-info/

WPF MVVM: How to close a window

There is a useful behavior for this task which doesn't break MVVM, a Behavior, introduced with Expression Blend 3, to allow the View to hook into commands defined completely within the ViewModel.

This behavior demonstrates a simple technique for allowing the ViewModel to manage the closing events of the View in a Model-View-ViewModel application.

This allows you to hook up a behavior in your View (UserControl) which will provide control over the control's Window, allowing the ViewModel to control whether the window can be closed via standard ICommands.

How to upgrade safely php version in wamp server

WAMP server generally provide addond for different php/mysql versions. However you mentioned you have downloaded latest wamp server. As of now, latest Wamp server v2.5 provide PHP version 5.5.12

So you need to upgrade it manually as follow:

  1. Download binaries on php.net
  2. Extract all files in a new folder : C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.27/
  3. Copy the wampserver.conf from another php folder (like php/php5.5.12/) to the new folder
  4. Rename php.ini-development file to phpForApache.ini
  5. Done ! Restart WampServer (>Right Mouseclick on trayicon >Exit)

Although not asked, I'd recommend to vagrant/puppet or docker for local development. Check puphpet.com for details. It has slight learning curve but it will give you much better control of different versions of every tool.

How to get current screen width in CSS?

Based on your requirement i think you are wanted to put dynamic fields in CSS file, however that is not possible as CSS is a static language. However you can simulate the behaviour by using Angular.

Please refer to the below example. I'm here showing only one component.

login.component.html

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

    @Component({
      selector: 'app-login',
      templateUrl: './login.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./login.component.css']
    })
    export class LoginComponent implements OnInit {

      cssProperty:any;
      constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) { 
        console.log(window.innerWidth);
        console.log(window.innerHeight);
        this.cssProperty = 'position:fixed;top:' + Math.floor(window.innerHeight/3.5) + 'px;left:' + Math.floor(window.innerWidth/3) + 'px;';
        this.cssProperty = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustStyle(this.cssProperty);
      }

    ngOnInit() {

      }

    }

login.component.ts

<div class="home">
    <div class="container" [style]="cssProperty">
        <div class="card">
            <div class="card-header">Login</div>
            <div class="card-body">Please login</div>
            <div class="card-footer">Login</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

login.component.css

.card {
    max-width: 400px;
}
.card .card-body {
    min-height: 150px;
}
.home {
    background-color: rgba(171, 172, 173, 0.575);
}

How to search a string in a single column (A) in excel using VBA

Below are two methods that are superior to looping. Both handle a "no-find" case.

  1. The VBA equivalent of a normal function VLOOKUP with error-handling if the variable doesn't exist (INDEX/MATCH may be a better route than VLOOKUP, ie if your two columns A and B were in reverse order, or were far apart)
  2. VBAs FIND method (matching a whole string in column A given I use the xlWhole argument)

    Sub Method1()
    Dim strSearch As String
    Dim strOut As String
    Dim bFailed As Boolean
    
    strSearch = "trees"
    
    On Error Resume Next
    strOut = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(strSearch, Range("A:B"), 2, False)
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then bFailed = True
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If Not bFailed Then
    MsgBox "corresponding value is " & vbNewLine & strOut
    Else
    MsgBox strSearch & " not found"
    End If
    End Sub
    
    Sub Method2()
        Dim rng1 As Range
        Dim strSearch As String
        strSearch = "trees"
        Set rng1 = Range("A:A").Find(strSearch, , xlValues, xlWhole)
        If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "Find has matched " & strSearch & vbNewLine & "corresponding cell is " & rng1.Offset(0, 1)
        Else
            MsgBox strSearch & " not found"
        End If
    End Sub
    

Docker-Compose can't connect to Docker Daemon

I had this problem and did not want to mess things up using sudo. When investigating, I tried to get some info :

docker info

Surprinsingly, I had the following error :

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.38/info: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

For some reason I did not have enough privileges, the following command solved my problem :

sudo chown $USER /var/run/docker.sock

Et voilà !

X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM in firefox and chrome

I posted this question and never saw the feedback (which came in several months after, it seems :).

As Kinlan mentioned, ALLOW-FROM is not supported in all browsers as an X-Frame-Options value.

The solution was to branch based on browser type. For IE, ship X-Frame-Options. For everyone else, ship X-Content-Security-Policy.

Hope this helps, and sorry for taking so long to close the loop!

How to trim white spaces of array values in php

function generateRandomString($length = 10) {
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    $charactersLength = strlen($characters);
    $randomString = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $randomString .= $characters[rand(0, $charactersLength - 1)];
    }
    return $randomString;
}

function generateRandomSpaces() {
    $output = '';
    $i = rand(1, 10);
    for ($j = 0; $j <= $i; $j++) {
        $output .= " ";
    }   

    return $output;
}

// Generating an array to test
$array = [];
for ($i = 0; $i <= 1000; $i++) {
    $array[] = generateRandomSpaces() . generateRandomString(10) . generateRandomSpaces(); 
}

// ARRAY MAP
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
    $trimmed_array=array_map('trim',$array);
}
$time = (microtime(true) - $start);
echo "Array map: " . $time . " seconds\n";

// ARRAY WALK
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
    array_walk($array, 'trim');
}
$time = (microtime(true) - $start);
echo "Array walk    : " . $time . " seconds\n"; 

// FOREACH
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
    foreach ($array as $index => $elem) {
        $array[$index] = trim($elem);
    }
}
$time = (microtime(true) - $start);
echo "Foreach: " . $time . " seconds\n";

// FOR
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
    for ($j = 0; $j < count($array) - 1; $j++) { 
        $array[$j] = trim($array[$j]);
    }
}
$time = (microtime(true) - $start);
echo "For: " . $time . " seconds\n";

The output of the code above is:

Array map: 8.6775720119476 seconds
Array walk: 10.423238992691 seconds
Foreach: 7.3502039909363 seconds
For: 9.8266389369965 seconds

This values of course may change but I would say foreach is the best option.

swift UITableView set rowHeight

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
            var height:CGFloat = CGFloat()
            if indexPath.row == 1 {
                height = 150
            }
            else {
                height = 50
            }

            return height
        }

Why do I need 'b' to encode a string with Base64?

If the string is Unicode the easiest way is:

import base64                                                        

a = base64.b64encode(bytes(u'complex string: ñáéíóúÑ', "utf-8"))

# a: b'Y29tcGxleCBzdHJpbmc6IMOxw6HDqcOtw7PDusOR'

b = base64.b64decode(a).decode("utf-8", "ignore")                    

print(b)
# b :complex string: ñáéíóúÑ

What is the most compatible way to install python modules on a Mac?

When you install modules with MacPorts, it does not go into Apple's version of Python. Instead those modules are installed onto the MacPorts version of Python selected.

You can change which version of Python is used by default using a mac port called python_select. instructions here.

Also, there's easy_install. Which will use python to install python modules.

ERROR Error: StaticInjectorError(AppModule)[UserformService -> HttpClient]:

There are two possible reasons 1. If you are using HttpClient in your service you need to import HttpClientModule in your module file and mention it in the imports array.

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
  1. If you are using normal Http in your services you need to import HttpModule in your module file and mention it in the imports array.

    import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http'

By default, this is not available in the angular then you need to install @angular/http

If you wish you can use both HttpClientModule and HttpModule in your project.

The system cannot find the file specified. in Visual Studio

The code should be :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout << "Hello World";
    return 0;
}

Or maybe :

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello World";
    return 0;
}

Just a quick note: I have deleted the system command, because I heard it's not a good practice to use it. (but of course, you can add it for this kind of program)

Install-Module : The term 'Install-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

You are not passing the variable correctly. One fast solution is to make a global variable like this:

var global_json_data;
$(document).ready(function() {
    var json_source = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/0ApL1zT2P00q5dG1wOUMzSlNVV3VRV2pwQ2Fnbmt3M0E/od7/public/basic?alt=json";
    var string_data ="";
    var json_data = $.ajax({
        dataType: 'json', // Return JSON
        url: json_source,
        success: function(data){
            var data_obj = [];
            for (i=0; i<data.feed.entry.length; i++){
                var el = {'key': data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 'value': '<p><a href="'+data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a></p>'};
                data_obj.push(el)};

            console.log("data grabbed");  
            global_json_data =   data_obj;

            return data_obj;


        },      

        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ 
                        $('#results_box').html('<h2>Something went wrong!</h2><p><b>' + textStatus  + '</b> ' + errorThrown  + '</p>');
        }
    }); 

    $(':submit').click(function(event){
        var json_data = global_json_data;
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log(json_data.length);

        //function
        if ($('#place').val() !=''){
            var copy_string = $('#place').val();
            var converted_string = copy_string;
            for (i=0; i<json_data.length; i++){
                //console_log(data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']);
                converted_string = converted_string.replace(json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 
                    '<a href="'+json_data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a>');
            }  
            $('#results_box').text(converted_string).html();
        }
    });

});//document ready end 

Sorting table rows according to table header column using javascript or jquery

You might want to see this page:
http://blog.niklasottosson.com/?p=1914

I guess you can go something like this:

DEMO:http://jsfiddle.net/g9eL6768/2/

HTML:

 <table id="mytable"><thead>
  <tr>
     <th id="sl">S.L.</th>
     <th id="nm">name</th>
  </tr>
   ....

JS:

//  sortTable(f,n)
//  f : 1 ascending order, -1 descending order
//  n : n-th child(<td>) of <tr>
function sortTable(f,n){
    var rows = $('#mytable tbody  tr').get();

    rows.sort(function(a, b) {

        var A = getVal(a);
        var B = getVal(b);

        if(A < B) {
            return -1*f;
        }
        if(A > B) {
            return 1*f;
        }
        return 0;
    });

    function getVal(elm){
        var v = $(elm).children('td').eq(n).text().toUpperCase();
        if($.isNumeric(v)){
            v = parseInt(v,10);
        }
        return v;
    }

    $.each(rows, function(index, row) {
        $('#mytable').children('tbody').append(row);
    });
}
var f_sl = 1; // flag to toggle the sorting order
var f_nm = 1; // flag to toggle the sorting order
$("#sl").click(function(){
    f_sl *= -1; // toggle the sorting order
    var n = $(this).prevAll().length;
    sortTable(f_sl,n);
});
$("#nm").click(function(){
    f_nm *= -1; // toggle the sorting order
    var n = $(this).prevAll().length;
    sortTable(f_nm,n);
});

Hope this helps.

open resource with relative path in Java

When you use 'getResource' on a Class, a relative path is resolved based on the package the Class is in. When you use 'getResource' on a ClassLoader, a relative path is resolved based on the root folder.

If you use an absolute path, both 'getResource' methods will start at the root folder.

Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in

For me work, first review

   php -m
   php -version

Later install the extension

apt-get update 
apt-get install php7.2-zip
systemctl restart apache2

Why use @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

Bundling is all about compressing several JavaScript or stylesheets files without any formatting (also referred as minified) into a single file for saving bandwith and number of requests to load a page.

As example you could create your own bundle:

bundles.Add(New ScriptBundle("~/bundles/mybundle").Include(
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-ui-1.8.16.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.validate.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js"))

And render it like this:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/mybundle")

One more advantage of @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/mybundle") over the native <script src="~/bundles/mybundle" /> is that @Scripts.Render() will respect the web.config debug setting:

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true|false" />

If debug="true" then it will instead render individual script tags for each source script, without any minification.

For stylesheets you will have to use a StyleBundle and @Styles.Render().

Instead of loading each script or style with a single request (with script or link tags), all files are compressed into a single JavaScript or stylesheet file and loaded together.

Get hours difference between two dates in Moment Js

 var start=moment(1541243900000);
 var end=moment(1541243942882);
 var duration = moment.duration(end.diff(startTime));
 var hours = duration.asHours();

As you can see, the start and end date needed to be moment objects for this method to work.

Can I pass variable to select statement as column name in SQL Server

You can't use variable names to bind columns or other system objects, you need dynamic sql

DECLARE @value varchar(10)  
SET @value = 'intStep'  
DECLARE @sqlText nvarchar(1000); 

SET @sqlText = N'SELECT ' + @value + ' FROM dbo.tblBatchDetail'
Exec (@sqlText)

HTML5 Canvas background image

Make sure that in case your image is not in the dom, and you get it from local directory or server, you should wait for the image to load and just after that to draw it on the canvas.

something like that:

function drawBgImg() {
    let bgImg = new Image();
    bgImg.src = '/images/1.jpg';
    bgImg.onload = () => {
        gCtx.drawImage(bgImg, 0, 0, gElCanvas.width, gElCanvas.height);
    }
}

In Perl, how can I read an entire file into a string?

Another possible way:

open my $fh, '<', "filename";
read $fh, my $string, -s $fh;
close $fh;

How to fix "Attempted relative import in non-package" even with __init__.py

You can use import components.core directly if you append the current directory to sys.path:

if __name__ == '__main__' and __package__ is None:
    from os import sys, path
    sys.path.append(path.dirname(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__))))

'float' vs. 'double' precision

A float has 23 bits of precision, and a double has 52.

CRON command to run URL address every 5 minutes

The other advantage of using curl is that you also can keep the HTTP way of sending parameters to your script if you need to, by using $_GET, $_POST etc like this:

*/5 * * * * curl --request GET 'http://exemple.com/path/check.php?param1=1&param2=2'

What does [object Object] mean?

[object Object] is the default string representation of a JavaScript Object. It is what you'll get if you run this code:

alert({}); // [object Object]

You can change the default representation by overriding the toString method like so:

var o = {toString: function(){ return "foo" }};
alert(o); // foo

How to Upload Image file in Retrofit 2

For those with an inputStream, you can upload inputStream using Multipart.

@Multipart
@POST("pictures")
suspend fun uploadPicture(
        @Part part: MultipartBody.Part
): NetworkPicture

Then in perhaps your repository class:

suspend fun upload(inputStream: InputStream) {
   val part = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData(
         "pic", "myPic", RequestBody.create(
              MediaType.parse("image/*"),
              inputStream.readBytes()
          )
   )
   uploadPicture(part)
}

To get an input stream you can do something like so.

In your fragment or activity, you need to create an image picker that returns an InputStream. The advantage of an InputStream is that it can be used for files on the cloud like google drive and dropbox.

Call pickImage() from a View.OnClickListener or onOptionsItemSelected.

    private fun pickImage() {
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
        intent.type = "image/*"
        startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_PHOTO)
    }

    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
        if (requestCode == PICK_PHOTO && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            try {
                data?.let {
                    val inputStream: InputStream? =
                        context?.contentResolver?.openInputStream(it.data!!)
                    inputStream?.let { stream ->
                        itemViewModel.uploadPicture(stream)
                    }
                }
            } catch (e: FileNotFoundException) {
                e.printStackTrace()
            }
        }
    }

    companion object {
        const val PICK_PHOTO = 1
    }

How to print a query string with parameter values when using Hibernate

Log4Jdbc plugin would be best for your requirement. It shows following-

1. Complete SQL query being hit to the db
2. Parameter values being passed to the query
3. Execution time taken by each query

Refer below link to configure Log4Jdbc-

              </form>

In your componenet.ts file declare array selected files like this

selectedFiles = [];

// array of selected files

onFileSelected(event, type) {
    this.selectedFiles.push({ type, file: event.target.files[0] });
  }

//in the upload files method, append your form data like this

uploadFiles() {
    const formData = new FormData(); 

    this.selectedFiles.forEach(file => {
      formData.append(file.type, file.file, file.file.name); 
    });
    formData.append("driverid", this.driverid);

    this.driverService.uploadDriverDetails(formData).subscribe(
      res => {
        console.log(res); 

      },
      error => console.log(error.message)
    );
  }

NOTE: I hope this solution works for you friends

stopPropagation vs. stopImmediatePropagation

event.stopPropagation() allows other handlers on the same element to be executed, while event.stopImmediatePropagation() prevents every event from running. For example, see below jQuery code block.

$("p").click(function(event)
{ event.stopImmediatePropagation();
});
$("p").click(function(event)
{ // This function won't be executed 
$(this).css("color", "#fff7e3");
});

If event.stopPropagation was used in previous example, then the next click event on p element which changes the css will fire, but in case event.stopImmediatePropagation(), the next p click event will not fire.

How to Set focus to first text input in a bootstrap modal after shown

The usual code (below) does not work for me:

$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
  $('#myInput').focus()
})

I found the solution:

$('body').on('shown.bs.modal', '#myModal', function () {
    $('input:visible:enabled:first', this).focus();
})

How do I keep track of pip-installed packages in an Anaconda (Conda) environment?

You can start by installing the below given command in the conda environment:

conda install pip

Followed by installing all pip packages you need in the environment.

After installing all the conda and pip packages to export the environment use:

conda env export -n <env-name> > environment.yml

This will create the required file in the folder

Excel plot time series frequency with continuous xaxis

I would like to compliment Ram Narasimhans answer with some tips I found on an Excel blog

Non-uniformly distributed data can be plotted in excel in

  • X Y (Scatter Plots)
  • Linear plots with Date axis
    • These don't take time into account, only days.
    • This method is quite cumbersome as it requires translating your time units to days, months, or years.. then change the axis labels... Not Recommended

Just like Ram Narasimhan suggested, to have the points centered you will want the mid point but you don't need to move to a numeric format, you can stay in the time format.

1- Add the center point to your data series

+---------------+-------+------+
|    Time       | Time  | Freq |
+---------------+-------+------+
| 08:00 - 09:00 | 08:30 |  12  |
| 09:00 - 10:00 | 09:30 |  13  |
| 10:00 - 11:00 | 10:30 |  10  |
| 13:00 - 14:00 | 13:30 |   5  |
| 14:00 - 15:00 | 14:30 |  14  |
+---------------+-------+------+

2- Create a Scatter Plot

3- Excel allows you to specify time values for the axis options. Time values are a parts per 1 of a 24-hour day. Therefore if we want to 08:00 to 15:00, then we Set the Axis options to:

  • Minimum : Fix : 0.33333
  • Maximum : Fix : 0.625
  • Major unit : Fix : 0.041667

Line Scatter Plot


Alternative Display:

Make the points turn into columns:

To be able to represent these points as bars instead of just point we need to draw disjoint lines. Here is a way to go about getting this type of chart.

1- You're going to need to add several rows where we draw the line and disjoint the data

+-------+------+
| Time  | Freq |
+-------+------+
| 08:30 |   0  |
| 08:30 |  12  |
|       |      |
| 09:30 |   0  |
| 09:30 |  13  |
|       |      |
| 10:30 |   0  |
| 10:30 |  10  |
|       |      |
| 13:30 |   0  |
| 13:30 |   5  |
|       |      |
| 14:30 |   0  |
| 14:30 |  14  |
+-------+------+

2- Plot an X Y (Scatter) Chart with Lines.

3- Now you can tweak the data series to have a fatter line, no markers, etc.. to get a bar/column type chart with non-uniformly distributed data.

PopupWindow $BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid

Try to show the pop like below

findViewById(R.id.main_layout).post(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            mPopupWindow.showAtLocation(findViewById(R.id.main_layout), Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);

            });
        }
    });

Passing std::string by Value or Reference

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

From this article:

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

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

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

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

"

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

Get Android shared preferences value in activity/normal class

You use uninstall the app and change the sharedPreferences name then run this application. I think it will resolve the issue.

A sample code to retrieve values from sharedPreferences you can use the following set of code,

SharedPreferences shared = getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE);
String channel = (shared.getString(keyValue, ""));

Change Name of Import in Java, or import two classes with the same name

Android - Dynamically Add Views into View

// Parent layout
LinearLayout parentLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout);

// Layout inflater
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = getLayoutInflater();
View view;

for (int i = 1; i < 101; i++){
    // Add the text layout to the parent layout
    view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.text_layout, parentLayout, false);

    // In order to get the view we have to use the new view with text_layout in it
    TextView textView = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.text);
    textView.setText("Row " + i);

    // Add the text view to the parent layout
    parentLayout.addView(textView);
}

Loading state button in Bootstrap 3

You need to detect the click from js side, your HTML remaining same. Note: this method is deprecated since v3.5.5 and removed in v4.

$("button").click(function() {
    var $btn = $(this);
    $btn.button('loading');
    // simulating a timeout
    setTimeout(function () {
        $btn.button('reset');
    }, 1000);
});

Also, don't forget to load jQuery and Bootstrap js (based on jQuery) file in your page.

How to map and remove nil values in Ruby

each_with_object is probably the cleanest way to go here:

new_items = items.each_with_object([]) do |x, memo|
    ret = process_x(x)
    memo << ret unless ret.nil?
end

In my opinion, each_with_object is better than inject/reduce in conditional cases because you don't have to worry about the return value of the block.

.aspx vs .ashx MAIN difference

Page is a special case handler.

Generic Web handler (*.ashx, extension based processor) is the default HTTP handler for all Web handlers that do not have a UI and that include the @WebHandler directive.

ASP.NET page handler (*.aspx) is the default HTTP handler for all ASP.NET pages.

Among the built-in HTTP handlers there are also Web service handler (*.asmx) and Trace handler (trace.axd)

MSDN says:

An ASP.NET HTTP handler is the process (frequently referred to as the "endpoint") that runs in response to a request made to an ASP.NET Web application. The most common handler is an ASP.NET page handler that processes .aspx files. When users request an .aspx file, the request is processed by the page through the page handler.

The image below illustrates this: request pipe line

As to your second question:

Does ashx handle more connections than aspx?

Don't think so (but for sure, at least not less than).

On postback, how can I check which control cause postback in Page_Init event

If you need to check which control caused the postback, then you could just directly compare ["__EVENTTARGET"] to the control you are interested in:

if (specialControl.UniqueID == Page.Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"])
{
    /*do special stuff*/
}

This assumes you're just going to be comparing the result from any GetPostBackControl(...) extension method anyway. It may not handle EVERY situation, but if it works it is simpler. Plus, you won't scour the page looking for a control you didn't care about to begin with.

Could not load file or assembly System.Net.Http, Version=4.0.0.0 with ASP.NET (MVC 4) Web API OData Prerelease

Went into nuget package manager and updated my packages. Now it works. The main one I updated was the Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core. May need to do this with both projects to sync up the proper references.

How do I loop through children objects in javascript?

if tableFields is an array , you can loop through elements as following :

for (item in tableFields); {
     console.log(tableFields[item]);
}

by the way i saw a logical error in you'r code.just remove ; from end of for loop

right here :

for (item in tableFields); { .

this will cause you'r loop to do just nothing.and the following line will be executed only once :

// Do stuff

How to generate UML diagrams (especially sequence diagrams) from Java code?

There is a Free tool named binarydoc which can generate UML Sequence Diagram, or Control Flow Graph (CFG) from the bytecode (instead of source code) of a Java method.

Here is an sample diagram binarydoc generated for the java method java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.getInputStream:

  • Control Flow Graph of method java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.getInputStream:

C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments

There are some C++11 solutions for finding the number of arguments at compile-time, but I'm surprised to see that no one has suggested anything so simple as:

#define VA_COUNT(...) detail::va_count(__VA_ARGS__)

namespace detail
{
    template<typename ...Args>
    constexpr std::size_t va_count(Args&&...) { return sizeof...(Args); }
}

This doesn't require inclusion of the <tuple> header either.

SQL order string as number

This will handle negative numbers, fractions, string, everything:

Border around tr element doesn't show?

Add this to the stylesheet:

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

JSFiddle.

The reason why it behaves this way is actually described pretty well in the specification:

There are two distinct models for setting borders on table cells in CSS. One is most suitable for so-called separated borders around individual cells, the other is suitable for borders that are continuous from one end of the table to the other.

... and later, for collapse setting:

In the collapsing border model, it is possible to specify borders that surround all or part of a cell, row, row group, column, and column group.

Remove ':hover' CSS behavior from element

I would use two classes. Keep your test class and add a second class called testhover which you only add to those you want to hover - alongside the test class. This isn't directly what you asked but without more context it feels like the best solution and is possibly the cleanest and simplest way of doing it.

Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.test {  border: 0px; }_x000D_
.testhover:hover {  border: 1px solid red; }
_x000D_
<div class="test"> blah </div>_x000D_
<div class="test"> blah </div>_x000D_
<div class="test testhover"> blah </div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to properly create composite primary keys - MYSQL

Composite primary keys are what you want where you want to create a many to many relationship with a fact table. For example, you might have a holiday rental package that includes a number of properties in it. On the other hand, the property could also be available as a part of a number of rental packages, either on its own or with other properties. In this scenario, you establish the relationship between the property and the rental package with a property/package fact table. The association between a property and a package will be unique, you will only ever join using property_id with the property table and/or package_id with the package table. Each relationship is unique and an auto_increment key is redundant as it won't feature in any other table. Hence defining the composite key is the answer.

Compare given date with today

One caution based on my experience, if your purpose only involves date then be careful to include the timestamp. For example, say today is "2016-11-09". Comparison involving timestamp will nullify the logic here. Example,

//  input
$var = "2016-11-09 00:00:00.0";

//  check if date is today or in the future
if ( time() <= strtotime($var) ) 
{
    //  This seems right, but if it's ONLY date you are after
    //  then the code might treat $var as past depending on
    //  the time.
}

The code above seems right, but if it's ONLY the date you want to compare, then, the above code is not the right logic. Why? Because, time() and strtotime() will provide include timestamp. That is, even though both dates fall on the same day, but difference in time will matter. Consider the example below:

//  plain date string
$input = "2016-11-09";

Because the input is plain date string, using strtotime() on $input will assume that it's the midnight of 2016-11-09. So, running time() anytime after midnight will always treat $input as past, even though they are on the same day.

To fix this, you can simply code, like this:

if (date("Y-m-d") <= $input)
{
    echo "Input date is equal to or greater than today.";
}

How do I loop through or enumerate a JavaScript object?

If you want to iterate only over properties use one of the answers above, however if you want to iterate over everything including functions, then you might want to use Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj)

_x000D_
_x000D_
for (let o of Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Math)) {_x000D_
  console.log(o);_x000D_
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

I sometimes use this to fast test all functions on objects with simple inputs and outputs.

How do you run `apt-get` in a dockerfile behind a proxy?

As Tim Potter pointed out, setting proxy in dockerfile is horrible. When building the image, you add proxy for your corporate network but you may be deploying in cloud or a DMZ where there is no need for proxy or the proxy server is different.

Also, you cannot share your image with others outside your corporate n/w.

What is the default lifetime of a session?

it depends on your php settings...
use phpinfo() and take a look at the session chapter. There are values like session.gc_maxlifetime and session.cache_expire and session.cookie_lifetime which affects the sessions lifetime

EDIT: it's like Martin write before

Increment counter with loop

what led me to this page is that I set within a page then the inside of an included page I did the increment

and here is the problem

so to solve such a problem, simply use scope="request" when you declare the variable or the increment

//when you set the variale add scope="request"
<c:set var="nFilters" value="${0}" scope="request"/>
//the increment, it can be happened inside an included page
<c:set var="nFilters" value="${nFilters + 1}"  scope="request" />

hope this saves your time

jQuery Validation plugin: validate check box

You had several issues with your code.

1) Missing a closing brace, }, within your rules.

2) In this case, there is no reason to use a function for the required rule. By default, the plugin can handle checkbox and radio inputs just fine, so using true is enough. However, this will simply do the same logic as in your original function and verify that at least one is checked.

3) If you also want only a maximum of two to be checked, then you'll need to apply the maxlength rule.

4) The messages option was missing the rule specification. It will work, but the one custom message would apply to all rules on the same field.

5) If a name attribute contains brackets, you must enclose it within quotes.

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/K6Wvk/

$(document).ready(function () {

    $('#formid').validate({ // initialize the plugin
        rules: {
            'test[]': {
                required: true,
                maxlength: 2
            }
        },
        messages: {
            'test[]': {
                required: "You must check at least 1 box",
                maxlength: "Check no more than {0} boxes"
            }
        }
    });

});

C++ Best way to get integer division and remainder

On x86 at least, g++ 4.6.1 just uses IDIVL and gets both from that single instruction.

C++ code:

void foo(int a, int b, int* c, int* d)
{
  *c = a / b;
  *d = a % b;
}

x86 code:

__Z3fooiiPiS_:
LFB4:
    movq    %rdx, %r8
    movl    %edi, %edx
    movl    %edi, %eax
    sarl    $31, %edx
    idivl   %esi
    movl    %eax, (%r8)
    movl    %edx, (%rcx)

MySQL vs MongoDB 1000 reads

man,,, the answer is that you're basically testing PHP and not a database.

don't bother iterating the results, whether commenting out the print or not. there's a chunk of time.

   foreach ($cursor as $obj)
    {
        //echo $obj["thread_title"] . "<br><Br>";
    }

while the other chunk is spend yacking up a bunch of rand numbers.

function get_15_random_numbers()
{
    $numbers = array();
    for($i=1;$i<=15;$i++)
    {
        $numbers[] = mt_rand(1, 20000000) ;

    }
    return $numbers;
}

then theres a major difference b/w implode and in.

and finally what is going on here. looks like creating a connection each time, thus its testing the connection time plus the query time.

$m = new Mongo();

vs

$db = new AQLDatabase();

so your 101% faster might turn out to be 1000% faster for the underlying query stripped of jazz.

urghhh.

Javascript : natural sort of alphanumerical strings

To compare values you can use a comparing method-

function naturalSorter(as, bs){
    var a, b, a1, b1, i= 0, n, L,
    rx=/(\.\d+)|(\d+(\.\d+)?)|([^\d.]+)|(\.\D+)|(\.$)/g;
    if(as=== bs) return 0;
    a= as.toLowerCase().match(rx);
    b= bs.toLowerCase().match(rx);
    L= a.length;
    while(i<L){
        if(!b[i]) return 1;
        a1= a[i],
        b1= b[i++];
        if(a1!== b1){
            n= a1-b1;
            if(!isNaN(n)) return n;
            return a1>b1? 1:-1;
        }
    }
    return b[i]? -1:0;
}

But for speed in sorting an array, rig the array before sorting, so you only have to do lower case conversions and the regular expression once instead of in every step through the sort.

function naturalSort(ar, index){
    var L= ar.length, i, who, next, 
    isi= typeof index== 'number', 
    rx=  /(\.\d+)|(\d+(\.\d+)?)|([^\d.]+)|(\.(\D+|$))/g;
    function nSort(aa, bb){
        var a= aa[0], b= bb[0], a1, b1, i= 0, n, L= a.length;
        while(i<L){
            if(!b[i]) return 1;
            a1= a[i];
            b1= b[i++];
            if(a1!== b1){
                n= a1-b1;
                if(!isNaN(n)) return n;
                return a1>b1? 1: -1;
            }
        }
        return b[i]!= undefined? -1: 0;
    }
    for(i= 0; i<L; i++){
        who= ar[i];
        next= isi? ar[i][index] || '': who;
        ar[i]= [String(next).toLowerCase().match(rx), who];
    }
    ar.sort(nSort);
    for(i= 0; i<L; i++){
        ar[i]= ar[i][1];
    }
}

Intellij JAVA_HOME variable

Bit counter-intuitive, but you must first setup a SDK for Java projects. On the bottom right of the IntelliJ welcome screen, select 'Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure'.

The Project tab on the left will show that you have no SDK selected:

Therefore, you must click the 'New...' button on the right hand side of the dropdown and point it to your JDK. After that, you can go back to the import screen and it should be populated with your JAVA_HOME variable, providing you have this set.

Execute Insert command and return inserted Id in Sql

USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
IF OBJECT_ID(N't6', N'U') IS NOT NULL 
    DROP TABLE t6;
GO
IF OBJECT_ID(N't7', N'U') IS NOT NULL 
    DROP TABLE t7;
GO
CREATE TABLE t6(id int IDENTITY);
CREATE TABLE t7(id int IDENTITY(100,1));
GO
CREATE TRIGGER t6ins ON t6 FOR INSERT 
AS
BEGIN
   INSERT t7 DEFAULT VALUES
END;
GO
--End of trigger definition

SELECT id FROM t6;
--IDs empty.

SELECT id FROM t7;
--ID is empty.

--Do the following in Session 1
INSERT t6 DEFAULT VALUES;
SELECT @@IDENTITY;
/*Returns the value 100. This was inserted by the trigger.*/

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY();
/* Returns the value 1. This was inserted by the 
INSERT statement two statements before this query.*/

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('t7');
/* Returns value inserted into t7, that is in the trigger.*/

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('t6');
/* Returns value inserted into t6. This was the INSERT statement four statements before this query.*/

-- Do the following in Session 2.
SELECT @@IDENTITY;
/* Returns NULL because there has been no INSERT action 
up to this point in this session.*/

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY();
/* Returns NULL because there has been no INSERT action 
up to this point in this scope in this session.*/

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('t7');
/* Returns the last value inserted into t7.*/

SQL Query for Student mark functionality

My attempt - I'd start with the max mark and build from there

Schema:

CREATE TABLE Student (
  StudentId int,
  Name nvarchar(30),
  Details nvarchar(30)
)
CREATE TABLE Subject (
  SubjectId int,
  Name nvarchar(30)
)
CREATE TABLE Marks (
  StudentId int,
  SubjectId int,
  Mark int
)

Data:

INSERT INTO Student (StudentId, Name, Details) 
VALUES (1,'Alfred','AA'), (2,'Betty','BB'), (3,'Chris','CC')

INSERT INTO Subject (SubjectId, Name)
VALUES (1,'Maths'), (2, 'Science'), (3, 'English')

INSERT INTO Marks (StudentId, SubjectId, Mark)
VALUES 
(1,1,61),(1,2,75),(1,3,87),
(2,1,82),(2,2,64),(2,3,77),
(3,1,82),(3,2,83),(3,3,67)
GO

My query would have been:

;WITH MaxMarks AS (
  SELECT SubjectId, MAX(Mark) as MaxMark
    FROM Marks
    GROUP BY SubjectId
 )
SELECT s.Name as [StudentName], sub.Name AS [SubjectName],m.Mark
FROM MaxMarks mm
INNER JOIN Marks m 
ON m.SubjectId = mm.SubjectId 
AND m.Mark = mm.MaxMark
INNER JOIN Student s
ON s.StudentId = m.StudentId
INNER JOIN Subject sub
ON sub.SubjectId = mm.SubjectId

SQL Fiddle Example

  1. Find the max mark for each subject
  2. Join Marks, Student and Subject to find the relevant details of that highest mark

This also take care of duplicate students with the highest mark

Results:

STUDENTNAME SUBJECTNAME     MARK
Alfred  English     87
Betty   Maths           82
Chris   Maths           82
Chris   Science     83

How do I fix an "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required." error in Visual C# 2010 Express?

I just right-clicked, and opened with Visual Studio XXXX (in my case 2015). Then save it. Done.

"Are you missing an assembly reference?" compile error - Visual Studio

In my case, I had to change the Copy Local setting to true (right-click assembly in solution explorer, select properties, locate and change value of Copy Local property). Once this setting was changed, publication of my WCF service copied the file to the server and the error went away.

ListAGG in SQLSERVER

This might be useful to someone also ..

i.e. For a data analyst and data profiling type of purposes ..(i.e. not grouped by) ..

Prior to the SQL*Server 2017 String_agg function existence ..

(i.e. returns just one row ..)

select distinct
SUBSTRING (
stuff(( select distinct ',' + [FieldB] from tablename order by 1 FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
,1,0,'' ) 
,2,9999)
from 
    tablename 

e.g. returns comma separated values A,B

How to select an item from a dropdown list using Selenium WebDriver with java?

Just wrap your WebElement into Select Object as shown below

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("identifier")));

Once this is done you can select the required value in 3 ways. Consider an HTML file like this

<html>
<body>
<select id = "designation">
<option value = "MD">MD</option>
<option value = "prog"> Programmer </option>
<option value = "CEO"> CEO </option>
</option>
</select>
<body>
</html>

Now to identify dropdown do

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("designation")));

To select its option say 'Programmer' you can do

dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Programmer ");

or

dropdown.selectByIndex(1);

or

dropdown.selectByValue("prog");

Happy Coding :)

How to select the last column of dataframe

This is another way to do it. I think maybe a little more general:

df.ix[:,-1]
