Breadth First Vs Depth First

Understanding the terms:

This picture should give you the idea about the context in which the words breadth and depth are used.

Understanding Breadth and Depth


Depth-First Search:

Depth-First Search

  • Depth-first search algorithm acts as if it wants to get as far away from the starting point as quickly as possible.

  • It generally uses a Stack to remember where it should go when it reaches a dead end.

  • Rules to follow: Push first vertex A on to the Stack

    1. If possible, visit an adjacent unvisited vertex, mark it as visited, and push it on the stack.
    2. If you can’t follow Rule 1, then, if possible, pop a vertex off the stack.
    3. If you can’t follow Rule 1 or Rule 2, you’re done.
  • Java code:

    public void searchDepthFirst() {
        // Begin at vertex 0 (A)
        vertexList[0].wasVisited = true;
        displayVertex(0);
        stack.push(0);
        while (!stack.isEmpty()) {
            int adjacentVertex = getAdjacentUnvisitedVertex(stack.peek());
            // If no such vertex
            if (adjacentVertex == -1) {
                stack.pop();
            } else {
                vertexList[adjacentVertex].wasVisited = true;
                // Do something
                stack.push(adjacentVertex);
            }
        }
        // Stack is empty, so we're done, reset flags
        for (int j = 0; j < nVerts; j++)
            vertexList[j].wasVisited = false;
    }
    
  • Applications: Depth-first searches are often used in simulations of games (and game-like situations in the real world). In a typical game you can choose one of several possible actions. Each choice leads to further choices, each of which leads to further choices, and so on into an ever-expanding tree-shaped graph of possibilities.


Breadth-First Search:

Breadth-First Search

  • The breadth-first search algorithm likes to stay as close as possible to the starting point.
  • This kind of search is generally implemented using a Queue.
  • Rules to follow: Make starting Vertex A the current vertex
    1. Visit the next unvisited vertex (if there is one) that’s adjacent to the current vertex, mark it, and insert it into the queue.
    2. If you can’t carry out Rule 1 because there are no more unvisited vertices, remove a vertex from the queue (if possible) and make it the current vertex.
    3. If you can’t carry out Rule 2 because the queue is empty, you’re done.
  • Java code:

    public void searchBreadthFirst() {
        vertexList[0].wasVisited = true;
        displayVertex(0);
        queue.insert(0);
        int v2;
        while (!queue.isEmpty()) {
            int v1 = queue.remove();
            // Until it has no unvisited neighbors, get one
            while ((v2 = getAdjUnvisitedVertex(v1)) != -1) {
                vertexList[v2].wasVisited = true;
                // Do something
                queue.insert(v2);
            }
        }
        // Queue is empty, so we're done, reset flags
        for (int j = 0; j < nVerts; j++) 
            vertexList[j].wasVisited = false;
    }
    
  • Applications: Breadth-first search first finds all the vertices that are one edge away from the starting point, then all the vertices that are two edges away, and so on. This is useful if you’re trying to find the shortest path from the starting vertex to a given vertex.

Hopefully that should be enough for understanding the Breadth-First and Depth-First searches. For further reading I would recommend the Graphs chapter from an excellent data structures book by Robert Lafore.

Python: Maximum recursion depth exceeded

You can increment the stack depth allowed - with this, deeper recursive calls will be possible, like this:

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(10000) # 10000 is an example, try with different values

... But I'd advise you to first try to optimize your code, for instance, using iteration instead of recursion.

What is the difference between Python and IPython?

There are few differences between Python and IPython but they are only the interpretation of few syntax like the few mentioned by @Ryan Chase but deep inside the true flavor of Python is maintained even in the Ipython.

The best part of the IPython is the IPython notebook. You can put all your work into a notebook like script, image files, etc. But with base Python, you can only make the script in a file and execute it.

At start, you need to understand that the IPython is developed with the intention of supporting rich media and Python script in a single integrated container.

`export const` vs. `export default` in ES6

export default affects the syntax when importing the exported "thing", when allowing to import, whatever has been exported, by choosing the name in the import itself, no matter what was the name when it was exported, simply because it's marked as the "default".

A useful use case, which I like (and use), is allowing to export an anonymous function without explicitly having to name it, and only when that function is imported, it must be given a name:


Example:

Export 2 functions, one is default:

export function divide( x ){
    return x / 2;
}

// only one 'default' function may be exported and the rest (above) must be named
export default function( x ){  // <---- declared as a default function
    return x * x;
}

Import the above functions. Making up a name for the default one:

// The default function should be the first to import (and named whatever)
import square, {divide} from './module_1.js'; // I named the default "square" 

console.log( square(2), divide(2) ); // 4, 1

When the {} syntax is used to import a function (or variable) it means that whatever is imported was already named when exported, so one must import it by the exact same name, or else the import wouldn't work.


Erroneous Examples:

  1. The default function must be first to import

    import {divide}, square from './module_1.js
    
  2. divide_1 was not exported in module_1.js, thus nothing will be imported

    import {divide_1} from './module_1.js
    
  3. square was not exported in module_1.js, because {} tells the engine to explicitly search for named exports only.

    import {square} from './module_1.js

What is the syntax to insert one list into another list in python?

foo = [1, 2, 3]
bar = [4, 5, 6]

foo.append(bar) --> [1, 2, 3, [4, 5, 6]]
foo.extend(bar) --> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

How to get and set the current web page scroll position?

I went with the HTML5 local storage solution... All my links call a function which sets this before changing window.location:

localStorage.topper = document.body.scrollTop;

and each page has this in the body's onLoad:

  if(localStorage.topper > 0){ 
    window.scrollTo(0,localStorage.topper);
  }

what is the use of "response.setContentType("text/html")" in servlet

You have to tell the browser what you are sending back so that the browser can take appropriate action like launching a PDF viewer if its a PDF that is being received or launching a video player to play video file ,rendering the HTML if the content type is simple html response, save the bytes of the response as a downloaded file, etc.

some common MIME types are text/html,application/pdf,video/quicktime,application/java,image/jpeg,application/jar etc

In your case since you are sending HTML response to client you will have to set the content type as text/html

Simplest two-way encryption using PHP

Encrypting using openssl_encrypt() The openssl_encrypt function provides a secured and easy way to encrypt your data.

In the script below, we use the AES128 encryption method, but you may consider other kind of encryption method depending on what you want to encrypt.

<?php
$message_to_encrypt = "Yoroshikune";
$secret_key = "my-secret-key";
$method = "aes128";
$iv_length = openssl_cipher_iv_length($method);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($iv_length);

$encrypted_message = openssl_encrypt($message_to_encrypt, $method, $secret_key, 0, $iv);

echo $encrypted_message;
?>

Here is an explanation of the variables used :

message_to_encrypt : the data you want to encrypt secret_key : it is your ‘password’ for encryption. Be sure not to choose something too easy and be careful not to share your secret key with other people method : the method of encryption. Here we chose AES128. iv_length and iv : prepare the encryption using bytes encrypted_message : the variable including your encrypted message

Decrypting using openssl_decrypt() Now you encrypted your data, you may need to decrypt it in order to re-use the message you first included into a variable. In order to do so, we will use the function openssl_decrypt().

<?php
$message_to_encrypt = "Yoroshikune";
$secret_key = "my-secret-key";
$method = "aes128";
$iv_length = openssl_cipher_iv_length($method);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($iv_lenght);
$encrypted_message = openssl_encrypt($message_to_encrypt, $method, $secret_key, 0, $iv);

$decrypted_message = openssl_decrypt($encrypted_message, $method, $secret_key, 0, $iv);

echo $decrypted_message;
?>

The decrypt method proposed by openssl_decrypt() is close to openssl_encrypt().

The only difference is that instead of adding $message_to_encrypt, you will need to add your already encrypted message as the first argument of openssl_decrypt().

That is all you have to do.

How to enable CORS in apache tomcat

CORS support in Tomcat is provided via a filter. You need to add this filter to your web.xml file and configure it to match your requirements. Full details on the configuration options available can be found in the Tomcat Documentation.

TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

As mentioned you might have a variable named round (of type int) in your code and removing that should get rid of the error. For Jupyter notebooks however, simply clearing a cell or deleting it might not take the variable out of scope. In such a case, you can restart your notebook to start afresh after deleting the variable.

Mime type for WOFF fonts?

Note: This answer was correct at it's time but became outdated in 2017 when RFC 8081 was released

There is no font MIME type! Thus, font/xxx is ALWAYS wrong.

Variables as commands in bash scripts

Simply don't put whole commands in variables. You'll get into a lot of trouble trying to recover quoted arguments.

Also:

  1. Avoid using all-capitals variable names in scripts. Easy way to shoot yourself on the foot.
  2. Don't use backquotes, use $(...) instead, it nests better.

#! /bin/bash

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
    echo "Usage: $(basename $0) DIRECTORY BACKUP_DIRECTORY"
    exit 1
fi

directory=$1
backup_directory=$2
current_date=$(date +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S)
backup_file="${backup_directory}/${current_date}.backup"

tar cv "$directory" | openssl des3 -salt | split -b 1024m - "$backup_file"

Refresh image with a new one at the same url

One answer is to hackishly add some get query parameter like has been suggested.

A better answer is to emit a couple of extra options in your HTTP header.

Pragma: no-cache
Expires: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 14:19:41 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate

By providing a date in the past, it won't be cached by the browser. Cache-Control was added in HTTP/1.1 and the must-revalidate tag indicates that proxies should never serve up an old image even under extenuating circumstances, and the Pragma: no-cache isn't really necessary for current modern browsers/caches but may help with some crufty broken old implementations.

How to check if anonymous object has a method?

I know this is an old question, but I am surprised that all answers ensure that the method exists and it is a function, when the OP does only want to check for existence. To know it is a function (as many have stated) you may use:

typeof myObj.prop2 === 'function'

But you may also use as a condition:

typeof myObj.prop2

Or even:

myObj.prop2

This is so because a function evaluates to true and undefined evaluates to false. So if you know that if the member exists it may only be a function, you can use:

if(myObj.prop2) {
  <we have prop2>
}

Or in an expression:

myObj.prop2 ? <exists computation> : <no prop2 computation>

Resource leak: 'in' is never closed

Okay, seriously, in many cases at least, this is actually a bug. It shows up in VS Code as well, and it's the linter noticing that you've reached the end of the enclosing scope without closing the scanner object, but not recognizing that closing all open file descriptors is part of process termination. There's no resource leak because the resources are all cleaned up at termination, and the process goes away, leaving nowhere for the resource to be held.

str_replace with array

str_replace with arrays just performs all the replacements sequentially. Use strtr instead to do them all at once:

$new_message = strtr($message, 'lmnopq...', 'abcdef...');

What is the meaning of <> in mysql query?

<> is standard ANSI SQL and stands for not equal or !=.

Hive insert query like SQL

Yes we can use Insert query in hive.

hive> create table test (id int, name string);

INSERT: INSERT...VALUES is available starting in version 0.14.

hive> insert into table test values (1,'mytest');

This is going to work for insert. We have to use values keyword.

Note: User cannot insert data into a complex datatype column (array, map, struct, union) using the INSERT INTO...VALUES clause.

Running script upon login mac

Follow this:

  • start Automator.app
  • select Application
  • click Show library in the toolbar (if hidden)
  • add Run shell script (from the Actions/Utilities)
  • copy & paste your script into the window
  • test it
  • save somewhere (for example you can make an Applications folder in your HOME, you will get an your_name.app)

  • go to System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login items

  • add this app
  • test & done ;)

EDIT:

I've recently earned a "Good answer" badge for this answer. While my solution is simple and working, the cleanest way to run any program or shell script at login time is described in @trisweb's answer, unless, you want interactivity.

With automator solution you can do things like next: automator screenshot login application

so, asking to run a script or quit the app, asking passwords, running other automator workflows at login time, conditionally run applications at login time and so on...

Where does SVN client store user authentication data?

On Windows, you can find it under.

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple
(same as below)
%APPDATA%\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple

There may be multiple files under this directory, depending upon the repos you are contributing to. You can assume this as one file for each svn server. You can open the file with any text editor and make sure you are going to delete the correct file.

Using $window or $location to Redirect in AngularJS

You have to put:

<html ng-app="urlApp" ng-controller="urlCtrl">

This way the angular function can access into "window" object

Using AngularJS date filter with UTC date

If you do use moment.js you would use the moment().utc() function to convert a moment object to UTC. You can also handle a nice format inside the controller instead of the view by using the moment().format() function. For example:

moment(myDate).utc().format('MM/DD/YYYY')

Powershell Log Off Remote Session

This is oldschool and predates PowerShell, but I have used the qwinsta / rwinsta combo for YEARS to remotely log off stale RDP sessions. It's built in on at least Windows XP and forward (possibly earlier)

Determine the session ID:

qwinsta /SERVER:<NAME>

Remove the session in question:

rwinsta <SESSION_ID> /SERVER:<NAME>

Difference between Arrays.asList(array) and new ArrayList<Integer>(Arrays.asList(array))

List<Integer> list1 = new ArrayList<Integer>(Arrays.asList(ia));  //copy

In this case, list1 is of type ArrayList.

List<Integer> list2 = Arrays.asList(ia);

Here, the list is returned as a List view, meaning it has only the methods attached to that interface. Hence why some methods are not allowed on list2.

ArrayList<Integer> list1 = new ArrayList<Integer>(Arrays.asList(ia));

Here, you ARE creating a new ArrayList. You're simply passing it a value in the constructor. This is not an example of casting. In casting, it might look more like this:

ArrayList list1 = (ArrayList)Arrays.asList(ia);

Why my regexp for hyphenated words doesn't work?

This regex should do it.

\b[a-z]+-[a-z]+\b 

\b indicates a word-boundary.

Java FileReader encoding issue

For Java 7+ doc you can use this:

BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

Here are all Charsets doc

For example if your file is in CP1252, use this method

Charset.forName("windows-1252");

Here is other canonical names for Java encodings both for IO and NIO doc

If you do not know with exactly encoding you have got in a file, you may use some third-party libs like this tool from Google this which works fairly neat.

How can you profile a Python script?

A new tool to handle profiling in Python is PyVmMonitor: http://www.pyvmmonitor.com/

It has some unique features such as

  • Attach profiler to a running (CPython) program
  • On demand profiling with Yappi integration
  • Profile on a different machine
  • Multiple processes support (multiprocessing, django...)
  • Live sampling/CPU view (with time range selection)
  • Deterministic profiling through cProfile/profile integration
  • Analyze existing PStats results
  • Open DOT files
  • Programatic API access
  • Group samples by method or line
  • PyDev integration
  • PyCharm integration

Note: it's commercial, but free for open source.

Apply function to all elements of collection through LINQ

haha, man, I just asked this question a few hours ago (kind of)...try this:

example:

someIntList.ForEach(i=>i+5);

ForEach() is one of the built in .NET methods

This will modify the list, as opposed to returning a new one.

How to make div's percentage width relative to parent div and not viewport

Specifying a non-static position, e.g., position: absolute/relative on a node means that it will be used as the reference for absolutely positioned elements within it http://jsfiddle.net/E5eEk/1/

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layout/Positioning#Positioning_contexts

We can change the positioning context — which element the absolutely positioned element is positioned relative to. This is done by setting positioning on one of the element's ancestors.

Using import fs from 'fs'

ES6 modules support in Node.js is fairly recent; even in the bleeding-edge versions, it is still experimental. With Node.js 10, you can start Node.js with the --experimental-modules flag, and it will likely work.

To import on older Node.js versions - or standard Node.js 10 - use CommonJS syntax:

const fs = require('fs');

How do I handle ImeOptions' done button click?

Try this, it should work for what you need:


editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
       //do here your stuff f
       return true;
    }
    return false;
    } 
});

Is there a way to include commas in CSV columns without breaking the formatting?

You need to quote that values.
Here is a more detailed spec.

How to determine an object's class?

checking with isinstance() would not be enough if you want to know in run time. use:

if(someObject.getClass().equals(C.class){
    // do something
}

Are list-comprehensions and functional functions faster than "for loops"?

I modified @Alisa's code and used cProfile to show why list comprehension is faster:

from functools import reduce
import datetime

def reduce_(numbers):
    return reduce(lambda sum, next: sum + next * next, numbers, 0)

def for_loop(numbers):
    a = []
    for i in numbers:
        a.append(i*2)
    a = sum(a)
    return a

def map_(numbers):
    sqrt = lambda x: x*x
    return sum(map(sqrt, numbers))

def list_comp(numbers):
    return(sum([i*i for i in numbers]))

funcs = [
        reduce_,
        for_loop,
        map_,
        list_comp
        ]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # [1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3]
    import cProfile
    for f in funcs:
        print('=' * 25)
        print("Profiling:", f.__name__)
        print('=' * 25)
        pr = cProfile.Profile()
        for i in range(10**6):
            pr.runcall(f, [1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3])
        pr.create_stats()
        pr.print_stats()

IMHO:

  • reduce and map are in general pretty slow. Not only that, using sum on the iterators that map returned is slow, compared to suming a list
  • for_loop uses append, which is of course slow to some extent
  • list-comprehension not only spent the least time building the list, it also makes sum much quicker, in contrast to map

Working Soap client example

Yes, if you can acquire any WSDL file, then you can use SoapUI to create mock service of that service complete with unit test requests. I created an example of this (using Maven) that you can try out.

cmake - find_library - custom library location

Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH by adding multiple paths (separated by semicolons and no white spaces). You can set it as an environmental variable to avoid having absolute paths in your cmake configuration files

Notice that cmake will look for config file in any of the following folders where is any of the path in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and name is the name of the library you are looking for

<prefix>/                                               (W)
<prefix>/(cmake|CMake)/                                 (W)
<prefix>/<name>*/                                       (W)
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/                         (W)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/          (U)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/                (U)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/  (U)

In your case you need to add to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH the following two paths:

D:/develop/cmake/libs/libA;D:/develop/cmake/libB

Which concurrent Queue implementation should I use in Java?

ArrayBlockingQueue has lower memory footprint, it can reuse element node, not like LinkedBlockingQueue that have to create a LinkedBlockingQueue$Node object for each new insertion.

How to convert an int to string in C?

This is old but here's another way.

#include <stdio.h>

#define atoa(x) #x

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char *string = atoa(1234567890);
    printf("%s\n", string);
    return 0;
}

Escape single quote character for use in an SQLite query

Try doubling up the single quotes (many databases expect it that way), so it would be :

INSERT INTO table_name (field1, field2) VALUES (123, 'Hello there''s');

Relevant quote from the documentation:

A string constant is formed by enclosing the string in single quotes ('). A single quote within the string can be encoded by putting two single quotes in a row - as in Pascal. C-style escapes using the backslash character are not supported because they are not standard SQL. BLOB literals are string literals containing hexadecimal data and preceded by a single "x" or "X" character. ... A literal value can also be the token "NULL".

How can I initialize base class member variables in derived class constructor?

Somehow, no one listed the simplest way:

class A
{
public:
    int a, b;
};

class B : public A
{
    B()
    {
        a = 0;
        b = 0;
    }

};

You can't access base members in the initializer list, but the constructor itself, just as any other member method, may access public and protected members of the base class.

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start program. Cannot find the file specified

I found a related thread:

AttendStar created a free add-on that suppresses the print dialog box and removes all headers and footers for most versions of Firefox.

mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead

Simply put, you need to rewrite all of your database connections and queries.

You are using mysql_* functions which are now deprecated and will be removed from PHP in the future. So you need to start using MySQLi or PDO instead, just as the error notice warned you.

A basic example of using PDO (without error handling):

<?php
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb;charset=utf8', 'username', 'password');
$result = $db->exec("INSERT INTO table(firstname, lastname) VAULES('John', 'Doe')");
$insertId = $db->lastInsertId();
?>

A basic example of using MySQLi (without error handling):

$db = new mysqli($DBServer, $DBUser, $DBPass, $DBName);
$result = $db->query("INSERT INTO table(firstname, lastname) VAULES('John', 'Doe')");

Here's a handy little PDO tutorial to get you started. There are plenty of others, and ones about the PDO alternative, MySQLi.

How to delete directory content in Java?

All files must be delete from the directory before it is deleted.

There are third party libraries that have a lot of common utilities, including ones that does that for you:

Laravel whereIn OR whereIn

Yes, orWhereIn is a method that you can use.

I'm fairly sure it should give you the result you're looking for, however, if it doesn't you could simply use implode to create a string and then explode it (this is a guess at your array structure):

$values = implode(',', array_map(function($value)
{
    return trim($value, ',');
}, $filters));

$query->whereIn('products.value', explode(',' $values));

How to get thread id from a thread pool?

Vue 'export default' vs 'new Vue'

The first case (export default {...}) is ES2015 syntax for making some object definition available for use.

The second case (new Vue (...)) is standard syntax for instantiating an object that has been defined.

The first will be used in JS to bootstrap Vue, while either can be used to build up components and templates.

See https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-registration.html for more details.

Serializing a list to JSON

                serializer.WriteObject(ms, obj);
                var byteArray = ms.ToArray();
                retVal = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
            }
            return retVal;

How to hide a div with jQuery?

$("myDiv").hide(); and $("myDiv").show(); does not work in Internet Explorer that well.

The way I got around this was to get the html content of myDiv using .html().

I then wrote it to a newly created DIV. I then appended the DIV to the body and appended the content of the variable Content to the HiddenField then read that contents from the newly created div when I wanted to show the DIV.

After I used the .remove() method to get rid of the DIV that was temporarily holding my DIVs html.

var Content = $('myDiv').html(); 
        $('myDiv').empty();
        var hiddenField = $("<input type='hidden' id='myDiv2'>");
        $('body').append(hiddenField);
        HiddenField.val(Content);

and then when I wanted to SHOW the content again.

        var Content = $('myDiv');
        Content.html($('#myDiv2').val());
        $('#myDiv2').remove();

This was more reliable that the .hide() & .show() methods.

How do I calculate tables size in Oracle

Depends what you mean by "table's size". A table doesn't relate to a specific file on the file system. A table will reside on a tablespace (possibly multiple tablespaces if it is partitioned, and possibly multiple tablespaces if you also want to take into account indexes on the table). A tablespace will often have multiple tables in it, and may be spread across multiple files.

If you are estimating how much space you'll need for the table's future growth, then avg_row_len multiplied by the number of rows in the table (or number of rows you expect in the table) will be a good guide. But Oracle will leave some space free on each block, partly to allow for rows to 'grow' if they are updated, partly because it may not be possible to fit another entire row on that block (eg an 8K block would only fit 2 rows of 3K, though that would be an extreme example as 3K is a lot bigger than most row sizes). So BLOCKS (in USER_TABLES) might be a better guide.

But if you had 200,000 rows in a table, deleted half of them, then the table would still 'own' the same number of blocks. It doesn't release them up for other tables to use. Also, blocks are not added to a table individually, but in groups called an 'extent'. So there are generally going to be EMPTY_BLOCKS (also in USER_TABLES) in a table.

How to add a second css class with a conditional value in razor MVC 4

You can add property to your model as follows:

    public string DetailsClass { get { return Details.Count > 0 ? "show" : "hide" } }

and then your view will be simpler and will contain no logic at all:

    <div class="details @Model.DetailsClass"/>

This will work even with many classes and will not render class if it is null:

    <div class="@Model.Class1 @Model.Class2"/>

with 2 not null properties will render:

    <div class="class1 class2"/>

if class1 is null

    <div class=" class2"/>

Disable output buffering

From Magnus Lycka answer on a mailing list:

You can skip buffering for a whole python process using "python -u" (or#!/usr/bin/env python -u etc) or by setting the environment variable PYTHONUNBUFFERED.

You could also replace sys.stdout with some other stream like wrapper which does a flush after every call.

class Unbuffered(object):
   def __init__(self, stream):
       self.stream = stream
   def write(self, data):
       self.stream.write(data)
       self.stream.flush()
   def writelines(self, datas):
       self.stream.writelines(datas)
       self.stream.flush()
   def __getattr__(self, attr):
       return getattr(self.stream, attr)

import sys
sys.stdout = Unbuffered(sys.stdout)
print 'Hello'

What is the "right" way to iterate through an array in Ruby?

The other answers are just fine, but I wanted to point out one other peripheral thing: Arrays are ordered, whereas Hashes are not in 1.8. (In Ruby 1.9, Hashes are ordered by insertion order of keys.) So it wouldn't make sense prior to 1.9 to iterate over a Hash in the same way/sequence as Arrays, which have always had a definite ordering. I don't know what the default order is for PHP associative arrays (apparently my google fu isn't strong enough to figure that out, either), but I don't know how you can consider regular PHP arrays and PHP associative arrays to be "the same" in this context, since the order for associative arrays seems undefined.

As such, the Ruby way seems more clear and intuitive to me. :)

HTTP could not register URL http://+:8000/HelloWCF/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace

You must give permission to your app for listening http requests. You can use this command in cmd for this purpose (open cmd Run As Administrator mode)

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8000/ user=Everyone

If your app is working other port, for example 9095, this command must be like as below:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:9095/ user=Everyone

And re-run your app, it should work. This way working for me.

Accessing Websites through a Different Port?

If your question is about IIS(or other server) configuration - yes, it's possible. All you need is to create ports mapping under your Default Site or Virtual Directory and assign specific ports to the site you need. For example it is sometimes very useful for web services, when default port is assigned to some UI front-end and you want to assign service to the same address but with different port.

Batch file: Find if substring is in string (not in a file)

If you are detecting for presence, here's the easiest solution:

SET STRING=F00BAH
SET SUBSTRING=F00
ECHO %STRING% | FINDSTR /C:"%SUBSTRING%" >nul & IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (ECHO CASE TRUE) else (ECHO CASE FALSE)

This works great for dropping the output of windows commands into a boolean variable. Just replace the echo with the command you want to run. You can also string Findstr's together to further qualify a statement using pipes. E.G. for Service Control (SC.exe)

SC QUERY WUAUSERV | findstr /C:"STATE" | FINDSTR /C:"RUNNING" & IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (ECHO case True) else (ECHO CASE FALSE)

That one evaluates the output of SC Query for windows update services which comes out as a multiline text, finds the line containing "state" then finds if the word "running" occurs on that line, and sets the errorlevel accordingly.

How to modify the nodejs request default timeout time?

What happened to console.log in IE8?

Make your own console in html .... ;-) This can be imprved but you can start with :

if (typeof console == "undefined" || typeof console.log === "undefined") {
    var oDiv=document.createElement("div");
    var attr = document.createAttribute('id'); attr.value = 'html-console';
    oDiv.setAttributeNode(attr);


    var style= document.createAttribute('style');
    style.value = "overflow: auto; color: red; position: fixed; bottom:0; background-color: black; height: 200px; width: 100%; filter: alpha(opacity=80);";
    oDiv.setAttributeNode(style);

    var t = document.createElement("h3");
    var tcontent = document.createTextNode('console');
    t.appendChild(tcontent);
    oDiv.appendChild(t);

    document.body.appendChild(oDiv);
    var htmlConsole = document.getElementById('html-console');
    window.console = {
        log: function(message) {
            var p = document.createElement("p");
            var content = document.createTextNode(message.toString());
            p.appendChild(content);
            htmlConsole.appendChild(p);
        }
    };

When to use EntityManager.find() vs EntityManager.getReference() with JPA

Sssuming you have a parent Post entity and a child PostComment as illustrated in the following diagram:

enter image description here

If you call find when you try to set the @ManyToOne post association:

PostComment comment = new PostComment();
comment.setReview("Just awesome!");
 
Post post = entityManager.find(Post.class, 1L);
comment.setPost(post);
 
entityManager.persist(comment);

Hibernate will execute the following statements:

SELECT p.id AS id1_0_0_,
       p.title AS title2_0_0_
FROM   post p
WHERE p.id = 1
 
INSERT INTO post_comment (post_id, review, id)
VALUES (1, 'Just awesome!', 1)

The SELECT query is useless this time because we don’t need the Post entity to be fetched. We only want to set the underlying post_id Foreign Key column.

Now, if you use getReference instead:

PostComment comment = new PostComment();
comment.setReview("Just awesome!");
 
Post post = entityManager.getReference(Post.class, 1L);
comment.setPost(post);
 
entityManager.persist(comment);

This time, Hibernate will issue just the INSERT statement:

INSERT INTO post_comment (post_id, review, id)
VALUES (1, 'Just awesome!', 1)

Unlike find, the getReference only returns an entity Proxy which only has the identifier set. If you access the Proxy, the associated SQL statement will be triggered as long as the EntityManager is still open.

However, in this case, we don’t need to access the entity Proxy. We only want to propagate the Foreign Key to the underlying table record so loading a Proxy is sufficient for this use case.

When loading a Proxy, you need to be aware that a LazyInitializationException can be thrown if you try to access the Proxy reference after the EntityManager is closed.

How to Delete node_modules - Deep Nested Folder in Windows

Advance a little beat for multiple folders...

If you have a project folder with multiple 'builds' that contains 'node_module'. Like:

C:/Project/build-1/node_modules
C:/Project/build-2/node_modules
C:/Project/build-3/node_modules
C:/Project/build-4/node_modules

You want to delete all folders starts with "build"

! First install nodejs and rimraf as suggested above !

Then go to path with project and run PowerShell command

cd  C:/Project/
Get-ChildItem build* | foreach {rimraf -Path $_.FullName}

It will take a wile

How to do an Integer.parseInt() for a decimal number?

0.01 is not an integer (whole number), so you of course can't parse it as one. Use Double.parseDouble or Float.parseFloat instead.

How do you determine what technology a website is built on?

URLs can give a lot of clues, especially with Content Management Systems.

For example "http://abcxyz.com/node/46" looks a lot like Drupal.

Also many frameworks have standard JavaScript and CSS files they use.

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

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

class Template {}
class AnotherTemplate {}

export { Template, AnotherTemplate }

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

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

Alternatively if you export as the default export like this,

export default class Template {}

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

import Template from './components/templates'

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

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

import TheTemplate from './components/templates'

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

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

"Non-static method cannot be referenced from a static context" error

You need to correctly separate static data from instance data. In your code, onLoan and setLoanItem() are instance members. If you want to reference/call them you must do so via an instance. So you either want

public void loanItem() {
    this.media.setLoanItem("Yes");
}

or

public void loanItem(Media object) {
    object.setLoanItem("Yes");
}

depending on how you want to pass that instance around.

Some loaders (linkers) provide switches for turning dynamic loading on and off. If GCC is running on such a system (Solaris - and possibly others), then you can use the relevant option.

If you know which libraries you want to link statically, you can simply specify the static library file in the link line - by full path.

max(length(field)) in mysql

Select URColumnName From URTableName Where length(URColumnName ) IN 
(Select max(length(URColumnName)) From URTableName);

This will give you the records in that particular column which has the maximum length.

How to remove line breaks from a file in Java?

You can use apache commons IOUtils to iterate through the line and append each line to StringBuilder. And don't forget to close the InputStream

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream("textfile.txt");
LineIterator lt=IOUtils.lineIterator(fin, "utf-8");
while(lt.hasNext())
{
  sb.append(lt.nextLine());
}
String text = sb.toString();
IOUtils.closeQuitely(fin);

Multiple Inheritance in C#

Consider just using composition instead of trying to simulate Multiple Inheritance. You can use Interfaces to define what classes make up the composition, eg: ISteerable implies a property of type SteeringWheel, IBrakable implies a property of type BrakePedal, etc.

Once you've done that, you could use the Extension Methods feature added to C# 3.0 to further simplify calling methods on those implied properties, eg:

public interface ISteerable { SteeringWheel wheel { get; set; } }

public interface IBrakable { BrakePedal brake { get; set; } }

public class Vehicle : ISteerable, IBrakable
{
    public SteeringWheel wheel { get; set; }

    public BrakePedal brake { get; set; }

    public Vehicle() { wheel = new SteeringWheel(); brake = new BrakePedal(); }
}

public static class SteeringExtensions
{
    public static void SteerLeft(this ISteerable vehicle)
    {
        vehicle.wheel.SteerLeft();
    }
}

public static class BrakeExtensions
{
    public static void Stop(this IBrakable vehicle)
    {
        vehicle.brake.ApplyUntilStop();
    }
}


public class Main
{
    Vehicle myCar = new Vehicle();

    public void main()
    {
        myCar.SteerLeft();
        myCar.Stop();
    }
}

How to compare two date values with jQuery

If you are also using jQuery ui, in particular datepicker, you can use $.datepicker.parseDate(format, string) to turn your date strings into a JavaScript Date object, which you can then compare using the standard < and >

How do you create a hidden div that doesn't create a line break or horizontal space?

Show / hide by mouse click:

<script language="javascript">

    function toggle() {

        var ele = document.getElementById("toggleText");
        var text = document.getElementById("displayText");

        if (ele.style.display == "block") {

            ele.style.display = "none";
            text.innerHTML = "show";
        }
        else {

            ele.style.display = "block";
            text.innerHTML = "hide";
        }
    }
</script>

<a id="displayText" href="javascript:toggle();">show</a> <== click Here

<div id="toggleText" style="display: none"><h1>peek-a-boo</h1></div>

coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found when rendering in django admin

The return value def __unicode __ should be similar to the return value of the related models (tables) for correct viewing of "some_field" in django admin panel. You can also use:

def __str__(self):
    return self.some_field

Auto start node.js server on boot

If I'm not wrong, you can start your application using command line and thus also using a batch file. In that case it is not a very hard task to start it with Windows login.

You just create a batch file with the following content:

node C:\myapp.js

and save it with .bat extention. Here myapp.js is your app, which in this example is located in C: drive (spcify the path).

Now you can just throw the batch file in your startup folder which is located at C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Just open it using %appdata% in run dailog box and locate to >Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Start Menu>Programs>Startup

The batch file will be executed at login time and start your node application from cmd.

CSS filter: make color image with transparency white

To my knowledge, there is sadly no CSS filter to colorise an element (perhaps with the use of some SVG filter magic, but I'm somewhat unfamiliar with that) and even if that wasn't the case, filters are basically only supported by webkit browsers.

With that said, you could still work around this and use a canvas to modify your image. Basically, you can draw an image element onto a canvas and then loop through the pixels, modifying the respective RGBA values to the colour you want.

However, canvases do come with some restrictions. Most importantly, you have to make sure that the image src comes from the same domain as the page. Otherwise the browser won't allow you to read or modify the pixel data of the canvas.

Here's a JSFiddle changing the colour of the JSFiddle logo.

Get Return Value from Stored procedure in asp.net

2 things.

  • The query has to complete on sql server before the return value is sent.

  • The results have to be captured and then finish executing before the return value gets to the object.

In English, finish the work and then retrieve the value.

this will not work:

                cmm.ExecuteReader();
                int i = (int) cmm.Parameters["@RETURN_VALUE"].Value;

This will work:

                        SqlDataReader reader = cmm.ExecuteReader();
                        reader.Close();

                        foreach (SqlParameter prm in cmd.Parameters)
                        {
                           Debug.WriteLine("");
                           Debug.WriteLine("Name " + prm.ParameterName);
                           Debug.WriteLine("Type " + prm.SqlDbType.ToString());
                           Debug.WriteLine("Size " + prm.Size.ToString());
                           Debug.WriteLine("Direction " + prm.Direction.ToString());
                           Debug.WriteLine("Value " + prm.Value);

                        }

if you are not sure check the value of the parameter before during and after the results have been processed by the reader.

Postgresql - select something where date = "01/01/11"

I think you want to cast your dt to a date and fix the format of your date literal:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE dt::date = '2011-01-01' -- This should be ISO-8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD

Or the standard version:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE CAST(dt AS DATE) = '2011-01-01' -- This should be ISO-8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD

The extract function doesn't understand "date" and it returns a number.

Calculating days between two dates with Java

UPDATE: The original answer from 2013 is now outdated because some of the classes have been replaced. The new way of doing this is using the new java.time classes.

DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MM yyyy");
String inputString1 = "23 01 1997";
String inputString2 = "27 04 1997";

try {
    LocalDateTime date1 = LocalDate.parse(inputString1, dtf);
    LocalDateTime date2 = LocalDate.parse(inputString2, dtf);
    long daysBetween = Duration.between(date1, date2).toDays();
    System.out.println ("Days: " + daysBetween);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Note that this solution will give the number of actual 24 hour-days, not the number of calendar days. For the latter, use

long daysBetween = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(date1, date2)

Original answer (outdated as of Java 8)

You are making some conversions with your Strings that are not necessary. There is a SimpleDateFormat class for it - try this:

SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
String inputString1 = "23 01 1997";
String inputString2 = "27 04 1997";

try {
    Date date1 = myFormat.parse(inputString1);
    Date date2 = myFormat.parse(inputString2);
    long diff = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();
    System.out.println ("Days: " + TimeUnit.DAYS.convert(diff, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS));
} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

EDIT: Since there have been some discussions regarding the correctness of this code: it does indeed take care of leap years. However, the TimeUnit.DAYS.convert function loses precision since milliseconds are converted to days (see the linked doc for more info). If this is a problem, diff can also be converted by hand:

float days = (diff / (1000*60*60*24));

Note that this is a float value, not necessarily an int.

state machines tutorials

There is a lot of lesson to learn handcrafting state machines in C, but let me also suggest Ragel state machine compiler:

http://www.complang.org/ragel/

It has quite simple way of defining state machines and then you can generate graphs, generate code in different styles (table-driven, goto-driven), analyze that code if you want to, etc. And it's powerful, can be used in production code for various protocols.

Mocking HttpClient in unit tests

HttpClient's extensibility lies in the HttpMessageHandler passed to the constructor. Its intent is to allow platform specific implementations, but you can also mock it. There's no need to create a decorator wrapper for HttpClient.

If you'd prefer a DSL to using Moq, I have a library up on GitHub/Nuget that makes things a little easier: https://github.com/richardszalay/mockhttp

var mockHttp = new MockHttpMessageHandler();

// Setup a respond for the user api (including a wildcard in the URL)
mockHttp.When("http://localost/api/user/*")
        .Respond("application/json", "{'name' : 'Test McGee'}"); // Respond with JSON

// Inject the handler or client into your application code
var client = new HttpClient(mockHttp);

var response = await client.GetAsync("http://localhost/api/user/1234");
// or without async: var response = client.GetAsync("http://localhost/api/user/1234").Result;

var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

// No network connection required
Console.Write(json); // {'name' : 'Test McGee'}

Do you get charged for a 'stopped' instance on EC2?

Short answer - no.

You will only be charged for the time that your instance is up and running, in hour increments. If you are using other services in conjunction you may be charged for those but it would be separate from your server instance.

Invoke native date picker from web-app on iOS/Android

Since some years some devices support <input type="date"> but others don't, so one needs to be careful. Here are some observations from 2012, which still might be valid today:

  • One can detect if type="date" is supported by setting that attribute and then reading back its value. Browsers/devices that don't support it will ignore setting the type to date and return text when reading back that attribute. Alternatively, Modernizr can be used for detection. Beware that it's not enough to check for some Android version; like the Samsung Galaxy S2 on Android 4.0.3 does support type="date", but the Google/Samsung Nexus S on the more recent Android 4.0.4 does not.

  • When presetting the date for the native date picker, be sure to use a format the device recognizes. When not doing that, devices might silently reject it, leaving one with an empty input field when trying to show an existing value. Like using the date picker on a Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.3 might itself set the <input> to 2012-6-1 for June 1st. However, when setting the value from JavaScript, it needs leading zeroes: 2012-06-01.

  • When using things like Cordova (PhoneGap) to display the native date picker on devices that don't support type="date":

    • Be sure to properly detect built-in support. Like in 2012 on the Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.3, erroneously also using the Cordova Android plugin would result in showing the date picker twice in a row: once again after clicking "set" in its first occurrence.

    • When there's multiple inputs on the same page, some devices show "previous" and "next" to get into another form field. On iOS 4, this does not trigger the onclick handler and hence gives the user a regular input. Using onfocus to trigger the plugin seemed to work better.

    • On iOS 4, using onclick or onfocus to trigger the 2012 iOS plugin first made the regular keyboard show, after which the date picker was placed on top of that. Next, after using the date picker, one still needed to close the regular keyboard. Using $(this).blur() to remove focus before the date picker was shown helped for iOS 4 and did not affect other devices I tested. But it introduced some quick flashing of the keyboard on iOS, and things could be even more confusing on first usage as then the date picker was slower. One could fully disable the regular keyboard by making the input readonly if one were using the plugin, but that disabled the "previous" and "next" buttons when typing in other inputs on the same screen. It also seems the iOS 4 plugin did not make the native date picker show "cancel" or "clear".

    • On an iOS 4 iPad (simulator), in 2012 the Cordova plugin did not seem to render correctly, basically not giving the user any option to enter or change a date. (Maybe iOS 4 doesn't render its native date picker nicely on top of a web view, or maybe my web view's CSS styling has some effect, and surely this might be different on a real device: please comment or edit!)

    • Though, again in 2012, the Android date picker plugin tried to use the same JavaScript API as the iOS plugin, and its example used allowOldDates, the Android version actually did not support that. Also, it returned the new date as 2012/7/2 while the iOS version returned Mon Jul 02 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST).

  • Even when <input type="date"> is supported, things might look messy:

    • iOS 5 nicely displays 2012-06-01 in a localized format, like 1 Jun. 2012 or June 1, 2012 (and even updates that immediately while still operating the date picker). However, the Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.3 shows the ugly 2012-6-1 or 2012-06-01, no matter which locale is used.

    • iOS 5 on an iPad (simulator) does not hide the keyboard when that is already visible when touching the date input, or when using "previous" or "next" in another input. It then simultaneously shows the date picker below the input and the keyboard at the bottom, and seems to allow any input from both. However, though it does change the visible value, the keyboard input is actually ignored. (Shown when reading back the value, or when invoking the date picker again.) When the keyboard was not yet shown, then touching the date input only shows the date picker, not the keyboard. (This might be different on a real device, please comment or edit!)

    • Devices might show a cursor in the input field, and a long press might trigger the clipboard options, possibly showing the regular keyboard too. When clicking, some devices might even show the regular keyboard for a split second, before changing to show the date picker.

EOFError: end of file reached issue with Net::HTTP

I find that I run into Net::HTTP and Net::FTP problems like this periodically, and when I do, surrounding the call with a timeout() makes all of those issues vanish. So where this will occasionally hang for 3 minutes or so and then raise an EOFError:

res = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, args)

This always fixes it for me:

Keep in mind that sockets does not necessarily mean IP (and TCP or UDP). You can also use UNIX sockets (PF_UNIX), which offer a noticeable performance improvement over connecting to 127.0.0.1

Where is svcutil.exe in Windows 7?

If you are using vs 2010 then you can get it in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools

Tomcat in Intellij Idea Community Edition

For Intellij 14.0.0 the Application server option is available under View > Tools window > Application Server (But if it is enable, i mean if you have any plugin installed)

What is a database transaction?

I would suggest that a definition of 'transaction processing' would be more useful, as it covers transactions as a concept in computer science.

From wikipedia:

In computer science, transaction processing is information processing that is divided into individual, indivisible operations, called transactions. Each transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit; it cannot remain in an intermediate state.

SQL Server: use CASE with LIKE

One of the first things you need to learn about SQL (and relational databases) is that you shouldn't store multiple values in a single field.

You should create another table and store one value per row.

This will make your querying easier, and your database structure better.

select 
    case when exists (select countryname from itemcountries where yourtable.id=itemcountries.id and countryname = @country) then 'national' else 'regional' end
from yourtable

Regex - Does not contain certain Characters

Here you go:

^[^<>]*$

This will test for string that has no < and no >

If you want to test for a string that may have < and >, but must also have something other you should use just

[^<>] (or ^.*[^<>].*$)

Where [<>] means any of < or > and [^<>] means any that is not of < or >.

And of course the mandatory link.

how to hide a vertical scroll bar when not needed

overflow: auto (or overflow-y: auto) is the correct way to go.

The problem is that your text area is taller than your div. The div ends up cutting off the textbox, so even though it looks like it should start scrolling when the text is taller than 159px it won't start scrolling until the text is taller than 400px which is the height of the textbox.

Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/G9rfq/1/

I set overflow:auto on the text box, and made the textbox the same size as the div.

Also I don't believe it's valid to have a div inside a label, the browser will render it, but it might cause some funky stuff to happen. Also your div isn't closed.

How should I escape commas and speech marks in CSV files so they work in Excel?

Below are the rules if you believe it's random. A utility function can be created on the basis of these rules.

  1. If the value contains a comma, newline or double quote, then the String value should be returned enclosed in double quotes.

  2. Any double quote characters in the value should be escaped with another double quote.

  3. If the value does not contain a comma, newline or double quote, then the String value should be returned unchanged.

How to compare DateTime in C#?

Microsoft has also implemented the operators '<' and '>'. So you use these to compare two dates.

What's the difference between a POST and a PUT HTTP REQUEST?

  1. GET: Retrieves data from the server. Should have no other effect.
  2. PUT: Replaces target resource with the request payload. Can be used to update or create a new resources.
  3. PATCH: Similar to PUT, but used to update only certain fields within an existing resource.
  4. POST: Performs resource-specific processing on the payload. Can be used for different actions including creating a new resource, uploading a file or submitting a web form.
  5. DELETE: Removes data from the server.
  6. TRACE: Provides a way to test what server receives. It simply returns what was sent.
  7. OPTIONS: Allows a client to get information about the request methods supported by a service. The relevant response header is Allow with supported methods. Also used in CORS as preflight request to inform server about actual request method and ask about custom headers.
  8. HEAD: Returns only the response headers.
  9. CONNECT: Used by browser when it knows it talks to a proxy and the final URI begins with https://. The intent of CONNECT is to allow end-to-end encrypted TLS session, so the data is unreadable to a proxy.

connecting to MySQL from the command line

One way to connect to MySQL directly using proper MySQL username and password is:

mysql --user=root --password=mypass

Here,

root is the MySQL username
mypass is the MySQL user password

This is useful if you have a blank password.

For example, if you have MySQL user called root with an empty password, just use

mysql --user=root --password=

Converting a float to a string without rounding it

Other answers already pointed out that the representation of floating numbers is a thorny issue, to say the least.

Since you don't give enough context in your question, I cannot know if the decimal module can be useful for your needs:

http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html

Among other things you can explicitly specify the precision that you wish to obtain (from the docs):

>>> getcontext().prec = 6
>>> Decimal('3.0')
Decimal('3.0')
>>> Decimal('3.1415926535')
Decimal('3.1415926535')
>>> Decimal('3.1415926535') + Decimal('2.7182818285')
Decimal('5.85987')
>>> getcontext().rounding = ROUND_UP
>>> Decimal('3.1415926535') + Decimal('2.7182818285')
Decimal('5.85988')

A simple example from my prompt (python 2.6):

>>> import decimal
>>> a = decimal.Decimal('10.000000001')
>>> a
Decimal('10.000000001')
>>> print a
10.000000001
>>> b = decimal.Decimal('10.00000000000000000000000000900000002')
>>> print b
10.00000000000000000000000000900000002
>>> print str(b)
10.00000000000000000000000000900000002
>>> len(str(b/decimal.Decimal('3.0')))
29

Maybe this can help? decimal is in python stdlib since 2.4, with additions in python 2.6.

Hope this helps, Francesco

Looping through rows in a DataView

I prefer to do it in a more direct fashion. It does not have the Rows but is still has the array of rows.

tblCrm.DefaultView.RowFilter = "customertype = 'new'";

qtytotal = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < tblCrm.DefaultView.Count; i++)
{
    result = double.TryParse(tblCrm.DefaultView[i]["qty"].ToString(), out num);
    if (result == false) num = 0;
    qtytotal = qtytotal + num;
}

labQty.Text = qtytotal.ToString();

Best way to work with dates in Android SQLite

  1. As presumed in this comment, I'd always use integers to store dates.
  2. For storing, you could use a utility method

    public static Long persistDate(Date date) {
        if (date != null) {
            return date.getTime();
        }
        return null;
    }
    

    like so:

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(COLUMN_NAME, persistDate(entity.getDate()));
    long id = db.insertOrThrow(TABLE_NAME, null, values);
    
  3. Another utility method takes care of the loading

    public static Date loadDate(Cursor cursor, int index) {
        if (cursor.isNull(index)) {
            return null;
        }
        return new Date(cursor.getLong(index));
    }
    

    can be used like this:

    entity.setDate(loadDate(cursor, INDEX));
    
  4. Ordering by date is simple SQL ORDER clause (because we have a numeric column). The following will order descending (that is newest date goes first):

    public static final String QUERY = "SELECT table._id, table.dateCol FROM table ORDER BY table.dateCol DESC";
    
    //...
    
        Cursor cursor = rawQuery(QUERY, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
    
        while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
            // Process results
        }
    

Always make sure to store the UTC/GMT time, especially when working with java.util.Calendar and java.text.SimpleDateFormat that use the default (i.e. your device's) time zone. java.util.Date.Date() is safe to use as it creates a UTC value.

Check if a key exists inside a json object

(I wanted to point this out even though I'm late to the party)
The original question you were trying to find a 'Not IN' essentially. It looks like is not supported from the research (2 links below) that I was doing.

So if you wanted to do a 'Not In':

("merchant_id" in x)
true
("merchant_id_NotInObject" in x)
false 

I'd recommend just setting that expression == to what you're looking for

if (("merchant_id" in thisSession)==false)
{
    // do nothing.
}
else 
{
    alert("yeah");
}

Updating PartialView mvc 4

Controller :

public ActionResult Refresh(string ID)
    {
        DetailsViewModel vm = new DetailsViewModel();  // Model
        vm.productDetails = _product.GetproductDetails(ID); 
        /* "productDetails " is a property in "DetailsViewModel"
        "GetProductDetails" is a method in "Product" class
        "_product" is an interface of "Product" class */

        return PartialView("_Details", vm); // Details is a partial view
    }

In yore index page you should to have refresh link :

     <a href="#" id="refreshItem">Refresh</a>

This Script should be also in your index page:

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(function () {
    $('a[id=refreshItem]:last').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();

        var url = MVC.Url.action('Refresh', 'MyController', { itemId: '@(Model.itemProp.itemId )' }); // Refresh is an Action in controller, MyController is a controller name

        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: url,
            cache: false,
            success: function (grid) {
                $('#tabItemDetails').html(grid);
                clientBehaviors.applyPlugins($("#tabProductDetails")); // "tabProductDetails" is an id of div in your "Details partial view"
            }
        });
    });
});

How to calculate time difference in java?

I found this more cleaner.

       Date start = new Date();
        //Waiting for 10 seconds
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        Date end = new Date();
        long diff = end.getTime() - start.getTime();
        String TimeTaken = String.format("[%s] hours : [%s] mins : [%s] secs",
                Long.toString(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(diff)), 
                TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(diff),
                TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(diff));
        System.out.println(String.format("Time taken %s", TimeTaken));

Use git fetch to fetch all latest created branches.

How do I get the collection of Model State Errors in ASP.NET MVC?

Here is the VB.

Dim validationErrors As String = String.Join(",", ModelState.Values.Where(Function(E) E.Errors.Count > 0).SelectMany(Function(E) E.Errors).[Select](Function(E) E.ErrorMessage).ToArray())

How do you migrate an IIS 7 site to another server?

Microsoft Web Deploy v3 can export and import all your files, the configuration settings, etc. It puts it all into a zip archive ready to import on the new server. It can even upgrade to newer versions of IIS (v7-v8).

http://www.iis.net/extensions/WebDeploymentTool

After installing the tool: Right click your server or website in IIS Management Console, select 'Deploy', 'Export Application...' and run through the export.

On the new server, import the exported zip archive in the same way.

How do I install Python packages in Google's Colab?

Joining the party late, but just as a complement, I ran into some problems with Seaborn not so long ago, because CoLab installed a version with !pip that wasn't updated. In my specific case, I couldn't use Scatterplot, for example. The answer to this is below:

To install the module, all you need is:

!pip install seaborn

To upgrade it to the most updated version:

!pip install --upgrade seaborn

If you want to install a specific version

!pip install seaborn==0.9.0

I believe all the rules common to pip apply normally, so that pretty much should work.

Understanding repr( ) function in Python

When you say

foo = 'bar'
baz(foo)

you are not passing foo to the baz function. foo is just a name used to represent a value, in this case 'bar', and that value is passed to the baz function.

Converting string to Date and DateTime

to create date from any string use:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d-m-y H:i', '01-01-01 01:00'); echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i');

Checking if a folder exists (and creating folders) in Qt, C++

When you use QDir.mkpath() it returns true if the path already exists, in the other hand QDir.mkdir() returns false if the path already exists. So depending on your program you have to choose which fits better.

You can see more on Qt Documentation

Find Active Tab using jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap

Here is the answer for those of you who need a Boostrap 3 solution.

In bootstrap 3 use 'shown.bs.tab' instead of 'shown' in the next line

// tab
$('#rowTab a:first').tab('show');

$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
//show selected tab / active
 console.log ( $(e.target).attr('id') );
});

How to add number of days in postgresql datetime

For me I had to put the whole interval in single quotes not just the value of the interval.

select id,  
   title,
   created_at + interval '1 day' * claim_window as deadline from projects   

Instead of

select id,  
   title,
   created_at + interval '1' day * claim_window as deadline from projects

Best way to store passwords in MYSQL database

You should use one way encryption (which is a way to encrypt a value so that is very hard to revers it). I'm not familiar with MySQL, but a quick search shows that it has a password() function that does exactly this kind of encryption. In the DB you will store the encrypted value and when the user wants to authenticate you take the password he provided, you encrypt it using the same algorithm/function and then you check that the value is the same with the password stored in the database for that user. This assumes that the communication between the browser and your server is secure, namely that you use https.

Create a directory if it does not exist and then create the files in that directory as well

If you create a web based application, the better solution is to check the directory exists or not then create the file if not exist. If exists, recreate again.

    private File createFile(String path, String fileName) throws IOException {
       ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
       File file = new File(classLoader.getResource(".").getFile() + path + fileName);

       // Lets create the directory
       try {
          file.getParentFile().mkdir();
       } catch (Exception err){
           System.out.println("ERROR (Directory Create)" + err.getMessage());
       }

       // Lets create the file if we have credential
       try {
           file.createNewFile();
       } catch (Exception err){
           System.out.println("ERROR (File Create)" + err.getMessage());
       }
       return  file;
   }

Clear back stack using fragments

I just wanted to add :--

Popping out from backstack using following

fragmentManager.popBackStack()

is just about removing the fragments from the transaction, no way it is going to remove the fragment from the screen. So ideally, it may not be visible to you but there may be two or three fragments stacked over each other, and on back key press the UI may look cluttered,stacked.

Just taking a simple example:-

Suppose you have a fragmentA which loads Fragmnet B using fragmentmanager.replace() and then we do addToBackStack, to save this transaction. So the flow is :--

STEP 1 -> FragmentA->FragmentB (we moved to FragmentB, but Fragment A is in background, not visible).

Now You do some work in fragmentB and press the Save button—which after saving should go back to fragmentA.

STEP 2-> On save of FragmentB, we go back to FragmentA.

STEP 3 ->So common mistake would be... in Fragment B,we will do fragment Manager.replace() fragmentB with fragmentA.

But what actually is happenening, we are loading Fragment A again, replacing FragmentB . So now there are two FragmentA (one from STEP-1, and one from this STEP-3).

Two instances of FragmentsA are stacked over each other, which may not be visible , but it is there.

So even if we do clear the backstack by above methods, the transaction is cleared but not the actual fragments. So ideally in such a particular case, on press of save button you simply need to go back to fragmentA by simply doing fm.popBackStack() or fm.popBackImmediate().

So correct Step3-> fm.popBackStack() go back to fragmentA, which is already in memory.

How can I access iframe elements with Javascript?

If you have the HTML

<form name="formname" .... id="form-first">
    <iframe id="one" src="iframe2.html">
    </iframe>
</form>

and JavaScript

function iframeRef( frameRef ) {
    return frameRef.contentWindow
        ? frameRef.contentWindow.document
        : frameRef.contentDocument
}

var inside = iframeRef( document.getElementById('one') )

inside is now a reference to the document, so you can do getElementsByTagName('textarea') and whatever you like, depending on what's inside the iframe src.

Multipart forms from C# client

This is cut and pasted from some sample code I wrote, hopefully it should give the basics. It only supports File data and form-data at the moment.

public class PostData
{

    private List<PostDataParam> m_Params;

    public List<PostDataParam> Params
    {
        get { return m_Params; }
        set { m_Params = value; }
    }

    public PostData()
    {
        m_Params = new List<PostDataParam>();

        // Add sample param
        m_Params.Add(new PostDataParam("email", "MyEmail", PostDataParamType.Field));
    }


    /// <summary>
    /// Returns the parameters array formatted for multi-part/form data
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public string GetPostData()
    {
        // Get boundary, default is --AaB03x
        string boundary = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ContentBoundary"].ToString();

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (PostDataParam p in m_Params)
        {
            sb.AppendLine(boundary);

            if (p.Type == PostDataParamType.File)
            {
                sb.AppendLine(string.Format("Content-Disposition: file; name=\"{0}\"; filename=\"{1}\"", p.Name, p.FileName));
                sb.AppendLine("Content-Type: text/plain");
                sb.AppendLine();
                sb.AppendLine(p.Value);                 
            }
            else
            {
                sb.AppendLine(string.Format("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"", p.Name));
                sb.AppendLine();
                sb.AppendLine(p.Value);
            }
        }

        sb.AppendLine(boundary);

        return sb.ToString();           
    }
}

public enum PostDataParamType
{
    Field,
    File
}

public class PostDataParam
{


    public PostDataParam(string name, string value, PostDataParamType type)
    {
        Name = name;
        Value = value;
        Type = type;
    }

    public string Name;
    public string FileName;
    public string Value;
    public PostDataParamType Type;
}

To send the data you then need to:

HttpWebRequest oRequest = null;
oRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(oURL.URL);
oRequest.ContentType = "multipart/form-data";                       
oRequest.Method = "POST";
PostData pData = new PostData();

byte[] buffer = encoding.GetBytes(pData.GetPostData());

// Set content length of our data
oRequest.ContentLength = buffer.Length;

// Dump our buffered postdata to the stream, booyah
oStream = oRequest.GetRequestStream();
oStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
oStream.Close();

// get the response
oResponse = (HttpWebResponse)oRequest.GetResponse();

Hope thats clear, i've cut and pasted from a few sources to get that tidier.

How do you get the current text contents of a QComboBox?

Getting the Text of ComboBox when the item is changed

pinpointing "conditional jump or move depends on uninitialized value(s)" valgrind message

What this means is that you are trying to print out/output a value which is at least partially uninitialized. Can you narrow it down so that you know exactly what value that is? After that, trace through your code to see where it is being initialized. Chances are, you will see that it is not being fully initialized.

If you need more help, posting the relevant sections of source code might allow someone to offer more guidance.

EDIT

I see you've found the problem. Note that valgrind watches for Conditional jump or move based on unitialized variables. What that means is that it will only give out a warning if the execution of the program is altered due to the uninitialized value (ie. the program takes a different branch in an if statement, for example). Since the actual arithmetic did not involve a conditional jump or move, valgrind did not warn you of that. Instead, it propagated the "uninitialized" status to the result of the statement that used it.

It may seem counterintuitive that it does not warn you immediately, but as mark4o pointed out, it does this because uninitialized values get used in C all the time (examples: padding in structures, the realloc() call, etc.) so those warnings would not be very useful due to the false positive frequency.

What's the point of 'meta viewport user-scalable=no' in the Google Maps API

From the v3 documentation (Developer's Guide > Concepts > Developing for Mobile Devices):

Android and iOS devices respect the following <meta> tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />

This setting specifies that the map should be displayed full-screen and should not be resizable by the user. Note that the iPhone's Safari browser requires this <meta> tag be included within the page's <head> element.

How to plot a 2D FFT in Matlab?

Here is an example from my HOW TO Matlab page:

close all; clear all;

img   = imread('lena.tif','tif');
imagesc(img)
img   = fftshift(img(:,:,2));
F     = fft2(img);

figure;

imagesc(100*log(1+abs(fftshift(F)))); colormap(gray); 
title('magnitude spectrum');

figure;
imagesc(angle(F));  colormap(gray);
title('phase spectrum');

This gives the magnitude spectrum and phase spectrum of the image. I used a color image, but you can easily adjust it to use gray image as well.

ps. I just noticed that on Matlab 2012a the above image is no longer included. So, just replace the first line above with say

img = imread('ngc6543a.jpg');

and it will work. I used an older version of Matlab to make the above example and just copied it here.

On the scaling factor

When we plot the 2D Fourier transform magnitude, we need to scale the pixel values using log transform to expand the range of the dark pixels into the bright region so we can better see the transform. We use a c value in the equation

s = c log(1+r) 

There is no known way to pre detrmine this scale that I know. Just need to try different values to get on you like. I used 100 in the above example.

How to write a Python module/package?

A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements. The file name is the module name with the suffix .py

Create a file called hello.py with the following function as its content:

def helloworld():
   print "hello"

Then you can

import hello
hello.helloworld()

To group many .py files, put them in a folder. Any folder with an init.py is considered a module by python and you can call them a package.

|-HelloModule |_ init.py |_ hellomodule.py

Using <style> tags in the <body> with other HTML

As others have said, this isn't valid html as the style tags belong in the head.

However, most browsers dont' really enforce that validation. Instead, once the document is loaded then the styles are merged and applied. In this case the second set of styles will always override the first because they were the last definitions encountered.

HashSet vs. List performance

A lot of people are saying that once you get to the size where speed is actually a concern that HashSet<T> will always beat List<T>, but that depends on what you are doing.

Let's say you have a List<T> that will only ever have on average 5 items in it. Over a large number of cycles, if a single item is added or removed each cycle, you may well be better off using a List<T>.

I did a test for this on my machine, and, well, it has to be very very small to get an advantage from List<T>. For a list of short strings, the advantage went away after size 5, for objects after size 20.

How can I compare two lists in python and return matches

Using __and__ attribute method also works.

>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> b = [9, 8, 7, 6, 5]
>>> set(a).__and__(set(b))
set([5])

or simply

>>> set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).__and__(set([9, 8, 7, 6, 5]))
set([5])

Nginx not picking up site in sites-enabled?

Include sites-available/default in sites-enabled/default. It requires only one line.

In sites-enabled/default (new config version?):

It seems that the include path is relative to the file that included it

include sites-available/default;

See the include documentation.


I believe that certain versions of nginx allows including/linking to other files purely by having a single line with the relative path to the included file. (At least that's what it looked like in some "inherited" config files I've been using, until a new nginx version broke them.)

In sites-enabled/default (old config version?):

It seems that the include path is relative to the current file

../sites-available/default

LIMIT 10..20 in SQL Server

select * from (select id,name,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id  asc) as row
from tableName1) tbl1
where tbl1.row>=10 and tbl1.row<=15

Will print rows from 10 to 15.

What is the difference between map and flatMap and a good use case for each?

The difference can be seen from below sample pyspark code:

rdd = sc.parallelize([2, 3, 4])
rdd.flatMap(lambda x: range(1, x)).collect()
Output:
[1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3]


rdd.map(lambda x: range(1, x)).collect()
Output:
[[1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3]]

Python Git Module experiences?

While this question was asked a while ago and I don't know the state of the libraries at that point, it is worth mentioning for searchers that GitPython does a good job of abstracting the command line tools so that you don't need to use subprocess. There are some useful built in abstractions that you can use, but for everything else you can do things like:

import git
repo = git.Repo( '/home/me/repodir' )
print repo.git.status()
# checkout and track a remote branch
print repo.git.checkout( 'origin/somebranch', b='somebranch' )
# add a file
print repo.git.add( 'somefile' )
# commit
print repo.git.commit( m='my commit message' )
# now we are one commit ahead
print repo.git.status()

Everything else in GitPython just makes it easier to navigate. I'm fairly well satisfied with this library and appreciate that it is a wrapper on the underlying git tools.

UPDATE: I've switched to using the sh module for not just git but most commandline utilities I need in python. To replicate the above I would do this instead:

import sh
git = sh.git.bake(_cwd='/home/me/repodir')
print git.status()
# checkout and track a remote branch
print git.checkout('-b', 'somebranch')
# add a file
print git.add('somefile')
# commit
print git.commit(m='my commit message')
# now we are one commit ahead
print git.status()

SELECT * FROM (SELECT @goodsType, @sybType, @deviceId) AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 'goodsTypeId' FROM `devices` #need to change tablename and columns names
    WHERE `goodsTypeId` = @goodsType
        AND `goodsId` = @sybType
        AND `deviceId` = @deviceId
) LIMIT 1;

and now new item will be added only in case of there is not exist row with values configured in SET string

How to split csv whose columns may contain ,

Use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser class. This will handle parsing a delimited file, TextReader or Stream where some fields are enclosed in quotes and some are not.

For example:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO;

string csv = "2,1016,7/31/2008 14:22,Geoff Dalgas,6/5/2011 22:21,http://stackoverflow.com,\"Corvallis, OR\",7679,351,81,b437f461b3fd27387c5d8ab47a293d35,34";

TextFieldParser parser = new TextFieldParser(new StringReader(csv));

// You can also read from a file
// TextFieldParser parser = new TextFieldParser("mycsvfile.csv");

parser.HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes = true;
parser.SetDelimiters(",");

string[] fields;

while (!parser.EndOfData)
{
    fields = parser.ReadFields();
    foreach (string field in fields)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(field);
    }
} 

parser.Close();

This should result in the following output:

How to make an app's background image repeat

Here is a pure-java implementation of background image repeating:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.bg_image);
    BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(bmp);
    bitmapDrawable.setTileModeXY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT, Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);
    LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
    layout.setBackgroundDrawable(bitmapDrawable);
}

In this case, our background image would have to be stored in res/drawable/bg_image.png.

Carriage return and Line feed... Are both required in C#?

It's always a good idea, and while it's not always required, the Windows standard is to include both.

\n actually represents a Line Feed, or the number 10, and canonically a Line Feed means just "move down one row" on terminals and teletypes.

\r represents CR, a Carriage Return, or the number 13. On Windows, Unix, and most terminals, a CR moves the cursor to the beginning of the line. (This is not the case for 8-bit computers: most of those do advance to the next line with a CR.)

Anyway, some processes, such as the text console, might add a CR automatically when you send an LF. However, since the CR simply moves to the start of the line, there's no harm in sending the CR twice.

On the other hand, dialog boxes, text boxes, and other display elements require both CR and LF to properly start a new line.

Since there's really no downside to sending both, and both are required in some situations, the simplest policy is to use both, if you're not sure.

How can I capitalize the first letter of each word in a string using JavaScript?

This routine will handle hyphenated words and words with apostrophe.

function titleCase(txt) {
    var firstLtr = 0;
    for (var i = 0;i < text.length;i++) {
        if (i == 0 &&/[a-zA-Z]/.test(text.charAt(i)))
            firstLtr = 2;
        if (firstLtr == 0 &&/[a-zA-Z]/.test(text.charAt(i)))
            firstLtr = 2;
        if (firstLtr == 1 &&/[^a-zA-Z]/.test(text.charAt(i))){
            if (text.charAt(i) == "'") {
                if (i + 2 == text.length &&/[a-zA-Z]/.test(text.charAt(i + 1)))
                    firstLtr = 3;
                else if (i + 2 < text.length &&/[^a-zA-Z]/.test(text.charAt(i + 2)))
                    firstLtr = 3;
            }
        if (firstLtr == 3)
            firstLtr = 1;
        else
            firstLtr = 0;
        }
        if (firstLtr == 2) {
            firstLtr = 1;
            text = text.substr(0, i) + text.charAt(i).toUpperCase() + text.substr(i + 1);
        }
        else {
            text = text.substr(0, i) + text.charAt(i).toLowerCase() + text.substr(i + 1);
        }
    }
}

titleCase("pAt o'Neil's");
// returns "Pat O'Neil's";

Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib error when trying to run 'rails server' on OS X 10.6 with mysql2 gem

I was never able to get any of these answers to work for me, but this is the command that I used to make it work for me. This way you don't need to use install_name_tool every time you update your mysql

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

SQL Server: How to use UNION with two queries that BOTH have a WHERE clause?

The answer is misleading because it attempts to fix a problem that is not a problem. You actually CAN have a WHERE CLAUSE in each segment of a UNION. You cannot have an ORDER BY except in the last segment. Therefore, this should work...

select top 2 t1.ID, t1.ReceivedDate
from Table t1
where t1.Type = 'TYPE_1'
-----remove this-- order by ReceivedDate desc
union
select top 2 t2.ID,  t2.ReceivedDate --- add second column
  from Table t2
 where t2.Type = 'TYPE_2'
order by ReceivedDate desc

How do I clear the content of a div using JavaScript?

Just Javascript (as requested)

Add this function somewhere on your page (preferably in the <head>)

function clearBox(elementID)
{
    document.getElementById(elementID).innerHTML = "";
}

Then add the button on click event:

<button onclick="clearBox('cart_item')" />

In JQuery (for reference)

If you prefer JQuery you could do:

$("#cart_item").html("");

How to deal with "data of class uneval" error from ggplot2?

This could also occur if you refer to a variable in the data.frame that doesn't exist. For example, recently I forgot to tell ddply to summarize by one of my variables that I used in geom_line to specify line color. Then, ggplot didn't know where to find the variable I hadn't created in the summary table, and I got this error.

Null vs. False vs. 0 in PHP

One interesting fact about NULL in PHP: If you set a var equal to NULL, it is the same as if you had called unset() on it.

NULL essentially means a variable has no value assigned to it; false is a valid Boolean value, 0 is a valid integer value, and PHP has some fairly ugly conversions between 0, "0", "", and false.

Error while retrieving information from the server RPC:s-7:AEC-0 in Google play?

As I never had a paid app in my google account I don't think its related to credit cards nor to cache clear in google services.

the trick that worked for me :

  1. change the Android date back and forth once (manually).
  2. re-sync my google account (manually).
  3. go to Play app and download . all worked just fine this time.

I did notice a 2-3 hours idle will also fix it by itself.

How to draw vectors (physical 2D/3D vectors) in MATLAB?

I agree with Aamir that the submission arrow.m from Erik Johnson on the MathWorks File Exchange is a very nice option. You can use it to illustrate the different methods of vector addition like so:

  • Tip-to-tail method:

    o = [0 0 0];  %# Origin
    a = [2 3 5];  %# Vector 1
    b = [1 1 0];  %# Vector 2
    c = a+b;      %# Resultant
    arrowStarts = [o; a; o];        %# Starting points for arrows
    arrowEnds = [a; c; c];          %# Ending points for arrows
    arrow(arrowStarts,arrowEnds);   %# Plot arrows
    
  • Parallelogram method:

    o = [0 0 0];  %# Origin
    a = [2 3 5];  %# Vector 1
    b = [1 1 0];  %# Vector 2
    c = a+b;      %# Resultant
    arrowStarts = [o; o; o];        %# Starting points for arrows
    arrowEnds = [a; b; c];          %# Ending points for arrows
    arrow(arrowStarts,arrowEnds);   %# Plot arrows
    hold on;
    lineX = [a(1) b(1); c(1) c(1)];  %# X data for lines
    lineY = [a(2) b(2); c(2) c(2)];  %# Y data for lines
    lineZ = [a(3) b(3); c(3) c(3)];  %# Z data for lines
    line(lineX,lineY,lineZ,'Color','k','LineStyle',':');  %# Plot lines
    

How to directly move camera to current location in Google Maps Android API v2?

The above answer is not according to what Google Doc Referred for Location Tracking in Google api v2.

SQL Format as of Round off removing decimals

CAST(Round(MySum * 20.0 /100, 0) AS INT)

FYI

MySum * 20 /100, I get 11

This is because when all 3 operands are INTs, SQL Server will do perform integer maths, from left to right, truncating all intermediate results.

58 * 20 / 100 => 1160 / 100 => 11 (truncated from 11.6)

Also for the record ROUND(m,n) returns the result to n decimal places, not n significant figures.

Adding an HTTP Header to the request in a servlet filter

You'll have to use an HttpServletRequestWrapper:

public void doFilter(final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, final FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    final HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
    HttpServletRequestWrapper wrapper = new HttpServletRequestWrapper(httpRequest) {
        @Override
        public String getHeader(String name) {
            final String value = request.getParameter(name);
            if (value != null) {
                return value;
            }
            return super.getHeader(name);
        }
    };
    chain.doFilter(wrapper, response);
}

Depending on what you want to do you may need to implement other methods of the wrapper like getHeaderNames for instance. Just be aware that this is trusting the client and allowing them to manipulate any HTTP header. You may want to sandbox it and only allow certain header values to be modified this way.

Test for multiple cases in a switch, like an OR (||)

You have to switch it!

switch (true) {
    case ( (pageid === "listing-page") || (pageid === ("home-page") ):
        alert("hello");
        break;
    case (pageid === "details-page"):
        alert("goodbye");
        break;
}

How do I pass a datetime value as a URI parameter in asp.net mvc?

I thought I'd share what works for me in MVC5 for anyone that comes looking for a similar answer.

My Controller Signature looks like this:

public ActionResult Index(DateTime? EventDate, DateTime? EventTime)
{

}

My ActionLink looks like this in Razor:

@Url.Action("Index", "Book", new { EventDate = apptTime, EventTime = apptTime})

This gives a URL like this:

Book?EventDate=01%2F20%2F2016%2014%3A15%3A00&EventTime=01%2F20%2F2016%2014%3A15%3A00

Which encodes the date and time as it should.

boto3 client NoRegionError: You must specify a region error only sometimes

For Python 2 I have found that the boto3 library does not source the region from the ~/.aws/config if the region is defined in a different profile to default. So you have to define it in the session creation.

session = boto3.Session(
    profile_name='NotDefault',
    region_name='ap-southeast-2'
)

print(session.available_profiles)

client = session.client(
    'ec2'
)

Where my ~/.aws/config file looks like this:

[default]
region=ap-southeast-2

[NotDefault]
region=ap-southeast-2

I do this because I use different profiles for different logins to AWS, Personal and Work.

Why use multiple columns as primary keys (composite primary key)

The W3Schools example isn't saying when you should use compound primary keys, and is only giving example syntax using the same example table as for other keys.

Their choice of example is perhaps misleading you by combining a meaningless key (P_Id) and a natural key (LastName). This odd choice of primary key says that the following rows are valid according to the schema and are necessary to uniquely identify a student. Intuitively this doesn't make sense.

1234     Jobs
1234     Gates

Further Reading: The great primary-key debate or just Google meaningless primary keys or even peruse this SO question

FWIW - My 2 cents is to avoid multi-column primary keys and use a single generated id field (surrogate key) as the primary key and add additional (unique) constraints where necessary.

Applications are expected to have a root view controller at the end of application launch

If you use MTStatusBarOverlay, then you'll get this error.

MTStatusBarOverlay creates an additional window ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows) which doesn't have a root controller.

                            String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
                            //result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
                        }
                }

Checking the form field values before submitting that page

use return before calling the function, while you click the submit button, two events(form posting as you used submit button and function call for onclick) will happen, to prevent form posting you have to return false, you have did it, also you have to specify the return i.e, to expect a value from the function,

this is a code:

input type="submit" name="continue" value="submit" onClick="**return** checkform();"

jQuery.ajax handling continue responses: "success:" vs ".done"?

success has been the traditional name of the success callback in jQuery, defined as an option in the ajax call. However, since the implementation of $.Deferreds and more sophisticated callbacks, done is the preferred way to implement success callbacks, as it can be called on any deferred.

For example, success:

$.ajax({
  url: '/',
  success: function(data) {}
});

For example, done:

$.ajax({url: '/'}).done(function(data) {});

The nice thing about done is that the return value of $.ajax is now a deferred promise that can be bound to anywhere else in your application. So let's say you want to make this ajax call from a few different places. Rather than passing in your success function as an option to the function that makes this ajax call, you can just have the function return $.ajax itself and bind your callbacks with done, fail, then, or whatever. Note that always is a callback that will run whether the request succeeds or fails. done will only be triggered on success.

For example:

function xhr_get(url) {

  return $.ajax({
    url: url,
    type: 'get',
    dataType: 'json',
    beforeSend: showLoadingImgFn
  })
  .always(function() {
    // remove loading image maybe
  })
  .fail(function() {
    // handle request failures
  });

}

xhr_get('/index').done(function(data) {
  // do stuff with index data
});

xhr_get('/id').done(function(data) {
  // do stuff with id data
});

An important benefit of this in terms of maintainability is that you've wrapped your ajax mechanism in an application-specific function. If you decide you need your $.ajax call to operate differently in the future, or you use a different ajax method, or you move away from jQuery, you only have to change the xhr_get definition (being sure to return a promise or at least a done method, in the case of the example above). All the other references throughout the app can remain the same.

There are many more (much cooler) things you can do with $.Deferred, one of which is to use pipe to trigger a failure on an error reported by the server, even when the $.ajax request itself succeeds. For example:

function xhr_get(url) {

  return $.ajax({
    url: url,
    type: 'get',
    dataType: 'json'
  })
  .pipe(function(data) {
    return data.responseCode != 200 ?
      $.Deferred().reject( data ) :
      data;
  })
  .fail(function(data) {
    if ( data.responseCode )
      console.log( data.responseCode );
  });
}

xhr_get('/index').done(function(data) {
  // will not run if json returned from ajax has responseCode other than 200
});

NOTE: As of jQuery 1.8, pipe has been deprecated in favor of using then in exactly the same way.

How can I check if a View exists in a Database?

You can check the availability of the view in various ways

FOR SQL SERVER

use sys.objects

IF EXISTS(
   SELECT 1
   FROM   sys.objects
   WHERE  OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('[schemaName].[ViewName]')
          AND Type_Desc = 'VIEW'
)
BEGIN
    PRINT 'View Exists'
END

use sysobjects

IF NOT EXISTS (
   SELECT 1
   FROM   sysobjects
   WHERE  NAME = '[schemaName].[ViewName]'
          AND xtype = 'V'
)
BEGIN
    PRINT 'View Exists'
END

use sys.views

IF EXISTS (
   SELECT 1
   FROM sys.views
   WHERE OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(N'[schemaName].[ViewName]')
)
BEGIN
    PRINT 'View Exists'
END

use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS

IF EXISTS (
   SELECT 1
   FROM   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS
   WHERE  table_name = 'ViewName'
          AND table_schema = 'schemaName'
)
BEGIN
    PRINT 'View Exists'
END

use OBJECT_ID

IF EXISTS(
   SELECT OBJECT_ID('ViewName', 'V')
)
BEGIN
    PRINT 'View Exists'
END

use sys.sql_modules

IF EXISTS (
   SELECT 1
   FROM   sys.sql_modules
   WHERE  OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('[schemaName].[ViewName]')
)
BEGIN
   PRINT 'View Exists'
END

Filename too long in Git for Windows

In Windows, you can follow these steps which worked for me.

  1. Open your cmd or git bash as an administrator
  1. Give the following command either from cmd or git bash which you ran above as an administrator
git config --system core.longpaths true
  1. This will allow accessing long paths globally

  2. And now you can clone the repository with no issues with long paths

HTML Form Redirect After Submit

Try this Javascript (jquery) code. Its an ajax request to an external URL. Use the callback function to fire any code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
  $('form').submit(function(){
    $.post('http://example.com/upload', function() {
      window.location = 'http://google.com';
    });
    return false;
  });
});
</script>

Sql query to insert datetime in SQL Server

You will want to use the YYYYMMDD for unambiguous date determination in SQL Server.

insert into table1(approvaldate)values('20120618 10:34:09 AM');

If you are married to the dd-mm-yy hh:mm:ss xm format, you will need to use CONVERT with the specific style.

insert into table1 (approvaldate)
       values (convert(datetime,'18-06-12 10:34:09 PM',5));

5 here is the style for Italian dates. Well, not just Italians, but that's the culture it's attributed to in Books Online.
