spring data jpa @query and pageable

I found it works different among different jpa versions, for debug, you'd better add this configurations to show generated sql, it will save your time a lot !

spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.format_sql=true

for spring boot 2.1.6.RELEASE, it works good!

Sort sort = new Sort(Sort.Direction.DESC, "column_name");
int pageNumber = 3, pageSize = 5;
Pageable pageable = PageRequest.of(pageNumber - 1, pageSize, sort);
@Query(value = "select * from integrity_score_view " +
        "where (?1 is null or data_hour >= ?1 ) " +
        "and (?2 is null or data_hour <= ?2 ) " +
        "and (?3 is null or ?3 = '' or park_no = ?3 ) " +
        "group by park_name, data_hour ",
        countQuery = "select count(*) from integrity_score_view " +
                "where (?1 is null or data_hour >= ?1 ) " +
                "and (?2 is null or data_hour <= ?2 ) " +
                "and (?3 is null or ?3 = '' or park_no = ?3 ) " +
                "group by park_name, data_hour",
        nativeQuery = true
)
Page<IntegrityScoreView> queryParkView(Date from, Date to, String parkNo, Pageable pageable);

you DO NOT write order by and limit, it generates the right sql

SOAP vs REST (differences)

IMHO you can't compare SOAP and REST where those are two different things.

SOAP is a protocol and REST is a software architectural pattern. There is a lot of misconception in the internet for SOAP vs REST.

SOAP defines XML based message format that web service-enabled applications use to communicate each other over the internet. In order to do that the applications need prior knowledge of the message contract, datatypes, etc..

REST represents the state(as resources) of a server from an URL.It is stateless and clients should not have prior knowledge to interact with server beyond the understanding of hypermedia.

Gridview row editing - dynamic binding to a DropDownList

Quite easy... You're doing it wrong, because by that event the control is not there:

protected void gv_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && 
        (e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) == DataControlRowState.Edit)
    { 
        // Here you will get the Control you need like:
        DropDownList dl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlPBXTypeNS");
    }
}

That is, it will only be valid for a DataRow (the actually row with data), and if it's in Edit mode... because you only edit one row at a time. The e.Row.FindControl("ddlPBXTypeNS") will only find the control that you want.

Is there a way to split a widescreen monitor in to two or more virtual monitors?

The next version of Windows (Windows 7) will be able to snap windows to the left or right half of the screen. Doesn't help right now, but it's something to look forward to.

Python strftime - date without leading 0?

Actually I had the same problem and I realized that, if you add a hyphen between the % and the letter, you can remove the leading zero.

For example %Y/%-m/%-d.

This only works on Unix (Linux, OS X), not Windows (including Cygwin). On Windows, you would use #, e.g. %Y/%#m/%#d.

How to use in jQuery :not and hasClass() to get a specific element without a class

jQuery's hasClass() method returns a boolean (true/false) and not an element. Also, the parameter to be given to it is a class name and not a selector as such.

For ex: x.hasClass('error');

Why does the arrow (->) operator in C exist?

I'll interpret your question as two questions: 1) why -> even exists, and 2) why . does not automatically dereference the pointer. Answers to both questions have historical roots.

Why does -> even exist?

In one of the very first versions of C language (which I will refer as CRM for "C Reference Manual", which came with 6th Edition Unix in May 1975), operator -> had very exclusive meaning, not synonymous with * and . combination

The C language described by CRM was very different from the modern C in many respects. In CRM struct members implemented the global concept of byte offset, which could be added to any address value with no type restrictions. I.e. all names of all struct members had independent global meaning (and, therefore, had to be unique). For example you could declare

struct S {
  int a;
  int b;
};

and name a would stand for offset 0, while name b would stand for offset 2 (assuming int type of size 2 and no padding). The language required all members of all structs in the translation unit either have unique names or stand for the same offset value. E.g. in the same translation unit you could additionally declare

struct X {
  int a;
  int x;
};

and that would be OK, since the name a would consistently stand for offset 0. But this additional declaration

struct Y {
  int b;
  int a;
};

would be formally invalid, since it attempted to "redefine" a as offset 2 and b as offset 0.

And this is where the -> operator comes in. Since every struct member name had its own self-sufficient global meaning, the language supported expressions like these

int i = 5;
i->b = 42;  /* Write 42 into `int` at address 7 */
100->a = 0; /* Write 0 into `int` at address 100 */

The first assignment was interpreted by the compiler as "take address 5, add offset 2 to it and assign 42 to the int value at the resultant address". I.e. the above would assign 42 to int value at address 7. Note that this use of -> did not care about the type of the expression on the left-hand side. The left hand side was interpreted as an rvalue numerical address (be it a pointer or an integer).

This sort of trickery was not possible with * and . combination. You could not do

(*i).b = 42;

since *i is already an invalid expression. The * operator, since it is separate from ., imposes more strict type requirements on its operand. To provide a capability to work around this limitation CRM introduced the -> operator, which is independent from the type of the left-hand operand.

As Keith noted in the comments, this difference between -> and *+. combination is what CRM is referring to as "relaxation of the requirement" in 7.1.8: Except for the relaxation of the requirement that E1 be of pointer type, the expression E1->MOS is exactly equivalent to (*E1).MOS

Later, in K&R C many features originally described in CRM were significantly reworked. The idea of "struct member as global offset identifier" was completely removed. And the functionality of -> operator became fully identical to the functionality of * and . combination.

Why can't . dereference the pointer automatically?

Again, in CRM version of the language the left operand of the . operator was required to be an lvalue. That was the only requirement imposed on that operand (and that's what made it different from ->, as explained above). Note that CRM did not require the left operand of . to have a struct type. It just required it to be an lvalue, any lvalue. This means that in CRM version of C you could write code like this

struct S { int a, b; };
struct T { float x, y, z; };

struct T c;
c.b = 55;

In this case the compiler would write 55 into an int value positioned at byte-offset 2 in the continuous memory block known as c, even though type struct T had no field named b. The compiler would not care about the actual type of c at all. All it cared about is that c was an lvalue: some sort of writable memory block.

Now note that if you did this

S *s;
...
s.b = 42;

the code would be considered valid (since s is also an lvalue) and the compiler would simply attempt to write data into the pointer s itself, at byte-offset 2. Needless to say, things like this could easily result in memory overrun, but the language did not concern itself with such matters.

I.e. in that version of the language your proposed idea about overloading operator . for pointer types would not work: operator . already had very specific meaning when used with pointers (with lvalue pointers or with any lvalues at all). It was very weird functionality, no doubt. But it was there at the time.

Of course, this weird functionality is not a very strong reason against introducing overloaded . operator for pointers (as you suggested) in the reworked version of C - K&R C. But it hasn't been done. Maybe at that time there was some legacy code written in CRM version of C that had to be supported.

(The URL for the 1975 C Reference Manual may not be stable. Another copy, possibly with some subtle differences, is here.)

Get the current file name in gulp.src()

Here is another simple way.

var es, log, logFile;

es = require('event-stream');

log = require('gulp-util').log;

logFile = function(es) {
  return es.map(function(file, cb) {
    log(file.path);
    return cb();
  });
};

gulp.task("do", function() {
 return gulp.src('./examples/*.html')
   .pipe(logFile(es))
   .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});

Getting all request parameters in Symfony 2

Since you are in a controller, the action method is given a Request parameter.

You can access all POST data with $request->request->all();. This returns a key-value pair array.

When using GET requests you access data using $request->query->all();

golang why don't we have a set datastructure

Partly, because Go doesn't have generics (so you would need one set-type for every type, or fall back on reflection, which is rather inefficient).

Partly, because if all you need is "add/remove individual elements to a set" and "relatively space-efficient", you can get a fair bit of that simply by using a map[yourtype]bool (and set the value to true for any element in the set) or, for more space efficiency, you can use an empty struct as the value and use _, present = the_setoid[key] to check for presence.

Javascript to Select Multiple options

Based on @Peter Baley answer, I created a more generic function:

   @objectId: HTML object ID
   @values: can be a string or an array. String is less "secure" (should not contain repeated value).
   function checkMultiValues(objectId, values){
        selectMultiObject=document.getElementById(objectId);
        for ( var i = 0, l = selectMultiObject.options.length, o; i < l; i++ )
        {
          o = selectMultiObject.options[i];
          if ( values.indexOf( o.value ) != -1 )
          {
            o.selected = true;
          } else {
            o.selected = false;
          }
        }
    }

Example: checkMultiValues('thisMultiHTMLObject','a,b,c,d');

What is the correct way to free memory in C#

Objects are eligable for garbage collection once they go out of scope become unreachable (thanks ben!). The memory won't be freed unless the garbage collector believes you are running out of memory.

For managed resources, the garbage collector will know when this is, and you don't need to do anything.

For unmanaged resources (such as connections to databases or opened files) the garbage collector has no way of knowing how much memory they are consuming, and that is why you need to free them manually (using dispose, or much better still the using block)

If objects are not being freed, either you have plenty of memory left and there is no need, or you are maintaining a reference to them in your application, and therefore the garbage collector will not free them (in case you actually use this reference you maintained)

How to round the minute of a datetime object

yes, if your data belongs to a DateTime column in a pandas series, you can round it up using the built-in pandas.Series.dt.round function. See documentation here on pandas.Series.dt.round. In your case of rounding to 10min it will be Series.dt.round('10min') or Series.dt.round('600s') like so:

pandas.Series(tm).dt.round('10min')

Edit to add Example code:

import datetime
import pandas

tm = datetime.datetime(2010, 6, 10, 3, 56, 23)
tm_rounded = pandas.Series(tm).dt.round('10min')
print(tm_rounded)

>>> 0   2010-06-10 04:00:00
dtype: datetime64[ns]

toggle show/hide div with button?

Here's a plain Javascript way of doing toggle:

<script>
  var toggle = function() {
  var mydiv = document.getElementById('newpost');
  if (mydiv.style.display === 'block' || mydiv.style.display === '')
    mydiv.style.display = 'none';
  else
    mydiv.style.display = 'block'
  }
</script>

<div id="newpost">asdf</div>
<input type="button" value="btn" onclick="toggle();">

Java: Reading integers from a file into an array

You might have confusions between the different line endings. A Windows file will end each line with a carriage return and a line feed. Some programs on Unix will read that file as if it had an extra blank line between each line, because it will see the carriage return as an end of line, and then see the line feed as another end of line.

Java : Cannot format given Object as a Date

DateFormat.format only works on Date values.

You should use two SimpleDateFormat objects: one for parsing, and one for formatting. For example:

// Note, MM is months, not mm
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/yyyy", Locale.US);
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX", Locale.US);

String inputText = "2012-11-17T00:00:00.000-05:00";
Date date = inputFormat.parse(inputText);
String outputText = outputFormat.format(date);

EDIT: Note that you may well want to specify the time zone and/or locale in your formats, and you should also consider using Joda Time instead of all of this to start with - it's a much better date/time API.

Operand type clash: uniqueidentifier is incompatible with int

If you're accessing this via a View then try sp_recompile or refreshing views.

sp_recompile:

Causes stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions to be recompiled the next time that they are run. It does this by dropping the existing plan from the procedure cache forcing a new plan to be created the next time that the procedure or trigger is run. In a SQL Server Profiler collection, the event SP:CacheInsert is logged instead of the event SP:Recompile.

Arguments

[ @objname= ] 'object'

The qualified or unqualified name of a stored procedure, trigger, table, view, or user-defined function in the current database. object is nvarchar(776), with no default. If object is the name of a stored procedure, trigger, or user-defined function, the stored procedure, trigger, or function will be recompiled the next time that it is run. If object is the name of a table or view, all the stored procedures, triggers, or user-defined functions that reference the table or view will be recompiled the next time that they are run.

Return Code Values

0 (success) or a nonzero number (failure)

Remarks

sp_recompile looks for an object in the current database only.

The queries used by stored procedures, or triggers, and user-defined functions are optimized only when they are compiled. As indexes or other changes that affect statistics are made to the database, compiled stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions may lose efficiency. By recompiling stored procedures and triggers that act on a table, you can reoptimize the queries.

Take a look at the getopt library; it's pretty much the gold standard for this sort of thing.

How can I use inverse or negative wildcards when pattern matching in a unix/linux shell?

The extglob shell option gives you more powerful pattern matching in the command line.

You turn it on with shopt -s extglob, and turn it off with shopt -u extglob.

In your example, you would initially do:

$ shopt -s extglob
$ cp !(*Music*) /target_directory

The full available extended globbing operators are (excerpt from man bash):

If the extglob shell option is enabled using the shopt builtin, several extended pattern matching operators are recognized.A pattern-list is a list of one or more patterns separated by a |. Composite patterns may be formed using one or more of the following sub-patterns:

  • ?(pattern-list)
    Matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns
  • *(pattern-list)
    Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns
  • +(pattern-list)
    Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns
  • @(pattern-list)
    Matches one of the given patterns
  • !(pattern-list)
    Matches anything except one of the given patterns

So, for example, if you wanted to list all the files in the current directory that are not .c or .h files, you would do:

$ ls -d !(*@(.c|.h))

Of course, normal shell globing works, so the last example could also be written as:

$ ls -d !(*.[ch])

How can I programmatically invoke an onclick() event from a anchor tag while keeping the ‘this’ reference in the onclick function?

The best way to solve this is to use Vanilla JS, but if you are already using jQuery, there´s a very easy solution:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function doOnClick() {
        $('#linkid').click();
    }
</script>
<a id="linkid" href="/testlocation" onclick="alert(this.href);">Testlink</a>

Tested in IE8-10, Chrome, Firefox.

How to use jQuery to show/hide divs based on radio button selection?

The simple jquery source for the same -

$("input:radio[name='group1']").click(function() {      
    $('.desc').hide();
    $('#' + $("input:radio[name='group1']:checked").val()).show();
});

In order to make it little more appropriate just add checked to first option --

<div><label><input type="radio" name="group1" value="opt1" checked>opt1</label></div>  

remove .desc class from styling and modify divs like --

<div id="opt1" class="desc">lorem ipsum dolor</div>
<div id="opt2" class="desc" style="display: none;">consectetur adipisicing</div>
<div id="opt3" class="desc" style="display: none;">sed do eiusmod tempor</div>

it will really look good any-ways.

How to export all data from table to an insertable sql format?

How to make bootstrap 3 fluid layout without horizontal scrollbar

Update from 2014, from Bootstrap docs:

Grids and full-width layouts Folks looking to create fully fluid layouts (meaning your site stretches the entire width of the viewport) must wrap their grid content in a containing element with padding: 0 15px; to offset the margin: 0 -15px; used on .rows.

How to add row in JTable?

For the sake of completeness, first make sure you have the correct import so you can use the addRow function:

import javax.swing.table.*;

Assuming your jTable is already created, you can proceed and create your own add row method which will accept the parameters that you need:

public void yourAddRow(String str1, String str2, String str3){
  DefaultTableModel yourModel = (DefaultTableModel) yourJTable.getModel();
  yourModel.addRow(new Object[]{str1, str2, str3});
}

How to bring a window to the front?

Here's a method that REALLY works (tested on Windows Vista) :D

   frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
   frame.setExtendedState(fullscreen ? JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH : JFrame.NORMAL);

The fullscreen variable indicates if you want the app to run full screen or windowed.

This does not flash the task bar, but bring the window to front reliably.

Reading rows from a CSV file in Python

I just leave my solution here.

import csv
import numpy as np

with open(name, newline='') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter=",")
    # skip header
    next(reader)
    # convert csv to list and then to np.array
    data  = np.array(list(reader))[:, 1:] # skip the first column

print(data.shape) # => (N, 2)

# sum each row
s = data.sum(axis=1)
print(s.shape) # => (N,)

What is the difference between JDK and JRE?

From Official java website...

JRE (Java Runtime environment):

  • It is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine* which actually executes Java programs.
  • Java Runtime Environment is a plug-in needed for running java programs.
  • The JRE is smaller than the JDK so it needs less Disk space.
  • The JRE can be downloaded/supported freely from https://www.java.com
  • It includes the JVM , Core libraries and other additional components to run applications and applets written in Java.

JDK (Java Development Kit)

  • It is a bundle of software that you can use to develop Java based applications.
  • Java Development Kit is needed for developing java applications.
  • The JDK needs more Disk space as it contains the JRE along with various development tools.
  • The JDK can be downloaded/supported freely from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/
  • It includes the JRE, set of API classes, Java compiler, Webstart and additional files needed to write Java applets and applications.

Why doesn't GCC optimize a*a*a*a*a*a to (a*a*a)*(a*a*a)?

Lambdageek correctly points out that because associativity does not hold for floating-point numbers, the "optimization" of a*a*a*a*a*a to (a*a*a)*(a*a*a) may change the value. This is why it is disallowed by C99 (unless specifically allowed by the user, via compiler flag or pragma). Generally, the assumption is that the programmer wrote what she did for a reason, and the compiler should respect that. If you want (a*a*a)*(a*a*a), write that.

That can be a pain to write, though; why can't the compiler just do [what you consider to be] the right thing when you use pow(a,6)? Because it would be the wrong thing to do. On a platform with a good math library, pow(a,6) is significantly more accurate than either a*a*a*a*a*a or (a*a*a)*(a*a*a). Just to provide some data, I ran a small experiment on my Mac Pro, measuring the worst error in evaluating a^6 for all single-precision floating numbers between [1,2):

worst relative error using    powf(a, 6.f): 5.96e-08
worst relative error using (a*a*a)*(a*a*a): 2.94e-07
worst relative error using     a*a*a*a*a*a: 2.58e-07

Using pow instead of a multiplication tree reduces the error bound by a factor of 4. Compilers should not (and generally do not) make "optimizations" that increase error unless licensed to do so by the user (e.g. via -ffast-math).

Note that GCC provides __builtin_powi(x,n) as an alternative to pow( ), which should generate an inline multiplication tree. Use that if you want to trade off accuracy for performance, but do not want to enable fast-math.

python getoutput() equivalent in subprocess

To catch errors with subprocess.check_output(), you can use CalledProcessError. If you want to use the output as string, decode it from the bytecode.

# \return String of the output, stripped from whitespace at right side; or None on failure.
def runls():
    import subprocess
    try:
        byteOutput = subprocess.check_output(['ls', '-a'], timeout=2)
        return byteOutput.decode('UTF-8').rstrip()
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print("Error in ls -a:\n", e.output)
        return None

Returning IEnumerable<T> vs. IQueryable<T>

Yes, both use deferred execution. Let's illustrate the difference using the SQL Server profiler....

When we run the following code:

MarketDevEntities db = new MarketDevEntities();

IEnumerable<WebLog> first = db.WebLogs;
var second = first.Where(c => c.DurationSeconds > 10);
var third = second.Where(c => c.WebLogID > 100);
var result = third.Where(c => c.EmailAddress.Length > 11);

Console.Write(result.First().UserName);

In SQL Server profiler we find a command equal to:

"SELECT * FROM [dbo].[WebLog]"

It approximately takes 90 seconds to run that block of code against a WebLog table which has 1 million records.

So, all table records are loaded into memory as objects, and then with each .Where() it will be another filter in memory against these objects.

When we use IQueryable instead of IEnumerable in the above example (second line):

In SQL Server profiler we find a command equal to:

"SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [dbo].[WebLog] WHERE [DurationSeconds] > 10 AND [WebLogID] > 100 AND LEN([EmailAddress]) > 11"

It approximately takes four seconds to run this block of code using IQueryable.

IQueryable has a property called Expression which stores a tree expression which starts being created when we used the result in our example (which is called deferred execution), and at the end this expression will be converted to an SQL query to run on the database engine.

JPA CascadeType.ALL does not delete orphans

If you are using JPA 2.0, you can now use the orphanRemoval=true attribute of the @xxxToMany annotation to remove orphans.

Actually, CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN has been deprecated in 3.5.2-Final.

Set environment variables on Mac OS X Lion

First, one thing to recognize about OS X is that it is built on Unix. This is where the .bash_profile comes in. When you start the Terminal app in OS X you get a bash shell by default. The bash shell comes from Unix and when it loads it runs the .bash_profile script. You can modify this script for your user to change your settings. This file is located at:

~/.bash_profile

Update for Mavericks

OS X Mavericks does not use the environment.plist - at least not for OS X windows applications. You can use the launchd configuration for windowed applications. The .bash_profile is still supported since that is part of the bash shell used in Terminal.

Lion and Mountain Lion Only

OS X windowed applications receive environment variables from the your environment.plist file. This is likely what you mean by the ".plist" file. This file is located at:

~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

If you make a change to your environment.plist file then OS X windows applications, including the Terminal app, will have those environment variables set. Any environment variable you set in your .bash_profile will only affect your bash shells.

Generally I only set variables in my .bash_profile file and don't change the .plist file (or launchd file on Mavericks). Most OS X windowed applications don't need any custom environment. Only when an application actually needs a specific environment variable do I change the environment.plist (or launchd file on Mavericks).

It sounds like what you want is to change the environment.plist file, rather than the .bash_profile.

One last thing, if you look for those files, I think you will not find them. If I recall correctly, they were not on my initial install of Lion.

Edit: Here are some instructions for creating a plist file.

  1. Open Xcode
  2. Select File -> New -> New File...
  3. Under Mac OS X select Resources
  4. Choose a plist file
  5. Follow the rest of the prompts

To edit the file, you can Control-click to get a menu and select Add Row. You then can add a key value pair. For environment variables, the key is the environment variable name and the value is the actual value for that environment variable.

Once the plist file is created you can open it with Xcode to modify it anytime you wish.

Design DFA accepting binary strings divisible by a number 'n'

Below, I have written an answer for n equals to 5, but you can apply same approach to draw DFAs for any value of n and 'any positional number system' e.g binary, ternary...

First lean the term 'Complete DFA', A DFA defined on complete domain in d:Q × S?Q is called 'Complete DFA'. In other words we can say; in transition diagram of complete DFA there is no missing edge (e.g. from each state in Q there is one outgoing edge present for every language symbol in S). Note: Sometime we define partial DFA as d ? Q × S?Q (Read: How does “d:Q × S?Q” read in the definition of a DFA).

Design DFA accepting Binary numbers divisible by number 'n':

Step-1: When you divide a number ? by n then reminder can be either 0, 1, ..., (n - 2) or (n - 1). If remainder is 0 that means ? is divisible by n otherwise not. So, in my DFA there will be a state qr that would be corresponding to a remainder value r, where 0 <= r <= (n - 1), and total number of states in DFA is n.
After processing a number string ? over S, the end state is qr implies that ? % n => r (% reminder operator).

In any automata, the purpose of a state is like memory element. A state in an atomata stores some information like fan's switch that can tell whether the fan is in 'off' or in 'on' state. For n = 5, five states in DFA corresponding to five reminder information as follows:

  1. State q0 reached if reminder is 0. State q0 is the final state(accepting state). It is also an initial state.
  2. State q1 reaches if reminder is 1, a non-final state.
  3. State q2 if reminder is 2, a non-final state.
  4. State q3 if reminder is 3, a non-final state.
  5. State q4 if reminder is 4, a non-final state.

Using above information, we can start drawing transition diagram TD of five states as follows:

fig-1
Figure-1

So, 5 states for 5 remainder values. After processing a string ? if end-state becomes q0 that means decimal equivalent of input string is divisible by 5. In above figure q0 is marked final state as two concentric circle.
Additionally, I have defined a transition rule d:(q0, 0)?q0 as a self loop for symbol '0' at state q0, this is because decimal equivalent of any string consist of only '0' is 0 and 0 is a divisible by n.

Step-2: TD above is incomplete; and can only process strings of '0's. Now add some more edges so that it can process subsequent number's strings. Check table below, shows new transition rules those can be added next step:

+-------------------------------------+
¦Number¦Binary¦Remainder(%5)¦End-state¦
+------+------+-------------+---------¦
¦One   ¦1     ¦1            ¦q1       ¦

+------+------+-------------+---------¦
¦Four  ¦100   ¦4            ¦q4       ¦
+-------------------------------------+
  1. To process binary string '1' there should be a transition rule d:(q0, 1)?q1
  2. Two:- binary representation is '10', end-state should be q2, and to process '10', we just need to add one more transition rule d:(q1, 0)?q2
    Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-0?(q2)
  3. Three:- in binary it is '11', end-state is q3, and we need to add a transition rule d:(q1, 1)?q3
    Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-1?(q3)
  4. Four:- in binary '100', end-state is q4. TD already processes prefix string '10' and we just need to add a new transition rule d:(q2, 0)?q4
    Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-0?(q2)-0?(q4)

fig-2 Figure-2

Step-3: Five = 101
Above transition diagram in figure-2 is still incomplete and there are many missing edges, for an example no transition is defined for d:(q2, 1)-?. And the rule should be present to process strings like '101'.
Because '101' = 5 is divisible by 5, and to accept '101' I will add d:(q2, 1)?q0 in above figure-2.
Path: ?(q0)-1?(q1)-0?(q2)-1?(q0)
with this new rule, transition diagram becomes as follows:

fig-3 Figure-3

Below in each step I pick next subsequent binary number to add a missing edge until I get TD as a 'complete DFA'.

Step-4: Six = 110.

We can process '11' in present TD in figure-3 as: ?(q0)-11?(q3) -0?(?). Because 6 % 5 = 1 this means to add one rule d:(q3, 0)?q1.

fig-12
Figure-12

Total number of edges in transition diagram figure-12 are 15 = Q × S = 5 * 3 (a complete DFA). And this DFA can accept all strings consist over {0, 1, 2} those decimal equivalent is divisible by 5.
If you notice at each step, in table there are three entries because at each step I add all possible outgoing edge from a state to make a complete DFA (and I add an edge so that qr state gets for remainder is r)!

To add further, remember union of two regular languages are also a regular. If you need to design a DFA that accepts binary strings those decimal equivalent is either divisible by 3 or 5, then draw two separate DFAs for divisible by 3 and 5 then union both DFAs to construct target DFA (for 1 <= n <= 10 your have to union 10 DFAs).

If you are asked to draw DFA that accepts binary strings such that decimal equivalent is divisible by 5 and 3 both then you are looking for DFA of divisible by 15 ( but what about 6 and 8?).

Note: DFAs drawn with this technique will be minimized DFA only when there is no common factor between number n and base e.g. there is no between 5 and 2 in first example, or between 5 and 3 in second example, hence both DFAs constructed above are minimized DFAs. If you are interested to read further about possible mini states for number n and base b read paper: Divisibility and State Complexity.

below I have added a Python script, I written it for fun while learning Python library pygraphviz. I am adding it I hope it can be helpful for someone in someway.

Design DFA for base 'b' number strings divisible by number 'n':

So we can apply above trick to draw DFA to recognize number strings in any base 'b' those are divisible a given number 'n'. In that DFA total number of states will be n (for n remainders) and number of edges should be equal to 'b' * 'n' — that is complete DFA: 'b' = number of symbols in language of DFA and 'n' = number of states.

Using above trick, below I have written a Python Script to Draw DFA for input base and number. In script, function divided_by_N populates DFA's transition rules in base * number steps. In each step-num, I convert num into number string num_s using function baseN(). To avoid processing each number string, I have used a temporary data-structure lookup_table. In each step, end-state for number string num_s is evaluated and stored in lookup_table to use in next step.

For transition graph of DFA, I have written a function draw_transition_graph using Pygraphviz library (very easy to use). To use this script you need to install graphviz. To add colorful edges in transition diagram, I randomly generates color codes for each symbol get_color_dict function.

Mocking Logger and LoggerFactory with PowerMock and Mockito

Use explicit injection. No other approach will allow you for instance to run tests in parallel in the same JVM.

Patterns that use anything classloader wide like static log binder or messing with environmental thinks like logback.XML are bust when it comes to testing.

Consider the parallelized tests I mention , or consider the case where you want to intercept logging of component A whose construction is hidden behind api B. This latter case is easy to deal with if you are using a dependency injected loggerfactory from the top, but not if you inject Logger as there no seam in this assembly at ILoggerFactory.getLogger.

And its not all about unit testing either. Sometimes we want integration tests to emit logging. Sometimes we don't. Someone's we want some of the integration testing logging to be selectively suppressed, eg for expected errors that would otherwise clutter the CI console and confuse. All easy if you inject ILoggerFactory from the top of your mainline (or whatever di framework you might use)

So...

Either inject a reporter as suggested or adopt a pattern of injecting the ILoggerFactory. By explicit ILoggerFactory injection rather than Logger you can support many access/intercept patterns and parallelization.

"Thinking in AngularJS" if I have a jQuery background?

They're apples and oranges. You don't want to compare them. They're two different things. AngularJs has already jQuery lite built in which allows you to perform basic DOM manipulation without even including the full blown jQuery version.

jQuery is all about DOM manipulation. It solves all the cross browser pain otherwise you will have to deal with but it's not a framework that allows you to divide your app into components like AngularJS.

A nice thing about AngularJs is that it allows you to separate/isolate the DOM manipulation in the directives. There are built-in directives ready for you to use such as ng-click. You can create your own custom directives that will contain all your view logic or DOM manipulation so you don't end up mingle DOM manipulation code in the controllers or services that should take care of the business logic.

Angular breaks down your app into - Controllers - Services - Views - etc.

and there is one more thing, that's the directive. It's an attribute you can attach to any DOM element and you can go nuts with jQuery within it without worrying about your jQuery ever conflicts with AngularJs components or messes up with its architecture.

I heard from a meetup I attended, one of the founders of Angular said they worked really hard to separate out the DOM manipulation so do not try to include them back in.

It gets System.Drawing.Bitmap (from WindowsBased) and converts it into BitmapSource, which can be actually used as image source for your Image control in WPF.

image1.Source = YourUtilClass.loadBitmap(SomeBitmap);

How to restore PostgreSQL dump file into Postgres databases?

You didn't mention how your backup was made, so the generic answer is: Usually with the psql tool.

Depending on what pg_dump was instructed to dump, the SQL file can have different sets of SQL commands. For example, if you instruct pg_dump to dump a database using --clean and --schema-only, you can't expect to be able to restore the database from that dump as there will be no SQL commands for COPYing (or INSERTing if --inserts is used ) the actual data in the tables. A dump like that will contain only DDL SQL commands, and will be able to recreate the schema but not the actual data.

A typical SQL dump is restored with psql:

psql (connection options here) database  < yourbackup.sql

or alternatively from a psql session,

psql (connection options here) database
database=# \i /path/to/yourbackup.sql

In the case of backups made with pg_dump -Fc ("custom format"), which is not a plain SQL file but a compressed file, you need to use the pg_restore tool.

If you're working on a unix-like, try this:

man psql
man pg_dump
man pg_restore

otherwise, take a look at the html docs. Good luck!

Copy and Paste a set range in the next empty row

Be careful with the "Range(...)" without first qualifying a Worksheet because it will use the currently Active worksheet to make the copy from. It's best to fully qualify both sheets. Please give this a shot (please change "Sheet1" with the copy worksheet):

EDIT: edited for pasting values only based on comments below.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  Dim copySheet As Worksheet
  Dim pasteSheet As Worksheet

  Set copySheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
  Set pasteSheet = Worksheets("Sheet2")

  copySheet.Range("A3:E3").Copy
  pasteSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
  Application.CutCopyMode = False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

What are some good Python ORM solutions?

I usually use SQLAlchemy. It's pretty powerful and is probably the most mature python ORM.

If you're planning on using CherryPy, you might also look into dejavu as it's by Robert Brewer (the guy that is the current CherryPy project leader). I personally haven't used it, but I do know some people that love it.

SQLObject is a little bit easier to use ORM than SQLAlchemy, but it's not quite as powerful.

Personally, I wouldn't use the Django ORM unless I was planning on writing the entire project in Django, but that's just me.

How to set up googleTest as a shared library on Linux

For 1.8.1 based on @ManuelSchneid3r 's answer I had to do:

wget github.com/google/googletar xf release-1.8.1.tar.gz 
tar xf release-1.8.1.tar.gz
cd googletest-release-1.8.1/
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .
make

I then did make install which seemed to work for 1.8.1, but following @ManuelSchneid3r it would mean:

sudo cp -a googletest/include/gtest /usr/include
sudo cp -a googlemock/include/gmock /usr/include
sudo cp `find .|grep .so$` /usr/lib/

When to catch java.lang.Error?

And there are a couple of other cases where if you catch an Error, you have to rethrow it. For example ThreadDeath should never be caught, it can cause big problem is you catch it in a contained environment (eg. an application server) :

An application should catch instances of this class only if it must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If ThreadDeath is caught by a method, it is important that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.

Find index of last occurrence of a substring in a string

If you don't wanna use rfind then this will do the trick/

def find_last(s, t):
    last_pos = -1
    while True:
        pos = s.find(t, last_pos + 1)
        if pos == -1:
            return last_pos
        else:
            last_pos = pos

Simple WPF RadioButton Binding?

This example might be seem a bit lengthy, but its intention should be quite clear.

It uses 3 Boolean properties in the ViewModel called, FlagForValue1, FlagForValue2 and FlagForValue3. Each of these 3 properties is backed by a single private field called _intValue.

The 3 Radio buttons of the view (xaml) are each bound to its corresponding Flag property in the view model. This means the radio button displaying "Value 1" is bound to the FlagForValue1 bool property in the view model and the other two accordingly.

When setting one of the properties in the view model (e.g. FlagForValue1), its important to also raise property changed events for the other two properties (e.g. FlagForValue2, and FlagForValue3) so the UI (WPF INotifyPropertyChanged infrastructure) can selected / deselect each radio button correctly.

    private int _intValue;

    public bool FlagForValue1
    {
        get
        {
            return (_intValue == 1) ? true : false;
        }
        set
        {
            _intValue = 1;
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue1");
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue2");
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue3");
        }
    }

    public bool FlagForValue2
    {
        get
        {
            return (_intValue == 2) ? true : false;
        }
        set
        {
            _intValue = 2;
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue1");
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue2");
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue3");
        }
    }

    public bool FlagForValue3
    {
        get
        {
            return (_intValue == 3) ? true : false;
        }
        set
        {
            _intValue = 3;
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue1");
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue2");
            RaisePropertyChanged("FlagForValue3");
        }
    }

The xaml looks like this:

                <RadioButton GroupName="Search" IsChecked="{Binding Path=FlagForValue1, Mode=TwoWay}"
                             >Value 1</RadioButton>

                <RadioButton GroupName="Search" IsChecked="{Binding Path=FlagForValue2, Mode=TwoWay}"
                             >Value 2</RadioButton>

                <RadioButton GroupName="Search" IsChecked="{Binding Path=FlagForValue3, Mode=TwoWay}"
                             >Value 3</RadioButton>

How do I use WPF bindings with RelativeSource?

In WPF RelativeSource binding exposes three properties to set:

1. Mode: This is an enum that could have four values:

a. PreviousData(value=0): It assigns the previous value of the property to the bound one

b. TemplatedParent(value=1): This is used when defining the templates of any control and want to bind to a value/Property of the control.

For example, define ControlTemplate:

  <ControlTemplate>
        <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Value, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
 </ControlTemplate>

c. Self(value=2): When we want to bind from a self or a property of self.

For example: Send checked state of checkbox as CommandParameter while setting the Command on CheckBox

<CheckBox ...... CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self},Path=IsChecked}" />

d. FindAncestor(value=3): When want to bind from a parent control in Visual Tree.

For example: Bind a checkbox in records if a grid,if header checkbox is checked

<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type iDP:XamDataGrid}}, Path=DataContext.IsHeaderChecked, Mode=TwoWay}" />

2. AncestorType: when mode is FindAncestor then define what type of ancestor

RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type iDP:XamDataGrid}}

3. AncestorLevel: when mode is FindAncestor then what level of ancestor (if there are two same type of parent in visual tree)

RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type iDP:XamDataGrid, AncestorLevel=1}}

Above are all use-cases for RelativeSource binding.

When to use React setState callback

Sometimes we need a code block where we need to perform some operation right after setState where we are sure the state is being updated. That is where setState callback comes into play

For example, there was a scenario where I needed to enable a modal for 2 customers out of 20 customers, for the customers where we enabled it, there was a set of time taking API calls, so it looked like this

async componentDidMount() {
  const appConfig = getCustomerConfig();
  this.setState({enableModal: appConfig?.enableFeatures?.paymentModal }, async 
   ()=>{
     if(this.state.enableModal){
       //make some API call for data needed in poput
     }
  });
}

enableModal boolean was required in UI blocks in the render function as well, that's why I did setState here, otherwise, could've just checked condition once and either called API set or not.

MySQL date format DD/MM/YYYY select query?

Java: splitting a comma-separated string but ignoring commas in quotes

You're in that annoying boundary area where regexps almost won't do (as has been pointed out by Bart, escaping the quotes would make life hard) , and yet a full-blown parser seems like overkill.

.jar error - could not find or load main class

Thanks jbaliuka for the suggestion. I opened the registry editor (by typing regedit in cmd) and going to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > jarfile > shell > open > command, then opening (Default) and changing the value from

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*

to

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar "%1" %*

(I just removed the w in javaw.exe.) After that you have to right click a jar -> open with -> choose default program -> navigate to your java folder and open \jre7\bin\java.exe (or any other java.exe file in you java folder). If it doesn't work, try switching to javaw.exe, open a jar file with it, then switch back.

I don't know anything about editing the registry except that it's dangerous, so you might wanna back it up before doing this (in the top bar, File>Export).

How to put multiple statements in one line?

maybe with "and" or "or"

after false need to write "or"

after true need to write "and"

like

n=0
def returnsfalse():
    global n
    n=n+1
    print ("false %d" % (n))
    return False
def returnstrue():
    global n
    n=n+1
    print ("true %d" % (n))
    return True
n=0
returnsfalse() or  returnsfalse() or returnsfalse() or returnstrue() and returnsfalse()

result:

false 1
false 2
false 3
true 4
false 5

or maybe like

(returnsfalse() or true) and (returnstrue() or true) and ...

got here by searching google "how to put multiple statments in one line python", not answers question directly, maybe somebody else needs this.

Java java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index on preparing statement

As @TechSpellBound suggested remove the quotes around the ? signs. Then add a space character at the end of each row in your concatenated string. Otherwise the entire query will be sent as (using only part of it as an example) : .... WHERE bookings.booking_end < date ?OR bookings.booking_start > date ?GROUP BY ....

The ? and the OR needs to be seperated by a space character. Do it wherever needed in the query string.

Add timer to a Windows Forms application

Something like this in your form main. Double click the form in the visual editor to create the form load event.

 Timer Clock=new Timer();
 Clock.Interval=2700000; // not sure if this length of time will work 
 Clock.Start();
 Clock.Tick+=new EventHandler(Timer_Tick);

Then add an event handler to do something when the timer fires.

  public void Timer_Tick(object sender,EventArgs eArgs)
  {
    if(sender==Clock)
    {
      // do something here

How do you set the document title in React?

I haven't tested this too thoroughly, but this seems to work. Written in TypeScript.

interface Props {
    children: string|number|Array<string|number>,
}

export default class DocumentTitle extends React.Component<Props> {

    private oldTitle: string = document.title;

    componentWillUnmount(): void {
        document.title = this.oldTitle;
    }

    render() {
        document.title = Array.isArray(this.props.children) ? this.props.children.join('') : this.props.children;
        return null;
    }
}

Usage:

export default class App extends React.Component<Props, State> {

    render() {
        return <>
            <DocumentTitle>{this.state.files.length} Gallery</DocumentTitle>
            <Container>
                Lorem ipsum
            </Container>
        </>
    }
}

Not sure why others are keen on putting their entire app inside their <Title> component, that seems weird to me.

By updating the document.title inside render() it'll refresh/stay up to date if you want a dynamic title. It should revert the title when unmounted too. Portals are cute, but seem unnecessary; we don't really need to manipulate any DOM nodes here.

Count number of occurences for each unique value

If you have multiple factors (= a multi-dimensional data frame), you can use the dplyr package to count unique values in each combination of factors:

library("dplyr")
data %>% group_by(factor1, factor2) %>% summarize(count=n())

It uses the pipe operator %>% to chain method calls on the data frame data.

Error while inserting date - Incorrect date value:

This is the date format:

The DATE type is used for values with a date part but no time part. MySQL retrieves and displays DATE values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. The supported range is '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31'.

Why do you insert '07-25-2012' format when MySQL format is '2012-07-25'?. Actually you get this error if the sql_mode is traditional/strict mode else it just enters 0000-00-00 and gives a warning: 1265 - Data truncated for column 'col1' at row 1.

No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException with Spring MVC?

Spring cannot instantiate your TestController because its only constructor requires a parameter. You can add a no-arg constructor or you add @Autowired annotation to the constructor:

@Autowired
public TestController(KeeperClient testClient) {
    TestController.testClient = testClient;
}

In this case, you are explicitly telling Spring to search the application context for a KeeperClient bean and inject it when instantiating the TestControlller.

There are No resources that can be added or removed from the server

Convert a Python int into a big-endian string of bytes

The shortest way, I think, is the following:

import struct
val = 0x11223344
val = struct.unpack("<I", struct.pack(">I", val))[0]
print "%08x" % val

This converts an integer to a byte-swapped integer.

What is Linux’s native GUI API?

To aid in what has already been mentioned there is a very good overview of the Linux graphics stack at this blog: http://blog.mecheye.net/2012/06/the-linux-graphics-stack/

This explains X11/Wayland etc and how it all fits together. In addition to what has already been mentioned I think it's worth adding a bit about the following API's you can use for graphics in Linux:

Mesa - "Mesa is many things, but one of the major things it provides that it is most famous for is its OpenGL implementation. It is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL API."

Cairo - "cairo is a drawing library used either by applications like Firefox directly, or through libraries like GTK+, to draw vector shapes."

DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) - I understand this the least but its basically the kernel drivers that let you write graphics directly to framebuffer without going through X

Share variables between files in Node.js?

a variable declared with or without the var keyword got attached to the global object. This is the basis for creating global variables in Node by declaring variables without the var keyword. While variables declared with the var keyword remain local to a module.

How do I copy directories recursively with gulp?

The following works without flattening the folder structure:

The '**/*' is the important part. That expression is a glob which is a powerful file selection tool. For example, for copying only .js files use: 'input/folder/**/*.js'

Add Insecure Registry to Docker

Anyone looking to add insecure registry on amazon linux 2: You will have to change the setting under /etc/sysconfig/docker and then restart docker daemon: here's how my /etc/sysconfig/docker looks like

# running containers.  The default value of 1048576 mirrors the value
# used by the systemd service unit.
DAEMON_MAXFILES=1048576

# Additional startup options for the Docker daemon, for example:
# OPTIONS="--ip-forward=true --iptables=true"
# By default we limit the number of open files per container
OPTIONS="--default-ulimit nofile=1024:4096 --insecure-registry yourinsecureregistryhostname:port"

# How many seconds the sysvinit script waits for the pidfile to appear

What does "int 0x80" mean in assembly code?

Minimal runnable Linux system call example

Linux sets up the interrupt handler for 0x80 such that it implements system calls, a way for userland programs to communicate with the kernel.

.data
    s:
        .ascii "hello world\n"
        len = . - s
.text
    .global _start
    _start:

        movl $4, %eax   /* write system call number */
        movl $1, %ebx   /* stdout */
        movl $s, %ecx   /* the data to print */
        movl $len, %edx /* length of the buffer */
        int $0x80

        movl $1, %eax   /* exit system call number */
        movl $0, %ebx   /* exit status */
        int $0x80

Compile and run with:

as -o main.o main.S
ld -o main.out main.o
./main.out

Outcome: the program prints to stdout:

hello world

and exits cleanly.

You cannot set your own interrupt handlers directly from userland because you only have ring 3 and Linux prevents you from doing so.

GitHub upstream. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.

Better alternatives

int 0x80 has been superseded by better alternatives for making system calls: first sysenter, then VDSO.

x86_64 has a new syscall instruction.

See also: What is better "int 0x80" or "syscall"?

Minimal 16-bit example

First learn how to create a minimal bootloader OS and run it on QEMU and real hardware as I've explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32483545/895245

Now you can run in 16-bit real mode:

    movw $handler0, 0x00
    mov %cs, 0x02
    movw $handler1, 0x04
    mov %cs, 0x06
    int $0
    int $1
    hlt
handler0:
    /* Do 0. */
    iret
handler1:
    /* Do 1. */
    iret

This would do in order:

  • Do 0.
  • Do 1.
  • hlt: stop executing

Note how the processor looks for the first handler at address 0, and the second one at 4: that is a table of handlers called the IVT, and each entry has 4 bytes.

Minimal example that does some IO to make handlers visible.

Minimal protected mode example

Modern operating systems run in the so called protected mode.

The handling has more options in this mode, so it is more complex, but the spirit is the same.

The key step is using the LGDT and LIDT instructions, which point the address of an in-memory data structure (the Interrupt Descriptor Table) that describes the handlers.

Minimal example

Match the path of a URL, minus the filename extension

Just for the fun of it, here are two ways that have not been explored:

substr($url, strpos($s, '/', 8), -4)

Or:

substr($s, strpos($s, '/', 8), -strlen($s) + strrpos($s, '.'))

Based on the idea that HTTP schemes http:// and https:// are at most 8 characters, so typically it suffices to find the first slash from the 9th position onwards. If the extension is always .php the first code will work, otherwise the other one is required.

For a pure regular expression solution you can break the string down like this:

~^(?:[^:/?#]+:)?(?://[^/?#]*)?([^?#]*)~
                              ^

The path portion would be inside the first memory group (i.e. index 1), indicated by the ^ in the line underneath the expression. Removing the extension can be done using pathinfo():

$parts = pathinfo($matches[1]);
echo $parts['dirname'] . '/' . $parts['filename'];

You can also tweak the expression to this:

([^?#]*?)(?:\.[^?#]*)?(?:\?|$)

This expression is not very optimal though, because it has some back tracking in it. In the end I would go for something less custom:

$parts = pathinfo(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));
echo $parts['dirname'] . '/' . $parts['filename'];

Hide header in stack navigator React navigation

 <Stack.Screen

options={{ headerShown: false }} works for me.

How to make a website secured with https

For business data, if the data is private I would use a secured connection, otherwise a forms authentication is sufficient.

If you do decide to use a secured connection, please note that I do not have experience with securing websites, I am just recanting off what I encountered during my own personal experience. If I am wrong in anyway, please feel free to correct me.

What should I do to prepare my website for https. (Do I need to alter the code / Config)

In order to enable SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for your website, you would need to set-up a certificate, code or config is not altered.

I have enabled SSL for an internal web-server, by using OpenSSL and ActivePerl from this online tutorial. If this is used for a larger audience (my audience was less than 10 people) and is in the public domain, I suggest seeking professional alternatives.

Is SSL and https one and the same...

Not exactly, but they go hand in hand! SSL ensures that data is encrypted and decrypted back and forth while you are viewing the website, https is the URI that is need to access the secure website. You will notice when you try to access http://secure.mydomain.com it displays an error message.

Do I need to apply with someone to get some license or something.

You would not need to obtain a license, but rather a certificate. You can look into companies that offer professional services with securing websites, such as VeriSign as an example.

Do I need to make all my pages secured or only the login page...

Once your certificate is enabled for mydomain.com every page that falls under *.mydomain.com will be secured.

Better way to set distance between flexbox items

Well, the simplest solution regarding to your CSS, imo, is to add spacers into HTML:

<div id='box'>
  <div class='item'></div>
  <div style='width: 5px;'></div>
  <div class='item'></div>
  <div class='item'></div>
  <div class='item'></div>
</div>

so, you may control it with inline-style or class names.. sometimes, it's also possible to do spacing with padding.

here is the example

Get item in the list in Scala?

Why parentheses?

Here is the quote from the book programming in scala.

Another important idea illustrated by this example will give you insight into why arrays are accessed with parentheses in Scala. Scala has fewer special cases than Java. Arrays are simply instances of classes like any other class in Scala. When you apply parentheses surrounding one or more values to a variable, Scala will transform the code into an invocation of a method named apply on that variable. So greetStrings(i) gets transformed into greetStrings.apply(i). Thus accessing an element of an array in Scala is simply a method call like any other. This principle is not restricted to arrays: any application of an object to some arguments in parentheses will be transformed to an apply method call. Of course this will compile only if that type of object actually defines an apply method. So it's not a special case; it's a general rule.

Here are a few examples how to pull certain element (first elem in this case) using functional programming style.

  // Create a multdimension Array 
  scala> val a = Array.ofDim[String](2, 3)
  a: Array[Array[String]] = Array(Array(null, null, null), Array(null, null, null))
  scala> a(0) = Array("1","2","3")
  scala> a(1) = Array("4", "5", "6")
  scala> a
  Array[Array[String]] = Array(Array(1, 2, 3), Array(4, 5, 6))

  // 1. paratheses
  scala> a.map(_(0))
  Array[String] = Array(1, 4)
  // 2. apply
  scala> a.map(_.apply(0))
  Array[String] = Array(1, 4)
  // 3. function literal
  scala> a.map(a => a(0))
  Array[String] = Array(1, 4)
  // 4. lift
  scala> a.map(_.lift(0))
  Array[Option[String]] = Array(Some(1), Some(4))
  // 5. head or last 
  scala> a.map(_.head)
  Array[String] = Array(1, 4)

Inline style to act as :hover in CSS

I don't think jQuery supports the pseudo-selectors either, but it does provide a quick way to add events to one, many, or all of your similar controls and tags on a single page.

Best of all, you can chain the event binds and do it all in one line of script if you want. Much easier than manually editing all of the HTML to turn them on or off. Then again, since you can do the same in CSS I don't know that it buys you anything (other than learning jQuery).

Read and write a String from text file

It is recommended to read and write files asynchronously! and it's so easy to do in pure Swift,
here is the protocol:

protocol FileRepository {
    func read(from path: String) throws -> String
    func readAsync(from path: String, completion: @escaping (Result<String, Error>) -> Void)
    func write(_ string: String, to path: String) throws
    func writeAsync(_ string: String, to path: String, completion: @escaping (Result<Void, Error>) -> Void)
}

As you can see it allows you to read and write files synchronously or asynchronously.

Here is my implementation in Swift 5:

class DefaultFileRepository {
    
    // MARK: Properties
    
    let queue: DispatchQueue = .global()
    let fileManager: FileManager = .default
    lazy var baseURL: URL = {
        try! fileManager
            .url(for: .libraryDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: true)
            .appendingPathComponent("MyFiles")
    }()
    
    
    // MARK: Private functions
    
    private func doRead(from path: String) throws -> String {
        let url = baseURL.appendingPathComponent(path)
        
        var isDir: ObjCBool = false
        guard fileManager.fileExists(atPath: url.path, isDirectory: &isDir) && !isDir.boolValue else {
            throw ReadWriteError.doesNotExist
        }

        } catch {
            throw ReadWriteError.readFailed(error)
        }
        
        return string
    }
    
    private func doWrite(_ string: String, to path: String) throws {
        let url = baseURL.appendingPathComponent(path)
        let folderURL = url.deletingLastPathComponent()
        
        var isFolderDir: ObjCBool = false
        if fileManager.fileExists(atPath: folderURL.path, isDirectory: &isFolderDir) {
            if !isFolderDir.boolValue {
                throw ReadWriteError.canNotCreateFolder

            }
        }
        
        var isDir: ObjCBool = false
        guard !fileManager.fileExists(atPath: url.path, isDirectory: &isDir) || !isDir.boolValue else {

How to change cursor from pointer to finger using jQuery?

Update! New & improved! Find plugin @ GitHub!


On another note, while that method is simple, I've created a jQuery plug (found at this jsFiddle, just copy and past code between comment lines) that makes changing the cursor on any element as simple as $("element").cursor("pointer").

But that's not all! Act now and you'll get the hand functions position & ishover for no extra charge! That's right, 2 very handy cursor functions ... FREE!

They work as simple as seen in the demo:

$("h3").cursor("isHover"); // if hovering over an h3 element, will return true, 
    // else false
// also handy as
$("h2, h3").cursor("isHover"); // unless your h3 is inside an h2, this will be 
    // false as it checks to see if cursor is hovered over both elements, not just the last!
//  And to make this deal even sweeter - use the following to get a jQuery object
//       of ALL elements the cursor is currently hovered over on demand!
$.cursor("isHover");

Also:

$.cursor("position"); // will return the current cursor position as { x: i, y: i }
    // at anytime you call it!

Supplies are limited, so Act Now!

Spring Data JPA map the native query result to Non-Entity POJO

Assuming GroupDetails as in orid's answer have you tried JPA 2.1 @ConstructorResult?

@SqlResultSetMapping(
    name="groupDetailsMapping",
    classes={
        @ConstructorResult(
            targetClass=GroupDetails.class,
            columns={
                @ColumnResult(name="GROUP_ID"),
                @ColumnResult(name="USER_ID")
            }
        )
    }
)

@NamedNativeQuery(name="getGroupDetails", query="SELECT g.*, gm.* FROM group g LEFT JOIN group_members gm ON g.group_id = gm.group_id and gm.user_id = :userId WHERE g.group_id = :groupId", resultSetMapping="groupDetailsMapping")

and use following in repository interface:

GroupDetails getGroupDetails(@Param("userId") Integer userId, @Param("groupId") Integer groupId);

According to Spring Data JPA documentation, spring will first try to find named query matching your method name - so by using @NamedNativeQuery, @SqlResultSetMapping and @ConstructorResult you should be able to achieve that behaviour

Makefile: How to correctly include header file and its directory?

The preprocessor is looking for StdCUtil/split.h in

and in

  • $INC_DIR (i.e. ../StdCUtil/ = /root/Core/../StdCUtil/ = /root/StdCUtil/). So ../StdCUtil/ + StdCUtil/split.h = ../StdCUtil/StdCUtil/split.h and the file is missing

You can fix the error changing the $INC_DIR variable (best solution):

$INC_DIR = ../

or the include directive:

#include "split.h"

but in this way you lost the "path syntax" that makes it very clear what namespace or module the header file belongs to.

Reference:

EDIT/UPDATE

It should also be

CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -c -Wall -I$(INC_DIR)

...

%.o: %.cpp $(DEPS)
    $(CXX) -o $@ $< $(CXXFLAGS)

C# Lambda expressions: Why should I use them?

You can also find the use of lambda expressions in writing generic codes to act on your methods.

For example: Generic function to calculate the time taken by a method call. (i.e. Action in here)

public static long Measure(Action action)
{
    Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
    sw.Start();
    action();
    sw.Stop();
    return sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
}

And you can call the above method using the lambda expression as follows,

var timeTaken = Measure(() => yourMethod(param));

Expression allows you to get return value from your method and out param as well

var timeTaken = Measure(() => returnValue = yourMethod(param, out outParam));

How can I sort generic list DESC and ASC?

With Linq

var ascendingOrder = li.OrderBy(i => i);
var descendingOrder = li.OrderByDescending(i => i);

Without Linq

li.Sort((a, b) => a.CompareTo(b)); // ascending sort
li.Sort((a, b) => b.CompareTo(a)); // descending sort

Note that without Linq, the list itself is being sorted. With Linq, you're getting an ordered enumerable of the list but the list itself hasn't changed. If you want to mutate the list, you would change the Linq methods to something like

li = li.OrderBy(i => i).ToList();

Creating a custom JButton in Java

When I was first learning Java we had to make Yahtzee and I thought it would be cool to create custom Swing components and containers instead of just drawing everything on one JPanel. The benefit of extending Swing components, of course, is to have the ability to add support for keyboard shortcuts and other accessibility features that you can't do just by having a paint() method print a pretty picture. It may not be done the best way however, but it may be a good starting point for you.

Edit 8/6 - If it wasn't apparent from the images, each Die is a button you can click. This will move it to the DiceContainer below. Looking at the source code you can see that each Die button is drawn dynamically, based on its value.

alt text
alt text
alt text

Here are the basic steps:

  1. Create a class that extends JComponent
  2. Call parent constructor super() in your constructors
  3. Make sure you class implements MouseListener
  4. Put this in the constructor:

    enableInputMethods(true);   
    addMouseListener(this);
    
  5. Override these methods:

    public Dimension getPreferredSize()  
    public Dimension getMinimumSize()  
    public Dimension getMaximumSize()
    
  6. Override this method:

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    

The amount of space you have to work with when drawing your button is defined by getPreferredSize(), assuming getMinimumSize() and getMaximumSize() return the same value. I haven't experimented too much with this but, depending on the layout you use for your GUI your button could look completely different.

And finally, the source code. In case I missed anything.

ng if with angular for string contains

Only the shortcut syntax worked for me *ngIf.

(I think it's the later versions that use this syntax if I'm not mistaken)

<div *ngIf="haystack.indexOf('needle') > -1">
</div>

or

<div *ngIf="haystack.includes('needle')">
</div>

CSS height 100% percent not working

I believe you need to make sure that all the container div tags above the 100% height div also has 100% height set on them including the body tag and html.

How to save a dictionary to a file?

I would suggest saving your data using the JSON format instead of pickle format as JSON's files are human-readable which makes your debugging easier since your data is small. JSON files are also used by other programs to read and write data. You can read more about it here

You'll need to install the JSON module, you can do so with pip:

pip install json


# To save the dictionary into a file:
json.dump( data, open( "myfile.json", 'w' ) )

This creates a json file with the name myfile.

# To read data from file:
data = json.load( open( "myfile.json" ) )

This reads and stores the myfile.json data in a data object.

DateTime group by date and hour

Using MySQL I usually do it that way:

SELECT count( id ), ...
FROM quote_data
GROUP BY date_format( your_date_column, '%Y%m%d%H' )
order by your_date_column desc;

Or in the same idea, if you need to output the date/hour:

SELECT count( id ) , date_format( your_date_column, '%Y-%m-%d %H' ) as my_date
FROM  your_table 
GROUP BY my_date
order by your_date_column desc;

If you specify an index on your date column, MySQL should be able to use it to speed up things a little.

jQuery `.is(":visible")` not working in Chrome

If you read the jquery docs, there are numerous reasons for something to not be considered visible/hidden:

They have a CSS display value of none.

They are form elements with type="hidden".

Their width and height are explicitly set to 0.

An ancestor element is hidden, so the element is not shown on the page.

http://api.jquery.com/visible-selector/

Here's a small jsfiddle example with one visible and one hidden element:

"no suitable driver" usually means that the syntax for the connection URL is incorrect.

How to deploy a Java Web Application (.war) on tomcat?

The tomcat manual says:

Copy the web application archive file into directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/. When Tomcat is started, it will automatically expand the web application archive file into its unpacked form, and execute the application that way.

How to insert element into arrays at specific position?

In case you are just looking to insert an item into an array at a certain position (based on @clausvdb answer):

function array_insert($arr, $insert, $position) {
    $i = 0;
    $ret = array();
    foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
            if ($i == $position) {
                $ret[] = $insert;
            }
            $ret[] = $value;
            $i++;
    }
    return $ret;
}

400 vs 422 response to POST of data

400 Bad Request is proper HTTP status code for your use case. The code is defined by HTTP/0.9-1.1 RFC.

The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.4.1

422 Unprocessable Entity is defined by RFC 4918 - WebDav. Note that there is slight difference in comparison to 400, see quoted text below.

This error condition may occur if an XML request body contains well-formed (i.e., syntactically correct), but semantically erroneous, XML instructions.

To keep uniform interface you should use 422 only in a case of XML responses and you should also support all status codes defined by Webdav extension, not just 422.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#page-78

See also Mark Nottingham's post on status codes:

it’s a mistake to try to map each part of your application “deeply” into HTTP status codes; in most cases the level of granularity you want to be aiming for is much coarser. When in doubt, it’s OK to use the generic status codes 200 OK, 400 Bad Request and 500 Internal Service Error when there isn’t a better fit.

How to Think About HTTP Status Codes

HTML display result in text (input) field?

innerHTML sets the text (including html elements) inside an element. Normally we use it for elements like div, span etc to insert other html elements inside it.

For your case you want to set the value of an input element. So you should use the value attribute.

Change innerHTML to value

document.getElementById('add').value = sum;

Nginx not running with no error message

You should probably check for errors in /var/log/nginx/error.log.

In my case I did no add the port for ipv6. You should also do this (in case you are running nginx on a port other than 80): listen [::]:8000 default_server ipv6only=on;

How to reset form body in bootstrap modal box?

You can make a JavaScript function to do that:

$.clearInput = function () {
        $('form').find('input[type=text], input[type=password], input[type=number], input[type=email], textarea').val('');
};

and then you can call that function each time your modal is hidden:

$('#Your_Modal').on('hidden', function () {
        $.clearInput();
});

Launching Google Maps Directions via an intent on Android

For multiple way points, following can be used as well.

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
    Uri.parse("https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.8276261,2.3350114/48.8476794,2.340595/48.8550395,2.300022/48.8417122,2.3028844"));
startActivity(intent);

First set of coordinates are your starting location. All of the next are way points, plotted route goes through.

Just keep adding way points by concating "/latitude,longitude" at the end. There is apparently a limit of 23 way points according to google docs. Not sure if that applies to Android too.

Android saving file to external storage

This code is Working great & Worked on KitKat as well. Appreciate @RajaReddy PolamReddy
Added few more steps here and also Visible on Gallery as well.

public void SaveOnClick(View v){
File mainfile;
String fpath;


    try {
//i.e  v2:My view to save on own folder     
        v2.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
//Your final bitmap according to my code.
        bitmap_tmp = v2.getDrawingCache();

File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)+File.separator+"/MyFolder");

          Random random=new Random();
          int ii=100000;
          ii=random.nextInt(ii);
          String fname="MyPic_"+ ii + ".jpg";
            File direct = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/MyFolder");

            if (!direct.exists()) {
                File wallpaperDirectory = new File("/sdcard/MyFolder/");
                wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs();
            }

            mainfile = new File(new File("/sdcard/MyFolder/"), fname);
            if (mainfile.exists()) {
                mainfile.delete();
            }

              FileOutputStream fileOutputStream;
        fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(mainfile);

        bitmap_tmp.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fileOutputStream);
        Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this.getApplicationContext(), "Saved in Gallery..", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();
        fpath=mainfile.toString();
        galleryAddPic(fpath);
    } catch(FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

This is Media scanner to Visible in Gallery.

private void galleryAddPic(String fpath) {
    Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE");
    File f = new File(fpath);
    Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
    mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);
    this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
}

Java: how can I split an ArrayList in multiple small ArrayLists?

You can use the chunk method from Eclipse Collections:

ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>(Interval.oneTo(1000));
RichIterable<RichIterable<Integer>> chunks = Iterate.chunk(list, 10);
Verify.assertSize(100, chunks);

A few examples of the chunk method were included in this DZone article as well.

Note: I am a committer for Eclipse Collections.

How to inspect FormData?

Angular

var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('key1', 'value1');
formData.append('key2', 'value2');

formData.forEach((value,key) => {

});

Not: When I am working on Angular 5 (with TypeScript 2.4.2), I tried as above and it works except a static checking error but also for(var pair of formData.entries()) is not working.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var formData = new FormData();

});

GitHub Error Message - Permission denied (publickey)

First, we need to check for existing ssh keys on your computer. Open up Terminal and run:

ls -al ~/.ssh

#or

cd ~/.ssh
ls

and that will lists the files in your .ssh directory

And finally depending on what you see (in my case was):

 github_rsa  github_rsa.pub known_hosts

Just try setting up your RSA and hopefully that will solve your "git push origin" issues

$ ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/github_rsa.pub

NOTE: RSA certificates are keys-paired so you will have a private and a public certificate, private will not be accessible for you since it belongs to github (in this case) but the public is the one you might be missing when this error happens (at least that was my case, my github account or repo got messed up somehow and i had to "link" the public key, previously generated)

Java String declaration

First one will create new String object in heap and str will refer it. In addition literal will also be placed in String pool. It means 2 objects will be created and 1 reference variable.

Second option will create String literal in pool only and str will refer it. So only 1 Object will be created and 1 reference. This option will use the instance from String pool always rather than creating new one each time it is executed.

How can I get the current date and time in UTC or GMT in Java?

java.util.Date has no specific time zone, although its value is most commonly thought of in relation to UTC. What makes you think it's in local time?

To be precise: the value within a java.util.Date is the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch, which occurred at midnight January 1st 1970, UTC. The same epoch could also be described in other time zones, but the traditional description is in terms of UTC. As it's a number of milliseconds since a fixed epoch, the value within java.util.Date is the same around the world at any particular instant, regardless of local time zone.

I suspect the problem is that you're displaying it via an instance of Calendar which uses the local timezone, or possibly using Date.toString() which also uses the local timezone, or a SimpleDateFormat instance, which, by default, also uses local timezone.

If this isn't the problem, please post some sample code.

I would, however, recommend that you use Joda-Time anyway, which offers a much clearer API.

How to resolve git status "Unmerged paths:"?

Another way of dealing with this situation if your files ARE already checked in, and your files have been merged (but not committed, so the merge conflicts are inserted into the file) is to run:

git reset

This will switch to HEAD, and tell git to forget any merge conflicts, and leave the working directory as is. Then you can edit the files in question (search for the "Updated upstream" notices). Once you've dealt with the conflicts, you can run

git add -p

which will allow you to interactively select which changes you want to add to the index. Once the index looks good (git diff --cached), you can commit, and then

git reset --hard

to destroy all the unwanted changes in your working directory.

CSS Inset Borders

You may use background-clip: border-box;

Example:

.example {
padding: 2em;
border: 10px solid rgba(51,153,0,0.65);
background-clip: border-box;
background-color: yellow;
}

<div class="example">Example with background-clip: border-box;</div>

Ruby - test for array

It sounds like you're after something that has some concept of items. I'd thus recommend seeing if it is Enumerable. That also guarantees the existence of #count.

For example,

[1,2,3].is_a? Enumerable
[1,2,3].count

note that, while size, length and count all work for arrays, count is the right meaning here - (for example, 'abc'.length and 'abc'.size both work, but 'abc'.count doesn't work like that).

Caution: a string is_a? Enumerable, so perhaps this isn't what you want... depends on your concept of an array like object.

Using any() and all() to check if a list contains one set of values or another

Generally speaking:

all and any are functions that take some iterable and return True, if

  • in the case of all(), no values in the iterable are falsy;
  • in the case of any(), at least one value is truthy.

A value x is falsy iff bool(x) == False. A value x is truthy iff bool(x) == True.

Any non-booleans in the iterable will be fine — bool(x) will coerce any x according to these rules: 0, 0.0, None, [], (), [], set(), and other empty collections will yield False, anything else True. The docstring for bool uses the terms 'true'/'false' for 'truthy'/'falsy', and True/False for the concrete boolean values.


In your specific code samples:

You misunderstood a little bit how these functions work. Hence, the following does something completely not what you thought:

if any(foobars) == big_foobar:

...because any(foobars) would first be evaluated to either True or False, and then that boolean value would be compared to big_foobar, which generally always gives you False (unless big_foobar coincidentally happened to be the same boolean value).

Note: the iterable can be a list, but it can also be a generator/generator expression (˜ lazily evaluated/generated list) or any other iterator.

What you want instead is:

if any(x == big_foobar for x in foobars):

which basically first constructs an iterable that yields a sequence of booleans—for each item in foobars, it compares the item to big_foobar and emits the resulting boolean into the resulting sequence:

tmp = (x == big_foobar for x in foobars)

then any walks over all items in tmp and returns True as soon as it finds the first truthy element. It's as if you did the following:

In [1]: foobars = ['big', 'small', 'medium', 'nice', 'ugly']                                        

In [2]: big_foobar = 'big'                                                                          

In [3]: any(['big' == big_foobar, 'small' == big_foobar, 'medium' == big_foobar, 'nice' == big_foobar, 'ugly' == big_foobar])        
Out[3]: True

Note: As DSM pointed out, any(x == y for x in xs) is equivalent to y in xs but the latter is more readable, quicker to write and runs faster.

Some examples:

In [1]: any(x > 5 for x in range(4))
Out[1]: False

In [2]: all(isinstance(x, int) for x in range(10))
Out[2]: True

In [3]: any(x == 'Erik' for x in ['Erik', 'John', 'Jane', 'Jim'])
Out[3]: True

In [4]: all([True, True, True, False, True])
Out[4]: False

How to import an existing directory into Eclipse?

I Using below simple way to create a project 1- First in a directory that desire to make it project, create a .project file with below contents:

<projectDescription>
    <name>Project-Name</name>
    <comment></comment>
    <projects>
    </projects>
    <buildSpec>
    </buildSpec>
    <natures>
    </natures>
</projectDescription>

2- Now instead of "Project-Name", write your project name, maybe current directory name

3- Now save this file to directory that desire to make that directory as project with name ".project" ( for save like this, use Notepad )

4- Now go to Eclips and open project and add your files to it.

'if' statement in jinja2 template

Why the loop?

You could simply do this:

{% if 'priority' in data %}
    <p>Priority: {{ data['priority'] }}</p>
{% endif %}

When you were originally doing your string comparison, you should have used == instead.

Angular 2 : No NgModule metadata found

In my case, I had defined a couple of (private) static methods in one of my components and was using them in the same component.

How to enable assembly bind failure logging (Fusion) in .NET

For those who are a bit lazy, I recommend running this as a bat file for when ever you want to enable it:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion" /v EnableLog /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion" /v ForceLog /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion" /v LogFailures /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion" /v LogResourceBinds /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion" /v LogPath /t REG_SZ /d C:\FusionLog\

if not exist "C:\FusionLog\" mkdir C:\FusionLog

Angular 2: Passing Data to Routes?

It changes in angular 2.1.0

In something.module.ts

Sending HTML email using Python

Simplest solution for sending email from Organizational account in Office 365:

from O365 import Message

html_template =     """ 
            <html>
            <head>
                <title></title>
            </head>
            <body>
                    {}
            </body>
            </html>
        """

final_html_data = html_template.format(df.to_html(index=False))

o365_auth = ('sender_username@company_email.com','Password')
m = Message(auth=o365_auth)
m.setRecipients('receiver_username@company_email.com')
m.setSubject('Weekly report')
m.setBodyHTML(final_html_data)
m.sendMessage()

here df is a dataframe converted to html Table, which is being injected to html_template

How do I properly 'printf' an integer and a string in C?

You're on the right track. Here's a corrected version:

char str[10];
int n;

printf("type a string: ");
scanf("%s %d", str, &n);

printf("%s\n", str);
printf("%d\n", n);

Let's talk through the changes:

  1. allocate an int (n) to store your number in
  2. tell scanf to read in first a string and then a number (%d means number, as you already knew from your printf

That's pretty much all there is to it. Your code is a little bit dangerous, still, because any user input that's longer than 9 characters will overflow str and start trampling your stack.

How to use Utilities.sleep() function

Utilities.sleep(milliseconds) creates a 'pause' in program execution, meaning it does nothing during the number of milliseconds you ask. It surely slows down your whole process and you shouldn't use it between function calls. There are a few exceptions though, at least that one that I know : in SpreadsheetApp when you want to remove a number of sheets you can add a few hundreds of millisecs between each deletion to allow for normal script execution (but this is a workaround for a known issue with this specific method). I did have to use it also when creating many sheets in a spreadsheet to avoid the Browser needing to be 'refreshed' after execution.

Here is an example :

function delsheets(){
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var numbofsheet=ss.getNumSheets();// check how many sheets in the spreadsheet
  for (pa=numbofsheet-1;pa>0;--pa){ 
    ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheets()[pa]);
    var newSheet = ss.deleteActiveSheet(); // delete sheets begining with the last one
    Utilities.sleep(200);// pause in the loop for 200 milliseconds
  }
  ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheets()[0]);// return to first sheet as active sheet (useful in 'list' function)
}

Create a branch in Git from another branch

For creating a branch from another one can use this syntax as well:

git push origin refs/heads/<sourceBranch>:refs/heads/<targetBranch>

It is a little shorter than "git checkout -b " + "git push origin "

Storing database records into array

$mysearch="Your Search Name";
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");
$c=0;
// set array
$array = array();

// look through query
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

  // add each row returned into an array
  $array[] = $row;
  $c++;
}

for($i=0;$i=$c;$i++)
{
if($array[i]['username']==$mysearch)
{
// name found
}
}

Disable password authentication for SSH

Here's a script to do this automatically

How to change the color of an svg element?

To change color of SVG element I have found out a way while inspecting Google search box search icon below:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.search_icon {
  color: red;
  fill: currentColor;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
}
_x000D_
<span class="search_icon">
    <svg focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M15.5 14h-.79l-.28-.27A6.471 6.471 0 0 0 16 9.5 6.5 6.5 0 1 0 9.5 16c1.61 0 3.09-.59 4.23-1.57l.27.28v.79l5 4.99L20.49 19l-4.99-5zm-6 0C7.01 14 5 11.99 5 9.5S7.01 5 9.5 5 14 7.01 14 9.5 11.99 14 9.5 14z"></path></svg>
</span>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

I have used span element with "display:inline-block", height, width and setting a particular style "color: red; fill: currentColor;" to that span tag which is inherited by the child svg element.

Get parent of current directory from Python script

'..' returns parent of current directory.

import os
os.chdir('..')

Now your current directory will be /home/kristina/desire-directory.

Detect the Internet connection is offline?

The HTML5 Application Cache API specifies navigator.onLine, which is currently available in the IE8 betas, WebKit (eg. Safari) nightlies, and is already supported in Firefox 3

How can I check if a value is of type Integer?

You need to first check if it's a number. If so you can use the Math.Round method. If the result and the original value are equal then it's an integer.

How do I reload a page without a POSTDATA warning in Javascript?

Here's a solution that should always work and doesn't remove the hash.

let currentPage = new URL(window.location.href);
currentPage.searchParams.set('r', (+new Date * Math.random()).toString(36).substring(0, 5));
window.location.href = currentPage.href;

How do I open workbook programmatically as read-only?

Does this work?

Workbooks.Open Filename:=filepath, ReadOnly:=True

Or, as pointed out in a comment, to keep a reference to the opened workbook:

Dim book As Workbook
Set book = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=filepath, ReadOnly:=True)

NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle

Also make sure that the XIB-file is included in your target. Check the file inspector when the XIB-file is selected (first tab on the right, in the middle there is section "target membership". The target you build for must be checked, otherwise the XIB-file won't be included.

Can I run multiple programs in a Docker container?

There can be only one ENTRYPOINT, but that target is usually a script that launches as many programs that are needed. You can additionally use for example Supervisord or similar to take care of launching multiple services inside single container. This is an example of a docker container running mysql, apache and wordpress within a single container.

Say, You have one database that is used by a single web application. Then it is probably easier to run both in a single container.

If You have a shared database that is used by more than one application, then it would be better to run the database in its own container and the applications each in their own containers.

There are at least two possibilities how the applications can communicate with each other when they are running in different containers:

  1. Use exposed IP ports and connect via them.
  2. Recent docker versions support linking.

Changing one character in a string

Like other people have said, generally Python strings are supposed to be immutable.

However, if you are using CPython, the implementation at python.org, it is possible to use ctypes to modify the string structure in memory.

Here is an example where I use the technique to clear a string.

Mark data as sensitive in python

I mention this for the sake of completeness, and this should be your last resort as it is hackish.

Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]

You need a spring-security-config.jar on your classpath.

The exception means that the security: xml namescape cannot be handled by spring "parsers". They are implementations of the NamespaceHandler interface, so you need a handler that knows how to process <security: tags. That's the SecurityNamespaceHandler located in spring-security-config

How to load a model from an HDF5 file in Keras?

See the following sample code on how to Build a basic Keras Neural Net Model, save Model (JSON) & Weights (HDF5) and load them:

# create model
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(X.shape[1], input_dim=X.shape[1], activation='relu')) #Input Layer
model.add(Dense(X.shape[1], activation='relu')) #Hidden Layer
model.add(Dense(output_dim, activation='softmax')) #Output Layer

# Compile & Fit model
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(X,Y,nb_epoch=5,batch_size=100,verbose=1)    

# serialize model to JSON
model_json = model.to_json()
with open("Data/model.json", "w") as json_file:
    json_file.write(simplejson.dumps(simplejson.loads(model_json), indent=4))

# serialize weights to HDF5
model.save_weights("Data/model.h5")
print("Saved model to disk")

# load json and create model
json_file = open('Data/model.json', 'r')
loaded_model_json = json_file.read()
json_file.close()
loaded_model = model_from_json(loaded_model_json)

# load weights into new model
loaded_model.load_weights("Data/model.h5")
print("Loaded model from disk")

# evaluate loaded model on test data 
# Define X_test & Y_test data first
loaded_model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])
score = loaded_model.evaluate(X_test, Y_test, verbose=0)
print ("%s: %.2f%%" % (loaded_model.metrics_names[1], score[1]*100))

What are best practices for multi-language database design?

What we do, is to create two tables for each multilingual object.

E.g. the first table contains only language-neutral data (primary key, etc.) and the second table contains one record per language, containing the localized data plus the ISO code of the language.

In some cases we add a DefaultLanguage field, so that we can fall-back to that language if no localized data is available for a specified language.

Example:

Table "Product":
----------------
ID                 : int
<any other language-neutral fields>


Table "ProductTranslations"
---------------------------
ID                 : int      (foreign key referencing the Product)
Language           : varchar  (e.g. "en-US", "de-CH")
IsDefault          : bit
ProductDescription : nvarchar
<any other localized data>

With this approach, you can handle as many languages as needed (without having to add additional fields for each new language).


Update (2014-12-14): please have a look at this answer, for some additional information about the implementation used to load multilingual data into an application.

How to parse freeform street/postal address out of text, and into components

I'm late to the party, here is an Excel VBA script I wrote years ago for Australia. It can be easily modified to support other Countries. I've made a GitHub repository of the C# code here. I've hosted it on my site and you can download it here: http://jeremythompson.net/rocks/ParseAddress.xlsm

Strategy

For any country with a PostCode that's numeric or can be matched with a RegEx my strategy works very well:

  1. First we detect the First and Surname which are assumed to be the top line. Its easy to skip the name and start with the address by unticking the checkbox (called 'Name is top row' as shown below).

  2. Next its safe to expect the Address consisting of the Street and Number come before the Suburb and the St, Pde, Ave, Av, Rd, Cres, loop, etc is a separator.

  3. Detecting the Suburb vs the State and even Country can trick the most sophisticated parsers as there can be conflicts. To overcome this I use a PostCode look up based on the fact that after stripping Street and Apartment/Unit numbers as well as the PoBox,Ph,Fax,Mobile etc, only the PostCode number will remain. This is easy to match with a regEx to then look up the suburb(s) and country.

Your National Post Office Service will provide a list of post codes with Suburbs and States free of charge that you can store in an excel sheet, db table, text/json/xml file, etc.

  1. Finally, since some Post Codes have multiple Suburbs we check which suburb appears in the Address.

Example

enter image description here

VBA Code

DISCLAIMER, I know this code is not perfect, or even written well however its very easy to convert to any programming language and run in any type of application.The strategy is the answer depending on your country and rules, take this code as an example:

Keep this as is, without change ("ms-appx:///) this is code not your app name Images is your folder in your project you can change it. dog.png is your file in your folder, as well as i do my folder 'Images' and file 'dog.png' So the uri is :"ms-appx:///Images/dog.png" and my code :

Check if an excel cell exists on another worksheet in a column - and return the contents of a different column

You can use following formulas.

For Excel 2007 or later:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D3,List!A:C,3,FALSE),"No Match")

For Excel 2003:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(D3,List!A:A, 0)), "No Match", VLOOKUP(D3,List!A:C,3,FALSE))

Note, that

  • I'm using List!A:C in VLOOKUP and returns value from column ? 3
  • I'm using 4th argument for VLOOKUP equals to FALSE, in that case VLOOKUP will only find an exact match, and the values in the first column of List!A:C do not need to be sorted (opposite to case when you're using TRUE).

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.

What is cURL in PHP?

CURL in PHP:

Summary:

The curl_exec command in PHP is a bridge to use curl from console. curl_exec makes it easy to quickly and easily do GET/POST requests, receive responses from other servers like JSON and download files.

Warning, Danger:

curl is evil and dangerous if used improperly because it is all about getting data from out there in the internet. Someone can get between your curl and the other server and inject a rm -rf / into your response, and then why am I dropped to a console and ls -l doesn't even work anymore? Because you mis underestimated the dangerous power of curl. Don't trust anything that comes back from curl to be safe, even if you are talking to your own servers. You could be pulling back malware to relieve fools of their wealth.

Examples:

These were done on Ubuntu 12.10

  1. Basic curl from the commandline:

    el@apollo:/home/el$ curl http://i.imgur.com/4rBHtSm.gif > mycat.gif
      % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                     Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
    100  492k  100  492k    0     0  1077k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1240k
    

    Then you can open up your gif in firefox:

    firefox mycat.gif
    

    Glorious cats evolving Toxoplasma gondii to cause women to keep cats around and men likewise to keep the women around.

  2. cURL example get request to hit google.com, echo to the commandline:

    This is done through the phpsh terminal:

    php> $ch = curl_init();
    
    php> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com');
    
    php> curl_exec($ch);
    

    Which prints and dumps a mess of condensed html and javascript (from google) to the console.

  3. cURL example put the response text into a variable:

    This is done through the phpsh terminal:

    php> $ch = curl_init();
    
    php> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://i.imgur.com/wtQ6yZR.gif');
    
    php> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    
    php> $contents = curl_exec($ch);
    
    php> echo $contents;
    

    The variable now contains the binary which is an animated gif of a cat, possibilities are infinite.

  4. Do a curl from within a PHP file:

    Put this code in a file called myphp.php:

    <?php
      $curl_handle=curl_init();
      curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'http://www.google.com');
      curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);
      curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
      $buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
      curl_close($curl_handle);
      if (empty($buffer)){
          print "Nothing returned from url.<p>";
      }
      else{
          print $buffer;
      }
    ?>
    

    Then run it via commandline:

    php < myphp.php
    

    You ran myphp.php and executed those commands through the php interpreter and dumped a ton of messy html and javascript to screen.

    You can do GET and POST requests with curl, all you do is specify the parameters as defined here: Using curl to automate HTTP jobs

Reminder of danger:

Be careful dumping curl output around, if any of it gets interpreted and executed, your box is owned and your credit card info will be sold to third parties and you'll get a mysterious $900 charge from an Alabama one-man flooring company that's a front for overseas credit card fraud crime ring.

'JSON' is undefined error in JavaScript in Internet Explorer

Maybe it is not what you are looking for, but I had a similar problem and i solved it including JSON 2 to my application:

https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js

Other browsers natively implements JSON but IE < 8 (also IE 8 compatibility mode) does not, that's why you need to include it.

Here is a related question: JSON on IE6 (IE7)

UPDATE

the JSON parser has been updated so you should use the new one: http://bestiejs.github.io/json3/

Setting public class variables

If you are going to follow the examples given (using getter/setter or setting it in the constructor) change it to private since those are ways to control what is set in the variable.

It doesn't make sense to keep the property public with all those things added to the class.

How can a add a row to a data frame in R?

There's now add_row() from the tibble or tidyverse packages.

library(tidyverse)
df %>% add_row(hello = "hola", goodbye = "ciao")

Unspecified columns get an NA.

Replace last occurrence of character in string

You can use this code

_x000D_
_x000D_
var str="test_String_ABC";_x000D_
var strReplacedWith=" and ";_x000D_
var currentIndex = str.lastIndexOf("_");_x000D_
str = str.substring(0, currentIndex) + strReplacedWith + str.substring(currentIndex + 1, str.length);_x000D_
_x000D_
alert(str);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

What is the equivalent of Java's System.out.println() in Javascript?

Essentially console.log("Put a message here.") if the browser has a supporting console.

Another typical debugging method is using alerts, alert("Put a message here.")

RE: Update II

This seems to make sense, you are trying to automate QUnit tests, from what I have read on QUnit this is an in-browser unit testing suite/library. QUnit expects to run in a browser and therefore expects the browser to recognize all of the JavaScript functions you are calling.

Based on your Maven configuration it appears you are using Rhino to execute your Javascript at the command line/terminal. This is not going to work for testing browser specifics, you would likely need to look into Selenium for this. If you do not care about testing your JavaScript in a browser but are only testing JavaScript at a command line level (for reason I would not be familiar with) it appears that Rhino recognizes a print() method for evaluating expressions and printing them out. Checkout this documentation.

These links might be of interest to you.

Malformed String ValueError ast.literal_eval() with String representation of Tuple

I know this is an old question, but I think found a very simple answer, in case anybody needs it.

If you put string quotes inside your string ("'hello'"), ast_literaleval() will understand it perfectly.

You can use a simple function:

    def doubleStringify(a):
        b = "\'" + a + "\'"
        return b

Or probably more suitable for this example:

    def perfectEval(anonstring):
        try:
            ev = ast.literal_eval(anonstring)
            return ev
        except ValueError:
            corrected = "\'" + anonstring + "\'"
            ev = ast.literal_eval(corrected)
            return ev

rsync - mkstemp failed: Permission denied (13)

This might not suit everyone since it does not preserve the original file permissions but in my case it was not important and it solved the problem for me. rsync has an option --chmod:

--chmod This option tells rsync to apply one or more comma-separated lqchmodrq strings to the permission of the files in the transfer. The resulting value is treated as though it was the permissions that the sending side supplied for the file, which means that this option can seem to have no effect on existing files if --perms is not enabled.

This forces the permissions to be what you want on all files/directories. For example:

rsync -av --chmod=Du+rwx SRC DST

would add Read, Write and Execute for the user to all transferred directories.

Javascript getElementById based on a partial string

I'm not entirely sure I know what you're asking about, but you can use string functions to create the actual ID that you're looking for.

var base = "common";
var num = 3;

var o = document.getElementById(base + num);  // will find id="common3"

If you don't know the actual ID, then you can't look up the object with getElementById, you'd have to find it some other way (by class name, by tag type, by attribute, by parent, by child, etc...).

Now that you've finally given us some of the HTML, you could use this plain JS to find all form elements that have an ID that starts with "poll-":

// get a list of all form objects that have the right type of ID
function findPollForms() {
    var list = getElementsByTagName("form");
    var results = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
        var id = list[i].id;
        if (id && id.search(/^poll-/) != -1) {
            results.push(list[i]);
        }
    }
    return(results);
}

// return the ID of the first form object that has the right type of ID
function findFirstPollFormID() {
    var list = getElementsByTagName("form");
    var results = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
        var id = list[i].id;
        if (id && id.search(/^poll-/) != -1) {
            return(id);
        }
    }
    return(null);
}

What's the difference between getPath(), getAbsolutePath(), and getCanonicalPath() in Java?

Consider these filenames:

C:\temp\file.txt - This is a path, an absolute path, and a canonical path.

.\file.txt - This is a path. It's neither an absolute path nor a canonical path.

C:\temp\myapp\bin\..\\..\file.txt - This is a path and an absolute path. It's not a canonical path.

A canonical path is always an absolute path.

Converting from a path to a canonical path makes it absolute (usually tack on the current working directory so e.g. ./file.txt becomes c:/temp/file.txt). The canonical path of a file just "purifies" the path, removing and resolving stuff like ..\ and resolving symlinks (on unixes).

Also note the following example with nio.Paths:

String canonical_path_string = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\";
String absolute_path_string = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\..\\";

System.out.println(Paths.get(canonical_path_string).getParent());
System.out.println(Paths.get(absolute_path_string).getParent());

While both paths refer to the same location, the output will be quite different:

C:\Windows
C:\Windows\System32\drivers

How to use paginator from material angular?

based on Wesley Coetzee's answer i wrote this. Hope it can help anyone googling this issue. I had bugs with swapping the paginator size in the middle of the list that's why i submit my answer:

Paginator html and list

<mat-paginator [length]="localNewspapers.length" pageSize=20
               (page)="getPaginatorData($event)" [pageSizeOptions]="[10, 20, 30]"

</mat-paginator>
<mat-list>
   <app-newspaper-pagi-item *ngFor="let paper of (localNewspapers | 
                         slice: lowValue : highValue)"
                         [newspaper]="paper"> 
  </app-newspaper-pagi-item>

Component logic

import {Component, Input, OnInit} from "@angular/core";
import {PageEvent} from "@angular/material";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-uniques-newspaper-list',
  templateUrl: './newspaper-uniques-list.component.html',
})
export class NewspaperUniquesListComponent implements OnInit {
  lowValue: number = 0;
  highValue: number = 20;

  // used to build an array of papers relevant at any given time
  public getPaginatorData(event: PageEvent): PageEvent {
    this.lowValue = event.pageIndex * event.pageSize;
    this.highValue = this.lowValue + event.pageSize;
    return event;
  }

}

Best practices for circular shift (rotate) operations in C++

See also an earlier version of this answer on another rotate question with some more details about what asm gcc/clang produce for x86.

The most compiler-friendly way to express a rotate in C and C++ that avoids any Undefined Behaviour seems to be John Regehr's implementation. I've adapted it to rotate by the width of the type (using fixed-width types like uint32_t).

#include <stdint.h>   // for uint32_t
#include <limits.h>   // for CHAR_BIT
// #define NDEBUG
#include <assert.h>

static inline uint32_t rotl32 (uint32_t n, unsigned int c)
{
  const unsigned int mask = (CHAR_BIT*sizeof(n) - 1);  // assumes width is a power of 2.

  // assert ( (c<=mask) &&"rotate by type width or more");
  c &= mask;
  return (n<<c) | (n>>( (-c)&mask ));
}

static inline uint32_t rotr32 (uint32_t n, unsigned int c)
{
  const unsigned int mask = (CHAR_BIT*sizeof(n) - 1);

  // assert ( (c<=mask) &&"rotate by type width or more");
  c &= mask;
  return (n>>c) | (n<<( (-c)&mask ));
}

Works for any unsigned integer type, not just uint32_t, so you could make versions for other sizes.

See also a C++11 template version with lots of safety checks (including a static_assert that the type width is a power of 2), which isn't the case on some 24-bit DSPs or 36-bit mainframes, for example.

I'd recommend only using the template as a back-end for wrappers with names that include the rotate width explicitly. Integer-promotion rules mean that rotl_template(u16 & 0x11UL, 7) would do a 32 or 64-bit rotate, not 16 (depending on the width of unsigned long). Even uint16_t & uint16_t is promoted to signed int by C++'s integer-promotion rules, except on platforms where int is no wider than uint16_t.


On x86, this version inlines to a single rol r32, cl (or rol r32, imm8) with compilers that grok it, because the compiler knows that x86 rotate and shift instructions mask the shift-count the same way the C source does.

Compiler support for this UB-avoiding idiom on x86, for uint32_t x and unsigned int n for variable-count shifts:

  • clang: recognized for variable-count rotates since clang3.5, multiple shifts+or insns before that.
  • gcc: recognized for variable-count rotates since gcc4.9, multiple shifts+or insns before that. gcc5 and later optimize away the branch and mask in the wikipedia version, too, using just a ror or rol instruction for variable counts.
  • icc: supported for variable-count rotates since ICC13 or earlier. Constant-count rotates use shld edi,edi,7 which is slower and takes more bytes than rol edi,7 on some CPUs (especially AMD, but also some Intel), when BMI2 isn't available for rorx eax,edi,25 to save a MOV.
  • MSVC: x86-64 CL19: Only recognized for constant-count rotates. (The wikipedia idiom is recognized, but the branch and AND aren't optimized away). Use the _rotl / _rotr intrinsics from <intrin.h> on x86 (including x86-64).

gcc for ARM uses an and r1, r1, #31 for variable-count rotates, but still does the actual rotate with a single instruction: ror r0, r0, r1. So gcc doesn't realize that rotate-counts are inherently modular. As the ARM docs say, "ROR with shift length, n, more than 32 is the same as ROR with shift length n-32". I think gcc gets confused here because left/right shifts on ARM saturate the count, so a shift by 32 or more will clear the register. (Unlike x86, where shifts mask the count the same as rotates). It probably decides it needs an AND instruction before recognizing the rotate idiom, because of how non-circular shifts work on that target.

Current x86 compilers still use an extra instruction to mask a variable count for 8 and 16-bit rotates, probably for the same reason they don't avoid the AND on ARM. This is a missed optimization, because performance doesn't depend on the rotate count on any x86-64 CPU. (Masking of counts was introduced with 286 for performance reasons because it handled shifts iteratively, not with constant-latency like modern CPUs.)

BTW, prefer rotate-right for variable-count rotates, to avoid making the compiler do 32-n to implement a left rotate on architectures like ARM and MIPS that only provide a rotate-right. (This optimizes away with compile-time-constant counts.)

Fun fact: ARM doesn't really have dedicated shift/rotate instructions, it's just MOV with the source operand going through the barrel-shifter in ROR mode: mov r0, r0, ror r1. So a rotate can fold into a register-source operand for an EOR instruction or something.


Make sure you use unsigned types for n and the return value, or else it won't be a rotate. (gcc for x86 targets does arithmetic right shifts, shifting in copies of the sign-bit rather than zeroes, leading to a problem when you OR the two shifted values together. Right-shifts of negative signed integers is implementation-defined behaviour in C.)

Also, make sure the shift count is an unsigned type, because (-n)&31 with a signed type could be one's complement or sign/magnitude, and not the same as the modular 2^n you get with unsigned or two's complement. (See comments on Regehr's blog post). unsigned int does well on every compiler I've looked at, for every width of x. Some other types actually defeat the idiom-recognition for some compilers, so don't just use the same type as x.


Some compilers provide intrinsics for rotates, which is far better than inline-asm if the portable version doesn't generate good code on the compiler you're targeting. There aren't cross-platform intrinsics for any compilers that I know of. These are some of the x86 options:

  • Intel documents that <immintrin.h> provides _rotl and _rotl64 intrinsics, and same for right shift. MSVC requires <intrin.h>, while gcc require <x86intrin.h>. An #ifdef takes care of gcc vs. icc, but clang doesn't seem to provide them anywhere, except in MSVC compatibility mode with -fms-extensions -fms-compatibility -fms-compatibility-version=17.00. And the asm it emits for them sucks (extra masking and a CMOV).
  • MSVC: _rotr8 and _rotr16.
  • gcc and icc (not clang): <x86intrin.h> also provides __rolb/__rorb for 8-bit rotate left/right, __rolw/__rorw (16-bit), __rold/__rord (32-bit), __rolq/__rorq (64-bit, only defined for 64-bit targets). For narrow rotates, the implementation uses __builtin_ia32_rolhi or ...qi, but the 32 and 64-bit rotates are defined using shift/or (with no protection against UB, because the code in ia32intrin.h only has to work on gcc for x86). GNU C appears not to have any cross-platform __builtin_rotate functions the way it does for __builtin_popcount (which expands to whatever's optimal on the target platform, even if it's not a single instruction). Most of the time you get good code from idiom-recognition.

// For real use, probably use a rotate intrinsic for MSVC, or this idiom for other compilers.  This pattern of #ifdefs may be helpful
#if defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__i386__)

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#include <intrin.h>
#else
#include <x86intrin.h>  // Not just <immintrin.h> for compilers other than icc
#endif

uint32_t rotl32_x86_intrinsic(rotwidth_t x, unsigned n) {
  //return __builtin_ia32_rorhi(x, 7);  // 16-bit rotate, GNU C
  return _rotl(x, n);  // gcc, icc, msvc.  Intel-defined.
  //return __rold(x, n);  // gcc, icc.
  // can't find anything for clang
}
#endif

Presumably some non-x86 compilers have intrinsics, too, but let's not expand this community-wiki answer to include them all. (Maybe do that in the existing answer about intrinsics).


(The old version of this answer suggested MSVC-specific inline asm (which only works for 32bit x86 code), or http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/14043 for a C version. The comments are replying to that.)

Inline asm defeats many optimizations, especially MSVC-style because it forces inputs to be stored/reloaded. A carefully-written GNU C inline-asm rotate would allow the count to be an immediate operand for compile-time-constant shift counts, but it still couldn't optimize away entirely if the value to be shifted is also a compile-time constant after inlining. https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DontUseInlineAsm.

Downloading a Google font and setting up an offline site that uses it

Essentially you are including the font into your project.

@font-face {
font-family: 'Open Sans';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('path/to/OpenSans.eot');
src: local('Open Sans'), local('OpenSans'), url('path/to/OpenSans.ttf') format('truetype');

Difference between core and processor

CPU is a central processing unit. Since 2002 we have only single core processor i.e. we will only perform a single task or a program at a time.

For having multiple programs run at a time we have to use the multiple processor for executing multi processes at a time so we required another motherboard for that and that is very expensive.

So, Intel introduced the concept of hyper threading i.e. it will convert the single CPU into two virtual CPUs i.e we have two cores for our task. Now the CPU is single, but it is only pretending (masqueraded) that it has a dual CPU and performs multiple tasks. But having real multiple cores will be better than that so people develop making multi-core processor i.e. multiple processors on a single box i.e. grabbing a multiple CPU on single big CPU. I.e. multiple cores.

PHP - get base64 img string decode and save as jpg (resulting empty image )

AFAIK, You have to use image function imagecreatefromstring, imagejpeg to create the images.

$imageData = base64_decode($imageData);
$source = imagecreatefromstring($imageData);
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $angle, 0); // if want to rotate the image
$imageSave = imagejpeg($rotate,$imageName,100);
imagedestroy($source);

Hope this will help.

PHP CODE WITH IMAGE DATA

$imageDataEncoded = base64_encode(file_get_contents('sample.png'));
$imageData = base64_decode($imageDataEncoded);
$source = imagecreatefromstring($imageData);
$angle = 90;
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $angle, 0); // if want to rotate the image
$imageName = "hello1.png";
$imageSave = imagejpeg($rotate,$imageName,100);
imagedestroy($source);

So Following is the php part of your program .. NOTE the change with comment Change is here

    $uploadedPhotos = array('photo_1','photo_2','photo_3','photo_4');
     foreach ($uploadedPhotos as $file) {
      if($this->input->post($file)){                   
         $imageData = base64_decode($this->input->post($file)); // <-- **Change is here for variable name only**
         $photo = imagecreatefromstring($imageData); // <-- **Change is here**

        /* Set name of the photo for show in the form */
        $this->session->set_userdata('upload_'.$file,'ant');
        /*set time of the upload*/
        if(!$this->session->userdata('uploading_on_datetime')){
         $this->session->set_userdata('uploading_on_datetime',time());
        }
         $datetime_upload = $this->session->userdata('uploading_on_datetime',true);

        /* create temp dir with time and user id */
        $new_dir = 'temp/user_'.$this->session->userdata('user_id',true).'_on_'.$datetime_upload.'/';
        if(!is_dir($new_dir)){
        @mkdir($new_dir);
        }
        /* move uploaded file with new name */
        // @file_put_contents( $new_dir.$file.'.jpg',imagejpeg($photo));
        imagejpeg($photo,$new_dir.$file.'.jpg',100); // <-- **Change is here**

      }
    }

std::queue iteration

One indirect solution can be to use std::deque instead. It supports all operations of queue and you can iterate over it just by using for(auto& x:qu). It's much more efficient than using a temporary copy of queue for iteration.
