Create GUI using Eclipse (Java)

There are lot of GUI designers even like Eclipse plugins, just few of them could use both, Swing and SWT..

WindowBuilder Pro GUI Designer - eclipse marketplace

WindowBuilder Pro GUI Designer - Google code home page

and

Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder - eclipse market place

Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder - home page

The window builder is quite better tool..

But IMHO, GUIs created by those tools have really ugly and unmanageable code..

Virtualenv Command Not Found

Same problem: So I just did pip uninstall virtualenv Then pip install virtualenv

pip install virtualenv --user

Collecting virtualenv Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/b6/30/96a02b2287098b23b875bc8c2f58071c35d2efe84f747b64d523721dc2b5/virtualenv-16.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl Installing collected packages: virtualenv

Then I got this :

The script virtualenv is installed in '/Users/brahim/Library/Python/2.7/bin' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

which clearly says where it is installed and what to do to get it

In a Dockerfile, How to update PATH environment variable?

Although the answer that Gunter posted was correct, it is not different than what I already had posted. The problem was not the ENV directive, but the subsequent instruction RUN export $PATH

There's no need to export the environment variables, once you have declared them via ENV in your Dockerfile.

As soon as the RUN export ... lines were removed, my image was built successfully

How to rename a pane in tmux?

The easiest option for me was to rename the title of the terminal instead. Please see: https://superuser.com/questions/362227/how-to-change-the-title-of-the-mintty-window

In this answer, they mention to modify the PS1 variable. Note: my situation was particular to cygwin.

TL;DR Put this in your .bashrc file:

function settitle() {
      export PS1="\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n$ "
      echo -ne "\e]0;$1\a"
}

Put this in your .tmux.conf file, or similar formatting:

set -g pane-border-status bottom
set -g pane-border-format "#P #T #{pane_current_command}"

Then you can change the title of the pane by typing this in the console:

settitle titlename

Error: [ng:areq] from angular controller

The same problem happened with me but my problem was that I wasn't adding the FILE_NAME_WHERE_IS_MY_FUNCTION.js

so my file.html never found where my function was

Once I add the "file.js" I resolved the problem

how to get html content from a webview?

Android will not let you do this for security concerns. An evil developer could very easily steal user-entered login information.

Instead, you have to catch the text being displayed in the webview before it is displayed. If you don't want to set up a response handler (as per the other answers), I found this fix with some googling:

URL url = new URL("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1381617");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("text/html;\\s+charset=([^\\s]+)\\s*");
Matcher m = p.matcher(con.getContentType());
/* If Content-Type doesn't match this pre-conception, choose default and 
 * hope for the best. */
String charset = m.matches() ? m.group(1) : "ISO-8859-1";
Reader r = new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream(), charset);
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
while (true) {
  int ch = r.read();
  if (ch < 0)
    break;
  buf.append((char) ch);
}
String str = buf.toString();

This is a lot of code, and you should be able to copy/paster it, and at the end of it str will contain the same html drawn in the webview. This answer is from Simplest way to correctly load html from web page into a string in Java and it should work on Android as well. I have not tested this and did not write it myself, but it might help you out.

Also, the URL this is pulling is hardcoded, so you'll have to change that.

LaTeX: Multiple authors in a two-column article

I put together a little test here:

\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article}

\title{Article Title}
\author{
    First Author\\
    Department\\
    school\\
    email@edu
  \and
    Second Author\\
    Department\\
    school\\
    email@edu
    \and
    Third Author\\
    Department\\
    school\\
    email@edu
    \and
    Fourth Author\\
    Department\\
    school\\
    email@edu
}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
\ldots
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}
\ldots

\end{document}

Things to note, the title, author and date fields are declared before \begin{document}. Also, the multicol package is likely unnecessary in this case since you have declared twocolumn in the document class.

This example puts all four authors on the same line, but if your authors have longer names, departments or emails, this might cause it to flow over onto another line. You might be able to change the font sizes around a little bit to make things fit. This could be done by doing something like {\small First Author}. Here's a more detailed article on \LaTeX font sizes:

https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/LaTeXChangingTheFont

To italicize you can use {\it First Name} or \textit{First Name}.

Be careful though, if the document is meant for publication often times journals or conference proceedings have their own formatting guidelines so font size trickery might not be allowed.

Can I run multiple versions of Google Chrome on the same machine? (Mac or Windows)

Your mileage may vary (mine sure did), but here's what worked for me (current version of Chrome as of this post is 33.x, and I was interested in 24.x)

Visit the Chromium repo proxy lookup site: http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/
In the little box called "Revision Lookup" type in the version number. This will translate it to a Subversion revision number. Keep that number in mind.
Visit the build repository: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html
Select the folder corresponding to the OS you're interested in (I have Win x64, but had to use Win,because there was no x64 build corresponding to the version I was looking for).
If you select Win, you could be in for a wait - as some of the pages have a lot of entries. Once the page loads, scroll to the folder containing the revision number you identified in an earlier step. If you don't find one, choose the next one up. This is a bit of trial and error to be honest - I had to back up about 50 revisions until I found a version close to the one I was looking for
Drill into that folder and download (on the Win version) chrome-win32.zip. That's all you need.
Unzip that file and then run chrome.exe

This worked for me and I'm running the latest Chrome alongside version 25, without problems (some profile issues on the older version, but that's neither here nor there). Didn't need to do anything else.

Again, YMMV, but try this solution first since it requires the least amount of tomfoolery.

How to increase the execution timeout in php?

First check the php.ini file path by phpinfo(); and then changed PHP.INI params:

upload_max_filesize = 1000M
memory_limit = 1500M
post_max_size = 1500M
max_execution_time = 30

restarted Apache

set_time_limit(0); // safe_mode is off

ini_set('max_execution_time', 500); //500 seconds

Note: you can also use command to find php.ini in Linux

locate `php.ini`

Dynamically add event listener

Renderer has been deprecated in Angular 4.0.0-rc.1, read the update below

The angular2 way is to use listen or listenGlobal from Renderer

For example, if you want to add a click event to a Component, you have to use Renderer and ElementRef (this gives you as well the option to use ViewChild, or anything that retrieves the nativeElement)

constructor(elementRef: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {

    // Listen to click events in the component
    renderer.listen(elementRef.nativeElement, 'click', (event) => {
      // Do something with 'event'
    })
);

You can use listenGlobal that will give you access to document, body, etc.

renderer.listenGlobal('document', 'click', (event) => {
  // Do something with 'event'
});

Note that since beta.2 both listen and listenGlobal return a function to remove the listener (see breaking changes section from changelog for beta.2). This is to avoid memory leaks in big applications (see #6686).

So to remove the listener we added dynamically we must assign listen or listenGlobal to a variable that will hold the function returned, and then we execute it.

// listenFunc will hold the function returned by "renderer.listen"
listenFunc: Function;

// globalListenFunc will hold the function returned by "renderer.listenGlobal"
globalListenFunc: Function;

constructor(elementRef: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {
    
    // We cache the function "listen" returns
    this.listenFunc = renderer.listen(elementRef.nativeElement, 'click', (event) => {
        // Do something with 'event'
    });

    // We cache the function "listenGlobal" returns
    this.globalListenFunc = renderer.listenGlobal('document', 'click', (event) => {
        // Do something with 'event'
    });
}

ngOnDestroy() {
    // We execute both functions to remove the respectives listeners

    // Removes "listen" listener
    this.listenFunc();
    
    // Removs "listenGlobal" listener
    this.globalListenFunc();
}

Here's a plnkr with an example working. The example contains the usage of listen and listenGlobal.

Using RendererV2 with Angular 4.0.0-rc.1+ ^{_{(Renderer2 since 4.0.0-rc.3)}}

25/02/2017: Renderer has been deprecated, now we should use ~~RendererV2~~ (see line below). See the commit.
10/03/2017: RendererV2 was renamed to Renderer2. See the breaking changes.

RendererV2 has no more listenGlobal function for global events (document, body, window). It only has a listen function which achieves both functionalities.

For reference, I'm copy & pasting the source code of the DOM Renderer implementation since it may change (yes, it's angular!).

listen(target: 'window'|'document'|'body'|any, event: string, callback: (event: any) => boolean):
      () => void {
    if (typeof target === 'string') {
      return <() => void>this.eventManager.addGlobalEventListener(
          target, event, decoratePreventDefault(callback));
    }
    return <() => void>this.eventManager.addEventListener(
               target, event, decoratePreventDefault(callback)) as() => void;
  }

As you can see, now it verifies if we're passing a string (document, body or window), in which case it will use an internal addGlobalEventListener function. In any other case, when we pass an element (nativeElement) it will use a simple addEventListener

To remove the listener it's the same as it was with Renderer in angular 2.x. listen returns a function, then call that function.

Example

// Add listeners
let global = this.renderer.listen('document', 'click', (evt) => {
  console.log('Clicking the document', evt);
})

let simple = this.renderer.listen(this.myButton.nativeElement, 'click', (evt) => {
  console.log('Clicking the button', evt);
});

// Remove listeners
global();
simple();

Set a thin border using .css() in javascript

After a few futile hours battling with a 'SyntaxError: missing : after property id' message I can now expand on this topic:

border-width is a valid css property but it is not included in the jQuery css oject definition, so .css({border-width: '2px'}) will cause an error, but it's quite happy with .css({'border-width': '2px'}), presumably property names in quotes are just passed on as received.

UICollectionView - Horizontal scroll, horizontal layout?

1st approach

What about using UIPageViewController with an array of UICollectionViewControllers? You'd have to fetch proper number of items in each UICollectionViewController, but it shouldn't be hard. You'd get exactly the same look as the Springboard has.

2nd approach

I've thought about this and in my opinion you have to set:

self.collectionView.pagingEnabled = YES;

and create your own collection view layout by subclassing UICollectionViewLayout. From the custom layout object you can access self.collectionView, so you'll know what is the size of the collection view's frame, numberOfSections and numberOfItemsInSection:. With that information you can calculate cells' frames (in prepareLayout) and collectionViewContentSize. Here're some articles about creating custom layouts:

3rd approach

You can do this (or an approximation of it) without creating the custom layout. Add UIScrollView in the blank view, set paging enabled in it. In the scroll view add the a collection view. Then add to it a width constraint, check in code how many items you have and set its constant to the correct value, e.g. (self.view.frame.size.width * numOfScreens). Here's how it looks (numbers on cells show the indexPath.row): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ss4jdbvr511azxz/collection_view.mov If you're not satisfied with the way cells are ordered, then I'm afraid you'd have to go with 1. or 2.

List<object>.RemoveAll - How to create an appropriate Predicate

This should work (where enquiryId is the id you need to match against):

vehicles.RemoveAll(vehicle => vehicle.EnquiryID == enquiryId);

What this does is passes each vehicle in the list into the lambda predicate, evaluating the predicate. If the predicate returns true (ie. vehicle.EnquiryID == enquiryId), then the current vehicle will be removed from the list.

If you know the types of the objects in your collections, then using the generic collections is a better approach. It avoids casting when retrieving objects from the collections, but can also avoid boxing if the items in the collection are value types (which can cause performance issues).

how to get program files x86 env variable?

On a 64-bit Windows system, the reading of the various environment variables and some Windows Registry keys is redirected to different sources, depending whether the process doing the reading is 32-bit or 64-bit.

The table below lists these data sources:

X = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Y = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Z = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
     
READING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:    Source for 64-bit process               Source for 32-bit process

           %ProgramFiles(x86)% :  X\ProgramFilesDir (x86)                 X\ProgramFilesDir (x86)
                %ProgramW6432% :  X\ProgramW6432Dir                       X\ProgramW6432Dir
     
          %CommonProgramFiles% :  X\CommonW6432Dir                        X\CommonFilesDir (x86)

       X\ProgramFilesDir (x86) :  X\ProgramFilesDir (x86)                 Y\ProgramFilesDir (x86)
            X\ProgramFilesPath :  X\ProgramFilesPath = %ProgramFiles%     Y\ProgramFilesPath = %ProgramFiles(x86)%
             X\ProgramW6432Dir :  X\ProgramW6432Dir                       Y\ProgramW6432Dir
     
              X\CommonFilesDir :  X\CommonFilesDir                        Y\CommonFilesDir
        X\CommonFilesDir (x86) :  X\CommonFilesDir (x86)                  Y\CommonFilesDir (x86)

So for example, for a 32-bit process, the source of the data for the %ProgramFiles% and %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variables is the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir (x86).

However, for a 64-bit process, the source of the data for the %ProgramFiles% environment variable is the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramW6432Dir ...and the source of the data for the %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable is the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir (x86)

Most default Windows installation put a string like C:\Program Files (x86) into the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir (x86) but this (and others) can be changed.

Whatever is entered into these Windows Registry values will be read by Windows Explorer into respective Environment Variables upon login and then copied to any child process that it subsequently spawns.

The registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesPath is especially noteworthy because most Windows installations put the string %ProgramFiles% into it, to be read by 64-bit processes. This string refers to the environment variable %ProgramFiles% which in turn, takes its data from the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramW6432Dir ...unless some program changes the value of this environment variable apriori.

I have written a small utility, which displays these environment variables for 64-bit and 32-bit processes. You can download it here.
The source code for VisualStudio 2017 is included and the compiled 64-bit and 32-bit binary executables are in the directories ..\x64\Release and ..\x86\Release, respectively.

Form inline inside a form horizontal in twitter bootstrap?

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

HTML:

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

           <div class="form-inline">
              <div class="form-group">

           </div>
        </form>
     </div>

How to set an environment variable from a Gradle build?

You can also "prepend" the environment variable setting by using 'environment' command:

run.doFirst { environment 'SPARK_LOCAL_IP', 'localhost' }

Call Class Method From Another Class

In Python function are first class citezens, so you can just assign it to a property like any other value. Here we are assigning the method of A's hello to a property on B. After __init__, hello will be attached to B as self.hello, which is actually a reference to A's hello:

class A:
    def hello(self, msg):
        print(f"Hello {msg}")
    
class B:
    hello = A.hello

print(A.hello)
print(B.hello)

b = B()
b.hello("good looking!")

Prints:

<function A.hello at 0x7fcce55b9e50>
<function A.hello at 0x7fcce55b9e50>
Hello good looking!

.NET: Simplest way to send POST with data and read response

Use WebRequest. From Scott Hanselman:

public static string HttpPost(string URI, string Parameters) 
{
   System.Net.WebRequest req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URI);
   req.Proxy = new System.Net.WebProxy(ProxyString, true);
   //Add these, as we're doing a POST
   req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
   req.Method = "POST";
   //We need to count how many bytes we're sending. 
   //Post'ed Faked Forms should be name=value&
   byte [] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Parameters);
   req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
   System.IO.Stream os = req.GetRequestStream ();
   os.Write (bytes, 0, bytes.Length); //Push it out there
   os.Close ();
   System.Net.WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
   if (resp== null) return null;
   System.IO.StreamReader sr = 
         new System.IO.StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
   return sr.ReadToEnd().Trim();
}

package javax.servlet.http does not exist

This error occurs when you compile a java program using classes that support the Servlet API. The compiler searches for the library (included in a .jar file) by using the CLASSPATH. You can specify this when you compile using -classpath or -cp options as noted in other responses, but you should set up your environment to define the classpath as needed.

Set the CLASSPATH environment variable to reference the location of servlet-api.jar, which depends on your setup (OS, how you installed, etc.)

Assuming you're using Tomcat and have installed it in one of 20 possible ways, the APIs used by servlets will be installed on your system, relative to wherever Tomcat is installed. For historical reasons, Tomcat is also known as "Catalina", so you can use the command "catalina" to run certain commands, and alone, it will report, amongst other things the CATALINA_BASE. For example on my Mac using Tomcat installed using homebrew it's

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.9/libexec

The location of the Tomcat servlet libraries is under this in the lib directory. Set CATALINA_BASE, then set CLASSPATH using the base as a start, for example for Linux or OSX you might set this in .profile, or .bash_profile like so:

export CATALINA_BASE=/usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.9/libexec
export CLASSPATH=$CATALINA_BASE/lib/servlet-api.jar:$CLASSPATH

Exit the terminal/shell and come back in to run the profile. You should be able to see that the variable is set by using the echo command, e.g.

echo $CLASSPATH

or in Windows

echo %CLASSPATH%

If it displays the full path to the jar `javac WebTest.java' compile your class.

Other answers are correct -- set up your IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ) to know about Tomcat or build with Maven and you'll save pain.

How do I create a singleton service in Angular 2?

Here is a working example with Angular version 2.3. Just call the constructor of the service the stand way like this constructor(private _userService:UserService) . And it will create a singleton for the app.

user.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import { Subject }    from 'rxjs/Subject';
import { User } from '../object/user';


@Injectable()
export class UserService {
    private userChangedSource;
    public observableEvents;
    loggedUser:User;

    constructor() {
       this.userChangedSource = new Subject<any>();

How to indent HTML tags in Notepad++

Use the XML Tools plugin for Notepad++ and then you can Auto-Indent the code with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B .For the more point-and-click inclined, you could also go to Plugins --> XML Tools --> Pretty Print.

Why is "throws Exception" necessary when calling a function?

Basically, if you are not handling the exception in the same place as you are throwing it, then you can use "throws exception" at the definition of the function.

CMake output/build directory

There's little need to set all the variables you're setting. CMake sets them to reasonable defaults. You should definitely not modify CMAKE_BINARY_DIR or CMAKE_CACHEFILE_DIR. Treat these as read-only.

First remove the existing problematic cache file from the src directory:

cd src
rm CMakeCache.txt
cd ..

Then remove all the set() commands and do:

cd Compile && rm -rf *
cmake ../src

As long as you're outside of the source directory when running CMake, it will not modify the source directory unless your CMakeList explicitly tells it to do so.

Once you have this working, you can look at where CMake puts things by default, and only if you're not satisfied with the default locations (such as the default value of EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH), modify only those you need. And try to express them relative to CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, PROJECT_BINARY_DIR etc.

If you look at CMake documentation, you'll see variables partitioned into semantic sections. Except for very special circumstances, you should treat all those listed under "Variables that Provide Information" as read-only inside CMakeLists.

Adding style="width:100%;max-width:640px" to the image tag will scale it up to the viewport width, i.e. for larger windows it will look fixed width.

Tower of Hanoi: Recursive Algorithm

I am trying to get recursion too.

I found a way i think,

i think of it like a chain of steps(the step isnt constant it may change depending on the previous node)

I have to figure out 2 things:

previous node
step kind
after the step what else before call(this is the argument for the next call

example

factorial

1,2,6,24,120 ......... or

1,2*(1),3*(2*1),4*(3*2*1,5*(4*3*2*1)

step=multiple by last node

after the step what i need to get to the next node,abstract 1

function =

n*f(n-1) 

its 2 steps process
from a-->to step--->b

i hoped this help,just think about 2 thniks,not how to get from node to node,but node-->step-->node

node-->step is the body of the function step-->node is the arguments of the other function

bye:) hope i helped

How to determine whether a given Linux is 32 bit or 64 bit?

If you have a 64-bit OS, instead of i686, you have x86_64 or ia64 in the output of uname -a. In that you do not have any of these two strings; you have a 32-bit OS (note that this does not mean that your CPU is not 64-bit).

How do I sort a list of dictionaries by a value of the dictionary?

It may look cleaner using a key instead a cmp:

newlist = sorted(list_to_be_sorted, key=lambda k: k['name'])

or as J.F.Sebastian and others suggested,

from operator import itemgetter
newlist = sorted(list_to_be_sorted, key=itemgetter('name'))

For completeness (as pointed out in comments by fitzgeraldsteele), add reverse=True to sort descending

newlist = sorted(l, key=itemgetter('name'), reverse=True)

Test for array of string type in TypeScript

Here is the most concise solution so far:

function isArrayOfStrings(value: any): boolean {
   return Array.isArray(value) && value.every(item => typeof item === "string");
}

Note that value.every will return true for an empty array. If you need to return false for an empty array, you should add value.length to the condition clause:

function isNonEmptyArrayOfStrings(value: any): boolean {
    return Array.isArray(value) && value.length && value.every(item => typeof item === "string");
}

There is no any run-time type information in TypeScript (and there won't be, see TypeScript Design Goals > Non goals, 5), so there is no way to get the type of an empty array. For a non-empty array all you can do is to check the type of its items, one by one.

Convert JavaScript string in dot notation into an object reference

var a = { b: { c: 9 } };

function value(layer, path, value) {
    var i = 0,
        path = path.split('.');

    for (; i < path.length; i++)
        if (value != null && i + 1 === path.length)
            layer[path[i]] = value;
        layer = layer[path[i]];

    return layer;
};

value(a, 'b.c'); // 9

value(a, 'b.c', 4);

value(a, 'b.c'); // 4

This is a lot of code when compared to the much simpler eval way of doing it, but like Simon Willison says, you should never use eval.

Also, JSFiddle.

How to modify a CSS display property from JavaScript?

I found the solution.

As said in the EDIT of my answer, a <div> is misfunctioning in a <table>. So I wrote this code instead :

<tr id="hidden" style="display:none;">
    <td class="depot_table_left">
        <label for="sexe">Sexe</label>
    </td>
    <td>
        <select type="text" name="sexe">
            <option value="1">Sexe</option>
            <option value="2">Joueur</option>
            <option value="3">Joueuse</option>
        </select>
    </td>
</tr>

And this is working fine.

Thanks everybody ;)

Uninstall Eclipse under OSX?

I know this thread is too old but recently I was wondering how to delete eclipse app on my MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra.

Bellow are the steps which I followed to delete it from my system. Added screenshots for more clear understanding.

Open the eclipse app and it will show an app icon in dock. If it is not already present in dock then please try to run the app from Spotlight Search by pressing ? + space.
Now right click on that eclipse logo from dock and click Show in Finder under Options.

It will open the location of the eclipse app in an external finder window.

You can just delete the entire root directory (i.e. - eclipse) by pressing ? + delete.

Don't forget to delete the app from Trash as well if you are removing it from system completely.

Thanks. Hope this helped.

Simulate low network connectivity for Android

Facebook built something called Augmented Traffic Control. A brief summary from their GitHub page:

Augmented Traffic Control (ATC) is a tool to simulate network conditions. It allows controlling the connection that a device has to the internet. Developers can use ATC to test their application across varying network conditions, easily emulating high speed, mobile, and even severely impaired networks. Aspects of the connection that can be controlled include:

bandwidth

latency

packet loss

corrupted packets

packets ordering

In order to be able to shape the network traffic, ATC must be running on a device that routes the traffic and sees the real IP address of the device, like your network gateway for instance. This also allows any devices that route through ATC to be able to shape their traffic. Traffic can be shaped/unshaped using a web interface allowing any devices with a web browser to use ATC without the need for a client application.

You can find it here on GitHub: https://github.com/facebook/augmented-traffic-control

They have also written a blog post about it: https://code.facebook.com/posts/1561127100804165/augmented-traffic-control-a-tool-to-simulate-network-conditions/

Importing variables from another file?

Actually this is not really the same to import a variable with:

from file1 import x1
print(x1)

and

import file1
print(file1.x1)

Altough at import time x1 and file1.x1 have the same value, they are not the same variables. For instance, call a function in file1 that modifies x1 and then try to print the variable from the main file: you will not see the modified value.

Regular Expression to match valid dates

Sounds like you're overextending regex for this purpose. What I would do is use a regex to match a few date formats and then use a separate function to validate the values of the date fields so extracted.

RichTextBox (WPF) does not have string property "Text"

String's Maximum length in Java - calling length() method

I have a 2010 iMac with 8GB of RAM, running Eclipse Neon.2 Release (4.6.2) with Java 1.8.0_25. With the VM argument -Xmx6g, I ran the following code:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < Integer.MAX_VALUE; i++) {
    try {
        sb.append('a');
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        System.out.println(i);
        break;
    }
}
System.out.println(sb.toString().length());

This prints:

Requested array size exceeds VM limit
1207959550

So, it seems that the max array size is ~1,207,959,549. Then I realized that we don't actually care if Java runs out of memory: we're just looking for the maximum array size (which seems to be a constant defined somewhere). So:

for (int i = 0; i < 1_000; i++) {
    try {
        char[] array = new char[Integer.MAX_VALUE - i];
        Arrays.fill(array, 'a');
        String string = new String(array);
        System.out.println(string.length());
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        System.out.println("Last: " + (Integer.MAX_VALUE - i));
        System.out.println("Last: " + i);
    }
}

Which prints:

Requested array size exceeds VM limit
Last: 2147483647
Last: 0
Requested array size exceeds VM limit
Last: 2147483646
Last: 1
Java heap space
Last: 2147483645
Last: 2

So, it seems the max is Integer.MAX_VALUE - 2, or (2^31) - 3

P.S. I'm not sure why my StringBuilder maxed out at 1207959550 while my char[] maxed out at (2^31)-3. It seems that AbstractStringBuilder doubles the size of its internal char[] to grow it, so that probably causes the issue.

How to write a SQL DELETE statement with a SELECT statement in the WHERE clause?

in this scenario:

DELETE FROM tableA
WHERE (SELECT q.entitynum
FROM tableA q
INNER JOIN tableB u on (u.qlabel = q.entityrole AND u.fieldnum = q.fieldnum) 
WHERE (LENGTH(q.memotext) NOT IN (8,9,10) 
OR q.memotext NOT LIKE '%/%/%')
AND (u.FldFormat = 'Date'));

aren't you missing the column you want to compare to? example:

DELETE FROM tableA
WHERE entitynum in (SELECT q.entitynum
FROM tableA q
INNER JOIN tableB u on (u.qlabel = q.entityrole AND u.fieldnum = q.fieldnum) 
WHERE (LENGTH(q.memotext) NOT IN (8,9,10) 
OR q.memotext NOT LIKE '%/%/%')
AND (u.FldFormat = 'Date'));

I assume it's that column since in your select statement you're selecting from the same table you're wanting to delete from with that column.

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

Assuming it's a server control, you can use Request["ButtonName"]

  return count.getInt(arg);

Is there a concise way to iterate over a stream with indices in Java 8?

If you need the index in the forEach then this provides a way.

  public class IndexedValue {

    private final int    index;
    private final Object value;

    public IndexedValue(final int index, final Object value) { 
        this.index = index;
        this.value = value;
    }

    public int getIndex() {
        return index;
    }

    public Object getValue() {
        return value;
    }
}

Then use it as follows.

@Test
public void withIndex() {
    final List<String> list = Arrays.asList("a", "b");
    IntStream.range(0, list.size())
             .mapToObj(index -> new IndexedValue(index, list.get(index)))
             .forEach(indexValue -> {
                 System.out.println(String.format("%d, %s",
                                                  indexValue.getIndex(),
                                                  indexValue.getValue().toString()));
             });
}

Strip HTML from strings in Python

I have used Eloff's answer successfully for Python 3.1 [many thanks!].

I upgraded to Python 3.2.3, and ran into errors.

The solution, provided here thanks to the responder Thomas K, is to insert super().__init__() into the following code:

def __init__(self):
    self.reset()
    self.fed = []

... in order to make it look like this:

def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    self.reset()
    self.fed = []

... and it will work for Python 3.2.3.

Again, thanks to Thomas K for the fix and for Eloff's original code provided above!

IIS: Display all sites and bindings in PowerShell

I found this question because I wanted to generate a web page with links to all the websites running on my IIS instance. I used Alexander Shapkin's answer to come up with the following to generate a bunch of links.

$hostname = "localhost"

Foreach ($Site in get-website) {
    Foreach ($Bind in $Site.bindings.collection) {
        $data = [PSCustomObject]@{
            name=$Site.name;
            Protocol=$Bind.Protocol;
            Bindings=$Bind.BindingInformation
        }
        $data.Bindings = $data.Bindings -replace '(:$)', ''
        $html = "<a href=""" + $data.Protocol + "://" + $data.Bindings + """>" + $data.name + "</a>"
        $html.Replace("*", $hostname);
    }
}

Then I paste the results into this hastily written HTML:

<html>
<style>
    a { display: block; }
</style>
{paste PowerShell results here}
</body>
</html>

How to count number of files in each directory?

Everyone else's solution has one drawback or another.

find -type d -readable -exec sh -c 'printf "%s " "$1"; ls -1UA "$1" | wc -l' sh {} ';'

Explanation:

-type d: we're interested in directories.
-readable: We only want them if it's possible to list the files in them. Note that find will still emit an error when it tries to search for more directories in them, but this prevents calling -exec for them.
-exec sh -c BLAH sh {} ';': for each directory, run this script fragment, with $0 set to sh and $1 set to the filename.
printf "%s " "$1": portably and minimally print the directory name, followed by only a space, not a newline.
ls -1UA: list the files, one per line, in directory order (to avoid stalling the pipe), excluding only the special directories . and ..
wc -l: count the lines

How do I edit $PATH (.bash_profile) on OSX?

For beginners: To create your .bash_profile file in your home directory on MacOS, run:

nano ~/.bash_profile

Then you can paste in the following:

https://gist.github.com/mocon/0baf15e62163a07cb957888559d1b054

As you can see, it includes some example aliases and an environment variable at the bottom.

One you're done making your changes, follow the instructions at the bottom of the Nano editor window to WriteOut (Ctrl-O) and Exit (Ctrl-X). Then quit your Terminal and reopen it, and you will be able to use your newly defined aliases and environment variables.

Download the Android SDK components for offline install

This has changed for android 4.4.2. .. you should look in the repository file and download https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-10.xml

android-sdk_r20.0.1-windows.zip ( I think that is actually windows specific tools)
android-19_r03.zip for all platform ( actual api) and store under platforms in #1

In manual install dir structure should look like

Now you have to..

download win SDK helper ( avd/SDK magr): https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20.0.1-windows.zip
actual sdk api https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android-20_r01.zip
samples https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/samples-19_r05.zip
images : https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/x86/sys-img.xml e.g. https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sysimg_armv7a-18_r02.zip extract in : “Platforms > Android-4.4.2>"
platform-tools: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r19.0.1-windows.zip
build-tools: create folder (build-tools at main sdk level) https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/build-tools_r17-windows.zip
copy aapt.exe, aidl.exe and dr.bat to platform-tools folder.
you may download tools as well same way
source: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sources-19_r02.zip

At this point you should have a working android installation.

cleanest way to skip a foreach if array is empty

You can check whether $items is actually an array and whether it contains any items:

Splitting a string into chunks of a certain size

It's not pretty and it's not fast, but it works, it's a one-liner and it's LINQy:

List<string> a = text.Select((c, i) => new { Char = c, Index = i }).GroupBy(o => o.Index / 4).Select(g => new String(g.Select(o => o.Char).ToArray())).ToList();

How to specify function types for void (not Void) methods in Java8?

Set return type to Void instead of void and return null

// Modify existing method
public static Void displayInt(Integer i) {
    System.out.println(i);
    return null;
}

// Or use Lambda
myForEach(theList, i -> {System.out.println(i);return null;});

How do you use String.substringWithRange? (or, how do Ranges work in Swift?)

try this in playground

var str:String = "Hello, playground"

let range = Range(start:advance(str.startIndex,1), end: advance(str.startIndex,8))

it will give you "ello, p"

However where this gets really interesting is that if you make the last index bigger than the string in playground it will show any strings that you defined after str :o

Range() appears to be a generic function so that it needs to know the type it is dealing with.

You also have to give it the actual string your interested in playgrounds as it seems to hold all stings in a sequence one after another with their variable name afterwards.

var str:String = "Hello, playground"

var str2:String = "I'm the next string"

let range = Range(start:advance(str.startIndex,1), end: advance(str.startIndex,49))

gives "ello, playground?str???I'm the next string?str2?"

works even if str2 is defined with a let

Python if not == vs if !=

Here you can see that not x == y has one more instruction than x != y. So the performance difference will be very small in most cases unless you are doing millions of comparisons and even then this will likely not be the cause of a bottleneck.

How to make an introduction page with Doxygen

Resize a picture to fit a JLabel

The best and easy way for image resize using Java Swing is:

jLabel.setIcon(new ImageIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/res/image.png")).getImage().getScaledInstance(200, 50, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));

For better display, identify the actual height & width of image and resize based on width/height percentage

How to create a floating action button (FAB) in android, using AppCompat v21?

Storing and Retrieving ArrayList values from hashmap

The modern way (as of 2020) to add entries to a multimap (a map of lists) in Java is:

map.computeIfAbsent("apple", k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(2);
map.computeIfAbsent("apple", k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(3);

According to Map.computeIfAbsent docs:

If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped to null), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map unless null.

Returns: the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key, or null if the computed value is null

The most idiomatic way to iterate a map of lists is using Map.forEach and Iterable.forEach:

map.forEach((k, l) -> l.forEach(v -> /* use k and v here */));

Or, as shown in other answers, a traditional for loop:

for (Map.Entry<String, List<Integer>> e : map.entrySet()) {
    String k = e.getKey();
    for (Integer v : e.getValue()) {
        /* use k and v here */
    }
}

How do I validate a date in this format (yyyy-mm-dd) using jquery?

You could also just use regular expressions to accomplish a slightly simpler job if this is enough for you (e.g. as seen in [1]).

They are build in into javascript so you can use them without any libraries.

function isValidDate(dateString) {
  var regEx = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/;
  return dateString.match(regEx) != null;
}

would be a function to check if the given string is four numbers - two numbers - two numbers (almost yyyy-mm-dd). But you can do even more with more complex expressions, e.g. check [2].

isValidDate("23-03-2012") // false
isValidDate("1987-12-24") // true
isValidDate("22-03-1981") // false
isValidDate("0000-00-00") // true

How to use componentWillMount() in React Hooks?

According to reactjs.org, componentWillMount will not be supported in the future. https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html#unsafe_componentwillmount

There is no need to use componentWillMount.

If you want to do something before the component mounted, just do it in the constructor().

If you want to do network requests, do not do it in componentWillMount. It is because doing this will lead to unexpected bugs.

Network requests can be done in componentDidMount.

Hope it helps.

updated on 08/03/2019

The reason why you ask for componentWillMount is probably because you want to initialize the state before renders.

Just do it in useState.

const helloWorld=()=>{
    const [value,setValue]=useState(0) //initialize your state here
    return <p>{value}</p>
}
export default helloWorld;

or maybe You want to run a function in componentWillMount, for example, if your original code looks like this:

componentWillMount(){
  console.log('componentWillMount')
}

with hook, all you need to do is to remove the lifecycle method:

const hookComponent=()=>{
    console.log('componentWillMount')
    return <p>you have transfered componeWillMount from class component into hook </p>
}

I just want to add something to the first answer about useEffect.

useEffect(()=>{})

useEffect runs on every render, it is a combination of componentDidUpdate, componentDidMount and ComponentWillUnmount.

 useEffect(()=>{},[])

If we add an empty array in useEffect it runs just when the component mounted. It is because useEffect will compare the array you passed to it. So it does not have to be an empty array.It can be array that is not changing. For example, it can be [1,2,3] or ['1,2']. useEffect still only runs when component mounted.

It depends on you whether you want it to run just once or runs after every render. It is not dangerous if you forgot to add an array as long as you know what you are doing.

I created a sample for hook. Please check it out.

It has been a while since I wrote the above answer. There is something that I think you need to pay attention to. When you use

useEffect(()=>{},[])

When react compares the values you passed to the array [], it uses Object.is() to compare. If you pass an object to it, such as

useEffect(()=>{},[{name:'Tom'}])

This is exactly the same as:

useEffect(()=>{})

It will re-render every time because when Object.is() compares an object, it compares its reference, not the value itself. It is the same as why {}==={} returns false because their references are different. If you still want to compare the object itself not the reference, you can do something like this:

useEffect(()=>{},[JSON.stringify({name:'Tom'})])

How to pass an array into a function, and return the results with an array

I always return multiple values by using a combination of list() and array()s:

function DecideStuffToReturn() {
    $IsValid = true;
    $AnswerToLife = 42;

    // Build the return array.
    return array($IsValid, $AnswerToLife);
}

// Part out the return array in to multiple variables.
list($IsValid, $AnswerToLife) = DecideStuffToReturn();

You can name them whatever you like. I chose to keep the function variables and the return variables the same for consistency but you can call them whatever you like.

See list() for more information.

In excel how do I reference the current row but a specific column?

If you dont want to hard-code the cell addresses you can use the ROW() function.

eg: =AVERAGE(INDIRECT("A" & ROW()), INDIRECT("C" & ROW()))

Its probably not the best way to do it though! Using Auto-Fill and static columns like @JaiGovindani suggests would be much better.

Use Excel pivot table as data source for another Pivot Table

As suggested you can change the pivot table content and paste as values. But if you want to change the values dynamically the easiest way I found is Go To Insert->create pivot table Now in the dialog box in the input data field select the cells of your previous pivot table.

Testing if a checkbox is checked with jQuery

I've came through a case recently where I've needed check value of checkbox when user clicked on button. The only proper way to do so is to use prop() attribute.

var ansValue = $("#ans").prop('checked') ? $("#ans").val() : 0;

this worked in my case maybe someone will need it.

When I've tried .attr(':checked') it returned checked but I wanted boolean value and .val() returned value of attribute value.

How to count the number of words in a sentence, ignoring numbers, punctuation and whitespace?

Ok here is my version of doing this. I noticed that you want your output to be 7, which means you dont want to count special characters and numbers. So here is regex pattern:

re.findall("[a-zA-Z_]+", string)

Where [a-zA-Z_] means it will match any character beetwen a-z (lowercase) and A-Z (upper case).

About spaces. If you want to remove all extra spaces, just do:

string = string.rstrip().lstrip() # Remove all extra spaces at the start and at the end of the string
while "  " in string: # While  there are 2 spaces beetwen words in our string...
    string = string.replace("  ", " ") # ... replace them by one space!

How to add a ScrollBar to a Stackpanel

If you mean, you want to scroll through multiple items in your stackpanel, try putting a grid around it. By definition, a stackpanel has infinite length.

So try something like this:

   <Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
        <StackPanel Width="311">
              <TextBlock Text="{Binding A}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" FontStretch="Condensed" FontSize="28" />
              <TextBlock Text="{Binding B}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>

You could even make this work with a ScrollViewer

Convert a row of a data frame to vector

When you extract a single row from a data frame you get a one-row data frame. Convert it to a numeric vector:

as.numeric(df[1,])

As @Roland suggests, unlist(df[1,]) will convert the one-row data frame to a numeric vector without dropping the names. Therefore unname(unlist(df[1,])) is another, slightly more explicit way to get to the same result.

As @Josh comments below, if you have a not-completely-numeric (alphabetic, factor, mixed ...) data frame, you need as.character(df[1,]) instead.

Python: Removing list element while iterating over list

To meet these criteria: modify original list in situ, no list copies, only one pass, works, a traditional solution is to iterate backwards:

for i in xrange(len(somelist) - 1, -1, -1):
    element = somelist[i]
    do_action(element)
    if check(element):
        del somelist[i]

Bonus: Doesn't do len(somelist) on each iteration. Works on any version of Python (at least as far back as 1.5.2) ... s/xrange/range/ for 3.X.

Update: If you want to iterate forwards, it's possible, just trickier and uglier:

i = 0
n = len(somelist)
while i < n:
    element = somelist[i]
    do_action(element)
    if check(element):
        del somelist[i]
        n = n - 1
    else:
        i = i + 1

                if !font.fontDescriptor.symbolicTraits.contains(.traitBold) {
                    break
                }
                range = text.string.range(of: substr, options: NSString.CompareOptions.literal, range: range!.upperBound..<text.string.endIndex, locale: nil)
            }
            if let r = range {
                boldRange(r)
            }
        }
    }
}

May be there is not good conversion between Range and NSRange, but I didn't found something better.

select2 - hiding the search box

I like to do this dynamically depending on the number of options in the select; to hide the search for selects with 10 or fewer results, I do:

$fewResults = $("select>option:nth-child(11)").closest("select");
$fewResults.select2();
$('select').not($fewResults).select2({ minimumResultsForSearch : -1 });

What is the Python equivalent of static variables inside a function?

Python doesn't have static variables but you can fake it by defining a callable class object and then using it as a function. Also see this answer.

class Foo(object):
  # Class variable, shared by all instances of this class
  counter = 0

  def __call__(self):
    Foo.counter += 1
    print Foo.counter

# Create an object instance of class "Foo," called "foo"
foo = Foo()

# Make calls to the "__call__" method, via the object's name itself
foo() #prints 1
foo() #prints 2
foo() #prints 3

Note that __call__ makes an instance of a class (object) callable by its own name. That's why calling foo() above calls the class' __call__ method. From the documentation:

Instances of arbitrary classes can be made callable by defining a __call__() method in their class.

What's the most efficient way to erase duplicates and sort a vector?

More understandable code from: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/unique

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>

int main() 
{
    // remove duplicate elements
    std::vector<int> v{1,2,3,1,2,3,3,4,5,4,5,6,7};
    std::sort(v.begin(), v.end()); // 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 7 
    auto last = std::unique(v.begin(), v.end());
    // v now holds {1 2 3 4 5 6 7 x x x x x x}, where 'x' is indeterminate
    v.erase(last, v.end()); 
    for (int i : v)
      std::cout << i << " ";
    std::cout << "\n";
}

ouput:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

VBA setting the formula for a cell

If you want to make address directly, the worksheet must exist.

Turning off automatic recalculation want help you :)

But... you can get value indirectly...

.FormulaR1C1 = "=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,7,1,0,""" & strProjectName & """),FALSE)"

At the time formula is inserted it will return #REF error, because strProjectName sheet does not exist.

But after this worksheet appear Excel will calculate formula again and proper value will be shown.
Disadvantage: there will be no tracking, so if you move the cell or change worksheet name, the formula will not adjust to the changes as in the direct addressing.

Determining whether an object is a member of a collection in VBA

You can shorten the suggested code for this as well as generalize for unexpected errors. Here you go:

Public Function InCollection(col As Collection, key As String) As Boolean

  On Error GoTo incol
  col.Item key

incol:
  InCollection = (Err.Number = 0)

End Function

Vue v-on:click does not work on component

I think the $emit function works better for what I think you're asking for. It keeps your component separated from the Vue instance so that it is reusable in many contexts.

// Child component
<template>
  <div id="app">
    <test @click="$emit('test-click')"></test>
  </div>
</template>

Use it in HTML

// Parent component
<test @test-click="testFunction">

Angular 2 filter/search list

HTML

<input [(ngModel)] = "searchTerm" (ngModelChange) = "search()"/>
<div *ngFor = "let item of items">{{item.name}}</div>

Component

search(): void {
    let term = this.searchTerm;
    this.items = this.itemsCopy.filter(function(tag) {
        return tag.name.indexOf(term) >= 0;
    }); 
}

Note that this.itemsCopy is equal to this.items and should be set before doing the search.

Check if current directory is a Git repository

Why not using exit codes? If a git repository exists in the current directory, then git branch and git tag commands return exit code of 0; otherwise, a non-zero exit code will be returned. This way, you can determine if a git repository exist or not. Simply, you can run:

git tag > /dev/null 2>&1 && [ $? -eq 0 ]

Advantage: Flexibe. It works for both bare and non-bare repositories, and in sh, zsh and bash.

Explanation

git tag: Getting tags of the repository to determine if exists or not.
> /dev/null 2>&1: Preventing from printing anything, including normal and error outputs.
[ $? -eq 0 ]: Check if the previous command returned with exit code 0 or not. As you may know, every non-zero exit means something bad happened. $? gets the exit code of the previous command, and [, -eq and ] perform the comparison.

As an example, you can create a file named check-git-repo with the following contents, make it executable and run it:

#!/bin/sh

if git tag > /dev/null 2>&1 && [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Repository exists!";
else
    echo "No repository here.";
fi

Should init() call the parent class's init()?

Edit: (after the code change)
There is no way for us to tell you whether you need or not to call your parent's __init__ (or any other function). Inheritance obviously would work without such call. It all depends on the logic of your code: for example, if all your __init__ is done in parent class, you can just skip child-class __init__ altogether.

consider the following example:

>>> class A:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.a = val


>>> class B(A):
    pass

>>> class C(A):
    def __init__(self, val):
        A.__init__(self, val)
        self.a += val


>>> A(4).a
4
>>> B(5).a
5
>>> C(6).a
12

Open new Terminal Tab from command line (Mac OS X)

With X installed (e.g. from homebrew, or Quartz), a simple "xterm &" does (nearly) the trick, it opens a new terminal window (not a tab, though).

How can I format date by locale in Java?

Take a look at java.text.DateFormat. Easier to use (with a bit less power) is the derived class, java.text.SimpleDateFormat

And here is a good intro to Java internationalization: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html (the "Formatting" section addressing your problem, and more).

How to validate phone numbers using regex

I found this to work quite well:

^\(*\+*[1-9]{0,3}\)*-*[1-9]{0,3}[-. /]*\(*[2-9]\d{2}\)*[-. /]*\d{3}[-. /]*\d{4} *e*x*t*\.* *\d{0,4}$

It works for these number formats:

1-234-567-8901
1-234-567-8901 x1234
1-234-567-8901 ext1234
1 (234) 567-8901
1.234.567.8901
1/234/567/8901
12345678901
1-234-567-8901 ext. 1234
(+351) 282 433 5050

Make sure to use global AND multiline flags to make sure.

pandas convert some columns into rows

I guess I found a simpler solution

temp1 = pd.melt(df1, id_vars=["location"], var_name='Date', value_name='Value')
temp2 = pd.melt(df1, id_vars=["name"], var_name='Date', value_name='Value')

Concat whole temp1 with temp2's column name

temp1['new_column'] = temp2['name']

You now have what you asked for.

System.Net.Http: missing from namespace? (using .net 4.5)

Making the "Copy Local" property True for the reference did it for me. Expand References, right-click on System.Net.Http and change the value of Copy Local property to True in the properties window. I'm using VS2019.

Put content in HttpResponseMessage object?

Apparently the new way to do it is detailed here:

http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/discussions/350492

To quote Henrik,

HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();

response.Content = new ObjectContent<T>(T, myFormatter, "application/some-format");

So basically, one has to create a ObjectContent type, which apparently can be returned as an HttpContent object.

How to install pandas from pip on windows cmd?

pip install pandas make sure, this is 'pandas' not 'panda'

If you are not able to access pip, then got to C:\Python37\Scripts and run pip.exe install pandas.

Alternatively, you can add C:\Python37\Scripts in the env variables for windows machines. Hope this helps.

Integer to IP Address - C

Hint: break up the 32-bit integer to 4 8-bit integers, and print them out.

Something along the lines of this (not compiled, YMMV):

int i = 0xDEADBEEF; // some 32-bit integer
printf("%i.%i.%i.%i",
          (i >> 24) & 0xFF,
          (i >> 16) & 0xFF,
          (i >> 8) & 0xFF,
          i & 0xFF);

jQuery's .click - pass parameters to user function

I had success using .on() like so:

$('.leadtoscore').on('click', {event_type: 'shot'}, add_event);

Then inside the add_event function you get access to 'shot' like this:

event.data.event_type

See the .on() documentation for more info, where they provide the following example:

function myHandler( event ) {
  alert( event.data.foo );
}
$( "p" ).on( "click", { foo: "bar" }, myHandler );

How do I calculate a point on a circle’s circumference?

        float x = (float)(radius * Math.Cos(angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180F)) + origin.X;
        float y = (float)(radius * Math.Sin(angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180F)) + origin.Y;

        return new PointF(x, y);

creating batch script to unzip a file without additional zip tools

Try this:

@echo off

Call :UnZipFile "C:\Temp\" "c:\path\to\batch.zip"
exit /b

:UnZipFile <ExtractTo> <newzipfile>
set vbs="%temp%\_.vbs"
if exist %vbs% del /f /q %vbs%
>%vbs%  echo Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
>>%vbs% echo If NOT fso.FolderExists(%1) Then
>>%vbs% echo fso.CreateFolder(%1)
>>%vbs% echo End If
>>%vbs% echo set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
>>%vbs% echo set FilesInZip=objShell.NameSpace(%2).items
>>%vbs% echo objShell.NameSpace(%1).CopyHere(FilesInZip)
>>%vbs% echo Set fso = Nothing
>>%vbs% echo Set objShell = Nothing
cscript //nologo %vbs%
if exist %vbs% del /f /q %vbs%

Revision

To have it perform the unzip on each zip file creating a folder for each use:

@echo off
setlocal
cd /d %~dp0
for %%a in (*.zip) do (
    Call :UnZipFile "C:\Temp\%%~na\" "c:\path\to\%%~nxa"
)
exit /b

If you don't want it to create a folder for each zip, change Call :UnZipFile "C:\Temp\%%~na\" "c:\path\to\%%~nxa" to Call :UnZipFile "C:\Temp\" "c:\path\to\%%~nxa"

size of NumPy array

Yes numpy has a size function, and shape and size are not quite the same.

Input

import numpy as np
data = [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8]]
arrData = np.array(data)

print(data)
print(arrData.size)
print(arrData.shape)

Output

[[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8]]

8 # size

(2, 4) # shape

Regex: match everything but specific pattern

Not a regexp expert, but I think you could use a negative lookahead from the start, e.g. ^(?!foo).*$ shouldn't match anything starting with foo.

String formatting in Python 3

I like this approach

my_hash = {}
my_hash["goals"] = 3 #to show number
my_hash["penalties"] = "5" #to show string
print("I scored %(goals)d goals and took %(penalties)s penalties" % my_hash)

Note the appended d and s to the brackets respectively.

output will be:

I scored 3 goals and took 5 penalties

What does elementFormDefault do in XSD?

elementFormDefault="qualified" is used to control the usage of namespaces in XML instance documents (.xml file), rather than namespaces in the schema document itself (.xsd file).

By specifying elementFormDefault="qualified" we enforce namespace declaration to be used in documents validated with this schema.

It is common practice to specify this value to declare that the elements should be qualified rather than unqualified. However, since attributeFormDefault="unqualified" is the default value, it doesn't need to be specified in the schema document, if one does not want to qualify the namespaces.

Does hosts file exist on the iPhone? How to change it?

Not programming related, but I'll answer anyway. It's in /etc/hosts.

You can change it with a simple text editor such as nano.

(Obviously you would need a jailbroken iphone for this)

How to automatically start a service when running a docker container?

I add the following code to /root/.bashrc to run the code only once,

if [ ! -e /var/run/docker_services ]; then
    echo "Starting services"
    service mysql start
    service ssh start
    service nginx start
    touch /var/run/docker_services

How to subtract X days from a date using Java calendar?

I believe a clean and nice way to perform subtraction or addition of any time unit (months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, ...) can be achieved using the java.time.Instant class.

Example for subtracting 5 days from the current time and getting the result as Date:

new Date(Instant.now().minus(5, ChronoUnit.DAYS).toEpochMilli());

Another example for subtracting 1 hour and adding 15 minutes:

Date.from(Instant.now().minus(Duration.ofHours(1)).plus(Duration.ofMinutes(15)));

If you need more accuracy, Instance measures up to nanoseconds. Methods manipulating nanosecond part:

minusNano()
plusNano()
getNano()

Also, keep in mind, that Date is not as accurate as Instant.

What does "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]" mean in Android Studio?

Make sure you don't have a minSdkVersion set in your build.gradle with a value higher than 8. If you don't specify it at all, it's supposed to use the value in your AndroidManfiest.xml, which seems to already be properly set.

Python unicode equal comparison failed

You may use the == operator to compare unicode objects for equality.

>>> s1 = u'Hello'
>>> s2 = unicode("Hello")
>>> type(s1), type(s2)
(<type 'unicode'>, <type 'unicode'>)
>>> s1==s2
True
>>> 
>>> s3='Hello'.decode('utf-8')
>>> type(s3)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> s1==s3
True
>>>

But, your error message indicates that you aren't comparing unicode objects. You are probably comparing a unicode object to a str object, like so:

>>> u'Hello' == 'Hello'
True
>>> u'Hello' == '\x81\x01'
__main__:1: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
False

See how I have attempted to compare a unicode object against a string which does not represent a valid UTF8 encoding.

Your program, I suppose, is comparing unicode objects with str objects, and the contents of a str object is not a valid UTF8 encoding. This seems likely the result of you (the programmer) not knowing which variable holds unicide, which variable holds UTF8 and which variable holds the bytes read in from a file.

I recommend http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html, especially the advice to create a "Unicode Sandwich."

Java HttpRequest JSON & Response Handling

The simplest way is using libraries like google-http-java-client but if you want parse the JSON response by yourself you can do that in a multiple ways, you can use org.json, json-simple, Gson, minimal-json, jackson-mapper-asl (from 1.x)... etc

A set of simple examples:

Using Gson:

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;

public class Gson {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    }

    public HttpResponse http(String url, String body) {

        try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build()) {
            HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
            StringEntity params = new StringEntity(body);
            request.addHeader("content-type", "application/json");
            request.setEntity(params);
            HttpResponse result = httpClient.execute(request);
            String json = EntityUtils.toString(result.getEntity(), "UTF-8");

            com.google.gson.Gson gson = new com.google.gson.Gson();
            Response respuesta = gson.fromJson(json, Response.class);

            System.out.println(respuesta.getExample());
            System.out.println(respuesta.getFr());

        } catch (IOException ex) {
        }
        return null;
    }

    public class Response{

        private String example;
        private String fr;

        public String getExample() {
            return example;
        }
        public void setExample(String example) {
            this.example = example;
        }
        public String getFr() {
            return fr;
        }
        public void setFr(String fr) {
            this.fr = fr;
        }
    }
}

Using json-simple:

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;

public class JsonSimple {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

    public HttpResponse http(String url, String body) {

        try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build()) {
            HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
            StringEntity params = new StringEntity(body);
            request.addHeader("content-type", "application/json");
            request.setEntity(params);
            HttpResponse result = httpClient.execute(request);

            String json = EntityUtils.toString(result.getEntity(), "UTF-8");
            try {
                JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
                Object resultObject = parser.parse(json);

                if (resultObject instanceof JSONArray) {
                    JSONArray array=(JSONArray)resultObject;
                    for (Object object : array) {
                        JSONObject obj =(JSONObject)object;
                        System.out.println(obj.get("example"));
                        System.out.println(obj.get("fr"));
                    }

                }else if (resultObject instanceof JSONObject) {
                    JSONObject obj =(JSONObject)resultObject;
                    System.out.println(obj.get("example"));
                    System.out.println(obj.get("fr"));
                }

            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO: handle exception
            }

        } catch (IOException ex) {
        }
        return null;
    }
}

etc...

Application Crashes With "Internal Error In The .NET Runtime"

Had the same exact error on WinXP box with latest build of my .NET 4 code. Checked previous builds - now they crash too! Ok, so it's not me :). No suggestions here/above helped.

Much more recent (2018-05-09) report of the same problem: Application Crash with exit code 80131506.

A: We were receiving a similar error, but we believe ours was caused by the Citrix memory optimizer.
The resolution was to force a regeneration of the .Net core libraries on the host(s) where the issue was occurring:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe update /force

Root cause is still unknown (machine is not being updated and has little use), but that did it for me!

Concatenate text files with Windows command line, dropping leading lines

Use the FOR command to echo a file line by line, and with the 'skip' option to miss a number of starting lines...

FOR /F "skip=1" %i in (file2.txt) do @echo %i

You could redirect the output of a batch file, containing something like...

FOR /F %%i in (file1.txt) do @echo %%i
FOR /F "skip=1" %%i in (file2.txt) do @echo %%i

Note the double % when a FOR variable is used within a batch file.

        <param-name>chatpropertyfile</param-name>
        <!--  Name of the chat properties file. It contains the name and description                   of rooms.-->     
        <param-value>chat.properties</param-value>
    </context-param>

And chat.properties you can declare your properties like this

For Ex :

Jsp = Discussion about JSP can be made here.
Java = Talk about java and related technologies like J2EE.
ASP = Discuss about Active Server Pages related technologies like VBScript and JScript etc.
Web_Designing = Any discussion related to HTML, JavaScript, DHTML etc.
StartUp = Startup chat room. Chatter is added to this after he logs in.

Get URL of ASP.Net Page in code-behind

I use this in my code in a custom class. Comes in handy for sending out emails like [email protected] "no-reply@" + BaseSiteUrl Works fine on any site.

// get a sites base urll ex: example.com
public static string BaseSiteUrl
{
    get
    {
        HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
        string baseUrl = context.Request.Url.Authority + context.Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/');
        return baseUrl;
    }

}

If you want to use it in codebehind get rid of context.

How do I find out my root MySQL password?

I'm going to make a bit of an assumption here because I'm not sure. I don't think my MySQL (running on latest 20.04 upgraded) even has a root. I have tried setting one and I remember having problems. I suspect there is not a root user and it will automatically log you in as the MySQL root user if you're logged in as root.

Why do I think this? Because when I do MySQL -u root -p, it will accept any password and log me in as the MySQL root user when I am logged in as root.

I have confirmed that trying that on a non root user doesn't work.

I like this model.

EDIT 2020.12.19: It is no longer a mystery to me why if you are logged in as the root user you get logged into MySQL as the root user. It has to do with the authentication type. Later versions of MySQL are configured with the MySQL plugin 'auth_socket' (maybe you've noticed the /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock file on your system and wondered about it). The plugin uses the SO_PEERCRED option provided by the library auth_socket.so.

You can revert back to password authentication if desired simply by create/update of the password. Showing both ways and options below to make clear.

CREATE USER 'valerie'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
CREATE USER 'valerie'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Test credit card numbers for use with PayPal sandbox

A bit late in the game but just in case it helps anyone.

If you are testing using the Sandbox and on the payment page you want to test payments NOT using a PayPal account but using the "Pay with Debit or Credit Card option" (i.e. when a regular Joe/Jane, NOT PayPal users, want to buy your stuff) and want to save yourself some time: just go to a site like http://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com/ and get numbers from there. You can use any Expiry date (in the future) and any numeric CCV (123 works).

The "test credit card numbers" in the PayPal documentation are just another brick in their infuriating wall of convoluted stuff.

I got the url above from PayPal's tech support.

Tested using a simple Hosted button and IPN. Good luck.

AFNetworking Post Request

Here an example with Swift 3.0

let manager = AFHTTPSessionManager(sessionConfiguration: URLSessionConfiguration.default)
manager.requestSerializer = AFJSONRequestSerializer()
manager.requestSerializer.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
manager.requestSerializer.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")

if authenticated {
    if let user = UserDAO.currentUser() {
        manager.requestSerializer.setValue("Authorization", forHTTPHeaderField: user.headerForAuthentication())
    }
}

manager.post(url, parameters: parameters, progress: nil, success: { (task: URLSessionDataTask, responseObject: Any?) in 
    if var jsonResponse = responseObject as? [String: AnyObject] {
        // here read response
    }
}) { (task: URLSessionDataTask?, error: Error) in
    print("POST fails with error \(error)")
}

Why so red? IntelliJ seems to think every declaration/method cannot be found/resolved

I had the same problem and after trying all of the above suggestions, it turned out that my IntelliJ installation had not picked up my JAVA_HOME system variable, and it had no SDK/JDK set.

I fixed it by following these instructions: Configuring Global, Project and Module SDKs

What's the best way to do a backwards loop in C/C#/C++?

Looks good to me. If the indexer was unsigned (uint etc), you might have to take that into account. Call me lazy, but in that (unsigned) case, I might just use a counter-variable:

uint pos = arr.Length;
for(uint i = 0; i < arr.Length ; i++)
{
    arr[--pos] = 42;
}

(actually, even here you'd need to be careful of cases like arr.Length = uint.MaxValue... maybe a != somewhere... of course, that is a very unlikely case!)

How to shut down the computer from C#

**Elaborated Answer...

What is an alternative to execfile in Python 3?

If the script you want to load is in the same directory than the one you run, maybe "import" will do the job ?

If you need to dynamically import code the built-in function __ import__ and the module imp are worth looking at.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path = ['/path/to/script'] + sys.path
>>> __import__('test')
<module 'test' from '/path/to/script/test.pyc'>
>>> __import__('test').run()
'Hello world!'

test.py:

def run():
        return "Hello world!"

If you're using Python 3.1 or later, you should also take a look at importlib.

CSS list item width/height does not work

Using width/height on inline elements is not always a good idea. You can use display: inline-block instead

JSON Parse File Path

Loading local JSON file

Use something like this

$.getJSON("../../data/file.json", function(json) {
    console.log(json); // this will show the info in firebug console 
    alert(json);
});

How do I pass a command line argument while starting up GDB in Linux?

Try

Calling a JavaScript function returned from an Ajax response

This does not sound like a good idea.

You should abstract out the function to include in the rest of your JavaScript code from the data returned by Ajax methods.

For what it's worth, though, (and I don't understand why you're inserting a script block in a div?) even inline script methods written in a script block will be accessible.

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

This is usually caused by your CSV having been saved along with an (unnamed) index (RangeIndex).

(The fix would actually need to be done when saving the DataFrame, but this isn't always an option.)

Workaround: `read_csv` with `index_col=[0]` argument

IMO, the simplest solution would be to read the unnamed column as the index. Specify an index_col=[0] argument to pd.read_csv, this reads in the first column as the index. (Note the square brackets).

df = pd.DataFrame('x', index=range(5), columns=list('abc'))
df

   a  b  c
0  x  x  x
1  x  x  x
2  x  x  x
3  x  x  x
4  x  x  x

# Save DataFrame to CSV.
df.to_csv('file.csv')

<!- ->

pd.read_csv('file.csv')

   Unnamed: 0  a  b  c
0           0  x  x  x
1           1  x  x  x
2           2  x  x  x
3           3  x  x  x
4           4  x  x  x

# Now try this again, with the extra argument.
pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=[0])

   a  b  c
0  x  x  x
1  x  x  x
2  x  x  x
3  x  x  x
4  x  x  x

Note
You could have avoided this in the first place by using index=False if the output CSV was created in pandas, if your DataFrame does not have an index to begin with:
df.to_csv('file.csv', index=False)
But as mentioned above, this isn't always an option.

Stopgap Solution: Filtering with `str.match`

If you cannot modify the code to read/write the CSV file, you can just remove the column by filtering with str.match:

df 

   Unnamed: 0  a  b  c
0           0  x  x  x
1           1  x  x  x
2           2  x  x  x
3           3  x  x  x
4           4  x  x  x

df.columns
# Index(['Unnamed: 0', 'a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='object')

df.columns.str.match('Unnamed')
# array([ True, False, False, False])

df.loc[:, ~df.columns.str.match('Unnamed')]
 
   a  b  c
0  x  x  x
1  x  x  x
2  x  x  x
3  x  x  x
4  x  x  x

How can I create Min stl priority_queue?

The third template parameter for priority_queue is the comparator. Set it to use greater.

e.g.

std::priority_queue<int, std::vector<int>, std::greater<int> > max_queue;

You'll need #include <functional> for std::greater.

difference between @size(max = value ) and @min(value) @max(value)

@Min and @Max are used for validating numeric fields which could be String(representing number), int, short, byte etc and their respective primitive wrappers.

@Size is used to check the length constraints on the fields.

As per documentation @Size supports String, Collection, Map and arrays while @Min and @Max supports primitives and their wrappers. See the documentation.

Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime

Best way is use DateTime object to convert your date.

$myDateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $weddingdate);
$formattedweddingdate = $myDateTime->format('d-m-Y');

Note: It will support for PHP 5 >= 5.3.0 only.

How to word wrap text in HTML?

how to use #ifdef with an OR condition?

OR condition in #ifdef

#if defined LINUX || defined ANDROID
// your code here
#endif /* LINUX || ANDROID */

or-

#if defined(LINUX) || defined(ANDROID)
// your code here
#endif /* LINUX || ANDROID */

Both above are the same, which one you use simply depends on your taste.

P.S.: #ifdef is simply the short form of #if defined, however, does not support complex condition.

Further-

AND: #if defined LINUX && defined ANDROID
XOR: #if defined LINUX ^ defined ANDROID

How to fix error "Updating Maven Project". Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind=4?

Upgrading from Kepler to Luna worked for me.

I had just added some components for Java 1.8 support. It seems that they where not as compatible as I would like or that I mixed the wrong ones. It really caused a lot of problems. Trying to update the system reported errors as they couldn't fulfill some dependencies. Maven upgrades didn't work. Tried a lot of things.

So, if there is no reason to avoid the upgrade just add the luna repository to avalilable software sites (Luna http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/ ) and "check for updates". It is better to have all the components with the same version and there are some nice new features.

MIPS: Integer Multiplication and Division

To multiply, use mult for signed multiplication and multu for unsigned multiplication. Note that the result of the multiplication of two 32-bit numbers yields a 64-number. If you want the result back in $v0 that means that you assume the result will fit in 32 bits.

The 32 most significant bits will be held in the HI special register (accessible by mfhi instruction) and the 32 least significant bits will be held in the LO special register (accessible by the mflo instruction):

E.g.:

li $a0, 5
li $a1, 3
mult $a0, $a1
mfhi $a2 # 32 most significant bits of multiplication to $a2
mflo $v0 # 32 least significant bits of multiplication to $v0

To divide, use div for signed division and divu for unsigned division. In this case, the HI special register will hold the remainder and the LO special register will hold the quotient of the division.

E.g.:

div $a0, $a1
mfhi $a2 # remainder to $a2
mflo $v0 # quotient to $v0

How do I install Java on Mac OSX allowing version switching?

This is how I did it.

How to insert data into elasticsearch

I started off using curl, but since have migrated to use kibana. Here is some more information on the ELK stack from elastic.co (E elastic search, K kibana): https://www.elastic.co/elk-stack

With kibana your POST requests are a bit more simple:

POST /<INDEX_NAME>/<TYPE_NAME>
{
    "field": "value",
    "id": 1,
    "account_id": 213,
    "name": "kimchy"
}

batch script - read line by line

This has worked for me in the past and it will even expand environment variables in the file if it can.

for /F "delims=" %%a in (LogName.txt) do (
     echo %%a>>MyDestination.txt
)

How to extract img src, title and alt from html using php?

You may use simplehtmldom. Most of the jQuery selectors are supported in simplehtmldom. An example is given below

// Create DOM from URL or file
$html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// Find all images
foreach($html->find('img') as $element)
       echo $element->src . '<br>';

// Find all links
foreach($html->find('a') as $element)
       echo $element->href . '<br>';

How do I use the Simple HTTP client in Android?

You can use this code:

int count;

                int lenghtOfFile = conection.getContentLength();
                // Create a Input stream to read file - with 8k buffer
                InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(),

php return 500 error but no error log

In the past, I had no error logs in two cases:

The user under which Apache was running had no permissions to modify php_error_log file.
Error 500 occurred because of bad configuration of .htaccess, for example wrong rewrite module settings. In this situation errors are logged to Apache error_log file.

What is an NP-complete in computer science?

Honestly, Wikipedia might be the best place to look for an answer to this.

If NP = P, then we can solve very hard problems much faster than we thought we could before. If we solve only one NP-Complete problem in P (polynomial) time, then it can be applied to all other problems in the NP-Complete category.

How to do if-else in Thymeleaf?

How do you update a DateTime field in T-SQL?

The string literal is pased according to the current dateformat setting, see SET DATEFORMAT. One format which will always work is the '20090525' one.

Now, of course, you need to define 'does not work'. No records gets updated? Perhaps the Id=1 doesn't match any record...

If it says 'One record changed' then perhaps you need to show us how you verify...

Calculating how many minutes there are between two times

In your quesion code you are using TimeSpan.FromMinutes incorrectly. Please see the MSDN Documentation for TimeSpan.FromMinutes, which gives the following method signature:

public static TimeSpan FromMinutes(double value)

hence, the following code won't compile

var intMinutes = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(varTime); // won't compile

Instead, you can use the TimeSpan.TotalMinutes property to perform this arithmetic. For instance:

TimeSpan varTime = (DateTime)varFinish - (DateTime)varValue; 
double fractionalMinutes = varTime.TotalMinutes;
int wholeMinutes = (int)fractionalMinutes;

Clone contents of a GitHub repository (without the folder itself)

You can specify the destination directory as second parameter of the git clone command, so you can do:

git clone <remote> .

This will clone the repository directly in the current local directory.

Javascript callback when IFRAME is finished loading?

I wanted to hide the waiting spinner div when the i frame content is fully loaded on IE, i tried literally every solution mentioned in Stackoverflow.Com, but with nothing worked as i wanted.

Then i had an idea, that when the i frame content is fully loaded, the $(Window ) load event might be fired. And that exactly what happened. So, i wrote this small script, and worked like magic:

     $(window).load(function () {
     //alert("Done window ready ");
     var lblWait = document.getElementById("lblWait");
     if (lblWait != null ) {
         lblWait.style.visibility = "false";
         document.getElementById("divWait").style.display = "none";
     }
 });

Hope this helps.

How to install a plugin in Jenkins manually

How do I convert a IPython Notebook into a Python file via commandline?

Here is a quick and dirty way to extract the code from V3 or V4 ipynb without using ipython. It does not check cell types, etc.

import sys,json

f = open(sys.argv[1], 'r') #input.ipynb
j = json.load(f)
of = open(sys.argv[2], 'w') #output.py
if j["nbformat"] >=4:
        for i,cell in enumerate(j["cells"]):
                of.write("#cell "+str(i)+"\n")
                for line in cell["source"]:
                        of.write(line)
                of.write('\n\n')
else:

Casting a number to a string in TypeScript

Just utilize toString or toLocaleString I'd say. So:

var page_number:number = 3;
window.location.hash = page_number.toLocaleString();

These throw an error if page_number is null or undefined. If you don't want that you can choose the fix appropriate for your situation:

// Fix 1:
window.location.hash = (page_number || 1).toLocaleString();

// Fix 2a:
window.location.hash = !page_number ? "1" page_number.toLocaleString();

// Fix 2b (allows page_number to be zero):
window.location.hash = (page_number !== 0 && !page_number) ? "1" page_number.toLocaleString();

Output data from all columns in a dataframe in pandas

There is too much data to be displayed on the screen, therefore a summary is displayed instead.

If you want to output the data anyway (it won't probably fit on a screen and does not look very well):

print paramdata.values

converts the dataframe to its numpy-array matrix representation.

paramdata.columns

stores the respective column names and

paramdata.index

stores the respective index (row names).

Changes in import statement python3

Relative import happens whenever you are importing a package relative to the current script/package.

Consider the following tree for example:

mypkg
+-- base.py
+-- derived.py

Now, your derived.py requires something from base.py. In Python 2, you could do it like this (in derived.py):

from base import BaseThing

Python 3 no longer supports that since it's not explicit whether you want the 'relative' or 'absolute' base. In other words, if there was a Python package named base installed in the system, you'd get the wrong one.

Instead it requires you to use explicit imports which explicitly specify location of a module on a path-alike basis. Your derived.py would look like:

from .base import BaseThing

The leading . says 'import base from module directory'; in other words, .base maps to ./base.py.

Similarly, there is .. prefix which goes up the directory hierarchy like ../ (with ..mod mapping to ../mod.py), and then ... which goes two levels up (../../mod.py) and so on.

Please however note that the relative paths listed above were relative to directory where current module (derived.py) resides in, not the current working directory.

@BrenBarn has already explained the star import case. For completeness, I will have to say the same ;).

For example, you need to use a few math functions but you use them only in a single function. In Python 2 you were permitted to be semi-lazy:

def sin_degrees(x):
    from math import *
    return sin(degrees(x))

Note that it already triggers a warning in Python 2:

a.py:1: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
  def sin_degrees(x):

In modern Python 2 code you should and in Python 3 you have to do either:

def sin_degrees(x):
    from math import sin, degrees
    return sin(degrees(x))

or:

from math import *

def sin_degrees(x):
    return sin(degrees(x))

Why do people hate SQL cursors so much?

There's an answer above which says "cursors are the SLOWEST way to access data inside SQL Server... cursors are over thirty times slower than set based alternatives."

This statement may be true under many circumstances, but as a blanket statement it's problematic. For example, I've made good use of cursors in situations where I want to perform an update or delete operation affecting many rows of a large table which is receiving constant production reads. Running a stored procedure which does these updates one row at a time ends up being faster than set-based operations, because the set-based operation conflicts with the read operation and ends up causing horrific locking problems (and may kill the production system entirely, in extreme cases).

In the absence of other database activity, set-based operations are universally faster. In production systems, it depends.

Force table column widths to always be fixed regardless of contents

Specify the width of the table:

table
{
    table-layout: fixed;
    width: 100px;
}

See jsFiddle

return query based on date

You can also try:

{
    "dateProp": { $gt: new Date('06/15/2016').getTime() }
}

Using a SELECT statement within a WHERE clause

In your case scenario, Why not use GROUP BY and HAVING clause instead of JOINING table to itself. You may also use other useful function. see this link

SpringMVC RequestMapping for GET parameters

Use @RequestParam in your method arguments so Spring can bind them, also use the @RequestMapping.params array to narrow the method that will be used by spring. Sample code:

@RequestMapping("/userGrid", 
params = {"_search", "nd", "rows", "page", "sidx", "sort"})
public @ResponseBody GridModel getUsersForGrid(
@RequestParam(value = "_search") String search, 
@RequestParam(value = "nd") int nd, 
@RequestParam(value = "rows") int rows, 
@RequestParam(value = "page") int page, 
@RequestParam(value = "sidx") int sidx, 
@RequestParam(value = "sort") Sort sort) {
// Stuff here
}

This way Spring will only execute this method if ALL PARAMETERS are present saving you from null checking and related stuff.

Bootstrap 3 dropdown select

You can also add 'active' class to the selected item.

$('.dropdown').on( 'click', '.dropdown-menu li a', function() { 
   var target = $(this).html();

   //Adds active class to selected item
   $(this).parents('.dropdown-menu').find('li').removeClass('active');
   $(this).parent('li').addClass('active');

   //Displays selected text on dropdown-toggle button
   $(this).parents('.dropdown').find('.dropdown-toggle').html(target + ' <span class="caret"></span>');
});

See the jsfiddle example

Add a properties file to IntelliJ's classpath

I spent quite a lot of time figuring out how to do this in Intellij 13x. I apparently never added the properties files to the artifacts that required them, which is a separate step in Intellij. The setup below also works when you have a properties file that is shared by multiple modules.

Go to your project setup (CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + S)
In the list, select the module that you want to add one or more properties files to.
On the right, select the Dependencies tab.
Click the green plus and select "Jars or directories".
Now select the folder that contains the property file(s). (I haven't tried including an individual file)
Intellij will now ask you what the "category" of the selected file is. Choose "classes" (even though they are not).
Now you must add the properties files to the artifact. Intellij will give you the shortcut shown below. It will show errors in the red part at the bottom and a 'red lightbulb' that when clicked shows you an option to add the files to the artifact. You can also go to the 'artifacts' section and add the files to the artifacts manually.
