Programs & Examples On #Update site

Eclipse Software Sites (aka "update sites" aka "p2 repositories") are the storage format for delivering updates and new features to Eclipse-based applications.

CSS show div background image on top of other contained elements

How about making the <div id="mainWrapperDivWithBGImage"> as three divs, where the two outside divs hold the rounded corners images, and the middle div simply has a background-color to match the rounded corner images. Then you could simply place the other elements inside the middle div, or:

#outside_left{width:10px; float:left;}
#outside_right{width:10px; float:right;}
#middle{background-color:#color of rnd_crnrs_foo.gif; float:left;}

Then

HTML:

<div id="mainWrapperDivWithBGImage">
  <div id="outside_left><img src="rnd_crnrs_left.gif" /></div>
  <div id="middle">
    <div id="another_div"><img src="foo.gif" /></div>
  <div id="outside_right><img src="rnd_crnrs_right.gif" /></div>
</div>

You may have to do position:relative; and such.

200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 425 Failed to establish connection

What worked for me was just typing the command passive and ftp went into passive mode from active mode.

Java Compare Two List's object values?

It's not the most efficient solution but the most terse code would be:

boolean equalLists = listA.size() == listB.size() && listA.containsAll(listB);

Update:

@WesleyPorter is right. The solution above will not work if duplicate objects are in the collection.
For a complete solution you need to iterate over a collection so duplicate objects are handled correctly.

private static boolean cmp( List<?> l1, List<?> l2 ) {
    // make a copy of the list so the original list is not changed, and remove() is supported
    ArrayList<?> cp = new ArrayList<>( l1 );
    for ( Object o : l2 ) {
        if ( !cp.remove( o ) ) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return cp.isEmpty();
}

Update 28-Oct-2014:

@RoeeGavriel is right. The return statement needs to be conditional. The code above is updated.

How do I set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY for specific repos only?

On Linux, if you call this inside the git repository folder:

git config http.sslVerify false

this will add sslVerify = false in the [http] section of the config file in the .git folder, which can also be the solution, if you want to add this manually with nano .git/config:

...
[http]
  sslVerify = false

How to make a great R reproducible example

Here is a good guide.

The most important point is: Just make sure that you make a small piece of code that we can run to see what the problem is. A useful function for this is dput(), but if you have very large data, you might want to make a small sample dataset or only use the first 10 lines or so.

EDIT:

Also make sure that you identified where the problem is yourself. The example should not be an entire R script with "On line 200 there is an error". If you use the debugging tools in R (I love browser()) and Google you should be able to really identify where the problem is and reproduce a trivial example in which the same thing goes wrong.

Join two data frames, select all columns from one and some columns from the other

Not sure if the most efficient way, but this worked for me:

from pyspark.sql.functions import col

df1.alias('a').join(df2.alias('b'),col('b.id') == col('a.id')).select([col('a.'+xx) for xx in a.columns] + [col('b.other1'),col('b.other2')])

The trick is in:

[col('a.'+xx) for xx in a.columns] : all columns in a

[col('b.other1'),col('b.other2')] : some columns of b

Spring Boot Java Config Set Session Timeout

server.session.timeout in the application.properties file is now deprecated. The correct setting is:

server.servlet.session.timeout=60s

Also note that Tomcat will not allow you to set the timeout any less than 60 seconds. For details about that minimum setting see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/7383.

How to use range-based for() loop with std::map?

If you only want to see the keys/values from your map and like using boost, you can use the boost adaptors with the range based loops:

for (const auto& value : myMap | boost::adaptors::map_values)
{
    std::cout << value << std::endl;
}

there is an equivalent boost::adaptors::key_values

How can I delete a file from a Git repository?

First, if you are using git rm, especially for multiple files, consider any wildcard will be resolved by the shell, not by the git command.

git rm -- *.anExtension
git commit -m "remove multiple files"

But, if your file is already on GitHub, you can (since July 2013) directly delete it from the web GUI!

Simply view any file in your repository, click the trash can icon at the top, and commit the removal just like any other web-based edit.

Then "git pull" on your local repo, and that will delete the file locally too.
Which makes this answer a (roundabout) way to delete a file from git repo?
(Not to mention that a file on GitHub is in a "git repo")


delete button

(the commit will reflect the deletion of that file):

commit a deletion

And just like that, it’s gone.

For help with these features, be sure to read our help articles on creating, moving, renaming, and deleting files.

Note: Since it’s a version control system, Git always has your back if you need to recover the file later.

The last sentence means that the deleted file is still part of the history, and you can restore it easily enough (but not yet through the GitHub web interface):

See "Restore a deleted file in a Git repo".

How do I remove blank pages coming between two chapters in Appendix?

If you specify the option 'openany' in the \documentclass declaration each chapter in the book (I'm guessing you're using the book class as chapters open on the next page in reports and articles don't have chapters) will open on a new page, not necessarily the next odd-numbered page.

Of course, that's not quite what you want. I think you want to set openany for chapters in the appendix. 'fraid I don't know how to do that, I suspect that you need to roll up your sleeves and wrestle with TeX itself

Convert array into csv

The accepted answer from Paul is great. I've made a small extension to this which is very useful if you have an multidimensional array like this (which is quite common):

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [a] => "a"
            [b] => "b"
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [a] => "a2"
            [b] => "b2"
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [a] => "a3"
            [b] => "b3"
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [a] => "a4"
            [b] => "b4"
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [a] => "a5"
            [b] => "b5"
        )

)

So I just took Paul's function from above:

/**
  * Formats a line (passed as a fields  array) as CSV and returns the CSV as a string.
  * Adapted from http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php#87120
  */
function arrayToCsv( array &$fields, $delimiter = ';', $enclosure = '"', $encloseAll = false, $nullToMysqlNull = false ) {
    $delimiter_esc = preg_quote($delimiter, '/');
    $enclosure_esc = preg_quote($enclosure, '/');

    $output = array();
    foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
        if ($field === null && $nullToMysqlNull) {
            $output[] = 'NULL';
            continue;
        }

        // Enclose fields containing $delimiter, $enclosure or whitespace
        if ( $encloseAll || preg_match( "/(?:${delimiter_esc}|${enclosure_esc}|\s)/", $field ) ) {
            $output[] = $enclosure . str_replace($enclosure, $enclosure . $enclosure, $field) . $enclosure;
        }
        else {
            $output[] = $field;
        }
    }

    return implode( $delimiter, $output );
}

And added this:

function a2c($array, $glue = "\n")
{
    $ret = [];
    foreach ($array as $item) {
        $ret[] = arrayToCsv($item);
    }
    return implode($glue, $ret);
}

So you can just call:

$csv = a2c($array);

If you want a special line ending you can use the optional parameter "glue" for this.

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 google-play-services.jar project dependency so my project will run and present map

The quick start guide that keyboardsurfer references will work if you need to get your project to build properly, but it leaves you with a dummy google-play-services project in your Eclipse workspace, and it doesn't properly link Eclipse to the Google Play Services Javadocs.

Here's what I did instead:

  1. Install the Google Play Services SDK using the instructions in the Android Maps V2 Quick Start referenced above, or the instructions to Setup Google Play Services SDK, but do not follow the instructions to add Google Play Services into your project.

  2. Right click on the project in the Package Explorer, select Properties to open the properties for your project.

  3. (Only if you already followed the instructions in the quick start guide!) Remove the dependency on the google-play-services project:

    • Click on the Android category and remove the reference to the google-play-services project.

    • Click on the Java Build Path category, then the Projects tab and remove the reference to the google-play-services project.

  4. Click on the Java Build Path category, then the Libraries tab.

  5. Click Add External JARs... and select the google-play-services.jar file. This should be in [Your ADT directory]\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs.

  6. Click on the arrow next to the new google-play-services.jar entry, and select the Javadoc Location item.

  7. Click Edit... and select the folder containing the Google Play Services Javadocs. This should be in [Your ADT directory]\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\docs\reference.

  8. Still in the Java Build Path category, click on the Order and Export tab. Check the box next to the google-play-services.jar entry.

  9. Click OK to save your project properties.

Your project should now have access to the Google Play Services library, and the Javadocs should display properly in Eclipse.

plot with custom text for x axis points

You can manually set xticks (and yticks) using pyplot.xticks:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.array([0,1,2,3])
y = np.array([20,21,22,23])
my_xticks = ['John','Arnold','Mavis','Matt']
plt.xticks(x, my_xticks)
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

Difference between jQuery parent(), parents() and closest() functions

There is difference between both $(this).closest('div') and $(this).parents('div').eq(0)

Basically closest start matching element from the current element whereas parents start matching elements from parent (one level above the current element)

See http://jsfiddle.net/imrankabir/c1jhocre/1/

How do I add a project as a dependency of another project?

Assuming the MyEjbProject is not another Maven Project you own or want to build with maven, you could use system dependencies to link to the existing jar file of the project like so

<project>
   ...
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>yourgroup</groupId>
         <artifactId>myejbproject</artifactId>
         <version>2.0</version>
         <scope>system</scope>
         <systemPath>path/to/myejbproject.jar</systemPath>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>
   ...
</project>

That said it is usually the better (and preferred way) to install the package to the repository either by making it a maven project and building it or installing it the way you already seem to do.


If they are, however, dependent on each other, you can always create a separate parent project (has to be a "pom" project) declaring the two other projects as its "modules". (The child projects would not have to declare the third project as their parent). As a consequence you'd get a new directory for the new parent project, where you'd also quite probably put the two independent projects like this:

parent
|- pom.xml
|- MyEJBProject
|   `- pom.xml
`- MyWarProject
    `- pom.xml

The parent project would get a "modules" section to name all the child modules. The aggregator would then use the dependencies in the child modules to actually find out the order in which the projects are to be built)

<project>
   ...
   <artifactId>myparentproject</artifactId>
   <groupId>...</groupId>
   <version>...</version>

   <packaging>pom</packaging>
   ...
   <modules>
     <module>MyEJBModule</module>
     <module>MyWarModule</module>
   </modules>
   ...
</project>

That way the projects can relate to each other but (once they are installed in the local repository) still be used independently as artifacts in other projects


Finally, if your projects are not in related directories, you might try to give them as relative modules:

filesystem
 |- mywarproject
 |   `pom.xml
 |- myejbproject
 |   `pom.xml
 `- parent
     `pom.xml

now you could just do this (worked in maven 2, just tried it):

<!--parent-->
<project>
  <modules>
    <module>../mywarproject</module>
    <module>../myejbproject</module>
  </modules>
</project>

Resolve Git merge conflicts in favor of their changes during a pull

How to get 2 digit year w/ Javascript?

Given a date object:

date.getFullYear().toString().substr(2,2);

It returns the number as string. If you want it as integer just wrap it inside the parseInt() function:

var twoDigitsYear = parseInt(date.getFullYear().toString().substr(2,2), 10);

Example with the current year in one line:

var twoDigitsCurrentYear = parseInt(new Date().getFullYear().toString().substr(2,2));

How to read from stdin with fgets()?

If you want to concatenate the input, then replace printf("%s\n", buffer); with strcat(big_buffer, buffer);. Also create and initialize the big buffer at the beginning: char *big_buffer = new char[BIG_BUFFERSIZE]; big_buffer[0] = '\0';. You should also prevent a buffer overrun by verifying the current buffer length plus the new buffer length does not exceed the limit: if ((strlen(big_buffer) + strlen(buffer)) < BIG_BUFFERSIZE). The modified program would look like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define BUFFERSIZE 10
#define BIG_BUFFERSIZE 1024

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char buffer[BUFFERSIZE];
    char *big_buffer = new char[BIG_BUFFERSIZE];
    big_buffer[0] = '\0';
    printf("Enter a message: \n");
    while(fgets(buffer, BUFFERSIZE , stdin) != NULL)
    {
        if ((strlen(big_buffer) + strlen(buffer)) < BIG_BUFFERSIZE)
        {
            strcat(big_buffer, buffer);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

How to pass an ArrayList to a varargs method parameter?

A shorter version of the accepted answer using Guava:

.getMap(Iterables.toArray(locations, WorldLocation.class));

can be shortened further by statically importing toArray:

import static com.google.common.collect.toArray;
// ...

    .getMap(toArray(locations, WorldLocation.class));

What is the worst programming language you ever worked with?

VSE, The Visual Software Environment.

This is a language that a prof of mine (Dr. Henry Ledgard) tried to sell us on back in undergrad/grad school. (I don't feel bad about giving his name because, as far as I can tell, he's still a big proponent and would welcome the chance to convince some folks it's the best thing since sliced bread). When describing it to people, my best analogy is that it's sort of a bastard child of FORTRAN and COBOL, with some extra bad thrown in. From the only really accessible folder I've found with this material (there's lots more in there that I'm not going to link specifically here):

VSE is built around what they call "The Separation Principle". The idea is that Data and Behavior must be completely segregated. Imagine C's requirement that all variables/data must be declared at the beginning of the function, except now move that declaration into a separate file that other functions can use as well. When other functions use it, they're using the same data, not a local copy of data with the same layout.

Why do things this way? We learn that from The Software Survivors that Variable Scope Rules Are Hard. I'd include a quote but, like most fools, it takes these guys forever to say anything. Search that PDF for "Quagmire Of Scope" and you'll discover some true enlightenment.

They go on to claim that this somehow makes it more suitable for multi-proc environments because it more closely models the underlying hardware implementation. Riiiight.

Another choice theme that comes up frequently:

INCREMENT DAY COUNT BY 7 (or DAY COUNT = DAY COUNT + 7)
DECREMENT TOTAL LOSS BY GROUND_LOSS
ADD 100.3 TO TOTAL LOSS(LINK_POINTER)
SET AIRCRAFT STATE TO ON_THE_GROUND
PERCENT BUSY = (TOTAL BUSY CALLS * 100)/TOTAL CALLS

Although not earthshaking, the style of arithmetic reflects ordinary usage, i.e., anyone can read and understand it - without knowing a programming language. In fact, VisiSoft arithmetic is virtually identical to FORTRAN, including embedded complex arithmetic. This puts programmers concerned with their professional status and corresponding job security ill at ease.

Ummm, not that concerned at all, really. One of the key selling points that Bill Cave uses to try to sell VSE is the democratization of programming so that business people don't need to indenture themselves to programmers who use crazy, arcane tools for the sole purpose of job security. He leverages this irrational fear to sell his tool. (And it works-- the federal gov't is his biggest customer). I counted 17 uses of the phrase "job security" in the document. Examples:

  • ... and fit only for those desiring artificial job security.
  • More false job security?
  • Is job security dependent upon ensuring the other guy can't figure out what was done?
  • Is job security dependent upon complex code...?
  • One of the strongest forces affecting the acceptance of new technology is the perception of one's job security.

He uses this paranoia to drive wedge between the managers holding the purse strings and the technical people who have the knowledge to recognize VSE for the turd that it is. This is how he squeezes it into companies-- "Your technical people are only saying it sucks because they're afraid it will make them obsolete!"


A few additional choice quotes from the overview documentation:

Another consequence of this approach is that data is mapped into memory on a "What You See Is What You Get" basis, and maintained throughout. This allows users to move a complete structure as a string of characters into a template that descrives each individual field. Multiple templates can be redefined for a given storage area. Unlike C and other languages, substructures can be moved without the problems of misalignment due to word boundary alignment standards.

Now, I don't know about you, but I know that a WYSIWYG approach to memory layout is at the top of my priority list when it comes to language choice! Basically, they ignore alignment issues because only old languages that were designed in the '60's and '70's care about word alignment. Or something like that. The reasoning is bogus. It made so little sense to me that I proceeded to forget it almost immediately.

There are no user-defined types in VSE. This is a far-reaching decision that greatly simplifies the language. The gain from a practical point of view is also great. VSE allows the designer and programmer to organize a program along the same lines as a physical system being modeled. VSE allows structures to be built in an easy-to-read, logical attribute hierarchy.

Awesome! User-defined types are lame. Why would I want something like an InputMessage object when I can have:

LINKS_IN_USE INTEGER
INPUT_MESSAGE
   1 ORIGIN             INTEGER
   1 DESTINATION        INTEGER
   1 MESSAGE
      2 MESSAGE_HEADER  CHAR 10
      2 MESSAGE_BODY    CHAR 24
      2 MESSAGE_TRAILER CHAR 10
   1 ARRIVAL_TIME       INTEGER
   1 DURATION           INTEGER
   1 TYPE               CHAR 5

OUTPUT_MESSAGE CHARACTER 50

You might look at that and think, "Oh, that's pretty nicely formatted, if a bit old-school." Old-school is right. Whitespace is significant-- very significant. And redundant! The 1's must be in column 3. The 1 indicates that it's at the first level of the hierarchy. The Symbol name must be in column 5. You hierarchies are limited to a depth of 9.

Well, ok, but is that so awful? Just wait:

It is well known that for reading text, use of conventional upper/lower case is more readable. VSE uses all upper case (except for comments). Why? The literature in psychology is based on prose. Programs, simply, are not prose. Programs are more like math, accounting, tables. Program fonts (usually Courier) are almost universally fixed-pitch, and for good reason – vertical alignment among related lines of code. Programs in upper case are nicely readable, and, after a time, much better in our opinion

Nothing like enforcing your opinion at the language level! That's right, you cannot use any lower case in VSE unless it's in a comment. Just keep your CAPSLOCK on, it's gonna be stuck there for a while.

VSE subprocedures are called processes. This code sample contains three processes:

PROCESS_MUSIC
    EXECUTE INITIALIZE_THE_SCENE
    EXECUTE PROCESS_PANEL_WIDGET

INITIALIZE_THE_SCENE
    SET TEST_BUTTON PANEL_BUTTON_STATUS TO ON
    MOVE ' ' TO TEST_INPUT PANEL_INPUT_TEXT
    DISPLAY PANEL PANEL_MUSIC

PROCESS_PANEL_WIDGET
    ACCEPT PANEL PANEL_MUSIC

*** CHECK FOR BUTTON CLICK
    IF RTG_PANEL_WIDGET_NAME IS EQUAL TO 'TEST_BUTTON'
       MOVE 'I LIKE THE BEATLES!' TO TEST_INPUT PANEL_INPUT_TEXT.
    DISPLAY PANEL PANEL_MUSIC

All caps as expected. After all, that's easier to read. Note the whitespace. It's significant again. All process names must start in column 0. The initial level of instructions must start on column 4. Deeper levels must be indented exactly 3 spaces. This isn't a big deal, though, because you aren't allowed to do things like nest conditionals. You want a nested conditional? Well just make another process and call it. And note the delicious COBOL-esque syntax!

You want loops? Easy:

EXECUTE NEXT_CALL
EXECUTE NEXT_CALL 5 TIMES
EXECUTE NEXT_CALL TOTAL CALL TIMES

EXECUTE NEXT_CALL    UNTIL NO LINES ARE AVAILABLE
EXECUTE NEXT_CALL    UNTIL CALLS_ANSWERED ARE EQUAL TO CALLS_WAITING
EXECUTE READ_MESSAGE UNTIL LEAD_CHARACTER IS A DELIMITER

Ugh.

How can I filter a date of a DateTimeField in Django?

YourModel.objects.filter(datetime_published__year='2008', 
                         datetime_published__month='03', 
                         datetime_published__day='27')

// edit after comments

YourModel.objects.filter(datetime_published=datetime(2008, 03, 27))

doest not work because it creates a datetime object with time values set to 0, so the time in database doesn't match.

How to write a PHP ternary operator

PHP 8 (Left-associative ternary operator change)

Left-associative ternary operator deprecation https://wiki.php.net/rfc/ternary_associativity. The ternary operator has some weird quirks in PHP. This RFC adds a deprecation warning for nested ternary statements. In PHP 8, this deprecation will be converted to a compile time error.

1 ? 2 : 3 ? 4 : 5;   // deprecated
(1 ? 2 : 3) ? 4 : 5; // ok

A full list of all the new/popular databases and their uses?

To file under both 'established' and 'key-value store': Berkeley DB.

Has transactions and replication. Usually linked as a lib (no standalone server, although you may write one). Values and keys are just binary strings, you can provide a custom sorting function for them (where applicable).

Does not prevent from shooting yourself in the foot. Switch off locking/transaction support, access the db from two threads at once, end up with a corrupt file.

Pythonic way to combine FOR loop and IF statement

Use intersection or intersection_update

  • intersection :

    a = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
    xyz = [0,12,4,6,242,7,9]
    ans = sorted(set(a).intersection(set(xyz)))
    
  • intersection_update:

    a = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
    xyz = [0,12,4,6,242,7,9]
    b = set(a)
    b.intersection_update(xyz)
    

    then b is your answer

How do you install an APK file in the Android emulator?

Follow the steps :

  1. make sure you have allowed installation from unknown sources in settings.
  2. Use the Android Device Monitor to copy the APK to the sdcard.
  3. Use the builtin browser in Android to navigate to file:///sdcard/apk-name.apk
  4. When the notification "Download complete" appears, click it.

Is it possible to remove the focus from a text input when a page loads?

I would add that HTMLElement has a built-in .blur method as well.

Here's a demo using both .focus and .blur which work in similar ways.

_x000D_
_x000D_
const input = document.querySelector("#myInput");
_x000D_
<input id="myInput" value="Some Input">_x000D_
_x000D_
<button type="button" onclick="input.focus()">Focus</button>_x000D_
<button type="button" onclick="input.blur()">Lose focus</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The Android emulator is not starting, showing "invalid command-line parameter"

I'd suggest creating a directory junction named C:\Android pointing to the actual C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\:

MKLINK /J C:\Android "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\"

and then setting the newly created junction as SDK Location for your Eclipse ADT Plugin (Eclipse menu\ Window\ Preference\ Android). This might help for a number of tools/ plugin too that have problems with spaces in paths.

How to convert signed to unsigned integer in python

Python doesn't have builtin unsigned types. You can use mathematical operations to compute a new int representing the value you would get in C, but there is no "unsigned value" of a Python int. The Python int is an abstraction of an integer value, not a direct access to a fixed-byte-size integer.

How do I add a user when I'm using Alpine as a base image?

The commands are adduser and addgroup.

Here's a template for Docker you can use in busybox environments (alpine) as well as Debian-based environments (Ubuntu, etc.):

ENV USER=docker
ENV UID=12345
ENV GID=23456

RUN adduser \
    --disabled-password \
    --gecos "" \
    --home "$(pwd)" \
    --ingroup "$USER" \
    --no-create-home \
    --uid "$UID" \
    "$USER"

Note the following:

  • --disabled-password prevents prompt for a password
  • --gecos "" circumvents the prompt for "Full Name" etc. on Debian-based systems
  • --home "$(pwd)" sets the user's home to the WORKDIR. You may not want this.
  • --no-create-home prevents cruft getting copied into the directory from /etc/skel

The usage description for these applications is missing the long flags present in the code for adduser and addgroup.

The following long-form flags should work both in alpine as well as debian-derivatives:

adduser

BusyBox v1.28.4 (2018-05-30 10:45:57 UTC) multi-call binary.

Usage: adduser [OPTIONS] USER [GROUP]

Create new user, or add USER to GROUP

        --home DIR           Home directory
        --gecos GECOS        GECOS field
        --shell SHELL        Login shell
        --ingroup GRP        Group (by name)
        --system             Create a system user
        --disabled-password  Don't assign a password
        --no-create-home     Don't create home directory
        --uid UID            User id

One thing to note is that if --ingroup isn't set then the GID is assigned to match the UID. If the GID corresponding to the provided UID already exists adduser will fail.

addgroup

BusyBox v1.28.4 (2018-05-30 10:45:57 UTC) multi-call binary.

Usage: addgroup [-g GID] [-S] [USER] GROUP

Add a group or add a user to a group

        --gid GID  Group id
        --system   Create a system group

I discovered all of this while trying to write my own alternative to the fixuid project for running containers as the hosts UID/GID.

My entrypoint helper script can be found on GitHub.

The intent is to prepend that script as the first argument to ENTRYPOINT which should cause Docker to infer UID and GID from a relevant bind mount.

An environment variable "TEMPLATE" may be required to determine where the permissions should be inferred from.

(At the time of writing I don't have documentation for my script. It's still on the todo list!!)

Is there a Max function in SQL Server that takes two values like Math.Max in .NET?

Oops, I just posted a dupe of this question...

The answer is, there is no built in function like Oracle's Greatest, but you can achieve a similar result for 2 columns with a UDF, note, the use of sql_variant is quite important here.

create table #t (a int, b int) 

insert #t
select 1,2 union all 
select 3,4 union all
select 5,2

-- option 1 - A case statement
select case when a > b then a else b end
from #t

-- option 2 - A union statement 
select a from #t where a >= b 
union all 
select b from #t where b > a 

-- option 3 - A udf
create function dbo.GREATEST
( 
    @a as sql_variant,
    @b as sql_variant
)
returns sql_variant
begin   
    declare @max sql_variant 
    if @a is null or @b is null return null
    if @b > @a return @b  
    return @a 
end


select dbo.GREATEST(a,b)
from #t

kristof

Posted this answer:

create table #t (id int IDENTITY(1,1), a int, b int)
insert #t
select 1,2 union all
select 3,4 union all
select 5,2

select id, max(val)
from #t
    unpivot (val for col in (a, b)) as unpvt
group by id

Load a UIView from nib in Swift

Swift 4 - 5.1 Protocol Extensions

public protocol NibInstantiatable {
    
    static func nibName() -> String
    
}

extension NibInstantiatable {
    
    static func nibName() -> String {
        return String(describing: self)
    }
    
}

extension NibInstantiatable where Self: UIView {
    
    static func fromNib() -> Self {
        
        let bundle = Bundle(for: self)
        let nib = bundle.loadNibNamed(nibName(), owner: self, options: nil)
        
        return nib!.first as! Self
        
    }
    
}

Adoption

class MyView: UIView, NibInstantiatable {

}

This implementation assumes that the Nib has the same name as the UIView class. Ex. MyView.xib. You can modify this behavior by implementing nibName() in MyView to return a different name than the default protocol extension implementation.

In the xib the files owner is MyView and the root view class is MyView.

Usage

let view = MyView.fromNib()

conversion from infix to prefix

(a–b)/c*(d + e – f / g)

step 1: (a-b)/c*(d+e- /fg))

step 2: (a-b)/c*(+de - /fg)

step 3: (a-b)/c * -+de/fg

Step 4: -ab/c * -+de/fg

step 5: /-abc * -+de/fg

step 6: */-abc-+de/fg

This is prefix notation.

How to make a launcher

Just develop a normal app and then add a couple of lines to the app's manifest file.

First you need to add the following attribute to your activity:

            android:launchMode="singleTask"

Then add two categories to the intent filter :

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />

The result could look something like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.dummy.app"
        android:versionCode="1"
        android:versionName="1.0" >

        <uses-sdk
            android:minSdkVersion="11"
            android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

        <application
            android:allowBackup="true"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
            <activity
                android:name="com.dummy.app.MainActivity"
                android:launchMode="singleTask"
                android:label="@string/app_name" >
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
                </intent-filter>
            </activity>
        </application>

    </manifest>

It's that simple!

How to get POSTed JSON in Flask?

Try to use force parameter...

request.get_json(force = True)

Using the AND and NOT Operator in Python

You should write :

if (self.a != 0) and (self.b != 0) :

"&" is the bit wise operator and does not suit for boolean operations. The equivalent of "&&" is "and" in Python.

A shorter way to check what you want is to use the "in" operator :

if 0 not in (self.a, self.b) :

You can check if anything is part of a an iterable with "in", it works for :

  • Tuples. I.E : "foo" in ("foo", 1, c, etc) will return true
  • Lists. I.E : "foo" in ["foo", 1, c, etc] will return true
  • Strings. I.E : "a" in "ago" will return true
  • Dict. I.E : "foo" in {"foo" : "bar"} will return true

As an answer to the comments :

Yes, using "in" is slower since you are creating an Tuple object, but really performances are not an issue here, plus readability matters a lot in Python.

For the triangle check, it's easier to read :

0 not in (self.a, self.b, self.c)

Than

(self.a != 0) and (self.b != 0) and (self.c != 0) 

It's easier to refactor too.

Of course, in this example, it really is not that important, it's very simple snippet. But this style leads to a Pythonic code, which leads to a happier programmer (and losing weight, improving sex life, etc.) on big programs.

Create Table from JSON Data with angularjs and ng-repeat

You can use $http.get() method to fetch your JSON file. Then assign response data to a $scope object. In HTML to create table use ng-repeat for $scope object. ng-repeat will loop the rows in-side this loop you can bind data to columns dynamically.

I have checked your code and you have created static table

<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Relationship</th>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat="indivisual in members">
<td>{{ indivisual.Name }}</td>
<td>{{ indivisual.Relation }}</td>
</tr>
</table>

so better your can go to my code to create dynamic table as per data you column and row will be increase or decrease..

Running an executable in Mac Terminal

To run an executable in mac

1). Move to the path of the file:

cd/PATH_OF_THE_FILE

2). Run the following command to set the file's executable bit using the chmod command:

chmod +x ./NAME_OF_THE_FILE

3). Run the following command to execute the file:

./NAME_OF_THE_FILE

Once you have run these commands, going ahead you just have to run command 3, while in the files path.

How to enable Google Play App Signing

When you use Fabric for public beta releases (signed with prod config), DON'T USE Google Play App Signing. You will must after build two signed apks!

When you distribute to more play stores (samsung, amazon, xiaomi, ...) you will must again build two signed apks.

So be really carefull with Google Play App Signing.

It's not possible to revert it :/ and Google Play did not after accept apks signed with production key. After enable Google Play App Signing only upload key is accepted...

It really complicate CI distribution...

What to use instead of "addPreferencesFromResource" in a PreferenceActivity?

My approach is very close to Garret Wilson's (thanks, I voted you up ;)

In addition it provides downward compatibility with Android < 3.

I just recognized that my solution is even closer to the one by Kevin Remo. It's just a wee bit cleaner (as it does not rely on the "expection" antipattern).

public class MyPreferenceActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
            onCreatePreferenceActivity();
        } else {
            onCreatePreferenceFragment();
        }
    }

    /**
     * Wraps legacy {@link #onCreate(Bundle)} code for Android < 3 (i.e. API lvl
     * < 11).
     */
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    private void onCreatePreferenceActivity() {
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
    }

    /**
     * Wraps {@link #onCreate(Bundle)} code for Android >= 3 (i.e. API lvl >=
     * 11).
     */
    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
    private void onCreatePreferenceFragment() {
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .replace(android.R.id.content, new MyPreferenceFragment ())
                .commit();
    }
}

For a "real" (but more complex) example see NusicPreferencesActivity and NusicPreferencesFragment.

Why are static variables considered evil?

From my point of view static variable should be only read only data or variables created by convention.

For example we have a ui of some project, and we have a list of countries, languages, user roles, etc. And we have class to organize this data. we absolutely sure that app will not work without this lists. so the first that we do on app init is checking this list for updates and getting this list from api (if needed). So we agree that this data is "always" present in app. It is practically read only data so we don't need to take care of it's state - thinking about this case we really don't want to have a lot of instances of those data - this case looks a perfect candidate to be static.

How do you get a string from a MemoryStream?

Using a StreamReader to convert the MemoryStream to a String.

<Extension()> _
Public Function ReadAll(ByVal memStream As MemoryStream) As String
    ' Reset the stream otherwise you will just get an empty string.
    ' Remember the position so we can restore it later.
    Dim pos = memStream.Position
    memStream.Position = 0

    Dim reader As New StreamReader(memStream)
    Dim str = reader.ReadToEnd()

    ' Reset the position so that subsequent writes are correct.
    memStream.Position = pos

    Return str
End Function

check if file exists in php

You can also use PHP get_headers() function.

Example:

function check_file_exists_here($url){
   $result=get_headers($url);
   return stripos($result[0],"200 OK")?true:false; //check if $result[0] has 200 OK
}

if(check_file_exists_here("http://www.mywebsite.com/file.pdf"))
   echo "This file exists";
else
   echo "This file does not exist";

How to plot two histograms together in R?

Already beautiful answers are there, but I thought of adding this. Looks good to me. (Copied random numbers from @Dirk). library(scales) is needed`

set.seed(42)
hist(rnorm(500,4),xlim=c(0,10),col='skyblue',border=F)
hist(rnorm(500,6),add=T,col=scales::alpha('red',.5),border=F)

The result is...

enter image description here

Update: This overlapping function may also be useful to some.

hist0 <- function(...,col='skyblue',border=T) hist(...,col=col,border=border) 

I feel result from hist0 is prettier to look than hist

hist2 <- function(var1, var2,name1='',name2='',
              breaks = min(max(length(var1), length(var2)),20), 
              main0 = "", alpha0 = 0.5,grey=0,border=F,...) {    

library(scales)
  colh <- c(rgb(0, 1, 0, alpha0), rgb(1, 0, 0, alpha0))
  if(grey) colh <- c(alpha(grey(0.1,alpha0)), alpha(grey(0.9,alpha0)))

  max0 = max(var1, var2)
  min0 = min(var1, var2)

  den1_max <- hist(var1, breaks = breaks, plot = F)$density %>% max
  den2_max <- hist(var2, breaks = breaks, plot = F)$density %>% max
  den_max <- max(den2_max, den1_max)*1.2
  var1 %>% hist0(xlim = c(min0 , max0) , breaks = breaks,
                 freq = F, col = colh[1], ylim = c(0, den_max), main = main0,border=border,...)
  var2 %>% hist0(xlim = c(min0 , max0),  breaks = breaks,
                 freq = F, col = colh[2], ylim = c(0, den_max), add = T,border=border,...)
  legend(min0,den_max, legend = c(
    ifelse(nchar(name1)==0,substitute(var1) %>% deparse,name1),
    ifelse(nchar(name2)==0,substitute(var2) %>% deparse,name2),
    "Overlap"), fill = c('white','white', colh[1]), bty = "n", cex=1,ncol=3)

  legend(min0,den_max, legend = c(
    ifelse(nchar(name1)==0,substitute(var1) %>% deparse,name1),
    ifelse(nchar(name2)==0,substitute(var2) %>% deparse,name2),
    "Overlap"), fill = c(colh, colh[2]), bty = "n", cex=1,ncol=3) }

The result of

par(mar=c(3, 4, 3, 2) + 0.1) 
set.seed(100) 
hist2(rnorm(10000,2),rnorm(10000,3),breaks = 50)

Inject service in app.config

Set up your service as a custom AngularJS Provider

Despite what the Accepted answer says, you actually CAN do what you were intending to do, but you need to set it up as a configurable provider, so that it's available as a service during the configuration phase.. First, change your Service to a provider as shown below. The key difference here is that after setting the value of defer, you set the defer.promise property to the promise object returned by $http.get:

Provider Service: (provider: service recipe)

app.provider('dbService', function dbServiceProvider() {

  //the provider recipe for services require you specify a $get function
  this.$get= ['dbhost',function dbServiceFactory(dbhost){
     // return the factory as a provider
     // that is available during the configuration phase
     return new DbService(dbhost);  
  }]

});

function DbService(dbhost){
    var status;

    this.setUrl = function(url){
        dbhost = url;
    }

    this.getData = function($http) {
        return $http.get(dbhost+'db.php/score/getData')
            .success(function(data){
                 // handle any special stuff here, I would suggest the following:
                 status = 'ok';
                 status.data = data;
             })
             .error(function(message){
                 status = 'error';
                 status.message = message;
             })
             .then(function(){
                 // now we return an object with data or information about error 
                 // for special handling inside your application configuration
                 return status;
             })
    }    
}

Now, you have a configurable custom Provider, you just need to inject it. Key difference here being the missing "Provider on your injectable".

config:

app.config(function ($routeProvider) { 
    $routeProvider
        .when('/', {
            templateUrl: "partials/editor.html",
            controller: "AppCtrl",
            resolve: {
                dbData: function(DbService, $http) {
                     /*
                     *dbServiceProvider returns a dbService instance to your app whenever
                     * needed, and this instance is setup internally with a promise, 
                     * so you don't need to worry about $q and all that
                     */
                    return DbService('http://dbhost.com').getData();
                }
            }
        })
});

use resolved data in your appCtrl

app.controller('appCtrl',function(dbData, DbService){
     $scope.dbData = dbData;

     // You can also create and use another instance of the dbService here...
     // to do whatever you programmed it to do, by adding functions inside the 
     // constructor DbService(), the following assumes you added 
     // a rmUser(userObj) function in the factory
     $scope.removeDbUser = function(user){
         DbService.rmUser(user);
     }

})

Possible Alternatives

The following alternative is a similar approach, but allows definition to occur within the .config, encapsulating the service to within the specific module in the context of your app. Choose the method that right for you. Also see below for notes on a 3rd alternative and helpful links to help you get the hang of all these things

app.config(function($routeProvider, $provide) {
    $provide.service('dbService',function(){})
    //set up your service inside the module's config.

    $routeProvider
        .when('/', {
            templateUrl: "partials/editor.html",
            controller: "AppCtrl",
            resolve: {
                data: 
            }
        })
});

A few helpful Resources

  • John Lindquist has an excellent 5 minute explanation and demonstration of this at egghead.io, and it's one of the free lessons! I basically modified his demonstration by making it $http specific in the context of this request
  • View the AngularJS Developer guide on Providers
  • There is also an excellent explanation about factory/service/provider at clevertech.biz.

The provider gives you a bit more configuration over the .service method, which makes it better as an application level provider, but you could also encapsulate this within the config object itself by injecting $provide into config like so:

How to get input text length and validate user in javascript

JavaScript validation is not secure as anybody can change what your script does in the browser. Using it for enhancing the visual experience is ok though.

var textBox = document.getElementById("myTextBox");
var textLength = textBox.value.length;
if(textLength > 5)
{
    //red
    textBox.style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000";
}
else
{
    //green
    textBox.style.backgroundColor = "#00FF00";
}

Is there a simple way to delete a list element by value?

To remove an element's first occurrence in a list, simply use list.remove:

>>> a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> a.remove('b')
>>> print(a)
['a', 'c', 'd']

Mind that it does not remove all occurrences of your element. Use a list comprehension for that.

>>> a = [10, 20, 30, 40, 20, 30, 40, 20, 70, 20]
>>> a = [x for x in a if x != 20]
>>> print(a)
[10, 30, 40, 30, 40, 70]

If you don't care what's in the cookie and you just want to use it, try this clean approach using request (a popular node module):

var request = require('request');
var j = request.jar();
var request = request.defaults({jar:j});
request('http://www.google.com', function () {
  request('http://images.google.com', function (error, response, body){
     // this request will will have the cookie which first request received
     // do stuff
  });
});

Using Jasmine to spy on a function without an object

TypeScript users:

I know the OP asked about javascript, but for any TypeScript users who come across this who want to spy on an imported function, here's what you can do.

In the test file, convert the import of the function from this:

import {foo} from '../foo_functions';

x = foo(y);

To this:

import * as FooFunctions from '../foo_functions';

x = FooFunctions.foo(y);

Then you can spy on FooFunctions.foo :)

spyOn(FooFunctions, 'foo').and.callFake(...);
// ...
expect(FooFunctions.foo).toHaveBeenCalled();

How different is Scrum practice from Agile Practice?

Agile and SCRUM are related but distinct. Agile describes a set of guiding principles for building software through iterative development. Agile principles are best described in the Agile Manifesto. SCRUM is a specific set of rules to follow when practicing agile software development.

Merge two array of objects based on a key

You can use array methods

_x000D_
_x000D_
let arrayA=[_x000D_
{id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24"},_x000D_
{id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22"}]_x000D_
_x000D_
let arrayB=[_x000D_
{id: "abdc4051", name: "ab"},_x000D_
{id: "abdc4052", name: "abc"}]_x000D_
_x000D_
let arrayC = [];_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
function isBiggerThan10(element, index, array) {_x000D_
  return element > 10;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
arrayA.forEach(function(element){_x000D_
  arrayC.push({_x000D_
  id:element.id,_x000D_
  date:element.date,_x000D_
  name:(arrayB.find(e=>e.id===element.id)).name_x000D_
  });  _x000D_
});_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(arrayC);_x000D_
_x000D_
//0:{id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24", name: "ab"}_x000D_

Checking if a variable is an integer

If you're uncertain of the type of the variable (it could be a string of number characters), say it was a credit card number passed into the params, so it would originally be a string but you want to make sure it doesn't have any letter characters in it, I would use this method:

    def is_number?(obj)
        obj.to_s == obj.to_i.to_s
    end

    is_number? "123fh" # false
    is_number? "12345" # true

@Benny points out an oversight of this method, keep this in mind:

is_number? "01" # false. oops!

How do I see the extensions loaded by PHP?

Running

MongoDB distinct aggregation

Distinct and the aggregation framework are not inter-operable.

Instead you just want:

db.zips.aggregate([ 
    {$group:{_id:{city:'$city', state:'$state'}, numberOfzipcodes:{$sum:1}}}, 
    {$sort:{numberOfzipcodes:-1}},
    {$group:{_id:'$_id.state', city:{$first:'$_id.city'}, 
              numberOfzipcode:{$first:'$numberOfzipcodes'}}}
]);

What is a semaphore?

So imagine everyone is trying to go to the bathroom and there's only a certain number of keys to the bathroom. Now if there's not enough keys left, that person needs to wait. So think of semaphore as representing those set of keys available for bathrooms (the system resources) that different processes (bathroom goers) can request access to.

Now imagine two processes trying to go to the bathroom at the same time. That's not a good situation and semaphores are used to prevent this. Unfortunately, the semaphore is a voluntary mechanism and processes (our bathroom goers) can ignore it (i.e. even if there are keys, someone can still just kick the door open).

There are also differences between binary/mutex & counting semaphores.

What is the proper way to URL encode Unicode characters?

The first question is what are your needs? UTF-8 encoding is a pretty good compromise between taking text created with a cheap editor and support for a wide variety of languages. In regards to the browser identifying the encoding, the response (from the web server) should tell the browser the encoding. Still most browsers will attempt to guess, because this is either missing or wrong in so many cases. They guess by reading some amount of the result stream to see if there is a character that does not fit in the default encoding. Currently all browser(? I did not check this, but it is pretty close to true) use utf-8 as the default.

So use utf-8 unless you have a compelling reason to use one of the many other encoding schemes.

Error in data frame undefined columns selected

Are you meaning?

data2 <- data1[good,]

With

data1[good]

you're selecting columns in a wrong way (using a logical vector of complete rows).

Consider that parameter pollutant is not used; is it a column name that you want to extract? if so it should be something like

data2 <- data1[good, pollutant]

Furthermore consider that you have to rbind the data.frames inside the for loop, otherwise you get only the last data.frame (its completed.cases)

And last but not least, i'd prefer generating filenames eg with

id <- 1:322
paste0( directory, "/", gsub(" ", "0", sprintf("%3d",id)), ".csv")

A little modified chunk of ?sprintf

The string fmt (in our case "%3d") contains normal characters, which are passed through to the output string, and also conversion specifications which operate on the arguments provided through .... The allowed conversion specifications start with a % and end with one of the letters in the set aAdifeEgGosxX%. These letters denote the following types:

  • d: integer

Eg a more general example

    sprintf("I am %10d years old", 25)
[1] "I am         25 years old"
          ^^^^^^^^^^

This worked charm!!!

Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server, Failed to register URL, Access is denied

Looks like everybody has own problem Just sharing what I did to fix this problem in VS2015 (Windows 8.1), my solution has 6 web sites (not web apps)

  1. Open your solution file *.sln
  2. Change in your solution file string VWDPort = "34781" (make it unique in your solution if you have more that 1 web site, I made +2) in notepad.

See sample solution file ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties):

In my case, I tried to change URL from project properties, restart VS, reboot computer, nothing helped me only this SLN file manipulation fixed my problem.

Length of the String without using length() method

Here's another way:

int length = 0;
while (!str.equals("")) {
    str = str.substring(1);
    ++length;
}

In the same spirit (although much less efficient):

String regex = "(?s)";
int length = 0;
while (!str.matches(regex)) {
    regex += ".";
    ++length;
}

Or even:

int length = 0;
while (!str.matches("(?s).{" + length + "}")) {
    ++length;
}

How to change the version of the 'default gradle wrapper' in IntelliJ IDEA?

I just wanted to chime in that I hit this after updating Android Studio components.

What worked for me was to open gradle-wrapper.properties and update the gradle version used. As of now for my projects the line reads:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.5-all.zip

executing shell command in background from script

Leave off the quotes

$cmd &

eg:

$cmd &


nicholas@nick-win7 /tmp
$ ./test

nicholas@nick-win7 /tmp
$ total 6

-rwxr-xr-x  1 nicholas None   41 2010-09-10 20:43 test~

if...else within JSP or JSTL

The construct for this is:

<c:choose>
   <c:when test="${..}">...</c:when> <!-- if condition -->
   <c:when test="${..}">...</c:when> <!-- else if condition -->
   <c:otherwise>...</c:otherwise>    <!-- else condition -->
</c:choose>

If the condition isn't expensive, I sometimes prefer to simply use two distinct <c:if tags - it makes it easier to read.

ES6 Map in Typescript

EDIT (Jun 5 2019): While the idea that "TypeScript supports Map natively" is still true, since version 2.1 TypeScript supports something called Record.

type MyMapLikeType = Record<string, IPerson>;
const peopleA: MyMapLikeType = {
    "a": { name: "joe" },
    "b": { name: "bart" },
};

Unfortunately the first generic parameter (key type) is still not fully respected: even with a string type, something like peopleA[0] (a number) is still valid.


EDIT (Apr 25 2016): The answer below is old and should not be considered the best answer. TypeScript does support Maps "natively" now, so it simply allows ES6 Maps to be used when the output is ES6. For ES5, it does not provide polyfills; you need to embed them yourself.

For more information, refer to mohamed hegazy's answer below for a more modern answer, or even this reddit comment for a short version.


As of 1.5.0 beta, TypeScript does not yet support Maps. It is not yet part of the roadmap, either.

The current best solution is an object with typed key and value (sometimes called a hashmap). For an object with keys of type string, and values of type number:

var arr : { [key:string]:number; } = {};

Some caveats, however:

  1. keys can only be of type string or number
  2. It actually doesn't matter what you use as the key type, since numbers/strings are still accepted interchangeably (only the value is enforced).

With the above example:

// OK:
arr["name"] = 1; // String key is fine
arr[0] = 0; // Number key is fine too

// Not OK:
arr[{ a: "a" }] = 2; // Invalid key
arr[3] = "name"; // Invalid value

how to check the dtype of a column in python pandas

To pretty print the column data types

To check the data types after, for example, an import from a file

def printColumnInfo(df):
    template="%-8s %-30s %s"
    print(template % ("Type", "Column Name", "Example Value"))
    print("-"*53)
    for c in df.columns:
        print(template % (df[c].dtype, c, df[c].iloc[1]) )

Illustrative output:

Type     Column Name                    Example Value
-----------------------------------------------------
int64    Age                            49
object   Attrition                      No
object   BusinessTravel                 Travel_Frequently
float64  DailyRate                      279.0

Including a groovy script in another groovy

How about treat the external script as a Java class? Based on this article: https://www.jmdawson.net/blog/2014/08/18/using-functions-from-one-groovy-script-in-another/

getThing.groovy The external script

def getThingList() {
    return ["thing","thin2","thing3"]
}

printThing.groovy The main script

thing = new getThing()  // new the class which represents the external script
println thing.getThingList()

Result

$ groovy printThing.groovy
[thing, thin2, thing3]

How can I add the new "Floating Action Button" between two widgets/layouts

With AppCompat 22, the FAB is supported for older devices.

Add the new support library in your build.gradle(app):

compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

Then you can use it in your xml:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu_more"
    app:elevation="6dp"
    app:pressedTranslationZ="12dp" />

To use elevation and pressedTranslationZ properties, namespace app is needed, so add this namespace to your layout: xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

How to copy Outlook mail message into excel using VBA or Macros

New introduction 2

In the previous version of macro "SaveEmailDetails" I used this statement to find Inbox:

Set FolderTgt = CreateObject("Outlook.Application"). _
              GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

I have since installed a newer version of Outlook and I have discovered that it does not use the default Inbox. For each of my email accounts, it created a separate store (named for the email address) each with its own Inbox. None of those Inboxes is the default.

This macro, outputs the name of the store holding the default Inbox to the Immediate Window:

Sub DsplUsernameOfDefaultStore()

  Dim NS As Outlook.NameSpace
  Dim DefaultInboxFldr As MAPIFolder

  Set NS = CreateObject("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
  Set DefaultInboxFldr = NS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

  Debug.Print DefaultInboxFldr.Parent.Name

End Sub

On my installation, this outputs: "Outlook Data File".

I have added an extra statement to macro "SaveEmailDetails" that shows how to access the Inbox of any store.

New introduction 1

A number of people have picked up the macro below, found it useful and have contacted me directly for further advice. Following these contacts I have made a few improvements to the macro so I have posted the revised version below. I have also added a pair of macros which together will return the MAPIFolder object for any folder with the Outlook hierarchy. These are useful if you wish to access other than a default folder.

The original text referenced one question by date which linked to an earlier question. The first question has been deleted so the link has been lost. That link was to Update excel sheet based on outlook mail (closed)

Original text

There are a surprising number of variations of the question: "How do I extract data from Outlook emails to Excel workbooks?" For example, two questions up on [outlook-vba] the same question was asked on 13 August. That question references a variation from December that I attempted to answer.

For the December question, I went overboard with a two part answer. The first part was a series of teaching macros that explored the Outlook folder structure and wrote data to text files or Excel workbooks. The second part discussed how to design the extraction process. For this question Siddarth has provided an excellent, succinct answer and then a follow-up to help with the next stage.

What the questioner of every variation appears unable to understand is that showing us what the data looks like on the screen does not tell us what the text or html body looks like. This answer is an attempt to get past that problem.

The macro below is more complicated than Siddarth’s but a lot simpler that those I included in my December answer. There is more that could be added but I think this is enough to start with.

The macro creates a new Excel workbook and outputs selected properties of every email in Inbox to create this worksheet:

Example of worksheet created by macro

Near the top of the macro there is a comment containing eight hashes (#). The statement below that comment must be changed because it identifies the folder in which the Excel workbook will be created.

All other comments containing hashes suggest amendments to adapt the macro to your requirements.

How are the emails from which data is to be extracted identified? Is it the sender, the subject, a string within the body or all of these? The comments provide some help in eliminating uninteresting emails. If I understand the question correctly, an interesting email will have Subject = "Task Completed".

The comments provide no help in extracting data from interesting emails but the worksheet shows both the text and html versions of the email body if they are present. My idea is that you can see what the macro will see and start designing the extraction process.

This is not shown in the screen image above but the macro outputs two versions on the text body. The first version is unchanged which means tab, carriage return, line feed are obeyed and any non-break spaces look like spaces. In the second version, I have replaced these codes with the strings [TB], [CR], [LF] and [NBSP] so they are visible. If my understanding is correct, I would expect to see the following within the second text body:

Activity[TAB]Count[CR][LF]Open[TAB]35[CR][LF]HCQA[TAB]42[CR][LF]HCQC[TAB]60[CR][LF]HAbst[TAB]50 45 5 2 2 1[CR][LF] and so on

Extracting the values from the original of this string should not be difficult.

I would try amending my macro to output the extracted values in addition to the email’s properties. Only when I have successfully achieved this change would I attempt to write the extracted data to an existing workbook. I would also move processed emails to a different folder. I have shown where these changes must be made but give no further help. I will respond to a supplementary question if you get to the point where you need this information.

Good luck.

Android Studio drawable folders

Just to make complete all answers, 'drawable' is, literally, a drawable image, not a complete and ready set of pixels, as .png

In other word words, drawable is only for vectorial images, just try right-click on 'drawable' and go New > Vector Asset, it will accept it, while Image Asset won't be added.

The data for 'drawing', generating the image is recorded on a XML file like this:

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="24dp"
    android:height="24dp"
    android:viewportWidth="24.0"

Finding the Eclipse Version Number

Based on Neeme Praks' answer, the below code should give you the version of eclipse ide you're running within.

In my case, I was running in an eclipse-derived product, so Neeme's answer just gave me the version of that product. The OP asked how to find the Eclipse version, whih is what I was after. Therefore I needed to make a couple of changes, leading me to this:

    /**
     * Attempts to get the version of the eclipse ide we're running in.
     * @return the version, or null if it couldn't be detected.
     */
    static Version getEclipseVersion() {
        String product = "org.eclipse.platform.ide";
        IExtensionRegistry registry = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
        IExtensionPoint point = registry.getExtensionPoint("org.eclipse.core.runtime.products");
        if (point != null) {
            IExtension[] extensions = point.getExtensions();
            for (IExtension ext : extensions) {
                if (product.equals(ext.getUniqueIdentifier())) {
                    IContributor contributor = ext.getContributor();
                    if (contributor != null) {
                        Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle(contributor.getName());
                        if (bundle != null) {
                            return bundle.getVersion();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

This will return you a convenient Version, which can be compared thus:

    private static final Version DESIRED_MINIMUM_VERSION = new Version("4.9"); //other constructors are available
    boolean haveAtLeastMinimumDesiredVersion()
        Version thisVersion = getEclipseVersion();
        if (thisVersion == null) {
            //we might have a problem
        }
        //returns a positive number if thisVersion is greater than the given parameter (desiredVersion)
        return thisVersion.compareTo(DESIRED_MINIMUM_VERSION) >= 0;
    }

Does VBScript have a substring() function?

As Tmdean correctly pointed out you can use the Mid() function. The MSDN Library also has a great reference section on VBScript which you can find here:

VBScript Language Reference (MSDN Library)

Maven compile with multiple src directories

This can be done in two steps:

  • For each source directory you should create own module.
  • In all modules you should specify the same build directory: ${build.directory}

If you work with started Jetty (jetty:run), then recompilation of any class in any module (with Maven, IDEA or Eclipse) will lead to Jetty's restart. The same behavior you'll get for modified resources.

How to create file execute mode permissions in Git on Windows?

There's no need to do this in two commits, you can add the file and mark it executable in a single commit:

C:\Temp\TestRepo>touch foo.sh

C:\Temp\TestRepo>git add foo.sh

C:\Temp\TestRepo>git ls-files --stage
100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0       foo.sh

As you note, after adding, the mode is 0644 (ie, not executable). However, we can mark it as executable before committing:

C:\Temp\TestRepo>git update-index --chmod=+x foo.sh

C:\Temp\TestRepo>git ls-files --stage
100755 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0       foo.sh

And now the file is mode 0755 (executable).

C:\Temp\TestRepo>git commit -m"Executable!"
[master (root-commit) 1f7a57a] Executable!
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100755 foo.sh

And now we have a single commit with a single executable file.

Convert datetime to valid JavaScript date

You can use get methods:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var fullDate = new Date();_x000D_
console.log(fullDate);_x000D_
var twoDigitMonth = fullDate.getMonth() + "";_x000D_

Storing files in SQL Server

You might read up on FILESTREAM. Here is some info from the docs that should help you decide:

If the following conditions are true, you should consider using FILESTREAM:

  • Objects that are being stored are, on average, larger than 1 MB.
  • Fast read access is important.
  • You are developing applications that use a middle tier for application logic.

For smaller objects, storing varbinary(max) BLOBs in the database often provides better streaming performance.

How to make primary key as autoincrement for Room Persistence lib

For example, if you have a users entity you want to store, with fields (firstname, lastname , email) and you want autogenerated id, you do this.

@Entity(tableName = "users")
data class Users(
   @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
   val id: Long,
   val firstname: String,
   val lastname: String,
   val email: String
)

Room will then autogenerate and auto-increment the id field.

How do I output the difference between two specific revisions in Subversion?

To compare entire revisions, it's simply:

svn diff -r 8979:11390


If you want to compare the last committed state against your currently saved working files, you can use convenience keywords:

svn diff -r PREV:HEAD

(Note, without anything specified afterwards, all files in the specified revisions are compared.)


You can compare a specific file if you add the file path afterwards:

svn diff -r 8979:HEAD /path/to/my/file.php

Why does Git say my master branch is "already up to date" even though it is not?

While none of these answers worked for me, I was able to fix the issue using the following command.

git fetch origin

This did a trick for me.

Text Progress Bar in the Console

Well here is code that works and I tested it before posting:

import sys
def prg(prog, fillchar, emptchar):
    fillt = 0
    emptt = 20
    if prog < 100 and prog > 0:
        prog2 = prog/5
        fillt = fillt + prog2
        emptt = emptt - prog2
        sys.stdout.write("\r[" + str(fillchar)*fillt + str(emptchar)*emptt + "]" + str(prog) + "%")
        sys.stdout.flush()
    elif prog >= 100:
        prog = 100
        prog2 = prog/5
        fillt = fillt + prog2
        emptt = emptt - prog2
        sys.stdout.write("\r[" + str(fillchar)*fillt + str(emptchar)*emptt + "]" + str(prog) + "%" + "\nDone!")
        sys.stdout.flush()
    elif prog < 0:
        prog = 0
        prog2 = prog/5
        fillt = fillt + prog2
        emptt = emptt - prog2
        sys.stdout.write("\r[" + str(fillchar)*fillt + str(emptchar)*emptt + "]" + str(prog) + "%" + "\nHalted!")
        sys.stdout.flush()

Pros:

  • 20 character bar (1 character for every 5 (number wise))
  • Custom fill characters
  • Custom empty characters
  • Halt (any number below 0)
  • Done (100 and any number above 100)
  • Progress count (0-100 (below and above used for special functions))
  • Percentage number next to bar, and it's a single line

Cons:

  • Supports integers only (It can be modified to support them though, by making the division an integer division, so just change prog2 = prog/5 to prog2 = int(prog/5))

How to strip a specific word from a string?

Use str.replace.

>>> papa.replace('papa', '')
' is a good man'
>>> app.replace('papa', '')
'app is important'

Alternatively use re and use regular expressions. This will allow the removal of leading/trailing spaces.

>>> import re
>>> papa = 'papa is a good man'
>>> app = 'app is important'
>>> papa3 = 'papa is a papa, and papa'
>>>
>>> patt = re.compile('(\s*)papa(\s*)')
>>> patt.sub('\\1mama\\2', papa)
'mama is a good man'
>>> patt.sub('\\1mama\\2', papa3)
'mama is a mama, and mama'
>>> patt.sub('', papa3)
'is a, and'

"insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment " message in eclipse

I know the question talking about eclipse but i got the similar issue many times with Intellij as well and the solution for it was easy .. Just run the 64 bit exe not the 32 one which is always the default one.

JsonParseException : Illegal unquoted character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 10)

How to set label size in Bootstrap

In Bootstrap 3 they do not have separate classes for different styles of labels.

http://getbootstrap.com/components/

However, you can customize bootstrap classes that way. In your css file

.lb-sm {
  font-size: 12px;
}

.lb-md {
  font-size: 16px;
}

.lb-lg {
  font-size: 20px;
}

Alternatively, you can use header tags to change the sizes. For example, here is a medium sized label and a small-sized label

_x000D_
_x000D_
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>_x000D_
<h3>Example heading <span class="label label-default">New</span></h3>_x000D_
<h6>Example heading <span class="label label-default">New</span></h6>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

They might add size classes for labels in future Bootstrap versions.

How to add pandas data to an existing csv file?

How to change value of ArrayList element in java

I agree with Duncan ...I have tried it with mutable object but still get the same problem... I got a simple solution to this... use ListIterator instead Iterator and use set method of ListIterator

ListIterator<Integer> i = a.listIterator();
//changed the value of first element in List
Integer x =null;
        if(i.hasNext()) {
            x = i.next();
            x = Integer.valueOf(9);
        }
    //set method sets the recent iterated element in ArrayList
    i.set(x);
        //initialized the iterator again and print all the elements
        i = a.listIterator();
        while(i.hasNext())
        System.out.print(i.next());

But this constraints me to use this only for ArrayList only which can use ListIterator...i will have same problem with any other Collection

Restore DB — Error RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally.

This type of error will come when you try to upload backup data from a higher version to lower version. Like you have backup of SQL server 2008 and you trying to upload data into SQL server 2005 then you will get this kind of error. Please try to upload in a higher version.

What does the 'export' command do?

I guess you're coming from a windows background. So i'll contrast them (i'm kind of new to linux too). I found user's reply to my comment, to be useful in figuring things out.

In Windows, a variable can be permanent or not. The term Environment variable includes a variable set in the cmd shell with the SET command, as well as when the variable is set within the windows GUI, thus set in the registry, and becoming viewable in new cmd windows. e.g. documentation for the set command in windows https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490998.aspx "Displays, sets, or removes environment variables. Used without parameters, set displays the current environment settings." In Linux, set does not display environment variables, it displays shell variables which it doesn't call/refer to as environment variables. Also, Linux doesn't use set to set variables(apart from positional parameters and shell options, which I explain as a note at the end), only to display them and even then only to display shell variables. Windows uses set for setting and displaying e.g. set a=5, linux doesn't.

In Linux, I guess you could make a script that sets variables on bootup, e.g. /etc/profile or /etc/.bashrc but otherwise, they're not permanent. They're stored in RAM.

There is a distinction in Linux between shell variables, and environment variables. In Linux, shell variables are only in the current shell, and Environment variables, are in that shell and all child shells.

You can view shell variables with the set command (though note that unlike windows, variables are not set in linux with the set command).

set -o posix; set (doing that set -o posix once first, helps not display too much unnecessary stuff). So set displays shell variables.

You can view environment variables with the env command

shell variables are set with e.g. just a = 5

environment variables are set with export, export also sets the shell variable

Here you see shell variable zzz set with zzz = 5, and see it shows when running set but doesn't show as an environment variable.

Here we see yyy set with export, so it's an environment variable. And see it shows under both shell variables and environment variables

$ zzz=5

$ set | grep zzz
zzz=5

$ env | grep zzz

$ export yyy=5

$ set | grep yyy
yyy=5

$ env | grep yyy
yyy=5

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/176001/how-can-i-list-all-shell-variables

https://askubuntu.com/questions/26318/environment-variable-vs-shell-variable-whats-the-difference

Note- one point which elaborates a bit and is somewhat corrective to what i've written, is that, in linux bash, 'set' can be used to set "positional parameters" and "shell options/attributes", and technically both of those are variables, though the man pages might not describe them as such. But still, as mentioned, set won't set shell variables or environment variables). If you do set asdf then it sets $1 to asdf, and if you do echo $1 you see asdf. If you do set a=5 it won't set the variable a, equal to 5. It will set the positional parameter $1 equal to the string of "a=5". So if you ever saw set a=5 in linux it's probably a mistake unless somebody actually wanted that string a=5, in $1. The other thing that linux's set can set, is shell options/attributes. If you do set -o you see a list of them. And you can do for example set -o verbose, off, to turn verbose on(btw the default happens to be off but that makes no difference to this). Or you can do set +o verbose to turn verbose off. Windows has no such usage for its set command.

position: fixed doesn't work on iPad and iPhone

The simple way to fix this problem just types transform property for your element. and it will be fixed. Happy Coding :-)

.classname{
  position: fixed;
  transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}

Also you can try his way as well this is also work fine.

.classname{
      position: -webkit-sticky;
    }

How to name variables on the fly?

And this option?

list_name<-list()
for(i in 1:100){
    paste("orca",i,sep="")->list_name[[i]]
}

It works perfectly. In the example you put, first line is missing, and then gives you the error message.

UNION with WHERE clause

You need to look at the explain plans, but unless there is an INDEX or PARTITION on COL_A, you are looking at a FULL TABLE SCAN on both tables.

With that in mind, your first example is throwing out some of the data as it does the FULL TABLE SCAN. That result is being sorted by the UNION, then duplicate data is dropped. This gives you your result set.

In the second example, you are pulling the full contents of both tables. That result is likely to be larger. So the UNION is sorting more data, then dropping the duplicate stuff. Then the filter is being applied to give you the result set you are after.

As a general rule, the earlier you filter away data, the smaller the data set, and the faster you will get your results. As always, your milage may vary.

Stopping a CSS3 Animation on last frame

Isn't your issue that you're setting the webkitAnimationName back to nothing so that's resetting the CSS for your object back to it's default state. Won't it stay where it ended up if you just remove the setTimeout function that's resetting the state?

How do I pick randomly from an array?

Just use Array#sample:

[:foo, :bar].sample # => :foo, or :bar :-)

It is available in Ruby 1.9.1+. To be also able to use it with an earlier version of Ruby, you could require "backports/1.9.1/array/sample".

Note that in Ruby 1.8.7 it exists under the unfortunate name choice; it was renamed in later version so you shouldn't use that.

Although not useful in this case, sample accepts a number argument in case you want a number of distinct samples.

How can I see the entire HTTP request that's being sent by my Python application?

You can use HTTP Toolkit to do exactly this.

It's especially useful if you need to do this quickly, with no code changes: you can open a terminal from HTTP Toolkit, run any Python code from there as normal, and you'll be able to see the full content of every HTTP/HTTPS request immediately.

There's a free version that can do everything you need, and it's 100% open source.

I'm the creator of HTTP Toolkit; I actually built it myself to solve the exact same problem for me a while back! I too was trying to debug a payment integration, but their SDK didn't work, I couldn't tell why, and I needed to know what was actually going on to properly fix it. It's very frustrating, but being able to see the raw traffic really helps.

Lock down Microsoft Excel macro

You can check out this new product at http://hivelink.io, it allows you to properly protect your sensitive macros.

The Excel password system is extremely weak - you can crack it in 2 minutes just using a basic HEX editor. I wouldn't recommend relying on this to protect anything.

I wrote an extensive post on this topic here: Protecting Code in an Excel Workbook?

JavaScript to get rows count of a HTML table

If the table has an ID:

const tableObject = document.getElementById(tableId);
const rowCount = tableObject[1].childElementCount;

If the table has a Class:

const tableObject = document.getElementsByClassName(tableClass);
const rowCount = tableObject[1].childElementCount;

If the table has a Name:

const tableObject = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
const rowCount = tableObject[1].childElementCount;

Note: index 1 represents <tbody> tag

Java - removing first character of a string

In Java, remove leading character only if it is a certain character

Use the Java ternary operator to quickly check if your character is there before removing it. This strips the leading character only if it exists, if passed a blank string, return blankstring.

String header = "";
header = header.startsWith("#") ? header.substring(1) : header;
System.out.println(header);

header = "foobar";
header = header.startsWith("#") ? header.substring(1) : header;
System.out.println(header);

header = "#moobar";
header = header.startsWith("#") ? header.substring(1) : header;
System.out.println(header);

Prints:

blankstring
foobar
moobar

Java, remove all the instances of a character anywhere in a string:

String a = "Cool";
a = a.replace("o","");
//variable 'a' contains the string "Cl"

Java, remove the first instance of a character anywhere in a string:

String b = "Cool";
b = b.replaceFirst("o","");
//variable 'b' contains the string "Col"

How to get overall CPU usage (e.g. 57%) on Linux

Try mpstat from the sysstat package

> sudo apt-get install sysstat
Linux 3.0.0-13-generic (ws025)  02/10/2012  _x86_64_    (2 CPU)  

03:33:26 PM  CPU    %usr   %nice    %sys %iowait    %irq   %soft  %steal  %guest   %idle

Then some cutor grepto parse the info you need:

mpstat | grep -A 5 "%idle" | tail -n 1 | awk -F " " '{print 100 -  $ 12}'a

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

Minor note: Please consider that when you import from a default export, the naming is completely independent. This actually has an impact on refactorings.

Let's say you have a class Foo like this with a corresponding import:

export default class Foo { }

// The name 'Foo' could be anything, since it's just an
// Identifier for the default export
import Foo from './Foo'

Now if you refactor your Foo class to be Bar and also rename the file, most IDEs will NOT touch your import. So you will end up with this:

export default class Bar { }

// The name 'Foo' could be anything, since it's just an
// Identifier for the default export.
import Foo from './Bar'

Especially in TypeScript, I really appreciate named exports and the more reliable refactoring. The difference is just the lack of the default keyword and the curly braces. This btw also prevents you from making a typo in your import since you have type checking now.

export class Foo { }

//'Foo' needs to be the class name. The import will be refactored
//in case of a rename!
import { Foo } from './Foo'

iPhone Navigation Bar Title text color

titleTextAttributes Display attributes for the bar’s title text.

@property(nonatomic, copy) NSDictionary *titleTextAttributes Discussion You can specify the font, text color, text shadow color, and text shadow offset for the title in the text attributes dictionary, using the text attribute keys described in NSString UIKit Additions Reference.

Availability Available in iOS 5.0 and later. Declared In UINavigationBar.h

Use jQuery to navigate away from page

Other answers rightly point out that there is no need to use jQuery in order to navigate to another URL; that's why there's no jQuery function which does so!

If you're asking how to click a link via jQuery then assuming you have markup which looks like:

<a id="my-link" href="/relative/path.html">Click Me!</a>

You could click() it by executing:

$('#my-link').click();

Validate phone number with JavaScript

What I would do is ignore the format and validate the numeric content:

var originalPhoneNumber = "415-555-1212";

function isValid(p) {
  var phoneRe = /^[2-9]\d{2}[2-9]\d{2}\d{4}$/;
  var digits = p.replace(/\D/g, "");
  return phoneRe.test(digits);
}

How to change port for jenkins window service when 8080 is being used

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS you can change the Port like that:

  1. Change port number in the config file /etc/default/jenkins to 8081 (or the port you like) HTTP_PORT=8081
  2. Restart Jenkins: service jenkins restart

How to iterate through a list of objects in C++

You're close.

std::list<Student>::iterator it;
for (it = data.begin(); it != data.end(); ++it){
    std::cout << it->name;
}

Note that you can define it inside the for loop:

for (std::list<Student>::iterator it = data.begin(); it != data.end(); ++it){
    std::cout << it->name;
}

And if you are using C++11 then you can use a range-based for loop instead:

for (auto const& i : data) {
    std::cout << i.name;
}

Here auto automatically deduces the correct type. You could have written Student const& i instead.

Call multiple functions onClick ReactJS

this onclick={()=>{ f1(); f2() }} helped me a lot if i want two different functions at the same time. But now i want to create an audiorecorder with only one button. So if i click first i want to run the StartFunction f1() and if i click again then i want to run StopFunction f2().

How do you guys realize this?

java.io.IOException: Could not locate executable null\bin\winutils.exe in the Hadoop binaries. spark Eclipse on windows 7

On top of mentioning your environment variable for HADOOP_HOME in windows as C:\winutils, you also need to make sure you are the administrator of the machine. If not and adding environment variables prompts you for admin credentials (even under USER variables) then these variables will be applicable once you start your command prompt as administrator.

angular2 manually firing click event on particular element

Angular4

Instead of

    this.renderer.invokeElementMethod(
        this.fileInput.nativeElement, 'dispatchEvent', [event]);

use

    this.fileInput.nativeElement.dispatchEvent(event);

because invokeElementMethod won't be part of the renderer anymore.

Angular2

Use ViewChild with a template variable to get a reference to the file input, then use the Renderer to invoke dispatchEvent to fire the event:

import { Component, Renderer, ElementRef, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
  ...
  template: `
...
<input #fileInput type="file" id="imgFile" (click)="onChange($event)" >
...`
})
class MyComponent {
  @ViewChild('fileInput') fileInput:ElementRef;

  constructor(private renderer:Renderer) {}

  showImageBrowseDlg() {
    // from http://stackoverflow.com/a/32010791/217408
    let event = new MouseEvent('click', {bubbles: true});
    this.renderer.invokeElementMethod(
        this.fileInput.nativeElement, 'dispatchEvent', [event]);
  }
}

Update

Since direct DOM access isn't discouraged anymore by the Angular team this simpler code can be used as well

this.fileInput.nativeElement.click()

See also https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/dispatchEvent

Android canvas draw rectangle

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

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

public class MyView extends View {

 Paint paint;
 Path path;

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

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

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

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

 }

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

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

 }

}

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

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

Rails: Address already in use - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRINUSE)

Found the script below in this github issue. Works great for me.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
port = ARGV.first || 3000
system("sudo echo kill-server-on #{port}")

pid = `sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P | grep #{port} | awk '{ print $2 }' | head -n 1`.strip
puts "PID: #{pid}"
`kill -9 #{pid}` unless pid.empty?

You can either run it in irb or inside a ruby file.

For the latter, create server_killer.rb then run it with ruby server_killer.rb

long long int vs. long int vs. int64_t in C++

So my question is: Is there a way to tell the compiler that a long long int is the also a int64_t, just like long int is?

This is a good question or problem, but I suspect the answer is NO.

Also, a long int may not be a long long int.


# if __WORDSIZE == 64
typedef long int  int64_t;
# else
__extension__
typedef long long int  int64_t;
# endif

I believe this is libc. I suspect you want to go deeper.

In both 32-bit compile with GCC (and with 32- and 64-bit MSVC), the output of the program will be:

int:           0
int64_t:       1
long int:      0
long long int: 1

32-bit Linux uses the ILP32 data model. Integers, longs and pointers are 32-bit. The 64-bit type is a long long.

Microsoft documents the ranges at Data Type Ranges. The say the long long is equivalent to __int64.

However, the program resulting from a 64-bit GCC compile will output:

int:           0
int64_t:       1
long int:      1
long long int: 0

64-bit Linux uses the LP64 data model. Longs are 64-bit and long long are 64-bit. As with 32-bit, Microsoft documents the ranges at Data Type Ranges and long long is still __int64.

There's a ILP64 data model where everything is 64-bit. You have to do some extra work to get a definition for your word32 type. Also see papers like 64-Bit Programming Models: Why LP64?


But this is horribly hackish and does not scale well (actual functions of substance, uint64_t, etc)...

Yeah, it gets even better. GCC mixes and matches declarations that are supposed to take 64 bit types, so its easy to get into trouble even though you follow a particular data model. For example, the following causes a compile error and tells you to use -fpermissive:

#if __LP64__
typedef unsigned long word64;
#else
typedef unsigned long long word64;
#endif

// intel definition of rdrand64_step (http://software.intel.com/en-us/node/523864)
// extern int _rdrand64_step(unsigned __int64 *random_val);

// Try it:
word64 val;
int res = rdrand64_step(&val);

It results in:

error: invalid conversion from `word64* {aka long unsigned int*}' to `long long unsigned int*'

So, ignore LP64 and change it to:

typedef unsigned long long word64;

Then, wander over to a 64-bit ARM IoT gadget that defines LP64 and use NEON:

error: invalid conversion from `word64* {aka long long unsigned int*}' to `uint64_t*'

How do I run a Python script from C#?

Actually its pretty easy to make integration between Csharp (VS) and Python with IronPython. It's not that much complex... As Chris Dunaway already said in answer section I started to build this inegration for my own project. N its pretty simple. Just follow these steps N you will get your results.

step 1 : Open VS and create new empty ConsoleApp project.

step 2 : Go to tools --> NuGet Package Manager --> Package Manager Console.

How do I parse an ISO 8601-formatted date?

If you are working with Django, it provides the dateparse module that accepts a bunch of formats similar to ISO format, including the time zone.

If you are not using Django and you don't want to use one of the other libraries mentioned here, you could probably adapt the Django source code for dateparse to your project.

HTML.ActionLink vs Url.Action in ASP.NET Razor

Html.ActionLink generates an <a href=".."></a> tag automatically.

Url.Action generates only an url.

For example:

@Html.ActionLink("link text", "actionName", "controllerName", new { id = "<id>" }, null)

generates:

<a href="/controllerName/actionName/<id>">link text</a>

and

@Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName", new { id = "<id>" }) 

generates:

/controllerName/actionName/<id>

Best plus point which I like is using Url.Action(...)

You are creating anchor tag by your own where you can set your own linked text easily even with some other html tag.

<a href="@Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName", new { id = "<id>" })">

   <img src="<ImageUrl>" style"width:<somewidth>;height:<someheight> />

   @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.<SomeModelField>)
</a>

How do I pass parameters into a PHP script through a webpage?

Presumably you're passing the arguments in on the command line as follows:

php /path/to/wwwpublic/path/to/script.php arg1 arg2

... and then accessing them in the script thusly:

<?php
// $argv[0] is '/path/to/wwwpublic/path/to/script.php'
$argument1 = $argv[1];
$argument2 = $argv[2];
?>

What you need to be doing when passing arguments through HTTP (accessing the script over the web) is using the query string and access them through the $_GET superglobal:

Go to http://yourdomain.com/path/to/script.php?argument1=arg1&argument2=arg2

... and access:

<?php
$argument1 = $_GET['argument1'];
$argument2 = $_GET['argument2'];
?>

If you want the script to run regardless of where you call it from (command line or from the browser) you'll want something like the following:

EDIT: as pointed out by Cthulhu in the comments, the most direct way to test which environment you're executing in is to use the PHP_SAPI constant. I've updated the code accordingly:

<?php
if (PHP_SAPI === 'cli') {
    $argument1 = $argv[1];
    $argument2 = $argv[2];
}
else {
    $argument1 = $_GET['argument1'];
    $argument2 = $_GET['argument2'];
}
?>

How to make the script wait/sleep in a simple way in unity

you can

        float Lasttime;
        public float Sec = 3f;
        public int Num;
        void Start(){
        ExampleStart();
        }
        public void ExampleStart(){
        Lasttime = Time.time;
        }
        void Update{

        if(Time.time - Lasttime > sec){
//           if(Num == step){
//             Yourcode
//You Can Change Sec with => sec = YOURTIME(Float)
//             Num++;
//            ExampleStart();
             }
             if(Num == 0){
             TextUI.text = "Welcome to Number Wizard!";
             Num++;
             ExampleStart();
             }
             if(Num == 1){
             TextUI.text = ("The highest number you can pick is " + max);
             Num++;
             ExampleStart();
             }
             if(Num == 2){
             TextUI.text = ("The lowest number you can pick is " + min);
             Num++;
             ExampleStart();
             }
        }

Generating Random Number In Each Row In Oracle Query

If you just use round then the two end numbers (1 and 9) will occur less frequently, to get an even distribution of integers between 1 and 9 then:

SELECT MOD(Round(DBMS_RANDOM.Value(1, 99)), 9) + 1 FROM DUAL

javascript functions to show and hide divs

You can zip the two with something like this [like jQuery does]:

function toggleMyDiv() {
 if (document.getElementById("myDiv").style.display=="block"){
  document.getElementById("myDiv").style.display="none"
  }
 else{
  document.getElementById("myDiv").style.display="block";
 }
}

..and use the same function in the two buttons - or generally in the page for both functions.

Match everything except for specified strings

If you want to make sure that the string is neither red, green nor blue, caskey's answer is it. What is often wanted, however, is to make sure that the line does not contain red, green or blue anywhere in it. For that, anchor the regular expression with ^ and include .* in the negative lookahead:

^(?!.*(red|green|blue))

Also, suppose that you want lines containing the word "engine" but without any of those colors:

^(?!.*(red|green|blue)).*engine

You might think you can factor the .* to the head of the regular expression:

^.*(?!red|green|blue)engine     # Does not work

but you cannot. You have to have both instances of .* for it to work.

Removing carriage return and new-line from the end of a string in c#

If there's always a single CRLF, then:

myString = myString.Substring(0, myString.Length - 2);

If it may or may not have it, then:

Regex re = new Regex("\r\n$");
re.Replace(myString, "");

Both of these (by design), will remove at most a single CRLF. Cache the regex for performance.

Is there a no-duplicate List implementation out there?

in add method, why not using HashSet.add() to check duplicates instead of HashSet.consist(). HashSet.add() will return true if no duplicate and false otherwise.

jquery: get elements by class name and add css to each of them

You can try this

 $('div.easy_editor').css({'border-width':'9px', 'border-style':'solid', 'border-color':'red'});

The $('div.easy_editor') refers to a collection of all divs that have the class easy editor already. There is no need to use each() unless there was some function that you wanted to run on each. The css() method actually applies to all the divs you find.

Right way to write JSON deserializer in Spring or extend it

I was trying to @Autowire a Spring-managed service into my Deserializer. Somebody tipped me off to Jackson using the new operator when invoking the serializers/deserializers. This meant no auto-wiring of Jackson's instance of my Deserializer. Here's how I was able to @Autowire my service class into my Deserializer:

context.xml

<mvc:annotation-driven>
  <mvc:message-converters>
    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
      <property name="objectMapper" ref="objectMapper" />
    </bean>
  </mvc:message-converters>
</mvc>
<bean id="objectMapper" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean">
    <!-- Add deserializers that require autowiring -->
    <property name="deserializersByType">
        <map key-type="java.lang.Class">
            <entry key="com.acme.Anchor">
                <bean class="com.acme.AnchorDeserializer" />
            </entry>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

Now that my Deserializer is a Spring-managed bean, auto-wiring works!

AnchorDeserializer.java

public class AnchorDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Anchor> {
    @Autowired
    private AnchorService anchorService;
    public Anchor deserialize(JsonParser parser, DeserializationContext context)
             throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
        // Do stuff
    }
}

AnchorService.java

@Service
public class AnchorService {}

Upgrading React version and it's dependencies by reading package.json

Using npm

Latest version while still respecting the semver in your package.json: npm update <package-name>. So, if your package.json says "react": "^15.0.0" and you run npm update react your package.json will now say "react": "^15.6.2" (the currently latest version of react 15).

But since you want to go from react 15 to react 16, that won't do. Latest version regardless of your semver: npm install --save react@latest.

If you want a specific version, you run npm install --save react@<version> e.g. npm install --save [email protected].

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install

Using yarn

Latest version while still respecting the semver in your package.json: yarn upgrade react.

Latest version regardless of your semver: yarn upgrade react@latest.

What is MATLAB good for? Why is it so used by universities? When is it better than Python?

MATLAB WAS a wrapper around commonly available libraries. And in many cases it still is. When you get to larger datasets, it has many additional optimizations, including examining and special casing common problems (reducing to sparse matrices where useful, for example), and handling edge cases. Often, you can submit a problem in a standard form to a general function, and it will determine the best underlying algorithm to use based on your data. For small N, all algorithms are fast, but MATLAB makes determining the optimal algorithm a non-issue.

This is written by someone who hates MATLAB, and has tried to replace it due to integration issues. From your question, you mention getting MATLAB 5 and using it for a course. At that level, you might want to look at Octave, an open source implementation with the same syntax. I'm guessing it is up to MATLAB 5 levels by now (I only play around with it). That should allow you to "pass your exam". For bare MATLAB functionality it seems to be close. It is lacking in the toolbox support (which, again, mostly serves to reformulate the function calls to forms familiar to engineers in the field and selects the right underlying algorithm to use).

Android - drawable with rounded corners at the top only

Try to do something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:bottom="-20dp" android:left="-20dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">

            <corners android:radius="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

It seems does not suitable to set different corner radius of rectangle. So you can use this hack.

Virtual Memory Usage from Java under Linux, too much memory used

Sun's java 1.4 has the following arguments to control memory size:

-Xmsn Specify the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must be a multiple of 1024 greater than 1MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. The default value is 2MB. Examples:

           -Xms6291456
           -Xms6144k
           -Xms6m

-Xmxn Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must a multiple of 1024 greater than 2MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. The default value is 64MB. Examples:

           -Xmx83886080
           -Xmx81920k
           -Xmx80m

PHP how to get value from array if key is in a variable

It should work the way you intended.

$array = array('value-0', 'value-1', 'value-2', 'value-3', 'value-4', 'value-5' /* … */);
$key = 4;
$value = $array[$key];
echo $value; // value-4

But maybe there is no element with the key 4. If you want to get the fiveth item no matter what key it has, you can use array_slice:

$value = array_slice($array, 4, 1);

Difference between HashMap and Map in Java..?

You can also do the following, which will also work if there is more than one match:

ChunkList.RemoveAll(x => x.UniqueId == ChunkID);

android: how to change layout on button click?

I think what you're trying to do should be done with multiple Activities. If you're learning Android, understanding Activities is something you're going to have to tackle. Trying to write a whole app with just one Activity will end up being a lot more difficult. Read this article to get yourself started, then you should end up with something more like this:

View.OnClickListener handler = new View.OnClickListener(){
    public void onClick(View v) {

        switch (v.getId()) {

            case R.id.DownloadView: 
                // doStuff
                startActivity(new Intent(ThisActivity.this, DownloadActivity.class));
                break;
            case R.id.AppView: 
                // doStuff
                startActivity(new Intent(ThisActivity.this, AppActivity.class));
                break;
        }
    }
};

findViewById(R.id.DownloadView).setOnClickListener(handler);
findViewById(R.id.AppView).setOnClickListener(handler);

How do you parse and process HTML/XML in PHP?

If you're familiar with jQuery selector, you can use ScarletsQuery for PHP

<pre><?php
include "ScarletsQuery.php";

// Load the HTML content and parse it
$html = file_get_contents('https://www.lipsum.com');
$dom = Scarlets\Library\MarkupLanguage::parseText($html);

// Select meta tag on the HTML header
$description = $dom->selector('head meta[name="description"]')[0];

// Get 'content' attribute value from meta tag
print_r($description->attr('content'));

$description = $dom->selector('#Content p');

// Get element array
print_r($description->view);

This library usually taking less than 1 second to process offline html.
It also accept invalid HTML or missing quote on tag attributes.

Option 2: or just use the URL to download 'angular-route.min.js' to your local.

and then (whatever option you choose) add this 'ngRoute' as dependency.

explained: var app = angular.module('myapp', ['ngRoute']);

Maintaining the final state at end of a CSS3 animation

Use animation-fill-mode: forwards;

Can I compile all .cpp files in src/ to .o's in obj/, then link to binary in ./?

Wildcard works for me also, but I'd like to give a side note for those using directory variables. Always use slash for folder tree (not backslash), otherwise it will fail:

BASEDIR = ../..
SRCDIR = $(BASEDIR)/src
INSTALLDIR = $(BASEDIR)/lib

MODULES = $(wildcard $(SRCDIR)/*.cpp)
OBJS = $(wildcard *.o)

Use of 'prototype' vs. 'this' in JavaScript?

As others have said the first version, using "this" results in every instance of the class A having its own independent copy of function method "x". Whereas using "prototype" will mean that each instance of class A will use the same copy of method "x".

Here is some code to show this subtle difference:

// x is a method assigned to the object using "this"
var A = function () {
    this.x = function () { alert('A'); };
};
A.prototype.updateX = function( value ) {
    this.x = function() { alert( value ); }
};

var a1 = new A();
var a2 = new A();
a1.x();  // Displays 'A'
a2.x();  // Also displays 'A'
a1.updateX('Z');
a1.x();  // Displays 'Z'
a2.x();  // Still displays 'A'

// Here x is a method assigned to the object using "prototype"
var B = function () { };
B.prototype.x = function () { alert('B'); };

B.prototype.updateX = function( value ) {
    B.prototype.x = function() { alert( value ); }
}

var b1 = new B();
var b2 = new B();
b1.x();  // Displays 'B'
b2.x();  // Also displays 'B'
b1.updateX('Y');
b1.x();  // Displays 'Y'
b2.x();  // Also displays 'Y' because by using prototype we have changed it for all instances

As others have mentioned, there are various reasons to choose one method or the other. My sample is just meant to clearly demonstrate the difference.

How to convert CharSequence to String?

There is a subtle issue here that is a bit of a gotcha.

The toString() method has a base implementation in Object. CharSequence is an interface; and although the toString() method appears as part of that interface, there is nothing at compile-time that will force you to override it and honor the additional constraints that the CharSequence toString() method's javadoc puts on the toString() method; ie that it should return a string containing the characters in the order returned by charAt().

Your IDE won't even help you out by reminding that you that you probably should override toString(). For example, in intellij, this is what you'll see if you create a new CharSequence implementation: http://puu.sh/2w1RJ. Note the absence of toString().

If you rely on toString() on an arbitrary CharSequence, it should work provided the CharSequence implementer did their job properly. But if you want to avoid any uncertainty altogether, you should use a StringBuilder and append(), like so:

final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(charSequence.length());
sb.append(charSequence);
return sb.toString();

How to create a string with format?

Use this following code:

    let intVal=56
    let floatval:Double=56.897898
    let doubleValue=89.0
    let explicitDaouble:Double=89.56
    let stringValue:"Hello"

    let stringValue="String:\(stringValue) Integer:\(intVal) Float:\(floatval) Double:\(doubleValue) ExplicitDouble:\(explicitDaouble) "

RegEx - Match Numbers of Variable Length

You can specify how many times you want the previous item to match by using {min,max}.

{[0-9]{1,3}:[0-9]{1,3}}

Also, you can use \d for digits instead of [0-9] for most regex flavors:

{\d{1,3}:\d{1,3}}

You may also want to consider escaping the outer { and }, just to make it clear that they are not part of a repetition definition.

Throughput and bandwidth difference?

  • Bandwidth - theoretical maximum units of work per unit of time
  • Throughput - actual units of work per unit of time

As opposed to the time per unit of work (speed/latency).

This question in network engineering stack exchange contains good responses: https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/10504/what-is-the-difference-between-data-rate-and-latency

GroupBy pandas DataFrame and select most common value

If you don't want to include NaN values, using Counter is much much faster than pd.Series.mode or pd.Series.value_counts()[0]:

def get_most_common(srs):
    x = list(srs)
    my_counter = Counter(x)
    return my_counter.most_common(1)[0][0]

df.groupby(col).agg(get_most_common)

should work. This will fail when you have NaN values, as each NaN will be counted separately.

Bootstrap 3 Carousel Not Working

Well, Bootstrap Carousel has various parameters to control.

i.e.

Interval: Specifies the delay (in milliseconds) between each slide.

pause: Pauses the carousel from going through the next slide when the mouse pointer enters the carousel, and resumes the sliding when the mouse pointer leaves the carousel.

wrap: Specifies whether the carousel should go through all slides continuously, or stop at the last slide

For your reference:

Hope this will help you :)

Note: This is for the further help.. I mean how can you customise or change default behaviour once carousel is loaded.

Create a folder if it doesn't already exist

Recursively create directory path:

function makedirs($dirpath, $mode=0777) {
    return is_dir($dirpath) || mkdir($dirpath, $mode, true);
}

Inspired by Python's os.makedirs()

What is event bubbling and capturing?

As other said, bubbling and capturing describe in which order some nested elements receive a given event.

I wanted to point out that for the innermost element may appear something strange. Indeed, in this case the order in which the event listeners are added does matter.

In the following example, capturing for div2 will be executed first than bubbling; while bubbling for div4 will be executed first than capturing.

_x000D_
_x000D_
function addClickListener (msg, num, type) {
  document.querySelector("#div" + num)
    .addEventListener("click", () => alert(msg + num), type);
}
bubble  = (num) => addClickListener("bubble ", num, false);
capture = (num) => addClickListener("capture ", num, true);

// first capture then bubble
capture(1);
capture(2);
bubble(2);
bubble(1);

// try reverse order
bubble(3);
bubble(4);
capture(4);
capture(3);
_x000D_
#div1, #div2, #div3, #div4 {
  border: solid 1px;
  padding: 3px;
  margin: 3px;
}
_x000D_
<div id="div1">
  div 1
  <div id="div2">
    div 2
  </div>
</div>
<div id="div3">
  div 3
  <div id="div4">
    div 4
  </div>
</div>

How to create a custom navigation drawer in android

You can easily customize the android Navigation drawer once you know how its implemented. here is a nice tutorial where you can set it up.

This will be the structure of your mainXML:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- Framelayout to display Fragments -->
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frame_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <!-- Listview to display slider menu -->
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list_slidermenu"
        android:layout_width="240dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:divider="@color/list_divider"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp"        
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector"
        android:background="@color/list_background"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

You can customize this listview to your liking by adding the header. And radiobuttons.

How to dynamically create generic C# object using reflection?

Check out this article and this simple example. Quick translation of same to your classes ...

var d1 = typeof(Task<>);
Type[] typeArgs = { typeof(Item) };
var makeme = d1.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
object o = Activator.CreateInstance(makeme);

Per your edit: For that case, you can do this ...

var d1 = Type.GetType("GenericTest.TaskA`1"); // GenericTest was my namespace, add yours
Type[] typeArgs = { typeof(Item) };
var makeme = d1.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
object o = Activator.CreateInstance(makeme);

To see where I came up with backtick1 for the name of the generic class, see this article.

Note: if your generic class accepts multiple types, you must include the commas when you omit the type names, for example:

Type type = typeof(IReadOnlyDictionary<,>);

Regex: matching up to the first occurrence of a character

Really kinda sad that no one has given you the correct answer....

In regex, ? makes it non greedy. By default regex will match as much as it can (greedy)

Simply add a ? and it will be non-greedy and match as little as possible!

Good luck, hope that helps.

Jquery submit form

You can try like:

   $("#myformid").submit(function(){
        //perform anythng
   });

Or even you can try like

$(".nextbutton").click(function() { 
    $('#form1').submit();
});

Best timing method in C?

gettimeofday() will probably do what you want.

If you're on Intel hardware, here's how to read the CPU real-time instruction counter. It will tell you the number of CPU cycles executed since the processor was booted. This is probably the finest-grained, lowest overhead counter you can get for performance measurement.

Note that this is the number of CPU cycles. On linux you can get the CPU speed from /proc/cpuinfo and divide to get the number of seconds. Converting this to a double is quite handy.

When I run this on my box, I get

11867927879484732
11867927879692217
it took this long to call printf: 207485

Here's the Intel developer's guide that gives tons of detail.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

inline uint64_t rdtsc() {
    uint32_t lo, hi;
    __asm__ __volatile__ (
      "xorl %%eax, %%eax\n"
      "cpuid\n"
      "rdtsc\n"
      : "=a" (lo), "=d" (hi)
      :
      : "%ebx", "%ecx");
    return (uint64_t)hi << 32 | lo;
}

main()
{
    unsigned long long x;
    unsigned long long y;
    x = rdtsc();
    printf("%lld\n",x);
    y = rdtsc();
    printf("%lld\n",y);
    printf("it took this long to call printf: %lld\n",y-x);
}

CFLAGS vs CPPFLAGS

To add to those who have mentioned the implicit rules, it's best to see what make has defined implicitly and for your env using:

make -p

For instance:

%.o: %.c
    $(COMPILE.c) $(OUTPUT_OPTION) $<

which expands

COMPILE.c = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) -c

This will also print # environment data. Here, you will find GCC's include path among other useful info.

C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include

In make, when it comes to search, the paths are many, the light is one... or something to that effect.

  1. C_INCLUDE_PATH is system-wide, set it in your shell's *.rc.
  2. $(CPPFLAGS) is for the preprocessor include path.
  3. If you need to add a general search path for make, use:
VPATH = my_dir_to_search

... or even more specific

vpath %.c src
vpath %.h include

make uses VPATH as a general search path so use cautiously. If a file exists in more than one location listed in VPATH, make will take the first occurrence in the list.
