Convert ndarray from float64 to integer

Use .astype.

>>> a = numpy.array([1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=numpy.float64)
>>> a
array([ 1.,  2.,  3.,  4.])
>>> a.astype(numpy.int64)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

See the documentation for more options.

Excel VBA, How to select rows based on data in a column?

Yes using Option Explicit is a good habit. Using .Select however is not :) it reduces the speed of the code. Also fully justify sheet names else the code will always run for the Activesheet which might not be what you actually wanted.

Is this what you are trying?

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
    Dim CopyRange As Range

    '~~> Change Sheet1 to relevant sheet name
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        For i = 2 To lastRow
            If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then
                If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
                    Set CopyRange = .Rows(i)
                Else
                    Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, .Rows(i))
                End If
            Else
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
            '~~> Change Sheet2 to relevant sheet name
            CopyRange.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1)
        End If
    End With
End Sub

NOTE

If if you have data from Row 2 till Row 10 and row 11 is blank and then you have data again from Row 12 then the above code will only copy data from Row 2 till Row 10

If you want to copy all rows which have data then use this code.

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
    Dim CopyRange As Range

    '~~> Change Sheet1 to relevant sheet name
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        For i = 2 To lastRow
            If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then
                If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
                    Set CopyRange = .Rows(i)
                Else
                    Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, .Rows(i))
                End If
            End If
        Next

        If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
            '~~> Change Sheet2 to relevant sheet name
            CopyRange.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1)
        End If
    End With
End Sub

What is the difference between HTML tags <div> and <span>?

In HTML there are tags that add structure or semantics to content. For example the <p> tag is used to identify a paragraph. Another example is the <ol> tag for an ordered list.

When there is no suitable tag available in HTML as shown above, the <div> and <span> tags are usually resorted to.

The <div> tag is used to identify a blocklevel section/division of a document that has a line break both before and after it.

Examples of where div tags can be used are headers, footers, navigations etc. However in HTML 5 these tags have already been provided.

The <span> tag is used to identify an inline section/division of a document.

For example a span tag can be used to add inline pictographs to an element.

File.separator vs FileSystem.getSeparator() vs System.getProperty("file.separator")?

If your code doesn't cross filesystem boundaries, i.e. you're just working with one filesystem, then use java.io.File.separator.

This will, as explained, get you the default separator for your FS. As Bringer128 explained, System.getProperty("file.separator") can be overriden via command line options and isn't as type safe as java.io.File.separator.

The last one, java.nio.file.FileSystems.getDefault().getSeparator(); was introduced in Java 7, so you might as well ignore it for now if you want your code to be portable across older Java versions.

So, every one of these options is almost the same as others, but not quite. Choose one that suits your needs.

MySQL Error 1215: Cannot add foreign key constraint

I got the same error while trying to add an fk. In my case the problem was caused by the FK table's PK which was marked as unsigned.

How should I print types like off_t and size_t?

As I recall, the only portable way to do it, is to cast the result to "unsigned long int" and use %lu.

printf("sizeof(int) = %lu", (unsigned long) sizeof(int));

Java JDBC connection status

The low-cost method, regardless of the vendor implementation, would be to select something from the process memory or the server memory, like the DB version or the name of the current database. IsClosed is very poorly implemented.

Example:

java.sql.Connection conn = <connect procedure>;
conn.close();
try {
  conn.getMetaData();
} catch (Exception e) {
  System.out.println("Connection is closed");
}

C++ printing boolean, what is displayed?

The standard streams have a boolalpha flag that determines what gets displayed -- when it's false, they'll display as 0 and 1. When it's true, they'll display as false and true.

There's also an std::boolalpha manipulator to set the flag, so this:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

int main() {
    std::cout<<false<<"\n";
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;   
    std::cout<<false<<"\n";
    return 0;
}

...produces output like:

0
false

For what it's worth, the actual word produced when boolalpha is set to true is localized--that is, <locale> has a num_put category that handles numeric conversions, so if you imbue a stream with the right locale, it can/will print out true and false as they're represented in that locale. For example,

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <locale>

int main() {
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale("fr"));

    std::cout << false << "\n";
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << false << "\n";
    return 0;
}

...and at least in theory (assuming your compiler/standard library accept "fr" as an identifier for "French") it might print out faux instead of false. I should add, however, that real support for this is uneven at best--even the Dinkumware/Microsoft library (usually quite good in this respect) prints false for every language I've checked.

The names that get used are defined in a numpunct facet though, so if you really want them to print out correctly for particular language, you can create a numpunct facet to do that. For example, one that (I believe) is at least reasonably accurate for French would look like this:

#include <array>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>

class my_fr : public std::numpunct< char > {
protected:
    char do_decimal_point() const { return ','; }
    char do_thousands_sep() const { return '.'; }
    std::string do_grouping() const { return "\3"; }
    std::string do_truename() const { return "vrai";  }
    std::string do_falsename() const { return "faux"; }
};

int main() {
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::locale(), new my_fr));

    std::cout << false << "\n";
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << false << "\n";
    return 0;
}

And the result is (as you'd probably expect):

0
faux

Why are C# 4 optional parameters defined on interface not enforced on implementing class?

An optional parameter is just tagged with an attribute. This attribute tells the compiler to insert the default value for that parameter at the call-site.

The call obj2.TestMethod(); is replaced by obj2.TestMethod(false); when the C# code gets compiled to IL, and not at JIT-time.

So in a way it's always the caller providing the default value with optional parameters. This also has consequences on binary versioning: If you change the default value but don't recompile the calling code it will continue to use the old default value.

On the other hand, this disconnect means you can't always use the concrete class and the interface interchangeably.

You already can't do that if the interface method was implemented explicitly.

SQL Server check case-sensitivity?

How can I check to see if a database in SQL Server is case-sensitive?

You can use below query that returns your informed database is case sensitive or not or is in binary sort(with null result):

;WITH collations AS (
    SELECT 
        name,
        CASE 
            WHEN description like '%case-insensitive%' THEN 0 
            WHEN description like '%case-sensitive%' THEN 1 
        END isCaseSensitive
    FROM 
        sys.fn_helpcollations()
)
SELECT *
FROM collations
WHERE name = CONVERT(varchar, DATABASEPROPERTYEX('yourDatabaseName','collation'));

How to align an image dead center with bootstrap

Add 'center-block' to image as class - no additional css needed

<img src="images/default.jpg" class="center-block img-responsive"/>

Why does range(start, end) not include end?

It works well in combination with zero-based indexing and len(). For example, if you have 10 items in a list x, they are numbered 0-9. range(len(x)) gives you 0-9.

Of course, people will tell you it's more Pythonic to do for item in x or for index, item in enumerate(x) rather than for i in range(len(x)).

Slicing works that way too: foo[1:4] is items 1-3 of foo (keeping in mind that item 1 is actually the second item due to the zero-based indexing). For consistency, they should both work the same way.

I think of it as: "the first number you want, followed by the first number you don't want." If you want 1-10, the first number you don't want is 11, so it's range(1, 11).

If it becomes cumbersome in a particular application, it's easy enough to write a little helper function that adds 1 to the ending index and calls range().

Check if a Postgres JSON array contains a string

As of PostgreSQL 9.4, you can use the ? operator:

select info->>'name' from rabbits where (info->'food')::jsonb ? 'carrots';

You can even index the ? query on the "food" key if you switch to the jsonb type instead:

alter table rabbits alter info type jsonb using info::jsonb;
create index on rabbits using gin ((info->'food'));
select info->>'name' from rabbits where info->'food' ? 'carrots';

Of course, you probably don't have time for that as a full-time rabbit keeper.

Update: Here's a demonstration of the performance improvements on a table of 1,000,000 rabbits where each rabbit likes two foods and 10% of them like carrots:

d=# -- Postgres 9.3 solution
d=# explain analyze select info->>'name' from rabbits where exists (
d(# select 1 from json_array_elements(info->'food') as food
d(#   where food::text = '"carrots"'
d(# );
 Execution time: 3084.927 ms

d=# -- Postgres 9.4+ solution
d=# explain analyze select info->'name' from rabbits where (info->'food')::jsonb ? 'carrots';
 Execution time: 1255.501 ms

d=# alter table rabbits alter info type jsonb using info::jsonb;
d=# explain analyze select info->'name' from rabbits where info->'food' ? 'carrots';
 Execution time: 465.919 ms

d=# create index on rabbits using gin ((info->'food'));
d=# explain analyze select info->'name' from rabbits where info->'food' ? 'carrots';
 Execution time: 256.478 ms

How to Execute SQL Script File in Java?

You cannot do using JDBC as it does not support . Work around would be including iBatis iBATIS is a persistence framework and call the Scriptrunner constructor as shown in iBatis documentation .

Its not good to include a heavy weight persistence framework like ibatis in order to run a simple sql scripts any ways which you can do using command line

$ mysql -u root -p db_name < test.sql

Unmount the directory which is mounted by sshfs in Mac

use ps aux | grep sshfs to find the PID of sshfs (It will be the number next to the username)

Then kill -9 $PID, if the other solutions don't work

How do I extend a class with c# extension methods?

You cannot add methods to an existing type unless the existing type is marked as partial, you can only add methods that appear to be a member of the existing type through extension methods. Since this is the case you cannot add static methods to the type itself since extension methods use instances of that type.

There is nothing stopping you from creating your own static helper method like this:

static class DateTimeHelper
{
    public static DateTime Tomorrow
    {
        get { return DateTime.Now.AddDays(1); }
    }
}

Which you would use like this:

DateTime tomorrow = DateTimeHelper.Tomorrow;

Unable to create migrations after upgrading to ASP.NET Core 2.0

You also can use in the startup class constructor to add json file (where the connection string lies) to the configuration. Example:

    IConfigurationRoot _config;
    public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
        var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .SetBasePath(env.ContentRootPath)
            .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");

        _config = builder.Build();
    }

Convert number to varchar in SQL with formatting

declare @t  tinyint
set @t =3
select right(replicate('0', 2) + cast(@t as varchar),2)

Ditto: on the cripping effect for numbers > 99

If you want to cater for 1-255 then you could use

select right(replicate('0', 2) + cast(@t as varchar),3)

But this would give you 001, 010, 100 etc

Allow multi-line in EditText view in Android?

Another neat thing to do is to use android:minHeight along with android:layout_height="wrap_content". This way you can set the size of the edit when it's empty, and when the user inputs stuff, it stretches according to how much the user inputs, including multiple lines.

mean() warning: argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA

The same error appears if you do not use the correct (numeric) format of your data in your data.frame column using mean() function. Therefore, check your data using str(data.frame&column) function to see what data type you have, and convert it to numeric format if necessary. For example, if your data is Character convert it with as.numeric(data.frame$column), or as a factor with as.numeric(as.character(data.frame$column)). The mean function does not work with types other than numeric.

How to make python Requests work via socks proxy

As of requests version 2.10.0, released on 2016-04-29, requests supports SOCKS.

It requires PySocks, which can be installed with pip install pysocks.

Example usage:

import requests
proxies = {'http': "socks5://myproxy:9191"}
requests.get('http://example.org', proxies=proxies)

How to catch a click event on a button?

Just declare a method,e.g:if ur button id is button1 then,

button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Toast.makeText(Context, "Hello", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

If you want to make the imageview1 visible then in that method write:

imageview1.setVisibility(ImageView.VISIBLE);

Get name of property as a string

Using GetMemberInfo from here: Retrieving Property name from lambda expression you can do something like this:

RemoteMgr.ExposeProperty(() => SomeClass.SomeProperty)

public class SomeClass
{
    public static string SomeProperty
    {
        get { return "Foo"; }
    }
}

public class RemoteMgr
{
    public static void ExposeProperty<T>(Expression<Func<T>> property)
    {
        var expression = GetMemberInfo(property);
        string path = string.Concat(expression.Member.DeclaringType.FullName,
            ".", expression.Member.Name);
        // Do ExposeProperty work here...
    }
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        RemoteMgr.ExposeProperty("SomeSecret", () => SomeClass.SomeProperty);
    }
}

Illegal mix of collations error in MySql

Getting the current date in visual Basic 2008

User can use this

Dim todaysdate As String = String.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", DateTime.Now)

this will format the date as required whereas user can change the string type dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy or yyyy/MM/dd or even can have this format to get the time from date

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss

how to convert string into time format and add two hours

Being a fan of the Joda Time library, here's how you can do it that way using a Joda DateTime:

import org.joda.time.format.*;
import org.joda.time.*;

...    

String dateString = "2009-04-17 10:41:33";

// parse the string
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
DateTime dateTime = formatter.parseDateTime(dateString);

// add two hours
dateTime = dateTime.plusHours(2); // easier than mucking about with Calendar and constants

System.out.println(dateTime);

If you still need to use java.util.Date objects before/after this conversion, the Joda DateTime API provides some easy toDate() and toCalendar() methods for easy translation.

The Joda API provides so much more in the way of convenience over the Java Date/Calendar API.

Why there is this "clear" class before footer?

A class in HTML means that in order to set attributes to it in CSS, you simply need to add a period in front of it.
For example, the CSS code of that html code may be:

.clear {     height: 50px;     width: 25px; } 

Also, if you, as suggested by abiessu, are attempting to add the CSS clear: both; attribute to the div to prevent anything from floating to the left or right of this div, you can use this CSS code:

.clear {     clear: both; } 

How to check if a String contains any letter from a to z?

How to check visibility of software keyboard in Android?

A method that doesn't need a LayoutListener

In my case, I would like to save the state of the keyboard before replacing my Fragment. I call the method hideSoftInputFromWindow from onSaveInstanceState, which closes the keyboard and returns me whether the keyboard was visible or not.

This method is straightforward but may change the state of your keyboard.

Correct redirect URI for Google API and OAuth 2.0

There's no problem with using a localhost url for Dev work - obviously it needs to be changed when it comes to production.

You need to go here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2 and then follow the link for the API Console - link's in the Basic Steps section. When you've filled out the new application form you'll be asked to provide a redirect Url. Put in the page you want to go to once access has been granted.

When forming the Google oAuth Url - you need to include the redirect url - it has to be an exact match or you'll have problems. It also needs to be UrlEncoded.

Extract matrix column values by matrix column name

Yes. But place your "test" after the comma if you want the column...

> A <- matrix(sample(1:12,12,T),ncol=4)

> rownames(A) <- letters[1:3]

> colnames(A) <- letters[11:14]
> A[,"l"]
 a  b  c

CSV file written with Python has blank lines between each row

In Python 2, open outfile with mode 'wb' instead of 'w'. The csv.writer writes \r\n into the file directly. If you don't open the file in binary mode, it will write \r\r\n because on Windows text mode will translate each \n into \r\n.

In Python 3 the required syntax changed (see documentation links below), so open outfile with the additional parameter newline='' (empty string) instead.

Examples:

# Python 2
with open('/pythonwork/thefile_subset11.csv', 'wb') as outfile:
    writer = csv.writer(outfile)

# Python 3
with open('/pythonwork/thefile_subset11.csv', 'w', newline='') as outfile:
    writer = csv.writer(outfile)

Retrofit 2 - URL Query Parameter

If you specify @GET("foobar?a=5"), then any @Query("b") must be appended using &, producing something like foobar?a=5&b=7.

If you specify @GET("foobar"), then the first @Query must be appended using ?, producing something like foobar?b=7.

That's how Retrofit works.

When you specify @GET("foobar?"), Retrofit thinks you already gave some query parameter, and appends more query parameters using &.

Remove the ?, and you will get the desired result.

  • Exactly 30 days ago: -ctime 30

Move the most recent commit(s) to a new branch with Git

You can do this is just 3 simple step that i used.

1) make new branch where you want to commit you recent update.

git branch <branch name>

2) Find Recent Commit Id for commit on new branch.

git log

3) Copy that commit id note that Most Recent commit list take place on top. so you can find your commit. you also find this via message.

git cherry-pick d34bcef232f6c...

you can also provide some rang of commit id.

git cherry-pick d34bcef...86d2aec

Now your job done. If you picked correct id and correct branch then you will success. So before do this be careful. else another problem can occur.

Now you can push your code

git push

How do you clear the console screen in C?

This should work. Then just call cls(); whenever you want to clear the screen.

(using the method suggested before.)

#include <stdio.h>

Better, for GitLab I use a second "origin", say "origin2":

git remote add origin2 ...
then

git push origin2 master

The conventional (short) git push should work implicitly as with the 1st "origin"

What is meant by the term "hook" in programming?

Simple said:

A hook is a means of executing custom code (function) either before, after, or instead of existing code. For example, a function may be written to "hook" into the login process in order to execute a Captcha function before continuing on to the normal login process.

Properties file with a list as the value for an individual key

Create a wrapper around properties and assume your A value has keys A.1, A.2, etc. Then when asked for A your wrapper will read all the A.* items and build the list. HTH

Replace all occurrences of a string in a data frame

Here is a dplyr solution

library(dplyr)
library(stringr)

Censor_consistently <-  function(x){
  str_replace(x, '^\\s*([<>])\\s*(\\d+)', '\\1\\2')
}


test_df <- tibble(x = c('0.001', '<0.002', ' < 0.003', ' >  100'),  y = 4:1)

mutate_all(test_df, funs(Censor_consistently))

# A tibble: 4 × 2
x     y
<chr> <chr>
1  0.001     4
2 <0.002     3
3 <0.003     2
4   >100     1

Same Navigation Drawer in different Activities

My answer is just a conceptual one without any source code. It might be useful for some readers like myself to understand.

It depends on your initial approach on how you architecture your app. There are basically two approaches.

  1. You create one activity (base activity) and all the other views and screens will be fragments. That base activity contains the implementation for Drawer and Coordinator Layouts. It is actually my preferred way of doing because having small self-contained fragments will make app development easier and smoother.

  2. If you have started your app development with activities, one for each screen , then you will probably create base activity, and all other activity extends from it. The base activity will contain the code for drawer and coordinator implementation. Any activity that needs drawer implementation can extend from base activity.

I would personally prefer avoiding to use fragments and activities mixed without any organizing. That makes the development more difficult and get you stuck eventually. If you have done it, refactor your code.

MySQL Incorrect datetime value: '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

If you are entering the data manually you may consider removing the values and the zeros on the TIMESTAMP(6).000000 so that it becomes TIMESTAMP. That worked fine with me.

How to change the font size on a matplotlib plot

Here is a totally different approach that works surprisingly well to change the font sizes:

Change the figure size!

I usually use code like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(4,3))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
x = np.linspace(0,6.28,21)
ax.plot(x, np.sin(x), '-^', label="1 Hz")
ax.set_title("Oscillator Output")
ax.set_xlabel("Time (s)")
ax.set_ylabel("Output (V)")
ax.grid(True)
ax.legend(loc=1)
fig.savefig('Basic.png', dpi=300)

The smaller you make the figure size, the larger the font is relative to the plot. This also upscales the markers. Note I also set the dpi or dot per inch. I learned this from a posting the AMTA (American Modeling Teacher of America) forum. Example from above code: enter image description here

Can't bind to 'ngIf' since it isn't a known property of 'div'

Just for anyone who still has an issue, I also had an issue where I typed ngif rather than ngIf (notice the capital 'I').

                connection.Open();

                Console.WriteLine("MySQL version: " + connection.ServerVersion);
                connection.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex);
            }
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

make sure your database server is running if its not running then its not able to make connection and bydefault mysql running on 3306 so don't need mention port if same in case of port number is different then we need to mention port

CMake complains "The CXX compiler identification is unknown"

Your /home/gnu/bin/c++ seem to require additional flag to link things properly and CMake doesn't know about that.

To use /usr/bin/c++ as your compiler run cmake with -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/c++.

Also, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable sets destination dir where your project' files should be installed. It has nothing to do with CMake installation prefix and CMake itself already know this.

Bitwise operation and usage

This example will show you the operations for all four 2 bit values:

10 | 12

1010 #decimal 10
1100 #decimal 12

1110 #result = 14

10 & 12

1010 #decimal 10
1100 #decimal 12

1000 #result = 8

Here is one example of usage:

x = raw_input('Enter a number:')
print 'x is %s.' % ('even', 'odd')[x&1]

Regex for checking if a string is strictly alphanumeric

100% alphanumeric RegEx (it contains only alphanumeric, not even integers & characters, only alphanumeric)

For example:

123 (not allowed)
asdf (not allowed)
1235asdf (allowed)


String name="^[^<a-zA-Z>]\\d*[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\\d]*$";

Java Multithreading concept and join() method

The JVM and the underlying OS have considerable freedom when scheduling things. The fact that you get all the way to "Waiting for threads to finish" before you see the output from individual threads may simply mean that thread start-up takes a bit longer (i.e. it takes some time between the moment when a thread becomes "alive" and when the run() method actually starts executing). You could conceivably see thread output sooner but it's not guaranteed either way.

As for join(), it only guarantees that whatever is after it will only happen once the thread you are joining is done. So when you have three join() calls in a row it doesn't mean the threads should end in a particular order. It simply means that you will wait for ob1 first. Once ob1 finishes, ob2 and ob3 may be still running or they may already be finished. If they are finished, your other join() calls will return immediately.

synchronized is used specifically when multiple threads access the same object and make changes to it. A synchronized block is guaranteed never to be executed by two threads simultaneously - i.e. the thread that executes it has the synchronized object all to itself.

How do I share a global variable between c files?

Use the extern keyword to declare the variable in the other .c file. E.g.:

extern int counter;

means that the actual storage is located in another file. It can be used for both variables and function prototypes.

How can I maintain fragment state when added to the back stack?

I came across this problem in a Fragment containing a map, which has too many setup details to save/reload. My solution was to basically keep this Fragment active the whole time (similar to what @kaushal mentioned).

Say you have current Fragment A and wants to display Fragment B. Summarizing the consequences:

  • replace() - remove Fragment A and replace it with Fragment B. Fragment A will be recreated once brought to the front again
  • add() - (create and) add a Fragment B and it overlap Fragment A, which is still active in the background
  • remove() - can be used to remove Fragment B and return to A. Fragment B will be recreated when called later on

Hence, if you want to keep both Fragments "saved", just toggle them using hide()/show().

Pros: easy and simple method to keep multiple Fragments running
Cons: you use a lot more memory to keep all of them running. May run into problems, e.g. displaying many large bitmaps

The differences between initialize, define, declare a variable

Declaration says "this thing exists somewhere":

int foo();       // function
extern int bar;  // variable
struct T
{
   static int baz;  // static member variable
};

Definition says "this thing exists here; make memory for it":

int foo() {}     // function
int bar;         // variable
int T::baz;      // static member variable

Initialisation is optional at the point of definition for objects, and says "here is the initial value for this thing":

int bar = 0;     // variable
int T::baz = 42; // static member variable

Sometimes it's possible at the point of declaration instead:

struct T
{
   static int baz = 42;
};

…but that's getting into more complex features.

Easy way to export multiple data.frame to multiple Excel worksheets

You can also use the openxlsx library to export multiple datasets to multiple sheets in a single workbook.The advantage of openxlsx over xlsx is that openxlsx removes the dependencies on java libraries.

Write a list of data.frames to individual worksheets using list names as worksheet names.

require(openxlsx)
list_of_datasets <- list("Name of DataSheet1" = dataframe1, "Name of Datasheet2" = dataframe2)
write.xlsx(list_of_datasets, file = "writeXLSX2.xlsx")

How to add a char/int to an char array in C?

strcat has the declaration:

char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src)

It expects 2 strings. While this compiles:

char str[1024] = "Hello World";
char tmp = '.';

strcat(str, tmp);

It will cause bad memory issues because strcat is looking for a null terminated cstring. You can do this:

char str[1024] = "Hello World";
char tmp[2] = ".";

strcat(str, tmp);

Live example.

If you really want to append a char you will need to make your own function. Something like this:

void append(char* s, char c) {
        int len = strlen(s);
        s[len] = c;
        s[len+1] = '\0';
}

append(str, tmp)

Of course you may also want to check your string size etc to make it memory safe.

How do you create a REST client for Java?

I use Apache HTTPClient to handle all the HTTP side of things.

I write XML SAX parsers for the XML content that parses the XML into your object model. I believe that Axis2 also exposes XML -> Model methods (Axis 1 hid this part, annoyingly). XML generators are trivially simple.

It doesn't take long to code, and is quite efficient, in my opinion.

Center content in responsive bootstrap navbar

The original post was asking how to center the collapsed navbar. To center elements on the normal navbar, try this:

.navbar-nav {
    float:none;
    margin:0 auto;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}

.navbar-nav > li {
    display: inline-block;
    float:none;
}

Bulk Insert to Oracle using .NET

SQL Server's SQLBulkCopy is blindingly fast. Unfortunately, I found that OracleBulkCopy is far slower. Also it has problems:

  • You must be very sure that your input data is clean if you plan to use OracleBulkCopy. If a primary key violation occurs, an ORA-26026 is raised and it appears to be unrecoverable. Trying to rebuild the index does not help and any subsequent insert on the table fails, also normal inserts.
  • Even if the data is clean, I found that OracleBulkCopy sometimes gets stuck inside WriteToServer. The problem seems to depend on the batch size. In my test data, the problem would happen at the exact same point in my test when I repeat is. Use a larger or smaller batch size, and the problem does not happen. I see that the speed is more irregular on larger batch sizes, this points to problems related to memory management.

Actually System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataAdapter is faster than OracleBulkCopy if you want to fill a table with small records but many rows. You need to tune the batch size though, the optimum BatchSize for OracleDataAdapter is smaller than for OracleBulkCopy.

I ran my test on a Windows 7 machine with an x86 executable and the 32 bits ODP.Net client 2.112.1.0. . The OracleDataAdapter is part of System.Data.OracleClient 2.0.0.0. My test set is about 600,000 rows with a record size of max. 102 bytes (average size 43 chars). Data source is a 25 MB text file, read in line by line as a stream.

In my test I built up the input data table to a fixed table size and then used either OracleBulkCopy or OracleDataAdapter to copy the data block to the server. I left BatchSize as 0 in OracleBulkCopy (so that the current table contents is copied as one batch) and set it to the table size in OracleDataAdapter (again that should create a single batch internally). Best results:

  • OracleBulkCopy: table size = 500, total duration 4'22"
  • OracleDataAdapter: table size = 100, total duration 3'03"

For comparison:

  • SqlBulkCopy: table size = 1000, total duration 0'15"
  • SqlDataAdapter: table size = 1000, total duration 8'05"

Same client machine, test server is SQL Server 2008 R2. For SQL Server, bulk copy is clearly the best way to go. Not only is it overall fastest, but server load is also lower than when using data adapter. It is a pity that OracleBulkCopy does not offer quite the same experience - the BulkCopy API is much easier to use than DataAdapter.

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

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

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

or

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

How to make padding:auto work in CSS?

if you're goal is to reset EVERYTHING then @Björn's answer should be your goal but applied as:

* {
  padding: initial;
}

if this is loaded after your original reset.css should have the same weight and will rely on each browser's default padding as initial value.

How do I get monitor resolution in Python?

In case you have PyQt4 installed, try the following code:

from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sys

MyApp = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
V = MyApp.desktop().screenGeometry()
h = V.height()
w = V.width()
print("The screen resolution (width X height) is the following:")
print(str(w) + "X" + str(h))

For PyQt5, the following will work:

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
import sys

MyApp = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
V = MyApp.desktop().screenGeometry()
h = V.height()
w = V.width()
print("The screen resolution (width X height) is the following:")
print(str(w) + "X" + str(h))

File 'app/hero.ts' is not a module error in the console, where to store interfaces files in directory structure with angular2?

The tutorial has you putting all components and the interface file in the same directory hence the relative import './hero' if you want to move it elsewhere you need to change this.

Edit: The code may still work but the compiler will complain because you are attempting an import from an incorrect location. I'd simply change the import based on your structure. For example:

app/
  component1/
    component1.ts
  compnent2/
    component2.ts
  hero.ts

I would simply change the import to import {Hero} from '../hero'.

React onClick function fires on render

JSX will evaluate JavaScript expressions in curly braces

In this case, this.props.removeTaskFunction(todo) is invoked and the return value is assigned to onClick

What you have to provide for onClick is a function. To do this, you can wrap the value in an anonymous function.

export const samepleComponent = ({todoTasks, removeTaskFunction}) => {
    const taskNodes = todoTasks.map(todo => (
                <div>
                    {todo.task}
                    <button type="submit" onClick={() => removeTaskFunction(todo)}>Submit</button>
                </div>
            );
    return (
        <div className="todo-task-list">
            {taskNodes}
        </div>
        );
    }
});

HTML5 Canvas Rotate Image

Why not do it for the entire page. At page load detect all images and continuously rotate all of them.

How do I use Comparator to define a custom sort order?

Define one Enum Type as

public enum Colors {
     BLUE, SILVER, MAGENTA, RED
}

Change data type of color from String to Colors Change return type and argument type of getter and setter method of color to Colors

Define comparator type as follows

static class ColorComparator implements Comparator<CarSort>
{
    public int compare(CarSort c1, CarSort c2)
    {
        return c1.getColor().compareTo(c2.getColor());
    }
}

after adding elements to List, call sort method of Collection by passing list and comparator objects as arguments

i.e, Collections.sort(carList, new ColorComparator()); then print using ListIterator.

full class implementation is as follows:

package test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;    
import java.util.ListIterator;

public class CarSort implements Comparable<CarSort>{

    String name;
    Colors color;

    public CarSort(String name, Colors color){
        this.name = name;
        this.color = color;
    } 

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public Colors getColor() {
        return color;
    }
    public void setColor(Colors color) {
        this.color = color;
    }

    //Implement the natural order for this class
    public int compareTo(CarSort c)
    {
        return getName().compareTo(c.getName());
    }

    static class ColorComparator implements Comparator<CarSort>
    {
        public int compare(CarSort c1, CarSort c2)
        {
            return c1.getColor().compareTo(c2.getColor());
        }
    }

    public enum Colors {
         BLUE, SILVER, MAGENTA, RED
    }

     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         List<CarSort> carList = new ArrayList<CarSort>();
         List<String> sortOrder = new ArrayList<String>();

         carList.add(new CarSort("Ford Figo",Colors.SILVER));
         carList.add(new CarSort("Santro",Colors.BLUE));
         carList.add(new CarSort("Honda Jazz",Colors.MAGENTA));
         carList.add(new CarSort("Indigo V2",Colors.RED));
         Collections.sort(carList, new ColorComparator());

         ListIterator<CarSort> itr=carList.listIterator();
         while (itr.hasNext()) {
            CarSort carSort = (CarSort) itr.next();
            System.out.println("Car colors: "+carSort.getColor());
        }
     }
}

How to read the value of a private field from a different class in Java?

You can use jOOR for that.

class Foo {
    private final String value = "ABC";
}
class Bar {
    private final Foo foo = new Foo();
    public String value() {
        return org.joor.Reflect
            .on(this.foo)
            .field("value")
            .get();
    }
}
class BarTest {
    @Test
    void accessPrivateField() {
        Assertions.assertEquals(new Bar().value(), "ABC");
    }

Both of these classes are smart pointers, which means that they automatically (in most cases) will deallocate the object that they point at when that object can no longer be referenced. The difference between the two is how many different pointers of each type can refer to a resource.

When using unique_ptr, there can be at most one unique_ptr pointing at any one resource. When that unique_ptr is destroyed, the resource is automatically reclaimed. Because there can only be one unique_ptr to any resource, any attempt to make a copy of a unique_ptr will cause a compile-time error. For example, this code is illegal:

unique_ptr<T> myPtr(new T);       // Okay
unique_ptr<T> myOtherPtr = myPtr; // Error: Can't copy unique_ptr

However, unique_ptr can be moved using the new move semantics:

unique_ptr<T> myPtr(new T);                  // Okay
unique_ptr<T> myOtherPtr = std::move(myPtr); // Okay, resource now stored in myOtherPtr

Similarly, you can do something like this:

unique_ptr<T> MyFunction() {
    unique_ptr<T> myPtr(/* ... */);

    /* ... */

    return myPtr;
}

This idiom means "I'm returning a managed resource to you. If you don't explicitly capture the return value, then the resource will be cleaned up. If you do, then you now have exclusive ownership of that resource." In this way, you can think of unique_ptr as a safer, better replacement for auto_ptr.

shared_ptr, on the other hand, allows for multiple pointers to point at a given resource. When the very last shared_ptr to a resource is destroyed, the resource will be deallocated. For example, this code is perfectly legal:

shared_ptr<T> myPtr(new T);       // Okay
shared_ptr<T> myOtherPtr = myPtr; // Sure!  Now have two pointers to the resource.

Internally, shared_ptr uses reference counting to track how many pointers refer to a resource, so you need to be careful not to introduce any reference cycles.

In short:

  1. Use unique_ptr when you want a single pointer to an object that will be reclaimed when that single pointer is destroyed.
  2. Use shared_ptr when you want multiple pointers to the same resource.

Hope this helps!

Combine multiple JavaScript files into one JS file

I usually have it on a Makefile:

# All .js compiled into a single one.
compiled=./path/of/js/main.js

compile:
    @find ./path/of/js -type f -name "*.js" | xargs cat > $(compiled)

Then you run:

make compile

I hope it helps.

How to create a POJO?

When you aren't doing anything to make your class particularly designed to work with a given framework, ORM, or other system that needs a special sort of class, you have a Plain Old Java Object, or POJO.

Ironically, one of the reasons for coining the term is that people were avoiding them in cases where they were sensible and some people concluded that this was because they didn't have a fancy name. Ironic, because your question demonstrates that the approach worked.

Compare the older POD "Plain Old Data" to mean a C++ class that doesn't do anything a C struct couldn't do (more or less, non-virtual members that aren't destructors or trivial constructors don't stop it being considered POD), and the newer (and more directly comparable) POCO "Plain Old CLR Object" in .NET.

Use of "global" keyword in Python

While you can access global variables without the global keyword, if you want to modify them you have to use the global keyword. For example:

foo = 1
def test():
    foo = 2 # new local foo

def blub():
    global foo
    foo = 3 # changes the value of the global foo

In your case, you're just accessing the list sub.

Eclipse memory settings when getting "Java Heap Space" and "Out of Memory"

If you see an out of memory, consider if that is plausible: Do you really need that much memory? If not (i.e. when you don't have huge objects and if you don't need to create millions of objects for some reason), chances are that you have a memory leak.

In Java, this means that you're keeping a reference to an object somewhere even though you don't need it anymore. Common causes for this is forgetting to call close() on resources (files, DB connections, statements and result sets, etc.).

If you suspect a memory leak, use a profiler to find which object occupies all the available memory.

Fixed point vs Floating point number

From my understanding, fixed-point arithmetic is done using integers. where the decimal part is stored in a fixed amount of bits, or the number is multiplied by how many digits of decimal precision is needed.

For example, If the number 12.34 needs to be stored and we only need two digits of precision after the decimal point, the number is multiplied by 100 to get 1234. When performing math on this number, we'd use this rule set. Adding 5620 or 56.20 to this number would yield 6854 in data or 68.54.

If we want to calculate the decimal part of a fixed-point number, we use the modulo (%) operand.

12.34 (pseudocode):

v1 = 1234 / 100 // get the whole number
v2 = 1234 % 100 // get the decimal number (100ths of a whole).
print v1 + "." + v2 // "12.34"

Floating point numbers are a completely different story in programming. The current standard for floating point numbers use something like 23 bits for the data of the number, 8 bits for the exponent, and 1 but for sign. See this Wikipedia link for more information on this.

What do 1.#INF00, -1.#IND00 and -1.#IND mean?

For those of you in a .NET environment the following can be a handy way to filter non-numbers out (this example is in VB.NET, but it's probably similar in C#):

If Double.IsNaN(MyVariableName) Then
    MyVariableName = 0 ' Or whatever you want to do here to "correct" the situation
End If

If you try to use a variable that has a NaN value you will get the following error:

Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.

user authentication libraries for node.js?

A word of caution regarding handrolled approaches:

I'm disappointed to see that some of the suggested code examples in this post do not protect against such fundamental authentication vulnerabilities such as session fixation or timing attacks.

Contrary to several suggestions here, authentication is not simple and handrolling a solution is not always trivial. I would recommend passportjs and bcrypt.

If you do decide to handroll a solution however, have a look at the express js provided example for inspiration.

Good luck.

How to dynamically change header based on AngularJS partial view?

Custom Event Based solution inspired from Michael Bromley

I wasn't able to make it work with $scope, so I tried with rootScope, maybe a bit more dirty... (especially if you make a refresh on the page that do not register the event)

But I really like the idea of how things are loosely coupled.

I'm using angularjs 1.6.9

index.run.js

angular
.module('myApp')
.run(runBlock);

function runBlock($rootScope, ...)
{
  $rootScope.$on('title-updated', function(event, newTitle) {
    $rootScope.pageTitle = 'MyApp | ' + newTitle;
  });
}

anyController.controller.js

angular
.module('myApp')
.controller('MainController', MainController);

function MainController($rootScope, ...)
{
  //simple way :
  $rootScope.$emit('title-updated', 'my new title');

  // with data from rest call
  TroncQueteurResource.get({id:tronc_queteur_id}).$promise.then(function(tronc_queteur){
  vm.current.tronc_queteur = tronc_queteur;

  $rootScope.$emit('title-updated', moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD') + ' - Tronc '+vm.current.tronc_queteur.id+' - ' +
                                             vm.current.tronc_queteur.point_quete.name + ' - '+
                                             vm.current.tronc_queteur.queteur.first_name +' '+vm.current.tronc_queteur.queteur.last_name
  );
 });

 ....}

index.html

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title ng-bind="pageTitle">My App</title>

It's working for me :)


CSS filter: make color image with transparency white

You can use

filter: brightness(0) invert(1);

_x000D_
_x000D_
html {_x000D_
  background: red;_x000D_
}_x000D_
p {_x000D_
  float: left;_x000D_
  max-width: 50%;_x000D_
  text-align: center;_x000D_
}_x000D_
img {_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  max-width: 100%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.filter {_x000D_
  -webkit-filter: brightness(0) invert(1);_x000D_
  filter: brightness(0) invert(1);_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>_x000D_
  Original:_x000D_
  <img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/jO8jP.gif" />_x000D_
</p>_x000D_
<p>_x000D_
  Filter:_x000D_
  <img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/jO8jP.gif" class="filter" />_x000D_
</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

First, brightness(0) makes all image black, except transparent parts, which remain transparent.

Then, invert(1) makes the black parts white.

Are SSL certificates bound to the servers ip address?

SSL certificates are bound to a 'common name', which is usually a fully qualified domain name but can be a wildcard name (eg. *.domain.com) or even an IP address, but it usually isn't.

In your case, you are accessing your LDAP server by a hostname and it sounds like your two LDAP servers have different SSL certificates installed. Are you able to view (or download and view) the details of the SSL certificate? Each SSL certificate will have a unique serial numbers and fingerprint which will need to match. I assume the certificate is being rejected as these details don't match with what's in your certificate store.

Your solution will be to ensure that both LDAP servers have the same SSL certificate installed.

BTW - you can normally override DNS entries on your workstation by editing a local 'hosts' file, but I wouldn't recommend this.

Using AJAX to pass variable to PHP and retrieve those using AJAX again

you have to pass values with the single quotes

$(document).ready(function() {    
    $("#raaagh").click(function(){    
        $.ajax({
            url: 'ajax.php', //This is the current doc
            type: "POST",
            data: ({name: '145'}), //variables should be pass like this
            success: function(data){
                console.log(data);
                           }
        });  
        $.ajax({
    url:'ajax.php',
    data:"",
    dataType:'json',
    success:function(data1){
            var y1=data1;
            console.log(data1);
            }
        });

    });
});

try it it may work.......

What precisely does 'Run as administrator' do?

The Run as *Anything command saves you from logging out and logging in as the user for which you use the runas command for.

The reason programs ask for this elevated privilege started with Black Comb and the Panther folder. There is 0 access to the Kernel in windows unless through the Admin prompt and then it is only a virtual relation with the O/S kernel.

Hoorah!

How to convert enum names to string in c

A function like that without validating the enum is a trifle dangerous. I suggest using a switch statement. Another advantage is that this can be used for enums that have defined values, for example for flags where the values are 1,2,4,8,16 etc.

Also put all your enum strings together in one array:-

static const char * allEnums[] = {
    "Undefined",
    "apple",
    "orange"
    /* etc */
};

define the indices in a header file:-

#define ID_undefined       0
#define ID_fruit_apple     1
#define ID_fruit_orange    2
/* etc */

Doing this makes it easier to produce different versions, for example if you want to make international versions of your program with other languages.

Using a macro, also in the header file:-

#define CASE(type,val) case val: index = ID_##type##_##val; break;

Make a function with a switch statement, this should return a const char * because the strings static consts:-

const char * FruitString(enum fruit e){

    unsigned int index;

    switch(e){
        CASE(fruit, apple)
        CASE(fruit, orange)
        CASE(fruit, banana)
        /* etc */
        default: index = ID_undefined;
    }
    return allEnums[index];
}

If programming with Windows then the ID_ values can be resource values.

(If using C++ then all the functions can have the same name.

string EnumToString(fruit e);

)

How to avoid "Permission denied" when using pip with virtualenv

While creating virtualenv if you use sudo the directory is created with root privileges.So when you try to install a package with non-sudo user you won't have permission to install into it. So always create virtualenv without sudo and install without sudo.

You can also copy packages installed on global python to virtualenv.

cp -r /lib/python/site-packages/* virtualenv/lib/python/site-packages/

React Native: How to select the next TextInput after pressing the "next" keyboard button?

You can do this without using refs. This approach is preferred, since refs can lead to fragile code. The React docs advise finding other solutions where possible:

If you have not programmed several apps with React, your first inclination is usually going to be to try to use refs to "make things happen" in your app. If this is the case, take a moment and think more critically about where state should be owned in the component hierarchy. Often, it becomes clear that the proper place to "own" that state is at a higher level in the hierarchy. Placing the state there often eliminates any desire to use refs to "make things happen" – instead, the data flow will usually accomplish your goal.

Instead, we'll use a state variable to focus the second input field.

  1. Add a state variable that we'll pass as a prop to the DescriptionInput:

    initialState() {
      return {
        focusDescriptionInput: false,
      };
    }
    
  2. Define a handler method that will set this state variable to true:

    handleTitleInputSubmit() {
      this.setState(focusDescriptionInput: true);
    }
    
  3. Upon submitting / hitting enter / next on the TitleInput, we'll call handleTitleInputSubmit. This will set focusDescriptionInput to true.

    <TextInput 
       style = {styles.titleInput}
       returnKeyType = {"next"}
       autoFocus = {true}
       placeholder = "Title" 
       onSubmitEditing={this.handleTitleInputSubmit}
    />
    
  4. DescriptionInput's focus prop is set to our focusDescriptionInput state variable. So, when focusDescriptionInput changes (in step 3), DescriptionInput will re-render with focus={true}.

    <TextInput
       style = {styles.descriptionInput}          
       multiline = {true}
       maxLength = {200}
       placeholder = "Description" 
       focus={this.state.focusDescriptionInput}
    />
    

This is a nice way to avoid using refs, since refs can lead to more fragile code :)

EDIT: h/t to @LaneRettig for pointing out that you'll need to wrap the React Native TextInput with some added props & methods to get it to respond to focus:

    // Props:
    static propTypes = { 
        focus: PropTypes.bool,
    } 

    static defaultProps = { 
        focus: false,
    } 

    // Methods:
    focus() {
        this._component.focus(); 
    } 

    componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
        const {focus} = nextProps; 

        focus && this.focus(); 
    }

Argument Exception "Item with Same Key has already been added"

If you want "insert or replace" semantics, use this syntax:

A[key] = value;     // <-- insert or replace semantics

It's more efficient and readable than calls involving "ContainsKey()" or "Remove()" prior to "Add()".

So in your case:

rct3Features[items[0]] = items[1];

Missing Microsoft RDLC Report Designer in Visual Studio

In VS 2017, i have checked SQL Server Data Tools during the installation and it doesn't help. So I have downloaded and installed Microsoft.RdlcDesigner.vsix

Now it works.

UPDATE

Another way is to use Extensions and Updates.

Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates choose Online then search for Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual studio and click Download. It need to close VS to start installation. After installation you will be able to use rdlc designer.

Hope this helps!

const to Non-const Conversion in C++

The actual code to cast away the const-ness of your pointer would be:

BoxT<T> * nonConstObj = const_cast<BoxT<T> *>(constObj);

But note that this really is cheating. A better solution would either be to figure out why you want to modify a const object, and redesign your code so you don't have to.... or remove the const declaration from your vector, if it turns out you don't really want those items to be read-only after all.

How do I add Git version control (Bitbucket) to an existing source code folder?

You can init a Git directory in an directory containing other files. After that you can add files to the repository and commit there.

Create a project with some code:

$ mkdir my_project
$ cd my_project
$ echo "foobar" > some_file

Then, while inside the project's folder, do an initial commit:

$ git init
$ git add some_file
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

Then for using Bitbucket or such you add a remote and push up:

$ git remote add some_name user@host:repo
$ git push some_name

You also might then want to configure tracking branches, etc. See git remote set-branches and related commands for that.

How to stop (and restart) the Rails Server?

On OSX, you can take advantage of the UNIX-like command line - here's what I keep handy in my .bashrc to enable me to more easily restart a server that's running in background (-d) mode (note that you have to be in the Rails root directory when running this):

alias restart_rails='kill -9 `cat tmp/pids/server.pid`; rails server -d'

My initial response to the comment by @zane about how the PID file isn't removed was that it might be behavior dependent on the Rails version or OS type. However, it's also possible that the shell runs the second command (rails server -d) sooner than the kill can actually cause the previous running instance to stop.

So alternatively, kill -9 cat tmp/pids/server.pid && rails server -d might be more robust; or you can specifically run the kill, wait for the tmp/pids folder to empty out, then restart your new server.

Call php function from JavaScript

How to create a BKS (BouncyCastle) format Java Keystore that contains a client certificate chain

Your command for creating the BKS keystore looks correct for me.

How do you initialize the keystore.

You need to craeate and pass your own SSLSocketFactory. Here is an example which uses Apache's org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory

But I think you can do pretty the same on the javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory

    private SSLSocketFactory newSslSocketFactory() {
    try {
        // Get an instance of the Bouncy Castle KeyStore format
        KeyStore trusted = KeyStore.getInstance("BKS");
        // Get the raw resource, which contains the keystore with
        // your trusted certificates (root and any intermediate certs)
        InputStream in = context.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.mykeystore);
        try {
            // Initialize the keystore with the provided trusted certificates
            // Also provide the password of the keystore
            trusted.load(in, "testtest".toCharArray());
        } finally {
            in.close();
        }
        // Pass the keystore to the SSLSocketFactory. The factory is responsible
        // for the verification of the server certificate.
        SSLSocketFactory sf = new SSLSocketFactory(trusted);
        // Hostname verification from certificate
        // http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/connmgmt.html#d4e506
        sf.setHostnameVerifier(SSLSocketFactory.STRICT_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
        return sf;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new AssertionError(e);
    }
}

Please let me know if it worked.

"Too many values to unpack" Exception

That exception means that you are trying to unpack a tuple, but the tuple has too many values with respect to the number of target variables. For example: this work, and prints 1, then 2, then 3

def returnATupleWithThreeValues():
    return (1,2,3)
a,b,c = returnATupleWithThreeValues()
print a
print b
print c

But this raises your error

def returnATupleWithThreeValues():
    return (1,2,3)
a,b = returnATupleWithThreeValues()
print a
print b

raises

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c.py", line 3, in ?
    a,b = returnATupleWithThreeValues()
ValueError: too many values to unpack

Now, the reason why this happens in your case, I don't know, but maybe this answer will point you in the right direction.

Rounding a double value to x number of decimal places in swift

if you want after the comma there is only 0 for the round, look at this example below :

extension Double {

            return self
        }
    }
}

let toInt: Double = 10.0
let stillDouble: Double = 9.12

print(toInt.isInteger) // 10
print(stillDouble.isInteger) // 9.12

  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    fn(...args, (err, data) => {
      if (err) {
        return reject(err);
      }
      resolve(data);
    });
  });
};

How to use it

   promisify(fn, arg1, arg2)

You are probably not looking to this answer, but this will help understand the inner workings of the available utils

Remove the string on the beginning of an URL

If the string has always the same format, a simple substr() should suffice.

var newString = originalStrint.substr(4)

Best approach to converting Boolean object to string in java

If this is for the purpose of getting a constant "true" value, rather than "True" or "TRUE", you can use this:

Boolean.TRUE.toString();
Boolean.FALSE.toString();

IN Clause with NULL or IS NULL

SELECT *
FROM tbl_name
WHERE coalesce(id_field,'unik_null_value') 
IN ('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'unik_null_value')

So that you eliminate the null from the check. Given a null value in id_field, the coalesce function would instead of null return 'unik_null_value', and by adding 'unik_null_value to the IN-list, the query would return posts where id_field is value1-3 or null.

What does void* mean and how to use it?

Using a void * means that the function can take a pointer that doesn't need to be a specific type. For example, in socket functions, you have

send(void * pData, int nLength)

this means you can call it in many ways, for example

char * data = "blah";
send(data, strlen(data));

POINT p;
p.x = 1;
p.y = 2;
send(&p, sizeof(POINT));

Get file name from URL

I have the same problem, with yours. I solved it by this:

var URL = window.location.pathname; // Gets page name
var page = URL.substring(URL.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); 
console.info(page)

CSS div element - how to show horizontal scroll bars only?

you can also make it overflow: auto and give a maximum fixed height and width that way, when the text or whatever is in there, overflows it'll show only the required scrollbar

How can I create a simple index.html file which lists all files/directories?

There are enough valid reasons to explicitly disable automatic directory indexes in apache or other web servers. Or, for example, you might only want to include certain file types in the index. In such cases you might still want to have a statically generated index.html file for specific folders.

tree

tree is a minimalistic utility that is available on most unix-like systems (ubuntu/debian: sudo apt install tree, mac: brew install tree, windows: zip) and which can generate plain text, XML, JSON or HTML output.

Generate an HTML directory index one level deep:

tree -H '.' -L 1 --noreport --charset utf-8 > index.html

Only include specific file types that match a glob pattern, e.g. *.zip files:

tree -H '.' -L 1 --noreport --charset utf-8 -P "*.zip" > index.html

The argument to -H is what will be used as a base href, so you can pass either a relative path such as . or an absolute path from the web root, such as /files. -L 1 limits the listing to the current directory only.

Generator script with recursive traversal

I needed an index generator which I could style the way I want, and which would also include the file sizes, so ended up using this script — in addition to having customizable styling, the script can also recursively generate an index.html file in all the nested subdirectories.

Update: an updated version (python 3) of the index generation script that uses cleaner styling (inspired by caddyserver's file-server module), includes last modified times and is more responsive in mobile viewports.

UML diagram shapes missing on Visio 2013

I had the same problem with Visio 2016. I have the standard license. I think it is very strange that you can select a "UML Sequence" template when you search for it but it then opens a blank canvas without shapes. So you don't see anything and can't select the shapes under the "More Shapes" window on the side.

So I searched the shapes in the installation directory of Visio. I found in the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\Visio Content\1033 a couple of Sequence diagram templates (ie: BASIC_UMLSEQUENCE_M.VSTX). They are using the stencil USEQME_M.vssx. I found that out by right clicking the shapes in the left window and select "Save as". I saved them in "My Documents" under "My Shapes" just like custom shapes. I can than use them in any new document that I want.

Note the capital M or U in the name of the template or stencil for US Units or Metric Units. I'm from the Netherlands so I'm using the M version.

A not really friendly way to get the shapes. But it works.

"SDK Platform Tools component is missing!"

The downloaded sdk software does not contain sdk platform tools.

For this, using cmd go to "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools" directory and then type the following command to download those missing tools:

android.bat update sdk --no-ui 

Then type y to accept all the licenses in cmd. Downloading will start in cmd itself.

How to destroy a JavaScript object?

While the existing answers have given solutions to solve the issue and the second half of the question, they do not provide an answer to the self discovery aspect of the first half of the question that is in bold:

"How can I see which variable causes memory overhead...?"

It may not have been as robust 3 years ago, but the Chrome Developer Tools "Profiles" section is now quite powerful and feature rich. The Chrome team has an insightful article on using it and thus also how garbage collection (GC) works in javascript, which is at the core of this question.

Since delete is basically the root of the currently accepted answer by Yochai Akoka, it's important to remember what delete does. It's irrelevant if not combined with the concepts of how GC works in the next two answers: if there's an existing reference to an object it's not cleaned up. The answers are more correct, but probably not as appreciated because they require more thought than just writing 'delete'. Yes, one possible solution may be to use delete, but it won't matter if there's another reference to the memory leak.

Another answer appropriately mentions circular references and the Chrome team documentation can provide much more clarity as well as the tools to verify the cause.

Since delete was mentioned here, it also may be useful to provide the resource Understanding Delete. Although it does not get into any of the actual solution which is really related to javascript's garbage collector.

how to pass value from one php page to another using session

Solution using just POST - no $_SESSION

page1.php

<form action="page2.php" method="post">
    <textarea name="textarea1" id="textarea1"></textarea><br />
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

page2.php

<?php
    // this page outputs the contents of the textarea if posted
    $textarea1 = ""; // set var to avoid errors
    if(isset($_POST['textarea1'])){
        $textarea1 = $_POST['textarea1']
    }
?>
<textarea><?php echo $textarea1;?></textarea>

Solution using $_SESSION and POST

page1.php

<?php

    session_start(); // needs to be before anything else on page to use $_SESSION
    $textarea1 = "";
    if(isset($_POST['textarea1'])){
        $_SESSION['textarea1'] = $_POST['textarea1'];
    }

?>


<form action="page1.php" method="post">
    <textarea name="textarea1" id="textarea1"></textarea><br />
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<br /><br />
<a href="page2.php">Go to page2</a>

page2.php

<?php
    session_start(); // needs to be before anything else on page to use $_SESSION
    // this page outputs the textarea1 from the session IF it exists
    $textarea1 = ""; // set var to avoid errors
    if(isset($_SESSION['textarea1'])){
        $textarea1 = $_SESSION['textarea1']
    }
?>
<textarea><?php echo $textarea1;?></textarea>

Difference between adjustResize and adjustPan in android?

You can use android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize" in AndroidManifest.xml for your current activity, and use android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in styles or rootLayout.

Exploring Docker container's file system

I wanted to do this, but I was unable to exec into my container as it had stopped and wasn't starting up again due to some error in my code.

What worked for me was to simply copy the contents of the entire container into a new folder like this:

docker cp container_name:/app/ new_dummy_folder

I was then able to explore the contents of this folder as one would do with a normal folder.

How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP

It is because of this line:

printf ("Hi %s,</br />", $name);

You should not print/echo anything before sending the headers.

Where does Visual Studio look for C++ header files?

Visual Studio looks for headers in this order:

  • In the current source directory.
  • In the Additional Include Directories in the project properties (Project -> [project name] Properties, under C/C++ | General).
  • In the Visual Studio C++ Include directories under Tools ? Options ? Projects and Solutions ? VC++ Directories.
  • In new versions of Visual Studio (2015+) the above option is deprecated and a list of default include directories is available at Project Properties ? Configuration ? VC++ Directories

In your case, add the directory that the header is to the project properties (Project Properties ? Configuration ? C/C++ ? General ? Additional Include Directories).

How do I give text or an image a transparent background using CSS?

The problem is, that the text actually has full opacity in your example. It has full opacity inside the p tag, but the p tag is just semi-transparent.

You could add an semi-transparent PNG background image instead of realizing it in CSS, or separate text and div into two elements and move the text over the box (for example, negative margin).

Otherwise it won't be possible.

Just like Chris mentioned: if you use a PNG file with transparency, you have to use a JavaScript workaround to make it work in the pesky Internet Explorer...

Why is Git better than Subversion?

I absolutely love being able to manage local branches of my source code in Git without muddying up the water of the central repository. In many cases I'll checkout code from the Subversion server and run a local Git repository just to be able to do this. It's also great that initializing a Git repository doesn't pollute the filesystem with a bunch of annoying .svn folders everywhere.

And as far as Windows tool support, TortoiseGit handles the basics very well, but I still prefer the command line unless I want to view the log. I really like the way Tortoise{Git|SVN} helps when reading commit logs.

How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android

Complementing the @DanielLew answer, to get the values of the parameteres you have to do this:

URI example: myapp://path/to/what/i/want?keyOne=valueOne&keyTwo=valueTwo

in your activity:

Intent intent = getIntent();
if (Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(intent.getAction())) {
  Uri uri = intent.getData();
  String valueOne = uri.getQueryParameter("keyOne");
  String valueTwo = uri.getQueryParameter("keyTwo");
}

MVC Redirect to View from jQuery with parameters

This would also work I believe:

$('#results').on('click', '.item', function () {
            var NestId = $(this).data('id');
            var url = '@Html.Raw(Url.Action("Artists", new { NestId = @NestId }))';
            window.location.href = url; 
        })

How do I set a column value to NULL in SQL Server Management Studio?

If you've opened a table and you want to clear an existing value to NULL, click on the value, and press Ctrl+0.

Linking dll in Visual Studio

I find it useful to understand the underlying tools. These are cl.exe (compiler) and link.exe (linker). You need to tell the compiler the signatures of the functions you want to call in the dynamic library (by including the library's header) and you need to tell the linker what the library is called and how to call it (by including the "implib" or import library).

This is roughly the same process gcc uses for linking to dynamic libraries on *nix, only the library object file differs.

Knowing the underlying tools means you can more quickly find the appropriate settings in the IDE and allows you to check that the commandlines generated are correct.

Example

Say A.exe depends B.dll. You need to include B's header in A.cpp (#include "B.h") then compile and link with B.lib:

cl A.cpp /c /EHsc
link A.obj B.lib

The first line generates A.obj, the second generates A.exe. The /c flag tells cl not to link and /EHsc specifies what kind of C++ exception handling the binary should use (there's no default, so you have to specify something).

If you don't specify /c cl will call link for you. You can use the /link flag to specify additional arguments to link and do it all at once if you like:

cl A.cpp /EHsc /link B.lib

If B.lib is not on the INCLUDE path you can give a relative or absolute path to it or add its parent directory to your include path with the /I flag.

If you're calling from cygwin (as I do) replace the forward slashes with dashes.

If you write #pragma comment(lib, "B.lib") in A.cpp you're just telling the compiler to leave a comment in A.obj telling the linker to link to B.lib. It's equivalent to specifying B.lib on the link commandline.

How can I extract audio from video with ffmpeg?

Use -b:a instead of -ab as -ab is outdated now, also make sure your input file path is correct.

To extract audio from a video I have used below command and its working fine.

String[] complexCommand = {"-y", "-i", inputFileAbsolutePath, "-vn", "-ar", "44100", "-ac", "2", "-b:a", "256k", "-f", "mp3", outputFileAbsolutePath};

Here,

  • -y - Overwrite output files without asking.
  • -i - FFmpeg reads from an arbitrary number of input “files” specified by the -i option
  • -vn - Disable video recording
  • -ar - sets the sampling rate for audio streams if encoded
  • -ac - Set the number of audio channels.
  • -b:a - Set the audio bitrate
  • -f - format

Check out this for my complete sample FFmpeg android project on GitHub.

adb command for getting ip address assigned by operator

To get all IPs (WIFI and data SIM) even on a non-rooted phone in 2019 use:

adb shell ip -o a

The output looks like:

1: lo    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo\       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
1: lo    inet6 ::1/128 scope host \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: dummy0    inet6 fe80::489c:2ff:fe4a:00005/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
11: rmnet_data1    inet6 fe80::735d:50fb:2e2:0000/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
21: r_rmnet_data0    inet6 fe80::e38:ce2a:523a:0000/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
30: wlan0    inet 192.168.178.0/24 brd 192.168.178.255 scope global wlan0\       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
30: wlan0    inet6 fe80::c2ee:fbff:fe4a:0000/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

You can connect either through adb shell or run the comman ip -o a directly in a terminal emulator. Again, no root required.

What is ANSI format?

I remember when "ANSI" text referred to the pseudo VT-100 escape codes usable in DOS through the ANSI.SYS driver to alter the flow of streaming text.... Probably not what you are referring to but if it is see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

What is the Linux equivalent to DOS pause?

I use these ways a lot that are very short, and they are like @theunamedguy and @Jim solutions, but with timeout and silent mode in addition.

I especially love the last case and use it in a lot of scripts that run in a loop until the user presses Enter.

Commands

  • Enter solution

    read -rsp $'Press enter to continue...\n'
    
  • Escape solution (with -d $'\e')

    read -rsp $'Press escape to continue...\n' -d $'\e'
    
  • Any key solution (with -n 1)

    read -rsp $'Press any key to continue...\n' -n 1 key
    # echo $key
    
  • Question with preselected choice (with -ei $'Y')

    read -rp $'Are you sure (Y/n) : ' -ei $'Y' key;
    # echo $key
    
  • Timeout solution (with -t 5)

    read -rsp $'Press any key or wait 5 seconds to continue...\n' -n 1 -t 5;
    
  • Sleep enhanced alias

    read -rst 0.5; timeout=$?
    # echo $timeout
    

Explanation

-r specifies raw mode, which don't allow combined characters like "\" or "^".

-s specifies silent mode, and because we don't need keyboard output.

-p $'prompt' specifies the prompt, which need to be between $' and ' to let spaces and escaped characters. Be careful, you must put between single quotes with dollars symbol to benefit escaped characters, otherwise you can use simple quotes.

-d $'\e' specifies escappe as delimiter charater, so as a final character for current entry, this is possible to put any character but be careful to put a character that the user can type.

-n 1 specifies that it only needs a single character.

-e specifies readline mode.

-i $'Y' specifies Y as initial text in readline mode.

-t 5 specifies a timeout of 5 seconds

key serve in case you need to know the input, in -n1 case, the key that has been pressed.

$? serve to know the exit code of the last program, for read, 142 in case of timeout, 0 correct input. Put $? in a variable as soon as possible if you need to test it after somes commands, because all commands would rewrite $?

conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value

It's a date format issue. In Ireland the standard date format for the 28th of March would be "28-03-2011", whereas "03/28/2011" is the standard for the USA (among many others).

What does an exclamation mark before a cell reference mean?

When entered as the reference of a Named range, it refers to range on the sheet the named range is used on.

For example, create a named range MyName refering to =SUM(!B1:!K1)

Place a formula on Sheet1 =MyName. This will sum Sheet1!B1:K1

Now place the same formula (=MyName) on Sheet2. That formula will sum Sheet2!B1:K1

Note: (as pnuts commented) this and the regular SheetName!B1:K1 format are relative, so reference different cells as the =MyName formula is entered into different cells.

How to create a GUID / UUID

A typescript version of broofa's update from 2017-06-28, based on crypto API:

function genUUID() {
        // Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2117523/709884
        return ("10000000-1000-4000-8000-100000000000").replace(/[018]/g, s => {
            const c = Number.parseInt(s, 10)
            return (c ^ crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1))[0] & 15 >> c / 4).toString(16)
        })
}

Reasons:

  • Use of + between number[] and number isn't valid
  • The conversion from string to number has to be explicit

Find and replace entire mysql database

This isn't possible - you need to carry out an UPDATE for each table individually.

WARNING: DUBIOUS, BUT IT'LL WORK (PROBABLY) SOLUTION FOLLOWS

Alternatively, you could dump the database via mysqldump and simply perform the search/replace on the resultant SQL file. (I'd recommend offlining anything that might touch the database whilst this is in progress, as well as using the --add-drop-table and --extended-insert flags.) However, you'd need to be sure that the search/replace text wasn't going to alter anything other than the data itself (i.e.: that the text you were going to swap out might not occur as a part of SQL syntax) and I'd really try doing the re-insert on an empty test database first.)

Javascript : calling function from another file

Yes you can. Just check my fiddle for clarification. For demo purpose i kept the code in fiddle at same location. You can extract that code as shown in two different Javascript files and load them in html file.

https://jsfiddle.net/mvora/mrLmkxmo/

 /******** PUT THIS CODE IN ONE JS FILE *******/

    var secondFileFuntion = function(){
        this.name = 'XYZ';
    }

    secondFileFuntion.prototype.getSurname = function(){
     return 'ABC';
    }


    var secondFileObject = new secondFileFuntion();

    /******** Till Here *******/

    /******** PUT THIS CODE IN SECOND JS FILE *******/

    function firstFileFunction(){
      var name = secondFileObject.name;
      var surname = secondFileObject.getSurname()
      alert(name);
      alert(surname );
    }

    firstFileFunction();

If you make an object using the constructor function and trying access the property or method from it in second file, it will give you the access of properties which are present in another file.

Just take care of sequence of including these files in index.html

What is the Swift equivalent to Objective-C's "@synchronized"?

In modern Swift 5, with return capability:

/**
Makes sure no other thread reenters the closure before the one running has not returned
*/
@discardableResult
public func synchronized<T>(_ lock: AnyObject, closure:() -> T) -> T {
    objc_sync_enter(lock)
    defer { objc_sync_exit(lock) }

    return closure()
}

Use it like this, to take advantage the return value capability:

let returnedValue = synchronized(self) { 
     // Your code here
     return yourCode()
}

Or like that otherwise:

synchronized(self) { 
     // Your code here
    yourCode()
}

Using Node.JS, how do I read a JSON file into (server) memory?

Asynchronous is there for a reason! Throws stone at @mihai

Otherwise, here is the code he used with the asynchronous version:

// Declare variables
var fs = require('fs'),
    obj

// Read the file and send to the callback
fs.readFile('path/to/file', handleFile)

// Write the callback function
function handleFile(err, data) {
    if (err) throw err
    obj = JSON.parse(data)
    // You can now play with your datas
}

Find when a file was deleted in Git

Short answer:

git log --full-history -- your_file

will show you all commits in your repo's history, including merge commits, that touched your_file. The last (top) one is the one that deleted the file.

Some explanation:

The --full-history flag here is important. Without it, Git performs "history simplification" when you ask it for the log of a file. The docs are light on details about exactly how this works and I lack the grit and courage required to try to figure it out from the source code, but the git-log docs have this much to say:

Default mode

Simplifies the history to the simplest history explaining the final state of the tree. Simplest because it prunes some side branches if the end result is the same (i.e. merging branches with the same content)

This is obviously concerning when the file whose history we want is deleted, since the simplest history explaining the final state of a deleted file is no history. Is there a risk that git log without --full-history will simply claim that the file was never created? Unfortunately, yes. Here's a demonstration:

    Added bar

Notice how git log -- bar in the terminal dump above resulted in literally no output; Git is "simplifying" history down into a fiction where bar never existed. git log --full-history -- bar, on the other hand, gives us the commit that created bar and the commit that deleted it.

To be clear: this issue isn't merely theoretical. I only looked into the docs and discovered the --full-history flag because git log -- some_file was failing for me in a real repository where I was trying to track a deleted file down. History simplification might sometimes be helpful when you're trying to understand how a currently-existing file came to be in its current state, but when trying to track down a file deletion it's more likely to screw you over by hiding the commit you care about. Always use the --full-history flag for this use case.

PHP str_replace replace spaces with underscores

I'll suggest that you use this as it will check for both single and multiple occurrence of white space (as suggested by Lucas Green).

$journalName = preg_replace('/\s+/', '_', $journalName);

instead of:

$journalName = str_replace(' ', '_', $journalName);

Counter inside xsl:for-each loop

You can also run conditional statements on the Postion() which can be really helpful in many scenarios.

for eg.

 <xsl:if test="(position( )) = 1">
     //Show header only once
    </xsl:if>

Tab Escape Character?

Easy one! "\t"

CSS for the "down arrow" on a <select> element?

You would need to create your own dropdown using hidden divs and a hidden input element to record which option was "selected". My guess is that @Jan Hancic's link he posted is probably what you're looking for.

How to check if an email address is real or valid using PHP

I have been searching for this same answer all morning and have pretty much found out that it's probably impossible to verify if every email address you ever need to check actually exists at the time you need to verify it. So as a work around, I kind of created a simple PHP script to verify that the email address is formatted correct and it also verifies that the domain name used is correct as well.

GitHub here https://github.com/DukeOfMarshall/PHP---JSON-Email-Verification/tree/master

<?php

# What to do if the class is being called directly and not being included in a script     via PHP
# This allows the class/script to be called via other methods like JavaScript

if(basename(__FILE__) == basename($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"])){
$return_array = array();

if($_GET['address_to_verify'] == '' || !isset($_GET['address_to_verify'])){
    $return_array['error']              = 1;
    $return_array['message']            = 'No email address was submitted for verification';
    $return_array['domain_verified']    = 0;
    $return_array['format_verified']    = 0;
}else{
    $verify = new EmailVerify();

    if($verify->verify_formatting($_GET['address_to_verify'])){
        $return_array['format_verified']    = 1;

        if($verify->verify_domain($_GET['address_to_verify'])){
            $return_array['error']              = 0;
            $return_array['domain_verified']    = 1;
            $return_array['message']            = 'Formatting and domain have been verified';
        }else{
            $return_array['error']              = 1;

            $return_array['message']            = 'Formatting was verified, but verification of the domain has failed';
        }

Random shuffling of an array

I saw some miss information in some answers so i decided to add a new one.

Java collections Arrays.asList takes var-arg of type T (T ...). If you pass a primitive array (int array), asList method will infer and generate a List<int[]>, which is a one element list (the one element is the primitive array). if you shuffle this one element list, it won`t change any thing.

So, first you have to convert you primitive array to Wrapper object array. for this you can use ArrayUtils.toObject method from apache.commons.lang. then pass the generated array to a List and finaly shuffle that.

  int[] intArr = {1,2,3};
  List<Integer> integerList = Arrays.asList(ArrayUtils.toObject(array));
  Collections.shuffle(integerList);
  //now! elements in integerList are shuffled!

Explanation of 'String args[]' and static in 'public static void main(String[] args)'

To keep beginner attitude you can explain that all the command line is automaticaly splite in a array fo String (the String[]).

For static you have to explain, that it not a field like another : it is unique in the JVM even if you have thousand instances of the class

So main is static, because it is the only way to find it (linked in its own class) in a jar.

... after you look at coding, and your job begin ...

Changing variable names with Python for loops

It looks like you want to use a list instead:

group=[]
for i in range(3):
     group[i]=self.getGroup(selected, header+i)

How do you stretch an image to fill a <div> while keeping the image's aspect-ratio?

I had similar issue. I resolved it with just CSS.

Basically Object-fit: cover helps you achieve the task of maintaining the aspect ratio while positioning an image inside a div.

But the problem was Object-fit: cover was not working in IE and it was taking 100% width and 100% height and aspect ratio was distorted. In other words image zooming effect wasn't there which I was seeing in chrome.

The approach I took was to position the image inside the container with absolute and then place it right at the centre using the combination:

position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

Once it is in the centre, I give to the image,

// For vertical blocks (i.e., where height is greater than width)
height: 100%;
width: auto;

// For Horizontal blocks (i.e., where width is greater than height)
height: auto;
width: 100%;

This makes the image get the effect of Object-fit:cover.


Here is a demonstration of the above logic.

https://jsfiddle.net/furqan_694/s3xLe1gp/

This logic works in all browsers.

Android Google Maps API V2 Zoom to Current Location

check this out:

    fun requestMyGpsLocation(context: Context, callback: (location: Location) -> Unit) {
        val request = LocationRequest()
        //        request.interval = 10000
        //        request.fastestInterval = 5000
        request.numUpdates = 1
        request.priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
        val client = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(context)

        val permission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION )
        if (permission == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            client.requestLocationUpdates(request, object : LocationCallback() {
                override fun onLocationResult(locationResult: LocationResult?) {
                val location = locationResult?.lastLocation
                if (location != null)
                    callback.invoke(location)
            }
         }, null)
       }
     }

and

    fun zoomOnMe() {
        requestMyGpsLocation(this) { location ->
            mMap?.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(
                LatLng(location.latitude,location.longitude ), 13F ))
        }
    }

regex error - nothing to repeat

Beyond the bug that was discovered and fixed, I'll just note that the error message sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat is a bit confusing. I was trying to use r'?.*' as a pattern, and thought it was complaining for some strange reason about the *, but the problem is actually that ? is a way of saying "repeat zero or one times". So I needed to say r'\?.*'to match a literal ?

PHP: Get key from array?

If you want to be in a foreach loop, then foreach($array as $key => $value) is definitely the recommended approach. Take advantage of simple syntax when a language offers it.

Replace a newline in TSQL

To do what most people would want, create a placeholder that isn't an actual line breaking character. Then you can actually combine the approaches for:

REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(MyField, CHAR(13) + CHAR(10), 'something else'), CHAR(13), 'something else'), CHAR(10), 'something else')

This way you replace only once. The approach of:

REPLACE(REPLACE(MyField, CHAR(13), ''), CHAR(10), '')

Works great if you just want to get rid of the CRLF characters, but if you want a placeholder, such as

<br/>

or something, then the first approach is a little more accurate.

What's the best way to store co-ordinates (longitude/latitude, from Google Maps) in SQL Server?

I don't know the answer for SQL Server but...

In MySQL save it as FLOAT( 10, 6 )

This is the official recommendation from the Google developer documentation.

CREATE TABLE `coords` (
  `lat` FLOAT( 10, 6 ) NOT NULL ,
  `lng` FLOAT( 10, 6 ) NOT NULL ,
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

Jenkins / Hudson environment variables

Running the command with environment variable set is also effective. Of course, you have to do it for each command you run, but you probably have a job script, so you probably only have one command per build. My job script is a python script that uses the environment to decide which python to use, so I still needed to put /usr/local/bin/python2.7 in its path:

PATH=/usr/local/bin <my-command>

Parse an HTML string with JS

with this simple code you can do that:

let el = $('<div></div>');
$(document.body).append(el);
el.html(`<html><head><title>titleTest</title></head><body><a href='test0'>test01</a><a href='test1'>test02</a><a href='test2'>test03</a></body></html>`);
console.log(el.find('a[href="test0"]'));

Oracle SQL Developer spool output?

I have found that if I save my query(spool_script_file.sql) and call it using this

@c:\client\queries\spool_script_file.sql as script(F5)

My output now is just the results with out the commands at the top.

I found this solution on the oracle forums.

How can I hide a checkbox in html?

Elements that are not being rendered (be it through visibility: hidden, display: none, opacity: 0.0, whatever) will not indicate focus. The browser will not draw a focus border around nothing.

If you want the text to be focusable, that's completely doable. You can wrap the whole thing in an element that can receive focus (for example, a hyperlink), or allow another tag to have focus using the tabindex property:

<label tabindex="0" class="checkbox">
  <input type="checkbox" value="valueofcheckbox" style="display:none" checked="checked" />Option Text
</label>

Fiddle

In this case, the <label> tag above is actually receiving focus and everything within it will have a focus border when it's in focus.

I do question what your goal is. If you're using a hidden checkbox to internally track some sort of state, you might be better off using a <input type="hidden" /> tag instead.

Access Denied for User 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - No Privileges?

If you are getting this error in Workbench but you are able to log in from terminal then follow this steps.

First simply log in with your current password:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Then change your password because having low strength password gives error sometimes.

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new-strong-password';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then simply exit and again login with your new password:

quit

sudo mysql -u root -p

Once you successfully logged in type the command:

use mysql;

It should show a message like 'Database changed' then type:

UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';

After that type:

UPDATE mysql.user set authentication_string=PASSWORD('new-strong-password') where user='root';

Then type:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then simply exit:

quit

Now try to log in with your new password in your WORKBENCH. Hope it will work. Thank you.

Get the current displaying UIViewController on the screen in AppDelegate.m

Why not just handle the push notification code in the app delegate? Is it directly related to a view?

You can check if a UIViewController's view is currently visible by checking if it's view's window property has a value. See more here.

Converting from signed char to unsigned char and back again?

I'm not 100% sure that I understand your question, so tell me if I'm wrong.

If I got it right, you are reading jbytes that are technically signed chars, but really pixel values ranging from 0 to 255, and you're wondering how you should handle them without corrupting the values in the process.

Then, you should do the following:

  • convert jbytes to unsigned char before doing anything else, this will definetly restore the pixel values you are trying to manipulate

  • use a larger signed integer type, such as int while doing intermediate calculations, this to make sure that over- and underflows can be detected and dealt with (in particular, not casting to a signed type could force to compiler to promote every type to an unsigned type in which case you wouldn't be able to detect underflows later on)

  • when assigning back to a jbyte, you'll want to clamp your value to the 0-255 range, convert to unsigned char and then convert again to signed char: I'm not certain the first conversion is strictly necessary, but you just can't be wrong if you do both

For example:

inline int fromJByte(jbyte pixel) {
    // cast to unsigned char re-interprets values as 0-255
    // cast to int will make intermediate calculations safer
    return static_cast<int>(static_cast<unsigned char>(pixel));
}

inline jbyte fromInt(int pixel) {
    if(pixel < 0)
        pixel = 0;

    if(pixel > 255)
        pixel = 255;

    return static_cast<jbyte>(static_cast<unsigned char>(pixel));
}

jbyte in = ...
int intermediate = fromJByte(in) + 30;
jbyte out = fromInt(intermediate);

raw_input function in Python

It presents a prompt to the user (the optional arg of raw_input([arg])), gets input from the user and returns the data input by the user in a string. See the docs for raw_input().

Example:

name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
print "Hello, %s." % name

This differs from input() in that the latter tries to interpret the input given by the user; it is usually best to avoid input() and to stick with raw_input() and custom parsing/conversion code.

Note: This is for Python 2.x

How do I request and process JSON with python?

For anything with requests to URLs you might want to check out requests. For JSON in particular:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
>>> r.json()
[{u'repository': {u'open_issues': 0, u'url': 'https://github.com/...

TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object

I'm not sure how you could just check if something isn't undefined and at the same time get an error that it is undefined. What browser are you using?

You could check in the following way (extra = and making length a truthy evaluation)

if (typeof(sub.from) !== 'undefined' && sub.from.length) {

[update]

I see that you reset sub and thereby reset sub.from but fail to re check if sub.from exist:

for (var i = 0; i < sub.from.length; i++) {//<== assuming sub.from.exist
            mainid = sub.from[i]['id'];
            var sub = afcHelper_Submissions[mainid]; // <== re setting sub

My guess is that the error is not on the if statement but on the for(i... statement. In Firebug you can break automatically on an error and I guess it'll break on that line (not on the if statement).

Getting raw SQL query string from PDO prepared statements

A bit late probably but now there is PDOStatement::debugDumpParams

Dumps the informations contained by a prepared statement directly on the output. It will provide the SQL query in use, the number of parameters used (Params), the list of parameters, with their name, type (paramtype) as an integer, their key name or position, and the position in the query (if this is supported by the PDO driver, otherwise, it will be -1).

You can find more on the official php docs

Example:

<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
    FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->bindParam(':calories', $calories, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindValue(':colour', $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();

$sth->debugDumpParams();

?>

How can I split a string with a string delimiter?

string[] tokens = str.Split(new[] { "is Marco and" }, StringSplitOptions.None);

If you have a single character delimiter (like for instance ,), you can reduce that to (note the single quotes):

string[] tokens = str.Split(',');

How to Publish Web with msbuild?

Using the deployment profiles introduced in VS 2012, you can publish with the following command line:

msbuild MyProject.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=<profile-name> /p:Password=<insert-password> /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0

For more information on the parameters see this.

The values for the /p:VisualStudioVersion parameter depend on your version of Visual Studio. Wikipedia has a table of Visual Studio releases and their versions.

The role of #ifdef and #ifndef

Someone should mention that in the question there is a little trap. #ifdef will only check if the following symbol has been defined via #define or by command line, but its value (its substitution in fact) is irrelevant. You could even write

#define one

precompilers accept that. But if you use #if it's another thing.

#define one 0
#if one
    printf("one evaluates to a truth ");
#endif
#if !one
    printf("one does not evaluate to truth ");
#endif

will give one does not evaluate to truth. The keyword defined allows to get the desired behaviour.

#if defined(one) 

is therefore equivalent to #ifdef

The advantage of the #if construct is to allow a better handling of code paths, try to do something like that with the old #ifdef/#ifndef pair.

#if defined(ORA_PROC) || defined(__GNUC) && __GNUC_VERSION > 300

How do you run a Python script as a service in Windows?

nssm in python 3+

(I converted my .py file to .exe with pyinstaller)

nssm: as said before

  • run nssm install {ServiceName}
  • On NSSM´s console:

    path: path\to\your\program.exe

    Startup directory: path\to\your\ #same as the path but without your program.exe

    Arguments: empty

If you don't want to convert your project to .exe

  • create a .bat file with python {{your python.py file name}}
  • and set the path to the .bat file

How do I enable logging for Spring Security?

Spring security logging for webflux reactive apps is now available starting with version 5.4.0-M2 (as mentionned by @bzhu in comment How do I enable logging for Spring Security?)

Until this gets into a GA release, here is how to get this milestone release in gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    if (!version.endsWith('RELEASE')) {
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
}

// Force earlier milestone release to get securing logging preview
// https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html5/#getting-gradle-boot
// https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/pull/8504
// https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/releases/tag/5.4.0-M2
ext['spring-security.version']='5.4.0-M2'
dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
    }

}

Parse (split) a string in C++ using string delimiter (standard C++)

You can also use regex for this:

std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string str, const std::string regex_str)
{
    std::regex regexz(regex_str);
    std::vector<std::string> list(std::sregex_token_iterator(str.begin(), str.end(), regexz, -1),
                                  std::sregex_token_iterator());
    return list;
}

which is equivalent to :

std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string str, const std::string regex_str)
{
    std::sregex_token_iterator token_iter(str.begin(), str.end(), regexz, -1);
    std::sregex_token_iterator end;
    std::vector<std::string> list;
    while (token_iter != end)
    {
        list.emplace_back(*token_iter++);
    }
    return list;
}

and use it like this :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>

std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string str, const std::string regex_str)
{   // a yet more concise form!
    return { std::sregex_token_iterator(str.begin(), str.end(), std::regex(regex_str), -1), std::sregex_token_iterator() };
}

int main()
{
    std::string input_str = "lets split this";
    std::string regex_str = " "; 
    auto tokens = split(input_str, regex_str);
    for (auto& item: tokens)
    {
        std::cout<<item <<std::endl;
    }
}

play with it online! http://cpp.sh/9sumb

you can simply use substrings, characters, etc like normal, or use actual regular expressions to do the splitting.
its also concise and C++11!

"Can't find Project or Library" for standard VBA functions

I found references to an AVAYA/CMS programme file? Totally random, this was in MS Access, nothing to do with AVAYA. I do have AVAYA on my PC, and others don't, so this explains why it worked on my machine and not others - but not how Access got linked to AVAYA. Anyway - I just unchecked the reference and that seems to have fixed the problem

Clear MySQL query cache without restarting server

I believe you can use...

RESET QUERY CACHE;

...if the user you're running as has reload rights. Alternatively, you can defragment the query cache via...

FLUSH QUERY CACHE;

See the Query Cache Status and Maintenance section of the MySQL manual for more information.
