jQuery selector first td of each row

Use:

$("tr").find("td:first");

js fiddle - this example has .text() on the end to show that it is returning the elements.

Alternatively, you can use:

$("td:first-child");

.find() - jQuery API Documentation

Iterating through map in template

As Herman pointed out, you can get the index and element from each iteration.

{{range $index, $element := .}}{{$index}}
{{range $element}}{{.Value}}
{{end}}
{{end}}

Working example:

package main

import (
    "html/template"
    "os"
)

type EntetiesClass struct {
    Name string
    Value int32
}

// In the template, we use rangeStruct to turn our struct values
// into a slice we can iterate over
var htmlTemplate = `{{range $index, $element := .}}{{$index}}
{{range $element}}{{.Value}}
{{end}}
{{end}}`

func main() {
    data := map[string][]EntetiesClass{
        "Yoga": {{"Yoga", 15}, {"Yoga", 51}},
        "Pilates": {{"Pilates", 3}, {"Pilates", 6}, {"Pilates", 9}},
    }

    t := template.New("t")
    t, err := t.Parse(htmlTemplate)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    err = t.Execute(os.Stdout, data)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

}

Output:

Pilates
3
6
9

Yoga
15
51

Example use of "continue" statement in Python?

Here's a simple example:

for letter in 'Django':    
    if letter == 'D':
        continue
    print("Current Letter: " + letter)

Output will be:

Current Letter: j
Current Letter: a
Current Letter: n
Current Letter: g
Current Letter: o

It continues to the next iteration of the loop.

Html.DropDownList - Disabled/Readonly

Regarding the catch 22:

If we use @disabled, the field is not sent to the action (Mamoud) And if we use @readonly, the drop down bug still lets you change the value

Workaround: use @disabled, and add the field hidden after the drop down:

@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.xxxxxxxx)

Then it is truly disabled, and sent to the to the action too.

Basic Ajax send/receive with node.js

Here is a fully functional example of what you are trying to accomplish. I created the example inside of hyperdev rather than jsFiddle so that you could see the server-side and client-side code.

View Code: https://hyperdev.com/#!/project/destiny-authorization

View Working Application: https://destiny-authorization.hyperdev.space/

This code creates a handler for a get request that returns a random string:

app.get("/string", function(req, res) {
    var strings = ["string1", "string2", "string3"]
    var n = Math.floor(Math.random() * strings.length)
    res.send(strings[n])
});

This jQuery code then makes the ajax request and receives the random string from the server.

$.get("/string", function(string) {
  $('#txtString').val(string);
});

Note that this example is based on code from Jamund Ferguson's answer so if you find this useful be sure to upvote him as well. I just thought this example would help you to see how everything fits together.

Convert ArrayList<String> to String[] array

Use like this.

List<String> stockList = new ArrayList<String>();
stockList.add("stock1");
stockList.add("stock2");

String[] stockArr = new String[stockList.size()];
stockArr = stockList.toArray(stockArr);

for(String s : stockArr)
    System.out.println(s);

Loading context in Spring using web.xml

You can also load the context while defining the servlet itself (WebApplicationContext)

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>admin</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>
                /WEB-INF/spring/*.xml
            </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>admin</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

rather than (ApplicationContext)

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
   <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
   </listener-class>
</listener> 

or can do both together.

Drawback of just using WebApplicationContext is that it will load context only for this particular Spring entry point (DispatcherServlet) where as with above mentioned methods context will be loaded for multiple entry points (Eg. Webservice Servlet, REST servlet etc)

Context loaded by ContextLoaderListener will infact be a parent context to that loaded specifically for DisplacherServlet . So basically you can load all your business service, data access or repository beans in application context and separate out your controller, view resolver beans to WebApplicationContext.

Where/How to getIntent().getExtras() in an Android Fragment?

What I tend to do, and I believe this is what Google intended for developers to do too, is to still get the extras from an Intent in an Activity and then pass any extra data to fragments by instantiating them with arguments.

There's actually an example on the Android dev blog that illustrates this concept, and you'll see this in several of the API demos too. Although this specific example is given for API 3.0+ fragments, the same flow applies when using FragmentActivity and Fragment from the support library.

You first retrieve the intent extras as usual in your activity and pass them on as arguments to the fragment:

public static class DetailsActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // (omitted some other stuff)

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            // During initial setup, plug in the details fragment.
            DetailsFragment details = new DetailsFragment();
            details.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(
                    android.R.id.content, details).commit();
        }
    }
}

In stead of directly invoking the constructor, it's probably easier to use a static method that plugs the arguments into the fragment for you. Such a method is often called newInstance in the examples given by Google. There actually is a newInstance method in DetailsFragment, so I'm unsure why it isn't used in the snippet above...

Anyways, all extras provided as argument upon creating the fragment, will be available by calling getArguments(). Since this returns a Bundle, its usage is similar to that of the extras in an Activity.

public static class DetailsFragment extends Fragment {
    /**
     * Create a new instance of DetailsFragment, initialized to
     * show the text at 'index'.
     */
    public static DetailsFragment newInstance(int index) {
        DetailsFragment f = new DetailsFragment();

        // Supply index input as an argument.
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt("index", index);
        f.setArguments(args);

        return f;
    }

    public int getShownIndex() {
        return getArguments().getInt("index", 0);
    }

    // (other stuff omitted)

}

git push >> fatal: no configured push destination

You are referring to the section "2.3.5 Deploying the demo app" of this "Ruby on Rails Tutorial ":

In section 2.3.1 Planning the application, note that they did:

$ git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/demo_app.git
$ git push origin master

That is why a simple git push worked (using here an ssh address).
Did you follow that step and made that first push?

 www.github.com/levelone/demo_app

wouldn't be a writable URI for pushing to a GitHub repo.

https://[email protected]/levelone/demo_app.git

should be more appropriate.
Check what git remote -v returns, and if you need to replace the remote address, as described in GitHub help page, use git remote --set-url.

git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/levelone/demo_app.git
or 
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:levelone/demo_app.git

How to get current route in Symfony 2?

Symfony 2.0-2.1
Use this:

    $router = $this->get("router");
    $route = $router->match($this->getRequest()->getPathInfo());
    var_dump($route['_route']);

That one will not give you _internal.

Update for Symfony 2.2+: This is not working starting Symfony 2.2+. I opened a bug and the answer was "by design". If you wish to get the route in a sub-action, you must pass it in as an argument

{{ render(controller('YourBundle:Menu:menu', { '_locale': app.request.locale, 'route': app.request.attributes.get('_route') } )) }}

And your controller:

public function menuAction($route) { ... }

LDAP filter for blank (empty) attribute

From LDAP, there is not a query method to determine an empty string.

The best practice would be to scrub your data inputs to LDAP as an empty or null value in LDAP is no value at all.

To determine this you would need to query for all with a value (manager=*) and then use code to determine the ones that were a "space" or null value.

And as Terry said, storing an empty or null value in an attribute of DN syntax is wrong.

Some LDAP server implementations will not permit entering a DN where the DN entry does not exist.

Perhaps, you could, if your DN's are consistent, use something like:

(&(!(manager=cn*))(manager=*))

This should return any value of manager where there was a value for manager and it did not start with "cn".

However, some LDAP implementations will not allow sub-string searches on DN syntax attributes.

JQuery html() vs. innerHTML

Here is some code to get you started. You can modify the behavior of .innerHTML -- you could even create your own complete .innerHTML shim. (P.S.: redefining .innerHTML will also work in Firefox, but not Chrome -- they're working on it.)

if (/(msie|trident)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
 var innerhtml_get = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(HTMLElement.prototype, "innerHTML").get
 var innerhtml_set = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(HTMLElement.prototype, "innerHTML").set
 Object.defineProperty(HTMLElement.prototype, "innerHTML", {
  get: function () {return innerhtml_get.call (this)},
  set: function(new_html) {
   var childNodes = this.childNodes
   for (var curlen = childNodes.length, i = curlen; i > 0; i--) {
    this.removeChild (childNodes[0])
   }
   innerhtml_set.call (this, new_html)
  }
 })
}

var mydiv = document.createElement ('div')
mydiv.innerHTML = "test"
document.body.appendChild (mydiv)

document.body.innerHTML = ""
console.log (mydiv.innerHTML)

Text inset for UITextField?

If you need just a left margin, you can try this:

UItextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:...];
UIView *leftView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, textField.frame.size.height)];
leftView.backgroundColor = textField.backgroundColor;
textField.leftView = leftView;
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

It works for me. I hope this may help.

Google Map API - Removing Markers

Following code might be useful if someone is using React and has a different component of Marker and want to remove marker from map.

export default function useGoogleMapMarker(props) {
  const [marker, setMarker] = useState();

  useEffect(() => {
    // ...code
    const marker = new maps.Marker({ position, map, title, icon });
    // ...code
    setMarker(marker);
    return () => marker.setMap(null); // to remove markers when unmounts
  }, []);

  return marker;
}

com.sun.jdi.InvocationException occurred invoking method

I also had a similar exception when debugging in Eclipse. When I moused-over an object, the pop up box displayed an com.sun.jdi.InvocationException message. The root cause for me was not the toString() method of my class, but rather the hashCode() method. It was causing a NullPointerException, which caused the com.sun.jdi.InvocationException to appear during debugging. Once I took care of the null pointer, everything worked as expected.

Append an empty row in dataframe using pandas

Assuming your df.index is sorted you can use:

df.loc[df.index.max() + 1] = None

It handles well different indexes and column types.

[EDIT] it works with pd.DatetimeIndex if there is a constant frequency, otherwise we must specify the new index exactly e.g:

df.loc[df.index.max() + pd.Timedelta(milliseconds=1)] = None

long example:

df = pd.DataFrame([[pd.Timestamp(12432423), 23, 'text_field']], 
                    columns=["timestamp", "speed", "text"],
                    index=pd.DatetimeIndex(start='2111-11-11',freq='ms', periods=1))
df.info()

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'> DatetimeIndex: 1 entries, 2111-11-11 to 2111-11-11 Freq: L Data columns (total 3 columns): timestamp 1 non-null datetime64[ns] speed 1 non-null int64 text 1 non-null object dtypes: datetime64[ns](1), int64(1), object(1) memory usage: 32.0+ bytes

df.loc[df.index.max() + 1] = None
df.info()

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'> DatetimeIndex: 2 entries, 2111-11-11 00:00:00 to 2111-11-11 00:00:00.001000 Data columns (total 3 columns): timestamp 1 non-null datetime64[ns] speed 1 non-null float64 text 1 non-null object dtypes: datetime64[ns](1), float64(1), object(1) memory usage: 64.0+ bytes

ResultSet exception - before start of result set

It's better if you create a class that has all the query methods, inclusively, in a different package, so instead of typing all the process in every class, you just call the method from that class.

How can I parse a YAML file in Python

I use ruamel.yaml. Details & debate here.

from ruamel import yaml

with open(filename, 'r') as fp:
    read_data = yaml.load(fp)

Usage of ruamel.yaml is compatible (with some simple solvable problems) with old usages of PyYAML and as it is stated in link I provided, use

from ruamel import yaml

instead of

import yaml

and it will fix most of your problems.

EDIT: PyYAML is not dead as it turns out, it's just maintained in a different place.

How make background image on newsletter in outlook?

Not all HTML and CSS is supported by Microsoft Office products, Outlook in particular; take a look here for reference on supported elements for what you can and can't use in Outlook when rendering HTML.

Specifically, from that link it doesn't state the background CSS property is supported for div elements. You might have to use an img and do some hacky layering.

Note that in your second example you have a quote mismatch, which won't help any.

Lastly and something I just came across at the link provided is the Outlook HTML and CSS Validator tool - you could try running that against your newsletter markup and see if it gives you any suggestions/alternatives.

Beginner Python: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute

Consider:

class Bike(object):
    def __init__(self, name, weight, cost):
        self.name = name
        self.weight = weight
        self.cost = cost

bikes = {
    # Bike designed for children"
    "Trike": Bike("Trike", 20, 100),      # <--
    # Bike designed for everyone"
    "Kruzer": Bike("Kruzer", 50, 165),    # <--
    }

# Markup of 20% on all sales
margin = .2
# Revenue minus cost after sale
for bike in bikes.values():
    profit = bike.cost * margin
    print(profit)

Output:

33.0
20.0

The difference is that in your bikes dictionary, you're initializing the values as lists [...]. Instead, it looks like the rest of your code wants Bike instances. So create Bike instances: Bike(...).

As for your error

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'cost'

this will occur when you try to call .cost on a list object. Pretty straightforward, but we can figure out what happened by looking at where you call .cost -- in this line:

profit = bike.cost * margin

This indicates that at least one bike (that is, a member of bikes.values() is a list). If you look at where you defined bikes you can see that the values were, in fact, lists. So this error makes sense.

But since your class has a cost attribute, it looked like you were trying to use Bike instances as values, so I made that little change:

[...] -> Bike(...)

and you're all set.

How to call a method function from another class?

In class WeatherRecord:

First import the class if they are in different package else this statement is not requires

Import <path>.ClassName



Then, just referene or call your object like:

Date d;
TempratureRange tr;
d = new Date();
tr = new TempratureRange;
//this can be done in Single Line also like :
// Date d = new Date();



But in your code you are not required to create an object to call function of Date and TempratureRange. As both of the Classes contain Static Function , you cannot call the thoes function by creating object.

Date.date(date,month,year);   // this is enough to call those static function 


Have clear concept on Object and Static functions. Click me

A Generic error occurred in GDI+ in Bitmap.Save method

    // Once finished with the bitmap objects, we deallocate them.
    originalBMP.Dispose();

    bannerBMP.Dispose();
    oGraphics.Dispose();

This is a programming style that you'll regret sooner or later. Sooner is knocking on the door, you forgot one. You are not disposing newBitmap. Which keeps a lock on the file until the garbage collector runs. If it doesn't run then the second time you try to save to the same file you'll get the klaboom. GDI+ exceptions are too miserable to give a good diagnostic so serious head-scratching ensues. Beyond the thousands of googlable posts that mention this mistake.

Always favor using the using statement. Which never forgets to dispose an object, even if the code throws an exception.

using (var newBitmap = new Bitmap(thumbBMP)) {
    newBitmap.Save("~/image/thumbs/" + "t" + objPropBannerImage.ImageId, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}

Albeit that it is very unclear why you even create a new bitmap, saving thumbBMP should already be good enough. Anyhoo, give the rest of your disposable objects the same using love.

SQL grouping by month and year

If I understand correctly. In order to group your results as requested, your Group By clause needs to have the same expression as your select statement.

GROUP BY MONTH(date) + '.' + YEAR(date)

To display the date as "month-date" format change the '.' to '-' The full syntax would be something like this.

SELECT MONTH(date) + '-' + YEAR(date) AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS
SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY MONTH(date) + '.' + YEAR(date)

What are good examples of genetic algorithms/genetic programming solutions?

In 2007-9 I developed some software for reading datamatrix patterns. Often these patterns were difficult to read, being indented into scratched surfaces with all kinds of reflectance properties, fuzzy chemically etched markings and so on. I used a GA to fine tune various parameters of the vision algorithms to give the best results on a database of 300 images having known properties. Parameters were things like downsampling resolution, RANSAC parameters, amount of erosion and dilation, low pass filtering radius, and a few others. Running the optimisation over several days this produced results which were about 20% better than naive values on a test set of images unseen during the optimisation phase.

This system was completely written from scratch, and I didn't use any other libraries. I'm not opposed to using such things, provided that they give a reliable result, but you have to be careful about license compatibility and code portability issues.

convert float into varchar in SQL server without scientific notation

You can use this code:

STR(<Your Field>, Length, Scale)

Your Field = Float field for convert

Length = Total length of your float number with Decimal point

Scale = Number of length after decimal point

For Example:

SELECT STR(1234.5678912,8,3)

Result is: 1234.568

Note that the last digit is also round up.

Good luck.

Is there a decorator to simply cache function return values?

I implemented something like this, using pickle for persistance and using sha1 for short almost-certainly-unique IDs. Basically the cache hashed the code of the function and the hist of arguments to get a sha1 then looked for a file with that sha1 in the name. If it existed, it opened it and returned the result; if not, it calls the function and saves the result (optionally only saving if it took a certain amount of time to process).

That said, I'd swear I found an existing module that did this and find myself here trying to find that module... The closest I can find is this, which looks about right: http://chase-seibert.github.io/blog/2011/11/23/pythondjango-disk-based-caching-decorator.html

The only problem I see with that is it wouldn't work well for large inputs since it hashes str(arg), which isn't unique for giant arrays.

It would be nice if there were a unique_hash() protocol that had a class return a secure hash of its contents. I basically manually implemented that for the types I cared about.

What causes javac to issue the "uses unchecked or unsafe operations" warning

The "unchecked or unsafe operations" warning was added when java added Generics, if I remember correctly. It's usually asking you to be more explicit about types, in one way or another.

For example. the code ArrayList foo = new ArrayList(); triggers that warning because javac is looking for ArrayList<String> foo = new ArrayList<String>();

JQuery .each() backwards

Using numpy to build an array of all combinations of two arrays

Here's yet another way, using pure NumPy, no recursion, no list comprehension, and no explicit for loops. It's about 20% slower than the original answer, and it's based on np.meshgrid.

def cartesian(*arrays):
    mesh = np.meshgrid(*arrays)  # standard numpy meshgrid
    dim = len(mesh)  # number of dimensions
    elements = mesh[0].size  # number of elements, any index will do
    flat = np.concatenate(mesh).ravel()  # flatten the whole meshgrid
    reshape = np.reshape(flat, (dim, elements)).T  # reshape and transpose
    return reshape

For example,

x = np.arange(3)
a = cartesian(x, x, x, x, x)
print(a)

gives

[[0 0 0 0 0]
 [0 0 0 0 1]
 [0 0 0 0 2]
 ..., 
 [2 2 2 2 0]
 [2 2 2 2 1]
 [2 2 2 2 2]]

When is assembly faster than C?

The question is a bit misleading. The answer is there in your post itself. It is always possible to write assembly solution for a particular problem which executes faster than any generated by a compiler. The thing is you need to be an expert in assembly to overcome the limitations of a compiler. An experienced assembly programmer can write programs in any HLL which performs faster than one written by an inexperienced. The truth is you can always write assembly programs executing faster than one generated by a compiler.

How to split a string into a list?

shlex has a .split() function. It differs from str.split() in that it does not preserve quotes and treats a quoted phrase as a single word:

>>> import shlex
>>> shlex.split("sudo echo 'foo && bar'")
['sudo', 'echo', 'foo && bar']

NB: it works well for Unix-like command line strings. It doesn't work for natural-language processing.

Any way to break if statement in PHP?

What about using ternary operator?

<?php
 // Example usage for: Ternary Operator
 $action = (empty($_POST['action'])) ? 'default' : $_POST['action'];
?>

Which is identical to this if/else statement:

<?php
 if (empty($_POST['action'])) {
   $action = 'default';
 } else {
   $action = $_POST['action'];
 }
?>

I want to execute shell commands from Maven's pom.xml

2 Options:

  1. You want to exec a command from maven without binding to any phase, you just type the command and maven runs it, you just want to maven to run something, you don't care if we are in compile/package/... Let's say I want to run npm start with maven, you can achieve it with the below:

mvn exec:exec -Pstart-node

For that you need the below maven section

  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>start-node</id>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.3.2</version>
            <executions>
              <execution>
                <goals>
                  <goal>exec</goal>
                </goals>
              </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
              <executable>npm</executable>
              <arguments><argument>start</argument></arguments>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
    </profile>

  </profiles>
  1. You want to run an arbitrary command from maven while you are at a specific phase, for example when I'm at install phase I want to run npm install you can do that with:

mvn install

And for that to work you would need the below section:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.2</version>
    <executions>

      <execution>
        <id>npm install (initialize)</id>
        <goals>
          <goal>exec</goal>
        </goals>
        <phase>initialize</phase>
        <configuration>
          <executable>npm</executable>
          <arguments>
            <argument>install</argument>
          </arguments>
        </configuration>
      </execution>

C fopen vs open

First, there is no particularly good reason to use fdopen if fopen is an option and open is the other possible choice. You shouldn't have used open to open the file in the first place if you want a FILE *. So including fdopen in that list is incorrect and confusing because it isn't very much like the others. I will now proceed to ignore it because the important distinction here is between a C standard FILE * and an OS-specific file descriptor.

There are four main reasons to use fopen instead of open.

  1. fopen provides you with buffering IO that may turn out to be a lot faster than what you're doing with open.
  2. fopen does line ending translation if the file is not opened in binary mode, which can be very helpful if your program is ever ported to a non-Unix environment (though the world appears to be converging on LF-only (except IETF text-based networking protocols like SMTP and HTTP and such)).
  3. A FILE * gives you the ability to use fscanf and other stdio functions.
  4. Your code may someday need to be ported to some other platform that only supports ANSI C and does not support the open function.

In my opinion the line ending translation more often gets in your way than helps you, and the parsing of fscanf is so weak that you inevitably end up tossing it out in favor of something more useful.

And most platforms that support C have an open function.

That leaves the buffering question. In places where you are mainly reading or writing a file sequentially, the buffering support is really helpful and a big speed improvement. But it can lead to some interesting problems in which data does not end up in the file when you expect it to be there. You have to remember to fclose or fflush at the appropriate times.

If you're doing seeks (aka fsetpos or fseek the second of which is slightly trickier to use in a standards compliant way), the usefulness of buffering quickly goes down.

Of course, my bias is that I tend to work with sockets a whole lot, and there the fact that you really want to be doing non-blocking IO (which FILE * totally fails to support in any reasonable way) with no buffering at all and often have complex parsing requirements really color my perceptions.

Why use armeabi-v7a code over armeabi code?

Instead of having a fat APK file, I would like to use just the armeabi files and remove the armeabi-v7a folder.

The opposite is a much better strategy. If you have minSdkVersion to 14 and upload your apk to the play store, you'll notice you'll support the same number of devices whether you support armeabi or not. Therefore, there are no devices with Android 4 or higher which would benefit from armeabi at all.

This is probably why the Android NDK doesn't even support armeabi anymore as per revision r17b. [source]

Modify tick label text

In newer versions of matplotlib, if you do not set the tick labels with a bunch of str values, they are '' by default (and when the plot is draw the labels are simply the ticks values). Knowing that, to get your desired output would require something like this:

>>> from pylab import *
>>> axes = figure().add_subplot(111)
>>> a=axes.get_xticks().tolist()
>>> a[1]='change'
>>> axes.set_xticklabels(a)
[<matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x539aa50>, <matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x53a0c90>, 
<matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x53a73d0>, <matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x53a7a50>, 
<matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x53aa110>, <matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x53aa790>]
>>> plt.show()

and the result: enter image description here

and now if you check the _xticklabels, they are no longer a bunch of ''.

>>> [item.get_text() for item in axes.get_xticklabels()]
['0.0', 'change', '1.0', '1.5', '2.0']

It works in the versions from 1.1.1rc1 to the current version 2.0.

How to download a Nuget package without nuget.exe or Visual Studio extension?

Either make an account on the Nuget.org website, then log in, browse to the package you want and click on the Download link on the left menu.


Or guess the URL. They have the following format:

https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/{packageID}/{packageVersion}

Then simply unzip the .nupkg file and extract the contents you need.

Python MySQLdb TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

'%' keyword is so dangerous because it major cause of 'SQL INJECTION ATTACK'.
So you just using this code.

cursor.execute("select * from table where example=%s", (example,))

or

t = (example,)
cursor.execute("select * from table where example=%s", t)

if you want to try insert into table, try this.

name = 'ksg'
age = 19
sex = 'male'
t  = (name, age, sex)
cursor.execute("insert into table values(%s,%d,%s)", t)

Android ADB doesn't see device

Not all USB cables can transfer data. Try using a different USB cable if your device is charging, but doesn't establish a connection to your machine.

It seems trivial. But it's worth a try if each and every other solution that normally works, doesn't.

How to Select a substring in Oracle SQL up to a specific character?

Remember this if all your Strings in the column do not have an underscore (...or else if null value will be the output):

How to Sort a List<T> by a property in the object

hi just to come back at the question. If you want to sort the List of this sequence "1" "10" "100" "200" "2" "20" "3" "30" "300" and get the sorted items in this form 1;2;3;10;20;30;100;200;300 you can use this:

 public class OrderingAscending : IComparer<String>
    {
        public int Compare(String x, String y)
        {
            Int32.TryParse(x, out var xtmp);
            Int32.TryParse(y, out var ytmp);

            int comparedItem = xtmp.CompareTo(ytmp);
            return comparedItem;
        }
    }

and you can use it in code behind in this form:

 IComparer<String> comparerHandle = new OrderingAscending();
 yourList.Sort(comparerHandle);

MySQL - How to select rows where value is in array?

By the time the query gets to SQL you have to have already expanded the list. The easy way of doing this, if you're using IDs from some internal, trusted data source, where you can be 100% certain they're integers (e.g., if you selected them from your database earlier) is this:

$sql = 'SELECT * WHERE id IN (' . implode(',', $ids) . ')';

If your data are coming from the user, though, you'll need to ensure you're getting only integer values, perhaps most easily like so:

$sql = 'SELECT * WHERE id IN (' . implode(',', array_map('intval', $ids)) . ')';

Debug assertion failed. C++ vector subscript out of range

Regardless of how do you index the pushbacks your vector contains 10 elements indexed from 0 (0, 1, ..., 9). So in your second loop v[j] is invalid, when j is 10.

This will fix the error:

for(int j = 9;j >= 0;--j)
{
    cout << v[j];
}

In general it's better to think about indexes as 0 based, so I suggest you change also your first loop to this:

for(int i = 0;i < 10;++i)
{
    v.push_back(i);
}

Also, to access the elements of a container, the idiomatic approach is to use iterators (in this case: a reverse iterator):

for (vector<int>::reverse_iterator i = v.rbegin(); i != v.rend(); ++i)
{
    std::cout << *i << std::endl;
}

Any reason not to use '+' to concatenate two strings?

According to Python docs, using str.join() will give you performance consistence across various implementations of Python. Although CPython optimizes away the quadratic behavior of s = s + t, other Python implementations may not.

CPython implementation detail: If s and t are both strings, some Python implementations such as CPython can usually perform an in-place optimization for assignments of the form s = s + t or s += t. When applicable, this optimization makes quadratic run-time much less likely. This optimization is both version and implementation dependent. For performance sensitive code, it is preferable to use the str.join() method which assures consistent linear concatenation performance across versions and implementations.

How to give color to each class in scatter plot in R?

Here is a solution using traditional graphics (and Dirk's data):

> DF <- data.frame(x=1:10, y=rnorm(10)+5, z=sample(letters[1:3], 10, replace=TRUE)) 
> DF
    x        y z
1   1 6.628380 c
2   2 6.403279 b
3   3 6.708716 a
4   4 7.011677 c
5   5 6.363794 a
6   6 5.912945 b
7   7 2.996335 a
8   8 5.242786 c
9   9 4.455582 c
10 10 4.362427 a
> attach(DF); plot(x, y, col=c("red","blue","green")[z]); detach(DF)

This relies on the fact that DF$z is a factor, so when subsetting by it, its values will be treated as integers. So the elements of the color vector will vary with z as follows:

> c("red","blue","green")[DF$z]
 [1] "green" "blue"  "red"   "green" "red"   "blue"  "red"   "green" "green" "red"    

You can add a legend using the legend function:

legend(x="topright", legend = levels(DF$z), col=c("red","blue","green"), pch=1)

Passing data between different controller action methods

You should always find a way to make it explicit and expected.

How can I echo a newline in a batch file?

Like the answer of Ken, but with the use of the delayed expansion.

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
(set \n=^
%=Do not remove this line=%
)

echo Line1!\n!Line2
echo Works also with quotes "!\n!line2"

First a single linefeed character is created and assigned to the \n-variable.
This works as the caret at the line end tries to escape the next character, but if this is a Linefeed it is ignored and the next character is read and escaped (even if this is also a linefeed).
Then you need a third linefeed to end the current instruction, else the third line would be appended to the LF-variable.
Even batch files have line endings with CR/LF only the LF are important, as the CR's are removed in this phase of the parser.

The advantage of using the delayed expansion is, that there is no special character handling at all.
echo Line1%LF%Line2 would fail, as the parser stops parsing at single linefeeds.

More explanations are at
SO:Long commands split over multiple lines in Vista/DOS batch (.bat) file
SO:How does the Windows Command Interpreter (CMD.EXE) parse scripts?

Edit: Avoid echo.

This doesn't answer the question, as the question was about single echo that can output multiple lines.

But despite the other answers who suggests the use of echo. to create a new line, it should be noted that echo. is the worst, as it's very slow and it can completly fail, as cmd.exe searches for a file named ECHO and try to start it.

For printing just an empty line, you could use one of

echo,
echo;
echo(
echo/
echo+
echo=

But the use of echo., echo\ or echo: should be avoided, as they can be really slow, depending of the location where the script will be executed, like a network drive.

Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name available as request attribute

I had problem like this, but with several "actions". My solution looks like this:

    <form method="POST" th:object="${searchRequest}" action="searchRequest" >
          <input type="text" th:field="*{name}"/>
          <input type="submit" value="find" th:value="find" />
    </form>
        ...
    <form method="POST" th:object="${commodity}" >
        <input type="text" th:field="*{description}"/>
        <input type="submit" value="add" />
    </form>

And controller

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/goods")
public class GoodsController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "add", method = GET)
    public String showGoodsForm(Model model){
           model.addAttribute(new Commodity());
           model.addAttribute("searchRequest", new SearchRequest());
           return "goodsForm";
    }
    @RequestMapping(value = "add", method = POST)
    public ModelAndView processAddCommodities(
            @Valid Commodity commodity,
            Errors errors) {
        if (errors.hasErrors()) {
            ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("goodsForm");
            model.addObject("searchRequest", new SearchRequest());
            return model;
        }
        ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("redirect:/goods/" + commodity.getName());
        model.addObject(new Commodity());
        model.addObject("searchRequest", new SearchRequest());
        return model;
    }
    @RequestMapping(value="searchRequest", method=POST)
    public String processFindCommodity(SearchRequest commodity, Model model) {
    ...
        return "catalog";
    }

I'm sure - here is not "best practice", but it is works without "Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name available as request attribute".

Call async/await functions in parallel

There is another way without Promise.all() to do it in parallel:

First, we have 2 functions to print numbers:

function printNumber1() {
   return new Promise((resolve,reject) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
      console.log("Number1 is done");
      resolve(10);
      },1000);
   });
}

function printNumber2() {
   return new Promise((resolve,reject) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
      console.log("Number2 is done");
      resolve(20);
      },500);
   });
}

This is sequential:

async function oneByOne() {
   const number1 = await printNumber1();
   const number2 = await printNumber2();
} 
//Output: Number1 is done, Number2 is done

This is parallel:

async function inParallel() {
   const promise1 = printNumber1();
   const promise2 = printNumber2();
   const number1 = await promise1;
   const number2 = await promise2;
}
//Output: Number2 is done, Number1 is done

Best way to parse command-line parameters?

I based my approach on the top answer (from dave4420), and tried to improve it by making it more general-purpose.

It returns a Map[String,String] of all command line parameters You can query this for the specific parameters you want (eg using .contains) or convert the values into the types you want (eg using toInt).

def argsToOptionMap(args:Array[String]):Map[String,String]= {
  def nextOption(
      argList:List[String], 
      map:Map[String, String]
    ) : Map[String, String] = {
    val pattern       = "--(\\w+)".r // Selects Arg from --Arg
    val patternSwitch = "-(\\w+)".r  // Selects Arg from -Arg
    argList match {
      case Nil => map
      case pattern(opt)       :: value  :: tail => nextOption( tail, map ++ Map(opt->value) )
      case patternSwitch(opt) :: tail => nextOption( tail, map ++ Map(opt->null) )
      case string             :: Nil  => map ++ Map(string->null)
      case option             :: tail => {
        println("Unknown option:"+option) 
        sys.exit(1)
      }
    }
  }
  nextOption(args.toList,Map())
}

Example:

val args=Array("--testing1","testing1","-a","-b","--c","d","test2")
argsToOptionMap( args  )

Gives:

res0: Map[String,String] = Map(testing1 -> testing1, a -> null, b -> null, c -> d, test2 -> null)

dismissModalViewControllerAnimated deprecated

Here is the corresponding presentViewController version that I used if it helps other newbies like myself:

if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(presentModalViewController:animated:)]) {
    [self performSelector:@selector(presentModalViewController:animated:) withObject:testView afterDelay:0];
} else {
    [self presentViewController:configView animated:YES completion:nil];
}
[testView.testFrame setImage:info]; //this doesn't work for performSelector
[testView.testText setHidden:YES];

I had used a ViewController 'generically' and was able to get the modal View to appear differently depending what it was called to do (using setHidden and setImage). and things were working nicely before, but performSelector ignores 'set' stuff, so in the end it seems to be a poor solution if you try to be efficient like I tried to be...

C++ Returning reference to local variable

A local variable is memory on the stack, that memory is not automatically invalidated when you go out of scope. From a Function deeper nested (higher on the stack in memory), its perfectly safe to access this memory.

Once the Function returns and ends though, things get dangerous. Usually the memory is not deleted or overwritten when you return, meaning the memory at that adresss is still containing your data - the pointer seems valid.

Until another function builds up the stack and overwrites it. This is why this can work for a while - and then suddenly cease to function after one particularly deeply nested set of functions, or a function with really huge sized or many local objects, reaches that stack-memory again.

It even can happen that you reach the same program part again, and overwrite your old local function variable with the new function variable. All this is very dangerous and should be heavily discouraged. Do not use pointers to local objects!

Adding elements to object

if you not design to do loop with in JS e.g. pass to PHP to do loop for you

let decision = {}
decision[code+'#'+row] = event.target.value

this concept may help a bit

Add Favicon with React and Webpack

Another alternative is

npm install react-favicon

And in your application you would just do:

   import Favicon from 'react-favicon';
   //other codes

    ReactDOM.render(
        <div>
            <Favicon url="/path/to/favicon.ico"/>
            // do other stuff here
        </div>
        , document.querySelector('.react'));

JavaFX: How to get stage from controller during initialization?

You can get with node.getScene, if you don't call from Platform.runLater, the result is a null value.

example null value:

node.getScene();

example no null value:

Platform.runLater(() -> {
    node.getScene().addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, event -> {
               //your event
     });
});

Default values in a C Struct

Perhaps consider using a preprocessor macro definition instead:

#define UPDATE_ID(instance, id)  ({ (instance)->id= (id); })
#define UPDATE_ROUTE(instance, route)  ({ (instance)->route = (route); })
#define UPDATE_BACKUP_ROUTE(instance, route)  ({ (instance)->backup_route = (route); })
#define UPDATE_CURRENT_ROUTE(instance, route)  ({ (instance)->current_route = (route); })

If your instance of (struct foo) is global, then you don't need the parameter for that of course. But I'm assuming you probably have more than one instance. Using the ({ ... }) block is a GNU-ism that that applies to GCC; it is a nice (safe) way to keep lines together as a block. If you later need to add more to the macros, such as range validation checking, you won't have to worry about breaking things like if/else statements and so forth.

This is what I would do, based upon the requirements you indicated. Situations like this are one of the reasons that I started using python a lot; handling default parameters and such becomes a lot simpler than it ever is with C. (I guess that's a python plug, sorry ;-)

Get the last 4 characters of a string

str = "aaaaabbbb"
newstr = str[-4:]

See : http://codepad.org/S3zjnKoD

Compare given date with today

Here you go:

function isToday($time) // midnight second
{
    return (strtotime($time) === strtotime('today'));
}

isToday('2010-01-22 00:00:00.0'); // true

Also, some more helper functions:

function isPast($time)
{
    return (strtotime($time) < time());
}

function isFuture($time)
{
    return (strtotime($time) > time());
}

How do you concatenate Lists in C#?

Try this:

myList1 = myList1.Concat(myList2).ToList();

Concat returns an IEnumerable<T> that is the two lists put together, it doesn't modify either existing list. Also, since it returns an IEnumerable, if you want to assign it to a variable that is List<T>, you'll have to call ToList() on the IEnumerable<T> that is returned.

Convert char * to LPWSTR

The std::mbstowcs function is what you are looking for:

 char text[] = "something";
 wchar_t wtext[20];
 mbstowcs(wtext, text, strlen(text)+1);//Plus null
 LPWSTR ptr = wtext;

for strings,

 string text = "something";
 wchar_t wtext[20];
 mbstowcs(wtext, text.c_str(), text.length());//includes null
 LPWSTR ptr = wtext;

--> ED: The "L" prefix only works on string literals, not variables. <--

How can I throw CHECKED exceptions from inside Java 8 streams?

You cannot.

However, you may want to have a look at one of my projects which allows you to more easily manipulate such "throwing lambdas".

In your case, you would be able to do that:

import static com.github.fge.lambdas.functions.Functions.wrap;

final ThrowingFunction<String, Class<?>> f = wrap(Class::forName);

List<Class> classes =
    Stream.of("java.lang.Object", "java.lang.Integer", "java.lang.String")
          .map(f.orThrow(MyException.class))
          .collect(Collectors.toList());

and catch MyException.

That is one example. Another example is that you could .orReturn() some default value.

Note that this is STILL a work in progress, more is to come. Better names, more features etc.

Laravel Unknown Column 'updated_at'

Setting timestamps to false means you are going to lose both created_at and updated_at whereas you could set both of the keys in your model.

Case 1:

You have created_at column but not update_at you could simply set updated_at to false in your model

class ABC extends Model {

const UPDATED_AT = null;

Case 2:

You have both created_at and updated_at columns but with different column names

You could simply do:

class ABC extends Model {

const CREATED_AT = 'name_of_created_at_column';
const UPDATED_AT = 'name_of_updated_at_column';

Finally ignoring timestamps completely:

class ABC extends Model {

public $timestamps = false;

What is the equivalent of "!=" in Excel VBA?

Because the inequality operator in VBA is <>

If strTest <> "" Then
    .....

the operator != is used in C#, C++.

Array copy values to keys in PHP

Be careful, the solution proposed with $a = array_combine($a, $a); will not work for numeric values.

I for example wanted to have a memory array(128,256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192,16384) to be the keys as well as the values however PHP manual states:

If the input arrays have the same string keys, then the later value for that key will overwrite the previous one. If, however, the arrays contain numeric keys, the later value will not overwrite the original value, but will be appended.

So I solved it like this:

foreach($array as $key => $val) {
    $new_array[$val]=$val;
}

What exactly is the difference between Web API and REST API in MVC?

I have been there, like so many of us. There are so many confusing words like Web API, REST, RESTful, HTTP, SOAP, WCF, Web Services... and many more around this topic. But I am going to give brief explanation of only those which you have asked.

REST

It is neither an API nor a framework. It is just an architectural concept. You can find more details here.

RESTful

I have not come across any formal definition of RESTful anywhere. I believe it is just another buzzword for APIs to say if they comply with REST specifications.

EDIT: There is another trending open source initiative OpenAPI Specification (OAS) (formerly known as Swagger) to standardise REST APIs.

Web API

It in an open source framework for writing HTTP APIs. These APIs can be RESTful or not. Most HTTP APIs we write are not RESTful. This framework implements HTTP protocol specification and hence you hear terms like URIs, request/response headers, caching, versioning, various content types(formats).

Note: I have not used the term Web Services deliberately because it is a confusing term to use. Some people use this as a generic concept, I preferred to call them HTTP APIs. There is an actual framework named 'Web Services' by Microsoft like Web API. However it implements another protocol called SOAP.

Git Clone from GitHub over https with two-factor authentication

It generally comes to mind that you have set up two-factor authentication, after a few password trials and maybe a password reset. So, how can we git clone a private repository using two-factor authentication? It is simple, using access tokens.

How to Authenticate Git using Access Tokens

  1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
  2. Click Generate New Token button on top right.
  3. Give your token a descriptive name.
  4. Set all required permissions for the token.
  5. Click Generate token button at the bottom.
  6. Copy the generated token to a safe place.
  7. Use this token instead of password when you use git clone.

Wow, it works!

How do you get the length of a list in the JSF expression language?

Note: This solution is better for older versions of JSTL. For versions greater then 1.1 I recommend using fn:length(MyBean.somelist) as suggested by Bill James.


This article has some more detailed information, including another possible solution;

The problem is that we are trying to invoke the list's size method (which is a valid LinkedList method), but it's not a JavaBeans-compliant getter method, so the expression list.size-1 cannot be evaluated.

There are two ways to address this dilemma. First, you can use the RT Core library, like this:

<c_rt:out value='<%= list[list.size()-1] %>'/>

Second, if you want to avoid Java code in your JSP pages, you can implement a simple wrapper class that contains a list and provides access to the list's size property with a JavaBeans-compliant getter method. That bean is listed in Listing 2.25.

The problem with c_rt method is that you need to get the variable from request manually, because it doesn't recognize it otherwise. At this point you are putting in a lot of code for what should be built in functionality. This is a GIANT flaw in the EL.

I ended up using the "wrapper" method, here is the class for it;

public class CollectionWrapper {

    Collection collection;

    public CollectionWrapper(Collection collection) {
        this.collection = collection;
    }

    public Collection getCollection() {
        return collection;
    }

    public int getSize() {
        return collection.size();
    }
}

A third option that no one has mentioned yet is to put your list size into the model (assuming you are using MVC) as a separate attribute. So in your model you would have "someList" and then "someListSize". That may be simplest way to solve this issue.

System.drawing namespace not found under console application

If you are using Visual Studio 2010 or plus then check the target framework that is it .Net Framework 4.0 or .Net Framework 4.0 Client Profile. then change is to .Net Framework 4.0.

You need to add reference this .dll file (System.Drawing.dll) to perform drawing operations.

If it is OK then follow these steps to add reference to System.Drawing.dll

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the project node and click Add Reference.
  2. In the Add Reference dialog box, select the tab indicating the type of component you want to reference.
  3. Select the System.Drawing.dll to reference, then click OK.

Java converting Image to BufferedImage

If you are getting back a sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage, you can cast the Image to that, and then use getBufferedImage() to get the BufferedImage.

So instead of your last line of code where you are casting you would just do:

BufferedImage buffered = ((ToolkitImage) image).getBufferedImage();

Auto select file in Solution Explorer from its open tab

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it would automatically select the "active" file in the Solution Explorer:

Tools-->Options-->Projects and Solutions-->Track Active Item in Solution Explorer.

How to do a join in linq to sql with method syntax?

var result = from sc in enumerableOfSomeClass
             join soc in enumerableOfSomeOtherClass
             on sc.Property1 equals soc.Property2
             select new { SomeClass = sc, SomeOtherClass = soc };

Would be equivalent to:

var result = enumerableOfSomeClass
    .Join(enumerableOfSomeOtherClass,
          sc => sc.Property1,
          soc => soc.Property2,
          (sc, soc) => new
                       {
                           SomeClass = sc,
                           SomeOtherClass = soc
                       });

As you can see, when it comes to joins, query syntax is usually much more readable than lambda syntax.

HTTP Range header

As Wrikken suggested, it's a valid request. It's also quite common when the client is requesting media or resuming a download.

A client will often test to see if the server handles ranged requests other than just looking for an Accept-Ranges response. Chrome always sends a Range: bytes=0- with its first GET request for a video, so it's something you can't dismiss.

Whenever a client includes Range: in its request, even if it's malformed, it's expecting a partial content (206) response. When you seek forward during HTML5 video playback, the browser only requests the starting point. For example:

Range: bytes=3744-

So, in order for the client to play video properly, your server must be able to handle these incomplete range requests.

You can handle the type of 'range' you specified in your question in two ways:

First, You could reply with the requested starting point given in the response, then the total length of the file minus one (the requested byte range is zero-indexed). For example:

Request:

GET /BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4 
Range: bytes=100-

Response:

206 Partial Content
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Length: 64656927
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 100-64656926/64656927

Second, you could reply with the starting point given in the request and an open-ended file length (size). This is for webcasts or other media where the total length is unknown. For example:

Request:

GET /BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4
Range: bytes=100-

Response:

206 Partial Content
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Length: 64656927
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 100-64656926/*

Tips:

You must always respond with the content length included with the range. If the range is complete, with start to end, then the content length is simply the difference:

Request: Range: bytes=500-1000

Response: Content-Range: bytes 500-1000/123456

Remember that the range is zero-indexed, so Range: bytes=0-999 is actually requesting 1000 bytes, not 999, so respond with something like:

Content-Length: 1000
Content-Range: bytes 0-999/123456

Or:

Content-Length: 1000
Content-Range: bytes 0-999/*

But, avoid the latter method if possible because some media players try to figure out the duration from the file size. If your request is for media content, which is my hunch, then you should include its duration in the response. This is done with the following format:

X-Content-Duration: 63.23 

This must be a floating point. Unlike Content-Length, this value doesn't have to be accurate. It's used to help the player seek around the video. If you are streaming a webcast and only have a general idea of how long it will be, it's better to include your estimated duration rather than ignore it altogether. So, for a two-hour webcast, you could include something like:

X-Content-Duration: 7200.00 

With some media types, such as webm, you must also include the content-type, such as:

Content-Type: video/webm 

All of these are necessary for the media to play properly, especially in HTML5. If you don't give a duration, the player may try to figure out the duration (to allow for seeking) from its file size, but this won't be accurate. This is fine, and necessary for webcasts or live streaming, but not ideal for playback of video files. You can extract the duration using software like FFMPEG and save it in a database or even the filename.

X-Content-Duration is being phased out in favor of Content-Duration, so I'd include that too. A basic, response to a "0-" request would include at least the following:

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Date: Sun, 08 May 2013 06:37:54 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat)
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 3980
Content-Range: bytes 0-3979/3980
Content-Type: video/webm
X-Content-Duration: 2054.53
Content-Duration: 2054.53

One more point: Chrome always starts its first video request with the following:

Range: bytes=0-

Some servers will send a regular 200 response as a reply, which it accepts (but with limited playback options), but try to send a 206 instead to show than your server handles ranges. RFC 2616 says it's acceptable to ignore range headers.

How do you add a JToken to an JObject?

TL;DR: You should add a JProperty to a JObject. Simple. The index query returns a JValue, so figure out how to get the JProperty instead :)


The accepted answer is not answering the question as it seems. What if I want to specifically add a JProperty after a specific one? First, lets start with terminologies which really had my head worked up.

  • JToken = The mother of all other types. It can be A JValue, JProperty, JArray, or JObject. This is to provide a modular design to the parsing mechanism.
  • JValue = any Json value type (string, int, boolean).
  • JProperty = any JValue or JContainer (see below) paired with a name (identifier). For example "name":"value".
  • JContainer = The mother of all types which contain other types (JObject, JValue).
  • JObject = a JContainer type that holds a collection of JProperties
  • JArray = a JContainer type that holds a collection JValue or JContainer.

Now, when you query Json item using the index [], you are getting the JToken without the identifier, which might be a JContainer or a JValue (requires casting), but you cannot add anything after it, because it is only a value. You can change it itself, query more deep values, but you cannot add anything after it for example.

What you actually want to get is the property as whole, and then add another property after it as desired. For this, you use JOjbect.Property("name"), and then create another JProperty of your desire and then add it after this using AddAfterSelf method. You are done then.

      var foodJsonObj = JObject.Parse(jsonText);

ImportError: No module named matplotlib.pyplot

You have two pythons installed on your machine, one is the standard python that comes with Mac OSX and the second is the one you installed with ports (this is the one that has matplotlib installed in its library, the one that comes with macosx does not).

/usr/bin/python

Is the standard mac python and since it doesn't have matplotlib you should always start your script with the one installed with ports.

If python your_script.py works then change the #! to:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Or put the full path to the python interpreter that has the matplotlib installed in its library.

What does ECU units, CPU core and memory mean when I launch a instance

For linuxes I've figured out that ECU could be measured by sysbench:

sysbench --num-threads=128 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=50000 --max-requests=50000 run

Total time (t) should be calculated by formula:

ECU=1925/t

And my example test results:

|   instance type   |   time   |   ECU   |
|-------------------|----------|---------|
| m1.small          |  1735,62 |       1 |

Convert to binary and keep leading zeros in Python

You can use the string formatting mini language:

def binary(num, pre='0b', length=8, spacer=0):
    return '{0}{{:{1}>{2}}}'.format(pre, spacer, length).format(bin(num)[2:])

Demo:

print binary(1)

Output:

'0b00000001'

HTML Canvas Full Screen

I hope it will be useful.

// Get the canvas element
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');

var isInFullScreen = (document.fullscreenElement && document.fullscreenElement !== null) ||
    (document.webkitFullscreenElement && document.webkitFullscreenElement !== null) ||
    (document.mozFullScreenElement && document.mozFullScreenElement !== null) ||
    (document.msFullscreenElement && document.msFullscreenElement !== null);

// Enter fullscreen
function fullscreen(){
    if(canvas.RequestFullScreen){
        canvas.RequestFullScreen();
    }else if(canvas.webkitRequestFullScreen){
        canvas.webkitRequestFullScreen();
    }else if(canvas.mozRequestFullScreen){
        canvas.mozRequestFullScreen();
    }else if(canvas.msRequestFullscreen){
        canvas.msRequestFullscreen();
    }else{
        alert("This browser doesn't supporter fullscreen");
    }
}

// Exit fullscreen
function exitfullscreen(){
    if (document.exitFullscreen) {
        document.exitFullscreen();
    } else if (document.webkitExitFullscreen) {
        document.webkitExitFullscreen();
    } else if (document.mozCancelFullScreen) {
        document.mozCancelFullScreen();
    } else if (document.msExitFullscreen) {
        document.msExitFullscreen();
    }else{
        alert("Exit fullscreen doesn't work");
    }
}

Is it possible to cast a Stream in Java 8?

This looks a little ugly. Is it possible to cast an entire stream to a different type? Like cast Stream<Object> to a Stream<Client>?

No that wouldn't be possible. This is not new in Java 8. This is specific to generics. A List<Object> is not a super type of List<String>, so you can't just cast a List<Object> to a List<String>.

Similar is the issue here. You can't cast Stream<Object> to Stream<Client>. Of course you can cast it indirectly like this:

Stream<Client> intStream = (Stream<Client>) (Stream<?>)stream;

but that is not safe, and might fail at runtime. The underlying reason for this is, generics in Java are implemented using erasure. So, there is no type information available about which type of Stream it is at runtime. Everything is just Stream.

BTW, what's wrong with your approach? Looks fine to me.

Java 8, Streams to find the duplicate elements

A multiset is a structure maintaining the number of occurrences for each element. Using Guava implementation:

Set<Integer> duplicated =
        ImmutableMultiset.copyOf(numbers).entrySet().stream()
                .filter(entry -> entry.getCount() > 1)
                .map(Multiset.Entry::getElement)
                .collect(Collectors.toSet());

What is the easiest way to install BLAS and LAPACK for scipy?

For Debian Jessie and Stretch installing the following packages resolves the issue:

sudo apt install libblas3 liblapack3 liblapack-dev libblas-dev

Your next issue is very likely going to be a missing Fortran compiler, resolve this by installing it like this:

sudo apt install gfortran

If you want an optimized scipy, you can also install the optional libatlas-base-dev package:

sudo apt install libatlas-base-dev

How to explicitly obtain post data in Spring MVC?

If you are using one of the built-in controller instances, then one of the parameters to your controller method will be the Request object. You can call request.getParameter("value1") to get the POST (or PUT) data value.

If you are using Spring MVC annotations, you can add an annotated parameter to your method's parameters:

@RequestMapping(value = "/someUrl")
public String someMethod(@RequestParam("value1") String valueOne) {
 //do stuff with valueOne variable here
}

'tsc command not found' in compiling typescript

This works perfectly on Mac. Tested on macOS High Sierra

sudo npm install -g concurrently
sudo npm install -g lite-server
sudo npm install -g typescript
tsc --init

This generates the tsconfig.json file.

Create a SQL query to retrieve most recent records

The derived table would work, but if this is SQL 2005, a CTE and ROW_NUMBER might be cleaner:

WITH UserStatus (User, Date, Status, Notes, Ord)
as
(
SELECT Date, User, Status, Notes, 
     ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY User ORDER BY Date DESC)
FROM [SOMETABLE]
)

SELECT User, Date, Status, Notes from UserStatus where Ord = 1

This would also facilitate the display of the most recent x statuses from each user.

Are there dictionaries in php?

No, there are no dictionaries in php. The closest thing you have is an array. However, an array is different than a dictionary in that arrays have both an index and a key. Dictionaries only have keys and no index. What do I mean by that?

$array = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo"
);

// as of PHP 5.4
$array = [
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo",
];

The following line is allowed with the above array but would give an error if it was a dictionary.

print $array[0]

Python has both arrays and dictionaries.

Android Room - simple select query - Cannot access database on the main thread

As asyncTask are deprecated we may use executor service. OR you can also use ViewModel with LiveData as explained in other answers.

For using executor service, you may use something like below.

public class DbHelper {

    private final Executor executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

    public void fetchData(DataFetchListener dataListener){
        executor.execute(() -> {
                Object object = retrieveAgent(agentId);
                new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(() -> {
                        dataListener.onFetchDataSuccess(object);
                });
        });
    }
}

Main Looper is used, so that you can access UI element from onFetchDataSuccess callback.

X close button only using css

What are good grep tools for Windows?

PowerShell's Select-String cmdlet was fine in v1.0, but is significantly better for v2.0. Having PowerShell built in to recent versions of Windows means your skills here will always useful, without first installing something.

New parameters added to Select-String: Select-String cmdlet now supports new parameters, such as:

  • -Context: This allows you to see lines before and after the match line
  • -AllMatches: which allows you to see all matches in a line (Previously, you could see only the first match in a line)
  • -NotMatch: Equivalent to grep -v o
  • -Encoding: to specify the character encoding

I find it expedient to create an function gcir for Get-ChildItem -Recurse ., with smarts to pass parameters correctly, and an alias ss for Select-String. So you an write:

gcir *.txt | ss foo

Android Activity as a dialog

If your activity is being rendered as a dialog, simply add a button to your activity's xml,

<Button
    android:id="@+id/close_button"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Dismiss" />

Then attach a click listener in your Activity's Java code. In the listener, simply call finish()

Button close_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.close_button);
close_button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        finish();
    }
});

That should dismiss your dialog, returning you to the calling activity.

Python script header

First, any time you run a script using the interpreter explicitly, as in

$ python ./my_script.py
$ ksh ~/bin/redouble.sh
$ lua5.1 /usr/local/bin/osbf3

the #! line is always ignored. The #! line is a Unix feature of executable scripts only, and you can see it documented in full on the man page for execve(2). There you will find that the word following #! must be the pathname of a valid executable. So

#!/usr/bin/env python

executes whatever python is on the users $PATH. This form is resilient to the Python interpreter being moved around, which makes it somewhat more portable, but it also means that the user can override the standard Python interpreter by putting something ahead of it in $PATH. Depending on your goals, this behavior may or may not be OK.

Next,

#!/usr/bin/python

deals with the common case that a Python interpreter is installed in /usr/bin. If it's installed somewhere else, you lose. But this is a good way to ensure you get exactly the version you want or else nothing at all ("fail-stop" behavior), as in

#!/usr/bin/python2.5

Finally,

#!python

works only if there is a python executable in the current directory when the script is run. Not recommended.

Creating Threads in python

I tried to add another join(), and it seems worked. Here is code

from threading import Thread
from time import sleep

    for i in range(arg):
        print(name,'i---->',i,'\n')
        print (name,"arg---->",arg,'\n')
        sleep(1)

def test01():
    thread1 = Thread(target = function01, args = (10,'thread1', ))
    thread1.start()
    thread2 = Thread(target = function01, args = (10,'thread2', ))
    thread2.start()
    thread1.join()
    thread2.join()
    print ("thread finished...exiting")

how do you pass images (bitmaps) between android activities using bundles?

You can pass image in short without using bundle like this This is the code of sender .class file

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher;
Intent intent = new Intent();
Intent.setClass(<Sender_Activity>.this, <Receiver_Activity.class);
Intent.putExtra("Bitmap", bitmap);
startActivity(intent);

and this is receiver class file code.

Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)this.getIntent().getParcelableExtra("Bitmap");
ImageView viewBitmap = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.bitmapview);
viewBitmap.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

No need to compress. that's it

AngularJS : Factory and Service?

  • If you use a service you will get the instance of a function ("this" keyword).
  • If you use a factory you will get the value that is returned by invoking the function reference (the return statement in factory)

Factory and Service are the most commonly used recipes. The only difference between them is that Service recipe works better for objects of custom type, while Factory can produce JavaScript primitives and functions.

JavaFX 2.1 TableView refresh items

The solution by user1236048 is correct, but the key point isn't called out. In your POJO classes used for the table's observable list, you not only have to set getter and setter methods, but a new one called Property. In Oracle's tableview tutorial (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm), they left that key part off!

Here's what the Person class should look like:

public static class Person {

    private final SimpleStringProperty firstName;
    private final SimpleStringProperty lastName;
    private final SimpleStringProperty email;

    private Person(String fName, String lName, String email) {
        this.firstName = new SimpleStringProperty(fName);
        this.lastName = new SimpleStringProperty(lName);
        this.email = new SimpleStringProperty(email);
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName.get();
    }

    public void setFirstName(String fName) {
        firstName.set(fName);
    }

    public SimpleStringProperty firstNameProperty(){
        return firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName.get();
    }

    public void setLastName(String fName) {
        lastName.set(fName);
    }

    public SimpleStringProperty lastNameProperty(){
        return lastName;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email.get();
    }

    public void setEmail(String fName) {
        email.set(fName);
    }

    public SimpleStringProperty emailProperty(){
            return email;
        }

}

This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol

How to read string from keyboard using C?

You need to have the pointer to point somewhere to use it.

Try this code:

char word[64];
scanf("%s", word);

This creates a character array of lenth 64 and reads input to it. Note that if the input is longer than 64 bytes the word array overflows and your program becomes unreliable.

As Jens pointed out, it would be better to not use scanf for reading strings. This would be safe solution.

char word[64]
fgets(word, 63, stdin);
word[63] = 0;

Method to find string inside of the text file. Then getting the following lines up to a certain limit

    }

private void streamService(String item) {
        try (Stream<String> stream = Files.lines(Paths.get(fileName))) {
           stream.filter(lines -> lines.contains(item))
                       .forEach(System.out::println);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

How do you perform a left outer join using linq extension methods

Since this seems to be the de facto SO question for left outer joins using the method (extension) syntax, I thought I would add an alternative to the currently selected answer that (in my experience at least) has been more commonly what I'm after

// Option 1: Expecting either 0 or 1 matches from the "Right"
// table (Bars in this case):
var qry = Foos.GroupJoin(
          Bars,
          foo => foo.Foo_Id,
          bar => bar.Foo_Id,
          (f,bs) => new { Foo = f, Bar = bs.SingleOrDefault() });

// Option 2: Expecting either 0 or more matches from the "Right" table
// (courtesy of currently selected answer):
var qry = Foos.GroupJoin(
                  Bars, 
                  foo => foo.Foo_Id,
                  bar => bar.Foo_Id,
                  (f,bs) => new { Foo = f, Bars = bs })
              .SelectMany(
                  fooBars => fooBars.Bars.DefaultIfEmpty(),
                  (x,y) => new { Foo = x.Foo, Bar = y });

To display the difference using a simple data set (assuming we're joining on the values themselves):

List<int> tableA = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
List<int?> tableB = new List<int?> { 3, 4, 5 };

// Result using both Option 1 and 2. Option 1 would be a better choice
// if we didn't expect multiple matches in tableB.
{ A = 1, B = null }
{ A = 2, B = null }
{ A = 3, B = 3    }

List<int> tableA = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
List<int?> tableB = new List<int?> { 3, 3, 4 };

// Result using Option 1 would be that an exception gets thrown on
// SingleOrDefault(), but if we use FirstOrDefault() instead to illustrate:
{ A = 1, B = null }
{ A = 2, B = null }
{ A = 3, B = 3    } // Misleading, we had multiple matches.
                    // Which 3 should get selected (not arbitrarily the first)?.

// Result using Option 2:
{ A = 1, B = null }
{ A = 2, B = null }
{ A = 3, B = 3    }
{ A = 3, B = 3    }    

Option 2 is true to the typical left outer join definition, but as I mentioned earlier is often unnecessarily complex depending on the data set.

Is there an equivalent for var_dump (PHP) in Javascript?

Here is my solution. It replicates the behavior of var_dump well, and allows for nested objects/arrays. Note that it does not support multiple arguments.

_x000D_
_x000D_
function var_dump(variable) {
  let out = "";
  
  let type = typeof variable;
  if(type == "object") {
    var realType;
    var length;
    if(variable instanceof Array) {
      realType = "array";
      length = variable.length;
    } else {
      realType = "object";
      length = Object.keys(variable).length;
    }
    out = `${realType}(${length}) {`;
      for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(variable)) {
    out += `\n [${key}]=>\n ${var_dump(value).replace(/\n/g, "\n  ")}\n`;
  }
  out += "}";
  } else if(type == "string") {
    out = `${type}(${type.length}) "${variable}"`;
  } else {
    out = `${type}(${variable.toString()})`;
  }
  return out;
}
console.log(var_dump(1.5));
console.log(var_dump("Hello!"));
console.log(var_dump([]));
console.log(var_dump([1,2,3,[1,2]]));

console.log(var_dump({"a":"b"}));

How to get temporary folder for current user

What is the maximum length of a URL in different browsers?

In URL as UI Jakob Nielsen recommends:

the social interface to the Web relies on email when users want to recommend Web pages to each other, and email is the second-most common way users get to new sites (search engines being the most common): make sure that all URLs on your site are less than 78 characters long so that they will not wrap across a line feed.

This is not the maximum but I'd consider this a practical maximum if you want your URL to be shared.

make: *** [ ] Error 1 error

Sometimes you will get lots of compiler outputs with many warnings and no line of output that says "error: you did something wrong here" but there was still an error. An example of this is a missing header file - the compiler says something like "no such file" but not "error: no such file", then it exits with non-zero exit code some time later (perhaps after many more warnings). Make will bomb out with an error message in these cases!

Remove all special characters, punctuation and spaces from string

The most generic approach is using the 'categories' of the unicodedata table which classifies every single character. E.g. the following code filters only printable characters based on their category:

import unicodedata
# strip of crap characters (based on the Unicode database
# categorization:
# http://www.sql-und-xml.de/unicode-database/#kategorien

PRINTABLE = set(('Lu', 'Ll', 'Nd', 'Zs'))

def filter_non_printable(s):
    result = []
    ws_last = False
    for c in s:
        c = unicodedata.category(c) in PRINTABLE and c or u'#'
        result.append(c)
    return u''.join(result).replace(u'#', u' ')

Look at the given URL above for all related categories. You also can of course filter by the punctuation categories.

Why there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT clause?

Well a fix for you could be to put it on the UpdatedDate field and have a trigger that updates the AddedDate field with the UpdatedDate value only if AddedDate is null.

PHP append one array to another (not array_push or +)

array_merge is the elegant way:

$a = array('a', 'b');
$b = array('c', 'd');
$merge = array_merge($a, $b); 
// $merge is now equals to array('a','b','c','d');

Doing something like:

$merge = $a + $b;
// $merge now equals array('a','b')

Will not work, because the + operator does not actually merge them. If they $a has the same keys as $b, it won't do anything.

How to set time zone of a java.util.Date?

tl;dr

…parsed … from a String … time zone is not specified … I want to set a specific time zone

LocalDateTime.parse( "2018-01-23T01:23:45.123456789" )  // Parse string, lacking an offset-from-UTC and lacking a time zone, as a `LocalDateTime`.
    .atZone( ZoneId.of( "Africa/Tunis" ) )              // Assign the time zone for which you are certain this date-time was intended. Instantiates a `ZonedDateTime` object.

No Time Zone in j.u.Date

As the other correct answers stated, a java.util.Date has no time zone. It represents UTC/GMT (no time zone offset). Very confusing because its toString method applies the JVM's default time zone when generating a String representation.

Avoid j.u.Date

For this and many other reasons, you should avoid using the built-in java.util.Date & .Calendar & java.text.SimpleDateFormat. They are notoriously troublesome.

Instead use the java.time package bundled with Java 8.

java.time

The java.time classes can represent a moment on the timeline in three ways:

  • UTC (Instant)
  • With an offset (OffsetDateTime with ZoneOffset)
  • With a time zone (ZonedDateTime with ZoneId)

Instant

In java.time, the basic building block is Instant, a moment on the time line in UTC. Use Instant objects for much of your business logic.

Instant instant = Instant.now();

OffsetDateTime

Apply an offset-from-UTC to adjust into some locality’s wall-clock time.

Apply a ZoneOffset to get an OffsetDateTime.

ZoneOffset zoneOffset = ZoneOffset.of( "-04:00" );
OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.ofInstant( instant , zoneOffset );

ZonedDateTime

Better is to apply a time zone, an offset plus the rules for handling anomalies such as Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Apply a ZoneId to an Instant to get a ZonedDateTime. Always specify a proper time zone name. Never use 3-4 abbreviations such as EST or IST that are neither unique nor standardized.

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant( instant , zoneId );

LocalDateTime

If the input string lacked any indicator of offset or zone, parse as a LocalDateTime.

If you are certain of the intended time zone, assign a ZoneId to produce a ZonedDateTime. See code example above in tl;dr section at top.

Formatted Strings

Call the toString method on any of these three classes to generate a String representing the date-time value in standard ISO 8601 format. The ZonedDateTime class extends standard format by appending the name of the time zone in brackets.

String outputInstant = instant.toString(); // Ex: 2011-12-03T10:15:30Z
String outputOdt = odt.toString(); // Ex: 2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00
String outputZdt = zdt.toString(); // Ex: 2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00[Europe/Paris]

For other formats use the DateTimeFormatter class. Generally best to let that class generate localized formats using the user’s expected human language and cultural norms. Or you can specify a particular format.


Table of all date-time types in Java, both modern and legacy


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes. Hibernate 5 & JPA 2.2 support java.time.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?


Joda-Time

While Joda-Time is still actively maintained, its makers have told us to migrate to java.time as soon as is convenient. I leave this section intact as a reference, but I suggest using the java.time section above instead.

In Joda-Time, a date-time object (DateTime) truly does know its assigned time zone. That means an offset from UTC and the rules and history of that time zone’s Daylight Saving Time (DST) and other such anomalies.

String input = "2014-01-02T03:04:05";
DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZone.forID( "Asia/Kolkata" );
DateTime dateTimeIndia = new DateTime( input, timeZone );
DateTime dateTimeUtcGmt = dateTimeIndia.withZone( DateTimeZone.UTC );

Call the toString method to generate a String in ISO 8601 format.

String output = dateTimeIndia.toString();

Joda-Time also offers rich capabilities for generating all kinds of other String formats.

If required, you can convert from Joda-Time DateTime to a java.util.Date.

Java.util.Date date = dateTimeIndia.toDate();

Search StackOverflow for "joda date" to find many more examples, some quite detailed.


Actually there is a time zone embedded in a java.util.Date, used for some internal functions (see comments on this Answer). But this internal time zone is not exposed as a property, and cannot be set. This internal time zone is not the one used by the toString method in generating a string representation of the date-time value; instead the JVM’s current default time zone is applied on-the-fly. So, as shorthand, we often say “j.u.Date has no time zone”. Confusing? Yes. Yet another reason to avoid these tired old classes.

Why does only the first line of this Windows batch file execute but all three lines execute in a command shell?

Try writing the following batch file and executing it:

Echo one
cmd
Echo two
cmd
Echo three
cmd

Only the first two lines get executed. But if you type "exit" at the command prompt, the next two lines are processed. It's a shell loading another.

To be sure that this is not what is happening in your script, just type "exit" when the first command ends.

HTH!

Set transparent background using ImageMagick and commandline prompt

Solution

color=$( convert filename.png -format "%[pixel:p{0,0}]" info:- )
convert filename.png -alpha off -bordercolor $color -border 1 \
    \( +clone -fuzz 30% -fill none -floodfill +0+0 $color \
       -alpha extract -geometry 200% -blur 0x0.5 \
       -morphology erode square:1 -geometry 50% \) \
    -compose CopyOpacity -composite -shave 1 outputfilename.png

Explanation

This is rather a bit longer than the simple answers previously given, but it gives much better results: (1) The quality is superior due to antialiased alpha, and (2) only the background is removed as opposed to a single color. ("Background" is defined as approximately the same color as the top left pixel, using a floodfill from the picture edges.)

Additionally, the alpha channel is also eroded by half a pixel to avoid halos. Of course, ImageMagick's morphological operations don't (yet?) work at the subpixel level, so you can see I am blowing up the alpha channel to 200% before eroding.

Comparison of results

Here is a comparison of the simple approach ("-fuzz 2% -transparent white") versus my solution, when run on the ImageMagick logo. I've flattened both transparent images onto a saddle brown background to make the differences apparent (click for originals).

The simple replacement of white as transparent doesn't always work Antialiased alphachannel and floodfill looks much better

Notice how the Wizard's beard has disappeared in the simple approach. Compare the edges of the Wizard to see how antialiased alpha helps the figure blend smoothly into the background.

Of course, I completely admit there are times when you may wish to use the simpler solution. (For example: It's a heck of a lot easier to remember and if you're converting to GIF, you're limited to 1-bit alpha anyhow.)

mktrans shell script

Since it's unlikely you'll want to type this command repeatedly, I recommend wrapping it in a script. You can download a BASH shell script from github which performs my suggested solution. It can be run on multiple files in a directory and includes helpful comments in case you want to tweak things.

bg_removal script

By the way, ImageMagick actually comes with a script called "bg_removal" which uses floodfill in a similar manner as my solution. However, the results are not great because it still uses 1-bit alpha. Also, the bg_removal script runs slower and is a little bit trickier to use (it requires you to specify two different fuzz values). Here's an example of the output from bg_removal.

The bg_removal script: has beard, but lacks antialiasing

Split by comma and strip whitespace in Python

Split using a regular expression. Note I made the case more general with leading spaces. The list comprehension is to remove the null strings at the front and back.

>>> import re
>>> string = "  blah, lots  ,  of ,  spaces, here "
>>> pattern = re.compile("^\s+|\s*,\s*|\s+$")
>>> print([x for x in pattern.split(string) if x])
['blah', 'lots', 'of', 'spaces', 'here']

This works even if ^\s+ doesn't match:

>>> string = "foo,   bar  "
>>> print([x for x in pattern.split(string) if x])
['foo', 'bar']
>>>

Here's why you need ^\s+:

>>> pattern = re.compile("\s*,\s*|\s+$")
>>> print([x for x in pattern.split(string) if x])
['  blah', 'lots', 'of', 'spaces', 'here']

See the leading spaces in blah?

Clarification: above uses the Python 3 interpreter, but results are the same in Python 2.

How can I setup & run PhantomJS on Ubuntu?

download from phantomjs website the prebuilt package : http://phantomjs.org/download.html then open a terminal and go to the Downloads folder

sudo mv phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 /usr/local/share/.
cd /usr/local/share/
sudo tar xjf phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs

then to check install phantomjs -v should return 1.8.1

Counting repeated characters in a string in Python

For counting a character in a string you have to use YOUR_VARIABLE.count('WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_COUNT').

If summarization is needed you have to use count() function.

variable = 'turkiye'
print(variable.count('u'))

output: 1

Skip first couple of lines while reading lines in Python file

Here is a method to get lines between two line numbers in a file:

import sys

def file_line(name,start=1,end=sys.maxint):
    lc=0
    with open(s) as f:
        for line in f:
            lc+=1
            if lc>=start and lc<=end:
                yield line


s='/usr/share/dict/words'
l1=list(file_line(s,235880))
l2=list(file_line(s,1,10))
print l1
print l2

Output:

['Zyrian\n', 'Zyryan\n', 'zythem\n', 'Zythia\n', 'zythum\n', 'Zyzomys\n', 'Zyzzogeton\n']
['A\n', 'a\n', 'aa\n', 'aal\n', 'aalii\n', 'aam\n', 'Aani\n', 'aardvark\n', 'aardwolf\n', 'Aaron\n']

Just call it with one parameter to get from line n -> EOF

Automatically scroll down chat div

As I am not master in js but I myself write code which check if user is at bottom. If user is at bottom then chat page will automatically scroll with new message. and if user scroll up then page will not auto scroll to bottom..

JS code -

var checkbottom;
jQuery(function($) {
$('.chat_screen').on('scroll', function() {
    var check = $(this).scrollTop() + $(this).innerHeight() >= $(this) 
[0].scrollHeight;
    if(check) {
       checkbottom = "bottom";
    }
    else {
    checkbottom = "nobottom";
    }
})
});
window.setInterval(function(){
if (checkbottom=="bottom") {
var objDiv = document.getElementById("chat_con");
objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
}
}, 500);

html code -

<div id="chat_con" class="chat_screen">
</div>

How can I plot data with confidence intervals?

Here is a solution using functions plot(), polygon() and lines().

 set.seed(1234)
 df <- data.frame(x =1:10,
                 F =runif(10,1,2),
                 L =runif(10,0,1),
                 U =runif(10,2,3))


 plot(df$x, df$F, ylim = c(0,4), type = "l")
 #make polygon where coordinates start with lower limit and 
 # then upper limit in reverse order
 polygon(c(df$x,rev(df$x)),c(df$L,rev(df$U)),col = "grey75", border = FALSE)
 lines(df$x, df$F, lwd = 2)
 #add red lines on borders of polygon
 lines(df$x, df$U, col="red",lty=2)
 lines(df$x, df$L, col="red",lty=2)

"Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo." when using GCC

I'm facing the same issue.

The issue because of X-Code.

Solution: 1. Open X-code and accept user agreement (T&C). or 2. Restart your MAC, It will resolve automatically.

How to compile a 64-bit application using Visual C++ 2010 Express?

As what Jakob said: windows sdk 7.1 cannot be installed if MS VC++ x64 and x86 runtimes and redisrtibutables of version 10.0.40219 are present. after removing them win sdk install is okay, VS C++ SP1 can be installed fine again.

Efficiently replace all accented characters in a string?

Simply should be normalized chain and run a replacement codes:

var str = "Letras Á É Í Ó Ú Ñ - á é í ó ú ñ...";
console.log (str.normalize ("NFKD").replace (/[\u0300-\u036F]/g, ""));
// Letras A E I O U N - a e i o u n...

See normalize

Then you can use this function:

function noTilde (s) {
    if (s.normalize != undefined) {
        s = s.normalize ("NFKD");
    }
    return s.replace (/[\u0300-\u036F]/g, "");
}

cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable

  • the object which implements Comparable is Fegan.

The method compareTo you are overidding in it should have a Fegan object as a parameter whereas you are casting it to a FoodItems. Your compareTo implementation should describe how a Fegan compare to another Fegan.

  • To actually do your sorting, you might want to make your FoodItems implement Comparable aswell and copy paste your actual compareTo logic in it.

How do I enable logging for Spring Security?

Basic debugging using Spring's DebugFilter can be configured like this:

@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web.debug(true);
    }
}

Using Image control in WPF to display System.Drawing.Bitmap

According to http://khason.net/blog/how-to-use-systemdrawingbitmap-hbitmap-in-wpf/

   [DllImport("gdi32")]
   static extern int DeleteObject(IntPtr o);

   public static BitmapSource loadBitmap(System.Drawing.Bitmap source)
   {
       IntPtr ip = source.GetHbitmap();
       BitmapSource bs = null;
       try
       {
           bs = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(ip, 
              IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, 
              System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
       }
       finally
       {
           DeleteObject(ip);
       }

       return bs;
   }

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

image1.Source = YourUtilClass.loadBitmap(SomeBitmap);

Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created

Reference the handle of the associated control in its creator, like so:

Note: Be wary of this solution.If a control has a handle it is much slower to do things like set the size and location of it. This makes InitializeComponent much slower. A better solution is to not background anything before the control has a handle.

Assigning more than one class for one event

Have you tried this:

 function doSomething() {
     if ($(this).hasClass('clickedTag')){
         // code here
     } else {
         // and here
     }
 }

 $('.tag1, .tag2').click(doSomething);

git stash blunder: git stash pop and ended up with merge conflicts

I had a similar thing happen to me. I didn't want to stage the files just yet so I added them with git add and then just did git reset. This basically just added and then unstaged my changes but cleared the unmerged paths.

Remove git mapping in Visual Studio 2015

The above answer did not work for me. The registry entries would just be automatically re-added when I opened the solution in Visual Studio. I found the resolution in one of the links in Matthews answer though so credit still goes to him for the correct answer.

Remove Git binding from Visual Studio 2013 solution?

Remove the hidden .git folder in your solutionfolder.

I also removed the .gitattributes and .gitignore files just to keep my folder clean.

Writing to a TextBox from another thread?

Have a look at Control.BeginInvoke method. The point is to never update UI controls from another thread. BeginInvoke will dispatch the call to the UI thread of the control (in your case, the Form).

To grab the form, remove the static modifier from the sample function and use this.BeginInvoke() as shown in the examples from MSDN.

Force overwrite of local file with what's in origin repo?

I believe what you are looking for is "git restore".

The easiest way is to remove the file locally, and then execute the git restore command for that file:

$ rm file.txt
$ git restore file.txt 

How do we use runOnUiThread in Android?

If using in fragment then simply write

getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Do something on UiThread
    }
});

compare differences between two tables in mysql

I found another solution in this link

SELECT MIN (tbl_name) AS tbl_name, PK, column_list
FROM
 (
  SELECT ' source_table ' as tbl_name, S.PK, S.column_list
  FROM source_table AS S
  UNION ALL
  SELECT 'destination_table' as tbl_name, D.PK, D.column_list
  FROM destination_table AS D 
)  AS alias_table
GROUP BY PK, column_list
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
ORDER BY PK

(change) vs (ngModelChange) in angular

1 - (change) is bound to the HTML onchange event. The documentation about HTML onchange says the following :

Execute a JavaScript when a user changes the selected option of a <select> element

Source : https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onchange.asp

2 - As stated before, (ngModelChange) is bound to the model variable binded to your input.

So, my interpretation is :

  • (change) triggers when the user changes the input
  • (ngModelChange) triggers when the model changes, whether it's consecutive to a user action or not

PadLeft function in T-SQL

Create Function :

    Create FUNCTION [dbo].[PadLeft]
      (
        @Text NVARCHAR(MAX) ,
        @Replace NVARCHAR(MAX) ,
        @Len INT
      )
RETURNS NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
    BEGIN 


        DECLARE @var NVARCHAR(MAX) 

        SELECT @var = ISNULL(LTRIM(RTRIM(@Text)) , '')


        RETURN   RIGHT(REPLICATE(@Replace,@Len)+ @var, @Len)


    END

Example:

Select dbo.PadLeft('123456','0',8)

Can you write virtual functions / methods in Java?

All non-private instance methods are virtual by default in Java.

In C++, private methods can be virtual. This can be exploited for the non-virtual-interface (NVI) idiom. In Java, you'd need to make the NVI overridable methods protected.

From the Java Language Specification, v3:

8.4.8.1 Overriding (by Instance Methods) An instance method m1 declared in a class C overrides another instance method, m2, declared in class A iff all of the following are true:

  1. C is a subclass of A.
  2. The signature of m1 is a subsignature (§8.4.2) of the signature of m2.
  3. Either * m2 is public, protected or declared with default access in the same package as C, or * m1 overrides a method m3, m3 distinct from m1, m3 distinct from m2, such that m3 overrides m2.

How to concat two ArrayLists?

var arr3 = new arraylist();
for(int i=0, j=0, k=0; i<arr1.size()+arr2.size(); i++){
    if(i&1)
        arr3.add(arr1[j++]);
    else
        arr3.add(arr2[k++]);
}

as you say, "the names and numbers beside each other".

Truncate Two decimal places without rounding

If you don't worry too much about performance and your end result can be a string, the following approach will be resilient to floating precision issues:

string Truncate(double value, int precision)
{
    if (precision < 0)
    {
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Precision cannot be less than zero");
    }

    string result = value.ToString();

    int dot = result.IndexOf('.');
    if (dot < 0)
    {
        return result;
    }

    int newLength = dot + precision + 1;

    if (newLength == dot + 1)
    {
        newLength--;
    }

    if (newLength > result.Length)
    {
        newLength = result.Length;
    }

    return result.Substring(0, newLength);
}

Better way to generate array of all letters in the alphabet

for (char letter = 'a'; letter <= 'z'; letter++)
{
    System.out.println(letter);

Clear dropdown using jQuery Select2

You should use this one :

   $('#remote').val(null).trigger("change");

Angular2 equivalent of $document.ready()

I went with this solution so I didn't have to include my custom js code within the component other than the jQuery $.getScript function.

Note: Has a dependency on jQuery. So you will need jQuery and jQuery typings.

I have found this is a good way to get around custom or vendor js files that do not have typings available that way TypeScript doesn't scream at you when you go to start your app.

import { Component,AfterViewInit} from '@angular/core'

@Component({
  selector: 'ssContent',
  templateUrl: 'app/content/content.html',
})
export class ContentComponent implements AfterViewInit  {

  ngAfterViewInit(){
    $.getScript('../js/myjsfile.js');
  }
}

Update Actually in my scenario the OnInit lifecycle event worked better because it prevented the script from loading after the views were loaded, which was the case with ngAfterViewInit, and that cause the view to show incorrect element positions prior to the script loading.

ngOnInit() {
    $.getScript('../js/mimity.js');
  }

JQuery Parsing JSON array

Use the parseJSON method:

var json = '["City1","City2","City3"]';
var arr = $.parseJSON(json);

Then you have an array with the city names.

Converting Select results into Insert script - SQL Server

1- Explanation of Scripts

A)Syntax for inserting data in table is as below

Insert into table(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5)    

             -- To achieve this part i    
             --have used below variable
                ------@CSV_COLUMN-------

values(Col1 data in quote, Col2..quote,..Col5..quote)

-- To achieve this part 
-- i.e column data in 
--quote i have used 
--below variable
----@QUOTED_DATA---

C)To get above data from existing table we have to write the select query in such way that the output will be in form of as above scripts

D)Then Finally i have Concatenated above variable to create final script that's will generate insert script on execution

E)

@TEXT='SELECT ''INSERT INTO
 '+@TABLE_NAME+'('+@CSV_COLUMN+')VALUES('''+'+'+SUBSTRING(@QUOTED_DATA,1,LEN(@QUOTED_DATA)-5)+'+'+''')'''+' Insert_Scripts FROM '+@TABLE_NAME + @FILTER_CONDITION

F)And Finally Executed the above query EXECUTE(TEXT)

G)QUOTENAME() function is used to wrap column data inside quote

H)ISNULL is used because if any row has NULL data for any column the query fails and return NULL thats why to avoid that i have used ISNULL

I)And created the sp sp_generate_insertscripts for same

1- Just put the table name for which you want insert script

2- Filter condition if you want specific results

----------Final Procedure To generate Script------

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_generate_insertscripts
(
    @TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(MAX),
    @FILTER_CONDITION VARCHAR(MAX)=''
)
AS
BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @CSV_COLUMN VARCHAR(MAX),
        @QUOTED_DATA VARCHAR(MAX),
        @TEXT VARCHAR(MAX)

SELECT @CSV_COLUMN=STUFF
(
    (
     SELECT ',['+ NAME +']' FROM sys.all_columns 
     WHERE OBJECT_ID=OBJECT_ID(@TABLE_NAME) AND 
     is_identity!=1 FOR XML PATH('')
    ),1,1,''
)

SELECT @QUOTED_DATA=STUFF
(
    (
     SELECT ' ISNULL(QUOTENAME('+NAME+','+QUOTENAME('''','''''')+'),'+'''NULL'''+')+'','''+'+' FROM sys.all_columns 
     WHERE OBJECT_ID=OBJECT_ID(@TABLE_NAME) AND 
     is_identity!=1 FOR XML PATH('')
    ),1,1,''
)

SELECT @TEXT='SELECT ''INSERT INTO '+@TABLE_NAME+'('+@CSV_COLUMN+')VALUES('''+'+'+SUBSTRING(@QUOTED_DATA,1,LEN(@QUOTED_DATA)-5)+'+'+''')'''+' Insert_Scripts FROM '+@TABLE_NAME + @FILTER_CONDITION

--SELECT @CSV_COLUMN AS CSV_COLUMN,@QUOTED_DATA AS QUOTED_DATA,@TEXT TEXT

EXECUTE (@TEXT)

SET NOCOUNT OFF

END

How can I concatenate a string and a number in Python?

You would have to convert the int into a string.

# This program calculates a workers gross pay

hours = float(raw_input("Enter hours worked: \n"))

rate = float(raw_input("Enter your hourly rate of pay: \n"))

gross = hours * rate

print "Your gross pay for working " +str(hours)+ " at a rate of " + str(rate) + " hourly is $"  + str(gross)

How to connect TFS in Visual Studio code

Just as Daniel said "Git and TFVC are the two source control options in TFS". Fortunately both are supported for now in VS Code.

You need to install the Azure Repos Extension for Visual Studio Code. The process of installing is pretty straight forward.

  1. Search for Azure Repos in VS Code and select to install the one by Microsoft
  2. Open File -> Preferences -> Settings
  3. Add the following lines to your user settings

    If you have VS 2015 installed on your machine, your path to Team Foundation tool (tf.exe) may look like this:

    {
        "tfvc.location": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\IDE\\tf.exe",
        "tfvc.restrictWorkspace": true
    }

    Or for VS 2017:

    {
        "tfvc.location": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Enterprise\\Common7\\IDE\\CommonExtensions\\Microsoft\\TeamFoundation\\Team Explorer\\tf.exe",
        "tfvc.restrictWorkspace": true
    }
  4. Open a local folder (repository), From View -> Command Pallette ..., type team signin

  5. Provide user name --> Enter --> Provide password to connect to TFS.

Please refer to below links for more details:

Note that Server Workspaces are not supported:

"TFVC support is limited to Local workspaces":

on installing Azure extension, visual studio code warns you "It appears you are using a Server workspace. Currently, TFVC support is limited to Local workspaces"

Cluster analysis in R: determine the optimal number of clusters

The answers are great. If you want to give a chance to another clustering method you can use hierarchical clustering and see how data is splitting.

> set.seed(2)
> x=matrix(rnorm(50*2), ncol=2)
> hc.complete = hclust(dist(x), method="complete")
> plot(hc.complete)

enter image description here

Depending on how many classes you need you can cut your dendrogram as;

> cutree(hc.complete,k = 2)
 [1] 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1
[26] 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2

If you type ?cutree you will see the definitions. If your data set has three classes it will be simply cutree(hc.complete, k = 3). The equivalent for cutree(hc.complete,k = 2) is cutree(hc.complete,h = 4.9).

HashMap with multiple values under the same key

The easiest way would be to use a google collection library:

import com.google.common.collect.ArrayListMultimap;
import com.google.common.collect.Multimap;

public class Test {

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

        // multimap can handle one key with a list of values
        final Multimap<String, String> cars = ArrayListMultimap.create();
        cars.put("Nissan", "Qashqai");
        cars.put("Nissan", "Juke");
        cars.put("Bmw", "M3");
        cars.put("Bmw", "330E");
        cars.put("Bmw", "X6");
        cars.put("Bmw", "X5");

        cars.get("Bmw").forEach(System.out::println);

        // It will print the:
        // M3
        // 330E
        // X6
        // X5
    }

}

Delete all files in directory (but not directory) - one liner solution

Java 8 Stream

This deletes only files from ABC (sub-directories are untouched):

Arrays.stream(new File("C:/test/ABC/").listFiles()).forEach(File::delete);

This deletes only files from ABC (and sub-directories):

Files.walk(Paths.get("C:/test/ABC/"))
                .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
                .map(Path::toFile)

In R, dealing with Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class numeric

The error happens because of you are trying to map a numeric vector to data in geom_errorbar: GVW[1:64,3]. ggplot only works with data.frame.

In general, you shouldn't subset inside ggplot calls. You are doing so because your standard errors are stored in four separate objects. Add them to your original data.frame and you will be able to plot everything in one call.

Here with a dplyr solution to summarise the data and compute the standard error beforehand.

library(dplyr)
d <- GVW %>% group_by(Genotype,variable) %>%
    summarise(mean = mean(value),se = sd(value) / sqrt(n()))

ggplot(d, aes(x = variable, y = mean, fill = Genotype)) + 
  geom_bar(position = position_dodge(), stat = "identity", 
      colour="black", size=.3) +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = mean - se, ymax = mean + se), 
      size=.3, width=.2, position=position_dodge(.9)) +
  xlab("Time") +
  ylab("Weight [g]") +
  scale_fill_hue(name = "Genotype", breaks = c("KO", "WT"),

How to Find Item in Dictionary Collection?

Of course, if you want to make sure it's in there otherwise fail then this works:

thisTag = _tags[key];

NOTE: This will fail if the key,value pair does not exists but sometimes that is exactly what you want. This way you can catch it and do something about the error. I would only do this if I am certain that the key,value pair is or should be in the dictionary and if not I want it to know about it via the throw.

Responsive Images with CSS

um responsive is simple

  • first off create a class named cell give it the property of display:table-cell
  • then @ max-width:700px do {display:block; width:100%; clear:both}

and that's it no absolute divs ever; divs needs to be 100% then max-width: - desired width - for inner framming. A true responsive sites has less than 9 lines of css anything passed that you are in a world of shit and over complicated things.

PS : reset.css style sheets are what makes css blinds there was a logical reason why they gave default styles in the first place.

$.ajax - dataType

as per docs:

  • "json": Evaluates the response as JSON and returns a JavaScript object. In jQuery 1.4 the JSON data is parsed in a strict manner; any malformed JSON is rejected and a parse error is thrown. (See json.org for more information on proper JSON formatting.)
  • "text": A plain text string.

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

IMO, you should call it. If your superclass is object, you should not, but in other cases I think it is exceptional not to call it. As already answered by others, it is very convenient if your class doesn't even have to override __init__ itself, for example when it has no (additional) internal state to initialize.

Material Design not styling alert dialogs

UPDATED ON Aug 2019 WITH The Material components for android library:

With the new Material components for Android library you can use the new com.google.android.material.dialog.MaterialAlertDialogBuilder class, which extends from the existing androidx.appcompat.AlertDialog.Builder class and provides support for the latest Material Design specifications.

Just use something like this:

new MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(context)
            .setTitle("Dialog")
            .setMessage("Lorem ipsum dolor ....")
            .setPositiveButton("Ok", /* listener = */ null)
            .setNegativeButton("Cancel", /* listener = */ null)
            .show();

You can customize the colors extending the ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.MaterialAlertDialog style:

  <style name="CustomMaterialDialog" parent="@style/ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.MaterialAlertDialog">
     <!-- Background Color-->
     <item name="android:background">#006db3</item>
     <!-- Text Color for title and message -->
     <item name="colorOnSurface">@color/secondaryColor</item>
     <!-- Text Color for buttons -->
     <item name="colorPrimary">@color/white</item> 
     ....
  </style>  

To apply your custom style just use the constructor:

new MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(context, R.style.CustomMaterialDialog)

enter image description here

To customize the buttons, the title and the body text check this post for more details.

You can also change globally the style in your app theme:

 <!-- Base application theme. -->
 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
    ...
    <item name="materialAlertDialogTheme">@style/CustomMaterialDialog</item>
 </style>

WITH SUPPORT LIBRARY and APPCOMPAT THEME:

With the new AppCompat v22.1 you can use the new android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.

Just use a code like this:

import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog

AlertDialog.Builder builder =
       new AlertDialog.Builder(this, R.style.AppCompatAlertDialogStyle);
builder.setTitle("Dialog");
builder.setMessage("Lorem ipsum dolor ....");
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", null);
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null);
builder.show();

And use a style like this:

<style name="AppCompatAlertDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
        <item name="colorAccent">#FFCC00</item>
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
        <item name="android:background">#5fa3d0</item>
    </style>

Otherwise you can define in your current theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- your style -->
    <item name="alertDialogTheme">@style/AppCompatAlertDialogStyle</item>
</style>

and then in your code:

 import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog

    AlertDialog.Builder builder =
           new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

Here the AlertDialog on Kitkat: enter image description here

<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/YourAssembly;component/Subfolder/YourResourceFile.xaml"/>

Determine if map contains a value for a key?

If you want to determine whether a key is there in map or not, you can use the find() or count() member function of map. The find function which is used here in example returns the iterator to element or map::end otherwise. In case of count the count returns 1 if found, else it returns zero(or otherwise).

if(phone.count(key))
{ //key found
}
else
{//key not found
}

for(int i=0;i<v.size();i++){
    phoneMap::iterator itr=phone.find(v[i]);//I have used a vector in this example to check through map you cal receive a value using at() e.g: map.at(key);
    if(itr!=phone.end())
        cout<<v[i]<<"="<<itr->second<<endl;
    else
        cout<<"Not found"<<endl;
}

How to write std::string to file?

remove the ios::binary from your modes in your ofstream and use studentPassword.c_str() instead of (char *)&studentPassword in your write.write()

How should I store GUID in MySQL tables?

"Better" depends on what you're optimizing for.

How much do you care about storage size/performance vs. ease of development? More importantly - are you generating enough GUIDs, or fetching them frequently enough, that it matters?

If the answer is "no", char(36) is more than good enough, and it makes storing/fetching GUIDs dead-simple. Otherwise, binary(16) is reasonable, but you'll have to lean on MySQL and/or your programming language of choice to convert back and forth from the usual string representation.

Convert a byte array to integer in Java and vice versa

A basic implementation would be something like this:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] input = new int[] { 0x1234, 0x5678, 0x9abc };
        byte[] output = new byte[input.length * 2];

        for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < input.length; i++, j+=2) {
            output[j] = (byte)(input[i] & 0xff);
            output[j+1] = (byte)((input[i] >> 8) & 0xff);
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < output.length; i++)
            System.out.format("%02x\n",output[i]);
    }
}

In order to understand things you can read this WP article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

The above source code will output 34 12 78 56 bc 9a. The first 2 bytes (34 12) represent the first integer, etc. The above source code encodes integers in little endian format.

How can I loop over entries in JSON?

Try this :

import urllib, urllib2, json
url = 'http://openligadb-json.heroku.com/api/teams_by_league_saison?league_saison=2012&league_shortcut=bl1'
request = urllib2.Request(url)
request.add_header('User-Agent','Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)')
request.add_header('Content-Type','application/json')
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
json_object = json.load(response)
#print json_object['results']
if json_object['team'] == []:
    print 'No Data!'
else:
    for rows in json_object['team']:
        print 'Team ID:' + rows['team_id']
        print 'Team Name:' + rows['team_name']
        print 'Team URL:' + rows['team_icon_url']

Stuck while installing Visual Studio 2015 (Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2999226))

Another workaround is to turn off Internet connection, reboot and restart VS installation. Without Internet connectivity VS installer won't try to update Windows first and will continue without delay.

Any implementation of Ordered Set in Java?

IndexedTreeSet from the indexed-tree-map project provides this functionality (ordered/sorted set with list-like access by index).

How do I display image in Alert/confirm box in Javascript?

Short answer: You can't.

Long answer: You could use a modal to display a popup with the image you need.

You can refer to this as an example to a modal.

How to get pandas.DataFrame columns containing specific dtype

There's a new feature in 0.14.1, select_dtypes to select columns by dtype, by providing a list of dtypes to include or exclude.

For example:

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': np.random.randn(1000),
                   'b': range(1000),
                   'c': ['a'] * 1000,
                   'd': pd.date_range('2000-1-1', periods=1000)})


df.select_dtypes(['float64','int64'])

Out[129]: 
            a    b
0    0.153070    0
1    0.887256    1
2   -1.456037    2
3   -1.147014    3
