How can I add a .npmrc file?

In MacOS Catalina 10.15.5 the .npmrc file path can be found at

/Users/<user-name>/.npmrc

Open in it in (for first time users, create a new file) any editor and copy-paste your token. Save it.

You are ready to go.

Note: As mentioned by @oligofren, the command npm config ls -l will npm configurations. You will get the .npmrc file from config parameter userconfig

How to check for an empty object in an AngularJS view

You have to just check that the object is null or not. AngularJs provide inbuilt directive ng-if. An example is given below.

<tr ng-repeat="key in object" ng-if="object != 'null'" >
    <td>{{object.key}}</td>
    <td>{{object.key}}</td>
</tr>

How do I POST with multipart form data using fetch?

I was recently working with IPFS and worked this out. A curl example for IPFS to upload a file looks like this:

curl -i -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=CUSTOM" -d $'--CUSTOM\r\nContent-Type: multipart/octet-stream\r\nContent-Disposition: file; filename="test"\r\n\r\nHello World!\n--CUSTOM--' "http://localhost:5001/api/v0/add"

The basic idea is that each part (split by string in boundary with --) has it's own headers (Content-Type in the second part, for example.) The FormData object manages all this for you, so it's a better way to accomplish our goals.

This translates to fetch API like this:

const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('blob', new Blob(['Hello World!\n']), 'test')

fetch('http://localhost:5001/api/v0/add', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: formData
})
.then(r => r.json())
.then(data => {
  console.log(data)
})

How to retrieve a file from a server via SFTP?

Andy, to delete file on remote system you need to use (channelExec) of JSch and pass unix/linux commands to delete it.

oracle varchar to number

If you want formated number then use

SELECT TO_CHAR(number, 'fmt')
   FROM DUAL;

SELECT TO_CHAR('123', 999.99)
   FROM DUAL;

Result 123.00

Should I learn C before learning C++?

Learning C forces you to think harder about some issues such as explicit and implicit memory management or storage sizes of basic data types at the time you write your code.

Once you have reached a point where you feel comfortable around C's features and misfeatures, you will probably have less trouble learning and writing in C++.

It is entirely possible that the C++ code you have seen did not look much different from standard C, but that may well be because it was not object oriented and did not use exceptions, object-orientation, templates or other advanced features.

How do you Encrypt and Decrypt a PHP String?

I'm late to the party, but searching for the correct way to do it I came across this page it was one of the top Google search returns, so I will like to share my view on the problem, which I consider it to be up to date at the time of writing this post (beginning of 2017). From PHP 7.1.0 the mcrypt_decrypt and mcrypt_encrypt is going to be deprecated, so building future proof code should use openssl_encrypt and openssl_decrypt

You can do something like:

$string_to_encrypt="Test";
$password="password";
$encrypted_string=openssl_encrypt($string_to_encrypt,"AES-128-ECB",$password);
$decrypted_string=openssl_decrypt($encrypted_string,"AES-128-ECB",$password);

Important: This uses ECB mode, which isn't secure. If you want a simple solution without taking a crash course in cryptography engineering, don't write it yourself, just use a library.

You can use any other chipper methods as well, depending on your security need. To find out the available chipper methods please see the openssl_get_cipher_methods function.

How can I create objects while adding them into a vector?

To answer the first part of your question, you must create an object of type Player before you can use it. When you say push_back(Player), it means "add the Player class to the vector", not "add an object of type Player to the vector" (which is what you meant).

You can create the object on the stack like this:

Player player;
vectorOfGamers.push_back(player);    // <-- name of variable, not type

Or you can even create a temporary object inline and push that (it gets copied when it's put in the vector):

vectorOfGamers.push_back(Player());    // <-- parentheses create a "temporary"

To answer the second part, you can create a vector of the base type, which will allow you to push back objects of any subtype; however, this won't work as expected:

vector<Gamer> gamers;
gamers.push_back(Dealer());    // Doesn't work properly!

since when the dealer object is put into the vector, it gets copied as a Gamer object -- this means only the Gamer part is copied effectively "slicing" the object. You can use pointers, however, since then only the pointer would get copied, and the object is never sliced:

vector<Gamer*> gamers;
gamers.push_back(new Dealer());    // <-- Allocate on heap with `new`, since we
                                   // want the object to persist while it's
                                   // pointed to

How to debug JavaScript / jQuery event bindings with Firebug or similar tools?

I also found jQuery Debugger in the chrome store. You can click on a dom item and it will show all events bound to it along with the callback function. I was debugging an application where events weren't being removed properly and this helped me track it down in minutes. Obviously this is for chrome though, not firefox.

When should we implement Serializable interface?

The answer to this question is, perhaps surprisingly, never, or more realistically, only when you are forced to for interoperability with legacy code. This is the recommendation in Effective Java, 3rd Edition by Joshua Bloch:

There is no reason to use Java serialization in any new system you write

Oracle's chief architect, Mark Reinhold, is on record as saying removing the current Java serialization mechanism is a long-term goal.


Why Java serialization is flawed

Java provides as part of the language a serialization scheme you can opt in to, by using the Serializable interface. This scheme however has several intractable flaws and should be treated as a failed experiment by the Java language designers.

  • It fundamentally pretends that one can talk about the serialized form of an object. But there are infinitely many serialization schemes, resulting in infinitely many serialized forms. By imposing one scheme, without any way of changing the scheme, applications can not use a scheme most appropriate for them.
  • It is implemented as an additional means of constructing objects, which bypasses any precondition checks your constructors or factory methods perform. Unless tricky, error prone, and difficult to test extra deserialization code is written, your code probably has a gaping security weakness.
  • Testing interoperability of different versions of the serialized form is very difficult.
  • Handling of immutable objects is troublesome.

What to do instead

Instead, use a serialization scheme that you can explicitly control. Such as Protocol Buffers, JSON, XML, or your own custom scheme.

How to remove td border with html?

simple solution from my end is to keep another Table with border and insert your table in the outer table.

<table border="1">
<tr>
    <td>
        <table border="0">
            <tr>
                <td>one</td>
                <td>two</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>one</td>
                <td>two</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
</tr>

</table>

What is the purpose of "&&" in a shell command?

Furthermore, you also have || which is the logical or, and also ; which is just a separator which doesn't care what happend to the command before.

$ false || echo "Oops, fail"
Oops, fail

$ true || echo "Will not be printed"
$  

$ true && echo "Things went well"
Things went well

$ false && echo "Will not be printed"
$

$ false ; echo "This will always run"
This will always run

Some details about this can be found here Lists of Commands in the Bash Manual.

no matching function for call to ' '

You are passing pointers (Complex*) when your function takes references (const Complex&). A reference and a pointer are entirely different things. When a function expects a reference argument, you need to pass it the object directly. The reference only means that the object is not copied.

To get an object to pass to your function, you would need to dereference your pointers:

Complex::distanta(*firstComplexNumber, *secondComplexNumber);

Or get your function to take pointer arguments.

However, I wouldn't really suggest either of the above solutions. Since you don't need dynamic allocation here (and you are leaking memory because you don't delete what you have newed), you're better off not using pointers in the first place:

Complex firstComplexNumber(81, 93);
Complex secondComplexNumber(31, 19);
Complex::distanta(firstComplexNumber, secondComplexNumber);

How to get ° character in a string in python?

>>> u"\u00b0"
u'\xb0'
>>> print _
°

BTW, all I did was search "unicode degree" on Google. This brings up two results: "Degree sign U+00B0" and "Degree Celsius U+2103", which are actually different:

>>> u"\u2103"
u'\u2103'
>>> print _

Error in if/while (condition) {: missing Value where TRUE/FALSE needed

The evaluation of condition resulted in an NA. The if conditional must have either a TRUE or FALSE result.

if (NA) {}
## Error in if (NA) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

This can happen accidentally as the results of calculations:

if(TRUE && sqrt(-1)) {}
## Error in if (TRUE && sqrt(-1)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

To test whether an object is missing use is.na(x) rather than x == NA.


See also the related errors:

Error in if/while (condition) { : argument is of length zero

Error in if/while (condition) : argument is not interpretable as logical

if (NULL) {}
## Error in if (NULL) { : argument is of length zero

How can I use ":" as an AWK field separator?

There isn't any need to write this much. Just put your desired field separator with the -F option in the AWK command and the column number you want to print segregated as per your mentioned field separator.

echo "1: " | awk -F: '{print $1}'
1

echo "1#2" | awk -F# '{print $1}'
1

What is the difference between @Inject and @Autowired in Spring Framework? Which one to use under what condition?

Better use @Inject all the time. Because it is java configuration approach(provided by sun) which makes our application agnostic to the framework. So if you spring also your classes will work.

If you use @Autowired it will works only with spring because @Autowired is spring provided annotation.

How to Set JPanel's Width and Height?

please, something went xxx*x, and that's not true at all, check that

JButton Size - java.awt.Dimension[width=400,height=40]
JPanel Size - java.awt.Dimension[width=640,height=480]
JFrame Size - java.awt.Dimension[width=646,height=505]

code (basic stuff from Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing , and yet I still satisfied that that would be outdated )

EDIT: forget setDefaultCloseOperation()

How can I retrieve Id of inserted entity using Entity framework?

It is pretty easy. If you are using DB generated Ids (like IDENTITY in MS SQL) you just need to add entity to ObjectSet and SaveChanges on related ObjectContext. Id will be automatically filled for you:

using (var context = new MyContext())
{
  context.MyEntities.Add(myNewObject);
  context.SaveChanges();

  int id = myNewObject.Id; // Yes it's here
}

Entity framework by default follows each INSERT with SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() when auto-generated Ids are used.

How to run a command in the background on Windows?

Use the start command with the /b flag to run a command/application without opening a new window. For example, this runs dotnet run in the background:

start /b dotnet run

You can pass parameters to the command/application too. For example, I'm starting 3 instances of this C# project, with parameter values of x, y, and z:

enter image description here

To stop the program(s) running in the background: CTRL + BREAK

In my experience, this stops all of the background commands/programs you have started in that cmd instance.

According to the Microsoft docs:

CTRL+C handling is ignored unless the application enables CTRL+C processing. Use CTRL+BREAK to interrupt the application.

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near ' '

For the OP's command:

select compid,2, convert(datetime, '01/01/' + CONVERT(char(4),cal_yr) ,101) ,0,  Update_dt, th1, th2, th3_pc , Update_id, Update_dt,1
from  #tmp_CTF** 

I get this error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near '*'.

when debugging something like this split the long line up so you'll get a better row number:

select compid
,2
, convert(datetime
, '01/01/' 
+ CONVERT(char(4)
,cal_yr) 
,101) 
,0
,  Update_dt
, th1
, th2
, th3_pc 
, Update_id
, Update_dt
,1
from  #tmp_CTF** 

this now results in:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near '*'.

which is probably just from the OP not putting the entire command in the question, or use [ ] braces to signify the table name:

from [#tmp_CTF**]

if that is the table name.

How to see the CREATE VIEW code for a view in PostgreSQL?

These is a little thing to point out.
Using the function pg_get_viewdef or pg_views or information_schema.views you will always get a rewrited version of your original DDL.
The rewited version may or not be the same as your originl DDL script.

If the Rule Manager rewrite your view definition your original DLL will be lost and you will able to read the only the rewrited version of your view definition.
Not all views are rewrited but if you use sub-select or joins probably your views will be rewrited.

SHOW PROCESSLIST in MySQL command: sleep

Sleep meaning that thread is do nothing. Time is too large beacuse anthor thread query,but not disconnect server, default wait_timeout=28800;so you can set values smaller,eg 10. also you can kill the thread.

jQuery - If element has class do this

First, you're missing some parentheses in your conditional:

if ($("#about").hasClass("opened")) {
  $("#about").animate({right: "-700px"}, 2000);
}

But you can also simplify this to:

$('#about.opened').animate(...);

If #about doesn't have the opened class, it won't animate.

If the problem is with the animation itself, we'd need to know more about your element positioning (absolute? absolute inside relative parent? does the parent have layout?)

Graphviz: How to go from .dot to a graph?

Get the graphviz-2.24.msi Graphviz.org. Then get zgrviewer.

Zgrviewer requires java (probably 1.5+). You might have to set the paths to the Graphviz binaries in Zgrviewer's preferences.

File -> Open -> Open with dot -> SVG pipeline (standard) ... Pick your .dot file.

You can zoom in, export, all kinds of fun stuff.

Create an array with random values

from the page suggested by @Phrogz

for (var i=0,nums=[];i<49;i++) nums[i]={ n:i, rand:Math.random() };
nums.sort( function(a,b){ a=a.rand; b=b.rand; return a<b?-1:a>b?1:0 } );

How to get process ID of background process?

You might also be able to use pstree:

pstree -p user

This typically gives a text representation of all the processes for the "user" and the -p option gives the process-id. It does not depend, as far as I understand, on having the processes be owned by the current shell. It also shows forks.

Alternative for frames in html5 using iframes

While I agree with everyone else, if you are dead set on using frames anyway, you can just do index.html in XHTML and then do the contents of the frames in HTML5.

ASP.NET Core Get Json Array using IConfiguration

If you have array of complex JSON objects like this:

      { "Key": "Key1", "Value":  "Value1" },
      { "Key": "Key2", "Value":  "Value2" }
    ]
  }
}

You can retrieve settings this way:

var valuesSection = configuration.GetSection("MySettings:MyValues");
foreach (IConfigurationSection section in valuesSection.GetChildren())
{
    var key = section.GetValue<string>("Key");
    var value = section.GetValue<string>("Value");

How to resolve Unneccessary Stubbing exception

Well, In my case Mockito error was telling me to call the actual method after the when or whenever stub. Since we were not invoking the conditions that we just mocked, Mockito was reporting that as unnecessary stubs or code.

Here is what it was like when the error was coming :

@Test
fun `should return error when item list is empty for getStockAvailability`() {
    doAnswer(
        Answer<Void> { invocation ->
            val callback =
                invocation.arguments[1] as GetStockApiCallback<StockResultViewState.Idle, StockResultViewState.Error>
            callback.onApiCallError(stockResultViewStateError)
            null
        }
    ).whenever(stockViewModelTest)
        .getStockAvailability(listOf(), getStocksApiCallBack)
}

then I just called the actual method mentioned in when statement to mock the method.

changes done is as below stockViewModelTest.getStockAvailability(listOf(), getStocksApiCallBack)

@Test
fun `should return error when item list is empty for getStockAvailability`() {
    doAnswer(
        Answer<Void> { invocation ->
            val callback =
                invocation.arguments[1] as GetStockApiCallback<StockResultViewState.Idle, StockResultViewState.Error>
            callback.onApiCallError(stockResultViewStateError)
            null
        }
    ).whenever(stockViewModelTest)
        .getStockAvailability(listOf(), getStocksApiCallBack)
    //called the actual method here
    stockViewModelTest.getStockAvailability(listOf(), getStocksApiCallBack)
}

it's working now.

jQuery .val() vs .attr("value")

this example may be useful:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<html>_x000D_
  <head>_x000D_
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
  </head>_x000D_
  <body>_x000D_
 <input id="test" type="text"  />_x000D_
 <button onclick="testF()" >click</button>_x000D_
 _x000D_
 _x000D_
 <script>_x000D_
 function testF(){_x000D_
 _x000D_
  alert($('#test').attr('value'));_x000D_
  alert( $('#test').prop('value'));_x000D_
  alert($('#test').val());_x000D_
  }_x000D_
 </script>_x000D_
  </body>_x000D_
 </html>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

in above example, everything works perfectly. but if you change the version of jquery to 1.9.1 or newer in script tag you will see "undefined" in the first alert. attr('value') doesn't work with jquery version 1.9.1 or newer.

How to apply multiple transforms in CSS?

You can also apply multiple transforms using an extra layer of markup e.g.:

<h3 class="rotated-heading">
    <span class="scaled-up">Hey!</span>
</h3>
<style type="text/css">
.rotated-heading
{
    transform: rotate(10deg);
}

.scaled-up
{
    transform: scale(1.5);
}
</style>

This can be really useful when animating elements with transforms using Javascript.

I have installed the runtime without it asking for SQL Server 2012. Before installing try uninstalling any previous versions of report viewer.

Apache default VirtualHost

An alternative setting is to have the default virtual host at the end of the config file rather than the beginning. This way, all alternative virtual hosts will be checked before being matched by the default virtual host.

Example:

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

...

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName host1
        DocumentRoot /someDir
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName host2
        DocumentRoot /someOtherDir
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /defaultDir
</VirtualHost>

Close Bootstrap modal on form submit

If you do not want to use jQuery, make the button type a normal button and add a click listener pointing to the function you would like to execute, and send the form in as a parameter. The button would be as follows:

<button (click)="yourSubmitFunction(yourForm)" [disabled]="!yourForm.valid" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Save changes</button>

Remember to remove: (ngSubmit)="yourSubmitFunction(yourForm)" from the form div if you use this method.

Regex matching beginning AND end strings

If you're searching for hits within a larger text, you don't want to use ^ and $ as some other responders have said; those match the beginning and end of the text. Try this instead:

\bdbo\.\w+_fn\b

\b is a word boundary: it matches a position that is either preceded by a word character and not followed by one, or followed by a word character and not preceded by one. This regex will find what you're looking for in any of these strings:

dbo.functionName_fn
foo dbo.functionName_fn bar
(dbo.functionName_fn)

...but not in this one:

foodbo.functionName_fnbar

\w+ matches one or more "word characters" (letters, digits, or _). If you need something more inclusive, you can try \S+ (one or more non-whitespace characters) or .+? (one or more of any characters except linefeeds, non-greedily). The non-greedy +? prevents it from accidentally matching something like dbo.func1_fn dbo.func2_fn as if it were just one hit.

What is the best workaround for the WCF client `using` block issue?

My method of doing this has been to create an inherited class that explicitly implements IDisposable. This is useful for folks who use the gui to add the service reference ( Add Service Reference ). I just drop this class in the project making the service reference and use it instead of the default client:

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using MyApp.MyService; // The name you gave the service namespace

namespace MyApp.Helpers.Services
{
    public class MyServiceClientSafe : MyServiceClient, IDisposable
    {
        void IDisposable.Dispose()
        {
            if (State == CommunicationState.Faulted)
            {
                Abort();
            }
            else if (State != CommunicationState.Closed)
            {
                Close();
            }

            // Further error checks and disposal logic as desired..
        }
    }
}

Note: This is just a simple implementation of dispose, you can implement more complex dispose logic if you like.

You can then replace all your calls made with the regular service client with the safe clients, like this:

using (MyServiceClientSafe client = new MyServiceClientSafe())
{
    var result = client.MyServiceMethod();
}

I like this solution as it does not require me to have access to the Interface definitions and I can use the using statement as I would expect while allowing my code to look more or less the same.

You will still need to handle the exceptions which can be thrown as pointed out in other comments in this thread.

What is the difference between "JPG" / "JPEG" / "PNG" / "BMP" / "GIF" / "TIFF" Image?

The file extension tells you how the image is saved. Some of those formats just save the bits as they are, some compress the image in different ways, including lossless and lossy methods. The Web can tell you, although I know some of the patient responders will outline them here.

The web favors gif, jpg, and png, mostly. JPEG is the same (or very close) to jpg.

What exactly is nullptr?

How is it a keyword and an instance of a type?

This isn't surprising. Both true and false are keywords and as literals they have a type ( bool ). nullptr is a pointer literal of type std::nullptr_t, and it's a prvalue (you cannot take the address of it using &).

  • 4.10 about pointer conversion says that a prvalue of type std::nullptr_t is a null pointer constant, and that an integral null pointer constant can be converted to std::nullptr_t. The opposite direction is not allowed. This allows overloading a function for both pointers and integers, and passing nullptr to select the pointer version. Passing NULL or 0 would confusingly select the int version.

  • A cast of nullptr_t to an integral type needs a reinterpret_cast, and has the same semantics as a cast of (void*)0 to an integral type (mapping implementation defined). A reinterpret_cast cannot convert nullptr_t to any pointer type. Rely on the implicit conversion if possible or use static_cast.

  • The Standard requires that sizeof(nullptr_t) be sizeof(void*).

how to include glyphicons in bootstrap 3

I think your particular problem isn't how to use Glyphicons but understanding how Bootstrap files work together.

Bootstrap requires a specific file structure to work. I see from your code you have this:

<link href="bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

Your Bootstrap.css is being loaded from the same location as your page, this would create a problem if you didn't adjust your file structure.

But first, let me recommend you setup your folder structure like so:

/css      <-- Bootstrap.css here
/fonts    <-- Bootstrap fonts here
/img
/js       <-- Bootstrap JavaScript here
index.html

If you notice, this is also how Bootstrap structures its files in its download ZIP.

You then include your Bootstrap file like so:

<link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
or
<link href="./css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
or
<link href="/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

Depending on your server structure or what you're going for.

The first and second are relative to your file's current directory. The second one is just more explicit by saying "here" (./) first then css folder (/css).

The third is good if you're running a web server, and you can just use relative to root notation as the leading "/" will be always start at the root folder.

So, why do this?

Bootstrap.css has this specific line for Glyphfonts:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    src: url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot');
    src: url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons-halflingsregular') format('svg');
}

What you can see is that that Glyphfonts are loaded by going up one directory ../ and then looking for a folder called /fonts and THEN loading the font file.

The URL address is relative to the location of the CSS file. So, if your CSS file is at the same location like this:

/fonts
Bootstrap.css
index.html

The CSS file is going one level deeper than looking for a /fonts folder.

So, let's say the actual location of these files are:

C:\www\fonts
C:\www\Boostrap.css
C:\www\index.html

The CSS file would technically be looking for a folder at:

C:\fonts

but your folder is actually in:

C:\www\fonts

So see if that helps. You don't have to do anything 'special' to load Bootstrap Glyphicons, except make sure your folder structure is set up appropriately.

When you get that fixed, your HTML should simply be:

<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-comment"></span>

Note, you need both classes. The first class glyphicon sets up the basic styles while glyphicon-comment sets the specific image.

Android SDK Manager Not Installing Components

I had a similar issue - very slow xml downloads followed by an empty package list. The SDK, it seems, was trying to use legacy Java installation. Setting the JAVA_HOME to the 1.6 jdk did the trick.

How to check if file already exists in the folder

Dim SourcePath As String = "c:\SomeFolder\SomeFileYouWantToCopy.txt" 'This is just an example string and could be anything, it maps to fileToCopy in your code.
Dim SaveDirectory As string = "c:\DestinationFolder"

Dim Filename As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(SourcePath) 'get the filename of the original file without the directory on it
Dim SavePath As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(SaveDirectory, Filename) 'combines the saveDirectory and the filename to get a fully qualified path.

If System.IO.File.Exists(SavePath) Then
   'The file exists
Else
    'the file doesn't exist
End If

Split string and get first value only

You can do it:

var str = "Doctor Who,Fantasy,Steven Moffat,David Tennant";

var title = str.Split(',').First();

Also you can do it this way:

var index = str.IndexOf(",");
var title = index < 0 ? str : str.Substring(0, index);

Mocha / Chai expect.to.throw not catching thrown errors

One other possible implementation, more cumbersome than the .bind() solution, but one that helps to make the point that expect() requires a function that provides a this context to the covered function, you can use a call(), e.g.,

expect(function() {model.get.call(model, 'z');}).to.throw('...');

Sql query to insert datetime in SQL Server

Management studio creates scripts like:

How do you declare an interface in C++?

The whole reason you have a special Interface type-category in addition to abstract base classes in C#/Java is because C#/Java do not support multiple inheritance.

C++ supports multiple inheritance, and so a special type isn't needed. An abstract base class with no non-abstract (pure virtual) methods is functionally equivalent to a C#/Java interface.

Twitter Bootstrap Multilevel Dropdown Menu

This example is from http://bootsnipp.com/snippets/featured/multi-level-dropdown-menu-bs3

How to upload a file in Django?

I also had the similar requirement. Most of the examples on net are asking to create models and create forms which I did not wanna use. Here is my final code.

if request.method == 'POST':
    file1 = request.FILES['file']
    contentOfFile = file1.read()
    if file1:
        return render(request, 'blogapp/Statistics.html', {'file': file1, 'contentOfFile': contentOfFile})

And in HTML to upload I wrote:

{% block content %}
    <h1>File content</h1>
    <form action="{% url 'blogapp:uploadComplete'%}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
         {% csrf_token %}
        <input id="uploadbutton" type="file" value="Browse" name="file" accept="text/csv" />
        <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
    </form>
    {% endblock %}

Following is the HTML which displays content of file:

{% block content %}
    <h3>File uploaded successfully</h3>
    {{file.name}}
    </br>content = {{contentOfFile}}
{% endblock %}

How to set cell spacing and UICollectionView - UICollectionViewFlowLayout size ratio?

If you are looking for Swift 3, Follow the steps to achieve this:

func viewDidLoad() {

    //Define Layout here
    let layout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()

    //Get device width
    let width = UIScreen.main.bounds.width

    //set section inset as per your requirement.
    layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5)

    //set cell item size here 
    layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: width / 2, height: width / 2)

    //set Minimum spacing between 2 items
    layout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0

    //set minimum vertical line spacing here between two lines in collectionview
    layout.minimumLineSpacing = 0

    //apply defined layout to collectionview
    collectionView!.collectionViewLayout = layout

}

This is verified on Xcode 8.0 with Swift 3.

jQuery first child of "this"

I've just written a plugin which uses .firstElementChild if possible, and falls back to iterating over each individual node if necessary:

(function ($) {
    var useElementChild = ('firstElementChild' in document.createElement('div'));

    $.fn.firstChild = function () {
        return this.map(function() {
            if (useElementChild) {
                return this.firstElementChild;
            } else {
                var node = this.firstChild;
                while (node) {
                    if (node.type === 1) {
                        break;
                    }
                    node = node.nextSibling;
                }
                return node;
            }
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

It's not as fast as a pure DOM solution, but in jsperf tests under Chrome 24 it was a couple of orders of magnitude faster than any other jQuery selector-based method.

Merge DLL into EXE?

For .NET Framework 4.5

ILMerge.exe /target:winexe /targetplatform:"v4,C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0" /out:finish.exe insert1.exe insert2.dll

ILMerge

  1. Open CMD and cd to your directory. Let's say: cd C:\test
  2. Insert the above code.
  3. /out:finish.exe replace finish.exe with any filename you want.
  4. Behind the /out:finish.exe you have to give the files you want to be combined.

How does Subquery in select statement work in oracle

In the Oracle RDBMS, it is possible to use a multi-row subquery in the select clause as long as the (sub-)output is encapsulated as a collection. In particular, a multi-row select clause subquery can output each of its rows as an xmlelement that is encapsulated in an xmlforest.

Pandas - 'Series' object has no attribute 'colNames' when using apply()

When you use df.apply(), each row of your DataFrame will be passed to your lambda function as a pandas Series. The frame's columns will then be the index of the series and you can access values using series[label].

So this should work:

df['D'] = (df.apply(lambda x: myfunc(x[colNames[0]], x[colNames[1]]), axis=1))

Using IF ELSE in Oracle

IF is a PL/SQL construct. If you are executing a query, you are using SQL not PL/SQL.

In SQL, you can use a CASE statement in the query itself

SELECT DISTINCT a.item, 
                (CASE WHEN b.salesman = 'VIKKIE'
                      THEN 'ICKY'
                      ELSE b.salesman
                  END), 
                NVL(a.manufacturer,'Not Set') Manufacturer
  FROM inv_items a, 
       arv_sales b
 WHERE  a.co = '100'
   AND a.co = b.co
   AND A.ITEM_KEY = b.item_key   
   AND a.item LIKE 'BX%'
   AND b.salesman in ('01','15')
   AND trans_date BETWEEN to_date('010113','mmddrr')
                      and to_date('011713','mmddrr')
ORDER BY a.item

Since you aren't doing any aggregation, you don't want a GROUP BY in your query. Are you really sure that you need the DISTINCT? People often throw that in haphazardly or add it when they are missing a join condition rather than considering whether it is really necessary to do the extra work to identify and remove duplicates.

Xcode 4: How do you view the console?

You can always see the console in a different window by opening the Organiser, clicking on the Devices tab, choosing your device and selecting it's console.

Of course, this doesn't work for the simulator :(

taking input of a string word by word

getline is storing the entire line at once, which is not what you want. A simple fix is to have three variables and use cin to get them all. C++ will parse automatically at the spaces.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string a, b, c;
    cin >> a >> b >> c;
    //now you have your three words
    return 0;
}

I don't know what particular "operation" you're talking about, so I can't help you there, but if it's changing characters, read up on string and indices. The C++ documentation is great. As for using namespace std; versus std:: and other libraries, there's already been a lot said. Try these questions on StackOverflow to start.

Critical t values in R

Josh's comments are spot on. If you are not super familiar with critical values I'd suggest playing with qt, reading the manual (?qt) in conjunction with looking at a look up table (LINK). When I first moved from SPSS to R I created a function that made critical t value look up pretty easy (I'd never use this now as it takes too much time and with the p values that are generally provided in the output it's a moot point). Here's the code for that:

critical.t <- function(){
    cat("\n","\bEnter Alpha Level","\n")
    alpha<-scan(n=1,what = double(0),quiet=T)
    cat("\n","\b1 Tailed or 2 Tailed:\nEnter either 1 or 2","\n")
    tt <- scan(n=1,what = double(0),quiet=T)
    cat("\n","\bEnter Number of Observations","\n")
    n <- scan(n=1,what = double(0),quiet=T)
    cat("\n\nCritical Value =",qt(1-(alpha/tt), n-2), "\n")
}

critical.t()

public static const in TypeScript

The following solution also works as of TS 1.7.5.

// Constancts.ts    
export const kNotFoundInArray = -1;
export const AppConnectionError = new Error("The application was unable to connect!");
export const ReallySafeExtensions = ["exe", "virus", "1337h4x"];

To use:

// Main.ts    
import {ReallySafeExtensions, kNotFoundInArray} from "./Constants";

if (ReallySafeExtensions.indexOf("png") === kNotFoundInArray) {
    console.log("PNG's are really unsafe!!!");
}

How can I determine if a .NET assembly was built for x86 or x64?

Below is a batch file that will run corflags.exe against all dlls and exes in the current working directory and all sub-directories, parse the results and display the target architecture of each.

Depending on the version of corflags.exe that is used, the line items in the output will either include 32BIT, or 32BITREQ (and 32BITPREF). Whichever of these two is included in the output is the critical line item that must be checked to differentiate between Any CPU and x86. If you are using an older version of corflags.exe (pre Windows SDK v8.0A), then only the 32BIT line item will be present in the output, as others have indicated in past answers. Otherwise 32BITREQ and 32BITPREF replace it.

This assumes corflags.exe is in the %PATH%. The simplest way to ensure this is to use a Developer Command Prompt. Alternatively you could copy it from it's default location.

If the batch file below is run against an unmanaged dll or exe, it will incorrectly display it as x86, since the actual output from Corflags.exe will be an error message similar to:

corflags : error CF008 : The specified file does not have a valid managed header

How to delete last character in a string in C#?

paramstr.Remove((paramstr.Length-1),1);

This does work to remove a single character from the end of a string. But if I use it to remove, say, 4 characters, this doesn't work:

paramstr.Remove((paramstr.Length-4),1);

As an alternative, I have used this approach instead:

DateFrom = DateFrom.Substring(0, DateFrom.Length-4);

What's the better (cleaner) way to ignore output in PowerShell?

I would consider using something like:

function GetList
{
  . {
     $a = new-object Collections.ArrayList
     $a.Add(5)
     $a.Add('next 5')
  } | Out-Null
  $a
}
$x = GetList

Output from $a.Add is not returned -- that holds for all $a.Add method calls. Otherwise you would need to prepend [void] before each the call.

In simple cases I would go with [void]$a.Add because it is quite clear that output will not be used and is discarded.

MSSQL Regular expression

Disclaimer: The original question was about MySQL. The SQL Server answer is below.

MySQL

In MySQL, the regex syntax is the following:

SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE (`url` NOT REGEXP '^[-A-Za-z0-9/.]+$') 

Use the REGEXP clause instead of LIKE. The latter is for pattern matching using % and _ wildcards.


SQL Server

Since you made a typo, and you're using SQL Server (not MySQL), you'll have to create a user-defined CLR function to expose regex functionality.

Take a look at this article for more details.

  • When Chrome is fullscreen/maximized the ratio is window.outerWidth/window.innerWidth, and when it is not, the ratio seems to be (window.outerWidth-16)/window.innerWidth, however the 1st case can be approached by the 2nd one.

So I came to the following ...

But this approach has limitations : for example if you play the accordion with the application window (rapidly enlarge and reduce the width of the window) then you will get gaps between zoom levels although the zoom has not changed (may be outerWidth and innerWidth are not exactly updated in the same time).

var snap = function (r, snaps)
{
    var i;
    for (i=0; i < 16; i++) { if ( r < snaps[i] ) return i; }
};
var w, l, r;
w = window.outerWidth, l = window.innerWidth;
return snap((w - 16) / l,
            [ 0.29, 0.42, 0.58, 0.71, 0.83, 0.95, 1.05, 1.18, 1.38, 1.63, 1.88, 2.25, 2.75, 3.5, 4.5, 100 ],
);

And if you want the factor :

var snap = function (r, snaps, ratios)
{
    var i;
    for (i=0; i < 16; i++) { if ( r < snaps[i] ) return eval(ratios[i]); }
};
var w, l, r;
w = window.outerWidth, l = window.innerWidth;
return snap((w - 16) / l,
            [ 0.29, 0.42, 0.58, 0.71, 0.83, 0.95, 1.05, 1.18, 1.38, 1.63, 1.88, 2.25, 2.75, 3.5, 4.5, 100 ],
            [ 0.25, '1/3', 0.5, '2/3', 0.75, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 ]
);

Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal

I don't know where the hang comes from, but redirecting (or piping) commands into an interactive ssh is in general a recipe for problems. It is more robust to use the command-to-run-as-a-last-argument style and pass the script on the ssh command line:

ssh user@server 'DEP_ROOT="/home/matthewr/releases"
datestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
REL_DIR=$DEP_ROOT"/"$datestamp
if [ ! -d "$DEP_ROOT" ]; then
    echo "creating the root directory"
    mkdir $DEP_ROOT
fi
mkdir $REL_DIR'

(All in one giant '-delimited multiline command-line argument).

The pseudo-terminal message is because of your -t which asks ssh to try to make the environment it runs on the remote machine look like an actual terminal to the programs that run there. Your ssh client is refusing to do that because its own standard input is not a terminal, so it has no way to pass the special terminal APIs onwards from the remote machine to your actual terminal at the local end.

What were you trying to achieve with -t anyway?

Determine the process pid listening on a certain port

netstat -nlp should tell you the PID of what's listening on which port.

Showing ValueError: shapes (1,3) and (1,3) not aligned: 3 (dim 1) != 1 (dim 0)

Unlike standard arithmetic, which desires matching dimensions, dot products require that the dimensions are one of:

  • (X..., A, B) dot (Y..., B, C) -> (X..., Y..., A, C), where ... means "0 or more different values
  • (B,) dot (B, C) -> (C,)
  • (A, B) dot (B,) -> (A,)
  • (B,) dot (B,) -> ()

Your problem is that you are using np.matrix, which is totally unnecessary in your code - the main purpose of np.matrix is to translate a * b into np.dot(a, b). As a general rule, np.matrix is probably not a good choice.

Prevent users from submitting a form by hitting Enter

This works for me

jQuery.each($("#your_form_id").find('input'), function(){
    $(this).bind('keypress keydown keyup', function(e){
       if(e.keyCode == 13) { e.preventDefault(); }
    });
});

Pandas: drop a level from a multi-level column index?

Another way to drop the index is to use a list comprehension:

df.columns = [col[1] for col in df.columns]

   b  c
0  1  2
1  3  4

This strategy is also useful if you want to combine the names from both levels like in the example below where the bottom level contains two 'y's:

cols = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([("A", "x"), ("A", "y"), ("B", "y")])
df = pd.DataFrame([[1,2, 8 ], [3,4, 9]], columns=cols)

   A     B
   x  y  y
0  1  2  8
1  3  4  9

Dropping the top level would leave two columns with the index 'y'. That can be avoided by joining the names with the list comprehension.

df.columns = ['_'.join(col) for col in df.columns]

    A_x A_y B_y
0   1   2   8
1   3   4   9

That's a problem I had after doing a groupby and it took a while to find this other question that solved it. I adapted that solution to the specific case here.

Open Cygwin at a specific folder

I made a .reg file that puts an "Open Cygwin Here" option in the right-click context menu. It depends on the Cygwin "chere" package, which you can install using apt-cyg if you didn't install it in the initial setup.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cygwin_bash]
@="Open Cygwin Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cygwin_bash\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe"

Radio Buttons ng-checked with ng-model

I solved my problem simply using ng-init for default selection instead of ng-checked

<input id="billing-no" type="radio" name="billing" ng-model="person.billing" ng-value="FALSE" />
<input id="billing-yes" type="radio" name="billing" ng-model="person.billing" ng-value="TRUE" />

MISCONF Redis is configured to save RDB snapshots

In case you are using docker/docker-compose and want to prevent redis from writing to file, you can create a redis config and mount into a container

docker.compose.override.yml

  redis:¬
      volumes:¬
        - ./redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf¬
      ports:¬
        - 6379:6379¬

You can download the default config from here

in the redis.conf file make sure you comment out these 3 lines

save 900 1
save 300 10
save 60 10000

App.Config Transformation for projects which are not Web Projects in Visual Studio?

This works now with the Visual Studio AddIn treated in this article: SlowCheetah - Web.config Transformation Syntax now generalized for any XML configuration file.

You can right-click on your web.config and click "Add Config Transforms." When you do this, you'll get a web.debug.config and a web.release.config. You can make a web.whatever.config if you like, as long as the name lines up with a configuration profile. These files are just the changes you want made, not a complete copy of your web.config.

You might think you'd want to use XSLT to transform a web.config, but while they feels intuitively right it's actually very verbose.

Here's two transforms, one using XSLT and the same one using the XML Document Transform syntax/namespace. As with all things there's multiple ways in XSLT to do this, but you get the general idea. XSLT is a generalized tree transformation language, while this deployment one is optimized for a specific subset of common scenarios. But, the cool part is that each XDT transform is a .NET plugin, so you can make your own.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>           
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/configuration/appSettings">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    <xsl:element name="add">
      <xsl:attribute name="key">NewSetting</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="value">New Setting Value</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Or the same thing via the deployment transform:

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
   <appSettings>
      <add name="NewSetting" value="New Setting Value" xdt:Transform="Insert"/>
   </appSettings>
</configuration>

Are there any standard exit status codes in Linux?

'1' >>> Catchall for general errors

'2' >>> Misuse of shell builtins (according to Bash documentation)

'126'>>> Command invoked cannot execute

'127'>>>"command not found"

'128'>>> Invalid argument to exit

'128+n'>>>Fatal error signal "n"

'130'>>> Script terminated by Control-C

'255'>>>Exit status out of range

This is for bash. However, for other applications, there are different exit codes.

How do I remove the top margin in a web page?

JIRA JQL searching by date - is there a way of getting Today() (Date) instead of Now() (DateTime)

In case you want to search for all the issues updated after 9am previous day until today at 9AM, please try: updated >= startOfDay(-15h) and updated <= startOfDay(9h). (explanation: 9AM - 24h/day = -15h)

You can also use updated >= startOfDay(-900m) . where 900m = 15h*60m

Git Cherry-Pick and Conflicts

Also, to complete what @claudio said, when cherry-picking you can also use a merging strategy.

So you could something like this git cherry-pick --strategy=recursive -X theirs commit or git cherry-pick --strategy=recursive -X ours commit

How to run only one unit test class using Gradle

To run a single test class Airborn's answer is good.

With using some command line options, which found here, you can simply do something like this.

gradle test --tests org.gradle.SomeTest.someSpecificFeature
gradle test --tests *SomeTest.someSpecificFeature
gradle test --tests *SomeSpecificTest
gradle test --tests all.in.specific.package*
gradle test --tests *IntegTest
gradle test --tests *IntegTest*ui*
gradle test --tests *IntegTest.singleMethod
gradle someTestTask --tests *UiTest someOtherTestTask --tests *WebTest*ui

From version 1.10 of gradle it supports selecting tests, using a test filter. For example,

apply plugin: 'java'

test {
  filter {
    //specific test method
      includeTestsMatching "org.gradle.SomeTest.someSpecificFeature"

     //specific test method, use wildcard for packages
     includeTestsMatching "*SomeTest.someSpecificFeature"

     //specific test class
     includeTestsMatching "org.gradle.SomeTest"

     //specific test class, wildcard for packages
     includeTestsMatching "*.SomeTest"

     //all classes in package, recursively
     includeTestsMatching "com.gradle.tooling.*"

     //all integration tests, by naming convention
      includeTestsMatching "*IntegTest"

     //only ui tests from integration tests, by some naming convention
     includeTestsMatching "*IntegTest*ui"
   }
}

For multi-flavor environments (a common use-case for Android), check this answer, as the --tests argument will be unsupported and you'll get an error.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ggplot2 and for data.table

I tried all the listed solutions above but nothing worked. This is what worked for me.

  1. Look at the complete error message which you get when you use library(ggplot2).
  2. It lists a couple of packages which are missing or have errors.
  3. Uninstall and reinstall them.
  4. ggplot should work now with a warning for version.

Simple check for SELECT query empty result

To summarize the below posts a bit:

If all you care about is if at least one matching row is in the DB then use exists as it is the most efficient way of checking this: it will return true as soon as it finds at least one matching row whereas count, etc will find all matching rows.

If you actually need to use the data for processing or if the query has side effects, or if you need to know the actual total number of rows then checking the ROWCOUNT or count is probably the best way on hand.

Unit testing with mockito for constructors

Include this line on top of your test class

Are lists thread-safe?

To clarify a point in Thomas' excellent answer, it should be mentioned that append() is thread safe.

This is because there is no concern that data being read will be in the same place once we go to write to it. The append() operation does not read data, it only writes data to the list.

        var regex = new RegExp("(^|\\s)" + className+ "(\\s|$)");
        for ( var i = 0; i < tmp.length; i++ ) {

            if ( regex.test(tmp[i].className) ) {
                elArray.push(tmp[i]);
            }
        }

        elements = elArray;
    }

    for(var i = 0, i < elements.length; i++) {
       if( elements[i].textContent == ''){
          elements[i].style.display = 'none';
       } 
    }

console.log timestamps in Chrome?

In Chrome, there is the option is Console Settings (Developer Tools -> Console -> Settings [upper-right corner] ) named "Show timestamps" which is exactly what I needed.

I've just found it. No other dirty hacks needed that destroys placeholders and erases place in the code where the messages was logged from.

Update for Chrome 68+

The "Show timestamps" setting has been moved to the Preferences pane of the "DevTools settings", found in the upper-right corner of the DevTools drawer:

Pass by Reference / Value in C++

I think much confusion is generated by not communicating what is meant by passed by reference. When some people say pass by reference they usually mean not the argument itself, but rather the object being referenced. Some other say that pass by reference means that the object can't be changed in the callee. Example:

struct Object {
    int i;
};

void sample(Object* o) { // 1
    o->i++;
}

void sample(Object const& o) { // 2
    // nothing useful here :)
}

void sample(Object & o) { // 3
    o.i++;
}

void sample1(Object o) { // 4
    o.i++;
}

int main() {
    Object obj = { 10 };
    Object const obj_c = { 10 };

    sample(&obj); // calls 1
    sample(obj) // calls 3
    sample(obj_c); // calls 2
    sample1(obj); // calls 4
}

Some people would claim that 1 and 3 are pass by reference, while 2 would be pass by value. Another group of people say all but the last is pass by reference, because the object itself is not copied.

I would like to draw a definition of that here what i claim to be pass by reference. A general overview over it can be found here: Difference between pass by reference and pass by value. The first and last are pass by value, and the middle two are pass by reference:

    sample(&obj);
       // yields a `Object*`. Passes a *pointer* to the object by value. 
       // The caller can change the pointer (the parameter), but that 
       // won't change the temporary pointer created on the call side (the argument). 

    sample(obj)
       // passes the object by *reference*. It denotes the object itself. The callee
       // has got a reference parameter.

    sample(obj_c);
       // also passes *by reference*. the reference parameter references the
       // same object like the argument expression. 

    sample1(obj);
       // pass by value. The parameter object denotes a different object than the 
       // one passed in.

I vote for the following definition:

An argument (1.3.1) is passed by reference if and only if the corresponding parameter of the function that's called has reference type and the reference parameter binds directly to the argument expression (8.5.3/4). In all other cases, we have to do with pass by value.

That means that the following is pass by value:

void f1(Object const& o);
f1(Object()); // 1

void f2(int const& i);
f2(42); // 2

void f3(Object o);
f3(Object());     // 3
Object o1; f3(o1); // 4

void f4(Object *o);
Object o1; f4(&o1); // 5

1 is pass by value, because it's not directly bound. The implementation may copy the temporary and then bind that temporary to the reference. 2 is pass by value, because the implementation initializes a temporary of the literal and then binds to the reference. 3 is pass by value, because the parameter has not reference type. 4 is pass by value for the same reason. 5 is pass by value because the parameter has not got reference type. The following cases are pass by reference (by the rules of 8.5.3/4 and others):

void f1(Object *& op);
Object a; Object *op1 = &a; f1(op1); // 1

void f2(Object const& op);
Object b; f2(b); // 2

struct A { };
struct B { operator A&() { static A a; return a; } };
void f3(A &);
B b; f3(b); // passes the static a by reference

NUnit vs. MbUnit vs. MSTest vs. xUnit.net

I wouldn't go with MSTest. Although it's probably the most future proof of the frameworks with Microsoft behind it's not the most flexible solution. It won't run stand alone without some hacks. So running it on a build server other than TFS without installing Visual Studio is hard. The visual studio test-runner is actually slower than Testdriven.Net + any of the other frameworks. And because the releases of this framework are tied to releases of Visual Studio there are less updates and if you have to work with an older VS you're tied to an older MSTest.

I don't think it matters a lot which of the other frameworks you use. It's really easy to switch from one to another.

I personally use XUnit.Net or NUnit depending on the preference of my coworkers. NUnit is the most standard. XUnit.Net is the leanest framework.

Normalize columns of pandas data frame

You can do this in one line

DF_test = DF_test.sub(DF_test.mean(axis=0), axis=1)/DF_test.mean(axis=0)

it takes mean for each of the column and then subtracts it(mean) from every row(mean of particular column subtracts from its row only) and divide by mean only. Finally, we what we get is the normalized data set.

Maven: mvn command not found

If you are on windows, what i suppose you need to do set the PATH like this:

SET PATH=%M2%

furthermore i assume you need to set your path to something like C:...\apache-maven-3.0.3\ cause this is the default folder for the windows archive. On the other i assume you need to add the path of maven to your and not set it to only maven so you setting should look like this:

SET PATH=%PATH%;%M2%

Understanding Chrome network log "Stalled" state

Calculating distance between two points, using latitude longitude?

Here is a page with javascript examples for various spherical calculations. The very first one on the page should give you what you need.

http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

Here is the Javascript code

var R = 6371; // km
var dLat = (lat2-lat1).toRad();
var dLon = (lon2-lon1).toRad(); 
var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) + 
        Math.cos(lat1.toRad()) * Math.cos(lat2.toRad()) *
        Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2); 
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a)); 
var d = R * c;

Where 'd' will hold the distance.

How to use ConfigurationManager

Okay, it took me a while to see this, but there's no way this compiles:

return String.(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[paramName]);

You're not even calling a method on the String type. Just do this:

return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[paramName];

The AppSettings KeyValuePair already returns a string. If the name doesn't exist, it will return null.


Based on your edit you have not yet added a Reference to the System.Configuration assembly for the project you're working in.

Using GCC to produce readable assembly?

Quicker way to get all unique values of a column in VBA?

Use Excel's AdvancedFilter function to do this.

Using Excels inbuilt C++ is the fastest way with smaller datasets, using the dictionary is faster for larger datasets. For example:

Copy values in Column A and insert the unique values in column B:

Range("A1:A6").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range("B1"), Unique:=True

It works with multiple columns too:

Range("A1:B4").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range("D1:E1"), Unique:=True

Be careful with multiple columns as it doesn't always work as expected. In those cases I resort to removing duplicates which works by choosing a selection of columns to base uniqueness. Ref: MSDN - Find and remove duplicates

enter image description here

Here I remove duplicate columns based on the third column:

Range("A1:C4").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=3, Header:=xlNo

Here I remove duplicate columns based on the second and third column:

Range("A1:C4").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(2, 3), Header:=xlNo

How to find topmost view controller on iOS

I think you need a combination of the accepted answer and @fishstix's

+ (UIViewController*) topMostController
{
    UIViewController *topController = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;

    while (topController.presentedViewController) {
        topController = topController.presentedViewController;
    }

    return topController;
}

Swift 3.0+

func topMostController() -> UIViewController? {
    guard let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow, let rootViewController = window.rootViewController else {
        return nil
    }

    var topController = rootViewController

    while let newTopController = topController.presentedViewController {
        topController = newTopController
    }

    return topController
}

How to set host_key_checking=false in ansible inventory file?

Yes, you can set this on the inventory/host level.

With an already accepted answer present, I think this is a better answer to the question on how to handle this on the inventory level. I consider this more secure by isolating this insecure setting to the hosts required for this (e.g. test systems, local development machines).

What you can do at the inventory level is add

ansible_ssh_common_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

or

ansible_ssh_extra_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

to your host definition (see Ansible Behavioral Inventory Parameters).

This will work provided you use the ssh connection type, not paramiko or something else).

For example, a Vagrant host definition would look like…

vagrant ansible_port=2222 ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_common_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

or

vagrant ansible_port=2222 ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_extra_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

Running Ansible will then be successful without changing any environment variable.

$ ansible vagrant -i <path/to/hosts/file> -m ping
vagrant | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}

In case you want to do this for a group of hosts, here's a suggestion to make it a supplemental group var for an existing group like this:

[mytestsystems]
test[01:99].example.tld

[insecuressh:children]
mytestsystems

[insecuressh:vars]
ansible_ssh_common_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

MyISAM versus InnoDB

bottomline: if you are working offline with selects on large chunks of data, MyISAM will probably give you better (much better) speeds.

there are some situations when MyISAM is infinitely more efficient than InnoDB: when manipulating large data dumps offline (because of table lock).

example: I was converting a csv file (15M records) from NOAA which uses VARCHAR fields as keys. InnoDB was taking forever, even with large chunks of memory available.

this an example of the csv (first and third fields are keys).

USC00178998,20130101,TMAX,-22,,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,TMIN,-117,,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,TOBS,-28,,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,PRCP,0,T,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,SNOW,0,T,,7,

since what i need to do is run a batch offline update of observed weather phenomena, i use MyISAM table for receiving data and run JOINS on the keys so that i can clean the incoming file and replace VARCHAR fields with INT keys (which are related to external tables where the original VARCHAR values are stored).

How do you remove a specific revision in the git history?

If all you want to do is remove the changes made in revision 3, you might want to use git revert.

Git revert simply creates a new revision with changes that undo all of the changes in the revision you are reverting.

What this means, is that you retain information about both the unwanted commit, and the commit that removes those changes.

This is probably a lot more friendly if it's at all possible the someone has pulled from your repository in the mean time, since the revert is basically just a standard commit.

Firefox Add-on RESTclient - How to input POST parameters?

I tried the methods mentioned in some other answers, but they look like workarounds to me. Using Firefox Add-on RESTclient to send HTTP POST requests with parameters is not straightforward in my opinion, at least for the version I'm currently using, 2.0.1.

Instead, try using other free open source tools, such as Apache JMeter. It is simple and straightforward (see the screenshot as below)

Convert character to ASCII numeric value in java

If you wanted to convert the entire string into concatenated ASCII values then you can use this -

    String str = "abc";  // or anything else

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (char c : str.toCharArray())
    sb.append((int)c);

    BigInteger mInt = new BigInteger(sb.toString());
    System.out.println(mInt);

wherein you will get 979899 as output.

Credit to this.

Hibernate SessionFactory vs. JPA EntityManagerFactory

I prefer the JPA2 EntityManager API over SessionFactory, because it feels more modern. One simple example:

JPA:

@PersistenceContext
EntityManager entityManager;

public List<MyEntity> findSomeApples() {
  return entityManager
     .createQuery("from MyEntity where apples=7", MyEntity.class)
     .getResultList();
}

SessionFactory:

@Autowired
SessionFactory sessionFactory;

public List<MyEntity> findSomeApples() {
  Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
  List<?> result = session.createQuery("from MyEntity where apples=7")
      .list();
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  List<MyEntity> resultCasted = (List<MyEntity>) result;
  return resultCasted;
}

I think it's clear that the first one looks cleaner and is also easier to test because EntityManager can be easily mocked.

define() vs. const

NikiC's answer is the best, but let me add a non-obvious caveat when using namespaces so you don't get caught with unexpected behavior. The thing to remember is that defines are always in the global namespace unless you explicitly add the namespace as part of the define identifier. What isn't obvious about that is that the namespaced identifier trumps the global identifier. So :

<?php
namespace foo
{
  // Note: when referenced in this file or namespace, the const masks the defined version
  // this may not be what you want/expect
  const BAR = 'cheers';
  define('BAR', 'wonka');

  printf("What kind of bar is a %s bar?\n", BAR);

  // To get to the define in the global namespace you need to explicitely reference it
  printf("What kind of bar is a %s bar?\n", \BAR);
}

namespace foo2
{
  // But now in another namespace (like in the default) the same syntax calls up the 
  // the defined version!
  printf("Willy %s\n", BAR);
  printf("three %s\n", \foo\BAR);  
}
?>

produces:

What kind of bar is a cheers bar? 
What kind of bar is a wonka bar?
willy wonka 
three cheers

Which to me makes the whole const notion needlessly confusing since the idea of a const in dozens of other languages is that it is always the same wherever you are in your code, and PHP doesn't really guarantee that.

Getting value from appsettings.json in .net core

Just create An AnyName.cs file and paste following code.

using System;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;

namespace Custom
{
    static class ConfigurationManager
    {
        public static IConfiguration AppSetting { get; }
        static ConfigurationManager()
        {
            AppSetting = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                    .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
                    .AddJsonFile("YouAppSettingFile.json")
                    .Build();
        }
    }
}

Must replace YouAppSettingFile.json file name with your file name.
Your .json file should look like below.

{
    "GrandParent_Key" : {
        "Parent_Key" : {
            "Child_Key" : "value1"
        }
    },
    "Parent_Key" : {
        "Child_Key" : "value2"
    },
    "Child_Key" : "value3"
}

Now you can use it.
Don't forget to Add Reference in your class where you want to use.

using Custom;

Code to retrieve value.

string value1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSetting["GrandParent_Key:Parent_Key:Child_Key"];
string value2 = ConfigurationManager.AppSetting["Parent_Key:Child_Key"];
string value3 = ConfigurationManager.AppSetting["Child_Key"];

How do I empty an array in JavaScript?

Use a modified version of Jan's initial suggestion:

for (var i = originalLength; i > 0; i--) {
     A.pop();

Terser:

for (let i = A.length; i > 0;A.pop(),i--) {}

Or here's another take:

while(!A[Symbol.iterator]().next().done)A.shift()

"Invalid signature file" when attempting to run a .jar

Security is already a tough topic, but I'm disappointed to see the most popular solution is to delete the security signatures. JCE requires these signatures. Maven shade explodes the BouncyCastle jar file which puts the signatures into META-INF, but the BouncyCastle signatures aren't valid for a new, uber-jar (only for the BC jar), and that's what causes the Invalid signature error in this thread.

Yes, excluding or deleting the signatures as suggested by @ruhsuzbaykus does indeed make the original error go away, but it can also lead to new, cryptic errors:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: PBEWithSHA256And256BitAES-CBC-BC SecretKeyFactory not available

By explicitly specifying where to find the algorithm like this:

SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithSHA256And256BitAES-CBC-BC","BC");

I was able to get a different error:

java.security.NoSuchProviderException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC

JCE can't authenticate the provider because we've deleted the cryptographic signatures by following the suggestion elsewhere in this same thread.

The solution I found was the executable packer plugin that uses a jar-in-jar approach to preserve the BouncyCastle signature in a single, executable jar.

UPDATE:

Another way to do this (the correct way?) is to use Maven Jar signer. This allows you to keep using Maven shade without getting security errors. HOWEVER, you must have a code signing certificate (Oracle suggests searching for "Java Code Signing Certificate"). The POM config looks like this:

No, there's no way to get JCE to recognize a self-signed cert, so if you need to preserve the BouncyCastle certs, you have to either use the jar-in-jar plugin or get a JCE cert.

Calculating difference between two timestamps in Oracle in milliseconds

I know that many people finding this solution simple and clear:

create table diff_timestamp (

insert into diff_timestamp values(systimestamp-1, systimestamp+2);
commit;

select cast(f2 as date) - cast(f1 as date) from diff_timestamp;

bingo!

How to send an email from JavaScript

You can't send an email directly with javascript.

You can, however, open the user's mail client:

window.open('mailto:[email protected]');

There are also some parameters to pre-fill the subject and the body:

window.open('mailto:[email protected]?subject=subject&body=body');

Another solution would be to do an ajax call to your server, so that the server sends the email. Be careful not to allow anyone to send any email through your server.

How to compare Boolean?

From your comments, it seems like you're looking for "best practices" for the use of the Boolean wrapper class. But there really aren't any best practices, because it's a bad idea to use this class to begin with. The only reason to use the object wrapper is in cases where you absolutely must (such as when using Generics, i.e., storing a boolean in a HashMap<String, Boolean> or the like). Using the object wrapper has no upsides and a lot of downsides, most notably that it opens you up to NullPointerExceptions.

Does it matter if '!' is used instead of .equals() for Boolean?

Both techniques will be susceptible to a NullPointerException, so it doesn't matter in that regard. In the first scenario, the Boolean will be unboxed into its respective boolean value and compared as normal. In the second scenario, you are invoking a method from the Boolean class, which is the following:

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    if (obj instanceof Boolean) {
        return value == ((Boolean)obj).booleanValue();
    }
    return false;
}

Either way, the results are the same.

Would it matter if .equals(false) was used to check for the value of the Boolean checker?

Per above, no.

Secondary question: Should Boolean be dealt differently than boolean?

If you absolutely must use the Boolean class, always check for null before performing any comparisons. e.g.,

Map<String, Boolean> map = new HashMap<String, Boolean>();
//...stuff to populate the Map
Boolean value = map.get("someKey");
if(value != null && value) {
    //do stuff
}

This will work because Java short-circuits conditional evaluations. You can also use the ternary operator.

boolean easyToUseValue = value != null ? value : false;

But seriously... just use the primitive type, unless you're forced not to.

What is the height of Navigation Bar in iOS 7?

There is a difference between the navigation bar and the status bar. The confusing part is that it looks like one solid feature at the top of the screen, but the areas can actually be separated into two distinct views; a status bar and a navigation bar. The status bar spans from y=0 to y=20 points and the navigation bar spans from y=20 to y=64 points. So the navigation bar (which is where the page title and navigation buttons go) has a height of 44 points, but the status bar and navigation bar together have a total height of 64 points.

Here is a great resource that addresses this question along with a number of other sizing idiosyncrasies in iOS7: http://ivomynttinen.com/blog/the-ios-7-design-cheat-sheet/

Find the index of a dict within a list, by matching the dict's value

Seems most logical to use a filter/index combo:

names=[{}, {'name': 'Tom'},{'name': 'Tony'}]
names.index(filter(lambda n: n.get('name') == 'Tom', names)[0])
1

And if you think there could be multiple matches:

[names.index(n) for item in filter(lambda n: n.get('name') == 'Tom', names)]
[1]

How do I get the Back Button to work with an AngularJS ui-router state machine?

Can be solved using a simple directive "go-back-history", this one is also closing window in case of no previous history.

Directive usage

<a data-go-back-history>Previous State</a>

Angular directive declaration

.directive('goBackHistory', ['$window', function ($window) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, elm, attrs) {
            elm.on('click', function ($event) {
                $event.stopPropagation();
                if ($window.history.length) {
                    $window.history.back();
                } else {
                    $window.close();  
                }
            });
        }
    };
}])

Note: Working using ui-router or not.

How to change the icon of .bat file programmatically?

I'll assume you are talking about Windows, right? I don't believe you can change the icon of a batch file directly. Icons are embedded in .EXE and .DLL files, or pointed to by .LNK files.

You could try to change the file association, but that approach may vary based on the version of Windows you are using. This is down with the registry in XP, but I'm not sure about Vista.

Spring @Transactional read-only propagation

By default transaction propagation is REQUIRED, meaning that the same transaction will propagate from a transactional caller to transactional callee. In this case also the read-only status will propagate. E.g. if a read-only transaction will call a read-write transaction, the whole transaction will be read-only.

Could you use the Open Session in View pattern to allow lazy loading? That way your handle method does not need to be transactional at all.

Java: Get month Integer from Date

java.time (Java 8)

You can also use the java.time package in Java 8 and convert your java.util.Date object to a java.time.LocalDate object and then just use the getMonthValue() method.

Date date = new Date();
LocalDate localDate = date.toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate();
int month = localDate.getMonthValue();

Note that month values are here given from 1 to 12 contrary to cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) in adarshr's answer which gives values from 0 to 11.

But as Basil Bourque said in the comments, the preferred way is to get a Month enum object with the LocalDate::getMonth method.

How to automatically convert strongly typed enum into int?

Strongly typed enums aiming to solve multiple problems and not only scoping problem as you mentioned in your question:

  1. Provide type safety, thus eliminating implicit conversion to integer by integral promotion.
  2. Specify underlying types.
  3. Provide strong scoping.

Thus, it is impossible to implicitly convert a strongly typed enum to integers, or even its underlying type - that's the idea. So you have to use static_cast to make conversion explicit.

If your only problem is scoping and you really want to have implicit promotion to integers, then you better off using not strongly typed enum with the scope of the structure it is declared in.

Split string into string array of single characters

Convert the message to a character array, then use a for loop to change it to a string

string message = "This Is A Test";
string[] result = new string[message.Length];
char[] temp = new char[message.Length];

temp = message.ToCharArray();

for (int i = 0; i < message.Length - 1; i++)
{
     result[i] = Convert.ToString(temp[i]);
}

How to increase apache timeout directive in .htaccess?

if you have long processing server side code, I don't think it does fall into 404 as you said ("it goes to a webpage is not found error page")

Browser should report request timeout error.

You may do 2 things:

Based on CGI/Server side engine increase timeout there

PHP : http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time - default is 30 seconds

In php.ini:

max_execution_time 60

Increase apache timeout - default is 300 (in version 2.4 it is 60).

In your httpd.conf (in server config or vhost config)

TimeOut 600

Note that first setting allows your PHP script to run longer, it will not interferre with network timeout.

Second setting modify maximum amount of time the server will wait for certain events before failing a request

Sorry, I'm not sure if you are using PHP as server side processing, but if you provide more info I will be more accurate.

Generating Random Number In Each Row In Oracle Query

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

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

How to measure the a time-span in seconds using System.currentTimeMillis()?

// Convert millis to seconds. This can be simplified a bit,
// but I left it in this form for clarity.
long m = System.currentTimeMillis(); // that's our input
int s = Math.max(
  .18 * (Math.toRadians(m)/Math.PI),
  Math.pow( Math.E, Math.log(m)-Math.log(1000) )
);
System.out.println( "seconds: "+s );

How to suppress warnings globally in an R Script

I have replaced the printf calls with calls to warning in the C-code now. It will be effective in the version 2.17.2 which should be available tomorrow night. Then you should be able to avoid the warnings with suppressWarnings() or any of the other above mentioned methods.

suppressWarnings({ your code })

Why does ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] return the string "10"?

++[[]][+[]] => 1 // [+[]] = [0], ++0 = 1
[+[]] => [0]

Then we have a string concatenation

1+[0].toString() = 10

How can I sort a List alphabetically?

Better late than never! Here is how we can do it(for learning purpose only)-

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

class SoftDrink {
    String name;
    String color;
    int volume; 

    SoftDrink (String name, String color, int volume) {
        this.name = name;
        this.color = color;
        this.volume = volume;
    }
}

public class ListItemComparision {
    public static void main (String...arg) {
        List<SoftDrink> softDrinkList = new ArrayList<SoftDrink>() ;
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Faygo", "ColorOne", 4));
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Fanta",  "ColorTwo", 3));
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Frooti", "ColorThree", 2));       
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Freshie", "ColorFour", 1));

        Collections.sort(softDrinkList, new Comparator() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Object softDrinkOne, Object softDrinkTwo) {
                //use instanceof to verify the references are indeed of the type in question
                return ((SoftDrink)softDrinkOne).name
                        .compareTo(((SoftDrink)softDrinkTwo).name);
            }
        }); 
        for (SoftDrink sd : softDrinkList) {
            System.out.println(sd.name + " - " + sd.color + " - " + sd.volume);
        }
        Collections.sort(softDrinkList, new Comparator() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Object softDrinkOne, Object softDrinkTwo) {
                //comparision for primitive int uses compareTo of the wrapper Integer
                return(new Integer(((SoftDrink)softDrinkOne).volume))
                        .compareTo(((SoftDrink)softDrinkTwo).volume);
            }
        });

        for (SoftDrink sd : softDrinkList) {
            System.out.println(sd.volume + " - " + sd.color + " - " + sd.name);
        }   
    }
}

How to get the top 10 values in postgresql?

Seems you are looking for ORDER BY in DESCending order with LIMIT clause:

SELECT
 *
FROM
  scores
ORDER BY score DESC
LIMIT 10

Of course SELECT * could seriously affect performance, so use it with caution.

MySQL set current date in a DATETIME field on insert

Your best bet is to change that column to a timestamp. MySQL will automatically use the first timestamp in a row as a 'last modified' value and update it for you. This is configurable if you just want to save creation time.

See doc http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/timestamp-initialization.html

Format an Excel column (or cell) as Text in C#?

I know this question is aged, still, I would like to contribute.

Applying Range.NumberFormat = "@" just partially solve the problem:

  • Yes, if you place the focus on a cell of the range, you will read text in the format menu
  • Yes, it align the data to the left
  • But if you use the type formula to check the type of the value in the cell, it will return 1 meaning number

Applying the apostroph behave better. It sets the format to text, it align data to left and if you check the format of the value in the cell using the type formula, it will return 2 meaning text

Jquery Smooth Scroll To DIV - Using ID value from Link

Here is my solution:

<!-- jquery smooth scroll to id's -->   
<script>
$(function() {
  $('a[href*=\\#]:not([href=\\#])').click(function() {
    if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
      var target = $(this.hash);
      target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
      if (target.length) {
        $('html,body').animate({
          scrollTop: target.offset().top
        }, 500);
        return false;
      }
    }
  });
});
</script>

With just this snippet you can use an unlimited number of hash-links and corresponding ids without having to execute a new script for each.

I already explained how it works in another thread here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28631803/4566435 (or here's a direct link to my blog post)

For clarifications, let me know. Hope it helps!

Convert JSON string to dict using Python

If you trust the data source, you can use eval to convert your string into a dictionary:

eval(your_json_format_string)

Example:

>>> x = "{'a' : 1, 'b' : True, 'c' : 'C'}"
>>> y = eval(x)

>>> print x
{'a' : 1, 'b' : True, 'c' : 'C'}
>>> print y
{'a': 1, 'c': 'C', 'b': True}

>>> print type(x), type(y)
<type 'str'> <type 'dict'>

>>> print y['a'], type(y['a'])
1 <type 'int'>

>>> print y['a'], type(y['b'])
1 <type 'bool'>

>>> print y['a'], type(y['c'])
1 <type 'str'>

Click events on Pie Charts in Chart.js

  var ctx = document.getElementById('pie-chart').getContext('2d');
 var myPieChart = new Chart(ctx, {
                // The type of chart we want to create
                type: 'pie',

            });

             //define click event
  $("#pie-chart").click(
            function (evt) {
                var activePoints = myPieChart.getElementsAtEvent(evt);
                var labeltag = activePoints[0]._view.label;

                      });

Why does Git tell me "No such remote 'origin'" when I try to push to origin?

Two problems:

1 - You never told Git to start tracking any file

You write that you ran

git init
git commit -m "first commit"

and that, at that stage, you got

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track).

Git is telling you that you never told it to start tracking any files in the first place, and it has nothing to take a snapshot of. Therefore, Git creates no commit. Before attempting to commit, you should tell Git (for instance):

Hey Git, you see that README.md file idly sitting in my working directory, there? Could you put it under version control for me? I'd like it to go in my first commit/snapshot/revision...

For that you need to stage the files of interest, using

git add README.md

before running

git commit -m "some descriptive message"

2 - You haven't set up the remote repository

You then ran

git remote add origin https://github.com/VijayNew/NewExample.git

After that, your local repository should be able to communicate with the remote repository that resides at the specified URL (https://github.com/VijayNew/NewExample.git)... provided that remote repo actually exists! However, it seems that you never created that remote repo on GitHub in the first place: at the time of writing this answer, if I try to visit the correponding URL, I get

enter image description here

Before attempting to push to that remote repository, you need to make sure that the latter actually exists. So go to GitHub and create the remote repo in question. Then and only then will you be able to successfully push with

git push -u origin master

PostgreSQL: insert from another table

Just supply literal values in the SELECT:

INSERT INTO TABLE1 (id, col_1, col_2, col_3)
SELECT id, 'data1', 'data2', 'data3'
FROM TABLE2
WHERE col_a = 'something';

A select list can contain any value expression:

But the expressions in the select list do not have to reference any columns in the table expression of the FROM clause; they can be constant arithmetic expressions, for instance.

And a string literal is certainly a value expression.

What determines the monitor my app runs on?

Right click the shortcut and select properties. Make sure you are on the "Shortcut" Tab. Select the RUN drop down box and change it to Maximized.

This may assist in launching the program in full screen on the primary monitor.

How do I install g++ on MacOS X?

That's the compiler that comes with Apple's XCode tools package. They've hacked on it a little, but basically it's just g++.

You can download XCode for free (well, mostly, you do have to sign up to become an ADC member, but that's free too) here: http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html

Edit 2013-01-25: This answer was correct in 2010. It needs an update.

While XCode tools still has a command-line C++ compiler, In recent versions of OS X (I think 10.7 and later) have switched to clang/llvm (mostly because Apple wants all the benefits of Open Source without having to contribute back and clang is BSD licensed). Secondly, I think all you have to do to install XCode is to download it from the App store. I'm pretty sure it's free there.

So, in order to get g++ you'll have to use something like homebrew (seemingly the current way to install Open Source software on the Mac (though homebrew has a lot of caveats surrounding installing gcc using it)), fink (basically Debian's apt system for OS X/Darwin), or MacPorts (Basically, OpenBSDs ports system for OS X/Darwin) to get it.

Fink definitely has the right packages. On 2016-12-26, it had gcc 5 and gcc 6 packages.

I'm less familiar with how MacPorts works, though some initial cursory investigation indicates they have the relevant packages as well.

git ignore vim temporary files

I would also recommend to think to ignore files like:

.*.swp
.*.swo

as you may have files that end with .swp

How to change the style of a DatePicker in android?

Create custom DatePickerDialog style:

<style name="AppTheme.DatePickerDialog" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Dialog">
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:colorControlActivated">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="android:buttonBarPositiveButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Alert.Button.Positive</item>
    <item name="android:buttonBarNegativeButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Alert.Button.Negative</item>
    <item name="android:buttonBarNeutralButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Alert.Button.Neutral</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.Alert.Button.Positive" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/buttonPositive</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.Alert.Button.Negative" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/buttonNegative</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.Alert.Button.Neutral" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/buttonNeutral</item>
</style>

Set custom datePickerDialogTheme style in app theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme">@style/AppTheme.DatePickerDialog</item>
</style>

Set theme programmatically on initialization like this:

val datetime = DatePickerDialog(this, R.style.AppTheme_DatePickerDialog)

Disable a Button

If you want the button to stay static without the "pressed" appearance:

// Swift 2
editButton.userInteractionEnabled = false 

// Swift 3
editButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = false 

Remember:

1) Your IBOutlet is --> @IBOutlet weak var editButton: UIButton!

2) Code above goes in viewWillAppear

Templated check for the existence of a class member function?

Now this was a nice little puzzle - great question!

Here's an alternative to Nicola Bonelli's solution that does not rely on the non-standard typeof operator.

Unfortunately, it does not work on GCC (MinGW) 3.4.5 or Digital Mars 8.42n, but it does work on all versions of MSVC (including VC6) and on Comeau C++.

The longer comment block has the details on how it works (or is supposed to work). As it says, I'm not sure which behavior is standards compliant - I'd welcome commentary on that.


update - 7 Nov 2008:

It looks like while this code is syntactically correct, the behavior that MSVC and Comeau C++ show does not follow the standard (thanks to Leon Timmermans and litb for pointing me in the right direction). The C++03 standard says the following:

14.6.2 Dependent names [temp.dep]

Paragraph 3

In the definition of a class template or a member of a class template, if a base class of the class template depends on a template-parameter, the base class scope is not examined during unqualified name lookup either at the point of definition of the class template or member or during an instantiation of the class template or member.

So, it looks like that when MSVC or Comeau consider the toString() member function of T performing name lookup at the call site in doToString() when the template is instantiated, that is incorrect (even though it's actually the behavior I was looking for in this case).

The behavior of GCC and Digital Mars looks to be correct - in both cases the non-member toString() function is bound to the call.

Rats - I thought I might have found a clever solution, instead I uncovered a couple compiler bugs...


#include <iostream>
#include <string>

struct Hello
{
    std::string toString() {
        return "Hello";
    }
};

struct Generic {};


// the following namespace keeps the toString() method out of
//  most everything - except the other stuff in this
//  compilation unit

namespace {
    std::string toString()
    {
        return "toString not defined";
    }

    template <typename T>
    class optionalToStringImpl : public T
    {
    public:
        std::string doToString() {

            // in theory, the name lookup for this call to 
            //  toString() should find the toString() in 
            //  the base class T if one exists, but if one 
            //  doesn't exist in the base class, it'll 
            //  find the free toString() function in 
            //  the private namespace.
            //
            // This theory works for MSVC (all versions
            //  from VC6 to VC9) and Comeau C++, but
            //  does not work with MinGW 3.4.5 or 
            //  Digital Mars 8.42n
            //
            // I'm honestly not sure what the standard says 
            //  is the correct behavior here - it's sort 
            //  of like ADL (Argument Dependent Lookup - 
            //  also known as Koenig Lookup) but without
            //  arguments (except the implied "this" pointer)

            return toString();
        }
    };
}

template <typename T>
std::string optionalToString(T & obj)
{
    // ugly, hacky cast...
    optionalToStringImpl<T>* temp = reinterpret_cast<optionalToStringImpl<T>*>( &obj);

    return temp->doToString();
}



int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Hello helloObj;
    Generic genericObj;

    std::cout << optionalToString( helloObj) << std::endl;
    std::cout << optionalToString( genericObj) << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

How to redirect siteA to siteB with A or CNAME records

Try changing it to "subdomain -> subdomain.hosttwo.com"

The CNAME is an alias for a certain domain, so when you go to the control panel for hostone.com, you shouldn't have to enter the whole name into the CNAME alias.

As far as the error you are getting, can you log onto subdomain.hostwo.com and check the logs?

How to Pass Parameters to Activator.CreateInstance<T>()

public class AssemblyLoader<T>  where T:class
{
    public void(){
        var res = Load(@"C:\test\paquete.uno.dos.test.dll", "paquete.uno.dos.clasetest.dll") 
    }

    public T Load(string assemblyFile, string objectToInstantiate) 
    {
        var loaded = Activator.CreateInstanceFrom(assemblyFile, objectToInstantiate).Unwrap();

        return loaded as T;
    }
}

ConnectionTimeout versus SocketTimeout

A connection timeout is the maximum amount of time that the program is willing to wait to setup a connection to another process. You aren't getting or posting any application data at this point, just establishing the connection, itself.

A socket timeout is the timeout when waiting for individual packets. It's a common misconception that a socket timeout is the timeout to receive the full response. So if you have a socket timeout of 1 second, and a response comprised of 3 IP packets, where each response packet takes 0.9 seconds to arrive, for a total response time of 2.7 seconds, then there will be no timeout.

How to break out of nested loops?

bool stop = false;

{
    for (int j = 0; (j < 1000) && !stop; j++)
    {
        if (condition)
            stop = true;

How to trim a file extension from a String in JavaScript?

You can use path to maneuver.

var MYPATH = '/User/HELLO/WORLD/FILENAME.js';
var MYEXT = '.js';
var fileName = path.basename(MYPATH, MYEXT);
var filePath = path.dirname(MYPATH) + '/' + fileName;

Output

> filePath
'/User/HELLO/WORLD/FILENAME'
> fileName
'FILENAME'
> MYPATH
'/User/HELLO/WORLD/FILENAME.js'

Installing Bootstrap 3 on Rails App

As many know, there is no need for a gem.

Steps to take:

  1. Download Bootstrap
  2. Copy

    bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css
    bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css 
    

    to: app/assets/stylesheets

  3. Copy

    bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js
    bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js 
    

    to: app/assets/javascripts

  4. Append to: app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

    *= require bootstrap

  5. Append to: app/assets/javascripts/application.js

    //= require bootstrap

That is all. You are ready to add a new cool Bootstrap template.


Why app/ instead of vendor/?

It is important to add the files to app/assets, so in the future you'll be able to overwrite Bootstrap styles.

If later you want to add a custom.css.scss file with custom styles. You'll have something similar to this in application.css:

 *= require bootstrap                                                            
 *= require custom  

If you placed the bootstrap files in app/assets, everything works as expected. But, if you placed them in vendor/assets, the Bootstrap files will be loaded last. Like this:

<link href="/assets/custom.css?body=1" media="screen" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/assets/bootstrap.css?body=1" media="screen" rel="stylesheet">

So, some of your customizations won't be used as the Bootstrap styles will override them.

Reason behind this

Rails will search for assets in many locations; to get a list of this locations you can do this:

$ rails console
> Rails.application.config.assets.paths

In the output you'll see that app/assets takes precedence, thus loading it first.

How to prevent browser to invoke basic auth popup and handle 401 error using Jquery?

Return a generic 400 status code, and then process that client-side.

Or you can keep the 401, and not return the WWW-Authenticate header, which is really what the browser is responding to with the authentication popup. If the WWW-Authenticate header is missing, then the browser won't prompt for credentials.

How to change the color of a CheckBox?

Most answers go through the xml file. If you find an active answer for most Android versions and are just one color for the two statuses Check an UnCheck: here is my solution:

Kotlin:

val colorFilter = PorterDuffColorFilter(Color.CYAN, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP)
CompoundButtonCompat.getButtonDrawable(checkBox)?.colorFilter = colorFilter

Java:

ColorFilter colorFilter = new PorterDuffColorFilter(Color.CYAN, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
Drawable drawable = CompoundButtonCompat.getButtonDrawable(checkBox);
if (drawable != null) {
    drawable.setColorFilter(colorFilter);
}

Fragment onCreateView and onActivityCreated called twice

It looks to me like it's because you are instantiating your TabListener every time... so the system is recreating your fragment from the savedInstanceState and then you are doing it again in your onCreate.

You should wrap that in a if(savedInstanceState == null) so it only fires if there is no savedInstanceState.

Tracing XML request/responses with JAX-WS

I had been trying to find some framework library to log the web service soap request and response for a couple days. The code below fixed the issue for me:

System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump", "true");
        System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump", "true");
        System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump", "true");
        System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump", "true");

How to convert JSON string to array

There is a problem with the string you are calling a json. I have made some changes to it below. If you properly format the string to a correct json, the code below works.

$str = '{
        "action" : "create",
        "record": {
            "type": "n$product",
            "fields": {
                "nname": "Bread",
                "nprice": 2.11
            },
            "namespaces": { "my.demo": "n" }
        }
    }';

    $response = json_decode($str, TRUE);
    echo '<br> action' . $response["action"] . '<br><br>';

Python and SQLite: insert into table

#The Best way is to use `fStrings` (very easy and powerful in python3)   
#Format: f'your-string'   
#For Example:

mylist=['laks',444,'M']

cursor.execute(f'INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ("{mylist[0]}","{mylist[1]}","{mylist[2]}")')

#THATS ALL!! EASY!!
#You can use it with for loop!
