Default FirebaseApp is not initialized

It seems that google-services:4.1.0 has an issue. Either downgrade it to

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.0'

or upgrade it to

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha08'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
    /*classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' <-- this was the problem */
}

Hope it helps

How do I remove diacritics (accents) from a string in .NET?

I needed something that converts all major unicode characters and the voted answer leaved a few out so I've created a version of CodeIgniter's convert_accented_characters($str) into C# that is easily customisable:

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public static class Strings
{
    static Dictionary<string, string> foreign_characters = new Dictionary<string, string>
    {
        { "äæ?", "ae" },
        { "öœ", "oe" },
        { "ü", "ue" },
        { "Ä", "Ae" },

How to search for file names in Visual Studio?

The best option now is to install Microsoft Visual Studio add on called Productivity Power Tools (VS 2010 version, VS 2013 version).

With this comes "Solution Navigator" (alternative to Solution Explorer, with a lot of benefits).

search solution navigator

BTW, this feature is built-in into Visual Studio 2012.

Entity Framework 5 Updating a Record

Just to add to the list of options. You can also grab the object from the database, and use an auto mapping tool like Auto Mapper to update the parts of the record you want to change..

Select Multiple Fields from List in Linq

Anonymous types allow you to select arbitrary fields into data structures that are strongly typed later on in your code:

var cats = listObject
    .Select(i => new { i.category_id, i.category_name })
    .Distinct()
    .OrderByDescending(i => i.category_name)
    .ToArray();

Since you (apparently) need to store it for later use, you could use the GroupBy operator:

Data[] cats = listObject
    .GroupBy(i => new { i.category_id, i.category_name })
    .OrderByDescending(g => g.Key.category_name)
    .Select(g => g.First())
    .ToArray();

How do I convert array of Objects into one Object in JavaScript?

I like the functional approach to achieve this task:

var arr = [{ key:"11", value:"1100" }, { key:"22", value:"2200" }];
var result = arr.reduce(function(obj,item){
  obj[item.key] = item.value; 
  return obj;
}, {});

Note: Last {} is the initial obj value for reduce function, if you won't provide the initial value the first arr element will be used (which is probably undesirable).

https://jsfiddle.net/GreQ/2xa078da/

Skipping every other element after the first

def skip_elements(elements):
  new_list = []
  for index,element in enumerate(elements):
    if index == 0:
      new_list.append(element)
    elif (index % 2) == 0: 
      new_list.append(element)
  return new_list

Also can use for loop + enumerate. elif (index % 2) == 0: ## Checking if number is even, not odd cause indexing starts from zero not 1.

Android SQLite Example

The following Links my help you

1. Android Sqlite Database

2. Tutorial 1

Database Helper Class:

A helper class to manage database creation and version management.

You create a subclass implementing onCreate(SQLiteDatabase), onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase, int, int) and optionally onOpen(SQLiteDatabase), and this class takes care of opening the database if it exists, creating it if it does not, and upgrading it as necessary. Transactions are used to make sure the database is always in a sensible state.

This class makes it easy for ContentProvider implementations to defer opening and upgrading the database until first use, to avoid blocking application startup with long-running database upgrades.

Which Android IDE is better - Android Studio or Eclipse?

Working with Eclipse can be difficult at times, probably when debugging and designing layouts Eclipse sometimes get stuck and we have to restart Eclipse from time to time. Also you get problems with emulators.

Android studio was released very recently and this IDE is not yet heavily used by developers. Therefore, it may contain certain bugs.

This describes the difference between android android studio and eclipse project structure: Android Studio Project Structure (v.s. Eclipse Project Structure)

This teaches you how to use the android studio: http://www.infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/articles/android-studio-vs-eclipse-1-0

Inserting data to table (mysqli insert)

Okay, of course the question has been answered, but no-one seems to notice the third line of your code. It continuosly bugged me.

    <?php
    mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","web_table");
    mysql_select_db("web_table") or die(mysql_error());

for some reason, you made a mysqli connection to server, but you are trying to make a mysql connection to database.To get going, rather use

       $link = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","web_table");
       mysqli_select_db ($link , "web_table" ) or die.....

or for where i began

     <?php $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","web_table");       
      global $connection; // global connection to databases - kill it once you're done

or just query with a $connection parameter as the other argument like above. Get rid of that third line.

Folder structure for a Node.js project

Assuming we are talking about web applications and building APIs:

One approach is to categorize files by feature, much like what a micro service architecture would look like. The biggest win in my opinion is that it is super easy to see which files relate to a feature of the application.

The best way to illustrate is through an example:


We are developing a library application. In the first version of the application, a user can:

  • Search for books and see metadata of books
  • Search for authors and see their books

In a second version, users can also:

  • Create an account and log in
  • Loan/borrow books

In a third version, users can also:

  • Save a list of books they want to read/mark favorites

First we have the following structure:

books
  +- controllers
  ¦   +- booksController.js
  ¦   +- authorsController.js
  ¦
  +- entities
      +- book.js
      +- author.js

We then add on the user and loan features:

user
  +- controllers
  ¦   +- userController.js
  +- entities
  ¦   +- user.js
  +- middleware
       +- authentication.js
loan
  +- controllers
  ¦   +- loanController.js
  +- entities
      +- loan.js

And then the favorites functionality:

favorites
  +- controllers
  ¦   +- favoritesController.js
  +- entities
      +- favorite.js

For any new developer that gets handed the task to add on that the books search should also return information if any book have been marked as favorite, it's really easy to see where in the code he/she should look.

Then when the product owner sweeps in and exclaims that the favorites feature should be removed completely, it's easy to remove it.

How to set recurring schedule for xlsm file using Windows Task Scheduler

Better to use a as you indicated

  1. Create a simple vbs, which is a text file with a .vbs extension (see sample code below)
  2. Use the Task Scheduler to run the vbs
  3. Use the vbs to open the workbook at the scheduled time and then either:
    • use the Private Sub Workbook_Open() event in the ThisWorkbook module to run code when the file is opened
    • more robustly (as macros may be disabled on open), use Application.Run in the vbs to run the macro

See this example of the later approach at Running Excel on Windows Task Scheduler

sample vbs

Dim ObjExcel, ObjWB
Set ObjExcel = CreateObject("excel.application")
'vbs opens a file specified by the path below
Set ObjWB = ObjExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\rod.xlsm")
'either use the Workbook Open event (if macros are enabled), or Application.Run

ObjWB.Close False
ObjExcel.Quit
Set ObjExcel = Nothing

Call Javascript onchange event by programmatically changing textbox value

You can fire the event simply with

C error: undefined reference to function, but it IS defined

I think the problem is that when you're trying to compile testpoint.c, it includes point.h but it doesn't know about point.c. Since point.c has the definition for create, not having point.c will cause the compilation to fail.

I'm not familiar with MinGW, but you need to tell the compiler to look for point.c. For example with gcc you might do this:

gcc point.c testpoint.c

As others have pointed out, you also need to remove one of your main functions, since you can only have one.

Using .Select and .Where in a single LINQ statement

Did you add the Select() after the Where() or before?

You should add it after, because of the concurrency logic:

 1 Take the entire table  
 2 Filter it accordingly  
 3 Select only the ID's  
 4 Make them distinct.  

If you do a Select first, the Where clause can only contain the ID attribute because all other attributes have already been edited out.

Update: For clarity, this order of operators should work:

db.Items.Where(x=> x.userid == user_ID).Select(x=>x.Id).Distinct();

Probably want to add a .toList() at the end but that's optional :)

How to split one string into multiple variables in bash shell?

Sounds like a job for set with a custom IFS.

IFS=-
set $STR
var1=$1
var2=$2

(You will want to do this in a function with a local IFS so you don't mess up other parts of your script where you require IFS to be what you expect.)

How do I get the picture size with PIL?

You can use Pillow (Website, Documentation, GitHub, PyPI). Pillow has the same interface as PIL, but works with Python 3.

Installation

$ pip install Pillow

If you don't have administrator rights (sudo on Debian), you can use

$ pip install --user Pillow

Other notes regarding the installation are here.

Code

from PIL import Image
with Image.open(filepath) as img:
    width, height = img.size

Speed

This needed 3.21 seconds for 30336 images (JPGs from 31x21 to 424x428, training data from National Data Science Bowl on Kaggle)

This is probably the most important reason to use Pillow instead of something self-written. And you should use Pillow instead of PIL (python-imaging), because it works with Python 3.

Alternative #1: Numpy (deprecated)

I keep scipy.ndimage.imread as the information is still out there, but keep in mind:

imread is deprecated! imread is deprecated in SciPy 1.0.0, and [was] removed in 1.2.0.

import scipy.ndimage
height, width, channels = scipy.ndimage.imread(filepath).shape

Alternative #2: Pygame

import pygame
img = pygame.image.load(filepath)
width = img.get_width()
height = img.get_height()

Assign a synthesizable initial value to a reg in Verilog

You can combine the register declaration with initialization.

reg [7:0] data_reg = 8'b10101011;

Or you can use an initial block

reg [7:0] data_reg;
initial data_reg = 8'b10101011;

Eclipse: Frustration with Java 1.7 (unbound library)

To set JDK you can watch this video : how to set JDK . Then when you'll have JDK:

  1. Right click on build path and select "Build Path"
  2. Choose "Configure Build Path"
  3. Click on "JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.7] (unbound)"
  4. Edit it
  5. Choose "Alternate JRE"
  6. Click on "Installed JREs.." button
  7. Press Add
  8. Choose to add "Standard VM"
  9. Choose JRE Home directory - usually it is locates in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" directory
  10. Press "Finish"
  11. Re-check newly appeared "Jre7": Verify that now when you edit "JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.7]" "Alternate JRE" is chosen for jre7.

}

my @teststrings = ("one", "two", "three", "one");

my @filtered = uniq @teststrings;

my @sorted = sort @teststrings;
print "sort: @sorted\n";
my @sortedfiltered = uniq sort @teststrings;
print "uniq sort : @sortedfiltered\n";

How do you create nested dict in Python?

UPDATE: For an arbitrary length of a nested dictionary, go to this answer.

Use the defaultdict function from the collections.

High performance: "if key not in dict" is very expensive when the data set is large.

Low maintenance: make the code more readable and can be easily extended.

from collections import defaultdict

target_dict = defaultdict(dict)
target_dict[key1][key2] = val

How can I fill a div with an image while keeping it proportional?

It's a bit late but I just had the same problem and finally solved it with the help of another stackoverflow post (https://stackoverflow.com/a/29103071).

img {
   object-fit: cover;
   width: 50px;
   height: 100px;
}

Hope this still helps somebody.

Ps: Also works together with max-height, max-width, min-width and min-height css properties. It's espacially handy with using lenght units like 100% or 100vh/100vw to fill the container or the whole browser window.

How to enable mbstring from php.ini?

All XAMPP packages come with Multibyte String (php_mbstring.dll) extension installed.

If you have accidentally removed DLL file from php/ext folder, just add it back (get the copy from XAMPP zip archive - its downloadable).

If you have deleted the accompanying INI configuration line from php.ini file, add it back as well:

extension=php_mbstring.dll

Also, ensure to restart your webserver (Apache) using XAMPP control panel.

Additional Info on Enabling PHP Extensions

  • install extension (e.g. put php_mbstring.dll into /XAMPP/php/ext directory)
  • in php.ini, ensure extension directory specified (e.g. extension_dir = "ext")
  • ensure correct build of DLL file (e.g. 32bit thread-safe VC9 only works with DLL files built using exact same tools and configuration: 32bit thread-safe VC9)
  • ensure PHP API versions match (If not, once you restart the webserver you will receive related error.)

Retrieving Android API version programmatically

Very easy:

   String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
   String model = Build.MODEL;
   int version = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
   String versionRelease = Build.VERSION.RELEASE;

Log.e("MyActivity", "manufacturer " + manufacturer
            + " \n model " + model
            + " \n version " + version
            + " \n versionRelease " + versionRelease
    );

Output:

E/MyActivity:   manufacturer ManufacturerX
                model SM-T310 
                version 19 
                versionRelease 4.4.2

Jquery Date picker Default Date

interesting, datepicker default date is current date as I found,

but you can set date by

don't forget to check you system date :)

How do I delay a function call for 5 seconds?

You can use plain javascript, this will call your_func once, after 5 seconds:

setTimeout(function() { your_func(); }, 5000);

If your function has no parameters and no explicit receiver you can call directly setTimeout(func, 5000)

There is also a plugin I've used once. It has oneTime and everyTime methods.

How to check if a value exists in a dictionary (python)

Python dictionary has get(key) function

>>> d.get(key)

For Example,

>>> d = {'1': 'one', '3': 'three', '2': 'two', '5': 'five', '4': 'four'}
>>> d.get('3')
'three'
>>> d.get('10')
None

If your key does'nt exist, will return None value.

foo = d[key] # raise error if key doesn't exist
foo = d.get(key) # return None if key doesn't exist

Content relevant to versions less than 3.0 and greater than 5.0.

How can I add new item to the String array?

From arrays

An array is a container object that holds a fixed number of values of a single type. The length of an array is established when the array is created. After creation, its length is fixed. You've seen an example of arrays already, in the main method of the "Hello World!" application. This section discusses arrays in greater detail.

enter image description here

So in the case of a String array, once you create it with some length, you can't modify it, but you can add elements until you fill it.

String[] arr = new String[10]; // 10 is the length of the array.
arr[0] = "kk";
arr[1] = "pp";
...

So if your requirement is to add many objects, it's recommended that you use Lists like:

List<String> a = new ArrayList<String>();
a.add("kk");
a.add("pp"); 

Posting a File and Associated Data to a RESTful WebService preferably as JSON

Please ensure that you have following import. Ofcourse other standard imports

import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource


    void uploadzipFiles(String token) {

        RestBuilder rest = new RestBuilder(connectTimeout:10000, readTimeout:20000)

        def zipFile = new File("testdata.zip")
        def Id = "001G00000"
        MultiValueMap<String, String> form = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>()
        form.add("id", id)
        form.add('file',new FileSystemResource(zipFile))
        def urld ='''http://URL''';
        def resp = rest.post(urld) {
            header('X-Auth-Token', clientSecret)
            contentType "multipart/form-data"
            body(form)
        }
        println "resp::"+resp
        println "resp::"+resp.text
        println "resp::"+resp.headers
        println "resp::"+resp.body

Do I need <class> elements in persistence.xml?

Not sure if you're doing something similar to what I am doing, but Im generating a load of source java from an XSD using JAXB in a seperate component using Maven. Lets say this artifact is called "base-model"

I wanted to import this artifact containing the java source and run hibernate over all classes in my "base-model" artifact jar and not specify each explicitly. Im adding "base-model" as a dependency for my hibernate component but the trouble is the tag in persistence.xml only allows you to specify absolute paths.

The way I got round it is to copy my "base-model" jar dependency explictly to my target dir and also strip the version of it. So whereas if I build my "base-model" artifact it generate "base-model-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar", the copy-resources step copies it as "base-model.jar".

So in your pom for the hibernate component:

            <!-- We want to copy across all our artifacts containing java code
        generated from our scheams. We copy them across and strip the version
        so that our persistence.xml can reference them directly in the tag
        <jar-file>target/dependency/${artifactId}.jar</jar-file> -->
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.5.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>copy-dependencies</id>
                    <phase>process-resources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>       
            <configuration>
                <includeArtifactIds>base-model</includeArtifactIds>
                <stripVersion>true</stripVersion>
            </configuration>        
        </plugin>

Then I call the hibernate plugin in the next phase "process-classes":

            <!-- Generate the schema DDL -->
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.2</version>

            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>generate-ddl</id>
                    <phase>process-classes</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>hbm2ddl</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <components>
                    <component>
                        <name>hbm2java</name>
                        <implementation>annotationconfiguration</implementation>
                        <outputDirectory>/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
                    </component>
                </components>
                <componentProperties>
                    <persistenceunit>mysql</persistenceunit>
                    <implementation>jpaconfiguration</implementation>
                    <create>true</create>
                    <export>false</export>
                    <drop>true</drop>
                    <outputfilename>mysql-schema.sql</outputfilename>
                </componentProperties>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

and finally in my persistence.xml I can explicitly set the location of the jar thus:

<jar-file>target/dependency/base-model.jar</jar-file>

and add the property:

<property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class, hbm"/>

How to get query parameters from URL in Angular 5?

Angular Router provides method parseUrl(url: string) that parses url into UrlTree. One of the properties of UrlTree are queryParams. So you can do sth like:

this.router.parseUrl(this.router.url).queryParams[key] || '';

How to uninstall a package installed with pip install --user

I strongly recommend you to use virtual environments for python package installation. With virtualenv, you prevent any package conflict and total isolation from your python related userland commands.

To delete all your package follow this;

It's possible to uninstall packages installed with --user flag. This one worked for me;

pip freeze --user | xargs pip uninstall -y

For python 3;

pip3 freeze --user | xargs pip3 uninstall -y

But somehow these commands don't uninstall setuptools and pip. After those commands (if you really want clean python) you may delete them with;

pip uninstall setuptools && pip uninstall pip

How to get item count from DynamoDB?

In Scala:

import com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder
import com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.document.DynamoDB
val client = AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder.standard().build()

val dynamoDB = new DynamoDB(client)
val tableDescription = dynamoDB.getTable("table name").describe().getItemCount()

Android java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

After Checking Java Build Path, Then add lines of code in manifest file.

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Read next word in java

you're better off reading a line and then doing a split.

File file = new File("path/to/file");
String words[]; // I miss C
String line;
HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<>();
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), "UTF-8")))
{
    while((line = br.readLine() != null)){
        words = line.split("\\s");
        if (hm.containsKey(words[0])){
                System.out.println("Found duplicate ... handle logic");
        }
        hm.put(words[0],words[1]); //if index==0 is ur key
    }

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

Received fatal alert: handshake_failure through SSLHandshakeException

To troubleshoot from developer (item 1) and system admin (item 2 and 3) perspective:

  1. Enable SSL handshake debug at Java via -Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake:verbose.
  2. Install ssldump at server via sudo apt install ssldump or compile from source by following this link if you observe Unknown value in cipher when you run below step.
  3. At server, sudo ssldump -k <your-private-key> -i <your-network-interface>
  4. Check the log about real reason of the failure.

Example of not working handshake of ssldump log:

Use jQuery to change a second select list based on the first select list option

All of these methods are great. I have found another simple resource that is a great example of creating a dynamic form using "onchange" with AJAX.

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_database.asp

I simply modified the text table output to anther select dropdown populated based on the selection of the first drop down. For my application a user will select a state then the second dropdown will be populated with the cities for the selected state. Much like the JSON example above but with php and mysql.

expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token

This is not only a 'newbie' scenario. I just ran across this compiler message (GCC 5.4) when refactoring a class to remove some constructor parameters. I forgot to update both the declaration and definition, and the compiler spit out this unintuitive error.

The bottom line seems to be this: If the compiler can't match the definition's signature to the declaration's signature it thinks the definition is not a constructor and then doesn't know how to parse the code and displays this error. Which is also what happened for the OP: std::string is not the same type as string so the declaration's signature differed from the definition's and this message was spit out.

As a side note, it would be nice if the compiler looked for almost-matching constructor signatures and upon finding one suggested that the parameters didn't match rather than giving this message.

How to check if MySQL returns null/empty?

You can use is_null() function.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-null.php : in the comments :

mdufour at gmail dot com 20-Aug-2008 04:31 Testing for a NULL field/column returned by a mySQL query.

Say you want to check if field/column “foo” from a given row of the table “bar” when > returned by a mySQL query is null. You just use the “is_null()” function:

[connect…]
$qResult=mysql_query("Select foo from bar;");
while ($qValues=mysql_fetch_assoc($qResult))
     if (is_null($qValues["foo"]))
         echo "No foo data!";
     else
         echo "Foo data=".$qValues["foo"];

Difference between "Complete binary tree", "strict binary tree","full binary Tree"?

Consider a binary tree whose nodes are drawn in a tree fashion. Now start numbering the nodes from top to bottom and left to right. A complete tree has these properties:

If n has children then all nodes numbered less than n have two children.

If n has one child it must be the left child and all nodes less than n have two children. In addition no node numbered greater than n has children.

If n has no children then no node numbered greater than n has children.

A complete binary tree can be used to represent a heap. It can be easily represented in contiguous memory with no gaps (i.e. all array elements are used save for any space that may exist at the end).

I just had this issue and found that it was because I had accidentally left an override on a function that I'd moved from the class to a protocol (therefore the subclass was no longer overriding a function of the parent).

Android Canvas: drawing too large bitmap

In my case I had to remove the android platform and add it again. Something got stuck and copying all my code into another app worked like a charm - hence my idea of cleaning up the build for android by removing the platform.

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android

I guess it's some kind of cleanup that you have to do from time to time :-(

Angularjs autocomplete from $http

Use angular-ui-bootstrap's typehead.

It had great support for $http and promises. Also, it doesn't include any JQuery at all, pure AngularJS.

(I always prefer using existing libraries and if they are missing something to open an issue or pull request, much better then creating your own again)

Convert integer into its character equivalent, where 0 => a, 1 => b, etc

The only problemo with @mikemaccana's great solution is that it uses the binary >> operator which is costly, performance-wise. I suggest this modification to his great work as a slight improvement that your colleagues can perhaps read more easily.

const getColumnName = (i) => {
     const previousLetters = (i >= 26 ? getColumnName(Math.floor(i / 26) -1 ) : '');
     const lastLetter = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'[i % 26]; 
     return previousLetters + lastLetter;
}

Or as a one-liner

const getColumnName = i => (i >= 26 ? getColumnName(Math.floor(i / 26) -1 ) : '') + 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'[i % 26];

Example:

getColumnName(0); // "A"
getColumnName(1); // "B"
getColumnName(25); // "Z"
getColumnName(26); // "AA"
getColumnName(27); // "AB"
getColumnName(80085) // "DNLF"

How to download and save an image in Android

I have a simple solution which is working perfectly. The code is not mine, I found it on this link. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Before downloading the image, let’s write a method for saving bitmap into an image file in the internal storage in android. It needs a context, better to use the pass in the application context by getApplicationContext(). This method can be dumped into your Activity class or other util classes.

public void saveImage(Context context, Bitmap b, String imageName) 
{
    FileOutputStream foStream;
    try 
    {
        foStream = context.openFileOutput(imageName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, foStream);
        foStream.close();
    } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        Log.d("saveImage", "Exception 2, Something went wrong!");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

2. Now we have a method to save bitmap into an image file in andorid, let’s write the AsyncTask for downloading images by url. This private class need to be placed in your Activity class as a subclass. After the image is downloaded, in the onPostExecute method, it calls the saveImage method defined above to save the image. Note, the image name is hardcoded as “my_image.png”.

private class DownloadImage extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
    private String TAG = "DownloadImage";
    private Bitmap downloadImageBitmap(String sUrl) {
        Bitmap bitmap = null;
        try {
            InputStream inputStream = new URL(sUrl).openStream();   // Download Image from URL
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);       // Decode Bitmap
            inputStream.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Exception 1, Something went wrong!");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return bitmap;
    }

    @Override
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... params) {
        return downloadImageBitmap(params[0]);
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        saveImage(getApplicationContext(), result, "my_image.png");
    }
}

3. The AsyncTask for downloading the image is defined, but we need to execute it in order to run that AsyncTask. To do so, write this line in your onCreate method in your Activity class, or in an onClick method of a button or other places you see fit.

new DownloadImage().execute("http://developer.android.com/images/activity_lifecycle.png");

The image should be saved in /data/data/your.app.packagename/files/my_image.jpeg, check this post for accessing this directory from your device.

IMO this solves the issue! If you want further steps such as load the image you can follow these extra steps:

4. After the image is downloaded, we need a way to load the image bitmap from the internal storage, so we can use it. Let’s write the method for loading the image bitmap. This method takes two paramethers, a context and an image file name, without the full path, the context.openFileInput(imageName) will look up the file at the save directory when this file name was saved in the above saveImage method.

public Bitmap loadImageBitmap(Context context, String imageName) {
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    FileInputStream fiStream;
    try {
        fiStream    = context.openFileInput(imageName);
        bitmap      = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fiStream);
        fiStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d("saveImage", "Exception 3, Something went wrong!");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return bitmap;
}

5. Now we have everything we needed for setting the image of an ImageView or any other Views that you like to use the image on. When we save the image, we hardcoded the image name as “my_image.jpeg”, now we can pass this image name to the above loadImageBitmap method to get the bitmap and set it to an ImageView.

someImageView.setImageBitmap(loadImageBitmap(getApplicationContext(), "my_image.jpeg"));

6. To get the image full path by image name.

File file            = getApplicationContext().getFileStreamPath("my_image.jpeg");
String imageFullPath = file.getAbsolutePath();

7. Check if the image file exists.

File file =

getApplicationContext().getFileStreamPath("my_image.jpeg");
if (file.exists()) Log.d("file", "my_image.jpeg exists!");
  1. To delete the image file.

    File file = getApplicationContext().getFileStreamPath("my_image.jpeg"); if (file.delete()) Log.d("file", "my_image.jpeg deleted!");

how do I print an unsigned char as hex in c++ using ostream?

I have used in this way.

    char strInput[] = "yourchardata";
char chHex[2] = "";

int nLength = strlen(strInput);
char* chResut = new char[(nLength*2) + 1];
memset(chResut, 0, (nLength*2) + 1);



for (int i = 0; i < nLength; i++)
{
    sprintf(chHex, "%02X", strInput[i]& 0x00FF);    
    memcpy(&(chResut[i*2]), chHex, 2);
}

printf("\n%s",chResut);
delete chResut;
chResut = NULL;

Git vs Team Foundation Server

I think, the statement

everyone hates it except me

makes any further discussion waste: when you keep using Git, they will blame you if anything goes wrong.

Apart from this, for me Git has two advantages over a centralized VCS that I appreciate most (as partly described by Rob Sobers):

  • automatic backup of the whole repo: everytime someone pulls from the central repo, he/she gets a full history of the changes. When one repo gets lost: don't worry, take one of those present on every workstation.
  • offline repo access: when I'm working at home (or in an airplane or train), I can see the full history of the project, every single checkin, without starting up my VPN connection to work and can work like I were at work: checkin, checkout, branch, anything.

But as I said: I think that you're fighting a lost battle: when everyone hates Git, don't use Git. It could help you more to know why they hate Git instead of trying them to convince them.

If they simply don't want it 'cause it's new to them and are not willing to learn something new: are you sure that you will do successful development with that staff?

Does really every single person hate Git or are they influenced by some opinion leaders? Find the leaders and ask them what's the problem. Convince them and you'll convince the rest of the team.

If you cannot convince the leaders: forget about using Git, take the TFS. Will make your life easier.

Could not load file or assembly '' or one of its dependencies

In my case, none of the proposed answer worked.

Here is what worked for me:

  1. Remove the reference
  2. Rename the DLL
  3. Import the reference again

The second step was important apparently as it did not work without it.

setting textColor in TextView in layout/main.xml main layout file not referencing colors.xml file. (It wants a #RRGGBB instead of @color/text_color)

After experimenting on that case: android:textColor="@colors/text_color" is wrong since @color is not filename dependant. You can name your resource file foobar.xml, it doesn't matter but if you have defined some colors in it you can access them using @color/some_color.

Update:

file location: res/values/colors.xml The filename is arbitrary. The element's name will be used as the resource ID. (Source)

Concatenate a NumPy array to another NumPy array

Well, the error message says it all: NumPy arrays do not have an append() method. There's a free function numpy.append() however:

numpy.append(M, a)

This will create a new array instead of mutating M in place. Note that using numpy.append() involves copying both arrays. You will get better performing code if you use fixed-sized NumPy arrays.

Twitter bootstrap scrollable table

None of these answers worked satisfactorily for me. They either didn't fix the table heading row in place or they required fixed column widths to work, and even then tended to have the heading row and body rows misaligned in various browsers.

I recommend biting the bullet and using a proper grid control like jsGrid or my personal favorite, SlickGrid. It obviously introduces a dependency but if you want your tables to behave like real grids with cross-browser support, this will save you pulling your hair out. It also gives you the option of sorting and resizing columns plus tons of other features if you want them.

How do I create a file and write to it?

It's worth a try for Java 7+:

 Files.write(Paths.get("./output.txt"), "Information string herer".getBytes());

CSS overflow-x: visible; and overflow-y: hidden; causing scrollbar issue

After some serious searching it seems i've found the answer to my question:

from: http://www.brunildo.org/test/Overflowxy2.html

In Gecko, Safari, Opera, ‘visible’ becomes ‘auto’ also when combined with ‘hidden’ (in other words: ‘visible’ becomes ‘auto’ when combined with anything else different from ‘visible’). Gecko 1.8, Safari 3, Opera 9.5 are pretty consistent among them.

also the W3C spec says:

The computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’ are the same as their specified values, except that some combinations with ‘visible’ are not possible: if one is specified as ‘visible’ and the other is ‘scroll’ or ‘auto’, then ‘visible’ is set to ‘auto’. The computed value of ‘overflow’ is equal to the computed value of ‘overflow-x’ if ‘overflow-y’ is the same; otherwise it is the pair of computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’.

Short Version:

If you are using visible for either overflow-x or overflow-y and something other than visible for the other, the visible value is interpreted as auto.

You are implicitly asking Python to convert (a['x']==1) and (a['y']==10) to boolean values.

NumPy arrays (of length greater than 1) and Pandas objects such as Series do not have a boolean value -- in other words, they raise

ValueError: The truth value of an array is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.any() or a.all().

when used as a boolean value. That's because its unclear when it should be True or False. Some users might assume they are True if they have non-zero length, like a Python list. Others might desire for it to be True only if all its elements are True. Others might want it to be True if any of its elements are True.

Because there are so many conflicting expectations, the designers of NumPy and Pandas refuse to guess, and instead raise a ValueError.

Instead, you must be explicit, by calling the empty(), all() or any() method to indicate which behavior you desire.

In this case, however, it looks like you do not want boolean evaluation, you want element-wise logical-and. That is what the & binary operator performs:

(a['x']==1) & (a['y']==10)

returns a boolean array.


By the way, as alexpmil notes, the parentheses are mandatory since & has a higher operator precedence than ==. Without the parentheses, a['x']==1 & a['y']==10 would be evaluated as a['x'] == (1 & a['y']) == 10 which would in turn be equivalent to the chained comparison (a['x'] == (1 & a['y'])) and ((1 & a['y']) == 10). That is an expression of the form Series and Series. The use of and with two Series would again trigger the same ValueError as above. That's why the parentheses are mandatory.

Modify table: How to change 'Allow Nulls' attribute from not null to allow null

String length in bytes in JavaScript

Took me a while to find a solution for React Native so I'll put it here:

First install the buffer package:

npm install --save buffer

Then user the node method:

const { Buffer } = require('buffer');
const length = Buffer.byteLength(string, 'utf-8');

Cannot declare instance members in a static class in C#

public static class Employee
{
    public static string SomeSetting
    {
        get 
        {
            return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SomeSetting"];    
        }
    }
}

Declare the property as static, as well. Also, Don't bother storing a private reference to ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. ConfigurationManager is already a static class.

If you feel that you must store a reference to appsettings, try

public static class Employee
{
    private static NameValueCollection _appSettings=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

    public static NameValueCollection AppSettings { get { return _appSettings; } }

}

It's good form to always give an explicit access specifier (private, public, etc) even though the default is private.

How to handle static content in Spring MVC?

I've just been grappling with this issue in Spring MVC 3.0 and I initially went with the UrlRewriteFilter option. However I was not happy with this solution as it "didn't feel right" (I'm not the only one - see the link above to the Spring Forums where the word "hack" appears a few times).

So I came up with a similar solution to "Unknown (Google)" above but borrowed the idea of having all static content served from /static/ (taken from the Spring Roo version of the Pet Store app). The "default" servlet did not work for me but the Spring Webflow ResourceServlet did (also taken from Spring Roo generated app).

Web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>mainDispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Resource Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.js.resource.ResourceServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>mainDispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Resource Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/static/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The only change I made to JSPs was to add the /static/ path to URLs for CSS, JS and images. E.g. "${pageContext.request.contextPath}/static/css/screen.css".

for Maven users the dependency for "org.springframework.js.resource.ResourceServlet" is:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.webflow</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.springframework.js</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.8.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

CSS image resize percentage of itself?

This is a not-hard approach:

How do I decode a string with escaped unicode?

Note that the use of unescape() is deprecated and doesn't work with the TypeScript compiler, for example.

Based on radicand's answer and the comments section below, here's an updated solution:

var string = "http\\u00253A\\u00252F\\u00252Fexample.com";
decodeURIComponent(JSON.parse('"' + string.replace(/\"/g, '\\"') + '"'));

Error 80040154 (Class not registered exception) when initializing VCProjectEngineObject (Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.dll)

There are not many good reasons this would fail, especially the regsvr32 step. Run dumpbin /exports on that dll. If you don't see DllRegisterServer then you've got a corrupt install. It should have more side-effects, you wouldn't be able to build C/C++ projects anymore.

One standard failure mode is running this on a 64-bit operating system. This is 32-bit unmanaged code, you would indeed get the 'class not registered' exception. Project + Properties, Build tab, change Platform Target to x86.

Get CPU Usage from Windows Command Prompt

For anyone that stumbles upon this page, none of the solutions here worked for me. I found this is the way to do it (in a batch file):

   for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%J in ("%%p") do echo %%J
)

What is the meaning of the term "thread-safe"?

Instead of thinking of code or classes as thread safe or not, I think it is more helpful to think of actions as being thread-safe. Two actions are thread safe if they will be behave as specified when run from arbitrary threading contexts. In many cases, classes will support some combinations of actions in thread-safe fashion and others not.

For example, many collections like array-lists and hash sets will guarantee that if they are initially accessed exclusively with one thread, and they are never modified after a reference becomes visible to any other threads, they may be read in arbitrary fashion by any combination of threads without interference.

More interestingly, some hash-set collections such as the original non-generic one in .NET, may offer a guarantee that as long as no item is ever removed, and provided that only one thread ever writes to them, any thread that tries to read the collection will behave as though accessing a collection where updates might be delayed and occur in arbitrary order, but which will otherwise behave normally. If thread #1 adds X and then Y, and thread #2 looks for and sees Y and then X, it would be possible for thread #2 to see that Y exists but X doesn't; whether or not such behavior is "thread-safe" would depend upon whether thread #2 is prepared to deal with that possibility.

As a final note, some classes--especially blocking communications libraries--may have a "close" or "Dispose" method which is thread-safe with respect to all other methods, but no other methods that are thread-safe with respect to each other. If a thread performs a blocking read request and a user of the program clicks "cancel", there would be no way for a close request to be issued by the thread that's attempting to perform the read. The close/dispose request, however, may asynchronously set a flag which will cause the read request to be canceled as soon as possible. Once close is performed on any thread, the object would become useless, and all attempts at future actions would fail immediately, but being able to asynchronously terminate any attempted I/O operations is better than require that the close request be synchronized with the read (since if the read blocks forever, the synchronization request would be likewise blocked).

How do I read the source code of shell commands?

All these basic commands are part of the coreutils package.

You can find all information you need here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

If you want to download the latest source, you should use git:

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils

To install git on your Ubuntu machine, you should use apt-get (git is not included in the standard Ubuntu installation):

sudo apt-get install git

Truth to be told, here you can find specific source for the ls command:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/ls.c

Only 4984 code lines for a command 'easy enough' as ls... are you still interested in reading it?? Good luck! :D

jQuery Validation plugin: validate check box

There is the easy way

HTML:

<input type="checkbox" name="test[]" />x
<input type="checkbox" name="test[]"  />y
<input type="checkbox" name="test[]" />z
<button type="button" id="submit">Submit</button>

JQUERY:

$("#submit").on("click",function(){
    if (($("input[name*='test']:checked").length)<=0) {
        alert("You must check at least 1 box");
    }
    return true;
});

For this you not need any plugin. Enjoy;)

Webpack - webpack-dev-server: command not found

npm install webpack-dev-server -g -- windows OS

Better you use sudo in linux to avoid permission errors

sudo npm install webpack-dev-server -g

You could use sudo npm install webpack-dev-server --save to add it to package.json.

Sometimes you may require to run the below commands.

npm install webpack-cli --save or npm install webpack-cli -g

How do I delete an entity from symfony2

From what I understand, you struggle with what to put into your template.

I'll show an example:

<ul>
    {% for guest in guests %}
    <li>{{ guest.name }} <a href="{{ path('your_delete_route_name',{'id': guest.id}) }}">[[DELETE]]</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

Now what happens is it iterates over every object within guests (you'll have to rename this if your object collection is named otherwise!), shows the name and places the correct link. The route name might be different.

How to tell which row number is clicked in a table?

A simple and jQuery free solution:

document.querySelector('#elitable').onclick = function(ev) {
   // ev.target <== td element
   // ev.target.parentElement <== tr
   var index = ev.target.parentElement.rowIndex;
}

Bonus: It works even if rows are added/removed dynamically

Bootstrap Responsive Text Size

Well, my solution is sort of hack, but it works and I am using it.

1vw = 1% of viewport width

1vh = 1% of viewport height

1vmin = 1vw or 1vh, whichever is smaller

1vmax = 1vw or 1vh, whichever is larger

h1 {
  font-size: 5.9vw;
}
h2 {
  font-size: 3.0vh;
}
p {
  font-size: 2vmin;
}

How to check if a string contains only numbers?

You may just remove all spaces and leverage LINQ All:

Determines whether all elements of a sequence satisfy a condition.

Use it as shown below:

Dim number As String = "077 234 211"
If number.Replace(" ", "").All(AddressOf Char.IsDigit) Then
    Console.WriteLine("The string is all numeric (spaces ignored)!")
Else
    Console.WriteLine("The string contains a char that is not numeric and space!")
End If

To only check if a string consists of only digits use:

If number.All(AddressOf Char.IsDigit) Then

How to stretch div height to fill parent div - CSS

Suppose you have

<body>
  <div id="root" />
</body>

With normal CSS, you can do the following. See a working app https://github.com/onmyway133/Lyrics/blob/master/index.html

#root {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

With flexbox, you can

html, body {
  height: 100%
}
body {
  display: flex;
  align-items: stretch;
}

#root {
  width: 100%
}

What does the ^ (XOR) operator do?

^ is the Python bitwise XOR operator. It is how you spell XOR in python:

>>> 0 ^ 0
0
>>> 0 ^ 1
1
>>> 1 ^ 0
1
>>> 1 ^ 1
0

XOR stands for exclusive OR. It is used in cryptography because it let's you 'flip' the bits using a mask in a reversable operation:

>>> 10 ^ 5
15
>>> 15 ^ 5
10

where 5 is the mask; (input XOR mask) XOR mask gives you the input again.

Can a CSS class inherit one or more other classes?

While direct inheritance isn't possible.

It is possible to use a class (or id) for a parent tag and then use CSS combinators to alter child tag behaviour from it's heirarchy.

I wouldn't suggest using so many spans like the example, however it's just a proof of concept. There are still many bugs that can arise when trying to apply CSS in this manner. (For example altering text-decoration types).

Allowing Untrusted SSL Certificates with HttpClient

A quick and dirty solution is to use the ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate. This allows you to provide your own certificate validation. The validation is applied globally across the whole App Domain.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
    (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;

I use this mainly for unit testing in situations where I want to run against an endpoint that I am hosting in process and am trying to hit it with a WCF client or the HttpClient.

For production code you may want more fine grained control and would be better off using the WebRequestHandler and its ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate property (See dtb's answer below). Or ctacke answer using the HttpClientHandler. I am preferring either of these two now even with my integration tests over how I used to do it unless I cannot find any other hook.

How to add images to README.md on GitHub?

There are 2 simple way you can do this ,

1) use HTML img tag ,

2) ![](the path where your image is saved/image-name.png)

the path would you can copy from the URL in the browser while you have opened that image. there might be an issue occur of spacing so make sure if there is any space b/w two words of path or in image name add-> %20. just like browser do.

Both of them will work , if you want to understand more you can check my github -> https://github.com/adityarawat29

Editing the date formatting of x-axis tick labels in matplotlib

From the package matplotlib.dates as shown in this example the date format can be applied to the axis label and ticks for plot.

Below I have given an example for labeling axis ticks for multiplots

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.dates as mdates
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('US_temp.csv')
plt.plot(df['Date'],df_f['MINT'],label='Min Temp.')
plt.plot(df['Date'],df_f['MAXT'],label='Max Temp.')
plt.legend()
####### Use the below functions #######
dtFmt = mdates.DateFormatter('%b') # define the formatting
plt.gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(dtFmt) # apply the format to the desired axis
plt.show()

php create object without class

you can always use new stdClass(). Example code:

   $object = new stdClass();
   $object->property = 'Here we go';

   var_dump($object);
   /*
   outputs:

   object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
      ["property"]=>
      string(10) "Here we go"
    }
   */

Also as of PHP 5.4 you can get same output with:

$object = (object) ['property' => 'Here we go'];

Explanation on Integer.MAX_VALUE and Integer.MIN_VALUE to find min and max value in an array

Instead of initializing the variables with arbitrary values (for example int smallest = 9999, largest = 0) it is safer to initialize the variables with the largest and smallest values representable by that number type (that is int smallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE, largest = Integer.MIN_VALUE).

Since your integer array cannot contain a value larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE and smaller than Integer.MIN_VALUE your code works across all edge cases.

How to remove an item from an array in Vue.js

Why not just omit the method all together like:

Getter and Setter?

Generally speaking, the first way is more popular overall because those with prior programming knowledge can easily transition to PHP and get work done in an object-oriented fashion. The first way is more universal. My advice would be to stick with what is tried and true across many languages. Then, when and if you use another language, you'll be ready to get something accomplished (instead of spending time reinventing the wheel).

Get a list of checked checkboxes in a div using jQuery

If you need to get quantity of selected checkboxes:

var selected = []; // initialize array
    $('div#checkboxes input[type=checkbox]').each(function() {
       if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
           selected.push($(this));
       }
    });
var selectedQuantity = selected.length;

PostgreSQL: Resetting password of PostgreSQL on Ubuntu

Assuming you're the administrator of the machine, Ubuntu has granted you the right to sudo to run any command as any user.
Also assuming you did not restrict the rights in the pg_hba.conf file (in the /etc/postgresql/9.1/main directory), it should contain this line as the first rule:

# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket  
local   all             postgres                                peer

(About the file location: 9.1 is the major postgres version and main the name of your "cluster". It will differ if using a newer version of postgres or non-default names. Use the pg_lsclusters command to obtain this information for your version/system).

Anyway, if the pg_hba.conf file does not have that line, edit the file, add it, and reload the service with sudo service postgresql reload.

Then you should be able to log in with psql as the postgres superuser with this shell command:

sudo -u postgres psql

Once inside psql, issue the SQL command:

ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'newpassword';

In this command, postgres is the name of a superuser. If the user whose password is forgotten was ritesh, the command would be:

ALTER USER ritesh PASSWORD 'newpassword';

References: PostgreSQL 9.1.13 Documentation, Chapter 19. Client Authentication

Keep in mind that you need to type postgres with a single S at the end

If leaving the password in clear text in the history of commands or the server log is a problem, psql provides an interactive meta-command to avoid that, as an alternative to ALTER USER ... PASSWORD:

\password username

It asks for the password with a double blind input, then hashes it according to the password_encryption setting and issue the ALTER USER command to the server with the hashed version of the password, instead of the clear text version.

Python TypeError: cannot convert the series to <class 'int'> when trying to do math on dataframe

Seems your initial data contains strings and not numbers. It would probably be best to ensure that the data is already of the required type up front.

However, you can convert strings to numbers like this:

pd.Series(['123', '42']).astype(float)

instead of float(series)

Why aren't Xcode breakpoints functioning?

I have a lot of problems with breakpoints in Xcode (2.4.1). I use a project that just contains other projects (like a Solution in Visual Studio). I find sometimes that breakpoints don't work at all unless there is at least one breakpoint set in the starting project (i.e. the one containing the entry point for my code). If the only breakpoints are in "lower level" projects, they just get ignored.

It also seems as if Xcode only handles breakpoint operations correctly if you act on the breakpoint when you're in the project that contains the source line the breakpoint's on.

If I try deleting or disabling breakpoints via another project, the action sometimes doesn't take effect, even though the debugger indicates that it has. So I will find myself breaking on disabled breakpoints, or on a (now invisible) breakpoint that I removed earlier.

Figuring out whether a number is a Double in Java

Reflection is slower, but works for a situation when you want to know whether that is of type Dog or a Cat and not an instance of Animal. So you'd do something like:

if(null != items.elementAt(1) && items.elementAt(1).getClass().toString().equals("Cat"))
{
//do whatever with cat.. not any other instance of animal.. eg. hideClaws();
}

Not saying the answer above does not work, except the null checking part is necessary.

Another way to answer that is use generics and you are guaranteed to have Double as any element of items.

List<Double> items = new ArrayList<Double>();

How to create a simple http proxy in node.js?

Super simple and readable, here's how you create a local proxy server to a local HTTP server with just Node.js (tested on v8.1.0). I've found it particular useful for integration testing so here's my share:

/**
 * Once this is running open your browser and hit http://localhost
 * You'll see that the request hits the proxy and you get the HTML back
 */

'use strict';

const net = require('net');
const http = require('http');

const PROXY_PORT = 80;
const HTTP_SERVER_PORT = 8080;

let proxy = net.createServer(socket => {

How big can a MySQL database get before performance starts to degrade

I once was called upon to look at a mysql that had "stopped working". I discovered that the DB files were residing on a Network Appliance filer mounted with NFS2 and with a maximum file size of 2GB. And sure enough, the table that had stopped accepting transactions was exactly 2GB on disk. But with regards to the performance curve I'm told that it was working like a champ right up until it didn't work at all! This experience always serves for me as a nice reminder that there're always dimensions above and below the one you naturally suspect.

TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len() error assistance needed

Abstract:

The reason why you are getting this error message is because you are trying to call a method on an int type of a variable. This would work if would have called len() function on a list type of a variable. Let's examin the two cases:

Fail:

num = 10

print(len(num))

The above will produce an error similar to yours due to calling len() function on an int type of a variable;

Success:

data = [0, 4, 8, 9, 12]

print(len(data))

The above will work since you are calling a function on a list type of a variable;

html table cell width for different rows

One solution would be to divide your table into 20 columns of 5% width each, then use colspan on each real column to get the desired width, like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<html>_x000D_
<body bgcolor="#14B3D9">_x000D_
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="#ffffff">_x000D_
    <colgroup>_x000D_
        <col width="5%"><col width="5%">_x000D_
        <col width="5%"><col width="5%">_x000D_
        <col width="5%"><col width="5%">_x000D_
        <col width="5%"><col width="5%">_x000D_

Plot data in descending order as appears in data frame

You want reorder(). Here is an example with dummy data

set.seed(42)
df <- data.frame(Category = sample(LETTERS), Count = rpois(26, 6))

require("ggplot2")

p1 <- ggplot(df, aes(x = Category, y = Count)) +
         geom_bar(stat = "identity")

p2 <- ggplot(df, aes(x = reorder(Category, -Count), y = Count)) +
         geom_bar(stat = "identity")

require("gridExtra")
grid.arrange(arrangeGrob(p1, p2))

Giving:

enter image description here

Use reorder(Category, Count) to have Category ordered from low-high.

How do I get the XML root node with C#?

Root node is the DocumentElement property of XmlDocument

XmlElement root = xmlDoc.DocumentElement

If you only have the node, you can get the root node by

XmlElement root = xmlNode.OwnerDocument.DocumentElement

Structs data type in php?

A public class is one option, if you want something more encapsulated you can use an abstract/anonymous class combination. My favorite part is that autocomplete still works (for PhpStorm) for this but I don't have a public class sitting around.

<?php

final class MyParentClass
{
    /**
     * @return MyStruct[]
     */
    public function getData(): array
    {
        return array(
            $this->createMyObject("One", 1.0, new DateTime("now")),
            $this->createMyObject("Two", 2.0, new DateTime("tommorow"))
        );
    }

    private function createMyObject(string $description, float $magnitude, DateTime $timeStamp): MyStruct
    {
        return new class(func_get_args()) extends MyStruct {
            protected function __construct(array $args)
            {
                $this->description = $args[0];
                $this->magnitude = $args[1];
                $this->timeStamp = $args[2];
            }
        };
    }
}

abstract class MyStruct
{
    public string $description;
    public float $magnitude;
    public DateTime $timeStamp;
}

Lambda function in list comprehensions

This question touches a very stinking part of the "famous" and "obvious" Python syntax - what takes precedence, the lambda, or the for of list comprehension.

I don't think the purpose of the OP was to generate a list of squares from 0 to 9. If that was the case, we could give even more solutions:

squares = []
for x in range(10): squares.append(x*x)
  • this is the good ol' way of imperative syntax.

But it's not the point. The point is W(hy)TF is this ambiguous expression so counter-intuitive? And I have an idiotic case for you at the end, so don't dismiss my answer too early (I had it on a job interview).

So, the OP's comprehension returned a list of lambdas:

[(lambda x: x*x) for x in range(10)]

This is of course just 10 different copies of the squaring function, see:

>>> [lambda x: x*x for _ in range(3)]
[<function <lambda> at 0x00000000023AD438>, <function <lambda> at 0x00000000023AD4A8>, <function <lambda> at 0x00000000023AD3C8>]

Note the memory addresses of the lambdas - they are all different!

You could of course have a more "optimal" (haha) version of this expression:

>>> [lambda x: x*x] * 3
[<function <lambda> at 0x00000000023AD2E8>, <function <lambda> at 0x00000000023AD2E8>, <function <lambda> at 0x00000000023AD2E8>]

See? 3 time the same lambda.

Please note, that I used _ as the for variable. It has nothing to do with the x in the lambda (it is overshadowed lexically!). Get it?

I'm leaving out the discussion, why the syntax precedence is not so, that it all meant:

[lambda x: (x*x for x in range(10))]

which could be: [[0, 1, 4, ..., 81]], or [(0, 1, 4, ..., 81)], or which I find most logical, this would be a list of 1 element - a generator returning the values. It is just not the case, the language doesn't work this way.

BUT What, If...

What if you DON'T overshadow the for variable, AND use it in your lambdas???

Well, then crap happens. Look at this:

[lambda x: x * i for i in range(4)]

this means of course:

[(lambda x: x * i) for i in range(4)]

BUT it DOESN'T mean:

[(lambda x: x * 0), (lambda x: x * 1), ... (lambda x: x * 3)]

This is just crazy!

The lambdas in the list comprehension are a closure over the scope of this comprehension. A lexical closure, so they refer to the i via reference, and not its value when they were evaluated!

So, this expression:

[(lambda x: x * i) for i in range(4)]

IS roughly EQUIVALENT to:

[(lambda x: x * 3), (lambda x: x * 3), ... (lambda x: x * 3)]

I'm sure we could see more here using a python decompiler (by which I mean e.g. the dis module), but for Python-VM-agnostic discussion this is enough. So much for the job interview question.

Now, how to make a list of multiplier lambdas, which really multiply by consecutive integers? Well, similarly to the accepted answer, we need to break the direct tie to i by wrapping it in another lambda, which is getting called inside the list comprehension expression:

Before:

>>> a = [(lambda x: x * i) for i in (1, 2)]
>>> a[1](1)
2
>>> a[0](1)
2

After:

>>> a = [(lambda y: (lambda x: y * x))(i) for i in (1, 2)]
>>> a[1](1)
2
>>> a[0](1)
1

(I had the outer lambda variable also = i, but I decided this is the clearer solution - I introduced y so that we can all see which witch is which).

Edit 2019-08-30:

Following a suggestion by @josoler, which is also present in an answer by @sheridp - the value of the list comprehension "loop variable" can be "embedded" inside an object - the key is for it to be accessed at the right time. The section "After" above does it by wrapping it in another lambda and calling it immediately with the current value of i. Another way (a little bit easier to read - it produces no 'WAT' effect) is to store the value of i inside a partial object, and have the "inner" (original) lambda take it as an argument (passed supplied by the partial object at the time of the call), i.e.:

After 2:

>>> from functools import partial
>>> a = [partial(lambda y, x: y * x, i) for i in (1, 2)]
>>> a[0](2), a[1](2)
(2, 4)

Great, but there is still a little twist for you! Let's say we wan't to make it easier on the code reader, and pass the factor by name (as a keyword argument to partial). Let's do some renaming:

After 2.5:

>>> a = [partial(lambda coef, x: coef * x, coef=i) for i in (1, 2)]
>>> a[0](1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: <lambda>() got multiple values for argument 'coef'

WAT?

>>> a[0]()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: <lambda>() missing 1 required positional argument: 'x'

Wait... We're changing the number of arguments by 1, and going from "too many" to "too few"?

Well, it's not a real WAT, when we pass coef to partial in this way, it becomes a keyword argument, so it must come after the positional x argument, like so:

After 3:

>>> a = [partial(lambda x, coef: coef * x, coef=i) for i in (1, 2)]
>>> a[0](2), a[1](2)
(2, 4)

I would prefer the last version over the nested lambda, but to each their own...

Edit 2020-08-18:

Thanks to commenter dasWesen, I found out that this stuff is covered in the Python documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.4/faq/programming.html#why-do-lambdas-defined-in-a-loop-with-different-values-all-return-the-same-result - it deals with loops instead of list comprehensions, but the idea is the same - global or nonlocal variable access in the lambda function. There's even a solution - using default argument values (like for any function):

>>> a = [lambda x, coef=i: coef * x for i in (1, 2)]
>>> a[0](2), a[1](2)
(2, 4)

This way the coef value is bound to the value of i at the time of function definition (see James Powell's talk "Top To Down, Left To Right", which also explains why mutable default values are shunned).

Android Studio: Plugin with id 'android-library' not found

Add the below to the build.gradle project module:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }

How to extract the n-th elements from a list of tuples?

Found this as I was searching for which way is fastest to pull the second element of a 2-tuple list. Not what I wanted but ran same test as shown with a 3rd method plus test the zip method

setup = 'elements = [(1,1) for _ in range(100000)];from operator import itemgetter'
method1 = '[x[1] for x in elements]'
method2 = 'map(itemgetter(1), elements)'
method3 = 'dict(elements).values()'
method4 = 'zip(*elements)[1]'

import timeit
t = timeit.Timer(method1, setup)
print('Method 1: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method2, setup)
print('Method 2: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method3, setup)
print('Method 3: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method4, setup)
print('Method 4: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))

Method 1: 0.618785858154
Method 2: 0.711684942245
Method 3: 0.298138141632
Method 4: 1.32586884499

So over twice as fast if you have a 2 tuple pair to just convert to a dict and take the values.

open resource with relative path in Java

In Order to obtain real path to the file you can try this:

URL fileUrl = Resourceloader.class.getResource("resources/repository/SSL-Key/cert.jks");
String pathToClass = fileUrl.getPath;    

Resourceloader is classname here. "resources/repository/SSL-Key/cert.jks" is relative path to the file. If you had your guiclass in ./package1/java with rest of folder structure remaining, you would take "../resources/repository/SSL-Key/cert.jks" as relative path because of rules defining relative path.

This way you can read your file with BufferedReader. DO NOT USE THE STRING to identify the path to the file, because if you have spaces or some characters from not english alphabet in your path, you will get problems and the file will not be found.

BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
                        new InputStreamReader(fileUrl.openStream()));

Scroll RecyclerView to show selected item on top

If you are using the LinearLayoutManager or Staggered GridLayoutManager, they each have a scrollToPositionWithOffset method that takes both the position and also the offset of the start of the item from the start of the RecyclerView, which seems like it would accomplish what you need (setting the offset to 0 should align with the top).

For instance:

//Scroll item 2 to 20 pixels from the top
linearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(2, 20);

How to select and change value of table cell with jQuery?

I wanted to change the column value in a specific row. Thanks to above answers and after some serching able to come up with below,

var dataTable = $("#yourtableid");
var rowNumber = 0;  
var columnNumber= 2;   
dataTable[0].rows[rowNumber].cells[columnNumber].innerHTML = 'New Content';

How do you select a particular option in a SELECT element in jQuery?

Try this

you just use select field id instead of #id (ie.#select_name)

instead of option value use your select option value

 <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
$("#id option[value='option value']").attr('selected',true);
   });
    </script>

How to determine if a number is positive or negative?

This solution uses no conditional operators, but relies on catching two excpetions.

A division error equates to the number originally being "negative". Alternatively, the number will eventually fall off the planet and throw a StackOverFlow exception if it is positive.

public static boolean isPositive( f)
       {
           int x;
           try {
               x = 1/((int)f + 1);
               return isPositive(x+1);
           } catch (StackOverFlow Error e) {
               return true;

           } catch (Zero Division Error e) {
               return false;
           }

How to go back to previous page if back button is pressed in WebView?

The first answer by FoamyGuy is correct but I have some additions; low reputations cannot allow me to do comments. If for some reasons your page fails to load, ensure that you set a flag to take note of the failure and then check it on the onBackPressed override. Otherwise your canGoBack() will be forever executed without heading to the actual back activity if it was there:

//flag with class wide access 
public boolean ploadFailFlag = false;

//your error handling override
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest req, WebResourceError rerr) {
    onReceivedError(view, rerr.getErrorCode(), rerr.getDescription().toString(), req.getUrl().toString());
    ploadFailFlag = true;       //note this change 
    .....
    .....
}

//finally to the answer to this question:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if(checkinWebView.canGoBack()){
        //if page load fails, go back for web view will not go back - no page to go to - yet overriding the super 
        if(ploadFailFlag){
            super.onBackPressed();
        }else {
            checkinWebView.goBack();
        }
    }else {
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "super:", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

How do I parse a string with a decimal point to a double?

Double.Parse("3,5".Replace(',', '.'), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

Replace the comma with a point before parsing. Useful in countries with a comma as decimal separator. Think about limiting user input (if necessary) to one comma or point.

convert string to specific datetime format?

No need to apply anything. Just add this code at the end of variable to which date is assigned. For example

   @todaydate = "2011-05-19 10:30:14"
   @todaytime.to_time.strftime('%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y')

You will get proper format as you like. You can check this at Rails Console

Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.4)
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :001 > todaytime = "2011-05-19 10:30:14"
 => "2011-05-19 10:30:14" 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :002 > todaytime
 => "2011-05-19 10:30:14" 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :003 > todaytime.to_time
 => 2011-05-19 10:30:14 UTC
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :008 > todaytime.to_time.strftime('%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y')
 => "Thu May 19 10:30:14 UTC 2011"

Try 'date_format' gem to show date in different format.

How should I escape commas and speech marks in CSV files so they work in Excel?

Single quotes work fine too, even without escaping the double quotes, at least in Excel 2016:

'text with spaces, and a comma','more text with spaces','spaces and "quoted text" and more spaces','nospaces','NOSPACES1234'

Excel will put that in 5 columns (if you choose the single quote as "Text qualifier" in the "Text to columns" wizard)

Visual Studio Post Build Event - Copy to Relative Directory Location

Would it not make sense to use msbuild directly? If you are doing this with every build, then you can add a msbuild task at the end? If you would just like to see if you can’t find another macro value that is not showed on the Visual Studio IDE, you could switch on the msbuild options to diagnostic and that will show you all of the variables that you could use, as well as their current value.

To switch this on in visual studio, go to Tools/Options then scroll down the tree view to the section called Projects and Solutions, expand that and click on Build and Run, at the right their is a drop down that specify the build output verbosity, setting that to diagnostic, will show you what other macro values you could use.

Because I don’t quite know to what level you would like to go, and how complex you want your build to be, this might give you some idea. I have recently been doing build scripts, that even execute SQL code as part of the build. If you would like some more help or even some sample build scripts, let me know, but if it is just a small process you want to run at the end of the build, the perhaps going the full msbuild script is a bit of over kill.

How do you handle multiple submit buttons in ASP.NET MVC Framework?

Give your submit buttons a name, and then inspect the submitted value in your controller method:

<% Html.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController", FormMethod.Post); %>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Send" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Cancel" />
<% Html.EndForm(); %>

posting to

public class MyController : Controller {
    public ActionResult MyAction(string submitButton) {
        switch(submitButton) {
            case "Send":
                // delegate sending to another controller action
                return(Send());
            case "Cancel":
                // call another action to perform the cancellation
                return(Cancel());
            default:
                // If they've submitted the form without a submitButton, 
                // just return the view again.
                return(View());
        }
    }

    private ActionResult Cancel() {
        // process the cancellation request here.
        return(View("Cancelled"));
    }

    private ActionResult Send() {
        // perform the actual send operation here.
        return(View("SendConfirmed"));
    }

}

EDIT:

To extend this approach to work with localized sites, isolate your messages somewhere else (e.g. compiling a resource file to a strongly-typed resource class)

Then modify the code so it works like:

<% Html.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController", FormMethod.Post); %>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="<%= Html.Encode(Resources.Messages.Send)%>" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="<%=Html.Encode(Resources.Messages.Cancel)%>" />
<% Html.EndForm(); %>

and your controller should look like this:

// Note that the localized resources aren't constants, so 
// we can't use a switch statement.

if (submitButton == Resources.Messages.Send) { 
    // delegate sending to another controller action
    return(Send());

} else if (submitButton == Resources.Messages.Cancel) {
     // call another action to perform the cancellation
     return(Cancel());
}

Want custom title / image / description in facebook share link from a flash app

I had this same problem a week ago.

First of all I noticed your URL has an ampersand preceding the parameter string, but it probably needs to have a question mark instead to begin the parameter string, followed by an ampersand between each additional parameter.

Now, you do need to escape your URL but also double-escape the URL parameters (title or other content you need to provide content in the Share) you are passing to the URL, as follows:

var myParams = 't=' + escape('Some title here.') + '&id=' + escape('some content ID or any other value I want to load');
var fooBar = 'http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=' + escape('http://foobar.com/superDuperSharingPage.php?' + myParams);

Now, you need to create the above-linked superDuperSharingPage.php, which should provide the dynamic title, description, and image content you desire. Something like this should suffice:

<?php
    // get our URL query parameters
    $title = $_GET['t'];
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    // maybe we want to load some content with the id I'll pretend we loaded a
    // description from some database in the sky which is magically arranged thusly:
    $desciption = $databaseInTheSky[$id]['description'];
?>

Mocking Extension Methods with Moq

You can easily mock an extension method with JustMock. The API is the same as mocking normal method. Consider the following

public static string Echo(this Foo foo, string strValue) 
{ 
    return strValue; 
}

To arrange and verify this method use the following:

string expected = "World";

var foo = new Foo();
Mock.Arrange(() => foo.Echo(Arg.IsAny<string>())).Returns(expected);

string result = foo.Echo("Hello");

Assert.AreEqual(expected, result);

Here is also a link to the documentation: Extension Methods Mocking

Time complexity of accessing a Python dict

See Time Complexity. The python dict is a hashmap, its worst case is therefore O(n) if the hash function is bad and results in a lot of collisions. However that is a very rare case where every item added has the same hash and so is added to the same chain which for a major Python implementation would be extremely unlikely. The average time complexity is of course O(1).

The best method would be to check and take a look at the hashs of the objects you are using. The CPython Dict uses int PyObject_Hash (PyObject *o) which is the equivalent of hash(o).

After a quick check, I have not yet managed to find two tuples that hash to the same value, which would indicate that the lookup is O(1)

l = []
for x in range(0, 50):
    for y in range(0, 50):
        if hash((x,y)) in l:
            print "Fail: ", (x,y)
        l.append(hash((x,y)))
print "Test Finished"

How do I use sudo to redirect output to a location I don't have permission to write to?

Someone here has just suggested sudoing tee:

sudo ls -hal /root/ | sudo tee /root/test.out > /dev/null

This could also be used to redirect any command, to a directory that you do not have access to. It works because the tee program is effectively an "echo to a file" program, and the redirect to /dev/null is to stop it also outputting to the screen to keep it the same as the original contrived example above.

How to compile C program on command line using MinGW?

How does internationalization work in JavaScript?

Localization support in legacy browsers is poor. Originally, this was due to phrases in the ECMAScript language spec that look like this:

Number.prototype.toLocaleString()
Produces a string value that represents the value of the Number formatted according to the conventions of the host environment’s current locale. This function is implementation-dependent, and it is permissible, but not encouraged, for it to return the same thing as toString.

Every localization method defined in the spec is defined as "implementation-dependent", which results in a lot of inconsistencies. In this instance, Chrome Opera and Safari would return the same thing as .toString(). Firefox and IE will return locale formatted strings, and IE even includes a thousand separator (perfect for currency strings). Chrome was recently updated to return a thousands-separated string, though with no fixed decimal.

For modern environments, the ECMAScript Internationalization API spec, a new standard that complements the ECMAScript Language spec, provides much better support for string comparison, number formatting, and the date and time formatting; it also fixes the corresponding functions in the Language Spec. An introduction can be found here. Implementations are available in:

  • Chrome 24
  • Firefox 29
  • Internet Explorer 11
  • Opera 15

There is also a compatibility implementation, Intl.js, which will provide the API in environments where it doesn't already exist.

Determining the user's preferred language remains a problem since there's no specification for obtaining the current language. Each browser implements a method to obtain a language string, but this could be based on the user's operating system language or just the language of the browser:

// navigator.userLanguage for IE, navigator.language for others
var lang = navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage;

A good workaround for this is to dump the Accept-Language header from the server to the client. If formatted as a JavaScript, it can be passed to the Internationalization API constructors, which will automatically pick the best (or first-supported) locale.

In short, you have to put in a lot of the work yourself, or use a framework/library, because you cannot rely on the browser to do it for you.

How to break out or exit a method in Java?

Use the return keyword to exit from a method.

public void someMethod() {
    //... a bunch of code ...
    if (someCondition()) {
        return;
    }
    //... otherwise do the following...
}

Pls note: We may use break statements which are used to break/exit only from a loop, and not the entire program.

To exit from program: System.exit() Method:
System.exit has status code, which tells about the termination, such as:
exit(0) : Indicates successful termination.
exit(1) or exit(-1) or any non-zero value – indicates unsuccessful termination.

What's the most appropriate HTTP status code for an "item not found" error page

A 404 return code actually means 'resource not found', and applies to any entity for which a request was made but not satisfied. So it works equally-well for pages, subsections of pages, and any item that exists on the page which has a specific request to be rendered.

So 404 is the right code to use in this scenario. Note that it doesn't apply to 'server not found', which is a different situation in which a request was issued but not answered at all, as opposed to answered but without the resource requested.

Get values from a listbox on a sheet

The accepted answer doesn't cut it because if a user de-selects a row the list is not updated accordingly.

Here is what I suggest instead:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    Dim lItem As Long

    For lItem = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1
        If ListBox1.Selected(lItem) = True Then
            MsgBox(ListBox1.List(lItem))
        End If
    Next
End Sub

WHERE IS NULL, IS NOT NULL or NO WHERE clause depending on SQL Server parameter value

Here is how you can solve this using a single WHERE clause:

WHERE (@myParm = value1 AND MyColumn IS NULL)
OR  (@myParm = value2 AND MyColumn IS NOT NULL)
OR  (@myParm = value3)

A naïve usage of the CASE statement does not work, by this I mean the following:

SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM MyTable
WHERE CASE @myParam
    WHEN value1 THEN MyColumn IS NULL
    WHEN value2 THEN MyColumn IS NOT NULL
    WHEN value3 THEN TRUE
END

It is possible to solve this using a case statement, see onedaywhen's answer

How to npm install to a specified directory?

In the documentation it's stated: Use the prefix option together with the global option:

The prefix config defaults to the location where node is installed. On most systems, this is /usr/local. On windows, this is the exact location of the node.exe binary. On Unix systems, it's one level up, since node is typically installed at {prefix}/bin/node rather than {prefix}/node.exe.

When the global flag is set, npm installs things into this prefix. When it is not set, it uses the root of the current package, or the current working directory if not in a package already.

(Emphasis by them)

So in your root directory you could install with

npm install --prefix <path/to/prefix_folder> -g

and it will install the node_modules folder into the folder

<path/to/prefix_folder>/lib/node_modules

How to set conditional breakpoints in Visual Studio?

MySQL: Delete all rows older than 10 minutes

If time_created is a unix timestamp (int), you should be able to use something like this:

DELETE FROM locks WHERE time_created < (UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 600);

(600 seconds = 10 minutes - obviously)

Otherwise (if time_created is mysql timestamp), you could try this:

DELETE FROM locks WHERE time_created < (NOW() - INTERVAL 10 MINUTE)

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

If anyone is running into this issue with Typescript, the key to solving it for me was changing

to

    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "commonjs",

In my tsconfig.json. I was under the impression "esnext" was the "best", but that was just a mistake.

Is ncurses available for windows?

Such a thing probably does not exist "as-is". It doesn't really exist on Linux or other UNIX-like operating systems either though.

ncurses is only a library that helps you manage interactions with the underlying terminal environment. But it doesn't provide a terminal emulator itself.

The thing that actually displays stuff on the screen (which in your requirement is listed as "native resizable win32 windows") is usually called a Terminal Emulator. If you don't like the one that comes with Windows (you aren't alone; no person on Earth does) there are a few alternatives. There is Console, which in my experience works sometimes and appears to just wrap an underlying Windows terminal emulator (I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing, since there is a menu option to actually get access to that underlying terminal emulator, and sure enough an old crusty Windows/DOS box appears which mirrors everything in the Console window).

A better option

Another option, which may be more appealing is puttycyg. It hooks in to Putty (which, coming from a Linux background, is pretty close to what I'm used to, and free) but actually accesses an underlying cygwin instead of the Windows command interpreter (CMD.EXE). So you get all the benefits of Putty's awesome terminal emulator, as well as nice ncurses (and many other) libraries provided by cygwin. Add a couple command line arguments to the Shortcut that launches Putty (or the Batch file) and your app can be automatically launched without going through Putty's UI.

Define the selected option with the old input in Laravel / Blade

Okay, my 2 cents, using the default value of Laravel's old() function.

<select name="type">
    @foreach($options as $key => $text)
        <option @if((int) old('type', $selectedOption) === $key) selected @endif value="{{ $key }}">{{ $text }}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>

Java String array: is there a size of method?

Also, it's probably useful to note that if you have a multiple dimensional Array, you can get the respective dimension just by appending a '[0]' to the array you are querying until you arrive at the appropriate axis/tuple/dimension.

This is probably better explained with the following code:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        String[][] moo = new String[5][12];

        System.out.println(moo.length); //Prints the size of the First Dimension in the array
        System.out.println(moo[0].length);//Prints the size of the Second Dimension in the array
    }

}

Which produces the output:

5
12

Python subprocess/Popen with a modified environment

That depends on what the issue is. If it's to clone and modify the environment one solution could be:

subprocess.Popen(my_command, env=dict(os.environ, PATH="path"))

But that somewhat depends on that the replaced variables are valid python identifiers, which they most often are (how often do you run into environment variable names that are not alphanumeric+underscore or variables that starts with a number?).

Otherwise you'll could write something like:

subprocess.Popen(my_command, env=dict(os.environ, 
                                      **{"Not valid python name":"value"}))

In the very odd case (how often do you use control codes or non-ascii characters in environment variable names?) that the keys of the environment are bytes you can't (on python3) even use that construct.

As you can see the techniques (especially the first) used here benefits on the keys of the environment normally is valid python identifiers, and also known in advance (at coding time), the second approach has issues. In cases where that isn't the case you should probably look for another approach.

Android Studio rendering problems

I was able to fix this in Android Studio 0.2.0 by changing API from API 18: Android 4.3 to API 17: Android 4.2.2

This is under the Android icon menu in the top right of the design window.

This was a solution from http://www.hankcs.com/program/mobiledev/idea-this-version-of-the-rendering-library-is-more-recent-than-your-version-of-intellij-idea-please-update-intellij-idea.html.This required a Google translation into English since it was in another language.

Disabled href tag

There is no disabled attribute for hyperlinks. If you don't want something to be linked then you'll need to remove the <a> tag altogether.

Alternatively you can remove its href attribute - though this has other UX and Accessibility issues as noted in the comments below so is not recommended.

How to find first element of array matching a boolean condition in JavaScript?

I have got inspiration from multiple sources on the internet to derive into the solution below. Wanted to take into account both some default value and to provide a way to compare each entry for a generic approach which this solves.

Usage: (giving value "Second")

var defaultItemValue = { id: -1, name: "Undefined" };
var containers: Container[] = [{ id: 1, name: "First" }, { id: 2, name: "Second" }];
GetContainer(2).name;

Implementation:

class Container {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

public GetContainer(containerId: number): Container {
  var comparator = (item: Container): boolean => {
      return item.id == containerId;
    };
    return this.Get<Container>(this.containers, comparator, this.defaultItemValue);
  }

private Get<T>(array: T[], comparator: (item: T) => boolean, defaultValue: T): T {
  var found: T = null;
  array.some(function(element, index) {
    if (comparator(element)) {
      found = element;
      return true;
    }
  });

  if (!found) {
    found = defaultValue;
  }

  return found;
}

Python Regex - How to Get Positions and Values of Matches

For Python 3.x

from re import finditer

How to avoid the "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting warning"

If you have a standard code signing certificate, some time will be needed for your application to build trust. Microsoft affirms that an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate allows us to skip this period of trust-building. According to Microsoft, extended validation certificates allow the developer to immediately establish a reputation with SmartScreen. Otherwise, the users will see a warning like "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.", with the two buttons: "Run anyway" and "Don't run".

Another Microsoft resource states the following (quote): "Although not required, programs signed by an EV code signing certificate can immediately establish a reputation with SmartScreen reputation services even if no prior reputation exists for that file or publisher. EV code signing certificates also have a unique identifier which makes it easier to maintain reputation across certificate renewals."

My experience is as follows. Since 2005, we have been using regular (non-EV) code signing certificates to sign .MSI, .EXE and .DLL files with time stamps, and there has never been a problem with SmartScreen until 2018, when there was just one case when it took 3 days for a beta version of our application to build trust since we have released it to beta testers, and it was in the middle of certificate validity period. I don't know what SmartScreen might not like in that specific version of our application, but there have been no SmartScreen complaints since then. Therefore, if your certificate is a non-EV, it is a signed application (such as an .MSI file) that will build trust over time, not a certificate. For example, a certificate can be issued a few months ago and used to sign many files, but for each signed file you publish, it may take a few days for SmartScreen to stop complaining about the file after publishing, as was in our case in 2018.

As a conclusion, to avoid the warning completely, i.e. prevent it from happening even suddenly, you need an Extended Validation (EV) code signing certificate.

I wrote generic version of index sort.

template <class RAIter, class Compare>
void argsort(RAIter iterBegin, RAIter iterEnd, Compare comp, 
    std::vector<size_t>& indexes) {

    std::vector< std::pair<size_t,RAIter> > pv ;
    pv.reserve(iterEnd - iterBegin) ;

    RAIter iter ;
    size_t k ;
    for (iter = iterBegin, k = 0 ; iter != iterEnd ; iter++, k++) {
        pv.push_back( std::pair<int,RAIter>(k,iter) ) ;
    }

    std::sort(pv.begin(), pv.end(), 
        [&comp](const std::pair<size_t,RAIter>& a, const std::pair<size_t,RAIter>& b) -> bool 
        { return comp(*a.second, *b.second) ; }) ;

    indexes.resize(pv.size()) ;
    std::transform(pv.begin(), pv.end(), indexes.begin(), 
        [](const std::pair<size_t,RAIter>& a) -> size_t { return a.first ; }) ;
}

Usage is the same as that of std::sort except for an index container to receive sorted indexes. testing:

int a[] = { 3, 1, 0, 4 } ;
std::vector<size_t> indexes ;
argsort(a, a + sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]), std::less<int>(), indexes) ;
for (size_t i : indexes) printf("%d\n", int(i)) ;

you should get 2 1 0 3. for the compilers without c++0x support, replace the lamba expression as a class template:

template <class RAIter, class Compare> 
class PairComp {
public:
  Compare comp ;
  PairComp(Compare comp_) : comp(comp_) {}
  bool operator() (const std::pair<size_t,RAIter>& a, 
    const std::pair<size_t,RAIter>& b) const { return comp(*a.second, *b.second) ; }        
} ;

and rewrite std::sort as

std::sort(pv.begin(), pv.end(), PairComp(comp)()) ;

Make div 100% Width of Browser Window

Set the margin for body at 0 and that will fix it.

body {
   margin: 0;
}

Create a sample login page using servlet and JSP?

You're comparing the message with the empty string using ==.

First, your comparison is wrong because the message will be null (and not the empty string).

Second, it's wrong because Objects must be compared with equals() and not with ==.

Third, it's wrong because you should avoid scriptlets in JSP, and use the JSP EL, the JSTL, and other custom tags instead:

<c:id test="${!empty message}">
    <c:out value="${message}"/>
</c:if>

submitting a form when a checkbox is checked

You can submit form by just clicking on checkbox by simple method in JavaScript. Inside form tag or Input attribute add following attribute:

    onchange="this.form.submit()"

Example:

<form>
      <div>
           <input type="checkbox">
      </div>
</form>

java.util.regex - importance of Pattern.compile()?

Pattern.compile() allow to reuse a regex multiple times (it is threadsafe). The performance benefit can be quite significant.

I did a quick benchmark:

    @Test
    public void recompile() {
        var before = Instant.now();
        for (int i = 0; i < 1_000_000; i++) {
            Pattern.compile("ab").matcher("abcde").matches();
        }
        System.out.println("recompile " + Duration.between(before, Instant.now()));
    }

    @Test
    public void compileOnce() {
        var pattern = Pattern.compile("ab");
        var before = Instant.now();
        for (int i = 0; i < 1_000_000; i++) {
            pattern.matcher("abcde").matches();
        }
        System.out.println("compile once " + Duration.between(before, Instant.now()));
    }

compileOnce was between 3x and 4x faster. I guess it highly depends on the regex itself but for a regex that is often used, I go for a static Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(...)

Setting Elastic search limit to "unlimited"

From the docs, "Note that from + size can not be more than the index.max_result_window index setting which defaults to 10,000". So my admittedly very ad-hoc solution is to just pass size: 10000 or 10,000 minus from if I use the from argument.

Note that following Matt's comment below, the proper way to do this if you have a larger amount of documents is to use the scroll api. I have used this successfully, but only with the python interface.

How do I get extra data from intent on Android?

You can get any type of extra data from intent, no matter if it's an object or string or any type of data.

Bundle extra = getIntent().getExtras();

if (extra != null){
    String str1 = (String) extra.get("obj"); // get a object

    String str2 =  extra.getString("string"); //get a string
}

and the Shortest solution is:

Boolean isGranted = getIntent().getBooleanExtra("tag", false);

How to create a file with a given size in Linux?

There are lots of answers, but none explained nicely what else can be done. Looking into man pages for dd, it is possible to better specify the size of a file.

This is going to create /tmp/zero_big_data_file.bin filled with zeros, that has size of 20 megabytes :

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero_big_data_file.bin  bs=1M count=20

This is going to create /tmp/zero_1000bytes_data_file.bin filled with zeros, that has size of 1000 bytes :

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero_1000bytes_data_file.bin  bs=1kB count=1

or

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero_1000bytes_data_file.bin  bs=1000 count=1

  • In all examples, bs is block size, and count is number of blocks
  • BLOCKS and BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes: c =1, w =2, b =512, kB =1000, K =1024, MB =1000*1000, M =1024*1024, xM =M GB =1000*1000*1000, G =1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y.

jQuery-UI datepicker default date

Try passing in a Date object instead. I can't see why it doesn't work in the format you have entered:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {               
    $("#birthdate" ).datepicker({
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        yearRange: '1920:2010',
        dateFormat : 'dd-mm-yy',
        defaultDate: new Date(1985, 00, 01)
    });
});
</script>

http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-defaultDate

Specify either an actual date via a Date object or as a string in the current dateFormat, or a number of days from today (e.g. +7) or a string of values and periods ('y' for years, 'm' for months, 'w' for weeks, 'd' for days, e.g. '+1m +7d'), or null for today.

Automated way to convert XML files to SQL database?

There is a project on CodeProject that makes it simple to convert an XML file to SQL Script. It uses XSLT. You could probably modify it to generate the DDL too.

And See this question too : Generating SQL using XML and XSLT

PHP: How to get current time in hour:minute:second?

You can combine both in the same date function call

date("d-m-Y H:i:s");  

How to use if statements in underscore.js templates?

This should do the trick:

<% if (typeof(date) !== "undefined") { %>
    <span class="date"><%= date %></span>
<% } %>

Remember that in underscore.js templates if and for are just standard javascript syntax wrapped in <% %> tags.

JavaScript null check

I think, testing variables for values you do not expect is not a good idea in general. Because the test as your you can consider as writing a blacklist of forbidden values. But what if you forget to list all the forbidden values? Someone, even you, can crack your code with passing an unexpected value. So a more appropriate approach is something like whitelisting - testing variables only for the expected values, not unexpected. For example, if you expect the data value to be a string, instead of this:

function (data) {
  if (data != null && data !== undefined) {
    // some code here
    // but what if data === false?
    // or data === '' - empty string?
  }
}

do something like this:

function (data) {
  if (typeof data === 'string' && data.length) {
    // consume string here, it is here for sure
    // cleaner, it is obvious what type you expect
    // safer, less error prone due to implicit coercion
  } 
}

How to select ALL children (in any level) from a parent in jQuery?

Use jQuery.find() to find children more than one level deep.

The .find() and .children() methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level down the DOM tree.

$('#google_translate_element').find('*').unbind('click');

You need the '*' in find():

Unlike in the rest of the tree traversal methods, the selector expression is required in a call to .find(). If we need to retrieve all of the descendant elements, we can pass in the universal selector '*' to accomplish this.

Why is sed not recognizing \t as a tab?

Not all versions of sed understand \t. Just insert a literal tab instead (press Ctrl-V then Tab).

Adding an item to an associative array

For anyone that also need to add into 2d associative array, you can also use answer given above, and use the code like this

 $data[$category]["test"] = $question

you can then call it (to test out the result by:

echo $data[$category]["test"];

which should print $question
