Escape a string in SQL Server so that it is safe to use in LIKE expression

Had a similar problem (using NHibernate, so the ESCAPE keyword would have been very difficult) and solved it using the bracket characters. So your sample would become

WHERE ... LIKE '%aa[%]bb%'

If you need proof:

create table test (field nvarchar(100))
go
insert test values ('abcdef%hijklm')
insert test values ('abcdefghijklm')
go
select * from test where field like 'abcdef[%]hijklm'
go

Python executable not finding libpython shared library

Try the following:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/python

Replace /usr/local/lib with the folder where you have installed libpython2.7.so.1.0 if it is not in /usr/local/lib.

If this works and you want to make the changes permanent, you have two options:

  1. Add export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib to your .profile in your home directory (this works only if you are using a shell which loads this file when a new shell instance is started). This setting will affect your user only.

  2. Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. This is a system-wide setting of course.

End of File (EOF) in C

EOF indicates "end of file". A newline (which is what happens when you press enter) isn't the end of a file, it's the end of a line, so a newline doesn't terminate this loop.

The code isn't wrong[*], it just doesn't do what you seem to expect. It reads to the end of the input, but you seem to want to read only to the end of a line.

The value of EOF is -1 because it has to be different from any return value from getchar that is an actual character. So getchar returns any character value as an unsigned char, converted to int, which will therefore be non-negative.

If you're typing at the terminal and you want to provoke an end-of-file, use CTRL-D (unix-style systems) or CTRL-Z (Windows). Then after all the input has been read, getchar() will return EOF, and hence getchar() != EOF will be false, and the loop will terminate.

[*] well, it has undefined behavior if the input is more than LONG_MAX characters due to integer overflow, but we can probably forgive that in a simple example.

Laravel Eloquent groupBy() AND also return count of each group

Works that way as well, a bit more tidy. getQuery() just returns the underlying builder, which already contains the table reference.

$browser_total_raw = DB::raw('count(*) as total');
$user_info = Usermeta::getQuery()
                     ->select('browser', $browser_total_raw)
                     ->groupBy('browser')
                     ->pluck('total','browser');

Trigger an event on `click` and `enter`

Use keypress event on usersSearch textbox and look for Enter button. If enter button is pressed then trigger the search button click event which will do the rest of work. Try this.

$('document').ready(function(){
    $('#searchButton').click(function(){
        var search = $('#usersSearch').val();
        $.post('../searchusers.php',{search: search},function(response){
            $('#userSearchResultsTable').html(response);
        });
    })
    $('#usersSearch').keypress(function(e){
        if(e.which == 13){//Enter key pressed
            $('#searchButton').click();//Trigger search button click event
        }
    });

});

Demo

Mongodb: failed to connect to server on first connect

To connect to mongodb with mongoose, you can use :

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/users_test');

or

mongoose.connect('localhost/users_test');

or

mongoose.connect('localhost','users_test');

But not mongoose.connect('mongodb:localhost/users_test');, it doesnt match the right hostname (mongodb instead of localhost)

Passing arrays as url parameter

This is another way of solving this problem.

$data = array(
              1,
              4,
             'a' => 'b',
             'c' => 'd'
              );
$query = http_build_query(array('aParam' => $data));

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

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

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

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

How to add url parameter to the current url?

function currentUrl() {
    $protocol = strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']),'https') === FALSE ? 'http' : 'https';
    $host     = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
    $script   = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
    $params   = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

    return $protocol . '://' . $host . $script . '?' . $params;
}

Then add your value with something like;

echo currentUrl().'&value=myVal';

How can I divide two integers stored in variables in Python?

Content is not allowed in Prolog SAXParserException

Check the XML. It is not a valid xml.

Prolog is the first line with xml version info. It ok not to include it in your xml.

This error is thrown when the parser reads an invalid tag at the start of the document. Normally where the prolog resides.

e.g.

  1. Root/><document>
  2. Root<document>

How to install plugin for Eclipse from .zip

My .zip file was formatted correctly (I think) but it wasn't working. Even unchecking "Group items by category" didn't work

To install it I did so:

  • unzip the .zip archive
  • Help -> Install New Software...
  • Add... -> Archive...
  • I selected the "content.jar" file

At this point Eclipse read the plugin correctly, I went ahead, accepted the conditions and then asked me to restart the IDE.

Overcoming "Display forbidden by X-Frame-Options"

<form target="_parent" ... />

Using Kevin Vella's idea, I tried using the above on the form element made by PayPal's button generator. Worked for me so that Paypal does not open in a new browser window/tab.

Update

Here's an example:

Generating a button as of today (01-19-2021), PayPal automatically includes target="_top" on the form element, but if that doesn't work for your context, try a different target value. I suggest _parent -- at least that worked when I was using this PayPal button.

See Form Target Values for more info.

How to add a TextView to LinearLayout in Android

In Kotlin you can add Textview as follows.

 val textView = TextView(activity).apply {
            layoutParams = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
            ).apply {
                setMargins(0, 20, 0, 0)
                setPadding(10, 10, 0, 10)
            }
            text = "SOME TEXT"
            setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.colorPrimary))
            setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.colorPrimaryDark))
            textSize = 16.0f
            typeface = Typeface.defaultFromStyle(Typeface.BOLD)
        }
 linearLayoutContainer.addView(textView)

UTC Date/Time String to Timezone

PHP's DateTime object is pretty flexible.

Since the user asked for more than one timezone option, then you can make it generic.

Generic Function

function convertDateFromTimezone($date,$timezone,$timezone_to,$format){
 $date = new DateTime($date,new DateTimeZone($timezone));
 $date->setTimezone( new DateTimeZone($timezone_to) );
 return $date->format($format);
}

Usage:

echo  convertDateFromTimezone('2011-04-21 13:14','UTC','America/New_York','Y-m-d H:i:s');

Output:

2011-04-21 09:14:00

Java: Literal percent sign in printf statement

The percent sign is escaped using a percent sign:

System.out.printf("%s\t%s\t%1.2f%%\t%1.2f%%\n",ID,pattern,support,confidence);

The complete syntax can be accessed in java docs. This particular information is in the section Conversions of the first link.

The reason the compiler is generating an error is that only a limited amount of characters may follow a backslash. % is not a valid character.

How do I draw a shadow under a UIView?

In your current code, you save the GState of the current context, configure it to draw a shadow .. and the restore it to what it was before you configured it to draw a shadow. Then, finally, you invoke the superclass's implementation of drawRect: .

Any drawing that should be affected by the shadow setting needs to happen after

CGContextSetShadow(currentContext, CGSizeMake(-15, 20), 5);

but before

CGContextRestoreGState(currentContext);

So if you want the superclass's drawRect: to be 'wrapped' in a shadow, then how about if you rearrange your code like this?

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CGContextRef currentContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextSaveGState(currentContext);
    CGContextSetShadow(currentContext, CGSizeMake(-15, 20), 5);
    [super drawRect: rect];
    CGContextRestoreGState(currentContext);
}

How to pass values arguments to modal.show() function in Bootstrap

});

How Exactly Does @param Work - Java

It is basically a comment. As we know, a number of people working on the same project must have knowledge about the code changes. We are making some notes in the program about the parameters.

How can I solve "Non-static method xxx:xxx() should not be called statically in PHP 5.4?

I don't suggest you just hidding the stricts errors on your project. Intead, you should turn your method to static or try to creat a new instance of the object:

$var = new YourClass();
$var->method();

You can also use the new way to do the same since PHP 5.4:

(new YourClass)->method();

I hope it helps you!

How to include duplicate keys in HashMap?

Use Map<Integer, List<String>>:

Map<Integer, List<String>> map = new LinkedHashMap< Integer, List<String>>();

map.put(-1505711364, new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("4")));
map.put(294357273, new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("15", "71")));
//...

To add a new key/value pair in this map:

public void add(Integer key, String newValue) {
    List<String> currentValue = map.get(key);
    if (currentValue == null) {
        currentValue = new ArrayList<String>();
        map.put(key, currentValue);
    }
    currentValue.add(newValue);
}

Best practice for using assert?

Is there a performance issue?

  • Please remember to "make it work first before you make it work fast".
    Very few percent of any program are usually relevant for its speed. You can always kick out or simplify an assert if it ever proves to be a performance problem -- and most of them never will.

  • Be pragmatic:
    Assume you have a method that processes a non-empty list of tuples and the program logic will break if those tuples are not immutable. You should write:

    def mymethod(listOfTuples):
        assert(all(type(tp)==tuple for tp in listOfTuples))
    

    This is probably fine if your lists tend to be ten entries long, but it can become a problem if they have a million entries. But rather than discarding this valuable check entirely you could simply downgrade it to

    def mymethod(listOfTuples):
        assert(type(listOfTuples[0])==tuple)  # in fact _all_ must be tuples!
    

    which is cheap but will likely catch most of the actual program errors anyway.

How to differ sessions in browser-tabs?

I'll be honest here. . .everything above may or may not be true, but it all seems WAY too complicated, or doesn't address knowing what tab is being used server side.

Sometimes we need to apply Occam's razor.

Here's the Occam's approach: (no, I'm not Occam, he died in 1347)

1) assign a browser unique id to your page on load. . . if and only if the window doesn't have an id yet (so use a prefix and a detection)

2) on every page you have (use a global file or something) simply put code in place to detect the focus event and/or mouseover event. (I'll use jquery for this part, for ease of code writing)

3) in your focus (and/or mouseover) function, set a cookie with the window.name in it

4) read that cookie value from your server side when you need to read/write tab specific data.

Client side:

//Events 
$(window).ready(function() {generateWindowID()});
$(window).focus(function() {setAppId()});
$(window).mouseover(function() {setAppId()});


function generateWindowID()
{
    //first see if the name is already set, if not, set it.
    if (se_appframe().name.indexOf("SEAppId") == -1){
            "window.name = 'SEAppId' + (new Date()).getTime()
    }
    setAppId()
}

function setAppId()
{
    //generate the cookie
    strCookie = 'seAppId=' + se_appframe().name + ';';
    strCookie += ' path=/';

    if (window.location.protocol.toLowerCase() == 'https:'){
        strCookie += ' secure;';
    }

    document.cookie = strCookie;
}

server side (C# - for example purposes)

//variable name 
string varname = "";
HttpCookie aCookie = Request.Cookies["seAppId"];
if(aCookie != null) {
     varname  = Request.Cookies["seAppId"].Value + "_";
}
varname += "_mySessionVariable";

//write session data 
Session[varname] = "ABC123";

//readsession data 
String myVariable = Session[varname];

Done.

Check if a string is null or empty in XSLT

I actually found it better just testing for string length since many times the field is not null, just empty

<xsl:when test="string-length(field-you-want-to-test)<1">

How does ApplicationContextAware work in Spring?

Interface to be implemented by any object that wishes to be notified of the ApplicationContext that it runs in.

above is excerpted from the Spring doc website https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/context/ApplicationContextAware.html.

So, it seemed to be invoked when Spring container has started, if you want to do something at that time.

It just has one method to set the context, so you will get the context and do something to sth now already in context I think.

WPF Label Foreground Color

The title "WPF Label Foreground Color" is very simple (exactly what I was looking for) but the OP's code is so cluttered it's easy to miss how simple it can be to set text foreground color on two different labels:

<StackPanel>
    <Label Foreground="Red">Red text</Label>
    <Label Foreground="Blue">Blue text</Label>
</StackPanel>

In summary, No, there was nothing wrong with your snippet.

Error in contrasts when defining a linear model in R

From my experience ten minutes ago this situation can happen where there are more than one category but with a lot of NAs. Taking the Kaggle Houseprice Dataset as example, if you loaded data and run a simple regression,

train.df = read.csv('train.csv')
lm1 = lm(SalePrice ~ ., data = train.df)

you will get same error. I also tried testing the number of levels of each factor, but none of them says it has less than 2 levels.

cols = colnames(train.df)
for (col in cols){
  if(is.factor(train.df[[col]])){
    cat(col, ' has ', length(levels(train.df[[col]])), '\n')
  }
}

So after a long time I used summary(train.df) to see details of each col, and removed some, and it finally worked:

train.df = subset(train.df, select=-c(Id, PoolQC,Fence, MiscFeature, Alley, Utilities))
lm1 = lm(SalePrice ~ ., data = train.df)

and removing any one of them the regression fails to run again with same error (which I have tested myself).

And above attributes generally have 1400+ NAs and 10 useful values, so you might want to remove these garbage attributes, even they have 3 or 4 levels. I guess a function counting how many NAs in each column will help.

Changing file permission in Python

FYI here is a function to convert a permission string with 9 characters (e.g. 'rwsr-x-wt') to a mask that can be used with os.chmod().

def perm2mask(p):
        
    assert len(p) == 9, 'Bad permission length'
    assert all(p[k] in 'rw-' for k in [0,1,3,4,6,7]), 'Bad permission format (read-write)'
    assert all(p[k] in 'xs-' for k in [2,5]), 'Bad permission format (execute)'
    assert p[8] in 'xt-', 'Bad permission format (execute other)'
    
    m = 0
    
    if p[0] == 'r': m |= stat.S_IRUSR 
    if p[1] == 'w': m |= stat.S_IWUSR 
    if p[2] == 'x': m |= stat.S_IXUSR 
    if p[2] == 's': m |= stat.S_IXUSR | stat.S_ISUID 
    
    if p[3] == 'r': m |= stat.S_IRGRP 
    if p[4] == 'w': m |= stat.S_IWGRP 
    if p[5] == 'x': m |= stat.S_IXGRP 
    if p[5] == 's': m |= stat.S_IXGRP | stat.S_ISGID 
    
    if p[6] == 'r': m |= stat.S_IROTH 
    if p[7] == 'w': m |= stat.S_IWOTH 
    if p[8] == 'x': m |= stat.S_IXOTH 
    if p[8] == 't': m |= stat.S_IXOTH | stat.S_ISVTX
    
    return m

Note that setting SUID/SGID/SVTX bits will automatically set the corresponding execute bit. Without this, the resulting permission would be invalid (ST characters).

Convert PDF to image with high resolution

In ImageMagick, you can do "supersampling". You specify a large density and then resize down as much as desired for the final output size. For example with your image:

convert -density 600 test.pdf -background white -flatten -resize 25% test.png


enter image description here

Download the image to view at full resolution for comparison..

I do not recommend saving to JPG if you are expecting to do further processing.

If you want the output to be the same size as the input, then resize to the inverse of the ratio of your density to 72. For example, -density 288 and -resize 25%. 288=4*72 and 25%=1/4

The larger the density the better the resulting quality, but it will take longer to process.

python pandas dataframe to dictionary

in some versions the code below might not work

mydict = dict(zip(df.id, df.value))

so make it explicit

id_=df.id.values
value=df.value.values
mydict=dict(zip(id_,value))

Note i used id_ because the word id is reserved word

Export/import jobs in Jenkins

Go to your Jenkins server's front page, click on REST API at the bottom of the page:

Create Job

To create a new job, post config.xml to this URL with query parameter name=JOBNAME. You need to send a Content-Type: application/xml header. You'll get 200 status code if the creation is successful, or 4xx/5xx code if it fails. config.xml is the format Jenkins uses to store the project in the file system, so you can see examples of them in the Jenkins home directory, or by retrieving the XML configuration of existing jobs from /job/JOBNAME/config.xml.

docker error - 'name is already in use by container'

The OP's problem is the error. Deleting state isn't the only solution - or even a good one. The problem is docker run isn't re-entrant, and docker start is impotent w/o run. So we have to combine them.

For example to run Postgres w/o destroying previous state, try this:

docker start postgres || docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password postgres:13-alpine

How to fit in an image inside span tag?

Try using a div tag and block for span!

<div>
  <span style="padding-right:3px; padding-top: 3px; display:block;">
    <img class="manImg" src="images/ico_mandatory.gif"></img>
  </span>
</div>

mysqldump exports only one table

In case you encounter an error like this

mysqldump: 1044 Access denied when using LOCK TABLES

A quick workaround is to pass the –-single-transaction option to mysqldump.

So your command will be like this.

mysqldump --single-transaction -u user -p DBNAME > backup.sql

How to get week numbers from dates?

if you want to get the week number with the year use: "%Y-W%V":

e.g    yearAndweeks <- strftime(dates, format = "%Y-W%V")

so

> strftime(c("2014-03-16", "2014-03-17","2014-03-18", "2014-01-01"), format = "%Y-W%V")

becomes:

[1] "2014-W11" "2014-W12" "2014-W12" "2014-W01"

Show Curl POST Request Headers? Is there a way to do this?

I had exactly the same problem lately, and I installed Wireshark (it is a network monitoring tool). You can see everything with this, except encrypted traffic (HTTPS).

INSERT INTO from two different server database

It sounds like you might need to create and query linked database servers in SQL Server

At the moment you've created a query that's going between different databases using a 3 part name mydatabase.dbo.mytable but you need to go up a level and use a 4 part name myserver.mydatabase.dbo.mytable, see this post on four part naming for more info

edit
The four part naming for your existing query would be as shown below (which I suspect you may have already tried?), but this assumes you can "get to" the remote database with the four part name, you might need to edit your host file / register the server or otherwise identify where to find database.windows.net.

INSERT INTO [DATABASE.WINDOWS.NET].[basecampdev].[dbo].[invoice]
       ([InvoiceNumber]
       ,[TotalAmount]
       ,[IsActive]
       ,[CreatedBy]
       ,[UpdatedBy]
       ,[CreatedDate]
       ,[UpdatedDate]
       ,[Remarks])
SELECT [InvoiceNumber]
       ,[TotalAmount]
       ,[IsActive]
       ,[CreatedBy]
       ,[UpdatedBy]
       ,[CreatedDate]
       ,[UpdatedDate]
       ,[Remarks] FROM [BC1-PC].[testdabse].[dbo].[invoice]

If you can't access the remote server then see if you can create a linked database server:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver [database.windows.net];
GO
USE tempdb;
GO
CREATE SYNONYM MyInvoice FOR 
    [database.windows.net].basecampdev.dbo.invoice;
GO

Then you can just query against MyEmployee without needing the full four part name

Simulating ENTER keypress in bash script

You might find the yes command useful.

See man yes

Get a list of numbers as input from the user

try this one ,

n=int(raw_input("Enter length of the list"))
l1=[]
for i in range(n):
    a=raw_input()
    if(a.isdigit()):
        l1.insert(i,float(a)) #statement1
    else:
        l1.insert(i,a)        #statement2

If the element of the list is just a number the statement 1 will get executed and if it is a string then statement 2 will be executed. In the end you will have an list l1 as you needed.

What is the best way to give a C# auto-property an initial value?

Edited on 1/2/15

C# 6 :

With C# 6 you can initialize auto-properties directly (finally!), there are now other answers in the thread that describe that.

C# 5 and below:

Though the intended use of the attribute is not to actually set the values of the properties, you can use reflection to always set them anyway...

public class DefaultValuesTest
{    
    public DefaultValuesTest()
    {               
        foreach (PropertyDescriptor property in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this))
        {
            DefaultValueAttribute myAttribute = (DefaultValueAttribute)property.Attributes[typeof(DefaultValueAttribute)];

How do I debug Windows services in Visual Studio?

Unfortunately, if you're trying to debug something at the very start of a Windows Service operation, "attaching" to the running process won't work. I tried using Debugger.Break() within the OnStart procecdure, but with a 64-bit, Visual Studio 2010 compiled application, the break command just throws an error like this:

System error 1067 has occurred.

At that point, you need to set up an "Image File Execution" option in your registry for your executable. It takes five minutes to set up, and it works very well. Here's a Microsoft article where the details are:

Best Practices for mapping one object to another

I would opt for AutoMapper, an open source and free mapping library which allows to map one type into another, based on conventions (i.e. map public properties with the same names and same/derived/convertible types, along with many other smart ones). Very easy to use, will let you achieve something like this:

Model model = Mapper.Map<Model>(dto);

Not sure about your specific requirements, but AutoMapper also supports custom value resolvers, which should help you writing a single, generic implementation of your particular mapper.

How can I inspect element in an Android browser?

If you want to inspect html, css or maybe you need js console in your mobile browser . You can use excelent tool eruda Using it you have the same Developer Tools on your mobile browser like in your desctop device. Dont forget to upvote :) Here is a link https://github.com/liriliri/eruda

grep for multiple strings in file on different lines (ie. whole file, not line based search)?

I had this problem today, and all one-liners here failed to me because the files contained spaces in the names.

This is what I came up with that worked:

Deleting queues in RabbitMQ

If you do not care about the data in management database; i.e. users, vhosts, messages etc., and neither about other queues, then you can reset via commandline by running the following commands in order:

WARNING: In addition to the queues, this will also remove any users and vhosts, you have configured on your RabbitMQ server; and will delete any persistent messages

rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset
rabbitmqctl start_app

The rabbitmq documentation says that the reset command:

Returns a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.

Removes the node from any cluster it belongs to, removes all data from the management database, such as configured users and vhosts, and deletes all persistent messages.

So, be careful using it.

Type definition in object literal in TypeScript

You could use predefined utility type Record<Keys, Type> :

const obj: Record<string, string> = {
  property: "value",
};

It allows to specify keys for your object literal:

type Keys = "prop1" | "prop2"

const obj: Record<Keys, string> = {
  prop1: "Hello",
  prop2: "Aloha",
  something: "anything" // TS Error: Type '{ prop1: string; prop2: string; something: string; }' is not assignable to type 'Record<Keys, string>'.
                        //   Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'something' does not exist in type 'Record<Keys, string>'.
};

And a type for the property value:

type Keys = "prop1" | "prop2"
type Value = "Hello" | "Aloha"

const obj1: Record<Keys, Value> = {
  prop1: "Hello",
  prop2: "Hey", // TS Error: Type '"Hey"' is not assignable to type 'Value'.
};

How do I replace text inside a div element?

nodeValue is also a standard DOM property you can use:

}

'const string' vs. 'static readonly string' in C#

const

public const string MyStr;

is a compile time constant (you can use it as the default parameter for a method parameter for example), and it will not be obfuscated if you use such technology

static readonly

public static readonly string MyStr;

is runtime constant. It means that it is evaluated when the application is launched and not before. This is why it can't be used as the default parameter for a method (compilation error) for example. The value stored in it can be obfuscated.

Understanding Popen.communicate

Your second bit of code starts the first bit of code as a subprocess with piped input and output. It then closes its input and tries to read its output.

The first bit of code tries to read from standard input, but the process that started it closed its standard input, so it immediately reaches an end-of-file, which Python turns into an exception.

.NET Out Of Memory Exception - Used 1.3GB but have 16GB installed

As already mentioned, compiling the app in x64 gives you far more available memory.

But in the case one must build an app in x86, there is a way to raise the memory limit from 1,2GB to 4GB (which is the actual limit for 32 bit processes):

In the VC/bin folder of the Visual Studio installation directory, there must be an editbin.exe file. So in my default installation I find it under

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\editbin.exe

In order to make the program work, maybe you must execute vcvars32.bat in the same directory first. Then a

editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE <your compiled exe file>

is enough to let your program use 4GB RAM. <your compiled exe file> is the exe, which VS generated while compiling your project.

If you want to automate this behavior every time you compile your project, use the following Post-Build event for the executed project:

if exist "$(DevEnvDir)..\tools\vsvars32.bat" (
   call "$(DevEnvDir)..\tools\vsvars32.bat"
   editbin /largeaddressaware "$(TargetPath)"
)

Sidenote: The same can be done with the devenv.exe to let Visual Studio also use 4GB RAM instead of 1.2GB (but first backup the old devenv.exe).

Parsing JSON array into java.util.List with Gson

Below code is using com.google.gson.JsonArray. I have printed the number of element in list as well as the elements in List

import java.util.ArrayList;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.JsonArray;
import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
import com.google.gson.JsonParser;


public class Test {

    static String str = "{ "+ 
            "\"client\":\"127.0.0.1\"," + 
            "\"servers\":[" + 
            "    \"8.8.8.8\"," + 
            "    \"8.8.4.4\"," + 
            "    \"156.154.70.1\"," + 
            "    \"156.154.71.1\" " + 
            "    ]" + 
            "}";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        try {

            JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
            JsonObject jo = (JsonObject)jsonParser.parse(str);
            JsonArray jsonArr = jo.getAsJsonArray("servers");
            //jsonArr.
            Gson googleJson = new Gson();
            ArrayList jsonObjList = googleJson.fromJson(jsonArr, ArrayList.class);
            System.out.println("List size is : "+jsonObjList.size());
                    System.out.println("List Elements are  : "+jsonObjList.toString());


        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

OUTPUT

List size is : 4

List Elements are  : [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 156.154.70.1, 156.154.71.1]

How to find if element with specific id exists or not

 var myEle = document.getElementById("myElement");
    if(myEle){
        var myEleValue= myEle.value;
    }

the return of getElementById is null if an element is not actually present inside the dom, so your if statement will fail, because null is considered a false value

Why does Java have transient fields?

Simply put, the transient java keyword protect fields from the been Serialize as their non-transient fields counter parts.

In this code snippet our abstract class BaseJob implement Serializable interface, we extends from BaseJob but we need not serialize the remote and local data sources; serialize only organizationName and isSynced fields.

public abstract class BaseJob implements Serializable{
   public void ShouldRetryRun(){}
}

public class SyncOrganizationJob extends BaseJob {

   public String organizationName;
   public Boolean isSynced

   @Inject transient RemoteDataSource remoteDataSource;
   @Inject transient LocalDaoSource localDataSource;

   public SyncOrganizationJob(String organizationName) {
     super(new 
         Params(BACKGROUND).groupBy(GROUP).requireNetwork().persist());

      this.organizationName = organizationName;
      this.isSynced=isSynced;

   }
}

Node Express sending image files as API response

a proper solution with streams and error handling is below:

const fs = require('fs')
const stream = require('stream')

app.get('/report/:chart_id/:user_id',(req, res) => {
  const r = fs.createReadStream('path to file') // or any other way to get a readable stream
  const ps = new stream.PassThrough() // <---- this makes a trick with stream error handling
  stream.pipeline(
   r,
   ps, // <---- this makes a trick with stream error handling
   (err) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err) // No such file or any other kind of error
      return res.sendStatus(400); 
    }
  })
  ps.pipe(res) // <---- this makes a trick with stream error handling
})

with Node older then 10 you will need to use pump instead of pipeline.

Showing data values on stacked bar chart in ggplot2

As hadley mentioned there are more effective ways of communicating your message than labels in stacked bar charts. In fact, stacked charts aren't very effective as the bars (each Category) doesn't share an axis so comparison is hard.

It's almost always better to use two graphs in these instances, sharing a common axis. In your example I'm assuming that you want to show overall total and then the proportions each Category contributed in a given year.

library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
library(plyr)

# create a new column with proportions
prop <- function(x) x/sum(x)
Data <- ddply(Data,"Year",transform,Share=prop(Frequency))

# create the component graphics
totals <- ggplot(Data,aes(Year,Frequency)) + geom_bar(fill="darkseagreen",stat="identity") + 
  xlab("") + labs(title = "Frequency totals in given Year")
proportion <- ggplot(Data, aes(x=Year,y=Share, group=Category, colour=Category)) 
+ geom_line() + scale_y_continuous(label=percent_format())+ theme(legend.position = "bottom") + 
  labs(title = "Proportion of total Frequency accounted by each Category in given Year")

# bring them together
grid.arrange(totals,proportion)

This will give you a 2 panel display like this:

Vertically stacked 2 panel graphic

If you want to add Frequency values a table is the best format.

Create a list from two object lists with linq

This can easily be done by using the Linq extension method Union. For example:

var mergedList = list1.Union(list2).ToList();

This will return a List in which the two lists are merged and doubles are removed. If you don't specify a comparer in the Union extension method like in my example, it will use the default Equals and GetHashCode methods in your Person class. If you for example want to compare persons by comparing their Name property, you must override these methods to perform the comparison yourself. Check the following code sample to accomplish that. You must add this code to your Person class.

/// <summary>
/// Checks if the provided object is equal to the current Person
/// </summary>
/// <param name="obj">Object to compare to the current Person</param>
/// <returns>True if equal, false if not</returns>
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{        
    // Try to cast the object to compare to to be a Person
    var person = obj as Person;

    return Equals(person);
}

/// <summary>
/// Returns an identifier for this instance
/// </summary>
public override int GetHashCode()
{
    return Name.GetHashCode();
}

/// <summary>
/// Checks if the provided Person is equal to the current Person
/// </summary>
/// <param name="personToCompareTo">Person to compare to the current person</param>
/// <returns>True if equal, false if not</returns>
public bool Equals(Person personToCompareTo)
{
    // Check if person is being compared to a non person. In that case always return false.
    if (personToCompareTo == null) return false;

    // If the person to compare to does not have a Name assigned yet, we can't define if it's the same. Return false.
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(personToCompareTo.Name) return false;

    // Check if both person objects contain the same Name. In that case they're assumed equal.
    return Name.Equals(personToCompareTo.Name);
}

If you don't want to set the default Equals method of your Person class to always use the Name to compare two objects, you can also write a comparer class which uses the IEqualityComparer interface. You can then provide this comparer as the second parameter in the Linq extension Union method. More information on how to write such a comparer method can be found on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.iequalitycomparer.aspx

Choosing the best concurrency list in Java

If set is sufficient, ConcurrentSkipListSet might be used. (Its implementation is based on ConcurrentSkipListMap which implements a skip list.)

The expected average time cost is log(n) for the contains, add, and remove operations; the size method is not a constant-time operation.

What's a simple way to get a text input popup dialog box on an iPhone

Just wanted to add an important piece of information that I believe was left out perhaps with the assumption that the ones seeking answers might already know. This problem happens a lot and I too found myself stuck when I tried to implement the viewAlert method for the buttons of the UIAlertView message. To do this you need to 1st add the delegate class which may look something like this:

@interface YourViewController : UIViewController <UIAlertViewDelegate>

Also you can find a very helpful tutorial here!

Output:
bigDecimal value in String: 10.0001

            {
                output.AppendFormat("{0} ", rows[col]);
            }

            output.AppendLine();
        }

IIS7 Permissions Overview - ApplicationPoolIdentity

Giving access to the IIS AppPool\YourAppPoolName user may be not enough with IIS default configurations.

In my case, I still had the error HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized after adding the AppPool user and it was fixed only after adding permissions to the IUSR user.

This is necessary because, by default, Anonymous access is done using the IUSR. You can set another specific user, the Application Pool or continue using the IUSR, but don't forget to set the appropriate permissions.

CSS: Control space between bullet and <li>

Old question, but the :before pseudo element works well here.

<style>
    li:before {
        content: "";
        display: inline-block;
        height: 1rem;  // or px or em or whatever
        width: .5rem;  // or whatever space you want
    }
</style>

It works really well and doesn't require many extra rules or html.

<ul>
    <li>Some content</li>
    <li>Some other content</li>
</ul>

How to change legend size with matplotlib.pyplot

There are multiple settings for adjusting the legend size. The two I find most useful are:

  • labelspacing: which sets the spacing between label entries in multiples of the font size. For instance with a 10 point font, legend(..., labelspacing=0.2) will reduce the spacing between entries to 2 points. The default on my install is about 0.5.
  • prop: which allows full control of the font size, etc. You can set an 8 point font using legend(..., prop={'size':8}). The default on my install is about 14 points.

In addition, the legend documentation lists a number of other padding and spacing parameters including: borderpad, handlelength, handletextpad, borderaxespad, and columnspacing. These all follow the same form as labelspacing and area also in multiples of fontsize.

These values can also be set as the defaults for all figures using the matplotlibrc file.

How to install the Sun Java JDK on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)?

I am assuming that you need the JDK itself. If so you can accomplish this with:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

You don't really need to go around editing sources or anything along those lines.

Forcing to download a file using PHP

This cannot be done reliably, since it's up to the browser to decide what to do with an URL it's been asked to retrieve.

You can suggest to the browser that it should offer to "save to disk" right away by sending a Content-disposition header:

header("Content-disposition: attachment");

I'm not sure how well this is supported by various browsers. The alternative is to send a Content-type of application/octet-stream, but that is a hack (you're basically telling the browser "I'm not telling you what kind of file this is" and depending on the fact that most browsers will then offer a download dialog) and allegedly causes problems with Internet Explorer.

Read more about this in the Web Authoring FAQ.

Edit You've already switched to a PHP file to deliver the data - which is necessary to set the Content-disposition header (unless there are some arcane Apache settings that can also do this). Now all that's left to do is for that PHP file to read the contents of the CSV file and print them - the filename=example.csv in the header only suggests to the client browser what name to use for the file, it does not actually fetch the data from the file on the server.

MySQL - Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails

Hope this will assist anyone having the same error while importing CSV data into related tables. In my case the parent table was OK, but I got the error while importing data to the child table containing the foreign key. After temporarily removing the foregn key constraint on the child table, I managed to import the data and was suprised to find some of the values in the FK column having values of 0 (obviously this had been causing the error since the parent table did not have such values in its PK column). The cause was that, the data in my CSV column preceeding the FK column contained commas (which I was using as a field delimeter). Changing the delimeter for my CSV file solved the problem.

What can <f:metadata>, <f:viewParam> and <f:viewAction> be used for?

Process GET parameters

The <f:viewParam> manages the setting, conversion and validation of GET parameters. It's like the <h:inputText>, but then for GET parameters.

The following example

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam name="id" value="#{bean.id}" />
</f:metadata>

does basically the following:

  • Get the request parameter value by name id.
  • Convert and validate it if necessary (you can use required, validator and converter attributes and nest a <f:converter> and <f:validator> in it like as with <h:inputText>)
  • If conversion and validation succeeds, then set it as a bean property represented by #{bean.id} value, or if the value attribute is absent, then set it as request attribtue on name id so that it's available by #{id} in the view.

So when you open the page as foo.xhtml?id=10 then the parameter value 10 get set in the bean this way, right before the view is rendered.

As to validation, the following example sets the param to required="true" and allows only values between 10 and 20. Any validation failure will result in a message being displayed.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam id="id" name="id" value="#{bean.id}" required="true">
        <f:validateLongRange minimum="10" maximum="20" />
    </f:viewParam>
</f:metadata>
<h:message for="id" />

Performing business action on GET parameters

You can use the <f:viewAction> for this.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam id="id" name="id" value="#{bean.id}" required="true">
        <f:validateLongRange minimum="10" maximum="20" />
    </f:viewParam>
    <f:viewAction action="#{bean.onload}" />
</f:metadata>
<h:message for="id" />

with

public void onload() {
    // ...
}

The <f:viewAction> is however new since JSF 2.2 (the <f:viewParam> already exists since JSF 2.0). If you can't upgrade, then your best bet is using <f:event> instead.

<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{bean.onload}" />

This is however invoked on every request. You need to explicitly check if the request isn't a postback:

public void onload() {
    if (!FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback()) {
        // ...
    }
}

When you would like to skip "Conversion/Validation failed" cases as well, then do as follows:

public void onload() {
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    if (!facesContext.isPostback() && !facesContext.isValidationFailed()) {
        // ...
    }
}

Using <f:event> this way is in essence a workaround/hack, that's exactly why the <f:viewAction> was introduced in JSF 2.2.


Pass view parameters to next view

You can "pass-through" the view parameters in navigation links by setting includeViewParams attribute to true or by adding includeViewParams=true request parameter.

<h:link outcome="next" includeViewParams="true">
<!-- Or -->
<h:link outcome="next?includeViewParams=true">

which generates with the above <f:metadata> example basically the following link

<a href="next.xhtml?id=10">

with the original parameter value.

This approach only requires that next.xhtml has also a <f:viewParam> on the very same parameter, otherwise it won't be passed through.


Use GET forms in JSF

The <f:viewParam> can also be used in combination with "plain HTML" GET forms.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam id="query" name="query" value="#{bean.query}" />
    <f:viewAction action="#{bean.search}" />
</f:metadata>
...
<form>
    <label for="query">Query</label>
    <input type="text" name="query" value="#{empty bean.query ? param.query : bean.query}" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
    <h:message for="query" />
</form>
...
<h:dataTable value="#{bean.results}" var="result" rendered="#{not empty bean.results}">
     ...
</h:dataTable>

With basically this @RequestScoped bean:

private String query;
private List<Result> results;

public void search() {
    results = service.search(query);
}

Note that the <h:message> is for the <f:viewParam>, not the plain HTML <input type="text">! Also note that the input value displays #{param.query} when #{bean.query} is empty, because the submitted value would otherwise not show up at all when there's a validation or conversion error. Please note that this construct is invalid for JSF input components (it is doing that "under the covers" already).

Conversion between UTF-8 ArrayBuffer and String

function stringToUint(string) {
    var string = btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(string))),
        charList = string.split(''),
        uintArray = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < charList.length; i++) {
        uintArray.push(charList[i].charCodeAt(0));
    }
    return new Uint8Array(uintArray);
}

function uintToString(uintArray) {
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uintArray),
        decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(encodedString)));
    return decodedString;
}

I have done, with some help from the internet, these little functions, they should solve your problems! Here is the working JSFiddle.

EDIT:

Since the source of the Uint8Array is external and you can't use atob you just need to remove it(working fiddle):

function uintToString(uintArray) {
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uintArray),
        decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(encodedString));
    return decodedString;
}

Warning: escape and unescape is removed from web standards. See this.

How can I use MS Visual Studio for Android Development?

I suppose you can open Java files in Visual Studio and just use the command line tools directly. I don't think you'd get syntax highlighting or autocompletion though.

Eclipse is really not all that different from Visual Studio, and there are a lot of tools that are designed to make Android development more comfortable that work from within Eclipse.

how to format date in Component of angular 5

Another option can be using built in angular formatDate function. I am assuming that you are using reactive forms. Here todoDate is a date input field in template.

virtualenvwrapper and Python 3

I find that running

export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3

and

export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=/usr/bin/virtualenv-3.4

in the command line on Ubuntu forces mkvirtualenv to use python3 and virtualenv-3.4. One still has to do

mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 nameOfEnvironment

to create the environment. This is assuming that you have python3 in /usr/bin/python3 and virtualenv-3.4 in /usr/local/bin/virtualenv-3.4.

Function overloading in Javascript - Best practices

I'm not sure about best practice, but here is how I do it:

/*
 * Object Constructor
 */
var foo = function(x) {
    this.x = x;
};

/*
 * Object Protoype
 */
foo.prototype = {
    /*
     * f is the name that is going to be used to call the various overloaded versions
     */
    f: function() {

        /*
         * Save 'this' in order to use it inside the overloaded functions
         * because there 'this' has a different meaning.
         */   
        var that = this;  

        /* 
         * Define three overloaded functions
         */
        var f1 = function(arg1) {
            console.log("f1 called with " + arg1);
            return arg1 + that.x;
        }

        var f2 = function(arg1, arg2) {
             console.log("f2 called with " + arg1 + " and " + arg2);
             return arg1 + arg2 + that.x;
        }

        var f3 = function(arg1) {
             console.log("f3 called with [" + arg1[0] + ", " + arg1[1] + "]");
             return arg1[0] + arg1[1];
        }

        /*
         * Use the arguments array-like object to decide which function to execute when calling f(...)
         */
        if (arguments.length === 1 && !Array.isArray(arguments[0])) {
            return f1(arguments[0]);
        } else if (arguments.length === 2) {
            return f2(arguments[0], arguments[1]);
        } else if (arguments.length === 1 && Array.isArray(arguments[0])) {
            return f3(arguments[0]);
        }
    } 
}

/* 
 * Instantiate an object
 */
var obj = new foo("z");

/*
 * Call the overloaded functions using f(...)
 */
console.log(obj.f("x"));         // executes f1, returns "xz"
console.log(obj.f("x", "y"));    // executes f2, returns "xyz"
console.log(obj.f(["x", "y"]));  // executes f3, returns "xy"

How can I change my Cygwin home folder after installation?

c:/Users /home none bind 0 0

How can I use the $index inside a ng-repeat to enable a class and show a DIV?

The issue here is that ng-repeat creates its own scope, so when you do selected=$index it creates a new a selected property in that scope rather than altering the existing one. To fix this you have two options:

Change the selected property to a non-primitive (ie object or array, which makes javascript look up the prototype chain) then set a value on that:

$scope.selected = {value: 0};

<a ng-click="selected.value = $index">A{{$index}}</a>

See plunker

or

Use the $parent variable to access the correct property. Though less recommended as it increases coupling between scopes

<a ng-click="$parent.selected = $index">A{{$index}}</a>

See plunker

pandas read_csv and filter columns with usecols

If your csv file contains extra data, columns can be deleted from the DataFrame after import.

import pandas as pd
from StringIO import StringIO

csv = r"""dummy,date,loc,x
bar,20090101,a,1
bar,20090102,a,3
bar,20090103,a,5
bar,20090101,b,1
bar,20090102,b,3
bar,20090103,b,5"""

df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(csv),
        index_col=["date", "loc"], 
        usecols=["dummy", "date", "loc", "x"],
        parse_dates=["date"],
        header=0,
        names=["dummy", "date", "loc", "x"])
del df['dummy']

Which gives us:

                x
date       loc
2009-01-01 a    1
2009-01-02 a    3
2009-01-03 a    5
2009-01-01 b    1
2009-01-02 b    3

SqlDataAdapter vs SqlDataReader

DataReader:

  • Holds the connection open until you are finished (don't forget to close it!).
  • Can typically only be iterated over once
  • Is not as useful for updating back to the database

On the other hand, it:

  • Only has one record in memory at a time rather than an entire result set (this can be HUGE)
  • Is about as fast as you can get for that one iteration
  • Allows you start processing results sooner (once the first record is available). For some query types this can also be a very big deal.

DataAdapter/DataSet

  • Lets you close the connection as soon it's done loading data, and may even close it for you automatically
  • All of the results are available in memory
  • You can iterate over it as many times as you need, or even look up a specific record by index
  • Has some built-in faculties for updating back to the database

At the cost of:

  • Much higher memory use
  • You wait until all the data is loaded before using any of it

So really it depends on what you're doing, but I tend to prefer a DataReader until I need something that's only supported by a dataset. SqlDataReader is perfect for the common data access case of binding to a read-only grid.

npm ERR cb() never called

I had the same problem while installing ionic@beta. I tried the following items and they didn't help me.

  1. npm cache clean
  2. Manually delete cache from %temp%\npm-*
  3. Command prompt "Run As Administrator"

I solved the problem by installing node-v5.10.1-x64.msi (Previous version was node-v5.9.0-x64.msi) and run an npm cache clean before installing ionic@beta

It worked!

Execute PowerShell Script from C# with Commandline Arguments

I have another solution. I just want to test if executing a PowerShell script succeeds, because perhaps somebody might change the policy. As the argument, I just specify the path of the script to be executed.

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = @"powershell.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = @"& 'c:\Scripts\test.ps1'";
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();

string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
Assert.IsTrue(output.Contains("StringToBeVerifiedInAUnitTest"));

string errors = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
Assert.IsTrue(string.IsNullOrEmpty(errors));

With the contents of the script being:

$someVariable = "StringToBeVerifiedInAUnitTest"
$someVariable

What is the difference between 'protected' and 'protected internal'?

Protected Member

Protected Member of a class in only available in the contained class (in which it has been declared) and in the derived class within the assembly and also outside the assembly.

Means if a class that resides outside the assembly can use the protected member of the other assembly by inherited that class only.

We can exposed the Protected member outside the assembly by inherited that class and use it in the derived class only.

Note: Protected members are not accessible using the object in the derived class.

Internal Member

Internal Member of a class is available or access within the assembly either creating object or in a derived class or you can say it is accessible across all the classes within the assembly.

Note: Internal members not accessible outside the assembly either using object creating or in a derived class.

Protected Internal

Protected Internal access modifier is combination Protected or Internal.

Protected Internal Member can be available within the entire assembly in which it declared either creating object or by inherited that class. And can be accessible outside the assembly in a derived class only.

Note: Protected Internal member works as Internal within the same assembly and works as Protected for outside the assembly.

How do you post to an iframe?

Depends what you mean by "post data". You can use the HTML target="" attribute on a <form /> tag, so it could be as simple as:

<form action="do_stuff.aspx" method="post" target="my_iframe">
  <input type="submit" value="Do Stuff!">
</form>

<!-- when the form is submitted, the server response will appear in this iframe -->
<iframe name="my_iframe" src="not_submitted_yet.aspx"></iframe>

If that's not it, or you're after something more complex, please edit your question to include more detail.

There is a known bug with Internet Explorer that only occurs when you're dynamically creating your iframes, etc. using Javascript (there's a work-around here), but if you're using ordinary HTML markup, you're fine. The target attribute and frame names isn't some clever ninja hack; although it was deprecated (and therefore won't validate) in HTML 4 Strict or XHTML 1 Strict, it's been part of HTML since 3.2, it's formally part of HTML5, and it works in just about every browser since Netscape 3.

I have verified this behaviour as working with XHTML 1 Strict, XHTML 1 Transitional, HTML 4 Strict and in "quirks mode" with no DOCTYPE specified, and it works in all cases using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13. My test case consist of two files, using classic ASP on IIS 6; they're reproduced here in full so you can verify this behaviour for yourself.

compression and decompression of string data in java

Client send some messages need be compressed, server (kafka) decompress the string meesage

Below is my sample:

compress:

   public static String compress(String str, String inEncoding) {
        if (str == null || str.length() == 0) {
            return str;
        }
        try {
            ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            GZIPOutputStream gzip = new GZIPOutputStream(out);
            gzip.write(str.getBytes(inEncoding));
            gzip.close();
            return URLEncoder.encode(out.toString("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

decompress:

    public static String decompress(String str, String outEncoding) {
        if (str == null || str.length() == 0) {
            return str;
        }

        try {

            ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(decode.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));
            GZIPInputStream gunzip = new GZIPInputStream(in);

PHP errors NOT being displayed in the browser [Ubuntu 10.10]

Don't just enable the first occurrence of display_errors in the php.ini file. Make sure you scroll down to the "real" setting and change it from Off to On.

The thing is that if you settle with changing (i.e. uncomment + add = On) by the very first occurrence of display_errors your changes will be overwritten somewhere on line 480 where it's set to Off again.

How to determine whether a substring is in a different string

You can also try find() method. It determines if string str occurs in string, or in a substring of string.

str1 = "please help me out so that I could solve this"
str2 = "please help me out"

if (str1.find(str2)>=0):
  print("True")
else:
  print ("False")

What exactly does stringstream do?

Sometimes it is very convenient to use stringstream to convert between strings and other numerical types. The usage of stringstream is similar to the usage of iostream, so it is not a burden to learn.

Stringstreams can be used to both read strings and write data into strings. It mainly functions with a string buffer, but without a real I/O channel.

The basic member functions of stringstream class are

  • str(), which returns the contents of its buffer in string type.

  • str(string), which set the contents of the buffer to the string argument.

Here is an example of how to use string streams.

ostringstream os;
os << "dec: " << 15 << " hex: " << std::hex << 15 << endl;
cout << os.str() << endl;

The result is dec: 15 hex: f.

istringstream is of more or less the same usage.

To summarize, stringstream is a convenient way to manipulate strings like an independent I/O device.

FYI, the inheritance relationships between the classes are:

string stream classes

How do I print the elements of a C++ vector in GDB?

'Watching' STL containers while debugging is somewhat of a problem. Here are 3 different solutions I have used in the past, none of them is perfect.

1) Use GDB scripts from http://clith.com/gdb_stl_utils/ These scripts allow you to print the contents of almost all STL containers. The problem is that this does not work for nested containers like a stack of sets.

2) Visual Studio 2005 has fantastic support for watching STL containers. This works for nested containers but this is for their implementation for STL only and does not work if you are putting a STL container in a Boost container.

3) Write your own 'print' function (or method) for the specific item you want to print while debugging and use 'call' while in GDB to print the item. Note that if your print function is not being called anywhere in the code g++ will do dead code elimination and the 'print' function will not be found by GDB (you will get a message saying that the function is inlined). So compile with -fkeep-inline-functions

Do I really need to encode '&' as '&amp;'?

If you're really talking about the static text

<title>Foo & Bar</title>

stored in some file on the hard disk and served directly by a server, then yes: it probably doesn't need to be escaped.

However, since there is very little HTML content nowadays that's completely static, I'll add the following disclaimer that assumes that the HTML content is generated from some other source (database content, user input, web service call result, legacy API result, ...):

If you don't escape a simple &, then chances are you also don't escape a &amp; or a &nbsp; or <b> or <script src="http://attacker.com/evil.js"> or any other invalid text. That would mean that you are at best displaying your content wrongly and more likely are suspectible to XSS attacks.

In other words: when you're already checking and escaping the other more problematic cases, then there's almost no reason to leave the not-totally-broken-but-still-somewhat-fishy standalone-& unescaped.

How to implement swipe gestures for mobile devices?

Hammer time!

I have used Hammer JS and it work with gesture. Read details from here: https://hammerjs.github.io/

Good thing that it is much more light weight and fast then jQuery mobile. You can test it on their website as well.

Error: could not find function "%>%"

You need to load a package (like magrittr or dplyr) that defines the function first, then it should work.

install.packages("magrittr") # package installations are only needed the first time you use it
install.packages("dplyr")    # alternative installation of the %>%
library(magrittr) # needs to be run every time you start R and want to use %>%
library(dplyr)    # alternatively, this also loads %>%

The pipe operator %>% was introduced to "decrease development time and to improve readability and maintainability of code."

But everybody has to decide for himself if it really fits his workflow and makes things easier. For more information on magrittr, click here.

Not using the pipe %>%, this code would return the same as your code:

words <- colnames(as.matrix(dtm))
words <- words[nchar(words) < 20]
words

EDIT: (I am extending my answer due to a very useful comment that was made by @Molx)

Despite being from magrittr, the pipe operator is more commonly used with the package dplyr (which requires and loads magrittr), so whenever you see someone using %>% make sure you shouldn't load dplyr instead.

Change hover color on a button with Bootstrap customization

The color for your buttons comes from the btn-x classes (e.g., btn-primary, btn-success), so if you want to manually change the colors by writing your own custom css rules, you'll need to change:

/*This is modifying the btn-primary colors but you could create your own .btn-something class as well*/
.btn-primary {
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #0495c9;
    border-color: #357ebd; /*set the color you want here*/
}
.btn-primary:hover, .btn-primary:focus, .btn-primary:active, .btn-primary.active, .open>.dropdown-toggle.btn-primary {
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #00b3db;
    border-color: #285e8e; /*set the color you want here*/
}

How to get selected path and name of the file opened with file dialog?

To extract only the filename from the path, you can do the following:

varFileName = Mid(fDialog.SelectedItems(1), InStrRev(fDialog.SelectedItems(1), "\") + 1, Len(fDialog.SelectedItems(1)))

Structs data type in php?

It seems that the struct datatype is commonly used in SOAP:

var_dump($client->__getTypes());

array(52) {
  [0] =>
  string(43) "struct Bank {\n string Code;\n string Name;\n}"
}

This is not a native PHP datatype!

It seems that the properties of the struct type referred to in SOAP can be accessed as a simple PHP stdClass object:

$some_struct = $client->SomeMethod();
echo 'Name: ' . $some_struct->Name;

ModelState.AddModelError - How can I add an error that isn't for a property?

Putting the model dot property in strings worked for me: ModelState.AddModelError("Item1.Month", "This is not a valid date");

Java 8 NullPointerException in Collectors.toMap

Yep, a late answer from me, but I think it may help to understand what's happening under the hood in case anyone wants to code some other Collector-logic.

I tried to solve the problem by coding a more native and straight forward approach. I think it's as direct as possible:

public class LambdaUtilities {

  /**
   * In contrast to {@link Collectors#toMap(Function, Function)} the result map
   * may have null values.
   */
  public static <T, K, U, M extends Map<K, U>> Collector<T, M, M> toMapWithNullValues(Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper) {
    return toMapWithNullValues(keyMapper, valueMapper, HashMap::new);
  }

  /**
   * In contrast to {@link Collectors#toMap(Function, Function, BinaryOperator, Supplier)}
   * the result map may have null values.
   */
  public static <T, K, U, M extends Map<K, U>> Collector<T, M, M> toMapWithNullValues(Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper, Supplier<Map<K, U>> supplier) {
    return new Collector<T, M, M>() {

      @Override
      public Supplier<M> supplier() {
        return () -> {
          @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
          M map = (M) supplier.get();
          return map;
        };
      }

      @Override
      public BiConsumer<M, T> accumulator() {
        return (map, element) -> {
          K key = keyMapper.apply(element);
          if (map.containsKey(key)) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Duplicate key " + key);
          }
          map.put(key, valueMapper.apply(element));
        };
      }

      @Override
      public BinaryOperator<M> combiner() {
        return (left, right) -> {
          int total = left.size() + right.size();
          left.putAll(right);
          if (left.size() < total) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Duplicate key(s)");
          }
          return left;
        };
      }

      @Override
      public Function<M, M> finisher() {
        return Function.identity();
      }

      @Override
      public Set<Collector.Characteristics> characteristics() {
        return Collections.unmodifiableSet(EnumSet.of(Collector.Characteristics.IDENTITY_FINISH));
      }

    };
  }

}

And the tests using JUnit and assertj:

  @Test
  public void testToMapWithNullValues() throws Exception {
    Map<Integer, Integer> result = Stream.of(1, 2, 3)
        .collect(LambdaUtilities.toMapWithNullValues(Function.identity(), x -> x % 2 == 1 ? x : null));

    assertThat(result)
        .isExactlyInstanceOf(HashMap.class)
        .hasSize(3)
        .containsEntry(1, 1)
        .containsEntry(2, null)
        .containsEntry(3, 3);
  }

  @Test
  public void testToMapWithNullValuesWithSupplier() throws Exception {
    Map<Integer, Integer> result = Stream.of(1, 2, 3)
        .collect(LambdaUtilities.toMapWithNullValues(Function.identity(), x -> x % 2 == 1 ? x : null, LinkedHashMap::new));

    assertThat(result)
        .isExactlyInstanceOf(LinkedHashMap.class)
        .hasSize(3)
        .containsEntry(1, 1)
        .containsEntry(2, null)
        .containsEntry(3, 3);
  }

  @Test
  public void testToMapWithNullValuesDuplicate() throws Exception {
    assertThatThrownBy(() -> Stream.of(1, 2, 3, 1)
        .collect(LambdaUtilities.toMapWithNullValues(Function.identity(), x -> x % 2 == 1 ? x : null)))
            .isExactlyInstanceOf(IllegalStateException.class)
            .hasMessage("Duplicate key 1");
  }

  @Test
  public void testToMapWithNullValuesParallel() throws Exception {
    Map<Integer, Integer> result = Stream.of(1, 2, 3)
        .parallel() // this causes .combiner() to be called
        .collect(LambdaUtilities.toMapWithNullValues(Function.identity(), x -> x % 2 == 1 ? x : null));

    assertThat(result)
        .isExactlyInstanceOf(HashMap.class)
        .hasSize(3)
        .containsEntry(1, 1)
        .containsEntry(2, null)
        .containsEntry(3, 3);
  }

  @Test
  public void testToMapWithNullValuesParallelWithDuplicates() throws Exception {
    assertThatThrownBy(() -> Stream.of(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)
        .parallel() // this causes .combiner() to be called
        .collect(LambdaUtilities.toMapWithNullValues(Function.identity(), x -> x % 2 == 1 ? x : null)))
            .isExactlyInstanceOf(IllegalStateException.class)
            .hasCauseExactlyInstanceOf(IllegalStateException.class)
            .hasStackTraceContaining("Duplicate key");
  }

And how do you use it? Well, just use it instead of toMap() like the tests show. This makes the calling code look as clean as possible.

EDIT:
implemented Holger's idea below, added a test method

Detect if a NumPy array contains at least one non-numeric value?

With numpy 1.3 or svn you can do this

In [1]: a = arange(10000.).reshape(100,100)

In [3]: isnan(a.max())
Out[3]: False

In [4]: a[50,50] = nan

In [5]: isnan(a.max())
Out[5]: True

In [6]: timeit isnan(a.max())
10000 loops, best of 3: 66.3 µs per loop

The treatment of nans in comparisons was not consistent in earlier versions.

HQL ERROR: Path expected for join

You need to name the entity that holds the association to User. For example,

... INNER JOIN ug.user u ...

That's the "path" the error message is complaining about -- path from UserGroup to User entity.

Hibernate relies on declarative JOINs, for which the join condition is declared in the mapping metadata. This is why it is impossible to construct the native SQL query without having the path.

Is there a way to make text unselectable on an HTML page?

For Firefox you can apply the CSS declaration "-moz-user-select" to "none". Check out their documentation, user-select.

It's a "preview" of the future "user-select" as they say, so maybe Opera or WebKit-based browsers will support that. I also recall finding something for Internet Explorer, but I don't remember what :).

Anyway, unless it's a specific situation where text-selecting makes some dynamic functionality fail, you shouldn't really override what users are expecting from a webpage, and that is being able to select any text they want.

Angular JS break ForEach

Use Return to break the loop.

angular.forEach([0,1,2], function(count){
  if(count == 1) {
    return;
  }
});

VBA for filtering columns

Here's a different approach. The heart of it was created by turning on the Macro Recorder and filtering the columns per your specifications. Then there's a bit of code to copy the results. It will run faster than looping through each row and column:

Sub FilterAndCopy()
Dim LastRow As Long

Sheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Offset(0).ClearContents
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
    .Range("$A:$E").AutoFilter
    .Range("$A:$E").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="#N/A"
    .Range("$A:$E").AutoFilter field:=2, Criteria1:="=String1", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="=string2"
    .Range("$A:$E").AutoFilter field:=3, Criteria1:=">0"
    .Range("$A:$E").AutoFilter field:=5, Criteria1:="Number"
    LastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    .Range("A1:A" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Copy _
            Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
End With
End Sub

As a side note, your code has more loops and counter variables than necessary. You wouldn't need to loop through the columns, just through the rows. You'd then check the various cells of interest in that row, much like you did.

pandas dataframe convert column type to string or categorical

You need astype:

df['zipcode'] = df.zipcode.astype(str)
#df.zipcode = df.zipcode.astype(str)

For converting to categorical:

df['zipcode'] = df.zipcode.astype('category')
#df.zipcode = df.zipcode.astype('category')

Another solution is Categorical:

df['zipcode'] = pd.Categorical(df.zipcode)

Sample with data:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'zipcode': {17384: 98125, 2680: 98107, 722: 98005, 18754: 98109, 14554: 98155}, 'bathrooms': {17384: 1.5, 2680: 0.75, 722: 3.25, 18754: 1.0, 14554: 2.5}, 'sqft_lot': {17384: 1650, 2680: 3700, 722: 51836, 18754: 2640, 14554: 9603}, 'bedrooms': {17384: 2, 2680: 2, 722: 4, 18754: 2, 14554: 4}, 'sqft_living': {17384: 1430, 2680: 1440, 722: 4670, 18754: 1130, 14554: 3180}, 'floors': {17384: 3.0, 2680: 1.0, 722: 2.0, 18754: 1.0, 14554: 2.0}})

Can I access variables from another file?

As Fermin said, a variable in the global scope should be accessible to all scripts loaded after it is declared. You could also use a property of window or (in the global scope) this to get the same effect.

// first.js
var colorCodes = {

  back  : "#fff",
  front : "#888",
  side  : "#369"

};

... in another file ...

// second.js
alert (colorCodes.back); // alerts `#fff`

... in your html file ...

<script type="text/javascript" src="first.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="second.js"></script> 

document.body.appendChild(i)

If your script is inside head tag in html file, try to put it inside body tag. CreateElement while script is inside head tag will give you a null warning

<head>
  <title></title>
</head>

<body>
  <h1>Game</h1>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</body>

AngularJS : Clear $watch

scope.$watch returns a function that you can call and that will unregister the watch.

Something like:

var unbindWatch = $scope.$watch("myvariable", function() {
    //...
});

setTimeout(function() {
    unbindWatch();
}, 1000);

How to list active connections on PostgreSQL?

Oh, I just found that command on PostgreSQL forum:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity;

Get name of property as a string

I had some difficulty using the solutions already suggested for my specific use case, but figured it out eventually. I don't think my specific case is worthy of a new question, so I am posting my solution here for reference. (This is very closely related to the question and provides a solution for anyone else with a similar case to mine).

The code I ended up with looks like this:

public class HideableControl<T>: Control where T: class
{
    private string _propertyName;
    private PropertyInfo _propertyInfo;

    public string PropertyName
    {
        get { return _propertyName; }
        set
        {
            _propertyName = value;
            _propertyInfo = typeof(T).GetProperty(value);
        }
    }

    protected override bool GetIsVisible(IRenderContext context)
    {
        if (_propertyInfo == null)
            return false;

        var model = context.Get<T>();

        if (model == null)
            return false;

        return (bool)_propertyInfo.GetValue(model, null);
    }

    protected void SetIsVisibleProperty(Expression<Func<T, bool>> propertyLambda)
    {
        var expression = propertyLambda.Body as MemberExpression;
        if (expression == null)
            throw new ArgumentException("You must pass a lambda of the form: 'vm => vm.Property'");

        PropertyName = expression.Member.Name;
    }
}

public interface ICompanyViewModel
{
    string CompanyName { get; }
    bool IsVisible { get; }
}

public class CompanyControl: HideableControl<ICompanyViewModel>
{
    public CompanyControl()
    {
        SetIsVisibleProperty(vm => vm.IsVisible);
    }
}

The important part for me is that in the CompanyControl class the compiler will only allow me to choose a boolean property of ICompanyViewModel which makes it easier for other developers to get it right.

The main difference between my solution and the accepted answer is that my class is generic and I only want to match properties from the generic type that are boolean.

Node.js - get raw request body using Express

I got a solution that plays nice with bodyParser, using the verify callback in bodyParser. In this code, I am using it to get a sha1 of the content and also getting the raw body.

app.use(bodyParser.json({
    verify: function(req, res, buf, encoding) {

        // sha1 content
        var hash = crypto.createHash('sha1');
        hash.update(buf);
        req.hasha = hash.digest('hex');
        console.log("hash", req.hasha);

        // get rawBody        
        req.rawBody = buf.toString();
        console.log("rawBody", req.rawBody);

    }
}));

I am new in Node.js and express.js (started yesterday, literally!) so I'd like to hear comments on this solution.

Wrap a text within only two lines inside div

Limiting output to two lines of text is possible with CSS, if you set the line-height and height of the element, and set overflow:hidden;:

#someDiv {
    line-height: 1.5em;
    height: 3em;       /* height is 2x line-height, so two lines will display */
    overflow: hidden;  /* prevents extra lines from being visible */
}

--- jsFiddle DEMO ---

Alternatively, you can use the CSS text-overflow and white-space properties to add ellipses, but this only appears to work for a single line.

#someDiv {
    line-height: 1.5em;
    height: 3em;
    overflow: hidden;
    white-space: nowrap;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    width: 100%;
}

And a demo:

--- jsFiddle DEMO ---

Achieving both multiple lines of text and ellipses appears to be the realm of javascript.

Select from where field not equal to Mysql Php

$sqlquery = "SELECT field1, field2 FROM table WHERE columnA <> 'x' AND columbB <> 'y'";

I'd suggest using the diamond operator (<>) in favor of != as the first one is valid SQL and the second one is a MySQL addition.

numpy: most efficient frequency counts for unique values in an array

This is by far the most general and performant solution; surprised it hasn't been posted yet.

import numpy as np

def unique_count(a):
    unique, inverse = np.unique(a, return_inverse=True)
    count = np.zeros(len(unique), np.int)
    np.add.at(count, inverse, 1)
    return np.vstack(( unique, count)).T

print unique_count(np.random.randint(-10,10,100))

Unlike the currently accepted answer, it works on any datatype that is sortable (not just positive ints), and it has optimal performance; the only significant expense is in the sorting done by np.unique.

Declaring a custom android UI element using XML

You can include any layout file in other layout file as-

             <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="30dp" >

                <include
                    android:id="@+id/frnd_img_file"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    layout="@layout/include_imagefile"/>

                <ImageView
                    android:id="@+id/downloadbtn"
                    android:layout_width="30dp"

                    android:src="@drawable/plus"/>
            </RelativeLayout>

here the layout files in include tag are other .xml layout files in the same res folder.

Save and load MemoryStream to/from a file

The combined answer for writing to a file can be;

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();    
FileStream file = new FileStream("file.bin", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
ms.WriteTo(file);
file.Close();
ms.Close();

Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer... (error code 3417)

I have had the same error recently. I have checked the folder Log of my Server instance.

x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\

and I have found this errors in logs

Starting up database 'master'.
Error: 17204, Severity: 16, State: 1.
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file

So for me it was an easy fix. I just added proper access rights to this files to the sql server service account. I hope it will help

How to check currently internet connection is available or not in android

You can try this:

private boolean isConnectedToWifi(){
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if(cm != null){    
        NetworkCapabilities nc = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.getActiveNetwork());
        return nc.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI);
    }
    return false;
}

Can I use an HTML input type "date" to collect only a year?

Add this code structure to your page code

<?php
echo '<label>Admission Year:</label><br><select name="admission_year" data-component="date">';
for($year=1900; $year<=date('Y'); $year++){
echo '<option value="'.$year.'">'.$year.'</option>';
}
?>

It works perfectly and can be reverse engineered

<?php
echo '<label>Admission Year:</label><br><select name="admission_year" data-component="date">';
for($year=date('Y'); $year>=1900; $year++){
echo '<option value="'.$year.'">'.$year.'</option>';
}
?>

With this you are good to go.

Access elements of parent window from iframe

I think the problem may be that you are not finding your element because of the "#" in your call to get it:

window.parent.document.getElementById('#target'); 

You only need the # if you are using jquery. Here it should be:

window.parent.document.getElementById('target');

Failed to load the JNI shared Library (JDK)

This happens because of the way the windows paths interact. Your 32-bit JRE is listed BEFORE your 64-bit version. Since javaw.exe is named the same for both 32 and 64 bit versions, it tries the first one it finds. Change the order in your Path Environmental variables, so the 64-bit version higher on the list than the 32-bit, and it will work correctly.

Installing MySQL Python on Mac OS X

As others mentioned before me....getting Python to work with MySQL on a Mac is a ?@#$@&%^!! nightmare.

Installed Django framework on Mac OS 10.7.5 initially from the original Django website and when the MySQLdb didn't work, and after many hours googling and trying solutions from SO, I have installed the Django stack from BitNami http://bitnami.com/stack/django

Still, got the issues mentioned above and then some more...

What helped me eventually is what Josh recommends on his blog: http://joshbranchaud.com/blog/2013/02/10/Errors-While-Setting-Up-Django.html

Now Python 2.7 is finally connected to MySQL 5.5

PYTHONPATH vs. sys.path

I think, that in this case using PYTHONPATH is a better thing, mostly because it doesn't introduce (questionable) unneccessary code.

After all, if you think of it, your user doesn't need that sys.path thing, because your package will get installed into site-packages, because you will be using a packaging system.

If the user chooses to run from a "local copy", as you call it, then I've observed, that the usual practice is to state, that the package needs to be added to PYTHONPATH manually, if used outside the site-packages.

Difference between declaring variables before or in loop?

It depends on the language and the exact use. For instance, in C# 1 it made no difference. In C# 2, if the local variable is captured by an anonymous method (or lambda expression in C# 3) it can make a very signficant difference.

Example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        List<Action> actions = new List<Action>();

        int outer;
        for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            outer = i;
            int inner = i;
            actions.Add(() => Console.WriteLine("Inner={0}, Outer={1}", inner, outer));
        }

        foreach (Action action in actions)
        {
            action();
        }
    }
}

Output:

Inner=0, Outer=9
Inner=1, Outer=9
Inner=2, Outer=9
Inner=3, Outer=9
Inner=4, Outer=9
Inner=5, Outer=9
Inner=6, Outer=9
Inner=7, Outer=9
Inner=8, Outer=9
Inner=9, Outer=9

The difference is that all of the actions capture the same outer variable, but each has its own separate inner variable.

Comparing arrays in JUnit assertions, concise built-in way?

Using junit4 and Hamcrest you get a concise method of comparing arrays. It also gives details of where the error is in the failure trace.

import static org.junit.Assert.*
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*;

//...

assertThat(result, is(new int[] {56, 100, 2000}));

Failure Trace output:

How do I change the default index page in Apache?

You can also set DirectoryIndex in apache's httpd.conf file.

CentOS keeps this file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Debian: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

To load landing.html as a default (but index.html if that's not found) change this line to read:

DirectoryIndex  landing.html index.html

Sending mass email using PHP

There is more into it aside from using a software. If you could create a bulk emailer program that sends intermittently. Say if you will send 5,000 recipients, create a loop that would send 38 lists per sending then pause for 10 seconds. I have an actual experience sending 500 manually per days for the past weeks and so far i have good results.

Another consideration are the content of your email. Nowadays it is a standard that you need to put your physical office address and the "unsubscribe" opt-out. These are factors that majority of recipient emails servers are checking. If you don't have these they will classify you as spammer.

Mailchimp is my best recommendation to use if you want a paid service provider in sending to your email subscriber NOT sending unsolicited or cold email marketing.

Hope it helps.

Is <div style="width: ;height: ;background: "> CSS?

Yes, it is called Inline CSS, Here you styling the div using some height, width, and background.

Here the example:

<div style="width:50px;height:50px;background color:red">

You can achieve same using Internal or External CSS

2.Internal CSS:

  <head>
    <style>
    div {
    height:50px;
    width:50px;
    background-color:red;
    foreground-color:white;
    }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div></div>
  </body>

3.External CSS:

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>

style.css /external css file/

 div {
        height:50px;
        width:50px;
        background-color:red;
    }

operator << must take exactly one argument

The problem is that you define it inside the class, which

a) means the second argument is implicit (this) and

b) it will not do what you want it do, namely extend std::ostream.

You have to define it as a free function:

class A { /* ... */ };
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const A& a);

Update row values where certain condition is met in pandas

          a         b         c         d
0 -0.323772  0.839542  0.173414 -1.341793
1 -1.001287  0.676910  0.465536  0.229544
2  0.963484 -0.905302 -0.435821  1.934512
3  0.266113 -0.034305 -0.110272 -0.720599
4 -0.522134 -0.913792  1.862832  0.314315

In [3]: df.ix[df.a>0, ['b','c']] = 0

In [4]: df
Out[4]: 
          a         b         c         d
0 -0.323772  0.839542  0.173414 -1.341793
1 -1.001287  0.676910  0.465536  0.229544
2  0.963484  0.000000  0.000000  1.934512
3  0.266113  0.000000  0.000000 -0.720599
4 -0.522134 -0.913792  1.862832  0.314315

EDIT

After the extra information, the following will return all columns - where some condition is met - with halved values:

>> condition = df.a > 0
>> df[condition][[i for i in df.columns.values if i not in ['a']]].apply(lambda x: x/2)

I hope this helps!

hibernate: LazyInitializationException: could not initialize proxy

This generally means that the owning Hibernate session has already closed. You can do one of the following to fix it:

  1. whichever object creating this problem, use HibernateTemplate.initialize(object name)
  2. Use lazy=false in your hbm files.

Accessing an array out of bounds gives no error, why?

When you write 'array[index]' in C it translates it to machine instructions.

The translation is goes something like:

  1. 'get the address of array'
  2. 'get the size of the type of objects array is made up of'
  3. 'multiply the size of the type by index'
  4. 'add the result to the address of array'
  5. 'read what's at the resulting address'

The result addresses something which may, or may not, be part of the array. In exchange for the blazing speed of machine instructions you lose the safety net of the computer checking things for you. If you're meticulous and careful it's not a problem. If you're sloppy or make a mistake you get burnt. Sometimes it might generate an invalid instruction that causes an exception, sometimes not.

How to maintain page scroll position after a jquery event is carried out?

Try the code below to prevent the default behaviour scrolling back to the top of the page

$(document).ready(function() {   
  $('.galleryicon').live("click", function(e) {  // the (e) represent the event
    $('#mainImage').hide();     
    $('#cakebox').css('background-image', "url('ajax-loader.gif')");     
    var i = $('<img />').attr('src',this.href).load(function() {         
      $('#mainImage').attr('src', i.attr('src'));         
      $('#cakebox').css('background-image', 'none');         
      $('#mainImage').fadeIn();     
    });
  e.preventDefault(); //Prevent default click action which is causing the 
  return false;       //page to scroll back to the top
  });  
});

For more information on event.preventDefault() have a look here at the official documentation.

How to print out the method name and line number and conditionally disable NSLog?

NSLog(@"%s %d %s %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, __FUNCTION__);

Outputs file name, line number, and function name:

/proj/cocoa/cdcli/cdcli.m 121 managedObjectContext managedObjectContext

__FUNCTION__ in C++ shows mangled name __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ shows nice function name, in cocoa they look the same.

I'm not sure what is the proper way of disabling NSLog, I did:

#define NSLog

And no logging output showed up, however I don't know if this has any side effects.

How to prevent multiple definitions in C?

If you're using Visual Studio you could also do "#pragma once" at the top of the headerfile to achieve the same thing as the "#ifndef ..."-wrapping. Some other compilers probably support it as well .. .. However, don't do this :D Stick with the #ifndef-wrapping to achieve cross-compiler compatibility. I just wanted to let you know that you could also do #pragma once, since you'll probably meet this statement quite a bit when reading other peoples code.

Good luck with it

how to change background image of button when clicked/focused?

Its very easy to implement . For that you need to create a one xml file(selector file) and put it in drawable folder in res. After that set xml file in button's background in your layout file.

button_background_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/your_hover_image" />
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/your_hover_image" />
    <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/your_hover_image"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/your_simple_image" />
</selector>

Now set the above file in button's background.

<Button
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@color/grey_text"
    android:background="@drawable/button_background_selector"/>

Hibernate vs JPA vs JDO - pros and cons of each?

JDO is dead

JDO is not dead actually so please check your facts. JDO 2.2 was released in Oct 2008 JDO 2.3 is under development.

This is developed openly, under Apache. More releases than JPA has had, and its ORM specification is still in advance of even the JPA2 proposed features

How can I show data using a modal when clicking a table row (using bootstrap)?

One thing you can do is get rid of all those onclick attributes and do it the right way with bootstrap. You don't need to open them manually; you can specify the trigger and even subscribe to events before the modal opens so that you can do your operations and populate data in it.

I am just going to show as a static example which you can accommodate in your real world.

On each of your <tr>'s add a data attribute for id (i.e. data-id) with the corresponding id value and specify a data-target, which is a selector you specify, so that when clicked, bootstrap will select that element as modal dialog and show it. And then you need to add another attribute data-toggle=modal to make this a trigger for modal.

  <tr data-toggle="modal" data-id="1" data-target="#orderModal">
            <td>1</td>
            <td>24234234</td>
            <td>A</td>
  </tr>
  <tr data-toggle="modal" data-id="2" data-target="#orderModal">
            <td>2</td>
            <td>24234234</td>
            <td>A</td>
        </tr>
  <tr data-toggle="modal" data-id="3" data-target="#orderModal">
            <td>3</td>
            <td>24234234</td>
            <td>A</td>
  </tr>

And now in the javascript just set up the modal just once and event listen to its events so you can do your work.

$(function(){
    $('#orderModal').modal({
        keyboard: true,
        backdrop: "static",
        show:false,

    }).on('show', function(){ //subscribe to show method
          var getIdFromRow = $(event.target).closest('tr').data('id'); //get the id from tr
        //make your ajax call populate items or what even you need
        $(this).find('#orderDetails').html($('<b> Order Id selected: ' + getIdFromRow  + '</b>'))
    });
});

Demo

Do not use inline click attributes any more. Use event bindings instead with vanilla js or using jquery.

Alternative ways here:

Valiant           225
> changes( mtcars, mtcars2 )
Changed variables:
      old         new
disp  0x105500400
disp2             0x105500400

What is the difference between the | and || or operators?

|| is the logical OR operator. It sounds like you basically know what that is. It's used in conditional statements such as if, while, etc.

condition1 || condition2

Evaluates to true if either condition1 OR condition2 is true.

| is the bitwise OR operator. It's used to operate on two numbers. You look at each bit of each number individually and, if one of the bits is 1 in at least one of the numbers, then the resulting bit will be 1 also. Here are a few examples:

A = 01010101
B = 10101010
A | B = 11111111

A = 00000001
B = 00010000
A | B = 00010001

A = 10001011
B = 00101100

A | B = 10101111

Hopefully that makes sense.

So to answer the last two questions, I wouldn't say there are any caveats besides "know the difference between the two operators." They're not interchangeable because they do two completely different things.

DataTrigger where value is NOT null?

I'm using this to only enable a button if a listview item is selected (ie not null):

        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=lvMyList, Path=SelectedItem}" Value="{x:Null}">

        </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>

}

C# Numeric Only TextBox Control

You might want to try int.TryParse(string, out int) in the KeyPress(object, KeyPressEventArgs) event to check for numeric values. For the other problem you could use regular expressions instead.

Version of Apache installed on a Debian machine

Some installations of Apache are fubar (think Oracle's packaging of it, OHS) and do not understand the -V flag, nor can be invoked directly without running into missing library errors.

Easiest way is to use the strings command (part of binutils) on the httpd binary and grep for a string that might resemble a version. For example, assuming your httpd binary is under directory /foo/bar:

$ strings /foo/bar/httpd  | grep 2.2
GLIBC_2.2.5
Oracle-HTTP-Server/2.2.22 (Unix)
Success_Accepted_202
202 Accepted

Most binaries (not all) contain their version (at least their major version) as static strings. This is my go-to way to get versions (or to corroborate what a binary's help message matches what reality on the ground truly is.)

Python: How to convert datetime format?

@Tim's answer only does half the work -- that gets it into a datetime.datetime object.

notifyDataSetChanged not working on RecyclerView

Although it is a bit strange, but the notifyDataSetChanged does not really work without setting new values to adapter. So, you should do:

array = getNewItems();                    
((MyAdapter) mAdapter).setValues(array);  // pass the new list to adapter !!!
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();       

This has worked for me.

}
#dropdown.fade {
    opacity:1;
