How to select first child with jQuery?

Try with: $('.onediv').eq(0)

demo jsBin

From the demo: Other examples of selectors and methods targeting the first LI unside an UL:

.eq() Method: $('li').eq(0)
:eq() selector: $('li:eq(0)')
.first() Method $('li').first()
:first selector: $('li:first')
:first-child selector: $('li:first-child')
:lt() selector:$('li:lt(1)')
:nth-child() selector:$('li:nth-child(1)')

jQ + JS:

Array.slice() Method: $('li').slice(0,1)

you can also use [i] to get the JS HTMLelement index out of the jQuery el. (array) collection like eg:

$('li')[0]

now that you have the JS element representation you have to use JS native methods eg:

$('li')[0].className = 'active'; // Adds class "active" to the first LI in the DOM

or you can (don't - it's bad design) wrap it back into a jQuery object

$( $('li')[0] ).addClass('active'); // Don't. Use .eq() instead

Use jQuery to change value of a label

val() is more like a shortcut for attr('value'). For your usage use text() or html() instead

How do you do the "therefore" (?) symbol on a Mac or in Textmate?

First you use a full stop, then you hold down alt and press the letter H and put in another full stop. .?.

PHP 7 simpleXML

------------------in centos-------------------------

find out which package provides php-xml:

 yum provides php-xml

then from the output list,select the appropriate one, install

yum install php70u-xml-7.0.14-2.ius.centos7.x86_64

Add leading zeroes/0's to existing Excel values to certain length

Even this will work nicely

REPT(0,2-LEN(F2)&F2

where 2 is total number of digits, for 0 ~ 9 -> it will display 00 to 09 rest nothing will be added.

Url decode UTF-8 in Python

If you are using Python 3, you can use urllib.parse

url = """example.com?title=%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0"""

import urllib.parse
urllib.parse.unquote(url)

gives:

'example.com?title=????????+??????'

Recommended way to insert elements into map

To quote:

Because map containers do not allow for duplicate key values, the insertion operation checks for each element inserted whether another element exists already in the container with the same key value, if so, the element is not inserted and its mapped value is not changed in any way.

So insert will not change the value if the key already exists, the [] operator will.

EDIT:

This reminds me of another recent question - why use at() instead of the [] operator to retrieve values from a vector. Apparently at() throws an exception if the index is out of bounds whereas [] operator doesn't. In these situations it's always best to look up the documentation of the functions as they will give you all the details. But in general, there aren't (or at least shouldn't be) two functions/operators that do the exact same thing.

My guess is that, internally, insert() will first check for the entry and afterwards itself use the [] operator.

Google OAUTH: The redirect URI in the request did not match a registered redirect URI

When your browser redirects the user to Google's oAuth page, are you passing as a parameter the redirect URI you want Google's server to return to with the token response? Setting a redirect URI in the console is not a way of telling Google where to go when a login attempt comes in, but rather it's a way of telling Google what the allowed redirect URIs are (so if someone else writes a web app with your client ID but a different redirect URI it will be disallowed); your web app should, when someone clicks the "login" button, send the browser to:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=XXXXX&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/WEBAPP/youtube-callback.html&response_type=code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload

(the callback URI passed as a parameter must be url-encoded, btw).

When Google's server gets authorization from the user, then, it'll redirect the browser to whatever you sent in as the redirect_uri. It'll include in that request the token as a parameter, so your callback page can then validate the token, get an access token, and move on to the other parts of your app.

If you visit:

http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/OAuth2#Authorization_Code_Flow

You can see better samples of the java client there, demonstrating that you have to override the getRedirectUri method to specify your callback path so the default isn't used.

The redirect URIs are in the client_secrets.json file for multiple reasons ... one big one is so that the oAuth flow can verify that the redirect your app specifies matches what your app allows.

If you visit https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/apis/youtube/v3 You can generate a sample application for yourself that's based directly off your app in the console, in which (again) the getRedirectUri method is overwritten to use your specific callbacks.

Constants in Kotlin -- what's a recommended way to create them?

In Kotlin, if you want to create the local constants which are supposed to be used with in the class then you can create it like below

val MY_CONSTANT = "Constants"

And if you want to create a public constant in kotlin like public static final in java, you can create it as follow.

companion object{

     const val MY_CONSTANT = "Constants"

}

HTML Script tag: type or language (or omit both)?

The type attribute is used to define the MIME type within the HTML document. Depending on what DOCTYPE you use, the type value is required in order to validate the HTML document.

The language attribute lets the browser know what language you are using (Javascript vs. VBScript) but is not necessarily essential and, IIRC, has been deprecated.

Recursively looping through an object to build a property list

Solution to flatten properties and arrays as well.

Example input:

{
  obj1: {
    prop1: "value1",
    prop2: "value2"
  },
  arr1: [
    "value1",
    "value2"
  ]
}

Output:

"arr1[0]": "value1"
"arr1[1]": "value2"
"obj1.prop1": "value1"
"obj1.prop2": "value2"

Source code:

flatten(object, path = '', res = undefined) {
      if (!Array.isArray(res)) {
          res = [];
      }
      if (object !== null && typeof object === 'object') {
          if (Array.isArray(object)) {
              for (let i = 0; i < object.length; i++) {
                  this.flatten(object[i], path + '[' + i + ']', res)
              }
          } else {
              const keys = Object.keys(object)
              for (let i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
                  const key = keys[i]
                  this.flatten(object[key], path ? path + '.' + key : key, res)
              }
          }
      } else {
          if (path) {
              res[path] = object
          }
      }
      return res
  }

Angular 4 img src is not found

You must use this code in angular to add the image path. if your images are under assets folder then.

<img src="../assets/images/logo.png" id="banner-logo" alt="Landing Page"/>

if not under the assets folder then you can use this code.

<img src="../images/logo.png" id="banner-logo" alt="Landing Page"/>

What is the fastest way to transpose a matrix in C++?

Modern linear algebra libraries include optimized versions of the most common operations. Many of them include dynamic CPU dispatch, which chooses the best implementation for the hardware at program execution time (without compromising on portability).

This is commonly a better alternative to performing manual optimization of your functinos via vector extensions intrinsic functions. The latter will tie your implementation to a particular hardware vendor and model: if you decide to swap to a different vendor (e.g. Power, ARM) or to a newer vector extensions (e.g. AVX512), you will need to re-implement it again to get the most of them.

MKL transposition, for example, includes the BLAS extensions function imatcopy. You can find it in other implementations such as OpenBLAS as well:

#include <mkl.h>

void transpose( float* a, int n, int m ) {
    const char row_major = 'R';
    const char transpose = 'T';
    const float alpha = 1.0f;
    mkl_simatcopy (row_major, transpose, n, m, alpha, a, n, n);
}

For a C++ project, you can make use of the Armadillo C++:

#include <armadillo>

void transpose( arma::mat &matrix ) {
    arma::inplace_trans(matrix);
}

Python list subtraction operation

If the lists allow duplicate elements, you can use Counter from collections:

from collections import Counter
result = list((Counter(x)-Counter(y)).elements())

If you need to preserve the order of elements from x:

result = [ v for c in [Counter(y)] for v in x if not c[v] or c.subtract([v]) ]

When working with a version control system where all files are read only until checked out (like Perforce), the problem may be that you accidentally submitted into this version control system one of the VS files (like filters, for example) and the file thus cannot be overridden during build.

Just go to your working directory and check that none of VS solution related files and none of temporary created files (like all moc_ and ui_ prefixed files in QT, for example) is read only.

Task continuation on UI thread

If you have a return value you need to send to the UI you can use the generic version like this:

This is being called from an MVVM ViewModel in my case.

var updateManifest = Task<ShippingManifest>.Run(() =>
    {
        Thread.Sleep(5000);  // prove it's really working!

        // GenerateManifest calls service and returns 'ShippingManifest' object 
        return GenerateManifest();  
    })

    .ContinueWith(manifest =>
    {
        // MVVM property
        this.ShippingManifest = manifest.Result;

        // or if you are not using MVVM...
        // txtShippingManifest.Text = manifest.Result.ToString();    

        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("UI manifest updated - " + DateTime.Now);

    }, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

Failed to load resource 404 (Not Found) - file location error?

Looks like the path you gave doesn't have any bootstrap files in them.

href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"

Make sure the files exist over there , else point the files to the correct path, which should be in your case

href="~/node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"

Oracle REPLACE() function isn't handling carriage-returns & line-feeds

Another way is to use TRANSLATE:

TRANSLATE (col_name, 'x'||CHR(10)||CHR(13), 'x')

The 'x' is any character that you don't want translated to null, because TRANSLATE doesn't work right if the 3rd parameter is null.

Font from origin has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy

For those using Microsoft products with a web.config file:

Merge this with your web.config.

To allow on any domain replace value="domain" with value="*"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.webserver>
    <httpprotocol>
      <customheaders>
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="domain" />
      </customheaders>
    </httpprotocol>
  </system.webserver>
</configuration>

If you don't have permission to edit web.config, then add this line in your server-side code.

Response.AppendHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "domain");

What is the difference between background, backgroundTint, backgroundTintMode attributes in android layout xml?

BackgroundTint works as color filter.

FEFBDE as tint

37AEE4 as background

Try seeing the difference by comment tint/background and check the output when both are set.

How to divide two columns?

Presumably, those columns are integer columns - which will be the reason as the result of the calculation will be of the same type.

e.g. if you do this:

SELECT 1 / 2

you will get 0, which is obviously not the real answer. So, convert the values to e.g. decimal and do the calculation based on that datatype instead.

e.g.

SELECT CAST(1 AS DECIMAL) / 2

gives 0.500000

Sending HTML Code Through JSON

All these answers didn't work for me.

But this one did:

Using BufferedReader to read Text File

you can store it in array and then use whichever line you want.. this is the code snippet that i have used to read line from file and store it in a string array, hope this will be useful for you :)

public class user {
 public static void main(String x[]) throws IOException{
  BufferedReader b=new BufferedReader(new FileReader("<path to file>"));
  String[] user=new String[30];
  String line="";
  while ((line = b.readLine()) != null) {
   user[i]=line; 
   System.out.println(user[1]);
   i++;  
   }

 }
}

What does elementFormDefault do in XSD?

ElementFormDefault has nothing to do with namespace of the types in the schema, it's about the namespaces of the elements in XML documents which comply with the schema.

Here's the relevent section of the spec:

Element Declaration Schema

Component Property  {target namespace}
Representation      If form is present and its ·actual value· is qualified, 
                    or if form is absent and the ·actual value· of 
                    elementFormDefault on the <schema> ancestor is qualified, 
                    then the ·actual value· of the targetNamespace [attribute]
                    of the parent <schema> element information item, or 
                    ·absent· if there is none, otherwise ·absent·.

What that means is that the targetNamespace you've declared at the top of the schema only applies to elements in the schema compliant XML document if either elementFormDefault is "qualified" or the element is declared explicitly in the schema as having form="qualified".

For example: If elementFormDefault is unqualified -

<element name="name" type="string" form="qualified"></element>
<element name="page" type="target:TypePage"></element>

will expect "name" elements to be in the targetNamespace and "page" elements to be in the null namespace.

To save you having to put form="qualified" on every element declaration, stating elementFormDefault="qualified" means that the targetNamespace applies to each element unless overridden by putting form="unqualified" on the element declaration.

How do I download and save a file locally on iOS using objective C?

NSURLSession introduced in iOS 7, is the recommended SDK way of downloading a file. No need to import 3rd party libraries.

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.something.com/file"];
NSURLRequest *downloadRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
NSURLSessionConfiguration *sessionConfig = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
NSURLSession *urlSession = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:sessionConfig delegate:self delegateQueue:nil];
self.downloadTask = [self.urlSession downloadTaskWithRequest:downloadRequest];
[self.downloadTask resume];

You can then use the NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate delegate methods to monitor errors, download completion, download progress etc... There are inline block completion handler callback methods too if you prefer. Apples docs explain when you need to use one over the other.

Have a read of these articles:

URL Loading System Programming Guide

J2ME/Android/BlackBerry - driving directions, route between two locations

J2ME Map Route Provider

maps.google.com has a navigation service which can provide you route information in KML format.

To get kml file we need to form url with start and destination locations:

public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon,
                            double toLat, double toLon) {// connect to map web service
    StringBuffer urlString = new StringBuffer();
    urlString.append("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en");
    urlString.append("&saddr=");// from
    urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLon));
    urlString.append("&daddr=");// to
    urlString.append(Double.toString(toLat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(toLon));
    urlString.append("&ie=UTF8&0&om=0&output=kml");
    return urlString.toString();
}

Next you will need to parse xml (implemented with SAXParser) and fill data structures:

public class Point {
    String mName;
    String mDescription;
    String mIconUrl;
    double mLatitude;
    double mLongitude;
}

public class Road {
    public String mName;
    public String mDescription;
    public int mColor;
    public int mWidth;
    public double[][] mRoute = new double[][] {};
    public Point[] mPoints = new Point[] {};
}

Network connection is implemented in different ways on Android and Blackberry, so you will have to first form url:

 public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon,
     double toLat, double toLon)

then create connection with this url and get InputStream.
Then pass this InputStream and get parsed data structure:

 public static Road getRoute(InputStream is)

        double toLat = 50.45, toLon = 30.523333;
        String url = RoadProvider.getUrl(fromLat, fromLon, toLat, toLon);
        InputStream is = getConnection(url);
        mRoad = RoadProvider.getRoute(is);
        map = new MapControl();
        add(new LabelField(mRoad.mName));
        add(new LabelField(mRoad.mDescription));
        add(map);
    }
    protected void onUiEngineAttached(boolean attached) {
        super.onUiEngineAttached(attached);
        if (attached) {
            map.drawPath(mRoad);
        }
    }
    private InputStream getConnection(String url) {
        HttpConnection urlConnection = null;
        InputStream is = null;
        try {
            urlConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
            urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            is = urlConnection.openInputStream();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return is;
    }
}

String str="string,with,comma";
ArrayList aList= new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(str.split(",")));
for(int i=0;i<aList.size();i++)
{
    System.out.println(" -->"+aList.get(i));
}

Prints you

What's a good, free serial port monitor for reverse-engineering?

Portmon from sysinternals (now MSFT) is probably the best monitor.

I haven't found a good free tool that will emulate a port and record/replay comms. The commercial ones were expensive and either so limited or so complex if you want to respond to commands that I ended up using expect and python on a second machine.

Disable/Enable Submit Button until all forms have been filled

Here is my way of validating a form with a disabled button. Check out the snippet below:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var inp = document.getElementsByTagName("input");_x000D_
var btn = document.getElementById("btn");_x000D_
// Disable the button dynamically using javascript_x000D_
btn.disabled = "disabled";_x000D_
_x000D_
function checkForm() {_x000D_
    for (var i = 0; i < inp.length; i++) {_x000D_
        if (inp[i].checkValidity() == false) {_x000D_
            btn.disabled = "disabled";_x000D_
        } else {_x000D_
            btn.disabled = false;_x000D_
        }_x000D_
    }_x000D_
}

<h1>Javascript form validation</h1>_x000D_
<p>Javascript constraint form validation example:</p>_x000D_

_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Example explained:

  1. We create a variable to store all the input elements.
    var inp = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
    
  2. We create another variable to store the button element
    var btn = document.getElementById("btn");
    
  3. We loop over the collection of input elements
    for (var i = 0; i < inp.length; i++) {
        // Code
    }
    
  4. Finally, We use the checkValidity() method to check if the input elements (with a required attribute) are valid or not (Code is inserted inside the for loop). If it is invalid, then the button will remain disabled, else the attribute is removed.
    for (var i = 0; i < inp.length; i++) {
        if (inp[i].checkValidity() == false) {
            btn.disabled = "disabled";
        } else {
            btn.disabled = false;
        }
    }
    

How to ignore files/directories in TFS for avoiding them to go to central source repository?

I found the perfect way to Ignore files in TFS like SVN does.
First of all, select the file that you want to ignore (e.g. the Web.config).
Now go to the menu tab and select:

File Source control > Advanced > Exclude web.config from source control

... and boom; your file is permanently excluded from source control.

URL Encoding using C#

I have written a C# method that url-encodes ALL symbols:

    /// <summary>

There is an error in XML document (1, 41)

First check the variables declared using proper Datatypes. I had a same problem then I have checked, by mistake I declared SAPUser as int datatype so that the error occurred. One more thing XML file stores its data using concept like array but its first index starts having +1. e.g. if error is in(7,2) then check for 6th line always.....

React.js: Wrapping one component into another

Using children

const Wrapper = ({children}) => (
  <div>
    <div>header</div>
    <div>{children}</div>
    <div>footer</div>
  </div>
);

const App = ({name}) => <div>Hello {name}</div>;

const WrappedApp = ({name}) => (
  <Wrapper>
    <App name={name}/>
  </Wrapper>
);

render(<WrappedApp name="toto"/>,node);

This is also known as transclusion in Angular.

children is a special prop in React and will contain what is inside your component's tags (here <App name={name}/> is inside Wrapper, so it is the children

Note that you don't necessarily need to use children, which is unique for a component, and you can use normal props too if you want, or mix props and children:

const AppLayout = ({header,footer,children}) => (
  <div className="app">
    <div className="header">{header}</div>
    <div className="body">{children}</div>
    <div className="footer">{footer}</div>
  </div>
);

const appElement = (
  <AppLayout 
    header={<div>header</div>}
    footer={<div>footer</div>}
  >
    <div>body</div>
  </AppLayout>
);

render(appElement,node);

This is simple and fine for many usecases, and I'd recommend this for most consumer apps.


render props

It is possible to pass render functions to a component, this pattern is generally called render prop, and the children prop is often used to provide that callback.

This pattern is not really meant for layout. The wrapper component is generally used to hold and manage some state and inject it in its render functions.

Counter example:

const Counter = () => (
  <State initial={0}>
    {(val, set) => (
      <div onClick={() => set(val + 1)}>  
        clicked {val} times
      </div>
    )}
  </State>
); 

You can get even more fancy and even provide an object

<Promise promise={somePromise}>
  {{
    loading: () => <div>...</div>,
    success: (data) => <div>{data.something}</div>,
    error: (e) => <div>{e.message}</div>,
  }}
</Promise>

Note you don't necessarily need to use children, it is a matter of taste/API.

<Promise 
  promise={somePromise}
  renderLoading={() => <div>...</div>}
  renderSuccess={(data) => <div>{data.something}</div>}
  renderError={(e) => <div>{e.message}</div>}
/>

As of today, many libraries are using render props (React context, React-motion, Apollo...) because people tend to find this API more easy than HOC's. react-powerplug is a collection of simple render-prop components. react-adopt helps you do composition.


Higher-Order Components (HOC).

const wrapHOC = (WrappedComponent) => {
  class Wrapper extends React.PureComponent {
    render() {
      return (
        <div>
          <div>header</div>
          <div><WrappedComponent {...this.props}/></div>
          <div>footer</div>
        </div>
      );
    }  
  }
  return Wrapper;
}

const App = ({name}) => <div>Hello {name}</div>;

const WrappedApp = wrapHOC(App);

render(<WrappedApp name="toto"/>,node);

An Higher-Order Component / HOC is generally a function that takes a component and returns a new component.

Using an Higher-Order Component can be more performant than using children or render props, because the wrapper can have the ability to short-circuit the rendering one step ahead with shouldComponentUpdate.

Here we are using PureComponent. When re-rendering the app, if the WrappedApp name prop does not change over time, the wrapper has the ability to say "I don't need to render because props (actually, the name) are the same as before". With the children based solution above, even if the wrapper is PureComponent, it is not the case because the children element is recreated everytime the parent renders, which means the wrapper will likely always re-render, even if the wrapped component is pure. There is a babel plugin that can help mitigate this and ensure a constant children element over time.


Conclusion

Higher-Order Components can give you better performance. It's not so complicated but it certainly looks unfriendly at first.

Don't migrate your whole codebase to HOC after reading this. Just remember that on critical paths of your app you might want to use HOCs instead of runtime wrappers for performance reasons, particularly if the same wrapper is used a lot of times it's worth considering making it an HOC.

Redux used at first a runtime wrapper <Connect> and switched later to an HOC connect(options)(Comp) for performance reasons (by default, the wrapper is pure and use shouldComponentUpdate). This is the perfect illustration of what I wanted to highlight in this answer.

Note if a component has a render-prop API, it is generally easy to create a HOC on top of it, so if you are a lib author, you should write a render prop API first, and eventually offer an HOC version. This is what Apollo does with <Query> render-prop component, and the graphql HOC using it.

Personally, I use both, but when in doubt I prefer HOCs because:

  • It's more idiomatic to compose them (compose(hoc1,hoc2)(Comp)) compared to render props
  • It can give me better performances
  • I'm familiar with this style of programming

I don't hesitate to use/create HOC versions of my favorite tools:

  • React's Context.Consumer comp
  • Unstated's Subscribe
  • using graphql HOC of Apollo instead of Query render prop

In my opinion, sometimes render props make the code more readable, sometimes less... I try to use the most pragmatic solution according to the constraints I have. Sometimes readability is more important than performances, sometimes not. Choose wisely and don't bindly follow the 2018 trend of converting everything to render-props.

Android splash screen image sizes to fit all devices

In my case, I used list drawable in style.xml. With layer list drawable, you have just needed one png for all screen size.

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/flash_screen</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus" tools:ignore="NewApi">true</item>
</style>

and flash_screen.xml in drawable folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/white"></item>
    <item>
        <bitmap android:src="@drawable/background_noizi" android:gravity="center"></bitmap>
    </item>
</layer-list>

"background_noizi" is a png file in the drawable folder. I hope this helps.

Suppress Scientific Notation in Numpy When Creating Array From Nested List

Python Force-suppress all exponential notation when printing numpy ndarrays, wrangle text justification, rounding and print options:

What follows is an explanation for what is going on, scroll to bottom for code demos.

Passing parameter suppress=True to function set_printoptions works only for numbers that fit in the default 8 character space allotted to it, like this:

import numpy as np
np.set_printoptions(suppress=True) #prevent numpy exponential 
                                   #notation on print, default False

#            tiny     med  large
a = np.array([1.01e-5, 22, 1.2345678e7])  #notice how index 2 is 8 
                                          #digits wide

print(a)    #prints [ 0.0000101   22.     12345678. ]

However if you pass in a number greater than 8 characters wide, exponential notation is imposed again, like this:

np.set_printoptions(suppress=True)

a = np.array([1.01e-5, 22, 1.2345678e10])    #notice how index 2 is 10
                                             #digits wide, too wide!

#exponential notation where we've told it not to!
print(a)    #prints [1.01000000e-005   2.20000000e+001   1.23456780e+10]

numpy has a choice between chopping your number in half thus misrepresenting it, or forcing exponential notation, it chooses the latter.

Here comes set_printoptions(formatter=...) to the rescue to specify options for printing and rounding. Tell set_printoptions to just print bare a bare float:

np.set_printoptions(suppress=True,
   formatter={'float_kind':'{:f}'.format})

a = np.array([1.01e-5, 22, 1.2345678e30])  #notice how index 2 is 30
                                           #digits wide.  

#Ok good, no exponential notation in the large numbers:
print(a)  #prints [0.000010 22.000000 1234567799999999979944197226496.000000] 

We've force-suppressed the exponential notation, but it is not rounded or justified, so specify extra formatting options:

np.set_printoptions(suppress=True,
   formatter={'float_kind':'{:0.2f}'.format})  #float, 2 units 
                                               #precision right, 0 on left

a = np.array([1.01e-5, 22, 1.2345678e30])   #notice how index 2 is 30
                                            #digits wide

print(a)  #prints [0.00 22.00 1234567799999999979944197226496.00]

The drawback for force-suppressing all exponential notion in ndarrays is that if your ndarray gets a huge float value near infinity in it, and you print it, you're going to get blasted in the face with a page full of numbers.

How to create a laravel hashed password

If you want to understand how excatly laravel works you can review the complete class on Github: https://github.com/illuminate/hashing/blob/master/BcryptHasher.php

But basically there are Three PHP methods involved on that:

$pasword = 'user-password';
// To create a valid password out of laravel Try out!
$cost=10; // Default cost
$password = password_hash($pasword, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, ['cost' => $cost]);

// To validate the password you can use
$hash = '$2y$10$NhRNj6QF.Bo6ePSRsClYD.4zHFyoQr/WOdcESjIuRsluN1DvzqSHm';

if (password_verify($pasword, $hash)) {
   echo 'Password is valid!';
} else {
   echo 'Invalid password.';
}

//Finally if you have a $hash but you want to know the information about that hash. 
print_r( password_get_info( $password_hash ));

The hashed password is same as laravel 5.x bcrypt password. No need to give salt and cost, it will take its default values.

Those methods has been implemented in the laravel class, but if you want to learn more please review the official documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php

git submodule tracking latest

Edit (2020.12.28): GitHub change default master branch to main branch since October 2020. See https://github.com/github/renaming


Update March 2013

Git 1.8.2 added the possibility to track branches.

"git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit recorded in the superproject's gitlink).

# add submodule to track master branch
git submodule add -b master [URL to Git repo];

# update your submodule
git submodule update --remote 

If you had a submodule already present you now wish would track a branch, see "how to make an existing submodule track a branch".

Also see Vogella's tutorial on submodules for general information on submodules.

Note:

git submodule add -b . [URL to Git repo];
                    ^^^

See git submodule man page:

A special value of . is used to indicate that the name of the branch in the submodule should be the same name as the current branch in the current repository.


See commit b928922727d6691a3bdc28160f93f25712c565f6:

submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules

This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in .gitmodules when you add a new submodule. With this patch,

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
$ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

$ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the submodule, which is usually what you want.

Original answer (February 2012):

A submodule is a single commit referenced by a parent repo.
Since it is a Git repo on its own, the "history of all commits" is accessible through a git log within that submodule.

So for a parent to track automatically the latest commit of a given branch of a submodule, it would need to:

  • cd in the submodule
  • git fetch/pull to make sure it has the latest commits on the right branch
  • cd back in the parent repo
  • add and commit in order to record the new commit of the submodule.

gitslave (that you already looked at) seems to be the best fit, including for the commit operation.

It is a little annoying to make changes to the submodule due to the requirement to check out onto the correct submodule branch, make the change, commit, and then go into the superproject and commit the commit (or at least record the new location of the submodule).

Other alternatives are detailed here.

PHP date time greater than today

You are not comparing dates. You are comparing strings. In the world of string comparisons, 09/17/2015 > 01/02/2016 because 09 > 01. You need to either put your date in a comparable string format or compare DateTime objects which are comparable.

<?php
 $date_now = date("Y-m-d"); // this format is string comparable

if ($date_now > '2016-01-02') {
    echo 'greater than';
}else{
    echo 'Less than';
}

Demo

Or

<?php
 $date_now = new DateTime();
 $date2    = new DateTime("01/02/2016");

if ($date_now > $date2) {
    echo 'greater than';
}else{
    echo 'Less than';
}

SQL Server Configuration Manager not found

For SQL Server 2017 it is : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager14.msc

For SQL Server 2016 it is : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager13.msc

For SQL Server 2016 it is :C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc

and to add it back to the start menu, copy it from the original location provided above and paste it to

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2017\Configuration Tools\

This would put back the configuration manager under start menu.

How to properly add cross-site request forgery (CSRF) token using PHP

For security code, please don't generate your tokens this way: $token = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE));

Try this out:

Generating a CSRF Token

PHP 7

session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['token'])) {
    $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
}
$token = $_SESSION['token'];

Sidenote: One of my employer's open source projects is an initiative to backport random_bytes() and random_int() into PHP 5 projects. It's MIT licensed and available on Github and Composer as paragonie/random_compat.

PHP 5.3+ (or with ext-mcrypt)

session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['token'])) {
    if (function_exists('mcrypt_create_iv')) {
        $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(mcrypt_create_iv(32, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));
    } else {
        $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(32));
    }
}
$token = $_SESSION['token'];

Verifying the CSRF Token

Don't just use == or even ===, use hash_equals() (PHP 5.6+ only, but available to earlier versions with the hash-compat library).

if (!empty($_POST['token'])) {
    if (hash_equals($_SESSION['token'], $_POST['token'])) {
         // Proceed to process the form data
    } else {
         // Log this as a warning and keep an eye on these attempts
    }
}

Going Further with Per-Form Tokens

You can further restrict tokens to only be available for a particular form by using hash_hmac(). HMAC is a particular keyed hash function that is safe to use, even with weaker hash functions (e.g. MD5). However, I recommend using the SHA-2 family of hash functions instead.

First, generate a second token for use as an HMAC key, then use logic like this to render it:

<input type="hidden" name="token" value="<?php
    echo hash_hmac('sha256', '/my_form.php', $_SESSION['second_token']);
?>" />

And then using a congruent operation when verifying the token:

$calc = hash_hmac('sha256', '/my_form.php', $_SESSION['second_token']);
if (hash_equals($calc, $_POST['token'])) {
    // Continue...
}

The tokens generated for one form cannot be reused in another context without knowing $_SESSION['second_token']. It is important that you use a separate token as an HMAC key than the one you just drop on the page.

Bonus: Hybrid Approach + Twig Integration

Anyone who uses the Twig templating engine can benefit from a simplified dual strategy by adding this filter to their Twig environment:

$twigEnv->addFunction(
    new \Twig_SimpleFunction(
        'form_token',
        function($lock_to = null) {
            if (empty($_SESSION['token'])) {
                $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
            }
            if (empty($_SESSION['token2'])) {
                $_SESSION['token2'] = random_bytes(32);
            }
            if (empty($lock_to)) {
                return $_SESSION['token'];
            }
            return hash_hmac('sha256', $lock_to, $_SESSION['token2']);
        }
    )
);

With this Twig function, you can use both the general purpose tokens like so:

<input type="hidden" name="token" value="{{ form_token() }}" />

Or the locked down variant:

<input type="hidden" name="token" value="{{ form_token('/my_form.php') }}" />

Twig is only concerned with template rendering; you still must validate the tokens properly. In my opinion, the Twig strategy offers greater flexibility and simplicity, while maintaining the possibility for maximum security.


Single-Use CSRF Tokens

If you have a security requirement that each CSRF token is allowed to be usable exactly once, the simplest strategy regenerate it after each successful validation. However, doing so will invalidate every previous token which doesn't mix well with people who browse multiple tabs at once.

Paragon Initiative Enterprises maintains an Anti-CSRF library for these corner cases. It works with one-use per-form tokens, exclusively. When enough tokens are stored in the session data (default configuration: 65535), it will cycle out the oldest unredeemed tokens first.

cmake - find_library - custom library location

Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH by adding multiple paths (separated by semicolons and no white spaces). You can set it as an environmental variable to avoid having absolute paths in your cmake configuration files

Notice that cmake will look for config file in any of the following folders where is any of the path in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and name is the name of the library you are looking for

<prefix>/                                               (W)
<prefix>/(cmake|CMake)/                                 (W)
<prefix>/<name>*/                                       (W)
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/                         (W)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/          (U)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/                (U)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/  (U)

In your case you need to add to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH the following two paths:

D:/develop/cmake/libs/libA;D:/develop/cmake/libB

How to add a changed file to an older (not last) commit in Git

with git 1.7, there's a really easy way using git rebase:

stage your files:

git add $files

create a new commit and re-use commit message of your "broken" commit

git commit -c master~4

prepend fixup! in the subject line (or squash! if you want to edit commit (message)):

fixup! Factored out some common XPath Operations

use git rebase -i --autosquash to fixup your commit

What is a "callback" in C and how are they implemented?

Callbacks in C are usually implemented using function pointers and an associated data pointer. You pass your function on_event() and data pointers to a framework function watch_events() (for example). When an event happens, your function is called with your data and some event-specific data.

Callbacks are also used in GUI programming. The GTK+ tutorial has a nice section on the theory of signals and callbacks.

Spring Boot not serving static content

I think the previous answers address the topic very well. However, I'd add that in one case when you have Spring Security enabled in your application, you might have to specifically tell Spring to permit requests to other static resource directories like for example "/static/fonts".

In my case I had "/static/css", "/static/js", "/static/images" permited by default , but /static/fonts/** was blocked by my Spring Security implementation.

Below is an example of how I fixed this.

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
.....
    @Override
    protected void configure(final HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/", "/fonts/**").permitAll().
        //other security configuration rules
    }
.....
}

How to generate range of numbers from 0 to n in ES2015 only?

So, in this case, it would be nice if Number object would behave like an Array object with the spread operator.

For instance Array object used with the spread operator:

let foo = [0,1,2,3];
console.log(...foo) // returns 0 1 2 3

It works like this because Array object has a built-in iterator.
In our case, we need a Number object to have a similar functionality:

[...3] //should return [0,1,2,3]

To do that we can simply create Number iterator for that purpose.

Number.prototype[Symbol.iterator] = function *() {
   for(let i = 0; i <= this; i++)
       yield i;
}

Now it is possible to create ranges from 0 to N with the spread operator.

[...N] // now returns 0 ... N array

How to hide column of DataGridView when using custom DataSource?

If you want to use the BrowsableAttribute, then you can look for it at runtime on the model and hide the column accordingly:

private void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //add this line after your DataGridView initialization
    HideColumns<MyModel>(myDvg);
}

private void HideColumns<T>(DataGridView dvg)
{
    var type = typeof(T);
    foreach (var column in dvg.Columns.Cast<DataGridViewColumn>())
        column.Visible = IsBrowsable(type.GetProperty(column.Name));
}

private bool IsBrowsable(PropertyInfo propertyInfo)
{
    var attribute = propertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes(true).FirstOrDefault(att => att.GetType() == typeof(BrowsableAttribute));
    return attribute == null || (attribute as BrowsableAttribute).Browsable;
}

How to install Guest addition in Mac OS as guest and Windows machine as host

Guest Additions are available for MacOS starting with VirtualBox 6.0.

Installing:

  1. Boot & login into your guest macOS.
  2. In VirtualBox UI, use menu Devices | Insert Guest Additions CD image...
  3. CD will appear on your macOS desktop, open it.
  4. Run VBoxDarwinAdditions.pkg.
  5. Go through installer, it's mostly about clicking Next.
  6. At some step, macOS will be asking about permissions for Oracle. Click the button to go to System Preferences and allow it.
  7. If you forgot/misclicked in step 6, go to macOS System Preferences | Security & Privacy | General. In the bottom, there will be a question to allow permissions for Oracle. Allow it.

Troubleshooting

  1. macOS 10.15 introduced new code signing requirements; Guest additions installation will fail. However, if you reboot and apply step 7 from list above, shared clipboard will still work.
  2. VirtualBox < 6.0.12 has a bug where Guest Additions service doesn't start. Use newer VirtualBox.

Linker Error C++ "undefined reference "

Your header file Hash.h declares "what class hash should look like", but not its implementation, which is (presumably) in some other source file we'll call Hash.cpp. By including the header in your main file, the compiler is informed of the description of class Hash when compiling the file, but not how class Hash actually works. When the linker tries to create the entire program, it then complains that the implementation (toHash::insert(int, char)) cannot be found.

The solution is to link all the files together when creating the actual program binary. When using the g++ frontend, you can do this by specifying all the source files together on the command line. For example:

g++ -o main Hash.cpp main.cpp

will create the main program called "main".

How to open in default browser in C#

My default browser is Google Chrome and the accepted answer is giving the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

I solved the problem and managed to open an URL with the default browser by using this code:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe", "http://google.com");

Split a string into array in Perl

Having $line as it is now, you can simply split the string based on at least one whitespace separator

my @answer = split(' ', $line); # creates an @answer array

then

print("@answer\n");               # print array on one line

or

print("$_\n") for (@answer);      # print each element on one line

I prefer using () for split, print and for.

passing argument to DialogFragment

Just that i want to show how to do what do said @JafarKhQ in Kotlin for those who use kotlin that might help them and save theme time too:

so you have to create a companion objet to create new newInstance function

you can set the paremter of the function whatever you want. using

 val args = Bundle()

you can set your args.

You can now use args.putSomthing to add you args which u give as a prameter in your newInstance function. putString(key:String,str:String) to add string for example and so on

Now to get the argument you can use arguments.getSomthing(Key:String)=> like arguments.getString("1")

here is a full example

class IntervModifFragment : DialogFragment(), ModContract.View
{
    companion object {
        fun newInstance(  plom:String,type:String,position: Int):IntervModifFragment {
            val fragment =IntervModifFragment()
            val args = Bundle()
            args.putString( "1",plom)
            args.putString("2",type)
            args.putInt("3",position)
            fragment.arguments = args
            return fragment
        }
    }

...
    override fun onViewCreated(view: View?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
        fillSpinerPlom(view,arguments.getString("1"))
         fillSpinerType(view, arguments.getString("2"))
        confirmer_virme.setOnClickListener({on_confirmClick( arguments.getInt("3"))})


        val dateSetListener = object : DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
            override fun onDateSet(view: DatePicker, year: Int, monthOfYear: Int,
                                   dayOfMonth: Int) {
                val datep= DateT(year,monthOfYear,dayOfMonth)
                updateDateInView(datep.date)
            }
        }

    }
  ...
}

Now how to create your dialog you can do somthing like this in another class

  val dialog = IntervModifFragment.newInstance(ListInter.list[position].plom,ListInter.list[position].type,position)

like this for example

class InterListAdapter(private val context: Context, linkedList: LinkedList<InterItem> ) : RecyclerView.Adapter<InterListAdapter.ViewHolder>()
{
   ... 
    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {

        ...
        holder.btn_update!!.setOnClickListener {
           val dialog = IntervModifFragment.newInstance(ListInter.list[position].plom,ListInter.list[position].type,position)
           val ft = (context as AppCompatActivity).supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
            dialog.show(ft, ContentValues.TAG)
        }
        ...
    }
..

}

How to get some values from a JSON string in C#?

Create a class like this:

public class Data
{
    public string Id {get; set;}
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string First_Name {get; set;}
    public string Last_Name {get; set;}
    public string Username {get; set;}
    public string Gender {get; set;}
    public string Locale {get; set;}
}

(I'm not 100% sure, but if that doesn't work you'll need use [DataContract] and [DataMember] for DataContractJsonSerializer.)

Then create JSonSerializer:

private static readonly XmlObjectSerializer Serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Data));

and deserialize object:

// convert string to stream
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(contents);
using(var stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray))
{
    (Data)Serializer.ReadObject(stream);
}

Simplest PHP example for retrieving user_timeline with Twitter API version 1.1

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET);

$timelines = $connection->get('statuses/user_timeline', array('screen_name' => 'NSE_NIFTY', 'count' => 100, 'include_rts' => 1));

Rails 3 migrations: Adding reference column?

EDIT: This is an outdated answer and should not be applied for Rails 4.x+

You don't need to add references when you can use an integer id to your referenced class.

I'd say the advantage of using references instead of a plain integer is that the model will be predefined with belongs_to and since the model is already created and will not be affected when you migrate something existing, the purpose is kind of lost.

So I would do like this instead:

rails g migration add_user_id_to_tester user_id:integer

And then manually add belongs_to :user in the Tester model

Error 'LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt' after installing Visual Studio 2012 Release Preview

Even inspite of installing Service pack you are getting the error then try removing/renaming the cvtres.exe in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin folder. This has worked for me.

Can we have multiple "WITH AS" in single sql - Oracle SQL

You can do this as:

WITH abc AS( select
             FROM ...)
, XYZ AS(select
         From abc ....) /*This one uses "abc" multiple times*/
  Select 
  From XYZ....   /*using abc, XYZ multiple times*/

How to use WinForms progress bar?

There is Task exists, It is unnesscery using BackgroundWorker, Task is more simple. for example:

ProgressDialog.cs:

   public partial class ProgressDialog : Form
    {
        public System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar Progressbar { get { return this.progressBar1; } }

        public ProgressDialog()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public void RunAsync(Action action)
        {
            Task.Run(action);
        }
    }

Done! Then you can reuse ProgressDialog anywhere:

var progressDialog = new ProgressDialog();
progressDialog.Progressbar.Value = 0;
progressDialog.Progressbar.Maximum = 100;

progressDialog.RunAsync(() =>
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(1000)
        this.progressDialog.Progressbar.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)(() => {
            this.progressDialog.Progressbar.Value += 1;
        }));
    }
});

progressDialog.ShowDialog();

React Router Pass Param to Component

Here's typescript version. works on "react-router-dom": "^4.3.1"

export const AppRouter: React.StatelessComponent = () => {
    return (
        <BrowserRouter>
            <Switch>
                <Route exact path="/problem/:problemId" render={props => <ProblemPage {...props.match.params} />} />
                <Route path="/" exact component={App} />
            </Switch>
        </BrowserRouter>
    );
};

and component

export class ProblemPage extends React.Component<ProblemRouteTokens> {

    public render(): JSX.Element {
        return <div>{this.props.problemId}</div>;
    }
}

where ProblemRouteTokens

export interface ProblemRouteTokens { problemId: string; }

How to create PDFs in an Android app?

PDFJet offers an open-source version of their library that should be able to handle any basic PDF generation task. It's a purely Java-based solution and it is stated to be compatible with Android. There is a commercial version with some additional features that does not appear to be too expensive.

A required class was missing while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:war

My solution below is for cases when default maven repositories are not accessible (e.g. due to firewalls).

In case the default repository is not accessible appropriate local <pluginRepository> has to be specified in the settings.xml. If it's the same as your local artifact repository it still needs to be added to the <pluginRepositories> section for plugin jars to be found. Regular <repositories> section is not used to fetch plugin jars.

In my case, however, the issue was caused by the fact that there were multiple plugin repositories defined in that section.

The first repository in the list did not contain the required maven-filtering jar.

I had to change the order of <pluginRepository> definitions to ensure the first one contains maven-filtering.

Changing of repository definitions typically requires to clean ~/.m2/repository and start fresh.

How to change the port of Tomcat from 8080 to 80?

1) Go to conf folder in tomcat installation directory

 e.g. C:\Tomcat 6.0\conf\

2) Edit following tag in server.xml file

<Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443"/>

3) Change the port=8080 value to port=80

4) Save file.

5) Stop your Tomcat and restart it.

How do I get the title of the current active window using c#?

you can use process class it's very easy. use this namespace

using System.Diagnostics;

if you want to make a button to get active window.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {            
       Process currentp = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
       TextBox1.Text = currentp.MainWindowTitle;  //this textbox will be filled with active window.
    }

Difference between JSONObject and JSONArray

When you are working with JSON data in Android, you would use JSONArray to parse JSON which starts with the array brackets. Arrays in JSON are used to organize a collection of related items (Which could be JSON objects).
For example: [{"name":"item 1"},{"name": "item2} ]

On the other hand, you would use JSONObject when dealing with JSON that begins with curly braces. A JSON object is typically used to contain key/value pairs related to one item. For example: {"name": "item1", "description":"a JSON object"}

Of course, JSON arrays and objects may be nested inside one another. One common example of this is an API which returns a JSON object containing some metadata alongside an array of the items matching your query:

{"startIndex": 0, "data": [{"name":"item 1"},{"name": "item2"} ]}

How to add element in Python to the end of list using list.insert?

You'll have to pass the new ordinal position to insert using len in this case:

In [62]:

a=[1,2,3,4]
a.insert(len(a),5)
a
Out[62]:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Correct way to initialize empty slice

The two alternative you gave are semantically identical, but using make([]int, 0) will result in an internal call to runtime.makeslice (Go 1.14).

You also have the option to leave it with a nil value:

var myslice []int

As written in the Golang.org blog:

a nil slice is functionally equivalent to a zero-length slice, even though it points to nothing. It has length zero and can be appended to, with allocation.

A nil slice will however json.Marshal() into "null" whereas an empty slice will marshal into "[]", as pointed out by @farwayer.

None of the above options will cause any allocation, as pointed out by @ArmanOrdookhani.

Using R to download zipped data file, extract, and import data

Here is an example that works for files which cannot be read in with the read.table function. This example reads a .xls file.

url <-"https://www1.toronto.ca/City_Of_Toronto/Information_Technology/Open_Data/Data_Sets/Assets/Files/fire_stns.zip"

temp <- tempfile()
temp2 <- tempfile()

download.file(url, temp)
unzip(zipfile = temp, exdir = temp2)
data <- read_xls(file.path(temp2, "fire station x_y.xls"))

unlink(c(temp, temp2))

How to convert numbers to words without using num2word library?

Are you allowed to use other packages? This one works really well for me: Inflect. It is useful for natural language generation and has a method for turning numbers into english text.

I installed it with

$ pip install inflect

Then in your Python session

>>> import inflect
>>> p = inflect.engine()
>>> p.number_to_words(1234567)
'one million, two hundred and thirty-four thousand, five hundred and sixty-seven'

>>> p.number_to_words(22)
'twenty-two'

Android Studio: Where is the Compiler Error Output Window?

For Android Studio 3.1, select the icon below the Build one in the Build window.

Android Studio 3.1 raw log toggle button

By Android Studio 3.3 (possibly in 3.2.1), the icon has changed, though the location is the same:

Android Studio 3.3 raw log toggle button

The build window should open when you run a build action (e.g. from the Build menu). If you don't see it, you can try the "Build" button along the bottom of the window (also visible in the above screenshots), or through the menus View ? Tool Windows ? Build.

Where are the python modules stored?

You can find module code by first listing the modules:

help("modules")

This spits out a list of modules Python can import. At the bottom of this list is a phrase:

Enter any module name to get more help. Or, type "modules spam" to search for modules whose name or summary contain the string "spam".

To find module location:

help("module_Name")

for example:

help("signal")

A lot of information here. Scroll to the bottom to find its location

/usr/lib/python3.5/signal.py

Copy link. To see code, after exiting Python REPL:

nano /usr/lib/python3.5/signal.py

Default SQL Server Port

The default port 1433 is used when there is only one SQL Server named instance running on the computer.

When multiple SQL Server named instances are running, they run by default under a dynamic port (49152–65535). In this scenario, an application will connect to the SQL Server Browser service port (UDP 1434) to get the dynamic port and then connect to the dynamic port directly.

Are there any worse sorting algorithms than Bogosort (a.k.a Monkey Sort)?

Quantum Bogosort

A sorting algorithm that assumes that the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct:

  1. Check that the list is sorted. If not, destroy the universe.

At the conclusion of the algorithm, the list will be sorted in the only universe left standing. This algorithm takes worst-case O(N) and average-case O(1) time. In fact, the average number of comparisons performed is 2: there's a 50% chance that the universe will be destroyed on the second element, a 25% chance that it'll be destroyed on the third, and so on.

execute function after complete page load

You're best bet as far as I know is to use

window.addEventListener('load', function() {
    console.log('All assets loaded')
});

The #1 answer of using the DOMContentLoaded event is a step backwards since the DOM will load before all assets load.

Other answers recommend setTimeout which I would strongly oppose since it is completely subjective to the client's device performance and network connection speed. If someone is on a slow network and/or has a slow cpu, a page could take several to dozens of seconds to load, thus you could not predict how much time setTimeout will need.

As for readystatechange, it fires whenever readyState changes which according to MDN will still be before the load event.

Complete

The state indicates that the load event is about to fire.

What is the difference between map and flatMap and a good use case for each?

Here is an example of the difference, as a spark-shell session:

First, some data - two lines of text:

val rdd = sc.parallelize(Seq("Roses are red", "Violets are blue"))  // lines

rdd.collect

    res0: Array[String] = Array("Roses are red", "Violets are blue")

Now, map transforms an RDD of length N into another RDD of length N.

For example, it maps from two lines into two line-lengths:

rdd.map(_.length).collect

    res1: Array[Int] = Array(13, 16)

But flatMap (loosely speaking) transforms an RDD of length N into a collection of N collections, then flattens these into a single RDD of results.

rdd.flatMap(_.split(" ")).collect

    res2: Array[String] = Array("Roses", "are", "red", "Violets", "are", "blue")

We have multiple words per line, and multiple lines, but we end up with a single output array of words

Just to illustrate that, flatMapping from a collection of lines to a collection of words looks like:

["aa bb cc", "", "dd"] => [["aa","bb","cc"],[],["dd"]] => ["aa","bb","cc","dd"]

The input and output RDDs will therefore typically be of different sizes for flatMap.

If we had tried to use map with our split function, we'd have ended up with nested structures (an RDD of arrays of words, with type RDD[Array[String]]) because we have to have exactly one result per input:

rdd.map(_.split(" ")).collect

    res3: Array[Array[String]] = Array(
                                     Array(Roses, are, red), 
                                     Array(Violets, are, blue)
                                 )

Finally, one useful special case is mapping with a function which might not return an answer, and so returns an Option. We can use flatMap to filter out the elements that return None and extract the values from those that return a Some:

val rdd = sc.parallelize(Seq(1,2,3,4))

def myfn(x: Int): Option[Int] = if (x <= 2) Some(x * 10) else None

rdd.flatMap(myfn).collect

    res3: Array[Int] = Array(10,20)

(noting here that an Option behaves rather like a list that has either one element, or zero elements)

Why does make think the target is up to date?

EDIT: This only applies to some versions of make - you should check your man page.

You can also pass the -B flag to make. As per the man page, this does:

-B, --always-make Unconditionally make all targets.

So make -B test would solve your problem if you were in a situation where you don't want to edit the Makefile or change the name of your test folder.

Git for Windows: .bashrc or equivalent configuration files for Git Bash shell

In newer versions of Git for Windows, Bash is started with --login which causes Bash to not read .bashrc directly. Instead it reads .bash_profile.

If this file does not exist, create it with the following content:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi

This will cause Bash to read the .bashrc file. From my understanding of this issue, Git for Windows should do this automatically. However, I just installed version 2.5.1, and it did not.

How to find common elements from multiple vectors?

There might be a cleverer way to go about this, but

intersect(intersect(a,b),c)

will do the job.

EDIT: More cleverly, and more conveniently if you have a lot of arguments:

Reduce(intersect, list(a,b,c))

How do I combine two data-frames based on two columns?

See the documentation on ?merge, which states:

By default the data frames are merged on the columns with names they both have, 
 but separate specifications of the columns can be given by by.x and by.y.

This clearly implies that merge will merge data frames based on more than one column. From the final example given in the documentation:

x <- data.frame(k1=c(NA,NA,3,4,5), k2=c(1,NA,NA,4,5), data=1:5)
y <- data.frame(k1=c(NA,2,NA,4,5), k2=c(NA,NA,3,4,5), data=1:5)
merge(x, y, by=c("k1","k2")) # NA's match

This example was meant to demonstrate the use of incomparables, but it illustrates merging using multiple columns as well. You can also specify separate columns in each of x and y using by.x and by.y.

Access mysql remote database from command line

this solution worked for me:

On your remote machine (example: 295.13.12.53) has access to your target remote machine (which runs mysql server)

ssh -f -L 295.13.12.53:3306:10.18.81.36:3306 [email protected]

Explained:

ssh -f -L your_ssh_mashine_ipaddress:your_ssh_mashine_local_port:target_ipaddress:target_port user@your_ip_address -N

your_ssh_mashine_ipaddress - it is not local ip address, it is ip address that you ssh to, in this example 295.13.12.53

your_ssh_mashine_local_port -this is custom port not 22, in this example it is 3306.

target_ipaddress - ip of the machine that you trying to dump DB.

target_port - 3306 this is real port for MySQL server.

user@your_ip_address - this is ssh credentials for the ssh mashine that you connect

Once all this done then go back to your machine and do this:

mysqldump -h 295.13.12.53 -P 3306 -u username -p db_name > dumped_db.sql

Will ask for password, put your password and you are connected. Hope this helps.

How to extract the file name from URI returned from Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT?

The most condensed version:

public String getNameFromURI(Uri uri) {
    Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
    c.moveToFirst();
    return c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME));
}

How do you stylize a font in Swift?

A great resource is iosfonts.com, which says that the name for that font is HelveticaNeue-UltraLight. So you'd use this code:

label.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-UltraLight", size: 30)

If the system can't find the font, it defaults to a 'normal' font - I think it's something like 11-point Helvetica. This can be quite confusing, always check your font names.

check if a key exists in a bucket in s3 using boto3

If you seek a key that is equivalent to a directory then you might want this approach

session = boto3.session.Session()
resource = session.resource("s3")
bucket = resource.Bucket('mybucket')

key = 'dir-like-or-file-like-key'
objects = [o for o in bucket.objects.filter(Prefix=key).limit(1)]    
has_key = len(objects) > 0

This works for a parent key or a key that equates to file or a key that does not exist. I tried the favored approach above and failed on parent keys.

Simple CSS: Text won't center in a button

As a more brute force method that I found worked for me:

First wrap the text inside the button in a span, and then apply this css to that span

var spanStyle = {
      position: "absolute",
      top: "50%",
      left: "50%",
      transform: "translate(-50%, -50%)"

Why doesn't importing java.util.* include Arrays and Lists?

The difference between

import java.util.*;

and

import java.util.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Arrays;

becomes apparent when the code refers to some other List or Arrays (for example, in the same package, or also imported generally). In the first case, the compiler will assume that the Arrays declared in the same package is the one to use, in the latter, since it is declared specifically, the more specific java.util.Arrays will be used.

How do I keep CSS floats in one line?

Are you sure that floated block-level elements are the best solution to this problem?

Often with CSS difficulties in my experience it turns out that the reason I can't see a way of doing the thing I want is that I have got caught in a tunnel-vision with regard to my markup ( thinking "how can I make these elements do this?" ) rather than going back and looking at what exactly it is I need to achieve and maybe reworking my html slightly to facilitate that.

Entity Framework throws exception - Invalid object name 'dbo.BaseCs'

mySQL select IN range

You can't, but you can use BETWEEN

SELECT job FROM mytable WHERE id BETWEEN 10 AND 15

Note that BETWEEN is inclusive, and will include items with both id 10 and 15.

If you do not want inclusion, you'll have to fall back to using the > and < operators.

SELECT job FROM mytable WHERE id > 10 AND id < 15

python catch exception and continue try block

special_func to avoid try-except repetition:

def special_func(test_case_dict):
    final_dict = {}
    exception_dict = {}

    def try_except_avoider(test_case_dict):

        try:
            for k,v in test_case_dict.items():
                final_dict[k]=eval(v) #If no exception evaluate the function and add it to final_dict

        except Exception as e:
            exception_dict[k]=e #extract exception
            test_case_dict.pop(k)
            try_except_avoider(test_case_dict) #recursive function to handle remaining functions

        finally:  #cleanup
            final_dict.update(exception_dict)
            return final_dict #combine exception dict and  final dict

    return try_except_avoider(test_case_dict) 

Run code:

def add(a,b):
    return (a+b)
def sub(a,b):
    return (a-b)
def mul(a,b):
    return (a*b)

case = {"AddFunc":"add(8,8)","SubFunc":"sub(p,5)","MulFunc":"mul(9,6)"}
solution = special_func(case)

Output looks like:

{'AddFunc': 16, 'MulFunc': 54, 'SubFunc': NameError("name 'p' is not defined")}

To convert to variables:

locals().update(solution)

Variables would look like:

AddFunc = 16, MulFunc = 54, SubFunc = NameError("name 'p' is not defined")

Table with fixed header and fixed column on pure css

A co-worker and I have just released a new GitHub project that supplies an Angular directive that you can use to decorate your table with fixed headers: https://github.com/objectcomputing/FixedHeader

It relies on css and angular only, with a directive that adds some divs. There is no jQuery required.

This implementation isn't as fully-featured as some other implementations, but if your need is simply to add fixed tables, we think this might be a good option.

How to convert char* to wchar_t*?

You're returning the address of a local variable allocated on the stack. When your function returns, the storage for all local variables (such as wc) is deallocated and is subject to being immediately overwritten by something else.

To fix this, you can pass the size of the buffer to GetWC, but then you've got pretty much the same interface as mbstowcs itself. Or, you could allocate a new buffer inside GetWC and return a pointer to that, leaving it up to the caller to deallocate the buffer.

   height:100%;
}

Confirmed working on:

PHP header redirect 301 - what are the implications?

The effect of the 301 would be that the search engines will index /option-a instead of /option-x. Which is probably a good thing since /option-x is not reachable for the search index and thus could have a positive effect on the index. Only if you use this wisely ;-)

After the redirect put exit(); to stop the rest of the script to execute

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); 
header("Location: /option-a"); 
exit();

Java regex to extract text between tags

Try this:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(?<=\\<(any_tag)\\>)(\\s*.*\\s*)(?=\\<\\/(any_tag)\\>);
Matcher m = p.matcher(anyString);

For example:

String str = "<TR> <TD>1Q Ene</TD> <TD>3.08%</TD> </TR>";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(?<=\\<TD\\>)(\\s*.*\\s*)(?=\\<\\/TD\\>)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
while(m.find()){
   Log.e("Regex"," Regex result: " + m.group())       
}

Output:

How to use sbt from behind proxy?

To provide one answer that will work for all Windows-users:

Add the following to your sbtconfig.txt (C:\Program Files (x86)\sbt\conf)

-Dhttp.proxyHost=XXXXXXX -Dhttp.proxyPort=YYYY -Dhttp.proxySet=true -Dhttps.proxyHost=XXXXXXX -Dhttps.proxyPort=YYYY -Dhttps.proxySet=true

Replace both XXXXXXX with your proxyHost, and both YYYY with your proxyPort.

If you get the error "Could not find or load main class" you need to set your JAVA_HOME:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdkxxxxxx

Progra~1 = 'Program Files'

Progra~2 = 'Program Files(x86)'

html cellpadding the left side of a cell

This is what css is for... HTML doesn't allow for unequal padding. When you say that you don't want to use style sheets, does this mean you're OK with inline css?

<table>
    <tr>
        <td style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px;">Content</td>
        <td style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px;">Content</td>
    </tr>
</table>

You could also use JS to do this if you're desperate not to use stylesheets for some reason.

How can a Jenkins user authentication details be "passed" to a script which uses Jenkins API to create jobs?

You can easily do it without resizing yourself or doing anything, just choose your icon at an app store icon generator website https://getappscreenshots.com/app-icon-generator and it'll generate all required files and all icon sizes so you can just copy the files and paste in your project's folder!

show dbs gives "Not Authorized to execute command" error

one more, after you create user by following cmd-1, please assign read/write/root role to the user by cmd-2. then restart mongodb by cmd "mongod --auth".

The benefit of assign role to the user is you can do read/write operation by mongo shell or python/java and so on, otherwise you will meet "pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: not authorized" when you try to read/write your db.

cmd-1:

use admin
db.createUser({
  user: "newUsername",
  pwd: "password",
  roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
})

cmd-2:

db.grantRolesToUser('newUsername',[{ role: "root", db: "admin" }])

typescript - cloning object

If you already have the target object, so you don't want to create it anew (like if updating an array) you must copy the properties.
If have done it this way:

Object.keys(source).forEach((key) => {

})

Praise is due. (look at headline "version 2")

Order by descending date - month, day and year

If you restructured your date format into YYYY/MM/DD then you can use this simple string ordering to achieve the formating you need.

Alternatively, using the SUBSTR(store_name,start,length) command you should be able to restructure the sorting term into the above format

perhaps using the following

SELECT     *
FROM         vw_view
ORDER BY SUBSTR(EventDate,6,4) + SUBSTR(EventDate, 0, 5) DESC

Enabling the OpenSSL in XAMPP

Yes, you must open php.ini and remove the semicolon to:

;extension=php_openssl.dll

If you don't have that line, check that you have the file (In my PC is on D:\xampp\php\ext) and add this to php.ini in the "Dynamic Extensions" section:

extension=php_openssl.dll

Things have changed for PHP > 7. This is what i had to do for PHP 7.2.

Step: 1: Uncomment extension=openssl

Step: 2: Uncomment extension_dir = "ext"

Step: 3: Restart xampp.

Done.

Explanation: ( From php.ini )

If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following syntax:

extension=modulename

Note : The syntax used in previous PHP versions (extension=<ext>.so and extension='php_<ext>.dll) is supported for legacy reasons and may be deprecated in a future PHP major version. So, when it is possible, please move to the new (extension=<ext>) syntax.

Special Note: Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.

Angular pass callback function to child component as @Input similar to AngularJS way

The current answer can be simplified to...

@Component({
  ...
  template: '<child [myCallback]="theCallback"></child>',
  directives: [ChildComponent]
})
export class ParentComponent{
  public theCallback(){
    ...
  }
}

@Component({...})
export class ChildComponent{
  //This will be bound to the ParentComponent.theCallback
  @Input()
  public myCallback: Function; 
  ...
}

Is it possible to forward-declare a function in Python?

TL;DR: Python does not need forward declarations. Simply put your function calls inside function def definitions, and you'll be fine.

def foo(count):
    print("foo "+str(count))
    if(count>0):
        bar(count-1)

def bar(count):
    print("bar "+str(count))
    if(count>0):
        foo(count-1)

foo(3)
print("Finished.")

recursive function definitions, perfectly successfully gives:

foo 3
bar 2
foo 1
bar 0
Finished.

However,

bug(13)

def bug(count):
    print("bug never runs "+str(count))

print("Does not print this.")

breaks at the top-level invocation of a function that hasn't been defined yet, and gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test1.py", line 1, in <module>
    bug(13)
NameError: name 'bug' is not defined

Python is an interpreted language, like Lisp. It has no type checking, only run-time function invocations, which succeed if the function name has been bound and fail if it's unbound.

Critically, a function def definition does not execute any of the funcalls inside its lines, it simply declares what the function body is going to consist of. Again, it doesn't even do type checking. So we can do this:

def uncalled():
    wild_eyed_undefined_function()
    print("I'm not invoked!")

print("Only run this one line.")

and it runs perfectly fine (!), with output

Only run this one line.

The key is the difference between definitions and invocations.

The interpreter executes everything that comes in at the top level, which means it tries to invoke it. If it's not inside a definition.
Your code is running into trouble because you attempted to invoke a function, at the top level in this case, before it was bound.

The solution is to put your non-top-level function invocations inside a function definition, then call that function sometime much later.

The business about "if __ main __" is an idiom based on this principle, but you have to understand why, instead of simply blindly following it.

There are certainly much more advanced topics concerning lambda functions and rebinding function names dynamically, but these are not what the OP was asking for. In addition, they can be solved using these same principles: (1) defs define a function, they do not invoke their lines; (2) you get in trouble when you invoke a function symbol that's unbound.

How to get position of a certain element in strings vector, to use it as an index in ints vector?

To get a position of an element in a vector knowing an iterator pointing to the element, simply subtract v.begin() from the iterator:

ptrdiff_t pos = find(Names.begin(), Names.end(), old_name_) - Names.begin();

Now you need to check pos against Names.size() to see if it is out of bounds or not:

if(pos >= Names.size()) {
    //old_name_ not found
}

vector iterators behave in ways similar to array pointers; most of what you know about pointer arithmetic can be applied to vector iterators as well.

Starting with C++11 you can use std::distance in place of subtraction for both iterators and pointers:

ptrdiff_t pos = distance(Names.begin(), find(Names.begin(), Names.end(), old_name_));

Adding a parameter to the URL with JavaScript

Find provisioning profile in Xcode 5

It is not exactly for Xcode5 but this question links people who want to check where are provisioning profiles:
Following documentation https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/MaintainingCertificates/MaintainingCertificates.html

  1. Choose Xcode > Preferences.
  2. Click Accounts at the top of the window.
  3. Select the team you want to view, and click View Details. enter image description here In the dialog that appears, view your signing identities and provisioning profiles. If a Create button appears next to a certificate, it hasn’t been created yet. If a Download button appears next to a provisioning profile, it’s not on your Mac. enter image description here

The name does not exist in the namespace error in XAML

This happened to me already twice in a complex WPF app, in it there are 4 multi platform projects, 1 shared project, 2 support libraries, and 1 test project..

This very specific XAML namespace error happened twice on very recently modified files on the Shared project. In both of my cases, it was a new c# file added with a repeating namespace entry;

Like namespace MyProgram.MyFolder.MyProgram.MyFolder

I double pasted it once by mistake, and once it was due to JetBrains Rider double pasting the namespace. (If you ever rename a project in Rider, it time to time starts double pasting namespaces on new file creations, especially on Shared projects..). These c# files with repeating namespaces were then called in the ViewModels where XAML files were referencing to. Well you then get these unrelated and misleading errors, you can have a problem with one file, all your Xaml files will start erroring out eventually.

Anyways, if you get these kind of errors, it's most of the time an issue on a very newly added file or code change. My suggestions would be to look at your very recent changes.

How do I run a class in a WAR from the command line?

How to select a value in dropdown javascript?

Yes. As mentioned in the posts, value property is nonstandard and does not work with IE. You will need to use the selectedIndex property to achieve this. You can refer to the w3schools DOM reference to see the properties of HTML elements. The following link will give you the list of properties you can work with on the select element.

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_select.asp

Update

This was not supported during 2011 on IE. As commented by finnTheHuman, it is supported at present.

Using multiple case statements in select query

There are two ways to write case statements, you seem to be using a combination of the two

case a.updatedDate
    when 1760 then 'Entered on' + a.updatedDate
    when 1710 then 'Viewed on' + a.updatedDate
    else 'Last Updated on' + a.updateDate
end

or

case 
    when a.updatedDate = 1760 then 'Entered on' + a.updatedDate
    when a.updatedDate = 1710 then 'Viewed on' + a.updatedDate
    else 'Last Updated on' + a.updateDate
end

are equivalent. They may not work because you may need to convert date types to varchars to append them to other varchars.

How to remove underline from a name on hover

You can assign an id to the specific link and add CSS. See the steps below:

1.Add an id of your choice (must be a unique name; can only start with text, not a number):

<a href="/abc/xyz" id="smallLinkButton">def</a>
  1. Then add the necessary CSS as follows:

    #smallLinkButton:hover,active,visited{
    
          text-decoration: none;
          }
    

Is Java RegEx case-insensitive?

Yes, case insensitivity can be enabled and disabled at will in Java regex.

It looks like you want something like this:

    System.out.println(
        "Have a meRry MErrY Christmas ho Ho hO"
            .replaceAll("(?i)\\b(\\w+)(\\s+\\1)+\\b", "$1")
    );
    // Have a meRry Christmas ho

Note that the embedded Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE flag is (?i) not \?i. Note also that one superfluous \b has been removed from the pattern.

The (?i) is placed at the beginning of the pattern to enable case-insensitivity. In this particular case, it is not overridden later in the pattern, so in effect the whole pattern is case-insensitive.

It is worth noting that in fact you can limit case-insensitivity to only parts of the whole pattern. Thus, the question of where to put it really depends on the specification (although for this particular problem it doesn't matter since \w is case-insensitive.

To demonstrate, here's a similar example of collapsing runs of letters like "AaAaaA" to just "A".

    System.out.println(
        "AaAaaA eeEeeE IiiIi OoooOo uuUuUuu"
            .replaceAll("(?i)\\b([A-Z])\\1+\\b", "$1")
    ); // A e I O u

Now suppose that we specify that the run should only be collapsed only if it starts with an uppercase letter. Then we must put the (?i) in the appropriate place:

    System.out.println(
        "AaAaaA eeEeeE IiiIi OoooOo uuUuUuu"
            .replaceAll("\\b([A-Z])(?i)\\1+\\b", "$1")
    ); // A eeEeeE I O uuUuUuu

More generally, you can enable and disable any flag within the pattern as you wish.

How are ssl certificates verified?

It's worth noting that in addition to purchasing a certificate (as mentioned above), you can also create your own for free; this is referred to as a "self-signed certificate". The difference between a self-signed certificate and one that's purchased is simple: the purchased one has been signed by a Certificate Authority that your browser already knows about. In other words, your browser can easily validate the authenticity of a purchased certificate.

Unfortunately this has led to a common misconception that self-signed certificates are inherently less secure than those sold by commercial CA's like GoDaddy and Verisign, and that you have to live with browser warnings/exceptions if you use them; this is incorrect.

If you securely distribute a self-signed certificate (or CA cert, as bobince suggested) and install it in the browsers that will use your site, it's just as secure as one that's purchased and is not vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and cert forgery. Obviously this means that it's only feasible if only a few people need secure access to your site (e.g., internal apps, personal blogs, etc.).

What is context in _.each(list, iterator, [context])?

As explained in other answers, context is the this context to be used inside callback passed to each.

I'll explain this with the help of source code of relevant methods from underscore source code

The definition of _.each or _.forEach is as follows:

_.each = _.forEach = function(obj, iteratee, context) {
  iteratee = optimizeCb(iteratee, context);

  var i, length;
  if (isArrayLike(obj)) {
    for (i = 0, length = obj.length; i < length; i++) {
      iteratee(obj[i], i, obj);
    }
  } else {
    var keys = _.keys(obj);
    for (i = 0, length = keys.length; i < length; i++) {
      iteratee(obj[keys[i]], keys[i], obj);
    }
  }
  return obj;
};

Second statement is important to note here

iteratee = optimizeCb(iteratee, context);

Here, context is passed to another method optimizeCb and the returned function from it is then assigned to iteratee which is called later.

var optimizeCb = function(func, context, argCount) {
  if (context === void 0) return func;
  switch (argCount == null ? 3 : argCount) {
    case 1:
      return function(value) {
        return func.call(context, value);
      };
    case 2:
      return function(value, other) {
        return func.call(context, value, other);
      };
    case 3:
      return function(value, index, collection) {
        return func.call(context, value, index, collection);
      };
    case 4:
      return function(accumulator, value, index, collection) {
        return func.call(context, accumulator, value, index, collection);
      };
  }
  return function() {
    return func.apply(context, arguments);
  };
};

As can be seen from the above method definition of optimizeCb, if context is not passed then func is returned as it is. If context is passed, callback function is called as

func.call(context, other_parameters);
          ^^^^^^^

func is called with call() which is used to invoke a method by setting this context of it. So, when this is used inside func, it'll refer to context.

JavaScript Chart.js - Custom data formatting to display on tooltip

In Chart.Js 2.8.0, the configuration for custom tooltips can be found here: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/configuration/tooltip.html#label-callback (Thanks to @prokaktus)

If you want to e.g. show some values with a prefix or postfix (In the example, the script adds a unit of kWh to the values in the chart), you could do this like:

options: {
  rotation: 1 * Math.PI,
  circumference: 1 * Math.PI,
  tooltips: {
    callbacks: {
      label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
        console.log(data);
        console.log(tooltipItem);

        var label = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].data[tooltipItem.index] || '';

        if (label) {
          label += ' kWh';
        }

        return label;
      }
    }
  }
}

How to make a 3-level collapsing menu in Bootstrap?

Bootstrap 2.3.x and later supports the dropdown-submenu..

<ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Login</a></li>

Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer

In Visual Studio 2010 the default browser gets reset often (just about every time an IDE setting is changed or even after restarting Visual Studio). There is now a default browser selector extension for 2010 to help combat this:

!!!Update!!! It appears that the WoVS Default Browser Switcher is no longer available for free according to @Cory. You might try Default Browser Changer instead but I have not tested it. If you already have the WoVS plugin I would recommend backing it up so that you can install it later.

The following solution may no longer work:

WoVS Default Browser Switcher: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/bb424812-f742-41ef-974a-cdac607df921

WoVS Default Browser Switcher

Edit: This works with ASP.NET MVC applications as well.

Note: One negative side effect of installing this extension is that it seems to nag to be updated about once a month. This has caused some to uninstall it because, to them, its more bothersome then the problem it fixes. Regardless it is easily updated through the extension manager and I still find it very useful.

You will see the following error when starting VS:

The Default Browser Switcher beta bits have expired. Please use the Extension Manager or visit the VS Gallery to download updated bits.

Scroll to the top of the page after render in react.js

I had the same for problem for a while. Adding window.scrollTo(0, 0);to every page is painful and redundant. So i added a HOC which will wrap all my routes and it will stay inside BrowserRouter component:

 <ScrollTop>
    <Routes />
  </ScrollTop>

Inside ScrollTopComponent we have the following:

import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";

const ScrollTop = (props) => {
  const { children } = props;

  const location = useLocation();

  useEffect(() => {
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
  }, [location]);

  return <main>{children}</main>;
};

export default ScrollTop;

VBA: Selecting range by variables

I recorded a macro with 'Relative References' and this is what I got :

Range("F10").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Range("A1:D11").Select

Heres what I thought : If the range selection is in quotes, VBA really wants a STRING and interprets the cells out of it so tried the following:

Dim MyRange as String
MyRange = "A1:D11"
Range(MyRange).Select

And it worked :) ie.. just create a string using your variables, make sure to dimension it as a STRING variables and Excel will read right off of it ;)

Following tested and found working :

Sub Macro04()

Dim Copyrange As String

Startrow = 1
Lastrow = 11
Let Copyrange = "A" & Startrow & ":" & "D" & Lastrow
Range(Copyrange).Select
End Sub

add to array if it isn't there already

Since you seem to only have scalar values an PHP’s array is rather a hash map, you could use the value as key to avoid duplicates and associate the $k keys to them to be able to get the original values:

$keys = array();
foreach ($array as $k => $v){
    if (isset($v['key'])) {
        $keys[$value] = $k;
    }
}

Then you just need to iterate it to get the original values:

$unique = array();
foreach ($keys as $key) {
    $unique[] = $array[$key]['key'];
}

This is probably not the most obvious and most comprehensive approach but it is very efficient as it is in O(n).

Using in_array instead like others suggested is probably more intuitive. But you would end up with an algorithm in O(n2) (in_array is in O(n)) that is not applicable. Even pushing all values in the array and using array_unique on it would be better than in_array (array_unique sorts the values in O(n·log n) and then removes successive duplicates).

Numpy isnan() fails on an array of floats (from pandas dataframe apply)

np.isnan can be applied to NumPy arrays of native dtype (such as np.float64):

In [99]: np.isnan(np.array([np.nan, 0], dtype=np.float64))
Out[99]: array([ True, False], dtype=bool)

but raises TypeError when applied to object arrays:

In [96]: np.isnan(np.array([np.nan, 0], dtype=object))
TypeError: ufunc 'isnan' not supported for the input types, and the inputs could not be safely coerced to any supported types according to the casting rule ''safe''

Since you have Pandas, you could use pd.isnull instead -- it can accept NumPy arrays of object or native dtypes:

In [97]: pd.isnull(np.array([np.nan, 0], dtype=float))
Out[97]: array([ True, False], dtype=bool)

In [98]: pd.isnull(np.array([np.nan, 0], dtype=object))
Out[98]: array([ True, False], dtype=bool)

Note that None is also considered a null value in object arrays.

Show hide div using codebehind

Hiding on the Client Side with javascript

Using plain old javascript, you can easily hide the same element in this manner:

var myDivElem = document.getElementById("myDiv");
myDivElem.style.display = "none";

Then to show again:

myDivElem.style.display = "";

jQuery makes hiding elements a little simpler if you prefer to use jQuery:

var myDiv = $("#<%=myDiv.ClientID%>");
myDiv.hide();

... and to show:

myDiv.show();

Mock functions in Go

Warning: This might inflate executable file size a little bit and cost a little runtime performance. IMO, this would be better if golang has such feature like macro or function decorator.

If you want to mock functions without changing its API, the easiest way is to change the implementation a little bit:

func getPage(url string) string {
  if GetPageMock != nil {
    return GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

func downloader() {
  if GetPageMock != nil {
    return GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

var GetPageMock func(url string) string = nil
var DownloaderMock func() = nil

This way we can actually mock one function out of the others. For more convenient we can provide such mocking boilerplate:

// download.go
func getPage(url string) string {
  if m.GetPageMock != nil {
    return m.GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

func downloader() {
  if m.GetPageMock != nil {
    return m.GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

type MockHandler struct {
  GetPage func(url string) string
  Downloader func()
}

var m *MockHandler = new(MockHandler)

func Mock(handler *MockHandler) {
  m = handler
}

In test file:

// download_test.go
func GetPageMock(url string) string {
  // ...
}

func TestDownloader(t *testing.T) {
  Mock(&MockHandler{
    GetPage: GetPageMock,
  })

  // Test implementation goes here!

  Mock(new(MockHandler)) // Reset mocked functions
}

How to know a Pod's own IP address from inside a container in the Pod?

Some clarifications (not really an answer)

In kubernetes, every pod gets assigned an IP address, and every container in the pod gets assigned that same IP address. Thus, as Alex Robinson stated in his answer, you can just use hostname -i inside your container to get the pod IP address.

I tested with a pod running two dumb containers, and indeed hostname -i was outputting the same IP address inside both containers. Furthermore, that IP was equivalent to the one obtained using kubectl describe pod from outside, which validates the whole thing IMO.

However, PiersyP's answer seems more clean to me.

Sources

From kubernetes docs:

The applications in a pod all use the same network namespace (same IP and port space), and can thus “find” each other and communicate using localhost. Because of this, applications in a pod must coordinate their usage of ports. Each pod has an IP address in a flat shared networking space that has full communication with other physical computers and pods across the network.

Another piece from kubernetes docs:

Until now this document has talked about containers. In reality, Kubernetes applies IP addresses at the Pod scope - containers within a Pod share their network namespaces - including their IP address. This means that containers within a Pod can all reach each other’s ports on localhost.

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

I had been using Ladislav Mrnka's answer to successfully retrieve Ids when using the Entity Framework however I am posting here because I had been miss-using it (i.e. using it where it wasn't required) and thought I would post my findings here in-case people are looking to "solve" the problem I had.

Consider an Order object that has foreign key relationship with Customer. When I added a new customer and a new order at the same time I was doing something like this;

var customer = new Customer(); //no Id yet;
var order = new Order(); //requires Customer.Id to link it to customer;
context.Customers.Add(customer);
context.SaveChanges();//this generates the Id for customer
order.CustomerId = customer.Id;//finally I can set the Id

However in my case this was not required because I had a foreign key relationship between customer.Id and order.CustomerId

All I had to do was this;

var customer = new Customer(); //no Id yet;
var order = new Order{Customer = customer}; 
context.Orders.Add(order);
context.SaveChanges();//adds customer.Id to customer and the correct CustomerId to order

Now when I save the changes the id that is generated for customer is also added to order. I've no need for the additional steps

I'm aware this doesn't answer the original question but thought it might help developers who are new to EF from over-using the top-voted answer for something that may not be required.

This also means that updates complete in a single transaction, potentially avoiding orphin data (either all updates complete, or none do).

Generating an MD5 checksum of a file

In Python 3.8+ you can do

import hashlib
with open("your_filename.txt", "rb") as f:
    file_hash = hashlib.md5()
    while chunk := f.read(8192):
        file_hash.update(chunk)

print(file_hash.digest())
print(file_hash.hexdigest())  # to get a printable str instead of bytes

Consider using hashlib.blake2b instead of md5 (just replace md5 with blake2b in the above snippet). It's cryptographically secure and faster than MD5.

OnclientClick and OnClick is not working at the same time?

There are two issues here:

Disabling the button on the client side prevents the postback

To overcome this, disable the button after the JavaScript onclick event. An easy way to do this is to use setTimeout as suggested by this answer.

Also, the OnClientClick code runs even if ASP.NET validation fails, so it's probably a good idea to add a check for Page_IsValid. This ensures that the button will not be disabled if validation fails.

OnClientClick="(function(button) { setTimeout(function () { if (Page_IsValid) button.disabled = true; }, 0); })(this);"

It's neater to put all of this JavaScript code in its own function as the question shows:

OnClientClick="disable(this);"

function disable(button) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        if (Page_IsValid)
            button.disabled = true;
    }, 0);
}

Disabling the button on the client side doesn't disable it on the server side

To overcome this, disable the button on the server side. For example, in the OnClick event handler:

OnClick="Button1_Click"

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ((Button)sender).Enabled = false;
}

Lastly, keep in mind that preventing duplicate button presses doesn't prevent two different users from submitting the same data at the same time. Make sure to account for that on the server side.

Why in C++ do we use DWORD rather than unsigned int?

SDK developers prefer to define their own types using typedef. This allows changing underlying types only in one place, without changing all client code. It is important to follow this convention. DWORD is unlikely to be changed, but types like DWORD_PTR are different on different platforms, like Win32 and x64. So, if some function has DWORD parameter, use DWORD and not unsigned int, and your code will be compiled in all future windows headers versions.

What is the difference between .*? and .* regular expressions?

It is the difference between greedy and non-greedy quantifiers.

Consider the input 101000000000100.

Using 1.*1, * is greedy - it will match all the way to the end, and then backtrack until it can match 1, leaving you with 1010000000001.
.*? is non-greedy. * will match nothing, but then will try to match extra characters until it matches 1, eventually matching 101.

All quantifiers have a non-greedy mode: .*?, .+?, .{2,6}?, and even .??.

In your case, a similar pattern could be <([^>]*)> - matching anything but a greater-than sign (strictly speaking, it matches zero or more characters other than > in-between < and >).

See Quantifier Cheat Sheet.

Reading DataSet

If this is from a SQL Server datebase you could issue this kind of query...

GetDate() could also be used, not sure how dates are being stored.

I am not sure how the data is being stored and/or read.

firestore: PERMISSION_DENIED: Missing or insufficient permissions

I also had the "Missing or insufficient permissions" error after specifying security rules. Turns out that the the rules are not recursive by default! i.e. if you wrote a rule like

match /users/{userId} {
  allow read, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId;
}

The rule will not apply to any subcollections under /users/{userId}. This was the reason for my error.

I fixed it by specifying the rule as:

match /users/{userId}/{document=**} {
  allow read, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId;
}

send bold & italic text on telegram bot with html

If you are using PHP you can use this, and I'm sure it's almost similar in other languages as well

$WebsiteURL = "https://api.telegram.org/bot".$BotToken;
$text = "<b>This</b> <i>is some Text</i>";
$Update = file_get_contents($WebsiteURL."/sendMessage?chat_id=$chat_id&text=$text&parse_mode=html);

echo $Update;

Here is the list of all tags that you can use

<b>bold</b>, <strong>bold</strong>
<i>italic</i>, <em>italic</em>
<a href="http://www.example.com/">inline URL</a>
<code>inline fixed-width code</code>
<pre>pre-formatted fixed-width code block</pre>

Nested jQuery.each() - continue/break

As is stated in the jQuery documentation http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/

return true in jQuery.each is the same as a continue

return false is the same as a break

Alternate background colors for list items

You can do it by specifying alternating class names on the rows. I prefer using row0 and row1, which means you can easily add them in, if the list is being built programmatically:

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) {
    echo '<tr class="row' . ($i % 2) . '">...</tr>';
}

Another way would be to use javascript. jQuery is being used in this example:

$('table tr:odd').addClass('row1');

Edit: I don't know why I gave examples using table rows... replace tr with li and table with ul and it applies to your example

How to make a Java Generic method static?

the only thing you can do is to change your signature to

public static <E> E[] appendToArray(E[] array, E item)

Important details:

Generic expressions preceding the return value always introduce (declare) a new generic type variable.

Additionally, type variables between types (ArrayUtils) and static methods (appendToArray) never interfere with each other.

So, what does this mean: In my answer <E> would hide the E from ArrayUtils<E> if the method wouldn't be static. AND <E> has nothing to do with the E from ArrayUtils<E>.

To reflect this fact better, a more correct answer would be:

public static <I> I[] appendToArray(I[] array, I item)

How can I get selector from jQuery object

Javascript code for the same, in case any one needs, as i needed it. This just the translation only of the above selected answer.

    var a = element;
    var els = [];
    while (a && a.nodeName != "#document") {
        els.unshift(a.nodeName);
        a = a.parentNode;
    }
    return els.join(" ");
}

function getJquerySelector(element){

    var selector = getAllParents(element);
    /* if(selector){
        selector += " " + element.nodeName;
    } */
    var id = element.getAttribute("id");
    if(id){
        selector += "#" + id;
    }
    var classNames = element.getAttribute("class");
    if(classNames){
        selector += "." + classNames.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '').replace(/\s/gi, ".");

What is the Java equivalent of PHP var_dump?

In my experience, var_dump is typically used for debugging PHP in place of a step-though debugger. In Java, you can of course use your IDE's debugger to see a visual representation of an object's contents.

C++ int to byte array

An int (or any other data type for that matter) is already stored as bytes in memory. So why not just copy the memory directly?

memcpy(arrayOfByte, &x, sizeof x);

A simple elegant one liner that will also work with any other data type.



If you need the bytes reversed you can use std::reverse

memcpy(arrayOfByte, &x, sizeof x);
std::reverse(arrayOfByte, arrayOfByte + sizeof x);

or better yet, just copy the bytes in reverse to begin with

BYTE* p = (BYTE*) &x;
std::reverse_copy(p, p + sizeof x, arrayOfByte);

If you don't want to make a copy of the data at all, and just have its byte representation

BYTE* bytes = (BYTE*) &x;

Encryption has not only cpu, but also some network overhead.

Split String by delimiter position using oracle SQL

Therefore, I would like to separate the string by the furthest delimiter.

I know this is an old question, but this is a simple requirement for which SUBSTR and INSTR would suffice. REGEXP are still slower and CPU intensive operations than the old subtsr and instr functions.

SQL> WITH DATA AS
  2    ( SELECT 'F/P/O' str FROM dual
  3    )
  4  SELECT SUBSTR(str, 1, Instr(str, '/', -1, 1) -1) part1,
  5         SUBSTR(str, Instr(str, '/', -1, 1) +1) part2
  6  FROM DATA
  7  /

PART1 PART2
----- -----
F/P   O

As you said you want the furthest delimiter, it would mean the first delimiter from the reverse.

You approach was fine, but you were missing the start_position in INSTR. If the start_position is negative, the INSTR function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string and then searches towards the beginning of string.

getting the table row values with jquery

Here is a working example. I changed the code to output to a div instead of an alert box. Your issue was item.innerHTML I believe. I use the jQuery html function instead and that seemed to resolve the issue.

<table id='thisTable' class='disptable' style='margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;'  >
    <tr>

   <th>Fund</th>
   <th>Organization</th>
   <th>Access</th>
   <th>Delete</th>
   </tr>
    <tr>
   <td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>10110</td><td>OWNED</td><td><a  class='delbtn'ref='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>67130</td><td>OWNED</td><td><a class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>170252</td><td class='org'>67130</td><td>OWNED</td><td><a class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>67150</td><td>PENDING ACCESS</td><td><a  class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>67120</td><td>PENDING ACCESS</td><td><a class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a>
   </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<div id="output"></div>?

the javascript:

$('#thisTable tr').on('click', function(event) {    
    var tds = $(this).addClass('row-highlight').find('td');
    var values = '';
    tds.each(function(index, item) {           
        values = values + 'td' + (index + 1) + ':' + $(item).html() + '<br/>';
    });
    $("#output").html(values);
});

just select '0' as the value for the desired column

Remove a fixed prefix/suffix from a string in Bash

Small and universal solution:

expr "$string" : "$prefix\(.*\)$suffix"

In Perl, what is the difference between a .pm (Perl module) and .pl (Perl script) file?

A .pl is a single script.

In .pm (Perl Module) you have functions that you can use from other Perl scripts:

A Perl module is a self-contained piece of Perl code that can be used by a Perl program or by other Perl modules. It is conceptually similar to a C link library, or a C++ class.

Java OCR implementation

There are a variety of OCR libraries out there. However, my experience is that the major commercial implementations, ABBYY, Omnipage, and ReadIris, far outdo the open-source or other minor implementations. These commercial libraries are not primarily designed to work with Java, though of course it is possible.

Of course, if your interest is to learn the code, the open-source implementations will do the trick.

Javascript string/integer comparisons

You can use Number() function also since it converts the object argument to a number that represents the object's value.

Eg: javascript:alert( Number("2") > Number("10"))

How do I make a <div> move up and down when I'm scrolling the page?

Here is the Jquery Code

$(document).ready(function () {
     var el = $('#Container');
        var originalelpos = el.offset().top; // take it where it originally is on the page

        //run on scroll
        $(window).scroll(function () {
            var el = $('#Container'); // important! (local)
            var elpos = el.offset().top; // take current situation
            var windowpos = $(window).scrollTop();
            var finaldestination = windowpos + originalelpos;
            el.stop().animate({ 'top': finaldestination }, 1000);
        });
    });

How can I disable notices and warnings in PHP within the .htaccess file?

I used ini_set('display_errors','off'); and it worked great.

How to generate a random string of 20 characters

Here you go. Just specify the chars you want to allow on the first line.

char[] chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".toCharArray();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(20);
Random random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    char c = chars[random.nextInt(chars.length)];
    sb.append(c);
}
String output = sb.toString();
System.out.println(output);

If you are using this to generate something sensitive like a password reset URL or session ID cookie or temporary password reset, be sure to use java.security.SecureRandom instead. Values produced by java.util.Random and java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom are mathematically predictable.

What are all the differences between src and data-src attributes?

The first <img /> is invalid - src is a required attribute. data-src is an attribute than can be leveraged by, say, JavaScript, but has no presentational meaning.

Error "library not found for" after putting application in AdMob

@raurora's answer pointed me in the right direction. I was including libraries in my "watchkitapp Extension/lib" path. In this case, the Library Search Path needed to be escaped with a '\', but the linker didn't seem to understand this. To fix / work-around the issue, I moved my lib path up one level so it was no longer in a directory that contained a space in the name.

well, you can try the javascript plugin which can monitor the browser connection in real time and notifies the user if internet or the browsers connection with the internet went down.

Wiremonkey Javascript plugin and the demo you can find here

jQuery: load txt file and insert into div

You need to add a dataType - http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#lesen").click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            url : "helloworld.txt",
            dataType: "text",
            success : function (data) {
                $(".text").html(data);
            }
        });
    });
}); 

"echo -n" prints "-n"

I believe right now your output printing as below

~ echo -e "String1\nString2"
String1
String2

You can use xargs to get multiline stdout into same line.

 ~ echo -e "String1\nString2" | xargs
String1 String2

How to remove an appended element with Jquery and why bind or live is causing elements to repeat

If I understand your question correctly, I've made a fiddle that has this working correctly. This issue is with how you're assigning the event handlers and as others have said you have over riding event handlers. The current jQuery best practice is to use on() to register event handlers. Here's a link to the jQuery docs about on: link

Your original solution was pretty close but the way you added the event handlers is a bit confusing. It's considered best practice to not add events to HTML elements. I recommend reading up on Unobstrusive JavaScript.

Here's the JavaScript code. I added a counter variable so you can see that it is working correctly.

$('#answer').on('click', function() {
  feedback('hey there');
});

var counter = 0;

function feedback(message) {

  $('#feedback').remove();

  $('.answers').append('<div id="feedback">' + message + ' ' + counter + '</div>');

  counter++;    
}

Read HttpContent in WebApi controller

By design the body content in ASP.NET Web API is treated as forward-only stream that can be read only once.

The first read in your case is being done when Web API is binding your model, after that the Request.Content will not return anything.

You can remove the contact from your action parameters, get the content and deserialize it manually into object (for example with Json.NET):

[HttpPut]
public HttpResponseMessage Put(int accountId)
{
    HttpContent requestContent = Request.Content;
    string jsonContent = requestContent.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
    CONTACT contact = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<CONTACT>(jsonContent);
    ...
}

That should do the trick (assuming that accountId is URL parameter so it will not be treated as content read).

How to get UTC+0 date in Java 8?

In java8, I would use the Instant class which is already in UTC and is convenient to work with.

import java.time.Instant;

Instant ins = Instant.now();
long ts = ins.toEpochMilli();

Instant ins2 = Instant.ofEpochMilli(ts)

Alternatively, you can use the following:

import java.time.*;

Instant ins = Instant.now(); 

OffsetDateTime odt = ins.atOffset(ZoneOffset.UTC);
ZonedDateTime zdt = ins.atZone(ZoneId.of("UTC"));

Back to Instant

Instant ins4 = Instant.from(odt);

Clear text area

Use $('textarea').val('').

The problem with using $('textarea').text('') , or $('textarea').html('') for that matter is that it will only erase what was in the original DOM sent by the server. If a user clears it and then enters new input, the clear button will no longer work. Using .val('') handles the user input case properly.

Convert alphabet letters to number in Python

def letter_to_int(letter):
    alphabet = list('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
    return alphabet.index(letter) + 1

here, the index (x) function returns the position value of x if the list contains x.

Push method in React Hooks (useState)?

You can append array of Data at the end of custom state:

  const [vehicleData, setVehicleData] = React.useState<any[]>([]);
  setVehicleData(old => [...old, ...newArrayData]);

For example, In below, you appear an example of axios:

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      const result = await axios(
        {
          url: `http://localhost:4000/api/vehicle?page=${page + 1}&pageSize=10`,
          method: 'get',
        }
      );
      setVehicleData(old => [...old, ...result.data.data]);
    };

    fetchData();
  }, [page]);

Java 8 - Difference between Optional.flatMap and Optional.map

Note:- below is the illustration of map and flatmap function, otherwise Optional is primarily designed to be used as a return type only.

As you already may know Optional is a kind of container which may or may not contain a single object, so it can be used wherever you anticipate a null value(You may never see NPE if use Optional properly). For example if you have a method which expects a person object which may be nullable you may want to write the method something like this:

void doSome(Optional<Person> person){
  /*and here you want to retrieve some property phone out of person
    you may write something like this:
  */
  Optional<String> phone = person.map((p)->p.getPhone());
  phone.ifPresent((ph)->dial(ph));
}
class Person{
  private String phone;
  //setter, getters
}

Here you have returned a String type which is automatically wrapped in an Optional type.

If person class looked like this, i.e. phone is also Optional

class Person{
  private Optional<String> phone;
  //setter,getter
}

In this case invoking map function will wrap the returned value in Optional and yield something like:

Optional<Optional<String>> 
//And you may want Optional<String> instead, here comes flatMap

void doSome(Optional<Person> person){
  Optional<String> phone = person.flatMap((p)->p.getPhone());
  phone.ifPresent((ph)->dial(ph));
}

PS; Never call get method (if you need to) on an Optional without checking it with isPresent() unless you can't live without NullPointerExceptions.

How can we programmatically detect which iOS version is device running on?

[[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue]

I keep getting this error for my simple python program: "TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer"

range() can only work with integers, but dividing with the / operator always results in a float value:

>>> 450 / 10
45.0
>>> range(450 / 10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

Make the value an integer again:

for i in range(int(c / 10)):

or use the // floor division operator:

for i in range(c // 10):

How to set the action for a UIBarButtonItem in Swift

As of Swift 2.2, there is a special syntax for compiler-time checked selectors. It uses the syntax: #selector(methodName).

Swift 3 and later:

var b = UIBarButtonItem(
    title: "Continue",
    style: .plain,
    target: self,
    action: #selector(sayHello(sender:))
)

func sayHello(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
}

If you are unsure what the method name should look like, there is a special version of the copy command that is very helpful. Put your cursor somewhere in the base method name (e.g. sayHello) and press Shift+Control+Option+C. That puts the ‘Symbol Name’ on your keyboard to be pasted. If you also hold Command it will copy the ‘Qualified Symbol Name’ which will include the type as well.

Swift 2.3:

var b = UIBarButtonItem(
    title: "Continue",
    style: .Plain,
    target: self,
    action: #selector(sayHello(_:))
)

func sayHello(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
}

This is because the first parameter name is not required in Swift 2.3 when making a method call.

You can learn more about the syntax on swift.org here: https://swift.org/blog/swift-2-2-new-features/#compile-time-checked-selectors

Declaring a python function with an array parameters and passing an array argument to the function call?

Maybe you want unpack elements of array, I don't know if I got it, but below a example:

def my_func(*args):
    for a in args:
        print a

my_func(*[1,2,3,4])
my_list = ['a','b','c']
my_func(*my_list)
