Youtube iframe wmode issue

If you are using the new asynchronous API, you will need to add the parameter like so:

<!-- YOUTUBE -->
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "http://www.youtube.com/player_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
//    after the API code downloads.
var player;
var initialVideo = 'ApkM4t9L5jE'; // YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEO ID
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
    console.log("onYouTubePlayerAPIReady" + initialVideo);
    player = new YT.Player('player', {
      height: '381',
      width: '681',
      wmode: 'transparent', // SECRET SAUCE HERE
      videoId: initialVideo,      
       playerVars: { 'autoplay': 1, 'rel': 0, 'wmode':'transparent' },
      events: {
        'onReady': onPlayerReady,
        'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
      }
    });
}

This is based on the google documentation and example here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/iframe_api_reference.html

differences between using wmode="transparent", "opaque", or "window" for an embedded object on a webpage

One bizarre thing is that in Chrome + Firefox, the MOUSE_LEAVE event isn't dispatched for OPAQUE and TRANSPARENT.

With WINDOW it works fine. That one took some time to find out! grr...

(note: jediericb mentioned this bug - which is similar but doesn't mention MOUSE_LEAVE)

Java: Check the date format of current string is according to required format or not

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
formatter.setLenient(false);
try {
    Date date= formatter.parse("02/03/2010");
} catch (ParseException e) {
    //If input date is in different format or invalid.
}

formatter.setLenient(false) will enforce strict matching.

If you are using Joda-Time -

private boolean isValidDate(String dateOfBirth) {
        boolean valid = true;
        try {
            DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");
            DateTime dob = formatter.parseDateTime(dateOfBirth);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            valid = false;
        }
        return valid;
    }

The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client

We had the same problem, because the Oracle.Data.dll assembly on a network share was updated by our DBA's. Removing the reference from the project, and adding it again solved the problem.

How to remove multiple indexes from a list at the same time?

If you can use numpy, then you can delete multiple indices:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(10)
>>> np.delete(a,(1,3,5))
array([0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9])

and if you use np.r_ you can combine slices with individual indices:

>>> np.delete(a,(np.r_[0:5,7,9]))
array([5, 6, 8])

However, the deletion is not in place, so you have to assign to it.

PHP/MySQL Insert null values

I think you need quotes around your {$row['null_field']}, so '{$row['null_field']}'

If you don't have the quotes, you'll occasionally end up with an insert statement that looks like this: insert into table2 (f1, f2) values ('val1',) which is a syntax error.

If that is a numeric field, you will have to do some testing above it, and if there is no value in null_field, explicitly set it to null..

How to enable external request in IIS Express?

There are three changes you might need to make.

  1. Tell IIS Express itself to bind to all ip addresses and hostnames. In your .config file. Typically:
    • VS 2015: $(solutionDir)\.vs\config\applicationhost.config
    • < VS 2015: %userprofile%\My Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

Find your site's binding element, and add

    <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:8080:*" />
  1. Setup the bit of Windows called 'http.sys'. As an administrator, run the command:
    netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8080/ user=everyone

Where everyone is a windows group. Use double quotes for groups with spaces like "Tout le monde".

  1. Allow IIS Express through Windows firewall.

    Start / Windows Firewall with Advanced Security / Inbound Rules / New Rule...

    Program %ProgramFiles%\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe
    OR Port 8080 TCP

Now when you start iisexpress.exe you should see a message such as

Successfully registered URL "http://*:8080/" for site "hello world" application "/"

FPDF utf-8 encoding (HOW-TO)

Not sure if it will do for Greek, but I had the same issue for Brazilian Portuguese characters and my solution was to use html entities. I had basically two cases:

  1. String may contain UTF-8 characters.

For these, I first encoded it to html entities with htmlentities() and then decoded them to iso-8859-1. Example:

$s = html_entity_decode(htmlentities($my_variable_text), ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401, 'iso-8859-1');
  1. Fixed string with html entities:

For these, I just left htmlentities() call out. Example:

$s = html_entity_decode("Treasurer/Tr&eacute;sorier", ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401, 'iso-8859-1');

Then I passed $s to FPDF, like in this example:

$pdf->Cell(100, 20, $s, 0, 0, 'L');

Note: ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401 is the standard value for parameter #2, as in http://php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php

Hope that helps.

Passing A List Of Objects Into An MVC Controller Method Using jQuery Ajax

Using NickW's suggestion, I was able to get this working using things = JSON.stringify({ 'things': things }); Here is the complete code.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var things = [
        { id: 1, color: 'yellow' },
        { id: 2, color: 'blue' },
        { id: 3, color: 'red' }
    ];      

    things = JSON.stringify({ 'things': things });

    $.ajax({
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        dataType: 'json',
        type: 'POST',
        url: '/Home/PassThings',
        data: things,
        success: function () {          
            $('#result').html('"PassThings()" successfully called.');
        },
        failure: function (response) {          
            $('#result').html(response);
        }
    }); 
});


public void PassThings(List<Thing> things)
{
    var t = things;
}

public class Thing
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Color { get; set; }
}

There are two things I learned from this:

  1. The contentType and dataType settings are absolutely necessary in the ajax() function. It won't work if they are missing. I found this out after much trial and error.

  2. To pass in an array of objects to an MVC controller method, simply use the JSON.stringify({ 'things': things }) format.

I hope this helps someone else!

printf formatting (%d versus %u)

The difference is simple: they cause different warning messages to be emitted when compiling:

1156942.c:7:31: warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type ‘int *’ [-Wformat=]
     printf("memory address = %d\n", &a); // prints "memory add=-12"
                               ^
1156942.c:8:31: warning: format ‘%u’ expects argument of type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘int *’ [-Wformat=]
     printf("memory address = %u\n", &a); // prints "memory add=65456"
                               ^

If you pass your pointer as a void* and use %p as the conversion specifier, then you get no error message:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int a = 5;
    // check the memory address
    printf("memory address = %d\n", &a); /* wrong */
    printf("memory address = %u\n", &a); /* wrong */
    printf("memory address = %p\n", (void*)&a); /* right */
}

Getting Error "Form submission canceled because the form is not connected"

Quick answer : append the form to the body.

document.body.appendChild(form);

Or, if you're using jQuery as above: $(document.body).append(form);

Details : According to the HTML standards, if the form is not associated to the browsing context(document), the form submission will be aborted.

HTML SPEC see 4.10.21.3.2

In Chrome 56, this spec was applied.

Chrome code diff see @@ -347,9 +347,16 @@

P.S about your question #1. In my opinion, unlike ajax, form submission causes instant page move.
So, showing 'deprecated warning message' is almost impossible.
I also think it's unacceptable that this serious change is not included in the feature change list. Chrome 56 features - www.chromestatus.com/features#milestone%3D56

How to SUM two fields within an SQL query

SUM is an aggregate function. It will calculate the total for each group. + is used for calculating two or more columns in a row.

Consider this example,

ID  VALUE1  VALUE2
===================
1   1       2
1   2       2
2   3       4
2   4       5

 

SELECT  ID, SUM(VALUE1), SUM(VALUE2)
FROM    tableName
GROUP   BY ID

will result

ID, SUM(VALUE1), SUM(VALUE2)
1   3           4
2   7           9

 

SELECT  ID, VALUE1 + VALUE2
FROM    TableName

will result

ID, VALUE1 + VALUE2
1   3
1   4
2   7
2   9

 

SELECT  ID, SUM(VALUE1 + VALUE2)
FROM    tableName
GROUP   BY ID

will result

ID, SUM(VALUE1 + VALUE2)
1   7
2   16

Rails: How does the respond_to block work?

From what I know, respond_to is a method attached to the ActionController, so you can use it in every single controller, because all of them inherits from the ActionController. Here is the Rails respond_to method:

def respond_to(&block)
  responder = Responder.new(self)
  block.call(responder)
  responder.respond
end

You are passing it a block, like I show here:

respond_to <<**BEGINNING OF THE BLOCK**>> do |format|
  format.html
  format.xml  { render :xml => @whatever }
end <<**END OF THE BLOCK**>>

The |format| part is the argument that the block is expecting, so inside the respond_to method we can use that. How?

Well, if you notice we pass the block with a prefixed & in the respond_to method, and we do that to treat that block as a Proc. Since the argument has the ".xml", ".html" we can use that as methods to be called.

What we basically do in the respond_to class is call methods ".html, .xml, .json" to an instance of a Responder class.

Adding +1 to a variable inside a function

points is not within the function's scope. You can grab a reference to the variable by using nonlocal:

points = 0
def test():

    points += 1

If points inside test() should refer to the outermost (module) scope, use global:

points = 0
def test():
    global points
    points += 1

How do I use namespaces with TypeScript external modules?

Candy Cup Analogy

Version 1: A cup for every candy

Let's say you wrote some code like this:

Mod1.ts

export namespace A {
    export class Twix { ... }
}

Mod2.ts

export namespace A {
    export class PeanutButterCup { ... }
}

Mod3.ts

export namespace A {
     export class KitKat { ... }
}

You've created this setup: enter image description here

Each module (sheet of paper) gets its own cup named A. This is useless - you're not actually organizing your candy here, you're just adding an additional step (taking it out of the cup) between you and the treats.


Version 2: One cup in the global scope

If you weren't using modules, you might write code like this (note the lack of export declarations):

global1.ts

namespace A {
    export class Twix { ... }
}

global2.ts

namespace A {
    export class PeanutButterCup { ... }
}

global3.ts

namespace A {
     export class KitKat { ... }
}

This code creates a merged namespace A in the global scope:

enter image description here

This setup is useful, but doesn't apply in the case of modules (because modules don't pollute the global scope).


Version 3: Going cupless

Going back to the original example, the cups A, A, and A aren't doing you any favors. Instead, you could write the code as:

Mod1.ts

export class Twix { ... }

Mod2.ts

export class PeanutButterCup { ... }

Mod3.ts

export class KitKat { ... }

to create a picture that looks like this:

enter image description here

Much better!

Now, if you're still thinking about how much you really want to use namespace with your modules, read on...


These Aren't the Concepts You're Looking For

We need to go back to the origins of why namespaces exist in the first place and examine whether those reasons make sense for external modules.

Organization: Namespaces are handy for grouping together logically-related objects and types. For example, in C#, you're going to find all the collection types in System.Collections. By organizing our types into hierarchical namespaces, we provide a good "discovery" experience for users of those types.

Name Conflicts: Namespaces are important to avoid naming collisions. For example, you might have My.Application.Customer.AddForm and My.Application.Order.AddForm -- two types with the same name, but a different namespace. In a language where all identifiers exist in the same root scope and all assemblies load all types, it's critical to have everything be in a namespace.

Do those reasons make sense in external modules?

Organization: External modules are already present in a file system, necessarily. We have to resolve them by path and filename, so there's a logical organization scheme for us to use. We can have a /collections/generic/ folder with a list module in it.

Name Conflicts: This doesn't apply at all in external modules. Within a module, there's no plausible reason to have two objects with the same name. From the consumption side, the consumer of any given module gets to pick the name that they will use to refer to the module, so accidental naming conflicts are impossible.


Even if you don't believe that those reasons are adequately addressed by how modules work, the "solution" of trying to use namespaces in external modules doesn't even work.

Boxes in Boxes in Boxes

A story:

Your friend Bob calls you up. "I have a great new organization scheme in my house", he says, "come check it out!". Neat, let's go see what Bob has come up with.

You start in the kitchen and open up the pantry. There are 60 different boxes, each labelled "Pantry". You pick a box at random and open it. Inside is a single box labelled "Grains". You open up the "Grains" box and find a single box labelled "Pasta". You open the "Pasta" box and find a single box labelled "Penne". You open this box and find, as you expect, a bag of penne pasta.

Slightly confused, you pick up an adjacent box, also labelled "Pantry". Inside is a single box, again labelled "Grains". You open up the "Grains" box and, again, find a single box labelled "Pasta". You open the "Pasta" box and find a single box, this one is labelled "Rigatoni". You open this box and find... a bag of rigatoni pasta.

"It's great!" says Bob. "Everything is in a namespace!".

"But Bob..." you reply. "Your organization scheme is useless. You have to open up a bunch of boxes to get to anything, and it's not actually any more convenient to find anything than if you had just put everything in one box instead of three. In fact, since your pantry is already sorted shelf-by-shelf, you don't need the boxes at all. Why not just set the pasta on the shelf and pick it up when you need it?"

"You don't understand -- I need to make sure that no one else puts something that doesn't belong in the 'Pantry' namespace. And I've safely organized all my pasta into the Pantry.Grains.Pasta namespace so I can easily find it"

Bob is a very confused man.

Modules are Their Own Box

You've probably had something similar happen in real life: You order a few things on Amazon, and each item shows up in its own box, with a smaller box inside, with your item wrapped in its own packaging. Even if the interior boxes are similar, the shipments are not usefully "combined".

Going with the box analogy, the key observation is that external modules are their own box. It might be a very complex item with lots of functionality, but any given external module is its own box.


Guidance for External Modules

Now that we've figured out that we don't need to use 'namespaces', how should we organize our modules? Some guiding principles and examples follow.

Export as close to top-level as possible

  • If you're only exporting a single class or function, use export default:

MyClass.ts

export default class SomeType {
  constructor() { ... }
}

MyFunc.ts

function getThing() { return 'thing'; }
export default getThing;

Consumption

import t from './MyClass';
import f from './MyFunc';
var x = new t();
console.log(f());

This is optimal for consumers. They can name your type whatever they want (t in this case) and don't have to do any extraneous dotting to find your objects.

  • If you're exporting multiple objects, put them all at top-level:

MyThings.ts

export class SomeType { ... }
export function someFunc() { ... }

Consumption

import * as m from './MyThings';
var x = new m.SomeType();
var y = m.someFunc();
  • If you're exporting a large number of things, only then should you use the module/namespace keyword:

MyLargeModule.ts

export namespace Animals {
  export class Dog { ... }
  export class Cat { ... }
}
export namespace Plants {
  export class Tree { ... }
}

Consumption

import { Animals, Plants} from './MyLargeModule';
var x = new Animals.Dog();

Red Flags

All of the following are red flags for module structuring. Double-check that you're not trying to namespace your external modules if any of these apply to your files:

  • A file whose only top-level declaration is export module Foo { ... } (remove Foo and move everything 'up' a level)
  • A file that has a single export class or export function that isn't export default
  • Multiple files that have the same export module Foo { at top-level (don't think that these are going to combine into one Foo!)

How can I do string interpolation in JavaScript?

Expanding on Greg Kindel's second answer, you can write a function to eliminate some of the boilerplate:

var fmt = {
    join: function() {
        return Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments).join(' ');
    },
    log: function() {
        console.log(this.join(...arguments));
    }
}

Usage:

var age = 7;
var years = 5;
var sentence = fmt.join('I am now', age, 'years old!');
fmt.log('In', years, 'years I will be', age + years, 'years old!');

How to style SVG <g> element?

I know its long after this question was asked and answered - and I am sure that the accepted solution is right, but the purist in me would rather not add an extra element to the SVG when I can achieve the same or similar with straight CSS.

Whilst it is true that you cannot style the g container element in most ways - you can definitely add an outline to it and style that - even changing it on hover of the g - as shown in the snippet.

It not as good in one regard as the other way - you can put the outline box around the grouped elements - but not a background behind it. Sot its not perfect and won't solve the issue for everyone - but I would rather have the outline done with css than have to add extra elements to the code just to provide styling hooks.

And this method definitely allows you to show grouping of related objects in your SVG's.

Just a thought.

How to change default text color using custom theme?

In your Manifest you need to reference the name of the style that has the text color item inside it. Right now you are just referencing an empty style. So in your theme.xml do only this style:

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
</style>

And keep you reference to in the Manifest the same (android:theme="@style/Theme")

EDIT:

theme.xml:

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">12dp</item>
</style>

Manifest:

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/MyTheme">

Notice I combine the text color and size into the same style. Also, I changed the name of the theme to MyTheme and am now referencing that in the Manifest. And I changed to @android:style/TextAppearance for the parent value.

get user timezone

Just as Oded has answered. You need to have this sort of detection functionality in javascript.

I've struggled with this myself and realized that the offset is not enough. It does not give you any information about daylight saving for example. I ended up writing some code to map to zoneinfo database keys.

By checking several dates around a year you can more accurately determine a timezone.

Try the script here: http://jsfiddle.net/pellepim/CsNcf/

Simply change your system timezone and click run to test it. If you are running chrome you need to do each test in a new tab though (and safar needs to be restarted to pick up timezone changes).

If you want more details of the code check out: https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect/

Difference between array_map, array_walk and array_filter

The other answers demonstrate the difference between array_walk (in-place modification) and array_map (return modified copy) quite well. However, they don't really mention array_reduce, which is an illuminating way to understand array_map and array_filter.

The array_reduce function takes an array, a two-argument function and an 'accumulator', like this:

array_reduce(array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'),
             'my_function',
             $accumulator)

The array's elements are combined with the accumulator one at a time, using the given function. The result of the above call is the same as doing this:

my_function(
  my_function(
    my_function(
      my_function(
        $accumulator,
        'a'),
      'b'),
    'c'),
  'd')

If you prefer to think in terms of loops, it's like doing the following (I've actually used this as a fallback when array_reduce wasn't available):

function array_reduce($array, $function, $accumulator) {
  foreach ($array as $element) {
    $accumulator = $function($accumulator, $element);
  }
  return $accumulator;
}

This looping version makes it clear why I've called the third argument an 'accumulator': we can use it to accumulate results through each iteration.

So what does this have to do with array_map and array_filter? It turns out that they're both a particular kind of array_reduce. We can implement them like this:

array_map($function, $array)    === array_reduce($array, $MAP,    array())
array_filter($array, $function) === array_reduce($array, $FILTER, array())

Ignore the fact that array_map and array_filter take their arguments in a different order; that's just another quirk of PHP. The important point is that the right-hand-side is identical except for the functions I've called $MAP and $FILTER. So, what do they look like?

$MAP = function($accumulator, $element) {
  $accumulator[] = $function($element);
  return $accumulator;
};

$FILTER = function($accumulator, $element) {
  if ($function($element)) $accumulator[] = $element;
  return $accumulator;
};

As you can see, both functions take in the $accumulator and return it again. There are two differences in these functions:

  • $MAP will always append to $accumulator, but $FILTER will only do so if $function($element) is TRUE.
  • $FILTER appends the original element, but $MAP appends $function($element).

Note that this is far from useless trivia; we can use it to make our algorithms more efficient!

We can often see code like these two examples:

// Transform the valid inputs
array_map('transform', array_filter($inputs, 'valid'))

// Get all numeric IDs
array_filter(array_map('get_id', $inputs), 'is_numeric')

Using array_map and array_filter instead of loops makes these examples look quite nice. However, it can be very inefficient if $inputs is large, since the first call (map or filter) will traverse $inputs and build an intermediate array. This intermediate array is passed straight into the second call, which will traverse the whole thing again, then the intermediate array will need to be garbage collected.

We can get rid of this intermediate array by exploiting the fact that array_map and array_filter are both examples of array_reduce. By combining them, we only have to traverse $inputs once in each example:

// Transform valid inputs
array_reduce($inputs,
             function($accumulator, $element) {
               if (valid($element)) $accumulator[] = transform($element);
               return $accumulator;
             },
             array())

// Get all numeric IDs
array_reduce($inputs,
             function($accumulator, $element) {
               $id = get_id($element);
               if (is_numeric($id)) $accumulator[] = $id;
               return $accumulator;
             },
             array())

NOTE: My implementations of array_map and array_filter above won't behave exactly like PHP's, since my array_map can only handle one array at a time and my array_filter won't use "empty" as its default $function. Also, neither will preserve keys.

It's not difficult to make them behave like PHP's, but I felt that these complications would make the core idea harder to spot.

Pandas df.to_csv("file.csv" encode="utf-8") still gives trash characters for minus sign

Your "bad" output is UTF-8 displayed as CP1252.

On Windows, many editors assume the default ANSI encoding (CP1252 on US Windows) instead of UTF-8 if there is no byte order mark (BOM) character at the start of the file. While a BOM is meaningless to the UTF-8 encoding, its UTF-8-encoded presence serves as a signature for some programs. For example, Microsoft Office's Excel requires it even on non-Windows OSes. Try:

df.to_csv('file.csv',encoding='utf-8-sig')

That encoder will add the BOM.

How do I prompt for Yes/No/Cancel input in a Linux shell script?

I suggest you use dialog...

Linux Apprentice: Improve Bash Shell Scripts Using Dialog

The dialog command enables the use of window boxes in shell scripts to make their use more interactive.

it's simple and easy to use, there's also a gnome version called gdialog that takes the exact same parameters, but shows it GUI style on X.

Two dimensional array list

Here's how to make and print a 2D Multi-Dimensional Array using the ArrayList Object.

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class TwoD_ArrayListExample {
    static public ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> gameBoard = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        insertObjects();
        printTable(gameBoard);
    }

    public static void insertObjects() {
        for (int rowNum = 0; rowNum != 8; rowNum++) {
            ArrayList<String> oneRow = new ArrayList<String>();
            gameBoard.add(rowNum, oneRow);

            for (int columnNum = 0; columnNum != 8; columnNum++) {
                String description= "Description of Objects: row= "+ rowNum + ", column= "+ columnNum;
                    oneRow.add(columnNum, description);
            }
        }
    }

    // The printTable method prints the table to the console
    private static void printTable(ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> table) {
        for (int row = 0; row != 8; row++) {
            for (int col = 0; col != 8; col++) {
                System.out.println("Printing:               row= "+ row+ ", column= "+ col);
                System.out.println(table.get(row).get(col).toString());
            }
        }
        System.out.println("\n");
    }
}

Error: "Could Not Find Installable ISAM"

I have just encountered a very similar problem.

Like you, my connection string appeared correct--and indeed, exactly the same connection string was working in other scenarios.

The problem turned out to be a lack of resources. 19 times out of 20, I would see the "Could not find installable ISAM," but once or twice (without any code changes at all), it would yield "Out of memory" instead.

Rebooting the machine "solved" the problem (for now...?). This happened using Jet version 4.0.9505.0 on Windows XP.

How do I show running processes in Oracle DB?

This one shows SQL that is currently "ACTIVE":-

select S.USERNAME, s.sid, s.osuser, t.sql_id, sql_text
from v$sqltext_with_newlines t,V$SESSION s
where t.address =s.sql_address
and t.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value
and s.status = 'ACTIVE'
and s.username <> 'SYSTEM'
order by s.sid,t.piece
/

This shows locks. Sometimes things are going slow, but it's because it is blocked waiting for a lock:

select
  object_name, 
  object_type, 
  session_id, 
  type,         -- Type or system/user lock
  lmode,        -- lock mode in which session holds lock
  request, 
  block, 
  ctime         -- Time since current mode was granted
from
  v$locked_object, all_objects, v$lock
where
  v$locked_object.object_id = all_objects.object_id AND
  v$lock.id1 = all_objects.object_id AND
  v$lock.sid = v$locked_object.session_id
order by
  session_id, ctime desc, object_name
/

This is a good one for finding long operations (e.g. full table scans). If it is because of lots of short operations, nothing will show up.

COLUMN percent FORMAT 999.99 

SELECT sid, to_char(start_time,'hh24:mi:ss') stime,

'tsc command not found' in compiling typescript

I had this same problem on Ubuntu 19.10 LTS.

To solve this I ran the following command:

$ sudo apt install node-typescript

After that, I was able to use tsc.

Difference Between ViewResult() and ActionResult()

ActionResult is an abstract class that can have several subtypes.

ActionResult Subtypes

  • ViewResult - Renders a specifed view to the response stream

  • PartialViewResult - Renders a specifed partial view to the response stream

  • EmptyResult - An empty response is returned

  • RedirectResult - Performs an HTTP redirection to a specifed URL

  • RedirectToRouteResult - Performs an HTTP redirection to a URL that is determined by the routing engine, based on given route data

  • JsonResult - Serializes a given ViewData object to JSON format

  • JavaScriptResult - Returns a piece of JavaScript code that can be executed on the client

  • ContentResult - Writes content to the response stream without requiring a view

  • FileContentResult - Returns a file to the client

  • FileStreamResult - Returns a file to the client, which is provided by a Stream

  • FilePathResult - Returns a file to the client

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #12: Error inflating class <unknown>

I know the question is already answered but still I'm posting with thought that may someone run into this kind of problem.

In my case problem is i'm loading my application to phone which refer layouts from res/layout/ folder and values for @dimens from res/values/dimens here it's font_22 which it's trying to access and it's define in res/values-xlarge/dimens.

I'm actually updating UI of existing project.

I ran into this problem because I'm using IDE Eclipse where I ctrl+space for hint while writing xml for layout folder it displays all values from values as well as values-xlarge folder regardless of for which folder I'm writing.

I also know that the values in both files should be same to mapped for different screens.

Hope this may help someone run into this kind of silly problem.

How to check if a socket is connected/disconnected in C#?

As zendar wrote, it is nice to use the Socket.Poll and Socket.Available, but you need to take into consideration that the socket might not have been initialized in the first place. This is the last (I believe) piece of information and it is supplied by the Socket.Connected property. The revised version of the method would looks something like this:

 static bool IsSocketConnected(Socket s)
    {
        return !((s.Poll(1000, SelectMode.SelectRead) && (s.Available == 0)) || !s.Connected);

/* The long, but simpler-to-understand version:

        bool part1 = s.Poll(1000, SelectMode.SelectRead);
        bool part2 = (s.Available == 0);
        if ((part1 && part2 ) || !s.Connected)
            return false;
        else
            return true;

*/
    }

Setting up enviromental variables in Windows 10 to use java and javac

Just set the path variable to JDK bin in environment variables.

How to import multiple .csv files at once?

As well as using lapply or some other looping construct in R you could merge your CSV files into one file.

In Unix, if the files had no headers, then its as easy as:

cat *.csv > all.csv

or if there are headers, and you can find a string that matches headers and only headers (ie suppose header lines all start with "Age"), you'd do:

cat *.csv | grep -v ^Age > all.csv

I think in Windows you could do this with COPY and SEARCH (or FIND or something) from the DOS command box, but why not install cygwin and get the power of the Unix command shell?

How do I show the number keyboard on an EditText in android?

Below code will only allow numbers "0123456789”, even if you accidentally type other than "0123456789”, edit text will not accept.

    EditText number1 = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.edittext); 
    number1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER|InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);
    number1.setKeyListener(DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("0123456789”));

invalid new-expression of abstract class type

for others scratching their heads, I came across this error because I had innapropriately const-qualified one of the arguments to a method in a base class, so the derived class member functions were not over-riding it. so make sure you don't have something like

class Base 
{
  public:
      virtual void foo(int a, const int b) = 0;
}
class D: public Base 
{
 public:
     void foo(int a, int b){};
}

How do I get the size of a java.sql.ResultSet?

Give column a name..

String query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM

Reference that column from the ResultSet object into an int and do your logic from there..

PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(query);
statement.setString(1, item.getProductId());
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
while (resultSet.next()) {
    int count = resultSet.getInt("count");
    if (count >= 1) {
        System.out.println("Product ID already exists.");
    } else {
        System.out.println("New Product ID.");
    }
}

CSS: auto height on containing div, 100% height on background div inside containing div

In 2018 a lot of browsers support the Flexbox and Grid which are very powerful CSS display modes that overshine classical methods such as Faux Columns or Tabular Displays (which are treated later in this answer).

In order to implement this with the Grid, it is enough to specify display: grid and grid-template-columns on the container. The grid-template-columns depends on the number of columns you have, in this example I will use 3 columns, hence the property will look: grid-template-columns: auto auto auto, which basically means that each of the columns will have auto width.

Full working example with Grid:

_x000D_
_x000D_
html, body {_x000D_
    padding: 0;_x000D_
    margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.grid-container {_x000D_
    display: grid;_x000D_
    grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;_x000D_
    width: 100%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.grid-item {_x000D_
    padding: 20px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.a {_x000D_
    background-color: DarkTurquoise;_x000D_

_x000D_
.b {_x000D_

Another way would be to use the Flexbox by specifying display: flex on the container of the columns, and giving the columns a relevant width. In the example that I will be using, which is with 3 columns, you basically need to split 100% in 3, so it's 33.3333% (close enough, who cares about 0.00003333... which isn't visible anyway).

Full working example using Flexbox:

_x000D_
_x000D_
html, body {_x000D_
    padding: 0;_x000D_
    margin: 0;_x000D_

The Flexbox and Grid are supported by all major browsers since 2017/2018, fact also confirmed by caniuse.com: Can I use grid, Can I use flex.

There are also a number of classical solutions, used before the age of Flexbox and Grid, like OneTrueLayout Technique, Faux Columns Technique, CSS Tabular Display Technique and there is also a Layering Technique.

I do not recommend using these methods for they have a hackish nature and are not so elegant in my opinion, but it is good to know them for academic reasons.

A solution for equally height-ed columns is the CSS Tabular Display Technique that means to use the display:table feature. It works for Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+ and IE8.

The code for the CSS Tabular Display:

_x000D_
_x000D_
#container {_x000D_
  display: table;_x000D_
  background-color: #CCC;_x000D_
  margin: 0 auto;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.row {_x000D_
  display: table-row;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.col {_x000D_
  display: table-cell;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#col1 {_x000D_
  background-color: #0CC;_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#col2 {_x000D_
  background-color: #9F9;_x000D_
  width: 300px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_

    <div id="col2" class="col">_x000D_
      Column 2<br />Eco cologna duo est!_x000D_
    </div>_x000D_
    <div id="col3" class="col">_x000D_
      Column 3_x000D_

  </div>_x000D_
</div>

Even if there is a problem with the auto-expanding of the width of the table-cell it can be resolved easy by inserting another div withing the table-cell and giving it a fixed width. Anyway, the over-expanding of the width happens in the case of using extremely long words (which I doubt anyone would use a, let's say, 600px long word) or some div's who's width is greater than the table-cell's width.

The Faux Column Technique is the most popular classical solution to this problem, but it has some drawbacks such as, you have to resize the background tiled image if you want to resize the columns and it is also not an elegant solution.

The OneTrueLayout Technique consists of creating a padding-bottom of an extreme big height and cut it out by bringing the real border position to the "normal logical position" by applying a negative margin-bottom of the same huge value and hiding the extent created by the padding with overflow: hidden applied to the content wraper. A simplified example would be:

Working example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.wraper {_x000D_
    overflow: hidden; /* This is important */_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.floatLeft {_x000D_
    float: left;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.block {_x000D_
    padding-left: 20px;_x000D_
    padding-right: 20px;_x000D_
    padding-bottom: 30000px; /* This is important */_x000D_
    margin-bottom: -30000px; /* This is important */_x000D_
    width: 33.3333%;_x000D_
    box-sizing: border-box; /* This is so that the padding right and left does not affect the width */_x000D_
}_x000D_

The Layering Technique must be a very neat solution that involves absolute positioning of div's withing a main relative positioned wrapper div. It basically consists of a number of child divs and the main div. The main div has imperatively position: relative to it's css attribute collection. The children of this div are all imperatively position:absolute. The children must have top and bottom set to 0 and left-right dimensions set to accommodate the columns with each another. For example if we have two columns, one of width 100px and the other one of 200px, considering that we want the 100px in the left side and the 200px in the right side, the left column must have {left: 0; right: 200px} and the right column {left: 100px; right: 0;}

In my opinion the unimplemented 100% height within an automated height container is a major drawback and the W3C should consider revising this attribute (which since 2018 is solvable with Flexbox and Grid).

Best Practice: Software Versioning

Yet another example for the A.B.C approach is the Eclipse Bundle Versioning. Eclipse bundles rather have a fourth segment:

In Eclipse, version numbers are composed of four (4) segments: 3 integers and a string respectively named major.minor.service.qualifier. Each segment captures a different intent:

  • the major segment indicates breakage in the API
  • the minor segment indicates "externally visible" changes
  • the service segment indicates bug fixes and the change of development stream
  • the qualifier segment indicates a particular build

How to check if a textbox is empty using javascript

Fragments within Fragments

If you find your nested fragment not being removed or being duplicated (eg. on Activity restart, on screen rotate) try changing:

transaction.add(R.id.placeholder, newFragment);

to

transaction.replace(R.id.placeholder, newFragment);

If above doesn't help, try:

Fragment f = getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.placeholder);

FragmentTransaction transaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

if (f == null) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreateView: fragment doesn't exist");
    newFragment= new MyFragmentType();
    transaction.add(R.id.placeholder, newFragment);
} else {
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreateView: fragment already exists");
    transaction.replace(R.id.placeholder, f);
}
transaction.commit();

How to convert map to url query string?

This is the solution I implemented, using Java 8 and org.apache.http.client.URLEncodedUtils. It maps the entries of the map into a list of BasicNameValuePair and then uses Apache's URLEncodedUtils to turn that into a query string.

List<BasicNameValuePair> nameValuePairs = params.entrySet().stream()
   .map(entry -> new BasicNameValuePair(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()))
   .collect(Collectors.toList());

URLEncodedUtils.format(nameValuePairs, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));

Single-threaded apartment - cannot instantiate ActiveX control

The problem you're running into is that most background thread / worker APIs will create the thread in a Multithreaded Apartment state. The error message indicates that the control requires the thread be a Single Threaded Apartment.

You can work around this by creating a thread yourself and specifying the STA apartment state on the thread.

var t = new Thread(MyThreadStartMethod);
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
t.Start();

HTTP 1.0 vs 1.1

For trivial applications (e.g. sporadically retrieving a temperature value from a web-enabled thermometer) HTTP 1.0 is fine for both a client and a server. You can write a bare-bones socket-based HTTP 1.0 client or server in about 20 lines of code.

For more complicated scenarios HTTP 1.1 is the way to go. Expect a 3 to 5-fold increase in code size for dealing with the intricacies of the more complex HTTP 1.1 protocol. The complexity mainly comes, because in HTTP 1.1 you will need to create, parse, and respond to various headers. You can shield your application from this complexity by having a client use an HTTP library, or server use a web application server.

Wireshark localhost traffic capture

If you're using Windows it's not possible - read below. You can use the local address of your machine instead and then you'll be able to capture stuff. See CaptureSetup/Loopback.

Summary: you can capture on the loopback interface on Linux, on various BSDs including Mac OS X, and on Digital/Tru64 UNIX, and you might be able to do it on Irix and AIX, but you definitely cannot do so on Solaris, HP-UX....

Although the page mentions that this is not possible on Windows using Wireshark alone, you can actually record it using a workaround as mentioned in a different answer.


EDIT: Some 3 years later, this answer is no longer completely correct. The linked page contains instructions for capturing on the loopback interface.

JS Client-Side Exif Orientation: Rotate and Mirror JPEG Images

If

width = img.width;
height = img.height;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

Then you can use these transformations to turn the image to orientation 1

From orientation:

  1. ctx.transform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
  2. ctx.transform(-1, 0, 0, 1, width, 0);
  3. ctx.transform(-1, 0, 0, -1, width, height);
  4. ctx.transform(1, 0, 0, -1, 0, height);
  5. ctx.transform(0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
  6. ctx.transform(0, 1, -1, 0, height, 0);
  7. ctx.transform(0, -1, -1, 0, height, width);
  8. ctx.transform(0, -1, 1, 0, 0, width);

Pentaho Data Integration SQL connection

In addition to the other answers here, here's how you can do it on Ubuntu (14.04):

sudo apt-get install libmysql-java

this will download mysql-connector-java-5.x.x.jar to /usr/share/java/, which i believe also automatically creates a symlink named mysql-connector-java.jar.

Then, create a symlink in /your/path/to/data-integration/lib/:

ln -s /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar /your/path/to/data-integration/lib/mysql-connector-java.jar

Press any key to continue

I've created a little Powershell function to emulate MSDOS pause. This handles whether running Powershell ISE or non ISE. (ReadKey does not work in powershell ISE). When running Powershell ISE, this function opens a Windows MessageBox. This can sometimes be confusing, because the MessageBox does not always come to the forefront. Anyway, here it goes:

Usage: pause "Press any key to continue"

Function definition:

Function pause ($message)
{
    # Check if running Powershell ISE
    if ($psISE)
    {
        Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
        [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("$message")
    }
    else
    {
        Write-Host "$message" -ForegroundColor Yellow
        $x = $host.ui.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
    }

Best way to check if an PowerShell Object exist?

Type-check with the -is operator returns false for any null value. In most cases, if not all, $value -is [System.Object] will be true for any possible non-null value. (In all cases, it will be false for any null-value.)

My value is nothing if not an object.

Javascript loading CSV file into an array

How to change visibility of layout programmatically

Have a look at View.setVisibility(View.GONE / View.VISIBLE / View.INVISIBLE).

From the API docs:

public void setVisibility(int visibility)

    Since: API Level 1

    Set the enabled state of this view.
    Related XML Attributes: android:visibility

Parameters:
visibility     One of VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE.

Note that LinearLayout is a ViewGroup which in turn is a View. That is, you may very well call, for instance, myLinearLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE).

This makes sense. If you have any experience with AWT/Swing, you'll recognize it from the relation between Container and Component. (A Container is a Component.)

Yarn: How to upgrade yarn version using terminal?

Passing argument to alias in bash

An alias will expand to the string it represents. Anything after the alias will appear after its expansion without needing to be or able to be passed as explicit arguments (e.g. $1).

$ alias foo='/path/to/bar'
$ foo some args

will get expanded to

$ /path/to/bar some args

If you want to use explicit arguments, you'll need to use a function

$ foo () { /path/to/bar "$@" fixed args; }
$ foo abc 123

will be executed as if you had done

$ /path/to/bar abc 123 fixed args

To undefine an alias:

unalias foo

To undefine a function:

unset -f foo

To see the type and definition (for each defined alias, keyword, function, builtin or executable file):

type -a foo

Or type only (for the highest precedence occurrence):

type -t foo

Laravel Eloquent where field is X or null

It sounds like you need to make use of advanced where clauses.

Given that search in field1 and field2 is constant we will leave them as is, but we are going to adjust your search in datefield a little.

Try this:

$query = Model::where('field1', 1)
    ->whereNull('field2')
    ->where(function ($query) {
        $query->where('datefield', '<', $date)
            ->orWhereNull('datefield');
    }
);

If you ever need to debug a query and see why it isn't working, it can help to see what SQL it is actually executing. You can chain ->toSql() to the end of your eloquent query to generate the SQL.

How to get whole and decimal part of a number?

Just a new simple solution, for those of you who want to get the Integer part and Decimal part splitted as two integer separated values:

5.25 -> Int part: 5; Decimal part: 25

$num = 5.25;
$int_part = intval($num);
$dec_part = $num * 100 % 100;

This way is not involving string based functions, and is preventing accuracy problems which may arise in other math operations (such as having 0.49999999999999 instead of 0.5).

Haven't tested thoroughly with extreme values, but it works fine for me for price calculations.

But, watch out! Now from -5.25 you get: Integer part: -5; Decimal part: -25

In case you want to get always positive numbers, simply add abs() before the calculations:

$num = -5.25;
$num = abs($num);
$int_part = intval($num);
$dec_part = $num * 100 % 100;

Finally, bonus snippet for printing prices with 2 decimals:

$message = sprintf("Your price: %d.%02d Eur", $int_part, $dec_part);

...so that you avoid getting 5.5 instead of 5.05. ;)

How to add a new column to a CSV file?

This should give you an idea of what to do:

>>> v = open('C:/test/test.csv')
>>> r = csv.reader(v)
>>> row0 = r.next()
>>> row0.append('berry')
>>> print row0
['Name', 'Code', 'berry']
>>> for item in r:
...     item.append(item[0])
...     print item
...     
['blackberry', '1', 'blackberry']
['wineberry', '2', 'wineberry']
['rasberry', '1', 'rasberry']
['blueberry', '1', 'blueberry']
['mulberry', '2', 'mulberry']
>>> 

Edit, note in py3k you must use next(r)

Thanks for accepting the answer. Here you have a bonus (your working script):

import csv

with open('C:/test/test.csv','r') as csvinput:
    with open('C:/test/output.csv', 'w') as csvoutput:
        writer = csv.writer(csvoutput, lineterminator='\n')
        reader = csv.reader(csvinput)

        all = []
        row = next(reader)
        row.append('Berry')
        all.append(row)

        for row in reader:
            row.append(row[0])
            all.append(row)

        writer.writerows(all)

Please note

  1. the lineterminator parameter in csv.writer. By default it is set to '\r\n' and this is why you have double spacing.
  2. the use of a list to append all the lines and to write them in one shot with writerows. If your file is very, very big this probably is not a good idea (RAM) but for normal files I think it is faster because there is less I/O.
  3. As indicated in the comments to this post, note that instead of nesting the two with statements, you can do it in the same line:

    with open('C:/test/test.csv','r') as csvinput, open('C:/test/output.csv', 'w') as csvoutput:

react-router getting this.props.location in child components

(Update) V5.1 & Hooks (Requires React >= 16.8)

You can use useHistory, useLocation and useRouteMatch in your component to get match, history and location .

const Child = () => {
  const location = useLocation();
  const history = useHistory();
  const match = useRouteMatch("write-the-url-you-want-to-match-here");

  return (
    <div>{location.pathname}</div>
  )
}

export default Child

(Update) V4 & V5

You can use withRouter HOC in order to inject match, history and location in your component props.

class Child extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    match: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
    location: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
    history: PropTypes.object.isRequired
  }

  render() {
    const { match, location, history } = this.props

    return (
      <div>{location.pathname}</div>
    )
  }
}

export default withRouter(Child)

(Update) V3

You can use withRouter HOC in order to inject router, params, location, routes in your component props.

class Child extends React.Component {

  render() {
    const { router, params, location, routes } = this.props

    return (
      <div>{location.pathname}</div>
    )
  }
}

export default withRouter(Child)

Original answer

If you don't want to use the props, you can use the context as described in React Router documentation

First, you have to set up your childContextTypes and getChildContext

class App extends React.Component{

  getChildContext() {
    return {
      location: this.props.location
    }
  }

  render() {
    return <Child/>;
  }
}

App.childContextTypes = {
    location: React.PropTypes.object
}

Then, you will be able to access to the location object in your child components using the context like this

class Child extends React.Component{

   render() {
     return (
       <div>{this.context.location.pathname}</div>
     )
   }

}

Child.contextTypes = {
    location: React.PropTypes.object
 }

Virtualenv Command Not Found

You said that every time you run the pip install you get Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): virtualenv in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages. What you need to do is the following:

  1. Change Directory (go to to the one where the virtualenv.py) cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
  2. If you do an ls you will see that the script is there virtualenv.py
  3. Run the script like this: python virtualenv.py --distribute /the/path/at/which/you/want/the/new/venv/at theNameOfTheNewVirtualEnv

Hope this helps. My advice would be to research venvs more. Here is a good resource: https://www.dabapps.com/blog/introduction-to-pip-and-virtualenv-python/

How can I align text in columns using Console.WriteLine?

There're several NuGet packages which can help with formatting. In some cases the capabilities of string.Format are enough, but you may want to auto-size columns based on content, at least.

ConsoleTableExt

ConsoleTableExt is a simple library which allows formatting tables, including tables without grid lines. (A more popular package ConsoleTables doesn't seem to support borderless tables.) Here's an example of formatting a list of objects with columns sized based on their content:

ConsoleTableBuilder
    .From(orders
        .Select(o => new object[] {
            o.CustomerName,
            o.Sales,
            o.Fee,
            o.Value70,
            o.Value30
        })
        .ToList())
    .WithColumn(
        "Customer",
        "Sales",
        "Fee",
        "70% value",
        "30% value")
    .WithFormat(ConsoleTableBuilderFormat.Minimal)
    .WithOptions(new ConsoleTableBuilderOption { DividerString = "" })
    .ExportAndWriteLine();

CsConsoleFormat

If you need more features than that, any console formatting can be achieved with CsConsoleFormat.† For example, here's formatting of a list of objects as a grid with fixed column width of 10, like in the other answers using string.Format:

ConsoleRenderer.RenderDocument(
    new Document { Color = ConsoleColor.Gray }
        .AddChildren(
            new Grid { Stroke = LineThickness.None }
                .AddColumns(10, 10, 10, 10, 10)
                .AddChildren(
                    new Div("Customer"),
                    new Div("Sales"),
                    new Div("Fee"),
                    new Div("70% value"),
                    new Div("30% value"),
                    orders.Select(o => new object[] {
                        new Div().AddChildren(o.CustomerName),
                        new Div().AddChildren(o.Sales),
                        new Div().AddChildren(o.Fee),
                        new Div().AddChildren(o.Value70),
                        new Div().AddChildren(o.Value30)
                    })
                )
        ));

It may look more complicated than pure string.Format, but now it can be customized. For example:

  • If you want to auto-size columns based on content, replace AddColumns(10, 10, 10, 10, 10) with AddColumns(-1, -1, -1, -1, -1) (-1 is a shortcut to GridLength.Auto, you have more sizing options, including percentage of console window's width).

  • If you want to align number columns to the right, add { Align = Right } to a cell's initializer.

  • If you want to color a column, add { Color = Yellow } to a cell's initializer.

  • You can change border styles and more.

† CsConsoleFormat was developed by me.

Possible to extend types in Typescript?

What you are trying to achieve is equivalent to

interface Event {
   name: string;
   dateCreated: string;
   type: string;
}

interface UserEvent extends Event {
   UserId: string; 
}

The way you defined the types does not allow for specifying inheritance, however you can achieve something similar using intersection types, as artem pointed out.

Client to send SOAP request and receive response

The best practice is to reference the WSDL and use it like a web service reference. It's easier and works better, but if you don't have the WSDL, the XSD definitions are a good piece of code.

Sql Server trigger insert values from new row into another table

In a SQL Server trigger you have available two psdeuotables called inserted and deleted. These contain the old and new values of the record.

So within the trigger (you can look up the create trigger parts easily) you would do something like this:

Insert table2 (user_id, user_name)
select user_id, user_name from inserted i
left join table2 t on i.user_id = t.userid
where t.user_id is null

When writing triggers remember they act once on the whole batch of information, they do not process row-by-row. So account for multiple row inserts in your code.

Firestore Getting documents id from collection

For angular 8 and Firebase 6 you can use the option id field

      getAllDocs() {
           const ref = this.db.collection('items');
           return ref.valueChanges({idField: 'customIdName'});
      }

this adds the Id of the document on the object with a specified key (customIdName)

How to determine previous page URL in Angular?

Create a injectable service:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, RouterEvent, NavigationEnd } from '@angular/router';

 /** A router wrapper, adding extra functions. */
@Injectable()
export class RouterExtService {

  private previousUrl: string = undefined;
  private currentUrl: string = undefined;

  constructor(private router : Router) {
    this.currentUrl = this.router.url;
    router.events.subscribe(event => {
      if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {        
        this.previousUrl = this.currentUrl;
        this.currentUrl = event.url;
      };
    });
  }

  public getPreviousUrl(){
    return this.previousUrl;
  }    
}

Then use it everywhere you need. To store the current variable as soon as possible, it's necessary to use the service in the AppModule.

// AppModule
export class AppModule {
  constructor(private routerExtService: RouterExtService){}

  //...

}

// Using in SomeComponent
export class SomeComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor(private routerExtService: RouterExtService, private location: Location) { } 

  public back(): void {
    this.location.back();
  }

  //Strange name, but it makes sense. Behind the scenes, we are pushing to history the previous url
  public goToPrevious(): void {
    let previous = this.routerExtService.getPreviousUrl();

    if(previous)
      this.routerExtService.router.navigateByUrl(previous);
  }

  //...

}

The best approach here is to remove @ActiveProfiles annotation and do the following:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners({
    TestPreperationExecutionListener.class
    })
@Transactional
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
    "classpath:config/test-context.xml" })
public class TestContext {

  @BeforeClass
  public static void setSystemProperty() {
        Properties properties = System.getProperties();
        properties.setProperty("spring.profiles.active", "localtest");
  }

  @AfterClass
  public static void unsetSystemProperty() {
        System.clearProperty("spring.profiles.active");
  }

  @Test
  public void testContext(){

  }
}

And your test-context.xml should have the following:

<context:property-placeholder 
  location="classpath:META-INF/spring/config_${spring.profiles.active}.properties"/>

I need to know how to get my program to output the word i typed in and also the new rearranged word using a 2D array

  1. What exactly doesn't work?
  2. Why are you using a 2d array?
  3. If you must use a 2d array:

    int numOfPairs = 10;  String[][] array = new String[numOfPairs][2]; for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){     for(int j = 0; j < array[i].length; j++){         array[i] = new String[2];         array[i][0] = "original word";         array[i][1] = "rearranged word";     }    } 

Does this give you a hint?

Remove border radius from Select tag in bootstrap 3

I had the same issue and while user1732055's answer fixes the border, it removes the dropdown arrows. I solved this by removing the border from the select element and creating a wrapper span which has a border.

html:

<span class="select-wrapper">
    <select class="form-control no-radius">
        <option value="1">1</option>
        <option value="2">2</option>
        <option value="3">3</option>
    </select>
</span>

css:

select.no-radius{
    border:none;
}    
.select-wrapper{
    border: 1px solid black;
    border-radius: 0px;
}

Creating an index on a table variable

It should be understood that from a performance standpoint there are no differences between @temp tables and #temp tables that favor variables. They reside in the same place (tempdb) and are implemented the same way. All the differences appear in additional features. See this amazingly complete writeup: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/16385/whats-the-difference-between-a-temp-table-and-table-variable-in-sql-server/16386#16386

Although there are cases where a temp table can't be used such as in table or scalar functions, for most other cases prior to v2016 (where even filtered indexes can be added to a table variable) you can simply use a #temp table.

The drawback to using named indexes (or constraints) in tempdb is that the names can then clash. Not just theoretically with other procedures but often quite easily with other instances of the procedure itself which would try to put the same index on its copy of the #temp table.

To avoid name clashes, something like this usually works:

declare @cmd varchar(500)='CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [ix_temp'+cast(newid() as varchar(40))+'] ON #temp (NonUniqueIndexNeeded);';
exec (@cmd);

This insures the name is always unique even between simultaneous executions of the same procedure.

How can I check if an ip is in a network in Python?

Marc's code is nearly correct. A complete version of the code is -

def addressInNetwork3(ip,net):
    '''This function allows you to check if on IP belogs to a Network'''
    ipaddr = struct.unpack('=L',socket.inet_aton(ip))[0]
    netaddr,bits = net.split('/')
    netmask = struct.unpack('=L',socket.inet_aton(calcDottedNetmask(int(bits))))[0]
    network = struct.unpack('=L',socket.inet_aton(netaddr))[0] & netmask
    return (ipaddr & netmask) == (network & netmask)

def calcDottedNetmask(mask):
    bits = 0
    for i in xrange(32-mask,32):
        bits |= (1 << i)
    return "%d.%d.%d.%d" % ((bits & 0xff000000) >> 24, (bits & 0xff0000) >> 16, (bits & 0xff00) >> 8 , (bits & 0xff))

Obviously from the same sources as above...

A very Important note is that the first code has a small glitch - The IP address 255.255.255.255 also shows up as a Valid IP for any subnet. I had a heck of time getting this code to work and thanks to Marc for the correct answer.

How to set MimeBodyPart ContentType to "text/html"?

What about using:

mime_body_part.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

In the documentation of getContentType it says that the value returned is found using getHeader(name). So if you set the header using setHeader I guess everything should be fine.

Address validation using Google Maps API

A great blog describing 14 address finders: https://www.conversion-uplift.co.uk/free-address-lookup-tools/

Many address autocomplete services, including Google's Places API, appears to offer international address support but it has limited accuracy.

For example, New Zealand address and geolocation data are free to download from Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). When a user search for an address such as 76 Francis St Hauraki from Google or Address Doctor, a positive match is returned. The land parcel was matched but not the postal/delivery address, which is either 76A or 76B. The problem is amplified with apartments and units on a single land parcel.

For 100% accuracy, use a country-specific address finder instead such as https://www.addy.co.nz for NZ address autocomplete.

Using the "animated circle" in an ImageView while loading stuff

This is generally referred to as an Indeterminate Progress Bar or Indeterminate Progress Dialog.

Combine this with a Thread and a Handler to get exactly what you want. There are a number of examples on how to do this via Google or right here on SO. I would highly recommend spending the time to learn how to use this combination of classes to perform a task like this. It is incredibly useful across many types of applications and will give you a great insight into how Threads and Handlers can work together.

I'll get you started on how this works:

The loading event starts the dialog:

//maybe in onCreate
showDialog(MY_LOADING_DIALOG);
fooThread = new FooThread(handler);
fooThread.start();

Now the thread does the work:

private class FooThread extends Thread {
    Handler mHandler;

    FooThread(Handler h) {
        mHandler = h;
    }

    public void run() { 
        //Do all my work here....you might need a loop for this

        Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();                
        b.putInt("state", 1);   
        msg.setData(b);
        mHandler.sendMessage(msg);
    }
}

Finally get the state back from the thread when it is complete:

final Handler handler = new Handler() {
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        int state = msg.getData().getInt("state");
        if (state == 1){
            dismissDialog(MY_LOADING_DIALOG);
            removeDialog(MY_LOADING_DIALOG);
        }
    }
};

Change Input to Upper Case

**JAVA SCRIPT**
<html>
<body>
<script>
function @ToCaps(obj)
{
obj.value=obj.value.toUpperCase();
}
</script>
<input type="text" onkeyup=@ToCaps(this)"/>
</body>
</html>

**ASP.NET**
Use a css style on the text box, write css like this:

.ToCaps { text-transform: uppercase; }

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" CssClass="ToCaps"></asp:Te writxtBox>

**OR**
simply write this code in textbox
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" style="text-transform:uppercase"></asp:TextBox>

REST API Best practices: Where to put parameters?

It depends on a design. There are no rules for URIs at REST over HTTP (main thing is that they are unique). Often it comes to the matter of taste and intuition...

I take following approach:

  • url path-element: The resource and its path-element forms a directory traversal and a subresource (e.g. /items/{id} , /users/items). When unsure ask your colleagues, if they think that traversal and they think in "another directory" most likely path-element is the right choice
  • url parameter: when there is no traversal really (search resources with multiple query parameters are a very nice example for that)

How does `scp` differ from `rsync`?

Difference b/w scp and rsync on different parameter

1. Performance over latency

  • scp : scp is relatively less optimise and speed

  • rsync : rsync is comparatively more optimise and speed

https://www.disk91.com/2014/technology/networks/compare-performance-of-different-file-transfer-protocol-over-latency/

2. Interruption handling

  • scp : scp command line tool cannot resume aborted downloads from lost network connections

  • rsync : If the above rsync session itself gets interrupted, you can resume it as many time as you want by typing the same command. rsync will automatically restart the transfer where it left off.

http://ask.xmodulo.com/resume-large-scp-file-transfer-linux.html

3. Command Example

scp

$ scp source_file_path destination_file_path

rsync

$ cd /path/to/directory/of/partially_downloaded_file
$ rsync -P --rsh=ssh [email protected]:bigdata.tgz ./bigdata.tgz 

The -P option is the same as --partial --progress, allowing rsync to work with partially downloaded files. The --rsh=ssh option tells rsync to use ssh as a remote shell.

4. Security :

scp is more secure. You have to use rsync --rsh=ssh to make it as secure as scp.

Creating a class object in c++

Example example;

This is a declaration of a variable named example of type Example. This will default-initialize the object which involves calling its default constructor. The object will have automatic storage duration which means that it will be destroyed when it goes out of scope.

Example* example;

This is a declaration of a variable named example which is a pointer to an Example. In this case, default-initialization leaves it uninitialized - the pointer is pointing nowhere in particular. There is no Example object here. The pointer object has automatic storage duration.

Example* example = new Example();

This is a declaration of a variable named example which is a pointer to an Example. This pointer object, as above, has automatic storage duration. It is then initialized with the result of new Example();. This new expression creates an Example object with dynamic storage duration and then returns a pointer to it. So the example pointer is now pointing to that dynamically allocated object. The Example object is value-initialized which will call a user-provided constructor if there is one or otherwise initialise all members to 0.

Example* example = new Example;

This is similar to the previous line. The difference is that the Example object is default-initialized, which will call the default constructor of Example (or leave it uninitialized if it is not of class type).

A dynamically allocated object must be deleted (probably with delete example;).

Parse error: Syntax error, unexpected end of file in my PHP code

For me, the most frequent cause is an omitted } character, so that a function or if statement block is not terminated. I fix this by inserting a } character after my recent edits and moving it around from there. I use an editor that can locate opening brackets corresponding to a closing bracket, so that feature helps, too (it locates the function that was not terminated correctly).

We can hope that someday language interpreters and compilers will do some work to generate better error messages, since it is so easy to omit a closing bracket.

If this helps anyone, please vote the answer up.

c++ exception : throwing std::string

A few principles:

  1. you have a std::exception base class, you should have your exceptions derive from it. That way general exception handler still have some information.

  2. Don't throw pointers but object, that way memory is handled for you.

Example:

struct MyException : public std::exception
{
   std::string s;
   MyException(std::string ss) : s(ss) {}
   ~MyException() throw () {} // Updated
   const char* what() const throw() { return s.c_str(); }
};

And then use it in your code:

void Foo::Bar(){
  if(!QueryPerformanceTimer(&m_baz)){
    throw MyException("it's the end of the world!");
  }
}

void Foo::Caller(){
  try{
    this->Bar();// should throw
  }catch(MyException& caught){
    std::cout<<"Got "<<caught.what()<<std::endl;
  }
}

React onClick and preventDefault() link refresh/redirect?

In a context like this

function ActionLink() {
  function handleClick(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    console.log('The link was clicked.');
  }

  return (
    <a href="#" onClick={handleClick}>
      Click me
    </a>
  );
}

As you can see, you have to call preventDefault() explicitly. I think that this docs, could be helpful.

How to format strings using printf() to get equal length in the output

Start with the use of tabs - the \t character modifier. It will advance to a fixed location (columns, terminal lingo).

However, it doesn't help if there are differences of more than the column width (4 characters, if I recall correctly).

To fix that, write your "OK/NOK" stuff using a fixed number of tabs (5? 6?, try it). Then return (\r) without new-lining, and write your message.

How to 'update' or 'overwrite' a python list

I think it is more pythonic:

    list.remove(to_delete)
    list.insert(index, to_shuffle)
    return

list = ['a', 'b']
shuffle(list, 'a', 'c', 0)

How to add Python to Windows registry

I installed ArcGIS Pro 1.4 and it didn't register the Python 3.5.2 it installed which prevented me from installing any add-ons. I resolved this by using the "reg" command in an Administrator PowerShell session to manually create and populate the necessary registry keys/values (where Python is installed in C:\Python35):

reg add "HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.5\Help\Main Python Documentation" /reg:64 /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Python35\Doc\Python352.chm"
reg add "HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.5\InstallPath" /reg:64 /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Python35\"
reg add "HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.5\InstallPath\InstallGroup" /reg:64 /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Python 3.5"
reg add "HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.5\PythonPath" /reg:64 /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Python35\Lib;C:\Python35\DLLs;C:\Python35\Lib\lib-tk"

I find this easier than using Registry Editor but that's solely a personal preference.

The same commands can be executed in CMD.EXE session if you prefer; just make sure you run it as Administrator.

How do I divide in the Linux console?

I also had the same problem. It's easy to divide integer numbers but decimal numbers are not that easy. if you have 2 numbers like 3.14 and 2.35 and divide the numbers then, the code will be Division=echo 3.14 / 2.35 | bc echo "$Division" the quotes are different. Don't be confused, it's situated just under the esc button on your keyboard. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE | bc and also here echo works as an operator for the arithmetic calculations in stead of printing. So, I had added echo "$Division" for printing the value. Let me know if it works for you. Thank you.

Does my application "contain encryption"?

All of this can be very confusing for an app developer that's simply using TLS to connect to their own web servers. Because ATS (App Transport Security) is becoming more important and we are encouraged to convert everything to https - I think more developers are going to encounter this issue.

My app simply exchanges data between our server and the user using the https protocol. Seeing the words "USES ENCRYPTION" in the disclaimers is a bit scary so I gave the US government office a call at their office and spoke to a representative of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/about-bis/contact-bis.

The representative asked me about my app and since it passed the "primary function test" in that it had nothing to do with security/communications and simply uses https as a channel for connecting my customer data to our servers - it fell in the EAR99 category which means it's exempt from getting government permission (see https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/licensing/commerce-control-list-classification/export-control-classification-number-eccn)

I hope this helps other app developers.

Private vs Protected - Visibility Good-Practice Concern

I read an article a while ago that talked about locking down every class as much as possible. Make everything final and private unless you have an immediate need to expose some data or functionality to the outside world. It's always easy to expand the scope to be more permissible later on, but not the other way around. First consider making as many things as possible final which will make choosing between private and protected much easier.

  1. Make all classes final unless you need to subclass them right away.
  2. Make all methods final unless you need to subclass and override them right away.
  3. Make all method parameters final unless you need to change them within the body of the method, which is kinda awkward most of the times anyways.

Now if you're left with a final class, then make everything private unless something is absolutely needed by the world - make that public.

If you're left with a class that does have subclass(es), then carefully examine every property and method. First consider if you even want to expose that property/method to subclasses. If you do, then consider whether a subclass can wreak havoc on your object if it messed up the property value or method implementation in the process of overriding. If it's possible, and you want to protect your class' property/method even from subclasses (sounds ironic, I know), then make it private. Otherwise make it protected.

How to generate access token using refresh token through google drive API?

If you are using web api then you should make a http POST call to URL : https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token with following request body

client_id: <YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
client_secret: <YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
refresh_token: <REFRESH_TOKEN_FOR_THE_USER>
grant_type: refresh_token

refresh token never expires so you can use it any number of times. The response will be a JSON like this:

{
  "access_token": "your refreshed access token",
  "expires_in": 3599,
  "scope": "Set of scope which you have given",
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Java ByteBuffer to String

Convert a String to ByteBuffer, then from ByteBuffer back to String using Java:

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.nio.*;

String babel = "obufscate thdé alphebat and yolo!!";
System.out.println(babel);
//Convert string to ByteBuffer:
ByteBuffer babb = Charset.forName("UTF-8").encode(babel);
try{
    //Convert ByteBuffer to String
    System.out.println(new String(babb.array(), "UTF-8"));
}
catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Which prints the printed bare string first, and then the ByteBuffer casted to array():

obufscate thdé alphebat and yolo!!
obufscate thdé alphebat and yolo!!

Also this was helpful for me, reducing the string to primitive bytes can help inspect what's going on:

String text = "?????";
//convert utf8 text to a byte array
byte[] array = text.getBytes("UTF-8");
//convert the byte array back to a string as UTF-8
String s = new String(array, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
System.out.println(s);
//forcing strings encoded as UTF-8 as an incorrect encoding like
//say ISO-8859-1 causes strange and undefined behavior
String sISO = new String(array, Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1"));
System.out.println(sISO);

Prints your string interpreted as UTF-8, and then again as ISO-8859-1:

python exception message capturing

You have to define which type of exception you want to catch. So write except Exception, e: instead of except, e: for a general exception (that will be logged anyway).

Other possibility is to write your whole try/except code this way:

try:
    with open(filepath,'rb') as f:
        con.storbinary('STOR '+ filepath, f)
    logger.info('File successfully uploaded to '+ FTPADDR)
except Exception, e: # work on python 2.x
    logger.error('Failed to upload to ftp: '+ str(e))

in Python 3.x and modern versions of Python 2.x use except Exception as e instead of except Exception, e:

try:
    with open(filepath,'rb') as f:
        con.storbinary('STOR '+ filepath, f)
    logger.info('File successfully uploaded to '+ FTPADDR)
except Exception as e: # work on python 3.x
    logger.error('Failed to upload to ftp: '+ str(e))

MVC Razor view nested foreach's model

The quick answer is to use a for() loop in place of your foreach() loops. Something like:

@for(var themeIndex = 0; themeIndex < Model.Theme.Count(); themeIndex++)
{
   @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Theme[themeIndex])

   @for(var productIndex=0; productIndex < Model.Theme[themeIndex].Products.Count(); productIndex++)
   {
      @Html.LabelFor(model=>model.Theme[themeIndex].Products[productIndex].name)
      @for(var orderIndex=0; orderIndex < Model.Theme[themeIndex].Products[productIndex].Orders; orderIndex++)
      {
          @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Theme[themeIndex].Products[productIndex].Orders[orderIndex].Quantity)
          @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Theme[themeIndex].Products[productIndex].Orders[orderIndex].Note)
          @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Theme[themeIndex].Products[productIndex].Orders[orderIndex].DateRequestedDeliveryFor)
      }
   }
}

But this glosses over why this fixes the problem.

There are three things that you have at least a cursory understanding before you can resolve this issue. I have to admit that I cargo-culted this for a long time when I started working with the framework. And it took me quite a while to really get what was going on.

Those three things are:

  • How do the LabelFor and other ...For helpers work in MVC?
  • What is an Expression Tree?
  • How does the Model Binder work?

All three of these concepts link together to get an answer.

How do the LabelFor and other ...For helpers work in MVC?

So, you've used the HtmlHelper<T> extensions for LabelFor and TextBoxFor and others, and you probably noticed that when you invoke them, you pass them a lambda and it magically generates some html. But how?

So the first thing to notice is the signature for these helpers. Lets look at the simplest overload for TextBoxFor

public static MvcHtmlString TextBoxFor<TModel, TProperty>(
    this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper,
    Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression
) 

First, this is an extension method for a strongly typed HtmlHelper, of type <TModel>. So, to simply state what happens behind the scenes, when razor renders this view it generates a class. Inside of this class is an instance of HtmlHelper<TModel> (as the property Html, which is why you can use @Html...), where TModel is the type defined in your @model statement. So in your case, when you are looking at this view TModel will always be of the type ViewModels.MyViewModels.Theme.

Now, the next argument is a bit tricky. So lets look at an invocation

@Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.SomeProperty);

It looks like we have a little lambda, And if one were to guess the signature, one might think that the type for this argument would simply be a Func<TModel, TProperty>, where TModel is the type of the view model and TProperty is inferred as the type of the property.

But thats not quite right, if you look at the actual type of the argument its Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>>.

So when you normally generate a lambda, the compiler takes the lambda and compiles it down into MSIL, just like any other function (which is why you can use delegates, method groups, and lambdas more or less interchangeably, because they are just code references.)

However, when the compiler sees that the type is an Expression<>, it doesn't immediately compile the lambda down to MSIL, instead it generates an Expression Tree!

What is an Expression Tree?

So, what the heck is an expression tree. Well, it's not complicated but its not a walk in the park either. To quote ms:

| Expression trees represent code in a tree-like data structure, where each node is an expression, for example, a method call or a binary operation such as x < y.

Simply put, an expression tree is a representation of a function as a collection of "actions".

In the case of model=>model.SomeProperty, the expression tree would have a node in it that says: "Get 'Some Property' from a 'model'"

This expression tree can be compiled into a function that can be invoked, but as long as it's an expression tree, it's just a collection of nodes.

So what is that good for?

So Func<> or Action<>, once you have them, they are pretty much atomic. All you can really do is Invoke() them, aka tell them to do the work they are supposed to do.

Expression<Func<>> on the other hand, represents a collection of actions, which can be appended, manipulated, visited, or compiled and invoked.

So why are you telling me all this?

So with that understanding of what an Expression<> is, we can go back to Html.TextBoxFor. When it renders a textbox, it needs to generate a few things about the property that you are giving it. Things like attributes on the property for validation, and specifically in this case it needs to figure out what to name the <input> tag.

It does this by "walking" the expression tree and building a name. So for an expression like model=>model.SomeProperty, it walks the expression gathering the properties that you are asking for and builds <input name='SomeProperty'>.

For a more complicated example, like model=>model.Foo.Bar.Baz.FooBar, it might generate <input name="Foo.Bar.Baz.FooBar" value="[whatever FooBar is]" />

Make sense? It is not just the work that the Func<> does, but how it does its work is important here.

(Note other frameworks like LINQ to SQL do similar things by walking an expression tree and building a different grammar, that this case a SQL query)

How does the Model Binder work?

So once you get that, we have to briefly talk about the model binder. When the form gets posted, it's simply like a flat Dictionary<string, string>, we have lost the hierarchical structure our nested view model may have had. It's the model binder's job to take this key-value pair combo and attempt to rehydrate an object with some properties. How does it do this? You guessed it, by using the "key" or name of the input that got posted.

So if the form post looks like

Foo.Bar.Baz.FooBar = Hello

And you are posting to a model called SomeViewModel, then it does the reverse of what the helper did in the first place. It looks for a property called "Foo". Then it looks for a property called "Bar" off of "Foo", then it looks for "Baz"... and so on...

Finally it tries to parse the value into the type of "FooBar" and assign it to "FooBar".

PHEW!!!

And voila, you have your model. The instance the Model Binder just constructed gets handed into requested Action.


So your solution doesn't work because the Html.[Type]For() helpers need an expression. And you are just giving them a value. It has no idea what the context is for that value, and it doesn't know what to do with it.

Now some people suggested using partials to render. Now this in theory will work, but probably not the way that you expect. When you render a partial, you are changing the type of TModel, because you are in a different view context. This means that you can describe your property with a shorter expression. It also means when the helper generates the name for your expression, it will be shallow. It will only generate based on the expression it's given (not the entire context).

So lets say you had a partial that just rendered "Baz" (from our example before). Inside that partial you could just say:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.FooBar)

Rather than

@Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.Foo.Bar.Baz.FooBar)

That means that it will generate an input tag like this:

<input name="FooBar" />

Which, if you are posting this form to an action that is expecting a large deeply nested ViewModel, then it will try to hydrate a property called FooBar off of TModel. Which at best isn't there, and at worst is something else entirely. If you were posting to a specific action that was accepting a Baz, rather than the root model, then this would work great! In fact, partials are a good way to change your view context, for example if you had a page with multiple forms that all post to different actions, then rendering a partial for each one would be a great idea.


Now once you get all of this, you can start to do really interesting things with Expression<>, by programatically extending them and doing other neat things with them. I won't get into any of that. But, hopefully, this will give you a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes and why things are acting the way that they are.

How does one extract each folder name from a path?

Or, if you need to do something with each folder, have a look at the System.IO.DirectoryInfo class. It also has a Parent property that allows you to navigate to the parent directory.

How to reject in async/await syntax?

It should probably also be mentioned that you can simply chain a catch() function after the call of your async operation because under the hood still a promise is returned.

await foo().catch(error => console.log(error));

This way you can avoid the try/catch syntax if you do not like it.

How do I resolve `The following packages have unmet dependencies`

I came to this situation when I installed node js from the latest stable release.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

It seems this version already comes with a prepackaged NPM. So when I tried to install NPM again, I got this error. If anyone is installing Nodejs in this manner then, it's not needed to install NPM separately.

Error loading the SDK when Eclipse starts

I couldn't delete the system image (idk why), so I took the approach of deleting all occurrences of g:skin in any xml file since eclipse don't know what that is:

$ find . -type f -name "*.xml" -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i /d:skin/d

On windows you might want to run it within Cygwin or cmder

Turn a string into a valid filename?

Why not just wrap the "osopen" with a try/except and let the underlying OS sort out whether the file is valid?

This seems like much less work and is valid no matter which OS you use.

Why is Event.target not Element in Typescript?

I'm usually facing this problem when dealing with events from an input field, like key up. But remember that the event could stem from anywhere, e.g. from a keyup listener on document, where there is no associated value. So in order to correctly provide the information I'd provide an additional type:

interface KeyboardEventOnInputField extends KeyboardEvent {
  target: HTMLInputElement;
}
...

  onKeyUp(e: KeyboardEventOnInputField) {
    const inputValue = e.target.value;
    ...
  }

If the input to the function has a type of Event, you might need to tell typescript what it actually is:

  onKeyUp(e: Event) {
    const evt = e as KeyboardEventOnInputField;
    const inputValue = evt.target.value;
    this.inputValue.next(inputValue);
  }

This is for example required in Angular.

find filenames NOT ending in specific extensions on Unix?

You could do something using the grep command:

find . | grep -v '(dll|exe)$'

The -v flag on grep specifically means "find things that don't match this expression."

In C can a long printf statement be broken up into multiple lines?

The C compiler can glue adjacent string literals into one, like

printf("foo: %s "
       "bar: %d", foo, bar);

The preprocessor can use a backslash as a last character of the line, not counting CR (or CR/LF, if you are from Windowsland):

printf("foo %s \
bar: %d", foo, bar);

How to set iPhone UIView z index?

You can use the zPosition property of the view's layer (it's a CALayer object) to change the z-index of the view.

theView.layer.zPosition = 1;

As Viktor Nordling added, "big values are on top. You can use any values you want, including negative values." The default value is 0.

You need to import the QuartzCore framework to access the layer. Just add this line of code at the top of your implementation file.

#import "QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h"

Then the sentence will become :

sentence = "My name is Roger" # Robert is replaced with Roger

Add objects to an array of objects in Powershell

To append to an array, just use the += operator.

$Target += $TargetObject

Also, you need to declare $Target = @() before your loop because otherwise, it will empty the array every loop.

Python group by

Python's built-in itertools module actually has a groupby function , but for that the elements to be grouped must first be sorted such that the elements to be grouped are contiguous in the list:

from operator import itemgetter
sortkeyfn = itemgetter(1)
input = [('11013331', 'KAT'), ('9085267', 'NOT'), ('5238761', 'ETH'), 
 ('5349618', 'ETH'), ('11788544', 'NOT'), ('962142', 'ETH'), ('7795297', 'ETH'), 
 ('7341464', 'ETH'), ('9843236', 'KAT'), ('5594916', 'ETH'), ('1550003', 'ETH')] 
input.sort(key=sortkeyfn)

Now input looks like:

[('5238761', 'ETH'), ('5349618', 'ETH'), ('962142', 'ETH'), ('7795297', 'ETH'),
 ('7341464', 'ETH'), ('5594916', 'ETH'), ('1550003', 'ETH'), ('11013331', 'KAT'),
 ('9843236', 'KAT'), ('9085267', 'NOT'), ('11788544', 'NOT')]

groupby returns a sequence of 2-tuples, of the form (key, values_iterator). What we want is to turn this into a list of dicts where the 'type' is the key, and 'items' is a list of the 0'th elements of the tuples returned by the values_iterator. Like this:

from itertools import groupby
result = []
for key,valuesiter in groupby(input, key=sortkeyfn):
    result.append(dict(type=key, items=list(v[0] for v in valuesiter)))

Now result contains your desired dict, as stated in your question.

You might consider, though, just making a single dict out of this, keyed by type, and each value containing the list of values. In your current form, to find the values for a particular type, you'll have to iterate over the list to find the dict containing the matching 'type' key, and then get the 'items' element from it. If you use a single dict instead of a list of 1-item dicts, you can find the items for a particular type with a single keyed lookup into the master dict. Using groupby, this would look like:

result = {}
for key,valuesiter in groupby(input, key=sortkeyfn):
    result[key] = list(v[0] for v in valuesiter)

result now contains this dict (this is similar to the intermediate res defaultdict in @KennyTM's answer):

{'NOT': ['9085267', '11788544'], 
 'ETH': ['5238761', '5349618', '962142', '7795297', '7341464', '5594916', '1550003'], 
 'KAT': ['11013331', '9843236']}

(If you want to reduce this to a one-liner, you can:

result = dict((key,list(v[0] for v in valuesiter)
              for key,valuesiter in groupby(input, key=sortkeyfn))

or using the newfangled dict-comprehension form:

result = {key:list(v[0] for v in valuesiter)
              for key,valuesiter in groupby(input, key=sortkeyfn)}

Select first and last row from grouped data

Another approach with lapply and a dplyr statement. We can apply an arbitrary number of whatever summary functions to the same statement:

lapply(c(first, last), 
       function(x) df %>% group_by(id) %>% summarize_all(funs(x))) %>% 
bind_rows()

You could for example be interested in rows with the max stopSequence value as well and do:

lapply(c(first, last, max("stopSequence")), 
       function(x) df %>% group_by(id) %>% summarize_all(funs(x))) %>%
bind_rows()

MySql Table Insert if not exist otherwise update

Try using this:

If you specify ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, and a row is inserted that would cause a duplicate value in a UNIQUE index orPRIMARY KEY, MySQL performs an [UPDATE`](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/update.html) of the old row...

The ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause can contain multiple column assignments, separated by commas.

With ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, the affected-rows value per row is 1 if the row is inserted as a new row, 2 if an existing row is updated, and 0 if an existing row is set to its current values. If you specify the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag to mysql_real_connect() when connecting to mysqld, the affected-rows value is 1 (not 0) if an existing row is set to its current values...

How to change identity column values programmatically?

Firstly the setting of IDENTITY_INSERT on or off for that matter will not work for what you require (it is used for inserting new values, such as plugging gaps).

Doing the operation through the GUI just creates a temporary table, copies all the data across to a new table without an identity field, and renames the table.

struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4

The struct module mimics C structures. It takes more CPU cycles for a processor to read a 16-bit word on an odd address or a 32-bit dword on an address not divisible by 4, so structures add "pad bytes" to make structure members fall on natural boundaries. Consider:

struct {                   11
    char a;      012345678901
    short b;     ------------
    char c;      axbbcxxxdddd
    int d;
};

This structure will occupy 12 bytes of memory (x being pad bytes).

Python works similarly (see the struct documentation):

>>> import struct
>>> struct.pack('BHBL',1,2,3,4)
'\x01\x00\x02\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\x00\x00'
>>> struct.calcsize('BHBL')
12

Compilers usually have a way of eliminating padding. In Python, any of =<>! will eliminate padding:

>>> struct.calcsize('=BHBL')
8
>>> struct.pack('=BHBL',1,2,3,4)
'\x01\x02\x00\x03\x04\x00\x00\x00'

Beware of letting struct handle padding. In C, these structures:

struct A {       struct B {
    short a;         int a;
    char b;          char b;
};               };

are typically 4 and 8 bytes, respectively. The padding occurs at the end of the structure in case the structures are used in an array. This keeps the 'a' members aligned on correct boundaries for structures later in the array. Python's struct module does not pad at the end:

>>> struct.pack('LB',1,2)
'\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02'
>>> struct.pack('LBLB',1,2,3,4)
'\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x04'

How to check if IEnumerable is null or empty?

I built this off of the answer by @Matt Greer

He answered the OP's question perfectly.

I wanted something like this while maintaining the original capabilities of Any while also checking for null. I'm posting this in case anyone else needs something similar.

Specifically I wanted to still be able to pass in a predicate.

public static class Utilities
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Determines whether a sequence has a value and contains any elements.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="TSource">The type of the elements of source.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="source">The <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable"/> to check for emptiness.</param>
    /// <returns>true if the source sequence is not null and contains any elements; otherwise, false.</returns>
    public static bool AnyNotNull<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source)
    {
        return source?.Any() == true;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Determines whether a sequence has a value and any element of a sequence satisfies a condition.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="TSource">The type of the elements of source.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="source">An <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable"/> whose elements to apply the predicate to.</param>
    /// <param name="predicate">A function to test each element for a condition.</param>
    /// <returns>true if the source sequence is not null and any elements in the source sequence pass the test in the specified predicate; otherwise, false.</returns>
    public static bool AnyNotNull<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, bool> predicate)
    {
        return source?.Any(predicate) == true;
    }
}

The naming of the extension method could probably be better.

How can I check the current status of the GPS receiver?

Well, putting together every working approach will result in this (also dealing with deprecated GpsStatus.Listener):

private GnssStatus.Callback mGnssStatusCallback;
@Deprecated private GpsStatus.Listener mStatusListener;
private LocationManager mLocationManager;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

    mLocationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    if (checkPermission()) {
       mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, GPS_UPDATE_INTERVAL, MIN_DISTANCE, this);
    }

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        mGnssStatusCallback = new GnssStatus.Callback() {
            @Override
            public void onSatelliteStatusChanged(GnssStatus status) {
                satelliteStatusChanged();
            }

            @Override
            public void onFirstFix(int ttffMillis) {
                gpsFixAcquired();

            }
        };
        mLocationManager.registerGnssStatusCallback(mGnssStatusCallback);
    } else {
        mStatusListener = new GpsStatus.Listener() {
            @Override
            public void onGpsStatusChanged(int event) {
                switch (event) {
                    case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS:
                        satelliteStatusChanged();
                        break;
                    case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX:
                        // Do something.
                        gpsFixAcquired();
                        break;
                }
            }
        };
        mLocationManager.addGpsStatusListener(mStatusListener);
    }
}

private void gpsFixAcquired() {
    // Do something.
    isGPSFix = true;
}

private void satelliteStatusChanged() {
    if (mLastLocation != null)
        isGPSFix = (SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - mLastLocationMillis) < (GPS_UPDATE_INTERVAL * 2);

    if (isGPSFix) { // A fix has been acquired.
        // Do something.
    } else { // The fix has been lost.
        // Do something.
    }
}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    if (location == null) return;

    mLastLocationMillis = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();

    mLastLocation = location;
}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {

}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {

}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {

}

Note: this answer is a combination of the answers above.

#1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

MySQL assumes worst case for the number of bytes per character in the string. For the MySQL 'utf8' encoding, that's 3 bytes per character since that encoding doesn't allow characters beyond U+FFFF. For the MySQL 'utf8mb4' encoding, it's 4 bytes per character, since that's what MySQL calls actual UTF-8.

So assuming you're using 'utf8', your first column will take 60 bytes of the index, and your second another 1500.

How Can I Bypass the X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN HTTP Header?

UPDATE: 2019-12-30

It seem that this tool is no longer working! [Request for update!]

UPDATE 2019-01-06: You can bypass X-Frame-Options in an <iframe> using my X-Frame-Bypass Web Component. It extends the IFrame element by using multiple CORS proxies and it was tested in the latest Firefox and Chrome.

You can use it as follows:

  1. (Optional) Include the Custom Elements with Built-in Extends polyfill for Safari:

    <script src="https://unpkg.com/@ungap/custom-elements-builtin"></script>
    
  2. Include the X-Frame-Bypass JS module:

    <script type="module" src="x-frame-bypass.js"></script>
    
  3. Insert the X-Frame-Bypass Custom Element:

    <iframe is="x-frame-bypass" src="https://example.org/"></iframe>
    

Get path to execution directory of Windows Forms application

System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath will solve your problem, I think

Only local connections are allowed Chrome and Selenium webdriver

  1. Check the version of your installed Chrome browser.

  2. Download the compatible version of ChromeDriver from

    https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/

  3. Set the location of the compatible ChromeDriver to:

     System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\your_path\\chromedriver.exe");
    
  4. Run the Test again.

It should be good now.

Swift Error: Editor placeholder in source file

Suppress InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made in Python2.6

That's probably useful for someone, who uses unittest, if imported modules use request library. To suppress warnings in requests' vendored urllib3, add

warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', message='Unverified HTTPS request')

to setUp method in your testclass, i.e:

import unittest, warnings

class MyTests(unittest.TestCase):
    
    def setUp(self):
        warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', message='Unverified HTTPS request')
    
    (all test methods here)

How about using Xcode built-in code snippet library?

enter image description here

Update for Swift:

Many up votes inspired me to update this answer.

The build-in Xcode code snippet library has dispatch_after for only objective-c language. People can also create their own Custom Code Snippet for Swift.

Write this in Xcode.

dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(<#delayInSeconds#> * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))), dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
        <#code to be executed after a specified delay#>
    })

Drag this code and drop it in the code snippet library area. enter image description here

Bottom of the code snippet list, there will be a new entity named My Code Snippet. Edit this for a title. For suggestion as you type in the Xcode fill in the Completion Shortcut.

For more info see CreatingaCustomCodeSnippet.

Update Swift 3

Drag this code and drop it in the code snippet library area.

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .seconds(<#delayInSeconds#>)) {
    <#code to be executed after a specified delay#>
}

Call a function from another file?

append a dot(.) in front of a file name if you want to import this file which is in the same directory where you are running your code.

For example, i'm running a file named a.py and i want to import a method named addFun which is written in b.py, and b.py is there in the same directory

from .b import addFun

    for key in newParams:
        queryList.append((key, newParams[key]))
    return urlparse.urlunparse((scheme, netloc, path, params, urllib.urlencode(queryList), fragment))

How to use OAuth2RestTemplate?

In the answer from @mariubog (https://stackoverflow.com/a/27882337/1279002) I was using password grant types too as in the example but needed to set the client authentication scheme to form. Scopes were not supported by the endpoint for password and there was no need to set the grant type as the ResourceOwnerPasswordResourceDetails object sets this itself in the constructor.

...

public ResourceOwnerPasswordResourceDetails() {
    setGrantType("password");
}

...

The key thing for me was the client_id and client_secret were not being added to the form object to post in the body if resource.setClientAuthenticationScheme(AuthenticationScheme.form); was not set.

See the switch in: org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.token.auth.DefaultClientAuthenticationHandler.authenticateTokenRequest()

Finally, when connecting to Salesforce endpoint the password token needed to be appended to the password.

@EnableOAuth2Client
@Configuration
class MyConfig {

@Value("${security.oauth2.client.access-token-uri}")
private String tokenUrl;

@Value("${security.oauth2.client.client-id}")
private String clientId;

@Value("${security.oauth2.client.client-secret}")
private String clientSecret;

@Value("${security.oauth2.client.password-token}")
private String passwordToken;

@Value("${security.user.name}")
private String username;

@Value("${security.user.password}")
private String password;


@Bean
protected OAuth2ProtectedResourceDetails resource() {

    ResourceOwnerPasswordResourceDetails resource = new ResourceOwnerPasswordResourceDetails();

    resource.setAccessTokenUri(tokenUrl);
    resource.setClientId(clientId);
    resource.setClientSecret(clientSecret);
    resource.setClientAuthenticationScheme(AuthenticationScheme.form);
    resource.setUsername(username);
    resource.setPassword(password + passwordToken);

    return resource;
}

@Bean
 public OAuth2RestOperations restTemplate() {
    return new OAuth2RestTemplate(resource(), new DefaultOAuth2ClientContext(new DefaultAccessTokenRequest()));
    }
}


@Service
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
class MyService {
    @Autowired
    private OAuth2RestOperations restTemplate;

    public MyService() {
        restTemplate.getAccessToken();
    }
}

Save and retrieve image (binary) from SQL Server using Entity Framework 6

Convert the image to a byte[] and store that in the database.


Add this column to your model:

public byte[] Content { get; set; }

Then convert your image to a byte array and store that like you would any other data:

public byte[] ImageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image imageIn)
{
    using(var ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        imageIn.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);

        return ms.ToArray();
    }
}

public Image ByteArrayToImage(byte[] byteArrayIn)
{
     using(var ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn))
     {
         var returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);

         return returnImage;
     }
}

Source: Fastest way to convert Image to Byte array

var image = new ImageEntity()
{
   Content = ImageToByteArray(image)
};

_context.Images.Add(image);
_context.SaveChanges();

When you want to get the image back, get the byte array from the database and use the ByteArrayToImage and do what you wish with the Image

This stops working when the byte[] gets to big. It will work for files under 100Mb

Is it possible to create a remote repo on GitHub from the CLI without opening browser?

I wrote a nifty script for this called Gitter using the REST APIs for GitHub and BitBucket:

https://github.com/dderiso/gitter

BitBucket:

gitter -c -r b -l javascript -n node_app

GitHub:

gitter -c -r g -l javascript -n node_app
  • -c = create new repo
  • -r = repo provider (g = GitHub, b = BitBucket)
  • -n = name the repo
  • -l = (optional) set the language of the app in the repo

Delete duplicate records from a SQL table without a primary key

Use the row number to differentiate between duplicate records. Keep the first row number for an EmpID/EmpSSN and delete the rest:

    DELETE FROM Employee a
     WHERE ROW_NUMBER() <> ( SELECT MIN( ROW_NUMBER() )
                               FROM Employee b
                              WHERE a.EmpID  = b.EmpID
                                AND a.EmpSSN = b.EmpSSN )

PowerShell: Format-Table without headers

Try -ExpandProperty. For example, I use this for sending the clean variable to Out-Gridview -PassThru , otherwise the variable has the header info stored. Note that these aren't great if you want to return more than one property.

An example:

Get-ADUser -filter * | select name -expandproperty name

Alternatively, you could do this:

(Get-ADUser -filter * ).name

Can I change the Android startActivity() transition animation?

You can simply create a context and do something like below:-

private Context context = this;

And your animation:-

((Activity) context).overridePendingTransition(R.anim.abc_slide_in_bottom,R.anim.abc_slide_out_bottom);

You can use any animation you want.

Git diff between current branch and master but not including unmerged master commits

git diff `git merge-base master branch`..branch

Merge base is the point where branch diverged from master.

Git diff supports a special syntax for this:

git diff master...branch

You must not swap the sides because then you would get the other branch. You want to know what changed in branch since it diverged from master, not the other way round.

Loosely related:


Note that .. and ... syntax does not have the same semantics as in other Git tools. It differs from the meaning specified in man gitrevisions.

Quoting man git-diff:

  • git diff [--options] <commit> <commit> [--] [<path>…]

    This is to view the changes between two arbitrary <commit>.

  • git diff [--options] <commit>..<commit> [--] [<path>…]

    This is synonymous to the previous form. If <commit> on one side is omitted, it will have the same effect as using HEAD instead.

  • git diff [--options] <commit>...<commit> [--] [<path>…]

    This form is to view the changes on the branch containing and up to the second <commit>, starting at a common ancestor of both <commit>. "git diff A...B" is equivalent to "git diff $(git-merge-base A B) B". You can omit any one of <commit>, which has the same effect as using HEAD instead.

Just in case you are doing something exotic, it should be noted that all of the <commit> in the above description, except in the last two forms that use ".." notations, can be any <tree>.

For a more complete list of ways to spell <commit>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitrevisions[7]. However, "diff" is about comparing two endpoints, not ranges, and the range notations ("<commit>..<commit>" and "<commit>...<commit>") do not mean a range as defined in the "SPECIFYING RANGES" section in gitrevisions[7].

how to get the ipaddress of a virtual box running on local machine

Login to virtual machine use below command to check ip address. (anyone will work)

  1. ifconfig
  2. ip addr show

If you used NAT for your virtual machine settings(your machine ip will be 10.0.2.15), then you have to use port forwarding to connect to machine. IP address will be 127.0.0.1

If you used bridged networking/Host only networking, then you will have separate Ip address. Use that IP address to connect virtual machine

Svn switch from trunk to branch

In my case, I wanted to check out a new branch that has cut recently but it's it big in size and I want to save time and internet bandwidth, as I'm in a slow metered network

so I copped the previous branch that I already checked in

I went to the working directory, and from svn info, I can see it's on the previous branch I did the following command (you can find this command from svn switch --help)

svn switch ^/branches/newBranchName

go check svn info again you can see it is becoming the newBranchName go ahead and svn up

and this how I got the new branch easily, quickly with minimum data transmitting over the internet

hope sharing my case helps and speeds up your work

What are good grep tools for Windows?

Well, beside the Windows port of the GNU grep at:

there's also Borland's grep (very similar to GNU one) available in the freeware Borland's Free C++ Compiler (it's a freeware with command line tools).

Error using eclipse for Android - No resource found that matches the given name

For me the issue appeared because my string file could not be parsed. I wanted to have a value like '%s - %s'. However this appeared to be triggering a problem, it seems string will try to parse this value in a special way. Because two string values were provided in a single value an error was written in the console, but I had so many errors triggered from that, that the initial error was hidden, because of small console buffer. Adding formatted="false" attribute to this string value of mine fixed the problem in the string file (which btw was not reported as compilation error in the file itself) and I was able to build once more.

Fixed page header overlaps in-page anchors

It feels somewhat hacky to my purist mind but as a css-only solution you can add padding to the active anchored element using the :target selector:

_x000D_
_x000D_
html, body {height:100%; min-height:100%; margin:0;}_x000D_
body {min-height:200%;}_x000D_

header a {color:#fff;}_x000D_
section {padding:30px; margin:20px;}_x000D_
section:first-of-type, section:target {padding-top:130px;}
_x000D_

How can I link a photo in a Facebook album to a URL

You can only do this to you own photos. Due to recent upgrades, Facebook has made this more difficult. To do this, go to the album page where the photo is that you want to link to. You should see thumbnail images of the photos in the album. Hold down the "Control" or "Command" key while clicking the photo that you wish to link to. A new browser tab will open with the picture you clicked. Under the picture there is a URL that you can send to others to share the photo. You might have to have the privacy settings for that album set so that anyone can see the photos in that album. If you don't the person who clicks the link may have to be signed in and also be your "friend."

Here is an example of one of my photos: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=43764341&l=0d8a526a64&id=25502298 -it's my cat.

Update:

The link below the photo no longer appears. Once you open the photo in a new tab you can right click the photo (Control+click for Mac users) and click "Copy Image URL" or similar and then share this link. Based on my tests the person who clicks the link doesn't need to use Facebook. The photo will load without the Facebook interface. Like this - http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/189088_867367406856_25502298_43764341_1304758_n.jpg

Loading DLLs at runtime in C#

Activator.CreateInstance() returns an object, which doesn't have an Output method.

It looks like you come from dynamic programming languages? C# is definetly not that, and what you are trying to do will be difficult.

Since you are loading a specific dll from a specific location, maybe you just want to add it as a reference to your console application?

If you absolutely want to load the assembly via Assembly.Load, you will have to go via reflection to call any members on c

Something like type.GetMethod("Output").Invoke(c, null); should do it.

How can I correctly format currency using jquery?

Expanding upon Melu's answer you can do this to functionalize the code and handle negative amounts.

Sample Output:
$5.23
-$5.23

function formatCurrency(total) {
    var neg = false;
    if(total < 0) {
        neg = true;
        total = Math.abs(total);
    }
    return (neg ? "-$" : '$') + parseFloat(total, 10).toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,").toString();
}

How to create many labels and textboxes dynamically depending on the value of an integer variable?

Suppose you have a button that when pressed sets n to 5, you could then generate labels and textboxes on your form like so.

var n = 5;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
    //Create label
    Label label = new Label();
    label.Text = String.Format("Label {0}", i);
    //Position label on screen
    label.Left = 10;
    label.Top = (i + 1) * 20;
    //Create textbox
    TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
    //Position textbox on screen
    textBox.Left = 120;
    textBox.Top = (i + 1) * 20;
    //Add controls to form
    this.Controls.Add(label);
    this.Controls.Add(textBox);
}

This will not only add them to the form but position them decently as well.
