Error: Execution failed for task ':app:clean'. Unable to delete file

Another application that can be using the resources is apparently Android Studio's Kotlin REPL. I closed that, and then I could build again no problem.

Is there a sleep function in JavaScript?

A naive, CPU-intensive method to block execution for a number of milliseconds:

/**
* Delay for a number of milliseconds
*/
function sleep(delay) {
    var start = new Date().getTime();
    while (new Date().getTime() < start + delay);
}

Increasing the JVM maximum heap size for memory intensive applications

I believe the 2GB limit is for 32-bit Java. I thought v1.6 was always 64 bit, but try forcing 64 bit mode just to see: add the -d64 option.

How to completely uninstall Visual Studio 2010?

Best way I have used is to mount the VS 2010 Image or insert the Installation disc and run the uninstall option, really works well

How do I programmatically get the GUID of an application in .NET 2.0

For an out-of-the-box working example, this is what I ended up using based on the previous answers.

using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

label1.Text = "GUID: " + ((GuidAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), typeof(GuidAttribute), false)).Value.ToUpper();

Alternatively, this way allows you to use it from a static class:

    /// <summary>
    /// public GUID property for use in static class </summary>
    /// <returns>
    /// Returns the application GUID or "" if unable to get it. </returns>
    static public string AssemblyGuid
    {
        get
        {
            object[] attributes = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(GuidAttribute), false);
            if (attributes.Length == 0) { return String.Empty; }
            return ((System.Runtime.InteropServices.GuidAttribute)attributes[0]).Value.ToUpper();
        }
    }

How to compare only Date without Time in DateTime types in Linq to SQL with Entity Framework?

This is how I do this in order to work with LINQ.

DateTime date_time_to_compare = DateTime.Now;
//Compare only date parts
context.YourObject.FirstOrDefault(r =>
                EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(r.date) == EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(date_to_compare));

If you only use dtOne.Date == dtTwo.Date it wont work with LINQ (Error: The specified type member 'Date' is not supported in LINQ to Entities)

"Unicode Error "unicodeescape" codec can't decode bytes... Cannot open text files in Python 3

Typical error on Windows because the default user directory is C:\user\<your_user>, so when you want to use this path as an string parameter into a Python function, you get a Unicode error, just because the \u is a Unicode escape. Any character not numeric after this produces an error.

To solve it, just double the backslashes: C:\\user\\<\your_user>...

ReactJS: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <"

Try adding in webpack, it solved the similar issue in my project. Specially the "presets" part.

module: {
    loaders: [
        {
            test: /\.jsx?/,
            include: APP_DIR,
            loader: 'babel',
            query  :{
                presets:['react','es2015']
            }
        },

PHP: How do you determine every Nth iteration of a loop?

It will not work for first position so better solution is :

if ($counter != 0 && $counter % 3 == 0) {
   echo 'image file';
}

Check it by yourself. I have tested it for adding class for every 4th element.

How to set a selected option of a dropdown list control using angular JS

If you assign value 0 to item.selectedVariant it should be selected automatically. Check out sample on http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:select which selects red color by default by simply assigning $scope.color='red'.

Matching a Forward Slash with a regex

I encountered two issues related to the foregoing, when extracting text delimited by \ and /, and found a solution that fits both, other than using new RegExp, which requires \\\\ at the start. These findings are in Chrome and IE11.

The regular expression

/\\(.*)\//g

does not work. I think the // is interpreted as the start of a comment in spite of the escape character. The regular expression (equally valid in my case though not in general)

/\b/\\(.*)\/\b/g

does not work either. I think the second / terminates the regular expression in spite of the escape character.

What does work for me is to represent / as \x2F, which is the hexadecimal representation of /. I think that's more efficient and understandable than using new RegExp, but of course it needs a comment to identify the hex code.

Is there any boolean type in Oracle databases?

DECLARE

How to give a pandas/matplotlib bar graph custom colors

I found the easiest way is to use the colormap parameter in .plot() with one of the preset color gradients:

df.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, colormap='Paired')

enter image description here

You can find a large list of preset colormaps here.

Pretty Printing a pandas dataframe

I've just found a great tool for that need, it is called tabulate.

It prints tabular data and works with DataFrame.

from tabulate import tabulate
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'col_two' : [0.0001, 1e-005 , 1e-006, 1e-007],
                   'column_3' : ['ABCD', 'ABCD', 'long string', 'ABCD']})
print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='psql'))

+----+-----------+-------------+
|    |   col_two | column_3    |
|----+-----------+-------------|
|  0 |    0.0001 | ABCD        |
|  1 |    1e-05  | ABCD        |
|  2 |    1e-06  | long string |
|  3 |    1e-07  | ABCD        |
+----+-----------+-------------+

Note:

To suppress row indices for all types of data, pass showindex="never" or showindex=False.

Laravel-5 how to populate select box from database with id value and name value

Laravel 5.3 use pluck($value, $key )

$value is displayed in your drop list and $key is id

controller

$products = Product::pluck('name', 'id');

return view('main.index', compact('products'));

view

{{ Form::select('id', $products, null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}

JPA 2.0, Criteria API, Subqueries, In Expressions

Late resurrection.

Your query seems very similar to the one at page 259 of the book Pro JPA 2: Mastering the Java Persistence API, which in JPQL reads:

SELECT e 
FROM Employee e 
WHERE e IN (SELECT emp
              FROM Project p JOIN p.employees emp 
             WHERE p.name = :project)

Using EclipseLink + H2 database, I couldn't get neither the book's JPQL nor the respective criteria working. For this particular problem I have found that if you reference the id directly instead of letting the persistence provider figure it out everything works as expected:

SELECT e 
FROM Employee e 
WHERE e.id IN (SELECT emp.id
                 FROM Project p JOIN p.employees emp 
                WHERE p.name = :project)

Finally, in order to address your question, here is an equivalent strongly typed criteria query that works:

CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Employee> c = cb.createQuery(Employee.class);
Root<Employee> emp = c.from(Employee.class);

Subquery<Integer> sq = c.subquery(Integer.class);
Root<Project> project = sq.from(Project.class);
Join<Project, Employee> sqEmp = project.join(Project_.employees);

sq.select(sqEmp.get(Employee_.id)).where(
        cb.equal(project.get(Project_.name), 
        cb.parameter(String.class, "project")));

c.select(emp).where(
        cb.in(emp.get(Employee_.id)).value(sq));

TypedQuery<Employee> q = em.createQuery(c);
q.setParameter("project", projectName); // projectName is a String
List<Employee> employees = q.getResultList();

BigDecimal setScale and round

There is indeed a big difference, which you should keep in mind. setScale really set the scale of your number whereas round does round your number to the specified digits BUT it "starts from the leftmost digit of exact result" as mentioned within the jdk. So regarding your sample the results are the same, but try 0.0034 instead. Here's my note about that on my blog:

WPF: Setting the Width (and Height) as a Percentage Value

IValueConverter implementation can be used. Converter class which takes inheritance from IValueConverter takes some parameters like value (percentage) and parameter (parent's width) and returns desired width value. In XAML file, component's width is set with the desired value:

public class SizePercentageConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (parameter == null)
            return 0.7 * value.ToDouble();

        string[] split = parameter.ToString().Split('.');
        double parameterDouble = split[0].ToDouble() + split[1].ToDouble() / (Math.Pow(10, split[1].Length));
        return value.ToDouble() * parameterDouble;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        // Don't need to implement this
        return null;
    }
}

XAML:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <m:SizePercentageConverter x:Key="PercentageConverter" />
</UserControl.Resources>

<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
          HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
          Width="{Binding Converter={StaticResource PercentageConverter}, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type Border}},Path=ActualWidth}"
          Height="{Binding Converter={StaticResource PercentageConverter}, ConverterParameter=0.6, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type Border}},Path=ActualHeight}">
....
</ScrollViewer>

Mean per group in a data.frame

You can also use package plyr, which is somehow more versatile:

library(plyr)

ddply(d, .(Name), summarize,  Rate1=mean(Rate1), Rate2=mean(Rate2))

  Name    Rate1    Rate2
1 Aira 16.33333 47.00000
2  Ben 31.33333 50.33333
3  Cat 44.66667 54.00000

Getting the thread ID from a thread

GetThreadId returns the ID of a given native thread. There are ways to make it work with managed threads, I'm sure, all you need to find is the thread handle and pass it to that function.

GetCurrentThreadId returns the ID of the current thread.

GetCurrentThreadId has been deprecated as of .NET 2.0: the recommended way is the Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId property.

Is there a way to make HTML5 video fullscreen?

it's simple, all the problems can be solved like this,

1) have escape always take you out of fullscreen mode (this doesn't apply to manually entering fullscreen through f11)

2) temporarily display a small banner saying fullscreen video mode is entered (by the browser)

3) block fullscreen action by default, just like has been done for pop-ups and local database in html5 and location api and etc, etc.

i don't see any problems with this design. anyone think i missed anything?

How can I change the default Django date template format?

What you need is a date template filter.

e.g:

This returns Joined December 2018

Can I change the checkbox size using CSS?

An easy solution is use the property zoom:

_x000D_
_x000D_
input[type="checkbox"] {_x000D_
    zoom: 1.5;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<input type="checkbox" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Error With Port 8080 already in use

This Worked for me > In Eclipse NEON double clicked on Server tab which redirects server overview window

Hope this helps you.

How to distinguish between left and right mouse click with jQuery

Edit: I changed it to work for dynamically added elements using .on() in jQuery 1.7 or above:

$(document).on("contextmenu", ".element", function(e){
   alert('Context Menu event has fired!');
   return false;
});

Demo: jsfiddle.net/Kn9s7/5

[Start of original post] This is what worked for me:

$('.element').bind("contextmenu",function(e){
   alert('Context Menu event has fired!');
   return false;
}); 

In case you are into multiple solutions ^^

Edit: Tim Down brings up a good point that it's not always going to be a right-click that fires the contextmenu event, but also when the context menu key is pressed (which is arguably a replacement for a right-click)

Best way to parse RSS/Atom feeds with PHP

With 4 lines, I import a rss to an array.

$feed = implode(file('http://yourdomains.com/feed.rss'));
$xml = simplexml_load_string($feed);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);

For a more complex solution

$feed = new DOMDocument();
 $feed->load('file.rss');
 $json = array();
 $json['title'] = $feed->getElementsByTagName('channel')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;
 $json['description'] = $feed->getElementsByTagName('channel')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;
 $json['link'] = $feed->getElementsByTagName('channel')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;
 $items = $feed->getElementsByTagName('channel')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('item');

 $json['item'] = array();
 $i = 0;

 foreach($items as $key => $item) {
 $title = $item->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;
 $description = $item->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;
 $pubDate = $item->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;
 $guid = $item->getElementsByTagName('guid')->item(0)->firstChild->nodeValue;

 $json['item'][$key]['title'] = $title;
 $json['item'][$key]['description'] = $description;
 $json['item'][$key]['pubdate'] = $pubDate;
 $json['item'][$key]['guid'] = $guid; 
 }

echo json_encode($json);

pass parameter by link_to ruby on rails

The above did not work for me but this did

<%= link_to "text_to_show_in_url", action_controller_path(:gender => "male", :param2=> "something_else") %>

CodeIgniter - File upload required validation

I found a solution that works exactly how I want.

I changed

$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('code', 'Code', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('userfile', 'Document', 'required');

To

$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('code', 'Code', 'trim|required');
if (empty($_FILES['userfile']['name']))
{
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('userfile', 'Document', 'required');
}

Convert Select Columns in Pandas Dataframe to Numpy Array

The fastest and easiest way is to use .as_matrix(). One short line:

df.iloc[:,[1,2,3]].as_matrix()

Gives:

array([[3, 2, 0.816497],
   [0, 'NaN', 'NaN'],
   [2, 51, 50.0]], dtype=object)

By using indices of the columns, you can use this code for any dataframe with different column names.

Here are the steps for your example:

import pandas as pd
columns = ['viz', 'a1_count', 'a1_mean', 'a1_std']
index = [0,1,2]
vals = {'viz': ['n','n','n'], 'a1_count': [3,0,2], 'a1_mean': [2,'NaN', 51], 'a1_std': [0.816497, 'NaN', 50.000000]}
df = pd.DataFrame(vals, columns=columns, index=index)

Gives:

   viz  a1_count a1_mean    a1_std
0   n         3       2  0.816497
1   n         0     NaN       NaN
2   n         2      51        50

Then:

x1 = df.iloc[:,[1,2,3]].as_matrix()

Gives:

array([[3, 2, 0.816497],
   [0, 'NaN', 'NaN'],
   [2, 51, 50.0]], dtype=object)

Where x1 is numpy.ndarray.

What's a Good Javascript Time Picker?

NoGray is nice eye candy but there are a few usability considerations. Firstly, analog clocks are growing increasingly obscure, and younger people sometimes have a difficult time reading them. Secondly, dragging with a mouse to a specific time is a bit tedious, just like the time pickers that use a slider. Thirdly, keyboard interaction for this picker is a bit sporadic.

For a more usable time picker, check out the Any+Time™ Datepicker/Timepicker AJAX Calendar Widget. It's perhaps the fastest-and-easiest-to-use time picker available, because it uses simple buttons to select specific times with speed and ease.

An interesting test of usability is this: pick an odd time (say, 10:32pm), then see how long it takes to accurately select that time using various time pickers. You can probably do it faster with Any+Time™ than you could write out the time by hand--just try to find another picker you can say that about! Not to mention, Any+Time™ supports a countless variety of date/time formats, 12/24-hour clock, full CSS (or jQuery UI) customization and even time zones!

Disabling Log4J Output in Java

 log4j.rootLogger=OFF

Session TimeOut in web.xml

Hacky way:

You could increase the session timeout programmatically when a large up-/download is expected.

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(TWO_HOURS_IN_SECONDS)

When the process ends, you could set the timeout back to its default.

But.. when you are on Java EE, and the up-/download doesn't take a complete hour, the better way was to run the tasks asynchronous (via JMS e.g.).

Java - Access is denied java.io.FileNotFoundException

When you create a new File, you are supposed to provide the file name, not only the directory you want to put your file in.

Try with something like

File file = new File("D:/Data/" + item.getFileName());

how to run two commands in sudo?

An alternative using eval so avoiding use of a subshell:

sudo -s eval 'whoami; whoami'

Note: The other answers using sudo -s fail because the quotes are being passed on to bash and run as a single command so need to strip quotes with eval. eval is better explained is this SO answer

Quoting within the commands is easier too:

$ sudo -s eval 'whoami; whoami; echo "end;"'
root
root
end;

And if the commands need to stop running if one fails use double-ampersands instead of semi-colons:

$ sudo -s eval 'whoami && whoamit && echo "end;"'
root
/bin/bash: whoamit: command not found

Where can I set path to make.exe on Windows?

I had issues for a whilst not getting Terraform commands to run unless I was in the directory of the exe, even though I set the path correctly.

For anyone else finding this issue, I fixed it by moving the environment variable higher than others!

Write lines of text to a file in R

Actually you can do it with sink():

sink("outfile.txt")
cat("hello")
cat("\n")
cat("world")
sink()

hence do:

file.show("outfile.txt")
# hello
# world

Laravel blade check empty foreach

This is my best solution if I understood the question well:

Use of $object->first() method to run the code inside if statement once, that is when on the first loop. The same concept is true with $object->last().

    @if($object->first())
        <div class="panel user-list">
          <table id="myCustomTable" class="table table-hover">
              <thead>
                  <tr>
                     <th class="col-email">Email</th>
                  </tr>
              </thead>
              <tbody>
    @endif

    @foreach ($object as $data)
        <tr class="gradeX">
           <td class="col-name"><strong>{{ $data->email }}</strong></td>
        </tr>
    @endforeach

    @if($object->last())
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </div>

Prevent users from submitting a form by hitting Enter

I needed to prevent only specific inputs from submitting, so I used a class selector, to let this be a "global" feature wherever I need it.

<input id="txtEmail" name="txtEmail" class="idNoEnter" .... />

And this jQuery code:

$('.idNoEnter').keydown(function (e) {
  if (e.keyCode == 13) {
    e.preventDefault();
  }
});

Alternatively, if keydown is insufficient:

$('.idNoEnter').on('keypress keydown keyup', function (e) {
   if (e.keyCode == 13) {
     e.preventDefault();
   }
});

Some notes:

Modifying various good answers here, the Enter key seems to work for keydown on all the browsers. For the alternative, I updated bind() to the on() method.

I'm a big fan of class selectors, weighing all the pros and cons and performance discussions. My naming convention is 'idSomething' to indicate jQuery is using it as an id, to separate it from CSS styling.

jQuery: Check if special characters exists in string

You are checking whether the string contains all illegal characters. Change the ||s to &&s.

C++ compile time error: expected identifier before numeric constant

Since your compiler probably doesn't support all of C++11 yet, which supports similar syntax, you're getting these errors because you have to initialize your class members in constructors:

how to rotate a bitmap 90 degrees

Just be careful of Bitmap type from java platform call like from comm1x's and Gnzlt's answers, because it might return null. I think it is also more flexible if the parameter can be any Number and use infix for readability, depends on your coding style.

infix fun Bitmap.rotate(degrees: Number): Bitmap? {
    return Bitmap.createBitmap(
        this,
        0,
        0,
        width,
        height,
        Matrix().apply { postRotate(degrees.toFloat()) },
        true
    )
}

How to use?

bitmap rotate 90
// or
bitmap.rotate(90)

Populate a datagridview with sql query results

Plotting dates on the x-axis with Python's matplotlib

As @KyssTao has been saying, help(dates.num2date) says that the x has to be a float giving the number of days since 0001-01-01 plus one. Hence, 19910102 is not 2/Jan/1991, because if you counted 19910101 days from 0001-01-01 you'd get something in the year 54513 or similar (divide by 365.25, number of days in a year).

Use datestr2num instead (see help(dates.datestr2num)):

new_x = dates.datestr2num(date) # where date is '01/02/1991'

Function pointer to member function

While you unfortunately cannot convert an existing member function pointer to a plain function pointer, you can create an adapter function template in a fairly straightforward way that wraps a member function pointer known at compile-time in a normal function like this:

template <class Type>
struct member_function;

template <class Type, class Ret, class... Args>
struct member_function<Ret(Type::*)(Args...)>
{
    template <Ret(Type::*Func)(Args...)>
    static Ret adapter(Type &obj, Args&&... args)
    {
        return (obj.*Func)(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
    }
};

template <class Type, class Ret, class... Args>
struct member_function<Ret(Type::*)(Args...) const>
{
    template <Ret(Type::*Func)(Args...) const>
    static Ret adapter(const Type &obj, Args&&... args)
    {
        return (obj.*Func)(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
    }
};

 

int (*func)(A&) = &member_function<decltype(&A::f)>::adapter<&A::f>;

Note that in order to call the member function, an instance of A must be provided.

Remove all special characters with RegExp

Plain Javascript regex does not handle Unicode letters.

Do not use [^\w\s], this will remove letters with accents (like àèéìòù), not to mention to Cyrillic or Chinese, letters coming from such languages will be completed removed.

You really don't want remove these letters together with all the special characters. You have two chances:

  • Add in your regex all the special characters you don't want remove,
    for example: [^èéòàùì\w\s].
  • Have a look at xregexp.com. XRegExp adds base support for Unicode matching via the \p{...} syntax.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var str = "????::: résd,$%& adùf"
var search = XRegExp('([^?<first>\\pL ]+)');
var res = XRegExp.replace(str, search, '',"all");

console.log(res); // returns "????::: resd,adf"
console.log(str.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '') ); // returns " rsd adf"
console.log(str.replace(/[^\wèéòàùì\s]/gi, '') ); // returns " résd adùf"

Java 'file.delete()' Is not Deleting Specified File

Be sure to find out your current working directory, and write your filepath relative to it.

This code:

File here = new File(".");
System.out.println(here.getAbsolutePath());

... will print out that directory.

Also, unrelated to your question, try to use File.separator to remain OS-independent. Backslashes work only on Windows.

How to show a dialog to confirm that the user wishes to exit an Android Activity?

I'd prefer to exit with double tap on the back button than with an exit Dialog.

In this solution, it show a toast when go back for the first time, warning that another back press will close the App. In this example less than 4 seconds.

private Toast toast;
private long lastBackPressTime = 0;

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
  if (this.lastBackPressTime < System.currentTimeMillis() - 4000) {
    toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Press back again to close this app", 4000);
    toast.show();
    this.lastBackPressTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
  } else {
    if (toast != null) {
    toast.cancel();
  }
  super.onBackPressed();
 }
}

C# Form.Close vs Form.Dispose

This forum on MSDN tells you.

Form.Close() sends the proper Windows messages to shut down the win32 window. During that process, if the form was not shown modally, Dispose is called on the form. Disposing the form frees up the unmanaged resources that the form is holding onto.

If you do a form1.Show() or Application.Run(new Form1()), Dispose will be called when Close() is called.

However, if you do form1.ShowDialog() to show the form modally, the form will not be disposed, and you'll need to call form1.Dispose() yourself. I believe this is the only time you should worry about disposing the form yourself.

What does the exclamation mark do before the function?

Its just to save a byte of data when we do javascript minification.

consider the below anonymous function

function (){}

To make the above as self invoking function we will generally change the above code as

(function (){}())

Now we added two extra characters (,) apart from adding () at the end of the function which necessary to call the function. In the process of minification we generally focus to reduce the file size. So we can also write the above function as

!function (){}()

Still both are self invoking functions and we save a byte as well. Instead of 2 characters (,) we just used one character !

Javascript replace with reference to matched group?

You can use replace instead of gsub.

Check if an element contains a class in JavaScript?

Here is a little snippet If you’re trying to check wether element contains a class, without using jQuery.

function hasClass(element, className) {
    return element.className && new RegExp("(^|\\s)" + className + "(\\s|$)").test(element.className);
}

This accounts for the fact that element might contain multiple class names separated by space.

OR


You can also assign this function to element prototype.

Element.prototype.hasClass = function(className) {
    return this.className && new RegExp("(^|\\s)" + className + "(\\s|$)").test(this.className);
};

And trigger it like this (very similar to jQuery’s .hasClass() function):

document.getElementById('MyDiv').hasClass('active');

Does MS SQL Server's "between" include the range boundaries?

The BETWEEN operator is inclusive.

From Books Online:

BETWEEN returns TRUE if the value of test_expression is greater than or equal to the value of begin_expression and less than or equal to the value of end_expression.

DateTime Caveat

NB: With DateTimes you have to be careful; if only a date is given the value is taken as of midnight on that day; to avoid missing times within your end date, or repeating the capture of the following day's data at midnight in multiple ranges, your end date should be 3 milliseconds before midnight on of day following your to date. 3 milliseconds because any less than this and the value will be rounded up to midnight the next day.

e.g. to get all values within June 2016 you'd need to run:

where myDateTime between '20160601' and DATEADD(millisecond, -3, '20160701')

i.e.

where myDateTime between '20160601 00:00:00.000' and '20160630 23:59:59.997'

datetime2 and datetimeoffset

Subtracting 3 ms from a date will leave you vulnerable to missing rows from the 3 ms window. The correct solution is also the simplest one:

where myDateTime >= '20160601' AND myDateTime < '20160701'

plot legends without border and with white background

Use option bty = "n" in legend to remove the box around the legend. For example:

       bty = "n")

Moment Js UTC to Local Time

I've created one function which converts all the timezones into local time.

Requirements:

1. npm i moment-timezone

function utcToLocal(utcdateTime, tz) {
    var zone = moment.tz(tz).format("Z") // Actual zone value e:g +5:30
    var zoneValue = zone.replace(/[^0-9: ]/g, "") // Zone value without + - chars
    var operator = zone && zone.split("") && zone.split("")[0] === "-" ? "-" : "+" // operator for addition subtraction
    var localDateTime
    var hours = zoneValue.split(":")[0]
    var minutes = zoneValue.split(":")[1]
    if (operator === "-") {
        localDateTime = moment(utcdateTime).subtract(hours, "hours").subtract(minutes, "minutes").format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
    } else if (operator) {
        localDateTime = moment(utcdateTime).add(hours, "hours").add(minutes, "minutes").format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
    } else {
        localDateTime = "Invalid Timezone Operator"
    }
    return localDateTime
}

utcToLocal("2019-11-14 07:15:37", "Asia/Kolkata")

//Returns "2019-11-14 12:45:37"

Swift - How to detect orientation changes

Swift 4

I've had some minor issues when updating the ViewControllers view using UIDevice.current.orientation, such as updating constraints of tableview cells during rotation or animation of subviews.

Instead of the above methods I am currently comparing the transition size to the view controllers view size. This seems like the proper way to go since one has access to both at this point in code:

override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
    super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)
    print("Will Transition to size \(size) from super view size \(self.view.frame.size)")

    if (size.width > self.view.frame.size.width) {
        print("Landscape")
    } else {
        print("Portrait")
    }

    if (size.width != self.view.frame.size.width) {
        // Reload TableView to update cell's constraints.
    // Ensuring no dequeued cells have old constraints.
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }
    }


}

Output on a iPhone 6:

Will Transition to size (667.0, 375.0) from super view size (375.0, 667.0) 
Will Transition to size (375.0, 667.0) from super view size (667.0, 375.0)

jquery <a> tag click event

That's because your hidden fields have duplicate IDs, so jQuery only returns the first in the set. Give them classes instead, like .uid and grab them via:

var uids = $(".uid").map(function() {
    return this.value;
}).get();

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/karim79/FtcnJ/

EDIT: say your output looks like the following (notice, IDs have changed to classes)

<fieldset><legend>John Smith</legend>
<img src='foo.jpg'/><br>
<a href="#" class="aaf">add as friend</a>
<input name="uid" type="hidden" value='<?php echo $row->uid;?>' class="uid">
</fieldset>

You can target the 'uid' relative to the clicked anchor like this:

$("a.aaf").click(function() {
    alert($(this).next('.uid').val());
});

Important: do not have any duplicate IDs. They will cause problems. They are invalid, bad and you should not do it.

How to resolve conflicts in EGit

As it's an issue we face more than often, below are the steps to resolve it.

  1. Open the Git perspective. In the Git Repository view, go to on Branches ? Local ? master and right click ? Merge...

  2. It should auto select Remote Tracking ? *origin/master. Press Merge.

  3. Launch stage view in Eclipse.

  4. Double click the files which initially showed conflict

  5. In the conflict merge view, by selecting the left arrow for all the non-conflict + conflict changes from left to right, you can resolve all the conflicts.

  6. Save the merged file.

  7. Do a Team ? pull from Eclipse again.

You are all set :)

Unit Testing C Code

How do I replace a double-quote with an escape-char double-quote in a string using JavaScript?

Try this:

str.replace("\"", "\\\""); // (Escape backslashes and embedded double-quotes)

Or, use single-quotes to quote your search and replace strings:

str.replace('"', '\\"');   // (Still need to escape the backslash)

As pointed out by helmus, if the first parameter passed to .replace() is a string it will only replace the first occurrence. To replace globally, you have to pass a regex with the g (global) flag:

str.replace(/"/g, "\\\"");
// or
str.replace(/"/g, '\\"');

But why are you even doing this in JavaScript? It's OK to use these escape characters if you have a string literal like:

var str = "Dude, he totally said that \"You Rock!\"";

But this is necessary only in a string literal. That is, if your JavaScript variable is set to a value that a user typed in a form field you don't need to this escaping.

Regarding your question about storing such a string in an SQL database, again you only need to escape the characters if you're embedding a string literal in your SQL statement - and remember that the escape characters that apply in SQL aren't (usually) the same as for JavaScript. You'd do any SQL-related escaping server-side.

How to make a new line or tab in <string> XML (eclipse/android)?

  • Include this line in your layout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  • Now , use \n for new line and \t for space like tab.
  • Example :

    for \n : android:text="Welcome back ! \nPlease login to your account agilanbu"

    for \t : android:text="Welcome back ! \tPlease login to your account agilanbu"

Pretty printing XML in Python

For converting an entire xml document to a pretty xml document
(ex: assuming you've extracted [unzipped] a LibreOffice Writer .odt or .ods file, and you want to convert the ugly "content.xml" file to a pretty one for automated git version control and git difftooling of .odt/.ods files, such as I'm implementing here)

import xml.dom.minidom

file = open("./content.xml", 'r')
xml_string = file.read()
file.close()

parsed_xml = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xml_string)
pretty_xml_as_string = parsed_xml.toprettyxml()

file = open("./content_new.xml", 'w')
file.write(pretty_xml_as_string)
file.close()

Installing Android Studio, does not point to a valid JVM installation error

Recently I am working with the 1.8.0_25 JDK version on Windows 8.1 and I had the same problem with this. But as PankaJ Jakhar said

The real solution for me was pretty simple:

  1. Add the JAVA_HOME variable to the system ones, not on the user ones.
  2. The path I introduced for this variable was:

    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\
    

And it works for me!

How to save an HTML5 Canvas as an image on a server?

If you want to save data that is derived from a Javascript canvas.toDataURL() function, you have to convert blanks into plusses. If you do not do that, the decoded data is corrupted:

<?php
  $encodedData = str_replace(' ','+',$encodedData);
  $decocedData = base64_decode($encodedData);
?>

How to query GROUP BY Month in a Year

I would be inclined to include the year in the output. One way:

select to_char(DATE_CREATED, 'YYYY-MM'), sum(Num_of_Pictures)
from pictures_table
group by to_char(DATE_CREATED, 'YYYY-MM')
order by 1

Another way (more standard SQL):

select extract(year from date_created) as yr, extract(month from date_created) as mon,
       sum(Num_of_Pictures)
from pictures_table
group by extract(year from date_created), extract(month from date_created)
order by yr, mon;

Remember the order by, since you presumably want these in order, and there is no guarantee about the order that rows are returned in after a group by.

Import MySQL database into a MS SQL Server

Use SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA)

In addition to MySQL it supports Oracle, Sybase and MS Access.

It appears to be quite smart and capable of handling even nontrivial transfers. It also got some command line interface (in addition to GUI) so theoretically it can be integrated into some batch load process.

Push local Git repo to new remote including all branches and tags

I was in a process of switching from one version control service to another and needed to clone all repositories including all branches, tags and history.

To achieve above I did next:

  • manually checkout all branches to local repository (script to checkout all shown below),
  • git push origin '*:*'

.sh script used to checkout all branches to local repository:

for branch in `git branch -a | grep remotes | grep -v HEAD | grep -v master `; do
   git branch --track ${branch#remotes/origin/} $branch
done

//put path to your image in a clipboard
StringSelection ss = new StringSelection(file.getAbsoluteFile());
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);

//imitate mouse events like ENTER, CTRL+C, CTRL+V
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.delay(250);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.delay(50);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

Get name of currently executing test in JUnit 4

JUnit 5 and higher

In JUnit 5 you can inject TestInfo which simplifies test meta data providing to test methods. For example:

@Test
@DisplayName("This is my test")
@Tag("It is my tag")
void test1(TestInfo testInfo) {
    assertEquals("This is my test", testInfo.getDisplayName());
    assertTrue(testInfo.getTags().contains("It is my tag"));
}

See more: JUnit 5 User guide, TestInfo javadoc.

XPath OR operator for different nodes

If you want to select only one of two nodes with union operator, you can use this solution: (//bookstore/book/title | //bookstore/city/zipcode/title)[1]

how to download file in react js

This is how I did it in React:

import MyPDF from '../path/to/file.pdf';
<a href={myPDF} download="My_File.pdf"> Download Here </a>

It's important to override the default file name with download="name_of_file_you_want.pdf" or else the file will get a hash number attached to it when you download.

Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip'

I had the same problem. (My problem is with gradle 4.4 files)

Actually the problem is incorrect downloading of 4.4 gradle which already I had. When I delete gradle 4.4 version C:\Users\$Your_User\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-4.4-all

Android studio again downloads gradle-4.4 and syncs with my project.

Now it had rectified with the help of Michelin Man

Thanks for your answer Michelin

How to get longitude and latitude of any address?

Use the following code for getting lat and long using php. Here are two methods:

Type-1:

    <?php
     // Get lat and long by address         
        $address = $dlocation; // Google HQ
        $prepAddr = str_replace(' ','+',$address);
        $geocode=file_get_contents('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='.$prepAddr.'&sensor=false');
        $output= json_decode($geocode);
        $latitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
        $longitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;

?>

edit - Google Maps requests must be over https

Type-2:

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
     <script>
      var geocoder;
      var map;
      function initialize() {
        geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
         var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(50.804400, -1.147250);
        var mapOptions = {
         zoom: 6,
         center: latlng
        }
         map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas12'), mapOptions);
        }

       function codeAddress(address,tutorname,url,distance,prise,postcode) {
       var address = address;

        geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
         if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
          map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
           var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
          map: map,
          position: results[0].geometry.location
      });

      var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
         content: 'Tutor Name: '+tutorname+'<br>Price Guide: '+prise+'<br>Distance: '+distance+' Miles from you('+postcode+')<br> <a href="'+url+'" target="blank">View Tutor profile</a> '
       });
        infowindow.open(map,marker);

          } /*else {
          alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
        }*/
       });
     }


      google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

     window.onload = function(){
      initialize();
      // your code here
      <?php foreach($addr as $add) { 

      ?>
      codeAddress('<?php echo $add['address']; ?>','<?php echo $add['tutorname']; ?>','<?php echo $add['url']; ?>','<?php echo $add['distance']; ?>','<?php echo $add['prise']; ?>','<?php echo substr( $postcode1,0,4); ?>');
      <?php } ?>
    };
      </script>

Basic Python client socket example

Here is a pretty simple socket program. This is about as simple as sockets get.

for the client program(CPU 1)

import socket

s = socket.socket()
host = '111.111.0.11' # needs to be in quote
port = 1247
s.connect((host, port))
print s.recv(1024)
inpt = raw_input('type anything and click enter... ')
s.send(inpt)
print "the message has been sent"

You have to replace the 111.111.0.11 in line 4 with the IP number found in the second computers network settings.

For the server program(CPU 2)

import socket

s = socket.socket()
host = socket.gethostname()
port = 1247
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(5)
while True:
    c, addr = s.accept()
    print("Connection accepted from " + repr(addr[1]))

    c.send("Server approved connection\n")
    print repr(addr[1]) + ": " + c.recv(1026)
    c.close()

Run the server program and then the client one.

MySql: Tinyint (2) vs tinyint(1) - what is the difference?

About the INT, TINYINT... These are different data types, INT is 4-byte number, TINYINT is 1-byte number. More information here - INTEGER, INT, SMALLINT, TINYINT, MEDIUMINT, BIGINT.

The syntax of TINYINT data type is TINYINT(M), where M indicates the maximum display width (used only if your MySQL client supports it).

Getting content/message from HttpResponseMessage

If you want to cast it to specific type (e.g. within tests) you can use ReadAsAsync extension method:

object yourTypeInstance = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync(typeof(YourType));

or following for synchronous code:

object yourTypeInstance = response.Content.ReadAsAsync(typeof(YourType)).Result;

Update: there is also generic option of ReadAsAsync<> which returns specific type instance instead of object-declared one:

YourType yourTypeInstance = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<YourType>();

X-Frame-Options Allow-From multiple domains

I had to add X-Frame-Options for IE and Content-Security-Policy for other browsers. So i did something like following.

if allowed_domains.present?
  request_host = URI.parse(request.referer)
  _domain = allowed_domains.split(" ").include?(request_host.host) ? "#{request_host.scheme}://#{request_host.host}" : app_host
  response.headers['Content-Security-Policy'] = "frame-ancestors #{_domain}"
  response.headers['X-Frame-Options'] = "ALLOW-FROM #{_domain}"
else
  response.headers.except! 'X-Frame-Options'
end

CFLAGS vs CPPFLAGS

The implicit make rule for compiling a C program is

%.o:%.c
    $(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<

where the $() syntax expands the variables. As both CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS are used in the compiler call, which you use to define include paths is a matter of personal taste. For instance if foo.c is a file in the current directory

make foo.o CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
make foo.o CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"

will both call your compiler in exactly the same way, namely

gcc -I/usr/include -c -o foo.o foo.c

The difference between the two comes into play when you have multiple languages which need the same include path, for instance if you have bar.cpp then try

make bar.o CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
make bar.o CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"

then the compilations will be

g++ -I/usr/include -c -o bar.o bar.cpp
g++ -c -o bar.o bar.cpp

as the C++ implicit rule also uses the CPPFLAGS variable.

This difference gives you a good guide for which to use - if you want the flag to be used for all languages put it in CPPFLAGS, if it's for a specific language put it in CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS etc. Examples of the latter type include standard compliance or warning flags - you wouldn't want to pass -std=c99 to your C++ compiler!

You might then end up with something like this in your makefile

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include
CFLAGS=-std=c99
CXXFLAGS=-Weffc++

ng-options with simple array init

You actually had it correct in your third attempt.

 <select ng-model="myselect" ng-options="o as o for o in options"></select>

See a working example here: http://plnkr.co/edit/xEERH2zDQ5mPXt9qCl6k?p=preview

The trick is that AngularJS writes the keys as numbers from 0 to n anyway, and translates back when updating the model.

As a result, the HTML will look incorrect but the model will still be set properly when choosing a value. (i.e. AngularJS will translate '0' back to 'var1')

The solution by Epokk also works, however if you're loading data asynchronously you might find it doesn't always update correctly. Using ngOptions will correctly refresh when the scope changes.

gradlew command not found?

If you are using VS Code with flutter, you should find it in your app folder, under the android folder:

C:\myappFolder\android

You can run this in the terminal:

./gradlew signingReport

How do I reset the setInterval timer?

Once you clear the interval using clearInterval you could setInterval once again. And to avoid repeating the callback externalize it as a separate function:

var ticker = function() {
    console.log('idle');
};

then:

var myTimer = window.setInterval(ticker, 4000);

then when you decide to restart:

window.clearInterval(myTimer);
myTimer = window.setInterval(ticker, 4000);

Vertically aligning a checkbox

Vertical alignment only works on inline elements. If you float it, then I don't think it is treated as part of that stream of inline elements any more.

Make the label an inline-block, and use vertical alignment on both the label and the input to align their middles. Then, assuming it is okay to have a specific width on the labels and checkboxes, use relative positioning instead of floating to swap them (jsFiddle demo):

input {
    width: 20px;

    position: relative;
    left: 200px;

    vertical-align: middle;
}

label {  
    width: 200px;

    position: relative;
    left: -20px;

    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Compilation fails with "relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object"

Fixed it with -no-pie option in linker stage:

g++-8 -L"/home/pedro/workspace/project/lib" -no-pie ...

CSS two divs next to each other

You can use flexbox to lay out your items:

_x000D_
_x000D_
#parent {_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
}_x000D_
#narrow {_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
  background: lightblue;_x000D_
  /* Just so it's visible */_x000D_
}_x000D_
#wide {_x000D_
  flex: 1;_x000D_
  /* Grow to rest of container */_x000D_
  background: lightgreen;_x000D_
  /* Just so it's visible */_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div id="parent">_x000D_
  <div id="wide">Wide (rest of width)</div>_x000D_
  <div id="narrow">Narrow (200px)</div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This is basically just scraping the surface of flexbox. Flexbox can do pretty amazing things.


For older browser support, you can use CSS float and a width properties to solve it.

_x000D_
_x000D_
#narrow {_x000D_
  float: right;_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
  background: lightblue;_x000D_
}_x000D_
#wide {_x000D_
  float: left;_x000D_
  width: calc(100% - 200px);_x000D_
  background: lightgreen;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div id="parent">_x000D_
  <div id="wide">Wide (rest of width)</div>_x000D_
  <div id="narrow">Narrow (200px)</div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Grouping functions (tapply, by, aggregate) and the *apply family

There are lots of great answers which discuss differences in the use cases for each function. None of the answer discuss the differences in performance. That is reasonable cause various functions expects various input and produces various output, yet most of them have a general common objective to evaluate by series/groups. My answer is going to focus on performance. Due to above the input creation from the vectors is included in the timing, also the apply function is not measured.

I have tested two different functions sum and length at once. Volume tested is 50M on input and 50K on output. I have also included two currently popular packages which were not widely used at the time when question was asked, data.table and dplyr. Both are definitely worth to look if you are aiming for good performance.

library(dplyr)
library(data.table)
set.seed(123)
n = 5e7
k = 5e5
x = runif(n)
grp = sample(k, n, TRUE)

timing = list()

# sapply
timing[["sapply"]] = system.time({
    lt = split(x, grp)
    r.sapply = sapply(lt, function(x) list(sum(x), length(x)), simplify = FALSE)
})

# lapply
timing[["lapply"]] = system.time({
    lt = split(x, grp)
    r.lapply = lapply(lt, function(x) list(sum(x), length(x)))
})

# tapply
timing[["tapply"]] = system.time(
    r.tapply <- tapply(x, list(grp), function(x) list(sum(x), length(x)))
)

# by
timing[["by"]] = system.time(
    r.by <- by(x, list(grp), function(x) list(sum(x), length(x)), simplify = FALSE)
)

# aggregate
timing[["aggregate"]] = system.time(
    r.aggregate <- aggregate(x, list(grp), function(x) list(sum(x), length(x)), simplify = FALSE)
)

# dplyr
timing[["dplyr"]] = system.time({
    df = data_frame(x, grp)
    r.dplyr = summarise(group_by(df, grp), sum(x), n())
})

# data.table
timing[["data.table"]] = system.time({
    dt = setnames(setDT(list(x, grp)), c("x","grp"))
    r.data.table = dt[, .(sum(x), .N), grp]
})

# all output size match to group count
sapply(list(sapply=r.sapply, lapply=r.lapply, tapply=r.tapply, by=r.by, aggregate=r.aggregate, dplyr=r.dplyr, data.table=r.data.table), 
       function(x) (if(is.data.frame(x)) nrow else length)(x)==k)
#    sapply     lapply     tapply         by  aggregate      dplyr data.table 
#      TRUE       TRUE       TRUE       TRUE       TRUE       TRUE       TRUE 

# print timings
as.data.table(sapply(timing, `[[`, "elapsed"), keep.rownames = TRUE
              )[,.(fun = V1, elapsed = V2)
                ][order(-elapsed)]
#          fun elapsed
#1:  aggregate 109.139
#2:         by  25.738
#3:      dplyr  18.978
#4:     tapply  17.006
#5:     lapply  11.524

How to hide close button in WPF window?

How to integrate Dart into a Rails app

If you run pub build --mode=debug the build directory contains the application without symlinks. The Dart code should be retained when --mode=debug is used.

Here is some discussion going on about this topic too Dart and it's place in Rails Assets Pipeline

Bring a window to the front in WPF

Well, since this is such a hot topic... here is what works for me. I got errors if I didn't do it this way because Activate() will error out on you if you cannot see the window.

Xaml:

<Window .... 
        Topmost="True" 
        .... 
        ContentRendered="mainWindow_ContentRendered"> .... </Window>

Codebehind:

private void mainWindow_ContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Topmost = false;
    this.Activate();
    _UsernameTextBox.Focus();
}

This was the only way for me to get the window to show on top. Then activate it so you can type in the box without having to set focus with the mouse. control.Focus() wont work unless the window is Active();

How to scanf only integer?

A possible solution is to think about it backwards: Accept a float as input and reject the input if the float is not an integer:

int n;
float f;
printf("Please enter an integer: ");
while(scanf("%f",&f)!=1 || (int)f != f)
{
    ...
}
n = f;

Though this does allow the user to enter something like 12.0, or 12e0, etc.

Check if option is selected with jQuery, if not select a default

lencioni's answer is what I'd recommend. You can change the selector for the option ('#mySelect option:last') to select the option with a specific value using "#mySelect option[value='yourDefaultValue']". More on selectors.

If you're working extensively with select lists on the client check out this plugin: http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/select/. Take a look the source if you want to see some more examples of working with select lists.

How do I kill all the processes in Mysql "show processlist"?

for python language, you can do like this

import pymysql

connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
                             user='root',
                             db='mysql',
                             cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)

with connection.cursor() as cursor:
    cursor.execute('SHOW PROCESSLIST')
    for item in cursor.fetchall():
        if item.get('Time') > 200:
            _id = item.get('Id')
            print('kill %s' % item)
            cursor.execute('kill %s', _id)
    connection.close()

Python Pandas merge only certain columns

If you want to drop column(s) from the target data frame, but the column(s) are required for the join, you can do the following:

df1 = df1.merge(df2[['a', 'b', 'key1']], how = 'left',
                left_on = 'key2', right_on = 'key1').drop('key1')

The .drop('key1') part will prevent 'key1' from being kept in the resulting data frame, despite it being required to join in the first place.

C# listView, how do I add items to columns 2, 3 and 4 etc?

There are several ways to do it, but here is one solution (for 4 columns).

string[] row1 = { "s1", "s2", "s3" };
listView1.Items.Add("Column1Text").SubItems.AddRange(row1);

And a more verbose way is here:

ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem("Something");
item1.SubItems.Add("SubItem1a");
item1.SubItems.Add("SubItem1b");
item1.SubItems.Add("SubItem1c");

ListViewItem item2 = new ListViewItem("Something2");
item2.SubItems.Add("SubItem2a");
item2.SubItems.Add("SubItem2b");
item2.SubItems.Add("SubItem2c");

ListViewItem item3 = new ListViewItem("Something3");
item3.SubItems.Add("SubItem3a");
item3.SubItems.Add("SubItem3b");
item3.SubItems.Add("SubItem3c");

ListView1.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[] {item1,item2,item3});

How do I reference a cell within excel named range?

"Do you know if there's a way to make this work with relative selections, so that the formula can be "dragged down"/applied across several cells in the same column?"

To make such selection relative simply use ROW formula for a row number in INDEX formula and COLUMN formula for column number in INDEX formula. To make this clearer here is the example:

=INDEX(named_range,ROW(A1),COLUMN(A1))

Assuming the named range starts at A1 this formula simply indexes that range by row and column number of referenced cell and since that reference is relative it changes when you drag the the cell down or to the side, which makes it possible to create whole array of cells easily.

JPA: JOIN in JPQL

Join on one-to-many relation in JPQL looks as follows:

select b.fname, b.lname from Users b JOIN b.groups c where c.groupName = :groupName 

When several properties are specified in select clause, result is returned as Object[]:

Object[] temp = (Object[]) em.createNamedQuery("...")
    .setParameter("groupName", groupName)
    .getSingleResult(); 
String fname = (String) temp[0];
String lname = (String) temp[1];

By the way, why your entities are named in plural form, it's confusing. If you want to have table names in plural, you may use @Table to specify the table name for the entity explicitly, so it doesn't interfere with reserved words:

@Entity @Table(name = "Users")     
public class User implements Serializable { ... } 

List of standard lengths for database fields

W3C's recommendation:

If designing a form or database that will accept names from people with a variety of backgrounds, you should ask yourself whether you really need to have separate fields for given name and family name.

… Bear in mind that names in some cultures can be quite a lot longer than your own. … Avoid limiting the field size for names in your database. In particular, do not assume that a four-character Japanese name in UTF-8 will fit in four bytes – you are likely to actually need 12.

https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names

For database fields, VARCHAR(255) is a safe default choice, unless you can actually come up with a good reason to use something else. For typical web applications, performance won't be a problem. Don't prematurely optimize.

NUnit Unit tests not showing in Test Explorer with Test Adapter installed

I also found that when I uninstalled nunit v3.2.1, the nunit framework reference for v3.2.1 was still in my project in solution explorer. Solution Explorer > ProjectName > References

If you right click it will show the version. Remove this Then Right click on References > Add Reference.

Search for the version 2.x version and add then rebuild solution.

That worked for me!

How can I rename a project folder from within Visual Studio?

Using Visual Studio 2019, I followed below steps to make the project name change successful:

  1. Close the solution
  2. Rename the project folder to match with new project name
  3. Open solution file in notepad++ kind of editor and edit the FilePath with new project name folder
  4. Open the solution and click No if it ask whether you want to open from source control
  5. Right click the project which you want renaming and click Properties then change below: Change Assembly Name, Default Assembly namespace and Assembly information with new name
  6. Open any of the file and move the file to new namespace which will be done by all files
  7. If you have app.config kind of files then make sure to move them also in new namespace
  8. Rebuild it which will work successfully

What is a semaphore?

So imagine everyone is trying to go to the bathroom and there's only a certain number of keys to the bathroom. Now if there's not enough keys left, that person needs to wait. So think of semaphore as representing those set of keys available for bathrooms (the system resources) that different processes (bathroom goers) can request access to.

Now imagine two processes trying to go to the bathroom at the same time. That's not a good situation and semaphores are used to prevent this. Unfortunately, the semaphore is a voluntary mechanism and processes (our bathroom goers) can ignore it (i.e. even if there are keys, someone can still just kick the door open).

There are also differences between binary/mutex & counting semaphores.

How to validate white spaces/empty spaces? [Angular 2]

If you are using reactive forms in Angular 2+, you can remove leading and trailing spaces with the help of (blur)

app.html

<input(blur)="trimLeadingAndTrailingSpaces(myForm.controls['firstName'])" formControlName="firstName" />

app.ts

public trimLeadingAndTrailingSpaces(formControl: AbstractControl) {
    if (formControl && formControl.value && typeof formControl.value === 'string') {

NSURLConnection Using iOS Swift

Check Below Codes :

1. SynchronousRequest

Swift 1.2

    let urlPath: String = "YOUR_URL_HERE"
    var url: NSURL = NSURL(string: urlPath)!
    var request1: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
    var response: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSURLResponse?>=nil
    var dataVal: NSData =  NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request1, returningResponse: response, error:nil)!
    var err: NSError
    println(response)
    var jsonResult: NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(dataVal, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &err) as? NSDictionary
    println("Synchronous\(jsonResult)")

Swift 2.0 +

let urlPath: String = "YOUR_URL_HERE"
    let url: NSURL = NSURL(string: urlPath)!
    let request1: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
    let response: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSURLResponse?>=nil


    do{

        let dataVal = try NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request1, returningResponse: response)

            print(response)
            do {
                if let jsonResult = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(dataVal, options: []) as? NSDictionary {
                    print("Synchronous\(jsonResult)")
                }
            } catch let error as NSError {

What is the difference between ng-if and ng-show/ng-hide

One important thing to note about ng-if and ng-show is that when using form controls it is better to use ng-if because it completely removes the element from the dom.

This difference is important because if you create an input field with required="true" and then set ng-show="false" to hide it, Chrome will throw the following error when the user tries to submit the form:

An invalid form control with name='' is not focusable.

The reason being the input field is present and it is required but since it is hidden Chrome cannot focus on it. This can literally break your code as this error halts script execution. So be careful!

Error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

I had the exact same symptom, and this was my problem, very tricky to track down, so I hope it helps someone.

I was using JQuery parseJSON() and the content I was attempting to parse was actually not JSON, but an error page that was being returned.

Mathematical functions in Swift

To be perfectly precise, Darwin is enough. No need to import the whole Cocoa framework.

import Darwin

Of course, if you need elements from Cocoa or Foundation or other higher level frameworks, you can import them instead

How can I pass an argument to a PowerShell script?

Tested as working:

#Must be the first statement in your script (not coutning comments)
param([Int32]$step=30) 

$iTunes = New-Object -ComObject iTunes.Application

if ($iTunes.playerstate -eq 1)
{
  $iTunes.PlayerPosition = $iTunes.PlayerPosition + $step
}

Call it with

powershell.exe -file itunesForward.ps1 -step 15

Multiple parameters syntax (comments are optional, but allowed):

<#
    Script description.

    Some notes.
#>
param (
    # height of largest column without top bar
    [int]$h = 4000,
    
    # name of the output image
    [string]$image = 'out.png'
)

How to count items in JSON object using command line?

You can also use jq to track down the array within the returned json and then pipe that in to a second jq call to get its length. Suppose it was in a property called records, like {"records":[...]}.

$ curl https://my-source-of-json.com/list | jq -r '.records' | jq length
2

Storing database records into array

$mysearch="Your Search Name";
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");
$c=0;
// set array

// look through query
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

  // add each row returned into an array
  $array[] = $row;
  $c++;
}

for($i=0;$i=$c;$i++)
{
if($array[i]['username']==$mysearch)
{
// name found
}

Android map v2 zoom to show all the markers

Show All Markers with Google map

In these Methods store all Markers and automatically zoom to show all markers in google map.

// Declare the Markers List.
List<MarkerOptions> markerList;
private BitmapDescriptor vnrPoint,banPoint;


public void storeAllMarkers()

     showAllMarkers();

 }


public void showAllMarkers()
{
    LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();

    for (MarkerOptions m : markerList) {
        builder.include(m.getPosition());
    }

    LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();

    int width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
    int height = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
    int padding = (int) (width * 0.30); 

    // Zoom and animate the google map to show all markers

    CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
    googleMap.animateCamera(cu);
}

on change event for file input element

Give unique class and different id for file input

           $("#tab-content").on('change',class,function()
               {
                  var id=$(this).attr('id');
                      $("#"+id).trigger(your function); 
               //for name of file input  $("#"+id).attr("name");
               });

Python: SyntaxError: non-keyword after keyword arg

It's just what it says:

inputFile = open((x), encoding = "utf8", "r")

You have specified encoding as a keyword argument, but "r" as a positional argument. You can't have positional arguments after keyword arguments. Perhaps you wanted to do:

inputFile = open((x), "r", encoding = "utf8")

Installing tkinter on ubuntu 14.04

In Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS:

  1. Go to Software Center and remove "IDLE(using Python-2.7)".

  2. Install "IDLE(using Python-3.4)".

Try again. This step worked for me.

Make XAMPP / Apache serve file outside of htdocs folder

You can set Apache to serve pages from anywhere with any restrictions but it's normally distributed in a more secure form.

Editing your apache files (http.conf is one of the more common names) will allow you to set any folder so it appears in your webroot.

EDIT:

alias myapp c:\myapp\

I've edited my answer to include the format for creating an alias in the http.conf file which is sort of like a shortcut in windows or a symlink under un*x where Apache 'pretends' a folder is in the webroot. This is probably going to be more useful to you in the long term.

How do I test if a recordSet is empty? isNull?

A simple way is to write it:

Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 then 'checks for number of records
   msgbox "There is no records" 
End if

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

For me, my issue was that I was

android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"

To a LinearLayout background, once I removed it the test passed.

Export DataBase with MySQL Workbench with INSERT statements

In MySQL Workbench 6.1.

I had to click on the Apply changes button in the insertion panel (only once, because twice and MWB crashes...).

You have to do it for each of your table.

Apply changes button

Then export your schema :

Export schema

Check Generate INSERT statements for table

Check INSERT

It is okay !

Inserts ok

Concatenating variables in Bash

Try doing this, there's no special character to concatenate in bash :

mystring="${arg1}12${arg2}endoffile"

explanations

If you don't put brackets, you will ask to concatenate $arg112 + $argendoffile (I guess that's not what you asked) like in the following example :

mystring="$arg112$arg2endoffile"

The brackets are delimiters for the variables when needed. When not needed, you can use it or not.

another solution

(less portable : require bash > 3.1)

$ arg1=foo
$ arg2=bar
$ mystring="$arg1"
$ mystring+="12"
$ mystring+="$arg2"
$ mystring+="endoffile"
$ echo "$mystring"
foo12barendoffile

See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/013

How can I simulate an array variable in MySQL?

Here is an example for MySQL for looping through a comma delimited string.

DECLARE v_delimited_string_access_index INT;
DECLARE v_delimited_string_access_value VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE v_can_still_find_values_in_delimited_string BOOLEAN;

SET v_can_still_find_values_in_delimited_string = true;
SET v_delimited_string_access_index = 0;
WHILE (v_can_still_find_values_in_delimited_string) DO
  SET v_delimited_string_access_value = get_from_delimiter_split_string(in_array, ',', v_delimited_string_access_index); -- get value from string
  SET v_delimited_string_access_index = v_delimited_string_access_index + 1;
  IF (v_delimited_string_access_value = '') THEN
    SET v_can_still_find_values_in_delimited_string = false; -- no value at this index, stop looping
  ELSE
    -- DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH v_delimited_string_access_value HERE
  END IF;
END WHILE;

this uses the get_from_delimiter_split_string function defined here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59666211/3068233

Finding square root without using sqrt function?

There is a better algorithm, which needs at most 6 iterations to converge to maximum precision for double numbers:

#include <math.h>

double sqrt(double x) {
    if (x <= 0)
        return 0;       // if negative number throw an exception?
    int exp = 0;
    x = frexp(x, &exp); // extract binary exponent from x
    if (exp & 1) {      // we want exponent to be even
        exp--;
        x *= 2;
    }
    double y = (1+x)/2; // first approximation
    double z = 0;
    while (y != z) {    // yes, we CAN compare doubles here!
        z = y;
        y = (y + x/y) / 2;
    }
    return ldexp(y, exp/2); // multiply answer by 2^(exp/2)
}

Algorithm starts with 1 as first approximation for square root value. Then, on each step, it improves next approximation by taking average between current value y and x/y. If y = sqrt(x), it will be the same. If y > sqrt(x), then x/y < sqrt(x) by about the same amount. In other words, it will converge very fast.

UPDATE: To speed up convergence on very large or very small numbers, changed sqrt() function to extract binary exponent and compute square root from number in [1, 4) range. It now needs frexp() from <math.h> to get binary exponent, but it is possible to get this exponent by extracting bits from IEEE-754 number format without using frexp().

Find which version of package is installed with pip

To do this using Python code:

Using importlib.metadata.version

Python =3.8

import importlib.metadata
importlib.metadata.version('beautifulsoup4')
'4.9.1'

Python =3.7

(using importlib_metadata.version)

!pip install importlib-metadata

import importlib_metadata
importlib_metadata.version('beautifulsoup4')
'4.9.1'

Using pkg_resources.Distribution

import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.get_distribution('beautifulsoup4').version
'4.9.1'
pkg_resources.get_distribution('beautifulsoup4').parsed_version
<Version('4.9.1')>

A non-blocking read on a subprocess.PIPE in Python

One solution is to make another process to perform your read of the process, or make a thread of the process with a timeout.

Here's the threaded version of a timeout function:

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/473878/

However, do you need to read the stdout as it's coming in? Another solution may be to dump the output to a file and wait for the process to finish using p.wait().

f = open('myprogram_output.txt','w')
p = subprocess.Popen('myprogram.exe', stdout=f)
p.wait()
f.close()


str = open('myprogram_output.txt','r').read()

npm install vs. update - what's the difference?

The difference between npm install and npm update handling of package versions specified in package.json:

{
  "name":          "my-project",
  "version":       "1.0",                             // install   update
  "dependencies":  {                                  // ------------------
    "already-installed-versionless-module":  "*",     // ignores   "1.0" -> "1.1"
    "already-installed-semver-module":       "^1.4.3" // ignores   "1.4.3" -> "1.5.2"
    "already-installed-versioned-module":    "3.4.1"  // ignores   ignores
    "not-yet-installed-versionless-module":  "*",     // installs  installs
    "not-yet-installed-semver-module":       "^4.2.1" // installs  installs
    "not-yet-installed-versioned-module":    "2.7.8"  // installs  installs
  }
}

Summary: The only big difference is that an already installed module with fuzzy versioning ...

  • gets ignored by npm install
  • gets updated by npm update

Additionally: install and update by default handle devDependencies differently

  • npm install will install/update devDependencies unless --production flag is added
  • npm update will ignore devDependencies unless --dev flag is added

Why use npm install at all?

Because npm install does more when you look besides handling your dependencies in package.json. As you can see in npm install you can ...

  • manually install node-modules
  • set them as global (which puts them in the shell's PATH) using npm install -g <name>
  • install certain versions described by git tags
  • install from a git url
  • force a reinstall with --force

What is a Windows Handle?

A handle is like a primary key value of a record in a database.

edit 1: well, why the downvote, a primary key uniquely identifies a database record, and a handle in the Windows system uniquely identifies a window, an opened file, etc, That's what I'm saying.

        mp.reset();
        mp.release();
        mp=null;
    }
});
mp.start();

Not releasing the Media player gives you this error in LogCat:

Android: MediaPlayer finalized without being released

Not resetting the Media player gives you this error in LogCat:

Android: mediaplayer went away with unhandled events

So play safe and simple code to use media player.

To play more than one sounds in same Activity/Fragment simply change the resID while creating new Media player like

mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_two);

and play it !

Have fun!

Mocking methods of local scope objects with Mockito

You could avoid changing the code (although I recommend Boris' answer) and mock the constructor, like in this example for mocking the creation of a File object inside a method. Don't forget to put the class that will create the file in the @PrepareForTest.

package hello.easymock.constructor;

import java.io.File;

import org.easymock.EasyMock;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;
    
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({File.class})
public class ConstructorExampleTest {
        
    @Test
    public void testMockFile() throws Exception {

        // first, create a mock for File
        final File fileMock = EasyMock.createMock(File.class);
        EasyMock.expect(fileMock.getAbsolutePath()).andReturn("/my/fake/file/path");
        EasyMock.replay(fileMock);

        // then return the mocked object if the constructor is invoked
        Class<?>[] parameterTypes = new Class[] { String.class };
        PowerMock.expectNew(File.class, parameterTypes , EasyMock.isA(String.class)).andReturn(fileMock);
        PowerMock.replay(File.class); 
    
        // try constructing a real File and check if the mock kicked in
        final String mockedFilePath = new File("/real/path/for/file").getAbsolutePath();
        Assert.assertEquals("/my/fake/file/path", mockedFilePath);
    }
}

Spring RequestMapping for controllers that produce and consume JSON

The simple answer to your question is that there is no Annotation-Inheritance in Java. However, there is a way to use the Spring annotations in a way that I think will help solve your problem.

@RequestMapping is supported at both the type level and at the method level.

When you put @RequestMapping at the type level, most of the attributes are 'inherited' for each method in that class. This is mentioned in the Spring reference documentation. Look at the api docs for details on how each attribute is handled when adding @RequestMapping to a type. I've summarized this for each attribute below:

  • name: Value at Type level is concatenated with value at method level using '#' as a separator.
  • value: Value at Type level is inherited by method.
  • path: Value at Type level is inherited by method.
  • method: Value at Type level is inherited by method.
  • params: Value at Type level is inherited by method.
  • headers: Value at Type level is inherited by method.
  • consumes: Value at Type level is overridden by method.
  • produces: Value at Type level is overridden by method.

Here is a brief example Controller that showcases how you could use this:

package com.example;

import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping(path = "/", 
        consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, 
        produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, 
        method = {RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST})
public class JsonProducingEndpoint {

    private FooService fooService;

    @RequestMapping(path = "/foo", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String postAFoo(@RequestBody ThisIsAFoo theFoo) {
        fooService.saveTheFoo(theFoo);
        return "http://myservice.com/foo/1";
    }

    @RequestMapping(path = "/foo/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ThisIsAFoo getAFoo(@PathVariable String id) {
        ThisIsAFoo foo = fooService.getAFoo(id);
        return foo;
    }

    @RequestMapping(path = "/foo/{id}", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE, method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ThisIsAFooXML getAFooXml(@PathVariable String id) {
        ThisIsAFooXML foo = fooService.getAFoo(id);
        return foo;
    }
}

Format datetime in asp.net mvc 4

Ahhhh, now it is clear. You seem to have problems binding back the value. Not with displaying it on the view. Indeed, that's the fault of the default model binder. You could write and use a custom one that will take into consideration the [DisplayFormat] attribute on your model. I have illustrated such a custom model binder here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7836093/29407


Apparently some problems still persist. Here's my full setup working perfectly fine on both ASP.NET MVC 3 & 4 RC.

Model:

public class MyViewModel
{
    [DisplayName("date of birth")]
    [DataType(DataType.Date)]
    [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
    public DateTime? Birth { get; set; }
}

Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(new MyViewModel
        {
            Birth = DateTime.Now
        });
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model)
    {
        return View(model);
    }
}

View:

@model MyViewModel

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.LabelFor(x => x.Birth)
    @Html.EditorFor(x => x.Birth)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Birth)
    <button type="submit">OK</button>
}

Registration of the custom model binder in Application_Start:

ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(DateTime?), new MyDateTimeModelBinder());

And the custom model binder itself:

public class MyDateTimeModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder
{
    public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        var displayFormat = bindingContext.ModelMetadata.DisplayFormatString;
        var value = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(displayFormat) && value != null)
        {
            DateTime date;
            displayFormat = displayFormat.Replace("{0:", string.Empty).Replace("}", string.Empty);
            // use the format specified in the DisplayFormat attribute to parse the date
            if (DateTime.TryParseExact(value.AttemptedValue, displayFormat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out date))
            {
                return date;
            }
            else
            {
                bindingContext.ModelState.AddModelError(
                    bindingContext.ModelName,
                    string.Format("{0} is an invalid date format", value.AttemptedValue)
                );
            }
        }

        return base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);
    }
}

Now, no matter what culture you have setup in your web.config (<globalization> element) or the current thread culture, the custom model binder will use the DisplayFormat attribute's date format when parsing nullable dates.

Converting List<Integer> to List<String>

Solution for Java 8. A bit longer than the Guava one, but at least you don't have to install a library.

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

//...

List<Integer> integers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
List<String> strings = integers.stream().map(Object::toString)
                                        .collect(Collectors.toList());

Using the HTML5 "required" attribute for a group of checkboxes?

HTML5 does not directly support requiring only one/at least one checkbox be checked in a checkbox group. Here is my solution using Javascript:

HTML

<input class='acb' type='checkbox' name='acheckbox[]' value='1' onclick='deRequire("acb")' required> One
<input class='acb' type='checkbox' name='acheckbox[]' value='2' onclick='deRequire("acb")' required> Two

JAVASCRIPT

       function deRequireCb(elClass) {
            el=document.getElementsByClassName(elClass);

            var atLeastOneChecked=false;//at least one cb is checked
            for (i=0; i<el.length; i++) {
                if (el[i].checked === true) {
                    atLeastOneChecked=true;
                }
            }

            if (atLeastOneChecked === true) {
                for (i=0; i<el.length; i++) {
                    el[i].required = false;
                }
            } else {
                for (i=0; i<el.length; i++) {
                    el[i].required = true;
                }
            }
        }

The javascript will ensure at least one checkbox is checked, then de-require the entire checkbox group. If the one checkbox that is checked becomes un-checked, then it will require all checkboxes, again!

How to get multiple counts with one SQL query?

I think this can also works for you select count(*) as anc,(select count(*) from Patient where sex='F')as patientF,(select count(*) from Patient where sex='M') as patientM from anc

and also you can select and count related tables like this select count(*) as anc,(select count(*) from Patient where Patient.Id=anc.PatientId)as patientF,(select count(*) from Patient where sex='M') as patientM from anc

Matching strings with wildcard

Just FYI, you could use the VB.NET Like-Operator:

string text = "x is not the same as X and yz not the same as YZ";
bool contains = LikeOperator.LikeString(text,"*X*YZ*", Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompareMethod.Binary);  

Use CompareMethod.Text if you want to ignore the case.

You need to add using Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices;.

Clear the entire history stack and start a new activity on Android

I spent a few hours on this too ... and agree that FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP sounds like what you'd want: clear the entire stack, except for the activity being launched, so the Back button exits the application. Yet as Mike Repass mentioned, FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP only works when the activity you're launching is already in the stack; when the activity's not there, the flag doesn't do anything.

What to do? Put the activity being launching in the stack with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, which makes that activity the start of a new task on the history stack. Then add the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag.

Now, when FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP goes to find the new activity in the stack, it'll be there and be pulled up before everything else is cleared.

Here's my logout function; the View parameter is the button to which the function's attached.

public void onLogoutClick(final View view) {
    Intent i = new Intent(this, Splash.class);
    i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
    startActivity(i);
    finish();
}

How to convert char* to wchar_t*?

Your problem has nothing to do with encodings, it's a simple matter of understanding basic C++. You are returning a pointer to a local variable from your function, which will have gone out of scope by the time anyone can use it, thus creating undefined behaviour (i.e. a programming error).

Follow this Golden Rule: "If you are using naked char pointers, you're Doing It Wrong. (Except for when you aren't.)"

I've previously posted some code to do the conversion and communicating the input and output in C++ std::string and std::wstring objects.

"The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." With SSL Certificate

Using a HTTP debugging proxy can cause this - such as Fiddler.

I was loading a PFX certificate from a local file (authentication to Apple.com) and it failed because Fiddler wasn't able to pass this certificate on.

Try disabling Fiddler to check and if that is the solution then you need to probably install the certificate on your machine or in some way that Fiddler can use it.

How to create PDF files in Python

I suggest Pdfkit. (installation guide)

It creates pdf from html files. I chose it to create pdf in 2 steps from my Python Pyramid stack:

  1. Rendering server-side with mako templates with the style and markup you want for you pdf document
  2. Executing pdfkit.from_string(...) method by passing the rendered html as parameter

This way you get a pdf document with styling and images supported.

You can install it as follows :

  • using pip

    pip install pdfkit

  • You will also need to install wkhtmltopdf (on Ubuntu).

Setting multiple attributes for an element at once with JavaScript

If you wanted a framework-esq syntax (Note: IE 8+ support only), you could extend the Element prototype and add your own setAttributes function:

Element.prototype.setAttributes = function (attrs) {
    for (var idx in attrs) {
        if ((idx === 'styles' || idx === 'style') && typeof attrs[idx] === 'object') {
            for (var prop in attrs[idx]){this.style[prop] = attrs[idx][prop];}
        } else if (idx === 'html') {
            this.innerHTML = attrs[idx];
        } else {
            this.setAttribute(idx, attrs[idx]);
        }
    }
};

This lets you use syntax like this:

var d = document.createElement('div');
d.setAttributes({
    'id':'my_div',
    'class':'my_class',
    'styles':{
        'backgroundColor':'blue',
        'color':'red'
    },
    'html':'lol'
});

Try it: http://jsfiddle.net/ywrXX/1/

If you don't like extending a host object (some are opposed) or need to support IE7-, just use it as a function

Note that setAttribute will not work for style in IE, or event handlers (you shouldn't anyway). The code above handles style, but not events.

Android replace the current fragment with another fragment

it's very simple how to replace with Fragment.

DataFromDb changeActivity = new DataFromDb();
    FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    transaction.replace(R.id.changeFrg, changeActivity);
    transaction.commit();

Using Google maps API v3 how do I get LatLng with a given address?

There is a pretty good example on https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-simple

To shorten it up a little:

geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

function codeAddress() {

    //In this case it gets the address from an element on the page, but obviously you  could just pass it to the method instead
    var address = document.getElementById( 'address' ).value;

    geocoder.geocode( { 'address' : address }, function( results, status ) {
        if( status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK ) {

            //In this case it creates a marker, but you can get the lat and lng from the location.LatLng
            map.setCenter( results[0].geometry.location );
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker( {
                map     : map,
                position: results[0].geometry.location
            } );
        } else {
            alert( 'Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status );
        }
    } );
}

Python convert csv to xlsx

How I do it with openpyxl lib:

import csv
from openpyxl import Workbook

def convert_csv_to_xlsx(self):
    wb = Workbook()
    sheet = wb.active

    CSV_SEPARATOR = "#"

    with open("my_file.csv") as f:
        reader = csv.reader(f)
        for r, row in enumerate(reader):
            for c, col in enumerate(row):
                for idx, val in enumerate(col.split(CSV_SEPARATOR)):
                    cell = sheet.cell(row=r+1, column=idx+1)
                    cell.value = val

    wb.save("my_file.xlsx")

best OCR (Optical character recognition) example in android

Like you I also faced many problems implementing OCR in Android, but after much Googling I found the solution, and it surely is the best example of OCR.

Let me explain using step-by-step guidance.

First, download the source code from https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two.

Import all three projects. After importing you will get an error. To solve the error you have to create a res folder in the tess-two project

enter image description here

First, just create res folder in tess-two by tess-two->RightClick->new Folder->Name it "res"

After doing this in all three project the error should be gone.

Now download the source code from https://github.com/rmtheis/android-ocr, here you will get best example.

Now you just need to import it into your workspace, but first you have to download android-ndk from this site:

http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html i have windows 7 - 32 bit PC so I have download http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9-windows-x86.zip this file

Now extract it suppose I have extract it into E:\Software\android-ndk-r9 so I will set this path on Environment Variable

Right Click on MyComputer->Property->Advance-System-Settings->Advance->Environment Variable-> find PATH on second below Box and set like path like below picture

enter image description here

done it

Now open cmd and go to on D:\Android Workspace\tess-two like below

enter image description here

If you have successfully set up environment variable of NDK then just type ndk-build just like above picture than enter you will not get any kind of error and all file will be compiled successfully:

Now download other source code also from https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two , and extract and import it and give it name OCRTest, like in my PC which is in D:\Android Workspace\OCRTest

enter image description here

Import test-two in this and run OCRTest and run it; you will get the best example of OCR.

Is it possible to have placeholders in strings.xml for runtime values?

Yes! you can do so without writing any Java/Kotlin code, only XML by using this small library I created, which does so at buildtime, so your app won't be affected by it: https://github.com/LikeTheSalad/android-string-reference

Usage

Your strings:

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">My App Name</string>
    <string name="template_welcome_message">Welcome to ${app_name}</string>
</resources>

The generated string after building:

<!--resolved.xml-->
<resources>
    <string name="welcome_message">Welcome to My App Name</string>
</resources>

Using HTML data-attribute to set CSS background-image url

</div>

JS CODE

var dataValue, dataSet,key;
dataValue = document.getElementById('borderLoader');
//data set contains all the dataset that you are to style the shape;
dataSet ={ 
   "height":dataValue.dataset.height,
   "width":dataValue.dataset.width,
   "color":dataValue.dataset.color,
   "imageBg":dataValue.dataset.image
};

dataValue.style.height = dataSet.height;
dataValue.style.width = dataSet.width;
dataValue.style.background = "#f3f3f3 url("+dataSet.imageBg+") no-repeat 
center";

Gson and deserializing an array of objects with arrays in it

The example Java data structure in the original question does not match the description of the JSON structure in the comment.

The JSON is described as

"an array of {object with an array of {object}}".

In terms of the types described in the question, the JSON translated into a Java data structure that would match the JSON structure for easy deserialization with Gson is

"an array of {TypeDTO object with an array of {ItemDTO object}}".

But the Java data structure provided in the question is not this. Instead it's

"an array of {TypeDTO object with an array of an array of {ItemDTO object}}".

A two-dimensional array != a single-dimensional array.

This first example demonstrates using Gson to simply deserialize and serialize a JSON structure that is "an array of {object with an array of {object}}".

input.json Contents:

[
  {
    "id":1,
    "name":"name1",
    "items":
    [
      {"id":2,"name":"name2","valid":true},
      {"id":3,"name":"name3","valid":false},
      {"id":4,"name":"name4","valid":true}
    ]
  },
  {
    "id":5,
    "name":"name5",
    "items":
    [
      {"id":6,"name":"name6","valid":true},
      {"id":7,"name":"name7","valid":false}
    ]
  },
  {
    "id":8,
    "name":"name8",
    "items":
    [
      {"id":9,"name":"name9","valid":true},
      {"id":10,"name":"name10","valid":false},
      {"id":11,"name":"name11","valid":false},
      {"id":12,"name":"name12","valid":true}
    ]
  }
]

Foo.java:

import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import com.google.gson.Gson;

public class Foo
{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
  {
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    TypeDTO[] myTypes = gson.fromJson(new FileReader("input.json"), TypeDTO[].class);
    System.out.println(gson.toJson(myTypes));
  }
}

class TypeDTO
{
  int id;
  String name;
  ArrayList<ItemDTO> items;
}

class ItemDTO
{
  int id;
  String name;
  Boolean valid;
}

This second example uses instead a JSON structure that is actually "an array of {TypeDTO object with an array of an array of {ItemDTO object}}" to match the originally provided Java data structure.

input.json Contents:

[
  {
    "id":1,
    "name":"name1",
    "items":
    [
      [
        {"id":2,"name":"name2","valid":true},
        {"id":3,"name":"name3","valid":false}
      ],
      [
        {"id":4,"name":"name4","valid":true}
      ]
    ]
  },
  {
    "id":5,
    "name":"name5",
    "items":
    [
      [
        {"id":6,"name":"name6","valid":true}
      ],
      [
        {"id":7,"name":"name7","valid":false}
      ]
    ]
  },
  {
    "id":8,
    "name":"name8",
    "items":
    [
      [
        {"id":9,"name":"name9","valid":true},
        {"id":10,"name":"name10","valid":false}
      ],
      [
        {"id":11,"name":"name11","valid":false},
        {"id":12,"name":"name12","valid":true}
      ]
    ]
  }
]

Foo.java:

import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import com.google.gson.Gson;

public class Foo
{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
  {
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    TypeDTO[] myTypes = gson.fromJson(new FileReader("input.json"), TypeDTO[].class);
    System.out.println(gson.toJson(myTypes));
  }
}

class TypeDTO
{
  int id;
  String name;
  ArrayList<ItemDTO> items[];
}

class ItemDTO
{
  int id;
  String name;
  Boolean valid;
}

Regarding the remaining two questions:

is Gson extremely fast?

Not compared to other deserialization/serialization APIs. Gson has traditionally been amongst the slowest. The current and next releases of Gson reportedly include significant performance improvements, though I haven't looked for the latest performance test data to support those claims.

That said, if Gson is fast enough for your needs, then since it makes JSON deserialization so easy, it probably makes sense to use it. If better performance is required, then Jackson might be a better choice to use. It offers much (maybe even all) of the conveniences of Gson.

Or am I better to stick with what I've got working already?

I wouldn't. I would most always rather have one simple line of code like

TypeDTO[] myTypes = gson.fromJson(new FileReader("input.json"), TypeDTO[].class);

...to easily deserialize into a complex data structure, than the thirty lines of code that would otherwise be needed to map the pieces together one component at a time.

How to activate an Anaconda environment

I've tried to activate env from Jenkins job (in bash) with conda activate base and it failed, so after many tries, this one worked for me (CentOS 7) :

source /opt/anaconda2/bin/activate base

How to get the Enum Index value in C#

Firstly, there could be two values that you're referring to:

Underlying Value

If you are asking about the underlying value, which could be any of these types: byte, sbyte, short, ushort, int, uint, long or ulong

Then you can simply cast it to it's underlying type. Assuming it's an int, you can do it like this:

int eValue = (int)enumValue;

However, also be aware of each items default value (first item is 0, second is 1 and so on) and the fact that each item could have been assigned a new value, which may not necessarily be in any order particular order! (Credit to @JohnStock for the poke to clarify).

This example assigns each a new value, and show the value returned:

public enum MyEnum
{
    MyValue1 = 34,
    MyValue2 = 27
}

(int)MyEnum.MyValue2 == 27; // True

Index Value

The above is generally the most commonly required value, and is what your question detail suggests you need, however each value also has an index value (which you refer to in the title). If you require this then please see other answers below for details.

Creating composite primary key in SQL Server

If you use management studio, simply select the wardNo, BHTNo, testID columns and click on the key mark in the toolbar.

enter image description here

Command for this is,

ALTER TABLE dbo.testRequest
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TestRequest 
PRIMARY KEY (wardNo, BHTNo, TestID)

Find intersection of two nested lists?

To define intersection that correctly takes into account the cardinality of the elements use Counter:

from collections import Counter

>>> c1 = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4]
>>> c2 = [1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5]
>>> list((Counter(c1) & Counter(c2)).elements())
[1, 2, 4, 4, 4]

How to remove the Flutter debug banner?

To remove the flutter debug banner, there are several possibilities :

1- The first one is to use the debugShowCheckModeBanner property in your MaterialApp widget .

Code :

MaterialApp(
  debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
) 

And then do a hot reload.

2-The second possibility is to hide debug mode banner in Flutter Inspector if you use Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA .

enter image description here

3- The third possibility is to use Dart DevTools .

RecyclerView expand/collapse items

Please don't use any library for this effect instead use the recommended way of doing it according to Google I/O. In your recyclerView's onBindViewHolder method do this:

final boolean isExpanded = position==mExpandedPosition;
holder.details.setVisibility(isExpanded?View.VISIBLE:View.GONE);
holder.itemView.setActivated(isExpanded);
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        mExpandedPosition = isExpanded ? -1:position;
        TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(recyclerView);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
});
  • Where details is my view that will be displayed on touch (call details in your case. Default Visibility.GONE).
  • mExpandedPosition is an int variable initialized to -1

And for the cool effects that you wanted, use these as your list_item attributes:

android:background="@drawable/comment_background"
android:stateListAnimator="@animator/comment_selection"

where comment_background is:

<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:constantSize="true"
android:enterFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"
android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">

<item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="@color/selected_comment_background" />
<item android:drawable="@color/comment_background" />
</selector>

and comment_selection is:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_activated="true">
    <objectAnimator
        android:propertyName="translationZ"
        android:valueTo="@dimen/z_card"
        android:duration="2000"
        android:interpolator="@android:interpolator/fast_out_slow_in" />
</item>

<item>
    <objectAnimator
        android:propertyName="translationZ"
        android:valueTo="0dp"
        android:duration="2000"
        android:interpolator="@android:interpolator/fast_out_slow_in" />
</item>
</selector>

How to put php inside JavaScript?

All the explanations above doesn't work if you work with .js files. If you want to parse PHP into .js files, you have to make changes on your server by modfiying the .htaccess in which the .js files reside using the following commands:

<FilesMatch "\.(js)$">
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .js
</FilesMatch>

Then, a file test.js files containing the following code will execute .JS on client side with the parsed PHP on server-side:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function myFunction(){
   alert("Hello World!");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="myFunction()"><?php echo "My button";?></button>
</body>
</html>

Get HTML code from website in C#

Better you can use the Webclient class to simplify your task:

using System.Net;

using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
    string htmlCode = client.DownloadString("http://somesite.com/default.html");
}

What are .iml files in Android Studio?

Those files are created and used by Android Studio editor.

You don't need to check in those files to version control.

Git uses .gitignore file, that contains list of files and directories, to know the list of files and directories that don't need to be checked in.

Android studio automatically creates .gitingnore files listing all files and directories which don't need to be checked in to any version control.

Difference between $.ajax() and $.get() and $.load()

Both are used to send some data and receive some response using that data.

GET: Get information stored in the server. (i.e. search, tweet, person information). If you want to send information then get request send request using process.php?name=subroto So it basically sends information through url. Url cannot handle more than 2036 char. So for blog post can you remember it is not possible?

POST: Post do same thing as GET. User registration, User login, Big data send, Blog Post. If you need to send secure information then use post or for big data as it not go through url.

AJAX: $.get() and $.post() contain features that are subsets of $.ajax(). It has more configuration.

$.get () method, which is a kind of shorthand for $.ajax(). When using $.get (), instead of passing in an object, you pass in arguments. At minimum, you’ll need the first two arguments, which are the URL of the file you want to retrieve (eg. test.txt) and a success callback.

Use -notlike to filter out multiple strings in PowerShell

I think Peter has the right idea. I would use a regular expression for this along with the -notmatch operator.
