Changing text color of menu item in navigation drawer

You can use drawables in

app:itemTextColor app:itemIconTint

then you can control the checked state and normal state using a drawable

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
            android:id="@+id/nav_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            app:itemHorizontalPadding="@dimen/margin_30"
            app:itemIconTint="@drawable/drawer_item_color"
            app:itemTextColor="@drawable/drawer_item_color"
            android:theme="@style/NavigationView"
            app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header"
            app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu">

drawer_item_color.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:color="@color/selectedColor" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:color="@color/normalColor" />
</selector>

SQLite equivalent to ISNULL(), NVL(), IFNULL() or COALESCE()

Use IS NULL or IS NOT NULL in WHERE-clause instead of ISNULL() method:

SELECT myField1
FROM myTable1
WHERE myField1 IS NOT NULL

Check if a varchar is a number (TSQL)

Using SQL Server 2012+, you can use the TRY_* functions if you have specific needs. For example,

-- will fail for decimal values, but allow negative values
TRY_CAST(@value AS INT) IS NOT NULL 

-- will fail for non-positive integers; can be used with other examples below as well, or reversed if only negative desired
TRY_CAST(@value AS INT) > 0

-- will fail if a $ is used, but allow decimals to the specified precision
TRY_CAST(@value AS DECIMAL(10,2)) IS NOT NULL 

-- will allow valid currency
TRY_CAST(@value AS MONEY) IS NOT NULL  

-- will allow scientific notation to be used like 1.7E+3
TRY_CAST(@value AS FLOAT) IS NOT NULL 

Vue js error: Component template should contain exactly one root element

For a more complete answer: http://www.compulsivecoders.com/tech/vuejs-component-template-should-contain-exactly-one-root-element/

But basically:

  • Currently, a VueJS template can contain only one root element (because of rendering issue)
  • In cases you really need to have two root elements because HTML structure does not allow you to create a wrapping parent element, you can use vue-fragment.

To install it:

npm install vue-fragment

To use it:

import Fragment from 'vue-fragment';
Vue.use(Fragment.Plugin);

// or

import { Plugin } from 'vue-fragment';
Vue.use(Plugin);

Then, in your component:

<template>
  <fragment>
    <tr class="hola">
      ...
    </tr>
    <tr class="hello">
      ...
    </tr>
  </fragment>
</template>

jQuery UI - Close Dialog When Clicked Outside

I had same problem while making preview modal on one page. After a lot of googling I found this very useful solution. With event and target it is checking where click happened and depending on it triggers the action or does nothing.

Code Snippet Library site

$('#modal-background').mousedown(function(e) {
var clicked = $(e.target);  
if (clicked.is('#modal-content') || clicked.parents().is('#modal-content')) 
    return; 
} else {  
 $('#modal-background').hide();
}
});

Multidimensional Lists in C#

If for some reason you don't want to define a Person class and use List<Person> as advised, you can use a tuple, such as (C# 7):

var people = new List<(string Name, string Email)>
{
  ("Joe Bloggs", "[email protected]"),
  ("George Forman", "[email protected]"),
  ("Peter Pan", "[email protected]")
};

var georgeEmail = people[1].Email;

The Name and Email member names are optional, you can omit them and access them using Item1 and Item2 respectively.

There are defined tuples for up to 8 members.

For earlier versions of C#, you can still use a List<Tuple<string, string>> (or preferably ValueTuple using this NuGet package), but you won't benefit from customized member names.

Min / Max Validator in Angular 2 Final

You can implement your own validation (template driven) easily, by creating a directive that implements the Validator interface.

import { Directive, Input, forwardRef } from '@angular/core'
import { NG_VALIDATORS, Validator, AbstractControl, Validators } from '@angular/forms'

@Directive({
  selector: '[min]',
  providers: [{ provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: MinDirective, multi: true }]
})
export class MinDirective implements Validator {

  @Input() min: number;

  validate(control: AbstractControl): { [key: string]: any } {

    return Validators.min(this.min)(control)

    // or you can write your own validation e.g.
    // return control.value < this.min ? { min:{ invalid: true, actual: control.value }} : null



  }

How to fix "Attempted relative import in non-package" even with __init__.py

Old thread. I found out that adding an __all__= ['submodule', ...] to the __init__.py file and then using the from <CURRENT_MODULE> import * in the target works fine.

socket connect() vs bind()

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets#bind.28.29

connect():

The connect() system call connects a socket, identified by its file descriptor, to a remote host specified by that host's address in the argument list.

Certain types of sockets are connectionless, most commonly user datagram protocol sockets. For these sockets, connect takes on a special meaning: the default target for sending and receiving data gets set to the given address, allowing the use of functions such as send() and recv() on connectionless sockets.

connect() returns an integer representing the error code: 0 represents success, while -1 represents an error.

bind():

bind() assigns a socket to an address. When a socket is created using socket(), it is only given a protocol family, but not assigned an address. This association with an address must be performed with the bind() system call before the socket can accept connections to other hosts. bind() takes three arguments:

sockfd, a descriptor representing the socket to perform the bind on. my_addr, a pointer to a sockaddr structure representing the address to bind to. addrlen, a socklen_t field specifying the size of the sockaddr structure. Bind() returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.

Examples: 1.)Using Connect

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(){
  int clientSocket;
  char buffer[1024];
  struct sockaddr_in serverAddr;
  socklen_t addr_size;

  /*---- Create the socket. The three arguments are: ----*/
  /* 1) Internet domain 2) Stream socket 3) Default protocol (TCP in this case) */
  clientSocket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

  /*---- Configure settings of the server address struct ----*/
  /* Address family = Internet */
  serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
  /* Set port number, using htons function to use proper byte order */
  serverAddr.sin_port = htons(7891);
  /* Set the IP address to desired host to connect to */
  serverAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.1.17");
  /* Set all bits of the padding field to 0 */
  memset(serverAddr.sin_zero, '\0', sizeof serverAddr.sin_zero);  

  /*---- Connect the socket to the server using the address struct ----*/
  addr_size = sizeof serverAddr;
  connect(clientSocket, (struct sockaddr *) &serverAddr, addr_size);

  /*---- Read the message from the server into the buffer ----*/
  recv(clientSocket, buffer, 1024, 0);

  /*---- Print the received message ----*/
  printf("Data received: %s",buffer);   

  return 0;
}

2.)Bind Example:

int main()
{
    struct sockaddr_in source, destination = {};  //two sockets declared as previously
    int sock = 0;
    int datalen = 0;
    int pkt = 0;

    uint8_t *send_buffer, *recv_buffer;

    struct sockaddr_storage fromAddr;   // same as the previous entity struct sockaddr_storage serverStorage;
    unsigned int addrlen;  //in the previous example socklen_t addr_size;
    struct timeval tv;
    tv.tv_sec = 3;  /* 3 Seconds Time-out */
    tv.tv_usec = 0;

    /* creating the socket */         
    if ((sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP)) < 0) 
        printf("Failed to create socket\n");

    /*set the socket options*/
    setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, (char *)&tv, sizeof(struct timeval));

    /*Inititalize source to zero*/
    memset(&source, 0, sizeof(source));       //source is an instance of sockaddr_in. Initialization to zero
    /*Inititalize destinaton to zero*/
    memset(&destination, 0, sizeof(destination));


    /*---- Configure settings of the source address struct, WHERE THE PACKET IS COMING FROM ----*/
    /* Address family = Internet */
    source.sin_family = AF_INET;    
    /* Set IP address to localhost */   
    source.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;  //INADDR_ANY = 0.0.0.0
    /* Set port number, using htons function to use proper byte order */
    source.sin_port = htons(7005); 
    /* Set all bits of the padding field to 0 */
    memset(source.sin_zero, '\0', sizeof source.sin_zero); //optional


    /*bind socket to the source WHERE THE PACKET IS COMING FROM*/
    if (bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &source, sizeof(source)) < 0) 
        printf("Failed to bind socket");

    /* setting the destination, i.e our OWN IP ADDRESS AND PORT */
    destination.sin_family = AF_INET;                 
    destination.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");  
    destination.sin_port = htons(7005); 

    //Creating a Buffer;
    send_buffer=(uint8_t *) malloc(350);
    recv_buffer=(uint8_t *) malloc(250);

    addrlen=sizeof(fromAddr);

    memset((void *) recv_buffer, 0, 250);
    memset((void *) send_buffer, 0, 350);

    sendto(sock, send_buffer, 20, 0,(struct sockaddr *) &destination, sizeof(destination));

    pkt=recvfrom(sock, recv_buffer, 98,0,(struct sockaddr *)&destination, &addrlen);
    if(pkt > 0)
        printf("%u bytes received\n", pkt);
    }

I hope that clarifies the difference

Please note that the socket type that you declare will depend on what you require, this is extremely important

How to convert a pandas DataFrame subset of columns AND rows into a numpy array?

Use its value directly:

In [79]: df[df.c > 0.5][['b', 'e']].values
Out[79]:

How do I center content in a div using CSS?

Update 2020:

There are several options available*:

*Disclaimer: This list may not be complete.

Using Flexbox
Nowadays, we can use flexbox. It is quite a handy alternative to the css-transform option. I would use this solution almost always. If it is just one element maybe not, but for example if I had to support an array of data e.g. rows and columns and I want them to be relatively centered in the very middle.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.flexbox {
  display: flex;
  height: 100px;
  flex-flow: row wrap;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
  border: 1px dotted #333;
}

.item {
  /* default => flex: 0 1 auto */
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 1px dotted #333;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
_x000D_
<div class="flexbox">
  <div class="item">I am centered in the middle.</div>
  <div class="item">I am centered in the middle, too.</div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Using CSS 2D-Transform
This is still a good option, was also the accepted solution back in 2015. It is very slim and simple to apply and does not mess with the layouting of other elements.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.boxes {
  position: relative;
}

.box {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #333;
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
}

.h-center {
  text-align: center;
}

.v-center span {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translate(0, -50%);
}
_x000D_
<div class="boxes">
  <div class="box h-center">horizontally centered lorem ipsun dolor sit amet</div>
  <div class="box v-center"><span>vertically centered lorem ipsun dolor sit amet lorem ipsun dolor sit amet</span></div>
  <div class="box h-center v-center"><span>horizontally and vertically centered lorem ipsun dolor sit amet</span></div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note: This does also work with :after and :before pseudo-elements.


Using Grid
This might just be an overkill, but it depends on your DOM. If you want to use grid anyway, then why not. It is very powerful alternative and you are really maximum flexible with the design.

Note: To align the items vertically we use flexbox in combination with grid. But we could also use display: grid on the items.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.grid {
  display: grid;
  width: 400px;
  grid-template-rows: 100px;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 100px 100px;
  grid-gap: 3px;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
  border: 1px dotted #333;
}

.item {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  border: 1px dotted #333;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.item-large {
  height: 80px;
}
_x000D_
<div class="grid">
  <div class="item">Item 1</div>
  <div class="item item-large">Item 2</div>
  <div class="item">Item 3</div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to set delay in vbscript

A lot of the answers here assume that you're running your VBScript in the Windows Scripting Host (usually wscript.exe or cscript.exe). If you're getting errors like 'Variable is undefined: "WScript"' then you're probably not.

The WScript object is only available if you're running under the Windows Scripting Host, if you're running under another script host, such as Internet Explorer's (and you might be without realising it if you're in something like an HTA) it's not automatically available.

Microsoft's Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog has an article that goes into just this topic How Can I Temporarily Pause a Script in an HTA? in which they use a VBScript setTimeout to create a timer to simulate a Sleep without needing to use CPU hogging loops, etc.

The code used is this:

<script language = "VBScript">

    Dim dtmStartTime

    Sub Test
        dtmStartTime = Now 
        idTimer = window.setTimeout("PausedSection", 5000, "VBScript")
    End Sub

    Sub PausedSection
        Msgbox dtmStartTime & vbCrLf & Now
        window.clearTimeout(idTimer)
    End Sub

</script>

<body>
    <input id=runbutton  type="button" value="Run Button" onClick="Test">
</body>

See the linked blog post for the full explanation, but essentially when the button is clicked it creates a timer that fires 5,000 milliseconds from now, and when it fires runs the VBScript sub-routine called "PausedSection" which clears the timer, and runs whatever code you want it to.

How to get a list of images on docker registry v2

This threads dates back a long time, the most recents tools that one should consider are skopeo and crane.

skopeo supports signing and has many other features, while crane is a bit more minimalistic and I found it easier to integrate with in a simple shell script.

Remove all special characters from a string in R?

Convert the Special characters to apostrophe,

Data  <- gsub("[^0-9A-Za-z///' ]","'" , Data ,ignore.case = TRUE)

Below code it to remove extra ''' apostrophe

Data <- gsub("''","" , Data ,ignore.case = TRUE)

Use gsub(..) function for replacing the special character with apostrophe

How to convert std::string to LPCSTR?

str.c_str() gives you a const char *, which is an LPCSTR (Long Pointer to Constant STRing) -- means that it's a pointer to a 0 terminated string of characters. W means wide string (composed of wchar_t instead of char).

git: How to ignore all present untracked files?

In case you are not on Unix like OS, this would work on Windows using PowerShell

git status --porcelain | ?{ $_ -match "^\?\? " }| %{$_ -replace "^\?\? ",""} | Add-Content .\.gitignore

However, .gitignore file has to have a new empty line, otherwise it will append text to the last line no matter if it has content.

This might be a better alternative:

$gi=gc .\.gitignore;$res=git status --porcelain|?{ $_ -match "^\?\? " }|%{ $_ -replace "^\?\? ", "" }; $res=$gi+$res; $res | Out-File .\.gitignore

Five equal columns in twitter bootstrap

How to allow CORS in react.js?

I deal with this issue for some hours. Let's consider the request is Reactjs (javascript) and backend (API) is Asp .Net Core.

in the request, you must set in header Content-Type:

Axios({
            method: 'post',
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
            url: 'https://localhost:44346/Order/Order/GiveOrder',
            data: order,
          }).then(function (response) {
            console.log(response);
          });

and in backend (Asp .net core API) u must have some setting:

1. in Startup --> ConfigureServices:

#region Allow-Orgin
            services.AddCors(c =>
            {
                c.AddPolicy("AllowOrigin", options => options.AllowAnyOrigin());
            });
            #endregion

2. in Startup --> Configure before app.UseMvc() :

app.UseCors(builder => builder
                .AllowAnyOrigin()
                .AllowAnyMethod()
                .AllowAnyHeader()
                .AllowCredentials());

3. in controller before action:

[EnableCors("AllowOrigin")]

REST, HTTP DELETE and parameters

I think this is non-restful. I do not think the restful service should handle the requirement of forcing the user to confirm a delete. I would handle this in the UI.

Does specifying force_delete=true make sense if this were a program's API? If someone was writing a script to delete this resource, would you want to force them to specify force_delete=true to actually delete the resource?

Change background of LinearLayout in Android

If you want to set through xml using android's default color codes, then you need to do as below:

android:background="@android:color/white"

If you have colors specified in your project's colors.xml, then use:

android:background="@color/white"

If you want to do programmatically, then do:

linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

How to filter an array from all elements of another array

All the above solutions "work", but are less than optimal for performance and are all approach the problem in the same way which is linearly searching all entries at each point using Array.prototype.indexOf or Array.prototype.includes. A far faster solution (far faster even than a binary search for most cases) would be to sort the arrays and skip ahead as you go along as seen below. However, one downside is that this requires all entries in the array to be numbers or strings. Also however, binary search may in some rare cases be faster than the progressive linear search. These cases arise from the fact that my progressive linear search has a complexity of O(2n1+n2) (only O(n1+n2) in the faster C/C++ version) (where n1 is the searched array and n2 is the filter array), whereas the binary search has a complexity of O(n1ceil(log2n2)) (ceil = round up -- to the ceiling), and, lastly, the indexOf search has a highly variable complexity between O(n1) and O(n1n2), averaging out to O(n1ceil(n2÷2)). Thus, indexOf will only be the fastest, on average, in the cases of (n1,n2) equaling {1,2}, {1,3}, or {x,1|x?N}. However, this is still not a perfect representation of modern hardware. IndexOf is natively optimized to the fullest extent imaginable in most modern browsers, making it very subject to the laws of branch prediction. Thus, if we make the same assumption on indexOf as we do with progressive linear and binary search -- that the array is presorted -- then, according to the stats listed in the link, we can expect roughly a 6x speed up for IndexOf, shifting its complexity to between O(n1÷6) and O(n1n2), averaging out to O(n1ceil(n27÷12)). Finally, take note that the below solution will never work with objects because objects in JavaScript cannot be compared by pointers in JavaScript.

function sortAnyArray(a,b) { return a>b ? 1 : (a===b ? 0 : -1); }
function sortIntArray(a,b) { return (a|0) - (b|0) |0; }
function fastFilter(array, handle) {
    var out=[], value=0;
    for (var i=0,  len=array.length|0; i < len; i=i+1|0)
        if (handle(value = array[i])) 
            out.push( value );
    return out;
}

const Math_clz32 = Math.clz32 || (function(log, LN2){
  return function(x) {
    return 31 - log(x >>> 0) / LN2 | 0; // the "| 0" acts like math.floor
  };
})(Math.log, Math.LN2);

If you are squeamish about file size (which I respect), then you can sacrifice a little performance in order to greatly reduce the file size and increase maintainability.

function sortAnyArray(a,b) { return a>b ? 1 : (a===b ? 0 : -1); }
function sortIntArray(a,b) { return (a|0) - (b|0) |0; }
function fastFilter(array, handle) {
    var out=[], value=0;
    for (var i=0,  len=array.length|0; i < len; i=i+1|0)
        if (handle(value = array[i])) 
            out.push( value );
    return out;
}

/* USAGE:
  filterArrayByAnotherArray(
      [1,3,5],
      [2,3,4]
  ) yields [1, 5], and it can work with strings too
*/
function filterArrayByAnotherArray(searchArray, filterArray) {
    if (
        // NOTE: This does not check the whole array. But, if you know
        //        that there are only strings or numbers (not a mix of
        //        both) in the array, then this is a safe assumption.
        typeof searchArray[0] == "number" &&
        typeof filterArray[0] == "number" &&
        (searchArray[0]|0) === searchArray[0] &&
        (filterArray[0]|0) === filterArray[0]
    ) {
        // if all entries in both arrays are integers
        searchArray.sort(sortIntArray);
        filterArray.sort(sortIntArray);
    } else {
        searchArray.sort(sortAnyArray);
        filterArray.sort(sortAnyArray);
    }
    // Progressive Linear Search
    var i = 0;
    return fastFilter(searchArray, function(currentValue){
        while (filterArray[i] < currentValue) i=i+1|0;
        // +undefined = NaN, which is always false for <, avoiding an infinite loop
        return filterArray[i] !== currentValue;
    });
}

To prove the difference in speed, let us examine some JSPerfs. For filtering an array of 16 elements, binary search is roughly 17% faster than indexOf while filterArrayByAnotherArray is roughly 93% faster than indexOf. For filtering an array of 256 elements, binary search is roughly 291% faster than indexOf while filterArrayByAnotherArray is roughly 353% faster than indexOf. For filtering an array of 4096 elements, binary search is roughly 2655% faster than indexOf while filterArrayByAnotherArray is roughly 4627% faster than indexOf.

Reverse-filtering (like an AND gate)

The previous section provided code to take array A and array B, and remove all elements from A that exist in B:

filterArrayByAnotherArray(
    [1,3,5],
    [2,3,4]
);
// yields [1, 5]

This next section will provide code for reverse-filtering, where we remove all elements from A that DO NOT exist in B. This process is functionally equivalent to only retaining the elements common to both A and B, like an AND gate:

reverseFilterArrayByAnotherArray(
    [1,3,5],
    [2,3,4]
);
// yields [3]

Here is the code for reverse filtering:

function sortAnyArray(a,b) { return a>b ? 1 : (a===b ? 0 : -1); }
function sortIntArray(a,b) { return (a|0) - (b|0) |0; }
function fastFilter(array, handle) {
    var out=[], value=0;
    for (var i=0,  len=array.length|0; i < len; i=i+1|0)
        if (handle(value = array[i])) 
            out.push( value );
    return out;
}

const Math_clz32 = Math.clz32 || (function(log, LN2){
  return function(x) {
    return 31 - log(x >>> 0) / LN2 | 0; // the "| 0" acts like math.floor
  };
})(Math.log, Math.LN2);

pyplot scatter plot marker size

Because other answers here claim that s denotes the area of the marker, I'm adding this answer to clearify that this is not necessarily the case.

Size in points^2

The argument s in plt.scatter denotes the markersize**2. As the documentation says

s : scalar or array_like, shape (n, ), optional
size in points^2. Default is rcParams['lines.markersize'] ** 2.

This can be taken literally. In order to obtain a marker which is x points large, you need to square that number and give it to the s argument.

So the relationship between the markersize of a line plot and the scatter size argument is the square. In order to produce a scatter marker of the same size as a plot marker of size 10 points you would hence call scatter( .., s=100).

enter image description here

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig,ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot([0],[0], marker="o",  markersize=10)
ax.plot([0.07,0.93],[0,0],    linewidth=10)
ax.scatter([1],[0],           s=100)

ax.plot([0],[1], marker="o",  markersize=22)
ax.plot([0.14,0.86],[1,1],    linewidth=22)
ax.scatter([1],[1],           s=22**2)

plt.show()

Connection to "area"

So why do other answers and even the documentation speak about "area" when it comes to the s parameter?

Of course the units of points**2 are area units.

  • For the special case of a square marker, marker="s", the area of the marker is indeed directly the value of the s parameter.
  • For a circle, the area of the circle is area = pi/4*s.
  • For other markers there may not even be any obvious relation to the area of the marker.

enter image description here

In all cases however the area of the marker is proportional to the s parameter. This is the motivation to call it "area" even though in most cases it isn't really.

Specifying the size of the scatter markers in terms of some quantity which is proportional to the area of the marker makes in thus far sense as it is the area of the marker that is perceived when comparing different patches rather than its side length or diameter. I.e. doubling the underlying quantity should double the area of the marker.

enter image description here

What are points?

So far the answer to what the size of a scatter marker means is given in units of points. Points are often used in typography, where fonts are specified in points. Also linewidths is often specified in points. The standard size of points in matplotlib is 72 points per inch (ppi) - 1 point is hence 1/72 inches.

It might be useful to be able to specify sizes in pixels instead of points. If the figure dpi is 72 as well, one point is one pixel. If the figure dpi is different (matplotlib default is fig.dpi=100),

1 point == fig.dpi/72. pixels

While the scatter marker's size in points would hence look different for different figure dpi, one could produce a 10 by 10 pixels^2 marker, which would always have the same number of pixels covered:

enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

for dpi in [72,100,144]:

    fig,ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(1.5,2), dpi=dpi)
    ax.set_title("fig.dpi={}".format(dpi))

    ax.set_ylim(-3,3)
    ax.set_xlim(-2,2)

    ax.scatter([0],[1], s=10**2, 
               marker="s", linewidth=0, label="100 points^2")
    ax.scatter([1],[1], s=(10*72./fig.dpi)**2, 
               marker="s", linewidth=0, label="100 pixels^2")

    ax.legend(loc=8,framealpha=1, fontsize=8)

    fig.savefig("fig{}.png".format(dpi), bbox_inches="tight")

plt.show()

How can I show an image using the ImageView component in javafx and fxml?

You don't need an initializer, unless you're dynamically loading a different image each time. I think doing as much as possible in fxml is more organized. Here is an fxml file that will do what you need.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

<AnchorPane
    xmlns:fx="http://javafx.co/fxml/1"
    xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/2.2"
    fx:controller="application.SampleController"
    prefHeight="316.0"
    prefWidth="321.0"
    >
    <children>
        <ImageView
                fx:id="imageView"
                fitHeight="150.0"
                fitWidth="200.0"
                layoutX="61.0"
                layoutY="83.0"
                pickOnBounds="true"
                preserveRatio="true"
            >
            <image>
                <Image
                    url="src/Box13.jpg"
                    backgroundLoading="true"
                    />
            </image>
        </ImageView>
    </children>
</AnchorPane>

Specifying the backgroundLoading property in the Image tag is optional, it defaults to false. It's best to set backgroundLoading true when it takes a moment or longer to load the image, that way a placeholder will be used until the image loads, and the program wont freeze while loading.

Errors in SQL Server while importing CSV file despite varchar(MAX) being used for each column

The Advanced Editor did not resolve my issue, instead I was forced to edit dtsx-file through notepad (or your favorite text/xml editor) and manually replace values in attributes to

length="0" dataType="nText" (I'm using unicode)

Always make a backup of the dtsx-file before you edit in text/xml mode.

Parse JSON file using GSON

One thing that to be remembered while solving such problems is that in JSON file, a { indicates a JSONObject and a [ indicates JSONArray. If one could manage them properly, it would be very easy to accomplish the task of parsing the JSON file. The above code was really very helpful for me and I hope this content adds some meaning to the above code.

The Gson JsonReader documentation explains how to handle parsing of JsonObjects and JsonArrays:

  • Within array handling methods, first call beginArray() to consume the array's opening bracket. Then create a while loop that accumulates values, terminating when hasNext() is false. Finally, read the array's closing bracket by calling endArray().
  • Within object handling methods, first call beginObject() to consume the object's opening brace. Then create a while loop that assigns values to local variables based on their name. This loop should terminate when hasNext() is false. Finally, read the object's closing brace by calling endObject().

Ansible: Set variable to file content

You can use lookups in Ansible in order to get the contents of a file, e.g.

user_data: "{{ lookup('file', user_data_file) }}"

Caveat: This lookup will work with local files, not remote files.

Here's a complete example from the docs:

- hosts: all
  vars:
     contents: "{{ lookup('file', '/etc/foo.txt') }}"
  tasks:
     - debug: msg="the value of foo.txt is {{ contents }}"

Where can I find php.ini?

In command window type

php --ini

It will show you the path something like

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File:         /usr/local/lib/php.ini

If the above command does not work then use this

echo phpinfo();

How to delete a workspace in Eclipse?

Just delete the whole directory. This will delete all the projects but also the Eclipse cache and settings for the workspace. These are kept in the .metadata folder of an Eclipse workspace. Note that you can configure Eclipse to use project folders that are outside the workspace folder as well, so you may want to verify the location of each of the projects.

You can remove the workspace from the suggested workspaces by going into the General/Startup and Shutdown/Workspaces section of the preferences (via Preferences > General > Startup & Shudown > Workspaces > [Remove] ). Note that this does not remove the files itself. For old versions of Eclipse you will need to edit the org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file in the configuration/.settings directory under your installation directory (or in ~/.eclipse on Unix, IIRC).

Same Navigation Drawer in different Activities

I do it in Kotlin like this:

open class BaseAppCompatActivity : AppCompatActivity(), NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {

protected lateinit var drawerLayout: DrawerLayout
protected lateinit var navigationView: NavigationView
@Inject
lateinit var loginService: LoginService

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    Log.d("BaseAppCompatActivity", "onCreate()")
    App.getComponent().inject(this)
    drawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout) as DrawerLayout

    val toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar) as Toolbar
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar)

    navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view) as NavigationView
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this)

    val toggle = ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close)

    drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle)
    toggle.syncState()
    toggle.isDrawerIndicatorEnabled = true

    val navigationViewHeaderView = navigationView.getHeaderView(0)
    navigationViewHeaderView.login_txt.text = SharedKey.username
}
private inline fun <reified T: Activity> launch():Boolean{
    if(this is T) return closeDrawer()
    val intent = Intent(applicationContext, T::class.java)
    startActivity(intent)
    finish()
    return true
}

private fun closeDrawer(): Boolean {
    drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
    return true
}
override fun onNavigationItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
    val id = item.itemId

    when (id) {
        R.id.action_tasks -> {
            return launch<TasksActivity>()
        }
        R.id.action_contacts -> {
            return launch<ContactActivity>()
        }
        R.id.action_logout -> {
            createExitDialog(loginService, this)
        }
    }
    return false
}
}

Activities for drawer must inherit this BaseAppCompatActivity, call super.onCreate after content is set (actually, can be moved to some init method) and have corresponding elements for ids in their layout

In Python, how do I index a list with another list?

You could also use the __getitem__ method combined with map like the following:

L = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h']
Idx = [0, 3, 7]
res = list(map(L.__getitem__, Idx))
print(res)
# ['a', 'd', 'h']

How do I remove a single breakpoint with GDB?

You can list breakpoints with:

info break

This will list all breakpoints. Then a breakpoint can be deleted by its corresponding number:

del 3

For example:

 (gdb) info b
 Num     Type           Disp Enb Address    What
  3      breakpoint     keep y   0x004018c3 in timeCorrect at my3.c:215
  4      breakpoint     keep y   0x004295b0 in avi_write_packet atlibavformat/avienc.c:513
 (gdb) del 3
 (gdb) info b
 Num     Type           Disp Enb Address    What
  4      breakpoint     keep y   0x004295b0 in avi_write_packet atlibavformat/avienc.c:513

Why do I get "Pickle - EOFError: Ran out of input" reading an empty file?

As you see, that's actually a natural error ..

A typical construct for reading from an Unpickler object would be like this ..

try:
    data = unpickler.load()
except EOFError:
    data = list()  # or whatever you want

EOFError is simply raised, because it was reading an empty file, it just meant End of File ..

Should I set max pool size in database connection string? What happens if I don't?

We can define maximum pool size in following way:

                <pool> 
               <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
                <max-pool-size>200</max-pool-size>
                <prefill>true</prefill>
                <use-strict-min>true</use-strict-min>
                <flush-strategy>IdleConnections</flush-strategy>
                </pool>

Warning: X may be used uninitialized in this function

You get the warning because you did not assign a value to one, which is a pointer. This is undefined behavior.

You should declare it like this:

Vector* one = malloc(sizeof(Vector));

or like this:

Vector one;

in which case you need to replace -> operator with . like this:

one.a = 12;
one.b = 13;
one.c = -11;

Finally, in C99 and later you can use designated initializers:

Vector one = {
   .a = 12
,  .b = 13
,  .c = -11
};

Using Apache httpclient for https

When I used Apache HTTP Client 4.3, I was using the Pooled or Basic Connection Managers to the HTTP Client. I noticed, from using java SSL debugging, that these classes loaded the cacerts trust store and not the one I had specified programmatically.

PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager cm = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager();
BasicHttpClientConnectionManager cm = new BasicHttpClientConnectionManager();
builder.setConnectionManager( cm );

I wanted to use them but ended up removing them and creating an HTTP Client without them. Note that builder is an HttpClientBuilder.

I confirmed when running my program with the Java SSL debug flags, and stopped in the debugger. I used -Djavax.net.debug=ssl as a VM argument. I stopped my code in the debugger and when either of the above *ClientConnectionManager were constructed, the cacerts file would be loaded.

How do I iterate through each element in an n-dimensional matrix in MATLAB?

You can use linear indexing to access each element.

for idx = 1:numel(array)
    element = array(idx)
    ....
end

This is useful if you don't need to know what i,j,k, you are at. However, if you don't need to know what index you are at, you are probably better off using arrayfun()

SQL-Server: Is there a SQL script that I can use to determine the progress of a SQL Server backup or restore process?

If you know the sessionID then you can use the following:

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests WHERE session_id = 62

Or if you want to narrow it down:

SELECT command, percent_complete, start_time FROM sys.dm_exec_requests WHERE session_id = 62

Regex for 1 or 2 digits, optional non-alphanumeric, 2 known alphas

How to increase an array's length

By definition arrays are fixed size. You can use instead an Arraylist wich is that, a "dynamic size" array. Actually what happens is that the VM "adjust the size"* of the array exposed by the ArrayList.

What is an API key?

What "exactly" an API key is used for depends very much on who issues it, and what services it's being used for. By and large, however, an API key is the name given to some form of secret token which is submitted alongside web service (or similar) requests in order to identify the origin of the request. The key may be included in some digest of the request content to further verify the origin and to prevent tampering with the values.

Typically, if you can identify the source of a request positively, it acts as a form of authentication, which can lead to access control. For example, you can restrict access to certain API actions based on who's performing the request. For companies which make money from selling such services, it's also a way of tracking who's using the thing for billing purposes. Further still, by blocking a key, you can partially prevent abuse in the case of too-high request volumes.

In general, if you have both a public and a private API key, then it suggests that the keys are themselves a traditional public/private key pair used in some form of asymmetric cryptography, or related, digital signing. These are more secure techniques for positively identifying the source of a request, and additionally, for protecting the request's content from snooping (in addition to tampering).

Which terminal command to get just IP address and nothing else?

We can simply use only 2 commands ( ifconfig + awk ) to get just the IP (v4) we want like so:

On Linux, assuming to get IP address from eth0 interface, run the following command:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk '/inet addr/{print substr($2,6)}'

On OSX, assumming to get IP adddress from en0 interface, run the following command:

/sbin/ifconfig en0 | awk '/inet /{print $2}'

To know our public/external IP, add this function in ~/.bashrc

whatismyip () {
    curl -s "http://api.duckduckgo.com/?q=ip&format=json" | jq '.Answer' | grep --color=auto -oE "\b([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b"
}

Then run, whatismyip

ORDER BY using Criteria API

You can add join type as well:

Criteria c2 = c.createCriteria("mother", "mother", CriteriaSpecification.LEFT_JOIN);
Criteria c3 = c2.createCriteria("kind", "kind", CriteriaSpecification.LEFT_JOIN);

how to filter out a null value from spark dataframe

There are two ways to do it: creating filter condition 1) Manually 2) Dynamically.

Sample DataFrame:

val df = spark.createDataFrame(Seq(
  (0, "a1", "b1", "c1", "d1"),
  (1, "a2", "b2", "c2", "d2"),
  (2, "a3", "b3", null, "d3"),
  (3, "a4", null, "c4", "d4"),
  (4, null, "b5", "c5", "d5")
)).toDF("id", "col1", "col2", "col3", "col4")

+---+----+----+----+----+
| id|col1|col2|col3|col4|
+---+----+----+----+----+
|  0|  a1|  b1|  c1|  d1|
|  1|  a2|  b2|  c2|  d2|
|  2|  a3|  b3|null|  d3|
|  3|  a4|null|  c4|  d4|
|  4|null|  b5|  c5|  d5|
+---+----+----+----+----+

1) Creating filter condition manually i.e. using DataFrame where or filter function

df.filter(col("col1").isNotNull && col("col2").isNotNull).show

or

df.where("col1 is not null and col2 is not null").show

Result:

+---+----+----+----+----+
| id|col1|col2|col3|col4|
+---+----+----+----+----+
|  0|  a1|  b1|  c1|  d1|
|  1|  a2|  b2|  c2|  d2|
|  2|  a3|  b3|null|  d3|
+---+----+----+----+----+

2) Creating filter condition dynamically: This is useful when we don't want any column to have null value and there are large number of columns, which is mostly the case.

To create the filter condition manually in these cases will waste a lot of time. In below code we are including all columns dynamically using map and reduce function on DataFrame columns:

val filterCond = df.columns.map(x=>col(x).isNotNull).reduce(_ && _)

How filterCond looks:

filterCond: org.apache.spark.sql.Column = (((((id IS NOT NULL) AND (col1 IS NOT NULL)) AND (col2 IS NOT NULL)) AND (col3 IS NOT NULL)) AND (col4 IS NOT NULL))

Filtering:

val filteredDf = df.filter(filterCond)

Result:

+---+----+----+----+----+
| id|col1|col2|col3|col4|
+---+----+----+----+----+
|  0|  a1|  b1|  c1|  d1|
|  1|  a2|  b2|  c2|  d2|
+---+----+----+----+----+

log4j: Log output of a specific class to a specific appender

An example:

Encoding URL query parameters in Java

if you have only space problem in url. I have used below code and it work fine

String url;
URL myUrl = new URL(url.replace(" ","%20"));

example : url is

www.xyz.com?para=hello sir

then output of muUrl is

www.xyz.com?para=hello%20sir

AngularJS is rendering <br> as text not as a newline

You can use \n to concatenate words and then apply this style to container div.

style="white-space: pre;"

More info can be found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space

_x000D_
_x000D_
<p style="white-space: pre;">_x000D_
    This is normal text._x000D_
</p>_x000D_
<p style="white-space: pre;">_x000D_
    This _x000D_
  text _x000D_

Setting href attribute at runtime

Set the href attribute with

$(selector).attr('href', 'url_goes_here');

and read it using

$(selector).attr('href');

Where "selector" is any valid jQuery selector for your <a> element (".myClass" or "#myId" to name the most simple ones).

Hope this helps !

Javascript parse float is ignoring the decimals after my comma

From my origin country the currency format is like "3.050,89 €"

parseFloat identifies the dot as the decimal separator, to add 2 values we could put it like these:

parseFloat(element.toString().replace(/\./g,'').replace(',', '.'))

How to copy files from 'assets' folder to sdcard?

This would be concise way in Kotlin.

    fun AssetManager.copyRecursively(assetPath: String, targetFile: File) {
        val list = list(assetPath)
        if (list.isEmpty()) { // assetPath is file
            open(assetPath).use { input ->
                FileOutputStream(targetFile.absolutePath).use { output ->
                    input.copyTo(output)
                    output.flush()
                }
            }

        } else { // assetPath is folder
            targetFile.delete()
            targetFile.mkdir()

            list.forEach {
                copyRecursively("$assetPath/$it", File(targetFile, it))
            }
        }
    }

How to get AM/PM from a datetime in PHP

$dateString = '08/04/2010 22:15:00';

Multiple aggregate functions in HAVING clause

There is no need to do two checks, why not just check for count = 3:

GROUP BY meetingID
HAVING COUNT(caseID) = 3

If you want to use the multiple checks, then you can use:

GROUP BY meetingID
HAVING COUNT(caseID) > 2
 AND COUNT(caseID) < 4

Which characters need to be escaped when using Bash?

There are two easy and safe rules which work not only in sh but also bash.

1. Put the whole string in single quotes

This works for all chars except single quote itself. To escape the single quote, close the quoting before it, insert the single quote, and re-open the quoting.

'I'\''m a s@fe $tring which ends in newline
'

sed command: sed -e "s/'/'\\\\''/g; 1s/^/'/; \$s/\$/'/"

2. Escape every char with a backslash

This works for all characters except newline. For newline characters use single or double quotes. Empty strings must still be handled - replace with ""

\I\'\m\ \a\ \s\@\f\e\ \$\t\r\i\n\g\ \w\h\i\c\h\ \e\n\d\s\ \i\n\ \n\e\w\l\i\n\e"
"

sed command: sed -e 's/./\\&/g; 1{$s/^$/""/}; 1!s/^/"/; $!s/$/"/'.

2b. More readable version of 2

There's an easy safe set of characters, like [a-zA-Z0-9,._+:@%/-], which can be left unescaped to keep it more readable

I\'m\ a\ s@fe\ \$tring\ which\ ends\ in\ newline"
"

sed command: LC_ALL=C sed -e 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9,._+@%/-]/\\&/g; 1{$s/^$/""/}; 1!s/^/"/; $!s/$/"/'.


Note that in a sed program, one can't know whether the last line of input ends with a newline byte (except when it's empty). That's why both above sed commands assume it does not. You can add a quoted newline manually.

Note that shell variables are only defined for text in the POSIX sense. Processing binary data is not defined. For the implementations that matter, binary works with the exception of NUL bytes (because variables are implemented with C strings, and meant to be used as C strings, namely program arguments), but you should switch to a "binary" locale such as latin1.


(You can easily validate the rules by reading the POSIX spec for sh. For bash, check the reference manual linked by @AustinPhillips)

How to set calculation mode to manual when opening an excel file?

The best way around this would be to create an Excel called 'launcher.xlsm' in the same folder as the file you wish to open. In the 'launcher' file put the following code in the 'Workbook' object, but set the constant TargetWBName to be the name of the file you wish to open.

Private Const TargetWBName As String = "myworkbook.xlsx"

'// First, a function to tell us if the workbook is already open...
Function WorkbookOpen(WorkBookName As String) As Boolean
' returns TRUE if the workbook is open
    WorkbookOpen = False
    On Error GoTo WorkBookNotOpen
    If Len(Application.Workbooks(WorkBookName).Name) > 0 Then
        WorkbookOpen = True
        Exit Function
    End If
WorkBookNotOpen:
End Function

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    'Check if our target workbook is open
    If WorkbookOpen(TargetWBName) = False Then
        'set calculation to manual
        Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & TargetWBName
        DoEvents
        Me.Close False
    End If
End Sub

Set the constant 'TargetWBName' to be the name of the workbook that you wish to open. This code will simply switch calculation to manual, then open the file. The launcher file will then automatically close itself. *NOTE: If you do not wish to be prompted to 'Enable Content' every time you open this file (depending on your security settings) you should temporarily remove the 'me.close' to prevent it from closing itself, save the file and set it to be trusted, and then re-enable the 'me.close' call before saving again. Alternatively, you could just set the False to True after Me.Close

Oracle: how to add minutes to a timestamp?

Override hosts variable of Ansible playbook from the command line

If you want to run a task that's associated with a host, but on different host, you should try delegate_to.

In your case, you should delegate to your localhost (ansible master) and calling ansible-playbook command

Put byte array to JSON and vice versa

Amazingly now org.json now lets you put a byte[] object directly into a json and it remains readable. you can even send the resulting object over a websocket and it will be readable on the other side. but i am not sure yet if the size of the resulting object is bigger or smaller than if you were converting your byte array to base64, it would certainly be neat if it was smaller.

It seems to be incredibly hard to measure how much space such a json object takes up in java. if your json consists merely of strings it is easily achievable by simply stringifying it but with a bytearray inside it i fear it is not as straightforward.

stringifying our json in java replaces my bytearray for a 10 character string that looks like an id. doing the same in node.js replaces our byte[] for an unquoted value reading <Buffered Array: f0 ff ff ...> the length of the latter indicates a size increase of ~300% as would be expected

Remove a file from a Git repository without deleting it from the local filesystem

A more generic solution:

  1. Edit .gitignore file.

    echo mylogfile.log >> .gitignore

  2. Remove all items from index.

    git rm -r -f --cached .

  3. Rebuild index.

    git add .

  4. Make new commit

    git commit -m "Removed mylogfile.log"

Get all rows from SQLite

public List<String> getAllData(String email)
{

    db = this.getReadableDatabase();
    String[] projection={email};

    List<String> list=new ArrayList<>();

    Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_USER, //Table to query
            null,    //columns to return
            "user_email=?",        //columns for the WHERE clause
            projection,        //The values for the WHERE clause
            null,       //group the rows
            null,       //filter by row groups
            null);
    //  cursor.moveToFirst();

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {

            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_id")));
            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_name")));
            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_email")));
            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_password")));

"for loop" with two variables?

There's two possible questions here: how can you iterate over those variables simultaneously, or how can you loop over their combination.

Fortunately, there's simple answers to both. First case, you want to use zip.

x = [1, 2, 3]
y = [4, 5, 6]

for i, j in zip(x, y):
   print(str(i) + " / " + str(j))

will output

1 / 4
2 / 5
3 / 6

Remember that you can put any iterable in zip, so you could just as easily write your exmple like:

for i, j in zip(range(x), range(y)):
    # do work here.

Actually, just realised that won't work. It would only iterate until the smaller range ran out. In which case, it sounds like you want to iterate over the combination of loops.

In the other case, you just want a nested loop.

for i in x:
    for j in y:
        print(str(i) + " / " + str(j))

gives you

1 / 4
1 / 5
1 / 6
2 / 4
2 / 5
...

You can also do this as a list comprehension.

[str(i) + " / " + str(j) for i in range(x) for j in range(y)]

Hope that helps.

What is the difference between children and childNodes in JavaScript?

Element.children returns only element children, while Node.childNodes returns all node children. Note that elements are nodes, so both are available on elements.

I believe childNodes is more reliable. For example, MDC (linked above) notes that IE only got children right in IE 9. childNodes provides less room for error by browser implementors.

Leave only two decimal places after the dot

yourValue.ToString("0.00") will work.

How to Install gcc 5.3 with yum on CentOS 7.2?

You can use the centos-sclo-rh-testing repo to install GCC v7 without having to compile it forever, also enable V7 by default and let you switch between different versions if required.

sudo yum install -y yum-utils centos-release-scl;
sudo yum -y --enablerepo=centos-sclo-rh-testing install devtoolset-7-gcc;
echo "source /opt/rh/devtoolset-7/enable" | sudo tee -a /etc/profile;
source /opt/rh/devtoolset-7/enable;
gcc --version;

Resolve Javascript Promise outside function scope

I find myself missing the Deferred pattern as well in certain cases. You can always create one on top of a ES6 Promise:

export default class Deferred<T> {
    private _resolve: (value: T) => void = () => {};
    private _reject: (value: T) => void = () => {};

    private _promise: Promise<T> = new Promise<T>((resolve, reject) => {
        this._reject = reject;
        this._resolve = resolve;
    })

    public get promise(): Promise<T> {
        return this._promise;
    }

    public resolve(value: T) {
        this._resolve(value);
    }

    public reject(value: T) {
        this._reject(value);
    }
}

Importing class from another file

Your problem is basically that you never specified the right path to the file.

Try instead, from your main script:

from folder.file import Klasa

Or, with from folder import file:

from folder import file
k = file.Klasa()

Or again:

import folder.file as myModule
k = myModule.Klasa()

Make a borderless form movable?

For .NET Framework 4,

You can use this.DragMove() for the MouseDown event of the component (mainLayout in this example) you are using to drag.

private void mainLayout_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    this.DragMove();
}

What are the default access modifiers in C#?

Simplest answer is the following.....

All members in C# always take the LEAST accessible modifier possible by default.

That is why all top level classes in an assembly are "internal" by default, which means they are public to the assembly they are in, but private or excluded from access to outside assemblies. The only other option for a top level class is public which is more accessible. For nested types its all private except for a few rare exceptions like members of enums and interfaces which can only be public. Some examples. In the case of top level classes and interfaces, the defaults are:

class Animal same as internal class Animal

interface Animal same as public interface Animal

In the case of nested classes and interfaces (inside types), the defaults are:

class Animal same as private class Animal

interface Animal same as private interface Animal

If you just assume the default is always the most private, then you do not need to use an accessors until you need to change the default. Easy.

Can I have multiple :before pseudo-elements for the same element?

In CSS2.1, an element can only have at most one of any kind of pseudo-element at any time. (This means an element can have both a :before and an :after pseudo-element — it just cannot have more than one of each kind.)

As a result, when you have multiple :before rules matching the same element, they will all cascade and apply to a single :before pseudo-element, as with a normal element. In your example, the end result looks like this:

.circle.now:before {
    content: "Now";
    font-size: 19px;
    color: black;
}

As you can see, only the content declaration that has highest precedence (as mentioned, the one that comes last) will take effect — the rest of the declarations are discarded, as is the case with any other CSS property.

This behavior is described in the Selectors section of CSS2.1:

Pseudo-elements behave just like real elements in CSS with the exceptions described below and elsewhere.

This implies that selectors with pseudo-elements work just like selectors for normal elements. It also means the cascade should work the same way. Strangely, CSS2.1 appears to be the only reference; neither css3-selectors nor css3-cascade mention this at all, and it remains to be seen whether it will be clarified in a future specification.

If an element can match more than one selector with the same pseudo-element, and you want all of them to apply somehow, you will need to create additional CSS rules with combined selectors so that you can specify exactly what the browser should do in those cases. I can't provide a complete example including the content property here, since it's not clear for instance whether the symbol or the text should come first. But the selector you need for this combined rule is either .circle.now:before or .now.circle:before — whichever selector you choose is personal preference as both selectors are equivalent, it's only the value of the content property that you will need to define yourself.

If you still need a concrete example, see my answer to this similar question.

The legacy css3-content specification contains a section on inserting multiple ::before and ::after pseudo-elements using a notation that's compatible with the CSS2.1 cascade, but note that that particular document is obsolete — it hasn't been updated since 2003, and no one has implemented that feature in the past decade. The good news is that the abandoned document is actively undergoing a rewrite in the guise of css-content-3 and css-pseudo-4. The bad news is that the multiple pseudo-elements feature is nowhere to be found in either specification, presumably owing, again, to lack of implementer interest.

Why can't I reference my class library?

I had a similar problems where VS would sometimes build and sometimes not. After some searching and attempts I discovered that I had an ambiguous reference to a class with the same name in different libraries ('FileManager'). The project that would not build were my Unit Tests that reference all modules in my solution. Enforcing the reference to a specific module sorted things out for me.

My point is: Rather than blaming ReSharper or VS, it may be a good idea to double check if there really isn't some kind of circular reference somehow. More than often, classes with the same names in different modules could cause confusion and is often a symptom of bad design (like in my case).

Best way to remove an event handler in jQuery?

This can be done by using the unbind function.

$('#myimage').unbind('click');

You can add multiple event handlers to the same object and event in jquery. This means adding a new one doesn't replace the old ones.

There are several strategies for changing event handlers, such as event namespaces. There are some pages about this in the online docs.

Look at this question (that's how I learned of unbind). There is some useful description of these strategies in the answers.

How to read bound hover callback functions in jquery

Equivalent of LIMIT for DB2

Theres these available options:-

DB2 has several strategies to cope with this problem.
You can use the "scrollable cursor" in feature.
In this case you can open a cursor and, instead of re-issuing a query you can FETCH forward and backward.
This works great if your application can hold state since it doesn't require DB2 to rerun the query every time.
You can use the ROW_NUMBER() OLAP function to number rows and then return the subset you want.
This is ANSI SQL 
You can use the ROWNUM pseudo columns which does the same as ROW_NUMBER() but is suitable if you have Oracle skills.
You can use LIMIT and OFFSET if you are more leaning to a mySQL or PostgreSQL dialect.  

How to make CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW work in SQL Server?

Here is another method, where you don't have to duplicate the contents of the view:

IF (NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sys.views WHERE name = 'data_VVV'))
BEGIN
    EXECUTE('CREATE VIEW data_VVVV as SELECT 1 as t');
END;

GO

ALTER VIEW data_VVVV AS 
    SELECT VCV.xxxx, VCV.yyyy AS yyyy, VCV.zzzz AS zzzz FROM TABLE_A ;

The first checks for the existence of the view (there are other ways to do this). If it doesn't exist, then create it with something simple and dumb. If it does, then just move on to the alter view statement.

Why does javascript map function return undefined?

Filter works for this specific case where the items are not modified. But in many cases when you use map you want to make some modification to the items passed.

if that is your intent, you can use reduce:

var arr = ['a','b',1];
var results = arr.reduce((results, item) => {
    if (typeof item === 'string') results.push(modify(item)) // modify is a fictitious function that would apply some change to the items in the array
    return results
}, [])

Visual Studio Error: (407: Proxy Authentication Required)

<system.net> <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" enabled="true"> <proxy usesystemdefault="True" /> </defaultProxy> <settings> <ipv6 enabled="true"/> </settings> </system.net>

to ..\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config (running notepad as admin and opening the file from within there)

What could cause an error related to npm not being able to find a file? No contents in my node_modules subfolder. Why is that?

In my case, I had to create a new app, reinstall my node packages, and copy my src document over. That worked.

TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type

It looks like your 'trainData' is a list of strings:

['-214' '-153' '-58' ..., '36' '191' '-37']

Change your 'trainData' to a numeric type.

 import numpy as np
 np.array(['1','2','3']).astype(np.float)

Angular 2 Sibling Component Communication

Updated to rc.4: When trying to get data passed between sibling components in angular 2, The simplest way right now (angular.rc.4) is to take advantage of angular2's hierarchal dependency injection and create a shared service.

Here would be the service:

import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class SharedService {
    dataArray: string[] = [];

    insertData(data: string){
        this.dataArray.unshift(data);
    }
}

Now, here would be the PARENT component

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {SharedService} from './shared.service';
import {ChildComponent} from './child.component';
import {ChildSiblingComponent} from './child-sibling.component';
@Component({
    selector: 'parent-component',
    template: `
        <h1>Parent</h1>
        <div>
            <child-component></child-component>
            <child-sibling-component></child-sibling-component>
        </div>
    `,
    providers: [SharedService],
    directives: [ChildComponent, ChildSiblingComponent]
})
export class parentComponent{

} 

and its two children

child 1

import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {SharedService} from './shared.service'

@Component({
    selector: 'child-component',
    template: `
        <h1>I am a child</h1>
        <div>
            <ul *ngFor="#data in data">
                <li>{{data}}</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    `
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnInit{
    data: string[] = [];
    constructor(
        private _sharedService: SharedService) { }
    ngOnInit():any {
        this.data = this._sharedService.dataArray;
    }
}

child 2 (It's sibling)

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {SharedService} from './shared.service'

@Component({
    selector: 'child-sibling-component',
    template: `
        <h1>I am a child</h1>
        <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="data"/>
        <button (click)="addData()"></button>
    `
})
export class ChildSiblingComponent{
    data: string = 'Testing data';
    constructor(
        private _sharedService: SharedService){}
    addData(){
        this._sharedService.insertData(this.data);
        this.data = '';
    }
}

NOW: Things to take note of when using this method.

  1. Only include the service provider for the shared service in the PARENT component and NOT the children.
  2. You still have to include constructors and import the service in the children
  3. This answer was originally answered for an early angular 2 beta version. All that has changed though are the import statements, so that is all you need to update if you used the original version by chance.

Error Code: 1406. Data too long for column - MySQL

I think that switching off the STRICT mode is not a good option because the app can start losing the data entered by users.

If you receive values for the TESTcol from an app you could add model validation, like in Rails

validates :TESTcol, length: { maximum: 45 }

If you manipulate with values in SQL script you could truncate the string with the SUBSTRING command

INSERT INTO TEST
VALUES
(
    1,
    SUBSTRING('Vikas Kumar Gupta Kratika Shukla Kritika Shukla', 0, 45)
);

Android - Handle "Enter" in an EditText

Using Kotlin I've made a function that handles all kinds of "done"-like actions for EditText, including the keyboard, and it's possible to modify it and also handle other keys as you wish, too :

private val DEFAULT_ACTIONS_TO_HANDLE_AS_DONE_FOR_EDIT_TEXT = arrayListOf(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND, EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO, EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH, EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)
private val DEFAULT_KEYS_TO_HANDLE_AS_DONE_FOR_EDIT_TEXT = arrayListOf(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_NUMPAD_ENTER)

fun EditText.setOnDoneListener(function: () -> Unit, onKeyListener: OnKeyListener? = null, onEditorActionListener: TextView.OnEditorActionListener? = null,
                               actionsToHandle: Collection<Int> = DEFAULT_ACTIONS_TO_HANDLE_AS_DONE_FOR_EDIT_TEXT,
                               keysToHandle: Collection<Int> = DEFAULT_KEYS_TO_HANDLE_AS_DONE_FOR_EDIT_TEXT) {
    setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, event ->
        if (onEditorActionListener?.onEditorAction(v, actionId, event) == true)
            return@setOnEditorActionListener true
        if (actionsToHandle.contains(actionId)) {
            function.invoke()
            return@setOnEditorActionListener true
        }
        return@setOnEditorActionListener false
    }
    setOnKeyListener { v, keyCode, event ->
        if (onKeyListener?.onKey(v, keyCode, event) == true)
            return@setOnKeyListener true
        if (event.action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN && keysToHandle.contains(keyCode)) {
            function.invoke()
            return@setOnKeyListener true
        }
        return@setOnKeyListener false
    }
}

So, sample usage:

        editText.setOnDoneListener({
            //do something
        })

As for changing the label, I think it depends on the keyboard app, and that it usually change only on landscape, as written here. Anyway, example usage for this:

        editText.imeOptions = EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE
        editText.setImeActionLabel("ASD", editText.imeOptions)

Or, if you want in XML:

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:imeActionLabel="ZZZ" android:imeOptions="actionDone" />

And the result (shown in landscape) :

When to use SELECT ... FOR UPDATE?

Short answers:

Q1: Yes.

Q2: Doesn't matter which you use.

Long answer:

A select ... for update will (as it implies) select certain rows but also lock them as if they have already been updated by the current transaction (or as if the identity update had been performed). This allows you to update them again in the current transaction and then commit, without another transaction being able to modify these rows in any way.

Another way of looking at it, it is as if the following two statements are executed atomically:

select * from my_table where my_condition;

update my_table set my_column = my_column where my_condition;

Since the rows affected by my_condition are locked, no other transaction can modify them in any way, and hence, transaction isolation level makes no difference here.

Note also that transaction isolation level is independent of locking: setting a different isolation level doesn't allow you to get around locking and update rows in a different transaction that are locked by your transaction.

What transaction isolation levels do guarantee (at different levels) is the consistency of data while transactions are in progress.

recursion versus iteration

Short answer: the trade off is recursion is faster and for loops take up less memory in almost all cases. However there are usually ways to change the for loop or recursion to make it run faster

Firebase cloud messaging notification not received by device

"You must also keep in mind that to receive Messages sent from Firebase Console, App must be in background, not started neither hidden." --- According to @Laurent Russier's comment.

I never got any message from Firebase, until i put my app in the background.

This is true only on usb connection for emulator you get notification in foreground as well

Notepad++ cached files location

I lost somehow my temporary notepad++ files, they weren't showing in tabs. So I did some search in appdata folder, and I found all my temporary files there. It seems that they are stored there for a long time.

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup

or

%AppData%\Notepad++\backup

Pass a JavaScript function as parameter

Here it's another approach :

function a(first,second)    
{        
return (second)(first);           
}     

a('Hello',function(e){alert(e+ ' world!');}); //=> Hello world     

How do I make Git use the editor of my choice for commits?

Setting Sublime Text 2 as Git commit editor in Mac OSX 10

Run this command:

Or just:

$ git config --global core.editor "subl -w"

How do I determine whether an array contains a particular value in Java?

Arrays.asList() -> then calling the contains() method will always work, but a search algorithm is much better since you don't need to create a lightweight list wrapper around the array, which is what Arrays.asList() does.

public boolean findString(String[] strings, String desired){
   for (String str : strings){
       if (desired.equals(str)) {
           return true;
       }
   }
   return false; //if we get here… there is no desired String, return false.
}

Build and Install unsigned apk on device without the development server?

You need to manually create the bundle for a debug build.

Bundle debug build:

#React-Native 0.59
react-native bundle --dev false --platform android --entry-file index.js --bundle-output ./android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest ./android/app/src/main/res

#React-Native 0.49.0+
react-native bundle --dev false --platform android --entry-file index.js --bundle-output ./android/app/build/intermediates/assets/debug/index.android.bundle --assets-dest ./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug

#React-Native 0-0.49.0
react-native bundle --dev false --platform android --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output ./android/app/build/intermediates/assets/debug/index.android.bundle --assets-dest ./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug

Then to build the APK's after bundling:

$ cd android
#Create debug build:
$ ./gradlew assembleDebug
#Create release build:
$ ./gradlew assembleRelease #Generated `apk` will be located at `android/app/build/outputs/apk`

P.S. Another approach might be to modify gradle scripts.

How to auto-reload files in Node.js?

Edit: My answer is obsolete. Node.js is a very fast changing technology.

I also wondered about reloading modules. I modified node.js and have published the source at Github at nalply/node. The only difference is the function require. It has an optional second argument reload.

require(url, reload)

To reload app.js in current directory use

app = require("./app", true);

Write something like this, and you have auto-reload:

process.watchFile(script_name, function(curr, prev) {
    module = reload(script_name, true);
});

The only problem I see is the variable module, but I am working at it now.

Using Spring 3 autowire in a standalone Java application

I case you are running SpringBoot:

I just had the same problem, that I could not Autowire one of my services from the static main method.

See below an approach in case you are relying on SpringApplication.run:

@SpringBootApplication
public class PricingOnlineApplication {

    @Autowired
    OrchestratorService orchestratorService;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(PricingOnlineApplication.class, args);
        PricingOnlineApplication application = context.getBean(PricingOnlineApplication.class);

        application.start();
    }

    private void start() {
        orchestratorService.performPricingRequest(null);
    }

}

I noticed that SpringApplication.run returns a context which can be used similar to the above described approaches. From there, it is exactly the same as above ;-)

How do you use the "WITH" clause in MySQL?

MySQL prior to version 8.0 doesn't support the WITH clause (CTE in SQL Server parlance; Subquery Factoring in Oracle), so you are left with using:

  • TEMPORARY tables
  • DERIVED tables
  • inline views (effectively what the WITH clause represents - they are interchangeable)

The request for the feature dates back to 2006.

As mentioned, you provided a poor example - there's no need to perform a subselect if you aren't altering the output of the columns in any way:

  SELECT * 
    FROM ARTICLE t
    JOIN USERINFO ui ON ui.user_userid = t.article_ownerid
    JOIN CATEGORY c ON c.catid =  t.article_categoryid
   WHERE t.published_ind = 0
ORDER BY t.article_date DESC 
   LIMIT 1, 3

Here's a better example:

SELECT t.name,
       t.num
  FROM TABLE t
  JOIN (SELECT c.id
               COUNT(*) 'num'
          FROM TABLE c
         WHERE c.column = 'a'
      GROUP BY c.id) ta ON ta.id = t.id

Normalization in DOM parsing with java - how does it work?

As an extension to @JBNizet's answer for more technical users here's what implementation of org.w3c.dom.Node interface in com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ParentNode looks like, gives you the idea how it actually works.

public void normalize() {
    // No need to normalize if already normalized.
    if (isNormalized()) {
        return;
    }
    if (needsSyncChildren()) {
        synchronizeChildren();
    }
    ChildNode kid;
    for (kid = firstChild; kid != null; kid = kid.nextSibling) {
         kid.normalize();
    }
    isNormalized(true);
}

It traverses all the nodes recursively and calls kid.normalize()
This mechanism is overridden in org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl

public void normalize() {
     // No need to normalize if already normalized.
     if (isNormalized()) {
         return;
     }
     if (needsSyncChildren()) {
         synchronizeChildren();
     }
     ChildNode kid, next;
     for (kid = firstChild; kid != null; kid = next) {
         next = kid.nextSibling;

         // If kid is a text node, we need to check for one of two
         // conditions:
         //   1) There is an adjacent text node
         //   2) There is no adjacent text node, but kid is
         //      an empty text node.
         if ( kid.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE )
         {
             // If an adjacent text node, merge it with kid
             if ( next!=null && next.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE )
             {
                 ((Text)kid).appendData(next.getNodeValue());
                 removeChild( next );
                 next = kid; // Don't advance; there might be another.
             }
             else
             {
                 // If kid is empty, remove it
                 if ( kid.getNodeValue() == null || kid.getNodeValue().length() == 0 ) {
                     removeChild( kid );
                 }
             }
         }

         // Otherwise it might be an Element, which is handled recursively
         else if (kid.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
             kid.normalize();
         }
     }

     // We must also normalize all of the attributes
     if ( attributes!=null )
     {
         for( int i=0; i<attributes.getLength(); ++i )
         {
             Node attr = attributes.item(i);
             attr.normalize();
         }
     }

    // changed() will have occurred when the removeChild() was done,
    // so does not have to be reissued.

     isNormalized(true);
 } 

Hope this saves you some time.

How to access Spring MVC model object in javascript file?

JavaScript is run on the client side. Your model does not exist on the client side, it only exists on the server side while you are rendering your .jsp.

If you want data from the model to be available to client side code (ie. javascript), you will need to store it somewhere in the rendered page. For example, you can use your Jsp to write JavaScript assigning your model to JavaScript variables.

Update:

A simple example

<%-- SomeJsp.jsp --%>
<script>var paramOne =<c:out value="${paramOne}"/></script>

How to filter an array of objects based on values in an inner array with jq?

Very close! In your select expression, you have to use a pipe (|) before contains.

This filter produces the expected output.

. - map(select(.Names[] | contains ("data"))) | .[] .Id

The jq Cookbook has an example of the syntax.

Filter objects based on the contents of a key

E.g., I only want objects whose genre key contains "house".

$ json='[{"genre":"deep house"}, {"genre": "progressive house"}, {"genre": "dubstep"}]'
$ echo "$json" | jq -c '.[] | select(.genre | contains("house"))'
{"genre":"deep house"}
{"genre":"progressive house"}

Colin D asks how to preserve the JSON structure of the array, so that the final output is a single JSON array rather than a stream of JSON objects.

The simplest way is to wrap the whole expression in an array constructor:

$ echo "$json" | jq -c '[ .[] | select( .genre | contains("house")) ]'
[{"genre":"deep house"},{"genre":"progressive house"}]

You can also use the map function:

$ echo "$json" | jq -c 'map(select(.genre | contains("house")))'
[{"genre":"deep house"},{"genre":"progressive house"}]

map unpacks the input array, applies the filter to every element, and creates a new array. In other words, map(f) is equivalent to [.[]|f].

TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

This problem commonly occurs when switching from py2 to py3. In py2 plaintext is both a string and a byte array type. In py3 plaintext is only a string, and the method outfile.write() actually takes a byte array when outfile is opened in binary mode, so an exception is raised. Change the input to plaintext.encode('utf-8') to fix the problem. Read on if this bothers you.

In py2, the declaration for file.write made it seem like you passed in a string: file.write(str). Actually you were passing in a byte array, you should have been reading the declaration like this: file.write(bytes). If you read it like this the problem is simple, file.write(bytes) needs a bytes type and in py3 to get bytes out of a str you convert it:

py3>> outfile.write(plaintext.encode('utf-8'))

Why did the py2 docs declare file.write took a string? Well in py2 the declaration distinction didn't matter because:

py2>> str==bytes         #str and bytes aliased a single hybrid class in py2
True

The str-bytes class of py2 has methods/constructors that make it behave like a string class in some ways and a byte array class in others. Convenient for file.write isn't it?:

py2>> plaintext='my string literal'
py2>> type(plaintext)
str                              #is it a string or is it a byte array? it's both!

py2>> outfile.write(plaintext)   #can use plaintext as a byte array

Why did py3 break this nice system? Well because in py2 basic string functions didn't work for the rest of the world. Measure the length of a word with a non-ASCII character?

py2>> len('¡no')        #length of string=3, length of UTF-8 byte array=4, since with variable len encoding the non-ASCII chars = 2-6 bytes
4                       #always gives bytes.len not str.len

All this time you thought you were asking for the len of a string in py2, you were getting the length of the byte array from the encoding. That ambiguity is the fundamental problem with double-duty classes. Which version of any method call do you implement?

The good news then is that py3 fixes this problem. It disentangles the str and bytes classes. The str class has string-like methods, the separate bytes class has byte array methods:

py3>> len('¡ok')       #string
3
py3>> len('¡ok'.encode('utf-8'))     #bytes
4

Hopefully knowing this helps de-mystify the issue, and makes the migration pain a little easier to bear.

How to return a resolved promise from an AngularJS Service using $q?

To return a resolved promise, you can use:

return $q.defer().resolve();

If you need to resolve something or return data:

return $q.defer().resolve(function(){

    var data;
    return data;

});

The import com.google.android.gms cannot be resolved

I too had the same issue. Got it resolved by compiling with the latest sdk tool versions.(Play services,build tools etc). Sample build.gradle is shown below for reference.

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'


android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.abc.bcd"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'

how to add key value pair in the JSON object already declared

Could you do the following:

obj = {
    "1":"aa",
    "2":"bb"
};


var newNum = "3";
var newVal = "cc";


obj[newNum] = newVal;



alert(obj["3"]); // this would alert 'cc'

Oracle SQL, concatenate multiple columns + add text

Try this:

SELECT 'I like ' || type_column_name || ' cake with ' || 
icing_column_name || ' and a ' fruit_column_name || '.' 
AS Cake_Column FROM your_table_name;

It should concatenate all that data as a single column entry named "Cake_Column".

How to empty a char array?

How to convert an NSString into an NSNumber

For strings starting with integers, e.g., @"123", @"456 ft", @"7.89", etc., use -[NSString integerValue].

So, @([@"12.8 lbs" integerValue]) is like doing [NSNumber numberWithInteger:12].

Apply function to each column in a data frame observing each columns existing data type

The best way to do this is avoid base *apply functions, which coerces the entire data frame to an array, possibly losing information.

If you wanted to apply a function as.numeric to every column, a simple way is using mutate_all from dplyr:

t %>% mutate_all(as.numeric)

Alternatively use colwise from plyr, which will "turn a function that operates on a vector into a function that operates column-wise on a data.frame."

t %>% (colwise(as.numeric))

In the special case of reading in a data table of character vectors and coercing columns into the correct data type, use type.convert or type_convert from readr.


Less interesting answer: we can apply on each column with a for-loop:

for (i in 1:nrow(t)) { t[, i] <- parse_guess(t[, i]) }

I don't know of a good way of doing assignment with *apply while preserving data frame structure.

find if an integer exists in a list of integers

If you just need a true/false result

bool isInList = intList.IndexOf(intVariable) != -1;

if the intVariable does not exist in the List it will return -1

POST string to ASP.NET Web Api application - returns null

Web API works very nicely if you accept the fact that you are using HTTP. It's when you start trying to pretend that you are sending objects over the wire that it starts to get messy.

 public class TextController : ApiController
    {
        public HttpResponseMessage Post(HttpRequestMessage request) {

            var someText = request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
            return new HttpResponseMessage() {Content = new StringContent(someText)};

        }

    }

This controller will handle a HTTP request, read a string out of the payload and return that string back.

You can use HttpClient to call it by passing an instance of StringContent. StringContent will be default use text/plain as the media type. Which is exactly what you are trying to pass.

    [Fact]
    public void PostAString()
    {

        var client = new HttpClient();

        var content = new StringContent("Some text");
        var response = client.PostAsync("http://oak:9999/api/text", content).Result;

        Assert.Equal("Some text",response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);

    }

How do I execute a MS SQL Server stored procedure in java/jsp, returning table data?

Thank to Brian for the code. I was trying to connect to the sql server with {call spname(?,?)} and I got errors, but when I change my code to exec sp... it works very well.

I post my code in hope this helps others with problems like mine:

ResultSet rs = null;
PreparedStatement cs=null;
Connection conn=getJNDIConnection();

try {
    cs=conn.prepareStatement("exec sp_name ?,?,?,?,?,?,?");
    cs.setEscapeProcessing(true);
    cs.setQueryTimeout(90);

    cs.setString(1, "valueA");

    cs.setString(2, "valueB");

    cs.setString(3, "0418");

    //commented, because no need to register parameters out!, I got results from the resultset. 
    //cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.VARCHAR);
    //cs.registerOutParameter(2, Types.VARCHAR);

    rs = cs.executeQuery();
    ArrayList<ObjectX> listaObjectX = new ArrayList<ObjectX>();
    while (rs.next()) {

        ObjectX to = new ObjectX();
        to.setFecha(rs.getString(1));
        to.setRefId(rs.getString(2));
        to.setRefNombre(rs.getString(3));
        to.setUrl(rs.getString(4));

        listaObjectX.add(to);

    }
    return listaObjectX;
     } catch (SQLException se) {
        System.out.println("Error al ejecutar SQL"+ se.getMessage());
        se.printStackTrace();
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Error al ejecutar SQL: " + se.getMessage());

    } finally {

        try {

            rs.close();
            cs.close();
          con.close();

        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

How to resolve Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source in linq?

When you call a Linq statement like this:

// x = new List<string>();
var count = x.Count(s => s.StartsWith("x"));

You are actually using an extension method in the System.Linq namespace, so what the compiler translates this into is:

var count = Enumerable.Count(x, s => s.StartsWith("x"));

So the error you are getting above is because the first parameter, source (which would be x in the sample above) is null.

How to get process ID of background process?

An even simpler way to kill all child process of a bash script:

pkill -P $$

The -P flag works the same way with pkill and pgrep - it gets child processes, only with pkill the child processes get killed and with pgrep child PIDs are printed to stdout.

How to read large text file on windows?

I have been using the BareTail for quite some time for viewing large logs (some GBs) and it is working very well is very fast. There is a free version and a commercial Pro version.

They say that it has

  • Real-time file
  • Optimised real-time viewing engine View files of any size (> 2GB)
  • Scroll to any point in the whole file instantly
  • View files over a network
  • Configurable line wrapping
  • Configurable TAB expansion
  • Configurable font, including spacing and offset to maximise use of screen space

Another alternative is Far Manager. Viewing a several GBs file is no problem (little memory footprint), but attempting to open the text file in the Editing mode might take several GBs of RAM, so be aware of that. I am not aware of the file size limit that can be viewed/edited in Far.

How can I add comments in MySQL?

Three types of commenting are supported

  1. Hash base single line commenting using #

    Select * from users ; # this will list users
    
    1. Double Dash commenting using --

    Select * from users ; -- this will list users

Note : Its important to have single white space just after --

3) Multi line commenting using /* */

Select * from users ; /* this will list users */

C# Clear Session

List of all unique characters in a string?

The simplest solution is probably:

In [10]: ''.join(set('aaabcabccd'))
Out[10]: 'acbd'

Note that this doesn't guarantee the order in which the letters appear in the output, even though the example might suggest otherwise.

You refer to the output as a "list". If a list is what you really want, replace ''.join with list:

In [1]: list(set('aaabcabccd'))
Out[1]: ['a', 'c', 'b', 'd']

As far as performance goes, worrying about it at this stage sounds like premature optimization.

A solution using modern-async's map():

The advantage of using that library is that you can control the concurrency using mapLimit() or mapSeries().

How to display pdf in php

There are quite a few options that can be used: (both tested).

Here are two ways.

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=filename.pdf");
@readfile('path\to\filename.pdf');

or: (note the escaped double-quotes). The same need to be use when assigning a name to it.

<?php

echo "<iframe src=\"file.pdf\" width=\"100%\" style=\"height:100%\"></iframe>";

?>

I.e.: name="myiframe" id="myiframe"

would need to be changed to:

name=\"myiframe\" id=\"myiframe\" inside PHP.

Be sure to have a look at: this answer on SO for more options on the subject.

How to pass boolean parameter value in pipeline to downstream jobs?

like Jesse Jesse Glick and abguy said you can enumerate string into Boolean type:

Boolean.valueOf(string_variable)

or the opposite Boolean into string:

String.valueOf(boolean_variable)

in my case I had to to downstream Boolean parameter to another job. So for this you will need the use the class BooleanParameterValue :

build job: 'downstream_job_name', parameters:
[
[$class: 'BooleanParameterValue', name: 'parameter_name', value: false],
], wait: true

Shell script to get the process ID on Linux

If you are going to use ps and grep then you should do it this way:

ps aux|grep r[u]by

Those square brackets will cause grep to skip the line for the grep command itself. So to use this in a script do:

output=`ps aux|grep r\[u\]by`
set -- $output
pid=$2
kill $pid
sleep 2
kill -9 $pid >/dev/null 2>&1

The backticks allow you to capture the output of a comand in a shell variable. The set -- parses the ps output into words, and $2 is the second word on the line which happens to be the pid. Then you send a TERM signal, wait a couple of seconds for ruby to to shut itself down, then kill it mercilessly if it still exists, but throw away any output because most of the time kill -9 will complain that the process is already dead.

I know that I have used this without the backslashes before the square brackets but just now I checked it on Ubuntu 12 and it seems to require them. This probably has something to do with bash's many options and the default config on different Linux distros. Hopefully the [ and ] will work anywhere but I no longer have access to the servers where I know that it worked without backslash so I cannot be sure.

One comment suggests grep-v and that is what I used to do, but then when I learned of the [] variant, I decided it was better to spawn one fewer process in the pipeline.

Sharing a variable between multiple different threads

You can use lock variables "a" and "b" and synchronize them for locking the "critical section" in reverse order. Eg. Notify "a" then Lock "b" ,"PRINT", Notify "b" then Lock "a".

Please refer the below the code :

public class EvenOdd {

    static int a = 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        EvenOdd eo = new EvenOdd();

        A aobj = eo.new A();
        B bobj = eo.new B();

        aobj.a = Lock.lock1;
        aobj.b = Lock.lock2;

        bobj.a = Lock.lock2;
        bobj.b = Lock.lock1;

        Thread t1 = new Thread(aobj);
        Thread t2 = new Thread(bobj);

        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }

    static class Lock {
        final static Object lock1 = new Object();
        final static Object lock2 = new Object();
    }

    class A implements Runnable {

        Object a;
        Object b;

        public void run() {
            while (EvenOdd.a < 10) {
                try {
                    System.out.println(++EvenOdd.a + " A ");
                    synchronized (a) {
                        a.notify();
                    }
                    synchronized (b) {
                        b.wait();
                    }
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    class B implements Runnable {

        Object a;
        Object b;

        public void run() {
            while (EvenOdd.a < 10) {

                try {
                    synchronized (b) {
                        b.wait();
                        System.out.println(++EvenOdd.a + " B ");
                    }
                    synchronized (a) {
                        a.notify();
                    }
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

OUTPUT :

1 A 
2 B 
3 A 
4 B 
5 A 
6 B 
7 A 
8 B 
9 A 
10 B

WebSockets protocol vs HTTP

1) Why is the WebSockets protocol better?

WebSockets is better for situations that involve low-latency communication especially for low latency for client to server messages. For server to client data you can get fairly low latency using long-held connections and chunked transfer. However, this doesn't help with client to server latency which requires a new connection to be established for each client to server message.

Your 48 byte HTTP handshake is not realistic for real-world HTTP browser connections where there is often several kilobytes of data sent as part of the request (in both directions) including many headers and cookie data. Here is an example of a request/response to using Chrome:

Example request (2800 bytes including cookie data, 490 bytes without cookie data):

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.cnn.com
Connection: keep-alive

Both HTTP and WebSockets have equivalent sized initial connection handshakes, but with a WebSocket connection the initial handshake is performed once and then small messages only have 6 bytes of overhead (2 for the header and 4 for the mask value). The latency overhead is not so much from the size of the headers, but from the logic to parse/handle/store those headers. In addition, the TCP connection setup latency is probably a bigger factor than the size or processing time for each request.

2) Why was it implemented instead of updating HTTP protocol?

There are efforts to re-engineer the HTTP protocol to achieve better performance and lower latency such as SPDY, HTTP 2.0 and QUIC. This will improve the situation for normal HTTP requests, but it is likely that WebSockets and/or WebRTC DataChannel will still have lower latency for client to server data transfer than HTTP protocol (or it will be used in a mode that looks a lot like WebSockets anyways).

Update:

Here is a framework for thinking about web protocols:

  • TCP: low-level, bi-directional, full-duplex, and guaranteed order transport layer. No browser support (except via plugin/Flash).
  • HTTP 1.0: request-response transport protocol layered on TCP. The client makes one full request, the server gives one full response, and then the connection is closed. The request methods (GET, POST, HEAD) have specific transactional meaning for resources on the server.
  • HTTP 1.1: maintains the request-response nature of HTTP 1.0, but allows the connection to stay open for multiple full requests/full responses (one response per request). Still has full headers in the request and response but the connection is re-used and not closed. HTTP 1.1 also added some additional request methods (OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, CONNECT) which also have specific transactional meanings. However, as noted in the introduction to the HTTP 2.0 draft proposal, HTTP 1.1 pipelining is not widely deployed so this greatly limits the utility of HTTP 1.1 to solve latency between browsers and servers.
  • Long-poll: sort of a "hack" to HTTP (either 1.0 or 1.1) where the server does not respond immediately (or only responds partially with headers) to the client request. After a server response, the client immediately sends a new request (using the same connection if over HTTP 1.1).
  • HTTP streaming: a variety of techniques (multipart/chunked response) that allow the server to send more than one response to a single client request. The W3C is standardizing this as Server-Sent Events using a text/event-stream MIME type. The browser API (which is fairly similar to the WebSocket API) is called the EventSource API.
  • Comet/server push: this is an umbrella term that includes both long-poll and HTTP streaming. Comet libraries usually support multiple techniques to try and maximize cross-browser and cross-server support.
  • WebSockets: a transport layer built-on TCP that uses an HTTP friendly Upgrade handshake. Unlike TCP, which is a streaming transport, WebSockets is a message based transport: messages are delimited on the wire and are re-assembled in-full before delivery to the application. WebSocket connections are bi-directional, full-duplex and long-lived. After the initial handshake request/response, there is no transactional semantics and there is very little per message overhead. The client and server may send messages at any time and must handle message receipt asynchronously.
  • SPDY: a Google initiated proposal to extend HTTP using a more efficient wire protocol but maintaining all HTTP semantics (request/response, cookies, encoding). SPDY introduces a new framing format (with length-prefixed frames) and specifies a way to layering HTTP request/response pairs onto the new framing layer. Headers can be compressed and new headers can be sent after the connection has been established. There are real world implementations of SPDY in browsers and servers.
  • HTTP 2.0: has similar goals to SPDY: reduce HTTP latency and overhead while preserving HTTP semantics. The current draft is derived from SPDY and defines an upgrade handshake and data framing that is very similar the the WebSocket standard for handshake and framing. An alternate HTTP 2.0 draft proposal (httpbis-speed-mobility) actually uses WebSockets for the transport layer and adds the SPDY multiplexing and HTTP mapping as an WebSocket extension (WebSocket extensions are negotiated during the handshake).
  • WebRTC/CU-WebRTC: proposals to allow peer-to-peer connectivity between browsers. This may enable lower average and maximum latency communication because as the underlying transport is SDP/datagram rather than TCP. This allows out-of-order delivery of packets/messages which avoids the TCP issue of latency spikes caused by dropped packets which delay delivery of all subsequent packets (to guarantee in-order delivery).
  • QUIC: is an experimental protocol aimed at reducing web latency over that of TCP. On the surface, QUIC is very similar to TCP+TLS+SPDY implemented on UDP. QUIC provides multiplexing and flow control equivalent to HTTP/2, security equivalent to TLS, and connection semantics, reliability, and congestion control equivalentto TCP. Because TCP is implemented in operating system kernels, and middlebox firmware, making significant changes to TCP is next to impossible. However, since QUIC is built on top of UDP, it suffers from no such limitations. QUIC is designed and optimised for HTTP/2 semantics.

I need to learn Web Services in Java. What are the different types in it?

The SOAP WS supports both remote procedure call (i.e. RPC) and message oriented middle-ware (MOM) integration styles. The Restful Web Service supports only RPC integration style.

The SOAP WS is transport protocol neutral. Supports multiple protocols like HTTP(S), Messaging, TCP, UDP SMTP, etc. The REST is transport protocol specific. Supports only HTTP or HTTPS protocols.

The SOAP WS permits only XML data format.You define operations, which tunnels through the POST. The focus is on accessing the named operations and exposing the application logic as a service. The REST permits multiple data formats like XML, JSON data, text, HTML, etc. Any browser can be used because the REST approach uses the standard GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE Web operations. The focus is on accessing the named resources and exposing the data as a service. REST has AJAX support. It can use the XMLHttpRequest object. Good for stateless CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations. GET - represent() POST - acceptRepresention() PUT - storeRepresention() DELETE - removeRepresention()

SOAP based reads cannot be cached. REST based reads can be cached. Performs and scales better. SOAP WS supports both SSL security and WS-security, which adds some enterprise security features like maintaining security right up to the point where it is needed, maintaining identities through intermediaries and not just point to point SSL only, securing different parts of the message with different security algorithms, etc. The REST supports only point-to-point SSL security. The SSL encrypts the whole message, whether all of it is sensitive or not. The SOAP has comprehensive support for both ACID based transaction management for short-lived transactions and compensation based transaction management for long-running transactions. It also supports two-phase commit across distributed resources. The REST supports transactions, but it is neither ACID compliant nor can provide two phase commit across distributed transactional resources as it is limited by its HTTP protocol.

The SOAP has success or retry logic built in and provides end-to-end reliability even through SOAP intermediaries. REST does not have a standard messaging system, and expects clients invoking the service to deal with communication failures by retrying.

How to make a JSONP request from Javascript without JQuery?

I have a pure javascript library to do that https://github.com/robertodecurnex/J50Npi/blob/master/J50Npi.js

Take a look at it and let me know if you need any help using or understanding the code.

Btw, you have simple usage example here: http://robertodecurnex.github.com/J50Npi/

How to return a value from pthread threads in C?

You are returning the address of a local variable, which no longer exists when the thread function exits. In any case, why call pthread_exit? why not simply return a value from the thread function?

void *myThread()
{
   return (void *) 42;
}

and then in main:

printf("%d\n",(int)status);   

If you need to return a complicated value such a structure, it's probably easiest to allocate it dynamically via malloc() and return a pointer. Of course, the code that initiated the thread will then be responsible for freeing the memory.

Java Error opening registry key

On Windows 10 I had just installed the JDK, and got these errors when checking the version. I had to delete all executable files starting with java (i.e. java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe) from C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath. And then, once deleted, re-run the JDK installer, restart my terminal program and java -v works.

What does cmd /C mean?

The part you should be interested in is the /? part, which should solve most other questions you have with the tool.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Determine if running on a rooted device

Further to @Kevins answer, I've recently found while using his system, that the Nexus 7.1 was returning false for all three methods - No which command, no test-keys and SuperSU was not installed in /system/app.

I added this:

public static boolean checkRootMethod4(Context context) {
    return isPackageInstalled("eu.chainfire.supersu", context);     
}

private static boolean isPackageInstalled(String packagename, Context context) {
    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
    try {
        pm.getPackageInfo(packagename, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
        return true;
    } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
        return false;
    }
}

This is slightly less useful in some situations (if you need guaranteed root access) as it's completely possible for SuperSU to be installed on devices which don't have SU access.

However, since it's possible to have SuperSU installed and working but not in the /system/app directory, this extra case will root (haha) out such cases.

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

Setting the default ssh key location

man ssh gives me this options would could be useful.

-i identity_file Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or DSA authentication is read. The default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for pro- tocol version 2. Identity files may also be specified on a per- host basis in the configuration file. It is possible to have multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in config- uration files).

So you could create an alias in your bash config with something like

alias ssh="ssh -i /path/to/private_key"

I haven't looked into a ssh configuration file, but like the -i option this too could be aliased

-F configfile Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file. If a configuration file is given on the command line, the system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) will be ignored. The default for the per-user configuration file is ~/.ssh/config.

Run a Java Application as a Service on Linux

Maybe not the best dev-ops solution, but good for the general use of a server for a lan party or similar.

Use screen to run your server in and then detach before logging out, this will keep the process running, you can then re-attach at any point.

Workflow:

Start a screen: screen

Start your server: java -jar minecraft-server.jar

Detach by pressing: Ctl-a, d

Re-attach: screen -r

More info here: https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html

C pointers and arrays: [Warning] assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

int[] and int* are represented the same way, except int[] allocates (IIRC).

ap is a pointer, therefore giving it the value of an integer is dangerous, as you have no idea what's at address 45.

when you try to access it (x = *ap), you try to access address 45, which causes the crash, as it probably is not a part of the memory you can access.

How to ssh connect through python Paramiko with ppk public key

For me I doing this:

import paramiko
hostname = 'my hostname or IP' 
myuser   = 'the user to ssh connect'
mySSHK   = '/path/to/sshkey.pub'
sshcon   = paramiko.SSHClient()  # will create the object
sshcon.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) # no known_hosts error
sshcon.connect(hostname, username=myuser, key_filename=mySSHK) # no passwd needed

works for me pretty ok

Google Maps Android API v2 Authorization failure

You need to use the library project located at: ANDROID-SDK-DIRECTORY/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject

This will fix your first issue.

I'm not sure about your second, but it may be a side effect of the first. I am still trying to get the map working in my own app :)

What does "|=" mean? (pipe equal operator)

I was looking for an answer on what |= does in Groovy and although answers above are right on they did not help me understand a particular piece of code I was looking at.

In particular, when applied to a boolean variable "|=" will set it to TRUE the first time it encounters a truthy expression on the right side and will HOLD its TRUE value for all |= subsequent calls. Like a latch.

Here a simplified example of this:

groovy> boolean result  
groovy> //------------ 
groovy> println result           //<-- False by default
groovy> println result |= false 
groovy> println result |= true   //<-- set to True and latched on to it
groovy> println result |= false 

Output:

false
false
true
true

Edit: Why is this useful?

Consider a situation where you want to know if anything has changed on a variety of objects and if so notify some one of the changes. So, you would setup a hasChanges boolean and set it to |= diff (a,b) and then |= dif(b,c) etc. Here is a brief example:

groovy> boolean hasChanges, a, b, c, d 
groovy> diff = {x,y -> x!=y}  
groovy> hasChanges |= diff(a,b) 
groovy> hasChanges |= diff(b,c) 
groovy> hasChanges |= diff(true,false) 
groovy> hasChanges |= diff(c,d) 
groovy> hasChanges 

Result: true

PHP display image BLOB from MySQL

how to remove json object key and value.?

There are several ways to do this, lets see them one by one:

  1. delete method: The most common way

_x000D_
_x000D_
const myObject = {_x000D_
    "employeeid": "160915848",_x000D_
    "firstName": "tet",_x000D_
    "lastName": "test",_x000D_
    "email": "[email protected]",_x000D_
    "country": "Brasil",_x000D_
    "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",_x000D_
    "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",_x000D_
    "currentOrganization": "test",_x000D_
    "salary": "1234567"_x000D_
};_x000D_
_x000D_
delete myObject['currentIndustry'];_x000D_
// OR delete myObject.currentIndustry;_x000D_
  _x000D_
console.log(myObject);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

  1. By making key value undefined: Alternate & a faster way:

_x000D_
_x000D_
let myObject = {_x000D_
    "employeeid": "160915848",_x000D_
    "firstName": "tet",_x000D_
    "lastName": "test",_x000D_
    "email": "[email protected]",_x000D_
    "country": "Brasil",_x000D_
    "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",_x000D_
    "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",_x000D_
    "currentOrganization": "test",_x000D_
    "salary": "1234567"_x000D_
  };_x000D_
_x000D_
myObject.currentIndustry = undefined;_x000D_
myObject = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(myObject));_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(myObject);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

  1. With es6 spread Operator:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const myObject = {_x000D_
    "employeeid": "160915848",_x000D_
    "firstName": "tet",_x000D_
    "lastName": "test",_x000D_
    "email": "[email protected]",_x000D_
    "country": "Brasil",_x000D_
    "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",_x000D_
    "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",_x000D_
    "currentOrganization": "test",_x000D_
    "salary": "1234567"_x000D_
};_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
const {currentIndustry, ...filteredObject} = myObject;_x000D_
console.log(filteredObject);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Or if you can use omit() of underscore js library:

const filteredObject = _.omit(currentIndustry, 'myObject');
console.log(filteredObject);

When to use what??

If you don't wanna create a new filtered object, simply go for either option 1 or 2. Make sure you define your object with let while going with the second option as we are overriding the values. Or else you can use any of them.

hope this helps :)

ASP.net using a form to insert data into an sql server table

Simple, make a simple asp page with the designer (just for the beginning) Lets say the body is something like this:

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    <p>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
    </p>
    </form>
</body>

Great, now every asp object IS an object. So you can access it in the asp's CS code. The asp's CS code is triggered by events (mostly). The class will probably inherit from System.Web.UI.Page

If you go to the cs file of the asp page, you'll see a protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) ... That's the load event, you can use that to populate data into your objects when the page loads.

Now, go to the button in your designer (Button1) and look at its properties, you can design it, or add events from there. Just change to the events view, and create a method for the event.

The button is a web control Button Add a Click event to the button call it Button1Click:

void Button1Click(Object sender,EventArgs e) { }

Now when you click the button, this method will be called. Because ASP is object oriented, you can think of the page as the actual class, and the objects will hold the actual current data.

So if for example you want to access the text in TextBox1 you just need to call that object in the C# code:

String firstBox = TextBox1.Text;

In the same way you can populate the objects when event occur.

Now that you have the data the user posted in the textboxes , you can use regular C# SQL connections to add the data to your database.

What is the difference between Sprint and Iteration in Scrum and length of each Sprint?

  1. Sprint is just the term for an iteration.
  2. You can change the Sprint length to be anything you want, but likely you'll want to try to find an amount of time that "works well" (which may mean any number of things for your team) and end up sticking with it over time.

CSS: Creating textured backgrounds

Use an image editor to cut out a portion of the background, then apply CSS's background-repeat property to make the small image fill the area where it is used.

In some cases, background-repeat creates seams where the image repeats. A solution is to use an image editor as follows: starting with the background image, copy the image, flip (mirror, not rotate) the copy left-to-right, and paste it to the right edge of the original, overlapping 1 pixel. Crop to remove 1 pixel from the right edge of the combined image. Now repeat for the vertical: copy the combined image, flip the copy top-to-bottom, paste it to the bottom of the combined, overlapping one pixel. Crop to remove 1 pixel from the bottom. The resulting image should be seam-free.

DROP USER username;

The user may have privileges in other schemas, in which case you will have to run the appropriate REVOKE line with "public" replaced by the correct schema. To show all of the schemas and privilege types for a user, I edited the \dp command to make this query:

SELECT 
  n.nspname as "Schema",
  CASE c.relkind 
    WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' 
    WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' 
    WHEN 'm' THEN 'materialized view' 
    WHEN 'S' THEN 'sequence' 
    WHEN 'f' THEN 'foreign table' 
  END as "Type"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE pg_catalog.array_to_string(c.relacl, E'\n') LIKE '%username%';

I'm not sure which privilege types correspond to revoking on TABLES, SEQUENCES, or FUNCTIONS, but I think all of them fall under one of the three.

Auto refresh page every 30 seconds

Just a simple line of code in the head section can refresh the page

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

although its not a javascript function, its the simplest way to accomplish the above task hopefully.

Start thread with member function

#include <thread>
#include <iostream>

class bar {
public:
  void foo() {
    std::cout << "hello from member function" << std::endl;
  }
};

int main()
{
  std::thread t(&bar::foo, bar());
  t.join();
}

EDIT: Accounting your edit, you have to do it like this:

  std::thread spawn() {
    return std::thread(&blub::test, this);
  }

UPDATE: I want to explain some more points, some of them have also been discussed in the comments.

The syntax described above is defined in terms of the INVOKE definition (§20.8.2.1):

Define INVOKE (f, t1, t2, ..., tN) as follows:

  • (t1.*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to a member function of a class T and t1 is an object of type T or a reference to an object of type T or a reference to an object of a type derived from T;
  • ((*t1).*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to a member function of a class T and t1 is not one of the types described in the previous item;
  • t1.*f when N == 1 and f is a pointer to member data of a class T and t 1 is an object of type T or a
    reference to an object of type T or a reference to an object of a
    type derived from T;
  • (*t1).*f when N == 1 and f is a pointer to member data of a class T and t 1 is not one of the types described in the previous item;
  • f(t1, t2, ..., tN) in all other cases.

Another general fact which I want to point out is that by default the thread constructor will copy all arguments passed to it. The reason for this is that the arguments may need to outlive the calling thread, copying the arguments guarantees that. Instead, if you want to really pass a reference, you can use a std::reference_wrapper created by std::ref.

std::thread (foo, std::ref(arg1));

By doing this, you are promising that you will take care of guaranteeing that the arguments will still exist when the thread operates on them.


Note that all the things mentioned above can also be applied to std::async and std::bind.

Node Sass couldn't find a binding for your current environment

npm rebuild node-sass --force

Or, if you are using node-sass within a container:

docker exec <container-id> npm rebuild node-sass --force

This error occurs when node-sass does not have the correct binding for the current operating system.

If you use Docker, this error usually happens when you add node_modules directly to the container filesystem in your Dockerfile (or mount them using a Docker volume).

The container architecture is probably different than your current operating system. For example, I installed node-sass on macOS but my container runs Ubuntu.

If you force node-sass to rebuild from within the container, node-sass will download the correct bindings for the container operating system.

JavaScript/jQuery - How to check if a string contain specific words

In javascript the includes() method can be used to determines whether a string contains particular word (or characters at specified position). Its case sensitive.

var str = "Hello there."; 

var check1 = str.includes("there"); //true
var check2 = str.includes("There"); //false, the method is case sensitive
var check3 = str.includes("her");   //true
var check4 = str.includes("o",4);   //true, o is at position 4 (start at 0)
var check5 = str.includes("o",6);   //false o is not at position 6

Test whether string is a valid integer

or with sed:

   test -z $(echo "2000" | sed s/[0-9]//g) && echo "integer" || echo "no integer"
   # integer

   test -z $(echo "ab12" | sed s/[0-9]//g) && echo "integer" || echo "no integer"
   # no integer

Strings as Primary Keys in SQL Database

Yes, but unless you expect to have millions of rows, not using a string-based key because it's slower is usually "premature optimization." After all, strings are stored as big numbers while numeric keys are usually stored as smaller numbers.

One thing to watch out for, though, is if you have clustered indices on a any key and are doing large numbers of inserts that are non-sequential in the index. Every line written will cause the index to re-write. if you're doing batch inserts, this can really slow the process down.

Getting value from table cell in JavaScript...not jQuery

Have you tried innerHTML?

I'd be inclined to use getElementsByTagName() to find the <tr> elements, and then on each to call it again to find the <td> elements. To get the contents, you can either use innerHTML or the appropriate (browser-specific) variation on innerText.

How to change MySQL timezone in a database connection using Java?

useTimezone is an older workaround. MySQL team rewrote the setTimestamp/getTimestamp code fairly recently, but it will only be enabled if you set the connection parameter useLegacyDatetimeCode=false and you're using the latest version of mysql JDBC connector. So for example:

String url =
 "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false

If you download the mysql-connector source code and look at setTimestamp, it's very easy to see what's happening:

If use legacy date time code = false, newSetTimestampInternal(...) is called. Then, if the Calendar passed to newSetTimestampInternal is NULL, your date object is formatted in the database's time zone:

this.tsdf = new SimpleDateFormat("''yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.US);
this.tsdf.setTimeZone(this.connection.getServerTimezoneTZ());
timestampString = this.tsdf.format(x);

It's very important that Calendar is null - so make sure you're using:

setTimestamp(int,Timestamp).

... NOT setTimestamp(int,Timestamp,Calendar).

It should be obvious now how this works. If you construct a date: January 5, 2011 3:00 AM in America/Los_Angeles (or whatever time zone you want) using java.util.Calendar and call setTimestamp(1, myDate), then it will take your date, use SimpleDateFormat to format it in the database time zone. So if your DB is in America/New_York, it will construct the String '2011-01-05 6:00:00' to be inserted (since NY is ahead of LA by 3 hours).

To retrieve the date, use getTimestamp(int) (without the Calendar). Once again it will use the database time zone to build a date.

Note: The webserver time zone is completely irrelevant now! If you don't set useLegacyDatetimecode to false, the webserver time zone is used for formatting - adding lots of confusion.


Note:

It's possible MySQL my complain that the server time zone is ambiguous. For example, if your database is set to use EST, there might be several possible EST time zones in Java, so you can clarify this for mysql-connector by telling it exactly what the database time zone is:

String url =
 "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=America/New_York";

You only need to do this if it complains.

Viewing contents of a .jar file

Your IDE should also support this. My IDE (SlickeEdit) calls it a "tag library." Simply add a tag library for the jar file, and you should be able to browse the classes and methods in a hierarchical manner.

Div Height in Percentage

It doesn't take the 50% of the whole page is because the "whole page" is only how tall your contents are. Change the enclosing html and body to 100% height and it will work.

html, body{
    height: 100%;
}
div{
    height: 50%;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/5YukJ/1/

enter image description here

^ Your document is only 20px high. 50% of 20px is 10px, and it is not what you expected.

enter image description here

^ Now if you change the height of the document to the height of the whole page (150px), 50% of 150px is 75px, then it will work.

The above logic should be what you are looking for.

How to search a list of tuples in Python

tl;dr

A generator expression is probably the most performant and simple solution to your problem:

l = [(1,"juca"),(22,"james"),(53,"xuxa"),(44,"delicia")]

result = next((i for i, v in enumerate(l) if v[0] == 53), None)
# 2

Explanation

There are several answers that provide a simple solution to this question with list comprehensions. While these answers are perfectly correct, they are not optimal. Depending on your use case, there may be significant benefits to making a few simple modifications.

The main problem I see with using a list comprehension for this use case is that the entire list will be processed, although you only want to find 1 element.

Python provides a simple construct which is ideal here. It is called the generator expression. Here is an example:

# Our input list, same as before
l = [(1,"juca"),(22,"james"),(53,"xuxa"),(44,"delicia")]

# Call next on our generator expression.
next((i for i, v in enumerate(l) if v[0] == 53), None)

We can expect this method to perform basically the same as list comprehensions in our trivial example, but what if we're working with a larger data set? That's where the advantage of using the generator method comes into play. Rather than constructing a new list, we'll use your existing list as our iterable, and use next() to get the first item from our generator.

Lets look at how these methods perform differently on some larger data sets. These are large lists, made of 10000000 + 1 elements, with our target at the beginning (best) or end (worst). We can verify that both of these lists will perform equally using the following list comprehension:

List comprehensions

"Worst case"

worst_case = ([(False, 'F')] * 10000000) + [(True, 'T')]
print [i for i, v in enumerate(worst_case) if v[0] is True]

# [10000000]
#          2 function calls in 3.885 seconds
#
#    Ordered by: standard name
#
#    ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
#         1    3.885    3.885    3.885    3.885 so_lc.py:1(<module>)
#         1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {method 'disable' of '_lsprof.Profiler' objects}

"Best case"

best_case = [(True, 'T')] + ([(False, 'F')] * 10000000)
print [i for i, v in enumerate(best_case) if v[0] is True]

# [0]
#          2 function calls in 3.864 seconds
#
#    Ordered by: standard name
#
#    ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
#         1    3.864    3.864    3.864    3.864 so_lc.py:1(<module>)
#         1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {method 'disable' of '_lsprof.Profiler' objects}

Generator expressions

Here's my hypothesis for generators: we'll see that generators will significantly perform better in the best case, but similarly in the worst case. This performance gain is mostly due to the fact that the generator is evaluated lazily, meaning it will only compute what is required to yield a value.

Worst case

# 10000000
#          5 function calls in 1.733 seconds
#
#    Ordered by: standard name
#
#    ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
#         2    1.455    0.727    1.455    0.727 so_lc.py:10(<genexpr>)
#         1    0.278    0.278    1.733    1.733 so_lc.py:9(<module>)
#         1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {method 'disable' of '_lsprof.Profiler' objects}
#         1    0.000    0.000    1.455    1.455 {next}

Best case

best_case  = [(True, 'T')] + ([(False, 'F')] * 10000000)
print next((i for i, v in enumerate(best_case) if v[0] == True), None)

# 0
#          5 function calls in 0.316 seconds
#
#    Ordered by: standard name
#
#    ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
#         1    0.316    0.316    0.316    0.316 so_lc.py:6(<module>)
#         2    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 so_lc.py:7(<genexpr>)
#         1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {method 'disable' of '_lsprof.Profiler' objects}
#         1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {next}

WHAT?! The best case blows away the list comprehensions, but I wasn't expecting the our worst case to outperform the list comprehensions to such an extent. How is that? Frankly, I could only speculate without further research.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, I have not run any robust profiling here, just some very basic testing. This should be sufficient to appreciate that a generator expression is more performant for this type of list searching.

Note that this is all basic, built-in python. We don't need to import anything or use any libraries.

I first saw this technique for searching in the Udacity cs212 course with Peter Norvig.

db.collection is not a function when using MongoClient v3.0

MongoClient.connect(url (err, client) => {
    if(err) throw err;

    let database = client.db('databaseName');

    database.collection('name').find()
    .toArray((err, results) => {
        if(err) throw err;

        results.forEach((value)=>{
            console.log(value.name);
        });
    })
})

The only problem with your code is that you are accessing the object that's holding the database handler. You must access the database directly (see database variable above). This code will return your database in an array and then it loops through it and logs the name for everyone in the database.
