Programs & Examples On #Zshrc

The .zshrc file is the configuration file for zsh.

commands not found on zsh

  1. Use a good text editor like VS Code and open your .zshrc file (should be in your home directory. if you don't see it, be sure to right-click in the file folder when opening and choose option to 'show hidden files').

  2. find where it states: export PATH=a-bunch-of-paths-separated-by-colons:

  3. insert this at the end of the line, before the end-quote: :$HOME/.local/bin

And it should work for you.

You can test if this will work first by typing this in your terminal first: export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

If the error disappears after you type this into the terminal and your terminal functions normally, the above solution will work. If it doesn't, you'll have to find the folder where your reference error is located (the thing not found), and replace the PATH above with the PATH-TO-THAT-FOLDER.

npm global path prefix

Any one got the same issue it's related to a conflict between brew and npm Please check this solution https://gist.github.com/DanHerbert/9520689

Compiling Java 7 code via Maven

I had the same problem. I found that this is because the Maven script looks at the CurrentJDK link below and finds a 1.6 JDK. Even if you install the latest JDK this is not resolved. While you could just set JAVA_HOME in your $HOME/.bash_profile script I chose to fix the symbolic link instead as follows:

ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
total 64
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 30 Oct 16:18 1.4 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 30 Oct 16:18 1.4.2 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 30 Oct 16:18 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 30 Oct 16:18 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 30 Oct 16:18 1.6 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 30 Oct 16:18 1.6.0 -> CurrentJDK
drwxr-xr-x  9 root  wheel  306 11 Nov 21:20 A
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    1 30 Oct 16:18 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   59 30 Oct 16:18 CurrentJDK -> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents

Notice that CurrentJDK points at 1.6.0.jdk

To fix it I ran the following commands (you should check your installed version and adapt accordingly).

sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK

Adding a new entry to the PATH variable in ZSH

OPTION 1: Add this line to ~/.zshrc:

export "PATH=$HOME/pear/bin:$PATH"

After that you need to run source ~/.zshrc in order your changes to take affect OR close this window and open a new one

OPTION 2: execute it inside the terminal console to add this path only to the current terminal window session. When you close the window/session, it will be lost.

Where to place $PATH variable assertions in zsh?

tl;dr version: use ~/.zshrc

And read the man page to understand the differences between:

~/.zshrc, ~/.zshenv and ~/.zprofile.


Regarding my comment

In my comment attached to the answer kev gave, I said:

This seems to be incorrect - /etc/profile isn't listed in any zsh documentation I can find.

This turns out to be partially incorrect: /etc/profile may be sourced by zsh. However, this only occurs if zsh is "invoked as sh or ksh"; in these compatibility modes:

The usual zsh startup/shutdown scripts are not executed. Login shells source /etc/profile followed by $HOME/.profile. If the ENV environment variable is set on invocation, $ENV is sourced after the profile scripts. The value of ENV is subjected to parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion before being interpreted as a pathname. [man zshall, "Compatibility"].

The ArchWiki ZSH link says:

At login, Zsh sources the following files in this order:
/etc/profile
This file is sourced by all Bourne-compatible shells upon login

This implys that /etc/profile is always read by zsh at login - I haven't got any experience with the Arch Linux project; the wiki may be correct for that distribution, but it is not generally correct. The information is incorrect compared to the zsh manual pages, and doesn't seem to apply to zsh on OS X (paths in $PATH set in /etc/profile do not make it to my zsh sessions).



To address the question:

where exactly should I be placing my rvm, python, node etc additions to my $PATH?

Generally, I would export my $PATH from ~/.zshrc, but it's worth having a read of the zshall man page, specifically the "STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES" section - ~/.zshrc is read for interactive shells, which may or may not suit your needs - if you want the $PATH for every zsh shell invoked by you (both interactive and not, both login and not, etc), then ~/.zshenv is a better option.

Is there a specific file I should be using (i.e. .zshenv which does not currently exist in my installation), one of the ones I am currently using, or does it even matter?

There's a bunch of files read on startup (check the linked man pages), and there's a reason for that - each file has it's particular place (settings for every user, settings for user-specific, settings for login shells, settings for every shell, etc).
Don't worry about ~/.zshenv not existing - if you need it, make it, and it will be read.

.bashrc and .bash_profile are not read by zsh, unless you explicitly source them from ~/.zshrc or similar; the syntax between bash and zsh is not always compatible. Both .bashrc and .bash_profile are designed for bash settings, not zsh settings.

generate random string for div id

Based on HTML 4, the id should start from letter:

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").

So, one of the solutions could be (alphanumeric):

  var length = 9;
  var prefix = 'my-awesome-prefix-'; // To be 100% sure id starts with letter

  // Convert it to base 36 (numbers + letters), and grab the first 9 characters
  // after the decimal.
  var id = prefix + Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, length);

Another solution - generate string with letters only:

  var length = 9;
  var id = Math.random().toString(36).replace(/[^a-z]+/g, '').substr(0, length);

.mp4 file not playing in chrome

This started out as an attempt to cast video from my pc to a tv (with subtitles) eventually using Chromecast. And I ended up in this "does not play mp4" situation. However I seemed to have proved that Chrome will play (exactly the same) mp4 as long as it isn't wrapped in html(5) So here is what I have constructed. I have made a webpage under localhost and in there is a default.htm which contains:-

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<video  controls >
 <source src="sample.mp4" type="video/mp4">
 <track kind="subtitles" src="sample.vtt" label="gcsubs" srclang="eng">
</video>
</body>
</html>

the video and subtitle files are stored in the same folder as default.htm

I have the very latest version of Chrome (just updated this morning)

When I type the appropriate localhost... into my Chrome browser a black square appears with a "GO" arrow and an elapsed time bar, a mute button and an icon which says "CC". If I hit the go arrow, nothing happens (it doesn't change to "pause", the elapsed time doesn't move, and the timer sticks at 0:00. There are no error messages - nothing!

(note that if I input localhost.. to IE11 the video plays!!!!

In Chrome if I enter the disc address of sample.mp4 (i.e. C:\webstore\sample.mp4 then Chrome will play the video fine?.

This last bit is probably a working solution for Chromecast except that I cannot see any subtitles. I really want a solution with working subtitles. I just don't understand what is different in Chrome between the two methods of playing mp4

How to remove all CSS classes using jQuery/JavaScript?

The shortest method

$('#item').removeAttr('class').attr('class', '');

Python list directory, subdirectory, and files

You can take a look at this sample I made. It uses the os.path.walk function which is deprecated beware.Uses a list to store all the filepaths

root = "Your root directory"
ex = ".txt"
where_to = "Wherever you wanna write your file to"
def fileWalker(ext,dirname,names):
    '''
    checks files in names'''
    pat = "*" + ext[0]
    for f in names:
        if fnmatch.fnmatch(f,pat):
            ext[1].append(os.path.join(dirname,f))


def writeTo(fList):

    with open(where_to,"w") as f:
        for di_r in fList:
            f.write(di_r + "\n")






if __name__ == '__main__':
    li = []
    os.path.walk(root,fileWalker,[ex,li])

    writeTo(li)

How to create an on/off switch with Javascript/CSS?

Using plain javascript

<html>

  <head>

     <!-- define on/off styles -->
     <style type="text/css">
      .on  { background:blue; }
      .off { background:red; }
     </style>

     <!-- define the toggle function -->
     <script language="javascript">
        function toggleState(item){
           if(item.className == "on") {
              item.className="off";
           } else {
              item.className="on";
           }
        }
     </script>
  </head>

  <body>
     <!-- call 'toggleState' whenever clicked -->
     <input type="button" id="btn" value="button" 
        class="off" onclick="toggleState(this)" />
  </body>

</html>

Using jQuery

If you use jQuery, you can do it using the toggle function, or using the toggleClass function inside click event handler, like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('a#myButton').click(function(){
        $(this).toggleClass("btnClicked");
    });
});

Using jQuery UI effects, you can animate transitions: http://jqueryui.com/demos/toggleClass/

PHP preg_replace special characters

$newstr = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\']/', '_', "There wouldn't be any");
$newstr = str_replace("'", '', $newstr);

I put them on two separate lines to make the code a little more clear.

Note: If you're looking for Unicode support, see Filip's answer below. It will match all characters that register as letters in addition to A-z.

Why an abstract class implementing an interface can miss the declaration/implementation of one of the interface's methods?

Perfectly fine.
You can't instantiate abstract classes.. but abstract classes can be used to house common implementations for m1() and m3().
So if m2() implementation is different for each implementation but m1 and m3 are not. You could create different concrete IAnything implementations with just the different m2 implementation and derive from AbstractThing -- honoring the DRY principle. Validating if the interface is completely implemented for an abstract class is futile..

Update: Interestingly, I find that C# enforces this as a compile error. You are forced to copy the method signatures and prefix them with 'abstract public' in the abstract base class in this scenario.. (something new everyday:)

Integrate ZXing in Android Studio

I was integrating ZXING into an Android application and there were no good sources for the input all over, I will give you a hint on what worked for me - because it turned out to be very easy.

There is a real handy git repository that provides the zxing android library project as an AAR archive.

All you have to do is add this to your build.gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.0.2@aar'
    implementation 'com.google.zxing:core:3.2.0'
}

and Gradle does all the magic to compile the code and makes it accessible in your app.

To start the Scanner afterwards, use this class/method: From the Activity:

new IntentIntegrator(this).initiateScan(); // `this` is the current Activity

From a Fragment:

IntentIntegrator.forFragment(this).initiateScan(); // `this` is the current Fragment
// If you're using the support library, use IntentIntegrator.forSupportFragment(this) instead.

There are several customizing options:

IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(this);
integrator.setDesiredBarcodeFormats(IntentIntegrator.ONE_D_CODE_TYPES);
integrator.setPrompt("Scan a barcode");
integrator.setCameraId(0);  // Use a specific camera of the device
integrator.setBeepEnabled(false);
integrator.setBarcodeImageEnabled(true);
integrator.initiateScan();

They have a sample-project and are providing several integration examples:

If you already visited the link you going to see that I just copy&pasted the code from the git README. If not, go there to get some more insight and code examples.

add a temporary column with a value

I giving you an example in wich the TABLE registrofaena doesn't have the column called minutos. Minutos is created and it content is a result of divide demora/60, in other words, i created a column to show the values of the delay in minutes.

This is the query:

SELECT idfaena,fechahora,demora, demora/60 as minutos,comentario 
FROM registrofaena  
WHERE fecha>='2018-10-17' AND comentario <> '' 
ORDER BY idfaena ASC;

This is the view:

This is the result

Call child method from parent

You can achieve this easily in this way

Steps-

  1. Create a boolean variable in the state in the parent class. Update this when you want to call a function.
  2. Create a prop variable and assign the boolean variable.
  3. From the child component access that variable using props and execute the method you want by having an if condition.

    class Child extends Component {
       Method=()=>{
       --Your method body--
       }
       render() {
         return (
        //check whether the variable has been updated or not
          if(this.props.updateMethod){
            this.Method();
          }
         )
       }
    }
    
    class Parent extends Component {
    
    constructor(){
      this.state={
       callMethod:false
      }
    
    }
    render() {
       return (
    
         //update state according to your requirement
         this.setState({
            callMethod:true
         }}
         <Child updateMethod={this.state.callMethod}></Child>
        );
       }
    }
    

jquery, selector for class within id

Just use the plain ol' class selector.

$('#my_id .my_class')

It doesn't matter if the element also has other classes. It has the .my_class class, and it's somewhere inside #my_id, so it will match that selector.

Regarding performance

According to the jQuery selector performance documentation, it's faster to use the two selectors separately, like this:

$('#my_id').find('.my_class')

Here's the relevant part of the documentation:

ID-Based Selectors

// Fast:
$( "#container div.robotarm" );

// Super-fast:
$( "#container" ).find( "div.robotarm" );

The .find() approach is faster because the first selection is handled without going through the Sizzle selector engine – ID-only selections are handled using document.getElementById(), which is extremely fast because it is native to the browser.

Selecting by ID or by class alone (among other things) invokes browser-supplied functions like document.getElementById() which are quite rapid, whereas using a descendent selector invokes the Sizzle engine as mentioned which, although fast, is slower than the suggested alternative.

How to make HTML code inactive with comments

The proper way to delete code without deleting it, of course, is to use version control, which enables you to resurrect old code from the past. Don't get into the habit of accumulating commented-out code in your pages, it's no fun. :)

How to trim a string in SQL Server before 2017?

I assume this is a one-off data scrubbing exercise. Once done, ensure you add database constraints to prevent bad data in the future e.g.

ALTER TABLE Customer ADD
   CONSTRAINT customer_names__whitespace
      CHECK (
             Names NOT LIKE ' %'
             AND Names NOT LIKE '% '
             AND Names NOT LIKE '%  %'
            );

Also consider disallowing other characters (tab, carriage return, line feed, etc) that may cause problems.

It may also be a good time to split those Names into family_name, first_name, etc :)

Passing structs to functions

It is possible to construct a struct inside the function arguments:

function({ .variable = PUT_DATA_HERE });

Bootstrap: Use .pull-right without having to hardcode a negative margin-top

Keep the h2 at the top, then pull-left on the p and pull-right on the login-box

<div class='container'>
  <div class='hero-unit'>

    <h2>Welcome</h2>

    <div class="pull-left">
      <p>Please log in</p>
    </div>

    <div id='login-box' class='pull-right control-group'>
        <div class='clearfix'>
            <input type='text' placeholder='Username' />
        </div>
        <div class='clearfix'>
            <input type='password' placeholder='Password' />
        </div>
        <button type='button' class='btn btn-primary'>Log in</button>
    </div>

    <div class="clearfix"></div>

  </div>
</div>

the default vertical-align on floated boxes is baseline, so the "Please log in" exactly lines up with the "Username" (check by changing the pull-right to pull-left).

Is there a way to have printf() properly print out an array (of floats, say)?

C is not object oriented programming (OOP) language. So you can not use properties in OOP. Eg. There is no .length property in C. So you need to use loops for your task.

Android EditText delete(backspace) key event

This question may be old but the answer is really simple using a TextWatcher.

int lastSize=0;
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
    //2. compare the old length of the text with the new one
    //3. if the length is shorter, then backspace was clicked
    if (lastSize > charSequence.length()) {
        //4. Backspace was clicked
        //5. perform action
    }
    //1. get the current length of of the text
    lastSize = charSequence.length();
}

Finding repeated words on a string and counting the repetitions

Use Function.identity() inside Collectors.groupingBy and store everything in a MAP.

String a  = "Gini Gina Gina Gina Gina Protijayi Protijayi "; 
        Map<String, Long> map11 = Arrays.stream(a.split(" ")).collect(Collectors
                .groupingBy(Function.identity(),Collectors.counting()));
        System.out.println(map11);

// output => {Gina=4, Gini=1, Protijayi=2}

In Python we can use collections.Counter()

a = "Roopa Roopi  loves green color Roopa Roopi"
words = a.split()

wordsCount = collections.Counter(words)
for word,count in sorted(wordsCount.items()):
    print('"%s" is repeated %d time%s.' % (word,count,"s" if count > 1 else "" ))

Output :

"Roopa" is repeated 2 times. "Roopi" is repeated 2 times. "color" is repeated 1 time. "green" is repeated 1 time. "loves" is repeated 1 time.

Convert array of strings to List<string>

Just use this constructor of List<T>. It accepts any IEnumerable<T> as an argument.

string[] arr = ...
List<string> list = new List<string>(arr);

Online Internet Explorer Simulators

I just realized that there's yet another option. I've heard a lot of good things about this service: Litmus Alkaline.

git: diff between file in local repo and origin

I tried a couple of solution but I thing easy way like this (you are in the local folder):

#!/bin/bash
git fetch

var_local=`cat .git/refs/heads/master`
var_remote=`git log origin/master -1 | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f2`

if [ "$var_remote" = "$var_local" ]; then
    echo "Strings are equal." #1
else
    echo "Strings are not equal." #0 if you want
fi

Then you did compare local git and remote git last commit number....

Check for column name in a SqlDataReader object

Here is a working sample for Jasmin's idea:

var cols = r.GetSchemaTable().Rows.Cast<DataRow>().Select

if (cols.Contains("the column name"))
{

}

Prevent redirect after form is submitted

You should post it with ajax, this will stop it from changing the page, and you will still get the information back.

$(function() {
    $('form').submit(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'submit.php',
            data: { username: $(this).name.value, 
                    password: $(this).password.value }
        });
        return false;
    }); 
})

failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections

it is because of using web address, You can not use http to write data. don't use : http:// or https:// in your location for upload files or save data or somting like that. instead of of using $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] use $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. for example :

wrong :

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["File"]["tmp_name"],$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"].'/uploads/images/1.jpg')

correct:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["File"]["tmp_name"],$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/uploads/images/1.jpg')

Set selected item of spinner programmatically

Some explanation (at least for Fragments - never tried with pure Activity). Hope it helps someone to understand Android better.

Most popular answer by Arun George is correct but don't work in some cases.
The answer by Marco HC uses Runnable wich is a last resort due to additional CPU load.

The answer is - you should simply choose correct place to call to setSelection(), for example it works for me:

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    yourSpinner.setSelection(pos);
 }

But it won't work in onCreateView(). I suspect that is the reason for the interest to this topic.

The secret is that with Android you can't do anything you want in any method - oops:( - components may just not be ready. As another example - you can't scroll ScrollView neither in onCreateView() nor in onResume() (see the answer here)

Pagination response payload from a RESTful API

ReSTful APIs are consumed primarily by other systems, which is why I put paging data in the response headers. However, some API consumers may not have direct access to the response headers, or may be building a UX over your API, so providing a way to retrieve (on demand) the metadata in the JSON response is a plus.

I believe your implementation should include machine-readable metadata as a default, and human-readable metadata when requested. The human-readable metadata could be returned with every request if you like or, preferably, on-demand via a query parameter, such as include=metadata or include_metadata=true.

In your particular scenario, I would include the URI for each product with the record. This makes it easy for the API consumer to create links to the individual products. I would also set some reasonable expectations as per the limits of my paging requests. Implementing and documenting default settings for page size is an acceptable practice. For example, GitHub's API sets the default page size to 30 records with a maximum of 100, plus sets a rate limit on the number of times you can query the API. If your API has a default page size, then the query string can just specify the page index.

In the human-readable scenario, when navigating to /products?page=5&per_page=20&include=metadata, the response could be:

{
  "_metadata": 
  {
      "page": 5,
      "per_page": 20,
      "page_count": 20,
      "total_count": 521,
      "Links": [
        {"self": "/products?page=5&per_page=20"},
        {"first": "/products?page=0&per_page=20"},
        {"previous": "/products?page=4&per_page=20"},
        {"next": "/products?page=6&per_page=20"},
        {"last": "/products?page=26&per_page=20"},
      ]
  },

    {
      "id": 1,

      "uri": "/products/2"
    },
    {
      "id": 3,
      "name": "Widget #3",
      "uri": "/products/3"
    }
  ]
}

For machine-readable metadata, I would add Link headers to the response:

Link: </products?page=5&perPage=20>;rel=self,</products?page=0&perPage=20>;rel=first,</products?page=4&perPage=20>;rel=previous,</products?page=6&perPage=20>;rel=next,</products?page=26&perPage=20>;rel=last

(the Link header value should be urlencoded)

...and possibly a custom total-count response header, if you so choose:

total-count: 521

The other paging data revealed in the human-centric metadata might be superfluous for machine-centric metadata, as the link headers let me know which page I am on and the number per page, and I can quickly retrieve the number of records in the array. Therefore, I would probably only create a header for the total count. You can always change your mind later and add more metadata.

As an aside, you may notice I removed /index from your URI. A generally accepted convention is to have your ReST endpoint expose collections. Having /index at the end muddies that up slightly.

These are just a few things I like to have when consuming/creating an API. Hope that helps!

Modify property value of the objects in list using Java 8 streams

If you wanna create new list, use Stream.map method:

List<Fruit> newList = fruits.stream()
    .map(f -> new Fruit(f.getId(), f.getName() + "s", f.getCountry()))
    .collect(Collectors.toList())

If you wanna modify current list, use Collection.forEach:

fruits.forEach(f -> f.setName(f.getName() + "s"))

How to compare two colors for similarity/difference

I used this in my android up and it seems satisfactory although RGB space is not recommended:

    public double colourDistance(int red1,int green1, int blue1, int red2, int green2, int blue2)
{
      double rmean = ( red1 + red2 )/2;
    int r = red1 - red2;
    int g = green1 - green2;
    int b = blue1 - blue2;
    double weightR = 2 + rmean/256;
    double weightG = 4.0;
    double weightB = 2 + (255-rmean)/256;
    return Math.sqrt(weightR*r*r + weightG*g*g + weightB*b*b);
}

Then I used the following to get percent of similarity:

double maxColDist = 764.8339663572415;
double d1 = colourDistance(red1,green1,blue1,red2,green2,blue2);
String s1 = (int) Math.round(((maxColDist-d1)/maxColDist)*100) + "% match";

It works well enough.

Run Command Prompt Commands

this is all you have to do run shell commands from C#

string strCmdText;
strCmdText= "/C copy /b Image1.jpg + Archive.rar Image2.jpg";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdText);

EDIT:

This is to hide the cmd window.

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "/C copy /b Image1.jpg + Archive.rar Image2.jpg";
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();

EDIT: 2

Important is that the argument begins with /C otherwise it won't work. How Scott Ferguson said: it "Carries out the command specified by the string and then terminates."

How can I create an error 404 in PHP?

Did you remember to die() after sending the header? The 404 header doesn't automatically stop processing, so it may appear not to have done anything if there is further processing happening.

It's not good to REDIRECT to your 404 page, but you can INCLUDE the content from it with no problem. That way, you have a page that properly sends a 404 status from the correct URL, but it also has your "what are you looking for?" page for the human reader.

Difference between sh and bash

Other answers generally pointed out the difference between Bash and a POSIX shell standard. However, when writing portable shell scripts and being used to Bash syntax, a list of typical bashisms and corresponding pure POSIX solutions is very handy. Such list has been compiled when Ubuntu switched from Bash to Dash as default system shell and can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh

Moreover, there is a great tool called checkbashisms that checks for bashisms in your script and comes handy when you want to make sure that your script is portable.

String date to xmlgregoriancalendar conversion

Found the solution as below.... posting it as it could help somebody else too :)

DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
Date date = format.parse("2014-04-24 11:15:00");

GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.setTime(date);

XMLGregorianCalendar xmlGregCal =  DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(cal);

System.out.println(xmlGregCal);

Output:

2014-04-24T11:15:00.000+02:00

Reading a json file in Android

Put that file in assets.

For project created in Android Studio project you need to create assets folder under the main folder.

Read that file as:

public String loadJSONFromAsset(Context context) {
        String json = null;
        try {
            InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("file_name.json");

            int size = is.available();

            byte[] buffer = new byte[size];

            is.read(buffer);

            is.close();

            json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");


        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
        return json;

    }

and then you can simply read this string return by this function as

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json_return_by_the_function);

For further details regarding JSON see http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidJSON/article.html

Hope you will get what you want.

Line Break in XML?

If you use CDATA, you could embed the line breaks directly into the XML I think. Example:

<song>
    <title>Song Title</title>
    <lyric><![CDATA[Line 1
Line 2
Line 3]]></lyric>
</song>

In Git, what is the difference between origin/master vs origin master?

origin is a name for remote git url. There can be many more remotes example below.

bangalore => bangalore.example.com:project.git

boston => boston.example.com:project.git

as far as origin/master (example bangalore/master) goes, it is pointer to "master" commit on bangalore site . You see it in your clone.

It is possible that remote bangalore has advanced since you have done "fetch" or "pull"

how do I give a div a responsive height

For the height of a div to be responsive, it must be inside a parent element with a defined height to derive it's relative height from.

If you set the height of the container holding the image and text box on the right, you can subsequently set the heights of its two children to be something like 75% and 25%.

However, this will get a bit tricky when the site layout gets narrower and things will get wonky. Try setting the padding on .contentBg to something like 5.5%.

My suggestion is to use Media Queries to tweak the padding at different screen sizes, then bump everything into a single column when appropriate.

Can not get a simple bootstrap modal to work

A simple way to use modals is with eModal!

Ex from github:

  1. Link to eModal.js <script src="//rawgit.com/saribe/eModal/master/dist/eModal.min.js"></script>
  2. use eModal to display a modal for alert, ajax, prompt or confirm

    // Display an alert modal with default title (Attention)
    eModal.alert('You shall not pass!');
    

CSS, Images, JS not loading in IIS

I had this same problem. For me, it was due to Cache-Control header being set at the server level in IIS to no-cache, no-store. So for my application I had to add in the below to my web.config:

<httpProtocol>
    <customHeaders>
        <remove name="Cache-Control" />
    </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>

What is the difference between "screen" and "only screen" in media queries?

@media screen and (max-width:480px) { … } 

screen here is to set the screen size of the media query. E.g the maximum width of the display area is 480px. So it is specifying the screen as opposed to the other available media types.

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px;) { … } 

only screen here is used to prevent older browsers that do not support media queries with media features from applying the specified styles.

Jenkins - How to access BUILD_NUMBER environment variable

Assuming I am understanding your question and setup correctly,

If you're trying to use the build number in your script, you have two options:

1) When calling ant, use: ant -Dbuild_parameter=${BUILD_NUMBER}

2) Change your script so that:

<property environment="env" />
<property name="build_parameter"  value="${env.BUILD_NUMBER}"/>

Delete keychain items when an app is uninstalled

Files will be deleted from your app's document directory when the user uninstalls the app. Knowing this, all you have to do is check whether a file exists as the first thing that happens in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:. Afterwards, unconditionally create the file (even if it's just a dummy file).

If the file did not exist at time of check, you know this is the first run since the latest install. If you need to know later in the app, save the boolean result to your app delegate member.

How to change Rails 3 server default port in develoment?

Combining two previous answers, for Rails 4.0.4 (and up, presumably), this suffices at the end of config/boot.rb:

    end

Extract the last substring from a cell

This works, even when there are middle names:

=MID(A2,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",CHAR(1),LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",""))))+1,LEN(A2))

If you want everything BUT the last name, check out this answer.

If there are trailing spaces in your names, then you may want to remove them by replacing all instances of A2 by TRIM(A2) in the above formula.

Note that it is only by pure chance that your first formula =RIGHT(A2,FIND(" ",A2,1)-1) kind of works for Alistair Stevens. This is because "Alistair" and " Stevens" happen to contain the same number of characters (if you count the leading space in " Stevens").

How to split a dataframe string column into two columns?

TL;DR version:

For the simple case of:

  • I have a text column with a delimiter and I want two columns

The simplest solution is:

df[['A', 'B']] = df['AB'].str.split(' ', 1, expand=True)

You must use expand=True if your strings have a non-uniform number of splits and you want None to replace the missing values.

Notice how, in either case, the .tolist() method is not necessary. Neither is zip().

In detail:

Andy Hayden's solution is most excellent in demonstrating the power of the str.extract() method.

But for a simple split over a known separator (like, splitting by dashes, or splitting by whitespace), the .str.split() method is enough1. It operates on a column (Series) of strings, and returns a column (Series) of lists:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'AB': ['A1-B1', 'A2-B2']})
>>> df

      AB
0  A1-B1
1  A2-B2
>>> df['AB_split'] = df['AB'].str.split('-')
>>> df

      AB  AB_split
0  A1-B1  [A1, B1]
1  A2-B2  [A2, B2]

1: If you're unsure what the first two parameters of .str.split() do, I recommend the docs for the plain Python version of the method.

But how do you go from:

  • a column containing two-element lists

to:

  • two columns, each containing the respective element of the lists?

Well, we need to take a closer look at the .str attribute of a column.

It's a magical object that is used to collect methods that treat each element in a column as a string, and then apply the respective method in each element as efficient as possible:

>>> upper_lower_df = pd.DataFrame({"U": ["A", "B", "C"]})
>>> upper_lower_df

   U
0  A
1  B
2  C
>>> upper_lower_df["L"] = upper_lower_df["U"].str.lower()
>>> upper_lower_df

   U  L
0  A  a
1  B  b
2  C  c

But it also has an "indexing" interface for getting each element of a string by its index:

>>> df['AB'].str[0]

0    A
1    A
Name: AB, dtype: object

>>> df['AB'].str[1]

0    1
1    2
Name: AB, dtype: object

Of course, this indexing interface of .str doesn't really care if each element it's indexing is actually a string, as long as it can be indexed, so:

>>> df['AB'].str.split('-', 1).str[0]

0    A1
1    A2
Name: AB, dtype: object

>>> df['AB'].str.split('-', 1).str[1]

0    B1
1    B2
Name: AB, dtype: object

Then, it's a simple matter of taking advantage of the Python tuple unpacking of iterables to do

>>> df['A'], df['B'] = df['AB'].str.split('-', 1).str
>>> df

      AB  AB_split   A   B
0  A1-B1  [A1, B1]  A1  B1
1  A2-B2  [A2, B2]  A2  B2

Of course, getting a DataFrame out of splitting a column of strings is so useful that the .str.split() method can do it for you with the expand=True parameter:

>>> df['AB'].str.split('-', 1, expand=True)

    0   1
0  A1  B1
1  A2  B2

So, another way of accomplishing what we wanted is to do:

>>> df = df[['AB']]
>>> df

      AB
0  A1-B1
1  A2-B2

>>> df.join(df['AB'].str.split('-', 1, expand=True).rename(columns={0:'A', 1:'B'}))

      AB   A   B
0  A1-B1  A1  B1
1  A2-B2  A2  B2

The expand=True version, although longer, has a distinct advantage over the tuple unpacking method. Tuple unpacking doesn't deal well with splits of different lengths:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'AB': ['A1-B1', 'A2-B2', 'A3-B3-C3']})
>>> df
         AB
0     A1-B1
1     A2-B2
2  A3-B3-C3
>>> df['A'], df['B'], df['C'] = df['AB'].str.split('-')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  [...]    
ValueError: Length of values does not match length of index
>>> 

But expand=True handles it nicely by placing None in the columns for which there aren't enough "splits":

>>> df.join(
...     df['AB'].str.split('-', expand=True).rename(
...         columns={0:'A', 1:'B', 2:'C'}
...     )
... )
         AB   A   B     C
0     A1-B1  A1  B1  None
1     A2-B2  A2  B2  None
2  A3-B3-C3  A3  B3    C3

how to insert value into DataGridView Cell?

You can access any DGV cell as follows :

dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[columnIndex].Value = value;

But usually it's better to use databinding : you bind the DGV to a data source (DataTable, collection...) through the DataSource property, and only work on the data source itself. The DataGridView will automatically reflect the changes, and changes made on the DataGridView will be reflected on the data source

How do I create an array of strings in C?

hello you can try this bellow :

 char arr[nb_of_string][max_string_length]; 
 strcpy(arr[0], "word");

a nice example of using, array of strings in c if you want it

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>


int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

int i, j, k;

// to set you array
//const arr[nb_of_string][max_string_length]
char array[3][100];

char temp[100];
char word[100];

for (i = 0; i < 3; i++){
    printf("type word %d : ",i+1);
    scanf("%s", word);
    strcpy(array[i], word);
}

for (k=0; k<3-1; k++){
    for (i=0; i<3-1; i++)
    {
        for (j=0; j<strlen(array[i]); j++)
        {
            // if a letter ascii code is bigger we swap values
            if (array[i][j] > array[i+1][j])
            {
                strcpy(temp, array[i+1]);
                strcpy(array[i+1], array[i]);
                strcpy(array[i], temp);

                j = 999;
            }

            // if a letter ascii code is smaller we stop
            if (array[i][j] < array[i+1][j])
            {
                    j = 999;
            }

        }
    }
}

for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{
    printf("%s\n",array[i]);
}

return 0;
}

Upgrading PHP in XAMPP for Windows?

Simplest method to upgrade PHP in XAMPP:

  1. Download latest portable version of XAMPP.
  2. Extract the archive(not where XAMPP already installed).
  3. Copy the PHP folder from the extracted archive.
  4. Keep back up of PHP folder which is in installed XAMPP directory. You can backup it like changing the PHP folder name to PHP-old or like PHP-version-number
  5. Paste the PHP folder which you copied from the extracted archive.
  6. Replace the php.ini file with your backup folder php.ini file in case you have changed the default settings earlier.
  7. That's all, start/restart the server.

Does VBA have Dictionary Structure?

VBA has the collection object:

    Dim c As Collection
    Set c = New Collection
    c.Add "Data1", "Key1"
    c.Add "Data2", "Key2"
    c.Add "Data3", "Key3"
    'Insert data via key into cell A1
    Range("A1").Value = c.Item("Key2")

The Collection object performs key-based lookups using a hash so it's quick.


You can use a Contains() function to check whether a particular collection contains a key:

Public Function Contains(col As Collection, key As Variant) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    col(key) ' Just try it. If it fails, Err.Number will be nonzero.
    Contains = (Err.Number = 0)
    Err.Clear
End Function

Edit 24 June 2015: Shorter Contains() thanks to @TWiStErRob.

Edit 25 September 2015: Added Err.Clear() thanks to @scipilot.

Difference between setTimeout with and without quotes and parentheses

With the parentheses:

setTimeout("alertMsg()", 3000); // It work, here it treat as a function

Without the quotes and the parentheses:

setTimeout(alertMsg, 3000); // It also work, here it treat as a function

And the third is only using quotes:

setTimeout("alertMsg", 3000); // It not work, here it treat as a string

_x000D_
_x000D_
function alertMsg1() {_x000D_
        alert("message 1");_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    function alertMsg2() {_x000D_
        alert("message 2");_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    function alertMsg3() {_x000D_
        alert("message 3");_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    function alertMsg4() {_x000D_
        alert("message 4");_x000D_
    }_x000D_
_x000D_
    // this work after 2 second_x000D_
    setTimeout(alertMsg1, 2000);_x000D_
_x000D_
    // This work immediately_x000D_
    setTimeout(alertMsg2(), 4000);_x000D_
_x000D_
    // this fail_x000D_
    setTimeout('alertMsg3', 6000);_x000D_
_x000D_
    // this work after 8second_x000D_
    setTimeout('alertMsg4()', 8000);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In the above example first alertMsg2() function call immediately (we give the time out 4S but it don't bother) after that alertMsg1() (A time wait of 2 Second) then alertMsg4() (A time wait of 8 Second) but the alertMsg3() is not working because we place it within the quotes without parties so it is treated as a string.

C++ Cout & Cin & System "Ambiguous"

This kind of thing doesn't just magically happen on its own; you changed something! In industry we use version control to make regular savepoints, so when something goes wrong we can trace back the specific changes we made that resulted in that problem.

Since you haven't done that here, we can only really guess. In Visual Studio, Intellisense (the technology that gives you auto-complete dropdowns and those squiggly red lines) works separately from the actual C++ compiler under the bonnet, and sometimes gets things a bit wrong.

In this case I'd ask why you're including both cstdlib and stdlib.h; you should only use one of them, and I recommend the former. They are basically the same header, a C header, but cstdlib puts them in the namespace std in order to "C++-ise" them. In theory, including both wouldn't conflict but, well, this is Microsoft we're talking about. Their C++ toolchain sometimes leaves something to be desired. Any time the Intellisense disagrees with the compiler has to be considered a bug, whichever way you look at it!

Anyway, your use of using namespace std (which I would recommend against, in future) means that std::system from cstdlib now conflicts with system from stdlib.h. I can't explain what's going on with std::cout and std::cin.

Try removing #include <stdlib.h> and see what happens.

If your program is building successfully then you don't need to worry too much about this, but I can imagine the false positives being annoying when you're working in your IDE.

CORS jQuery AJAX request

It's easy, you should set server http response header first. The problem is not with your front-end javascript code. You need to return this header:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*

or

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:your domain

In Apache config files, the code is like this:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

In nodejs,the code is like this:

res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin','*');

Registry Key '...' has value '1.7', but '1.6' is required. Java 1.7 is Installed and the Registry is Pointing to it

Change to directory with correct java.exe i.e. go to the required JDK version java.exe

cd C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_25/bin

Run the java.exe from this directory, it has precedence over registry and $PATH settings.

Xcode 6.1 Missing required architecture X86_64 in file

I use lipo command to combine two built static libraries manually.

EX: I have a static library(libXYZ.a) to build.

I run build for Generic iOS Device and got Product in Debug-iphoneos/

$ lipo -info Debug-iphoneos/libXYZ.a
Architectures in the fat file: Debug-iphoneos/libXYZ.a are: armv7 arm64

Then I run build for any iOS Simulator and got Product in Debug-iphonesimulator/

$ lipo -info Debug-iphonesimulator/libXYZ.a
Architectures in the fat file: Debug-iphonesimulator/libXYZ.a are: i386 x86_64

Finally I combine into one to contain all architectures.

$ lipo -create Debug-iphoneos/libXYZ.a Debug-iphonesimulator/libXYZ.a -output libXYZ.a
$ lipo -info libXYZ.a
Architectures in the fat file: libXYZ.a are: armv7 i386 x86_64 arm64

Combine multiple JavaScript files into one JS file

This may be a bit of effort but you could download my open-source wiki project from codeplex:

http://shuttlewiki.codeplex.com

It contains a CompressJavascript project (and CompressCSS) that uses the http://yuicompressor.codeplex.com/ project.

The code should be self-explanatory but it makes combining and compressing the files a bit simnpler --- for me anyway :)

The ShuttleWiki project shows how to use it in the post-build event.

How to find nth occurrence of character in a string?

I believe the easiest solution for finding the Nth occurrence of a String is to use StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf() from Apache Commons.

Java - Including variables within strings?

This is called string interpolation; it doesn't exist as such in Java.

One approach is to use String.format:

Another approach is to use a templating library such as Velocity or FreeMarker.

Java Error: "Your security settings have blocked a local application from running"

After reading Java 7 Update 21 Security Improvements in Detail mention..

With the introduced changes it is most likely that no end-user is able to run your application when they are either self-signed or unsigned.

..I was wondering how this would go for loose class files - the 'simplest' applets of all.

Local file system

Dialog: Your security settings have blocked a local application from running
Your security settings have blocked a local application from running

That is the dialog seen for an applet consisting of loose class files being loaded off the local file system when the JRE is set to the default 'High' security setting.


Note that a slight quirk of the JRE only produced that on point 3 of.

  1. Load the applet page to see a broken applet symbol that leads to an empty console.
    Open the Java settings and set the level to Medium.
    Close browser & Java settings.
  2. Load the applet page to see the applet.
    Open the Java settings and set the level to High.
    Close browser & Java settings.
  3. Load the applet page to see a broken applet symbol & the above dialog.

Internet

If you load the simple applet (loose class file) seen at this resizable applet demo off the internet - which boasts an applet element of:

<applet
    code="PlafChanger.class"
    codebase="."
    alt="Pluggable Look'n'Feel Changer appears here if Java is enabled"
    width='100%'
    height='250'>
<p>Pluggable Look'n'Feel Changer appears here in a Java capable browser.</p>
</applet>

It also seems to load successfully. Implying that:-

Applets loaded from the local file system are now subject to a stricter security sandbox than those loaded from the internet or a local server.

Security settings descriptions

As of Java 7 update 51.

  • Very High: Most secure setting - Only Java applications identified by a non-expired certificate from a trusted authority will be allowed to run.
  • High (minimum recommended): Java applications identified by a certificate from a trusted authority will be allowed to run.
  • Medium - All Java applications will be allowed to run after presenting a security prompt.

Split function equivalent in T-SQL?

This blog came with a pretty good solution using XML in T-SQL.

This is the function I came up with based on that blog (change function name and result type cast per need):

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitIntoBigints]
(@List varchar(MAX), @Splitter char)
RETURNS TABLE 
AS
RETURN 
(
    WITH SplittedXML AS(
        SELECT CAST('<v>' + REPLACE(@List, @Splitter, '</v><v>') + '</v>' AS XML) AS Splitted
    )
    SELECT x.v.value('.', 'bigint') AS Value
    FROM SplittedXML
    CROSS APPLY Splitted.nodes('//v') x(v)
)
GO

Convert RGB to Black & White in OpenCV

Simple binary threshold method is sufficient.

include

#include <string>
#include "opencv/highgui.h"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main()
{
    Mat img = imread("./img.jpg",0);//loading gray scale image
    threshold(img, img, 128, 255, CV_THRESH_BINARY);//threshold binary, you can change threshold 128 to your convenient threshold
    imwrite("./black-white.jpg",img);
    return 0;
}

You can use GaussianBlur to get a smooth black and white image.

            contentType: 'application/json',
            data: JSONObject,
            headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*' }, //add this line
            dataType: 'json',

Concatenating two std::vectors

Or you could use:

std::copy(source.begin(), source.end(), std::back_inserter(destination));

This pattern is useful if the two vectors don't contain exactly the same type of thing, because you can use something instead of std::back_inserter to convert from one type to the other.

Which is better, return value or out parameter?

There's one reason to use an out param which has not already been mentioned: the calling method is obliged to receive it. If your method produces a value which the caller should not discard, making it an out forces the caller to specifically accept it:

 Method1();  // Return values can be discard quite easily, even accidentally

 int  resultCode;
 Method2(out resultCode);  // Out params are a little harder to ignore

Of course the caller can still ignore the value in an out param, but you've called their attention to it.

This is a rare need; more often, you should use an exception for a genuine problem or return an object with state information for an "FYI", but there could be circumstances where this is important.

Console output in a Qt GUI app?

Oh you can Output a message when using QT += gui and CONFIG += console.

Command to get time in milliseconds

date +%s%N returns the number of seconds + current nanoseconds.

Therefore, echo $(($(date +%s%N)/1000000)) is what you need.

Example:

$ echo $(($(date +%s%N)/1000000))
1535546718115

date +%s returns the number of seconds since the epoch, if that's useful.

"Invalid signature file" when attempting to run a .jar

This happened to me in Intellij when I clicked "Add as a Maven Project" on bottom line when Intellij said "non-managed pom files found.". Meanwhile out folder was already generated. So it did not get recent changes.

Deleting out folder and running the program solved the issue for me. out folder was then recreated.

See the answer of Little Fox as well. The error I received was very similar to his.

Truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all()

The or and and python statements require truth-values. For pandas these are considered ambiguous so you should use "bitwise" | (or) or & (and) operations:

result = result[(result['var']>0.25) | (result['var']<-0.25)]

These are overloaded for these kind of datastructures to yield the element-wise or (or and).


Just to add some more explanation to this statement:

The exception is thrown when you want to get the bool of a pandas.Series:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> x = pd.Series([1])
>>> bool(x)
ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

What you hit was a place where the operator implicitly converted the operands to bool (you used or but it also happens for and, if and while):

>>> x or x
ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().
>>> x and x
ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().
>>> if x:
...     print('fun')
ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().
>>> while x:
...     print('fun')
ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

Besides these 4 statements there are several python functions that hide some bool calls (like any, all, filter, ...) these are normally not problematic with pandas.Series but for completeness I wanted to mention these.


In your case the exception isn't really helpful, because it doesn't mention the right alternatives. For and and or you can use (if you want element-wise comparisons):

  • numpy.logical_or:

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> np.logical_or(x, y)
    

    or simply the | operator:

    >>> x | y
    
  • numpy.logical_and:

    >>> np.logical_and(x, y)
    

    or simply the & operator:

    >>> x & y
    

If you're using the operators then make sure you set your parenthesis correctly because of the operator precedence.

There are several logical numpy functions which should work on pandas.Series.


The alternatives mentioned in the Exception are more suited if you encountered it when doing if or while. I'll shortly explain each of these:

  • If you want to check if your Series is empty:

    >>> x = pd.Series([])
    >>> x.empty
    True
    >>> x = pd.Series([1])
    >>> x.empty
    False
    

    Python normally interprets the length of containers (like list, tuple, ...) as truth-value if it has no explicit boolean interpretation. So if you want the python-like check, you could do: if x.size or if not x.empty instead of if x.

  • If your Series contains one and only one boolean value:

    >>> x = pd.Series([100])
    >>> (x > 50).bool()
    True
    >>> (x < 50).bool()
    False
    
  • If you want to check the first and only item of your Series (like .bool() but works even for not boolean contents):

    >>> x = pd.Series([100])
    >>> x.item()
    100
    
  • If you want to check if all or any item is not-zero, not-empty or not-False:

    >>> x = pd.Series([0, 1, 2])
    >>> x.all()   # because one element is zero
    False
    >>> x.any()   # because one (or more) elements are non-zero
    True
    

Pandas: rolling mean by time interval

What about something like this:

First resample the data frame into 1D intervals. This takes the mean of the values for all duplicate days. Use the fill_method option to fill in missing date values. Next, pass the resampled frame into pd.rolling_mean with a window of 3 and min_periods=1 :

pd.rolling_mean(df.resample("1D", fill_method="ffill"), window=3, min_periods=1)

df.resample("1d").sum().fillna(0).rolling(window=3, min_periods=1).mean()

Example using Hyperlink in WPF

In addition to Fuji's response, we can make the handler reusable turning it into an attached property:

public static class HyperlinkExtensions
{
    public static bool GetIsExternal(DependencyObject obj)
    {
        return (bool)obj.GetValue(IsExternalProperty);
    }

    public static void SetIsExternal(DependencyObject obj, bool value)
    {
        obj.SetValue(IsExternalProperty, value);
    }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsExternalProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsExternal", typeof(bool), typeof(HyperlinkExtensions), new UIPropertyMetadata(false, OnIsExternalChanged));

    private static void OnIsExternalChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
    {
        var hyperlink = sender as Hyperlink;

        if ((bool)args.NewValue)
            hyperlink.RequestNavigate += Hyperlink_RequestNavigate;
        else
            hyperlink.RequestNavigate -= Hyperlink_RequestNavigate;
    }

    private static void Hyperlink_RequestNavigate(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.RequestNavigateEventArgs e)
    {
        Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(e.Uri.AbsoluteUri));
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

And use it like this:

Java Convert GMT/UTC to Local time doesn't work as expected

Joda-Time


UPDATE: The Joda-Time project is now in maintenance mode, with the team advising migration to the java.time classes. See Tutorial by Oracle.

See my other Answer using the industry-leading java.time classes.


Normally we consider it bad form on StackOverflow.com to answer a specific question by suggesting an alternate technology. But in the case of the date, time, and calendar classes bundled with Java 7 and earlier, those classes are so notoriously bad in both design and execution that I am compelled to suggest using a 3rd-party library instead: Joda-Time.

Joda-Time works by creating immutable objects. So rather than alter the time zone of a DateTime object, we simply instantiate a new DateTime with a different time zone assigned.

Your central concern of using both local and UTC time is so very simple in Joda-Time, taking just 3 lines of code.

    org.joda.time.DateTime now = new org.joda.time.DateTime();
    System.out.println( "Local time in ISO 8601 format: " + now + " in zone: " + now.getZone() );
    System.out.println( "UTC (Zulu) time zone: " + now.toDateTime( org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.UTC ) );

Output when run on the west coast of North America might be:

Local time in ISO 8601 format: 2013-10-15T02:45:30.801-07:00

UTC (Zulu) time zone: 2013-10-15T09:45:30.801Z

Here is a class with several examples and further comments. Using Joda-Time 2.5.

             $('#orderdate').datepicker({
                               daysOfWeekDisabled: [0,6]
                 });

Python vs. Java performance (runtime speed)

If you ignore the characteristics of both languages, how do you define "SPEED"? Which features should be in your benchmark and which do you want to omit?

For example:

  • Does it count when Java executes an empty loop faster than Python?
  • Or is Python faster when it notices that the loop body is empty, the loop header has no side effects and it optimizes the whole loop away?
  • Or is that "a language characteristic"?
  • Do you want to know how many bytecodes each language can execute per second?
  • Which ones? Only the fast ones or all of them?
  • How do you count the Java VM JIT compiler which turns bytecode into CPU-specific assembler code at runtime?
  • Do you include code compilation times (which are extra in Java but always included in Python)?

Conclusion: Your question has no answer because it isn't defined what you want. Even if you made it more clear, the question will probably become academic since you will measure something that doesn't count in real life. For all of my projects, both Java and Python have always been fast enough. Of course, I would prefer one language over the other for a specific problem in a certain context.

Chrome javascript debugger breakpoints don't do anything?

What is the difference between CHARACTER VARYING and VARCHAR in PostgreSQL?

The only difference is that CHARACTER VARYING is more human friendly than VARCHAR

How can I ping a server port with PHP?

You don't need any exec or shell_exec hacks to do that, it is possible to do it in PHP. The book 'You want to do WHAT with PHP?' by Kevin Schroeder, show's how.

It uses sockets and the pack() function which lets you read and write binary protocols. What you need to do is to create an ICMP packet, which you can do by using the 'CCnnnA*' format to create your packet.

HTTP redirect: 301 (permanent) vs. 302 (temporary)

When a search engine spider finds 301 status code in the response header of a webpage, it understands that this webpage no longer exists, it searches for location header in response pick the new URL and replace the indexed URL with the new one and also transfer pagerank.

So search engine refreshes all indexed URL that no longer exist (301 found) with the new URL, this will retain your old webpage traffic, pagerank and divert it to the new one (you will not lose you traffic of old webpage).

Browser: if a browser finds 301 status code then it caches the mapping of the old URL with the new URL, the client/browser will not attempt to request the original location but use the new location from now on unless the cache is cleared.

enter image description here

When a search engine spider finds 302 status for a webpage, it will only redirect temporarily to the new location and crawl both of the pages. The old webpage URL still exists in the search engine database and it always attempts to request the old location and crawl it. The client/browser will still attempt to request the original location.

enter image description here

What's the best way of scraping data from a website?

Yes you can do it yourself. It is just a matter of grabbing the sources of the page and parsing them the way you want.

There are various possibilities. A good combo is using python-requests (built on top of urllib2, it is urllib.request in Python3) and BeautifulSoup4, which has its methods to select elements and also permits CSS selectors:

import requests
from BeautifulSoup4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
request = requests.get("http://foo.bar")
soup = bs(request.text) 
some_elements = soup.find_all("div", class_="myCssClass")

Some will prefer xpath parsing or jquery-like pyquery, lxml or something else.

When the data you want is produced by some JavaScript, the above won't work. You either need python-ghost or Selenium. I prefer the latter combined with PhantomJS, much lighter and simpler to install, and easy to use:

from selenium import webdriver
client = webdriver.PhantomJS()
client.get("http://foo")
soup = bs(client.page_source)

I would advice to start your own solution. You'll understand Scrapy's benefits doing so.

ps: take a look at scrapely: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapely

pps: take a look at Portia, to start extracting information visually, without programming knowledge: https://github.com/scrapinghub/portia

How can I remove all my changes in my SVN working directory?

If you have no changes, you can always be really thorough and/or lazy and do...

rm -rf *
svn update

But, no really, do not do that unless you are really sure that the nuke-from-space option is what you want!! This has the advantage of also nuking all build cruft, temporary files, and things that SVN ignores.

The more correct solution is to use the revert command:

svn revert -R .

The -R causes subversion to recurse and revert everything in and below the current working directory.

How can I break up this long line in Python?

For anyone who is also trying to call .format() on a long string, and is unable to use some of the most popular string wrapping techniques without breaking the subsequent .format( call, you can do str.format("", 1, 2) instead of "".format(1, 2). This lets you break the string with whatever technique you like. For example:

logger.info("Skipping {0} because its thumbnail was already in our system as {1}.".format(line[indexes['url']], video.title))

can be

logger.info(str.format(("Skipping {0} because its thumbnail was already"
+ "in our system as {1}"), line[indexes['url']], video.title))

Otherwise, the only possibility is using line ending continuations, which I personally am not a fan of.

Javascript : Send JSON Object with Ajax?

If you`re not using jQuery then please make sure:

var json_upload = "json_name=" + JSON.stringify({name:"John Rambo", time:"2pm"});
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();   // new HttpRequest instance 
xmlhttp.open("POST", "/file.php");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send(json_upload);

And for the php receiving end:

 $_POST['json_name'] 

Is Constructor Overriding Possible?

method overriding in java is used to improve the recent code performance written previously .

some code like shows that here we are creating reference of base class and creating phyisical instance of the derived class. in constructors overloading is possible.

int size=fis.available();

size will return the total number of bytes possible in a.txt so

What is the best way to delete a value from an array in Perl?

How to run regasm.exe from command line other than Visual Studio command prompt?

You don't need the directory on your path. You could put it on your path, but you don't NEED to do that.
If you are calling regasm rarely, or calling it from a batch file, you may find it is simpler to just invoke regasm via the fully-qualified pathname on the exe, eg:

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe   MyAssembly.dll

Create code first, many to many, with additional fields in association table

TLDR; (semi-related to an EF editor bug in EF6/VS2012U5) if you generate the model from DB and you cannot see the attributed m:m table: Delete the two related tables -> Save .edmx -> Generate/add from database -> Save.

For those who came here wondering how to get a many-to-many relationship with attribute columns to show in the EF .edmx file (as it would currently not show and be treated as a set of navigational properties), AND you generated these classes from your database table (or database-first in MS lingo, I believe.)

Delete the 2 tables in question (to take the OP example, Member and Comment) in your .edmx and add them again through 'Generate model from database'. (i.e. do not attempt to let Visual Studio update them - delete, save, add, save)

It will then create a 3rd table in line with what is suggested here.

This is relevant in cases where a pure many-to-many relationship is added at first, and the attributes are designed in the DB later.

This was not immediately clear from this thread/Googling. So just putting it out there as this is link #1 on Google looking for the issue but coming from the DB side first.

Why is datetime.strptime not working in this simple example?

You should be using datetime.datetime.strptime. Note that very old versions of Python (2.4 and older) don't have datetime.datetime.strptime; use time.strptime in that case.

What is "pom" packaging in maven?

Packaging of pom is used in projects that aggregate other projects, and in projects whose only useful output is an attached artifact from some plugin. In your case, I'd guess that your top-level pom includes <modules>...</modules> to aggregate other directories, and the actual output is the result of one of the other (probably sub-) directories. It will, if coded sensibly for this purpose, have a packaging of war.

Python 3 ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

I got further with Valeres answer:

pip install configparser sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me

I would suggest to link the file instead of copy it. It is save to update. I linked the file to /usr/lib/python3/ directory.

UnicodeDecodeError when reading CSV file in Pandas with Python

In my case this worked for python 2.7:

And for python 3, only:

data = read_csv(filename, encoding = "ISO-8859-1", low_memory=False)

Rails 3 execute custom sql query without a model

I'd recommend using ActiveRecord::Base.connection.exec_query instead of ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute which returns a ActiveRecord::Result (available in rails 3.1+) which is a bit easier to work with.

Then you can access it in various the result in various ways like .rows, .each, or .to_hash

From the docs:

result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.exec_query('SELECT id, title, body FROM posts')
result # => #<ActiveRecord::Result:0xdeadbeef>


# Get the column names of the result:
result.columns
# => ["id", "title", "body"]

# Get the record values of the result:
result.rows
# => [[1, "title_1", "body_1"],
      [2, "title_2", "body_2"],
      ...
     ]

# Get an array of hashes representing the result (column => value):
result.to_hash
# => [{"id" => 1, "title" => "title_1", "body" => "body_1"},
      {"id" => 2, "title" => "title_2", "body" => "body_2"},
      ...
     ]

# ActiveRecord::Result also includes Enumerable.
result.each do |row|
  puts row['title'] + " " + row['body']
end

xxxxxx.exe is not a valid Win32 application

It's Feb 2013, and I can now target XP in VS2012 by setting:

Project Properties -> General -> Platform Toolset to:

Visual Studio 2012 - Windows XP (v110_xp)

You will have to redistribute the msvcp110.dll libraries et al with your application, which are found here: "<Program Files>\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC110.CRT\"


Update Aug 2015 with Visual Studio 2015

There seems to be quite a selection now. I was able to compile application in VS2015 using Visual Studio 2015 - Windows XP (v140_xp) setting. To make it actually run on Win XP I had to deploy (copy alongside application) msvcr100.dll for Release build and msvcr110.dll and msvcr100d.dll for Debug build (note there is a difference in numbers 100 and 110, also debug lib msvcr100d.dll may not be redistributable) Targeting Windows XP with Visual Studio 2015

Remove gutter space for a specific div only

Okay If you want to change the gutter inside one row, but want those (first and last) inner divs to align with the grid surrounding the .no-gutter row, you could copy-paste-merge most answers into the following snippet:

.row.no-gutter [class*='col-']:first-child:not(:only-child) {
    padding-right: 0;
}
.row.no-gutter [class*='col-']:last-child:not(:only-child) {
    padding-left: 0;
}
.row.no-gutter [class*='col-']:not(:first-child):not(:last-child):not(:only-child) {
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
}

If you like to have a smaller gutter instead of completly none, just change the 0's to what you like... (eg: 5px to get 10px gutter).

What does "app.run(host='0.0.0.0') " mean in Flask

To answer to your second question. You can just hit the IP address of the machine that your flask app is running, e.g. 192.168.1.100 in a browser on different machine on the same network and you are there. Though, you will not be able to access it if you are on a different network. Firewalls or VLans can cause you problems with reaching your application. If that computer has a public IP, then you can hit that IP from anywhere on the planet and you will be able to reach the app. Usually this might impose some configuration, since most of the public servers are behind some sort of router or firewall.

HTML+CSS: How to force div contents to stay in one line?

Everybody jumped on this one!!! I too made a fiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/kh4aR/

RobAgar gets a point for pointing out white-space:nowrap first.

Couple of things here, you need overflow: hidden if you don't want to see the extra characters poking out into your layout.

Also, as mentioned, you could use white-space: pre (see EnderMB) keeping in mind that pre will not collapse white space whereas white-space: nowrap will.

Why is "npm install" really slow?

I had similar problems. I was also confused by some solutions leaving me with different versions displaying for different users. If you have any problems at all, I would first check every account your using any implementation of node

Finally, this solution appears to solve this issue 100%, giving me the confidence that my versions were universal no matter what user privileges I wanted to use:

    sudo yum update

    sudo yum install build-essential checkinstall libssl-dev

    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.35.1/install.sh | bash

    (sudo) nvm --version

    (sudo) nvm ls-remote

    (sudo) nvm install [version.number] 

1

If you're still having a problem, next try looking inside your /usr/local/bin directory. If you find either a large binary document named node or a folder named npm, delete them.

    rm /usr/local/bin/node

    rm -r /usr/local/bin/npm

Personally, before I deleted those, two of my user accounts were using the latest version of node/npm installed correctly via nvm, while a third account of mine remained stubborn by still using a far older installation of both node and npm apparently located inside my /usr/local/bin/ directory. As soon as I deleted both of them with the two above commands, that problematic user account implicitly began running the correct installation, having all three accounts mutually the intended versions.

Pattern matching using a wildcard

You're on the right track - the keyword you should be googling is Regular Expressions. R does support them in a more direct way than this using grep() and a few other alternatives.

Here's a detailed discussion: http://www.regular-expressions.info/rlanguage.html

Omitting the second expression when using the if-else shorthand

Technically, putting null or 0, or just some random value there works (since you are not using the return value). However, why are you using this construct instead of the if construct? It is less obvious what you are trying to do when you write code this way, as you may confuse people with the no-op (null in your case).

convert an enum to another type of enum

If we have:

enum Gender
{
    M = 0,
    F = 1,
    U = 2
}

and

enum Gender2
{
    Male = 0,
    Female = 1,
    Unknown = 2
}

We can safely do

var gender = Gender.M;
var gender2   = (Gender2)(int)gender;

Or even

var enumOfGender2Type = (Gender2)0;

If you want to cover the case where an enum on the right side of the '=' sign has more values than the enum on the left side - you will have to write your own method/dictionary to cover that as others suggested.

How to add a second css class with a conditional value in razor MVC 4

I believe that there can still be and valid logic on views. But for this kind of things I agree with @BigMike, it is better placed on the model. Having said that the problem can be solved in three ways:

Your answer (assuming this works, I haven't tried this):

<div class="details @(@Model.Details.Count > 0 ? "show" : "hide")">

Second option:

@if (Model.Details.Count > 0) {
    <div class="details show">
}
else {
    <div class="details hide">
}

Third option:

<div class="@("details " + (Model.Details.Count>0 ? "show" : "hide"))">

Adding files to java classpath at runtime

The way I have done this is by using my own class loader

URLClassLoader urlClassLoader = (URLClassLoader) ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
DynamicURLClassLoader dynalLoader = new DynamicURLClassLoader(urlClassLoader);

And create the following class:

public class DynamicURLClassLoader extends URLClassLoader {

    public DynamicURLClassLoader(URLClassLoader classLoader) {
        super(classLoader.getURLs());
    }

    @Override
    public void addURL(URL url) {
        super.addURL(url);
    }
}

Works without any reflection

Align a div to center

This worked for me.

I included an unordered list on my page twice. One div class="menu" id="vertical" the other to be centered was div class="menu" id="horizontal". Since the list was floated left, I needed an inner div to center it. See below.

<div class=menu id="horizontal">
<div class="fix">
  Centered stuff
</div>
</div>

.menu#horizontal { display: block;  float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0 10px; position: relative; left: 50%; }
#fix { float: right; position: relative; left: -50%; margin: 0px auto; }

Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using '<pages enableEventValidation="true"/>'

I had the same problem when modifying a ListBox using JavaScript on the client. It occurs when you add new items to the ListBox from the client that were not there when the page was rendered.

The fix that I found is to inform the event validation system of all the possible valid items that can be added from the client. You do this by overriding Page.Render and calling Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation for each value that your JavaScript could add to the list box:

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
    foreach (string val in allPossibleListBoxValues)
    {
        Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(myListBox.UniqueID, val);
    }
    base.Render(writer);
}

This can be kind of a pain if you have a large number of potentially valid values for the list box. In my case I was moving items between two ListBoxes - one that that has all the possible values and another that is initially empty but gets filled in with a subset of the values from the first one in JavaScript when the user clicks a button. In this case you just need to iterate through the items in the first ListBoxand register each one with the second list box:

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
    foreach (ListItem i in listBoxAll.Items)
    {
        Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(listBoxSelected.UniqueID, i.Value);
    }
    base.Render(writer);
}

How do I sort a list of datetime or date objects?

You're getting None because list.sort() it operates in-place, meaning that it doesn't return anything, but modifies the list itself. You only need to call a.sort() without assigning it to a again.

There is a built in function sorted(), which returns a sorted version of the list - a = sorted(a) will do what you want as well.

git is not installed or not in the PATH

while @vitocorleone is technically correct. If you have already installed, there is no need to reinstall. You just need to add it to your path. You will find yourself doing this for many of the tools for the mean stack so you should get used to doing it. You don't want to have to be in the folder that holds the executable to run it.

  • Control Panel --> System and Security --> System
  • click on Advanced System Settings on the left.
  • make sure you are on the advanced tab
  • click the Environment Variables button on the bottom
  • under system variables on the bottom find the Path variable
  • at the end of the line type (assuming this is where you installed it)

    ;C:\Program Files (x86)\git\cmd

  • click ok, ok, and ok to save

This essentially tells the OS.. if you don't find this executable in the folder I am typing in, look in Path to fide where it is.

Passing arguments to C# generic new() of templated type

This will not work in your situation. You can only specify the constraint that it has an empty constructor:

public static string GetAllItems<T>(...) where T: new()

What you could do is use property injection by defining this interface:

public interface ITakesAListItem
{
   ListItem Item { set; }
}

Then you could alter your method to be this:

public static string GetAllItems<T>(...) where T : ITakesAListItem, new()
{
   ...
   List<T> tabListItems = new List<T>();
   foreach (ListItem listItem in listCollection) 
   {
       tabListItems.Add(new T() { Item = listItem });
   } 
   ...
}

The other alternative is the Func method described by JaredPar.

How to hide soft keyboard on android after clicking outside EditText?

I have refined the method, put the following code in some UI utility class(preferably, not necessarily) so that it can be accessed from all your Activity or Fragment classes to serve its purpose.

public static void serachAndHideSoftKeybordFromView(View view, final Activity act) {
    if(!(view instanceof EditText)) {
        view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                hideSoftKeyboard(act);
                return false;
            }
        });
    }
    if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
        for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
            View nextViewInHierarchy = ((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i);
            serachAndHideSoftKeybordFromView(nextViewInHierarchy, act);
        }
    }
}
public static void hideSoftKeyboard (Activity activity) {
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Then say for example you need to call it from activity, call it as follows;

UIutils.serachAndHideSoftKeybordFromView(findViewById(android.R.id.content), YourActivityName.this);

Notice

findViewById(android.R.id.content)

This gives us the root view of the current group(you mustn't have set the id on root view).

Why did Servlet.service() for servlet jsp throw this exception?

It can be caused by a classpath contamination. Check that you /WEB-INF/lib doesn't contain something like jsp-api-*.jar.

JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse

In 2015 I would go with:

  • For small scripts: The js editor + jsHint plugin
  • For large code bases: TypeScript Eclipse plugin, or a similar transpiled language... I only know that TypeScript works well in Eclipse.

Of course you may want to keep JS for easy project setup and to avoid the transpilation process... there is no ultimate solution.

Or just wait for ECMA6, 7, ... :)

Is there a Python equivalent of the C# null-coalescing operator?

Addionally to @Bothwells answer (which I prefer) for single values, in order to null-checking assingment of function return values, you can use new walrus-operator (since python3.8):

def test():
    return

a = 2 if (x:= test()) is None else x

Thus, test function does not need to be evaluated two times (as in a = 2 if test() is None else test())

I played around with nico's answer a little and it felt jumpy. Did a bit of investigation and found window.requestAnimationFrame which is a function that is called on each repaint cycle. This allows for a more clean-looking animation. Still trying to hone in on good default values for step size but for my example things look pretty good using this implementation.

var smoothScroll = function(elementId) {
    var MIN_PIXELS_PER_STEP = 16;
    var MAX_SCROLL_STEPS = 30;
    var target = document.getElementById(elementId);
    var scrollContainer = target;
    do {
        scrollContainer = scrollContainer.parentNode;
        if (!scrollContainer) return;
        scrollContainer.scrollTop += 1;
    } while (scrollContainer.scrollTop == 0);

    var targetY = 0;
    do {
        if (target == scrollContainer) break;
        targetY += target.offsetTop;
    } while (target = target.offsetParent);

    var pixelsPerStep = Math.max(MIN_PIXELS_PER_STEP,
                                 (targetY - scrollContainer.scrollTop) / MAX_SCROLL_STEPS);

    var stepFunc = function() {
        scrollContainer.scrollTop =
            Math.min(targetY, pixelsPerStep + scrollContainer.scrollTop);

        if (scrollContainer.scrollTop >= targetY) {
            return;
        }

        window.requestAnimationFrame(stepFunc);
    };

    window.requestAnimationFrame(stepFunc);
}

Use the auto keyword in C++ STL

auto keyword is intended to use in such situation, it is absolutely safe. But unfortunately it available only in C++0x so you will have portability issues with it.

Nginx 403 forbidden for all files

We had the same issue, using Plesk Onyx 17. Instead of messing up with rights etc., solution was to add nginx user into psacln group, in which all the other domain owners (users) were:

usermod -aG psacln nginx

Now nginx has rights to access .htaccess or any other file necessary to properly show the content.

On the other hand, also make sure that Apache is in psaserv group, to serve static content:

usermod -aG psaserv apache

And don't forget to restart both Apache and Nginx in Plesk after! (and reload pages with Ctrl-F5)

What is the correct way to read a serial port using .NET framework?

    using System;
    using System.IO.Ports;
    using System.Threading;

    namespace SerialReadTest
    {
        class SerialRead
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
        Console.WriteLine("Serial read init");
        SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM6", 115200, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
        port.Open();
        while(true){
          Console.WriteLine(port.ReadLine());
        }

How to make <div> fill <td> height

If you give your TD a height of 1px, then the child div would have a heighted parent to calculate it's % from. Because your contents would be larger then 1px, the td would automatically grow, as would the div. Kinda a garbage hack, but I bet it would work.

How to set up ES cluster?

It is usually handled automatically.

If autodiscovery doesn't work. Edit the elastic search config file, by enabling unicast discovery

Node 1:

    cluster.name: mycluster
    node.name: "node1"
    node.master: true
    node.data: true
    discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
    discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node1.example.com"]

Node 2:

    cluster.name: mycluster
    node.name: "node2"
    node.master: false
    node.data: true
    discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
    discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node1.example.com"]

and so on for node 3,4,5. Make node 1 master, and the rest only as data nodes.

Edit: Please note that by ES rule, if you have N nodes, then by convention, N/2+1 nodes should be masters for fail-over mechanisms They may or may not be data nodes, though.

Also, in case auto-discovery doesn't work, most probable reason is because the network doesn't allow it (and therefore disabled). If too many auto-discovery pings take place across multiple servers, the resources to manage those pings will prevent other services from running correctly.

For ex, think of a 10,000 node cluster and all 10,000 nodes doing the auto-pings.

What is difference between Implicit wait and Explicit wait in Selenium WebDriver?

Implicit waits are used to provide a default waiting time between each consecutive test step/command across the entire test script. Thus, subsequent test step would only execute when the specified amount of time have elapsed after executing the previous test step/command.

Explicit waits are used to halt the execution till the time a particular condition is met or the maximum time has elapsed. Unlike Implicit waits, Explicit waits are applied for a particular instance only.

How to get table cells evenly spaced?

In your CSS file:

.TableHeader { width: 100px; }

This will set all of the td tags below each header to 100px. You can also add a width definition (in the markup) to each individual th tag, but the above solution would be easier.

Enable tcp\ip remote connections to sql server express already installed database with code or script(query)

I tested below code with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and I believe we should have solution for all 6 steps you outlined. Let's take on them one-by-one:

1 - Enable TCP/IP

We can enable TCP/IP protocol with WMI:

set wmiComputer = GetObject( _
    "winmgmts:" _
    & "\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10")
set tcpProtocols = wmiComputer.ExecQuery( _
    "select * from ServerNetworkProtocol " _
    & "where InstanceName = 'SQLEXPRESS' and ProtocolName = 'Tcp'")

if tcpProtocols.Count = 1 then
    ' set tcpProtocol = tcpProtocols(0)
    ' I wish this worked, but unfortunately 
    ' there's no int-indexed Item property in this type

    ' Doing this instead
    for each tcpProtocol in tcpProtocols
        dim setEnableResult
            setEnableResult = tcpProtocol.SetEnable()
            if setEnableResult <> 0 then 
                Wscript.Echo "Failed!"
            end if
    next
end if

2 - Open the right ports in the firewall

I believe your solution will work, just make sure you specify the right port. I suggest we pick a different port than 1433 and make it a static port SQL Server Express will be listening on. I will be using 3456 in this post, but please pick a different number in the real implementation (I feel that we will see a lot of applications using 3456 soon :-)

3 - Modify TCP/IP properties enable a IP address

We can use WMI again. Since we are using static port 3456, we just need to update two properties in IPAll section: disable dynamic ports and set the listening port to 3456:

set wmiComputer = GetObject( _
    "winmgmts:" _
    & "\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10")
set tcpProperties = wmiComputer.ExecQuery( _
    "select * from ServerNetworkProtocolProperty " _
    & "where InstanceName='SQLEXPRESS' and " _
    & "ProtocolName='Tcp' and IPAddressName='IPAll'")

for each tcpProperty in tcpProperties
    dim setValueResult, requestedValue

    if tcpProperty.PropertyName = "TcpPort" then
        requestedValue = "3456"
    elseif tcpProperty.PropertyName ="TcpDynamicPorts" then
        requestedValue = ""
    end if

    setValueResult = tcpProperty.SetStringValue(requestedValue)
    if setValueResult = 0 then 
        Wscript.Echo "" & tcpProperty.PropertyName & " set."
    else
        Wscript.Echo "" & tcpProperty.PropertyName & " failed!"
    end if
next

Note that I didn't have to enable any of the individual addresses to make it work, but if it is required in your case, you should be able to extend this script easily to do so.

Just a reminder that when working with WMI, WBEMTest.exe is your best friend!

4 - Enable mixed mode authentication in sql server

I wish we could use WMI again, but unfortunately this setting is not exposed through WMI. There are two other options:

  1. Use LoginMode property of Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server class, as described here.

  2. Use LoginMode value in SQL Server registry, as described in this post. Note that by default the SQL Server Express instance is named SQLEXPRESS, so for my SQL Server 2008 R2 Express instance the right registry key was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer.

5 - Change user (sa) default password

You got this one covered.

6 - Finally (connect to the instance)

Since we are using a static port assigned to our SQL Server Express instance, there's no need to use instance name in the server address anymore.

SQLCMD -U sa -P newPassword -S 192.168.0.120,3456

Please let me know if this works for you (fingers crossed!).

Replace HTML Table with Divs

Please be aware that although tables are discouraged as a primary means of page layout, they still have their place. Tables can and should be used when and where appropriate and until some of the more popular browsers (ahem, IE, ahem) become more standards compliant, tables are sometimes the best route to a solution.

CSV new-line character seen in unquoted field error

This is an error that I faced. I had saved .csv file in MAC OSX.

How do I change the value of a global variable inside of a function

Just reference the variable inside the function; no magic, just use it's name. If it's been created globally, then you'll be updating the global variable.

You can override this behaviour by declaring it locally using var, but if you don't use var, then a variable name used in a function will be global if that variable has been declared globally.

That's why it's considered best practice to always declare your variables explicitly with var. Because if you forget it, you can start messing with globals by accident. It's an easy mistake to make. But in your case, this turn around and becomes an easy answer to your question.

How to get all table names from a database?

public static ArrayList<String> getTablesList(Connection conn)
            throws SQLException {

        ArrayList<String> listofTable = new ArrayList<String>();

        DatabaseMetaData md = conn.getMetaData();

        ResultSet rs = md.getTables(null, null, "%", null);

        while (rs.next()) {
            if (rs.getString(4).equalsIgnoreCase("TABLE")) {
                listofTable.add(rs.getString(3));
            }
        }
        return listofTable;
    }

Create a new line in Java's FileWriter

Since 1.8, I thought this might be an additional solution worth adding to the responses:

Path java.nio.file.Files.write(Path path, Iterable lines, OpenOption... options) throws IOException

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(jTextField1.getText());
sb.append(jTextField2.getText());
sb.append(System.lineSeparator());
Files.write(Paths.get("file.txt"), sb.toString().getBytes());

If appending to the same file, perhaps use an Append flag with Files.write()

Files.write(Paths.get("file.txt"), sb.toString().getBytes(), StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

set div height using jquery (stretch div height)

The correct way to do this is with good-old CSS:

#content{
    width:100%;
    position:absolute;
    top:35px;
    bottom:35px;
}

And the bonus is that you don't need to attach to the window.onresize event! Everything will adjust as the document reflows. All for the low-low price of four lines of CSS!

ng-change not working on a text input

First at all i'm seing your code and you haven't any controller. So i suggest that you use a controller. I think you have to use a controller because your variable {{myStyle}} isn't compile because the 2 curly brace are visible and they shouldn't.

Second you have to use ng-model for your input, this directive will bind the value of the input to your variable.

Cannot execute RUN mkdir in a Dockerfile

The problem is that /var/www doesn't exist either, and mkdir isn't recursive by default -- it expects the immediate parent directory to exist.

Use:

mkdir -p /var/www/app

...or install a package that creates a /var/www prior to reaching this point in your Dockerfile.

Update Fragment from ViewPager

If you use Kotlin, you can do the following:

1. On first, you should be create Interface and implemented him in your Fragment

interface RefreshData {
    fun refresh()
}

class YourFragment : Fragment(), RefreshData {
    ...
    override fun refresh() {
        //do what you want
    }
}

2. Next step is add OnPageChangeListener to your ViewPager

viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(object : ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
    override fun onPageScrollStateChanged(state: Int) { }

    override fun onPageSelected(position: Int) {
        viewPagerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
        viewPager.currentItem = position
    }

    override fun onPageScrolled(position: Int, positionOffset: Float, positionOffsetPixels: Int) { }
})

3. override getItemPosition in your Adapter

override fun getItemPosition(obj: Any): Int {
    if (obj is RefreshData) {
        obj.refresh()
    }
    return super.getItemPosition(obj)
}

How to get span tag inside a div in jQuery and assign a text?

Best algorithm for detecting cycles in a directed graph

As you said, you have set of jobs, it need to be executed in certain order. Topological sort given you required order for scheduling of jobs(or for dependency problems if it is a direct acyclic graph). Run dfs and maintain a list, and start adding node in the beginning of the list, and if you encountered a node which is already visited. Then you found a cycle in given graph.

How to place two divs next to each other?

  1. Add float:left; property in both divs.

  2. Add display:inline-block; property.

  3. Add display:flex; property in parent div.

Storing and Retrieving ArrayList values from hashmap

The modern way (as of 2020) to add entries to a multimap (a map of lists) in Java is:

map.computeIfAbsent("apple", k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(2);
map.computeIfAbsent("apple", k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(3);

According to Map.computeIfAbsent docs:

If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped to null), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map unless null.

Returns: the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key, or null if the computed value is null

The most idiomatic way to iterate a map of lists is using Map.forEach and Iterable.forEach:

map.forEach((k, l) -> l.forEach(v -> /* use k and v here */));

Or, as shown in other answers, a traditional for loop:

for (Map.Entry<String, List<Integer>> e : map.entrySet()) {
    String k = e.getKey();
    for (Integer v : e.getValue()) {
        /* use k and v here */
    }
}

Remove blank values from array using C#

I write below code to remove the blank value in the array string.

string[] test={"1","","2","","3"};
test= test.Except(new List<string> { string.Empty }).ToArray();

How can I run PowerShell with the .NET 4 runtime?

PowerShell (the engine) runs fine under .NET 4.0. PowerShell (the console host and the ISE) do not, simply because they were compiled against older versions of .NET. There's a registry setting that will change the .NET framework loaded systemwide, which will in turn allow PowerShell to use .NET 4.0 classes:

reg add hklm\software\microsoft\.netframework /v OnlyUseLatestCLR /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add hklm\software\wow6432node\microsoft\.netframework /v OnlyUseLatestCLR /t REG_DWORD /d 1

To update just the ISE to use .NET 4.0, you can change the configuration ($psHome\powershell_ise.exe.config) file to have a chunk like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <startup>
      <supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319" />
    </startup>
</configuration>

You can build .NET 4.0 applications that call PowerShell using the PowerShell API (System.Management.Automation.PowerShell) just fine, but these steps will help get the in-the-box PowerShell hosts to work under .NET 4.0.


Remove the registry keys when you don't need them any more. These are machine-wide keys and forcibly migrate ALL applications to .NET 4.0, even applications using .net 2 and .net 3.5


How to insert strings containing slashes with sed?

sed is the stream editor, in that you can use | (pipe) to send standard streams (STDIN and STDOUT specifically) through sed and alter them programmatically on the fly, making it a handy tool in the Unix philosophy tradition; but can edit files directly, too, using the -i parameter mentioned below.
Consider the following:

sed -i -e 's/few/asd/g' hello.txt

s/ is used to substitute the found expression few with asd:

The few, the brave.


The asd, the brave.

/g stands for "global", meaning to do this for the whole line. If you leave off the /g (with s/few/asd/, there always needs to be three slashes no matter what) and few appears twice on the same line, only the first few is changed to asd:

The few men, the few women, the brave.


The asd men, the few women, the brave.

This is useful in some circumstances, like altering special characters at the beginnings of lines (for instance, replacing the greater-than symbols some people use to quote previous material in email threads with a horizontal tab while leaving a quoted algebraic inequality later in the line untouched), but in your example where you specify that anywhere few occurs it should be replaced, make sure you have that /g.

The following two options (flags) are combined into one, -ie:

-i option is used to edit in place on the file hello.txt.

-e option indicates the expression/command to run, in this case s/.

Note: It's important that you use -i -e to search/replace. If you do -ie, you create a backup of every file with the letter 'e' appended.

indexOf Case Sensitive?

Just to sum it up, 3 solutions:

  • using toLowerCase() or toUpperCase
  • using StringUtils of apache
  • using regex

Now, what I was wondering was which one is the fastest? I'm guessing on average the first one.

Very Simple Image Slider/Slideshow with left and right button. No autoplay

After reading your comment on my previous answer I thought I might put this as a separate answer.

Although I appreciate your approach of trying to do it manually to get a better grasp on jQuery I do still emphasise the merit in using existing frameworks.

That said, here is a solution. I've modified some of your css and and HTML just to make it easier for me to work with

WORKING JS FIDDLE - http://jsfiddle.net/HsEne/15/

This is the jQuery

$(document).ready(function(){
$('.sp').first().addClass('active');
$('.sp').hide();    
$('.active').show();

    $('#button-next').click(function(){

    $('.active').removeClass('active').addClass('oldActive');    
                   if ( $('.oldActive').is(':last-child')) {
        $('.sp').first().addClass('active');
        }
        else{
        $('.oldActive').next().addClass('active');
        }
    $('.oldActive').removeClass('oldActive');
    $('.sp').fadeOut();
    $('.active').fadeIn();


    });

       $('#button-previous').click(function(){
    $('.active').removeClass('active').addClass('oldActive');    
           if ( $('.oldActive').is(':first-child')) {
        $('.sp').last().addClass('active');
        }
           else{
    $('.oldActive').prev().addClass('active');
           }
    $('.oldActive').removeClass('oldActive');
    $('.sp').fadeOut();
    $('.active').fadeIn();
    });




});

So now the explanation.
Stage 1
1) Load the script on document ready.

2) Grab the first slide and add a class 'active' to it so we know which slide we are dealing with.

3) Hide all slides and show active slide. So now slide #1 is display block and all the rest are display:none;

Stage 2 Working with the button-next click event.
1) Remove the current active class from the slide that will be disappearing and give it the class oldActive so we know that it is on it's way out.

2) Next is an if statement to check if we are at the end of the slideshow and need to return to the start again. It checks if oldActive (i.e. the outgoing slide) is the last child. If it is, then go back to the first child and make it 'active'. If it's not the last child, then just grab the next element (using .next() ) and give it class active.

3) We remove the class oldActive because it's no longer needed.

4) fadeOut all of the slides

5) fade In the active slides

Step 3

Same as in step two but using some reverse logic for traversing through the elements backwards.

It's important to note there are thousands of ways you can achieve this. This is merely my take on the situation.

best way to create object

If you think less code means more efficient, so using construct function is better. You also can use code like:

Person p=new Person(){
Name='abc',
Age=15
}

What are naming conventions for MongoDB?

Until we get SERVER-863 keeping the field names as short as possible is advisable especially where you have a lot of records.

Depending on your use case, field names can have a huge impact on storage. Cant understand why this is not a higher priority for MongoDb, as this will have a positive impact on all users. If nothing else, we can start being more descriptive with our field names, without thinking twice about bandwidth & storage costs.

Plot two histograms on single chart with matplotlib

Inspired by Solomon's answer, but to stick with the question, which is related to histogram, a clean solution is:

sns.distplot(bar)
sns.distplot(foo)
plt.show()

Make sure to plot the taller one first, otherwise you would need to set plt.ylim(0,0.45) so that the taller histogram is not chopped off.

Is it possible to have SSL certificate for IP address, not domain name?

The answer I guess, is yes. Check this link for instance.

Issuing an SSL Certificate to a Public IP Address

An SSL certificate is typically issued to a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) such as "https://www.domain.com". However, some organizations need an SSL certificate issued to a public IP address. This option allows you to specify a public IP address as the Common Name in your Certificate Signing Request (CSR). The issued certificate can then be used to secure connections directly with the public IP address (e.g., https://123.456.78.99.).

How to decorate a class?

There's actually a pretty good implementation of a class decorator here:

https://github.com/agiliq/Django-parsley/blob/master/parsley/decorators.py

I actually think this is a pretty interesting implementation. Because it subclasses the class it decorates, it will behave exactly like this class in things like isinstance checks.

It has an added benefit: it's not uncommon for the __init__ statement in a custom django Form to make modifications or additions to self.fields so it's better for changes to self.fields to happen after all of __init__ has run for the class in question.

Very clever.

However, in your class you actually want the decoration to alter the constructor, which I don't think is a good use case for a class decorator.
