You can do a lot without going nuts on 3rd-party products and mshtml (i.e. interop). use the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser. From there, you can do such things as "GetElementById" on an HtmlDocument or "GetElementsByTagName" on HtmlElements. If you want to actually inteface with the browser (simulate button clicks for example), you can use a little reflection (imo a lesser evil than Interop) to do it:

var wb = new WebBrowser()

... tell the browser to navigate (tangential to this question). Then on the Document_Completed event you can simulate clicks like this.

var doc = wb.Browser.Document
var elem = doc.GetElementById(elementId);
object obj = elem.DomElement;
System.Reflection.MethodInfo mi = obj.GetType().GetMethod("click");
mi.Invoke(obj, new object[0]);

you can do similar reflection stuff to submit forms, etc.

Enjoy.

I just use whatever strikes my fancy at the time; it's convenient to be able to switch between the two at a whim!

Of course, when quoting quote characetrs, switching between the two might not be so whimsical after all...

There is a gotcha with consts! If you reference a constant from another assembly, its value will be compiled right into the calling assembly. That way when you update the constant in the referenced assembly it won't change in the calling assembly!

Use a good XSD Schema to create a set of classes with xsd.exe and use an XmlSerializer to create a object tree out of your XML and vice versa. If you have few restrictions on your model, you could even try to create a direct mapping between you model classes and the XML with the Xml*Attributes.

There is an introductory article about XML Serialisation on MSDN.

Performance tip: Constructing an XmlSerializer is expensive. Keep a reference to your XmlSerializer instance if you intend to parse/write multiple XML files.

You can do it without any interruption, with the new (Git 2.0 Q2 2014) setting gc.autodetach.

See commit 4c4ac4d and commit 9f673f9 (Nguy?n Thái Ng?c Duy, aka pclouds):

gc --auto takes time and can block the user temporarily (but not any less annoyingly).
Make it run in background on systems that support it.
The only thing lost with running in background is printouts. But gc output is not really interesting.
You can keep it in foreground by changing gc.autodetach.

Since that 2.0 release, there was a bug though: git 2.7 (Q4 2015) will make sure to not lose the error message.
See commit 329e6e8 (19 Sep 2015) by Nguy?n Thái Ng?c Duy (pclouds).
^{(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 076c827, 15 Oct 2015)}

gc: save log from daemonized gc --auto and print it next time

While commit 9f673f9 (gc: config option for running --auto in background - 2014-02-08) helps reduce some complaints about 'gc --auto' hogging the terminal, it creates another set of problems.

The latest in this set is, as the result of daemonizing, stderr is closed and all warnings are lost. This warning at the end of cmd_gc() is particularly important because it tells the user how to avoid "gc --auto" running repeatedly.
Because stderr is closed, the user does not know, naturally they complain about 'gc --auto' wasting CPU.

Daemonized gc now saves stderr to $GIT_DIR/gc.log.
Following gc --auto will not run and gc.log printed out until the user removes gc.log.

So this is both simple but a slightly more complicated topic than it seems.

First off there are usually to conflated questions here

1. How to get element relative mouse coordinates

2. How to get canvas pixel mouse coordinates for the 2D Canvas API or WebGL

so, answers

How to get element relative mouse coordinates

Whether or not the element is a canvas getting element relative mouse coordinates is the same for all elements.

There are 2 simple answers to the question "How to get canvas relative mouse coordinates"

Simple answer #1 use offsetX and offsetY

canvas.addEventListner('mousemove', (e) => {
  const x = e.offsetX;
  const y = e.offsetY;
});

This answer works in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Unlike all the other event values offsetX and offsetY take CSS transforms into account.

The biggest problem with offsetX and offsetY is as of 2019/05 they don't exist on touch events and so can't be used with iOS Safari. They do exist on Pointer Events which exist in Chrome and Firefox but not Safari although apparently Safari is working on it.

Another issue is the events must be on the canvas itself. If you put them on some other element or the window you can not later choose the canvas to be your point of reference.

Simple answer #2 use clientX, clientY and canvas.getBoundingClientRect

If you don't care about CSS transforms the next simplest answer is to call canvas. getBoundingClientRect() and subtract the left from clientX and top from clientY as in

canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
  const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
  const x = e.clientX - rect.left;
  const y = e.clientY - rect.top;
});

This will work as long as there are no CSS transforms. It also works with touch events and so will work with Safari iOS

canvas.addEventListener('touchmove', (e) => {
  const rect = canvas. getBoundingClientRect();
  const x = e.touches[0].clientX - rect.left;
  const y = e.touches[0].clientY - rect.top;
});

How to get canvas pixel mouse coordinates for the 2D Canvas API

For this we need to take the values we got above and convert from the size the canvas is displayed to the number of pixels in the canvas itself

with canvas.getBoundingClientRect and clientX and clientY

canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
  const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
  const elementRelativeX = e.clientX - rect.left;
  const elementRelativeY = e.clientY - rect.top;
  const canvasRelativeX = elementRelativeX * canvas.width / rect.width;
  const canvasRelativeY = elementRelativeY * canvas.height / rect.height;
});

or with offsetX and offsetY

canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
  const elementRelativeX = e.offsetX;
  const elementRelativeY = e.offsetY;
  const canvasRelativeX = elementRelativeX * canvas.width / canvas.clientWidth;
  const canvasRelativeY = elementRelativeY * canvas.height / canvas.clientHeight;
});

Note: In all cases do not add padding or borders to the canvas. Doing so will massively complicate the code. Instead of you want a border or padding surround the canvas in some other element and add the padding and or border to the outer element.

Working example using event.offsetX, event.offsetY

<div>canvas deliberately has differnt CSS size vs drawingbuffer size</div>

An easy way to do with HTML+CSS:

TEXT A <b>text b</b>

<h1>text b</h1>

<style>
    h1 { /* the css style */}
    h1:before {content:"text A (p.e.first word) with different style";    
    display:"inline";/* the different css style */}
</style>

I know it's a bit too late but how about this?

var obj = function(){
    var pr = "private";
    var prt = Object.getPrototypeOf(this);
    if(!prt.hasOwnProperty("showPrivate")){
        prt.showPrivate = function(){
            console.log(pr);
        }
    }    
}

var i = new obj();
i.showPrivate();
console.log(i.hasOwnProperty("pr"));

Then ran:

public string CreatePassword(int length)
{
        const string valid = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890";
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (0 < length--)

            res.Append(valid[rnd.Next(valid.Length)]);
        }
        return res.ToString();
}

This has a good benefit of being able to choose from a list of available characters for the generated password (e.g. digits only, only uppercase or only lowercase etc.)

From New-style and classic classes:

Up to Python 2.1, old-style classes were the only flavour available to the user.

The concept of (old-style) class is unrelated to the concept of type: if x is an instance of an old-style class, then x.__class__ designates the class of x, but type(x) is always <type 'instance'>.

This reflects the fact that all old-style instances, independently of their class, are implemented with a single built-in type, called instance.

New-style classes were introduced in Python 2.2 to unify the concepts of class and type. A new-style class is simply a user-defined type, no more, no less.

If x is an instance of a new-style class, then type(x) is typically the same as x.__class__ (although this is not guaranteed – a new-style class instance is permitted to override the value returned for x.__class__).

The major motivation for introducing new-style classes is to provide a unified object model with a full meta-model.

It also has a number of immediate benefits, like the ability to subclass most built-in types, or the introduction of "descriptors", which enable computed properties.

For compatibility reasons, classes are still old-style by default.

New-style classes are created by specifying another new-style class (i.e. a type) as a parent class, or the "top-level type" object if no other parent is needed.

The behaviour of new-style classes differs from that of old-style classes in a number of important details in addition to what type returns.

Some of these changes are fundamental to the new object model, like the way special methods are invoked. Others are "fixes" that could not be implemented before for compatibility concerns, like the method resolution order in case of multiple inheritance.

Python 3 only has new-style classes.

No matter if you subclass from object or not, classes are new-style in Python 3.

echo "body" | mail -S [email protected] "Hello"

-S lets you specify lots of string options, by far the easiest way to modify headers and such.

YAJSW (Yet Another Java Service Wrapper) looks like it has JNA-based implementations of its org.rzo.yajsw.os.TaskList interface for win32, linux, bsd and solaris and is under an LGPL license. I haven't tried calling this code directly, but YAJSW works really well when I've used it in the past, so you shouldn't have too many worries.

I thought that Structs was intended as a Data Structure (like a multi-data type array of information) and classes was inteded for Code Packaging (like collections of subroutines & functions)..

:(

It means that $objPage is not an instance of an object. Can we see the code you used to initialize the variable?

As you expect a specific object type, you can also make use of PHPs type-hinting feature^Docs to get the error when your logic is violated:

function page_properties(PageAtrributes $objPortal) {    
    ...
    $objPage->set_page_title($myrow['title']);
}

This function will only accept PageAtrributes for the first parameter.

Quick update to mid 2015:

You can use the Postgres Foreign Data interface, to store the files in more suitable database. For example put the files in a GridFS which is part of MongoDB. Then use https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/mongo_fdw to access it in Postgres.

That has the advantages, that you can access/read/write/backup it in Postrgres and MongoDB, depending on what gives you more flexiblity.

There are also foreign data wrappers for file systems: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers#File_Wrappers

As an example you can use this one: https://multicorn.readthedocs.org/en/latest/foreign-data-wrappers/fsfdw.html (see here for brief usage example)

That gives you the advantage of the consistency (all linked files are definitely there) and all the other ACIDs, while there are still on the actual file system, which means you can use any file system you want and the webserver can serve them directly (OS caching applies too).

I want to select the distinct values from one column 'GrondOfLucht' but they should be sorted in the order as given in the column 'sortering'. I cannot get the distinct values of just one column using

Select distinct GrondOfLucht,sortering
from CorWijzeVanAanleg
order by sortering

It will also give the column 'sortering' and because 'GrondOfLucht' AND 'sortering' is not unique, the result will be ALL rows.

use the GROUP to select the records of 'GrondOfLucht' in the order given by 'sortering

SELECT        GrondOfLucht
FROM            dbo.CorWijzeVanAanleg
GROUP BY GrondOfLucht, sortering
ORDER BY MIN(sortering)

You have to explicitly cast the string types to the same in order to concatenate them, In your case you may solve the issue by simply addig an 'N' in front of 'SomeText' (N'SomeText'). If that doesn't work, try Cast('SomeText' as nvarchar(8)).

Have a look on one of your own credit cards. It'll have some text like EXPIRES END or VALID THRU above the date. So the card expires at the end of the given month.

The reason I encounter this issue is because I change the build configuration. When I set a web project to x86, it changes the output path to bin\x86\Debug. However, the output path should be bin and the web server won't find the binaries because of this.

The solution thus is to change the output path of the website back to bin after you change the build configuration.

Adam Pierce's answer provides an hand-spun tokenizer taking in a const char*. It's a bit more problematic to do with iterators because incrementing a string's end iterator is undefined. That said, given string str{ "The quick brown fox" } we can certainly accomplish this:

auto start = find(cbegin(str), cend(str), ' ');
vector<string> tokens{ string(cbegin(str), start) };

while (start != cend(str)) {
    const auto finish = find(++start, cend(str), ' ');

    tokens.push_back(string(start, finish));
    start = finish;
}

Live Example

If you're looking to abstract complexity by using standard functionality, as On Freund suggests strtok is a simple option:

vector<string> tokens;

for (auto i = strtok(data(str), " "); i != nullptr; i = strtok(nullptr, " ")) tokens.push_back(i);

If you don't have access to C++17 you'll need to substitute data(str) as in this example: http://ideone.com/8kAGoa

Though not demonstrated in the example, strtok need not use the same delimiter for each token. Along with this advantage though, there are several drawbacks:

1. strtok cannot be used on multiple strings at the same time: Either a nullptr must be passed to continue tokenizing the current string or a new char* to tokenize must be passed (there are some non-standard implementations which do support this however, such as: strtok_s)
2. For the same reason strtok cannot be used on multiple threads simultaneously (this may however be implementation defined, for example: Visual Studio's implementation is thread safe)
3. Calling strtok modifies the string it is operating on, so it cannot be used on const strings, const char*s, or literal strings, to tokenize any of these with strtok or to operate on a string who's contents need to be preserved, str would have to be copied, then the copy could be operated on

c++20 provides us with split_view to tokenize strings, in a non-destructive manner: https://topanswers.xyz/cplusplus?q=749#a874

The previous methods cannot generate a tokenized vector in-place, meaning without abstracting them into a helper function they cannot initialize const vector<string> tokens. That functionality and the ability to accept any white-space delimiter can be harnessed using an istream_iterator. For example given: const string str{ "The quick \tbrown \nfox" } we can do this:

istringstream is{ str };
const vector<string> tokens{ istream_iterator<string>(is), istream_iterator<string>() };

Live Example

The required construction of an istringstream for this option has far greater cost than the previous 2 options, however this cost is typically hidden in the expense of string allocation.

If none of the above options are flexable enough for your tokenization needs, the most flexible option is using a regex_token_iterator of course with this flexibility comes greater expense, but again this is likely hidden in the string allocation cost. Say for example we want to tokenize based on non-escaped commas, also eating white-space, given the following input: const string str{ "The ,qu\\,ick ,\tbrown, fox" } we can do this:

const regex re{ "\\s*((?:[^\\\\,]|\\\\.)*?)\\s*(?:,|$)" };
const vector<string> tokens{ sregex_token_iterator(cbegin(str), cend(str), re, 1), sregex_token_iterator() };

Live Example

I used a combination of the answers from rohancragg, Mukul Goel, and NullSoulException from above. However I had an additional error:

Many answers here! What I use without reinventing the wheel - the most famous plugins (that are not going to die any time soon and are used by many people) to be ultra fast and geeky.

• ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim - to find file by name fuzzy search by its location or just its name
• jlanzarotta/bufexplorer - to browse opened buffers (when you do not remember how many files you opened and modified recently and you do not remember where they are, probably because you searched for them with Ag)
• rking/ag.vim to search the files with respect to gitignore
• scrooloose/nerdtree to see the directory structure, lookaround, add/delete/modify files

EDIT: Recently I have been using dyng/ctrlsf.vim to search with contextual view (like Sublime search) and I switched the engine from ag to ripgrep. The performance is outstanding.

EDIT2: Along with CtrlSF you can use mg979/vim-visual-multi, make changes to multiple files at once and then at the end save them in one go.

It's a metasyntactic variable.

alias gbc="git branch --no-color | sed -e '/^[^\*]/d' -e 's/* \\(.*\\)/\1/'"

alias gbl='git log -p master..\`gbc\`'

See a branch's unique commits:

gbl

From python3 onwards you can use

a == []

to check if the list is empty

EDIT : This works with python2.7 too..

I am not sure why there are so many complicated answers. It's pretty clear and straightforward

Beware! In Java, the use of InetAddress and related classes (Inet4Address, Inet6Address, URL) may involve network trafic! E.g. DNS resolving (URL.equals, InetAddress from string!). This call may take long and is blocking!

For IPv6 I have something like this. This of course does not handle the very subtle details of IPv6 like that zone indices are allowed only on some classes of IPv6 addresses. And this regex is not written for group capturing, it is only a "matches" kind of regexp.

S - IPv6 segment = [0-9a-f]{1,4}

I - IPv4 = (?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9]{1,2})\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9]{1,2})

Schematic (first part matches IPv6 addresses with IPv4 suffix, second part matches IPv6 addresses, last patrt the zone index):

(
(
::(S:){0,5}|
S::(S:){0,4}|
(S:){2}:(S:){0,3}|
(S:){3}:(S:){0,2}|

I usually use SQLAlchemy. It's pretty powerful and is probably the most mature python ORM.

If you're planning on using CherryPy, you might also look into dejavu as it's by Robert Brewer (the guy that is the current CherryPy project leader). I personally haven't used it, but I do know some people that love it.

SQLObject is a little bit easier to use ORM than SQLAlchemy, but it's not quite as powerful.

Personally, I wouldn't use the Django ORM unless I was planning on writing the entire project in Django, but that's just me.

Taken from The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python (Line Continuation):

When a logical line of code is longer than the accepted limit, you need to split it over multiple physical lines. The Python interpreter will join consecutive lines if the last character of the line is a backslash. This is helpful in some cases, but should usually be avoided because of its fragility: a white space added to the end of the line, after the backslash, will break the code and may have unexpected results.

A better solution is to use parentheses around your elements. Left with an unclosed parenthesis on an end-of-line the Python interpreter will join the next line until the parentheses are closed. The same behaviour holds for curly and square braces.

However, more often than not, having to split a long logical line is a sign that you are trying to do too many things at the same time, which may hinder readability.

Having that said, here's an example considering multiple imports (when exceeding line limits, defined on PEP-8), also applied to strings in general:

from app import (
    app, abort, make_response, redirect, render_template, request, session
)

Reason:

Your second URL is considered an absolute path, The Combine method will only return the last path if the last path is an absolute path.

Solution: Just remove the starting slash / of your second Path (/SecondPath to SecondPath). Then it works as you excepted.

new List<int> { 1, 3, 5 }.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);

During the dark ages of SQL in the 1990s it was a good practice as the SQL designers were trying to add each word in the dictionary as keyword for endless avalanche of new features and they called it the SQL3 draft.

So it keeps forward compatibility.

And i found that it has another nice side effect, it helps a lot when you use grep in code reviews and refactoring.

A more succinct VB.Net version...is very nice. Thank you. To traverse the list in reverse order, add the reverse method...

For Each fi As IO.FileInfo In filePaths.reverse
  ' Do whatever you wish here

I find my solution adequate for the retrieval of the location.

var executingAssembly = new FileInfo((Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)).Directory.FullName;

It's not exactly the answer to this question but I dealt with this problem with the Shift + Win + [left,right] arrow keys shortcut. You can move the currently active window to another monitor with it.

Just as a reminder, newer versions of git has the restore command, which also is a suggestion when typing git status when you have changed files:

(use "git add ..." to update what will be committed)

(use "git restore ..." to discard changes in working directory)

So git 'restore' is the modern solution to this. It is always a good idea to read the suggestions from git after typing 'git status' :-)

Chaco from enthought is another option

Much of the other answers provide shallow sizes - e.g. the size of a HashMap without any of the keys or values, which isn't likely what you want.

The jamm project uses the java.lang.instrumentation package above but walks the tree and so can give you the deep memory use.

new MemoryMeter().measureDeep(myHashMap);

https://github.com/jbellis/jamm

To use MemoryMeter, start the JVM with "-javaagent:/jamm.jar"

Using the links posted in the previous answers, I coded a little example in C++ using a Virtual Serial Port. I pushed the code into GitHub: https://github.com/cymait/virtual-serial-port-example .

The code is pretty self explanatory. First, you create the master process by running ./main master and it will print to stderr the device is using. After that, you invoke ./main slave device, where device is the device printed in the first command.

And that's it. You have a bidirectional link between the two process.

Using this example you can test you the application by sending all kind of data, and see if it works correctly.

Also, you can always symlink the device, so you don't need to re-compile the application you are testing.

There isn't a single solution on here which takes into account that a palindrome can also be based on word units, not just character units.

Which means that none of the given solutions return true for palindromes like "Girl, bathing on Bikini, eyeing boy, sees boy eyeing bikini on bathing girl".

Here's a hacked together version in C#. I'm sure it doesn't need the regexes, but it does work just as well with the above bikini palindrome as it does with "A man, a plan, a canal-Panama!".

    static bool IsPalindrome(string text)
    {
        bool isPalindrome = IsCharacterPalindrome(text);
        if (!isPalindrome)
        {
            isPalindrome = IsPhrasePalindrome(text);
        }
        return isPalindrome;
    }

    static bool IsCharacterPalindrome(string text)
    {
        String clean = Regex.Replace(text.ToLower(), "[^A-z0-9]", String.Empty, RegexOptions.Compiled);
        bool isPalindrome = false;
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(clean) && clean.Length > 1)
        {
            isPalindrome = true;
            for (int i = 0, count = clean.Length / 2 + 1; i < count; i++)
            {
                if (clean[i] != clean[clean.Length - 1 - i])
                {
                    isPalindrome = false; break;
                }
            }
        }
        return isPalindrome;
    }

    static bool IsPhrasePalindrome(string text)
    {
        bool isPalindrome = false;
        String clean = Regex.Replace(text.ToLower(), @"[^A-z0-9\s]", " ", RegexOptions.Compiled).Trim();
        String[] words = Regex.Split(clean, @"\s+");
        if (words.Length > 1)
        {
            isPalindrome = true;
            for (int i = 0, count = words.Length / 2 + 1; i < count; i++)
            {
                if (words[i] != words[words.Length - 1 - i])
                {
                    isPalindrome = false; break;
                }
            }
        }
        return isPalindrome;
    }

Actually, the easiest way is

char* ext;
ext = strrchr(filename,'.') 

One thing to remember: if '.' doesn't exist in filename, ext will be NULL.

How about PlantUML? It's not for reverse engineering!!! It's for engineering before you code.

For me the answer was that I was passing two parameters to and execute SQL task, but only using one. I was doing some testing and commented out a section of code using the second parameter. I neglected to remove the parameter mapping.

So ensure you are passing in the correct number of parameters in the parameter mapping if you are using the Execute SQL task.

I don't know if I'd call it production-ready, but there's jGABL.

import os
os.path.abspath(os.path.expanduser(os.path.expandvars(PathNameString)))

Note that expanduser is necessary (on Unix) in case the given expression for the file (or directory) name and location may contain a leading ~/(the tilde refers to the user's home directory), and expandvars takes care of any other environment variables (like $HOME).

The following script set the sequence to a desired value:

Given a freshly created sequence named PCS_PROJ_KEY_SEQ and table PCS_PROJ:

BEGIN
   DECLARE
      PROJ_KEY_MAX       NUMBER := 0;
      PROJ_KEY_CURRVAL   NUMBER := 0;
   BEGIN

    SELECT MAX (PROJ_KEY) INTO PROJ_KEY_MAX FROM PCS_PROJ;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SEQUENCE PCS_PROJ_KEY_SEQ INCREMENT BY ' || PROJ_KEY_MAX;
    SELECT PCS_PROJ_KEY_SEQ.NEXTVAL INTO PROJ_KEY_CURRVAL FROM DUAL;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SEQUENCE PCS_PROJ_KEY_SEQ INCREMENT BY 1';

END;
END;

if you work on linux OS ,there is a command line file --mimetype:

String mimetype(file){

   //1. run cmd
   Object cmd=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("file --mime-type "+file);

   //2 get output of cmd , then 
    //3. parse mimetype
    if(output){return output.split(":")[1].trim(); }
    return "";
}

Then

mimetype("/home/nyapp.war") //  'application/zip'

mimetype("/var/www/ggg/au.mp3") //  'audio/mp3'

A slightly different approach that may or may not be useful for you.

I'm in php.

The project this relates to will never have a date prior to the 1st of January 2008. So, I take the 'date' inputed and use strtotime(). If the answer is >= 1199167200 then I have a date that is useful to me. If something that doesn't look like a date is entered -1 is returned. If null is entered it does return today's date number so you do need a check for a non-null entry first.

Works for my situation, perhaps yours too?

var str = ['v','a','da','c','k','l']
var b = str.join('').split('').sort().reverse().join('')
console.log(b)

You might be able to pull this off. You can take a look at this question, for a simpler example. The complexity comes, when you start comparing the dates. It may be easy to tell if the date is greater or not, but there are many situations to consider if you need to actually get the difference between two dates.

In other words - don't try to invent this, unless you really can't use the third party tools.

As mentioned here: Re: BUG #4243: Idle in transaction it is probably best to check your pg_locks table to see what is being locked and that might give you a better clue where the problem lies.

Or do a non-recursive checkout of /trunk, then just do a manual update on the 3 directories you need.

You can quote the entire path as in windows or you can escape the spaces like in:

/foo\ folder\ with\ space/foo.sh -help

Both ways will work!

What implicit conversions are going on here,

i will be converted to an unsigned integer.

and is this code safe for all values of u and i?

Safe in the sense of being well-defined yes (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/50632/5083516 ).

The rules are written in typically hard to read standards-speak but essentially whatever representation was used in the signed integer the unsigned integer will contain a 2's complement representation of the number.

Addition, subtraction and multiplication will work correctly on these numbers resulting in another unsigned integer containing a twos complement number representing the "real result".

division and casting to larger unsigned integer types will have well-defined results but those results will not be 2's complement representations of the "real result".

(Safe, in the sense that even though result in this example will overflow to some huge positive number, I could cast it back to an int and get the real result.)

While conversions from signed to unsigned are defined by the standard the reverse is implementation-defined both gcc and msvc define the conversion such that you will get the "real result" when converting a 2's complement number stored in an unsigned integer back to a signed integer. I expect you will only find any other behaviour on obscure systems that don't use 2's complement for signed integers.

From this thread, there are different ways to do this:

double r = 5.1234;
System.out.println(r); // r is 5.1234

int decimalPlaces = 2;
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(r);

// setScale is immutable
bd = bd.setScale(decimalPlaces, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
r = bd.doubleValue();

System.out.println(r); // r is 5.12

f = (float) (Math.round(n*100.0f)/100.0f);

DecimalFormat df2 = new DecimalFormat( "#,###,###,##0.00" );
double dd = 100.2397;
double dd2dec = new Double(df2.format(dd)).doubleValue();

// The value of dd2dec will be 100.24

The DecimalFormat() seems to be the most dynamic way to do it, and it is also very easy to understand when reading others code.

This should work:

import os,sys
filename=os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[0]))
dirname=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[0]))

I think the simplest answer is a parameter expansion of the original variable:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )"
echo "opt1; original answer: $DIR"
echo ''

echo "opt2; simple answer  : ${BASH_SOURCE[0]%/*}"

It should produce output like:

$ /var/tmp/test.sh
opt1; original answer: /var/tmp

opt2; simple answer  : /var/tmp

The variable/parameter expansion ${BASH_SOURCE[0]%/*}" seems much easier to maintain.

Have you considered just doing whatever you want to do in the if rather than looking before you leap?

I.e., if you want to check for the existence of a directory before you enter it, try just doing this:

if pushd /path/you/want/to/enter; then
    # Commands you want to run in this directory
    popd
fi

If the path you give to pushd exists, you'll enter it and it'll exit with 0, which means the then portion of the statement will execute. If it doesn't exist, nothing will happen (other than some output saying the directory doesn't exist, which is probably a helpful side-effect anyways for debugging).

It seems better than this, which requires repeating yourself:

if [ -d /path/you/want/to/enter ]; then
    pushd /path/you/want/to/enter
    # Commands you want to run in this directory
    popd
fi

The same thing works with cd, mv, rm, etc... if you try them on files that don't exist, they'll exit with an error and print a message saying it doesn't exist, and your then block will be skipped. If you try them on files that do exist, the command will execute and exit with a status of 0, allowing your then block to execute.

I use a utility function I wrote. Its name is somewhat misleading because it kind of implies it might be a random item or something like that.

def anyitem(iterable):
    try:
        return iter(iterable).next()
    except StopIteration:
        return None

Create a global variable in and apply the value

<script>
       var isPostBack = <%=Convert.ToString(Page.IsPostBack).ToLower()%>;
</script>

Then you can reference it from elsewhere

Thanks, all, for the help. Picking from here and there comes this solution. This compiles clean. Have not tested the code yet. Tomorrow... maybe...

const char * timeServer[] = { "pool.ntp.org" }; // 0 - Worldwide 
#define WHICH_NTP            0 // Which NTP server name to use.
...
sendNTPpacket(const_cast<char*>(timeServer[WHICH_NTP])); // send an NTP packet to a server
...
void sendNTPpacket(char* address) { code }

I know, there's only 1 item in the timeServer array. But there could be more. The rest were commented out for now to save memory.

CHAR takes up less storage space than VARCHAR if all your data values in that field are the same length. Now perhaps in 2009 a 800GB database is the same for all intents and purposes as a 810GB if you converted the VARCHARs to CHARs, but for short strings (1 or 2 characters), CHAR is still a industry "best practice" I would say.

Now if you look at the wide variety of data types most databases provide even for integers alone (bit, tiny, int, bigint), there ARE reasons to choose one over the other. Simply choosing bigint every time is actually being a bit ignorant of the purposes and uses of the field. If a field simply represents a persons age in years, a bigint is overkill. Now it's not necessarily "wrong", but it's not efficient.

But its an interesting argument, and as databases improve over time, it could be argued CHAR vs VARCHAR does get less relevant.

SELECT @@VERSION

As of this posting it looks like TradeKing is working on an API. Not sure what the future of it is though.

For me the best way to do this is:

.container{
  position: relative;
}

.element{
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

The advantage is not having to make the height explicit

Here is an SQL request to do that:

select column_name, count(1)
from table
group by column_name
having count (column_name) > 1;

I'm assuming you're using your own array types as opposed to the built-in .NET arrays:

public string[] merge(input1, input2)
{
    string[] output = new string[input1.length + input2.length];
    for(int i = 0; i < output.length; i++)
    {
        if (i >= input1.length)
            output[i] = input2[i-input1.length];
        else
            output[i] = input1[i];
    }
    return output;
}

Another way of doing this would be using the built in ArrayList class.

public ArrayList merge(input1, input2)
{
    Arraylist output = new ArrayList();
    foreach(string val in input1)
        output.add(val);
    foreach(string val in input2)
        output.add(val);
    return output;
}

Both examples are C#.

1. Go to the visual studio toolbar and click on the dropdown next to CPU (where it says IIS Express in the screenshot). One of the choices should be "Browse With..."

   

2. Select a browser, e.g. Google Chrome, then click Set as Default

   

3. Click Browse or Cancel.

Use Visual Basic to loop through worksheets and save .csv files.

1. Open up .xlsx file in Excel.

2. Press option+F11

3. Insert ? Module

4. Insert this into the module code:

   Public Sub SaveWorksheetsAsCsv()
   
    Dim WS As Excel.Worksheet
    Dim SaveToDirectory As String
   
    SaveToDirectory = "./"
   
    For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
       WS.SaveAs SaveToDirectory & WS.Name & ".csv", xlCSV
    Next
   
   End Sub
   

5. Find your .csv files in ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Excel/Data.

   open ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Excel/Data
   

6. Close .xlsx file.

7. Rinse and repeat for other .xlsx files.

The following query replace each and every a character with a b character.

UPDATE

This will not work on SQL server 2003.

It should respond to ActionListeners, like this:

combo.addActionListener (new ActionListener () {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        doSomething();
    }
});

@John Calsbeek rightly points out that addItemListener() will work, too. You may get 2 ItemEvents, though, one for the deselection of the previously selected item, and another for the selection of the new item. Just don't use both event types!

watch only breaks on write, rwatch let you break on read, and awatch let you break on read/write.

You can set read watchpoints on memory locations:

gdb$ rwatch *0xfeedface
Hardware read watchpoint 2: *0xfeedface

but one limitation applies to the rwatch and awatch commands; you can't use gdb variables in expressions:

gdb$ rwatch $ebx+0xec1a04f
Expression cannot be implemented with read/access watchpoint.

So you have to expand them yourself:

gdb$ print $ebx 
$13 = 0x135700
gdb$ rwatch *0x135700+0xec1a04f
Hardware read watchpoint 3: *0x135700 + 0xec1a04f
gdb$ c
Hardware read watchpoint 3: *0x135700 + 0xec1a04f

Value = 0xec34daf
0x9527d6e7 in objc_msgSend ()

Edit: Oh, and by the way. You need either hardware or software support. Software is obviously much slower. To find out if your OS supports hardware watchpoints you can see the can-use-hw-watchpoints environment setting.

gdb$ show can-use-hw-watchpoints
Debugger's willingness to use watchpoint hardware is 1.

Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Path.Combine(Environment.SystemDirectory, "xcopy.exe");
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"C:\source C:\destination /E /I";
proc.Start();

Your xcopy arguments may vary but you get the idea.

Here is a generic solution using a helper method. This can also handle an enum of any underlying type (byte, sbyte, uint, long, etc.)

Helper Method:

static IEnumerable<object> GetEnum<T>() {
    var type    = typeof(T);
    var names   = Enum.GetNames(type);
    var values  = Enum.GetValues(type);
    var pairs   =
        Enumerable.Range(0, names.Length)
        .Select(i => new {
                Name    = names.GetValue(i)
            ,   Value   = values.GetValue(i) })
        .OrderBy(pair => pair.Name);
    return pairs;
}//method

View Model:

public IEnumerable<object> EnumSearchTypes {
    get {
        return GetEnum<SearchTypes>();
    }
}//property

ComboBox:

<ComboBox
    SelectedValue       ="{Binding SearchType}"
    ItemsSource         ="{Binding EnumSearchTypes}"
    DisplayMemberPath   ="Name"
    SelectedValuePath   ="Value"
/>

muPdf library looks very promising: http://mupdf.com/

There is also an open source viewer: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-reader.html

Recently, I used this .NET Metadata API. I have also written a blog post about it, that shows reading, updating, and removing the EXIF data from images using C#.

using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata("image.jpg"))
{
    IExif root = metadata.GetRootPackage() as IExif;
    if (root != null && root.ExifPackage != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(root.ExifPackage.DateTime);
     }
}

An other very good documentation tool is sphinx. It will be used for the upcoming python 2.6 documentation and is used by django and a lot of other python projects.

From the sphinx website:

• Output formats: HTML (including Windows HTML Help) and LaTeX, for printable PDF versions
• Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
• Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children
• Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index
• Code handling: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter
• Extensions: automatic testing of code snippets, inclusion of docstrings from Python modules, and more

I think the right answer is a combination of Steve Morgan's and Serguei's answers. That's how Internet Explorer does it. The pinvoke call to FindMimeFromData works for only 26 hard-coded mime types. Also, it will give ambigous mime types (such as text/plain or application/octet-stream) even though there may exist a more specific, more appropriate mime type. If it fails to give a good mime type, you can go to the registry for a more specific mime type. The server registry could have more up-to-date mime types.

I like to go over a code the person actually wrote and have them explain it to me.

GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();  
GraphicsDevice[] screens = ge.getScreenDevices();       
Rectangle allScreenBounds = new Rectangle();  
for (GraphicsDevice screen : screens) {  
       Rectangle screenBounds = screen.getDefaultConfiguration().getBounds();        
       allScreenBounds.width += screenBounds.width;  
       allScreenBounds.height = Math.max(allScreenBounds.height, screenBounds.height);
       allScreenBounds.x=Math.min(allScreenBounds.x, screenBounds.x);
       allScreenBounds.y=Math.min(allScreenBounds.y, screenBounds.y);
      } 
Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage bufferedImage = robot.createScreenCapture(allScreenBounds);
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\Joe\\Desktop\\scr.png");
if(!file.exists())
    file.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
ImageIO.write( bufferedImage, "png", fos );

bufferedImage will contain a full screenshot, this was tested with three monitors

window.opener=window;
window.close();

Prestaul's answer was helpful, but it didn't quite work for me. The jQuery way to select an object by id didn't work. I had to use

document.getElementById("a").className

instead of

$("#a").className

My issue was that I forgot to put the .hbm in the name of the mapping xml. Also make sure you make it an embedded resource!

AFAIK comment 57807 is wrong and should be something like: var hex = Number(d).toString(16); instead of var hex = parseInt(d, 16);

function decimalToHex(d, padding) {
    var hex = Number(d).toString(16);
    padding = typeof (padding) === "undefined" || padding === null ? padding = 2 : padding;

    while (hex.length < padding) {
        hex = "0" + hex;
    }

    return hex;
}

A neat trick I discovered is that if you go to "Add existing...", you can drag the folder from the open dialog to your solution.

I have my Visual Studio to open in Admin Mode automatically, so this was a good workaround for me as I didn't want to have to undo that just to get this to work.

adjust the background-position to move background images in different positions of the div

div { 
       background-image: url('image url')
       background-position: 0 -250px; 
    }

Quite Old question, but I want to share what I have done to calculate age

    Declare @BirthDate As DateTime
Set @BirthDate = '1994-11-02'

SELECT DATEDIFF(YEAR,@BirthDate,GETDATE()) - (CASE 
WHEN MONTH(@BirthDate)> MONTH(GETDATE()) THEN 1 
WHEN MONTH(@BirthDate)= MONTH(GETDATE()) AND DAY(@BirthDate) > DAY(GETDATE()) THEN 1 
Else 0 END)

I have an analogy for references and pointers, think of references as another name for an object and pointers as the address of an object.

// receives an alias of an int, an address of an int and an int value
public void my_function(int& a,int* b,int c){
    int d = 1; // declares an integer named d
    int &e = d; // declares that e is an alias of d
    // using either d or e will yield the same result as d and e name the same object
    int *f = e; // invalid, you are trying to place an object in an address
    // imagine writting your name in an address field 
    int *g = f; // writes an address to an address
    g = &d; // &d means get me the address of the object named d you could also
    // use &e as it is an alias of d and write it on g, which is an address so it's ok
}

INSERT INTO DestTable
SELECT * FROM SourceTable
WHERE ... 

works in SQL Server

I have a rough rule-of-thumb

Functionality: likely to be different in all parts: Interface.

Data, and functionality, parts will be mostly the same, parts different: abstract class.

Data, and functionality, actually working, if extended only with slight changes: ordinary (concrete) class

Data and functionality, no changes planned: ordinary (concrete) class with final modifier.

Data, and maybe functionality: read-only: enum members.

This is very rough and ready and not at all strictly defined, but there is a spectrum from interfaces where everything is intended to be changed to enums where everything is fixed a bit like a read-only file.

Some addendum:
I wonder why didn't anybody write about the Invariant , preconditions and post conditions of the base class that must be obeyed by the derived classes. For a derived class D to be completely sustitutable by the Base class B, class D must obey certain conditions:

• In-variants of base class must be preserved by the derived class
• Pre-conditions of the base class must not be strengthened by the derived class
• Post-conditions of the base class must not be weakened by the derived class.

So the derived must be aware of the above three conditions imposed by the base class. Hence, the rules of subtyping are pre-decided. Which means, 'IS A' relationship shall be obeyed only when certain rules are obeyed by the subtype. These rules, in the form of invariants, precoditions and postcondition, should be decided by a formal 'design contract'.
