Reshape data from wide to long (Creating Panel Data)

I downloaded data from data stream Refinitiv. The data is in wide format which resulted in too many variables (761). I only want to form 8 variables.


How can I do that in Stata?


enter image description here


I wrote this syntax
reshape long Date variable, i(date) j(UVBKP, PCHUVBKP1D, UVBKPA, UVBKPB, UVBKTNA, UVBKNAV, UVBKPH, UVBKPL)



but I don't know why it says
variable date not found
```

Configure and Display a Schedule of Opening Hours in PHP

---



Opening Hours is a PHP package by Spatie to query and format a set of business operating hours. You can use it to present the times per day and include exceptions for things like holidays and other days off on a given year-specific date or recurring (happening each year). The project's readme file has this example to illustrate how you can configure hours:
$openingHours = OpeningHours::create([
'monday' => ['09:00-12:00', '13:00-18:00'],
'tuesday' => ['09:00-12:00', '13:00-18:00'],
'wednesday' => ['09:00-12:00'],
'thursday' => ['09:00-12:00', '13:00-18:00'],
'friday' => ['09:00-12:00', '13:00-20:00'],
'saturday' => ['09:00-12:00', '13:00-16:00'],
'sunday' => [],
'exceptions' => [
'2016-11-11' => ['09:00-12:00'],
'2016-12-25' => [],
'01-01' => [], // Recurring on each 1st of January
'12-25' => ['09:00-12:00'], // Recurring on each 25th of December
],
]);

// This will allow you to display things like:

$now = new DateTime('now');
$range = $openingHours->currentOpenRange($now);

if ($range) {
echo "It's open since ".$range->start()."\n";
echo "It will close at ".$range->end()."\n";
} else {
echo "It's closed since ".$openingHours->previousClose($now)->format('l H:i')."\n";
echo "It will re-open at ".$openingHours->nextOpen($now)->format('l H:i')."\n";
}




This package has tons of configuration options and can be used on any PHP project without any dependencies. While this package isn't a brand-new Spatie package, we've never covered it and think you should check it out! You can get setup instructions and see more API examples on GitHub at spatie/opening-hours.


If you'd like to learn more background information on why this package as created, Freek Van der Herten originally wrote about it on his blog: Managing opening hours with PHP.

searching a list in a list model in flutter

I have been working on a LLM-like very simple project in Flutter. I need to find a string list, for example "what is my lecture score" in a list data. But the order doesn't matter.
If my search finds the "what", "is", "my", "lecture", "score" in one of the sentence list in any order, the result will be true, otherwise false.


Here is my sentence list as a List:
class vaModel {
final int id;
final List stringData;
final String response;

vaModel({
required this.id,
required this.stringData,
required this.response,
});
}



and here is the data of this model:
import "package:flut2deneme/pages/vaModel.dart";

List vaData = [
vaModel(id: 1, stringData: ["what", "my", "score", "lecture"], response: "load1"),
vaModel(id: 2, stringData: ["total", "lectures", "hours", "week"], response: "load2"),
vaModel(id: 3, stringData: ["how", "much", "cost"], response: "load3"),
//other
];



for example, if the user enters "what my score is for this lecture", it will return "load1" in id:1 in the vaData list. Because however the order is different and it has more other words, the desired words (what, my, score, lecture) are found in the data list. As seen, there are other words in the received sentence and the words are not in given order, the result is true, since all required words exist in item 1 (id:1)


It may also be explained in searching a list in a list of List.


Thank you for any support.

Laravel 10.26 Released

---



This week, the Laravel team released v10.26 with a search feature for the Artisan vendor:publish command, array cache expiry updates, more.


This week was a smaller release, but we get an excellent vendor:publish update that makes finding providers and tags a breeze! Laravel also saw some fixes and a few reverts leading us to Laravel 10.26.2. Thanks again for all the contributions from the Laravel team and the community!


Allow Searching on the vendor:publish prompt




Jess Archer contributed filtering the vendor:publish command to quickly search for providers and tags that you would like to publish. You can also select all providers and tags from the dropdown:





Ensure array cache considers milliseconds




In Laravel 10.25, Tim MacDonald contributed an update to ensure that array cache driver values expire at the expiry time; however, there were some testing issues around this update (which was reverted) and now in larval 10.26, those issues are all sorted. We would encourage you to update to the latest Laravel 10.26 version if you noticed any array cache driver flakiness, and thank you to Tim MacDonald for sorting it all out!


See Pull Request #48573 if you're interested in the updates made around that driver to ensure it honors expiry time.

Why I choose Inertia over Livewire

Hi, back when Livewire was first announced I gave it a try. I was excited, but I felt like the way it's hydrated doesn't fulfill my needs. Then I found Inertia and got excited again. Even tho it doesn't allow me to use Laravel's helpers I feel like I have full control and that's what I need.

Now that Livewire v3 came about, it looks much better and I had to try it again, to see if I could use it for my future projects. Wire:navigate is so amazing, but I just tested the very thing that made me leave the first time.

If it's a skill issue on my part, well, I'm a fool, will eat my critique and be happy that I was using Livewire wrong and can start using it properly now.

Let me demonstrate:

Model: class File extends Model { protected $appends = ['rand']; protected $fillable = ['name']; public function getRandAttribute() { return rand(1, 100); } }

Livewire Component: class Test extends Component { public $count = 1; // public $files = []; public function mount() { // $this->files = File::all(); } public function do() { $this->count++; } public function render() { return view('livewire.test')->with([ 'files' => File::all(), ]); } }

Livewire Blade: {{ $count }} @foreach ($files as $file) {{ $file->name }} {{ $file->rand }} @endforeach

I tested both commented and `with()` options, but both had same result. On every click, which only increases the count, the `rand` value changed.

Now you might see what's my problem. If the rand attribute was s3 file getter, I'm paying for every rerender.


https://i.redd.it/46gzkg08t5sb1.gif

So, is this doable in Livewire with different approach, or does it have to be like this? submitted by /u/narrei

I want to have the Fibonacci sequence returned with commas between the numbers

def get_fibonacci_sequence(num: int) -> str:
'''
Function to return string with fibonacci sequence

first_term = 0

result = ''

for sequence in range(num):
result += str(first_term)
nth_term = first_term + second_term
first_term = second_term
second_term = nth_term
return(result)



I tried adding (+ ',') in the loop where I convert the numbers to a string and it works but not the way I want it to.


'0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,'


I want to get rid of the comma after 21

How do I create a lexical dispersion plot in pyspark with seaborn?

I'm trying to make a lexical dispersion plot that maps out when words in a certain 'top ten' list are used over time through a column of strings in a Pysparks data frame (another column has their relevant dates).


I've got my dataframe at the moment with the texts, their dates, and the words used in each.


my dataframe


As it is, my plot has a row for each individual text with a list of the words in it, when what I'm after is a row for each key word, mapping the instances in which it appears in texts over time...


This is the kind of thing I'm after, vs what I'm getting...


the type of thing I'm after


how my plot is coming out


Here's a function which I use to return words from my list which are present in a given description:
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from pyspark.sql.functions import split, udf

top_ten = [row['word'] for row in top_ten_words]

punctuation = ',?!./\#@"[]'

@udf
def top_ten_list(description):
'''
function to return the key words which are present in a certain description string
'''
list_of_words = description.split(" ")
out_data = []

for word in list_of_words:
word = word.lower()
if word.strip(punctuation) in top_ten:
out_data.append(word)
else:
pass

return str(out_data)




I then run that function on my column with the following:
descriptions_with_top10 = descriptions_by_date.withColumn('top_tenners', top_ten_list(descriptions_by_date.description))



Here's my code so far to make my plot. I know I need something different in the y-axis but I'm just not sure how to word it so as to get what I'm after...
# make df into pandas df to plot with seaborn
top_ten_words_in_descriptions_df = descriptions_with_top10.toPandas()

# plot dispersion plot
top_ten_plot = sns.stripplot(data = top_ten_words_in_descriptions_df, x = "published_date", y = "top_tenners", orient='h', marker='X', color='navy', size=3)

# rotate x tick labels
plt.xticks(rotation=15)

# remove borders of plot
plt.tight_layout()

plt.show()




I want it to have each word just once in the y-axis, as in this image: enter image description here, with each keyword just once, with all its occurrences marked, rather than the list of keywords for each description string.


I hope that makes some sense to someone; any help would be very welcome :)

oracle developer_ importing different forms of date in one column

I am trying to import the date columns with different types of date format. table name: fD column name: TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME this column has two forms of the date like below. date type1: 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' date type2: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS' not surprisingly, SQL developer(oracle) cannot import this column as a DATE type. I aim to unify these forms as 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI.' What I did was I import it as a VARCHAR2 type and try to write very complicate and difficult(?) query... and then I read someone wrote here that do not import date type data as a VARCHAR2 because of this. Then, is there any idea that I can import this column successfully? or I need to import it as a VARCHAR2 type and write down complicate query? (and I do not know this query either.. haha) this is what I did when I imported it as a VARCHAR2. ''' with DT as( select TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME from fD ) select TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME, replace(to_char(to_date(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME, case when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{1}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{1}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{1}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{1}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{1}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI' when regexp_like(TRANS_DATE_TRANS_TIME,'[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}') then 'MM/DD/yyyy HH24:MI' end), 'MM/DD/yyyy HH24:MI'),'') as newT from DT; '''

Livewire (+Filament) & debugging

I've worked with different frameworks quite a bit, recently mostly Laravel. There are many things I love about Laravel and quite a few pet peeves. Recently adopted Filament and I love the power, hate the lack of documentation (especially lacking source code documentation almost entirely). Filament is speeding up many things while radically slowing other things, especially when learning it. I've used Livewire in the past and love it. With Filament, everything is built on top of Livewire which has its benefits and at least one downside: debugging has become increasingly difficult. Your stack trace has 100 lines and it's very hard to understand what's going wrong. How are you approaching this aspect of debugging / development with Livewire? submitted by /u/lionmeetsviking [link] [comments]

How to rebuild a graph on an html page based on the result of selecting data in the wtform form in a flash application?

Optional Dependency in VBA Module

Background I am developing a VBA module (call it "Greg") for VBA developers of Excel UDFs. The purpose of Greg is to enhance the experience for the end user, who uses those UDFs in Excel. The developer must simply copy a snippet into their own module (call it "Dev"). If Greg is loaded, the snippet enhances Dev's behavior. Otherwise, it has no impact on behavior, but it does prompt the Excel user to import Greg.bas. Approach Here is a simplified sketch of Greg.bas... Attribute VB_Name = "Greg" ' Keep these functions invisible to Excel users. Option Private Module ' Enhancement function. Public Function Enhancer(Optional x) ' ... End Function ' Assert the 'Greg' module is loaded. Public Function IsLoaded() As Boolean IsLoaded = True End Function ...and of Dev.bas: Attribute VB_Name = "Dev" ' Some UDF by the dev. Public Function DevRegular() ' ... End Function ' ############# ' ## Snippet ## ' ############# ' Use the enhancer, if available via the 'Greg' module. Public Function DevEnhanced(Optional x) If Enhance_IsSupported() Then DevEnhanced = Greg.Enhancer(x) Else DevEnhanced = DevRegular() ' Prompt the user to import the enhancer. MsgBox "Import the 'Greg' module to enhance your experience." End If End Function ' Check if enhancement is supported via the 'Greg' module. Private Function Enhance_IsSupported() As Boolean On Error GoTo Fail Enhance_IsSupported = Greg.IsLoaded() Exit Function Fail: Enhance_IsSupported = False End Function Problem While this has worked sporadically on Windows, it has often failed there and always on Mac. The crux seems to be Enhance_IsSupported() within Dev: Private Function Enhance_IsSupported() As Boolean On Error GoTo Fail Enhance_IsSupported = Greg.IsLoaded() Exit Function Fail: Enhance_IsSupported = False End Function I assumed that the line Greg.IsLoaded() would compile, even if there were no Greg module present...and it does! It only fails when a Greg module exists without a member called IsLoaded(). Unfortunately, it seems that VBA does not reliably refresh its "awareness" of a Greg module with an IsLoaded() function. When I import Greg.bas and Dev.bas together, everything works as intended: Enhance_IsSupported() returns True, and it updates to False if Greg is removed. But when I first import Dev.bas and run DevEnhanced(), and only afterwards import Greg.bas, then Enhance_IsSupported() apparently returns False despite the presence of Greg. Note This latter workflow is absolutely essential: an Excel user must first run DevEnhanced() and see the prompt, in order to know about Greg.bas in the first place! Failed Solutions Unfortunately, no experimentation has availed. In Greg itself, I have tried using a constant... Public Const IS_LOADED As Boolean = True ...and also a procedure: Public Function IsLoaded() As Boolean IsLoaded = True End Function In the snippet for Dev, I have implicitly tried Application.Evaluate()... Private Function Enhance_IsSupported() As Boolean On Error GoTo Fail Enhance_IsSupported = [Greg.IsLoaded()] ' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ' Application.Evaluate("Greg.IsLoaded()") Exit Function Fail: Enhance_IsSupported = False End Function ...but while this works for Enhance_IsSupported() itself, the same error simply crops up elsewhere — like whack-a-mole at other instances of Greg.* — and only a manual edit will "refresh" those procedures. I would also prefer to avoid unstable calls to any .Evaluate() method, even in the Worksheet scope. Questions * What is the simplest way to "refresh" the Dev module, such that its procedures now recognize the calls to Greg.*? * Is this possible without resetting cached or Static variables in Dev? * Can this be done with an IS_LOADED constant rather than an IsLoaded() procedure? Bonus * Can this refreshment be done by some Sub like Dev.Refresh(), called automatically at the start of Enhance_IsSupported()? * Can this refreshment be done by some Sub like Greg.Refresh(), as run manually by the user in the VBA editor? --- This project represents a great investment of my time and energy, and it is otherwise operational, so your help is greatly appreciated in conquering this final obstacle!
