A reason that’s both technical and historical is that text protocols are almost always preferred in the Unix world. Well, this is not really a reason but a pattern. The rationale behind this is that text protocols allows you to see what’s going on on the network by just dumping everything that goes through. You … Read more
The –binary option is used when you create the patch file, not when you apply it. That means, instead of your current git diff branch1 branch2 > patch-file, you have to do this instead: git diff branch1 branch2 –binary > patch-file. And, then, apply the patch with git apply patch-file in the same way as … Read more
You could actually load the file into a string and search that string for the byte sequence 0xffc0 using the str.find() method. It works for any byte sequence. The code to do this depends on a couple things. If you open the file in binary mode and you’re using Python 3 (both of which are … Read more
I think you use Python 3 . 1.Opening a file in binary mode is simple but subtle. The only difference from opening it in text mode is that the mode parameter contains a ‘b’ character. …….. 4.Here’s one difference, though: a binary stream object has no encoding attribute. That makes sense, right? You’re reading (or … Read more
This finds all non-text based, binary, and empty files. Edit Solution with only grep (from Mehrdad’s comment): grep -rIL . Original answer This does not require any other tool except find and grep: find . -type f -exec grep -IL . “{}” \; -I tells grep to assume binary files as unmatched -L prints only … Read more
Having been through this a couple of times with commercial products, I think the very best answer is to use the native installer for each supported platform. Anything else produces an unpleasant experience for the end-user, and in practice you have to test on every platform you want to support anyway, so it’s not really … Read more
11 is binary representation of 3. The binary representation of this value is 2 bits. 3 = 20 * 1 + 21 * 1 You can use String.PadLeft(Int, Char) method to add these zeros. // convert number 3 to binary string. // And pad ‘0’ to the left until string will be not less then … Read more
The precision is fixed, which is exactly 53 binary digits for double-precision (or 52 if we exclude the implicit leading 1). This comes out to about 15 decimal digits. The OP asked me to elaborate on why having exactly 53 binary digits means “about” 15 decimal digits. To understand this intuitively, let’s consider a less-precise … Read more
You can use int and set the base to 2 (for binary): >>> binary = raw_input(‘enter a number: ‘) enter a number: 11001 >>> int(binary, 2) 25 >>> However, if you cannot use int like that, then you could always do this: binary = raw_input(‘enter a number: ‘) decimal = 0 for digit in binary: … Read more
By default, jQuery serializes the data (passed in data property) – and it means 0xFD008001 number gets passed to the server as ‘4244668417’ string (10 bytes, not 4), that’s why the server treats it not as expected. It’s necessary to prevent such behaviour by setting $.ajax property processData to false: By default, data passed in … Read more
