Make vi appearance to be "real programming IDE"

"why not just use IDE or something like gedit?"

I had that question long ago and that made me stick to GEdit and other IDEs. However, when I have to do some works on files in server, I just realise that I have to familiarise myself to command-based editor. And, that's the beginning for me to know vi.

When I open it, the appearance is so boring. No line number, no syntax color. So, I decided to make at least that two things to make vi to be IDE like. Hahaha... Here's what I did:

$ vi ~/.vimrc

then type these lines in vimrc file

set number 

syntax on

colorscheme desert

====
set number will add line number on the left part of vi

syntax on will add colour of the syntax

colorscheme desert will set the colour scheme to be "desert"

That's it. I hope I can add some more customization of vi in the future. I feel that I am falling in love for the second time. Oh, vi... I love you.

Find JIRA issues mentioned in Confluence Page

I have been walking through a lot of pages in internet but have not found any answer except one. However, the answer is not complete, so I will share my experience here. This feature is very useful, especially to summarize the issues found during certain tests, where the tests are reported in a confluence page. I found that there are so many questions about this, but Atlassian seems does not want to bother with this request. I found one way to do this by the following tricks Take one JIRA issue that related to the target confluence page (in this case, say it is GET-895) Find the global ID of a JIRA issue: http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink It will show the JSON like this: [{"id":28293,"self":"http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink/28293","globalId":"appId=662e1ccf-94da-3121-96ae-053d90587b29&pageId=105485659","application":{...

If and For in Wolfram Mathematica (with examples)

IF Condition in Wolfram Mathematica The syntax is as follows xxxxxxxxxx If [ condition , what to do if true , what to do if false ] Some examples Example 1. Simple command x x = - 3 ; If [ x < 0 , - x , x ] 3 Example 2. If condition in a function abs [ x_ ] := If [ x < 0 , - x , x ] abs /@ { - 3 , 2 , 0 , - 2 } { 3 , 2 , 0 , 2 }   For in Wolfram Mathematica The syntax is as follows For [ start , test , inc , what to do ] Some examples Example 1. Simple Loop xxxxxxxxxx For [ i = 0 , i < 4 , i ++, Print [ i ]] 0 1 2 3 Example 2. Another simple loop For [ i = 10 , i > 0 , i --, Print [ i ]] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Example 3. Print list a = { 10 , 3 , 9 , 2 } For [ i = 1 , i < 5 , i ++, Print [ a [[ i ]]]] 10 3 9 2  

Android studio in ubuntu - problem: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE.

I love coding, especially Java. Because Android apps is written in Java, I would love to make one as well. Unfortunately, when I tried to install Android Studio on my Ubuntu yesterday, I got this error message: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE. When I google on this error, there are so many websites and forums discuss about this error as well as the solutions. However, in linux (or ubuntu in my case), sometime we have different environment so that the solution will not always work (sometimes we have to do another thing before or after that solution). And this also happen in this case. Here are what I did then: 1. Know what exactly the problem is: the problem is that the JAVA_HOME in my system did not point to JDK. Instead, it points to a JRE. JRE can only be used to run java applications, not to build them. 2. Check the java path used by the system. In terminal, I typed the following: ...
