Programs & Examples On #3270

The 3270 protocol was designed in the 1970s to communicate between "green screen" terminals and IBM mainframes. 3270 terminals are no longer manufactured; the protocol lives on in emulator software used to access IBM mainframe services that do not yet have web (or other) interfaces.

Angular2 get clicked element id

There is no need to pass the entire event (unless you need other aspects of the event than you have stated). In fact, it is not recommended. You can pass the element reference with just a little modification.

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <button #btn1 (click)="toggle(btn1)" class="someclass" id="btn1">Button 1</button>
    <button #btn2 (click)="toggle(btn2)" class="someclass" id="btn2">Button 2</button>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  buttonValue: string;

  toggle(button) {
    this.buttonValue = button.id;
  }

}

StackBlitz demo

Technically, you don't need to find the button that was clicked, because you have passed the actual element.

How to query for Xml values and attributes from table in SQL Server?

I don't understand why some people are suggesting using cross apply or outer apply to convert the xml into a table of values. For me, that just brought back way too much data.

Here's my example of how you'd create an xml object, then turn it into a table.

(I've added spaces in my xml string, just to make it easier to read.)

DECLARE @str nvarchar(2000)

SET @str = ''
SET @str = @str + '<users>'
SET @str = @str + '  <user>'
SET @str = @str + '     <firstName>Mike</firstName>'
SET @str = @str + '     <lastName>Gledhill</lastName>'
SET @str = @str + '     <age>31</age>'
SET @str = @str + '  </user>'
SET @str = @str + '  <user>'
SET @str = @str + '     <firstName>Mark</firstName>'
SET @str = @str + '     <lastName>Stevens</lastName>'
SET @str = @str + '     <age>42</age>'
SET @str = @str + '  </user>'
SET @str = @str + '  <user>'
SET @str = @str + '     <firstName>Sarah</firstName>'
SET @str = @str + '     <lastName>Brown</lastName>'
SET @str = @str + '     <age>23</age>'
SET @str = @str + '  </user>'
SET @str = @str + '</users>'

DECLARE @xml xml
SELECT @xml = CAST(CAST(@str AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS XML) 

--  Iterate through each of the "users\user" records in our XML
SELECT 
    x.Rec.query('./firstName').value('.', 'nvarchar(2000)') AS 'FirstName',
    x.Rec.query('./lastName').value('.', 'nvarchar(2000)') AS 'LastName',
    x.Rec.query('./age').value('.', 'int') AS 'Age'
FROM @xml.nodes('/users/user') as x(Rec)

And here's the output:

Fastest way to add an Item to an Array

For those who didn't know what next, just add new module file and put @jor code (with my little hacked, supporting 'nothing' array) below.

Module ArrayExtension
    <Extension()> _
    Public Sub Add(Of T)(ByRef arr As T(), item As T)
        If arr IsNot Nothing Then
            Array.Resize(arr, arr.Length + 1)
            arr(arr.Length - 1) = item
        Else
            ReDim arr(0)
            arr(0) = item
        End If

    End Sub
End Module

Extract regression coefficient values

To answer your question, you can explore the contents of the model's output by saving the model as a variable and clicking on it in the environment window. You can then click around to see what it contains and what is stored where.

Another way is to type yourmodelname$ and select the components of the model one by one to see what each contains. When you get to yourmodelname$coefficients, you will see all of beta-, p, and t- values you desire.

How does facebook, gmail send the real time notification?

The way Facebook does this is pretty interesting.

A common method of doing such notifications is to poll a script on the server (using AJAX) on a given interval (perhaps every few seconds), to check if something has happened. However, this can be pretty network intensive, and you often make pointless requests, because nothing has happened.

The way Facebook does it is using the comet approach, rather than polling on an interval, as soon as one poll completes, it issues another one. However, each request to the script on the server has an extremely long timeout, and the server only responds to the request once something has happened. You can see this happening if you bring up Firebug's Console tab while on Facebook, with requests to a script possibly taking minutes. It is quite ingenious really, since this method cuts down immediately on both the number of requests, and how often you have to send them. You effectively now have an event framework that allows the server to 'fire' events.

Behind this, in terms of the actual content returned from those polls, it's a JSON response, with what appears to be a list of events, and info about them. It's minified though, so is a bit hard to read.

In terms of the actual technology, AJAX is the way to go here, because you can control request timeouts, and many other things. I'd recommend (Stack overflow cliche here) using jQuery to do the AJAX, it'll take a lot of the cross-compability problems away. In terms of PHP, you could simply poll an event log database table in your PHP script, and only return to the client when something happens? There are, I expect, many ways of implementing this.

Implementing:

Server Side:

There appear to be a few implementations of comet libraries in PHP, but to be honest, it really is very simple, something perhaps like the following pseudocode:

while(!has_event_happened()) {
   sleep(5);
}

echo json_encode(get_events());
  • The has_event_happened function would just check if anything had happened in an events table or something, and then the get_events function would return a list of the new rows in the table? Depends on the context of the problem really.

  • Don't forget to change your PHP max execution time, otherwise it will timeout early!

Client Side:

Take a look at the jQuery plugin for doing Comet interaction:

That said, the plugin seems to add a fair bit of complexity, it really is very simple on the client, perhaps (with jQuery) something like:

function doPoll() {
   $.get("events.php", {}, function(result) {
      $.each(result.events, function(event) { //iterate over the events
          //do something with your event
      });
      doPoll(); 
      //this effectively causes the poll to run again as
      //soon as the response comes back
   }, 'json'); 
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajaxSetup({
       timeout: 1000*60//set a global AJAX timeout of a minute
    });
    doPoll(); // do the first poll
});

The whole thing depends a lot on how your existing architecture is put together.

Call a python function from jinja2

is there any way to import a whole set of python functions and have them accessible from jinja2 ?

Yes there is, In addition to the other answers above, this works for me.

Create a class and populate it with the associated methods e.g

class Test_jinja_object:

    def __init__(self):
        self.myvar = 'sample_var'

    def clever_function (self):
        return 'hello' 

Then create an instance of your class in your view function and pass the resultant object to your template as a parameter for the render_template function

my_obj = Test_jinja_object()

Now in your template, you can call the class methods in jinja like so

{{ my_obj.clever_function () }}

Catching an exception while using a Python 'with' statement

Catching an exception while using a Python 'with' statement

The with statement has been available without the __future__ import since Python 2.6. You can get it as early as Python 2.5 (but at this point it's time to upgrade!) with:

from __future__ import with_statement

Here's the closest thing to correct that you have. You're almost there, but with doesn't have an except clause:

with open("a.txt") as f: 
    print(f.readlines())
except:                    # <- with doesn't have an except clause.
    print('oops')

A context manager's __exit__ method, if it returns False will reraise the error when it finishes. If it returns True, it will suppress it. The open builtin's __exit__ doesn't return True, so you just need to nest it in a try, except block:

try:
    with open("a.txt") as f:
        print(f.readlines())
except Exception as error: 
    print('oops')

And standard boilerplate: don't use a bare except: which catches BaseException and every other possible exception and warning. Be at least as specific as Exception, and for this error, perhaps catch IOError. Only catch errors you're prepared to handle.

So in this case, you'd do:

>>> try:
...     with open("a.txt") as f:
...         print(f.readlines())
... except IOError as error: 
...     print('oops')
... 
oops

Access Database opens as read only

In my case it was because it was being backed up my a background process which started before I opened Access. It isn't normally a problem if it have the database open when the backup starts.

What do 'lazy' and 'greedy' mean in the context of regular expressions?

Greedy means your expression will match as large a group as possible, lazy means it will match the smallest group possible. For this string:

abcdefghijklmc

and this expression:

a.*c

A greedy match will match the whole string, and a lazy match will match just the first abc.

How to do a batch insert in MySQL

Load data infile query is much better option but some servers like godaddy restrict this option on shared hosting so , only two options left then one is insert record on every iteration or batch insert , but batch insert has its limitaion of characters if your query exceeds this number of characters set in mysql then your query will crash , So I suggest insert data in chunks withs batch insert , this will minimize number of connections established with database.best of luck guys

How to force page refreshes or reloads in jQuery?

You can refresh the events after adding new ones by applying the following code: -Release the Events -set Event Source -Re-render Events

  $('#calendar').fullCalendar('removeEvents');
                  $('#calendar').fullCalendar('addEventSource', YoureventSource);         
                  $('#calendar').fullCalendar('rerenderEvents' );

That will solve the problem

Calling a Function defined inside another function in Javascript

If you want to call the "inner" function with the "outer" function, you can do this:

function outer() { 
     function inner() {
          alert("hi");
     }
     return { inner };
}

And on "onclick" event you call the function like this:

<input type="button" onclick="outer().inner();" value="ACTION">?

how to move elasticsearch data from one server to another

I've always had success simply copying the index directory/folder over to the new server and restarting it. You'll find the index id by doing GET /_cat/indices and the folder matching this id is in data\nodes\0\indices (usually inside your elasticsearch folder unless you moved it).

How to round each item in a list of floats to 2 decimal places?

"%.2f" does not return a clean float. It returns a string representing this float with two decimals.

my_list = [0.30000000000000004, 0.5, 0.20000000000000001]
my_formatted_list = [ '%.2f' % elem for elem in my_list ]

returns:

['0.30', '0.50', '0.20']

Also, don't call your variable list. This is a reserved word for list creation. Use some other name, for example my_list.

If you want to obtain [0.30, 0.5, 0.20] (or at least the floats that are the closest possible), you can try this:

my_rounded_list = [ round(elem, 2) for elem in my_list ]

returns:

[0.29999999999999999, 0.5, 0.20000000000000001]

Is the buildSessionFactory() Configuration method deprecated in Hibernate

Code verified to work in Hibernate 4.3.0. Notice you can remove the XML filename parameter, or else provide your own path there. This is similar to (but typos corrected) other posts here, but this one is correct.

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;    


Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("/com/rtw/test/hiber/hibernate.cfg.xml");
ServiceRegistry  serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();        
    sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

How to get the home directory in Python?

You want to use os.path.expanduser.
This will ensure it works on all platforms:

from os.path import expanduser
home = expanduser("~")

If you're on Python 3.5+ you can use pathlib.Path.home():

from pathlib import Path
home = str(Path.home())

What is Ruby's double-colon `::`?

:: is basically a namespace resolution operator. It allows you to access items in modules, or class-level items in classes. For example, say you had this setup:

module SomeModule
    module InnerModule
        class MyClass
            CONSTANT = 4
        end
    end
end

You could access CONSTANT from outside the module as SomeModule::InnerModule::MyClass::CONSTANT.

It doesn't affect instance methods defined on a class, since you access those with a different syntax (the dot .).

Relevant note: If you want to go back to the top-level namespace, do this: ::SomeModule – Benjamin Oakes

Making Enter key on an HTML form submit instead of activating button

Try this, if enter key was pressed you can capture it like this for example, I developed an answer the other day html button specify selected, see if this helps.

Specify the forms name as for example yourFormName then you should be able to submit the form without having focus on the form.

document.onkeypress = keyPress;

function keyPress(e){
  var x = e || window.event;
  var key = (x.keyCode || x.which);
  if(key == 13 || key == 3){
   //  myFunc1();
   document.yourFormName.submit();
  }
}

Use JavaScript to place cursor at end of text in text input element

This problem is interesting. The most confusing thing about it is that no solution I found solved the problem completely.

+++++++ SOLUTION +++++++

  1. You need a JS function, like this:

    function moveCursorToEnd(obj) {
    
      if (!(obj.updating)) {
        obj.updating = true;
        var oldValue = obj.value;
        obj.value = '';
        setTimeout(function(){ obj.value = oldValue; obj.updating = false; }, 100);
      }
    
    }
    
  2. You need to call this guy in the onfocus and onclick events.

    <input type="text" value="Test Field" onfocus="moveCursorToEnd(this)" onclick="moveCursorToEnd(this)">
    

IT WORKS ON ALL DEVICES AN BROWSERS!!!!

Is it possible to get the index you're sorting over in Underscore.js?

If you'd rather transform your array, then the iterator parameter of underscore's map function is also passed the index as a second argument. So:

_.map([1, 4, 2, 66, 444, 9], function(value, index){ return index + ':' + value; });

... returns:

["0:1", "1:4", "2:2", "3:66", "4:444", "5:9"]

Example of multipart/form-data

EDIT: I am maintaining a similar, but more in-depth answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28380690/895245

To see exactly what is happening, use nc -l or an ECHO server and an user agent like a browser or cURL.

Save the form to an .html file:

<form action="http://localhost:8000" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <p><input type="text" name="text" value="text default">
  <p><input type="file" name="file1">
  <p><input type="file" name="file2">
  <p><button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Create files to upload:

echo 'Content of a.txt.' > a.txt
echo '<!DOCTYPE html><title>Content of a.html.</title>' > a.html

Run:

nc -l localhost 8000

Open the HTML on your browser, select the files and click on submit and check the terminal.

nc prints the request received. Firefox sent:

Explain ggplot2 warning: "Removed k rows containing missing values"

The behavior you're seeing is due to how ggplot2 deals with data that are outside the axis ranges of the plot. You can change this behavior depending on whether you use scale_y_continuous (or, equivalently, ylim) or coord_cartesian to set axis ranges, as explained below.

library(ggplot2)

# All points are visible in the plot
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, hp)) + 
  geom_point()

In the code below, one point with hp = 335 is outside the y-range of the plot. Also, because we used scale_y_continuous to set the y-axis range, this point is not included in any other statistics or summary measures calculated by ggplot, such as the linear regression line.

ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, hp)) + 
  geom_point() +
  scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,300)) +  # Change this to limits=c(0,335) and the warning disappars
  geom_smooth(method="lm")

Warning messages:
1: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (stat_smooth). 
2: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

In the code below, the point with hp = 335 is still outside the y-range of the plot, but this point is nevertheless included in any statistics or summary measures that ggplot calculates, such as the linear regression line. This is because we used coord_cartesian to set the y-axis range, and this function does not exclude points that are outside the plot ranges when it does other calculations on the data.

If you compare this and the previous plot, you can see that the linear regression line in the second plot has a slightly steeper slope, because the point with hp=335 is included when calculating the regression line, even though it's not visible in the plot.

How to find MAC address of an Android device programmatically

See this post where I have submitted Utils.java example to provide pure-java implementations and works without WifiManager. Some android devices may not have wifi available or are using ethernet wiring.

Utils.getMACAddress("wlan0");
Utils.getMACAddress("eth0");
Utils.getIPAddress(true); // IPv4
Utils.getIPAddress(false); // IPv6

Explicit vs implicit SQL joins

Performance wise, it should not make any difference. The explicit join syntax seems cleaner to me as it clearly defines relationships between tables in the from clause and does not clutter up the where clause.

Android Studio : Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

I'm using Android Studio Beta version 0.8.1 and I have the same problem. I now I sold my problem by changing the AVD (I'm using Genymotion) to API 19. and here is my build.gradle file

Multiline input form field using Bootstrap

The answer by Nick Mitchinson is for Bootstrap version 2.

If you are using Bootstrap version 3, then forms have changed a bit. For bootstrap 3, use the following instead:

<div class="form-horizontal">
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <textarea class="form-control" rows="3" placeholder="What's up?" required></textarea>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Where, col-md-6 will target medium sized devices. You can add col-xs-6 etc to target smaller devices.

Writing an Excel file in EPPlus

If you have a collection of objects that you load using stored procedure you can also use LoadFromCollection.

using (ExcelPackage package = new ExcelPackage(file))
{
    ExcelWorksheet worksheet = package.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("test");

    worksheet.Cells["A1"].LoadFromCollection(myColl, true, OfficeOpenXml.Table.TableStyles.Medium1);

    package.Save();
}

send checkbox value in PHP form

If the checkbox is checked you will get a value for it in your $_POST array. If it isn't the element will be omitted from the array altogether.

The easiest way to test it is like this:

if (isset($_POST['myCheckbox'])) {
  $checkBoxValue = "yes";
} else {
  $checkBoxValue = "no";
}

For your code, add it immediately below the other preprocessing:

$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email_address = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['tel']; 

if (isset($_POST['newsletter'])) {
  $newsletter = "yes";
} else {
  $newsletter = "no";
}

You'll also need to change the HTML slightly. Change this line:

<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter[]" value="newsletter" checked>i want to sign up for newsletter<br>

to this:

<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" value="newsletter" checked>i want to sign up   for newsletter<br>
                                      ^^^ remove square brackets here.

How to obtain Telegram chat_id for a specific user?

Using the Perl API you can get it this way: first you send a message to the bot from Telegram, then issue a getUpdates and the chat id must be there:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Data::Dumper;
use WWW::Telegram::BotAPI;

my $TOKEN = 'blablabla';
my $api = WWW::Telegram::BotAPI->new (
    token => $TOKEN
) or die "I can't connect";

my $out = $api->api_request ('getUpdates');
warn Dumper($out);
my $chat_id = $out->{result}->[0]->{message}->{chat}->{id};
print "chat_id=$chat_id\n";

The id should be in chat_id but it may depend of the result, so I also added a dump of the whole result.

You can install the Perl API from https://github.com/Robertof/perl-www-telegram-botapi. It depends on your system but I installed easily running this on my Linux server:

$ sudo cpan WWW::Telegram::BotAPI

How to get anchor text/href on click using jQuery?

Without jQuery:

You don't need jQuery when it is so simple to do this using pure JavaScript. Here are two options:

  • Method 1 - Retrieve the exact value of the href attribute:

    Select the element and then use the .getAttribute() method.

    This method does not return the full URL, instead it retrieves the exact value of the href attribute.

    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    var anchor = document.querySelector('a'),_x000D_
        url = anchor.getAttribute('href');_x000D_
    _x000D_
    alert(url);
    _x000D_
    <a href="/relative/path.html"></a>
    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    _x000D_


  • Method 2 - Retrieve the full URL path:

    Select the element and then simply access the href property.

    This method returns the full URL path.

    In this case: http://stacksnippets.net/relative/path.html.

    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    var anchor = document.querySelector('a'),_x000D_
        url = anchor.href;_x000D_
    _x000D_
    alert(url);
    _x000D_
    <a href="/relative/path.html"></a>
    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    _x000D_


As your title implies, you want to get the href value on click. Simply select an element, add a click event listener and then return the href value using either of the aforementioned methods.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var anchor = document.querySelector('a'),_x000D_
    button = document.getElementById('getURL'),_x000D_
    url = anchor.href;_x000D_
_x000D_
button.addEventListener('click', function (e) {_x000D_
  alert(url);_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<button id="getURL">Click me!</button>_x000D_
<a href="/relative/path.html"></a>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

What is (x & 1) and (x >>= 1)?

In addition to the answer of "dasblinkenlight" I think an example could help. I will only use 8 bits for a better understanding.

x & 1 produces a value that is either 1 or 0, depending on the least significant bit of x: if the last bit is 1, the result of x & 1 is 1; otherwise, it is 0. This is a bitwise AND operation.

This is because 1 will be represented in bits as 00000001. Only the last bit is set to 1. Let's assume x is 185 which will be represented in bits as 10111001. If you apply a bitwise AND operation on x with 1 this will be the result:

00000001
10111001
--------
00000001

The first seven bits of the operation result will be 0 after the operation and will carry no information in this case (see Logical AND operation). Because whatever the first seven bits of the operand x were before, after the operation they will be 0. But the last bit of the operand 1 is 1 and it will reveal if the last bit of operand x was 0 or 1. So in this example the result of the bitwise AND operation will be 1 because our last bit of x is 1. If the last bit would have been 0, then the result would have been also 0, indicating that the last bit of operand x is 0:

00000001
10111000
--------
00000000

x >>= 1 means "set x to itself shifted by one bit to the right". The expression evaluates to the new value of x after the shift

Let's pick the example from above. For x >>= 1 this would be:

10111001
--------
01011100

And for left shift x <<= 1 it would be:

10111001
--------
01110010

Please pay attention to the note of user "dasblinkenlight" in regard to shifts.

How to save local data in a Swift app?

Okey so thanks to @bploat and the link to http://www.codingexplorer.com/nsuserdefaults-a-swift-introduction/

I've found that the answer is quite simple for some basic string storage.

let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()

// Store
defaults.setObject("theGreatestName", forKey: "username")

// Receive
if let name = defaults.stringForKey("username")
{
    print(name)
    // Will output "theGreatestName"
}

I've summarized it here http://ridewing.se/blog/save-local-data-in-swift/

Can I set enum start value in Java?

Java enums are not like C or C++ enums, which are really just labels for integers.

Java enums are implemented more like classes - and they can even have multiple attributes.

public enum Ids {
    OPEN(100), CLOSE(200);

    private final int id;
    Ids(int id) { this.id = id; }
    public int getValue() { return id; }
}

The big difference is that they are type-safe which means you don't have to worry about assigning a COLOR enum to a SIZE variable.

See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/enum.html for more.

java: Class.isInstance vs Class.isAssignableFrom

clazz.isAssignableFrom(Foo.class) will be true whenever the class represented by the clazz object is a superclass or superinterface of Foo.

clazz.isInstance(obj) will be true whenever the object obj is an instance of the class clazz.

That is:

clazz.isAssignableFrom(obj.getClass()) == clazz.isInstance(obj)

is always true so long as clazz and obj are nonnull.

Create URL from a String

URL url = new URL(yourUrl, "/api/v1/status.xml");

According to the javadocs this constructor just appends whatever resource to the end of your domain, so you would want to create 2 urls:

URL url = new URL(domain + "/files/resource.xml");

Difference between applicationContext.xml and spring-servlet.xml in Spring Framework

Application contexts provide a means for resolving text messages, including support for i18n of those messages. Application contexts provide a generic way to load file resources, such as images. Application contexts can publish events to beans that are registered as listeners. Certain operations on the container or beans in the container, which have to be handled in a programmatic fashion with a bean factory, can be handled declaratively in an application context. ResourceLoader support: Spring’s Resource interface us a flexible generic abstraction for handling low-level resources. An application context itself is a ResourceLoader, Hence provides an application with access to deployment-specific Resource instances. MessageSource support: The application context implements MessageSource, an interface used to obtain localized messages, with the actual implementation being pluggable

How can I remove the first line of a text file using bash/sed script?

If you want to modify the file in place, you could always use the original ed instead of its streaming successor sed:

ed "$FILE" <<<$'1d\nwq\n'

The ed command was the original UNIX text editor, before there were even full-screen terminals, much less graphical workstations. The ex editor, best known as what you're using when typing at the colon prompt in vi, is an extended version of ed, so many of the same commands work. While ed is meant to be used interactively, it can also be used in batch mode by sending a string of commands to it, which is what this solution does.

The sequence <<<$'1d\nwq\n' takes advantage of Bash's support for here-strings (<<<) and POSIX quotes ($'...') to feed input to the ed command consisting of two lines: 1d, which deletes line 1, and then wq, which writes the file back out to disk and then quits the editing session.

Truncate all tables in a MySQL database in one command?

I found this to drop all tables in a database:

mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD --add-drop-table --no-data DATABASENAME | grep ^DROP | mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASENAME

Usefull if you are limited by hosting solution (not able to drop a whole database).

I modified it to truncate the tables. There is no "--add-truncate-table" for mysqldump, so i did:

mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD --add-drop-table --no-data DATABASENAME | grep ^DROP | sed -e 's/DROP TABLE IF EXISTS/TRUNCATE TABLE/g' | mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASENAME

works for me --edit, fixing a typo in the last command

Printing image with PrintDocument. how to adjust the image to fit paper size

You can use my code here

//Print Button Event Handeler
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
    pd.PrintPage += PrintPage;
    //here to select the printer attached to user PC
    PrintDialog printDialog1 = new PrintDialog();
    printDialog1.Document = pd;
    DialogResult result = printDialog1.ShowDialog();
    if (result == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        pd.Print();//this will trigger the Print Event handeler PrintPage
    }
}

//The Print Event handeler
private void PrintPage(object o, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        if (File.Exists(this.ImagePath))
        {
            //Load the image from the file
            System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"C:\myimage.jpg");

            //Adjust the size of the image to the page to print the full image without loosing any part of it
            Rectangle m = e.MarginBounds;

            if ((double)img.Width / (double)img.Height > (double)m.Width / (double)m.Height) // image is wider
            {
                m.Height = (int)((double)img.Height / (double)img.Width * (double)m.Width);
            }
            else
            {
                m.Width = (int)((double)img.Width / (double)img.Height * (double)m.Height);
            }
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, m);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception)

Angular and debounce

Simple solution would be to create a directive which you can apply to any control.

import { Directive, ElementRef, Input, Renderer, HostListener, Output, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core';
import { NgControl } from '@angular/forms';

@Directive({
    selector: '[ngModel][debounce]',
})
export class Debounce 
{
    @Output() public onDebounce = new EventEmitter<any>();

    @Input('debounce') public debounceTime: number = 500;

    private modelValue = null;

    constructor(public model: NgControl, el: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer){
    }

    ngOnInit(){
        this.modelValue = this.model.value;

        if (!this.modelValue){
            var firstChangeSubs = this.model.valueChanges.subscribe(v =>{
                this.modelValue = v;
                firstChangeSubs.unsubscribe()
            });
        }

        this.model.valueChanges
            .debounceTime(this.debounceTime)
            .distinctUntilChanged()
            .subscribe(mv => {
                if (this.modelValue != mv){
                    this.modelValue = mv;
                    this.onDebounce.emit(mv);
                }
            });
    }
}

usage would be

<textarea [ngModel]="somevalue"   
          [debounce]="2000"
          (onDebounce)="somevalue = $event"                               
          rows="3">
</textarea>

Android ImageView's onClickListener does not work

Note: After creating the user, be sure to edit the user and remove all roles.

getting the difference between date in days in java

Like this.

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

/**
 * DateDiff -- compute the difference between two dates.
 */
public class DateDiff {
  public static void main(String[] av) {
    /** The date at the end of the last century */
    Date d1 = new GregorianCalendar(2000, 11, 31, 23, 59).getTime();

    /** Today's date */
    Date today = new Date();

    // Get msec from each, and subtract.
    long diff = today.getTime() - d1.getTime();

    System.out.println("The 21st century (up to " + today + ") is "
        + (diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) + " days old.");
  }

}

Why does git revert complain about a missing -m option?

By default git revert refuses to revert a merge commit as what that actually means is ambiguous. I presume that your HEAD is in fact a merge commit.

If you want to revert the merge commit, you have to specify which parent of the merge you want to consider to be the main trunk, i.e. what you want to revert to.

Often this will be parent number one, for example if you were on master and did git merge unwanted and then decided to revert the merge of unwanted. The first parent would be your pre-merge master branch and the second parent would be the tip of unwanted.

In this case you could do:

git revert -m 1 HEAD

How to send SMS in Java

You can use Nexmo to send SMS as well as receive SMS.

Sending SMS with the Nexmo Java Library is fairly straightforward. After creating a new account, renting a virtual number, and getting your API key & secret you can use the library to send SMS like so:

  public class SendSMS {

      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          AuthMethod auth = new TokenAuthMethod(API_KEY, API_SECRET);
          NexmoClient client = new NexmoClient(auth);

          TextMessage message = new TextMessage(FROM_NUMBER, TO_NUMBER, "Hello from Nexmo!");

          //There may be more than one response if the SMS sent is more than 160 characters.
          SmsSubmissionResult[] responses = client.getSmsClient().submitMessage(message);
            for (SmsSubmissionResult response : responses) {
            System.out.println(response);
          }
      }
  }

To receive SMS you'll need to set up a server that consumes a webhook. That's fairly simple as well. I recommend checking out our tutorial on receiving SMS with Java.

How does the data-toggle attribute work? (What's its API?)

I think you are a bit confused on the purpose of custom data attributes. From the w3 spec

Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate attributes or elements.

By itself an attribute of data-toggle=value is basically a key-value pair, in which the key is "data-toggle" and the value is "value".

In the context of Bootstrap, the custom data in the attribute is almost useless without the context that their JavaScript library includes for the data. If you look at the non-minified version of bootstrap.js then you can do a search for "data-toggle" and find how it is being used.

Here is an example of Bootstrap JavaScript code that I copied straight from the file regarding the use of "data-toggle".

  • Button Toggle

    Button.prototype.toggle = function () {
      var changed = true
      var $parent = this.$element.closest('[data-toggle="buttons"]')
    
      if ($parent.length) {
        var $input = this.$element.find('input')
        if ($input.prop('type') == 'radio') {
          if ($input.prop('checked') && this.$element.hasClass('active')) changed = false
          else $parent.find('.active').removeClass('active')
        }
        if (changed) $input.prop('checked', !this.$element.hasClass('active')).trigger('change')
      } else {
        this.$element.attr('aria-pressed', !this.$element.hasClass('active'))
      }
    
      if (changed) this.$element.toggleClass('active')
    }
    

The context that the code provides shows that Bootstrap is using the data-toggle attribute as a custom query selector to process the particular element.

From what I see these are the data-toggle options:

  • collapse
  • dropdown
  • modal
  • tab
  • pill
  • button(s)

You may want to look at the Bootstrap JavaScript documentation to get more specifics of what each do, but basically the data-toggle attribute toggles the element to active or not.

Difference between 3NF and BCNF in simple terms (must be able to explain to an 8-year old)

All good answers. To put it in simple language [BCNF] No partial key can depend on a key.

i.e No partial subset ( i.e any non trivial subset except the full set ) of a candidate key can be functionally dependent on some candidate key.

Best way to access a control on another form in Windows Forms?

I would handle this in the parent form. You can notify the other form that it needs to modify itself through an event.

How to obtain the location of cacerts of the default java installation?

In MacOS Mojave, the location is:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_192.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts 

If using sdkman to manage java versions, the cacerts is in

How to find the length of an array in shell?

Assuming bash:

~> declare -a foo
~> foo[0]="foo"
~> foo[1]="bar"
~> foo[2]="baz"
~> echo ${#foo[*]}
3

So, ${#ARRAY[*]} expands to the length of the array ARRAY.

How to get today's Date?

Use this code to easy get Date & Time :

package date.time;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;    
import java.util.Date;

public class DateTime {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SimpleDateFormat dnt = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy :: HH:mm:ss");
        Date date = new Date();
        System.out.println("Today Date & Time at Now :"+dnt.format(date));  
    } 
}

Better way to represent array in java properties file

As user 'Skip Head' already pointed out, csv or a any table file format would be a better fitt in your case.

If it is an option for you, maybe this Table implementation might interest you.

Can an html element have multiple ids?

That's interesting, but as far as I know the answer is a firm no. I don't see why you need a nested ID, since you'll usually cross it with another element that has the same nested ID. If you don't there's no point, if you do there's still very little point.

Expand Python Search Path to Other Source

New option for old question.
Installing fail2ban package on Debian, looks like it's hardcoded to install on /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fail2ban a path not on python3 sys.path.


> python3
Python 3.7.3 (v3.7.3:ef4ec6ed12, Jun 25 2019, 18:51:50)

>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python37.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.7', '/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages']

so, instead of just copying, I (bash) linked the library to newer versions.
Future updates to the original app, will also be automatically applied to the linked versions.

What underlies this JavaScript idiom: var self = this?

It should also be noted there is an alternative Proxy pattern for maintaining a reference to the original this in a callback if you dislike the var self = this idiom.

As a function can be called with a given context by using function.apply or function.call, you can write a wrapper that returns a function that calls your function with apply or call using the given context. See jQuery's proxy function for an implementation of this pattern. Here is an example of using it:

var wrappedFunc = $.proxy(this.myFunc, this);

wrappedFunc can then be called and will have your version of this as the context.

C default arguments

Yes, with features of C99 you may do this. This works without defining new data structures or so and without the function having to decide at runtime how it was called, and without any computational overhead.

For a detailed explanation see my post at

How to update cursor limit for ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceed

Assuming that you are using a spfile to start the database

alter system set open_cursors = 1000 scope=both;

If you are using a pfile instead, you can change the setting for the running instance

alter system set open_cursors = 1000 

You would also then need to edit the parameter file to specify the new open_cursors setting. It would generally be a good idea to restart the database shortly thereafter to make sure that the parameter file change works as expected (it's highly annoying to discover months later the next time that you reboot the database that some parameter file change than no one remembers wasn't done correctly).

I'm also hoping that you are certain that you actually need more than 300 open cursors per session. A large fraction of the time, people that are adjusting this setting actually have a cursor leak and they are simply trying to paper over the bug rather than addressing the root cause.

Convert string to decimal number with 2 decimal places in Java

Java convert a String to decimal:

String dennis = "0.00000008880000";
double f = Double.parseDouble(dennis);
System.out.println(f);
System.out.println(String.format("%.7f", f));
System.out.println(String.format("%.9f", new BigDecimal(f)));
System.out.println(String.format("%.35f", new BigDecimal(f)));
System.out.println(String.format("%.2f", new BigDecimal(f)));

This prints:

8.88E-8
0.0000001
0.000000089
0.00000008880000000000000106383001366

A hex viewer / editor plugin for Notepad++?

The hex editor plugin mentioned by ellak still works, but it seems that you need the TextFX Characters plugin as well.

I initially installed only the hex plugin and Notepad++ would no longer pop up; instead it started eating memory (killed it at 1.2 GB). I removed it again and for other reasons installed the TextFX plugin (based on Find multiple lines in Notepad++)

Out of curiosity I installed the hex plugin again and now it works.

Note that this is on a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit.

How to amend older Git commit?

I prepared my commit that I wanted to amend with an older one and was surprised to see that rebase -i complained that I have uncommitted changes. But I didn't want to make my changes again specifying edit option of the older commit. So the solution was pretty easy and straightforward:

  1. prepare your update to older commit, add it and commit
  2. git rebase -i <commit you want to amend>^ - notice the ^ so you see the said commit in the text editor
  3. you will get sometihng like this:

    pick 8c83e24 use substitution instead of separate subsystems file to avoid jgroups.xml and jgroups-e2.xml going out of sync
    pick 799ce28 generate ec2 configuration out of subsystems-ha.xml and subsystems-full-ha.xml to avoid discrepancies
    pick e23d23a fix indentation of jgroups.xml
    
  4. now to combine e23d23a with 8c83e24 you can change line order and use squash like this:

    pick 8c83e24 use substitution instead of separate subsystems file to avoid jgroups.xml and jgroups-e2.xml going out of sync    
    squash e23d23a fix indentation of jgroups.xml
    pick 799ce28 generate ec2 configuration out of subsystems-ha.xml and subsystems-full-ha.xml to avoid discrepancies
    
  5. write and exit the file, you will be present with an editor to merge the commit messages. Do so and save/exit the text document

  6. You are done, your commits are amended

Cross domain POST request is not sending cookie Ajax Jquery

You cannot set or read cookies on CORS requests through JavaScript. Although CORS allows cross-origin requests, the cookies are still subject to the browser's same-origin policy, which means only pages from the same origin can read/write the cookie. withCredentials only means that any cookies set by the remote host are sent to that remote host. You will have to set the cookie from the remote server by using the Set-Cookie header.

Here I assume my attachment is of a PDF type format.

Comments are made to understand it clearly.

How to solve "Unresolved inclusion: <iostream>" in a C++ file in Eclipse CDT?

I'd had this issue with Eclipse 2019-12 where the includes were previously being resolved, but then weren't. This was with a Meson build C/C++ project. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but closing the project and reopening it resolved the issue for me.

Rollback to an old Git commit in a public repo

Want HEAD detached mode?

If you wish to rollback X time to a certain commit with a DETACHED HEAD (meaning you can't mess up anything), then by all means, use the following:

(replace X with how many commits you wish to go back)

git checkout HEAD~X

I.E. to go back one commit:

git checkout HEAD~1

Don't forget to keep /255.0 for every color

How do I make calls to a REST API using C#?

The ASP.NET Web API has replaced the WCF Web API previously mentioned.

I thought I'd post an updated answer since most of these responses are from early 2012, and this thread is one of the top results when doing a Google search for "call restful service C#".

Current guidance from Microsoft is to use the Microsoft ASP.NET Web API Client Libraries to consume a RESTful service. This is available as a NuGet package, Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client. You will need to add this NuGet package to your solution.

Here's how your example would look when implemented using the ASP.NET Web API Client Library:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;

namespace ConsoleProgram
{
    public class DataObject
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    public class Class1
    {
        private const string URL = "https://sub.domain.com/objects.json";
        private string urlParameters = "?api_key=123";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(URL);

            // Add an Accept header for JSON format.
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
            new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            // List data response.
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(urlParameters).Result;  // Blocking call! Program will wait here until a response is received or a timeout occurs.
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                // Parse the response body.
                var dataObjects = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<DataObject>>().Result;  //Make sure to add a reference to System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll
                foreach (var d in dataObjects)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", d.Name);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", (int)response.StatusCode, response.ReasonPhrase);
            }

            // Make any other calls using HttpClient here.

            // Dispose once all HttpClient calls are complete. This is not necessary if the containing object will be disposed of; for example in this case the HttpClient instance will be disposed automatically when the application terminates so the following call is superfluous.
            client.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

If you plan on making multiple requests, you should re-use your HttpClient instance. See this question and its answers for more details on why a using statement was not used on the HttpClient instance in this case: Do HttpClient and HttpClientHandler have to be disposed between requests?

For more details, including other examples, see Call a Web API From a .NET Client (C#)

How to set connection timeout with OkHttp

This worked for me:

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .readTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .retryOnConnectionFailure(false) <-- not necessary but useful!
    .build();

What is the difference between null and System.DBNull.Value?

DBNull.Value is annoying to have to deal with.

I use static methods that check if it's DBNull and then return the value.

SqlDataReader r = ...;
String firstName = getString(r[COL_Firstname]);

private static String getString(Object o) {
   if (o == DBNull.Value) return null;
   return (String) o;
}

Also, when inserting values into a DataRow, you can't use "null", you have to use DBNull.Value.

Have two representations of "null" is a bad design for no apparent benefit.

how to get the ipaddress of a virtual box running on local machine

Login to virtual machine use below command to check ip address. (anyone will work)

  1. ifconfig
  2. ip addr show

If you used NAT for your virtual machine settings(your machine ip will be 10.0.2.15), then you have to use port forwarding to connect to machine. IP address will be 127.0.0.1

If you used bridged networking/Host only networking, then you will have separate Ip address. Use that IP address to connect virtual machine

Setting the default Java character encoding

Recently I bumped into a local company's Notes 6.5 system and found out the webmail would show unidentifiable characters on a non-Zhongwen localed Windows installation. Have dug for several weeks online, figured it out just few minutes ago:

In Java properties, add the following string to Runtime Parameters

-Dfile.encoding=MS950 -Duser.language=zh -Duser.country=TW -Dsun.jnu.encoding=MS950

UTF-8 setting would not work in this case.

CSS opacity only to background color, not the text on it?

My trick is to create a transparent .png with the color and use background:url().

How to force Hibernate to return dates as java.util.Date instead of Timestamp?

Approaches 1 and 2 obviously don't work, because you get java.sql.Date objects, per JPA/Hibernate spec, and not java.util.Date. From approaches 3 and 4, I would rather choose the latter one, because it's more declarative, and will work with both field and getter annotations.

You have already laid out the solution 4 in your referenced blog post, as @tscho was kind to point out. Maybe defaultForType (see below) should give you the centralized solution you were looking for. Of course will will still need to differentiate between date (without time) and timestamp fields.

For future reference I will leave the summary of using your own Hibernate UserType here:

To make Hibernate give you java.util.Date instances, you can use the @Type and @TypeDef annotations to define a different mapping of your java.util.Date java types to and from the database.

See the examples in the core reference manual here.

  1. Implement a UserType to do the actual plumbing (conversion to/from java.util.Date), named e.g. TimestampAsJavaUtilDateType
  2. Add a @TypeDef annotation on one entity or in a package-info.java - both will be available globally for the session factory (see manual link above). You can use defaultForType to apply the type conversion on all mapped fields of type java.util.Date.

    @TypeDef
      name = "timestampAsJavaUtilDate",
      defaultForType = java.util.Date.class, /* applied globally */
      typeClass = TimestampAsJavaUtilDateType.class
    )
    
  3. Optionally, instead of defaultForType, you can annotate your fields/getters with @Type individually:

    @Entity
    public class MyEntity {
       [...]
       @Type(type="timestampAsJavaUtilDate")
       private java.util.Date myDate;
       [...]
    }
    

P.S. To suggest a totally different approach: we usually just don't compare Date objects using equals() anyway. Instead we use a utility class with methods to compare e.g. only the calendar date of two Date instances (or another resolution such as seconds), regardless of the exact implementation type. That as worked well for us.

NSString property: copy or retain?

Surely putting 'copy' on a property declaration flies in the face of using an object-oriented environment where objects on the heap are passed by reference - one of the benefits you get here is that, when changing an object, all references to that object see the latest changes. A lot of languages supply 'ref' or similar keywords to allow value types (i.e. structures on the stack) to benefit from the same behaviour. Personally, I'd use copy sparingly, and if I felt that a property value should be protected from changes made to the object it was assigned from, I could call that object's copy method during the assignment, e.g.:

p.name = [someName copy];

Of course, when designing the object that contains that property, only you will know whether the design benefits from a pattern where assignments take copies - Cocoawithlove.com has the following to say:

"You should use a copy accessor when the setter parameter may be mutable but you can't have the internal state of a property changing without warning" - so the judgement as to whether you can stand the value to change unexpectedly is all your own. Imagine this scenario:

//person object has details of an individual you're assigning to a contact list.

Contact *contact = [[[Contact alloc] init] autorelease];
contact.name = person.name;

//person changes name
[[person name] setString:@"new name"];
//now both person.name and contact.name are in sync.

In this case, without using copy, our contact object takes the new value automatically; if we did use it, though, we'd have to manually make sure that changes were detected and synced. In this case, retain semantics might be desirable; in another, copy might be more appropriate.

Batch file to map a drive when the folder name contains spaces

net use f: \\\VFServer"\HQ Publications" /persistent:yes

Note that the first quotation mark goes before the leading \ and the second goes after the end of the folder name.

Serializing/deserializing with memory stream

BinaryFormatter may produce invalid output in some specific cases. For example it will omit unpaired surrogate characters. It may also have problems with values of interface types. Read this documentation page including community content.

If you find your error to be persistent you may want to consider using XML serializer like DataContractSerializer or XmlSerializer.

GitHub README.md center image

This is from Github's support:

Hey Waldyr,

Markdown doesn't allow you to tweak alignment directly (see docs here: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#img), but you can just use a raw HTML 'img' tag and do the alignment with inline css.

Cheers,

So it is possible to align images! You just have to use inline css to solve the problem. You can take an example from my github repo. At the bottom of README.md there is a centered aligned image. For simplicity you can just do as follows:

<p align="center">
  <img src="http://some_place.com/image.png" />
</p>

Although, as nulltoken said, it would be borderline against the Markdown philosophy!


This code from my readme:

<p align="center">
  <img src="https://github.com/waldyr/Sublime-Installer/blob/master/sublime_text.png?raw=true" alt="Sublime's custom image"/>
</p>

Produces this image output, except centered when viewed on GitHub:

<p align="center">
  <img src="https://github.com/waldyr/Sublime-Installer/blob/master/sublime_text.png?raw=true" alt="Sublime's custom image"/>
</p>

Render HTML string as real HTML in a React component

dangerouslySetInnerHTML

dangerouslySetInnerHTML is React’s replacement for using innerHTML in the browser DOM. In general, setting HTML from code is risky because it’s easy to inadvertently expose your users to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. So, you can set HTML directly from React, but you have to type out dangerouslySetInnerHTML and pass an object with a __html key, to remind yourself that it’s dangerous. For example:

function createMarkup() {
  return {__html: 'First &middot; Second'};
}

function MyComponent() {
  return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={createMarkup()} />;
}

Get the string value from List<String> through loop for display

List<String> al=new ArrayList<string>();
al.add("One");
al.add("Two");
al.add("Three");

for(String al1:al) //for each construct
{
System.out.println(al1);
}

O/p will be

One
Two
Three

How do I catch an Ajax query post error?

In case you want to utilize .then() which has a subtle difference in comparison with .done() :

return $.post(url, payload)
.then(
    function (result, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        return result;
    },
    function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        return console.error(errorThrown);
    });

Can I do Android Programming in C++, C?

You should look at MoSync too, MoSync gives you standard C/C++, easy-to-use well-documented APIs, and a full-featured Eclipse-based IDE. Its now a open sourced IDE still pretty cool but not maintained anymore.

state provider and route provider in angularJS

You shouldn't use both ngRoute and UI-router. Here's a sample code for UI-router:

_x000D_
_x000D_
repoApp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {_x000D_
  _x000D_
  $stateProvider_x000D_
    .state('state1', {_x000D_
      url: "/state1",_x000D_
      templateUrl: "partials/state1.html",_x000D_
      controller: 'YourCtrl'_x000D_
    })_x000D_
    _x000D_
    .state('state2', {_x000D_
      url: "/state2",_x000D_
      templateUrl: "partials/state2.html",_x000D_
      controller: 'YourOtherCtrl'_x000D_
    });_x000D_
    $urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/state1");_x000D_
});_x000D_
//etc.
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

You can find a great answer on the difference between these two in this thread: What is the difference between angular-route and angular-ui-router?

You can also consult UI-Router's docs here: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router

Count the Number of Tables in a SQL Server Database

You can use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES to retrieve information about your database tables.

As mentioned in the Microsoft Tables Documentation:

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES returns one row for each table in the current database for which the current user has permissions.

The following query, therefore, will return the number of tables in the specified database:

USE MyDatabase
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'

As of SQL Server 2008, you can also use sys.tables to count the the number of tables.

From the Microsoft sys.tables Documentation:

sys.tables returns a row for each user table in SQL Server.

The following query will also return the number of table in your database:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM sys.tables

How to cherry-pick from a remote branch?

If you have fetched, yet this still happens, the following might be a reason.

It can happen that the commit you are trying to pick, is no longer belonging to any branch. This may happen when you rebase.

In such case, at the remote repo:

  1. git checkout xxxxx
  2. git checkout -b temp-branch

Then in your repo, fetch again. The new branch will be fetched, including that commit.

Tab space instead of multiple non-breaking spaces ("nbsp")?

Below are the 3 different ways provided by HTML to insert empty space

  1. Type &nbsp; to add a single space.
  2. Type &ensp; to add 2 spaces.
  3. Type &emsp; to add 4 spaces.

how to assign a block of html code to a javascript variable

we can use backticks (``) without any error.. eg: <div>"test"<div>

we can store large template(HTML) inside the backticks which was introduced in ES6 javascript standard

No need to escape any special characters

if no backticks.. we need to escape characters by appending backslash() eg:" \"test\""

How can I load the contents of a text file into a batch file variable?

Use for, something along the lines of:

set content=
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('filename') do set content=%content% %%i

Maybe you’ll have to do setlocal enabledelayedexpansion and/or use !content! rather than %content%. I can’t test, as I don’t have any MS Windows nearby (and I wish you the same :-).

The best batch-file-black-magic-reference I know of is at http://www.rsdn.ru/article/winshell/batanyca.xml. If you don’t know Russian, you still could make some use of the code snippets provided.

How to putAll on Java hashMap contents of one to another, but not replace existing keys and values?

Using Guava's Maps class' utility methods to compute the difference of 2 maps you can do it in a single line, with a method signature which makes it more clear what you are trying to accomplish:

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    // Create some maps
    final Map<Integer, String> map1 = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
    map1.put(1, "Hello");
    map1.put(2, "There");
    final Map<Integer, String> map2 = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
    map2.put(2, "There");
    map2.put(3, "is");
    map2.put(4, "a");
    map2.put(5, "bird");

    // Add everything in map1 not in map2 to map2
    map2.putAll(Maps.difference(map1, map2).entriesOnlyOnLeft());
}

Modify XML existing content in C#

Well, If you want to update a node in XML, the XmlDocument is fine - you needn't use XmlTextWriter.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("D:\\build.xml");
XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlNode myNode = root.SelectSingleNode("descendant::books");
myNode.Value = "blabla";
doc.Save("D:\\build.xml");

How can I find matching values in two arrays?

You can use :

const intersection = array1.filter(element => array2.includes(element));

Python: split a list based on a condition?

Sometimes you won't need that other half of the list. For example:

import sys
from itertools import ifilter

trustedPeople = sys.argv[1].split(',')
newName = sys.argv[2]

myFriends = ifilter(lambda x: x.startswith('Shi'), trustedPeople)

print '%s is %smy friend.' % (newName, newName not in myFriends 'not ' or '')

Get current index from foreach loop

You have two options here, 1. Use for instead for foreach for iteration.But in your case the collection is IEnumerable and the upper limit of the collection is unknown so foreach will be the best option. so i prefer to use another integer variable to hold the iteration count: here is the code for that:

int i = 0; // for index
foreach (var row in list)
{
    bool IsChecked;// assign value to this variable
    if (IsChecked)
    {    
       // use i value here                
    }
    i++; // will increment i in each iteration
}

Flutter command not found

For those using a Z-shell resource (.zshrc), navigate to your home directory and open .zprofile, copy and paste this: export PATH=[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_DIRECTORY]/flutter/bin:$PATH

Return None if Dictionary key is not available

For those using the dict.get technique for nested dictionaries, instead of explicitly checking for every level of the dictionary, or extending the dict class, you can set the default return value to an empty dictionary except for the out-most level. Here's an example:

my_dict = {'level_1': {
             'level_2': {
                  'level_3': 'more_data'
                  }
              }
           }
result = my_dict.get('level_1', {}).get('level_2', {}).get('level_3')
# result -> 'more_data'
none_result = my_dict.get('level_1', {}).get('what_level', {}).get('level_3')
# none_result -> None

WARNING: Please note that this technique only works if the expected key's value is a dictionary. If the key what_level did exist in the dictionary but its value was a string or integer etc., then it would've raised an AttributeError.

What's the difference between MyISAM and InnoDB?

MYISAM:

  1. MYISAM supports Table-level Locking
  2. MyISAM designed for need of speed
  3. MyISAM does not support foreign keys hence we call MySQL with MYISAM is DBMS
  4. MyISAM stores its tables, data and indexes in diskspace using separate three different files. (tablename.FRM, tablename.MYD, tablename.MYI)
  5. MYISAM not supports transaction. You cannot commit and rollback with MYISAM. Once you issue a command it’s done.
  6. MYISAM supports fulltext search
  7. You can use MyISAM, if the table is more static with lots of select and less update and delete.

INNODB:

  1. InnoDB supports Row-level Locking
  2. InnoDB designed for maximum performance when processing high volume of data
  3. InnoDB support foreign keys hence we call MySQL with InnoDB is RDBMS
  4. InnoDB stores its tables and indexes in a tablespace
  5. InnoDB supports transaction. You can commit and rollback with InnoDB

How to change Visual Studio 2012,2013 or 2015 License Key?

For those who will need to remove product key from Visual Studio 2015:

  1. remove registry key HKCR\Licenses\4D8CFBCB-2F6A-4AD2-BABF-10E28F6F2C8F
  2. repair Visual Studio installation

That's it, now you can change the product key if necessary.

How to list records with date from the last 10 days?

Just generalising the query if you want to work with any given date instead of current date:

SELECT Table.date
  FROM Table 
  WHERE Table.date > '2020-01-01'::date - interval '10 day'

Windows shell command to get the full path to the current directory?

On Windows, type cd for the working current path.

On Linux, pwd for the current working path.

Use '=' or LIKE to compare strings in SQL?

Just as a heads up, the '=' operator will pad strings with spaces in Transact-SQL. So 'abc' = 'abc ' will return true; 'abc' LIKE 'abc ' will return false. In most cases '=' will be correct, but in a recent case of mine it was not.

So while '=' is faster, LIKE might more explicitly state your intentions.

Simplest way to serve static data from outside the application server in a Java web application

If you decide to dispatch to FileServlet then you will also need allowLinking="true" in context.xml in order to allow FileServlet to traverse the symlinks.

How to disable CSS in Browser for testing purposes

For pages that rely on external CSS (most pages nowadays) a simple and reliable solution is to kill the head element:

document.querySelector("head").remove();

Right-click this page (in Chrome/Firefox), select Inspect, paste the code in the devtools console and press Enter.

A bookmarklet version of the same code that you can paste as the URL of a bookmark:

javascript:(function(){document.querySelector("head").remove();})()

Now clicking the bookmark on in your Favorites bar will show the page without any css stylesheets.

Removing the head will not work for pages that use inline styles.

If you happen to use Safari on MacOS then:

  1. Open Safari Preferences (cmd+,) and in the Advanced tab enable the checkbox "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
  2. Now under the Develop menu you will find a Disable Styles option.

Remove first 4 characters of a string with PHP

function String2Stars($string='',$first=0,$last=0,$rep='*'){
  $begin  = substr($string,0,$first);
  $middle = str_repeat($rep,strlen(substr($string,$first,$last)));
  $end    = substr($string,$last);
  $stars  = $begin.$middle.$end;
  return $stars;
}

example

$string = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
echo String2Stars($string,5,-5);   // abcde****************vwxyz

iOS Remote Debugging

There is an open bug on Chromium: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=584905

Unfortunately they depend on Apple to open up an API in WKView for this to happen, after which maybe debugging will be available from Safari.

Writing List of Strings to Excel CSV File in Python

Very simple to fix, you just need to turn the parameter to writerow into a list.

for item in RESULTS:
     wr.writerow([item,])

How to ignore the first line of data when processing CSV data?

Borrowed from python cookbook,
A more concise template code might look like this:

import csv
with open('stocks.csv') as f:
    f_csv = csv.reader(f) 
    headers = next(f_csv) 
    for row in f_csv:
        # Process row ...

Assign variable value inside if-statement

You can assign, but not declare, inside an if:

Try this:

int v; // separate declaration
if((v = someMethod()) != 0) return true;

Sass calculate percent minus px

IF you know the width of the container, you could do like this:

#container
  width: #{200}px
  #element
    width: #{(0.25 * 200) - 5}px

I'm aware that in many cases #container could have a relative width. Then this wouldn't work.

How to get access to job parameters from ItemReader, in Spring Batch?

Complement with an additional example, you can access all job parameters in JavaConfig class:

@Bean
@StepScope
public ItemStreamReader<GenericMessage> reader(@Value("#{jobParameters}") Map<String,Object> jobParameters){
          ....
}

When to choose mouseover() and hover() function?

You can try it out http://api.jquery.com/mouseover/ on the jQuery doc page. It's a nice little, interactive demo that makes it very clear and you can actually see for yourself.

In short, you'll notice that a mouse over event occurs on an element when you are over it - coming from either its child OR parent element, but a mouse enter event only occurs when the mouse moves from the parent element to the element.

File path to resource in our war/WEB-INF folder?

There's a couple ways of doing this. As long as the WAR file is expanded (a set of files instead of one .war file), you can use this API:

ServletContext context = getContext();
String fullPath = context.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/test/foo.txt");

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)

That will get you the full system path to the resource you are looking for. However, that won't work if the Servlet Container never expands the WAR file (like Tomcat). What will work is using the ServletContext's getResource methods.

ServletContext context = getContext();
URL resourceUrl = context.getResource("/WEB-INF/test/foo.txt");

or alternatively if you just want the input stream:

InputStream resourceContent = context.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/test/foo.txt");

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getResource(java.lang.String)

The latter approach will work no matter what Servlet Container you use and where the application is installed. The former approach will only work if the WAR file is unzipped before deployment.

EDIT: The getContext() method is obviously something you would have to implement. JSP pages make it available as the context field. In a servlet you get it from your ServletConfig which is passed into the servlet's init() method. If you store it at that time, you can get your ServletContext any time you want after that.

How to checkout a specific Subversion revision from the command line?

You should never use TortoiseProc.exe as a command-line Subversion client! TortoiseProc should be utilized only for automating TortoiseSVN's GUI. See the note in TortoiseSVN's Manual:

Remember that TortoiseSVN is a GUI client, and this automation guide shows you how to make the TortoiseSVN dialogs appear to collect user input. If you want to write a script which requires no input, you should use the official Subversion command line client instead.

Use the Subversion command-line svn.exe client. With the command-line client, you can

You may notice that with svn checkout and svn export you can enter REV number as --revision REV argument and as trailing @REV after URL. The first one is called operative revision, and the second one is called peg revision. Read SVNBook for more information about peg and operative revisions concept.

What does if __name__ == "__main__": do?

You can checkup for the special variable __name__ with this simple example:

create file1.py

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("file1 is being run directly")
else:
    print("file1 is being imported")

create file2.py

import file1 as f1

print("__name__ from file1: {}".format(f1.__name__))
print("__name__ from file2: {}".format(__name__))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("file2 is being run directly")
else:
    print("file2 is being imported")

Execute file2.py

output:

file1 is being imported
__name__ from file1: file1
__name__ from file2: __main__
file2 is being run directly

Change Git repository directory location.

Simply copy the entire working directory contents (including the hidden .git directory). This will move the entire working directory to the new directory and will not affect the remote repository on GitHub.

If you are using GitHub for Windows, you may move the repository using the method as above. However, when you click on the repository in the application it will be unable to find it. To resolve this simply click on the blue circle with the !, select Find It and then browse to the new directory.

Disable Tensorflow debugging information

You can disable all debugging logs using os.environ :

import os
os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3' 
import tensorflow as tf

Tested on tf 0.12 and 1.0

In details,

0 = all messages are logged (default behavior)
1 = INFO messages are not printed
2 = INFO and WARNING messages are not printed
3 = INFO, WARNING, and ERROR messages are not printed

ngFor with index as value in attribute

I think its already been answered before, but just a correction if you are populating an unordered list, the *ngFor will come in the element which you want to repeat. So it should be insdide <li>. Also, Angular2 now uses let to declare a variable.

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">     
               {{item}}
    </li>
</ul>

Disable browser 'Save Password' functionality

The real problem is much deeper than just adding attributes to your HTML - this is common security concern, that's why people invented hardware keys and other crazy things for security.

Imagine you have autocomplete="off" perfectly working in all browsers. Would that help with security? Of course, no. Users will write down their passwords in textbooks, on stickers attached to their monitor where every office visitor can see them, save them to text files on the desktop and so on.

Generally, web application and web developer isn't responsible in any way for end-user security. End-users can protect themselves only. Ideally, they MUST keep all passwords in their head and use password reset functionality (or contact administrator) in case they forgot it. Otherwise there always will be a risk that password can be seen and stolen somehow.

So either you have some crazy security policy with hardware keys (like, some banks offer for Internet-banking which basically employs two-factor authentication) or NO SECURITY basically. Well, this is a bit over exaggerated of course. It's important to understand what are you trying to protect against:

  1. Not authorised access. Simplest login form is enough basically. There sometimes additional measures taken like random security questions, CAPTCHAs, password hardening etc.
  2. Credential sniffing. HTTPS is A MUST if people access your web application from public Wi-Fi hotspots etc. Mention that even having HTTPS, your users need to change their passwords regularly.
  3. Insider attack. There are two many examples of such, starting from simple stealing of your passwords from browser or those that you have written down somewhere on the desk (does not require any IT skills) and ending with session forging and intercepting local network traffic (even encrypted) and further accessing web application just like it was another end-user.

In this particular post, I can see inadequate requirements put on developer which he will never be able to resolve due to the nature of the problem - end-user security. My subjective point is that developer should basically say NO and point on requirement problem rather than wasting time on such tasks, honestly. This does not absolutely make your system more secure, it will rather lead to the cases with stickers on monitors. Unfortunately, some bosses hear only what they want to hear. However, if I was you I would try to explain where the actual problem is coming from, and that autocomplete="off" would not resolve it unless it will force users to keep all their passwords exclusively in their head! Developer on his end cannot protect users completely, users need to know how to use system and at the same time do not expose their sensitive/secure information and this goes far beyond authentication.

jQuery delete all table rows except first

$('#table tr').slice(1).remove();

I remember coming across that 'slice' is faster than all other approaches, so just putting it here.

When to use AtomicReference in Java?

Another simple example is to do a safe-thread modification in a session object.

public PlayerScore getHighScore() {
    ServletContext ctx = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
    AtomicReference<PlayerScore> holder 
        = (AtomicReference<PlayerScore>) ctx.getAttribute("highScore");
    return holder.get();
}

public void updateHighScore(PlayerScore newScore) {
    ServletContext ctx = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
    AtomicReference<PlayerScore> holder 
        = (AtomicReference<PlayerScore>) ctx.getAttribute("highScore");
    while (true) {
        HighScore old = holder.get();
        if (old.score >= newScore.score)
            break;
        else if (holder.compareAndSet(old, newScore))
            break;
    } 
}

Rails select helper - Default selected value, how?

Alternatively, you could set the :project_id attribute in the controller, since the first argument of f.select pulls that particular attribute.

How to display pandas DataFrame of floats using a format string for columns?

Similar to unutbu above, you could also use applymap as follows:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([123.4567, 234.5678, 345.6789, 456.7890],
                  index=['foo','bar','baz','quux'],
                  columns=['cost'])

df = df.applymap("${0:.2f}".format)

How do you get a string from a MemoryStream?

You can also use

Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ms.ToArray());

I don't think this is less efficient, but I couldn't swear to it. It also lets you choose a different encoding, whereas using a StreamReader you'd have to specify that as a parameter.

get UTC timestamp in python with datetime

If input datetime object is in UTC:

>>> dt = datetime(2008, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
>>> timestamp = (dt - datetime(1970, 1, 1)).total_seconds()
1199145600.0

Note: it returns float i.e., microseconds are represented as fractions of a second.

If input date object is in UTC:

>>> from datetime import date
>>> utc_date = date(2008, 1, 1)
>>> timestamp = (utc_date.toordinal() - date(1970, 1, 1).toordinal()) * 24*60*60
1199145600

See more details at Converting datetime.date to UTC timestamp in Python.

SQL Developer with JDK (64 bit) cannot find JVM

I had the same problem and solved it by copying the MSVCR100.dll file from sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin to the sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin folder.

Credit goes to Erik Anderson from SQL Developer failed to start


Note that different versions of SQL Developer need different versions of MSVCR*.dll. Various comments below have offered which versions worked for them.

“Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin” error for request made by application running from a file:// URL

Not all servers support jsonp. It requires the server to set the callback function in it's results. I use this to get json responses from sites that return pure json but don't support jsonp:

Converting an int into a 4 byte char array (C)

In your question, you stated that you want to convert a user input of 175 to 00000000 00000000 00000000 10101111, which is big endian byte ordering, also known as network byte order.

A mostly portable way to convert your unsigned integer to a big endian unsigned char array, as you suggested from that "175" example you gave, would be to use C's htonl() function (defined in the header <arpa/inet.h> on Linux systems) to convert your unsigned int to big endian byte order, then use memcpy() (defined in the header <string.h> for C, <cstring> for C++) to copy the bytes into your char (or unsigned char) array.

The htonl() function takes in an unsigned 32-bit integer as an argument (in contrast to htons(), which takes in an unsigned 16-bit integer) and converts it to network byte order from the host byte order (hence the acronym, Host TO Network Long, versus Host TO Network Short for htons), returning the result as an unsigned 32-bit integer. The purpose of this family of functions is to ensure that all network communications occur in big endian byte order, so that all machines can communicate with each other over a socket without byte order issues. (As an aside, for big-endian machines, the htonl(), htons(), ntohl() and ntohs() functions are generally compiled to just be a 'no op', because the bytes do not need to be flipped around before they are sent over or received from a socket since they're already in the proper byte order)

Here's the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
    unsigned int number = 175;

    unsigned int number2 = htonl(number);
    char numberStr[4];
    memcpy(numberStr, &number2, 4);

    printf("%x %x %x %x\n", numberStr[0], numberStr[1], numberStr[2], numberStr[3]);

    return 0;
}

Note that, as caf said, you have to print the characters as unsigned characters using printf's %x format specifier.

The above code prints 0 0 0 af on my machine (an x86_64 machine, which uses little endian byte ordering), which is hex for 175.

Changing MongoDB data store directory

Copy the contents of /var/lib/mongodb to /data/db. The files you should be looking for should have names like your_db_name.ns and your_dbname.n where n is a number starting with 0. If you do not see such files under /var/lib/mongodb, search for them on your filesystem.

Once copied over, use --dbpath=/data/db when starting MongoDB via the mongod command.

How do I make an image smaller with CSS?

You can try this:

-ms-transform: scale(width,height); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: scale(width,height); /* Safari */
transform: scale(width, height);

Example: image "grows" 1.3 times

-ms-transform: scale(1.3,1.3); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: scale(1.3,1.3); /* Safari */
transform: scale(1.3,1.3);

undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init()'

You can resolve this in several ways:

  • Use g++ in stead of gcc: g++ -g -o MatSim MatSim.cpp
  • Add -lstdc++: gcc -g -o MatSim MatSim.cpp -lstdc++
  • Replace <string.h> by <string>

This is a linker problem, not a compiler issue. The same problem is covered in the question iostream linker error – it explains what is going on.

React-Native Button style not work

If you do not want to create your own button component, a quick and dirty solution is to wrap the button in a view, which allows you to at least apply layout styling.

For example this would create a row of buttons:

<View style={{flexDirection: 'row'}}>
    <View style={{flex:1 , marginRight:10}} >
        <Button title="Save" onPress={() => {}}></Button>
    </View>
    <View style={{flex:1}} >
        <Button title="Cancel" onPress={() => {}}></Button>
    </View>
</View>

Can I set state inside a useEffect hook

For future purposes, this may help too:

It's ok to use setState in useEffect you just need to have attention as described already to not create a loop.

But it's not the only problem that may occur. See below:

Imagine that you have a component Comp that receives props from parent and according to a props change you want to set Comp's state. For some reason, you need to change for each prop in a different useEffect:

DO NOT DO THIS

useEffect(() => {
  setState({ ...state, a: props.a });
}, [props.a]);

useEffect(() => {
  setState({ ...state, b: props.b });
}, [props.b]);

It may never change the state of a as you can see in this example: https://codesandbox.io/s/confident-lederberg-dtx7w

The reason why this happen in this example it's because both useEffects run in the same react cycle when you change both prop.a and prop.b so the value of {...state} when you do setState are exactly the same in both useEffect because they are in the same context. When you run the second setState it will replace the first setState.

DO THIS INSTEAD

The solution for this problem is basically call setState like this:

useEffect(() => {
  setState(state => ({ ...state, a: props.a }));
}, [props.a]);

useEffect(() => {
  setState(state => ({ ...state, b: props.b }));
}, [props.b]);

Check the solution here: https://codesandbox.io/s/mutable-surf-nynlx

Now, you always receive the most updated and correct value of the state when you proceed with the setState.

I hope this helps someone!

Assert equals between 2 Lists in Junit

if you don't want to build up an array list , you can try this also

@Test
public void test_array_pass()

  List<String> list = Arrays.asList("fee", "fi", "foe");
  Strint listToString = list.toString();
  Assert.assertTrue(listToString.contains("[fee, fi, foe]"));   // passes  
}

Print string to text file

If you are using Python3.

then you can use Print Function :

your_data = {"Purchase Amount": 'TotalAmount'}
print(your_data,  file=open('D:\log.txt', 'w'))

For python2

this is the example of Python Print String To Text File

def my_func():
    """
    this function return some value
    :return:
    """
    return 25.256


def write_file(data):
    """
    this function write data to file
    :param data:
    :return:
    """
    file_name = r'D:\log.txt'
    with open(file_name, 'w') as x_file:
        x_file.write('{} TotalAmount'.format(data))


def run():
    data = my_func()
    write_file(data)

How to initailize byte array of 100 bytes in java with all 0's

Update date + one year in mysql

You could use DATE_ADD : (or ADDDATE with INTERVAL)

UPDATE table SET date = DATE_ADD(date, INTERVAL 1 YEAR) 

Can I store images in MySQL

You can store images in MySQL as blobs. However, this is problematic for a couple of reasons:

  • The images can be harder to manipulate: you must first retrieve them from the database before bulk operations can be performed.
  • Except in very rare cases where the entire database is stored in RAM, MySQL databases are ultimately stored on disk. This means that your DB images are converted to blobs, inserted into a database, and then stored on disk; you can save a lot of overhead by simply storing them on disk.

Instead, consider updating your table to add an image_path field. For example:

ALTER TABLE `your_table`
ADD COLUMN `image_path` varchar(1024)

Then store your images on disk, and update the table with the image path. When you need to use the images, retrieve them from disk using the path specified.

An advantageous side-effect of this approach is that the images do not necessarily be stored on disk; you could just as easily store a URL instead of an image path, and retrieve images from any internet-connected location.

Column calculated from another column?

You can use generated columns from MYSQL 5.7.

Example Usage:

ALTER TABLE tbl_test
ADD COLUMN calc_val INT 
GENERATED ALWAYS AS (((`column1` - 1) * 16) + `column2`) STORED;

VIRTUAL / STORED

  • Virtual: calculated on the fly when a record is read from a table (default)
  • Stored: calculated when a new record is inserted/updated within the table

  • Copy / Paste values
  • Insert a new pivot table

Gson: Is there an easier way to serialize a map

Only the TypeToken part is neccesary (when there are Generics involved).

Map<String, String> myMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
myMap.put("one", "hello");
myMap.put("two", "world");

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
String json = gson.toJson(myMap);

System.out.println(json);

Type typeOfHashMap = new TypeToken<Map<String, String>>() { }.getType();
Map<String, String> newMap = gson.fromJson(json, typeOfHashMap); // This type must match TypeToken
System.out.println(newMap.get("one"));
System.out.println(newMap.get("two"));

Output:

{"two":"world","one":"hello"}
hello
world

Slide right to left Android Animations

You can do Your own Animation style as an xml file like this(put it in anim folder):

left to right:

  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:shareInterpolator="false">
        <translate android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
         android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
         android:duration="500"/>
  </set>

right to left:

    <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:shareInterpolator="false">
     <translate
        android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="100%"
        android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
        android:duration="500" />
   </set>

here You can set Your own values at duration, maybe it depends on the phone model how the animation will look like, try some values out if it looks not good.

and then You can call it in Your activity:

     Intent animActivity = new Intent(this,YourStartAfterAnimActivity.class);
      startActivity(nextActivity);

      overridePendingTransition(R.anim.your_left_to_right, R.anim.your_right_to_left);

Casting string to enum

As an extra, you can take the Enum.Parse answers already provided and put them in an easy-to-use static method in a helper class.

public static T ParseEnum<T>(string value)
{
    return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), value, ignoreCase: true);
}

And use it like so:

{
   Content = ParseEnum<ContentEnum>(fileContentMessage);
};

Especially helpful if you have lots of (different) Enums to parse.

Appending the same string to a list of strings in Python

list2 = ['%sbar' % (x,) for x in list]

How to set time to a date object in java

I should like to contribute the modern answer. This involves using java.time, the modern Java date and time API, and not the old Date nor Calendar except where there’s no way to avoid it.

Your issue is very likely really a timezone issue. When it is Tue Aug 09 00:00:00 IST 2011, in time zones west of IST midnight has not yet been reached. It is still Aug 8. If for example your API for putting the date into Excel expects UTC, the date will be the day before the one you intended. I believe the real and good solution is to produce a date-time of 00:00 UTC (or whatever time zone or offset is expected and used at the other end).

    LocalDate yourDate = LocalDate.of(2018, Month.FEBRUARY, 27);
    ZonedDateTime utcDateDime = yourDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneOffset.UTC);
    System.out.println(utcDateDime);

This prints

2018-02-27T00:00Z

Z means UTC (think of it as offset zero from UTC or Zulu time zone). Better still, of course, if you could pass the LocalDate from the first code line to Excel. It doesn’t include time-of-day, so there is no confusion possible. On the other hand, if you need an old-fashioned Date object for that, convert just before handing the Date on:

    Date oldfashionedDate = Date.from(utcDateDime.toInstant());
    System.out.println(oldfashionedDate);

On my computer this prints

Tue Feb 27 01:00:00 CET 2018

Don’t be fooled, it is correct. My time zone (Central European Time) is at offset +01:00 from UTC in February (standard time), so 01:00:00 here is equal to 00:00:00 UTC. It’s just Date.toString() grabbing the JVMs time zone and using it for producing the string.

How can I set it to something like 5:30 pm?

To answer your direct question directly, if you have a ZonedDateTime, OffsetDateTime or LocalDateTime, in all of these cases the following will accomplish what you asked for:

    yourDateTime = yourDateTime.with(LocalTime.of(17, 30));

If yourDateTime was a LocalDateTime of 2018-02-27T00:00, it will now be 2018-02-27T17:30. Similarly for the other types, only they include offset and time zone too as appropriate.

If you only had a date, as in the first snippet above, you can also add time-of-day information to it:

    LocalDate yourDate = LocalDate.of(2018, Month.FEBRUARY, 27);
    LocalDateTime dateTime = yourDate.atTime(LocalTime.of(17, 30));

For most purposes you should prefer to add the time-of-day in a specific time zone, though, for example

    ZonedDateTime dateTime = yourDate.atTime(LocalTime.of(17, 30))
            .atZone(ZoneId.of("Asia/Kolkata"));

This yields 2018-02-27T17:30+05:30[Asia/Kolkata].

Date and Calendar vs java.time

The Date class that you use as well as Calendar and SimpleDateFormat used in the other answers are long outdated, and SimpleDateFormat in particular has proven troublesome. In all cases the modern Java date and time API is so much nicer to work with. Which is why I wanted to provide this answer to an old question that is still being visited.

Link: Oracle Tutorial Date Time, explaining how to use java.time.

Is it possible to use global variables in Rust?

Heap allocations are possible for static variables if you use the lazy_static macro as seen in the docs

Using this macro, it is possible to have statics that require code to be executed at runtime in order to be initialized. This includes anything requiring heap allocations, like vectors or hash maps, as well as anything that requires function calls to be computed.

// Declares a lazily evaluated constant HashMap. The HashMap will be evaluated once and
// stored behind a global static reference.

use lazy_static::lazy_static;
use std::collections::HashMap;

lazy_static! {
    static ref PRIVILEGES: HashMap<&'static str, Vec<&'static str>> = {
        let mut map = HashMap::new();
        map.insert("James", vec!["user", "admin"]);
        map.insert("Jim", vec!["user"]);
        map
    };
}

fn show_access(name: &str) {
    let access = PRIVILEGES.get(name);
    println!("{}: {:?}", name, access);
}

fn main() {
    let access = PRIVILEGES.get("James");
    println!("James: {:?}", access);

    show_access("Jim");
}

Is there an easy way to check the .NET Framework version?

This is the solution I landed on:

private static string GetDotNetVersion()
{
  var v4 = (string)Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full", false)?.GetValue("Version");
  if(v4 != null)
    return v4;
  var v35 = (string)Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5", false)?.GetValue("Version");
  if(v35 != null)
    return v35;
  var v3 = (string)Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.0", false)?.GetValue("Version");
  return v3 ?? "< 3";
}

How to remove element from array in forEach loop?

Although Xotic750's answer provides several good points and possible solutions, sometimes simple is better.

You know the array being iterated on is being mutated in the iteration itself (i.e. removing an item => index changes), thus the simplest logic is to go backwards in an old fashioned for (à la C language):

_x000D_
_x000D_
let arr = ['a', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'a', 'a'];_x000D_
_x000D_
for (let i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {_x000D_
  if (arr[i] === 'a') {_x000D_
    arr.splice(i, 1);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
document.body.append(arr.join());
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

If you really think about it, a forEach is just syntactic sugar for a for loop... So if it's not helping you, just please stop breaking your head against it.

How to use select/option/NgFor on an array of objects in Angular2

I don't know what things were like in the alpha, but I'm using beta 12 right now and this works fine. If you have an array of objects, create a select like this:

<select [(ngModel)]="simpleValue"> // value is a string or number
    <option *ngFor="let obj of objArray" [value]="obj.value">{{obj.name}}</option>
</select>

If you want to match on the actual object, I'd do it like this:

<select [(ngModel)]="objValue"> // value is an object
    <option *ngFor="let obj of objArray" [ngValue]="obj">{{obj.name}}</option>
</select>

Is there a way to use PhantomJS in Python?

The easiest way to use PhantomJS in python is via Selenium. The simplest installation method is

  1. Install NodeJS
  2. Using Node's package manager install phantomjs: npm -g install phantomjs-prebuilt
  3. install selenium (in your virtualenv, if you are using that)

After installation, you may use phantom as simple as:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() # or add to your PATH
driver.set_window_size(1024, 768) # optional
driver.get('https://google.com/')
driver.save_screenshot('screen.png') # save a screenshot to disk
sbtn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button.gbqfba')
sbtn.click()

If your system path environment variable isn't set correctly, you'll need to specify the exact path as an argument to webdriver.PhantomJS(). Replace this:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() # or add to your PATH

... with the following:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs')

Get year, month or day from numpy datetime64

Use dates.tolist() to convert to native datetime objects, then simply access year. Example:

>>> dates = np.array(['2010-10-17', '2011-05-13', '2012-01-15'], dtype='datetime64')
>>> [x.year for x in dates.tolist()]
[2010, 2011, 2012]

This is basically the same idea exposed in https://stackoverflow.com/a/35281829/2192272, but using simpler syntax.

Tested with python 3.6 / numpy 1.18.

after that use it in the layout containing the xml:

<SeekBar
    android:id="@+id/myseekbar"
    ...
    android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress"
    />

you can also customize the thumb by using a custom icon seek_thumb.png:

Twitter - How to embed native video from someone else's tweet into a New Tweet or a DM

I eventually figured out an easy way to do it:

  1. On your Twitter feed, click the date/time of the tweet containing the video. That will open the single tweet view
  2. Look for the down-pointing arrow at the top-right corner of the tweet, click it to open drop-down menue
  3. Select the "Embed Video" option and copy the HTML embed code and Paste it to Notepad
  4. Find the last "t.co" shortened URL inside the HTML code (should be something like this: https://``t.co/tQM43ftXyM). Copy this URL and paste it in a new browser tab.
  5. The browser will expand the shortened URL to something which looks like this: https://twitter.com/UserName/status/828267001496784896/video/1

This is the link to the Twitter Card containing the native video. Pasting this link in a new tweet or DM will include the native video in it!

See where the strings end? There are spaces before the lines (indentation), but also spaces after.

Use your editor to find the end of the line and backspace. Many modern text editors can also automatically remove trailing whitespace from the end of the line, for example every time you save a file.

no module named urllib.parse (How should I install it?)

With the information you have provided, your best bet will be to use Python 3.x.

Your error suggests that the code may have been written for Python 3 given that it is trying to import urllib.parse. If you've written the software and have control over its source code, you should change the import to:

from urlparse import urlparse

urllib was split into urllib.parse, urllib.request, and urllib.error in Python 3.

I suggest that you take a quick look at software collections in CentOS if you are not able to change the imports for some reason. You can bring in Python 3.3 like this:

  1. yum install centos­-release­-SCL
  2. yum install python33
  3. scl enable python33

Making div content responsive

Not a lot to go on there, but I think what you're looking for is to flip the width and max-width values:

#container2 {
  width: 90%;
  max-width: 960px;
  /* etc, etc... */
}

That'll give you a container that's 90% of the width of the available space, up to a maximum of 960px, but that's dependent on its container being resizable itself. Responsive design is a whole big ball of wax though, so this doesn't even scratch the surface.
