Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

I will give you a simple solution for this one. In my case I don't have access to a server. In that case you can change the security policy in your Google Chrome browser to allow Access-Control-Allow-Origin. This is very simple:

Create a Chrome browser shortcut
Right click short cut icon -> Properties -> Shortcut -> Target

Simple paste in "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security.

The location may differ. Now open Chrome by clicking on that shortcut.

Adding <script> to WordPress in <head> element

In your theme's functions.php:

function my_custom_js() {
    echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.js"></script>';
}
// Add hook for admin <head></head>
add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_custom_js' );
// Add hook for front-end <head></head>
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_custom_js' );

How to show loading spinner in jQuery?

Note that you must use asynchronous calls for spinners to work (at least that is what caused mine to not show until after the ajax call and then swiftly went away as the call had finished and removed the spinner).

$.ajax({
        url: requestUrl,
        data: data,
        dataType: 'JSON',
        processData: false,
        type: requestMethod,
        async: true,                         <<<<<<------ set async to true
        accepts: 'application/json',
        contentType: 'application/json',
        success: function (restResponse) {
            // something here
        },
        error: function (restResponse) {
            // something here                
        }
    });

Use basic authentication with jQuery and Ajax

As others have suggested, you can set the username and password directly in the Ajax call:

$.ajax({
  username: username,
  password: password,
  // ... other parameters.
});

OR use the headers property if you would rather not store your credentials in plain text:

$.ajax({
  headers: {"Authorization": "Basic xxxx"},
  // ... other parameters.
});

Whichever way you send it, the server has to be very polite. For Apache, your .htaccess file should look something like this:

<LimitExcept OPTIONS>
    AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Whatever"
    Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>

Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers Authorization
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true

SetEnvIf Origin "^(.*?)$" origin_is=$0
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin %{origin_is}e env=origin_is

Explanation:

For some cross domain requests, the browser sends a preflight OPTIONS request that is missing your authentication headers. Wrap your authentication directives inside the LimitExcept tag to respond properly to the preflight.

Then send a few headers to tell the browser that it is allowed to authenticate, and the Access-Control-Allow-Origin to grant permission for the cross-site request.

In some cases, the * wildcard doesn't work as a value for Access-Control-Allow-Origin: You need to return the exact domain of the callee. Use SetEnvIf to capture this value.

NoSQL Use Case Scenarios or WHEN to use NoSQL

It really is an "it depends" kinda question. Some general points:

NoSQL is typically good for unstructured/"schemaless" data - usually, you don't need to explicitly define your schema up front and can just include new fields without any ceremony
NoSQL typically favours a denormalised schema due to no support for JOINs per the RDBMS world. So you would usually have a flattened, denormalized representation of your data.
Using NoSQL doesn't mean you could lose data. Different DBs have different strategies. e.g. MongoDB - you can essentially choose what level to trade off performance vs potential for data loss - best performance = greater scope for data loss.
It's often very easy to scale out NoSQL solutions. Adding more nodes to replicate data to is one way to a) offer more scalability and b) offer more protection against data loss if one node goes down. But again, depends on the NoSQL DB/configuration. NoSQL does not necessarily mean "data loss" like you infer.
IMHO, complex/dynamic queries/reporting are best served from an RDBMS. Often the query functionality for a NoSQL DB is limited.
It doesn't have to be a 1 or the other choice. My experience has been using RDBMS in conjunction with NoSQL for certain use cases.
NoSQL DBs often lack the ability to perform atomic operations across multiple "tables".

You really need to look at and understand what the various types of NoSQL stores are, and how they go about providing scalability/data security etc. It's difficult to give an across-the-board answer as they really are all different and tackle things differently.

For MongoDb as an example, check out their Use Cases to see what they suggest as being "well suited" and "less well suited" uses of MongoDb.

Resolving IP Address from hostname with PowerShell

You could use vcsjones's solution, but this might cause problems with further ping/tracert commands, since the result is an array of addresses and you need only one.

To select the proper address, Send an ICMP echo request and read the Address property of the echo reply:

$ping = New-Object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$ip = $($ping.Send("yourhosthere").Address).IPAddressToString

Though the remarks from the documentation say:

The Address returned by any of the Send overloads can originate from a malicious remote computer. Do not connect to the remote computer using this address. Use DNS to determine the IP address of the machine to which you want to connect.

send mail from linux terminal in one line

mail can represent quite a couple of programs on a linux system. What you want behind it is either sendmail or postfix. I recommend the latter.

You can install it via your favorite package manager. Then you have to configure it, and once you have done that, you can send email like this:

 echo "My message" | mail -s subject [email protected]

See the manual for more information.

As far as configuring postfix goes, there's plenty of articles on the internet on how to do it. Unless you're on a public server with a registered domain, you generally want to forward the email to a SMTP server that you can send email from.

For gmail, for example, follow http://rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/ubuntu-postfix-gmail-smtp/ or any other similar tutorial.

curl usage to get header

curl --head https://www.example.net

Warning: way you want. Consider using -I/--head instead.

Prevent any form of page refresh using jQuery/Javascript

Although its not a good idea to disable F5 key you can do it in JQuery as below.

<script type="text/javascript">
function disableF5(e) { if ((e.which || e.keyCode) == 116 || (e.which || e.keyCode) == 82) e.preventDefault(); };

$(document).ready(function(){
     $(document).on("keydown", disableF5);
});
</script>

Hope this will help!

Changing background color of selected cell?

I had a recent issue with an update to Swift 5 where the table view would flash select and then deselect the selected cell. I tried several of the solutions here and none worked. The solution is setting clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear to false.

I had previously used the UIView and selectedBackgroundColor property, so I kept with that approach.

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
  let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "popoverCell", for: indexPath) as! PopoverCell

  let backgroundView = UIView()
  backgroundView.backgroundColor = Color.Blue
  cell.selectedBackgroundView = backgroundView
}

Below are the changes I needed for Swift 5. The property clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear was the reason my cells were deselecting. The following select was necessary on first load.

override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = false
  popoverTableView.selectRow(at: selectedIndexPath, animated: false, scrollPosition: .none)
}

Copy multiple files in Python

You can use os.listdir() to get the files in the source directory, os.path.isfile() to see if they are regular files (including symbolic links on *nix systems), and shutil.copy to do the copying.

The following code copies only the regular files from the source directory into the destination directory (I'm assuming you don't want any sub-directories copied).

import os
import shutil
src_files = os.listdir(src)
for file_name in src_files:
    full_file_name = os.path.join(src, file_name)
    if os.path.isfile(full_file_name):
        shutil.copy(full_file_name, dest)

Find which rows have different values for a given column in Teradata SQL

Personally, I would print them to a file using Perl or Python in the format

<COL_NAME>:  <COL_VAL>

for each row so that the file has as many lines as there are columns. Then I'd do a diff between the two files, assuming you are on Unix or compare them using some equivalent utilty on another OS. If you have multiple recordsets (i.e. more than one row), I would prepend to each file row and then the file would have NUM_DB_ROWS * NUM_COLS lines

Seeing the console's output in Visual Studio 2010?

I run into this frequently for some reason, and I can't fathom why this solution hasn't been mentioned:

Click View ? Output (or just hold Ctrl and hit W > O)

Console output then appears where your Error List, Locals, and Watch windows are.

Note: I'm using Visual Studio 2015.

'Connect-MsolService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

All links to the Azure Active Directory Connection page now seem to be invalid.

I had an older version of Azure AD installed too, this is what worked for me. Install this.

Run these in an elevated PS session:

uninstall-module AzureAD  # this may or may not be needed
install-module AzureAD
install-module AzureADPreview
install-module MSOnline

I was then able to log in and run what I needed.

SQL, Postgres OIDs, What are they and why are they useful?

If you still use OID, it would be better to remove the dependency on it, because in recent versions of Postgres it is no longer supported. This can stop (temporarily until you solve it) your migration from version 10 to 12 for example.

Android Webview - Webpage should fit the device screen

You have to use HTML in your webView in this case. I solved this using following code

webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,
                "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body style = \"text-align:center\"><img src= "
                        + \"http://www.koenvangorp.be/photos/2005_09_16-moon_2000.jpg\"
                        + " alt=\"pageNo\" width=\"100%\"></body></html>",
                "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

Visual Studio C# IntelliSense not automatically displaying

I had the file excluded from the project so i was not able to debug and have intellisense on that file. Including the file back into the project solved my problem! :)

Tokenizing Error: java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException, dangling metacharacter '*'

It is because * is used as a metacharacter to signify one or more occurences of previous character. So if i write M* then it will look for files MMMMMM..... ! Here you are using * as the only character so the compiler is looking for the character to find multiple occurences of,so it throws the exception.:)

How to prevent scrollbar from repositioning web page?

With scroll always being shown, maybe be not good for layout.

Try to limit body width with css3

body {
    width: calc(100vw - 34px);
}

vw is the width of the viewport (see this link for some explanation)
calc calculate in css3
34px stands for double scrollbar width (see this for fixed or this to calculate if you don't trust fixed sizes)

Python 3: UnboundLocalError: local variable referenced before assignment

I don't like this behavior, but this is how Python works. The question has already been answered by others, but for completeness, let me point out that Python 2 has more such quirks.

def f(x):
    return x

def main():
    print f(3)
    if (True):
        print [f for f in [1, 2, 3]]

main()

Python 2.7.6 returns an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "weird.py", line 9, in <module>
    main()
  File "weird.py", line 5, in main
    print f(3)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'f' referenced before assignment

Python sees the f is used as a local variable in [f for f in [1, 2, 3]], and decides that it is also a local variable in f(3). You could add a global f statement:

def f(x):
    return x

def main():
    global f
    print f(3)
    if (True):
        print [f for f in [1, 2, 3]]

main()

It does work; however, f becomes 3 at the end... That is, print [f for f in [1, 2, 3]] now changes the global variable f to 3, so it is not a function any more.

Fortunately, it works fine in Python3 after adding the parentheses to print.

How to get row count in sqlite using Android?

Do you see what the DatabaseUtils.queryNumEntries() does? It's awful! I use this.

public int getRowNumberByArgs(Object... args) {
    String where = compileWhere(args);
    String raw = String.format("SELECT count(*) FROM %s WHERE %s;", TABLE_NAME, where);
    Cursor c = getWriteableDatabase().rawQuery(raw, null);
    try {
        return (c.moveToFirst()) ? c.getInt(0) : 0;
    } finally {
        c.close();
    }
}

The difference between the Runnable and Callable interfaces in Java

Difference between Callable and Runnable are following:

Callable is introduced in JDK 5.0 but Runnable is introduced in JDK 1.0
Callable has call() method but Runnable has run() method.
Callable has call method which returns value but Runnable has run method which doesn't return any value.
call method can throw checked exception but run method can't throw checked exception.
Callable use submit() method to put in task queue but Runnable use execute() method to put in the task queue.

How to make connection to Postgres via Node.js

One solution can be using pool of clients like the following:

const { Pool } = require('pg');
var config = {
    user: 'foo', 
    database: 'my_db', 
    password: 'secret', 
    host: 'localhost', 
    port: 5432, 
    max: 10, // max number of clients in the pool
    idleTimeoutMillis: 30000
};
const pool = new Pool(config);
pool.on('error', function (err, client) {
    console.error('idle client error', err.message, err.stack);
});
pool.query('SELECT $1::int AS number', ['2'], function(err, res) {
    if(err) {
        return console.error('error running query', err);
    }
    console.log('number:', res.rows[0].number);
});

Add Custom Headers using HttpWebRequest

How to prevent going back to the previous activity?

There are two solutions for your case, activity A starts activity B, but you do not want to back to activity A in activity B.

1. Removed previous activity A from back stack.

    Intent intent = new Intent(activityA.this, activityB.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish(); // Destroy activity A and not exist in Back stack

2. Disabled go back button action in activity B.

There are two ways to prevent go back event as below,

1) Recommend approach

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
}

2)Override onKeyDown method

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if(keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
        return false;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Hope that it is useful, but still depends on your situations.

Capturing "Delete" Keypress with jQuery

event.key === "Delete"

More recent and much cleaner: use event.key. No more arbitrary number codes!

NOTE: The old properties (.keyCode and .which) are Deprecated.

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    const key = event.key; // const {key} = event; ES6+
    if (key === "Delete") {
        // Do things
    }
});

how to convert string into time format and add two hours

This example is a Sum for Date time and Time Zone(String Values)

String DateVal = "2015-03-26 12:00:00";
String TimeVal = "02:00:00";

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

Date reslt = sdf.parse( DateVal );
Date timeZ = sdf2.parse( TimeVal );
//Increase Date Time
reslt.setHours( reslt.getHours() + timeZ.getHours());
reslt.setMinutes( reslt.getMinutes() + timeZ.getMinutes());
reslt.setSeconds( reslt.getSeconds() + timeZ.getSeconds());

System.printLn.out( sdf.format(reslt) );//Result(+2 Hours):  2015-03-26 14:00:00

Thanks :)

Understanding Chrome network log "Stalled" state

My case is the page is sending multiple requests with different parameters when it was open. So most are being "stalled". Following requests immediately sent gets "stalled". Avoiding unnecessary requests would be better (to be lazy...).

How do I make jQuery wait for an Ajax call to finish before it returns?

If you don't want the $.ajax() function to return immediately, set the async option to false:

$(".my_link").click(
    function(){
    $.ajax({
        url: $(this).attr('href'),
        type: 'GET',
        async: false,
        cache: false,
        timeout: 30000,
        fail: function(){
            return true;
        },
        done: function(msg){ 
            if (parseFloat(msg)){
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
            }
        }
    });
});

But, I would note that this would be counter to the point of AJAX. Also, you should be handling the response in the fail and done functions. Those functions will only be called when the response is received from the server.

how to change the default positioning of modal in bootstrap?

If you need to change the bottom position of the modal, you need to modify the max-height of the modal-body:

.modal-body {
  max-height: 75vh;
}

As other answers have said, you can adjust the right and top on the modal-dialog :

.modal-dialog {
  top: 10vh;
  right: 5vw;
}

"vh" means "% of view height"
"vw" means "% of view width"

Add primary key to existing table

ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME ADD PRIMARY KEY(`persionId`,`Pname`,`PMID`)

How to get margin value of a div in plain JavaScript?

Also, you can create your own outerHeight for HTML elements. I don't know if it works in IE, but it works in Chrome. Perhaps, you can enhance the code below using currentStyle, suggested in the answer above.

Object.defineProperty(Element.prototype, 'outerHeight', {
    'get': function(){
        var height = this.clientHeight;
        var computedStyle = window.getComputedStyle(this); 
        height += parseInt(computedStyle.marginTop, 10);
        height += parseInt(computedStyle.marginBottom, 10);
        height += parseInt(computedStyle.borderTopWidth, 10);
        height += parseInt(computedStyle.borderBottomWidth, 10);
        return height;
    }
});

This piece of code allow you to do something like this:

document.getElementById('foo').outerHeight

According to caniuse.com, getComputedStyle is supported by main browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox).

How to decrypt an encrypted Apple iTunes iPhone backup?

Security researchers Jean-Baptiste Bédrune and Jean Sigwald presented how to do this at Hack-in-the-box Amsterdam 2011.

Since then, Apple has released an iOS Security Whitepaper with more details about keys and algorithms, and Charlie Miller et al. have released the iOS Hacker’s Handbook, which covers some of the same ground in a how-to fashion. When iOS 10 first came out there were changes to the backup format which Apple did not publicize at first, but various people reverse-engineered the format changes.

Encrypted backups are great

The great thing about encrypted iPhone backups is that they contain things like WiFi passwords that aren’t in regular unencrypted backups. As discussed in the iOS Security Whitepaper, encrypted backups are considered more “secure,” so Apple considers it ok to include more sensitive information in them.

An important warning: obviously, decrypting your iOS device’s backup removes its encryption. To protect your privacy and security, you should only run these scripts on a machine with full-disk encryption. While it is possible for a security expert to write software that protects keys in memory, e.g. by using functions like VirtualLock() and SecureZeroMemory() among many other things, these Python scripts will store your encryption keys and passwords in strings to be garbage-collected by Python. This means your secret keys and passwords will live in RAM for a while, from whence they will leak into your swap file and onto your disk, where an adversary can recover them. This completely defeats the point of having an encrypted backup.

How to decrypt backups: in theory

The iOS Security Whitepaper explains the fundamental concepts of per-file keys, protection classes, protection class keys, and keybags better than I can. If you’re not already familiar with these, take a few minutes to read the relevant parts.

Now you know that every file in iOS is encrypted with its own random per-file encryption key, belongs to a protection class, and the per-file encryption keys are stored in the filesystem metadata, wrapped in the protection class key.

To decrypt:

Decode the keybag stored in the BackupKeyBag entry of Manifest.plist. A high-level overview of this structure is given in the whitepaper. The iPhone Wiki describes the binary format: a 4-byte string type field, a 4-byte big-endian length field, and then the value itself.

The important values are the PBKDF2 ITERations and SALT, the double protection salt DPSL and iteration count DPIC, and then for each protection CLS, the WPKY wrapped key.
Using the backup password derive a 32-byte key using the correct PBKDF2 salt and number of iterations. First use a SHA256 round with DPSL and DPIC, then a SHA1 round with ITER and SALT.

Unwrap each wrapped key according to RFC 3394.
Decrypt the manifest database by pulling the 4-byte protection class and longer key from the ManifestKey in Manifest.plist, and unwrapping it. You now have a SQLite database with all file metadata.
For each file of interest, get the class-encrypted per-file encryption key and protection class code by looking in the Files.file database column for a binary plist containing EncryptionKey and ProtectionClass entries. Strip the initial four-byte length tag from EncryptionKey before using.

Then, derive the final decryption key by unwrapping it with the class key that was unwrapped with the backup password. Then decrypt the file using AES in CBC mode with a zero IV.

How to decrypt backups: in practice

First you’ll need some library dependencies. If you’re on a mac using a homebrew-installed Python 2.7 or 3.7, you can install the dependencies with:

CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl/lib" \    
    pip install biplist fastpbkdf2 pycrypto

The iphone-dataprotection code posted by Bédrune and Sigwald can decrypt the keychain from a backup, including fun things like saved wifi and website passwords:

$ python iphone-dataprotection/python_scripts/keychain_tool.py ...

That code no longer works on backups from phones using the latest iOS, but there are some golang ports that have been kept up to date allowing access to the keychain.

Comparing Java enum members: == or equals()?

Here is a crude timing test to compare the two:

import java.util.Date;

public class EnumCompareSpeedTest {

    static enum TestEnum {ONE, TWO, THREE }

    public static void main(String [] args) {

        Date before = new Date();
        int c = 0;

        for(int y=0;y<5;++y) {
            for(int x=0;x<Integer.MAX_VALUE;++x) {
                if(TestEnum.ONE.equals(TestEnum.TWO)) {++c;}
                if(TestEnum.ONE == TestEnum.TWO){++c;}              
            }
        }

        System.out.println(new Date().getTime() - before.getTime());
    }   

}

Comment out the IFs one at a time. Here are the two compares from above in disassembled byte-code:

 21  getstatic EnumCompareSpeedTest$TestEnum.ONE : EnumCompareSpeedTest.TestEnum [19]
 24  getstatic EnumCompareSpeedTest$TestEnum.TWO : EnumCompareSpeedTest.TestEnum [25]
 27  invokevirtual EnumCompareSpeedTest$TestEnum.equals(java.lang.Object) : boolean [28]
 30  ifeq 36

 36  getstatic EnumCompareSpeedTest$TestEnum.ONE : EnumCompareSpeedTest.TestEnum [19]
 39  getstatic EnumCompareSpeedTest$TestEnum.TWO : EnumCompareSpeedTest.TestEnum [25]
 42  if_acmpne 48

The first (equals) performs a virtual call and tests the return boolean from the stack. The second (==) compares the object addresses directly from the stack. In the first case there is more activity.

I ran this test several times with both IFs one at a time. The "==" is ever so slightly faster.

SQL query to make all data in a column UPPER CASE?

If you want to only update on rows that are not currently uppercase (instead of all rows), you'd need to identify the difference using COLLATE like this:

UPDATE MyTable
SET    MyColumn = UPPER(MyColumn)
WHERE  MyColumn != UPPER(MyColumn) COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS

A Bit About Collation

Cases sensitivity is based on your collation settings, and is typically case insensitive by default.

Collation can be set at the Server, Database, Column, or Query Level:

-- Server
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('COLLATION')
-- Database
SELECT name, collation_name FROM sys.databases
-- Column 
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE CHARACTER_SET_NAME IS NOT NULL

Collation Names specify how a string should be encoded and read, for example:

Latin1_General_CI_AS ? Case Insensitive
Latin1_General_CS_AS ? Case Sensitive

How to define and use function inside Jenkins Pipeline config?

Solved! The call build job: project, parameters: params fails with an error java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: must specify $class with an implementation of interface java.util.List when params = [:]. Replacing it with params = null solved the issue. Here the working code below.

def doCopyMibArtefactsHere(projectName) {
    step ([
        $class: 'CopyArtifact',
        projectName: projectName,
        filter: '**/**.mib',
        fingerprintArtifacts: true, 
        flatten: true
    ]);
}

def BuildAndCopyMibsHere(projectName, params = null) {
    build job: project, parameters: params
    doCopyMibArtefactsHere(projectName)
}
node { 
    stage('Prepare Mib'){
        BuildAndCopyMibsHere('project1')
    }
}

Disable and later enable all table indexes in Oracle

Here's making the indexes unusable without the file:

DECLARE
  CURSOR  usr_idxs IS select * from user_indexes;
  cur_idx  usr_idxs% ROWTYPE;
  v_sql  VARCHAR2(1024);

BEGIN
  OPEN usr_idxs;
  LOOP
    FETCH usr_idxs INTO cur_idx;
    EXIT WHEN NOT usr_idxs%FOUND;

    v_sql:= 'ALTER INDEX ' || cur_idx.index_name || ' UNUSABLE';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql;
  END LOOP;
  CLOSE usr_idxs;
END;

The rebuild would be similiar.

How can I make a multipart/form-data POST request using Java?

My code for sending files to server using post in multipart. Make use of multivalue map while making request for sending form data

  LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
        map.add("FILE", new FileSystemResource(file));
        map.add("APPLICATION_ID", Number);

   httpService.post( map,headers);

At receiver end use

@RequestMapping(value = "fileUpload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ApiResponse AreaCsv(@RequestParam("FILE") MultipartFile file,@RequestHeader("clientId") ){
//code
}

Writing file to web server - ASP.NET

protected void TestSubmit_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  using (StreamWriter _testData = new StreamWriter(Server.MapPath("~/data.txt"), true))
 {
  _testData.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text); // Write the file.
 }         
}

Server.MapPath takes a virtual path and returns an absolute one. "~" is used to resolve to the application root.

How can I determine if a String is non-null and not only whitespace in Groovy?

You could add a method to String to make it more semantic:

String.metaClass.getNotBlank = { !delegate.allWhitespace }

which let's you do:

groovy:000> foo = ''
===> 
groovy:000> foo.notBlank
===> false
groovy:000> foo = 'foo'
===> foo
groovy:000> foo.notBlank
===> true

python list by value not by reference

I would recommend the following solution:

b = []
b[:] = a

This will copy all the elements from a to b. The copy will be value copy, not reference copy.

MySQL: @variable vs. variable. What's the difference?

@variable is very useful if calling stored procedures from an application written in Java , Python etc. There are ocassions where variable values are created in the first call and needed in functions of subsequent calls.

Side-note on PL/SQL (Oracle)

The advantage can be seen in Oracle PL/SQL where these variables have 3 different scopes:

Function variable for which the scope ends when function exits.
Package body variables defined at the top of package and outside all functions whose scope is the session and visibility is package.
Package variable whose variable is session and visibility is global.

My Experience in PL/SQL

I have developed an architecture in which the complete code is written in PL/SQL. These are called from a middle-ware written in Java. There are two types of middle-ware. One to cater calls from a client which is also written in Java. The other other one to cater for calls from a browser. The client facility is implemented 100 percent in JavaScript. A command set is used instead of HTML and JavaScript for writing application in PL/SQL.

I have been looking for the same facility to port the codes written in PL/SQL to another database. The nearest one I have found is Postgres. But all the variables have function scope.

Opinion towards `@` in MySQL

I am happy to see that at least this @ facility is there in MySQL. I don't think Oracle will build same facility available in PL/SQL to MySQL stored procedures since it may affect the sales of Oracle database.

Creating multiple objects with different names in a loop to store in an array list

You can use this code...

public class Main {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String[] names = {"First", "Second", "Third"};//You Can Add More Names
        double[] amount = {20.0, 30.0, 40.0};//You Can Add More Amount
        List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>();
        int i = 0;
        while (i < names.length) {
            customers.add(new Customer(names[i], amount[i]));
            i++;
        }
    }
}

How to make --no-ri --no-rdoc the default for gem install?

For Windows users, Ruby doesn't set up .gemrc file. So you have to create .gemrc file in your home directory (echo %USERPROFILE%) and put following line in it:

gem: --no-document

As already mentioned in previous answers, don't use --no-ri and --no-rdoc cause its deprecated. See it yourself:

gem help install

Can you split a stream into two streams?

Unfortunately, what you ask for is directly frowned upon in the JavaDoc of Stream:

A stream should be operated on (invoking an intermediate or terminal stream operation) only once. This rules out, for example, "forked" streams, where the same source feeds two or more pipelines, or multiple traversals of the same stream.

You can work around this using peek or other methods should you truly desire that type of behaviour. In this case, what you should do is instead of trying to back two streams from the same original Stream source with a forking filter, you would duplicate your stream and filter each of the duplicates appropriately.

However, you may wish to reconsider if a Stream is the appropriate structure for your use case.

NGINX to reverse proxy websockets AND enable SSL (wss://)?

Using nginx/1.14.0

i have a websocket-server running on port 8097 and users connect from to wss on port 8098, nginx just decrypts the content and forwards it to the websocket server

So i have this config file (in my case /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf)

server {
    listen   8098;
        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate      /etc/ssl/certs/domain.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key  /root/domain.key;
    location / {

        proxy_pass http://hostname:8097;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;

    }
}

Finding rows containing a value (or values) in any column

Here's a dplyr option:

library(dplyr)

# across all columns:
df %>% filter_all(any_vars(. %in% c('M017', 'M018')))

# or in only select columns:
df %>% filter_at(vars(col1, col2), any_vars(. %in% c('M017', 'M018')))

How to use JUnit to test asynchronous processes

Does VBA have Dictionary Structure?

An additional dictionary example that is useful for containing frequency of occurence.

Outside of loop:

Dim dict As New Scripting.dictionary
Dim MyVar as String

Within a loop:

'dictionary
If dict.Exists(MyVar) Then
    dict.Item(MyVar) = dict.Item(MyVar) + 1 'increment
Else
    dict.Item(MyVar) = 1 'set as 1st occurence
End If

To check on frequency:

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To dict.Count - 1 ' lower index 0 (instead of 1)
    Debug.Print dict.Items(i) & " " & dict.Keys(i)
Next i

get dictionary value by key

I use a similar method to dasblinkenlight's in a function to return a single key value from a Cookie containing a JSON array loaded into a Dictionary as follows:

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a single key Value from a Json filled cookie with 'cookiename','key' 
    /// </summary>
    public static string GetSpecialCookieKeyVal(string _CookieName, string _key)
    {
        //CALL COOKIE VALUES INTO DICTIONARY
        Dictionary<string, string> dictCookie =
        JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>
         (MyCookinator.Get(_CookieName));

        string value;
        if (dictCookie.TryGetValue( _key, out value))
        {
            return value;
        }
        else
        {
            return "0";
        }

    }

Where "MyCookinator.Get()" is another simple Cookie function getting an http cookie overall value.

Using custom fonts using CSS?

Today there are four font container formats in use on the web: EOT, TTF, WOFF,andWOFF2.

Unfortunately, despite the wide range of choices, there isn't a single universal format that works across all old and new browsers:

EOT is IE only,
TTF has partial IE support,
WOFF enjoys the widest support but is not available in some older browsers
WOFF 2.0 support is a work in progress for many browsers.

If you want your web app to have the same font across all browsers then you might want to provide all 4 font type in CSS

 @font-face {
      font-family: 'besom'; !important
      src: url('fonts/besom/besom.eot');
      src: url('fonts/besom/besom.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
           url('fonts/besom/besom.woff2') format('woff2'),
           url('fonts/besom/besom.woff') format('woff'),
           url('fonts/besom/besom.ttf') format('truetype'),
           url('fonts/besom/besom.svg#besom_2regular') format('svg');
      font-weight: normal;
      font-style: normal;
  }

Measuring elapsed time with the Time module

In programming, there are 2 main ways to measure time, with different results:

>>> print(time.process_time()); time.sleep(10); print(time.process_time())
0.11751394000000001
0.11764988400000001  # took  0 seconds and a bit
>>> print(time.perf_counter()); time.sleep(10); print(time.perf_counter())
3972.465770326
3982.468109075       # took 10 seconds and a bit

Processor Time: This is how long this specific process spends actively being executed on the CPU. Sleep, waiting for a web request, or time when only other processes are executed will not contribute to this.
- Use time.process_time()
Wall-Clock Time: This refers to how much time has passed "on a clock hanging on the wall", i.e. outside real time.
- Use time.perf_counter()
  - time.time() also measures wall-clock time but can be reset, so you could go back in time
  - time.monotonic() cannot be reset (monotonic = only goes forward) but has lower precision than time.perf_counter()

How to concatenate two numbers in javascript?

I converted back to number like this..

const timeNow = '' + 12 + 45;
const openTime = parseInt(timeNow, 10);

output 1245

-- edit --

sorry,

for my use this still did not work for me after testing . I had to add the missing zero back in as it was being removed on numbers smaller than 10, my use is for letting code run at certain times May not be correct but it seems to work (so far).

h = new Date().getHours();
m = new Date().getMinutes();
isOpen: boolean;

timeNow = (this.m < 10) ? '' + this.h + 0 + this.m : '' + this.h + this.m;

openTime = parseInt(this.timeNow);


closed() {

(this.openTime >= 1450 && this.openTime <= 1830) ? this.isOpen = true : 
this.isOpen = false;
(this.openTime >= 715 && this.openTime <= 915) ? this.isOpen = true : 
this.isOpen = false;

}

The vote down was nice thank you :)

I am new to this and come here to learn from you guys an explanation of why would of been nice.

Anyways updated my code to show how i fixed my problem as this post helped me figure it out.

Composer Update Laravel

When you run composer update, composer generates a file called composer.lock which lists all your packages and the currently installed versions. This allows you to later run composer install, which will install the packages listed in that file, recreating the environment that you were last using.

It appears from your log that some of the versions of packages that are listed in your composer.lock file are no longer available. Thus, when you run composer install, it complains and fails. This is usually no big deal - just run composer update and it will attempt to build a set of packages that work together and write a new composer.lock file.

However, you're running into a different problem. It appears that, in your composer.json file, the original developer has added some pre- or post- update actions that are failing, specifically a php artisan migrate command. This can be avoided by running the following: composer update --no-scripts

This will run the composer update but will skip over the scripts added to the file. You should be able to successfully run the update this way.

However, this does not solve the problem long-term. There are two problems:

A migration is for database changes, not random stuff like compiling assets. Go through the migrations and remove that code from there.
Assets should not be compiled each time you run composer update. Remove that step from the composer.json file.

From what I've read, best practice seems to be compiling assets on an as-needed basis during development (ie. when you're making changes to your LESS files - ideally using a tool like gulp.js) and before deployment.

Building a fat jar using maven

An alternative is to use the maven shade plugin to build an uber-jar.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
    <version> Your Version Here </version>
    <configuration>
            <!-- put your configurations here -->
    </configuration>
    <executions>
            <execution>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                            <goal>shade</goal>
                    </goals>
            </execution>
    </executions>

How to break out or exit a method in Java?

Use the return keyword to exit from a method.

public void someMethod() {
    //... a bunch of code ...
    if (someCondition()) {
        return;
    }
    //... otherwise do the following...
}

From the Java Tutorial that I linked to above:

Any method declared void doesn't return a value. It does not need to contain a return statement, but it may do so. In such a case, a return statement can be used to branch out of a control flow block and exit the method and is simply used like this:
return;

Confused about UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK

Why would UPDLOCK block selects? The Lock Compatibility Matrix clearly shows N for the S/U and U/S contention, as in No Conflict.

As for the HOLDLOCK hint the documentation states:

HOLDLOCK: Is equivalent to SERIALIZABLE. For more information, see SERIALIZABLE later in this topic.

...

SERIALIZABLE: ... The scan is performed with the same semantics as a transaction running at the SERIALIZABLE isolation level...

and the Transaction Isolation Level topic explains what SERIALIZABLE means:

No other transactions can modify data that has been read by the current transaction until the current transaction completes.

Other transactions cannot insert new rows with key values that would fall in the range of keys read by any statements in the current transaction until the current transaction completes.

Therefore the behavior you see is perfectly explained by the product documentation:

UPDLOCK does not block concurrent SELECT nor INSERT, but blocks any UPDATE or DELETE of the rows selected by T1
HOLDLOCK means SERALIZABLE and therefore allows SELECTS, but blocks UPDATE and DELETES of the rows selected by T1, as well as any INSERT in the range selected by T1 (which is the entire table, therefore any insert).
(UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK): your experiment does not show what would block in addition to the case above, namely another transaction with UPDLOCK in T2:
SELECT * FROM dbo.Test WITH (UPDLOCK) WHERE ...
TABLOCKX no need for explanations

The real question is what are you trying to achieve? Playing with lock hints w/o an absolute complete 110% understanding of the locking semantics is begging for trouble...

After OP edit:

I would like to select rows from a table and prevent the data in that table from being modified while I am processing it.

The you should use one of the higher transaction isolation levels. REPEATABLE READ will prevent the data you read from being modified. SERIALIZABLE will prevent the data you read from being modified and new data from being inserted. Using transaction isolation levels is the right approach, as opposed to using query hints. Kendra Little has a nice poster exlaining the isolation levels.

WPF ListView turn off selection

The easiest way I found:

<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false"/>

Display image at 50% of its "native" size

The following code works for me:

Setting a divs background image to fit its size?

Use background-size property to achieve that. You should choose between cover, contain and 100% - depending on what exactly you'd like to get.

How to change folder with git bash?

I wanted to add that if you are using a shared drive, enclose the path in double quotes and keep the backslashes. This is what worked for me:

$cd /path/to/"\\\share\users\username\My Documents\mydirectory\"

Run script with rc.local: script works, but not at boot

I am using CentOS 7.

$ cd  /etc/profile.d

$ vim yourstuffs.sh

Type the following into the yourstuffs.sh script.

type whatever you want here to execute

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Save and reboot the OS.

"NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class" error

You're missing the necessary class definition; typically caused by required JAR not being in classpath.

From J2SE API:

public class NoClassDefFoundError extends LinkageError

Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found.

The searched-for class definition existed when the currently executing class was compiled, but the definition can no longer be found.

Eclipse, regular expression search and replace

Yes, ( ) captures a group. You can use it again with $i where i is the i'th capture group.

So:

search: (\w+\.someMethod)

replace: ((TypeName)$1)

Hint: Ctrl + Space in the textboxes gives you all kinds of suggestions for regular expression writing.

How to determine the version of Gradle?

Check in the folder structure of the project the files within the /gradle/wrapper/ The gradle-wrapper.jar version should be the one specified in the gradle-wrapper.properties

List supported SSL/TLS versions for a specific OpenSSL build

It's clumsy, but you can get this from the usage messages for s_client or s_server, which are #ifed at compile time to match the supported protocol versions. Use something like

 openssl s_client -help 2>&1 | awk '/-ssl[0-9]|-tls[0-9]/{print $1}' 
 # in older releases any unknown -option will work; in 1.1.0 must be exactly -help

Operator overloading ==, !=, Equals

As Selman22 said, you are overriding the default object.Equals method, which accepts an object obj and not a safe compile time type.

In order for that to happen, make your type implement IEquatable<Box>:

public class Box : IEquatable<Box>
{
    double height, length, breadth;

    public static bool operator ==(Box obj1, Box obj2)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(obj1, obj2))
        {
            return true;
        }
        if (ReferenceEquals(obj1, null))
        {
            return false;
        }
        if (ReferenceEquals(obj2, null))
        {
            return false;
        }

        return obj1.Equals(obj2);
    }

    public static bool operator !=(Box obj1, Box obj2)
    {
        return !(obj1 == obj2);
    }

    public bool Equals(Box other)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(other, null))
        {
            return false;
        }
        if (ReferenceEquals(this, other))
        {
            return true;
        }

        return height.Equals(other.height) 
               && length.Equals(other.length) 
               && breadth.Equals(other.breadth);
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return Equals(obj as Box);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int hashCode = height.GetHashCode();
            hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ length.GetHashCode();
            hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ breadth.GetHashCode();
            return hashCode;
        }
    }
}

Another thing to note is that you are making a floating point comparison using the equality operator and you might experience a loss of precision.

    right:-10px;
    bottom:0;

    border-top: 10px solid transparent;

Centering floating divs within another div

First, remove the float attribute on the inner divs. Then, put text-align: center on the main outer div. And for the inner divs, use display: inline-block. Might also be wise to give them explicit widths too.

  <img title="Nadia Bjorlin" alt="Nadia Bjorlin" src="headshot.nadia.png"/>

std::unique_lock<std::mutex> or std::lock_guard<std::mutex>?

As has been mentioned by others, std::unique_lock tracks the locked status of the mutex, so you can defer locking until after construction of the lock, and unlock before destruction of the lock. std::lock_guard does not permit this.

There seems no reason why the std::condition_variable wait functions should not take a lock_guard as well as a unique_lock, because whenever a wait ends (for whatever reason) the mutex is automatically reacquired so that would not cause any semantic violation. However according to the standard, to use a std::lock_guard with a condition variable you have to use a std::condition_variable_any instead of std::condition_variable.

Edit: deleted "Using the pthreads interface std::condition_variable and std::condition_variable_any should be identical". On looking at gcc's implementation:

std::condition_variable::wait(std::unique_lock&) just calls pthread_cond_wait() on the underlying pthread condition variable with respect to the mutex held by unique_lock (and so could equally do the same for lock_guard, but doesn't because the standard doesn't provide for that)
std::condition_variable_any can work with any lockable object, including one which is not a mutex lock at all (it could therefore even work with an inter-process semaphore)

Upload files from Java client to a HTTP server

It could depend on your framework. (for each of them could exist an easier solution).

But to answer your question: there are a lot of external libraries for this functionality. Look here how to use apache commons fileupload.

replace NULL with Blank value or Zero in sql server

The coalesce() is the best solution when there are multiple columns [and]/[or] values and you want the first one. However, looking at books on-line, the query optimize converts it to a case statement.

MSDN excerpt

The COALESCE expression is a syntactic shortcut for the CASE expression.

That is, the code COALESCE(expression1,...n) is rewritten by the query optimizer as the following CASE expression:

CASE
   WHEN (expression1 IS NOT NULL) THEN expression1
   WHEN (expression2 IS NOT NULL) THEN expression2
   ...
   ELSE expressionN
END

With that said, why not a simple ISNULL()? Less code = better solution?

Here is a complete code snippet.

-- drop the test table
drop table #temp1
go

-- create test table
create table #temp1
(
    issue varchar(100) NOT NULL,
    total_amount int NULL
); 
go

-- create test data
insert into #temp1 values
    ('No nulls here', 12),
    ('I am a null', NULL);
go

-- isnull works fine
select
    isnull(total_amount, 0) as total_amount  
from #temp1

Last but not least, how are you getting null values into a NOT NULL column?

I had to change the table definition so that I could setup the test case. When I try to alter the table to NOT NULL, it fails since it does a nullability check.

-- this alter fails
alter table #temp1 alter column total_amount int NOT NULL

Identifying and removing null characters in UNIX

A large number of unwanted NUL characters, say one every other byte, indicates that the file is encoded in UTF-16 and that you should use iconv to convert it to UTF-8.

How to replace NaNs by preceding values in pandas DataFrame?

You could use the fillna method on the DataFrame and specify the method as ffill (forward fill):

>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2, 3], [4, None, None], [None, None, 9]])
>>> df.fillna(method='ffill')
   0  1  2
0  1  2  3
1  4  2  3
2  4  2  9

This method...

propagate[s] last valid observation forward to next valid

To go the opposite way, there's also a bfill method.

This method doesn't modify the DataFrame inplace - you'll need to rebind the returned DataFrame to a variable or else specify inplace=True:

df.fillna(method='ffill', inplace=True)

Writing to a file in a for loop

That is because you are opening , writing and closing the file 10 times inside your for loop

myfile = open('xyz.txt', 'w')
myfile.writelines(var1)
myfile.close()

You should open and close your file outside for loop.

myfile = open('xyz.txt', 'w')
for line in lines:
    var1, var2 = line.split(",");
    myfile.write("%s\n" % var1)

myfile.close()
text_file.close()

You should also notice to use write and not writelines.

writelines writes a list of lines to your file.

Also you should check out the answers posted by folks here that uses with statement. That is the elegant way to do file read/write operations in Python

Retrofit 2 - URL Query Parameter

 public interface IService { 

  String BASE_URL = "https://api.demo.com/";

  @GET("Login") //i.e https://api.demo.com/Search? 
  Call<Products> getUserDetails(@Query("email") String emailID, @Query("password") String password)

}

It will be called this way. Considering you did the rest of the code already.

Call<Results> call = service.getUserDetails("[email protected]", "Password@123");

For example when a query is returned, it will look like this.

https://api.demo.com/[email protected]&password=Password@123

SQL Server: Maximum character length of object names

Yes, it is 128, except for temp tables, whose names can only be up to 116 character long. It is perfectly explained here.

And the verification can be easily made with the following script contained in the blog post before:

DECLARE @i NVARCHAR(800)
SELECT @i = REPLICATE('A', 116)
SELECT @i = 'CREATE TABLE #'+@i+'(i int)'
PRINT @i

How to check if a file exists in a shell script

Internally, the rm command must test for file existence anyway,
so why add another test? Just issue

rm filename

and it will be gone after that, whether it was there or not.
Use rm -f is you don't want any messages about non-existent files.

If you need to take some action if the file does NOT exist, then you must test for that yourself. Based on your example code, this is not the case in this instance.

Difference between JSON.stringify and JSON.parse

JSON.stringify turns a JavaScript object into JSON text and stores that JSON text in a string, eg:

var my_object = { key_1: "some text", key_2: true, key_3: 5 };

var object_as_string = JSON.stringify(my_object);  
// "{"key_1":"some text","key_2":true,"key_3":5}"  

typeof(object_as_string);  
// "string"

JSON.parse turns a string of JSON text into a JavaScript object, eg:

var object_as_string_as_object = JSON.parse(object_as_string);  
// {key_1: "some text", key_2: true, key_3: 5} 

typeof(object_as_string_as_object);  
// "object"

CSV parsing in Java - working example..?

You also have the Apache Commons CSV library, maybe it does what you need. See the guide. Updated to Release 1.1 in 2014-11.

Also, for the foolproof edition, I think you'll need to code it yourself...through SimpleDateFormat you can choose your formats, and specify various types, if the Date isn't like any of your pre-thought types, it isn't a Date.

HTML5 Canvas: Zooming

IIRC Canvas is a raster style bitmap. it wont be zoomable because there's no stored information to zoom to.

Your best bet is to keep two copies in memory (zoomed and non) and swap them on mouse click.

Entity Framework 6 GUID as primary key: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'FileStore'; column does not allow nulls

You can set the default value of your Id in your db to newsequentialid() or newid(). Then the identity configuration of EF should work.

Reading file from Workspace in Jenkins with Groovy script

I realize this question was about creating a plugin, but since the new Jenkins 2 Pipeline builds use Groovy, I found myself here while trying to figure out how to read a file from a workspace in a Pipeline build. So maybe I can help someone like me out in the future.

Turns out it's very easy, there is a readfile step, and I should have rtfm:

How can I deserialize JSON to a simple Dictionary<string,string> in ASP.NET?

I hope this answer is not considered too off-topic, but I had a similar issue where I was looking for a tool to parse only parts of a nested JSON which is not that straightforward with the accepted solutions.

If you have a similar issue, it might be worth to check out JTokken as described in this original post or in my answer to a similar question.

jQuery: get the file name selected from <input type="file" />

<input onchange="readURL(this);"  type="file" name="userfile" />
<img src="" id="viewImage"/>
<script>
 function readURL(fileName) {
    if (fileName.files && fileName.files[0]) {
        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onload = function (e) {
            $('#viewImage')
                    .attr('src', e.target.result)
                    .width(150).height(200);
        };

        reader.readAsDataURL(fileName.files[0]);
    }
}
</script>

JavaScript: Check if mouse button down?

You need to handle the MouseDown and MouseUp and set some flag or something to track it "later down the road"... :(

Find multiple files and rename them in Linux

For renaming recursively I use the following commands:

find -iname \*.* | rename -v "s/ /-/g"

Bash integer comparison

The zeroth parameter of a shell command is the command itself (or sometimes the shell itself). You should be using $1.

(("$#" < 1)) && ( (("$1" != 1)) ||  (("$1" -ne 0q)) )

Your boolean logic is also a bit confused:

(( "$#" < 1 && # If the number of arguments is less than one…
  "$1" != 1 || "$1" -ne 0)) # …how can the first argument possibly be 1 or 0?

This is probably what you want:

(( "$#" )) && (( $1 == 1 || $1 == 0 )) # If true, there is at least one argument and its value is 0 or 1

$(document).ready(function(){ Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

$ is a function provided by the jQuery library, it won't be available unless you have loaded the jQuery library.

You need to add jQuery (typically with a <script> element which can point at a local copy of the library or one hosted on a CDN). Make sure you are using a current and supported version: Many answers on this question recommend using 1.x or 2.x versions of jQuery which are no longer supported and have known security issues.

<script src="/path/to/jquery.js"></script>

Make sure you load jQuery before you run any script which depends on it.

The jQuery homepage will have a link to download the current version of the library (at the time of writing it is 3.5.1 but that may change by the time you read this).

Further down the page you will find a section on using jQuery with a CDN which links to a number of places that will host the library for you.

(NB: Some other libraries provide a $ function, and browsers have native $ variables which are only available in the Developer Tools Console, but this question isn't about those).

What is Cache-Control: private?

The Expires entity-header field gives the date/time after which the response is considered stale.The Cache-control:maxage field gives the age value (in seconds) bigger than which response is consider stale.

Althought above header field give a mechanism to client to decide whether to send request to the server. In some condition, the client send a request to sever and the age value of response is bigger then the maxage value ,dose it means server needs to send the resource to client? Maybe the resource never changed.

In order to resolve this problem, HTTP1.1 gives last-modifided head. The server gives the last modified date of the response to client. When the client need this resource, it will send If-Modified-Since head field to server. If this date is before the modified date of the resouce, the server will sends the resource to client and gives 200 code.Otherwise,it will returns 304 code to client and this means client can use the resource it cached.

What is the functionality of setSoTimeout and how it works?

This example made everything clear for me:
As you can see setSoTimeout prevent the program to hang! It wait for SO_TIMEOUT time! if it does not get any signal it throw exception! It means that time expired!

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.SocketTimeoutException;

public class SocketTest extends Thread {
  private ServerSocket serverSocket;

  public SocketTest() throws IOException {
    serverSocket = new ServerSocket(8008);
    serverSocket.setSoTimeout(10000);
  }

  public void run() {
    while (true) {
      try {
        System.out.println("Waiting for client on port " + serverSocket.getLocalPort() + "...");
        Socket client = serverSocket.accept();

        System.out.println("Just connected to " + client.getRemoteSocketAddress());
        client.close();
      } catch (SocketTimeoutException s) {
        System.out.println("Socket timed out!");
        break;
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        break;
      }
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Thread t = new SocketTest();
      t.start();
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Docker can't connect to docker daemon

I got the same problem. In CentOS 6.5:

ps aux |grep `cat /var/run/docker.pid`

If it shows no Docker daemon process exists, then I type:

docker -d

Then Ctrl + D to stop Docker. Because we use the -d option, Docker will run as daemon. Now we can do:

service docker start

Then I can do a docker pull centos. That's all.

NOTE: If these do not work, you can try yum update, and then repeat these again, because I yum install before these.

How may I reference the script tag that loaded the currently-executing script?

Follow these simple steps to obtain reference to current executing script block:

Put some random unique string within the script block (must be unique / different in each script block)
Iterate result of document.getElementsByTagName('script'), looking the unique string from each of their content (obtained from innerText/textContent property).

Example (ABCDE345678 is the unique ID):

<script type="text/javascript">
var A=document.getElementsByTagName('script'),i=count(A),thi$;
for(;i;thi$=A[--i])
  if((thi$.innerText||thi$.textContent).indexOf('ABCDE345678'))break;
// Now thi$ is refer to current script block
</script>

btw, for your case, you can simply use old fashioned document.write() method to include another script. As you mentioned that DOM is not rendered yet, you can take advantage from the fact that browser always execute script in linear sequence (except for deferred one that will be rendered later), so the rest of your document is still "not exists". Anything you write through document.write() will be placed right after the caller script.

Example of original HTML page:

<!doctype html>
<html><head>
<script src="script.js"></script>
<script src="otherscript.js"></script>
<body>anything</body></html>

Content of script.js:

document.write('<script src="inserted.js"></script>');

After rendered, the DOM structure will become:

HEAD
  SCRIPT script.js
  SCRIPT inserted.js
  SCRIPT otherscript.js
BODY

Auto reloading python Flask app upon code changes

If you're running using uwsgi look at the python auto reload option:

uwsgi --py-autoreload 1

Example uwsgi-dev-example.ini:

[uwsgi]
socket = 127.0.0.1:5000
master = true
virtualenv = /Users/xxxx/.virtualenvs/sites_env
chdir = /Users/xxx/site_root
module = site_module:register_debug_server()
callable = app
uid = myuser
chmod-socket = 660
log-date = true
workers = 1
py-autoreload = 1

site_root/__init__.py

def register_debug_server():
    from werkzeug.debug import DebuggedApplication

    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.debug = True
    app = DebuggedApplication(app, evalex=True)
    return app

Then run:

uwsgi --ini uwsgi-dev-example.ini

Note: This example also enables the debugger.

I went this route to mimic production as close as possible with my nginx setup. Simply running the flask app with it's built in web server behind nginx it would result in a bad gateway error.

Get user input from textarea

Just in case, instead of [(ngModel)] you can use (input) (is fired when a user writes something in the input <textarea>) or (blur) (is fired when a user leaves the input <textarea>) event,

<textarea cols="30" rows="4" (input)="str = $event.target.value"></textarea>

Weird behavior of the != XPath operator

I've always used this syntax, which yields more predictable results than using !=.

<xsl:when test="not($AccountNumber = '12345') and not($Balance = '0')" />

GSON - Date format

As M.L. pointed out, JsonSerializer works here. However, if you are formatting database entities, use java.sql.Date to register you serializer. Deserializer is not needed.

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
   .registerTypeAdapter(java.sql.Date.class, ser).create();

This bug report might be related: http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/issues/detail?id=230. I use version 1.7.2 though.

What is the difference between a Docker image and a container?

I think it is better to explain at the beginning.

Suppose you run the command docker run hello-world. What happens?

It calls Docker CLI which is responsible to take Docker commands and transform to call Docker server commands. As soon as Docker server gets a command to run an image, it checks weather the images cache holds an image with such a name.

Suppose hello-world do not exists. Docker server goes to Docker Hub (Docker Hub is just a free repository of images) and asks, hey Hub, do you have an image called hello-world? Hub responses - yes, I do. Then give it to me, please. And the download process starts. As soon as the Docker image is downloaded, the Docker server puts it in the image cache.

So before we explain what Docker images and Docker containers are, let's start with an introduction about the operation system on your computer and how it runs software.

When you run, for example, Chrome on your computer, it calls the operating system, the operating system itself calls the kernel and asks, hey I want to run this program. The kernel manages to run files from your hard disk.

Now imagine that you have two programs, Chrome and Node.js. Chrome requires Python version 2 to run and Node.js requires Python version 3 to run. If you only have installed Python v2 on your computer, only Chrome will be run.

To make both cases work, somehow you need to use an operating system feature known as namespacing. A namespace is a feature which gives you the opportunity to isolate processes, hard drive, network, users, hostnames and so on.

So, when we talk about an image we actually talk about a file system snapshot. An image is a physical file which contains directions and metadata to build a specific container. The container itself is an instance of an image; it isolates the hard drive using namespacing which is available only for this container. So a container is a process or set of processes which groups different resources assigned to it.

How to have multiple colors in a Windows batch file?

Windows 10 ((Version 1511, build 10586, release 2015-11-10)) supports ANSI colors.
You can use the escape key to trigger the color codes.

In the Command Prompt:

echo ^[[32m HI ^[[0m

echo Ctrl+[[32m HI Ctrl+[[0mEnter

When using a text editor, you can use ALT key codes.
The ESC key code can be created using ALT and NUMPAD numbers : Alt+027

[32m  HI  [0m

Docker-Compose can't connect to Docker Daemon

Is there slight possibility you deleted default machine? But, first check if all files are there (OSX, similar on other systems)

brew install docker docker-compose docker-machine xhyve docker-machine-driver-xhyve
brew link docker docker-compose docker-machine xhyve docker-machine-driver-xhyve

sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve

Also, install Docker App, as it much easier to maintain containers:

brew cask reinstall docker

ans start Docker app from finder (wait until service is fully started)

Then, check instalation with:

docker-machine ls

if no machines are present in list, create one and start it:

docker-machine create default
docker-machine start default

After this, build, compose and all other commands should work properly.

How to initialize an array in Java?

data[10] = {10,20,30,40,50,60,71,80,90,91};

The above is not correct (syntax error). It means you are assigning an array to data[10] which can hold just an element.

If you want to initialize an array, try using Array Initializer:

int[] data = {10,20,30,40,50,60,71,80,90,91};

// or

int[] data;
data = new int[] {10,20,30,40,50,60,71,80,90,91};

Notice the difference between the two declarations. When assigning a new array to a declared variable, new must be used.

Even if you correct the syntax, accessing data[10] is still incorrect (You can only access data[0] to data[9] because index of arrays in Java is 0-based). Accessing data[10] will throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

How do I iterate through table rows and cells in JavaScript?

This solution worked perfectly for me

var table = document.getElementById("myTable").rows;
var y;
for(i = 0; i < # of rows; i++)
{    for(j = 0; j < # of columns; j++)
     {
         y = table[i].cells;
         //do something with cells in a row
         y[j].innerHTML = "";
     }
}

jQuery - prevent default, then continue default

When you bind the .submit() event to the form, and you do the things you want to do before returning (true), these things happen prior to the actual submission.

For example:

$('form').submit(function(){
    alert('I do something before the actual submission');
    return true;
});

Simple example

Another example on jquery.com: http://api.jquery.com/submit/#entry-examples

android: how to align image in the horizontal center of an imageview?

Give width of image as match_parent and height as required, say 300 dp.

<ImageView
    android:id = "@+id/imgXYZ"
    android:layout_width = "match_parent"
    android:layout_height = "300dp"
    android:src="@drawable/imageXYZ"

Python Dictionary Comprehension

>>> {i:i for i in range(1, 11)}
{1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9, 10: 10}

Why can't non-default arguments follow default arguments?

Required arguments (the ones without defaults), must be at the start to allow client code to only supply two. If the optional arguments were at the start, it would be confusing:

fun1("who is who", 3, "jack")

What would that do in your first example? In the last, x is "who is who", y is 3 and a = "jack".

How do I count unique visitors to my site?

I have edited the "Best answer" code, though I found a useful thing that was missing. This is will also track the ip of a user if they are using a Proxy or simply if the server has nginx installed as a proxy reverser.

I added this code to his script at the top of the function:

function getRealIpAddr()
{
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    }
    elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from proxy
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    }
    else
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }
    return $ip;
}
$adresseip = getRealIpAddr();

Afther that I edited his code.

Find the line that says the following:

// get the user name if it is logged, or the visitors IP (and add the identifier)

    $uvon = isset($_SESSION['nume']) ? $_SESSION['nume'] : $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']. $vst_id;

and replace it with this:

$uvon = isset($_SESSION['nume']) ? $_SESSION['nume'] : $adresseip. $vst_id;

This will work.

Here is the full code if anything happens:

<?php

function getRealIpAddr()
{
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    }
    elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from proxy
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    }
    else
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }
    return $ip;
}
$adresseip = getRealIpAddr();

Why boolean in Java takes only true or false? Why not 1 or 0 also?

Because the people who created Java wanted boolean to mean unambiguously true or false, not 1 or 0.

There's no consensus among languages about how 1 and 0 convert to booleans. C uses any nonzero value to mean true and 0 to mean false, but some UNIX shells do the opposite. Using ints weakens type-checking, because the compiler can't guard against cases where the int value passed in isn't something that should be used in a boolean context.

         @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            // Inflate the layout for this fragment
            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
            mView = view;
        }

Logic for taking screenshot:

 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
     View view =  mView.findViewById(R.id.scrollView1);
      shareScreenShotM(view, (NestedScrollView) view); 
 }

method shareScreenShotM)():

public void shareScreenShotM(View view, NestedScrollView scrollView){

     bm = takeScreenShot(view,scrollView);  //method to take screenshot
    File file = savePic(bm);  // method to save screenshot in phone.
    }

method takeScreenShot():

         public Bitmap takeScreenShot(View u, NestedScrollView z){

            u.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
            int totalHeight = z.getChildAt(0).getHeight();
            int totalWidth = z.getChildAt(0).getWidth();

            Log.d("yoheight",""+ totalHeight);
            Log.d("yowidth",""+ totalWidth);
            u.layout(0, 0, totalWidth, totalHeight);
            u.buildDrawingCache();
            Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(u.getDrawingCache());
            u.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
            u.destroyDrawingCache();
             return b;
        }

method savePic():

 public static File savePic(Bitmap bm){

        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
         File sdCardDirectory =  new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Foldername");

       if (!sdCardDirectory.exists()) {
            sdCardDirectory.mkdirs();
      }
       //  File file = new File(dir, fileName);
      try {
         file = new File(sdCardDirectory, Calendar.getInstance()
            .getTimeInMillis() + ".jpg");
        file.createNewFile();
        new FileOutputStream(file).write(bytes.toByteArray());
        Log.d("Fabsolute", "File Saved::--->" + file.getAbsolutePath());
         Log.d("Sabsolute", "File Saved::--->" + sdCardDirectory.getAbsolutePath());
     } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }
     return file;
   }

For activity you can simply use View v1 = getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView(); instead of mView

Bootstrap how to get text to vertical align in a div container

HTML:

First, we will need to add a class to your text container so that we can access and style it accordingly.

<div class="col-xs-5 textContainer">
     <h3 class="text-left">Link up with other gamers all over the world who share the same tastes in games.</h3>
</div>

CSS:

Next, we will apply the following styles to align it vertically, according to the size of the image div next to it.

.textContainer { 
    height: 345px; 
    line-height: 340px;
}

.textContainer h3 {
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: inline-block;
}

All Done! Adjust the line-height and height on the styles above if you believe that it is still slightly out of align.

android set button background programmatically

Further from @finnmglas, the Java answer as of 2021 is:

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 29)
        btn.getBackground().setColorFilter(new BlendModeColorFilter(color, BlendMode.MULTIPLY));
    else
        btn.getBackground().setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

Regular expression: zero or more occurrences of optional character /

/*

If your delimiters are slash-based, escape it:

\/*

* means "0 or more of the previous repeatable pattern", which can be a single character, a character class or a group.

How do I check out an SVN project into Eclipse as a Java project?

Here are the steps:

Install the subclipse plugin (provides svn connectivity in eclipse) and connect to the repository. Instructions here: http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html
Go to File->New->Other->Under the SVN category, select Checkout Projects from SVN.
Select your project's root folder and select checkout as a project in the workspace.

It seems you are checking the .project file into the source repository. I would suggest not checking in the .project file so users can have their own version of the file. Also, if you use the subclipse plugin it allows you to check out and configure a source folder as a java project. This process creates the correct .project for you(with the java nature),

Git: How to squash all commits on branch

If you use JetBrains based IDE like IntelliJ Idea and prefare using GUI over command line:

Go to Version control window (Alt + 9/Command + 9) - "Log" tab.
Choose a point in the tree from which you created your branch
Right click on it -> Reset current branch to here -> Pick Soft (!!!) (it's important for not to lose your changes)
Push the Reset button in the bottom of the dialog window.

That's it. You uncommited all your changes. Now if you'll make a new commit it will be squashed

Unable to generate an explicit migration in entity framework

Historically I always solved this by deleting the pending migrations, or if there was only 1 remaining and it was mostly desirable, by using -f to recreate it.

Recently, this has stopped working for me.

When this happened the first time, I restarted Visual Studio, and then it let me proceed.

The second time, it only worked after I ran a Clean on the project. It was almost as if the pending migrations were retained despite deleting all the files from explorer.

      child: IconButton(
        icon: isPlaying
            ? Icon(
                Icons.pause_circle_outline,
              )
            : Icon(
                Icons.play_circle_outline,
              ),
              iconSize: 40,
              
        onPressed: () {
          setState(() {

vertical-align with Bootstrap 3

This is my solution. Just add this class to your CSS content.

.align-middle {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

Then your HTML would look like this:

<div class="col-xs-12 align-middle">
  <div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:blue;">
    <h3>Item</h3>
    <h3>Item</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:red;">
    <h3>Item</h3>
  </div>
</div>

Build Maven Project Without Running Unit Tests

I like short version: mvn clean install -DskipTests

It's work too: mvn clean install -DskipTests=true

If you absolutely must, you can also use the maven.test.skip property to skip compiling the tests. maven.test.skip is honored by Surefire, Failsafe and the Compiler Plugin. mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

and you can add config in maven.xml

<project>
      [...]
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.16</version>
            <configuration>
              <skipTests>true</skipTests>
            </configuration>

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare <function>"

This errors says your function is already defined ; which can mean :

you have the same function defined in two files
or you have the same function defined in two places in the same file
or the file in which your function is defined is included two times (so, it seems the function is defined two times)

I think your facing problem at 3rd position the script including this file more than one time.So, you can solve it by using require_once instead of require or include_once instead of include for including your functions.php file -- so it cannot be included more than once.

get current date and time in groovy?

Date has the time part, so we only need to extract it from Date

I personally prefer the default format parameter of the Date when date and time needs to be separated instead of using the extra SimpleDateFormat

Date date = new Date()
String datePart = date.format("dd/MM/yyyy")
String timePart = date.format("HH:mm:ss")

println "datePart : " + datePart + "\ttimePart : " + timePart

// console.log("msg") ==> prints msg
// etc

How to Load an Assembly to AppDomain with all references recursively?

I have had to do this several times and have researched many different solutions.

The solution I find in most elegant and easy to accomplish can be implemented as such.

1. Create a project that you can create a simple interface

the interface will contain signatures of any members you wish to call.

public interface IExampleProxy
{
    string HelloWorld( string name );
}

Its important to keep this project clean and lite. It is a project that both AppDomain's can reference and will allow us to not reference the Assembly we wish to load in seprate domain from our client assembly.

2. Now create project that has the code you want to load in seperate `AppDomain`.

This project as with the client proj will reference the proxy proj and you will implement the interface.

public interface Example : MarshalByRefObject, IExampleProxy
{
    public string HelloWorld( string name )
    {
        return $"Hello '{ name }'";
    }
}

3. Next, in the client project, load code in another `AppDomain`.

So, now we create a new AppDomain. Can specify the base location for assembly references. Probing will check for dependent assemblies in GAC and in current directory and the AppDomain base loc.

// set up domain and create
AppDomainSetup domaininfo = new AppDomainSetup
{
    ApplicationBase = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory
};

Evidence adevidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence;

AppDomain exampleDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Example", adevidence, domaininfo);

// assembly ant data names
var assemblyName = "<AssemblyName>, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null|<keyIfSigned>";
var exampleTypeName = "Example";

// Optional - get a reflection only assembly type reference
var @type = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad( assemblyName ).GetType( exampleTypeName ); 

// create a instance of the `Example` and assign to proxy type variable
IExampleProxy proxy= ( IExampleProxy )exampleDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap( assemblyName, exampleTypeName );

// Optional - if you got a type ref
IExampleProxy proxy= ( IExampleProxy )exampleDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap( @type.Assembly.Name, @type.Name );    

// call any members you wish
var stringFromOtherAd = proxy.HelloWorld( "Tommy" );

// unload the `AppDomain`
AppDomain.Unload( exampleDomain );

if you need to, there are a ton of different ways to load an assembly. You can use a different way with this solution. If you have the assembly qualified name then I like to use the CreateInstanceAndUnwrap since it loads the assembly bytes and then instantiates your type for you and returns an object that you can simple cast to your proxy type or if you not that into strongly-typed code you could use the dynamic language runtime and assign the returned object to a dynamic typed variable then just call members on that directly.

There you have it.

This allows to load an assembly that your client proj doesnt have reference to in a seperate AppDomain and call members on it from client.

To test, I like to use the Modules window in Visual Studio. It will show you your client assembly domain and what all modules are loaded in that domain as well your new app domain and what assemblies or modules are loaded in that domain.

The key is to either make sure you code either derives MarshalByRefObject or is serializable.

`MarshalByRefObject will allow you to configure the lifetime of the domain its in. Example, say you want the domain to destroy if the proxy hasnt been called in 20 minutes.

I hope this helps.

Is it possible to change the content HTML5 alert messages?

Yes:

<input required title="Enter something OR ELSE." />

The title attribute will be used to notify the user of a problem.

Why does the Google Play store say my Android app is incompatible with my own device?

Though there are already quite a few answers, I thought my answer might help some who have exactly the same problem as mine. In my case, the problem is caused by the following permissions added per the suggestion of an ad network:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

The consequence of the above permissions is that the following features are added automatically:

android.hardware.LOCATION
android.hardware.location.GPS
android.hardware.location.NETWORK

The reason is that "Google Play attempts to discover an application's implied feature requirements by examining other elements declared in the manifest file, specifically, elements." Two of my testing devices do not have the above features, so the app became incompatible with them. Removing those permissions solved the problem immediately.

res.sendFile absolute path

The express.static middleware is separate from res.sendFile, so initializing it with an absolute path to your public directory won't do anything to res.sendFile. You need to use an absolute path directly with res.sendFile. There are two simple ways to do it:

res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '../public', 'index1.html'));
res.sendFile('index1.html', { root: path.join(__dirname, '../public') });

Note: __dirname returns the directory that the currently executing script is in. In your case, it looks like server.js is in app/. So, to get to public, you'll need back out one level first: ../public/index1.html.

Note: path is a built-in module that needs to be required for the above code to work: var path = require('path');

How can I simulate mobile devices and debug in Firefox Browser?

I would use the "Responsive Design View" available under Tools -> Web Developer -> Responsive Design View. It will let you test your CSS against different screen sizes.

If statements for Checkboxes

I simplification for Science_Fiction's answer I think is to use the exclusive or function so you can just have:

if(checkbox1.checked ^ checkbox2.checked)
{
//do stuff
}

That is assuming you want to do the same thing for both situations.

How to uninstall a Windows Service when there is no executable for it left on the system?

You should be able to uninstall it using sc.exe (I think it is included in the Windows Resource Kit) by running the following in an "administrator" command prompt:

sc.exe delete <service name>

where <service name> is the name of the service itself as you see it in the service management console, not of the exe.

You can find sc.exe in the System folder and it needs Administrative privileges to run. More information in this Microsoft KB article.

Alternatively, you can directly call the DeleteService() api. That way is a little more complex, since you need to get a handle to the service control manager via OpenSCManager() and so on, but on the other hand it gives you more control over what is happening.

Passing an array as a function parameter in JavaScript

As @KaptajnKold had answered

var x = [ 'p0', 'p1', 'p2' ];
call_me.apply(this, x);

And you don't need to define every parameters for call_me function either. You can just use arguments

function call_me () {
    // arguments is a array consisting of params.
    // arguments[0] == 'p0',
    // arguments[1] == 'p1',
    // arguments[2] == 'p2'
}

How to check empty object in angular 2 template using *ngIf

This should do what you want:

<div class="comeBack_up" *ngIf="(previous_info | json) != ({} | json)">

or shorter

<div class="comeBack_up" *ngIf="(previous_info | json) != '{}'">

Each {} creates a new instance and ==== comparison of different objects instances always results in false. When they are convert to strings === results to true

C++ undefined reference to defined function

Though previous posters covered your particular error, you can get 'Undefined reference' linker errors when attempting to compile C code with g++, if you don't tell the compiler to use C linkage.

For example you should do this in your C header files:

extern "C" {

...

void myfunc(int param);

...

}

To make 'myfunc' available in C++ programs.

If you still also want to use this from C, wrap the extern "C" { and } in #ifdef __cplusplus preprocessor conditionals, like

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

This way, the extern block will just be “skipped” when using a C compiler.

jQuery .each() with input elements

Assume if all the input elements are inside a form u can refer the below code.

    // get an associative array of just the values.
    var values = {};
    $inputs.each(function() {
        values[this.name] = $(this).val();

IIS7 - The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length

The following example Web.config file will configure IIS to deny access for HTTP requests where the length of the "Content-type" header is greater than 100 bytes.

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

Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode

This means that you must declare strict mode by writing "use strict" at the beginning of the file or the function to use block-scope declarations.

EX:

function test(){
    "use strict";
    let a = 1;
}

How to put a delay on AngularJS instant search?

I solved this problem with a directive that basicly what it does is to bind the real ng-model on a special attribute which I watch in the directive, then using a debounce service I update my directive attribute, so the user watch on the variable that he bind to debounce-model instead of ng-model.

.directive('debounceDelay', function ($compile, $debounce) {
return {
  replace: false,
  scope: {
    debounceModel: '='
  },
  link: function (scope, element, attr) {
    var delay= attr.debounceDelay;
    var applyFunc = function () {
      scope.debounceModel = scope.model;
    }
    scope.model = scope.debounceModel;
    scope.$watch('model', function(){
      $debounce(applyFunc, delay);
    });
    attr.$set('ngModel', 'model');
    element.removeAttr('debounce-delay'); // so the next $compile won't run it again!

   $compile(element)(scope);
  }
};
});

Usage:

<input type="text" debounce-delay="1000" debounce-model="search"></input>

And in the controller :

    $scope.search = "";
    $scope.$watch('search', function (newVal, oldVal) {
      if(newVal === oldVal){
        return;
      }else{ //do something meaningful }

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http.Formatting' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the path specified

For those that use .NET Standard project in combination with .NET Framework projects:

In the .NET Standard way, packages that are included in a .NET Standard project will correctly be used across other .NET Core and .NET Standard projects.

Im the .NET Framework way, if you are referring to a .NET Standard project from an .NET Framework (MVC) project, you need to manually download and install the same nuget packages.

So the answer to my question was that I had to download and install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client in the web project (.NET Framework) that is using a .NET Standard project where Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client is needed. In fact, I already had this installed but there was a version difference.

I just add this answer for others to see, it might not directly answer OP's question but it did save me time by first checking this instead of doing the top-voted answers.

Adding null values to arraylist

Yes, you can always use null instead of an object. Just be careful because some methods might throw error.

It would be 1.

also nulls would be factored in in the for loop, but you could use

 for(Item i : itemList) {
        if (i!= null) {
               //code here
        }
 }

Counting no of rows returned by a select query

SQL Server requires subqueries that you SELECT FROM or JOIN to have an alias.

Add an alias to your subquery (in this case x):

select COUNT(*) from
(
select m.Company_id
from Monitor as m
    inner join Monitor_Request as mr on mr.Company_ID=m.Company_id
    group by m.Company_id
    having COUNT(m.Monitor_id)>=5)  x

Select distinct using linq

myList.GroupBy(test => test.id)
      .Select(grp => grp.First());

Edit: as getting this IEnumerable<> into a List<> seems to be a mystery to many people, you can simply write:

var result = myList.GroupBy(test => test.id)
                   .Select(grp => grp.First())
                   .ToList();

But one is often better off working with the IEnumerable rather than IList as the Linq above is lazily evaluated: it doesn't actually do all of the work until the enumerable is iterated. When you call ToList it actually walks the entire enumerable forcing all of the work to be done up front. (And may take a little while if your enumerable is infinitely long.)

The flipside to this advice is that each time you enumerate such an IEnumerable the work to evaluate it has to be done afresh. So you need to decide for each case whether it is better to work with the lazily evaluated IEnumerable or to realize it into a List, Set, Dictionary or whatnot.

What is the difference between document.location.href and document.location?

typeof document.location; // 'object'

The href property is a string, while document.location itself is an object.

Javac is not found

As far as I can see you have the JRE in your PATH, but not the JDK.

From a command prompt try this:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin

Then try javac again - if this works you'll need to permanently modify your environment variables to have PATH include the JDK too.

Concatenating Matrices in R

cbindX from the package gdata combines multiple columns of differing column and row lengths. Check out the page here:

http://hosho.ees.hokudai.ac.jp/~kubo/Rdoc/library/gdata/html/cbindX.html

It takes multiple comma separated matrices and data.frames as input :) You just need to

install.packages("gdata", dependencies=TRUE)

and then

library(gdata)
concat_data <- cbindX(df1, df2, df3) # or cbindX(matrix1, matrix2, matrix3, matrix4)

How to set 777 permission on a particular folder?

Right click the folder, click on Properties.
Click on the Security tab
Add the name Everyone to the user list.

I keep getting this error for my simple python program: "TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer"

In:

for i in range(c/10):

You're creating a float as a result - to fix this use the int division operator:

for i in range(c // 10):

CSS override rules and specificity

To give the second rule higher specificity you can always use parts of the first rule. In this case I would add table.rule1 trfrom rule one and add it to rule two.

table.rule1 tr td {
    background-color: #ff0000;
}

table.rule1 tr td.rule2 {
    background-color: #ffff00;
}

After a while I find this gets natural, but I know some people disagree. For those people I would suggest looking into LESS or SASS.

Batch file for PuTTY/PSFTP file transfer automation

You need to store the psftp script (lines from open to bye) into a separate file and pass that to psftp using -b switch:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY"
psftp -b "C:\path\to\script\script.txt"

Reference:
https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter6.html#psftp-option-b

EDIT: For username+password: As you cannot use psftp commands in a batch file, for the same reason, you cannot specify the username and the password as psftp commands. These are inputs to the open command. While you can specify the username with the open command (open <user>@<IP>), you cannot specify the password this way. This can be done on a psftp command line only. Then it's probably cleaner to do all on the command-line:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY"
psftp -b script.txt <user>@<IP> -pw <PW>

And remove the open, <user> and <PW> lines from your script.txt.

Reference:
https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter6.html#psftp-starting
https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter3.html#using-cmdline-pw

What you are doing atm is that you run psftp without any parameter or commands. Once you exit it (like by typing bye), your batch file continues trying to run open command (and others), what Windows shell obviously does not understand.

If you really want to keep everything in one file (the batch file), you can write commands to psftp standard input, like:

(
    echo cd ...
    echo lcd ...
    echo put log.sh
) | psftp -b script.txt <user>@<IP> -pw <PW>

MySQL match() against() - order by relevance and column?

This might give the increased relevance to the head part that you want. It won't double it, but it might possibly good enough for your sake:

SELECT pages.*,
       MATCH (head, body) AGAINST ('some words') AS relevance,
       MATCH (head) AGAINST ('some words') AS title_relevance
FROM pages
WHERE MATCH (head, body) AGAINST ('some words')
ORDER BY title_relevance DESC, relevance DESC

-- alternatively:
ORDER BY title_relevance + relevance DESC

An alternative that you also want to investigate, if you've the flexibility to switch DB engine, is Postgres. It allows to set the weight of operators and to play around with the ranking.

Carry Flag, Auxiliary Flag and Overflow Flag in Assembly

Carry Flag

The rules for turning on the carry flag in binary/integer math are two:

The carry flag is set if the addition of two numbers causes a carry out of the most significant (leftmost) bits added. 1111 + 0001 = 0000 (carry flag is turned on)
The carry (borrow) flag is also set if the subtraction of two numbers requires a borrow into the most significant (leftmost) bits subtracted. 0000 - 0001 = 1111 (carry flag is turned on) Otherwise, the carry flag is turned off (zero).
- 0111 + 0001 = 1000 (carry flag is turned off [zero])
- 1000 - 0001 = 0111 (carry flag is turned off [zero])

In unsigned arithmetic, watch the carry flag to detect errors.

In signed arithmetic, the carry flag tells you nothing interesting.

Overflow Flag

The rules for turning on the overflow flag in binary/integer math are two:

If the sum of two numbers with the sign bits off yields a result number with the sign bit on, the "overflow" flag is turned on. 0100 + 0100 = 1000 (overflow flag is turned on)
If the sum of two numbers with the sign bits on yields a result number with the sign bit off, the "overflow" flag is turned on. 1000 + 1000 = 0000 (overflow flag is turned on)

Otherwise the "overflow" flag is turned off

0100 + 0001 = 0101 (overflow flag is turned off)
0110 + 1001 = 1111 (overflow flag turned off)
1000 + 0001 = 1001 (overflow flag turned off)
1100 + 1100 = 1000 (overflow flag is turned off)

Note that you only need to look at the sign bits (leftmost) of the three numbers to decide if the overflow flag is turned on or off.

If you are doing two's complement (signed) arithmetic, overflow flag on means the answer is wrong - you added two positive numbers and got a negative, or you added two negative numbers and got a positive.

If you are doing unsigned arithmetic, the overflow flag means nothing and should be ignored.

For more clarification please refer: http://teaching.idallen.com/dat2343/10f/notes/040_overflow.txt

OpenCV get pixel channel value from Mat image

The below code works for me, for both accessing and changing a pixel value.

For accessing pixel's channel value :

for (int i = 0; i < image.cols; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < image.rows; j++) {
        Vec3b intensity = image.at<Vec3b>(j, i);
        for(int k = 0; k < image.channels(); k++) {
            uchar col = intensity.val[k]; 
        }   
    }
}

For changing a pixel value of a channel :

uchar pixValue;
for (int i = 0; i < image.cols; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < image.rows; j++) {
        Vec3b &intensity = image.at<Vec3b>(j, i);
        for(int k = 0; k < image.channels(); k++) {
            // calculate pixValue
            intensity.val[k] = pixValue;
        }
     }
}

Which characters need to be escaped in HTML?

If you're inserting text content in your document in a location where text content is expected¹, you typically only need to escape the same characters as you would in XML. Inside of an element, this just includes the entity escape ampersand & and the element delimiter less-than and greater-than signs < >:

& becomes &amp;
< becomes &lt;
> becomes &gt;

Inside of attribute values you must also escape the quote character you're using:

" becomes &quot;
' becomes &#39;

In some cases it may be safe to skip escaping some of these characters, but I encourage you to escape all five in all cases to reduce the chance of making a mistake.

If your document encoding does not support all of the characters that you're using, such as if you're trying to use emoji in an ASCII-encoded document, you also need to escape those. Most documents these days are encoded using the fully Unicode-supporting UTF-8 encoding where this won't be necessary.

In general, you should not escape spaces as  .   is not a normal space, it's a non-breaking space. You can use these instead of normal spaces to prevent a line break from being inserted between two words, or to insert extra space without it being automatically collapsed, but this is usually a rare case. Don't do this unless you have a design constraint that requires it.

¹ By "a location where text content is expected", I mean inside of an element or quoted attribute value where normal parsing rules apply. For example: <p>HERE</p> or <p title="HERE">...</p>. What I wrote above does not apply to content that has special parsing rules or meaning, such as inside of a script or style tag, or as an element or attribute name. For example: <NOT-HERE>...</NOT-HERE>, <script>NOT-HERE</script>, <style>NOT-HERE</style>, or <p NOT-HERE="...">...</p>.

In these contexts, the rules are more complicated and it's much easier to introduce a security vulnerability. I strongly discourage you from ever inserting dynamic content in any of these locations. I have seen teams of competent security-aware developers introduce vulnerabilities by assuming that they had encoded these values correctly, but missing an edge case. There's usually a safer alternative, such as putting the dynamic value in an attribute and then handling it with JavaScript.

If you must, please read the Open Web Application Security Project's XSS Prevention Rules to help understand some of the concerns you will need to keep in mind.

How to decorate a class?

I would second the notion that you may wish to consider a subclass instead of the approach you've outlined. However, not knowing your specific scenario, YMMV :-)

What you're thinking of is a metaclass. The __new__ function in a metaclass is passed the full proposed definition of the class, which it can then rewrite before the class is created. You can, at that time, sub out the constructor for a new one.

Example:

def substitute_init(self, id, *args, **kwargs):
    pass

class FooMeta(type):

    def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
        attrs['__init__'] = substitute_init
        return super(FooMeta, cls).__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)

class Foo(object):

    __metaclass__ = FooMeta

    def __init__(self, value1):
        pass

Replacing the constructor is perhaps a bit dramatic, but the language does provide support for this kind of deep introspection and dynamic modification.
