jQuery - Sticky header that shrinks when scrolling down

Here a CSS animation fork of jezzipin's Solution, to seperate code from styling.

JS:

$(window).on("scroll touchmove", function () {
  $('#header_nav').toggleClass('tiny', $(document).scrollTop() > 0);
});

CSS:

.header {
  width:100%;
  height:100px;
  background: #26b;
  color: #fff;
  position:fixed;
  top:0;
  left:0;
  transition: height 500ms, background 500ms;
}
.header.tiny {
  height:40px;
  background: #aaa;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/sinky/S8Fnq/

On scroll/touchmove the css class "tiny" is set to "#header_nav" if "$(document).scrollTop()" is greater than 0.

CSS transition attribute animates the "height" and "background" attribute nicely.

Does Arduino use C or C++?

Arduino doesn't run either C or C++. It runs machine code compiled from either C, C++ or any other language that has a compiler for the Arduino instruction set.

C being a subset of C++, if Arduino can "run" C++ then it can "run" C.

If you don't already know C nor C++, you should probably start with C, just to get used to the whole "pointer" thing. You'll lose all the object inheritance capabilities though.

Adjust UILabel height depending on the text

One line is Chris's answer is wrong.

newFrame.size.height = maximumLabelSize.height;

should be

newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;

Other than that, it's the correct solution.

How to add image in a TextView text?

This might Help You

  SpannableStringBuilder ssBuilder;

        ssBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder(" ");
        // working code ImageSpan image = new ImageSpan(textView.getContext(), R.drawable.image);
        Drawable image = ContextCompat.getDrawable(textView.getContext(), R.drawable.image);
        float scale = textView.getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
        int width = (int) (12 * scale + 0.5f);
        int height = (int) (18 * scale + 0.5f);
        image.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
        ImageSpan imageSpan = new ImageSpan(image, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BASELINE);
        ssBuilder.setSpan(
                imageSpan, // Span to add
                0, // Start of the span (inclusive)
                1, // End of the span (exclusive)
                Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);// Do not extend the span when text add later

        ssBuilder.append(" " + text);
        ssBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
        textView.setText(ssBuilder);

Maximum execution time in phpMyadmin

I have the same error, please go to

xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php

Look for : $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 600;

You can change '600' to any higher value, like '6000'.

Maximum execution time in seconds is (0 for no limit).

This will fix your error.

jQuery send string as POST parameters

Try like this:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    // make sure you respect the same origin policy with this url:
    // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy
    url: 'http://nakolesah.ru/',
    data: { 
        'foo': 'bar', 
        'ca$libri': 'no$libri' // <-- the $ sign in the parameter name seems unusual, I would avoid it
    },
    success: function(msg){
        alert('wow' + msg);
    }
});

What is Python buffer type for?

I think buffers are e.g. useful when interfacing python to native libraries. (Guido van Rossum explains buffer in this mailinglist post).

For example, numpy seems to use buffer for efficient data storage:

import numpy
a = numpy.ndarray(1000000)

the a.data is a:

<read-write buffer for 0x1d7b410, size 8000000, offset 0 at 0x1e353b0>

How do I fix certificate errors when running wget on an HTTPS URL in Cygwin?

Looking at current hacky solutions in here, I feel I have to describe a proper solution after all.

First, you need to install the cygwin package ca-certificates via Cygwin's setup.exe to get the certificates.

Do NOT use curl or similar hacks to download certificates (as a neighboring answer advices) because that's fundamentally insecure and may compromise the system.

Second, you need to tell wget where your certificates are, since it doesn't pick them up by default in Cygwin environment. If you can do that either with the command-line parameter --ca-directory=/usr/ssl/certs (best for shell scripts) or by adding ca_directory = /usr/ssl/certs to ~/.wgetrc file.

You can also fix that by running ln -sT /usr/ssl /etc/ssl as pointed out in another answer, but that will work only if you have administrative access to the system. Other solutions I described do not require that.

Regex date format validation on Java

Construct a SimpleDateFormat with the mask, and then call: SimpleDateFormat.parse(String s, ParsePosition p)

Border around each cell in a range

You can also include this task within another macro, without opening a new one:

I don't put Sub and end Sub, because the macro contains much longer code, as per picture below

With Sheets("1_PL").Range("EF1631:JJ1897")
    With .Borders
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .Color = vbBlack
    .Weight = xlThin

How do you change the datatype of a column in SQL Server?

ALTER TABLE TableName

EDIT As noted NULL/NOT NULL should have been specified, see Rob's answer as well.

Can I call jQuery's click() to follow an <a> link if I haven't bound an event handler to it with bind or click already?

Trigger a hyperlink <a> element that is inside the element you want to hookup the jQuery .click() to:

<div class="TopicControl">
    <div class="articleImage">
       <a href=""><img src="" alt=""></a>
    </div>
</div>

In your script you hookup to the main container you want the click event on. Then you use standard jQuery methodology to find the element (type, class, and id) and fire the click. jQuery enters a recursive function to fire the click and you break the recursive function by taking the event 'e' and stopPropagation() function and return false, because you don't want jQuery to do anything else but fire the link.

$('.TopicControl').click(function (event) {
    $(this).find('a').click();
    event.stopPropagation();
    return false;
});

Alternative solution is to wrap the containers in the <a> element and place 's as containers inside instead of <div>'s. Set the spans to display block to conform with W3C standards.

Why use def main()?

Without the main sentinel, the code would be executed even if the script were imported as a module.

Difference between volatile and synchronized in Java

It's important to understand that there are two aspects to thread safety.

  1. execution control, and
  2. memory visibility

The first has to do with controlling when code executes (including the order in which instructions are executed) and whether it can execute concurrently, and the second to do with when the effects in memory of what has been done are visible to other threads. Because each CPU has several levels of cache between it and main memory, threads running on different CPUs or cores can see "memory" differently at any given moment in time because threads are permitted to obtain and work on private copies of main memory.

Using synchronized prevents any other thread from obtaining the monitor (or lock) for the same object, thereby preventing all code blocks protected by synchronization on the same object from executing concurrently. Synchronization also creates a "happens-before" memory barrier, causing a memory visibility constraint such that anything done up to the point some thread releases a lock appears to another thread subsequently acquiring the same lock to have happened before it acquired the lock. In practical terms, on current hardware, this typically causes flushing of the CPU caches when a monitor is acquired and writes to main memory when it is released, both of which are (relatively) expensive.

Using volatile, on the other hand, forces all accesses (read or write) to the volatile variable to occur to main memory, effectively keeping the volatile variable out of CPU caches. This can be useful for some actions where it is simply required that visibility of the variable be correct and order of accesses is not important. Using volatile also changes treatment of long and double to require accesses to them to be atomic; on some (older) hardware this might require locks, though not on modern 64 bit hardware. Under the new (JSR-133) memory model for Java 5+, the semantics of volatile have been strengthened to be almost as strong as synchronized with respect to memory visibility and instruction ordering (see http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/pugh/java/memoryModel/jsr-133-faq.html#volatile). For the purposes of visibility, each access to a volatile field acts like half a synchronization.

Under the new memory model, it is still true that volatile variables cannot be reordered with each other. The difference is that it is now no longer so easy to reorder normal field accesses around them. Writing to a volatile field has the same memory effect as a monitor release, and reading from a volatile field has the same memory effect as a monitor acquire. In effect, because the new memory model places stricter constraints on reordering of volatile field accesses with other field accesses, volatile or not, anything that was visible to thread A when it writes to volatile field f becomes visible to thread B when it reads f.

-- JSR 133 (Java Memory Model) FAQ

So, now both forms of memory barrier (under the current JMM) cause an instruction re-ordering barrier which prevents the compiler or run-time from re-ordering instructions across the barrier. In the old JMM, volatile did not prevent re-ordering. This can be important, because apart from memory barriers the only limitation imposed is that, for any particular thread, the net effect of the code is the same as it would be if the instructions were executed in precisely the order in which they appear in the source.

One use of volatile is for a shared but immutable object is recreated on the fly, with many other threads taking a reference to the object at a particular point in their execution cycle. One needs the other threads to begin using the recreated object once it is published, but does not need the additional overhead of full synchronization and it's attendant contention and cache flushing.

// Declaration
public class SharedLocation {
    static public SomeObject someObject=new SomeObject(); // default object
    }

// Publishing code
// Note: do not simply use SharedLocation.someObject.xxx(), since although
//       someObject will be internally consistent for xxx(), a subsequent 
//       call to yyy() might be inconsistent with xxx() if the object was 
//       replaced in between calls.
SharedLocation.someObject=new SomeObject(...); // new object is published

// Using code
private String getError() {
    SomeObject myCopy=SharedLocation.someObject; // gets current copy
    ...
    int cod=myCopy.getErrorCode();
    String txt=myCopy.getErrorText();
    return (cod+" - "+txt);
    }
// And so on, with myCopy always in a consistent state within and across calls
// Eventually we will return to the code that gets the current SomeObject.

Speaking to your read-update-write question, specifically. Consider the following unsafe code:

public void updateCounter() {
    if(counter==1000) { counter=0; }
    else              { counter++; }
    }

Now, with the updateCounter() method unsynchronized, two threads may enter it at the same time. Among the many permutations of what could happen, one is that thread-1 does the test for counter==1000 and finds it true and is then suspended. Then thread-2 does the same test and also sees it true and is suspended. Then thread-1 resumes and sets counter to 0. Then thread-2 resumes and again sets counter to 0 because it missed the update from thread-1. This can also happen even if thread switching does not occur as I have described, but simply because two different cached copies of counter were present in two different CPU cores and the threads each ran on a separate core. For that matter, one thread could have counter at one value and the other could have counter at some entirely different value just because of caching.

What's important in this example is that the variable counter was read from main memory into cache, updated in cache and only written back to main memory at some indeterminate point later when a memory barrier occurred or when the cache memory was needed for something else. Making the counter volatile is insufficient for thread-safety of this code, because the test for the maximum and the assignments are discrete operations, including the increment which is a set of non-atomic read+increment+write machine instructions, something like:

MOV EAX,counter
INC EAX
MOV counter,EAX

Volatile variables are useful only when all operations performed on them are "atomic", such as my example where a reference to a fully formed object is only read or written (and, indeed, typically it's only written from a single point). Another example would be a volatile array reference backing a copy-on-write list, provided the array was only read by first taking a local copy of the reference to it.

How do I print the type or class of a variable in Swift?

Swift 4:

// "TypeName"
func stringType(of some: Any) -> String {
    let string = (some is Any.Type) ? String(describing: some) : String(describing: type(of: some))
    return string
}

// "ModuleName.TypeName"
func fullStringType(of some: Any) -> String {
    let string = (some is Any.Type) ? String(reflecting: some) : String(reflecting: type(of: some))
    return string
}

Usage:

print(stringType(of: SomeClass()))     // "SomeClass"
print(stringType(of: SomeClass.self))  // "SomeClass"
print(stringType(of: String()))        // "String"
print(fullStringType(of: String()))    // "Swift.String"

Getting files by creation date in .NET

If the performance is an issue, you can use this command in MS_DOS:

dir /OD >d:\dir.txt

This command generate a dir.txt file in **d:** root the have all files sorted by date. And then read the file from your code. Also, you add other filters by * and ?.

How can I change the font size using seaborn FacetGrid?

I've made small modifications to @paul-H code, such that you can set the font size for the x/y axes and legend independently. Hope it helps:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
x = np.random.normal(size=37)
y = np.random.lognormal(size=37)

# defaults                                                                                                         
sns.set()
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y, marker='s', linestyle='none', label='small')
ax.legend(loc='upper left', fontsize=20,bbox_to_anchor=(0, 1.1))
ax.set_xlabel('X_axi',fontsize=20);
ax.set_ylabel('Y_axis',fontsize=20);

plt.show()

This is the output:

Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated

Nitin is correct - the issue is actually in the MDB2 code.

According to Replacement for PEAR: MDB2 on PHP 5.3 you can update to the SVN version of MDB2 for a version which is PHP5.3 compatible.

As that answer was given in March 2010, and http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2/ shows a release some months later, I expect the current version of MDB2 will solve the issue also.

Cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication

If you do not have control of the server

I just had this issue, and was able to work around it.

First, connect to the MySQL database with an older client that doesn't mind old_passwords. Connect using the user that your script will be using.

Run these queries:

SET SESSION old_passwords=FALSE;
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('[your password]');

In your PHP script, change your mysql_connect function to include the client flag 1:

define('CLIENT_LONG_PASSWORD', 1);
mysql_connect('[your server]', '[your username]', '[your password]', false, CLIENT_LONG_PASSWORD);

This allowed me to connect successfully.

Edit: as per Garland Pope's comment, it may not be necessary to set CLIENT_LONG_PASSWORD manually any more in your PHP code as of PHP 5.4!

Edit: courtesy of Antonio Bonifati, a PHP script to run the queries for you:

<?php const DB = [ 'host' => '...', # localhost may not work on some hosting 
    'user' => '...',
    'pwd' => '...', ]; 

if (!mysql_connect(DB['host'], DB['user'], DB['pwd'])) {
    die(mysql_error());
} if (!mysql_query($query = 'SET SESSION old_passwords=FALSE')) {
    die($query);
} if (!mysql_query($query = "SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('" . DB['pwd'] . "')")) {
    die($query);
}

echo "Excellent, mysqli will now work"; 
?>

Java : Accessing a class within a package, which is the better way?

Import package is for better readability;

Fully qualified class has to be used in special scenarios. For example, same class name in different package, or use reflect such as Class.forName().

How to delete last item in list?

You need:

record = record[:-1]

before the for loop.

This will set record to the current record list but without the last item. You may, depending on your needs, want to ensure the list isn't empty before doing this.

What's the best way to loop through a set of elements in JavaScript?

I know that you don't want to hear that, but: I consider the best practice is the most readable in this case. As long as the loop is not counting from here to the moon, the performance-gain will not be uhge enough.

Splitting applicationContext to multiple files

I'm the author of modular-spring-contexts.

This is a small utility library to allow a more modular organization of spring contexts than is achieved by using Composing XML-based configuration metadata. modular-spring-contexts works by defining modules, which are basically stand alone application contexts and allowing modules to import beans from other modules, which are exported ín their originating module.

The key points then are

  • control over dependencies between modules
  • control over which beans are exported and where they are used
  • reduced possibility of naming collisions of beans

A simple example would look like this:

Python Requests package: Handling xml response

requests does not handle parsing XML responses, no. XML responses are much more complex in nature than JSON responses, how you'd serialize XML data into Python structures is not nearly as straightforward.

Python comes with built-in XML parsers. I recommend you use the ElementTree API:

import requests
from xml.etree import ElementTree

response = requests.get(url)

tree = ElementTree.fromstring(response.content)

or, if the response is particularly large, use an incremental approach:

    response = requests.get(url, stream=True)
    # if the server sent a Gzip or Deflate compressed response, decompress
    # as we read the raw stream:
    response.raw.decode_content = True

    events = ElementTree.iterparse(response.raw)
    for event, elem in events:
        # do something with `elem`

The external lxml project builds on the same API to give you more features and power still.

JavaScript open in a new window, not tab

I just tried this with IE (11) and Chrome (54.0.2794.1 canary SyzyASan):

window.open(url, "_blank", "x=y")

... and it opened in a new window.

Which means that Clint pachl had it right when he said that providing any one parameter will cause the new window to open.

-- and apparently it doesn't have to be a legitimate parameter!

(YMMV - as I said, I only tested it in two places...and the next upgrade might invalidate the results, any way)

ETA: I just noticed, though - in IE, the window has no decorations.

How to process SIGTERM signal gracefully?

            run_func_2()

    Both functions will be executed even if a sigterm or sigkill has been received.
    """
    killed = False

    def _handler(self, signum, frame):
        logging.error("Received SIGINT or SIGTERM! Finishing this block, then exiting.")
        self.killed = True

    def __enter__(self):
        self.old_sigint = signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, self._handler)
        self.old_sigterm = signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, self._handler)

    def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
        if self.killed:

How to add hours to current time in python

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

nine_hours_from_now = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=9)
#datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 3, 23, 24, 31, 774118)

And then use string formatting to get the relevant pieces:

>>> '{:%H:%M:%S}'.format(nine_hours_from_now)
'23:24:31'

If you're only formatting the datetime then you can use:

>>> format(nine_hours_from_now, '%H:%M:%S')
'23:24:31'

Or, as @eumiro has pointed out in comments - strftime

Cannot use mkdir in home directory: permission denied (Linux Lubuntu)

sudo mkdir DirName

Should I use 'border: none' or 'border: 0'?

While results will most likely be the same (no border), the 0 and none are technically addressing different things.

0 addresses border width and none addresses border style. Obviously a border of 0 width is nonexistent so will therefore have no style.

However, if later on in your stylesheet you intend to override this, you would naturally specifically address one or the other. If I now wanted a 3px border, that would be directly overriding border: 0 in regards to width. If I now wanted a dotted border, that would be directly overriding border: none in regards to styling.

Unexpected token }

Try running the entire script through jslint. This may help point you at the cause of the error.

Edit Ok, it's not quite the syntax of the script that's the problem. At least not in a way that jslint can detect.

Having played with your live code at http://ft2.hostei.com/ft.v1/, it looks like there are syntax errors in the generated code that your script puts into an onclick attribute in the DOM. Most browsers don't do a very good job of reporting errors in JavaScript run via such things (what is the file and line number of a piece of script in the onclick attribute of a dynamically inserted element?). This is probably why you get a confusing error message in Chrome. The FireFox error message is different, and also doesn't have a useful line number, although FireBug does show the code which causes the problem.

This snippet of code is taken from your edit function which is in the inline script block of your HTML:

var sub = document.getElementById('submit');
...
sub.setAttribute("onclick", "save(\""+file+"\", document.getElementById('name').value, document.getElementById('text').value");

Note that this sets the onclick attribute of an element to invalid JavaScript code:

<input type="submit" id="submit" onclick="save("data/wasup.htm", document.getElementById('name').value, document.getElementById('text').value">

The JS is:

save("data/wasup.htm", document.getElementById('name').value, document.getElementById('text').value

Note the missing close paren to finish the call to save.

As an aside, inserting onclick attributes is not a very modern or clean way of adding event handlers in JavaScript. Why are you not using the DOM's addEventListener to simply hook up a function to the element? If you were using something like jQuery, this would be simpler still.

You can use a regular expression: window.location.href.match(/^[^\#\?]+/)[0]

How to check if Location Services are enabled?

For kotlin

 private fun isLocationEnabled(mContext: Context): Boolean {
    val lm = mContext.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
    return lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) || lm.isProviderEnabled(
            LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
 }

dialog

private fun showLocationIsDisabledAlert() {
    alert("We can't show your position because you generally disabled the location service for your device.") {
        yesButton {
        }
        neutralPressed("Settings") {
            startActivity(Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS))
        }
    }.show()
}

call like this

 if (!isLocationEnabled(this.context)) {
        showLocationIsDisabledAlert()
 }

Hint: the dialog needs the following imports (android studio should handle this for you)

import org.jetbrains.anko.alert
import org.jetbrains.anko.noButton

And in the manifest you need the following permissions

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

Setting PHPMyAdmin Language

sounds like you downloaded the german xampp package instead of the english xampp package (yes, it's another download-link) where the language is set according to the package you loaded. to change the language afterwards, simply edit the config.inc.php and set:

$cfg['Lang'] = 'en-utf-8';

How to skip over an element in .map()?

I use .forEach to iterate over , and push result to results array then use it, with this solution I will not loop over array twice

Class method decorator with self arguments?

Another option would be to abandon the syntactic sugar and decorate in the __init__ of the class.

def countdown(number):
    def countdown_decorator(func):
        def func_wrapper():
            for index in reversed(range(1, number+1)):
                print(index)
            func()
        return func_wrapper
    return countdown_decorator

class MySuperClass():
    def __init__(self, number):
        self.number = number
        self.do_thing = countdown(number)(self.do_thing)
    
    def do_thing(self):
        print('im doing stuff!')


myclass = MySuperClass(3)

myclass.do_thing()

which would print

3
2
1
im doing stuff!

CSS / HTML Navigation and Logo on same line

Try this CSS:

Best way to combine two or more byte arrays in C#

The memorystream class does this job pretty nicely for me. I couldn't get the buffer class to run as fast as memorystream.

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
  ms.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(22),0,4);
  ms.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(44),0,4);
  ms.ToArray();
}

How to create timer in angular2

I faced a problem that I had to use a timer, but I had to display them in 2 component same time, same screen. I created the timerObservable in a service. I subscribed to the timer in both component, and what happened? It won't be synched, cause new subscription always creates its own stream.

What I would like to say, is that if you plan to use one timer at several places, always put .publishReplay(1).refCount() at the end of the Observer, cause it will publish the same stream out of it every time.

Example:

this.startDateTimer = Observable.combineLatest(this.timer, this.startDate$, (localTimer, startDate) => {
  return this.calculateTime(startDate);
}).publishReplay(1).refCount();

Default session timeout for Apache Tomcat applications

Open $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml and find this

<!-- ==================== Default Session Configuration ================= -->
<!-- You can set the default session timeout (in minutes) for all newly   -->
<!-- created sessions by modifying the value below.                       -->

<session-config>
  <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>

all webapps implicitly inherit from this default web descriptor. You can override session-config as well as other settings defined there in your web.xml.

This is actually from my Tomcat 7 (Windows) but I think 5.5 conf is not very different

How do I convert a String to an int in Java?

It can be done in seven ways:

import com.google.common.primitives.Ints;
import org.apache.commons.lang.math.NumberUtils;

String number = "999";
  1. Ints.tryParse:

    int result = Ints.tryParse(number);

  2. NumberUtils.createInteger:

    Integer result = NumberUtils.createInteger(number);

  3. NumberUtils.toInt:

    int result = NumberUtils.toInt(number);

  4. Integer.valueOf:

    Integer result = Integer.valueOf(number);

  5. Integer.parseInt:

    int result = Integer.parseInt(number);

  6. Integer.decode:

    int result = Integer.decode(number);

  7. Integer.parseUnsignedInt:

    int result = Integer.parseUnsignedInt(number);

Reactive forms - disabled attribute

How to edit incorrect commit message in Mercurial?

One hack i use if the revision i want to edit is not so old:

Let's say you're at rev 500 and you want to edit 497.

hg export -o rev497 497
hg export -o rev498 498
hg export -o rev499 499
hg export -o rev500 500

Edit rev497 file and change the message. (It's after first lines preceded by "#")

hg import rev497
hg import rev498
hg import rev499
hg import rev500

Where is SQL Server Management Studio 2012?

I downloaded it from here (named 'Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools'). In this version you will get a Visual Studio 2012 installation with the functionality to manage the SQL Server 2012 server.

DataColumn Name from DataRow (not DataTable)

You would still need to go through the DataTable class. But you can do so using your DataRow instance by using the Table property.

foreach (DataColumn c in dr.Table.Columns)  //loop through the columns. 
{
    MessageBox.Show(c.ColumnName);
}

How do I get extra data from intent on Android?

If used in a FragmentActivity, try this:

The first page extends FragmentActivity

Intent Tabdetail = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ReceivePage.class);
Tabdetail.putExtra("Marker", marker.getTitle().toString());
startActivity(Tabdetail);

In the fragment, you just need to call getActivity() first,

The second page extends Fragment:

String receive = getActivity().getIntent().getExtras().getString("name");

MySql server startup error 'The server quit without updating PID file '

If your system has multiple version of Mysql then you are likely going to hit this PID error

we can begin with killing all MySQL process
sudo killall mysqld

Go to /usr/local choose which MySQL version you want to have, then provide the MySQL permission to that. In my case I needed version 8.
sudo chown -R mysql mysql-8.0.21-macos10.15-x86_64

Go to the folder /usr/local/mysql-8.0.21-macos10.15-x86_64 & start SQL server
sudo ./mysql.server start(Enter your laptop password) If it gives below output... the PID issue is solved

@xxxx-M-R0SU support-files $ sudo ./mysql.server start Starting MySQL .. SUCCESS!

How to import Angular Material in project?

Install & Add Material to Angular Projects

There is an automatic/easy way of adding Material to Angular Projects. Use the Angular CLI's install schematic to set up your Angular Material project by running the following command:

ng add @angular/material

The ng add command will additionally perform the following configurations:

  • Add project dependencies to package.json
  • Add the Roboto font to your index.html
  • Add the Material Design icon font to your index.html
  • Add a few global CSS styles to:
    • Remove margins from body
    • Set height: 100% on html and body
    • Set Roboto as the default application font

You're done! Angular Material is now configured to be used in your application.

Javascript extends class

   extend = function(destination, source) {   
          for (var property in source) {
            destination[property] = source[property];

          return destination;
    };

Extending JavaScript

You could also add filters into the for loop.

Virtualbox "port forward" from Guest to Host

That's not possible. localhost always defaults to the loopback device on the local operating system.
As your virtual machine runs its own operating system it has its own loopback device which you cannot access from the outside.

If you want to access it e.g. in a browser, connect to it using the local IP instead:

http://192.168.180.1:8000

This is just an example of course, you can find out the actual IP by issuing an ifconfig command on a shell in the guest operating system.

jquery: change the URL address without redirecting?

You can't do what you ask (and the linked site does not do exactly that either).

You can, however, modify the part of the url after the # sign, which is called the fragment, like this:

window.location.hash = 'something';

Fragments do not get sent to the server (so, for example, Google itself cannot tell the difference between http://www.google.com/ and http://www.google.com/#something), but they can be read by Javascript on your page. In turn, this Javascript can decide to perform a different AJAX request based on the value of the fragment, which is how the site you linked to probably does it.

How do I parse JSON with Objective-C?

JSON parsing using NSJSONSerialization

   NSString* path  = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"data" ofType:@"json"];
   
    //Here you can take JSON string from your URL ,I am using json file
    NSString* jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    NSData* jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSError *jsonError;
    NSArray *jsonDataArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:[jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options:kNilOptions error:&jsonError];
  
    NSLog(@"jsonDataArray: %@",jsonDataArray);

    NSDictionary *jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:kNilOptions error:&jsonError];
if(jsonObject !=nil){
   // NSString *errorCode=[NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[jsonObject objectForKey:@"response"]];
   
        
        if(![[jsonObject objectForKey:@"#data"] isEqual:@""]){
            
            NSMutableArray *array=[jsonObject objectForKey:@"#data"];
             // NSLog(@"array: %@",array);
            NSLog(@"array: %d",array.count);  
            
            int k = 0;
            for(int z = 0; z<array.count;z++){
                
                NSString *strfd = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",k];
                NSDictionary *dicr = jsonObject[@"#data"][strfd];
                k=k+1;
                // NSLog(@"dicr: %@",dicr);
                 NSLog(@"Firstname - Lastname   : %@ - %@",
                     [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dicr objectForKey:@"user_first_name"]],
                     [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dicr objectForKey:@"user_last_name"]]);
            }
            
          }

     }

You can see the Console output as below :

Firstname - Lastname : Chandra Bhusan - Pandey

Firstname - Lastname : Kalaiyarasan - Balu

Firstname - Lastname : (null) - (null)

Firstname - Lastname : Girija - S

Firstname - Lastname : Girija - S

Firstname - Lastname : (null) - (null)

How to delete all instances of a character in a string in python?

I suggest split (not saying that the other answers are invalid, this is just another way to do it):

def findreplace(char, string):
   return ''.join(string.split(char))

Splitting by a character removes all the characters and turns it into a list. Then we join the list with the join function. You can see the ipython console test below

In[112]: findreplace('i', 'it is icy')
Out[112]: 't s cy'

And the speed...

In[114]: timeit("findreplace('it is icy','i')", "from __main__ import findreplace")
Out[114]: 0.9927914671134204

Not as fast as replace or translate, but ok.

How to create a Multidimensional ArrayList in Java?

Credit goes for JAcob Tomao for the code. I only added some comments to help beginners like me understand it. I hope it helps.

// read about Generic Types In Java & the use of class<T,...> syntax
// This class will Allow me to create 2D Arrays that do not have fixed sizes    
class TwoDimArrayList<T> extends ArrayList<ArrayList<T>> {
    public void addToInnerArray(int index, T element) {
        while (index >= this.size()) {
            // Create enough Arrays to get to position = index
            this.add(new ArrayList<T>()); // (as if going along Vertical axis)
        }
        // this.get(index) returns the Arraylist instance at the "index" position
        this.get(index).add(element); // (as if going along Horizontal axis)
    }

    public void addToInnerArray(int index, int index2, T element) {
        while (index >= this.size()) {
            this.add(new ArrayList<T>());// (as if going along Vertical
        }
        //access the inner ArrayList at the "index" position.
        ArrayList<T> inner = this.get(index);
        while (index2 >= inner.size()) {
            //add enough positions containing "null" to get to the position index 2 ..
            //.. within the inner array. (if the requested position is too far)
            inner.add(null); // (as if going along Horizontal axis)
        }
        //Overwrite "null" or "old_element" with the new "element" at the "index 2" ..
        //.. position of the chosen(index) inner ArrayList
        inner.set(index2, element); // (as if going along Horizontal axis)
    }
}

How to coerce a list object to type 'double'

You can also use list subsetting to select the element you want to convert. It would be useful if your list had more than 1 element.

as.numeric(a[[1]])

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in

As you might have already about knew the error. This is due to trying to access the empty array or trying to access the value of empty key of array. In my project, I am dealing with this error with counting the array and displaying result.

You can do it like this:

if(count($votes) == '0'){

    echo 'Sorry, no votes are available at the moment.';
}
else{
    //do the stuff with votes
}

count($votes) counts the $votes array. If it is equal to zero (0), you can display your custom message or redirect to certain page else you can do stuff with $votes. In this way you can remove the Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in notice in PHP.

Is there a way to remove the separator line from a UITableView?

There is bug a iOS 9 beta 4: the separator line appears between UITableViewCells even if you set separatorStyle to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone from the storyboard. To get around this, you have to set it from code, because as of now there is a bug from storyboard. Hope they will fix it in future beta.

Here's the code to set it:

[self.tableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone];

How to Migrate to WKWebView?

WKWebView using Swift in iOS 8..

The whole ViewController.swift file now looks like this:

import UIKit
import WebKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var containerView : UIView! = nil
    var webView: WKWebView?

    override func loadView() {
        super.loadView()

        self.webView = WKWebView()
        self.view = self.webView!
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        var url = NSURL(string:"http://www.kinderas.com/")
        var req = NSURLRequest(URL:url)
        self.webView!.loadRequest(req)
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    }

}

Failed to instantiate module [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: $routeProvider

The ngRoute module is no longer part of the core angular.js file. If you are continuing to use $routeProvider then you will now need to include angular-route.js in your HTML:

<script src="angular.js">
<script src="angular-route.js">

API Reference

You also have to add ngRoute as a dependency for your application:

var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['ngRoute', ...]);

If instead you are planning on using angular-ui-router or the like then just remove the $routeProvider dependency from your module .config() and substitute it with the relevant provider of choice (e.g. $stateProvider). You would then use the ui.router dependency:

var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.router', ...]);

Polygon Drawing and Getting Coordinates with Google Map API v3

Adding to Gisheri's answer

           console.log("Lat is: "+lat+" Long is: "+lon); //do something with the coordinates

        });

How to properly use unit-testing's assertRaises() with NoneType objects?

The usual way to use assertRaises is to call a function:

self.assertRaises(TypeError, test_function, args)

to test that the function call test_function(args) raises a TypeError.

The problem with self.testListNone[:1] is that Python evaluates the expression immediately, before the assertRaises method is called. The whole reason why test_function and args is passed as separate arguments to self.assertRaises is to allow assertRaises to call test_function(args) from within a try...except block, allowing assertRaises to catch the exception.

Since you've defined self.testListNone = None, and you need a function to call, you might use operator.itemgetter like this:

import operator
self.assertRaises(TypeError, operator.itemgetter, (self.testListNone,slice(None,1)))

since

operator.itemgetter(self.testListNone,slice(None,1))

is a long-winded way of saying self.testListNone[:1], but which separates the function (operator.itemgetter) from the arguments.

How do I write a method to calculate total cost for all items in an array?

In your for loop you need to multiply the units * price. That gives you the total for that particular item. Also in the for loop you should add that to a counter that keeps track of the grand total. Your code would look something like

float total;
total += theItem.getUnits() * theItem.getPrice();

total should be scoped so it's accessible from within main unless you want to pass it around between function calls. Then you can either just print out the total or create a method that prints it out for you.

Maximum number of rows in an MS Access database engine table?

It all depends. Theoretically using a single column with 4 byte data type. You could store 300 000 rows. But there is probably alot of overhead in the database even before you do anything. I read some where that you could have 1.000.000 rows but again, it all depends..

You can also link databases together. Limiting yourself to only disk space.

What is the difference between C# and .NET?

C# is a programming language.

.Net is a framework used for building applications on Windows.

.Net framework is not limited to C#. Different languages can target .Net framework and build applications using that framework. Examples are F# or VB.Net

Add a column in a table in HIVE QL

You cannot add a column with a default value in Hive. You have the right syntax for adding the column ALTER TABLE test1 ADD COLUMNS (access_count1 int);, you just need to get rid of default sum(max_count). No changes to that files backing your table will happen as a result of adding the column. Hive handles the "missing" data by interpreting NULL as the value for every cell in that column.

So now your have the problem of needing to populate the column. Unfortunately in Hive you essentially need to rewrite the whole table, this time with the column populated. It may be easier to rerun your original query with the new column. Or you could add the column to the table you have now, then select all of its columns plus value for the new column.

You also have the option to always COALESCE the column to your desired default and leave it NULL for now. This option fails when you want NULL to have a meaning distinct from your desired default. It also requires you to depend on always remembering to COALESCE.

If you are very confident in your abilities to deal with the files backing Hive, you could also directly alter them to add your default. In general I would recommend against this because most of the time it will be slower and more dangerous. There might be some case where it makes sense though, so I've included this option for completeness.

Combine two tables that have no common fields

To get a meaningful/useful view of the two tables, you normally need to determine an identifying field from each table that can then be used in the ON clause in a JOIN.

THen in your view:

SELECT T1.*, T2.* FROM T1 JOIN T2 ON T1.IDFIELD1 = T2.IDFIELD2

You mention no fields are "common", but although the identifying fields may not have the same name or even be the same data type, you could use the convert / cast functions to join them in some way.

Documentation for using JavaScript code inside a PDF file

Look for books by Ted Padova. Over the years, he has written a series of books called The Acrobat PDF {5,6,7,8,9...} Bible. They contain chapter(s) on JavaScript in PDF files. They are not as comprehensive as the reference documentation listed here, but in the books there are some realistic use-cases discussed in context.

There was also a talk on hacking PDF files by a computer scientist, given at a conference in 2010. The link on the talk's announcement-page to the slides is dead, but Google is your friend-. The talk is not exclusively on JavaScript, though. YouTube video - JavaScript starts at 06:00.

Managing large binary files with Git

You can also use git-fat. I like that it only depends on stock Python and rsync. It also supports the usual Git workflow, with the following self explanatory commands:

git fat init
git fat push
git fat pull

In addition, you need to check in a .gitfat file into your repository and modify your .gitattributes to specify the file extensions you want git fat to manage.

You add a binary using the normal git add, which in turn invokes git fat based on your gitattributes rules.

Finally, it has the advantage that the location where your binaries are actually stored can be shared across repositories and users and supports anything rsync does.

UPDATE: Do not use git-fat if you're using a Git-SVN bridge. It will end up removing the binary files from your Subversion repository. However, if you're using a pure Git repository, it works beautifully.

Having both a Created and Last Updated timestamp columns in MySQL 4.0

You can have them both, just take off the "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" flag on the created field. Whenever you create a new record in the table, just use "NOW()" for a value.

Or.

On the contrary, remove the 'ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' flag and send the NOW() for that field. That way actually makes more sense.

How to add fixed button to the bottom right of page

You are specifying .fixedbutton in your CSS (a class) and specifying the id on the element itself.

Change your CSS to the following, which will select the id fixedbutton

#fixedbutton {
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0px;
    right: 0px; 
}

Here's a jsFiddle courtesy of JoshC.

Can I apply a CSS style to an element name?

if in case you are not using name in input but other element, then you can target other element with there attribute.

_x000D_
_x000D_
    [title~=flower] {_x000D_
      border: 5px solid yellow;_x000D_
    }
_x000D_
    <img src="klematis.jpg" title="klematis flower" width="150" height="113">_x000D_

JSON date to Java date?

If you need to support more than one format you will have to pattern match your input and parse accordingly.

final DateFormat fmt;
if (dateString.endsWith("Z")) {
    fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
} else {
    fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
}

I'd guess you're dealing with a bug in the API you're using which has quoted the Z timezone date pattern somewhere...

json_encode function: special characters

To me, it works this way:

# Creating the ARRAY from Result.
$array=array();

while($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
    # Converting each column to UTF8
    $row = array_map('utf8_encode', $row);
    array_push($array,$row);
}

json_encode($array);

how to show progress bar(circle) in an activity having a listview before loading the listview with data

Please use the sample at tutorialspoint.com. The whole implementation only needs a few lines of code without changing your xml file. Hope this helps.

STEP 1: Import library

import android.app.ProgressDialog;

STEP 2: Declare ProgressDialog global variable

ProgressDialog loading = null;

STEP 3: Start new ProgressDialog and use the following properties (please be informed that this sample only covers the basic circle loading bar without the real time progress status).

loading = new ProgressDialog(v.getContext());
loading.setCancelable(true);
loading.setMessage(Constant.Message.AuthenticatingUser);
loading.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);

STEP 4: If you are using AsyncTasks, you can start showing the dialog in onPreExecute method. Otherwise, just place the code in the beginning of your button onClick event.

loading.show();

STEP 5: If you are using AsyncTasks, you can close the progress dialog by placing the code in onPostExecute method. Otherwise, just place the code before closing your button onClick event.

loading.dismiss();

Tested it with my Nexus 5 android v4.0.3. Good luck!

How to get distinct results in hibernate with joins and row-based limiting (paging)?

You can achieve the desired result by requesting a list of distinct ids instead of a list of distinct hydrated objects.

Simply add this to your criteria:

criteria.setProjection(Projections.distinct(Projections.property("id")));

Now you'll get the correct number of results according to your row-based limiting. The reason this works is because the projection will perform the distinctness check as part of the sql query, instead of what a ResultTransformer does which is to filter the results for distinctness after the sql query has been performed.

Worth noting is that instead of getting a list of objects, you will now get a list of ids, which you can use to hydrate objects from hibernate later.

Making the Android emulator run faster

I would like to suggest giving Genymotion a spin. It runs in Oracle's VirtualBox, and will legitimately hit 60 fps on a moderate system.

Here's a screencap from one of my workshops, running on a low-end 2012 model MacBook Air:

Nexus 7 emulator running at 56.6 fps

If you can't read the text, it's a Nexus 7 emulator running at 56.6 fps. The additional (big!) bonus is that Google Play and Google Play Services come packaged with the virtual machines.

How do I delete an item or object from an array using ng-click?

I disagree that you should be calling a method on your controller. You should be using a service for any actual functionality, and you should be defining directives for any functionality for scalability and modularity, as well as assigning a click event which contains a call to the service which you inject into your directive.

So, for instance, on your HTML...

<a class="btn" ng-remove-birthday="$index">Delete</a>

Then, create a directive...

angular.module('myApp').directive('ngRemoveBirthday', ['myService', function(myService){
    return function(scope, element, attrs){
        angular.element(element.bind('click', function(){
            myService.removeBirthday(scope.$eval(attrs.ngRemoveBirthday), scope);  
        };       
    };
}])

Then in your service...

angular.module('myApp').factory('myService', [function(){
    return {
        removeBirthday: function(birthdayIndex, scope){
            scope.bdays.splice(birthdayIndex);
            scope.$apply();
        }
    };
}]);

When you write your code properly like this, you will make it very easy to write future changes without having to restructure your code. It's organized properly, and you're handling custom click events correctly by binding using custom directives.

For instance, if your client says, "hey, now let's make it call the server and make bread, and then popup a modal." You will be able to easily just go to the service itself without having to add or change any of the HTML, and/or controller method code. If you had just the one line on the controller, you'd eventually need to use a service, for extending the functionality to the heavier lifting the client is asking for.

Also, if you need another 'Delete' button elsewhere, you now have a directive attribute ('ng-remove-birthday') you can easily assign to any element on the page. This now makes it modular and reusable. This will come in handy when dealing with the HEAVY web components paradigm of Angular 2.0. There IS no controller in 2.0. :)

Happy Developing!!!

How to display default text "--Select Team --" in combo box on pageload in WPF?

EDIT: Per comments below, this is not a solution. Not sure how I had it working, and can't check that project.

It's time to update this answer for the latest XAML.

Finding this SO question searching for a solution to this question, I then found that the updated XAML spec has a simple solution.

An attribute called "Placeholder" is now available to accomplish this task. It is as simple as this (in Visual Studio 2015):

<ComboBox x:Name="Selection" PlaceholderText="Select...">
    <x:String>Item 1</x:String>
    <x:String>Item 2</x:String>
    <x:String>Item 3</x:String>
</ComboBox>

How to get the file name from a full path using JavaScript?

Not more concise than nickf's answer, but this one directly "extracts" the answer instead of replacing unwanted parts with an empty string:

var filename = /([^\\]+)$/.exec(fullPath)[1];

What is Python Whitespace and how does it work?

Whitespace just means characters which are used for spacing, and have an "empty" representation. In the context of python, it means tabs and spaces (it probably also includes exotic unicode spaces, but don't use them). The definitive reference is here: http://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#indentation

I'm not sure exactly how to use it.

Put it at the front of the line you want to indent. If you mix spaces and tabs, you'll likely see funky results, so stick with one or the other. (The python community usually follows PEP8 style, which prescribes indentation of four spaces).

You need to create a new indent level after each colon:

for x in range(0, 50):
    print x
    print 2*x

print x

In this code, the first two print statements are "inside" the body of the for statement because they are indented more than the line containing the for. The third print is outside because it is indented less than the previous (nonblank) line.

If you don't indent/unindent consistently, you will get indentation errors. In addition, all compound statements (i.e. those with a colon) can have the body supplied on the same line, so no indentation is required, but the body must be composed of a single statement.

Finally, certain statements, like lambda feature a colon, but cannot have a multiline block as the body.

Intersect Two Lists in C#

You need to first transform data1, in your case by calling ToString() on each element.

Use this if you want to return strings.

List<int> data1 = new List<int> {1,2,3,4,5};
List<string> data2 = new List<string>{"6","3"};

var newData = data1.Select(i => i.ToString()).Intersect(data2);

Use this if you want to return integers.

List<int> data1 = new List<int> {1,2,3,4,5};
List<string> data2 = new List<string>{"6","3"};

var newData = data1.Intersect(data2.Select(s => int.Parse(s));

Note that this will throw an exception if not all strings are numbers. So you could do the following first to check:

int temp;
if(data2.All(s => int.TryParse(s, out temp)))
{
    // All data2 strings are int's
}

FromBody string parameter is giving null

Finally got it working after 1 hour struggle.

This will remove null issue, also gets the JSON key1's value of value1, in a generic way (no model binding), .

For a new WebApi 2 application example:

Postman (looks exactly, like below):

POST    http://localhost:61402/api/values   [Send]
Body
     (*) raw             JSON (application/json) v
         "{  \"key1\": \"value1\" }"

The port 61402 or url /api/values above, may be different for you.

ValuesController.cs

using Newtonsoft.Json;
// ..

// POST api/values
[HttpPost]
public object Post([FromBody]string jsonString)
{
    // add reference to Newtonsoft.Json
    //  using Newtonsoft.Json;

    // jsonString to myJsonObj
    var myJsonObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, dynamic>>(jsonString);

    // value1 is myJsonObj[key1]
    var valueOfkey1 = myJsonObj["key1"];

    return myJsonObj;
}

All good for now, not sure if model binding to a class is required if I have sub keys, or, may be DeserializeObject on sub key will work.

Expanding a parent <div> to the height of its children

As Jens said in comment

An alternative answer is How to make div not larger than its contents?… and it proposes to set display:inline-block. Which worked great for me. – Jens Jun 2 at 5:41

This works far better for me in all browsers.

Reading from file using read() function

I am reading some data from a file using read. Here I am reading data in a 2d char pointer but the method is the same for the 1d also. Just read character by character and do not worry about the exceptions because the condition in the while loop is handling the exceptions :D

  while ( (n = read(fd, buffer,1)) > 0 )
{   

if(buffer[0] == '\n')
{
  r++;
  char**tempData=(char**)malloc(sizeof(char*)*r);

  for(int a=0;a<r;a++)
  {
    tempData[a]=(char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*BUF_SIZE);
    memset(tempData[a],0,BUF_SIZE);
  }

  for(int a=0;a<r-1;a++)
  {
    strcpy(tempData[a],data[a]);
  }

   data=tempData;

   c=0;
}

else
{
  data[r-1][c]=buffer[0];
  c++;
  buffer[1]='\0';
}

   }

DB2 Timestamp select statement

You might want to use TRUNC function on your column when comparing with string format, so it compares only till seconds, not milliseconds.

SELECT * FROM <table_name> WHERE id = 1 
AND TRUNC(usagetime, 'SS') = '2012-09-03 08:03:06';

If you wanted to truncate upto minutes, hours, etc. that is also possible, just use appropriate notation instead of 'SS':

hour ('HH'), minute('MI'), year('YEAR' or 'YYYY'), month('MONTH' or 'MM'), Day ('DD')

Finding the index of elements based on a condition using python list comprehension

Maybe another question is, "what are you going to do with those indices once you get them?" If you are going to use them to create another list, then in Python, they are an unnecessary middle step. If you want all the values that match a given condition, just use the builtin filter:

matchingVals = filter(lambda x : x>2, a)

Or write your own list comprhension:

matchingVals = [x for x in a if x > 2]

If you want to remove them from the list, then the Pythonic way is not to necessarily remove from the list, but write a list comprehension as if you were creating a new list, and assigning back in-place using the listvar[:] on the left-hand-side:

a[:] = [x for x in a if x <= 2]

Matlab supplies find because its array-centric model works by selecting items using their array indices. You can do this in Python, certainly, but the more Pythonic way is using iterators and generators, as already mentioned by @EliBendersky.

How to delete multiple values from a vector?

UPDATE:

All of the above answers won't work for the repeated values, @BenBolker's answer using duplicated() predicate solves this:

full_vector[!full_vector %in% searched_vector | duplicated(full_vector)]

Original Answer: here I write a little function for this:

exclude_val<-function(full_vector,searched_vector){

      found=c()

      for(i in full_vector){  

        if(any(is.element(searched_vector,i))){
          searched_vector[(which(searched_vector==i))[1]]=NA
        }
        else{
          found=c(found,i)
        }
    }

    return(found)
}

so, let's say full_vector=c(1,2,3,4,1) and searched_vector=c(1,2,3).

exclude_val(full_vector,searched_vector) will return (4,1), however above answers will return just (4).

How to get enum value by string or int

Simply try this

It's another way

public enum CaseOriginCode
{
    Web = 0,
    Email = 1,
    Telefoon = 2
}

public void setCaseOriginCode(string CaseOriginCode)
{
    int caseOriginCode = (int)(CaseOriginCode)Enum.Parse(typeof(CaseOriginCode), CaseOriginCode);
}

What is apache's maximum url length?

The official length according to the offical Apache docs is 8,192, but many folks have run into trouble at ~4,000.

MS Internet Explorer is usually the limiting factor anyway, as it caps the maximum URL size at 2,048.

How can I run MongoDB as a Windows service?

These are the steps to install MongoDB as Windows Service :

  1. Create a log directory, e.g. C:\MongoDB\log

  2. Create a db directory, e.g. C:\MongoDB\db

  3. Prepare a configuration file with following lines

    dbpath=C:\MongoDB\db

    logpath=C:\MongoDB\log

    Place the configuration file with name mongod.cfg in folder "C:\MongoDB\"

  4. Following command will install the Windows Service on your sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\MongoDB\mongod.cfg\" DisplayName= "MongoDB 3.4" start= "auto"

  5. Once you run this command, you will get the [SC] CreateService SUCCESS

  6. Run following command on Command Prompt

    net start MongoDB

PreparedStatement setNull(..)

You could also consider using preparedStatement.setObject(index,value,type);

Limit Get-ChildItem recursion depth

This is a function that outputs one line per item, with indentation according to depth level. It is probably much more readable.

function GetDirs($path = $pwd, [Byte]$ToDepth = 255, [Byte]$CurrentDepth = 0)
{
    $CurrentDepth++
    If ($CurrentDepth -le $ToDepth) {
        foreach ($item in Get-ChildItem $path)
        {
            if (Test-Path $item.FullName -PathType Container)
            {
                "." * $CurrentDepth + $item.FullName
                GetDirs $item.FullName -ToDepth $ToDepth -CurrentDepth $CurrentDepth
            }
        }
    }
}

It is based on a blog post, Practical PowerShell: Pruning File Trees and Extending Cmdlets.

How to add parameters into a WebRequest?

The code below differs from all other code because at the end it prints the response string in the console that the request returns. I learned in previous posts that the user doesn't get the response Stream and displays it.

//Visual Basic Implementation Request and Response String
  Dim params = "key1=value1&key2=value2"
    Dim byteArray = UTF8.GetBytes(params)
    Dim url = "https://okay.com"
    Dim client = WebRequest.Create(url)
    client.Method = "POST"
    client.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    client.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
    Dim stream = client.GetRequestStream()

    //sending the data
    stream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
    stream.Close()

//getting the full response in a stream        
Dim response = client.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()

//reading the response 
Dim result = New StreamReader(response)

//Writes response string to Console
    Console.WriteLine(result.ReadToEnd())
    Console.ReadKey()

WAMPServer 3 comes with a Virtual Host pre defined for localhost

Excel VBA Code: Compile Error in x64 Version ('PtrSafe' attribute required)

I'm quite sure you won't get this 32Bit DLL working in Office 64Bit. The DLL needs to be updated by the author to be compatible with 64Bit versions of Office.

The code changes you have found and supplied in the question are used to convert calls to APIs that have already been rewritten for Office 64Bit. (Most Windows APIs have been updated.)

From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx:

"ActiveX controls and add-in (COM) DLLs (dynamic link libraries) that were written for 32-bit Office will not work in a 64-bit process."

Edit: Further to your comment, I've tried the 64Bit DLL version on Win 8 64Bit with Office 2010 64Bit. Since you are using User Defined Functions called from the Excel worksheet you are not able to see the error thrown by Excel and just end up with the #VALUE returned.

If we create a custom procedure within VBA and try one of the DLL functions we see the exact error thrown. I tried a simple function of swe_day_of_week which just has a time as an input and I get the error Run-time error '48' File not found: swedll32.dll.

Now I have the 64Bit DLL you supplied in the correct locations so it should be found which suggests it has dependencies which cannot be located as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/8607250/1733206

I've got all the .NET frameworks installed which would be my first guess, so without further information from the author it might be difficult to find the problem.

Edit2: And after a bit more investigating it appears the 64Bit version you have supplied is actually a 32Bit version. Hence the error message on the 64Bit Office. You can check this by trying to access the '64Bit' version in Office 32Bit.

Can I set max_retries for requests.request?

It is the underlying urllib3 library that does the retrying. To set a different maximum retry count, use alternative transport adapters:

from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter

s = requests.Session()
s.mount('http://stackoverflow.com', HTTPAdapter(max_retries=5))

The max_retries argument takes an integer or a Retry() object; the latter gives you fine-grained control over what kinds of failures are retried (an integer value is turned into a Retry() instance which only handles connection failures; errors after a connection is made are by default not handled as these could lead to side-effects).


Old answer, predating the release of requests 1.2.1:

The requests library doesn't really make this configurable, nor does it intend to (see this pull request). Currently (requests 1.1), the retries count is set to 0. If you really want to set it to a higher value, you'll have to set this globally:

import requests

requests.adapters.DEFAULT_RETRIES = 5

This constant is not documented; use it at your own peril as future releases could change how this is handled.

Update: and this did change; in version 1.2.1 the option to set the max_retries parameter on the HTTPAdapter() class was added, so that now you have to use alternative transport adapters, see above. The monkey-patch approach no longer works, unless you also patch the HTTPAdapter.__init__() defaults (very much not recommended).

res.sendFile absolute path

Just try this instead:

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

This worked for me. the root:__dirname will take the address where server.js is in the above example and then to get to the index1.html ( in this case) the returned path is to get to the directory where public folder is.

What are the rules for casting pointers in C?

char c = '5'

A char (1 byte) is allocated on stack at address 0x12345678.

char *d = &c;

You obtain the address of c and store it in d, so d = 0x12345678.

int *e = (int*)d;

You force the compiler to assume that 0x12345678 points to an int, but an int is not just one byte (sizeof(char) != sizeof(int)). It may be 4 or 8 bytes according to the architecture or even other values.

So when you print the value of the pointer, the integer is considered by taking the first byte (that was c) and other consecutive bytes which are on stack and that are just garbage for your intent.

Adding line break in C# Code behind page

Strings are immutable, so using

public string GenerateString()
{
    return
        "abc" +
        "def";
}

will slow you performance - each of those values is a string literal which must be concatenated at runtime - bad news if you reuse the method/property/whatever alot...

Store your string literals in resources is a good idea...

public string GenerateString()
{
    return Resources.MyString;
}

That way it is localisable and the code is tidy (although performance is pretty terrible).

ADB not responding. You can wait more,or kill "adb.exe" process manually and click 'Restart'

Faced this issue on Mac:

I have tried different solution, But below works for me -

  1. Uninstall "Vysor" plugin if you have installed for Chrome
  2. Under Home folder > find .Android folder and move to trash
  3. Goto, Android sdk > delete/move to trash platform-tools folder
  4. Again install/download from Android SDK Manager
  5. Open terminal -
    • adb kill-server
    • adb start-server
  6. Check adb devices, It will work and display you all connected devices.

Hope it helps !

How to construct a REST API that takes an array of id's for the resources

If you are passing all your parameters on the URL, then probably comma separated values would be the best choice. Then you would have an URL template like the following:

api.com/users?id=id1,id2,id3,id4,id5

Oracle : how to subtract two dates and get minutes of the result

I think you can adapt the function to substract the two timestamps:

return  EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM 
  TO_TIMESTAMP(to_char(p_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
-
  TO_TIMESTAMP(to_char(p_date2,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
);

I think you could simplify it by just using CAST(p_date as TIMESTAMP).

return  EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM cast(p_date1 as TIMESTAMP) - cast(p_date2 as TIMESTAMP));

Remember dates and timestamps are big ugly numbers inside Oracle, not what we see in the screen; we don't need to tell him how to read them. Also remember timestamps can have a timezone defined; not in this case.

Good Linux (Ubuntu) SVN client

IMHO there is one great svn gui client, SmartSVN. It is commercial project, but there is foundation version (100% functional) witch can be used free of charge, even for commercial purposes. It is written in java, so it is multi-platform (it requires sun-java* package) http://smartsvn.com

Change the content of a div based on selection from dropdown menu

Type obj = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().SelectMany(t => t.GetTypes()).Where(t => String.Equals(t.Name, _viewModelName, StringComparison.Ordinal)).First();

The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64k API 17

For me Upgrading Gradle works.Look for update at Android Website then add it in your build.gradle (Project) like this

 dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha4'   
          ....
    }

then sync project with gradle file plus it might be happened sometimes because of java.exe (in my case) just force kill java.exe from task manager in windows then re run program

How to implement a Map with multiple keys?

It would seem to me that the methods you want in your question are supported directly by Map. The one(s) you'd seem to want are

put(K1 key, K2 key, V value)
put(K1 key, V value)
put(K2 key, V value)

Note that in map, get() and containsKey() etc all take Object arguments. There's nothing stopping you from using the one get() method to delegate to all the composite maps that you combine (as noted in your question and other answers). Perhaps you'd need type registration so you don't get class casting problems (if they're special + implemented naively.

A typed based registration would also allow you to retrieve the "correct" map to be used:

Map<T,V> getMapForKey(Class<T> keyClass){
  //Completely naive implementation - you actually need to 
  //iterate through the keys of the maps, and see if the keyClass argument
  //is a sub-class of the defined map type.  And then ordering matters with 
  //classes that implement multiple interfaces...
  Map<T,V> specificTypeMap = (Map<T,V) maps.get(keyClass);
  if (specificTypeMap == null){
     throw new IllegalArgumentException("There is no map keyed by class" + keyClass);
  }
  return maps.get(keyClass);
}

V put(Object key, V value) {
  //This bit requires generic suppression magic - but 
  //nothing leaves this class and you're testing it right? 
  //(You can assert that it *is* type-safe)
  Map map = getMapForKey(key.getClass());
  map.put(object, key);
}

void put(Object[] keys, V value) { //Or put(V value, Object ... keys)
   //Might want to catch exceptions for unsupported keys and log instead?
   .....
}

Just some ideas...

Using Rsync include and exclude options to include directory and file by pattern

Here's my "teach a person to fish" answer:

Rsync's syntax is definitely non-intuitive, but it is worth understanding.

  1. First, use -vvv to see the debug info for rsync.
$ rsync -nr -vvv --include="**/file_11*.jpg" --exclude="*" /Storage/uploads/ /website/uploads/

[sender] hiding directory 1280000000 because of pattern *
[sender] hiding directory 1260000000 because of pattern *
[sender] hiding directory 1270000000 because of pattern *

The key concept here is that rsync applies the include/exclude patterns for each directory recursively. As soon as the first include/exclude is matched, the processing stops.

The first directory it evaluates is /Storage/uploads. Storage/uploads has 1280000000/, 1260000000/, 1270000000/ dirs/files. None of them match file_11*.jpg to include. All of them match * to exclude. So they are excluded, and rsync ends.

  1. The solution is to include all dirs (*/) first. Then the first dir component will be 1260000000/, 1270000000/, 1280000000/ since they match */. The next dir component will be 1260000000/. In 1260000000/, file_11_00.jpg matches --include="file_11*.jpg", so it is included. And so forth.
$ rsync -nrv --include='*/' --include="file_11*.jpg" --exclude="*" /Storage/uploads/ /website/uploads/

./
1260000000/
1260000000/file_11_00.jpg

Looping Over Result Sets in MySQL

Something like this should do the trick (However, read after the snippet for more info)

CREATE PROCEDURE GetFilteredData()
BEGIN
  DECLARE bDone INT;

  DECLARE var1 CHAR(16);    -- or approriate type
  DECLARE Var2 INT;
  DECLARE Var3 VARCHAR(50);

  DECLARE curs CURSOR FOR  SELECT something FROM somewhere WHERE some stuff;
  DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET bDone = 1;

  DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS tblResults;
  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tblResults  (
    --Fld1 type,
    --Fld2 type,
    --...
  );

  OPEN curs;

  SET bDone = 0;
  REPEAT
    FETCH curs INTO var1,, b;

    IF whatever_filtering_desired
       -- here for whatever_transformation_may_be_desired
       INSERT INTO tblResults VALUES (var1, var2, var3 ...);
    END IF;
  UNTIL bDone END REPEAT;

  CLOSE curs;
  SELECT * FROM tblResults;
END

A few things to consider...

Concerning the snippet above:

  • may want to pass part of the query to the Stored Procedure, maybe particularly the search criteria, to make it more generic.
  • If this method is to be called by multiple sessions etc. may want to pass a Session ID of sort to create a unique temporary table name (actually unnecessary concern since different sessions do not share the same temporary file namespace; see comment by Gruber, below)
  • A few parts such as the variable declarations, the SELECT query etc. need to be properly specified

More generally: trying to avoid needing a cursor.

I purposely named the cursor variable curs[e], because cursors are a mixed blessing. They can help us implement complicated business rules that may be difficult to express in the declarative form of SQL, but it then brings us to use the procedural (imperative) form of SQL, which is a general feature of SQL which is neither very friendly/expressive, programming-wise, and often less efficient performance-wise.

Maybe you can look into expressing the transformation and filtering desired in the context of a "plain" (declarative) SQL query.

How do I align views at the bottom of the screen?

In case you have a hierarchy like this:

<ScrollView> 
  |-- <RelativeLayout> 
    |-- <LinearLayout>

First, apply android:fillViewport="true" to the ScrollView and then apply android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" to the LinearLayout.

This worked for me perfectly.

<ScrollView
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none"
    android:fillViewport="true">
    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:id="@+id/linearLayoutHorizontal"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

How to play YouTube video in my Android application?

This is the btn click event

btnvideo.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {

    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxy8BZGQ5Jo")));
    Log.i("Video", "Video Playing....");

    }
}); 

this type it opened in another page with the youtube where u can show your video

How to use cURL to send Cookies?

I'm using Debian, and I was unable to use tilde for the path. Originally I was using

curl -c "~/cookie" http://localhost:5000/login -d username=myname password=mypassword

I had to change this to:

curl -c "/tmp/cookie" http://localhost:5000/login -d username=myname password=mypassword

-c creates the cookie, -b uses the cookie

so then I'd use for instance:

curl -b "/tmp/cookie" http://localhost:5000/getData

Spring boot - configure EntityManager

With Spring Boot its not necessary to have any config file like persistence.xml. You can configure with annotations Just configure your DB config for JPA in the

application.properties

spring.datasource.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@DB...
spring.datasource.username=username
spring.datasource.password=pass

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect....
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

Then you can use CrudRepository provided by Spring where you have standard CRUD transaction methods. There you can also implement your own SQL's like JPQL.

@Transactional
public interface ObjectRepository extends CrudRepository<Object, Long> {
...
}

And if you still need to use the Entity Manager you can create another class.

public class ObjectRepositoryImpl implements ObjectCustomMethods{

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;

}

This should be in your pom.xml

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5.RELEASE</version>

How to do "If Clicked Else .."

The way to do it would be with a boolean at a higher scope:

var hasBeenClicked = false;
jQuery('#id').click(function () {
    hasBeenClicked = true;
});

if (hasBeenClicked) {
    // The link has been clicked.
} else {
    // The link has not been clicked.
}

How does internationalization work in JavaScript?

Some of it is native, the rest is available through libraries.

For example Datejs is a good international date library.

For the rest, it's just about language translation, and JavaScript is natively Unicode compatible (as well as all major browsers).

How can I specify working directory for popen

subprocess.Popen takes a cwd argument to set the Current Working Directory; you'll also want to escape your backslashes ('d:\\test\\local'), or use r'd:\test\local' so that the backslashes aren't interpreted as escape sequences by Python. The way you have it written, the \t part will be translated to a tab.

So, your new line should look like:

subprocess.Popen(r'c:\mytool\tool.exe', cwd=r'd:\test\local')

To use your Python script path as cwd, import os and define cwd using this:

os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) 

How to redirect DNS to different ports

Possible solutions:

  1. Use nginx on the server as a proxy that will listen to port A and multiplex to port B or C.

  2. If you use AWS you can use the load balancer to redirect the request to specific port based on the host.

How can I use Oracle SQL developer to run stored procedures?

I am not sure how to see the actual rows/records that come back.

Stored procedures do not return records. They may have a cursor as an output parameter, which is a pointer to a select statement. But it requires additional action to actually bring back rows from that cursor.

In SQL Developer, you can execute a procedure that returns a ref cursor as follows

var rc refcursor
exec proc_name(:rc)

After that, if you execute the following, it will show the results from the cursor:

print rc

How to tell if a JavaScript function is defined

Try this:

Modal width (increase)

If you use Sass,

according to the documentation you can customize your default values.

In your case, you can easily override the variable named $modal-lg in your _custom.scss file.

How to make an Asynchronous Method return a value?

Perhaps you can try to BeginInvoke a delegate pointing to your method like so:



    delegate string SynchOperation(string value);

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BeginTheSynchronousOperation(CallbackOperation, "my value");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        static void BeginTheSynchronousOperation(AsyncCallback callback, string value)
        {
            SynchOperation op = new SynchOperation(SynchronousOperation);
            op.BeginInvoke(value, callback, op);
        }

        static string SynchronousOperation(string value)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(10000);
            return value;
        }

        static void CallbackOperation(IAsyncResult result)
        {
            // get your delegate
            var ar = result.AsyncState as SynchOperation;
            // end invoke and get value
            var returned = ar.EndInvoke(result);

            Console.WriteLine(returned);
        }
    }

Then use the value in the method you sent as AsyncCallback to continue..

Numpy: Checking if a value is NaT

Very simple and surprisingly fast: (without numpy or pandas)

    str( myDate ) == 'NaT'            # True if myDate is NaT

Ok, it's a little nasty, but given the ambiguity surrounding 'NaT' it does the job nicely.

It's also useful when comparing two dates either of which might be NaT as follows:

   str( date1 ) == str( date1 )       # True
   str( date1 ) == str( NaT )         # False
   str( NaT )   == str( date1 )       # False

wait for it...

   str( NaT )   == str( Nat )         # True    (hooray!)

How can I check if string contains characters & whitespace, not just whitespace?

This can be fast solution

return input < "\u0020" + 1;

How to obtain the start time and end time of a day?

Additional way of finding start of day with java8 java.time.ZonedDateTime instead of going through LocalDateTime is simply truncating the input ZonedDateTime to DAYS:

zonedDateTimeInstance.truncatedTo( ChronoUnit.DAYS );

Create a folder and sub folder in Excel VBA

Function MkDir(ByVal strDir As String)
    Dim fso: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If Not fso.FolderExists(strDir) Then
        ' create parent folder if not exist (recursive)
        MkDir (fso.GetParentFolderName(strDir))
        ' doesn't exist, so create the folder
        fso.CreateFolder strDir
    End If
End Function

How to rotate a 3D object on axis three.js?

I solved in this way:

I created the 'ObjectControls' module for ThreeJS that allows you to rotate a single OBJECT (or a Group), and not the SCENE.

Include the libary:

<script src="ObjectControls.js"></script>

Usage:

var controls = new ObjectControls(camera, renderer.domElement, yourMesh);

You can find here a live demo here: https://albertopiras.github.io/threeJS-object-controls/

Here is the repo: https://github.com/albertopiras/threeJS-object-controls.

How to disable the ability to select in a DataGridView?

This worked for me like a charm:

row.DataGridView.Enabled = false;

row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightGray;

row.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.DarkGray;

(where row = DataGridView.NewRow(appropriate overloads);)

Rename multiple files in cmd

Try this Bulk Rename Utility It works well. Maybe not reinvent the wheel. If you don't necessary need a script this is a good way to go.

What process is listening on a certain port on Solaris?

I think the first answer is the best I wrote my own shell script developing this idea :

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
    echo "Sintaxis:\n\t"
    echo " $0 {port to search in process }"
    exit
else
    MYPORT=$1
    for i in `ls /proc`
    do

       pfiles $i | grep port | grep "port: $MYPORT" > /dev/null
       if [ $? -eq 0 ]
         then
           echo " Port $MYPORT founded in $i proccess !!!\n\n"
           echo "Details\n\t"
           pfiles $i | grep port | grep "port: $MYPORT"
           echo "\n\t"
           echo "Process detail: \n\t"
           ps -ef | grep $i  | grep -v grep
       fi
    done
fi

How can I convert JSON to a HashMap using Gson?

I had the exact same question and ended up here. I had a different approach that seems much simpler (maybe newer versions of gson?).

    Gson gson = new Gson();
    Map jsonObject = (Map) gson.fromJson(data, Object.class);

with the following json

{
  "map-00": {
    "array-00": [
      "entry-00",
      "entry-01"
     ],
     "value": "entry-02"
   }
}

The following

    Map map00 = (Map) jsonObject.get("map-00");
    List array00 = (List) map00.get("array-00");
    String value = (String) map00.get("value");
    for (int i = 0; i < array00.size(); i++) {
        System.out.println("map-00.array-00[" + i + "]= " + array00.get(i));
    }
    System.out.println("map-00.value = " + value);

outputs

map-00.array-00[0]= entry-00
map-00.array-00[1]= entry-01
map-00.value = entry-02

You could dynamically check using instanceof when navigating your jsonObject. Something like

Map json = gson.fromJson(data, Object.class);
if(json.get("field") instanceof Map) {
  Map field = (Map)json.get("field");
} else if (json.get("field") instanceof List) {
  List field = (List)json.get("field");
} ...

It works for me, so it must work for you ;-)

How to use registerReceiver method?

Broadcast receivers receive events of a certain type. I don't think you can invoke them by class name.

First, your IntentFilter must contain an event.

static final String SOME_ACTION = "com.yourcompany.yourapp.SOME_ACTION";
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(SOME_ACTION);

Second, when you send a broadcast, use this same action:

Intent i = new Intent(SOME_ACTION);
sendBroadcast(i);

Third, do you really need MyIntentService to be inline? Static? [EDIT] I discovered that MyIntentSerivce MUST be static if it is inline.

Fourth, is your service declared in the AndroidManifest.xml?

Why doesn't adding CORS headers to an OPTIONS route allow browsers to access my API?

In typescript, if you want to use the node.js package cors

/**
* app.ts
* If you use the cors library
*/

import * as express from "express";
[...]
import * as cors from 'cors';

class App {
   public express: express.Application;

   constructor() {
       this.express = express();
       [..]
       this.handleCORSErrors();
   }

   private handleCORSErrors(): any {
       const corsOptions: cors.CorsOptions = {
           origin: 'http://example.com',
           optionsSuccessStatus: 200
       };
       this.express.use(cors(corsOptions));
   }
}

export default new App().express;

If you don't want to use third part libraries for cors error handling, you need to change the handleCORSErrors() method.

/**
* app.ts
* If you do not use the cors library
*/

import * as express from "express";
[...]

class App {
   public express: express.Application;

   constructor() {
       this.express = express();
       [..]
       this.handleCORSErrors();
   }

   private handleCORSErrors(): any {
       this.express.use((req, res, next) => {
           res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
           res.header(
               "Access-Control-ALlow-Headers",
               "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization"
           );
           if (req.method === "OPTIONS") {
               res.header(
                   "Access-Control-Allow-Methods",
                   "PUT, POST, PATCH, GET, DELETE"
               );
               return res.status(200).json({});
           } 
           next(); // send the request to the next middleware
       });
    }
}

export default new App().express;

For using the app.ts file

/**
* server.ts
*/
import * as http from "http";
import app from "./app";

const server: http.Server = http.createServer(app);

const PORT: any = process.env.PORT || 3000;

2) you have to upload an image/icon on your project which you want to see as a launcher icon. (i have created a folder name:image in my project then upload the logo.png in the image folder). Now you have to add the below codes and paste your image path on image_path: in pubspec.yaml page.

flutter_icons:
  image_path: "images/logo.png"
  android: true
  ios: true

3) Go to terminal and execute this command:

flutter pub get

4) After executing the command then enter below command:

flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main

5) Done

N.B: (of course add an updated dependency from

https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_launcher_icons#-installing-tab-

)

Get absolute path to workspace directory in Jenkins Pipeline plugin

Note: this solution works only if the slaves have the same directory structure as the master. pwd() will return the workspace directory on the master due to JENKINS-33511.

I used to do it using pwd() functionality of pipeline plugin. So, if you need to get a workspace on slave, you may do smth like this:

node('label'){
    //now you are on slave labeled with 'label'
    def workspace = pwd()
    //${workspace} will now contain an absolute path to job workspace on slave 
}

How to include libraries in Visual Studio 2012?

Typically you need to do 5 things to include a library in your project:

1) Add #include statements necessary files with declarations/interfaces, e.g.:

#include "library.h"

2) Add an include directory for the compiler to look into

-> Configuration Properties/VC++ Directories/Include Directories (click and edit, add a new entry)

3) Add a library directory for *.lib files:

-> project(on top bar)/properties/Configuration Properties/VC++ Directories/Library Directories (click and edit, add a new entry)

4) Link the lib's *.lib files

-> Configuration Properties/Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies (e.g.: library.lib;

5) Place *.dll files either:

-> in the directory you'll be opening your final executable from or into Windows/system32

Disable Logback in SpringBoot

In my case, it was only required to exclude the spring-boot-starter-logging artifact from the spring-boot-starter-security one.

This is in a newly generated spring boot 2.2.6.RELEASE project including the following dependencies:

  • spring-boot-starter-security
  • spring-boot-starter-validation
  • spring-boot-starter-web
  • spring-boot-starter-test

I found out by running mvn dependency:tree and looking for ch.qos.logback.

The spring boot related <dependencies> in my pom.xml looks like this:

Microsoft Excel ActiveX Controls Disabled?

From other forums, I have learned that it is due to the MS Update and that a good fix is to simply delete the file MSForms.exd from any Temp subfolder in the user's profile. For instance:

C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0\MSForms.exd

C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE\MSForms.exd

C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Word8.0\MSForms.exd

Of course the application (Excel, Word...) must be closed in order to delete this file.

CSS /JS to prevent dragging of ghost image?

The be-all-end-all, for no selecting or dragging, with all browser prefixes:

-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-o-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;

-webkit-user-drag: none;
-khtml-user-drag: none;
-moz-user-drag: none;
-o-user-drag: none;
-ms-user-drag: none;
user-drag: none;

You can also set the draggable attribute to false. You can do this with inline HTML: draggable="false", with Javascript: elm.draggable = false, or with jQuery: elm.attr('draggable', false).

You can also handle the onmousedown function to return false. You can do this with inline HTML: onmousedown="return false", with Javascript: elm.onmousedown=()=>return false;, or with jQuery: elm.mousedown(()=>return false)

Why shouldn't I use PyPy over CPython if PyPy is 6.3 times faster?

That site does not claim PyPy is 6.3 times faster than CPython. To quote:

The geometric average of all benchmarks is 0.16 or 6.3 times faster than CPython

This is a very different statement to the blanket statement you made, and when you understand the difference, you'll understand at least one set of reasons why you can't just say "use PyPy". It might sound like I'm nit-picking, but understanding why these two statements are totally different is vital.

To break that down:

  • The statement they make only applies to the benchmarks they've used. It says absolutely nothing about your program (unless your program is exactly the same as one of their benchmarks).

  • The statement is about an average of a group of benchmarks. There is no claim that running PyPy will give a 6.3 times improvement even for the programs they have tested.

  • There is no claim that PyPy will even run all the programs that CPython runs at all, let alone faster.

MVC Razor view nested foreach's model

You can simply use EditorTemplates to do that, you need to create a directory named "EditorTemplates" in your controller's view folder and place a seperate view for each of your nested entities (named as entity class name)

Main view :

@model ViewModels.MyViewModels.Theme

@Html.LabelFor(Model.Theme.name)
@Html.EditorFor(Model.Theme.Categories)

Category view (/MyController/EditorTemplates/Category.cshtml) :

@model ViewModels.MyViewModels.Category

@Html.LabelFor(Model.Name)
@Html.EditorFor(Model.Products)

Product view (/MyController/EditorTemplates/Product.cshtml) :

@model ViewModels.MyViewModels.Product

@Html.LabelFor(Model.Name)
@Html.EditorFor(Model.Orders)

and so on

this way Html.EditorFor helper will generate element's names in an ordered manner and therefore you won't have any further problem for retrieving the posted Theme entity as a whole

How do I convert a datetime to date?

import time
import datetime

# use mktime to step by one day
# end - the last day, numdays - count of days to step back
def gen_dates_list(end, numdays):
  start = end - datetime.timedelta(days=numdays+1)
  end   = int(time.mktime(end.timetuple()))
  start = int(time.mktime(start.timetuple()))
  # 86400 s = 1 day
  return xrange(start, end, 86400)

# if you need reverse the list of dates
for dt in reversed(gen_dates_list(datetime.datetime.today(), 100)):
    print datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(dt).date()

Make function wait until element exists

You can check if the dom already exists by setting a timeout until it is already rendered in the dom.

var panelMainWrapper = document.getElementById('panelMainWrapper');
setTimeout(function waitPanelMainWrapper() {
    if (document.body.contains(panelMainWrapper)) {
        $("#panelMainWrapper").html(data).fadeIn("fast");
    } else {
        setTimeout(waitPanelMainWrapper, 10);
    }
}, 10);

Remove pandas rows with duplicate indices

This adds the index as a dataframe column, drops duplicates on that, then removes the new column:

df = df.reset_index().drop_duplicates(subset='index', keep='last').set_index('index').sort_index()

Note that the use of .sort_index() above at the end is as needed and is optional.

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

I agree with using events for this. Since I suspect that you're building an MDI-application (since you create many child forms) and creates windows dynamically and might not know when to unsubscribe from events, I would recommend that you take a look at Weak Event Patterns. Alas, this is only available for framework 3.0 and 3.5 but something similar can be implemented fairly easy with weak references.

However, if you want to find a control in a form based on the form's reference, it's not enough to simply look at the form's control collection. Since every control have it's own control collection, you will have to recurse through them all to find a specific control. You can do this with these two methods (which can be improved).

public static Control FindControl(Form form, string name)
{
    foreach (Control control in form.Controls)
    {
        Control result = FindControl(form, control, name);

        if (result != null)
            return result;
    }

    return null;
}

private static Control FindControl(Form form, Control control, string name)
{
    if (control.Name == name) {
        return control;
    }

    foreach (Control subControl in control.Controls)
    {
        Control result = FindControl(form, subControl, name);

        if (result != null)
            return result;
    }

    return null;
}

Alter a SQL server function to accept new optional parameter

I have found the EXECUTE command as suggested here T-SQL - function with default parameters to work well. With this approach there is no 'DEFAULT' needed when calling the function, you just omit the parameter as you would with a stored procedure.

Loading PictureBox Image from resource file with path (Part 3)

It depends on your file path. For me, the current directory was [project]\bin\Debug, so I had to move to the parent folder twice.

Image image = Image.FromFile(@"..\..\Pictures\"+text+".png");
this.pictureBox1.Image = image;

To find your current directory, you can make a dummy label called label2 and write this:

this.label2.Text = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

How do I install a Python package with a .whl file?

In-case if you unable to install specific package directly using PIP.

You can download a specific .whl (wheel) package from - https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

CD (Change directory) to that downloaded package and install it manually by -
pip install PACKAGENAME.whl
ex:
pip install ad3-2.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

Python way to clone a git repository

There is GitPython. Haven’t heard of it before and internally, it relies on having the git executables somewhere; additionally, they might have plenty of bugs. But it could be worth a try.

How to clone:

import git
git.Git("/your/directory/to/clone").clone("git://gitorious.org/git-python/mainline.git")

(It’s not nice and I don’t know if it is the supported way to do it, but it worked.)

Facebook API error 191

Something I'd like to add, since this is error 191 first question on google:

When redirecting to facebook instead of your own site for a signed request, you might experience this error if the user has secure browsing on and your app does redirect to facebook without SSL.

How to check if $? is not equal to zero in unix shell scripting?

Put it in a variable first and then try to test it, as shown below

ret=$?
if [ $ret -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "In If"
else
        echo "In Else"
fi

This should help.


Edit: If the above is not working as expected then, there is a possibility that you are not using $? at right place. It must be the very next line after the command of which you need to catch the return status. Even if there is any other single command in between the target and you catching it's return status, you'll be retrieving the returns_status of this intermediate command and not the one you are expecting.

What is the difference between exit(0) and exit(1) in C?

exit in the C language takes an integer representing an exit status.

Exit Success

Typically, an exit status of 0 is considered a success, or an intentional exit caused by the program's successful execution.

Exit Failure

An exit status of 1 is considered a failure, and most commonly means that the program had to exit for some reason, and was not able to successfully complete everything in the normal program flow.

Here's a GNU Resource talking about Exit Status.


As @Als has stated, two constants should be used in place of 0 and 1.

EXIT_SUCCESS is defined by the standard to be zero.

EXIT_FAILURE is not restricted by the standard to be one, but many systems do implement it as one.

Check if property has attribute

This is a pretty old question but I used

My method has this parameter but it could be built:

Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression

Then in the method this:

System.Linq.Expressions.MemberExpression memberExpression 
       = expression.Body as System.Linq.Expressions.MemberExpression;
Boolean hasIdentityAttr = System.Attribute
       .IsDefined(memberExpression.Member, typeof(IsIdentity));

I just discovered why all ASP.Net websites are slow, and I am trying to work out what to do about it

OK, so big Props to Joel Muller for all his input. My ultimate solution was to use the Custom SessionStateModule detailed at the end of this MSDN article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.sessionstate.sessionstateutility.aspx

This was:

  • Very quick to implement (actually seemed easier than going the provider route)
  • Used a lot of the standard ASP.Net session handling out of the box (via the SessionStateUtility class)

This has made a HUGE difference to the feeling of "snapiness" to our application. I still can't believe the custom implementation of ASP.Net Session locks the session for the whole request. This adds such a huge amount of sluggishness to websites. Judging from the amount of online research I had to do (and conversations with several really experienced ASP.Net developers), a lot of people have experienced this issue, but very few people have ever got to the bottom of the cause. Maybe I will write a letter to Scott Gu...

I hope this helps a few people out there!

Decode JSON with unknown structure

The issue I had is that sometimes I will need to get at a value that is deeply nested. Normally you would need to do a type assertion at each level, so I went ahead and just made a method that takes a map[string]interface{} and a string key, and returns the resulting map[string]interface{}.

The issue that cropped up for me was that at some depths you will encounter a Slice instead of Map. So I also added methods to return a Slice from Map, and Map from Slice. I didnt do one for Slice to Slice, but you could easily add that if needed. Here are the methods:

package main
type Slice []interface{}
type Map map[string]interface{}

func (m Map) M(s string) Map {
   return m[s].(map[string]interface{})
}

func (m Map) A(s string) Slice {
   return m[s].([]interface{})
}

func (a Slice) M(n int) Map {
   return a[n].(map[string]interface{})
}

and example code:

package main

import (
   "encoding/json"
   "fmt"
   "log"
   "os"
)

func main() {
   o, e := os.Open("a.json")
   if e != nil {
      log.Fatal(e)
   }
   in_m := Map{}
   json.NewDecoder(o).Decode(&in_m)
   out_m := in_m.
      M("contents").
      M("sectionListRenderer").
      A("contents").
      M(0).
      M("musicShelfRenderer").
      A("contents").
      M(0).
      M("musicResponsiveListItemRenderer").
      M("navigationEndpoint").
      M("browseEndpoint")
   fmt.Println(out_m)
}

Removing duplicate objects with Underscore for Javascript

here's my solution (coffeescript) :

_.mixin
  deepUniq: (coll) ->
    result = []
    remove_first_el_duplicates = (coll2) ->

      rest = _.rest(coll2)
      first = _.first(coll2)
      result.push first
      equalsFirst = (el) -> _.isEqual(el,first)

      newColl = _.reject rest, equalsFirst

      unless _.isEmpty newColl
        remove_first_el_duplicates newColl

    remove_first_el_duplicates(coll)
    result

example:

_.deepUniq([ {a:1,b:12}, [ 2, 1, 2, 1 ], [ 1, 2, 1, 2 ],[ 2, 1, 2, 1 ], {a:1,b:12} ]) 
//=> [ { a: 1, b: 12 }, [ 2, 1, 2, 1 ], [ 1, 2, 1, 2 ] ]

You can use TYPE_ID too

Authenticating against Active Directory with Java on Linux

As ioplex and others have said, there are many options. To authenticate using LDAP (and the Novell LDAP API), I have used something like:


LDAPConnection connection = new LDAPConnection( new LDAPJSSEStartTLSFactory() );
connection.connect(hostname, port);
connection.startTLS();
connection.bind(LDAPConnection.LDAP_V3, username+"@"+domain, password.getBytes());

As a "special feature", Active Directory allows LDAP binds against "user@domain" without using the distinguished name of the account. This code uses StartTLS to enable TLS encryption on the connection; the other alternative is LDAP over SSL, which is not supported by my AD servers.

The real trick is in locating the server and host; the official way is to use a DNS SRV (service) record lookup to locate a bundle of candidate hosts, then do a UDP-based LDAP "ping" (in a particular Microsoft format) to locate the correct server. If you are interested, I've posted some blog articles about my journey of adventure and discovery in that area.

If you want to do Kerberos-based username/password authentication, you are looking at another kettle of fish; it is doable with the Java GSS-API code, although I am not sure it performs the final step to validate the authentication. (The code doing the validation can contact the AD server to check the username and password, which results in a ticket granting ticket for the user, but to ensure the AD server is not being impersonated, it also needs to try to get a ticket for the user to itself, which is somewhat more complicated.)

If you want to do Kerberos-based single sign-on, assuming your users are authenticated to the domain, you can do that as well with the Java GSS-API code. I would post a code sample, but I still need to turn my hideous prototype into something fit for human eyes. Check out some code from SpringSource for some inspiration.

If you are looking for NTLM (which I was given to understand is less secure) or something else, well, good luck.

How to change href of <a> tag on button click through javascript

Exactly what Nick Carver did there but I think it would be best if used the DOM setAttribute method.

<script type="text/javascript">
   document.getElementById("myLink").onclick = function() {
   var link = document.getElementById("abc");
   link.setAttribute("href", "xyz.php");
   return false;
   }
</script>

It's one extra line of code but find it better structure-wise.

href="file://" doesn't work

The reason your URL is being rewritten to file///K:/AmberCRO%20SOP/2011-07-05/SOP-SOP-3.0.pdf is because you specified http://file://

The http:// at the beginning is the protocol being used, and your browser is stripping out the second colon (:) because it is invalid.

Note

If you link to something like

<a href="file:///K:/yourfile.pdf">yourfile.pdf</a>

The above represents a link to a file called k:/yourfile.pdf on the k: drive on the machine on which you are viewing the URL.

You can do this, for example the below creates a link to C:\temp\test.pdf

<a href="file:///C:/Temp/test.pdf">test.pdf</a>

By specifying file:// you are indicating that this is a local resource. This resource is NOT on the internet.

Most people do not have a K:/ drive.

But, if this is what you are trying to achieve, that's fine, but this is not how a "typical" link on a web page works, and you shouldn't being doing this unless everyone who is going to access your link has access to the (same?) K:/drive (this might be the case with a shared network drive).

You could try

<a href="file:///K:/AmberCRO-SOP/2011-07-05/SOP-SOP-3.0.pdf">test.pdf</a>
<a href="AmberCRO-SOP/2011-07-05/SOP-SOP-3.0.pdf">test.pdf</a>
<a href="2011-07-05/SOP-SOP-3.0.pdf">test.pdf</a>

Note that http://file:///K:/AmberCRO%20SOP/2011-07-05/SOP-SOP-3.0.pdf is a malformed

What is the difference between the HashMap and Map objects in Java?

As noted by TJ Crowder and Adamski, one reference is to an interface, the other to a specific implementation of the interface. According to Joshua Block, you should always attempt to code to interfaces, to allow you to better handle changes to underlying implementation - i.e. if HashMap suddenly was not ideal for your solution and you needed to change the map implementation, you could still use the Map interface, and change the instantiation type.

How to change position of Toast in Android?

The method to change the color, position and background color of toast is:

Toast toast=Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"This is advanced toast",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.RIGHT,0,0);
View view=toast.getView();
TextView  view1=(TextView)view.findViewById(android.R.id.message);
view1.setTextColor(Color.YELLOW);
view.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorPrimary);
toast.show();

Is it possible to start activity through adb shell?

I run it like AndroidStudio does:

am start -n "com.example.app.dev/com.example.app.phonebook.PhoneBookActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER

If you have product flavour like dev, it should occur only in application package name but shouldn't occur in activity package name.

For emulator, it works without android:exported="true" flag on activity in AndroidManifest.xml but I found it useful to add it for unrooted physical device to make it work.

What is the difference between __dirname and ./ in node.js?

The gist

In Node.js, __dirname is always the directory in which the currently executing script resides (see this). So if you typed __dirname into /d1/d2/myscript.js, the value would be /d1/d2.

By contrast, . gives you the directory from which you ran the node command in your terminal window (i.e. your working directory) when you use libraries like path and fs. Technically, it starts out as your working directory but can be changed using process.chdir().

The exception is when you use . with require(). The path inside require is always relative to the file containing the call to require.

For example...

Let's say your directory structure is

/dir1
  /dir2
    pathtest.js

and pathtest.js contains

var path = require("path");
console.log(". = %s", path.resolve("."));
console.log("__dirname = %s", path.resolve(__dirname));

and you do

cd /dir1/dir2
node pathtest.js

you get

. = /dir1/dir2
__dirname = /dir1/dir2

Your working directory is /dir1/dir2 so that's what . resolves to. Since pathtest.js is located in /dir1/dir2 that's what __dirname resolves to as well.

However, if you run the script from /dir1

cd /dir1
node dir2/pathtest.js

you get

. = /dir1
__dirname = /dir1/dir2

In that case, your working directory was /dir1 so that's what . resolved to, but __dirname still resolves to /dir1/dir2.

Using . inside require...

If inside dir2/pathtest.js you have a require call into include a file inside dir1 you would always do

require('../thefile')

because the path inside require is always relative to the file in which you are calling it. It has nothing to do with your working directory.

Pandas v0.13+: Use to_csv with date_format parameter

Avoid, where possible, converting your datetime64[ns] series to an object dtype series of datetime.date objects. The latter, often constructed using pd.Series.dt.date, is stored as an array of pointers and is inefficient relative to a pure NumPy-based series.

Since your concern is format when writing to CSV, just use the date_format parameter of to_csv. For example:

df.to_csv(filename, date_format='%Y-%m-%d')

See Python's strftime directives for formatting conventions.

How to tell if a file is git tracked (by shell exit code)?

using git log will give info about this. If the file is tracked in git the command shows some results(logs). Else it is empty.

For example if the file is git tracked,

root@user-ubuntu:~/project-repo-directory# git log src/../somefile.js
commit ad9180b772d5c64dcd79a6cbb9487bd2ef08cbfc
Author: User <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon Feb 20 07:45:04 2017 -0600

    fix eslint indentation errors
....
....

If the file is not git tracked,

root@user-ubuntu:~/project-repo-directory# git log src/../somefile.js
root@user-ubuntu:~/project-repo-directory#

Regex: ignore case sensitivity

As I discovered from this similar post (ignorecase in AWK), on old versions of awk (such as on vanilla Mac OS X), you may need to use 'tolower($0) ~ /pattern/'.

IGNORECASE or (?i) or /pattern/i will either generate an error or return true for every line.

Site does not exist error for a2ensite

In my case with Ubuntu 14.04.3 and Apache 2.4.7, the problem was that I copied site1.conf to make site2.conf available, and by copying, something happend and I could not a2ensite site2.conf with the error described in thread.

The solution for me, was to rename site2.conf to site2 and then again rename site2 to site2.conf. After that I was able to a2ensite site2.conf.

Force sidebar height 100% using CSS (with a sticky bottom image)?

Further to @montrealmike 's answer, can I just add my adaptation?

I did this:

.container { 
  overflow: hidden; 
  .... 
} 

#sidebar { 
  margin-bottom: -101%;
  padding-bottom: 101%; 
  .... 
} 

I did the "101%" thing to cater for the (ultra rare) possibility that somebody may be viewing the site on a huge screen with a height more than 5000px!

Great answer though, montrealmike. It worked perfectly for me.

Import and Export Excel - What is the best library?

SpreadsheetGear for .NET reads and writes CSV / XLS / XLSX and does more.

You can see live ASP.NET samples with C# and VB source code here and download a free trial here.

Of course I think SpreadsheetGear is the best library to import / export Excel workbooks in ASP.NET - but I am biased. You can see what some of our customers say on the right hand side of this page.
