LEFT INNER JOIN vs. LEFT OUTER JOIN - Why does the OUTER take longer?

This is because the LEFT OUTER Join is doing more work than an INNER Join BEFORE sending the results back.

The Inner Join looks for all records where the ON statement is true (So when it creates a new table, it only puts in records that match the m.SubID = a.SubID). Then it compares those results to your WHERE statement (Your last modified time).

The Left Outer Join...Takes all of the records in your first table. If the ON statement is not true (m.SubID does not equal a.SubID), it simply NULLS the values in the second table's column for that recordset.

The reason you get the same number of results at the end is probably coincidence due to the WHERE clause that happens AFTER all of the copying of records.

Smooth scrolling when clicking an anchor link

The new hotness in CSS3. This is a lot easier than every method listed on this page and requires no Javascript. Just enter the below code into you css and all of a sudden links point to locations inside you own page will have a smooth scrolling animation.

html{scroll-behavior:smooth}

After that any links pointed towards a div will smoothly glide over to those sections.

<a href="#section">Section1</a>

Edit: For those confused about the above a tag. Basically it's a link that's clickable. You can then have another div tag somewhere in your web page like 

<div classname="section">content</div>

In this regard the a link will be clickable and will go to whatever #section is, in this case it's our div we called section.

BTW, I spent hours trying to get this to work. Found the solution in some obscure comments section. It was buggy and wouldn't work in some tags. Didn't work in the body. It finally worked when I put it in html{} in the CSS file.

How to get instance variables in Python?

built on dmark's answer to get the following, which is useful if you want the equiv of sprintf and hopefully will help someone...

def sprint(object):
    result = ''
    for i in [v for v in dir(object) if not callable(getattr(object, v)) and v[0] != '_']:
        result += '\n%s:' % i + str(getattr(object, i, ''))
    return result

Read values into a shell variable from a pipe

The first attempt was pretty close. This variation should work:

echo "hello world" | { test=$(< /dev/stdin); echo "test=$test"; };

and the output is:

test=hello world

You need braces after the pipe to enclose the assignment to test and the echo.

Without the braces, the assignment to test (after the pipe) is in one shell, and the echo "test=$test" is in a separate shell which doesn't know about that assignment. That's why you were getting "test=" in the output instead of "test=hello world".

Where does Chrome store cookies?

The answer is due to the fact that Google Chrome uses an SQLite file to save cookies. It resides under:

C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

inside Cookies file. (which is an SQLite database file)

So it's not a file stored on hard drive but a row in an SQLite database file which can be read by a third party program such as: SQLite Database Browser

EDIT: Thanks to @Chexpir, it is also good to know that the values are stored encrypted.

JavaScript: set dropdown selected item based on option text

You can loop through the select_obj.options. There's a #text method in each of the option object, which you can use to compare to what you want and set the selectedIndex of the select_obj.

How to convert list of key-value tuples into dictionary?

Another way using dictionary comprehensions,

>>> t = [('A', 1), ('B', 2), ('C', 3)]
>>> d = { i:j for i,j in t }
>>> d
{'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}

Align vertically using CSS 3

Try this also work perfectly:

html:

   <body>
    <div id="my-div"></div>
   </body>

css:

#my-div {               
    position: absolute;
    height: 100px;
    width: 100px;    
    left: 50%;
    top: 50%;
    background: red;
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle

}

Batch file FOR /f tokens

 
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%f in (myfile) do

This reads a file line-by-line, removing leading spaces (thanks, jeb).

set line=%%f

sets then the line variable to the line just read and

call :procesToken

calls a subroutine that does something with the line

:processToken

is the start of the subroutine mentioned above.

for /f "tokens=1* delims=/" %%a in ("%line%") do

will then split the line at /, but stopping tokenization after the first token.

echo Got one token: %%a

will output that first token and

set line=%%b

will set the line variable to the rest of the line.

if not "%line%" == "" goto :processToken

And if line isn't yet empty (i.e. all tokens processed), it returns to the start, continuing with the rest of the line.

Cocoa: What's the difference between the frame and the bounds?

The bounds of an UIView is the rectangle, expressed as a location (x,y) and size (width,height) relative to its own coordinate system (0,0).

The frame of an UIView is the rectangle, expressed as a location (x,y) and size (width,height) relative to the superview it is contained within.

So, imagine a view that has a size of 100x100 (width x height) positioned at 25,25 (x,y) of its superview. The following code prints out this view's bounds and frame:

// This method is in the view controller of the superview
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSLog(@"bounds.origin.x: %f", label.bounds.origin.x);
    NSLog(@"bounds.origin.y: %f", label.bounds.origin.y);
    NSLog(@"bounds.size.width: %f", label.bounds.size.width);
    NSLog(@"bounds.size.height: %f", label.bounds.size.height);

    NSLog(@"frame.origin.x: %f", label.frame.origin.x);
    NSLog(@"frame.origin.y: %f", label.frame.origin.y);
    NSLog(@"frame.size.width: %f", label.frame.size.width);
    NSLog(@"frame.size.height: %f", label.frame.size.height);
}

And the output of this code is:

bounds.origin.x: 0
bounds.origin.y: 0
bounds.size.width: 100
bounds.size.height: 100

frame.origin.x: 25
frame.origin.y: 25
frame.size.width: 100
frame.size.height: 100

So, we can see that in both cases, the width and the height of the view is the same regardless of whether we are looking at the bounds or frame. What is different is the x,y positioning of the view. In the case of the bounds, the x and y coordinates are at 0,0 as these coordinates are relative to the view itself. However, the frame x and y coordinates are relative to the position of the view within the parent view (which earlier we said was at 25,25).

There is also a great presentation that covers UIViews. See slides 1-20 which not only explain the difference between frames and bounds but also show visual examples.

When saving, how can you check if a field has changed?

The optimal solution is probably one that does not include an additional database read operation prior to saving the model instance, nor any further django-library. This is why laffuste's solutions is preferable. In the context of an admin site, one can simply override the save_model-method, and invoke the form's has_changed method there, just as in Sion's answer above. You arrive at something like this, drawing on Sion's example setting but using changed_data to get every possible change:

class ModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   fields=['name','mode']
   def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
     form.changed_data #output could be ['name']
     #do somethin the changed name value...
     #call the super method
     super(self,ModelAdmin).save_model(request, obj, form, change)
  • Override save_model:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.save_model

  • Built-in changed_data-method for a Field:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/forms/api/#django.forms.Form.changed_data

Git command to display HEAD commit id?

You can use this command

$ git rev-list HEAD

You can also use the head Unix command to show the latest n HEAD commits like

$ git rev-list HEAD | head - 2

Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465, response: -1

What i did was i commented out the 

props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");

Because apparently for G-mail you did not need it. Then if you haven't already done this you need to create an app password in G-mail for your program. I did that and it worked perfectly. Here this link will show you how: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833.

How can I get table names from an MS Access Database?

You can use schemas in Access.

Sub ListAccessTables2(strDBPath)
   Dim cnnDB As ADODB.Connection
   Dim rstList As ADODB.Recordset

   Set cnnDB = New ADODB.Connection

   ' Open the connection.
   With cnnDB
      .Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
      .Open strDBPath
   End With

   ' Open the tables schema rowset.
   Set rstList = cnnDB.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables)

   ' Loop through the results and print the
   ' names and types in the Immediate pane.
   With rstList
      Do While Not .EOF
         If .Fields("TABLE_TYPE") <> "VIEW" Then
            Debug.Print .Fields("TABLE_NAME") & vbTab & _
               .Fields("TABLE_TYPE")
         End If
         .MoveNext
      Loop
   End With
   cnnDB.Close
   Set cnnDB = Nothing
End Sub

    "tab_size": 4,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": false
}

.htaccess, order allow, deny, deny from all: confused?

This is a quite confusing way of using Apache configuration directives.

Technically, the first bit is equivalent to

Allow From All

This is because Order Deny,Allow makes the Deny directive evaluated before the Allow Directives. In this case, Deny and Allow conflict with each other, but Allow, being the last evaluated will match any user, and access will be granted.

Now, just to make things clear, this kind of configuration is BAD and should be avoided at all cost, because it borders undefined behaviour.

The Limit sections define which HTTP methods have access to the directory containing the .htaccess file.

Here, GET and POST methods are allowed access, and PUT and DELETE methods are denied access. Here's a link explaining what the various HTTP methods are: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

However, it's more than often useless to use these limitations as long as you don't have custom CGI scripts or Apache modules that directly handle the non-standard methods (PUT and DELETE), since by default, Apache does not handle them at all.

It must also be noted that a few other methods exist that can also be handled by Limit, namely CONNECT, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, and UNLOCK.

The last bit is also most certainly useless, since any correctly configured Apache installation contains the following piece of configuration (for Apache 2.2 and earlier):

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being 
# viewed by Web clients. 
#
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy all
</Files>

which forbids access to any file beginning by ".ht".

The equivalent Apache 2.4 configuration should look like:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Require all denied
</Files>

Error message: "'chromedriver' executable needs to be available in the path"

If you are working with robot framework RIDE. Then you can download Chromedriver.exe from its official website and keep this .exe file in C:\Python27\Scripts directory. Now mention this path as your environment variable eg. C:\Python27\Scripts\chromedriver.exe.

Restart your computer and run same test case again. You will not get this problem again.

Case insensitive string as HashMap key

One approach is to create a custom subclass of the Apache Commons AbstractHashedMap class, overriding the hash and isEqualKeys methods to perform case insensitive hashing and comparison of keys. (Note - I've never tried this myself ...)

This avoids the overhead of creating new objects each time you need to do a map lookup or update. And the common Map operations should O(1) ... just like a regular HashMap.

And if you are prepared to accept the implementation choices they have made, the Apache Commons CaseInsensitiveMap does the work of customizing / specializing AbstractHashedMap for you.

But if O(logN) get and put operations are acceptable, a TreeMap with a case insensitive string comparator is an option; e.g. using String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER.

And if you don't mind creating a new temporary String object each time you do a put or get, then Vishal's answer is just fine. (Though, I note that you wouldn't be preserving the original case of the keys if you did that ...)

MySQL integer field is returned as string in PHP

I like Chad's answer, especially when the query results will be passed on to javascript in a browser. Javascript deals cleanly with numeric like entities as numbers but requires extra work to deal with numeric like entities as strings. i.e. must use parseInt or parseFloat on them.

Building on Chad's solution I use this and it is often exactly what I need and creates structures that can be JSON encoded for easy dealing with in javascript.

while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    // convert numeric looking things to numbers for javascript
    foreach ($row as &$val) {
        if (is_numeric($val))
            $val = $val + 0;
    }
}

Adding a numeric string to 0 produces a numeric type in PHP and correctly identifies the type so floating point numbers will not be truncated into integers.

Using if-else in JSP

Instead of if-else condition use if in both conditions. it will work that way but not sure why.

Best practices for SQL varchar column length

Whenever I set up a new SQL table I feel the same way about 2^n being more "even"... but to sum up the answers here, there is no significant impact on storage space simply by defining varchar(2^n) or even varchar(MAX).

That said, you should still anticipate the potential implications on storage and performance when setting a high varchar() limit. For example, let's say you create a varchar(MAX) column to hold product descriptions with full-text indexing. If 99% of descriptions are only 500 characters long, and then suddenly you get somebody who replaces said descriptions with wikipedia articles, you may notice unanticipated significant storage and performance hits.

Another thing to consider from Bill Karwin:

There's one possible performance impact: in MySQL, temporary tables and MEMORY tables store a VARCHAR column as a fixed-length column, padded out to its maximum length. If you design VARCHAR columns much larger than the greatest size you need, you will consume more memory than you have to. This affects cache efficiency, sorting speed, etc.

Basically, just come up with reasonable business constraints and error on a slightly larger size. As @onedaywhen pointed out, family names in UK are usually between 1-35 characters. If you decide to make it varchar(64), you're not really going to hurt anything... unless you're storing this guy's family name that's said to be up to 666 characters long. In that case, maybe varchar(1028) makes more sense.

And in case it's helpful, here's what varchar 2^5 through 2^10 might look like if filled: 

varchar(32)     Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet amet.

varchar(64)     Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donecie

jQuery Mobile: document ready vs. page events

Some of you might find this useful. Just copy paste it to your page and you will get a sequence in which events are fired in the Chrome console (Ctrl + Shift + I).

$(document).on('pagebeforecreate',function(){console.log('pagebeforecreate');});
$(document).on('pagecreate',function(){console.log('pagecreate');});
$(document).on('pageinit',function(){console.log('pageinit');});
$(document).on('pagebeforehide',function(){console.log('pagebeforehide');});
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow',function(){console.log('pagebeforeshow');});
$(document).on('pageremove',function(){console.log('pageremove');});
$(document).on('pageshow',function(){console.log('pageshow');});
$(document).on('pagehide',function(){console.log('pagehide');});
$(window).load(function () {console.log("window loaded");});
$(window).unload(function () {console.log("window unloaded");});
$(function () {console.log('document ready');});

You are not going see unload in the console as it is fired when the page is being unloaded (when you move away from the page). Use it like this:

$(window).unload(function () { debugger; console.log("window unloaded");});

And you will see what I mean.

Difference between Date(dateString) and new Date(dateString)

The following format works in all browsers:

new Date("2010/08/17 12:09:36");

So, to make a yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss formatted date string fully browser compatible you would have to replace dashes with slashes:

var dateString = "2010-08-17 12:09:36";
new Date(dateString.replace(/-/g, "/"));

Find index of last occurrence of a substring in a string

you can use rindex() function to get the last occurrence of a character in string

s="hellloooloo"
b='l'
print(s.rindex(b))

list.clear() vs list = new ArrayList<Integer>();

list.clear() is going to keep the same ArrayList but the same memory allocation. list = new ArrayList<int>(); is going to allocate new memory for your ArrayList.

The big difference is that ArrayLists will expand dynamically as you need more space. Therefore, if you call list.clear() you will still, potentially, have a large amount of memory allocated for an ArrayList that might not be needed.

That said list.clear() will be faster but if memory maters you might want to allocate a new ArrayList.

Static extension methods

In short, no, you can't.

Long answer, extension methods are just syntactic sugar. IE:

If you have an extension method on string let's say:

public static string SomeStringExtension(this string s)
{
   //whatever..
}

When you then call it:

myString.SomeStringExtension();

The compiler just turns it into:

ExtensionClass.SomeStringExtension(myString);

So as you can see, there's no way to do that for static methods.

And another thing just dawned on me: what would really be the point of being able to add static methods on existing classes? You can just have your own helper class that does the same thing, so what's really the benefit in being able to do:

Bool.Parse(..)

vs.

Helper.ParseBool(..);

Doesn't really bring much to the table...

How to convert minutes to hours/minutes and add various time values together using jQuery?

In case you want to return a string in 00:00 format...

convertMinsToHrsMins: function (minutes) {
  var h = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
  var m = minutes % 60;
  h = h < 10 ? '0' + h : h;
  m = m < 10 ? '0' + m : m;
  return h + ':' + m;
}

Thanks for the up-votes. Here's a slightly tidier ES6 version :)

const convertMinsToHrsMins = (mins) => {
  let h = Math.floor(mins / 60);
  let m = mins % 60;
  h = h < 10 ? '0' + h : h;
  m = m < 10 ? '0' + m : m;
  return `${h}:${m}`;
}

How to determine when Fragment becomes visible in ViewPager

setUserVisibleHint() gets called sometimes before onCreateView() and sometimes after which causes trouble.

To overcome this you need to check isResumed() as well inside setUserVisibleHint() method. But in this case i realized setUserVisibleHint() gets called only if Fragment is resumed and visible, NOT when Created.

So if you want to update something when Fragment is visible, put your update function both in onCreate() and setUserVisibleHint():

@Override
public View onCreateView(...){
    ...
    myUIUpdate();
    ...        
}
  ....
@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean visible){
    super.setUserVisibleHint(visible);
    if (visible && isResumed()){
        myUIUpdate();
    }
}

UPDATE: Still i realized myUIUpdate() gets called twice sometimes, the reason is, if you have 3 tabs and this code is on 2nd tab, when you first open 1st tab, the 2nd tab is also created even it is not visible and myUIUpdate() is called. Then when you swipe to 2nd tab, myUIUpdate() from if (visible && isResumed()) is called and as a result,myUIUpdate() may get called twice in a second.

The other problem is !visible in setUserVisibleHint gets called both 1) when you go out of fragment screen and 2) before it is created, when you switch to fragment screen first time.

Solution: 

private boolean fragmentResume=false;
private boolean fragmentVisible=false;
private boolean fragmentOnCreated=false;
...

@Override
public View onCreateView(...){
    ...
    //Initialize variables
    if (!fragmentResume && fragmentVisible){   //only when first time fragment is created
        myUIUpdate();
    }
    ...        
}

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean visible){
    super.setUserVisibleHint(visible);
    if (visible && isResumed()){   // only at fragment screen is resumed
        fragmentResume=true;
        fragmentVisible=false;
        fragmentOnCreated=true;
        myUIUpdate();
    }else  if (visible){        // only at fragment onCreated
        fragmentResume=false;
        fragmentVisible=true;
        fragmentOnCreated=true;
    }
    else if(!visible && fragmentOnCreated){// only when you go out of fragment screen
        fragmentVisible=false;
        fragmentResume=false;
    }
}

Explanation:

fragmentResume,fragmentVisible: Makes sure myUIUpdate() in onCreateView() is called only when fragment is created and visible, not on resume. It also solves problem when you are at 1st tab, 2nd tab is created even if it is not visible. This solves that and checks if fragment screen is visible when onCreate.

fragmentOnCreated: Makes sure fragment is not visible, and not called when you create fragment first time. So now this if clause only gets called when you swipe out of fragment.

Update You can put all this code in BaseFragment code like this and override method.

How can I catch all the exceptions that will be thrown through reading and writing a file?

You may catch multiple exceptions in single catch block.

try{
  // somecode throwing multiple exceptions;
} catch (Exception1 | Exception2 | Exception3 exception){
  // handle exception.
}

How can I get dict from sqlite query?

Even using the sqlite3.Row class-- you still can't use string formatting in the form of:

print "%(id)i - %(name)s: %(value)s" % row

In order to get past this, I use a helper function that takes the row and converts to a dictionary. I only use this when the dictionary object is preferable to the Row object (e.g. for things like string formatting where the Row object doesn't natively support the dictionary API as well). But use the Row object all other times. 

def dict_from_row(row):
    return dict(zip(row.keys(), row))

How to remove focus border (outline) around text/input boxes? (Chrome)

The current answer didn't work for me with Bootstrap 3.1.1. Here's what I had to override:

.form-control:focus {
  border-color: inherit;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

"Parse Error : There is a problem parsing the package" while installing Android application

For anyone else having this issue the only time i ever got this error was when the API version in your Android Build configuration does not match what's on the physical device.

Go into Eclipse and right click on your project and go to properties. Select Android--WHICH BRINGS YOU TO ANDROID BUILD TARGET. Adjust you target to match the device and see if that resolves the issue.

Loading custom configuration files

The config file is just an XML file, you can open it by:

private static XmlDocument loadConfigDocument()
{
    XmlDocument doc = null;
    try
    {
        doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(getConfigFilePath());
        return doc;
    }
    catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        throw new Exception("No configuration file found.", e);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

and later retrieving values by:

    // retrieve appSettings node

    XmlNode node =  doc.SelectSingleNode("//appSettings");

Styling the arrow on bootstrap tooltips

You can always try putting this code in your main css without modifying the bootstrap file what is most recommended so you keep consistency if in a future you update the bootstrap file.

.tooltip-inner {
background-color: #FF0000;
}

.tooltip.right .tooltip-arrow {
border-right: 5px solid #FF0000;

}

Notice that this example is for a right tooltip. The tooltip-inner property changes the tooltip BG color, the other one changes the arrow color.

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol on URL based on a string modified with URLEncoder

This code worked for me

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        java.net.URL myUr = new java.net.URL("http://path");
        System.out.println("Instantiated new URL: " + connection_url);
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Creating layout constraints programmatically

Regarding your second question about properties, you can use self.myView only if you declared it as a property in class. Since myView is a local variable, you can not use it that way. For more details on this, I would recommend you to go through the apple documentation on Declared Properties,

Android - How to download a file from a webserver

Mr.Iam4fun your code answer here..You will use thread...

   findViewById(R.id.download).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            new Thread(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    DownloadFiles();
                }
            }).start();

And,then..

 public void DownloadFiles(){

        try {
            URL u = new URL("http://www.qwikisoft.com/demo/ashade/20001.kml");
            InputStream is = u.openStream();

            DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is);

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int length;

            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "data/test.kml"));
            while ((length = dis.read(buffer))>0) {
              fos.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }

          } catch (MalformedURLException mue) {
            Log.e("SYNC getUpdate", "malformed url error", mue);
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
            Log.e("SYNC getUpdate", "io error", ioe);
          } catch (SecurityException se) {
            Log.e("SYNC getUpdate", "security error", se);
          }
}
}

Sure, it will be working..

Javascript format date / time

Yes, you can use the native javascript Date() object and its methods.

For instance you can create a function like:

function formatDate(date) {
  var hours = date.getHours();
  var minutes = date.getMinutes();
  var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
  hours = hours % 12;
  hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
  minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
  var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + ampm;
  return (date.getMonth()+1) + "/" + date.getDate() + "/" + date.getFullYear() + "  " + strTime;
}

var d = new Date();
var e = formatDate(d);

alert(e);

And display also the am / pm and the correct time.

Remember to use getFullYear() method and not getYear() because it has been deprecated.

How does @synchronized lock/unlock in Objective-C?

In Objective-C, a @synchronized block handles locking and unlocking (as well as possible exceptions) automatically for you. The runtime dynamically essentially generates an NSRecursiveLock that is associated with the object you're synchronizing on. This Apple documentation explains it in more detail. This is why you're not seeing the log messages from your NSLock subclass — the object you synchronize on can be anything, not just an NSLock.

Basically, @synchronized (...) is a convenience construct that streamlines your code. Like most simplifying abstractions, it has associated overhead (think of it as a hidden cost), and it's good to be aware of that, but raw performance is probably not the supreme goal when using such constructs anyway.

Constantly print Subprocess output while process is running

None of the answers here addressed all of my needs.

  1. No threads for stdout (no Queues, etc, either)
  2. Non-blocking as I need to check for other things going on
  3. Use PIPE as I needed to do multiple things, e.g. stream output, write to a log file and return a string copy of the output.

A little background: I am using a ThreadPoolExecutor to manage a pool of threads, each launching a subprocess and running them concurrency. (In Python2.7, but this should work in newer 3.x as well). I don't want to use threads just for output gathering as I want as many available as possible for other things (a pool of 20 processes would be using 40 threads just to run; 1 for the process thread and 1 for stdout...and more if you want stderr I guess)

I'm stripping back a lot of exception and such here so this is based on code that works in production. Hopefully I didn't ruin it in the copy and paste. Also, feedback very much welcome!

import time
import fcntl
import subprocess
import time

proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

# Make stdout non-blocking when using read/readline
proc_stdout = proc.stdout
fl = fcntl.fcntl(proc_stdout, fcntl.F_GETFL)
fcntl.fcntl(proc_stdout, fcntl.F_SETFL, fl | os.O_NONBLOCK)

def handle_stdout(proc_stream, my_buffer, echo_streams=True, log_file=None):
    """A little inline function to handle the stdout business. """
    # fcntl makes readline non-blocking so it raises an IOError when empty
    try:
        for s in iter(proc_stream.readline, ''):   # replace '' with b'' for Python 3
            my_buffer.append(s)

            if echo_streams:
                sys.stdout.write(s)

            if log_file:
                log_file.write(s)
    except IOError:
        pass

# The main loop while subprocess is running
stdout_parts = []
while proc.poll() is None:
    handle_stdout(proc_stdout, stdout_parts)

    # ...Check for other things here...
    # For example, check a multiprocessor.Value('b') to proc.kill()

    time.sleep(0.01)

# Not sure if this is needed, but run it again just to be sure we got it all?
handle_stdout(proc_stdout, stdout_parts)

stdout_str = "".join(stdout_parts)  # Just to demo

I'm sure there is overhead being added here but it is not a concern in my case. Functionally it does what I need. The only thing I haven't solved is why this works perfectly for log messages but I see some print messages show up later and all at once.

"No such file or directory" error when executing a binary

Old question, but hopefully this'll help someone else.

In my case I was using a toolchain on Ubuntu 12.04 that was built on Ubuntu 10.04 (requires GCC 4.1 to build). As most of the libraries have moved to multiarch dirs, it couldn't find ld.so. So, make a symlink for it.

Check required path:

$ readelf -a arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc | grep interpreter:
      [Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]

Create symlink:

$ sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

If you're on 32bit, it'll be i386-linux-gnu and not x86_64-linux-gnu.

jQuery limit to 2 decimal places

Here is a working example in both Javascript and jQuery:

http://jsfiddle.net/GuLYN/312/

//In jQuery
$("#calculate").click(function() {
    var num = parseFloat($("#textbox").val());
    var new_num = $("#textbox").val(num.toFixed(2));
});


// In javascript
document.getElementById('calculate').onclick = function() {
    var num = parseFloat(document.getElementById('textbox').value);
    var new_num = num.toFixed(2);
    document.getElementById('textbox').value = new_num;
};

Best practices for Storyboard login screen, handling clearing of data upon logout

Here's my Swifty solution for any future onlookers.

1) Create a protocol to handle both login and logout functions:

protocol LoginFlowHandler {
    func handleLogin(withWindow window: UIWindow?)
    func handleLogout(withWindow window: UIWindow?)
}

2) Extend said protocol and provide the functionality here for logging out: 

extension LoginFlowHandler {

    func handleLogin(withWindow window: UIWindow?) {

        if let _ = AppState.shared.currentUserId {
            //User has logged in before, cache and continue
            self.showMainApp(withWindow: window)
        } else {
            //No user information, show login flow
            self.showLogin(withWindow: window)
        }
    }

    func handleLogout(withWindow window: UIWindow?) {

        AppState.shared.signOut()

        showLogin(withWindow: window)
    }

    func showLogin(withWindow window: UIWindow?) {
        window?.subviews.forEach { $0.removeFromSuperview() }
        window?.rootViewController = nil
        window?.rootViewController = R.storyboard.login.instantiateInitialViewController()
        window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
    }

    func showMainApp(withWindow window: UIWindow?) {
        window?.rootViewController = nil
        window?.rootViewController = R.storyboard.mainTabBar.instantiateInitialViewController()
        window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
    }

}

3) Then I can conform my AppDelegate to the LoginFlowHandler protocol, and call handleLogin on startup:

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, LoginFlowHandler {

    var window: UIWindow?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        window = UIWindow.init(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)

        initialiseServices()

        handleLogin(withWindow: window)

        return true
    }

}

From here, my protocol extension will handle the logic or determining if the user if logged in/out, and then change the windows rootViewController accordingly!

Eclipse No tests found using JUnit 5 caused by NoClassDefFoundError for LauncherFactory

FYI, another cause of "No tests found using junit5" is (inadvertently or intentionally) declaring the test cases "private":

// Example of test case that doesn't get included
@Test
private void testSomeMethod() {
}

They need to be public.

Java Returning method which returns arraylist?

You need to instantiate the class it is contained within, or make the method static.

So if it is contained within class Foo:

Foo x = new Foo();
List<Integer> stuff = x.myNumbers();

or alternatively shorthand:

List<Integer> stuff = new Foo().myNumbers();

or if you make it static like so: 

public static List<Integer> myNumbers()    {
    List<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    numbers.add(5);
    numbers.add(11);
    numbers.add(3);
    return(numbers);
}

you can call it like so: 

List<Integer> stuff = Foo.myNumbers();

Removing u in list

u'AB' is just a text representation of the corresponding Unicode string. Here're several methods that create exactly the same Unicode string:

L = [u'AB', u'\x41\x42', u'\u0041\u0042', unichr(65) + unichr(66)]
print u", ".join(L)

Output

AB, AB, AB, AB

There is no u'' in memory. It is just the way to represent the unicode object in Python 2 (how you would write the Unicode string literal in a Python source code). By default print L is equivalent to print "[%s]" % ", ".join(map(repr, L)) i.e., repr() function is called for each list item:

print L
print "[%s]" % ", ".join(map(repr, L))

Output

[u'AB', u'AB', u'AB', u'AB']
[u'AB', u'AB', u'AB', u'AB']

If you are working in a REPL then a customizable sys.displayhook is used that calls repr() on each object by default:

>>> L = [u'AB', u'\x41\x42', u'\u0041\u0042', unichr(65) + unichr(66)]
>>> L
[u'AB', u'AB', u'AB', u'AB']
>>> ", ".join(L)
u'AB, AB, AB, AB'
>>> print ", ".join(L)
AB, AB, AB, AB

Don't encode to bytes. Print unicode directly.

In your specific case, I would create a Python list and use json.dumps() to serialize it instead of using string formatting to create JSON text:

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import json
# ...
test = [dict(email=player.email, gem=player.gem)
        for player in players]
print test
print json.dumps(test)

Output

[{'email': u'[email protected]', 'gem': 0}, {'email': u'test', 'gem': 0}, {'email': u'test', 'gem': 0}, {'email': u'test', 'gem': 0}, {'email': u'test', 'gem': 0}, {'email': u'test1', 'gem': 0}]
[{"email": "[email protected]", "gem": 0}, {"email": "test", "gem": 0}, {"email": "test", "gem": 0}, {"email": "test", "gem": 0}, {"email": "test", "gem": 0}, {"email": "test1", "gem": 0}]

Check if at least two out of three booleans are true

Sum it up. It's called boolean algebra for a reason:

  0 x 0 = 0
  1 x 0 = 0
  1 x 1 = 1

  0 + 0 = 0
  1 + 0 = 1
  1 + 1 = 0 (+ carry)

If you look at the truth tables there, you can see that multiplication is boolean and, and simply addition is xor.

To answer your question: 

return (a + b + c) >= 2

grunt: command not found when running from terminal

I have been hunting around trying to solve this one for a while and none of the suggested updates to bash seemed to be working. What I discovered was that some point my npm root was modified such that it was pointing to a Users/USER_NAME/.node/node_modules while the actual installation of npm was living at /usr/local/lib/node_modules. You can check this by running npm root and npm root -g (for the global installation). To correct the path you can call npm config set prefix /usr/local.

Creating a JSON dynamically with each input value using jquery

I don't think you can turn JavaScript objects into JSON strings using only jQuery, assuming you need the JSON string as output.

Depending on the browsers you are targeting, you can use the JSON.stringify function to produce JSON strings.

See http://www.json.org/js.html for more information, there you can also find a JSON parser for older browsers that don't support the JSON object natively.

In your case:

var array = [];
$("input[class=email]").each(function() {
    array.push({
        title: $(this).attr("title"),
        email: $(this).val()
    });
});
// then to get the JSON string
var jsonString = JSON.stringify(array);

Yes, you need $(this) for jQuery functions, but when you want to access basic javascript methods of the element that don't use jQuery, you can just use this.

Understanding The Modulus Operator %

As others have pointed out modulus is based on remainder system.

I think an easier way to think about modulus is what remains after a dividend (number to be divided) has been fully divided by a divisor. So if we think about 5%7, when you divide 5 by 7, 7 can go into 5 only 0 times and when you subtract 0 (7*0) from 5 (just like we learnt back in elementary school), then the remainder would be 5 ( the mod). See the illustration below.

   0
  ______
7) 5    
__-0____
   5

With the same logic, -5 mod 7 will be -5 ( only 0 7s can go in -5 and -5-0*7 = -5). With the same token -5 mod -7 will also be -5. A few more interesting cases:

5 mod (-3) = 2 i.e. 5 - (-3*-1)

(-5) mod (-3) = -2 i.e. -5 - (-3*1) = -5+3

Converting an OpenCV Image to Black and White

Approach 1

While converting a gray scale image to a binary image, we usually use cv2.threshold() and set a threshold value manually. Sometimes to get a decent result we opt for Otsu's binarization.

I have a small hack I came across while reading some blog posts.

  1. Convert your color (RGB) image to gray scale.
  2. Obtain the median of the gray scale image.
  3. Choose a threshold value either 33% above the median

enter image description here

Why 33%?

This is because 33% works for most of the images/data-set.

You can also work out the same approach by replacing median with the mean.

Approach 2

Another approach would be to take an x number of standard deviations (std) from the mean, either on the positive or negative side; and set a threshold. So it could be one of the following:

  • th1 = mean - (x * std)
  • th2 = mean + (x * std)

Note: Before applying threshold it is advisable to enhance the contrast of the gray scale image locally (See CLAHE).

Numpy AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'exp'

Probably there's something wrong with the input values for X and/or T. The function from the question works ok:

import numpy as np
from math import e

def sigmoid(X, T):
  return 1.0 / (1.0 + np.exp(-1.0 * np.dot(X, T)))

X = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [5, 0, 0]])
T = np.array([[1, 2], [1, 1], [4, 4]])

print(X.dot(T))
# Just to see if values are ok
print([1. / (1. + e ** el) for el in [-5, -10, -15, -16]])
print()
print(sigmoid(X, T))

Result:

[[15 16]
 [ 5 10]]

[0.9933071490757153, 0.9999546021312976, 0.999999694097773, 0.9999998874648379]

[[ 0.99999969  0.99999989]
 [ 0.99330715  0.9999546 ]]

Probably it's the dtype of your input arrays. Changing X to:

X = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [5, 0, 0]], dtype=object)

Gives:

How to export a Vagrant virtual machine to transfer it

None of the above answers worked for me. I have been 2 days working out the way to migrate a Vagrant + VirtualBox Machine from a computer to another... It's possible!

First, you need to understand that the virtual machine is separated from your sync / shared folder. So when you pack your machine you're packing it without your files, but with the databases.

What you need to do:

1- Open the CMD of your computer 1 host machine (Command line. Open it as Adminitrator with the right button -> "Run as administrator") and go to your vagrant installed files. On my case: C:/VVV You will see your Vagrantfile an also these folders:

/config/
/database/
/log/
/provision/
/www/
Vagrantfile
...

The /www/ folder is where I have my Sync Folder with my development domains. You may have your sync folder in other place, just be sure to understand what you are doing. Also /config and /database are sync folders.

2- run this command: vagrant package --vagrantfile Vagrantfile

(This command does a package of your virtual machine using you Vagrantfile configuration.)

Here's what you can read on the Vagrant documentation about the command:

A common misconception is that the --vagrantfile option will package a Vagrantfile that is used when vagrant init is used with this box. This is not the case. Instead, a Vagrantfile is loaded and read as part of the Vagrant load process when the box is used. For more information, read about the Vagrantfile load order.

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/package.html

When finnished, you will have a package.box file.

3- Copy all these files (/config, /database, Vagrantfile, package.box, etc.) and paste them on your Computer 2 just where you want to install your virtual machine (on my case D:/VVV).

Now you have a copy of everything you need on your computer 2 host.

4- run this: vagrant box add package.box --name VVV

(The --name is used to name your virtual machine. On my case it's named VVV) (You can use --force if you already have a virtual machine with this name and want to overwrite it. (Use carefully !))

This will unpack your new vagrant Virtual machine.

5- When finnished, run: vagrant up

The machine will install and you should see it on the "Oracle virtual machine box manager". If you cannot see the virtual machine, try running the Oracle VM box as administrator (right click -> Run as administrator)

You now may have everything ok but remember to see if your hosts are as you expected:

c:/windows/system32/hosts

6- Maybe it's a good idea to copy your host file from your Computer 1 to your Computer 2. Or copy the lines you need. In my case these are the hosts I need:

192.168.50.4 test.dev
192.168.50.4 vvv.dev
...

Where the 192.168.50.4 is the IP of my Virtual machine and test.dev and vvv.dev are developing hosts.

I hope this can help you :) I'll be happy if you feedback your go.

Some particularities of my case that you may find:

When I ran vagrant up, there was a problem with mysql, it wasn't working. I had to run on the Virtual server (right click on the oracle virtual machine -> Show console): apt-get install mysql-server

After this, I ran again vagrant up and everything was working but without data on the databases. So I did a mysqldump all-tables from the Computer 1 and upload them to Computer 2.

OTHER NOTES: My virtual machine is not exactly on Computer 1 and Computer 2. For example, I made some time ago internal configuration to use NFS (to speed up the server sync folders) and I needed to run again this command on the Computer 2 host: vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

How to download a file with Node.js (without using third-party libraries)?

Using the http2 Module

I saw answers using the http, https, and request modules. I'd like to add one using yet another native NodeJS module that supports either the http or https protocol:

Solution

I've referenced the official NodeJS API, as well as some of the other answers on this question for something I'm doing. The following was the test I wrote to try it out, which worked as intended:

import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as _path from 'path';
import * as http2 from 'http2';

/* ... */

async function download( host, query, destination )
{
    return new Promise
    (
        ( resolve, reject ) =>
        {
            // Connect to client:
            const client = http2.connect( host );
            client.on( 'error', error => reject( error ) );

            // Prepare a write stream:
            const fullPath = _path.join( fs.realPathSync( '.' ), destination );
            const file = fs.createWriteStream( fullPath, { flags: "wx" } );
            file.on( 'error', error => reject( error ) );

            // Create a request:
            const request = client.request( { [':path']: query } );

            // On initial response handle non-success (!== 200) status error:
            request.on
            (
                'response',
                ( headers/*, flags*/ ) =>
                {
                    if( headers[':status'] !== 200 )
                    {
                        file.close();
                        fs.unlink( fullPath, () => {} );
                        reject( new Error( `Server responded with ${headers[':status']}` ) );
                    }
                }
            );

            // Set encoding for the payload:
            request.setEncoding( 'utf8' );

            // Write the payload to file:
            request.on( 'data', chunk => file.write( chunk ) );

            // Handle ending the request
            request.on
            (
                'end',
                () =>
                {
                    file.close();
                    client.close();
                    resolve( { result: true } );
                }
            );

            /* 
                You can use request.setTimeout( 12000, () => {} ) for aborting
                after period of inactivity
            */

            // Fire off [flush] the request:
            request.end();
        }
    );
}

Then, for example:

/* ... */

let downloaded = await download( 'https://gitlab.com', '/api/v4/...', 'tmp/tmpFile' );

if( downloaded.result )
{
    // Success!
}

// ...

How to Validate on Max File Size in Laravel?

According to the documentation:

The value is in kilobytes. I.e. max:10240 = max 10 MB.

Automatic login script for a website on windows machine?

Well, its true that we can use Vb Script for what you intended to do. We can open an application through the code like Internet Explorer. We can navigate to site you intend for. Later we can check the element names of Text Boxes which require username and password; can set then and then Login. It works fine all of using code.

No manual interaction with the website. And eventually you will end up signing in by just double clicking the file.

To get you started :

Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

Call objIE.Navigate("https://gmail.com")

This will open an instance of internet explore and navigate to gmail. Rest you can learn and apply.

What is the difference between user and kernel modes in operating systems?

These are two different modes in which your computer can operate. Prior to this, when computers were like a big room, if something crashes – it halts the whole computer. So computer architects decide to change it. Modern microprocessors implement in hardware at least 2 different states.

User mode:

  • mode where all user programs execute. It does not have access to RAM and hardware. The reason for this is because if all programs ran in kernel mode, they would be able to overwrite each other’s memory. If it needs to access any of these features – it makes a call to the underlying API. Each process started by windows except of system process runs in user mode.

Kernel mode:

  • mode where all kernel programs execute (different drivers). It has access to every resource and underlying hardware. Any CPU instruction can be executed and every memory address can be accessed. This mode is reserved for drivers which operate on the lowest level

How the switch occurs.

The switch from user mode to kernel mode is not done automatically by CPU. CPU is interrupted by interrupts (timers, keyboard, I/O). When interrupt occurs, CPU stops executing the current running program, switch to kernel mode, executes interrupt handler. This handler saves the state of CPU, performs its operations, restore the state and returns to user mode.

How do I escape ampersands in XML so they are rendered as entities in HTML?

The & character is itself an escape character in XML so the solution is to concatenate it and a Unicode decimal equivalent for & thus ensuring that there are no XML parsing errors. That is, replace the character & with &#038;.

jquery .on() method with load event

I'm not sure what you're going for here--by the time jQuery(document).ready() has executed, it has already loaded, and thus document's load event will already have been called. Attaching the load event handler at this point will have no effect and it will never be called. If you're attempting to alert "started" once the document has loaded, just put it right in the (document).ready() call, like this:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    var x = $('#initial').html();
    $('#add').click(function() {
        $('body').append(x);
    });

    alert('started');

});?

If, as your code also appears to insinuate, you want to fire the alert when .abc has loaded, put it in an individual .load handler:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    var x = $('#initial').html();
    $('#add').click(function() {
        $('body').append(x);
    });

    $(".abc").on("load", function() {
        alert('started');
    }
});?

Finally, I see little point in using jQuery in one place and $ in another. It's generally better to keep your code consistent, and either use jQuery everywhere or $ everywhere, as the two are generally interchangeable.

How can I change Mac OS's default Java VM returned from /usr/libexec/java_home

I had a similar situation, and the following process worked for me:

  1. In the terminal, type 

    vi ~/.profile

  2. Then add this line in the file, and save

    export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<version>.jdk/Contents/Home

    where version is the one on your computer, such as 1.7.0_25

  3. Exit the editor, then type the following command make it become effective

    source ~/.profile

Then type java -version to check the result 

    java -version

What is .profile? From:http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/speed-up-your-terminal-workflow-with-command-aliases-and-profile--mac-30515

.profile file is a hidden file. It is an optional file which tells the system which commands to run when the user whose profile file it is logs in. For example, if my username is bruno and there is a .profile file in /Users/bruno/, all of its contents will be executed during the log-in procedure.

How to determine MIME type of file in android?

its works for me and flexible both for content and file

public static String getMimeType(Context context, Uri uri) {
    String extension;

    //Check uri format to avoid null
    if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
        //If scheme is a content
        final MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
        extension = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(context.getContentResolver().getType(uri));
    } else {
        //If scheme is a File
        //This will replace white spaces with %20 and also other special characters. This will avoid returning null values on file name with spaces and special characters.
        extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(new File(uri.getPath())).toString());

    }

How to access share folder in virtualbox. Host Win7, Guest Fedora 16?

Install Oracle Guest Additions:

[host-hotkey (usually right Ctrl)] + [d],

Then:

sudo /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.*/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

You can now enjoy:

  • A guest that can run at native screen resolution
  • Ability to share files between host and guest
  • Share the clipboard (allowing you to copy and paste between host and guest).

To share folders set them up to be shared. Consider the permissions. Note that the host file permissions are transient. IOW if you can't write to file on host, the guest can't either.

After setting up the file to be shared create a destination if you don't have one: mkdir -p ~/destination

Now mount it under the name you configured it with:

sudo mount -t vboxsf myFileName ~/destination

As an extra tip you can really exploit this feature to do things like: - Use guest subversion client to create repository to mounted directory (you won't have a full svn client but the repo can be used in an IDE on the host). - I personally use my guest to download and unpack binaries like Tomcat to a targeted mount. Yes you can use Linux to install things on Windows!

To unmount all shares:

sudo umount -f -a -t vboxsf

Google Maps v3 - limit viewable area and zoom level

Better way to restrict zoom level might be to use the minZoom/maxZoom options rather than reacting to events?

var opt = { minZoom: 6, maxZoom: 9 };
map.setOptions(opt);

Or the options can be specified during map initialization, e.g.:

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), opt);

See: Google Maps JavaScript API V3 Reference

Python function overloading

Overloading methods is tricky in Python. However, there could be usage of passing the dict, list or primitive variables.

I have tried something for my use cases, and this could help here to understand people to overload the methods.

Let's take your example:

A class overload method with call the methods from different class.

def add_bullet(sprite=None, start=None, headto=None, spead=None, acceleration=None):

Pass the arguments from the remote class:

add_bullet(sprite = 'test', start=Yes,headto={'lat':10.6666,'long':10.6666},accelaration=10.6}

Or

add_bullet(sprite = 'test', start=Yes, headto={'lat':10.6666,'long':10.6666},speed=['10','20,'30']}

So, handling is being achieved for list, Dictionary or primitive variables from method overloading.

Try it out for your code.

XML serialization in Java?

XStream is pretty good at serializing object to XML without much configuration and money! (it's under BSD license).

We used it in one of our project to replace the plain old java-serialization and it worked almost out of the box.

How do I make a semi transparent background?

Although dated, not one answer on this thread can be used universally. Using rgba to create transparent color masks - that doesn't exactly explain how to do so with background images.

My solution works for background images or color backgrounds.

Map and Reduce in .NET

The classes of problem that are well suited for a mapreduce style solution are problems of aggregation. Of extracting data from a dataset. In C#, one could take advantage of LINQ to program in this style.

From the following article: http://codecube.net/2009/02/mapreduce-in-c-using-linq/

the GroupBy method is acting as the map, while the Select method does the job of reducing the intermediate results into the final list of results.

var wordOccurrences = words
                .GroupBy(w => w)
                .Select(intermediate => new
                {
                    Word = intermediate.Key,
                    Frequency = intermediate.Sum(w => 1)
                })
                .Where(w => w.Frequency > 10)
                .OrderBy(w => w.Frequency);

For the distributed portion, you could check out DryadLINQ: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dryadlinq/default.aspx

Using comma as list separator with AngularJS

If you are using ng-show to limit the values, the {{$last ? '' : ', '}} won`t work since it will still take into consideration all the values.Example

<div ng-repeat="x in records" ng-show="x.email == 1">{{x}}{{$last ? '' : ', '}}</div>

var myApp = angular.module("myApp", []);
myApp.controller("myCtrl", function($scope) {
  $scope.records = [
    {"email": "1"},
    {"email": "1"},
    {"email": "2"},
    {"email": "3"}
  ]
});

Results in adding a comma after the "last" value,since with ng-show it still takes into consideration all 4 values

{"email":"1"},
{"email":"1"},

One solution is to add a filter directly into ng-repeat

<div ng-repeat="x in records | filter: { email : '1' } ">{{x}}{{$last ? '' : ', '}}</div>

Results

{"email":"1"},
{"email":"1"}

hasNext in Python iterators?

There's an alternative to the StopIteration by using next(iterator, default_value).

For exapmle:

>>> a = iter('hi')
>>> print next(a, None)
h
>>> print next(a, None)
i
>>> print next(a, None)
None

So you can detect for None or other pre-specified value for end of the iterator if you don't want the exception way.

How to find the Git commit that introduced a string in any branch?

 
git log -S"string_to_search" # options like --source --reverse --all etc

Pay attention not to use spaces between S and "string_to_search". In some setups (git 1.7.1), you'll get an error like:

fatal: ambiguous argument 'string_to_search': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

Entity Framework Refresh context?

The best way to refresh entities in your context is to dispose your context and create a new one.

If you really need to refresh some entity and you are using Code First approach with DbContext class, you can use

    public static void ReloadEntity<TEntity>(
        this DbContext context, 
        TEntity entity)
        where TEntity : class
    {
        context.Entry(entity).Reload();
    }

To reload collection navigation properties, you can use

    public static void ReloadNavigationProperty<TEntity, TElement>(
        this DbContext context, 
        TEntity entity, 
        Expression<Func<TEntity, ICollection<TElement>>> navigationProperty)
        where TEntity : class
        where TElement : class
    {
        context.Entry(entity).Collection<TElement>(navigationProperty).Query();
    }

What is the JavaScript version of sleep()?

Using Typescript?

Here's a quick sleep() implementation that can be awaited. This is as similar as possible to the top answer. It's functionally equivalent except ms is typed as number for typescript.

const sleep = (ms: number) =>
  new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

async function demo() {
  console.log('Taking a break for 2s (2000ms)...');
  await sleep(2000);
  console.log('Two seconds later');
}

demo();

This is it. await sleep(<duration>).

Note that,

  1. await can only be executed in functions prefixed with the async keyword, or at the top level of your script in some environments (e.g. the Chrome DevTools console, or Runkit).
  2. await only pauses the current async function

How can I invert color using CSS?

Add the same color of the background to the paragraph and then invert with CSS:

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
div {_x000D_
    background-color: #f00;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
p { _x000D_
    color: #f00;_x000D_
    -webkit-filter: invert(100%);_x000D_
    filter: invert(100%);_x000D_
}
_x000D_ 
<div>_x000D_
    <p>inverted color</p>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_

Redirecting to another page in ASP.NET MVC using JavaScript/jQuery

You can use:

window.location.href = '/Branch/Details/' + id;

But your Ajax code is incomplete without success or error functions.

What is the difference between DTR/DSR and RTS/CTS flow control?

An important difference is that some UARTs (16550 notably) will stop receiving characters immediately if their host instructs them to set DSR to be inactive. In contrast, characters will still be received if CTS is inactive. I believe that the intention here is that DSR indicates that the device is no longer listening and so sending any further characters is pointless, while CTS indicates that a buffer is getting full; the latter allows for a certain amount of 'skid' where the flow control line changed state between the DTE sampling it and the next character being transmitted. In (relatively) later devices that support a hardware FIFO it's possible that a number of characters could be transmitted after the DCE has set CTS to be inactive.

How can I get new selection in "select" in Angular 2?

You can pass the value back into the component by creating a reference variable on the select tag #device and passing it into the change handler onChange($event, device.value) should have the new value

<select [(ng-model)]="selectedDevice" #device (change)="onChange($event, device.value)">
    <option *ng-for="#i of devices">{{i}}</option>
</select>

onChange($event, deviceValue) {
    console.log(deviceValue);
}

Passing std::string by Value or Reference

I believe the normal answer is that it should be passed by value if you need to make a copy of it in your function. Pass it by const reference otherwise.

Here is a good discussion: http://cpp-next.com/archive/2009/08/want-speed-pass-by-value/

Show an image preview before upload

Here I did with jQuery using FileReader API.

Html Markup: 

<input id="fileUpload" type="file" multiple />
<div id="image-holder"></div>

jQuery:

Here in jQuery code,first I check for file extension. i.e valid image file to be processed, then will check whether the browser support FileReader API is yes then only processed else display respected message

$("#fileUpload").on('change', function () {

     //Get count of selected files
     var countFiles = $(this)[0].files.length;

     var imgPath = $(this)[0].value;
     var extn = imgPath.substring(imgPath.lastIndexOf('.') + 1).toLowerCase();
     var image_holder = $("#image-holder");
     image_holder.empty();

     if (extn == "gif" || extn == "png" || extn == "jpg" || extn == "jpeg") {
         if (typeof (FileReader) != "undefined") {

             //loop for each file selected for uploaded.
             for (var i = 0; i < countFiles; i++) {

                 var reader = new FileReader();
                 reader.onload = function (e) {
                     $("<img />", {
                         "src": e.target.result,
                             "class": "thumb-image"
                     }).appendTo(image_holder);
                 }

                 image_holder.show();
                 reader.readAsDataURL($(this)[0].files[i]);
             }

         } else {
             alert("This browser does not support FileReader.");
         }
     } else {
         alert("Pls select only images");
     }
 });

How to get a unique device ID in Swift?

You can use this (Swift 3):

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor!.uuidString

For older versions:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor

or if you want a string:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor!.UUIDString


There is no longer a way to uniquely identify a device after the user uninstalled the app(s). The documentation says:

The value in this property remains the same while the app (or another app from the same vendor) is installed on the iOS device. The value changes when the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and subsequently reinstalls one or more of them.


You may also want to read this article by Mattt Thompson for more details:
http://nshipster.com/uuid-udid-unique-identifier/

Update for Swift 4.1, you will need to use:

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

A Space between Inline-Block List Items

Another solution, similar to Gerbus' solution, but this also works with relative font sizing.

ul {
    letter-spacing: -1em; /* Effectively collapses white-space */
}
ul li {
    display: inline;
    letter-spacing: normal; /* Reset letter-spacing to normal value */
}

How to create text file and insert data to that file on Android

I'm using Kotlin here

Just adding the information in here, you can also create readable file outside Private Directory for the apps by doing this example

var teks="your teks"
var NamaFile="Text1.txt"
var strwrt:FileWriter
 strwrt=FileWriter(File("sdcard/${NamaFile}"))
            strwrt.write(teks)
            strwrt.close()

after that you can acces File Manager and look up on the Internal Storage. Text1.txt will be on there below all the folder.

CSS How to set div height 100% minus nPx

Use an outer wrapper div set to 100% and then your inner wrapper div 100% should be now relative to that.

I thought for sure this used to work for me, but apparently not:

<html>
<body>
<div id="outerwrapper" style="border : 1px solid red ; height : 100%">
<div id="header" style="border : 1px solid blue ; height : 60px"></div>
<div id="wrapper"  style="border : 1px solid green ; height : 100% ; overflow : scroll ;">
  <div id="left" style="height : 100% ; width : 50% ; overflow : scroll; float : left ; clear : left ;">Some text 

on the left</div>
  <div id="right" style="height : 100% ; width 50% ; overflow : scroll; float : left ;">Some Text on the 

right</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Access-control-allow-origin with multiple domains

You only need:

  • add a Global.asax to your project,
  • delete <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" /> from your web.config.

  • afterward, add this in the Application_BeginRequest method of Global.asax:

    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin","*");

if (HttpContext.Current.Request.HttpMethod == "OPTIONS")
{
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST,GET,OPTIONS,PUT,DELETE");
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Authorization, Accept");
    HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}

add an onclick event to a div

Is it possible to add onclick to a div and have it occur if any area of the div is clicked.

Yes … although it should be done with caution. Make sure there is some mechanism that allows keyboard access. Build on things that work

If yes then why is the onclick method not going through to my div.

You are assigning a string where a function is expected.

divTag.onclick = printWorking;

There are nicer ways to assign event handlers though, although older versions of Internet Explorer are sufficiently different that you should use a library to abstract it. There are plenty of very small event libraries and every major library jQuery) has event handling functionality.

That said, now it is 2019, older versions of Internet Explorer no longer exist in practice so you can go direct to addEventListener

Adding a favicon to a static HTML page

Actually, to make your favicon work in all browsers, you must have more than 10 images in the correct sizes and formats.

I created an App (faviconit.com) so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand.

Hope you like it.

C++ display stack trace on exception

I would like to add a standard library option (i.e. cross-platform) how to generate exception backtraces, which has become available with C++11:

Use std::nested_exception and std::throw_with_nested

This won't give you a stack unwind, but in my opinion the next best thing. It is described on StackOverflow here and here, how you can get a backtrace on your exceptions inside your code without need for a debugger or cumbersome logging, by simply writing a proper exception handler which will rethrow nested exceptions.

Since you can do this with any derived exception class, you can add a lot of information to such a backtrace! You may also take a look at my MWE on GitHub, where a backtrace would look something like this:

Library API: Exception caught in function 'api_function'
Backtrace:
~/Git/mwe-cpp-exception/src/detail/Library.cpp:17 : library_function failed
~/Git/mwe-cpp-exception/src/detail/Library.cpp:13 : could not open file "nonexistent.txt"

What does cv::normalize(_src, dst, 0, 255, NORM_MINMAX, CV_8UC1);

When the normType is NORM_MINMAX, cv::normalize normalizes _src in such a way that the min value of dst is alpha and max value of dst is beta. cv::normalize does its magic using only scales and shifts (i.e. adding constants and multiplying by constants).

CV_8UC1 says how many channels dst has.

The documentation here is pretty clear: http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/operations_on_arrays.html#normalize

You could use a script written with AutoIt, which blurs the line between using a traditional application and programming.

E.g. a script which opens notepad and makes their own computer insult them in it and via a message box, and then leaves no trace of its actions:

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("You smell of human.")
Sleep(10000)
MsgBox(0, "Humans smell bad", "Yuck!")
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save")
Send("!n")

How to display hidden characters by default (ZERO WIDTH SPACE ie. &#8203)

A very simple solution is to search your file(s) for non-ascii characters using a regular expression. This will nicely highlight all the spots where they are found with a border.

Search for [^\x00-\x7F] and check the box for Regex.

The result will look like this (in dark mode):

if (!$result) {
    echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
    exit;
}
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);

echo $row[0]; // 42
echo $row[1]; // the email value

HTML5 Email Validation

Using HTML 5,Just make the input email like :

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
<input type="email"/>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

When the user hovers over the input box, they will a tooltip instructing them to enter a valid email. However, Bootstrap forms have a much better Tooltip message to tell the user to enter an email address and it pops up the moment the value entered does not match a valid email.

Writing numerical values on the plot with Matplotlib

Use pyplot.text() (import matplotlib.pyplot as plt)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x=[1,2,3]
y=[9,8,7]

plt.plot(x,y)
for a,b in zip(x, y): 
    plt.text(a, b, str(b))
plt.show()

how to properly display an iFrame in mobile safari

If the iFrame content is not yours then the solution below will not work.

With Android all you need to do is to surround the iframe with a DIV and set the height on the div to document.documentElement.clientHeight. IOS, however, is a different animal. Although I have not yet tried Sharon's solution it does seem like a good solution. I did find a simpler solution but it only works with IOS 5.+.

Surround your iframe element with a DIV (lets call it scroller), set the height of the DIV and make sure that the new DIV has the following styling:

$('#scroller').css({'overflow' : 'auto', '-webkit-overflow-scrolling' : 'touch'});

This alone will work but you will notice that in most implementations the content in the iframe goes blank when scrolling and is basically rendered useless. My understanding is that this behavior has been reported as a bug to Apple as early as iOS 5.0. To get around that problem, find the body element in the iframe and add -webkit-transform', 'translate3d(0, 0, 0) like so:

$('#contentIframe').contents().find('body').css('-webkit-transform', 'translate3d(0, 0, 0)');

If your app or iframe is heavy on memory usage you might get a hitchy scroll for which you might need to use Sharon's solution.

How to use vertical align in bootstrap

http://jsfiddle.net/b9chris/zN39r/

HTML:

<div class="item row">
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6"><h4>This is some text.</h4></div>
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6"><h4>This is some more.</h4></div>
</div>

CSS:

div.item div h4 {
    height: 60px;
    vertical-align: middle;    
    display: table-cell;
}

Important notes:

  • The vertical-align: middle; display: table-cell; must be applied to a tag that has no Bootstrap classes applied; it cannot be a col-*, a row, etc.
  • This can't be done without this extra, possibly pointless tag in your HTML, unfortunately.
  • The backgrounds are unnecessary - they're just there for demo purposes. So, you don't need to apply any special rules to the row or col-* tags.
  • It is important to notice the inner tag does not stretch to 100% of the width of its parent; in our scenario this didn't matter but it may to you. If it does, you end up with something closer to some of the other answers here:

http://jsfiddle.net/b9chris/zN39r/1/

CSS:

div.item div {
    background: #fdd;
    table-layout: fixed;
    display: table;
}
div.item div h4 {
    height: 60px;
    vertical-align: middle;    
    display: table-cell;
    background: #eee;
}

Notice the added table-layout and display properties on the col-* tags. This must be applied to the tag(s) that have col-* applied; it won't help on other tags.

Java 'file.delete()' Is not Deleting Specified File

The problem could also be due to any output streams that you have forgotten to close. In my case I was working with the file before the file being deleted. However at one place in the file operations, I had forgotten to close an output stream that I used to write to the file that was attempted to delete later.

How can I use UIColorFromRGB in Swift?

If you're starting from a string (not hex) this is a function that takes a hex string and returns a UIColor.
(You can enter hex strings with either format: #ffffff or ffffff)

Usage:

var color1 = hexStringToUIColor("#d3d3d3")

Swift 4:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
        cString.remove(at: cString.startIndex)
    }

    if ((cString.count) != 6) {
        return UIColor.gray
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    Scanner(string: cString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

Swift 3:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
        cString.remove(at: cString.startIndex)
    }

    if ((cString.characters.count) != 6) {
        return UIColor.gray
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    Scanner(string: cString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

Swift 2:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet() as NSCharacterSet).uppercaseString

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
      cString = cString.substringFromIndex(cString.startIndex.advancedBy(1))
    }

    if ((cString.characters.count) != 6) {
      return UIColor.grayColor()
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    NSScanner(string: cString).scanHexInt(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

Reading and writing environment variables in Python?

Try using the os module.

import os

os.environ['DEBUSSY'] = '1'
os.environ['FSDB'] = '1'

# Open child processes via os.system(), popen() or fork() and execv()

someVariable = int(os.environ['DEBUSSY'])

See the Python docs on os.environ. Also, for spawning child processes, see Python's subprocess docs.

Adding a css class to select using @Html.DropDownList()

You can simply do this: 

@Html.DropDownList("PriorityID", null, new { @class="form-control"})

AngularJS ng-style with a conditional expression

simple example:

<div ng-style="isTrue && {'background-color':'green'} || {'background-color': 'blue'}" style="width:200px;height:100px;border:1px solid gray;"></div>

{'background-color':'green'} RETURN true

OR the same result: 

<div ng-style="isTrue && {'background-color':'green'}" style="width:200px;height:100px;border:1px solid gray;background-color: blue"></div>

other conditional possibility:

<div ng-style="count === 0 && {'background-color':'green'}  || count === 1 && {'background-color':'yellow'}" style="width:200px;height:100px;border:1px solid gray;background-color: blue"></div>

Moving from position A to position B slowly with animation

I don't understand why other answers are about relative coordinates change, not absolute like OP asked in title.

$("#Friends").animate( {top:
  "-=" + (parseInt($("#Friends").css("top")) - 100) + "px"
} );

undefined reference to WinMain@16 (codeblocks)

When there's no project, Code::Blocks only compiles and links the current file. That file, from your picture, is secrypt.cpp, which does not have a main function. In order to compile and link both source files, you'll need to do it manually or add them to the same project.

Contrary to what others are saying, using a Windows subsystem with main will still work, but there will be no console window.

Your other attempt, compiling and linking just trial.cpp, never links secrypt.cpp. This would normally result in an undefined reference to jRegister(), but you've declared the function inside main instead of calling it. Change main to:

int main()
{
    jRegister();

    return 0;
}

Adding header to all request with Retrofit 2

If you use addInterceptor method for add HttpLoggingInterceptor, it won't be logging the things that added by other interceptors applied later than HttpLoggingInterceptor.

For example: If you have two interceptors "HttpLoggingInterceptor" and "AuthInterceptor", and HttpLoggingInterceptor applied first, then you can't view the http-params or headers which set by AuthInterceptor.

OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.addNetworkInterceptor(logging)
.addInterceptor(new AuthInterceptor());

I solved it, via using addNetworkInterceptor method.

jQuery disable a link

Try this:

$("a").removeAttr('href');

EDIT-

From your updated code:

 var location= $('#link1').attr("href");
 $("#link1").removeAttr('href');
 $('ul').addClass('expanded');
 $('ul.expanded').fadeIn(300);
 $("#link1").attr("href", location);

Android SeekBar setOnSeekBarChangeListener

onProgressChanged() should be called on every progress changed, not just on first and last touch (that why you have onStartTrackingTouch() and onStopTrackingTouch() methods).

Make sure that your SeekBar have more than 1 value, that is to say your MAX>=3.

In your onCreate:

 yourSeekBar=(SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.yourSeekBar);
 yourSeekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new yourListener());

Your listener:

private class yourListener implements SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {

        public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress,
                boolean fromUser) {
                            // Log the progress
            Log.d("DEBUG", "Progress is: "+progress);
                            //set textView's text
            yourTextView.setText(""+progress);
        }

        public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {}

        public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {}

    }

Please share some code and the Log results for furter help.

Example using Hyperlink in WPF

If you want your application to open the link in a web browser you need to add a HyperLink with the RequestNavigate event set to a function that programmatically opens a web-browser with the address as a parameter.

<TextBlock>           
    <Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://www.google.com" RequestNavigate="Hyperlink_RequestNavigate">
        Click here
    </Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

In the code-behind you would need to add something similar to this to handle the RequestNavigate event:

private void Hyperlink_RequestNavigate(object sender, RequestNavigateEventArgs e)
{
    // for .NET Core you need to add UseShellExecute = true
    // see https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.processstartinfo.useshellexecute#property-value
    Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(e.Uri.AbsoluteUri));
    e.Handled = true;
}

In addition you will also need the following imports:

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Navigation;

It will look like this in your application:

How do I configure PyCharm to run py.test tests?

I'm using 2018.2

I do Run -> Edit Configurations... Then click the + in the upper left of the modal dialog. Select "python tests" -> py.test Then I give it a name like "All test with py.test"

I select Target: module name and put in the module where my tests are (that is 'tests' for me) or the module where all my code is if my tests are mixed in with my code. This was tripping me up.

I set the Python interpreter.

I set the working directory to the project directory.

Check if Internet Connection Exists with jQuery?

The best option for your specific case might be:

Right before your close </body> tag:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/vendor/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"><\/script>')</script>

This is probably the easiest way given that your issue is centered around jQuery.

If you wanted a more robust solution you could try:

var online = navigator.onLine;

Read more about the W3C's spec on offline web apps, however be aware that this will work best in modern web browsers, doing so with older web browsers may not work as expected, or at all.

Alternatively, an XHR request to your own server isn't that bad of a method for testing your connectivity. Considering one of the other answers state that there are too many points of failure for an XHR, if your XHR is flawed when establishing it's connection then it'll also be flawed during routine use anyhow. If your site is unreachable for any reason, then your other services running on the same servers will likely be unreachable also. That decision is up to you.

I wouldn't recommend making an XHR request to someone else's service, even google.com for that matter. Make the request to your server, or not at all.

What does it mean to be "online"?

There seems to be some confusion around what being "online" means. Consider that the internet is a bunch of networks, however sometimes you're on a VPN, without access to the internet "at-large" or the world wide web. Often companies have their own networks which have limited connectivity to other external networks, therefore you could be considered "online". Being online only entails that you are connected to a network, not the availability nor reachability of the services you are trying to connect to.

To determine if a host is reachable from your network, you could do this:

function hostReachable() {

  // Handle IE and more capable browsers
  var xhr = new ( window.ActiveXObject || XMLHttpRequest )( "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" );

  // Open new request as a HEAD to the root hostname with a random param to bust the cache
  xhr.open( "HEAD", "//" + window.location.hostname + "/?rand=" + Math.floor((1 + Math.random()) * 0x10000), false );

  // Issue request and handle response
  try {
    xhr.send();
    return ( xhr.status >= 200 && (xhr.status < 300 || xhr.status === 304) );
  } catch (error) {
    return false;
  }

}

You can also find the Gist for that here: https://gist.github.com/jpsilvashy/5725579

Details on local implementation

Some people have commented, "I'm always being returned false". That's because you're probably testing it out on your local server. Whatever server you're making the request to, you'll need to be able to respond to the HEAD request, that of course can be changed to a GET if you want.

javascript find and remove object in array based on key value

You can simplify this, and there's really no need for using jquery here.

var id = 88;

for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    if(data[i].id == id) {
        data.splice(i, 1);
        break;
    }
}

Just iterate through the list, find the matching id, splice, and then break to exit your loop

HTML 5 video or audio playlist

I optimized the javascript code from cameronjonesweb a little bit. Now you can just add the clips into the array. Everything else is done automatically.

<script>
var nextsrc = ["http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.mp4","http://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4"];
var elm = 0; var Player = document.getElementById('Player');
Player.onended = function(){
    if(++elm < nextsrc.length){         
         Player.src = nextsrc[elm]; Player.play();
    } 
}
</script>

How can I tell Moq to return a Task?

Your method doesn't have any callbacks so there is no reason to use .CallBack(). You can simply return a Task with the desired values using .Returns() and Task.FromResult, e.g.:

MyType someValue=...;
mock.Setup(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync())        
    .Returns(Task.FromResult(someValue));

Update 2014-06-22

Moq 4.2 has two new extension methods to assist with this.

mock.Setup(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync())
    .ReturnsAsync(someValue);

mock.Setup(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync())        
    .ThrowsAsync(new InvalidOperationException());

Update 2016-05-05

As Seth Flowers mentions in the other answer, ReturnsAsync is only available for methods that return a Task<T>. For methods that return only a Task, 

.Returns(Task.FromResult(default(object)))

can be used.

As shown in this answer, in .NET 4.6 this is simplified to .Returns(Task.CompletedTask);, e.g.:

mock.Setup(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync())        
    .Returns(Task.CompletedTask);

Synchronization vs Lock

If you're simply locking an object, I'd prefer to use synchronized

Example:

Lock.acquire();
doSomethingNifty(); // Throws a NPE!
Lock.release(); // Oh noes, we never release the lock!

You have to explicitly do try{} finally{} everywhere.

Whereas with synchronized, it's super clear and impossible to get wrong:

synchronized(myObject) {
    doSomethingNifty();
}

That said, Locks may be more useful for more complicated things where you can't acquire and release in such a clean manner. I would honestly prefer to avoid using bare Locks in the first place, and just go with a more sophisticated concurrency control such as a CyclicBarrier or a LinkedBlockingQueue, if they meet your needs.

I've never had a reason to use wait() or notify() but there may be some good ones.

Last executed queries for a specific database

This works for me to find queries on any database in the instance. I'm sysadmin on the instance (check your privileges):

SELECT deqs.last_execution_time AS [Time], dest.text AS [Query], dest.*
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest
WHERE dest.dbid = DB_ID('msdb')
ORDER BY deqs.last_execution_time DESC

This is the same answer that Aaron Bertrand provided but it wasn't placed in an answer.

error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier

I have seen that if you use

#include <iostream.h>

then you will get the problem.

If you use 

#include <iostream>

(notice - without the .h)

then you will not get the problem you mentioned.

SQL "between" not inclusive

You need to do one of these two options:

  1. Include the time component in your between condition: ... where created_at between '2013-05-01 00:00:00' and '2013-05-01 23:59:59' (not recommended... see the last paragraph)
  2. Use inequalities instead of between. Notice that then you'll have to add one day to the second value: ... where (created_at >= '2013-05-01' and created_at < '2013-05-02')

My personal preference is the second option. Also, Aaron Bertrand has a very clear explanation on why it should be used.

How to create Select List for Country and States/province in MVC

Designing You Model:

Public class ModelName
{
    ...// Properties
    public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ListName { get; set; }
}

Prepare and bind List to Model in Controller :

    public ActionResult Index(ModelName model)
    {
        var items = // Your List of data
        model.ListName = items.Select(x=> new SelectListItem() {
                    Text = x.prop,
                    Value = x.prop2
               });
    }

In You View :

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => Model.prop2,Model.ListName)

How do you change the character encoding of a postgres database?

First off, Daniel's answer is the correct, safe option.

For the specific case of changing from SQL_ASCII to something else, you can cheat and simply poke the pg_database catalogue to reassign the database encoding. This assumes you've already stored any non-ASCII characters in the expected encoding (or that you simply haven't used any non-ASCII characters).

Then you can do:

update pg_database set encoding = pg_char_to_encoding('UTF8') where datname = 'thedb'

This will not change the collation of the database, just how the encoded bytes are converted into characters (so now length('£123') will return 4 instead of 5). If the database uses 'C' collation, there should be no change to ordering for ASCII strings. You'll likely need to rebuild any indices containing non-ASCII characters though.

Caveat emptor. Dumping and reloading provides a way to check your database content is actually in the encoding you expect, and this doesn't. And if it turns out you did have some wrongly-encoded data in the database, rescuing is going to be difficult. So if you possibly can, dump and reinitialise.

Java generating Strings with placeholders

If you can change the format of your placeholder, you could use String.format(). If not, you could also replace it as pre-processing.

String.format("hello %s!", "world");

Bootstrap: How do I identify the Bootstrap version?

That comment looks like it is a custom version of Bootstrap v2.3.3, here is the default header in the .css, notice the last comment line:

/*!
 * Bootstrap v2.3.2
 *
 * Copyright 2013 Twitter, Inc
 * Licensed under the Apache License v2.0
 * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
 *
 * Designed and built with all the love in the world by @mdo and @fat.
 */

What are you trying to accomplish? If it's customization then you have a set of files to work with though that seems like a bad idea. Otherwise, I would suggest going with the full build of v4.1.x since that is the current release.

Send a ping to each IP on a subnet

Under linux, I think ping -b 192.168.1.255 will work (192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address for 192.168.1.*) however IIRC that doesn't work under windows.

How to change Apache Tomcat web server port number

You need to edit the Tomcat/conf/server.xml and change the connector port. The connector setting should look something like this:

<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
           maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
           enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
           connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

Just change the connector port from default 8080 to another valid port number.

In Java, how do I convert a byte array to a string of hex digits while keeping leading zeros?

In order to keep leading zeroes, here is a small variation on what has Paul suggested (eg md5 hash):

public static String MD5hash(String text) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException {
    byte[] hash = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest(text.getBytes());
    return String.format("%032x",new BigInteger(1, hash));
}

Oops, this looks poorer than what's Ayman proposed, sorry for that

Debugging Spring configuration

If you use Spring Boot, you can also enable a “debug” mode by starting your application with a --debug flag.

java -jar myapp.jar --debug

You can also specify debug=true in your application.properties.

When the debug mode is enabled, a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate, and Spring Boot) are configured to output more information. Enabling the debug mode does not configure your application to log all messages with DEBUG level.

Alternatively, you can enable a “trace” mode by starting your application with a --trace flag (or trace=true in your application.properties). Doing so enables trace logging for a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate schema generation, and the whole Spring portfolio).

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-logging.html

What is the argument for printf that formats a long?

In case you're looking to print unsigned long long as I was, use:

unsigned long long n;
printf("%llu", n);

For all other combinations, I believe you use the table from the printf manual, taking the row, then column label for whatever type you're trying to print (as I do with printf("%llu", n) above).

Set database timeout in Entity Framework

For Database first Aproach:

We can still set it in a constructor, by override the ContextName.Context.tt T4 Template this way:

<#=Accessibility.ForType(container)#> partial class <#=code.Escape(container)#> : DbContext
{
    public <#=code.Escape(container)#>()
        : base("name=<#=container.Name#>")
    {
        Database.CommandTimeout = 180;
<#
if (!loader.IsLazyLoadingEnabled(container))
{
#>
        this.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
<#
}

Database.CommandTimeout = 180; is the acutaly change.

The generated output is this:

public ContextName() : base("name=ContextName")
{
    Database.CommandTimeout = 180;

How do I add to the Windows PATH variable using setx? Having weird problems

Without admin rights the only way that worked for me is a bat file that contains the following code:

for /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%f IN ('reg query HKCU\Environment /v PATH ^| findstr /i path') do set OLD_SYSTEM_PATH=%%g
setx PATH "%USERPROFILE%\wev-tools;%OLD_SYSTEM_PATH%"

The code is the combination of the answers https://stackoverflow.com/a/45566845/4717152 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/10292113/4717152

Why is Java Vector (and Stack) class considered obsolete or deprecated?

Vector synchronizes on each individual operation. That's almost never what you want to do.

Generally you want to synchronize a whole sequence of operations. Synchronizing individual operations is both less safe (if you iterate over a Vector, for instance, you still need to take out a lock to avoid anyone else changing the collection at the same time, which would cause a ConcurrentModificationException in the iterating thread) but also slower (why take out a lock repeatedly when once will be enough)?

Of course, it also has the overhead of locking even when you don't need to.

Basically, it's a very flawed approach to synchronization in most situations. As Mr Brian Henk pointed out, you can decorate a collection using the calls such as Collections.synchronizedList - the fact that Vector combines both the "resized array" collection implementation with the "synchronize every operation" bit is another example of poor design; the decoration approach gives cleaner separation of concerns.

As for a Stack equivalent - I'd look at Deque/ArrayDeque to start with.

Location of Django logs and errors

Logs are set in your settings.py file. A new, default project, looks like this:

# A sample logging configuration. The only tangible logging
# performed by this configuration is to send an email to
# the site admins on every HTTP 500 error when DEBUG=False.
# See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/logging for
# more details on how to customize your logging configuration.
LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'filters': {
        'require_debug_false': {
            '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse'
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'mail_admins': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
            'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    }
}

By default, these don't create log files. If you want those, you need to add a filename parameter to your handlers

    'applogfile': {
        'level':'DEBUG',
        'class':'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
        'filename': os.path.join(DJANGO_ROOT, 'APPNAME.log'),
        'maxBytes': 1024*1024*15, # 15MB
        'backupCount': 10,
    },

This will set up a rotating log that can get 15 MB in size and keep 10 historical versions.

In the loggers section from above, you need to add applogfile to the handlers for your application

'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': True,
        },
        'APPNAME': {
            'handlers': ['applogfile',],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
        },
    }

This example will put your logs in your Django root in a file named APPNAME.log

Pass variables by reference in JavaScript

Actually it is really easy. The problem is understanding that once passing classic arguments, you are scoped into another, read-only zone.

The solution is to pass the arguments using JavaScript's object-oriented design. It is the same as putting the arguments in a global/scoped variable, but better...

function action(){
  /* Process this.arg, modification allowed */
}

action.arg = [["empty-array"], "some string", 0x100, "last argument"];
action();

You can also promise stuff up to enjoy the well-known chain: Here is the whole thing, with promise-like structure

function action(){
  /* Process this.arg, modification allowed */
  this.arg = ["a", "b"];
}

action.setArg = function(){this.arg = arguments; return this;}

action.setArg(["empty-array"], "some string", 0x100, "last argument")()

Or better yet...

action.setArg(["empty-array"],"some string",0x100,"last argument").call()

How can I use nohup to run process as a background process in linux?

  • Use screen: Start screen, start your script, press Ctrl+A, D. Reattach with screen -r.

  • Make a script that takes your "1" as a parameter, run nohup yourscript:

    #!/bin/bash
(time bash executeScript $1 input fileOutput $> scrOutput) &> timeUse.txt

How to perform a LEFT JOIN in SQL Server between two SELECT statements?

 
SELECT [UserID] FROM [User] u LEFT JOIN (
SELECT [TailUser], [Weight] FROM [Edge] WHERE [HeadUser] = 5043) t on t.TailUser=u.USerID

Python initializing a list of lists

The problem is that they're all the same exact list in memory. When you use the [x]*n syntax, what you get is a list of n many x objects, but they're all references to the same object. They're not distinct instances, rather, just n references to the same instance.

To make a list of 3 different lists, do this:

x = [[] for i in range(3)]

This gives you 3 separate instances of [], which is what you want

[[]]*n is similar to

l = []
x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append(l)

While [[] for i in range(3)] is similar to:

x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append([])   # appending a new list!

In [20]: x = [[]] * 4

In [21]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[21]: [164363948, 164363948, 164363948, 164363948] # same id()'s for each list,i.e same object


In [22]: x=[[] for i in range(4)]

In [23]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[23]: [164382060, 164364140, 164363628, 164381292] #different id(), i.e unique objects this time

Service located in another namespace

To access services in two different namespaces you can use url like this:

HTTP://<your-service-name>.<namespace-with-that-service>.svc.cluster.local

To list out all your namespaces you can use:

kubectl get namespace

And for service in that namespace you can simply use:

kubectl get services -n <namespace-name>

this will help you.

How to get all the AD groups for a particular user?

The following example is from the Code Project article, (Almost) Everything In Active Directory via C#:

// userDn is a Distinguished Name such as:
// "LDAP://CN=Joe Smith,OU=Sales,OU=domain,OU=com"
public ArrayList Groups(string userDn, bool recursive)
{
    ArrayList groupMemberships = new ArrayList();
    return AttributeValuesMultiString("memberOf", userDn,
        groupMemberships, recursive);
}

public ArrayList AttributeValuesMultiString(string attributeName,
     string objectDn, ArrayList valuesCollection, bool recursive)
{
    DirectoryEntry ent = new DirectoryEntry(objectDn);
    PropertyValueCollection ValueCollection = ent.Properties[attributeName];
    IEnumerator en = ValueCollection.GetEnumerator();

    while (en.MoveNext())
    {
        if (en.Current != null)
        {
            if (!valuesCollection.Contains(en.Current.ToString()))
            {
                valuesCollection.Add(en.Current.ToString());
                if (recursive)
                {
                    AttributeValuesMultiString(attributeName, "LDAP://" +
                    en.Current.ToString(), valuesCollection, true);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    ent.Close();
    ent.Dispose();
    return valuesCollection;
}

Just call the Groups method with the Distinguished Name for the user, and pass in the bool flag to indicate if you want to include nested / child groups memberships in your resulting ArrayList:

ArrayList groups = Groups("LDAP://CN=Joe Smith,OU=Sales,OU=domain,OU=com", true);
foreach (string groupName in groups)
{
    Console.WriteLine(groupName);
}

If you need to do any serious level of Active Directory programming in .NET I highly recommend bookmarking & reviewing the Code Project article I mentioned above.
