How to redirect to another page using AngularJS?

If you want to use a link then: in the html have:

<button type="button" id="btnOpenLine" class="btn btn-default btn-sm" ng-click="orderMaster.openLineItems()">Order Line Items</button>

in the typescript file

public openLineItems() {
if (this.$stateParams.id == 0) {
    this.Flash.create('warning', "Need to save order!", 3000);
    return
}
this.$window.open('#/orderLineitems/' + this.$stateParams.id);

}

I hope you see this example helpful as it was for me along with the other answers.

The type is defined in an assembly that is not referenced, how to find the cause?

It just happened to me that different projects were referencing different copies of the same dll. I made sure all referenced the same file on disk, and the error disappeared as I expected.

How to use comparison operators like >, =, < on BigDecimal

To be short:

firstBigDecimal.compareTo(secondBigDecimal) < 0 // "<"
firstBigDecimal.compareTo(secondBigDecimal) > 0 // ">"    
firstBigDecimal.compareTo(secondBigDecimal) == 0 // "=="  
firstBigDecimal.compareTo(secondBigDecimal) >= 0 // ">="    

Get pixel color from canvas, on mousemove

Here's a complete, self-contained example. First, use the following HTML:

<canvas id="example" width="200" height="60"></canvas>
<div id="status"></div>

Then put some squares on the canvas with random background colors:

var example = document.getElementById('example');
var context = example.getContext('2d');
context.fillStyle = randomColor();
context.fillRect(0, 0, 50, 50);
context.fillStyle = randomColor();
context.fillRect(55, 0, 50, 50);
context.fillStyle = randomColor();
context.fillRect(110, 0, 50, 50);

And print each color on mouseover:

$('#example').mousemove(function(e) {
    var pos = findPos(this);
    var x = e.pageX - pos.x;
    var y = e.pageY - pos.y;
    var coord = "x=" + x + ", y=" + y;
    var c = this.getContext('2d');
    var p = c.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data; 
    var hex = "#" + ("000000" + rgbToHex(p[0], p[1], p[2])).slice(-6);
    $('#status').html(coord + "<br>" + hex);
});

The code above assumes the presence of jQuery and the following utility functions:

function findPos(obj) {
    var curleft = 0, curtop = 0;
    if (obj.offsetParent) {
        do {
            curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
            curtop += obj.offsetTop;
        } while (obj = obj.offsetParent);
        return { x: curleft, y: curtop };
    }
    return undefined;
}

function rgbToHex(r, g, b) {
    if (r > 255 || g > 255 || b > 255)
        throw "Invalid color component";
    return ((r << 16) | (g << 8) | b).toString(16);
}

function randomInt(max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * max);
}

function randomColor() {
    return `rgb(${randomInt(256)}, ${randomInt(256)}, ${randomInt(256)})`
}

How to get the number of characters in a std::string?

It depends on what string type you're talking about. There are many types of strings:

  1. const char* - a C-style multibyte string
  2. const wchar_t* - a C-style wide string
  3. std::string - a "standard" multibyte string
  4. std::wstring - a "standard" wide string

For 3 and 4, you can use .size() or .length() methods.

For 1, you can use strlen(), but you must ensure that the string variable is not NULL (=== 0)

For 2, you can use wcslen(), but you must ensure that the string variable is not NULL (=== 0)

There are other string types in non-standard C++ libraries, such as MFC's CString, ATL's CComBSTR, ACE's ACE_CString, and so on, with methods such as .GetLength(), and so on. I can't remember the specifics of them all right off the top of my head.

The STLSoft libraries have abstracted this all out with what they call string access shims, which can be used to get the string length (and other aspects) from any type. So for all of the above (including the non-standard library ones) using the same function stlsoft::c_str_len(). This article describes how it all works, as it's not all entirely obvious or easy.

What is an AssertionError? In which case should I throw it from my own code?

Of course the "You shall not instantiate an item of this class" statement has been violated, but if this is the logic behind that, then we should all throw AssertionErrors everywhere, and that is obviously not what happens.

The code isn't saying the user shouldn't call the zero-args constructor. The assertion is there to say that as far as the programmer is aware, he/she has made it impossible to call the zero-args constructor (in this case by making it private and not calling it from within Example's code). And so if a call occurs, that assertion has been violated, and so AssertionError is appropriate.

Sheet.getRange(1,1,1,12) what does the numbers in bracket specify?

Found these docu on the google docu pages:

  • row --- int --- top row of the range
  • column --- int--- leftmost column of the range
  • optNumRows --- int --- number of rows in the range.
  • optNumColumns --- int --- number of columns in the range

In your example, you would get (if you picked the 3rd row) "C3:O3", cause C --> O is 12 columns

edit

Using the example on the docu:

// The code below will get the number of columns for the range C2:G8
// in the active spreadsheet, which happens to be "4"
var count = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(2, 3, 6, 4).getNumColumns(); Browser.msgBox(count);

The values between brackets:
2: the starting row = 2
3: the starting col = C
6: the number of rows = 6 so from 2 to 8
4: the number of cols = 4 so from C to G

So you come to the range: C2:G8

open() in Python does not create a file if it doesn't exist

'''

a  append mode

w+  create file if it doesn't exist and open it in write mode
r+  open for reading and writing. Does not create file.
a+  create file if it doesn't exist and open it in append mode
'''

example:

file_name = 'my_file.txt'
f = open(file_name, 'w+')  # open file in write mode
f.write('python rules')
f.close()

I hope this helps. [FYI am using python version 3.6.2]

How to revert a merge commit that's already pushed to remote branch?

This is a very old thread, but I am missing another in my opinion convenient solution:

I never revert a merge. I just create another branch from the revision where everything was ok and then cherry pick everything that needs to picked from the old branch which was added in between.

So, if the GIT history is like this:

  • d
  • c
  • b <<< the merge
  • a
  • ...

I create a new branch from a, cherry pick c and d and then the new branch is clear from b. I can ever decide to do the merge of "b" in my new branch again. The old branch becomes deprecated and will be deleted if "b" is not necessary anymore or still in another (feature/hotfix) branch.

The only problem is now one of the very hardest things in computer science: How do you name the new branch? ;)

Ok, if you failed esp. in devel, you create newdevel as mentioned above, delete old devel and rename newdevel to devel. Mission accomplished. You can now merge the changes again when you want. It is like never merged before....

Confirmation dialog on ng-click - AngularJS

A clean directive approach.

Update: Old Answer (2014)

It basically intercepts the ng-click event, displays the message contained in the ng-confirm-click="message" directive and asks the user to confirm. If confirm is clicked the normal ng-click executes, if not the script terminates and ng-click is not run.

<!-- index.html -->
<button ng-click="publish()" ng-confirm-click="You are about to overwrite your PUBLISHED content!! Are you SURE you want to publish?">
  Publish
</button>
// /app/directives/ng-confirm-click.js
Directives.directive('ngConfirmClick', [
  function(){
    return {
      priority: -1,
      restrict: 'A',
      link: function(scope, element, attrs){
        element.bind('click', function(e){
          var message = attrs.ngConfirmClick;
          // confirm() requires jQuery
          if(message && !confirm(message)){
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
            e.preventDefault();
          }
        });
      }
    }
  }
]);

Code credit to Zach Snow: http://zachsnow.com/#!/blog/2013/confirming-ng-click/

Update: New Answer (2016)

1) Changed prefix from 'ng' to 'mw' as the former ('ng') is reserved for native angular directives.

2) Modified directive to pass a function and message instead of intercepting ng-click event.

3) Added default "Are you sure?" message in the case that a custom message is not provided to mw-confirm-click-message="".

<!-- index.html -->
<button mw-confirm-click="publish()" mw-confirm-click-message="You are about to overwrite your PUBLISHED content!! Are you SURE you want to publish?">
  Publish
</button>
// /app/directives/mw-confirm-click.js
"use strict";

var module = angular.module( "myApp" );
module.directive( "mwConfirmClick", [
  function( ) {
    return {
      priority: -1,
      restrict: 'A',
      scope: { confirmFunction: "&mwConfirmClick" },
      link: function( scope, element, attrs ){
        element.bind( 'click', function( e ){
          // message defaults to "Are you sure?"
          var message = attrs.mwConfirmClickMessage ? attrs.mwConfirmClickMessage : "Are you sure?";
          // confirm() requires jQuery
          if( confirm( message ) ) {
            scope.confirmFunction();
          }
        });
      }
    }
  }
]);

How do I create a link to add an entry to a calendar?

The links in Dave's post are great. Just to put a few technical details about the google links into an answer here on SO:

Google Calendar Link

<a href="http://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&text=Example%20Event&dates=20131124T010000Z/20131124T020000Z&details=Event%20Details%20Here&location=123%20Main%20St%2C%20Example%2C%20NY">Add to gCal</a>

the parameters being:

  • action=TEMPLATE (required)
  • text (url encoded name of the event)
  • dates (ISO date format, startdate/enddate - must have both start and end time - the button generator will let you leave the endtime blank, but you must have one or it won't work.)
    • to use the user's timezone: 20131208T160000/20131208T180000
    • to use global time, convert to UTC, then use 20131208T160000Z/20131208T180000Z
    • all day events, you can use 20131208/20131209 - note that the button generator gets it wrong. You must use the following date as the end date for a one day all day event, or +1 day to whatever you want the end date to be.
  • details (url encoded event description/details)
  • location (url encoded location of the event - make sure it's an address google maps can read easily)

Update Feb 2018:

Here's a new link structure that seems to support the new google version of google calendar w/o requiring API interaction:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/eventedit?text=My+Custom+Event&dates=20180512T230000Z/20180513T030000Z&details=For+details,+link+here:+https://example.com/tickets-43251101208&location=Garage+Boston+-+20+Linden+Street+-+Allston,+MA+02134

New base url: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/eventedit

New parameters:

  • text (name of the event)
  • dates (ISO date format, startdate/enddate - must have both start and end time)
    • an event w/ start/end times: 20131208T160000/20131208T180000
    • all day events, you can use 20131208/20131209 - end date must be +1 day to whatever you want the end date to be.
  • ctz (timezone such as America/New_York - leave blank to use the user's default timezone. Highly recommended to include this in almost all situations. For example, a reminder for a video conference: if three people in different timezones clicked this link and set a reminder for their "own" Tuesday at 10:00am, this would not work out well.)
  • details (url encoded event description/details)
  • location (url encoded location of the event - make sure it's an address google maps can read easily)
  • add (comma separated list of emails - adds guests to your new event)

Notes:

  • the old url structure above now redirects here
  • supports https
  • deals w/ timezones better
  • accepts + for space in addition to %20 (urlencode vs rawurlencode in php - both work)

Call to a member function on a non-object

It could also mean that when you initialized your object, you may have re-used the object name in another part of your code. Therefore changing it's aspect from an object to a standard variable.

IE

$game = new game;

$game->doGameStuff($gameReturn);

foreach($gameArray as $game)
{
   $game['STUFF']; // No longer an object and is now a standard variable pointer for $game.
}



$game->doGameStuff($gameReturn);  // Wont work because $game is declared as a standard variable.  You need to be careful when using common variable names and were they are declared in your code.

How can I get the key value in a JSON object?

When you parse the JSON representation, it'll become a JavaScript array of objects.

Because of this, you can use the .length property of the JavaScript array to see how many elements are contained, and use a for loop to enumerate it.

How to make a promise from setTimeout

Update (2017)

Here in 2017, Promises are built into JavaScript, they were added by the ES2015 spec (polyfills are available for outdated environments like IE8-IE11). The syntax they went with uses a callback you pass into the Promise constructor (the Promise executor) which receives the functions for resolving/rejecting the promise as arguments.

First, since async now has a meaning in JavaScript (even though it's only a keyword in certain contexts), I'm going to use later as the name of the function to avoid confusion.

Basic Delay

Using native promises (or a faithful polyfill) it would look like this:

function later(delay) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
        setTimeout(resolve, delay);
    });
}

Note that that assumes a version of setTimeout that's compliant with the definition for browsers where setTimeout doesn't pass any arguments to the callback unless you give them after the interval (this may not be true in non-browser environments, and didn't used to be true on Firefox, but is now; it's true on Chrome and even back on IE8).

Basic Delay with Value

If you want your function to optionally pass a resolution value, on any vaguely-modern browser that allows you to give extra arguments to setTimeout after the delay and then passes those to the callback when called, you can do this (current Firefox and Chrome; IE11+, presumably Edge; not IE8 or IE9, no idea about IE10):

function later(delay, value) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
        setTimeout(resolve, delay, value); // Note the order, `delay` before `value`
        /* Or for outdated browsers that don't support doing that:
        setTimeout(function() {
            resolve(value);
        }, delay);
        Or alternately:
        setTimeout(resolve.bind(null, value), delay);
        */
    });
}

If you're using ES2015+ arrow functions, that can be more concise:

function later(delay, value) {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay, value));
}

or even

const later = (delay, value) =>
    new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay, value));

Cancellable Delay with Value

If you want to make it possible to cancel the timeout, you can't just return a promise from later, because promises can't be cancelled.

But we can easily return an object with a cancel method and an accessor for the promise, and reject the promise on cancel:

const later = (delay, value) => {
    let timer = 0;
    let reject = null;
    const promise = new Promise((resolve, _reject) => {
        reject = _reject;
        timer = setTimeout(resolve, delay, value);
    });
    return {
        get promise() { return promise; },
        cancel() {
            if (timer) {
                clearTimeout(timer);
                timer = 0;
                reject();
                reject = null;
            }
        }
    };
};

Original Answer from 2014

Usually you'll have a promise library (one you write yourself, or one of the several out there). That library will usually have an object that you can create and later "resolve," and that object will have a "promise" you can get from it.

Then later would tend to look something like this:

function later() {
    var p = new PromiseThingy();
    setTimeout(function() {
        p.resolve();
    }, 2000);

    return p.promise(); // Note we're not returning `p` directly
}

In a comment on the question, I asked:

Are you trying to create your own promise library?

and you said

I wasn't but I guess now that's actually what I was trying to understand. That how a library would do it

To aid that understanding, here's a very very basic example, which isn't remotely Promises-A compliant: Live Copy

<!DOCTYPE html>

      // ==== Very basic promise implementation, not remotely Promises-A compliant, just a very basic example
      var PromiseThingy = (function() {

        // Internal - trigger a callback
        function triggerCallback(callback, promise) {
          try {
            callback(promise.resolvedValue);
          }
          catch (e) {
          }
        }

        // The internal promise constructor, we don't share this
        function Promise() {
          this.callbacks = [];
        }

        // Register a 'then' callback
        Promise.prototype.then = function(callback) {
          var thispromise = this;

          if (!this.resolved) {
            // Not resolved yet, remember the callback
            this.callbacks.push(callback);
          }
          else {
            // Resolved; trigger callback right away, but always async

Extract public/private key from PKCS12 file for later use in SSH-PK-Authentication

Update: I noticed that my answer was just a poor duplicate of a well explained question on https://unix.stackexchange.com/... by BryKKan

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on localhost (10061)

Check Mysqld.exe file is in your bin folder. if it is not there , just copy that file from any other computer and paste it on your bin folder.Just double click. Then run mysql.its solved

SQL grouping by all the columns

If you are using SqlServer the distinct keyword should work for you. (Not sure about other databases)

declare @t table (a int , b int)

insert into @t (a,b) select 1, 1
insert into @t (a,b) select 1, 2
insert into @t (a,b) select 1, 1

select distinct * from @t

results in

a b
1 1
1 2

How do you kill all current connections to a SQL Server 2005 database?

Another "kill it with fire" approach is to just restart the MSSQLSERVER service. I like to do stuff from the commandline. Pasting this exactly into CMD will do it: NET STOP MSSQLSERVER & NET START MSSQLSERVER

Or open "services.msc" and find "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" and right-click, select "restart".

This will "for sure, for sure" kill ALL connections to ALL databases running on that instance.

(I like this better than many approaches that change and change back the configuration on the server/database)

How to get Text BOLD in Alert or Confirm box?

The alert() dialog is not rendered in HTML, and thus the HTML you have embedded is meaningless.

You'd need to use a custom modal to achieve that.

Resolving a Git conflict with binary files

You have to resolve the conflict manually (copying the file over) and then commit the file (no matter if you copied it over or used the local version) like this

git commit -a -m "Fix merge conflict in test.foo"

Git normally autocommits after merging, but when it detects conflicts it cannot solve by itself, it applies all patches it figured out and leaves the rest for you to resolve and commit manually. The Git Merge Man Page, the Git-SVN Crash Course or this blog entry might shed some light on how it's supposed to work.

Edit: See the post below, you don't actually have to copy the files yourself, but can use

git checkout --ours -- path/to/file.txt
git checkout --theirs -- path/to/file.txt

to select the version of the file you want. Copying / editing the file will only be necessary if you want a mix of both versions.

How to add 10 minutes to my (String) time?

You have a plenty of easy approaches within above answers. This is just another idea. You can convert it to millisecond and add the TimeZoneOffset and add / deduct the mins/hours/days etc by milliseconds.

String myTime = "14:10";
int minsToAdd = 10;
Date date = new Date();
date.setTime((((Integer.parseInt(myTime.split(":")[0]))*60 + (Integer.parseInt(myTime.split(":")[1])))+ date1.getTimezoneOffset())*60000);
System.out.println(date.getHours() + ":"+date.getMinutes());
date.setTime(date.getTime()+ minsToAdd *60000);
System.out.println(date.getHours() + ":"+date.getMinutes());

Output :

14:10
14:20

fail to change placeholder color with Bootstrap 3

Bootstrap has 3 lines of CSS, within your bootstrap.css generated file that control the placeholder text color:

.form-control::-moz-placeholder {
  color: #999999;
  opacity: 1;
}
.form-control:-ms-input-placeholder {
  color: #999999;
}
.form-control::-webkit-input-placeholder {
  color: #999999;
}

Now if you add this to your own CSS file it won't override bootstrap's because it is less specific. So assmuning your form inside a then add that to your CSS:

form .form-control::-moz-placeholder {
  color: #fff;
  opacity: 1;
}
form .form-control:-ms-input-placeholder {
  color: #fff;
}
form .form-control::-webkit-input-placeholder {
  color: #fff;
}

Voila that will override bootstrap's CSS.

How to search and replace text in a file?

My variant, one word at a time on the entire file.

I read it into memory.

def replace_word(infile,old_word,new_word):
    if not os.path.isfile(infile):
        print ("Error on replace_word, not a regular file: "+infile)
        sys.exit(1)

    f1=open(infile,'r').read()
    f2=open(infile,'w')
    m=f1.replace(old_word,new_word)
    f2.write(m)

Composer: The requested PHP extension ext-intl * is missing from your system

This is bit old question but I had faced same problem on linux base server while installing magento 2.

When I am firing composer update or composer install command from my magento root dir. Its was firing below error.

Problem 1
    - The requested PHP extension ext-intl * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's intl extension.
  Problem 2
    - The requested PHP extension ext-mbstring * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's mbstring extension.
  Problem 3
    - Installation request for pelago/emogrifier 0.1.1 -> satisfiable by pelago/emogrifier[v0.1.1].
    - pelago/emogrifier v0.1.1 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.
   ...

Then, I searched for the available intl & intl extensions, using below commands.

yum list php*intl
yum install php-intl.x86_64  

yum list php*mbstring
yum install php-mbstring.x86_64

And it fixed the issue.

Class 'App\Http\Controllers\DB' not found and I also cannot use a new Model

I like to do this witch i think is cleaner :

1 - Add the model to namespace:

use App\Employee;

2 - then you can do :

$employees = Employee::get();

or maybe somthing like this:

$employee = Employee::where('name', 'John')->first();

Quickly getting to YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS in Perl

Use strftime in the standard POSIX module. The arguments to strftime in Perl’s binding were designed to align with the return values from localtime and gmtime. Compare

strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday = -1, yday = -1, isdst = -1)

with

my          ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,     $yday,     $isdst) = gmtime(time);

Example command-line use is

$ perl -MPOSIX -le 'print strftime "%F %T", localtime $^T'

or from a source file as in

use POSIX;

print strftime "%F %T", localtime time;

Some systems do not support the %F and %T shorthands, so you will have to be explicit with

print strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime time;

or

print strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", gmtime time;

Note that time returns the current time when called whereas $^T is fixed to the time when your program started. With gmtime, the return value is the current time in GMT. Retrieve time in your local timezone with localtime.

configuring project ':app' failed to find Build Tools revision

It happens because Build Tools revision 24.4.1 doesn't exist.

The latest version is 23.0.2.
These tools is included in the SDK package and installed in the <sdk>/build-tools/ directory.

Don't confuse the Android SDK Tools with SDK Build Tools.

Change in your build.gradle

android {
   buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

}

What is the difference between NULL, '\0' and 0?

"NUL" is not 0, but refers to the ASCII NUL character. At least, that's how I've seen it used. The null pointer is often defined as 0, but this depends on the environment you are running in, and the specification of whatever operating system or language you are using.

In ANSI C, the null pointer is specified as the integer value 0. So any world where that's not true is not ANSI C compliant.

bootstrap 3 tabs not working properly

for some weird reason bootstrap tabs were not working for me until i was using href like:-

<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#a" data-toggle="tab">First</a></li>

but it started working as soon as i replaced href with data-target like:-

<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" data-target="#a" data-toggle="tab">First</a></li>

Initialize static variables in C++ class?

Some answers seem to be a little misleading.

You don't have to ...

  • Assign a value to some static object when initializing, because assigning a value is Optional.
  • Create another .cpp file for initializing since it can be done in the same Header file.

Also, you can even initialize a static object in the same class scope just like a normal variable using the inline keyword.


Initialize with no values in the same file

#include <string>
class A
{
    static std::string str;
    static int x;
};
std::string A::str;
int A::x;

Initialize with values in the same file

#include <string>
class A
{
    static std::string str;
    static int x;
};
std::string A::str = "SO!";
int A::x = 900;

Initialize in the same class scope using the inline keyword

#include <string>
class A
{
    static inline std::string str = "SO!";
    static inline int x = 900;
};

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

You can do this with a LinearLayout or a ScrollView, too. Sometimes it is easier to implement than a RelativeLayout. The only thing you need to do is to add the following view before the Views you want to align to the bottom of the screen:

<View
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

This creates an empty view, filling the empty space and pushing the next views to the bottom of the screen.

What are the different usecases of PNG vs. GIF vs. JPEG vs. SVG?

png has a wider color pallete than gif and gif is properitary while png is not. gif can do animations, what normal-png cannot. png-transparency is only supported by browser roughly more recent than IE6, but there is a Javascript fix for that problem. Both support alpha transparency. In general I would say that you should use png for most webgraphics while using jpeg for photos, screenshots, or similiar because png compression does not work too good on thoose.

null check in jsf expression language

Use empty (it checks both nullness and emptiness) and group the nested ternary expression by parentheses (EL is in certain implementations/versions namely somewhat problematic with nested ternary expressions). Thus, so:

styleClass="#{empty obj.validationErrorMap ? ' ' :  
 (obj.validationErrorMap.contains('key') ? 'highlight_field' : 'highlight_row')}"

If still in vain (I would then check JBoss EL configs), use the "normal" EL approach:

styleClass="#{empty obj.validationErrorMap ? ' ' :  
 (obj.validationErrorMap['key'] ne null ? 'highlight_field' : 'highlight_row')}"

Update: as per the comments, the Map turns out to actually be a List (please work on your naming conventions). To check if a List contains an item the "normal" EL way, use JSTL fn:contains (although not explicitly documented, it works for List as well).

styleClass="#{empty obj.validationErrorMap ? ' ' :  
 (fn:contains(obj.validationErrorMap, 'key') ? 'highlight_field' : 'highlight_row')}"

Ignoring SSL certificate in Apache HttpClient 4.3

(I would have added a comment directly to vasekt's answer but I don't have enough reputation points (not sure the logic there)

Anyway... what I wanted to say is that even if you aren't explicitly creating/asking for a PoolingConnection, doesn't mean you aren't getting one.

I was going crazy trying to figure out why the original solution didn't work for me, but I ignored vasekt's answer as it "didn't apply to my case" - wrong!

I was staring at my stack-trace when low and behold I saw a PoolingConnection in the middle of it. Bang - I tired his addition and success!! (our demo is tomorrow and I was getting desperate) :-)

How to use If Statement in Where Clause in SQL?

You have to use CASE Statement/Expression

Select * from Customer
WHERE  (I.IsClose=@ISClose OR @ISClose is NULL)  
AND    
    (C.FirstName like '%'+@ClientName+'%' or @ClientName is NULL )    
AND 
     CASE @Value
         WHEN 2 THEN (CASE I.RecurringCharge WHEN @Total or @Total is NULL) 
         WHEN 3 THEN (CASE WHEN I.RecurringCharge like 
                               '%'+cast(@Total as varchar(50))+'%' 
                     or @Total is NULL )
     END

Best way to parse RSS/Atom feeds with PHP

I use SimplePie to parse a Google Reader feed and it works pretty well and has a decent feature set.

Of course, I haven't tested it with non-well-formed RSS / Atom feeds so I don't know how it copes with those, I'm assuming Google's are fairly standards compliant! :)

How to capture a backspace on the onkeydown event

Try this:

document.addEventListener("keydown", KeyCheck);  //or however you are calling your method
function KeyCheck(event)
{
   var KeyID = event.keyCode;
   switch(KeyID)
   {
      case 8:
      alert("backspace");
      break; 
      case 46:
      alert("delete");
      break;
      default:
      break;
   }
}

Persist javascript variables across pages?

You can persist values using HTML5 storage, Flash Storage, or Gears. The dojo storage library provides a nice wrapper for this.

Getting HTML elements by their attribute names

Just another answer

Array.prototype.filter.call(
    document.getElementsByTagName('span'),
    function(el) {return el.getAttribute('property') == 'v.name';}
);

In future

Array.prototype.filter.call(
    document.getElementsByTagName('span'),
    (el) => el.getAttribute('property') == 'v.name'
)

3rd party edit

Intro

  • The call() method calls a function with a given this value and arguments provided individually.

  • The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

Given this html markup

<span property="a">apple - no match</span>
<span property="v:name">onion - match</span>
<span property="b">root - match</span>
<span property="v:name">tomato - match</span>
<br />
<button onclick="findSpan()">find span</button>

you can use this javascript

function findSpan(){

    var spans = document.getElementsByTagName('span');
    var spansV = Array.prototype.filter.call(
         spans,
         function(el) {return el.getAttribute('property') == 'v:name';}
    );
    return spansV;
}

RESTful URL design for search

This is not REST. You cannot define URIs for resources inside your API. Resource navigation must be hypertext-driven. It's fine if you want pretty URIs and heavy amounts of coupling, but just do not call it REST, because it directly violates the constraints of RESTful architecture.

See this article by the inventor of REST.

RuntimeError: module compiled against API version a but this version of numpy is 9

To solve the problem do following:

First uninstall numpy

sudo pip uninstall numpy

Install numpy with --no-cache-dir option

sudo pip install --no-cache-dir numpy

And to specify any specific version e.g. 1.14.2

sudo pip install --no-cache-dir numpy==1.14.2

How to enable SOAP on CentOS

The yum install php-soap command will install the Soap module for php 5.x

For installing the correct version for your environment I recommend to create a file info.php and put this code: <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>

In the header you'll see the version you're using:

enter image description here

Now that you know the correct version you can run this command: yum search php-soap

This command will return the avaliable versions:

php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php54-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php55-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php56-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php70-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php71-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php72-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php73-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php74-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
rh-php70-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
rh-php71-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
rh-php72-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol

Now you just need to choose the correct module to your php version.

For this example, you should run this command php72-php-soap.x86_64

How do you create optional arguments in php?

The date function would be defined something like this:

function date($format, $timestamp = null)
{
    if ($timestamp === null) {
        $timestamp = time();
    }

    // Format the timestamp according to $format
}

Usually, you would put the default value like this:

function foo($required, $optional = 42)
{
    // This function can be passed one or more arguments
}

However, only literals are valid default arguments, which is why I used null as default argument in the first example, not $timestamp = time(), and combined it with a null check. Literals include arrays (array() or []), booleans, numbers, strings, and null.

How to develop Android app completely using python?

Android, Python !

When I saw these two keywords together in your question, Kivy is the one which came to my mind first.

Kivy logo

Before coming to native Android development in Java using Android Studio, I had tried Kivy. It just awesome. Here are a few advantage I could find out.


Simple to use

With a python basics, you won't have trouble learning it.


Good community

It's well documented and has a great, active community.


Cross platform.

You can develop thing for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and even Raspberry Pi with this single framework. Open source.


It is a free software

At least few of it's (Cross platform) competitors want you to pay a fee if you want a commercial license.


Accelerated graphics support

Kivy's graphics engine build over OpenGL ES 2 makes it suitable for softwares which require fast graphics rendering such as games.



Now coming into the next part of question, you can't use Android Studio IDE for Kivy. Here is a detailed guide for setting up the development environment.

Using grep to search for a string that has a dot in it

You can also search with -- option which basically ignores all the special characters and it won't be interpreted by grep.

$ cat foo |grep -- "0\.49"

String in function parameter

function("MyString");

is similar to

char *s = "MyString";
function(s);

"MyString" is in both cases a string literal and in both cases the string is unmodifiable.

function("MyString");

passes the address of a string literal to function as an argument.

Oracle PL/SQL : remove "space characters" from a string

Shorter version of:

REGEXP_REPLACE( my_value, '[[:space:]]', '' )

Would be:

REGEXP_REPLACE( my_value, '\s')

Neither of the above statements will remove "null" characters.

To remove "nulls" encase the statement with a replace

Like so:

REPLACE(REGEXP_REPLACE( my_value, '\s'), CHR(0))

Why is __init__() always called after __new__()?

The __init__ is called after __new__ so that when you override it in a subclass, your added code will still get called.

If you are trying to subclass a class that already has a __new__, someone unaware of this might start by adapting the __init__ and forwarding the call down to the subclass __init__. This convention of calling __init__ after __new__ helps that work as expected.

The __init__ still needs to allow for any parameters the superclass __new__ needed, but failing to do so will usually create a clear runtime error. And the __new__ should probably explicitly allow for *args and '**kw', to make it clear that extension is OK.

It is generally bad form to have both __new__ and __init__ in the same class at the same level of inheritance, because of the behavior the original poster described.

Easiest way to rotate by 90 degrees an image using OpenCV?

Rotation is a composition of a transpose and a flip.

R_{+90} = F_x \circ T

R_{-90} = F_y \circ T

Which in OpenCV can be written like this (Python example below):

img = cv.LoadImage("path_to_image.jpg")
timg = cv.CreateImage((img.height,img.width), img.depth, img.channels) # transposed image

# rotate counter-clockwise
cv.Transpose(img,timg)
cv.Flip(timg,timg,flipMode=0)
cv.SaveImage("rotated_counter_clockwise.jpg", timg)

# rotate clockwise
cv.Transpose(img,timg)
cv.Flip(timg,timg,flipMode=1)
cv.SaveImage("rotated_clockwise.jpg", timg)

How do I access call log for android?

Before considering making Read Call Log or Read SMS permissions a part of your application I strongly advise you to have a look at this policy of Google Play Market: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9047303?hl=en

Those permissions are very sensitive and you will have to prove that your application needs them. But even if it really needs them Google Play Support team may easily reject your request without proper explanations.

This is what happened to me. After providing all the needed information along with the Demonstration video of my application it was rejected with the explanation that my "account is not authorized to provide a certain use case solution in my application" (the list of use cases they may consider as an exception is listed on that Policy page). No link to any policy statement was provided to explain what it all means. Basically they just judged my app as not to go without proper explanation.

I wish you good luck of cause with your applications guys but be careful.

Disable click outside of bootstrap modal area to close modal

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true" data-keyboard="false" data-backdrop="static">

Hope this will help you!

How to find the minimum value of a column in R?

Since it is a numeric operation, we should be converting it to numeric form first. This operation cannot take place if the data is in factor data type.
Check the data type of the columns using str().

min(as.numeric(data[,2]))

Opening database file from within SQLite command-line shell

The same way you do it in other db system, you can use the name of the db for identifying double named tables. unique tablenames can used directly.

select * from ttt.table_name;

or if table name in all attached databases is unique

select * from my_unique_table_name;

But I think the of of sqlite-shell is only for manual lookup or manual data manipulation and therefor this way is more inconsequential

normally you would use sqlite-command-line in a script

415 Unsupported Media Type - POST json to OData service in lightswitch 2012

It looks like this issue has to do with the difference between the Content-Type and Accept headers. In HTTP, Content-Type is used in request and response payloads to convey the media type of the current payload. Accept is used in request payloads to say what media types the server may use in the response payload.

So, having a Content-Type in a request without a body (like your GET request) has no meaning. When you do a POST request, you are sending a message body, so the Content-Type does matter.

If a server is not able to process the Content-Type of the request, it will return a 415 HTTP error. (If a server is not able to satisfy any of the media types in the request Accept header, it will return a 406 error.)

In OData v3, the media type "application/json" is interpreted to mean the new JSON format ("JSON light"). If the server does not support reading JSON light, it will throw a 415 error when it sees that the incoming request is JSON light. In your payload, your request body is verbose JSON, not JSON light, so the server should be able to process your request. It just doesn't because it sees the JSON light content type.

You could fix this in one of two ways:

  1. Make the Content-Type "application/json;odata=verbose" in your POST request, or
  2. Include the DataServiceVersion header in the request and set it be less than v3. For example:

    DataServiceVersion: 2.0;
    

(Option 2 assumes that you aren't using any v3 features in your request payload.)

How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

If you want array-style parameters URL.js supports arbitrarily nested array-style parameters as well as string indexes (maps). It also handles URL decoding.

url.get("val[0]=zero&val[1]=one&val[2]&val[3]=&val[4]=four&val[5][0]=n1&val[5][1]=n2&val[5][2]=n3&key=val", {array:true});
// Result
{
    val: [
        'zero',
        'one',
        true,
        '',
        'four',
        [ 'n1', 'n2', 'n3' ]
    ]
    key: 'val'
}

What is the use of ByteBuffer in Java?

Here is a great article explaining ByteBuffer benefits. Following are the key points in the article:

  • First advantage of a ByteBuffer irrespective of whether it is direct or indirect is efficient random access of structured binary data (e.g., low-level IO as stated in one of the answers). Prior to Java 1.4, to read such data one could use a DataInputStream, but without random access.

Following are benefits specifically for direct ByteBuffer/MappedByteBuffer. Note that direct buffers are created outside of heap:

  1. Unaffected by gc cycles: Direct buffers won't be moved during garbage collection cycles as they reside outside of heap. TerraCota's BigMemory caching technology seems to rely heavily on this advantage. If they were on heap, it would slow down gc pause times.

  2. Performance boost: In stream IO, read calls would entail system calls, which require a context-switch between user to kernel mode and vice versa, which would be costly especially if file is being accessed constantly. However, with memory-mapping this context-switching is reduced as data is more likely to be found in memory (MappedByteBuffer). If data is available in memory, it is accessed directly without invoking OS, i.e., no context-switching.

Note that MappedByteBuffers are very useful especially if the files are big and few groups of blocks are accessed more frequently.

  1. Page sharing: Memory mapped files can be shared between processes as they are allocated in process's virtual memory space and can be shared across processes.

dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

I saw a question the other day where someone inadvertently used an incomplete type by specifying something like

struct a {
    int q; 
}; 
struct A *x; 
x->q = 3;

The compiler knew that struct A was a struct, despite A being totally undefined, by virtue of the struct keyword.

That was in C++, where such usage of struct is atypical (and, it turns out, can lead to foot-shooting). In C if you do

typedef struct a {
    ...
} a;

then you can use a as the typename and omit the struct later. This will lead the compiler to give you an undefined identifier error later, rather than incomplete type, if you mistype the name or forget a header.

What is Hash and Range Primary Key?

"Hash and Range Primary Key" means that a single row in DynamoDB has a unique primary key made up of both the hash and the range key. For example with a hash key of X and range key of Y, your primary key is effectively XY. You can also have multiple range keys for the same hash key but the combination must be unique, like XZ and XA. Let's use their examples for each type of table:

Hash Primary Key – The primary key is made of one attribute, a hash attribute. For example, a ProductCatalog table can have ProductID as its primary key. DynamoDB builds an unordered hash index on this primary key attribute.

This means that every row is keyed off of this value. Every row in DynamoDB will have a required, unique value for this attribute. Unordered hash index means what is says - the data is not ordered and you are not given any guarantees into how the data is stored. You won't be able to make queries on an unordered index such as Get me all rows that have a ProductID greater than X. You write and fetch items based on the hash key. For example, Get me the row from that table that has ProductID X. You are making a query against an unordered index so your gets against it are basically key-value lookups, are very fast, and use very little throughput.


Hash and Range Primary Key – The primary key is made of two attributes. The first attribute is the hash attribute and the second attribute is the range attribute. For example, the forum Thread table can have ForumName and Subject as its primary key, where ForumName is the hash attribute and Subject is the range attribute. DynamoDB builds an unordered hash index on the hash attribute and a sorted range index on the range attribute.

This means that every row's primary key is the combination of the hash and range key. You can make direct gets on single rows if you have both the hash and range key, or you can make a query against the sorted range index. For example, get Get me all rows from the table with Hash key X that have range keys greater than Y, or other queries to that affect. They have better performance and less capacity usage compared to Scans and Queries against fields that are not indexed. From their documentation:

Query results are always sorted by the range key. If the data type of the range key is Number, the results are returned in numeric order; otherwise, the results are returned in order of ASCII character code values. By default, the sort order is ascending. To reverse the order, set the ScanIndexForward parameter to false

I probably missed some things as I typed this out and I only scratched the surface. There are a lot more aspects to take into consideration when working with DynamoDB tables (throughput, consistency, capacity, other indices, key distribution, etc.). You should take a look at the sample tables and data page for examples.

How do I run a Python script from C#?

If you're willing to use IronPython, you can execute scripts directly in C#:

using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;

private static void doPython()
{
    ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();
    engine.ExecuteFile(@"test.py");
}

Conditional Binding: if let error – Initializer for conditional binding must have Optional type

In a case where you are using a custom cell type, say ArticleCell, you might get an error that says :

    Initializer for conditional binding must have Optional type, not 'ArticleCell'

You will get this error if your line of code looks something like this:

    if let cell = tableView.dequeReusableCell(withIdentifier: "ArticleCell",for indexPath: indexPath) as! ArticleCell 

You can fix this error by doing the following :

    if let cell = tableView.dequeReusableCell(withIdentifier: "ArticleCell",for indexPath: indexPath) as ArticleCell?

If you check the above, you will see that the latter is using optional casting for a cell of type ArticleCell.

How to use OpenSSL to encrypt/decrypt files?

Short Answer:

You likely want to use gpg instead of openssl so see "Additional Notes" at the end of this answer. But to answer the question using openssl:

To Encrypt:

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -in un_encrypted.data -out encrypted.data

To Decrypt:

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -in encrypted.data -out un_encrypted.data

Note: You will be prompted for a password when encrypting or decrypt.


Long Answer:

Your best source of information for openssl enc would probably be: https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/enc.html

Command line: openssl enc takes the following form:

openssl enc -ciphername [-in filename] [-out filename] [-pass arg]
[-e] [-d] [-a/-base64] [-A] [-k password] [-kfile filename] 
[-K key] [-iv IV] [-S salt] [-salt] [-nosalt] [-z] [-md] [-p] [-P] 
[-bufsize number] [-nopad] [-debug] [-none] [-engine id]

Explanation of most useful parameters with regards to your question:

-e
    Encrypt the input data: this is the default.

-d    
    Decrypt the input data.

-k <password>
    Only use this if you want to pass the password as an argument. 
    Usually you can leave this out and you will be prompted for a 
    password. The password is used to derive the actual key which 
    is used to encrypt your data. Using this parameter is typically
    not considered secure because your password appears in 
    plain-text on the command line and will likely be recorded in 
    bash history.

-kfile <filename>
    Read the password from the first line of <filename> instead of
    from the command line as above.

-a
    base64 process the data. This means that if encryption is taking 
    place the data is base64 encoded after encryption. If decryption 
    is set then the input data is base64 decoded before being 
    decrypted.
    You likely DON'T need to use this. This will likely increase the
    file size for non-text data. Only use this if you need to send 
    data in the form of text format via email etc.

-salt
    To use a salt (randomly generated) when encrypting. You always
    want to use a salt while encrypting. This parameter is actually
    redundant because a salt is used whether you use this or not 
    which is why it was not used in the "Short Answer" above!

-K key    
    The actual key to use: this must be represented as a string
    comprised only of hex digits. If only the key is specified, the
    IV must additionally be specified using the -iv option. When 
    both a key and a password are specified, the key given with the
    -K option will be used and the IV generated from the password 
    will be taken. It probably does not make much sense to specify 
    both key and password.

-iv IV
    The actual IV to use: this must be represented as a string 
    comprised only of hex digits. When only the key is specified 
    using the -K option, the IV must explicitly be defined. When a
    password is being specified using one of the other options, the 
    IV is generated from this password.

-md digest
    Use the specified digest to create the key from the passphrase.
    The default algorithm as of this writing is sha-256. But this 
    has changed over time. It was md5 in the past. So you might want
    to specify this parameter every time to alleviate problems when
    moving your encrypted data from one system to another or when
    updating openssl to a newer version.

Additional Notes:

Though you have specifically asked about OpenSSL you might want to consider using GPG instead for the purpose of encryption based on this article OpenSSL vs GPG for encrypting off-site backups?

To use GPG to do the same you would use the following commands:

To Encrypt:

gpg --output encrypted.data --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 un_encrypted.data

To Decrypt:

gpg --output un_encrypted.data --decrypt encrypted.data

Note: You will be prompted for a password when encrypting or decrypt.

How to easily map c++ enums to strings

Auto-generate one form from another.

Source:

enum {
  VALUE1, /* value 1 */
  VALUE2, /* value 2 */
};

Generated:

const char* enum2str[] = {
  "value 1", /* VALUE1 */
  "value 2", /* VALUE2 */
};

If enum values are large then a generated form could use unordered_map<> or templates as suggested by Constantin.

Source:

enum State{
  state0 = 0, /* state 0 */
  state1 = 1, /* state 1 */
  state2 = 2, /* state 2 */
  state3 = 4, /* state 3 */

  state16 = 0x10000, /* state 16 */
};

Generated:

template <State n> struct enum2str { static const char * const value; };
template <State n> const char * const enum2str<n>::value = "error";

template <> struct enum2str<state0> { static const char * const value; };
const char * const enum2str<state0>::value = "state 0";

Example:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  std::cout << enum2str<state16>::value << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Are iframes considered 'bad practice'?

The original frameset model (Frameset and Frame-elements) were very bad from a usability standpoint. IFrame vas a later invention which didn't have as many problems as the original frameset model, but it does have its drawback.

If you allow the user to navigate inside the IFrame, then links and bookmarks will not work as expected (because you bookmark the URL of the outer page, but not the URL of the iframe).

Delete all rows in table

As other have said, TRUNCATE TABLE is far quicker, but it does have some restrictions (taken from here):

You cannot use TRUNCATE TABLE on tables that:

- Are referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. (You can truncate a table that has a foreign key that references itself.)
- Participate in an indexed view.
- Are published by using transactional replication or merge replication.

For tables with one or more of these characteristics, use the DELETE statement instead.

The biggest drawback is that if the table you are trying to empty has foreign keys pointing to it, then the truncate call will fail.

Batch - Echo or Variable Not Working

An error when I add a variable to a string

This problem also arise when we don't give the single or double quotes to the database value.

Wrong way:

As database inserting values must be in quotes ' '/" "

Right way:

$query ="INSERT INTO STUDENT VALUE ('$roll_no','$name','$class')";

Find character position and update file name

If you use Excel, then the command would be Find and MID. Here is what it would look like in Powershell.

 $text = "asdfNAME=PC123456<>Diweursejsfdjiwr"

asdfNAME=PC123456<>Diweursejsfdjiwr - Randon line of text, we want PC123456

 $text.IndexOf("E=")

7 - this is the "FIND" command for Powershell

 $text.substring(10,5)

C1234 - this is the "MID" command for Powershell

 $text.substring($text.IndexOf("E=")+2,8)

PC123456 - tada it has found and cut our text

What's the difference between returning value or Promise.resolve from then()

In simple terms, inside a then handler function:

A) When x is a value (number, string, etc):

  1. return x is equivalent to return Promise.resolve(x)
  2. throw x is equivalent to return Promise.reject(x)

B) When x is a Promise that is already settled (not pending anymore):

  1. return x is equivalent to return Promise.resolve(x), if the Promise was already resolved.
  2. return x is equivalent to return Promise.reject(x), if the Promise was already rejected.

C) When x is a Promise that is pending:

  1. return x will return a pending Promise, and it will be evaluated on the subsequent then.

How to increase number of threads in tomcat thread pool?

You would have to tune it according to your environment.

Sometimes it's more useful to increase the size of the backlog (acceptCount) instead of the maximum number of threads.

Say, instead of

<Connector ... maxThreads="500" acceptCount="50"

you use

<Connector ... maxThreads="300" acceptCount="150"

you can get much better performance in some cases, cause there would be less threads disputing the resources and the backlog queue would be consumed faster.

In any case, though, you have to do some benchmarks to really know what is best.

password for postgres

What's the default superuser username/password for postgres after a new install?:

CAUTION The answer about changing the UNIX password for "postgres" through "$ sudo passwd postgres" is not preferred, and can even be DANGEROUS!

This is why: By default, the UNIX account "postgres" is locked, which means it cannot be logged in using a password. If you use "sudo passwd postgres", the account is immediately unlocked. Worse, if you set the password to something weak, like "postgres", then you are exposed to a great security danger. For example, there are a number of bots out there trying the username/password combo "postgres/postgres" to log into your UNIX system.

What you should do is follow Chris James's answer:

sudo -u postgres psql postgres

# \password postgres

Enter new password:

What's the better (cleaner) way to ignore output in PowerShell?

I would consider using something like:

function GetList
{
  . {
     $a = new-object Collections.ArrayList
     $a.Add(5)
     $a.Add('next 5')
  } | Out-Null
  $a
}
$x = GetList

Output from $a.Add is not returned -- that holds for all $a.Add method calls. Otherwise you would need to prepend [void] before each the call.

In simple cases I would go with [void]$a.Add because it is quite clear that output will not be used and is discarded.

Exact difference between CharSequence and String in java

other than the fact that String implements CharSequence and that String is a sequence of character.

Several things happen in your code:

CharSequence obj = "hello";

That creates a String literal, "hello", which is a String object. Being a String, which implements CharSequence, it is also a CharSequence. (you can read this post about coding to interface for example).

The next line:

String str = "hello";

is a little more complex. String literals in Java are held in a pool (interned) so the "hello" on this line is the same object (identity) as the "hello" on the first line. Therefore, this line only assigns the same String literal to str.

At this point, both obj and str are references to the String literal "hello" and are therefore equals, == and they are both a String and a CharSequence.

I suggest you test this code, showing in action what I just wrote:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    CharSequence obj = "hello";
    String str = "hello";
    System.out.println("Type of obj: " + obj.getClass().getSimpleName());
    System.out.println("Type of str: " + str.getClass().getSimpleName());
    System.out.println("Value of obj: " + obj);
    System.out.println("Value of str: " + str);
    System.out.println("Is obj a String? " + (obj instanceof String));
    System.out.println("Is obj a CharSequence? " + (obj instanceof CharSequence));
    System.out.println("Is str a String? " + (str instanceof String));
    System.out.println("Is str a CharSequence? " + (str instanceof CharSequence));
    System.out.println("Is \"hello\" a String? " + ("hello" instanceof String));
    System.out.println("Is \"hello\" a CharSequence? " + ("hello" instanceof CharSequence));
    System.out.println("str.equals(obj)? " + str.equals(obj));
    System.out.println("(str == obj)? " + (str == obj));
}

Tensorflow: Using Adam optimizer

The AdamOptimizer class creates additional variables, called "slots", to hold values for the "m" and "v" accumulators.

See the source here if you're curious, it's actually quite readable: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/training/adam.py#L39 . Other optimizers, such as Momentum and Adagrad use slots too.

These variables must be initialized before you can train a model.

The normal way to initialize variables is to call tf.initialize_all_variables() which adds ops to initialize the variables present in the graph when it is called.

(Aside: unlike its name suggests, initialize_all_variables() does not initialize anything, it only add ops that will initialize the variables when run.)

What you must do is call initialize_all_variables() after you have added the optimizer:

...build your model...
# Add the optimizer
train_op = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(1e-4).minimize(cross_entropy)
# Add the ops to initialize variables.  These will include 
# the optimizer slots added by AdamOptimizer().
init_op = tf.initialize_all_variables()

# launch the graph in a session
sess = tf.Session()
# Actually intialize the variables
sess.run(init_op)
# now train your model
for ...:
  sess.run(train_op)

I can't understand why this JAXB IllegalAnnotationException is thrown

The exception is due to your JAXB (JSR-222) implementation believing that there are two things mapped with the same name (a field and a property). There are a couple of options for your use case:

OPTION #1 - Annotate the Field with @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)

If you want to annotation the field then you should specify @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)

Fields.java:

package forum10795793;

import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlRootElement(name = "fields")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Fields {

    @XmlElement(name = "field")
    List<Field> fields = new ArrayList<Field>();

    public List<Field> getFields() {
        return fields;
    }

    public void setFields(List<Field> fields) {
        this.fields = fields;
    }

}

Field.java:

package forum10795793;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Field {

    @XmlAttribute(name = "mappedField")
    String mappedField;

    public String getMappedField() {
        return mappedField;
    }

    public void setMappedField(String mappedField) {
        this.mappedField = mappedField;
    }

}

OPTION #2 - Annotate the Properties

The default accessor type is XmlAccessType.PUBLIC. This means that by default JAXB implementations will map public fields and accessors to XML. Using the default setting you should annotate the public accessors where you want to override the default mapping behaviour.

Fields.java:

package forum10795793;

import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlRootElement(name = "fields")
public class Fields {

    List<Field> fields = new ArrayList<Field>();

    @XmlElement(name = "field")
    public List<Field> getFields() {
        return fields;
    }

    public void setFields(List<Field> fields) {
        this.fields = fields;
    }

}

Field.java:

package forum10795793;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

public class Field {

    String mappedField;

    @XmlAttribute(name = "mappedField")
    public String getMappedField() {
        return mappedField;
    }

    public void setMappedField(String mappedField) {
        this.mappedField = mappedField;
    }

}

How can I set the color of a selected row in DataGrid

I had this problem and I nearly tore my hair out, and I wasn't able to find the appropriate answer on the net. I was trying to control the background color of the selected row in a WPF DataGrid. It just wouldn't do it. In my case, the reason was that I also had a CellStyle in my datagrid, and the CellStyle overrode the RowStyle I was setting. Interestingly so, because the CellStyle wasn't even setting the background color, which was instead bing set by the RowBackground and AlternateRowBackground properties. Nevertheless, trying to set the background colour of the selected row did not work at all when I did this:

        <DataGrid ... >
        <DataGrid.RowBackground>
            ...
        </DataGrid.RowBackground>
        <DataGrid.AlternatingRowBackground>
            ...
        </DataGrid.AlternatingRowBackground>
        <DataGrid.RowStyle>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Pink"/>
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>

                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding MyProperty}" />
            </Style>
        </DataGrid.CellStyle>

and it did work when I moved the desired style for the selected row out of the row style and into the cell style, like so:

    <DataGrid ... >
        <DataGrid.RowBackground>
            ...
        </DataGrid.RowBackground>
        <DataGrid.AlternatingRowBackground>
            ...
        </DataGrid.AlternatingRowBackground>
        <DataGrid.CellStyle>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding MyProperty}" />
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Pink"/>
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </DataGrid.CellStyle>

Two decimal places using printf( )

What you want is %.2f, not 2%f.

Also, you might want to replace your %d with a %f ;)

#include <cstdio>
int main()
{
printf("When this number: %f is assigned to 2 dp, it will be: %.2f ", 94.9456, 94.9456);
return 0;
}

This will output:

When this number: 94.945600 is assigned to 2 dp, it will be: 94.95

See here for a full description of the printf formatting options: printf

How to use bluetooth to connect two iPhone?

You can connect two iPhones and transfer data via Bluetooth using either the high-level GameKit framework or the lower-level (but still easy to work with) Bonjour discovery mechanisms. Bonjour also works transparently between Bluetooth and WiFi on the iPhone under 3.0, so it's a good choice if you would like to support iPhone-to-iPhone data transfers on those two types of networks.

For more information, you can also look at the responses to these questions:

How to transfer data from JSP to servlet when submitting HTML form

Create a class which extends HttpServlet and put @WebServlet annotation on it containing the desired URL the servlet should listen on.

@WebServlet("/yourServletURL")
public class YourServlet extends HttpServlet {}

And just let <form action> point to this URL. I would also recommend to use POST method for non-idempotent requests. You should make sure that you have specified the name attribute of the HTML form input fields (<input>, <select>, <textarea> and <button>). This represents the HTTP request parameter name. Finally, you also need to make sure that the input fields of interest are enclosed inside the desired form and thus not outside.

Here are some examples of various HTML form input fields:

<form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/yourServletURL" method="post">
    <p>Normal text field.        
    <input type="text" name="name" /></p>

    <p>Secret text field.        
    <input type="password" name="pass" /></p>

    <p>Single-selection radiobuttons.        
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" /> Male
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="F" /> Female</p>

    <p>Single-selection checkbox.
    <input type="checkbox" name="agree" /> Agree?</p>

    <p>Multi-selection checkboxes.
    <input type="checkbox" name="role" value="USER" /> User
    <input type="checkbox" name="role" value="ADMIN" /> Admin</p>

    <p>Single-selection dropdown.
    <select name="countryCode">
        <option value="NL">Netherlands</option>
        <option value="US">United States</option>
    </select></p>

    <p>Multi-selection listbox.
    <select name="animalId" multiple="true" size="2">
        <option value="1">Cat</option>
        <option value="2">Dog</option>
    </select></p>

    <p>Text area.
    <textarea name="message"></textarea></p>

    <p>Submit button.
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></p>
</form>

Create a doPost() method in your servlet which grabs the submitted input values as request parameters keyed by the input field's name (not id!). You can use request.getParameter() to get submitted value from single-value fields and request.getParameterValues() to get submitted values from multi-value fields.

@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    String name = request.getParameter("name");
    String pass = request.getParameter("pass");
    String gender = request.getParameter("gender");
    boolean agree = request.getParameter("agree") != null;
    String[] roles = request.getParameterValues("role");
    String countryCode = request.getParameter("countryCode");
    String[] animalIds = request.getParameterValues("animalId");
    String message = request.getParameter("message");
    boolean submitButtonPressed = request.getParameter("submit") != null;
    // ...
}

Do if necessary some validation and finally persist it in the DB the usual JDBC/DAO way.

User user = new User(name, pass, roles);
userDAO.save(user);

Remove decimal values using SQL query

First of all, you tried to replace the entire 12.00 with '', which isn't going to give your desired results.

Second you are trying to do replace directly on a decimal. Replace must be performed on a string, so you have to CAST.

There are many ways to get your desired results, but this replace would have worked (assuming your column name is "height":

REPLACE(CAST(height as varchar(31)),'.00','')

EDIT:

This script works:

DECLARE @Height decimal(6,2);
SET @Height = 12.00;
SELECT @Height, REPLACE(CAST(@Height AS varchar(31)),'.00','');

Take multiple lists into dataframe

There are several ways to create a dataframe from multiple lists.

list1=[1,2,3,4]
list2=[5,6,7,8]
list3=[9,10,11,12]
  1. pd.DataFrame({'list1':list1, 'list2':list2, 'list3'=list3})

  2. pd.DataFrame(data=zip(list1,list2,list3),columns=['list1','list2','list3'])

Returning unique_ptr from functions

unique_ptr doesn't have the traditional copy constructor. Instead it has a "move constructor" that uses rvalue references:

unique_ptr::unique_ptr(unique_ptr && src);

An rvalue reference (the double ampersand) will only bind to an rvalue. That's why you get an error when you try to pass an lvalue unique_ptr to a function. On the other hand, a value that is returned from a function is treated as an rvalue, so the move constructor is called automatically.

By the way, this will work correctly:

bar(unique_ptr<int>(new int(44));

The temporary unique_ptr here is an rvalue.

Get the value of input text when enter key pressed

Just using the event object

function search(e) {
    e = e || window.event;
    if(e.keyCode == 13) {
        var elem = e.srcElement || e.target;
        alert(elem.value);
    }
}

Curl: Fix CURL (51) SSL error: no alternative certificate subject name matches

I had the same issue. In my case I was using digitalocean and nginx.
I have first setup a domain example.app and a subdomain dev.exemple.app in digitalocean. Second,I purchased two ssl certificat from godaddy. And finaly, I configured two domain in nginx to use those two ssl certificat with the following snipet

My example.app domain config

    server {
    listen 7000 default_server;
    listen [::]:7000 default_server;

     listen 443 ssl default_server;
     listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;

    root /srv/nodejs/echantillonnage1;

            proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    #try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
 }

My dev.example.app

   server {
    listen 7000 default_server;
    listen [::]:7000 default_server;

     listen 444 ssl default_server;
     listen [::]:444 ssl default_server;

    }
 }

When I was launching https://dev.echantillonnage.app , I was getting

    Fix CURL (51) SSL error: no alternative certificate subject name matches

My mistake was the two lines bellow

    listen 444 ssl default_server;
     listen [::]:444 ssl default_server;

I had to change this to:

     listen 443 ssl;
     listen [::]:443 ssl;

Error CS1705: "which has a higher version than referenced assembly"

Handmade dll's collection folder
If you solution has a garbage folder for dll-files from different libraries
lib, source, libs, etc.
You can get this trouble if you'll open your solution (for a firs time) in Visual Studio. And your dll's collecting folder is missed for somehow or a concrete dll-file is missed.

Visual Studio will try silently to substitute dll's reference for something on its own. If VS will succeed then a new reference will be persistent for your local solution. Not for other clones/checkouts.

I.e. your <HintPath> will be ignored and you project file (.csproj) will not be changed.
As an example of me

<Reference Include="DocumentFormat.OpenXml, Version=2.0.5022.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
  <HintPath>..\..\..\lib\DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

The DocumentFormat.OpenXml will be referenced from C:\Program Files (x86)\Open XML SDK\V2.5\lib not from a solution\..\lib folder.

fast Workaround

  • check and restore you dll's collecting folder
  • from Solution Explorer do Unload Project, then Reload Project.

right Workaround is to migrate to NuGet package manager.

How do I check if a string is valid JSON in Python?

You can try to do json.loads(), which will throw a ValueError if the string you pass can't be decoded as JSON.

In general, the "Pythonic" philosophy for this kind of situation is called EAFP, for Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than Permission.

Read input from console in Ruby?

Are you talking about gets?

puts "Enter A"
a = gets.chomp
puts "Enter B"
b = gets.chomp
c = a.to_i + b.to_i
puts c

Something like that?

Update

Kernel.gets tries to read the params found in ARGV and only asks to console if not ARGV found. To force to read from console even if ARGV is not empty use STDIN.gets

How to delete files older than X hours

For SunOS 5.10

 Example 6 Selecting a File Using 24-hour Mode


 The descriptions of -atime, -ctime, and -mtime use the  ter-
 minology n ``24-hour periods''. For example, a file accessed
 at 23:59 is selected by:


   example% find . -atime -1 -print




 at 00:01 the next day (less than 24 hours  later,  not  more
 than one day ago). The midnight boundary between days has no
 effect on the 24-hour calculation.

PDO::__construct(): Server sent charset (255) unknown to the client. Please, report to the developers

MySQL 8 changed the default charset to utf8mb4. But some clients don't know this charset. Hence when the server reports its default charset to the client, and the client doesn't know what the server means, it throws this error.

See also https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=71606

That bug is against the MySQL Connector/C++ so it's affecting more than just PHP.

Okay—I got it to work by changing the character set to utf8, to be compatible with non-upgraded clients. I added this to /etc/my.cnf and restarted mysqld:

[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8


[mysqld]
collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci
character-set-server = utf8

I found these settings in an answer from 2010: Change MySQL default character set to UTF-8 in my.cnf?

Javascript ES6 export const vs export let

In ES6, imports are live read-only views on exported-values. As a result, when you do import a from "somemodule";, you cannot assign to a no matter how you declare a in the module.

However, since imported variables are live views, they do change according to the "raw" exported variable in exports. Consider the following code (borrowed from the reference article below):

//------ lib.js ------
export let counter = 3;
export function incCounter() {
    counter++;
}

//------ main1.js ------
import { counter, incCounter } from './lib';

// The imported value `counter` is live
console.log(counter); // 3
incCounter();
console.log(counter); // 4

// The imported value can’t be changed
counter++; // TypeError

As you can see, the difference really lies in lib.js, not main1.js.


To summarize:

  • You cannot assign to import-ed variables, no matter how you declare the corresponding variables in the module.
  • The traditional let-vs-const semantics applies to the declared variable in the module.
    • If the variable is declared const, it cannot be reassigned or rebound in anywhere.
    • If the variable is declared let, it can only be reassigned in the module (but not the user). If it is changed, the import-ed variable changes accordingly.

How to rotate x-axis tick labels in Pandas barplot

The follows might be helpful:

# Valid font size are xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, smaller, None

plt.xticks(
    rotation=45,
    horizontalalignment='right',
    fontweight='light',
    fontsize='medium',
)

Here is the function xticks[reference] with example and API

def xticks(ticks=None, labels=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the x-axis.

    Call signatures::

        locs, labels = xticks()            # Get locations and labels
        xticks(ticks, [labels], **kwargs)  # Set locations and labels

    Parameters
    ----------
    ticks : array_like
        A list of positions at which ticks should be placed. You can pass an
        empty list to disable xticks.

    labels : array_like, optional
        A list of explicit labels to place at the given *locs*.

    **kwargs
        :class:`.Text` properties can be used to control the appearance of
        the labels.

Permission denied on accessing host directory in Docker

See this Project Atomic blog post about Volumes and SELinux for the full story.

Specifically:

This got easier recently since Docker finally merged a patch which will be showing up in docker-1.7 (We have been carrying the patch in docker-1.6 on RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora).

This patch adds support for "z" and "Z" as options on the volume mounts (-v).

For example:

docker run -v /var/db:/var/db:z rhel7 /bin/sh

Will automatically do the chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /var/db described in the man page.

Even better, you can use Z.

docker run -v /var/db:/var/db:Z rhel7 /bin/sh

This will label the content inside the container with the exact MCS label that the container will run with, basically it runs chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t -l s0:c1,c2 /var/db where s0:c1,c2 differs for each container.

Algorithm to find Largest prime factor of a number

I think it would be good to store somewhere all possible primes smaller then n and just iterate through them to find the biggest divisior. You can get primes from prime-numbers.org.

Of course I assume that your number isn't too big :)

OTP (token) should be automatically read from the message

With the SMS Retriever API, one can Read OTP without declaring android.permission.READ_SMS.

  1. Start the SMS retriever
    private fun startSMSRetriever() {
        // Get an instance of SmsRetrieverClient, used to start listening for a matching SMS message.
        val client = SmsRetriever.getClient(this /* context */);

        // Starts SmsRetriever, which waits for ONE matching SMS message until timeout
        // (5 minutes). The matching SMS message will be sent via a Broadcast Intent with
        // action SmsRetriever#SMS_RETRIEVED_ACTION.
        val task: Task<Void> = client.startSmsRetriever();

        // Listen for success/failure of the start Task. If in a background thread, this
        // can be made blocking using Tasks.await(task, [timeout]);
        task.addOnSuccessListener {
            Log.d("SmsRetriever", "SmsRetriever Start Success")
        }

        task.addOnFailureListener {
            Log.d("SmsRetriever", "SmsRetriever Start Failed")
        }
    }
  1. Receive messages via Broadcast
    public class MySMSBroadcastReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {

        override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
            if (SmsRetriever.SMS_RETRIEVED_ACTION == intent?.action && intent.extras!=null) {
                val extras = intent.extras
                val status = extras.get(SmsRetriever.EXTRA_STATUS) as Status

                when (status.statusCode) {
                    CommonStatusCodes.SUCCESS -> {
                        // Get SMS message contents
                        val message = extras.get(SmsRetriever.EXTRA_SMS_MESSAGE) as String
                        Log.e("Message", message);
                        // Extract one-time code from the message and complete verification
                        // by sending the code back to your server.
                    }
                    CommonStatusCodes.TIMEOUT -> {
                        // Waiting for SMS timed out (5 minutes)
                        // Handle the error ...
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    }   


    /**Don't forgot to define BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest.xml.*/       
    <receiver android:name=".MySMSBroadcastReceiver" android:exported="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.auth.api.phone.SMS_RETRIEVED"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
  1. Send the one-time code from the verification message to your server

Make sure your SMS format is exactly as below:

<#> Your ExampleApp code is: 123ABC78
fBzOyyp9h6L
  1. Be no longer than 140 bytes
  2. Begin with the prefix <#>
  3. End with an 11-character hash string that identifies your app

    You can compute app hash with following code:

    import android.content.Context
    import android.content.ContextWrapper
    import android.content.pm.PackageManager
    import android.util.Base64
    import android.util.Log

    import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException
    import java.util.*
    
    /**
     * This is a helper class to generate your message hash to be included in your SMS message.
     *
     * Without the correct hash, your app won't recieve the message callback. This only needs to be
     * generated once per app and stored. Then you can remove this helper class from your code.

Is there an alternative sleep function in C to milliseconds?

You can use this cross-platform function:

#ifdef WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#elif _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L
#include <time.h>   // for nanosleep
#else
#include <unistd.h> // for usleep
#endif

void sleep_ms(int milliseconds){ // cross-platform sleep function
#ifdef WIN32
    Sleep(milliseconds);
#elif _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L
    struct timespec ts;
    ts.tv_sec = milliseconds / 1000;
    ts.tv_nsec = (milliseconds % 1000) * 1000000;
    nanosleep(&ts, NULL);
#else
    if (milliseconds >= 1000)
      sleep(milliseconds / 1000);
    usleep((milliseconds % 1000) * 1000);
#endif
}

String date to xmlgregoriancalendar conversion

For me the most elegant solution is this one:

XMLGregorianCalendar result = DatatypeFactory.newInstance()
    .newXMLGregorianCalendar("2014-01-07");

Using Java 8.

Extended example:

XMLGregorianCalendar result = DatatypeFactory.newInstance()
    .newXMLGregorianCalendar("2014-01-07");
System.out.println(result.getDay());
System.out.println(result.getMonth());
System.out.println(result.getYear());

This prints out:

7
1
2014

Append String in Swift

You can simply append string like:

var worldArg = "world is good"

worldArg += " to live";

Loading all images using imread from a given folder

To add onto the answer from Rishabh and make it able to handle files that are not images that are found in the folder.

import matplotlib.image as mpimg

images = []
folder = './your/folder/'
for filename in os.listdir(folder):
    try:
        img = mpimg.imread(os.path.join(folder, filename))
        if img is not None:
            images.append(img)
    except:
        print('Cant import ' + filename)
images = np.asarray(images)

HTML Form: Select-Option vs Datalist-Option

There is another important difference between select and datalist. Here comes the browser support factor.

select is widely supported by browsers compared to datalist. Please take a look at this page for complete browser support of datalist--

Datalist browser support

Where as select is supported in effectively all browsers (since IE6+, Firefox 2+, Chrome 1+ etc)

Linq select objects in list where exists IN (A,B,C)

Your status-codes are also a collection, so use Contains:

var allowedStatus = new[]{ "A", "B", "C" };
var filteredOrders = orders.Order.Where(o => allowedStatus.Contains(o.StatusCode));

or in query syntax:

var filteredOrders = from order in orders.Order
                     where allowedStatus.Contains(order.StatusCode)
                     select order;

Check if element is visible on screen

--- Shameless plug ---
I have added this function to a library I created vanillajs-browser-helpers: https://github.com/Tokimon/vanillajs-browser-helpers/blob/master/inView.js
-------------------------------

Well BenM stated, you need to detect the height of the viewport + the scroll position to match up with your top position. The function you are using is ok and does the job, though its a bit more complex than it needs to be.

If you don't use jQuery then the script would be something like this:

function posY(elm) {
    var test = elm, top = 0;

    while(!!test && test.tagName.toLowerCase() !== "body") {
        top += test.offsetTop;
        test = test.offsetParent;
    }

    return top;
}

function viewPortHeight() {
    var de = document.documentElement;

    if(!!window.innerWidth)
    { return window.innerHeight; }
    else if( de && !isNaN(de.clientHeight) )
    { return de.clientHeight; }
    
    return 0;
}

function scrollY() {
    if( window.pageYOffset ) { return window.pageYOffset; }
    return Math.max(document.documentElement.scrollTop, document.body.scrollTop);
}

function checkvisible( elm ) {
    var vpH = viewPortHeight(), // Viewport Height
        st = scrollY(), // Scroll Top
        y = posY(elm);
    
    return (y > (vpH + st));
}

Using jQuery is a lot easier:

function checkVisible( elm, evalType ) {
    evalType = evalType || "visible";

    var vpH = $(window).height(), // Viewport Height
        st = $(window).scrollTop(), // Scroll Top
        y = $(elm).offset().top,
        elementHeight = $(elm).height();

    if (evalType === "visible") return ((y < (vpH + st)) && (y > (st - elementHeight)));
    if (evalType === "above") return ((y < (vpH + st)));
}

This even offers a second parameter. With "visible" (or no second parameter) it strictly checks whether an element is on screen. If it is set to "above" it will return true when the element in question is on or above the screen.

See in action: http://jsfiddle.net/RJX5N/2/

I hope this answers your question.

-- IMPROVED VERSION--

This is a lot shorter and should do it as well:

function checkVisible(elm) {
  var rect = elm.getBoundingClientRect();
  var viewHeight = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight);
  return !(rect.bottom < 0 || rect.top - viewHeight >= 0);
}

with a fiddle to prove it: http://jsfiddle.net/t2L274ty/1/

And a version with threshold and mode included:

function checkVisible(elm, threshold, mode) {
  threshold = threshold || 0;
  mode = mode || 'visible';

  var rect = elm.getBoundingClientRect();
  var viewHeight = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight);
  var above = rect.bottom - threshold < 0;
  var below = rect.top - viewHeight + threshold >= 0;

  return mode === 'above' ? above : (mode === 'below' ? below : !above && !below);
}

and with a fiddle to prove it: http://jsfiddle.net/t2L274ty/2/

How to access a RowDataPacket object

I found an easy way

Object.prototype.parseSqlResult = function () {
    return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this[0]))
}

At db layer do the parsing as

let users= await util.knex.raw('select * from user')
    return users.parseSqlResult()

This will return elements as normal JSON array.

Setting up a JavaScript variable from Spring model by using Thymeleaf

According to the documentation there are several ways to do the inlining.
The right way you must choose based on the situation.

1) Simply put the variable from server to javascript :

<script th:inline="javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/

var message = [[${message}]];
alert(message);

/*]]>*/
</script>

2) Combine javascript variables with server side variables, e.g. you need to create link for requesting inside the javascript:

<script th:inline="javascript">
        /*<![CDATA[*/
        function sampleGetByJquery(v) {
            /*[+
            var url = [[@{/my/get/url(var1=${#httpServletRequest.getParameter('var1')})}]] 
                      + "&var2="+v;
             +]*/
            $("#myPanel").load(url, function() {});
        }
        /*]]>*/
        </script>

The one situation I can't resolve - then I need to pass javascript variable inside the Java method calling inside the template (it's impossible I guess).

How to convert 1 to true or 0 to false upon model fetch

All you need is convert string to int with + and convert the result to boolean with !!:

var response = {"isChecked":"1"};
response.isChecked = !!+response.isChecked

You can do this manipulation in the parse method:

parse: function (response) {
  response.isChecked = !!+response.isChecked;
  return response;
}

UPDATE: 7 years later, I find Number(string) conversion more elegant. Also mutating an object is not the best idea. That being said:

parse: function (response) {
  return Object.assign({}, response, {
    isChecked: !!Number(response.isChecked), // OR
    isChecked: Boolean(Number(response.isChecked))
  });
}

Java: Reading integers from a file into an array

It looks like Java is trying to convert an empty string into a number. Do you have an empty line at the end of the series of numbers?

You could probably fix the code like this

String s = in.readLine();
int i = 0;

while (s != null) {
    // Skip empty lines.
    s = s.trim();
    if (s.length() == 0) {
        continue;
    }

    tall[i] = Integer.parseInt(s); // This is line 19.
    System.out.println(tall[i]);
    s = in.readLine();
    i++;
}

in.close();

Can VS Code run on Android?

CodeSandbox is a sophisticated online editor built around Monaco

What is the difference between Swing and AWT?

AWT is a Java interface to native system GUI code present in your OS. It will not work the same on every system, although it tries.

Swing is a more-or-less pure-Java GUI. It uses AWT to create an operating system window and then paints pictures of buttons, labels, text, checkboxes, etc., into that window and responds to all of your mouse-clicks, key entries, etc., deciding for itself what to do instead of letting the operating system handle it. Thus Swing is 100% portable and is the same across platforms (although it is skinnable and has a "pluggable look and feel" that can make it look more or less like how the native windows and widgets would look).

These are vastly different approaches to GUI toolkits and have a lot of consequences. A full answer to your question would try to explore all of those. :) Here are a couple:

AWT is a cross-platform interface, so even though it uses the underlying OS or native GUI toolkit for its functionality, it doesn't provide access to everything that those toolkits can do. Advanced or newer AWT widgets that might exist on one platform might not be supported on another. Features of widgets that aren't the same on every platform might not be supported, or worse, they might work differently on each platform. People used to invest lots of effort to get their AWT applications to work consistently across platforms - for instance, they may try to make calls into native code from Java.

Because AWT uses native GUI widgets, your OS knows about them and handles putting them in front of each other, etc., whereas Swing widgets are meaningless pixels within a window from your OS's point of view. Swing itself handles your widgets' layout and stacking. Mixing AWT and Swing is highly unsupported and can lead to ridiculous results, such as native buttons that obscure everything else in the dialog box in which they reside because everything else was created with Swing.

Because Swing tries to do everything possible in Java other than the very raw graphics routines provided by a native GUI window, it used to incur quite a performance penalty compared to AWT. This made Swing unfortunately slow to catch on. However, this has shrunk dramatically over the last several years due to more optimized JVMs, faster machines, and (I presume) optimization of the Swing internals. Today a Swing application can run fast enough to be serviceable or even zippy, and almost indistinguishable from an application using native widgets. Some will say it took far too long to get to this point, but most will say that it is well worth it.

Finally, you might also want to check out SWT (the GUI toolkit used for Eclipse, and an alternative to both AWT and Swing), which is somewhat of a return to the AWT idea of accessing native Widgets through Java.

Where does SVN client store user authentication data?

It sounds like you are doing everything exactly as the client credential section of the Subversion book suggests. The only thing I can think of is that the server isn't asking for the username and password because is getting it from somewhere else.

Can't access to HttpContext.Current

This is because you are referring to property of controller named HttpContext. To access the current context use full class name:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current

However this is highly not recommended to access context like this in ASP.NET MVC, so yes, you can think of System.Web.HttpContext.Current as being deprecated inside ASP.NET MVC. The correct way to access current context is

this.ControllerContext.HttpContext

or if you are inside a Controller, just use member

this.HttpContext

Converting UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in Java - how to keep it as single byte

If you have the correct encoding in the string, you need not do more to get the bytes for another encoding.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    printBytes("â");
    System.out.println(
            new String(new byte[] { (byte) 0xE2 }, "ISO-8859-1"));
    System.out.println(
            new String(new byte[] { (byte) 0xC3, (byte) 0xA2 }, "UTF-8"));
}

private static void printBytes(String str) {
    System.out.println("Bytes in " + str + " with ISO-8859-1");
    for (byte b : str.getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1)) {
        System.out.printf("%3X", b);
    }
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("Bytes in " + str + " with UTF-8");
    for (byte b : str.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) {
        System.out.printf("%3X", b);
    }
    System.out.println();
}

Output:

Bytes in â with ISO-8859-1
 E2
Bytes in â with UTF-8
 C3 A2
â
â

How to load image to WPF in runtime?

Make sure that your sas.png is marked as Build Action: Content and Copy To Output Directory: Copy Always in its Visual Studio Properties...

I think the C# source code goes like this...

Image image = new Image();
image.Source = (new ImageSourceConverter()).ConvertFromString("pack://application:,,,/Bilder/sas.png") as ImageSource;

and XAML should be

<Image Height="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,12,0,0" 
       Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" 
       Source="../Bilder/sas.png"
       Width="350" />  

EDIT

Dynamically I think XAML would provide best way to load Images ...

<Image Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource MyImageSourceConverter}}"
       x:Name="MyImage"/>

where image.DataContext is string path.

MyImage.DataContext = "pack://application:,,,/Bilder/sas.png";

public class MyImageSourceConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value_, Type targetType_, 
    object parameter_, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture_)
    {
        return (new ImageSourceConverter()).ConvertFromString (value.ToString());
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, 
    object parameter, CultureInfo culture)

Can you use a trailing comma in a JSON object?

Interestingly, both C & C++ (and I think C#, but I'm not sure) specifically allow the trailing comma -- for exactly the reason given: It make programmaticly generating lists much easier. Not sure why JavaScript didn't follow their lead.

How to know elastic search installed version from kibana?

If you have installed x-pack to secure elasticseach, the request should contains the valid credential details.

curl -XGET -u "elastic:passwordForElasticUser" 'localhost:9200'

Infact, if the security enabled all the subsequent requests should follow the same pattern (inline credentials should be provided).

how to insert datetime into the SQL Database table?

You will need to have a datetime column in a table. Then you can do an insert like the following to insert the current date:

INSERT INTO MyTable (MyDate) Values (GetDate())

If it is not today's date then you should be able to use a string and specify the date format:

INSERT INTO MyTable (MyDate) Values (Convert(DateTime,'19820626',112)) --6/26/1982

You do not always need to convert the string either, often you can just do something like:

INSERT INTO MyTable (MyDate) Values ('06/26/1982') 

And SQL Server will figure it out for you.

Issue with parsing the content from json file with Jackson & message- JsonMappingException -Cannot deserialize as out of START_ARRAY token

As said, JsonMappingException: out of START_ARRAY token exception is thrown by Jackson object mapper as it's expecting an Object {} whereas it found an Array [{}] in response.

A simpler solution could be replacing the method getLocations with:

public static List<Location> getLocations(InputStream inputStream) {
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    try {
        TypeReference<List<Location>> typeReference = new TypeReference<>() {};
        return objectMapper.readValue(inputStream, typeReference);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

On the other hand, if you don't have a pojo like Location, you could use:

TypeReference<List<Map<String, Object>>> typeReference = new TypeReference<>() {};
return objectMapper.readValue(inputStream, typeReference);

Ruby: Merging variables in to a string

You can use it with your local variables, like this:

@animal = "Dog"
@action = "licks"
@second_animal = "Bird"

"The #{@animal} #{@action} the #{@second_animal}"

the output would be: "The Dog licks the Bird"

Why do we always prefer using parameters in SQL statements?

Old post but wanted to ensure newcomers are aware of Stored procedures.

My 10¢ worth here is that if you are able to write your SQL statement as a stored procedure, that in my view is the optimum approach. I ALWAYS use stored procs and never loop through records in my main code. For Example: SQL Table > SQL Stored Procedures > IIS/Dot.NET > Class.

When you use stored procedures, you can restrict the user to EXECUTE permission only, thus reducing security risks.

Your stored procedure is inherently paramerised, and you can specify input and output parameters.

The stored procedure (if it returns data via SELECT statement) can be accessed and read in the exact same way as you would a regular SELECT statement in your code.

It also runs faster as it is compiled on the SQL Server.

Did I also mention you can do multiple steps, e.g. update a table, check values on another DB server, and then once finally finished, return data to the client, all on the same server, and no interaction with the client. So this is MUCH faster than coding this logic in your code.

How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?

Ken Liu has it right in my opinion. The maven dependency plugin allows you to expand all the dependencies, which you can then treat as resources. This allows you to include them in the main artifact. The use of the assembly plugin creates a secondary artifact which can be difficult to modify - in my case I wanted to add custom manifest entries. My pom ended up as:

<project>
 ...
 <build>
  <plugins>
   <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
     <execution>
      <id>unpack-dependencies</id>

  ...

Why would Oracle.ManagedDataAccess not work when Oracle.DataAccess does?

A "little" late to the party but the real answer to this - if you use Oracle.ManagedDataAccess ODP.NET provider, you should forget about things like network\admin, Oracle client, Oracle_Home, etc.

Here is what you need

  1. Download and install Oracle Developer Tools for VS or ODAC. Note - Dev tools will install ODAC for you. This will create relatively small installation under C:\Program Files (x86). With full dev tools, under 60Mb
  2. In your project you will install Nuget package with corresponding version of ODP.net (Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll) which you will reference
  3. At this point you have 2 options to connect.

    • a) In the connection string set datasource in the following format

      DataSource=ServerName:Port/SID . . . or DataSource=IP:Port/SID . . .

    • b) Create tnsnames.ora file (only it is going to be different from previous experiences). Have entry in it:

      AAA = (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ServerNameOrIP)(PORT = 1521))
      (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = SIDNAME)))

      And place this file into your bin folder, where your application is running from. Now you can connect using your connection name - DataSource=AAA . . . So, even though you have tnsnames.ora, with ODP.net managed it works a bit different - you create local TNS file. And now, it is easy to manage it.

To summarize - with managed, no need for heavy Oracle Client, Oracle_home or knowing depths of oracle installation folders. Everything can be done within your .net application structures.

How do I find an element position in std::vector?

Take a look at the answers provided for this question: Invalid value for size_t?. Also you can use std::find_if with std::distance to get the index.

std::vector<type>::iterator iter = std::find_if(vec.begin(), vec.end(), comparisonFunc);
size_t index = std::distance(vec.begin(), iter);
if(index == vec.size()) 
{
    //invalid
}

How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory?

A modern stdlib way is using sysconfig module, available in version 2.7 and 3.2+. Unlike the current accepted answer, this method still works regardless of whether or not you have a virtual environment active.

Note: sysconfig (source) is not to be confused with the distutils.sysconfig submodule (source) mentioned in several other answers here. The latter is an entirely different module and it's lacking the get_paths function discussed below.

Python currently uses eight paths (docs):

  • stdlib: directory containing the standard Python library files that are not platform-specific.
  • platstdlib: directory containing the standard Python library files that are platform-specific.
  • platlib: directory for site-specific, platform-specific files.
  • purelib: directory for site-specific, non-platform-specific files.
  • include: directory for non-platform-specific header files.
  • platinclude: directory for platform-specific header files.
  • scripts: directory for script files.
  • data: directory for data files.

In most cases, users finding this question would be interested in the 'purelib' path (in some cases, you might be interested in 'platlib' too). The purelib path is where ordinary Python packages will be installed by tools like pip.

At system level, you'll see something like this:

# Linux
$ python3 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib'))"
/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages

# macOS (brew installed python3.8)
$ python3 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib'))"
/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.8.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages

# Windows
C:\> py -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib'))"
C:\Users\wim\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages

With a venv, you'll get something like this

# Linux
/tmp/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages

# macOS
/private/tmp/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages

# Windows
C:\Users\wim\AppData\Local\Temp\.venv\Lib\site-packages

The function sysconfig.get_paths() returns a dict of all of the relevant installation paths, example on Linux:

>>> import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_paths()
{'stdlib': '/usr/local/lib/python3.8',
 'platstdlib': '/usr/local/lib/python3.8',
 'purelib': '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages',
 'platlib': '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages',
 'include': '/usr/local/include/python3.8',
 'platinclude': '/usr/local/include/python3.8',
 'scripts': '/usr/local/bin',
 'data': '/usr/local'}

A shell script is also available to display these details, which you can invoke by executing sysconfig as a module:

python -m sysconfig

Differences between SP initiated SSO and IDP initiated SSO

SP Initiated SSO

Bill the user: "Hey Jimmy, show me that report"

Jimmy the SP: "Hey, I'm not sure who you are yet. We have a process here so you go get yourself verified with Bob the IdP first. I trust him."

Bob the IdP: "I see Jimmy sent you here. Please give me your credentials."

Bill the user: "Hi I'm Bill. Here are my credentials."

Bob the IdP: "Hi Bill. Looks like you check out."

Bob the IdP: "Hey Jimmy. This guy Bill checks out and here's some additional information about him. You do whatever you want from here."

Jimmy the SP: "Ok cool. Looks like Bill is also in our list of known guests. I'll let Bill in."

IdP Initiated SSO

Bill the user: "Hey Bob. I want to go to Jimmy's place. Security is tight over there."

Bob the IdP: "Hey Jimmy. I trust Bill. He checks out and here's some additional information about him. You do whatever you want from here."

Jimmy the SP: "Ok cool. Looks like Bill is also in our list of known guests. I'll let Bill in."

Selenium wait until document is ready

I tried this code and it works for me. I call this function every time I move to another page

public static void waitForPageToBeReady() 
{
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

    //This loop will rotate for 100 times to check If page Is ready after every 1 second.
    //You can replace your if you wants to Increase or decrease wait time.
    for (int i=0; i<400; i++)
    { 
        try 
        {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }catch (InterruptedException e) {} 
        //To check page ready state.

        if (js.executeScript("return document.readyState").toString().equals("complete"))
        { 
            break; 
        }   
      }
 }

Input size vs width

I want to say this goes against the "conventional wisdom", but I generally prefer to use size. The reason for this is precisely the reason that many people say not to: the width of the field will vary from browser to browser, depending on font size. Specifically, it will always be large enough to display the specified number of characters, regardless of browser settings.

For example, if I have a date field, I typically want the field wide enough to display either 8 or 10 characters (two digit month and day and either two or four digit year, with separators). Setting the size attribute essentially guarantees me that the entire date will be visible, with minimal wasted space. Similarly for most numbers - I know the range of values expected, so I'll set the size attribute to the proper number of digits, plus decimal point if applicable.

As far as I can tell, no CSS attribute does this. Setting a width in em, for example, is based off the height, not the width, and thus is not very precise if you want to display a known number of characters.

Of course, this logic doesn't always apply - a name entry field, for example, could contain any number of characters. In those cases I'll fall back to CSS width properties, typically in px. However, I would say the majority of fields I make have some sort of known content, and by specifying the size attribute I can make sure that most of the content, in most cases, is displayed without clipping.

PHP, getting variable from another php-file

using include 'page1.php' in second page is one option but it can generate warnings and errors of undefined variables.
Three methods by which you can use variables of one php file in another php file:

  • use session to pass variable from one page to another
    method:
    first you have to start the session in both the files using php command

    sesssion_start();
    then in first file consider you have one variable
    $x='var1';

    now assign value of $x to a session variable using this:
    $_SESSION['var']=$x;
    now getting value in any another php file:
    $y=$_SESSION['var'];//$y is any declared variable

  • using get method and getting variables on clicking a link
    method

    <a href="page2.php?variable1=value1&variable2=value2">clickme</a>
    getting values in page2.php file by $_GET function:
    $x=$_GET['variable1'];//value1 be stored in $x
    $y=$_GET['variable2'];//vale2 be stored in $y

  • if you want to pass variable value using button then u can use it by following method:

    $x='value1'
    <input type="submit" name='btn1' value='.$x.'/>
    in second php
    $var=$_POST['btn1'];

Replace text in HTML page with jQuery

...I have a string "-9o0-9909" and I want to replace it with another string.

Jokes aside, replacing text nodes is not trivial with JavaScript.

I've written a post about this: Replacing text with JavaScript.

What is the use of static constructors?

Static constructors are also very useful when you have static fields that rely upon each other such that the order of initialization is important. If you run your code through a formatter/beautifier that changes the order of the fields then you may find yourself with null values where you didn't expect them.

Example: Suppose we had this class:

class ScopeMonitor
{
    static string urlFragment = "foo/bar";
    static string firstPart= "http://www.example.com/";
    static string fullUrl= firstPart + urlFragment;
}

When you access fullUr, it will be "http://www.example.com/foo/bar".

Months later you're cleaning up your code and alphabetize the fields (let's say they're part of a much larger list, so you don't notice the problem). You have:

class ScopeMonitor
{
    static string firstPart= "http://www.example.com/";
    static string fullUrl= firstPart + urlFragment;
    static string urlFragment = "foo/bar";
}

Your fullUrl value is now just "http://www.example.com/" since urlFragment hadn't been initialized at the time fullUrl was being set. Not good. So, you add a static constructor to take care of the initialization:

class ScopeMonitor
{
    static string firstPart= "http://www.example.com/";
    static string fullUrl;
    static string urlFragment = "foo/bar";

    static ScopeMonitor()
    {
        fullUrl= firstPart + urlFragment;

    }
}

Now, no matter what order you have the fields, the initialization will always be correct.

PowerShell script to return members of multiple security groups

If you don't care what groups the users were in, and just want a big ol' list of users - this does the job:

$Groups = Get-ADGroup -Filter {Name -like "AB*"}

$rtn = @(); ForEach ($Group in $Groups) {
    $rtn += (Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "$($Group.Name)" -Recursive)
}

Then the results:

How to concatenate two layers in keras?

You're getting the error because result defined as Sequential() is just a container for the model and you have not defined an input for it.

Given what you're trying to build set result to take the third input x3.

first = Sequential()
first.add(Dense(1, input_shape=(2,), activation='sigmoid'))

second = Sequential()
second.add(Dense(1, input_shape=(1,), activation='sigmoid'))

third = Sequential()
# of course you must provide the input to result which will be your x3
third.add(Dense(1, input_shape=(1,), activation='sigmoid'))

# lets say you add a few more layers to first and second.
# concatenate them
merged = Concatenate([first, second])

# then concatenate the two outputs

result = Concatenate([merged,  third])

ada_grad = Adagrad(lr=0.1, epsilon=1e-08, decay=0.0)

result.compile(optimizer=ada_grad, loss='binary_crossentropy',
               metrics=['accuracy'])

However, my preferred way of building a model that has this type of input structure would be to use the functional api.

Here is an implementation of your requirements to get you started:

from keras.models import Model
from keras.layers import Concatenate, Dense, LSTM, Input, concatenate
from keras.optimizers import Adagrad

first_input = Input(shape=(2, ))
first_dense = Dense(1, )(first_input)

second_input = Input(shape=(2, ))
second_dense = Dense(1, )(second_input)

merge_one = concatenate([first_dense, second_dense])

third_input = Input(shape=(1, ))
merge_two = concatenate([merge_one, third_input])

model = Model(inputs=[first_input, second_input, third_input], outputs=merge_two)
ada_grad = Adagrad(lr=0.1, epsilon=1e-08, decay=0.0)
model.compile(optimizer=ada_grad, loss='binary_crossentropy',
               metrics=['accuracy'])

To answer the question in the comments:

  1. How are result and merged connected? Assuming you mean how are they concatenated.

Concatenation works like this:

  a        b         c
a b c   g h i    a b c g h i
d e f   j k l    d e f j k l

i.e rows are just joined.

  1. Now, x1 is input to first, x2 is input into second and x3 input into third.

Python: Is there an equivalent of mid, right, and left from BASIC?

[1,2]

#Last Two(Right)# edited
print(thadari[-2:])
[5,6]

#mid
mid = len(thadari) //2

lefthalf = thadari[:mid]

Should a function have only one return statement?

I think in different situations different method is better. For example, if you should process the return value before return, you should have one point of exit. But in other situations, it is more comfortable to use several returns.

One note. If you should process the return value before return in several situations, but not in all, the best solutions (IMHO) to define a method like ProcessVal and call it before return:

var retVal = new RetVal();

if(!someCondition)
    return ProcessVal(retVal);

if(!anotherCondition)
   return retVal;

    const userRef = this.db.collection("users").doc(userId);

    this.db.runTransaction(transaction => {
        // This code may get re-run multiple times if there are conflicts.
        return transaction.get(userRef).then(doc => {
            if (!doc.data().bookings) {
                transaction.set({
                    bookings: [booking]
                });
            } else {
                const bookings = doc.data().bookings;
                bookings.push(booking);
                transaction.update(userRef, { bookings: bookings });
            }
        });
    }).then(function () {
        console.log("Transaction successfully committed!");
    }).catch(function (error) {

How do I call a non-static method from a static method in C#?

Apologized to post answer for very old thread but i believe my answer may help other.

With the help of delegate the same thing can be achieved.

public class MyClass
{
    private static Action NonStaticDelegate;

    public void NonStaticMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Non-Static!");
    }

    public static void CaptureDelegate()
    {
        MyClass temp = new MyClass();
        MyClass.NonStaticDelegate = new Action(temp.NonStaticMethod);
    }

    public static void RunNonStaticMethod()
    {
        if (MyClass.NonStaticDelegate != null)
        {
            // This will run the non-static method.
            //  Note that you still needed to create an instance beforehand
            MyClass.NonStaticDelegate();
        }
    }
}

Difference between WebStorm and PHPStorm

I couldn't find any major points on JetBrains' website and even Google didn't help that much.

You should train your search-fu twice as harder.


FROM: http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/

NOTE: PhpStorm includes all the functionality of WebStorm (HTML/CSS Editor, JavaScript Editor) and adds full-fledged support for PHP and Databases/SQL.


Their forum also has quite few answers for such question.


Basically: PhpStorm = WebStorm + PHP + Database support

WebStorm comes with certain (mainly) JavaScript oriented plugins bundled by default while they need to be installed manually in PhpStorm (if necessary).

At the same time: plugins that require PHP support would not be able to install in WebStorm (for obvious reasons).

P.S. Since WebStorm has different release cycle than PhpStorm, it can have new JS/CSS/HTML oriented features faster than PhpStorm (it's all about platform builds used).

For example: latest stable PhpStorm is v7.1.4 while WebStorm is already on v8.x. But, PhpStorm v8 will be released in approximately 1 month (accordingly to their road map), which means that stable version of PhpStorm will include some of the features that will only be available in WebStorm v9 (quite few months from now, lets say 2-3-5) -- if using/comparing stable versions ONLY.

UPDATE (2016-12-13): Since 2016.1 version PhpStorm and WebStorm use the same version/build numbers .. so there is no longer difference between the same versions: functionality present in WebStorm 2016.3 is the same as in PhpStorm 2016.3 (if the same plugins are installed, of course).


Everything that I know atm. is that PHPStorm doesn't support JS part like Webstorm

That's not correct (your wording). Missing "extra" technology in PhpStorm (for example: node, angularjs) does not mean that basic JavaScript support has missing functionality. Any "extras" can be easily installed (or deactivated, if not required).


UPDATE (2016-12-13): Here is the list of plugins that are bundled with WebStorm 2016.3 but require manual installation in PhpStorm 2016.3 (if you need them, of course):

  • Cucumber.js
  • Dart
  • EditorConfig
  • EJS
  • Handelbars/Mustache

Hibernate Annotations - Which is better, field or property access?

I think annotating the property is better because updating fields directly breaks encapsulation, even when your ORM does it.

Here's a great example of where it will burn you: you probably want your annotations for hibernate validator & persistence in the same place (either fields or properties). If you want to test your hibernate validator powered validations which are annotated on a field, you can't use a mock of your entity to isolate your unit test to just the validator. Ouch.

How to display a list using ViewBag

 var getlist= ViewBag.Listdata as IEnumerable<myproject.models.listmodel>;

<span>getlist[0].name</span>

Open multiple Eclipse workspaces on the Mac

This seems to be the supported native method in OS X:

cd /Applications/eclipse/

open -n Eclipse.app

Be sure to specify the ".app" version (directory); in OS X Mountain Lion erroneously using the symbolic link such as open -n eclipse, might get one GateKeeper stopping access:

"eclipse" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.

Even removing the extended attribute com.apple.quarantine does not fix that. Instead, simply using the ".app" version will rely on your previous consent, or prompt you once:

"Eclipse" is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
