Make TextBox uneditable

You can try using:

textBox.ReadOnly = true;
textBox.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window;

The last line is only neccessary if you want a non-grey background color.

Overriding a JavaScript function while referencing the original

In my opinion the top answers are not readable/maintainable, and the other answers do not properly bind context. Here's a readable solution using ES6 syntax to solve both these problems.

const orginial = someObject.foo;
someObject.foo = function() {
  if (condition) orginial.bind(this)(...arguments);
};

How to compare pointers?

For a bit of facts here is the relevant text from the specifications

Equality operator (==,!=)

Pointers to objects of the same type can be compared for equality with the 'intuitive' expected results:

From § 5.10 of the C++11 standard:

Pointers of the same type (after pointer conversions) can be compared for equality. Two pointers of the same type compare equal if and only if they are both null, both point to the same function, or both represent the same address (3.9.2).

(leaving out details on comparison of pointers to member and or the null pointer constants - they continue down the same line of 'Do What I Mean':)

  • [...] If both operands are null, they compare equal. Otherwise if only one is null, they compare unequal.[...]

The most 'conspicuous' caveat has to do with virtuals, and it does seem to be the logical thing to expect too:

  • [...] if either is a pointer to a virtual member function, the result is unspecified. Otherwise they compare equal if and only if they would refer to the same member of the same most derived object (1.8) or the same subobject if they were dereferenced with a hypothetical object of the associated class type. [...]

Relational operators (<,>,<=,>=)

From § 5.9 of the C++11 standard:

Pointers to objects or functions of the same type (after pointer conversions) can be compared, with a result defined as follows:

  1. If two pointers p and q of the same type point to the same object or function, or both point one past the end of the same array, or are both null, then p<=q and p>=q both yield true and p<q and p>q both yield false.
  2. If two pointers p and q of the same type point to different objects that are not members of the same object or elements of the same array or to different functions, or if only one of them is null, the results of p<q, p>q, p<=q, and p>=q are unspecified.
  3. If two pointers point to non-static data members of the same object, or to subobjects or array elements of such members, recursively, the pointer to the later declared member compares greater provided the two members have the same access control (Clause 11) and provided their class is not a union.
  4. If two pointers point to non-static data members of the same object with different access control (Clause 11) the result is unspecified.
  5. If two pointers point to non-static data members of the same union object, they compare equal (after conversion to void*, if necessary). If two pointers point to elements of the same array or one beyond the end of the array, the pointer to the object with the higher subscript compares higher.
  6. Other pointer comparisons are unspecified.

So, if you had:

int arr[3];
int *a = arr;
int *b = a + 1;
assert(a != b); // OK! well defined

Also OK:

struct X { int x,y; } s;
int *a = &s.x;
int *b = &s.y;
assert(b > a); // OK! well defined

But it depends on the something in your question:

int g; 
int main()
{
     int h;
     int i;

     int *a = &g;
     int *b = &h; // can't compare a <=> b
     int *c = &i; // can't compare b <=> c, or a <=> c etc.
     // but a==b, b!=c, a!=c etc. are supported just fine
}

Bonus: what else is there in the standard library?

§ 20.8.5/8: "For templates greater, less, greater_equal, and less_equal, the specializations for any pointer type yield a total order, even if the built-in operators <, >, <=, >= do not."

So, you can globally order any odd void* as long as you use std::less<> and friends, not bare operator<.

C++ IDE for Linux?

  1. Code::Blocks
  2. Eclipse CDT

Soon you'll find that IDEs are not enough, and you'll have to learn the GCC toolchain anyway (which isn't hard, at least learning the basic functionality). But no harm in reducing the transitional pain with the IDEs, IMO.

How to view the Folder and Files in GAC?

Launch the program "Run" (Windows Vista/7/8: type it in the start menu search bar) and type: C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL

Then move to the parent folder (Windows Vista/7/8: by clicking on it in the explorer bar) to see all the GAC files in a normal explorer window. You can now copy, add and remove files as everywhere else.

git remote prune – didn't show as many pruned branches as I expected

When you use git push origin :staleStuff, it automatically removes origin/staleStuff, so when you ran git remote prune origin, you have pruned some branch that was removed by someone else. It's more likely that your co-workers now need to run git prune to get rid of branches you have removed.


So what exactly git remote prune does? Main idea: local branches (not tracking branches) are not touched by git remote prune command and should be removed manually.

Now, a real-world example for better understanding:

You have a remote repository with 2 branches: master and feature. Let's assume that you are working on both branches, so as a result you have these references in your local repository (full reference names are given to avoid any confusion):

  • refs/heads/master (short name master)
  • refs/heads/feature (short name feature)
  • refs/remotes/origin/master (short name origin/master)
  • refs/remotes/origin/feature (short name origin/feature)

Now, a typical scenario:

  1. Some other developer finishes all work on the feature, merges it into master and removes feature branch from remote repository.
  2. By default, when you do git fetch (or git pull), no references are removed from your local repository, so you still have all those 4 references.
  3. You decide to clean them up, and run git remote prune origin.
  4. git detects that feature branch no longer exists, so refs/remotes/origin/feature is a stale branch which should be removed.
  5. Now you have 3 references, including refs/heads/feature, because git remote prune does not remove any refs/heads/* references.

It is possible to identify local branches, associated with remote tracking branches, by branch.<branch_name>.merge configuration parameter. This parameter is not really required for anything to work (probably except git pull), so it might be missing.

(updated with example & useful info from comments)

How to get class object's name as a string in Javascript?

Short answer: No. myObj isn't the name of the object, it's the name of a variable holding a reference to the object - you could have any number of other variables holding a reference to the same object.

Now, if it's your program, then you make the rules: if you want to say that any given object will only be referenced by one variable, ever, and diligently enforce that in your code, then just set a property on the object with the name of the variable.

That said, i doubt what you're asking for is actually what you really want. Maybe describe your problem in a bit more detail...?


Pedantry: JavaScript doesn't have classes. someObject is a constructor function. Given a reference to an object, you can obtain a reference to the function that created it using the constructor property.


In response to the additional details you've provided:

The answer you're looking for can be found here: JavaScript Callback Scope (and in response to numerous other questions on SO - it's a common point of confusion for those new to JS). You just need to wrap the call to the object member in a closure that preserves access to the context object.

grep from tar.gz without extracting [faster one]

I know this question is 4 years old, but I have a couple different options:

Option 1: Using tar --to-command grep

The following line will look in example.tgz for PATTERN. This is similar to @Jester's example, but I couldn't get his pattern matching to work.

tar xzf example.tgz --to-command 'grep --label="$TAR_FILENAME" -H PATTERN ; true'

Option 2: Using tar -tzf

The second option is using tar -tzf to list the files, then go through them with grep. You can create a function to use it over and over:

targrep () {
    for i in $(tar -tzf "$1"); do
        results=$(tar -Oxzf "$1" "$i" | grep --label="$i" -H "$2")
        echo "$results"
    done
}

Usage:

targrep example.tar.gz "pattern"

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

You should inspect full trace very carefully,

I've a server socket application and fixed a java.net.SocketException: Connection reset case.

In my case it happens while reading from a clientSocket Socket object which is closed its connection because of some reason. (Network lost,firewall or application crash or intended close)

Actually I was re-establishing connection when I got an error while reading from this Socket object.

Socket clientSocket = ServerSocket.accept();
is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
int readed = is.read(); // WHERE ERROR STARTS !!!

The interesting thing is for my JAVA Socket if a client connects to my ServerSocket and close its connection without sending anything is.read() is being called repeatedly.It seems because of being in an infinite while loop for reading from this socket you try to read from a closed connection. If you use something like below for read operation;

while(true)
{
  Receive();
}

Then you get a stackTrace something like below on and on

java.net.SocketException: Socket is closed
    at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:494)

What I did is just closing ServerSocket and renewing my connection and waiting for further incoming client connections

String Receive() throws Exception
{
try {                   
            int readed = is.read();
           ....
}catch(Exception e)
{
        tryReConnect();
        logit(); //etc
}


//...
}

This reestablises my connection for unknown client socket losts

private void tryReConnect()
        {
            try
            {
                ServerSocket.close();
                //empty my old lost connection and let it get by garbage col. immediately 
                clientSocket=null;
                System.gc();
                //Wait a new client Socket connection and address this to my local variable
                clientSocket= ServerSocket.accept(); // Waiting for another Connection
                System.out.println("Connection established...");
            }catch (Exception e) {
                String message="ReConnect not successful "+e.getMessage();
                logit();//etc...
            }
        }

I couldn't find another way because as you see from below image you can't understand whether connection is lost or not without a try and catch ,because everything seems right . I got this snapshot while I was getting Connection reset continuously.

PDO closing connection

Its more than just setting the connection to null. That may be what the documentation says, but that is not the truth for mysql. The connection will stay around for a bit longer (Ive heard 60s, but never tested it)

If you want to here the full explanation see this comment on the connections https://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.connections.php#114822

To force the close the connection you have to do something like

$this->connection = new PDO();
$this->connection->query('KILL CONNECTION_ID()');
$this->connection = null;

Build .so file from .c file using gcc command line

To generate a shared library you need first to compile your C code with the -fPIC (position independent code) flag.

gcc -c -fPIC hello.c -o hello.o

This will generate an object file (.o), now you take it and create the .so file:

gcc hello.o -shared -o libhello.so

EDIT: Suggestions from the comments:

You can use

gcc -shared -o libhello.so -fPIC hello.c

to do it in one step. – Jonathan Leffler

I also suggest to add -Wall to get all warnings, and -g to get debugging information, to your gcc commands. – Basile Starynkevitch

Compiler error: "initializer element is not a compile-time constant"

The reason is that your are defining your imageSegment outside of a function in your source code (static variable).

In such cases, the initialization cannot include execution of code, like calling a function or allocation a class. Initializer must be a constant whose value is known at compile time.

You can then initialize your static variable inside of your init method (if you postpone its declaration to init).

How to scale a BufferedImage

To scale an image, you need to create a new image and draw into it. One way is to use the filter() method of an AffineTransferOp, as suggested here. This allows you to choose the interpolation technique.

private static BufferedImage scale1(BufferedImage before, double scale) {
    int w = before.getWidth();
    int h = before.getHeight();
    // Create a new image of the proper size
    int w2 = (int) (w * scale);
    int h2 = (int) (h * scale);
    BufferedImage after = new BufferedImage(w2, h2, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    AffineTransform scaleInstance = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scale, scale);
    AffineTransformOp scaleOp 
        = new AffineTransformOp(scaleInstance, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);

    scaleOp.filter(before, after);
    return after;
}

Another way is to simply draw the original image into the new image, using a scaling operation to do the scaling. This method is very similar, but it also illustrates how you can draw anything you want in the final image. (I put in a blank line where the two methods start to differ.)

private static BufferedImage scale2(BufferedImage before, double scale) {
    int w = before.getWidth();
    int h = before.getHeight();
    // Create a new image of the proper size
    int w2 = (int) (w * scale);
    int h2 = (int) (h * scale);
    BufferedImage after = new BufferedImage(w2, h2, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    AffineTransform scaleInstance = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scale, scale);
    AffineTransformOp scaleOp 
        = new AffineTransformOp(scaleInstance, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);

    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) after.getGraphics();
    // Here, you may draw anything you want into the new image, but we're
    // drawing a scaled version of the original image.
    g2.drawImage(before, scaleOp, 0, 0);
    g2.dispose();
    return after;
}

Addendum: Results

To illustrate the differences, I compared the results of the five methods below. Here is what the results look like, scaled both up and down, along with performance data. (Performance varies from one run to the next, so take these numbers only as rough guidelines.) The top image is the original. I scale it double-size and half-size.

As you can see, AffineTransformOp.filter(), used in scaleBilinear(), is faster than the standard drawing method of Graphics2D.drawImage() in scale2(). Also BiCubic interpolation is the slowest, but gives the best results when expanding the image. (For performance, it should only be compared with scaleBilinear() and scaleNearest().) Bilinear seems to be better for shrinking the image, although it's a tough call. And NearestNeighbor is the fastest, with the worst results. Bilinear seems to be the best compromise between speed and quality. The Image.getScaledInstance(), called in the questionable() method, performed very poorly, and returned the same low quality as NearestNeighbor. (Performance numbers are only given for expanding the image.)

enter image description here

public static BufferedImage scaleBilinear(BufferedImage before, double scale) {
    final int interpolation = AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR;
    return scale(before, scale, interpolation);
}

public static BufferedImage scaleBicubic(BufferedImage before, double scale) {
    final int interpolation = AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BICUBIC;
    return scale(before, scale, interpolation);
}

public static BufferedImage scaleNearest(BufferedImage before, double scale) {
    final int interpolation = AffineTransformOp.TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR;
    return scale(before, scale, interpolation);
}

    AffineTransformOp scaleOp = new AffineTransformOp(scaleInstance, type);
    scaleOp.filter(before, after);
    return after;
}

How to get started with Windows 7 gadgets

Here's an MSDN article on Vista Gadgets. Some preliminary documentation on 7 gadgets, and changes. I think the only major changes are that Gadgets don't reside in the Sidebar anymore, and as such "dock/undock events" are now backwards-compatibility cludges that really shouldn't be used.

Best way to get started is probably to just tweak an existing gadget. There's an example gadget in the above link, or you could pick a different one out on your own.

Gadgets are written in HTML, CSS, and some IE scripting language (generally Javascript, but I believe VBScript also works). For really fancy things you might need to create an ActiveX object, so C#/C++ for COM could be useful to know.

Gadgets are packaged as ".gadget" files, which are just renamed Zip archives that contain a gadget manifest (gadget.xml) in their top level.

From my experience, the problem not with EF, but with ORM approach itself.

In general all ORMs suffers from N+1 problem not optimized queries and etc. My best guess would be to track down queries that causes performance degradation and try to tune-up ORM tool, or rewrite that parts with SPROC.

sorting dictionary python 3

I don't think you want an OrderedDict. It sounds like you'd prefer a SortedDict, that is a dict that maintains its keys in sorted order. The sortedcontainers module provides just such a data type. It's written in pure-Python, fast-as-C implementations, has 100% coverage and hours of stress.

Installation is easy with pip:

pip install sortedcontainers

Note that if you can't pip install then you can simply pull the source files from the open-source repository.

Then you're code is simply:

from sortedcontainers import SortedDict
myDic = SortedDict({10: 'b', 3:'a', 5:'c'})
sorted_list = list(myDic.keys())

The sortedcontainers module also maintains a performance comparison with other popular implementations.

extra qualification error in C++

This is because you have the following code:

class JSONDeserializer
{
    Value JSONDeserializer::ParseValue(TDR type, const json_string& valueString);
};

This is not valid C++ but Visual Studio seems to accept it. You need to change it to the following code to be able to compile it with a standard compliant compiler (gcc is more compliant to the standard on this point).

class JSONDeserializer
{
    Value ParseValue(TDR type, const json_string& valueString);
};

The error come from the fact that JSONDeserializer::ParseValue is a qualified name (a name with a namespace qualification), and such a name is forbidden as a method name in a class.

@WilliamJockusch, if I understood correctly your concern, it's not possible (from a mathematical point of view) to always identify an infinite recursion as it would mean to solve the Halting problem. To solve it you'd need a Super-recursive algorithm (like Trial-and-error predicates for example) or a machine that can hypercompute (an example is explained in the following section - available as preview - of this book).

From a practical point of view, you'd have to know:

  • How much stack memory you have left at the given time
  • How much stack memory your recursive method will need at the given time for the specific output.

Keep in mind that, with the current machines, this data is extremely mutable due to multitasking and I haven't heard of a software that does the task.

Let me know if something is unclear.

Is there a way to 'uniq' by column?

If you want to retain the last one of the duplicates you could use

 tac a.csv | sort -u -t, -r -k1,1 |tac

Which was my requirement

tac will reverse the file line by line

How do I resolve git saying "Commit your changes or stash them before you can merge"?

In my case, I backed up and then deleted the file that Git was complaining about, committed, then I was able to finally check out another branch.

I then replaced the file, copied back in the contents and continued as though nothing happened.

Why is my power operator (^) not working?

pow() doesn't work with int, hence the error "error C2668:'pow': ambiguous call to overloaded function"

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cmath/pow/

Write your own power function for ints:

int power(int base, int exp)
{
    int result = 1;
    while(exp) { result *= base; exp--; }
    return result;
}

"Least Astonishment" and the Mutable Default Argument

I sometimes exploit this behavior as an alternative to the following pattern:

singleton = None

def use_singleton():
    global singleton

    if singleton is None:
        singleton = _make_singleton()

    return singleton.use_me()

If singleton is only used by use_singleton, I like the following pattern as a replacement:

# _make_singleton() is called only once when the def is executed
def use_singleton(singleton=_make_singleton()):
    return singleton.use_me()

I've used this for instantiating client classes that access external resources, and also for creating dicts or lists for memoization.

Since I don't think this pattern is well known, I do put a short comment in to guard against future misunderstandings.

PHP syntax question: What does the question mark and colon mean?

This is the PHP ternary operator (also known as a conditional operator) - if first operand evaluates true, evaluate as second operand, else evaluate as third operand.

Think of it as an "if" statement you can use in expressions. Can be very useful in making concise assignments that depend on some condition, e.g.

$param = isset($_GET['param']) ? $_GET['param'] : 'default';

There's also a shorthand version of this (in PHP 5.3 onwards). You can leave out the middle operand. The operator will evaluate as the first operand if it true, and the third operand otherwise. For example:

$result = $x ?: 'default';

It is worth mentioning that the above code when using i.e. $_GET or $_POST variable will throw undefined index notice and to prevent that we need to use a longer version, with isset or a null coalescing operator which is introduced in PHP7:

$param = $_GET['param'] ?? 'default';

No newline at end of file

Source files are often concatenated by tools (C, C++: header files, Javascript: bundlers). If you omit the newline character, you could introduce nasty bugs (where the last line of one source is concatenated with the first line of the next source file). Hopefully all the source code concat tools out there insert a newline between concatenated files anyway but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

The crux of the issue is - in most languages, newlines have semantic meaning and end-of-file is not a language defined alternative for the newline character. So you ought to terminate every statement/expression with a newline character -- including the last one.

Arduino error: does not name a type?

More recently, I have found that other factors will also cause this error. I had an AES.h, AES.cpp containing a AES class and it gave this same unhelpful error. Only when I renamed to Encryption.h, Encryption.cpp and Encryption as the class name did it suddenly start working. There were no other code changes.

How to get current instance name from T-SQL

Just found the answer, in this SO question (literally, inside the question, not any answer):

returns servername\instance as far as this is not the default instance

SELECT @@servicename

returns instance name, even if this is the default (MSSQLSERVER)

HashMaps and Null values?

Its a good programming practice to avoid having null values in a Map.

If you have an entry with null value, then it is not possible to tell whether an entry is present in the map or has a null value associated with it.

You can either define a constant for such cases (Example: String NOT_VALID = "#NA"), or you can have another collection storing keys which have null values.

Please check this link for more details.

DBCC SHRINKFILE on log file not reducing size even after BACKUP LOG TO DISK

In addition to the steps you have already taken, you will need to set the recovery mode to simple before you can shrink the log.

See example B on this DBCC SHRINKFILE (Transact-SQL) msdn page for an example, and explanation.

How to git reset --hard a subdirectory?

Ajedi32's answer is what I was looking for but for some commits I ran into this error:

error: cannot apply binary patch to 'path/to/directory' without full index line

May be because some files of the directory are binary files. Adding '--binary' option to the git diff command fixed it:

git diff --binary --cached commit -- path/to/directory | git apply -R --index

Change label text using JavaScript

Because your script runs BEFORE the label exists on the page (in the DOM). Either put the script after the label, or wait until the document has fully loaded (use an OnLoad function, such as the jQuery ready() or http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/onloads/)

This won't work:

<script>
  document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';
</script>
<label id="lbltipAddedComment">test</label>

This will work:

<label id="lbltipAddedComment">test</label>
<script>
  document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';
</script>

This example (jsfiddle link) maintains the order (script first, then label) and uses an onLoad:

<label id="lbltipAddedComment">test</label>
<script>
function addLoadEvent(func) {  
      var oldonload = window.onload;  
      if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {  
        window.onload = func;  
      } else {  
        window.onload = function() {  
          if (oldonload) {  
            oldonload();  
          }  
          func();  
        }  
      }  
    }  

   addLoadEvent(function() {  
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';

    });  
</script>

How to reset postgres' primary key sequence when it falls out of sync?

This issue happens with me when using entity framework to create the database and then seed the database with initial data, this makes the sequence mismatch.

I Solved it by Creating a script to run after seeding the database:

$do$
DECLARE tablename text;
BEGIN
    -- change the where statments to include or exclude whatever tables you need
    FOR tablename IN SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='public' AND table_type='BASE TABLE' AND table_name != '__EFMigrationsHistory'

How to load CSS Asynchronously

you can try to get it in a lot of ways :

1.Using media="bogus" and a <link> at the foot

<head>
    <!-- unimportant nonsense -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="bogus">
</head>
<body>
    <!-- other unimportant nonsense, such as content -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</body>

2.Inserting DOM in the old way

<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
  var bsa = document.createElement('script');
     bsa.type = 'text/javascript';
     bsa.async = true;
     bsa.src = 'https://s3.buysellads.com/ac/bsa.js';
  (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(bsa);
})();
</script>

3.if you can try plugins you could try loadCSS

<script>
  // include loadCSS here...
  function loadCSS( href, before, media ){ ... }
  // load a file
  loadCSS( "path/to/mystylesheet.css" );
</script>

Taskkill /f doesn't kill a process

As Francis mentioned some process can not be terminated because of

"unprocessed I/O requests"

In my experience i was dealing with buggy graphic driver that would cause my game to crash and not be able to close it, as last resort i disabled the graphic driver and the process finally went away.

If your application is waiting for a resource from driver like wifi or graphic try disabling them in device manager, you need to dig a little deep to see where they hanged.

This is of course not recommended but sometimes you have nothing to lose anymore.

Getting next element while cycling through a list

The simple solution is to remove IndexError by incorporating the condition:

if(index<(len(li)-1))

The error 'index out of range' will not occur now as the last index will not be reached. The idea is to access the next element while iterating. On reaching the penultimate element, you can access the last element.

Use enumerate method to add index or counter to an iterable(list, tuple, etc.). Now using the index+1, we can access the next element while iterating through the list.

li = [0, 1, 2, 3]

running = True
while running:
    for index, elem in enumerate(li):
        if(index<(len(li)-1)):
            thiselem = elem
            nextelem = li[index+1]

How to update specific key's value in an associative array in PHP?

The best approach is using a lambda within "array_walk" native function to make the required changes:

    array_walk($data, function (&$value, $key) {
            if($key == 'transaction_date'){ 
                  $value = date('d/m/Y', $value); 
            }
    });

The value is updated in the array as it's passed with as a reference "&".

Array[n] vs Array[10] - Initializing array with variable vs real number

In C++, variable length arrays are not legal. G++ allows this as an "extension" (because C allows it), so in G++ (without being -pedantic about following the C++ standard), you can do:

int n = 10;
double a[n]; // Legal in g++ (with extensions), illegal in proper C++

If you want a "variable length array" (better called a "dynamically sized array" in C++, since proper variable length arrays aren't allowed), you either have to dynamically allocate memory yourself:

int n = 10;
double* a = new double[n]; // Don't forget to delete [] a; when you're done!

Or, better yet, use a standard container:

int n = 10;
std::vector<double> a(n); // Don't forget to #include <vector>

If you still want a proper array, you can use a constant, not a variable, when creating it:

const int n = 10;
double a[n]; // now valid, since n isn't a variable (it's a compile time constant)

Similarly, if you want to get the size from a function in C++11, you can use a constexpr:

constexpr int n()
{
    return 10;
}

double a[n()]; // n() is a compile time constant expression

Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value ... to data type int

How to use "svn export" command to get a single file from the repository?

How do you clear a slice in Go?

Setting the slice to nil is the best way to clear a slice. nil slices in go are perfectly well behaved and setting the slice to nil will release the underlying memory to the garbage collector.

See playground

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func dump(letters []string) {
    fmt.Println("letters = ", letters)
    fmt.Println(cap(letters))
    fmt.Println(len(letters))
    for i := range letters {
        fmt.Println(i, letters[i])
    }
}

func main() {
    letters := []string{"a", "b", "c", "d"}
    dump(letters)
    // clear the slice
    letters = nil
    dump(letters)
    // add stuff back to it
    letters = append(letters, "e")
    dump(letters)
}

Prints

letters =  [a b c d]
4
4
0 a
1 b
2 c
3 d
letters =  []
0
0
letters =  [e]
1
1
0 e

Note that slices can easily be aliased so that two slices point to the same underlying memory. The setting to nil will remove that aliasing.

This method changes the capacity to zero though.

How do you concatenate Lists in C#?

I know this is old but I came upon this post quickly thinking Concat would be my answer. Union worked great for me. Note, it returns only unique values but knowing that I was getting unique values anyway this solution worked for me.

namespace TestProject
{
    public partial class Form1 :Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            List<string> FirstList = new List<string>();
            FirstList.Add("1234");
            FirstList.Add("4567");

            // In my code, I know I would not have this here but I put it in as a demonstration that it will not be in the secondList twice
            FirstList.Add("Three");  

            List<string> secondList = GetList(FirstList);            
            foreach (string item in secondList)
                Console.WriteLine(item);
        }

        private List<String> GetList(List<string> SortBy)
        {
            List<string> list = new List<string>();
            list.Add("One");
            list.Add("Two");
            list.Add("Three");

            list = list.Union(SortBy).ToList();

            return list;
        }
    }
}

The output is:

One
Two
Three
1234
4567

How to stop tracking and ignore changes to a file in Git?

Just calling git rm --cached on each of the files you want to remove from revision control should be fine. As long as your local ignore patterns are correct you won't see these files included in the output of git status.

Note that this solution removes the files from the repository, so all developers would need to maintain their own local (non-revision controlled) copies of the file

To prevent git from detecting changes in these files you should also use this command:

git update-index --assume-unchanged [path]

What you probably want to do: (from below @Ryan Taylor answer)

  1. This is to tell git you want your own independent version of the file or folder. For instance, you don't want to overwrite (or delete) production/staging config files.

git update-index --skip-worktree <path-name>

Check if a property exists in a class

There are 2 possibilities.

You really don't have Label property.

You need to call appropriate GetProperty overload and pass the correct binding flags, e.g. BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance

If your property is not public, you will need to use BindingFlags.NonPublic or some other combination of flags which fits your use case. Read the referenced API docs to find the details.

EDIT:

ooops, just noticed you call GetProperty on typeof(MyClass). typeof(MyClass) is Type which for sure has no Label property.

How to enable TLS 1.2 support in an Android application (running on Android 4.1 JB)

I have some additions to above mentioned answers Its infact a hack mentioned by Jesse Wilson from okhttp, square here. According to this hack, i had to rename my SSLSocketFactory variable to

private SSLSocketFactory delegate;

This is my TLSSocketFactory class

public class TLSSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory {

private SSLSocketFactory delegate;

public TLSSocketFactory() throws KeyManagementException, NoSuchAlgorithmException {
    SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
    context.init(null, null, null);
    delegate = context.getSocketFactory();
}

@Override
public String[] getDefaultCipherSuites() {
    return delegate.getDefaultCipherSuites();
}

@Override
public String[] getSupportedCipherSuites() {
    return delegate.getSupportedCipherSuites();
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket());
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(s, host, port, autoClose));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(String host, int port) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(host, port));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(String host, int port, InetAddress localHost, int localPort) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(host, port, localHost, localPort));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(InetAddress host, int port) throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(host, port));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort) throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(address, port, localAddress, localPort));
}

private Socket enableTLSOnSocket(Socket socket) {
    if(socket != null && (socket instanceof SSLSocket)) {
        ((SSLSocket)socket).setEnabledProtocols(new String[] {"TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"});
    }
    return socket;
}
}

How can I run a html file from terminal?

I think what you want is simply this.

Open the terminal

Navigate to the directory containing the HTML file

And simply type: browse (your file name) without the parentheses of course.

This will run your HTML file in Firefox browser.

Get root view from current activity

Another Kotlin Extension solution

If your activity's view is declared in xml (ex activity_root.xml), open the xml and assign an id to the root view:

android:id="@+id/root_activity"

Now in your class, import the view using:

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_root.root_activity

You can now use root_activity as the view.

the best way to make codeigniter website multi-language. calling from lang arrays depends on lang session?

For easier use CI have updated this so you can just use

$this->load->helper('language');

and to translate text

lang('language line');

and if you want to warp it inside label then use optional parameter

lang('language line', 'element id');

This will output

// becomes <label for="form_item_id">language_key</label>

How to fill OpenCV image with one solid color?

Using the OpenCV C API with IplImage* img:

Use cvSet(): cvSet(img, CV_RGB(redVal,greenVal,blueVal));

Using the OpenCV C++ API with cv::Mat img, then use either:

cv::Mat::operator=(const Scalar& s) as in:

img = cv::Scalar(redVal,greenVal,blueVal);

or the more general, mask supporting, cv::Mat::setTo():

img.setTo(cv::Scalar(redVal,greenVal,blueVal));

Select info from table where row has max date

SELECT distinct
  group, 
  max_date = MAX(date) OVER (PARTITION BY group), checks
FROM table

Should work.

How do I enable --enable-soap in php on linux?

Getting SOAP working usually does not require compiling PHP from source. I would recommend trying that only as a last option.

For good measure, check to see what your phpinfo says, if anything, about SOAP extensions:

$ php -i | grep -i soap

to ensure that it is the PHP extension that is missing.

Assuming you do not see anything about SOAP in the phpinfo, see what PHP SOAP packages might be available to you.

In Ubuntu/Debian you can search with:

$ apt-cache search php | grep -i soap

or in RHEL/Fedora you can search with:

$ yum search php | grep -i soap

There are usually two PHP SOAP packages available to you, usually php-soap and php-nusoap. php-soap is typically what you get with configuring PHP with --enable-soap.

In Ubuntu/Debian you can install with:

$ sudo apt-get install php-soap

Or in RHEL/Fedora you can install with:

$ sudo yum install php-soap

After the installation, you might need to place an ini file and restart Apache.

How to get just numeric part of CSS property with jQuery?

Id go for:

Math.abs(parseFloat($(this).css("property")));

Using the "animated circle" in an ImageView while loading stuff

If you would like to not inflate another view just to indicate progress then do the following:

  1. Create ProgressBar in the same XML layout of the list view.
  2. Make it centered
  3. Give it an id
  4. Attach it to your listview instance variable by calling setEmptyView

Android will take care the progress bar's visibility.

For example, in activity_main.xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.fcchyd.linkletandroid.MainActivity">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list_view_xml"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:divider="@color/colorDivider"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp" />

   <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/loading_progress_xml"
        style="?android:attr/progress"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true" />

C++ correct way to return pointer to array from function

In a real app, the way you returned the array is called using an out parameter. Of course you don't actually have to return a pointer to the array, because the caller already has it, you just need to fill in the array. It's also common to pass another argument specifying the size of the array so as to not overflow it.

Using an out parameter has the disadvantage that the caller may not know how large the array needs to be to store the result. In that case, you can return a std::vector or similar array class instance.

bash export command

if u cant use " export " cmd
then Just use:

setenv path /dir

like this

setenv ORACLE_HOME /data/u01/apps/oracle/11.2.0.3.0

How do you detect/avoid Memory leaks in your (Unmanaged) code?

If you're using MS VC++, I can highly recommend this free tool from the codeproject: leakfinder by Jochen Kalmbach.

You simply add the class to your project, and call

InitAllocCheck(ACOutput_XML)
DeInitAllocCheck()

before and after the code you want to check for leaks.

Once you've build and run the code, Jochen provides a neat GUI tool where you can load the resulting .xmlleaks file, and navigate through the call stack where each leak was generated to hunt down the offending line of code.

Rational's (now owned by IBM) PurifyPlus illustrates leaks in a similar fashion, but I find the leakfinder tool actually easier to use, with the bonus of it not costing several thousand dollars!

How to explain callbacks in plain english? How are they different from calling one function from another function?

In non-programmer terms, a callback is a fill-in-the-blank in a program.

A common item on many paper forms is "Person to call in case of emergency". There is a blank line there. You write in someone's name and phone number. If an emergency occurs, then that person gets called.

  • Everyone gets the same blank form, but
  • Everyone can write a different emergency contact number.

This is key. You do not change the form (the code, usually someone else's). However you can fill in missing pieces of information (your number).

Example 1:

Callbacks are used as customized methods, possibly for adding to/changing a program's behavior. For example, take some C code that performs a function, but does not know how to print output. All it can do is make a string. When it tries to figure out what to do with the string, it sees a blank line. But, the programmer gave you the blank to write your callback in!

In this example, you do not use a pencil to fill in a blank on a sheet of paper, you use the function set_print_callback(the_callback).

  • The blank variable in the module/code is the blank line,
  • set_print_callback is the pencil,
  • and the_callback is your information you are filling in.

You've now filled in this blank line in the program. Whenever it needs to print output, it will look at that blank line, and follow the instructions there (i.e. call the function you put there.) Practically, this allows the possibility of printing to screen, to a log file, to a printer, over a network connection, or any combination thereof. You have filled in the blank with what you want to do.

Example 2:

When you get told you need to call an emergency number, you go and read what is written on the paper form, and then call the number you read. If that line is blank nothing will be done.

Gui programming works much the same way. When a button is clicked, the program needs to figure out what to do next. It goes and looks for the callback. This callback happens to be in a blank labeled "Here's what you do when Button1 is clicked"

Most IDEs will automatically fill in the blank for you (write the basic method) when you ask it to (e.g. button1_clicked). However that blank can have any method you darn well please. You could call the method run_computations or butter_the_biscuits as long as you put that callback's name in the proper blank. You could put "555-555-1212" in the emergency number blank. It doesn't make much sense, but it's permissible.


Final note: That blank line that you're filling in with the callback? It can be erased and re-written at will. (whether you should or not is another question, but that is a part of their power)

String contains - ignore case

You can use

org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils.containsIgnoreCase(CharSequence str,
                                     CharSequence searchStr);

Checks if CharSequence contains a search CharSequence irrespective of case, handling null. Case-insensitivity is defined as by String.equalsIgnoreCase(String).

A null CharSequence will return false.

This one will be better than regex as regex is always expensive in terms of performance.

For official doc, refer to : StringUtils.containsIgnoreCase

Update :

If you are among the ones who

  • don't want to use Apache commons library
  • don't want to go with the expensive regex/Pattern based solutions,
  • don't want to create additional string object by using toLowerCase,

you can implement your own custom containsIgnoreCase using java.lang.String.regionMatches

public boolean regionMatches(boolean ignoreCase,
                             int toffset,
                             String other,
                             int ooffset,
                             int len)

ignoreCase : if true, ignores case when comparing characters.

public static boolean containsIgnoreCase(String str, String searchStr)     {
    if(str == null || searchStr == null) return false;

    final int length = searchStr.length();
    if (length == 0)
        return true;

    for (int i = str.length() - length; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (str.regionMatches(true, i, searchStr, 0, length))
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Laravel Migration Change to Make a Column Nullable

Laravel 5 now supports changing a column; here's an example from the offical documentation:

Schema::table('users', function($table)
{
    $table->string('name', 50)->nullable()->change();
});

Source: http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/schema#changing-columns

Laravel 4 does not support modifying columns, so you'll need use another technique such as writing a raw SQL command. For example:

// getting Laravel App Instance
$app = app();

// getting laravel main version
$laravelVer = explode('.',$app::VERSION);

switch ($laravelVer[0]) {

    // Laravel 4
    case('4'):

        DB::statement('ALTER TABLE `pro_categories_langs` MODIFY `name` VARCHAR(100) NULL;');
        break;

    // Laravel 5, or Laravel 6
    default:                

        Schema::table('pro_categories_langs', function(Blueprint $t) {
            $t->string('name', 100)->nullable()->change();
        });               

}

Wrap long lines in Python

I'm surprised no one mentioned the implicit style above. My preference is to use parens to wrap the string while lining the string lines up visually. Personally I think this looks cleaner and more compact than starting the beginning of the string on a tabbed new line.

Note that these parens are not part of a method call — they're only implicit string literal concatenation.

Python 2:

def fun():
    print ('{0} Here is a really '
           'long sentence with {1}').format(3, 5)

Python 3 (with parens for print function):

def fun():
    print(('{0} Here is a really '
           'long sentence with {1}').format(3, 5))

Personally I think it's cleanest to separate concatenating the long string literal from printing it:

def fun():
    s = ('{0} Here is a really '
         'long sentence with {1}').format(3, 5)
    print(s)

Addressing localhost from a VirtualBox virtual machine

Actually, user477494's answer is in principle correct.

I've applied the same logic in other environments (OS X host - virtual Windows XP) and that does the trick. I did have to cycle the host LAMP stack to get the IP address and Apache port to resolve, but once I'd figured that out, I was laughing.

Can I return the 'id' field after a LINQ insert?

Try this:

MyContext Context = new MyContext(); 
Context.YourEntity.Add(obj);
Context.SaveChanges();
int ID = obj._ID;

Sorting Python list based on the length of the string

def lensort(list_1):
    list_2=[];list_3=[]
for i in list_1:
    list_2.append([i,len(i)])
list_2.sort(key = lambda x : x[1])
for i in list_2:
    list_3.append(i[0])
return list_3

This works for me!

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

You are not passing the variable correctly. One fast solution is to make a global variable like this:

var global_json_data;
$(document).ready(function() {
    var json_source = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/0ApL1zT2P00q5dG1wOUMzSlNVV3VRV2pwQ2Fnbmt3M0E/od7/public/basic?alt=json";
    var string_data ="";
    var json_data = $.ajax({
        dataType: 'json', // Return JSON
        url: json_source,
        success: function(data){
            var data_obj = [];
            for (i=0; i<data.feed.entry.length; i++){
                var el = {'key': data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 'value': '<p><a href="'+data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a></p>'};
                data_obj.push(el)};

            console.log("data grabbed");  
            global_json_data =   data_obj;

            return data_obj;


        },      

        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ 
                        $('#results_box').html('<h2>Something went wrong!</h2><p><b>' + textStatus  + '</b> ' + errorThrown  + '</p>');
        }
    }); 

    $(':submit').click(function(event){
        var json_data = global_json_data;
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log(json_data.length);

        //function
        if ($('#place').val() !=''){
            var copy_string = $('#place').val();
            var converted_string = copy_string;
            for (i=0; i<json_data.length; i++){
                //console_log(data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']);
                converted_string = converted_string.replace(json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 
                    '<a href="'+json_data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a>');
            }  
            $('#results_box').text(converted_string).html();
        }
    });

});//document ready end 

Get the current language in device

If you choose a language you can't type this Greek may be helpful.

getDisplayLanguage().toString() = English
getLanguage().toString() = en 
getISO3Language().toString() = eng
getDisplayLanguage()) = English
getLanguage() = en
getISO3Language() = eng

Now try it with Greek

getDisplayLanguage().toString() = ????????
getLanguage().toString() = el
getISO3Language().toString() = ell
getDisplayLanguage()) = ????????
getLanguage() = el
getISO3Language() = ell

How to navigate through a vector using iterators? (C++)

Vector's iterators are random access iterators which means they look and feel like plain pointers.

You can access the nth element by adding n to the iterator returned from the container's begin() method, or you can use operator [].

std::vector<int> vec(10);
std::vector<int>::iterator it = vec.begin();

int sixth = *(it + 5);
int third = *(2 + it);
int second = it[1];

Alternatively you can use the advance function which works with all kinds of iterators. (You'd have to consider whether you really want to perform "random access" with non-random-access iterators, since that might be an expensive thing to do.)

std::vector<int> vec(10);
std::vector<int>::iterator it = vec.begin();

std::advance(it, 5);
int sixth = *it;

Unexpected token }

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The JS is:

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

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

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

Save file Javascript with file name

function saveAs(uri, filename) {
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    if (typeof link.download === 'string') {
        document.body.appendChild(link); // Firefox requires the link to be in the body
        link.download = filename;
        link.href = uri;
        link.click();
        document.body.removeChild(link); // remove the link when done
    } else {
        location.replace(uri);
    }
}

Remove duplicates from a list of objects based on property in Java 8

There are a lot of good answers here but I didn't find the one about using reduce method. So for your case, you can apply it in following way:

 List<Employee> employeeList = employees.stream()
      .reduce(new ArrayList<>(), (List<Employee> accumulator, Employee employee) ->
      {
        if (accumulator.stream().noneMatch(emp -> emp.getId().equals(employee.getId())))
        {
          accumulator.add(employee);
        }
        return accumulator;
      }, (acc1, acc2) ->
      {
        acc1.addAll(acc2);
        return acc1;
      });

Export DataTable to Excel with Open Xml SDK in c#

I wrote my own export to Excel writer because nothing else quite met my needs. It is fast and allows for substantial formatting of the cells. You can review it at

https://openxmlexporttoexcel.codeplex.com/

I hope it helps.

How do you implement a class in C?

I had to do it once too for a homework. I followed this approach:

  1. Define your data members in a struct.
  2. Define your function members that take a pointer to your struct as first argument.
  3. Do these in one header & one c. Header for struct definition & function declarations, c for implementations.

A simple example would be this:

/// Queue.h
struct Queue
{
    /// members
}
typedef struct Queue Queue;

void push(Queue* q, int element);
void pop(Queue* q);
// etc.
/// 

Why is it important to override GetHashCode when Equals method is overridden?

How about:

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    return string.Format("{0}_{1}_{2}", prop1, prop2, prop3).GetHashCode();
}

Assuming performance is not an issue :)

Failed to load ApplicationContext (with annotation)

In my case, I had to do the following while running with Junit5

@SpringBootTest(classes = {abc.class}) @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class

Here abc.class was the class that was being tested

find all subsets that sum to a particular value

public class SumOfSubSet {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        int a[] = {1,2};
        int sum=0;
        if(a.length<=0) {
            System.out.println(sum);
        }else {
        for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
            sum=sum+a[i];
            for(int j=i+1;j<a.length;j++) {
                sum=sum+a[i]+a[j];
            }
        }
        System.out.println(sum);

        }


    }

}

pod install -bash: pod: command not found

gterzian is on the right track, however, if you later update your version of ruby then you'll also have to update your .profile to point to the new versioned ruby directory. For instance, the current version of ruby is 2.0.0-p353 so you'd have to add /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p353/bin to your path instead.

A better solution is to add /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin to your PATH. /usr/local/opt/ruby is actually a symlink to the current version of ruby that homebrew automatically updates when you do an upgrade. That way you'll never need to update your PATH and always be pointing to the latest version.

Setting a global PowerShell variable from a function where the global variable name is a variable passed to the function

You can use the Set-Variable cmdlet. Passing $global:var3 sends the value of $var3, which is not what you want. You want to send the name.

$global:var1 = $null

function foo ($a, $b, $varName)
{
   Set-Variable -Name $varName -Value ($a + $b) -Scope Global
}

foo 1 2 var1

This is not very good programming practice, though. Below would be much more straightforward, and less likely to introduce bugs later:

$global:var1 = $null

function ComputeNewValue ($a, $b)
{
   $a + $b
}

$global:var1 = ComputeNewValue 1 2

CSS Border Not Working

Have you tried using Firebug to inspect the rendered HTML, and to see exactly what css is being applied to the various elements? That should pick up css errors like the ones mentioned above, and you can see what styles are being inherited and from where - it is an invaluable too in any css debugging.

Ruby: How to turn a hash into HTTP parameters?

open link in iframe

Well, there's an alternate way! You can use a button instead of hyperlink. Hence, when the button is clicked the web page specified in "name_of_webpage" is opened in the target frame named "name_of_iframe". It works for me!

<form method="post" action="name_of_webpage" target="name_of_iframe">
<input type="submit" value="any_name_you_want" />
</form>
<iframe name="name_of_iframe"></iframe>

How to specify an alternate location for the .m2 folder or settings.xml permanently?

It's funny how other answers ignore the fact that you can't write to that file...

There are a few workarounds that come to my mind which could help use an arbitrary C:\redirected\settings.xml and use the mvn command as usual happily ever after.

mvn alias

In a Unix shell (or on Cygwin) you can create

alias mvn='mvn --global-settings "C:\redirected\settings.xml"'

so when you're calling mvn blah blah from anywhere the config is "automatically" picked up.
See How to create alias in cmd? if you want this, but don't have a Unix shell.

mvn wrapper

Configure your environment so that mvn is resolved to a wrapper script when typed in the command line:

  • Remove your MVN_HOME/bin or M2_HOME/bin from your PATH so mvn is not resolved any more.
  • Add a folder to PATH (or use an existing one)
  • In that folder create an mvn.bat file with contents:

    call C:\your\path\to\maven\bin\mvn.bat --global-settings "C:\redirected\settings.xml" %*
    

Note: if you want some projects to behave differently you can just create mvn.bat in the same folder as pom.xml so when you run plain mvn it resolves to the local one.

Use where mvn at any time to check how it is resolved, the first one will be run when you type mvn.

mvn.bat hack

If you have write access to C:\your\path\to\maven\bin\mvn.bat, edit the file and add set MAVEN_CMD_LINE_ARG to the :runm2 part:

@REM Start MAVEN2
:runm2
set MAVEN_CMD_LINE_ARGS=--global-settings "C:\redirected\settings.xml" %MAVEN_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
set CLASSWORLDS_LAUNCHER=...

mvn.sh hack

For completeness, you can change the C:\your\path\to\maven\bin\mvn shell script too by changing the exec "$JAVACMD" command's

${CLASSWORLDS_LAUNCHER} "$@"

part to

${CLASSWORLDS_LAUNCHER} --global-settings "C:\redirected\settings.xml" "$@"

Suggestion/Rant

As a person in IT it's funny that you don't have access to your own home folder, for me this constitutes as incompetence from the company you're working for: this is equivalent of hiring someone to do software development, but not providing even the possibility to use anything other than notepad.exe or Microsoft Word to edit the source files. I'd suggest to contact your help desk or administrator and request write access at least to that particular file so that you can change the path of the local repository.

Disclaimer: None of these are tested for this particular use case, but I successfully used all of them previously for various other software.

Setting onClickListener for the Drawable right of an EditText

You don't have access to the right image as far my knowledge, unless you override the onTouch event. I suggest to use a RelativeLayout, with one editText and one imageView, and set OnClickListener over the image view as below:

<RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/rlSearch"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:drawable/edit_text"
        android:padding="5dip" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/txtSearch"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/imgSearch"
            android:background="#00000000"
            android:ems="10"/>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imgSearch"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:src="@drawable/btnsearch" />
    </RelativeLayout>

How to bind WPF button to a command in ViewModelBase?

 <Grid >
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Button Command="{Binding ClickCommand}" Width="100" Height="100" Content="wefwfwef"/>
</Grid>

the code behind for the window:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        DataContext = new ViewModelBase();
    }
}

The ViewModel:

public class ViewModelBase
{
    private ICommand _clickCommand;
    public ICommand ClickCommand
    {
        get
        {
            return _clickCommand ?? (_clickCommand = new CommandHandler(() => MyAction(), ()=> CanExecute));
        }
    }
     public bool CanExecute
     {
        get
        {
            // check if executing is allowed, i.e., validate, check if a process is running, etc. 
            return true/false;
        }
     }

    public void MyAction()
    {

    }
}

Command Handler:

 public class CommandHandler : ICommand
{
    private Action _action;
    private Func<bool> _canExecute;

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates instance of the command handler
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="action">Action to be executed by the command</param>
    /// <param name="canExecute">A bolean property to containing current permissions to execute the command</param>
    public CommandHandler(Action action, Func<bool> canExecute)
    {
        _action = action;
        _canExecute = canExecute;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Wires CanExecuteChanged event 
    /// </summary>
    public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
    {
        add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
        remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Forcess checking if execute is allowed
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="parameter"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
    {
        return _canExecute.Invoke();
    }

    public void Execute(object parameter)
    {
        _action();
    }
}

I hope this will give you the idea.

How to save the contents of a div as a image?

Do something like this:

A <div> with ID of #imageDIV, another one with ID #download and a hidden <div> with ID #previewImage.

Include the latest version of jquery, and jspdf.debug.js from the jspdf CDN

Then add this script:

var element = $("#imageDIV"); // global variable
var getCanvas; // global variable
$('document').ready(function(){
  html2canvas(element, {
    onrendered: function (canvas) {
      $("#previewImage").append(canvas);
      getCanvas = canvas;
    }
  });
});
$("#download").on('click', function () {
  var imgageData = getCanvas.toDataURL("image/png");
  // Now browser starts downloading it instead of just showing it
  var newData = imageData.replace(/^data:image\/png/, "data:application/octet-stream");
  $("#download").attr("download", "image.png").attr("href", newData);
});

The div will be saved as a PNG on clicking the #download

Abort a git cherry-pick?

I found the answer is git reset --merge - it clears the conflicted cherry-pick attempt.

Enum ToString with user friendly strings

That other post is Java. You can't put methods in Enums in C#.

just do something like this:

PublishStatusses status = ...
String s = status.ToString();

If you want to use different display values for your enum values, you could use Attributes and Reflection.

How do I create a singleton service in Angular 2?

Here is a working example with Angular version 2.3. Just call the constructor of the service the stand way like this constructor(private _userService:UserService) . And it will create a singleton for the app.

user.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import { Subject }    from 'rxjs/Subject';
import { User } from '../object/user';


@Injectable()
export class UserService {
    private userChangedSource;
    public observableEvents;
    loggedUser:User;

    constructor() {
       this.userChangedSource = new Subject<any>();
       this.observableEvents = this.userChangedSource.asObservable();
    }

    userLoggedIn(user:User) {
        this.loggedUser = user;
        this.userChangedSource.next(user);
    }

    ...
}

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { UserService } from '../service/user.service';
import { User } from '../object/user';

@Component({
    selector: 'myApp',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    loggedUser:User;

    constructor(private _userService:UserService) { 
        this._userService.observableEvents.subscribe(user => {
                this.loggedUser = user;
                console.log("event triggered");
        });
    }
    ...
}

Is there an "if -then - else " statement in XPath?

How about using fn:replace(string,pattern,replace) instead?

XPATH is very often used in XSLTs and if you are in that situation and does not have XPATH 2.0 you could use:

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="condition1">
      condition1-statements
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="condition2">
      condition2-statements
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      otherwise-statements
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

Pip "Could not find a that satisfies the requirement"

pygame is not distributed via pip. See this link which provides windows binaries ready for installation.

  1. Install python
  2. Make sure you have python on your PATH
  3. Download the appropriate wheel from this link
  4. Install pip using this tutorial
  5. Finally, use these commands to install pygame wheel with pip

    • Python 2 (usually called pip)

      • pip install file.whl
    • Python 3 (usually called pip3)

      • pip3 install file.whl

Another tutorial for installing pygame for windows can be found here. Although the instructions are for 64bit windows, it can still be applied to 32bit

How can one use multi threading in PHP applications

While you can't thread, you do have some degree of process control in php. The two function sets that are useful here are:

Process control functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcntl.php

POSIX functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.posix.php

You could fork your process with pcntl_fork - returning the PID of the child. Then you can use posix_kill to despose of that PID.

That said, if you kill a parent process a signal should be sent to the child process telling it to die. If php itself isn't recognising this you could register a function to manage it and do a clean exit using pcntl_signal.

Java Generics With a Class & an Interface - Together

You can't do it with "anonymous" type parameters (ie, wildcards that use ?), but you can do it with "named" type parameters. Simply declare the type parameter at method or class level.

import java.util.List;
interface A{}
interface B{}
public class Test<E extends B & A, T extends List<E>> {
    T t;
}

Appending items to a list of lists in python

with open('data.csv', 'r') as f:
    for rec in csv.DictReader(f):
        for l, col in zip(data, cols):
            l.append(float(rec[col]))
print data

How to access accelerometer/gyroscope data from Javascript?

The way to do this in 2019+ is to use DeviceOrientation API. This works in most modern browsers on desktop and mobile.

window.addEventListener("deviceorientation", handleOrientation, true);

After registering your event listener (in this case, a JavaScript function called handleOrientation()), your listener function periodically gets called with updated orientation data.

The orientation event contains four values:

  • DeviceOrientationEvent.absolute
  • DeviceOrientationEvent.alpha
  • DeviceOrientationEvent.beta
  • DeviceOrientationEvent.gamma

The event handler function can look something like this:

function handleOrientation(event) {
  var absolute = event.absolute;
  var alpha    = event.alpha;
  var beta     = event.beta;
  var gamma    = event.gamma;
  // Do stuff with the new orientation data
}

AngularJS $http, CORS and http authentication

For making a CORS request one must add headers to the request along with the same he needs to check of mode_header is enabled in Apache.

For enabling headers in Ubuntu:

sudo a2enmod headers

For php server to accept request from different origin use:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "x-requested-with, Content-Type, origin, authorization, accept, client-security-token"

node.js require() cache - possible to invalidate?

The documentation says:

Modules are cached in this object when they are required. By deleting a key value from this object, the next require will reload the module. This does not apply to native addons, for which reloading will result in an error.

What does 'git remote add upstream' help achieve?

The wiki is talking from a forked repo point of view. You have access to pull and push from origin, which will be your fork of the main diaspora repo. To pull in changes from this main repo, you add a remote, "upstream" in your local repo, pointing to this original and pull from it.

So "origin" is a clone of your fork repo, from which you push and pull. "Upstream" is a name for the main repo, from where you pull and keep a clone of your fork updated, but you don't have push access to it.

Python For loop get index

Do you want to iterate over characters or words?

For words, you'll have to split the words first, such as

for index, word in enumerate(loopme.split(" ")):
    print "CURRENT WORD IS", word, "AT INDEX", index

This prints the index of the word.

For the absolute character position you'd need something like

chars = 0
for index, word in enumerate(loopme.split(" ")):
    print "CURRENT WORD IS", word, "AT INDEX", index, "AND AT CHARACTER", chars
    chars += len(word) + 1

Select * from subquery

You can select every column from that sub-query by aliasing it and adding the alias before the *:

SELECT t.*, a+b AS total_sum
FROM
(
   SELECT SUM(column1) AS a, SUM(column2) AS b
   FROM table
) t

How to Set/Update State of StatefulWidget from other StatefulWidget in Flutter?

Old one but I would add my answer as per my findings:

var ancestralState = context.findAncestorStateOfType<ParentState>();
      ancestralState.setState(() {
        // here you can access public vars and update state.
        ...
      });

Is there a format code shortcut for Visual Studio?

Yes, you can use the two-chord hotkey (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F if you're using the General profile) to format your selection.

Other formatting options are under menu EditAdvanced, and like all Visual Studio commands, you can set your own hotkey via menu ToolsOptionsEnvironmentKeyboard (the format selection command is called Edit.FormatSelection).

Formatting doesn't do anything with blank lines, but it will indent your code according to some rules that are usually slightly off from what you probably want.

How to create a function in a cshtml template?

If you want to access your page's global variables, you can do so:

    string GetLoadingState (string person) => LoadingButtons[person] ? "is-loading" : string.Empty;
}

How to import local packages in go?

If you are using Go 1.5 above, you can try to use vendoring feature. It allows you to put your local package under vendor folder and import it with shorter path. In your case, you can put your common and routers folder inside vendor folder so it would be like

myapp/
--vendor/
----common/
----routers/
------middleware/
--main.go

and import it like this

import (
    "common"
    "routers"
    "routers/middleware"
)

This will work because Go will try to lookup your package starting at your project’s vendor directory (if it has at least one .go file) instead of $GOPATH/src.

FYI: You can do more with vendor, because this feature allows you to put "all your dependency’s code" for a package inside your own project's directory so it will be able to always get the same dependencies versions for all builds. It's like npm or pip in python, but you need to manually copy your dependencies to you project, or if you want to make it easy, try to look govendor by Daniel Theophanes

For more learning about this feature, try to look up here

How do you put an image file in a json object?

The JSON format can contain only those types of value:

  • string
  • number
  • object
  • array
  • true
  • false
  • null

An image is of the type "binary" which is none of those. So you can't directly insert an image into JSON. What you can do is convert the image to a textual representation which can then be used as a normal string.

The most common way to achieve that is with what's called base64. Basically, instead of encoding it as 1 and 0s, it uses a range of 64 characters which makes the textual representation of it more compact. So for example the number '64' in binary is represented as 1000000, while in base64 it's simply one character: =.

There are many ways to encode your image in base64 depending on if you want to do it in the browser or not.

Note that if you're developing a web application, it will be way more efficient to store images separately in binary form, and store paths to those images in your JSON or elsewhere. That also allows your client's browser to cache the images.

byte[] to file in Java

Ruby on Rails generates model field:type - what are the options for field:type?

To create a model that references another, use the Ruby on Rails model generator:

$ rails g model wheel car:references

That produces app/models/wheel.rb:

class Wheel < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :car
end

And adds the following migration:

class CreateWheels < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :wheels do |t|
      t.references :car

      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :wheels
  end
end

When you run the migration, the following will end up in your db/schema.rb:

$ rake db:migrate

create_table "wheels", :force => true do |t|
  t.integer  "car_id"
  t.datetime "created_at"
  t.datetime "updated_at"
end

As for documentation, a starting point for rails generators is Ruby on Rails: A Guide to The Rails Command Line which points you to API Documentation for more about available field types.

Getting "The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure" when SMTP server has a valid certificate

Old post, but I thought I would share my solution because there aren't many solutions out there for this issue.

If you're running an old Windows Server 2003 machine, you likely need to install a hotfix (KB938397).

This problem occurs because the Cryptography API 2 (CAPI2) in Windows Server 2003 does not support the SHA2 family of hashing algorithms. CAPI2 is the part of the Cryptography API that handles certificates.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/938397

For whatever reason, Microsoft wants to email you this hotfix instead of allowing you to download directly. Here's a direct link to the hotfix from the email:

Eclipse Workspaces: What for and why?

The whole point of a workspace is to group a set of related projects together that usually make up an application. The workspace framework comes down to the eclipse.core.resources plugin and it naturally by design makes sense.

Projects have natures, builders are attached to specific projects and as you change resources in one project you can see in real time compile or other issues in projects that are in the same workspace. So the strategy I suggest is have different workspaces for different projects you work on but without a workspace in eclipse there would be no concept of a collection of projects and configurations and after all it's an IDE tool.

If that does not make sense ask how Net Beans or Visual Studio addresses this? It's the same theme. Maven is a good example, checking out a group of related maven projects into a workspace lets you develop and see errors in real time. If not a workspace what else would you suggest? An RCP application can be a different beast depending on what its used for but in the true IDE sense I don't know what would be a better solution than a workspace or context of projects. Just my thoughts. - Duncan

How to get the focused element with jQuery?

How is it noone has mentioned..

document.activeElement.id

I am using IE8, and have not tested it on any other browser. In my case, I am using it to make sure a field is a minimum of 4 characters and focused before acting. Once you enter the 4th number, it triggers. The field has an id of 'year'. I am using..

if( $('#year').val().length >= 4 && document.activeElement.id == "year" ) {
    // action here
}

"End of script output before headers" error in Apache

If using Suexec, ensure that the script and its directory are owned by the same user you specified in suexec.

In addition, ensure that the user running the cgi script has permissions execute permissions to the file AND the program specified in the shebang.

For example if my cgi script starts with

#! /usr/bin/cgirunner

Then the user needs permissions to execute /usr/bin/cgirunner.

Is it possible to display inline images from html in an Android TextView?

KOTLIN

There is also the possibility to use sufficientlysecure.htmltextview.HtmlTextView

Use like below in gradle files:

Project gradle file:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

App gradle file:

dependencies {
implementation 'org.sufficientlysecure:html-textview:3.9'
}

Inside xml file replace your textView with:

<org.sufficientlysecure.htmltextview.HtmlTextView
      android:id="@+id/allNewsBlockTextView"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_margin="2dp"
      android:textColor="#000"
      android:textSize="18sp"
      app:htmlToString="@{detailsViewModel.selectedText}" />

Last line above is if you use Binding adapters where the code will be like:

@BindingAdapter("htmlToString")
fun bindTextViewHtml(textView: HtmlTextView, htmlValue: String) {

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
    textView.setHtml(
        htmlValue,
        HtmlHttpImageGetter(textView, "n", true)
    );
    } else {
        textView.setHtml(
        htmlValue,
        HtmlHttpImageGetter(textView, "n", true)
        );
    }
}

How to get xdebug var_dump to show full object/array

Or you can use an alternative:

https://github.com/kint-php/kint

It works with zero set up and has much more features than Xdebug's var_dump anyway. To bypass the nested limit on the fly with Kint, just use

 +d( $variable ); // append `+` to the dump call

Check if file is already open

If file is in use FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); returns java.io.FileNotFoundException with 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process' in the exception message.

How do you post data with a link

I assume that each house is stored in its own table and has an 'id' field, e.g house id. So when you loop through the houses and display them, you could do something like this:

<a href="house.php?id=<?php echo $house_id;?>">
  <?php echo $house_name;?>
</a>

Then in house.php, you would get the house id using $_GET['id'], validate it using is_numeric() and then display its info.

TypeError: Image data can not convert to float

This question comes up first in the Google search for this type error, but does not have a general answer about the cause of the error. The poster's unique problem was the use of an inappropriate object type as the main argument for plt.imshow(). A more general answer is that plt.imshow() wants an array of floats and if you don't specify a float, numpy, pandas, or whatever else, might infer a different data type somewhere along the line. You can avoid this by specifying a float for the dtype argument is the constructor of the object.

See the Numpy documentation here.

See the Pandas documentation here

Git - push current branch shortcut

You can configure git to push to the current branch using the following command

git config --global push.default current

then just do

git push 

this will push the code to your current branch.

ImportError: No module named enum

I ran into this same issue trying to install the dbf package in Python 2.7. The problem is that the enum package wasn't added to Python until version 3.4.

It has been backported to versions 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, and 2.4, you just need the package from here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/enum34#downloads

Error: Unfortunately you can't have non-Gradle Java modules and > Android-Gradle modules in one project

None of above worked for me but tried something random and it worked.

  1. Copy the corrupted project directory.
  2. Paste it at somewhere else.
  3. Import it in Android Studio. (File-> New-> Import project)
  4. And uncorrupted project get restored.

PS: You must have original corrupted project. (Means, copy it without tampering project structure)

Where can I get a virtual machine online?

koding.com has a free VM running Ubuntu. The specs are pretty good, 1 gig memory for example. They have a terminal online you can access through their website, or use SSH. The VM will go to sleep approximately 20 minutes after you log out. The reason is to discourage users from running live production code on the VM. The VM resides behind a proxy. Running web servers that only speak HTTP (port 80) should work just fine, but I think you'll get into a lot of trouble whenever you want to work directly with other ports. Many mind-like alternatives offer similar setups. Good luck!

I had the same idea as you but given all restrictions everybody keep imposing everywhere I feel that I must go out and pay for a VPS.

    <title>HTML Form</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form>
        <input type="button" value="ON" onclick="msg('ON')">

Get nodes where child node contains an attribute

//book[title[@lang='it']]

is actually equivalent to

 //book[title/@lang = 'it']

I tried it using vtd-xml, both expressions spit out the same result... what xpath processing engine did you use? I guess it has conformance issue Below is the code

import com.ximpleware.*;
public class test1 {
  public static void main(String[] s) throws Exception{
      VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
      if (vg.parseFile("c:/books.xml", true)){
          VTDNav vn = vg.getNav();
          AutoPilot ap = new AutoPilot(vn);
          ap.selectXPath("//book[title[@lang='it']]");
                  //ap.selectXPath("//book[title/@lang='it']");

          int i;
          while((i=ap.evalXPath())!=-1){
              System.out.println("index ==>"+i);
          }
          /*if (vn.endsWith(i, "< test")){
             System.out.println(" good ");  
          }else
              System.out.println(" bad ");*/

      }
  }
}

Is there an equivalent to the SUBSTRING function in MS Access SQL?

I think there is MID() and maybe LEFT() and RIGHT() in Access.

How to loop an object in React?

I highly suggest you to use an array instead of an object if you're doing react itteration, this is a syntax I use it ofen.

const rooms = this.state.array.map((e, i) =>(<div key={i}>{e}</div>))

To use the element, just place {rooms} in your jsx.

Where e=elements of the arrays and i=index of the element. Read more here. If your looking for itteration, this is the way to do it.

Razor view engine - How can I add Partial Views

You partial looks much like an editor template so you could include it as such (assuming of course that your partial is placed in the ~/views/controllername/EditorTemplates subfolder):

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.SomePropertyOfTypeLocaleBaseModel)

Or if this is not the case simply:

@Html.Partial("nameOfPartial", Model)

How to find the port for MS SQL Server 2008?

This may also be done via a port scan, which is the only possible method if you don't have admin access to a remote server.

Using Nmap (http://nmap.org/zenmap/) to do an "Intense TCP scan" will give you results like this for all instances on the server:

[10.0.0.1\DATABASE]    
Instance name: DATABASE
Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM    
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2    
Service pack level: RTM    
TCP port: 49843    
Named pipe: \\10.0.0.1\pipe\MSSQL$DATABASE\sql\query

Important note: To test with query analyzer or MS SQL Server Management Studio you must form your server name and port differently than you would normally connect to a port, over HTTP for instance, using a comma instead of a colon.

  • Management Studio Server Name: 10.0.0.1,49843
  • Connection String: Data Source=10.0.0.1,49843

however

  • JDBC Connection String: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://10.0.0.1:49843;DatabaseName=DATABASE

Create Setup/MSI installer in Visual Studio 2017

You need to install this extension to Visual Studio 2017/2019 in order to get access to the Installer Projects.

According to the page:

This extension provides the same functionality that currently exists in Visual Studio 2015 for Visual Studio Installer projects. To use this extension, you can either open the Extensions and Updates dialog, select the online node, and search for "Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension," or you can download directly from this page.

Once you have finished installing the extension and restarted Visual Studio, you will be able to open existing Visual Studio Installer projects, or create new ones.

How to permanently add a private key with ssh-add on Ubuntu?

I tried @Aaron's solution and it didn't quite work for me, because it would re-add my keys every time I opened a new tab in my terminal. So I modified it a bit(note that most of my keys are also password-protected so I can't just send the output to /dev/null):

added_keys=`ssh-add -l`

if [ ! $(echo $added_keys | grep -o -e my_key) ]; then
    ssh-add "$HOME/.ssh/my_key"
fi

What this does is that it checks the output of ssh-add -l(which lists all keys that have been added) for a specific key and if it doesn't find it, then it adds it with ssh-add.

Now the first time I open my terminal I'm asked for the passwords for my private keys and I'm not asked again until I reboot(or logout - I haven't checked) my computer.

Since I have a bunch of keys I store the output of ssh-add -l in a variable to improve performance(at least I guess it improves performance :) )

PS: I'm on linux and this code went to my ~/.bashrc file - if you are on Mac OS X, then I assume you should add it to .zshrc or .profile

EDIT: As pointed out by @Aaron in the comments, the .zshrc file is used from the zsh shell - so if you're not using that(if you're not sure, then most likely, you're using bash instead), this code should go to your .bashrc file.

Maven: Failed to read artifact descriptor

I have a project

 A/
 |--a1
 |--a2

Now there is another project in our org

 B/
 |--b1
 |--b2
 |--b3

(Every module a1, b1 etc. and Parent projects A, B have their own pom.xml as per standard maven rules of parent and child)

Both projects are checked out on my local eclipse (from SVN). I am actively working on A.

I came to know that there is a good common functionality (b4) developed in B and I needed to use it.

 B/
 |--b1
 |--b2
 |--b3
 |--b4 (NEW)

Developer of b4 have deployed this b4 module as an artifact in our org's repository. I included the dependancy to my module's POM i.e. a2's pom.xml. Eclipse downloaded the reuqired artifact from repo and I could import the classes in it.

Now issue starts... I needed to check the source code of b4 for some purpose and as I already had B checked out on my local eclipse I updated it from SVN and checked out module b4. I also ran pom.xml of module b4 with targets like clean, package etc. After some time when I finishedd my coding I needed to create a JAR of my module a2. I ran "package" on a2's pom.xml and BAM!! errors n errors for a2 module.. These errors were also not very user friendly. Only thing is there was b4's name for sure in logs.

Solution: After trying for many solutions for many hours, I ran "mvn -U clean install" from console in my B's project directoty (i.e. in ../codebase/B). As B is the parent, clean install command ran for all modules including b4 and it ran successfully. After this I ran "mvn -U clean install" for my parent project which is A. And this worked! a2 module got compiled, installed, (packaged later) succesfully.

Here important point was if b4 is in your workspace do not only install b4. You will need to clean-install complete B. I came up to this solution after reading answer from Zuill

EDIT: One more thing here to note that if I didn't had B project checked out in Local environment then this issue might not have occurred for me. I tend to think that this happened cause I had B checked out in my local workspace.

How to get all key in JSON object (javascript)

Try this

var s = {name: "raul", age: "22", gender: "Male"}
   var keys = [];
   for(var k in s) keys.push(k);

Here keys array will return your keys ["name", "age", "gender"]

get next sequence value from database using hibernate

Here is the way I do it:

    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="ServerInstanceIdSeqName")
    public Long id;

}

ServerInstanceSeq sis = new ServerInstanceSeq();
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(sis);
session.getTransaction().commit();
System.out.println("sis.id after save: "+sis.id);

How to analyze disk usage of a Docker container

(this answer is not useful, but leaving it here since some of the comments may be)

docker images will show the 'virtual size', i.e. how much in total including all the lower layers. So some double-counting if you have containers that share the same base image.

How do I force a DIV block to extend to the bottom of a page even if it has no content?

Try Ryan Fait's "Sticky Footer" solution,

http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/

Works across IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and supposedly Opera too, but haven't tested that. It's a great solution. Very easy and reliable to implement.

Dynamically add properties to a existing object

If you only need the dynamic properties for JSON serialization/deserialization, eg if your API accepts a JSON object with different fields depending on context, then you can use the JsonExtensionData attribute available in Newtonsoft.Json or System.Text.Json.

Example:

public class Pet
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Type { get; set; }

    [JsonExtensionData]
    public IDictionary<string, object> AdditionalData { get; set; }
}

Then you can deserialize JSON:

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var bingo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Pet>("{\"Name\": \"Bingo\", \"Type\": \"Dog\", \"Legs\": 4 }");
        Console.WriteLine(bingo.AdditionalData["Legs"]);        // 4

        var tweety = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Pet>("{\"Name\": \"Tweety Pie\", \"Type\": \"Bird\", \"CanFly\": true }");
        Console.WriteLine(tweety.AdditionalData["CanFly"]);     // True

        tweety.AdditionalData["Color"] = "#ffff00";

        Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tweety)); // {"Name":"Tweety Pie","Type":"Bird","CanFly":true,"Color":"#ffff00"}
    }
}

Java HTTP Client Request with defined timeout

I found that setting the time out settings in HttpConnectionParams and HttpConnectionManager did not solve our case. We're limited to using org.apache.commons.httpclient version 3.0.1.

I ended up using an java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService to monitor the HttpClient.executeMethod() call.

How to update and order by using ms sql

You can do a subquery where you first get the IDs of the top 10 ordered by priority and then update the ones that are on that sub query:

UPDATE  messages 
SET status=10 
WHERE ID in (SELECT TOP (10) Id 
             FROM Table 
             WHERE status=0 
             ORDER BY priority DESC);

Telegram Bot - how to get a group chat id?

My second Solution for the error {"ok":true,"result":[]}

  1. Go in your Telegram Group
  2. Add new User (Invite)
  3. Search for "getidsbot" => @getidsbot
  4. Message: /start@getidsbot
  5. Now you see the ID. looks like 1068773197, which is -1001068773197 for bots (with -100 prefix)!!!
  6. Kick the bot from the Group.
  7. Now go to the Webbrowser an send this line (Test Message):
https://api.telegram.org/botAPITOKENNUMBER:APITOKENKEYHERE/sendmessage?chat_id=-100GROUPNUMBER&text=test

Edit the API Token and the Group-ID!

Filter by process/PID in Wireshark

If you want to follow an application that still has to be started then it's certainly possible:

  1. Install docker (see https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/)
  2. Open a terminal and run a tiny container: docker run -t -i ubuntu /bin/bash (change "ubuntu" to your favorite distro, this doesn't have to be the same as in your real system)
  3. Install your application in the container using the same way that you would install it in a real system.
  4. Start wireshark in your real system, go to capture > options . In the window that will open you'll see all your interfaces. Instead of choosing any, wlan0, eth0, ... choose the new virtual interface docker0 instead.
  5. Start capturing
  6. Start your application in the container

You might have some doubts about running your software in a container, so here are the answers to the questions you probably want to ask:

  • Will my application work inside a container ? Almost certainly yes, but you might need to learn a bit about docker to get it working
  • Won't my application run slow ? Negligible. If your program is something that runs heavy calculations for a week then it might now take a week and 3 seconds
  • What if my software or something else breaks in the container ? That's the nice thing about containers. Whatever is running inside can only break the current container and can't hurt the rest of the system.

How to set Angular 4 background image?

Below answer worked for angular 4/5.

In app.component.css

.image{
     height:40em; background-size:cover; width:auto;
     background-image:url('copied image address');
     background-position:50% 50%;
   }

Also in app.component.html simply add as below

<div class="image">
Your content
</div>

This way I was able to set background image in Angular 4/5.

Hidden property of a button in HTML

It also works without jQuery if you do the following changes:

  1. Add type="button" to the edit button in order not to trigger submission of the form.

  2. Change the name of your function from change() to anything else.

  3. Don't use hidden="hidden", use CSS instead: style="display: none;".

The following code works for me:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="dba_style/buttons.css" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function do_change(){
document.getElementById("save").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("change").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("cancel").style.display = "block";
}
</script>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<div class="buttons">

<button type="button" class="regular" name="edit" id="edit" onclick="do_change(); return false;">
    <img src="dba_images/textfield_key.png" alt=""/>
    Edit
</button>

<button type="submit" class="positive" name="save" id="save" style="display:none;">
    <img src="dba_images/apply2.png" alt=""/>
    Save
</button>

<button class="regular" name="change" id="change" style="display:none;">
    <img src="dba_images/textfield_key.png" alt=""/>
    change
</button>

    <button class="negative" name="cancel" id="cancel" style="display:none;">
        <img src="dba_images/cross.png" alt=""/>
        Cancel
    </button>

How to remove item from array by value?

Simply

var ary = ['three', 'seven', 'eleven'];
var index = ary.indexOf('seven'); // get index if value found otherwise -1

if (index > -1) { //if found
  ary.splice(index, 1);
}

The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character

We can remove unnecessary string input in front of the value.

string convert = hdnImage.Replace("data:image/png;base64,", String.Empty);

byte[] image64 = Convert.FromBase64String(convert);
