Programs & Examples On #Attributeerror

The Python `AttributeError` exception.

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute

value_counts work only for series. It won't work for entire DataFrame. Try selecting only one column and using this attribute. For example:

df['accepted'].value_counts()

It also won't work if you have duplicate columns. This is because when you select a particular column, it will also represent the duplicate column and will return dataframe instead of series. At that time remove duplicate column by using

df = df.loc[:,~df.columns.duplicated()]
df['accepted'].value_counts()

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlretrieve'

A Python 2+3 compatible solution is:

import sys

if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:
    from urllib.request import urlretrieve
else:
    # Not Python 3 - today, it is most likely to be Python 2
    # But note that this might need an update when Python 4
    # might be around one day
    from urllib import urlretrieve

# Get file from URL like this:
urlretrieve("http://www-scf.usc.edu/~chiso/oldspice/m-b1-hello.mp3")

Why does this AttributeError in python occur?

This happens because the scipy module doesn't have any attribute named sparse. That attribute only gets defined when you import scipy.sparse.

Submodules don't automatically get imported when you just import scipy; you need to import them explicitly. The same holds for most packages, although a package can choose to import its own submodules if it wants to. (For example, if scipy/__init__.py included a statement import scipy.sparse, then the sparse submodule would be imported whenever you import scipy.)

AttributeError("'str' object has no attribute 'read'")

If you get a python error like this:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'some_method'

You probably poisoned your object accidentally by overwriting your object with a string.

How to reproduce this error in python with a few lines of code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import json
def foobar(json):
    msg = json.loads(json)

foobar('{"batman": "yes"}')

Run it, which prints:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'loads'

But change the name of the variablename, and it works fine:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import json
def foobar(jsonstring):
    msg = json.loads(jsonstring)

foobar('{"batman": "yes"}')

This error is caused when you tried to run a method within a string. String has a few methods, but not the one you are invoking. So stop trying to invoke a method which String does not define and start looking for where you poisoned your object.

Python: instance has no attribute

Your class doesn't have a __init__(), so by the time it's instantiated, the attribute atoms is not present. You'd have to do C.setdata('something') so C.atoms becomes available.

>>> C = Residues()
>>> C.atoms.append('thing')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#84>", line 1, in <module>
    B.atoms.append('thing')
AttributeError: Residues instance has no attribute 'atoms'

>>> C.setdata('something')
>>> C.atoms.append('thing')   # now it works
>>> 

Unlike in languages like Java, where you know at compile time what attributes/member variables an object will have, in Python you can dynamically add attributes at runtime. This also implies instances of the same class can have different attributes.

To ensure you'll always have (unless you mess with it down the line, then it's your own fault) an atoms list you could add a constructor:

def __init__(self):
    self.atoms = []

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute

The problem is in your playerMovement method. You are creating the string name of your room variables (ID1, ID2, ID3):

letsago = "ID" + str(self.dirDesc.values())

However, what you create is just a str. It is not the variable. Plus, I do not think it is doing what you think its doing:

>>>str({'a':1}.values())
'dict_values([1])'

If you REALLY needed to find the variable this way, you could use the eval function:

>>>foo = 'Hello World!'
>>>eval('foo')
'Hello World!'

or the globals function:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Foo, self).__init__()
    def test(self, name):
        print(globals()[name])

foo = Foo()
bar = 'Hello World!'
foo.text('bar')

However, instead I would strongly recommend you rethink you class(es). Your userInterface class is essentially a Room. It shouldn't handle player movement. This should be within another class, maybe GameManager or something like that.

Why Python 3.6.1 throws AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'?

If anyone coming here because of getting this error while running a google app engine Python 3.7 standard environment project in PyCharm then all you need to do is

  • Make sure the configuration to run is for Flask, not Google App Engine configuration.
  • Then disable Google App Engine support under Preferences >> Languages & Framework >> Google App Engine

The reason being as per this link

The overall goal is that your app should be fully portable and run in any standard Python environment. You write a standard Python app, not an App Engine Python app. As part of this shift, you are no longer required to use proprietary App Engine APIs and services for your app's core functionality. At this time, App Engine APIs are not available in the Python 3.7 runtime.

I guess when we create a python 3.7 project in PyCharm as a Google app engine project it still tries to do the same way it does for a python2.7 app

Beginner Python: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute

Consider:

class Bike(object):
    def __init__(self, name, weight, cost):
        self.name = name
        self.weight = weight
        self.cost = cost

bikes = {
    # Bike designed for children"
    "Trike": Bike("Trike", 20, 100),      # <--
    # Bike designed for everyone"
    "Kruzer": Bike("Kruzer", 50, 165),    # <--
    }

# Markup of 20% on all sales
margin = .2
# Revenue minus cost after sale
for bike in bikes.values():
    profit = bike.cost * margin
    print(profit)

Output:

33.0
20.0

The difference is that in your bikes dictionary, you're initializing the values as lists [...]. Instead, it looks like the rest of your code wants Bike instances. So create Bike instances: Bike(...).

As for your error

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'cost'

this will occur when you try to call .cost on a list object. Pretty straightforward, but we can figure out what happened by looking at where you call .cost -- in this line:

profit = bike.cost * margin

This indicates that at least one bike (that is, a member of bikes.values() is a list). If you look at where you defined bikes you can see that the values were, in fact, lists. So this error makes sense.

But since your class has a cost attribute, it looked like you were trying to use Bike instances as values, so I made that little change:

[...] -> Bike(...)

and you're all set.

Why do I get AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'something'?

Consider the code below.

def return_something(someint):
 if  someint > 5:
    return someint

y = return_something(2)
y.real()

This is going to give you the error

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'real'

So points are as below.

  1. In the code, a function or class method is not returning anything or returning the None
  2. Then you try to access an attribute of that returned object(which is None), causing the error message.

"import datetime" v.s. "from datetime import datetime"

try this:

import datetime
from datetime import datetime as dt

today_date = datetime.date.today()
date_time = dt.strptime(date_time_string, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')

strp() doesn't exist. I think you mean strptime.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute

SoLvEd

Python is looking for the a object within your a.py module.

Either RENAME that file to something else or use

from __future__ import absolute_import 

at the top of your a.py module.

Imitating a blink tag with CSS3 animations

Reinitialize Slick js after successful ajax call

After calling an request, set timeout to initialize slick slider.

var options = {
    arrows: false,
    slidesToShow: 1,
    variableWidth: true,
    centerPadding: '10px'
}

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: review_url+"?page="+page,
    success: function(result){
        setTimeout(function () {
            $(".reviews-page-carousel").slick(options)
        }, 500);
    }
})

Do not initialize slick slider at start. Just initialize after an AJAX with timeout. That should work for you.

PHP + curl, HTTP POST sample code?

Examples of sending form and raw data:

$curlHandler = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curlHandler, [
    CURLOPT_URL => 'https://postman-echo.com/post',
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

    /**
     * Specify POST method
     */
    CURLOPT_POST => true,

    /**
     * Specify array of form fields
     */
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
        'foo' => 'bar',
        'baz' => 'biz',
    ],
]);

$response = curl_exec($curlHandler);

curl_close($curlHandler);

echo($response);

How to trigger the onclick event of a marker on a Google Maps V3?

I've found out the solution! Thanks to Firebug ;)

//"markers" is an array that I declared which contains all the marker of the map
//"i" is the index of the marker in the array that I want to trigger the OnClick event

//V2 version is:
GEvent.trigger(markers[i], 'click');

//V3 version is:
google.maps.event.trigger(markers[i], 'click');

CSS :: child set to change color on parent hover, but changes also when hovered itself

If you don't care about supporting old browsers, you can use :not() to exclude that element:

.parent:hover span:not(:hover) {
    border: 10px solid red;
}

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vz9A9/1/

If you do want to support them, the I guess you'll have to either use JavaScript or override the CSS properties again:

.parent span:hover {
    border: 10px solid green;
}

Generating a PNG with matplotlib when DISPLAY is undefined

For Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('Agg')
from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages

And then to print to file:

#PDF build and save
    def multi_page(filename, figs=None, dpi=200):
        pp = PdfPages(filename)
        if figs is None:
            figs = [mpl.pyplot.figure(n) for n in mpl.pyplot.get_fignums()]
        for fig in figs:
            fig.savefig(pp, format='pdf', bbox_inches='tight', fig_size=(10, 8))
        pp.close()

and to create the PDF:

multi_page(report_name)

Passing in class names to react components

With React's support for string interpolation, you could do the following:

class Pill extends React.Component {
    render() {
       return (
          <button className={`pill ${this.props.styleName}`}>{this.props.children}</button>
       );
    }
}

Textarea to resize based on content length

You may also try contenteditable attribute onto a normal p or div. Not really a textarea but it will auto-resize without script.

    border: ridge 2px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 20em;

Refused to load the script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive

Adding the meta tag to ignore this policy was not helping us, because our webserver was injecting the Content-Security-Policy header in the response.

In our case we are using Ngnix as the web server for a Tomcat 9 Java-based application. From the web server, it is directing the browser not to allow inline scripts, so for a temporary testing we have turned off Content-Security-Policy by commenting.

How to turn it off in ngnix

  • By default, ngnix ssl.conf file will have this adding a header to the response:

    #> grep 'Content-Security' -ir /etc/nginx/global/ssl.conf add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'; script-src 'self'; img-src 'self'; style-src 'self'; base-uri 'self'; form-action 'self';";

  • If you just comment this line and restart ngnix, it should not be adding the header to the response.

If you are concerned about security or in production please do not follow this, use these steps as only for testing purpose and moving on.

ReactJS: Warning: setState(...): Cannot update during an existing state transition

If you are trying to add arguments to a handler in recompose, make sure that you're defining your arguments correctly in the handler. It is essentially a curried function, so you want to be sure to require the correct number of arguments. This page has a good example of using arguments with handlers.

Example (from the link):

withHandlers({
  handleClick: props => (value1, value2) => event => {
    console.log(event)
    alert(value1 + ' was clicked!')
    props.doSomething(value2)
  },
})

for your child HOC and in the parent

class MyComponent extends Component {
  static propTypes = {
    handleClick: PropTypes.func, 
  }
  render () {
    const {handleClick} = this.props
    return (
      <div onClick={handleClick(value1, value2)} />
    )
  }
}

this avoids writing an anonymous function out of your handler to patch fix the problem with not supplying enough parameter names on your handler.

PHP Curl And Cookies

Solutions which are described above, even with unique CookieFile names, can cause a lot of problems on scale.

We had to serve a lot of authentications with this solution and our server went down because of high file read write actions.

The solution for this was to use Apache Reverse Proxy and omit CURL requests at all.

Details how to use Proxy on Apache can be found here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/reverse_proxy.html

How do I change the ID of a HTML element with JavaScript?

You can modify the id without having to use getElementById

Example:

<div id = 'One' onclick = "One.id = 'Two'; return false;">One</div>

You can see it here: http://jsbin.com/elikaj/1/

Tested with Mozilla Firefox 22 and Google Chrome 60.0

Change column type in pandas

When I've only needed to specify specific columns, and I want to be explicit, I've used (per DOCS LOCATION):

dataframe = dataframe.astype({'col_name_1':'int','col_name_2':'float64', etc. ...})

So, using the original question, but providing column names to it ...

a = [['a', '1.2', '4.2'], ['b', '70', '0.03'], ['x', '5', '0']]
df = pd.DataFrame(a, columns=['col_name_1', 'col_name_2', 'col_name_3'])
df = df.astype({'col_name_2':'float64', 'col_name_3':'float64'})

How to move (and overwrite) all files from one directory to another?

In linux shell, many commands accept multiple parameters and therefore could be used with wild cards. So, for example if you want to move all files from folder A to folder B, you write:

mv A/* B

If you want to move all files with a certain "look" to it, you could do like this:

mv A/*.txt B

Which copies all files that are blablabla.txt to folder B

Star (*) can substitute any number of characters or letters while ? can substitute one. For example if you have many files in the shape file_number.ext and you want to move only the ones that have two digit numbers, you could use a command like this:

mv A/file_??.ext B

Or more complicated examples:

mv A/fi*_??.e* B

For files that look like fi<-something->_<-two characters->.e<-something->

Unlike many commands in shell that require -R to (for example) copy or remove subfolders, mv does that itself.

Remember that mv overwrites without asking (unless the files being overwritten are read only or you don't have permission) so make sure you don't lose anything in the process.

For your future information, if you have subfolders that you want to copy, you could use the -R option, saying you want to do the command recursively. So it would look something like this:

cp A/* B -R

By the way, all I said works with rm (remove, delete) and cp (copy) too and beware, because once you delete, there is no turning back! Avoid commands like rm * -R unless you are sure what you are doing.

How do I find files that do not contain a given string pattern?

Open bug report

As commented by @tukan, there is an open bug report for Ag regarding the -L/--files-without-matches flag:

As there is little progress to the bug report, the -L option mentioned below should not be relied on, not as long as the bug has not been resolved. Use different approaches presented in this thread instead. Citing a comment for the bug report [emphasis mine]:

Any updates on this? -L completely ignores matches on the first line of the file. Seems like if this isn't going to be fixed soon, the flag should be removed entirely, as it effectively does not work as advertised at all.


The Silver Searcher - Ag (intended function - see bug report)

As a powerful alternative to grep, you could use the The Silver Searcher - Ag:

A code searching tool similar to ack, with a focus on speed.

Looking at man ag, we find the -L or --files-without-matches option:

...

OPTIONS
    ...

    -L --files-without-matches
           Only print the names of files that don´t contain matches.

I.e., to recursively search for files that do not match foo, from current directory:

ag -L foo

To only search current directory for files that do not match foo, simply specify --depth=0 for the recursion:

ag -L foo --depth 0

Adding 30 minutes to time formatted as H:i in PHP

$time = 30 * 60; //30 minutes
$start_time = date('Y-m-d h:i:s', time() - $time);
$end_time = date('Y-m-d h:i:s', time() + $time);

Should ol/ul be inside <p> or outside?

How to change a css class style through Javascript?

There are two ways in which this can be accomplished using vanilla javascript. The first is className and the second is classList. className works in all browsers but can be unwieldy to work with when modifying an element's class attribute. classList is an easier way to modify an element's class(es).

To outright set an element's class attribute, className is the way to go, otherwise to modify an element's class(es), it's easier to use classList.

Initial Html

<div id="ID"></div>

Setting the class attribute

var div = document.getElementById('ID');
div.className = "foo bar car";

Result:

<div id="ID" class="foo bar car"></div>

Adding a class

div.classList.add("car");// Class already exists, nothing happens
div.classList.add("tar");

Note: There's no need to test if a class exists before adding it. If a class needs to be added, just add it. If it already exists, a duplicate won't be added.
Result:

<div id="ID" class="foo bar car tar"></div>

Removing a class

div.classList.remove("car");
div.classList.remove("tar");
div.classList.remove("car");// No class of this name exists, nothing happens

Note: Just like add, if a class needs to be removed, remove it. If it's there, it'll be removed, otherwise nothing will happen.
Result:

<div id="ID" class="foo bar"></div>

Checking if a class attribute contains a specific class

if (div.classList.contains("foo")) {
  // Do stuff
}

Toggling a class

var classWasAdded = div.classList.toggle("bar"); // "bar" gets removed
// classWasAdded is false since "bar" was removed

classWasAdded = div.classList.toggle("bar"); // "bar" gets added
// classWasAdded is true since "bar" was added

.toggle has a second boolean parameter that, in my opinion, is redundant and isn't worth going over.

For more information on classList, check out MDN. It also covers browser compatibility if that's a concern, which can be addressed by using Modernizr for detection and a polyfill if needed.

Color a table row with style="color:#fff" for displaying in an email

For email templates, inline CSS is the properly used method to style:

<thead>
    <tr style="color: #fff; background: black;">
        <th>Header 1</th>
        <th>Header 2</th>
        <th>Header 3</th>
    </tr>
</thead>

Sequelize OR condition object

In Sequelize version 5 you might also can use this way (full use Operator Sequelize) :

var condition = 
{ 
  [Op.or]: [ 
   { 
     LastName: {
      [Op.eq]: "Doe"
      },
    },
   { 
     FirstName: {
      [Op.or]: ["John", "Jane"]
      }
   },
   {
      Age:{
        [Op.gt]: 18
      }
    }
 ]
}

And then, you must include this :

const Op = require('Sequelize').Op

and pass it in :

Student.findAll(condition)
.success(function(students){ 
//
})

It could beautifully generate SQL like this :

"SELECT * FROM Student WHERE LastName='Doe' OR FirstName in ("John","Jane") OR Age>18"

Chrome ignores autocomplete="off"

UPDATE

It seems now Chrome ignores the style="display: none;" or style="visibility: hidden; attributes.

You can change it to something like:

<input style="opacity: 0;position: absolute;">
<input type="password" style="opacity: 0;position: absolute;">

In my experience, Chrome only autocompletes the first <input type="password"> and the previous <input>. So I've added:

<input style="display:none">
<input type="password" style="display:none">

To the top of the <form> and the case was resolved.

Bash array with spaces in elements

I used to reset the IFS value and rollback when done.

# backup IFS value
O_IFS=$IFS

# reset IFS value
IFS=""

FILES=(
"2011-09-04 21.43.02.jpg"
"2011-09-05 10.23.14.jpg"
"2011-09-09 12.31.16.jpg"
"2011-09-11 08.43.12.jpg"
)

for file in ${FILES[@]}; do
    echo ${file}
done

# rollback IFS value
IFS=${O_IFS}

Possible output from the loop:

2011-09-04 21.43.02.jpg

2011-09-05 10.23.14.jpg

2011-09-09 12.31.16.jpg

2011-09-11 08.43.12.jpg

How to write unit testing for Angular / TypeScript for private methods with Jasmine

The point of "don't test private methods" really is Test the class like someone who uses it.

If you have a public API with 5 methods, any consumer of your class can use these, and therefore you should test them. A consumer should not access the private methods/properties of your class, meaning you can change private members when the public exposed functionality stays the same.


If you rely on internal extensible functionality, use protected instead of private.
Note that protected is still a public API (!), just used differently.

class OverlyComplicatedCalculator {
    public add(...numbers: number[]): number {
        return this.calculate((a, b) => a + b, numbers);
    }
    // can't be used or tested via ".calculate()", but it is still part of your public API!
    protected calculate(operation, operands) {
        let result = operands[0];
        for (let i = 1; i < operands.length; operands++) {
            result = operation(result, operands[i]);
        }
        return result;
    }
}

Unit test protected properties in the same way a consumer would use them, via subclassing:

it('should be extensible via calculate()', () => {
    class TestCalculator extends OverlyComplicatedCalculator {
        public testWithArrays(array: any[]): any[] {
            const concat = (a, b) => [].concat(a, b);
            // tests the protected method
            return this.calculate(concat, array);
        }
    }
    let testCalc = new TestCalculator();
    let result = testCalc.testWithArrays([1, 'two', 3]);
    expect(result).toEqual([1, 'two', 3]);
});

How do I output the results of a HiveQL query to CSV?

This is most csv friendly way I found to output the results of HiveQL.
You don't need any grep or sed commands to format the data, instead hive supports it, just need to add extra tag of outputformat.

hive --outputformat=csv2 -e 'select * from <table_name> limit 20' > /path/toStore/data/results.csv

remove objects from array by object property

var arrayOfObjects = [{id:'abc',name:'oh'}, // delete me
                      {id:'efg',name:'em'}, // delete me
                      {id:'hij',name:'ge'}] // all that should remain

as per your answer will be like this. when you click some particular object send the index in the param for the delete me function. This simple code will work like charm.

function deleteme(i){
    if (i > -1) {
      arrayOfObjects.splice(i, 1);
    }
}

How can I monitor the thread count of a process on linux?

Newer JDK distributions ship with JConsole and VisualVM. Both are fantastic tools for getting the dirty details from a running Java process. If you have to do this programmatically, investigate JMX.

Angular 2 Show and Hide an element

There are two options depending what you want to achieve :

  1. You can use the hidden directive to show or hide an element

    <div [hidden]="!edited" class="alert alert-success box-msg" role="alert">
      <strong>List Saved!</strong> Your changes has been saved.
    </div>
    
  2. You can use the ngIf control directive to add or remove the element. This is different of the hidden directive because it does not show / hide the element, but it add / remove from the DOM. You can loose unsaved data of the element. It can be the better choice for an edit component that is cancelled.

    <div *ngIf="edited" class="alert alert-success box-msg" role="alert"> 
      <strong>List Saved!</strong> Your changes has been saved.
    </div>
    

For you problem of change after 3 seconds, it can be due to incompatibility with setTimeout. Did you include angular2-polyfills.js library in your page ?

What is the difference between readonly="true" & readonly="readonly"?

According to HTML standards, the use of

<input name="TextBox1" type="text" id="TextBox1" readonly/>

is enough to make the input element readonly. But, XHTML standard says that the usage listed above is invalid due to attribute minimization. You can refer to the links below:

https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/diffs.html#h-4.5

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_readonly.asp

Using a Python subprocess call to invoke a Python script

If you're on Linux/Unix you could avoid call() altogether and not execute an entirely new instance of the Python executable and its environment.

import os

cpid = os.fork()
if not cpid:
    import somescript
    os._exit(0)

os.waitpid(cpid, 0)

For what it's worth.

Is there a default password to connect to vagrant when using `homestead ssh` for the first time?

I've a same problem. After move machine from restore of Time Machine, on another host. There problem it's that ssh key for vagrant it's not your key, it's a key on Homestead directory.

Solution for me:

  • Use vagrant / vagrant for access ti VM of Homestead
  • vagrant ssh-config for see config of ssh

run on terminal

vagrant ssh-config
Host default
HostName 127.0.0.1
User vagrant
Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile "/Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
ForwardAgent yes

Create a new pair of SSH keys

ssh-keygen -f /Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key

Copy content of public key

cat /Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key.pub

On other shell in Homestead VM Machine copy into authorized_keys

vagrant@homestad:~$ echo 'CONTENT_PASTE_OF_PRIVATE_KEY' >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Now can access with vagrant ssh

Zip lists in Python

It's worth adding here as it is such a highly ranking question on zip. zip is great, idiomatic Python - but it doesn't scale very well at all for large lists.

Instead of:

books = ['AAAAAAA', 'BAAAAAAA', ... , 'ZZZZZZZ']
words = [345, 567, ... , 672]

for book, word in zip(books, words):
   print('{}: {}'.format(book, word))

Use izip. For modern processing, it stores it in L1 Cache memory and is far more performant for larger lists. Use it as simply as adding an i:

for book, word in izip(books, words):
   print('{}: {}'.format(book, word))

How to change Java version used by TOMCAT?

On Linux, Tomcat7 has a configuration file located at:

/etc/sysconfig/tomcat7

... which is where server specific configurations should be made. You can set the JAVA_HOME env variable here w/o needing to create a profile.d/ script.

This worked for me.

Why is my JavaScript function sometimes "not defined"?

This has probably been corrected, but... apparently firefox has a caching problem which is the cause of javascript functions not being recognized.. I really don't know the specifics, but if you clear your cache that will fix the problem (until your cache is full again... not a good solution).. I've been looking around to see if firefox has a real solution to this, but so far nothing... oh not all versions, I think it may be only in some 3.6.x versions, not sure...

R adding days to a date

Just use

 as.Date("2001-01-01") + 45

from base R, or date functionality in one of the many contributed packages. My RcppBDT package wraps functionality from Boost Date_Time including things like 'date of third Wednesday' in a given month.

Edit: And egged on by @Andrie, here is a bit more from RcppBDT (which is mostly a test case for Rcpp modules, really).

How to mock private method for testing using PowerMock?

A generic solution that will work with any testing framework (if your class is non-final) is to manually create your own mock.

  1. Change your private method to protected.
  2. In your test class extend the class
  3. override the previously-private method to return whatever constant you want

This doesn't use any framework so its not as elegant but it will always work: even without PowerMock. Alternatively, you can use Mockito to do steps #2 & #3 for you, if you've done step #1 already.

To mock a private method directly, you'll need to use PowerMock as shown in the other answer.

Get changes from master into branch in Git

For me, I had changes already in place and I wanted the latest from the base branch. I was unable to do rebase, and cherry-pick would have taken forever, so I did the following:

git fetch origin <base branch name>  
git merge FETCH_HEAD

so in this case:

git fetch origin master  
git merge FETCH_HEAD

How to print the number of characters in each line of a text file

How to set the DefaultRoute to another Route in React Router

I ran into a similar issue; I wanted a default route handler if none of the route handler matched.

My solutions is to use a wildcard as the path value. ie Also make sure it is the last entry in your routes definition.

<Route path="/" component={App} >
    <IndexRoute component={HomePage} />
    <Route path="about" component={AboutPage} />
    <Route path="home" component={HomePage} />
    <Route path="*" component={HomePage} />
</Route>

What are the best PHP input sanitizing functions?

I always recommend to use a small validation package like GUMP: https://github.com/Wixel/GUMP

Build all you basic functions arround a library like this and is is nearly impossible to forget sanitation. "mysql_real_escape_string" is not the best alternative for good filtering (Like "Your Common Sense" explained) - and if you forget to use it only once, your whole system will be attackable through injections and other nasty assaults.

jQuery posting JSON

In case you are sending this post request to a cross domain, you should check out this link.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/1320708/969984

Your server is not accepting the cross site post request. So the server configuration needs to be changed to allow cross site requests.

How to get row from R data.frame

Logical indexing is very R-ish. Try:

 x[ x$A ==5 & x$B==4.25 & x$C==4.5 , ] 

Or:

subset( x, A ==5 & B==4.25 & C==4.5 )

denied: requested access to the resource is denied : docker

My answer is related to Azure DevOps similar issues I had with the following common pipeline (it is more specific but it might help somebody save time):

  1. Get sources from github
  2. Build docker image
  3. Push docker image to dockerhub

The error I received at push denied: requested access to the resource is denied sent me here.

Please be careful of the variable $(Build.Repository.Name) included in your image name. It is by default the name of the repository from github, but for your push to work it should be dockerhub_account_username/your_dockerhub_repository_name.

Replace $(Build.Repository.Name) with dockerhub_account_username/your_dockerhub_repository_name in your image name field for both build and push steps.

This is needed by the dockerhub api to know where to push the image.

How to get the selected item from ListView?

You are implementing the Click Handler rather than Select Handler. A List by default doesn't suppose to have selection.

What you should change, in your above example, is to

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View v, int position, long id) {
    MyClass item = (MyClass) adapter.getItem(position);
}

How to order by with union in SQL?

Why not use TOP X?

SELECT pass1.* FROM 
 (SELECT TOP 2000000 tblA.ID, tblA.CustomerName 
  FROM TABLE_A AS tblA ORDER BY 2) AS pass1
UNION ALL 
SELECT pass2.* FROM 
  (SELECT TOP 2000000 tblB.ID, tblB.CustomerName 
   FROM TABLE_B AS tblB ORDER BY 2) AS pass2

The TOP 2000000 is an arbitrary number, that is big enough to capture all of the data. Adjust as per your requirements.

Returning from a void function

The only reason to have a return in a void function would be to exit early due to some conditional statement:

void foo(int y)
{
    if(y == 0) return;

    // do stuff with y
}

As unwind said: when the code ends, it ends. No need for an explicit return at the end.

Android EditText delete(backspace) key event

It's been a while since you asked but I just had the same issue. As already mentioned by Estel the problem with key listeners is that they only work with hardware keyboards. To do this with an IME (soft keyboard), the solution is a bit more elaborate.

The single method we actually want to override is sendKeyEvent in the EditText's InputConnection class. This method is called when key events occur in an IME. But in order to override this, we need to implement a custom EditText which overrides the onCreateInputConnection method, wrapping the default InputConnection object in a proxy class! :|

Sounds complicated, but here's the simplest example I could contrive:

public class ZanyEditText extends EditText {

    private Random r = new Random();

    public ZanyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public ZanyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public ZanyEditText(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public void setRandomBackgroundColor() {
        setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(r.nextInt(256), r.nextInt(256), r
                .nextInt(256)));
    }

    @Override
    public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) {
        return new ZanyInputConnection(super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs),
                true);
    }

    private class ZanyInputConnection extends InputConnectionWrapper {

        public ZanyInputConnection(InputConnection target, boolean mutable) {
            super(target, mutable);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean sendKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
            if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN
                    && event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DEL) {
                ZanyEditText.this.setRandomBackgroundColor();
                // Un-comment if you wish to cancel the backspace:
                // return false;
            }
            return super.sendKeyEvent(event);
        }

    }

}

The line with the call to setRandomBackgroundColor is where my special backspace action occurs. In this case, changing the EditText's background colour.

If you're inflating this from XML remember to use the full package name as the tag:

<cc.buttfu.test.ZanyEditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/somefield"
></cc.buttfu.test.ZanyEditText>

How can I throw a general exception in Java?

Java has a large number of built-in exceptions for different scenarios.

In this case, you should throw an IllegalArgumentException, since the problem is that the caller passed a bad parameter.

Android : How to set onClick event for Button in List item of ListView

This has been discussed in many posts but still I could not figure out a solution with:

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

Below solution will work with any of the ui components : Button, ImageButtons, ImageView, Textview. LinearLayout, RelativeLayout clicks inside a listview cell and also will respond to onItemClick:

Adapter class - getview():

    @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = convertView;
            if (view == null) {
                view = lInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_ref_row, parent, false);
            }
            final Organization currentOrg = organizationlist.get(position).getOrganization();

            TextView name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name);
            Button btn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_check);
            btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    context.doSelection(currentOrg);

                }
            });

       if(currentOrg.isSelected()){
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sub_search_tick);
        }else{
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sub_search_tick_box);
        }

    }

In this was you can get the button clicked object to the activity. (Specially when you want the button to act as a check box with selected and non-selected states):

    public void doSelection(Organization currentOrg) {
        Log.e("Btn clicked ", currentOrg.getOrgName());
        if (currentOrg.isSelected() == false) {
            currentOrg.setSelected(true);
        } else {
            currentOrg.setSelected(false);
        }
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

    }

WampServer orange icon

If you are using wampserver 3 (recommended, works with no configuration usually)

  • click wampserver icon > apache > service administration > install service
  • click wampserver icon > mysql > service administration > install service
  • click wampserver icon > mariadb > service administration > install service
  • click wampserver icon > restart all services

if this doesnt fix it, try:

  • right click wampserver icon > Tools > Check httpd.conf syntax (then fix the issue it identifies and restart all services, likely it's bad syntax in your virtual hosts file)

  • right click wampserver icon > Tools > test port 80 (you likely have skype turned on or something else, turn it off and restart all services)

If this doesnt fix it, maybe have a windows conflict:

If this doesnt fix it:

  • right click wampserver icon > tools

What is the purpose of Node.js module.exports and how do you use it?

Make div (height) occupy parent remaining height

You can use floats for pushing content down:

http://jsfiddle.net/S8g4E/5/

You have a fixed size container:

#container {
    width: 300px; height: 300px;
}

Content is allowed to flow next to a float. Unless we set the float to full width:

#up {
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
}

While #up and #down share the top position, #down's content can only start after the bottom of the floated #up:

#down {
    height:100%;
}?

AST_NODE* Statement(AST_NODE* node)

How do I run a program with a different working directory from current, from Linux shell?

Similar to David Schmitt's answer, plus Josh's suggestion, but doesn't leave a shell process running:

(cd /c && exec /a/helloworld)

This way is more similar to how you usually run commands on the shell. To see the practical difference, you have to run ps ef from another shell with each solution.

Synchronous request in Node.js

I'd use a recursive function with a list of apis

var APIs = [ '/api_1.php', '/api_2.php', '/api_3.php' ];
var host = 'www.example.com';

function callAPIs ( host, APIs ) {
  var API = APIs.shift();
  http.get({ host: host, path: API }, function(res) { 
    var body = '';
    res.on('data', function (d) {
      body += d; 
    });
    res.on('end', function () {
      if( APIs.length ) {
        callAPIs ( host, APIs );
      }
    });
  });
}

callAPIs( host, APIs );

edit: request version

var request = require('request');
var APIs = [ '/api_1.php', '/api_2.php', '/api_3.php' ];
var host = 'www.example.com';
var APIs = APIs.map(function (api) {
  return 'http://' + host + api;
});

function callAPIs ( host, APIs ) {
  var API = APIs.shift();
  request(API, function(err, res, body) { 
    if( APIs.length ) {
      callAPIs ( host, APIs );
    }
  });
}

callAPIs( host, APIs );

edit: request/async version

var request = require('request');
var async = require('async');
var APIs = [ '/api_1.php', '/api_2.php', '/api_3.php' ];
var host = 'www.example.com';
var APIs = APIs.map(function (api) {
  return 'http://' + host + api;
});

async.eachSeries(function (API, cb) {
  request(API, function (err, res, body) {
    cb(err);
  });
}, function (err) {
  //called when all done, or error occurs
});

How to convert a String to a Date using SimpleDateFormat?

String newstr = "08/16/2011";
SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

c.setTime(format1.parse(newstr));
System.out.println(format.format(c.getTime()));

Push to GitHub without a password using ssh-key

Using the command line:

Enter ls -al ~/.ssh to see if existing SSH keys are present.

In the terminal is shows: No directory exist

Then generate a new SSH key

Step 1.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

step 2.

Enter a file in which to save the key (/Users/you/.ssh/id_rsa): <here is file name and enter the key>

step 3.

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a password]

Enter same passphrase again: [Type password again]

Remove portion of a string after a certain character

Austin's answer works for your example case.

More generally, you would do well to look into the regular expression functions when the substring you're splitting on may differ between strings:

$variable = preg_replace('/By.*/', '', $variable);

Dropdown select with images

You don't even need javascript to do this!

I hope this got you intrigued so here it goes. First, the html structure:

<div id="image-dropdown">
    <input type="radio" id="line1" name="line-style" value="1" checked="checked" />
    <label for="line1"></label>
    <input type="radio" id="line2" name="line-style" value="2" />
    <label for="line2"></label>
    ...
</div>

Whaaat? Radio buttons? Correct. We'll style them to look like a dropdown list with images, because that's what you're after! The trick is in knowing that when labels are correctly linked to inputs (that "for" attribute and target element id), the input will implicitly become active; click on a label = click on a radio button. Here comes comes slightly abbreviated css with comments inline:

#image-dropdown {
    /*style the "box" in its minimzed state*/
    border:1px solid black; width:200px; height:50px; overflow:hidden;
    /*animate the dropdown collapsing*/
    transition: height 0.1s;
}
#image-dropdown:hover {
    /*when expanded, the dropdown will get native means of scrolling*/
    height:200px; overflow-y:scroll;
    /*animate the dropdown expanding*/
    transition: height 0.5s;
}
#image-dropdown input {
    /*hide the nasty default radio buttons!*/
    position:absolute;top:0;left:0;opacity:0;
}
#image-dropdown label {
    /*style the labels to look like dropdown options*/
    display:none; margin:2px; height:46px; opacity:0.2; 
    background:url("http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png") 50% 50%;}
#image-dropdown:hover label{
    /*this is how labels render in the "expanded" state.
     we want to see only the selected radio button in the collapsed menu,
     and all of them when expanded*/
    display:block;
}
#image-dropdown input:checked + label {
    /*tricky! labels immediately following a checked radio button
      (with our markup they are semantically related) should be fully opaque
      and visible even in the collapsed menu*/
    opacity:1 !important; display:block;
}

Full example here: http://jsfiddle.net/NDCSR/1/

NB1: you'll probably need to use it with position:absolute inside a container with position:relative +high z-index.

NB2: when adding more backgrounds for individual line styles, consider having the selectors based on the "for" attribute of the label like so:

label[for=linestyle2] {background-image:url(...);}

How to find the default JMX port number?

Now I need to connect that application from my local computer, but I don't know the JMX port number of the remote computer. Where can I find it? Or, must I restart that application with some VM parameters to specify the port number?

By default JMX does not publish on a port unless you specify the arguments from this page: How to activate JMX...

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote # no longer required for JDK6
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false # careful with security implications
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false # careful with security implications

If you are running you should be able to access any of those system properties to see if they have been set:

if (System.getProperty("com.sun.management.jmxremote") == null) {
    System.out.println("JMX remote is disabled");
} else [
    String portString = System.getProperty("com.sun.management.jmxremote.port");
    if (portString != null) {
        System.out.println("JMX running on port "
            + Integer.parseInt(portString));
    }
}

Depending on how the server is connected, you might also have to specify the following parameter. As part of the initial JMX connection, jconsole connects up to the RMI port to determine which port the JMX server is running on. When you initially start up a JMX enabled application, it looks its own hostname to determine what address to return in that initial RMI transaction. If your hostname is not in /etc/hosts or if it is set to an incorrect interface address then you can override it with the following:

-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<IP address>

As an aside, my SimpleJMX package allows you to define both the JMX server and the RMI port or set them both to the same port. The above port defined with com.sun.management.jmxremote.port is actually the RMI port. This tells the client what port the JMX server is running on.

Get HTML5 localStorage keys

If the browser supports HTML5 LocalStorage it should also implement Array.prototype.map, enabling this:

Array.apply(0, new Array(localStorage.length)).map(function (o, i) {
    return localStorage.key(i);
})

Download single files from GitHub

For users with GitHub Enterprise you need to construct URL in following scheme

Invoke-WebRequest http://github.mycompany.com/api/v3/repos/my-org/my-repo/contents/myfiles/file.txt -Headers @{"Authorization"="token 8d795936d2c1b2806587719b9b6456bd16549ad8"}

Remove empty strings from a list of strings

filter(None, sequence)

It will filter out all elements that evaluate to False. No need to use an actual callable here such as bool, len and so on.

It's equally fast as map(bool, ...)

How to write subquery inside the OUTER JOIN Statement

You need the "correlation id" (the "AS SS" thingy) on the sub-select to reference the fields in the "ON" condition. The id's assigned inside the sub select are not usable in the join.

SELECT
       cs.CUSID
       ,dp.DEPID
FROM
    CUSTMR cs
        LEFT OUTER JOIN (
            SELECT
                    DEPID
                    ,DEPNAME
                FROM
                    DEPRMNT 
                WHERE
                    dp.DEPADDRESS = 'TOKYO'
        ) ss
            ON (
                ss.DEPID = cs.CUSID
                AND ss.DEPNAME = cs.CUSTNAME
            )
WHERE
    cs.CUSID != '' 

Password encryption/decryption code in .NET

This question will answer how to encrypt/decrypt: Encrypt and decrypt a string in C#?

You didn't specify a database, but you will want to base-64 encode it, using Convert.toBase64String. For an example you can use: http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/Blog/blogentry=000361/BlogEntry.aspx

You'll then either save it in a varchar or a blob, depending on how long your encrypted message is, but for a password varchar should work.

The examples above will also cover decryption after decoding the base64.

UPDATE:

In actuality you may not need to use base64 encoding, but I found it helpful, in case I wanted to print it, or send it over the web. If the message is long enough it's best to compress it first, then encrypt, as it is harder to use brute-force when the message was already in a binary form, so it would be hard to tell when you successfully broke the encryption.

How to insert multiple rows from a single query using eloquent/fluent

It is really easy to do a bulk insert in Laravel using Eloquent or the query builder.

You can use the following approach.

$data = [
    ['user_id'=>'Coder 1', 'subject_id'=> 4096],
    ['user_id'=>'Coder 2', 'subject_id'=> 2048],
    //...
];

Model::insert($data); // Eloquent approach
DB::table('table')->insert($data); // Query Builder approach

In your case you already have the data within the $query variable.

How to get the real path of Java application at runtime?

It is better to save files into a sub-directory of user.home than wherever the app. might reside.

Sun went to considerable effort to ensure that applets and apps. launched using Java Web Start cannot determine the apps. real path. This change broke many apps. I would not be surprised if the changes are extended to other apps.

iOS download and save image inside app

Although it is true that the other answers here will work, they really aren't solutions that should ever be used in production code. (at least not without modification)

Problems

The problem with these answers is that if they are implemented as is and are not called from a background thread, they will block the main thread while downloading and saving the image. This is bad.

If the main thread is blocked, UI updates won't happen until the downloading/saving of the image is complete. As an example of what this means, say you add a UIActivityIndicatorView to your app to show the user that the download is still in progress (I will be using this as an example throughout this answer) with the following rough control flow:

  1. Object responsible for starting the download is loaded.
  2. Tell the activity indicator to start animating.
  3. Start the synchronous download process using +[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:]
  4. Save the data (image) that was just downloaded.
  5. Tell the activity indicator to stop animating.

Now, this might seem like reasonable control flow, but it is disguising a critical problem.

When you call the activity indicator's startAnimating method on the main (UI) thread, the UI updates for this event won't actually happen until the next time the main run loop updates, and this is where the first major problem is.

Before this update has a chance to happen, the download is triggered, and since this is a synchronous operation, it blocks the main thread until it has finished download (saving has the same problem). This will actually prevent the activity indicator from starting its animation. After that you call the activity indicator's stopAnimating method and expect all to be good, but it isn't.

At this point, you'll probably find yourself wondering the following.

Why doesn't my activity indicator ever show up?

Well, think about it like this. You tell the indicator to start but it doesn't get a chance before the download starts. After the download completes, you tell the indicator to stop animating. Since the main thread was blocked through the whole operation, the behavior you actually see is more along the lines telling the indicator to start and then immediately telling it to stop, even though there was a (possibly) large download task in between.

Now, in the best case scenario, all this does is cause a poor user experience (still really bad). Even if you think this isn't a big deal because you're only downloading a small image and the download happens almost instantaneously, that won't always be the case. Some of your users may have slow internet connections, or something may be wrong server side keeping the download from starting immediately/at all.

In both of these cases, the app won't be able to process UI updates, or even touch events while your download task sits around twiddling its thumbs waiting for the download to complete or for the server to respond to its request.

What this means is that synchronously downloading from the main thread prevents you from possibly implementing anything to indicate to the user that a download is currently in progress. And since touch events are processed on the main thread as well, this throws out the possibility of adding any kind of cancel button as well.

Then in the worst case scenario, you'll start receiving crash reports stating the following.

Exception Type: 00000020 Exception Codes: 0x8badf00d

These are easy to identify by the exception code 0x8badf00d, which can be read as "ate bad food". This exception is thrown by the watch dog timer, whose job is to watch for long running tasks that block the main thread, and to kill the offending app if this goes on for too long. Arguably, this is still a poor user experience issue, but if this starts to occur, the app has crossed the line between bad user experience, and terrible user experience.

Here's some more info on what can cause this to happen from Apple's Technical Q&A about synchronous networking (shortened for brevity).

The most common cause for watchdog timeout crashes in a network application is synchronous networking on the main thread. There are four contributing factors here:

  1. synchronous networking — This is where you make a network request and block waiting for the response.
  2. main thread — Synchronous networking is less than ideal in general, but it causes specific problems if you do it on the main thread. Remember that the main thread is responsible for running the user interface. If you block the main thread for any significant amount of time, the user interface becomes unacceptably unresponsive.
  3. long timeouts — If the network just goes away (for example, the user is on a train which goes into a tunnel), any pending network request won't fail until some timeout has expired....

...

  1. watchdog — In order to keep the user interface responsive, iOS includes a watchdog mechanism. If your application fails to respond to certain user interface events (launch, suspend, resume, terminate) in time, the watchdog will kill your application and generate a watchdog timeout crash report. The amount of time the watchdog gives you is not formally documented, but it's always less than a network timeout.

One tricky aspect of this problem is that it's highly dependent on the network environment. If you always test your application in your office, where network connectivity is good, you'll never see this type of crash. However, once you start deploying your application to end users—who will run it in all sorts of network environments—crashes like this will become common.

Now at this point, I'll stop rambling about why the provided answers might be problematic and will start offering up some alternative solutions. Keep in mind that I've used the URL of a small image in these examples and you'll notice a larger difference when using a higher resolution image.


Solutions

I'll start by showing a safe version of the other answers, with the addition of how to handle UI updates. This will be the first of several examples, all of which will assume that the class in which they are implemented has valid properties for a UIImageView, a UIActivityIndicatorView, as well as the documentsDirectoryURL method to access the documents directory. In production code, you may want to implement your own method to access the documents directory as a category on NSURL for better code reusability, but for these examples, this will be fine.

- (NSURL *)documentsDirectoryURL
{
    NSError *error = nil;
    NSURL *url = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory
                                                        inDomain:NSUserDomainMask
                                               appropriateForURL:nil
                                                          create:NO
                                                           error:&error];
    if (error) {
        // Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
    }
    
    return url;
}

These examples will also assume that the thread that they start off on is the main thread. This will likely be the default behavior unless you start your download task from somewhere like the callback block of some other asynchronous task. If you start your download in a typical place, like a lifecycle method of a view controller (i.e. viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear:, etc.) this will produce the expected behavior.

This first example will use the +[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:] method, but with some key differences. For one, you'll notice that in this example, the very first call we make is to tell the activity indicator to start animating, then there is an immediate difference between this and the synchronous examples. Immediately, we use dispatch_async(), passing in the global concurrent queue to move execution to the background thread.

At this point, you've already greatly improved your download task. Since everything within the dispatch_async() block will now happen off the main thread, your interface will no longer lock up, and your app will be free to respond to touch events.

What is important to notice here is that all of the code within this block will execute on the background thread, up until the point where the downloading/saving of the image was successful, at which point you might want to tell the activity indicator to stopAnimating, or apply the newly saved image to a UIImageView. Either way, these are updates to the UI, meaning you must dispatch back the the main thread using dispatch_get_main_queue() to perform them. Failing to do so results in undefined behavior, which may cause the UI to update after an unexpected period of time, or may even cause a crash. Always make sure you move back to the main thread before performing UI updates.

// Start the activity indicator before moving off the main thread
[self.activityIndicator startAnimating];
// Move off the main thread to start our blocking tasks.
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
    // Create the image URL from a known string.
    NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png"];
    
    NSError *downloadError = nil;
    // Create an NSData object from the contents of the given URL.
    NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageURL
                                              options:kNilOptions
                                                error:&downloadError];
    // ALWAYS utilize the error parameter!
    if (downloadError) {
        // Something went wrong downloading the image. Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
        // Don't forget to return to the main thread if you plan on doing UI updates here as well.
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
            NSLog(@"%@",[downloadError localizedDescription]);
        });
    } else {
        // Get the path of the application's documents directory.
        NSURL *documentsDirectoryURL = [self documentsDirectoryURL];
        // Append the desired file name to the documents directory path.
        NSURL *saveLocation = [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"GCD.png"];

        NSError *saveError = nil;
        BOOL writeWasSuccessful = [imageData writeToURL:saveLocation
                                                options:kNilOptions
                                                  error:&saveError];
        // Successful or not we need to stop the activity indicator, so switch back the the main thread.
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            // Now that we're back on the main thread, you can make changes to the UI.
            // This is where you might display the saved image in some image view, or
            // stop the activity indicator.
            
            // Check if saving the file was successful, once again, utilizing the error parameter.
            if (writeWasSuccessful) {
                // Get the saved image data from the file.
                NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:saveLocation];
                // Set the imageView's image to the image we just saved.
                self.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
            } else {
                NSLog(@"%@",[saveError localizedDescription]);
                // Something went wrong saving the file. Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
            }
            
            [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
        });
    }
});

Now keep in mind, that the method shown above is still not an ideal solution considering it can't be cancelled prematurely, it gives you no indication of the progress of the download, it can't handle any kind of authentication challenge, it can't be given a specific timeout interval, etc. (lots and lots of reasons). I'll cover a few of the better options below.

In these examples, I'll only be covering solutions for apps targeting iOS 7 and up considering (at time of writing) iOS 8 is the current major release, and Apple is suggesting only supporting versions N and N-1. If you need to support older iOS versions, I recommend looking into the NSURLConnection class, as well as the 1.0 version of AFNetworking. If you look at the revision history of this answer, you can find basic examples using NSURLConnection and ASIHTTPRequest, although it should be noted that ASIHTTPRequest is no longer being maintained, and should not be used for new projects.


NSURLSession

Lets start with NSURLSession, which was introduced in iOS 7, and greatly improves the ease with which networking can be done in iOS. With NSURLSession, you can easily perform asynchronous HTTP requests with a callback block and handle authentication challenges with its delegate. But what makes this class really special is that it also allows for download tasks to continue running even if the application is sent to the background, gets terminated, or even crashes. Here's a basic example of its usage.

// Start the activity indicator before starting the download task.
[self.activityIndicator startAnimating];

NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
// Use a session with a custom configuration
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:configuration];
// Create the image URL from some known string.
NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png"];
// Create the download task passing in the URL of the image.
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task = [session downloadTaskWithURL:imageURL completionHandler:^(NSURL *location, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
    // Get information about the response if neccessary.
    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"%@",[error localizedDescription]);
        // Something went wrong downloading the image. Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
        // Don't forget to return to the main thread if you plan on doing UI updates here as well.
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
        });
    } else {
        NSError *openDataError = nil;
        NSData *downloadedData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:location
                                                       options:kNilOptions
                                                         error:&openDataError];
        if (openDataError) {
            // Something went wrong opening the downloaded data. Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
            // Don't forget to return to the main thread if you plan on doing UI updates here as well.
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                NSLog(@"%@",[openDataError localizedDescription]);
                [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
            });
        } else {
            // Get the path of the application's documents directory.
            NSURL *documentsDirectoryURL = [self documentsDirectoryURL];
            // Append the desired file name to the documents directory path.
            NSURL *saveLocation = [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"NSURLSession.png"];
            NSError *saveError = nil;
            
            BOOL writeWasSuccessful = [downloadedData writeToURL:saveLocation
                                                          options:kNilOptions
                                                            error:&saveError];
            // Successful or not we need to stop the activity indicator, so switch back the the main thread.
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                // Now that we're back on the main thread, you can make changes to the UI.
                // This is where you might display the saved image in some image view, or
                // stop the activity indicator.
                
                // Check if saving the file was successful, once again, utilizing the error parameter.
                if (writeWasSuccessful) {
                    // Get the saved image data from the file.
                    NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:saveLocation];
                    // Set the imageView's image to the image we just saved.
                    self.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
                } else {
                    NSLog(@"%@",[saveError localizedDescription]);
                    // Something went wrong saving the file. Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
                }
                
                [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
            });
        }
    }
}];

// Tell the download task to resume (start).
[task resume];

From this you'll notice that the downloadTaskWithURL: completionHandler: method returns an instance of NSURLSessionDownloadTask, on which an instance method -[NSURLSessionTask resume] is called. This is the method that actually tells the download task to start. This means that you can spin up your download task, and if desired, hold off on starting it (if needed). This also means that as long as you store a reference to the task, you can also utilize its cancel and suspend methods to cancel or pause the task if need be.

What's really cool about NSURLSessionTasks is that with a little bit of KVO, you can monitor the values of its countOfBytesExpectedToReceive and countOfBytesReceived properties, feed these values to an NSByteCountFormatter, and easily create a download progress indicator to your user with human readable units (e.g. 42 KB of 100 KB).

Before I move away from NSURLSession though, I'd like to point out that the ugliness of having to dispatch_async back to the main threads at several different points in the download's callback block can be avoided. If you chose to go this route, you can initialize the session with its initializer that allows you to specify the delegate, as well as the delegate queue. This will require you to use the delegate pattern instead of the callback blocks, but this may be beneficial because it is the only way to support background downloads.

NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:configuration
                                                      delegate:self
                                                 delegateQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]];

AFNetworking 2.0

If you've never heard of AFNetworking, it is IMHO the end-all of networking libraries. It was created for Objective-C, but it works in Swift as well. In the words of its author:

AFNetworking is a delightful networking library for iOS and Mac OS X. It's built on top of the Foundation URL Loading System, extending the powerful high-level networking abstractions built into Cocoa. It has a modular architecture with well-designed, feature-rich APIs that are a joy to use.

AFNetworking 2.0 supports iOS 6 and up, but in this example, I will be using its AFHTTPSessionManager class, which requires iOS 7 and up due to its usage of all the new APIs around the NSURLSession class. This will become obvious when you read the example below, which shares a lot of code with the NSURLSession example above.

There are a few differences that I'd like to point out though. To start off, instead of creating your own NSURLSession, you'll create an instance of AFURLSessionManager, which will internally manage a NSURLSession. Doing so allows you take advantage of some of its convenience methods like -[AFURLSessionManager downloadTaskWithRequest:progress:destination:completionHandler:]. What is interesting about this method is that it lets you fairly concisely create a download task with a given destination file path, a completion block, and an input for an NSProgress pointer, on which you can observe information about the progress of the download. Here's an example.

// Use the default session configuration for the manager (background downloads must use the delegate APIs)
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
// Use AFNetworking's NSURLSessionManager to manage a NSURLSession.
AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];

// Create the image URL from some known string.
NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png"];
// Create a request object for the given URL.
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:imageURL];
// Create a pointer for a NSProgress object to be used to determining download progress.
NSProgress *progress = nil;

// Create the callback block responsible for determining the location to save the downloaded file to.
NSURL *(^destinationBlock)(NSURL *targetPath, NSURLResponse *response) = ^NSURL *(NSURL *targetPath, NSURLResponse *response) {
    // Get the path of the application's documents directory.
    NSURL *documentsDirectoryURL = [self documentsDirectoryURL];
    NSURL *saveLocation = nil;
    
    // Check if the response contains a suggested file name
    if (response.suggestedFilename) {
        // Append the suggested file name to the documents directory path.
        saveLocation = [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:response.suggestedFilename];
    } else {
        // Append the desired file name to the documents directory path.
        saveLocation = [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"AFNetworking.png"];
    }

    return saveLocation;
};

// Create the completion block that will be called when the image is done downloading/saving.
void (^completionBlock)(NSURLResponse *response, NSURL *filePath, NSError *error) = ^void (NSURLResponse *response, NSURL *filePath, NSError *error) {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        // There is no longer any reason to observe progress, the download has finished or cancelled.
        [progress removeObserver:self
                      forKeyPath:NSStringFromSelector(@selector(fractionCompleted))];
        
        if (error) {
            NSLog(@"%@",error.localizedDescription);
            // Something went wrong downloading or saving the file. Figure out what went wrong and handle the error.
        } else {
            // Get the data for the image we just saved.
            NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:filePath];
            // Get a UIImage object from the image data.
            self.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
        }
    });
};

// Create the download task for the image.
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task = [manager downloadTaskWithRequest:request
                                                         progress:&progress
                                                      destination:destinationBlock
                                                completionHandler:completionBlock];
// Start the download task.
[task resume];

// Begin observing changes to the download task's progress to display to the user.
[progress addObserver:self
           forKeyPath:NSStringFromSelector(@selector(fractionCompleted))
              options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew
              context:NULL];

Of course since we've added the class containing this code as an observer to one of the NSProgress instance's properties, you'll have to implement the -[NSObject observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context:] method. In this case, I've included an example of how you might update a progress label to display the download's progress. It's really easy. NSProgress has an instance method localizedDescription which will display progress information in a localized, human readable format.

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath
                      ofObject:(id)object
                        change:(NSDictionary *)change
                       context:(void *)context
{
    // We only care about updates to fractionCompleted
    if ([keyPath isEqualToString:NSStringFromSelector(@selector(fractionCompleted))]) {
        NSProgress *progress = (NSProgress *)object;
        // localizedDescription gives a string appropriate for display to the user, i.e. "42% completed"
        self.progressLabel.text = progress.localizedDescription;
    } else {
        [super observeValueForKeyPath:keyPath
                             ofObject:object
                               change:change
                              context:context];
    }
}

Don't forget, if you want to use AFNetworking in your project, you'll need to follow its installation instructions and be sure to #import <AFNetworking/AFNetworking.h>.

Alamofire

And finally, I'd like to give a final example using Alamofire. This is a the library that makes networking in Swift a cake-walk. I'm out of characters to go into great detail about the contents of this sample, but it does pretty much the same thing as the last examples, just in an arguably more beautiful way.

// Create the destination closure to pass to the download request. I haven't done anything with them
// here but you can utilize the parameters to make adjustments to the file name if neccessary.
let destination = { (url: NSURL!, response: NSHTTPURLResponse!) -> NSURL in
    var error: NSError?
    // Get the documents directory
    let documentsDirectory = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory,
        inDomain: .UserDomainMask,
        appropriateForURL: nil,
        create: false,
        error: &error
    )
    
    if let error = error {
        // This could be bad. Make sure you have a backup plan for where to save the image.
        println("\(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
    
    // Return a destination of .../Documents/Alamofire.png
    return documentsDirectory!.URLByAppendingPathComponent("Alamofire.png")
}

Alamofire.download(.GET, "http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png", destination)
    .validate(statusCode: 200..<299) // Require the HTTP status code to be in the Successful range.
    .validate(contentType: ["image/png"]) // Require the content type to be image/png.
    .progress { (bytesRead, totalBytesRead, totalBytesExpectedToRead) in
        // Create an NSProgress object to represent the progress of the download for the user.
        let progress = NSProgress(totalUnitCount: totalBytesExpectedToRead)
        progress.completedUnitCount = totalBytesRead
        
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
            // Move back to the main thread and update some progress label to show the user the download is in progress.
            self.progressLabel.text = progress.localizedDescription
        }
    }
    .response { (request, response, _, error) in
        if error != nil {
            // Something went wrong. Handle the error.
        } else {
            // Open the newly saved image data.
            if let imageData = NSData(contentsOfURL: destination(nil, nil)) {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                    // Move back to the main thread and add the image to your image view.
                    self.imageView.image = UIImage(data: imageData)
                }
            }
        }
    }

import { HttpClientModule, /* other http imports */ } from "@angular/common/http";

@NgModule({
    // ...other declarations, providers, entryComponents, etc.
    imports: [
        HttpClientModule,
        // ...some other imports
    ],
})
export class AppModule { }

How can I style an Android Switch?

You can customize material styles by setting different color properties. For example custom application theme

<style name="CustomAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimaryDisableOnly">#00838f</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">#e91e63</item>
</style>

Custom switch theme

<style name="MySwitch" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.Switch">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimaryDisableOnly">#b71c1c</item>
    <item name="android:colorControlActivated">#1b5e20</item>
    <item name="android:colorForeground">#f57f17</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat</item>
</style>

You can customize switch track and switch thumb like below image by defining xml drawables. For more information http://www.zoftino.com/android-switch-button-and-custom-switch-examples

How to make/get a multi size .ico file?

ImageMagick, the free and open source image manipulation toolkit, can easily do this:

Note: Since ImageMagick 7, the CLI has changed slightly, you need to add magick in front of any commands.

magick convert icon-16.png icon-32.png icon-64.png icon-128.png icon.ico

See also http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#favicon, that has the example:

magick convert image.png -bordercolor white -border 0 \
          \( -clone 0 -resize 16x16 \) \
          \( -clone 0 -resize 32x32 \) \
          \( -clone 0 -resize 48x48 \) \
          \( -clone 0 -resize 64x64 \) \
          -delete 0 -alpha off -colors 256 favicon.ico

There is also now the shorter:

magick convert image.png -define icon:auto-resize="256,128,96,64,48,32,16" favicon.ico

How can I stage and commit all files, including newly added files, using a single command?

Great answers, but if you look for a singe line do all, you can concatenate, alias and enjoy the convenience:

git add * && git commit -am "<commit message>"

It is a single line but two commands, and as mentioned you can alias these commands:

alias git-aac="git add * && git commit -am " (the space at the end is important) because you are going to parameterize the new short hand command.

From this moment on, you will be using this alias:

git-acc "<commit message>"

You basically say:

git, add for me all untracked files and commit them with this given commit message.

Hope you use Linux, hope this helps.

how to create a logfile in php?

create a logfile in php, to do it you need to pass data on function and it will create log file for you.

function wh_log($log_msg)
{
    $log_filename = "log";
    if (!file_exists($log_filename)) 
    {
        // create directory/folder uploads.
        mkdir($log_filename, 0777, true);
    }
    $log_file_data = $log_filename.'/log_' . date('d-M-Y') . '.log';
    // if you don't add `FILE_APPEND`, the file will be erased each time you add a log
    file_put_contents($log_file_data, $log_msg . "\n", FILE_APPEND);
} 
// call to function
wh_log("this is my log message");

jQuery if statement to check visibility

 $('#column-left form').hide();
 $('.show-search').click(function() {
    $('#column-left form').stop(true, true).slideToggle(300); //this will slide but not hide that's why
    $('#column-left form').hide(); 
    if(!($('#column-left form').is(":visible"))) {
        $("#offers").show();
    } else {
        $('#offers').hide();
    }
  });

Parse JSON with R

The jsonlite package is easy to use and tries to convert json into data frames.

Example:

library(jsonlite)

# url with some information about project in Andalussia
url <- 'http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/export/drupaljda/ayudas.json'

# read url and convert to data.frame
document <- fromJSON(txt=url)

Posting parameters to a url using the POST method without using a form

If you're trying to link to something, rather than do it from code you can redirect your request through: http://getaspost.appspot.com/

Create XML in Javascript

Simply use

var xmlString = '<?xml version="1.0" ?><root />';
var xml = jQuery.parseXML(xml);

It's jQuery.parseXML, so no need to worry about cross-browser tricks. Use jQuery as like HTML, it's using the native XML engine.

How to insert a text at the beginning of a file?

To insert just a newline:

sed '1i\\'

Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS5.1'

I had this problem even though I had a valid provisioning profile for the device. It turned out that I had changed my developer account password and needed to update the password in xcode. This is done by going to preferences-Accounts-Apple ID and entering the new password.

How to use log levels in java

This excerpt is from the following awesome post.

ERROR – something terribly wrong had happened, that must be investigated immediately. No system can tolerate items logged on this level. Example: NPE, database unavailable, mission critical use case cannot be continued.

WARN – the process might be continued, but take extra caution. Actually I always wanted to have two levels here: one for obvious problems where work-around exists (for example: “Current data unavailable, using cached values”) and second (name it: ATTENTION) for potential problems and suggestions. Example: “Application running in development mode” or “Administration console is not secured with a password”. The application can tolerate warning messages, but they should always be justified and examined.

INFO – Important business process has finished. In ideal world, administrator or advanced user should be able to understand INFO messages and quickly find out what the application is doing. For example if an application is all about booking airplane tickets, there should be only one INFO statement per each ticket saying “[Who] booked ticket from [Where] to [Where]“. Other definition of INFO message: each action that changes the state of the application significantly (database update, external system request).

DEBUG – Developers stuff. I will discuss later what sort of information deserves to be logged.

TRACE – Very detailed information, intended only for development. You might keep trace messages for a short period of time after deployment on production environment, but treat these log statements as temporary, that should or might be turned-off eventually. The distinction between DEBUG and TRACE is the most difficult, but if you put logging statement and remove it after the feature has been developed and tested, it should probably be on TRACE level.

PS: Read TRACE as VERBOSE

Oracle "Partition By" Keyword

the over partition keyword is as if we are partitioning the data by client_id creation a subset of each client id

select client_id, operation_date,
       row_number() count(*) over (partition by client_id order by client_id ) as operationctrbyclient
from client_operations e
order by e.client_id;

this query will return the number of operations done by the client_id

Reloading .env variables without restarting server (Laravel 5, shared hosting)

A short solution:

use Dotenv;

with(new Dotenv(app()->environmentPath(), app()->environmentFile()))->overload();
with(new LoadConfiguration())->bootstrap(app());

In my case I needed to re-establish database connection after altering .env programmatically, but it didn't work , If you get into this trouble try this

app('db')->purge($connection->getName()); 

after reloading .env , that's because Laravel App could have accessed the default connection before and the \Illuminate\Database\DatabaseManager needs to re-read config parameters.

unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.9

I had simillar issue with maven tests on x86 linux which i was using in terminal. I was logging in to linux by ssh. I started my java selenium tests by

mvn -DargLine="-Dbaseurl=http://http://127.0.0.1:8080/web/" install

Excepting my app, after running these tests I received error in logs:

unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally

I was running these tests as root user. Before this error i received that ChromeDriver is nor present. I moved forward with this by installing ChromeDriver binary and adding it to PATH. But then i had to install google-chrome browser - ChromeDriver alone isn't enough to run tests. So the mistake is problem maybe with screen buffer in terminal window, but You can install Xvfb which is virtual screen buffer. What is important, that you should run your tests not as root, because you may receive another Chrome Browser error. So no as root i run:

export DISPLAY=:99
Xvfb :99 -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x24 &

What is important here, that in my case the number related to DISPLAY ought to be same as Xvfb :NN parameter. 99 in that case. I had another problem because i ran Xvfb with another DISPLAY value and I wanted it to stop. In order to restart Xvfb:

ps -aux | grep Xvfb
kill -9 PID
sudo rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X99

So find a process PID with grep. Kill Xvfb process. And then there is lock in /tmp/.X11-unix/XNN , so delete this lock and you can start server again. If You run not as root, set simillar displays, install google-chrome then with maven you can start selenium tests. My tests went fine with these rules and operations.

How to group subarrays by a column value?

function groupeByPHP($array,$indexUnique,$assoGroup,$keepInOne){
$retour = array();
$id = $array[0][$indexUnique];
foreach ($keepInOne as $keep){
    $retour[$id][$keep] = $array[0][$keep];
}
foreach ($assoGroup as $cle=>$arrayKey){
    $arrayGrouped = array();
        foreach ($array as $data){
            if($data[$indexUnique] != $id){
                $id = $data[$indexUnique];
                foreach ($keepInOne as $keep){
                    $retour[$id][$keep] = $data[$keep];
                }
            }
            foreach ($arrayKey as $val){
                $arrayGrouped[$val] = $data[$val];
            }
            $retour[$id][$cle][] = $arrayGrouped;
            $retour[$id][$cle] = array_unique($retour[$id][$cle],SORT_REGULAR);
        }
}
return  $retour;
}

Try this function

groupeByPHP($yourArray,'id',array('desc'=>array('part_no','packaging_type')),array('id','shipping_no')) 

How can I print using JQuery

There is a jquery print area. I've been using it for some time now.

$(".printMe").click(function(){
   $("#outprint").printArea({ mode: 'popup', popClose: true });
});

Java SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match

I had similar problem. I was using Android's DefaultHttpClient. I have read that HttpsURLConnection can handle this kind of exception. So I created custom HostnameVerifier which uses the verifier from HttpsURLConnection. I also wrapped the implementation to custom HttpClient.

public class CustomHttpClient extends DefaultHttpClient {

public CustomHttpClient() {
    super();
    SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory();
    socketFactory.setHostnameVerifier(new CustomHostnameVerifier());
    Scheme scheme = (new Scheme("https", socketFactory, 443));
    getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(scheme);
}

Here is the CustomHostnameVerifier class:

public class CustomHostnameVerifier implements org.apache.http.conn.ssl.X509HostnameVerifier {

@Override
public boolean verify(String host, SSLSession session) {
    HostnameVerifier hv = HttpsURLConnection.getDefaultHostnameVerifier();
    return hv.verify(host, session);
}

@Override
public void verify(String host, SSLSocket ssl) throws IOException {
}

@Override
public void verify(String host, X509Certificate cert) throws SSLException {

}

@Override
public void verify(String host, String[] cns, String[] subjectAlts) throws SSLException {

}

}

Operator overloading in Java

In addition to all the people pointing out that + is overloaded for Strings, - is also overloaded for both floating point and integer operations, as are * and /.

[edit] % is also overloaded for floating point, which can be a bit of a surprise for those with a C or C++ background.

How to get current date in jquery?

Here is method top get current Day, Year or Month

new Date().getDate()          // Get the day as a number (1-31)
new Date().getDay()           // Get the weekday as a number (0-6)
new Date().getFullYear()      // Get the four digit year (yyyy)
new Date().getHours()         // Get the hour (0-23)
new Date().getMilliseconds()  // Get the milliseconds (0-999)
new Date().getMinutes()       // Get the minutes (0-59)
new Date().getMonth()         // Get the month (0-11)
new Date().getSeconds()       // Get the seconds (0-59)
new Date().getTime()          // Get the time (milliseconds since January 1, 1970)

Deserialize JSON to ArrayList<POJO> using Jackson

This variant looks more simple and elegant.

CollectionType typeReference =
    TypeFactory.defaultInstance().constructCollectionType(List.class, Dto.class);
List<Dto> resultDto = objectMapper.readValue(content, typeReference);

What is pluginManagement in Maven's pom.xml?

You use pluginManagement in a parent pom to configure it in case any child pom wants to use it, but not every child plugin wants to use it. An example can be that your super pom defines some options for the maven Javadoc plugin.

Not each child pom might want to use Javadoc, so you define those defaults in a pluginManagement section. The child pom that wants to use the Javadoc plugin, just defines a plugin section and will inherit the configuration from the pluginManagement definition in the parent pom.

grep for special characters in Unix

Tell grep to treat your input as fixed string using -F option.

grep -F '*^%Q&$*&^@$&*!^@$*&^&^*&^&' application.log

Option -n is required to get the line number,

grep -Fn '*^%Q&$*&^@$&*!^@$*&^&^*&^&' application.log

Auto margins don't center image in page

I remember someday that I spent a lot of time trying to center a div, using margin: 0 auto.

I had display: inline-block on it, when I removed it, the div centered correctly.

As Ross pointed out, it doesn't work on inline elements.

How to position background image in bottom right corner? (CSS)

Voilà:

body {
   background-color: #000; /*Default bg, similar to the background's base color*/
   background-image: url("bg.png");
   background-position: right bottom; /*Positioning*/
   background-repeat: no-repeat; /*Prevent showing multiple background images*/
}

The background properties can be combined together, in one background property. See also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/background-position

How many values can be represented with n bits?

29 = 512 values, because that's how many combinations of zeroes and ones you can have.


What those values represent however will depend on the system you are using. If it's an unsigned integer, you will have:

000000000 = 0 (min)
000000001 = 1
...
111111110 = 510
111111111 = 511 (max)

In two's complement, which is commonly used to represent integers in binary, you'll have:

000000000 = 0
000000001 = 1
...
011111110 = 254
011111111 = 255 (max)
100000000 = -256 (min) <- yay integer overflow
100000001 = -255
...
111111110 = -2
111111111 = -1

In general, with k bits you can represent 2k values. Their range will depend on the system you are using:

Unsigned: 0 to 2k-1
Signed: -2k-1 to 2k-1-1

IIS: Idle Timeout vs Recycle

I have inherited a desktop app that makes calls to a series of Web Services on IIS. The web services (also) have to be able to run timed processes, independently (without having the client on). Hence they all have timers. The web service timers were shutting down (memory leak?) so we set the Idle time out to 0 and timers stay on.

Find intersection of two nested lists?

For people just looking to find the intersection of two lists, the Asker provided two methods:

b1 = [1,2,3,4,5,9,11,15]
b2 = [4,5,6,7,8]
b3 = [val for val in b1 if val in b2]

and

def intersect(a, b):
     return list(set(a) & set(b))

print intersect(b1, b2)

But there is a hybrid method that is more efficient, because you only have to do one conversion between list/set, as opposed to three:

b1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
b2 = [3,4,5,6]
s2 = set(b2)
b3 = [val for val in b1 if val in s2]

This will run in O(n), whereas his original method involving list comprehension will run in O(n^2)

Java creating .jar file

Sine you've mentioned you're using Eclipse... Eclipse can create the JARs for you, so long as you've run each class that has a main once. Right-click the project and click Export, then select "Runnable JAR file" under the Java folder. Select the class name in the launch configuration, choose a place to save the jar, and make a decision how to handle libraries if necessary. Click finish, wipe hands on pants.

Numpy converting array from float to strings

If you have an array of numbers and you want an array of strings, you can write:

strings = ["%.2f" % number for number in numbers]

If your numbers are floats, the array would be an array with the same numbers as strings with two decimals.

>>> a = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> min_a, max_a = min(a), max(a)
>>> a_normalized = [float(x-min_a)/(max_a-min_a) for x in a]
>>> a_normalized
[0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0]
>>> a_strings = ["%.2f" % x for x in a_normalized]
>>> a_strings
['0.00', '0.25', '0.50', '0.75', '1.00']

Notice that it also works with numpy arrays:

>>> a = numpy.array([0.0, 0.25, 0.75, 1.0])
>>> print ["%.2f" % x for x in a]
['0.00', '0.25', '0.50', '0.75', '1.00']

A similar methodology can be used if you have a multi-dimensional array:

new_array = numpy.array(["%.2f" % x for x in old_array.reshape(old_array.size)])
new_array = new_array.reshape(old_array.shape)

Example:

>>> x = numpy.array([[0,0.1,0.2],[0.3,0.4,0.5],[0.6, 0.7, 0.8]])
>>> y = numpy.array(["%.2f" % w for w in x.reshape(x.size)])
>>> y = y.reshape(x.shape)
>>> print y
[['0.00' '0.10' '0.20']
 ['0.30' '0.40' '0.50']
 ['0.60' '0.70' '0.80']]

If you check the Matplotlib example for the function you are using, you will notice they use a similar methodology: build empty matrix and fill it with strings built with the interpolation method. The relevant part of the referenced code is:

colortuple = ('y', 'b')
colors = np.empty(X.shape, dtype=str)
for y in range(ylen):
    for x in range(xlen):
        colors[x, y] = colortuple[(x + y) % len(colortuple)]

surf = ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, rstride=1, cstride=1, facecolors=colors,
        linewidth=0, antialiased=False)

Error:com.android.tools.aapt2.Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error: check logs for details

In my case removing the pre-existing build folder and retrying solved the problem.

Easy way to concatenate two byte arrays

For two or multiple arrays, this simple and clean utility method can be used:

/**
 * Append the given byte arrays to one big array
 *
 * @param arrays The arrays to append
 * @return The complete array containing the appended data
 */
public static final byte[] append(final byte[]... arrays) {
    final ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    if (arrays != null) {
        for (final byte[] array : arrays) {
            if (array != null) {
                out.write(array, 0, array.length);
            }
        }
    }
    return out.toByteArray();
}

How do I convert number to string and pass it as argument to Execute Process Task?

Expression: "Total Count: " + (DT_WSTR, 5)@[User::Cnt]

(XML) The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed. Start location: 6:2

After insuring that the string "strOutput" has a correct XML structure, you can do this:

Matcher junkMatcher = (Pattern.compile("^([\\W]+)<")).matcher(strOutput);
strOutput = junkMatcher.replaceFirst("<");

What's the difference between unit tests and integration tests?

A unit test should have no dependencies on code outside the unit tested. You decide what the unit is by looking for the smallest testable part. Where there are dependencies they should be replaced by false objects. Mocks, stubs .. The tests execution thread starts and ends within the smallest testable unit.

When false objects are replaced by real objects and tests execution thread crosses into other testable units, you have an integration test

How do I escape a single quote in SQL Server?

If escaping your single quote with another single quote isn't working for you (like it didn't for one of my recent REPLACE() queries), you can use SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF before your query, then SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON after your query.

For example

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF;

UPDATE TABLE SET NAME = REPLACE(NAME, "'S", "S");

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
-- set OFF then ON again

pip install access denied on Windows

When all else fails, try quitting your IDE. I had many cases in which PyCharm was causing this. As soon as I quit PyCharm, I was able to finally install my packages from the command line. Alternatively, you can also install through PyCharm itself in Settings -> Project: xxx -> Project Interpreter -> +.

How to get first 5 characters from string

An alternative way to get only one character.

$str = 'abcdefghij';
echo $str{5};

I would particularly not use this, but for the purpose of education. We can use that to answer the question:

$newString = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
    $newString .= $str{$i};
}
echo $newString;

For anyone using that. Bear in mind curly brace syntax for accessing array elements and string offsets is deprecated from PHP 7.4

More information: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_curly_braces_array_access

String to date in Oracle with milliseconds

I don't think you can use fractional seconds with to_date or the DATE type in Oracle. I think you need to_timestamp which returns a TIMESTAMP type.

How to get the browser to navigate to URL in JavaScript

This works in all browsers:

window.location.href = '...';

If you wanted to change the page without it reflecting in the browser back history, you can do:

window.location.replace('...');

How to reliably open a file in the same directory as a Python script

On Python 3.4, the pathlib module was added, and the following code will reliably open a file in the same directory as the current script:

from pathlib import Path

p = Path(__file__).with_name('file.txt')
with p.open('r') as f:
    print(f.read())

You can also use parent.absolute() to get directory value as a string if needed:

p = Path(__file__)
dir_abs = p.parent.absolute()  # Will return the executable directory absolute path

MVC 4 client side validation not working

How can I make a weak protocol reference in 'pure' Swift (without @objc)

protocol must be subClass of AnyObject, class

example given below

    protocol NameOfProtocol: class {
   // member of protocol
    }
   class ClassName: UIViewController {
      weak var delegate: NameOfProtocol? 
    }

Fundamental difference between Hashing and Encryption algorithms

A hash function could be considered the same as baking a loaf of bread. You start out with inputs (flour, water, yeast, etc...) and after applying the hash function (mixing + baking), you end up with an output: a loaf of bread.

Going the other way is extraordinarily difficult - you can't really separate the bread back into flour, water, yeast - some of that was lost during the baking process, and you can never tell exactly how much water or flour or yeast was used for a particular loaf, because that information was destroyed by the hashing function (aka the oven).

Many different variants of inputs will theoretically produce identical loaves (e.g. 2 cups of water and 1 tsbp of yeast produce exactly the same loaf as 2.1 cups of water and 0.9tsbp of yeast), but given one of those loaves, you can't tell exactly what combo of inputs produced it.

Encryption, on the other hand, could be viewed as a safe deposit box. Whatever you put in there comes back out, as long as you possess the key with which it was locked up in the first place. It's a symmetric operation. Given a key and some input, you get a certain output. Given that output, and the same key, you'll get back the original input. It's a 1:1 mapping.

In android app Toolbar.setTitle method has no effect – application name is shown as title

                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
                app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">

            </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I have tried all the option and after all I just removed CollapsingToolbarLayout because of i do not need to use in that particular XML So My Final XML is like:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/confirm_order_mail_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/confirm_order_appbar_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/confirm_order_toolbar_layout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">

        </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Now you have to use setTitle() like above answer:

mActionBarToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.confirm_order_toolbar_layout);            
setSupportActionBar(mActionBarToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("My Title");

Now If you want to use CollapsingToolbarLayout and Toolbar together then you have to use setTitle() of CollapsingToolbarLayout

CollapsingToolbarLayout collapsingToolbarLayout = (CollapsingToolbarLayout) findViewById(R.id.confirm_order_mail_layout);
collapsingToolbarLayout.setTitle("My Title");

May it will helps you. Thank you.

How to concatenate two strings in SQL Server 2005

Try this:

DECLARE @COMBINED_STRINGS AS VARCHAR(50); -- Allocate just enough length for the two strings.

SET @COMBINED_STRINGS = 'rupesh''s' + 'malviya';
SELECT @COMBINED_STRINGS; -- Print your combined strings.

Or you can put your strings into variables. Such that:

DECLARE @COMBINED_STRINGS AS VARCHAR(50),
        @STRING1 AS VARCHAR(20),
        @STRING2 AS VARCHAR(20);

SET @STRING1 = 'rupesh''s';
SET @STRING2 = 'malviya';
SET @COMBINED_STRINGS = @STRING1 + @STRING2;

SELECT @COMBINED_STRINGS; 

Output:

rupesh'smalviya

Just add a space in your string as a separator.

Go test string contains substring

To compare, there are more options:

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
    "strings"
)

const (
    str    = "something"
    substr = "some"
)

// 1. Contains
res := strings.Contains(str, substr)
fmt.Println(res) // true

// 2. Index: check the index of the first instance of substr in str, or -1 if substr is not present
i := strings.Index(str, substr)
fmt.Println(i) // 0

// 3. Split by substr and check len of the slice, or length is 1 if substr is not present
ss := strings.Split(str, substr)
fmt.Println(len(ss)) // 2

// 4. Check number of non-overlapping instances of substr in str
c := strings.Count(str, substr)
fmt.Println(c) // 1

// 5. RegExp
matched, _ := regexp.MatchString(substr, str)
fmt.Println(matched) // true

// 6. Compiled RegExp
re = regexp.MustCompile(substr)
res = re.MatchString(str)
fmt.Println(res) // true

Benchmarks: Contains internally calls Index, so the speed is almost the same (btw Go 1.11.5 showed a bit bigger difference than on Go 1.14.3).

ng if with angular for string contains

Only the shortcut syntax worked for me *ngIf.

(I think it's the later versions that use this syntax if I'm not mistaken)

<div *ngIf="haystack.indexOf('needle') > -1">
</div>

or

<div *ngIf="haystack.includes('needle')">
</div>

How to run TypeScript files from command line?

We have following steps:

  1. First you need to install typescript

  5. Result will display on console

Working around MySQL error "Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction"

If you are using InnoDB or any row-level transactional RDBMS, then it is possible that any write transaction can cause a deadlock, even in perfectly normal situations. Larger tables, larger writes, and long transaction blocks will often increase the likelihood of deadlocks occurring. In your situation, it's probably a combination of these.

The only way to truly handle deadlocks is to write your code to expect them. This generally isn't very difficult if your database code is well written. Often you can just put a try/catch around the query execution logic and look for a deadlock when errors occur. If you catch one, the normal thing to do is just attempt to execute the failed query again.

I highly recommend you read this page in the MySQL manual. It has a list of things to do to help cope with deadlocks and reduce their frequency.

How to pass parameters in GET requests with jQuery

Use data option of ajax. You can send data object to server by data option in ajax and the type which defines how you are sending it (either POST or GET). The default type is GET method

Try this

$.ajax({
  url: "ajax.aspx",
  type: "get", //send it through get method
  data: { 
    ajaxid: 4, 
    UserID: UserID, 
    EmailAddress: EmailAddress
  },
  success: function(response) {
    //Do Something
  },
  error: function(xhr) {
    //Do Something to handle error
  }
});

And you can get the data by (if you are using PHP)

 $_GET['ajaxid'] //gives 4
 $_GET['UserID'] //gives you the sent userid

In aspx, I believe it is (might be wrong)

 Request.QueryString["ajaxid"].ToString(); 

How to import local packages in go?

Local package is a annoying problem in go.

For some projects in our company we decide not use sub packages at all.

  • $ glide install
  • $ go get
  • $ go install

All work.

For some projects we use sub packages, and import local packages with full path:

import "xxxx.gitlab.xx/xxgroup/xxproject/xxsubpackage

But if we fork this project, then the subpackages still refer the original one.

jQuery ID starts with

try:

$("td[id^=" + value + "]")

Add Bean Programmatically to Spring Web App Context

In Spring 3.0 you can make your bean implement BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor and add new beans via BeanDefinitionRegistry.

In previous versions of Spring you can do the same thing in BeanFactoryPostProcessor (though you need to cast BeanFactory to BeanDefinitionRegistry, which may fail).

How do I build JSON dynamically in javascript?

As myJSON is an object you can just set its properties, for example:

myJSON.list1 = ["1","2"];

If you dont know the name of the properties, you have to use the array access syntax:

myJSON['list'+listnum] = ["1","2"];

If you want to add an element to one of the properties, you can do;

myJSON.list1.push("3");

What's the purpose of git-mv?

git mv oldname newname

is just shorthand for:

mv oldname newname
git add newname
git rm oldname

i.e. it updates the index for both old and new paths automatically.

What is the most efficient way to concatenate N arrays?

The concat() method is used to join two or more arrays. It does not change the existing arrays, it only returns a copy of the joined arrays.

array1 = array1.concat(array2, array3, array4, ..., arrayN);

How do I change the figure size for a seaborn plot?

For my plot (a sns factorplot) the proposed answer didn't works fine.

Thus I use

plt.gcf().set_size_inches(11.7, 8.27)

Just after the plot with seaborn (so no need to pass an ax to seaborn or to change the rc settings).

How to get Top 5 records in SqLite?

TOP and square brackets are specific to Transact-SQL. In ANSI SQL one uses LIMIT and backticks (`).

select * from `Table_Name` LIMIT 5;

<> And Not In VB.NET

I'm a total noob, I came here to figure out VB's 'not equal to' syntax, so I figured I'd throw it in here in case someone else needed it:

<%If Not boolean_variable%>Do this if boolean_variable is false<%End If%>

Equivalent to AssemblyInfo in dotnet core/csproj

I do the following for my .NET Standard 2.0 projects.

Create a Directory.Build.props file (e.g. in the root of your repo) and move the properties to be shared from the .csproj file to this file.

MSBuild will pick it up automatically and apply them to the autogenerated AssemblyInfo.cs.

They also get applied to the nuget package when building one with dotnet pack or via the UI in Visual Studio 2017.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/customize-your-build

Example:

<Project>
    <PropertyGroup>
        <Company>Some company</Company>
        <Copyright>Copyright © 2020</Copyright>
        <AssemblyVersion>1.0.0.1</AssemblyVersion>
        <FileVersion>1.0.0.1</FileVersion>
        <Version>1.0.0.1</Version>
        <!-- ... -->
    </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

SQL Server Jobs with SSIS packages - Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B

Little late to the game but i found a way to fix this for me that i had not seen anywhere else. Select your connection from Connection Managers. On the right you should see properties. Check to see if there are any expressions there if not add one. In your package explorer add a variable called connection to sql or whatever. Set the variable as a string and set the value as your connection string and include the User Id and password. Back to the connection manager properties and expression. From the drop down select ConnectionString and set the second box as the name of your variable. It should look like this

enter image description here

I could not for the life of me find another solution but this worked!

How can I dynamically set the position of view in Android?

Use LayoutParams. If you are using a LinearLayout you have to import android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams, else import the proper version of LayoutParams for the layout you're using, or it will cause a ClassCastException, then:

LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams(int width, int height);
layoutParams.setMargins(int left, int top, int right, int bottom);
imageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

NB: Note that you can use also imageView.setLeft(int dim), BUT THIS WON'T set the position of the component, it will set only the position of the left border of the component, the rest will remain at the same position.

how to drop database in sqlite?

You can drop tables by issuing an SQL Command as you would normally. If you want to drop the whole database you'll have to delete the file. You can delete the file located under

data/data/com.your.app.name/database/[databasefilename]

you can do this from the eclipse view called "FileBrowser" out of the "Android" Category for example. Or directly on your emulator or phone.

"VT-x is not available" when I start my Virtual machine

VT-x can normally be disabled/enabled in your BIOS.

When your PC is just starting up you should press DEL (or something) to get to the BIOS settings. There you'll find an option to enable VT-technology (or something).

Callback to a Fragment from a DialogFragment

Updated:

I made a library based on my gist code that generates those casting for you by using @CallbackFragment and @Callback.

https://github.com/zeroarst/callbackfragment.

And the example give you the example that send a callback from a fragment to another fragment.

Old answer:

I made a BaseCallbackFragment and annotation @FragmentCallback. It currently extends Fragment, you can change it to DialogFragment and will work. It checks the implementations with the following order: getTargetFragment() > getParentFragment() > context (activity).

Then you just need to extend it and declare your interfaces in your fragment and give it the annotation, and the base fragment will do the rest. The annotation also has a parameter mandatory for you to determine whether you want to force the fragment to implement the callback.

public class EchoFragment extends BaseCallbackFragment {

    private FragmentInteractionListener mListener;

    @FragmentCallback
    public interface FragmentInteractionListener {
        void onEcho(EchoFragment fragment, String echo);
    }
}

The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing

Add "-static" to other linker options solves this problem. I was just having the same issue after I tested this on another system, but not on my own, so even if you haven't noticed this on your development system, you should check that you have this set if you're statically linking.

Another note, copying the DLL into the same folder as the executable is not a solution as it defeats the idea of statically linking.

Another option is to use the TDM version of MinGW which solves this problem.

Update edit: this may not solve the problem for everyone. Another reason I recently discovered for this is when you use a library compiled by someone else, in my case it was SFML which was improperly compiled and so required a DLL that did not exist as it was compiled with a different version of MinGW than what I use. I use a dwarf build, this used another one, so I didn't have the DLL anywhere and of course, I didn't want it as it was a static build. The solution may be to find another build of the library, or build it yourself.

Adding a new SQL column with a default value

Like this?

AddTransient, AddScoped and AddSingleton Services Differences

Which one to use

Transient

  • since they are created every time they will use more memory & Resources and can have the negative impact on performance
  • use this for the lightweight service with little or no state.

Scoped

  • better option when you want to maintain state within a request.

Singleton

  • memory leaks in these services will build up over time.
  • also memory efficient as they are created once reused everywhere.

Use Singletons where you need to maintain application wide state. Application configuration or parameters, Logging Service, caching of data is some of the examples where you can use singletons.

Injecting service with different lifetimes into another

  1. Never inject Scoped & Transient services into Singleton service. ( This effectively converts the transient or scoped service into the singleton.)
  2. Never inject Transient services into scoped service ( This converts the transient service into the scoped. )

Java FileOutputStream Create File if not exists

FileUtils from apache commons is a pretty good way to achieve this in a single line.

FileOutputStream s = FileUtils.openOutputStream(new File("/home/nikhil/somedir/file.txt"))

This will create parent folders if do not exist and create a file if not exists and throw a exception if file object is a directory or cannot be written to. This is equivalent to:

File file = new File("/home/nikhil/somedir/file.txt");
file.getParentFile().mkdirs(); // Will create parent directories if not exists
file.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream s = new FileOutputStream(file,false);

All the above operations will throw an exception if the current user is not permitted to do the operation.

inline if statement java, why is not working

This should be (condition)? True statement : False statement

Leave out the "if"

Git: Remove committed file after push

Reset the file in a correct state, commit, and push again.

If you're sure nobody else has fetched your changes yet, you can use --amend when committing, to modify your previous commit (i.e. rewrite history), and then push. I think you'll have to use the -f option when pushing, to force the push, though.

How can I Remove .DS_Store files from a Git repository?

No need to remove .DS_STORE locally

Just add it to .gitignore file

The .gitignore file is just a text file that tells Git which files or folders to ignore in a project.

Commands

  • nano .gitignore
  • Write .DS_Store Then click CTRL+X > y > Hit Return
  • git status To have a last look at your changes
  • git add .gitignore
  • git commit -m 'YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE'
  • git push origin master

How to kill MySQL connections

I would recommend checking the connections to show the maximum thread connection is

show variables like "max_connections";

sample

+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name   | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| max_connections | 13  |
+-----------------+-------+
1 row in set

Then increase it by example

set global max_connections = 500;

What is the best collation to use for MySQL with PHP?

Actually, you probably want to use utf8_unicode_ci or utf8_general_ci.

  • utf8_general_ci sorts by stripping away all accents and sorting as if it were ASCII
  • utf8_unicode_ci uses the Unicode sort order, so it sorts correctly in more languages

However, if you are only using this to store English text, these shouldn't differ.

make an ID in a mysql table auto_increment (after the fact)

I'm guessing that you don't need to re-increment the existing data so, why can't you just run a simple ALTER TABLE command to change the PK's attributes?

Something like:

ALTER TABLE `content` CHANGE `id` `id` SMALLINT( 5 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT 

I've tested this code on my own MySQL database and it works but I have not tried it with any meaningful number of records. Once you've altered the row then you need to reset the increment to a number guaranteed not to interfere with any other records.

ALTER TABLE `content` auto_increment = MAX(`id`) + 1

Again, untested but I believe it will work.

Normalizing a list of numbers in Python

How long is the list you're going to normalize?

def psum(it):
    "This function makes explicit how many calls to sum() are done."
    print "Another call!"
    return sum(it)

raw = [0.07,0.14,0.07]
print "How many calls to sum()?"
print [ r/psum(raw) for r in raw]

print "\nAnd now?"
s = psum(raw)
print [ r/s for r in raw]

# if one doesn't want auxiliary variables, it can be done inside
# a list comprehension, but in my opinion it's quite Baroque    
print "\nAnd now?"
print [ r/s  for s in [psum(raw)] for r in raw]

Output

# How many calls to sum()?
# Another call!
# Another call!
# Another call!
# [0.25, 0.5, 0.25]
# 
# And now?
# Another call!
# [0.25, 0.5, 0.25]
# 
# And now?
# Another call!
# [0.25, 0.5, 0.25]

Is there a wikipedia API just for retrieve content summary?

If you are just looking for the text which you can then split up but don't want to use the API take a look at en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elephant&action=raw

Delete all the records

For one table

truncate table [table name]

For all tables

How to hide a div element depending on Model value? MVC

Your code isn't working, because the hidden attibute is not supported in versions of IE before v11

If you need to support IE before version 11, add a CSS style to hide when the hidden attribute is present:

*[hidden] { display: none; }

Adding elements to a collection during iteration

I tired ListIterator but it didn't help my case, where you have to use the list while adding to it. Here's what works for me:

Use LinkedList.

LinkedList<String> l = new LinkedList<String>();
l.addLast("A");

while(!l.isEmpty()){
    String str = l.removeFirst();
    if(/* Condition for adding new element*/)
        l.addLast("<New Element>");
    else
        System.out.println(str);
}

This could give an exception or run into infinite loops. However, as you have mentioned

I'm pretty sure it won't in my case

checking corner cases in such code is your responsibility.

Insert results of a stored procedure into a temporary table

If you want to do it without first declaring the temporary table, you could try creating a user-defined function rather than a stored procedure and make that user-defined function return a table. Alternatively, if you want to use the stored procedure, try something like this:

CREATE TABLE #tmpBus
(
   COL1 INT,
   COL2 INT
)

INSERT INTO #tmpBus
Exec SpGetRecords 'Params'

How to upgrade docker-compose to latest version

The easiest way to have a permanent and sustainable solution for the Docker Compose installation and the way to upgrade it, is to just use the package manager pip with:

pip install docker-compose

I was searching for a good solution for the ugly "how to upgrade to the latest version number"-problem, which appeared after you´ve read the official docs - and just found it occasionally - just have a look at the docker-compose pip package - it should reflect (mostly) the current number of the latest released Docker Compose version.

A package manager is always the best solution if it comes to managing software installations! So you just abstract from handling the versions on your own.

java.sql.SQLException Parameter index out of range (1 > number of parameters, which is 0)

This is an issue with the jdbc Driver version. I had this issue when I was using mysql-connector-java-commercial-5.0.3-bin.jar but when I changed to a later driver version mysql-connector-java-5.1.22.jar, the issue was fixed.

Visual Studio 2013 License Product Key

I solved this, without having to completely reinstall Visual Studio 2013.

For those who may come across this in the future, the following steps worked for me:

  1. Run the ISO (or vs_professional.exe).
  2. If you get the error below, you need to update the Windows Registry to trick the installer into thinking you still have the base version. If you don't get this error, skip to step 3 "The product version that you are trying to set up is earlier than the version already installed on this computer."

    • Click the link for 'examine the log file' and look near the bottom of the log, for this line: Detected related bundle ... operation: Downgrade

    • open regedit.exe and do an Edit > Find... for that GUID. In my case it was {6dff50d0-3bc3-4a92-b724-bf6d6a99de4f}. This was found in:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{6dff50d0-3bc3-4a92-b724-bf6d6a99de4f}

    • Edit the BundleVersion value and change it to a lower version. I changed mine from 12.0.21005.13 to 12.0.21000.13: BundleVersion for Visual Studio lower the version for BundleVersion

    • Exit the registry

  3. Run the ISO (or vs_professional.exe) again. If it has a repair button like the image below, you can skip to step 4.

    Visual Studio Repair button

    • Otherwise you have to let the installer fix the registry. I did this by "installing" at least one feature, even though I think I already had all features (they were not detected). This took about 20 minutes.
  4. Run the ISO (or vs_professional.exe) again. This time repair should be visible.

  5. Click Repair and let it update your installation and apply its embedded license key. This took about 20 minutes.


Now when you run Visual Studio 2013, it should indicate that a license key was applied, under Help > Register Product:

License: Product key applied

Hope this helps somebody in the future!

Dynamic SQL - EXEC(@SQL) versus EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL(@SQL)

sp_executesql is more likely to promote query plan reuse. When using sp_executesql, parameters are explicitly identified in the calling signature. This excellent article descibes this process.

The oft cited reference for many aspects of dynamic sql is Erland Sommarskog's must read: "The Curse and Blessings of Dynamic SQL".

How to achieve pagination/table layout with Angular.js?

The best simple plug and play solution for pagination.

https://ciphertrick.com/2015/06/01/search-sort-and-pagination-ngrepeat-angularjs/#comment-1002

you would jus need to replace ng-repeat with custom directive.

<tr dir-paginate="user in userList|filter:search |itemsPerPage:7">
<td>{{user.name}}</td></tr>

Within the page u just need to add

<div align="center">
       <dir-pagination-controls
            max-size="100"
            direction-links="true"
            boundary-links="true" >
       </dir-pagination-controls>
</div>

In your index.html load

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

In your module just add dependencies

angular.module('userApp',['angularUtils.directives.dirPagination']);

and thats all needed for pagination.

How can I display an image from a file in Jupyter Notebook?

Courtesy of this page, I found this worked when the suggestions above didn't:

from cStringIO import StringIO
import IPython.display
import numpy as np
def showarray(a, fmt='png'):
    a = np.uint8(a)
    f = StringIO()
    PIL.Image.fromarray(a).save(f, fmt)
    IPython.display.display(IPython.display.Image(data=f.getvalue()))

Reverting single file in SVN to a particular revision

For a single file, you could do:

svn export -r <REV> svn://host/path/to/file/on/repos file.ext

You could do svn revert <file> but that will only restore the last working copy.

Convert True/False value read from file to boolean

You can do with json.

In [124]: import json

In [125]: json.loads('false')
Out[125]: False

In [126]: json.loads('true')
Out[126]: True

Sublime Text 2 keyboard shortcut to open file in specified browser (e.g. Chrome)

I have similar situation like you. I dont wannt sublime open editor for binary like jpg png files. Instead open system default application is more reasonable.

  1. create one Build. Just like the accepted answer. But it will both open default application and hex editor.
  2. Pulgin OpenDefaultApplication https://github.com/SublimeText/OpenDefaultApplication It will have context right click menu OpenInDefaultApplication. But It will both open default application and hex editor as well
  3. Pulgin: Non Text Files https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Non%20Text%20Files Add config in the user settting

    "binary_file_patterns": ["*.JPG","*.jpg", "*.jpeg", "*.png", "*.gif", "*.ttf", "*.tga", "*.dds", "*.ico", "*.eot", "*.pdf", "*.swf", "*.jar", "*.zip"],
    "prevent_bin_preview": true,
    "open_externally_patterns": [
       "*.JPG",
       "*.jpg",
       "*.jpeg",
       "*.JPEG",
       "*.png",
        "*.PGN",
       "*.gif",
        "*.GIF",
        "*.zip",
        "*.ZIP",
        "*.pdf",
        "*.PDF"
    ]
    

I choose the third way, it's quite sutiable for me. It will open jpg file in system default application and quickly close the edit mode automaically at the same time. As to the first two ways, you can set "preview_on_click": false, to stop openning automaticlly the hex editor compromisely.

How to handle AssertionError in Python and find out which line or statement it occurred on?

The traceback module and sys.exc_info are overkill for tracking down the source of an exception. That's all in the default traceback. So instead of calling exit(1) just re-raise:

try:
    assert "birthday cake" == "ice cream cake", "Should've asked for pie"
except AssertionError:
    print 'Houston, we have a problem.'
    raise

Which gives the following output that includes the offending statement and line number:

Houston, we have a problem.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/poop.py", line 2, in <module>
    assert "birthday cake" == "ice cream cake", "Should've asked for pie"
AssertionError: Should've asked for pie

Similarly the logging module makes it easy to log a traceback for any exception (including those which are caught and never re-raised):

import logging

try:
    assert False == True 
except AssertionError:
    logging.error("Nothing is real but I can't quit...", exc_info=True)

The maximum value for an int type in Go

The max values are defined in the math package so in your case: math.MaxUint32

Watch out as there is no overflow - incrementing past max causes wraparound.

How to create windows service from java jar?

With procrun you need to copy prunsrv to the application directory (download), and create an install.bat like this:

set PR_PATH=%CD%
SET PR_SERVICE_NAME=MyService
SET PR_JAR=MyService.jar
SET START_CLASS=org.my.Main
SET START_METHOD=main
SET STOP_CLASS=java.lang.System
SET STOP_METHOD=exit
rem ; separated values
SET STOP_PARAMS=0
rem ; separated values
SET JVM_OPTIONS=-Dapp.home=%PR_PATH%
prunsrv.exe //IS//%PR_SERVICE_NAME% --Install="%PR_PATH%\prunsrv.exe" --Jvm=auto --Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm --StartClass=%START_CLASS% --StartMethod=%START_METHOD% --StopMode=jvm --StopClass=%STOP_CLASS% --StopMethod=%STOP_METHOD% ++StopParams=%STOP_PARAMS% --Classpath="%PR_PATH%\%PR_JAR%" --DisplayName="%PR_SERVICE_NAME%" ++JvmOptions=%JVM_OPTIONS%

I presume to

  • run this from the same directory where the jar and prunsrv.exe is
  • the jar has its working MANIFEST.MF
  • and you have shutdown hooks registered into JVM (for example with context.registerShutdownHook() in Spring)...
  • not using relative paths for files outside the jar (for example log4j should be used with log4j.appender.X.File=${app.home}/logs/my.log or something alike)

Check the procrun manual and this tutorial for more information.

How can I take an UIImage and give it a black border?

This function will return you image with black border try this.. hope this will help you

- (UIImage *)addBorderToImage:(UIImage *)image frameImage:(UIImage *)blackBorderImage
{
    CGSize size = CGSizeMake(image.size.width,image.size.height);
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);

    CGPoint thumbPoint = CGPointMake(0,0);

    [image drawAtPoint:thumbPoint];


    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
    CGImageRef imgRef = blackBorderImage.CGImage;
    CGContextDrawImage(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width,size.height), imgRef);
    UIImage *imageCopy = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

Selecting non-blank cells in Excel with VBA

If you are looking for the last row of a column, use:

Sub SelectFirstColumn()
   SelectEntireColumn (1)
End Sub

Sub SelectSecondColumn()
    SelectEntireColumn (2)
End Sub

Sub SelectEntireColumn(columnNumber)
    Dim LastRow
    Sheets("sheet1").Select
    LastRow = ActiveSheet.Columns(columnNumber).SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row

    ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, columnNumber), Cells(LastRow, columnNumber)).Select
End Sub

Other commands you will need to get familiar with are copy and paste commands:

Sub CopyOneToTwo()
    SelectEntireColumn (1)
    Selection.Copy

    Sheets("sheet1").Select
    ActiveSheet.Range("B1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End Sub

Finally, you can reference worksheets in other workbooks by using the following syntax:

Dim book2
Set book2 = Workbooks.Open("C:\book2.xls")
book2.Worksheets("sheet1")

How do you automatically set the focus to a textbox when a web page loads?

In HTML there's an autofocus attribute to all form fields. There's a good tutorial on it in Dive Into HTML 5. Unfortunately it's currently not supported by IE versions less than 10.

To use the HTML 5 attribute and fall back to a JS option:

<input id="my-input" autofocus="autofocus" />
<script>
  if (!("autofocus" in document.createElement("input"))) {
    document.getElementById("my-input").focus();
  }
</script>

No jQuery, onload or event handlers are required, because the JS is below the HTML element.

Edit: another advantage is that it works with JavaScript off in some browsers and you can remove the JavaScript when you don't want to support older browsers.

Edit 2: Firefox 4 now supports the autofocus attribute, just leaving IE without support.

What are Bearer Tokens and token_type in OAuth 2?

token_type is a parameter in Access Token generate call to Authorization server, which essentially represents how an access_token will be generated and presented for resource access calls. You provide token_type in the access token generation call to an authorization server.

If you choose Bearer (default on most implementation), an access_token is generated and sent back to you. Bearer can be simply understood as "give access to the bearer of this token." One valid token and no question asked. On the other hand, if you choose Mac and sign_type (default hmac-sha-1 on most implementation), the access token is generated and kept as secret in Key Manager as an attribute, and an encrypted secret is sent back as access_token.

Yes, you can use your own implementation of token_type, but that might not make much sense as developers will need to follow your process rather than standard implementations of OAuth.

Giving my function access to outside variable

Two Answers

1. Answer to the asked question.

2. A simple change equals a better way!

Answer 1 - Pass the Vars Array to the __construct() in a class, you could also leave the construct empty and pass the Arrays through your functions instead.

<?php

// Create an Array with all needed Sub Arrays Example: 
// Example Sub Array 1
$content_arrays["modals"]= array();
// Example Sub Array 2
$content_arrays["js_custom"] = array();

// Create a Class
class Array_Pushing_Example_1 {

    // Public to access outside of class
    public $content_arrays;

    // Needed in the class only
    private $push_value_1;
    private $push_value_2;
    private $push_value_3;
    private $push_value_4;  
    private $values;
    private $external_values;

    // Primary Contents Array as Parameter in __construct
    public function __construct($content_arrays){

        // Declare it
        $this->content_arrays = $content_arrays;

    }

    // Push Values from in the Array using Public Function
    public function array_push_1(){

        // Values
        $this->push_values_1 = array(1,"2B or not 2B",3,"42",5);
        $this->push_values_2 = array("a","b","c");

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_1 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["js_custom"][] = $this->values;

        }

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_2 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["modals"][] = $this->values;

        }

    // Return Primary Array with New Values
    return $this->content_arrays;

    }

    // GET Push Values External to the Class with Public Function
    public function array_push_2($external_values){

        $this->push_values_3 = $external_values["values_1"];
        $this->push_values_4 = $external_values["values_2"];

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_3 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["js_custom"][] = $this->values;

        }

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_4 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["modals"][] = $this->values;

        }

    // Return Primary Array with New Values
    return $this->content_arrays;

    }

}

// Start the Class with the Contents Array as a Parameter
$content_arrays = new Array_Pushing_Example_1($content_arrays);

// Push Internal Values to the Arrays
$content_arrays->content_arrays = $content_arrays->array_push_1();

// Push External Values to the Arrays
$external_values = array();
$external_values["values_1"] = array("car","house","bike","glass");
$external_values["values_2"] = array("FOO","foo");
$content_arrays->content_arrays = $content_arrays->array_push_2($external_values);

// The Output
echo "Array Custom Content Results 1";
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";

echo "Modals - Count: ".count($content_arrays->content_arrays["modals"]);
echo "<br>";
echo "-------------------";
echo "<br>";

// Get Modals Array Results
foreach($content_arrays->content_arrays["modals"] as $modals){

    echo $modals;
    echo "<br>";

}

echo "<br>";
echo "JS Custom - Count: ".count($content_arrays->content_arrays["js_custom"]);
echo "<br>";
echo "-------------------";
echo "<br>";

// Get JS Custom Array Results
foreach($content_arrays->content_arrays["js_custom"] as $js_custom){

    echo $js_custom;
    echo "<br>";


}

echo "<br>";

?>

Answer 2 - A simple change however would put it inline with modern standards. Just declare your Arrays in the Class.

<?php

// Create a Class
class Array_Pushing_Example_2 {

    // Public to access outside of class
    public $content_arrays;

    // Needed in the class only
    private $push_value_1;
    private $push_value_2;
    private $push_value_3;
    private $push_value_4;  
    private $values;
    private $external_values;

    // Declare Contents Array and Sub Arrays in __construct
    public function __construct(){

        // Declare them
        $this->content_arrays["modals"] = array();
        $this->content_arrays["js_custom"] = array();

    }

    // Push Values from in the Array using Public Function
    public function array_push_1(){

        // Values
        $this->push_values_1 = array(1,"2B or not 2B",3,"42",5);
        $this->push_values_2 = array("a","b","c");

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_1 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["js_custom"][] = $this->values;

        }

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_2 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["modals"][] = $this->values;

        }

    // Return Primary Array with New Values
    return $this->content_arrays;

    }

    // GET Push Values External to the Class with Public Function
    public function array_push_2($external_values){

        $this->push_values_3 = $external_values["values_1"];
        $this->push_values_4 = $external_values["values_2"];

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_3 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["js_custom"][] = $this->values;

        }

        // Loop Values and Push Values to Sub Array
        foreach($this->push_values_4 as $this->values){

            $this->content_arrays["modals"][] = $this->values;

        }

    // Return Primary Array with New Values
    return $this->content_arrays;

    }

Both options output the same information and allow a function to push and retrieve information from an Array and sub Arrays to any place in the code(Given that the data has been pushed first). The second option gives more control over how the data is used and protected. They can be used as is just modify to your needs but if they were used to extend a Controller they could share their values among any of the Classes the Controller is using. Neither method requires the use of a Global(s).

python: How do I know what type of exception occurred?

These answers are fine for debugging, but for programmatically testing the exception, isinstance(e, SomeException) can be handy, as it tests for subclasses of SomeException too, so you can create functionality that applies to hierarchies of exceptions.

How to make GREP select only numeric values?

No need to used grep here, Try this:

df . -B MB | tail -1 | awk {'print substr($5, 1, length($5)-1)'}
