Can clearInterval() be called inside setInterval()?

Yes you can. You can even test it:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var i = 0;_x000D_
var timer = setInterval(function() {_x000D_
  console.log(++i);_x000D_
  if (i === 5) clearInterval(timer);_x000D_
  console.log('post-interval'); //this will still run after clearing_x000D_
}, 200);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In this example, this timer clears when i reaches 5.

Multiple Cursors in Sublime Text 2 Windows

In Sublime Text, after you select multiple regions of text, a click is considered a way to exit the multi-select mode. Move the cursor with the keyboard keys (arrows, Ctrl+arrows, etc.) instead, and you'll be fine

Cannot get Kerberos service ticket: KrbException: Server not found in Kerberos database (7)

sqlcmd works, System.Data.SqlClient not working - Server not found in Kerberos database. You should add RestrictedKrbHost SPN

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-kile/445e4499-7e49-4f2a-8d82-aaf2d1ee3c47

5.1.2 SPNs with Serviceclass Equal to "RestrictedKrbHost"

Supporting the "RestrictedKrbHost" service class allows client applications to use Kerberos authentication when they do not have the identity of the service but have the server name. This does not provide client-to-service mutual authentication, but rather client-to-server computer authentication. Services of different privilege levels have the same session key and could decrypt each other's data if the underlying service does not ensure that data cannot be accessed by higher services.

When should I use double or single quotes in JavaScript?

As stated by other replies, they are almost the same. But I will try to add more.

  1. Some efficient algorithms use character arrays to process strings. Those algorithms (browser compiler, etc.) would see " (#34) first before ' (#39) therefore saving several CPU cycles depending on your data structure.
  2. " is escaped by anti-XSS engines

"The system cannot find the file C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe"

I had also similar problem where by I had to un-install JDK 1.8 and needed jdk 1.7. What i did was removed the symbolic links from the javapath and then imported the shortcuts of java, javaw, javaws from the bin directory to the javapath folder. However, I found some permission issues in the enterprise laptop where by I did not have the privilege to modify/ update this directory. I had given appropriate permission from the administrator and there by resolved it.

Functional, Declarative, and Imperative Programming

I think that your taxonomy is incorrect. There are two opposite types imperative and declarative. Functional is just a subtype of declarative. BTW, wikipedia states the same fact.

What is special about /dev/tty?

The 'c' means it's a character device. tty is a special file representing the 'controlling terminal' for the current process.

Character Devices

Unix supports 'device files', which aren't really files at all, but file-like access points to hardware devices. A 'character' device is one which is interfaced byte-by-byte (as opposed to buffered IO).

TTY

/dev/tty is a special file, representing the terminal for the current process. So, when you echo 1 > /dev/tty, your message ('1') will appear on your screen. Likewise, when you cat /dev/tty, your subsequent input gets duplicated (until you press Ctrl-C).

/dev/tty doesn't 'contain' anything as such, but you can read from it and write to it (for what it's worth). I can't think of a good use for it, but there are similar files which are very useful for simple IO operations (e.g. /dev/ttyS0 is normally your serial port)

This quote is from http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.3 :

/dev/tty stands for the controlling terminal (if any) for the current process. To find out which tty's are attached to which processes use the "ps -a" command at the shell prompt (command line). Look at the "tty" column. For the shell process you're in, /dev/tty is the terminal you are now using. Type "tty" at the shell prompt to see what it is (see manual pg. tty(1)). /dev/tty is something like a link to the actually terminal device name with some additional features for C-programmers: see the manual page tty(4).

Here is the man page: http://linux.die.net/man/4/tty

Select last row in MySQL

If you want the most recently added one, add a timestamp and select ordered in reverse order by highest timestamp, limit 1. If you want to go by ID, sort by ID. If you want to use the one you JUST added, use mysql_insert_id.

Is there a date format to display the day of the week in java?

Yep - 'E' does the trick

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Date date = new Date();
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-E");
System.out.println(df.format(date));

Javascript negative number

In ES6 you can use Math.sign function to determine if,

1. its +ve no
2. its -ve no
3. its zero (0)
4. its NaN


console.log(Math.sign(1))        // prints 1 
console.log(Math.sign(-1))       // prints -1
console.log(Math.sign(0))        // prints 0
console.log(Math.sign("abcd"))   // prints NaN

How to show DatePickerDialog on Button click?

    final Calendar newCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    final DatePickerDialog  StartTime = new DatePickerDialog(this, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
                public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
                    Calendar newDate = Calendar.getInstance();
                    newDate.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
                    activitydate.setText(dateFormatter.format(newDate.getTime()));
                }
    
            }, newCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), newCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), newCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    
      btn_checkin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override   public void onClick(View v) {
         StartTime.show():    
     });

How to trigger SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2?

They are user-defined signals, so they aren't triggered by any particular action. You can explicitly send them programmatically:

#include <signal.h>

kill(pid, SIGUSR1);

where pid is the process id of the receiving process. At the receiving end, you can register a signal handler for them:

#include <signal.h>

void my_handler(int signum)
{
    if (signum == SIGUSR1)
    {
        printf("Received SIGUSR1!\n");
    }
}

signal(SIGUSR1, my_handler);

.NET code to send ZPL to Zebra printers

How to set focus on an input field after rendering?

Simple solution without autofocus:

<input ref={ref => ref && ref.focus()}
    onFocus={(e)=>e.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(e.currentTarget.value.length, e.currentTarget.value.length)}
    />

ref triggers focus, and that triggers onFocus to calculate the end and set the cursor accordingly.

Where is SQL Server Management Studio 2012?

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

How to select the first element with a specific attribute using XPath

As an explanation to Jonathan Fingland's answer:

  • multiple conditions in the same predicate ([position()=1 and @location='US']) must be true as a whole
  • multiple conditions in consecutive predicates ([position()=1][@location='US']) must be true one after another
  • this implies that [position()=1][@location='US'] != [@location='US'][position()=1]
    while [position()=1 and @location='US'] == [@location='US' and position()=1]
  • hint: a lone [position()=1] can be abbreviated to [1]

You can build complex expressions in predicates with the Boolean operators "and" and "or", and with the Boolean XPath functions not(), true() and false(). Plus you can wrap sub-expressions in parentheses.

Visual Studio Code: How to show line endings

AFAIK there is no way to visually see line endings in the editor space, but in the bottom-right corner of the window there is an indicator that says "CLRF" or "LF" which will let you set the line endings for a particular file. Clicking on the text will allow you to change the line endings as well.

How to pass a value from Vue data to href?

If you want to display links coming from your state or store in Vue 2.0, you can do like this:

<a v-bind:href="''"> {{ url_link }} </a>

When should we implement Serializable interface?

  1. From What's this "serialization" thing all about?:

    It lets you take an object or group of objects, put them on a disk or send them through a wire or wireless transport mechanism, then later, perhaps on another computer, reverse the process: resurrect the original object(s). The basic mechanisms are to flatten object(s) into a one-dimensional stream of bits, and to turn that stream of bits back into the original object(s).

    Like the Transporter on Star Trek, it's all about taking something complicated and turning it into a flat sequence of 1s and 0s, then taking that sequence of 1s and 0s (possibly at another place, possibly at another time) and reconstructing the original complicated "something."

    So, implement the Serializable interface when you need to store a copy of the object, send them to another process which runs on the same system or over the network.

  2. Because you want to store or send an object.

  3. It makes storing and sending objects easy. It has nothing to do with security.

PHP form - on submit stay on same page

You can see the following example for the Form action on the same page

<form action="" method="post">
<table border="1px">
    <tr><td>Name: <input type="text" name="user_name" ></td></tr>
    <tr><td align="right"> <input type="submit" value="submit" name="btn"> 
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>

<?php
  if(isset($_POST['btn'])){
     $name=$_POST['user_name'];
     echo 'Welcome '. $name; 
   }
 ?>

How to find and replace all occurrences of a string recursively in a directory tree?

The command below will search all the files recursively whose name matches the search pattern and will replace the string:

find /path/to/searchdir/ -name "serachpatter" -type f | xargs sed -i 's/stringone/StrIngTwo/g'

Also if you want to limit the depth of recursion you can put the limits as well:

find /path/to/searchdir/ -name "serachpatter" -type f -maxdepth 4 -mindepth 2 | xargs sed -i 's/stringone/StrIngTwo/g'

Programmatically register a broadcast receiver

It is best practice to always supply the permission when registering the receiver, otherwise you will receive for any application that sends a matching intent. This can allow malicious apps to broadcast to your receiver.

How do I toggle an element's class in pure JavaScript?

Take a look at this example: JS Fiddle

function toggleClass(element, className){
    if (!element || !className){
        return;
    }

    var classString = element.className, nameIndex = classString.indexOf(className);
    if (nameIndex == -1) {
        classString += ' ' + className;
    }
    else {
        classString = classString.substr(0, nameIndex) + classString.substr(nameIndex+className.length);
    }
    element.className = classString;
}

Change Color of Fonts in DIV (CSS)

Your first CSS selector—social.h2—is looking for the "social" element in the "h2", class, e.g.:

<social class="h2">

Class selectors are proceeded with a dot (.). Also, use a space () to indicate that one element is inside of another. To find an <h2> descendant of an element in the social class, try something like:

.social h2 {
  color: pink;
  font-size: 14px;
}

To get a better understanding of CSS selectors and how they are used to reference your HTML, I suggest going through the interactive HTML and CSS tutorials from CodeAcademy. I hope that this helps point you in the right direction.

Dealing with float precision in Javascript

Tackling this task, I'd first find the number of decimal places in x, then round y accordingly. I'd use:

y.toFixed(x.toString().split(".")[1].length);

It should convert x to a string, split it over the decimal point, find the length of the right part, and then y.toFixed(length) should round y based on that length.

plt.hist(hmag, 30, range=[6.5, 12.5], facecolor='gray', align='mid')

Visibility of global variables in imported modules

As a workaround, you could consider setting environment variables in the outer layer, like this.

main.py:

import os
os.environ['MYVAL'] = str(myintvariable)

mymodule.py:

import os

myval = None
if 'MYVAL' in os.environ:
    myval = os.environ['MYVAL']

As an extra precaution, handle the case when MYVAL is not defined inside the module.

How do I add a new sourceset to Gradle?

If you're using

To get IntelliJ to recognize custom sourceset as test sources root:

plugin {
    idea
}

idea {
    module {
        testSourceDirs = testSourceDirs + sourceSets["intTest"].allJava.srcDirs
        testResourceDirs = testResourceDirs + sourceSets["intTest"].resources.srcDirs
    }
}

Change bar plot colour in geom_bar with ggplot2 in r

If you want all the bars to get the same color (fill), you can easily add it inside geom_bar.

ggplot(data=df, aes(x=c1+c2/2, y=c3)) + 
geom_bar(stat="identity", width=c2, fill = "#FF6666")

enter image description here

Add fill = the_name_of_your_var inside aes to change the colors depending of the variable :

c4 = c("A", "B", "C")
df = cbind(df, c4)
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=c1+c2/2, y=c3, fill = c4)) + 
geom_bar(stat="identity", width=c2)

enter image description here

Use scale_fill_manual() if you want to manually the change of colors.

ggplot(data=df, aes(x=c1+c2/2, y=c3, fill = c4)) + 
geom_bar(stat="identity", width=c2) + 
scale_fill_manual("legend", values = c("A" = "black", "B" = "orange", "C" = "blue"))

How to write a test which expects an Error to be thrown in Jasmine?

A more elegant solution than creating an anonymous function who's sole purpose is to wrap another, is to use es5's bind function. The bind function creates a new function that, when called, has its this keyword set to the provided value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any provided when the new function is called.

Instead of:

expect(function () { parser.parse(raw, config); } ).toThrow("Parsing is not possible");

Consider:

expect(parser.parse.bind(parser, raw, config)).toThrow("Parsing is not possible");

The bind syntax allows you to test functions with different this values, and in my opinion makes the test more readable. See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13233194/1248889

How to list all tags along with the full message in git?

How can I return to a parent activity correctly?

A better way to achieve this is by using two things: call:

NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);

Now, in order for this to work, you need to have your manifest file state that activity A has a parent activity B. The parent activity doesn't need anything. In version 4 and above you will get a nice back arrow with no additional effort (this can be done on lower versions as well with a little code, I'll put it below) You can set this data in the manifest->application tab in the GUI (scroll down to the parent activity name, and put it by hand)

Support node:

if you wish to support version below version 4, you need to include metadata as well. right click on the activity, add->meta data, name =android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY and value = your.full.activity.name

to get the nice arrow in lower versions as well:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

please note you will need support library version 7 to get this all working, but it is well worth it!

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

The following steps are to reset the password for a user in case you forgot, this would also solve your mentioned error.

First, stop your MySQL:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

Now start up MySQL in safe mode and skip the privileges table:

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

Login with root:

mysql -uroot

And assign the DB that needs to be used:

use mysql;

Now all you have to do is reset your root password of the MySQL user and restart the MySQL service:

update user set password=PASSWORD("YOURPASSWORDHERE") where User='root';

flush privileges;

quit and restart MySQL:

quit

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start Now your root password should be working with the one you just set, check it with:

mysql -u root -p

Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found

IF a cell contains a string

SEARCH does not return 0 if there is no match, it returns #VALUE!. So you have to wrap calls to SEARCH with IFERROR.

For example...

=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("cat", A1), 0), "cat", "none")

or

=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("cat",A1),0),"cat",IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("22",A1),0),"22","none"))

Here, IFERROR returns the value from SEARCH when it works; the given value of 0 otherwise.

How to delay the .keyup() handler until the user stops typing?

This function extends the function from Gaten's answer a bit in order to get the element back:

$.fn.delayKeyup = function(callback, ms){
    var timer = 0;
    var el = $(this);
    $(this).keyup(function(){                   
    clearTimeout (timer);
    timer = setTimeout(function(){
        callback(el)
        }, ms);
    });
    return $(this);
};

$('#input').delayKeyup(function(el){
    //alert(el.val());
    // Here I need the input element (value for ajax call) for further process
},1000);

Set initial value in datepicker with jquery?

I'm not entirely sure if I understood your question, but it seems that you're trying to set value for an input type Date.

If you want to set a value for an input type 'Date', then it has to be formatted as "yyyy-MM-dd" (Note: capital MM for Month, lower case mm for minutes). Otherwise, it will clear the value and leave the datepicker empty.

Let's say you have a button called "DateChanger" and you want to set your datepicker to "22 Dec 2012" when you click it.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#DateChanger').click(function() {
             $('#dtFrom').val("2012-12-22");
        });
    });
</script>
<input type="date" id="dtFrom" name="dtFrom" />
<button id="DateChanger">Click</button>

Remember to include JQuery reference.

SSRS Query execution failed for dataset

Using SSRS, Report Builder 3.0, MSSQL 2008 and query to an Oracle 11G database, I found that the oracle stored procedure ran well, produced consistent results with no errors. When I tried bringing the data into SSRS, I got the error as listed in OP's query. I found that the data loaded and displayed only if I removed the parameters (not a good idea). On Further examination, I found that under dataset properties>parameters I had set the start date to parameterName P_Start and parameter Value to @P_Start.

Adding the Parameter value as [@P_Start] cleared the problem, and the data loads well, with parameters in place.

Do I need to pass the full path of a file in another directory to open()?

You have to specify the path that you are working on:

for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(source):
    for f in filenames:
        print f
        fullpath = os.path.join(source, f)
        log = open(fullpath, 'r')

Is it possible to install iOS 6 SDK on Xcode 5?

I currently have Xcode 4.6.3 and 5.0 installed. I used the following bash script to link 5.0 to the SDKs in the old version:

platforms_path="$1/Contents/Developer/Platforms";
if [ -d $platforms_path ]; then
    for platform in `ls $platforms_path`
    do
        sudo ln -sf $platforms_path/$platform/Developer/SDKs/* $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/$platform/Developer/SDKs;
    done;
fi;

You just need to supply it with the path to the .app:

What is the exact meaning of Git Bash?

git bash is a shell where:

See "Fix msysGit Portable $HOME location":

On a Windows 64:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Prog\Git\1.7.1\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"

This differs from git-cmd.bat, which provides git commands in a plain DOS command prompt.

A tool like GitHub for Windows (G4W) provides different shell for git (including a PowerShell one)


Update April 2015:

Note: the git bash in msysgit/Git for windows 1.9.5 is an old one:

GNU bash, version 3.1.20(4)-release (i686-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

But with the phasing out of msysgit (Q4 2015) and the new Git For Windows (Q2 2015), you now have Git for Windows 2.3.5.
It has a much more recent bash, based on the 64bits msys2 project, an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64 with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software. msys2 comes with its own installer too.

The git bash is now (with the new Git For Windows):

GNU bash, version 4.3.33(3)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Original answer (June 2013) More precisely, from msygit wiki:

Historically, Git on Windows was only officially supported using Cygwin.
To help make a native Windows version, this project was started, based on the mingw fork.

To make the milky 'soup' of project names more clear, we say like this:

  • msysGit - is the name of this project, a build environment for Git for Windows, which releases the official binaries
  • MinGW - is a minimalist development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.
    It is really a very thin compile-time layer over the Microsoft Runtime; MinGW programs are therefore real Windows programs, with no concept of Unix-style paths or POSIX niceties such as a fork() call
  • MSYS - is a Bourne Shell command line interpreter system, is used by MinGW (and others), was forked in the past from Cygwin
  • Cygwin - a Linux like environment, which was used in the past to build Git for Windows, nowadays has no relation to msysGit

So, your two lines description about "git bash" are:

"Git bash" is a msys shell included in "Git for Windows", and is a slimmed-down version of Cygwin (an old version at that), whose only purpose is to provide enough of a POSIX layer to run a bash.


Reminder:

msysGit is the development environment to compile Git for Windows. It is complete, in the sense that you just need to install msysGit, and then you can build Git. Without installing any 3rd-party software.

msysGit is not Git for Windows; that is an installer which installs Git -- and only Git.

See more in "Difference between msysgit and Cygwin + git?".

Aborting a shell script if any command returns a non-zero value

The if statements in your example are unnecessary. Just do it like this:

dosomething1 || exit 1

If you take Ville Laurikari's advice and use set -e then for some commands you may need to use this:

dosomething || true

The || true will make the command pipeline have a true return value even if the command fails so the the -e option will not kill the script.

What does a just-in-time (JIT) compiler do?

JIT compiler only compiles the byte-code to equivalent native code at first execution. Upon every successive execution, the JVM merely uses the already compiled native code to optimize performance.

Without JIT compiler, the JVM interpreter translates the byte-code line-by-line to make it appear as if a native application is being executed.

How to do a case sensitive search in WHERE clause (I'm using SQL Server)?

By using collation or casting to binary, like this:

SELECT *
FROM Users
WHERE   
    Username = @Username COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS
    AND Password = @Password COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS
    AND Username = @Username 
    AND Password = @Password 

The duplication of username/password exists to give the engine the possibility of using indexes. The collation above is a Case Sensitive collation, change to the one you need if necessary.

The second, casting to binary, could be done like this:

SELECT *
FROM Users
WHERE   
    CAST(Username as varbinary(100)) = CAST(@Username as varbinary))
    AND CAST(Password as varbinary(100)) = CAST(@Password as varbinary(100))
    AND Username = @Username 
    AND Password = @Password

Use synthetic property for direct access of widget with id. And in XML, for your edit text add a couple of more flag as:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_text_qr_code"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ...other attributes...
    android:textAllCaps="true"
    android:inputType="textCapCharacters"
    />

This will update the keyboard as upper case enabled.

Static vs class functions/variables in Swift classes?

class vs static

class is used inside Reference Type(class):

  • computed property
  • method
  • can be overridden by subclass

static is used inside Reference Type and Value Type(class, enum):

  • computed property and stored property
  • method
  • cannot be changed by subclass
protocol MyProtocol {
//    class var protocolClassVariable : Int { get }//ERROR: Class properties are only allowed within classes
    static var protocolStaticVariable : Int { get }

How do I customize Facebook's sharer.php

It appears the following answer no longer works, and Facebook no longer accepts parameters on the Feed Dialog links

You can use the Feed Dialog via URL to emulate the behavior of Sharer.php, but it's a little more complicated. You need a Facebook App setup with the Base URL of the URL you plan to share configured. Then you can do the following:

1) Create a link like:

   http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=[FACEBOOK_APP_ID]' +
        '&link=[FULLY_QUALIFIED_LINK_TO_SHARE_CONTENT]' +
        '&picture=[LINK_TO_IMAGE]' +
        '&name=' + encodeURIComponent('[CONTENT_TITLE]') +
        '&caption=' + encodeURIComponent('[CONTENT_CAPTION]) +
        '&description=' + encodeURIComponent('[CONTENT_DESCRIPTION]') +
        '&redirect_uri=' + FBVars.baseURL + '[URL_TO_REDIRECT_TO_AFTER_SHARE]' +
        '&display=popup';

(obviously replace the [CONTENT] with the appropriate content. Documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed)

2) Open that link in a popup window with JavaScript on click of the share link

3) I like to create file (i.e. popupclose.html) to redirect users back to when they finish sharing, this file will contain <script>window.close();</script> to close the popup window

The only downside of using the Feed Dialog (besides setup) is that, if you manage Pages as well, you don't have the ability to choose to share via a Page, only a regular user account can share. And it can give you some really cryptic error messages, most of them are related to the setup of your Facebook app or problems with either the content or URL you are sharing.

How to see the changes between two commits without commits in-between?

Suppose you want to see the difference between commits 012345 and abcdef. The following should do what you want:

$ git checkout 012345
$ git cherry-pick -n abcdef
$ git diff --cached

How can I SELECT rows with MAX(Column value), DISTINCT by another column in SQL?

Another way to gt the most recent row per group using a sub query which basically calculates a rank for each row per group and then filter out your most recent rows as with rank = 1

select a.*
from topten a
where (
  select count(*)
  from topten b
  where a.home = b.home
  and a.`datetime` < b.`datetime`
) +1 = 1

DEMO

Here is the visual demo for rank no for each row for better understanding

By reading some comments what about if there are two rows which have same 'home' and 'datetime' field values?

Above query will fail and will return more than 1 rows for above situation. To cover up this situation there will be a need of another criteria/parameter/column to decide which row should be taken which falls in above situation. By viewing sample data set i assume there is a primary key column id which should be set to auto increment. So we can use this column to pick the most recent row by tweaking same query with the help of CASE statement like

select a.*
from topten a
where (
  select count(*)
  from topten b
  where a.home = b.home
  and  case 
       when a.`datetime` = b.`datetime`
       then a.id < b.id
       else a.`datetime` < b.`datetime`
       end
) + 1 = 1

DEMO

Above query will pick the row with highest id among the same datetime values

Remove specific characters from a string in Javascript

Simply replace it with nothing:

var string = 'F0123456'; // just an example
string.replace(/^F0+/i, ''); '123456'

How to match "anything up until this sequence of characters" in a regular expression?

For regex in Java, and I believe also in most regex engines, if you want to include the last part this will work:

.+?(abc)

For example, in this line:

I have this very nice senabctence

select all characters until "abc" and also include abc

using our regex, the result will be: I have this very nice senabc

Test this out: https://regex101.com/r/mX51ru/1

Starting Docker as Daemon on Ubuntu

I had the same issue on 14.04 with docker 1.9.1.

The upstart service command did work when I used sudo, even though I was root:

$ whoami
root
$ service docker status
status: Unbekannter Auftrag: docker

$ sudo service docker status
docker start/running, process 7394

It seems to depend on the environment variables.

service docker status works when becoming root with su -, but not when only using su:

$ su
Password:
$ service docker status
status: unknown job: docker
$ exit
$ su -
Password:
$ service docker status
docker start/running, process 2342

Array of PHP Objects

Although all the answers given are correct, in fact they do not completely answer the question which was about using the [] construct and more generally filling the array with objects.

A more relevant answer can be found in how to build arrays of objects in PHP without specifying an index number? which clearly shows how to solve the problem.

How to find all serial devices (ttyS, ttyUSB, ..) on Linux without opening them?

The serial communication manager library has many API and features targeted for the task you want. If the device is a USB-UART its VID/PID can be used. If the device is BT-SPP than platform specific APIs can be used. Take a look at this project for serial port programming: https://github.com/RishiGupta12/serial-communication-manager

Jenkins: Cannot define variable in pipeline stage

I think error is not coming from the specified line but from the first 3 lines. Try this instead :

node {
   stage("first") {
     def foo = "foo"
     sh "echo ${foo}"
   }
}

I think you had some extra lines that are not valid...

From declaractive pipeline model documentation, it seems that you have to use an environment declaration block to declare your variables, e.g.:

pipeline {
   environment {
     FOO = "foo"
   }

   agent none
   stages {
       stage("first") {
           sh "echo ${FOO}"
       }
   }
}

CSS Display an Image Resized and Cropped

Try using the clip-path property:

The clip-path property lets you clip an element to a basic shape or to an SVG source.

Note: The clip-path property will replace the deprecated clip property.

Python: How to keep repeating a program until a specific input is obtained?

There are two ways to do this. First is like this:

while True:             # Loop continuously
    inp = raw_input()   # Get the input
    if inp == "":       # If it is a blank line...
        break           # ...break the loop

The second is like this:

inp = raw_input()       # Get the input
while inp != "":        # Loop until it is a blank line
    inp = raw_input()   # Get the input again

Note that if you are on Python 3.x, you will need to replace raw_input with input.

How to "EXPIRE" the "HSET" child key in redis?

We had the same problem discussed here.

We have a Redis hash, a key to hash entries (name/value pairs), and we needed to hold individual expiration times on each hash entry.

We implemented this by adding n bytes of prefix data containing encoded expiration information when we write the hash entry values, we also set the key to expire at the time contained in the value being written.

Then, on read, we decode the prefix and check for expiration. This is additional overhead, however, the reads are still O(n) and the entire key will expire when the last hash entry has expired.

How can I make a JPA OneToOne relation lazy

For Kotlin devs: To allow Hibernate to inherit from the @Entity types that you want to be lazy-loadable they have to be inheritable/open, which they in Kotlin by default are not. To work around this issue we can make use of the all-open compiler plugin and instruct it to also handle the JPA annotations by adding this to our build.gradle:

allOpen {
   annotation("javax.persistence.Entity")
   annotation("javax.persistence.MappedSuperclass")
   annotation("javax.persistence.Embeddable")
}

If you are using Kotlin and Spring like me, you are most probably also using the kotlin-jpa/no-args and kotlin-spring/all-open compiler plugins already. However, you will still need to add the above lines, as that combination of plugins neither makes such classes open.

Read the great article of Léo Millon for further explanations.

explicit casting from super class to subclass

In order to avoid this kind of ClassCastException, if you have:

class A
class B extends A

You can define a constructor in B that takes an object of A. This way we can do the "cast" e.g.:

public B(A a) {
    super(a.arg1, a.arg2); //arg1 and arg2 must be, at least, protected in class A
    // If B class has more attributes, then you would initilize them here
}

What is the python "with" statement designed for?

See PEP 343 - The 'with' statement, there is an example section at the end.

What is the best way to manage a user's session in React?

I would avoid using component state since this could be difficult to manage and prone to issues that can be difficult to troubleshoot.

You should use either cookies or localStorage for persisting a user's session data. You can also use a closure as a wrapper around your cookie or localStorage data.

Here is a simple example of a UserProfile closure that will hold the user's name.

var UserProfile = (function() {
  var full_name = "";

  var getName = function() {
    return full_name;    // Or pull this from cookie/localStorage
  };

  var setName = function(name) {
    full_name = name;     
    // Also set this in cookie/localStorage
  };

  return {
    getName: getName,
    setName: setName
  }

})();

export default UserProfile;

When a user logs in, you can populate this object with user name, email address etc.

import UserProfile from './UserProfile';

UserProfile.setName("Some Guy");

Then you can get this data from any component in your app when needed.

import UserProfile from './UserProfile';

UserProfile.getName();

Using a closure will keep data outside of the global namespace, and make it is easily accessible from anywhere in your app.

XPath OR operator for different nodes

All title nodes with zipcode or book node as parent:

Version 1:

//title[parent::zipcode|parent::book]

Version 2:

//bookstore/book/title|//bookstore/city/zipcode/title

Version 3: (results are sorted based on source data rather than the order of book then zipcode)

//title[../../../*[book or magazine] or ../../../../*[city/zipcode]]

or - used within true/false - a Boolean operator in xpath

| - a Union operator in xpath that appends the query to the right of the operator to the result set from the left query.

Pythonically add header to a csv file

You just add one additional row before you execute the loop. This row contains your CSV file header name.

schema = ['a','b','c','b']
row = 4
generators = ['A','B','C','D']
with open('test.csv','wb') as csvfile:    
     writer = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=delimiter)
# Gives the header name row into csv
     writer.writerow([g for g in schema])   
#Data add in csv file       
     for x in xrange(rows):
         writer.writerow([g() for g in generators])

CSS:Defining Styles for input elements inside a div

When you say "called" I'm going to assume you mean an ID tag.

To make it cross-brower, I wouldn't suggest using the CSS3 [], although it is an option. This being said, give each of your textboxes a class like "tb" and the radio button "rb".

Then:

#divContainer .tb { width: 150px }
#divContainer .rb { width: 20px }

This assumes you are using the same classes elsewhere, if not, this will suffice:

.tb { width: 150px }
.rb { width: 20px }

As @David mentioned, to access anything within the division itself:

#divContainer [element] { ... }

Where [element] is whatever HTML element you need.

What does "TypeError 'xxx' object is not callable" means?

The other answers detail the reason for the error. A possible cause (to check) may be your class has a variable and method with the same name, which you then call. Python accesses the variable as a callable - with ().

e.g. Class A defines self.a and self.a():

>>> class A:
...     def __init__(self, val):
...         self.a = val
...     def a(self):
...         return self.a
...
>>> my_a = A(12)
>>> val = my_a.a()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

CSS get height of screen resolution

To get the screen resolution use should use Javascript instead of CSS: Use screen.height for height and screen.width for width.

Setting the target version of Java in ant javac

Both source and target should be specified. I recommend providing ant defaults, that way you do not need to specify source/target attribute for every javac task:

<property name="ant.build.javac.source" value="1.5"/>
<property name="ant.build.javac.target" value="1.5"/>

See Java cross-compiling notes for more information.

VBA: How to display an error message just like the standard error message which has a "Debug" button?

This answer does not address the Debug button (you'd have to design a form and use the buttons on that to do something like the method in your next question). But it does address this part:

now I don't want to lose the comfortableness of the default handler which also point me to the exact line where the error has occured.

First, I'll assume you don't want this in production code - you want it either for debugging or for code you personally will be using. I use a compiler flag to indicate debugging; then if I'm troubleshooting a program, I can easily find the line that's causing the problem.

# Const IsDebug = True

Sub ProcA()
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
' Main code of proc

ExitHere:
    On Error Resume Next
    ' Close objects and stuff here
    Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
    MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, , ThisWorkbook.Name & ": ProcA"
    #If IsDebug Then
        Stop            ' Used for troubleshooting - Then press F8 to step thru code 
        Resume          ' Resume will take you to the line that errored out
    #Else
        Resume ExitHere ' Exit procedure during normal running
    #End If
End Sub

Note: the exception to Resume is if the error occurs in a sub-procedure without an error handling routine, then Resume will take you to the line in this proc that called the sub-procedure with the error. But you can still step into and through the sub-procedure, using F8 until it errors out again. If the sub-procedure's too long to make even that tedious, then your sub-procedure should probably have its own error handling routine.

There are multiple ways to do this. Sometimes for smaller programs where I know I'm gonna be stepping through it anyway when troubleshooting, I just put these lines right after the MsgBox statement:

    Resume ExitHere         ' Normally exits during production
    Resume                  ' Never will get here
Exit Sub

It will never get to the Resume statement, unless you're stepping through and set it as the next line to be executed, either by dragging the next statement pointer to that line, or by pressing CtrlF9 with the cursor on that line.

Here's an article that expands on these concepts: Five tips for handling errors in VBA. Finally, if you're using VBA and haven't discovered Chip Pearson's awesome site yet, he has a page explaining Error Handling In VBA.

Going to a specific line number using Less in Unix

With n being the line number:

  • ng: Jump to line number n. Default is the start of the file.
  • nG: Jump to line number n. Default is the end of the file.

So to go to line number 320123, you would type 320123g.

How to force table cell <td> content to wrap?

I solve it putting a "p" tag inside of my "td" tag like this:

<td><p class="">This is my loooooooong paragraph</p></td>

Then add this properties to the class, using max-width to define how wide you want your field to be

.p-wrap {
  max-width: 400px;
  word-wrap: break-word;
  white-space: pre-wrap;
  font-size: 12px;
}

How to handle the modal closing event in Twitter Bootstrap?

There are two pair of modal events, one is "show" and "shown", the other is "hide" and "hidden". As you can see from the name, hide event fires when modal is about the be close, such as clicking on the cross on the top-right corner or close button or so on. While hidden is fired after the modal is actually close. You can test these events your self. For exampel:

$( '#modal' )
   .on('hide', function() {
       console.log('hide');
   })
   .on('hidden', function(){
       console.log('hidden');
   })
   .on('show', function() {
       console.log('show');
   })
   .on('shown', function(){
      console.log('shown' )
   });

And, as for your question, I think you should listen to the 'hide' event of your modal.

How do I extract Month and Year in a MySQL date and compare them?

There should also be a YEAR().

As for comparing, you could compare dates that are the first days of those years and months, or you could convert the year/month pair into a number suitable for comparison (i.e. bigger = later). (Exercise left to the reader. For hints, read about the ISO date format.)

Or you could use multiple comparisons (i.e. years first, then months).

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception'

Just adding a bit of extra information here in case someone has the same issue as me.

I use namespaces in my code and I had a class with a function that throws an Exception.

However my try/catch code in another class file was completely ignored and the normal PHP error for an uncatched exception was thrown.

Turned out I forgot to add "use \Exception;" at the top, adding that solved the error.

How to unpackage and repackage a WAR file

you can update your war from the command line using java commands as mentioned here:

Create a text file for download on-the-fly

No need to store it anywhere. Just output the content with the appropriate content type.

<?php
    header('Content-type: text/plain');
?>Hello, world.

Add content-disposition if you wish to trigger a download prompt.

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="default-filename.txt"');

A non well formed numeric value encountered

if $_GET['start_date'] is a string then convert it in integer or double to deal numerically.

$int = (int) $_GET['start_date']; //Integer
$double = (double) $_GET['start_date']; //It takes in floating value with 2 digits

Moving Average Pandas

A moving average can also be calculated and visualized directly in a line chart by using the following code:

Example using stock price data:

import pandas_datareader.data as web
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import datetime
plt.style.use('ggplot')

# Input variables
start = datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 01)
end = datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 29)
stock = 'WFC'

# Extrating data
df = web.DataReader(stock,'morningstar', start, end)
df = df['Close']

print df 

plt.plot(df['WFC'],label= 'Close')
plt.plot(df['WFC'].rolling(9).mean(),label= 'MA 9 days')
plt.plot(df['WFC'].rolling(21).mean(),label= 'MA 21 days')
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.title('Wells Fargo\nClose and Moving Averages')
plt.show()

Note that the execution policy of powershell must be set, e.g. using Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted.

Using PHP to upload file and add the path to MySQL database

First you should use print_r($_FILES) to debug, and see what it contains. :

your uploads.php would look like:

//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "pics/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']);

//This gets all the other information from the form
$Filename=basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']);
$Description=$_POST['Description'];


//Writes the Filename to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filename']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
    //Tells you if its all ok
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
    // Connects to your Database
    mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ;
    mysql_select_db("altabotanikk") or die(mysql_error()) ;

    //Writes the information to the database
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO picture (Filename,Description)
    VALUES ('$Filename', '$Description')") ;
} else {
    //Gives and error if its not
    echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}



?>

EDIT: Since this is old post, currently it is strongly recommended to use either mysqli or pdo instead mysql_ functions in php

How to automatically select all text on focus in WPF TextBox?

I've found none of the answers presented here mimic a standard Windows textbox. For instance, try to click in the white space between the last character of the textbox and the right side of the textbox. Most of the solutions here will always select the whole content, which makes it very difficult to append text to a textbox.

The answer that I present here behaves better in this respect. It is a behavior (so it requires the System.Windows.Interactivity assembly from the Blend SDK). It could be rewritten using attached properties as well.

public sealed class SelectAllTextOnFocusBehavior : Behavior<TextBox>
{
    protected override void OnAttached()
    {
        base.OnAttached();
        AssociatedObject.PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown += AssociatedObject_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown;
    }

    protected override void OnDetaching()
    {
        base.OnDetaching();
        AssociatedObject.PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown -= AssociatedObject_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown;
    }

    void AssociatedObject_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
        // Find the textbox
        DependencyObject parent = e.OriginalSource as UIElement;
        while (parent != null && !(parent is TextBox))
            parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent);

        var textBox = parent as TextBox;
        Debug.Assert(textBox != null);

        if (textBox.IsFocused) return;

        textBox.SelectAll();
        Keyboard.Focus(textBox);
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

This is based on code I've found here.

Using a cursor with dynamic SQL in a stored procedure

Another option in SQL Server is to do all of your dynamic querying into table variable in a stored proc, then use a cursor to query and process that. As to the dreaded cursor debate :), I have seen studies that show that in some situations, a cursor can actually be faster if properly set up. I use them myself when the required query is too complex, or just not humanly (for me ;) ) possible.

use mysql SUM() in a WHERE clause

When using aggregate functions to filter, you must use a HAVING statement.

SELECT *
FROM tblMoney
HAVING Sum(CASH) > 500

Scale image to fit a bounding box

Are you looking to scale upwards but not downwards?

div {
    border: solid 1px green;
    width: 60px;
    height: 70px;
}

div img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    min-height: 500px;
    min-width: 500px;
    outline: solid 1px red;
}

This however, does not lock aspect-ratio.

Setting equal heights for div's with jQuery

You can write the function this way also Which helps to build your code one time just to add class name or ID at the end

function equalHeight(group) {
               tallest = 0;
               group.each(function() {
                  thisHeight = jQuery(this).height();
                  if(thisHeight > tallest) {
                     tallest = thisHeight;
                  }
               });
               group.height(tallest);
            }
            equalHeight(jQuery("Add your class"));

Add a link to an image in a css style sheet

You could do something like

Multiple conditions in a C 'for' loop

Completing Mr. Crocker's answer, be careful about ++ or -- operators or I don't know maybe other operators. They can affect the loop. for example I saw a code similar to this one in a course:

for(int i=0; i++*i<-1, i<3; printf(" %d", i));

The result would be $ 1 2$. So the first statement has affected the loop while the outcome of the following is lots of zeros.

for(int i=0; i<3; printf(" %d", i));

How to copy a folder via cmd?

xcopy  "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\?????????" "D:\Backup" /s /e /y /i

Probably the problem is the space.Try with quotes.

White space showing up on right side of page when background image should extend full length of page

I see the question has been answered to a general standard, but when I looked at your site I noticed there is still a horizontal scroll-bar. I also notice the reason for this: You have used the code:

.homepageconference .container {
padding-left: 12%;
}

which is being used alongside code stating that the element has a width of 100%, causing an element with a total width of 112% of screen size. To fix this, either remove the padding, replace the padding with a margin of 12% for the same effect, or change the width (or max-width) of the element to 88%. This occurs in main.css at line 343. Hope this helps!

Installing SetupTools on 64-bit Windows

Problem: you have 64-bit Python, and a 32-bit installer. This will cause problems for extension modules.

The reasons why the installer doesn't finds Python is the transparent 32-bit emulation from Windows 7. 64-bit and 32-bit programs will write to different parts of the Windows registry.

64-bit: HKLM|HKCU\SOFTWARE\

32-bit: HKLM|HKCU\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\.

This means that the 64-bit Python installer writes to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python, but the 32-bit setuptools installer looks at HKLM\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\Python (this is handled by windows automatically, programs don't notice). This is expected behavior and not a bug.

Usually, you have these choices:

  • the "clean" way: use 32-bit Python if you have to use 32-bit modules or extensions
  • the other "clean" way: only use 64-bit installers when using 64-bit Python (see below)
  • what the answer above suggests: copy HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python to HKLM\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\Python, but this will cause problems with binary distributions, as 64-bit Python can't load 32-bit compiled modules (do NOT do this!)
  • install pure Python modules with setuptools instead of the distutils installer (easy_install or pip)

For setuptools itself, for example, you can't use a 32-bit installer for 64-bit Python as it includes binary files. But there's a 64-bit installer at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ (has many installers for other modules too). Nowadays, many packages on PyPi have binary distributions, so you can install them via pip.

post ajax data to PHP and return data

For the JS, try

success: function(data) {
        alert('the server returned ' + data;
    }

and

$the_id = intval($_POST['id']);

How to move child element from one parent to another using jQuery

Detach is unnecessary.

The answer (as of 2013) is simple:

$('#parentNode').append($('#childNode'));

According to http://api.jquery.com/append/

You can also select an element on the page and insert it into another:

$('.container').append($('h2'));

If an element selected this way is inserted into a single location elsewhere in the DOM, it will be moved into the target (not cloned).

Connection failed: SQLState: '01000' SQL Server Error: 10061

Received SQLSTATE 01000 in the following error message below:

In my case this was related to permission on drive N following an SQL Server failover on an Active/Passive SQL cluster.

All SQL resources where failed over to the seconary resouce and back to the preferred node following maintenance. When the Quest LiteSpeed job then executed on the preferred node it was clear the previous permissions for SQL server user X had been lost on drive N and SQLSTATE 10100 was reported.

Simply added the permissions again to the backup destination drive and the issue was resolved.

Hope that helps someone.

How do I get LaTeX to hyphenate a word that contains a dash?

The problem (as KennyTM noted) is that LaTeX won't hyphenate words with dashes in them. Luckily, there's a standard package (part of ncctools) that addresses that very problem, called extdash. This defines new hyphen and dash commands that do not disrupt hyphenation, and which can allow or prevent line breaks at the hyphen/dash. I prefer to use it with the shortcuts option, so I can use, e.g., \-/ rather than \Hyphdash. Here's what you want:

\usepackage[shortcuts]{extdash} ... multi\-/disciplinary

To prevent breaking at that hyphen, use multi\=/disciplinary

(Aside: The Chicago Manual of Style advises dropping the hyphens attaching affixes like 'multi', unless the word is ambiguous or unintelligible without it.)

How to use ImageBackground to set background image for screen in react-native

Logging framework incompatibility

SLF4J 1.5.11 and 1.6.0 versions are not compatible (see compatibility report) because the argument list of org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log method has been changed (added Object[] p5):

SLF4J 1.5.11:

LocationAwareLogger.log ( org.slf4j.Marker p1, String p2, int p3,
                          String p4, Throwable p5 )

SLF4J 1.6.0:

LocationAwareLogger.log ( org.slf4j.Marker p1, String p2, int p3,
                          String p4, Object[] p5, Throwable p6 )

See compatibility reports for other SLF4J versions on this page.

Split comma-separated values

A way to do this without Linq & Lambdas

string source = "a,b, b, c";
string[] items = source.Split(new char[] { ',', ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

Is there a simple, elegant way to define singletons?

A slightly different approach to implement the singleton in Python is the borg pattern by Alex Martelli (Google employee and Python genius).

class Borg:
    __shared_state = {}
    def __init__(self):
        self.__dict__ = self.__shared_state

So instead of forcing all instances to have the same identity, they share state.

Can you change what a symlink points to after it is created?

AFAIK, no, you can't. You have to remove it and recreate it. Actually, you can overwrite a symlink and thus update the pathname referenced by it:

$ ln -s .bashrc test
$ ls -al test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pascal pascal 7 2009-09-23 17:12 test -> .bashrc
$ ln -s .profile test
ln: creating symbolic link `test': File exists
$ ln -s -f .profile test
$ ls -al test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pascal pascal 8 2009-09-23 17:12 test -> .profile

EDIT: As the OP pointed out in a comment, using the --force option will make ln perform a system call to unlink() before symlink(). Below, the output of strace on my linux box proving it:

$ strace -o /tmp/output.txt ln -s -f .bash_aliases test
$ grep -C3 ^unlink /tmp/output.txt 
lstat64("test", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=7, ...}) = 0
stat64(".bash_aliases", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2043, ...}) = 0
symlink(".bash_aliases", "test")        = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
unlink("test")                          = 0
symlink(".bash_aliases", "test")        = 0
close(0)                                = 0
close(1)                                = 0

So I guess the final answer is "no".

EDIT: The following is copied from Arto Bendiken's answer over on unix.stackexchange.com, circa 2016.

This can indeed be done atomically with rename(2), by first creating the new symlink under a temporary name and then cleanly overwriting the old symlink in one go. As the man page states:

If newpath refers to a symbolic link the link will be overwritten.

In the shell, you would do this with mv -T as follows:

$ mkdir a b
$ ln -s a z
$ ln -s b z.new
$ mv -T z.new z

You can strace that last command to make sure it is indeed using rename(2) under the hood:

$ strace mv -T z.new z
lstat64("z.new", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=1, ...}) = 0
lstat64("z", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=1, ...}) = 0
rename("z.new", "z")                    = 0

Note that in the above, both mv -T and strace are Linux-specific.

On FreeBSD, use mv -h alternately.

Editor's note: This is how Capistrano has done it for years now, ever since ~2.15. See this pull request.

Split (explode) pandas dataframe string entry to separate rows

I had a similar problem, my solution was converting the dataframe to a list of dictionaries first, then do the transition. Here is the function:

import re
import pandas as pd

def separate_row(df, column_name):
    ls = []
    for row_dict in df.to_dict('records'):
        for word in re.split(',', row_dict[column_name]):
            row = row_dict.copy()
            row[column_name]=word
            ls.append(row)
    return pd.DataFrame(ls)

Example:

>>> from pandas import DataFrame
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = DataFrame([{'var1': 'a,b,c', 'var2': 1},
               {'var1': 'd,e,f', 'var2': 2}])
>>> a
    var1  var2
0  a,b,c     1
1  d,e,f     2
>>> separate_row(a, "var1")
  var1  var2
0    a     1
1    b     1
2    c     1
3    d     2
4    e     2
5    f     2

You can also change the function a bit to support separating list type rows.

Force IE compatibility mode off using tags

This is due to the setting within IE Compatibility settings which says that all Intranet sites should run in compatibility mode. You can untick this via a group policy (or just plain unticking it in IE), or you can set the following:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />

Apparently it is not possible to change the compatibility view settings as a group policy but it is something that can perhaps be changed in the registry, this meta tag works fine for me, I had to make the required attribute work as part of a html form, it worked in chrome and firefox but not IE.

Here is a nice visual of what browsers support each individual html 5 element.

How to switch between hide and view password

My Kotlin extension . write once use everywhere

fun EditText.tooglePassWord() {
this.tag = !((this.tag ?: false) as Boolean)
this.inputType = if (this.tag as Boolean)
    InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD
else
    (InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT or InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD)

this.setSelection(this.length()) }

You can keep this method in any file and use it everywhere use it like this

ivShowPassword.click { etPassword.tooglePassWord() }

where ivShowPassword is clicked imageview (eye) and etPassword is Editext

How to call shell commands from Ruby

The backticks (`) method is the easiest one to call shell commands from Ruby. It returns the result of the shell command:

     result_of_shell_command = `curl #{url_request}`

Default value for field in Django model

You can set the default like this:

b = models.CharField(max_length=7,default="foobar")

and then you can hide the field with your model's Admin class like this:

class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    exclude = ("b")

Basic HTTP and Bearer Token Authentication

Standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750) says you can use:

  • Form-Encoded Body Parameter: Authorization: Bearer mytoken123
  • URI Query Parameter: access_token=mytoken123

So it's possible to pass many Bearer Token with URI, but doing this is discouraged (see section 5 in the standard).

jQuery datepicker years shown

Adding to what @Shog9 posted, you can also restrict dates individually in the beforeShowDay: callback function.

You supply a function that takes a date and returns a boolean array:

"$(".selector").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: nationalDays}) 
natDays = [[1, 26, 'au'], [2, 6, 'nz'], [3, 17, 'ie'], [4, 27, 'za'], 
[5, 25, 'ar'], [6, 6, 'se'], [7, 4, 'us'], [8, 17, 'id'], [9, 7, 
'br'], [10, 1, 'cn'], [11, 22, 'lb'], [12, 12, 'ke']]; 
function nationalDays(date) { 
    for (i = 0; i < natDays.length; i++) { 
      if (date.getMonth() == natDays[i][0] - 1 && date.getDate() == 
natDays[i][1]) { 
        return [false, natDays[i][2] + '_day']; 
      } 
    } 
  return [true, '']; 
}

how to check if the input is a number or not in C?

A self-made solution:

bool isNumeric(const char *str) 
{
    while(*str != '\0')
    {
        if(*str < '0' || *str > '9')
            return false;
        str++;
    }
    return true;
}

Note that this solution should not be used in production-code, because it has severe limitations. But I like it for understanding C-Strings and ASCII.

How to disable Google Chrome auto update?

If you are using Mac OS. Keep the version that you need and then following step help you stop updating chrome permanently.

To Disable auto update:-

Empty these directories:

~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/

Then change the permissions on these folders named 'GoogleSoftwareUpdate' so that there's no owner and no read/write/execute permissions. In terminal:

cd /Library/Google/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup GoogleSoftwareUpdate
sudo chmod 000 GoogleSoftwareUpdate

cd ~/Library/Google/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup GoogleSoftwareUpdate
sudo chmod 000 GoogleSoftwareUpdate                                                                        

Then do the same for the folder Google one level up.

cd /Library/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup Google
sudo chmod 000 Google
cd ~/Library/

How do I replace multiple spaces with a single space in C#?

For those, who don't like Regex, here is a method that uses the StringBuilder:

    public static string FilterWhiteSpaces(string input)
    {
        if (input == null)
            return string.Empty;

        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(input.Length);
        for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
        {
            char c = input[i];
            if (i == 0 || c != ' ' || (c == ' ' && input[i - 1] != ' '))
                stringBuilder.Append(c);
        }
        return stringBuilder.ToString();
    }

In my tests, this method was 16 times faster on average with a very large set of small-to-medium sized strings, compared to a static compiled Regex. Compared to a non-compiled or non-static Regex, this should be even faster.

Keep in mind, that it does not remove leading or trailing spaces, only multiple occurrences of such.

What is the use of a private static variable in Java?

Private static variables are useful in the same way that private instance variables are useful: they store state which is accessed only by code within the same class. The accessibility (private/public/etc) and the instance/static nature of the variable are entirely orthogonal concepts.

I would avoid thinking of static variables as being shared between "all instances" of the class - that suggests there has to be at least one instance for the state to be present. No - a static variable is associated with the type itself instead of any instances of the type.

So any time you want some state which is associated with the type rather than any particular instance, and you want to keep that state private (perhaps allowing controlled access via properties, for example) it makes sense to have a private static variable.

As an aside, I would strongly recommend that the only type of variables which you make public (or even non-private) are constants - static final variables of immutable types. Everything else should be private for the sake of separating API and implementation (amongst other things).

How to draw a rounded Rectangle on HTML Canvas?

Here's a solution using a lineJoin to round the corners. Works if you just need a solid shape but not so much if you need a thin border that's smaller than the border radius.

    function roundedRect(ctx, options) {

        ctx.strokeStyle = options.color;
        ctx.fillStyle = options.color;
        ctx.lineJoin = "round";
        ctx.lineWidth = options.radius;

        ctx.strokeRect(
            options.x+(options.radius*.5),
            options.y+(options.radius*.5),
            options.width-options.radius,
            options.height-options.radius
        );

        ctx.fillRect(
            options.x+(options.radius*.5),
            options.y+(options.radius*.5),
            options.width-options.radius,
            options.height-options.radius
        );

        ctx.stroke();
        ctx.fill();

    }

    const canvas = document.getElementsByTagName("CANVAS")[0];
    let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

    roundedRect(ctx, {
        x: 10,
        y: 10,
        width: 200,
        height: 100,
        radius: 10,
        color: "red"
    });

JavaScript window resize event

The already mentioned solutions above will work if all you want to do is resize the window and window only. However, if you want to have the resize propagated to child elements, you will need to propagate the event yourself. Here's some example code to do it:

window.addEventListener("resize", function () {
  var recResizeElement = function (root) {
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(root.childNodes, function (el) {

      var resizeEvent = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
      resizeEvent.initEvent("resize", false, true);
      var propagate = el.dispatchEvent(resizeEvent);

      if (propagate)
        recResizeElement(el);
    });
  };
  recResizeElement(document.body);
});

Note that a child element can call

 event.preventDefault();

on the event object that is passed in as the first Arg of the resize event. For example:

var child1 = document.getElementById("child1");
child1.addEventListener("resize", function (event) {
  ...
  event.preventDefault();
});

Reading *.wav files in Python

I needed to read a 1-channel 24-bit WAV file. The post above by Nak was very useful. However, as mentioned above by basj 24-bit is not straightforward. I finally got it working using the following snippet:

from scipy.io import wavfile
TheFile = 'example24bit1channelFile.wav'
[fs, x] = wavfile.read(TheFile)

# convert the loaded data into a 24bit signal

nx = len(x)
ny = nx/3*4    # four 3-byte samples are contained in three int32 words

y = np.zeros((ny,), dtype=np.int32)    # initialise array

Some additional scaling is required if you need results between -1 and +1. Maybe some of you out there might find this useful

how to return index of a sorted list?

Straight out of the documentation for collections.OrderedDict:

>>> # dictionary sorted by value
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3), ('apple', 4)])

Adapted to the example in the original post:

>>> l=[2,3,1,4,5]
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(enumerate(l), key=lambda x: x[1])).keys()
[2, 0, 1, 3, 4]

See http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections.OrderedDict for details.

When to use setAttribute vs .attribute= in JavaScript?

These answers aren't really addressing the large confusion with between properties and attributes. Also, depending on the Javascript prototype, sometimes you can use a an element's property to access an attributes and sometimes you can't.

First, you have to remember that an HTMLElement is a Javascript object. Like all objects, they have properties. Sure, you can create a property called nearly anything you want inside HTMLElement, but it doesn't have to do anything with the DOM (what's on the page). The dot notation (.) is for properties. Now, there some special properties that are mapped to attributes, and at the time or writing there are only 4 that are guaranteed (more on that later).

All HTMLElements include a property called attributes. HTMLElement.attributes is a live NamedNodeMap Object that relates to the elements in the DOM. "Live" means that when the node changes in the DOM, they change on the JavaScript side, and vice versa. DOM attributes, in this case, are the nodes in question. A Node has a .nodeValue property that you can change. NamedNodeMap objects have a function called setNamedItem where you can change the entire node. You can also directly access the node by the key. For example, you can say .attributes["dir"] which is the same as .attributes.getNamedItem('dir'); (Side note, NamedNodeMap is case-insensitive, so you can also pass 'DIR');

There's a similar function directly in HTMLElement where you can just call setAttribute which will automatically create a node if it doesn't exist and set the nodeValue. There are also some attributes you can access directly as properties in HTMLElement via special properties, such as dir. Here's a rough mapping of what it looks like:

HTMLElement {
  attributes: {
    setNamedItem: function(attr, newAttr) { 
      this[attr] = newAttr;
    },    
    getNamedItem: function(attr) {
      return this[attr];
    },
    myAttribute1: {
      nodeName: 'myAttribute1',
      nodeValue: 'myNodeValue1'
    },
    myAttribute2: {
      nodeName: 'myAttribute2',
      nodeValue: 'myNodeValue2'
    },
  }
  setAttribute: function(attr, value) { 
    let item = this.attributes.getNamedItem(attr);
    if (!item) {
      item = document.createAttribute(attr);
      this.attributes.setNamedItem(attr, item);
    }
    item.nodeValue = value;
  },
  getAttribute: function(attr) { 
    return this.attributes[attr] && this.attributes[attr].nodeValue;
  },
  dir: // Special map to attributes.dir.nodeValue || ''
  id:  // Special map to attributes.id.nodeValue || ''
  className: // Special map to attributes.class.nodeValue || '' 
  lang: // Special map to attributes.lang.nodeValue || ''

}

So you can change the dir attributes 6 ways:

  // 1. Replace the node with setNamedItem
  const newAttribute = document.createAttribute('dir');
  newAttribute.nodeValue = 'rtl';
  element.attributes.setNamedItem(newAttribute);

  // 2. Replace the node by property name;
  const newAttribute2 = document.createAttribute('dir');
  newAttribute2.nodeValue = 'rtl';
  element.attributes['dir'] = newAttribute2;
  // OR
  element.attributes.dir = newAttribute2;

  // 3. Access node with getNamedItem and update nodeValue
  // Attribute must already exist!!!
  element.attributes.getNamedItem('dir').nodeValue = 'rtl';

  // 4. Access node by property update nodeValue
  // Attribute must already exist!!!
  element.attributes['dir'].nodeValue = 'rtl';
  // OR
  element.attributes.dir.nodeValue = 'rtl';

  // 5. use setAttribute()  
  element.setAttribute('dir', 'rtl');
  
  // 6. use the UNIQUELY SPECIAL dir property
  element["dir"] = 'rtl';
  element.dir = 'rtl';

You can update all properties with methods #1-5, but only dir, id, lang, and className with method #6.

Extensions of HTMLElement

HTMLElement has those 4 special properties. Some elements are extended classes of HTMLElement have even more mapped properties. For example, HTMLAnchorElement has HTMLAnchorElement.href, HTMLAnchorElement.rel, and HTMLAnchorElement.target. But, beware, if you set those properties on elements that do not have those special properties (like on a HTMLTableElement) then the attributes aren't changed and they are just, normal custom properties. To better understand, here's an example of its inheritance:

HTMLAnchorElement extends HTMLElement {
  // inherits all of HTMLElement
  href:    // Special map to attributes.href.nodeValue || ''
  target:  // Special map to attributes.target.nodeValue || ''
  rel:     // Special map to attributes.ref.nodeValue || '' 
}

Custom Properties

Now the big warning: Like all Javascript objects, you can add custom properties. But, those won't change anything on the DOM. You can do:

  const newElement = document.createElement('div');
  // THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THE ATTRIBUTE
  newElement.display = 'block';

But that's the same as

  newElement.myCustomDisplayAttribute = 'block';

This means that adding a custom property will not be linked to .attributes[attr].nodeValue.

Performance

I've built a jsperf test case to show the difference: https://jsperf.com/set-attribute-comparison. Basically, In order:

  1. Custom properties because they don't affect the DOM and are not attributes.
  2. Special mappings provided by the browser (dir, id, className).
  3. If attributes already exists, element.attributes.ATTRIBUTENAME.nodeValue =
  4. setAttribute();
  5. If attributes already exists, element.attributes.getNamedItem(ATTRIBUTENAME).nodeValue = newValue
  6. element.attributes.ATTRIBUTENAME = newNode
  7. element.attributes.setNamedItem(ATTRIBUTENAME) = newNode

Conclusion (TL;DR)

  • Use the special property mappings from HTMLElement: element.dir, element.id, element.className, or element.lang.

  • If you are 100% sure the element is an extended HTMLElement with a special property, use that special mapping. (You can check with if (element instanceof HTMLAnchorElement)).

  • If you are 100% sure the attribute already exists, use element.attributes.ATTRIBUTENAME.nodeValue = newValue.

  • If not, use setAttribute().

How to extract img src, title and alt from html using php?

If it's XHTML, your example is, you need only simpleXML.

<?php
$input = '<img src="/image/fluffybunny.jpg" title="Harvey the bunny" alt="a cute little fluffy bunny"/>';
$sx = simplexml_load_string($input);
var_dump($sx);
?>

Output:

object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
  ["@attributes"]=>
  array(3) {
    ["src"]=>
    string(22) "/image/fluffybunny.jpg"
    ["title"]=>
    string(16) "Harvey the bunny"
    ["alt"]=>
    string(26) "a cute little fluffy bunny"
  }

How to scale images to screen size in Pygame

If you scale 1600x900 to 1280x720 you have

scale_x = 1280.0/1600
scale_y = 720.0/900

Then you can use it to find button size, and button position

button_width  = 300 * scale_x
button_height = 300 * scale_y

button_x = 1440 * scale_x
button_y = 860  * scale_y

If you scale 1280x720 to 1600x900 you have

scale_x = 1600.0/1280
scale_y = 900.0/720

and rest is the same.


I add .0 to value to make float - otherwise scale_x, scale_y will be rounded to integer - in this example to 0 (zero) (Python 2.x)

Jackson serialization: ignore empty values (or null)

You have the annotation in the wrong place - it needs to be on the class, not the field. i.e:

@JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL) //or Include.NON_EMPTY, if that fits your use case 
public static class Request {
  // ...
}

As noted in comments, in versions below 2.x the syntax for this annotation is:

@JsonSerialize(include = JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_NULL) // or JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_EMPTY

The other option is to configure the ObjectMapper directly, simply by calling mapper.setSerializationInclusion(Include.NON_NULL);

(for the record, I think the popularity of this answer is an indication that this annotation should be applicable on a field-by-field basis, @fasterxml)

"Unorderable types: int() < str()"

The issue here is that input() returns a string in Python 3.x, so when you do your comparison, you are comparing a string and an integer, which isn't well defined (what if the string is a word, how does one compare a string and a number?) - in this case Python doesn't guess, it throws an error.

To fix this, simply call int() to convert your string to an integer:

int(input(...))

As a note, if you want to deal with decimal numbers, you will want to use one of float() or decimal.Decimal() (depending on your accuracy and speed needs).

Note that the more pythonic way of looping over a series of numbers (as opposed to a while loop and counting) is to use range(). For example:

def main():
    print("Let me Retire Financial Calculator")
    deposit = float(input("Please input annual deposit in dollars: $"))
    rate = int(input ("Please input annual rate in percentage: %")) / 100
    time = int(input("How many years until retirement?"))
    value = 0
    for x in range(1, time+1):
        value = (value * rate) + deposit
        print("The value of your account after" + str(x) + "years will be $" + str(value))

how to display full stored procedure code?

How can you find out which process is listening on a TCP or UDP port on Windows?

Using PowerShell... ...this would be your friend (replace 8080 with your port number):

 netstat -abno | Select-String -Context 0,1 -Pattern 8080

Sample output

>   TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING         2920
   [tnslsnr.exe]
>   TCP    [::]:8080              [::]:0                 LISTENING         2920
   [tnslsnr.exe]

So in this example tnslsnr.exe (OracleXE database) is listening on port 8080.

Quick explanation

  • Select-String is used to filter the lengthy output of netstat for the relevant lines.
  • -Pattern tests each line against a regular expression.
  • -Context 0,1 will output 0 leading lines and 1 trailing line for each pattern match.

Where could I buy a valid SSL certificate?

You are really asking a couple of questions here:

1) Why does the price of SSL certificates vary so much

2) Where can I get good, cheap SSL certificates?

The first question is a good one. For example, the type of SSL certificate you buy is important. Many SSL certificates are domain verified only - that is, the company issuing the certificate only validate that you own the domain. They don't validate your identity, so people visiting your site might know that the domain has a SSL certificate, but that doesn't mean the person behing the website isn't a scammer or phisher, for example. This is why the Verisign solution is much more expensive - you are getting a cert that not only secures your site, but validates the identity of the owner of the site (well, that's the claim).

You can read more on this subject here

For your second question, I can personally recommend RapidSSL. I've bought several certificates from them in the past and they are, well, rapid. However, you should always do your research first. A company based in France might be better for you to deal with as you can get support in your local hours, etc.

Ionic android build Error - Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable

Setup for Linux/Ubuntu/Mint

  1. download Android Studio or SDK only
  2. install
  3. set PATH

3.1) Open terminal and edit ~/.bashrc

sudo su
vim ~/.bashrc

3.2) Export ANDROID_HOME and add folders with binaries to your PATH

Common default install folders:

  • /root/Android/Sdk
  • ~/Android/Sdk

Example .bashrc

export ANDROID_HOME=/root/Android/Sdk
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

3.3) Refresh your PATH

source ~/.bashrc

4) Install correct SDK

When ionic build android still fails it could be because of wrong sdk version. To install correct versions and images run android from command line. Since it is now in your PATH you should be able to run it from anywhere.

Java stack overflow error - how to increase the stack size in Eclipse?

You need to have a launch configuration inside Eclipse in order to adjust the JVM parameters.

After running your program with either F11 or Ctrl-F11, open the launch configurations in Run -> Run Configurations... and open your program under "Java Applications". Select the Arguments pane, where you will find "VM arguments".

This is where -Xss1024k goes.

If you want the launch configuration to be a file in your workspace (so you can right click and run it), select the Common pane, and check the Save as -> Shared File checkbox and browse to the location you want the launch file. I usually have them in a separate folder, as we check them into CVS.

Python: Get HTTP headers from urllib2.urlopen call?

Actually, it appears that urllib2 can do an HTTP HEAD request.

The question that @reto linked to, above, shows how to get urllib2 to do a HEAD request.

Here's my take on it:

import urllib2

# Derive from Request class and override get_method to allow a HEAD request.
class HeadRequest(urllib2.Request):
    def get_method(self):
        return "HEAD"

myurl = 'http://bit.ly/doFeT'
request = HeadRequest(myurl)

try:
    response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
    response_headers = response.info()

    # This will just display all the dictionary key-value pairs.  Replace this
    # line with something useful.
    response_headers.dict

except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
    # Prints the HTTP Status code of the response but only if there was a 
    # problem.
    print ("Error code: %s" % e.code)

If you check this with something like the Wireshark network protocol analazer, you can see that it is actually sending out a HEAD request, rather than a GET.

This is the HTTP request and response from the code above, as captured by Wireshark:

HEAD /doFeT HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: identity
Host: bit.ly
Connection: close
User-Agent: Python-urllib/2.7

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved
Server: nginx
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:20:56 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Cache-control: private; max-age=90
Location: http://www.kidsidebyside.org/?p=445
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Length: 127
Connection: close
Set-Cookie: _bit=4f40f738-00153-02ed0-421cf10a;domain=.bit.ly;expires=Fri Aug 17 13:20:56 2012;path=/; HttpOnly

However, as mentioned in one of the comments in the other question, if the URL in question includes a redirect then urllib2 will do a GET request to the destination, not a HEAD. This could be a major shortcoming, if you really wanted to only make HEAD requests.

The request above involves a redirect. Here is request to the destination, as captured by Wireshark:

GET /2009/05/come-and-draw-the-circle-of-unity-with-us/ HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: identity
Host: www.kidsidebyside.org
Connection: close
User-Agent: Python-urllib/2.7

An alternative to using urllib2 is to use Joe Gregorio's httplib2 library:

import httplib2

url = "http://bit.ly/doFeT"
http_interface = httplib2.Http()

try:
    response, content = http_interface.request(url, method="HEAD")
    print ("Response status: %d - %s" % (response.status, response.reason))

    # This will just display all the dictionary key-value pairs.  Replace this
    # line with something useful.
    response.__dict__

except httplib2.ServerNotFoundError, e:
    print (e.message)

This has the advantage of using HEAD requests for both the initial HTTP request and the redirected request to the destination URL.

Here's the first request:

HEAD /doFeT HTTP/1.1
Host: bit.ly
accept-encoding: gzip, deflate
user-agent: Python-httplib2/0.7.2 (gzip)

Here's the second request, to the destination:

HEAD /2009/05/come-and-draw-the-circle-of-unity-with-us/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.kidsidebyside.org
accept-encoding: gzip, deflate
user-agent: Python-httplib2/0.7.2 (gzip)

How to declare variable and use it in the same Oracle SQL script?

Sometimes you need to use a macro variable without asking the user to enter a value. Most often this has to be done with optional script parameters. The following code is fully functional

column 1 noprint new_value 1
select '' "1" from dual where 2!=2;
select nvl('&&1', 'VAH') "1" from dual;
column 1 clear
define 1

Similar code was somehow found in the rdbms/sql directory.

If you want to round the decimal, look at Math.Round()

Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration

Another reason this can happen is if you send the wrong appId. This can happen in early development if you have a development app and a production app. If you hard-code the appId for dev and push to prod, this will show up.

How to reset (clear) form through JavaScript?

form.reset() is a DOM element method (not one on the jQuery object), so you need:

$("#client.frm")[0].reset();
//faster version:
$("#client")[0].reset();

Or without jQuery:

document.getElementById("client").reset();

Button Listener for button in fragment in android

Fragment Listener

If a fragment needs to communicate events to the activity, the fragment should define an interface as an inner type and require that the activity must implement this interface:

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

public class MyListFragment extends Fragment {
  // ...
  // Define the listener of the interface type
  // listener is the activity itself
  private OnItemSelectedListener listener;

  // Define the events that the fragment will use to communicate
  public interface OnItemSelectedListener {
    public void onRssItemSelected(String link);
  }

  // Store the listener (activity) that will have events fired once the fragment is attached
  @Override
  public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    super.onAttach(activity);
      if (activity instanceof OnItemSelectedListener) {
        listener = (OnItemSelectedListener) activity;
      } else {
        throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
            + " must implement MyListFragment.OnItemSelectedListener");
      }
  }

  // Now we can fire the event when the user selects something in the fragment
  public void onSomeClick(View v) {
     listener.onRssItemSelected("some link");
  }
}

and then in the activity:

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class RssfeedActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
  MyListFragment.OnItemSelectedListener {
    DetailFragment fragment;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_rssfeed);
      fragment = (DetailFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.detailFragment);
  }

  // Now we can define the action to take in the activity when the fragment event fires
  @Override
  public void onRssItemSelected(String link) {
      if (fragment != null && fragment.isInLayout()) {
          fragment.setText(link);
      }
  }
}

How to get a list of column names

The result set of a query in PHP offers a couple of functions allowing just that:

    numCols() 
    columnName(int $column_number )

Example

    $db = new SQLIte3('mysqlite.db');
    $table = 'mytable';

    $tableCol = getColName($db, $table);

    for ($i=0; $i<count($tableCol); $i++){
        echo "Column $i = ".$tableCol[$i]."\n";
    }           

    function getColName($db, $table){
        $qry = "SELECT * FROM $table LIMIT 1";
        $result = $db->query($qry);
        $nCols = $result->numCols();
        for ($i = 0; $i < $ncols; $i++) {
            $colName[$i] = $result->columnName($i);
        }
        return $colName;
    }

How to make promises work in IE11

You could try using a Polyfill. The following Polyfill was published in 2019 and did the trick for me. It assigns the Promise function to the window object.

  "old_key_name": "new_key_name",
  "old_key_name_2": "new_key_name_2",
}

Load it

with open("<filepath>") as json_file:
    format_dict = json.load(json_file)

Create this function to format a dict with your mapping

def format_output(dict_to_format,format_dict):
  for row in dict_to_format:
    if row in format_dict.keys() and row != format_dict[row]:
      dict_to_format[format_dict[row]] = dict_to_format.pop(row)

How can an html element fill out 100% of the remaining screen height, using css only?

The accepted solution will not actually work. You will notice that the content div will be equal to the height of its parent, body. So setting the body height to 100% will set it equal to the height of the browser window. Let's say the browser window was 768px in height, by setting the content div height to 100%, the div's height will in turn be 768px. Thus, you will end up with the header div being 150px and the content div being 768px. In the end you will have content 150px below the bottom of the page. For another solution, check out this link.

It's more generic and will fit for any array!!

Is there an eval() function in Java?

A fun way to solve your problem could be coding an eval() function on your own! I've done it for you!

You can use FunctionSolver library simply by typing FunctionSolver.solveByX(function,value) inside your code. The function attribute is a String which represents the function you want to solve, the value attribute is the value of the independent variable of your function (which MUST be x).

If you want to solve a function which contains more than one independent variable, you can use FunctionSolver.solve(function,values) where the values attribute is an HashMap(String,Double) which contains all your independent attributes (as Strings) and their respective values (as Doubles).

Another piece of information: I've coded a simple version of FunctionSolver, so its supports only Math methods which return a double value and which accepts one or two double values as fields (just use FunctionSolver.usableMathMethods() if you're curious) (These methods are: bs, sin, cos, tan, atan2, sqrt, log, log10, pow, exp, min, max, copySign, signum, IEEEremainder, acos, asin, atan, cbrt, ceil, cosh, expm1, floor, hypot, log1p, nextAfter, nextDown, nextUp, random, rint, sinh, tanh, toDegrees, toRadians, ulp). Also, that library supports the following operators: * / + - ^ (even if java normally does not support the ^ operator).

One last thing: while creating this library I had to use reflections to call Math methods. I think it's really cool, just have a look at this if you are interested in!

That's all, here it is the code (and the library):

"document.getElementByClass is not a function"

document.querySelectorAll works pretty well and allows you to further narrow down your selection.

remove double quotes from Json return data using Jquery

You can simple try String(); to remove the quotes.

Refer the first example here: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_string.asp

Thank me later.

PS: TO MODs: don't mistaken me for digging the dead old question. I faced this issue today and I came across this post while searching for the answer and I'm just posting the answer.

Good way of getting the user's location in Android

To select the right location provider for your app, you can use Criteria objects:

Criteria myCriteria = new Criteria();
myCriteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_HIGH);
myCriteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW);
// let Android select the right location provider for you
String myProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(myCriteria, true); 

// finally require updates at -at least- the desired rate
long minTimeMillis = 600000; // 600,000 milliseconds make 10 minutes
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(myProvider,minTimeMillis,0,locationListener); 

Read the documentation for requestLocationUpdates for more details on how the arguments are taken into account:

The frequency of notification may be controlled using the minTime and minDistance parameters. If minTime is greater than 0, the LocationManager could potentially rest for minTime milliseconds between location updates to conserve power. If minDistance is greater than 0, a location will only be broadcasted if the device moves by minDistance meters. To obtain notifications as frequently as possible, set both parameters to 0.

More thoughts

  • You can monitor the accuracy of the Location objects with Location.getAccuracy(), which returns the estimated accuracy of the position in meters.
  • the Criteria.ACCURACY_HIGH criterion should give you errors below 100m, which is not as good as GPS can be, but matches your needs.
  • You also need to monitor the status of your location provider, and switch to another provider if it gets unavailable or disabled by the user.
  • The passive provider may also be a good match for this kind of application: the idea is to use location updates whenever they are requested by another app and broadcast systemwide.

How to extract custom header value in Web API message handler?

Create a new method - 'Returns an individual HTTP Header value' and call this method with key value everytime when you need to access multiple key Values from HttpRequestMessage.

public static string GetHeader(this HttpRequestMessage request, string key)
        {
            IEnumerable<string> keys = null;
            if (!request.Headers.TryGetValues(key, out keys))
                return null;

            return keys.First();
        }

How to replace part of string by position?

With the help of this post, I create following function with additional length checks

public string ReplaceStringByIndex(string original, string replaceWith, int replaceIndex)
{
    if (original.Length >= (replaceIndex + replaceWith.Length))
    {
        StringBuilder rev = new StringBuilder(original);
        rev.Remove(replaceIndex, replaceWith.Length);
        rev.Insert(replaceIndex, replaceWith);
        return rev.ToString();
    }
    else
    {
        throw new Exception("Wrong lengths for the operation");
    }
}

In Maven how to exclude resources from the generated jar?

When I create an executable jar with dependencies (using this guide), all properties files are packaged into that jar too. How to stop it from happening? Thanks.

Properties files from where? Your main jar? Dependencies?

In the former case, putting resources under src/test/resources as suggested is probably the most straight forward and simplest option.

In the later case, you'll have to create a custom assembly descriptor with special excludes/exclude in the unpackOptions.

How can I send an inner <div> to the bottom of its parent <div>?

Here is way to avoid absolute divs and tables if you know parent's height:

<div class="parent">
    <div class="child"> <a href="#">Home</a>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

.parent {
    line-height:80px;
    border: 1px solid black;
}
.child {
    line-height:normal;
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align:bottom;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

Best way to determine user's locale within browser

I used all the answers and created a single line solution:

const getLanguage = () => navigator.userLanguage || (navigator.languages && navigator.languages.length && navigator.languages[0]) || navigator.language || navigator.browserLanguage || navigator.systemLanguage || 'en';

console.log(getLanguage());

OpenCV TypeError: Expected cv::UMat for argument 'src' - What is this?

Not your code is the problem this is perfectly fine:

gray = cv2.cvtColor(imgUMat, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY)

The problem is that imgUMat is None so you probably made a mistake when loading your image:

imgUMat = cv2.imread("your_image.jpg")

I suspect you just entered the wrong image path.

Why does HTML think “chucknorris” is a color?

The browser is trying to convert chucknorris into hex colour code, because it’s not a valid value.

  1. In chucknorris, everything except c is not a valid hex value.
  2. So it gets converted to c00c00000000.
  3. Which becomes #c00000, a shade of red.

This seems to be an issue primarily with Internet Explorer and Opera (12) as both Chrome (31) and Firefox (26) just ignore this.

P.S. The numbers in brackets are the browser versions I tested on.

On a lighter note

How to compare two object variables in EL expression language?

Not sure if I get you right, but the simplest way would be something like:

<c:if test="${languageBean.locale == 'en'">
  <f:selectItems value="#{customerBean.selectableCommands_limited_en}" />
</c:if>

Just a quick copy and paste from an app of mine...

Field 'id' doesn't have a default value?

The id should set as auto-increment.

To modify an existing id column to auto-increment, just add this

ALTER TABLE card_games MODIFY id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

How do you redirect HTTPS to HTTP?

all the above did not work when i used cloudflare, this one worked for me:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

and this one definitely works without proxies in the way:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

undefined reference to boost::system::system_category() when compiling

Linking with a library that defines the missing symbol (-lboost_system) is the obvious solution, but in the particular case of Boost.System, a misfeature in the original design makes it use boost::system::generic_category() and boost::system::system_category() needlessly. Compiling with the flag -DBOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED disables that code and lets a number of programs compile without requiring -lboost_system (that link is of course still needed if you explicitly use some of the library's features).

Starting from Boost 1.66 and this commit, this behavior is now the default, so hopefully fewer and fewer users should need this answer.

As noticed by @AndrewMarshall, an alternative is to define BOOST_ERROR_CODE_HEADER_ONLY which enables a header-only version of the code. This was discouraged by Boost as it can break some functionality. However, since 1.69, header-only seems to have become the default, supposedly making this question obsolete.

How to update std::map after using the find method?

You can update the value like following

     if (itr != m.end()){
           (*itr).second = 98;
     }

How to detect running app using ADB command

No need to use grep. ps in Android can filter by COMM value (last 15 characters of the package name in case of java app)

Let's say we want to check if com.android.phone is running:

adb shell ps m.android.phone
USER     PID   PPID  VSIZE  RSS     WCHAN    PC         NAME
radio     1389  277   515960 33964 ffffffff 4024c270 S com.android.phone

Filtering by COMM value option has been removed from ps in Android 7.0. To check for a running process by name in Android 7.0 you can use pidof command:

adb shell pidof com.android.phone

It returns the PID if such process was found or an empty string otherwise.
