Parsing JSON from XmlHttpRequest.responseJSON

Note: I've only tested this in Chrome.

it adds a prototype function to the XMLHttpRequest .. XHR2,

in XHR 1 you probably just need to replace this.response with this.responseText

Object.defineProperty(XMLHttpRequest.prototype,'responseJSON',{value:function(){
 return JSON.parse(this.response);
},writable:false,enumerable:false});

to return the json in xhr2

xhr.onload=function(){
 console.log(this.responseJSON());
}

EDIT

If you plan to use XHR with arraybuffer or other response types then you have to check if the response is a string.

in any case you have to add more checks e.g. if it's not able to parse the json.

Object.defineProperty(XMLHttpRequest.prototype,'responseJSON',{value:function(){
 return (typeof this.response==='string'?JSON.parse(this.response):this.response);
},writable:false,enumerable:false});

Setting background-image using jQuery CSS property

You probably want this (to make it like a normal CSS background-image declaration):

$('myObject').css('background-image', 'url(' + imageUrl + ')');

How can I format decimal property to currency?

Properties can return anything they want to, but it's going to need to return the correct type.

private decimal _amount;

public string FormattedAmount
{
    get { return string.Format("{0:C}", _amount); }
}

Question was asked... what if it was a nullable decimal.

private decimal? _amount;

public string FormattedAmount
{
    get
    {
         return _amount == null ? "null" : string.Format("{0:C}", _amount.Value);
    }
}  

Using BufferedReader to read Text File

private void readFile() throws Exception {
      AsynchronousFileChannel input=AsynchronousFileChannel.open(Paths.get("E:/dicom_server_storage/abc.txt"),StandardOpenOption.READ);
      ByteBuffer buffer=ByteBuffer.allocate(1024);
      input.read(buffer,0,null,new CompletionHandler<Integer,Void>(){
        @Override public void completed(    Integer result,    Void attachment){
          System.out.println("Done reading the file.");
        }
        @Override public void failed(    Throwable exc,    Void attachment){
          System.err.println("An error occured:" + exc.getMessage());
        }
      }
    );
      System.out.println("This thread keeps on running");
      Thread.sleep(100);
    }

Test or check if sheet exists

My solution looks much like Tims but also works in case of non-worksheet sheets - charts

Public Function SheetExists(strSheetName As String, Optional wbWorkbook As Workbook) As Boolean
    If wbWorkbook Is Nothing Then Set wbWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook 'or ThisWorkbook - whichever appropriate
    Dim obj As Object
    On Error GoTo HandleError
    Set obj = wbWorkbook.Sheets(strSheetName)
    SheetExists = True
    Exit Function
HandleError:
    SheetExists = False
End Function

Get DateTime.Now with milliseconds precision

public long millis() {
  return (long.MaxValue + DateTime.Now.ToBinary()) / 10000;
}

If you want microseconds, just change 10000 to 10, and if you want the 10th of micro, delete / 10000.

Selected value for JSP drop down using JSTL

If you don't mind using jQuery you can use the code bellow:

    <script>
     $(document).ready(function(){
           $("#department").val("${requestScope.selectedDepartment}").attr('selected', 'selected');
     });
     </script>


    <select id="department" name="department">
      <c:forEach var="item" items="${dept}">
        <option value="${item.key}">${item.value}</option>
      </c:forEach>
    </select>

In the your Servlet add the following:

        request.setAttribute("selectedDepartment", YOUR_SELECTED_DEPARTMENT );

Passing parameters from jsp to Spring Controller method

Your controller method should be like this:

@RequestMapping(value = " /<your mapping>/{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String listNotes(@PathVariable("id")int id,Model model) {
    Person person = personService.getCurrentlyAuthenticatedUser();
    int id = 2323;  // Currently passing static values for testing
    model.addAttribute("person", new Person());
    model.addAttribute("listPersons", this.personService.listPersons());
    model.addAttribute("listNotes",this.notesService.listNotesBySectionId(id,person));
    return "note";
}

Use the id in your code, call the controller method from your JSP as:

/{your mapping}/{your id}

UPDATE:

Change your jsp code to:

<c:forEach items="${listNotes}" var="notices" varStatus="status">
    <tr>
        <td>${notices.noticesid}</td>
        <td>${notices.notetext}</td>
        <td>${notices.notetag}</td>
        <td>${notices.notecolor}</td>
        <td>${notices.sectionid}</td>
        <td>${notices.canvasid}</td>
        <td>${notices.canvasnName}</td>
        <td>${notices.personid}</td>
        <td><a href="<c:url value='/editnote/${listNotes[status.index].noticesid}' />" >Edit</a></td>
        <td><a href="<c:url value='/removenote/${listNotes[status.index].noticesid}' />" >Delete</a></td>
    </tr>
</c:forEach>

How to change package name in flutter?

If you don’t like changing files in such a way then alternative way would be to use this package.

https://pub.dev/packages/rename

rename --bundleId com.newpackage.appname
pub global run rename --appname "Your New App Name"

Using this, you simply run these 2 commands in your terminal and your app name and identifiers will be changed.pub global run

How can I run a php without a web server?

PHP is a normal sripting language similar to bash or python or perl. So a script with shebang works, at least on linux.

Example PHP file:

#!/usr/bin/env php

<?php

echo("Hello World!\n")

?>

How to run it:

$ chmod 755 hello.php  # do this only once
$ ./hello.php

Fastest way to check if a string is JSON in PHP?

I found this question after coming across something similar in my work, yesterday. My solution in the end was a hybrid of some of the approaches above:

function is_JSON($string) {

  return (is_null(json_decode($string, TRUE))) ? FALSE : TRUE;

}

setting JAVA_HOME & CLASSPATH in CentOS 6

I had to change /etc/profile.d/java_env.sh to point to the new path and then logout/login.

How to stop mongo DB in one command

Use mongod --shutdown

Iterate through <select> options

Another variation on the already proposed answers without jQuery.

Object.values(document.getElementById('mySelect').options).forEach(option => alert(option))

PHP save image file

No need to create a GD resource, as someone else suggested.

$input = 'http://images.websnapr.com/?size=size&key=Y64Q44QLt12u&url=http://google.com';
$output = 'google.com.jpg';
file_put_contents($output, file_get_contents($input));

Note: this solution only works if you're setup to allow fopen access to URLs. If the solution above doesn't work, you'll have to use cURL.

Scanf/Printf double variable C

As far as I read manual pages, scanf says that 'l' length modifier indicates (in case of floating points) that the argument is of type double rather than of type float, so you can have 'lf, le, lg'.

As for printing, officially, the manual says that 'l' applies only to integer types. So it might be not supported on some systems or by some standards. For instance, I get the following error message when compiling with gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic

a.c:6:1: warning: ISO C90 does not support the ‘%lf’ gnu_printf format [-Wformat=]

So you may want to doublecheck if your standard supports the syntax.

To conclude, I would say that you read with '%lf' and you print with '%f'.

How to copy text from a div to clipboard

Adding the link as an Answer to draw more attention to Aaron Lavers' comment below the first answer.

This works like a charm - http://clipboardjs.com. Just add the clipboard.js or min file. While initiating, use the class which has the html component to be clicked and just pass the id of the component with the content to be copied, to the click element.

kill a process in bash

This one is violent use with caution :

pkill -9 -e -f processname 

If your process name is "sh" it will also kill "bash"

Ruby Arrays: select(), collect(), and map()

When dealing with a hash {}, use both the key and value to the block inside the ||.

How to trigger event in JavaScript?

HTML

<a href="demoLink" id="myLink"> myLink </a>
<button onclick="fireLink(event)"> Call My Link </button>

JS

// click event listener of the link element --------------  
document.getElementById('myLink').addEventListener("click", callLink);
function callLink(e) {
    // code to fire
}

// function invoked by the button element ----------------
function fireLink(event) {                   
    document.getElementById('myLink').click();      // script calls the "click" event of the link element 
}

Write Array to Excel Range

This is an excerpt from method of mine, which converts a DataTable (the dt variable) into an array and then writes the array into a Range on a worksheet (wsh var). You can also change the topRow variable to whatever row you want the array of strings to be placed at.

object[,] arr = new object[dt.Rows.Count, dt.Columns.Count];
for (int r = 0; r < dt.Rows.Count; r++)
{
    DataRow dr = dt.Rows[r];
    for (int c = 0; c < dt.Columns.Count; c++)
    {
        arr[r, c] = dr[c];
    }
}
Excel.Range c1 = (Excel.Range)wsh.Cells[topRow, 1];
Excel.Range c2 = (Excel.Range)wsh.Cells[topRow + dt.Rows.Count - 1, dt.Columns.Count];
Excel.Range range = wsh.get_Range(c1, c2);
range.Value = arr;

Of course you do not need to use an intermediate DataTable like I did, the code excerpt is just to demonstrate how an array can be written to worksheet in single call.

Simplest way to do a recursive self-join?

Using CTEs you can do it this way

DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        PersonID INT,
        Initials VARCHAR(20),
        ParentID INT
)

INSERT INTO @Table SELECT     1,'CJ',NULL
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT     2,'EB',1
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT     3,'MB',1
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT     4,'SW',2
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT     5,'YT',NULL
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT     6,'IS',5

DECLARE @PersonID INT

SELECT @PersonID = 1

;WITH Selects AS (
        SELECT *
        FROM    @Table
        WHERE   PersonID = @PersonID
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  t.*
        FROM    @Table t INNER JOIN
                Selects s ON t.ParentID = s.PersonID
)
SELECT  *

javascript close current window

Works only in Google Chrome with self.close();. Tested in v48.

window.close() won't do what you want as the documentation for it clearly states that scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it.

Get PostGIS version

As the above people stated, select PostGIS_full_version(); will answer your question. On my machine, where I'm running PostGIS 2.0 from trunk, I get the following output:

postgres=# select PostGIS_full_version();
postgis_full_version                                                                  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTGIS="2.0.0alpha4SVN" GEOS="3.3.2-CAPI-1.7.2" PROJ="Rel. 4.7.1, 23 September 2009" GDAL="GDAL 1.8.1, released 2011/07/09" LIBXML="2.7.3" USE_STATS
(1 row)

You do need to care about the versions of PROJ and GEOS that are included if you didn't install an all-inclusive package - in particular, there's some brokenness in GEOS prior to 3.3.2 (as noted in the postgis 2.0 manual) in dealing with geometry validity.

How to downgrade Xcode to previous version?

I'm assuming you are having at least OSX 10.7, so go ahead into the applications folder (Click on Finder icon > On the Sidebar, you'll find "Applications", click on it ), delete the "Xcode" icon. That will remove Xcode from your system completely. Restart your mac.

Now go to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and download an older version of Xcode, as needed and install. You need an Apple ID to login to that portal.

What is the best/simplest way to read in an XML file in Java application?

JAXB is simple to use and is included in Java 6 SE. With JAXB, or other XML data binding such as Simple, you don't have to handle the XML yourself, most of the work is done by the library. The basic usage is to add annotation to your existing POJO. These annotation are then used to generate an XML Schema for you data and also when reading/writing your data from/to a file.

How to base64 encode image in linux bash / shell

If you need input from termial, try this

lc=`echo -n "xxx_${yyy}_iOS" |  base64`

-n option will not input "\n" character to base64 command.

Find and replace with sed in directory and sub directories

I think we can do this with one line simple command

for i in `grep -rl eth0 . 2> /dev/null`; do sed -i ‘s/eth0/eth1/’ $i; done

Refer to this page.

Type datetime for input parameter in procedure

You should use the ISO-8601 format for string representations of dates - anything else is dependent on the SQL Server language and dateformat settings.

The ISO-8601 format for a DATETIME when using only the date is: YYYYMMDD (no dashes or antyhing!)

For a DATETIME with the time portion, it's YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (with dashes, and a T in the middle to separate date and time portions).

If you want to convert a string to a DATE for SQL Server 2008 or newer, you can use YYYY-MM-DD (with the dashes) to achieve the same result. And don't ask me why this is so inconsistent and confusing - it just is, and you'll have to work with that for now.

So in your case, you should try:

declare @a datetime
declare @b datetime 

set @a = '2012-04-06T12:23:45'   -- 6th of April, 2012
set @b = '2012-08-06T21:10:12'   -- 6th of August, 2012

exec LogProcedure 'AccountLog', N'test', @a, @b

Furthermore - your stored proc has problem, since you're concatenating together datetime and string into a string, but you're not converting the datetime to string first, and also, you're forgetting the close quotes in your statement after both dates.

So change this line here to this:

IF @DateFirst <> '' and @DateLast <> ''
   SET @FinalSQL  = @FinalSQL + '  OR CONVERT(Date, DateLog) >= ''' + 
                    CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), @DateFirst, 126) +   -- convert @DateFirst to string for concatenation!
                    ''' AND CONVERT(Date, DateLog) <=''' +  -- you need closing quotes after @DateFirst!
                    CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), @DateLast, 126) + ''''      -- convert @DateLast to string and also: closing tags after that missing!

With these settings, and once you've fixed your stored procedure which contains problems right now, it will work.

AngularJS toggle class using ng-class

<div data-ng-init="featureClass=false" 
     data-ng-click="featureClass=!featureClass" 
     data-ng-class="{'active': featureClass}">
    Click me to toggle my class!
</div>

Analogous to jQuery's toggleClass method, this is a way to toggle the active class on/off when the element is clicked.

How to increase storage for Android Emulator? (INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE)

Just start emulator by command line as follow:

emulator -avd <your avd name> -partition-size 1024 -wipe-data

Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS

Just in case it helps someone, here's what caused this error for me: I needed a procedure to return json but I left out the for json path:

set @jsonout = (SELECT ID, SumLev, Census_GEOID, AreaName, Worksite 
            from CS_GEO G (nolock) 
                join @allids a on g.ID = a.[value] 
            where g.Worksite = @worksite)

When I tried to save the stored procedure, it threw the error. I fixed it by adding for json path to the code at the end of the procedure:

set @jsonout = (SELECT ID, SumLev, Census_GEOID, AreaName, Worksite 
            from CS_GEO G (nolock) 
                join @allids a on g.ID = a.[value] 
            where g.Worksite = @worksite for json path)

How to print the array?

It looks like you have a typo on your array, it should read:

int my_array[3][3] = {...

You don't have the _ or the {.

Also my_array[3][3] is an invalid location. Since computers begin counting at 0, you are accessing position 4. (Arrays are weird like that).

If you want just the last element:

printf("%d\n", my_array[2][2]);

If you want the entire array:

for(int i = 0; i < my_array.length; i++) {
  for(int j = 0; j < my_array[i].length; j++)
    printf("%d ", my_array[i][j]);
  printf("\n");
}

HTML : Pass the whole body inside on click

div class="calculate" id="calculate">
            <div class="button" id="button" onclick="myCode(this.body)"> CALCULATE ! </div>
        </div>

Then write the JavaScript code inside the function "myCode()"

function myCode()
{
    var bill = document.getElementById("currency").value ;

    var people_count = document.getElementById("number1").value;
    var select_value = document.getElementById("select").value;

    var calculate = document.getElementById("calculate");

    calculate.addEventListener("click" ,function()
    {
        console.log(bill);
        console.log(people_count);
        console.log(select_value);
    });
}

PHP foreach loop through multidimensional array

<?php
$first = reset($arr_nav); // Get the first element
$last  = end($arr_nav);   // Get the last element
// Ensure that we have a first element and that it's an array
if(is_array($first)) { 
   $first['class'] = 'first';
}
// Ensure we have a last element and that it differs from the first
if(is_array($last) && $last !== $first) {
   $last['class'] = 'last';
}

Now you could just echo the class inside you html-generator. Would probably need some kind of check to ensure that the class is set, or provide a default empty class to the array.

ERROR: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError

As per Google recent announcement, usage of the Google Maps APIs now requires a key. If you are using the Google Maps API on localhost or your domain was not active prior to June 22nd, 2016, it will require a key going forward. Please see the Google Maps APIs documentation to get a key and add it to your application.

Struct with template variables in C++

From the other answers, the problem is that you're templating a typedef. The only "way" to do this is to use a templated class; ie, basic template metaprogramming.

template<class T> class vector_Typedefs {
    /*typedef*/ struct array { //The typedef isn't necessary
        size_t x; 
        T *ary; 
    }; 

    //Any other templated typedefs you need. Think of the templated class like something
    // between a function and namespace.
}

//An advantage is:
template<> class vector_Typedefs<bool>
{
    struct array {
        //Special behavior for the binary array
    }
}

jQuery multiple conditions within if statement

A more general approach:

if ( ($("body").hasClass("homepage") || $("body").hasClass("contact")) && (theLanguage == 'en-gb') )   {

       // Do something

}

PhpMyAdmin not working on localhost

did you try 'localhost/phpmyadmin' ? (notice the lowercase)

PHPMyAdmin tends to have inconsistent directory names across its versions/distributions.

Edit: Confirm the URL by checking the name of the root folder!

If the config was the primary issue (and it may still be nthary) you would get a php error, not a http "Object not found" error,

As for the config error, here are some steps to correct it:

  1. Once you have confirmed which case your PHPMyAdmin is in, confirm that your config.inc.php is located in its root directory.

  2. If it is, rename it to something else as a backup. Then copy the config.sample.inc.php (in the same directory) and rename it to config.inc.php

  3. Check if it works.

  4. If its does, then open up both the new config.inc.php (that works) and the backup you took earlier of your old one. Compare them and copy/replace the important parts that you want to carry over, the file (in its default state) isn't that long and it should be relatively easy to do so.

N.B. If the reason that you want your old config is because of security setup that you once had, I would definitely suggest still using the security wizard built into XAMPP so that you can be assured that you have the right configuration for the right version. There is no guarantee that different XAMPP/PHPMyAdmin versions implement security/anything in the same way.

How to redirect a url in NGINX

Similar to another answer here, but change the http in the rewrite to to $scheme like so:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name test.com;
        rewrite     ^ $scheme://www.test.com$request_uri? permanent;
}

And edit your main server block server_name variable as following:

server_name  www.test.com;

I had to do this to redirect www.test.com to test.com.

Can I add an image to an ASP.NET button?

I actually prefer to use the html button form element and make it runat=server. The button element can hold other elements inside it. You can even add formatting inside it with span's or strong's. Here is an example:

<button id="BtnSave" runat="server"><img src="Images/save.png" />Save</button>

Advantages of std::for_each over for loop

Easy: for_each is useful when you already have a function to handle every array item, so you don't have to write a lambda. Certainly, this

for_each(a.begin(), a.end(), a_item_handler);

is better than

for(auto& item: a) {
    a_item_handler(a);
}

Also, ranged for loop only iterates over whole containers from start to end, whilst for_each is more flexible.

Jquery submit form

You can try like:

   $("#myformid").submit(function(){
        //perform anythng
   });

Or even you can try like

$(".nextbutton").click(function() { 
    $('#form1').submit();
});

How do I Set Background image in Flutter?

I was able to apply a background below the Scaffold (and even it's AppBar) by putting the Scaffold under a Stack and setting a Container in the first "layer" with the background image set and fit: BoxFit.cover property.

Both the Scaffold and AppBar has to have the backgroundColor set as Color.transparent and the elevation of AppBar has to be 0 (zero).

Voilà! Now you have a nice background below the whole Scaffold and AppBar! :)

How to make System.out.println() shorter

Java is a verbose language.

If you are only 3 days in, and this is already bothering you, maybe you'd be better off learning a different language like Scala:

Hello World

In a loose sense, this would qualify as using a "library" to enable shorter expressions ;)

Angular2 RC5: Can't bind to 'Property X' since it isn't a known property of 'Child Component'

If you use the Angular CLI to create your components, let's say CarComponent, it attaches app to the selector name (i.e app-car) and this throws the above error when you reference the component in the parent view. Therefore you either have to change the selector name in the parent view to let's say <app-car></app-car> or change the selector in the CarComponent to selector: 'car'

Select columns based on string match - dplyr::select

You can try:

select(data, matches("search_string"))

It is more general than contains - you can use regex (e.g. "one_string|or_the_other").

For more examples, see: http://rpackages.ianhowson.com/cran/dplyr/man/select.html.

How does one get started with procedural generation?

Procedural generation is used heavily in the demoscene to create complex graphics in a small executable. Will Wright even said that he was inspired by the demoscene while making Spore. That may be your best place to start.

Semi-transparent color layer over background-image?

You need then a wrapping element with the bg image and in it the content element with the bg color:

<div id="Wrapper">
  <div id="Content">
    <!-- content here -->
  </div>
</div>

and the css:

#Wrapper{
    background:url(../img/bg/diagonalnoise.png); 
    width:300px; 
    height:300px;
}

#Content{
    background-color:rgba(248,247,216,0.7); 
    width:100%; 
    height:100%;

How to compile makefile using MinGW?

Excerpt from http://www.mingw.org/wiki/FAQ:

What's the difference between make and mingw32-make?

The "native" (i.e.: MSVCRT dependent) port of make is lacking in some functionality and has modified functionality due to the lack of POSIX on Win32. There also exists a version of make in the MSYS distribution that is dependent on the MSYS runtime. This port operates more as make was intended to operate and gives less headaches during execution. Based on this, the MinGW developers/maintainers/packagers decided it would be best to rename the native version so that both the "native" version and the MSYS version could be present at the same time without file name collision.

So,look into C:\MinGW\bin directory and first make sure what make executable, have you installed.(make.exe or mingw32-make.exe)

Before using MinGW, you should add C:\MinGW\bin; to the PATH environment variable using the instructions mentioned at http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started/

Then cd to your directory, where you have the makefile and Try using mingw32-make.exe makefile.in or simply make.exe makefile.in(depending on executables in C:\MinGW\bin).

If you want a GUI based solution, install DevCPP IDE and then re-make.

How do I get user IP address in django?

I would like to suggest an improvement to yanchenko's answer.

Instead of taking the first ip in the X_FORWARDED_FOR list, I take the first one which in not a known internal ip, as some routers don't respect the protocol, and you can see internal ips as the first value of the list.

PRIVATE_IPS_PREFIX = ('10.', '172.', '192.', )

def get_client_ip(request):
    """get the client ip from the request
    """
    remote_address = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    # set the default value of the ip to be the REMOTE_ADDR if available
    # else None
    ip = remote_address
    # try to get the first non-proxy ip (not a private ip) from the
    # HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
    if x_forwarded_for:
        proxies = x_forwarded_for.split(',')
        # remove the private ips from the beginning
        while (len(proxies) > 0 and
                proxies[0].startswith(PRIVATE_IPS_PREFIX)):
            proxies.pop(0)
        # take the first ip which is not a private one (of a proxy)
        if len(proxies) > 0:
            ip = proxies[0]

    return ip

I hope this helps fellow Googlers who have the same problem.

WebRTC vs Websockets: If WebRTC can do Video, Audio, and Data, why do I need Websockets?

Webrtc is a part of peer to peer connection. We all know that before creating peer to peer connection, it requires handshaking process to establish peer to peer connection. And websockets play the role of handshaking process.

VBScript: Using WScript.Shell to Execute a Command Line Program That Accesses Active Directory

When you run WScript.Shell it runs under the local system account, this account has full rights on the machine, but no rights in Active Directory.

What is the difference between .text, .value, and .value2?

target.Value will give you a Variant type

target.Value2 will give you a Variant type as well but a Date is coerced to a Double

target.Text attempts to coerce to a String and will fail if the underlying Variant is not coercable to a String type

The safest thing to do is something like

Dim v As Variant
v = target.Value 'but if you don't want to handle date types use Value2

And check the type of the variant using VBA.VarType(v) before you attempt an explicit coercion.

How to get english language word database?

There's no such thing as a "complete" list. Different people have different ways of measuring -- for example, they might include slang, neologisms, multi-word phrases, offensive terms, foreign words, verb conjugations, and so on. Some people have even counted a million words! So you'll have to decide what you want in a word list.

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' with PHPMyAdmin

Here are few steps that must be followed carefully

  1. First of all make sure that the WAMP server is running if it is not running, start the server.
  2. Enter the URL http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup in address bar of your browser.
  3. Create a folder named config inside C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin, the folder inside apps may have different name like phpmyadmin3.2.0.1

  4. Return to your browser in phpmyadmin setup tab, and click New server.New server

  5. Change the authentication type to ‘cookie’ and leave the username and password field empty but if you change the authentication type to ‘config’ enter the password for username root.

  6. Click save save

  7. Again click save in configuration file option.
  8. Now navigate to the config folder. Inside the folder there will be a file named config.inc.php. Copy the file and paste it out of the folder (if the file with same name is already there then override it) and finally delete the folder.
  9. Now you are done. Try to connect the mysql server again and this time you won’t get any error. --credits Bibek Subedi

Split column at delimiter in data frame

Hadley has a very elegant solution to do this inside data frames in his reshape package, using the function colsplit.

require(reshape)
> df <- data.frame(ID=11:13, FOO=c('a|b','b|c','x|y'))
> df
  ID FOO
1 11 a|b
2 12 b|c
3 13 x|y
> df = transform(df, FOO = colsplit(FOO, split = "\\|", names = c('a', 'b')))
> df
  ID FOO.a FOO.b
1 11     a     b
2 12     b     c
3 13     x     y

How to add image for button in android?

As he stated, used the ImageButton widget. Copy your image file within the Res/drawable/ directory of your project. While in XML simply go into the graphic representation (for simplicity) of your XML file and click on your ImageButton widget that you added, go to its properties sheet and click on the [...] in the src: field. Simply navigate to your image file. Also, make sure you're using a proper format; I tend to stick with .png files for my own reasons, but they work.

Force flex item to span full row width

When you want a flex item to occupy an entire row, set it to width: 100% or flex-basis: 100%, and enable wrap on the container.

The item now consumes all available space. Siblings are forced on to other rows.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.parent {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

#range, #text {
  flex: 1;
}

.error {
  flex: 0 0 100%; /* flex-grow, flex-shrink, flex-basis */
  border: 1px dashed black;
}
_x000D_
<div class="parent">
  <input type="range" id="range">
  <input type="text" id="text">
  <label class="error">Error message (takes full width)</label>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

More info: The initial value of the flex-wrap property is nowrap, which means that all items will line up in a row. MDN

remove None value from a list without removing the 0 value

>>> L = [0, 23, 234, 89, None, 0, 35, 9]
>>> [x for x in L if x is not None]
[0, 23, 234, 89, 0, 35, 9]

Just for fun, here's how you can adapt filter to do this without using a lambda, (I wouldn't recommend this code - it's just for scientific purposes)

>>> from operator import is_not
>>> from functools import partial
>>> L = [0, 23, 234, 89, None, 0, 35, 9]
>>> filter(partial(is_not, None), L)
[0, 23, 234, 89, 0, 35, 9]

What is the difference between "SMS Push" and "WAP Push"?

An SMS Push is a message to tell the terminal to initiate the session. This happens because you can't initiate an IP session simply because you don't know the IP Adress of the mobile terminal. Mostly used to send a few lines of data to end recipient, to the effect of sending information, or reminding of events.

WAP Push is an SMS within the header of which is included a link to a WAP address. On receiving a WAP Push, the compatible mobile handset automatically gives the user the option to access the WAP content on his handset. The WAP Push directs the end-user to a WAP address where content is stored ready for viewing or downloading onto the handset. This wap address may be a page or a WAP site.

The user may “take action” by using a developer-defined soft-key to immediately activate an application to accomplish a specific task, such as downloading a picture, making a purchase, or responding to a marketing offer.

How to put a new line into a wpf TextBlock control?

Insert a "line break" or a "paragraph break" in a RichTextBox "rtb" like this:

var range = new TextRange(rtb.SelectionStart, rtb.Selection.End); 
range.Start.Paragraph.ContentStart.InsertLineBreak();
range.Start.Paragraph.ContentStart.InsertParagraphBreak();

The only way to get the NewLine items is by inserting text with "\r\n" items first, and then applying more code which works on Selection and/or TextRange objects. This makes sure that the \par items are converted to \line items, are saved as desired, and are still correct when reopening the *.Rtf file. That is what I found so far after hard tries. My three code lines need to be surrounded by more code (with loops) to set the TextPointer items (.Start .End .ContentStart .ContentEnd) where the Lines and Breaks should go, which I have done with success for my purposes.

Jquery: Find Text and replace

try this,

$('#id1').html($('#id1').html().replace('dogsss','dollsss'));

working sample

I need to know how to get my program to output the word i typed in and also the new rearranged word using a 2D array

  1. What exactly doesn't work?
  2. Why are you using a 2d array?
  3. If you must use a 2d array:

    int numOfPairs = 10;  String[][] array = new String[numOfPairs][2]; for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){     for(int j = 0; j < array[i].length; j++){         array[i] = new String[2];         array[i][0] = "original word";         array[i][1] = "rearranged word";     }    } 

Does this give you a hint?

How do I obtain the frequencies of each value in an FFT?

I have used the following:

public static double Index2Freq(int i, double samples, int nFFT) {
  return (double) i * (samples / nFFT / 2.);
}

public static int Freq2Index(double freq, double samples, int nFFT) {
  return (int) (freq / (samples / nFFT / 2.0));
}

The inputs are:

  • i: Bin to access
  • samples: Sampling rate in Hertz (i.e. 8000 Hz, 44100Hz, etc.)
  • nFFT: Size of the FFT vector

Determine the data types of a data frame's columns

I would suggest

sapply(foo, typeof)

if you need the actual types of the vectors in the data frame. class() is somewhat of a different beast.

If you don't need to get this information as a vector (i.e. you don't need it to do something else programmatically later), just use str(foo).

In both cases foo would be replaced with the name of your data frame.

How to automatically update your docker containers, if base-images are updated

I had the same issue and thought it can be simply solved by a cron job calling unattended-upgrade daily.

My intention is to have this as an automatic and quick solution to ensure that production container is secure and updated because it can take me sometime to update my images and deploy a new docker image with the latest security updates.

It is also possible to automate the image build and deployment with Github hooks

I've created a basic docker image with that automatically checks and installs security updates daily (can run directly by docker run itech/docker-unattended-upgrade ).

I also came across another different approach to check if the container needs an update.

My complete implementation:

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:14.04   

RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y supervisor unattended-upgrades \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

COPY install /install
RUN chmod 755 install
RUN /install

COPY start /start
RUN chmod 755 /start

Helper scripts

install

#!/bin/bash
set -e

cat > /etc/supervisor/conf.d/cron.conf <<EOF
[program:cron]
priority=20
directory=/tmp
command=/usr/sbin/cron -f
user=root
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
EOF

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

ENTRYPOINT ["/start"]

start

#!/bin/bash

set -e

echo "Adding crontab for unattended-upgrade ..."
echo "0 0 * * * root /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade" >> /etc/crontab

# can also use @daily syntax or use /etc/cron.daily

echo "Starting supervisord ..."
exec /usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf

Edit

I developed a small tool docker-run that runs as docker container and can be used to update packages inside all or selected running containers, it can also be used to run any arbitrary commands.

Can be easily tested with the following command:

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock itech/docker-run exec

which by default will execute date command in all running containers and display the results. If you pass update instead of exec it will execute apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade -y in all running containers

AngularJS: Can't I set a variable value on ng-click?

While @tymeJV gave a correct answer, the way to do this to be inline with angular would be:

ng-click="hidePrefs()"

and then in your controller:

$scope.hidePrefs = function() {  
  $scope.prefs = false;
}

How do I copy a string to the clipboard?

Not all of the answers worked for my various python configurations so this solution only uses the subprocess module. However, copy_keyword has to be pbcopy for Mac or clip for Windows:

import subprocess
subprocess.run('copy_keyword', universal_newlines=True, input='New Clipboard Value ')

Here's some more extensive code that automatically checks what the current operating system is:

import platform
import subprocess

copy_string = 'New Clipboard Value '

# Check which operating system is running to get the correct copying keyword.
if platform.system() == 'Darwin':
    copy_keyword = 'pbcopy'
elif platform.system() == 'Windows':
    copy_keyword = 'clip'

subprocess.run(copy_keyword, universal_newlines=True, input=copy_string)

How to process each output line in a loop?

You can do the following while read loop, that will be fed by the result of the grep command using the so called process substitution:

while IFS= read -r result
do
    #whatever with value $result
done < <(grep "xyz" abc.txt)

This way, you don't have to store the result in a variable, but directly "inject" its output to the loop.


Note the usage of IFS= and read -r according to the recommendations in BashFAQ/001: How can I read a file (data stream, variable) line-by-line (and/or field-by-field)?:

The -r option to read prevents backslash interpretation (usually used as a backslash newline pair, to continue over multiple lines or to escape the delimiters). Without this option, any unescaped backslashes in the input will be discarded. You should almost always use the -r option with read.

In the scenario above IFS= prevents trimming of leading and trailing whitespace. Remove it if you want this effect.

Regarding the process substitution, it is explained in the bash hackers page:

Process substitution is a form of redirection where the input or output of a process (some sequence of commands) appear as a temporary file.

Adding a favicon to a static HTML page

Most browsers will pick up favicon.ico from the root directory of the site without needing to be told; but they don't always update it with a new one right away.

However, I usually go for the second of your examples:

<link rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon' href='/favicon.ico' />

How to publish a website made by Node.js to Github Pages?

I was able to set up github actions to automatically commit the results of a node build command (yarn build in my case but it should work with npm too) to the gh-pages branch whenever a new commit is pushed to master.

While not completely ideal as i'd like to avoid committing the built files, it seems like this is currently the only way to publish to github pages.

I based my workflow off of this guide for a different react library, and had to make the following changes to get it to work for me:

  • updated the "setup node" step to use the version found here since the one from the sample i was basing it off of was throwing errors because it could not find the correct action.
  • remove the line containing yarn export because that command does not exist and it doesn't seem to add anything helpful (you may also want to change the build line above it to suit your needs)
  • I also added an env directive to the yarn build step so that I can include the SHA hash of the commit that generated the build inside my app, but this is optional

Here is my full github action:

name: github pages

on:
    push:
        branches:
        - master

jobs:
    deploy:
        runs-on: ubuntu-18.04

Alternative solution

The docs for next.js also provides instructions for setting up with Vercel which appears to be a hosting service for node.js apps similar to github pages. I have not tried this though and so cannot speak to how well it works.

remove attribute display:none; so the item will be visible

The removeAttr() function only removes HTML attributes. The display is not a HTML attribute, it's a CSS property. You'd like to use css() function instead to manage CSS properties.

But jQuery offers a show() function which does exactly what you want in a concise call:

$("span").show();

How to use the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings is actually a property, so you need to use square brackets.

Overall, here's what you need to do:

SqlConnection con= new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]);

The problem is that you tried to set con to a string, which is not correct. You have to either pass it to the constructor or set con.ConnectionString property.

Difference between long and int data types

On platforms where they both have the same size the answer is nothing. They both represent signed 4 byte values.

However you cannot depend on this being true. The size of long and int are not definitively defined by the standard. It's possible for compilers to give the types different sizes and hence break this assumption.

what is trailing whitespace and how can I handle this?

This is just a warning and it doesn't make problem for your project to run, you can just ignore it and continue coding. But if you're obsessed about clean coding, same as me, you have two options:

  2. Press f1 then type trim trailing whitespace.

Set width of a "Position: fixed" div relative to parent div

Fixed positioning is supposed to define everything in relation to the viewport, so position:fixed is always going to do that. Try using position:relative on the child div instead. (I realize you might need the fixed positioning for other reasons, but if so - you can't really make the width match it's parent with out JS without inherit)

Set a cookie to HttpOnly via Javascript

An HttpOnly cookie means that it's not available to scripting languages like JavaScript. So in JavaScript, there's absolutely no API available to get/set the HttpOnly attribute of the cookie, as that would otherwise defeat the meaning of HttpOnly.

Just set it as such on the server side using whatever server side language the server side is using. If JavaScript is absolutely necessary for this, you could consider to just let it send some (ajax) request with e.g. some specific request parameter which triggers the server side language to create an HttpOnly cookie. But, that would still make it easy for hackers to change the HttpOnly by just XSS and still have access to the cookie via JS and thus make the HttpOnly on your cookie completely useless.

How to configure welcome file list in web.xml

Its based on from which file you are trying to access those files.

If it is in the same folder where your working project file is, then you can use just the file name. no need of path.

If it is in the another folder which is under the same parent folder of your working project file then you can use location like in the following /javascript/sample.js

In your example if you are trying to access your js file from your html file you can use the following location

../javascript/sample.js

the prefix../ will go to the parent folder of the file(Folder upward journey)

How to break out of the IF statement

Another way starting from c# 7.0 would be using local functions. You could name the local function with a meaningful name, and call it directly before declaring it (for clarity). Here is your example rewritten:

public void Method()
{
    // Some code here
    bool something = true, something2 = true;

    DoSomething();
    void DoSomething()
    {
        if (something)
        {
            //some code
            if (something2)
            {
                // now I should break from ifs and go to te code outside ifs
                return;
            }
            return;
        }
    }

    // The code i want to go if the second if is true
    // More code here
}

Limiting double to 3 decimal places

Good answers above- if you're looking for something reusable here is the code. Note that you might want to check the decimal places value, and this may overflow.

public static decimal TruncateToDecimalPlace(this decimal numberToTruncate, int decimalPlaces)
{
    decimal power = (decimal)(Math.Pow(10.0, (double)decimalPlaces));

    return Math.Truncate((power * numberToTruncate)) / power;
}

How to use jQuery in chrome extension?

You have to add your jquery script to your chrome-extension project and to the background section of your manifest.json like this :

  "background":
    {
        "scripts": ["thirdParty/jquery-2.0.3.js", "background.js"]
    }

If you need jquery in a content_scripts, you have to add it in the manifest too:

"content_scripts": 
    [
        {
            "matches":["http://website*"],
            "js":["thirdParty/jquery.1.10.2.min.js", "script.js"],
            "css": ["css/style.css"],
            "run_at": "document_end"
        }
    ]

This is what I did.

Also, if I recall correctly, the background scripts are executed in a background window that you can open via chrome://extensions.

Comparing Dates in Oracle SQL

Conclusion,

to_char works in its own way

So,

Always use this format YYYY-MM-DD for comparison instead of MM-DD-YY or DD-MM-YYYY or any other format

XSLT getting last element

You need to put the last() indexing on the nodelist result, rather than as part of the selection criteria. Try:

(//element[@name='D'])[last()]

While loop in batch

@echo off

set countfiles=10

:loop

set /a countfiles -= 1

echo hi

if %countfiles% GTR 0 goto loop

pause

on the first "set countfiles" the 10 you see is the amount it will loop the echo hi is the thing you want to loop

How can I rename column in laravel using migration?

Follow these steps, respectively for rename column migration file.

1- Is there Doctrine/dbal library in your project. If you don't have run the command first

composer require doctrine/dbal

2- create update migration file for update old migration file. Warning (need to have the same name)

php artisan make:migration update_oldFileName_table

for example my old migration file name: create_users_table update file name should : update_users_table

3- update_oldNameFile_table.php

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->renameColumn('from', 'to');
});

'from' my old column name and 'to' my new column name

4- Finally run the migrate command

php artisan migrate

Why do we need to install gulp globally and locally?

TLDR; Here's why:

The reason this works is because gulp tries to run your gulpfile.js using your locally installed version of gulp, see here. Hence the reason for a global and local install of gulp.

Essentially, when you install gulp locally the script isn't in your PATH and so you can't just type gulp and expect the shell to find the command. By installing it globally the gulp script gets into your PATH because the global node/bin/ directory is most likely on your path.

To respect your local dependencies though, gulp will use your locally installed version of itself to run the gulpfile.js.

ImportError: No module named pandas

If you are running python version 3.9 pandas wont work as of now. So install python version 3.7 or below to mitigate this issue. Or else if you want to stick with python 3.9 try install pandas by compiling the library

Git push results in "Authentication Failed"

For me, I forgot that I had changed the password on Github.com, and my keychain for shell authentication never updated to that new password. Deleting everything git from my keychain and then re-running the git request helped solve the issue, prompting me again for the new password.

How to run .APK file on emulator

You need to install the APK on the emulator. You can do this with the adb command line tool that is included in the Android SDK.

adb -e install -r yourapp.apk

Once you've done that you should be able to run the app.

The -e and -r flags might not be necessary. They just specify that you are using an emulator (if you also have a device connected) and that you want to replace the app if it already exists.

Git add all files modified, deleted, and untracked?

The following answer only applies to Git version 1.x, but to Git version 2.x.

You want git add -A:

git add -A stages All;

git add . stages new and modified, without deleted;

git add -u stages modified and deleted, without new.

How can I disable editing cells in a WPF Datagrid?

The WPF DataGrid has an IsReadOnly property that you can set to True to ensure that users cannot edit your DataGrid's cells.

You can also set this value for individual columns in your DataGrid as needed.

How to animate RecyclerView items when they appear

I animated fading in of Recyclerview items when they first appear as shown in the code below. Perhaps this will be of use to someone.

private final static int FADE_DURATION = 1000; //FADE_DURATION in milliseconds

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {

    holder.getTextView().setText("some text");

    // Set the view to fade in
    setFadeAnimation(holder.itemView);            
}

private void setFadeAnimation(View view) {
    AlphaAnimation anim = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
    anim.setDuration(FADE_DURATION);
    view.startAnimation(anim);
}

You can also replace setFadeAnimation() with the following setScaleAnimation() to animate appearance of items by scaling them from a point:

private void setScaleAnimation(View view) {
    ScaleAnimation anim = new ScaleAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
    anim.setDuration(FADE_DURATION);
    view.startAnimation(anim);
}

The code above has some warts in so far as when you scroll the RecyclerView items always fade or scale. If you wish you can add code to just allow the animation to happen when the fragment or activity containing the RecyclerView is first created (e.g. get the system time on creation and only allow animation for the first FADE_DURATION milliseconds).

How to use count and group by at the same select statement

I know this is an old post, in SQL Server:

select  isnull(town,'TOTAL') Town, count(*) cnt
from    user
group by town WITH ROLLUP

Any way to make plot points in scatterplot more transparent in R?

Otherwise, you have function alpha in package scales in which you can directly input your vector of colors (even if they are factors as in your example):

library(scales)
cols <- cut(z, 6, labels = c("pink", "red", "yellow", "blue", "green", "purple"))
plot(x, y, main= "Fragment recruitment plot - FR-HIT", 
     ylab = "Percent identity", xlab = "Base pair position", 
     col = alpha(cols, 0.4), pch=16) 
# For an alpha of 0.4, i. e. an opacity of 40%.

Difference between the 'controller', 'link' and 'compile' functions when defining a directive

As complement to Mark's answer, the compile function does not have access to scope, but the link function does.

I really recommend this video; Writing Directives by Misko Hevery (the father of AngularJS), where he describes differences and some techniques. (Difference between compile function and link function at 14:41 mark in the video).

Plain Old CLR Object vs Data Transfer Object

DTO classes are used to serialize/deserialize data from different sources. When you want to deserialize a object from a source, does not matter what external source it is: service, file, database etc. you may be only want to use some part of that but you want an easy way to deserialize that data to an object. after that you copy that data to the XModel you want to use. A serializer is a beautiful technology to load DTO objects. Why? you only need one function to load (deserialize) the object.

Hibernate: best practice to pull all lazy collections

Not the best solution, but here is what I got:

1) Annotate getter you want to initialize with this annotation:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Lazy {

}

2) Use this method (can be put in a generic class, or you can change T with Object class) on a object after you read it from database:

    public <T> void forceLoadLazyCollections(T entity) {

    Session session = getSession().openSession();
    Transaction tx = null;
    try {

        tx = session.beginTransaction();
        session.refresh(entity);
        if (entity == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Entity is null!");
        }
        for (Method m : entityClass.getMethods()) {

            Lazy annotation = m.getAnnotation(Lazy.class);
            if (annotation != null) {
                m.setAccessible(true);
                logger.debug(" method.invoke(obj, arg1, arg2,...); {} field", m.getName());
                try {
                    Hibernate.initialize(m.invoke(entity));
                }
                catch (Exception e) {
                    logger.warn("initialization exception", e);
                }
            }
        }

    }
    finally {
        session.close();
    }
}

Do I need to explicitly call the base virtual destructor?

No. Unlike other virtual methods, where you would explicitly call the Base method from the Derived to 'chain' the call, the compiler generates code to call the destructors in the reverse order in which their constructors were called.

Should I use SVN or Git?

After doing more research, and reviewing this link: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/articles/g/i/t/GitSvnComparison_cb82.html

(Some extracts below):

  • It's incredibly fast. No other SCM that I have used has been able to keep up with it, and I've used a lot, including Subversion, Perforce, darcs, BitKeeper, ClearCase and CVS.
  • It's fully distributed. The repository owner can't dictate how I work. I can create branches and commit changes while disconnected on my laptop, then later synchronize that with any number of other repositories.
  • Synchronization can occur over many media. An SSH channel, over HTTP via WebDAV, by FTP, or by sending emails holding patches to be applied by the recipient of the message. A central repository isn't necessary, but can be used.
  • Branches are even cheaper than they are in Subversion. Creating a branch is as simple as writing a 41 byte file to disk. Deleting a branch is as simple as deleting that file.
  • Unlike Subversion branches carry along their complete history. without having to perform a strange copy and walk through the copy. When using Subversion I always found it awkward to look at the history of a file on branch that occurred before the branch was created. from #git: spearce: I don't understand one thing about SVN in the page. I made a branch i SVN and browsing the history showed the whole history a file in the branch
  • Branch merging is simpler and more automatic in Git. In Subversion you need to remember what was the last revision you merged from so you can generate the correct merge command. Git does this automatically, and always does it right. Which means there's less chance of making a mistake when merging two branches together.
  • Branch merges are recorded as part of the proper history of the repository. If I merge two branches together, or if I merge a branch back into the trunk it came from, that merge operation is recorded as part of the repostory history as having been performed by me, and when. It's hard to dispute who performed the merge when it's right there in the log.
  • Creating a repository is a trivial operation: mkdir foo; cd foo; git init That's it. Which means I create a Git repository for everything these days. I tend to use one repository per class. Most of those repositories are under 1 MB in disk as they only store lecture notes, homework assignments, and my LaTeX answers.
  • The repository's internal file formats are incredible simple. This means repair is very easy to do, but even better because it's so simple its very hard to get corrupted. I don't think anyone has ever had a Git repository get corrupted. I've seen Subversion with fsfs corrupt itself. And I've seen Berkley DB corrupt itself too many times to trust my code to the bdb backend of Subversion.
  • Git's file format is very good at compressing data, despite it's a very simple format. The Mozilla project's CVS repository is about 3 GB; it's about 12 GB in Subversion's fsfs format. In Git it's around 300 MB.

After reading all this, I'm convinced that Git is the way to go (although a little bit of learning curve exists). I have used Git and SVN on Windows platforms as well.

I'd love to hear what others have to say after reading the above?

How to use an environment variable inside a quoted string in Bash

Note that COLUMNS is:

  1. NOT an environment variable. It is an ordinary bash parameter that is set by bash itself.
  2. Set automatically upon receipt of a SIGWINCH signal.

That second point usually means that your COLUMNS variable will only be set in your interactive shell, not in a bash script.

If your script's stdin is connected to your terminal you can manually look up the width of your terminal by asking your terminal:

tput cols

And to use this in your SVN command:

svn diff "$@" --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x "-y -w -p -W $(tput cols)"

(Note: you should quote "$@" and stay away from eval ;-))

CSS: Responsive way to center a fluid div (without px width) while limiting the maximum width?

Something like this could be it?

HTML

 <div class="random">
        SOMETHING
 </div>

CSS

body{

    text-align: center;
}

.random{

    width: 60%;
    margin: auto;
    background-color: yellow;
    display:block;

}

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/t5Pp2/2/

Edit: adding display:block doesn't ruin the thing, so...

You can also set the margin to: margin: 0 auto 0 auto; just to be sure it centers only this way not from the top too.

Can anyone explain python's relative imports?

If you are going to call relative.py directly and i.e. if you really want to import from a top level module you have to explicitly add it to the sys.path list.
Here is how it should work:

# Add this line to the beginning of relative.py file
import sys
sys.path.append('..')

# Now you can do imports from one directory top cause it is in the sys.path
import parent

# And even like this:
from parent import Parent

If you think the above can cause some kind of inconsistency you can use this instead:

sys.path.append(sys.path[0] + "/..")

sys.path[0] refers to the path that the entry point was ran from.

Service located in another namespace

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

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

To list out all your namespaces you can use:

kubectl get namespace

And for service in that namespace you can simply use:

kubectl get services -n <namespace-name>

this will help you.

lvalue required as left operand of assignment

if (strcmp("hello", "hello") = 0)

Is trying to assign 0 to function return value which isn't lvalue.

Function return values are not lvalue (no storage for it), so any attempt to assign value to something that is not lvalue result in error.

Best practice to avoid such mistakes in if conditions is to use constant value on left side of comparison, so even if you use "=" instead "==", constant being not lvalue will immediately give error and avoid accidental value assignment and causing false positive if condition.

Difference between a user and a schema in Oracle?

From WikiAnswers:

  • A schema is collection of database objects, including logical structures such as tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, synonyms, indexes, clusters, and database links.
  • A user owns a schema.
  • A user and a schema have the same name.
  • The CREATE USER command creates a user. It also automatically creates a schema for that user.
  • The CREATE SCHEMA command does not create a "schema" as it implies, it just allows you to create multiple tables and views and perform multiple grants in your own schema in a single transaction.
  • For all intents and purposes you can consider a user to be a schema and a schema to be a user.

Furthermore, a user can access objects in schemas other than their own, if they have permission to do so.

json_encode/json_decode - returns stdClass instead of Array in PHP

Although, as mentioned, you could add a second parameter here to indicate you want an array returned:

$array = json_decode($json, true);

Many people might prefer to cast the results instead:

$array = (array)json_decode($json);

It might be more clear to read.

Can you use if/else conditions in CSS?

I've devised the below demo using a mix of tricks which allows simulating if/else scenarios for some properties. Any property which is numerical in its essence is easy target for this method, but properties with text values are.

This code has 3 if/else scenarios, for opacity, background color & width. All 3 are governed by two Boolean variables bool and its opposite notBool.

Those two Booleans are the key to this method, and to achieve a Boolean out of a none-boolean dynamic value, requires some math which luckily CSS allows using min & max functions.

Obviously those functions (min/max) are supported in recent browsers' versions which also supports CSS custom properties (variables).

label{ --width: 150 }
input:checked + div{ --width: 400 }

div{
  --isWide: Clamp(0,   (var(--width) - 150) * 99999  , 1);
  width: calc(var(--width) * 1px);
  height: 150px;
  border-radius: calc(var(--isWide) * 20px); /* if wide - add radius */
  background: lightgreen;
}
_x000D_
<label>
<input type='checkbox' hidden> 
<div>Click to toggle width</div>
</label>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Best so far:

I have come up with a totally unique method, which is even simpler!

This method is so cool because it is so easy to implement and also to understand. it is based on animation step() function.

Since bool can be easily calculated as either 0 or 1, this value can be used in the step! if only a single step is defined, then the if/else problem is solved.

Using the keyword forwards persist the changes.

Blur or dim background when Android PopupWindow active

You can use android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" to do that. Create an activity and in your AndroidManifest.xml define the activity as:

    <activity android:name=".activities.YourActivity"
              android:label="@string/your_activity_label"
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">

How do you serialize a model instance in Django?

It doesn't seem you can serialize an instance, you'd have to serialize a QuerySet of one object.

from django.core import serializers
from models import *

def getUser(request):
    return HttpResponse(json(Users.objects.filter(id=88)))

I run out of the svn release of django, so this may not be in earlier versions.

How to set a bitmap from resource

Using this function you can get Image Bitmap. Just pass image url

 public Bitmap getBitmapFromURL(String strURL) {
      try {
        URL url = new URL(strURL);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoInput(true);
        connection.connect();
        InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
        Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
        return myBitmap;
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
      }
 }

How to calculate the sum of the datatable column in asp.net?

If you have a ADO.Net DataTable you could do

int sum = 0;
foreach(DataRow dr in dataTable.Rows)
{
   sum += Convert.ToInt32(dr["Amount"]);
}

If you want to query the database table, you could use

Select Sum(Amount) From DataTable

conflicting types for 'outchar'

In C, the order that you define things often matters. Either move the definition of outchar to the top, or provide a prototype at the top, like this:

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>  void outchar(char ch);  int main() {     outchar('A');     outchar('B');     outchar('C');     return 0; }  void outchar(char ch) {     printf("%c", ch); } 

Also, you should be specifying the return type of every function. I added that for you.

How to get complete month name from DateTime

You can use Culture to get month name for your country like:

System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ar-EG");
string FormatDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd., MMM dd yyyy, hh:MM tt", culture);

Sending intent to BroadcastReceiver from adb

You need not specify receiver. You can use adb instead.

adb shell am broadcast -a com.whereismywifeserver.intent.TEST 
--es sms_body "test from adb"

For more arguments such as integer extras, see the documentation.

Can I use conditional statements with EJS templates (in JMVC)?

Yes , You can use conditional statement with EJS like if else , ternary operator or even switch case also

For Example

Ternary operator : <%- role == 'Admin' ? 'Super Admin' : role == 'subAdmin' ? 'Sub Admin' : role %>

Switch Case

<% switch (role) {
case 'Admin' : %>
        Super Admin
        <% break;

case 'eventAdmin' : %>
        Event Admin
        <% break;

case 'subAdmin' : %>
        Sub Admin
        <% break;

} %>

invalid command code ., despite escaping periods, using sed

Probably your new domain contain / ? If so, try using separator other than / in sed, e.g. #, , etc.

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's#192.168.20.1#new.domain.com#' {} \;

It would also be good to enclose s/// in single quote rather than double quote to avoid variable substitution or any other unexpected behaviour

Get user info via Google API

I'm using PHP and solved this by using version 1.1.4 of google-api-php-client

Assuming the following code is used to redirect a user to the Google authentication page:

 $client = new Google_Client();
 $client->setAuthConfigFile('/path/to/config/file/here');
 $client->setRedirectUri('https://redirect/url/here');
 $client->setAccessType('offline'); //optional
 $client->setScopes(['profile']); //or email
 $auth_url = $client->createAuthUrl();
 header('Location: ' . filter_var($auth_url, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
 exit();

Assuming a valid authentication code is returned to the redirect_url, the following will generate a token from the authentication code as well as provide basic profile information:

 //assuming a successful authentication code is return
 $authentication_code = 'code-returned-by-google';
 $client = new Google_Client();
 //.... configure $client object code goes here
 $client->authenticate($authentication_code);
 $token_data = $client->getAccessToken();

 //get user email address
 $google_oauth =new Google_Service_Oauth2($client);
 $google_account_email = $google_oauth->userinfo->get()->email;
 //$google_oauth->userinfo->get()->familyName;
 //$google_oauth->userinfo->get()->givenName;
 //$google_oauth->userinfo->get()->name;
 //$google_oauth->userinfo->get()->gender;
 //$google_oauth->userinfo->get()->picture; //profile picture

However, location is not returned. New YouTube accounts don't have YouTube specific usernames

Adding backslashes without escaping [Python]

The result '\\&' is only displayed - actually the string is \&:

>>> str = '&'
>>> new_str = str.replace('&', '\&')
>>> new_str
'\\&'
>>> print new_str
\&

Try it in a shell.

Navigation bar show/hide

This code will help you.

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] 
initWithTarget:self action:@selector(showHideNavbar:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];

-(void) showHideNavbar:(id) sender 
{ 
// write code to show/hide nav bar here 
// check if the Navigation Bar is shown
if (self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden == NO)
{
// hide the Navigation Bar
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
}
// if Navigation Bar is already hidden
else if (self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden == YES)
{
// Show the Navigation Bar
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
}
}

How do I auto-resize an image to fit a 'div' container?

The simplest way to do this is by using object-fit:

<div class="container">
  <img src="path/to/image.jpg">
</div>

.container{
   height: 300px;
}

.container img{
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}

If you're using Bootstrap, just add the img-responsive class and change to

.container img{
    object-fit: cover;
}

What is the main difference between PATCH and PUT request?

According to HTTP terms, The PUT request is just-like a database update statement. PUT - is used for modifying existing resource (Previously POSTED). On the other hand the PATCH request is used to update some portion of existing resource.

For Example:

Customer Details:

// This is just a example.

firstName = "James";
lastName = "Anderson";
email = "[email protected]";
phoneNumber = "+92 1234567890";
//..

When we want to update to entire record ? we have to use Http PUT verb for that.

such as:

// Customer Details Updated.

firstName = "James++++";
lastName = "Anderson++++";
email = "[email protected]";
phoneNumber = "+92 0987654321";
//..

On the other hand if we want to update only the portion of the record not the entire record then go for Http PATCH verb. such as:

   // Only Customer firstName and lastName is Updated.

    firstName = "Updated FirstName";
    lastName = "Updated LastName";
   //..

PUT VS POST:

When using PUT request we have to send all parameter such as firstName, lastName, email, phoneNumber Where as In patch request only send the parameters which one we want to update and it won't effecting or changing other data.

How can I convert String[] to ArrayList<String>

List myList = new ArrayList();
Collections.addAll(myList, filesOrig); 

What is a web service endpoint?

In past projects I worked on, the endpoint was a relative property. That is to say it may or may not have been appended to, but it always contained the protocol://host:port/partOfThePath.

If the service being called had a dynamic part to it, for example a ?param=dynamicValue, then that part would get added to the endpoint. But many times the endpoint could be used as is without having to be amended.

Whats important to understand is what an endpoint is not and how it helps. For example an alternative way to pass the information stored in an endpoint would be to store the different parts of the endpoint in separate properties. For example:

hostForServiceA=someIp
portForServiceA=8080
pathForServiceA=/some/service/path
hostForServiceB=someIp
portForServiceB=8080
pathForServiceB=/some/service/path

Or if the same host and port across multiple services:

host=someIp
port=8080
pathForServiceA=/some/service/path
pathForServiceB=/some/service/path

In those cases the full URL would need to be constructed in your code as such:

String url = "http://" + host + ":" + port + pathForServiceA  + "?" + dynamicParam + "=" + dynamicValue;

In contract this can be stored as an endpoint as such

serviceAEndpoint=http://host:port/some/service/path?dynamicParam=

And yes many times we stored the endpoint up to and including the '='. This lead to code like this:

String url = serviceAEndpoint + dynamicValue;

Hope that sheds some light.

jQuery UI Sortable Position

Use update instead of stop

http://api.jqueryui.com/sortable/

update( event, ui )

Type: sortupdate

This event is triggered when the user stopped sorting and the DOM position has changed.

Type: sortstop

This event is triggered when sorting has stopped. event Type: Event

When is std::weak_ptr useful?

I see std::weak_ptr<T> as a handle to a std::shared_ptr<T>: It allows me to get the std::shared_ptr<T> if it still exists, but it will not extend its lifetime. There are several scenarios when such point of view is useful:

// Some sort of image; very expensive to create.
std::shared_ptr< Texture > texture;

// A Widget should be able to quickly get a handle to a Texture. On the
// other hand, I don't want to keep Textures around just because a widget
// may need it.

struct Widget {
    std::weak_ptr< Texture > texture_handle;
    void render() {
        if (auto texture = texture_handle.get(); texture) {
            // do stuff with texture. Warning: `texture`
            // is now extending the lifetime because it
            // is a std::shared_ptr< Texture >.
        } else {
            // gracefully degrade; there's no texture.
        }
    }
};

Another important scenario is to break cycles in data structures.

// Asking for trouble because a node owns the next node, and the next node owns
// the previous node: memory leak; no destructors automatically called.
struct Node {
    std::shared_ptr< Node > next;
    std::shared_ptr< Node > prev;
};

// Asking for trouble because a parent owns its children and children own their
// parents: memory leak; no destructors automatically called.
struct Node {
    std::shared_ptr< Node > parent;
    std::shared_ptr< Node > left_child;
    std::shared_ptr< Node > right_child;
};

// Better: break dependencies using a std::weak_ptr (but not best way to do it;
// see Herb Sutter's talk).
struct Node {
    std::shared_ptr< Node > next;
    std::weak_ptr< Node > prev;
};

// Better: break dependencies using a std::weak_ptr (but not best way to do it;
// see Herb Sutter's talk).
struct Node {
    std::weak_ptr< Node > parent;
    std::shared_ptr< Node > left_child;
    std::shared_ptr< Node > right_child;
};

Herb Sutter has an excellent talk that explains the best use of language features (in this case smart pointers) to ensure Leak Freedom by Default (meaning: everything clicks in place by construction; you can hardly screw it up). It is a must watch.

How do I configure HikariCP in my Spring Boot app in my application.properties files?

So it turns out that almost all the default settings for HikariCP work for me except the number of DB connections. I set that property in my application.properties:

spring.datasource.maximumPoolSize=20

And Andy Wilkinson is correct as far as I can tell in that you can't use the dataSourceClassName configuration approach for HikariCP with Spring Boot.

How to increase IDE memory limit in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac?

Download TS files from video stream

I made some changes to dina's answer to avoid attempting to download/combine 1200 parts if there aren't that many.

I also found it helpful to sort by waterfall in the network tab of chrome. This will sort by the time the files are downloaded, so when you are streaming a video the most recently downloaded parts will be at the top, making it easy to find the .ts links.

#!/bin/bash

# Name of the containing folder
GROUP="My Videos"

# Example link: https://vids.net/ABCAED/AADDCDE/m3u8/AADDCDE/AADDCDE_0.ts
# Insert below as: https://vids.net/ABCAED/AADDCDE/m3u8/AADDCDE/AADDCDE

# INSERT LINKS TO VIDEOS HERE
LINK=(
'Title for the video link'
'https://vids.net/ABCAED/AADDCDE/m3u8/AADDCDE/AADDCDE'
'Title for the next video'
'https://vids.net/EECEADFE/EECEADFE/m3u8/EECEADFE/EECEADFE'
)

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir "$GROUP"
cd "$GROUP"

I=0
while [ $I -lt ${#LINK[@]} ]
do
  # create folder for streaming media
  TITLE=${LINK[$I]}
  mkdir "$TITLE"
  cd "$TITLE"
  mkdir 'parts'
  cd 'parts'

  J=$((I + 1))
  URL=${LINK[$J]}

  I=$((I + 2))

  DIR="${URL##*/}"

  # download all streaming media parts
  VID=-1
  while [ $? -eq 0 ];
  do
    VID=$((VID + 1))
    wget $URL'_'$VID.ts
  done

  # combine parts

How to load specific image from assets with Swift

You cannot load images directly with @2x or @3x, system selects appropriate image automatically, just specify the name using UIImage:

UIImage(named: "green-square-Retina")

'foo' was not declared in this scope c++

In C++, your source files are usually parsed from top to bottom in a single pass, so any variable or function must be declared before they can be used. There are some exceptions to this, like when defining functions inline in a class definition, but that's not the case for your code.

Either move the definition of integrate above the one for getSkewNormal, or add a forward declaration above getSkewNormal:

double integrate (double start, double stop, int numSteps, Evaluatable evalObj);

The same applies for sum.

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

Try this:

grep -rl 'SearchString' ./ | xargs sed -i 's/REPLACESTRING/WITHTHIS/g'

grep -rl will recursively search for the SEARCHSTRING in the directories ./ and will replace the strings using sed.

Ex:

Replacing a name TOM with JERRY using search string as SWATKATS in directory CARTOONNETWORK

grep -rl 'SWATKATS' CARTOONNETWORK/ | xargs sed -i 's/TOM/JERRY/g'

This will replace TOM with JERRY in all the files and subdirectories under CARTOONNETWORK wherever it finds the string SWATKATS.

Lock down Microsoft Excel macro

The modern approach is to move away from VBA for important code, and write a .NET managed Add-In using c# or vb.net, there are a lot of resources for this on the www, and you could use the Express version of MS Visual Studio

Named colors in matplotlib

Matplotlib uses a dictionary from its colors.py module.

To print the names use:

# python2:

import matplotlib
for name, hex in matplotlib.colors.cnames.iteritems():
    print(name, hex)

# python3:

import matplotlib
for name, hex in matplotlib.colors.cnames.items():
    print(name, hex)

This is the complete dictionary:

How to close the command line window after running a batch file?

For closing cmd window, especially after ending weblogic or JBOSS app servers console with Ctrl+C, I'm using 'call' command instead of 'start' in my batch files. My startWLS.cmd file then looks like:

call [BEA_HOME]\user_projects\domains\test_domain\startWebLogic.cmd

After Ctrl+C(and 'Y' answer) cmd window is automatically closed.

How to commit to remote git repository

You just need to make sure you have the rights to push to the remote repository and do

git push origin master

or simply

git push

Get filename from file pointer

You can get the path via fp.name. Example:

>>> f = open('foo/bar.txt')
>>> f.name
'foo/bar.txt'

You might need os.path.basename if you want only the file name:

>>> import os
>>> f = open('foo/bar.txt')
>>> os.path.basename(f.name)
'bar.txt'

How do I make Visual Studio pause after executing a console application in debug mode?

In Boost.Test there is the --auto_start_dbg parameter for breaking into the debugger when a test fails (on an exception or on an assertion failure). For some reason it doesn't work for me.

See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/usage-recommendations/dot-net-specific.html

For this reason I have created my custom test_observer that will break into the debugger when there is an assertion failure or an exception. This is enabled on debug builds when we are running under a debugger.

In one of the source files of my unit test EXE file I have added this code:

#ifdef _DEBUG

#include <boost/test/framework.hpp>
#include <boost/test/test_observer.hpp>

struct BoostUnitTestCrtBreakpointInDebug: boost::unit_test::test_observer
{
    BoostUnitTestCrtBreakpointInDebug()
    {
        boost::unit_test::framework::register_observer(*this);
    }

    virtual ~BoostUnitTestCrtBreakpointInDebug()
    {
        boost::unit_test::framework::deregister_observer(*this);
    }

    virtual void assertion_result( bool passed /* passed */ )
    {
        if (!passed)
            BreakIfInDebugger();
    }

    virtual void exception_caught( boost::execution_exception const& )
    {
        BreakIfInDebugger();
    }

    void BreakIfInDebugger()
    {
        if (IsDebuggerPresent())
        {
            /**
             * Hello, I know you are here staring at the debugger :)
             *
             * If you got here then there is an exception in your unit
             * test code. Walk the call stack to find the actual cause.
             */
            _CrtDbgBreak();
        }
    }
};

BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE(BoostUnitTestCrtBreakpointInDebug);

Is it possible to deserialize XML into List<T>?

If you decorate the User class with the XmlType to match the required capitalization:

[XmlType("user")]
public class User
{
   ...
}

Then the XmlRootAttribute on the XmlSerializer ctor can provide the desired root and allow direct reading into List<>:

    // e.g. my test to create a file
    using (var writer = new FileStream("users.xml", FileMode.Create))
    {
        XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<User>),  
            new XmlRootAttribute("user_list"));
        List<User> list = new List<User>();
        list.Add(new User { Id = 1, Name = "Joe" });
        list.Add(new User { Id = 2, Name = "John" });
        list.Add(new User { Id = 3, Name = "June" });
        ser.Serialize(writer, list);
    }

...

    // read file
    List<User> users;
    using (var reader = new StreamReader("users.xml"))
    {
        XmlSerializer deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<User>),  
            new XmlRootAttribute("user_list"));
        users = (List<User>)deserializer.Deserialize(reader);
    }

Delete all data rows from an Excel table (apart from the first)

The codes above wouldn't work in Excel 2010 My code bellow allows you to go through number of sheets you would like then select tables and delete rows

    On Error GoTo NoTableSelected
    TableName = SelectedCell.ListObject.Name
    Set ActiveTable = ActiveSheet.ListObjects(TableName)
    On Error GoTo 0

    'Clear first Row
    ActiveTable.DataBodyRange.Rows(1).ClearContents
    'Delete all the other rows `IF `they exist
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveTable.DataBodyRange.Offset(1, 0).Resize(ActiveTable.DataBodyRange.Rows.Count - 1, _
    ActiveTable.DataBodyRange.Columns.Count).Rows.Delete

Padding In bootstrap

I have not used Bootstrap but I worked on Zurb Foundation. On that I used to add space like this.

<div id="main" class="container" role="main">
    <div class="row">

        <div class="span5 offset1">
            <h2>Welcome</h2>
            <p>Hello and welcome to my website.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="span6">
            Image Here (TODO)
        </div>
    </div>

Visit this link: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html and read the section: Offsetting columns.

I think I know what you are doing wrong. If you are applying padding to the span6 like this:

<div class="span6" style="padding-left:5px;">
    <h2>Welcome</h2>
    <p>Hello and welcome to my website.</p>
</div>

It is wrong. What you have to do is add padding to the elements inside:

<div class="span6">
    <h2 style="padding-left:5px;">Welcome</h2>
    <p  style="padding-left:5px;">Hello and welcome to my website.</p>
</div>

How to import .py file from another directory?

You can add to the system-path at runtime:

sys.path.insert(0, 'path/to/your/py_file')

import py_file

This is by far the easiest way to do it.

Git adding files to repo

git add puts pending files to the so called git 'index' which is local.

After that you use git commit to commit (apply) things in the index.

Then use git push [remotename] [localbranch][:remotebranch] to actually push them to a remote repository.

OpenCV C++/Obj-C: Detecting a sheet of paper / Square Detection

Well, I'm late.


In your image, the paper is white, while the background is colored. So, it's better to detect the paper is Saturation(???) channel in HSV color space. Take refer to wiki HSL_and_HSV first. Then I'll copy most idea from my answer in this Detect Colored Segment in an image.


Main steps:

  1. Read into BGR
  2. Convert the image from bgr to hsv space
  3. Threshold the S channel
  4. Then find the max external contour(or do Canny, or HoughLines as you like, I choose findContours), approx to get the corners.

This is my result:

enter image description here


The Python code(Python 3.5 + OpenCV 3.3):

#!/usr/bin/python3
# 2017.12.20 10:47:28 CST
# 2017.12.20 11:29:30 CST

import cv2
import numpy as np

##(1) read into  bgr-space
img = cv2.imread("test2.jpg")

##(2) convert to hsv-space, then split the channels
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
h,s,v = cv2.split(hsv)

##(3) threshold the S channel using adaptive method(`THRESH_OTSU`) or fixed thresh
th, threshed = cv2.threshold(s, 50, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)

##(4) find all the external contours on the threshed S
#_, cnts, _ = cv2.findContours(threshed, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnts = cv2.findContours(threshed, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)[-2]

canvas  = img.copy()
#cv2.drawContours(canvas, cnts, -1, (0,255,0), 1)

## sort and choose the largest contour
cnts = sorted(cnts, key = cv2.contourArea)
cnt = cnts[-1]

## approx the contour, so the get the corner points
arclen = cv2.arcLength(cnt, True)
approx = cv2.approxPolyDP(cnt, 0.02* arclen, True)
cv2.drawContours(canvas, [cnt], -1, (255,0,0), 1, cv2.LINE_AA)
cv2.drawContours(canvas, [approx], -1, (0, 0, 255), 1, cv2.LINE_AA)

## Ok, you can see the result as tag(6)
cv2.imwrite("detected.png", canvas)

no matching function for call to ' '

You are trying to pass pointers (which you do not delete, thus leaking memory) where references are needed. You do not really need pointers here:

Complex firstComplexNumber(81, 93);
Complex secondComplexNumber(31, 19);

cout << "Numarul complex este: " << firstComplexNumber << endl;
//                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No need to dereference now

// ...

Complex::distanta(firstComplexNumber, secondComplexNumber);

CURL alternative in Python

If you are using a command to just call curl like that, you can do the same thing in Python with subprocess. Example:

subprocess.call(['curl', '-i', '-H', '"Accept: application/xml"', '-u', 'login:key', '"https://app.streamsend.com/emails"'])

Or you could try PycURL if you want to have it as a more structured api like what PHP has.

Setting HTTP headers

Do not use '*' for Origin, until You really need a completely public behavior.
As Wikipedia says:

"The value of "*" is special in that it does not allow requests to supply credentials, meaning HTTP authentication, client-side SSL certificates, nor does it allow cookies to be sent."

That means, you'll get a lot of errors, especially in Chrome when you'll try to implement for example a simple authentication.

Here is a corrected wrapper:

// Code has not been tested.
func addDefaultHeaders(fn http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
    return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        if origin := r.Header.Get("Origin"); origin != "" {
            w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", origin)
        }
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE")
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Content-Length, Accept-Encoding, X-CSRF-Token")
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true")
        fn(w, r)

And don't forget to reply all these headers to the preflight OPTIONS request.

Delete files in subfolder using batch script

del parentpath (or just place the .bat file inside parent folder) *.txt /s

Why can't I call a public method in another class?

For example 1 and 2 you need to create static methods:

public static string InstanceMethod() {return "Hello World";}

Then for example 3 you need an instance of your object to invoke the method:

object o = new object();
string s = o.InstanceMethod();

Json.net serialize/deserialize derived types?

You have to enable Type Name Handling and pass that to the (de)serializer as a settings parameter.

Base object1 = new Base() { Name = "Object1" };
Derived object2 = new Derived() { Something = "Some other thing" };
List<Base> inheritanceList = new List<Base>() { object1, object2 };

JsonSerializerSettings settings = new JsonSerializerSettings { TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.All };
string Serialized = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(inheritanceList, settings);
List<Base> deserializedList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Base>>(Serialized, settings);

This will result in correct deserialization of derived classes. A drawback to it is that it will name all the objects you are using, as such it will name the list you are putting the objects in.
