Link to Flask static files with url_for

You have by default the static endpoint for static files. Also Flask application has the following arguments:

static_url_path: can be used to specify a different path for the static files on the web. Defaults to the name of the static_folder folder.

static_folder: the folder with static files that should be served at static_url_path. Defaults to the 'static' folder in the root path of the application.

It means that the filename argument will take a relative path to your file in static_folder and convert it to a relative path combined with static_url_default:

url_for('static', filename='path/to/file')

will convert the file path from static_folder/path/to/file to the url path static_url_default/path/to/file.

So if you want to get files from the static/bootstrap folder you use this code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css') }}">

Which will be converted to (using default settings):

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="static/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css">

Also look at url_for documentation.

Found shared references to a collection org.hibernate.HibernateException

I have experienced a great example of reproducing such a problem. Maybe my experience will help someone one day.

Short version

Check that your @Embedded Id of container has no possible collisions.

Long version

When Hibernate instantiates collection wrapper, it searches for already instantiated collection by CollectionKey in internal Map.

For Entity with @Embedded id, CollectionKey wraps EmbeddedComponentType and uses @Embedded Id properties for equality checks and hashCode calculation.

So if you have two entities with equal @Embedded Ids, Hibernate will instantiate and put new collection by the first key and will find same collection for the second key. So two entities with same @Embedded Id will be populated with same collection.

Example

Suppose you have Account entity which has lazy set of loans. And Account has @Embedded Id consists of several parts(columns).

@Entity
@Table(schema = "SOME", name = "ACCOUNT")
public class Account {
    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "account")
    private Set<Loan> loans;

    @Embedded
    private AccountId accountId;

    ...
}

@Embeddable
public class AccountId {
    @Column(name = "X")
    private Long x;
    
    @Column(name = "BRANCH")
    private String branchId;
    
    @Column(name = "Z")
    private String z;

    ...
}

Then suppose that Account has additional property mapped by @Embedded Id but has relation to other entity Branch.

@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "BRANCH")
@MapsId("accountId.branchId")
@NotFound(action = NotFoundAction.IGNORE)//Look at this!
private Branch branch;

It could happen that you have no FK for Account to Brunch relation id DB so Account.BRANCH column can have any value not presented in Branch table.

According to @NotFound(action = NotFoundAction.IGNORE) if value is not present in related table, Hibernate will load null value for the property.

If X and Y columns of two Accounts are same(which is fine), but BRANCH is different and not presented in Branch table, hibernate will load null for both and Embedded Ids will be equal.

So two CollectionKey objects will be equal and will have same hashCode for different Accounts.

result = {CollectionKey@34809} "CollectionKey[Account.loans#Account@43deab74]"
 role = "Account.loans"
 key = {Account@26451} 
 keyType = {EmbeddedComponentType@21355} 
 factory = {SessionFactoryImpl@21356} 
 hashCode = 1187125168
 entityMode = {EntityMode@17415} "pojo"

result = {CollectionKey@35653} "CollectionKey[Account.loans#Account@33470aa]"
 role = "Account.loans"
 key = {Account@35225} 
 keyType = {EmbeddedComponentType@21355} 
 factory = {SessionFactoryImpl@21356} 
 hashCode = 1187125168
 entityMode = {EntityMode@17415} "pojo"

Because of this, Hibernate will load same PesistentSet for two entities.

Is there any option to limit mongodb memory usage?

For Windows it seems possible to control the amount of memory MongoDB uses, see this tutorial at Captain Codeman:

Limit MongoDB memory use on Windows without Virtualization

What is %timeit in python?

Line magics are prefixed with the % character and work much like OS command-line calls: they get as an argument the rest of the line, where arguments are passed without parentheses or quotes. Cell magics are prefixed with a double %%, and they are functions that get as an argument not only the rest of the line, but also the lines below it in a separate argument.

How to fix the "java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names present" error?

I've the same problem and solved with this code. I put this code before the first call to my webservices.

javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(
  new javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier(){

      public boolean verify(String hostname,
             javax.net.ssl.SSLSession sslSession) {
          return hostname.equals("localhost"); // or return true
      }
  });

It's simple and works fine.

MySQL JDBC Driver 5.1.33 - Time Zone Issue

Agree with @bluecollarcoder answer, but it's better to use TimeZone.getDefault().getID(); at the end of the connection string:

"jdbc:mysql://localhost/db?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=" + TimeZone.getDefault().getID();  

In this case Timezone parameter automatically updates depending on the local machine timezone.

QByteArray to QString

Use QString::fromUtf16((ushort *)Data.data()), as shown in the following code example:

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    // QByteArray to QString
    // =====================

    const char c_test[10] = {'t', '\0', 'e', '\0', 's', '\0', 't', '\0', '\0', '\0'};
    QByteArray qba_test(QByteArray::fromRawData(c_test, 10));
    qDebug().nospace().noquote() << "qba_test[" << qba_test << "]"; // Should see: qba_test[t

    QString qstr_test = QString::fromUtf16((ushort *)qba_test.data());
    qDebug().nospace().noquote() << "qstr_test[" << qstr_test << "]"; // Should see: qstr_test[test]

    return a.exec();
}

This is an alternative solution to the one using QTextCodec. The code has been tested using Qt 5.4.

How to modify PATH for Homebrew?

To avoid unnecessary duplication, I added the following to my ~/.bash_profile

case ":$PATH:" in
  *:/usr/local/bin:*) ;;     # do nothing if $PATH already contains /usr/local/bin
  *) PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH ;;  # in every other case, add it to the front

Named placeholders in string formatting

Apache Commons Lang's replaceEach method may come in handy dependeding on your specific needs. You can easily use it to replace placeholders by name with this single method call:

StringUtils.replaceEach("There's an incorrect value '%(value)' in column # %(column)",
            new String[] { "%(value)", "%(column)" }, new String[] { x, y });

Given some input text, this will replace all occurrences of the placeholders in the first string array with the corresponding values in the second one.

jQuery 1.9 .live() is not a function

When i will getting this error on my site .it will stop some functionality on my site, after research i find the solution for this problem ,

$colorpicker_inputs.live('focus', function(e) {
    jQuery(this).next('.farb-popup').show();
    jQuery(this).parents('li').css( {
        position : 'relative',
        zIndex : '9999'
    })
    jQuery('#tabber').css( {
        overflow : 'visible'
    });
});

$colorpicker_inputs.live('blur', function(e) {
    jQuery(this).next('.farb-popup').hide();
    jQuery(this).parents('li').css( {
        zIndex : '0'
    })
});

Should be replace 'live' to 'on' check below

    $colorpicker_inputs.on('focus', function(e) {
    jQuery(this).next('.farb-popup').show();
    jQuery(this).parents('li').css( {
        position : 'relative',
        zIndex : '9999'
    })
    jQuery('#tabber').css( {
        overflow : 'visible'
    });
});

$colorpicker_inputs.on('blur', function(e) {
    jQuery(this).next('.farb-popup').hide();
    jQuery(this).parents('li').css( {
        zIndex : '0'
    })
});

One more basic exmaple below :

.live(event, selector, function) 

Change it to :

.on(event, selector, function)

Use of #pragma in C

#pragma is for compiler directives that are machine-specific or operating-system-specific, i.e. it tells the compiler to do something, set some option, take some action, override some default, etc. that may or may not apply to all machines and operating systems.

Spring RequestMapping for controllers that produce and consume JSON

You can use the @RestController instead of @Controller annotation.

Why am I getting a " Traceback (most recent call last):" error?

At the beginning of your file you set raw_input to 0. Do not do this, at it modifies the built-in raw_input() function. Therefore, whenever you call raw_input(), it is essentially calling 0(), which raises the error. To remove the error, remove the first line of your code:

How to clear browser cache with php?

You can delete the browser cache by setting these headers:

<?php
header("Expires: Tue, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
?>

    contentType: false,
    beforeSend: function() {

    },
    success: function(data){




    },

How to search for an element in a golang slice

You can save the struct into a map by matching the struct Key and Value components to their fictive key and value parts on the map:

mapConfig := map[string]string{}
for _, v := range myconfig {
   mapConfig[v.Key] = v.Value
}

Then using the golang comma ok idiom you can test for the key presence:

if v, ok := mapConfig["key1"]; ok {
    fmt.Printf("%s exists", v)
}   

PHP refresh window? equivalent to F5 page reload?

Adding following in the page header works for me:

<?php

if($i_wanna_reload_the_full_page_on_top == "yes")
{
$reloadneeded = "1";
}
else
{
$reloadneeded = "0";
}

if($reloadneeded > 0)
{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
top.window.location='indexframes.php';
</script>
<?php
}else{}
?>

For..In loops in JavaScript - key value pairs

ES6 will provide Map.prototype.forEach(callback) which can be used like this

                    });

What is the email subject length limit?

after some test: If you send an email to an outlook client, and the subject is >77 chars, and it needs to use "=?ISO" inside the subject (in my case because of accents) then OutLook will "cut" the subject in the middle of it and mesh it all that comes after, including body text, attaches, etc... all a mesh!

I have several examples like this one:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Actas de la obra N=BA.20100154 (Expediente N=BA.20100182) "NUEVA RED FERROVIARIA.=

TRAMO=20BEASAIN=20OESTE(Pedido=20PC10/00123-125),=20BEASAIN".?=

To:

As you see, in the subject line it cutted on char 78 with a "=" followed by 2 or 3 line feeds, then continued with the rest of the subject baddly.

It was reported to me from several customers who all where using OutLook, other email clients deal with those subjects ok.

If you have no ISO on it, it doesn't hurt, but if you add it to your subject to be nice to RFC, then you get this surprise from OutLook. Bit if you don't add the ISOs, then iPhone email will not understand it(and attach files with names using such characters will not work on iPhones).

Easy way to add drop down menu with 1 - 100 without doing 100 different options?

Are you using JavaScript or jQuery besides the html? If you are, you can do something like:

HTML:

<select id='some_selector'></select>?

jQuery:

var select = '';
for (i=1;i<=100;i++){
    select += '<option val=' + i + '>' + i + '</option>';
}
$('#some_selector').html(select);

As you can see here.

Another option for compatible browsers instead of select, you can use is HTML5's input type=number:

<input type="number" min="1" max="100" value="1">

Why does ANT tell me that JAVA_HOME is wrong when it is not?

AttributeError: can't set attribute in python

For those searching this error, another thing that can trigger AtributeError: can't set attribute is if you try to set a decorated @property that has no setter method. Not the problem in the OP's question, but I'm putting it here to help any searching for the error message directly. (if you don't like it, go edit the question's title :)

class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        self._attr = "original value"
        # This will trigger an error...
        self.attr = "new value"

Spring Boot Rest Controller how to return different HTTP status codes?

A nice way is to use Spring's ResponseStatusException

Rather than returning a ResponseEntityor similar you simply throw the ResponseStatusException from the controller with an HttpStatus and cause, for example:

throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, "Cause description here");

or:

throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "Cause description here");

This results in a response to the client containing the HTTP status (e.g. 400 Bad request) with a body like:

{
  "timestamp": "2020-07-09T04:43:04.695+0000",
  "status": 400,
  "error": "Bad Request",
  "message": "Cause description here",
  "path": "/test-api/v1/search"
}

TypeError: unhashable type: 'list' when using built-in set function

Sets remove duplicate items. In order to do that, the item can't change while in the set. Lists can change after being created, and are termed 'mutable'. You cannot put mutable things in a set.

Lists have an unmutable equivalent, called a 'tuple'. This is how you would write a piece of code that took a list of lists, removed duplicate lists, then sorted it in reverse.

result = sorted(set(map(tuple, my_list)), reverse=True)

Additional note: If a tuple contains a list, the tuple is still considered mutable.

Some examples:

>>> hash( tuple() )
3527539
>>> hash( dict() )

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
    hash( dict() )
TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'
>>> hash( list() )

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
    hash( list() )
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

Why would we call cin.clear() and cin.ignore() after reading input?

use cin.ignore(1000,'\n') to clear all of chars of the previous cin.get() in the buffer and it will choose to stop when it meet '\n' or 1000 chars first.

Git, How to reset origin/master to a commit?

The solution found here helped us to update master to a previous commit that had already been pushed:

git checkout master
git reset --hard e3f1e37
git push --force origin e3f1e37:master

The key difference from the accepted answer is the commit hash "e3f1e37:" before master in the push command.

How to print the current time in a Batch-File?

Not sure if your question was answered.

This will write the time & date every 20 seconds in the file ping_ip.txt. The second to last line just says run the same batch file again, and agan, and again,..........etc.

Does not seem to create multiple instances, so that's a good thing.

@echo %time% %date% >>ping_ip.txt
ping -n 20 -w 3 127.0.0.1 >>ping_ip.txt

How can I test a change made to Jenkinsfile locally?

As far as i know this Pipeline Plugin is the "Engine" of the new Jenkinsfile mechanics, so im quite positive you could use this to locally test your scripts.

Im not sure if there is any additional steps needed when you copy it into a Jenkinsfile, however the syntax etc should be exactly the same.

Edit: Found the reference on the "engine", check this feature description, last paragraph, first entry.

How to convert rdd object to dataframe in spark

Suppose you have a DataFrame and you want to do some modification on the fields data by converting it to RDD[Row].

val aRdd = aDF.map(x=>Row(x.getAs[Long]("id"),x.getAs[List[String]]("role").head))

To convert back to DataFrame from RDD we need to define the structure type of the RDD.

If the datatype was Long then it will become as LongType in structure.

If String then StringType in structure.

val aStruct = new StructType(Array(StructField("id",LongType,nullable = true),StructField("role",StringType,nullable = true)))

Now you can convert the RDD to DataFrame using the createDataFrame method.

val aNamedDF = sqlContext.createDataFrame(aRdd,aStruct)

Keep only first n characters in a string?

You are looking for JavaScript's String method substring

e.g.

'Hiya how are you'.substring(0,8);

Which returns the string starting at the first character and finishing before the 9th character - i.e. 'Hiya how'.

npm - EPERM: operation not permitted on Windows

Running this command was my mistake.

npm config set prefix /usr/local

Path /usr/local is not for windows. This command changed the prefix variable at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\local'

To access and make a change to this directory I need to run my cmd as administrator.

So I did:

  1. Run cmd as administrator
  2. Run npm config edit (You will get notepad editor)
  3. Change prefix variable to C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\npm

Then npm start works in a normal console.

jQuery ajax upload file in asp.net mvc

AJAX file uploads are now possible by passing a FormData object to the data property of the $.ajax request.

As the OP specifically asked for a jQuery implementation, here you go:

<form id="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="@Url.Action("JsonSave", "Survey")" method="POST">
    <input type="file" name="fileUpload" id="fileUpload" size="23" /><br />
    <button>Upload!</button>
</form>
$('#upload').submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault(); // stop the standard form submission

    $.ajax({
        url: this.action,
        type: this.method,
        data: new FormData(this),
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false,
        success: function (data) {
            console.log(data.UploadedFileCount + ' file(s) uploaded successfully');
        },
        error: function(xhr, error, status) {
            console.log(error, status);
        }
    });
});
public JsonResult Survey()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; i++)
    {
        var file = Request.Files[i];
        // save file as required here...
    }
    return Json(new { UploadedFileCount = Request.Files.Count });
}

forEach is not a function error with JavaScript array

You can use childNodes instead of children, childNodes is also more reliable considering browser compatibility issues, more info here:

parent.childNodes.forEach(function (child) {
    console.log(child)
});

or using spread operator:

[...parent.children].forEach(function (child) {
    console.log(child)
});

The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it

To add my 2 cents, the exception can occur even if you call your code through System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.Invoke().
The point is that you have to call Invoke() of the Dispatcher of the control that you're trying to access, which in some cases may not be the same as System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher. So instead you should use YourControl.Dispatcher.Invoke() to be safe. I was banging my head for a couple of hours before I realized this.

Update

For future readers, it looks like this has changed in the newer versions of .NET (4.0 and above). Now you no longer have to worry about the correct dispatcher when updating UI-backing properties in your VM. WPF engine will marshal cross-thread calls on the correct UI thread. See more details here. Thanks to @aaronburro for the info and link. You may also want to read our conversation below in comments.

Calling virtual functions inside constructors

Other answers have already explained why virtual function calls don't work as expected when called from a constructor. I'd like to instead propose another possible work around for getting polymorphic-like behavior from a base type's constructor.

By adding a template constructor to the base type such that the template argument is always deduced to be the derived type it's possible to be aware of the derived type's concrete type. From there, you can call static member functions for that derived type.

This solution does not allow non-static member functions to be called. While execution is in the base type's constructor, the derived type's constructor hasn't even had time to go through it's member initialization list. The derived type portion of the instance being created hasn't begun being initialized it. And since non-static member functions almost certainly interact with data members it would be unusual to want to call the derived type's non-static member functions from the base type's constructor.

Here is a sample implementation :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

struct Base {
protected:
    template<class T>
    explicit Base(const T*) : class_name(T::Name())
    {
        std::cout << class_name << " created\n";
    }

public:
    Base() : class_name(Name())
    {
        std::cout << class_name << " created\n";
    }


    virtual ~Base() {
        std::cout << class_name << " destroyed\n";
    }

    static std::string Name() {
        return "Base";
    }

private:
    std::string class_name;
};


struct Derived : public Base
{   
    Derived() : Base(this) {} // `this` is used to allow Base::Base<T> to deduce T

    static std::string Name() {
        return "Derived";
    }
};

int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {

    Derived{};  // Create and destroy a Derived
    Base{};     // Create and destroy a Base

    return 0;
}

This example should print

Derived created
Derived destroyed
Base created
Base destroyed

When a Derived is constructed, the Base constructor's behavior depends on the actual dynamic type of the object being constructed.

Git merge master into feature branch

You might be able to do a "cherry-pick" to pull the exact commit(s) that you need in to your feature branch.

Do a git checkout hotfix1 to get on the hotfix1 branch. Then do a git log to get the SHA-1 hash (big sequence of random letters and numbers that uniquely identifies a commit) of the commit in question. Copy that (or the first 10 or so characters).

Then, git checkout feature1 to get back onto your feature branch.

Then, git cherry-pick <the SHA-1 hash that you just copied>

That will pull that commit, and only that commit, into your feature branch. That change will be in the branch - you just "cherry-picked" it in. Then, resume work, edit, commit, push, etc. to your heart's content.

When, eventually, you perform another merge from one branch into your feature branch (or vice-versa), Git will recognize that you've already merged in that particular commit, know that it doesn't have to make it again, and just "skip over" it.

How to upgrade docker-compose to latest version

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

pip install docker-compose

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

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

Unit testing with Spring Security

General

In the meantime (since version 3.2, in the year 2013, thanks to SEC-2298) the authentication can be injected into MVC methods using the annotation @AuthenticationPrincipal:

@Controller
class Controller {
  @RequestMapping("/somewhere")
  public void doStuff(@AuthenticationPrincipal UserDetails myUser) {
  }
}

Tests

In your unit test you can obviously call this Method directly. In integration tests using org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc you can use org.springframework.security.test.web.servlet.request.SecurityMockMvcRequestPostProcessors.user() to inject the user like this:

mockMvc.perform(get("/somewhere").with(user(myUserDetails)));

This will however just directly fill the SecurityContext. If you want to make sure that the user is loaded from a session in your test, you can use this:

mockMvc.perform(get("/somewhere").with(sessionUser(myUserDetails)));
/* ... */
private static RequestPostProcessor sessionUser(final UserDetails userDetails) {
    return new RequestPostProcessor() {
        @Override
        public MockHttpServletRequest postProcessRequest(final MockHttpServletRequest request) {
            final SecurityContext securityContext = new SecurityContextImpl();
            securityContext.setAuthentication(
                new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(userDetails, null, userDetails.getAuthorities())
            );
            request.getSession().setAttribute(
                HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository.SPRING_SECURITY_CONTEXT_KEY, securityContext
            );
            return request;
        }
    };
}

how to setup ssh keys for jenkins to publish via ssh

For Windows:

  1. Install the necessary plugins for the repository (ex: GitHub install GitHub and GitHub Authentication plugins) in Jenkins.
  2. You can generate a key with Putty key generator, or by running the following command in git bash: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C [email protected]
  3. Private key must be OpenSSH. You can convert your private key to OpenSSH in putty key generator
  4. SSH keys come in pairs, public and private. Public keys are inserted in the repository to be cloned. Private keys are saved as credentials in Jenkins
  5. You need to copy the SSH URL not the HTTPS to work with ssh keys.

MySQL error - #1062 - Duplicate entry ' ' for key 2

As it was said you have a unique index.

However, when I added most of the list yesterday I didn't get this error once even though a lot of the entries I added yesterday have a blank cell in column 2 as well. Whats going on?

That means that all these entries contain value NULL, not empty string ''. Mysql lets you have multiple NULL values in unique fields.

How to get your Netbeans project into Eclipse

Sharing my experience, how to import simple Netbeans java project into Eclipse workspace. Please follow the following steps:

  1. Copy the Netbeans project folder into Eclipse workspace.
  2. Create .project file, inside the project folder at root level. Below code is the sample reference. Change your project name appropriately.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <projectDescription>
        <name>PROJECT_NAME</name>
        <comment></comment>
        <projects>
        </projects>
        <buildSpec>
            <buildCommand>
                <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
                <arguments>
                </arguments>
            </buildCommand>
        </buildSpec>
        <natures>
            <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
        </natures>
    </projectDescription>
    
  3. Now open Eclipse and follow the steps,

    File > import > Existing Projects into Workspace > Select root directory > Finish

  4. Now we need to correct the build path for proper compilation of src, by following these steps:

    Right Click on project folder > Properties > Java Build Path > Click Source tab > Add Folder

(Add the correct src path from project and remove the incorrect ones). Find the image ref link how it looks.

  1. You are done. Let me know for any queries. Thanks.

How to get the value of an input field using ReactJS?

if you use class component then only 3 steps- first you need to declare state for your input filed for example this.state = {name:''}. Secondly, you need to write a function for setting the state when it changes in bellow example it is setName() and finally you have to write the input jsx for example < input value={this.name} onChange = {this.setName}/>

import React, { Component } from 'react'

export class InputComponents extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props)

        this.state = {
             name:'',
             agree:false
        }
        this.setName = this.setName.bind(this);
        this.setAgree=this.setAgree.bind(this);
    }

    setName(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        console.log(e.target.value);
        this.setState({
            name:e.target.value
        })
    }
    setAgree(){
        this.setState({
            agree: !this.state.agree
        }, function (){
            console.log(this.state.agree);
        })
    }
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <input type="checkbox" checked={this.state.agree} onChange={this.setAgree}></input>
                < input value={this.state.name} onChange = {this.setName}/>
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default InputComponents

Taskkill /f doesn't kill a process

I faced the same issue where I started a node app in port 3000 and it didn't close correctly and the process kept running even after restart.

None of the taskkill or powershell commands running in Administrator mode worked for me.

I used MS Process Expoler > Properties > Image > Current directory (which was supposed to be the my project directory).

Finally, I had to reboot in SafeMode and rename the project folder and restart. The Node processes which were consuming port 3000 killed itself.

How to convert a .eps file to a high quality 1024x1024 .jpg?

For vector graphics, ImageMagick has both a render resolution and an output size that are independent of each other.

Try something like

convert -density 300 image.eps -resize 1024x1024 image.jpg

Which will render your eps at 300dpi. If 300 * width > 1024, then it will be sharp. If you render it too high though, you waste a lot of memory drawing a really high-res graphic only to down sample it again. I don't currently know of a good way to render it at the "right" resolution in one IM command.

The order of the arguments matters! The -density X argument needs to go before image.eps because you want to affect the resolution that the input file is rendered at.

This is not super obvious in the manpage for convert, but is hinted at:

SYNOPSIS

convert [input-option] input-file [output-option] output-file

Failed to run sdkmanager --list with Java 9

This is the answer to make this work for Java 11 and above since the entire JAXB APIs were removed.

Download Jakarta XML Binding, specifically this zip file. You need only the 3 files within mod folder i.e. jakarta.activation.jar, jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar and jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar and you can toss the rest off.

Move these files to APP_HOME/lib folder. I created a sub folder jaxb inside for this. So, on my macOS system this was: $HOME/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib/jaxb

Now open sdkmanager using your favorite text editor and under CLASSPATH= add the following at th beginning:

$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.activation.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jaxb-impl.jar

So it ended up looking like:

CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.activation.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jaxb-impl.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/dvlib-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jimfs-1.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jsr305-1.3.9.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/repository-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/j2objc-annotations-1.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/layoutlib-api-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/gson-2.3.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/httpcore-4.2.5.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/commons-compress-1.12.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/annotations-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/error_prone_annotations-2.0.18.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/animal-sniffer-annotations-1.14.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/httpclient-4.2.6.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/commons-codec-1.6.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/common-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/kxml2-2.3.0.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/httpmime-4.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/annotations-12.0.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/sdklib-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/guava-22.0.jar

And that's pretty much it, should solve the issue.

I did these steps because flutter doctor --android-licenses was giving me issues. And this fixed it.

REST API Best practice: How to accept list of parameter values as input

The standard way to pass a list of values as URL parameters is to repeat them:

http://our.api.com/Product?id=101404&id=7267261

Most server code will interpret this as a list of values, although many have single value simplifications so you may have to go looking.

Delimited values are also okay.

If you are needing to send JSON to the server, I don't like seeing it in in the URL (which is a different format). In particular, URLs have a size limitation (in practice if not in theory).

The way I have seen some do a complicated query RESTfully is in two steps:

  1. POST your query requirements, receiving back an ID (essentially creating a search criteria resource)
  2. GET the search, referencing the above ID
  3. optionally DELETE the query requirements if needed, but note that they requirements are available for reuse.

Equivalent of SQL ISNULL in LINQ?

You can use the ?? operator to set the default value but first you must set the Nullable property to true in your dbml file in the required field (xx.Online)

        from aa in DevInfo.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new
        {
        AssetID = x.AssetID,
        Status = xx.Online ?? false
        };

How does the Python's range function work?

The range function wil give you a list of numbers, while the for loop will iterate through the list and execute the given code for each of its items.

for i in range(5):
      print i

This simply executes print i five times, for i ranging from 0 to 4.

for i in range(5):
      a=i+1

This will execute a=i+1 five times. Since you are overwriting the value of a on each iteration, at the end you will only get the value for the last iteration, that is 4+1.

  3. on mac click the .pkg executable and follow the installation instructions (not sure what the correct executable is for windows)
  4. be happy now that you are on the version of node you wanted

Loop through the rows of a particular DataTable

For Each row As DataRow In dtDataTable.Rows
    strDetail = row.Item("Detail")
Next row

There's also a shorthand:

For Each row As DataRow In dtDataTable.Rows
    strDetail = row("Detail")
Next row

Note that Microsoft's style guidelines for .Net now specifically recommend against using hungarian type prefixes for variables. Instead of "strDetail", for example, you should just use "Detail".

Example of multipart/form-data

EDIT: I am maintaining a similar, but more in-depth answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28380690/895245

To see exactly what is happening, use nc -l or an ECHO server and an user agent like a browser or cURL.

Save the form to an .html file:

<form action="http://localhost:8000" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <p><input type="text" name="text" value="text default">
  <p><input type="file" name="file1">
  <p><input type="file" name="file2">
  <p><button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Create files to upload:

echo 'Content of a.txt.' > a.txt
echo '<!DOCTYPE html><title>Content of a.html.</title>' > a.html

Run:

nc -l localhost 8000

Open the HTML on your browser, select the files and click on submit and check the terminal.

nc prints the request received. Firefox sent:

Just use the following method, pass it lat and long and get distance in meter:

private static double distance_in_meter(final double lat1, final double lon1, final double lat2, final double lon2) {
    double R = 6371000f; // Radius of the earth in m
    double dLat = (lat1 - lat2) * Math.PI / 180f;
    double dLon = (lon1 - lon2) * Math.PI / 180f;
    double a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
            Math.cos(latlong1.latitude * Math.PI / 180f) * Math.cos(latlong2.latitude * Math.PI / 180f) *
                    Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2);
    double c = 2f * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
    double d = R * c;
    return d;
}

How to change the CHARACTER SET (and COLLATION) throughout a database?

Beware that in Mysql, the utf8 character set is only a subset of the real UTF8 character set. In order to save one byte of storage, the Mysql team decided to store only three bytes of a UTF8 characters instead of the full four-bytes. That means that some east asian language and emoji aren't fully supported. To make sure you can store all UTF8 characters, use the utf8mb4 data type, and utf8mb4_bin or utf8mb4_general_ci in Mysql.

HTML Script tag: type or language (or omit both)?

HTML4/XHTML1 requires

<script type="...">...</script>

HTML5 faces the fact that there is only one scripting language on the web, and allows

<script>...</script>

The latter works in any browser that supports scripting (NN2+).

Access host database from a docker container

There are several long standing discussions about how to do this in a consistent, well understood and portable way. No complete resolution but I'll link you to the discussions below.

In any event you many want to try using the --add-host option to docker run to add the ip address of the host into the container's /etc/host file. From there it's trivial to connect to the host on any required port:

Adding entries to a container hosts file

You can add other hosts into a container's /etc/hosts file by using one or more --add-host flags. This example adds a static address for a host named docker:

 $ docker run --add-host=docker:10.180.0.1 --rm -it debian
    $$ ping docker
    PING docker (10.180.0.1): 48 data bytes
    56 bytes from 10.180.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=7.600 ms
    56 bytes from 10.180.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=30.705 ms
    ^C--- docker ping statistics ---
    2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 7.600/19.152/30.705/11.553 ms

Note: Sometimes you need to connect to the Docker host, which means getting the IP address of the host. You can use the following shell commands to simplify this process:

 $ alias hostip="ip route show 0.0.0.0/0 | grep -Eo 'via \S+' | awk '{ print $2 }'"
 $ docker run  --add-host=docker:$(hostip) --rm -it debian

How can I check if a view is visible or not in Android?

If the image is part of the layout it might be "View.VISIBLE" but that doesn't mean it's within the confines of the visible screen. If that's what you're after; this will work:

Rect scrollBounds = new Rect();
scrollView.getHitRect(scrollBounds);
if (imageView.getLocalVisibleRect(scrollBounds)) {
    // imageView is within the visible window
} else {
    // imageView is not within the visible window
}

How to autoplay HTML5 mp4 video on Android?

Chrome has disabled it. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=159336 Even the jQuery play() is blocked. They want user to initiate it so bandwidth can be saved.

CSS: borders between table columns only

Borders on tables are always a bit flaky. One possibility would be to add a border-right declaration to each table cell except for the ones in right-most column. If you're using any kind of table-spacing this won't work very well.

Another option would be to use a 1px high background image with the borders inside it, but that'll only work if you can guarantee the width of each cell at all times.

Another possibility is to experiment with colgroup / col. This had fairly horrible support cross-browser the last time i looked at it but could have improved since then: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/6826.htm

How can I make window.showmodaldialog work in chrome 37?

A very good, and working, javascript solution is provided here : https://github.com/niutech/showModalDialog

I personnally used it, works like before for other browser and it creates a new dialog for chrome browser.

Here is an example on how to use it :

function handleReturnValue(returnValue) {
    if (returnValue !== undefined) {
        // do what you want
    }
}

var myCallback = function (returnValue) { // callback for chrome usage
    handleReturnValue(returnValue);
};

var returnValue = window.showModalDialog('someUrl', 'someDialogTitle', 'someDialogParams', myCallback); 
handleReturnValue(returnValue); // for other browsers except Chrome

Meaning of ${project.basedir} in pom.xml

There are a set of available properties to all Maven projects.

From Introduction to the POM:

project.basedir: The directory that the current project resides in.

This means this points to where your Maven projects resides on your system. It corresponds to the location of the pom.xml file. If your POM is located inside /path/to/project/pom.xml then this property will evaluate to /path/to/project.

Some properties are also inherited from the Super POM, which is the case for project.build.directory. It is the value inside the <project><build><directory> element of the POM. You can get a description of all those values by looking at the Maven model. For project.build.directory, it is:

The directory where all files generated by the build are placed. The default value is target.

This is the directory that will hold every generated file by the build.

UICollectionView auto scroll to cell at IndexPath

You can use GCD to dispatch the scroll into the next iteration of main run loop in viewDidLoad to achieve this behavior. The scroll will be performed before the collection view is showed on screen, so there will be no flashing.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    dispatch_async (dispatch_get_main_queue (), ^{
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = YOUR_DESIRED_INDEXPATH;
        [self.collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:indexPath atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredHorizontally animated:NO];
    });
}

jQuery: Adding two attributes via the .attr(); method

If you what to add bootstrap attributes in anchor tag dynamically than this will helps you lot

 $(".dropdown a").attr({
      class: "dropdown-toggle",
     'data-toggle': "dropdown",
      role: "button",
     'aria-haspopup': "true",
     'aria-expanded': "true"
});

Predict() - Maybe I'm not understanding it

First, you want to use

model <- lm(Total ~ Coupon, data=df)

not model <-lm(df$Total ~ df$Coupon, data=df).

Second, by saying lm(Total ~ Coupon), you are fitting a model that uses Total as the response variable, with Coupon as the predictor. That is, your model is of the form Total = a + b*Coupon, with a and b the coefficients to be estimated. Note that the response goes on the left side of the ~, and the predictor(s) on the right.

Because of this, when you ask R to give you predicted values for the model, you have to provide a set of new predictor values, ie new values of Coupon, not Total.

Third, judging by your specification of newdata, it looks like you're actually after a model to fit Coupon as a function of Total, not the other way around. To do this:

model <- lm(Coupon ~ Total, data=df)
new.df <- data.frame(Total=c(79037022, 83100656, 104299800))
predict(model, new.df)

How do I rewrite URLs in a proxy response in NGINX

You may also need the following directive to be set before the first "sub_filter" for backend-servers with data compression:

proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";

Otherwise it may not work. For your example it will look like:

location /admin/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
    proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
    sub_filter "http://your_server/" "http://your_server/admin/";
    sub_filter_once off;
}

Android- Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForRelease'

JSON encode MySQL results

$sth = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT ...");
$rows = array();
while($r = mysqli_fetch_assoc($sth)) {
    $rows[] = $r;
}
print json_encode($rows);

The function json_encode needs PHP >= 5.2 and the php-json package - as mentioned here

NOTE: mysql is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, use mysqli extension instead http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.deprecated.php.

How do I copy a range of formula values and paste them to a specific range in another sheet?

You can change

Range("B3:B65536").Copy Destination:=Sheets("DB").Range("B" & lastrow)

to

Range("B3:B65536").Copy 
Sheets("DB").Range("B" & lastrow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

BTW, if you have xls file (excel 2003), you would get an error if your lastrow would be greater 3.

Try to use this code instead:

Sub Get_Data()
    Dim lastrowDB As Long, lastrow As Long
    Dim arr1, arr2, i As Integer

    With Sheets("DB")
        lastrowDB = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
    End With

    arr1 = Array("B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "AH", "AI", "AJ", "J", "P", "AF")
    arr2 = Array("B", "A", "C", "P", "D", "E", "G", "F", "H", "I", "J")

    For i = LBound(arr1) To UBound(arr1)
        With Sheets("Sheet1")
             lastrow = Application.Max(3, .Cells(.Rows.Count, arr1(i)).End(xlUp).Row)
             .Range(.Cells(3, arr1(i)), .Cells(lastrow, arr1(i))).Copy
             Sheets("DB").Range(arr2(i) & lastrowDB).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        End With
    Next
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Note, above code determines last non empty row on DB sheet in column A (variable lastrowDB). If you need to find lastrow for each destination column in DB sheet, use next modification:

For i = LBound(arr1) To UBound(arr1)
   With Sheets("DB")
       lastrowDB = .Cells(.Rows.Count, arr2(i)).End(xlUp).Row + 1
   End With

   ' NEXT CODE

Next

You could also use next approach instead Copy/PasteSpecial. Replace

.Range(.Cells(3, arr1(i)), .Cells(lastrow, arr1(i))).Copy
Sheets("DB").Range(arr2(i) & lastrowDB).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

with

Sheets("DB").Range(arr2(i) & lastrowDB).Resize(lastrow - 2).Value = _
      .Range(.Cells(3, arr1(i)), .Cells(lastrow, arr1(i))).Value

Difference between SurfaceView and View?

Why use SurfaceView and not the classic View class...

One main reason is that SurfaceView can rapidly render the screen.

In simple words a SV is more capable of managing the timing and render animations.

To have a better understanding what is a SurfaceView we must compare it with the View class.

What is the difference... check this simple explanation in the video

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=eltlqsHSG30

Well with the View we have one major problem....the timing of rendering animations.

Normally the onDraw() is called from the Android run-time system.

So, when Android run-time system calls onDraw() then the application cant control

the timing of display, and this is important for animation. We have a gap of timing

between the application (our game) and the Android run-time system.

The SV it can call the onDraw() by a dedicated Thread.

Thus: the application controls the timing. So we can display the next bitmap image of the animation.

Click toggle with jQuery

Another approach would be to extended jquery like this:

$.fn.toggleCheckbox = function() {
    this.attr('checked', !this.attr('checked'));
}

Then call:

$('.offer').find(':checkbox').toggleCheckbox();

Write HTML file using Java

It really depends on the type of HTML file you're creating.

For such tasks, I use to create an object, serialize it to XML, then transform it with XSL. The pros of this approach are:

  • The strict separation between source code and HTML template,
  • The possibility to edit HTML without having to recompile the application,
  • The ability to serve different HTML in different cases based on the same XML, or even serve XML directly when needed (for a further deserialization for example),
  • The shorter amount of code to write.

The cons are:

  • You must know XSLT and know how to implement it in Java.
  • You must write XSLT (and it's torture for many developers).
  • When transforming XML to HTML with XSLT, some parts may be tricky. Few examples: <textarea/> tags (which make the page unusable), XML declaration (which can cause problems with IE), whitespace (with <pre></pre> tags etc.), HTML entities (&nbsp;), etc.
  • The performance will be reduced, since serialization to XML wastes lots of CPU resources and XSL transformation is very costly too.

Now, if your HTML is very short or very repetitive or if the HTML has a volatile structure which changes dynamically, this approach must not be taken in account. On the other hand, if you serve HTML files which have all a similar structure and you want to reduce the amount of Java code and use templates, this approach may work.

How to switch activity without animation in Android?

create your own style overriding android:Theme

<style name="noAnimationStyle" parent="android:Theme">
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@null</item>
</style>

Then use it in manifest like this:

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:theme="@style/noAnimationStyle">
</activity>

SSRS custom number format

am assuming that you want to know how to format numbers in SSRS

Just right click the TextBox on which you want to apply formatting, go to its expression.

suppose its expression is something like below

=Fields!myField.Value

then do this

=Format(Fields!myField.Value,"##.##") 

or

=Format(Fields!myFields.Value,"00.00")

difference between the two is that former one would make 4 as 4 and later one would make 4 as 04.00

this should give you an idea.

also: you might have to convert your field into a numerical one. i.e.

  =Format(CDbl(Fields!myFields.Value),"00.00")

so: 0 in format expression means, when no number is present, place a 0 there and # means when no number is present, leave it. Both of them works same when numbers are present ie. 45.6567 would be 45.65 for both of them:

UPDATE :

if you want to apply variable formatting on the same column based on row values i.e. you want myField to have no formatting when it has no decimal value but formatting with double precision when it has decimal then you can do it through logic. (though you should not be doing so)

Go to the appropriate textbox and go to its expression and do this:

=IIF((Fields!myField.Value - CInt(Fields!myField.Value)) > 0, 
    Format(Fields!myField.Value, "##.##"),Fields!myField.Value)

so basically you are using IIF(condition, true,false) operator of SSRS, ur condition is to check whether the number has decimal value, if it has, you apply the formatting and if no, you let it as it is.

this should give you an idea, how to handle variable formatting.

How to access host port from docker container

You can access the local webserver which is running in your host machine in two ways.

  1. Approach 1 with public IP

    Use host machine public IP address to access webserver in Jenkins docker container.

  2. Approach 2 with the host network

    Use "--net host" to add the Jenkins docker container on the host's network stack. Containers which are deployed on host's stack have entire access to the host interface. You can access local webserver in docker container with a private IP address of the host machine.

NETWORK ID          NAME                      DRIVER              SCOPE
b3554ea51ca3        bridge                    bridge              local
2f0d6d6fdd88        host                      host                local
b9c2a4bc23b2        none                      null                local

Start a container with the host network Eg: docker run --net host -it ubuntu and run ifconfig to list all available network IP addresses which are reachable from docker container.

Eg: I started a nginx server in my local host machine and I am able to access the nginx website URLs from Ubuntu docker container.

docker run --net host -it ubuntu

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

Object array initialization without default constructor

Nope.

But lo! If you use std::vector<Car>, like you should be (never ever use new[]), then you can specify exactly how elements should be constructed*.

*Well sort of. You can specify the value of which to make copies of.


Like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

class Car
{
private:
    Car(); // if you don't use it, you can just declare it to make it private
    int _no;
public:
    Car(int no) :
    _no(no)
    {
        // use an initialization list to initialize members,
        // not the constructor body to assign them
    }

    void printNo()
    {
        // use whitespace, itmakesthingseasiertoread
        std::cout << _no << std::endl;
    }
};

int main()
{
    int userInput = 10;

    // first method: userInput copies of Car(5)
    std::vector<Car> mycars(userInput, Car(5)); 

    // second method:
    std::vector<Car> mycars; // empty
    mycars.reserve(userInput); // optional: reserve the memory upfront

    for (int i = 0; i < userInput; ++i)
        mycars.push_back(Car(i)); // ith element is a copy of this

    // return 0 is implicit on main's with no return statement,
    // useful for snippets and short code samples
} 

With the additional function:

void printCarNumbers(Car *cars, int length)
{
    for(int i = 0; i < length; i++) // whitespace! :)
         std::cout << cars[i].printNo();
}

int main()
{
    // ...

    printCarNumbers(&mycars[0], mycars.size());
} 

Note printCarNumbers really should be designed differently, to accept two iterators denoting a range.

.gitignore is ignored by Git

My problem was that I wrote down files to ignore with quotes " " separation not with slash /.

This did not work and was ignored by git :

"tdd_venv/"

This worked just fine :

/db.sqlite3
/tdd_venv/

I also checked my file encoding in windows with Notepad++. Encoding was set to UTF-8.

Git Pull vs Git Rebase

In a nutshell :

-> Git Merge: It will simply merge your local changes and remote changes, and that will create another commit history record

-> Git Rebase: It will put your changes above all new remote changes, and rewrite commit history, so your commit history will be much cleaner than git merge. Rebase is a destructive operation. That means, if you do not apply it correctly, you could lose committed work and/or break the consistency of other developer's repositories.

Include headers when using SELECT INTO OUTFILE?

I was writing my code in PHP, and I had a bit of trouble using concat and union functions, and also did not use SQL variables, any ways I got it to work, here is my code:

//first I connected to the information_scheme DB

$headercon=mysqli_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD", "information_schema");

//took the healders out in a string (I could not get the concat function to work, so I wrote a loop for it)

    $headers = '';
    $sql = "SELECT column_name AS columns FROM `COLUMNS` WHERE table_schema = 'YOUR_DB_NAME' AND table_name = 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME'";
    $result = $headercon->query($sql);
    while($row = $result->fetch_row())
    {
        $headers = $headers . "'" . $row[0] . "', ";
    }
$headers = substr("$headers", 0, -2);

// connect to the DB of interest

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD", "YOUR_DB_NAME");

// export the results to csv

How to format a numeric column as phone number in SQL

I do not recommend keeping bad data in the database and then only correcting it on the output. We have a database where phone numbers are entered in variously as :

  • (555) 555-5555
  • 555+555+5555
  • 555.555.5555
  • (555)555-5555
  • 5555555555

Different people in an organization may write various retrieval functions and updates to the database, and therefore it would be harder to set in place formatting and retrieval rules. I am therefore correcting the data in the database first and foremost and then setting in place rules and form validations that protect the integrity of this database going forward.

I see no justification for keeping bad data unless as suggested a duplicate column be added with corrected formatting and the original data kept around for redundancy and reference, and YES I consider badly formatted data as BAD data.

Adding external library into Qt Creator project

The proper way to do this is like this:

LIBS += -L/path/to -lpsapi

This way it will work on all platforms supported by Qt. The idea is that you have to separate the directory from the library name (without the extension and without any 'lib' prefix). Of course, if you are including a Windows specific lib, this really doesn't matter.

In case you want to store your lib files in the project directory, you can reference them with the $$_PRO_FILE_PWD_ variable, e.g.:

LIBS += -L"$$_PRO_FILE_PWD_/3rdparty/libs/" -lpsapi

Filtering by Multiple Specific Model Properties in AngularJS (in OR relationship)

There are a bunch of good solutions here but I'd suggest going the other route with this. If searching is the most important thing and the 'secret' property is not used on the view at all; my approach for this would be to use the built-in angular filter with all its benefits and simply map the model to a new array of objects.

Example from the question:

$scope.people = members.map(function(member) { 
                              return { 
                                name: member.name, 
                                phone: member.phone
                              }});

Now, in html simply use the regular filter to search both these properties.

<div ng-repeat="member in people | filter: searchString">

How can I use Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold in CSS?

"Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold" get working with firefox:

.class {
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-stretch: condensed;
}

But it's fail with Opera.

extract part of a string using bash/cut/split

echo "/var/cpanel/users/joebloggs:DNS9=domain.com" | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\):.*/\1/'

Are there other whitespace codes like &nbsp for half-spaces, em-spaces, en-spaces etc useful in HTML?

There are codes for other space characters, and the codes as such work well, but the characters themselves are legacy character. They have been included into character sets only due to their presence in existing character data, rather than for use in new documents. For some combinations of font and browser version, they may cause a generic glyph of unrepresentable character to be shown. For details, check my page about Unicode spaces.

So using CSS is safer and lets you specify any desired amount of spacing, not just the specific widths of fixed-width spaces. If you just want to have added spacing around your h2 elements, as it seems to me, then setting padding on those elements (changing the value of the padding: 0 settings that you already have) should work fine.

Is there a way to use PhantomJS in Python?

In case you are using Buildout, you can easily automate the installation processes that Pykler describes using the gp.recipe.node recipe.

[nodejs]
recipe = gp.recipe.node
version = 0.10.32
npms = phantomjs
scripts = phantomjs

That part installs node.js as binary (at least on my system) and then uses npm to install PhantomJS. Finally it creates an entry point bin/phantomjs, which you can call the PhantomJS webdriver with. (To install Selenium, you need to specify it in your egg requirements or in the Buildout configuration.)

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS('bin/phantomjs')

ggplot2 plot area margins?

You can adjust the plot margins with plot.margin in theme() and then move your axis labels and title with the vjust argument of element_text(). For example :

library(ggplot2)
library(grid)
qplot(rnorm(100)) +
    ggtitle("Title") +
    theme(axis.title.x=element_text(vjust=-2)) +
    theme(axis.title.y=element_text(angle=90, vjust=-0.5)) +
    theme(plot.title=element_text(size=15, vjust=3)) +
    theme(plot.margin = unit(c(1,1,1,1), "cm"))

will give you something like this :

enter image description here

If you want more informations about the different theme() parameters and their arguments, you can just enter ?theme at the R prompt.

Better way to check if a Path is a File or a Directory?

As an alternative to Directory.Exists(), you can use the File.GetAttributes() method to get the attributes of a file or a directory, so you could create a helper method like this:

private static bool IsDirectory(string path)
{
    System.IO.FileAttributes fa = System.IO.File.GetAttributes(path);
    return (fa & FileAttributes.Directory) != 0;
}

You could also consider adding an object to the tag property of the TreeView control when populating the control that contains additional metadata for the item. For instance, you could add a FileInfo object for files and a DirectoryInfo object for directories and then test for the item type in the tag property to save making additional system calls to get that data when clicking on the item.

How to upgrade Git to latest version on macOS?

It's simple if you already have Homebrew: Assuming you have homebrew installed, type the following:

brew install git

This should automatically install git and set it in your path, replacing the Apple one. Quit and restart terminal. Check git version to confirm.

git --version

If the output of the above command shows the latest version and does not mention Apple with the version details, then you are all set.

If however you still see apple version, then type the following two lines, which will manually set our path to the local git distro instead of the Apple one.

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
git --version

IF YOU DON'T HAVE HOMEBREW, FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Check version

$ git --version

Backup (or remove) Apple git (Optional)

$ sudo mv /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/git-apple

Install Homebrew if you didn’t have

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Or update if you already have

$ brew update && brew upgrade

Install Git with Homebrew

$ brew install git

Symbolic link

$ brew link --force git

Quit terminal and open a new terminal, then check version.

$ git --version

You should see…

git version <latest version>

Nice! We’re safe now! And next time you can just…

$ brew update && brew upgrade

How to run php files on my computer

If you have apache running, put your file in server folder for html files and then call it from web-browser (Like http://localhost/myfile.php ).

One DbContext per web request... why?

There are two contradicting recommendations by microsoft and many people use DbContexts in a completely divergent manner.

  1. One recommendation is to "Dispose DbContexts as soon as posible" because having a DbContext Alive occupies valuable resources like db connections etc....
  2. The other states that One DbContext per request is highly reccomended

Those contradict to each other because if your Request is doing a lot of unrelated to the Db stuff , then your DbContext is kept for no reason. Thus it is waste to keep your DbContext alive while your request is just waiting for random stuff to get done...

So many people who follow rule 1 have their DbContexts inside their "Repository pattern" and create a new Instance per Database Query so X*DbContext per Request

They just get their data and dispose the context ASAP. This is considered by MANY people an acceptable practice. While this has the benefits of occupying your db resources for the minimum time it clearly sacrifices all the UnitOfWork and Caching candy EF has to offer.

Keeping alive a single multipurpose instance of DbContext maximizes the benefits of Caching but since DbContext is not thread safe and each Web request runs on it's own thread, a DbContext per Request is the longest you can keep it.

So EF's team recommendation about using 1 Db Context per request it's clearly based on the fact that in a Web Application a UnitOfWork most likely is going to be within one request and that request has one thread. So one DbContext per request is like the ideal benefit of UnitOfWork and Caching.

But in many cases this is not true. I consider Logging a separate UnitOfWork thus having a new DbContext for Post-Request Logging in async threads is completely acceptable

So Finally it turns down that a DbContext's lifetime is restricted to these two parameters. UnitOfWork and Thread

Retrieving values from nested JSON Object

You can see that JSONObject extends a HashMap, so you can simply use it as a HashMap:

JSONObject jsonChildObject = (JSONObject)jsonObject.get("LanguageLevels");
for (Map.Entry in jsonChildOBject.entrySet()) {

}

What is the difference between URI, URL and URN?

Below I sum up Prateek Joshi's awesome explanation.

The theory:

  • URI (uniform resource identifier) identifies a resource (text document, image file, etc)
  • URL (uniform resource locator) is a subset of the URIs that include a network location
  • URN (uniform resource name) is a subset of URIs that include a name within a given space, but no location

That is:

enter image description here

And for an example:

jQuery Refresh/Reload Page if Ajax Success after time

I prefer this way Using ajaxStop + setInterval,, this will refresh the page after any XHR[ajax] request in the same page

    $(document).ajaxStop(function() {
        setInterval(function() {
            location.reload();
        }, 3000);
    });

boolean in an if statement

The identity (===) operator behaves identically to the equality (==) operator except no type conversion is done, and the types must be the same to be considered equal.

iTunes Connect Screenshots Sizes for all iOS (iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch) devices

I have this page bookmarked and refer back to it frequently, but no one mentions the size for newer 11 inch iPad pro. It's 1668x2388.

Here's a bash script that will resize generic screenshots to the appropriate dimensions. I could not get an iPhone 4 simulator running in the latest xcode as of 2020, so this was necessary for me.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

HERE="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )"

declare -A sizes
sizes["6-5-inch-iphone-xs-max"]="1242x2688"
sizes["5-8-inch-iphone-x"]="1125x2436"
sizes["5-5-inch-iphone-6"]="1242x2208"
sizes["4-7-inch-iphone-6"]="750x1334"
sizes["4-inch-iphone-6"]="640x1096"
sizes["3-5-inch-iphone-4s"]="640x920"
sizes["12-9-inch-ipad-pro-@3"]="2048x2732"
sizes["12-9-inch-ipad-pro-@2"]="2048x2732"
sizes["11-inch-ipad-pro"]="1668x2388"
sizes["10-5-inch-ipad-pro"]="1668x2224"
sizes["9-7-inch-ipad"]="1536x2008"

for i in "${!sizes[@]}"; do
    if [[ "$i" == *"ipad"* ]]; then
        [ -d "$HERE/ipad" ] || continue
        mkdir -p "$HERE/$i"
        cd "$HERE/ipad"
        for file in *.jpg; do
            [ -e "$file" ] || continue
            convert "$file" -resize "${sizes[$i]}"\! "$HERE/$i/$file"
            echo "scaled $file"
        done
    else
        [ -d "$HERE/iphone" ] || continue
        mkdir -p "$HERE/$i"
        cd "$HERE/iphone"
        for file in *.jpg; do
            [ -e "$file" ] || continue
            convert "$file" -resize "${sizes[$i]}"\! "$HERE/$i/$file"
            echo "scaled $file"
        done
    fi
done

To use it, put it in a new directory, and create a /iphone and an /ipad directory next to it. Put your generic ipad and iphone screenshots in those folders. Run the script, it will generate named folders for all sizes.

Disable button in angular with two conditions?

Is this possible in angular 2?

Yes, it is possible.

If both of the conditions are true, will they enable the button?

No, if they are true, then the button will be disabled. disabled="true".

I try the above code but it's not working well

What did you expect? the button will be disabled when valid is false and the angular formGroup, SAForm is not valid.

A recommendation here as well, Please make the button of type button not a submit because this may cause the whole form to submit and you would need to use invalidate and listen to (ngSubmit).

how to check and set max_allowed_packet mysql variable

max_allowed_packet is set in mysql config, not on php side

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=16M 

You can see it's curent value in mysql like this:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet';

You can try to change it like this, but it's unlikely this will work on shared hosting:

SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=16777216;

You can read about it here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/packet-too-large.html

EDIT

The [mysqld] is necessary to make the max_allowed_packet working since at least mysql version 5.5.

Recently setup an instance on AWS EC2 with Drupal and Solr Search Engine, which required 32M max_allowed_packet. It you set the value under [mysqld_safe] (which is default settings came with the mysql installation) mode in /etc/my.cnf, it did no work. I did not dig into the problem. But after I change it to [mysqld] and restarted the mysqld, it worked.

What is the "right" JSON date format?

JSON itself has no date format, it does not care how anyone stores dates. However, since this question is tagged with javascript, I assume you want to know how to store javascript dates in JSON. You can just pass in a date to the JSON.stringify method, and it will use Date.prototype.toJSON by default, which in turns uses Date.prototype.toISOString (MDN on Date.toJSON):

const json = JSON.stringify(new Date());
const parsed = JSON.parse(json); //2015-10-26T07:46:36.611Z
const date = new Date(parsed); // Back to date object

I also found it useful to use the reviver parameter of JSON.parse (MDN on JSON.parse) to automatically convert ISO strings back to javascript dates whenever I read JSON strings.

const isoDatePattern = new RegExp(/\d{4}-[01]\d-[0-3]\dT[0-2]\d:[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d\.\d+([+-][0-2]\d:[0-5]\d|Z)/);

const obj = {
 a: 'foo',
 b: new Date(1500000000000) // Fri Jul 14 2017, etc...
}
const json = JSON.stringify(obj);

// Convert back, use reviver function:
const parsed = JSON.parse(json, (key, value) => {
    if (typeof value === 'string' &&  value.match(isoDatePattern)){
        return new Date(value); // isostring, so cast to js date
    }
    return value; // leave any other value as-is
});
console.log(parsed.b); // // Fri Jul 14 2017, etc...

Change the background color of CardView programmatically

I came across the same issue while trying to create a cardview programmatically, what is strange is that looking at the doc https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/CardView.html#setCardBackgroundColor%28int%29, Google guys made public the api to change the background color of a card view but weirdly i didn't succeed to have access to it in the support library, so here is what worked for me:

CardViewBuilder.java

    mBaseLayout = new FrameLayout(context);
    // FrameLayout Params
    FrameLayout.LayoutParams baseLayoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    mBaseLayout.setLayoutParams(baseLayoutParams);

    // Create the card view.
    mCardview = new CardView(context);
    mCardview.setCardElevation(4f);
    mCardview.setRadius(8f);
    mCardview.setPreventCornerOverlap(true); // The default value for that attribute is by default TRUE, but i reset it to true to make it clear for you guys
    CardView.LayoutParams cardLayoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    cardLayoutParams.setMargins(12, 0, 12, 0);
    mCardview.setLayoutParams(cardLayoutParams);
    // Add the card view to the BaseLayout
    mBaseLayout.addView(mCardview);

    // Create a child view for the cardView that match it's parent size both vertically and horizontally
    // Here i create a horizontal linearlayout, you can instantiate the view of your choice
    mFilterContainer = new LinearLayout(context);
    mFilterContainer.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
    mFilterContainer.setPadding(8, 8, 8, 8);
    mFilterContainer.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gravity.CENTER));

    // And here is the magic to get everything working
    // I create a background drawable for this view that have the required background color
    // and match the rounded radius of the cardview to have it fit in.
    mFilterContainer.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.filter_container_background);

    // Add the horizontal linearlayout to the cardview.
    mCardview.addView(mFilterContainer);

filter_container_background.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>

Doing that i succeed in keeping the cardview shadow and rounded corners.

Is it possible to validate the size and type of input=file in html5

if your using php for the backend maybe you can use this code.

// Validate image file size
if (($_FILES["file-input"]["size"] > 2000000)) {
    $msg = "Image File Size is Greater than 2MB.";
    header("Location: ../product.php?error=$msg");
    exit();
}

Count rows with not empty value

Here's what I believe is the best solution so far:

=CountIf(ArrayFormula(range<>""),TRUE)

Here's why in 3 easy steps

Step 1: Simple As Pie - Add Extra Column

The answer by eniacAvenger will yield the correct solution without worrying about edge cases as =A1<>"" seems to arrive at the correct truthy/falsy value based on how we intuitively think of blank cells, either virgin blanks or created blanks.

So imagine we have this data and we want the Count of non-blanks in B2:B6:

|   |      A      |   B   |    C    |
|---|-------------|-------|---------|
| 1 | Description | Value | B1<>""  |
| 2 | Text        | H     | TRUE    |
| 3 | Number      | 1     | TRUE    |
| 4 | IF -> ""    |       | FALSE   |
| 5 | IF -> Text  | h     | TRUE    |
| 6 | Blank       |       | FALSE   |

If we relied on Column C, we could get the count of values in B like this:

=COUNTIF(C2:C6,True)

Step 2: Use FormulaArray to dynamically create Extra Column

However, consideRatio's comment is a valid one - if you need an extra column, you can often accomplish the same goal with an ArrayFormula which can create a column in memory without eating up sheet space.

So if we want to create C dynamically, we can use an array formula like this:

=ArrayFormula(B2:B6<>"")

If we simply put it in C2, it would create the vertical array with a single stroke of the pen:

|   |      A      |   B   |    C                     |
|---|-------------|-------|--------------------------|
| 1 | Description | Value | =ArrayFormula(B2:B6<>"") |
| 2 | Text        | H     | TRUE                     |
| 3 | Number      | 1     | TRUE                     |
| 4 | IF -> ""    |       | FALSE                    |
| 5 | IF -> Text  | h     | TRUE                     |
| 6 | Blank       |       | FALSE                    |

Step 3: Count Values in Dynamic Column

But with that solved, we no longer need the column to merely display the values.

ArrayFormula will resolve to the following range: {True,True,False,True,False}.
CountIf just takes in any range and in this case can count the number of True values.

So we can wrap CountIf around the values produced by ArrayFormula like this:

=CountIf(ArrayFormula(B2:B6<>""),TRUE)

The other solutions in this thread are either overly complex, or fail in particular edge cases that I've enumerated in this test sheet:

Google Spreadsheet - CountA Test - Demo

For why CountA works the wonky way it does, see my answer here

'this' vs $scope in AngularJS controllers

$scope has a different 'this' then the controller 'this'.Thus if you put a console.log(this) inside controller it gives you a object(controller) and this.addPane() adds addPane Method to the controller Object. But the $scope has different scope and all method in its scope need to be accesed by $scope.methodName(). this.methodName() inside controller means to add methos inside controller object.$scope.functionName() is in HTML and inside

$scope.functionName(){
    this.name="Name";

How do I save a String to a text file using Java?

If you only care about pushing one block of text to file, this will overwrite it each time.

JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    FileOutputStream stream = null;
    PrintStream out = null;
    try {
        File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
        stream = new FileOutputStream(file); 
        String text = "Your String goes here";
        out = new PrintStream(stream);
        out.print(text);                  //This will overwrite existing contents

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        //do something
    } finally {
        try {
            if(stream!=null) stream.close();
            if(out!=null) out.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            //do something
        }
    }
}

This example allows the user to select a file using a file chooser.

What is the difference between Hibernate and Spring Data JPA

Hibernate is a JPA implementation, while Spring Data JPA is a JPA data access abstraction. Spring Data JPA cannot work without a JPA provider.

Spring Data offers a solution to the DDD Repository pattern or the legacy GenericDao custom implementations. It can also generate JPA queries on your behalf through method name conventions.

With Spring Data, you may use Hibernate, EclipseLink, or any other JPA provider. A very interesting benefit of using Spring or Java EE is that you can control transaction boundaries declaratively using the @Transactional annotation.

Spring JDBC is much more lightweight, and it's intended for native querying, and if you only intend to use JDBC alone, then you are better off using Spring JDBC to deal with the JDBC verbosity.

Therefore, Hibernate and Spring Data are complementary rather than competitors.

OpenSSL and error in reading openssl.conf file

Get POST data in C#/ASP.NET

I'm a little surprised that this question has been asked so many times before, but the most reuseable and friendly solution hasn't been documented.

I often have webpages using AngularJS, and when I click on a Save button, I'll "POST" this data back to my .aspx page or .ashx handler to save this back to the database. The data will be in the form of a JSON record.

On the server, to turn the raw posted data back into a C# class, here's what I would do.

First, define a C# class which will contain the posted data.

Supposing my webpage is posting JSON data like this:

{
    "UserID" : 1,
    "FirstName" : "Mike",
    "LastName" : "Mike",
    "Address1" : "10 Really Street",
    "Address2" : "London"
}

Then I'd define a C# class like this...

public class JSONRequest
{
    public int UserID { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Address1 { get; set; }
    public string Address2 { get; set; }
}

(These classes can be nested, but the structure must match the format of the JSON data. So, if you're posting a JSON User record, with a list of Order records within it, your C# class should also contain a List<> of Order records.)

Now, in my .aspx.cs or .ashx file, I just need to do this, and leave JSON.Net to do the hard work...

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string jsonString = "";
        HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
        using (StreamReader inputStream = new StreamReader(this.Request.InputStream))
        {
            jsonString = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
        }
        JSONRequest oneQuestion = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JSONRequest>(jsonString);

And that's it. You now have a JSONRequest class containing the various fields which were POSTed to your server.

How to click on hidden element in Selenium WebDriver?

You have two approaches. Selenium has been specifically written to NOT allow interaction with hidden elements. The rational is that if a person cannot perform that action, then neither should Selenium. Therefore, to perform the click via Selenium, you must perform the action a user would do to make that button visible (e.g mouse over event, click another element, etc) then perform the click once visible.

However, Selenium does allow you to execute Javascript within the context of an element, so you could write Javascript to perform the click event even if it is hidden.

My preference is to always try and perform the actions to make the button visible

C-like structures in Python

There is a python package exactly for this purpose. see cstruct2py

cstruct2py is a pure python library for generate python classes from C code and use them to pack and unpack data. The library can parse C headres (structs, unions, enums, and arrays declarations) and emulate them in python. The generated pythonic classes can parse and pack the data.

For example:

typedef struct {
  int x;
  int y;
} Point;

after generating pythonic class...
p = Point(x=0x1234, y=0x5678)
p.packed == "\x34\x12\x00\x00\x78\x56\x00\x00"

How to use

First we need to generate the pythonic structs:

import cstruct2py
parser = cstruct2py.c2py.Parser()
parser.parse_file('examples/example.h')

Now we can import all names from the C code:

parser.update_globals(globals())

We can also do that directly:

A = parser.parse_string('struct A { int x; int y;};')

Using types and defines from the C code

a = A()
a.x = 45
print a
buf = a.packed
b = A(buf)
print b
c = A('aaaa11112222', 2)
print c
print repr(c)

The output will be:

{'x':0x2d, 'y':0x0}
{'x':0x2d, 'y':0x0}
{'x':0x31316161, 'y':0x32323131}
A('aa111122', x=0x31316161, y=0x32323131)

Clone

For clone cstruct2py run:

git clone https://github.com/st0ky/cstruct2py.git --recursive

How do I add 24 hours to a unix timestamp in php?

As you have said if you want to add 24 hours to the timestamp for right now then simply you can do:

 <?php echo strtotime('+1 day'); ?>

Above code will add 1 day or 24 hours to your current timestamp.

in place of +1 day you can take whatever you want, As php manual says strtotime can Parse about any English textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp.

examples from the manual are as below:

<?php
     echo strtotime("now"), "\n";
     echo strtotime("10 September 2000"), "\n";
     echo strtotime("+1 day"), "\n";
     echo strtotime("+1 week"), "\n";
     echo strtotime("+1 week 2 days 4 hours 2 seconds"), "\n";
     echo strtotime("next Thursday"), "\n";
     echo strtotime("last Monday"), "\n";
?>

How to customise file type to syntax associations in Sublime Text?

There is a quick method to set the syntax: Ctrl+Shift+P,then type in the input box

ss + (which type you want set)

eg: ss html +Enter

and ss means "set syntax"

it is really quicker than check in the menu's checkbox.

How to read request body in an asp.net core webapi controller?

Recently I came across a very elegant solution that take in random JSON that you have no idea the structure:

    [HttpPost]
    public JsonResult Test([FromBody] JsonElement json)
    {
        return Json(json);
    }

Just that easy.

How do I make an Event in the Usercontrol and have it handled in the Main Form?

you can do like this.....the below example shows text box(user control) value changed

   // Declare a delegate 
public delegate void ValueChangedEventHandler(object sender, ValueChangedEventArgs e);
public partial class SampleUserControl : TextBox 
{    
    public SampleUserControl() 
    { 
        InitializeComponent(); 
    }

    // Declare an event 
    public event ValueChangedEventHandler ValueChanged;

    protected virtual void OnValueChanged(ValueChangedEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (ValueChanged != null) 
            ValueChanged(this,e); 
    }    
    private void SampleUserControl_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        TextBox tb  = (TextBox)sender; 
        int value; 
        if (!int.TryParse(tb.Text, out value)) 
            value = 0; 
        // Raise the event 
       OnValueChanged( new ValueChangedEventArgs(value)); 
    }    
}

Selecting rows where remainder (modulo) is 1 after division by 2?

At least some versions of SQL (Oracle, Informix, DB2, ISO Standard) support:

WHERE MOD(value, 2) = 1

MySQL supports '%' as the modulus operator:

WHERE value % 2 = 1

Always show vertical scrollbar in <select>

I guess you cant, this maybe a limitation or not included in the IE browser. I have tried your jsfiddle with IE6-8 and all of it doesn't show the scrollbar and not sure with IE9. While in FF and chrome the scrollbar is shown. I also want to see how to do it in IE if possible.

If you really want to show the scrollbar, you can add a fake scrollbar. If you are familiar with some of the js library which use in RIA. Like in jquery/dojo some of the select is editable, because it is a combination of textbox + select or it can also be a textbox + div.

As an example, see it here a JavaScript that make select like editable.

"for" vs "each" in Ruby

I just want to make a specific point about the for in loop in Ruby. It might seem like a construct similar to other languages, but in fact it is an expression like every other looping construct in Ruby. In fact, the for in works with Enumerable objects just as the each iterator.

The collection passed to for in can be any object that has an each iterator method. Arrays and hashes define the each method, and many other Ruby objects do, too. The for/in loop calls the each method of the specified object. As that iterator yields values, the for loop assigns each value (or each set of values) to the specified variable (or variables) and then executes the code in body.

This is a silly example, but illustrates the point that the for in loop works with ANY object that has an each method, just like how the each iterator does:

class Apple
  TYPES = %w(red green yellow)
  def each
    yield TYPES.pop until TYPES.empty?
  end
end

a = Apple.new
for i in a do
  puts i
end
yellow
green
red
=> nil

And now the each iterator:

a = Apple.new
a.each do |i|
  puts i
end
yellow
green
red
=> nil

As you can see, both are responding to the each method which yields values back to the block. As everyone here stated, it is definitely preferable to use the each iterator over the for in loop. I just wanted to drive home the point that there is nothing magical about the for in loop. It is an expression that invokes the each method of a collection and then passes it to its block of code. Hence, it is a very rare case you would need to use for in. Use the each iterator almost always (with the added benefit of block scope).

Disabling Controls in Bootstrap

installing cPickle with python 3.5

cPickle comes with the standard library… in python 2.x. You are on python 3.x, so if you want cPickle, you can do this:

>>> import _pickle as cPickle

However, in 3.x, it's easier just to use pickle.

No need to install anything. If something requires cPickle in python 3.x, then that's probably a bug.

Concept behind putting wait(),notify() methods in Object class

Answer to your first question is As every object in java has only one lock(monitor) andwait(),notify(),notifyAll() are used for monitor sharing thats why they are part of Object class rather than Threadclass.

Why is my power operator (^) not working?

First of all ^ is a Bitwise XOR operator not power operator.

You can use other things to find power of any number. You can use for loop to find power of any number

Here is a program to find x^y i.e. xy

double i, x, y, pow;

x = 2;
y = 5; 
pow = 1;
for(i=1; i<=y; i++)
{
    pow = pow * x;
}

printf("2^5 = %lf", pow);

You can also simply use pow() function to find power of any number

double power, x, y;
x = 2;
y = 5;
power = pow(x, y); /* include math.h header file */

printf("2^5 = %lf", power);

android edittext onchange listener

    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
        new SearchTask().execute(seq.toString().trim());
    }

How to capture the "virtual keyboard show/hide" event in Android?

If you want to handle show/hide of IMM (virtual) keyboard window from your Activity, you'll need to subclass your layout and override onMesure method(so that you can determine the measured width and the measured height of your layout). After that set subclassed layout as main view for your Activity by setContentView(). Now you'll be able to handle IMM show/hide window events. If this sounds complicated, it's not that really. Here's the code:

main.xml

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
        <EditText
             android:id="@+id/SearchText" 
             android:text="" 
             android:inputType="text"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_height="34dip"
             android:singleLine="True"
             />
        <Button
             android:id="@+id/Search" 
             android:layout_width="60dip"
             android:layout_height="34dip"
             android:gravity = "center"
             />
    </LinearLayout>

Now inside your Activity declare subclass for your layout (main.xml)

    public class MainSearchLayout extends LinearLayout {

    public MainSearchLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {
        super(context, attributeSet);
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, this);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        Log.d("Search Layout", "Handling Keyboard Window shown");

        final int proposedheight = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
        final int actualHeight = getHeight();

        if (actualHeight > proposedheight){
            // Keyboard is shown

        } else {
            // Keyboard is hidden
        }
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    }
}

You can see from the code that we inflate layout for our Activity in subclass constructor

inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, this);

And now just set content view of subclassed layout for our Activity.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        MainSearchLayout searchLayout = new MainSearchLayout(this, null);

        setContentView(searchLayout);
    }

    // rest of the Activity code and subclassed layout...

}

Java double.MAX_VALUE?

Resurrecting the dead here, but just in case someone stumbles against this like myself. I know where to get the maximum value of a double, the (more) interesting part was to how did they get to that number.

double has 64 bits. The first one is reserved for the sign.

Next 11 represent the exponent (that is 1023 biased). It's just another way to represent the positive/negative values. If there are 11 bits then the max value is 1023.

Then there are 52 bits that hold the mantissa.

This is easily computed like this for example:

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String test = Strings.repeat("1", 52);

    double first = 0.5;
    double result = 0.0;
    for (char c : test.toCharArray()) {
        result += first;
        first = first / 2;
    }

    System.out.println(result); // close approximation of 1
    System.out.println(Math.pow(2, 1023) * (1 + result));
    System.out.println(Double.MAX_VALUE);

} 

You can also prove this in reverse order :

    String max = "0" + Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToLongBits(Double.MAX_VALUE));

    String sign = max.substring(0, 1);
    String exponent = max.substring(1, 12); // 11111111110
    String mantissa = max.substring(12, 64);

    System.out.println(sign); // 0 - positive
    System.out.println(exponent); // 2046 - 1023 = 1023
    System.out.println(mantissa); // 0.99999...8

How to get value of checked item from CheckedListBox?

I've already posted GetItemValue extension method in this post Get the value for a listbox item by index. This extension method will work for all ListControl classes including CheckedListBox, ListBox and ComboBox.


None of the existing answers are general enough, but there is a general solution for the problem.

In all cases, the underlying Value of an item should be calculated regarding to ValueMember, regardless of the type of data source.

The data source of the CheckedListBox may be a DataTable or it may be a list which contains objects, like a List<T>, so the items of a CheckedListBox control may be DataRowView, Complex Objects, Anonymous types, primary types and other types.

GetItemValue Extension Method

We need a GetItemValue which works similar to GetItemText, but return an object, the underlying value of an item, regardless of the type of object you added as item.

We can create GetItemValue extension method to get item value which works like GetItemText:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.ComponentModel;
public static class ListControlExtensions
{
    public static object GetItemValue(this ListControl list, object item)
    {
        if (item == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("item");

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(list.ValueMember))
            return item;

        var property = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(item)[list.ValueMember];
        if (property == null)
            throw new ArgumentException(
                string.Format("item doesn't contain '{0}' property or column.",
                list.ValueMember));
        return property.GetValue(item);
    }
}

Using above method you don't need to worry about settings of ListBox and it will return expected Value for an item. It works with List<T>, Array, ArrayList, DataTable, List of Anonymous Types, list of primary types and all other lists which you can use as data source. Here is an example of usage:

//Gets underlying value at index 2 based on settings
this.checkedListBox.GetItemValue(this.checkedListBox.Items[2]);

Since we created the GetItemValue method as an extension method, when you want to use the method, don't forget to include the namespace in which you put the class.

This method is applicable on ComboBox and CheckedListBox too.

            </div >**

Getting the HTTP Referrer in ASP.NET

Request.Headers["Referer"]

Explanation

The Request.UrlReferer property will throw a System.UriFormatException if the referer HTTP header is malformed (which can happen since it is not usually under your control).

Therefore, the Request.UrlReferer property is not 100% reliable - it may contain data that cannot be parsed into a Uri class. To ensure the value is always readable, use Request.Headers["Referrer"] instead.

As for using Request.ServerVariables as others here have suggested, per MSDN:

Request.ServerVariables Collection

The ServerVariables collection retrieves the values of predetermined environment variables and request header information.

Request.Headers Property

Gets a collection of HTTP headers.

Request.Headers is a better choice than Request.ServerVariables, since Request.ServerVariables contains all of the environment variables as well as the headers, where Request.Headers is a much shorter list that only contains the headers.

So the most reliable solution is to use the Request.Headers collection to read the value directly. Do heed Microsoft's warnings about HTML encoding the value if you are going to display it on a form, though.

Download a specific tag with Git

$ git clone

will give you the whole repository.

After the clone, you can list the tags with $ git tag -l and then checkout a specific tag:

$ git checkout tags/<tag_name>

Even better, checkout and create a branch (otherwise you will be on a branch named after the revision number of tag):

$ git checkout tags/<tag_name> -b <branch_name>

Disabling tab focus on form elements

Similar to Yipio, I added notab="notab" as an attribute to any element I wanted to disable the tab too. My jQuery is then one line.

$('input[notab=notab]').on('keydown', function(e){ if (e.keyCode == 9)  e.preventDefault() });

Btw, keypress doesn't work for many control keys.

Exploitable PHP functions

i'd particularly want to add unserialize() to this list. It has had a long history of various vulnerabilities including arbitrary code execution, denial of service and memory information leakage. It should never be called on user-supplied data. Many of these vuls have been fixed in releases over the last dew years, but it still retains a couple of nasty vuls at the current time of writing.

    <option>7</option>
</select>
