Programs & Examples On #Caret

caret refers to an onscreen text-cursor. For the R package, use the `r-caret` tag. For the ASCII character, user the `punctuation` tag.

Styling text input caret

It is enough to use color property alongside with -webkit-text-fill-color this way:

_x000D_
_x000D_
    input {_x000D_
        color: red; /* color of caret */_x000D_
        -webkit-text-fill-color: black; /* color of text */_x000D_
    }
_x000D_
<input type="text"/>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Works in WebKit browsers (but not in iOS Safari, where is still used system color for caret) and also in Firefox.

The -webkit-text-fill-color CSS property specifies the fill color of characters of text. If this property is not set, the value of the color property is used. MDN

So this means we set text color with text-fill-color and caret color with standard color property. In unsupported browser, caret and text will have same color – color of the caret.

How to get the caret column (not pixels) position in a textarea, in characters, from the start?

Updated 5 September 2010

Seeing as everyone seems to get directed here for this issue, I'm adding my answer to a similar question, which contains the same code as this answer but with full background for those who are interested:

IE's document.selection.createRange doesn't include leading or trailing blank lines

To account for trailing line breaks is tricky in IE, and I haven't seen any solution that does this correctly, including any other answers to this question. It is possible, however, using the following function, which will return you the start and end of the selection (which are the same in the case of a caret) within a <textarea> or text <input>.

Note that the textarea must have focus for this function to work properly in IE. If in doubt, call the textarea's focus() method first.

function getInputSelection(el) {
    var start = 0, end = 0, normalizedValue, range,
        textInputRange, len, endRange;

    if (typeof el.selectionStart == "number" && typeof el.selectionEnd == "number") {
        start = el.selectionStart;
        end = el.selectionEnd;
    } else {
        range = document.selection.createRange();

        if (range && range.parentElement() == el) {
            len = el.value.length;
            normalizedValue = el.value.replace(/\r\n/g, "\n");

            // Create a working TextRange that lives only in the input
            textInputRange = el.createTextRange();
            textInputRange.moveToBookmark(range.getBookmark());

            // Check if the start and end of the selection are at the very end
            // of the input, since moveStart/moveEnd doesn't return what we want
            // in those cases
            endRange = el.createTextRange();
            endRange.collapse(false);

            if (textInputRange.compareEndPoints("StartToEnd", endRange) > -1) {
                start = end = len;
            } else {
                start = -textInputRange.moveStart("character", -len);
                start += normalizedValue.slice(0, start).split("\n").length - 1;

                if (textInputRange.compareEndPoints("EndToEnd", endRange) > -1) {
                    end = len;
                } else {
                    end = -textInputRange.moveEnd("character", -len);
                    end += normalizedValue.slice(0, end).split("\n").length - 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return {
        start: start,
        end: end
    };
}

How to set caret(cursor) position in contenteditable element (div)?

I'm writting a syntax highlighter (and basic code editor), and I needed to know how to auto-type a single quote char and move the caret back (like a lot of code editors nowadays).

Heres a snippet of my solution, thanks to much help from this thread, the MDN docs, and a lot of moz console watching..

//onKeyPress event

if (evt.key === "\"") {
    let sel = window.getSelection();
    let offset = sel.focusOffset;
    let focus = sel.focusNode;

    focus.textContent += "\""; //setting div's innerText directly creates new
    //nodes, which invalidate our selections, so we modify the focusNode directly

    let range = document.createRange();
    range.selectNode(focus);
    range.setStart(focus, offset);

    range.collapse(true);
    sel.removeAllRanges();
    sel.addRange(range);
}

//end onKeyPress event

This is in a contenteditable div element

I leave this here as a thanks, realizing there is already an accepted answer.

Disable eslint rules for folder

To ignore some folder from eslint rules we could create the file .eslintignore in root directory and add there the path to the folder we want omit (the same way as for .gitignore).

Here is the example from the ESLint docs on Ignoring Files and Directories:

# path/to/project/root/.eslintignore
# /node_modules/* and /bower_components/* in the project root are ignored by default

# Ignore built files except build/index.js
build/*
!build/index.js

MySQL select all rows from last month until (now() - 1 month), for comparative purposes

Getting one month ago is easy with a single MySQL function:

SELECT DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH);

or

SELECT NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH;

Off the top of my head, I can't think of an elegant way to get the first day of last month in MySQL, but this will certainly work:

SELECT CONCAT(LEFT(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH,7),'-01');

Put them together and you get a query that solves your problem:

SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE t >= CONCAT(LEFT(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH,7),'-01')
AND t <= NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH

CSS/Javascript to force html table row on a single line

I wonder if it might be worth using PHP (or another server-side scripting language) or Javascript to truncate the strings to the right length (although calculating the right length is tricky, unless you use a fixed-width font)?

Escape invalid XML characters in C#

Here is an optimized version of the above method RemoveInvalidXmlChars which doesn't create a new array on every call, thus stressing the GC unnecessarily:

public static string RemoveInvalidXmlChars(string text)
{
    if (text == null)
        return text;
    if (text.Length == 0)
        return text;

    // a bit complicated, but avoids memory usage if not necessary
    StringBuilder result = null;
    for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
    {
        var ch = text[i];
        if (XmlConvert.IsXmlChar(ch))
        {
            result?.Append(ch);
        }
        else if (result == null)
        {
            result = new StringBuilder();
            result.Append(text.Substring(0, i));
        }
    }

    if (result == null)
        return text; // no invalid xml chars detected - return original text
    else
        return result.ToString();

}

How can I sort a std::map first by value, then by key?

std::map will sort its elements by keys. It doesn't care about the values when sorting.

You can use std::vector<std::pair<K,V>> then sort it using std::sort followed by std::stable_sort:

std::vector<std::pair<K,V>> items;

//fill items

//sort by value using std::sort
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end(), value_comparer);

//sort by key using std::stable_sort
std::stable_sort(items.begin(), items.end(), key_comparer);

The first sort should use std::sort since it is nlog(n), and then use std::stable_sort which is n(log(n))^2 in the worst case.

Note that while std::sort is chosen for performance reason, std::stable_sort is needed for correct ordering, as you want the order-by-value to be preserved.


@gsf noted in the comment, you could use only std::sort if you choose a comparer which compares values first, and IF they're equal, sort the keys.

auto cmp = [](std::pair<K,V> const & a, std::pair<K,V> const & b) 
{ 
     return a.second != b.second?  a.second < b.second : a.first < b.first;
};
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end(), cmp);

That should be efficient.

But wait, there is a better approach: store std::pair<V,K> instead of std::pair<K,V> and then you don't need any comparer at all — the standard comparer for std::pair would be enough, as it compares first (which is V) first then second which is K:

std::vector<std::pair<V,K>> items;
//...
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end());

That should work great.

JavaScript checking for null vs. undefined and difference between == and ===

The spec is the place to go for full answers to these questions. Here's a summary:

  1. For a variable x, you can:

    • check whether it's null by direct comparison using ===. Example: x === null
    • check whether it's undefined by either of two basic methods: direct comparison with undefined or typeof. For various reasons, I prefer typeof x === "undefined".
    • check whether it's one of null and undefined by using == and relying on the slightly arcane type coercion rules that mean x == null does exactly what you want.

  2. The basic difference between == and === is that if the operands are of different types, === will always return false while == will convert one or both operands into the same type using rules that lead to some slightly unintuitive behaviour. If the operands are of the same type (e.g. both are strings, such as in the typeof comparison above), == and === will behave exactly the same.

Javascript, Time and Date: Getting the current minute, hour, day, week, month, year of a given millisecond time

The variable names should be descriptive:

var date = new Date;
date.setTime(result_from_Date_getTime);

var seconds = date.getSeconds();
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
var hour = date.getHours();

var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date.getMonth(); // beware: January = 0; February = 1, etc.
var day = date.getDate();

var dayOfWeek = date.getDay(); // Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, etc.
var milliSeconds = date.getMilliseconds();

The days of a given month do not change. In a leap year, February has 29 days. Inspired by http://www.javascriptkata.com/2007/05/24/how-to-know-if-its-a-leap-year/ (thanks Peter Bailey!)

Continued from the previous code:

var days_in_months = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];
// for leap years, February has 29 days. Check whether
// February, the 29th exists for the given year
if( (new Date(year, 1, 29)).getDate() == 29 ) days_in_month[1] = 29;

There is no straightforward way to get the week of a year. For the answer on that question, see Is there a way in javascript to create a date object using year & ISO week number?

What is the difference between Eclipse for Java (EE) Developers and Eclipse Classic?

If you want to build Java EE applications, it's best to use Eclipse IDE for Java EE. It has editors from HTML to JSP/JSF, Javascript. It's rich for webapps development, and provide plugins and tools to develop Java EE applications easily (all bundled).

Eclipse Classic is basically the full featured Eclipse without the Java EE part.

how to make a jquery "$.post" request synchronous

From the Jquery docs: you specify the async option to be false to get a synchronous Ajax request. Then your callback can set some data before your mother function proceeds.

Here's what your code would look like if changed as suggested:

beforecreate: function(node,targetNode,type,to) {
    jQuery.ajax({
         url:    url,
         success: function(result) {
                      if(result.isOk == false)
                          alert(result.message);
                  },
         async:   false
    });          
}

this is because $.ajax is the only request type that you can set the asynchronousity for

Clone only one branch

From the announcement Git 1.7.10 (April 2012):

  • git clone learned --single-branch option to limit cloning to a single branch (surprise!); tags that do not point into the history of the branch are not fetched.

Git actually allows you to clone only one branch, for example:

git clone -b mybranch --single-branch git://sub.domain.com/repo.git

Note: Also you can add another single branch or "undo" this action.

How to import an Excel file into SQL Server?

There are many articles about writing code to import an excel file, but this is a manual/shortcut version:

If you don't need to import your Excel file programmatically using code you can do it very quickly using the menu in SQL Management Studio.

The quickest way to get your Excel file into SQL is by using the import wizard:

  1. Open SSMS (Sql Server Management Studio) and connect to the database where you want to import your file into.
  2. Import Data: in SSMS in Object Explorer under 'Databases' right-click the destination database, select Tasks, Import Data. An import wizard will pop up (you can usually just click 'Next' on the first screen).

enter image description here

  1. The next window is 'Choose a Data Source', select Excel:

    • In the 'Data Source' dropdown list select Microsoft Excel (this option should appear automatically if you have excel installed).

    • Click the 'Browse' button to select the path to the Excel file you want to import.

    • Select the version of the excel file (97-2003 is usually fine for files with a .XLS extension, or use 2007 for newer files with a .XLSX extension)
    • Tick the 'First Row has headers' checkbox if your excel file contains headers.
    • Click next.

enter image description here

  1. On the 'Choose a Destination' screen, select destination database:
    • Select the 'Server name', Authentication (typically your sql username & password) and select a Database as destination. Click Next.

enter image description here

  1. On the 'Specify Table Copy or Query' window:

    • For simplicity just select 'Copy data from one or more tables or views', click Next.
  2. 'Select Source Tables:' choose the worksheet(s) from your Excel file and specify a destination table for each worksheet. If you don't have a table yet the wizard will very kindly create a new table that matches all the columns from your spreadsheet. Click Next.

enter image description here

  1. Click Finish.

Go doing a GET request and building the Querystring

As a commenter mentioned you can get Values from net/url which has an Encode method. You could do something like this (req.URL.Query() returns the existing url.Values)

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popular", nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Print(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

    q := req.URL.Query()
    q.Add("api_key", "key_from_environment_or_flag")
    q.Add("another_thing", "foo & bar")
    req.URL.RawQuery = q.Encode()

    fmt.Println(req.URL.String())
    // Output:
    // http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popular?another_thing=foo+%26+bar&api_key=key_from_environment_or_flag

How to select first and last TD in a row?

If the row contains some leading (or trailing) th tags before the td you should use the :first-of-type and the :last-of-type selectors. Otherwise the first td won't be selected if it's not the first element of the row.

This gives:

td:first-of-type, td:last-of-type {
    /* styles */
}

How to pass event as argument to an inline event handler in JavaScript?

to pass the event object:

<p id="p" onclick="doSomething(event)">

to get the clicked child element (should be used with event parameter:

function doSomething(e) {
    e = e || window.event;
    var target = e.target || e.srcElement;
    console.log(target);
}

to pass the element itself (DOMElement):

<p id="p" onclick="doThing(this)">

see live example on jsFiddle.

You can specify the name of the event as above, but alternatively your handler can access the event parameter as described here: "When the event handler is specified as an HTML attribute, the specified code is wrapped into a function with the following parameters". There's much more additional documentation at the link.

Object of custom type as dictionary key

You need to add 2 methods, note __hash__ and __eq__:

class MyThing:
    def __init__(self,name,location,length):
        self.name = name
        self.location = location
        self.length = length

    def __hash__(self):
        return hash((self.name, self.location))

    def __eq__(self, other):
        return (self.name, self.location) == (other.name, other.location)

    def __ne__(self, other):
        # Not strictly necessary, but to avoid having both x==y and x!=y
        # True at the same time
        return not(self == other)

The Python dict documentation defines these requirements on key objects, i.e. they must be hashable.

How can I schedule a job to run a SQL query daily?

  1. Expand the SQL Server Agent node and right click the Jobs node in SQL Server Agent and select 'New Job'

  2. In the 'New Job' window enter the name of the job and a description on the 'General' tab.

  3. Select 'Steps' on the left hand side of the window and click 'New' at the bottom.

  4. In the 'Steps' window enter a step name and select the database you want the query to run against.

  5. Paste in the T-SQL command you want to run into the Command window and click 'OK'.

  6. Click on the 'Schedule' menu on the left of the New Job window and enter the schedule information (e.g. daily and a time).

  7. Click 'OK' - and that should be it.

(There are of course other options you can add - but I would say that is the bare minimum you need to get a job set up and scheduled)

How to get full REST request body using Jersey?

It does seem you would have to use a MessageBodyReader here. Here's an example, using jdom:

import org.jdom.Document;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.MultivaluedMap;
import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.lang.annotation.Annotation;
import java.io.InputStream;

@Provider // this annotation is necessary!
@ConsumeMime("application/xml") // this is a hint to the system to only consume xml mime types
public class XMLMessageBodyReader implements MessageBodyReader<Document> {
  private SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();

  public boolean isReadable(Class type, Type genericType, Annotation[] annotations, MediaType mediaType) {
    // check if we're requesting a jdom Document
    return Document.class.isAssignableFrom(type);
  }

  public Document readFrom(Class type, Type genericType, Annotation[] annotations, MediaType mediaType, MultivaluedMap<String, String> httpHeaders, InputStream entityStream) {
    try {
      return builder.build(entityStream);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
      // handle error somehow
    }
  } 
}

Add this class to the list of resources your jersey deployment will process (usually configured via web.xml, I think). You can then use this reader in one of your regular resource classes like this:

@Path("/somepath") @POST
public void handleXMLData(Document doc) {
  // do something with the document
}

I haven't verified that this works exactly as typed, but that's the gist of it. More reading here:

Deny direct access to all .php files except index.php

Instead of passing a variable around I do this which is self-contained at the top of any page you don't want direct access to, this should still be paired with .htaccess rules but I feel safer knowing there is a fail-safe if htaccess ever gets messes up.

<?php
// Security check: Deny direct file access; must be loaded through index
if (count(get_included_files()) == 1) {
    header("Location: index.php"); // Send to index
    die("403"); // Must include to stop PHP from continuing
}
?>

sql like operator to get the numbers only

You can use the following to only include valid characters:

6435.23
2

select * from [member] where DatePart("m", date_created) = DatePart("m", DateAdd("m", -1, getdate())) AND DatePart("yyyy", date_created) = DatePart("yyyy", DateAdd("m", -1, getdate()))

C# adding a character in a string

You may define this extension method:

public static class StringExtenstions
    {
        public static string InsertCharAtDividedPosition(this string str, int count, string character)
        {
            var i = 0;
            while (++i * count + (i - 1) < str.Length)
            {
                str = str.Insert((i * count + (i - 1)), character);
            }
            return str;
        }
    }

And use it like:

var str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
str = str.InsertCharAtDividedPosition(5, "-");

How to preview git-pull without doing fetch?

After doing a git fetch, do a git log HEAD..origin/master to show the log entries between your last common commit and the origin's master branch. To show the diffs, use either git log -p HEAD..origin/master to show each patch, or git diff HEAD...origin/master (three dots not two) to show a single diff.

There normally isn't any need to undo a fetch, because doing a fetch only updates the remote branches and none of your branches. If you're not prepared to do a pull and merge in all the remote commits, you can use git cherry-pick to accept only the specific remote commits you want. Later, when you're ready to get everything, a git pull will merge in the rest of the commits.

Update: I'm not entirely sure why you want to avoid the use of git fetch. All git fetch does is update your local copy of the remote branches. This local copy doesn't have anything to do with any of your branches, and it doesn't have anything to do with uncommitted local changes. I have heard of people who run git fetch in a cron job because it's so safe. (I wouldn't normally recommend doing that, though.)

Setting up and using Meld as your git difftool and mergetool

How do I set up and use Meld as my git difftool?

git difftool displays the diff using a GUI diff program (i.e. Meld) instead of displaying the diff output in your terminal.

Although you can set the GUI program on the command line using -t <tool> / --tool=<tool> it makes more sense to configure it in your .gitconfig file. [Note: See the sections about escaping quotes and Windows paths at the bottom.]

# Add the following to your .gitconfig file.
[diff]
    tool = meld
[difftool]
    prompt = false
[difftool "meld"]
    cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"

[Note: These settings will not alter the behaviour of git diff which will continue to function as usual.]

You use git difftool in exactly the same way as you use git diff. e.g.

git difftool <COMMIT_HASH> file_name
git difftool <BRANCH_NAME> file_name
git difftool <COMMIT_HASH_1> <COMMIT_HASH_2> file_name

If properly configured a Meld window will open displaying the diff using a GUI interface.

The order of the Meld GUI window panes can be controlled by the order of $LOCAL and $REMOTE in cmd, that is to say which file is shown in the left pane and which in the right pane. If you want them the other way around simply swap them around like this:

    cmd = meld "$REMOTE" "$LOCAL"

Finally the prompt = false line simply stops git from prompting you as to whether you want to launch Meld or not, by default git will issue a prompt.


How do I set up and use Meld as my git mergetool?

git mergetool allows you to use a GUI merge program (i.e. Meld) to resolve the merge conflicts that have occurred during a merge.

Like difftool you can set the GUI program on the command line using -t <tool> / --tool=<tool> but, as before, it makes more sense to configure it in your .gitconfig file. [Note: See the sections about escaping quotes and Windows paths at the bottom.]

# Add the following to your .gitconfig file.
[merge]
    tool = meld
[mergetool "meld"]
    # Choose one of these 2 lines (not both!) explained below.
    cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$MERGED" "$REMOTE" --output "$MERGED"
    cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$BASE" "$REMOTE" --output "$MERGED"

You do NOT use git mergetool to perform an actual merge. Before using git mergetool you perform a merge in the usual way with git. e.g.

git checkout master
git merge branch_name

If there is a merge conflict git will display something like this:

$ git merge branch_name
Auto-merging file_name
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in file_name
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

At this point file_name will contain the partially merged file with the merge conflict information (that's the file with all the >>>>>>> and <<<<<<< entries in it).

Mergetool can now be used to resolve the merge conflicts. You start it very easily with:

git mergetool

If properly configured a Meld window will open displaying 3 files. Each file will be contained in a separate pane of its GUI interface.

In the example .gitconfig entry above, 2 lines are suggested as the [mergetool "meld"] cmd line. In fact there are all kinds of ways for advanced users to configure the cmd line, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.

This answer has 2 alternative cmd lines which, between them, will cater for most users, and will be a good starting point for advanced users who wish to take the tool to the next level of complexity.

Firstly here is what the parameters mean:

  • $LOCAL is the file in the current branch (e.g. master).
  • $REMOTE is the file in the branch being merged (e.g. branch_name).
  • $MERGED is the partially merged file with the merge conflict information in it.
  • $BASE is the shared commit ancestor of $LOCAL and $REMOTE, this is to say the file as it was when the branch containing $REMOTE was originally created.

I suggest you use either:

[mergetool "meld"]
    cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$MERGED" "$REMOTE" --output "$MERGED"

or:

[mergetool "meld"]
    cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$BASE" "$REMOTE" --output "$MERGED"
    # See 'Note On Output File' which explains --output "$MERGED".

The choice is whether to use $MERGED or $BASE in between $LOCAL and $REMOTE.

Either way Meld will display 3 panes with $LOCAL and $REMOTE in the left and right panes and either $MERGED or $BASE in the middle pane.

In BOTH cases the middle pane is the file that you should edit to resolve the merge conflicts. The difference is just in which starting edit position you'd prefer; $MERGED for the file which contains the partially merged file with the merge conflict information or $BASE for the shared commit ancestor of $LOCAL and $REMOTE. [Since both cmd lines can be useful I keep them both in my .gitconfig file. Most of the time I use the $MERGED line and the $BASE line is commented out, but the commenting out can be swapped over if I want to use the $BASE line instead.]

Note On Output File: Do not worry that --output "$MERGED" is used in cmd regardless of whether $MERGED or $BASE was used earlier in the cmd line. The --output option simply tells Meld what filename git wants the conflict resolution file to be saved in. Meld will save your conflict edits in that file regardless of whether you use $MERGED or $BASE as your starting edit point.

After editing the middle pane to resolve the merge conflicts, just save the file and close the Meld window. Git will do the update automatically and the file in the current branch (e.g. master) will now contain whatever you ended up with in the middle pane.

git will have made a backup of the partially merged file with the merge conflict information in it by appending .orig to the original filename. e.g. file_name.orig. After checking that you are happy with the merge and running any tests you may wish to do, the .orig file can be deleted.

At this point you can now do a commit to commit the changes.

If, while you are editing the merge conflicts in Meld, you wish to abandon the use of Meld, then quit Meld without saving the merge resolution file in the middle pane. git will respond with the message file_name seems unchanged and then ask Was the merge successful? [y/n], if you answer n then the merge conflict resolution will be aborted and the file will remain unchanged. Note that if you have saved the file in Meld at any point then you will not receive the warning and prompt from git. [Of course you can just delete the file and replace it with the backup .orig file that git made for you.]

If you have more than 1 file with merge conflicts then git will open a new Meld window for each, one after another until they are all done. They won't all be opened at the same time, but when you finish editing the conflicts in one, and close Meld, git will then open the next one, and so on until all the merge conflicts have been resolved.

It would be sensible to create a dummy project to test the use of git mergetool before using it on a live project. Be sure to use a filename containing a space in your test, in case your OS requires you to escape the quotes in the cmd line, see below.


Escaping quote characters

Some operating systems may need to have the quotes in cmd escaped. Less experienced users should remember that config command lines should be tested with filenames that include spaces, and if the cmd lines don't work with the filenames that include spaces then try escaping the quotes. e.g.

cmd = meld \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"

In some cases more complex quote escaping may be needed. The 1st of the Windows path links below contains an example of triple-escaping each quote. It's a bore but sometimes necessary. e.g.

cmd = meld \\\"$LOCAL\\\" \\\"$REMOTE\\\"

Windows paths

Windows users will probably need extra configuration added to the Meld cmd lines. They may need to use the full path to meldc, which is designed to be called on Windows from the command line, or they may need or want to use a wrapper. They should read the StackOverflow pages linked below which are about setting the correct Meld cmd line for Windows. Since I am a Linux user I am unable to test the various Windows cmd lines and have no further information on the subject other than to recommend using my examples with the addition of a full path to Meld or meldc, or adding the Meld program folder to your path.

Ignoring trailing whitespace with Meld

Meld has a number of preferences that can be configured in the GUI.

In the preferences Text Filters tab there are several useful filters to ignore things like comments when performing a diff. Although there are filters to ignore All whitespace and Leading whitespace, there is no ignore Trailing whitespace filter (this has been suggested as an addition in the Meld mailing list but is not available in my version).

Ignoring trailing whitespace is often very useful, especially when collaborating, and can be manually added easily with a simple regular expression in the Meld preferences Text Filters tab.

# Use either of these regexes depending on how comprehensive you want it to be.
[ \t]*$
[ \t\r\f\v]*$

I hope this helps everyone.

What is the difference between background and background-color

One of the difference:

If you use a image as background in this way:

background: url('Image Path') no-repeat;

then you cannot override it with "background-color" property.

But if you are using background to apply a color, it is same as background-color and can be overriden.

eg: http://jsfiddle.net/Z57Za/11/ and http://jsfiddle.net/Z57Za/12/

How to upload, display and save images using node.js and express

First of all, you should make an HTML form containing a file input element. You also need to set the form's enctype attribute to multipart/form-data:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/upload">
    <input type="file" name="file">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Assuming the form is defined in index.html stored in a directory named public relative to where your script is located, you can serve it this way:

const http = require("http");
const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");

const express = require("express");

const app = express();
const httpServer = http.createServer(app);

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`);
});

// put the HTML file containing your form in a directory named "public" (relative to where this script is located)
app.get("/", express.static(path.join(__dirname, "./public")));

Once that's done, users will be able to upload files to your server via that form. But to reassemble the uploaded file in your application, you'll need to parse the request body (as multipart form data).

In Express 3.x you could use express.bodyParser middleware to handle multipart forms but as of Express 4.x, there's no body parser bundled with the framework. Luckily, you can choose from one of the many available multipart/form-data parsers out there. Here, I'll be using multer:

You need to define a route to handle form posts:

const multer = require("multer");

const handleError = (err, res) => {
  res
    .status(500)
    .contentType("text/plain")
    .end("Oops! Something went wrong!");
};

const upload = multer({
  dest: "/path/to/temporary/directory/to/store/uploaded/files"
  // you might also want to set some limits: https://github.com/expressjs/multer#limits
});


app.post(
  "/upload",
  upload.single("file" /* name attribute of <file> element in your form */),
  (req, res) => {
    const tempPath = req.file.path;
    const targetPath = path.join(__dirname, "./uploads/image.png");

    if (path.extname(req.file.originalname).toLowerCase() === ".png") {
      fs.rename(tempPath, targetPath, err => {
        if (err) return handleError(err, res);

        res
          .status(200)
          .contentType("text/plain")
          .end("File uploaded!");
      });
    } else {
      fs.unlink(tempPath, err => {
        if (err) return handleError(err, res);

        res
          .status(403)
          .contentType("text/plain")
          .end("Only .png files are allowed!");
      });
    }
  }
);

In the example above, .png files posted to /upload will be saved to uploaded directory relative to where the script is located.

In order to show the uploaded image, assuming you already have an HTML page containing an img element:

<img src="/image.png" />

you can define another route in your express app and use res.sendFile to serve the stored image:

app.get("/image.png", (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "./uploads/image.png"));
});

Angular 5 Reactive Forms - Radio Button Group

I tried your code, you didn't assign/bind a value to your formControlName.

In HTML file:

<form [formGroup]="form">
   <label>
     <input type="radio" value="Male" formControlName="gender">
       <span>male</span>
   </label>
   <label>
     <input type="radio" value="Female" formControlName="gender">
       <span>female</span>
   </label>
</form>

In the TS file:

  form: FormGroup;
  constructor(fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.name = 'Angular2'
    this.form = fb.group({
      gender: ['', Validators.required]
    });
  }

Make sure you use Reactive form properly: [formGroup]="form" and you don't need the name attribute.

In my sample. words male and female in span tags are the values display along the radio button and Male and Female values are bind to formControlName

See the screenshot: enter image description here

To make it shorter:

<form [formGroup]="form">
  <input type="radio" value='Male' formControlName="gender" >Male
  <input type="radio" value='Female' formControlName="gender">Female
</form>

enter image description here

Hope it helps:)

How to convert dd/mm/yyyy string into JavaScript Date object?

MM/DD/YYYY format

If you have the MM/DD/YYYY format which is default for JavaScript, you can simply pass your string to Date(string) constructor. It will parse it for you.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateString = "10/23/2015"; // Oct 23_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateObject = new Date(dateString);_x000D_
_x000D_
document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

DD/MM/YYYY format - manually

If you work with this format, then you can split the date in order to get day, month and year separately and then use it in another constructor - Date(year, month, day):

_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateString = "23/10/2015"; // Oct 23_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateParts = dateString.split("/");_x000D_
_x000D_
// month is 0-based, that's why we need dataParts[1] - 1_x000D_
var dateObject = new Date(+dateParts[2], dateParts[1] - 1, +dateParts[0]); _x000D_
_x000D_
document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

For more information, you can read article about Date at Mozilla Developer Network.

DD/MM/YYYY - using moment.js library

Alternatively, you can use moment.js library, which is probably the most popular library to parse and operate with date and time in JavaScript:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateString = "23/10/2015"; // Oct 23_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateMomentObject = moment(dateString, "DD/MM/YYYY"); // 1st argument - string, 2nd argument - format_x000D_
var dateObject = dateMomentObject.toDate(); // convert moment.js object to Date object_x000D_
_x000D_
document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();
_x000D_
<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.min.js"></script>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In all three examples dateObject variable contains an object of type Date, which represents a moment in time and can be further converted to any string format.

How to do constructor chaining in C#

You use standard syntax (using this like a method) to pick the overload, inside the class:

class Foo 
{
    private int id;
    private string name;

    public Foo() : this(0, "") 
    {
    }

    public Foo(int id, string name) 
    {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Foo(int id) : this(id, "") 
    {
    }

    public Foo(string name) : this(0, name) 
    {
    }
}

then:

Foo a = new Foo(), b = new Foo(456,"def"), c = new Foo(123), d = new Foo("abc");

Note also:

  • you can chain to constructors on the base-type using base(...)
  • you can put extra code into each constructor
  • the default (if you don't specify anything) is base()

For "why?":

  • code reduction (always a good thing)
  • necessary to call a non-default base-constructor, for example:

    SomeBaseType(int id) : base(id) {...}
    

Note that you can also use object initializers in a similar way, though (without needing to write anything):

SomeType x = new SomeType(), y = new SomeType { Key = "abc" },
         z = new SomeType { DoB = DateTime.Today };

What is offsetHeight, clientHeight, scrollHeight?

Offset Means "the amount or distance by which something is out of line". Margin or Borders are something which makes the actual height or width of an HTML element "out of line". It will help you to remember that :

  • offsetHeight is a measurement in pixels of the element's CSS height, including border, padding and the element's horizontal scrollbar.

On the other hand, clientHeight is something which is you can say kind of the opposite of OffsetHeight. It doesn't include the border or margins. It does include the padding because it is something that resides inside of the HTML container, so it doesn't count as extra measurements like margin or border. So :

  • clientHeight property returns the viewable height of an element in pixels, including padding, but not the border, scrollbar or margin.

ScrollHeight is all the scrollable area, so your scroll will never run over your margin or border, so that's why scrollHeight doesn't include margin or borders but yeah padding does. So:

  • scrollHeight value is equal to the minimum height the element would require in order to fit all the content in the viewport without using a vertical scrollbar. The height is measured in the same way as clientHeight: it includes the element's padding, but not its border, margin or horizontal scrollbar.

running multiple bash commands with subprocess

If you're only running the commands in one shot then you can just use subprocess.check_output convenience function:

def subprocess_cmd(command):
    output = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True)
    print output

Difference between shared objects (.so), static libraries (.a), and DLL's (.so)?

I've always thought that DLLs and shared objects are just different terms for the same thing - Windows calls them DLLs, while on UNIX systems they're shared objects, with the general term - dynamically linked library - covering both (even the function to open a .so on UNIX is called dlopen() after 'dynamic library').

They are indeed only linked at application startup, however your notion of verification against the header file is incorrect. The header file defines prototypes which are required in order to compile the code which uses the library, but at link time the linker looks inside the library itself to make sure the functions it needs are actually there. The linker has to find the function bodies somewhere at link time or it'll raise an error. It ALSO does that at runtime, because as you rightly point out the library itself might have changed since the program was compiled. This is why ABI stability is so important in platform libraries, as the ABI changing is what breaks existing programs compiled against older versions.

Static libraries are just bundles of object files straight out of the compiler, just like the ones that you are building yourself as part of your project's compilation, so they get pulled in and fed to the linker in exactly the same way, and unused bits are dropped in exactly the same way.

How to return a PNG image from Jersey REST service method to the browser

If you have a number of image resource methods, it is well worth creating a MessageBodyWriter to output the BufferedImage:

@Produces({ "image/png", "image/jpg" })
@Provider
public class BufferedImageBodyWriter implements MessageBodyWriter<BufferedImage>  {
  @Override
  public boolean isWriteable(Class<?> type, Type type1, Annotation[] antns, MediaType mt) {
    return type == BufferedImage.class;
  }

  @Override
  public long getSize(BufferedImage t, Class<?> type, Type type1, Annotation[] antns, MediaType mt) {
    return -1; // not used in JAX-RS 2
  }

  @Override
  public void writeTo(BufferedImage image, Class<?> type, Type type1, Annotation[] antns, MediaType mt, MultivaluedMap<String, Object> mm, OutputStream out) throws IOException, WebApplicationException {
    ImageIO.write(image, mt.getSubtype(), out);
  } 
}

This MessageBodyWriter will be used automatically if auto-discovery is enabled for Jersey, otherwise it needs to be returned by a custom Application sub-class. See JAX-RS Entity Providers for more info.

Once this is set up, simply return a BufferedImage from a resource method and it will be be output as image file data:

@Path("/whatever")
@Produces({"image/png", "image/jpg"})
public Response getFullImage(...) {
  BufferedImage image = ...;
  return Response.ok(image).build();
}

A couple of advantages to this approach:

  • It writes to the response OutputSteam rather than an intermediary BufferedOutputStream
  • It supports both png and jpg output (depending on the media types allowed by the resource method)

How can I label points in this scatterplot?

I have tried directlabels package for putting text labels. In the case of scatter plots it's not still perfect, but much better than manually adjusting the positions, specially in the cases that you are preparing the draft plots and not the final one - so you need to change and make plot again and again -.

git pull fails "unable to resolve reference" "unable to update local ref"

Got this issue when trying to clone from a git bundle created file, none of the other answers worked because I couldn't clone the repo (so git gc and removing/editing files was out of the question).

There was however another way to fix this - the source file of a .bundle file was begining with:

# v2 git bundle
9a3184e2f983ba13cc7f40a820df8dd8cf20b54d HEAD
9a3184e2f983ba13cc7f40a820df8dd8cf20b54d refs/heads/master
9a3184e2f983ba13cc7f40a820df8dd8cf20b54d refs/heads/master

PACK.......p..x...Kj.0...: (and so on...)

Simply removing the fourth line with vim fixed the issue.

How do I convert certain columns of a data frame to become factors?

Given the following sample

myData <- data.frame(A=rep(1:2, 3), B=rep(1:3, 2), Pulse=20:25)  

then

myData$A <-as.factor(myData$A)
myData$B <-as.factor(myData$B)

or you could select your columns altogether and wrap it up nicely:

# select columns
cols <- c("A", "B")
myData[,cols] <- data.frame(apply(myData[cols], 2, as.factor))

levels(myData$A) <- c("long", "short")
levels(myData$B) <- c("1kg", "2kg", "3kg")

To obtain

> myData
      A   B Pulse
1  long 1kg    20
2 short 2kg    21
3  long 3kg    22
4 short 1kg    23
5  long 2kg    24
6 short 3kg    25

Convert HH:MM:SS string to seconds only in javascript

This is the most clear, easy to understand solution:

_x000D_
function convertDurationtoSeconds(duration){
    const [hours, minutes, seconds] = duration.split(':');
    return Number(hours) * 60 * 60 + Number(minutes) * 60 + Number(seconds);
};

const input = '01:30:45';
const output = convertDurationtoSeconds(input);
console.log(`${input} is ${output} in seconds`);
_x000D_

CRON job to run on the last day of the month

Adapting paxdiablo's solution, I run on the 28th and 29th of February. The data from the 29th overwrites the 28th.

Save PHP variables to a text file

This should do what you want, but without more context I can't tell for sure.

Writing $text to a file:

$text = "Anything";
$var_str = var_export($text, true);
$var = "<?php\n\n\$text = $var_str;\n\n?>";
file_put_contents('filename.php', $var);

Retrieving it again:

include 'filename.php';
echo $text;

How can I hash a password in Java?

Among all the standard hash schemes, LDAP ssha is the most secure one to use,

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/347.html

I would just follow the algorithms specified there and use MessageDigest to do the hash.

You need to store the salt in your database as you suggested.

Change content of div - jQuery

You can try the same with replacewith()

$('.click').click(function() {
    // get the contents of the link that was clicked
    var linkText = $(this).text();

    // replace the contents of the div with the link text
    $('#content-container').replaceWith(linkText);

    // cancel the default action of the link by returning false
    return false;
});

The .replaceWith() method removes content from the DOM and inserts new content in its place with a single call.

How to save CSS changes of Styles panel of Chrome Developer Tools?

You can save your CSS changes from Chrome Dev Tools itself. Chrome now allows you to add local folders to your Workspace. After allowing Chrome access to the folder and adding the folder to the local workspace, you can map a web resource to a local resource.

  • Navigate to the Sources panel of the Developer Tools, Right-click in the left panel (where the files are listed) and select Add Folder to Workspace. You can get to a stylesheet in the Sources panel quickly by clicking the stylesheet at the top-right of each CSS rule for a selected element in the Elements panel.

enter image description here

  • After adding the folder, you'll have to give Chrome access to the folder. Allow chrome access

  • Next, you need to map the network resource to the local resource.

enter image description here

  • After reloading the page, Chrome now loads the local resources for the mapped files. To make things simpler, Chrome only shows you the local resources (so you don't get confused on as to whether you are editing the local or the network resource). To save your changes, press CTRL + S when editing the file.

p.s.

You may have to open the mapped file(s) and start editing to get Chrome apply the local version (date 201604.12).

Query grants for a table in postgres

\z mytable from psql gives you all the grants from a table, but you'd then have to split it up by individual user.

get the data of uploaded file in javascript

The example below shows the basic usage of the FileReader to read the contents of an uploaded file. Here is a working Plunker of this example.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body onload="init()">
    <input id="fileInput" type="file" name="file" />
    <pre id="fileContent"></pre>
  </body>
</html>

script.js

function init(){
  document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', handleFileSelect, false);
}

function handleFileSelect(event){
  const reader = new FileReader()
  reader.onload = handleFileLoad;
  reader.readAsText(event.target.files[0])
}

function handleFileLoad(event){
  console.log(event);
  document.getElementById('fileContent').textContent = event.target.result;
}

Using union and order by clause in mysql

You can do this by adding a pseudo-column named rank to each select, that you can sort by first, before sorting by your other criteria, e.g.:

select *
from (
    select 1 as Rank, id, add_date from Table 
    union all
    select 2 as Rank, id, add_date from Table where distance < 5
    union all
    select 3 as Rank, id, add_date from Table where distance between 5 and 15
) a
order by rank, id, add_date desc

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

There is a library called NineOldAndroids, which allows you to use the Honeycomb animation library all the way down to version one.

This means you can define left, right, translationX/Y with a slightly different interface.

Here is how it works:

ViewHelper.setTranslationX(view, 50f);

You just use the static methods from the ViewHelper class, pass the view and which ever value you want to set it to.

Python how to plot graph sine wave

import math
import turtle

ws = turtle.Screen()
ws.bgcolor("lightblue")

    fred.goto(angle, y * 80)

ws.exitonclick()

JavaScript by reference vs. by value

My understanding is that this is actually very simple:

  • Javascript is always pass by value, but when a variable refers to an object (including arrays), the "value" is a reference to the object.
  • Changing the value of a variable never changes the underlying primitive or object, it just points the variable to a new primitive or object.
  • However, changing a property of an object referenced by a variable does change the underlying object.

So, to work through some of your examples:

function f(a,b,c) {
    // Argument a is re-assigned to a new value.
    // The object or primitive referenced by the original a is unchanged.
    a = 3;
    // Calling b.push changes its properties - it adds
    // a new property b[b.length] with the value "foo".
    // So the object referenced by b has been changed.
    b.push("foo");
    // The "first" property of argument c has been changed.
    // So the object referenced by c has been changed (unless c is a primitive)
    c.first = false;
}

var x = 4;
var y = ["eeny", "miny", "mo"];
var z = {first: true};
f(x,y,z);
console.log(x, y, z.first); // 4, ["eeny", "miny", "mo", "foo"], false

Example 2:

var a = ["1", "2", {foo:"bar"}];
var b = a[1]; // b is now "2";
var c = a[2]; // c now references {foo:"bar"}
a[1] = "4";   // a is now ["1", "4", {foo:"bar"}]; b still has the value
              // it had at the time of assignment
a[2] = "5";   // a is now ["1", "4", "5"]; c still has the value
              // it had at the time of assignment, i.e. a reference to
              // the object {foo:"bar"}
console.log(b, c.foo); // "2" "bar"

Fragments onResume from back stack

My workaround is to get the current title of the actionbar in the Fragment before setting it to the new title. This way, once the Fragment is popped, I can change back to that title.

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    // Get/Backup current title
    mTitle = ((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar()
            .getTitle();
    // Set new title
    ((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar()
        .setTitle(R.string.this_fragment_title);
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    // Set title back
    ((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar()
        .setTitle(mTitle);

    super.onDestroy();
}

Why is @font-face throwing a 404 error on woff files?

Solution for IIS7

I also came across the same issue. I think doing this configuration from the server level would be better since it applies for all the websites.

  1. Go to IIS root node and double-click the "MIME Types" configuration option

  2. Click "Add" link in the Actions panel on the top right.

  3. This will bring up a dialog. Add .woff file extension and specify "application/x-font-woff" as the corresponding MIME type.

Add MIME Type for .woff file name extension

Go to MIME Types

Creating a copy of an object in C#

You could do:

class myClass : ICloneable
{
    public String test;
    public object Clone()
    {
        return this.MemberwiseClone();
    }
}

then you can do

myClass a = new myClass();
myClass b = (myClass)a.Clone();

N.B. MemberwiseClone() Creates a shallow copy of the current System.Object.

How to decode JWT Token?

how to check the dtype of a column in python pandas

If you want to mark the type of a dataframe column as a string, you can do:

df['A'].dtype.kind

An example:

In [8]: df = pd.DataFrame([[1,'a',1.2],[2,'b',2.3]])
In [9]: df[0].dtype.kind, df[1].dtype.kind, df[2].dtype.kind
Out[9]: ('i', 'O', 'f')

The answer for your code:

for y in agg.columns:
    if(agg[y].dtype.kind == 'f' or agg[y].dtype.kind == 'i'):
          treat_numeric(agg[y])
    else:
          treat_str(agg[y])

How to strip all whitespace from string

Taking advantage of str.split's behavior with no sep parameter:

>>> s = " \t foo \n bar "
>>> "".join(s.split())
'foobar'

If you just want to remove spaces instead of all whitespace:

>>> s.replace(" ", "")
'\tfoo\nbar'

Premature optimization

Even though efficiency isn't the primary goal—writing clear code is—here are some initial timings:

$ python -m timeit '"".join(" \t foo \n bar ".split())'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.38 usec per loop
$ python -m timeit -s 'import re' 're.sub(r"\s+", "", " \t foo \n bar ")'
100000 loops, best of 3: 15.6 usec per loop

Note the regex is cached, so it's not as slow as you'd imagine. Compiling it beforehand helps some, but would only matter in practice if you call this many times:

$ python -m timeit -s 'import re; e = re.compile(r"\s+")' 'e.sub("", " \t foo \n bar ")'
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.76 usec per loop

Even though re.sub is 11.3x slower, remember your bottlenecks are assuredly elsewhere. Most programs would not notice the difference between any of these 3 choices.

Optional args in MATLAB functions

A simple way of doing this is via nargin (N arguments in). The downside is you have to make sure that your argument list and the nargin checks match.

It is worth remembering that all inputs are optional, but the functions will exit with an error if it calls a variable which is not set. The following example sets defaults for b and c. Will exit if a is not present.

function [ output_args ] = input_example( a, b, c )
if nargin < 1
  error('input_example :  a is a required input')
end

if nargin < 2
  b = 20
end

if nargin < 3
  c = 30

How can I get the current contents of an element in webdriver

I believe prestomanifesto was on the right track. It depends on what kind of element it is. You would need to use element.get_attribute('value') for input elements and element.text to return the text node of an element.

You could check the WebElement object with element.tag_name to find out what kind of element it is and return the appropriate value.

This should help you figure out:

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.w3c.org')
element = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
element.send_keys('hi mom')

element_text = element.text
element_attribute_value = element.get_attribute('value')

print element
print 'element.text: {0}'.format(element_text)
print 'element.get_attribute(\'value\'): {0}'.format(element_attribute_value)
driver.quit()

Is there a mechanism to loop x times in ES6 (ECMAScript 6) without mutable variables?

I am just going to put this here. If you are looking for a compact function without using Arrays and you have no issue with mutability/immutability :

var g =x=>{/*your code goes here*/x-1>0?g(x-1):null};
 

How can I use interface as a C# generic type constraint?

If possible, I went with a solution like this. It only works if you want several specific interfaces (e.g. those you have source access to) to be passed as a generic parameter, not any.

  • I let my interfaces, which came into question, inherit an empty interface IInterface.
  • I constrained the generic T parameter to be of IInterface

In source, it looks like this:

  • Any interface you want to be passed as the generic parameter:

    public interface IWhatever : IInterface
    {
        // IWhatever specific declarations
    }
    
  • IInterface:

    public interface IInterface
    {
        // Nothing in here, keep moving
    }
    
  • The class on which you want to put the type constraint:

    public class WorldPeaceGenerator<T> where T : IInterface
    {
        // Actual world peace generating code
    }
    

How to remove all MySQL tables from the command-line without DROP database permissions?

Try this.

This works even for tables with constraints (foreign key relationships). Alternatively you can just drop the database and recreate, but you may not have the necessary permissions to do that.

mysqldump -u[USERNAME] -p[PASSWORD] \
  --add-drop-table --no-data [DATABASE] | \
  grep -e '^DROP \| FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS' | \
  mysql -u[USERNAME] -p[PASSWORD] [DATABASE]

In order to overcome foreign key check effects, add show table at the end of the generated script and run many times until the show table command results in an empty set.

Working copy locked error in tortoise svn while committing

The accepted answer didn't work for me. To fix that issue, I had to right-click on the file that was locked, select repo-browser. This opened a popup with the files as they are on the SVN server. I then right-clicked on the locked file and selected break lock.

When I closed the repository browser, back on explorer I could finally commit!

Scrollbar without fixed height/Dynamic height with scrollbar

I have Similar issue with PrimeNG p_Dialog content and i fixed by below style for the contentStyle

height: 'calc(100vh - 127px)'

Catching an exception while using a Python 'with' statement

from __future__ import with_statement

try:
    with open( "a.txt" ) as f :
        print f.readlines()
except EnvironmentError: # parent of IOError, OSError *and* WindowsError where available
    print 'oops'

If you want different handling for errors from the open call vs the working code you could do:

try:
    f = open('foo.txt')
except IOError:
    print('error')
else:
    with f:
        print f.readlines()

Writing a pandas DataFrame to CSV file

To delimit by a tab you can use the sep argument of to_csv:

df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\t')

To use a specific encoding (e.g. 'utf-8') use the encoding argument:

df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\t', encoding='utf-8')

Django auto_now and auto_now_add

Any field with the auto_now attribute set will also inherit editable=False and therefore will not show up in the admin panel. There has been talk in the past about making the auto_now and auto_now_add arguments go away, and although they still exist, I feel you're better off just using a custom save() method.

So, to make this work properly, I would recommend not using auto_now or auto_now_add and instead define your own save() method to make sure that created is only updated if id is not set (such as when the item is first created), and have it update modified every time the item is saved.

I have done the exact same thing with other projects I have written using Django, and so your save() would look like this:

from django.utils import timezone

class User(models.Model):
    created     = models.DateTimeField(editable=False)
    modified    = models.DateTimeField()

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        ''' On save, update timestamps '''
        if not self.id:
            self.created = timezone.now()
        self.modified = timezone.now()
        return super(User, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Hope this helps!

Edit in response to comments:

The reason why I just stick with overloading save() vs. relying on these field arguments is two-fold:

  1. The aforementioned ups and downs with their reliability. These arguments are heavily reliant on the way each type of database that Django knows how to interact with treats a date/time stamp field, and seems to break and/or change between every release. (Which I believe is the impetus behind the call to have them removed altogether).
  2. The fact that they only work on DateField, DateTimeField, and TimeField, and by using this technique you are able to automatically populate any field type every time an item is saved.
  3. Use django.utils.timezone.now() vs. datetime.datetime.now(), because it will return a TZ-aware or naive datetime.datetime object depending on settings.USE_TZ.

To address why the OP saw the error, I don't know exactly, but it looks like created isn't even being populated at all, despite having auto_now_add=True. To me it stands out as a bug, and underscores item #1 in my little list above: auto_now and auto_now_add are flaky at best.

Could not insert new outlet connection: Could not find any information for the class named

I found an easier workaround as I this bug can be found on XCODE 9.

Step one go to your viewcontroller and manually write the property you want to connect as the below example, make sure you use the below format.

@IBOutlet weak var questionsStackView: UIStackView!

Step two go to your storyboard and connect your view or whatever your trying to connect to the property you created in step 1.

The above will save you time of removing and cleaning derived data.

String Pattern Matching In Java

That's just a matter of String.contains:

if (input.contains("{item}"))

If you need to know where it occurs, you can use indexOf:

int index = input.indexOf("{item}");
if (index != -1) // -1 means "not found"
{
    ...
}

That's fine for matching exact strings - if you need real patterns (e.g. "three digits followed by at most 2 letters A-C") then you should look into regular expressions.

EDIT: Okay, it sounds like you do want regular expressions. You might want something like this:

private static final Pattern URL_PATTERN =
    Pattern.compile("/\\{[a-zA-Z0-9]+\\}/");

...

if (URL_PATTERN.matches(input).find())

Why is the Java main method static?

I think the keyword 'static' makes the main method a class method, and class methods have only one copy of it and can be shared by all, and also, it does not require an object for reference. So when the driver class is compiled the main method can be invoked. (I'm just in alphabet level of java, sorry if I'm wrong)

In Objective-C, how do I test the object type?

You would probably use

- (BOOL)isKindOfClass:(Class)aClass

This is a method of NSObject.

For more info check the NSObject documentation.

This is how you use this.

BOOL test = [self isKindOfClass:[SomeClass class]];

You might also try doing somthing like this

for(id element in myArray)
{
    NSLog(@"=======================================");
    NSLog(@"Is of type: %@", [element className]);
    NSLog(@"Is of type NSString?: %@", ([[element className] isMemberOfClass:[NSString class]])? @"Yes" : @"No");
    NSLog(@"Is a kind of NSString: %@", ([[element classForCoder] isSubclassOfClass:[NSString class]])? @"Yes" : @"No");    
}

How to get domain URL and application name?

Take a look at the documentation for HttpServletRequest.
In order to build the URL in your example you will need to use:

  • getScheme()
  • getServerName()
  • getServerPort()
  • getContextPath()

Here is a method that will return your example:

public static String getURLWithContextPath(HttpServletRequest request) {
   return request.getScheme() + "://" + request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort() + request.getContextPath();
}

Get path to execution directory of Windows Forms application

In VB.NET

string directory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

Why do I need to override the equals and hashCode methods in Java?

Bah - "You must override hashCode() in every class that overrides equals()."

[from Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch?]

Isn't this the wrong way round? Overriding hashCode likely implies you're writing a hash-key class, but overriding equals certainly does not. There are many classes that are not used as hash-keys, but do want a logical-equality-testing method for some other reason. If you choose "equals" for it, you may then be mandated to write a hashCode implementation by overzealous application of this rule. All that achieves is adding untested code in the codebase, an evil waiting to trip someone up in the future. Also writing code you don't need is anti-agile. It's just wrong (and an ide generated one will probably be incompatible with your hand-crafted equals).

Surely they should have mandated an Interface on objects written to be used as keys? Regardless, Object should never have provided default hashCode() and equals() imho. It's probably encouraged many broken hash collections.

But anyway, I think the "rule" is written back to front. In the meantime, I'll keep avoiding using "equals" for equality testing methods :-(

'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository

I've seen all the answers here and the only thing missing is after going through these steps:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "first heroku commit"

You should run the command below:

$ heroku git:remote -a <YourAppNameOnHeroku>

And lastly, run this:

$ git push -f heroku <NameOfBranch>:master

Notice I used <NameOfBranch> because if you're currently in a different branch to master it would still throw errors, so If you are working in master use master, else put the name of the branch there.

Create a HTML table where each TR is a FORM

If all of these rows are related and you need to alter the tabular data ... why not just wrap the entire table in a form, and change GET to POST (unless you know that you're not going to be sending more than the max amount of data a GET request can send).

(That's assuming, of course, that all of the data is going to the same place.)

<form method="POST" action="your_action">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="r1c1" value="" /></td>
<!-- ... snip ... -->

<!-- ... repeat as needed ... -->

Losing scope when using ng-include

This is because of ng-include which creates a new child scope, so $scope.lineText isn’t changed. I think that this refers to the current scope, so this.lineText should be set.

Postgres FOR LOOP

Procedural elements like loops are not part of the SQL language and can only be used inside the body of a procedural language function, procedure (Postgres 11 or later) or a DO statement, where such additional elements are defined by the respective procedural language. The default is PL/pgSQL, but there are others.

Example with plpgsql:

DO
$do$
BEGIN 
   FOR i IN 1..25 LOOP
      INSERT INTO playtime.meta_random_sample
         (col_i, col_id)                       -- declare target columns!
      SELECT  i,     id
      FROM   tbl
      ORDER  BY random()
      LIMIT  15000;
   END LOOP;
END
$do$;

For many tasks that can be solved with a loop, there is a shorter and faster set-based solution around the corner. Pure SQL equivalent for your example:

INSERT INTO playtime.meta_random_sample (col_i, col_id)
SELECT t.*
FROM   generate_series(1,25) i
CROSS  JOIN LATERAL (
   SELECT i, id
   FROM   tbl
   ORDER  BY random()
   LIMIT  15000
   ) t;

CSS-Only Scrollable Table with fixed headers

This answer will be used as a placeholder for the not fully supported position: sticky and will be updated over time. It is currently advised to not use the native implementation of this in a production environment.

See this for the current support: https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-sticky


Use of position: sticky

An alternative answer would be using position: sticky. As described by W3C:

A stickily positioned box is positioned similarly to a relatively positioned box, but the offset is computed with reference to the nearest ancestor with a scrolling box, or the viewport if no ancestor has a scrolling box.

This described exactly the behavior of a relative static header. It would be easy to assign this to the <thead> or the first <tr> HTML-tag, as this should be supported according to W3C. However, both Chrome, IE and Edge have problems assigning a sticky position property to these tags. There also seems to be no priority in solving this at the moment.

What does seem to work for a table element is assigning the sticky property to a table-cell. In this case the <th> cells.

Because a table is not a block-element that respects the static size you assign to it, it is best to use a wrapper element to define the scroll-overflow.

The code

_x000D_
_x000D_

In this example I use a simple <div> wrapper to define the scroll-overflow done with a static height of 150px. This can of course be any size. Now that the scrolling box has been defined, the sticky <th> elements will corespondent "to the nearest ancestor with a scrolling box", which is the div-wrapper.


Use of a position: sticky polyfill

Non-supported devices can make use of a polyfill, which implements the behavior through code. An example is stickybits, which resembles the same behavior as the browser's implemented position: sticky.

Example with polyfill: http://jsfiddle.net/7UZA4/6957/

C# Validating input for textbox on winforms

Description

There are many ways to validate your TextBox. You can do this on every keystroke, at a later time, or on the Validating event.

The Validating event gets fired if your TextBox looses focus. When the user clicks on a other Control, for example. If your set e.Cancel = true the TextBox doesn't lose the focus.

MSDN - Control.Validating Event When you change the focus by using the keyboard (TAB, SHIFT+TAB, and so on), by calling the Select or SelectNextControl methods, or by setting the ContainerControl.ActiveControl property to the current form, focus events occur in the following order

Enter

GotFocus

Leave

Validating

Validated

LostFocus

When you change the focus by using the mouse or by calling the Focus method, focus events occur in the following order:

Enter

GotFocus

LostFocus

Leave

Validating

Validated

Sample Validating Event

private void textBox1_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (textBox1.Text != "something")
        e.Cancel = true;
}

Update

You can use the ErrorProvider to visualize that your TextBox is not valid. Check out Using Error Provider Control in Windows Forms and C#

URL.Action() including route values

outgoing url in mvc generated based on the current routing schema.

because your Information action method require id parameter, and your route collection has id of your current requested url(/Admin/Information/5), id parameter automatically gotten from existing route collection values.

to solve this problem you should use UrlParameter.Optional:

 <a href="@Url.Action("Information", "Admin", new { id = UrlParameter.Optional })">Add an Admin</a>

What's the purpose of META-INF?

Generally speaking, you should not put anything into META-INF yourself. Instead, you should rely upon whatever you use to package up your JAR. This is one of the areas where I think Ant really excels: specifying JAR file manifest attributes. It's very easy to say something like:

<jar ...>
    <manifest>
        <attribute name="Main-Class" value="MyApplication"/>
    </manifest>
</jar>

At least, I think that's easy... :-)

The point is that META-INF should be considered an internal Java meta directory. Don't mess with it! Any files you want to include with your JAR should be placed in some other sub-directory or at the root of the JAR itself.

Issue in installing php7.2-mcrypt

@praneeth-nidarshan has covered mostly all the steps, except some:

  • Check if you have pear installed (or install):

$ sudo apt-get install php-pear

  • Install, if isn't already installed, php7.2-dev, in order to avoid the error:

sh: phpize: not found

ERROR: `phpize’ failed

$ sudo apt-get install php7.2-dev

  • Install mcrypt using pecl:

$ sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1

  • Add the extention extension=mcrypt.so to your php.ini configuration file; if you don't know where it is, search with:

$ sudo php -i | grep 'Configuration File'

Execution time of C program

A lot of answers have been suggesting clock() and then CLOCKS_PER_SEC from time.h. This is probably a bad idea, because this is what my /bits/time.h file says:

/* ISO/IEC 9899:1990 7.12.1: <time.h>
The macro `CLOCKS_PER_SEC' is the number per second of the value
returned by the `clock' function. */
/* CAE XSH, Issue 4, Version 2: <time.h>
The value of CLOCKS_PER_SEC is required to be 1 million on all
XSI-conformant systems. */
#  define CLOCKS_PER_SEC  1000000l

#  if !defined __STRICT_ANSI__ && !defined __USE_XOPEN2K
/* Even though CLOCKS_PER_SEC has such a strange value CLK_TCK
presents the real value for clock ticks per second for the system.  */
#   include <bits/types.h>
extern long int __sysconf (int);
#   define CLK_TCK ((__clock_t) __sysconf (2))  /* 2 is _SC_CLK_TCK */
#  endif

So CLOCKS_PER_SEC might be defined as 1000000, depending on what options you use to compile, and thus it does not seem like a good solution.

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

How to color the Git console?

GIT uses colored output by default but on some system like as CentOS it is not enabled . You can enable it like this

git config --global color.ui  true 
git config --global color.ui  false 
git config --global color.ui  auto 

You can choose your required command from here .

Here --global is optional to apply action for every repository in your system . If you want to apply coloring for current repository only then you can do something like this -

 git config color.ui  true

Clone an image in cv2 python

The first answer is correct but you say that you are using cv2 which inherently uses numpy arrays. So, to make a complete different copy of say "myImage":

newImage = myImage.copy()

The above is enough. No need to import numpy.

Stratified Train/Test-split in scikit-learn

You can simply do it with train_test_split() method available in Scikit learn:

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split 
train, test = train_test_split(X, test_size=0.25, stratify=X['YOUR_COLUMN_LABEL']) 

I have also prepared a short GitHub Gist which shows how stratify option works:

Input type DateTime - Value format?

This was a good waste of an hour of my time. For you eager beavers, the following format worked for me:

<input type="datetime-local" name="to" id="to" value="2014-12-08T15:43:00">

The spec was a little confusing to me, it said to use RFC 3339, but on my PHP server when I used the format DATE_RFC3339 it wasn't initializing my hmtl input :( PHP's constant for DATE_RFC3339 is "Y-m-d\TH:i:sP" at the time of writing, it makes sense that you should get rid of the timezone info (we're using datetime-LOCAL, folks). So the format that worked for me was:

"Y-m-d\TH:i:s"

I would've thought it more intuitive to be able to set the value of the datepicker as the datepicker displays the date, but I'm guessing the way it is displayed differs across browsers.

MySQL, Check if a column exists in a table with SQL

DO NOT put ALTER TABLE/MODIFY COLS or any other such table mod operations inside a TRANSACTION. Transactions are for being able to roll back a QUERY failure not for ALTERations...it will error out every time in a transaction.

Just run a SELECT * query on the table and check if the column is there...

jQuery toggle CSS?

For jQuery versions lower than 1.9 (see https://api.jquery.com/toggle-event):

$('#user_button').toggle(function () {
    $("#user_button").css({borderBottomLeftRadius: "0px"});
}, function () {
    $("#user_button").css({borderBottomLeftRadius: "5px"});
});

Using classes in this case would be better than setting the css directly though, look at the addClass and removeClass methods alecwh mentioned.

$('#user_button').toggle(function () {
    $("#user_button").addClass("active");
}, function () {
    $("#user_button").removeClass("active");
});

How do I plot only a table in Matplotlib?

This is another option to write a pandas dataframe directly into a matplotlib table:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# hide axes
fig.patch.set_visible(False)
ax.axis('off')
ax.axis('tight')

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4), columns=list('ABCD'))

ax.table(cellText=df.values, colLabels=df.columns, loc='center')

fig.tight_layout()

plt.show()

Get an array of list element contents in jQuery

var optionTexts = [];
$("ul li").each(function() { optionTexts.push($(this).text()) });

...should do the trick. To get the final output you're looking for, join() plus some concatenation will do nicely:

var quotedCSV = '"' + optionTexts.join('", "') + '"';

Static Final Variable in Java

Just having final will have the intended effect.

final int x = 5;

...
x = 10; // this will cause a compilation error because x is final

Declaring static is making it a class variable, making it accessible using the class name <ClassName>.x

Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null

  el.addEventListener('click', swapper, false);

  var text = document.getElementById('overlayBtn');

    return false;
  };

SQLAlchemy: print the actual query

We can use compile method for this purpose. From the docs:

from sqlalchemy.sql import text
from sqlalchemy.dialects import postgresql

stmt = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE users.name BETWEEN :x AND :y")
stmt = stmt.bindparams(x="m", y="z")

print(stmt.compile(dialect=postgresql.dialect(),compile_kwargs={"literal_binds": True}))

Result:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE users.name BETWEEN 'm' AND 'z'

Warning from docs:

Never use this technique with string content received from untrusted input, such as from web forms or other user-input applications. SQLAlchemy’s facilities to coerce Python values into direct SQL string values are not secure against untrusted input and do not validate the type of data being passed. Always use bound parameters when programmatically invoking non-DDL SQL statements against a relational database.

How does createOrReplaceTempView work in Spark?

createOrReplaceTempView creates (or replaces if that view name already exists) a lazily evaluated "view" that you can then use like a hive table in Spark SQL. It does not persist to memory unless you cache the dataset that underpins the view.

scala> val s = Seq(1,2,3).toDF("num")
s: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [num: int]

scala> s.createOrReplaceTempView("nums")

scala> spark.table("nums")
res22: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [num: int]

scala> spark.table("nums").cache
res23: org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] = [num: int]

scala> spark.table("nums").count
res24: Long = 3

The data is cached fully only after the .count call. Here's proof it's been cached:

Cached nums temp view/table

Related SO: spark createOrReplaceTempView vs createGlobalTempView

Relevant quote (comparing to persistent table): "Unlike the createOrReplaceTempView command, saveAsTable will materialize the contents of the DataFrame and create a pointer to the data in the Hive metastore." from https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#saving-to-persistent-tables

Note : createOrReplaceTempView was formerly registerTempTable

How to run a .jar in mac?

You don't need JDK to run Java based programs. JDK is for development which stands for Java Development Kit.

You need JRE which should be there in Mac.

Try: java -jar Myjar_file.jar

EDIT: According to this article, for Mac OS 10

The Java runtime is no longer installed automatically as part of the OS installation.

Then, you need to install JRE to your machine.

MySQL SELECT LIKE or REGEXP to match multiple words in one record

You can just replace each space with %

When is layoutSubviews called?

Building on the previous answer by @BadPirate, I experimented a bit further and came up with some clarifications/corrections. I found that layoutSubviews: will be called on a view if and only if:

  • Its own bounds (not frame) changed.
  • The bounds of one of its direct subviews changed.
  • A subview is added to the view or removed from the view.

Some relevant details:

  • The bounds are considered changed only if the new value is different, including a different origin. Note specifically that is why layoutSubviews: is called whenever a UIScrollView scrolls, as it performs the scrolling by changing its bounds' origin.
  • Changing the frame will only change the bounds if the size has changed, as this is the only thing propagated to the bounds property.
  • A change in bounds of a view that is not yet in a view hierarchy will result in a call to layoutSubviews: when the view is eventually added to a view hierarchy.
  • And just for completeness: these triggers do not directly call layoutSubviews, but rather call setNeedsLayout, which sets/raises a flag. Each iteration of the run loop, for all views in the view hierarchy, this flag is checked. For each view where the flag is found raised, layoutSubviews: is called on it and the flag is reset. Views higher up the hierarchy will be checked/called first.

What is @RenderSection in asp.net MVC

Here the defination of Rendersection from MSDN

In layout pages, renders the content of a named section.MSDN

In _layout.cs page put

@RenderSection("Bottom",false)

Here render the content of bootom section and specifies false boolean property to specify whether the section is required or not.

@section Bottom{
       This message form bottom.
}

That meaning if you want to bottom section in all pages, then you must use false as the second parameter at Rendersection method.

Decoding UTF-8 strings in Python

You need to properly decode the source text. Most likely the source text is in UTF-8 format, not ASCII.

Because you do not provide any context or code for your question it is not possible to give a direct answer.

I suggest you study how unicode and character encoding is done in Python:

http://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html

SonarQube Exclude a directory

add this line to your sonar-project.properties file

ex: sonar.exclusions=src/*.java be careful if you want to exclude a folder and inside the folder there is a file you must first exclude the files or add the files one by one for example imagine there is a folder like below:

src/app.java src/controllers/home.java src/services/test.java

you have to do this: sonar.exclusions=src/app.java,src/controllers/*.java,src/services/*.java

It worked for me

How to specify multiple return types using type-hints

In case anyone landed here in search of "how to specify types of multiple return values?", use Tuple[type_value1, ..., type_valueN]

from typing import Tuple

def f() -> Tuple[dict, str]:
    a = {1: 2}
    b = "hello"
    return a, b

How do I check out a remote Git branch?

How do I fix a .NET windows application crashing at startup with Exception code: 0xE0434352?

I was fighting with this a whole day asking my users to run debug versions of the software. Because it looked like it didn't run the first line. Just a crash without information.

Then I realized that the error was inside the form's InitializeComponent.

The way to get an exception was to remove this line (or comment it out):

System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()

Once you get rid of the line, you'll get a normal exception.

NameError: global name 'unicode' is not defined - in Python 3

You can use the six library to support both Python 2 and 3:

import six
if isinstance(value, six.string_types):
    handle_string(value)

Changing minDate and maxDate on the fly using jQuery DatePicker

You have a couple of options...

1) You need to call the destroy() method not remove() so...

$('#date').datepicker('destroy');

Then call your method to recreate the datepicker object.

2) You can update the property of the existing object via

$('#date').datepicker('option', 'minDate', new Date(startDate));
$('#date').datepicker('option', 'maxDate', new Date(endDate));

or...

$('#date').datepicker('option', { minDate: new Date(startDate),
                                  maxDate: new Date(endDate) });

How to POST using HTTPclient content type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I was using a .Net Core 2.1 API with the [FromBody] attribute and I had to use the following solution to successfully Post to it:

_apiClient =  new HttpClient();
_apiClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(<YOUR API>);
var MyObject myObject = new MyObject(){
    FirstName = "Me",
    LastName = "Myself"
};

var stringified = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject);
var result = await _apiClient.PostAsync("api/appusers", new StringContent(stringified, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));

querySelector and querySelectorAll vs getElementsByClassName and getElementById in JavaScript

For this answer, I refer to querySelector and querySelectorAll as querySelector* and to getElementById, getElementsByClassName, getElementsByTagName, and getElementsByName as getElement*.

Main Differences

  1. querySelector* is more flexible, as you can pass it any CSS3 selector, not just simple ones for id, tag, or class.
  2. The performance of querySelector changes with the size of the DOM that it is invoked on.* To be precise, querySelector* calls run in O(n) time and getElement* calls run in O(1) time, where n is the total number of all children of the element or document it is invoked on. This fact seems to be the least well-known, so I am bolding it.
  3. getElement* calls return direct references to the DOM, whereas querySelector* internally makes copies of the selected elements before returning references to them. These are referred to as "live" and "static" elements respectively. This is NOT strictly related to the types that they return. There is no way I know of to tell if an element is live or static programmatically, as it depends on whether the element was copied at some point, and is not an intrinsic property of the data. Changes to live elements apply immediately - changing a live element changes it directly in the DOM, and therefore the very next line of JS can see that change, and it propagates to any other live elements referencing that element immediately. Changes to static elements are only written back to the DOM after the current script is done executing. These extra copy and write steps have some small, and generally negligible, effect on performance.
  4. The return types of these calls vary. querySelector and getElementById both return a single element. querySelectorAll and getElementsByName both return NodeLists, being newer functions that were added after HTMLCollection went out of fashion. The older getElementsByClassName and getElementsByTagName both return HTMLCollections. Again, this is essentially irrelevant to whether the elements are live or static.

These concepts are summarized in the following table.

Function               | Live? | Type           | Time Complexity
querySelector          |   N   | Element        |  O(n)
querySelectorAll       |   N   | NodeList       |  O(n)
getElementById         |   Y   | Element        |  O(1)
getElementsByClassName |   Y   | HTMLCollection |  O(1)
getElementsByTagName   |   Y   | HTMLCollection |  O(1)
getElementsByName      |   Y   | NodeList       |  O(1)

Details, Tips, and Examples

  • HTMLCollections are not as array-like as NodeLists and do not support .forEach(). I find the spread operator useful to work around this:

    [...document.getElementsByClassName("someClass")].forEach()

  • Every element, and the global document, have access to all of these functions except for getElementById and getElementsByName, which are only implemented on document.

  • Chaining getElement* calls instead of using querySelector* will improve performance, especially on very large DOMs. Even on small DOMs and/or with very long chains, it is generally faster. However, unless you know you need the performance, the readability of querySelector* should be preferred. querySelectorAll is often harder to rewrite, because you must select elements from the NodeList or HTMLCollection at every step. For example, the following code does not work:

    document.getElementsByClassName("someClass").getElementsByTagName("div")

    because you can only use getElements* on single elements, not collections. For example:

    document.querySelector("#someId .someClass div")

    could be written as:

    document.getElementById("someId").getElementsByClassName("someClass")[0].getElementsByTagName("div")[0]

    Note the use of [0] to get just the first element of the collection at each step that returns a collection, resulting in one element at the end just like with querySelector.

  • Since all elements have access to both querySelector* and getElement* calls, you can make chains using both calls, which can be useful if you want some performance gain, but cannot avoid a querySelector that can not be written in terms of the getElement* calls.

  • Though it is generally easy to tell if a selector can be written using only getElement* calls, there is one case that may not be obvious:

    document.querySelectorAll(".class1.class2")

    can be rewritten as

    document.getElementsByClassName("class1 class2")

  • Using getElement* on a static element fetched with querySelector* will result in an element that is live with respect to the static subset of the DOM copied by querySelector, but not live with respect to the full document DOM... this is where the simple live/static interpretation of elements begins to fall apart. You should probably avoid situations where you have to worry about this, but if you do, remember that querySelector* calls copy elements they find before returning references to them, but getElement* calls fetch direct references without copying.

  • Neither API specifies which element should be selected first if there are multiple matches.

  • Because querySelector* iterates through the DOM until it finds a match (see Main Difference #2), the above also implies that you cannot rely on the position of an element you are looking for in the DOM to guarantee that it is found quickly - the browser may iterate through the DOM backwards, forwards, depth first, breadth first, or otherwise. getElement* will still find elements in roughly the same amount of time regardless of their placement.

Spring Boot Program cannot find main class

I know this is pretty late answer. But it might still help some new learners. The Following example is only for springboot with NETBEANS. I had to do the following steps:

Step 1. Follow @Mariuszs answer .

Step 2. Right click on project -> Properties -> RUN. Make sure the Main Class field is has the correct starter class else Click browse and select from the available classes .

Step 3. Click OK-> OK. Thant is all. Thank you.

Centering FontAwesome icons vertically and horizontally

So I finally got it(http://jsfiddle.net/ncapito/eYtU5/):

.centerWrapper:before {
    content:'';
    height: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.center {
    display:inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

<div class='row'>
    <div class='login-icon'>
        <div class='centerWrapper'>
            <div class='center'> <i class='icon-user'></i></div>
       </div>
    </div>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Email" />
 </div>

How do you detect the clearing of a "search" HTML5 input?

based on event-loop of js, the click on clear button will trigger search event on input, so below code will work as expected:

input.onclick = function(e){
  this._cleared = true
  setTimeout(()=>{
    this._cleared = false
  })
}
input.onsearch = function(e){
  if(this._cleared) {
    console.log('clear button clicked!')
  }
}

The above code, onclick event booked a this._cleared = false event loop, but the event will always run after the onsearch event, so you can stably check the this._cleared status to determine whether user just clicked on X button and then triggered a onsearch event.

This can work on almost all conditions, pasted text, has incremental attribute, ENTER/ESC key press etc.

How to get the ActionBar height?

Java:

    int actionBarHeight;
    int[] abSzAttr;
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
        abSzAttr = new int[] { android.R.attr.actionBarSize };
    } else {
        abSzAttr = new int[] { R.attr.actionBarSize };
    }
    TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(abSzAttr);
    actionBarHeight = a.getDimensionPixelSize(0, -1);

xml:

    ?attr/actionBarSize

String contains another string

You can use .indexOf():

if(str.indexOf(substr) > -1) {

}

What is SYSNAME data type in SQL Server?

Let me list a use case below. Hope it helps. Here I'm trying to find the Table Owner of the Table 'Stud_dtls' from the DB 'Students'. As Mikael mentioned, sysname could be used when there is a need for creating some dynamic sql which needs variables holding table names, column names and server names. Just thought of providing a simple example to supplement his point.

USE Students

DECLARE @TABLE_NAME sysname

SELECT @TABLE_NAME = 'Stud_dtls'

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA 
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Tables
 WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TABLE_NAME

What's the Kotlin equivalent of Java's String[]?

This example works perfectly in Android

In kotlin you can use a lambda expression for this. The Kotlin Array Constructor definition is:

Array(size: Int, init: (Int) -> T)

Which evaluates to:

skillsSummaryDetailLinesArray = Array(linesLen) {
        i: Int -> skillsSummaryDetailLines!!.getString(i)
}

Or:

skillsSummaryDetailLinesArray = Array<String>(linesLen) {
        i: Int -> skillsSummaryDetailLines!!.getString(i)
}

In this example the field definition was:

private var skillsSummaryDetailLinesArray: Array<String>? = null

Hope this helps

How do I group Windows Form radio buttons?

All radio buttons inside of a share container are in the same group by default. Means, if you check one of them - others will be unchecked. If you want to create independent groups of radio buttons, you must situate them into different containers such as Group Box, or control their Checked state through code behind.
