ImportError: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

May be the problem is with your python-opencv version. It's better to downgrade your version to 3.3.0.9 which does not include any GUI dependencies. Same question was found on GitHub here the link to the answer.

Angular redirect to login page

Usage with the final router

With the introduction of the new router it became easier to guard the routes. You must define a guard, which acts as a service, and add it to the route.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate } from '@angular/router';
import { UserService } from '../../auth';

@Injectable()
export class LoggedInGuard implements CanActivate {
  constructor(user: UserService) {
    this._user = user;
  }

  canActivate() {
    return this._user.isLoggedIn();
  }
}

Now pass the LoggedInGuard to the route and also add it to the providers array of the module.

import { LoginComponent } from './components/login.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './components/home.component';
import { LoggedInGuard } from './guards/loggedin.guard';

const routes = [
    { path: '', component: HomeComponent, canActivate: [LoggedInGuard] },
    { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
];

The module declaration:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, HomeComponent, LoginComponent]
  imports: [HttpModule, BrowserModule, RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  providers: [UserService, LoggedInGuard],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
class AppModule {}

Usage with the deprecated router

A more robust solution is to extend the RouterOutlet and when activating a route check if the user is logged in. This way you don't have to copy and paste your directive to every component. Plus redirecting based on a subcomponent can be misleading.

@Directive({
  selector: 'router-outlet'
})
export class LoggedInRouterOutlet extends RouterOutlet {
  publicRoutes: Array;
  private parentRouter: Router;
  private userService: UserService;

  constructor(
    _elementRef: ElementRef, _loader: DynamicComponentLoader,
    _parentRouter: Router, @Attribute('name') nameAttr: string,
    userService: UserService
  ) {
    super(_elementRef, _loader, _parentRouter, nameAttr);

    this.parentRouter = _parentRouter;
    this.userService = userService;
    this.publicRoutes = [
      '', 'login', 'signup'
    ];
  }

  activate(instruction: ComponentInstruction) {
    if (this._canActivate(instruction.urlPath)) {
      return super.activate(instruction);
    }

    this.parentRouter.navigate(['Login']);
  }

  _canActivate(url) {
    return this.publicRoutes.indexOf(url) !== -1 || this.userService.isLoggedIn()
  }
}

The UserService stands for the place where your business logic resides whether the user is logged in or not. You can add it easily with DI in the constructor.

When the user navigates to a new url on your website, the activate method is called with the current Instruction. From it you can grab the url and decide whether it is allowed or not. If not just redirect to the login page.

One last thing remain to make it work, is to pass it to our main component instead of the built in one.

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  directives: [LoggedInRouterOutlet],
  template: template
})
@RouteConfig(...)
export class AppComponent { }

This solution can not be used with the @CanActive lifecycle decorator, because if the function passed to it resolves false, the activate method of the RouterOutlet won't be called.

Also wrote a detailed blog post about it: https://medium.com/@blacksonic86/authentication-in-angular-2-958052c64492

Why is it that "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI" here?

If it is a GET service, then you need to use it with a GET method, not a POST method. Your problem is a type mismatch. A different example of type mismatch (to put severity into perspective) is trying to assign a string to an integer variable.

Saving binary data as file using JavaScript from a browser

Use FileSaver.js. It supports Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and IE 10+ (and probably IE < 10 with a few "polyfills" - see Note 4). FileSaver.js implements the saveAs() FileSaver interface in browsers that do not natively support it:
     https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js

Minified version is really small at < 2.5KB, gzipped < 1.2KB.

Usage:

/* TODO: replace the blob content with your byte[] */
var blob = new Blob([yourBinaryDataAsAnArrayOrAsAString], {type: "application/octet-stream"});
var fileName = "myFileName.myExtension";
saveAs(blob, fileName);

You might need Blob.js in some browsers (see Note 3). Blob.js implements the W3C Blob interface in browsers that do not natively support it. It is a cross-browser implementation:
     https://github.com/eligrey/Blob.js

Consider StreamSaver.js if you have files larger than blob's size limitations.

Change NULL values in Datetime format to empty string

--declare @date datetime; set @date = '2015-01-01'

select coalesce( convert( varchar(10), @date, 103 ), '')

Making text background transparent but not text itself

For a fully transparent background use:

background: transparent;

Otherwise for a semi-transparent color fill use:

background: rgba(255,255,255,0.5); // or hsla(0, 0%, 100%, 0.5)

where the values are:

background: rgba(red,green,blue,opacity); // or hsla(hue, saturation, lightness, opacity)

You can also use rgba values for gradient backgrounds.

To get transparency on an image background simply reduce the opacity of the image in an image editor of you choice beforehand.

How to include Authorization header in cURL POST HTTP Request in PHP?

@jason-mccreary is totally right. Besides I recommend you this code to get more info in case of malfunction:

$rest = curl_exec($crl);

if ($rest === false)
{
    // throw new Exception('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
    print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
}

curl_close($crl);
print_r($rest);

EDIT 1

To debug you can set CURLOPT_HEADER to true to check HTTP response with firebug::net or similar.

curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

EDIT 2

About Curl error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK try adding this headers (just to debug, in a production enviroment you should keep these options in true):

curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

Twitter Bootstrap button click to toggle expand/collapse text section above button

Elaborating a bit more on Taylor Gautier's reply (sorry, I dont have enough reputation to add a comment), I'd reply to Dean Richardson on how to do what he wanted, without any additional JS code. Pure CSS.

You would replace his .btn with the following:

<a class="btn showdetails" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#viewdetails"></a>

And add a small CSS for when the content is displayed:

.in.collapse+a.btn.showdetails:before { 
    content:'Hide details «';
}
.collapse+a.btn.showdetails:before { 
    content:'Show details »'; 
}

Here is his modified example

How to style a div to have a background color for the entire width of the content, and not just for the width of the display?

The inline-block display style seems to do what you want. Note that the <nobr> tag is deprecated, and should not be used. Non-breaking white space is doable in CSS. Here's how I would alter your example style rules:

div { display: inline-block; white-space: nowrap; }
.success { background-color: #ccffcc; }

Alter your stylesheet, remove the <nobr> tags from your source, and give it a try. Note that display: inline-block does not work in every browser, though it tends to only be problematic in older browsers (newer versions should support it to some degree). My personal opinion is to ignore coding for broken browsers. If your code is standards compliant, it should work in all of the major, modern browsers. Anyone still using IE6 (or earlier) deserves the pain. :-)

How do you make Git work with IntelliJ?

How to check for empty value in Javascript?

First, I would check what i gets initialized to, to see if the elements returned by getElementsByName are what you think they are. Maybe split the problem by trying it with a hard-coded name like timetemp0, without the concatenation. You can also run the code through a browser debugger (FireBug, Chrome Dev Tools, IE Dev Tools).

Also, for your if-condition, this should suffice:

if (!timetemp[0].value) {
    // The value is empty.
}
else {
    // The value is not empty.
}

The empty string in Javascript is a falsey value, so the logical negation of that will get you into the if-block.

Can't create handler inside thread which has not called Looper.prepare()

All the answers above are correct, but I think this is the easiest example possible:

public class ExampleActivity extends Activity {
    private Handler handler;
    private ProgressBar progress;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
        handler = new Handler();
    }

    public void clickAButton(View view) {
        // Do something that takes a while
        Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                handler.post(new Runnable() { // This thread runs in the UI
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        progress.setProgress("anything"); // Update the UI
                    }
                });
            }
        };
        new Thread(runnable).start();
    }
}

What this does is update a progress bar in the UI thread from a completely different thread passed through the post() method of the handler declared in the activity.

Hope it helps!

What does \d+ mean in regular expression terms?

\d is a digit, + is 1 or more, so a sequence of 1 or more digits

Sending email with attachments from C#, attachments arrive as Part 1.2 in Thunderbird

I tried the code provided by Ranadheer Reddy (above) and it worked great. If you’re using a company computer that has a restricted server you may need to change the SMTP port to 25 and leave your username and password blank since they will auto fill by your admin.

Originally, I tried using EASendMail from the nugent package manager, only to realize that it’s a pay for version with 30-day trial. Don’t waist your time with it unless you plan on buying it. I noticed the program ran much faster using EASendMail, but for me, free trumped fast.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Peak-finding algorithm for Python/SciPy

Detecting peaks in a spectrum in a reliable way has been studied quite a bit, for example all the work on sinusoidal modelling for music/audio signals in the 80ies. Look for "Sinusoidal Modeling" in the literature.

If your signals are as clean as the example, a simple "give me something with an amplitude higher than N neighbours" should work reasonably well. If you have noisy signals, a simple but effective way is to look at your peaks in time, to track them: you then detect spectral lines instead of spectral peaks. IOW, you compute the FFT on a sliding window of your signal, to get a set of spectrum in time (also called spectrogram). You then look at the evolution of the spectral peak in time (i.e. in consecutive windows).

and let make figure out the rest. Gives your executable a decent name, too, instead of a.out.

AES Encryption for an NSString on the iPhone

@owlstead, regarding your request for "a cryptographically secure variant of one of the given answers," please see RNCryptor. It was designed to do exactly what you're requesting (and was built in response to the problems with the code listed here).

RNCryptor uses PBKDF2 with salt, provides a random IV, and attaches HMAC (also generated from PBKDF2 with its own salt. It support synchronous and asynchronous operation.

What is an example of the Liskov Substitution Principle?

It states that if C is a subtype of E then E can be replaced with objects of type C without changing or breaking the behavior of the program. In simple words, derived classes should be substitutable for their parent classes. For example, if a Farmer’s son is Farmer then he can work in place of his father but if a Farmer’s son is a cricketer then he can’t work in place of his father.

Violation Example:

public class Plane{

  public void startEngine(){}      

}        
public class FighterJet extends Plane{}
    
public class PaperPlane extends Plane{}

In the given example FighterPlane and PaperPlane classes both extending the Plane class which contain startEngine() method. So it's clear that FighterPlane can start engine but PaperPlane can’t so it’s breaking LSP.

PaperPlane class although extending Plane class and should be substitutable in place of it but is not an eligible entity that Plane’s instance could be replaced by, because a paper plane can’t start the engine as it doesn’t have one. So the good example would be,

Respected Example:

public class Plane{ 
} 
public class RealPlane{

  public void startEngine(){} 

}
public class FighterJet extends RealPlane{} 
public class PaperPlane extends Plane{}

WCF service maxReceivedMessageSize basicHttpBinding issue

Removing the name from your binding will make it apply to all endpoints, and should produce the desired results. As so:

<services>
  <service name="Service.IService">
    <clear />
    <endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="Service.IService" />
  </service>
</services>
<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
      <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
        maxArrayLength="16348" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
    </binding>
  </basicHttpBinding>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" />
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Also note that I removed the bindingConfiguration attribute from the endpoint node. Otherwise you would get an exception.

This same solution was found here : Problem with large requests in WCF

Removing X-Powered-By

I think that is controlled by the expose_php setting in PHP.ini:

expose_php = off

Decides whether PHP may expose the fact that it is installed on the server (e.g. by adding its signature to the Web server header). It is no security threat in any way, but it makes it possible to determine whether you use PHP on your server or not.

There is no direct security risk, but as David C notes, exposing an outdated (and possibly vulnerable) version of PHP may be an invitation for people to try and attack it.

Error: Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found

How to make g++ search for header files in a specific directory?

it's simple, use the "-B" option to add .h files' dir to search path.

E.g. g++ -B /header_file.h your.cpp -o bin/your_command

$lookup on ObjectId's in an array

You can also use the pipeline stage to perform checks on a sub-docunment array

Here's the example using python (sorry I'm snake people).

db.products.aggregate([
  { '$lookup': {
      'from': 'products',
      'let': { 'pid': '$products' },
      'pipeline': [
        { '$match': { '$expr': { '$in': ['$_id', '$$pid'] } } }
        // Add additional stages here 
      ],
      'as':'productObjects'
  }
])

The catch here is to match all objects in the ObjectId array (foreign _id that is in local field/prop products).

You can also clean up or project the foreign records with additional stages, as indicated by the comment above.

Step out of current function with GDB

You can use the finish command.

Get city name using geolocation

After some searching and piecing together a couple of different solutions along with my own stuff, I came up with this function:

function parse_place(place)
{
    var location = [];

    for (var ac = 0; ac < place.address_components.length; ac++)
    {
        var component = place.address_components[ac];

        switch(component.types[0])
        {
            case 'locality':
                location['city'] = component.long_name;
                break;
            case 'administrative_area_level_1':
                location['state'] = component.long_name;
                break;
            case 'country':
                location['country'] = component.long_name;
                break;
        }
    };

    return location;
}

Combine hover and click functions (jQuery)?

You can use .bind() or .live() whichever is appropriate, but no need to name the function:

$('#target').bind('click hover', function () {
 // common operation
});

or if you were doing this on lots of element (not much sense for an IE unless the element changes):

$('#target').live('click hover', function () {
 // common operation
});

Note, this will only bind the first hover argument, the mouseover event, it won't hook anything to the mouseleave event.

Xcode 8 shows error that provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate

Try downloading the certificates/profiles directly from the member centre rather than doing it from Xcode.

It worked for me when I manually downloaded them from the member centre.

Binding a list in @RequestParam

It wasn't obvious to me that although you can accept a Collection as a request param, but on the consumer side you still have to pass in the collection items as comma separated values.

For example if the server side api looks like this:

@PostMapping("/post-topics")
public void handleSubscriptions(@RequestParam("topics") Collection<String> topicStrings) {

    topicStrings.forEach(topic -> System.out.println(topic));
}

Directly passing in a collection to the RestTemplate as a RequestParam like below will result in data corruption

public void subscribeToTopics() {

    List<String> topics = Arrays.asList("first-topic", "second-topic", "third-topic");

    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    restTemplate.postForEntity(
            "http://localhost:8088/post-topics?topics={topics}",
            null,
            ResponseEntity.class,
            topics);
}

Instead you can use

public void subscribeToTopics() {

    List<String> topicStrings = Arrays.asList("first-topic", "second-topic", "third-topic");
    String topics = String.join(",",topicStrings);

    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    restTemplate.postForEntity(
            "http://localhost:8088/post-topics?topics={topics}",
            null,
            ResponseEntity.class,
            topics);
}

The complete example can be found here, hope it saves someone the headache :)

JPanel vs JFrame in Java

JFrame is the window; it can have one or more JPanel instances inside it. JPanel is not the window.

let myText = try! String(contentsOfURL: myFileURL, encoding: NSISOLatin1StringEncoding)
print(String(myText))

Getting HTTP headers with Node.js

Using the excellent request module:

var request = require('request');
  request("http://stackoverflow.com", {method: 'HEAD'}, function (err, res, body){
  console.log(res.headers);
});

You can change the method to GET if you wish, but using HEAD will save you from getting the entire response body if you only wish to look at the headers.

HTML input arrays

How to merge two json string in Python?

To append key-value pairs to a json string, you can use dict.update: dictA.update(dictB).

For your case, this will look like this:

dictA = json.loads(jsonStringA)
dictB = json.loads('{"error_1395952167":"Error Occured on machine h1 in datacenter dc3 on the step2 of process test"}')

dictA.update(dictB)
jsonStringA = json.dumps(dictA)

Note that key collisions will cause values in dictB overriding dictA.

Enable SQL Server Broker taking too long

Enabling SQL Server Service Broker requires a database lock. Stop the SQL Server Agent and then execute the following:

USE master ;
GO

ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET ENABLE_BROKER ;
GO

Change [MyDatabase] with the name of your database in question and then start SQL Server Agent.

If you want to see all the databases that have Service Broker enabled or disabled, then query sys.databases, for instance:

SELECT
    name, database_id, is_broker_enabled
FROM sys.databases

Passing an array by reference in C?

To expand a little bit on some of the answers here...

In C, when an array identifier appears in a context other than as an operand to either & or sizeof, the type of the identifier is implicitly converted from "N-element array of T" to "pointer to T", and its value is implicitly set to the address of the first element in the array (which is the same as the address of the array itself). That's why when you just pass the array identifier as an argument to a function, the function receives a pointer to the base type, rather than an array. Since you can't tell how big an array is just by looking at the pointer to the first element, you have to pass the size in as a separate parameter.

struct Coordinate { int x; int y; };
void SomeMethod(struct Coordinate *coordinates, size_t numCoordinates)
{
    ...
    coordinates[i].x = ...;
    coordinates[i].y = ...; 
    ...
}
int main (void)
{
    struct Coordinate coordinates[10];
    ...
    SomeMethod (coordinates, sizeof coordinates / sizeof *coordinates);
    ...
}

There are a couple of alternate ways of passing arrays to functions.

There is such a thing as a pointer to an array of T, as opposed to a pointer to T. You would declare such a pointer as

T (*p)[N];

In this case, p is a pointer to an N-element array of T (as opposed to T *p[N], where p is an N-element array of pointer to T). So you could pass a pointer to the array as opposed to a pointer to the first element:

struct Coordinate { int x; int y };

void SomeMethod(struct Coordinate (*coordinates)[10])
{
    ...
    (*coordinates)[i].x = ...;
    (*coordinates)[i].y = ...;
    ...
}

int main(void)
{
    struct Coordinate coordinates[10];
    ...
    SomeMethod(&coordinates);
    ...
}

The disadvantage of this method is that the array size is fixed, since a pointer to a 10-element array of T is a different type from a pointer to a 20-element array of T.

A third method is to wrap the array in a struct:

struct Coordinate { int x; int y; };
struct CoordinateWrapper { struct Coordinate coordinates[10]; };
void SomeMethod(struct CoordinateWrapper wrapper)
{
    ...
    wrapper.coordinates[i].x = ...;
    wrapper.coordinates[i].y = ...;
    ...
}
int main(void)
{
    struct CoordinateWrapper wrapper;
    ...
    SomeMethod(wrapper);
    ...
}

The advantage of this method is that you aren't mucking around with pointers. The disadvantage is that the array size is fixed (again, a 10-element array of T is a different type from a 20-element array of T).

Nginx 403 error: directory index of [folder] is forbidden

I encountered similar error
--- "403 Forbidden" in the webpage
--- "13: Permission denied" in the error log at /var/log/nginx/error.log

Below 3 Steps worked for me:

1: Open Terminal, saw something like below

user1@comp1:/home/www/

So, my user name is "user1" (from above)

2: Changed user in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

# user www-data;
user user1;

3: Reloaded the nginx

sudo nginx -s reload  

Additionally, I have applied file/folder permissions (before I did above 3 steps)
(755 to my directory, say /dir1/) & (644 for files under that directory):
(I am not sure, if this additional step is really required, just above 3 steps might be enough):

chmod 755 ./dir1/
chmod 644 ./dir1/*.*

Hope this helps quick someone. Best of luck.

How to convert List<string> to List<int>?

What no TryParse? Safe LINQ version that filters out invalid ints (for C# 6.0 and below):

List<int>  ints = strings
    .Select(s => { int i; return int.TryParse(s, out i) ? i : (int?)null; })
    .Where(i => i.HasValue)
    .Select(i => i.Value)
    .ToList();

credit to Olivier Jacot-Descombes for the idea and the C# 7.0 version.

Why there is this "clear" class before footer?

Most likely, as mentioned by others, it is a class carrying the css values:

.clear{clear: both;} 

in order to prevent any more page elements from extending into the footer element. It is a quick and easy way of making sure that pages with columns of varying heights don't cause the footer to render oddly, by possibly setting its top position at the end of a shorter column.

In many cases it is not necessary, but if you are using best-practice standards it is a good idea to use, if you are floating page elements left and right. It functions with page elements similar to the way a horizontal rule works with text, to ensure proper and complete sepperation.

A fatal error occurred while creating a TLS client credential. The internal error state is 10013

Basically we had to enable TLS 1.2 for .NET 4.x. Making this registry changed worked for me, and stopped the event log filling up with the Schannel error.

More information on the answer can be found here

Linked Info Summary

Enable TLS 1.2 at the system (SCHANNEL) level:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

(equivalent keys are probably also available for other TLS versions)

Tell .NET Framework to use the system TLS versions:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
"SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
"SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001

This may not be desirable for edge cases where .NET Framework 4.x applications need to have different protocols enabled and disabled than the OS does.

Java BigDecimal: Round to the nearest whole value

You can use setScale() to reduce the number of fractional digits to zero. Assuming value holds the value to be rounded:

BigDecimal scaled = value.setScale(0, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);
System.out.println(value + " -> " + scaled);

Using round() is a bit more involved as it requires you to specify the number of digits to be retained. In your examples this would be 3, but this is not valid for all values:

BigDecimal rounded = value.round(new MathContext(3, RoundingMode.HALF_UP));
System.out.println(value + " -> " + rounded);

(Note that BigDecimal objects are immutable; both setScale and round will return a new object.)

Determining if an Object is of primitive type

For those who like terse code.

private static final Set<Class> WRAPPER_TYPES = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(
    Boolean.class, Character.class, Byte.class, Short.class, Integer.class, Long.class, Float.class, Double.class, Void.class));
public static boolean isWrapperType(Class clazz) {
    return WRAPPER_TYPES.contains(clazz);
}

How to debug .htaccess RewriteRule not working

To answer the first question of the three asked, a simple way to see if the .htaccess file is working or not is to trigger a custom error at the top of the .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 200 "Hello. This is your .htaccess file talking."
RewriteRule ^ - [L,R=200]

On to your second question, if the .htaccess file is not being read it is possible that the server's main Apache configuration has AllowOverride set to None. Apache's documentation has troubleshooting tips for that and other cases that may be preventing the .htaccess from taking effect.

Finally, to answer your third question, if you need to debug specific variables you are referencing in your rewrite rule or are using an expression that you want to evaluate independently of the rule you can do the following:

Output the variable you are referencing to make sure it has the value you are expecting:

ErrorDocument 200 "Request: %{THE_REQUEST} Referrer: %{HTTP_REFERER} Host: %{HTTP_HOST}"
RewriteRule ^ - [L,R=200]

Test the expression independently by putting it in an <If> Directive. This allows you to make sure your expression is written properly or matching when you expect it to:

<If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ /word$/">
    ErrorDocument 200 "Your expression is priceless!"
    RewriteRule ^ - [L,R=200]
</If>

Happy .htaccess debugging!

PHP Warning: include_once() Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR')

How to detect if CMD is running as Administrator/has elevated privileges?

I know I'm really late to this party, but here's my one liner to determine admin-hood.

It doesn't rely on error level, just on systeminfo:

for /f "tokens=1-6" %%a in ('"net user "%username%" | find /i "Local Group Memberships""') do (set admin=yes & if not "%%d" == "*Administrators" (set admin=no) & echo %admin%)

It returns either yes or no, depending on the user's admin status...

It also sets the value of the variable "admin" to equal yes or no accordingly.

}

AngularJS event on window innerWidth size change

If Khanh TO's solution caused UI issues for you (like it did for me) try using $timeout to not update the attribute until it has been unchanged for 500ms.

var oldWidth = window.innerWidth;
$(window).on('resize.doResize', function () {
    var newWidth = window.innerWidth,
        updateStuffTimer;

    if (newWidth !== oldWidth) {
        $timeout.cancel(updateStuffTimer);
    }

    updateStuffTimer = $timeout(function() {
         updateStuff(newWidth); // Update the attribute based on window.innerWidth
    }, 500);
});

$scope.$on('$destroy',function (){
    $(window).off('resize.doResize'); // remove the handler added earlier
});

How to do this using jQuery - document.getElementById("selectlist").value

Chaos is spot on, though for these sorts of questions you should check out the Jquery Documentation online - it really is quite comprehensive. The feature you are after is called 'jquery selectors'

Generally you do $('#ID').val() - the .afterwards can do a number of things on the element that is returned from the selector. You can also select all of the elements on a certain class and do something to each of them. Check out the documentation for some good examples.

How do I run all Python unit tests in a directory?

This BASH script will execute the python unittest test directory from ANYWHERE in the file system, no matter what working directory you are in: its working directory always be where that test directory is located.

ALL TESTS, independent $PWD

unittest Python module is sensitive to your current directory, unless you tell it where (using discover -s option).

This is useful when staying in the ./src or ./example working directory and you need a quick overall unit test:

#!/bin/bash
this_program="$0"
dirname="`dirname $this_program`"
readlink="`readlink -e $dirname`"

python -m unittest discover -s "$readlink"/test -v

SELECTED TESTS, independent $PWD

I name this utility file: runone.py and use it like this:

runone.py <test-python-filename-minus-dot-py-fileextension>
#!/bin/bash
this_program="$0"
dirname="`dirname $this_program`"
readlink="`readlink -e $dirname`"

(cd "$dirname"/test; python -m unittest $1)

No need for a test/__init__.py file to burden your package/memory-overhead during production.

Python For loop get index

Do you want to iterate over characters or words?

For words, you'll have to split the words first, such as

for index, word in enumerate(loopme.split(" ")):
    print "CURRENT WORD IS", word, "AT INDEX", index

This prints the index of the word.

For the absolute character position you'd need something like

chars = 0
for index, word in enumerate(loopme.split(" ")):
    print "CURRENT WORD IS", word, "AT INDEX", index, "AND AT CHARACTER", chars
    chars += len(word) + 1

Modifying local variable from inside lambda

I had a slightly different problem. Instead of incrementing a local variable in the forEach, I needed to assign an object to the local variable.

I solved this by defining a private inner domain class that wraps both the list I want to iterate over (countryList) and the output I hope to get from that list (foundCountry). Then using Java 8 "forEach", I iterate over the list field, and when the object I want is found, I assign that object to the output field. So this assigns a value to a field of the local variable, not changing the local variable itself. I believe that since the local variable itself is not changed, the compiler doesn't complain. I can then use the value that I captured in the output field, outside of the list.

Domain Object:

public class Country {

    private int id;
    private String countryName;

    public Country(int id, String countryName){
        this.id = id;
        this.countryName = countryName;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getCountryName() {
        return countryName;
    }

    public void setCountryName(String countryName) {
        this.countryName = countryName;
    }
}

Wrapper object:

private class CountryFound{
    private final List<Country> countryList;
    private Country foundCountry;
    public CountryFound(List<Country> countryList, Country foundCountry){
        this.countryList = countryList;
        this.foundCountry = foundCountry;
    }
    public List<Country> getCountryList() {
        return countryList;
    }
    public void setCountryList(List<Country> countryList) {
        this.countryList = countryList;
    }
    public Country getFoundCountry() {
        return foundCountry;
    }
    public void setFoundCountry(Country foundCountry) {
        this.foundCountry = foundCountry;
    }
}

Iterate operation:

int id = 5;
CountryFound countryFound = new CountryFound(countryList, null);
countryFound.getCountryList().forEach(c -> {
    if(c.getId() == id){
        countryFound.setFoundCountry(c);
    }
});
System.out.println("Country found: " + countryFound.getFoundCountry().getCountryName());

You could remove the wrapper class method "setCountryList()" and make the field "countryList" final, but I did not get compilation errors leaving these details as-is.

Authenticating in PHP using LDAP through Active Directory

You would think that simply authenticating a user in Active Directory would be a pretty simple process using LDAP in PHP without the need for a library. But there are a lot of things that can complicate it pretty fast:

  • You must validate input. An empty username/password would pass otherwise.
  • You should ensure the username/password is properly encoded when binding.
  • You should be encrypting the connection using TLS.
  • Using separate LDAP servers for redundancy in case one is down.
  • Getting an informative error message if authentication fails.

It's actually easier in most cases to use a LDAP library supporting the above. I ultimately ended up rolling my own library which handles all the above points: LdapTools (Well, not just for authentication, it can do much more). It can be used like the following:

use LdapTools\Configuration;
use LdapTools\DomainConfiguration;
use LdapTools\LdapManager;

$domain = (new DomainConfiguration('example.com'))
    ->setUsername('username') # A separate AD service account used by your app
    ->setPassword('password')
    ->setServers(['dc1', 'dc2', 'dc3'])
    ->setUseTls(true);
$config = new Configuration($domain);
$ldap = new LdapManager($config);

if (!$ldap->authenticate($username, $password, $message)) {
    echo "Error: $message";
} else {
    // Do something...
}

The authenticate call above will:

  • Validate that neither the username or password is empty.
  • Ensure the username/password is properly encoded (UTF-8 by default)
  • Try an alternate LDAP server in case one is down.
  • Encrypt the authentication request using TLS.
  • Provide additional information if it failed (ie. locked/disabled account, etc)

There are other libraries to do this too (Such as Adldap2). However, I felt compelled enough to provide some additional information as the most up-voted answer is actually a security risk to rely on with no input validation done and not using TLS.

invalid operands of types int and double to binary 'operator%'

Because % is only defined for integer types. That's the modulus operator.

The operands of * and / shall have arithmetic or enumeration type; the operands of % shall have integral or enumeration type. [...]

As Oli pointed out, you can use fmod(). Don't forget to include math.h.

Get Specific Columns Using “With()” Function in Laravel Eloquent

If you use PHP 7.4 or later you can also do it using arrow function so it looks cleaner:

Post::with(['user' => fn ($query) => $query->select('id','username')])->get();

How can I get list of values from dict?

You can use * operator to unpack dict_values:

>>> d = {1: "a", 2: "b"}
>>> [*d.values()]
['a', 'b']

or list object

>>> d = {1: "a", 2: "b"}
>>> list(d.values())
['a', 'b']

php get values from json encode

json_decode will return the same array that was originally encoded. For instanse, if you

$array = json_decode($json, true);
echo $array['countryId'];

OR

$obj= json_decode($json);

echo $obj->countryId;

These both will echo 84. I think json_encode and json_decode function names are self-explanatory...

How to change the cursor into a hand when a user hovers over a list item?

mysql query result in php variable

I personally use prepared statements.

Why is it important?

Well it's important because of security. It's very easy to do an SQL injection on someone who use variables in the query.

Instead of using this code:

$query = "SELECT username,userid FROM user WHERE username = 'admin' ";
$result=$conn->query($query);

You should use this

$stmt = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? AND password = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("ss", $username, $password); //You need the variables to do something as well.
$stmt->execute();

Learn more about prepared statements on:

How to change the URL from "localhost" to something else, on a local system using wampserver?

After another hour or two I can actually answer my own question.

Someone on another forum mentioned that you need to keep a mention of plain ol' localhost in the httpd-vhost.conf file, so here's what I ended up with in there:

ServerName localhost

DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"

DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/pocket/"
ServerName pocket.clickng.com
ServerAlias pocket.clickng.com
ErrorLog "logs/pocket.clickng.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/pocket.clickng.com-access.log" common
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/pocket/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Exit WAMP, restart - good to go. Hope this helps someone else :)

How to save an image to localStorage and display it on the next page?

I wanted to store a user's uploaded image into localStorage, so I can provide a solution for this situation. I got this to work with a combination of the accepted answer, James H. Kelly's comment, and with reference to the Mozilla docs.

I first stored the uploaded image as a Base64 string using a FileReader object:

// get user's uploaded image
const imgPath = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];
const reader = new FileReader();

reader.addEventListener("load", function () {
    // convert image file to base64 string and save to localStorage
    localStorage.setItem("image", reader.result);
}, false);

if (imgPath) {
    reader.readAsDataURL(imgPath);
}

Then, to read the image back in from localStorage, I simply did the following:

let img = document.getElementById('image');
img.src = localStorage.getItem('image');

Adding items to a JComboBox

create a new class called ComboKeyValue.java

    public class ComboKeyValue {
        private String key;
        private String value;
    
        public ComboKeyValue(String key, String value) {
            this.key = key;
            this.value = value;
        }
        
        @Override
        public String toString(){
            return key;
        }
    
        public String getKey() {
            return key;
        }
    
        public String getValue() {
            return value;
        }
}

when you want to add a new item, just write the code as below

 DefaultComboBoxModel model = new DefaultComboBoxModel();
    model.addElement(new ComboKeyValue("key", "value"));
    properties.setModel(model);

Using WGET to run a cronjob PHP

You could tell wget to not download the contents in a couple of different ways:

wget --spider http://www.example.com/cronit.php

which will just perform a HEAD request but probably do what you want

wget -O /dev/null http://www.example.com/cronit.php

which will save the output to /dev/null (a black hole)

You might want to look at wget's -q switch too which prevents it from creating output

I think that the best option would probably be:

wget -q --spider http://www.example.com/cronit.php

that's unless you have some special logic checking the HTTP method used to request the page

Calculate time difference in Windows batch file

Here is my attempt to measure time difference in batch.

It respects the regional format of %TIME% without taking any assumptions on type of characters for time and decimal separators.

The code is commented but I will also describe it here.

It is flexible so it can also be used to normalize non-standard time values as well

The main function :timediff

:: timediff
:: Input and output format is the same format as %TIME%
:: If EndTime is less than StartTime then:
::   EndTime will be treated as a time in the next day
::   in that case, function measures time difference between a maximum distance of 24 hours minus 1 centisecond
::   time elements can have values greater than their standard maximum value ex: 12:247:853.5214
::   provided than the total represented time does not exceed 24*360000 centiseconds
::   otherwise the result will not be meaningful.
:: If EndTime is greater than or equals to StartTime then:
::   No formal limitation applies to the value of elements,
::   except that total represented time can not exceed 2147483647 centiseconds.

set "Start=%TIME%"
REM Do some stuff here...
set "End=%TIME%"

call :timediff Elapsed Start End
echo Elapsed Time: %Elapsed%

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here


Explanation of the :timediff function:

function prototype  :timediff <outDiff> <inStartTime> <inEndTime>

Input and output format is the same format as %TIME%

It takes 3 parameters from left to right:

Param1: Name of the environment variable to save the result to.
Param2: Name of the environment variable to be passed to the function containing StartTime string
Param3: Name of the environment variable to be passed to the function containing EndTime string

If EndTime is less than StartTime then:

    EndTime will be treated as a time in the next day
    in that case, the function measures time difference between a maximum distance of 24 hours minus 1 centisecond
    time elements can have values greater than their standard maximum value ex: 12:247:853.5214
    provided than the total represented time does not exceed 24*360000 centiseconds or (24:00:00.00) otherwise the result will not be meaningful.
If EndTime is greater than or equals to StartTime then:
    No formal limitation applies to the value of elements,
    except that total represented time can not exceed 2147483647 centiseconds.


More examples with literal and non-standard time values

    Literal example with EndTime less than StartTime:
@echo off

set "start=23:57:33,12"
set "end=00:02:19,41"

call :timediff dif start end

echo Start Time: %start%
echo End Time:   %end%
echo,
echo Difference: %dif%
echo,

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here
    Output:
Start Time: 23:57:33,12
End Time:   00:02:19,41

Difference: 00:04:46,29
    Normalize non-standard time:
@echo off

set "start=00:00:00.00"
set "end=27:2457:433.85935"

call :timediff normalized start end

echo,
echo %end% is equivalent to %normalized%
echo,

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here
    Output:

HTML tag inside JavaScript

This is what I used for my countdown clock:

</SCRIPT>
<center class="auto-style19" style="height: 31px">
<Font face="blacksmith" size="large"><strong>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var header = "You have <I><font color=red>" 
+ getDaysUntilICD10() + "</font></I>&nbsp; "
header += "days until ICD-10 starts!"
document.write(header)
</SCRIPT>

The HTML inside of my script worked, though I could not explain why.

SQL Server 2005 Setting a variable to the result of a select query

You could also just put the first SELECT in a subquery. Since most optimizers will fold it into a constant anyway, there should not be a performance hit on this.

Incidentally, since you are using a predicate like this:

CONVERT(...) = CONVERT(...)

that predicate expression cannot be optimized properly or use indexes on the columns reference by the CONVERT() function.

Here is one way to make the original query somewhat better:

DECLARE @ooDate datetime
SELECT @ooDate = OO.Date FROM OLAP.OutageHours AS OO where OO.OutageID = 1

SELECT 
  COUNT(FF.HALID)
FROM
  Outages.FaultsInOutages AS OFIO 
  INNER JOIN Faults.Faults as FF ON 
    FF.HALID = OFIO.HALID 
WHERE
  FF.FaultDate >= @ooDate AND
  FF.FaultDate < DATEADD(day, 1, @ooDate) AND
  OFIO.OutageID = 1

This version could leverage in index that involved FaultDate, and achieves the same goal.

Here it is, rewritten to use a subquery to avoid the variable declaration and subsequent SELECT.

SELECT 
  COUNT(FF.HALID)
FROM
  Outages.FaultsInOutages AS OFIO 
  INNER JOIN Faults.Faults as FF ON 
    FF.HALID = OFIO.HALID 
WHERE
  CONVERT(varchar(10), FF.FaultDate, 126) = (SELECT CONVERT(varchar(10), OO.Date, 126) FROM OLAP.OutageHours AS OO where OO.OutageID = 1) AND
  OFIO.OutageID = 1

Note that this approach has the same index usage issue as the original, because of the use of CONVERT() on FF.FaultDate. This could be remedied by adding the subquery twice, but you would be better served with the variable approach in this case. This last version is only for demonstration.

Regards.

Dart: mapping a list (list.map)

Adding click event listener to elements with the same class

You have to use querySelectorAll as you need to select all elements with the said class, again since querySelectorAll is an array you need to iterate it and add the event handlers

var deleteLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.delete');
for (var i = 0; i < deleteLinks.length; i++) {
    deleteLinks[i].addEventListener('click', function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();

        var choice = confirm("sure u want to delete?");
        if (choice) {
            return true;
        }
    });
}

Find the files existing in one directory but not in the other

diff -r dir1 dir2 | grep dir1 | awk '{print $4}' > difference1.txt

Explanation:

  • diff -r dir1 dir2 shows which files are only in dir1 and those only in dir2 and also the changes of the files present in both directories if any.

  • diff -r dir1 dir2 | grep dir1 shows which files are only in dir1

  • awk to print only filename.

'printf' with leading zeros in C

Your format specifier is incorrect. From the printf() man page on my machine:

0 A zero '0' character indicating that zero-padding should be used rather than blank-padding. A '-' overrides a '0' if both are used;

Field Width: An optional digit string specifying a field width; if the output string has fewer characters than the field width it will be blank-padded on the left (or right, if the left-adjustment indicator has been given) to make up the field width (note that a leading zero is a flag, but an embedded zero is part of a field width);

Precision: An optional period, '.', followed by an optional digit string giving a precision which specifies the number of digits to appear after the decimal point, for e and f formats, or the maximum number of characters to be printed from a string; if the digit string is missing, the precision is treated as zero;

For your case, your format would be %09.3f:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("%09.3f\n", 4917.24);
  return 0;
}

Output:

$ make testapp
cc     testapp.c   -o testapp
$ ./testapp 
04917.240

Note that this answer is conditional on your embedded system having a printf() implementation that is standard-compliant for these details - many embedded environments do not have such an implementation.

how do I get the bullet points of a <ul> to center with the text?

I found the answer today. Maybe its too late but still I think its a much better one. Check this one https://jsfiddle.net/Amar_newDev/khb2oyru/5/

Try to change the CSS code : <ul> max-width:1%; margin:auto; text-align:left; </ul>

max-width:80% or something like that.

Try experimenting you might find something new.

Error: Cannot find module '../lib/utils/unsupported.js' while using Ionic

This may happen when the npm/lib folder got emptied for some reason (could also happen due to permission issues in the last usage).

A reinstallation of the node could solve the issue (as stated on other answers here), but I would suggest using a wonderful tool called nvm (Node Version Manager), which is able to manage multiple version of node and npm - this is mostly useful on dev machines with more than one projects require different versions of node.

When you install nvm, this message will go away and you will have the latest version of node and npm to use.

In order to see the list of currently installed node versions in your nvm, just run:

nvm list

In order to install and use a new node version, run:

nvm install <node_version>

For example to install latest version of node 10.x, run:

nvm install 10

In order to switch to currently installed version, run:

nvm use <node_version>

In order to switch to system's original node version, just run:

nvm use system

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

SQL Server : Columns to Rows

Just to help new readers, I've created an example to better understand @bluefeet's answer about UNPIVOT.

How to convert Nonetype to int or string?

In Python 3 you can use the "or" keyword too. This way:

foo = bar or 0
foo2 = bar or ""

Drawing circles with System.Drawing

You'll need to use DrawEllipse if you want to draw a circle using GDI+.

An example is here: http://www.websupergoo.com/helpig6net/source/3-examples/9-drawgdi.htm

Why do we need C Unions?

Unions are particularly useful in Embedded programming or in situations where direct access to the hardware/memory is needed. Here is a trivial example:

typedef union
{
    struct {
        unsigned char byte1;
        unsigned char byte2;
        unsigned char byte3;
        unsigned char byte4;
    } bytes;
    unsigned int dword;
} HW_Register;
HW_Register reg;

Then you can access the reg as follows:

reg.dword = 0x12345678;
reg.bytes.byte3 = 4;

Endianness (byte order) and processor architecture are of course important.

Another useful feature is the bit modifier:

typedef union
{
    struct {
        unsigned char b1:1;
        unsigned char b2:1;
        unsigned char b3:1;
        unsigned char b4:1;
        unsigned char reserved:4;
    } bits;
    unsigned char byte;
} HW_RegisterB;
HW_RegisterB reg;

With this code you can access directly a single bit in the register/memory address:

x = reg.bits.b2;

Combine multiple Collections into a single logical Collection?

Here is my solution for that:

EDIT - changed code a little bit

public static <E> Iterable<E> concat(final Iterable<? extends E> list1, Iterable<? extends E> list2)
{
    return new Iterable<E>()
    {
        public Iterator<E> iterator()
        {
            return new Iterator<E>()
            {
                protected Iterator<? extends E> listIterator = list1.iterator();
                protected Boolean checkedHasNext;
                protected E nextValue;
                private boolean startTheSecond;

                public void theNext()
                {
                    if (listIterator.hasNext())
                    {
                        checkedHasNext = true;
                        nextValue = listIterator.next();
                    }
                    else if (startTheSecond)
                        checkedHasNext = false;
                    else
                    {
                        startTheSecond = true;
                        listIterator = list2.iterator();
                        theNext();
                    }
                }

                public boolean hasNext()
                {
                    if (checkedHasNext == null)
                        theNext();
                    return checkedHasNext;
                }

                public E next()
                {
                    if (!hasNext())
                        throw new NoSuchElementException();
                    checkedHasNext = null;
                    return nextValue;

                }

                public void remove()
                {
                    listIterator.remove();
                }
            };
        }
    };
}

Is it possible for UIStackView to scroll?

Up to date for 2020.

100% storyboard OR 100% code.


Here's the simplest possible explanation:

  1. Have a blank full-screen scene

  2. Add a scroll view. Control-drag from the scroll view to the base view, add left-right-top-bottom, all zero.

  3. Add a stack view in the scroll view. Control-drag from the stack view to the scroll view, add left-right-top-bottom, all zero.

  4. Put two or three labels inside the stack view.

For clarity, make the background color of the label red. Set the label height to 100.

  1. Now set the width of each UILabel:

    Surprisingly, control-drag from the UILabel to the scroll view, not to the stack view, and select equal widths.

To repeat:

Don't control drag from the UILabel to the UILabel's parent - go to the grandparent. (In other words, go all the way to the scroll view, do not go to the stack view.)

It's that simple. That's the secret.

Secret tip - Apple bug:

It will not work with only one item! Add a few labels to make the demo work.

You're done.

Tip: You must add a height to every new item. Every item in any scrolling stack view must have either an intrinsic size (such as a label) or add an explicit height constraint.


The alternative approach:

In the above: surprisingly, set the widths of the UILabels to the width of the scroll view (not the stack view).

Alternately...

Drag from the stack view to the scroll view, and add a "width equal" constraint. This seems strange because you already pinned left-right, but that is how you do it. No matter how strange it seems that's the secret.

So you have two options:

  1. Surprisingly, set the width of each item in the stack view to the width of the scrollview grandparent (not the stackview parent).

or

  1. Surprisingly, set a "width equal" of the stackview to the scrollview - even though you do have the left and right edges of the stackview pinned to the scrollview anyway.

To be clear, do ONE of those methods, do NOT do both.

Permutations between two lists of unequal length

Note: This answer is for the specific question asked above. If you are here from Google and just looking for a way to get a Cartesian product in Python, itertools.product or a simple list comprehension may be what you are looking for - see the other answers.


Suppose len(list1) >= len(list2). Then what you appear to want is to take all permutations of length len(list2) from list1 and match them with items from list2. In python:

import itertools
list1=['a','b','c']
list2=[1,2]

[list(zip(x,list2)) for x in itertools.permutations(list1,len(list2))]

Returns

[[('a', 1), ('b', 2)], [('a', 1), ('c', 2)], [('b', 1), ('a', 2)], [('b', 1), ('c', 2)], [('c', 1), ('a', 2)], [('c', 1), ('b', 2)]]

Importing xsd into wsdl

import vs. include

The primary purpose of an import is to import a namespace. A more common use of the XSD import statement is to import a namespace which appears in another file. You might be gathering the namespace information from the file, but don't forget that it's the namespace that you're importing, not the file (don't confuse an import statement with an include statement).

Another area of confusion is how to specify the location or path of the included .xsd file: An XSD import statement has an optional attribute named schemaLocation but it is not necessary if the namespace of the import statement is at the same location (in the same file) as the import statement itself.

When you do chose to use an external .xsd file for your WSDL, the schemaLocation attribute becomes necessary. Be very sure that the namespace you use in the import statement is the same as the targetNamespace of the schema you are importing. That is, all 3 occurrences must be identical:

WSDL:

xs:import namespace="urn:listing3" schemaLocation="listing3.xsd"/>

XSD:

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:listing3"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> 

Another approach to letting know the WSDL about the XSD is through Maven's pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>xmlbeans-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>generate-sources-xmlbeans</id>
      <phase>generate-sources</phase>
      <goals>
    <goal>xmlbeans</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <version>2.3.3</version>
  <inherited>true</inherited>
  <configuration>
    <schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/xsd</schemaDirectory>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

You can read more on this in this great IBM article. It has typos such as xsd:import instead of xs:import but otherwise it's fine.

How to add 'ON DELETE CASCADE' in ALTER TABLE statement

Here is an handy solution! I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2.

As you want to modify the FK constraint by adding ON DELETE/UPDATE CASCADE, follow these steps:

NUMBER 1:

Right click on the constraint and click to Modify

enter image description here

NUMBER 2:

Choose your constraint on the left side (if there are more than one). Then on the right side, collapse "INSERT And UPDATE Specification" point and specify the actions on Delete Rule or Update Rule row to suit your need. After that, close the dialog box.

enter image description here

NUMBER 3:

The final step is to save theses modifications (of course!)

enter image description here

PS: It's saved me from a bunch of work as I want to modify a primary key referenced in another table.

C function that counts lines in file

while(!feof(fp))
{
  ch = fgetc(fp);
  if(ch == '\n')
  {
    lines++;
  }
}

But please note: Why is “while ( !feof (file) )” always wrong?.

Java: How to stop thread?

We don't stop or kill a thread rather we do Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted().

public class Task1 implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
            while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
                       ................
                       ................
                       ................
                       ................
           }
    }
}

in main we will do like this:

Thread t1 = new Thread(new Task1());
t1.start();
t1.interrupt();

C# ASP.NET Single Sign-On Implementation

There are multiple options to implement SSO for a .NET application.

Get full URL and query string in Servlet for both HTTP and HTTPS requests

By design, getRequestURL() gives you the full URL, missing only the query string.

In HttpServletRequest, you can get individual parts of the URI using the methods below:

// Example: http://myhost:8080/people?lastname=Fox&age=30

String uri = request.getScheme() + "://" +   // "http" + "://
             request.getServerName() +       // "myhost"
             ":" +                           // ":"
             request.getServerPort() +       // "8080"
             request.getRequestURI() +       // "/people"
             "?" +                           // "?"
             request.getQueryString();       // "lastname=Fox&age=30"
  • .getScheme() will give you "https" if it was a https://domain request.
  • .getServerName() gives domain on http(s)://domain.
  • .getServerPort() will give you the port.

Use the snippet below:

String uri = request.getScheme() + "://" +
             request.getServerName() + 
             ("http".equals(request.getScheme()) && request.getServerPort() == 80 || "https".equals(request.getScheme()) && request.getServerPort() == 443 ? "" : ":" + request.getServerPort() ) +
             request.getRequestURI() +
            (request.getQueryString() != null ? "?" + request.getQueryString() : "");

This snippet above will get the full URI, hiding the port if the default one was used, and not adding the "?" and the query string if the latter was not provided.


Proxied requests

Note, that if your request passes through a proxy, you need to look at the X-Forwarded-Proto header since the scheme might be altered:

request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-Proto")

Also, a common header is X-Forwarded-For, which show the original request IP instead of the proxys IP.

request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For")

If you are responsible for the configuration of the proxy/load balancer yourself, you need to ensure that these headers are set upon forwarding.

Add a new item to recyclerview programmatically?

if you are adding multiple items to the list use this:

mAdapter.notifyItemRangeInserted(startPosition, itemcount);

This notify any registered observers that the currently reflected itemCount items starting at positionStart have been newly inserted. The item previously located at positionStart and beyond can now be found starting at position positinStart+itemCount

existing item in the dataset still considered up to date.

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component VS2012 when debugging

I had just removed a port number, forgot to delete the preceding colon and tried running with: http://localhost:/XYZ

Seems like lots of different issues result in this error message.

Handling key-press events (F1-F12) using JavaScript and jQuery, cross-browser

The best source I have for this kind of question is this page: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html

What they say is that the key codes are odd on Safari, and consistent everywhere else (except that there's no keypress event on IE, but I believe keydown works).

undefined reference to 'vtable for class' constructor

You're declaring a virtual function and not defining it:

Either define it or declare it as:

virtual void calculateCredits() = 0;

Or simply:

virtual void calculateCredits() { };

Loop through all the resources in a .resx file

The minute you add a resource .RESX file to your project, Visual Studio will create a Designer.cs with the same name, creating a a class for you with all the items of the resource as static properties. You can see all the names of the resource when you type the dot in the editor after you type the name of the resource file.

Alternatively, you can use reflection to loop through these names.

Type resourceType = Type.GetType("AssemblyName.Resource1");
PropertyInfo[] resourceProps = resourceType.GetProperties(
    BindingFlags.NonPublic | 
    BindingFlags.Static | 
    BindingFlags.GetProperty);

foreach (PropertyInfo info in resourceProps)
{
    string name = info.Name;
    object value = info.GetValue(null, null);  // object can be an image, a string whatever
    // do something with name and value
}

This method is obviously only usable when the RESX file is in scope of the current assembly or project. Otherwise, use the method provided by "pulse".

The advantage of this method is that you call the actual properties that have been provided for you, taking into account any localization if you wish. However, it is rather redundant, as normally you should use the type safe direct method of calling the properties of your resources.

What does %5B and %5D in POST requests stand for?

Not least important is why these symbols occur in url. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php#76792, specifically:

parse_str('foo[]=1&foo[]=2&foo[]=3', $bar);

the above produces:

$bar = ['foo' => ['1', '2', '3'] ];

How can I extract the folder path from file path in Python?

Anyone trying to do this in the ESRI GIS Table field calculator interface can do this with the Python parser:

PathToContainingFolder =

so that

\Users\me\Desktop\New folder\file.txt

becomes

\Users\me\Desktop\New folder

ld cannot find an existing library

In Ubuntu, you can install libtool which resolves the libraries automatically.

$ sudo apt-get install libtool

This resolved a problem with ltdl for me, which had been installed as libltdl.so.7 and wasn't found as simply -lltdl in the make.

HashSet vs. List performance

You can use a HybridDictionary which automaticly detects the breaking point, and accepts null-values, making it essentialy the same as a HashSet.

Why can't non-default arguments follow default arguments?

All required parameters must be placed before any default arguments. Simply because they are mandatory, whereas default arguments are not. Syntactically, it would be impossible for the interpreter to decide which values match which arguments if mixed modes were allowed. A SyntaxError is raised if the arguments are not given in the correct order:

Let us take a look at keyword arguments, using your function.

def fun1(a="who is you", b="True", x, y):
...     print a,b,x,y

Suppose its allowed to declare function as above, Then with the above declarations, we can make the following (regular) positional or keyword argument calls:

func1("ok a", "ok b", 1)  # Is 1 assigned to x or ?
func1(1)                  # Is 1 assigned to a or ?
func1(1, 2)               # ?

How you will suggest the assignment of variables in the function call, how default arguments are going to be used along with keyword arguments.

>>> def fun1(x, y, a="who is you", b="True"):
...     print a,b,x,y
... 

Reference O'Reilly - Core-Python
Where as this function make use of the default arguments syntactically correct for above function calls. Keyword arguments calling prove useful for being able to provide for out-of-order positional arguments, but, coupled with default arguments, they can also be used to "skip over" missing arguments as well.

How to get response from S3 getObject in Node.js?

Alternatively you could use minio-js client library get-object.js

var Minio = require('minio')

var s3Client = new Minio({
  endPoint: 's3.amazonaws.com',
  accessKey: 'YOUR-ACCESSKEYID',
  secretKey: 'YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY'
})

var size = 0
// Get a full object.
s3Client.getObject('my-bucketname', 'my-objectname', function(e, dataStream) {
  if (e) {
    return console.log(e)
  }
  dataStream.on('data', function(chunk) {
    size += chunk.length
  })
  dataStream.on('end', function() {
    console.log("End. Total size = " + size)
  })
  dataStream.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e)
  })
})

Disclaimer: I work for Minio Its open source, S3 compatible object storage written in golang with client libraries available in Java, Python, Js, golang.

What are the retransmission rules for TCP?

There's no fixed time for retransmission. Simple implementations estimate the RTT (round-trip-time) and if no ACK to send data has been received in 2x that time then they re-send.

They then double the wait-time and re-send once more if again there is no reply. Rinse. Repeat.

More sophisticated systems make better estimates of how long it should take for the ACK as well as guesses about exactly which data has been lost.

The bottom-line is that there is no hard-and-fast rule about exactly when to retransmit. It's up to the implementation. All retransmissions are triggered solely by the sender based on lack of response from the receiver.

TCP never drops data so no, there is no way to indicate a server should forget about some segment.

How to customize the background color of a UITableViewCell?

The best approach I've found so far is to set a background view of the cell and clear background of cell subviews. Of course, this looks nice on tables with indexed style only, no matter with or without accessories.

Here is a sample where cell's background is panted yellow:

UIView* backgroundView = [ [ [ UIView alloc ] initWithFrame:CGRectZero ] autorelease ];
backgroundView.backgroundColor = [ UIColor yellowColor ];
cell.backgroundView = backgroundView;
for ( UIView* view in cell.contentView.subviews ) 
{
    view.backgroundColor = [ UIColor clearColor ];
}

Using GregorianCalendar with SimpleDateFormat

Why such complications?

    GregorianCalendar cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTime(date);
    return cal;
}

node.js hash string?

Take a look at crypto.createHash(algorithm)

var filename = process.argv[2];
var crypto = require('crypto');
var fs = require('fs');

var md5sum = crypto.createHash('md5');

var s = fs.ReadStream(filename);
s.on('data', function(d) {
  md5sum.update(d);
});

s.on('end', function() {
  var d = md5sum.digest('hex');
  console.log(d + '  ' + filename);
});

What is the difference between char array and char pointer in C?

What is the difference between char array vs char pointer in C?

C99 N1256 draft

There are two different uses of character string literals:

  1. Initialize char[]:

    char c[] = "abc";      
    

    This is "more magic", and described at 6.7.8/14 "Initialization":

    An array of character type may be initialized by a character string literal, optionally enclosed in braces. Successive characters of the character string literal (including the terminating null character if there is room or if the array is of unknown size) initialize the elements of the array.

    So this is just a shortcut for:

    char c[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', '\0'};
    

    Like any other regular array, c can be modified.

  2. Everywhere else: it generates an:

    So when you write:

    char *c = "abc";
    

    This is similar to:

    /* __unnamed is magic because modifying it gives UB. */
    static char __unnamed[] = "abc";
    char *c = __unnamed;
    

    Note the implicit cast from char[] to char *, which is always legal.

    Then if you modify c[0], you also modify __unnamed, which is UB.

    This is documented at 6.4.5 "String literals":

    5 In translation phase 7, a byte or code of value zero is appended to each multibyte character sequence that results from a string literal or literals. The multibyte character sequence is then used to initialize an array of static storage duration and length just sufficient to contain the sequence. For character string literals, the array elements have type char, and are initialized with the individual bytes of the multibyte character sequence [...]

    6 It is unspecified whether these arrays are distinct provided their elements have the appropriate values. If the program attempts to modify such an array, the behavior is undefined.

6.7.8/32 "Initialization" gives a direct example:

EXAMPLE 8: The declaration

char s[] = "abc", t[3] = "abc";

defines "plain" char array objects s and t whose elements are initialized with character string literals.

This declaration is identical to

char s[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', '\0' },
t[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' };

The contents of the arrays are modifiable. On the other hand, the declaration

char *p = "abc";

defines p with type "pointer to char" and initializes it to point to an object with type "array of char" with length 4 whose elements are initialized with a character string literal. If an attempt is made to use p to modify the contents of the array, the behavior is undefined.

GCC 4.8 x86-64 ELF implementation

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    char *s = "abc";
    printf("%s\n", s);
    return 0;
}

Compile and decompile:

gcc -ggdb -std=c99 -c main.c
objdump -Sr main.o

Output contains:

 char *s = "abc";
8:  48 c7 45 f8 00 00 00    movq   $0x0,-0x8(%rbp)
f:  00 
        c: R_X86_64_32S .rodata

Conclusion: GCC stores char* it in .rodata section, not in .text.

If we do the same for char[]:

 char s[] = "abc";

we obtain:

17:   c7 45 f0 61 62 63 00    movl   $0x636261,-0x10(%rbp)

so it gets stored in the stack (relative to %rbp).

Note however that the default linker script puts .rodata and .text in the same segment, which has execute but no write permission. This can be observed with:

readelf -l a.out

which contains:

 Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   02     .text .rodata

Sort ObservableCollection<string> through C#

I did a sort on a certain class field (distance).

public class RateInfo 
{
    public string begin { get; set; }
    public string end { get; set; }
    public string price { get; set; }
    public string comment { get; set; }
    public string phone { get; set; }
    public string ImagePath { get; set; }
    public string what { get; set; }
    public string distance { get; set; }
}    

public ObservableCollection<RateInfo> Phones { get; set; }

public List<RateInfo> LRate { get; set; }

public ObservableCollection<RateInfo> Phones { get; set; }

public List<RateInfo> LRate { get; set; }

......

foreach (var item in ph)
        {

            LRate.Add(new RateInfo { begin = item["begin"].ToString(), end = item["end"].ToString(), price = item["price"].ToString(), distance=kilom, ImagePath = "chel.png" });
        }

       LRate.Sort((x, y) => x.distance.CompareTo(y.distance));

        foreach (var item in LRate)
        {
            Phones.Add(item);
        }

Signed versus Unsigned Integers

I'll go into differences at the hardware level, on x86. This is mostly irrelevant unless you're writing a compiler or using assembly language. But it's nice to know.

Firstly, x86 has native support for the two's complement representation of signed numbers. You can use other representations but this would require more instructions and generally be a waste of processor time.

What do I mean by "native support"? Basically I mean that there are a set of instructions you use for unsigned numbers and another set that you use for signed numbers. Unsigned numbers can sit in the same registers as signed numbers, and indeed you can mix signed and unsigned instructions without worrying the processor. It's up to the compiler (or assembly programmer) to keep track of whether a number is signed or not, and use the appropriate instructions.

Firstly, two's complement numbers have the property that addition and subtraction is just the same as for unsigned numbers. It makes no difference whether the numbers are positive or negative. (So you just go ahead and ADD and SUB your numbers without a worry.)

The differences start to show when it comes to comparisons. x86 has a simple way of differentiating them: above/below indicates an unsigned comparison and greater/less than indicates a signed comparison. (E.g. JAE means "Jump if above or equal" and is unsigned.)

There are also two sets of multiplication and division instructions to deal with signed and unsigned integers.

Lastly: if you want to check for, say, overflow, you would do it differently for signed and for unsigned numbers.

PHP - Extracting a property from an array of objects

function extract_ids($cats){
    $res = array();
    foreach($cats as $k=>$v) {
        $res[]= $v->id;
    }
    return $res
}

and use it in one line:

$ids = extract_ids($cats);

Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash and preg_match

The solution (which other answers don't mention—at least at the time of my originally writing this) is that when PHP refers to delimiters, it's not referring to the delimiters you see in your code (which are quote marks) but the next characters inside the string. (In fact I've never seen this stated anywhere in any documentation: you have to see it in examples.) So instead of having a regular expression syntax like what you may be accustomed to from many other languages:

/something/

PHP uses strings, and then looks inside the string for another delimiter:

'/something/'

The delimiter PHP is referring to is the pair of / characters, instead of the pair of ' characters. So if you write 'something', PHP will take s as the intended delimiter and complain that you're not allowed to use alphanumeric characters as your delimiter.

So if you want to pass (for instance) an i to show that you want a case-insensitve match, you pass it inside the string but outside of the regex delimiters:

'/something/i'

If you want to use something other than / as your delimiter, you can, such as if you're matching a URL and don't want to have to escape all the slashes:

'~something~'

Commenting out a set of lines in a shell script

Depending of the editor that you're using there are some shortcuts to comment a block of lines.

Another workaround would be to put your code in an "if (0)" conditional block ;)

stop all instances of node.js server

Windows Machine:

Need to kill a Node.js server, and you don't have any other Node processes running, you can tell your machine to kill all processes named node.exe. That would look like this:

taskkill /im node.exe

And if the processes still persist, you can force the processes to terminate by adding the /f flag:

taskkill /f /im node.exe

If you need more fine-grained control and need to only kill a server that is running on a specific port, you can use netstat to find the process ID, then send a kill signal to it. So in your case, where the port is 8080, you could run the following:

C:\>netstat -ano | find "LISTENING" | find "8080"

The fifth column of the output is the process ID:

  TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       14828
  TCP    [::]:8080              [::]:0                 LISTENING       14828

You could then kill the process with taskkill /pid 14828. If the process refuses to exit, then just add the /f (force) parameter to the command.


Linux machine:

The process is almost identical. You could either kill all Node processes running on the machine (use -$SIGNAL if SIGKILL is insufficient):

killall node

Or also using netstat, you can find the PID of a process listening on a port:

$ netstat -nlp | grep :8080
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080         0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      1073/node

The process ID in this case is the number before the process name in the sixth column, which you could then pass to the kill command:

$ kill 1073

If the process refuses to exit, then just use the -9 flag, which is a SIGTERM and cannot be ignored:

$ kill -9 1073

RunAs A different user when debugging in Visual Studio

I'm using the following method based on @Watki02's answer:

  1. Shift r-click the application to debug
  2. Run as different user
  3. Attach the debugger to the application

That way you can keep your visual studio instance as your own user whilst debugging from the other.

Converting an int or String to a char array on Arduino

  1. To convert and append an integer, use operator += (or member function concat):

    String stringOne = "A long integer: ";
    stringOne += 123456789;
    
  2. To get the string as type char[], use toCharArray():

    char charBuf[50];
    stringOne.toCharArray(charBuf, 50)
    

In the example, there is only space for 49 characters (presuming it is terminated by null). You may want to make the size dynamic.

Overhead

The cost of bringing in String (it is not included if not used anywhere in the sketch), is approximately 1212 bytes program memory (flash) and 48 bytes RAM.

This was measured using Arduino IDE version 1.8.10 (2019-09-13) for an Arduino Leonardo sketch.

What is the significance of 1/1/1753 in SQL Server?

This is whole story how date problem was and how Big DBMSs handled these problems.

During the period between 1 A.D. and today, the Western world has actually used two main calendars: the Julian calendar of Julius Caesar and the Gregorian calendar of Pope Gregory XIII. The two calendars differ with respect to only one rule: the rule for deciding what a leap year is. In the Julian calendar, all years divisible by four are leap years. In the Gregorian calendar, all years divisible by four are leap years, except that years divisible by 100 (but not divisible by 400) are not leap years. Thus, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are leap years in the Julian calendar but not in the Gregorian calendar, while the years 1600 and 2000 are leap years in both calendars.

When Pope Gregory XIII introduced his calendar in 1582, he also directed that the days between October 4, 1582, and October 15, 1582, should be skipped—that is, he said that the day after October 4 should be October 15. Many countries delayed changing over, though. England and her colonies didn't switch from Julian to Gregorian reckoning until 1752, so for them, the skipped dates were between September 4 and September 14, 1752. Other countries switched at other times, but 1582 and 1752 are the relevant dates for the DBMSs that we're discussing.

Thus, two problems arise with date arithmetic when one goes back many years. The first is, should leap years before the switch be calculated according to the Julian or the Gregorian rules? The second problem is, when and how should the skipped days be handled?

This is how the Big DBMSs handle these questions:

  • Pretend there was no switch. This is what the SQL Standard seems to require, although the standard document is unclear: It just says that dates are "constrained by the natural rules for dates using the Gregorian calendar"—whatever "natural rules" are. This is the option that DB2 chose. When there is a pretence that a single calendar's rules have always applied even to times when nobody heard of the calendar, the technical term is that a "proleptic" calendar is in force. So, for example, we could say that DB2 follows a proleptic Gregorian calendar.
  • Avoid the problem entirely. Microsoft and Sybase set their minimum date values at January 1, 1753, safely past the time that America switched calendars. This is defendable, but from time to time complaints surface that these two DBMSs lack a useful functionality that the other DBMSs have and that the SQL Standard requires.
  • Pick 1582. This is what Oracle did. An Oracle user would find that the date-arithmetic expression October 15 1582 minus October 4 1582 yields a value of 1 day (because October 5–14 don't exist) and that the date February 29 1300 is valid (because the Julian leap-year rule applies). Why did Oracle go to extra trouble when the SQL Standard doesn't seem to require it? The answer is that users might require it. Historians and astronomers use this hybrid system instead of a proleptic Gregorian calendar. (This is also the default option that Sun picked when implementing the GregorianCalendar class for Java—despite the name, GregorianCalendar is a hybrid calendar.)

Ineligible Devices section appeared in Xcode 6.x.x

There is a lot of options (10 23 29 answers for this question!), that can cause this error. And no one is 100% solve this issue. Here is summarise of all solutions.

First of all:

0. Update to latest Xcode version
Most of the reasons, that cause this problem fixed in Xcode version 6.3.1 (6D1002 published April 21, 2015)

List of solutions in order frequency of occurrence:

  1. The most likely solution::

    • In Xcode status go to: Menu bar-> Product -> Destination and find your device. It will be listed under Ineligible section
    • Select your device. After you will be able to build and deploy to device! (thanks, @joshstaiger)

    enter image description here


If it doesn't work:

  1. iOS Deployment Target should be <= of the version of your device. You find this option in Build Settings tab when you click on a target of your project in Xcode.

  2. If version is correct - try to restart Mac and iPhone/iPad simultaneously. It resolve this issue in most cases! (thanks, @HoaParis)

  3. Finally if either doesn't work - try to do this magic actions:

    • switch iOS Deployment Target to 8.1
    • restart Xcode
    • switch back to desired version.

Other problems, that cause this issue:

  1. Xcode Beta 6.3 does not support iOS 8.2 (and also 8.1). You won't see your iDevice in deploy target list. Use Xcode 6.2 instead of Xcode 6.3 beta in order to debug with an iDevice iOS 8.2

  2. Xcode 6.3 requires Unity 4.6.4 If you're using an older Unity version (e.g. 4.6.3) you'll always get your devices in the Ineligible Devices section (thanks, @d4rk)

  3. Also it appears in case of changing name of Xcode project. The fix it - create a new scheme by selecting Manage Schemes > (+) button. (thanks, @dale-moore)

  4. Beta to Release upgrade of Xcode can require upgrading iOS or watchOS from beta to release version. For example, when switching from Xcode 8 beta 6 to Xcode 8 release, watchOS 3 beta is listed as unsupported.

How to apply a low-pass or high-pass filter to an array in Matlab?

You can design a lowpass Butterworth filter in runtime, using butter() function, and then apply that to the signal.

fc = 300; % Cut off frequency
fs = 1000; % Sampling rate

[b,a] = butter(6,fc/(fs/2)); % Butterworth filter of order 6
x = filter(b,a,signal); % Will be the filtered signal

Highpass and bandpass filters are also possible with this method. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/butter.html

Can Google Chrome open local links?

LocalLinks now seems to be obsolete.

LocalExplorer seems to have taken it's place and provides similar functionality:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/local-explorer-file-manag/eokekhgpaakbkfkmjjcbffibkencdfkl/reviews?hl=en

It's basically a chrome plugin that replaces file:// links with localexplorer:// links, combined with an installable protocol handler that intercepts localexplorer:// links.

How to Load an Assembly to AppDomain with all references recursively?

I have had to do this several times and have researched many different solutions.

The solution I find in most elegant and easy to accomplish can be implemented as such.

1. Create a project that you can create a simple interface

the interface will contain signatures of any members you wish to call.

public interface IExampleProxy
{
    string HelloWorld( string name );
}

Its important to keep this project clean and lite. It is a project that both AppDomain's can reference and will allow us to not reference the Assembly we wish to load in seprate domain from our client assembly.

2. Now create project that has the code you want to load in seperate AppDomain.

This project as with the client proj will reference the proxy proj and you will implement the interface.

public interface Example : MarshalByRefObject, IExampleProxy
{
    public string HelloWorld( string name )
    {
        return $"Hello '{ name }'";
    }
}

3. Next, in the client project, load code in another AppDomain.

So, now we create a new AppDomain. Can specify the base location for assembly references. Probing will check for dependent assemblies in GAC and in current directory and the AppDomain base loc.

// set up domain and create
AppDomainSetup domaininfo = new AppDomainSetup
{
    ApplicationBase = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory
};

Evidence adevidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence;

AppDomain exampleDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Example", adevidence, domaininfo);

// assembly ant data names
var assemblyName = "<AssemblyName>, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null|<keyIfSigned>";
var exampleTypeName = "Example";

// Optional - get a reflection only assembly type reference
var @type = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad( assemblyName ).GetType( exampleTypeName ); 

// create a instance of the `Example` and assign to proxy type variable
IExampleProxy proxy= ( IExampleProxy )exampleDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap( assemblyName, exampleTypeName );

// Optional - if you got a type ref
IExampleProxy proxy= ( IExampleProxy )exampleDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap( @type.Assembly.Name, @type.Name );    

// call any members you wish
var stringFromOtherAd = proxy.HelloWorld( "Tommy" );

// unload the `AppDomain`
AppDomain.Unload( exampleDomain );

if you need to, there are a ton of different ways to load an assembly. You can use a different way with this solution. If you have the assembly qualified name then I like to use the CreateInstanceAndUnwrap since it loads the assembly bytes and then instantiates your type for you and returns an object that you can simple cast to your proxy type or if you not that into strongly-typed code you could use the dynamic language runtime and assign the returned object to a dynamic typed variable then just call members on that directly.

There you have it.

This allows to load an assembly that your client proj doesnt have reference to in a seperate AppDomain and call members on it from client.

To test, I like to use the Modules window in Visual Studio. It will show you your client assembly domain and what all modules are loaded in that domain as well your new app domain and what assemblies or modules are loaded in that domain.

The key is to either make sure you code either derives MarshalByRefObject or is serializable.

`MarshalByRefObject will allow you to configure the lifetime of the domain its in. Example, say you want the domain to destroy if the proxy hasnt been called in 20 minutes.

I hope this helps.

Google Maps API v3 adding an InfoWindow to each marker

I had a similar problem. If all you want is for some info to be displayed when you hover over a marker, instead of clicking it, then I found that a good alternative to using an info Window was to set a title on the marker. That way whenever you hover the mouse over the marker the title displays like an ALT tag. 'marker.setTitle('Marker '+id);' It removes the need to create a listener for the marker too

Go to settings(ctrl+alt+s) ,go to gradle and add the the new gradle directory in "use local gradle distribution" "Gradle home:C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle4.4.1 ."

It Worked for me. Hope u understand.

Memcached vs. Redis?

If you don't mind a crass writing style, Redis vs Memcached on the Systoilet blog is worth a read from a usability standpoint, but be sure to read the back & forth in the comments before drawing any conclusions on performance; there are some methodological problems (single-threaded busy-loop tests), and Redis has made some improvements since the article was written as well.

And no benchmark link is complete without confusing things a bit, so also check out some conflicting benchmarks at Dormondo's LiveJournal and the Antirez Weblog.

Edit -- as Antirez points out, the Systoilet analysis is rather ill-conceived. Even beyond the single-threading shortfall, much of the performance disparity in those benchmarks can be attributed to the client libraries rather than server throughput. The benchmarks at the Antirez Weblog do indeed present a much more apples-to-apples (with the same mouth) comparison.

How do I duplicate a line or selection within Visual Studio Code?

For Linux users: I noticed what on Linux you quite an often need to use win key. For Windows combo is:

then for Linux is same just add win key:

I noticed that in a few combos now. Say ctrl + alt + L locks Linux, but ctrl + win + alt + L for Intellij formats code. Under Windows is just ctrl + alt + L to format the code.

Grid of responsive squares

You can make responsive grid of squares with verticaly and horizontaly centered content only with CSS. I will explain how in a step by step process but first here are 2 demos of what you can achieve :

Responsive 3x3 square grid Responsive square images in a 3x3 grid

Now let's see how to make these fancy responsive squares!



1. Making the responsive squares :

The trick for keeping elements square (or whatever other aspect ratio) is to use percent padding-bottom.
Side note: you can use top padding too or top/bottom margin but the background of the element won't display.

As top padding is calculated according to the width of the parent element (See MDN for reference), the height of the element will change according to its width. You can now Keep its aspect ratio according to its width.
At this point you can code :

HTML :

 <div></div>

CSS

div {
    width: 30%;
    padding-bottom: 30%; /* = width for a square aspect ratio */
}

Here is a simple layout example of 3*3 squares grid using the code above.

With this technique, you can make any other aspect ratio, here is a table giving the values of bottom padding according to the aspect ratio and a 30% width.

 Aspect ratio  |  padding-bottom  |  for 30% width
------------------------------------------------
    1:1        |  = width         |    30%
    1:2        |  width x 2       |    60%
    2:1        |  width x 0.5     |    15%
    4:3        |  width x 0.75    |    22.5%
    16:9       |  width x 0.5625  |    16.875%




2. Adding content inside the squares

As you can't add content directly inside the squares (it would expand their height and squares wouldn't be squares anymore) you need to create child elements (for this example I am using divs) inside them with position: absolute; and put the content inside them. This will take the content out of the flow and keep the size of the square.

Don't forget to add position:relative; on the parent divs so the absolute children are positioned/sized relatively to their parent.

Let's add some content to our 3x3 grid of squares :

HTML :

<div class="square">
    <div class="content">
        .. CONTENT HERE ..
    </div>
</div>
... and so on 9 times for 9 squares ...

CSS :

.square {
    float:left;
    position: relative;
    width: 30%;
    padding-bottom: 30%; /* = width for a 1:1 aspect ratio */
    margin:1.66%;
    overflow:hidden;
}

.content {
    position:absolute;
    height:80%; /* = 100% - 2*10% padding */
    width:90%; /* = 100% - 2*5% padding */
    padding: 10% 5%;
}

RESULT <-- with some formatting to make it pretty!



3.Centering the content

Horizontally :

This is pretty easy, you just need to add text-align:center to .content.
RESULT

Vertical alignment

This becomes serious! The trick is to use

display:table;
/* and */
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;

but we can't use display:table; on .square or .content divs because it conflicts with position:absolute; so we need to create two children inside .content divs. Our code will be updated as follow :

HTML :

<div class="square">
    <div class="content">
        <div class="table">
            <div class="table-cell">
                ... CONTENT HERE ...
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
... and so on 9 times for 9 squares ...

CSS :

.square {
    float:left;
    position: relative;
    width: 30%;
    padding-bottom : 30%; /* = width for a 1:1 aspect ratio */
    margin:1.66%;
    overflow:hidden;
}

.content {
    position:absolute;
    height:80%; /* = 100% - 2*10% padding */
    width:90%; /* = 100% - 2*5% padding */
    padding: 10% 5%;
}
.table{
    display:table;
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
}
.table-cell{
    display:table-cell;
    vertical-align:middle;
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
}




We have now finished and we can take a look at the result here :

How to install libusb in Ubuntu

Here is what worked for me.

Install the userspace USB programming library development files

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo updatedb && locate libusb.h

The path should appear as (or similar)

/usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h

Include the header to your C code

#include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>

Compile your C file

gcc -o example example.c -lusb-1.0

How to convert .pfx file to keystore with private key?

Your PFX file should contain the private key within it. Export the private key and certificate directly from your PFX file (e.g. using OpenSSL) and import them into your Java keystore.

Edit

Further information:

  • Download OpenSSL for Windows here.
  • Export private key: openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem
  • Export certificate: openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem
  • Import private key and certificate into Java keystore using keytool.

How Do I Insert a Byte[] Into an SQL Server VARBINARY Column

My solution would be to use a parameterised query, as the connectivity objects take care of formatting the data correctly (including ensuring the correct data-type, and escaping "dangerous" characters where applicable):

// Assuming "conn" is an open SqlConnection
using(SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO mssqltable(varbinarycolumn) VALUES (@binaryValue)", conn))
{
    // Replace 8000, below, with the correct size of the field
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@binaryValue", SqlDbType.VarBinary, 8000).Value = arraytoinsert;
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Edit: Added the wrapping "using" statement as suggested by John Saunders to correctly dispose of the SqlCommand after it is finished with

Converting a String to Object

A Java String is an Object. (String extends Object.)

So you can get an Object reference via assignment/initialisation:

String a = "abc";
Object b = a;

fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found in game programming

The two int variables are defined in the header file. This means that every source file which includes the header will contain their definition (header inclusion is purely textual). The of course leads to multiple definition errors.

You have several options to fix this.

  1. Make the variables static (static int WIDTH = 1024;). They will still exist in each source file, but their definitions will not be visible outside of the source file.

  2. Turn their definitions into declarations by using extern (extern int WIDTH;) and put the definition into one source file: int WIDTH = 1024;.

  3. Probably the best option: make the variables const (const int WIDTH = 1024;). This makes them static implicitly, and also allows them to be used as compile-time constants, allowing the compiler to use their value directly instead of issuing code to read it from the variable etc.

How do I import a specific version of a package using go get?

You can use git checkout to get an specific version and build your program using this version.

Example:

export GOPATH=~/
go get github.com/whateveruser/whateverrepo
cd ~/src/github.com/whateveruser/whateverrepo
git tag -l
# supose tag v0.0.2 is correct version
git checkout tags/v0.0.2
go run whateverpackage/main.go

SQL Update to the SUM of its joined values

This is a valid error. See this. Following (and others suggested below) are the ways to achieve this:-

UPDATE P 
SET extrasPrice = t.TotalPrice
FROM BookingPitches AS P INNER JOIN
 (
  SELECT
    PitchID,
    SUM(Price) TotalPrice
  FROM
     BookingPitchExtras
  GROUP BY PitchID
  ) t
ON t.PitchID = p.ID

You can use the ng-value directive in a hidden field as below :-

<input type="hidden" ng-value="myScopeVar = someValue"/>

This will set the value of the scope variable (myScopeVar) to "someValue"

Is a GUID unique 100% of the time?

Eric Lippert has written a very interesting series of articles about GUIDs.

There are on the order 230 personal computers in the world (and of course lots of hand-held devices or non-PC computing devices that have more or less the same levels of computing power, but lets ignore those). Let's assume that we put all those PCs in the world to the task of generating GUIDs; if each one can generate, say, 220 GUIDs per second then after only about 272 seconds -- one hundred and fifty trillion years -- you'll have a very high chance of generating a collision with your specific GUID. And the odds of collision get pretty good after only thirty trillion years.

How do I 'overwrite', rather than 'merge', a branch on another branch in Git?

The other answers gave me the right clues, but they didn't completely help.

Here's what worked for me:

$ git checkout email
$ git tag old-email-branch # This is optional
$ git reset --hard staging
$
$ # Using a custom commit message for the merge below
$ git merge -m 'Merge -s our where _ours_ is the branch staging' -s ours origin/email
$ git push origin email

Without the fourth step of merging with the ours strategy, the push is considered a non-fast-forward update and will be rejected (by GitHub).

SSRS custom number format

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

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

suppose its expression is something like below

=Fields!myField.Value

then do this

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

or

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

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

this should give you an idea.

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

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

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

UPDATE :

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

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

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

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

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

Execute action when back bar button of UINavigationController is pressed

Before leave current controller I need to show alert. So I did it this way:

  1. Add extention to UINavigationController with UINavigationBarDelegate
  2. Add selector to your controller navigationShouldPopOnBack(completion:)

It's worked)

extension UINavigationController: UINavigationBarDelegate {
    public func navigationBar(_ navigationBar: UINavigationBar, shouldPop item: UINavigationItem) -> Bool {
        if let items = navigationBar.items, viewControllers.count < items.count {
            return true
        }

        let clientInfoVC = topViewController as? ClientInfoVC
        if clientInfoVC?.responds(to: #selector(clientInfoVC?.navigationShouldPopOnBack)) ?? false {
            clientInfoVC?.navigationShouldPopOnBack(completion: { isAllowPop in
                if isAllowPop {
                    DispatchQueue.main.async {
                        self.popViewController(animated: true)
                    }
                }
            })
        }

        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.popViewController(animated: true)
        }

        return false
    }
}

@objc func navigationShouldPopOnBack(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> ()) {
        let ok = UIAlertAction(title: R.string.alert.actionOk(), style: .default) { _ in
            completion(true)
        }
        let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: R.string.alert.actionCancel(), style: .cancel) { _ in
            completion(false)
        }
        let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "", message: R.string.alert.contractMessage(), preferredStyle: .alert)
        alertController.addAction(ok)
        alertController.addAction(cancel)
        present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Flexbox not giving equal width to elements

There is an important bit that is not mentioned in the article to which you linked and that is flex-basis. By default flex-basis is auto.

From the spec:

If the specified flex-basis is auto, the used flex basis is the value of the flex item’s main size property. (This can itself be the keyword auto, which sizes the flex item based on its contents.)

Each flex item has a flex-basis which is sort of like its initial size. Then from there, any remaining free space is distributed proportionally (based on flex-grow) among the items. With auto, that basis is the contents size (or defined size with width, etc.). As a result, items with bigger text within are being given more space overall in your example.

If you want your elements to be completely even, you can set flex-basis: 0. This will set the flex basis to 0 and then any remaining space (which will be all space since all basises are 0) will be proportionally distributed based on flex-grow.

li {
    flex-grow: 1;
    flex-basis: 0;
    /* ... */
}

This diagram from the spec does a pretty good job of illustrating the point.

And here is a working example with your fiddle.

Abort trap 6 error in C

You are writing to memory you do not own:

int board[2][50]; //make an array with 3 columns  (wrong)
                  //(actually makes an array with only two 'columns')
...
for (i=0; i<num3+1; i++)
    board[2][i] = 'O';
          ^

Change this line:

int board[2][50]; //array with 2 columns (legal indices [0-1][0-49])
          ^

To:

int board[3][50]; //array with 3 columns (legal indices [0-2][0-49])
          ^

When creating an array, the value used to initialize: [3] indicates array size.
However, when accessing existing array elements, index values are zero based.

For an array created: int board[3][50];
Legal indices are board[0][0]...board[2][49]

EDIT To address bad output comment and initialization comment

add an additional "\n" for formatting output:

Change:

  ...
  for (k=0; k<50;k++) {
     printf("%d",board[j][k]);
  }
 }

       ...

To:

  ...
  for (k=0; k<50;k++) {
     printf("%d",board[j][k]);
  }
  printf("\n");//at the end of every row, print a new line
}
...  

Initialize board variable:

int board[3][50] = {0};//initialize all elements to zero

    }
}

We also have a convenience model which holds a List of TaxiInfo(s):

namespace Taxi.Models
{
    public class TaxiInfoSet
    {
        public List<TaxiInfo> TaxiInfoList { get; set; }

        public TaxiInfoSet(params TaxiInfo[] TaxiInfos)
        {
            TaxiInfoList = new List<TaxiInfo>();

            foreach(var TaxiInfo in TaxiInfos)
            {
                TaxiInfoList.Add(TaxiInfo);
            }
        }
    }
}

Now in the home controller we have the default Index action which for this example makes two taxi drivers and adds them to the list contained in a TaxiInfo:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var taxi1 = new TaxiInfo() { Fare = 20.2, Distance = 15, Driver = "Billy", StartLocation = "Perth", EndLocation = "Brisbane" };
    var taxi2 = new TaxiInfo() { Fare = 2339.2, Distance = 1500, Driver = "Smith", StartLocation = "Perth", EndLocation = "America" };

    return View(new TaxiInfoSet(taxi1,taxi2));
}

The code for the view is as follows:

@model Taxi.Models.TaxiInfoSet
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

@foreach(var TaxiInfo in Model.TaxiInfoList){
    <form>
        <h1>Cost: [email protected]</h1>
        <h2>Distance: @(TaxiInfo.Distance) km</h2>
        <p>
            Our diver, @TaxiInfo.Driver will take you from @TaxiInfo.StartLocation to @TaxiInfo.EndLocation
        </p>
        @Html.ActionLink("Home","Booking",TaxiInfo)
    </form>
}

The ActionLink is responsible for the re-directing to the booking action of the Home controller (and passing in the appropriate TaxiInfo object) which is defiend as follows:

    public ActionResult Booking(TaxiInfo Taxi)
    {
        return View(Taxi);
    }

This returns a the following view:

@model Taxi.Models.TaxiInfo

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Booking";
}

<h2>Booking For</h2>
<h1>@Model.Driver, going from @Model.StartLocation to @Model.EndLocation (a total of @Model.Distance km) for [email protected]</h1>

Is gcc's __attribute__((packed)) / #pragma pack unsafe?

It's perfectly safe as long as you always access the values through the struct via the . (dot) or -> notation.

What's not safe is taking the pointer of unaligned data and then accessing it without taking that into account.

Also, even though each item in the struct is known to be unaligned, it's known to be unaligned in a particular way, so the struct as a whole must be aligned as the compiler expects or there'll be trouble (on some platforms, or in future if a new way is invented to optimise unaligned accesses).

UIImageView - How to get the file name of the image assigned?

I have deal with this problem, I have been solved it by MVC design pattern, I created Card class:

@interface Card : NSObject

@property (strong,nonatomic) UIImage* img;

@property  (strong,nonatomic) NSString* url;

@end

//then in the UIViewController in the DidLoad Method to Do :

// init Cards
Card* card10= [[Card alloc]init];
card10.url=@"image.jpg";  
card10.img = [UIImage imageNamed:[card10 url]];

// for Example

UIImageView * myImageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:card10.img];
[self.view addSubview:myImageView];

//may you want to check the image name , so you can do this:

//for example

 NSString * str = @"image.jpg";

 if([str isEqualToString: [card10 url]]){
 // your code here
 }

Importing packages in Java

In Java you can only import class Names, or static methods/fields.

To import class use

import full.package.name.of.SomeClass;

to import static methods/fields use

import static full.package.name.of.SomeClass.staticMethod;
import static full.package.name.of.SomeClass.staticField;

How to stop java process gracefully?

Here is a bit tricky, but portable solution:

  • In your application implement a shutdown hook
  • When you want to shut down your JVM gracefully, install a Java Agent that calls System.exit() using the Attach API.

I implemented the Java Agent. It is available on Github: https://github.com/everit-org/javaagent-shutdown

Detailed description about the solution is available here: https://everitorg.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/shutting-down-a-jvm-process/

How to use a class object in C++ as a function parameter

If you want to pass class instances (objects), you either use

 void function(const MyClass& object){
   // do something with object  
 }

or

 void process(MyClass& object_to_be_changed){
   // change member variables  
 }

On the other hand if you want to "pass" the class itself

template<class AnyClass>
void function_taking_class(){
   // use static functions of AnyClass
   AnyClass::count_instances();
   // or create an object of AnyClass and use it
   AnyClass object;
   object.member = value;
}
// call it as 
function_taking_class<MyClass>();
// or 
function_taking_class<MyStruct>();

with

class MyClass{
  int member;
  //...
};
MyClass object1;

Oracle - how to remove white spaces?

SQL Plus will format the columns to hold the maximum possible value, which in this case is 255 characters.

To confirm that your output does not actually contain those extra spaces, try this:

SELECT
  '/' || TRIM(A) || '/' AS COLUMN_A
 ,'/' || TRIM(B) || '/' AS COLUMN_B
FROM
  MY_TABLE;

If the '/' characters are separated from your output, then that indicates that it's not spaces, but some other whitespace character that got in there (tabs, for example). If that is the case, then it is probably an input validation issue somewhere in your application.

However, the most likely scenario is that the '/' characters will in fact touch the rest of your strings, thus proving that the whitespace is actually trimmed.

If you wish to output them together, then the answer given by Quassnoi should do it.

If it is purely a display issue, then the answer given by Tony Andrews should work fine.

How do I set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY for specific repos only?

If you are on a Windows machine and have the Git installed, you can try the below steps:

  1. Go to the folder of Git installation, ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc
  2. Edit the file: gitconfig
  3. Under the [http] section, add the line: sslVerify = false

    [http]
      sslVerify = false
    

How to normalize a signal to zero mean and unit variance?

Printing out a linked list using toString

As has been pointed out in some other answers and comments, what you are missing here is a call to the JVM System class to print out the string generated by your toString() method.

LinkedList myLinkedList = new LinkedList();
System.out.println(myLinkedList.toString());

This will get the job done, but I wouldn't recommend doing it that way. If we take a look at the javadocs for the Object class, we find this description for toString():

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The emphasis added there is my own. You are creating a string that contains the entire state of the linked list, which somebody using your class is probably not expecting. I would recommend the following changes:

  1. Add a toString() method to your LinkedListNode class.
  2. Update the toString() method in your LinkedList class to be more concise.
  3. Add a new method called printList() to your LinkedList class that does what you are currently expecting toString() to do.

In LinkedListNode:

public String toString(){
   return "LinkedListNode with data: " + getData();
}

In LinkedList:

public int size(){
    int currentSize = 0;
    LinkedListNode current = head;
    while(current != null){
        currentSize = currentSize + 1;
        current = current.getNext();
    }

    return currentSize;
}

public String toString(){
    return "LinkedList with " + size() + "elements.";
}

public void printList(){
    System.out.println("Contents of " + toString());

    LinkedListNode current = head;
    while(current != null){
        System.out.println(current.toString());
        current = current.getNext();
    }

}

Using HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript to take in-browser screenshots

JavaScript can read the DOM and render a fairly accurate representation of that using canvas. I have been working on a script which converts HTML into a canvas image. Decided today to make an implementation of it into sending feedbacks like you described.

The script allows you to create feedback forms which include a screenshot, created on the client's browser, along with the form. The screenshot is based on the DOM and as such may not be 100% accurate to the real representation as it does not make an actual screenshot, but builds the screenshot based on the information available on the page.

It does not require any rendering from the server, as the whole image is created on the client's browser. The HTML2Canvas script itself is still in a very experimental state, as it does not parse nearly as much of the CSS3 attributes I would want it to, nor does it have any support to load CORS images even if a proxy was available.

Still quite limited browser compatibility (not because more couldn't be supported, just haven't had time to make it more cross browser supported).

For more information, have a look at the examples here:

http://hertzen.com/experiments/jsfeedback/

edit The html2canvas script is now available separately here and some examples here.

edit 2 Another confirmation that Google uses a very similar method (in fact, based on the documentation, the only major difference is their async method of traversing/drawing) can be found in this presentation by Elliott Sprehn from the Google Feedback team: http://www.elliottsprehn.com/preso/fluentconf/

The forked VM terminated without saying properly goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called

You need to check if your machine is 64 bit or 32bit. If your machine is 32 bit then your memory argument should not exceed 4096, even it should be below 4 GB. but if your machine is 64 bit then, install Java 64 bit and provide JAVA_HOME in mvn.bat which point to java 64 bit installation.

Windows batch: sleep

The Windows 2003 Resource Kit has a sleep batch file. If you ever move up to PowerShell, you can use:

Start-Sleep -s <time to sleep>

Or something like that.

Fill SVG path element with a background-image

You can do it by making the background into a pattern:

<defs>
  <pattern id="img1" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="100" height="100">
    <image href="wall.jpg" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" />
  </pattern>
</defs>

Adjust the width and height according to your image, then reference it from the path like this:

<path d="M5,50
         l0,100 l100,0 l0,-100 l-100,0
         M215,100
         a50,50 0 1 1 -100,0 50,50 0 1 1 100,0
         M265,50
         l50,100 l-100,0 l50,-100
         z"
  fill="url(#img1)" />

Working example

Getting date format m-d-Y H:i:s.u from milliseconds

The documentation says the following:

Microseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2). Note that date() will always generate 000000 since it takes an integer parameter, whereas DateTime::format() does support microseconds.

I.e., use DateTime instead.
