A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a system of computers containing copies of data placed at various nodes of a network.

Downloading jQuery UI CSS from Google's CDN

jQuery now has a CDN access:

code.jquery.com/ui/[version]/themes/[theme name]/jquery-ui.css

And to make this a little more easy, Here you go:

Purpose of installing Twitter Bootstrap through npm?

Answer 1:

  • Downloading bootstrap through npm (or bower) permits you to gain some latency time. Instead of getting a remote resource, you get a local one, it's quicker, except if you use a cdn (check below answer)

  • "npm" was originally to get Node Module, but with the essort of the Javascript language (and the advent of browserify), it has a bit grown up. In fact, you can even download AngularJS on npm, that is not a server side framework. Browserify permits you to use AMD/RequireJS/CommonJS on client side so node modules can be used on client side.

Answer 2:

If you npm install bootstrap (if you dont use a particular grunt or gulp file to move to a dist folder), your bootstrap will be located in "./node_modules/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css" if I m not wrong.

Cloudfront custom-origin distribution returns 502 "ERROR The request could not be satisfied." for some URLs

In our case, everything LOOKED ok, but it took most of the day to figure this out:

TLDR: Check your certificate paths to make sure the root certificate is correct. In the case of COMODO certificates, it should say "USERTrust" and be issued by "AddTrust External CA Root". NOT "COMODO" issued by "COMODO RSA Certification Authority".

From the CloudFront docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/SecureConnections.html

If the origin server returns an invalid certificate or a self-signed certificate, or if the origin server returns the certificate chain in the wrong order, CloudFront drops the TCP connection, returns HTTP error code 502, and sets the X-Cache header to Error from cloudfront.

We had the right ciphers enabled as per: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/RequestAndResponseBehaviorCustomOrigin.html#RequestCustomEncryption

Our certificate was valid according to Google, Firefox and ssl-checker: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html

SSL Checker result without all required certificates

However the last certificate in the ssl checker chain was "COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA", issued by "COMODO RSA Certification Authority"

It seems that CloudFront does not hold the certificate for "COMODO RSA Certification Authority" and as such thinks the certificate provided by the origin server is self signed.

This was working for a long time before apparently suddenly stopping. What happened was I had just updated our certificates for the year, but during the import, something was changed in the certificate path for all the previous certificates. They all started referencing "COMODO RSA Certification Authority" whereas before the chain was longer and the root was "AddTrust External CA Root".

Bad certificate path

Because of this, switching back to the older cert did not fix the cloudfront issue.

I had to delete the extra certificate named "COMODO RSA Certification Authority", the one that did not reference AddTrust. After doing this, all my website certificates' paths updated to point back to AddTrust/USERTrust again. Note can also open up the bad root certificate from the path, click "Details" -> "Edit Properties" and then disable it that way. This updated the path immediately. You may also need to delete multiple copies of the certificate, found under "Personal" and "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"

Good certificate path

Finally I had to re select the certificate in IIS to get it to serve the new certificate chain.

After all this, ssl-checker started displaying a third certificate in the chain, which pointed back to "AddTrust External CA Root"

SSL Checker with all certificates

Finally, CloudFront accepted the origin server's certificate and the provided chain as being trusted. Our CDN started working correctly again!

To prevent this happening in the future, we will need to export our newly generated certificates from a machine with the correct certificate chain, i.e. distrust or delete the certificate "COMODO RSA Certification Authroity" issued by "COMODO RSA Certification Authroity" (expiring in 2038). This only seems to affect windows machines, where this certificate is installed by default.

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons CDN

Although Bootstrap CDN restored glyphicons to bootstrap.min.css, Bootstrap CDN's Bootswatch css files doesn't include glyphicons.

For example Amelia theme: http://bootswatch.com/amelia/

Default Amelia has glyphicons in this file: http://bootswatch.com/amelia/bootstrap.min.css

But Bootstrap CDN's css file doesn't include glyphicons: http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.0.0/amelia/bootstrap.min.css

So as @edsioufi mentioned, you should include you should include glphicons css, if you use Bootswatch files from the bootstrap CDN. File: http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css

HTML/CSS: how to put text both right and left aligned in a paragraph

Least amount of markup possible (you only need one span):

<p>This text is left. <span>This text is right.</span></p>

How you want to achieve the left/right styles is up to you, but I would recommend an external style on an ID or a class.

The full HTML:

<p class="split-para">This text is left. <span>This text is right.</span></p>

And the CSS:

.split-para      { display:block;margin:10px;}
.split-para span { display:block;float:right;width:50%;margin-left:10px;}

Detect if a jQuery UI dialog box is open

Nick Craver's comment is the simplest to avoid the error that occurs if the dialog has not yet been defined:

if ($('#elem').is(':visible')) { 
  // do something
}

You should set visibility in your CSS first though, using simply:

#elem { display: none; }

Python Math - TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

 
lista = list.sort(lista)

This should be

lista.sort()

The .sort() method is in-place, and returns None. If you want something not in-place, which returns a value, you could use

sorted_list = sorted(lista)

Aside #1: please don't call your lists list. That clobbers the builtin list type.

Aside #2: I'm not sure what this line is meant to do:

print str("value 1a")+str(" + ")+str("value 2")+str(" = ")+str("value 3a ")+str("value 4")+str("\n")

is it simply

print "value 1a + value 2 = value 3a value 4"

? In other words, I don't know why you're calling str on things which are already str.

Aside #3: sometimes you use print("something") (Python 3 syntax) and sometimes you use print "something" (Python 2). The latter would give you a SyntaxError in py3, so you must be running 2.*, in which case you probably don't want to get in the habit or you'll wind up printing tuples, with extra parentheses. I admit that it'll work well enough here, because if there's only one element in the parentheses it's not interpreted as a tuple, but it looks strange to the pythonic eye..

The exception TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable happens because the value of lista is actually None. You can reproduce TypeError that you get in your code if you try this at the Python command line:

None[0]

The reason that lista gets set to None is because the return value of list.sort() is None... it does not return a sorted copy of the original list. Instead, as the documentation points out, the list gets sorted in-place instead of a copy being made (this is for efficiency reasons).

If you do not want to alter the original version you can use

other_list = sorted(lista)

Check if value already exists within list of dictionaries?

Following works out for me.

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    a = [{ 'main_color': 'red', 'second_color':'blue'},
    { 'main_color': 'yellow', 'second_color':'green'},
    { 'main_color': 'yellow', 'second_color':'blue'}]

    found_event = next(
            filter(
                lambda x: x['main_color'] == 'red',
                a
            ),
      #return this dict when not found
            dict(
                name='red',
                value='{}'
            )
        )

    if found_event:
        print(found_event)

    $python  /tmp/x
    {'main_color': 'red', 'second_color': 'blue'}

CodeIgniter - File upload required validation

you can solve it by overriding the Run function of CI_Form_Validation

copy this function in a class which extends CI_Form_Validation .

This function will override the parent class function . Here i added only a extra check which can handle file also

    // If not, we look to see if they were assigned via a config file
    if (count($this->_field_data) == 0) {
        // No validation rules?  We're done...
        if (count($this->_config_rules) == 0) {

Determine the number of NA values in a column

If you are looking for NA counts for each column in a dataframe then:

na_count <-sapply(x, function(y) sum(length(which(is.na(y)))))

should give you a list with the counts for each column.

na_count <- data.frame(na_count)

Should output the data nicely in a dataframe like:

----------------------
| row.names | na_count
------------------------
| column_1  | count

Allowing Java to use an untrusted certificate for SSL/HTTPS connection

Here is some relevant code:

// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
    new X509TrustManager() {
        public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
            return null;
        }
        public void checkClientTrusted(
            java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
        }
        public void checkServerTrusted(
            java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
        }
    }
};

// Install the all-trusting trust manager
try {
    SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
    sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
    HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
} catch (Exception e) {
}

// Now you can access an https URL without having the certificate in the truststore
try {
    URL url = new URL("https://hostname/index.html");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
}

This will completely disable SSL checking—just don't learn exception handling from such code!

To do what you want, you would have to implement a check in your TrustManager that prompts the user.

Using Docker-Compose, how to execute multiple commands

I recommend using sh as opposed to bash because it is more readily available on most Unix based images (alpine, etc).

Here is an example docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'

services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .
    command: >
      sh -c "python manage.py wait_for_db &&
             python manage.py migrate &&
             python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

This will call the following commands in order:

  • python manage.py wait_for_db - wait for the DB to be ready
  • python manage.py migrate - run any migrations
  • python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 - start my development server

jQuery: Handle fallback for failed AJAX Request

I believe that what you are looking for is error option for the jquery ajax object

getJSON is a wrapper to the $.ajax object, but it doesn't provide you with access to the error option.

how to set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to be considered for publishing an asp.net core application?

Other than the options mentioned above, there are a couple of other Solutions.

1. Modifying the project file (.CsProj) file

MSBuild supports the EnvironmentName Property which can help to set the right environment variable as per the Environment you wish to Deploy. The environment name would be added in the web.config during the Publish phase.

Simply open the project file (*.csProj) and add the following XML.

<!-- Custom Property Group added to add the Environment name during publish
  The EnvironmentName property is used during the publish for the Environment variable in web.config
  -->
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' Or '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">
    <EnvironmentName>Development</EnvironmentName>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' != '' AND '$(Configuration)' != 'Debug' ">
    <EnvironmentName>Production</EnvironmentName>
  </PropertyGroup>

Above code would add the environment name as Development for Debug configuration or if no configuration is specified. For any other Configuration the Environment name would be Production in the generated web.config file. More details here

2. Adding the EnvironmentName Property in the publish profiles.

We can add the <EnvironmentName> property in the publish profile as well. Open the publish profile file which is located at the Properties/PublishProfiles/{profilename.pubxml} This will set the Environment name in web.config when the project is published. More Details here

<PropertyGroup>
  <EnvironmentName>Development</EnvironmentName>
</PropertyGroup>

3. Command line options using dotnet publish

Additionaly, we can pass the property EnvironmentName as a command line option to the dotnet publish command. Following command would include the environment variable as Development in the web.config file.

dotnet publish -c Debug -r win-x64 /p:EnvironmentName=Development

How can I get the class name from a C++ object?

To get class name without mangling stuff you can use func macro in constructor:

class MyClass {
    const char* name;
    MyClass() {
        name = __func__;
    }
}

Meaning of *& and **& in C++

That's passing a pointer by reference rather than by value. This for example allows altering the pointer (not the pointed-to object) in the function is such way that the calling code sees the change.

Compare:

void nochange( int* pointer ) //passed by value
{
   pointer++; // change will be discarded once function returns
}

void change( int*& pointer ) //passed by reference
{
   pointer++; // change will persist when function returns
}

C# Pass Lambda Expression as Method Parameter

Use a Func<T1, T2, TResult> delegate as the parameter type and pass it in to your Query:

public List<IJob> getJobs(Func<FullTimeJob, Student, FullTimeJob> lambda)
{
  using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(getConnectionString())) {
    connection.Open();
    return connection.Query<FullTimeJob, Student, FullTimeJob>(sql, 
        lambda,
        splitOn: "user_id",
        param: parameters).ToList<IJob>();   
  }  
}

You would call it:

getJobs((job, student) => {         
        job.Student = student;
        job.StudentId = student.Id;
        return job;
        });

Or assign the lambda to a variable and pass it in.

When to use MongoDB or other document oriented database systems?

Like said previously, you can choose between a lot of choices, take a look at all those choices: http://kkovacs.eu/cassandra-vs-mongodb-vs-couchdb-vs-redis

What I suggest is to find your best combination: MySQL + Memcache is really great if you need ACID and you want to join some tables MongoDB + Redis is perfect for document store Neo4J is perfect for graph database

What i do: I start with MySQl + Memcache because I'm use to, then I start using others database framework. In a single project, you can combine MySQL and MongoDB for instance !

}

# Create the session and set the proxies.
s = requests.Session()
s.proxies = proxies

# Make the HTTP request through the session.
r = s.get('http://www.showmemyip.com/')

what is the basic difference between stack and queue?

Queue

Queue is a ordered collection of items.

Items are deleted at one end called ‘front’ end of the queue.

Items are inserted at other end called ‘rear’ of the queue.

The first item inserted is the first to be removed (FIFO).

Stack

Stack is a collection of items.

It allows access to only one data item: the last item inserted.

Items are inserted & deleted at one end called ‘Top of the stack’.

It is a dynamic & constantly changing object.

All the data items are put on top of the stack and taken off the top

This structure of accessing is known as Last in First out structure (LIFO)

Iterator over HashMap in Java

Iterator through keySet will give you keys. You should use entrySet if you want to iterate entries.

HashMap hm = new HashMap();

hm.put(0, "zero");
hm.put(1, "one");

Iterator iter = (Iterator) hm.entrySet().iterator();

while(iter.hasNext()) {

    Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iter.next();
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " - " + entry.getValue());

}

Where and why do I have to put the "template" and "typename" keywords?

(See here also for my C++11 answer)

In order to parse a C++ program, the compiler needs to know whether certain names are types or not. The following example demonstrates that:

t * f;

How should this be parsed? For many languages a compiler doesn't need to know the meaning of a name in order to parse and basically know what action a line of code does. In C++, the above however can yield vastly different interpretations depending on what t means. If it's a type, then it will be a declaration of a pointer f. However if it's not a type, it will be a multiplication. So the C++ Standard says at paragraph (3/7):

Some names denote types or templates. In general, whenever a name is encountered it is necessary to determine whether that name denotes one of these entities before continuing to parse the program that contains it. The process that determines this is called name lookup.

How will the compiler find out what a name t::x refers to, if t refers to a template type parameter? x could be a static int data member that could be multiplied or could equally well be a nested class or typedef that could yield to a declaration. If a name has this property - that it can't be looked up until the actual template arguments are known - then it's called a dependent name (it "depends" on the template parameters).

You might recommend to just wait till the user instantiates the template:

Let's wait until the user instantiates the template, and then later find out the real meaning of t::x * f;.

This will work and actually is allowed by the Standard as a possible implementation approach. These compilers basically copy the template's text into an internal buffer, and only when an instantiation is needed, they parse the template and possibly detect errors in the definition. But instead of bothering the template's users (poor colleagues!) with errors made by a template's author, other implementations choose to check templates early on and give errors in the definition as soon as possible, before an instantiation even takes place.

So there has to be a way to tell the compiler that certain names are types and that certain names aren't.

The "typename" keyword

The answer is: We decide how the compiler should parse this. If t::x is a dependent name, then we need to prefix it by typename to tell the compiler to parse it in a certain way. The Standard says at (14.6/2):

A name used in a template declaration or definition and that is dependent on a template-parameter is assumed not to name a type unless the applicable name lookup finds a type name or the name is qualified by the keyword typename.

There are many names for which typename is not necessary, because the compiler can, with the applicable name lookup in the template definition, figure out how to parse a construct itself - for example with T *f;, when T is a type template parameter. But for t::x * f; to be a declaration, it must be written as typename t::x *f;. If you omit the keyword and the name is taken to be a non-type, but when instantiation finds it denotes a type, the usual error messages are emitted by the compiler. Sometimes, the error consequently is given at definition time:

// t::x is taken as non-type, but as an expression the following misses an
// operator between the two names or a semicolon separating them.
t::x f;

The syntax allows typename only before qualified names - it is therefor taken as granted that unqualified names are always known to refer to types if they do so.

A similar gotcha exists for names that denote templates, as hinted at by the introductory text.

The "template" keyword

Remember the initial quote above and how the Standard requires special handling for templates as well? Let's take the following innocent-looking example: 

boost::function< int() > f;

It might look obvious to a human reader. Not so for the compiler. Imagine the following arbitrary definition of boost::function and f:

namespace boost { int function = 0; }
int main() { 
  int f = 0;
  boost::function< int() > f; 
}

That's actually a valid expression! It uses the less-than operator to compare boost::function against zero (int()), and then uses the greater-than operator to compare the resulting bool against f. However as you might well know, boost::function in real life is a template, so the compiler knows (14.2/3):

After name lookup (3.4) finds that a name is a template-name, if this name is followed by a <, the < is always taken as the beginning of a template-argument-list and never as a name followed by the less-than operator.

Now we are back to the same problem as with typename. What if we can't know yet whether the name is a template when parsing the code? We will need to insert template immediately before the template name, as specified by 14.2/4. This looks like:

t::template f<int>(); // call a function template

Template names can not only occur after a :: but also after a -> or . in a class member access. You need to insert the keyword there too:

this->template f<int>(); // call a function template

Dependencies

For the people that have thick Standardese books on their shelf and that want to know what exactly I was talking about, I'll talk a bit about how this is specified in the Standard.

In template declarations some constructs have different meanings depending on what template arguments you use to instantiate the template: Expressions may have different types or values, variables may have different types or function calls might end up calling different functions. Such constructs are generally said to depend on template parameters.

The Standard defines precisely the rules by whether a construct is dependent or not. It separates them into logically different groups: One catches types, another catches expressions. Expressions may depend by their value and/or their type. So we have, with typical examples appended:

  • Dependent types (e.g: a type template parameter T)
  • Value-dependent expressions (e.g: a non-type template parameter N)
  • Type-dependent expressions (e.g: a cast to a type template parameter (T)0)

Most of the rules are intuitive and are built up recursively: For example, a type constructed as T[N] is a dependent type if N is a value-dependent expression or T is a dependent type. The details of this can be read in section (14.6.2/1) for dependent types, (14.6.2.2) for type-dependent expressions and (14.6.2.3) for value-dependent expressions.

Dependent names

The Standard is a bit unclear about what exactly is a dependent name. On a simple read (you know, the principle of least surprise), all it defines as a dependent name is the special case for function names below. But since clearly T::x also needs to be looked up in the instantiation context, it also needs to be a dependent name (fortunately, as of mid C++14 the committee has started to look into how to fix this confusing definition).

To avoid this problem, I have resorted to a simple interpretation of the Standard text. Of all the constructs that denote dependent types or expressions, a subset of them represent names. Those names are therefore "dependent names". A name can take different forms - the Standard says:

A name is a use of an identifier (2.11), operator-function-id (13.5), conversion-function-id (12.3.2), or template-id (14.2) that denotes an entity or label (6.6.4, 6.1)

An identifier is just a plain sequence of characters / digits, while the next two are the operator + and operator type form. The last form is template-name <argument list>. All these are names, and by conventional use in the Standard, a name can also include qualifiers that say what namespace or class a name should be looked up in.

A value dependent expression 1 + N is not a name, but N is. The subset of all dependent constructs that are names is called dependent name. Function names, however, may have different meaning in different instantiations of a template, but unfortunately are not caught by this general rule.

Dependent function names

Not primarily a concern of this article, but still worth mentioning: Function names are an exception that are handled separately. An identifier function name is dependent not by itself, but by the type dependent argument expressions used in a call. In the example f((T)0), f is a dependent name. In the Standard, this is specified at (14.6.2/1).

Additional notes and examples

In enough cases we need both of typename and template. Your code should look like the following

template <typename T, typename Tail>
struct UnionNode : public Tail {
    // ...
    template<typename U> struct inUnion {
        typedef typename Tail::template inUnion<U> dummy;
    };
    // ...
};

The keyword template doesn't always have to appear in the last part of a name. It can appear in the middle before a class name that's used as a scope, like in the following example

typename t::template iterator<int>::value_type v;

In some cases, the keywords are forbidden, as detailed below

  • On the name of a dependent base class you are not allowed to write typename. It's assumed that the name given is a class type name. This is true for both names in the base-class list and the constructor initializer list:

     template <typename T>
 struct derive_from_Has_type : /* typename */ SomeBase<T>::type 
 { };

  • In using-declarations it's not possible to use template after the last ::, and the C++ committee said not to work on a solution. 

     template <typename T>
 struct derive_from_Has_type : SomeBase<T> {
    using SomeBase<T>::template type; // error
    using typename SomeBase<T>::type; // typename *is* allowed
 };

Pointer to incomplete class type is not allowed

I came accross the same problem and solved it by checking my #includes. If you use QKeyEvent you have to make sure that you also include it.

I had a class like this and my error appeared when working with "event"in the .cpp file.

myfile.h

    #include <QKeyEvent> // adding this import solved the problem.

    class MyClass : public QWidget
    {
      Q_OBJECT

    public:
      MyClass(QWidget* parent = 0);
      virtual ~QmitkHelpOverlay();
    protected:
        virtual void  keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event);
    };

Escape single quote character for use in an SQLite query

Just in case if you have a loop or a json string that need to insert in the database. Try to replace the string with a single quote . here is my solution. example if you have a string that contain's a single quote.

String mystring = "Sample's";
String myfinalstring = mystring.replace("'","''");

 String query = "INSERT INTO "+table name+" ("+field1+") values ('"+myfinalstring+"')";

this works for me in c# and java

How to add to the PYTHONPATH in Windows, so it finds my modules/packages?

The PYTHONPATH environment variable is used by Python to specify a list of directories that modules can be imported from on Windows. When running, you can inspect the sys.path variable to see which directories will be searched when you import something.

To set this variable from the Command Prompt, use: set PYTHONPATH=list;of;paths.

To set this variable from PowerShell, use: $env:PYTHONPATH=’list;of;paths’ just before you launch Python.

Setting this variable globally through the Environment Variables settings is not recommended, as it may be used by any version of Python instead of the one that you intend to use. Read more in the Python on Windows FAQ docs.

What are the best practices for SQLite on Android?

Inserts, updates, deletes and reads are generally OK from multiple threads, but Brad's answer is not correct. You have to be careful with how you create your connections and use them. There are situations where your update calls will fail, even if your database doesn't get corrupted.

The basic answer.

The SqliteOpenHelper object holds on to one database connection. It appears to offer you a read and write connection, but it really doesn't. Call the read-only, and you'll get the write database connection regardless.

So, one helper instance, one db connection. Even if you use it from multiple threads, one connection at a time. The SqliteDatabase object uses java locks to keep access serialized. So, if 100 threads have one db instance, calls to the actual on-disk database are serialized.

So, one helper, one db connection, which is serialized in java code. One thread, 1000 threads, if you use one helper instance shared between them, all of your db access code is serial. And life is good (ish).

If you try to write to the database from actual distinct connections at the same time, one will fail. It will not wait till the first is done and then write. It will simply not write your change. Worse, if you don’t call the right version of insert/update on the SQLiteDatabase, you won’t get an exception. You’ll just get a message in your LogCat, and that will be it.

So, multiple threads? Use one helper. Period. If you KNOW only one thread will be writing, you MAY be able to use multiple connections, and your reads will be faster, but buyer beware. I haven't tested that much.

Here's a blog post with far more detail and an example app.

Gray and I are actually wrapping up an ORM tool, based off of his Ormlite, that works natively with Android database implementations, and follows the safe creation/calling structure I describe in the blog post. That should be out very soon. Take a look.

How to create a new database after initally installing oracle database 11g Express Edition?

This link: Creating the Sample Database in Oracle 11g Release 2 is a good example of creating a sample database.

This link: Newbie Guide to Oracle 11g Database Common Problems should help you if you come across some common problems creating your database.

Best of luck!

EDIT: As you are using XE, you should have a DB already created, to connect using SQL*Plus and SQL Developer etc. the info is here: Connecting to Oracle Database Express Edition and Exploring It.

Extract:

Connecting to Oracle Database XE from SQL Developer SQL Developer is a client program with which you can access Oracle Database XE. With Oracle Database XE 11g Release 2 (11.2), you must use SQL Developer version 3.0. This section assumes that SQL Developer is installed on your system, and shows how to start it and connect to Oracle Database XE. If SQL Developer is not installed on your system, see Oracle Database SQL Developer User's Guide for installation instructions.

Note:

For the following procedure: The first time you start SQL Developer on your system, you must provide the full path to java.exe in step 1.

For step 4, you need a user name and password.

For step 6, you need a host name and port.

To connect to Oracle Database XE from SQL Developer:

Start SQL Developer.

For instructions, see Oracle Database SQL Developer User's Guide.

If this is the first time you have started SQL Developer on your system, you are prompted to enter the full path to java.exe (for example, C:\jdk1.5.0\bin\java.exe). Either type the full path after the prompt or browse to it, and then press the key Enter.

The Oracle SQL Developer window opens.

In the navigation frame of the window, click Connections.

The Connections pane appears.

In the Connections pane, click the icon New Connection.

The New/Select Database Connection window opens.

In the New/Select Database Connection window, type the appropriate values in the fields Connection Name, Username, and Password.

For security, the password characters that you type appear as asterisks.

Near the Password field is the check box Save Password. By default, it is deselected. Oracle recommends accepting the default.

In the New/Select Database Connection window, click the tab Oracle.

The Oracle pane appears.

In the Oracle pane:

For Connection Type, accept the default (Basic).

For Role, accept the default.

In the fields Hostname and Port, either accept the defaults or type the appropriate values.

Select the option SID.

In the SID field, type accept the default (xe).

In the New/Select Database Connection window, click the button Test.

The connection is tested. If the connection succeeds, the Status indicator changes from blank to Success.

Description of the illustration success.gif

If the test succeeded, click the button Connect.

The New/Select Database Connection window closes. The Connections pane shows the connection whose name you entered in the Connection Name field in step 4.

You are in the SQL Developer environment.

To exit SQL Developer, select Exit from the File menu.

How do I find the current directory of a batch file, and then use it for the path?

ElektroStudios answer is a bit misleading.

"when you launch a bat file the working dir is the dir where it was launched" This is true if the user clicks on the batch file in the explorer.

However, if the script is called from another script using the CALL command, the current working directory does not change.

Thus, inside your script, it is better to use %~dp0subfolder\file1.txt

Please also note that %~dp0 will end with a backslash when the current script is not in the current working directory. Thus, if you need the directory name without a trailing backslash, you could use something like

call :GET_THIS_DIR
echo I am here: %THIS_DIR%
goto :EOF

:GET_THIS_DIR
pushd %~dp0
set THIS_DIR=%CD%
popd
goto :EOF

What is the difference between signed and unsigned int

As you are probably aware, ints are stored internally in binary. Typically an int contains 32 bits, but in some environments might contain 16 or 64 bits (or even a different number, usually but not necessarily a power of two).

But for this example, let's look at 4-bit integers. Tiny, but useful for illustration purposes.

Since there are four bits in such an integer, it can assume one of 16 values; 16 is two to the fourth power, or 2 times 2 times 2 times 2. What are those values? The answer depends on whether this integer is a signed int or an unsigned int. With an unsigned int, the value is never negative; there is no sign associated with the value. Here are the 16 possible values of a four-bit unsigned int:

bits  value
0000    0
0001    1
0010    2
0011    3
0100    4
0101    5
0110    6
0111    7
1000    8
1001    9
1010   10
1011   11
1100   12
1101   13
1110   14
1111   15

... and Here are the 16 possible values of a four-bit signed int:

bits  value
0000    0
0001    1
0010    2
0011    3
0100    4
0101    5
0110    6
0111    7
1000   -8
1001   -7
1010   -6
1011   -5
1100   -4
1101   -3
1110   -2
1111   -1

As you can see, for signed ints the most significant bit is 1 if and only if the number is negative. That is why, for signed ints, this bit is known as the "sign bit".

Yes. In iPhone/iPad development the Default.png file is displayed by the device automatically so you don't have to program it which is really useful. I don't have it with me, but you need different PNGs for the iPad with specific names. I googled iPad default png and got this info from the phunkwerks site:

iPad Launch Image Orientations

To deal with various orientation options, a new naming convention has been created for iPad launch images. The screen size of the iPad is 768×1024, notice in the dimensions that follow the height takes into account a 20 pixel status bar.

Filename Dimensions

  • Default-Portrait.png * — 768w x 1024h
  • Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png — 768w x 1024h
  • Default-Landscape.png ** — 1024w x 748h
  • Default-LandscapeLeft.png — 1024w x 748h
  • Default-LandscapeRight.png — 1024w x 748h
  • iPad-Retina–Portrait.png — 1536w x 2048h
  • iPad-Retina–Landscape.png — 2048w x 1496h
  • Default.png — Not recommended

*—If you have not specified a Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png file, this file will take precedence.

**—If you have not specified a Default-LandscapeLeft.png or Default-LandscapeRight.png image file, this file will take precedence.

This link to "Apple's Developer Library" is useful, too.

Change value of input and submit form in JavaScript

Here is simple code. You must set an id for your input. Here call it 'myInput':

var myform = document.getElementById('myform');
myform.onsubmit = function(){
    document.getElementById('myInput').value = '1';
    myform.submit();
};

Filtering Pandas Dataframe using OR statement

From the docs:

Another common operation is the use of boolean vectors to filter the data. The operators are: | for or, & for and, and ~ for not. These must be grouped by using parentheses.

Try:

alldata_balance = alldata[(alldata[IBRD] !=0) | (alldata[IMF] !=0)]

Eclipse executable launcher error: Unable to locate companion shared library

Another problem (that I ran into) is that Cygwin's unzip utility (UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Cygwin. Original by Info-ZIP.) does not always correctly unzip everything needed for Eclipse to actually run.

Using 7ZIP v9.20 got Eclipse Indigo (3.7.2) up and running for me on Win7 64bit with 32bit JVM and 32bit Eclipse.

(First time I've ever had Cygwin's unzip fail on me...)

Capturing TAB key in text box

Even if you capture the keydown/keyup event, those are the only events that the tab key fires, you still need some way to prevent the default action, moving to the next item in the tab order, from occurring.

In Firefox you can call the preventDefault() method on the event object passed to your event handler. In IE, you have to return false from the event handle. The JQuery library provides a preventDefault method on its event object that works in IE and FF.

<body>
<input type="text" id="myInput">
<script type="text/javascript">
    var myInput = document.getElementById("myInput");
    if(myInput.addEventListener ) {
        myInput.addEventListener('keydown',this.keyHandler,false);
    } else if(myInput.attachEvent ) {
        myInput.attachEvent('onkeydown',this.keyHandler); /* damn IE hack */
    }

    function keyHandler(e) {
        var TABKEY = 9;
        if(e.keyCode == TABKEY) {
            this.value += "    ";
            if(e.preventDefault) {
                e.preventDefault();
            }
            return false;
        }
    }
</script>

Android Whatsapp/Chat Examples

If you are looking to create an instant messenger for Android, this code should get you started somewhere.

Excerpt from the source :

This is a simple IM application runs on Android, application makes http request to a server, implemented in php and mysql, to authenticate, to register and to get the other friends' status and data, then it communicates with other applications in other devices by socket interface.

EDIT : Just found this! Maybe it's not related to WhatsApp. But you can use the source to understand how chat applications are programmed.

There is a website called Scringo. These awesome people provide their own SDK which you can integrate in your existing application to exploit cool features like radaring, chatting, feedback, etc. So if you are looking to integrate chat in application, you could just use their SDK. And did I say the best part? It's free!

*UPDATE : * Scringo services will be closed down on 15 February, 2015.

How to get folder path from file path with CMD

I had same problem in my loop where i wanted to extract zip files in the same directory and then delete the zip file. The problem was that 7z requires the output folder, so i had to obtain the folder path of each file. Here is my solution: 

FOR /F "usebackq tokens=1" %%i IN (`DIR /S/B *.zip` ) DO (
  7z.exe x %%i -aoa -o%%i\..
)

%%i was a full filename path and %ii\.. simply returns the parent folder.

hope it helps.

What is the "-->" operator in C/C++?

Actually, x is post-decrementing and with that condition is being checked. It's not -->, it's (x--) > 0

Note: value of x is changed after the condition is checked, because it post-decrementing. Some similar cases can also occur, for example:

-->    x-->0
++>    x++>0
-->=   x-->=0
++>=   x++>=0

How to get to Model or Viewbag Variables in a Script Tag

What you have should work. It depends on the type of data you are setting i.e. if it's a string value you need to make sure it's in quotes e.g.

var val = '@ViewBag.ForSection';

If it's an integer you need to parse it as one i.e.

var val = parseInt(@ViewBag.ForSection);

Installing Java on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

This error means Java is not properly installed .

1) brew cask install java (No need to install cask separately it comes with brew)

2) java -version

java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)

P.S - What is brew-cask ? Homebrew-Cask extends Homebrew , and solves the hassle of executing an extra command - “To install, drag this icon…” after installing a Application using Homebrew.

N.B - This problem is not specific to Mavericks , you will get it almost all the OS X, including EL Capitan.

denied: requested access to the resource is denied : docker

My answer is related to Azure DevOps similar issues I had with the following common pipeline (it is more specific but it might help somebody save time):

  1. Get sources from github
  2. Build docker image
  3. Push docker image to dockerhub

The error I received at push denied: requested access to the resource is denied sent me here.

Please be careful of the variable $(Build.Repository.Name) included in your image name. It is by default the name of the repository from github, but for your push to work it should be dockerhub_account_username/your_dockerhub_repository_name.

Replace $(Build.Repository.Name) with dockerhub_account_username/your_dockerhub_repository_name in your image name field for both build and push steps.

This is needed by the dockerhub api to know where to push the image.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException on working app

You may need to check your proguard.cfg.

Assuming you have linked your libraries properly and that your library projects have the code you need marked for export, the next step you might want to do is to check your proguard settings and make sure you are not stripping out the classes you need.

I was struggling with this quite a bit after I had my app working going directly to the emulator or device from eclipse. The problem I was having was after the app was published (i.e. gone through proguard) and run on the device it was missing classes that were contained in the project. They were being stripped out somehow.

My problem may have been caused when I had tried to use IntelliJ and have switched back to eclipse.

Here is the proguard file that worked for me:

-optimizationpasses 5
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify

How can I output leading zeros in Ruby?

As stated by the other answers, "%03d" % number works pretty well, but it goes against the rubocop ruby style guide:

Favor the use of sprintf and its alias format over the fairly cryptic String#% method

We can obtain the same result in a more readable way using the following:

format('%03d', number)

check if array is empty (vba excel)

Adding into this: it depends on what your array is defined as. Consider:

dim a() as integer
dim b() as string
dim c() as variant

'these doesn't work
if isempty(a) then msgbox "integer arrays can be empty"
if isempty(b) then msgbox "string arrays can be empty"

'this is because isempty can only be tested on classes which have an .empty property

'this do work
if isempty(c) then msgbox "variants can be empty"

So, what can we do? In VBA, we can see if we can trigger an error and somehow handle it, for example

dim a() as integer
dim bEmpty as boolean

bempty=false

on error resume next
bempty=not isnumeric(ubound(a))
on error goto 0

But this is really clumsy... A nicer solution is to declare a boolean variable (a public or module level is best). When the array is first initialised, then set this variable. Because it's a variable declared at the same time, if it loses it's value, then you know that you need to reinitialise your array. However, if it is initialised, then all you're doing is checking the value of a boolean, which is low cost. It depends on whether being low cost matters, and if you're going to be needing to check it often.

option explicit

'declared at module level
dim a() as integer
dim aInitialised as boolean

sub DoSomethingWithA()
if not aInitialised then InitialiseA
'you can now proceed confident that a() is intialised
end sub

sub InitialiseA()
'insert code to do whatever is required to initialise A
'e.g. 
redim a(10)
a(1)=123
'...
aInitialised=true
end sub

The last thing you can do is create a function; which in this case will need to be dependent on the clumsy on error method.

function isInitialised(byref a() as variant) as boolean
isInitialised=false
on error resume next
isinitialised=isnumeric(ubound(a))
end function

    'days' => 'd',
    'hours' => 'h',

    $d = $interval->format('%' . $v);
    if ($d > 0) {
        $diffArr[] = $d . ' ' . $k;
    }
}    
$diffStr = implode(', ', $diffArr);
echo 'Difference: ' . ($diffStr == '' ? '0' : $diffStr) . PHP_EOL;

Time complexity of accessing a Python dict

My program seems to suffer from linear access to dictionaries, its run-time grows exponentially even though the algorithm is quadratic.

I use a dictionary to memoize values. That seems to be a bottleneck.

This is evidence of a bug in your memoization method.

jQuery: Get height of hidden element in jQuery

Building further on Nick's answer:

$("#myDiv").css({'position':'absolute','visibility':'hidden', 'display':'block'});
optionHeight = $("#myDiv").height();
$("#myDiv").css({'position':'static','visibility':'visible', 'display':'none'});

I found it's better to do this:

$("#myDiv").css({'position':'absolute','visibility':'hidden', 'display':'block'});
optionHeight = $("#myDiv").height();
$("#myDiv").removeAttr('style');

Setting CSS attributes will insert them inline, which will overwrite any other attributes you have in your CSS file. By removing the style attribute on the HTML element, everything is back to normal and still hidden, since it was hidden in the first place.

Segmentation Fault - C

s is an uninitialized pointer; you are writing to a random location in memory. This will invoke undefined behaviour.

You need to allocate some memory for s. Also, never use gets; there is no way to prevent it overflowing the memory you allocate. Use fgets instead.

Example to use shared_ptr?

The boost documentation provides a pretty good start example: shared_ptr example (it's actually about a vector of smart pointers) or shared_ptr doc The following answer by Johannes Schaub explains the boost smart pointers pretty well: smart pointers explained

The idea behind(in as few words as possible) ptr_vector is that it handles the deallocation of memory behind the stored pointers for you: let's say you have a vector of pointers as in your example. When quitting the application or leaving the scope in which the vector is defined you'll have to clean up after yourself(you've dynamically allocated ANDgate and ORgate) but just clearing the vector won't do it because the vector is storing the pointers and not the actual objects(it won't destroy but what it contains).

 // if you just do
 G.clear() // will clear the vector but you'll be left with 2 memory leaks
 ...
// to properly clean the vector and the objects behind it
for (std::vector<gate*>::iterator it = G.begin(); it != G.end(); it++)
{
  delete (*it);
}

boost::ptr_vector<> will handle the above for you - meaning it will deallocate the memory behind the pointers it stores.

How do I debug Windows services in Visual Studio?

Given that ServiceBase.OnStart has protected visibility, I went down the reflection route to achieve the debugging.

private static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var serviceBases = new ServiceBase[] {new Service() /* ... */ };

#if DEBUG
    if (Environment.UserInteractive)
    {
        const BindingFlags bindingFlags =
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic;

        foreach (var serviceBase in serviceBases)
        {
            var serviceType = serviceBase.GetType();
            var methodInfo = serviceType.GetMethod("OnStart", bindingFlags);

            new Thread(service => methodInfo.Invoke(service, new object[] {args})).Start(serviceBase);
        }

        return;
    }
#endif

    ServiceBase.Run(serviceBases);
}

Note that Thread is, by default, a foreground thread. returning from Main while the faux-service threads are running won't terminate the process.

Append an array to another array in JavaScript

If you want to modify the original array instead of returning a new array, use .push()...

array1.push.apply(array1, array2);
array1.push.apply(array1, array3);

I used .apply to push the individual members of arrays 2 and 3 at once.

or...

array1.push.apply(array1, array2.concat(array3));

To deal with large arrays, you can do this in batches.

for (var n = 0, to_add = array2.concat(array3); n < to_add.length; n+=300) {
    array1.push.apply(array1, to_add.slice(n, n+300));
}

If you do this a lot, create a method or function to handle it.

var push_apply = Function.apply.bind([].push);
var slice_call = Function.call.bind([].slice);

Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "pushArrayMembers", {
    value: function() {
        for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
            var to_add = arguments[i];
            for (var n = 0; n < to_add.length; n+=300) {
                push_apply(this, slice_call(to_add, n, n+300));
            }
        }
    }
});

and use it like this:

array1.pushArrayMembers(array2, array3);

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
var push_apply = Function.apply.bind([].push);_x000D_

            var to_add = arguments[i];_x000D_
            for (var n = 0; n < to_add.length; n+=300) {_x000D_
                push_apply(this, slice_call(to_add, n, n+300));_x000D_
            }_x000D_
        }_x000D_
    }_x000D_
});_x000D_

var array2 = ['d','e','f'];_x000D_

Delaying AngularJS route change until model loaded to prevent flicker

Here's a minimal working example which works for Angular 1.0.2

Template:

<script type="text/ng-template" id="/editor-tpl.html">
    Editor Template {{datasets}}
</script>

<div ng-view>

</div>

JavaScript:

function MyCtrl($scope, datasets) {    
    $scope.datasets = datasets;
}

MyCtrl.resolve = {
    datasets : function($q, $http) {
        var deferred = $q.defer();

        $http({method: 'GET', url: '/someUrl'})
            .success(function(data) {
                deferred.resolve(data)
            })
            .error(function(data){
                //actually you'd want deffered.reject(data) here
                //but to show what would happen on success..
                deferred.resolve("error value");
            });

        return deferred.promise;
    }
};

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [], function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.when('/', {
        templateUrl: '/editor-tpl.html',
        controller: MyCtrl,
        resolve: MyCtrl.resolve
    });
});?
?

http://jsfiddle.net/dTJ9N/3/

Streamlined version:

Since $http() already returns a promise (aka deferred), we actually don't need to create our own. So we can simplify MyCtrl. resolve to:

MyCtrl.resolve = {
    datasets : function($http) {
        return $http({
            method: 'GET', 
            url: 'http://fiddle.jshell.net/'
        });
    }
};

The result of $http() contains data, status, headers and config objects, so we need to change the body of MyCtrl to:

$scope.datasets = datasets.data;

How do I exclude all instances of a transitive dependency when using Gradle?

Ah, the following works and does what I want:

configurations {
  runtime.exclude group: "org.slf4j", module: "slf4j-log4j12"
}

It seems that an Exclude Rule only has two attributes - group and module. However, the above syntax doesn't prevent you from specifying any arbitrary property as a predicate. When trying to exclude from an individual dependency you cannot specify arbitrary properties. For example, this fails:

dependencies {
  compile ('org.springframework.data:spring-data-hadoop-core:2.0.0.M4-hadoop22') {
    exclude group: "org.slf4j", name: "slf4j-log4j12"
  }
}

with

No such property: name for class: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.DefaultExcludeRule

So even though you can specify a dependency with a group: and name: you can't specify an exclusion with a name:!?!

Perhaps a separate question, but what exactly is a module then? I can understand the Maven notion of groupId:artifactId:version, which I understand translates to group:name:version in Gradle. But then, how do I know what module (in gradle-speak) a particular Maven artifact belongs to?

Node Version Manager install - nvm command not found

If you are using OS X, you might have to create your .bash_profile file before running the installation command. That did it for me.

Java: Calling a super method which calls an overridden method

The keyword super doesn't "stick". Every method call is handled individually, so even if you got to SuperClass.method1() by calling super, that doesn't influence any other method call that you might make in the future.

That means there is no direct way to call SuperClass.method2() from SuperClass.method1() without going though SubClass.method2() unless you're working with an actual instance of SuperClass.

You can't even achieve the desired effect using Reflection (see the documentation of java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Object, Object...)).

[EDIT] There still seems to be some confusion. Let me try a different explanation.

When you invoke foo(), you actually invoke this.foo(). Java simply lets you omit the this. In the example in the question, the type of this is SubClass.

So when Java executes the code in SuperClass.method1(), it eventually arrives at this.method2();

Using super doesn't change the instance pointed to by this. So the call goes to SubClass.method2() since this is of type SubClass.

Maybe it's easier to understand when you imagine that Java passes this as a hidden first parameter:

public class SuperClass
{
    public void method1(SuperClass this)
    {
        System.out.println("superclass method1");
        this.method2(this); // <--- this == mSubClass
    }

    public void method2(SuperClass this)
    {
        System.out.println("superclass method2");
    }

}

public class SubClass extends SuperClass
{
    @Override

If you follow the call stack, you can see that this never changes, it's always the instance created in main().

How to change the minSdkVersion of a project?

If you use a cordova to build your app, for me the best soluction is change the argument cdvMinSdkVersion=15 to cdvMinSdkVersion=19 in the file platforms\android\gradle.properties

Compare two different files line by line in python

If order is preserved between files you might also prefer difflib. Although Rob?'s result is the bona-fide standard for intersections you might actually be looking for a rough diff-like:

from difflib import Differ

with open('cfg1.txt') as f1, open('cfg2.txt') as f2:
    differ = Differ()

    for line in differ.compare(f1.readlines(), f2.readlines()):
        if line.startswith(" "):
            print(line[2:], end="")

That said, this has a different behaviour to what you asked for (order is important) even though in this instance the same output is produced.

Find duplicate records in MySQL

I tried the best answer chosen for this question, but it confused me somewhat. I actually needed that just on a single field from my table. The following example from this link worked out very well for me:

SELECT COUNT(*) c,title FROM `data` GROUP BY title HAVING c > 1;

Error message "unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown"

 
void showfile() throws java.io.IOException  <-----

Your showfile() method throws IOException, so whenever you use it you have to either catch that exception or again thorw it. Something like:

try {
  showfile();
}
catch(IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

You should learn about exceptions in Java.

How to handle the `onKeyPress` event in ReactJS?

Keypress event is deprecated, You should use Keydown event instead.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/keypress_event

handleKeyDown(event) {
    if(event.keyCode === 13) { 
        console.log('Enter key pressed')
  }
}

render() { 
    return <input type="text" onKeyDown={this.handleKeyDown} /> 
}

How do I define a method which takes a lambda as a parameter in Java 8?

You can use functional interfaces as mentioned above. below are some of the examples

Function<Integer, Integer> f1 = num->(num*2+1);
System.out.println(f1.apply(10));

Predicate<Integer> f2= num->(num > 10);
System.out.println(f2.test(10));
System.out.println(f2.test(11));

Supplier<Integer> f3= ()-> 100;
System.out.println(f3.get());

Hope it helps

Set today's date as default date in jQuery UI datepicker

This one work for me , first you bind datepicker to text-box and in next line set (today as default date) the date to it 

$("#date").datepicker();

$("#date").datepicker("setDate", new Date());

How do I replace a character at a particular index in JavaScript?

The methods on here are complicated. I would do it this way:

var myString = "this is my string";
myString = myString.replace(myString.charAt(number goes here), "insert replacement here");

This is as simple as it gets.

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

For some time now I've been thinking about near-compile-time constraints, so this is a perfect opportunity to launch the concept.

The basic idea is that if you cannot do a check compile time, you should do it at the earliest possible point in time, which is basically the moment the application starts. If all checks are okay, the application will run; if a check fails, the application will fail instantly.

Behavior

The best possible outcome is that our program doesn't compile if the constraints are not met. Unfortunately that's not possible in the current C# implementation.

Next best thing is that the program crashes the moment it's started.

The last option is that the program will crash the moment the code is hit. This is the default behavior of .NET. For me, this is completely unacceptable.

Prerequirements

We need to have a constraint mechanism, so for the lack of anything better... let's use an attribute. The attribute will be present on top of a generic constraint to check if it matches our conditions. If it doesn't, we give an ugly error.

This enables us to do things like this in our code:

public class Clas<[IsInterface] T> where T : class

(I've kept the where T:class here, because I always prefer compile-time checks to run-time checks)

So, that only leaves us with 1 problem, which is checking if all the types that we use match the constraint. How hard can it be?

Let's break it up

Generic types are always either on a class (/struct/interface) or on a method.

Triggering a constraint requires you to do one of the following things:

  1. Compile-time, when using a type in a type (inheritance, generic constraint, class member)
  2. Compile-time, when using a type in a method body
  3. Run-time, when using reflection to construct something based on the generic base class.
  4. Run-time, when using reflection to construct something based on RTTI.

At this point, I would like to state that you should always avoid doing (4) in any program IMO. Regardless, these checks won't support it, since it would effectively mean solving the halting problem.

Case 1: using a type

Example:

public class TestClass : SomeClass<IMyInterface> { ... }

Example 2:

public class TestClass 
{ 
    SomeClass<IMyInterface> myMember; // or a property, method, etc.
}

Basically this involves scanning all types, inheritance, members, parameters, etc, etc, etc. If a type is a generic type and has a constraint, we check the constraint; if it's an array, we check the element type.

At this point I must add that this will break the fact that by default .NET loads types 'lazy'. By scanning all the types, we force the .NET runtime to load them all. For most programs this shouldn't be a problem; still, if you use static initializers in your code, you might encounter problems with this approach... That said, I wouldn't advice anyone to do this anyways (except for things like this :-), so it shouldn't give you a lot of problems.

Case 2: using a type in a method

Example:

void Test() {
    new SomeClass<ISomeInterface>();
}

To check this we have only 1 option: decompile the class, check all member tokens that are used and if one of them is the generic type - check the arguments.

Case 3: Reflection, runtime generic construction

Example:

typeof(CtorTest<>).MakeGenericType(typeof(IMyInterface))

I suppose it's theoretically possible to check this with similar tricks as case (2), but the implementation of it is much harder (you need to check if MakeGenericType is called in some code path). I won't go into details here...

Case 4: Reflection, runtime RTTI

Example:

Type t = Type.GetType("CtorTest`1[IMyInterface]");

This is the worst case scenario and as I explained before generally a bad idea IMHO. Either way, there's no practical way to figure this out using checks.

Testing the lot

Creating a program that tests case (1) and (2) will result in something like this:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.GenericParameter)]
public class IsInterface : ConstraintAttribute
{
    public override bool Check(Type genericType)
    {
        return genericType.IsInterface;
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return "Generic type is not an interface";
    }
}

public abstract class ConstraintAttribute : Attribute
{
    public ConstraintAttribute() {}

    public abstract bool Check(Type generic);
}

What is Shelving in TFS?

@JaredPar: Yes you can use Shelvesets for reviews but keep in mind that shelvesets can be overwritten by yourself/others and therefore are not long term stable. Therefore for regulatory relevant reviews you should never use a Shelveset as base but rather a checkin (Changeset). For an informal review it is ok but not for a formal (E.g. FTA relevant) review!

How to set headers in http get request?

Pay attention that in http.Request header "Host" can not be set via Set method

req.Header.Set("Host", "domain.tld")

but can be set directly:

req.Host = "domain.tld":

req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://10.0.0.1/", nil)
if err != nil {
    ...
}

req.Host = "domain.tld"
client := &http.Client{}
resp, err := client.Do(req)

how to determine size of tablespace oracle 11g

The following query can be used to detemine tablespace and other params:

select df.tablespace_name "Tablespace",
       totalusedspace "Used MB",
       (df.totalspace - tu.totalusedspace) "Free MB",
       df.totalspace "Total MB",
       round(100 * ( (df.totalspace - tu.totalusedspace)/ df.totalspace)) "Pct. Free"
  from (select tablespace_name,
               round(sum(bytes) / 1048576) TotalSpace
          from dba_data_files 
         group by tablespace_name) df,
       (select round(sum(bytes)/(1024*1024)) totalusedspace,
               tablespace_name
          from dba_segments 
         group by tablespace_name) tu
 where df.tablespace_name = tu.tablespace_name 
   and df.totalspace <> 0;

Source: https://community.oracle.com/message/1832920

For your case if you want to know the partition name and it's size just run this query:

select owner,
       segment_name,
       partition_name,
       segment_type,
       bytes / 1024/1024 "MB" 
  from dba_segments 
 where owner = <owner_name>;

What are Keycloak's OAuth2 / OpenID Connect endpoints?

Unbalanced calls to begin/end appearance transitions for <UITabBarController: 0x197870>

I had this problem because of a typo:

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)

instead of 

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

It was calling "WillAppear" in the super instead of "DidAppear"

Corrupted Access .accdb file: "Unrecognized Database Format"

Sometimes it might depend on whether you are using code to access the database or not. If you are using "DriverJet" in your code instead of "DriverACE" (or an older version of the DAO library) such a problem is highly probable to happen. You just need to replace "DriverJet" with "DriverACE" and test.

Android translate animation - permanently move View to new position using AnimationListener

Just Do like this

view.animate()
            .translationY(-((root.height - (view.height)) / 2).toFloat())
            .setInterpolator(AccelerateInterpolator()).duration = 1500

Here, view is your View which is animating from its origin position. root is root View of your XML file.

Calculation inside translationY is made for moving your view to the top but keeping it inside the screen, otherwise, it will go partially outside of the screen if you keep its value 0.

Bash if statement with multiple conditions throws an error

You can use either [[ or (( keyword. When you use [[ keyword, you have to use string operators such as -eq, -lt. I think, (( is most preferred for arithmetic, because you can directly use operators such as ==, < and >.

Using [[ operator

a=$1
b=$2
if [[ a -eq 1 || b -eq 2 ]] || [[ a -eq 3 && b -eq 4 ]]
then
     echo "Error"
else
     echo "No Error"
fi

Using (( operator

a=$1
b=$2
if (( a == 1 || b == 2 )) || (( a == 3 && b == 4 ))
then
     echo "Error"
else
     echo "No Error"
fi

Do not use -a or -o operators Since it is not Portable.

git stash changes apply to new branch?

Is the standard procedure not working?

  • make changes

  • git stash
  • git checkout -b xxx
  • git stash pop

How do servlets work? Instantiation, sessions, shared variables and multithreading

As is clear from above explanations, by implementing the SingleThreadModel, a servlet can be assured thread-safety by the servlet container. The container implementation can do this in 2 ways:

1) Serializing requests (queuing) to a single instance - this is similar to a servlet NOT implementing SingleThreadModel BUT synchronizing the service/ doXXX methods; OR

2) Creating a pool of instances - which's a better option and a trade-off between the boot-up/initialization effort/time of the servlet as against the restrictive parameters (memory/ CPU time) of the environment hosting the servlet.

Is it wrong to place the <script> tag after the </body> tag?

As Andy said the document will be not valid, but nevertheless the script will still be interpreted. See the snippet from WebKit for example: 

void HTMLParser::processCloseTag(Token* t)
{
    // Support for really broken html.
    // we never close the body tag, since some stupid web pages close it before 
    // the actual end of the doc.
    // let's rely on the end() call to close things.
    if (t->tagName == htmlTag || t->tagName == bodyTag 
                              || t->tagName == commentAtom)
        return;
    ...

Can't access to HttpContext.Current

Adding a bit to mitigate the confusion here. Even though Darren Davies' (accepted) answer is more straight forward, I think Andrei's answer is a better approach for MVC applications.

The answer from Andrei means that you can use HttpContext just as you would use System.Web.HttpContext.Current. For example, if you want to do this:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

you should instead do this:

HttpContext.User.Identity.Name

Both achieve the same result, but (again) in terms of MVC, the latter is more recommended.

Another good and also straight forward information regarding this matter can be found here: Difference between HttpContext.Current and Controller.Context in MVC ASP.NET.

Set a Fixed div to 100% width of the parent container

Remove Padding: 10%; or use px instead of percent for .wrap

see the example : http://jsfiddle.net/C93mk/493/

HTML :

<div id="wrapper">
    <div id="wrap">
    Some relative item placed item
    <div id="fixed"></div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

body{ height:20000px }
#wrapper {padding:10%;}
#wrap{ 
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    width: 200px; 
    background:#ccc; 
}
#fixed{ 
    position:fixed;
    width:inherit;
    padding:0px;
    height:10px;
    background-color:#333;

Find a string by searching all tables in SQL Server Management Studio 2008

A bit late, but you can easily find a string with this query

DECLARE
@search_string  VARCHAR(100),
@table_name     SYSNAME,
@table_id       INT,
@column_name    SYSNAME,
@sql_string     VARCHAR(2000)

SET @search_string = 'StringtoSearch'

DECLARE tables_cur CURSOR FOR SELECT ss.name +'.'+ so.name [name], object_id FROM sys.objects so INNER JOIN sys.schemas ss ON so.schema_id = ss.schema_id WHERE  type = 'U'

OPEN tables_cur

FETCH NEXT FROM tables_cur INTO @table_name, @table_id

WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
    DECLARE columns_cur CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM sys.columns WHERE object_id = @table_id 
        AND system_type_id IN (167, 175, 231, 239)

    OPEN columns_cur

    FETCH NEXT FROM columns_cur INTO @column_name
        WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
        BEGIN
            SET @sql_string = 'IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ' + @table_name + ' WHERE [' + @column_name + '] 
            LIKE ''%' + @search_string + '%'') PRINT ''' + @table_name + ', ' + @column_name + ''''

            EXECUTE(@sql_string)

        FETCH NEXT FROM columns_cur INTO @column_name
        END

    CLOSE columns_cur

DEALLOCATE columns_cur

FETCH NEXT FROM tables_cur INTO @table_name, @table_id

create table with sequence.nextval in oracle

You can use Oracle's SQL Developer tool to do that (My Oracle DB version is 11). While creating a table choose Advanced option and click on the Identity Column tab at the bottom and from there choose Column Sequence. This will generate a AUTO_INCREMENT column (Corresponding Trigger and Squence) for you.

How do I redirect with JavaScript?

You may need to explain your question a little more.

When you say "redirect", to most people that suggest changing the location of the HTML page:

window.location = url;

When you say "redirect to function" - it doesn't really make sense. You can call a function or you can redirect to another page.
You can even redirect and have a function called when the new page loads.

Simplest two-way encryption using PHP

Encrypting using openssl_encrypt() The openssl_encrypt function provides a secured and easy way to encrypt your data.

In the script below, we use the AES128 encryption method, but you may consider other kind of encryption method depending on what you want to encrypt.

<?php
$message_to_encrypt = "Yoroshikune";
$secret_key = "my-secret-key";
$method = "aes128";
$iv_length = openssl_cipher_iv_length($method);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($iv_length);

$encrypted_message = openssl_encrypt($message_to_encrypt, $method, $secret_key, 0, $iv);

echo $encrypted_message;
?>

Here is an explanation of the variables used :

message_to_encrypt : the data you want to encrypt secret_key : it is your ‘password’ for encryption. Be sure not to choose something too easy and be careful not to share your secret key with other people method : the method of encryption. Here we chose AES128. iv_length and iv : prepare the encryption using bytes encrypted_message : the variable including your encrypted message

Decrypting using openssl_decrypt() Now you encrypted your data, you may need to decrypt it in order to re-use the message you first included into a variable. In order to do so, we will use the function openssl_decrypt().

<?php
$message_to_encrypt = "Yoroshikune";
$secret_key = "my-secret-key";
$method = "aes128";
$iv_length = openssl_cipher_iv_length($method);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($iv_lenght);
$encrypted_message = openssl_encrypt($message_to_encrypt, $method, $secret_key, 0, $iv);

$decrypted_message = openssl_decrypt($encrypted_message, $method, $secret_key, 0, $iv);

echo $decrypted_message;
?>

The decrypt method proposed by openssl_decrypt() is close to openssl_encrypt().

The only difference is that instead of adding $message_to_encrypt, you will need to add your already encrypted message as the first argument of openssl_decrypt().

That is all you have to do.

Getting CheckBoxList Item values

javascript get x and y coordinates on mouse click

Like this.

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
function printMousePos(event) {_x000D_
  document.body.textContent =_x000D_
    "clientX: " + event.clientX +_x000D_
    " - clientY: " + event.clientY;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
document.addEventListener("click", printMousePos);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

MouseEvent - MDN

MouseEvent.clientX Read only
The X coordinate of the mouse pointer in local (DOM content) coordinates.

MouseEvent.clientY Read only
The Y coordinate of the mouse pointer in local (DOM content) coordinates.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open() in PHP

If your local installation is running XAMPP on Windows , That's enough : you can open the file "\xampp\php\php.ini" to activate the php exstension by removing the beginning semicolon at the line ";extension=php_imap.dll". It should be:

;extension=php_imap.dll

to

extension=php_imap.dll

Swift extract regex matches

If you want to extract substrings from a String, not just the position, (but the actual String including emojis). Then, the following maybe a simpler solution.

extension String {
  func regex (pattern: String) -> [String] {
    do {
      let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: pattern, options: NSRegularExpressionOptions(rawValue: 0))
      let nsstr = self as NSString
      let all = NSRange(location: 0, length: nsstr.length)
      var matches : [String] = [String]()
      regex.enumerateMatchesInString(self, options: NSMatchingOptions(rawValue: 0), range: all) {
        (result : NSTextCheckingResult?, _, _) in
        if let r = result {
          let result = nsstr.substringWithRange(r.range) as String
          matches.append(result)
        }
      }
      return matches
    } catch {
      return [String]()
    }
  }
}

Example Usage:

"someText ?? pig".regex("??")

Will return the following:

["??"]

Note using "\w+" may produce an unexpected ""

"someText ?? pig".regex("\\w+")

Will return this String array

["someText", "?", "pig"]

Equivalent of waitForVisible/waitForElementPresent in Selenium WebDriver tests using Java?

Well the thing is that you probably actually don't want the test to run indefinitely. You just want to wait a longer amount of time before the library decides the element doesn't exist. In that case, the most elegant solution is to use implicit wait, which is designed for just that:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait( ... )

SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

A (partial) practical work-around is to put things into a throw-away function.

Pasting

x = 1
x += 1
print(x)

results in

>>> x = 1
x += 1
print(x)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    x += 1
print(x)

    ^
SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement
>>>

However, pasting

def abc():
  x = 1
  x += 1
  print(x)

works:

>>> def abc():
  x = 1
  x += 1
  print(x)
>>> abc()
2
>>>

Of course, this is OK for a quick one-off, won't work for everything you might want to do, etc. But then, going to ipython / jupyter qtconsole is probably the next simplest option.

php is null or empty?

This is not a bug but PHP normal behavior. It happens because the == operator in PHP doesn't check for type. 

'' == null == 0 == false

If you want also to check if the values have the same type, use === instead. To study in deep this difference, please read the official documentation.

React.createElement: type is invalid -- expected a string

If you have this error when testing a component, make sure that every child component render correctly when run alone, if one of your child component depend on external resources to render, try to mock it with jest or any other mocking lib:

Exemple:

jest.mock('pathToChildComponent', () => 'mock-child-component')

HTTP could not register URL http://+:8000/HelloWCF/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace

Unfortunately the link in the exception text, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353, is broken. However, it used to lead to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733768.aspx which explains how to set the permissions.

It basically informs you to use the following command:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:80/MyUri user=DOMAIN\user

You can get more help on the details using the help of netsh

For example: netsh http add ?

Gives help on the http add command.

Flask SQLAlchemy query, specify column names

You can use the with_entities() method to restrict which columns you'd like to return in the result. (documentation) 

result = SomeModel.query.with_entities(SomeModel.col1, SomeModel.col2)

Depending on your requirements, you may also find deferreds useful. They allow you to return the full object but restrict the columns that come over the wire.

.htaccess, order allow, deny, deny from all: confused?

This is a quite confusing way of using Apache configuration directives.

Technically, the first bit is equivalent to

Allow From All

This is because Order Deny,Allow makes the Deny directive evaluated before the Allow Directives. In this case, Deny and Allow conflict with each other, but Allow, being the last evaluated will match any user, and access will be granted.

Now, just to make things clear, this kind of configuration is BAD and should be avoided at all cost, because it borders undefined behaviour.

The Limit sections define which HTTP methods have access to the directory containing the .htaccess file.

Here, GET and POST methods are allowed access, and PUT and DELETE methods are denied access. Here's a link explaining what the various HTTP methods are: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

However, it's more than often useless to use these limitations as long as you don't have custom CGI scripts or Apache modules that directly handle the non-standard methods (PUT and DELETE), since by default, Apache does not handle them at all.

It must also be noted that a few other methods exist that can also be handled by Limit, namely CONNECT, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, and UNLOCK.

The last bit is also most certainly useless, since any correctly configured Apache installation contains the following piece of configuration (for Apache 2.2 and earlier):

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being 
# viewed by Web clients. 
#
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy all
</Files>

which forbids access to any file beginning by ".ht".

The equivalent Apache 2.4 configuration should look like:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Require all denied
</Files>

Error: Cannot access file bin/Debug/... because it is being used by another process

Close VisualStudio, ctrl-alt-delete, select Task Manager, find and end all MSBuild processes - VisualStudio basically has a pretty severe bug where it loses control of its debugger and the debugger maintains a lock on the .pdb file in the debug/bin folder. After you end all the MSBuild (debugger) processes, delete the /debug/bin folder and reopen your solution in Visual Studio. You're good to go now. Microsoft needs to fix this crap.

java: How can I do dynamic casting of a variable from one type to another?

Regarding your update, the only way to solve this in Java is to write code that covers all cases with lots of if and else and instanceof expressions. What you attempt to do looks as if are used to program with dynamic languages. In static languages, what you attempt to do is almost impossible and one would probably choose a totally different approach for what you attempt to do. Static languages are just not as flexible as dynamic ones :)

Good examples of Java best practice are the answer by BalusC (ie ObjectConverter) and the answer by Andreas_D (ie Adapter) below.

That does not make sense, in 

String a = (theType) 5;

the type of a is statically bound to be String so it does not make any sense to have a dynamic cast to this static type.

PS: The first line of your example could be written as Class<String> stringClass = String.class; but still, you cannot use stringClass to cast variables.

How to get file URL using Storage facade in laravel 5?

The Path to your Storage disk would be : 

$storagePath  = Storage::disk('local')->getDriver()->getAdapter()->getPathPrefix()

I don't know any shorter solutions to that...

You could share the $storagePath to your Views and then just call 

$storagePath."/myImg.jpg";

What's the difference between "Solutions Architect" and "Applications Architect"?

There is actually quite a difference, a solutions architect looks a a requirement holistically, say for example the requirement is to reduce the number of staff in a call center taking Pizza orders, a solutions architect looks at all of the component pieces that will have to come together to satisfy this, things like what voice recognition software to use, what hardware is required, what OS would be best suited to host it, integration of the IVR software with the provisioning system etc.

An application archirect in this scenario on the other hand deals with the specifics of how the software will interact, what language is best suited, how to best use any existing api's, creating an api if none exists etc.

Both have their place, both tasks must be done in order to staisfy the requirement and in large orgs you will have dedicated people doing it, in smaller dev shops often times a developer will have to pick up all of the architectural tasks as part of the overall development, because there is no-one else, imo its overly cynical to say that its just a marketing term, it is a real role (even if it's the dev picking it up ad-hoc) and particulary valuable at project kick-off.

"On Exit" for a Console Application

This code works to catch the user closing the console window:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        handler = new ConsoleEventDelegate(ConsoleEventCallback);
        SetConsoleCtrlHandler(handler, true);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    static bool ConsoleEventCallback(int eventType) {
        if (eventType == 2) {
            Console.WriteLine("Console window closing, death imminent");
        }
        return false;
    }
    static ConsoleEventDelegate handler;   // Keeps it from getting garbage collected
    // Pinvoke
    private delegate bool ConsoleEventDelegate(int eventType);
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    private static extern bool SetConsoleCtrlHandler(ConsoleEventDelegate callback, bool add);

}

Beware of the restrictions. You have to respond quickly to this notification, you've got 5 seconds to complete the task. Take longer and Windows will kill your code unceremoniously. And your method is called asynchronously on a worker thread, the state of the program is entirely unpredictable so locking is likely to be required. Do make absolutely sure that an abort cannot cause trouble. For example, when saving state into a file, do make sure you save to a temporary file first and use File.Replace().

final keyword in method parameters

There is a circumstance where you're required to declare it final --otherwise it will result in compile error--, namely passing them through into anonymous classes. Basic example:

public FileFilter createFileExtensionFilter(final String extension) {
    FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() {
        public boolean accept(File pathname) {
            return pathname.getName().endsWith(extension);
        }
    };

    // What would happen when it's allowed to change extension here?
    // extension = "foo";

    return fileFilter;
}

Removing the final modifier would result in compile error, because it isn't guaranteed anymore that the value is a runtime constant. Changing the value from outside the anonymous class would namely cause the anonymous class instance to behave different after the moment of creation.

100% width background image with an 'auto' height

Instead of using background-image you can use img directly and to get the image to spread all the width of the viewport try using max-width:100%; and please remember don't apply any padding or margin to your main container div as they will increase the total width of the container. Using this rule you can have a image width equal to the width of the browser and the height will also change according to the aspect ratio. Thanks.

Edit: Changing the image on different size of the window

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
$(window).resize(function(){_x000D_
  var windowWidth = $(window).width();_x000D_
  var imgSrc = $('#image');_x000D_
  if(windowWidth <= 400){   _x000D_
    imgSrc.attr('src','http://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.png?v=c78bd457575a');_x000D_
  }_x000D_
  else if(windowWidth > 400){_x000D_
    imgSrc.attr('src','http://i.stack.imgur.com/oURrw.png');_x000D_
  }_x000D_
});
_x000D_ 
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<div id="image-container">_x000D_
  <img id="image" src="http://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.png?v=c78bd457575a" alt=""/>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In this way you change your image in different size of the browser.

How to select option in drop down using Capybara

To add yet another answer to the pile (because apparently there's so many ways of doing it depending on your setup) - I did it by selecting the literal option element and clicking it

find(".some-selector-for-dropdown option[value='1234']").select_option

It's not very pretty, but it works :/

struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4

By default, on many platforms the short will be aligned to an offset at a multiple of 2, so there will be a padding byte added after the char.

To disable this, use: struct.unpack("=BH", data). This will use standard alignment, which doesn't add padding:

>>> struct.calcsize('=BH')
3

The = character will use native byte ordering. You can also use < or > instead of = to force little-endian or big-endian byte ordering, respectively.

R * not meaningful for factors ERROR

new[,2] is a factor, not a numeric vector. Transform it first

How can I create an editable dropdownlist in HTML?

I am not sure there is a way to do it automatically without javascript.

What you need is something which runs on the browser side to submit your form back to the server when they user makes a selection - hence, javascript.

Also, ensure you have an alternate means (i.e. a submit button) for those who have javascript turned off.

A good example: Combo-Box Viewer

I had even a more sophisticated combo-box yesterday, with this dhtmlxCombo , using ajax to retrieve pertinent values amongst large quantity of data.

ActiveXObject is not defined and can't find variable: ActiveXObject

ActiveXObject is non-standard and only supported by Internet Explorer on Windows.

There is no native cross browser way to write to the file system without using plugins, even the draft File API gives read only access.

If you want to work cross platform, then you need to look at such things as signed Java applets (keeping in mind that that will only work on platforms for which the Java runtime is available).

Java OCR implementation

I recommend trying the Java OCR project on sourceforge.net. I originally developed it, and I have a blog posting on it.

Since I put it up on sourceforge, its functionality been expanded and improved quite a bit through the great work of a volunteer researcher/developer.

Give it a try, and if you don't like it, you can always improve it!

How do you receive a url parameter with a spring controller mapping

You have a lot of variants for using @RequestParam with additional optional elements, e.g.

@RequestParam(required = false, defaultValue = "someValue", value="someAttr") String someAttr

If you don't put required = false - param will be required by default.

defaultValue = "someValue" - the default value to use as a fallback when the request parameter is not provided or has an empty value.

If request and method param are the same - you don't need value = "someAttr"

range() for floats

Is there a range() equivalent for floats in Python? NO Use this:

def f_range(start, end, step):
    a = range(int(start/0.01), int(end/0.01), int(step/0.01))
    var = []
    for item in a:
        var.append(item*0.01)
    return var

ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

When I had this error, it went away after I my computer crashed and restarted. Try closing and reopening your IDE, if that doesn't work, try restarting your computer. I had just installed the libraries at that point without restarting pycharm when I got this error.

Never closed PyCharm first to test because my blasted computer keeps crashing randomly... working on that one, but it at least solved this problem.. little victories.. :).

Select the values of one property on all objects of an array in PowerShell

I think you might be able to use the ExpandProperty parameter of Select-Object.

For example, to get the list of the current directory and just have the Name property displayed, one would do the following:

ls | select -Property Name

This is still returning DirectoryInfo or FileInfo objects. You can always inspect the type coming through the pipeline by piping to Get-Member (alias gm).

ls | select -Property Name | gm

So, to expand the object to be that of the type of property you're looking at, you can do the following:

ls | select -ExpandProperty Name

In your case, you can just do the following to have a variable be an array of strings, where the strings are the Name property:

$objects = ls | select -ExpandProperty Name

What are database normal forms and can you give examples?

Here's a quick, admittedly butchered response, but in a sentence:

1NF : Your table is organized as an unordered set of data, and there are no repeating columns.

2NF: You don't repeat data in one column of your table because of another column.

3NF: Every column in your table relates only to your table's key -- you wouldn't have a column in a table that describes another column in your table which isn't the key.

For more detail, see wikipedia...

What is the Python equivalent of Matlab's tic and toc functions?

Apart from timeit which ThiefMaster mentioned, a simple way to do it is just (after importing time):

t = time.time()
# do stuff
elapsed = time.time() - t

I have a helper class I like to use:

class Timer(object):
    def __init__(self, name=None):
        self.name = name

    def __enter__(self):
        self.tstart = time.time()

    def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
        if self.name:
            print('[%s]' % self.name,)
        print('Elapsed: %s' % (time.time() - self.tstart))

It can be used as a context manager:

with Timer('foo_stuff'):
   # do some foo
   # do some stuff

Sometimes I find this technique more convenient than timeit - it all depends on what you want to measure.

Illegal string offset Warning PHP

As from PHP 5.4 we need to pass the same datatype value that a function expects. For example:

function testimonial($id); // This function expects $id as an integer

When invoking this function, if a string value is provided like this:

$id = $array['id']; // $id is of string type
testimonial($id); // illegal offset warning

This will generate an illegal offset warning because of datatype mismatch. In order to solve this, you can use settype:

$id = settype($array['id'],"integer"); // $id now contains an integer instead of a string
testimonial($id); // now running smoothly

How to output loop.counter in python jinja template?

if you are using django use forloop.counter instead of loop.counter

<ul>
{% for user in userlist %}
  <li>
      {{ user }} {{forloop.counter}}
  </li>
      {% if forloop.counter == 1 %}
          This is the First user
      {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

How to delete a file or folder?

To avoid the TOCTOU issue highlighted by Éric Araujo's comment, you can catch an exception to call the correct method:

def remove_file_or_dir(path: str) -> None:
    """ Remove a file or directory """
    try:
        shutil.rmtree(path)
    except NotADirectoryError:
        os.remove(path)

Since shutil.rmtree() will only remove directories and os.remove() or os.unlink() will only remove files.

How can I read a text file in Android?

To answer your extra question:

You can set which rows should be repeated on every page using:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getPageSetup()->setRowsToRepeatAtTopByStartAndEnd(1, 5);

Now, row 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be repeated.

How to refer environment variable in POM.xml?

It might be safer to directly pass environment variables to maven system properties. For example, say on Linux you want to access environment variable MY_VARIABLE. You can use a system property in your pom file.

<properties>
    ...
    <!-- Default value for my.variable can be defined here -->
    <my.variable>foo</my.variable>
    ...
</properties>
...
<!-- Use my.variable -->
... ${my.variable} ...

Set the property value on the maven command line:

mvn clean package -Dmy.variable=$MY_VARIABLE

PHP ternary operator vs null coalescing operator

Null Coalescing operator performs just two tasks: it checks whether the variable is set and whether it is null. Have a look at the following example:

<?php
# case 1:
$greeting = 'Hola';
echo $greeting ?? 'Hi There'; # outputs: 'Hola'

# case 2:
$greeting = null;
echo $greeting ?? 'Hi There'; # outputs: 'Hi There'

# case 3:
unset($greeting);
echo $greeting ?? 'Hi There'; # outputs: 'Hi There'

The above code example states that Null Coalescing operator treats a non-existing variable and a variable which is set to NULL in the same way.

Null Coalescing operator is an improvement over the ternary operator. Have a look at the following code snippet comparing the two:

<?php /* example: checking for the $_POST field that goes by the name of 'fullname'*/
# in ternary operator
echo "Welcome ", (isset($_POST['fullname']) && !is_null($_POST['fullname']) ? $_POST['fullname'] : 'Mr. Whosoever.'); # outputs: Welcome Mr. Whosoever.
# in null coalecing operator
echo "Welcome ", ($_POST['fullname'] ?? 'Mr. Whosoever.'); # outputs: Welcome Mr. Whosoever.

So, the difference between the two is that Null Coalescing operator operator is designed to handle undefined variables better than the ternary operator. Whereas, the ternary operator is a shorthand for if-else.

Null Coalescing operator is not meant to replace ternary operator, but in some use cases like in the above example, it allows you to write clean code with less hassle.

Postgres DB Size Command

You can get the names of all the databases that you can connect to from the "pg_datbase" system table. Just apply the function to the names, as below.

select t1.datname AS db_name,  
       pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(t1.datname)) as db_size
from pg_database t1
order by pg_database_size(t1.datname) desc;

If you intend the output to be consumed by a machine instead of a human, you can cut the pg_size_pretty() function.

Spring Test & Security: How to mock authentication?

Seaching for answer I couldn't find any to be easy and flexible at the same time, then I found the Spring Security Reference and I realized there are near to perfect solutions. AOP solutions often are the greatest ones for testing, and Spring provides it with @WithMockUser, @WithUserDetails and @WithSecurityContext, in this artifact:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.2.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

In most cases, @WithUserDetails gathers the flexibility and power I need.

How @WithUserDetails works?

Basically you just need to create a custom UserDetailsService with all the possible users profiles you want to test. E.g

@TestConfiguration
public class SpringSecurityWebAuxTestConfig {

    @Bean
    @Primary
    public UserDetailsService userDetailsService() {
        User basicUser = new UserImpl("Basic User", "[email protected]", "password");
        UserActive basicActiveUser = new UserActive(basicUser, Arrays.asList(
                new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_USER"),
                new SimpleGrantedAuthority("PERM_FOO_READ")
        ));

        User managerUser = new UserImpl("Manager User", "[email protected]", "password");
        UserActive managerActiveUser = new UserActive(managerUser, Arrays.asList(
                new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_MANAGER"),
                new SimpleGrantedAuthority("PERM_FOO_READ"),
                new SimpleGrantedAuthority("PERM_FOO_WRITE"),
                new SimpleGrantedAuthority("PERM_FOO_MANAGE")
        ));

        return new InMemoryUserDetailsManager(Arrays.asList(
                basicActiveUser, managerActiveUser
        ));
    }
}

Now we have our users ready, so imagine we want to test the access control to this controller function:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/foo")
public class FooController {

    @Secured("ROLE_MANAGER")
    @GetMapping("/salute")
    public String saluteYourManager(@AuthenticationPrincipal User activeUser)
    {
        return String.format("Hi %s. Foo salutes you!", activeUser.getUsername());
    }
}

Here we have a get mapped function to the route /foo/salute and we are testing a role based security with the @Secured annotation, although you can test @PreAuthorize and @PostAuthorize as well. Let's create two tests, one to check if a valid user can see this salute response and the other to check if it's actually forbidden.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(
        webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT,
        classes = SpringSecurityWebAuxTestConfig.class
)
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class WebApplicationSecurityTest {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Test
    @WithUserDetails("[email protected]")
    public void givenManagerUser_whenGetFooSalute_thenOk() throws Exception
    {
        mockMvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/foo/salute")
                .accept(MediaType.ALL))
                .andExpect(status().isOk())
                .andExpect(content().string(containsString("[email protected]")));
    }

    @Test
    @WithUserDetails("[email protected]")
    public void givenBasicUser_whenGetFooSalute_thenForbidden() throws Exception
    {
        mockMvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/foo/salute")
                .accept(MediaType.ALL))
                .andExpect(status().isForbidden());
    }
}

As you see we imported SpringSecurityWebAuxTestConfig to provide our users for testing. Each one used on its corresponding test case just by using a straightforward annotation, reducing code and complexity.

Better use @WithMockUser for simpler Role Based Security

As you see @WithUserDetails has all the flexibility you need for most of your applications. It allows you to use custom users with any GrantedAuthority, like roles or permissions. But if you are just working with roles, testing can be even easier and you could avoid constructing a custom UserDetailsService. In such cases, specify a simple combination of user, password and roles with @WithMockUser.

@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Inherited
@Documented
@WithSecurityContext(
    factory = WithMockUserSecurityContextFactory.class
)
public @interface WithMockUser {
    String value() default "user";

    String username() default "";

    String[] roles() default {"USER"};

    String password() default "password";
}

The annotation defines default values for a very basic user. As in our case the route we are testing just requires that the authenticated user be a manager, we can quit using SpringSecurityWebAuxTestConfig and do this.

@Test
@WithMockUser(roles = "MANAGER")
public void givenManagerUser_whenGetFooSalute_thenOk() throws Exception
{
    mockMvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/foo/salute")
            .accept(MediaType.ALL))
            .andExpect(status().isOk())
            .andExpect(content().string(containsString("user")));
}

Notice that now instead of the user [email protected] we are getting the default provided by @WithMockUser: user; yet it won't matter because what we really care about is his role: ROLE_MANAGER.

Conclusions

As you see with annotations like @WithUserDetails and @WithMockUser we can switch between different authenticated users scenarios without building classes alienated from our architecture just for making simple tests. Its also recommended you to see how @WithSecurityContext works for even more flexibility.

Why compile Python code?

Yep, performance is the main reason and, as far as I know, the only reason.

If some of your files aren't getting compiled, maybe Python isn't able to write to the .pyc file, perhaps because of the directory permissions or something. Or perhaps the uncompiled files just aren't ever getting loaded... (scripts/modules only get compiled when they first get loaded)

How to solve "Kernel panic - not syncing - Attempted to kill init" -- without erasing any user data

Solution is :-

  1. Restart
  2. Go to advanced menu and then click on 'e'(edit the boot parameters)
  3. Go down to the line which starts with linux and press End
  4. Press space
  5. Add the following at the end -> kernel.panic=1
  6. Press F10 to restart

This basically forces your PC to restart because by default it does not restart after a kernel panic.

Auto-indent in Notepad++

Try to save the file before, then it will indent.

Action Bar's onClick listener for the Home button

Fixed: no need to use a setOnMenuItemClickListener. Just pressing the button, it creates and launches the activity through the intent.

Thanks a lot everybody for your help!

How to unlock a file from someone else in Team Foundation Server

In my case, I tried unlocking the file with tf lock but was told I couldn't because the stale workspace on an old computer that no longer existed was a local workspace. I then tried deleting the workspace with tf workspace /delete, but deleting the workspace did not remove the lock (and then I couldn't try to unlock it again because I just got an error saying the workspace no longer existed).

I ended up tf destroying the file and checking it in again, which was pretty silly and had the undesirable effect of removing\ it from previous changesets, but at least got us working again. It wasn't that big a deal in this case since the file had never been changed since being checked in.

Clang vs GCC for my Linux Development project

I use both because sometimes they give different, useful error messages.

The Python project was able to find and fix a number of small buglets when one of the core developers first tried compiling with clang.

Can't find how to use HttpContent

I'm pretty sure the code is not using the System.Net.Http.HttpContent class, but instead Microsoft.Http.HttpContent. Microsoft.Http was the WCF REST Starter Kit, which never made it out preview before being placed in the .NET Framework. You can still find it here: http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/24644

I would not recommend basing new code on it.

JQuery - $ is not defined

it appears that if you locate your jquery.js files under the same folder or in some subfolders where your html file is, the Firebug problem is solved. eg if your html is under C:/folder1/, then your js files should be somewhere under C:/folder1/ (or C:/folder1/folder2 etc) as well and addressed accordingly in the html doc. hope this helps.

Char to int conversion in C

Yes. This is safe as long as you are using standard ascii characters, like you are in this example.

How to replace DOM element in place using Javascript?

You can replace an HTML Element or Node using Node.replaceWith(newNode).

This example should keep all attributes and childs from origin node:

const links = document.querySelectorAll('a')

links.forEach(link => {
  const replacement = document.createElement('span')
  
  // copy attributes
  for (let i = 0; i < link.attributes.length; i++) {
     const attr = link.attributes[i]
     replacement.setAttribute(attr.name, attr.value)
  }
  
  // copy content
  replacement.innerHTML = link.innerHTML
  
  // or you can use appendChild instead
  // link.childNodes.forEach(node => replacement.appendChild(node))

  link.replaceWith(replacement)
})

If you have these elements:

<a href="#link-1">Link 1</a>
<a href="#link-2">Link 2</a>
<a href="#link-3">Link 3</a>
<a href="#link-4">Link 4</a>

After running above codes, you will end up with these elements:

<span href="#link-1">Link 1</span>
<span href="#link-2">Link 2</span>
<span href="#link-3">Link 3</span>
<span href="#link-4">Link 4</span>

Deleting all pending tasks in celery / rabbitmq

For Celery 2.x and 3.x:

When using worker with -Q parameter to define queues, for example

celery worker -Q queue1,queue2,queue3

then celery purge will not work, because you cannot pass the queue params to it. It will only delete the default queue. The solution is to start your workers with --purge parameter like this:

celery worker -Q queue1,queue2,queue3 --purge

This will however run the worker.

Other option is to use the amqp subcommand of celery

celery amqp queue.delete queue1
celery amqp queue.delete queue2
celery amqp queue.delete queue3

Convert file path to a file URI?

At least in .NET 4.5+ you can also do:

var uri = new System.Uri("C:\\foo", UriKind.Absolute);

Add custom message to thrown exception while maintaining stack trace in Java

You can use your exception message by:-

 public class MyNullPointException extends NullPointerException {

        private ExceptionCodes exceptionCodesCode;

        public MyNullPointException(ExceptionCodes code) {
            this.exceptionCodesCode=code;
        }
        @Override
        public String getMessage() {
            return exceptionCodesCode.getCode();
        }


   public class enum ExceptionCodes {
    COULD_NOT_SAVE_RECORD ("cityId:001(could.not.save.record)"),
    NULL_POINT_EXCEPTION_RECORD ("cityId:002(null.point.exception.record)"),
    COULD_NOT_DELETE_RECORD ("cityId:003(could.not.delete.record)");

    private String code;

    private ExceptionCodes(String code) {
        this.code = code;
    }

    public String getCode() {
        return code;
    }
}

How to get the result of OnPostExecute() to main activity because AsyncTask is a separate class?

You can try this code in your Main class. That worked for me, but i have implemented methods in other way

try {
    String receivedData = new AsyncTask().execute("http://yourdomain.com/yourscript.php").get();
} 
catch (ExecutionException | InterruptedException ei) {
    ei.printStackTrace();
}

Java String import

String is present in package java.lang which is imported by default in all java programs.

How do I draw a shadow under a UIView?

A by far easier approach is to set some layer attributes of the view on initialization:

self.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-15, 20);
self.layer.shadowRadius = 5;
self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;

You need to import QuartzCore.

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

CMake error at CMakeLists.txt:30 (project): No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found

For me, this problem went away on Windows when I moved my project to a shallower parent directory, i.e. to:

C:\Users\spenc\Desktop\MyProjectDirectory

instead of

C:\Users\spenc\Desktop\...\MyProjectDirectory.

I think the source of the problem was that MSBuild has a file path length restriction to 260 characters. This causes the basic compiler test CMake performs to build a project called CompilerIdCXX.vcxproj to fail with the error:

C1083: Cannot open source file: 'CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp'

because the length of the file's path e.g.

C:\Users\spenc\Desktop\...\MyProjectDirectory\build\CMakeFiles\...\CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp

exceeds the MAX_PATH restriction.

CMake then concludes there is no CXX compiler.

T-SQL - function with default parameters

You can call it three ways - with parameters, with DEFAULT and via EXECUTE

SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE
@Table  SYSNAME = 'YourTable',
@Schema SYSNAME = 'dbo',
@Rows   INT;

SELECT dbo.TableRowCount( @Table, @Schema )

SELECT dbo.TableRowCount( @Table, DEFAULT )

EXECUTE @Rows = dbo.TableRowCount @Table

SELECT @Rows

JavaScript Form Submit - Confirm or Cancel Submission Dialog Box

The issue pointed in the comment is valid, so here is a different revision that's immune to that:

  if(!confirm("Do you really want to do this?")) {
    return false;
  }
  this.form.submit();
}

What does principal end of an association means in 1:1 relationship in Entity framework

In one-to-one relation one end must be principal and second end must be dependent. Principal end is the one which will be inserted first and which can exist without the dependent one. Dependent end is the one which must be inserted after the principal because it has foreign key to the principal.

In case of entity framework FK in dependent must also be its PK so in your case you should use:

public class Boo
{
    [Key, ForeignKey("Foo")]
    public string BooId{get;set;}
    public Foo Foo{get;set;}
}

Or fluent mapping

modelBuilder.Entity<Foo>()
            .HasOptional(f => f.Boo)
            .WithRequired(s => s.Foo);

How to extract filename.tar.gz file

Internally tar xcvf <filename> will call the binary gzip from the PATH environment variable to decompress the files in the tar archive. Sometimes third party tools use a custom gzip binary which is not compatible with the tar binary. It is a good idea to check the gzip binary in your PATH with which gzip and make sure that a correct gzip binary is called.

Getting Java version at runtime

Runtime.version()

Since Java 9, you can use Runtime.version(), which returns a Runtime.Version:

Runtime.Version version = Runtime.version();

Where does the .gitignore file belong?

As the other answers stated, you can place .gitignore within any directory in a Git repository. However, if you need to have a private version of .gitignore, you can add the rules to .git/info/exclude file.

No authenticationScheme was specified, and there was no DefaultChallengeScheme found with default authentification and custom authorization

When I used policy before I set the default authentication scheme into it as well. I had modified the DefaultPolicy so it was slightly different. However the same should work for add policy as well. 

services.AddAuthorization(options =>
        {
            options.AddPolicy(DefaultAuthorizedPolicy, policy =>
            {
                policy.Requirements.Add(new TokenAuthRequirement());
                policy.AuthenticationSchemes = new List<string>()
                                {
                                    CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme
                                }
            });
        });

Do take into consideration that by Default AuthenticationSchemes property uses a read only list. I think it would be better to implement that instead of List as well.

How to define a Sql Server connection string to use in VB.NET?

Try

Dim connectionString AS String = "Server=my_server;Database=name_of_db;User Id=user_name;Password=my_password"

And replace my_server, name_of_db, user_name and my_password with your values.

then Using sqlCon = New SqlConnection(connectionString) should work

also I think your SQL is wrong, it should be SET clickCount= clickCount + 1 I think.

And on a general note, the page you link to has a link called Connection String which shows you how to do this.

Greater than less than, python

Check to make sure that both score and array[x] are numerical types. You might be comparing an integer to a string...which is heartbreakingly possible in Python 2.x.

>>> 2 < "2"
True
>>> 2 > "2"
False
>>> 2 == "2"
False

Edit

Further explanation: How does Python compare string and int?

How to create a multiline UITextfield?

There is another option that worked for me:

Subclass UITextField and overwrite:

- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect

In this method you can for example:

    NSDictionary *attributes = @{ NSFontAttributeName : self.font,
                                  NSForegroundColorAttributeName : self.textColor };

    [self.text drawInRect:verticalAlignedRect withAttributes:attributes];

This code will render the text using as many lines as required if the rect has enough space. You could specify any other attribute depending on your needs.

Do not use:

self.defaultTextAttributes

which will force one line text rendering

How to get HTML 5 input type="date" working in Firefox and/or IE 10

You can try webshims, which is available on cdn + only loads the polyfill, if it is needed.

Here is a demo with CDN: http://jsfiddle.net/trixta/BMEc9/

<!-- cdn for modernizr, if you haven't included it already -->
<script src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/webshim/1.12.4/extras/modernizr-custom.js"></script>
<!-- polyfiller file to detect and load polyfills -->
<script src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/webshim/1.12.4/polyfiller.js"></script>
<script>
  webshims.setOptions('waitReady', false);
  webshims.setOptions('forms-ext', {types: 'date'});
  webshims.polyfill('forms forms-ext');
</script>

<input type="date" />

In case the default configuration does not satisfy, there are many ways to configure it. Here you find the datepicker configurator.

Note: While there might be new bugfix releases for webshim in the future. There won't be any major releases anymore. This includes support for jQuery 3.0 or any new features.
