How do I pass JavaScript values to Scriptlet in JSP?

Your javascript values are client-side, your scriptlet is running server-side. So if you want to use your javascript variables in a scriptlet, you will need to submit them.

To achieve this, either store them in input fields and submit a form, or perform an ajax request. I suggest you look into JQuery for this.

figure of imshow() is too small

Update 2020

as requested by @baxxx, here is an update because random.rand is deprecated meanwhile.

This works with matplotlip 3.2.1:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import random
import numpy as np

random = np.random.random ([8,90])

plt.figure(figsize = (20,2))
plt.imshow(random, interpolation='nearest')

This plots:

enter image description here

To change the random number, you can experiment with np.random.normal(0,1,(8,90)) (here mean = 0, standard deviation = 1).

How to import csv file in PHP?

From the PHP manual:

<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        $num = count($data);
        echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
        $row++;
        for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
            echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
        }
    }
    fclose($handle);
}
?>

SVN Commit failed, access forbidden

I had a similar issue in Mac where svn was picking mac login as user name and I was getting error as

svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://repo:8443/svn/proj/trunk'
svn: E175013: Access to '/svn/proj/trunk' forbidden

I used the --username along with svn command to pass the correct username which helped me. Alternatively, you can delete ~/.subversion/auth file, after which svn will prompt you for username.

capture div into image using html2canvas

It can be easily done using html2canvas, try out the following,

try adding the div inside a html modal and call the model id using a jquery function. In the function you can specify the size (height, width) of the image to be displayed. Using modal is an easy way to capture a html div into an image in a button onclick.

for example have a look at the code sample,

`

        <!-- Modal content-->
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">


            <div class="modal-body">
                <p>Some text in the modal.</p>

`

paste the div, which you want to be displayed, inside the model. Hope it will help.

How to upgrade scikit-learn package in anaconda

Following Worked for me for scikit-learn on Anaconda-Jupyter Notebook.

Upgrading my scikit-learn from 0.19.1 to 0.19.2 in anaconda installed on Ubuntu on Google VM instance:

Run the following commands in the terminal:

First, check existing available packages with versions by using:

conda list    

It will show different packages and their installed versions in the output. Here check for scikit-learn. e.g. for me, the output was:

scikit-learn              0.19.1           py36hedc7406_0  

Now I want to Upgrade to 0.19.2 July 2018 release i.e. latest available version.

conda config --append channels conda-forge
conda install scikit-learn=0.19.2

As you are trying to upgrade to 0.17 version try the following command:

conda install scikit-learn=0.17

Now check the required version of the scikit-learn is installed correctly or not by using:

conda list 

For me the Output was:

scikit-learn              0.19.2          py36_blas_openblasha84fab4_201  [blas_openblas]  conda-forge

Note: Don't use pip command if you are using Anaconda or Miniconda

I tried following commands:

!conda update conda 
!pip install -U scikit-learn

It will install the required packages also will show in the conda list but if you try to import that package it will not work.

On the website http://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html it is mentioned as: Warning To upgrade or uninstall scikit-learn installed with Anaconda or conda you should not use the pip.

Prevent Caching in ASP.NET MVC for specific actions using an attribute

ASP.NET MVC 5 solutions:

  1. Caching prevention code at a central location: the App_Start/FilterConfig.cs's RegisterGlobalFilters method:
    public class FilterConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
        {
            // ...
            filters.Add(new OutputCacheAttribute
            {
                NoStore = true,
                Duration = 0,
                VaryByParam = "*",
                Location = System.Web.UI.OutputCacheLocation.None
            });
        }
    }
  1. Once you have that in place my understanding is that you can override the global filter by applying a different OutputCache directive at Controller or View level. For regular Controller it's
[OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 0, Location=System.Web.UI.ResponseCacheLocation.None, VaryByParam = "*")]

or if it's an ApiController it'd be

[System.Web.Mvc.OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 0, Location = System.Web.UI.OutputCacheLocation.None, VaryByParam = "*")]

Sequence contains no matching element

For those of you who faced this issue while creating a controller through the context menu, reopening Visual Studio as an administrator fixed it.

Displaying splash screen for longer than default seconds

This works...

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Load Splash View Controller first
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds];
    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
    UIViewController *viewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Splash"];
    self.window.rootViewController = viewController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    // Load other stuff that requires time

    // Now load the main View Controller that you want
}

Spring Boot yaml configuration for a list of strings

In my case this was a syntax issue in the .yml file. I had:

@Value("${spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers}")
public List<String> BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_LIST;

and the list in my .yml file:

bootstrap-servers:
  - s1.company.com:9092
  - s2.company.com:9092
  - s3.company.com:9092

was not reading into the @Value-annotated field. When I changed the syntax in the .yml file to:

bootstrap-servers >
  s1.company.com:9092
  s2.company.com:9092
  s3.company.com:9092

it worked fine.

How do I get my Maven Integration tests to run

You can set up Maven's Surefire to run unit tests and integration tests separately. In the standard unit test phase you run everything that does not pattern match an integration test. You then create a second test phase that runs just the integration tests.

Here is an example:

    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <excludes>
          <exclude>**/*IntegrationTest.java</exclude>
        </excludes>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>integration-test</id>
          <goals>
            <goal>test</goal>
          </goals>
          <phase>integration-test</phase>
          <configuration>
            <excludes>
              <exclude>none</exclude>
            </excludes>
            <includes>
              <include>**/*IntegrationTest.java</include>
            </includes>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>

Share link on Google+

Yep! Use the link:

Why is NULL undeclared?

Are you including "stdlib.h" or "cstdlib" in this file? NULL is defined in stdlib.h/cstdlib

#include <stdlib.h>

or

#include <cstdlib>  // This is preferrable for c++

What is the meaning of single and double underscore before an object name?

__foo__: this is just a convention, a way for the Python system to use names that won't conflict with user names.

_foo: this is just a convention, a way for the programmer to indicate that the variable is private (whatever that means in Python).

__foo: this has real meaning: the interpreter replaces this name with _classname__foo as a way to ensure that the name will not overlap with a similar name in another class.

No other form of underscores have meaning in the Python world.

There's no difference between class, variable, global, etc in these conventions.

How do I create dynamic variable names inside a loop?

var marker  = [];
for ( var i = 0; i < 6; i++) {               
     marker[i]='Hello'+i;                    
}
console.log(marker);
alert(marker);

What is a "cache-friendly" code?

Be aware that caches do not just cache continuous memory. They have multiple lines (at least 4) so discontinous and overlapping memory can often be stored just as efficiently.

What is missing from all the above examples is measured benchmarks. There are many myths about performance. Unless you measure it you do not know. Do not complicate your code unless you have a measured improvement.

Singleton: How should it be used

Modern C++ Design by Alexandrescu has a thread-safe, inheritable generic singleton.

For my 2p-worth, I think it's important to have defined lifetimes for your singletons (when it's absolutely necessary to use them). I normally don't let the static get() function instantiate anything, and leave set-up and destruction to some dedicated section of the main application. This helps highlight dependencies between singletons - but, as stressed above, it's best to just avoid them if possible.

In Javascript, how to conditionally add a member to an object?

This has long been answered, but looking at other ideas I came up with some interesting derivative:

Assign undefined values to the same property and delete it afterwards

Create your object using an anonymous constructor and always assign undefined members to the same dummy member which you remove at the very end. This will give you a single line (not too complex I hope) per member + 1 additional line at the end.

var a = new function() {
    this.AlwaysPresent = 1;
    this[conditionA ? "a" : "undef"] = valueA;
    this[conditionB ? "b" : "undef"] = valueB;
    this[conditionC ? "c" : "undef"] = valueC;
    this[conditionD ? "d" : "undef"] = valueD;
    ...
    delete this.undef;
};

How to load/edit/run/save text files (.py) into an IPython notebook cell?

EDIT: Starting from IPython 3 (now Jupyter project), the notebook has a text editor that can be used as a more convenient alternative to load/edit/save text files.

A text file can be loaded in a notebook cell with the magic command %load.

If you execute a cell containing:

%load filename.py

the content of filename.py will be loaded in the next cell. You can edit and execute it as usual.

To save the cell content back into a file add the cell-magic %%writefile filename.py at the beginning of the cell and run it. Beware that if a file with the same name already exists it will be silently overwritten.

To see the help for any magic command add a ?: like %load? or %%writefile?.

For general help on magic functions type "%magic" For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.

See also: Magic functions from the official IPython docs.

How to filter rows containing a string pattern from a Pandas dataframe

If you want to set the column you filter on as a new index, you could also consider to use .filter; if you want to keep it as a separate column then str.contains is the way to go.

Let's say you have

df = pd.DataFrame({'vals': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 'ids': [u'aball', u'bball', u'cnut', u'fball', 'ballxyz']})

       ids  vals
0    aball     1
1    bball     2
2     cnut     3
3    fball     4
4  ballxyz     5

and your plan is to filter all rows in which ids contains ball AND set ids as new index, you can do

df.set_index('ids').filter(like='ball', axis=0)

which gives

         vals
ids          
aball       1
bball       2
fball       4
ballxyz     5

But filter also allows you to pass a regex, so you could also filter only those rows where the column entry ends with ball. In this case you use

df.set_index('ids').filter(regex='ball$', axis=0)

       vals
ids        
aball     1
bball     2
fball     4

Note that now the entry with ballxyz is not included as it starts with ball and does not end with it.

If you want to get all entries that start with ball you can simple use

df.set_index('ids').filter(regex='^ball', axis=0)

yielding

         vals
ids          
ballxyz     5

The same works with columns; all you then need to change is the axis=0 part. If you filter based on columns, it would be axis=1.

USB Debugging option greyed out

Just ran into this on the LG Rebel LTE (LGL44VL). As other answers note, you need to change the USB connection mode to PTP. But my phone's control panels were different from stock Android and didn't have such an option.

The option was hiding in a notification that appeared when I plugged the phone in. I had to open the notification tray and tap a notification labeled

Replace spaces with dashes and make all letters lower-case

Above answer can be considered to be confusing a little. String methods are not modifying original object. They return new object. It must be:

var str = "Sonic Free Games";
str = str.replace(/\s+/g, '-').toLowerCase(); //new object assigned to var str

How to convert a number to string and vice versa in C++

Insert a line break in mailto body

I would suggest you try the html tag <br>, in case your marketing application will recognize it.

I use %0D%0A. This should work as long as the email is HTML formatted.

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subscribe&body=Lastame%20%3A%0D%0AFirstname%20%3A"><img alt="Subscribe" class="center" height="50" src="subscribe.png" style="width: 137px; height: 50px; color: #4da6f7; font-size: 20px; display: block;" width="137"></a>

You will likely want to take out the %20 before Firstname, otherwise you will have a space as the first character on the next line.

A note, when I tested this with your code, it worked (along with some extra spacing). Are you using a mail client that doesn't allow HTML formatting?

How to pick a new color for each plotted line within a figure in matplotlib?

You can also change the default color cycle in your matplotlibrc file. If you don't know where that file is, do the following in python:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.matplotlib_fname()

This will show you the path to your currently used matplotlibrc file. In that file you will find amongst many other settings also the one for axes.color.cycle. Just put in your desired sequence of colors and you will find it in every plot you make. Note that you can also use all valid html color names in matplotlib.

Websocket onerror - how to read error description?

The error Event the onerror handler receives is a simple event not containing such information:

If the user agent was required to fail the WebSocket connection or the WebSocket connection is closed with prejudice, fire a simple event named error at the WebSocket object.

You may have better luck listening for the close event, which is a CloseEvent and indeed has a CloseEvent.code property containing a numerical code according to RFC 6455 11.7 and a CloseEvent.reason string property.

Please note however, that CloseEvent.code (and CloseEvent.reason) are limited in such a way that network probing and other security issues are avoided.

What does DIM stand for in Visual Basic and BASIC?

It's short for Dimension, as it was originally used in BASIC to specify the size of arrays.

DIM — (short for dimension) define the size of arrays

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_BASIC

A part of the original BASIC compiler source code, where it would jump when finding a DIM command, in which you can clearly see the original intention for the keyword:

DIM    LDA XR01             BACK OFF OBJECT POINTER
       SUB N3
       STA RX01
       LDA L        2       GET VARIABLE TO BE DIMENSIONED
       STA 3
       LDA S        3
       CAB N36              CHECK FOR $ ARRAY
       BRU *+7              NOT $
       ...

Ref: http://dtss.dartmouth.edu/scans/BASIC/BASIC%20Compiler.pdf

Later on it came to be used to declare all kinds of variables, when the possibility to specify the type for variables was added in more recent implementations.

HttpServletRequest - Get query string parameters, no form data

The servlet API lacks this feature because it was created in a time when many believed that the query string and the message body was just two different ways of sending parameters, not realizing that the purposes of the parameters are fundamentally different.

The query string parameters ?foo=bar are a part of the URL because they are involved in identifying a resource (which could be a collection of many resources), like "all persons aged 42":

GET /persons?age=42

The message body parameters in POST or PUT are there to express a modification to the target resource(s). Fx setting a value to the attribute "hair":

PUT /persons?age=42

hair=grey

So it is definitely RESTful to use both query parameters and body parameters at the same time, separated so that you can use them for different purposes. The feature is definitely missing in the Java servlet API.

Creating random numbers with no duplicates

Here's how I'd do it

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Random;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int size = 20;

        ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>(size);
        for(int i = 1; i <= size; i++) {
            list.add(i);
        }

        Random rand = new Random();
        while(list.size() > 0) {
            int index = rand.nextInt(list.size());
            System.out.println("Selected: "+list.remove(index));
        }
    }
}

As the esteemed Mr Skeet has pointed out:
If n is the number of randomly selected numbers you wish to choose and N is the total sample space of numbers available for selection:

  1. If n << N, you should just store the numbers that you have picked and check a list to see if the number selected is in it.
  2. If n ~= N, you should probably use my method, by populating a list containing the entire sample space and then removing numbers from it as you select them.

JavaScript equivalent of PHP's in_array()

Array.indexOf was introduced in JavaScript 1.6, but it is not supported in older browsers. Thankfully the chaps over at Mozilla have done all the hard work for you, and provided you with this for compatibility:

if (!Array.prototype.indexOf)
{
  Array.prototype.indexOf = function(elt /*, from*/)
  {
    var len = this.length >>> 0;

    var from = Number(arguments[1]) || 0;
    from = (from < 0)
         ? Math.ceil(from)
         : Math.floor(from);
    if (from < 0)
      from += len;

    for (; from < len; from++)
    {
      if (from in this &&
          this[from] === elt)
        return from;
    }
    return -1;
  };
}

There are even some handy usage snippets for your scripting pleasure.

Bootstrap 3 Navbar Collapse

If the problem you face is the menu breaking into multiple lines, you can try one of the following:

1) Try to reduce the number of menu items or their length, like removing menu items or shortening the words.

2) Reducing the padding between the menu items, like this:

.navbar .nav > li > a {
padding: 10px 15px 10px; /* Change here the second value for padding-left and padding right */
}

Default padding is 15px both sides (left and right).

If you prefer to change each individual side use:

padding-left: 7px; 
padding-right: 8px;

This setting affects the dropdown list too.

This doesn't answer the question but it could help others who don't want to mess with the CSS or using LESS variables. The two common approaches to solve this problem.

Windows 10 SSH keys

WINDOWS: If you have git for windows installed go to its folder.

enter image description here

Look in the bin directory. There is a sh.exe file. Run that.

enter image description here

Then type:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your email here"

Follow through instructions and then type:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | clip

It copies the key to your clipboard. Now you can paste that public key to the server side.

How to use particular CSS styles based on screen size / device

Use @media queries. They serve this exact purpose. Here's an example how they work:

@media (max-width: 800px) {
  /* CSS that should be displayed if width is equal to or less than 800px goes here */
}

This would work only on devices whose width is equal to or less than 800px.

Read up more about media queries on the Mozilla Developer Network.

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer FindException: Module not found

I had the same issue and I fixed it this way:

  1. Deleted all projects from eclipse, not from the computer.
  2. Created a new project and as soon as you write the name of your project, you get another window, in which is written: "Create module-info.java". I just clicked "don't create".
  3. Created a package. Let us call the package mywork.
  4. Created a Java class inside the package myWork. Let us call the class HelloWorld.
  5. I run the file normally and it was working fine.

Note: First, make sure that Java is running properly using the CMD command in that way you will understand the problem is on eclipse and not on JDK.

assign multiple variables to the same value in Javascript

Nothing stops you from doing

moveUp = moveDown = moveLeft = moveRight = mouseDown = touchDown = false;

Check this example

_x000D_
_x000D_
var a, b, c;_x000D_
a = b = c = 10;_x000D_
console.log(a + b + c)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Check if a file is executable

Seems nobody noticed that -x operator does not differ file with directory.

So to precisely check an executable file, you may use [[ -f SomeFile && -x SomeFile ]]

frequent issues arising in android view, Error parsing XML: unbound prefix

I had this same problem.

Make sure that the prefix (android:[whatever]) is spelled correctly and written correctly. In the case of the line xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" make sure that you have the full prefix xmlns:android and that it is spelled correctly. Same with any other prefixes - make sure they are spelled correctly and have android:[name]. This is what solved my problem.

Doctrine2: Best way to handle many-to-many with extra columns in reference table

I was getting from a conflict with join table defined in an association class ( with additional custom fields ) annotation and a join table defined in a many-to-many annotation.

The mapping definitions in two entities with a direct many-to-many relationship appeared to result in the automatic creation of the join table using the 'joinTable' annotation. However the join table was already defined by an annotation in its underlying entity class and I wanted it to use this association entity class's own field definitions so as to extend the join table with additional custom fields.

The explanation and solution is that identified by FMaz008 above. In my situation, it was thanks to this post in the forum 'Doctrine Annotation Question'. This post draws attention to the Doctrine documentation regarding ManyToMany Uni-directional relationships. Look at the note regarding the approach of using an 'association entity class' thus replacing the many-to-many annotation mapping directly between two main entity classes with a one-to-many annotation in the main entity classes and two 'many-to-one' annotations in the associative entity class. There is an example provided in this forum post Association models with extra fields:

public class Person {

  /** @OneToMany(targetEntity="AssignedItems", mappedBy="person") */
  private $assignedItems;

}

public class Items {

    /** @OneToMany(targetEntity="AssignedItems", mappedBy="item") */
    private $assignedPeople;
}

public class AssignedItems {

    /** @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Person")
    * @JoinColumn(name="person_id", referencedColumnName="id")
    */
private $person;

    /** @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Item")
    * @JoinColumn(name="item_id", referencedColumnName="id")
    */
private $item;

}

Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain

I had the same problem. I was very new to iPhone development and it was my first time trying to submit my app to App-store...

Check the following :

1. Check that your current "Bundle Identifier" is same as your current "Provisioning Profile" name in "Code Signing Identity".

2. In "Code Signing identity block" - Check Debug AND Distribution have the same "Code Signing Information". Try to keep the "Code Signing Information" same in all the Blocks.

3. Try to Download the "Provisioning Profile" again and double click on the profile. Then use that newly downloaded profile in your "Code Signing Identity".

4. Try to Download the "Certificate" again from the "developer.apple.com" and double click on the certificate. (It worked in my case)

Then "Clean" the project and click on "Build for Archive". Hope your code will be archived perfectly.

How to advance to the next form input when the current input has a value?

This simulates a tab through a form and gives focus to the next input when the enter key is pressed.

window.onkeypress = function(e) {
    if (e.which == 13) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('input');
        for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
        if (document.activeElement.id == inputs[i].id && i+1 < inputs.length ) {
            inputs[i+1].focus();
            break;   
        }
    }

Creating SVG elements dynamically with javascript inside HTML

Change

var svg   = document.documentElement;

to

var svg = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "svg");

so that you create a SVG element.

For the link to be an hyperlink, simply add a href attribute :

h.setAttributeNS(null, 'href', 'http://www.google.com');

Demonstration

Event system in Python

If you wanted to do more complicated things like merging events or retry you can use the Observable pattern and a mature library that implements that. https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPY . Observables are very common in Javascript and Java and very convenient to use for some async tasks.

from rx import Observable, Observer


def push_five_strings(observer):
        observer.on_next("Alpha")
        observer.on_next("Beta")
        observer.on_next("Gamma")
        observer.on_next("Delta")
        observer.on_next("Epsilon")
        observer.on_completed()


class PrintObserver(Observer):

    def on_next(self, value):
        print("Received {0}".format(value))

    def on_completed(self):
        print("Done!")

    def on_error(self, error):
        print("Error Occurred: {0}".format(error))

source = Observable.create(push_five_strings)

source.subscribe(PrintObserver())

OUTPUT:

Received Alpha
Received Beta
Received Gamma
Received Delta
Received Epsilon
Done!

Select top 1 result using JPA

Try like this

String sql = "SELECT t FROM table t";
Query query = em.createQuery(sql);
query.setFirstResult(firstPosition);
query.setMaxResults(numberOfRecords);
List result = query.getResultList();

It should work

UPDATE*

You can also try like this

query.setMaxResults(1).getResultList();

z-index not working with fixed positioning

When elements are positioned outside the normal flow, they can overlap other elements.

according to Overlapping Elements section on http://web.archive.org/web/20130501103219/http://w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp

How to subtract days from a plain Date?

Try something like this

dateLimit = (curDate, limit) => {
    offset  = curDate.getDate() + limit
    return new Date( curDate.setDate( offset) )
}

currDate could be any date

limit could be the difference in number of day (positive for future and negative for past)

jQuery get text as number

UITableViewCell, show delete button on swipe

During startup in (-viewDidLoad or in storyboard) do:

self.tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = NO;

Override to support conditional editing of the table view. This only needs to be implemented if you are going to be returning NO for some items. By default, all items are editable.

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    // Return YES if you want the specified item to be editable.
    return YES;
}

// Override to support editing the table view.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
        //add code here for when you hit delete
    }    
}

Adding :default => true to boolean in existing Rails column

change_column is a method of ActiveRecord::Migration, so you can't call it like that in the console.

If you want to add a default value for this column, create a new migration:

rails g migration add_default_value_to_show_attribute

Then in the migration created:

# That's the more generic way to change a column
def up
  change_column :profiles, :show_attribute, :boolean, default: true
end

def down
  change_column :profiles, :show_attribute, :boolean, default: nil
end

OR a more specific option:

def up
    change_column_default :profiles, :show_attribute, true
end

def down
    change_column_default :profiles, :show_attribute, nil
end

Then run rake db:migrate.

It won't change anything to the already created records. To do that you would have to create a rake task or just go in the rails console and update all the records (which I would not recommend in production).

When you added t.boolean :show_attribute, :default => true to the create_profiles migration, it's expected that it didn't do anything. Only migrations that have not already been ran are executed. If you started with a fresh database, then it would set the default to true.

What are the parameters for the number Pipe - Angular 2

  1. Regarding your first question.The pipe works as follows:

    numberValue | number: {minIntegerDigits}.{minFractionDigits}-{maxFractionDigits}

    • minIntegerDigits: Minimum number of integer digits to show before decimal point,set to 1by default
    • minFractionDigits: Minimum number of integer digits to show after the decimal point

    • maxFractionDigits: Maximum number of integer digits to show after the decimal point

2.Regarding your second question, Filter to zero decimal places as follows:

{{ numberValue | number: '1.0-0' }}

How to return first 5 objects of Array in Swift?

For an array of objects you can create an extension from Sequence.

extension Sequence {
    func limit(_ max: Int) -> [Element] {
        return self.enumerated()
            .filter { $0.offset < max }
            .map { $0.element }
    }
}

Usage:

struct Apple {}

let apples: [Apple] = [Apple(), Apple(), Apple()]
let limitTwoApples = apples.limit(2)

// limitTwoApples: [Apple(), Apple()]

How can I check for Python version in a program that uses new language features?

The problem is quite simple. You checked if the version was less than 2.4, not less than or equal to. So if the Python version is 2.4, it's not less than 2.4. What you should have had was:

    if sys.version_info **<=** (2, 4):

, not

    if sys.version_info < (2, 4):

VueJs get url query

Base64 encoding and decoding in oracle

All the previous posts are correct. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Here is another way to do the same thing: (just replace "what_ever_you_want_to_convert" with your string and run it in Oracle:

    set serveroutput on;
    DECLARE
    v_str VARCHAR2(1000);
    BEGIN
    --Create encoded value
    v_str := utl_encode.text_encode
    ('what_ever_you_want_to_convert','WE8ISO8859P1', UTL_ENCODE.BASE64);
    dbms_output.put_line(v_str);
    --Decode the value..
    v_str := utl_encode.text_decode
    (v_str,'WE8ISO8859P1', UTL_ENCODE.BASE64);
    dbms_output.put_line(v_str);
    END;

How to find when a web page was last updated

This is a Pythonic way to do it:

import httplib
import yaml
c = httplib.HTTPConnection(address)
c.request('GET', url_path)
r = c.getresponse()
# get the date into a datetime object
lmd = r.getheader('last-modified')
if lmd != None:
   cur_data = { url: datetime.strptime(lmd, '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z') }
else:
   print "Hmmm, no last-modified data was returned from the URL."
   print "Returned header:"
   print yaml.dump(dict(r.getheaders()), default_flow_style=False)

The rest of the script includes an example of archiving a page and checking for changes against the new version, and alerting someone by email.

Get all non-unique values (i.e.: duplicate/more than one occurrence) in an array

Display more Text in fullcalendar

This code can help you :

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#calendar').fullCalendar({ 
        events: 
            [ 
                { 
                    id: 1, 
                    title: 'First Event', 
                    start: ..., 
                    end: ..., 
                    description: 'first description' 
                }, 
                { 
                    id: 2, 
                    title: 'Second Event', 
                    start: ..., 
                    end: ..., 
                    description: 'second description'
                }
            ], 
        eventRender: function(event, element) { 
            element.find('.fc-title').append("<br/>" + event.description); 
        } 
    });
}   

Count number of rows matching a criteria

  1. mydata$sCode is a vector, it's why nrow output is NULL.
  2. mydata[mydata$sCode == 'CA',] returns data.frame where sCode == 'CA'. sCode includes character. That's why sum gives you the error.
  3. subset(mydata, sCode='CA', select=c(sCode)), you should use sCode=='CA' instead sCode='CA'. Then subset returns you vector where sCode equals CA, so you should use

    length(subset(na.omit(mydata), sCode='CA', select=c(sCode)))

Or you can try this: sum(na.omit(mydata$sCode) == "CA")

Not able to access adb in OS X through Terminal, "command not found"

The problem is: adb is not in your PATH. This is where the shell looks for executables. You can check your current PATH with echo $PATH.

Bash will first try to look for a binary called adb in your Path, and not in the current directory. Therefore, if you are currently in the platform-tools directory, just call

./adb --help

The dot is your current directory, and this tells Bash to use adb from there.

But actually, you should add platform-tools to your PATH, as well as some other tools that the Android SDK comes with. This is how you do it:

  1. Find out where you installed the Android SDK. This might be (where $HOME is your user's home directory) one of the following (or verify via Configure > SDK Manager in the Android Studio startup screen):

    • Linux: $HOME/Android/Sdk
    • macOS: $HOME/Library/Android/sdk
  2. Find out which shell profile to edit, depending on which file is used:

    • Linux: typically $HOME/.bashrc
    • macOS: typically $HOME/.bash_profile
    • With Zsh: $HOME/.zshrc
  3. Open the shell profile from step two, and at the bottom of the file, add the following lines. Make sure to replace the path with the one where you installed platform-tools if it differs:

    export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Android/Sdk"
    export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH"
    
  4. Save the profile file, then, re-start the terminal or run source ~/.bashrc (or whatever you just modified).

Note that setting ANDROID_HOME is required for some third party frameworks, so it does not hurt to add it.

Exception is: InvalidOperationException - The current type, is an interface and cannot be constructed. Are you missing a type mapping?

I had this problem, and the cause was that I had not added the Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb NuGet package to my project. Although the code in my startup class was correct, it was not being executed.

So if you're trying to solve this problem, put a breakpoint in the code where you do the Unity registrations. If you don't hit it, your dependency injection isn't going to work.

Twitter Bootstrap scrollable table rows and fixed header

Just stack two bootstrap tables; one for columns, the other for content. No plugins, just pure bootstrap (and that ain't no bs, haha!)

  <table id="tableHeader" class="table" style="table-layout:fixed">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Col1</th>
                ...
            </tr>
        </thead>
  </table>
  <div style="overflow-y:auto;">
    <table id="tableData" class="table table-condensed" style="table-layout:fixed">
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>data</td>
                ...
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
 </div>

Demo JSFiddle

The content table div needs overflow-y:auto, for vertical scroll bars. Had to use table-layout:fixed, otherwise, columns did not line up. Also, had to put the whole thing inside a bootstrap panel to eliminate space between the tables.

Have not tested with custom column widths, but provided you keep the widths consistent between the tables, it should work.

    // ADD THIS JS FUNCTION TO MATCH UP COL WIDTHS
    $(function () {

        //copy width of header cells to match width of cells with data
        //so they line up properly
        var tdHeader = document.getElementById("tableHeader").rows[0].cells;
        var tdData = document.getElementById("tableData").rows[0].cells;

        for (var i = 0; i < tdData.length; i++)
            tdHeader[i].style.width = tdData[i].offsetWidth + 'px';

    });

Filter array to have unique values

Filtering an array to contain unique values can be achieved using the JavaScript Set and Array.from method, as shown below:

Array.from(new Set(arrayOfNonUniqueValues));

Set

The Set object lets you store unique values of any type, whether primitive values or object references.

Return value A new Set object.

Array.from()

The Array.from() method creates a new Array instance from an array-like or iterable object.

Return value A new Array instance.

Example Code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const array = ["X_row7", "X_row4", "X_row6", "X_row10", "X_row8", "X_row9", "X_row11", "X_row7", "X_row4", "X_row6", "X_row10", "X_row8", "X_row9", "X_row11", "X_row7", "X_row4", "X_row6", "X_row10", "X_row8", "X_row9", "X_row11", "X_row7", "X_row4", "X_row6", "X_row10", "X_row8", "X_row9", "X_row11", "X_row7", "X_row4", "X_row6", "X_row10", "X_row8", "X_row9", "X_row11", "X_row7", "X_row4", "X_row6", "X_row10", "X_row8", "X_row9", "X_row11"]_x000D_
_x000D_
const uniqueArray = Array.from(new Set(array));_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log("uniqueArray: ", uniqueArray);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to determine if OpenSSL and mod_ssl are installed on Apache2

Difference between adjustResize and adjustPan in android?

From the Android Developer Site link

"adjustResize"

The activity's main window is always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen.

"adjustPan"

The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window.

according to your comment, use following in your activity manifest

<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"> </activity>

Drop all tables command

To delete also views add 'view' keyword:

delete from sqlite_master where type in ('view', 'table', 'index', 'trigger');

String representation of an Enum

When I am in a situation like that I propose the solution below.

And as a consuming class you could have

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace MyApp.Dictionaries
{
    class Greek
    {

        public static readonly string Alpha = "Alpha";
        public static readonly string Beta = "Beta";
        public static readonly string Gamma = "Gamma";
        public static readonly string Delta = "Delta";


        private static readonly BiDictionary<int, string> Dictionary = new BiDictionary<int, string>();


        static Greek() {
            Dictionary.Add(1, Alpha);
            Dictionary.Add(2, Beta);
            Dictionary.Add(3, Gamma);
            Dictionary.Add(4, Delta);
        }

        public static string getById(int id){
            return Dictionary.GetByFirst(id);
        }

        public static int getByValue(string value)
        {
            return Dictionary.GetBySecond(value);
        }

    }
}

And using a bidirectional dictionary: Based on this (https://stackoverflow.com/a/255638/986160) assuming that the keys will be associated with single values in the dictionary and similar to (https://stackoverflow.com/a/255630/986160) but a bit more elegant. This dictionary is also enumerable and you can go back and forth from ints to strings. Also you don't have to have any string in your codebase with the exception of this class.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections;

namespace MyApp.Dictionaries
{

    class BiDictionary<TFirst, TSecond> : IEnumerable
    {
        IDictionary<TFirst, TSecond> firstToSecond = new Dictionary<TFirst, TSecond>();
        IDictionary<TSecond, TFirst> secondToFirst = new Dictionary<TSecond, TFirst>();

        public void Add(TFirst first, TSecond second)

How do you change library location in R?

You can edit Rprofile in the base library (in 'C:/Program Files/R.Files/library/base/R' by default) to include code to be run on startup. Append

########        User code        ########
.libPaths('C:/my/dir')

to Rprofile using any text editor (like Notepad) to cause R to add 'C:/my/dir' to the list of libraries it knows about.

(Notepad can't save to Program Files, so save your edited Rprofile somewhere else and then copy it in using Windows Explorer.)

How do I find out if a column exists in a VB.Net DataRow

You can use DataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Contains(name) to check whether the DataTable contains a column with a particular name.

Default visibility for C# classes and members (fields, methods, etc.)?

By default is private. Unless they're nested, classes are internal.

The type initializer for 'MyClass' threw an exception

If for whatever reason the power goes or the Visual Studio IDE crashes it can cause this problem inside your bin/debug bin/release...

Just delete the content and recompile (from personal experience when my toe hit the reset button!)

Can't find bundle for base name

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name
    org.jfree.chart.LocalizationBundle, locale en_US

To the point, the exception message tells in detail that you need to have either of the following files in the classpath:

/org/jfree/chart/LocalizationBundle.properties

or

/org/jfree/chart/LocalizationBundle_en.properties

or

/org/jfree/chart/LocalizationBundle_en_US.properties

Also see the official Java tutorial about resourcebundles for more information.

But as this is actually a 3rd party managed properties file, you shouldn't create one yourself. It should be already available in the JFreeChart JAR file. So ensure that you have it available in the classpath during runtime. Also ensure that you're using the right version, the location of the propertiesfile inside the package tree might have changed per JFreeChart version.

When executing a JAR file, you can use the -cp argument to specify the classpath. E.g.:

java -jar -cp c:/path/to/jfreechart.jar yourfile.jar

Alternatively you can specify the classpath as class-path entry in the JAR's manifest file. You can use in there relative paths which are relative to the JAR file itself. Do not use the %CLASSPATH% environment variable, it's ignored by JAR's and everything else which aren't executed with java.exe without -cp, -classpath and -jar arguments.

Delete empty rows

I believe that your problem is that you're checking for an empty string using double quotes instead of single quotes. Try just changing to:

How to find a parent with a known class in jQuery?

Pass a selector to the jQuery parents function:

d.parents('.a').attr('id')

EDIT Hmm, actually Slaks's answer is superior if you only want the closest ancestor that matches your selector.

Declaring a python function with an array parameters and passing an array argument to the function call?

What you have is on the right track.

def dosomething( thelist ):
    for element in thelist:
        print element

dosomething( ['1','2','3'] )
alist = ['red','green','blue']
dosomething( alist )  

Produces the output:

1
2
3
red
green
blue

A couple of things to note given your comment above: unlike in C-family languages, you often don't need to bother with tracking the index while iterating over a list, unless the index itself is important. If you really do need the index, though, you can use enumerate(list) to get index,element pairs, rather than doing the x in range(len(thelist)) dance.

What is the difference between `let` and `var` in swift?

The

Declaring Constants and Variables section of The Swift Programming Language documentation specifies the following:

You declare constants with the let keyword and variables with the var keyword.

Make sure to understand how this works for Reference types. Unlike Value Types, the object's underlying properties can change despite an instance of a reference type being declared as a constant. See the Classes are Reference Types section of the documentation, and look at the example where they change the frameRate property.

Which versions of SSL/TLS does System.Net.WebRequest support?

This is an important question. The SSL 3 protocol (1996) is irreparably broken by the Poodle attack published 2014. The IETF have published "SSLv3 MUST NOT be used". Web browsers are ditching it. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome have already done so.

Two excellent tools for checking protocol support in browsers are SSL Lab's client test and https://www.howsmyssl.com/ . The latter does not require Javascript, so you can try it from .NET's HttpClient:

// set proxy if you need to
// WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:3128");

File.WriteAllText("howsmyssl-httpclient.html", new HttpClient().GetStringAsync("https://www.howsmyssl.com").Result);

// alternative using WebClient for older framework versions
// new WebClient().DownloadFile("https://www.howsmyssl.com/", "howsmyssl-webclient.html");

The result is damning:

Your client is using TLS 1.0, which is very old, possibly susceptible to the BEAST attack, and doesn't have the best cipher suites available on it. Additions like AES-GCM, and SHA256 to replace MD5-SHA-1 are unavailable to a TLS 1.0 client as well as many more modern cipher suites.

That's concerning. It's comparable to 2006's Internet Explorer 7.

To list exactly which protocols a HTTP client supports, you can try the version-specific test servers below:

var test_servers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
test_servers["SSL 2"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10200";
test_servers["SSL 3"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10300";
test_servers["TLS 1.0"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10301";
test_servers["TLS 1.1"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10302";
test_servers["TLS 1.2"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10303";

var supported = new Func<string, bool>(url =>
{
    try { return new HttpClient().GetAsync(url).Result.IsSuccessStatusCode; }
    catch { return false; }
});

var supported_protocols = test_servers.Where(server => supported(server.Value));
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", supported_protocols.Select(x => x.Key)));

I'm using .NET Framework 4.6.2. I found HttpClient supports only SSL 3 and TLS 1.0. That's concerning. This is comparable to 2006's Internet Explorer 7.


Update: It turns HttpClient does support TLS 1.1 and 1.2, but you have to turn them on manually at System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/26392698/284795

I don't know why it uses bad protocols out-the-box. That seems a poor setup choice, tantamount to a major security bug (I bet plenty of applications don't change the default). How can we report it?

How to pass a querystring or route parameter to AWS Lambda from Amazon API Gateway

The following parameter-mapping example passes all parameters, including path, querystring and header, through to the integration endpoint via a JSON payload

#set($allParams = $input.params())
{
  "params" : {
    #foreach($type in $allParams.keySet())
    #set($params = $allParams.get($type))
    "$type" : {
      #foreach($paramName in $params.keySet())
      "$paramName" : "$util.escapeJavaScript($params.get($paramName))"
      #if($foreach.hasNext),#end
      #end
    }
    #if($foreach.hasNext),#end
    #end
  }
}

In effect, this mapping template outputs all the request parameters in the payload as outlined as follows:

{
  "parameters" : {
     "path" : {    
       "path_name" : "path_value", 
       ...
     }
     "header" : {  
       "header_name" : "header_value",
       ...
     }
     'querystring" : {
       "querystring_name" : "querystring_value",
       ...
     }
   }
}

Extract substring using regexp in plain bash

Using pure :

$ cat file.txt
US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)
$ while read a b time x; do [[ $b == - ]] && echo $time; done < file.txt

another solution with bash regex :

$ [[ "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" =~ -[[:space:]]*([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}) ]] &&
    echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}

another solution using grep and look-around advanced regex :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" | grep -oP "\-\s+\K\d{2}:\d{2}"

another solution using sed :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" |
    sed 's/.*\- *\([0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}\).*/\1/'

another solution using perl :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" |
    perl -lne 'print $& if /\-\s+\K\d{2}:\d{2}/'

and last one using awk :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" |
    awk '{for (i=0; i<=NF; i++){if ($i == "-"){print $(i+1);exit}}}'

Why aren't python nested functions called closures?

Python has a weak support for closure. To see what I mean take the following example of a counter using closure with JavaScript:

function initCounter(){
    var x = 0;
    function counter  () {
        x += 1;
        console.log(x);
    };
    return counter;
}

count = initCounter();

count(); //Prints 1
count(); //Prints 2
count(); //Prints 3

Closure is quite elegant since it gives functions written like this the ability to have "internal memory". As of Python 2.7 this is not possible. If you try

def initCounter():
    x = 0;
    def counter ():
        x += 1 ##Error, x not defined
        print x
    return counter

count = initCounter();

count(); ##Error
count();
count();

You'll get an error saying that x is not defined. But how can that be if it has been shown by others that you can print it? This is because of how Python it manages the functions variable scope. While the inner function can read the outer function's variables, it cannot write them.

This is a shame really. But with just read-only closure you can at least implement the function decorator pattern for which Python offers syntactic sugar.

Update

As its been pointed out, there are ways to deal with python's scope limitations and I'll expose some.

1. Use the global keyword (in general not recommended).

2. In Python 3.x, use the nonlocal keyword (suggested by @unutbu and @leewz)

3. Define a simple modifiable class Object

class Object(object):
    pass

and create an Object scope within initCounter to store the variables

def initCounter ():
    scope = Object()
    scope.x = 0
    def counter():
        scope.x += 1
        print scope.x

    return counter

Since scope is really just a reference, actions taken with its fields do not really modify scope itself, so no error arises.

4. An alternative way, as @unutbu pointed out, would be to define each variable as an array (x = [0]) and modify it's first element (x[0] += 1). Again no error arises because x itself is not modified.

5. As suggested by @raxacoricofallapatorius, you could make x a property of counter

def initCounter ():

    def counter():
        counter.x += 1
        print counter.x

    counter.x = 0
    return counter

Converting string to byte array in C#

Encoding.Default should not be used...

@Randall's answer uses Encoding.Default, however Microsoft raises a warning against it:

Different computers can use different encodings as the default, and the default encoding can change on a single computer. If you use the Default encoding to encode and decode data streamed between computers or retrieved at different times on the same computer, it may translate that data incorrectly. In addition, the encoding returned by the Default property uses best-fit fallback to map unsupported characters to characters supported by the code page. For these reasons, using the default encoding is not recommended. To ensure that encoded bytes are decoded properly, you should use a Unicode encoding, such as UTF8Encoding or UnicodeEncoding. You could also use a higher-level protocol to ensure that the same format is used for encoding and decoding.

To check what the default encoding is, use Encoding.Default.WindowsCodePage (1250 in my case - and sadly, there is no predefined class of CP1250 encoding, but the object could be retrieved as Encoding.GetEncoding(1250)).

...UTF-8 encoding should be used instead...

Encoding.ASCII is 7bit, so it doesn't work either, in my case:

byte[] pass = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("šarže");
Console.WriteLine(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(pass)); // ?ar?e

Following Microsoft's recommendation:

var utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] pass = utf8.GetBytes("šarže");
Console.WriteLine(utf8.GetString(pass)); // šarže

Encoding.UTF8 recommended by others is an instance uf UTF-8 encoding and can be also used directly or as

var utf8 = Encoding.UTF8 as UTF8Encoding;

...but it is not used always

Default encoding is misleading: .NET uses UTF-8 everywhere (including strings hardcoded in the source code), but Windows actually uses 2 other non-UTF8 non-standard defaults: ANSI codepage (for GUI apps before .NET) and OEM codepage (aka DOS standard). These differs from country to country (for instance, Windows Czech edition uses CP1250 and CP852) and are oftentimes hardcoded in windows API libraries. So if you just set UTF-8 to console by chcp 65001 (as .NET implicitly does and pretends it is the default) and run some localized command (like ping), it works in English version, but you get tofu text in Czech Republic.

Let me share my real world experience: I created WinForms application customizing git scripts for teachers. The output is obtained on the background anynchronously by a process described by Microsoft as (bold text added by me):

The word "shell" in this context (UseShellExecute) refers to a graphical shell (ANSI CP) (similar to the Windows shell) rather than command shells (for example, bash or sh) (OEM CP) and lets users launch graphical applications or open documents (with messed output in non-US environment).

So effectively GUI defaults to UTF-8, process defaults to CP1250 and console defaults to 852. So the output is in 852 interpreted as UTF-8 interpreted as CP1250. I got tofu text from which I could not deduce the original codepage due to the double conversion. I was pulling my hair for a week to figure out to explicitly set UTF-8 for process script and convert the output from CP1250 to UTF-8 in the main thread. Now it works here in the Eastern Europe, but Western Europe Windows uses 1252. ANSI CP is not determined easily as many commands like systeminfo are also localized and other methods differs from version to version: in such environment displaying national characters reliably is almost unfeasible.

So until the half of 21st century, please DO NOT use any "Default Codepage" and set it explicitly (to UTF-8 if possible).

JavaScript window resize event

Solution for 2018+:

You should use ResizeObserver. It is a browser-native solution that has a much better performance than to use the resize event. In addition, it not only supports the event on the document but also on arbitrary elements.

var ro = new ResizeObserver( entries => {
  for (let entry of entries) {
    const cr = entry.contentRect;
    console.log('Element:', entry.target);
    console.log(`Element size: ${cr.width}px x ${cr.height}px`);
    console.log(`Element padding: ${cr.top}px ; ${cr.left}px`);
  }
});

// Observe one or multiple elements
ro.observe(someElement);

Currently, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge support it. For other (and older) browsers you have to use a polyfill.

This error message comes specifically from the XDebug extension. PHP itself does not have a function nesting limit. Change the setting in your php.ini:

xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200

or in your PHP code:

ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 200);

As for if you really need to change it (i.e.: if there's a alternative solution to a recursive function), I can't tell without the code.

Why is it said that "HTTP is a stateless protocol"?

I think somebody chose very unfortunate name for STATELESS concept and that's why the whole misunderstanding is caused. It's not about storing any kind of resources, but rather about the relationship between the client and the server.

Client: I'm keeping all the resources on my side and send you the "list" of all the important items which need to processed. Do your job.

Server: All right.. let me take the responsibility on filtering what's important to give you the proper response.

Which means that the server is the "slave" of the client and has to forget about his "master" after each request. Actually, STATELESS refers only to the state of the server.

Show datalist labels but submit the actual value

The solution I use is the following:

<input list="answers" id="answer">
<datalist id="answers">
  <option data-value="42" value="The answer">
</datalist>

Then access the value to be sent to the server using JavaScript like this:

var shownVal = document.getElementById("answer").value;
var value2send = document.querySelector("#answers option[value='"+shownVal+"']").dataset.value;


Hope it helps.

How can I find non-ASCII characters in MySQL?

MySQL provides comprehensive character set management that can help with this kind of problem.

SELECT whatever
  FROM tableName 
 WHERE columnToCheck <> CONVERT(columnToCheck USING ASCII)

The CONVERT(col USING charset) function turns the unconvertable characters into replacement characters. Then, the converted and unconverted text will be unequal.

See this for more discussion. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/charset-repertoire.html

You can use any character set name you wish in place of ASCII. For example, if you want to find out which characters won't render correctly in code page 1257 (Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian) use CONVERT(columnToCheck USING cp1257)

ASP.NET MVC3 Razor - Html.ActionLink style

Reviving an old question because it seems to appear at the top of search results.

I wanted to retain transition effects while still being able to style the actionlink so I came up with this solution.

  1. I wrapped the action link with a div that would contain the parent style:
<div class="parent-style-one">
      @Html.ActionLink("Homepage", "Home", "Home")
</div>
  1. Next I create the CSS for the div, this will be the parent css and will be inherited by the child elements such as the action link.
  .parent-style-one {
     /* your styles here */
  }
  1. Because all an action link is, is an element when broken down as html so you just need to target that element in your css selection:
  .parent-style-one a {
     text-decoration: none;
  }
  1. For transition effects I did this:
  .parent-style-one a:hover {
        text-decoration: underline;
        -webkit-transition-duration: 1.1s; /* Safari */
        transition-duration: 1.1s;         
  }

This way I only target the child elements of the div in this case the action link and still be able to apply transition effects.

How to create a byte array in C++?

You could use Qt which, in case you don't know, is C++ with a bunch of additional libraries and classes and whatnot. Qt has a very convenient QByteArray class which I'm quite sure would suit your needs.

Change x axes scale in matplotlib

The scalar formatter supports collecting the exponents. The docs are as follows:

class matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter(useOffset=True, useMathText=False, useLocale=None) Bases: matplotlib.ticker.Formatter

Tick location is a plain old number. If useOffset==True and the data range is much smaller than the data average, then an offset will be determined such that the tick labels are meaningful. Scientific notation is used for data < 10^-n or data >= 10^m, where n and m are the power limits set using set_powerlimits((n,m)). The defaults for these are controlled by the axes.formatter.limits rc parameter.

your technique would be:

from matplotlib.ticker import ScalarFormatter
xfmt = ScalarFormatter()
xfmt.set_powerlimits((-3,3))  # Or whatever your limits are . . .
{{ Make your plot }}
gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(xfmt)

To get the exponent displayed in the format x10^5, instantiate the ScalarFormatter with useMathText=True.

After Image

You could also use:

xfmt.set_useOffset(10000)

To get a result like this:

Visual Studio popup: "the operation could not be completed"

"The operation could not be completed" error can also be caused by a C++ project referencing another project that no longer exists in the solution.

Normally, when you remove a project from a solution, Visual Studio removes any references to it from other projects in the solution.

In my case, however, I was sharing projects between solutions hence a bad project reference managed to sneak in, and deleting the bad references fixed the error.

Using Visual Studio 2012.

How to make a browser display a "save as dialog" so the user can save the content of a string to a file on his system?

There is a new spec called the Native File System API that allows you to do this properly like this:

const result = await window.chooseFileSystemEntries({ type: "save-file" });

There is a demo here, but I believe it is using an origin trial so it may not work in your own website unless you sign up or enable a config flag, and it obviously only works in Chrome. If you're making an Electron app this might be an option though.

How to find char in string and get all the indexes?

Lev's answer is the one I'd use, however here's something based on your original code:

def find(str, ch):
    for i, ltr in enumerate(str):
        if ltr == ch:
            yield i

>>> list(find("ooottat", "o"))
[0, 1, 2]

JavaScript: get code to run every minute

You could use setInterval for this.

<script type="text/javascript">

}

var interval = setInterval(function () { myFunction(); }, 60000);
</script>

Disable the timer by setting clearInterval(interval).

What does it mean when an HTTP request returns status code 0?

In my case the status became 0 when i would forget to put the WWW in front of my domain. Because all my ajax requests were hardcoded http:/WWW.mydomain.com and the webpage loaded would just be http://mydomain.com it became a security issue because its a different domain. I ended up doing a redirect in my .htaccess file to always put www in front.

How do I perform the SQL Join equivalent in MongoDB?

$lookup (aggregation)

Performs a left outer join to an unsharded collection in the same database to filter in documents from the “joined” collection for processing. To each input document, the $lookup stage adds a new array field whose elements are the matching documents from the “joined” collection. The $lookup stage passes these reshaped documents to the next stage. The $lookup stage has the following syntaxes:

Equality Match

To perform an equality match between a field from the input documents with a field from the documents of the “joined” collection, the $lookup stage has the following syntax:

{
   $lookup:
     {
       from: <collection to join>,
       localField: <field from the input documents>,
       foreignField: <field from the documents of the "from" collection>,
       as: <output array field>
     }
}

The operation would correspond to the following pseudo-SQL statement:

SELECT *, <output array field>
FROM collection
WHERE <output array field> IN (SELECT <documents as determined from the pipeline>
                               FROM <collection to join>
                               WHERE <pipeline> );

Wait until page is loaded with Selenium WebDriver for Python

Trying to pass find_element_by_id to the constructor for presence_of_element_located (as shown in the accepted answer) caused NoSuchElementException to be raised. I had to use the syntax in fragles' comment:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('url')
timeout = 5
try:
    element_present = EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'element_id'))
    WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(element_present)
except TimeoutException:
    print "Timed out waiting for page to load"

This matches the example in the documentation. Here is a link to the documentation for By.

Algorithm to detect overlapping periods

Try this. This method will determine if (two) date spans are overlapping, regardless of the ordering of the method's input arguments. This can also be used with more than two date spans, by individually checking each date span combination (ex. with 3 date spans, run span1 against span2, span2 against span3, and span1 against span3):

public static class HelperFunctions
{
    public static bool AreSpansOverlapping(Tuple<DateTime,DateTime> span1, Tuple<DateTime,DateTime> span2, bool includeEndPoints)
    {
        if (span1 == null || span2 == null)
        {
            return false;
        }
        else if ((new DateTime[] { span1.Item1, span1.Item2, span2.Item1, span2.Item2 }).Any(v => v == DateTime.MinValue))
        {
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            if (span1.Item1 > span1.Item2)
            {
                span1 = new Tuple<DateTime, DateTime>(span1.Item2, span1.Item1);
            }
            if (span2.Item1 > span2.Item2)
            {
                span2 = new Tuple<DateTime, DateTime>(span2.Item2, span2.Item1);
            }

            if (includeEndPoints)
            {
                return 
                ((
                    (span1.Item1 <= span2.Item1 && span1.Item2 >= span2.Item1) 
                    || (span1.Item1 <= span2.Item2 && span1.Item2 >= span2.Item2)
                ) || (
                    (span2.Item1 <= span1.Item1 && span2.Item2 >= span1.Item1) 
                    || (span2.Item1 <= span1.Item2 && span2.Item2 >= span1.Item2)
                ));
            }
            else

                return 
                ((
                    (span1.Item1 < span2.Item1 && span1.Item2 > span2.Item1) 
                    || (span1.Item1 < span2.Item2 && span1.Item2 > span2.Item2)
                ) || (
                    (span2.Item1 < span1.Item1 && span2.Item2 > span1.Item1)

How can I make a SQL temp table with primary key and auto-incrementing field?

You are just missing the words "primary key" as far as I can see to meet your specified objective.

For your other columns it's best to explicitly define whether they should be NULL or NOT NULL though so you are not relying on the ANSI_NULL_DFLT_ON setting.

CREATE TABLE #tmp
(
ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) primary key ,
AssignedTo NVARCHAR(100),
AltBusinessSeverity NVARCHAR(100),
DefectCount int
);

insert into #tmp 
select 'user','high',5 union all
select 'user','med',4


select * from #tmp

How to loop through array in jQuery?


(Update: My other answer here lays out the non-jQuery options much more thoroughly. The third option below, jQuery.each, isn't in it though.)


Four options:

Generic loop:

var i;
for (i = 0; i < substr.length; ++i) {
    // do something with `substr[i]`
}

or in ES2015+:

for (let i = 0; i < substr.length; ++i) {
    // do something with `substr[i]`
}

Advantages: Straight-forward, no dependency on jQuery, easy to understand, no issues with preserving the meaning of this within the body of the loop, no unnecessary overhead of function calls (e.g., in theory faster, though in fact you'd have to have so many elements that the odds are you'd have other problems; details).

ES5's forEach:

As of ECMAScript5, arrays have a forEach function on them which makes it easy to loop through the array:

substr.forEach(function(item) {
    // do something with `item`
});

Link to docs

(Note: There are lots of other functions, not just forEach; see the answer referenced above for details.)

Advantages: Declarative, can use a prebuilt function for the iterator if you have one handy, if your loop body is complex the scoping of a function call is sometimes useful, no need for an i variable in your containing scope.

Disadvantages: If you're using this in the containing code and you want to use this within your forEach callback, you have to either A) Stick it in a variable so you can use it within the function, B) Pass it as a second argument to forEach so forEach sets it as this during the callback, or C) Use an ES2015+ arrow function, which closes over this. If you don't do one of those things, in the callback this will be undefined (in strict mode) or the global object (window) in loose mode. There used to be a second disadvantage that forEach wasn't universally supported, but here in 2018, the only browser you're going to run into that doesn't have forEach is IE8 (and it can't be properly polyfilled there, either).

ES2015+'s for-of:

for (const s of substr) { // Or `let` if you want to modify it in the loop body
    // do something with `s`
}

See the answer linked at the top of this answer for details on how that works.

Advantages: Simple, straightforward, offers a contained-scope variable (or constant, in the above) for the entry from the array.

Disadvantages: Not supported in any version of IE.

jQuery.each:

jQuery.each(substr, function(index, item) {
    // do something with `item` (or `this` is also `item` if you like)
});

(Link to docs)

Advantages: All of the same advantages as forEach, plus you know it's there since you're using jQuery.

Disadvantages: If you're using this in the containing code, you have to stick it in a variable so you can use it within the function, since this means something else within the function.

You can avoid the this thing though, by either using $.proxy:

jQuery.each(substr, $.proxy(function(index, item) {
    // do something with `item` (`this` is the same as it was outside)
}, this));

...or Function#bind:

jQuery.each(substr, function(index, item) {
    // do something with `item` (`this` is the same as it was outside)
}.bind(this));

...or in ES2015 ("ES6"), an arrow function:

jQuery.each(substr, (index, item) => {
    // do something with `item` (`this` is the same as it was outside)
});

What NOT to do:

Don't use for..in for this (or if you do, do it with proper safeguards). You'll see people saying to (in fact, briefly there was an answer here saying that), but for..in does not do what many people think it does (it does something even more useful!). Specifically, for..in loops through the enumerable property names of an object (not the indexes of an array). Since arrays are objects, and their only enumerable properties by default are the indexes, it mostly seems to sort of work in a bland deployment. But it's not a safe assumption that you can just use it for that. Here's an exploration: http://jsbin.com/exohi/3

I should soften the "don't" above. If you're dealing with sparse arrays (e.g., the array has 15 elements in total but their indexes are strewn across the range 0 to 150,000 for some reason, and so the length is 150,001), and if you use appropriate safeguards like hasOwnProperty and checking the property name is really numeric (see link above), for..in can be a perfectly reasonable way to avoid lots of unnecessary loops, since only the populated indexes will be enumerated.

How to search a string in String array

If the array is sorted, you can use BinarySearch. This is a O(log n) operation, so it is faster as looping. If you need to apply multiple searches and speed is a concern, you could sort it (or a copy) before using it.

Easy interview question got harder: given numbers 1..100, find the missing number(s) given exactly k are missing

Yet another way is using residual graph filtering.

Suppose we have numbers 1 to 4 and 3 is missing. The binary representation is the following,

1 = 001b, 2 = 010b, 3 = 011b, 4 = 100b

And I can create a flow-graph like the following.

                   1
             1 -------------> 1
             |                | 
      2      |     1          |
0 ---------> 1 ----------> 0  |
|                          |  |
|     1            1       |  |
0 ---------> 0 ----------> 0  |
             |                |
      1      |      1         |
1 ---------> 0 -------------> 1

Note that the flow graph contains x nodes, while x being the number of bits. And the maximum number of edges are (2*x)-2 .

So for 32 bit integer it will take O(32) space or O(1) space.

Now if I remove capacity for each number starting from 1,2,4 then I am left with a residual graph.

0 ----------> 1 ---------> 1

Finally I shall run a loop like the following,

 result = []
 for x in range(1,n):
     exists_path_in_residual_graph(x)
     result.append(x)

Now the result is in result contains numbers that are not missing as well(false positive). But the k <= (size of the result) <= n when there are k missing elements.

I shall go through the given list one last time to mark the result missing or not.

So the time complexity will be O(n) .

Finally, it is possible to reduce the number of false positive(and the space required) by taking nodes 00,01,11,10 instead of just 0 and 1.

How to check if all elements of a list matches a condition?

You could use itertools's takewhile like this, it will stop once a condition is met that fails your statement. The opposite method would be dropwhile

for x in itertools.takewhile(lambda x: x[2] == 0, list)
    print x

How to accept Date params in a GET request to Spring MVC Controller?

Below solution perfectly works for spring boot application.

Controller:

@GetMapping("user/getAllInactiveUsers")
List<User> getAllInactiveUsers(@RequestParam("date") @DateTimeFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") Date dateTime) {
    return userRepository.getAllInactiveUsers(dateTime);
}

So in the caller (in my case its a web flux), we need to pass date time in this("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") format.

Caller Side:

public Flux<UserDto> getAllInactiveUsers(String dateTime) {
    Flux<UserDto> userDto = RegistryDBService.getDbWebClient(dbServiceUrl).get()
            .uri("/user/getAllInactiveUsers?date={dateTime}", dateTime).retrieve()
            .bodyToFlux(User.class).map(UserDto::of);
    return userDto;
}

Repository:

@Query("SELECT u from User u  where u.validLoginDate < ?1 AND u.invalidLoginDate < ?1 and u.status!='LOCKED'")
List<User> getAllInactiveUsers(Date dateTime);

Rename multiple files in a directory in Python

This sort of stuff is perfectly fitted for IPython, which has shell integration.

In [1] files = !ls
In [2] for f in files:
           newname = process_filename(f)
           mv $f $newname

Note: to store this in a script, use the .ipy extension, and prefix all shell commands with !.

How to use systemctl in Ubuntu 14.04

I ran across this while on a hunt for answers myself after attempting to follow a guide using pm2. The goal is to automatically start a node.js application on a server. Some guides call out using pm2 startup systemd, which is the path that leads to the question of using systemctl on Ubuntu 14.04. Instead, use pm2 startup ubuntu.

Pyinstaller setting icons don't change

I think this might have something to do with caching (possibly in Windows Explorer). I was having the old PyInstaller icon show up in a few places too, but when I copied the exe somewhere else, all the old icons were gone.

Targeting only Firefox with CSS

OK, I've found it. This is probably the cleanest and easiest solution out there and does not rely on JavaScript being turned on.

_x000D_
_x000D_
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
  h1 {
    color: red;
  }
}
_x000D_
<h1>This should be red in FF</h1>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

It's based on yet another Mozilla specific CSS extension. There's a whole list for these CSS extensions right here: Mozilla CSS Extensions.

I'm getting Key error in python

A KeyError generally means the key doesn't exist. So, are you sure the path key exists?

From the official python docs:

exception KeyError

Raised when a mapping (dictionary) key is not found in the set of existing keys.

For example:

>>> mydict = {'a':'1','b':'2'}
>>> mydict['a']
'1'
>>> mydict['c']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'c'
>>>

So, try to print the content of meta_entry and check whether path exists or not.

>>> mydict = {'a':'1','b':'2'}
>>> print mydict
{'a': '1', 'b': '2'}

Or, you can do:

>>> 'a' in mydict
True
>>> 'c' in mydict
False

Linux configure/make, --prefix?

In my situation, --prefix= failed to update the path correctly under some warnings or failures. please see the below link for the answer. https://stackoverflow.com/a/50208379/1283198

Adding a HTTP header to the Angular HttpClient doesn't send the header, why?

set http headers like below in your http request

return this.http.get(url, { headers: new HttpHeaders({'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token})

Proper way to initialize a C# dictionary with values?

You can initialize a Dictionary (and other collections) inline. Each member is contained with braces:

Dictionary<int, StudentName> students = new Dictionary<int, StudentName>
{
    { 111, new StudentName { FirstName = "Sachin", LastName = "Karnik", ID = 211 } },
    { 112, new StudentName { FirstName = "Dina", LastName = "Salimzianova", ID = 317 } },
    { 113, new StudentName { FirstName = "Andy", LastName = "Ruth", ID = 198 } }
};

See Microsoft Docs for details.

How to center an image horizontally and align it to the bottom of the container?

Remove the position: relative; line. I'm not sure why exactly but it fixes it for me.

Add custom headers to WebView resource requests - android

You should be able to control all your headers by skipping loadUrl and writing your own loadPage using Java's HttpURLConnection. Then use the webview's loadData to display the response.

There is no access to the headers which Google provides. They are in a JNI call, deep in the WebView source.

How to get history on react-router v4?

In App.js

 import {useHistory } from "react-router-dom";

 const TheContext = React.createContext(null);

 const App = () => {
   const history = useHistory();

   <TheContext.Provider value={{ history, user }}>

    <Switch>
        <Route exact path="/" render={(props) => <Home {...props} />} />
        <Route
          exact
          path="/sign-up"
          render={(props) => <SignUp {...props} setUser={setUser} />}
        /> ...

Then in a child component :

const Welcome = () => {
    
    const {user, history} = React.useContext(TheContext); 
    ....

Add onClick event to document.createElement("th")

var newTH = document.createElement('th');

angular.min.js.map not found, what is it exactly?

As eaon21 and monkey said, source map files basically turn minified code into its unminified version for debugging.

You can find the .map files here. Just add them into the same directory as the minified js files and it'll stop complaining. The reason they get fetched is the

/*
//@ sourceMappingURL=angular.min.js.map
*/

at the end of angular.min.js. If you don't want to add the .map files you can remove those lines and it'll stop the fetch attempt, but if you plan on debugging it's always good to keep the source maps linked.

What is the difference between signed and unsigned int

int and unsigned int are two distinct integer types. (int can also be referred to as signed int, or just signed; unsigned int can also be referred to as unsigned.)

As the names imply, int is a signed integer type, and unsigned int is an unsigned integer type. That means that int is able to represent negative values, and unsigned int can represent only non-negative values.

The C language imposes some requirements on the ranges of these types. The range of int must be at least -32767 .. +32767, and the range of unsigned int must be at least 0 .. 65535. This implies that both types must be at least 16 bits. They're 32 bits on many systems, or even 64 bits on some. int typically has an extra negative value due to the two's-complement representation used by most modern systems.

Perhaps the most important difference is the behavior of signed vs. unsigned arithmetic. For signed int, overflow has undefined behavior. For unsigned int, there is no overflow; any operation that yields a value outside the range of the type wraps around, so for example UINT_MAX + 1U == 0U.

Any integer type, either signed or unsigned, models a subrange of the infinite set of mathematical integers. As long as you're working with values within the range of a type, everything works. When you approach the lower or upper bound of a type, you encounter a discontinuity, and you can get unexpected results. For signed integer types, the problems occur only for very large negative and positive values, exceeding INT_MIN and INT_MAX. For unsigned integer types, problems occur for very large positive values and at zero. This can be a source of bugs. For example, this is an infinite loop:

for (unsigned int i = 10; i >= 0; i --) [
    printf("%u\n", i);
}

because i is always greater than or equal to zero; that's the nature of unsigned types. (Inside the loop, when i is zero, i-- sets its value to UINT_MAX.)

How to create multidimensional array

I've written a one linear for this:

[1, 3, 1, 4, 1].reduceRight((x, y) => new Array(y).fill().map(() => JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(x))), 0);

I feel however I can spend more time to make a JSON.parse(JSON.stringify())-free version which is used for cloning here.

Btw, have a look at my another answer here.

What's the best mock framework for Java?

I used JMock early. I've tried Mockito at my last project and liked it. More concise, more cleaner. PowerMock covers all needs which are absent in Mockito, such as mocking a static code, mocking an instance creation, mocking final classes and methods. So I have all I need to perform my work.

How to exclude particular class name in CSS selector?

One way is to use the multiple class selector (no space as that is the descendant selector):

_x000D_
_x000D_
.reMode_hover:not(.reMode_selected):hover _x000D_
{_x000D_
   background-color: #f0ac00;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<a href="" title="Design" class="reMode_design  reMode_hover">_x000D_
    <span>Design</span>_x000D_
</a>_x000D_
_x000D_
<a href="" title="Design" _x000D_
 class="reMode_design  reMode_hover reMode_selected">_x000D_

Gradients in Internet Explorer 9

The code I use for all browser gradients:

background: #0A284B;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#0A284B), to(#135887));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#0A284B, #135887);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #0A284B, #135887);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(#0A284B, #135887);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#0A284B, #135887);
background: linear-gradient(#0A284B, #135887);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#0A284B', endColorstr='#135887');
zoom: 1;

You will need to specify a height or zoom: 1 to apply hasLayout to the element for this to work in IE.


Update:

Here is a LESS Mixin (CSS) version for all you LESS users out there:

.gradient(@start, @end) {
    background: mix(@start, @end, 50%);
    filter: ~"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr="@start~", EndColorStr="@end~")";
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(@start), to(@end));
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(@start, @end);
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, @start, @end);
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(@start, @end);
    background: -o-linear-gradient(@start, @end);
    background: linear-gradient(@start, @end);
    zoom: 1;

What's the complete range for Chinese characters in Unicode?

The exact ranges for Chinese characters (except the extensions) are [\u2E80-\u2FD5\u3190-\u319f\u3400-\u4DBF\u4E00-\u9FCC\uF900-\uFAAD].

  1. [\u2e80-\u2fd5]

CJK Radicals Supplement is a Unicode block containing alternative, often positional, forms of the Kangxi radicals. They are used headers in dictionary indices and other CJK ideograph collections organized by radical-stroke.

  1. [\u3190-\u319f]

Kanbun is a Unicode block containing annotation characters used in Japanese copies of classical Chinese texts, to indicate reading order.

  1. [\u3400-\u4DBF]

CJK Unified Ideographs Extension-A is a Unicode block containing rare Han ideographs.

  1. [\u4E00-\u9FCC]

CJK Unified Ideographs is a Unicode block containing the most common CJK ideographs used in modern Chinese and Japanese.

  1. [\uF900-\uFAAD]

CJK Compatibility Ideographs is a Unicode block created to contain Han characters that were encoded in multiple locations in other established character encodings, in addition to their CJK Unified Ideographs assignments, in order to retain round-trip compatibility between Unicode and those encodings.

For the details please refer to here, and the extensions are provided in other answers.

JavaScript: how to change form action attribute value based on selection?

It's better to use

$('#search-form').setAttribute('action', '/controllerName/actionName');

rather than

$('#search-form').attr('action', '/controllerName/actionName');

So, based on trante's answer we have:

$('#search-form').submit(function() {
    var formAction = $("#selectsearch").val() == "people" ? "user" : "content";
    $("#search-form").setAttribute("action", "/search/" + formAction);
}); 

Using setAttribute can save you a lot of time potentially.

Convert xlsx to csv in Linux with command line

In bash, I used this libreoffice command to convert all my xlsx files in the current directory:

for i   in *.xlsx; do  libreoffice --headless --convert-to csv "$i" ; done

It takes care of spaces in the filename.

Tried again some years later, and it didn't work. This thread gives some tips, but the quickiest solution was to run as root (or running a sudo libreoffice). Not elegant, but quick.

<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-twitter-square fa-4x"></i></a>
<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-4x"></i></a>

Note: Replace href="your link here" with your desired link e.g. href="https://www.stackoverflow.com".

What is the apply function in Scala?

It comes from the idea that you often want to apply something to an object. The more accurate example is the one of factories. When you have a factory, you want to apply parameter to it to create an object.

Scala guys thought that, as it occurs in many situation, it could be nice to have a shortcut to call apply. Thus when you give parameters directly to an object, it's desugared as if you pass these parameters to the apply function of that object:

class MyAdder(x: Int) {
  def apply(y: Int) = x + y
}

val adder = new MyAdder(2)
val result = adder(4) // equivalent to x.apply(4)

It's often use in companion object, to provide a nice factory method for a class or a trait, here is an example:

trait A {
  val x: Int
  def myComplexStrategy: Int
}

object A {
  def apply(x: Int): A = new MyA(x)

  private class MyA(val x: Int) extends A {
    val myComplexStrategy = 42
  }
}

From the scala standard library, you might look at how scala.collection.Seq is implemented: Seq is a trait, thus new Seq(1, 2) won't compile but thanks to companion object and apply, you can call Seq(1, 2) and the implementation is chosen by the companion object.

How to do select from where x is equal to multiple values?

And even simpler using IN:

SELECT ads.*, location.county 
  FROM ads
  LEFT JOIN location ON location.county = ads.county_id
  WHERE ads.published = 1 
        AND ads.type = 13
        AND ads.county_id IN (2,5,7,9)

Greater than and less than in one statement

Simple utility method:

public static boolean isBetween(int value, int min, int max)
{
  return((value > min) && (value < max));
}

C# How can I check if a URL exists/is valid?

If I understand your question correctly, you could use a small method like this to give you the results of your URL test:

WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(url);  
WebResponse webResponse;
try 
{
  webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();
}
catch //If exception thrown then couldn't get response from address
{
  return 0;
} 
return 1;

You could wrap the above code in a method and use it to perform validation. I hope this answers the question you were asking.

Difference in System. exit(0) , System.exit(-1), System.exit(1 ) in Java

exit(0) generally used to indicate successful termination. exit(1) or exit(-1) or any other non-zero value indicates unsuccessful termination in general.

How to control size of list-style-type disc in CSS?

Since I don't know how to control only the list marker size with CSS and no one's offered this yet, you can use :before content to generate the bullets:

li {
    list-style: none;
    font-size: 20px;
}

li:before {
    content:"·";
    font-size:120px;
    vertical-align:middle;
    line-height:20px;
}

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/4wDL5/

The markers are limited to appearing "inside" with this particular CSS, although you could change it. It's definitely not the best option (browser must support generated content, so no IE6 or 7), but it might be the easiest - plus you can choose any character you want for the marker.

If you go the image route, see list-style-image.

What is class="mb-0" in Bootstrap 4?

Bootstrap 4

Class method differences in Python: bound, unbound and static

method_two won't work because you're defining a member function but not telling it what the function is a member of. If you execute the last line you'll get:

>>> a_test.method_two()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: method_two() takes no arguments (1 given)

If you're defining member functions for a class the first argument must always be 'self'.

How would you do a "not in" query with LINQ?

You can use a combination of Where and Any for finding not in:

var NotInRecord =list1.Where(p => !list2.Any(p2 => p2.Email  == p.Email));

How to check if a string contains only digits in Java

You must allow for more than a digit (the + sign) as in:

String regex = "[0-9]+"; 
String data = "23343453"; 
System.out.println(data.matches(regex));

jQuery if statement, syntax

You can wrap jQuery calls inside normal JavaScript code. So, for example:

$(document).ready(function() {
    if (someCondition && someOtherCondition) {
        // Make some jQuery call.
    }
});

How to extract extension from filename string in Javascript?

Better to use the following; Works always!

var ext =  fileName.split('.').pop();

This will return the extension without a dot prefix. You can add "." + ext to check against the extensions you wish to support!

Can a constructor in Java be private?

Can a constructor be private? How is a private constructor useful?

Yes it can. I consider this another example of it being useful:

//... ErrorType.java
public enum ErrorType {
    X,
    Y,
    Z
}

//... ErrorTypeException.java
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

//Translates ErrorTypes only
abstract public class ErrorTypeException extends Exception {
    private ErrorTypeException(){}

    //I don't want to expose thse
    static private class Xx extends ErrorTypeException {}
    static private class Yx extends ErrorTypeException {}
    static private class Zx extends ErrorTypeException {}

    // Want translation without exposing underlying type
    public static Exception from(ErrorType errorType) {
        switch (errorType) {
            case X:
                return new Xx();    
            case Y:
                return new Yx();
            default:
                return new Zx();
        }
    }

    // Want to get hold of class without exposing underlying type
    public static Class<? extends ErrorTypeException> toExceptionClass(ErrorType errorType) {
        switch (errorType) {
            case X:
                return Xx.class;    
            case Y:
                return Yx.class;
            default:
                return Zx.class;
        }
    }
}

In the case here above, it prevents the abstract class from being instantiated by any derived class other than it's static inner classes. Abstract classes cannot be final, but in this case the private constructor makes it effectively final to all classes that aren't inner classes
