Network framework in the core services for iOS & Mac OS X

What's the net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR about?

In my case (nginx on windows proxying an app while serving static assets on its own) page was showing multiple assets including 14 bigger pictures; those errors were shown for about 5 of those images exactly after 60 seconds; in my case it was a default send_timeout of 60s making those image requests fail; increasing the send_timeout made it work

I am not sure what is causing nginx on windows to serve those files so slow - it is only 11.5MB of resources which takes nginx almost 2 minutes to serve but I guess it is subject for another thread

iOS 11, 12, and 13 installed certificates not trusted automatically (self signed)

If you are not seeing the certificate under General->About->Certificate Trust Settings, then you probably do not have the ROOT CA installed. Very important -- needs to be a ROOT CA, not an intermediary CA.

I just answered a question here explaining how to obtain the ROOT CA and get things to show up: How to install self-signed certificates in iOS 11

NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed on iOS 9

Apple's Technote on App Transport Security is very handy; it helped us find a more secure solution to our issue.

Hopefully this will help someone else. We were having issues connecting to Amazon S3 URLs that appeared to be perfectly valid, TLSv12 HTTPS URLs. Turns out we had to disable NSExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy to enable another handful of ciphers that S3 uses.

In our Info.plist:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
  <dict>
    <key>amazonaws.com</key>
    <dict>
      <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
      <true/>
      <key>NSExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
      <false/>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</dict>

CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed iOS 9

In iOS 10+, the TLS string MUST be of the form "TLSv1.0". It can't just be "1.0". (Sigh)


The following combination of the other Answers works.

Let's say you are trying to connect to a host (YOUR_HOST.COM) that only has TLS 1.0.

Add these to your app's Info.plist

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>YOUR_HOST.COM</key>
        <dict>

Undefined symbols for architecture i386

Add the framework required for the method used in the project target in the "Link Binaries With Libraries" list of Build Phases, it will work easily. Like I have imported to my project

QuartzCore.framework

For the bug

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:

Apple Mach-O Linker Error when compiling for device

I had the same problem, and I solved it. In my case, "architectures" setting caused the problem. In my project file, Build Settings tab, Architectures were set to armv6. I changed it to Standard(armv7), do clean and build. Then it worked!

symbol(s) not found for architecture i386

Thought to add my solution for this, after spending a few hours on the same error :(

The guys above were correct that the first thing you should check is whether you had missed adding any frameworks, see the steps provided by Pruthvid above.

My problem, it turned out, was a compile class missing after I deleted it, and later added it back in again.

Check your "Compile Sources" as shown for the reported error classes. Add in any missing classes that you created.

How do I check if there are duplicates in a flat list?

Use set() to remove duplicates if all values are hashable:

>>> your_list = ['one', 'two', 'one']
>>> len(your_list) != len(set(your_list))
True

Generate a random number in a certain range in MATLAB

You can also use:

round(mod(rand.*max,max-1))+min

How can I check if character in a string is a letter? (Python)

I found a good way to do this with using a function and basic code. This is a code that accepts a string and counts the number of capital letters, lowercase letters and also 'other'. Other is classed as a space, punctuation mark or even Japanese and Chinese characters.

def check(count):

    lowercase = 0
    uppercase = 0
    other = 0

    low = 'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'
    upper = 'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'



    for n in count:
        if n in low:
            lowercase += 1
        elif n in upper:
            uppercase += 1
        else:
            other += 1

    print("There are " + str(lowercase) + " lowercase letters.")
    print("There are " + str(uppercase) + " uppercase letters.")
    print("There are " + str(other) + " other elements to this sentence.")

Node.js setting up environment specific configs to be used with everyauth

The way we do this is by passing an argument in when starting the app with the environment. For instance:

node app.js -c dev

In app.js we then load dev.js as our configuration file. You can parse these options with optparse-js.

Now you have some core modules that are depending on this config file. When you write them as such:

var Workspace = module.exports = function(config) {
    if (config) {
         // do something;
    }
}

(function () {
    this.methodOnWorkspace = function () {

    };
}).call(Workspace.prototype);

And you can call it then in app.js like:

var Workspace = require("workspace");
this.workspace = new Workspace(config);

Eclipse error: "The import XXX cannot be resolved"

I tried all of the answers above but no luck. In my case, there is a generated build/classes folder with some additional ".class" files. I ended up going to the package explorer, right-clicking on the project and selecting the "Refresh" option and that made the build/classes folder available again resolving the issue.

Issue with parsing the content from json file with Jackson & message- JsonMappingException -Cannot deserialize as out of START_ARRAY token

JsonMappingException: out of START_ARRAY token exception is thrown by Jackson object mapper as it's expecting an Object {} whereas it found an Array [{}] in response.

This can be solved by replacing Object with Object[] in the argument for geForObject("url",Object[].class). References:

Displaying a message in iOS which has the same functionality as Toast in Android

This is how I have done in Swift 3.0. I created UIView extension and calling the self.view.showToast(message: "Message Here", duration: 3.0) and self.view.hideToast()

extension UIView{
var showToastTag :Int {return 999}

//Generic Show toast
func showToast(message : String, duration:TimeInterval) {

    let toastLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x:0, y:0, width: (self.frame.size.width)-60, height:64))

    toastLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.gray
    toastLabel.textColor = UIColor.black
    toastLabel.numberOfLines = 0
    toastLabel.layer.borderColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
    toastLabel.layer.borderWidth = 1.0
    toastLabel.textAlignment = .center;
    toastLabel.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 17.0)
    toastLabel.text = message
    toastLabel.center = self.center
    toastLabel.isEnabled = true
    toastLabel.alpha = 0.99
    toastLabel.tag = showToastTag
    toastLabel.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
    toastLabel.clipsToBounds  =  true
    self.addSubview(toastLabel)

    UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.1, options: .curveEaseOut, animations: {
        toastLabel.alpha = 0.95
    }, completion: {(isCompleted) in
        toastLabel.removeFromSuperview()
    })
}

//Generic Hide toast
func hideToast(){
    if let view = self.viewWithTag(self.showToastTag){
        view.removeFromSuperview()
    }
  }
}

How to access a DOM element in React? What is the equilvalent of document.getElementById() in React

For getting the element in react you need to use ref and inside the function you can use the ReactDOM.findDOMNode method.

But what I like to do more is to call the ref right inside the event

<input type="text" ref={ref => this.myTextInput = ref} />

This is some good link to help you figure out.

Python: Assign print output to a variable

probably you need one of str,repr or unicode functions

somevar = str(tag.getArtist())

depending which python shell are you using

Getting the class of the element that fired an event using JQuery

Careful as target might not work with all browsers, it works well with Chrome, but I reckon Firefox (or IE/Edge, can't remember) is a bit different and uses srcElement. I usually do something like

var t = ev.srcElement || ev.target;

thus leading to

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("a").click(function(ev) {
        // get target depending on what API's in use
        var t = ev.srcElement || ev.target;

        alert(t.id+" and "+$(t).attr('class'));
    });
});

Thx for the nice answers!

Angular - res.json() is not a function

HttpClient.get() applies res.json() automatically and returns Observable<HttpResponse<string>>. You no longer need to call this function yourself.

See Difference between HTTP and HTTPClient in angular 4?

Spark SQL: apply aggregate functions to a list of columns

Another example of the same concept - but say - you have 2 different columns - and you want to apply different agg functions to each of them i.e

f.groupBy("col1").agg(sum("col2").alias("col2"), avg("col3").alias("col3"), ...)

Here is the way to achieve it - though I do not yet know how to add the alias in this case

See the example below - Using Maps

val Claim1 = StructType(Seq(StructField("pid", StringType, true),StructField("diag1", StringType, true),StructField("diag2", StringType, true), StructField("allowed", IntegerType, true), StructField("allowed1", IntegerType, true)))
val claimsData1 = Seq(("PID1", "diag1", "diag2", 100, 200), ("PID1", "diag2", "diag3", 300, 600), ("PID1", "diag1", "diag5", 340, 680), ("PID2", "diag3", "diag4", 245, 490), ("PID2", "diag2", "diag1", 124, 248))

val claimRDD1 = sc.parallelize(claimsData1)
val claimRDDRow1 = claimRDD1.map(p => Row(p._1, p._2, p._3, p._4, p._5))
val claimRDD2DF1 = sqlContext.createDataFrame(claimRDDRow1, Claim1)

val l = List("allowed", "allowed1")
val exprs = l.map((_ -> "sum")).toMap
claimRDD2DF1.groupBy("pid").agg(exprs) show false
val exprs = Map("allowed" -> "sum", "allowed1" -> "avg")

claimRDD2DF1.groupBy("pid").agg(exprs) show false

How can I set the maximum length of 6 and minimum length of 6 in a textbox?

You can find the answer here: Is there a minlength validation attribute in HTML5?

Therefore this should do the job:

<input pattern=".{6,6}">

How can I prevent java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "N/A"?

Make an exception handler like this,

private int ConvertIntoNumeric(String xVal)
{
 try
  { 
     return Integer.parseInt(xVal);
  }
 catch(Exception ex) 
  {
     return 0; 
  }
}

.
.
.
.

int xTest = ConvertIntoNumeric("N/A");  //Will return 0

Get the position of a spinner in Android

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        bt = findViewById(R.id.button);
        spinner = findViewById(R.id.sp_item);
        setInfo();
        spinnerAdapter = new SpinnerAdapter(this, arrayList);
        spinner.setAdapter(spinnerAdapter);



        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                //first,  we have to retrieve the item position as a string
                // then, we can change string value into integer
                String item_position = String.valueOf(position);

                int positonInt = Integer.valueOf(item_position);

                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "value is "+ positonInt, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

            }
        });







note: the position of items is counted from 0.

How do I invert BooleanToVisibilityConverter?

Rather than writing your own code / reinventing, consider using CalcBinding:

Automatic two way convertion of bool expression to Visibility and back if target property has such type: description

    <Button Visibility="{c:Binding !IsChecked}" /> 
    <Button Visibility="{c:Binding IsChecked, FalseToVisibility=Hidden}" />

CalcBinding is also quite useful for numerous other scenarios.

How can I increase the JVM memory?

When starting the JVM, two parameters can be adjusted to suit your memory needs :

How do I pass an object from one activity to another on Android?

You can create a subclass of Application and store your shared object there. The Application object should exist for the lifetime of your app as long as there is some active component.

From your activities, you can access the application object via getApplication().

Easiest way to parse a comma delimited string to some kind of object I can loop through to access the individual values?

   var stringToSplit = "0, 10, 20, 30, 100, 200";

    var elements = test.Split(new[]
    { ',' }, System.StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

    // To Loop through
    foreach (string items in elements)
    {
       // enjoy

How do I format a number in Java?

From this thread, there are different ways to do this:

double r = 5.1234;
System.out.println(r); // r is 5.1234

int decimalPlaces = 2;
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(r);

// setScale is immutable
bd = bd.setScale(decimalPlaces, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
r = bd.doubleValue();

System.out.println(r); // r is 5.12

f = (float) (Math.round(n*100.0f)/100.0f);

DecimalFormat df2 = new DecimalFormat( "#,###,###,##0.00" );
double dd = 100.2397;
double dd2dec = new Double(df2.format(dd)).doubleValue();

// The value of dd2dec will be 100.24

The DecimalFormat() seems to be the most dynamic way to do it, and it is also very easy to understand when reading others code.

<!--[if !IE]> not working

First of all the right syntax is:

<!--[if IE 6]>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/ie6.css" />

How to pass argument to Makefile from command line?

Here is a generic working solution based on @Beta's

I'm using GNU Make 4.1 with SHELL=/bin/bash atop my Makefile, so YMMV!

This allows us to accept extra arguments (by doing nothing when we get a job that doesn't match, rather than throwing an error).

%:
    @:

And this is a macro which gets the args for us:

args = `arg="$(filter-out $@,$(MAKECMDGOALS))" && echo $${arg:-${1}}`

Here is a job which might call this one:

test:
    @echo $(call args,defaultstring)

The result would be:

$ make test
defaultstring
$ make test hi
hi

Note! You might be better off using a "Taskfile", which is a bash pattern that works similarly to make, only without the nuances of Maketools. See https://github.com/adriancooney/Taskfile

Keep getting No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' error with XMLHttpRequest

We see this a lot with OAuth2 integrations. We provide API services to our Customers, and they'll naively try to put their private key into an AJAX call. This is really poor security. And well-coded API Gateways, backends for frontend, and other such proxies, do not allow this. You should get this error.

I will quote @aspillers comment and change a single word: "Access-Control-Allow-Origin is a header sent in a server response which indicates IF the client is allowed to see the contents of a result".

ISSUE: The problem is that a developer is trying to include their private key inside a client-side (browser) JavaScript request. They will get an error, and this is because they are exposing their client secret.

SOLUTION: Have the JavaScript web application talk to a backend service that holds the client secret securely. That backend service can authenticate the web app to the OAuth2 provider, and get an access token. Then the web application can make the AJAX call.

Hyphen, underscore, or camelCase as word delimiter in URIs?

The standard best practice for REST APIs is to have a hyphen, not camelcase or underscores.

String compare in Perl with "eq" vs "=="

== does a numeric comparison: it converts both arguments to a number and then compares them. As long as $str1 and $str2 both evaluate to 0 as numbers, the condition will be satisfied.

eq does a string comparison: the two arguments must match lexically (case-sensitive) for the condition to be satisfied.

"foo" == "bar";   # True, both strings evaluate to 0.
"foo" eq "bar";   # False, the strings are not equivalent.
"Foo" eq "foo";   # False, the F characters are different cases.
"foo" eq "foo";   # True, both strings match exactly.

Tomcat Server not starting with in 45 seconds

If some one had the same issue like me about the timeout of the server where you can found it. This response can help you.

Click on window > Show View > Server. When you are on the server, you will see the server that you have configured before. After that, right click on your server configuration, go to Properties > General and click on Switch Location. After you clicking on "Switch Location", the server configuration will be appear on the Package Explorer of eclipse. Then Double click on the server file in the package explorer you will see where the timeout located.

Thank you.

bootstrap popover not showing on top of all elements

JQuery $.each() JSON array object iteration

Assign the second variable for the $.each function() as well, makes it lot easier as it'll provide you the data (so you won't have to work with the indicies).

$.each(json, function(arrayID,group) {
            console.log('<a href="'+group.GROUP_ID+'">');
    $.each(group.EVENTS, function(eventID,eventData) {
            console.log('<p>'+eventData.SHORT_DESC+'</p>');
     });
});

Should print out everything you were trying in your question.

Convert 4 bytes to int

ByteBuffer has this capability, and is able to work with both little and big endian integers.

Consider this example:


//  read the file into a byte array
File file = new File("file.bin");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
byte [] arr = new byte[(int)file.length()];
fis.read(arr);

//  create a byte buffer and wrap the array
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(arr);

//  if the file uses little endian as apposed to network
//  (big endian, Java's native) format,
//  then set the byte order of the ByteBuffer
if(use_little_endian)
    bb.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);

//  read your integers using ByteBuffer's getInt().
//  four bytes converted into an integer!
System.out.println(bb.getInt());

Hope this helps.

How to set environment variable for everyone under my linux system?

Amazingly, Unix and Linux do not actually have a place to set global environment variables. The best you can do is arrange for any specific shell to have a site-specific initialization.

If you put it in /etc/profile, that will take care of things for most posix-compatible shell users. This is probably "good enough" for non-critical purposes.

But anyone with a csh or tcsh shell won't see it, and I don't believe csh has a global initialization file.

Declare and Initialize String Array in VBA

How to add extension methods to Enums

we have just made an enum extension for c# https://github.com/simonmau/enum_ext

It's just a implementation for the typesafeenum, but it works great so we made a package to share - have fun with it

public sealed class Weekday : TypeSafeNameEnum<Weekday, int>
{
    public static readonly Weekday Monday = new Weekday(1, "--Monday--");
    public static readonly Weekday Tuesday = new Weekday(2, "--Tuesday--");
    public static readonly Weekday Wednesday = new Weekday(3, "--Wednesday--");
    ....

    private Weekday(int id, string name) : base(id, name)
    {
    }

    public string AppendName(string input)
    {
        return $"{Name} {input}";
    }
}

I know the example is kind of useless, but you get the idea ;)

Environment variable to control java.io.tmpdir?

If you look in the source code of the JDK, you can see that for unix systems the property is read at compile time from the paths.h or hard coded. For windows the function GetTempPathW from win32 returns the tmpdir name.

For posix systems you might expect the standard TMPDIR to work, but that is not the case. You can confirm that TMPDIR is not used by running TMPDIR=/mytmp java -XshowSettings

Load Image from javascript

Sorry guys.

You can't rely on the image load event to fire but you can kind of rely on it in some situations and fallback to a maximum load time allowed. In this case, 10 seconds. I wrote this and it lives on production code for when people want to link images on a form post.

function loadImg(options, callback) {
  var seconds = 0,
  maxSeconds = 10,
  complete = false,
  done = false;

  if (options.maxSeconds) {
    maxSeconds = options.maxSeconds;
  }

  function tryImage() {
    if (done) { return; }
    if (seconds >= maxSeconds) {
      callback({ err: 'timeout' });
      done = true;
      return;
    }
    if (complete && img.complete) {
      if (img.width && img.height) {
        callback({ img: img });
        done = true;
        return;
      }
      callback({ err: '404' });
      done = true;
      return;
    } else if (img.complete) {
      complete = true;
    }
    seconds++;
    callback.tryImage = setTimeout(tryImage, 1000);
  }
  var img = new Image();
  img.onload = tryImage();
  img.src = options.src;
  tryImage();
}

use like so:

loadImage({ src : 'http://somewebsite.com/image.png', maxSeconds : 10 }, function(status) {
  if(status.err) {
    // handle error
    return;
  }
  // you got the img within status.img
});

How to dismiss a Twitter Bootstrap popover by clicking outside?

$('body').on('click', function (e) {
    $('[data-toggle="popover"]').each(function () {
    //the 'is' for buttons that trigger popups
    //the 'has' for icons within a button that triggers a popup
    if (!$(this).is(e.target) && $(this).has(e.target).length === 0 && $('.popover').has(e.target).length === 0) {
    $(this).popover('hide');
    }
    });

Media Queries: How to target desktop, tablet, and mobile?

Since there are many varying screen sizes that always change and most likely will always change the best way to go is to base your break points and media queries on your design.

The easiest way to go about this is to grab your completed desktop design and open it in your web browser. Shrink the screen slowly to make it narrower. Observe to see when the design starts to, "break", or looks horrible and cramped. At this point a break point with a media query would be required.

It's common to create three sets of media queries for desktop, tablet and phone. But if your design looks good on all three, why bother with the complexity of adding three different media queries that are not necessary. Do it on an as-needed basis!

Convert bytes to bits in python

What about something like this?

>>> bin(int('ff', base=16))
'0b11111111'

This will convert the hexadecimal string you have to an integer and that integer to a string in which each byte is set to 0/1 depending on the bit-value of the integer.

As pointed out by a comment, if you need to get rid of the 0b prefix, you can do it this way:

>>> bin(int('ff', base=16)).lstrip('0b')
'11111111'

or this way:

>>> bin(int('ff', base=16))[2:]
'11111111'

What is Vim recording and how can it be disabled?

You start recording by q<letter> and you can end it by typing q again.

Recording is a really useful feature of Vim.

It records everything you type. You can then replay it simply by typing @<letter>. Record search, movement, replacement...

One of the best feature of Vim IMHO.

jQuery’s .bind() vs. .on()

Internally, .bind maps directly to .on in the current version of jQuery. (The same goes for .live.) So there is a tiny but practically insignificant performance hit if you use .bind instead.

However, .bind may be removed from future versions at any time. There is no reason to keep using .bind and every reason to prefer .on instead.

PHP + curl, HTTP POST sample code?

A live example of using php curl_exec to do an HTTP post:

Put this in a file called foobar.php:

<?php
  $ch = curl_init();
  $skipper = "luxury assault recreational vehicle";
  $fields = array( 'penguins'=>$skipper, 'bestpony'=>'rainbowdash');
  $postvars = '';
  foreach($fields as $key=>$value) {
    $postvars .= $key . "=" . $value . "&";
  }
  $url = "http://www.google.com";
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1);                //0 for a get request
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postvars);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT ,3);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
  $response = curl_exec($ch);
  print "curl response is:" . $response;
  curl_close ($ch);
?>

Then run it with the command php foobar.php, it dumps this kind of output to screen:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Title</title>

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0">
<body>
  A mountain of content...
</body>
</html>

So you did a PHP POST to www.google.com and sent it some data.

Had the server been programmed to read in the post variables, it could decide to do something different based upon that.

How to listen for a WebView finishing loading a URL?

I have simplified NeTeInStEiN's code to be like this:

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        private int       webViewPreviousState;
        private final int PAGE_STARTED    = 0x1;
        private final int PAGE_REDIRECTED = 0x2;

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String urlNewString) {
            webViewPreviousState = PAGE_REDIRECTED;
            mWebView.loadUrl(urlNewString);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
            webViewPreviousState = PAGE_STARTED;
            if (dialog == null || !dialog.isShowing())
                dialog = ProgressDialog.show(WebViewActivity.this, "", getString(R.string.loadingMessege), true, true,
                        new OnCancelListener() {

                            @Override
                            public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
                                // do something
                            }
                        });
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {

            if (webViewPreviousState == PAGE_STARTED) {
                dialog.dismiss();
                dialog = null;
            }

        }
 });

It is easy to understand, OnPageFinished if the previous callback is on onPageStarted, so the page is completely loaded.

How to format a date using ng-model?

Since you have used datepicker as a class I'm assuming you are using a Jquery datepicker or something similar.

There is a way to do what you are intending without using moment.js at all, purely using just datepicker and angularjs directives.

I've given a example here in this Fiddle

Excerpts from the fiddle here:

  1. Datepicker has a different format and angularjs format is different, need to find the appropriate match so that date is preselected in the control and is also populated in the input field while the ng-model is bound. The below format is equivalent to 'mediumDate' format of AngularJS.

    $(element).find(".datepicker")
              .datepicker({
                 dateFormat: 'M d, yy'
              }); 
    
  2. The date input directive needs to have an interim string variable to represent the human readable form of date.

  3. Refreshing across different sections of page should happen via events, like $broadcast and $on.

  4. Using filter to represent date in human readable form is possible in ng-model as well but with a temporary model variable.

    $scope.dateValString = $filter('date')($scope.dateVal, 'mediumDate');

php refresh current page?

PHP refresh current page

With PHP code:

<?php
$secondsWait = 1;
header("Refresh:$secondsWait");
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
?>

Note: Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP.

if you send any output, you can use javascript:

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo '<script type="text/javascript">location.reload(true);</script>';
?>

When this method receives a true value as argument, it will cause the page to always be reloaded from the server. If it is false or not specified, the browser may reload the page from its cache.

Or you can explicitly use "meta refresh" (with pure html):

<?php
$secondsWait = 1;
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="'.$secondsWait.'">';
?>

Greetings and good code,

Unable to run Java code with Intellij IDEA

Move your code inside of the src folder. Once it's there, it'll be compiled on-the-fly every time it's saved.

IntelliJ only recognizes files in specific locations as part of the project - namely, anything inside of a blue folder is specifically considered to be source code.

Also - while I can't see all of your source code - be sure that it's proper Java syntax, with a class declared the same as the file and that it has a main method (specifically public static void main(String[] args)). IntelliJ won't run code without a main method (rather, it can't - neither it nor Java would know where to start).

How to remove elements/nodes from angular.js array

I liked the solution provided by @madhead

However the problem I had is that it wouldn't work for a sorted list so instead of passing the index to the delete function I passed the item and then got the index via indexof

e.g.:

var index = $scope.items.indexOf(item);
$scope.items.splice(index, 1);

An updated version of madheads example is below: link to example

          <button data-ng-click="removeItem(item)">Remove</button>

      </ul>
      <input data-ng-model="newItem"><button data-ng-click="addItem(newItem)">Add</button>

  $scope.items = [
    "potatoes",
    "tomatoes",
    "flour",
    "sugar",
    "salt"
  ];

  $scope.addItem = function(item){
    $scope.items.push(item);
    $scope.newItem = null;

    $scope.items.splice(index, 1);
  }

Printf width specifier to maintain precision of floating-point value

No, there is no such printf width specifier to print floating-point with maximum precision. Let me explain why.

The maximum precision of float and double is variable, and dependent on the actual value of the float or double.

Recall float and double are stored in sign.exponent.mantissa format. This means that there are many more bits used for the fractional component for small numbers than for big numbers.

enter image description here

For example, float can easily distinguish between 0.0 and 0.1.

float r = 0;
printf( "%.6f\n", r ) ; // 0.000000
r+=0.1 ;
printf( "%.6f\n", r ) ; // 0.100000

But float has no idea of the difference between 1e27 and 1e27 + 0.1.

r = 1e27;
printf( "%.6f\n", r ) ; // 999999988484154753734934528.000000
r+=0.1 ;
printf( "%.6f\n", r ) ; // still 999999988484154753734934528.000000

This is because all the precision (which is limited by the number of mantissa bits) is used up for the large part of the number, left of the decimal.

The %.f modifier just says how many decimal values you want to print from the float number as far as formatting goes. The fact that the accuracy available depends on the size of the number is up to you as the programmer to handle. printf can't/doesn't handle that for you.

Why am I getting a "401 Unauthorized" error in Maven?

Also had 401's from Nexus. Having tried all the suggestions above and more without success I eventually found that it was a Jenkins setting that was in error.

In the Jenkins configuration for the failing project, we have a section in the 'Post Build' actions entitled 'Deploy Artifacts To Maven Repository'. This has a 'Repository ID' field which was set to the wrong value. It has to be the same as the repository ID in settings.xml for Jenkins to read the user and password fields:

Jenkins Project Configuration

    <server>
      <id>snapshot-repository</id>  <!-- must match this -->

Bootstrap 3.0: How to have text and input on same line?

Straight from documentation http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-horizontal.

Use Bootstrap's predefined grid classes to align labels and groups of form controls in a horizontal layout by adding .form-horizontal to the form (which doesn't have to be a <form>). Doing so changes .form-groups to behave as grid rows, so no need for .row.

Sample:

<form class="form-horizontal">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="inputEmail3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
      <input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="inputPassword3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Password</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
      <input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" placeholder="Password">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
      <div class="checkbox">
        <label>
          <input type="checkbox"> Remember me

What characters are valid in a URL?

All the gory details can be found in the current RFC on the topic: RFC 3986 (Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax)

Based on this related answer, you are looking at a list that looks like: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -, ., _, ~, :, /, ?, #, [, ], @, !, $, &, ', (, ), *, +, ,, ;, %, and =. Everything else must be url-encoded. Also, some of these characters can only exist in very specific spots in a URI and outside of those spots must be url-encoded (e.g. % can only be used in conjunction with url encoding as in %20), the RFC has all of these specifics.

Validate phone number using javascript

This regular expression /^(\([0-9]{3}\)\s*|[0-9]{3}\-)[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$/ validates all of the following:

Regular expression visualization

  1. The group in the beginning validates two ways, either (XXX) or XXX-, with optionally spaces after the closing parenthesis.
  2. The part after the group checks for XXX-XXX

How to remove error about glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2 not found

I tried all the suggestions above, but my actual issue was that my application was looking for the /font folder and its contents (.woff etc) in app/fonts, but my /fonts folder was on the same level as /app. I moved /fonts under /app, and it works fine now. I hope this helps someone else roaming the web for an answer.

How to generate a random int in C?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main() 
{
    int visited[100];
    int randValue, a, b, vindex = 0;

    randValue = (rand() % 100) + 1;

    while (vindex < 100) {
        for (b = 0; b < vindex; b++) {
            if (visited[b] == randValue) {
                randValue = (rand() % 100) + 1;
                b = 0;
            }
        }

        visited[vindex++] = randValue;
    }

    for (a = 0; a < 100; a++)
        printf("%d ", visited[a]);

How can I find an element by CSS class with XPath?

The ONLY right way to do it with XPath :

//div[contains(concat(" ", normalize-space(@class), " "), " Test ")]

The function normalize-space strips leading and trailing whitespace, and also replaces sequences of whitespace characters by a single space.


Note

If not need many of these Xpath queries, you might want to use a library that converts CSS selectors to XPath, as CSS selectors are usually a lot easier to both read and write than XPath queries. For example, in this case, you could use both div[class~="Test"] and div.Test to get the same result.

Some libraries I've been able to find :

How to implement a Map with multiple keys?

A dirty and a simple solution, if you use the maps just for sorting lets say, is to add a very small value to a key until the value does not exist, but do not add the minimum (for example Double.MIN_VALUE) because it will cause a bug. Like I said, this is a very dirty solution but it makes the code simpler.

Is there any native DLL export functions viewer?

DLL Export Viewer by NirSoft can be used to display exported functions in a DLL.

This utility displays the list of all exported functions and their virtual memory addresses for the specified DLL files. You can easily copy the memory address of the desired function, paste it into your debugger, and set a breakpoint for this memory address. When this function is called, the debugger will stop in the beginning of this function.

Field 'id' doesn't have a default value?

Since mysql 5.6, there is a new default that makes sure you are explicitly inserting every field that doesn't have a default value set in the table definition.

to disable and test this: see this answer here: mysql error 1364 Field doesn't have a default values

I would recommend you test without it, then reenable it and make sure all your tables have default values for fields you are not explicitly passing in every INSERT query.

If a third party mysql viewer is giving this error, you are probably limited to the fix in that link.

How to force IE10 to render page in IE9 document mode

By what this says, IE10 (the article is referred to a preview release, anyway) it's able to use X-UA-Compatible only if the document is in quirks mode (no DOCTYPE), otherwise IE10 won't react to the request.

Here's an excerpt:

Thus, to make IE10 react to the X-UA-Compatible directive, one must either create a page that triggers quirks-mode per the rules of HTML5 (that is: an a page with no doctype). One can also send the directive as a HTTP header, however: A HTTP sent directive appears to have no effect if you use it to downgrade the rendering — it can only be used to upgrade the rendering

So, you've to do it manually with Dvelopers Tools, or with quirks mode (but I suggest to stay in IE10 mode which is for the first time aligned to the other browers' standard)

document.createElement("script") synchronously

This is way late but for future reference to anyone who'd like to do this, you can use the following:

function require(file,callback){
    var head=document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
    var script=document.createElement('script');
    script.src=file;
    script.type='text/javascript';
    //real browsers
    script.onload=callback;
    //Internet explorer
    script.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (this.readyState == 'complete') {
            callback();
        }
    }
    head.appendChild(script);
}

Java verify void method calls n times with Mockito

The necessary method is Mockito#verify:

public static <T> T verify(T mock,
                           VerificationMode mode)

mock is your mocked object and mode is the VerificationMode that describes how the mock should be verified. Possible modes are:

verify(mock, times(5)).someMethod("was called five times");
verify(mock, never()).someMethod("was never called");
verify(mock, atLeastOnce()).someMethod("was called at least once");
verify(mock, atLeast(2)).someMethod("was called at least twice");
verify(mock, atMost(3)).someMethod("was called at most 3 times");
verify(mock, atLeast(0)).someMethod("was called any number of times"); // useful with captors
verify(mock, only()).someMethod("no other method has been called on the mock");

You'll need these static imports from the Mockito class in order to use the verify method and these verification modes:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.atLeast;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.atLeastOnce;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.atMost;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.never;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.only;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;

So in your case the correct syntax will be:

Mockito.verify(mock, times(4)).send()

This verifies that the method send was called 4 times on the mocked object. It will fail if it was called less or more than 4 times.


If you just want to check, if the method has been called once, then you don't need to pass a VerificationMode. A simple

verify(mock).someMethod("was called once");

would be enough. It internally uses verify(mock, times(1)).someMethod("was called once");.


It is possible to have multiple verification calls on the same mock to achieve a "between" verification. Mockito doesn't support something like this verify(mock, between(4,6)).someMethod("was called between 4 and 6 times");, but we can write

verify(mock, atLeast(4)).someMethod("was called at least four times ...");
verify(mock, atMost(6)).someMethod("... and not more than six times");

instead, to get the same behaviour. The bounds are included, so the test case is green when the method was called 4, 5 or 6 times.

What is the difference between bool and Boolean types in C#

I realise this is many years later but I stumbled across this page from google with the same question.

There is one minor difference on the MSDN page as of now.

VS2005

Note:

If you require a Boolean variable that can also have a value of null, use bool. For more information, see Nullable Types (C# Programming Guide).

VS2010

Note:

If you require a Boolean variable that can also have a value of null, use bool?. For more information, see Nullable Types (C# Programming Guide).

Disable back button in react navigation

For latest version of React Navigation, even if you use null in some cases it may still show "back" written!

Go for this in your main app.js under your screen name or just go to your class file and add: -

static navigationOptions = {
   headerTitle:'Disable back Options',
   headerTitleStyle: {color:'white'},
   headerStyle: {backgroundColor:'black'},
   headerTintColor: 'red',
   headerForceInset: {vertical: 'never'},
   headerLeft: " "

How do I create a crontab through a script

Even more simple answer to you question would be:

echo "0 1 * * * /root/test.sh" | tee -a /var/spool/cron/root

You can setup cronjobs on remote servers as below:

#!/bin/bash
servers="srv1 srv2 srv3 srv4 srv5"
for i in $servers
  do
  echo "0 1 * * * /root/test.sh" | ssh $i " tee -a /var/spool/cron/root"
done

In Linux, the default location of the crontab file is /var/spool/cron/. Here you can find the crontab files of all users. You just need to append your cronjob entry to the respective user's file. In the above example, the root user's crontab file is getting appended with a cronjob to run /root/test.sh every day at 1 AM.

How can I represent an infinite number in Python?

could not access the package manager. is the system running while installing android application

As other have said, this error occurs because the emulator is still in the process of launching. An attempt to access the package manager, for the device, at this time causes an error.

It's just a simple timing issue. Here are the steps to avoid this error:

  1. Wait until the emulator 'lock screen' is showing.
  2. Run the 'app' again (^R in most IDE's).
  3. Choose the running device (Should be the same emulator).

App should install without error.

How do you join tables from two different SQL Server instances in one SQL query

The best way I can think of to accomplish this is via sp_addlinkedserver. You need to make sure that whatever account you use to add the link (via sp_addlinkedsrvlogin) has permissions to the table you're joining, but then once the link is established, you can call the server by name, i.e.:

SELECT *
FROM server1table
    INNER JOIN server2.database.dbo.server2table ON .....

How to set min-font-size in CSS

AFAIK it's not possible with plain CSS,
but you can do a pretty expensive jQuery operation like:

jsBin demo

$('*').css('fontSize', function(i, fs){
  if(parseInt(fs, 10) < 12 ) return this.style.fontSize = "12px";
});

Instead of using the Global Selector * I'd suggest you (if possible) to be more specific with your selectors.

Drop rows containing empty cells from a pandas DataFrame

Pandas will recognise a value as null if it is a np.nan object, which will print as NaN in the DataFrame. Your missing values are probably empty strings, which Pandas doesn't recognise as null. To fix this, you can convert the empty stings (or whatever is in your empty cells) to np.nan objects using replace(), and then call dropna()on your DataFrame to delete rows with null tenants.

To demonstrate, we create a DataFrame with some random values and some empty strings in a Tenants column:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> import numpy as np
>>> 
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2), columns=list('AB'))
>>> df['Tenant'] = np.random.choice(['Babar', 'Rataxes', ''], 10)
>>> print df

          A         B   Tenant
0 -0.588412 -1.179306    Babar
1 -0.008562  0.725239         
2  0.282146  0.421721  Rataxes
3  0.627611 -0.661126    Babar
4  0.805304 -0.834214         
5 -0.514568  1.890647    Babar
6 -1.188436  0.294792  Rataxes
7  1.471766 -0.267807    Babar
8 -1.730745  1.358165  Rataxes
9  0.066946  0.375640         

Now we replace any empty strings in the Tenants column with np.nan objects, like so:

>>> df['Tenant'].replace('', np.nan, inplace=True)
>>> print df

          A         B   Tenant
0 -0.588412 -1.179306    Babar
1 -0.008562  0.725239      NaN
2  0.282146  0.421721  Rataxes
3  0.627611 -0.661126    Babar
4  0.805304 -0.834214      NaN
5 -0.514568  1.890647    Babar
6 -1.188436  0.294792  Rataxes
7  1.471766 -0.267807    Babar
8 -1.730745  1.358165  Rataxes
9  0.066946  0.375640      NaN

Now we can drop the null values:

>>> df.dropna(subset=['Tenant'], inplace=True)
>>> print df

          A         B   Tenant
0 -0.588412 -1.179306    Babar
2  0.282146  0.421721  Rataxes
3  0.627611 -0.661126    Babar
5 -0.514568  1.890647    Babar
6 -1.188436  0.294792  Rataxes
7  1.471766 -0.267807    Babar
8 -1.730745  1.358165  Rataxes

Vue 'export default' vs 'new Vue'

When you declare:

new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data () {
      return {}
    }
)}

That is typically your root Vue instance that the rest of the application descends from. This hangs off the root element declared in an html document, for example:

<html>
  ...
  <body>
    <div id="app"></div>
  </body>
</html>

The other syntax is declaring a component which can be registered and reused later. For example, if you create a single file component like:

// my-component.js
export default {
    name: 'my-component',
    data () {
      return {}
    }
}

You can later import this and use it like:

// another-component.js
<template>
  <my-component></my-component>
</template>
<script>
  import myComponent from 'my-component'
  export default {
    components: {
      myComponent
    }
    data () {
      return {}
    }
    ...
  }
</script>

Also, be sure to declare your data properties as functions, otherwise they are not going to be reactive.

How to make Visual Studio copy a DLL file to the output directory?

xcopy /y /d  "$(ProjectDir)External\*.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

You can also refer to a relative path, the next example will find the DLL in a folder located one level above the project folder. If you have multiple projects that use the DLL in a single solution, this places the source of the DLL in a common area reachable when you set any of them as the Startup Project.

xcopy /y /d  "$(ProjectDir)..\External\*.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

The /y option copies without confirmation. The /d option checks to see if a file exists in the target and if it does only copies if the source has a newer timestamp than the target.

I found that in at least newer versions of Visual Studio, such as VS2109, $(ProjDir) is undefined and had to use $(ProjectDir) instead.

Leaving out a target folder in xcopy should default to the output directory. That is important to understand reason $(OutDir) alone is not helpful.

$(OutDir), at least in recent versions of Visual Studio, is defined as a relative path to the output folder, such as bin/x86/Debug. Using it alone as the target will create a new set of folders starting from the project output folder. Ex: … bin/x86/Debug/bin/x86/Debug.

Combining it with the project folder should get you to the proper place. Ex: $(ProjectDir)$(OutDir).

However $(TargetDir) will provide the output directory in one step.

How to print full stack trace in exception?

Recommend to use LINQPad related nuget package, then you can use exceptionInstance.Dump().

enter image description here

For .NET core:

  • Install LINQPad.Runtime

For .NET framework 4 etc.

  • Install LINQPad

Sample code:

using System;
using LINQPad;

namespace csharp_Dump_test
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            try
            {
                dosome();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ex.Dump();
            }
        }

        private static void dosome()
        {
            throw new Exception("Unable.");
        }
    }
}

Running result: enter image description here

LinqPad nuget package is the most awesome tool for printing exception stack information. May it be helpful for you.

How do I send a file in Android from a mobile device to server using http?

Wrap it all up in an Async task to avoid threading errors.

public class AsyncHttpPostTask extends AsyncTask<File, Void, String> {

    private static final String TAG = AsyncHttpPostTask.class.getSimpleName();
    private String server;

    public AsyncHttpPostTask(final String server) {
        this.server = server;
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(File... params) {
        Log.d(TAG, "doInBackground");
        HttpClient http = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("MyApp");
        HttpPost method = new HttpPost(this.server);
        method.setEntity(new FileEntity(params[0], "text/plain"));
        try {
            HttpResponse response = http.execute(method);
            BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    response.getEntity().getContent()));
            final StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
            String line;
            try {
                while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                    out.append(line);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {}
            // wr.close();
            try {
                rd.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            // final String serverResponse = slurp(is);
            Log.d(TAG, "serverResponse: " + out.toString());
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Check if a key exists inside a json object

Type check also works :

if(typeof Obj.property == "undefined"){
    // Assign value to the property here
    Obj.property = someValue;
}

PostgreSQL delete all content

The content of the table/tables in PostgreSQL database can be deleted in several ways.

Deleting table content using sql:

Deleting content of one table:

TRUNCATE table_name;
DELETE FROM table_name;

Deleting content of all named tables:

TRUNCATE table_a, table_b, …, table_z;

Deleting content of named tables and tables that reference to them (I will explain it in more details later in this answer):

TRUNCATE table_a, table_b CASCADE;

Deleting table content using pgAdmin:

Deleting content of one table:

Right click on the table -> Truncate

Deleting content of table and tables that reference to it:

Right click on the table -> Truncate Cascaded

Difference between delete and truncate:

From the documentation:

DELETE deletes rows that satisfy the WHERE clause from the specified table. If the WHERE clause is absent, the effect is to delete all rows in the table. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-delete.html

TRUNCATE is a PostgreSQL extension that provides a faster mechanism to remove all rows from a table. TRUNCATE quickly removes all rows from a set of tables. It has the same effect as an unqualified DELETE on each table, but since it does not actually scan the tables it is faster. Furthermore, it reclaims disk space immediately, rather than requiring a subsequent VACUUM operation. This is most useful on large tables. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-truncate.html

Working with table that is referenced from other table:

When you have database that has more than one table the tables have probably relationship. As an example there are three tables:

create table customers (
customer_id int not null,
name varchar(20),
surname varchar(30),
constraint pk_customer primary key (customer_id)
);

create table orders (
order_id int not null,
number int not null,
customer_id int not null,
constraint pk_order primary key (order_id),
constraint fk_customer foreign key (customer_id) references customers(customer_id)
);

create table loyalty_cards (
card_id int not null,
card_number varchar(10) not null,
customer_id int not null,
constraint pk_card primary key (card_id),
constraint fk_customer foreign key (customer_id) references customers(customer_id)
);

And some prepared data for these tables:

insert into customers values (1, 'John', 'Smith');

insert into orders values 
(10, 1000, 1),
(11, 1009, 1),
(12, 1010, 1);        

insert into loyalty_cards values (100, 'A123456789', 1);

Table orders references table customers and table loyalty_cards references table customers. When you try to TRUNCATE / DELETE FROM the table that is referenced by other table/s (the other table/s has foreign key constraint to the named table) you get an error. To delete content from all three tables you have to name all these tables (the order is not important)

TRUNCATE customers, loyalty_cards, orders;

or just the table that is referenced with CASCADE key word (you can name more tables than just one)

TRUNCATE customers CASCADE;

The same applies for pgAdmin. Right click on customers table and choose Truncate Cascaded.

How can I count occurrences with groupBy?

I think you're just looking for the overload which takes another Collector to specify what to do with each group... and then Collectors.counting() to do the counting:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.*;

class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

        list.add("Hello");
        list.add("Hello");
        list.add("World");

        Map<String, Long> counted = list.stream()
            .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity(), Collectors.counting()));

        System.out.println(counted);
    }
}

Result:

{Hello=2, World=1}

(There's also the possibility of using groupingByConcurrent for more efficiency. Something to bear in mind for your real code, if it would be safe in your context.)

Is there a unique Android device ID?

Yes, every Android device have a unique serial numbers you can able to get it from this code. Build.SERIAL. Note that it was only added in API level 9, and it may not be present on all devices. To get a unique ID on earlier platforms, you'll need to read something like the MAC address or IMEI.

Difference between / and /* in servlet mapping url pattern

<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

The /* on a servlet overrides all other servlets, including all servlets provided by the servletcontainer such as the default servlet and the JSP servlet. Whatever request you fire, it will end up in that servlet. This is thus a bad URL pattern for servlets. Usually, you'd like to use /* on a Filter only. It is able to let the request continue to any of the servlets listening on a more specific URL pattern by calling FilterChain#doFilter().

<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

The / doesn't override any other servlet. It only replaces the servletcontainer's builtin default servlet for all requests which doesn't match any other registered servlet. This is normally only invoked on static resources (CSS/JS/image/etc) and directory listings. The servletcontainer's builtin default servlet is also capable of dealing with HTTP cache requests, media (audio/video) streaming and file download resumes. Usually, you don't want to override the default servlet as you would otherwise have to take care of all its tasks, which is not exactly trivial (JSF utility library OmniFaces has an open source example). This is thus also a bad URL pattern for servlets. As to why JSP pages doesn't hit this servlet, it's because the servletcontainer's builtin JSP servlet will be invoked, which is already by default mapped on the more specific URL pattern *.jsp.

<url-pattern></url-pattern>

Then there's also the empty string URL pattern . This will be invoked when the context root is requested. This is different from the <welcome-file> approach that it isn't invoked when any subfolder is requested. This is most likely the URL pattern you're actually looking for in case you want a "home page servlet". I only have to admit that I'd intuitively expect the empty string URL pattern and the slash URL pattern / be defined exactly the other way round, so I can understand that a lot of starters got confused on this. But it is what it is.

Front Controller

In case you actually intend to have a front controller servlet, then you'd best map it on a more specific URL pattern like *.html, *.do, /pages/*, /app/*, etc. You can hide away the front controller URL pattern and cover static resources on a common URL pattern like /resources/*, /static/*, etc with help of a servlet filter. See also How to prevent static resources from being handled by front controller servlet which is mapped on /*. Noted should be that Spring MVC has a builtin static resource servlet, so that's why you could map its front controller on / if you configure a common URL pattern for static resources in Spring. See also How to handle static content in Spring MVC?

How to create a dump with Oracle PL/SQL Developer?

Just to keep this up to date:

The current version of SQLDeveloper has an export tool (Tools > Database Export) that will allow you to dump a schema to a file, with filters for object types, object names, table data etc.

It's a fair amount easier to set-up and use than exp and imp if you're used to working in a GUI environment, but not as versatile if you need to use it for scripting anything.

Android Studio : How to uninstall APK (or execute adb command) automatically before Run or Debug?

Use this cmd to display the packages in your device (for windows users)

adb shell pm list packages

then you can delete completely the package with the following cmd

How can I get the line number which threw exception?

You could include .PDB symbol files associated to the assembly which contain metadata information and when an exception is thrown it will contain full information in the stacktrace of where this exception originated. It will contain line numbers of each method in the stack.

HTTP Request in Kotlin

Without adding additional dependencies, this works. You don't need Volley for this. This works using the current version of Kotlin as of Dec 2018: Kotlin 1.3.10

If using Android Studio, you'll need to add this declaration in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

You should manually declare imports here. The auto-import tool caused me many conflicts.:

import android.os.AsyncTask
import java.io.BufferedReader
import java.io.InputStreamReader
import java.io.OutputStream
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter
import java.net.URL
import java.net.URLEncoder
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection

You can't perform network requests on a background thread. You must subclass AsyncTask.

To call the method:

NetworkTask().execute(requestURL, queryString)

Declaration:

private class NetworkTask : AsyncTask<String, Int, Long>() {
    override fun doInBackground(vararg parts: String): Long? {
        val requestURL = parts.first()
        val queryString = parts.last()

        // Set up request
        val connection: HttpsURLConnection = URL(requestURL).openConnection() as HttpsURLConnection
        // Default is GET so you must override this for post
        connection.requestMethod = "POST"
        // To send a post body, output must be true
        connection.doOutput = true
        // Create the stream
        val outputStream: OutputStream = connection.outputStream
        // Create a writer container to pass the output over the stream
        val outputWriter = OutputStreamWriter(outputStream)
        // Add the string to the writer container
        outputWriter.write(queryString)
        // Send the data
        outputWriter.flush()

        // Create an input stream to read the response
        val inputStream = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(connection.inputStream)).use {
            // Container for input stream data
            val response = StringBuffer()
            var inputLine = it.readLine()
            // Add each line to the response container
            while (inputLine != null) {
                response.append(inputLine)
                inputLine = it.readLine()
            }
            it.close()
            // TODO: Add main thread callback to parse response
            println(">>>> Response: $response")
        }
        connection.disconnect()

        return 0
    }

    protected fun onProgressUpdate(vararg progress: Int) {
    }

    override fun onPostExecute(result: Long?) {
    }
}

Create a simple 10 second countdown

JavaScript has built in to it a function called setInterval, which takes two arguments - a function, callback and an integer, timeout. When called, setInterval will call the function you give it every timeout milliseconds.

For example, if you wanted to make an alert window every 500 milliseconds, you could do something like this.

function makeAlert(){ 
    alert("Popup window!");
};

setInterval(makeAlert, 500);

However, you don't have to name your function or declare it separately. Instead, you could define your function inline, like this.

setInterval(function(){ alert("Popup window!"); }, 500);

Once setInterval is called, it will run until you call clearInterval on the return value. This means that the previous example would just run infinitely. We can put all of this information together to make a progress bar that will update every second and after 10 seconds, stop updating.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var timeleft = 10;_x000D_
var downloadTimer = setInterval(function(){_x000D_
  if(timeleft <= 0){_x000D_
    clearInterval(downloadTimer);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
  document.getElementById("progressBar").value = 10 - timeleft;_x000D_
  timeleft -= 1;_x000D_
}, 1000);
_x000D_
<progress value="0" max="10" id="progressBar"></progress>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Alternatively, this will create a text countdown.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var timeleft = 10;_x000D_
var downloadTimer = setInterval(function(){_x000D_
  if(timeleft <= 0){_x000D_
    clearInterval(downloadTimer);_x000D_
    document.getElementById("countdown").innerHTML = "Finished";_x000D_
  } else {_x000D_
    document.getElementById("countdown").innerHTML = timeleft + " seconds remaining";_x000D_
  }_x000D_
  timeleft -= 1;_x000D_
}, 1000);
_x000D_
<div id="countdown"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Call ASP.NET function from JavaScript?

Well, if you don't want to do it using Ajax or any other way and just want a normal ASP.NET postback to happen, here is how you do it (without using any other libraries):

It is a little tricky though... :)

i. In your code file (assuming you are using C# and .NET 2.0 or later) add the following Interface to your Page class to make it look like

public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page, IPostBackEventHandler{}

ii. This should add (using Tab-Tab) this function to your code file:

public void RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument) { }

iii. In your onclick event in JavaScript, write the following code:

var pageId = '<%=  Page.ClientID %>';
__doPostBack(pageId, argumentString);

This will call the 'RaisePostBackEvent' method in your code file with the 'eventArgument' as the 'argumentString' you passed from the JavaScript. Now, you can call any other event you like.

P.S: That is 'underscore-underscore-doPostBack' ... And, there should be no space in that sequence... Somehow the WMD does not allow me to write to underscores followed by a character!

Java character array initializer

Instead of above way u can achieve the solution simply by following method..

public static void main(String args[]) {
    String ini = "Hi there";
    for (int i = 0; i < ini.length(); i++) {
        System.out.print(" " + ini.charAt(i));
    }
}

import an array in python

In Python, Storing a bare python list as a numpy.array and then saving it out to file, then loading it back, and converting it back to a list takes some conversion tricks. The confusion is because python lists are not at all the same thing as numpy.arrays:

import numpy as np
foods = ['grape', 'cherry', 'mango']
filename = "./outfile.dat.npy"
np.save(filename, np.array(foods))
z = np.load(filename).tolist()
print("z is: " + str(z))

This prints:

z is: ['grape', 'cherry', 'mango']

Which is stored on disk as the filename: outfile.dat.npy

The important methods here are the tolist() and np.array(...) conversion functions.

Need to combine lots of files in a directory

There is a convenient third party tool named FileMenu Tools, that gives several right-click tools as a windows explorer extension.

One of them is Split file / Join Parts, that does and undoes exactly what you are looking for.

Check it at http://www.lopesoft.com/en/filemenutools. Of course, it is windows only, as Unixes environments already have lots of tools for that.

Angular: How to download a file from HttpClient?

It took me a while to implement the other responses, as I'm using Angular 8 (tested up to 10). I ended up with the following code (heavily inspired by Hasan).

Note that for the name to be set, the header Access-Control-Expose-Headers MUST include Content-Disposition. To set this in django RF:

http_response = HttpResponse(package, content_type='application/javascript')
http_response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="{}"'.format(filename)
http_response['Access-Control-Expose-Headers'] = "Content-Disposition"

In angular:

  // component.ts
  // getFileName not necessary, you can just set this as a string if you wish
  getFileName(response: HttpResponse<Blob>) {
    let filename: string;
    try {
      const contentDisposition: string = response.headers.get('content-disposition');
      const r = /(?:filename=")(.+)(?:")/
      filename = r.exec(contentDisposition)[1];
    }
    catch (e) {
      filename = 'myfile.txt'
    }
    return filename
  }

  
  downloadFile() {
    this._fileService.downloadFile(this.file.uuid)
      .subscribe(
        (response: HttpResponse<Blob>) => {
          let filename: string = this.getFileName(response)
          let binaryData = [];
          binaryData.push(response.body);
          let downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
          downloadLink.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob(binaryData, { type: 'blob' }));
          downloadLink.setAttribute('download', filename);
          document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
          downloadLink.click();
        }
      )
  }

  // service.ts
  downloadFile(uuid: string) {
    return this._http.get<Blob>(`${environment.apiUrl}/api/v1/file/${uuid}/package/`, { observe: 'response', responseType: 'blob' as 'json' })
  }

What is Android's file system?

It depends on what filesystem, for example /system and /data are yaffs2 while /sdcard is vfat. This is the output of mount:

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0

AngularJS does not send hidden field value

In the controller:

$scope.entityId = $routeParams.entityId;

In the view:

<input type="hidden" name="entityId" ng-model="entity.entityId" ng-init="entity.entityId = entityId" />

what is the difference between XSD and WSDL

WSDL - It contains the Operation such as Methods which a webservice provides.and these method can accept simple data types such as int,float etc and complex data types such as objects ,vectors, arrays etc. so mapping this to an xml datatype xsd are used. and based upon the xsd an user who wants to acccess webservice from different platform can provide the data appropriately.

The current "pipable" variant of this operator is called finalize() (since RxJS 6). The older and now deprecated "patch" operator was called finally() (until RxJS 5.5).

I think finalize() operator is actually correct. You say:

do that logic only when I subscribe, and after the stream has ended

which is not a problem I think. You can have a single source and use finalize() before subscribing to it if you want. This way you're not required to always use finalize():

let source = new Observable(observer => {
  observer.next(1);
  observer.error('error message');
  observer.next(3);
  observer.complete();
}).pipe(
  publish(),
);

source.pipe(
  finalize(() => console.log('Finally callback')),
).subscribe(
  value => console.log('#1 Next:', value),
  error => console.log('#1 Error:', error),
  () => console.log('#1 Complete')
);

source.subscribe(
  value => console.log('#2 Next:', value),
  error => console.log('#2 Error:', error),
  () => console.log('#2 Complete')
);

source.connect();

This prints to console:

#1 Next: 1
#2 Next: 1
#1 Error: error message
Finally callback
#2 Error: error message

Hide element by class in pure Javascript

document.getElementsByClassName returns an HTMLCollection(an array-like object) of all elements matching the class name. The style property is defined for Element not for HTMLCollection. You should access the first element using the bracket(subscript) notation.

document.getElementsByClassName('appBanner')[0].style.visibility = 'hidden';

Updated jsFiddle

To change the style rules of all elements matching the class, using the Selectors API:

[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.appBanner'), function (el) {
  el.style.visibility = 'hidden';
});

If for...of is available:

for (let el of document.querySelectorAll('.appBanner')) el.style.visibility = 'hidden';

ng-repeat :filter by single field

If you want to filter on a grandchild (or deeper) of the given object, you can continue to build out your object hierarchy. For example, if you want to filter on 'thing.properties.title', you can do the following:

<div ng-repeat="thing in things | filter: { properties: { title: title_filter } }">

You can also filter on multiple properties of an object just by adding them to your filter object:

<div ng-repeat="thing in things | filter: { properties: { title: title_filter, id: id_filter } }">

#1062 - Duplicate entry for key 'PRIMARY'

Probably this is not the best of solution but doing the following will solve the problem

Step 1: Take a database dump using the following command

mysqldump -u root -p databaseName > databaseName.db

find the line

ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT="*****" DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Step 2: Change ******* to max id of your mysql table id. Save this value.

Step 3: again use

mysql -u root -p databaseName < databaseName.db

In my case i got this error when i added a manual entry to use to enter data into some other table. some how we have to set the value AUTO_INCREMENT to max id using mysql command

Is it possible to create a File object from InputStream

If you are using Java version 7 or higher, you can use try-with-resources to properly close the FileOutputStream. The following code use IOUtils.copy() from commons-io.

public void copyToFile(InputStream inputStream, File file) throws IOException {
    try(OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
        IOUtils.copy(inputStream, outputStream);
    }
}  

Parse JSON String into List<string>

Seems like a bad way to do it (creating two correlated lists) but I'm assuming you have your reasons.

I'd parse the JSON string (which has a typo in your example, it's missing a comma between the two objects) into a strongly-typed object and then use a couple of LINQ queries to get the two lists.

void Main()
{
    string json = "{\"People\":[{\"FirstName\":\"Hans\",\"LastName\":\"Olo\"},{\"FirstName\":\"Jimmy\",\"LastName\":\"Crackedcorn\"}]}";

    var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);

    var firstNames = result.People.Select (p => p.FirstName).ToList();
    var lastNames = result.People.Select (p => p.LastName).ToList();
}

public class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<Person> People { get; set; }
}

Aligning a button to the center

For me it worked using flexbox, which is in my opinion the cleanest solution.

Add a css class around the parent div / element with :

.parent {
display: flex;
}

and for the button use:

.button {
justify-content: center;
}

You should use a parent div, otherwise the button doesn't 'know' what the middle of the page / element is.

If this is not working, try :

#wrapper {
    display:flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

Java Program to test if a character is uppercase/lowercase/number/vowel

This may not be what you are looking for but I thought you oughta know the real way to do this. You can use the java.lang.Character class's isUpperCase() to find aout about the case of the character. You can use isDigit() to differentiate between the numbers and letters(This is just FYI :) ). You can then do a toUpperCase() and then do the switch for vowels. This will improve your code quality.

convert month from name to number

I know this might seem a simple solution, but why not just use something like this

<select name="month">
  <option value="01">January</option>
  <option value="02">February</option>
  <option selected value="03">March</option>
</select>

The user sees February, but 02 is posted to the database

Should a RESTful 'PUT' operation return something

The HTTP specification (RFC 2616) has a number of recommendations that are applicable. Here is my interpretation:

  • HTTP status code 200 OK for a successful PUT of an update to an existing resource. No response body needed. (Per Section 9.6, 204 No Content is even more appropriate.)
  • HTTP status code 201 Created for a successful PUT of a new resource, with the most specific URI for the new resource returned in the Location header field and any other relevant URIs and metadata of the resource echoed in the response body. (RFC 2616 Section 10.2.2)
  • HTTP status code 409 Conflict for a PUT that is unsuccessful due to a 3rd-party modification, with a list of differences between the attempted update and the current resource in the response body. (RFC 2616 Section 10.4.10)
  • HTTP status code 400 Bad Request for an unsuccessful PUT, with natural-language text (such as English) in the response body that explains why the PUT failed. (RFC 2616 Section 10.4)

Retrieving values from nested JSON Object

Maybe you're not using the latest version of a JSON for Java Library.

json-simple has not been updated for a long time, while JSON-Java was updated 2 month ago.

JSON-Java can be found on GitHub, here is the link to its repo: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-java

After switching the library, you can refer to my sample code down below:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String JSON = "{\"LanguageLevels\":{\"1\":\"Pocz\\u0105tkuj\\u0105cy\",\"2\":\"\\u015arednioZaawansowany\",\"3\":\"Zaawansowany\",\"4\":\"Ekspert\"}}\n";

    JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(JSON);
    JSONObject getSth = jsonObject.getJSONObject("LanguageLevels");
    Object level = getSth.get("2");

    System.out.println(level);
}

And as JSON-Java open-sourced, you can read the code and its document, they will guide you through.

Hope that it helps.

Use .htaccess to redirect HTTP to HTTPs

None if this worked for me. First of all I had to look at my provider to see how they activate SSL in .htaccess my provider gives

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTPS} !on
   RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]
</IfModule>

But what took me days of research is I had to add to wp-config.php the following lines as my provided site is behind a proxy :

/**
 * Force le SSL
 */
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false) $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

How to use support FileProvider for sharing content to other apps?

In my app FileProvider works just fine, and I am able to attach internal files stored in files directory to email clients like Gmail,Yahoo etc.

In my manifest as mentioned in the Android documentation I placed:

<provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.package.name.fileprovider"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true"
        android:exported="false">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
    </provider>

And as my files were stored in the root files directory, the filepaths.xml were as follows:

 <paths>
<files-path path="." name="name" />

Now in the code:

 File file=new File(context.getFilesDir(),"test.txt");

 Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);

 shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
                                     "Test");

 shareIntent.setType("text/plain");

 shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
                                 new String[] {"email-address you want to send the file to"});

   Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context,"com.package.name.fileprovider",
                                                   file);

                ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
                uris.add(uri);

                shareIntent .putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
                                                        uris);


                try {
                   context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent , "Email:").addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK));                                                      


                }
                catch(ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                    Toast.makeText(context,
                                   "Sorry No email Application was found",
                                   Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }

This worked for me.Hope this helps :)

How do I get the browser scroll position in jQuery?

It's better to use $(window).scroll() rather than $('#Eframe').on("mousewheel")

$('#Eframe').on("mousewheel") will not trigger if people manually scroll using up and down arrows on the scroll bar or grabbing and dragging the scroll bar itself.

$(window).scroll(function(){
    var scrollPos = $(document).scrollTop();
    console.log(scrollPos);
});

If #Eframe is an element with overflow:scroll on it and you want it's scroll position. I think this should work (I haven't tested it though).

$('#Eframe').scroll(function(){
    var scrollPos = $('#Eframe').scrollTop();
    console.log(scrollPos);
});

Following on from Richard's comment. Here's the easy way to convert your file to UNIX line endings. If you're like me you created it in Windows Notepad and then tried to run it in Linux - bad idea.

  1. Download and install yourself a copy of Notepad++ (free).
  2. Open your script file in Notepad++.
  3. File menu -> Save As ->
  4. Save as type: Unix script file (*.sh;*.bsh)
  5. Copy the new .sh file to your Linux system
  6. Maxe it executable with: chmod 755 the_script_filename
  7. Run it with: ./the_script_filename

How to write a CSS hack for IE 11?

In the light of the evolving thread, I have updated the below:

IE 11 (and above..)

_:-ms-fullscreen, :root .foo { property:value; }

IE 10 and above

_:-ms-lang(x), .foo { property:value; }

or

@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none), (-ms-high-contrast: active) {
   .foo{property:value;}
}

IE 10 only

_:-ms-lang(x), .foo { property:value\9; }

IE 9 and above

@media screen and (min-width:0\0) and (min-resolution: +72dpi) {
  //.foo CSS
  .foo{property:value;}
}

IE 9 and 10

@media screen and (min-width:0\0) {
    .foo /* backslash-9 removes.foo & old Safari 4 */
}

IE 9 only

@media screen and (min-width:0\0) and (min-resolution: .001dpcm) { 
 //.foo CSS
 .foo{property:value;}
}

IE 8,9 and 10

@media screen\0 {
    .foo {property:value;}
}

IE 8 Standards Mode Only

.foo { property /*\**/: value\9 }

IE 8

html>/**/body .foo {property:value;}

or

@media \0screen {
    .foo {property:value;}
}

IE 7

*+html .foo {property:value;}

or

*:first-child+html .foo {property:value;}

IE 6, 7 and 8

@media \0screen\,screen\9 {
    .foo {property:value;}
}

IE 6 and 7

@media screen\9 {
    .foo {property:value;}
}

or

.foo { *property:value;}

or

.foo { #property:value;}

IE 6, 7 and 8

@media \0screen\,screen\9 {
    .foo {property:value;}
}

IE 6

* html .foo {property:value;}

or

.foo { _property:value;}

Javascript alternatives

Modernizr

Modernizr runs quickly on page load to detect features; it then creates a JavaScript object with the results, and adds classes to the html element

User agent selection

Javascript:

var b = document.documentElement;
        b.setAttribute('data-useragent',  navigator.userAgent);
        b.setAttribute('data-platform', navigator.platform );
        b.className += ((!!('ontouchstart' in window) || !!('onmsgesturechange' in window))?' touch':'');

Adds (e.g) the below to html element:

data-useragent='Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; M.foo 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)'
data-platform='Win32'

Allowing very targetted CSS selectors, e.g.:

html[data-useragent*='Chrome/13.0'] .nav{
    background:url(img/radial_grad.png) center bottom no-repeat;
}

Footnote

If possible, identify and fix any issue(s) without hacks. Support progressive enhancement and graceful degradation. However, this is an 'ideal world' scenario not always obtainable, as such- the above should help provide some good options.

Getting text from td cells with jQuery

I would give your tds a specific class, e.g. data-cell, and then use something like this:

    // 'this' is now the raw td DOM element
    var txt = $(this).html();
});

Log all queries in mysql

(Note: For mysql-5.6+ this won't work. There's a solution that applies to mysql-5.6+ if you scroll down or click here.)

If you don't want or cannot restart the MySQL server you can proceed like this on your running server:

  • Create your log tables on the mysql database
  CREATE TABLE `slow_log` (
   `start_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP 
                          ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
   `user_host` mediumtext NOT NULL,
   `query_time` time NOT NULL,
   `lock_time` time NOT NULL,
   `rows_sent` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `rows_examined` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `db` varchar(512) NOT NULL,
   `last_insert_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `insert_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
   `sql_text` mediumtext NOT NULL,
   `thread_id` bigint(21) unsigned NOT NULL
  ) ENGINE=CSV DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Slow log'
  CREATE TABLE `general_log` (
   `event_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
                          ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

   `thread_id` bigint(21) unsigned NOT NULL,
   `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
   `command_type` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
   `argument` mediumtext NOT NULL
  ) ENGINE=CSV DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='General log'
  • Enable Query logging on the database
SET global general_log = 1;
SET global log_output = 'table';
  • View the log
select * from mysql.general_log
  • Disable Query logging on the database
SET global general_log = 0;

SQL NVARCHAR and VARCHAR Limits

The accepted answer helped me but I got tripped up while doing concatenation of varchars involving case statements. I know the OP's question does not involve case statements but I thought this would be helpful to post here for others like me who ended up here while struggling to build long dynamic SQL statements involving case statements.

When using case statements with string concatenation the rules mentioned in the accepted answer apply to each section of the case statement independently.

declare @l_sql varchar(max) = ''

set @l_sql = @l_sql +
case when 1=1 then
    --without this correction the result is truncated
    --CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), '')
 +REPLICATE('1', 8000)
 +REPLICATE('1', 8000)
end

print len(@l_sql)

Base64 decode snippet in C++

I use this:

class BinaryVector {
public:
    std::vector<char> bytes;

    uint64_t bit_count = 0;

public:
    /* Add a bit to the end */
    void push_back(bool bit);

    /* Return false if character is unrecognized */
    bool pushBase64Char(char b64_c);
};

void BinaryVector::push_back(bool bit)
{
    if (!bit_count || bit_count % 8 == 0) {
        bytes.push_back(bit << 7);
    }
    else {
        uint8_t next_bit = 8 - (bit_count % 8) - 1;
        bytes[bit_count / 8] |= bit << next_bit;
    }
    bit_count++;
}

/* Converts one Base64 character to 6 bits */
bool BinaryVector::pushBase64Char(char c)
{
    uint8_t d;

    // A to Z
    if (c > 0x40 && c < 0x5b) {
        d = c - 65;  // Base64 A is 0
    }
    // a to z
    else if (c > 0x60 && c < 0x7b) {
        d = c - 97 + 26;  // Base64 a is 26
    }
    // 0 to 9
    else if (c > 0x2F && c < 0x3a) {
        d = c - 48 + 52;  // Base64 0 is 52
    }
    else if (c == '+') {
        d = 0b111110;
    }
    else if (c == '/') {
        d = 0b111111;
    }
    else if (c == '=') {
        d = 0;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }

    push_back(d & 0b100000);
    push_back(d & 0b010000);
    push_back(d & 0b001000);
    push_back(d & 0b000100);
    push_back(d & 0b000010);
    push_back(d & 0b000001);

    return true;
}

bool loadBase64(std::vector<char>& b64_bin, BinaryVector& vec)
{
    for (char& c : b64_bin) {
        if (!vec.pushBase64Char(c)) {
            return false;

}

Use vec.bytes to access converted data.

Learning Regular Expressions

The most important part is the concepts. Once you understand how the building blocks work, differences in syntax amount to little more than mild dialects. A layer on top of your regular expression engine's syntax is the syntax of the programming language you're using. Languages such as Perl remove most of this complication, but you'll have to keep in mind other considerations if you're using regular expressions in a C program.

If you think of regular expressions as building blocks that you can mix and match as you please, it helps you learn how to write and debug your own patterns but also how to understand patterns written by others.

Start simple

Conceptually, the simplest regular expressions are literal characters. The pattern N matches the character 'N'.

Regular expressions next to each other match sequences. For example, the pattern Nick matches the sequence 'N' followed by 'i' followed by 'c' followed by 'k'.

If you've ever used grep on Unix—even if only to search for ordinary looking strings—you've already been using regular expressions! (The re in grep refers to regular expressions.)

Adding just a little complexity, you can match either 'Nick' or 'nick' with the pattern [Nn]ick. The part in square brackets is a character class, which means it matches exactly one of the enclosed characters. You can also use ranges in character classes, so [a-c] matches either 'a' or 'b' or 'c'.

The pattern . is special: rather than matching a literal dot only, it matches any character. It's the same conceptually as the really big character class [-.?+%$A-Za-z0-9...].

Think of character classes as menus: pick just one.

Helpful shortcuts

Using . can save you lots of typing, and there are other shortcuts for common patterns. Say you want to match a digit: one way to write that is [0-9]. Digits are a frequent match target, so you could instead use the shortcut \d. Others are \s (whitespace) and \w (word characters: alphanumerics or underscore).

The uppercased variants are their complements, so \S matches any non-whitespace character, for example.

Once is not enough

From there, you can repeat parts of your pattern with quantifiers. For example, the pattern ab?c matches 'abc' or 'ac' because the ? quantifier makes the subpattern it modifies optional. Other quantifiers are

  • * (zero or more times)
  • + (one or more times)
  • {n} (exactly n times)
  • {n,} (at least n times)
  • {n,m} (at least n times but no more than m times)

Putting some of these blocks together, the pattern [Nn]*ick matches all of

  • ick
  • Nick
  • nick
  • Nnick
  • nNick
  • nnick
  • (and so on)

The first match demonstrates an important lesson: * always succeeds! Any pattern can match zero times.

A few other useful examples:

  • [0-9]+ (and its equivalent \d+) matches any non-negative integer
  • \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} matches dates formatted like 2019-01-01

Grouping

A quantifier modifies the pattern to its immediate left. You might expect 0abc+0 to match '0abc0', '0abcabc0', and so forth, but the pattern immediately to the left of the plus quantifier is c. This means 0abc+0 matches '0abc0', '0abcc0', '0abccc0', and so on.

To match one or more sequences of 'abc' with zeros on the ends, use 0(abc)+0. The parentheses denote a subpattern that can be quantified as a unit. It's also common for regular expression engines to save or "capture" the portion of the input text that matches a parenthesized group. Extracting bits this way is much more flexible and less error-prone than counting indices and substr.

Alternation

Earlier, we saw one way to match either 'Nick' or 'nick'. Another is with alternation as in Nick|nick. Remember that alternation includes everything to its left and everything to its right. Use grouping parentheses to limit the scope of |, e.g., (Nick|nick).

For another example, you could equivalently write [a-c] as a|b|c, but this is likely to be suboptimal because many implementations assume alternatives will have lengths greater than 1.

Escaping

Although some characters match themselves, others have special meanings. The pattern \d+ doesn't match backslash followed by lowercase D followed by a plus sign: to get that, we'd use \\d\+. A backslash removes the special meaning from the following character.

Greediness

Regular expression quantifiers are greedy. This means they match as much text as they possibly can while allowing the entire pattern to match successfully.

For example, say the input is

"Hello," she said, "How are you?"

You might expect ".+" to match only 'Hello,' and will then be surprised when you see that it matched from 'Hello' all the way through 'you?'.

To switch from greedy to what you might think of as cautious, add an extra ? to the quantifier. Now you understand how \((.+?)\), the example from your question works. It matches the sequence of a literal left-parenthesis, followed by one or more characters, and terminated by a right-parenthesis.

If your input is '(123) (456)', then the first capture will be '123'. Non-greedy quantifiers want to allow the rest of the pattern to start matching as soon as possible.

(As to your confusion, I don't know of any regular-expression dialect where ((.+?)) would do the same thing. I suspect something got lost in transmission somewhere along the way.)

Anchors

Use the special pattern ^ to match only at the beginning of your input and $ to match only at the end. Making "bookends" with your patterns where you say, "I know what's at the front and back, but give me everything between" is a useful technique.

Say you want to match comments of the form

-- This is a comment --

you'd write ^--\s+(.+)\s+--$.

Build your own

Regular expressions are recursive, so now that you understand these basic rules, you can combine them however you like.

Footnote

†: The statement above that . matches any character is a simplification for pedagogical purposes that is not strictly true. Dot matches any character except newline, "\n", but in practice you rarely expect a pattern such as .+ to cross a newline boundary. Perl regexes have a /s switch and Java Pattern.DOTALL, for example, to make . match any character at all. For languages that don't have such a feature, you can use something like [\s\S] to match "any whitespace or any non-whitespace", in other words anything.

Detect if an input has text in it using CSS -- on a page I am visiting and do not control?

The valid selector will do the trick.

<input type="text" class="myText" required="required" />

.myText {
    //default style of input
}
.myText:valid {
    //style when input has text
}

What are the most common naming conventions in C?

I'm confused by one thing: You're planning to create a new naming convention for a new project. Generally you should have a naming convention that is company- or team-wide. If you already have projects that have any form of naming convention, you should not change the convention for a new project. If the convention above is just codification of your existing practices, then you are golden. The more it differs from existing de facto standards the harder it will be to gain mindshare in the new standard.

About the only suggestion I would add is I've taken a liking to _t at the end of types in the style of uint32_t and size_t. It's very C-ish to me although some might complain it's just "reverse" Hungarian.

What evaluates to True/False in R?

T and TRUE are True, F and FALSE are False. T and F can be redefined, however, so you should only rely upon TRUE and FALSE. If you compare 0 to FALSE and 1 to TRUE, you will find that they are equal as well, so you might consider them to be True and False as well.

What does .class mean in Java?

.class is used when there isn't an instance of the class available.

.getClass() is used when there is an instance of the class available.

object.getClass() returns the class of the given object.

For example:

String string = "hello";
System.out.println(string.getClass().toString());

This will output:

class java.lang.String

This is the class of the string object :)

How can I detect keydown or keypress event in angular.js?

You were on the right track with your "ng-keydown" attribute on the input, but you missed a simple step. Just because you put the ng-keydown attribute there, doesn't mean angular knows what to do with it. That's where "directives" come into play. You used the attribute correctly, but you now need to write a directive that will tell angular what to do when it sees that attribute on an html element.

The following is an example of how you would do that. We'll rename the directive from ng-keydown to on-keydown (to avoid breaking the "best practice" found here):

var mod = angular.module('mydirectives');
mod.directive('onKeydown', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
             // this next line will convert the string
             // function name into an actual function
             var functionToCall = scope.$eval(attrs.ngKeydown);
             elem.on('keydown', function(e){
                  // on the keydown event, call my function
                  // and pass it the keycode of the key
                  // that was pressed
                  // ex: if ENTER was pressed, e.which == 13
                  functionToCall(e.which);
             });
        }
    };
});

The directive simple tells angular that when it sees an HTML attribute called "ng-keydown", it should listen to the element that has that attribute and call whatever function is passed to it. In the html you would have the following:

<input type="text" on-keydown="onKeydown">

And then in your controller (just like you already had), you would add a function to your controller's scope that is called "onKeydown", like so:

$scope.onKeydown = function(keycode){
    // do something with the keycode
}

Hopefully that helps either you or someone else who wants to know

Is there a goto statement in Java?

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-6.html#jvms-6.5.goto

If you have been told that there is no goto statement in Java you have been fooled. Indeed, Java consists two layers of 'source' code.

text-overflow: ellipsis not working

You may try using ellipsis by adding the following in CSS:

can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'

In this line:

fund = fund * (1 + 0.01 * growthRates) + depositPerYear

growthRates is a sequence ([3,4,5,0,3]). You can't multiply that sequence by a float (0.1). It looks like what you wanted to put there was i.

Incidentally, i is not a great name for that variable. Consider something more descriptive, like growthRate or rate.

Clone an image in cv2 python

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

newImage = myImage.copy()

The above is enough. No need to import numpy.

Apache won't start in wamp

If you have an issue in the httpd.conf or any files included by it there are a couple of ways to find out what the problem is

First look at your Windows Event Viewer. Click on the Windows link in the menu on the left, and then submenu Applications. Look for messages from Apache with the red error icon.

Secondly, open a command window, then CD into \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.x.y\bin, replace x,y with your actual version. Now you can run this command to get Apache(httpd) to vaidate the httpd.conf file.

httpd.exe -t

This should give errors with line numbers related to the http.conf file. It stops on the first error, so you will have to keep running it and fixing the error and then run it again until it gives the all OK message.

After installation of Gulp: “no command 'gulp' found”

Installing on a Mac - Sierra - After numerous failed attempts to install and run gulp globally via the command line using several different instructions I found I added this to my path and it worked:

I got that path from the text output when installing gulp.

Excel Formula which places date/time in cell when data is entered in another cell in the same row

Not sure if this works for cells with functions but I found this code elsewhere for single cell entries and modified it for my use. If done properly, you do not need to worry about entering a function in a cell or the file changing the dates to that day's date every time it is opened.

  • open Excel
  • press "Alt+F11"
  • Double-click on the worksheet that you want to apply the change to (listed on the left)
  • copy/paste the code below
  • adjust the Range(:) input to correspond to the column you will update
  • adjust the Offset(0,_) input to correspond to the column where you would like the date displayed (in the version below I am making updates to column D and I want the date displayed in column F, hence the input entry of "2" for 2 columns over from column D)
  • hit save
  • repeat steps above if there are other worksheets in your workbook that need the same code
  • you may have to change the number format of the column displaying the date to "General" and increase the column's width if it is displaying "####" after you make an updated entry

Copy/Paste Code below:


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Intersect(Target, Range("D:D")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Target.Offset(0, 2) = Date

End Sub


Good luck...

What does the restrict keyword mean in C++?

As others said, if means nothing as of C++14, so let's consider the __restrict__ GCC extension which does the same as the C99 restrict.

C99

restrict says that two pointers cannot point to overlapping memory regions. The most common usage is for function arguments.

This restricts how the function can be called, but allows for more compile optimizations.

If the caller does not follow the restrict contract, undefined behavior.

The C99 N1256 draft 6.7.3/7 "Type qualifiers" says:

The intended use of the restrict qualifier (like the register storage class) is to promote optimization, and deleting all instances of the qualifier from all preprocessing translation units composing a conforming program does not change its meaning (i.e., observable behavior).

and 6.7.3.1 "Formal definition of restrict" gives the gory details.

A possible optimization

The Wikipedia example is very illuminating.

It clearly shows how as it allows to save one assembly instruction.

Without restrict:

void f(int *a, int *b, int *x) {
  *a += *x;
  *b += *x;
}

Pseudo assembly:

load R1 ? *x    ; Load the value of x pointer
load R2 ? *a    ; Load the value of a pointer
add R2 += R1    ; Perform Addition
set R2 ? *a     ; Update the value of a pointer
; Similarly for b, note that x is loaded twice,
; because x may point to a (a aliased by x) thus 
; the value of x will change when the value of a
; changes.
load R1 ? *x
load R2 ? *b
add R2 += R1
set R2 ? *b

With restrict:

void fr(int *restrict a, int *restrict b, int *restrict x);

Pseudo assembly:

load R1 ? *x
load R2 ? *a
add R2 += R1
set R2 ? *a
; Note that x is not reloaded,
; because the compiler knows it is unchanged
; "load R1 ? *x" is no longer needed.
load R2 ? *b
add R2 += R1
set R2 ? *b

Does GCC really do it?

g++ 4.8 Linux x86-64:

g++ -g -std=gnu++98 -O0 -c main.cpp
objdump -S main.o

With -O0, they are the same.

With -O3:

void f(int *a, int *b, int *x) {
    *a += *x;
   0:   8b 02                   mov    (%rdx),%eax
   2:   01 07                   add    %eax,(%rdi)
    *b += *x;
   4:   8b 02                   mov    (%rdx),%eax
   6:   01 06                   add    %eax,(%rsi)  

void fr(int *__restrict__ a, int *__restrict__ b, int *__restrict__ x) {
    *a += *x;
  10:   8b 02                   mov    (%rdx),%eax
  12:   01 07                   add    %eax,(%rdi)
    *b += *x;
  14:   01 06                   add    %eax,(%rsi) 

For the uninitiated, the calling convention is:

  • rdi = first parameter
  • rsi = second parameter
  • rdx = third parameter

GCC output was even clearer than the wiki article: 4 instructions vs 3 instructions.

Arrays

So far we have single instruction savings, but if pointer represent arrays to be looped over, a common use case, then a bunch of instructions could be saved, as mentioned by supercat and michael.

Consider for example:

void f(char *restrict p1, char *restrict p2, size_t size) {
     for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) {
         p1[i] = 4;
         p2[i] = 9;
     }
 }

Because of restrict, a smart compiler (or human), could optimize that to:

memset(p1, 4, size);
memset(p2, 9, size);

Which is potentially much more efficient as it may be assembly optimized on a decent libc implementation (like glibc) Is it better to use std::memcpy() or std::copy() in terms to performance?, possibly with SIMD instructions.

Without, restrict, this optimization could not be done, e.g. consider:

char p1[4];
char *p2 = &p1[1];
f(p1, p2, 3);

Then for version makes:

p1 == {4, 4, 4, 9}

while the memset version makes:

p1 == {4, 9, 9, 9}

Does GCC really do it?

GCC 5.2.1.Linux x86-64 Ubuntu 15.10:

gcc -g -std=c99 -O0 -c main.c
objdump -dr main.o

With -O0, both are the same.

With -O3:

    Two memset calls as expected.

  • without restrict: no stdlib calls, just a 16 iteration wide loop unrolling which I do not intend to reproduce here :-)

I haven't had the patience to benchmark them, but I believe that the restrict version will be faster.

Strict aliasing rule

The restrict keyword only affects pointers of compatible types (e.g. two int*) because the strict aliasing rules says that aliasing incompatible types is undefined behavior by default, and so compilers can assume it does not happen and optimize away.

See: What is the strict aliasing rule?

Does it work for references?

According to the GCC docs it does: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.1.0/gcc/Restricted-Pointers.html with syntax:

int &__restrict__ rref

There is even a version for this of member functions:

void T::fn () __restrict__
