Git error on git pull (unable to update local ref)

My team and I ran into this error, unable to update local ref, when doing a pull in SourceTree.

Update 2020: Per @Edward Yang's answer below, @bryan's comment on this answer, and this question/answer you may need to run both git gc --prune=now and git remote prune origin. Running only the former has always worked for me but based on ppl's responses I think both are necessary to address different causes of the error.

We used:

git gc --prune=now

This removes any duplicate reference objects which should fix the issue.

Here are a few links where you can learn more about git references and pruning :

What is simplest way to read a file into String?

Don't write your own util class to do this - I would recommend using Guava, which is full of all kinds of goodness. In this case you'd want either the Files class (if you're really just reading a file) or CharStreams for more general purpose reading. It has methods to read the data into a list of strings (readLines) or totally (toString).

It has similar useful methods for binary data too. And then there's the rest of the library...

I agree it's annoying that there's nothing similar in the standard libraries. Heck, just being able to supply a CharSet to a FileReader would make life a little simpler...

Bootstrap control with multiple "data-toggle"

Since Bootstrap forces you to initialize tooltips only through Javascript, I changed data-toggle="tooltip" (since it's useless then) to class="bootstrap-tooltip" and used this Javascript to initialize my tooltips:

$('.bootstrap-tooltip').tooltip();

And so I was free to use the data-toggle attribute for something else (e.g. data-toggle="button").

Change arrow colors in Bootstraps carousel

If you just want to make them black in Bootstrap 4+.

.carousel-control-next,
.carousel-control-prev /*, .carousel-indicators */ {
    filter: invert(100%);
}

How can I declare a global variable in Angular 2 / Typescript?

Create Globals class in app/globals.ts:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

Injectable()
export class Globals{
    VAR1 = 'value1';
    VAR2 = 'value2';
}

In your component:

import { Globals } from './globals';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    providers: [ Globals ],
    template: `<h1>My Component {{globals.VAR1}}<h1/>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    constructor(private globals: Globals){
    }
}

Note: You can add Globals service provider directly to the module instead of the component, and you will not need to add as a provider to every component in that module.

@NgModule({
    imports: [...],
    declarations: [...],
    providers: [ Globals ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {
}

What is the difference between background, backgroundTint, backgroundTintMode attributes in android layout xml?

BackgroundTint works as color filter.

FEFBDE as tint

37AEE4 as background

Try seeing the difference by comment tint/background and check the output when both are set.

How to send Request payload to REST API in java?

I tried with a rest client.

Headers :

  • POST /r/gerrit/rpc/ChangeDetailService HTTP/1.1
  • Host: git.eclipse.org
  • User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
  • Accept: application/json
  • Accept-Language: null
  • Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
  • accept-charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
  • Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
  • Content-Length: 73
  • Connection: keep-alive

it works fine. I retrieve 200 OK with a good body.

Why do you set a status code in your request? and multiple declaration "Accept" with Accept:application/json,application/json,application/jsonrequest. just a statement is enough.

How to give a user only select permission on a database

You could add the user to the Database Level Role db_datareader.

Members of the db_datareader fixed database role can run a SELECT statement against any table or view in the database.

See Books Online for reference:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189121%28SQL.90%29.aspx

You can add a database user to a database role using the following query:

EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_datareader', N'userName'

How to wait for a JavaScript Promise to resolve before resuming function?

You can do it manually. (I know, that that isn't great solution, but..) use while loop till the result hasn't a value

kickOff().then(function(result) {
   while(true){
       if (result === undefined) continue;
       else {
            $("#output").append(result);
            return;
       }
   }
});

Best way to determine user's locale within browser

This article suggests the following properties of the browser's navigator object:

  • navigator.language (Netscape - Browser Localization)
  • navigator.browserLanguage (IE-Specific - Browser Localized Language)
  • navigator.systemLanguage (IE-Specific - Windows OS - Localized Language)
  • navigator.userLanguage

Roll these into a javascript function and you should be able to guess the right language, in most circumstances. Be sure to degrade gracefully, so have a div containing your language choice links, so that if there is no javascript or the method doesn't work, the user can still decide. If it does work, just hide the div.

The only problem with doing this on the client side is that either you serve up all the languages to the client, or you have to wait until the script has run and detected the language before requesting the right version. Perhaps serving up the most popular language version as a default would irritate the fewest people.

Edit: I'd second Ivan's cookie suggestion, but make sure the user can always change the language later; not everyone prefers the language their browser defaults to.

How to duplicate a whole line in Vim?

If you want another way:

"ayy: This will store the line in buffer a.

"ap: This will put the contents of buffer a at the cursor.

There are many variations on this.

"a5yy: This will store the 5 lines in buffer a.

See "Vim help files for more fun.

Why is Tkinter Entry's get function returning nothing?

A simple example without classes:

from tkinter import *    
master = Tk()

# Create this method before you create the entry
def return_entry(en):
    """Gets and prints the content of the entry"""
    content = entry.get()
    print(content)  

Label(master, text="Input: ").grid(row=0, sticky=W)

entry = Entry(master)
entry.grid(row=0, column=1)

# Connect the entry with the return button
entry.bind('<Return>', return_entry) 

mainloop()

How to do a GitHub pull request

  • Go to terminal and run git clone <clone url you copied earlier>
  • Make a branch for changes you're makeing git checkout -b branch-name
  • Make necessary changes
  • Commit your changes git commit
  • Push your changes to your fork on GitHub git push origin branch-name
  • Go to your fork on GitHub to see a Compare and pull request button
  • Click on it and give necessary details

How do I programmatically "restart" an Android app?

    mActivity.finish();
    mActivity.startActivity(mIntent);
}

How to make a great R reproducible example

Personally, I prefer "one" liners. Something along the lines:

my.df <- data.frame(col1 = sample(c(1,2), 10, replace = TRUE),
        col2 = as.factor(sample(10)), col3 = letters[1:10],
        col4 = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), 10, replace = TRUE))
my.list <- list(list1 = my.df, list2 = my.df[3], list3 = letters)

The data structure should mimic the idea of the writer's problem and not the exact verbatim structure. I really appreciate it when variables don't overwrite my own variables or god forbid, functions (like df).

Alternatively, one could cut a few corners and point to a pre-existing data set, something like:

library(vegan)
data(varespec)
ord <- metaMDS(varespec)

Don't forget to mention any special packages you might be using.

If you're trying to demonstrate something on larger objects, you can try

my.df2 <- data.frame(a = sample(10e6), b = sample(letters, 10e6, replace = TRUE))

If you're working with spatial data via the raster package, you can generate some random data. A lot of examples can be found in the package vignette, but here's a small nugget.

library(raster)
r1 <- r2 <- r3 <- raster(nrow=10, ncol=10)
values(r1) <- runif(ncell(r1))
values(r2) <- runif(ncell(r2))
values(r3) <- runif(ncell(r3))
s <- stack(r1, r2, r3)

If you need some spatial object as implemented in sp, you can get some datasets via external files (like ESRI shapefile) in "spatial" packages (see the Spatial view in Task Views).

library(rgdal)
ogrDrivers()
dsn <- system.file("vectors", package = "rgdal")[1]
ogrListLayers(dsn)
ogrInfo(dsn=dsn, layer="cities")
cities <- readOGR(dsn=dsn, layer="cities")

Xcode Objective-C | iOS: delay function / NSTimer help?

How exactly does the android:onClick XML attribute differ from setOnClickListener?

The best way to do this is with the following code:

 Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_register);
 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //do your fancy method
            }
        });

MySQL vs MongoDB 1000 reads

Do you have concurrency, i.e simultaneous users ? If you just run 1000 times the query straight, with just one thread, there will be almost no difference. Too easy for these engines :)

BUT I strongly suggest that you build a true load testing session, which means using an injector such as JMeter with 10, 20 or 50 users AT THE SAME TIME so you can really see a difference (try to embed this code inside a web page JMeter could query).

I just did it today on a single server (and a simple collection / table) and the results are quite interesting and surprising (MongoDb was really faster on writes & reads, compared to MyISAM engine and InnoDb engine).

This really should be part of your test : concurrency & MySQL engine. Then, data/schema design & application needs are of course huge requirements, beyond response times. Let me know when you get results, I'm also in need of inputs about this!

Fastest method to replace all instances of a character in a string

@Gumbo adding extra answer - user.email.replace(/foo/gi,"bar");

/foo/g - Refers to the all string to replace matching the case sensitive

/foo/gi - Refers to the without case sensitive and replace all For Eg: (Foo, foo, FoO, fOO)

DEMO

Difference between require, include, require_once and include_once?

From the manual:

require() is identical to include() except upon failure it will also produce a fatal E_COMPILE_ERROR level error. In other words, it will halt the script whereas include() only emits a warning (E_WARNING) which allows the script to continue.

The same is true for the _once() variants.

Install a module using pip for specific python version

You can use this syntax

python_version -m pip install your_package

For example. If you're running python3.5, you named it as "python3", and want to install numpy package

python3 -m pip install numpy

How to create byte array from HttpPostedFile

Use a BinaryReader object to return a byte array from the stream like:

byte[] fileData = null;
using (var binaryReader = new BinaryReader(Request.Files[0].InputStream))
{
    fileData = binaryReader.ReadBytes(Request.Files[0].ContentLength);
}

Extract Data from PDF and Add to Worksheet

You can open the PDF file and extract its contents using the Adobe library (which I believe you can download from Adobe as part of the SDK, but it comes with certain versions of Acrobat as well)

Make sure to add the Library to your references too (On my machine it is the Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library, but not sure if that is the newest version)

Even with the Adobe library it is not trivial (you'll need to add your own error-trapping etc):

Function getTextFromPDF(ByVal strFilename As String) As String
   Dim objAVDoc As New AcroAVDoc
   Dim objPDDoc As New AcroPDDoc
   Dim objPage As AcroPDPage
   Dim objSelection As AcroPDTextSelect
   Dim objHighlight As AcroHiliteList
   Dim pageNum As Long
   Dim strText As String

   strText = ""
   If (objAvDoc.Open(strFilename, "") Then
      Set objPDDoc = objAVDoc.GetPDDoc
      For pageNum = 0 To objPDDoc.GetNumPages() - 1
         Set objPage = objPDDoc.AcquirePage(pageNum)
         Set objHighlight = New AcroHiliteList
         objHighlight.Add 0, 10000 ' Adjust this up if it's not getting all the text on the page
         Set objSelection = objPage.CreatePageHilite(objHighlight)

         If Not objSelection Is Nothing Then
            For tCount = 0 To objSelection.GetNumText - 1
               strText = strText & objSelection.GetText(tCount)
            Next tCount
         End If
      Next pageNum
      objAVDoc.Close 1
   End If

   getTextFromPDF = strText

End Function

What this does is essentially the same thing you are trying to do - only using Adobe's own library. It's going through the PDF one page at a time, highlighting all of the text on the page, then dropping it (one text element at a time) into a string.

Keep in mind what you get from this could be full of all kinds of non-printing characters (line feeds, newlines, etc) that could even end up in the middle of what look like contiguous blocks of text, so you may need additional code to clean it up before you can use it.

Hope that helps!

Split a large pandas dataframe

You can use groupby, assuming you have an integer enumerated index:

import math
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(sample=np.arange(99)))
rows_per_subframe = math.ceil(len(df) / 4.)

subframes = [i[1] for i in df.groupby(np.arange(len(df))//rows_per_subframe)]

Note: groupby returns a tuple in which the 2nd element is the dataframe, thus the slightly complicated extraction.

>>> len(subframes), [len(i) for i in subframes]
(4, [25, 25, 25, 24])

How to solve "The specified service has been marked for deletion" error

Most probably deleting service fails because

protected override void OnStop()

throw error when stopping a service. wrapping things inside a try catch will prevent mark for deletion error

protected override void OnStop()
{
            try
            {
                //things to do
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
            }

}

How do you run a command for each line of a file?

Yes.

while read in; do chmod 755 "$in"; done < file.txt

This way you can avoid a cat process.

cat is almost always bad for a purpose such as this. You can read more about Useless Use of Cat.

How do I build JSON dynamically in javascript?

As myJSON is an object you can just set its properties, for example:

myJSON.list1 = ["1","2"];

If you dont know the name of the properties, you have to use the array access syntax:

myJSON['list'+listnum] = ["1","2"];

If you want to add an element to one of the properties, you can do;

myJSON.list1.push("3");

How to print bytes in hexadecimal using System.out.println?

byte test[] = new byte[3];
test[0] = 0x0A;
test[1] = 0xFF;
test[2] = 0x01;

for (byte theByte : test)
{
  System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(theByte));
}

NOTE: test[1] = 0xFF; this wont compile, you cant put 255 (FF) into a byte, java will want to use an int.

you might be able to do...

test[1] = (byte) 0xFF;

I'd test if I was near my IDE (if I was near my IDE I wouln't be on Stackoverflow)

Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Destination [43]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21

So this error is occurring because you have a value in your source for the AppID column that is not valid for your AppID column in the destination.

Some possible examples:

  • You're trying to insert a 10 character value into an 8 character field.
  • You're trying to insert a value larger than 127 into a tinyint field.
  • You're trying to insert the value 6.4578 into a decimal(5,1) field.

SSIS is governed by metadata, and it expects that you've set up your inputs and outputs properly such that the acceptable values for both are within the same range.

Regex to split a CSV

Yet another answer with a few extra features like support for quoted values that contain escaped quotes and CR/LF characters (single values that span multiple lines).

NOTE: Though the solution below can likely be adapted for other regex engines, using it as-is will require that your regex engine treats multiple named capture groups using the same name as one single capture group. (.NET does this by default)


When multiple lines/records of a CSV file/stream (matching RFC standard 4180) are passed to the regular expression below it will return a match for each non-empty line/record. Each match will contain a capture group named Value that contains the captured values in that line/record (and potentially an OpenValue capture group if there was an open quote at the end of the line/record).

Here's the commented pattern (test it on Regexstorm.net):

(?<=\r|\n|^)(?!\r|\n|$)                       // Records start at the beginning of line (line must not be empty)
(?:                                           // Group for each value and a following comma or end of line (EOL) - required for quantifier (+?)
  (?:                                         // Group for matching one of the value formats before a comma or EOL
    "(?<Value>(?:[^"]|"")*)"|                 // Quoted value -or-
    (?<Value>(?!")[^,\r\n]+)|                 // Unquoted value -or-
    "(?<OpenValue>(?:[^"]|"")*)(?=\r|\n|$)|   // Open ended quoted value -or-
    (?<Value>)                                // Empty value before comma (before EOL is excluded by "+?" quantifier later)
  )
  (?:,|(?=\r|\n|$))                           // The value format matched must be followed by a comma or EOL
)+?                                           // Quantifier to match one or more values (non-greedy/as few as possible to prevent infinite empty values)
(?:(?<=,)(?<Value>))?                         // If the group of values above ended in a comma then add an empty value to the group of matched values
(?:\r\n|\r|\n|$)                              // Records end at EOL


Here's the raw pattern without all the comments or whitespace.

(?<=\r|\n|^)(?!\r|\n|$)(?:(?:"(?<Value>(?:[^"]|"")*)"|(?<Value>(?!")[^,\r\n]+)|"(?<OpenValue>(?:[^"]|"")*)(?=\r|\n|$)|(?<Value>))(?:,|(?=\r|\n|$)))+?(?:(?<=,)(?<Value>))?(?:\r\n|\r|\n|$)


Here is a visualization from Debuggex.com (capture groups named for clarity): Debuggex.com visualization

Examples on how to use the regex pattern can be found on my answer to a similar question here, or on C# pad here, or here.

Setting Oracle 11g Session Timeout

Adam has already suggested database profiles.

You could check the SQLNET.ORA file. There's an EXPIRE_TIME parameter but this is for detecting lost connections, rather than terminating existing ones.

Given it happens overnight, it sounds more like an idle timeout, which could be down to a firewall between the app server and database server. Setting the EXPIRE_TIME may stop that happening (as there'll be check every 10 minutes to check the client is alive).

Or possibly the database is being shutdown and restarted and that is killing the connections.

Alternatively, you should be able to configure tomcat with a validationQuery so that it will automatically restart the connection without a tomcat restart

JavaScript calculate the day of the year (1 - 366)

This is a simple way to find the current day in the year, and it should account for leap years without a problem:

Javascript:

Math.round((new Date().setHours(23) - new Date(new Date().getYear()+1900, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0))/1000/60/60/24);

Javascript in Google Apps Script:

Math.round((new Date().setHours(23) - new Date(new Date().getYear(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0))/1000/60/60/24);

The primary action of this code is to find the number of milliseconds that have elapsed in the current year and then convert this number into days. The number of milliseconds that have elapsed in the current year can be found by subtracting the number of milliseconds of the first second of the first day of the current year, which is obtained with new Date(new Date().getYear()+1900, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0) (Javascript) or new Date(new Date().getYear(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0) (Google Apps Script), from the milliseconds of the 23rd hour of the current day, which was found with new Date().setHours(23). The purpose of setting the current date to the 23rd hour is to ensure that the day of year is rounded correctly by Math.round().

Once you have the number of milliseconds of the current year, then you can convert this time into days by dividing by 1000 to convert milliseconds to seconds, then dividing by 60 to convert seconds to minutes, then dividing by 60 to convert minutes to hours, and finally dividing by 24 to convert hours to days.

Note: This post was edited to account for differences between JavaScript and JavaScript implemented in Google Apps Script. Also, more context was added for the answer.

Return sql rows where field contains ONLY non-alphanumeric characters

SQL Server doesn't have regular expressions. It uses the LIKE pattern matching syntax which isn't the same.

As it happens, you are close. Just need leading+trailing wildcards and move the NOT

 WHERE whatever NOT LIKE '%[a-z0-9]%'

Python integer incrementing with ++

Simply put, the ++ and -- operators don't exist in Python because they wouldn't be operators, they would have to be statements. All namespace modification in Python is a statement, for simplicity and consistency. That's one of the design decisions. And because integers are immutable, the only way to 'change' a variable is by reassigning it.

Fortunately we have wonderful tools for the use-cases of ++ and -- in other languages, like enumerate() and itertools.count().

I had the exact same error but with slightly different format and root-cause, and since this is the first Q&A that pops up when you search for "time data does not match format", I thought I'd leave the mistake I made for future viewers:

My initial code:

start = datetime.strptime('05-SEP-19 00.00.00.000 AM', '%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S.%f %p')

Where I used %I to parse the hours and %p to parse 'AM/PM'.

The error:

ValueError: time data '05-SEP-19 00.00.00.000000 AM' does not match format '%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S.%f %p'

I was going through the datetime docs and finally realized in 12-hour format %I, there is no 00... once I changed 00.00.00 to 12.00.00, the problem was resolved.

So it's either 01-12 using %I with %p, or 00-23 using %H.

How to discard uncommitted changes in SourceTree?

Do as follow,

  • Click on commit
  • Select all by pressing CMD+A that you want to delete or discard
  • Right click on the selected uncommitted files that you want to delete
  • Select Remove from the drop-down list

taking input of a string word by word

getline is storing the entire line at once, which is not what you want. A simple fix is to have three variables and use cin to get them all. C++ will parse automatically at the spaces.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string a, b, c;
    cin >> a >> b >> c;
    //now you have your three words
    return 0;
}

I don't know what particular "operation" you're talking about, so I can't help you there, but if it's changing characters, read up on string and indices. The C++ documentation is great. As for using namespace std; versus std:: and other libraries, there's already been a lot said. Try these questions on StackOverflow to start.

Inline functions in C#?

Do you mean inline functions in the C++ sense? In which the contents of a normal function are automatically copied inline into the callsite? The end effect being that no function call actually happens when calling a function.

Example:

inline int Add(int left, int right) { return left + right; }

If so then no, there is no C# equivalent to this.

Or Do you mean functions that are declared within another function? If so then yes, C# supports this via anonymous methods or lambda expressions.

Example:

static void Example() {
  Func<int,int,int> add = (x,y) => x + y;
  var result = add(4,6);  // 10
}

Program to find prime numbers

This solution displays all prime numbers between 0 and 100.

        int counter = 0;
        for (int c = 0; c <= 100; c++)
        {
            counter = 0;
            for (int i = 1; i <= c; i++)
            {
                if (c % i == 0)
                { counter++; }
            }
            if (counter == 2)
            { Console.Write(c + " "); }
        }

Counting no of rows returned by a select query

The syntax error is just due to a missing alias for the subquery:

select COUNT(*) from
(
select m.Company_id
from Monitor as m
    inner join Monitor_Request as mr on mr.Company_ID=m.Company_id
    group by m.Company_id
    having COUNT(m.Monitor_id)>=5)  mySubQuery  /* Alias */

PowerShell - Start-Process and Cmdline Switches

I've found using cmd works well as an alternative, especially when you need to pipe the output from the called application (espeically when it doesn't have built in logging, unlike msbuild)

cmd /C "$msbuild $args" >> $outputfile

Random "Element is no longer attached to the DOM" StaleElementReferenceException

I had the same problem and mine was caused by an old selenium version. I cannot update to a newer version due to development environment. The problem is caused by HTMLUnitWebElement.switchFocusToThisIfNeeded(). When you navigate to a new page it might happen that the element you clicked on the old page is the oldActiveElement (see below). Selenium tries to get context from the old element and fails. That's why they built a try catch in future releases.

Code from selenium-htmlunit-driver version < 2.23.0:

private void switchFocusToThisIfNeeded() {
    HtmlUnitWebElement oldActiveElement =
        ((HtmlUnitWebElement)parent.switchTo().activeElement());

    boolean jsEnabled = parent.isJavascriptEnabled();
    boolean oldActiveEqualsCurrent = oldActiveElement.equals(this);
    boolean isBody = oldActiveElement.getTagName().toLowerCase().equals("body");
    if (jsEnabled &&
        !oldActiveEqualsCurrent &&
        !isBody) {
      oldActiveElement.element.blur();
      element.focus();
    }
}

Code from selenium-htmlunit-driver version >= 2.23.0:

private void switchFocusToThisIfNeeded() {
    HtmlUnitWebElement oldActiveElement =
        ((HtmlUnitWebElement)parent.switchTo().activeElement());

    boolean jsEnabled = parent.isJavascriptEnabled();
    boolean oldActiveEqualsCurrent = oldActiveElement.equals(this);
    try {
        boolean isBody = oldActiveElement.getTagName().toLowerCase().equals("body");
        if (jsEnabled &&
            !oldActiveEqualsCurrent &&
            !isBody) {
        oldActiveElement.element.blur();
        }
    } catch (StaleElementReferenceException ex) {
      // old element has gone, do nothing
    }
    element.focus();
}

Without updating to 2.23.0 or newer you can just give any element on the page focus. I just used element.click() for example.

How can I specify the default JVM arguments for programs I run from eclipse?

Go to Window → Preferences → Java → Installed JREs. Select the JRE you're using, click Edit, and there will be a line for Default VM Arguments which will apply to every execution. For instance, I use this on OS X to hide the icon from the dock, increase max memory and turn on assertions:

-Xmx512m -ea -Djava.awt.headless=true

How to import an existing directory into Eclipse?

For Spring Tool Suite I do:

File -> Open projects from File System

How can I disable notices and warnings in PHP within the .htaccess file?

If you are in a shared hosting plan that doesn't have PHP installed as a module you will get a 500 server error when adding those flags to the .htaccess file.

But you can add the line

ini_set('display_errors','off');

on top of your .php file and it should work without any errors.

How to bind Close command to a button

Actually, it is possible without C# code. The key is to use interactions:

<Button Content="Close">
  <i:Interaction.Triggers>
    <i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
      <ei:CallMethodAction TargetObject="{Binding ElementName=window}" MethodName="Close"/>
    </i:EventTrigger>
  </i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Button>

In order for this to work, just set the x:Name of your window to "window", and add these two namespaces:

xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity" 
xmlns:ei="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactions"

This requires that you add the Expression Blend SDK DLL to your project, specifically Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.

In case you don't have Blend, the SDK can be downloaded here.

mySQL select IN range

You can't, but you can use BETWEEN

SELECT job FROM mytable WHERE id BETWEEN 10 AND 15

Note that BETWEEN is inclusive, and will include items with both id 10 and 15.

If you do not want inclusion, you'll have to fall back to using the > and < operators.

SELECT job FROM mytable WHERE id > 10 AND id < 15

How can I concatenate two arrays in Java?

Here is what worked for me:

String[] data=null;
String[] data2=null;
ArrayList<String> data1 = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i=0; i<2;i++) {
   data2 = input.readLine().split(",");
   data1.addAll(Arrays.asList(data2));
   data= data1.toArray(new String[data1.size()]);
   }

How to include scripts located inside the node_modules folder?

To use multiple files from node_modules in html, the best way I've found is to put them to an array and then loop on them to make them visible for web clients, for example to use filepond modules from node_modules:

const filePondModules = ['filepond-plugin-file-encode', 'filepond-plugin-image-preview', 'filepond-plugin-image-resize', 'filepond']
filePondModules.forEach(currentModule => {
    let module_dir = require.resolve(currentModule)
                           .match(/.*\/node_modules\/[^/]+\//)[0];
    app.use('/' + currentModule, express.static(module_dir + 'dist/'));
})

And then in the html (or layout) file, just call them like this :

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/filepond/filepond.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/filepond-plugin-image-preview/filepond-plugin-image-preview.css">
...
    <script src="/filepond-plugin-image-preview/filepond-plugin-image-preview.js" ></script>
    <script src="/filepond-plugin-file-encode/filepond-plugin-file-encode.js"></script>
    <script src="/filepond-plugin-image-resize/filepond-plugin-image-resize.js"></script>
    <script src="/filepond/filepond.js"></script>

JavaScriptSerializer - JSON serialization of enum as string

This is an old question but I thought I'd contribute just in case. In my projects I use separate models for any Json requests. A model would typically have same name as domain object with "Json" prefix. Models are mapped using AutoMapper. By having the json model declare a string property that is an enum on domain class, AutoMapper will resolve to it's string presentation.

In case you are wondering, I need separate models for Json serialized classes because inbuilt serializer comes up with circular references otherwise.

Hope this helps someone.

How to trace the path in a Breadth-First Search?

You should have look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search first.


Below is a quick implementation, in which I used a list of list to represent the queue of paths.

# graph is in adjacent list representation
graph = {
        '1': ['2', '3', '4'],
        '2': ['5', '6'],
        '5': ['9', '10'],
        '4': ['7', '8'],
        '7': ['11', '12']
        }

def bfs(graph, start, end):
    # maintain a queue of paths
    queue = []
    # push the first path into the queue
    queue.append([start])
    while queue:
        # get the first path from the queue
        path = queue.pop(0)
        # get the last node from the path
        node = path[-1]
        # path found
        if node == end:
            return path
        # enumerate all adjacent nodes, construct a new path and push it into the queue
        for adjacent in graph.get(node, []):
            new_path = list(path)
            new_path.append(adjacent)
            queue.append(new_path)

print bfs(graph, '1', '11')

Another approach would be maintaining a mapping from each node to its parent, and when inspecting the adjacent node, record its parent. When the search is done, simply backtrace according the parent mapping.

graph = {
        '1': ['2', '3', '4'],
        '2': ['5', '6'],
        '5': ['9', '10'],
        '4': ['7', '8'],
        '7': ['11', '12']
        }

def backtrace(parent, start, end):
    path = [end]
    while path[-1] != start:
        path.append(parent[path[-1]])
    path.reverse()
    return path


def bfs(graph, start, end):
    parent = {}
    queue = []
    queue.append(start)
    while queue:
        node = queue.pop(0)
        if node == end:
            return backtrace(parent, start, end)
        for adjacent in graph.get(node, []):
            if node not in queue :
                parent[adjacent] = node # <<<<< record its parent 
                queue.append(adjacent)

print bfs(graph, '1', '11')

The above codes are based on the assumption that there's no cycles.

DropDownList's SelectedIndexChanged event not firing

Also make sure the page is valid. You can check this in the browsers developer tools (F12)

In the Console tab select the correct Target/Frame and check for the [Page_IsValid] property

If the page is not valid the form will not submit and therefore not fire the event.

nginx: connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream

I had the same problem when I wrote two upstreams in NGINX conf

upstream php_upstream {
    server unix:/var/run/php/my.site.sock;
    server 127.0.0.1:9000;
}

...

fastcgi_pass php_upstream;

but in /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/www.conf I listened the socket only

listen = /var/run/php/my.site.sock

So I need just socket, no any 127.0.0.1:9000, and I just removed IP+port upstream

upstream php_upstream {
    server unix:/var/run/php/my.site.sock;
}

This could be rewritten without an upstream

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/my.site.sock;

How to commit my current changes to a different branch in Git

You can just create a new branch and switch onto it. Commit your changes then:

git branch dirty
git checkout dirty
// And your commit follows ...

Alternatively, you can also checkout an existing branch (just git checkout <name>). But only, if there are no collisions (the base of all edited files is the same as in your current branch). Otherwise you will get a message.

What is the difference between public, private, and protected?

The difference is as follows:

Public :: A public variable or method can be accessed directly by any user of the class.

Protected :: A protected variable or method cannot be accessed by users of the class but can be accessed inside a subclass that inherits from the class.

Private :: A private variable or method can only be accessed internally from the class in which it is defined.This means that a private variable or method cannot be called from a child that extends the class.

PHP Multiple Checkbox Array

Try this, by for Loop

<form method="post">
<?php
for ($i=1; $i <5 ; $i++) 
{ 
    echo'<input type="checkbox" value="'.$i.'" name="checkbox[]"/>';
} 
?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="form-control" value="Submit">  
</form>

<?php 
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $check=implode(", ", $_POST['checkbox']);
    print_r($check);
}     
?>

What causes HttpHostConnectException?

In my case the issue was a missing 's' in the HTTP URL. Error was: "HttpHostConnectException: Connect to someendpoint.com:80 [someendpoint.com/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused" End point and IP obviously changed to protect the network.

Calling functions in a DLL from C++

Might be useful: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/6299/Step-by-Step-Calling-C-DLLs-from-VC-and-VB-Part-4

For the example above with "GetWelcomeMessage" you might need to specify "__stdcall" in the typedef field before the function name if getting error after calling imported function.

Use 'class' or 'typename' for template parameters?

Stan Lippman talked about this here. I thought it was interesting.

Summary: Stroustrup originally used class to specify types in templates to avoid introducing a new keyword. Some in the committee worried that this overloading of the keyword led to confusion. Later, the committee introduced a new keyword typename to resolve syntactic ambiguity, and decided to let it also be used to specify template types to reduce confusion, but for backward compatibility, class kept its overloaded meaning.

How to open remote files in sublime text 3

Base on this.

Step by step:

  • On your local workstation: On Sublime Text 3, open Package Manager (Ctrl-Shift-P on Linux/Win, Cmd-Shift-P on Mac, Install Package), and search for rsub
  • On your local workstation: Add RemoteForward 52698 127.0.0.1:52698 to your .ssh/config file, or -R 52698:localhost:52698 if you prefer command line
  • On your remote server:

    sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
    sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rsub
    

Just keep your ST3 editor open, and you can easily edit remote files with

rsub myfile.txt

EDIT: if you get "no such file or directory", it's because your /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH. Just add the directory to your path:

echo "export PATH=\"$PATH:/usr/local/bin\"" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Now just log off, log back in, and you'll be all set.

How to JOIN three tables in Codeigniter

public function getdata(){

        $this->db->order_by('t.id','desc');
        $query = $this->db->get();      
        return $query->result();
}

Bootstrap NavBar with left, center or right aligned items

Smack my head, just reread my answer and realized the OP was asking for two logo's one on the left one on the right with a center menu, not the other way around.

This can be accomplished strictly in the HTML by using Bootstrap's "navbar-right" and "navbar-left" for the logos and then "nav-justified" instead of "navbar-nav" for your UL. No addtional CSS needed (unless you want to put the navbar-collapse toggle in the center in the xs viewport, then you need to override a bit, but will leave that up to you).

<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
  <div class="navbar-header">
    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    </button>
    <div class="navbar-brand navbar-left"><a href="#"><img src="http://placehold.it/150x30"></a></div>

  </div>
  <div class="navbar-brand navbar-right"><a href="#"><img src="http://placehold.it/150x30"></a></div>

  <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
    <ul class="nav nav-justified">
        <li><a href="#">home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#about">about</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</nav>

Bootply: http://www.bootply.com/W6uB8YfKxm


For those who got here trying to center the "brand" here is my old answer:

I know this thread is a little old, but just to post my findings when working on this. I decided to base my solution on skelly's answer since tomaszbak's breaks on collaspe. First I created my "navbar-center" and turned off float for the normal navbar in my CSS:

.navbar-center
{
   position: absolute;
   width: 100%;
   left: 0;
   text-align: center;
   margin: auto;
}

.navbar-brand{
   float:none;
}

However the issue with skelly's answer is if you have a really long brand name (or you wanted to use an image for your brand) then once you get to the the sm viewport there could be overlapping due to the absolute position and as the commenters have said, once you get to the xs viewport the toggle switch breaks (unless you use Z positioning but I really didn't want to have to worry about it).

So what I did was utilize the bootstrap responsive utilities to create multiple version of the brand block:

<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
  <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  </button>
  <div class="navbar-brand visible-xs"><a href="#">Brand That is Really Long</a></div>
</div>
<div class="navbar-brand visible-sm text-center"><a href="#">Brand That is Really Long</a></div>
<div class="navbar-brand navbar-center hidden-xs hidden-sm"><a href="#">Brand That is Really Long</a></div>

<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
  <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-left">
      <li><a href="#">Left</a></li>
      <li><a href="#about">Left</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Left</a></li>
      <li><a href="#about">Left</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Left</a></li>
      <li><a href="#about">Left</a></li>
  </ul>
  <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
    <li><a href="#about">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#contact">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#about">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#contact">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#about">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#contact">Right</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

So now the lg and md viewports have the brand centered with links to the left and right, once you get to the sm viewport your links drop to the next line so that you don't overlap with your brand, and then finally at the xs viewport the collaspe kicks in and you are able to use the toggle. You could take this a step further and modify the media queries for the navbar-right and navbar-left when used with navbar-brand so that in the sm viewport the links are all centered but didn't have the time to vet it out.

You can check my old bootply here: www.bootply.com/n3PXXropP3

I guess having 3 brands might be just as much hassle as the "z" but I feel like in the world of responsive design this solution fits my style better.

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

You will find it by reading the couple of pages of Muthukrishnan - Data Stream Algorithms: Puzzle 1: Finding Missing Numbers. It shows exactly the generalization you are looking for. Probably this is what your interviewer read and why he posed these questions.

Now, if only people would start deleting the answers that are subsumed or superseded by Muthukrishnan's treatment, and make this text easier to find. :)


Also see sdcvvc's directly related answer, which also includes pseudocode (hurray! no need to read those tricky math formulations :)) (thanks, great work!).

  • Make sure to add the 'BULKADMIN' Role Permissions for the login you are using.
  • Paths are not pointing to your computer when using SQL Server Management Studio. If you start SSMS on your local machine and connect to a SQL Server instance on server X, the file C:\photo.bmp will point to hard drive C: on server X, not your machine!

How to compile Go program consisting of multiple files?

Yup! That's very straight forward and that's where the package strategy comes into play. there are three ways to my knowledge. folder structure:

GOPATH/src/ github.com/ abc/ myproject/ adapter/ main.go pkg1 pkg2 warning: adapter can contain package main only and sun directories

  1. navigate to "adapter" folder. Run:
    go build main.go
  1. navigate to "adapter" folder. Run:
    go build main.go
  1. navigate to GOPATH/src recognize relative path to package main, here "myproject/adapter". Run:
    go build myproject/adapter

exe file will be created at the directory you are currently at.

Send POST data using XMLHttpRequest

NO PLUGINS NEEDED!

Select the below code and drag that into in BOOKMARK BAR (if you don't see it, enable from Browser Settings), then EDIT that link :

enter image description here

javascript:var my_params = prompt("Enter your parameters", "var1=aaaa&var2=bbbbb"); var Target_LINK = prompt("Enter destination", location.href); function post(path, params) { var xForm = document.createElement("form"); xForm.setAttribute("method", "post"); xForm.setAttribute("action", path); for (var key in params) { if (params.hasOwnProperty(key)) { var hiddenField = document.createElement("input"); hiddenField.setAttribute("name", key); hiddenField.setAttribute("value", params[key]); xForm.appendChild(hiddenField); } } var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.onload = function () { alert(xhr.responseText); }; xhr.open(xForm.method, xForm.action, true); xhr.send(new FormData(xForm)); return false; } parsed_params = {}; my_params.split("&").forEach(function (item) { var s = item.split("="), k = s[0], v = s[1]; parsed_params[k] = v; }); post(Target_LINK, parsed_params); void(0);

That's all! Now you can visit any website, and click that button in BOOKMARK BAR!


NOTE:

The above method sends data using XMLHttpRequest method, so, you have to be on the same domain while triggering the script. That's why I prefer sending data with a simulated FORM SUBMITTING, which can send the code to any domain - here is code for that:

 javascript:var my_params=prompt("Enter your parameters","var1=aaaa&var2=bbbbb"); var Target_LINK=prompt("Enter destination", location.href); function post(path, params) {   var xForm= document.createElement("form");   xForm.setAttribute("method", "post");   xForm.setAttribute("action", path); xForm.setAttribute("target", "_blank");   for(var key in params) {   if(params.hasOwnProperty(key)) {        var hiddenField = document.createElement("input");      hiddenField.setAttribute("name", key);      hiddenField.setAttribute("value", params[key]);         xForm.appendChild(hiddenField);     }   }   document.body.appendChild(xForm);  xForm.submit(); }   parsed_params={}; my_params.split("&").forEach(function(item) {var s = item.split("="), k=s[0], v=s[1]; parsed_params[k] = v;}); post(Target_LINK, parsed_params); void(0);

int result = mkdir("/home/me/test.txt", 0777);

Plain Old CLR Object vs Data Transfer Object

POCO is simply an object that does not take a dependency on an external framework. It is PLAIN.

Whether a POCO has behaviour or not it's immaterial.

A DTO may be POCO as may a domain object (which would typically be rich in behaviour).

Typically DTOs are more likely to take dependencies on external frameworks (eg. attributes) for serialisation purposes as typically they exit at the boundary of a system.

In typical Onion style architectures (often used within a broadly DDD approach) the domain layer is placed at the centre and so its objects should not, at this point, have dependencies outside of that layer.

How to refresh token with Google API client?

I used the example by smartcodes with the current version of the Google API, but that one didn't work. I think his API is too outdated.

So, I just wrote my own version, based on one of the API examples... It outputs access token, request token, token type, ID token, expiration time and creation time as strings

If your client credentials and developer key are correct, this code should work out of the box.

<?php
// Call set_include_path() as needed to point to your client library.
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_Oauth2Service.php';
session_start();

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("Get Token");
// Visit https://code.google.com/apis/console?api=plus to generate your
// oauth2_client_id, oauth2_client_secret, and to register your oauth2_redirect_uri.
$oauth2 = new Google_Oauth2Service($client);

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
    $client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
    $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
    $redirect = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
    return;
}

if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
    $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
}

if (isset($_REQUEST['logout'])) {
    unset($_SESSION['token']);
    $client->revokeToken();
}
?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head><meta charset="utf-8"></head>
    <body>
        <header><h1>Get Token</h1></header>
        <?php
        if ($client->getAccessToken()) {
            $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
            $token = json_decode($_SESSION['token']);
            echo "Access Token = " . $token->access_token . '<br/>';
            echo "Refresh Token = " . $token->refresh_token . '<br/>';
            echo "Token type = " . $token->token_type . '<br/>';
            echo "Expires in = " . $token->expires_in . '<br/>';
            echo "ID Token = " . $token->id_token . '<br/>';
            echo "Created = " . $token->created . '<br/>';
            echo "<a class='logout' href='?logout'>Logout</a>";
        } else {
            $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
            print "<a class='login' href='$authUrl'>Connect Me!</a>";
        }
        ?>
    </body>

A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found for debug mode

In my case my provisioning profile was invalid because apple has changed some of its terms and conditions. To fix problem I had to

  1. delete previous profile.
  2. I had to accept terms and condition from this website of apple.

jQuery animate scroll

You can animate the scrolltop of the page with jQuery.

$('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $(".middle").offset().top
 }, 2000);

See this site: http://papermashup.com/jquery-page-scrolling/

Extract a part of the filepath (a directory) in Python

First, see if you have splitunc() as an available function within os.path. The first item returned should be what you want... but I am on Linux and I do not have this function when I import os and try to use it.

Otherwise, one semi-ugly way that gets the job done is to use:

>>> pathname = "\\C:\\mystuff\\project\\file.py"
>>> pathname
'\\C:\\mystuff\\project\\file.py'
>>> print pathname
\C:\mystuff\project\file.py
>>> "\\".join(pathname.split('\\')[:-2])
'\\C:\\mystuff'
>>> "\\".join(pathname.split('\\')[:-1])
'\\C:\\mystuff\\project'

which shows retrieving the directory just above the file, and the directory just above that.

Whether a variable is undefined

You can just check the variable directly. If not defined it will return a falsy value.

var string = "?z=z";
if (page_name) { string += "&page_name=" + page_name; }
if (table_name) { string += "&table_name=" + table_name; }
if (optionResult) { string += "&optionResult=" + optionResult; }

Javascript search inside a JSON object

Here is an iterative solution using object-scan. The advantage is that you can easily do other processing in the filter function and specify the paths in a more readable format. There is a trade-off in introducing a dependency though, so it really depends on your use case.

_x000D_
_x000D_
// const objectScan = require('object-scan');

const search = (haystack, k, v) => objectScan([`list[*].${k}`], {
  rtn: 'parent',
  filterFn: ({ value }) => value === v
})(haystack);

const obj = { list: [ { name: 'my Name', id: 12, type: 'car owner' }, { name: 'my Name2', id: 13, type: 'car owner2' }, { name: 'my Name4', id: 14, type: 'car owner3' }, { name: 'my Name4', id: 15, type: 'car owner5' } ] };

console.log(search(obj, 'name', 'my Name'));
// => [ { name: 'my Name', id: 12, type: 'car owner' } ]
_x000D_
.as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important; top: 0}
_x000D_
<script src="https://bundle.run/[email protected]"></script>

Setting up MySQL and importing dump within Dockerfile

The latest version of the official mysql docker image allows you to import data on startup. Here is my docker-compose.yml

data:
  build: docker/data/.
mysql:
  image: mysql
  ports:
    - "3307:3306"
  environment:
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1234
  volumes:
    - ./docker/data:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
  volumes_from:
    - data

Here, I have my data-dump.sql under docker/data which is relative to the folder the docker-compose is running from. I am mounting that sql file into this directory /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d on the container.

If you are interested to see how this works, have a look at their docker-entrypoint.sh in GitHub. They have added this block to allow importing data

    echo
    for f in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/*; do
        case "$f" in
            *.sh)  echo "$0: running $f"; . "$f" ;;
            *.sql) echo "$0: running $f"; "${mysql[@]}" < "$f" && echo ;;
            *)     echo "$0: ignoring $f" ;;
        esac
        echo
    done

An additional note, if you want the data to be persisted even after the mysql container is stopped and removed, you need to have a separate data container as you see in the docker-compose.yml. The contents of the data container Dockerfile are very simple.

FROM n3ziniuka5/ubuntu-oracle-jdk:14.04-JDK8

VOLUME /var/lib/mysql

CMD ["true"]

The data container doesn't even have to be in start state for persistence.

Using .otf fonts on web browsers

You can implement your OTF font using @font-face like:

@font-face {
    font-family: GraublauWeb;
    src: url("path/GraublauWeb.otf") format("opentype");
}

@font-face {
    font-family: GraublauWeb;
    font-weight: bold;
    src: url("path/GraublauWebBold.otf") format("opentype");
}

// Edit: OTF now works in most browsers, see comments

However if you want to support a wide variety of browsers i would recommend you to switch to WOFF and TTF font types. WOFF type is implemented by every major desktop browser, while the TTF type is a fallback for older Safari, Android and iOS browsers. If your font is a free font, you could convert your font using for example a transfonter.

@font-face {
    font-family: GraublauWeb;
    src: url("path/GraublauWebBold.woff") format("woff"), url("path/GraublauWebBold.ttf")  format("truetype");
}

If you want to support nearly every browser that is still out there (not necessary anymore IMHO), you should add some more font-types like:

@font-face {
    font-family: GraublauWeb;
    src: url("webfont.eot"); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
    src: url("webfont.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), /* IE6-IE8 */
         url("webfont.woff") format("woff"), /* Modern Browsers */
         url("webfont.ttf")  format("truetype"), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
         url("webfont.svg#svgFontName") format("svg"); /* Legacy iOS */
}

You can read more about why all these types are implemented and their hacks here. To get a detailed view of which file-types are supported by which browsers, see:

EOT Browser Support

WOFF Browser Support

TTF Browser Support

AttributeError: 'datetime' module has no attribute 'strptime'

If I had to guess, you did this:

import datetime

at the top of your code. This means that you have to do this:

datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

to access the strptime method. Or, you could change the import statement to this:

from datetime import datetime

and access it as you are.

The people who made the datetime module also named their class datetime:

#module  class    method
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

Changing selection in a select with the Chosen plugin

Sometimes you have to remove the current options in order to manipulate the selected options.

Here is an example how to set options:

<select id="mySelectId" class="chosen-select" multiple="multiple">
  <option value=""></option>
  <option value="Argentina">Argentina</option>
  <option value="Germany">Germany</option>
  <option value="Greece">Greece</option>
  <option value="Japan">Japan</option>
  <option value="Thailand">Thailand</option>
</select>

<script>
activateChosen($('body'));
selectChosenOptions($('#mySelectId'), ['Argentina', 'Germany']);

function activateChosen($container, param) {
    param = param || {};
    $container.find('.chosen-select:visible').chosen(param);
    $container.find('.chosen-select').trigger("chosen:updated");
}

function selectChosenOptions($select, values) {
    $select.val(null);                                  //delete current options
    $select.val(values);                                //add new options
    $select.trigger('chosen:updated');
}
</script>

Formatting Numbers by padding with leading zeros in SQL Server

You can change your procedure in this way

SELECT Right('000000' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR, EmployeeID), 6) AS EmpIDText, 
       EmployeeID
FROM dbo.RequestItems 
WHERE ID=0 

However this assumes that your EmployeeID is a numeric value and this code change the result to a string, I suggest to add again the original numeric value

EDIT Of course I have not read carefully the question above. It says that the field is a char(6) so EmployeeID is not a numeric value. While this answer has still a value per se, it is not the correct answer to the question above.

Android Gradle plugin 0.7.0: "duplicate files during packaging of APK"

What is the difference between exit(0) and exit(1) in C?

exit(0) is equivalent to exit(EXIT_SUCCESS).

exit(1) is equivalent to exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

On failure normally any positive value get returned to exit the process, that you can find on shell by using $?.

Value more than 128 that is caused the termination by signal. So if any shell command terminated by signal the return status must be (128+signal number).

For example:

If any shell command is terminated by SIGINT then $? will give 130 ( 128+2) (Here 2 is signal number for SIGINT, check by using kill -l )

How can I use optional parameters in a T-SQL stored procedure?

The answer from @KM is good as far as it goes but fails to fully follow up on one of his early bits of advice;

..., ignore compact code, ignore worrying about repeating code, ...

If you are looking to achieve the best performance then you should write a bespoke query for each possible combination of optional criteria. This might sound extreme, and if you have a lot of optional criteria then it might be, but performance is often a trade-off between effort and results. In practice, there might be a common set of parameter combinations that can be targeted with bespoke queries, then a generic query (as per the other answers) for all other combinations.

CREATE PROCEDURE spDoSearch
    @FirstName varchar(25) = null,
    @LastName varchar(25) = null,
    @Title varchar(25) = null
AS
BEGIN

    IF (@FirstName IS NOT NULL AND @LastName IS NULL AND @Title IS NULL)
        -- Search by first name only
        SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, Title
        FROM tblUsers
        WHERE
            FirstName = @FirstName

    ELSE IF (@FirstName IS NULL AND @LastName IS NOT NULL AND @Title IS NULL)
        -- Search by last name only
        SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, Title
        FROM tblUsers
        WHERE
            LastName = @LastName

    ELSE IF (@FirstName IS NULL AND @LastName IS NULL AND @Title IS NOT NULL)
        -- Search by title only
        SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, Title
        FROM tblUsers
        WHERE
            Title = @Title

    ELSE IF (@FirstName IS NOT NULL AND @LastName IS NOT NULL AND @Title IS NULL)
        -- Search by first and last name
        SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, Title
        FROM tblUsers
        WHERE
            FirstName = @FirstName
            AND LastName = @LastName

    ELSE
        -- Search by any other combination
        SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, Title
        FROM tblUsers
        WHERE
                (@FirstName IS NULL OR (FirstName = @FirstName))
            AND (@LastName  IS NULL OR (LastName  = @LastName ))
            AND (@Title     IS NULL OR (Title     = @Title    ))

END

The advantage of this approach is that in the common cases handled by bespoke queries the query is as efficient as it can be - there's no impact by the unsupplied criteria. Also, indexes and other performance enhancements can be targeted at specific bespoke queries rather than trying to satisfy all possible situations.

Why use double indirection? or Why use pointers to pointers?

Strings are a great example of uses of double pointers. The string itself is a pointer, so any time you need to point to a string, you'll need a double pointer.

How to fix curl: (60) SSL certificate: Invalid certificate chain

After attempting all of the above solutions to eliminate the "curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" error, the solution that finally worked for me on OSX 10.9 was:

  1. Locate the curl certificate PEM file location 'curl-config --ca' -- > /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem

  2. Use the folder location to identify the PEM file 'cd /usr/local/etc/openssl'

  3. Create a backup of the cert.pem file 'cp cert.pem cert_pem.bkup'

  4. Download the updated Certificate file from the curl website 'sudo wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem'

  5. Copy the downloaded PEM file to replace the old PEM file 'cp cacert.pem cert.pem'

    This is a modified version of a solution posted to correct the same issue in Ubuntu found here:

How to fast-forward a branch to head?

To rebase the current local tracker branch moving local changes on top of the latest remote state:

$ git fetch && git rebase

More generally, to fast-forward and drop the local changes (hard reset)*:

$ git fetch && git checkout ${the_branch_name} && git reset --hard origin/${the_branch_name}

to fast-forward and keep the local changes (rebase):

$ git fetch && git checkout ${the_branch_name} && git rebase origin/${the_branch_name}

* - to undo the change caused by unintentional hard reset first do git reflog, that displays the state of the HEAD in reverse order, find the hash the HEAD was pointing to before the reset operation (usually obvious) and hard reset the branch to that hash.

How to extract table as text from the PDF using Python?

This answer is for anyone encountering pdfs with images and needing to use OCR. I could not find a workable off-the-shelf solution; nothing that gave me the accuracy I needed.

Here are the steps I found to work.

  1. Use pdfimages from https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ to turn the pages of the pdf into images.

  2. Use Tesseract to detect rotation and ImageMagick mogrify to fix it.

  3. Use OpenCV to find and extract tables.

  4. Use OpenCV to find and extract each cell from the table.

  5. Use OpenCV to crop and clean up each cell so that there is no noise that will confuse OCR software.

  6. Use Tesseract to OCR each cell.

  7. Combine the extracted text of each cell into the format you need.

I wrote a python package with modules that can help with those steps.

Repo: https://github.com/eihli/image-table-ocr

Docs & Source: https://eihli.github.io/image-table-ocr/pdf_table_extraction_and_ocr.html

Some of the steps don't require code, they take advantage of external tools like pdfimages and tesseract. I'll provide some brief examples for a couple of the steps that do require code.

  1. Finding tables:

This link was a good reference while figuring out how to find tables. https://answers.opencv.org/question/63847/how-to-extract-tables-from-an-image/

import cv2

def find_tables(image):
    BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE = (17, 17)
    STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION = 0
    STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION = 0
    blurred = cv2.GaussianBlur(image, BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE, STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION, STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION)
    MAX_COLOR_VAL = 255
    BLOCK_SIZE = 15
    SUBTRACT_FROM_MEAN = -2

    img_bin = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(
        ~blurred,
        MAX_COLOR_VAL,
        cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C,
        cv2.THRESH_BINARY,
        BLOCK_SIZE,
        SUBTRACT_FROM_MEAN,
    )
    vertical = horizontal = img_bin.copy()
    SCALE = 5
    image_width, image_height = horizontal.shape
    horizontal_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (int(image_width / SCALE), 1))
    horizontally_opened = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, horizontal_kernel)
    vertical_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, int(image_height / SCALE)))
    vertically_opened = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, vertical_kernel)

    horizontally_dilated = cv2.dilate(horizontally_opened, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (40, 1)))
    vertically_dilated = cv2.dilate(vertically_opened, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, 60)))

    mask = horizontally_dilated + vertically_dilated
    contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(
        mask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE,
    )

    MIN_TABLE_AREA = 1e5
    contours = [c for c in contours if cv2.contourArea(c) > MIN_TABLE_AREA]
    perimeter_lengths = [cv2.arcLength(c, True) for c in contours]
    epsilons = [0.1 * p for p in perimeter_lengths]
    approx_polys = [cv2.approxPolyDP(c, e, True) for c, e in zip(contours, epsilons)]
    bounding_rects = [cv2.boundingRect(a) for a in approx_polys]

    # The link where a lot of this code was borrowed from recommends an
    # additional step to check the number of "joints" inside this bounding rectangle.
    # A table should have a lot of intersections. We might have a rectangular image
    # here though which would only have 4 intersections, 1 at each corner.
    # Leaving that step as a future TODO if it is ever necessary.
    images = [image[y:y+h, x:x+w] for x, y, w, h in bounding_rects]
    return images
  1. Extract cells from table.

This is very similar to 2, so I won't include all the code. The part I will reference will be in sorting the cells.

We want to identify the cells from left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

We’ll find the rectangle with the most top-left corner. Then we’ll find all of the rectangles that have a center that is within the top-y and bottom-y values of that top-left rectangle. Then we’ll sort those rectangles by the x value of their center. We’ll remove those rectangles from the list and repeat.

def cell_in_same_row(c1, c2):
    c1_center = c1[1] + c1[3] - c1[3] / 2
    c2_bottom = c2[1] + c2[3]
    c2_top = c2[1]
    return c2_top < c1_center < c2_bottom

orig_cells = [c for c in cells]
rows = []
while cells:
    first = cells[0]
    rest = cells[1:]
    cells_in_same_row = sorted(
        [
            c for c in rest
            if cell_in_same_row(c, first)
        ],
        key=lambda c: c[0]
    )

    row_cells = sorted([first] + cells_in_same_row, key=lambda c: c[0])
    rows.append(row_cells)
    cells = [
        c for c in rest
        if not cell_in_same_row(c, first)
    ]

# Sort rows by average height of their center.
def avg_height_of_center(row):
    centers = [y + h - h / 2 for x, y, w, h in row]
    return sum(centers) / len(centers)

rows.sort(key=avg_height_of_center)

Recursion in Python? RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

I've changed the recursion to iteration.

def MovingTheBall(listOfBalls,position,numCell):
while 1:
    stop=1
    positionTmp = (position[0]+choice([-1,0,1]),position[1]+choice([-1,0,1]),0)
    for i in range(0,len(listOfBalls)):
        if positionTmp==listOfBalls[i].pos:
            stop=0
    if stop==1:
        if (positionTmp[0]==0 or positionTmp[0]>=numCell or positionTmp[0]<=-numCell or positionTmp[1]>=numCell or positionTmp[1]<=-numCell):
            stop=0
        else:
            return positionTmp

Works good :D

How can I require at least one checkbox be checked before a form can be submitted?

<ul>
    <li><input class="checkboxes" name="BoxSelect[]" type="checkbox" value="Box 1" required><label>Box 1</label></li>
    <li><input class="checkboxes" name="BoxSelect[]" type="checkbox" value="Box 2" required><label>Box 2</label></li>
    <li><input class="checkboxes" name="BoxSelect[]" type="checkbox" value="Box 3" required><label>Box 3</label></li>
    <li><input class="checkboxes" name="BoxSelect[]" type="checkbox" value="Box 4" required><label>Box 4</label></li>
</ul>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    var checkboxes = $('.checkboxes');
    checkboxes.change(function(){
        if($('.checkboxes:checked').length>0) {
            checkboxes.removeAttr('required');
        } else {
            checkboxes.attr('required', 'required');
        }
    });
});
</script>

R apply function with multiple parameters

To further generalize @Alexander's example, outer is relevant in cases where a function must compute itself on each pair of vector values:

vars1<-c(1,2,3)
vars2<-c(10,20,30)
mult_one<-function(var1,var2)
{
   var1*var2
}
outer(vars1,vars2,mult_one)

gives:

> outer(vars1, vars2, mult_one)
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]   10   20   30
[2,]   20   40   60
[3,]   30   60   90

BitmapImage supports both and an Uri can even be passed as constructor argument:

var uri = new Uri("http://...");
var bitmap = new BitmapImage(uri);

If the image file is located in a local folder, you would have to use a file:// Uri. You could create such a Uri from a path like this:

var path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Bilder", "sas.png");
var uri = new Uri(path);

If the image file is an assembly resource, the Uri must follow the the Pack Uri scheme:

var uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Bilder/sas.png");

In this case the Visual Studio Build Action for sas.png would have to be Resource.

Once you have created a BitmapImage and also have an Image control like in this XAML

<Image Name="image1" />

you would simply assign the BitmapImage to the Source property of that Image control:

image1.Source = bitmap;

How to use OpenSSL to encrypt/decrypt files?

Additional comments to mti2935 good answer.

It seems the higher iteration the better protection against brute force, and you should use a high iteration as you can afford performance/resource wise.

On my my old Intel i3-7100 encrypting a rather big file 1.5GB:

 time openssl enc -aes256 -e -pbkdf2 -iter 10000 -pass pass:"mypassword" -in "InputFile" -out "OutputFile"
 Seconds: 2,564s

 time openssl enc -aes256 -e -pbkdf2 -iter 262144 -pass pass:"mypassword" -in "InputFile" -out "OutputFile"
 Seconds:  2,775s

Not really any difference, didn't check memory usage though(?)

With today's GPUs, and even faster tomorrows, I guess billion brute-force iteration seems possible every seconds.

12 years ago a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra could iterate over 200.000 millions/sec iterations (MD5 hashing though)

JQuery Find #ID, RemoveClass and AddClass

Try this

$('#testID').addClass('nameOfClass');

or

$('#testID').removeClass('nameOfClass');

NullPointerException in Java with no StackTrace

exception.toString does not give you the StackTrace, it only returns

a short description of this throwable. The result is the concatenation of:

* the name of the class of this object
* ": " (a colon and a space)
* the result of invoking this object's getLocalizedMessage() method

Use exception.printStackTrace instead to output the StackTrace.

      var x = event.keyCode;        
      if (x == 13) {
        try{
            var nextInput = event.target.parentElement.nextElementSibling.childNodes[0];

Upload a file to Amazon S3 with NodeJS

Upload CSV/Excel

const fs = require('fs');
const AWS = require('aws-sdk');

const s3 = new AWS.S3({

  fs.readFile(absoluteFilePath, (err, data) => {
     if (err) throw err;
     const params = {
         Bucket: 'testBucket', // pass your bucket name
         Key: 'folderName/key.xlsx', // file will be saved in <folderName> folder
         Body: data
     };
      s3.upload(params, function (s3Err, data) {
                    if (s3Err) throw s3Err
                    console.log(`File uploaded successfully at ${data.Location}`);
                    debugger;
                });
  });
};

uploadFile();

Clicking a button within a form causes page refresh

I wonder why nobody proposed the possibly simplest solution:

don't use a <form>

A <whatever ng-form> does IMHO a better job and without an HTML form, there's nothing to be submitted by the browser itself. Which is exactly the right behavior when using angular.

How do I mock a class without an interface?

The standard mocking frameworks are creating proxy classes. This is the reason why they are technically limited to interfaces and virtual methods.

If you want to mock 'normal' methods as well, you need a tool that works with instrumentation instead of proxy generation. E.g. MS Moles and Typemock can do that. But the former has a horrible 'API', and the latter is commercial.

Good examples using java.util.logging

Should declare logger like this:

private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName());

so if you refactor your class name it follows.

I wrote an article about java logger with examples here.

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

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
   string s="000101";
   cout<<s<<"\n";
   int a = stoi(s);
   cout<<a<<"\n";
   s=to_string(a);
   s+='1';
   cout<<s;
   return 0;
}

Output:

  • 000101
  • 101
  • 1011

Generate a unique id

We can do something like this

string TransactionID = "BTRF"+DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString().Substring(0, 10);

How can I compare strings in C using a `switch` statement?

To add to Phimueme's answer above, if your string is always two characters, then you can build a 16-bit int out of the two 8-bit characters - and switch on that (to avoid nested switch/case statements).

How to fill in proxy information in cntlm config file?

Once you generated the file, and changed your password, you can run as below,

cntlm -H

Username will be the same. it will ask for password, give it, then copy the PassNTLMv2, edit the cntlm.ini, then just run the following

cntlm -v

Can I run javascript before the whole page is loaded?

You can run javascript code at any time. AFAIK it is executed at the moment the browser reaches the <script> tag where it is in. But you cannot access elements that are not loaded yet.

So if you need access to elements, you should wait until the DOM is loaded (this does not mean the whole page is loaded, including images and stuff. It's only the structure of the document, which is loaded much earlier, so you usually won't notice a delay), using the DOMContentLoaded event or functions like $.ready in jQuery.

The equivalent of a GOTO in python

answer = None
while True:
    answer = raw_input("Do you like pie?")
    if answer in ("yes", "no"): break
    print "That is not a yes or a no"

Would give you what you want with no goto statement.

Read CSV with Scanner()

Scanner.next() does not read a newline but reads the next token, delimited by whitespace (by default, if useDelimiter() was not used to change the delimiter pattern). To read a line use Scanner.nextLine().

Once you read a single line you can use String.split(",") to separate the line into fields. This enables identification of lines that do not consist of the required number of fields. Using useDelimiter(","); would ignore the line-based structure of the file (each line consists of a list of fields separated by a comma). For example:

while (inputStream.hasNextLine())
{
    String line = inputStream.nextLine();
    String[] fields = line.split(",");
    if (fields.length >= 4) // At least one address specified.
    {
        for (String field: fields) System.out.print(field + "|");
        System.out.println();
    }
    else
    {
        System.err.println("Invalid record: " + line);
    }
}

As already mentioned, using a CSV library is recommended. For one, this (and useDelimiter(",") solution) will not correctly handle quoted identifiers containing , characters.

How to localise a string inside the iOS info.plist file?

In addition to the accepted answer (the project is on Flutter but it's basically the same as native):

I do have folders Base.lproj, en.lproj, xx.kproj. etc. with InfoPlist.strings in each. This file has lines like this (no quotes around the key and with a semicolon at the end):

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription = "My explanation why I need this";

Check that you have your languages in your YourProject > Info: enter image description here

Also, check the project.pbxproj file, it is in XXX.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: it should have all your languages in codes (en, fr, etc.)

enter image description here

But even then it didn't work. Finally, I noticed the CFBundleLocalizations key in the Info.plist file. (to open it as raw key-values in XCode - right mouse button on the Info.plist file -> Open As -> Source Code) Make sure that the values in array are codes rather than complete words, for example fr instead of French etc.

<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
<array>
    <string>en</string>
    <string>ru</string>
    <string>lv</string>
</array>

And double-check that your device is set to the language you're testing. Cheers

P.S. "Development Language" doesn't affect your issue, don't bother changing it.

Formatting PowerShell Get-Date inside string

Instead of using string interpolation you could simply format the DateTime using the ToString("u") method and concatenate that with the rest of the string:

$startTime = Get-Date
Write-Host "The script was started " + $startTime.ToString("u")

Service vs IntentService in the Android platform

Adding points to the accepted answer:

See the usage of IntentService within Android API. eg:

public class SimpleWakefulService extends IntentService {
    public SimpleWakefulService() {
        super("SimpleWakefulService");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {  ...}

To create an IntentService component for your app, define a class that extends IntentService, and within it, define a method that overrides onHandleIntent().

Also, see the source code of the IntentService, it's constructor and life cycle methods like onStartCommand...

  @Override
    public int More ...onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
       onStart(intent, startId);
        return mRedelivery ? START_REDELIVER_INTENT : START_NOT_STICKY;
    }

Service together an AsyncTask is one of best approaches for many use cases where the payload is not huge. or just create a class extending IntentSerivce. From Android version 4.0 all network operations should be in background process otherwise the application compile/build fails. separate thread from the UI. The AsyncTask class provides one of the simplest ways to fire off a new task from the UI thread. For more discussion of this topic, see the blog post

from Android developers guide:

IntentService is a base class for Services that handle asynchronous requests (expressed as Intents) on demand. Clients send requests through startService(Intent) calls; the service is started as needed, handles each Intent, in turn, using a worker thread, and stops itself when it runs out of work.

Design pattern used in IntentService

: This "work queue processor" pattern is commonly used to offload tasks from an application's main thread. The IntentService class exists to simplify this pattern and take care of the mechanics. To use it, extend IntentService and implement onHandleIntent(Intent). IntentService will receive the Intents, launch a worker thread, and stop the service as appropriate.

All requests are handled on a single worker thread -- they may take as long as necessary (and will not block the application's main loop), but only one request will be processed at a time.

The IntentService class provides a straightforward structure for running an operation on a single background thread. This allows it to handle long-running operations without affecting your user interface's responsiveness. Also, an IntentService isn't affected by most user interface lifecycle events, so it continues to run in circumstances that would shut down an AsyncTask.

An IntentService has a few limitations:

It can't interact directly with your user interface. To put its results in the UI, you have to send them to an Activity. Work requests run sequentially. If an operation is running in an IntentService, and you send it another request, the request waits until the first operation is finished. An operation running on an IntentService can't be interrupted. However, in most cases

IntentService is the preferred way to simple background operations

How to custom switch button?

There are two ways to create custom ToggleButton

1) By defining custom background 2) By creating custom button

Check http://www.zoftino.com/android-toggle-button for custom styles

Toggle button with custom background

Define drawable as xml resource like below and set it as background of toggle button. In the below example, drawable toggle_color is a color selector, you need to define this also.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

            </shape>
        </item>
    </layer-list>
</inset>

Toggle button with custom button

Create your own images for two state of toggle button (make sure images exist for all sizes of screens) and place them in drawable folder, create selector and set it as button.

   <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_on" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_off" />
</selector>

"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" error (mscorlib)

I'd suggest checking for an inner exception. If there isn't one, check your logs for the exception that occurred immediately prior to this one.

This isn't a web-specific exception, I've also encountered it in desktop-app development. In short, what's happening is that the thread receiving this exception is running some asynchronous code (via Invoke(), e.g.) and that code that's being run asynchronously is exploding with an exception. This target invocation exception is the aftermath of that failure.

If you haven't already, place some sort of exception logging wrapper around the asynchronous callbacks that are being invoked when you trigger this error. Event handlers, for instance. That ought to help you track down the problem.

Good luck!

javax.persistence.NoResultException: No entity found for query

Another option is to use uniqueResultOptional() method, which gives you Optional in result:

String hql="from DrawUnusedBalance where unusedBalanceDate= :today";
Query query=em.createQuery(hql);
query.setParameter("today",new LocalDate());

Optional<DrawUnusedBalance> drawUnusedBalance=query.uniqueResultOptional();

Updating a local repository with changes from a GitHub repository

This question is very general and there are a couple of assumptions I'll make to simplify it a bit. We'll assume that you want to update your master branch.

If you haven't made any changes locally, you can use git pull to bring down any new commits and add them to your master.

git pull origin master

If you have made changes, and you want to avoid adding a new merge commit, use git pull --rebase.

git pull --rebase origin master

git pull --rebase will work even if you haven't made changes and is probably your best call.

Is there a CSS selector for the first direct child only?

Use div.section > div.

Better yet, use an <h1> tag for the heading and div.section h1 in your CSS, so as to support older browsers (that don't know about the >) and keep your markup semantic.

Refresh Part of Page (div)

Usefetch and innerHTML to load div content

_x000D_
_x000D_
let url="https://server.test-cors.org/server?id=2934825&enable=true&status=200&credentials=false&methods=GET"

async function refresh() {
  btn.disabled = true;
  dynamicPart.innerHTML = "Loading..."
  dynamicPart.innerHTML = await(await fetch(url)).text();
  setTimeout(refresh,2000);
}
_x000D_
<div id="staticPart">
  Here is static part of page

  <button id="btn" onclick="refresh()">
    Click here to start refreshing every 2s
  </button>
</div>

<div id="dynamicPart">Dynamic part</div>

grep without showing path/file:line

No need to find. If you are just looking for a pattern within a specific directory, this should suffice:

grep -hn FOO /your/path/*.bar

Where -h is the parameter to hide the filename, as from man grep:

-h, --no-filename

Suppress the prefixing of file names on output. This is the default when there is only one file (or only standard input) to search.

Note that you were using

-H, --with-filename

Print the file name for each match. This is the default when there is more than one file to search.

Using Python String Formatting with Lists

You should take a look to the format method of python. You could then define your formatting string like this :

>>> s = '{0} BLAH BLAH {1} BLAH {2} BLAH BLIH BLEH'
>>> x = ['1', '2', '3']
>>> print s.format(*x)
'1 BLAH BLAH 2 BLAH 3 BLAH BLIH BLEH'

Loading custom configuration files

the articles posted by Ricky are very good, but unfortunately they don't answer your question.

To solve your problem you should try this piece of code:

ExeConfigurationFileMap configMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
configMap.ExeConfigFilename = @"d:\test\justAConfigFile.config.whateverYouLikeExtension";
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

If need to access a value within the config you can use the index operator:

config.AppSettings.Settings["test"].Value;

Cast from VARCHAR to INT - MySQL

For casting varchar fields/values to number format can be little hack used:

SELECT (`PROD_CODE` * 1) AS `PROD_CODE` FROM PRODUCT`

ORA-28000: the account is locked error getting frequently

One of the reasons of your problem could be the password policy you are using.

And if there is no such policy of yours then check your settings for the password properties in the DEFAULT profile with the following query:

SELECT resource_name, limit
FROM dba_profiles 
WHERE profile = 'DEFAULT'
AND resource_type = 'PASSWORD';

And If required, you just need to change the PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME to unlimited with the following query:

ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;

And this Link might be helpful for your problem.

How to read a text file from server using JavaScript?

This worked for me:

var url = "http://www.example.com/file.json";

var jsonFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
    jsonFile.open("GET",url,true);
    jsonFile.send();

    jsonFile.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (jsonFile.readyState== 4 && jsonFile.status == 200) {
            document.getElementById("id-of-element").innerHTML = jsonFile.responseText;
        }
     }

I basically(almost literally) copied this code from http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/tryit.asp?filename=tryajax_get2 so credit to them for everything.

I dont have much knowledge of how this works but you don't have to know how your brakes work to use them ;)

Hope this helps!

How to run PowerShell in CMD

You need to separate the arguments from the file path:

powershell.exe -noexit "& 'D:\Work\SQLExecutor.ps1 ' -gettedServerName 'MY-PC'"

Another option that may ease the syntax using the File parameter and positional parameters:

powershell.exe -noexit -file "D:\Work\SQLExecutor.ps1" "MY-PC"

Multiple file-extensions searchPattern for System.IO.Directory.GetFiles

I did a simple way for seach as many extensions as you need, and with no ToLower(), RegEx, foreach...

List<String> myExtensions = new List<String>() { ".aspx", ".ascx", ".cs" }; // You can add as many extensions as you want.
DirectoryInfo myFolder = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\FolderFoo");
SearchOption option = SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly; // Use SearchOption.AllDirectories for seach in all subfolders.
List<FileInfo> myFiles = myFolder.EnumerateFiles("*.*", option)
    .Where(file => myExtensions
    .Any(e => String.Compare(file.Extension, e, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase) == 0))
    .ToList();

Git pull a certain branch from GitHub

Simply track your remote branches explicitly and a simple git pull will do just what you want:

git branch -f remote_branch_name origin/remote_branch_name
git checkout remote_branch_name

The latter is a local operation.

Or even more fitting in with the GitHub documentation on forking:

git branch -f new_local_branch_name upstream/remote_branch_name

How do I put double quotes in a string in vba?

I find the easiest way is to double up on the quotes to handle a quote.

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "IF(Sheet1!A1=0,"""",Sheet1!A1)" 

Some people like to use CHR(34)*:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "IF(Sheet1!A1=0," & CHR(34) & CHR(34) & ",Sheet1!A1)" 

*Note: CHAR() is used as an Excel cell formula, e.g. writing "=CHAR(34)" in a cell, but for VBA code you use the CHR() function.

How do I show/hide a UIBarButtonItem?

In case the UIBarButtonItem has an image instead of the text in it you can do this to hide it: navigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItem.customView.alpha = 0.0;

chart.js load totally new data

You need to destroy:

myLineChart.destroy();

Then re-initialize the chart:

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChartLine").getContext("2d");
myLineChart = new Chart(ctx).Line(data, options);

How to PUT a json object with an array using curl

Your command line should have a -d/--data inserted before the string you want to send in the PUT, and you want to set the Content-Type and not Accept.

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d '[JSON]' \
     http://example.com/service

Using the exact JSON data from the question, the full command line would become:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT \
    -d '{"tags":["tag1","tag2"],
         "question":"Which band?",
         "answers":[{"id":"a0","answer":"Answer1"},
                    {"id":"a1","answer":"answer2"}]}' \
    http://example.com/service

Note: JSON data wrapped only for readability, not valid for curl request.

Codeigniter's `where` and `or_where`

You can use : Query grouping allows you to create groups of WHERE clauses by enclosing them in parentheses. This will allow you to create queries with complex WHERE clauses. Nested groups are supported. Example:

$this->db->select('*')->from('my_table')
        ->group_start()
                ->where('a', 'a')
                ->or_group_start()
                        ->where('b', 'b')
                        ->where('c', 'c')
                ->group_end()
        ->group_end()
        ->where('d', 'd')
->get();

Working with a List of Lists in Java

ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> listOLists = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
ArrayList<String> singleList = new ArrayList<String>();
singleList.add("hello");

ArrayList<String> anotherList = new ArrayList<String>();
anotherList.add("this is another list");
listOLists.add(anotherList);

How to use continue in jQuery each() loop?

We can break both a $(selector).each() loop and a $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.

return false; // this is equivalent of 'break' for jQuery loop

return;       // this is equivalent of 'continue' for jQuery loop

Note that $(selector).each() and $.each() are different functions.

Spring Boot @Value Properties

To read the values from application.properties we need to just annotate our main class with @SpringBootApplication and the class where you are reading with @Component or variety of it. Below is the sample where I have read the values from application.properties and it is working fine when web service is invoked. If you deploy the same code as is and try to access from http://localhost:8080/hello you will get the value you have stored in application.properties for the key message.

package com.example;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@SpringBootApplication
@RestController
public class DemoApplication {

    @Value("${message}")
    private String message;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    @RequestMapping("/hello")
    String home() {
        return message;
    }

}

How to interactively (visually) resolve conflicts in SourceTree / git

From SourceTree, click on Tools->Options. Then on the "General" tab, make sure to check the box to allow SourceTree to modify your Git config files.

Then switch to the "Diff" tab. On the lower half, use the drop down to select the external program you want to use to do the diffs and merging. I've installed KDiff3 and like it well enough. When you're done, click OK.

Now when there is a merge, you can go under Actions->Resolve Conflicts->Launch External Merge Tool.

Difference between break and continue statement

Consider the following:

int n;
for(n = 0; n < 10; ++n) {
    break;
}
System.out.println(n);

break causes the loop to terminate and the value of n is 0.

int n;
for(n = 0; n < 10; ++n) {
    continue;
}
System.out.println(n);

continue causes the program counter to return to the first line of the loop (the condition is checked and the value of n is increment) and the final value of n is 10.

It should also be noted that break only terminates the execution of the loop it is within:

int m;
for(m = 0; m < 5; ++m)
{
    int n;
    for(n = 0; n < 5; ++n) {
        break;
    }
    System.out.println(n);
}
System.out.println(m);

Will output something to the effect of

0
0
0
0

Android - java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent

You need to set android:exported="true" in your AndroidManifest.xml file where you declare this Activity:

<activity
    android:name="com.example.lib.MainActivity"
    android:label="LibMain" 
    android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" >
        </action>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

Is there any use for unique_ptr with array?

One additional reason to allow and use std::unique_ptr<T[]>, that hasn't been mentioned in the responses so far: it allows you to forward-declare the array element type.

This is useful when you want to minimize the chained #include statements in headers (to optimize build performance.)

For instance -

myclass.h:

class ALargeAndComplicatedClassWithLotsOfDependencies;

class MyClass {
   ...
private:
   std::unique_ptr<ALargeAndComplicatedClassWithLotsOfDependencies[]> m_InternalArray;
};

myclass.cpp:

#include "myclass.h"
#include "ALargeAndComplicatedClassWithLotsOfDependencies.h"

// MyClass implementation goes here

With the above code structure, anyone can #include "myclass.h" and use MyClass, without having to include the internal implementation dependencies required by MyClass::m_InternalArray.

If m_InternalArray was instead declared as a std::array<ALargeAndComplicatedClassWithLotsOfDependencies>, or a std::vector<...>, respectively - the result would be attempted usage of an incomplete type, which is a compile-time error.

How do you set the width of an HTML Helper TextBox in ASP.NET MVC?

For this you have to use HtmlAttributes, but there is a catch: HtmlAttributes and css class .

you can define it like this:

new { Attrubute="Value", AttributeTwo = IntegerValue, @class="className" };

and here is a more realistic example:

new { style="width:50px" };
new { style="width:50px", maxsize = 50 };
new {size=30, @class="required"}

and finally in:

MVC 1

<%= Html.TextBox("test", new { style="width:50px" }) %> 

MVC 2

<%= Html.TextBox("test", null, new { style="width:50px" }) %> 

MVC 3

@Html.TextBox("test", null, new { style="width:50px" })

        writeer.write("dir");
        writeer.flush();
        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
        BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
        System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
        while ((ss = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(ss);
        }
        System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
        while ((ss = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(ss);
        }

    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("FROM CATCH" + e.toString());
    }

}

What does "The following object is masked from 'package:xxx'" mean?

I have the same problem. I avoid it with remove.packages("Package making this confusion") and it works. In my case, I don't need the second package, so that is not a very good idea.

How to use if - else structure in a batch file?

IF...ELSE IF constructs work very well in batch files, in particular when you use only one conditional expression on each IF line:

IF %F%==1 (
    ::copying the file c to d
    copy "%sourceFile%1" "%destinationFile1%"
) ELSE IF %F%==0 (
    ::moving the file e to f
    move "%sourceFile2%" "%destinationFile2%" )

In your example you use IF...AND...IF type construct, where 2 conditions must be met simultaneously. In this case you can still use IF...ELSE IF construct, but with extra parentheses to avoid uncertainty for the next ELSE condition:

IF %F%==1 (IF %C%==1 (
    ::copying the file c to d
    copy "%sourceFile1%" "%destinationFile1%" )
) ELSE IF %F%==1 (IF %C%==0 (
    ::moving the file e to f
    move "%sourceFile2%" "%destinationFile2%"))

The above construct is equivalent to:

IF %F%==1 (
    IF %C%==1 (
    ::copying the file c to d
    copy "%sourceFile1%" "%destinationFile1%"
    ) ELSE IF %C%==0 (
    ::moving the file e to f
    move "%sourceFile2%" "%destinationFile2%"))

Processing sequence of batch commands depends on CMD.exe parsing order. Just make sure your construct follows that logical order, and as a rule it will work. If your batch script is processed by Cmd.exe without errors, it means this is the correct (i.e. supported by your OS Cmd.exe version) construct, even if someone said otherwise.

Removing time from a Date object?

You can write that for example:

private Date TruncarFecha(Date fechaParametro) throws ParseException {
    String fecha="";
    DateFormat outputFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
    fecha =outputFormatter.format(fechaParametro);
    return outputFormatter.parse(fecha);
}

COALESCE with Hive SQL

Saving any file to in the database, just convert it to a byte array?

While you can store files in this fashion, it has significant tradeoffs:

  • Most DBs are not optimized for giant quantities of binary data, and query performance often degrades dramatically as the table bloats, even with indexes. (SQL Server 2008, with the FILESTREAM column type, is the exception to the rule.)
  • DB backup/replication becomes extremely slow.
  • It's a lot easier to handle a corrupted drive with 2 million images -- just replace the disk on the RAID -- than a DB table that becomes corrupted.
  • If you accidentally delete a dozen images on a filesystem, your operations guys can replace them pretty easily from a backup, and since the table index is tiny by comparison, it can be restored quickly. If you accidentally delete a dozen images in a giant database table, you have a long and painful wait to restore the DB from backup, paralyzing your entire system in the meantime.

These are just some of the drawbacks I can come up with off the top of my head. For tiny projects it may be worth storing files in this fashion, but if you're designing enterprise-grade software I would strongly recommend against it.

Difference between SET autocommit=1 and START TRANSACTION in mysql (Have I missed something?)

In InnoDB you have START TRANSACTION;, which in this engine is the officialy recommended way to do transactions, instead of SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0; (don't use SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0; for transactions in InnoDB unless it is for optimizing read only transactions). Commit with COMMIT;.

You might want to use SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0; in InnoDB for testing purposes, and not precisely for transactions.

In MyISAM you do not have START TRANSACTION;. In this engine, use SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0; for transactions. Commit with COMMIT; or SET AUTOCOMMIT = 1; (Difference explained in MyISAM example commentary below). You can do transactions this way in InnoDB too.

Source: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/glossary.html#glos_autocommit

Examples of general use transactions:

/* InnoDB */
START TRANSACTION;

INSERT INTO table_name (table_field) VALUES ('foo');
INSERT INTO table_name (table_field) VALUES ('bar');

COMMIT; /* SET AUTOCOMMIT = 1 might not set AUTOCOMMIT to its previous state */

/* MyISAM */
SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0;

INSERT INTO table_name (table_field) VALUES ('foo');
INSERT INTO table_name (table_field) VALUES ('bar');

SET AUTOCOMMIT = 1; /* COMMIT statement instead would not restore AUTOCOMMIT to 1 */

How to convert Milliseconds to "X mins, x seconds" in Java?

Either hand divisions, or use the SimpleDateFormat API.

long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
// do your work...
long elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH 'hours', mm 'mins,' ss 'seconds'");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+0"));
System.out.println(df.format(new Date(elapsed)));

Edit by Bombe: It has been shown in the comments that this approach only works for smaller durations (i.e. less than a day).

How to return a value from try, catch, and finally?

The problem is what happens when you get NumberFormatexception thrown? You print it and return nothing.

Note: You don't need to catch and throw an Exception back. Usually it is done to wrap it or print stack trace and ignore for example.

catch(RangeException e) {
     throw e;
}

What's the right way to pass form element state to sibling/parent elements?

  1. The right thing to do is to have the state in the parent component, to avoid ref and what not
  2. An issue is to avoid constantly updating all children when typing into a field
  3. Therefore, each child should be a Component (as in not a PureComponent) and implement shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps, nextState)
  4. This way, when typing into a form field, only that field updates

The code below uses @bound annotations from ES.Next babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy of BabelJS 6 and class-properties (the annotation sets this value on member functions similar to bind):

Running a command as Administrator using PowerShell?

Here's a self-elevating snippet for Powershell scripts which preserves the working directory:

if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)) {
    Start-Process PowerShell -Verb RunAs "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command `"cd '$pwd'; & '$PSCommandPath';`"";
    exit;
}

# Your script here

Preserving the working directory is important for scripts that perform path-relative operations. Almost all of the other answers do not preserve this path, which can cause unexpected errors in the rest of the script.

If you'd rather not use a self-elevating script/snippet, and instead just want an easy way to launch a script as adminstrator (eg. from the Explorer context-menu), see my other answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57033941/2441655

X11/Xlib.h not found in Ubuntu

If not install it using sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

and you are good to go :)

window.history.pushState refreshing the browser

window.history.pushState({urlPath:'/page1'},"",'/page1')

Only works after page is loaded, and when you will click on refresh it doesn't mean that there is any real URL.

What you should do here is knowing to which URL you are getting redirected when you reload this page. And on that page you can get the conditions by getting the current URL and making all of your conditions.

How do I fix a "Expected Primary-expression before ')' token" error?

showInventory(player);     // I get the error here.

void showInventory(player& obj) {   // By Johnny :D

this means that player is an datatype and showInventory expect an referance to an variable of type player.

so the correct code will be

  void showInventory(player& obj) {   // By Johnny :D
    for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        std::cout << "\nINVENTORY:\n" + obj.getItem(i);
        i++;
        std::cout << "\t\t\t" + obj.getItem(i) + "\n";
        i++;
    }
    }

players myPlayers[10];

    std::string toDo() //BY KEATON
    {
    std::string commands[5] =   // This is the valid list of commands.
        {"help", "inv"};

    std::string ans;
    std::cout << "\nWhat do you wish to do?\n>> ";
    std::cin >> ans;

    if(ans == commands[0]) {
        helpMenu();
        return NULL;
    }
    else if(ans == commands[1]) {
        showInventory(myPlayers[0]);     // or any other index,also is not necessary to have an array
        return NULL;
    }

}

How to Convert Int to Unsigned Byte and Back

Except char, every other numerical data type in Java are signed.

As said in a previous answer, you can get the unsigned value by performing an and operation with 0xFF. In this answer, I'm going to explain how it happens.

int i = 234;
byte b = (byte) i;
System.out.println(b);  // -22

int i2 = b & 0xFF;      
// This is like casting b to int and perform and operation with 0xFF

System.out.println(i2); // 234

If your machine is 32-bit, then the int data type needs 32-bits to store values. byte needs only 8-bits.

The int variable i is represented in the memory as follows (as a 32-bit integer).

0{24}11101010

Then the byte variable b is represented as:

11101010

As bytes are unsigned, this value represent -22. (Search for 2's complement to learn more on how to represent negative integers in memory)

Then if you cast is to int it will still be -22 because casting preserves the sign of a number.

1{24}11101010

The the casted 32-bit value of b perform and operation with 0xFF.

 1{24}11101010 & 0{24}11111111
=0{24}11101010

Then you get 234 as the answer.

Most efficient way to prepend a value to an array

With ES6, you can now use the spread operator to create a new array with your new elements inserted before the original elements.

_x000D_
_x000D_
// Prepend a single item._x000D_
const a = [1, 2, 3];_x000D_
console.log([0, ...a]);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

_x000D_
_x000D_
// Prepend an array._x000D_
const a = [2, 3];_x000D_
const b = [0, 1];_x000D_
console.log([...b, ...a]);
_x000D_

Update 2018-08-17: Performance

I intended this answer to present an alternative syntax that I think is more memorable and concise. It should be noted that according to some benchmarks (see this other answer), this syntax is significantly slower. This is probably not going to matter unless you are doing many of these operations in a loop.

Making a mocked method return an argument that was passed to it

You might want to use verify() in combination with the ArgumentCaptor to assure execution in the test and the ArgumentCaptor to evaluate the arguments:

ArgumentCaptor<String> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(String.class);
verify(mock).myFunction(argument.capture());
assertEquals("the expected value here", argument.getValue());

The argument's value is obviously accessible via the argument.getValue() for further manipulation / checking /whatever.

making matplotlib scatter plots from dataframes in Python's pandas

I will recommend to use an alternative method using seaborn which more powerful tool for data plotting. You can use seaborn scatterplot and define colum 3 as hue and size.

Working code:

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import numpy as np

#creating sample data 
sample_data={'col_name_1':np.random.rand(20),
      'col_name_2': np.random.rand(20),'col_name_3': np.arange(20)*100}
df= pd.DataFrame(sample_data)
sns.scatterplot(x="col_name_1", y="col_name_2", data=df, hue="col_name_3",size="col_name_3")

How can I use the apply() function for a single column?

Let me try a complex computation using datetime and considering nulls or empty spaces. I am reducing 30 years on a datetime column and using apply method as well as lambda and converting datetime format. Line if x != '' else x will take care of all empty spaces or nulls accordingly.

df['Date'] = df['Date'].fillna('')
df['Date'] = df['Date'].apply(lambda x : ((datetime.datetime.strptime(str(x), '%m/%d/%Y') - datetime.timedelta(days=30*365)).strftime('%Y%m%d')) if x != '' else x)

What methods of ‘clearfix’ can I use?

A new display value seems to the job in one line.

display: flow-root;

From the W3 spec: "The element generates a block container box, and lays out its contents using flow layout. It always establishes a new block formatting context for its contents."

Information: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-3/#valdef-display-flow-root https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5769454877147136

?As shown in the link above, support is currently limited so fallback support like below may be of use: https://github.com/fliptheweb/postcss-flow-root

Submitting form and pass data to controller method of type FileStreamResult

You seem to be specifying the form to use a HTTP 'GET' request using FormMethod.Get. This will not work unless you tell it to do a post as that is what you seem to want the ActionResult to do. This will probably work by changing FormMethod.Get to FormMethod.Post.

As well as this you may also want to think about how Get and Post requests work and how these interact with the Model.

DataTables fixed headers misaligned with columns in wide tables

I am having the same issue on IE9.

I will just use a RegExp to strip all the white spaces before writing the HTML to the page.

var Tables=$('##table_ID').html();
var expr = new RegExp('>[ \t\r\n\v\f]*<', 'g');
Tables= Tables.replace(expr, '><');
$('##table_ID').html(Tables);
oTable = $('##table_ID').dataTable( {
  "bPaginate": false,
  "bLengthChange": false,
  "bFilter": false,
  "bSort": true,
  "bInfo": true,
  "bAutoWidth": false,
  "sScrollY": ($(window).height() - 320),
  "sScrollX": "100%",
  "iDisplayLength":-1,
  "sDom": 'rt<"bottom"i flp>'
} );

Storing money in a decimal column - what precision and scale?

We recently implemented a system that needs to handle values in multiple currencies and convert between them, and figured out a few things the hard way.

NEVER USE FLOATING POINT NUMBERS FOR MONEY

Floating point arithmetic introduces inaccuracies that may not be noticed until they've screwed something up. All values should be stored as either integers or fixed-decimal types, and if you choose to use a fixed-decimal type then make sure you understand exactly what that type does under the hood (ie, does it internally use an integer or floating point type).

When you do need to do calculations or conversions:

  1. Convert values to floating point
  2. Calculate new value
  3. Round the number and convert it back to an integer

When converting a floating point number back to an integer in step 3, don't just cast it - use a math function to round it first. This will usually be round, though in special cases it could be floor or ceil. Know the difference and choose carefully.

Store the type of a number alongside the value

This may not be as important for you if you're only handling one currency, but it was important for us in handling multiple currencies. We used the 3-character code for a currency, such as USD, GBP, JPY, EUR, etc.

Depending on the situation, it may also be helpful to store:

  • Whether the number is before or after tax (and what the tax rate was)
  • Whether the number is the result of a conversion (and what it was converted from)

Know the accuracy bounds of the numbers you're dealing with

For real values, you want to be as precise as the smallest unit of the currency. This means you have no values smaller than a cent, a penny, a yen, a fen, etc. Don't store values with higher accuracy than that for no reason.

Internally, you may choose to deal with smaller values, in which case that's a different type of currency value. Make sure your code knows which is which and doesn't get them mixed up. Avoid using floating point values even here.


Adding all those rules together, we decided on the following rules. In running code, currencies are stored using an integer for the smallest unit.

class Currency {
   String code;       //  eg "USD"
   int value;         //  eg 2500
   boolean converted;
}

class Price {
   Currency grossValue;
   Currency netValue;
   Tax taxRate;
}

In the database, the values are stored as a string in the following format:

USD:2500

That stores the value of $25.00. We were able to do that only because the code that deals with currencies doesn't need to be within the database layer itself, so all values can be converted into memory first. Other situations will no doubt lend themselves to other solutions.


And in case I didn't make it clear earlier, don't use float!

Decompile Python 2.7 .pyc

UPDATE (2019-04-22) - It sounds like you want to use uncompyle6 nowadays rather than the answers I had mentioned originally.

This sounds like it works: http://code.google.com/p/unpyc/

Issue 8 says it supports 2.7: http://code.google.com/p/unpyc/updates/list

UPDATE (2013-09-03) - As noted in the comments and in other answers, you should look at https://github.com/wibiti/uncompyle2 or https://github.com/gstarnberger/uncompyle instead of unpyc.

Angular 2 Unit Tests: Cannot find name 'describe'

I'll just add Answer for what works for me in "typescript": "3.2.4" I realized that jasmine in node_modules/@types there is a folder for ts3.1 under the jasmine type so here are the steps:-

  • Install type jasmine npm install -D @types/jasmine
  • Add to tsconfig.json jasmine/ts3.1

    "typeRoots": [ ... "./node_modules/jasmine/ts3.1" ],

  • Add Jasmine to the types

    "types": [ "jasmine", "node" ],

Note: No need for this import 'jasmine'; anymore.

How to change the interval time on bootstrap carousel?
