JavaScript - onClick to get the ID of the clicked button

Sorry its a late answer but its really quick if you do this :-

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('button').on('click', function() {
     alert (this.id);
  });
});

This gets the ID of any button clicked.

If you want to just get value of button clicked in a certain place, just put them in container like

<div id = "myButtons"> buttons here </div>

and change the code to :-

 $(document).ready(function() {
      $('.myButtons button').on('click', function() {
         alert (this.id);
      });
    });

I hope this helps

How to Create an excel dropdown list that displays text with a numeric hidden value

There are two types of drop down lists available (I am not sure since which version).

ActiveX Drop Down
You can set the column widths, so your hidden column can be set to 0.

Form Drop Down
You could set the drop down range to a hidden sheet and reference the cell adjacent to the selected item. This would also work with the ActiveX type control.

Where does the slf4j log file get saved?

It does not write to a file by default. You would need to configure something like the RollingFileAppender and have the root logger write to it (possibly in addition to the default ConsoleAppender).

How to access the first property of a Javascript object?

If you need to access "the first property of an object", it might mean that there is something wrong with your logic. The order of an object's properties should not matter.

Can grep show only words that match search pattern?

I was unsatisfied with awk's hard to remember syntax but I liked the idea of using one utility to do this.

It seems like ack (or ack-grep if you use Ubuntu) can do this easily:

# ack-grep -ho "\bth.*?\b" *

the
the
the
this
thoroughly

If you omit the -h flag you get:

# ack-grep -o "\bth.*?\b" *

some-other-text-file
1:the

some-text-file
1:the
the

yet-another-text-file
1:this
thoroughly

As a bonus, you can use the --output flag to do this for more complex searches with just about the easiest syntax I've found:

# echo "bug: 1, id: 5, time: 12/27/2010" > test-file
# ack-grep -ho "bug: (\d*), id: (\d*), time: (.*)" --output '$1, $2, $3' test-file

1, 5, 12/27/2010

Delete files older than 3 months old in a directory using .NET

since the solutions with new FileInfo(filePath) are not easily testable, I suggest to use Wrappers for classes like Directory, File and Path like this:

public interface IDirectory
{
    string[] GetFiles(string path);
}

public sealed class DirectoryWrapper : IDirectory
{
    public string[] GetFiles(string path) => Directory.GetFiles(path);
}

public interface IFile
{
    void Delete(string path);
    DateTime GetLastAccessTime(string path);
}

public sealed class FileWrapper : IFile
{
    public void Delete(string path) => File.Delete(path);
    public DateTime GetLastAccessTimeUtc(string path) => File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc(path);
}

Then use something like this:

public sealed class FooBar
{
    public FooBar(IFile file, IDirectory directory)
    {
        File = file;
        Directory = directory;
    }

    private IFile File { get; }
    private IDirectory Directory { get; }

    public void DeleteFilesBeforeTimestamp(string path, DateTime timestamp)
    {
        if(!Directory.Exists(path))
            throw new DirectoryNotFoundException($"The path {path} was not found.");

        var files = Directory
            .GetFiles(path)
            .Select(p => new
            {
                Path = p,
                // or File.GetLastWriteTime() or File.GetCreationTime() as needed
                LastAccessTimeUtc = File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc(p) 
            })
            .Where(p => p.LastAccessTimeUtc < timestamp);

        foreach(var file in files)
        {
            File.Delete(file.Path);
        }
    }
}

Why can't DateTime.ParseExact() parse "9/1/2009" using "M/d/yyyy"

How to Detect Browser Window /Tab Close Event?

Solution Posted Here

After my initial research i found that when we close a browser, the browser will close all the tabs one by one to completely close the browser. Hence, i observed that there will be very little time delay between closing the tabs. So I taken this time delay as my main validation point and able to achieve the browser and tab close event detection.

//Detect Browser or Tab Close Events
$(window).on('beforeunload',function(e) {
  e = e || window.event;
  var localStorageTime = localStorage.getItem('storagetime')
  if(localStorageTime!=null && localStorageTime!=undefined){
    var currentTime = new Date().getTime(),
        timeDifference = currentTime - localStorageTime;

    if(timeDifference<25){//Browser Closed
       localStorage.removeItem('storagetime');
    }else{//Browser Tab Closed
       localStorage.setItem('storagetime',new Date().getTime());
    }

  }else{
    localStorage.setItem('storagetime',new Date().getTime());
  }
});

How to select into a variable in PL/SQL when the result might be null?

Using an Cursor FOR LOOP Statement is my favourite way to do this.

It is safer than using an explicit cursor, because you don't need to remember to close it, so you can't "leak" cursors.

You don't need "into" variables, you don't need to "FETCH", you don't need to catch and handle "NO DATA FOUND" exceptions.

Try it, you'll never go back.

v_column my_table.column%TYPE;

v_column := null;

FOR rMyTable IN (SELECT COLUMN FROM MY_TABLE WHERE ....) LOOP
  v_column := rMyTable.COLUMN;
  EXIT;  -- Exit the loop if you only want the first result.
END LOOP;

Heroku "psql: FATAL: remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections"

I actually tried to implement connection pooling on the django end using:

https://github.com/gmcguire/django-db-pool

but I still received this error, despite lowering the number of connections available to below the standard development DB quota of 20 open connections.

There is an article here about how to move your postgresql database to the free/cheap tier of Amazon RDS. This would allow you to set max_connections higher. This will also allow you to pool connections at the database level using PGBouncer.

https://www.lewagon.com/blog/how-to-migrate-heroku-postgres-database-to-amazon-rds

UPDATE:

Heroku responded to my open ticket and stated that my database was improperly load balanced in their network. They said that improvements to their system should prevent similar problems in the future. Nonetheless, support manually relocated my database and performance is noticeably improved.

How to insert a line break in a SQL Server VARCHAR/NVARCHAR string

I got here because I was concerned that cr-lfs that I specified in C# strings were not being shown in SQl Server Management Studio query responses.

It turns out, they are there, but are not being displayed.

To "see" the cr-lfs, use the print statement like:

select @tmp = msgbody from emailssentlog where id=6769;
print @tmp

How do I convert an ANSI encoded file to UTF-8 with Notepad++?

Maybe this is not the answer you needed, but I encountered similar problem, so I decided to put it here.

I needed to convert 500 xml files to UTF8 via Notepad++. Why Notepad++? When I used the option "Encode in UTF8" (many other converters use the same logic) it messed up all special characters, so I had to use "Convert to UTF8" explicitly.


Here some simple steps to convert multiple files via Notepad++ without messing up with special characters (for ex. diacritical marks).

  1. Run Notepad++ and then open menu Plugins->Plugin Manager->Show Plugin Manager
  2. Install Python Script. When plugin is installed, restart the application.
  3. Choose menu Plugins->Python Script->New script.
  4. Choose its name, and then past the following code:

convertToUTF8.py

import os
import sys
from Npp import notepad # import it first!

filePathSrc="C:\\Users\\" # Path to the folder with files to convert
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(filePathSrc):
    for fn in files: 
        if fn[-4:] == '.xml': # Specify type of the files
            notepad.open(root + "\\" + fn)      
            notepad.runMenuCommand("Encoding", "Convert to UTF-8")
            # notepad.save()
            # if you try to save/replace the file, an annoying confirmation window would popup.
            notepad.saveAs("{}{}".format(fn[:-4], '_utf8.xml')) 
            notepad.close()

After all, run the script

How can I use if/else in a dictionary comprehension?

You've already got it: A if test else B is a valid Python expression. The only problem with your dict comprehension as shown is that the place for an expression in a dict comprehension must have two expressions, separated by a colon:

{ (some_key if condition else default_key):(something_if_true if condition
          else something_if_false) for key, value in dict_.items() }

The final if clause acts as a filter, which is different from having the conditional expression.


Worth mentioning that you don't need to have an if-else condition for both the key and the value. For example, {(a if condition else b): value for key, value in dict.items()} will work.

Installing Python packages from local file system folder to virtualenv with pip

An option --find-links does the job and it works from requirements.txt file!

You can put package archives in some folder and take the latest one without changing the requirements file, for example requirements:

.
+---requirements.txt
+---requirements
    +---foo_bar-0.1.5-py2.py3-none-any.whl
    +---foo_bar-0.1.6-py2.py3-none-any.whl
    +---wiz_bang-0.7-py2.py3-none-any.whl
    +---wiz_bang-0.8-py2.py3-none-any.whl
    +---base.txt
    +---local.txt
    +---production.txt

Now in requirements/base.txt put:

--find-links=requirements
foo_bar
wiz_bang>=0.8

A neat way to update proprietary packages, just drop new one in the folder

In this way you can install packages from local folder AND pypi with the same single call: pip install -r requirements/production.txt

PS. See my cookiecutter-djangopackage fork to see how to split requirements and use folder based requirements organization.

.NET 4.0 has a new GAC, why?

Yes since there are 2 distinct Global Assembly Cache (GAC), you will have to manage each of them individually.

In .NET Framework 4.0, the GAC went through a few changes. The GAC was split into two, one for each CLR.

The CLR version used for both .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.5 is CLR 2.0. There was no need in the previous two framework releases to split GAC. The problem of breaking older applications in Net Framework 4.0.

To avoid issues between CLR 2.0 and CLR 4.0 , the GAC is now split into private GAC’s for each runtime.The main change is that CLR v2.0 applications now cannot see CLR v4.0 assemblies in the GAC.

Source

Why?

It seems to be because there was a CLR change in .NET 4.0 but not in 2.0 to 3.5. The same thing happened with 1.1 to 2.0 CLR. It seems that the GAC has the ability to store different versions of assemblies as long as they are from the same CLR. They do not want to break old applications.

See the following information in MSDN about the GAC changes in 4.0.

For example, if both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 shared the same GAC, then a .NET 1.1 application, loading an assembly from this shared GAC, could get .NET 2.0 assemblies, thereby breaking the .NET 1.1 application

The CLR version used for both .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.5 is CLR 2.0. As a result of this, there was no need in the previous two framework releases to split the GAC. The problem of breaking older (in this case, .NET 2.0) applications resurfaces in Net Framework 4.0 at which point CLR 4.0 released. Hence, to avoid interference issues between CLR 2.0 and CLR 4.0, the GAC is now split into private GACs for each runtime.

As the CLR is updated in future versions you can expect the same thing. If only the language changes then you can use the same GAC.

Angular 2 'component' is not a known element

I know this is a long resolved problem, but in my case I had a different solution. It was actually a mistake I made that maybe you made as well and didn't fully notice. My mistake was that I accidentally placed a Module e.g., MatChipsModule, MatAutoCompleteModule, on the declarations section; the section that is composed only by components e.g., MainComponent, AboutComponent. This made all my other import unrecognizable.

How do I do multiple CASE WHEN conditions using SQL Server 2008?

There are two formats of case expression. You can do CASE with many WHEN as;

CASE  WHEN Col1 = 1 OR Col3 = 1  THEN 1 
      WHEN Col1 = 2 THEN 2
      ...
      ELSE 0 END as Qty

Or a Simple CASE expression

CASE Col1 WHEN 1 THEN 11 WHEN 2 THEN 21 ELSE 13 END

Or CASE within CASE as;

CASE  WHEN Col1 < 2 THEN  
                    CASE Col2 WHEN 'X' THEN 10 ELSE 11 END
      WHEN Col1 = 2 THEN 2
      ...
      ELSE 0 END as Qty

Check if argparse optional argument is set or not

You can check an optionally passed flag with store_true and store_false argument action options:

import argparse

argparser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
argparser.add_argument('-flag', dest='flag_exists', action='store_true')

print argparser.parse_args([])
# Namespace(flag_exists=False)
print argparser.parse_args(['-flag'])
# Namespace(flag_exists=True)

This way, you don't have to worry about checking by conditional is not None. You simply check for True or False. Read more about these options in the docs here

Adding options to select with javascript

The most concise and intuitive way would be:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var selectElement = document.getElementById('ageselect');_x000D_
_x000D_
for (var age = 12; age <= 100; age++) {_x000D_
  selectElement.add(new Option(age));_x000D_
}
_x000D_
Your age: <select id="ageselect"><option value="">Please select</option></select>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

You can also differentiate the name and the value or add items at the start of the list with additional parameters to the used functions:
HTMLSelect?Element?.add(item[, before]);
new Option(text, value, defaultSelected, selected);

How do I access the HTTP request header fields via JavaScript?

If you want to access referrer and user-agent, those are available to client-side Javascript, but not by accessing the headers directly.

To access the user-agent, use navigator.userAgent.

As others have indicated, the HTTP headers are not available, but you specifically asked about the referer and user-agent, which are available via Javascript.

Excel formula to get cell color

Color is not data.

The Get.cell technique has flaws.

  1. It does not update as soon as the cell color changes, but only when the cell (or the sheet) is recalculated.
  2. It does not have sufficient numbers for the millions of colors that are available in modern Excel. See the screenshot and notice how the different intensities of yellow or purple all have the same number.

enter image description here

That does not surprise, since the Get.cell uses an old XML command, i.e. a command from the macro language Excel used before VBA was introduced. At that time, Excel colors were limited to less than 60.

Again: Color is not data.

If you want to color-code your cells, use conditional formatting based on the cell values or based on rules that can be expressed with logical formulas. The logic that leads to conditional formatting can also be used in other places to report on the data, regardless of the color value of the cell.

Combine two data frames by rows (rbind) when they have different sets of columns

You can use smartbind from the gtools package.

df2 <- data.frame(a = c(11:15), b = c(16:20), c = LETTERS[1:5])
smartbind(df1, df2)
# result

How to force ViewPager to re-instantiate its items

I have found a solution. It is just a workaround to my problem but currently the only solution.

ViewPager PagerAdapter not updating the View

public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   return POSITION_NONE;
}

Does anyone know whether this is a bug or not?

Understanding the difference between Object.create() and new SomeFunction()

This:

var foo = new Foo();

and

var foo = Object.create(Foo.prototype);

are quite similar. One important difference is that new Foo actually runs constructor code, whereas Object.create will not execute code such as

function Foo() {
    alert("This constructor does not run with Object.create");
}

Note that if you use the two-parameter version of Object.create() then you can do much more powerful things.

Set an environment variable in git bash

A normal variable is set by simply assigning it a value; note that no whitespace is allowed around the =:

HOME=c

An environment variable is a regular variable that has been marked for export to the environment.

export HOME
HOME=c

You can combine the assignment with the export statement.

export HOME=c

Programmatically add custom event in the iPhone Calendar

Swift 4.0 implementation :

use import in top of page by import EventKit

then

@IBAction func addtoCalendarClicked(sender: AnyObject) {

    let eventStore = EKEventStore()

    eventStore.requestAccess( to: EKEntityType.event, completion:{(granted, error) in

        if (granted) && (error == nil) {
            print("granted \(granted)")
            print("error \(error)")

            let event = EKEvent(eventStore: eventStore)

            event.title = "Event Title"
            event.startDate = Date()
            event.endDate = Date()
            event.notes = "Event Details Here"
            event.calendar = eventStore.defaultCalendarForNewEvents

            var event_id = ""
            do {
                try eventStore.save(event, span: .thisEvent)
                event_id = event.eventIdentifier
            }
            catch let error as NSError {
                print("json error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            }

            if(event_id != ""){
                print("event added !")
            }
        }
    })
}

How can I mock the JavaScript window object using Jest?

If it's similar to the window location problem at window.location.href can't be changed in tests. #890, you could try (adjusted):

delete global.window.open;
global.window = Object.create(window);
global.window.open = jest.fn();

Run javascript script (.js file) in mongodb including another file inside js

Yes you can. The default location for script files is data/db

If you put any script there you can call it as

TypeScript getting error TS2304: cannot find name ' require'

Quick and Dirty

If you just have one file using require, or you're doing this for demo purposes you can define require at the top of your TypeScript file.

declare var require: any

TypeScript 2.x

If you are using TypeScript 2.x you no longer need to have Typings or Definitely Typed installed. Simply install the following package.

npm install @types/node --save-dev

The Future of Declaration Files (6/15/2016)

Tools like Typings and tsd will continue to work, and we’ll be working alongside those communities to ensure a smooth transition.

Verify or Edit your src/tsconfig.app.json so that it contains the following:

...
"types": [ "node" ],
"typeRoots": [ "../node_modules/@types" ]
...

Make sure is the file in the src folder and no the one on the root app folder.

By default, any package under @types is already included in your build unless you've specified either of these options. Read more

TypeScript 1.x

Using typings (DefinitelyTyped's replacement) you can specify a definition directly from a GitHub repository.

Install typings

npm install typings -g --save-dev

Install the requireJS type definition from DefinitelyType's repo

typings install dt~node --save --global

Webpack

If you are using Webpack as your build tool you can include the Webpack types.

npm install --save-dev @types/webpack-env

Update your tsconfig.json with the following under compilerOptions:

"types": [
      "webpack-env"
    ]

This allows you to do require.ensure and other Webpack specific functions.

Angular CLI

With CLI you can follow the Webpack step above and add the "types" block to your tsconfig.app.json.

Alternatively, you could use the preinstalled node types. Keep in mind this will include additional types to your client-side code that are not really available.

"compilerOptions": {
    // other options
    "types": [
      "node"
    ]
  }

List<Map<String, String>> vs List<? extends Map<String, String>>

What I'm missing in the other answers is a reference to how this relates to co- and contravariance and sub- and supertypes (that is, polymorphism) in general and to Java in particular. This may be well understood by the OP, but just in case, here it goes:

Covariance

If you have a class Automobile, then Car and Truck are their subtypes. Any Car can be assigned to a variable of type Automobile, this is well-known in OO and is called polymorphism. Covariance refers to using this same principle in scenarios with generics or delegates. Java doesn't have delegates (yet), so the term applies only to generics.

I tend to think of covariance as standard polymorphism what you would expect to work without thinking, because:

List<Car> cars;
List<Automobile> automobiles = cars;
// You'd expect this to work because Car is-a Automobile, but
// throws inconvertible types compile error.

The reason of the error is, however, correct: List<Car> does not inherit from List<Automobile> and thus cannot be assigned to each other. Only the generic type parameters have an inherit relationship. One might think that the Java compiler simply isn't smart enough to properly understand your scenario there. However, you can help the compiler by giving him a hint:

List<Car> cars;
List<? extends Automobile> automobiles = cars;   // no error

Contravariance

The reverse of co-variance is contravariance. Where in covariance the parameter types must have a subtype relationship, in contravariance they must have a supertype relationship. This can be considered as an inheritance upper-bound: any supertype is allowed up and including the specified type:

class AutoColorComparer implements Comparator<Automobile>
    public int compare(Automobile a, Automobile b) {
        // Return comparison of colors
    }

This can be used with Collections.sort:

public static <T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c)

// Which you can call like this, without errors:
List<Car> cars = getListFromSomewhere();
Collections.sort(cars, new AutoColorComparer());

You could even call it with a comparer that compares objects and use it with any type.

When to use contra or co-variance?

A bit OT perhaps, you didn't ask, but it helps understanding answering your question. In general, when you get something, use covariance and when you put something, use contravariance. This is best explained in an answer to Stack Overflow question How would contravariance be used in Java generics?.

So what is it then with List<? extends Map<String, String>>

You use extends, so the rules for covariance applies. Here you have a list of maps and each item you store in the list must be a Map<string, string> or derive from it. The statement List<Map<String, String>> cannot derive from Map, but must be a Map.

Hence, the following will work, because TreeMap inherits from Map:

List<Map<String, String>> mapList = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
mapList.add(new TreeMap<String, String>());

but this will not:

List<? extends Map<String, String>> mapList = new ArrayList<? extends Map<String, String>>();
mapList.add(new TreeMap<String, String>());

and this will not work either, because it does not satisfy the covariance constraint:

List<? extends Map<String, String>> mapList = new ArrayList<? extends Map<String, String>>();
mapList.add(new ArrayList<String>());   // This is NOT allowed, List does not implement Map

What else?

This is probably obvious, but you may have already noted that using the extends keyword only applies to that parameter and not to the rest. I.e., the following will not compile:

List<? extends Map<String, String>> mapList = new List<? extends Map<String, String>>();
mapList.add(new TreeMap<String, Element>())  // This is NOT allowed

Suppose you want to allow any type in the map, with a key as string, you can use extend on each type parameter. I.e., suppose you process XML and you want to store AttrNode, Element etc in a map, you can do something like:

List<? extends Map<String, ? extends Node>> listOfMapsOfNodes = new...;

// Now you can do:
listOfMapsOfNodes.add(new TreeMap<Sting, Element>());
listOfMapsOfNodes.add(new TreeMap<Sting, CDATASection>());

printf not printing on console

You could try writing to stderr, rather than stdout.

fprintf(stderr, "Hello, please enter your age\n");

Check if a row exists using old mysql_* API

function checkLectureStatus($lectureName) {
  global $con;
  $lectureName = mysql_real_escape_string($lectureName);
  $sql = "SELECT 1 FROM preditors_assigned WHERE lecture_name='$lectureName'";
  $result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error()." ".$sql);
  if (mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
    return 'Assigned';
  }
  return 'Available';
}

however you have to use some abstraction library for the database access.
the code would become

function checkLectureStatus($lectureName) {
  $res = db::getOne("SELECT 1 FROM preditors_assigned WHERE lecture_name=?",$lectureName);
  if($res) {
    return 'Assigned';
  }
  return 'Available';
}

}

How can I check if a value is a json object?

var checkJSON = function(m) {

   if (typeof m == 'object') {

      catch(err) { return false; } }

   if (typeof m == 'string') {

};


checkJSON(JSON.parse('{}'));      //true
checkJSON(JSON.parse('{"a":0}')); //true
checkJSON('{}');                  //true
checkJSON('{"a":0}');             //true
checkJSON('x');                   //false
checkJSON('');                    //false
checkJSON();                      //false

Remove privileges from MySQL database

As a side note, the reason revoke usage on *.* from 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost'; does not work is quite simple : There is no grant called USAGE.

The actual named grants are in the MySQL Documentation

The grant USAGE is a logical grant. How? 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost' has an entry in mysql.user where user='phpmyadmin' and host='localhost'. Any row in mysql.user semantically means USAGE. Running DROP USER 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost'; should work just fine. Under the hood, it's really doing this:

DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user='phpmyadmin' and host='localhost';
DELETE FROM mysql.db   WHERE user='phpmyadmin' and host='localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Therefore, the removal of a row from mysql.user constitutes running REVOKE USAGE, even though REVOKE USAGE cannot literally be executed.

python-How to set global variables in Flask?

With:

global index_add_counter

You are not defining, just declaring so it's like saying there is a global index_add_counter variable elsewhere, and not create a global called index_add_counter. As you name don't exists, Python is telling you it can not import that name. So you need to simply remove the global keyword and initialize your variable:

index_add_counter = 0

Now you can import it with:

from app import index_add_counter

The construction:

global index_add_counter

is used inside modules' definitions to force the interpreter to look for that name in the modules' scope, not in the definition one:

index_add_counter = 0
def test():
  global index_add_counter # means: in this scope, use the global name
  print(index_add_counter)

How to quickly clear a JavaScript Object?

Something new to think about looking forward to Object.observe in ES7 and with data-binding in general. Consider:

var foo={
   name: "hello"
};

Object.observe(foo, function(){alert('modified');}); // bind to foo

foo={}; // You are no longer bound to foo but to an orphaned version of it
foo.name="there"; // This change will be missed by Object.observe()

So under that circumstance #2 can be the best choice.

Read XML file using javascript

You can use below script for reading child of the above xml. It will work with IE and Mozila Firefox both.

<script type="text/javascript">

function readXml(xmlFile){

var xmlDoc;

if(typeof window.DOMParser != "undefined") {
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlhttp.open("GET",xmlFile,false);
    if (xmlhttp.overrideMimeType){
        xmlhttp.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
    }
    xmlhttp.send();
    xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
}
else{
    xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    xmlDoc.async="false";
    xmlDoc.load(xmlFile);
}
var tagObj=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("marker");
var typeValue = tagObj[0].getElementsByTagName("type")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var titleValue = tagObj[0].getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
</script>

How do I use the lines of a file as arguments of a command?

If you want to do this in a robust way that works for every possible command line argument (values with spaces, values with newlines, values with literal quote characters, non-printable values, values with glob characters, etc), it gets a bit more interesting.


To write to a file, given an array of arguments:

printf '%s\0' "${arguments[@]}" >file

...replace with "argument one", "argument two", etc. as appropriate.


To read from that file and use its contents (in bash, ksh93, or another recent shell with arrays):

declare -a args=()
while IFS='' read -r -d '' item; do
  args+=( "$item" )
done <file
run_your_command "${args[@]}"

To read from that file and use its contents (in a shell without arrays; note that this will overwrite your local command-line argument list, and is thus best done inside of a function, such that you're overwriting the function's arguments and not the global list):

set --
while IFS='' read -r -d '' item; do
  set -- "$@" "$item"
done <file
run_your_command "$@"

Note that -d (allowing a different end-of-line delimiter to be used) is a non-POSIX extension, and a shell without arrays may also not support it. Should that be the case, you may need to use a non-shell language to transform the NUL-delimited content into an eval-safe form:

quoted_list() {
  ## Works with either Python 2.x or 3.x
  python -c '
import sys, pipes, shlex
quote = pipes.quote if hasattr(pipes, "quote") else shlex.quote
print(" ".join([quote(s) for s in sys.stdin.read().split("\0")][:-1]))
  '
}

eval "set -- $(quoted_list <file)"
run_your_command "$@"

What is the difference between Integrated Security = True and Integrated Security = SSPI?

Using Windows Authentication

To connect to the database server is recommended to use Windows Authentication, commonly known as integrated security. To specify the Windows authentication, you can use any of the following two key-value pairs with the data provider. NET Framework for SQL Server:

 Integrated Security = true;
 Integrated Security = SSPI;

However, only the second works with the data provider .NET Framework OleDb. If you set Integrated Security = true for ConnectionString an exception is thrown.

To specify the Windows authentication in the data provider. NET Framework for ODBC, you should use the following key-value pair.

Trusted_Connection = yes;

Set the text in a span

You need to fix your selector. Although CSS syntax requires multiple classes to be space separated, selector syntax would require them to be directly concatenated, and dot prefixed:

$(".ui-icon.ui-icon-circle-triangle-w").text(...);

or better:

$(".ui-datepicker-prev > span").text(...);

Java: set timeout on a certain block of code?

EDIT: Peter Lawrey is completely right: it's not as simple as interrupting a thread (my original suggestion), and Executors & Callables are very useful ...

Rather than interrupting threads, you could set a variable on the Callable once the timeout is reached. The callable should check this variable at appropriate points in task execution, to know when to stop.

Callables return Futures, with which you can specify a timeout when you try to 'get' the future's result. Something like this:

try {
   future.get(timeoutSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
   myCallable.setStopMeAtAppropriatePlace(true);
}

See Future.get, Executors, and Callable ...

Nginx fails to load css files

I also face this issue, I tried a lot of solutions, but none really worked for me

Here's how I solved it;

A. Grant ownership of the domain document root directory (say my root directory is/var/www/nginx-demo) to the Nginx user (www-data) to avoid any permission issues:

sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/nginx-demo

B. Confirm that your virtual host server block conforms to this standard (say I am using localhost as my server_name and my root as /var/www/nginx-demo/website)

server {
   listen 80;
   listen [::]:80;

   server_name localhost;

   root /var/www/nginx-demo/website;
   index index.html;

   location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
   }
}

C. Test the Nginx configuration for correct syntax:

sudo nginx -t

If there are no errors in the configuration syntax the output will look like this:

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

D. Restart the Nginx service for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

E. Hard refresh your website in your browser to avoid cached files with incorrect headers using the keyboard keys Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Fn + F5.

That's all.

I hope this helps.

Databound drop down list - initial value

To select a value from the dropdown use the index like this:

if we have the

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true"></asp:DropDownList>

you would use :

DropDownList1.Items[DropDownList1.SelectedIndex].Value

this would return the value for the selected index.

Convert an image to grayscale in HTML/CSS

Support for CSS filters has landed in Webkit. So we now have a cross-browser solution.

_x000D_

  filter: gray; /* IE6-9 */_x000D_
  -webkit-filter: grayscale(1); /* Google Chrome, Safari 6+ & Opera 15+ */_x000D_
  filter: grayscale(1); /* Microsoft Edge and Firefox 35+ */_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
/* Disable grayscale on hover */_x000D_
img:hover {_x000D_
  -webkit-filter: grayscale(0);_x000D_
  filter: none;_x000D_
}

What about Internet Explorer 10?

You can use a polyfill like gray.

jQuery callback on image load (even when the image is cached)

If you want a pure CSS solution, this trick works very well - use the transform object. This also works with images when they're cached or not:

CSS:

.main_container{
    position: relative;
    width: 500px;
    height: 300px;
    background-color: #cccccc;
}

.center_horizontally{
  position: absolute;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: green;
  left: 50%;
  top: 0;
  transform: translate(-50%,0);
}

.center_vertically{
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 0;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: blue;
  transform: translate(0,-50%);
}

.center{
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: red;
  transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
}

HTML:

<div class="main_container">
  <div class="center_horizontally"></div>
  <div class="center_vertically"></div>
  <div class="center"></div>
  </div>
</div

jQuery .on('change', function() {} not triggering for dynamically created inputs

You should provide a selector to the on function:

$(document).on('change', 'input', function() {
  // Does some stuff and logs the event to the console
});

In that case, it will work as you expected. Also, it is better to specify some element instead of document.

SQL: parse the first, middle and last name from a fullname field

If you are trying to parse apart a human name in PHP, I recommend Keith Beckman's nameparse.php script.

Copy in case site goes down:

<?
/*
Name:   nameparse.php
Version: 0.2a
Date:   030507
First:  030407
License:    GNU General Public License v2
Bugs:   If one of the words in the middle name is Ben (or St., for that matter),
        or any other possible last-name prefix, the name MUST be entered in
        last-name-first format. If the last-name parsing routines get ahold
        of any prefix, they tie up the rest of the name up to the suffix. i.e.:

        William Ben Carey   would yield 'Ben Carey' as the last name, while,
        Carey, William Ben  would yield 'Carey' as last and 'Ben' as middle.

        This is a problem inherent in the prefix-parsing routines algorithm,
        and probably will not be fixed. It's not my fault that there's some
        odd overlap between various languages. Just don't name your kids
        'Something Ben Something', and you should be alright.

How to adjust text font size to fit textview

I found the following to work nicely for me. It doesn't loop and accounts for both height and width. Note that it is important to specify the PX unit when calling setTextSize on the view. Thanks to the tip in a previous post for this!

Paint paint = adjustTextSize(getPaint(), numChars, maxWidth, maxHeight);
setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX,paint.getTextSize());

Here is the routine I use, passing in the getPaint() from the view. A 10 character string with a 'wide' character is used to estimate the width independent from the actual string.

private static final String text10="OOOOOOOOOO";
public static Paint adjustTextSize(Paint paint, int numCharacters, int widthPixels, int heightPixels) {
    float width = paint.measureText(text10)*numCharacters/text10.length();
    float newSize = (int)((widthPixels/width)*paint.getTextSize());
    paint.setTextSize(newSize);

    // remeasure with font size near our desired result
    width = paint.measureText(text10)*numCharacters/text10.length();
    newSize = (int)((widthPixels/width)*paint.getTextSize());
    paint.setTextSize(newSize);

    // Check height constraints
    FontMetricsInt metrics = paint.getFontMetricsInt();
    float textHeight = metrics.descent-metrics.ascent;
    if (textHeight > heightPixels) {
        newSize = (int)(newSize * (heightPixels/textHeight));
        paint.setTextSize(newSize);
    }

    return paint;
}

How to get the current directory of the cmdlet being executed

For what it's worth, to be a single-line solution, the below is a working solution for me.

$currFolderName = (Get-Location).Path.Substring((Get-Location).Path.LastIndexOf("\")+1)

The 1 at the end is to ignore the /.

Thanks to the posts above using the Get-Location cmdlet.

What's the actual use of 'fail' in JUnit test case?

I think the usual use case is to call it when no exception was thrown in a negative test.

Something like the following pseudo-code:

test_addNilThrowsNullPointerException()
{
    try {
        foo.add(NIL);                      // we expect a NullPointerException here
        fail("No NullPointerException");   // cause the test to fail if we reach this            
     } catch (NullNullPointerException e) {
        // OK got the expected exception
    }
}

ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

Try this from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

This might be a problem with Beautiful Soup, version 4, and the beta days. I just read this from the homepage.

Why is Ant giving me a Unsupported major.minor version error

  1. Check whether u have jdk installed in the path "C:\Program Files\Java" If not Install the JDK in your machine

  2. In Eclipse, right click on "build.xml" then select Run As > External Tools Configuration

  3. Click on "JRE" tab then click on "Installed JREs" > "ADD" > "Standard VM" > Click "Next

  4. Select the Directory "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.x_xx" and the directory will be added to the "installed jres"

  5. Select the new JDK directory and Click "OK"

  6. Click on "Seperate JRE" dropdown and select the JDK version "jdk1.7.x_xx" and click on "Run"

This would help:)

l = list(input_tuple)
l.append('Python')
#print(l)
tuple_2 = tuple(l)

# Make sure to name the final tuple 'tuple_2'
print(tuple_2)

How to make script execution wait until jquery is loaded

Check this:

https://jsfiddle.net/neohunter/ey2pqt5z/

It will create a fake jQuery object, that allows you to use the onload methods of jquery, and they will be executed as soon as jquery is loaded.

It's not perfect.

How can I take an UIImage and give it a black border?

You can't add a border, but this would work for the same effect. You could also make the UIView called blackBG in this example into a UIImageView with a border image and a blank middle, and then you'd have a custom image border instead of just black.

UIView *blackBG = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,100,100)];

blackBG.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];

UIImageView *myPicture = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:
                          [UIImage imageNamed: @"myPicture.jpg"]];

int borderWidth = 10;

myPicture.frame = CGRectMake(borderWidth,
                             borderWidth,

Instagram API: How to get all user media?

In June 2016 Instagram made most of the functionality of their API available only to applications that have passed a review process. They still however provide JSON data through the web interface, and you can add the parameter __a=1 to a URL to only include the JSON data.

max=
while :;do
  c=$(curl -s "https://www.instagram.com/username/?__a=1&max_id=$max")
  jq -r '.user.media.nodes[]?|.display_src'<<<"$c"
  max=$(jq -r .user.media.page_info.end_cursor<<<"$c")
  jq -e .user.media.page_info.has_next_page<<<"$c">/dev/null||break
done

Edit: As mentioned in the comment by alnorth29, the max_id parameter is now ignored. Instagram also changed the format of the response, and you need to perform additional requests to get the full-size URLs of images in the new-style posts with multiple images per post. You can now do something like this to list the full-size URLs of images on the first page of results:

c=$(curl -s "https://www.instagram.com/username/?__a=1")
jq -r '.graphql.user.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges[]?|.node|select(.__typename!="GraphSidecar").display_url'<<<"$c"
jq -r '.graphql.user.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges[]?|.node|select(.__typename=="GraphSidecar")|.shortcode'<<<"$c"|while read l;do
  curl -s "https://www.instagram.com/p/$l?__a=1"|jq -r '.graphql.shortcode_media|.edge_sidecar_to_children.edges[]?.node|.display_url'
done

To make a list of the shortcodes of each post made by the user whose profile is opened in the frontmost tab in Safari, I use a script like this:

sjs(){ osascript -e'{on run{a}','tell app"safari"to do javascript a in document 1',end} -- "$1";}

while :;do
  sjs 'o="";a=document.querySelectorAll(".v1Nh3 a");for(i=0;e=a[i];i++){o+=e.href+"\n"};o'>>/tmp/a
  sjs 'window.scrollBy(0,window.innerHeight)'
  sleep 1
done

How can I convert a DOM element to a jQuery element?

So far best solution that I've made:

function convertHtmlToJQueryObject(html){
    var htmlDOMObject = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, "text/html");
    return $(htmlDOMObject.documentElement);
}

Set value for particular cell in pandas DataFrame using index

You can also use a conditional lookup using .loc as seen here:

df.loc[df[<some_column_name>] == <condition>, [<another_column_name>]] = <value_to_add>

where <some_column_name is the column you want to check the <condition> variable against and <another_column_name> is the column you want to add to (can be a new column or one that already exists). <value_to_add> is the value you want to add to that column/row.

This example doesn't work precisely with the question at hand, but it might be useful for someone wants to add a specific value based on a condition.

Apache 2.4.3 (with XAMPP 1.8.1) not starting in windows 8

I had the same problem and error, I tried changing the ports for http port from 80 to 81 and ssl port from 443 to 444 but still received the same error so I reverted the ports to default and ran setup_xampp.bat which solve the problem in seconds.

What's the difference between django OneToOneField and ForeignKey?

Also OneToOneField is useful to be used as primary key to avoid key duplication. One may do not have implicit / explicit autofield

models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

but use OneToOneField as primary key instead (imagine UserProfile model for example):

user = models.OneToOneField(
    User, null=False, primary_key=True, verbose_name='Member profile')

How to get the employees with their managers

(SELECT ename FROM EMP WHERE empno = mgr)

There are no records in EMP that meet this criteria.

You need to self-join to get this relation.

SELECT e.ename AS Employee, e.empno, m.ename AS Manager, m.empno
FROM EMP AS e LEFT OUTER JOIN EMP AS m
ON e.mgr =m.empno;

EDIT:

The answer you selected will not list your president because it's an inner join. I'm thinking you'll be back when you discover your output isn't what your (I suspect) homework assignment required. Here's the actual test case:

> select * from emp;

 empno | ename |    job    | deptno | mgr  
-------+-------+-----------+--------+------
  7839 | king  | president |     10 |     
  7698 | blake | manager   |     30 | 7839
(2 rows)

> SELECT e.ename employee, e.empno, m.ename manager, m.empno
FROM emp AS e LEFT OUTER JOIN emp AS m
ON e.mgr =m.empno;

 employee | empno | manager | empno 
----------+-------+---------+-------
 king     |  7839 |         |      
 blake    |  7698 | king    |  7839
(2 rows)

The difference is that an outer join returns all the rows. An inner join will produce the following:

> SELECT e.ename, e.empno, m.ename as manager, e.mgr
FROM emp e, emp m
WHERE e.mgr = m.empno;

 ename | empno | manager | mgr  
-------+-------+---------+------
 blake |  7698 | king    | 7839
(1 row)

CASE statement in SQLite query

Also, you do not have to use nested CASEs. You can use several WHEN-THEN lines and the ELSE line is also optional eventhough I recomend it

CASE 
   WHEN [condition.1] THEN [expression.1]
   WHEN [condition.2] THEN [expression.2]
   ...
   WHEN [condition.n] THEN [expression.n]
   ELSE [expression] 
END

How do I monitor all incoming http requests?

You might consider running Fiddler as a reverse proxy, you should be able to get clients to connect to Fiddler's address and then forward the requests from Fiddler to your application.

This will require either a bit of port manipulation or client config, depending on what's easier based on your requirements.

Details of how to do it are here: http://www.fiddler2.com/Fiddler/Help/ReverseProxy.asp

Enum to String C++

enum Enum{ Banana, Orange, Apple } ;
static const char * EnumStrings[] = { "bananas & monkeys", "Round and orange", "APPLE" };

const char * getTextForEnum( int enumVal )
{
  return EnumStrings[enumVal];
}

the getSource() and getActionCommand()

I use getActionCommand() to hear buttons. I apply the setActionCommand() to each button so that I can hear whenever an event is execute with event.getActionCommand("The setActionCommand() value of the button").

I use getSource() for JRadioButtons for example. I write methods that returns each JRadioButton so in my Listener Class I can specify an action each time a new JRadioButton is pressed. So for example:

public class SeleccionListener implements ActionListener, FocusListener {}

So with this I can hear button events and radioButtons events. The following are examples of how I listen each one:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
    if (event.getActionCommand().equals(GUISeleccion.BOTON_ACEPTAR)) {
        System.out.println("Aceptar pressed");
    }

In this case GUISeleccion.BOTON_ACEPTAR is a "public static final String" which is used in JButtonAceptar.setActionCommand(BOTON_ACEPTAR).

public void focusGained(FocusEvent focusEvent) {
    if (focusEvent.getSource().equals(guiSeleccion.getJrbDat())){
        System.out.println("Data radio button");
    }

In this one, I get the source of any JRadioButton that is focused when the user hits it. guiSeleccion.getJrbDat() returns the reference to the JRadioButton that is in the class GUISeleccion (this is a Frame)

MySQL Join Where Not Exists

I'd probably use a LEFT JOIN, which will return rows even if there's no match, and then you can select only the rows with no match by checking for NULLs.

So, something like:

SELECT V.*
FROM voter V LEFT JOIN elimination E ON V.id = E.voter_id
WHERE E.voter_id IS NULL

Whether that's more or less efficient than using a subquery depends on optimization, indexes, whether its possible to have more than one elimination per voter, etc.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare();

Android basically works on two thread types namely UI thread and background thread. According to android documentation -

Do not access the Android UI toolkit from outside the UI thread to fix this problem, Android offers several ways to access the UI thread from other threads. Here is a list of methods that can help:

Activity.runOnUiThread(Runnable)  
View.post(Runnable)  
View.postDelayed(Runnable, long)

Now there are various methods to solve this problem. I will explain it by code sample

runOnUiThread

new Thread()
{
    public void run()
    {
        myactivity.this.runOnUiThread(new runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                //Do your UI operations like dialog opening or Toast here
            }
        });
    }
}.start();

LOOPER

Class used to run a message loop for a thread. Threads by default do not have a message loop associated with them; to create one, call prepare() in the thread that is to run the loop, and then loop() to have it process messages until the loop is stopped.

class LooperThread extends Thread {
    public Handler mHandler;

    public void run() {
        Looper.prepare();

        mHandler = new Handler() {
            public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                // process incoming messages here
            }
        };

        Looper.loop();
    }

AsyncTask

AsyncTask allows you to perform asynchronous work on your user interface. It performs the blocking operations in a worker thread and then publishes the results on the UI thread, without requiring you to handle threads and/or handlers yourself.

public void onClick(View v) {
    new CustomTask().execute((Void[])null);
}


private class CustomTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    protected Void doInBackground(Void... param) {
        //Do some work
        return null;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Void param) {
        //Print Toast or open dialog
    }
}

Handler

A Handler allows you to send and process Message and Runnable objects associated with a thread's MessageQueue.

Message msg = new Message();


    new Thread()
    {
        public void run()
        {
            msg.arg1=1;
            handler.sendMessage(msg);
        }
    }.start();



    Handler handler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {

        @Override
        public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
            if(msg.arg1==1)
            {
                //Print Toast or open dialog        
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

how to set the default value to the drop down list control?

After your DataBind():

lstDepartment.SelectedIndex = 0;  //first item

or

lstDepartment.SelectedValue = "Yourvalue"

or 
//add error checking, just an example, FindByValue may return null
lstDepartment.Items.FindByValue("Yourvalue").Selected = true;

or
//add error checking, just an example, FindByText may return null
lstDepartment.Items.FindByText("Yourvalue").Selected = true;

Where am I? - Get country

You could use getNetworkCountryIso() from TelephonyManager to get the country the phone is currently in (although apparently this is unreliable on CDMA networks).

Getting selected value of a combobox

Try this:

private void cmbLineColor_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)cmbLineColor.SelectedItem;
        int selectedValue = (int)drv.Row.ItemArray[1];
    }

Upper memory limit?

(This is my third answer because I misunderstood what your code was doing in my original, and then made a small but crucial mistake in my second—hopefully three's a charm.

Edits: Since this seems to be a popular answer, I've made a few modifications to improve its implementation over the years—most not too major. This is so if folks use it as template, it will provide an even better basis.

As others have pointed out, your MemoryError problem is most likely because you're attempting to read the entire contents of huge files into memory and then, on top of that, effectively doubling the amount of memory needed by creating a list of lists of the string values from each line.

Python's memory limits are determined by how much physical ram and virtual memory disk space your computer and operating system have available. Even if you don't use it all up and your program "works", using it may be impractical because it takes too long.

Anyway, the most obvious way to avoid that is to process each file a single line at a time, which means you have to do the processing incrementally.

To accomplish this, a list of running totals for each of the fields is kept. When that is finished, the average value of each field can be calculated by dividing the corresponding total value by the count of total lines read. Once that is done, these averages can be printed out and some written to one of the output files. I've also made a conscious effort to use very descriptive variable names to try to make it understandable.

try:
    from itertools import izip_longest
except ImportError:    # Python 3
    from itertools import zip_longest as izip_longest

GROUP_SIZE = 4
input_file_names = ["A1_B1_100000.txt", "A2_B2_100000.txt", "A1_B2_100000.txt",
                    "A2_B1_100000.txt"]
file_write = open("average_generations.txt", 'w')
mutation_average = open("mutation_average", 'w')  # left in, but nothing written

for file_name in input_file_names:
    with open(file_name, 'r') as input_file:
        print('processing file: {}'.format(file_name))

        totals = []
        for count, fields in enumerate((line.split('\t') for line in input_file), 1):
            totals = [sum(values) for values in
                        izip_longest(totals, map(float, fields), fillvalue=0)]
        averages = [total/count for total in totals]

        for print_counter, average in enumerate(averages):
            print('  {:9.4f}'.format(average))
            if print_counter % GROUP_SIZE == 0:
                file_write.write(str(average)+'\n')

file_write.write('\n')
file_write.close()
mutation_average.close()

How to pass anonymous types as parameters?

You can do it like this:

public void LogEmployees<T>(List<T> list) // Or IEnumerable<T> list
{
    foreach (T item in list)
    {

    }
}

... but you won't get to do much with each item. You could call ToString, but you won't be able to use (say) Name and Id directly.

Postgresql -bash: psql: command not found

perhaps psql isn't in the PATH of the postgres user. Use the locate command to find where psql is and ensure that it's path is in the PATH for the postgres user.

To get specific part of a string in c#

You can use Substring:

Set auto height and width in CSS/HTML for different screen sizes

///UPDATED DEMO 2 WATCH SOLUTION////

I hope that is the solution you're looking for! DEMO1 DEMO2

With that solution the only scrollbar in the page is on your contents section in the middle! In that section build your structure with a sidebar or whatever you want!

You can do that with that code here:

<div class="navTop">
<h1>Title</h1>
    <nav>Dynamic menu</nav>
</div>
<div class="container">
    <section>THE CONTENTS GOES HERE</section>
</div>
<footer class="bottomFooter">
    Footer
</footer>

With that css:

.navTop{
width:100%;
border:1px solid black;
float:left;
}
.container{
width:100%;
float:left;
overflow:scroll;
}
.bottomFooter{
float:left;
border:1px solid black;
width:100%;
}

And a bit of jquery:

$(document).ready(function() {
  function setHeight() {
    var top = $('.navTop').outerHeight();
    var bottom = $('footer').outerHeight();
    var totHeight = $(window).height();
    $('section').css({ 
      'height': totHeight - top - bottom + 'px'
    });
  }

  $(window).on('resize', function() { setHeight(); });
  setHeight();
});

How can I get a file's size in C++?

In c++ you can use following function, it will return the size of you file in bytes.

#include <fstream>

int fileSize(const char *add){
    ifstream mySource;
    mySource.open(add, ios_base::binary);
    mySource.seekg(0,ios_base::end);
    int size = mySource.tellg();
    mySource.close();
    return size;
}

Send email using java

You need a SMTP server for sending mails. There are servers you can install locally on your own pc, or you can use one of the many online servers. One of the more known servers is Google's:

I just successfully tested the allowed Google SMTP configurations using the first example from Simple Java Mail:

    final Email email = EmailBuilder.startingBlank()
        .from("lollypop", "[email protected]")
        .to("C.Cane", "[email protected]")
        .withPlainText("We should meet up!")
        .withHTMLText("<b>We should meet up!</b>")
        .withSubject("hey");

    // starting 5.0.0 do the following using the MailerBuilder instead...
    new Mailer("smtp.gmail.com", 25, "your user", "your password", TransportStrategy.SMTP_TLS).sendMail(email);
    new Mailer("smtp.gmail.com", 587, "your user", "your password", TransportStrategy.SMTP_TLS).sendMail(email);
    new Mailer("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "your user", "your password", TransportStrategy.SMTP_SSL).sendMail(email);

Notice the various ports and transport strategies (which handle all the necessary properties for you).

Curiously, Google require TLS on port 25 as well, even though Google's instructions say otherwise.

Converting double to string with N decimals, dot as decimal separator, and no thousand separator

For a decimal, use the ToString method, and specify the Invariant culture to get a period as decimal separator:

value.ToString("0.00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

The long type is an integer, so there is no fraction part. You can just format it into a string and add some zeros afterwards:

value.ToString() + ".00"

Get current clipboard content?

You can use

window.clipboardData.getData('Text')

to get the content of user's clipboard in IE. However, in other browser you may need to use flash to get the content, since there is no standard interface to access the clipboard. May be you can have try this plugin Zero Clipboard

How can I insert values into a table, using a subquery with more than one result?

If you are inserting one record into your table, you can do

INSERT INTO yourTable 
VALUES(value1, value2)

But since you want to insert more than one record, you can use a SELECT FROM in your SQL statement.

so you will want to do this:

INSERT INTO prices (group, id, price) 
SELECT 7, articleId, 1.50
from article 
WHERE name LIKE 'ABC%'

How do I find the CPU and RAM usage using PowerShell?

I have combined all the above answers into a script that polls the counters and writes the measurements in the terminal:

$totalRam = (Get-CimInstance Win32_PhysicalMemory | Measure-Object -Property capacity -Sum).Sum
while($true) {
    $date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
    $cpuTime = (Get-Counter '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time').CounterSamples.CookedValue
    $availMem = (Get-Counter '\Memory\Available MBytes').CounterSamples.CookedValue
    $date + ' > CPU: ' + $cpuTime.ToString("#,0.000") + '%, Avail. Mem.: ' + $availMem.ToString("N0") + 'MB (' + (104857600 * $availMem / $totalRam).ToString("#,0.0") + '%)'
    Start-Sleep -s 2
}

This produces the following output:

2020-02-01 10:56:55 > CPU: 0.797%, Avail. Mem.: 2,118MB (51.7%)
2020-02-01 10:56:59 > CPU: 0.447%, Avail. Mem.: 2,118MB (51.7%)
2020-02-01 10:57:03 > CPU: 0.089%, Avail. Mem.: 2,118MB (51.7%)
2020-02-01 10:57:07 > CPU: 0.000%, Avail. Mem.: 2,118MB (51.7%)

You can hit Ctrl+C to abort the loop.

So, you can connect to any Windows machine with this command:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName MyServerName -Credential MyUserName

...paste it in, and run it, to get a "live" measurement. If connecting to the machine doesn't work directly, take a look here.

JavaScript equivalent of PHP’s die

You can only break a block scope if you label it. For example:

myBlock: {
  var a = 0;
  break myBlock;
  a = 1; // this is never run
};
a === 0;

You cannot break a block scope from within a function in the scope. This means you can't do stuff like:

foo: { // this doesn't work
  (function() {
    break foo;
  }());
}

You can do something similar though with functions:

function myFunction() {myFunction:{
  // you can now use break myFunction; instead of return;
}}

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.facebook.sdk error 2.) ios6

check your Bundle identifier for your project and you give Bundle identifier for your app which create on developer.facebook.com that they are same or not.

Android findViewById() in Custom View

Change your Method as following and check it will work

private void initViews() {
    inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    inflater.inflate(R.layout.id_number_edit_text_custom, this, true);
    View view = (View) inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, null);
    editText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.id_number_custom);
    loadButton = (ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.load_data_button);
    loadButton.setVisibility(RelativeLayout.INVISIBLE);
    loadData();
} 

What is the use of the init() usage in JavaScript?

JavaScript doesn't have a built-in init() function, that is, it's not a part of the language. But it's not uncommon (in a lot of languages) for individual programmers to create their own init() function for initialisation stuff.

A particular init() function may be used to initialise the whole webpage, in which case it would probably be called from document.ready or onload processing, or it may be to initialise a particular type of object, or...well, you name it.

What any given init() does specifically is really up to whatever the person who wrote it needed it to do. Some types of code don't need any initialisation.

function init() {
  // initialisation stuff here
}

// elsewhere in code
init();

CSS: Creating textured backgrounds

You should try slicing the image if possible into a smaller piece which could be repeated. I have sliced that image to a 101x101px image.

BG Tile

CSS:

body{
  background-image: url(SO_texture_bg.jpg);
  background-repeat:repeat;
}

But in some cases, we wouldn't be able to slice the image to a smaller one. In that case, I would use the whole image. But you could also use the CSS3 methods like what Mustafa Kamal had mentioned.

Wish you good luck.

Linq to Entities - SQL "IN" clause

An alternative method to BenAlabaster answer

First of all, you can rewrite the query like this:

var matches = from Users in people
        where Users.User_Rights == "Admin" ||
              Users.User_Rights == "Users" || 
              Users.User_Rights == "Limited"
        select Users;

Certainly this is more 'wordy' and a pain to write but it works all the same.

So if we had some utility method that made it easy to create these kind of LINQ expressions we'd be in business.

with a utility method in place you can write something like this:

var matches = ctx.People.Where(
        BuildOrExpression<People, string>(
           p => p.User_Rights, names
        )
);

This builds an expression that has the same effect as:

var matches = from p in ctx.People
        where names.Contains(p.User_Rights)
        select p;

But which more importantly actually works against .NET 3.5 SP1.

Here is the plumbing function that makes this possible:

public static Expression<Func<TElement, bool>> BuildOrExpression<TElement, TValue>(
        Expression<Func<TElement, TValue>> valueSelector, 
        IEnumerable<TValue> values
    )
{     
    if (null == valueSelector) 
        throw new ArgumentNullException("valueSelector");

    if (null == values)
        throw new ArgumentNullException("values");  

    ParameterExpression p = valueSelector.Parameters.Single();

    if (!values.Any())   
        return e => false;

    var equals = values.Select(value =>
        (Expression)Expression.Equal(
             valueSelector.Body,
             Expression.Constant(
                 value,
                 typeof(TValue)
             )
        )
    );
   var body = equals.Aggregate<Expression>(
            (accumulate, equal) => Expression.Or(accumulate, equal)
    ); 

   return Expression.Lambda<Func<TElement, bool>>(body, p);
}

I'm not going to try to explain this method, other than to say it essentially builds a predicate expression for all the values using the valueSelector (i.e. p => p.User_Rights) and ORs those predicates together to create an expression for the complete predicate

How do I run a bat file in the background from another bat file?

Other than foreground/background term. Another way to hide running window is via vbscript, if is is still available in your system.

DIM objShell
set objShell=wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")
iReturn=objShell.Run("yourcommand.exe", 0, TRUE)

name it as sth.vbs and call it from bat, put in sheduled task, etc. PersonallyI'll disable vbs with no haste at any Windows system I manage :)

Intel's HAXM equivalent for AMD on Windows OS

From the Android docs (March 2016):

Before attempting to use this type of acceleration, you should first determine if your development system’s CPU supports one of the following virtualization extensions technologies:

  • Intel Virtualization Technology (VT, VT-x, vmx) extensions
  • AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) extensions (only supported for Linux)

The specifications from the manufacturer of your CPU should indicate if it supports virtualization extensions. If your CPU does not support one of these virtualization technologies, then you cannot use virtual machine acceleration.

Note: Virtualization extensions are typically enabled through your computer's BIOS and are frequently turned off by default. Check the documentation for your system's motherboard to find out how to enable virtualization extensions.

Most people talk about Genymotion being faster, and I have never heard anyone say it's slower. I definitely think it's faster, and it will be worth the ~20 minutes it will take to set up just to try it.

When use ResponseEntity<T> and @RestController for Spring RESTful applications

According to official documentation: Creating REST Controllers with the @RestController annotation

@RestController is a stereotype annotation that combines @ResponseBody and @Controller. More than that, it gives more meaning to your Controller and also may carry additional semantics in future releases of the framework.

It seems that it's best to use @RestController for clarity, but you can also combine it with ResponseEntity for flexibility when needed (According to official tutorial and the code here and my question to confirm that).

For example:

@RestController
public class MyController {

    @GetMapping(path = "/test")
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
    public User test() {
        User user = new User();
        user.setName("Name 1");

        return user;
    }

}

is the same as:

@RestController
public class MyController {

    @GetMapping(path = "/test")
    public ResponseEntity<User> test() {
        User user = new User();
        user.setName("Name 1");

        HttpHeaders responseHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
        // ...
        return new ResponseEntity<>(user, responseHeaders, HttpStatus.OK);
    }

}

This way, you can define ResponseEntity only when needed.

Update

You can use this:

    return ResponseEntity.ok().headers(responseHeaders).body(user);

Using PI in python 2.7

To have access to stuff provided by math module, like pi. You need to import the module first:

import math
print (math.pi)

Replacing NULL with 0 in a SQL server query

When you want to replace a possibly null column with something else, use IsNull.

SELECT ISNULL(myColumn, 0 ) FROM myTable

This will put a 0 in myColumn if it is null in the first place.

Move entire line up and down in Vim

In command mode position the cursor on the line you want to move down, and then

ddp

Explanation: dd deletes the current line to the general buffer p puts it back AFTER the cursor position, or in case of entire lines, one line below.

There is some confusion regarding commands p and P in many docs. In reality p pastes AFTER cursor, and P AT cursor.

Single line sftp from terminal

sftp supports batch files.

From the man page:

-b batchfile

Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile instead of stdin.  
Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with non-interactive
authentication.  A batchfile of `-' may be used to indicate standard input.  sftp 
will abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put, rename, ln, rm, mkdir, 
chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp, lpwd, df, symlink, and lmkdir.  Termination 
on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by prefixing the command 
with a `-' character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*).

Is there a way to get a textarea to stretch to fit its content without using PHP or JavaScript?

How to check if $_GET is empty?

Easy.

if (empty($_GET)) {
    // $_GET is empty
}

What are the time complexities of various data structures?

Arrays

  • Set, Check element at a particular index: O(1)
  • Searching: O(n) if array is unsorted and O(log n) if array is sorted and something like a binary search is used,
  • As pointed out by Aivean, there is no Delete operation available on Arrays. We can symbolically delete an element by setting it to some specific value, e.g. -1, 0, etc. depending on our requirements
  • Similarly, Insert for arrays is basically Set as mentioned in the beginning

ArrayList:

  • Add: Amortized O(1)
  • Remove: O(n)
  • Contains: O(n)
  • Size: O(1)

Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Doubly-Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Stack:

  • Push: O(1)
  • Pop: O(1)
  • Top: O(1)
  • Search (Something like lookup, as a special operation): O(n) (I guess so)

Queue/Deque/Circular Queue:

  • Insert: O(1)
  • Remove: O(1)
  • Size: O(1)

Binary Search Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(n)

Red-Black Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(log n)

Heap/PriorityQueue (min/max):

  • Find Min/Find Max: O(1)
  • Insert: O(log n)
  • Delete Min/Delete Max: O(log n)
  • Extract Min/Extract Max: O(log n)
  • Lookup, Delete (if at all provided): O(n), we will have to scan all the elements as they are not ordered like BST

HashMap/Hashtable/HashSet:

  • Insert/Delete: O(1) amortized
  • Re-size/hash: O(n)
  • Contains: O(1)

Python JSON serialize a Decimal object

For Django users:

Recently came across TypeError: Decimal('2337.00') is not JSON serializable while JSON encoding i.e. json.dumps(data)

Solution:

# converts Decimal, Datetime, UUIDs to str for Encoding
from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder  

json.dumps(response.data, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder)

But, now the Decimal value will be a string, now we can explicitly set the decimal/float value parser when decoding data, using parse_float option in json.loads:

import decimal 

data = json.loads(data, parse_float=decimal.Decimal) # default is float(num_str)

Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]

Change

<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>

to

<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="false"/>

You're telling WCF to use https for the metadata endpoint and I see that your'e exposing your service on http, and then you get the error in the title.

You also have to set <security mode="None" /> if you want to use HTTP as your URL suggests.

Live search through table rows

Here is the pure Javascript version of it with LIVE search for ALL COLUMNS :

function search_table(){
  // Declare variables 
  var input, filter, table, tr, td, i;
  input = document.getElementById("search_field_input");
  filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
  table = document.getElementById("table_id");
  tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");

  // Loop through all table rows, and hide those who don't match the search query
  for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
    td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td") ; 
    for(j=0 ; j<td.length ; j++)
    {
      let tdata = td[j] ;
      if (tdata) {
        if (tdata.innerHTML.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) {
          tr[i].style.display = "";
          break ; 
        } else {
          tr[i].style.display = "none";
        }
      } 
    }
  }
}

Best Practice: Software Versioning

You know you can always check to see what others are doing. Open source software tend to allow access to their repositories. For example you could point your SVN browser to http://svn.doctrine-project.org and take a look at the versioning system used by a real project.

Version numbers, tags, it's all there.

SQL left join vs multiple tables on FROM line?

When you need an outer join the second syntax is not always required:

Oracle:

SELECT a.foo, b.foo
  FROM a, b
 WHERE a.x = b.x(+)

MSSQLServer (although it's been deprecated in 2000 version)/Sybase:

SELECT a.foo, b.foo
  FROM a, b
 WHERE a.x *= b.x

But returning to your question. I don't know the answer, but it is probably related to the fact that a join is more natural (syntactically, at least) than adding an expression to a where clause when you are doing exactly that: joining.

How to remove leading whitespace from each line in a file

This Perl code edits your original file:

perl -i -ne 's/^\s+//;print' file

The next one makes a backup copy before editing the original file:

perl -i.bak -ne 's/^\s+//;print' file

Notice that Perl borrows heavily from sed (and AWK).

Console.log not working at all

In my case it was caused by console.groupCollapsed().

And collapsed messages don't get detected by ctrl+f apparently.

Maintaining unfamiliar code is scary sometimes...

It even collapsed the exception message, absence of which made me put those console.logs in the first place ^_^

Rails 4 image-path, image-url and asset-url no longer work in SCSS files

Your first formulation, image_url('logo.png'), is correct. If the image is found, it will generate the path /assets/logo.png (plus a hash in production). However, if Rails cannot find the image that you named, it will fall back to /images/logo.png.

The next question is: why isn't Rails finding your image? If you put it in app/assets/images/logo.png, then you should be able to access it by going to http://localhost:3000/assets/logo.png.

If that works, but your CSS isn't updating, you may need to clear the cache. Delete tmp/cache/assets from your project directory and restart the server (webrick, etc.).

If that fails, you can also try just using background-image: url(logo.png); That will cause your CSS to look for files with the same relative path (which in this case is /assets).

Find all CSV files in a directory using Python

Use the python glob module to easily list out the files we need.

import glob
path_csv=glob.glob("../data/subfolrder/*.csv")

RecyclerView - Get view at particular position

You can get a view for a particular position on a recyclerview using the following

int position = 2;
RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder = recyclerview.findViewHolderForItemId(position);
View view = viewHolder.itemView;
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.imageView);

How to fix Git error: object file is empty?

Copy everything (in the folder containing the .git) to a backup, then delete everything and restart. Make sure you have the git remote handy:

git remote -v
 origin [email protected]:rwldrn/idiomatic.js.git (fetch)
 origin [email protected]:rwldrn/idiomatic.js.git (push)

Then

mkdir mygitfolder.backup
cp mygitfolder/* mygitfolder.backup/
cd mygitfolder
rm -r * .git*
git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:rwldrn/idiomatic.js.git

Then merge any new files manually, and try to keep your computer turned on.

How to check if a column is empty or null using SQL query select statement?

Does this do what you want?

SELECT *
FROM UserProfile
WHERE PropertydefinitionID in (40, 53)
  AND (    PropertyValue is NULL
        or PropertyValue = '' );

SQL distinct for 2 fields in a database

If you want distinct values from only two fields, plus return other fields with them, then the other fields must have some kind of aggregation on them (sum, min, max, etc.), and the two columns you want distinct must appear in the group by clause. Otherwise, it's just as Decker says.

Perl: Use s/ (replace) and return new string

If you have Perl 5.14 or greater, you can use the /r option with the substitution operator to perform non-destructive substitution:

print "bla: ", $myvar =~ s/a/b/r, "\n";

In earlier versions you can achieve the same using a do() block with a temporary lexical variable, e.g.:

print "bla: ", do { (my $tmp = $myvar) =~ s/a/b/; $tmp }, "\n";

Error during installing HAXM, VT-X not working

Uninstall any antivirus (Avast, in my case), reboot the system and try install the Intel HAXM again. It works for me.

How to execute a shell script in PHP?

If you are having a small script that you need to run (I simply needed to copy a file), I found it much easier to call the commands on the PHP script by calling

exec("sudo cp /tmp/testfile1 /var/www/html/testfile2");

and enabling such transaction by editing (or rather adding) a permitting line to the sudoers by first calling sudo visudo and adding the following line to the very end of it

www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/cp /tmp/testfile1 /var/www/html/testfile2

All I wanted to do was to copy a file and I have been having problems with doing so because of the root password problem, and as you mentioned I did NOT want to expose the system to have no password for all root transactions.

PHP function to build query string from array

Here's a simple php4-friendly implementation:

/**
* Builds an http query string.
* @param array $query  // of key value pairs to be used in the query
* @return string       // http query string.
**/
function build_http_query( $query ){

    $query_array = array();

    foreach( $query as $key => $key_value ){

        $query_array[] = urlencode( $key ) . '=' . urlencode( $key_value );

    }

    return implode( '&', $query_array );

}

Classes vs. Modules in VB.NET

Classes

  • classes can be instantiated as objects
  • Object data exists separately for each instantiated object.
  • classes can implement interfaces.
  • Members defined within a class are scoped within a specific instance of the class and exist only for the lifetime of the object.
  • To access class members from outside a class, you must use fully qualified names in the format of Object.Member.

Modules

  • Modules cannot be instantiated as objects,Because there is only one copy of a standard module's data, when one part of your program changes a public variable in a standard module, it will be visible to the entire program.
  • Members declared within a module are publicly accessible by default.
  • It can be accessed by any code that can access the module.
  • This means that variables in a standard module are effectively global variables because they are visible from anywhere in your project, and they exist for the life of the program.

.htaccess rewrite subdomain to directory

You can use the following rule in .htaccess to rewrite a subdomain to a subfolder:

RewriteEngine On

 # If the host is "sub.domain.com"
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.com$ [NC]
 # Then rewrite any request to /folder
 RewriteRule ^((?!folder).*)$ /folder/$1 [NC,L]

Line-by-line explanation:

  RewriteEngine on

The line above tells the server to turn on the engine for rewriting URLs.

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.com$ [NC]

This line is a condition for the RewriteRule where we match against the HTTP host using a regex pattern. The condition says that if the host is sub.domain.com then execute the rule.

 RewriteRule ^((?!folder).*)$ /folder/$1 [NC,L]

The rule matches http://sub.domain.com/foo and internally redirects it to http://sub.domain.com/folder/foo.

Replace sub.domain.com with your subdomain and folder with name of the folder you want to point your subdomain to.

How to get cookie's expire time

You can set your cookie value containing expiry and get your expiry from cookie value.

// set
$expiry = time()+3600;
setcookie("mycookie", "mycookievalue|$expiry", $expiry);

// get
if (isset($_COOKIE["mycookie"])) {
  list($value, $expiry) = explode("|", $_COOKIE["mycookie"]);
}

// Remember, some two-way encryption would be more secure in this case. See: https://github.com/qeremy/Cryptee

8080 port already taken issue when trying to redeploy project from Spring Tool Suite IDE

If you got any error on your console by saying, “Embedded servlet container failed to start. Port 8080 was already in use.” Then go to application.properties file and add this property “server.port = 8090”.

Actually the default port for spring boot is 8080, if you have something else on that port, the above error will occur. So we are asking spring boot to run on other port by adding “server.port = 8090” in application.properties file.

How to retrieve raw post data from HttpServletRequest in java

We had a situation where IE forced us to post as text/plain, so we had to manually parse the parameters using getReader. The servlet was being used for long polling, so when AsyncContext::dispatch was executed after a delay, it was literally reposting the request empty handed.

So I just stored the post in the request when it first appeared by using HttpServletRequest::setAttribute. The getReader method empties the buffer, where getParameter empties the buffer too but stores the parameters automagically.

    String input = null;

    // we have to store the string, which can only be read one time, because when the
    // servlet awakens an AsyncContext, it reposts the request and returns here empty handed
    if ((input = (String) request.getAttribute("com.xp.input")) == null) {
        StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
        BufferedReader reader = request.getReader();

        String line;
        while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
            buffer.append(line);
        }
        // reqBytes = buffer.toString().getBytes();

        input = buffer.toString();
        request.setAttribute("com.xp.input", input);
    }

    if (input == null) {
        response.setContentType("text/plain");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.print("{\"act\":\"fail\",\"msg\":\"invalid\"}");
    }

How can I make a jQuery UI 'draggable()' div draggable for touchscreen?

Caution: This answer was written in 2010 and technology moves fast. For a more recent solution, see @ctrl-alt-dileep's answer below.


Depending on your needs, you may wish to try the jQuery touch plugin; you can try an example here. It works fine to drag on my iPhone, whereas jQuery UI Draggable doesn't.

Alternatively, you can try this plugin, though that might require you to actually write your own draggable function.

As a sidenote: Believe it or not, we're hearing increasing buzz about how touch devices such as the iPad and iPhone is causing problems both for websites using :hover/onmouseover functions and draggable content.

If you're interested in the underlying solution for this, it's to use three new JavaScript events; ontouchstart, ontouchmove and ontouchend. Apple actually has written an article about their use, which you can find here. A simplified example can be found here. These events are used in both of the plugins I linked to.

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

first call Looper.prepare() and then call Toast.makeText().show() last call Looper.loop() like:

using awk with column value conditions

My awk version is 3.1.5.

Yes, the input file is space separated, no tabs.

0.180467091
0.010615711
0.492569002


$ awk '$8 ~ "ClNonZ" { print $3}' test  
0.180467091
0.010615711
0.492569002

What didn't work(I don't know why and maybe due to my awk version:),

$awk '$8 ~ "^ClNonZ$"{ print $3; }' test
$awk '$8 == "ClNonZ" { print $3 }' test

Thank you all for your answers, comments and help!

Using HTML5 file uploads with AJAX and jQuery

It's not too hard. Firstly, take a look at FileReader Interface.

So, when the form is submitted, catch the submission process and

var file = document.getElementById('fileBox').files[0]; //Files[0] = 1st file
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsText(file, 'UTF-8');
reader.onload = shipOff;
//reader.onloadstart = ...
//reader.onprogress = ... <-- Allows you to update a progress bar.
//reader.onabort = ...
//reader.onerror = ...
//reader.onloadend = ...


function shipOff(event) {
    var result = event.target.result;
    var fileName = document.getElementById('fileBox').files[0].name; //Should be 'picture.jpg'
    $.post('/myscript.php', { data: result, name: fileName }, continueSubmission);
}

Then, on the server side (i.e. myscript.php):

$data = $_POST['data'];
$fileName = $_POST['name'];
$serverFile = time().$fileName;
$fp = fopen('/uploads/'.$serverFile,'w'); //Prepends timestamp to prevent overwriting
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
$returnData = array( "serverFile" => $serverFile );
echo json_encode($returnData);

Or something like it. I may be mistaken (and if I am, please, correct me), but this should store the file as something like 1287916771myPicture.jpg in /uploads/ on your server, and respond with a JSON variable (to a continueSubmission() function) containing the fileName on the server.

Check out fwrite() and jQuery.post().

On the above page it details how to use readAsBinaryString(), readAsDataUrl(), and readAsArrayBuffer() for your other needs (e.g. images, videos, etc).

Github Windows 'Failed to sync this branch'

When it says that, just open the shell and do git status. That will give you a decent idea of what could be wrong and the state of your repo.

I can't give you a specific error for this as it happens for many reasons in Github for Windows, like say some problem in updating submodules etc.

if block inside echo statement?

You can always use the ( <condition> ? <value if true> : <value if false> ) syntax (it's called the ternary operator - thanks to Mark for remining me :) ).

If <condition> is true, the statement would be evaluated as <value if true>. If not, it would be evaluated as <value if false>

For instance:

$fourteen = 14;
$twelve = 12;
echo "Fourteen is ".($fourteen > $twelve ? "more than" : "not more than")." twelve";

This is the same as:

$fourteen = 14;
$twelve = 12;
if($fourteen > 12) {
  echo "Fourteen is more than twelve";
}else{
  echo "Fourteen is not more than twelve";
}

Selenium: Can I set any of the attribute value of a WebElement in Selenium?

You would have to use the JavascriptExecutor class:

WebDriver driver; // Assigned elsewhere
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("document.getElementById('//id of element').setAttribute('attr', '10')");

Intent from Fragment to Activity

use this

public void goToAttract(View v)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), MainActivityList.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

be sure you've registered MainActivityList in you Manifest

adding .css file to ejs

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

So folder structure should be:

.
./app.js
./public
 /css
 /style.css

How to print something to the console in Xcode?

In some environments, NSLog() will be unresponsive. But there are other ways to get output...

NSString* url = @"someurlstring";
printf("%s", [url UTF8String]);

By using printf with the appropriate parameters, we can display things this way. This is the only way I have found to work on online Objective-C sandbox environments.

Ajax success function

It is because Ajax is asynchronous, the success or the error function will be called later, when the server answer the client. So, just move parts depending on the result into your success function like that :

jQuery.ajax({

            type:"post",
            dataType:"json",
            url: myAjax.ajaxurl,
            data: {action: 'submit_data', info: info},
            success: function(data) {
                successmessage = 'Data was succesfully captured';
                $("label#successmessage").text(successmessage);
            },
            error: function(data) {
                successmessage = 'Error';
                $("label#successmessage").text(successmessage);
            },
        });

        $(":input").val('');
        return false;

Restricting input to textbox: allowing only numbers and decimal point

Starting from @rebisco answer :

function count_appearance(mainStr, searchFor) {
    return (mainStr.split(searchFor).length - 1);
}
function isNumberKey(evt)
{
    $return = true;
    var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode;
    if (charCode != 46 && charCode > 31
            && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))
        $return = false;
    $val = $(evt.originalTarget).val();
    if (charCode == 46) {
        if (count_appearance($val, '.') > 0) {
            $return = false;
        }
        if ($val.length == 0) {
            $return = false;
        }
    }
    return $return;
}

Allows only this format : 123123123[.121213]

How to open/run .jar file (double-click not working)?

I was having this same issue for both Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 configurations. I had installed the latest version of JDK Java 7 and had set my **JAVA_HOME**system env variable to the jre folder: *C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7* I also added the bin folder to my **Path** system env variable: *%JAVA_HOME%\bin*

But I was still having problems with double clicking the executable jar files. I found another system env variable OPENDS_JAVA_ARGS that can be used to set the optional properties for javaw.exe. So I added this variable and set it to: -jar

Now I am able to run the executable jar files when double clicking them.

regex match any whitespace

Your regex should work 'as-is'. Assuming that it is doing what you want it to.

wordA(\s*)wordB(?! wordc)

This means match wordA followed by 0 or more spaces followed by wordB, but do not match if followed by wordc. Note the single space between ?! and wordc which means that wordA wordB wordc will not match, but wordA wordB wordc will.

Here are some example matches and the associated replacement output:

enter image description here

Note that all matches are replaced no matter how many spaces. There are a couple of other points: -

  • (?! wordc) is a negative lookahead, so you wont match lines wordA wordB wordc which is assume is intended (and is why the last line is not matched). Currently you are relying on the space after ?! to match the whitespace. You may want to be more precise and use (?!\swordc). If you want to match against more than one space before wordc you can use (?!\s*wordc) for 0 or more spaces or (?!\s*+wordc) for 1 or more spaces depending on what your intention is. Of course, if you do want to match lines with wordc after wordB then you shouldn't use a negative lookahead.

  • * will match 0 or more spaces so it will match wordAwordB. You may want to consider + if you want at least one space.

  • (\s*) - the brackets indicate a capturing group. Are you capturing the whitespace to a group for a reason? If not you could just remove the brackets, i.e. just use \s.

Update based on comment

Hello the problem is not the expression but the HTML out put   that are not considered as whitespace. it's a Joomla website.

Preserving your original regex you can use:

wordA((?:\s|&nbsp;)*)wordB(?!(?:\s|&nbsp;)wordc)

The only difference is that not the regex matches whitespace OR &nbsp;. I replaced wordc with \swordc since that is more explicit. Note as I have already pointed out that the negative lookahead ?! will not match when wordB is followed by a single whitespace and wordc. If you want to match multiple whitespaces then see my comments above. I also preserved the capture group around the whitespace, if you don't want this then remove the brackets as already described above.

Example matches:

.jar error - could not find or load main class

I Faced the same issue while installing a setup using a jar file. Solution thta worked for me is

  1. open command prompt as administrator
  2. Go to jdk bin directory (Ex.C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73\bin)
  3. now execute java -jar <<jar fully qualified path>>

It worked for me :)

creating batch script to unzip a file without additional zip tools

Here's my overview about built-in zi/unzip (compress/decompress) capabilities in windows - How can I compress (/ zip ) and uncompress (/ unzip ) files and folders with batch file without using any external tools?

To unzip file you can use this script :

zipjs.bat unzip -source C:\myDir\myZip.zip -destination C:\MyDir -keep yes -force no

Swipe to Delete and the "More" button (like in Mail app on iOS 7)

Swift 4 & iOs 11+

@available(iOS 11.0, *)

    let delete = UIContextualAction(style: .destructive, title: "Delete") { _, _, handler in

        handler(true)
        // handle deletion here
    }

    let more = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "More") { _, _, handler in

        handler(true)
        // handle more here
    }

    return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [delete, more])

How to define the basic HTTP authentication using cURL correctly?

curl -u username:password http://
curl -u username http://

From the documentation page:

-u, --user <user:password>

Specify the user name and password to use for server authentication. Overrides -n, --netrc and --netrc-optional.

If you simply specify the user name, curl will prompt for a password.

The user name and passwords are split up on the first colon, which makes it impossible to use a colon in the user name with this option. The password can, still.

When using Kerberos V5 with a Windows based server you should include the Windows domain name in the user name, in order for the server to succesfully obtain a Kerberos Ticket. If you don't then the initial authentication handshake may fail.

When using NTLM, the user name can be specified simply as the user name, without the domain, if there is a single domain and forest in your setup for example.

To specify the domain name use either Down-Level Logon Name or UPN (User Principal Name) formats. For example, EXAMPLE\user and [email protected] respectively.

If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and perform Kerberos V5, Negotiate, NTLM or Digest authentication then you can tell curl to select the user name and password from your environment by specifying a single colon with this option: "-u :".

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-u

Note that you do not need --basic flag as it is the default.

How to fetch data from local JSON file on react native?

Use this

import data from './customData.json';

Error pushing to GitHub - insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database

Check the repository: $ git remote -v

origin  ssh://[email protected]:2283/srv/git/repo.git (fetch)
origin  ssh://[email protected]:2283/srv/git/repo.git (push)

Note that there is a 'git@' substring here, it instructs git to authenticate as username 'git' on the remote server. If you omit this line, git will authenticate under different username, hence this error will occur.

how to increase java heap memory permanently?

Please note that increasing the Java heap size following an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space is quite often just a short term solution.

This means that even if you increase the default Java heap size from 512 MB to let's say 2048 MB, you may still get this error at some point if you are dealing with a memory leak. The main question to ask is why are you getting this OOM error at the first place? Is it really a Xmx value too low or just a symptom of another problem?

When developing a Java application, it is always crucial to understand its static and dynamic memory footprint requirement early on, this will help prevent complex OOM problems later on. Proper sizing of JVM Xms & Xmx settings can be achieved via proper application profiling and load testing.

Assignment inside lambda expression in Python

UPDATE:

[o for d in [{}] for o in lst if o.name != "" or d.setdefault("", o) == o]

or using filter and lambda:

flag = {}
filter(lambda o: bool(o.name) or flag.setdefault("", o) == o, lst)

Previous Answer

OK, are you stuck on using filter and lambda?

It seems like this would be better served with a dictionary comprehension,

{o.name : o for o in input}.values()

I think the reason that Python doesn't allow assignment in a lambda is similar to why it doesn't allow assignment in a comprehension and that's got something to do with the fact that these things are evaluated on the C side and thus can give us an increase in speed. At least that's my impression after reading one of Guido's essays.

My guess is this would also go against the philosophy of having one right way of doing any one thing in Python.

Set session variable in laravel

In Laravel 5.6, you will need to set it as

  session(['variableName'=>$value]);

To retrieve it is as simple as

$variableName = session('variableName')

C# Creating and using Functions

You should either make your Add function static like so:

static public int Add(int x, int y)
{ 
    int result = x + y;
    return result;
 } //END   Add

static means that the function is not class instance dependent. So you can call it without needing to create a class instance of Program class.

or you should create in instance of your Program class, and then call Add on this instance. Like so:

Program prog = new Program();
prog.Add(5,10);

How to write a confusion matrix in Python?

Scikit-Learn provides a confusion_matrix function

from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
y_actu = [2, 0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2]
y_pred = [0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 2]
confusion_matrix(y_actu, y_pred)

which output a Numpy array

array([[3, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 2],
       [2, 1, 3]])

But you can also create a confusion matrix using Pandas:

import pandas as pd
y_actu = pd.Series([2, 0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2], name='Actual')
y_pred = pd.Series([0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 2], name='Predicted')
df_confusion = pd.crosstab(y_actu, y_pred)

You will get a (nicely labeled) Pandas DataFrame:

Predicted  0  1  2
Actual
0          3  0  0
1          0  1  2
2          2  1  3

If you add margins=True like

df_confusion = pd.crosstab(y_actu, y_pred, rownames=['Actual'], colnames=['Predicted'], margins=True)

you will get also sum for each row and column:

Predicted  0  1  2  All
Actual
0          3  0  0    3
1          0  1  2    3
2          2  1  3    6
All        5  2  5   12

You can also get a normalized confusion matrix using:

df_conf_norm = df_confusion / df_confusion.sum(axis=1)

Predicted         0         1         2
Actual
0          1.000000  0.000000  0.000000
1          0.000000  0.333333  0.333333
2          0.666667  0.333333  0.500000

You can plot this confusion_matrix using

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def plot_confusion_matrix(df_confusion, title='Confusion matrix', cmap=plt.cm.gray_r):
    plt.matshow(df_confusion, cmap=cmap) # imshow
    #plt.title(title)
    plt.colorbar()
    tick_marks = np.arange(len(df_confusion.columns))
    plt.xticks(tick_marks, df_confusion.columns, rotation=45)
    plt.yticks(tick_marks, df_confusion.index)
    #plt.tight_layout()
    plt.ylabel(df_confusion.index.name)
    plt.xlabel(df_confusion.columns.name)

plot_confusion_matrix(df_confusion)

plot confusion matrix

Or plot normalized confusion matrix using:

plot_confusion_matrix(df_conf_norm)  

plot confusion matrix normalized

Create a new RGB OpenCV image using Python?

The new cv2 interface for Python integrates numpy arrays into the OpenCV framework, which makes operations much simpler as they are represented with simple multidimensional arrays. For example, your question would be answered with:

import cv2  # Not actually necessary if you just want to create an image.
import numpy as np
blank_image = np.zeros((height,width,3), np.uint8)

This initialises an RGB-image that is just black. Now, for example, if you wanted to set the left half of the image to blue and the right half to green , you could do so easily:

blank_image[:,0:width//2] = (255,0,0)      # (B, G, R)
blank_image[:,width//2:width] = (0,255,0)

If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble in future, as well as having to ask questions such as this one, I would strongly recommend using the cv2 interface rather than the older cv one. I made the change recently and have never looked back. You can read more about cv2 at the OpenCV Change Logs.

new Date() is working in Chrome but not Firefox

This should work for you:

var date1 = new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds);

I had to create date form a string so I have done it like this:

var d = '2013-07-20 16:57:27';
var date1 = new Date(d.substr(0, 4), d.substr(5, 2), d.substr(8, 2), d.substr(11, 2), d.substr(14, 2), d.substr(17, 2));

Remember that the months in javascript are from 0 to 11, so you should reduce the month value by 1, like this:

var d = '2013-07-20 16:57:27';
var date1 = new Date(d.substr(0, 4), d.substr(5, 2) - 1, d.substr(8, 2), d.substr(11, 2), d.substr(14, 2), d.substr(17, 2));

require_once :failed to open stream: no such file or directory

The error pretty much explains what the problem is: you are trying to include a file that is not there.

Try to use the full path to the file, using realpath(), and use dirname(__FILE__) to get your current directory:

require_once(realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../includes/dbconn.inc'));

Installing tensorflow with anaconda in windows

I was able to install tensorflow on windows following the instructions on tensorflow.org, using the conda method of installation, as given here: https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup#anaconda_installation. There are small differences on how to activate an 'environment' on windows, you call 'activate' directly without the 'source'. So, for me after installing anaconda the steps where:

C:\Users\Dunschm>conda create -n tensorflow python=3.5
C:\Users\Dunschm>activate tensorflow
(tensorflow) C:\Users\Dunschm>conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

Makefile to compile multiple C programs?

############################################################################
# 'A Generic Makefile for Building Multiple main() Targets in $PWD'
# Author:  Robert A. Nader (2012)
# Email: naderra at some g
# Web: xiberix
############################################################################
#  The purpose of this makefile is to compile to executable all C source
#  files in CWD, where each .c file has a main() function, and each object
#  links with a common LDFLAG.
#
#  This makefile should suffice for simple projects that require building
#  similar executable targets.  For example, if your CWD build requires
#  exclusively this pattern:
#
#  cc -c $(CFLAGS) main_01.c
#  cc main_01.o $(LDFLAGS) -o main_01
#
#  cc -c $(CFLAGS) main_2..c
#  cc main_02.o $(LDFLAGS) -o main_02
#
#  etc, ... a common case when compiling the programs of some chapter,
#  then you may be interested in using this makefile.
#
#  What YOU do:
#
#  Set PRG_SUFFIX_FLAG below to either 0 or 1 to enable or disable
#  the generation of a .exe suffix on executables
#
#  Set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS according to your needs.
#
#  What this makefile does automagically:
#
#  Sets SRC to a list of *.c files in PWD using wildcard.
#  Sets PRGS BINS and OBJS using pattern substitution.
#  Compiles each individual .c to .o object file.
#  Links each individual .o to its corresponding executable.
#
