How to open a web server port on EC2 instance

You need to open TCP port 8787 in the ec2 Security Group. Also need to open the same port on the EC2 instance's firewall.

How to get a cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) post request working

I had the exact same issue where jquery ajax only gave me cors issues on post requests where get requests worked fine - I tired everything above with no results. I had the correct headers in my server etc. Changing over to use XMLHTTPRequest instead of jquery fixed my issue immediately. No matter which version of jquery I used it didn't fix it. Fetch also works without issues if you don't need backward browser compatibility.

        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
        xhr.open('POST', 'https://mywebsite.com', true)
        xhr.withCredentials = true
        xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
          if (xhr.readyState === 2) {// do something}
        }
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
        xhr.send(json)

Hopefully this helps anyone else with the same issues.

How to POST JSON data with Python Requests?

It turns out I was missing the header information. The following works:

url = "http://localhost:8080"
data = {'sender': 'Alice', 'receiver': 'Bob', 'message': 'We did it!'}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'text/plain'}
r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)

How do I show the schema of a table in a MySQL database?

describe [db_name.]table_name;

for formatted output, or

show create table [db_name.]table_name;

for the SQL statement that can be used to create a table.

How to find the files that are created in the last hour in unix

sudo find / -Bmin 60

From the man page:

-Bmin n

True if the difference between the time of a file's inode creation and the time find was started, rounded up to the next full minute, is n minutes.

Obviously, you may want to set up a bit differently, but this primary seems the best solution for searching for any file created in the last N minutes.

Make Https call using HttpClient

Simply specify HTTPS in the URI.

new Uri("https://foobar.com/");

Foobar.com will need to have a trusted SSL cert or your calls will fail with untrusted error.

EDIT Answer: ClientCertificates with HttpClient

WebRequestHandler handler = new WebRequestHandler();
X509Certificate2 certificate = GetMyX509Certificate();
handler.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);

EDIT Answer2: If the server you are connecting to has disabled SSL, TLS 1.0, and 1.1 and you are still running .NET framework 4.5(or below) you need to make a choice

Upgrade to .Net 4.6+ (Supports TLS 1.2 by default)
Add registry changes to instruct 4.5 to connect over TLS1.2 ( See: salesforce writeup for compat and keys to change OR checkout IISCrypto see Ronald Ramos answer comments)
Add application code to manually configure .NET to connect over TLS1.2 (see Ronald Ramos answer)

How to decode JWT Token?

I found the solution, I just forgot to Cast the result:

var stream ="[encoded jwt]";  
var handler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
var jsonToken = handler.ReadToken(stream);
var tokenS = handler.ReadToken(stream) as JwtSecurityToken;

I can get Claims using:

var jti = tokenS.Claims.First(claim => claim.Type == "jti").Value;

How to compare two lists in python?

a = ['a1','b2','c3']
b = ['a1','b2','c3']
c = ['b2','a1','c3']

# if you care about order
a == b # True
a == c # False

# if you don't care about order AND duplicates
set(a) == set(b) # True
set(a) == set(c) # True

By casting a, b and c as a set, you remove duplicates and order doesn't count. Comparing sets is also much faster and more efficient than comparing lists.

Bootstrap NavBar with left, center or right aligned items

This is a dated question but I found an alternate solution to share right from the bootstrap github page. The documentation has not been updated and there are other questions on SO asking for the same solution albeit on slightly different questions. This solution is not specific to your case but as you can see the solution is the <div class="container"> right after <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top"> but can also be replaced with <div class="container-fluid" as needed.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>Navbar right padding broken </title>

  <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">

          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>
        <a href="#/" class="navbar-brand">Hello</a>
      </div>
      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">

        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
          <li>
            <div class="btn-group navbar-btn" role="group" aria-label="...">
              <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modalLogin">Se connecter</button>
              <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modalSignin">Créer un compte</button>
            </div>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  </nav>

The solution was found on a fiddle on this page: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/18362

and is listed as a won't fix in V3.

Consider defining a bean of type 'package' in your configuration [Spring-Boot]

Adding Spring Boot Data JPA Starter dependency solved the issue for me.

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-data-jpa', version: '2.2.6.RELEASE'

Right way to write JSON deserializer in Spring or extend it

I've searched a lot and the best way I've found so far is on this article:

Class to serialize

package net.sghill.example;

import net.sghill.example.UserDeserializer
import net.sghill.example.UserSerializer
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate.JsonDeserialize;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate.JsonSerialize;

@JsonDeserialize(using = UserDeserializer.class)
public class User {
    private ObjectId id;
    private String   username;
    private String   password;

    public User(ObjectId id, String username, String password) {
        this.id = id;
        this.username = username;
        this.password = password;
    }

    public ObjectId getId()       { return id; }
    public String   getUsername() { return username; }
    public String   getPassword() { return password; }
}

Deserializer class

package net.sghill.example;

import net.sghill.example.User;
import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonNode;
import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParser;
import org.codehaus.jackson.ObjectCodec;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.DeserializationContext;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonDeserializer;

import java.io.IOException;

public class UserDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<User> {

    @Override
    public User deserialize(JsonParser jsonParser, DeserializationContext deserializationContext) throws IOException {
        ObjectCodec oc = jsonParser.getCodec();
        JsonNode node = oc.readTree(jsonParser);
        return new User(null, node.get("username").getTextValue(), node.get("password").getTextValue());
    }
}

Edit: Alternatively you can look at this article which uses new versions of com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer.

How do I limit the number of results returned from grep?

Awk approach:

awk '/pattern/{print; count++; if (count==10) exit}' file

"Unable to locate tools.jar" when running ant

Try to check it once more according to this tutorial: http://vietpad.sourceforge.net/javaonwindows.html
Try to reboot your system.
If nothing, try to run "cmd" and type there "java", does it print anything?

Setting up Gradle for api 26 (Android)

Have you added the google maven endpoint?

Important: The support libraries are now available through Google's Maven repository. You do not need to download the support repository from the SDK Manager. For more information, see Support Library Setup.

Add the endpoint to your build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
}

Which can be replaced by the shortcut google() since Android Gradle v3:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

If you already have any maven url inside repositories, you can add the reference after them, i.e.:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://jitpack.io'
        }
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
}

How can I detect if a selector returns null?

I like to use presence, inspired from Ruby on Rails:

$.fn.presence = function () {
    return this.length !== 0 && this;
}

Your example becomes:

alert($('#notAnElement').presence() || "No object found");

I find it superior to the proposed $.fn.exists because you can still use boolean operators or if, but the truthy result is more useful. Another example:

$ul = $elem.find('ul').presence() || $('<ul class="foo">').appendTo($elem)
$ul.append('...')

Permission denied on CopyFile in VBS

I have read your problem, And i had the same problem. But af ter i changed some, my problem "Permission Denied" is solved.

Private Sub Addi_Click()
'On Error Resume Next
'call ds
browsers ("false")
Call makeAdir
ffgg = "C:\Users\Backups\user\" & User & "1\data\"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fs.Getfolder("c:\users\Backups\user\" & User & "1\data")
    f.Attributes = 0
Set fso = VBA.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Call fso.Copyfile(filetarget, ffgg, True)

Look at ffgg = "C:\Users\Backups\user\" & User & "1\data\", Before I changed it was ffgg = "C:\Users\Backups\user\" & User & "1\data" When i add backslash after "\data\", my problem is solved. Try to add back slash. Maybe solved your problem. Good luck.

UL list style not applying

All you have to do is add this class to your css.

.ul-no-style { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; }

Including the padding and margin set at 0.

Error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

In my case I imported pyxlsd module before module wich works with db Mysql. After I did put Mysql module first(upper in code) it became to work like a clock. Think there was some namespace issue.

HTTP GET request in JavaScript?

One solution supporting older browsers:

function httpRequest() {
    var ajax = null,
        response = null,
        self = this;

    this.method = null;
    this.url = null;
    this.async = true;
    this.data = null;

    this.send = function() {
        ajax.open(this.method, this.url, this.asnyc);
        ajax.send(this.data);
    };

    if(window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
        try {
            ajax = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0");
        }
        catch(e) {
            try {
                ajax = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
            }
            catch(error) {
                self.fail("not supported");
            }
        }
    }

    if(ajax == null) {
        return false;
    }

    ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if(this.readyState == 4) {
            if(this.status == 200) {
                self.success(this.responseText);
            }
            else {
                self.fail(this.status + " - " + this.statusText);
            }
        }
    };
}

Maybe somewhat overkill but you definitely go safe with this code.

Usage:

//create request with its porperties
var request = new httpRequest();
request.method = "GET";
request.url = "https://example.com/api?parameter=value";

//create callback for success containing the response
request.success = function(response) {
    console.log(response);
};

//and a fail callback containing the error
request.fail = function(error) {
    console.log(error);
};

//and finally send it away
request.send();

Convert js Array() to JSon object for use with JQuery .ajax

There is actuly a difference between array object and JSON object. Instead of creating array object and converting it into a json object(with JSON.stringify(arr)) you can do this:

var sels = //Here is your array of SELECTs
var json = { };

for(var i = 0, l = sels.length; i < l; i++) {
  json[sels[i].id] = sels[i].value;
}

There is no need of converting it into JSON because its already a json object. To view the same use json.toSource();

C++11 thread-safe queue

You may like lfqueue, https://github.com/Taymindis/lfqueue. It’s lock free concurrent queue. I’m currently using it to consuming the queue from multiple incoming calls and works like a charm.

Preventing iframe caching in browser

I also had this problem in 2016 with iOS Safari. What seemed to work for me was giving a GET-parameter to the iframe src and a value for it like this

<iframe width="60%" src="../other/url?cachebust=1" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Min and max value of input in angular4 application

I succeeded by using a form control. This is my html code :

<md-input-container>
    <input type="number" min="0" max="100" required mdInput placeholder="Charge" [(ngModel)]="rateInput" name="rateInput" [formControl]="rateControl">
    <md-error>Please enter a value between 0 and 100</md-error>
</md-input-container>

And in my Typescript code, I have :

this.rateControl = new FormControl("", [Validators.max(100), Validators.min(0)])

So, if we enter a value higher than 100 or smaller than 0, the material design input become red and the field is not validate. So after, if the value is not good, I don't save when I click on the save button.

How to read and write xml files?

Here is a quick DOM example that shows how to read and write a simple xml file with its dtd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE roles SYSTEM "roles.dtd">
<roles>
    <role1>User</role1>
    <role2>Author</role2>
    <role3>Admin</role3>
    <role4/>
</roles>

and the dtd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ELEMENT roles (role1,role2,role3,role4)>
<!ELEMENT role1 (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT role2 (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT role3 (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT role4 (#PCDATA)>

First import these:

import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;

Here are a few variables you will need:

private String role1 = null;
private String role2 = null;
private String role3 = null;
private String role4 = null;
private ArrayList<String> rolev;

Here is a reader (String xml is the name of your xml file):

public boolean readXML(String xml) {
        rolev = new ArrayList<String>();
        Document dom;
        // Make an  instance of the DocumentBuilderFactory
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            // use the factory to take an instance of the document builder
            DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
            // parse using the builder to get the DOM mapping of the    
            // XML file
            dom = db.parse(xml);

            Element doc = dom.getDocumentElement();

            role1 = getTextValue(role1, doc, "role1");
            if (role1 != null) {
                if (!role1.isEmpty())
                    rolev.add(role1);
            }
            role2 = getTextValue(role2, doc, "role2");
            if (role2 != null) {
                if (!role2.isEmpty())
                    rolev.add(role2);
            }
            role3 = getTextValue(role3, doc, "role3");
            if (role3 != null) {
                if (!role3.isEmpty())
                    rolev.add(role3);
            }
            role4 = getTextValue(role4, doc, "role4");
            if ( role4 != null) {
                if (!role4.isEmpty())
                    rolev.add(role4);
            }
            return true;

        } catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
            System.out.println(pce.getMessage());
        } catch (SAXException se) {
            System.out.println(se.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
        }

        return false;
    }

And here a writer:

public void saveToXML(String xml) {
    Document dom;
    Element e = null;

    // instance of a DocumentBuilderFactory
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    try {
        // use factory to get an instance of document builder
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        // create instance of DOM
        dom = db.newDocument();

        // create the root element
        Element rootEle = dom.createElement("roles");

        // create data elements and place them under root
        e = dom.createElement("role1");
        e.appendChild(dom.createTextNode(role1));
        rootEle.appendChild(e);

        e = dom.createElement("role2");
        e.appendChild(dom.createTextNode(role2));
        rootEle.appendChild(e);

        e = dom.createElement("role3");
        e.appendChild(dom.createTextNode(role3));
        rootEle.appendChild(e);

        e = dom.createElement("role4");
        e.appendChild(dom.createTextNode(role4));
        rootEle.appendChild(e);

        dom.appendChild(rootEle);

        try {
            Transformer tr = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
            tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
            tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
            tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, "roles.dtd");
            tr.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");

            // send DOM to file
            tr.transform(new DOMSource(dom), 
                                 new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(xml)));

        } catch (TransformerException te) {
            System.out.println(te.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
        }
    } catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
        System.out.println("UsersXML: Error trying to instantiate DocumentBuilder " + pce);
    }
}

getTextValue is here:

private String getTextValue(String def, Element doc, String tag) {
    String value = def;
    NodeList nl;
    nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(tag);
    if (nl.getLength() > 0 && nl.item(0).hasChildNodes()) {
        value = nl.item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
    }
    return value;
}

Add a few accessors and mutators and you are done!

Django URLs TypeError: view must be a callable or a list/tuple in the case of include()

This error just means that myapp.views.home is not something that can be called, like a function. It is a string in fact. While your solution works in django 1.9, nevertheless it throws a warning saying this will deprecate from version 1.10 onwards, which is exactly what has happened. The previous solution by @Alasdair imports the necessary view functions into the script through either from myapp import views as myapp_views or from myapp.views import home, contact

Set height of chart in Chart.js

I created a container and set it the desired height of the view port (depending on the number of charts or chart specific sizes):

.graph-container {
width: 100%;
height: 30vh;
}

To be dynamic to screen sizes I set the container as follows:

*Small media devices specific styles*/
@media screen and (max-width: 800px) {
.graph-container {
        display: block;
        float: none;
        width: 100%;
        margin-top: 0px;
        margin-right:0px;
        margin-left:0px;
        height: auto;
    }
}

Of course very important (as have been referred to numerous times) set the following option properties of your chart:

options:{
    maintainAspectRatio: false,
    responsive: true,
}

Best Practice: Software Versioning

I basically follow this pattern:

start from 0.1.0
when it's ready I branch the code in the source repo, tag 0.1.0 and create the 0.1.0 branch, the head/trunk becomes 0.2.0-snapshot or something similar
I add new features only to the trunk, but backport fixes to the branch and in time I release from it 0.1.1, 0.1.2, ...
I declare version 1.0.0 when the product is considered feature complete and doesn't have major shortcomings
from then on - everyone can decide when to increment the major version...

How to align a <div> to the middle (horizontally/width) of the page

Get the width of the screen.
Then make margin left 25%
Make margin right 25%

In this way the content of your container will sit in the middle.

Example: suppose that container width = 800px;

<div class='container' width='device-width' id='updatedContent'>
    <p id='myContent'></p>
    <contents></contents>
    <contents></contents>
</div>

if ($("#myContent").parent === $("updatedContent"))
{
    $("#myContent").css({
        'left': '-(device-width/0.25)px';
        'right': '-(device-width/0.225)px';
    });
}

Adding days to $Date in PHP

How can I solve the error 'TS2532: Object is possibly 'undefined'?

For others facing a similar problem to mine, where you know a particular object property cannot be null, you can use the non-null assertion operator (!) after the item in question. This was my code:

  const naciStatus = dataToSend.naci?.statusNACI;
  if (typeof naciStatus != "undefined") {
    switch (naciStatus) {
      case "AP":
        dataToSend.naci.certificateStatus = "FALSE";
        break;

      case "WR":

        break;
      default:
        dataToSend.naci.certificateStatus = "";
    }
  }

And because dataToSend.naci cannot be undefined in the switch statement, the code can be updated to include exclamation marks as follows:

  const naciStatus = dataToSend.naci?.statusNACI;
  if (typeof naciStatus != "undefined") {
    switch (naciStatus) {
      case "AP":
        dataToSend.naci!.certificateStatus = "FALSE";
        break;
      case "AS":
      case "WR":
        dataToSend.naci!.certificateStatus = "TRUE";
        break;
      default:
        dataToSend.naci!.certificateStatus = "";
    }
  }

Android: how to handle button click

My sample, Tested in Android studio 2.1

Define button in xml layout

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Java pulsation detect

Button clickButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn1);
if (clickButton != null) {
    clickButton.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

How can I check out a GitHub pull request with git?

If you're following the "github fork" workflow, where you create a fork and add the remote upstream repo:

14:47 $ git remote -v
origin  [email protected]:<yourname>/<repo_name>.git (fetch)
origin  [email protected]:<yourname>/<repo_name>.git (push)
upstream        [email protected]:<repo_owrer>/<repo_name>.git (fetch)
upstream        [email protected]:<repo_owner>/<repo_name>.git (push)

to pull into your current branch your command would look like:

git pull upstream pull/<pull_request_number>/head

to pull into a new branch the code would look like:

git fetch upstream pull/<pull_request_number>/head:newbranch

jQuery UI themes and HTML tables

Why noy just use the theme styles in the table? i.e.

<table>
  <thead class="ui-widget-header">
    <tr>
      <th>Id</th>
      <th>Description</th>
    </td>
  </thead>
  <tbody class="ui-widget-content">
    <tr>
      <td>...</td>
      <td>...</td>
    </tr>
      .
      .
      .
  </tbody>
</table>

And you don't need to use any code...

How do I force Kubernetes to re-pull an image?

Kubernetes will pull upon Pod creation if either (see updating-images doc):

Using images tagged :latest
imagePullPolicy: Always is specified

This is great if you want to always pull. But what if you want to do it on demand: For example, if you want to use some-public-image:latest but only want to pull a newer version manually when you ask for it. You can currently:

Set imagePullPolicy to IfNotPresent or Never and pre-pull: Pull manually images on each cluster node so the latest is cached, then do a kubectl rolling-update or similar to restart Pods (ugly easily broken hack!)
Temporarily change imagePullPolicy, do a kubectl apply, restart the pod (e.g. kubectl rolling-update), revert imagePullPolicy, redo a kubectl apply (ugly!)
Pull and push some-public-image:latest to your private repository and do a kubectl rolling-update (heavy!)

No good solution for on-demand pull. If that changes, please comment; I'll update this answer.

default web page width - 1024px or 980px?

even there is no right or wrong answer for this question , but I personally prefer 960px width . since all modern monitors support at least 1024 × 768 pixel resolution. 960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with.

Jquery function return value

I'm not entirely sure of the general purpose of the function, but you could always do this:

function getMachine(color, qty) {
    var retval;
    $("#getMachine li").each(function() {
        var thisArray = $(this).text().split("~");
        if(thisArray[0] == color&& qty>= parseInt(thisArray[1]) && qty<= parseInt(thisArray[2])) {
            retval = thisArray[3];
            return false;
        }
    });
    return retval;
}

var retval = getMachine(color, qty);

In angular $http service, How can I catch the "status" of error?

Your arguments are incorrect, error doesn't return an object containing status and message, it passed them as separate parameters in the order described below.

Taken from the angular docs:

data – {string|Object} – The response body transformed with the transform functions.
status – {number} – HTTP status code of the response.
headers – {function([headerName])} – Header getter function.
config – {Object} – The configuration object that was used to generate the request.
statusText – {string} – HTTP status text of the response.

So you'd need to change your code to:

$http.get(dataUrl)
    .success(function (data){
        $scope.data.products = data;
    })
    .error(function (error, status){
        $scope.data.error = { message: error, status: status};
        console.log($scope.data.error.status); 
  });

Obviously, you don't have to create an object representing the error, you could just create separate scope properties but the same principle applies.

Current time in microseconds in java

a "quick and dirty" solution that I eventually went with:

TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMicros(System.nanoTime());

UPDATE:

I originally went with System.nanoTime but then I found out it should only be used for elapsed time, I eventually changed my code to work with milliseconds or at some places use:

TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMicros(System.currentTimeMillis());

but this will just add zeros at the end of the value (micros = millis * 1000)

Left this answer here as a "warning sign" in case someone else thinks of nanoTime :)

What is a practical, real world example of the Linked List?

I remember, many years ago, in one of my first college classes, wondering where I would ever , ever use a linked list. Today, I don't think there is a single project I work on where I haven't used one, and in many places. It's an incredibly fundamental data structure, and believe me, it's used heavily in the real world.

For example:

A list of images that need to be burned to a CD in a medical imaging application
A list of users of a website that need to be emailed some notification
A list of objects in a 3D game that need to be rendered to the screen

It may seem slightly useless to you now, but a few years from now, ask yourself the same question, you'll find yourself surprised that you ever wondered where it would be used.

Edit: I noticed in one of your comments you asked about why the pointer matters. Someone rightly answered that the pointer doesn't really matter to a user of a linked list. A user just wants a list that contains a, well, list of things. How that list "contains" that list of things doesn't really matter to the user. The pointer is part of that "how". Imagine a line, drawn on the floor, that leads to a teller. People need to be standing on that line to be able to get to the teller. That line is a (and I admit, this is a bit of a stretch) analogy for the pointer a linked list uses. The first person, at the teller, on the line, is the head of the list. The person directly behind them on the line is the next in the list. And finally, the last person in the line, on the line, is the tail of the list.

How to Check whether Session is Expired or not in asp.net

Edit

You can use the IsNewSession property to check if the session was created on the request of the page

protected void Page_Load() 
{ 
   if (Context.Session != null) 
   { 
      if (Session.IsNewSession) 
      { 
         string cookieHeader = Request.Headers["Cookie"]; 
         if ((null != cookieHeader) && (cookieHeader.IndexOf("ASP.NET_SessionId") >= 0)) 
         { 
            Response.Redirect("sessionTimeout.htm"); 
         } 
      } 
   } 
}

Store Userid in session variable when user logs into website and check on your master page or created base page form which other page gets inherits. Then in page load check that Userid is present and not if not then redirect to login page.

if(Session["Userid"]==null)
{
  //session expire redirect to login page 
}

How to use document.getElementByName and getElementByTag?

The getElementsByName() method accesses all elements with the specified name. this method returns collection of elements that is an array.
The getElementsByTagName() method accesses all elements with the specified tagname. this method returns collection of elements that is an array.
Accesses the first element with the specified id. this method returns only a single element.

eg:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function getElements() {
        var x=document.getElementById("y");
        alert(x.value);
    }
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <input name="x" id="y" type="text" size="20" /><br />

This will return a single HTML element and display the value attribute of it.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function getElements() {
        var x=document.getElementsByName("x");
        alert(x.length);
    }
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <input name="x" id="y" type="text" size="20" /><br />
    <input name="x" id="y" type="text" size="20" /><br />

this will return an array of HTML elements and number of elements that match the name attribute.

How to make a vertical SeekBar in Android?

I tried in many different ways, but the one which worked for me was. Use Seekbar inside FrameLayout

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/VolumeLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_above="@id/MuteButton"
    android:layout_below="@id/volumeText"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true">
        <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/volume"
        android:layout_width="500dp"
        android:layout_height="60dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:progress="50"
        android:secondaryProgress="40"
        android:progressDrawable="@drawable/seekbar_volume"
        android:secondaryProgressTint="@color/tint_neutral"
        android:thumbTint="@color/tint_neutral"
    />

And in Code.

Setup Pre Draw callback on Seekbar, Where you can change the Width and height of the Seekbar I did this part in c#, so Code i used was

            var volumeSlider = view.FindViewById<SeekBar>(Resource.Id.home_link_volume);

            var volumeFrameLayout = view.FindViewById<FrameLayout>(Resource.Id.linkVolumeFrameLayout);

            void OnPreDrawVolume(object sender, ViewTreeObserver.PreDrawEventArgs e)
            {
                volumeSlider.ViewTreeObserver.PreDraw -= OnPreDrawVolume;
                var h = volumeFrameLayout.Height;
                volumeSlider.Rotation = 270.0f;
                volumeSlider.LayoutParameters.Width = h;
                volumeSlider.RequestLayout();
            }

            volumeSlider.ViewTreeObserver.PreDraw += OnPreDrawVolume;

Here i Add listener to PreDraw Event and when its triggered, I remove the PreDraw so that it doesnt go into Infinite loop.

So when Pre Draw gets executed, I fetch the Height of FrameLayout and assign it to Seekbar. And set the rotation of seekbar to 270. As my seekbar is inside frame Layout and its Gravity is set as Center. I dont need to worry about the Translation. As Seekbar always stay in middle of Frame Layout.

Reason i remove EventHandler is because seekbar.RequestLayout(); Will make this event to be executed again.

How to get single value from this multi-dimensional PHP array

You can also use array_column(). It's available from PHP 5.5: php.net/manual/en/function.array-column.php

It returns the values from a single column of the array, identified by the column_key. Optionally, you may provide an index_key to index the values in the returned array by the values from the index_key column in the input array.

print_r(array_column($myarray, 'email'));

Converting serial port data to TCP/IP in a Linux environment

You might find Perl or Python useful to get data from the serial port. To send data to the server, the solution could be easy if the server is (let's say) an HTTP application or even a popular database. The solution would be not so easy if it is some custom/proprietary TCP application.

The difference between the Runnable and Callable interfaces in Java

Purpose of these interfaces from oracle documentation :

Runnable interface should be implemented by any class whose instances are intended to be executed by a Thread. The class must define a method of no arguments called run.

Callable: A task that returns a result and may throw an exception. Implementors define a single method with no arguments called call. The Callable interface is similar to Runnable, in that both are designed for classes whose instances are potentially executed by another thread. A Runnable, however, does not return a result and cannot throw a checked exception.

Other differences:

You can pass Runnable to create a Thread. But you can't create new Thread by passing Callable as parameter. You can pass Callable only to ExecutorService instances.

Example:

public class HelloRunnable implements Runnable {

    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Hello from a thread!");
    }   

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        (new Thread(new HelloRunnable())).start();
    }

}

Use Runnable for fire and forget calls. Use Callable to verify the result.
Callable can be passed to invokeAll method unlike Runnable. Methods invokeAny and invokeAll perform the most commonly useful forms of bulk execution, executing a collection of tasks and then waiting for at least one, or all, to complete
Trivial difference : method name to be implemented => run() for Runnable and call() for Callable.

Web Reference vs. Service Reference

Adding a service reference allows you to create a WCF client, which can be used to talk to a regular web service provided you use the appropriate binding. Adding a web reference will allow you to create only a web service (i.e., SOAP) reference.

If you are absolutely certain you are not ready for WCF (really don't know why) then you should create a regular web service reference.

Get JSON Data from URL Using Android?

If you get the server response as a String, without using a third party library you can do

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(response);
JSONObject jsonResponse = json.getJSONObject("response");
String team = jsonResponse.getString("Team");

Here is the documentation

Otherwise to parse json you can use Gson or Jackson

What's the difference between an id and a class?

Class is for applying your style to a group of elements. ID styles apply to just the element with that ID (there should only be one). Usually you use classes, but if there's a one-off you can use IDs (or just stick the style straight into the element).

When is null or undefined used in JavaScript?

~~I might be missing something, but afaik, you get undefined only~~

Update: Ok, I missed a lot, trying to complete:

You get undefined...

... when you try to access properties of an object that don't exist:

var a = {}
a.foo // undefined

... when you have declared a variable but not initialized it:

var a;
// a is undefined

... when you access a parameter for which no value was passed:

function foo (a, b) {
    // something
}

foo(42); // b inside foo is undefined

... when a function does not return a value:

function foo() {};
var a = foo(); // a is undefined

It might be that some built-in functions return null on some error, but if so, then it is documented. null is a concrete value in JavaScript, undefined is not.

Normally you don't need to distinguish between those. Depending on the possible values of a variable, it is sufficient to use if(variable) to test whether a value is set or not (both, null and undefined evaluate to false).

Also different browsers seem to be returning these differently.

Please give a concrete example.

Floating Div Over An Image

you might consider using the Relative and Absolute positining.

`.container {  
position: relative;  
}  
.tag {     
position: absolute;

I have tested it there, also if you want it to change its position use this as its margin:

top: 20px; left: 10px;

It will place it 20 pixels from top and 10 pixels from left; but leave this one if not necessary.

To perform an AJAX request (for easiness we can use jQuery library).

Step1.

Include jQuery library in your web page

a. you can download jQuery library from jquery.com and keep it locally.

b. or simply paste the following code,

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Step 2.

Call a javascript function on button click

<button type="button" onclick="foo()">Click Me</button>

Step 3.

and finally the function

 function foo () {
      $.ajax({
        url:"test.php", //the page containing php script
        type: "POST", //request type
        success:function(result){
         alert(result);
       }
     });
 }

it will make an AJAX request to test.php when ever you clicks the button and alert the response.

For example your code in test.php is,

<?php echo 'hello'; ?>

then it will alert "hello" when ever you clicks the button.

c# foreach (property in object)... Is there a simple way of doing this?

Give this a try:

foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
{
   // do stuff here
}

Also please note that Type.GetProperties() has an overload which accepts a set of binding flags so you can filter out properties on a different criteria like accessibility level, see MSDN for more details: Type.GetProperties Method (BindingFlags) Last but not least don't forget to add the "system.Reflection" assembly reference.

For instance to resolve all public properties:

foreach (var propertyInfo in obj.GetType()
                                .GetProperties(
                                        BindingFlags.Public 
                                        | BindingFlags.Instance))
{
   // do stuff here
}

Please let me know whether this works as expected.

Programmatically change input type of the EditText from PASSWORD to NORMAL & vice versa

Ok So after hours of trying finally implemented it. Below is the code ..

  buttons.get(2).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
       if(buttons.get(2).getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(getResources().getString(R.string.show))){
           editTexts.get(1).setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
           editTexts.get(1).setSelection(editTexts.get(1).getText().length());
           buttons.get(2).setText(getResources().getString(R.string.hide));
        }else{
           editTexts.get(1).setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT|InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
           //editTexts.get(1).setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());
           editTexts.get(1).setSelection(editTexts.get(1).getText().length());
           buttons.get(2).setText(getResources().getString(R.string.show));
       }

    }
});

Explanations:- I have a button with default text as show. After onclick event on it checking if button's text is show. If it is show then changing the input type,adjusting the cursor position and setting new text as hide in it.

When it is hide... doing reverse i.e. hiding the password,adjusting the cursor and setting the text as show. And that's it. It is working like a charm.

Excel plot time series frequency with continuous xaxis

You can get good Time Series graphs in Excel, the way you want, but you have to work with a few quirks.

Be sure to select "Scatter Graph" (with a line option). This is needed if you have non-uniform time stamps, and will scale the X-axis accordingly.
In your data, you need to add a column with the mid-point. Here's what I did with your sample data. (This trick ensures that the data gets plotted at the mid-point, like you desire.)
You can format the x-axis options with this menu. (Chart->Design->Layout)
Select "Axes" and go to Primary Horizontal Axis, and then select "More Primary Horizontal Axis Options"
Set up the options you wish. (Fix the starting and ending points.)
And you will get a graph such as the one below.

You can then tweak many of the options, label the axes better etc, but this should get you started.

Hope this helps you move forward.

Why ModelState.IsValid always return false in mvc

As Brad Wilson states in his answer here:

ModelState.IsValid tells you if any model errors have been added to ModelState.

The default model binder will add some errors for basic type conversion issues (for example, passing a non-number for something which is an "int"). You can populate ModelState more fully based on whatever validation system you're using.

Try using :-

if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
    var errors = ModelState.SelectMany(x => x.Value.Errors.Select(z => z.Exception));

    // Breakpoint, Log or examine the list with Exceptions.
}

If it helps catching you the error. Courtesy this and this

Typescript: How to define type for a function callback (as any function type, not universal any) used in a method parameter

I've just started using Typescript and I've been trying to solve a similar problem like this; how to tell the Typescript that I'm passing a callback without an interface.

After browsing a few answers on Stack Overflow and GitHub issues, I finally found a solution that may help anyone with the same problem.

A function's type can be defined with (arg0: type0) => returnType and we can use this type definition in another function's parameter list.

function runCallback(callback: (sum: number) => void, a: number, b: number): void {
    callback(a + b);
}

// Another way of writing the function would be:
// let logSum: (sum: number) => void = function(sum: number): void {
//     console.log(sum);
// };
function logSum(sum: number): void {
    console.log(`The sum is ${sum}.`);
}

runCallback(logSum, 2, 2);

Javascript Regular Expression Remove Spaces

str.replace(/\s/g,'')

Works for me.

jQuery.trim has the following hack for IE, although I'm not sure what versions it affects:

// Check if a string has a non-whitespace character in it
rnotwhite = /\S/

// IE doesn't match non-breaking spaces with \s
if ( rnotwhite.test( "\xA0" ) ) {
    trimLeft = /^[\s\xA0]+/;
    trimRight = /[\s\xA0]+$/;
}

Register comdlg32.dll gets Regsvr32: DllRegisterServer entry point was not found

SOLUTION OF Regsvr32: DllRegisterServer entry point was not found,

Go to systemdrive(generally c:)\system32 and search file "Regsvr32.exe"
Right click and click in properties and go to security tab and click in advanced button.
Click in owner tab and click edit and select administrators and click ok.
Click in permissions
Click in change permissions.
Choose administrators and click edit and put tick on full control and click ok.
Similarly, choose SYSTEM and edit and put tick on full control and click ok and click in other dialog box which are opened.
Now .dll files can be registered and error don't come, you should re-install any software whose dll files was not registered during installation.

How can I split a shell command over multiple lines when using an IF statement?

For Windows/WSL/Cygwin etc users:

Make sure that your line endings are standard Unix line feeds, i.e. \n (LF) only.

Using Windows line endings \r\n (CRLF) line endings will break the command line break.

This is because having \ at the end of a line with Windows line ending translates to \ \r \n.
As Mark correctly explains above:

The line-continuation will fail if you have whitespace after the backslash and before the newline.

This includes not just space () or tabs (\t) but also the carriage return (\r).

Subset a dataframe by multiple factor levels

Here's another:

data[data$Code == "A" | data$Code == "B", ]

It's also worth mentioning that the subsetting factor doesn't have to be part of the data frame if it matches the data frame rows in length and order. In this case we made our data frame from this factor anyway. So,

data[Code == "A" | Code == "B", ]

also works, which is one of the really useful things about R.

How do I output text without a newline in PowerShell?

desired o/p: Enabling feature XYZ......Done

you can use below command

$a = "Enabling feature XYZ"

Write-output "$a......Done"

you have to add variable and statement inside quotes. hope this is helpful :)

Checking if a collection is null or empty in Groovy

FYI this kind of code works (you can find it ugly, it is your right :) ) :

def list = null
list.each { println it }
soSomething()

In other words, this code has null/empty checks both useless:

if (members && !members.empty) {
    members.each { doAnotherThing it }
}

def doAnotherThing(def member) {
  // Some work
}

How to include Javascript file in Asp.Net page

I assume that you are using MasterPage so within your master page you should have

<head runat="server">
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>

And within any of your pages based on that MasterPage add this

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
    <script src="js/yourscript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</asp:Content>

Validate decimal numbers in JavaScript - IsNumeric()

One can use a type-check library like https://github.com/arasatasaygin/is.js or just extract a check snippet from there (https://github.com/arasatasaygin/is.js/blob/master/is.js#L131):

is.nan = function(value) {    // NaN is number :) 
  return value !== value;
};
 // is a given value number?
is.number = function(value) {
    return !is.nan(value) && Object.prototype.toString.call(value) === '[object Number]';
};

In general if you need it to validate parameter types (on entry point of function call), you can go with JSDOC-compliant contracts (https://www.npmjs.com/package/bycontract):

/**
 * This is JSDOC syntax
 * @param {number|string} sum
 * @param {Object.<string, string>} payload
 * @param {function} cb
 */
function foo( sum, payload, cb ) {
  // Test if the contract is respected at entry point
  byContract( arguments, [ "number|string", "Object.<string, string>", "function" ] );
}
// Test it
foo( 100, { foo: "foo" }, function(){}); // ok
foo( 100, { foo: 100 }, function(){}); // exception

Call a python function from jinja2

from jinja2 import Template

def custom_function(a):
    return a.replace('o', 'ay')

template = Template('Hey, my name is {{ custom_function(first_name) }} {{ func2(last_name) }}')
template.globals['custom_function'] = custom_function

You can also give the function in the fields as per Matroskin's answer

fields = {'first_name': 'Jo', 'last_name': 'Ko', 'func2': custom_function}
print template.render(**fields)

Will output:

Hey, my name is Jay Kay

Works with Jinja2 version 2.7.3

And if you want a decorator to ease defining functions on template.globals check out Bruno Bronosky's answer

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

Try:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("a").click(function(event) {
       alert(event.target.id+" and "+$(event.target).attr('class'));
    });
});

Why does Math.Round(2.5) return 2 instead of 3?

Simple way is:

Math.Ceiling(decimal.Parse(yourNumber + ""));

slashes in url variables

You need to escape those but don't just replace it by %2F manually. You can use URLEncoder for this.

Eg URLEncoder.encode(url, "UTF-8")

Then you can say

yourUrl = "www.musicExplained/index.cfm/artist/" + URLEncoder.encode(VariableName, "UTF-8")

How to pass form input value to php function

This is pretty basic, just put in the php file you want to use for processing in the element.

For example

<form action="process.php" method="post">

Then in process.php you would get the form values using $_POST['name of the variable]

Casting int to bool in C/C++

There some kind of old school 'Marxismic' way to the cast int -> bool without C4800 warnings of Microsoft's cl compiler - is to use negation of negation.

int  i  = 0;
bool bi = !!i;

int  j  = 1;
bool bj = !!j;

How to capture UIView to UIImage without loss of quality on retina display

Drop-in Swift 3.0 extension that supports the new iOS 10.0 API & the previous method.

Note:

iOS version check
Note the use of defer to simplify the context cleanup.
Will also apply the opacity & current scale of the view.
Nothing is just unwrapped using ! which could cause a crash.

extension UIView
{
    public func renderToImage(afterScreenUpdates: Bool = false) -> UIImage?
    {
        if #available(iOS 10.0, *)
        {
            let rendererFormat = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat.default()
            rendererFormat.scale = self.layer.contentsScale
            rendererFormat.opaque = self.isOpaque
            let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: self.bounds.size, format: rendererFormat)

            return
                renderer.image
                {
                    _ in

                    self.drawHierarchy(in: self.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: afterScreenUpdates)
                }
        }
        else
        {
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.bounds.size, self.isOpaque, self.layer.contentsScale)
            defer
            {
                UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
            }

            self.drawHierarchy(in: self.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: afterScreenUpdates)

            return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        }
    }
}

Must declare the scalar variable

Declare @v1 varchar(max), @v2 varchar(200);

Declare @sql nvarchar(max);

Set @sql = N'SELECT @v1 = value1, @v2 = value2
FROM dbo.TblTest -- always use schema
WHERE ID = 61;';

EXEC sp_executesql @sql,
  N'@v1 varchar(max) output, @v2 varchar(200) output',
  @v1 output, @v2 output;

You should also pass your input, like wherever 61 comes from, as proper parameters (but you won't be able to pass table and column names that way).

Angular2 - Http POST request parameters

If anyone is struggling with angular version 4+ (mine was 4.3.6). This was the sample code which worked for me.

First add the required imports

import { Http, Headers, Response, URLSearchParams } from '@angular/http';

Then for the api function. It's a login sample which can be changed as per your needs.

login(username: string, password: string) {
    var headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    let urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams();
    urlSearchParams.append('email', username);
    urlSearchParams.append('password', password);
    let body = urlSearchParams.toString()

    return this.http.post('http://localhost:3000/api/v1/login', body, {headers: headers})
        .map((response: Response) => {
            // login successful if user.status = success in the response
            let user = response.json();
            console.log(user.status)
            if (user && "success" == user.status) {
                // store user details and jwt token in local storage to keep user logged in between page refreshes
                localStorage.setItem('currentUser', JSON.stringify(user.data));
            }
        });
}

Magento: get a static block as html in a phtml file

What's the shebang/hashbang (#!) in Facebook and new Twitter URLs for?

The octothorpe/number-sign/hashmark has a special significance in an URL, it normally identifies the name of a section of a document. The precise term is that the text following the hash is the anchor portion of an URL. If you use Wikipedia, you will see that most pages have a table of contents and you can jump to sections within the document with an anchor, such as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing#Early_computers_and_the_Turing_test

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing identifies the page and Early_computers_and_the_Turing_test is the anchor. The reason that Facebook and other Javascript-driven applications (like my own Wood & Stones) use anchors is that they want to make pages bookmarkable (as suggested by a comment on that answer) or support the back button without reloading the entire page from the server.

In order to support bookmarking and the back button, you need to change the URL. However, if you change the page portion (with something like window.location = 'http://raganwald.com';) to a different URL or without specifying an anchor, the browser will load the entire page from the URL. Try this in Firebug or Safari's Javascript console. Load http://minimal-github.gilesb.com/raganwald. Now in the Javascript console, type:

window.location = 'http://minimal-github.gilesb.com/raganwald';

You will see the page refresh from the server. Now type:

window.location = 'http://minimal-github.gilesb.com/raganwald#try_this';

Aha! No page refresh! Type:

window.location = 'http://minimal-github.gilesb.com/raganwald#and_this';

Still no refresh. Use the back button to see that these URLs are in the browser history. The browser notices that we are on the same page but just changing the anchor, so it doesn't reload. Thanks to this behaviour, we can have a single Javascript application that appears to the browser to be on one 'page' but to have many bookmarkable sections that respect the back button. The application must change the anchor when a user enters different 'states', and likewise if a user uses the back button or a bookmark or a link to load the application with an anchor included, the application must restore the appropriate state.

So there you have it: Anchors provide Javascript programmers with a mechanism for making bookmarkable, indexable, and back-button-friendly applications. This technique has a name: It is a Single Page Interface.

p.s. There is a fourth benefit to this technique: Loading page content through AJAX and then injecting it into the current DOM can be much faster than loading a new page. In addition to the speed increase, further tricks like loading certain portions in the background can be performed under the programmer's control.

p.p.s. Given all of that, the 'bang' or exclamation mark is a further hint to Google's web crawler that the exact same page can be loaded from the server at a slightly different URL. See Ajax Crawling. Another technique is to make each link point to a server-accessible URL and then use unobtrusive Javascript to change it into an SPI with an anchor.

Here's the key link again: The Single Page Interface Manifesto

Is it safe to shallow clone with --depth 1, create commits, and pull updates again?

See some of the answers to my similar question why-cant-i-push-from-a-shallow-clone and the link to the recent thread on the git list.

Ultimately, the 'depth' measurement isn't consistent between repos, because they measure from their individual HEADs, rather than (a) your Head, or (b) the commit(s) you cloned/fetched, or (c) something else you had in mind.

The hard bit is getting one's Use Case right (i.e. self-consistent), so that distributed, and therefore probably divergent repos will still work happily together.

It does look like the checkout --orphan is the right 'set-up' stage, but still lacks clean (i.e. a simple understandable one line command) guidance on the "clone" step. Rather it looks like you have to init a repo, set up a remote tracking branch (you do want the one branch only?), and then fetch that single branch, which feels long winded with more opportunity for mistakes.

Edit: For the 'clone' step see this answer

How to coerce a list object to type 'double'

If your list as multiple elements that need to be converted to numeric, you can achieve this with lapply(a, as.numeric).

usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l<nameOfTheLibrary>

During compilation with g++ via make define LIBRARY_PATH if it may not be appropriate to change the Makefile with the -Loption. I had put my extra library in /opt/lib so I did:

$ export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib/

and then ran make for successful compilation and linking.

To run the program with a shared library define:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib/

before executing the program.

printf() prints whole array

But still, the memory address for each letter in this address is different.

Memory address is different but as its array of characters they are sequential. When you pass address of first element and use %s, printf will print all characters starting from given address until it finds '\0'.

test attribute in JSTL <c:if> tag

Attributes in JSP tag libraries in general can be either static or resolved at request time. If they are resolved at request time the JSP will resolve their value at runtime and pass the output on to the tag. This means you can put pretty much any JSP code into the attribute and the tag will behave accordingly to what output that produces.

If you look at the jstl taglib docs you can see which attributes are reuest time and which are not. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/index.html

WPF: Create a dialog / prompt

The "responsible" answer would be for me to suggest building a ViewModel for the dialog and use two-way databinding on the TextBox so that the ViewModel had some "ResponseText" property or what not. This is easy enough to do but probably overkill.

The pragmatic answer would be to just give your text box an x:Name so that it becomes a member and expose the text as a property in your code behind class like so:

<!-- Incredibly simplified XAML -->
<Window x:Class="MyDialog">
   <StackPanel>
       <TextBlock Text="Enter some text" />
       <TextBox x:Name="ResponseTextBox" />
       <Button Content="OK" Click="OKButton_Click" />
   </StackPanel>
</Window>

Then in your code behind...

partial class MyDialog : Window {

    public MyDialog() {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public string ResponseText {
        get { return ResponseTextBox.Text; }
        set { ResponseTextBox.Text = value; }
    }

    private void OKButton_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        DialogResult = true;
    }
}

Then to use it...

var dialog = new MyDialog();
if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true) {
    MessageBox.Show("You said: " + dialog.ResponseText);
}

Pygame mouse clicking detection

I assume your game has a main loop, and all your sprites are in a list called sprites.

In your main loop, get all events, and check for the MOUSEBUTTONDOWN or MOUSEBUTTONUP event.

while ... # your main loop
  # get all events
  ev = pygame.event.get()

  # proceed events
  for event in ev:

    # handle MOUSEBUTTONUP
    if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
      pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()

      # get a list of all sprites that are under the mouse cursor
      clicked_sprites = [s for s in sprites if s.rect.collidepoint(pos)]
      # do something with the clicked sprites...

So basically you have to check for a click on a sprite yourself every iteration of the mainloop. You'll want to use mouse.get_pos() and rect.collidepoint().

Pygame does not offer event driven programming, as e.g. cocos2d does.

Another way would be to check the position of the mouse cursor and the state of the pressed buttons, but this approach has some issues.

if pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and mysprite.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()):
  print ("You have opened a chest!")

You'll have to introduce some kind of flag if you handled this case, since otherwise this code will print "You have opened a chest!" every iteration of the main loop.

handled = False

while ... // your loop

  if pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and mysprite.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()) and not handled:
    print ("You have opened a chest!")
    handled = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0]

Of course you can subclass Sprite and add a method called is_clicked like this:

class MySprite(Sprite):
  ...

  def is_clicked(self):
    return pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and self.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos())

So, it's better to use the first approach IMHO.

How to format a float in javascript?

/** don't spend 5 minutes, use my code **/
function prettyFloat(x,nbDec) { 
    if (!nbDec) nbDec = 100;
    var a = Math.abs(x);
    var e = Math.floor(a);
    var d = Math.round((a-e)*nbDec); if (d == nbDec) { d=0; e++; }
    var signStr = (x<0) ? "-" : " ";
    var decStr = d.toString(); var tmp = 10; while(tmp<nbDec && d*tmp < nbDec) {decStr = "0"+decStr; tmp*=10;}
    var eStr = e.toString();
    return signStr+eStr+"."+decStr;
}

prettyFloat(0);      //  "0.00"
prettyFloat(-1);     // "-1.00"
prettyFloat(-0.999); // "-1.00"
prettyFloat(0.5);    //  "0.50"

Is true == 1 and false == 0 in JavaScript?

with == you are essentially comparing whether a variable is falsey when comparing to false or truthey when comparing to true. If you use ===, it will compare the exact value of the variables so true will not === 1

How do I clear this setInterval inside a function?

the_int=window.clearInterval(the_int);

fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

You repository is bare, i.e. it does not have a working tree attached to it. You can clone it locally to create a working tree for it, or you could use one of several other options to tell Git where the working tree is, e.g. the --work-tree option for single commands, or the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable. There is also the core.worktree configuration option but it will not work in a bare repository (check the man page for what it does).

# create a combined(stdin and stdout) collector
exec 3 <> combined.log

# stream stderr instead of stdout to tee, while draining all stdout to the collector
./aaa.sh 2>&1 1>&3 | tee -a stderr.log 1>&3

# cleanup collector
exec 3>&-

The real trick here, is the sequence of the 2>&1 1>&3 which in our case redirects the stderr to stdout and redirects the stdout to descriptor 3. At this point the stderr and stdout are not combined yet.

In effect, the stderr(as stdin) is passed to tee where it logs to stderr.log and also redirects to descriptor 3.

And descriptor 3 is logging it to combined.log all the time. So the combined.log contains both stdout and stderr.

Automatic date update in a cell when another cell's value changes (as calculated by a formula)

You could fill the dependend cell (D2) by a User Defined Function (VBA Macro Function) that takes the value of the C2-Cell as input parameter, returning the current date as ouput.

Having C2 as input parameter for the UDF in D2 tells Excel that it needs to reevaluate D2 everytime C2 changes (that is if auto-calculation of formulas is turned on for the workbook).

EDIT:

Here is some code:

For the UDF:

    Public Function UDF_Date(ByVal data) As Date

        UDF_Date = Now()

    End Function

As Formula in D2:

=UDF_Date(C2)

You will have to give the D2-Cell a Date-Time Format, or it will show a numeric representation of the date-value.

And you can expand the formula over the desired range by draging it if you keep the C2 reference in the D2-formula relative.

Note: This still might not be the ideal solution because every time Excel recalculates the workbook the date in D2 will be reset to the current value. To make D2 only reflect the last time C2 was changed there would have to be some kind of tracking of the past value(s) of C2. This could for example be implemented in the UDF by providing also the address alonside the value of the input parameter, storing the input parameters in a hidden sheet, and comparing them with the previous values everytime the UDF gets called.

Addendum:

Here is a sample implementation of an UDF that tracks the changes of the cell values and returns the date-time when the last changes was detected. When using it, please be aware that:

The usage of the UDF is the same as described above.
The UDF works only for single cell input ranges.
The cell values are tracked by storing the last value of cell and the date-time when the change was detected in the document properties of the workbook. If the formula is used over large datasets the size of the file might increase considerably as for every cell that is tracked by the formula the storage requirements increase (last value of cell + date of last change.) Also, maybe Excel is not capable of handling very large amounts of document properties and the code might brake at a certain point.
If the name of a worksheet is changed all the tracking information of the therein contained cells is lost.
The code might brake for cell-values for which conversion to string is non-deterministic.

The code below is not tested and should be regarded only as proof of concept. Use it at your own risk.

Public Function UDF_Date(ByVal inData As Range) As Date

    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim dProps As DocumentProperties
    Dim pValue As DocumentProperty
    Dim pDate As DocumentProperty
    Dim sName As String
    Dim sNameDate As String

    Dim bDate As Boolean
    Dim bValue As Boolean
    Dim bChanged As Boolean

    bDate = True
    bValue = True

    bChanged = False


    Dim sVal As String
    Dim dDate As Date

    sName = inData.Address & "_" & inData.Worksheet.Name
    sNameDate = sName & "_dat"

    sVal = CStr(inData.Value)
    dDate = Now()

    Set wb = inData.Worksheet.Parent

    Set dProps = wb.CustomDocumentProperties

On Error Resume Next

    Set pValue = dProps.Item(sName)

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        bValue = False
        Err.Clear
    End If

On Error GoTo 0

    If Not bValue Then
        bChanged = True
        Set pValue = dProps.Add(sName, False, msoPropertyTypeString, sVal)
    Else
        bChanged = pValue.Value <> sVal
        If bChanged Then
            pValue.Value = sVal
        End If
    End If

On Error Resume Next

    Set pDate = dProps.Item(sNameDate)

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        bDate = False
        Err.Clear
    End If

On Error GoTo 0

    If Not bDate Then
        Set pDate = dProps.Add(sNameDate, False, msoPropertyTypeDate, dDate)
    End If

    If bChanged Then
        pDate.Value = dDate
    Else
        dDate = pDate.Value
    End If


    UDF_Date = dDate
 End Function

Make the insertion of the date conditional upon the range.

This has an advantage of not changing the dates unless the content of the cell is changed, and it is in the range C2:C2, even if the sheet is closed and saved, it doesn't recalculate unless the adjacent cell changes.

The server principal is not able to access the database under the current security context in SQL Server MS 2012

SQL Logins are defined at the server level, and must be mapped to Users in specific databases.

In SSMS object explorer, under the server you want to modify, expand Security > Logins, then double-click the appropriate user which will bring up the "Login Properties" dialog.

Select User Mapping, which will show all databases on the server, with the ones having an existing mapping selected. From here you can select additional databases (and be sure to select which roles in each database that user should belong to), then click OK to add the mappings.

These mappings can become disconnected after a restore or similar operation. In this case, the user may still exist in the database but is not actually mapped to a login. If that happens, you can run the following to restore the login:

USE {database};
ALTER USER {user} WITH login = {login}

You can also delete the DB user and recreate it from the Login Properties dialog, but any role memberships or other settings would need to be recreated.

How can I get a List from some class properties with Java 8 Stream?

You can use map :

List<String> names = 
    personList.stream()
              .map(Person::getName)
              .collect(Collectors.toList());

EDIT :

In order to combine the Lists of friend names, you need to use flatMap :

List<String> friendNames = 
    personList.stream()
              .flatMap(e->e.getFriends().stream())
              .collect(Collectors.toList());

Lotus Notes email as an attachment to another email

If you are using Lotus Notes V9.X, it is better to drag the mail to desktop as .eml and then attach it to the mail. Safest way so far.

Overflow Scroll css is not working in the div

I edited your: Fiddle

html, body{ margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; height:100% }
.header { margin: 0 auto; width:500px; height:30px; background-color:#dadada;}
.wrapper{ margin: 0 auto; width:500px; overflow:scroll; height: 100%;}

Giving the html-tag a 100% height is the solution. I also deleted the container div. You don't need it when your layout stays like this.

In HTML I can make a checkmark with ✓ . Is there a corresponding X-mark?

Personally, I like to use named entities when they are available, because they make my HTML more readable. Because of that, I like to use &check; for ✓ and &cross; for ✗. If you're not sure whether a named entity exists for the character you want, try the &what search site. It includes the name for each entity, if there is one.

As mentioned in the comments, &check; and &cross; are not supported in HTML4, so you may be better off using the more cryptic ✓ and ✗ if you want to target the most browsers. The most definitive references I could find were on the W3C site: HTML4 and HTML5.

Are complex expressions possible in ng-hide / ng-show?

I generally try to avoid expressions with ng-show and ng-hide as they were designed as booleans, not conditionals. If I need both conditional and boolean logic, I prefer to put in the conditional logic using ng-if as the first check, then add in an additional check for the boolean logic with ng-show and ng-hide

Howerver, if you want to use a conditional for ng-show or ng-hide, here is a link with some examples: Conditional Display using ng-if, ng-show, ng-hide, ng-include, ng-switch

How to get the number of characters in a string

You can try RuneCountInString from the utf8 package.

returns the number of runes in p

that, as illustrated in this script: the length of "World" might be 6 (when written in Chinese: "??"), but its rune count is 2:

package main
    
import "fmt"
import "unicode/utf8"
    
func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, ??", len("??"), utf8.RuneCountInString("??"))
}

Phrozen adds in the comments:

Actually you can do len() over runes by just type casting.
len([]rune("??")) will print 2. At leats in Go 1.3.

And with CL 108985 (May 2018, for Go 1.11), len([]rune(string)) is now optimized. (Fixes issue 24923)

The compiler detects len([]rune(string)) pattern automatically, and replaces it with for r := range s call.

Adds a new runtime function to count runes in a string. Modifies the compiler to detect the pattern len([]rune(string)) and replaces it with the new rune counting runtime function.
RuneCount/lenruneslice/ASCII        27.8ns ± 2%  14.5ns ± 3%  -47.70%
RuneCount/lenruneslice/Japanese     126ns ± 2%   60  ns ± 2%  -52.03%
RuneCount/lenruneslice/MixedLength  104ns ± 2%   50  ns ± 1%  -51.71%

Stefan Steiger points to the blog post "Text normalization in Go"

What is a character?

As was mentioned in the strings blog post, characters can span multiple runes.
For example, an 'e' and '?´?´' (acute "\u0301") can combine to form 'é' ("e\u0301" in NFD). Together these two runes are one character.

The definition of a character may vary depending on the application.
For normalization we will define it as:

a sequence of runes that starts with a starter,

a rune that does not modify or combine backwards with any other rune,

followed by possibly empty sequence of non-starters, that is, runes that do (typically accents).

The normalization algorithm processes one character at at time.

Using that package and its Iter type, the actual number of "character" would be:

package main
    
import "fmt"
import "golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm"
    
func main() {
    var ia norm.Iter
    ia.InitString(norm.NFKD, "école")
    nc := 0
    for !ia.Done() {
        nc = nc + 1
        ia.Next()
    }
    fmt.Printf("Number of chars: %d\n", nc)
}

Here, this uses the Unicode Normalization form NFKD "Compatibility Decomposition"

Oliver's answer points to UNICODE TEXT SEGMENTATION as the only way to reliably determining default boundaries between certain significant text elements: user-perceived characters, words, and sentences.

For that, you need an external library like rivo/uniseg, which does Unicode Text Segmentation.

That will actually count "grapheme cluster", where multiple code points may be combined into one user-perceived character.

package uniseg
    
import (
    "fmt"
    
    "github.com/rivo/uniseg"
)
    
func main() {
    gr := uniseg.NewGraphemes("!")
    for gr.Next() {
        fmt.Printf("%x ", gr.Runes())
    }
    // Output: [1f44d 1f3fc] [21]
}

Two graphemes, even though there are three runes (Unicode code points).

You can see other examples in "How to manipulate strings in GO to reverse them?"

? alone is one grapheme, but, from unicode to code points converter, 4 runes:

How do I check if an object has a key in JavaScript?

Try the JavaScript in operator.

if ('key' in myObj)

And the inverse.

if (!('key' in myObj))

Be careful! The in operator matches all object keys, including those in the object's prototype chain.

Use myObj.hasOwnProperty('key') to check an object's own keys and will only return true if key is available on myObj directly:

myObj.hasOwnProperty('key')

Unless you have a specific reason to use the in operator, using myObj.hasOwnProperty('key') produces the result most code is looking for.

How do I convert an object to an array?

I ran into an issue with Andy Earnshaw's answer because I had factored this function out to a separate class within my application, "HelperFunctions", which meant the recursive call to objectToArray() failed.

I overcame this by specifying the class name within the array_map call like so:

public function objectToArray($object) {
    if (!is_object($object) && !is_array($object))
        return $object;
    return array_map(array("HelperFunctions", "objectToArray"), (array) $object);
}

I would have written this in the comments but I don't have enough reputation yet.

Checking for directory and file write permissions in .NET

Since the static method 'GetAccessControl' seems to be missing from the present version of .Net core/Standard I had to modify @Bryce Wagner's answer (I went ahead and used more modern syntax):

public static class PermissionHelper
{
  public static bool? CurrentUserHasWritePermission(string filePath)

     => new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent())
        .SelectWritePermissions(filePath)
        .FirstOrDefault();


  private static IEnumerable<bool?> SelectWritePermissions(this WindowsPrincipal user, string filePath)
     => from rule in filePath
                    .GetFileSystemSecurity()
                    .GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(NTAccount))
                    .Cast<FileSystemAccessRule>()
        let right = user.HasRightSafe(rule)
        where right.HasValue
        // Deny takes precedence over allow
        orderby right.Value == false descending
        select right;


  private static bool? HasRightSafe(this WindowsPrincipal user, FileSystemAccessRule rule)
  {
     try
     {
        return user.HasRight(rule);
     }
     catch
     {
        return null;
     }
  }

  private static bool? HasRight(this WindowsPrincipal user,FileSystemAccessRule rule )
     => rule switch
     {
        { FileSystemRights: FileSystemRights fileSystemRights } when (fileSystemRights &
                                                                      (FileSystemRights.WriteData | FileSystemRights.Write)) == 0 => null,
        { IdentityReference: { Value: string value } } when value.StartsWith("S-1-") &&
                                                            !user.IsInRole(new SecurityIdentifier(rule.IdentityReference.Value)) => null,
        { IdentityReference: { Value: string value } } when value.StartsWith("S-1-") == false &&

What is a monad?

Monads Are Not Metaphors, but a practically useful abstraction emerging from a common pattern, as Daniel Spiewak explains.

nodemon not working: -bash: nodemon: command not found

Put --exec arg in single quotation.

e.g. I changed "nodemon --exec yarn build-langs" to "nodemon --exec 'yarn build-langs'" and worked.

Could you explain STA and MTA?

The COM threading model is called an "apartment" model, where the execution context of initialized COM objects is associated with either a single thread (Single Thread Apartment) or many threads (Multi Thread Apartment). In this model, a COM object, once initialized in an apartment, is part of that apartment for the duration of its runtime.

The STA model is used for COM objects that are not thread safe. That means they do not handle their own synchronization. A common use of this is a UI component. So if another thread needs to interact with the object (such as pushing a button in a form) then the message is marshalled onto the STA thread. The windows forms message pumping system is an example of this.

If the COM object can handle its own synchronization then the MTA model can be used where multiple threads are allowed to interact with the object without marshalled calls.

How do I write a Python dictionary to a csv file?

Your code was very close to working.

Try using a regular csv.writer rather than a DictWriter. The latter is mainly used for writing a list of dictionaries.

Here's some code that writes each key/value pair on a separate row:

import csv

somedict = dict(raymond='red', rachel='blue', matthew='green')
with open('mycsvfile.csv','wb') as f:
    w = csv.writer(f)
    w.writerows(somedict.items())

If instead you want all the keys on one row and all the values on the next, that is also easy:

with open('mycsvfile.csv','wb') as f:
    w = csv.writer(f)
    w.writerow(somedict.keys())
    w.writerow(somedict.values())

Pro tip: When developing code like this, set the writer to w = csv.writer(sys.stderr) so you can more easily see what is being generated. When the logic is perfected, switch back to w = csv.writer(f).

Email & Phone Validation in Swift

File-New-File.Make a Swift class named AppExtension.Add the following.

        extension UIViewController{
            func validateEmailAndGetBoolValue(candidate: String) -> Bool {
                let emailRegex = "[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,6}"
                return NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegex).evaluateWithObject(candidate)
            }
        }

        Use: 
        var emailValidator:Bool?
        self.emailValidator =  self.validateEmailAndGetBoolValue(resetEmail!)
                        print("emailValidator : "+String(self.emailValidator?.boolValue))

        Use a loop to alternate desired results.


    OR
        extension String
        {
        //Validate Email
            var isEmail: Bool {
                do {
                    let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: "^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$", options: .CaseInsensitive)
                    return regex.firstMatchInString(self, options: NSMatchingOptions(rawValue: 0), range: NSMakeRange(0, self.characters.count)) != nil
                } catch {
                    return false
                }

            }
        }

        Use:
        if(resetEmail!.isEmail)
                        {
                        AppController().requestResetPassword(resetEmail!)
                        self.view.makeToast(message: "Sending OTP")
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            self.view.makeToast(message: "Please enter a valid email")

SQL Server: how to create a stored procedure

I think it can help you:

CREATE PROCEDURE DEPT_COUNT

    -- Remember parameters begin with "@"
)
AS -- You miss this word in your example
BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(*) 
    INTO #D_COUNT -- Into a Temp Table (prefix "#")
    FROM INSTRUCTOR
    WHERE INSTRUCTOR.DEPT_NAME = DEPT_COUNT.DEPT_NAME
END

Then, you can call the SP like this way, for example:

Correct way to write line to file?

This should be as simple as:

with open('somefile.txt', 'a') as the_file:
    the_file.write('Hello\n')

From The Documentation:

Do not use os.linesep as a line terminator when writing files opened in text mode (the default); use a single '\n' instead, on all platforms.

Some useful reading:

The with statement
open()
- 'a' is for append, or use
- 'w' to write with truncation
os (particularly os.linesep)

How to start mongodb shell?

Just right click on your terminal icon, and select open a new window. Now you'll have two terminal windows open. In the new window, type, mongo and hit enter. Boom, that'll work like it's supposed to.

Why does Google prepend while(1); to their JSON responses?

It prevents disclosure of the response through JSON hijacking.

In theory, the content of HTTP responses are protected by the Same Origin Policy: pages from one domain cannot get any pieces of information from pages on the other domain (unless explicitly allowed).

An attacker can request pages on other domains on your behalf, e.g. by using a <script src=...> or <img> tag, but it can't get any information about the result (headers, contents).

Thus, if you visit an attacker's page, it couldn't read your email from gmail.com.

Except that when using a script tag to request JSON content, the JSON is executed as JavaScript in an attacker's controlled environment. If the attacker can replace the Array or Object constructor or some other method used during object construction, anything in the JSON would pass through the attacker's code, and be disclosed.

Note that this happens at the time the JSON is executed as JavaScript, not at the time it's parsed.

There are multiple countermeasures:

Making sure the JSON never executes

By placing a while(1); statement before the JSON data, Google makes sure that the JSON data is never executed as JavaScript.

Only a legitimate page could actually get the whole content, strip the while(1);, and parse the remainder as JSON.

Things like for(;;); have been seen at Facebook for instance, with the same results.

Making sure the JSON is not valid JavaScript

Similarly, adding invalid tokens before the JSON, like &&&START&&&, makes sure that it is never executed.

Always return JSON with an Object on the outside

This is OWASP recommended way to protect from JSON hijacking and is the less intrusive one.

Similarly to the previous counter-measures, it makes sure that the JSON is never executed as JavaScript.

A valid JSON object, when not enclosed by anything, is not valid in JavaScript:

eval('{"foo":"bar"}')
// SyntaxError: Unexpected token :

This is however valid JSON:

JSON.parse('{"foo":"bar"}')
// Object {foo: "bar"}

So, making sure you always return an Object at the top level of the response makes sure that the JSON is not valid JavaScript, while still being valid JSON.

As noted by @hvd in the comments, the empty object {} is valid JavaScript, and knowing the object is empty may itself be valuable information.

Comparison of above methods

The OWASP way is less intrusive, as it needs no client library changes, and transfers valid JSON. It is unsure whether past or future browser bugs could defeat this, however. As noted by @oriadam, it is unclear whether data could be leaked in a parse error through an error handling or not (e.g. window.onerror).

Google's way requires a client library in order for it to support automatic de-serialization and can be considered to be safer with regard to browser bugs.

Both methods require server side changes in order to avoid developers accidentally sending vulnerable JSON.

Java synchronized block vs. Collections.synchronizedMap

There is the potential for a subtle bug in your code.

[UPDATE: Since he's using map.remove() this description isn't totally valid. I missed that fact the first time thru. :( Thanks to the question's author for pointing that out. I'm leaving the rest as is, but changed the lead statement to say there is potentially a bug.]

In doWork() you get the List value from the Map in a thread-safe way. Afterward, however, you are accessing that list in an unsafe matter. For instance, one thread may be using the list in doWork() while another thread invokes synchronizedMap.get(key).add(value) in addToMap(). Those two access are not synchronized. The rule of thumb is that a collection's thread-safe guarantees don't extend to the keys or values they store.

You could fix this by inserting a synchronized list into the map like

List<String> valuesList = new ArrayList<String>();
valuesList.add(value);
synchronizedMap.put(key, Collections.synchronizedList(valuesList)); // sync'd list

Alternatively you could synchronize on the map while you access the list in doWork():

  public void doWork(String key) {
    List<String> values = null;
    while ((values = synchronizedMap.remove(key)) != null) {
      synchronized (synchronizedMap) {
          //do something with values
      }
    }
  }

The last option will limit concurrency a bit, but is somewhat clearer IMO.

Also, a quick note about ConcurrentHashMap. This is a really useful class, but is not always an appropriate replacement for synchronized HashMaps. Quoting from its Javadocs,

This class is fully interoperable with Hashtable in programs that rely on its thread safety but not on its synchronization details.

In other words, putIfAbsent() is great for atomic inserts but does not guarantee other parts of the map won't change during that call; it guarantees only atomicity. In your sample program, you are relying on the synchronization details of (a synchronized) HashMap for things other than put()s.

Last thing. :) This great quote from Java Concurrency in Practice always helps me in designing an debugging multi-threaded programs.

For each mutable state variable that may be accessed by more than one thread, all accesses to that variable must be performed with the same lock held.

How to display all methods of an object?

I believe there's a simple historical reason why you can't enumerate over methods of built-in objects like Array for instance. Here's why:

Methods are properties of the prototype-object, say Object.prototype. That means that all Object-instances will inherit those methods. That's why you can use those methods on any object. Say .toString() for instance.

So IF methods were enumerable, and I would iterate over say {a:123} with: "for (key in {a:123}) {...}" what would happen? How many times would that loop be executed?

It would be iterated once for the single key 'a' in our example. BUT ALSO once for every enumerable property of Object.prototype. So if methods were enumerable (by default), then any loop over any object would loop over all its inherited methods as well.

Easiest way to split a string on newlines in .NET?

I'm currently using this function (based on other answers) in VB.NET:

Private Shared Function SplitLines(text As String) As String()
    Return text.Split({Environment.NewLine, vbCrLf, vbLf}, StringSplitOptions.None)
End Function

It tries to split on the platform-local newline first, and then falls back to each possible newline.

I've only needed this inside one class so far. If that changes, I will probably make this Public and move it to a utility class, and maybe even make it an extension method.

Here's how to join the lines back up, for good measure:

Private Shared Function JoinLines(lines As IEnumerable(Of String)) As String
    Return String.Join(Environment.NewLine, lines)
End Function

PHP function to make slug (URL string)

This may be a way to do it too. Inspired from these links Experts-exchange and alinalexander

   $replace = explode(",","c,ae,oe,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,y,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u");
   $txt = str_replace($search, $replace, $txt);

   /* Lowercase all the characters */
   $txt = strtolower($txt);

   /* Avoid whitespace at the beginning and the ending */
   $txt = trim($txt);

   /* Replace all the characters that are not in a-z or 0-9 by a hyphen */
   $txt = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9]/", "-", $txt);
   /* Remove hyphen anywhere it's more than one */
   $txt = preg_replace("/[\-]+/", '-', $txt);
   return $txt;   
}

HTML Button : Navigate to Other Page - Different Approaches

I use method 3 because it's the most understandable for others (whenever you see an <a> tag, you know it's a link) and when you are part of a team, you have to make simple things ;).

And finally I don't think it's useful and efficient to use JS simply to navigate to an other page.

WARNING: API 'variant.getJavaCompile()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getJavaCompileProvider()'

I face this issue after updating to 3.3.0

If you are not doing what error states in gradle file, it is some plugin that still didn't update to the newer API that cause this. To figure out which plugin is it do the following (as explained in "Better debug info when using obsolete API" of 3.3.0 announcement):

Add 'android.debug.obsoleteApi=true' to your gradle.properties file which will log error with a more details
Try again and read log details. There will be a trace of "problematic" plugin
When you identify, try to disable it and see if issue is gone, just to be sure
go to github page of plugin and create issue which will contain detailed log and clear description, so you help developers fix it for everyone faster
be patient while they fix it, or you fix it and create PR for devs

Hope it helps others

How to autosize and right-align GridViewColumn data in WPF?

I know that this is too late but here is my approach:

<GridViewColumn x:Name="GridHeaderLocalSize"  Width="100">      
<GridViewColumn.Header>
    <GridViewColumnHeader HorizontalContentAlignment="Right">
        <Grid Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="100"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Local size" TextAlignment="Right" Padding="0,0,5,0"/>
        </Grid>
    </GridViewColumnHeader>
</GridViewColumn.Header>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <TextBlock Width="{Binding ElementName=GridHeaderLocalSize, Path=Width, FallbackValue=100}"  HorizontalAlignment="Right" TextAlignment="Right" Padding="0,0,5,0" Text="Text" >
        </TextBlock>
    </DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

The main idea is to bind the width of the cellTemplete element to the width of the ViewGridColumn. Width=100 is default width used until first resize. There isn't any code behind. Everything is in xaml.

How to change TIMEZONE for a java.util.Calendar/Date

The class Date/Timestamp represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond precision, since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. So this time difference (from epoch to current time) will be same in all computers across the world with irrespective of Timezone.
Date/Timestamp doesn't know about the given time is on which timezone.
If we want the time based on timezone we should go for the Calendar or SimpleDateFormat classes in java.
If you try to print a Date/Timestamp object using toString(), it will convert and print the time with the default timezone of your machine.
So we can say (Date/Timestamp).getTime() object will always have UTC (time in milliseconds)
To conclude Date.getTime() will give UTC time, but toString() is on locale specific timezone, not UTC.

Now how will I create/change time on specified timezone?

The below code gives you a date (time in milliseconds) with specified timezones. The only problem here is you have to give date in string format.

   DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss");
   dateFormatLocal.setTimeZone(timeZone);
   java.util.Date parsedDate = dateFormatLocal.parse(date);

Use dateFormat.format for taking input Date (which is always UTC), timezone and return date as String.

How to store UTC/GMT time in DB:

If you print the parsedDate object, the time will be in default timezone. But you can store the UTC time in DB like below.

        Calendar calGMT = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
        Timestamp tsSchedStartTime = new Timestamp (parsedDate.getTime());
        if (tsSchedStartTime != null) {
            stmt.setTimestamp(11, tsSchedStartTime, calGMT );
        } else {
            stmt.setNull(11, java.sql.Types.DATE);
        }

Filter data.frame rows by a logical condition

No one seems to have included the which function. It can also prove useful for filtering.

expr[which(expr$cell == 'hesc'),]

This will also handle NAs and drop them from the resulting dataframe.

Running this on a 9840 by 24 dataframe 50000 times, it seems like the which method has a 60% faster run time than the %in% method.

Error: 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting! with dynamic sortby predicate

Aggregate multiple columns at once

We can use the formula method of aggregate. The variables on the 'rhs' of ~ are the grouping variables while the . represents all other variables in the 'df1' (from the example, we assume that we need the mean for all the columns except the grouping), specify the dataset and the function (mean).

aggregate(.~id1+id2, df1, mean)

Or we can use summarise_each from dplyr after grouping (group_by)

library(dplyr)
df1 %>%
    group_by(id1, id2) %>% 
    summarise_each(funs(mean))

Or using summarise with across (dplyr devel version - ‘0.8.99.9000’)

df1 %>% 
    group_by(id1, id2) %>%
    summarise(across(starts_with('val'), mean))

Or another option is data.table. We convert the 'data.frame' to 'data.table' (setDT(df1), grouped by 'id1' and 'id2', we loop through the subset of data.table (.SD) and get the mean.

library(data.table)
setDT(df1)[, lapply(.SD, mean), by = .(id1, id2)]

data

df1 <- structure(list(id1 = c("a", "a", "a", "a", "b", "b", 
"b", "b"
), id2 = c("x", "x", "y", "y", "x", "y", "x", "y"), 
val1 = c(1L, 
2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 4L, 3L, 2L), val2 = c(9L, 4L, 5L, 9L, 7L, 4L, 
9L, 8L)), .Names = c("id1", "id2", "val1", "val2"), 
class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", 
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"))

Parsing XML in Python using ElementTree example

If I understand your question correctly:

for elem in doc.findall('timeSeries/values/value'):
    print elem.get('dateTime'), elem.text

or if you prefer (and if there is only one occurrence of timeSeries/values:

values = doc.find('timeSeries/values')
for value in values:
    print value.get('dateTime'), elem.text

The findall() method returns a list of all matching elements, whereas find() returns only the first matching element. The first example loops over all the found elements, the second loops over the child elements of the values element, in this case leading to the same result.

I don't see where the problem with not finding timeSeries comes from however. Maybe you just forgot the getroot() call? (note that you don't really need it because you can work from the elementtree itself too, if you change the path expression to for example /timeSeriesResponse/timeSeries/values or //timeSeries/values)

Bootstrap how to get text to vertical align in a div container

HTML:

First, we will need to add a class to your text container so that we can access and style it accordingly.

<div class="col-xs-5 textContainer">
     <h3 class="text-left">Link up with other gamers all over the world who share the same tastes in games.</h3>
</div>

CSS:

Next, we will apply the following styles to align it vertically, according to the size of the image div next to it.

.textContainer { 
    height: 345px; 
    line-height: 340px;
}

.textContainer h3 {
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: inline-block;
}

All Done! Adjust the line-height and height on the styles above if you believe that it is still slightly out of align.

WORKING EXAMPLE

Can I find events bound on an element with jQuery?

I used something like this if($._data($("a.wine-item-link")[0]).events == null) { ... do something, pretty much bind their event handlers again } to check if my element is bound to any event. It will still say undefined (null) if you have unattached all your event handlers from that element. That is the reason why I am evaluating this in an if expression.

Focusable EditText inside ListView

We're trying this on a short list that does not do any view recycling. So far so good.

XML:

<RitalinLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >
  <ListView
      android:id="@+id/cart_list"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
      />
</RitalinLayout>

Java:

/**
 * It helps you keep focused.
 *
 * For use as a parent of {@link android.widget.ListView}s that need to use EditText
 * children for inline editing.
 */
public class RitalinLayout extends FrameLayout {
  View sticky;

  public RitalinLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);

    ViewTreeObserver vto = getViewTreeObserver();

    vto.addOnGlobalFocusChangeListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalFocusChangeListener() {
      @Override public void onGlobalFocusChanged(View oldFocus, View newFocus) {
        if (newFocus == null) return;

        View baby = getChildAt(0);

        if (newFocus != baby) {
          ViewParent parent = newFocus.getParent();
          while (parent != null && parent != parent.getParent()) {
            if (parent == baby) {
              sticky = newFocus;
              break;
            }
            parent = parent.getParent();
          }
        }
      }
    });

    vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
      @Override public void onGlobalLayout() {
        if (sticky != null) {
          sticky.requestFocus();
        }
      }
    });
  }
}

Is Java's assertEquals method reliable?

In a nutshell - you can have two String objects that contain the same characters but are different objects (in different memory locations). The == operator checks to see that two references are pointing to the same object (memory location), but the equals() method checks if the characters are the same.

Usually you are interested in checking if two Strings contain the same characters, not whether they point to the same memory location.

Adding Python Path on Windows 7

When setting Environmental Variables in Windows, I have gone wrong on many, many occasions. I thought I should share a few of my past mistakes here hoping that it might help someone. (These apply to all Environmental Variables, not just when setting Python Path)

Watch out for these possible mistakes:

Kill and reopen your shell window: Once you make a change to the ENVIRONMENTAL Variables, you have to restart the window you are testing it on.
NO SPACES when setting the Variables. Make sure that you are adding the ;C:\Python27 WITHOUT any spaces. (It is common to try C:\SomeOther; C:\Python27 That space (?) after the semicolon is not okay.)
USE A BACKWARD SLASH when spelling out your full path. You will see forward slashes when you try echo $PATH but only backward slashes have worked for me.
DO NOT ADD a final backslash. Only C:\Python27 NOT C:\Python27\

Hope this helps someone.

How do I print my Java object without getting "SomeType@2f92e0f4"?

I managed to get this done using Jackson in Spring 5. Depending on the object Jackson might not work in all cases.

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature;

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Staff staff = createStaff();
// pretty print
String json = mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(staff);
System.out.println("-------------------------------------------------------------------")
System.out.println(json);
System.out.println("-------------------------------------------------------------------")

the output would be something like

-------------------------------------------------------------------
{
  "id" : 1,
  "internalStaffId" : "1",
  "staffCms" : 1,
  "createdAt" : "1",
  "updatedAt" : "1",
  "staffTypeChange" : null,
  "staffOccupationStatus" : null,
  "staffNote" : null
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

More examples using Jackson here

You can try GSON also. Should be something like this:

Gson gson = new Gson();
System.out.println(gson.toJson(objectYouWantToPrint).toString());

Why is "except: pass" a bad programming practice?

The except:pass construct essentially silences any and all exceptional conditions that come up while the code covered in the try: block is being run.

What makes this bad practice is that it usually isn't what you really want. More often, some specific condition is coming up that you want to silence, and except:pass is too much of a blunt instrument. It will get the job done, but it will also mask other error conditions that you likely haven't anticipated, but may very well want to deal with in some other way.

What makes this particularly important in Python is that by the idioms of this language, exceptions are not necessarily errors. They're often used this way, of course, just as in most languages. But Python in particular has occasionally used them to implement an alternative exit path from some code tasks which isn't really part of the normal running case, but is still known to come up from time to time and may even be expected in most cases. SystemExit has already been mentioned as an old example, but the most common example nowadays may be StopIteration. Using exceptions this way caused a lot of controversy, especially when iterators and generators were first introduced to Python, but eventually the idea prevailed.

When to use malloc for char pointers

Everytime the size of the string is undetermined at compile time you have to allocate memory with malloc (or some equiviallent method). In your case you know the size of your strings at compile time (sizeof("something") and sizeof("something else")).

Adding Git-Bash to the new Windows Terminal

This is the complete answer (GitBash + color scheme + icon + context menu)

1) Set default profile:

"globals" : 
{
    "defaultProfile" : "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}",
    ...

2) Add GitBash profile

"profiles" : 
[
    {
        "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}",
        "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75,
        "closeOnExit" : true,
        "colorScheme" : "GitBash",
        "commandline" : "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe\" --login -i -l",
        "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
        "cursorShape" : "bar",
        "fontFace" : "Consolas",
        "fontSize" : 10,
        "historySize" : 9001,
        "icon" : "%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico", 
        "name" : "GitBash",
        "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
        "snapOnInput" : true,
        "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",
        "useAcrylic" : false        
    },

3) Add GitBash color scheme

"schemes" : 
[
    {
        "background" : "#000000",
        "black" : "#0C0C0C",
        "blue" : "#6060ff",
        "brightBlack" : "#767676",
        "brightBlue" : "#3B78FF",
        "brightCyan" : "#61D6D6",
        "brightGreen" : "#16C60C",
        "brightPurple" : "#B4009E",
        "brightRed" : "#E74856",
        "brightWhite" : "#F2F2F2",
        "brightYellow" : "#F9F1A5",
        "cyan" : "#3A96DD",
        "foreground" : "#bfbfbf",
        "green" : "#00a400",
        "name" : "GitBash",
        "purple" : "#bf00bf",
        "red" : "#bf0000",
        "white" : "#ffffff",
        "yellow" : "#bfbf00",
        "grey" : "#bfbfbf"
    },

4) To add a right-click context menu "Windows Terminal Here"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\wt]
@="Windows terminal here"
"Icon"="C:\\Users\\{YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME}\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\{YOUR_ICONS_FOLDER}\\icon.ico"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\wt\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\{YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME}\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\wt.exe\""

replace {YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME}
create icon folder, put the icon there and replace {YOUR_ICONS_FOLDER}
save this in a whatever_filename.reg file and run it.

Regarding Java switch statements - using return and omitting breaks in each case

If you're going to have a method that just runs the switch and then returns some value, then sure this way works. But if you want a switch with other stuff in a method then you can't use return or the rest of the code inside the method will not execute. Notice in the tutorial how it has a print after the code? Yours would not be able to do this.

Using "margin: 0 auto;" in Internet Explorer 8

As far as this being a "bug" with relation to the spec; it isn't. As the author of the post questions, the behaviour for this would be "undefined" since this behaviour in IE only happens on form controls, as per spec:

CSS 2.1 does not define which properties apply to form controls and frames, or how CSS can be used to style them. User agents may apply CSS properties to these elements. Authors are recommended to treat such support as experimental.

What are some uses of template template parameters?

I think you need to use template template syntax to pass a parameter whose type is a template dependent on another template like this:

template <template<class> class H, class S>
void f(const H<S> &value) {
}

Here, H is a template, but I wanted this function to deal with all specializations of H.

NOTE: I've been programming c++ for many years and have only needed this once. I find that it is a rarely needed feature (of course handy when you need it!).

I've been trying to think of good examples, and to be honest, most of the time this isn't necessary, but let's contrive an example. Let's pretend that std::vector doesn't have a typedef value_type.

So how would you write a function which can create variables of the right type for the vectors elements? This would work.

template <template<class, class> class V, class T, class A>
void f(V<T, A> &v) {
    // This can be "typename V<T, A>::value_type",
    // but we are pretending we don't have it

    T temp = v.back();
    v.pop_back();
    // Do some work on temp

    std::cout << temp << std::endl;
}

NOTE: std::vector has two template parameters, type, and allocator, so we had to accept both of them. Fortunately, because of type deduction, we won't need to write out the exact type explicitly.

which you can use like this:

f<std::vector, int>(v); // v is of type std::vector<int> using any allocator

or better yet, we can just use:

f(v); // everything is deduced, f can deal with a vector of any type!

UPDATE: Even this contrived example, while illustrative, is no longer an amazing example due to c++11 introducing auto. Now the same function can be written as:

template <class Cont>
void f(Cont &v) {

    auto temp = v.back();
    v.pop_back();
    // Do some work on temp

    std::cout << temp << std::endl;
}

which is how I'd prefer to write this type of code.

How to get size in bytes of a CLOB column in Oracle?

Try this one for CLOB sizes bigger than VARCHAR2:

We have to split the CLOB in parts of "VARCHAR2 compatible" sizes, run lengthb through every part of the CLOB data, and summarize all results.

declare
   my_sum int;
begin
   for x in ( select COLUMN, ceil(DBMS_LOB.getlength(COLUMN) / 2000) steps from TABLE ) 
   loop
       my_sum := 0;
       for y in 1 .. x.steps
       loop
          my_sum := my_sum + lengthb(dbms_lob.substr( x.COLUMN, 2000, (y-1)*2000+1 ));
          -- some additional output
          dbms_output.put_line('step:' || y );
          dbms_output.put_line('char length:' || DBMS_LOB.getlength(dbms_lob.substr( x.COLUMN, 2000 , (y-1)*2000+1 )));
          dbms_output.put_line('byte length:' || lengthb(dbms_lob.substr( x.COLUMN, 2000, (y-1)*2000+1 )));
          continue;
        end loop;
        dbms_output.put_line('char summary:' || DBMS_LOB.getlength(x.COLUMN));
        dbms_output.put_line('byte summary:' || my_sum);
        continue;
    end loop;
end;

Are there dictionaries in php?

http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

<?php
$array = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo",
);

// as of PHP 5.4
$array = [
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo",
];
?>

Standard arrays can be used that way.

What is a "web service" in plain English?

'Web Service' is composed of two words,'Web' and 'Service'.
What is 'Web'? 'Web' means 'World Wide Web'.
'Service' for what? Not for Human,if so,it's 'Web Page',such as text,images,video etc.
It's for Programs to communicate through the Internet using the same technology the 'Web' used,such as TCP,HTTP etc.
'Service' also means it provides some functions,like the 'Service Layer' in CRUD. There are mainly two types:
1. SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol)
2. RESTful(Representational state transfer)

How to find the index of an element in an int array?

ArrayUtils.indexOf(array, value);
Ints.indexOf(array, value);
Arrays.asList(array).indexOf(value);

Could not load type 'XXX.Global'

I had this problem.

I solved it with this solution, by giving CREATOR OWNER full rights to the Windows Temp folder. For some reason, that user had no rights at all assigned. Maybe because some time ago I ran Combofix on my computer.

Javascript: Fetch DELETE and PUT requests

Here is a fetch POST example. You can do the same for DELETE.

function createNewProfile(profile) {
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('first_name', profile.firstName);
    formData.append('last_name', profile.lastName);
    formData.append('email', profile.email);

    return fetch('http://example.com/api/v1/registration', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: formData
    }).then(response => response.json())
}

createNewProfile(profile)
   .then((json) => {
       // handle success
    })
   .catch(error => error);

How to remove the focus from a TextBox in WinForms?

If all you want is the optical effect that the textbox has no blue selection all over its contents, just select no text:

textBox_Log.SelectionStart = 0;
textBox_Log.SelectionLength = 0;
textBox_Log.Select();

After this, when adding content with .Text += "...", no blue selection will be shown.

USB Debugging option greyed out

Connect the phone to a PC, make sure your developer options are enabled. Then, connection type must be MTP or File Transfer. Charge only does not allow USB debugging(disables the option).

Python for and if on one line

The reason it prints "three" is because you didnt define your array. The equivalent to what you're doing is:

arr = []
for i in array :
    if i == "two" :
        arr.push(i)
print(i)

You are asking for the last element it looked through, which is not what you should be doing. You need to be storing the array to a variable in order to get the element.

The english equivalent of what you are doing is:

You: "I need you to print all the elements in this array that equal two, but in an array. And each time you cycle through the list, define the current element as I."
Computer: "Here: ["two"]"
You: "Now tell me 'i'"
Computer: "'i' is equal to "three"
You: "Why?"

The reason 'i' is equal to "three" is because three was the last thing that was defined as I

the computer did:

i = "one"
i = "two"
i = "three"

print(["two"])

Because you asked it to.

If you want the index, go here If you want the values in an array, define the array, like this:

MyArray = [(i) for i in my_list if i=="two"]

How to get current time in python and break up into year, month, day, hour, minute?

Three libraries for accessing and manipulating dates and times, namely datetime, arrow and pendulum, all make these items available in namedtuples whose elements are accessible either by name or index. Moreover, the items are accessible in precisely the same way. (I suppose if I were more intelligent I wouldn't be surprised.)

>>> YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES = range(5)
>>> import datetime
>>> import arrow
>>> import pendulum
>>> [datetime.datetime.now().timetuple()[i] for i in [YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES]]
[2017, 6, 16, 19, 15]
>>> [arrow.now().timetuple()[i] for i in [YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES]]
[2017, 6, 16, 19, 15]
>>> [pendulum.now().timetuple()[i] for i in [YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES]]
[2017, 6, 16, 19, 16]

Adding extra zeros in front of a number using jQuery?

str could be a number or a string.

formatting("hi",3);
function formatting(str,len)
{
   return ("000000"+str).slice(-len);
}

Add more zeros if needs large digits

Is there a 'box-shadow-color' property?

A quick and copy/paste you can use for Chrome and Firefox would be: (change the stuff after the # to change the color)

-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 15px 5px #666;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 15px 05px #666;

Matt Roberts' answer is correct for webkit browsers (safari, chrome, etc), but I thought someone out there might want a quick answer rather than be told to learn to program to make some shadows.

Remove old Fragment from fragment manager

I had the same issue to remove old fragments. I ended up clearing the layout that contained the fragments.

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) a.findViewById(R.id.layoutDeviceList);
layout.removeAllViewsInLayout();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
...

I do not know if this creates leaks, but it works for me.

Are HTTPS headers encrypted?

HTTP version 1.1 added a special HTTP method, CONNECT - intended to create the SSL tunnel, including the necessary protocol handshake and cryptographic setup.
The regular requests thereafter all get sent wrapped in the SSL tunnel, headers and body inclusive.

Go to "next" iteration in JavaScript forEach loop

JavaScript's forEach works a bit different from how one might be used to from other languages for each loops. If reading on the MDN, it says that a function is executed for each of the elements in the array, in ascending order. To continue to the next element, that is, run the next function, you can simply return the current function without having it do any computation.

Adding a return and it will go to the next run of the loop:

_x000D_

var myArr = [1,2,3,4];_x000D_
_x000D_
myArr.forEach(function(elem){_x000D_
  if (elem === 3) {_x000D_
    return;_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  console.log(elem);_x000D_
});
