Genymotion, "Unable to load VirtualBox engine." on Mavericks. VBox is setup correctly

Uninstall VirtualBox with uninstaller (it comes with dmg), then install VirtualBox again. This has solved that issue for me.

Android Bitmap to Base64 String

The problem with jeet's answer is that you load all bytes of the image into a byte array, which will likely crash the app in low-end devices. Instead, I would first write the image to a file and read it using Apache's Base64InputStream class. Then you can create the Base64 string directly from the InputStream of that file. It will look like this:

//Don't forget the manifest permission to write files
final FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(yourFileHere); 
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);

fos.close();

final InputStream is = new Base64InputStream( new FileInputStream(yourFileHere) );

//Now that we have the InputStream, we can read it and put it into the String
final StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
IOUtils.copy(is , writer, encoding);
final String yourBase64String = writer.toString();

As you can see, the above solution works directly with streams instead, avoiding the need to load all the bytes into a variable, therefore making the memory footprint much lower and less likely to crash in low-end devices. There is still the problem that putting the Base64 string itself into a String variable is not a good idea, because, again, it might cause OutOfMemory errors. But at least we have cut the memory consumption by half by eliminating the byte array.

If you want to skip the write-to-a-file step, you have to convert the OutputStream to an InputStream, which is not so straightforward to do (you must use PipedInputStream but that is a little more complex as the two streams must always be in different threads).

Stock ticker symbol lookup API

Your best bets are probably going with one of the other lookup services (still screen-scraping), and checking whether they don't require CAPTCHAs.

The last appears the least likely to require a CAPTCHA at any point, but it's worth checking all three.

How do I debug error ECONNRESET in Node.js?

Yes, your serving of the policy file can definitely cause the crash.

To repeat, just add a delay to your code:

net.createServer( function(socket) 
{
    for (i=0; i<1000000000; i++) ;
    socket.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");
…

… and use telnet to connect to the port. If you disconnect telnet before the delay has expired, you'll get a crash (uncaught exception) when socket.write throws an error.

To avoid the crash here, just add an error handler before reading/writing the socket:

net.createServer(function(socket)
{
    for(i=0; i<1000000000; i++);
    socket.on('error', function(error) { console.error("error", error); });
    socket.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");
}

When you try the above disconnect, you'll just get a log message instead of a crash.

And when you're done, remember to remove the delay.

What's the difference between event.stopPropagation and event.preventDefault?

stopPropagation prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases.

preventDefault prevents the default action the browser makes on that event.

Examples

preventDefault

_x000D_
_x000D_
$("#but").click(function (event) {
  event.preventDefault()
})
$("#foo").click(function () {
  alert("parent click event fired!")
})
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="foo">
  <button id="but">button</button>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

stopPropagation

_x000D_
_x000D_
$("#but").click(function (event) {
  event.stopPropagation()
})
$("#foo").click(function () {
  alert("parent click event fired!")
})
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="foo">
  <button id="but">button</button>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

With stopPropagation, only the button's click handler is called while the div's click handler never fires.

Where as if you use preventDefault, only the browser's default action is stopped but the div's click handler still fires.

Below are some docs on the DOM event properties and methods from MDN:

For IE9 and FF you can just use preventDefault & stopPropagation.

To support IE8 and lower replace stopPropagation with cancelBubble and replace preventDefault with returnValue

Close a MessageBox after several seconds

DMitryG's code "get the return value of the underlying MessageBox" has a bug so the timerResult is never actually correctly returned (MessageBox.Show call returns AFTER OnTimerElapsed completes). My fix is below:

public class TimedMessageBox {
    System.Threading.Timer _timeoutTimer;
    string _caption;
    DialogResult _result;
    DialogResult _timerResult;
    bool timedOut = false;

    TimedMessageBox(string text, string caption, int timeout, MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons.OK, DialogResult timerResult = DialogResult.None)
    {
        _caption = caption;
        _timeoutTimer = new System.Threading.Timer(OnTimerElapsed,
            null, timeout, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
        _timerResult = timerResult;
        using(_timeoutTimer)
            _result = MessageBox.Show(text, caption, buttons);
        if (timedOut) _result = _timerResult;
    }

    public static DialogResult Show(string text, string caption, int timeout, MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons.OK, DialogResult timerResult = DialogResult.None) {
        return new TimedMessageBox(text, caption, timeout, buttons, timerResult)._result;
    }

    void OnTimerElapsed(object state) {
        IntPtr mbWnd = FindWindow("#32770", _caption); // lpClassName is #32770 for MessageBox
        if(mbWnd != IntPtr.Zero)
            SendMessage(mbWnd, WM_CLOSE, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
        _timeoutTimer.Dispose();
        timedOut = true;
    }

    const int WM_CLOSE = 0x0010;
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Auto)]
    static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Auto)]
    static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, UInt32 Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
}

Google Maps Api v3 - find nearest markers

I'd like to expand on Leor's suggestion for anyone confused on how to compute the nearest location and actually provide a working solution:

I'm using markers in a markers array e.g. var markers = [];.

Then let's have our position as something like var location = new google.maps.LatLng(51.99, -0.74);

Then we simply reduce our markers against the location we have like so:

markers.reduce(function (prev, curr) {

    var cpos = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(location.position, curr.position);
    var ppos = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(location.position, prev.position);

    return cpos < ppos ? curr : prev;

}).position

What pops out is your closest marker LatLng object.

bash string equality

There's no difference, == is a synonym for = (for the C/C++ people, I assume). See here, for example.

You could double-check just to be really sure or just for your interest by looking at the bash source code, should be somewhere in the parsing code there, but I couldn't find it straightaway.

jQuery scroll to element

After finding the way to get my code work, I think I should make thing a bit clear: For using:

$('html, body').animate({
   scrollTop: $("#div1").offset().top
}, 2000);

you need to be on top of the page since $("#div1").offset().top will return different numbers for different positions you scroll to. If you already scrolled out of the top, you need to specify the exact pageY value (see pageY definition here: https://javascript.info/coordinates).

So now, the problem is to calculate the pageY value of one element. Below is an example in case the scroll container is the body:

function getPageY(id) {
    let elem = document.getElementById(id);
    let box = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
    var body = document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0];
    return box.top + body.scrollTop; // for window scroll: box.top + window.scrollY;
}

The above function returns the same number even if you scrolled somewhere. Now, to scroll back to that element:

$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: getPageY('div1') }, "slow");

How do you use variables in a simple PostgreSQL script?

Building on @nad2000's answer and @Pavel's answer here, this is where I ended up for my Flyway migration scripts. Handling for scenarios where the database schema was manually modified.

DO $$
BEGIN
    IF NOT EXISTS(
        SELECT TRUE FROM pg_attribute 
        WHERE attrelid = (
            SELECT c.oid
            FROM pg_class c
            JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
            WHERE 
                n.nspname = CURRENT_SCHEMA() 
                AND c.relname = 'device_ip_lookups'
            )
        AND attname = 'active_date'
        AND NOT attisdropped
        AND attnum > 0
        )
    THEN
        RAISE NOTICE 'ADDING COLUMN';        
        ALTER TABLE device_ip_lookups
            ADD COLUMN active_date TIMESTAMP;
    ELSE
        RAISE NOTICE 'SKIPPING, COLUMN ALREADY EXISTS';
    END IF;
END $$;

Assign variable in if condition statement, good practice or not?

If you were to refer to Martin Fowlers book Refactoring improving the design of existing code ! Then there are several cases where it would be good practice eg. long complex conditionals to use a function or method call to assert your case:

"Motivation

One of the most common areas of complexity in a program lies in complex conditional logic. As you write code to test conditions and to do various things depending on various conditions, you quickly end up with a pretty long method. Length of a method is in itself a factor that makes it harder to read, but conditions increase the difficulty. The problem usually lies in the fact that the code, both in the condition checks and in the actions, tells you what happens but can easily obscure why it happens.

As with any large block of code, you can make your intention clearer by decomposing it and replacing chunks of code with a method call named after the intention of that block of code. > With conditions you can receive further benefit by doing this for the conditional part and each of the alternatives. This way you highlight the condition and make it clearly what you > are branching on. You also highlight the reason for the branching."

And yes his answer is also valid for Java implementations. It does not assign the conditional function to a variable though in the examples.

What is "export default" in JavaScript?

There are two different types of export, named and default. You can have multiple named exports per module but only one default export. Each type corresponds to one of the above. Source: MDN

Named Export

export class NamedExport1 { }

export class NamedExport2 { }

// Import class
import { NamedExport1 } from 'path-to-file'
import { NamedExport2 } from 'path-to-file'

// OR you can import all at once
import * as namedExports from 'path-to-file'

Default Export

export default class DefaultExport1 { }

// Import class
import DefaultExport1 from 'path-to-file' // No curly braces - {}

// You can use a different name for the default import

import Foo from 'path-to-file' // This will assign any default export to Foo.

How can I generate a random number in a certain range?

So you would want the following:

int random;
int max;
int min;

...somewhere in your code put the method to get the min and max from the user when they click submit and then use them in the following line of code:

random = Random.nextInt(max-min+1)+min;

This will set random to a random number between the user selected min and max. Then you will do:

TextView.setText(random.toString());

Call static methods from regular ES6 class methods

If you are planning on doing any kind of inheritance, then I would recommend this.constructor. This simple example should illustrate why:

class ConstructorSuper {
  constructor(n){
    this.n = n;
  }

  static print(n){
    console.log(this.name, n);
  }

  callPrint(){
    this.constructor.print(this.n);
  }
}

class ConstructorSub extends ConstructorSuper {
  constructor(n){
    this.n = n;
  }
}

let test1 = new ConstructorSuper("Hello ConstructorSuper!");
console.log(test1.callPrint());

let test2 = new ConstructorSub("Hello ConstructorSub!");
console.log(test2.callPrint());
  • test1.callPrint() will log ConstructorSuper Hello ConstructorSuper! to the console
  • test2.callPrint() will log ConstructorSub Hello ConstructorSub! to the console

The named class will not deal with inheritance nicely unless you explicitly redefine every function that makes a reference to the named Class. Here is an example:

class NamedSuper {
  constructor(n){
    this.n = n;
  }

  static print(n){
    console.log(NamedSuper.name, n);
  }

  callPrint(){
    NamedSuper.print(this.n);
  }
}

class NamedSub extends NamedSuper {
  constructor(n){
    this.n = n;
  }
}

let test3 = new NamedSuper("Hello NamedSuper!");
console.log(test3.callPrint());

let test4 = new NamedSub("Hello NamedSub!");
console.log(test4.callPrint());
  • test3.callPrint() will log NamedSuper Hello NamedSuper! to the console
  • test4.callPrint() will log NamedSuper Hello NamedSub! to the console

See all the above running in Babel REPL.

You can see from this that test4 still thinks it's in the super class; in this example it might not seem like a huge deal, but if you are trying to reference member functions that have been overridden or new member variables, you'll find yourself in trouble.

Continuous CSS rotation animation on hover, animated back to 0deg on hover out

Here's a simple working solution:

@-moz-keyframes spin { 100% { -moz-transform: rotate(360deg); } }
@-webkit-keyframes spin { 100% { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); } }
@keyframes spin { 100% { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); transform:rotate(360deg); } }

.elem:hover {
    -webkit-animation:spin 1.5s linear infinite;
    -moz-animation:spin 1.5s linear infinite;
    animation:spin 1.5s linear infinite;
}

What is the best way to conditionally apply a class?

partial

  <div class="col-md-4 text-right">
      <a ng-class="campaign_range === 'thismonth' ? 'btn btn-blue' :  'btn btn-link'" href="#" ng-click='change_range("thismonth")'>This Month</a>
      <a ng-class="campaign_range === 'all' ? 'btn btn-blue' :  'btn btn-link'" href="#" ng-click='change_range("all")'>All Time</a>
  </div>

controller

  $scope.campaign_range = "all";
  $scope.change_range = function(range) { 
        if (range === "all")
        {
            $scope.campaign_range = "all"
        }
        else
        {  
            $scope.campaign_range = "thismonth"
        }
  };

org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity: annotations.Users

The Hibernate configuration file must define the entity classes:

<mapping class="annotations.Users"/>

Or you must explicitly add the class to the configuration using

configuration.addClass(annotations.Users.class)
// Read mappings as a application resourceName
 // addResource is for add hbml.xml files in case of declarative approach
configuration.addResource("myFile.hbm.xml");  // not hibernateAnnotations.cfg.xml

phpmyadmin #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server. after installing mysql command line client

I would suggest 3 things:

  1. First try clearing browser's cache
  2. Try to assign username & password statically into config.inc.php
  3. Once you've done with installation, delete the config.inc.php file under "phpmyadmin" folder

The last one worked for me.

Java NIO: What does IOException: Broken pipe mean?

You should assume the socket was closed on the other end. Wrap your code with a try catch block for IOException.

You can use isConnected() to determine if the SocketChannel is connected or not, but that might change before your write() invocation finishes. Try calling it in your catch block to see if in fact this is why you are getting the IOException.

Converting NSString to NSDictionary / JSON

Use the following code to get the response object from the AFHTTPSessionManager failure block; then you can convert the generic type into the required data type:

How to convert an entire MySQL database characterset and collation to UTF-8?

You can create the sql to update all tables with:

    "ALTER TABLE ",TABLE_SCHEMA,".",TABLE_NAME," CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;  ") 
    AS alter_sql
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = "your_database_name";

Capture the output and run it.

Arnold Daniels' answer above is more elegant.

Python: How to check a string for substrings from a list?

Try this test:

any(substring in string for substring in substring_list)

It will return True if any of the substrings in substring_list is contained in string.

Note that there is a Python analogue of Marc Gravell's answer in the linked question:

from itertools import imap
any(imap(string.__contains__, substring_list)) 

In Python 3, you can use map directly instead:

any(map(string.__contains__, substring_list))

Probably the above version using a generator expression is more clear though.

What’s the difference between Response.Write() andResponse.Output.Write()?

Response.write() is used to display the normal text and Response.output.write() is used to display the formated text.

Where can I find the .apk file on my device, when I download any app and install?

There is an app in google play known as MyAppSharer. Open the app, search for the app that you have installed, check apk and select share. The app would take some time and build the apk. You can then close the app. The apk of the file is located in /sdcard/MyAppSharer

Converting an int to std::string

The following macro is not quite as compact as a single-use ostringstream or boost::lexical_cast.

But if you need conversion-to-string repeatedly in your code, this macro is more elegant in use than directly handling stringstreams or explicit casting every time.

It is also very versatile, as it converts everything supported by operator<<(), even in combination.

Definition:

#include <sstream>

#define SSTR( x ) dynamic_cast< std::ostringstream & >( \
            ( std::ostringstream() << std::dec << x ) ).str()

Explanation:

The std::dec is a side-effect-free way to make the anonymous ostringstream into a generic ostream so operator<<() function lookup works correctly for all types. (You get into trouble otherwise if the first argument is a pointer type.)

The dynamic_cast returns the type back to ostringstream so you can call str() on it.

Use:

#include <string>

int main()
{
    int i = 42;
    std::string s1 = SSTR( i );

    int x = 23;
    std::string s2 = SSTR( "i: " << i << ", x: " << x );
    return 0;
}

GridView sorting: SortDirection always Ascending

It's been awhile since I used a GridView, but I think you need to set the grid's SortDirection property to whatever it currently is before leaving the OnSorting method.

So....

List<V_ReportPeriodStatusEntity> items = GetPeriodStatusesForScreenSelection();
items.Sort(new Helpers.GenericComparer<V_ReportPeriodStatusEntity>(e.SortExpression, e.SortDirection));
grdHeader.SortDirection = e.SortDirection.Equals(SortDirection.Ascending) ? SortDirection.Descending : SortDirection.Ascending;
grdHeader.DataSource = items;
grdHeader.DataBind();

How to add AUTO_INCREMENT to an existing column?

I think you want to MODIFY the column as described for the ALTER TABLE command. It might be something like this:

ALTER TABLE users MODIFY id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Before running above ensure that id column has a Primary index.

How do I fix 'Invalid character value for cast specification' on a date column in flat file?

I was ultimately able to resolve the solution by setting the column type in the flat file connection to be of type "database date [DT_DBDATE]"

Apparently the differences between these date formats are as follow:

DT_DATE A date structure that consists of year, month, day, and hour.

DT_DBDATE A date structure that consists of year, month, and day.

DT_DBTIMESTAMP A timestamp structure that consists of year, month, hour, minute, second, and fraction

By changing the column type to DT_DBDATE the issue was resolved - I attached a Data Viewer and the CYCLE_DATE value was now simply "12/20/2010" without a time component, which apparently resolved the issue.

C# static class constructor

You can use static constructor to initialization static variable. Static constructor will be entry point for your class

public class MyClass

        //write your initialization code here
    }

}

How to display hidden characters by default (ZERO WIDTH SPACE ie. &#8203)

A very simple solution is to search your file(s) for non-ascii characters using a regular expression. This will nicely highlight all the spots where they are found with a border.

Search for [^\x00-\x7F] and check the box for Regex.

The result will look like this (in dark mode):

zero width space made visible

Web Service vs WCF Service

From What's the Difference between WCF and Web Services?

WCF is a replacement for all earlier web service technologies from Microsoft. It also does a lot more than what is traditionally considered as "web services".

WCF "web services" are part of a much broader spectrum of remote communication enabled through WCF. You will get a much higher degree of flexibility and portability doing things in WCF than through traditional ASMX because WCF is designed, from the ground up, to summarize all of the different distributed programming infrastructures offered by Microsoft. An endpoint in WCF can be communicated with just as easily over SOAP/XML as it can over TCP/binary and to change this medium is simply a configuration file mod. In theory, this reduces the amount of new code needed when porting or changing business needs, targets, etc.

ASMX is older than WCF, and anything ASMX can do so can WCF (and more). Basically you can see WCF as trying to logically group together all the different ways of getting two apps to communicate in the world of Microsoft; ASMX was just one of these many ways and so is now grouped under the WCF umbrella of capabilities.

Web Services can be accessed only over HTTP & it works in stateless environment, where WCF is flexible because its services can be hosted in different types of applications. Common scenarios for hosting WCF services are IIS,WAS, Self-hosting, Managed Windows Service.

The major difference is that Web Services Use XmlSerializer. But WCF Uses DataContractSerializer which is better in performance as compared to XmlSerializer.

search in java ArrayList

I did something close to that, the compiler is seeing that your return statement is in an If() statement. If you wish to resolve this error, simply create a new local variable called customerId before the If statement, then assign a value inside of the if statement. After the if statement, call your return statement, and return cstomerId. Like this:

Customer findCustomerByid(int id)
{
    boolean exist=false;

    if(this.customers.isEmpty()) {
        return null;
    }

    for(int i=0;i<this.customers.size();i++) {
        if(this.customers.get(i).getId() == id) {
            exist=true;
            break;
        }

        int customerId;

        if(exist) {
            customerId = this.customers.get(id);
        } else {
            customerId = this.customers.get(id);
        }
    }
    return customerId;
}

mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead

Simply put, you need to rewrite all of your database connections and queries.

You are using mysql_* functions which are now deprecated and will be removed from PHP in the future. So you need to start using MySQLi or PDO instead, just as the error notice warned you.

A basic example of using PDO (without error handling):

<?php
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb;charset=utf8', 'username', 'password');
$result = $db->exec("INSERT INTO table(firstname, lastname) VAULES('John', 'Doe')");
$insertId = $db->lastInsertId();
?>

A basic example of using MySQLi (without error handling):

$db = new mysqli($DBServer, $DBUser, $DBPass, $DBName);
$result = $db->query("INSERT INTO table(firstname, lastname) VAULES('John', 'Doe')");

Here's a handy little PDO tutorial to get you started. There are plenty of others, and ones about the PDO alternative, MySQLi.

Git : fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists

In my case updating GIT helps - I had version 2.23 and with installing version 2.26.2.windows.1 problem disapears.

So if you are sure your SSH key is valid then (see @VonC answer):

  1. update GIT
  2. update composer
  3. run composer clearcache

And it should be ok.

How to make primary key as autoincrement for Room Persistence lib

You can add @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) like this:

@Entity
data class Food(
        var foodName: String, 
        var foodDesc: String, 
        var protein: Double, 
        var carbs: Double, 
        var fat: Double
){
    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    var foodId: Int = 0 // or foodId: Int? = null
    var calories: Double = 0.toDouble()
}

Is it possible to set async:false to $.getJSON call

Roll your own e.g.

function syncJSON(i_url, callback) {
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    async: false,
    url: i_url,
    contentType: "application/json",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function (msg) { callback(msg) },
    error: function (msg) { alert('error : ' + msg.d); }
  });
}

syncJSON("/pathToYourResouce", function (msg) {
   console.log(msg);
})

Dynamic loading of images in WPF

Here is the extension method to load an image from URI:

public static BitmapImage GetBitmapImage(
    this Uri imageAbsolutePath,
    BitmapCacheOption bitmapCacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.Default)
{
    BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
    image.BeginInit();
    image.CacheOption = bitmapCacheOption;
    image.UriSource = imageAbsolutePath;
    image.EndInit();

    return image;
}

Sample of use:

Uri _imageUri = new Uri(imageAbsolutePath);
ImageXamlElement.Source = _imageUri.GetBitmapImage(BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad);

Simple as that!

Stack smashing detected

Stack corruptions ususally caused by buffer overflows. You can defend against them by programming defensively.

Whenever you access an array, put an assert before it to ensure the access is not out of bounds. For example:

assert(i + 1 < N);
assert(i < N);
a[i + 1] = a[i];

This makes you think about array bounds and also makes you think about adding tests to trigger them if possible. If some of these asserts can fail during normal use turn them into a regular if.

How do I parse an ISO 8601-formatted date?

Django's parse_datetime() function supports dates with UTC offsets:

parse_datetime('2016-08-09T15:12:03.65478Z') =
datetime.datetime(2016, 8, 9, 15, 12, 3, 654780, tzinfo=<UTC>)

So it could be used for parsing ISO 8601 dates in fields within entire project:

from django.utils import formats
from django.forms.fields import DateTimeField
from django.utils.dateparse import parse_datetime

class DateTimeFieldFixed(DateTimeField):
    def strptime(self, value, format):
        if format == 'iso-8601':
            return parse_datetime(value)
        return super().strptime(value, format)

DateTimeField.strptime = DateTimeFieldFixed.strptime
formats.ISO_INPUT_FORMATS['DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS'].insert(0, 'iso-8601')

How do I get a list of locked users in an Oracle database?

This suits the requirement:

select username, account_status, EXPIRY_DATE from dba_users where 
username='<username>';

Output:

USERNAME        ACCOUNT_STATUS                   EXPIRY_DA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM          EXPIRED                          13-NOV-17

How can I get a uitableViewCell by indexPath?

Finally, I get the cell using the following code:

UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[(UITableView *)self.view cellForRowAtIndexPath:nowIndex];

Because the class is extended UITableViewController:

@interface SearchHotelViewController : UITableViewController

So, the self is "SearchHotelViewController".

How to execute raw SQL in Flask-SQLAlchemy app

result = db.engine.execute(text("<sql here>"))

executes the <sql here> but doesn't commit it unless you're on autocommit mode. So, inserts and updates wouldn't reflect in the database.

To commit after the changes, do

result = db.engine.execute(text("<sql here>").execution_options(autocommit=True))

How to recursively delete an entire directory with PowerShell 2.0?

There seems to be issues where Remove-Item -Force -Recurse can intermittently fail on Windows because the underlying filesystem is asynchronous. This answer seems to address it. The user has also been actively involved with the Powershell team on GitHub.

How to delete stuff printed to console by System.out.println()?

There are two different ways to clear the terminal in BlueJ. You can get BlueJ to automatically clear the terminal before every interactive method call. To do this, activate the 'Clear screen at method call' option in the 'Options' menu of the terminal. You can also clear the terminal programmatically from within your program. Printing a formfeed character (Unicode 000C) clears the BlueJ terminal, for example:

System.out.print('\u000C');

Calculate cosine similarity given 2 sentence strings

Well, if you are aware of word embeddings like Glove/Word2Vec/Numberbatch, your job is half done. If not let me explain how this can be tackled. Convert each sentence into word tokens, and represent each of these tokens as vectors of high dimension (using the pre-trained word embeddings, or you could train them yourself even!). So, now you just don't capture their surface similarity but rather extract the meaning of each word which comprise the sentence as a whole. After this calculate their cosine similarity and you are set.

preg_match in JavaScript?

var text = 'price[5][68]';
var regex = /price\[(\d+)\]\[(\d+)\]/gi;
match = regex.exec(text);

match[1] and match[2] will contain the numbers you're looking for.

Laravel Eloquent: Ordering results of all()

You can actually do this within the query.

$results = Project::orderBy('name')->get();

This will return all results with the proper order.

label or @html.Label ASP.net MVC 4

The helpers are there mainly to help you display labels, form inputs, etc for the strongly typed properties of your model. By using the helpers and Visual Studio Intellisense, you can greatly reduce the number of typos that you could make when generating a web page.

With that said, you can continue to create your elements manually for both properties of your view model or items that you want to display that are not part of your view model.

How do I use dataReceived event of the SerialPort Port Object in C#?

By the way, you can use next code in you event handler:

switch(e.EventType)
{
  case SerialData.Chars:
  {
    // means you receives something
    break;
  }
  case SerialData.Eof:
  {
    // means receiving ended
    break;
  }
}

Convert named list to vector with values only

purrr::flatten_*() is also a good option. the flatten_* functions add thin sanity checks and ensure type safety.

myList <- list('A'=1, 'B'=2, 'C'=3)

purrr::flatten_dbl(myList)
## [1] 1 2 3

Jquery Ajax, return success/error from mvc.net controller

 $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    data: formData,
    url: "/Forms/GetJobData",
    dataType: 'json',
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,               
    success: function (response) {
        if (response.success) {
            alert(response.responseText);
        } else {
            // DoSomethingElse()
            alert(response.responseText);
        }                          
    },
    error: function (response) {
        alert("error!");  // 
    }

});

Controller:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetJobData(Jobs jobData)
{
    var mimeType = jobData.File.ContentType;
    var isFileSupported = IsFileSupported(mimeType);

    if (!isFileSupported){        
         //  Send "false"
        return Json(new { success = false, responseText = "The attached file is not supported." }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }
    else
    {
        //  Send "Success"
        return Json(new { success = true, responseText= "Your message successfuly sent!"}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }   
}

---Supplement:---

basically you can send multiple parameters this way:

Controller:

 return Json(new { 
                success = true,
                Name = model.Name,
                Phone = model.Phone,
                Email = model.Email                                
            }, 
            JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

Html:

<script> 
     $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: '@Url.Action("GetData")',
                contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',            
                success: function (response) {

                   if(response.success){ 
                      console.log(response.Name);
                      console.log(response.Phone);
                      console.log(response.Email);
                    }


                },
                error: function (response) {
                    alert("error!"); 
                }
            });

RabbitMQ / AMQP: single queue, multiple consumers for same message?

There is one interesting option in this scenario I haven`t found in answers here.

You can Nack messages with "requeue" feature in one consumer to process them in another. Generally speaking it is not a right way, but maybe it will be good enough for someone.

https://www.rabbitmq.com/nack.html

And beware of loops (when all concumers nack+requeue message)!

What is the difference between POST and GET?

A POST, unlike a GET, typically has relevant information in the body of the request. (A GET should not have a body, so aside from cookies, the only place to pass info is in the URL.) Besides keeping the URL relatively cleaner, POST also lets you send much more information (as URLs are limited in length, for all practical purposes), and lets you send just about any type of data (file upload forms, for example, can't use GET -- they have to use POST plus a special content type/encoding).

Aside from that, a POST connotes that the request will change something, and shouldn't be redone willy-nilly. That's why you sometimes see your browser asking you if you want to resubmit form data when you hit the "back" button.

GET, on the other hand, should be idempotent -- meaning you could do it a million times and the server will do the same thing (and show basically the same result) each and every time.

Switching between GCC and Clang/LLVM using CMake

System wide C++ change on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install clang
sudo update-alternatives --config c++

Will print something like this:

  Selection    Path              Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/g++       20        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/clang++   10        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/g++       20        manual mode

Then just select clang++.

MySQL my.ini location

Open your run console type: services.msc look for: mysql right click properties where is written "path to executable", click and move the cursor to the right until you see the directory of my.ini, it's written "defaults-file-". to reach it manually on your explore folders you have to enable the visualization of hidden elements (explore folder>top menu>visualize>visualize hidden elements)

as explained by this video

How to open this .DB file?

You can use a tool like the TrIDNet - File Identifier to look for the Magic Number and other telltales, if the file format is in it's database it may tell you what it is for.

However searching the definitions did not turn up anything for the string "FLDB", but it checks more than magic numbers so it is worth a try.

If you are using Linux File is a command that will do a similar task.

The other thing to try is if you have access to the program that generated this file, there may be DLL's or EXE's from the database software that may contain meta information about the dll's creator which could give you a starting point for looking for software that can read the file outside of the program that originally created the .db file.

Catching multiple exception types in one catch block

This article covers the question electrictoolbox.com/php-catch-multiple-exception-types. Content of the post copied directly from the article:

Example exceptions

Here's some example exceptions that have been defined for the purposes of this example:

class FooException extends Exception 
{
  public function __construct($message = null, $code = 0) 
  {
    // do something
  }
}

class BarException extends Exception 
{
  public function __construct($message = null, $code = 0) 
  {
    // do something
  }
}

class BazException extends Exception 
{
  public function __construct($message = null, $code = 0) 
  {
    // do something
  }
}

Handling multiple exceptions

It's very simple - there can be a catch block for each exception type that can be thrown:

try 
{
  // some code that might trigger a Foo/Bar/Baz/Exception
}

catch(FooException $e) 
{
  // we caught a foo exception
}

catch(BarException $e) 
{
  // we caught a bar exception
}

catch(BazException $e) 
{
  // we caught a baz exception
}

catch(Exception $e) 
{
  // we caught a normal exception
  // or an exception that wasn't handled by any of the above
}

If an exception is thrown that is not handled by any of the other catch statements it will be handled by the catch(Exception $e) block. It does not necessarily have to be the last one.

Hiding elements in responsive layout?

For Bootstrap 4.0 beta (and I assume this will stay for final) there is a change - be aware that the hidden classes were removed.

See the docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/display/

In order to hide the content on mobile and display on the bigger devices you have to use the following classes:

d-none d-sm-block

The first class set display none all across devices and the second one display it for devices "sm" up (you could use md, lg, etc. instead of sm if you want to show on different devices.

I suggest to read about that before migration:

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/#responsive-utilities

How to check if a string "StartsWith" another string?

Here is a minor improvement to CMS's solution:

if(!String.prototype.startsWith){
    String.prototype.startsWith = function (str) {
        return !this.indexOf(str);
    }
}

"Hello World!".startsWith("He"); // true

 var data = "Hello world";
 var input = 'He';
 data.startsWith(input); // true

Checking whether the function already exists in case a future browser implements it in native code or if it is implemented by another library. For example, the Prototype Library implements this function already.

Using ! is slightly faster and more concise than === 0 though not as readable.

how do I check in bash whether a file was created more than x time ago?

I always liked using date -r /the/file +%s to find its age.

You can also do touch --date '2015-10-10 9:55' /tmp/file to get extremely fine-grained time on an arbitrary date/time.

Storing Images in PostgreSQL

In the database, there are two options:

  • bytea. Stores the data in a column, exported as part of a backup. Uses standard database functions to save and retrieve. Recommended for your needs.
  • blobs. Stores the data externally, not normally exported as part of a backup. Requires special database functions to save and retrieve.

I've used bytea columns with great success in the past storing 10+gb of images with thousands of rows. PG's TOAST functionality pretty much negates any advantage that blobs have. You'll need to include metadata columns in either case for filename, content-type, dimensions, etc.

Syntax of for-loop in SQL Server

Extra Info

Just to add as no-one has posted an answer that includes how to actually iterate though a dataset inside a loop, you can use the keywords OFFSET FETCH.

Usage

DECLARE @i INT = 0;
SELECT @count=  Count(*) FROM {TABLE}

WHILE @i <= @count
BEGIN

    SELECT * FROM {TABLE}
    ORDER BY {COLUMN}
    OFFSET @i ROWS   
    FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY  

    SET @i = @i + 1;

END

How to prevent ENTER keypress to submit a web form?

I had the same problem (forms with tons of text fields and unskilled users).

I solved it in this way:

function chkSubmit() {
    if (window.confirm('Do you want to store the data?')) {
        return true;
    } else {
        // some code to focus on a specific field
        return false;
    }
}

using this in the HTML code:

<form
    action="go.php" 
    method="post"
    accept-charset="utf-8"  
    enctype="multipart/form-data"
    onsubmit="return chkSubmit()"
>

In this way the ENTER key works as planned, but a confirmation (a second ENTER tap, usually) is required.

I leave to the readers the quest for a script sending the user in the field where he pressed ENTER if he decide to stay on the form.

How to convert a Scikit-learn dataset to a Pandas dataset?

Working off the best answer and addressing my comment, here is a function for the conversion

def bunch_to_dataframe(bunch):
  fnames = bunch.feature_names
  features = fnames.tolist() if isinstance(fnames, np.ndarray) else fnames
  features += ['target']
  return pd.DataFrame(data= np.c_[bunch['data'], bunch['target']],
                 columns=features)

Python - Passing a function into another function

A function name can become a variable name (and thus be passed as an argument) by dropping the parentheses. A variable name can become a function name by adding the parentheses.

In your example, equate the variable rules to one of your functions, leaving off the parentheses and the mention of the argument. Then in your game() function, invoke rules( v ) with the parentheses and the v parameter.

if puzzle == type1:
    rules = Rule1
else:
    rules = Rule2

def Game(listA, listB, rules):
    if rules( v ) == True:
        do...
    else:
        do...

Add to Array jQuery

For JavaScript arrays, you use Both push() and concat() function.

var array = [1, 2, 3];
array.push(4, 5);         //use push for appending a single array.




var array1 = [1, 2, 3];
var array2 = [4, 5, 6];

var array3 = array1.concat(array2);   //It is better use concat for appending more then one array.

PHP - regex to allow letters and numbers only

You left off the / (pattern delimiter) and $ (match end string).

preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/", $value)

jQuery - prevent default, then continue default

With jQuery and a small variation of @Joepreludian's answer above:

Important points to keep in mind:

  • .one(...) instead on .on(...) or .submit(...)
  • named function instead of anonymous function since we will be referring it within the callback.

$('form#my-form').one('submit', function myFormSubmitCallback(evt) {
    evt.stopPropagation();
    evt.preventDefault();
    var $this = $(this);
    if (allIsWell) {
        $this.submit(); // submit the form and it will not re-enter the callback because we have worked with .one(...)
    } else {
        $this.one('submit', myFormSubmitCallback); // lets get into the callback 'one' more time...
    }
});

You can change the value of allIsWell variable in the below snippet to true or false to test the functionality:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$('form#my-form').one('submit', function myFormSubmitCallback(evt){_x000D_
  evt.stopPropagation();_x000D_
  evt.preventDefault();_x000D_
  var $this = $(this);_x000D_
  var allIsWell = $('#allIsWell').get(0).checked;_x000D_
  if(allIsWell) {_x000D_
    $this.submit();_x000D_
  } else {_x000D_
    $this.one('submit', myFormSubmitCallback);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<form action="/" id="my-form">_x000D_
  <input name="./fname" value="John" />_x000D_
  <input name="./lname" value="Smith" />_x000D_
  <input type="submit" value="Lets Do This!" />_x000D_
  <br>_x000D_

    <input type="checkbox" value="true" id="allIsWell" />_x000D_
    All Is Well_x000D_
  </label>_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_

Recyclerview inside ScrollView not scrolling smoothly

XML code:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:clipToPadding="false" />

        </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

  recycleView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycleView);
     recycleView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);

How to get value of a div using javascript

You can try this:

var theValue = document.getElementById("demo").getAttribute("value");

Append values to a set in Python

The way I like to do this is to convert both the original set and the values I'd like to add into lists, add them, and then convert them back into a set, like this:

setMenu = {"Eggs", "Bacon"}
print(setMenu)
> {'Bacon', 'Eggs'}
setMenu = set(list(setMenu) + list({"Spam"}))
print(setMenu)
> {'Bacon', 'Spam', 'Eggs'}
setAdditions = {"Lobster", "Sausage"}
setMenu = set(list(setMenu) + list(setAdditions))
print(setMenu)
> {'Lobster', 'Spam', 'Eggs', 'Sausage', 'Bacon'}

This way I can also easily add multiple sets using the same logic, which gets me an TypeError: unhashable type: 'set' if I try doing it with the .update() method.

How do I make a textbox that only accepts numbers?

It seems like many of the current answers to this question are manually parsing the input text. If you're looking for a specific built-in numeric type (e.g. int or double), why not just delegate the work to that type's TryParse method? For example:

public class IntTextBox : TextBox
{
    string PreviousText = "";
    int BackingResult;

    public IntTextBox()
    {
        TextChanged += IntTextBox_TextChanged;
    }

    public bool HasResult { get; private set; }

    public int Result
    {
        get
        {
            return HasResult ? BackingResult : default(int);
        }
    }

    void IntTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HasResult = int.TryParse(Text, out BackingResult);

        if (HasResult || string.IsNullOrEmpty(Text))
        {
            // Commit
            PreviousText = Text;
        }
        else
        {
            // Revert
            var changeOffset = Text.Length - PreviousText.Length;
            var previousSelectionStart =
                Math.Max(0, SelectionStart - changeOffset);

            Text = PreviousText;
            SelectionStart = previousSelectionStart;
        }
    }
}

If you want something more generic but still compatible with Visual Studio's Designer:

public class ParsableTextBox : TextBox
{
    TryParser BackingTryParse;
    string PreviousText = "";
    object BackingResult;

    public ParsableTextBox()
        : this(null)
    {
    }

    public ParsableTextBox(TryParser tryParse)
    {
        TryParse = tryParse;

        TextChanged += ParsableTextBox_TextChanged;
    }

    public delegate bool TryParser(string text, out object result);

    public TryParser TryParse
    {
        set
        {
            Enabled = !(ReadOnly = value == null);

            BackingTryParse = value;
        }
    }

    public bool HasResult { get; private set; }

    public object Result
    {
        get
        {
            return GetResult<object>();
        }
    }

    public T GetResult<T>()
    {
        return HasResult ? (T)BackingResult : default(T);
    }

    void ParsableTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (BackingTryParse != null)
        {
            HasResult = BackingTryParse(Text, out BackingResult);
        }

        if (HasResult || string.IsNullOrEmpty(Text))
        {
            // Commit
            PreviousText = Text;
        }
        else
        {
            // Revert
            var changeOffset = Text.Length - PreviousText.Length;
            var previousSelectionStart =
                Math.Max(0, SelectionStart - changeOffset);

            Text = PreviousText;
            SelectionStart = previousSelectionStart;
        }
    }
}

And finally, if you want something fully generic and don't care about Designer support:

public class ParsableTextBox<T> : TextBox
{
    TryParser BackingTryParse;
    string PreviousText;
    T BackingResult;

    public ParsableTextBox()
        : this(null)
    {
    }

    public ParsableTextBox(TryParser tryParse)
    {
        TryParse = tryParse;

        TextChanged += ParsableTextBox_TextChanged;
    }

    public delegate bool TryParser(string text, out T result);

    public TryParser TryParse
    {
        set
        {
            Enabled = !(ReadOnly = value == null);

            BackingTryParse = value;
        }
    }

    public bool HasResult { get; private set; }

    public T Result
    {
        get
        {
            return HasResult ? BackingResult : default(T);
        }
    }

    void ParsableTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (BackingTryParse != null)
        {
            HasResult = BackingTryParse(Text, out BackingResult);
        }

        if (HasResult || string.IsNullOrEmpty(Text))
        {
            // Commit
            PreviousText = Text;
        }
        else
        {
            // Revert
            var changeOffset = Text.Length - PreviousText.Length;
            var previousSelectionStart =
                Math.Max(0, SelectionStart - changeOffset);

            Text = PreviousText;
            SelectionStart = previousSelectionStart;
        }
    }

How to get Spinner selected item value to string?

If your Spinner was populated by SQLite cursor, then the solution is:

Spinner mySpin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.myspin);
mySpin.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {  
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
           SQLiteCursor item = (SQLiteCursor) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
           String value = String.valueOf(item.getString(0));
           Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "The option is:" + value , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
 }

PS: In item.getString(0) -> 0 is the index of column on cursor that you want to get.

'True' and 'False' in Python

While the other posters addressed why is True does what it does, I wanted to respond to this part of your post:

I thought Python treats anything with value as True. Why is this happening?

Coming from Java, I got tripped up by this, too. Python does not treat anything with a value as True. Witness:

if 0:
    print("Won't get here")

This will print nothing because 0 is treated as False. In fact, zero of any numeric type evaluates to False. They also made decimal work the way you'd expect:

from decimal import *
from fractions import *

if 0 or 0.0 or 0j or Decimal(0) or Fraction(0, 1):
    print("Won't get here")

Here are the other value which evaluate to False:

if None or False or '' or () or [] or {} or set() or range(0):
    print("Won't get here")

How to specify line breaks in a multi-line flexbox layout?

Another possible solution that doesn't require to add any extra markup is to add some dynamic margin to separate the elements.

In the case of the example, this can be done with the help of calc(), just adding margin-left and margin-right to the 3n+2 element (2, 5, 8)

.item:nth-child(3n+2) {
  background: silver;
  margin: 10px calc(50% - 175px);
}

Using custom std::set comparator

std::less<> when using custom classes with operator<

If you are dealing with a set of your custom class that has operator< defined, then you can just use std::less<>.

As mentioned at http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/set/find C++14 has added two new find APIs:

template< class K > iterator find( const K& x );
template< class K > const_iterator find( const K& x ) const;

which allow you to do:

main.cpp

#include <cassert>
#include <set>

class Point {
    public:
        // Note that there is _no_ conversion constructor,
        // everything is done at the template level without
        // intermediate object creation.
        //Point(int x) : x(x) {}
        Point(int x, int y) : x(x), y(y) {}
        int x;
        int y;
};
bool operator<(const Point& c, int x) { return c.x < x; }
bool operator<(int x, const Point& c) { return x < c.x; }
bool operator<(const Point& c, const Point& d) {
    return c.x < d;
}

int main() {
    std::set<Point, std::less<>> s;
    s.insert(Point(1, -1));
    s.insert(Point(2, -2));
    s.insert(Point(0,  0));
    s.insert(Point(3, -3));
    assert(s.find(0)->y ==  0);
    assert(s.find(1)->y == -1);
    assert(s.find(2)->y == -2);
    assert(s.find(3)->y == -3);
    // Ignore 1234, find 1.
    assert(s.find(Point(1, 1234))->y == -1);
}

Compile and run:

g++ -std=c++14 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -o main.out main.cpp
./main.out

What is the difference between cssSelector & Xpath and which is better with respect to performance for cross browser testing?

I’m going to hold the unpopular on SO selenium tag opinion that XPath is preferable to CSS in the longer run.

This long post has two sections - first I'll put a back-of-the-napkin proof the performance difference between the two is 0.1-0.3 milliseconds (yes; that's 100 microseconds), and then I'll share my opinion why XPath is more powerful.


Performance difference

Let's first tackle "the elephant in the room" – that xpath is slower than css.

With the current cpu power (read: anything x86 produced since 2013), even on browserstack/saucelabs/aws VMs, and the development of the browsers (read: all the popular ones in the last 5 years) that is hardly the case. The browser's engines have developed, the support of xpath is uniform, IE is out of the picture (hopefully for most of us). This comparison in the other answer is being cited all over the place, but it is very contextual – how many are running – or care about – automation against IE8?

If there is a difference, it is in a fraction of a millisecond.

Yet, most higher-level frameworks add at least 1ms of overhead over the raw selenium call anyways (wrappers, handlers, state storing etc); my personal weapon of choice – RobotFramework – adds at least 2ms, which I am more than happy to sacrifice for what it provides. A network roundtrip from an AWS us-east-1 to BrowserStack's hub is usually 11 milliseconds.

So with remote browsers if there is a difference between xpath and css, it is overshadowed by everything else, in orders of magnitude.


The measurements

There are not that many public comparisons (I've really seen only the cited one), so – here's a rough single-case, dummy and simple one.
It will locate an element by the two strategies X times, and compare the average time for that.

The target – BrowserStack's landing page, and its "Sign Up" button; a screenshot of the html as writing this post:

enter image description here

Here's the test code (python):

from selenium import webdriver
import timeit


if __name__ == '__main__':

    xpath_locator = '//div[@class="button-section col-xs-12 row"]'
    css_locator = 'div.button-section.col-xs-12.row'

    repetitions = 1000

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    driver.get('https://www.browserstack.com/')

    css_time = timeit.timeit("driver.find_element_by_css_selector(css_locator)", 
                             number=repetitions, globals=globals())
    xpath_time = timeit.timeit('driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath_locator)', 
                             number=repetitions, globals=globals())

    driver.quit()

    print("css total time {} repeats: {:.2f}s, per find: {:.2f}ms".
          format(repetitions, css_time, (css_time/repetitions)*1000))
    print("xpath total time for {} repeats: {:.2f}s, per find: {:.2f}ms".
          format(repetitions, xpath_time, (xpath_time/repetitions)*1000))

For those not familiar with Python – it opens the page, and finds the element – first with the css locator, then with the xpath; the find operation is repeated 1,000 times. The output is the total time in seconds for the 1,000 repetitions, and average time for one find in milliseconds.

The locators are:

  • for xpath – "a div element having this exact class value, somewhere in the DOM";
  • the css is similar – "a div element with this class, somewhere in the DOM".

Deliberately chosen not to be over-tuned; also, the class selector is cited for the css as "the second fastest after an id".

The environment – Chrome v66.0.3359.139, chromedriver v2.38, cpu: ULV Core M-5Y10 usually running at 1.5GHz (yes, a "word-processing" one, not even a regular i7 beast).

Here's the output:

css total time 1000 repeats: 8.84s, per find: 8.84ms

xpath total time for 1000 repeats: 8.52s, per find: 8.52ms

Obviously the per find timings are pretty close; the difference is 0.32 milliseconds. Don't jump "the xpath is faster" – sometimes it is, sometimes it's css.


Let's try with another set of locators, a tiny-bit more complicated – an attribute having a substring (common approach at least for me, going after an element's class when a part of it bears functional meaning):

xpath_locator = '//div[contains(@class, "button-section")]'
css_locator = 'div[class~=button-section]'

The two locators are again semantically the same – "find a div element having in its class attribute this substring".
Here are the results:

css total time 1000 repeats: 8.60s, per find: 8.60ms

xpath total time for 1000 repeats: 8.75s, per find: 8.75ms

Diff of 0.15ms.


As an exercise - the same test as done in the linked blog in the comments/other answer - the test page is public, and so is the testing code.

They are doing a couple of things in the code - clicking on a column to sort by it, then getting the values, and checking the UI sort is correct.
I'll cut it - just get the locators, after all - this is the root test, right?

The same code as above, with these changes in:

  • The url is now http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/tables; there are 2 tests.

  • The locators for the first one - "Finding Elements By ID and Class" - are:

css_locator = '#table2 tbody .dues'
xpath_locator = "//table[@id='table2']//tr/td[contains(@class,'dues')]"

And here is the outcome:

css total time 1000 repeats: 8.24s, per find: 8.24ms

xpath total time for 1000 repeats: 8.45s, per find: 8.45ms

Diff of 0.2 milliseconds.

The "Finding Elements By Traversing":

css_locator = '#table1 tbody tr td:nth-of-type(4)'
xpath_locator = "//table[@id='table1']//tr/td[4]"

The result:

css total time 1000 repeats: 9.29s, per find: 9.29ms

xpath total time for 1000 repeats: 8.79s, per find: 8.79ms

This time it is 0.5 ms (in reverse, xpath turned out "faster" here).

So 5 years later (better browsers engines) and focusing only on the locators performance (no actions like sorting in the UI, etc), the same testbed - there is practically no difference between CSS and XPath.


So, out of xpath and css, which of the two to choose for performance? The answer is simple – choose locating by id.

Long story short, if the id of an element is unique (as it's supposed to be according to the specs), its value plays an important role in the browser's internal representation of the DOM, and thus is usually the fastest.

Yet, unique and constant (e.g. not auto-generated) ids are not always available, which brings us to "why XPath if there's CSS?"


The XPath advantage

With the performance out of the picture, why do I think xpath is better? Simple – versatility, and power.

Xpath is a language developed for working with XML documents; as such, it allows for much more powerful constructs than css.
For example, navigation in every direction in the tree – find an element, then go to its grandparent and search for a child of it having certain properties.
It allows embedded boolean conditions – cond1 and not(cond2 or not(cond3 and cond4)); embedded selectors – "find a div having these children with these attributes, and then navigate according to it".
XPath allows searching based on a node's value (its text) – however frowned upon this practice is, it does come in handy especially in badly structured documents (no definite attributes to step on, like dynamic ids and classes - locate the element by its text content).

The stepping in css is definitely easier – one can start writing selectors in a matter of minutes; but after a couple of days of usage, the power and possibilities xpath has quickly overcomes css.
And purely subjective – a complex css is much harder to read than a complex xpath expression.

Outro ;)

Finally, again very subjective - which one to chose?

IMO, there is no right or wrong choice - they are different solutions to the same problem, and whatever is more suitable for the job should be picked.

Being "a fan" of XPath I'm not shy to use in my projects a mix of both - heck, sometimes it is much faster to just throw a CSS one, if I know it will do the work just fine.

m2e error in MavenArchiver.getManifest()

I encountered the same issue after updating the maven-jar-plugin to its latest version (at the time of writing), 3.0.2.
Eclipse 4.5.2 started flagging the pom.xml file with the org.apache.maven.archiver.MavenArchiver.getManifest error and a Maven > Update Project.. would not fix it.

Easy solution: downgrade to 2.6 version
Indeed a possible solution is to get back to version 2.6, a further update of the project would then remove any error. However, that's not the ideal scenario and a better solution is possible: update the m2e extensions (Eclipse Maven integration).

Better solution: update Eclipse m2e extensions
From Help > Install New Software.., add a new repository (via the Add.. option), pointing to the following URL:

  • https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/connectors/m2eclipse-mavenarchiver/0.17.2/N/LATEST/

Then follow the update wizard as usual. Eclipse would then require a restart. Afterwards, a further Update Project.. on the concerned Maven project would remove any error and your Maven build could then enjoy the benefit of the latest maven-jar-plugin version.


Additonal notes
The reason for this issue is that from version 3.0.0 on, the concerned component, the maven-archiver and the related plexus-archiver has been upgraded to newer versions, breaking internal usages (via reflections) of the m2e integration in Eclipse. The only solution is then to properly update Eclipse, as described above.
Also note: while Eclipse would initially report errors, the Maven build (e.g. from command line) would keep on working perfectly, this issue is only related to the Eclipse-Maven integration, that is, to the IDE.

How can I specify system properties in Tomcat configuration on startup?

cliff.meyers's original answer that suggested using <env-entry> will not help when using only System.getProperty()

According to the Tomcat 6.0 docs <env-entry> is for JNDI. So that means it won't have any effect on System.getProperty().

With the <env-entry> from cliff.meyers's example, the following code

System.getProperty("SMTP_PASSWORD");

will return null, not the value "abc123ftw".

According to the Tomcat 6 docs, to use <env-entry> you'd have to write code like this to use <env-entry>:

// Obtain our environment naming context
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");

// Look up our data source
String s = (String)envCtx.lookup("SMTP_PASSWORD");

Caveat: I have not actually tried the example above. But I have tried <env-entry> with System.getProperty(), and that definitely does not work.

How to efficiently concatenate strings in go

Note added in 2018

From Go 1.10 there is a strings.Builder type, please take a look at this answer for more detail.

Pre-201x answer

The benchmark code of @cd1 and other answers are wrong. b.N is not supposed to be set in benchmark function. It's set by the go test tool dynamically to determine if the execution time of the test is stable.

A benchmark function should run the same test b.N times and the test inside the loop should be the same for each iteration. So I fix it by adding an inner loop. I also add benchmarks for some other solutions:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "strings"
    "testing"
)

const (
    sss = "xfoasneobfasieongasbg"
    cnt = 10000
)

var (
    bbb      = []byte(sss)
    expected = strings.Repeat(sss, cnt)
)

func BenchmarkCopyPreAllocate(b *testing.B) {
    var result string
    for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
        bs := make([]byte, cnt*len(sss))
        bl := 0
        for i := 0; i < cnt; i++ {
            bl += copy(bs[bl:], sss)
        }
        result = string(bs)
    }

Conclusion:

  1. CopyPreAllocate is the fastest way; AppendPreAllocate is pretty close to No.1, but it's easier to write the code.
  2. Concat has really bad performance both for speed and memory usage. Don't use it.
  3. Buffer#Write and Buffer#WriteString are basically the same in speed, contrary to what @Dani-Br said in the comment. Considering string is indeed []byte in Go, it makes sense.
  4. bytes.Buffer basically use the same solution as Copy with extra book keeping and other stuff.
  5. Copy and Append use a bootstrap size of 64, the same as bytes.Buffer
  6. Append use more memory and allocs, I think it's related to the grow algorithm it use. It's not growing memory as fast as bytes.Buffer

Suggestion:

  1. For simple task such as what OP wants, I would use Append or AppendPreAllocate. It's fast enough and easy to use.
  2. If need to read and write the buffer at the same time, use bytes.Buffer of course. That's what it's designed for.

Is JavaScript guaranteed to be single-threaded?

I would say that the specification does not prevent someone from creating an engine that runs javascript on multiple threads, requiring the code to perform synchronization for accessing shared object state.

I think the single-threaded non-blocking paradigm came out of the need to run javascript in browsers where ui should never block.

Nodejs has followed the browsers' approach.

Rhino engine however, supports running js code in different threads. The executions cannot share context, but they can share scope. For this specific case the documentation states:

..."Rhino guarantees that accesses to properties of JavaScript objects are atomic across threads, but doesn't make any more guarantees for scripts executing in the same scope at the same time.If two scripts use the same scope simultaneously, the scripts are responsible for coordinating any accesses to shared variables."

From reading Rhino documentation I conclude that that it can be possible for someone to write a javascript api that also spawns new javascript threads, but the api would be rhino-specific (e.g. node can only spawn a new process).

I imagine that even for an engine that supports multiple threads in javascript there should be compatibility with scripts that do not consider multi-threading or blocking.

Concearning browsers and nodejs the way I see it is:

    1. Is all js code executed in a single thread? : Yes.
    1. Can js code cause other threads to run? : Yes.
    1. Can these threads mutate js execution context?: No. But they can (directly/indirectly(?)) append to the event queue from which listeners can mutate execution context. But don't be fooled, listeners run atomically on the main thread again.

So, in case of browsers and nodejs (and probably a lot of other engines) javascript is not multithreaded but the engines themselves are.


Update about web-workers:

The presence of web-workers justifies further that javascript can be multi-threaded, in the sense that someone can create code in javascript that will run on a separate thread.

However: web-workers do not curry the problems of traditional threads who can share execution context. Rules 2 and 3 above still apply, but this time the threaded code is created by the user (js code writer) in javascript.

The only thing to consider is the number of spawned threads, from an efficiency (and not concurrency) point of view. See below:

About thread safety:

The Worker interface spawns real OS-level threads, and mindful programmers may be concerned that concurrency can cause “interesting” effects in your code if you aren't careful.

However, since web workers have carefully controlled communication points with other threads, it's actually very hard to cause concurrency problems. There's no access to non-threadsafe components or the DOM. And you have to pass specific data in and out of a thread through serialized objects. So you have to work really hard to cause problems in your code.


P.S.

Besides theory, always be prepared about possible corner cases and bugs described on the accepted answer

jQuery how to find an element based on a data-attribute value?

I improved upon psycho brm's filterByData extension to jQuery.

Where the former extension searched on a key-value pair, with this extension you can additionally search for the presence of a data attribute, irrespective of its value.

(function ($) {

    $.fn.filterByData = function (prop, val) {
        var $self = this;
        if (typeof val === 'undefined') {
            return $self.filter(
                function () { return typeof $(this).data(prop) !== 'undefined'; }
            );
        }
        return $self.filter(
            function () { return $(this).data(prop) == val; }
        );
    };

})(window.jQuery);

Usage:

$('<b>').data('x', 1).filterByData('x', 1).length    // output: 1
$('<b>').data('x', 1).filterByData('x').length       // output: 1

How can I send an inner <div> to the bottom of its parent <div>?

You may not want absolute positioning because it breaks the reflow: in some circumstances, a better solution is to make the grandparent element display:table; and the parent element display:table-cell;vertical-align:bottom;. After doing this, you should be able to give the the child elements display:inline-block; and they will automagically flow towards the bottom of the parent.

HTML image bottom alignment inside DIV container

This is your code: http://jsfiddle.net/WSFnX/

Using display: table-cell is fine, provided that you're aware that it won't work in IE6/7. Other than that, it's safe: Is there a disadvantage of using `display:table-cell`on divs?

To fix the space at the bottom, add vertical-align: bottom to the actual imgs:

http://jsfiddle.net/WSFnX/1/

Removing the space between the images boils down to this: bikeshedding CSS3 property alternative?

So, here's a demo with the whitespace removed in your HTML: http://jsfiddle.net/WSFnX/4/

SignalR Console app example

First of all, you should install SignalR.Host.Self on the server application and SignalR.Client on your client application by nuget :

PM> Install-Package SignalR.Hosting.Self -Version 0.5.2

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client

Then add the following code to your projects ;)

(run the projects as administrator)

Server console app:

using System;
using SignalR.Hubs;

namespace SignalR.Hosting.Self.Samples {
    class Program {
        static void Main(string[] args) {
            string url = "http://127.0.0.1:8088/";
            var server = new Server(url);

            // Map the default hub url (/signalr)
            server.MapHubs();

            // Start the server
            server.Start();

            Console.WriteLine("Server running on {0}", url);

            // Keep going until somebody hits 'x'
            while (true) {
                ConsoleKeyInfo ki = Console.ReadKey(true);
                if (ki.Key == ConsoleKey.X) {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        [HubName("CustomHub")]
        public class MyHub : Hub {
            public string Send(string message) {
                return message;
            }

            public void DoSomething(string param) {
                Clients.addMessage(param);
            }
        }
    }
}

Client console app:

using System;
using SignalR.Client.Hubs;

namespace SignalRConsoleApp {
    internal class Program {
        private static void Main(string[] args) {
            //Set connection
            var connection = new HubConnection("http://127.0.0.1:8088/");
            //Make proxy to hub based on hub name on server
            var myHub = connection.CreateHubProxy("CustomHub");
            //Start connection

            connection.Start().ContinueWith(task => {
                if (task.IsFaulted) {
                    Console.WriteLine("There was an error opening the connection:{0}",
                                      task.Exception.GetBaseException());
                } else {
                    Console.WriteLine("Connected");
                }

            }).Wait();

            myHub.Invoke<string>("Send", "HELLO World ").ContinueWith(task => {
                if (task.IsFaulted) {
                    Console.WriteLine("There was an error calling send: {0}",
                                      task.Exception.GetBaseException());
                } else {
                    Console.WriteLine(task.Result);
                }
            });

            myHub.On<string>("addMessage", param => {
                Console.WriteLine(param);
            });

            myHub.Invoke<string>("DoSomething", "I'm doing something!!!").Wait();


            Console.Read();
            connection.Stop();
        }
    }
}

What is the default root pasword for MySQL 5.7

I to was experiencing the same problem and the only thing I was able to do to make it work was to go this route:

drop user admin@localhost;
flush privileges;
create user admin@localhost identified by 'admins_password'

This allowed me to recreate my username and enter a password for the user name.

Is it possible to use jQuery .on and hover?

You can provide one or multiple event types separated by a space.

So hover equals mouseenter mouseleave.

This is my sugession:

$("#foo").on("mouseenter mouseleave", function() {
    // do some stuff
});

AngularJS Directive Restrict A vs E

One of the pitfalls as I know is IE problem with custom elements. As quoted from the docs:

3) you do not use custom element tags such as (use the attribute version instead)

4) if you do use custom element tags, then you must take these steps to make IE 8 and below happy

<!doctype html>
  <html xmlns:ng="http://angularjs.org" id="ng-app" ng-app="optionalModuleName">
    <head>
      <!--[if lte IE 8]>
        <script>
          document.createElement('ng-include');
          document.createElement('ng-pluralize');
          document.createElement('ng-view');

          // Optionally these for CSS
          document.createElement('ng:include');
          document.createElement('ng:pluralize');
          document.createElement('ng:view');

How to delete multiple values from a vector?

q <- c(1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,7,7)
rm <- q[11]
remove(rm)
q
q[13] = NaN
q
q %in% 7

This sets the 13 in a vector to not a number(NAN) it shows false remove(q[c(11,12,13)]) if you try this you will see that remove function don't work on vector number. you remove entire vector but maybe not a single element.

    android:prompt="Gender" />

Remove duplicate elements from array in Ruby

Just another alternative if anyone cares.

You can also use the to_set method of an array which converts the Array into a Set and by definition, set elements are unique.

[1,2,3,4,5,5,5,6].to_set => [1,2,3,4,5,6]

Oracle 10g: Extract data (select) from XML (CLOB Type)

You can achieve with below queries

  1. select extract(xmltype(xml), '//fax/text()').getStringVal() from mytab;

  2. select extractvalue(xmltype(xml), '//fax') from mytab;

What's faster, SELECT DISTINCT or GROUP BY in MySQL?

well distinct can be slower than group by on some occasions in postgres (dont know about other dbs).

tested example:

postgres=# select count(*) from (select distinct i from g) a;

count 

10001
(1 row)

Time: 1563,109 ms

postgres=# select count(*) from (select i from g group by i) a;

count
10001
(1 row)

Time: 594,481 ms

wamp server mysql user id and password

Here is the MySQL documentation on creating new user accounts.

In short, you create a user by running a CREATE USER statement:

CREATE USER "<username>" IDENTIFIED BY "<password>";

Once the user is created, you give him access to do things by using the GRANT statement.

How to free memory from char array in C

The memory associated with arr is freed automatically when arr goes out of scope. It is either a local variable, or allocated statically, but it is not dynamically allocated.

A simple rule for you to follow is that you must only every call free() on a pointer that was returned by a call to malloc, calloc or realloc.

smtp configuration for php mail

php's email() function hands the email over to a underlying mail transfer agent which is usually postfix on linux systems

so the preferred method on linux is to configure your postfix to use a relayhost, which is done by a line of

relayhost = smtp.example.com

in /etc/postfix/main.cf

however in the OP's scenario I somehow suspect that it's a job that his hosting team should have done

cpp / c++ get pointer value or depointerize pointer

To get the value of a pointer, just de-reference the pointer.

int *ptr;
int value;
*ptr = 9;

value = *ptr;

value is now 9.

I suggest you read more about pointers, this is their base functionality.

.p {
    position: relative;
    margin: 20px;
    margin-left: 50px;
}
.text-bullet-centered {
    position: absolute;
    left: -40px;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translate(0%,-50%);
    font-weight: bold;
}

And voila, it works. Resize a window, to see that it indeed works.

As a bonus, you can easily change font and color of bullets, which is very hard to do with normal lists.

Self-references in object literals / initializers

The other answers posted here are better but here's an alternative that:

  • Sets the value at initialization (not a getter, or derived, etc)
  • Doesn't require any type of init() or code outside of the object literal
  • Is an object literal and not a factory function or other object creation mechanic.
  • Shouldn't have any performance impact (except at initialization)

Self-executing anonymous functions and window storage

var foo = {
    bar:(function(){
        window.temp = "qwert";
        return window.temp;
    })(),
    baz: window.temp
};

The order is guaranteed (bar before baz).

It pollutes window of course, but I can't imagine someone writing a script that requires window.temp to be persistent. Maybe tempMyApp if you're paranoid.

It's also ugly but occasionally useful. An example is when you are using an API with rigid initialization conditions and don't feel like refactoring so the scoping is correct.

And it's dry, of course.

How to get the squared symbol (²) to display in a string

Not sure what kind of text box you are refering to. However, I'm not sure if you can do this in a text box on a user form.

A text box on a sheet you can though.

Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("TextBox 1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Text = "R2=" & variable
Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("TextBox 1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters(2, 1).Font.Superscript = msoTrue

And same thing for an excel cell

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Characters(2, 1).Font.Superscript = True

If this isn't what you're after you will need to provide more information in your question.

How to retry image pull in a kubernetes Pods?

Usually in case of "ImagePullBackOff" it's retried after few seconds/minutes. In case you want to try again manually you can delete the old pod and recreate the pod. The one line command to delete and recreate the pod would be:

kubectl replace --force -f <yml_file_describing_pod>

Reorder HTML table rows using drag-and-drop

Apparently the question poorly describes the OP's problem, but this question is the top search result for dragging to reorder table rows, so that is what I will answer. I wasn't interested in bringing in jQuery UI for something so simple, so here is a jQuery only solution:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$(".grab").mousedown(function(e) {
  var tr = $(e.target).closest("TR"),
    si = tr.index(),
    sy = e.pageY,
    b = $(document.body),
    drag;
  if (si == 0) return;
  b.addClass("grabCursor").css("userSelect", "none");
  tr.addClass("grabbed");

  function move(e) {
    if (!drag && Math.abs(e.pageY - sy) < 10) return;
    drag = true;
    tr.siblings().each(function() {
      var s = $(this),
        i = s.index(),
        y = s.offset().top;
      if (i > 0 && e.pageY >= y && e.pageY < y + s.outerHeight()) {
        if (i < tr.index())
          tr.insertAfter(s);
        else
          tr.insertBefore(s);
        return false;
      }
    });
  }

  function up(e) {
    if (drag && si != tr.index()) {
      drag = false;
      alert("moved!");
    }
    $(document).unbind("mousemove", move).unbind("mouseup", up);
    b.removeClass("grabCursor").css("userSelect", "none");
    tr.removeClass("grabbed");
  }
  $(document).mousemove(move).mouseup(up);
});
_x000D_
.grab {
  cursor: grab;
}

.grabbed {
  box-shadow: 0 0 13px #000;
}

.grabCursor,
.grabCursor * {
  cursor: grabbing !important;
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th></th>
    <th>Table Header</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="grab">&#9776;</td>
    <td>Table Cell 1</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="grab">&#9776;</td>
    <td>Table Cell 2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="grab">&#9776;</td>
    <td>Table Cell 3</td>
  </tr>
</table>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note si == 0 and i > 0 ignores the first row, which for me contains TH tags. Replace the alert with your "drag finished" logic.

How to create a custom-shaped bitmap marker with Android map API v2

The alternative and easier solution that i also use is to create custom marker layout and convert it into a bitmap.

view_custom_marker.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/custom_marker_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/marker_mask">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/profile_image"
        android:layout_width="48dp"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:contentDescription="@null"
        android:src="@drawable/avatar" />
</FrameLayout>

Convert this view into bitmap by using the code below

 private Bitmap getMarkerBitmapFromView(@DrawableRes int resId) {

        View customMarkerView = ((LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.view_custom_marker, null);
        ImageView markerImageView = (ImageView) customMarkerView.findViewById(R.id.profile_image);
        markerImageView.setImageResource(resId);
        customMarkerView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        customMarkerView.layout(0, 0, customMarkerView.getMeasuredWidth(), customMarkerView.getMeasuredHeight());
        customMarkerView.buildDrawingCache();
        Bitmap returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(customMarkerView.getMeasuredWidth(), customMarkerView.getMeasuredHeight(),
                Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        Drawable drawable = customMarkerView.getBackground();
        if (drawable != null)
            drawable.draw(canvas);
        customMarkerView.draw(canvas);
        return returnedBitmap;
    }

Add your custom marker in on Map ready callback.

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onMapReady() called with");
    mGoogleMap = googleMap;
    MapsInitializer.initialize(this);
    addCustomMarker();
}
private void addCustomMarker() {
    Log.d(TAG, "addCustomMarker()");
    if (mGoogleMap == null) {
        return;
    }

    // adding a marker on map with image from  drawable
   mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
            .position(mDummyLatLng)
            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(getMarkerBitmapFromView(R.drawable.avatar))));
}

NodeJS - What does "socket hang up" actually mean?

Expanding on Blender's answer, this happens in a number of situations. The most common ones I run into are:

  1. The server crashed.
  2. The server refused your connection, most likely blocked by User-Agent.

socketCloseListener, as outlined in Blender's answer, is not the only place that hangup errors are created.

For example, found here:

function socketOnEnd() {
  var socket = this;
  var req = this._httpMessage;
  var parser = this.parser;

  if (!req.res) {
    // If we don't have a response then we know that the socket
    // ended prematurely and we need to emit an error on the request.
    req.emit('error', createHangUpError());
    req._hadError = true;
  }
  if (parser) {
    parser.finish();
    freeParser(parser, req);
  }
  socket.destroy();
}

You could try curl with the headers and such that are being sent out from Node and see if you get a response there. If you don't get a response with curl, but you do get a response in your browser, then your User-Agent header is most likely being blocked.

Print the data in ResultSet along with column names

For what you are trying to do, instead of PreparedStatement you can use Statement. Your code may be modified as-

String sql = "SELECT column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name='suppliers';";

Statement s  = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

Hope this helps.

Daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037

This worked for me: Open task manager (of your OS) and kill adb.exe process. Now start adb again, now adb should start normally.

make: *** [ ] Error 1 error

I got the same thing. Running "make" and it fails with just this message.

% make
make: *** [all] Error 1

This was caused by a command in a rule terminates with non-zero exit status. E.g. imagine the following (stupid) Makefile:

all:
       @false
       echo "hello"

This would fail (without printing "hello") with the above message since false terminates with exit status 1.

In my case, I was trying to be clever and make a backup of a file before processing it (so that I could compare the newly generated file with my previous one). I did this by having a in my Make rule that looked like this:

@[ -e $@ ] && mv $@ [email protected]

...not realizing that if the target file does not exist, then the above construction will exit (without running the mv command) with exit status 1, and thus any subsequent commands in that rule failed to run. Rewriting my faulty line to:

@if [ -e $@ ]; then mv $@ [email protected]; fi

Solved my problem.

SQL SELECT multi-columns INTO multi-variable

SELECT @var = col1,
       @var2 = col2
FROM   Table

Here is some interesting information about SET / SELECT

  • SET is the ANSI standard for variable assignment, SELECT is not.
  • SET can only assign one variable at a time, SELECT can make multiple assignments at once.
  • If assigning from a query, SET can only assign a scalar value. If the query returns multiple values/rows then SET will raise an error. SELECT will assign one of the values to the variable and hide the fact that multiple values were returned (so you'd likely never know why something was going wrong elsewhere - have fun troubleshooting that one)
  • When assigning from a query if there is no value returned then SET will assign NULL, where SELECT will not make the assignment at all (so the variable will not be changed from it's previous value)
  • As far as speed differences - there are no direct differences between SET and SELECT. However SELECT's ability to make multiple assignments in one shot does give it a slight speed advantage over SET.

ORACLE: Updating multiple columns at once

It's perfectly possible to update multiple columns in the same statement, and in fact your code is doing it. So why does it seem that "INV_TOTAL is not updating, only the inv_discount"?

Because you're updating INV_TOTAL with INV_DISCOUNT, and the database is going to use the existing value of INV_DISCOUNT and not the one you change it to. So I'm afraid what you need to do is this:

UPDATE INVOICE
   SET INV_DISCOUNT = DISC1 * INV_SUBTOTAL
     , INV_TOTAL    = INV_SUBTOTAL - (DISC1 * INV_SUBTOTAL)     
WHERE INV_ID = I_INV_ID;

        

Perhaps that seems a bit clunky to you. It is, but the problem lies in your data model. Storing derivable values in the table, rather than deriving when needed, rarely leads to elegant SQL.

Can (domain name) subdomains have an underscore "_" in it?

Here my 2 cents from Java world:

From a Spark Scala console, with Java 8:

scala> new java.net.URI("spark://spark_master").getHost
res10: String = null

scala> new java.net.URI("spark://spark-master").getHost
res11: String = spark-master

scala> new java.net.URI("spark://spark_master.google.fr").getHost
res12: String = null

scala> new java.net.URI("spark://spark.master.google.fr").getHost
res13: String = spark.master.google.fr

scala> new java.net.URI("spark://spark-master.google.fr:3434").getHost
res14: String = spark-master.google.fr

scala> new java.net.URI("spark://spark-master.goo_gle.fr:3434").getHost
res15: String = null

It's definitely a bad idea ^^

Find files in created between a date range

Explanation: Use unix command find with -ctime (creation time) flag

The find utility recursively descends the directory tree for each path listed, evaluating an expression (composed of the 'primaries' and 'operands') in terms of each file in the tree.

Solution: According to documenation

-ctime n[smhdw]
             If no units are specified, this primary evaluates to true if the difference
             between the time of last change of file status information and the time find
             was started, rounded up to the next full 24-hour period, is n 24-hour peri-
             ods.

             If units are specified, this primary evaluates to true if the difference
             between the time of last change of file status information and the time find
             was started is exactly n units.  Please refer to the -atime primary descrip-
             tion for information on supported time units.

Formula: find <path> -ctime +[number][timeMeasurement] -ctime -[number][timeMeasurment]

Examples:

1.Find everything that were created after 1 week ago ago and before 2 weeks ago

find / -ctime +1w -ctime -2w

2.Find all javascript files (.js) in current directory that were created between 1 day ago to 3 days ago

find . -name "*\.js" -type f -ctime +1d -ctime -3d

Group by multiple field names in java 8

You can use List as a classifier for many fields, but you need wrap null values into Optional:

Function<String, List> classifier = (item) -> List.of(
    item.getFieldA(),
    item.getFieldB(),
    Optional.ofNullable(item.getFieldC())
);

Map<List, List<Item>> grouped = items.stream()
    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(classifier));

Pie chart with jQuery

Tons of great suggestions here, just going to throw ZingChart onto the stack for good measure. We recently released a jQuery wrapper for the library that makes it even easier to build and customize charts. The CDN links are in the demo below.

How to destroy an object?

May be in a situation where you are creating a new mysqli object.

$MyConnection = new mysqli($hn, $un, $pw, $db);

but even after you close the object

$MyConnection->close();

if you will use print_r() to check the contents of $MyConnection, you will get an error as below:

Error:
mysqli Object

Warning: print_r(): Property access is not allowed yet in /path/to/program on line ..
( [affected_rows] => [client_info] => [client_version] =>.................)

in which case you can't use unlink() because unlink() will require a path name string but in this case $MyConnection is an Object.

So you have another choice of setting its value to null:

$MyConnection = null;

now things go right, as you have expected. You don't have any content inside the variable $MyConnection as well as you already cleaned up the mysqli Object.

It's a recommended practice to close the Object before setting the value of your variable to null.

How to center an iframe horizontally?

You can put iframe inside a <div>

<div>
    <iframe></iframe>
</div>

It works because it is now inside a block element.

Error 0x80005000 and DirectoryServices

It's a permission problem.

When you run the console app, that app runs with your credentials, e.g. as "you".

The WCF service runs where? In IIS? Most likely, it runs under a separate account, which is not permissioned to query Active Directory.

You can either try to get the WCF impersonation thingie working, so that your own credentials get passed on, or you can specify a username/password on creating your DirectoryEntry:

DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = 
    new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://someserver.contoso.com/DC=contoso,DC=com", 
                       userName, password);

OK, so it might not be the credentials after all (that's usually the case in over 80% of the cases I see).

What about changing your code a little bit?

DirectorySearcher directorySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(directoryEntry);
directorySearcher.Filter = string.Format("(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=user) (sAMAccountName={0}))", username);

directorySearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress");

var result = directorySearcher.FindOne();

if(result != null)
{
   if(result.Properties["msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress"] != null)
   {
      var resultValue = result.Properties["msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress"][0];
   }
}

My idea is: why not tell the DirectorySearcher right off the bat what attribute you're interested in? Then you don't need to do another extra step to get the full DirectoryEntry from the search result (should be faster), and since you told the directory searcher to find that property, it's certainly going to be loaded in the search result - so unless it's null (no value set), then you should be able to retrieve it easily.

Adding elements to object

Try this:

var data = [{field:"Data",type:"date"},  {field:"Numero",type:"number"}];

var columns = {};

var index = 0;

$.each(data, function() {

    columns[index] = {
        field : this.field,
        type : this.type
    };

    index++;
});

console.log(columns);

How do I serialize an object and save it to a file in Android?

I use SharePrefrences:

package myapps.serializedemo;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

//Create the SharedPreferences
    SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = this.getSharedPreferences("myapps.serilizerdemo", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    ArrayList<String> friends = new ArrayList<>();
    friends.add("Jack");
    friends.add("Joe");
    try {

 //Write / Serialize
 sharedPreferences.edit().putString("friends",
    ObjectSerializer.serialize(friends)).apply();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
//READ BACK
    ArrayList<String> newFriends = new ArrayList<>();
    try {
        newFriends = (ArrayList<String>) ObjectSerializer.deserialize(
                sharedPreferences.getString("friends", ObjectSerializer.serialize(new ArrayList<String>())));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Log.i("***NewFriends", newFriends.toString());
}
}

How to remove all callbacks from a Handler?

In my experience calling this worked great!

handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);

In the docs for removeCallbacksAndMessages it says...

Remove any pending posts of callbacks and sent messages whose obj is token. If token is null, all callbacks and messages will be removed.

Assert an object is a specific type

Solution for JUnit 5 for Kotlin!

Example for Hamcrest:

import org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers
import org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test

class HamcrestAssertionDemo {

    @Test
    fun assertWithHamcrestMatcher() {
        val subClass = SubClass()
        MatcherAssert.assertThat(subClass, CoreMatchers.instanceOf<Any>(BaseClass::class.java))
    }

}

Example for AssertJ:

import org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test

class AssertJDemo {

    @Test
    fun assertWithAssertJ() {
        val subClass = SubClass()
        assertThat(subClass).isInstanceOf(BaseClass::class.java)
    }

}

jQuery - Call ajax every 10 seconds

This worked for me

setInterval(ajax_query, 10000);

function ajax_query(){
   //Call ajax here
}

iPhone App Minus App Store?

It's worth noting that if you go the jailbroken route, it's possible (likely?) that an iPhone OS update would kill your ability to run these apps. I'd go the official route and pay the $99 to get authorized. In addition to not having to worry about your apps being clobbered, you also get the opportunity (should you choose) to release your apps on the store.

Python class returning value

the worked proposition for me is __call__ on class who create list of little numbers:

import itertools
    
class SmallNumbers:
    def __init__(self, how_much):
        self.how_much = int(how_much)
        self.work_list = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
        self.generated_list = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
        start = 10
        end = 100
        for cmb in range(2, len(str(self.how_much)) + 1):
            self.ListOfCombinations(is_upper_then=start, is_under_then=end, combinations=cmb)
            start *= 10
            end *= 10

    def __call__(self, number, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.generated_list[number]

    def ListOfCombinations(self, is_upper_then, is_under_then, combinations):
        multi_work_list = eval(str('self.work_list,') * combinations)
        nbr = 0
        for subset in itertools.product(*multi_work_list):
            if is_upper_then <= nbr < is_under_then:
                self.generated_list.append(''.join(subset))
                if self.how_much == nbr:
                    break
            nbr += 1

and to run it:

if __name__ == '__main__':
        sm = SmallNumbers(56)
        print(sm.generated_list)
        print(sm.generated_list[34], sm.generated_list[27], sm.generated_list[10])
        print('The Best', sm(15), sm(55), sm(49), sm(0))

result

['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12', '13', '14', '15', '16', '17', '18', '19', '20', '21', '22', '23', '24', '25', '26', '27', '28', '29', '30', '31', '32', '33', '34', '35', '36', '37', '38', '39', '40', '41', '42', '43', '44', '45', '46', '47', '48', '49', '50', '51', '52', '53', '54', '55', '56']

input type="submit" Vs button tag are they interchangeable?

The <input type="button"> is just a button and won't do anything by itself. The <input type="submit">, when inside a form element, will submit the form when clicked.

Another useful 'special' button is the <input type="reset"> that will clear the form.

Where does Hive store files in HDFS?

If you look at the hive-site.xml file you will see something like this

<property>
   <name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name>
   <value>/usr/hive/warehouse </value>
   <description>location of the warehouse directory</description>
 </property>

/usr/hive/warehouse is the default location for all managed tables. External tables may be stored at a different location.

describe formatted <table_name> is the hive shell command which can be use more generally to find the location of data pertaining to a hive table.

onclick event pass <li> id or value

<li>s don't have a value - only form inputs do. In fact, you're not supposed to even include the value attribute in the HTML for <li>s.

You can rely on .innerHTML instead:

getPaging(this.innerHTML)

Or maybe the id:

getPaging(this.id);

However, it's easier (and better practice) to add the click handlers from JavaScript code, and not include them in the HTML. Seeing as you're already using jQuery, this can easily be done by changing your HTML to:

<li class="clickMe">1</li>
<li class="clickMe">2</li>

And use the following JavaScript:

$(function () {
    $('.clickMe').click(function () {
        var str = $(this).text();
        $('#loading-content').load('dataSearch.php?' + str, hideLoader);
    });
});

This will add the same click handler to all your <li class="clickMe">s, without requiring you to duplicate your onclick="getPaging(this.value)" code for each of them.

How to correctly use the ASP.NET FileUpload control

My solution in code behind was:

System.Web.UI.WebControls.FileUpload fileUpload;

I don't know why, but when you are using FileUpload without System.Web.UI.WebControls it is referencing to YourProject.FileUpload not System.Web.UI.WebControls.FileUpload.

DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString(); replace month and day

Use DateTime.ToString with the specified format MM.dd.yyyy:

this.TextBox3.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM.dd.yyyy");

Here, MM means the month from 01 to 12, dd means the day from 01 to 31 and yyyy means the year as a four-digit number.

How can I select multiple columns from a subquery (in SQL Server) that should have one record (select top 1) for each record in the main query?

i think that is what you want.

SELECT 
      A.SalesOrderID, 
      A.OrderDate, 
      FooFromB.*

FROM A,
     (SELECT TOP 1 B.Foo
      FROM B
      WHERE A.SalesOrderID = B.SalesOrderID
      ) AS FooFromB

WHERE A.Date BETWEEN '2000-1-4' AND '2010-1-4'

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xa3' in file when function returns '£'

You're probably trying to run Python 3 file with Python 2 interpreter. Currently (as of 2019), python command defaults to Python 2 when both versions are installed, on Windows and most Linux distributions.

But in case you're indeed working on a Python 2 script, a not yet mentioned on this page solution is to resave the file in UTF-8+BOM encoding, that will add three special bytes to the start of the file, they will explicitly inform the Python interpreter (and your text editor) about the file encoding.

Dynamic creation of table with DOM

when you say 'appendchild' you actually move your child from one parent to another. you have to create a node for each cell.

Laravel 5.4 redirection to custom url after login

If you look in the AuthenticatesUsers trait you will see that in the sendLoginResponse method that there is a call made to $this->redirectPath(). If you look at this method then you will discover that the redirectTo can either be a method or a variable.

This is what I now have in my auth controller.

public function redirectTo() {
    $user = Auth::user();
    switch(true) {
        case $user->isInstructor():
            return '/instructor';
        case $user->isAdmin():
        case $user->isSuperAdmin():
            return '/admin';
        default:
            return '/account';
    }
}

How to access JSON Object name/value?

You might want to try this approach:

var  str ="{ "name" : "user"}";
var jsonData = JSON.parse(str);     
console.log(jsonData.name)
//Array Object
str ="[{ "name" : "user"},{ "name" : "user2"}]";
jsonData = JSON.parse(str);     
console.log(jsonData[0].name)

How do I link to Google Maps with a particular longitude and latitude?

Find your location in the Google Earth program, and click the icon "View in Google Maps". The URL bar in your browser will show the URL you need.

DLL References in Visual C++

The additional include directories are relative to the project dir. This is normally the dir where your project file, *.vcproj, is located. I guess that in your case you have to add just "include" to your include and library directories.

If you want to be sure what your project dir is, you can check the value of the $(ProjectDir) macro. To do that go to "C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories", press the "..." button and in the pop-up dialog press "Macros>>".

How to get a vCard (.vcf file) into Android contacts from website

I had problems with importing a VERSION:4.0 vcard file on Android 7 (LineageOS) with the standard Contacts app.

Since this is on the top search hits for "android vcard format not supported", I just wanted to note that I was able to import them with the Simple Contacts app (Play or F-Droid).

Place API key in Headers or URL

Detecting when a div's height changes using jQuery

You can use the DOMSubtreeModified event

$(something).bind('DOMSubtreeModified' ...

But this will fire even if the dimensions don't change, and reassigning the position whenever it fires can take a performance hit. In my experience using this method, checking whether the dimensions have changed is less expensive and so you might consider combining the two.

Or if you are directly altering the div (rather than the div being altered by user input in unpredictable ways, like if it is contentEditable), you can simply fire a custom event whenever you do so.

Downside: IE and Opera don't implement this event.

inserting characters at the start and end of a string

If you want to insert other string somewhere else in existing string, you may use selection method below.

Calling character on second position:

>>> s = "0123456789"
>>> s[2]
'2'

Calling range with start and end position:

>>> s[4:6]
'45'

Calling part of a string before that position:

>>> s[:6]
'012345'

Calling part of a string after that position:

>>> s[4:]
'456789'

Inserting your string in 5th position.

>>> s = s[:5] + "L" + s[5:]
>>> s
'01234L56789'

Also s is equivalent to s[:].

With your question you can use all your string, i.e.

>>> s = "L" + s + "LL"

or if "L" is a some other string (for example I call it as l), then you may use that code:

>>> s = l + s + (l * 2)

How to run a command as a specific user in an init script?

Modify a Column's Type in sqlite3

It is possible by dumping, editing and reimporting the table.

This script will do it for you (Adapt the values at the start of the script to your needs):

#!/bin/bash

DB=/tmp/synapse/homeserver.db
TABLE="public_room_list_stream"
FIELD=visibility
OLD="BOOLEAN NOT NULL"
NEW="INTEGER NOT NULL"
TMP=/tmp/sqlite_$TABLE.sql

echo "### create dump"
echo ".dump '$TABLE'" | sqlite3 "$DB" >$TMP

echo "### editing the create statement"
sed -i "s|$FIELD $OLD|$FIELD $NEW|g" $TMP

read -rsp $'Press any key to continue deleting and recreating the table $TABLE ...\n' -n1 key 

echo "### rename the original to '$TABLE"_backup"'"
sqlite3 "$DB" "PRAGMA busy_timeout=20000; ALTER TABLE '$TABLE' RENAME TO '$TABLE"_backup"'"

echo "### delete the old indexes"
for idx in $(echo "SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type == 'index' AND tbl_name LIKE '$TABLE""%';" | sqlite3 $DB); do
  echo "DROP INDEX '$idx';" | sqlite3 $DB
done

echo "### reinserting the edited table"
cat $TMP | sqlite3 $DB

How can I decrypt a password hash in PHP?

Bcrypt is a one-way hashing algorithm, you can't decrypt hashes. Use password_verify to check whether a password matches the stored hash:

<?php
// See the password_hash() example to see where this came from.
$hash = '$2y$07$BCryptRequires22Chrcte/VlQH0piJtjXl.0t1XkA8pw9dMXTpOq';

if (password_verify('rasmuslerdorf', $hash)) {
    echo 'Password is valid!';
} else {
    echo 'Invalid password.';
}

In your case, run the SQL query using only the username:

$sql_script = 'SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE username=?';

And do the password validation in PHP using a code that is similar to the example above.

The way you are constructing the query is very dangerous. If you don't parameterize the input properly, the code will be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. See this Stack Overflow answer on how to prevent SQL injection.

Using Python to execute a command on every file in a folder

Reporting Services permissions on SQL Server R2 SSRS

This did the trick for me. http://thecodeattic.wordpress.com/category/ssrs/. Go down to step 35 to see the error you are getting. Paraphrasing:

Once you're able to log in to YourServer/Reports as an administrator, click Home in the top-right corner, then Folder Settings and New Role Assignment. Enter your user name and check a box for each role you want to grant yourself. Finally, click OK. You should now be able to browse folders without launching your browser with elevated privileges.

Don't forget to set the security at the site level **AND ** at the folder level. I hope that helps.

Get selected value in dropdown list using JavaScript

The previous answers still leave room for improvement because of the possibilities, the intuitiveness of the code, and the use of id versus name. One can get a read-out of three data of a selected option -- its index number, its value and its text. This simple, cross-browser code does all three:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Demo GetSelectOptionData</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form name="demoForm">
        <select name="demoSelect" onchange="showData()">
            <option value="zilch">Select:</option>
            <option value="A">Option 1</option>
            <option value="B">Option 2</option>
            <option value="C">Option 3</option>
        </select>
    </form>

    <p id="firstP">&nbsp;</p>
    <p id="secondP">&nbsp;</p>
    <p id="thirdP">&nbsp;</p>

    <script>
    function showData() {
        var theSelect = demoForm.demoSelect;
        var firstP = document.getElementById('firstP');
        var secondP = document.getElementById('secondP');
        var thirdP = document.getElementById('thirdP');
        firstP.innerHTML = ('This option\'s index number is: ' + theSelect.selectedIndex + ' (Javascript index numbers start at 0)');
        secondP.innerHTML = ('Its value is: ' + theSelect[theSelect.selectedIndex].value);
        thirdP.innerHTML = ('Its text is: ' + theSelect[theSelect.selectedIndex].text);
    }
     </script>
</body>

id should be used for make-up purposes. For functional form purposes, name is still valid, also in HTML5, and should still be used. Lastly, mind the use of square versus round brackets in certain places. As was explained before, only (older versions of) Internet Explorer will accept round ones in all places.

XAMPP PORT 80 is Busy / EasyPHP error in Apache configuration file:

Port 80 might be busy with other application like IIS. If you don't want to stop it, you can change the apache port. Here is the way..

  1. go to the C:\xampp\apache\conf (directory where you installed xampp). Now, locate the httpd.conf.
  2. Open it with any text editor (like notepad) and go the line that says Listen 80
  3. Change this with any other port (like Listen 1234)
  4. Save the file. Restart the server and go ahead.

Auto start node.js server on boot

I would recommend installing your node.js app as a Windows service, and then set the service to run at startup. That should make it a bit easier to control the startup action by using the Windows Services snapin rather than having to add or remove batch files in the Startup folder.

Another service-related question in Stackoverflow provided a couple of (apprently) really good options. Check out How to install node.js as a Windows Service. node-windows looks really promising to me. As an aside, I used similar tools for Java apps that needed to run as services. It made my life a whole lot easier. Hope this helps.

Facebook user url by id

The marked answer seems outdated and it won't work.

Facebook now only gives unique ID related to app which isn't equal to userId and profileUrl and username will come out to be empty.

Doing me?fields=id,name,links is also depreciated after Graph Version 2.4

The only option now is to request for user_links permission from your developer console.

What are the ways to make an html link open a folder

Using file:///// just doesn't work if security settings are set to even a moderate level.

If you just want users to be able to download/view files* located on a network or share you can set up a Virtual Directory in IIS. On the Properties tab make sure the "A share located on another computer" is selected and the "Connect as..." is an account that can see the network location.

Link to the virtual directory from your webpage (e.g. http://yoursite/yourvirtualdir/) and this will open up a view of the directory in the web browser.

*You can allow write permissions on the virtual directory to allow users to add files but not tried it and assume network permissions would override this setting.

What command means "do nothing" in a conditional in Bash?

The no-op command in shell is : (colon).

if [ "$a" -ge 10 ]
then
    :
elif [ "$a" -le 5 ]
then
    echo "1"
else
    echo "2"
fi

From the bash manual:

: (a colon)
Do nothing beyond expanding arguments and performing redirections. The return status is zero.

Default optional parameter in Swift function

Optionals and default parameters are two different things.

An Optional is a variable that can be nil, that's it.

Default parameters use a default value when you omit that parameter, this default value is specified like this: func test(param: Int = 0)

If you specify a parameter that is an optional, you have to provide it, even if the value you want to pass is nil. If your function looks like this func test(param: Int?), you can't call it like this test(). Even though the parameter is optional, it doesn't have a default value.

You can also combine the two and have a parameter that takes an optional where nil is the default value, like this: func test(param: Int? = nil).

How do I add multiple conditions to "ng-disabled"?

Wanny is correct. The && operator doesn't work in HTML. With Angular, you must use the double pipes (||)for multiple conditions.

How to provide animation when calling another activity in Android?

Since API 16 you can supply an activity options bundle when calling Context.startActivity(Intent, Bundle) or related methods. It is created via the ActivityOptions builder:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
ActivityOptions options = 
   ActivityOptions.makeCustomAnimation(context, R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);
context.startActivity(myIntent, options.toBundle());

Don't forget to check out the other methods of the ActivityOptions builder and the ActivityOptionsCompat if you are using the Support Library.



API 5+:

For apps targeting API level 5+ there is the Activities overridePendingTransition method. It takes two resource IDs for the incoming and outgoing animations. An id of 0 will disable the animations. Call this immediately after the startActivity call.

i.e.:

startActivity(new Intent(this, MyActivity.class));
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);

API 3+:

You can prevent the default animation (Slide in from the right) with the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION flag in your intent.

i.e.:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
context.startActivity(myIntent);

then in your Activity you simply have to specify your own animation.

This also works for the 1.5 API (Level 3).

Naming Conventions: What to name a boolean variable?

Haskell uses init to refer to all but the last element of a list (the inverse of tail, basically); would isInInit work, or is that too opaque?

How to form tuple column from two columns in Pandas

Pandas has the itertuples method to do exactly this:

list(df[['lat', 'long']].itertuples(index=False, name=None))

How to search for a string inside an array of strings

You can use Array.prototype.find function in javascript. Array find MDN.

So to find string in array of string, the code becomes very simple. Plus as browser implementation, it will provide good performance.

Ex.

var strs = ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'jkl', 'mno'];
var value = 'abc';
strs.find(
    function(str) {
        return str == value;
    }
);

or using lambda expression it will become much shorter

var strs = ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'jkl', 'mno'];
var value = 'abc';
strs.find((str) => str === value);

How to make a Generic Type Cast function

Something like this?

public static T ConvertValue<T>(string value)
{
    return (T)Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T));
}

You can then use it like this:

int val = ConvertValue<int>("42");

Edit:

You can even do this more generic and not rely on a string parameter provided the type U implements IConvertible - this means you have to specify two type parameters though:

public static T ConvertValue<T,U>(U value) where U : IConvertible
{
    return (T)Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T));
}

I considered catching the InvalidCastException exception that might be raised by Convert.ChangeType() - but what would you return in this case? default(T)? It seems more appropriate having the caller deal with the exception.

How to download a file over HTTP?

urlretrieve and requests.get are simple, however the reality not. I have fetched data for couple sites, including text and images, the above two probably solve most of the tasks. but for a more universal solution I suggest the use of urlopen. As it is included in Python 3 standard library, your code could run on any machine that run Python 3 without pre-installing site-package

import urllib.request
url_request = urllib.request.Request(url, headers=headers)
url_connect = urllib.request.urlopen(url_request)

#remember to open file in bytes mode
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
    while True:
        buffer = url_connect.read(buffer_size)
        if not buffer: break

        #an integer value of size of written data
        data_wrote = f.write(buffer)

#you could probably use with-open-as manner
url_connect.close()

This answer provides a solution to HTTP 403 Forbidden when downloading file over http using Python. I have tried only requests and urllib modules, the other module may provide something better, but this is the one I used to solve most of the problems.

How can I make a ComboBox non-editable in .NET?

To continue displaying data in the input after selecting, do so:

VB.NET
Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.KeyPress
    e.Handled = True
End Sub



C#
Private void ComboBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    e.Handled = true;
}

Real world use of JMS/message queues?

Use them all the time to process long-running operations asynchronously. A web user won't want to wait for more than 5 seconds for a request to process. If you have one that runs longer than that, one design is to submit the request to a queue and immediately send back a URL that the user can check to see when the job is finished.

Publish/subscribe is another good technique for decoupling senders from many receivers. It's a flexible architecture, because subscribers can come and go as needed.

How can I find the version of the Fedora I use?

These commands worked for Artik 10 :

  • cat /etc/fedora-release
  • cat /etc/issue
  • hostnamectl

and these others didn't :

  • lsb_release -a
  • uname -a
