Insert variable into Header Location PHP

<?php
$variable1 = "foo";
$variable2 = "bar";


header('Location: http://linkhere.com?fieldname1=$variable1&fieldname2=$variable2&fieldname3=$variable3);

?>

This works without any quotations.

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory while using python subprocess in Django

Can't upvote so I'll repost @jfs comment cause I think it should be more visible.

@AnneTheAgile: shell=True is not required. Moreover you should not use it unless it is necessary (see @ valid's comment). You should pass each command-line argument as a separate list item instead e.g., use ['command', 'arg 1', 'arg 2'] instead of "command 'arg 1' 'arg 2'". – jfs Mar 3 '15 at 10:02

How do you create an asynchronous HTTP request in JAVA?

Apache HttpComponents also have an async http client now too:

/**
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
      <artifactId>httpasyncclient</artifactId>
      <version>4.0-beta4</version>
    </dependency>
**/

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.CharBuffer;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.CloseableHttpAsyncClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.HttpAsyncClients;
import org.apache.http.nio.IOControl;
import org.apache.http.nio.client.methods.AsyncCharConsumer;
import org.apache.http.nio.client.methods.HttpAsyncMethods;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext;

public class HttpTest {

  public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {

    final CloseableHttpAsyncClient httpclient = HttpAsyncClients
        .createDefault();
    httpclient.start();
    try {
      final Future<Boolean> future = httpclient.execute(
          HttpAsyncMethods.createGet("http://www.google.com/"),
          new MyResponseConsumer(), null);
      final Boolean result = future.get();
      if (result != null && result.booleanValue()) {
        System.out.println("Request successfully executed");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Request failed");
      }
      System.out.println("Shutting down");
    } finally {
      httpclient.close();
    }
    System.out.println("Done");
  }

  static class MyResponseConsumer extends AsyncCharConsumer<Boolean> {

    @Override
    protected void onResponseReceived(final HttpResponse response) {
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCharReceived(final CharBuffer buf, final IOControl ioctrl)
        throws IOException {
      while (buf.hasRemaining()) {
        System.out.print(buf.get());
      }
    }

    @Override
    protected void releaseResources() {
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean buildResult(final HttpContext context) {
      return Boolean.TRUE;
    }
  }
}

Allow only numbers and dot in script

Sending HTML Code Through JSON

You can send it as a String, why not. But you are probably missusing JSON here a bit since as far as I understand the point is to send just the data needed and wrap them into HTML on the client.

Bulk package updates using Conda

# list packages that can be updated
conda search --outdated

# update all packages prompted(by asking the user yes/no)
conda update --all

# update all packages unprompted
conda update --all -y

Verify if file exists or not in C#

You could use:

System.IO.File.Exists(@"c:\temp\test.txt");

Batch file script to zip files

I like PodTech.io's answer to achieve this without additional tools. For me, it did not run out of the box, so I had to slightly change it. I am not sure if the command wScript.Sleep 12000 (12 sec delay) in the original script is required or not, so I kept it.

Here's the modified script Zip.cmd based on his answer, which works fine on my end:

@echo off   
if "%1"=="" goto end

setlocal
set TEMPDIR=%TEMP%\ZIP
set FILETOZIP=%1
set OUTPUTZIP=%2.zip
if "%2"=="" set OUTPUTZIP=%1.zip

:: preparing VBS script
echo Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments > _zipIt.vbs
echo InputFolder = objArgs(0) >> _zipIt.vbs
echo ZipFile = objArgs(1) >> _zipIt.vbs
echo Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") >> _zipIt.vbs
echo Set objZipFile = fso.CreateTextFile(ZipFile, True) >> _zipIt.vbs
echo objZipFile.Write "PK" ^& Chr(5) ^& Chr(6) ^& String(18, vbNullChar) >> _zipIt.vbs
echo objZipFile.Close >> _zipIt.vbs
echo Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application") >> _zipIt.vbs
echo Set source = objShell.NameSpace(InputFolder).Items >> _zipIt.vbs
echo Set objZip = objShell.NameSpace(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(ZipFile)) >> _zipIt.vbs
echo if not (objZip is nothing) then  >> _zipIt.vbs
echo    objZip.CopyHere(source) >> _zipIt.vbs
echo    wScript.Sleep 12000 >> _zipIt.vbs
echo end if >> _zipIt.vbs

@ECHO Zipping, please wait...
mkdir %TEMPDIR%
xcopy /y /s %FILETOZIP% %TEMPDIR%
WScript _zipIt.vbs  %TEMPDIR%  %OUTPUTZIP%
del _zipIt.vbs
rmdir /s /q  %TEMPDIR%

@ECHO ZIP Completed.
:end

Usage:

  • One parameter (no wildcards allowed here):

    Zip FileToZip.txt

    will create FileToZip.txt.zip in the same folder containing the zipped file FileToZip.txt.

  • Two parameters (optionally with wildcards for the first parameter), e.g.

    Zip *.cmd Scripts

    creates Scripts.zip in the same folder containing all matching *.cmd files.


Note: If you want to debug the VBS script, check out this hint, it describes how to activate the debugger to go through it step by step.

Sort a list by multiple attributes?

There is a operator < between lists e.g.:

[12, 'tall', 'blue', 1] < [4, 'tall', 'blue', 13]

will give

FROM YourReportQuery

After installing SQL Server 2014 Express can't find local db

I have noticed that after installation of SQL server 2012 express on Windows 10 you must install ENU\x64\SqlLocalDB.MSI from official Microsoft download site. After that, you could run SqlLocalDB.exe.

Opacity of background-color, but not the text

Thanks @davy-landmann for https://stackoverflow.com/a/638064/417153. That's what I was looking for! Same effect with LESS code:

Get int value from enum in C#

Use:

Question question = Question.Role;
int value = question.GetHashCode();

It will result in value == 2.

This is only true if the enum fits inside an int.

Error: class X is public should be declared in a file named X.java

From Ubuntu command line:

//WeatherArray.java
public class WeatherArray {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("....Hello World");
}}

ls

WeatherArray.java

javac WeatherArray.java

ls

WeatherArray.java WeatherArray.class

java WeatherArray

....Hello World

Of course if you name your java file with different name than WeatherArray, you need to take out public and it would be:

// Sunny.java
class WeatherArray {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("....Hello World"); }}
// javac Sunny.java; java WeatherArray

Encode/Decode URLs in C++

The Windows API has the functions UrlEscape/UrlUnescape, exported by shlwapi.dll, for this task.

Replace substring with another substring C++

Boost String Algorithms Library way:

#include <boost/algorithm/string/replace.hpp>

{ // 1. 
  string test = "abc def abc def";
  boost::replace_all(test, "abc", "hij");
  boost::replace_all(test, "def", "klm");
}


{ // 2.
  string test = boost::replace_all_copy
  (  boost::replace_all_copy<string>("abc def abc def", "abc", "hij")
  ,  "def"
  ,  "klm"
  );
}

'Conda' is not recognized as internal or external command

If you have a newer version of the Anaconda Navigator, open the Anaconda Prompt program that came in the install. Type all the usual conda update/conda install commands there.

I think the answers above explain this, but I could have used a very simple instruction like this. Perhaps it will help others.

Insert results of a stored procedure into a temporary table

If the query doesn't contain parameter, use OpenQuery else use OpenRowset.

Basic thing would be to create schema as per stored procedure and insert into that table. e.g.:

DECLARE @abc TABLE(
                  RequisitionTypeSourceTypeID INT
                , RequisitionTypeID INT
                , RequisitionSourcingTypeID INT
                , AutoDistOverride INT
                , AllowManagerToWithdrawDistributedReq INT
                , ResumeRequired INT
                , WarnSupplierOnDNRReqSubmission  INT
                , MSPApprovalReqd INT
                , EnableMSPSupplierCounterOffer INT
                , RequireVendorToAcceptOffer INT
                , UseCertification INT
                , UseCompetency INT
                , RequireRequisitionTemplate INT
                , CreatedByID INT
                , CreatedDate DATE
                , ModifiedByID INT
                , ModifiedDate DATE
                , UseCandidateScheduledHours INT
                , WeekEndingDayOfWeekID INT
                , AllowAutoEnroll INT
                )
INSERT INTO @abc
EXEC [dbo].[usp_MySp] 726,3
SELECT * FROM @abc

How to launch PowerShell (not a script) from the command line

The color and window sizing are defined by the shortcut LNK file. I think I found a way that will do what you need, try this:

explorer.exe "Windows PowerShell.lnk"

The LNK file is in the all user start menu which is located in different places depending whether your on XP or Windows 7. In 7 the LNK file is here:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Windows PowerShell

Truncating Text in PHP?

$text="abc1234567890";

// truncate to 4 chars

echo substr(str_pad($text,4),0,4);

This avoids the problem of truncating a 4 char string to 10 chars .. (i.e. source is smaller than the required)

Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric

Use TRY_CAST function in exact same way of CAST function. TRY_CAST takes a string and tries to cast it to a data type specified after the AS keyword. If the conversion fails, TRY_CAST returns a NULL instead of failing.

Uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex (NameError)

If you want to keep your version same like rails will be 2.3.8 and gem version will be latest. You can use this solution Latest gem with Rails2.x. in this some changes in boot.rb file and environment.rb file.

require 'thread' in boot.rb file at the top.

and in environment.rb file add the following code above the initializer block.

if Gem::Version.new(Gem::VERSION) >= Gem::Version.new('1.3.7')
 module Rails
   class GemDependency
     def requirement
       r = super
       (r == Gem::Requirement.default) ? nil : r
     end
   end
 end
end

Is it possible to append Series to rows of DataFrame without making a list first?

Maybe an easier way would be to add the pandas.Series into the pandas.DataFrame with ignore_index=True argument to DataFrame.append(). Example -

DF = DataFrame()
for sample,data in D_sample_data.items():
    SR_row = pd.Series(data.D_key_value)
    DF = DF.append(SR_row,ignore_index=True)

Demo -

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame([[1,2],[3,4]],columns=['A','B'])

In [3]: df
Out[3]:
   A  B
0  1  2
1  3  4

In [5]: s = pd.Series([5,6],index=['A','B'])

In [6]: s
Out[6]:
A    5
B    6
dtype: int64

In [36]: df.append(s,ignore_index=True)
Out[36]:
   A  B
0  1  2
1  3  4
2  5  6

Another issue in your code is that DataFrame.append() is not in-place, it returns the appended dataframe, you would need to assign it back to your original dataframe for it to work. Example -

DF = DF.append(SR_row,ignore_index=True)

To preserve the labels, you can use your solution to include name for the series along with assigning the appended DataFrame back to DF. Example -

DF = DataFrame()
for sample,data in D_sample_data.items():
    SR_row = pd.Series(data.D_key_value,name=sample)
    DF = DF.append(SR_row)
DF.head()

Regular Expression to match string starting with a specific word

If you want the word to start with "stop", you can use the following pattern. "^stop.*"

This will match words starting with stop followed by anything.

how to set default method argument values?

If your arguments are the same type you could use varargs:

public int something(int... args) {
    int a = 0;
    int b = 0;
    if (args.length > 0) {
      a = args[0];
    }
    if (args.length > 1) {
      b = args[1];
    }
    return a + b
}

but this way you lose the semantics of the individual arguments, or

have a method overloaded which relays the call to the parametered version

public int something() {
  return something(1, 2);
}

or if the method is part of some kind of initialization procedure, you could use the builder pattern instead:

class FoodBuilder {
   int saltAmount;
   int meatAmount;
   FoodBuilder setSaltAmount(int saltAmount) {
       this.saltAmount = saltAmount;
       return this;
   }
   FoodBuilder setMeatAmount(int meatAmount) {
       this.meatAmount = meatAmount;
       return this;
   }
   Food build() {
       return new Food(saltAmount, meatAmount);
   }
}

Food f = new FoodBuilder().setSaltAmount(10).build();
Food f2 = new FoodBuilder().setSaltAmount(10).setMeatAmount(5).build();

Then work with the Food object

int doSomething(Food f) {
    return f.getSaltAmount() + f.getMeatAmount();
}

The builder pattern allows you to add/remove parameters later on and you don't need to create new overloaded methods for them.

How to capture a list of specific type with mockito

List<String> mockedList = mock(List.class);

List<String> l = new ArrayList();
l.add("someElement");

mockedList.addAll(l);

ArgumentCaptor<List> argumentCaptor = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(List.class);

verify(mockedList).addAll(argumentCaptor.capture());

List<String> capturedArgument = argumentCaptor.<List<String>>getValue();

assertThat(capturedArgument, hasItem("someElement"));

Send HTTP POST message in ASP.NET Core using HttpClient PostAsJsonAsync

Microsoft now recommends using an IHttpClientFactory with the following benefits:

  • Provides a central location for naming and configuring logical HttpClient instances. For example, a client named github could be registered and configured to access GitHub. A default client can be registered for general access.
  • Codifies the concept of outgoing middleware via delegating handlers in HttpClient. Provides extensions for Polly-based middleware to take advantage of delegating handlers in HttpClient.
  • Manages the pooling and lifetime of underlying HttpClientMessageHandler instances. Automatic management avoids common DNS (Domain Name System) problems that occur when manually managing HttpClient lifetimes.
  • Adds a configurable logging experience (via ILogger) for all requests sent through clients created by the factory.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/http-requests?view=aspnetcore-3.1

Setup:

public class Startup
{
    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }

    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddHttpClient();
        // Remaining code deleted for brevity.

POST example:

public class BasicUsageModel : PageModel
{
    private readonly IHttpClientFactory _clientFactory;

    public BasicUsageModel(IHttpClientFactory clientFactory)
    {
        _clientFactory = clientFactory;
    }
    
    public async Task CreateItemAsync(TodoItem todoItem)
    {
        var todoItemJson = new StringContent(
            JsonSerializer.Serialize(todoItem, _jsonSerializerOptions),
            Encoding.UTF8,
            "application/json");
            
        var httpClient = _clientFactory.CreateClient();
        
        using var httpResponse =
            await httpClient.PostAsync("/api/TodoItems", todoItemJson);
    
        httpResponse.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
    }

Use images instead of radio buttons

Keep radio buttons hidden, and on clicking of images, select them using JavaScript and style your image so that it look like selected. Here is the markup -

<div id="radio-button-wrapper">
    <span class="image-radio">
        <input name="any-name" style="display:none" type="radio"/>
        <img src="...">
    </span>
    <span class="image-radio">
        <input name="any-name" style="display:none" type="radio"/>
        <img src="...">
    </span>
</div>

and JS

 $(".image-radio img").click(function(){
     $(this).prev().attr('checked',true);
 })

CSS

span.image-radio input[type="radio"]:checked + img{
    border:1px solid red;
}

How can I create a dynamically sized array of structs?

For the test code: if you want to modify a pointer in a function, you should pass a "pointer to pointer" to the function. Corrected code is as follows:

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

typedef struct
{
    char *str1;
    char *str2;
} words;

void LoadData(words**, int*);

main()
{
    words **x;
    int num;

    LoadData(x, &num);

    printf("%s %s\n", (*x[0]).str1, (*x[0]).str2);
    printf("%s %s\n", (*x[1]).str1, (*x[1]).str2);
}

void LoadData(words **x, int *num)
{
    *x = (words*) malloc(sizeof(words));

    (*x[0]).str1 = "johnnie\0";
    (*x[0]).str2 = "krapson\0";

    *x = (words*) realloc(*x, sizeof(words) * 2);
    (*x[1]).str1 = "bob\0";
    (*x[1]).str2 = "marley\0";

    *num = *num + 1;
}

Access nested dictionary items via a list of keys?

How about check and then set dict element without processing all indexes twice?

Solution:

def nested_yield(nested, keys_list):
    """
    Get current nested data by send(None) method. Allows change it to Value by calling send(Value) next time
    :param nested: list or dict of lists or dicts
    :param keys_list: list of indexes/keys
    """
    if not len(keys_list):  # assign to 1st level list
        if isinstance(nested, list):
            while True:
                nested[:] = yield nested
        else:
            raise IndexError('Only lists can take element without key')


    last_key = keys_list.pop()
    for key in keys_list:
        nested = nested[key]

    while True:
        try:
            nested[last_key] = yield nested[last_key]
        except IndexError as e:
            print('no index {} in {}'.format(last_key, nested))
            yield None

Example workflow:

ny = nested_yield(nested_dict, nested_address)
data_element = ny.send(None)
if data_element:
    # process element
    ...
else:
    # extend/update nested data
    ny.send(new_data_element)
    ...
ny.close()

Test

>>> cfg= {'Options': [[1,[0]],[2,[4,[8,16]]],[3,[9]]]}
    ny = nested_yield(cfg, ['Options',1,1,1])
    ny.send(None)
[8, 16]
>>> ny.send('Hello!')
'Hello!'
>>> cfg
{'Options': [[1, [0]], [2, [4, 'Hello!']], [3, [9]]]}
>>> ny.close()

How to automate browsing using python?

The best solution that i have found (and currently implementing) is : - scripts in python using selenium webdriver - PhantomJS headless browser (if firefox is used you will have a GUI and will be slower)

How to set DataGrid's row Background, based on a property value using data bindings

In XAML, add and define a RowStyle Property for the DataGrid with a goal to set the Background of the Row, to the Color defined in my Employee Object.

<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="EmployeeList">
   <DataGrid.RowStyle>
        <Style TargetType="DataGridRow">
             <Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding ColorSet}"/>
        </Style>
   </DataGrid.RowStyle>

And in my Employee Class

public class Employee {

    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }

    public string ColorSet { get; set; }

    public Employee() { }

    public Employee(int id, string name, int age)
    {
        Id = id;
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        if (Age > 50)
        {
            ColorSet = "Green";
        }
        else if (Age > 100)
        {
            ColorSet = "Red";
        }
        else
        {
            ColorSet = "White";
        }
    }
}

This way every Row of the DataGrid has the BackGround Color of the ColorSet Property of my Object.

How do I print a double value without scientific notation using Java?

Java/Kotlin compiler converts any value greater than 9999999 (greater than or equal to 10 million) to scientific notation ie. Epsilion notation.

Ex: 12345678 is converted to 1.2345678E7

Use this code to avoid automatic conversion to scientific notation:

fun setTotalSalesValue(String total) {
        var valueWithoutEpsilon = total.toBigDecimal()
        /* Set the converted value to your android text view using setText() function */
        salesTextView.setText( valueWithoutEpsilon.toPlainString() )
    }

How can I implement rate limiting with Apache? (requests per second)

Depends on why you want to rate limit.

If it's to protect against overloading the server, it actually makes sense to put NGINX in front of it, and configure rate limiting there. It makes sense because NGINX uses much less resources, something like a few MB per ten thousand connections. So, if the server is flooded, NGINX will do the rate limiting(using an insignificant amount of resources) and only pass the allowed traffic to Apache.

If all you're after is simplicity, then use something like mod_evasive.

As usual, if it's to protect against DDoS or DoS attacks, use a service like Cloudflare which also has rate limiting.

Install npm (Node.js Package Manager) on Windows (w/o using Node.js MSI)

Try going to Window -> Preferences -> Nodeclipse and unchecking the box that says "find node on PATH...". Then make sure the "Node.js path" below is set to the location of the node.exe file (for me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node.exe).

Replacing spaces with underscores in JavaScript?

Just using replace:

_x000D_

var text = 'Hello World';_x000D_
    _x000D_
new_text = text.replace(' ', '_');_x000D_
    _x000D_
console.log(new_text);

How to set the timeout for a TcpClient?

If using async & await and desire to use a time out without blocking, then an alternative and simpler approach from the answer provide by mcandal is to execute the connect on a background thread and await the result. For example:

Task<bool> t = Task.Run(() => client.ConnectAsync(ipAddr, port).Wait(1000));
await t;
if (!t.Result)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Connect timed out");
   return; // Set/return an error code or throw here.
}
// Successful Connection - if we get to here.

See the Task.Wait MSDN article for more info and other examples.

Python RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in long scalars

Here's an example which issues the same warning:

import numpy as np
np.seterr(all='warn')
A = np.array([10])
a=A[-1]
a**a

yields

RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in long_scalars

In the example above it happens because a is of dtype int32, and the maximim value storable in an int32 is 2**31-1. Since 10**10 > 2**32-1, the exponentiation results in a number that is bigger than that which can be stored in an int32.

Note that you can not rely on np.seterr(all='warn') to catch all overflow errors in numpy. For example, on 32-bit NumPy

>>> np.multiply.reduce(np.arange(21)+1)
-1195114496

while on 64-bit NumPy:

>>> np.multiply.reduce(np.arange(21)+1)
-4249290049419214848

Both fail without any warning, although it is also due to an overflow error. The correct answer is that 21! equals

In [47]: import math

In [48]: math.factorial(21)
Out[50]: 51090942171709440000L

According to numpy developer, Robert Kern,

Unlike true floating point errors (where the hardware FPU sets a flag whenever it does an atomic operation that overflows), we need to implement the integer overflow detection ourselves. We do it on the scalars, but not arrays because it would be too slow to implement for every atomic operation on arrays.

So the burden is on you to choose appropriate dtypes so that no operation overflows.

Python NameError: name is not defined

Note that sometimes you will want to use the class type name inside its own definition, for example when using Python Typing module, e.g.

class Tree:
    def __init__(self, left: Tree, right: Tree):
        self.left = left
        self.right = right

This will also result in

NameError: name 'Tree' is not defined

That's because the class has not been defined yet at this point. The workaround is using so called Forward Reference, i.e. wrapping a class name in a string, i.e.

class Tree:
    def __init__(self, left: 'Tree', right: 'Tree'):
        self.left = left
        self.right = right

A full list of all the new/popular databases and their uses?

To file under both 'established' and 'key-value store': Berkeley DB.

Has transactions and replication. Usually linked as a lib (no standalone server, although you may write one). Values and keys are just binary strings, you can provide a custom sorting function for them (where applicable).

Does not prevent from shooting yourself in the foot. Switch off locking/transaction support, access the db from two threads at once, end up with a corrupt file.

Change limit for "Mysql Row size too large"

I ran into this problem recently and solved it a different way. If you are running MySQL version 5.6.20 there is a known bug in the system. See MySQL docs

Important Due to Bug #69477, redo log writes for large, externally stored BLOB fields could overwrite the most recent checkpoint. To address this bug, a patch introduced in MySQL 5.6.20 limits the size of redo log BLOB writes to 10% of the redo log file size. As a result of this limit, innodb_log_file_size should be set to a value greater than 10 times the largest BLOB data size found in the rows of your tables plus the length of other variable length fields (VARCHAR, VARBINARY, and TEXT type fields).

In my situation the offending blob table was around 16MB. Thus, the way I solved it was by adding a line to my.cnf that ensured I had at least 10x that amount and then some:

innodb_log_file_size = 256M

Using GroupBy, Count and Sum in LINQ Lambda Expressions

    var ListByOwner = list.GroupBy(l => l.Owner)
                          .Select(lg => 
                                new { 
                                    Owner = lg.Key, 
                                    Boxes = lg.Count(),
                                    TotalWeight = lg.Sum(w => w.Weight), 
                                    TotalVolume = lg.Sum(w => w.Volume) 
                                });

sql select with column name like

Blorgbeard had a great answer for SQL server. If you have a MySQL server like mine then the following will allow you to select the information from columns where the name is like some key phrase. You just have to substitute the table name, database name, and keyword.

SET @columnnames = (SELECT concat("`",GROUP_CONCAT(`COLUMN_NAME` SEPARATOR "`, `"),"`") 
FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`COLUMNS` 
WHERE `TABLE_SCHEMA`='your_database' 
    AND `TABLE_NAME`='your_table'
    AND COLUMN_NAME LIKE "%keyword%");

SET @burrito = CONCAT("SELECT ",@columnnames," FROM your_table");

PREPARE result FROM @burrito;
EXECUTE result;

Python - Passing a function into another function

Just pass it in, like this:

Game(list_a, list_b, Rule1)

and then your Game function could look something like this (still pseudocode):

def Game(listA, listB, rules=None):
    if rules:
        # do something useful
        # ...
        result = rules(variable) # this is how you can call your rule
    else:
        # do something useful without rules

How can I access localhost from another computer in the same network?

localhost is a special hostname that almost always resolves to 127.0.0.1. If you ask someone else to connect to http://localhost they'll be connecting to their computer instead or yours.

To share your web server with someone else you'll need to find your IP address or your hostname and provide that to them instead. On windows you can find this with ipconfig /all on a command line.

You'll also need to make sure any firewalls you may have configured allow traffic on port 80 to connect to the WAMP server.

Select first row in each GROUP BY group?

This is common problem, which already has well tested and highly optimized solutions. Personally I prefer the left join solution by Bill Karwin (the original post with lots of other solutions).

Note that bunch of solutions to this common problem can surprisingly be found in the one of most official sources, MySQL manual! See Examples of Common Queries :: The Rows Holding the Group-wise Maximum of a Certain Column.

Very simple C# CSV reader

You can try the some thing like the below LINQ snippet.

string[] allLines = File.ReadAllLines(@"E:\Temp\data.csv");

    var query = from line in allLines
                let data = line.Split(',')
                select new
                {
                    Device = data[0],
                    SignalStrength = data[1],
                    Location = data[2], 
                    Time = data[3],
                    Age = Convert.ToInt16(data[4])
                };

UPDATE: Over a period of time, things evolved. As of now, I would prefer to use this library http://www.aspnetperformance.com/post/LINQ-to-CSV-library.aspx

How to embed a YouTube channel into a webpage

Seems like the accepted answer does not work anymore. I found the correct method from another post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46811403/6368026

Now you should use:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=USERID And the USERID is your youtube user id with 'UU' appended.

For example, if your user id is TlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg then you should put UUTlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg. If you only have the channel id (which you can find in your channel URL) then just replace the first two characters (UC) with UU.

So in the end you would have an URL like this:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=UUTlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg

How can one use multi threading in PHP applications

While you can't thread, you do have some degree of process control in php. The two function sets that are useful here are:

Process control functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcntl.php

POSIX functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.posix.php

You could fork your process with pcntl_fork - returning the PID of the child. Then you can use posix_kill to despose of that PID.

That said, if you kill a parent process a signal should be sent to the child process telling it to die. If php itself isn't recognising this you could register a function to manage it and do a clean exit using pcntl_signal.

Setting the User-Agent header for a WebClient request

I found that the WebClient kept removing my User-Agent header after one request and I was tired of setting it each time. I used a hack to set the User-Agent permanently by making my own custom WebClient and overriding the GetWebRequest method. Hope this helps.

public class CustomWebClient : WebClient
{
    public CustomWebClient(){}

    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
    {
        var request = base.GetWebRequest(address) as HttpWebRequest;
        request.UserAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/6.0;)";

        //... your other custom code...

        return request;
    }
}

Contains case insensitive

It's 2016, and there's no clear way of how to do this? I was hoping for some copypasta. I'll have a go.

Design notes: I wanted to minimize memory usage, and therefore improve speed - so there is no copying/mutating of strings. I assume V8 (and other engines) can optimise this function.

//TODO: Performance testing
String.prototype.naturalIndexOf = function(needle) {
    //TODO: guard conditions here
    
    var haystack = this; //You can replace `haystack` for `this` below but I wan't to make the algorithm more readable for the answer
    var needleIndex = 0;
    var foundAt = 0;
    for (var haystackIndex = 0; haystackIndex < haystack.length; haystackIndex++) {
        var needleCode = needle.charCodeAt(needleIndex);
        if (needleCode >= 65 && needleCode <= 90) needleCode += 32; //ToLower. I could have made this a function, but hopefully inline is faster and terser
        var haystackCode = haystack.charCodeAt(haystackIndex);
        if (haystackCode >= 65 && haystackCode <= 90) haystackCode += 32; //ToLower. I could have made this a function, but hopefully inline is faster and terser
        
        //TODO: code to detect unicode characters and fallback to toLowerCase - when > 128?
        //if (needleCode > 128 || haystackCode > 128) return haystack.toLocaleLowerCase().indexOf(needle.toLocaleLowerCase();
        if (haystackCode !== needleCode)
        {
            foundAt = haystackIndex;
            needleIndex = 0; //Start again
        }
        else
            needleIndex++;
            
        if (needleIndex == needle.length)
            return foundAt;
    }
    
    return -1;
}

My reason for the name:

  • Should have IndexOf in the name
  • Don't add a suffix word - IndexOf refers to the following parameter. So prefix something instead.
  • Don't use "caseInsensitive" prefix would be sooooo long
  • "natural" is a good candidate, because default case sensitive comparisons are not natural to humans in the first place.

Why not...:

  • toLowerCase() - potential repeated calls to toLowerCase on the same string.
  • RegExp - awkward to search with variable. Even the RegExp object is awkward having to escape characters

How do you import an Eclipse project into Android Studio now?

Stop installing android studio 3.0.1 and go back 2.3.3 ( Stable version) . Check for the stable version and you can find them a lot

All you have to do uninstall and go back to the other version. Yes it asks to create gradle file seperately which is completely new to me!

Failure is the stepping stone for success..

Xcode project not showing list of simulators

In my case I had created a static library target for tvOS in Xcode 8.3.3, and the tvOS simulator was not showing up in the list. Eventually found out that TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY in the Build Settings was set to 1,2 instead of 3. Leaving this here incase anyone else encounters the same problem.

How do you use $sce.trustAsHtml(string) to replicate ng-bind-html-unsafe in Angular 1.2+

For Rails (at least in my case) if you are using the angularjs-rails gem, please remember to add the sanitize module

//= require angular
//= require angular-sanitize

And then load it up in your app...

var myDummyApp = angular.module('myDummyApp', ['ngSanitize']);

Then you can do the following:

On the template:

%span{"ng-bind-html"=>"phone_with_break(x)"}

And eventually:

$scope.phone_with_break = function (x) {
  if (x.phone != "") {
   return x.phone + "<br>";
  }
  return '';
}

How to set an environment variable from a Gradle build?

For a test task, you can use the environment property like this:

test {
  environment "VAR", "val"
}

you can also use the environment property in an exec task

task dropDatabase(type: Exec) {
    environment "VAR", "val"
    commandLine "doit"
}

Note that with this method the environment variables are set only during the task.

Force IE10 to run in IE10 Compatibility View?

I had the exact same problem, this - "meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">" works great in IE8 and IE9, but not in IE10. There is a bug in the server browser definition files that shipped with .NET 2.0 and .NET 4, namely that they contain definitions for a certain range of browser versions. But the versions for some browsers (like IE 10) aren't within those ranges any more. Therefore, ASP.NET sees them as unknown browsers and defaults to a down-level definition, which has certain inconveniences, like that it does not support features like JavaScript.

My thanks to Scott Hanselman for this fix.

Here is the link -

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BugAndFixASPNETFailsToDetectIE10CausingDoPostBackIsUndefinedJavaScriptErrorOrMaintainFF5ScrollbarPosition.aspx

This MS KP fix just adds missing files to the asp.net on your server. I installed it and rebooted my server and it now works perfectly. I would have thought that MS would have given this fix a wider distribution.

How to abort makefile if variable not set?

For simplicity and brevity:

$ cat Makefile
check-%:
        @: $(if $(value $*),,$(error $* is undefined))

bar:| check-foo
        echo "foo is $$foo"

With outputs:

$ make bar
Makefile:2: *** foo is undefined. Stop.
$ make bar foo="something"
echo "foo is $$foo"
foo is something

How to disable text selection highlighting

NOTE:

The correct answer is correct in that it prevents you from being able to select the text. However, it does not prevent you from being able to copy the text, as I'll show with the next couple of screenshots (as of 7th Nov 2014).

Before we have selected anything

After we have selected

The numbers have been copied

As you can see, we were unable to select the numbers, but we were able to copy them.

Tested on: Ubuntu, Google Chrome 38.0.2125.111.

How can I parse a String to BigDecimal?

Try the correct constructor http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/math/BigDecimal.html#BigDecimal(java.lang.String)

You can directly instanciate the BigDecimal with the String ;)

Example:

BigDecimal bigDecimalValue= new BigDecimal("0.5");

How to call VS Code Editor from terminal / command line

For command line heads you can also run

sudo ln -s "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code" /usr/local/bin/code

this will do the exact same thing as the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command feature in VSCode.

How do I capture the output of a script if it is being ran by the task scheduler?

You can write to a log file on the lines that you want to output like this:

@echo off
echo Debugging started >C:\logfile.txt
echo More stuff
echo Debugging stuff >>C:\logfile.txt
echo Hope this helps! >>C:\logfile.txt

This way you can choose which commands to output if you don't want to trawl through everything, just get what you need to see. The > will output it to the file specified (creating the file if it doesn't exist and overwriting it if it does). The >> will append to the file specified (creating the file if it doesn't exist but appending to the contents if it does).

Uploading files to file server using webclient class

Just use

File.Copy(filepath, "\\\\192.168.1.28\\Files");

A windows fileshare exposed via a UNC path is treated as part of the file system, and has nothing to do with the web.

The credentials used will be that of the ASP.NET worker process, or any impersonation you've enabled. If you can tweak those to get it right, this can be done.

You may run into problems because you are using the IP address instead of the server name (windows trust settings prevent leaving the domain - by using IP you are hiding any domain details). If at all possible, use the server name!

If this is not on the same windows domain, and you are trying to use a different domain account, you will need to specify the username as "[domain_or_machine]\[username]"

If you need to specify explicit credentials, you'll need to look into coding an impersonation solution.

Is there a Sleep/Pause/Wait function in JavaScript?

You can't (and shouldn't) block processing with a sleep function. However, you can use setTimeout to kick off a function after a delay:

setTimeout(function(){alert("hi")}, 1000);

Depending on your needs, setInterval might be useful, too.

How to set time to midnight for current day?

Try this:

DateTime Date = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-DateTime.Now.Hour).AddMinutes(-DateTime.Now.Minute)
   .AddSeconds(-DateTime.Now.Second);

Output will be like:

07/29/2015 00:00:00

Move SQL Server 2008 database files to a new folder location

To add the privileges needed to the files add and grant right to the following local user: SQLServerMSSQLUser$COMPUTERNAME$INSTANCENAME, where COMPUTERNAME and INSTANCENAME has to be replaced with name of computer and MSSQL instance respectively.

How to send emails from my Android application?

    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Write your Pubg user name or Phone Number");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));**strong text**

jQuery Validation plugin: disable validation for specified submit buttons

Add formnovalidate attribute to input

    <input type="submit" name="go" value="Submit"> 
    <input type="submit" formnovalidate name="cancel" value="Cancel"> 

Adding class="cancel" is now deprecated

See docs for Skipping validation on submit on this link

How do I force files to open in the browser instead of downloading (PDF)?

If you are using HTML5 (and I guess nowadays everyone uses that), there is an attribute called download.

For example,

<a href="somepathto.pdf" download="filename">

Here filename is optional, but if provided, it will take this name for the downloaded file.

How to add a button dynamically in Android?

Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setText("Push Me");

LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.buttonlayout);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll.addView(myButton, lp);

How do I remove the non-numeric character from a string in java?

One more approach for removing all non-numeric characters from a string:

String newString = oldString.replaceAll("[^0-9]", "");

convert string to number node.js

Not a full answer Ok so this is just to supplement the information about parseInt, which is still very valid. Express doesn't allow the req or res objects to be modified at all (immutable). So if you want to modify/use this data effectively, you must copy it to another variable (var year = req.params.year).

Responding with a JSON object in Node.js (converting object/array to JSON string)

You have to use the JSON.stringify() function included with the V8 engine that node uses.

var objToJson = { ... };
response.write(JSON.stringify(objToJson));

Edit: As far as I know, IANA has officially registered a MIME type for JSON as application/json in RFC4627. It is also is listed in the Internet Media Type list here.

Jquery insert new row into table at a certain index

Adding on to Nick Craver's answer and also considering the point raised by rossisdead, if scenario exists like one has to append to an empty table, or before a certain row, I have done like this:

var arr = []; //array
if (your condition) {
  arr.push(row.id); //push row's id for eg: to the array
  idx = arr.sort().indexOf(row.id);

  if (idx === 0) {   
    if (arr.length === 1) {  //if array size is only 1 (currently pushed item)
        $("#tableID").append(row);
    }
    else {       //if array size more than 1, but index still 0, meaning inserted row must be the first row
       $("#tableID tr").eq(idx + 1).before(row);
    }   
  }          
  else {     //if index is greater than 0, meaning inserted row to be after specified index row
      $("#tableID tr").eq(idx).after(row);
  }    
}

Hope it helps someone.

oracle SQL how to remove time from date

If your column with DATE datatype has value like below : -

value in column : 10-NOV-2005 06:31:00

Then, You can Use TRUNC function in select query to convert your date-time value to only date like - DD/MM/YYYY or DD-MON-YYYY

select TRUNC(column_1) from table1;

result : 10-NOV-2005

You will see above result - Provided that NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set as like below :-

Alter session NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';

How do I run a terminal inside of Vim?

I acknowledge that I am not strictly answering your question, but what has worked better for me when using Vim and Terminals in the same window is Tmux (which is kind of a "run in the background software" like, similar to screen, although this one works better with splits and tabs).

This post will help you to understand how they work together: 'Tmux and Vim — even better together'.

This way we can convert Vim into a powerful IDE

just copy it and past... your code.. it will work.. and then you understand how to pass string array as a parameter ...

Thank you

async at console app in C#?

In most project types, your async "up" and "down" will end at an async void event handler or returning a Task to your framework.

However, Console apps do not support this.

You can either just do a Wait on the returned task:

static void Main()
{
  MainAsync().Wait();
  // or, if you want to avoid exceptions being wrapped into AggregateException:
  //  MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}

static async Task MainAsync()
{
  ...
}

or you can use your own context like the one I wrote:

static void Main()
{
  AsyncContext.Run(() => MainAsync());
}

static async Task MainAsync()
{
  ...
}

More information for async Console apps is on my blog.

PHP passing $_GET in linux command prompt

php file_name.php var1 var2 varN

Then set your $_GET variables on your first line in PHP, although this is not the desired way of setting a $_GET variable and you may experience problems depending on what you do later with that variable.

if (isset($argv[1])) {
   $_GET['variable_name'] = $argv[1];
}

the variables you launch the script with will be accessible from the $argv array in your PHP app. the first entry will the name of the script they came from, so you may want to do an array_shift($argv) to drop that first entry if you want to process a bunch of variables. Or just load into a local variable.

Retrieving Android API version programmatically

As described in the Android documentation, the SDK level (integer) the phone is running is available in:

android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

The class corresponding to this int is in the android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES class.

Code example:

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
    // Do something for lollipop and above versions
} else{
    // do something for phones running an SDK before lollipop
}

Edit: This SDK_INT is available since Donut (android 1.6 / API4) so make sure your application is not retro-compatible with Cupcake (android 1.5 / API3) when you use it or your application will crash (thanks to Programmer Bruce for the precision).

Corresponding android documentation is here and here

Downloading an entire S3 bucket?

As Neel Bhaat has explained in this blog, there are many different tools that can be used for this purpose. Some are AWS provided, where most are third party tools. All these tools require you to save your AWS account key and secret in the tool itself. Be very cautious when using third party tools, as the credentials you save in might cost you, your entire worth and drop you dead.

Therefore, I always recommend using the AWS CLI for this purpose. You can simply install this from this link. Next, run the following command and save your key, secret values in AWS CLI.

aws configure

And use the following command to sync your AWS S3 Bucket to your local machine. (The local machine should have AWS CLI installed)

aws s3 sync <source> <destination>

Examples:

1) For AWS S3 to Local Storage

aws s3 sync <S3Uri> <LocalPath>

2) From Local Storage to AWS S3

aws s3 sync <LocalPath> <S3Uri>

3) From AWS s3 bucket to another bucket

aws s3 sync <S3Uri> <S3Uri>

How do I get the value of a registry key and ONLY the value using powershell

Harry Martyrossian mentions in a comment on his own answer that the
Get-ItemPropertyValue cmdlet was introduced in Powershell v5, which solves the problem:

PS> Get-ItemPropertyValue 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion' 'ProgramFilesDir'
C:\Program Files

Alternatives for PowerShell v4-:

Here's an attempt to retain the efficiency while eliminating the need for repetition of the value name, which, however, is still a little cumbersome:

& { (Get-ItemProperty `
      -LiteralPath HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion `
      -Name $args `
    ).$args } 'ProgramFilesDir'

By using a script block, the value name can be passed in once as a parameter, and the parameter variable ($args) can then simply be used twice inside the block.

Alternatively, a simple helper function can ease the pain:

function Get-RegValue([String] $KeyPath, [String] $ValueName) {
  (Get-ItemProperty -LiteralPath $KeyPath -Name $ValueName).$ValueName
}

Note: All solutions above bypass the problem described in Ian Kemp's's answer - the need to use explicit quoting for certain value names when used as property names; e.g., .'15.0' - because the value names are passed as parameters and property access happens via a variable; e.g., .$ValueName


As for the other answers:

  • Andy Arismendi's helpful answer explains the annoyance with having to repeat the value name in order to get the value data efficiently.
  • M Jeremy Carter's helpful answer is more convenient, but can be a performance pitfall for keys with a large number of values, because an object with a large number of properties must be constructed.

What is the difference between 'typedef' and 'using' in C++11?

Both keywords are equivalent, but there are a few caveats. One is that declaring a function pointer with using T = int (*)(int, int); is clearer than with typedef int (*T)(int, int);. Second is that template alias form is not possible with typedef. Third is that exposing C API would require typedef in public headers.

for or while loop to do something n times

The fundamental difference in most programming languages is that unless the unexpected happens a for loop will always repeat n times or until a break statement, (which may be conditional), is met then finish with a while loop it may repeat 0 times, 1, more or even forever, depending on a given condition which must be true at the start of each loop for it to execute and always false on exiting the loop, (for completeness a do ... while loop, (or repeat until), for languages that have it, always executes at least once and does not guarantee the condition on the first execution).

It is worth noting that in Python a for or while statement can have break, continue and else statements where:

  • break - terminates the loop
  • continue - moves on to the next time around the loop without executing following code this time around
  • else - is executed if the loop completed without any break statements being executed.

N.B. In the now unsupported Python 2 range produced a list of integers but you could use xrange to use an iterator. In Python 3 range returns an iterator.

So the answer to your question is 'it all depends on what you are trying to do'!

How to delete Tkinter widgets from a window?

One way you can do it, is to get the slaves list from the frame that needs to be cleared and destroy or "hide" them according to your needs. To get a clear frame you can do it like this:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def clear():
    list = root.grid_slaves()
    for l in list:
        l.destroy()

Label(root,text='Hello World!').grid(row=0)
Button(root,text='Clear',command=clear).grid(row=1)

root.mainloop()

You should call grid_slaves(), pack_slaves() or slaves() depending on the method you used to add the widget to the frame.

How to compare two object variables in EL expression language?

In Expression Language you can just use the == or eq operator to compare object values. Behind the scenes they will actually use the Object#equals(). This way is done so, because until with the current EL 2.1 version you cannot invoke methods with other signatures than standard getter (and setter) methods (in the upcoming EL 2.2 it would be possible).

So the particular line

<c:when test="${lang}.equals(${pageLang})">

should be written as (note that the whole expression is inside the { and })

<c:when test="${lang == pageLang}">

or, equivalently

<c:when test="${lang eq pageLang}">

Both are behind the scenes roughly interpreted as

jspContext.findAttribute("lang").equals(jspContext.findAttribute("pageLang"))

If you want to compare constant String values, then you need to quote it

<c:when test="${lang == 'en'}">

or, equivalently

<c:when test="${lang eq 'en'}">

which is behind the scenes roughly interpreted as

jspContext.findAttribute("lang").equals("en")

How to maintain state after a page refresh in React.js?

I consider state to be for view only information and data that should persist beyond the view state is better stored as props. URL params are useful when you want to be able to link to a page or share the URL deep in to the app but otherwise clutter the address bar.

How large is a DWORD with 32- and 64-bit code?

Actually, on 32-bit computers a word is 32-bit, but the DWORD type is a leftover from the good old days of 16-bit.

In order to make it easier to port programs to the newer system, Microsoft has decided all the old types will not change size.

You can find the official list here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383751(VS.85).aspx

All the platform-dependent types that changed with the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit end with _PTR (DWORD_PTR will be 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and 64-bit on 64-bit Windows).

How to remove spaces from a string using JavaScript?

Regex + Replace()

Although regex can be slower, in many use cases the developer is only manipulating a few strings at once so considering speed is irrelevant. Even though / / is faster than /\s/, having the '\s' explains what is going on to another developer perhaps more clearly.

let string = '/var/www/site/Brand new document.docx';
let path = string.replace(/\s/g, '');
// path => '/var/www/site/Brandnewdocument.docx'

Split() + Join()

Using Split + Join allows for further chained manipulation of the string.

let string = '/var/www/site/Brand new document.docx';
let path => string.split('').map(char => /(\s|\.)/.test(char) ? '/' : char).join('');
// "/var/www/site/Brand/new/document/docx";

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Read error: ssl=0x9524b800: I/O error during system call, Connection reset by peer

Android Supports SSL implementation by default except for Android N (API level 24) and below Android 5.1 (API level 22)
I was getting the error when making the API call below API level 22 devices after implementing SSL at the server side; that was while creating OkHttpClient client object, and fixed by adding connectionSpecs() method OkHttpClient.Builder class.

the error received was

response failure: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0xb8882c00: I/O error during system call, Connection reset by peer

so I fixed this by added the check like

if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
            // Do something for below api level 22
            List<ConnectionSpec> specsList = getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1(okb);
            if (specsList != null) {
                okb.connectionSpecs(specsList);
            }
        }

Also for the Android N (API level 24); I was getting the error while making the HTTP call like

HTTP FAILED: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Handshake failed

and this is fixed by adding the check for Android 7 particularly, like

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.N){
            // Do something for naugat ; 7
            okb.connectionSpecs(Collections.singletonList(getSpec()));
        }

So my final OkHttpClient object will be like:

         OkHttpClient client
         HttpLoggingInterceptor httpLoggingInterceptor2 = new
         HttpLoggingInterceptor();
         httpLoggingInterceptor2.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);

         OkHttpClient.Builder okb = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                 .addInterceptor(httpLoggingInterceptor2)
               .addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
                     @Override
                     public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
                         Request request = chain.request();
                         Request request2 = request.newBuilder().addHeader(AUTH_KEYWORD, AUTH_TYPE_JW + " " + password).build();
                         return chain.proceed(request2);
                     }
                 }).connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                 .writeTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                 .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

         if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.N){
             // Do something for naugat ; 7
             okb.connectionSpecs(Collections.singletonList(getSpec()));
         }

         if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
             List<ConnectionSpec> specsList = getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1(okb);
             if (specsList != null) {
                 okb.connectionSpecs(specsList);
             }
         }

         //init client
         client = okb.build();

getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1 function be like,

   private List<ConnectionSpec> getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1(OkHttpClient.Builder okb) {

        try {

            SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2");
            sc.init(null, null, null);
            okb.sslSocketFactory(new Tls12SocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory()));

            ConnectionSpec cs = new ConnectionSpec.Builder(ConnectionSpec.MODERN_TLS)
                    .tlsVersions(TlsVersion.TLS_1_2)
                    .build();

            List<ConnectionSpec> specs = new ArrayList<>();
            specs.add(cs);
            specs.add(ConnectionSpec.COMPATIBLE_TLS);

            return specs;

        } catch (Exception exc) {
            Timber.e("OkHttpTLSCompat Error while setting TLS 1.2"+ exc);

            return null;
        }
    }

Passing route control with optional parameter after root in express?

That would work depending on what client.get does when passed undefined as its first parameter.

Something like this would be safer:

app.get('/:key?', function(req, res, next) {
    var key = req.params.key;
    if (!key) {
        next();
        return;
    }
    client.get(key, function(err, reply) {
        if(client.get(reply)) {
            res.redirect(reply);
        }
        else {
            res.render('index', {
                link: null
            });
        }
    });
});

There's no problem in calling next() inside the callback.

According to this, handlers are invoked in the order that they are added, so as long as your next route is app.get('/', ...) it will be called if there is no key.

Is "else if" faster than "switch() case"?

Technically, they produce the exact same result so they should be optimizable in pretty much the same way. However, there are more chances that the compiler will optimize the switch case with a jump table than the ifs.

I'm talking about the general case here. For 5 entries, the average number of tests performed for the ifs should be less than 2.5, assuming you order the conditions by frequency. Hardly a bottleneck to write home about unless in a very tight loop.

Should I use SVN or Git?

Here is a copy of an answer I made of some duplicate question since then deleted about Git vs. SVN (September 2009).

Better? Aside from the usual link WhyGitIsBetterThanX, they are different:

one is a Central VCS based on cheap copy for branches and tags the other (Git) is a distributed VCS based on a graph of revisions. See also Core concepts of VCS.


That first part generated some mis-informed comments pretending that the fundamental purpose of the two programs (SVN and Git) is the same, but that they have been implemented quite differently.
To clarify the fundamental difference between SVN and Git, let me rephrase:

  • SVN is the third implementation of a revision control: RCS, then CVS and finally SVN manage directories of versioned data. SVN offers VCS features (labeling and merging), but its tag is just a directory copy (like a branch, except you are not "supposed" to touch anything in a tag directory), and its merge is still complicated, currently based on meta-data added to remember what has already been merged.

  • Git is a file content management (a tool made to merge files), evolved into a true Version Control System, based on a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) of commits, where branches are part of the history of datas (and not a data itself), and where tags are a true meta-data.

To say they are not "fundamentally" different because you can achieve the same thing, resolve the same problem, is... plain false on so many levels.

  • if you have many complex merges, doing them with SVN will be longer and more error prone. if you have to create many branches, you will need to manage them and merge them, again much more easily with Git than with SVN, especially if a high number of files are involved (the speed then becomes important)
  • if you have partial merges for a work in progress, you will take advantage of the Git staging area (index) to commit only what you need, stash the rest, and move on on another branch.
  • if you need offline development... well with Git you are always "online", with your own local repository, whatever the workflow you want to follow with other repositories.

Still the comments on that old (deleted) answer insisted:

VonC: You are confusing fundamental difference in implementation (the differences are very fundamental, we both clearly agree on this) with difference in purpose.
They are both tools used for the same purpose: this is why many teams who've formerly used SVN have quite successfully been able to dump it in favor of Git.
If they didn't solve the same problem, this substitutability wouldn't exist.

, to which I replied:

"substitutability"... interesting term (used in computer programming).
Off course, Git is hardly a subtype of SVN.

You may achieve the same technical features (tag, branch, merge) with both, but Git does not get in your way and allow you to focus on the content of the files, without thinking about the tool itself.

You certainly cannot (always) just replace SVN by Git "without altering any of the desirable properties of that program (correctness, task performed, ...)" (which is a reference to the aforementioned substitutability definition):

  • One is an extended revision tool, the other a true version control system.
  • One is suited small to medium monolithic project with simple merge workflow and (not too much) parallel versions. SVN is enough for that purpose, and you may not need all the Git features.
  • The other allows for medium to large projects based on multiple components (one repo per component), with large number of files to merges between multiple branches in a complex merge workflow, parallel versions in branches, retrofit merges, and so on. You could do it with SVN, but you are much better off with Git.
    SVN simply can not manage any project of any size with any merge workflow. Git can.

Again, their nature is fundamentally different (which then leads to different implementation but that is not the point).
One see revision control as directories and files, the other only see the content of the file (so much so that empty directories won't even register in Git!).

The general end-goal might be the same, but you cannot use them in the same way, nor can you solve the same class of problem (in scope or complexity).

Pandas read_sql with parameters

The read_sql docs say this params argument can be a list, tuple or dict (see docs).

To pass the values in the sql query, there are different syntaxes possible: ?, :1, :name, %s, %(name)s (see PEP249).
But not all of these possibilities are supported by all database drivers, which syntax is supported depends on the driver you are using (psycopg2 in your case I suppose).

In your second case, when using a dict, you are using 'named arguments', and according to the psycopg2 documentation, they support the %(name)s style (and so not the :name I suppose), see http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/usage.html#query-parameters.
So using that style should work:

df = psql.read_sql(('select "Timestamp","Value" from "MyTable" '
                     'where "Timestamp" BETWEEN %(dstart)s AND %(dfinish)s'),
                   db,params={"dstart":datetime(2014,6,24,16,0),"dfinish":datetime(2014,6,24,17,0)},
                   index_col=['Timestamp'])

TypeError: $ is not a function when calling jQuery function

You can avoid confliction like this

var jq=jQuery.noConflict();
jq(document).ready(function(){  
  alert("Hi this will not conflict now");
  jq('selector').show();

Is it possible to send a variable number of arguments to a JavaScript function?

Yes you can pass variable no. of arguments to a function. You can use apply to achieve this.

E.g.:

var arr = ["Hi","How","are","you"];

function applyTest(){
    var arg = arguments.length;
    console.log(arg);
}

applyTest.apply(null,arr);

       DOB date);

insert into Customer values(1,'Vishnu', TO_DATE('1994/12/16 12:00:00', 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss'));

design a stack such that getMinimum( ) should be O(1)

Here is the C++ implementation of Jon Skeets Answer. It might not be the most optimal way of implementing it, but it does exactly what it's supposed to.

class Stack {
private:
    struct stack_node {
        int val;
        stack_node *next;
    };
    stack_node *top;

        stack_node *new_node = nullptr;
        new_node = new stack_node;

        } else {
            new_node->next = top;
            top = new_node;

            if (new_node->val <= min_top->val) {
                new_node->next = min_top;
                min_top = new_node;
            }
        }
    }

    void pop(int &num) {
        stack_node *tmp_node = nullptr;
        stack_node *min_tmp = nullptr;

        if (is_empty()) {
            std::cout << "It's empty\n";
        } else {
            num = top->val;
            if (top->val == min_top->val) {
                min_tmp = min_top->next;
                delete min_top;
                min_top = min_tmp;
            }
            tmp_node = top->next;
            delete top;
            top = tmp_node;
        }
    }

    bool is_empty() const {
        return !top;
    }

    void get_min(int &item) {
        item = min_top->val;
    }
};

And here is the driver for the class

int main() {
    int pop, min_el;
    Stack my_stack;

    my_stack.push(4);
    my_stack.push(6);
    my_stack.push(88);
    my_stack.push(1);
    my_stack.push(234);
    my_stack.push(2);

    my_stack.get_min(min_el);
    cout << "Min: " << min_el << endl;

    my_stack.pop(pop);
    cout << "Popped stock element: " << pop << endl;

    my_stack.pop(pop);
    cout << "Popped stock element: " << pop << endl;

    my_stack.pop(pop);
    cout << "Popped stock element: " << pop << endl;

    my_stack.get_min(min_el);
    cout << "Min: " << min_el << endl;

    return 0;
}

Output:

Min: 1
Popped stock element: 2
Popped stock element: 234
Popped stock element: 1
Min: 4

Correct way to try/except using Python requests module?

One additional suggestion to be explicit. It seems best to go from specific to general down the stack of errors to get the desired error to be caught, so the specific ones don't get masked by the general one.

url='http://www.google.com/blahblah'

try:
    r = requests.get(url,timeout=3)
    r.raise_for_status()
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as errh:
    print ("Http Error:",errh)
except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError as errc:
    print ("Error Connecting:",errc)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout as errt:
    print ("Timeout Error:",errt)
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:
    print ("OOps: Something Else",err)

Http Error: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: http://www.google.com/blahblah

vs

url='http://www.google.com/blahblah'

    r = requests.get(url,timeout=3)
    r.raise_for_status()
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:
    print ("OOps: Something Else",err)
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as errh:
    print ("Http Error:",errh)
except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError as errc:
    print ("Error Connecting:",errc)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout as errt:
    print ("Timeout Error:",errt)

    on t1.email = t2.email   

Valid characters in a Java class name

Further to previous answers its worth noting that:

  1. Java allows any Unicode currency symbol in symbol names, so the following will all work:

$var1 £var2 €var3

I believe the usage of currency symbols originates in C/C++, where variables added to your code by the compiler conventionally started with '$'. An obvious example in Java is the names of '.class' files for inner classes, which by convention have the format 'Outer$Inner.class'

  1. Many C# and C++ programmers adopt the convention of placing 'I' in front of interfaces (aka pure virtual classes in C++). This is not required, and hence not done, in Java because the implements keyword makes it very clear when something is an interface.

Compare:

class Employee : public IPayable //C++

with

class Employee : IPayable //C#

and

class Employee implements Payable //Java

  1. Many projects use the convention of placing an underscore in front of field names, so that they can readily be distinguished from local variables and parameters e.g.

private double _salary;

A tiny minority place the underscore after the field name e.g.

private double salary_;

Sorting a Python list by two fields

like this:

import operator
list1 = sorted(csv1, key=operator.itemgetter(1, 2))

Saving an Object (Data persistence)

You could use the pickle module in the standard library. Here's an elementary application of it to your example:

import pickle

class Company(object):
    def __init__(self, name, value):
        self.name = name
        self.value = value

with open('company_data.pkl', 'wb') as output:
    company1 = Company('banana', 40)
    pickle.dump(company1, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

    company2 = Company('spam', 42)
    pickle.dump(company2, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

del company1
del company2

with open('company_data.pkl', 'rb') as input:
    company1 = pickle.load(input)
    print(company1.name)  # -> banana
    print(company1.value)  # -> 40

    company2 = pickle.load(input)
    print(company2.name) # -> spam
    print(company2.value)  # -> 42

You could also define your own simple utility like the following which opens a file and writes a single object to it:

def save_object(obj, filename):
    with open(filename, 'wb') as output:  # Overwrites any existing file.
        pickle.dump(obj, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

# sample usage
save_object(company1, 'company1.pkl')

Update

Since this is such a popular answer, I'd like touch on a few slightly advanced usage topics.

cPickle (or _pickle) vs pickle

It's almost always preferable to actually use the cPickle module rather than pickle because the former is written in C and is much faster. There are some subtle differences between them, but in most situations they're equivalent and the C version will provide greatly superior performance. Switching to it couldn't be easier, just change the import statement to this:

import cPickle as pickle

In Python 3, cPickle was renamed _pickle, but doing this is no longer necessary since the pickle module now does it automatically—see What difference between pickle and _pickle in python 3?.

The rundown is you could use something like the following to ensure that your code will always use the C version when it's available in both Python 2 and 3:

try:
    import cPickle as pickle
except ModuleNotFoundError:
    import pickle

Data stream formats (protocols)

pickle can read and write files in several different, Python-specific, formats, called protocols as described in the documentation, "Protocol version 0" is ASCII and therefore "human-readable". Versions > 0 are binary and the highest one available depends on what version of Python is being used. The default also depends on Python version. In Python 2 the default was Protocol version 0, but in Python 3.8.1, it's Protocol version 4. In Python 3.x the module had a pickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL added to it, but that doesn't exist in Python 2.

Fortunately there's shorthand for writing pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL in every call (assuming that's what you want, and you usually do), just use the literal number -1 — similar to referencing the last element of a sequence via a negative index. So, instead of writing:

pickle.dump(obj, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

You can just write:

pickle.dump(obj, output, -1)

Either way, you'd only have specify the protocol once if you created a Pickler object for use in multiple pickle operations:

pickler = pickle.Pickler(output, -1)
pickler.dump(obj1)
pickler.dump(obj2)
   etc...

Note: If you're in an environment running different versions of Python, then you'll probably want to explicitly use (i.e. hardcode) a specific protocol number that all of them can read (later versions can generally read files produced by earlier ones).

Multiple Objects

While a pickle file can contain any number of pickled objects, as shown in the above samples, when there's an unknown number of them, it's often easier to store them all in some sort of variably-sized container, like a list, tuple, or dict and write them all to the file in a single call:

tech_companies = [
    Company('Apple', 114.18), Company('Google', 908.60), Company('Microsoft', 69.18)
]
save_object(tech_companies, 'tech_companies.pkl')

and restore the list and everything in it later with:

with open('tech_companies.pkl', 'rb') as input:
    tech_companies = pickle.load(input)

The major advantage is you don't need to know how many object instances are saved in order to load them back later (although doing so without that information is possible, it requires some slightly specialized code). See the answers to the related question Saving and loading multiple objects in pickle file? for details on different ways to do this. Personally I like @Lutz Prechelt's answer the best. Here's it adapted to the examples here:

class Company:
    def __init__(self, name, value):
        self.name = name
        self.value = value

def pickled_items(filename):
    """ Unpickle a file of pickled data. """
    with open(filename, "rb") as f:
        while True:
            try:
                yield pickle.load(f)
            except EOFError:
                break

print('Companies in pickle file:')
for company in pickled_items('company_data.pkl'):
    print('  name: {}, value: {}'.format(company.name, company.value))

Parse strings to double with comma and point

You can check if the string contains a decimal point using

string s="";

        if (s.Contains(','))
        { 
        //treat as double how you wish
        }

and then treat that as a decimal, otherwise just pass the non-double value along.

mysql: get record count between two date-time

May be with:

SELECT count(*) FROM `table` 
where 
    created_at>='2011-03-17 06:42:10' and created_at<='2011-03-17 07:42:50';

or use between:

SELECT count(*) FROM `table` 
where 
    created_at between '2011-03-17 06:42:10' and '2011-03-17 07:42:50';

You can change the datetime as per your need. May be use curdate() or now() to get the desired dates.

How to get source code of a Windows executable?

If the program was written in C# you can get the source code in almost its original form using .NET Reflector. You won't be able to see comments and local variable names, but it is very readable.

If it was written C++ it's not so easy... even if you could decompile the code into valid C++ it is unlikely that it will resemble the original source because of inlined functions and optimizations which are hard to reverse.

Please note that by reverse engineering and modifying the source code you might breaking the terms of use of the programs unless you wrote them yourself or have permission from the author.

What does this mean? "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM"

In your example

Probably should be:

return $cnf->getConfig($key)

And make getConfig not static

Convert integer to class Date

You can use ymd from lubridate

lubridate::ymd(v)

Or anytime::anydate

anytime::anydate(v)

How to customise the Jackson JSON mapper implicitly used by Spring Boot?

I know the question asking for Spring boot, but I believe lot of people looking for how to do this in non Spring boot, like me searching almost whole day.

Above Spring 4, there is no need to configure MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter if you only intend to configure ObjectMapper.

You just need to do:

public class MyObjectMapper extends ObjectMapper {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 4219938065516862637L;

    public MyObjectMapper() {
        super();
        enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT);
    }       
}

And in your Spring configuration, create this bean:

@Bean 
public MyObjectMapper myObjectMapper() {        
    return new MyObjectMapper();
}

TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len() error assistance needed

May be it is the problem of using len() for an integer value. does not posses the len attribute in Python.

Error as:I will give u an example:

number= 1
print(len(num))

Instead of use ths,

data = [1,2,3,4]
print(len(data))

TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

BrenBarn is correct. The error means you tried to do something like None[5]. In the backtrace, it says self.imageDef=self.values[2], which means that your self.values is None.

You should go through all the functions that update self.values and make sure you account for all the corner cases.

How to add include and lib paths to configure/make cycle?

This took a while to get right. I had this issue when cross-compiling in Ubuntu for an ARM target. I solved it with:

PATH=$PATH:/ccpath/bin CC=ccname-gcc AR=ccname-ar LD=ccname-ld CPPFLAGS="-nostdinc -I/ccrootfs/usr/include ..." LDFLAGS=-L/ccrootfs/usr/lib ./autogen.sh --build=`config.guess` --host=armv5tejl-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Notice CFLAGS is not used with autogen.sh/configure, using it gave me the error: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". In the build environment I was using an autogen.sh script was provided, if you don't have an autogen.sh script substitute ./autogen.sh with ./configure in the command above. I ran config.guess on the target system to get the --host parameter.

After successfully running autogen.sh/configure, compile with:

PATH=$PATH:/ccpath/bin CC=ccname-gcc AR=ccname-ar LD=ccname-ld CPPFLAGS="-nostdinc -I/ccrootfs/usr/include ..." LDFLAGS=-L/ccrootfs/usr/lib CFLAGS="-march=... -mcpu=... etc." make

The CFLAGS I chose to use were: "-march=armv5te -fno-tree-vectorize -mthumb-interwork -mcpu=arm926ej-s". It will take a while to get all of the include directories set up correctly: you might want some includes pointing to your cross-compiler and some pointing to your root file system includes, and there will likely be some conflicts.

I'm sure this is not the perfect answer. And I am still seeing some include directories pointing to / and not /ccrootfs in the Makefiles. Would love to know how to correct this. Hope this helps someone.

How can I get a collection of keys in a JavaScript dictionary?

This will work in all JavaScript implementations:

var keys = [];

for (var key in driversCounter) {
    if (driversCounter.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        keys.push(key);
    }
}

Like others mentioned before you may use Object.keys, but it may not work in older engines. So you can use the following monkey patch:

if (!Object.keys) {
    Object.keys = function (object) {
        var keys = [];

        for (var key in object) {
            if (object.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
                keys.push(key);
            }
        }
    }
}

Disable developer mode extensions pop up in Chrome

jQuery UI Accordion Expand/Collapse All

As discussed in the jQuery UI forums, you should not use accordions for this.

If you want something that looks and acts like an accordion, that is fine. Use their classes to style them, and implement whatever functionality you need. Then adding a button to open or close them all is pretty straightforward. Example

HTML

By using the jquery-ui classes, we keep our accordions looking just like the "real" accordions.

<div id="accordion" class="ui-accordion ui-widget ui-helper-reset">
    <h3 class="accordion-header ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-default ui-accordion-icons ui-corner-all">
        <span class="ui-accordion-header-icon ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-e"></span>
        Section 1
    </h3>
    <div class="ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom">
        Content 1
    </div>
</div>?

Roll your own accordions

Mostly we just want accordion headers to toggle the state of the following sibling, which is it's content area. We have also added two custom events "show" and "hide" which we will hook into later.

var headers = $('#accordion .accordion-header');
var contentAreas = $('#accordion .ui-accordion-content ').hide();
var expandLink = $('.accordion-expand-all');

headers.click(function() {
    var panel = $(this).next();
    var isOpen = panel.is(':visible');

    // open or close as necessary
    panel[isOpen? 'slideUp': 'slideDown']()
        // trigger the correct custom event
        .trigger(isOpen? 'hide': 'show');

    // stop the link from causing a pagescroll
    return false;
});

Expand/Collapse All

We use a boolean isAllOpen flag to mark when the button has been changed, this could just as easily have been a class, or a state variable on a larger plugin framework.

expandLink.click(function(){
    var isAllOpen = $(this).data('isAllOpen');

    contentAreas[isAllOpen? 'hide': 'show']()
        .trigger(isAllOpen? 'hide': 'show');
});

Swap the button when "all open"

Thanks to our custom "show" and "hide" events, we have something to listen for when panels are changing. The only special case is "are they all open", if yes the button should be a "Collapse all", if not it should be "Expand all".

contentAreas.on({
    // whenever we open a panel, check to see if they're all open
    // if all open, swap the button to collapser
    show: function(){
        var isAllOpen = !contentAreas.is(':hidden');   
        if(isAllOpen){
            expandLink.text('Collapse All')
                .data('isAllOpen', true);
        }
    },
    // whenever we close a panel, check to see if they're all open
    // if not all open, swap the button to expander
    hide: function(){
        var isAllOpen = !contentAreas.is(':hidden');
        if(!isAllOpen){
            expandLink.text('Expand all')
            .data('isAllOpen', false);
        } 
    }
});?

Edit for comment: Maintaining "1 panel open only" unless you hit the "Expand all" button is actually much easier. Example

ElasticSearch: Unassigned Shards, how to fix?

I ran into exactly the same issue. This can be prevented by temporarily setting the shard allocation to false before restarting elasticsearch, but this does not fix the unassigned shards if they are already there.

In my case it was caused by lack of free disk space on the data node. The unassigned shards where still on the data node after the restart but they where not recognized by the master.

Just cleaning 1 of the nodes from the disk got the replication process started for me. This is a rather slow process because all the data has to be copied from 1 data node to the other.

Bootstrap 4 dropdown with search

As of version 1.13.1 there is support for Bootstrap 4: https://developer.snapappointments.com/bootstrap-select/

The implementation remains exactly the same as it was in Bootstrap 3:

  • add class="selectpicker" and data-live-search="true"to your select
  • add data-tokens to your options. The live search will look into these data-token element when performing the search.

This is an example, taken from the site of the link above:

<select class="selectpicker" data-live-search="true">
  <option data-tokens="ketchup mustard">Hot Dog, Fries and a Soda</option>
  <option data-tokens="mustard">Burger, Shake and a Smile</option>
  <option data-tokens="frosting">Sugar, Spice and all things nice</option>
</select>

Live search for the search term 'fro' will only leave the third option visible (because of the data-tokens "frosting").

Don't forget to include the bootstrap-select CDN .css and .js in your project. I am very glad to see this live search become available again, because it comes in very handy when presenting large dropdown lists to the user.

Twig: in_array or similar possible within if statement?

Just to clear some things up here. The answer that was accepted does not do the same as PHP in_array.

To do the same as PHP in_array use following expression:

{% if myVar in myArray %}

If you want to negate this you should use this:

{% if myVar not in myArray %}

Git "error: The branch 'x' is not fully merged"

You can simply figure out :

git log --cherry master...experimental

--cherry option is a synonym for --right-only --cherry-mark --no-merges

git-log man page said

it's useful to limit the output to the commits on our side and mark those that have been applied to the other side of a forked history with git log --cherry upstream...mybranch, similar to git cherry upstream mybranch.

FYI. --cherry-pick omits equivalent commits but --cherry-marks doesn't. It's useful to find rebase and force updated changes between upstream and co-working public branch

Android Camera : data intent returns null

The default Android camera application returns a non-null intent only when passing back a thumbnail in the returned Intent. If you pass EXTRA_OUTPUT with a URI to write to, it will return a null intent and the picture is in the URI that you passed in.

You can verify this by looking at the camera app's source code on GitHub:

I would guess that you're either passing in EXTRA_OUTPUT somehow, or the camera app on your phone works differently.

How do I detect "shift+enter" and generate a new line in Textarea?

This works for me!

$("#your_textarea").on('keydown', function(e){
    if(e.keyCode === 13 && !e.shiftKey) 
    {

          $('form').submit();

    }
});

Clicking submit button of an HTML form by a Javascript code

The usual way to submit a form in general is to call submit() on the form itself, as described in krtek's answer.

However, if you need to actually click a submit button for some reason (your code depends on the submit button's name/value being posted or something), you can click on the submit button itself like this:

document.getElementById('loginSubmit').click();

How to update json file with python

The issue here is that you've opened a file and read its contents so the cursor is at the end of the file. By writing to the same file handle, you're essentially appending to the file.

The easiest solution would be to close the file after you've read it in, then reopen it for writing.

with open("replayScript.json", "r") as jsonFile:
    data = json.load(jsonFile)

data["location"] = "NewPath"

with open("replayScript.json", "w") as jsonFile:
    json.dump(data, jsonFile)

Alternatively, you can use seek() to move the cursor back to the beginning of the file then start writing, followed by a truncate() to deal with the case where the new data is smaller than the previous.

with open("replayScript.json", "r+") as jsonFile:
    data = json.load(jsonFile)

    data["location"] = "NewPath"

    jsonFile.seek(0)  # rewind
    json.dump(data, jsonFile)
    jsonFile.truncate()

AngularJS: how to implement a simple file upload with multipart form?

You could upload via $resource by assigning data to params attribute of resource actions like so:

$scope.uploadFile = function(files) {
    var fdata = new FormData();
    fdata.append("file", files[0]);

    $resource('api/post/:id', { id: "@id" }, {
        postWithFile: {
            method: "POST",
            data: fdata,
            transformRequest: angular.identity,
            headers: { 'Content-Type': undefined }
        }
    }).postWithFile(fdata).$promise.then(function(response){
         //successful 
    },function(error){
        //error
    });
};

How can I check whether a radio button is selected with JavaScript?

If you want vanilla JavaScript, don't want to clutter your markup by adding IDs on each radio button, and only care about modern browsers, the following functional approach is a little more tasteful to me than a for loop:

<form id="myForm">
<label>Who will be left?
  <label><input type="radio" name="output" value="knight" />Kurgan</label>
  <label><input type="radio" name="output" value="highlander" checked />Connor</label>
</label>
</form>

<script>
function getSelectedRadioValue (formElement, radioName) {
    return ([].slice.call(formElement[radioName]).filter(function (radio) {
        return radio.checked;
    }).pop() || {}).value;
}

var formEl = document.getElementById('myForm');
alert(
   getSelectedRadioValue(formEl, 'output') // 'highlander'
)
</script>

If neither is checked, it will return undefined (though you could change the line above to return something else, e.g., to get false returned, you could change the relevant line above to: }).pop() || {value:false}).value;).

There is also the forward-looking polyfill approach since the RadioNodeList interface should make it easy to just use a value property on the list of form child radio elements (found in the above code as formElement[radioName]), but that has its own problems: How to polyfill RadioNodeList?

python: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

For me this problem arised while trying to connect to the SAP Hana database. When I got this error,

OperationalError: Lost connection to HANA server (ConnectionResetError(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host', None, 10054, None))

I tried to run the code for connection(mentioned below), which created that error, again and it worked.


    import pyhdb
    connection = pyhdb.connect(host="example.com",port=30015,user="user",password="secret")
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute("SELECT 'Hello Python World' FROM DUMMY")
    cursor.fetchone()
    connection.close()

It was because the server refused to connect. It might require you to wait for a while and try again. Try closing the Hana Studio by logging off and then logging in again. Keep running the code for a number of times.

How to make the web page height to fit screen height

Try:

#content{ background-color:#F3F3F3; margin:auto;width:70%;height:77%;}
#footer{width:100%;background-color:#666666;height:22%;}

(77% and 22% roughly preserves the proportions of content and footer and should not cause scrolling)

append new row to old csv file python

If the file exists and contains data, then it is possible to generate the fieldname parameter for csv.DictWriter automatically:

# read header automatically
with open(myFile, "r") as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for header in reader:
        break

# add row to CSV file
with open(myFile, "a", newline='') as f:
    writer = csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames=header)
    writer.writerow(myDict)

The entity cannot be constructed in a LINQ to Entities query

In many cases, the transformation is not needed. Think for the reason you want the strongly type List, and evaluate if you just want the data, for example, in a web service or for displaying it. It does not matter the type. You just need to know how to read it and check that is identical to the properties defined in the anonymous type that you defined. That is the optimun scenario, cause something you don't need all the fields of an entity, and that's the reason anonymous type exists.

A simple way is doing this:

IEnumerable<object> list = dataContext.Table.Select(e => new { MyRequiredField = e.MyRequiredField}).AsEnumerable();

When to use the !important property in CSS

This is a real-world example.

While working with GWT-Bootstrap V2, it will inject some CSS file, which will override my CSS styles. In order to make my properties to be not overridden, I used !important.

Undo working copy modifications of one file in Git?

I always get confused with this, so here is a reminder test case; let's say we have this bash script to test git:

set -x
rm -rf test
mkdir test
cd test
git init
git config user.name test
git config user.email [email protected]
echo 1 > a.txt
echo 1 > b.txt
git add *
git commit -m "initial commit"
echo 2 >> b.txt
git add b.txt
git commit -m "second commit"
echo 3 >> b.txt

At this point, the change is not staged in the cache, so git status is:

$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   b.txt

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

If from this point, we do git checkout, the result is this:

$ git checkout HEAD -- b.txt
$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean

If instead we do git reset, the result is:

$ git reset HEAD -- b.txt
Unstaged changes after reset:
M   b.txt
$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   b.txt

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

So, in this case - if the changes are not staged, git reset makes no difference, while git checkout overwrites the changes.


Now, let's say that the last change from the script above is staged/cached, that is to say we also did git add b.txt at the end.

In this case, git status at this point is:

$ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
  (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

    modified:   b.txt

If from this point, we do git checkout, the result is this:

$ git checkout HEAD -- b.txt
$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean

If instead we do git reset, the result is:

$ git reset HEAD -- b.txt
Unstaged changes after reset:
M   b.txt
$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   b.txt

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

So, in this case - if the changes are staged, git reset will basically make staged changes into unstaged changes - while git checkout will overwrite the changes completely.

Javascript return number of days,hours,minutes,seconds between two dates

I call it the "snowman ? method" and I think it's a little more flexible when you need additional timespans like weeks, moths, years, centuries... and don't want too much repetitive code:

var d = Math.abs(date_future - date_now) / 1000;                           // delta
var r = {};                                                                // result
var s = {                                                                  // structure
    year: 31536000,
    month: 2592000,
    week: 604800, // uncomment row to ignore
    day: 86400,   // feel free to add your own row
    hour: 3600,
    minute: 60,
    second: 1
};

Object.keys(s).forEach(function(key){
    r[key] = Math.floor(d / s[key]);
    d -= r[key] * s[key];
});

// for example: {year:0,month:0,week:1,day:2,hour:34,minute:56,second:7}
console.log(r);

How to get scrollbar position with Javascript?

If you are using jQuery there is a perfect function for you: .scrollTop()

doc here -> http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/

note: you can use this function to retrieve OR set the position.

see also: http://api.jquery.com/?s=scroll

is not JSON serializable

class CountryListView(ListView):
     model = Country

    def render_to_response(self, context, **response_kwargs):

         return HttpResponse(json.dumps(list(self.get_queryset().values_list('code', flat=True))),mimetype="application/json") 

fixed the problem

also mimetype is important.

Set a form's action attribute when submitting?

You can do that on javascript side .

<input type="submit" value="Send It!" onClick="return ActionDeterminator();">

When clicked, the JavaScript function ActionDeterminator() determines the alternate action URL. Example code.

function ActionDeterminator() {
  if(document.myform.reason[0].checked == true) {
    document.myform.action = 'http://google.com';
  }
  if(document.myform.reason[1].checked == true) {
    document.myform.action = 'http://microsoft.com';
    document.myform.method = 'get';
  }
  if(document.myform.reason[2].checked == true) {
    document.myform.action = 'http://yahoo.com';
  }
  return true;
}

How to sync with a remote Git repository?

You have to add the original repo as an upstream.

How to drop column with constraint?

First you should drop the problematic DEFAULT constraint, after that you can drop the column

alter table tbloffers drop constraint [ConstraintName]
go

alter table tbloffers drop column checkin

But the error may appear from other reasons - for example the user defined function or view with SCHEMABINDING option set for them.

UPD: Completely automated dropping of constraints script:

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
WHILE 1=1
BEGIN
    SELECT TOP 1 @sql = N'alter table tbloffers drop constraint ['+dc.NAME+N']'
    from sys.default_constraints dc
    JOIN sys.columns c
        ON c.default_object_id = dc.object_id
    WHERE 
        dc.parent_object_id = OBJECT_ID('tbloffers')
    AND c.name = N'checkin'
    IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 BREAK
    EXEC (@sql)
END

Why do I get an UnsupportedOperationException when trying to remove an element from a List?

How to count the number of columns in a table using SQL?

select count(*) 
from user_tab_columns

php & mysql query not echoing in html with tags?

Change <?php echo $proxy ?> to ' . $proxy . '.

You use <?php when you're outputting HTML by leaving PHP mode with ?>. When you using echo, you have to use concatenation, or wrap your string in double quotes and use interpolation.

SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start:org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start error

Got the solution for this problem.... Wooo

  1. Make sure that Appliction server (Tomcat etc.) uses the same java runtime version as per what your java application is using.

  2. Make sure that your using jre path not jdk path for the runtime enviroments

  3. Make sure when creating a project select the appropriate server runtime versions.

Google Apps Script to open a URL

You can build a small UI that does the job like this :

function test(){
showURL("http://www.google.com")
}
//
function showURL(href){
  var app = UiApp.createApplication().setHeight(50).setWidth(200);
  app.setTitle("Show URL");
  var link = app.createAnchor('open ', href).setId("link");
  app.add(link);  
  var doc = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  doc.show(app);
  }

If you want to 'show' the URL, just change this line like this :

  var link = app.createAnchor(href, href).setId("link");

EDIT : link to a demo spreadsheet in read only because too many people keep writing unwanted things on it (just make a copy to use instead).

EDIT : UiApp was deprecated by Google on 11th Dec 2014, this method could break at any time and needs updating to use HTML service instead!

EDIT : below is an implementation using html service.

function testNew(){
  showAnchor('Stackoverflow','http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-apps-script');
}

function showAnchor(name,url) {
  var html = '<html><body><a href="'+url+'" target="blank" onclick="google.script.host.close()">'+name+'</a></body></html>';
  var ui = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput(html)
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModelessDialog(ui,"demo");
}

How can I send the "&" (ampersand) character via AJAX?

You need to url-escape the ampersand. Use:

var wysiwyg_clean = wysiwyg.replace('&', '%26');

As Wolfram points out, this is nicely handled (along with all the other special characters) by encodeURIComponent.

Converting date between DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD?

Does anyone else else think it's a waste to convert these strings to date/time objects for what is, in the end, a simple text transformation? If you're certain the incoming dates will be valid, you can just use:

>>> ddmmyyyy = "21/12/2008"
>>> yyyymmdd = ddmmyyyy[6:] + "-" + ddmmyyyy[3:5] + "-" + ddmmyyyy[:2]
>>> yyyymmdd
'2008-12-21'

This will almost certainly be faster than the conversion to and from a date.

Extract public/private key from PKCS12 file for later use in SSH-PK-Authentication

As far as I know PKCS#12 is just a certificate/public/private key store. If you extracted a public key from PKCS#12 file, OpenSSH should be able to use it as long as it was extracted in PEM format. You probably already know that you also need a corresponding private key (also in PEM) in order to use it for ssh-public-key authentication.

Making an image act like a button

You could use an image submit button:

<input type="image"  id="saveform" src="logg.png " alt="Submit Form" />

Get hostname of current request in node.js Express

You can use the os Module:

var os = require("os");
os.hostname();

See http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/os.html#os_os_hostname

Caveats:

  1. if you can work with the IP address -- Machines may have several Network Cards and unless you specify it node will listen on all of them, so you don't know on which NIC the request came in, before it comes in.

  2. Hostname is a DNS matter -- Don't forget that several DNS aliases can point to the same machine.

NameError: name 'datetime' is not defined

You need to import the module datetime first:

>>> import datetime

After that it works:

>>> import datetime
>>> date = datetime.date.today()
>>> date
datetime.date(2013, 11, 12)

How to display Woocommerce product price by ID number on a custom page?

If you have the product's ID you can use that to create a product object:

$_product = wc_get_product( $product_id );

Then from the object you can run any of WooCommerce's product methods.

$_product->get_regular_price();
$_product->get_sale_price();
$_product->get_price();

Update
Please review the Codex article on how to write your own shortcode.

Integrating the WooCommerce product data might look something like this:

function so_30165014_price_shortcode_callback( $atts ) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'id' => null,
    ), $atts, 'bartag' );

    $html = '';

    if( intval( $atts['id'] ) > 0 && function_exists( 'wc_get_product' ) ){
         $_product = wc_get_product( $atts['id'] );
         $html = "price = " . $_product->get_price();
    }
    return $html;
}
add_shortcode( 'woocommerce_price', 'so_30165014_price_shortcode_callback' );

Your shortcode would then look like [woocommerce_price id="99"]

Google Maps v2 - set both my location and zoom in

Adding click event handler to iframe

You can use closures to pass parameters:

iframe.document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {clic(this.id);}, false);

However, I recommend that you use a better approach to access your frame (I can only assume that you are using the DOM0 way of accessing frame windows by their name - something that is only kept around for backwards compatibility):

document.getElementById("myFrame").contentDocument.addEventListener(...);
