Programs & Examples On #Cloud hosting

Cloud hosting is hosting a service, commonly a website, on multiple distributed servers. Like a server farm, this provides greater performance (through load balancing) and availability than using a single server, but the distributed nature of the cloud means requests can be serviced closer to the client and makes it more tolerant of network failures.

Do on-demand Mac OS X cloud services exist, comparable to Amazon's EC2 on-demand instances?

Amazon EC2 cannot offer Mac OS X EC2 instances due to Apple's tight licensing to only allow it to legally run on Apple hardware and the current EC2 infrastructure relies upon virtualized hardware.

Apple Mac image on Amazon EC2?

Can you run OS X on an Amazon EC2 instance?

There are other companies that do provide Mac OS X hosting, presumably on Apple hardware. One example is Go Daddy:

Go Daddy Product Catalog (see Mac® Powered Cloud Servers under Web Hosting)

To find more, search for "Mac OS X hosting" and you'll find more options.

Vertically center text in a 100% height div?

Did you try vertical-align: middle ???

You can find more info on vertical-align here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_vertical-align.asp

Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash and preg_match

You can also use T-Regx library which has automatic delimiters for you:

$matches = pattern("My name is '(.*)' and im fine")->match($string1)->all();

                 // ? No delimiters needed 

How to load html string in a webview?

You also can try out this

   final WebView webView = new WebView(this);
            webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, content, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

.ssh/config file for windows (git)

There is an option IdentityFile which you can use in your ~/.ssh/config file and specify key file for each host.

Host host_with_key1.net
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host host_with_key2.net
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_test

More info: http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config

Also look at http://nerderati.com/2011/03/17/simplify-your-life-with-an-ssh-config-file/

run main class of Maven project

Try the maven-exec-plugin. From there:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.Main"

This will run your class in the JVM. You can use -Dexec.args="arg0 arg1" to pass arguments.

If you're on Windows, apply quotes for exec.mainClass and exec.args:

mvn exec:java -D"exec.mainClass"="com.example.Main"

If you're doing this regularly, you can add the parameters into the pom.xml as well:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>java</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <configuration>
    <mainClass>com.example.Main</mainClass>
    <arguments>
      <argument>foo</argument>
      <argument>bar</argument>
    </arguments>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Using R to download zipped data file, extract, and import data

Zip archives are actually more a 'filesystem' with content metadata etc. See help(unzip) for details. So to do what you sketch out above you need to

  1. Create a temp. file name (eg tempfile())
  2. Use download.file() to fetch the file into the temp. file
  3. Use unz() to extract the target file from temp. file
  4. Remove the temp file via unlink()

which in code (thanks for basic example, but this is simpler) looks like

temp <- tempfile()
download.file("http://www.newcl.org/data/zipfiles/a1.zip",temp)
data <- read.table(unz(temp, "a1.dat"))
unlink(temp)

Compressed (.z) or gzipped (.gz) or bzip2ed (.bz2) files are just the file and those you can read directly from a connection. So get the data provider to use that instead :)

Excel VBA date formats

To ensure that a cell will return a date value and not just a string that looks like a date, first you must set the NumberFormat property to a Date format, then put a real date into the cell's content.

Sub test_date_or_String()
 Set c = ActiveCell
 c.NumberFormat = "@"
 c.Value = CDate("03/04/2014")
   Debug.Print c.Value & " is a " & TypeName(c.Value) 'C is a String
 c.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
   Debug.Print c.Value & " is a " & TypeName(c.Value) 'C is still a String
 c.Value = CDate("03/04/2014")
   Debug.Print c.Value & " is a " & TypeName(c.Value) 'C is a date    
End Sub

How to sync with a remote Git repository?

Assuming their updates are on master, and you are on the branch you want to merge the changes into.

git remote add origin https://github.com/<github-username>/<repo-name>.git
git pull origin master

Also note that you will then want to push the merge back to your copy of the repository:

git push origin master

Uncaught Error: SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18 when I try to set a cookie

You're most likely using this on a local file over the file:// URI scheme, which cannot have cookies set. Put it on a local server so you can use http://localhost.

How many values can be represented with n bits?

There's an easier way to think about this. Start with 1 bit. This can obviously represent 2 values (0 or 1). What happens when we add a bit? We can now represent twice as many values: the values we could represent before with a 0 appended and the values we could represent before with a 1 appended.

So the the number of values we can represent with n bits is just 2^n (2 to the power n)

How to upload (FTP) files to server in a bash script?

How to use execvp()

In cpp, you need to pay special attention to string types when using execvp:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
using namespace std;

const size_t MAX_ARGC = 15; // 1 command + # of arguments
char* argv[MAX_ARGC + 1]; // Needs +1 because of the null terminator at the end
// c_str() converts string to const char*, strdup converts const char* to char*
argv[0] = strdup(command.c_str());

// start filling up the arguments after the first command
size_t arg_i = 1;
while (cin && arg_i < MAX_ARGC) {
    string arg;
    cin >> arg;
    if (arg.empty()) {
        argv[arg_i] = nullptr;
        break;
    } else {
        argv[arg_i] = strdup(arg.c_str());
    }
    ++arg_i;
}

// Run the command with arguments
if (execvp(command.c_str(), argv) == -1) {
    // Print error if command not found
    cerr << "command '" << command << "' not found\n";
}

SQL sum with condition

With condition HAVING you will eliminate data with cash not ultrapass 0 if you want, generating more efficiency in your query.

SELECT SUM(cash) AS money FROM Table t1, Table2 t2 WHERE t1.branch = t2.branch 
AND t1.transID = t2.transID
AND ValueDate > @startMonthDate HAVING money > 0;

JavaFX 2.1 TableView refresh items

I am not sure if this applies to your situation, but I will post what worked for me.

I change my table view based on queries / searches to a database. For example, a database table contains Patient data. My initial table view in my program contains all Patients. I can then search query for Patients by firstName and lastName. I use the results of this query to repopulate my Observable list. Then I reset the items in the tableview by calling tableview.setItems(observableList):

/**
 * Searches the table for an existing Patient.
 */
@FXML
public void handleSearch() {
    String fname = this.fNameSearch.getText();
    String lname = this.lNameSearch.getText();
    LocalDate bdate = this.bDateSearch.getValue();

    if (this.nameAndDOBSearch(fname, lname, bdate)) {
        this.patientData = this.controller.processNursePatientSearch(fname, lname, bdate);
    } else if (this.birthDateSearch(fname, lname, bdate)) {
        this.patientData = this.controller.processNursePatientSearch(bdate);
    } else if (this.nameSearch(fname, lname, bdate)) {
        this.patientData = this.controller.processNursePatientSearch(fname, lname);
    }

    this.patientTable.setItems(this.patientData);
}

The if blocks update the ObservableList with the query results.

GCD to perform task in main thread

For the asynchronous dispatch case you describe above, you shouldn't need to check if you're on the main thread. As Bavarious indicates, this will simply be queued up to be run on the main thread.

However, if you attempt to do the above using a dispatch_sync() and your callback is on the main thread, your application will deadlock at that point. I describe this in my answer here, because this behavior surprised me when moving some code from -performSelectorOnMainThread:. As I mention there, I created a helper function:

void runOnMainQueueWithoutDeadlocking(void (^block)(void))
{
    if ([NSThread isMainThread])
    {
        block();
    }
    else
    {
        dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), block);
    }
}

which will run a block synchronously on the main thread if the method you're in isn't currently on the main thread, and just executes the block inline if it is. You can employ syntax like the following to use this:

runOnMainQueueWithoutDeadlocking(^{
    //Do stuff
});

Postgresql query between date ranges

SELECT user_id 
FROM user_logs 
WHERE login_date BETWEEN '2014-02-01' AND '2014-03-01'

Between keyword works exceptionally for a date. it assumes the time is at 00:00:00 (i.e. midnight) for dates.

jQuery object equality

The $.fn.equals(...) solution is probably the cleanest and most elegant one.

I have tried something quick and dirty like this:

JSON.stringify(a) == JSON.stringify(b)

It is probably expensive, but the comfortable thing is that it is implicitly recursive, while the elegant solution is not.

Just my 2 cents.

How to pass a URI to an intent?

here how I use it; This button inside my CameraActionActivity Activity class where I call camera

 btn_frag_camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intenImatToSec = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
                startActivityForResult(intenImatToSec, REQUEST_CODE_VIDEO);
                //intenImatToSec.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
                //intenImatToSec.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_DURATION_LIMIT, 10);
                //Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Hello From Camera", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });



@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_IMG) {
                Bundle bundle = data.getExtras();
                Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) bundle.get("data");
                Intent intentBitMap = new Intent(getActivity(), DisplayImage.class);
                // aldigimiz imagi burda yonlendirdigimiz sinifa iletiyoruz
                ByteArrayOutputStream _bs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 50, _bs);
                intentBitMap.putExtra("byteArray", _bs.toByteArray());
                startActivity(intentBitMap);

            } else if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_VIDEO) {
                Uri videoUrl = data.getData();
                Intent intenToDisplayVideo = new Intent(getActivity(), DisplayVideo.class);
                intenToDisplayVideo.putExtra("videoUri", videoUrl.toString());
                startActivity(intenToDisplayVideo);
            }
        }
    }

And my other DisplayVideo Activity Class

VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview_display_video_actvity);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        Uri myUri=  Uri.parse(extras.getString("videoUri"));
        videoView.setVideoURI(myUri);

String length in bytes in JavaScript

I compared some of the methods suggested here in Firefox for speed.

The string I used contained the following characters: œ´®†¥¨ˆøp¬°??©ƒ?ßåO˜çv?˜µ=

All results are averages of 3 runs each. Times are in milliseconds. Note that all URIEncoding methods behaved similarly and had extreme results, so I only included one.

While there are some fluctuations based on the size of the string, the charCode methods (lovasoa and fuweichin) both perform similarly and the fastest overall, with fuweichin's charCode method the fastest. The Blob and TextEncoder methods performed similarly to each other. Generally the charCode methods were about 75% faster than the Blob and TextEncoder methods. The URIEncoding method was basically unacceptable.

Here are the results I got:

Size 6.4 * 10^6 bytes:

Lauri Oherd – URIEncoding:     6400000    et: 796
lovasoa – charCode:            6400000    et: 15

How to write loop in a Makefile?

This answer, just as that of @Vroomfondel aims to circumvent the loop problem in an elegant way.

My take is to let make generate the loop itself as an imported makefile like this:

include Loop.mk
Loop.mk:Loop.sh
     Loop.sh > $@

The shell script can the be as advanced as you like but a minimal working example could be

#!/bin/bash
LoopTargets=""
NoTargest=5
for Target in `seq $NoTargest` ; do
    File="target_${Target}.dat"
    echo $File:data_script.sh
    echo $'\t'./data_script.ss $Target
    LoopTargets="$LoopTargets $File"
done
echo;echo;echo LoopTargets:=$LoopTargets

which generates the file

target_1.dat:data_script.sh
    ./data_script.ss 1
target_2.dat:data_script.sh
    ./data_script.ss 2
target_3.dat:data_script.sh
    ./data_script.ss 3
target_4.dat:data_script.sh
    ./data_script.ss 4
target_5.dat:data_script.sh
    ./data_script.ss 5


LoopTargets:= target_1.dat target_2.dat target_3.dat target_4.dat target_5.dat

And advantage there is that make can itself keep track of which files have been generated and which ones need to be (re)generated. As such, this also enables make to use the -j flag for parallelization.

Asp.NET Web API - 405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed - how to set handler mappings

Besides all above solutions, check if you have the "id" or any custom defined parameter in the DELETE method is matching the route config.

public void Delete(int id)
{
    //some code here
}

If you hit with repeated 405 errors better reset the method signature to default as above and try.

The route config by default will look for id in the URL. So the parameter name id is important here unless you change the route config under the App_Start folder.

You may change the data type of the id though.

For example the method below should work just fine:

public void Delete(string id)
{
    //some code here
}

Note: Also ensure that you pass the data over the url not the data method that will carry the payload as body content.

DELETE http://{url}/{action}/{id}

Example:

DELETE http://localhost/item/1

Hope it helps.

What is the difference between the 'COPY' and 'ADD' commands in a Dockerfile?

If you want to add a xx.tar.gz to a /usr/local in container, unzip it, and then remove the useless compressed package.

For COPY:

COPY resources/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz /tmp/
RUN tar -zxvf /tmp/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
RUN rm /tmp/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz

For ADD:

ADD resources/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/local/

ADD supports local-only tar extraction. Besides it, COPY will use three layers, but ADD only uses one layer.

What method in the String class returns only the first N characters?

if we are talking about validations also why we have not checked for null string entries. Any specific reasons?

I think below way help since IsNullOrEmpty is a system defined method and ternary operators have cyclomatic complexity = 1 while if() {} else {} has value 2.

    public static string Truncate(string input, int truncLength)
    {
        return (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(input) && input.Length >= truncLength)
                   ? input.Substring(0, truncLength)
                   : input;
    }

Remove white space above and below large text in an inline-block element

I had a similar problem. As you increase the line-height the space above the text increases. It's not padding but it will affect the vertical space between content. I found that adding a -ve top margin seemed to do the trick. It had to be done for all of the different instances of line-height and it varies with font-family too. Maybe this is something which designers need to be more aware of when passing design requirements (?) So for a particular instance of font-family and line-height:

h1 {
    font-family: 'Garamond Premier Pro Regular';
    font-size: 24px;
    color: #001230;
    line-height: 29px;
    margin-top: -5px;    /* CORRECTION FOR LINE-HEIGHT */
}

Using .text() to retrieve only text not nested in child tags

isn't the code:

var text  =  $('#listItem').clone().children().remove().end().text();

just becoming jQuery for jQuery's sake? When simple operations involve that many chained commands & that much (unnecessary) processing, perhaps it is time to write a jQuery extension:

(function ($) {
    function elementText(el, separator) {
        var textContents = [];
        for(var chld = el.firstChild; chld; chld = chld.nextSibling) {
            if (chld.nodeType == 3) { 
                textContents.push(chld.nodeValue);
            }
        }
        return textContents.join(separator);
    }
    $.fn.textNotChild = function(elementSeparator, nodeSeparator) {
    if (arguments.length<2){nodeSeparator="";}
    if (arguments.length<1){elementSeparator="";}
        return $.map(this, function(el){
            return elementText(el,nodeSeparator);
        }).join(elementSeparator);
    }
} (jQuery));

to call:

var text = $('#listItem').textNotChild();

the arguments are in case a different scenario is encountered, such as

<li>some text<a>more text</a>again more</li>
<li>second text<a>more text</a>again more</li>

var text = $("li").textNotChild(".....","<break>");

text will have value:

some text<break>again more.....second text<break>again more

Alter a SQL server function to accept new optional parameter

The way to keep SELECT dbo.fCalculateEstimateDate(647) call working is:

ALTER function [dbo].[fCalculateEstimateDate] (@vWorkOrderID numeric)
Returns varchar(100)  AS
   Declare @Result varchar(100)
   SELECT @Result = [dbo].[fCalculateEstimateDate_v2] (@vWorkOrderID,DEFAULT)
   Return @Result
Begin
End

CREATE function [dbo].[fCalculateEstimateDate_v2] (@vWorkOrderID numeric,@ToDate DateTime=null)
Returns varchar(100)  AS
Begin
  <Function Body>
End

How to hide the title bar for an Activity in XML with existing custom theme

Or if you want to hide/show the title bar at any point:

private void toggleFullscreen(boolean fullscreen)
{
    WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = getWindow().getAttributes();
    if (fullscreen)
    {
        attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
    }
    else
    {
        attrs.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
    }
    getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);
}

Update elements in a JSONObject

Remove key and then add again the modified key, value pair as shown below :

    JSONObject js = new JSONObject();
    js.put("name", "rai");

    js.remove("name");
    js.put("name", "abc");

I haven't used your example; but conceptually its same.

How to increment datetime by custom months in python without using library

Perhaps add the number of days in the current month using calendar.monthrange()?

import calendar, datetime

def increment_month(when):
    days = calendar.monthrange(when.year, when.month)[1]
    return when + datetime.timedelta(days=days)

now = datetime.datetime.now()
print 'It is now %s' % now
print 'In a month, it will be %s' % increment_month(now)

How to return a result (startActivityForResult) from a TabHost Activity?

For start Activity 2 from Activity 1 and get result, you could use startActivityForResult and implement onActivityResult in Activity 1 and use setResult in Activity2.

Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);
intent.putExtra(NUMERO1, numero1);
intent.putExtra(NUMERO2, numero2);
//startActivity(intent);
startActivityForResult(intent, MI_REQUEST_CODE);

SendMailTask.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

import java.util.List;

public class SendMailTask extends AsyncTask {

    private ProgressDialog statusDialog;
    private Activity sendMailActivity;

    public SendMailTask(Activity activity) {
        sendMailActivity = activity;

    }

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        statusDialog = new ProgressDialog(sendMailActivity);
        statusDialog.setMessage("Getting ready...");
        statusDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        statusDialog.setCancelable(false);
        statusDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected Object doInBackground(Object... args) {
        try {
            Log.i("SendMailTask", "About to instantiate GMail...");
            publishProgress("Processing input....");
            GMail androidEmail = new GMail(args[0].toString(),
                    args[1].toString(), (List) args[2], args[3].toString(),
                    args[4].toString());
            publishProgress("Preparing mail message....");
            androidEmail.createEmailMessage();
            publishProgress("Sending email....");
            androidEmail.sendEmail();
            publishProgress("Email Sent.");
            Log.i("SendMailTask", "Mail Sent.");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            publishProgress(e.getMessage());
            Log.e("SendMailTask", e.getMessage(), e);
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onProgressUpdate(Object... values) {
        statusDialog.setMessage(values[0].toString());

    }

    @Override
    public void onPostExecute(Object result) {
        statusDialog.dismiss();
    }

}

Step 3 : Now you can change this class according to your needs also you can send multiple mail using this class. i provide xml and java file both.

Remove table row after clicking table row delete button

Following solution is working fine.

HTML:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="button" value="Delete Row" onclick="SomeDeleteRowFunction(this);">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="button" value="Delete Row" onclick="SomeDeleteRowFunction(this);">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="button" value="Delete Row" onclick="SomeDeleteRowFunction(this);">
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

JQuery:

function SomeDeleteRowFunction(btndel) {
    if (typeof(btndel) == "object") {
        $(btndel).closest("tr").remove();
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

How get the base URL via context path in JSF?

JSTL 1.2 variation leveraged from BalusC answer

<c:set var="baseURL" value="${pageContext.request.requestURL.substring(0, pageContext.request.requestURL.length() - pageContext.request.requestURI.length())}${pageContext.request.contextPath}/" />

<head>
  <base href="${baseURL}" />

How do I open a new fragment from another fragment?

Use this,

AppCompatActivity activity = (AppCompatActivity) view.getContext();
Fragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
activity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container, myFragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();

Run a PHP file in a cron job using CPanel

I've had problems using /usr/bin/php on CPanel as it is compiled as a "cgi-fcgi" binary and not "cli". Try using /usr/local/bin/php or, as it is first in the path anyway, just use 'php' instead:

php /path/to/script.php

If you want to run the script as an executable, give it +x perms and use the following as the first line of the script:

#!/usr/bin/env php

Subtract two variables in Bash

Use Python:

#!/bin/bash
# home/victoria/test.sh

START=$(date +"%s")                                     ## seconds since Epoch
for i in $(seq 1 10)
do
  sleep 1.5
  END=$(date +"%s")                                     ## integer
  TIME=$((END - START))                                 ## integer
  AVG_TIME=$(python -c "print(float($TIME/$i))")        ## int to float
  printf 'i: %i | elapsed time: %0.1f sec | avg. time: %0.3f\n' $i $TIME $AVG_TIME
  ((i++))                                               ## increment $i
done

Output

LINQ order by null column where order is ascending and nulls should be last

It really helps to understand the LINQ query syntax and how it is translated to LINQ method calls.

It turns out that

var products = from p in _context.Products
               where p.ProductTypeId == 1
               orderby p.LowestPrice.HasValue descending
               orderby p.LowestPrice descending
               select p;

will be translated by the compiler to

var products = _context.Products
                       .Where(p => p.ProductTypeId == 1)
                       .OrderByDescending(p => p.LowestPrice.HasValue)
                       .OrderByDescending(p => p.LowestPrice)
                       .Select(p => p);

This is emphatically not what you want. This sorts by Product.LowestPrice.HasValue in descending order and then re-sorts the entire collection by Product.LowestPrice in descending order.

What you want is

var products = _context.Products
                       .Where(p => p.ProductTypeId == 1)
                       .OrderByDescending(p => p.LowestPrice.HasValue)
                       .ThenBy(p => p.LowestPrice)
                       .Select(p => p);

which you can obtain using the query syntax by

var products = from p in _context.Products
               where p.ProductTypeId == 1
               orderby p.LowestPrice.HasValue descending,
                       p.LowestPrice
               select p;

For details of the translations from query syntax to method calls, see the language specification. Seriously. Read it.

Python module os.chmod(file, 664) does not change the permission to rw-rw-r-- but -w--wx----

leading 0 means this is octal constant, not the decimal one. and you need an octal to change file mode.

permissions are a bit mask, for example, rwxrwx--- is 111111000 in binary, and it's very easy to group bits by 3 to convert to the octal, than calculate the decimal representation.

0644 (octal) is 0.110.100.100 in binary (i've added dots for readability), or, as you may calculate, 420 in decimal.

What is a Sticky Broadcast?

A normal broadcast Intent is not available anymore after is was send and processed by the system. If you use the sendStickyBroadcast(Intent) method, the Intent is sticky, meaning the Intent you are sending stays around after the broadcast is complete.

you refer to my blog:enter link description here

preg_match in JavaScript?

get matched string back or false

function preg_match (regex, str) {
  if (new RegExp(regex).test(str)){
    return regex.exec(str);
  }
  return false;
}

Extract filename and extension in Bash

Simply use ${parameter%word}

In your case:

${FILE%.*}

If you want to test it, all following work, and just remove the extension:

FILE=abc.xyz; echo ${FILE%.*};
FILE=123.abc.xyz; echo ${FILE%.*};
FILE=abc; echo ${FILE%.*};

How to add an ORDER BY clause using CodeIgniter's Active Record methods?

I believe the get() function immediately runs the select query and does not accept ORDER BY conditions as parameters. I think you'll need to separately declare the conditions, then run the query. Give this a try:

$this->db->from($this->table_name);
$this->db->order_by("name", "asc");
$query = $this->db->get(); 
return $query->result();

CodeIgniter Documentation order_by()

How to change a Git remote on Heroku

And you are done.

font awesome icon in select option

I used this solution and it worked with Font Awesome 5: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50973559/3813846

What made the difference in my case was to add font-weight: 900;to the class. Keep in mind to 'fa' to the value.

Example of my code:

<select class="text-primary fa-select" name="class_logo" required>
  <option value="fa address-book">&#xf2b9; address-book</option>
  <option value="fa adjust">&#xf042; adjust</option>
  <option value="fa air-freshener">&#xf5d0; air-freshener</option>
</select>

CSS:

.fa-select {
    font-family: 'Lato', 'Font Awesome 5 Free';

Edit: If you are mixing Solid Icons with Brand Icons in the select, change the CSS as follows:

.fa-select {
    font-family: 'Lato', 'Font Awesome 5 Free', 'Font Awesome 5 Brands';
    font-weight: 900;
}

How to Concatenate Numbers and Strings to Format Numbers in T-SQL?

select 'abcd' + ltrim(str(1)) + ltrim(str(2))

Is there an eval() function in Java?

There is no standard Java class or method that will do what you want. Your options include:

  • Select and use some third-party expression evaluation library. For example JEL or any of the half dozen libraries listed here.

  • Wrap the expression in the Java source code for a class with an eval method, send that to the Java compiler, and then load the resulting compiled class.

  • Use some scripting language that can be called from Java as an expression evaluator. Possibilities include Javascript, BeanShell, and so on.

  • Write your own expression evaluator from scratch.

The first approach is probably simplest. The second and third approaches are a potential security risk if you get the expression to be evaluated from an untrusted user. (Think code injection.)

How to set a header for a HTTP GET request, and trigger file download?

There are two ways to download a file where the HTTP request requires that a header be set.

The credit for the first goes to @guest271314, and credit for the second goes to @dandavis.

The first method is to use the HTML5 File API to create a temporary local file, and the second is to use base64 encoding in conjunction with a data URI.

The solution I used in my project uses the base64 encoding approach for small files, or when the File API is not available, otherwise using the the File API approach.

Solution:

        var id = 123;

        var req = ic.ajax.raw({
            type: 'GET',
            url: '/api/dowloads/'+id,
            beforeSend: function (request) {
                request.setRequestHeader('token', 'token for '+id);
            },
            processData: false
        });

        var maxSizeForBase64 = 1048576; //1024 * 1024

        req.then(
            function resolve(result) {
                var str = result.response;

                var anchor = $('.vcard-hyperlink');
                var windowUrl = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
                if (str.length > maxSizeForBase64 && typeof windowUrl.createObjectURL === 'function') {
                    var blob = new Blob([result.response], { type: 'text/bin' });
                    var url = windowUrl.createObjectURL(blob);
                    anchor.prop('href', url);
                    anchor.prop('download', id+'.bin');
                    anchor.get(0).click();
                    windowUrl.revokeObjectURL(url);
                }
                else {
                    //use base64 encoding when less than set limit or file API is not available
                    anchor.attr({
                        href: 'data:text/plain;base64,'+FormatUtils.utf8toBase64(result.response),
                        download: id+'.bin',
                    });
                    anchor.get(0).click();
                }

            }.bind(this),
            function reject(err) {
                console.log(err);
            }
        );

Note that I'm not using a raw XMLHttpRequest, and instead using ic-ajax, and should be quite similar to a jQuery.ajax solution.

Note also that you should substitute text/bin and .bin with whatever corresponds to the file type being downloaded.

The implementation of FormatUtils.utf8toBase64 can be found here

Automatic vertical scroll bar in WPF TextBlock?

Dont know if someone else has this problem but wrapping my TextBlock into a ScrollViewer somewhow messed up my UI - as a simple workaround I figured out that replacing the TextBlock by a TextBox like this one

<TextBox  Name="textBlock" SelectionBrush="Transparent" Cursor="Arrow" IsReadOnly="True" Text="My Text" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">

creates a TextBox that looks and behaves like a TextBlock with a scrollbar (and you can do it all in the designer).

How to export SQL Server 2005 query to CSV

I think the simplest way to do this is from Excel.

  1. Open a new Excel file.
  2. Click on the Data tab
  3. Select Other Data Sources
  4. Select SQL Server
  5. Enter your server name, database, table name, etc.

If you have a newer version of Excel you could bring the data in from PowerPivot and then insert this data into a table.

How to make div background color transparent in CSS

Opacity gives you translucency or transparency. See an example Fiddle here.

-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";       /* IE 8 */
filter: alpha(opacity=50);  /* IE 5-7 */
-moz-opacity: 0.5;          /* Netscape */
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;        /* Safari 1.x */
opacity: 0.5;               /* Good browsers */

Note: these are NOT CSS3 properties

See http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/cross-browser-opacity/

NullPointerException in Java with no StackTrace

Alternate suggestion - if you're using Eclipse, you could set a breakpoint on NullPointerException itself (in the Debug perspective, go to the "Breakpoints" tab and click on the little icon that has a ! in it)

Check both the "caught" and "uncaught" options - now when you trigger the NPE, you'll immediately breakpoint and you can then step through and see how exactly it is handled and why you're not getting a stack trace.

Predicate Delegates in C#

Simply -> they provide True/False values based on condition mostly used for querying. mostly used with delegates

consider example of list

List<Program> blabla= new List<Program>();
        blabla.Add(new Program("shubham", 1));
        blabla.Add(new Program("google", 3));
        blabla.Add(new Program("world",5));
        blabla.Add(new Program("hello", 5));
        blabla.Add(new Program("bye", 2));

contains names and ages. Now say we want to find names on condition So I Will use,

    Predicate<Program> test = delegate (Program p) { return p.age > 3; };
        List<Program> matches = blabla.FindAll(test);
        Action<Program> print = Console.WriteLine;
        matches.ForEach(print);

Escaping ampersand character in SQL string

set escape on
... node_name = 'Geometric Vectors \& Matrices' ...

or alternatively:

set define off
... node_name = 'Geometric Vectors & Matrices' ...

The first allows you to use the backslash to escape the &.

The second turns off & "globally" (no need to add a backslash anywhere). You can turn it on again by set define on and from that line on the ampersands will get their special meaning back, so you can turn it off for some parts of the script and not for others.

Is there a way to SELECT and UPDATE rows at the same time?

if it's inside the transaction, the database locking system will take care of concurrency issues. of course, if you use one (the mssql default is that it uses lock, so it states if you don't override that)

UICollectionView Set number of columns

First add UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout as protocol.

Then:

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize
{
        var columnCount = 3
        let width  = (view.frame.width - 20) / columnCount
        return CGSize(width: width, height: width)
}

NGINX: upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream

This happens because your upstream takes too much to answer the request and NGINX thinks the upstream already failed in processing the request, so it responds with an error. Just include and increase proxy_read_timeout in location config block. Same thing happened to me and I used 1 hour timeout for an internal app at work:

proxy_read_timeout 3600;

With this, NGINX will wait for an hour (3600s) for its upstream to return something.

How to get a function name as a string?

To get the current function's or method's name from inside it, consider:

import inspect

this_function_name = inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name

sys._getframe also works instead of inspect.currentframe although the latter avoids accessing a private function.

To get the calling function's name instead, consider f_back as in inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_code.co_name.


If also using mypy, it can complain that:

error: Item "None" of "Optional[FrameType]" has no attribute "f_code"

To suppress the above error, consider:

import inspect
import types
from typing import cast

this_function_name = cast(types.FrameType, inspect.currentframe()).f_code.co_name

How to insert an item at the beginning of an array in PHP?

For an associative array you can just use merge.

$arr = array('item2', 'item3', 'item4');
$arr = array_merge(array('item1'), $arr)

Explanation of 'String args[]' and static in 'public static void main(String[] args)'

The normal usage of static is to access the function directly with out any object creation. Same as in java main we could not create any object for that class to invoke the main method. It will execute automatically. If we want to execute manually we can call by using main() inside the class and ClassName.main from outside the class.

Call a child class method from a parent class object

Why don't you just write an empty method in Person and override it in the children classes? And call it, when it needs to be:

void caluculate(Person p){
  p.dotheCalculate();
}

This would mean you have to have the same method in both children classes, but i don't see why this would be a problem at all.

How can I scroll up more (increase the scroll buffer) in iTerm2?

There is an option “unlimited scrollback buffer” which you can find under Preferences > Profiles > Terminal or you can just pump up number of lines that you want to have in history in the same place.

Event detect when css property changed using Jquery

You can't. CSS does not support "events". Dare I ask what you need it for? Check out this post here on SO. I can't think of a reason why you would want to hook up an event to a style change. I'm assuming here that the style change is triggered somwhere else by a piece of javascript. Why not add extra logic there?

Available text color classes in Bootstrap

You can use text classes:

.text-primary
.text-secondary
.text-success
.text-danger
.text-warning
.text-info
.text-light
.text-dark
.text-muted
.text-white

use text classes in any tag where needed.

<p class="text-primary">.text-primary</p>
<p class="text-secondary">.text-secondary</p>
<p class="text-success">.text-success</p>
<p class="text-danger">.text-danger</p>
<p class="text-warning">.text-warning</p>
<p class="text-info">.text-info</p>
<p class="text-light bg-dark">.text-light</p>
<p class="text-dark">.text-dark</p>
<p class="text-muted">.text-muted</p>
<p class="text-white bg-dark">.text-white</p>

You can add your own classes or modify above classes as your requirement.

Pandas groupby month and year

There are different ways to do that.

  • I created the data frame to showcase the different techniques to filter your data.
df = pd.DataFrame({'Date':['01-Jun-13','03-Jun-13', '15-Aug-13', '20-Jan-14', '21-Feb-14'],

'abc':[100,-20,40,25,60],'xyz':[200,50,-5,15,80] })

  • I separated months/year/day and seperated month-year as you explained.
def getMonth(s):
  return s.split("-")[1]

def getDay(s):
  return s.split("-")[0]

def getYear(s):
  return s.split("-")[2]

def getYearMonth(s):
  return s.split("-")[1]+"-"+s.split("-")[2]
  • I created new columns: year, month, day and 'yearMonth'. In your case, you need one of both. You can group using two columns 'year','month' or using one column yearMonth
df['year']= df['Date'].apply(lambda x: getYear(x))
df['month']= df['Date'].apply(lambda x: getMonth(x))
df['day']= df['Date'].apply(lambda x: getDay(x))
df['YearMonth']= df['Date'].apply(lambda x: getYearMonth(x))

Output:

        Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
0  01-Jun-13  100  200   13   Jun  01    Jun-13
1  03-Jun-13  -20   50   13   Jun  03    Jun-13
2  15-Aug-13   40   -5   13   Aug  15    Aug-13
3  20-Jan-14   25   15   14   Jan  20    Jan-14
4  21-Feb-14   60   80   14   Feb  21    Feb-14
  • You can go through the different groups in groupby(..) items.

In this case, we are grouping by two columns:

for key,g in df.groupby(['year','month']):
    print key,g

Output:

('13', 'Jun')         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
0  01-Jun-13  100  200   13   Jun  01    Jun-13
1  03-Jun-13  -20   50   13   Jun  03    Jun-13
('13', 'Aug')         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
2  15-Aug-13   40   -5   13   Aug  15    Aug-13
('14', 'Jan')         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
3  20-Jan-14   25   15   14   Jan  20    Jan-14
('14', 'Feb')         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth

In this case, we are grouping by one column:

for key,g in df.groupby(['YearMonth']):
    print key,g

Output:

Jun-13         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
0  01-Jun-13  100  200   13   Jun  01    Jun-13
1  03-Jun-13  -20   50   13   Jun  03    Jun-13
Aug-13         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
2  15-Aug-13   40   -5   13   Aug  15    Aug-13
Jan-14         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
3  20-Jan-14   25   15   14   Jan  20    Jan-14
Feb-14         Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
4  21-Feb-14   60   80   14   Feb  21    Feb-14
  • In case you wanna access to specific item, you can use get_group

print df.groupby(['YearMonth']).get_group('Jun-13')

Output:

        Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
0  01-Jun-13  100  200   13   Jun  01    Jun-13
1  03-Jun-13  -20   50   13   Jun  03    Jun-13
  • Similar to get_group. This hack would help to filter values and get the grouped values.

This also would give the same result.

print df[df['YearMonth']=='Jun-13'] 

Output:

        Date  abc  xyz year month day YearMonth
0  01-Jun-13  100  200   13   Jun  01    Jun-13
1  03-Jun-13  -20   50   13   Jun  03    Jun-13

You can select list of abc or xyz values during Jun-13

print df[df['YearMonth']=='Jun-13'].abc.values
print df[df['YearMonth']=='Jun-13'].xyz.values

Output:

[100 -20]  #abc values
[200  50]  #xyz values

You can use this to go through the dates that you have classified as "year-month" and apply cretiria on it to get related data.

for x in set(df.YearMonth): 
    print df[df['YearMonth']==x].abc.values
    print df[df['YearMonth']==x].xyz.values

I recommend also to check this answer as well.

MS-access reports - The search key was not found in any record - on save

Python dictionary replace values

You cannot select on specific values (or types of values). You'd either make a reverse index (map numbers back to (lists of) keys) or you have to loop through all values every time.

If you are processing numbers in arbitrary order anyway, you may as well loop through all items:

for key, value in inputdict.items():
    # do something with value
    inputdict[key] = newvalue

otherwise I'd go with the reverse index:

from collections import defaultdict

reverse = defaultdict(list)
for key, value in inputdict.items():
    reverse[value].append(key)

Now you can look up keys by value:

for key in reverse[value]:
    inputdict[key] = newvalue

Git removing upstream from local repository

In git version 2.14.3,

You can remove upstream using

git branch --unset-upstream

The above command will also remove the tracking stream branch, hence if you want to rebase from repository you have use

git rebase origin master 

instead of git pull --rebase

What does -z mean in Bash?

-z

string is null, that is, has zero length

String=''   # Zero-length ("null") string variable.

else
  echo "\$String is NOT null."
fi     # $String is null.

How to read the Stock CPU Usage data

This should be the Unix load average. Wikipedia has a nice article about this.

The numbers show the average load of the CPU in different time intervals. From left to right: last minute/last five minutes/last fifteen minutes

Convert a string to a double - is this possible?

Just use floatval().

E.g.:

$var = '122.34343';
$float_value_of_var = floatval($var);
echo $float_value_of_var; // 122.34343

And in case you wonder doubleval() is just an alias for floatval().

And as the other say, in a financial application, float values are critical as these are not precise enough. E.g. adding two floats could result in something like 12.30000000001 and this error could propagate.

How do you display a Toast from a background thread on Android?

This is similar to other answers, however updated for new available apis and much cleaner. Also, does not assume you're in an Activity Context.

public class MyService extends AnyContextSubclass {

    public void postToastMessage(final String message) {
        Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());

        handler.post(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                Toast.makeText(getContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
}

Return file in ASP.Net Core Web API

You can return FileResult with this methods:

1: Return FileStreamResult

    [HttpGet("get-file-stream/{id}"]
    public async Task<FileStreamResult> DownloadAsync(string id)
    {
        var fileName="myfileName.txt";
        var mimeType="application/...."; 
        var stream = await GetFileStreamById(id);

        return new FileStreamResult(stream, mimeType)
        {
            FileDownloadName = fileName
        };
    }

2: Return FileContentResult

    [HttpGet("get-file-content/{id}"]
    public async Task<FileContentResult> DownloadAsync(string id)
    {
        var fileName="myfileName.txt";
        var mimeType="application/...."; 
        var fileBytes = await GetFileBytesById(id);

        return new FileContentResult(fileBytes, mimeType)
        {
            FileDownloadName = fileName
        };
    }

How to count duplicate value in an array in javascript

Nobody responding seems to be using the Map() built-in for this, which tends to be my go-to combined with Array.prototype.reduce():

_x000D_
_x000D_
const data = ['a','b','c','d','d','e','a','b','c','f','g','h','h','h','e','a'];_x000D_
const result = data.reduce((a, c) => a.set(c, (a.get(c) || 0) + 1), new Map());_x000D_
console.log(...result);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

N.b., you'll have to polyfill Map() if wanting to use it in older browsers.

Limit the height of a responsive image with css

The trick is to add both max-height: 100%; and max-width: 100%; to .container img. Example CSS:

.container {
  width: 300px;
  border: dashed blue 1px;
}

.container img {
  max-height: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;
}

In this way, you can vary the specified width of .container in whatever way you want (200px or 10% for example), and the image will be no larger than its natural dimensions. (You could specify pixels instead of 100% if you didn't want to rely on the natural size of the image.)

Why does CSV file contain a blank line in between each data line when outputting with Dictwriter in Python

Changing the 'w' (write) in this line:

output = csv.DictWriter(open('file3.csv','w'), delimiter=',', fieldnames=headers)

To 'wb' (write binary) fixed this problem for me:

output = csv.DictWriter(open('file3.csv','wb'), delimiter=',', fieldnames=headers)

Database cluster and load balancing

Clustering uses shared storage of some kind (a drive cage or a SAN, for example), and puts two database front-ends on it. The front end servers share an IP address and cluster network name that clients use to connect, and they decide between themselves who is currently in charge of serving client requests.

If you're asking about a particular database server, add that to your question and we can add details on their implementation, but at its core, that's what clustering is.

Clear data in MySQL table with PHP?

TRUNCATE will blank your table and reset primary key DELETE will also make your table blank but it will not reset primary key.

we can use for truncate

TRUNCATE TABLE tablename

we can use for delete

DELETE FROM tablename

we can also give conditions as below

DELETE FROM tablename WHERE id='xyz'

Convert base64 png data to javascript file objects

You can create a Blob from your base64 data, and then read it asDataURL:

var img_b64 = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
var png = img_b64.split(',')[1];

var the_file = new Blob([window.atob(png)],  {type: 'image/png', encoding: 'utf-8'});

var fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = function ( oFREvent ) {
    var v = oFREvent.target.result.split(',')[1]; // encoding is messed up here, so we fix it
    v = atob(v);
    var good_b64 = btoa(decodeURIComponent(escape(v)));
    document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src = "data:image/png;base64," + good_b64;
};
fr.readAsDataURL(the_file);

Full example (includes junk code and console log): http://jsfiddle.net/tTYb8/


Alternatively, you can use .readAsText, it works fine, and its more elegant.. but for some reason text does not sound right ;)

fr.onload = function ( oFREvent ) {
    document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src = "data:image/png;base64,"
    + btoa(oFREvent.target.result);
};
fr.readAsText(the_file, "utf-8"); // its important to specify encoding here

C++ - Decimal to binary converting

There is in fact a very simple way to do so. What we do is using a recursive function which is given the number (int) in the parameter. It is pretty easy to understand. You can add other conditions/variations too. Here is the code:

int binary(int num)
{
    int rem;
    if (num <= 1)
        {
            cout << num;
            return num;
        }
    rem = num % 2;
    binary(num / 2);
    cout << rem;
    return rem;
}

Save array in mysql database

You can store the array using serialize/unserialize. With that solution they cannot easily be used from other programming languages, so you may consider using json_encode/json_decode instead (which gives you a widely supported format). Avoid using implode/explode for this since you'll probably end up with bugs or security flaws.

Note that this makes your table non-normalized, which may be a bad idea since you cannot easily query the data. Therefore consider this carefully before going forward. May you need to query the data for statistics or otherwise? Are there other reasons to normalize the data?

Also, don't save the raw $_POST array. Someone can easily make their own web form and post data to your site, thereby sending a really large form which takes up lots of space. Save those fields you want and make sure to validate the data before saving it (so you won't get invalid values).

Regex to get string between curly braces

i have looked into the other answers, and a vital logic seems to be missing from them . ie, select everything between two CONSECUTIVE brackets,but NOT the brackets

so, here is my answer

Only get hash value using md5sum (without filename)

You can use cut to split the line on spaces and return only the first such field:

md5=$(md5sum "$my_iso_file" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

Reshape an array in NumPy

numpy has a great tool for this task ("numpy.reshape") link to reshape documentation

a = [[ 0  1]
 [ 2  3]
 [ 4  5]
 [ 6  7]
 [ 8  9]
 [10 11]
 [12 13]
 [14 15]
 [16 17]]

`numpy.reshape(a,(3,3))`

you can also use the "-1" trick

`a = a.reshape(-1,3)`

the "-1" is a wild card that will let the numpy algorithm decide on the number to input when the second dimension is 3

so yes.. this would also work: a = a.reshape(3,-1)

and this: a = a.reshape(-1,2) would do nothing

and this: a = a.reshape(-1,9) would change the shape to (2,9)

How to list all users in a Linux group?

getent group insert_group_name_here | awk -F ':' '{print $4}' | sed 's|,| |g'

    do
        userarray+=("$i")
    done

or

userarray+=("$(getent group GROUPNAME | awk -F ':' '{print $4}' | sed 's|,| |g')")

Java - creating a new thread

You need to do two things:

  • Start the thread
  • Wait for the thread to finish (die) before proceeding

ie

one.start();
one.join();

If you don't start() it, nothing will happen - creating a Thread doesn't execute it.

If you don't join) it, your main thread may finish and exit and the whole program exit before the other thread has been scheduled to execute. It's indeterminate whether it runs or not if you don't join it. The new thread may usually run, but may sometimes not run. Better to be certain.

read complete file without using loop in java

If you are using Java 5/6, you can use Apache Commons IO for read file to string. The class org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils contais several method for read files.

e.g. using the method FileUtils#readFileToString:

File file = new File("abc.txt");
String content = FileUtils.readFileToString(file);

WAMP won't turn green. And the VCRUNTIME140.dll error

As Oriol said, you need the following redistributables before installing WAMP.

From the readme.txt

BEFORE proceeding with the installation of Wampserver, you must ensure that certain elements are installed on your system, otherwise Wampserver will absolutely not run, and in addition, the installation will be faulty and you need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing the elements that were missing.

Make sure you are "up to date" in the redistributable packages VC9, VC10, VC11, VC13 and VC14 Even if you think you are up to date, install each package as administrator and if message "Already installed", validate Repair.

The following packages (VC9, VC10, VC11) are imperatively required to Wampserver 2.4, 2.5 and 3.0, even if you use only Apache and PHP versions VC11 and VC14 is required for PHP 7 and Apache 2.4.17

AWS S3: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint

During the creation of S3Client you can specify the endpoint mapping to a particular region. If default of s3.amazonaws.com then bucket will be created in us-east-1 which is North Virginia.

More details on S3 endpoints and regions in AWS docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region.

So, always make sure about the endpoint/region while creating the S3Client and access S3 resouces using the same client in the same region.

If the bucket is created from AWS S3 Console, then check the region from the console for that bucket then create a S3 Client in that region using the endpoint details mentioned in the above link.

indexOf Case Sensitive?

Had the same problem. I tried regular expression and the apache StringUtils.indexOfIgnoreCase-Method, but both were pretty slow... So I wrote an short method myself...:

public static int indexOfIgnoreCase(final String chkstr, final String searchStr, int i) {
    if (chkstr != null && searchStr != null && i > -1) {
          int serchStrLength = searchStr.length();
          char[] searchCharLc = new char[serchStrLength];
          char[] searchCharUc = new char[serchStrLength];
          searchStr.toUpperCase().getChars(0, serchStrLength, searchCharUc, 0);
          searchStr.toLowerCase().getChars(0, serchStrLength, searchCharLc, 0);
          int j = 0;
          for (int checkStrLength = chkstr.length(); i < checkStrLength; i++) {
                char charAt = chkstr.charAt(i);
                if (charAt == searchCharLc[j] || charAt == searchCharUc[j]) {
                     if (++j == serchStrLength) {
                           return i - j + 1;
                     }
                } else { // faster than: else if (j != 0) {
                         i = i - j;
                         j = 0;
                    }
              }
        }
        return -1;
  }

According to my tests its much faster... (at least if your searchString is rather short). if you have any suggestions for improvement or bugs it would be nice to let me know... (since I use this code in an application ;-)

How to fully clean bin and obj folders within Visual Studio?

I can't add a comment yet (no minimal reputation reached)
so I leave this reply to underline that:

the "BeforeBuild" action with <RemoveDir Directories="$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)" /> is great but, for me, is conflicting with an Entity Framework model included into the same project.

The error I receive is:

Error reading resource '{mymodel}.csdl' -- 'Could not find a part of the path '{myprojectpath}\obj\Release\edmxResourcesToEmbed\{mymodel}.csdl

I suppose, the "edmxResourcesToembed" is created before the "BeforeBuild" target action is executed.

How to find out when an Oracle table was updated the last time

You would need to add a trigger on insert, update, delete that sets a value in another table to sysdate.

setState(...): Can only update a mounted or mounting component. This usually means you called setState() on an unmounted component. This is a no-op

A lot of the answers in this thread get the point of using refs, but I think a complete example would be good. Since you're operating on an actual DOM node by using the event listener and stepping out of the React context, a ref should be considered the standard solution. Here's a complete example:

class someComponent extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.node = null
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div ref={node => { this.node = node }}>Content</div>
    )
  }
  handleEvent(event) {
    if (this.node) {
      this.setState({...})
    }
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    //as soon as render completes, the node will be registered.
    const handleEvent = this.handleEvent.bind(this)
    this.node.addEventListener('click', handleEvent)
  }
  componentWillUnmount() {
    const handleEvent = this.handleEvent.bind(this)
    this.node.removeEventListener('click', handleEvent)
  }
}

Datagrid binding in WPF

PLEASE do not use object as a class name:

public class MyObject //better to choose an appropriate name
{
    string id;
    DateTime date;
    public string ID
    {
       get { return id; }
       set { id = value; }
    }
    public DateTime Date
    {
       get { return date; }
       set { date = value; }
    }
}

You should implement INotifyPropertyChanged for this class and of course call it on the Property setter. Otherwise changes are not reflected in your ui.

Your Viewmodel class/ dialogbox class should have a Property of your MyObject list. ObservableCollection<MyObject> is the way to go:

public ObservableCollection<MyObject> MyList
{
     get...
     set...
}

In your xaml you should set the Itemssource to your collection of MyObject. (the Datacontext have to be your dialogbox class!)

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Source=MyList}"  AutoGenerateColumns="False">
   <DataGrid.Columns>                
     <DataGridTextColumn Header="ID" Binding="{Binding ID}"/>
     <DataGridTextColumn Header="Date" Binding="{Binding Date}"/>
   </DataGrid.Columns>

Is Laravel really this slow?

I know this is a little old question, but things changed. Laravel isn't that slow. It's, as mentioned, synced folders are slow. However, on Windows 10 I wasn't able to use rsync. I tried both cygwin and minGW. It seems like rsync is incompatible with git for windows's version of ssh.

Here is what worked for me: NFS.

Vagrant docs says:

NFS folders do not work on Windows hosts. Vagrant will ignore your request for NFS synced folders on Windows.

This isn't true anymore. We can use vagrant-winnfsd plugin nowadays. It's really simple to install:

  1. Execute vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd
  2. Change in your Vagrantfile: config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "nfs"
  3. Add to Vagrantfile: config.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"

That's all I needed to make NFS work. Laravel response time decreased from 500ms to 100ms for me.

Pass in an enum as a method parameter

If you want to pass in the value to use, you have to use the enum type you declared and directly use the supplied value:

public string CreateFile(string id, string name, string description,
              /* --> */  SupportedPermissions supportedPermissions)
{
    file = new File
    {  
        Name = name,
        Id = id,
        Description = description,
        SupportedPermissions = supportedPermissions // <---
    };

    return file.Id;
}

If you instead want to use a fixed value, you don't need any parameter at all. Instead, directly use the enum value. The syntax is similar to a static member of a class:

public string CreateFile(string id, string name, string description) // <---
{
    file = new File
    {  
        Name = name,
        Id = id,
        Description = description,
        SupportedPermissions = SupportedPermissions.basic // <---
    };

    return file.Id;
}

Making an array of integers in iOS

If the order of your integers is not required, and if there are only unique values

you can also use NSIndexSet or NSMutableIndexSet You will be able to easily add and remove integers, or check if your array contains an integer with

- (void)addIndex:(NSUInteger)index
- (void)removeIndex:(NSUInteger)index
- (BOOL)containsIndexes:(NSIndexSet *)indexSet

Check the documentation for more info.

How do I select elements of an array given condition?

For 2D arrays, you can do this. Create a 2D mask using the condition. Typecast the condition mask to int or float, depending on the array, and multiply it with the original array.

In [8]: arr
Out[8]: 
array([[ 1.,  2.,  3.,  4.,  5.],
       [ 6.,  7.,  8.,  9., 10.]])

In [9]: arr*(arr % 2 == 0).astype(np.int) 
Out[9]: 
array([[ 0.,  2.,  0.,  4.,  0.],
       [ 6.,  0.,  8.,  0., 10.]])

How to change column order in a table using sql query in sql server 2005?

ALTER TABLE `status` CHANGE `priority` `priority` INT(11) NULL DEFAULT NULL AFTER `price`;

SQL string value spanning multiple lines in query

with your VARCHAR, you may also need to specify the length, or its usually good to

What about grabbing the text, making a sting of it, then putting it into the query witrh

String TableName = "ComplicatedTableNameHere";  
EditText editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextIDhere); 
String editTextString1 = editText1.getText().toString();  

BROKEN DOWN

String TableName = "ComplicatedTableNameHere";            
    //sets the table name as a string so you can refer to TableName instead of writing out your table name everytime

EditText editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextIDhere); 
    //gets the text from your edit text fieldfield 
    //editText1 = your edit text name
    //EditTextIDhere = the id of your text field

String editTextString1 = editText1.getText().toString();  
    //sets the edit text as a string
    //editText1 is the name of the Edit text from the (EditText) we defined above
    //editTextString1 = the string name you will refer to in future

then use

       /* Insert data to a Table*/
       myDB.execSQL("INSERT INTO "
         + TableName
         + " (Column_Name, Column_Name2, Column_Name3, Column_Name4)"
         + " VALUES ( "+EditTextString1+", 'Column_Value2','Column_Value3','Column_Value4');");

Hope this helps some what...

How to append one DataTable to another DataTable

Consider a solution that will neatly handle arbitrarily many tables.

//ASSUMPTION: All tables must have the same columns
var tables = new List<DataTable>();
tables.Add(oneTableToRuleThemAll);
tables.Add(oneTableToFindThem);
tables.Add(oneTableToBringThemAll);
tables.Add(andInTheDarknessBindThem);
//Or in the real world, you might be getting a collection of tables from some abstracted data source.

//behold, a table too great and terrible to imagine
var theOneTable = tables.SelectMany(dt => dt.AsEnumerable()).CopyToDataTable();

Encapsulated into a helper for future reuse:

public static DataTable CombineDataTables(params DataTable[] args)
{
    return args.SelectMany(dt => dt.AsEnumerable()).CopyToDataTable();
}

Just have a few tables declared in code?

var combined = CombineDataTables(dt1,dt2,dt3);

Want to combine into one of the existing tables instead of creating a new one?

dt1 = CombineDataTables(dt1,dt2,dt3);

Already have a collection of tables, instead of declared one by one?

//Pretend variable tables already exists
var tables = new[] { dt1, dt2, dt3 };
var combined = CombineDataTables(tables);

"static const" vs "#define" vs "enum"

I am not sure if I am right but in my opinion calling #defined value is much faster than calling any other normally declared variable (or const value). It's because when program is running and it needs to use some normally declared variable it needs to jump to exact place in memory to get that variable.

In opposite when it use #defined value, the program don't need to jump to any allocated memory, it just takes the value. If #define myValue 7 and the program calling myValue, it behaves exactly the same as when it just calls 7.

Is it possible to use std::string in a constexpr?

Since the problem is the non-trivial destructor so if the destructor is removed from the std::string, it's possible to define a constexpr instance of that type. Like this

struct constexpr_str {
    char const* str;

Why is there still a row limit in Microsoft Excel?

In a word - speed. An index for up to a million rows fits in a 32-bit word, so it can be used efficiently on 32-bit processors. Function arguments that fit in a CPU register are extremely efficient, while ones that are larger require accessing memory on each function call, a far slower operation. Updating a spreadsheet can be an intensive operation involving many cell references, so speed is important. Besides, the Excel team expects that anyone dealing with more than a million rows will be using a database rather than a spreadsheet.

Enable ASP.NET ASMX web service for HTTP POST / GET requests

Actually, I found a somewhat quirky way to do this. Add the protocol to your web.config, but inside a location element. Specify the webservice location as the path attribute, like so:

<location path="YourWebservice.asmx">
  <system.web>
    <webServices>
      <protocols>
        <add name="HttpGet"/>
        <add name="HttpPost"/>
      </protocols>
    </webServices>
  </system.web>
</location>

What's the difference between import java.util.*; and import java.util.Date; ?

but what I got is something like this: Date@124bbbf  
while I change the import to: import java.util.Date;  
the code works perfectly, why? 

What do you mean by "works perfectly"? The output of printing a Date object is the same no matter whether you imported java.util.* or java.util.Date. The output that you get when printing objects is the representation of the object by the toString() method of the corresponding class.

How to get current CPU and RAM usage in Python?

you can read /proc/meminfo to get used memory

file1 = open('/proc/meminfo', 'r') 

for line in file1: 
    if 'MemTotal' in line: 
        x = line.split()
        memTotal = int(x[1])
        
    if 'Buffers' in line: 
        x = line.split()
        buffers = int(x[1])
        
    if 'Cached' in line and 'SwapCached' not in line: 
        x = line.split()
        cached = int(x[1])
    
    if 'MemFree' in line: 
        x = line.split()
        memFree = int(x[1])

file1.close()

percentage_used = int ( ( memTotal - (buffers + cached + memFree) ) / memTotal * 100 )
print(percentage_used)

CASE (Contains) rather than equal statement

Pseudo code, something like:

CASE
  When CHARINDEX('lactulose', dbo.Table.Column) > 0 Then 'BP Medication'
ELSE ''
END AS 'Medication Type'

This does not care where the keyword is found in the list and avoids depending on formatting of spaces and commas.

Error: select command denied to user '<userid>'@'<ip-address>' for table '<table-name>'

The problem is most probably between a . and a _. Say in my query I put

SELECT ..... FROM LOCATION.PT

instead of

SELECT ..... FROM LOCATION_PT

So I think MySQL would think LOCATION as a database name and was giving access privilege error.

Take multiple lists into dataframe

How to convert JSON to a Ruby hash

You can use the nice_hash gem: https://github.com/MarioRuiz/nice_hash

require 'nice_hash'
my_string = '{"val":"test","val1":"test1","val2":"test2"}'

# on my_hash will have the json as a hash, even when nested with arrays
my_hash = my_string.json

# you can filter and get what you want even when nested with arrays
vals = my_string.json(:val1, :val2)

# even you can access the keys like this:
puts my_hash._val1
puts my_hash.val1
puts my_hash[:val1]

C++ Fatal Error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

From msdn

When you created the project, you made the wrong choice of application type. When asked whether your project was a console application or a windows application or a DLL or a static library, you made the wrong chose windows application (wrong choice).

Go back, start over again, go to File -> New -> Project -> Win32 Console Application -> name your app -> click next -> click application settings.

For the application type, make sure Console Application is selected (this step is the vital step).

The main for a windows application is called WinMain, for a DLL is called DllMain, for a .NET application is called Main(cli::array ^), and a static library doesn't have a main. Only in a console app is main called main

from list of integers, get number closest to a given value

It's important to note that Lauritz's suggestion idea of using bisect does not actually find the closest value in MyList to MyNumber. Instead, bisect finds the next value in order after MyNumber in MyList. So in OP's case you'd actually get the position of 44 returned instead of the position of 4.

>>> myList = [1, 3, 4, 44, 88] 
>>> myNumber = 5
>>> pos = (bisect_left(myList, myNumber))
>>> myList[pos]
...
44

To get the value that's closest to 5 you could try converting the list to an array and using argmin from numpy like so.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> myNumber = 5   
>>> myList = [1, 3, 4, 44, 88] 
>>> myArray = np.array(myList)
>>> pos = (np.abs(myArray-myNumber)).argmin()
>>> myArray[pos]
...
4

I don't know how fast this would be though, my guess would be "not very".

How do I print a list of "Build Settings" in Xcode project?

This has been answered above, but I wanted to suggest an alternative.

When in the Build Settings for you project or target, you can go to the Editor menu and select Show Setting Names from the menu. This will change all of the options in the Build Settings pane to the build variable names. The option in the menu changes to Show Setting Titles, select this to change back to the original view.

This can be handy when you know what build setting you want to use in a script, toggle the setting names in the menu and you can see the variable name.

Best way to write to the console in PowerShell

The middle one writes to the pipeline. Write-Host and Out-Host writes to the console. 'echo' is an alias for Write-Output which writes to the pipeline as well. The best way to write to the console would be using the Write-Host cmdlet.

When an object is written to the pipeline it can be consumed by other commands in the chain. For example:

"hello world" | Do-Something

but this won't work since Write-Host writes to the console, not to the pipeline (Do-Something will not get the string):

Write-Host "hello world" | Do-Something

Message "Async callback was not invoked within the 5000 ms timeout specified by jest.setTimeout"

In case someone doesn't fix the problem use methods above. I fixed mine by surrounding the async func by an arrow function. As in:

    test(`Assert that you can click the profile tab`, (() => {
      async () => {
        await page.waitForSelector(PROFILE.TAB)
        await page.click(PROFILE.TAB)
      }
    })(), 30000);
});

Count how many files in directory PHP

Maybe usefull to someone. On a Windows system, you can let Windows do the job by calling the dir-command. I use an absolute path, like E:/mydir/mysubdir.

$dir=str_replace('/','\\',$mydir);
$total = exec('dir '.$dir.' /b/a-d | find /v /c "::"');

Proxy with express.js

Ok, here's a ready-to-copy-paste answer using the require('request') npm module and an environment variable *instead of an hardcoded proxy):

coffeescript

app.use (req, res, next) ->                                                 
  r = false
  method = req.method.toLowerCase().replace(/delete/, 'del')
  switch method
    when 'get', 'post', 'del', 'put'
      r = request[method](
        uri: process.env.PROXY_URL + req.url
        json: req.body)
    else
      return res.send('invalid method')
  req.pipe(r).pipe res

javascript:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var method, r;
  method = req.method.toLowerCase().replace(/delete/,"del");
  switch (method) {
    case "get":
    case "post":
    case "del":
    case "put":
      r = request[method]({
        uri: process.env.PROXY_URL + req.url,
        json: req.body
      });
      break;
    default:
      return res.send("invalid method");
  }
  return req.pipe(r).pipe(res);
});

Centering Bootstrap input fields

You can use offsets to make a column appear centered, just use an offset equal to half of the remaining size of the row, in your case I would suggest using col-lg-4 with col-lg-offset-4, that's (12-4)/2.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-4 col-lg-offset-4">
        <div class="input-group">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" /> 
            <span class="input-group-btn">
                <button class="btn btn-default" type="button">Go!</button>
            </span>
        </div><!-- /input-group -->
    </div><!-- /.col-lg-4 -->
</div><!-- /.row -->

Demo fiddle

Note that this technique only works for even column sizes (.col-X-2, .col-X-4, col-X-6, etc...), if you want to support any size you can use margin: 0 auto; but you need to remove the float from the element too, I recommend a custom CSS class like the following:

.col-centered{
    margin: 0 auto;
    float: none;
}

Generate fixed length Strings filled with whitespaces

Here's a neat trick:

// E.g pad("sss","00000000"); should deliver "00000sss".
public static String pad(String string, String pad) {
  /*
   * Add the pad to the left of string then take as many characters from the right 
   * that is the same length as the pad.
   * This would normally mean starting my substring at 
   * pad.length() + string.length() - pad.length() but obviously the pad.length()'s 
   * cancel.
   *
   * 00000000sss
   *    ^ ----- Cut before this character - pos = 8 + 3 - 8 = 3
   */
  return (pad + string).substring(string.length());
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
  try {
    System.out.println("Pad 'Hello' with '          ' produces: '"+pad("Hello","          ")+"'");
    // Prints: Pad 'Hello' with '          ' produces: '     Hello'
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

How to get all the values of input array element jquery

Use:

function getvalues(){
var inps = document.getElementsByName('pname[]');
for (var i = 0; i <inps.length; i++) {
var inp=inps[i];
    alert("pname["+i+"].value="+inp.value);
}
}

Here is Demo.

how to add <script>alert('test');</script> inside a text box?

I want to alert('test'); in an input type text but it should not execute the alert(alert prompt).

<input type="text" value="<script>alert('test');</script>" />

Produces:

enter image description here

You can do this programatically via JavaScript. First obtain a reference to the input element, then set the value attribute.

var inputElement = document.querySelector("input");
inputElement.value = "<script>alert('test');<\/script>";

How can I do width = 100% - 100px in CSS?

Are you using standards mode? This solution depends on it I think.

If you're trying to make 2 columns you could do something like this:

<div id="outer">
    <div id="left">
        sidebar
    </div>
    <div id="main">
        lorem ispsum etc... 
    </div>
</div>

Then use CSS to style it:

div#outer
{
    width:100%;
    height: 500px;
}

div#left
{
    width: 100px;
    height: 100%;
    float:left;
    background: green;
}

div#main
{
   width: auto;
   margin-left: 100px; /* same as div#left width */
   height: 100%;
   background:red;
}

If you don't want 2 columns you can probably remove <div id="left">

Load Image from javascript

you can just append another hidden img element and swap them in onload event.

Or use single image element and use javascript like:

var _img = document.getElementById('id1');
var newImg = new Image;
newImg.onload = function() {
    _img.src = this.src;
}
newImg.src = 'http://whatever';

this code should preload the image and show it when it's ready

Master Page Weirdness - "Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page."

Here's another way using Visual Studio: If you do New Item in Visual Studio and you select Web Form, it will create a standalone *.aspx web form, which is what you have for your current web form (is this what you did?). You need to select Web Content Form and then select the master page you want attached to it.

    UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL
);

Remember to include UrlGeneratorInterface.

use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface;

CSS Calc Viewport Units Workaround?

Doing this with a CSS Grid is pretty easy. The trick is to set the grid's height to 100vw, then assign one of the rows to 75vw, and the remaining one (optional) to 1fr. This gives you, from what I assume is what you're after, a ratio-locked resizing container.

Example here: https://codesandbox.io/s/21r4z95p7j

You can even utilize the bottom gutter space if you so choose, simply by adding another "item".

Edit: StackOverflow's built-in code runner has some side effects. Pop over to the codesandbox link and you'll see the ratio in action.

How to make sure that string is valid JSON using JSON.NET

Through Code:

Your best bet is to use parse inside a try-catch and catch exception in case of failed parsing. (I am not aware of any TryParse method).

(Using JSON.Net)

Simplest way would be to Parse the string using JToken.Parse, and also to check if the string starts with { or [ and ends with } or ] respectively (added from this answer):

private static bool IsValidJson(string strInput)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(strInput)) { return false;}
    strInput = strInput.Trim();
    if ((strInput.StartsWith("{") && strInput.EndsWith("}")) || //For object
        (strInput.StartsWith("[") && strInput.EndsWith("]"))) //For array
    {
        try
        {
            var obj = JToken.Parse(strInput);
            return true;
        }
        catch (JsonReaderException jex)
        {
            //Exception in parsing json
            Console.WriteLine(jex.Message);
            return false;
        }
        catch (Exception ex) //some other exception
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            return false;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

The reason to add checks for { or [ etc was based on the fact that JToken.Parse would parse the values such as "1234" or "'a string'" as a valid token. The other option could be to use both JObject.Parse and JArray.Parse in parsing and see if anyone of them succeeds, but I believe checking for {} and [] should be easier. (Thanks @RhinoDevel for pointing it out)

Without JSON.Net

You can utilize .Net framework 4.5 System.Json namespace ,like:

string jsonString = "someString";
try
{
    var tmpObj = JsonValue.Parse(jsonString);
}
catch (FormatException fex)
{
    //Invalid json format
    Console.WriteLine(fex);
}
catch (Exception ex) //some other exception
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}

(But, you have to install System.Json through Nuget package manager using command: PM> Install-Package System.Json -Version 4.0.20126.16343 on Package Manager Console) (taken from here)

Non-Code way:

Usually, when there is a small json string and you are trying to find a mistake in the json string, then I personally prefer to use available on-line tools. What I usually do is:

jQuery AJAX Character Encoding

For my PHP application the solution was include utf8_decode function for each variable get in $_POST.

Ex: (SERVER SIDE)

if( strtoupper($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) == "POST" ){
$variable = htmlentities($_POST['variable']); // wrong
$variable = htmlentities( utf8_decode($_POST['variable']) ); // right
}

Abraços!!! (Bye Bye!!!)

Differences in boolean operators: & vs && and | vs ||

The operators && and || are short-circuiting, meaning they will not evaluate their right-hand expression if the value of the left-hand expression is enough to determine the result.

Unable to get spring boot to automatically create database schema

If your entity class isn't in the same package as your main class, you can use @EntityScan annotation in the main class, specifying the Entity you want to save or package too. Like your model package.

About:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = create

You can use the option update. It won't erase any data, and will create tables in the same way.

Good luck!

What is Type-safe?

Type safety means that the compiler will validate types while compiling, and throw an error if you try to assign the wrong type to a variable.

Some simple examples:

// Fails, Trying to put an integer in a string
String one = 1;
// Also fails.
int foo = "bar";

This also applies to method arguments, since you are passing explicit types to them:

int AddTwoNumbers(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

If I tried to call that using:

int Sum = AddTwoNumbers(5, "5");

The compiler would throw an error, because I am passing a string ("5"), and it is expecting an integer.

In a loosely typed language, such as javascript, I can do the following:

function AddTwoNumbers(a, b)
{
    return a + b;
}

if I call it like this:

Sum = AddTwoNumbers(5, "5");

Javascript automaticly converts the 5 to a string, and returns "55". This is due to javascript using the + sign for string concatenation. To make it type-aware, you would need to do something like:

function AddTwoNumbers(a, b)
{
    return Number(a) + Number(b);
}

Or, possibly:

function AddOnlyTwoNumbers(a, b)
{
    if (isNaN(a) || isNaN(b))
        return false;
    return Number(a) + Number(b);
}

if I call it like this:

Sum = AddTwoNumbers(5, " dogs");

Javascript automatically converts the 5 to a string, and appends them, to return "5 dogs".

Not all dynamic languages are as forgiving as javascript (In fact a dynamic language does not implicity imply a loose typed language (see Python)), some of them will actually give you a runtime error on invalid type casting.

While its convenient, it opens you up to a lot of errors that can be easily missed, and only identified by testing the running program. Personally, I prefer to have my compiler tell me if I made that mistake.

Now, back to C#...

C# supports a language feature called covariance, this basically means that you can substitute a base type for a child type and not cause an error, for example:

 public class Foo : Bar
 {
 }

Here, I created a new class (Foo) that subclasses Bar. I can now create a method:

 void DoSomething(Bar myBar)

And call it using either a Foo, or a Bar as an argument, both will work without causing an error. This works because C# knows that any child class of Bar will implement the interface of Bar.

However, you cannot do the inverse:

void DoSomething(Foo myFoo)

In this situation, I cannot pass Bar to this method, because the compiler does not know that Bar implements Foo's interface. This is because a child class can (and usually will) be much different than the parent class.

Of course, now I've gone way off the deep end and beyond the scope of the original question, but its all good stuff to know :)

Highlight label if checkbox is checked

If you have

<div>
  <input type="checkbox" class="check-with-label" id="idinput" />
  <label class="label-for-check" for="idinput">My Label</label>
</div>

you can do

.check-with-label:checked + .label-for-check {
  font-weight: bold;
}

See this working. Note that this won't work in non-modern browsers.

Python nonlocal statement

with 'nonlocal' inner functions(ie;nested inner functions) can get read & 'write' permission for that specific variable of the outer parent function. And nonlocal can be used only inside inner functions eg:

a = 10
def Outer(msg):
    a = 20
    b = 30
    def Inner():
        c = 50
        d = 60
        print("MU LCL =",locals())
        nonlocal a
        a = 100
        ans = a+c
        print("Hello from Inner",ans)       
        print("value of a Inner : ",a)
    Inner()
    print("value of a Outer : ",a)

res = Outer("Hello World")
print(res)
print("value of a Global : ",a)

How to get primary key of table?

A better way is to use SHOW KEYS since you don't always have access to information_schema. The following works:

SHOW KEYS FROM table WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'

Column_name will contain the name of the primary key.

Specifying a custom DateTime format when serializing with Json.Net

With below converter

public class CustomDateTimeConverter : IsoDateTimeConverter
    {
        public CustomDateTimeConverter()
        {
            DateTimeFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";
        }

        public CustomDateTimeConverter(string format)
        {
            DateTimeFormat = format;
        }
    }

Can use it with a default custom format

class ReturnObjectA 
{
    [JsonConverter(typeof(DateFormatConverter))]
    public DateTime ReturnDate { get;set;}
}

Or any specified format for a property

class ReturnObjectB 
{
    [JsonConverter(typeof(DateFormatConverter), "dd MMM yy")]
    public DateTime ReturnDate { get;set;}
}

How to make System.out.println() shorter

A minor point perhaps, but:

import static System.out;

public class Tester
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        out.println("Hello!"); 
    }
}

...generated a compile time error. I corrected the error by editing the first line to read:

import static java.lang.System.out;

Are HTTP cookies port specific?

It's optional.

The port may be specified so cookies can be port specific. It's not necessary, the web server / application must care of this.

How can I remove a key from a Python dictionary?

Single filter on key

  • return "key" and remove it from my_dict if "key" exists in my_dict
  • return None if "key" doesn't exist in my_dict

this will change my_dict in place (mutable)

my_dict.pop('key', None)

Multiple filters on keys

generate a new dict (immutable)

dic1 = {
    "x":1,
    "y": 2,
    "z": 3
}

def func1(item):
    return  item[0]!= "x" and item[0] != "y"

print(
    dict(
        filter(
            lambda item: item[0] != "x" and item[0] != "y", 
            dic1.items()
            )
    )
)

ORA-28000: the account is locked error getting frequently

Here other solution to only unlock the blocked user. From your command prompt log as SYSDBA:

sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Then type the following command:

alter user <your_username> account unlock;

HTML.HiddenFor value set

It is just Value, not @value.. Try it. I'm not sure about @Model.title, maybe it's just Model.title

C compiling - "undefined reference to"?

As stated by a few others, this is a linking error. The section of code where this function is being called doesn't know what this function is. It either needs to be declared in a header file an defined in its own source file, or defined or declared in the same source file, above where it's being called.

Edit: In older versions of C, C89/C90, function declarations weren't actually required. So, you could just add the definition anywhere in the file in which you're using the function, even after the call and the compiler would infer the declaration. For example,

int main()
{
  int a = func();
}

int func()
{
   return 1;
}

However, this isn't good practice today and most languages, C++ for example, won't allow it. One way to get away with defining the function in the same source file in which you're using it, is to declare it at the beginning of the file. So, the previous example would look like this instead.

int func();

int main()
{
   int a = func();
}

int func()
{
  return 1;
}

How To Set Text In An EditText

If you want to set text at design time in xml file just simple android:text="username" add this property.

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edtUsername"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="username"/>

If you want to set text programmatically in Java

EditText edtUsername = findViewById(R.id.edtUsername);
edtUsername.setText("username");

and in kotlin same like java using getter/setter

edtUsername.setText("username")

But if you want to use .text from principle then

edtUsername.text = Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable("username")

because of EditText.text requires an editable at firstplace not String

Understanding Apache's access log

And what does "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.5 Safari/535.19" means ?

This is the value of User-Agent, the browser identification string.

For this reason, most Web browsers use a User-Agent string value as follows:

Mozilla/[version] ([system and browser information]) [platform] ([platform details]) [extensions]. For example, Safari on the iPad has used the following:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405 The components of this string are as follows:

Mozilla/5.0: Previously used to indicate compatibility with the Mozilla rendering engine. (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us): Details of the system in which the browser is running. AppleWebKit/531.21.10: The platform the browser uses. (KHTML, like Gecko): Browser platform details. Mobile/7B405: This is used by the browser to indicate specific enhancements that are available directly in the browser or through third parties. An example of this is Microsoft Live Meeting which registers an extension so that the Live Meeting service knows if the software is already installed, which means it can provide a streamlined experience to joining meetings.

This value will be used to identify what browser is being used by end user.
