IPython/Jupyter Problems saving notebook as PDF

notebook-as-pdfInstall python -m pip install notebook-as-pdf pyppeteer-install

Use it You can also use it with nbconvert:

jupyter-nbconvert --to PDFviaHTML filename.ipynb

which will create a file called filename.pdf.

or pip install notebook-as-pdf

create pdf from notebook jupyter-nbconvert-toPDFviaHTML

What is this date format? 2011-08-12T20:17:46.384Z

You can use the following example.

    String date = "2011-08-12T20:17:46.384Z";

    String inputPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'";

    String outputPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

    LocalDateTime inputDate = null;
    String outputDate = null;


    DateTimeFormatter inputFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(inputPattern, Locale.ENGLISH);
    DateTimeFormatter outputFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(outputPattern, Locale.ENGLISH);

    inputDate = LocalDateTime.parse(date, inputFormatter);
    outputDate = outputFormatter.format(inputDate);

    System.out.println("inputDate: " + inputDate);
    System.out.println("outputDate: " + outputDate);

How to scale images to screen size in Pygame

If you scale 1600x900 to 1280x720 you have

scale_x = 1280.0/1600
scale_y = 720.0/900

Then you can use it to find button size, and button position

button_width  = 300 * scale_x
button_height = 300 * scale_y

button_x = 1440 * scale_x
button_y = 860  * scale_y

If you scale 1280x720 to 1600x900 you have

scale_x = 1600.0/1280
scale_y = 900.0/720

and rest is the same.


I add .0 to value to make float - otherwise scale_x, scale_y will be rounded to integer - in this example to 0 (zero) (Python 2.x)

Why do I keep getting 'SVN: Working Copy XXXX locked; try performing 'cleanup'?

This type of problem can happen when you delete/move files around - in essence making changes to your directory structure. Subversion only checks for changes made in files already added to subversion, not changes made to the directory structure. Instead of using your OS's copy etc commands rather use svn copy etc. Please see http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.cycle.html

Further, upon committing changes svn first stores a "summary" of changes in a todo list. Upon performing the svn operations in this todo list it locks the file to prevent other changes while these svn actions are performed. If the svn action is interrupted midway, say by a crash, the file will remain locked until svn could complete the actions in the todo list. This can be "reactivated" by using the svn cleanup command. Please see http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.cleanup.html

Jenkins - passing variables between jobs?

Just add my answer in addition to Nigel Kirby's as I can't comment yet:

In order to pass a dynamically created parameter, you can also export the variable in 'Execute Shell' tile and then pass it through 'Trigger parameterized build on other projects' => 'Predefined parameters" => give 'YOUR_VAR=$YOUR_VAR'. My team use this feature to pass npm package version from build job to deployment jobs

UPDATE: above only works for Jenkins injected parameters, parameter created from shell still need to use same method. eg. echo YOUR_VAR=${YOUR_VAR} > variable.properties and pass that file downstream

How do you post to an iframe?

This function creates a temporary form, then send data using jQuery :

function postToIframe(data,url,target){
    $('body').append('<form action="'+url+'" method="post" target="'+target+'" id="postToIframe"></form>');
    $.each(data,function(n,v){
        $('#postToIframe').append('<input type="hidden" name="'+n+'" value="'+v+'" />');
    });
    $('#postToIframe').submit().remove();
}

target is the 'name' attr of the target iFrame, and data is a JS object :

data={last_name:'Smith',first_name:'John'}

Why is json_encode adding backslashes?

I just came across this issue in some of my scripts too, and it seemed to be happening because I was applying json_encode to an array wrapped inside another array which was also json encoded. It's easy to do if you have multiple foreach loops in a script that creates the data. Always apply json_encode at the end.

Here is what was happening. If you do:

$data[] = json_encode(['test' => 'one', 'test' => '2']);
$data[] = json_encode(['test' => 'two', 'test' => 'four']);
echo json_encode($data);

The result is:

["{\"test\":\"2\"}","{\"test\":\"four\"}"]

So, what you actually need to do is:

$data[] = ['test' => 'one', 'test' => '2'];
$data[] = ['test' => 'two', 'test' => 'four'];
echo json_encode($data);

And this will return

[{"test":"2"},{"test":"four"}]

How does Junit @Rule work?

The explanation for how it works:

JUnit wraps your test method in a Statement object so statement and Execute() runs your test. Then instead of calling statement.Execute() directly to run your test, JUnit passes the Statement to a TestRule with the @Rule annotation. The TestRule's "apply" function returns a new Statement given the Statement with your test. The new Statement's Execute() method can call the test Statement's execute method (or not, or call it multiple times), and do whatever it wants before and after.

Now, JUnit has a new Statement that does more than just run the test, and it can again pass that to any more rules before finally calling Execute.

Using a bitmask in C#

Easy Way:

[Flags]
public enum MyFlags {
    None = 0,
    Susan = 1,
    Alice = 2,
    Bob = 4,
    Eve = 8
}

To set the flags use logical "or" operator |:

MyFlags f = new MyFlags();
f = MyFlags.Alice | MyFlags.Bob;

And to check if a flag is included use HasFlag:

if(f.HasFlag(MyFlags.Alice)) { /* true */}
if(f.HasFlag(MyFlags.Eve)) { /* false */}

How to use opencv in using Gradle?

The OpenCV Android SDK has an example gradle.build file with helpful comments: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/modules/java/android_sdk/build.gradle.in

//
// Notes about integration OpenCV into existed Android Studio application project are below (application 'app' module should exist).
//
// This file is located in <OpenCV-android-sdk>/sdk directory (near 'etc', 'java', 'native' subdirectories)
//
// Add module into Android Studio application project:
//
// - Android Studio way:
//   (will copy almost all OpenCV Android SDK into your project, ~200Mb)
//
//   Import module: Menu -> "File" -> "New" -> "Module" -> "Import Gradle project":
//   Source directory: select this "sdk" directory
//   Module name: ":opencv"
//
// - or attach library module from OpenCV Android SDK
//   (without copying into application project directory, allow to share the same module between projects)
//
//   Edit "settings.gradle" and add these lines:
//
//   def opencvsdk='<path_to_opencv_android_sdk_rootdir>'
//   // You can put declaration above into gradle.properties file instead (including file in HOME directory),
//   // but without 'def' and apostrophe symbols ('): opencvsdk=<path_to_opencv_android_sdk_rootdir>
//   include ':opencv'
//   project(':opencv').projectDir = new File(opencvsdk + '/sdk')
//
//
//
// Add dependency into application module:
//
// - Android Studio way:
//   "Open Module Settings" (F4) -> "Dependencies" tab
//
// - or add "project(':opencv')" dependency into app/build.gradle:
//
//   dependencies {
//       implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
//       ...
//       implementation project(':opencv')
//   }
//
//
//
// Load OpenCV native library before using:
//
// - avoid using of "OpenCVLoader.initAsync()" approach - it is deprecated
//   It may load library with different version (from OpenCV Android Manager, which is installed separatelly on device)
//
// - use "System.loadLibrary("opencv_java3")" or "OpenCVLoader.initDebug()"
//   TODO: Add accurate API to load OpenCV native library
//
//
//
// Native C++ support (necessary to use OpenCV in native code of application only):
//
// - Use find_package() in app/CMakeLists.txt:
//
//   find_package(OpenCV 3.4 REQUIRED java)
//   ...
//   target_link_libraries(native-lib ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES})
//
// - Add "OpenCV_DIR" and enable C++ exceptions/RTTI support via app/build.gradle
//   Documentation about CMake options: https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cmake.html
//
//   defaultConfig {
//       ...
//       externalNativeBuild {
//           cmake {
//               cppFlags "-std=c++11 -frtti -fexceptions"
//               arguments "-DOpenCV_DIR=" + opencvsdk + "/sdk/native/jni" // , "-DANDROID_ARM_NEON=TRUE"
//           }
//       }
//   }
//
// - (optional) Limit/filter ABIs to build ('android' scope of 'app/build.gradle'):
//   Useful information: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-tips.html (Configure separate APKs per ABI)
//
//   splits {
//       abi {
//           enable true
//           reset()
//           include 'armeabi-v7a' // , 'x86', 'x86_64', 'arm64-v8a'

How can I set the request header for curl?

Sometimes changing the header is not enough, some sites check the referer as well:

curl -v \
     -H 'Host: restapi.some-site.com' \
     -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
     -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8' \
     -H 'Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6' \
     -e localhost \
     -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.65 Safari/537.36' \
     'http://restapi.some-site.com/getsomething?argument=value&argument2=value'

In this example the referer (-e or --referer in curl) is 'localhost'.

What is an IIS application pool?

application pool provides isolation for your application. and increase the availability of your application because each pool run in its own process so an error in one app won't cause other application pool. And we have shared pool that hosts several web applications running under it and dedicated pool that has single application running on it.

What is the height of Navigation Bar in iOS 7?

I got this answer from the book Programming iOS 7, section Bar Position and Bar Metrics

If a navigation bar or toolbar — or a search bar (discussed earlier in this chapter) — is to occupy the top of the screen, the iOS 7 convention is that its height should be increased to underlap the transparent status bar. To make this possible, iOS 7 introduces the notion of a bar position.

UIBarPositionTopAttached

Specifies that the bar is at the top of the screen, as well as its containing view. Bars with this position draw their background extended upwards, allowing their background content to show through the status bar. Available in iOS 7.0 and later.

Pip Install not installing into correct directory?

Virtualenv is your friend

Even if you want to add a package to your primary install, it's still best to do it in a virtual environment first, to ensure compatibility with your other packages. However, if you get familiar with virtualenv, you'll probably find there's really no reason to install anything in your base install.

How can I divide two integers to get a double?

I have went through most of the answers and im pretty sure that it's unachievable. Whatever you try to divide two int into double or float is not gonna happen. But you have tons of methods to make the calculation happen, just cast them into float or double before the calculation will be fine.

Simplest way to throw an error/exception with a custom message in Swift 2?

The simplest approach is probably to define one custom enum with just one case that has a String attached to it:

enum MyError: ErrorType {
    case runtimeError(String)
}

Or, as of Swift 4:

enum MyError: Error {
    case runtimeError(String)
}

Example usage would be something like:

func someFunction() throws {
    throw MyError.runtimeError("some message")
}
do {
    try someFunction()
} catch MyError.runtimeError(let errorMessage) {
    print(errorMessage)
}

If you wish to use existing Error types, the most general one would be an NSError, and you could make a factory method to create and throw one with a custom message.

Messagebox with input field

You can do it by making form and displaying it using ShowDialogBox....

Form.ShowDialog Method - Shows the form as a modal dialog box.

Example:

public void ShowMyDialogBox()
{
   Form2 testDialog = new Form2();

   // Show testDialog as a modal dialog and determine if DialogResult = OK.
   if (testDialog.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
   {
      // Read the contents of testDialog's TextBox.
      this.txtResult.Text = testDialog.TextBox1.Text;
   }
   else
   {
      this.txtResult.Text = "Cancelled";
   }
   testDialog.Dispose();
}

How to execute an .SQL script file using c#

There are two points to considerate.

1) This source code worked for me:

private static string Execute(string credentials, string scriptDir, string scriptFilename)
{ 
  Process process = new Process();
  process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
  process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = scriptDir;
  process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
  process.StartInfo.FileName = "sqlplus";
  process.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} @{1}", credentials, scriptFilename);
  process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

  process.Start();
  string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
  process.WaitForExit();

  return output;
}

I set the working directory to the script directory, so that sub scripts within the script also work.

Call it e.g. as Execute("usr/pwd@service", "c:\myscripts", "script.sql")

2) You have to finalize your SQL script with the statement EXIT;

CFLAGS, CCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS - what exactly do these variables control?

As you noticed, these are Makefile {macros or variables}, not compiler options. They implement a set of conventions. (Macros is an old name for them, still used by some. GNU make doc calls them variables.)

The only reason that the names matter is the default make rules, visible via make -p, which use some of them.

If you write all your own rules, you get to pick all your own macro names.

In a vanilla gnu make, there's no such thing as CCFLAGS. There are CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS. CFLAGS for the C compiler, CXXFLAGS for C++, and CPPFLAGS for both.

Why is CPPFLAGS in both? Conventionally, it's the home of preprocessor flags (-D, -U) and both c and c++ use them. Now, the assumption that everyone wants the same define environment for c and c++ is perhaps questionable, but traditional.


P.S. As noted by James Moore, some projects use CPPFLAGS for flags to the C++ compiler, not flags to the C preprocessor. The Android NDK, for one huge example.

Int to byte array

Most of the answers here are either 'UnSafe" or not LittleEndian safe. BitConverter is not LittleEndian safe. So building on an example in here (see the post by PZahra) I made a LittleEndian safe version simply by reading the byte array in reverse when BitConverter.IsLittleEndian == true

void Main(){    
    Console.WriteLine(BitConverter.IsLittleEndian); 
    byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(0xdcbaabcdfffe1608);
    //Console.WriteLine(bytes); 
    string hexStr = ByteArrayToHex(bytes);
    Console.WriteLine(hexStr);
}

public static string ByteArrayToHex(byte[] data) 
{ 
   char[] c = new char[data.Length * 2]; 
   byte b; 
  if(BitConverter.IsLittleEndian)
  {
        //read the byte array in reverse
        for (int y = data.Length -1, x = 0; y >= 0; --y, ++x) 
        { 
            b = ((byte)(data[y] >> 4)); 
            c[x] = (char)(b > 9 ? b + 0x37 : b + 0x30); 
            b = ((byte)(data[y] & 0xF)); 
            c[++x] = (char)(b > 9 ? b + 0x37 : b + 0x30); 
        }               
    }
    else
    {
        for (int y = 0, x = 0; y < data.Length; ++y, ++x) 
        { 
            b = ((byte)(data[y] >> 4)); 
            c[x] = (char)(b > 9 ? b + 0x37 : b + 0x30); 
            b = ((byte)(data[y] & 0xF)); 
            c[++x] = (char)(b > 9 ? b + 0x37 : b + 0x30); 
        }
    }
    return String.Concat("0x",new string(c));
}

It returns this:

True
0xDCBAABCDFFFE1608

which is the exact hex that went into the byte array.

Checking whether a string starts with XXXX

I did a little experiment to see which of these methods

  • string.startswith('hello')
  • string.rfind('hello') == 0
  • string.rpartition('hello')[0] == ''
  • string.rindex('hello') == 0

are most efficient to return whether a certain string begins with another string.

Here is the result of one of the many test runs I've made, where each list is ordered to show the least time it took (in seconds) to parse 5 million of each of the above expressions during each iteration of the while loop I used:

['startswith: 1.37', 'rpartition: 1.38', 'rfind: 1.62', 'rindex: 1.62']
['startswith: 1.28', 'rpartition: 1.44', 'rindex: 1.67', 'rfind: 1.68']
['startswith: 1.29', 'rpartition: 1.42', 'rindex: 1.63', 'rfind: 1.64']

['startswith: 1.35', 'rpartition: 1.42', 'rfind: 1.63', 'rindex: 1.68']
['startswith: 1.32', 'rpartition: 1.46', 'rfind: 1.65', 'rindex: 1.75']
['startswith: 1.37', 'rpartition: 1.46', 'rfind: 1.74', 'rindex: 1.75']
['startswith: 1.31', 'rpartition: 1.48', 'rfind: 1.67', 'rindex: 1.74']
['startswith: 1.44', 'rpartition: 1.46', 'rindex: 1.69', 'rfind: 1.74']
['startswith: 1.44', 'rpartition: 1.42', 'rfind: 1.65', 'rindex: 1.65']
['startswith: 1.36', 'rpartition: 1.44', 'rfind: 1.64', 'rindex: 1.74']

['startswith: 1.35', 'rpartition: 1.56', 'rfind: 1.68', 'rindex: 1.69']
['startswith: 1.32', 'rpartition: 1.48', 'rindex: 1.64', 'rfind: 1.65']
['startswith: 1.28', 'rpartition: 1.43', 'rfind: 1.59', 'rindex: 1.66']

I believe that it is pretty obvious from the start that the startswith method would come out the most efficient, as returning whether a string begins with the specified string is its main purpose.

What surprises me is that the seemingly impractical string.rpartition('hello')[0] == '' method always finds a way to be listed first, before the string.startswith('hello') method, every now and then. The results show that using str.partition to determine if a string starts with another string is more efficient then using both rfind and rindex.

Another thing I've noticed is that string.rindex('hello') == 0 and string.rindex('hello') == 0 have a good battle going on, each rising from fourth to third place, and dropping from third to fourth place, which makes sense, as their main purposes are the same.

Here is the code:

from time import perf_counter

string = 'hello world'
places = dict()

while True:
    start = perf_counter()
    for _ in range(5000000):
        string.startswith('hello')
    end = perf_counter()
    places['startswith'] = round(end - start, 2)

    start = perf_counter()
    for _ in range(5000000):
        string.rfind('hello') == 0
    end = perf_counter()
    places['rfind'] = round(end - start, 2)

    start = perf_counter()
    for _ in range(5000000):
        string.rpartition('hello')[0] == ''
    end = perf_counter()
    places['rpartition'] = round(end - start, 2)

    start = perf_counter()
    for _ in range(5000000):
        string.rindex('hello') == 0
    end = perf_counter()
    places['rindex'] = round(end - start, 2)
    
    print([f'{b}: {str(a).ljust(4, "4")}' for a, b in sorted(i[::-1] for i in places.items())])

Convert string to buffer Node

You can use Buffer.from() to convert a string to buffer. More information on this can be found here

var buf = Buffer.from('some string', 'encoding');

for example

var buf = Buffer.from(bStr, 'utf-8');

How to show first commit by 'git log'?

git log --format="%h" | tail -1 gives you the commit hash (ie 0dd89fb), which you can feed into other commands, by doing something like

git diff `git log --format="%h" --after="1 day"| tail -1`..HEAD to view all the commits in the last day.

Getting Unexpected Token Export

In case you get this error, it might also be related to how you included the JavaScript file into your html page. When loading modules, you have to explicitly declare those files as such. Here's an example:

//module.js:
function foo(){
   return "foo";
}

var bar = "bar";

export { foo, bar };

When you include the script like this:

<script src="module.js"></script>

You will get the error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token export

You need to include the file with a type attribute set to "module":

<script type="module" src="module.js"></script>

then it should work as expected and you are ready to import your module in another module:

import { foo, bar } from  "./module.js";

console.log( foo() );
console.log( bar );

How to flip background image using CSS?

You can flip both vertical and horizontal at the same time

    -moz-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    -o-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);

And with the transition property you can get a cool flip

    -webkit-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    -moz-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    -o-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    transition-property: transform;
    transition-duration: .4s;
    transition-timing-function: ease-out;
    transition-delay: 0ms;

Actually it flips the whole element, not just the background-image

Slick Carousel Uncaught TypeError: $(...).slick is not a function

It's hard to tell without looking at the full code but this type of error

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).slick is not a function

Usually means that you either forgot to include slick.js in the page or you included it before jquery.

Make sure jquery is the first js file and you included the slick.js library after it.

how can I copy a conditional formatting in Excel 2010 to other cells, which is based on a other cells content?

You can do this in the 'Conditional Formatting' tool in the Home tab of Excel 2010.

Assuming the existing rule is 'Use a formula to dtermine which cells to format':

Edit the existing rule, so that the 'Formula' refers to relative rows and columns (i.e. remove $s), and then in the 'Applies to' box, click the icon to make the sheet current and select the cells you want the formatting to apply to (absolute cell references are ok here), then go back to the tool panel and click Apply.

This will work assuming the relative offsets are appropriate throughout your desired apply-to range.

You can copy conditional formatting from one cell to another or a range using copy and paste-special with formatting only, assuming you do not mind copying the normal formats.

How to establish ssh key pair when "Host key verification failed"

This issue arises when the host key is expired or changed. you can remove the keys that host is using and try to ssh again, so that you are adding new key that is known to both client and server.

You can check the keys associated with your hosts with cat /.ssh/known_hosts . Now, You can remove the hosts keys manually or using the ssh-keygen option. You can do either of the following option.

  1. Manual removal of keys

    vim /.ssh/known_hosts

delete the key that is associated with your host.

  1. Remove key using ssh-keygen

    ssh-keygen -R your_host_or_host_ip

This will remove your key associated with the host.

Now, you can ssh to your host as usual and you will be asked if you want to continue to this host. Once your enter yes, this host will be added to your/.ssh/known_hosts with updated key. By now, you should be your host.

How to store arrays in MySQL?

A sidenote to consider, you can store arrays in Postgres.

Attributes / member variables in interfaces?

The point of an interface is to specify the public API. An interface has no state. Any variables that you create are really constants (so be careful about making mutable objects in interfaces).

Basically an interface says here are all of the methods that a class that implements it must support. It probably would have been better if the creators of Java had not allowed constants in interfaces, but too late to get rid of that now (and there are some cases where constants are sensible in interfaces).

Because you are just specifying what methods have to be implemented there is no idea of state (no instance variables). If you want to require that every class has a certain variable you need to use an abstract class.

Finally, you should, generally speaking, not use public variables, so the idea of putting variables into an interface is a bad idea to begin with.

Short answer - you can't do what you want because it is "wrong" in Java.

Edit:

class Tile 
    implements Rectangle 
{
    private int height;
    private int width;

     @Override
    public int getHeight() {
        return height;
    }

    @Override
    public int getWidth() {
        return width;
    }

    @Override
    public void setHeight(int h) {
        height = h;
    }

    @Override
    public void setWidth(int w) { 
        width = w;  
    }
}

an alternative version would be:

abstract class AbstractRectangle 
    implements Rectangle 
{
    private int height;
    private int width;

     @Override
    public int getHeight() {
        return height;
    }

    @Override
    public int getWidth() {
        return width;
    }

    @Override
    public void setHeight(int h) {
        height = h;
    }

    @Override
    public void setWidth(int w) { 
        width = w;  
    }
}

class Tile 
    extends AbstractRectangle 
{

What is web.xml file and what are all things can I do with it?

What is web.xml file and what all things can I do with it ?

The /WEB-INF/web.xml file is the Web Application Deployment Descriptor of your application. This file is an XML document that defines everything about your application that a server needs to know (except the context path, which is assigned by the Application Deployer and Administrator when the application is deployed): servlets and other components like filters or listeners, initialization parameters, container-managed security constraints, resources, welcome pages, etc.

Note that reference you mentioned is pretty old (Java EE 1.4), there have been few changes in Java EE 5 and even more in Java EE 6 (which makes the web.xml "optional" and introduces Web Fragments).

Is there any configuration parameter which should be avoided like plague?

No.

Any parameters related to performance or memory usage?

No, such things are not configured at the application level but at the container level.

Security related risk due to common mis-configuration ?

Well, if you want to use container-managed security constraints and fail at configuring them properly, resources won't obviously be properly protected. Apart from that, the biggest security risks come from the code you'll deploy IMO.

How to convert variable (object) name into String

nodejs npm global config missing on windows

How to generate components in a specific folder with Angular CLI?

The above options were not working for me because unlike creating a directory or file in the terminal, when the CLI generates a component, it adds the path src/app by default to the path you enter.

If I generate the component from my main app folder like so (WRONG WAY)

ng g c ./src/app/child/grandchild 

the component that was generated was this:

src/app/src/app/child/grandchild.component.ts

so I only had to type

ng g c child/grandchild 

Hopefully this helps someone

Convert INT to DATETIME (SQL)

you need to convert to char first because converting to int adds those days to 1900-01-01

select CONVERT (datetime,convert(char(8),rnwl_efctv_dt ))

here are some examples

select CONVERT (datetime,5)

1900-01-06 00:00:00.000

select CONVERT (datetime,20100101)

blows up, because you can't add 20100101 days to 1900-01-01..you go above the limit

convert to char first

declare @i int
select @i = 20100101
select CONVERT (datetime,convert(char(8),@i))

Get file version in PowerShell

Since PowerShell can call .NET classes, you could do the following:

[System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo("somefilepath").FileVersion

Or as noted here on a list of files:

get-childitem * -include *.dll,*.exe | foreach-object { "{0}`t{1}" -f $_.Name, [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo($_).FileVersion }

Or even nicer as a script: https://jtruher3.wordpress.com/2006/05/14/powershell-and-file-version-information/

    #it is a json so first we will get the value from using json.loads method.
    #cust_name is a key which is pass by javascript json. 
    #as we know json is a key value pair. the cust_name is a key which pass by javascript json
            cust_name = json.loads(cust_info)['cust_name']
            cust_cont = json.loads(cust_info)['cust_cont']

            cust_pincode = json.loads(cust_info)['cust_pincode']
            cust_state = json.loads(cust_info)['cust_state']
            cust_contry = json.loads(cust_info)['cust_contry']
    #it print the value of cust_name variable on server
            print(cust_name)

            print(cust_state)
            print(cust_contry)
            return HttpResponse("Yes I am reach here.")**

Rails :include vs. :joins

tl;dr

I contrast them in two ways:

joins - For conditional selection of records.

includes - When using an association on each member of a result set.

Longer version

Joins is meant to filter the result set coming from the database. You use it to do set operations on your table. Think of this as a where clause that performs set theory.

Post.joins(:comments)

is the same as

Post.where('id in (select post_id from comments)')

Except that if there are more than one comment you will get duplicate posts back with the joins. But every post will be a post that has comments. You can correct this with distinct:

Post.joins(:comments).count
=> 10
Post.joins(:comments).distinct.count
=> 2

In contract, the includes method will simply make sure that there are no additional database queries when referencing the relation (so that we don't make n + 1 queries)

Post.includes(:comments).count
=> 4 # includes posts without comments so the count might be higher.

The moral is, use joins when you want to do conditional set operations and use includes when you are going to be using a relation on each member of a collection.

Difference between web server, web container and application server

A Web application runs within a Web container of a Web server. The Web container provides the runtime environment through components that provide naming context and life cycle management. Some Web servers may also provide additional services such as security and concurrency control. A Web server may work with an EJB server to provide some of those services. A Web server, however, does not need to be located on the same machine as an EJB server.

Web applications are composed of web components and other data such as HTML pages. Web components can be servlets, JSP pages created with the JavaServer Pages™ technology, web filters, and web event listeners. These components typically execute in a web server and may respond to HTTP requests from web clients. Servlets, JSP pages, and filters may be used to generate HTML pages that are an application’s user interface. They may also be used to generate XML or other format data that is consumed by other application components.

What's the "average" requests per second for a production web application?

Not sure anyone is still interested, but this information was posted about Twitter (and here too):

The Stats

  • Over 350,000 users. The actual numbers are as always, very super super top secret.
  • 600 requests per second.
  • Average 200-300 connections per second. Spiking to 800 connections per second.
  • MySQL handled 2,400 requests per second.
  • 180 Rails instances. Uses Mongrel as the "web" server.
  • 1 MySQL Server (one big 8 core box) and 1 slave. Slave is read only for statistics and reporting.
  • 30+ processes for handling odd jobs.
  • 8 Sun X4100s.
  • Process a request in 200 milliseconds in Rails.
  • Average time spent in the database is 50-100 milliseconds.
  • Over 16 GB of memcached.

SQL Server: Cannot insert an explicit value into a timestamp column

If you have a need to copy the exact same timestamp data, change the data type in the destination table from timestamp to binary(8) -- i used varbinary(8) and it worked fine.

This obviously breaks any timestamp functionality in the destination table, so make sure you're ok with that first.

Leave menu bar fixed on top when scrolled

$(window).scroll(function () {

        var ControlDivTop = $('#cs_controlDivFix');

        $(window).scroll(function () {
            if ($(this).scrollTop() > 50) {
               ControlDivTop.stop().animate({ 'top': ($(this).scrollTop() - 62) + "px" }, 600);
            } else {
              ControlDivTop.stop().animate({ 'top': ($(this).scrollTop()) + "px" },600);
            }
        });
    });

How could I use requests in asyncio?

The answers above are still using the old Python 3.4 style coroutines. Here is what you would write if you got Python 3.5+.

aiohttp supports http proxy now

import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def fetch(session, url):
    async with session.get(url) as response:
        return await response.text()

async def main():
    urls = [
            'http://python.org',
            'https://google.com',
            'http://yifei.me'
        ]
    tasks = []
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        for url in urls:
            tasks.append(fetch(session, url))
        htmls = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
        for html in htmls:
            print(html[:100])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Programmatically Hide/Show Android Soft Keyboard

Adding this to your code android:focusableInTouchMode="true" will make sure that your keypad doesn't appear on startup for your edittext box. You want to add this line to your linear layout that contains the EditTextBox. You should be able to play with this to solve both your problems. I have tested this. Simple solution.

ie: In your app_list_view.xml file

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/filter_edittext"       
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:hint="Search" 
        android:inputType="text" 
        android:maxLines="1"/>
    <ListView 
        android:id="@id/android:list" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1.0" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:focusable="true" 
        android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"/>
</LinearLayout> 

------------------ EDIT: To Make keyboard appear on startup -----------------------

This is to make they Keyboard appear on the username edittextbox on startup. All I've done is added an empty Scrollview to the bottom of the .xml file, this puts the first edittext into focus and pops up the keyboard. I admit this is a hack, but I am assuming you just want this to work. I've tested it, and it works fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:paddingLeft="20dip"  
    android:paddingRight="20dip">
    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/userName" 
        android:singleLine="true" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:hint="Username"  
        android:imeOptions="actionDone" 
        android:inputType="text"
        android:maxLines="1"
       />
    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/password" 
        android:password="true" 
        android:singleLine="true"  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:hint="Password" />
    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"  
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"   
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"> 
    </ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

If you are looking for a more eloquent solution, I've found this question which might help you out, it is not as simple as the solution above but probably a better solution. I haven't tested it but it apparently works. I think it is similar to the solution you've tried which didn't work for you though.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Cheers!

What's the algorithm to calculate aspect ratio?

aspectRatio = width / height

if that is what you're after. You can then multiply it by one of the dimensions of the target space to find out the other (that maintains the ratio) e.g.

widthT = heightT * aspectRatio
heightT = widthT / aspectRatio

JavaScript Number Split into individual digits

I used this simple way of doing it.

To split digits

var N = 69;
var arr = N.toString().split('').map(Number)
// outputs [6,9]
console.log( arr ); 

To add them together

console.log(arr.reduce( (a,b) => a+b )); // 15

How to jump back to NERDTree from file in tab?

The top answers here mention using T to open a file in a new tab silently, or Ctrl+WW to hop back to nerd-tree window after file is opened normally.

IF WORKING WITH BUFFERS: use go to open a file in a new buffer, silently, meaning your focus will remain on nerd-tree.

Use this to open multiple files fast :)

Laravel 5.2 - Use a String as a Custom Primary Key for Eloquent Table becomes 0

I was using Postman to test my Laravel API.

I received an error that stated

"SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column" because Laravel was trying to automatically create two columns "created_at" and "updated_at".

I had to enter public $timestamps = false; to my model. Then, I tested again with Postman and saw that an "id" = 0 variable was being created in my database.

I finally had to add public $incrementing false; to fix my API.

Styling Google Maps InfoWindow

I have design google map infowindow with image & some content as per below.

enter image description here

map_script (Just for infowindow html reference)

for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) { 
    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]);
    marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: latlng,
        map: map,
        icon: "<?php echo plugins_url( 'assets/img/map-pin.png', ELEMENTOR_ES__FILE__ ); ?>"
    });

    var property_img = locations[i][6],
    title = locations[i][0],
    price = locations[i][3],
    bedrooms = locations[i][4],
    type = locations[i][5],
    listed_on = locations[i][7],
    prop_url = locations[i][8];

    content = "<div class='map_info_wrapper'><a href="+prop_url+"><div class='img_wrapper'><img src="+property_img+"></div>"+
    "<div class='property_content_wrap'>"+
    "<div class='property_title'>"+
    "<span>"+title+"</span>"+
    "</div>"+

    "<div class='property_price'>"+
    "<span>"+price+"</span>"+
    "</div>"+

    "<div class='property_bed_type'>"+
    "<span>"+bedrooms+"</span>"+
    "<ul><li>"+type+"</li></ul>"+
    "</div>"+

    "<div class='property_listed_date'>"+
    "<span>Listed on "+listed_on+"</span>"+
    "</div>"+
    "</div></a></div>";

    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, content, i) {
        return function() {
            infowindow.setContent(content);
            infowindow.open(map, marker);
        }
    })(marker, content, i));
}

Most important thing is CSS

 #propertymap .gm-style-iw{

Bootstrap 3: How do you align column content to bottom of row

When working with bootsrap usually face three main problems:

  1. How to place the content of the column to the bottom?
  2. How to create a multi-row gallery of columns of equal height in one .row?
  3. How to center columns horizontally if their total width is less than 12 and the remaining width is odd?

To solve first two problems download this small plugin https://github.com/codekipple/conformity

The third problem is solved here http://www.minimit.com/articles/solutions-tutorials/bootstrap-3-responsive-centered-columns

Common code

<style>
    [class*=col-] {position: relative}
    .row-conformity .to-bottom {position:absolute; bottom:0; left:0; right:0}
    .row-centered {text-align:center}   
    .row-centered [class*=col-] {display:inline-block; float:none; text-align:left; margin-right:-4px; vertical-align:top} 
</style>

<script src="assets/conformity/conformity.js"></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.row-conformity > [class*=col-]').conformity();
        $(window).on('resize', function() {
            $('.row-conformity > [class*=col-]').conformity();
        });
    });
</script>

1. Aligning content of the column to the bottom

<div class="row row-conformity">
    <div class="col-sm-3">
        I<br>create<br>highest<br>column
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-3">
        <div class="to-bottom">
            I am on the bottom
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

2. Gallery of columns of equal height

<div class="row row-conformity">
    <div class="col-sm-4">We all have equal height</div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">...</div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">...</div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">...</div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">...</div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">...</div>
</div>

3. Horizontal alignment of columns to the center (less than 12 col units)

<div class="row row-centered">
    <div class="col-sm-3">...</div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">...</div>
</div>

All classes can work together

<div class="row row-conformity row-centered">
    ...
</div>

Setting the User-Agent header for a WebClient request

const string ua = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)";
Request.Headers["User-Agent"] = ua;
var httpWorkerRequestField = Request.GetType().GetField("_wr", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
if (httpWorkerRequestField != null)
{
    var httpWorkerRequest = httpWorkerRequestField.GetValue(Request);
    var knownRequestHeadersField = httpWorkerRequest.GetType().GetField("_knownRequestHeaders", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    if (knownRequestHeadersField != null)
    {
        string[] knownRequestHeaders = (string[])knownRequestHeadersField.GetValue(httpWorkerRequest);
                    knownRequestHeaders[39] = ua;
    }
}

CSS How to set div height 100% minus nPx

You can do something like height: calc(100% - nPx); for example height: calc(100% - 70px);

MySQL LEFT JOIN 3 tables

SELECT p.*, f.Fear
FROM Persons p
LEFT JOIN Person_Fear pf ON pf.PersonID = p.PersonID
LEFT JOIN Fears f ON f.FearID = pf.FearID
ORDER BY p.PersonID

  1. You need to select from the Persons table to ensure you generate a row for every person, whether they have fears or not.
  2. Then you can left join Person_Fear to every person, which will just be NULL if they don't have any entries (as you want).
  3. Finally, you left join Fears on Person_Fear so that you can select the name of the fear.
  4. Optionally, add an order so that each person has all their fears listed together, even if they were added to the Person_Fear table at different times.

Android SQLite Example

JQUERY: Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression

If you're using jQuery 2.1.4 or above, try this:

$("#" + this.d);

Or, you can define var before using it. It makes your code simpler.

var d = this.d
$("#" + d);

What does "app.run(host='0.0.0.0') " mean in Flask

To answer to your second question. You can just hit the IP address of the machine that your flask app is running, e.g. 192.168.1.100 in a browser on different machine on the same network and you are there. Though, you will not be able to access it if you are on a different network. Firewalls or VLans can cause you problems with reaching your application. If that computer has a public IP, then you can hit that IP from anywhere on the planet and you will be able to reach the app. Usually this might impose some configuration, since most of the public servers are behind some sort of router or firewall.

Why is using the JavaScript eval function a bad idea?

Unless you let eval() a dynamic content (through cgi or input), it is as safe and solid as all other JavaScript in your page.

Finalize vs Dispose

The main difference between Dispose and Finalize is that:

Dispose is usually called by your code. The resources are freed instantly when you call it. People forget to call the method, so using() {} statement is invented. When your program finishes the execution of the code inside the {}, it will call Dispose method automatically.

Finalize is not called by your code. It is mean to be called by the Garbage Collector (GC). That means the resource might be freed anytime in future whenever GC decides to do so. When GC does its work, it will go through many Finalize methods. If you have heavy logic in this, it will make the process slow. It may cause performance issues for your program. So be careful about what you put in there.

I personally would write most of the destruction logic in Dispose. Hopefully, this clears up the confusion.

remove url parameters with javascript or jquery

No splits.. :) The correct/foolproof way is to let the native browser BUILT-IN functions do the heavy lifting using urlParams, the heavy lifting is done for you.

//summary answer - this one line will correctly replace in all current browsers
window.history.replaceState({}, '', `${location.pathname}?${params}`);
// 1 Get your URL 
let url = new URL('https://tykt.org?unicorn=1&printer=2&scanner=3');
console.log("URL: "+ url.toString());

// 2 get your params
let params = new URLSearchParams(url.search);
console.log("querys: " + params.toString());

// 3 Delete the printer param, Query string is now gone
params.delete('printer'); 
console.log("Printer Removed: " + params.toString()); 

// BELOW = Add it back to the URL, DONE!
___________

NOW Putting it all together in your live browser

// Above is a breakdown of how to get your params
// 4 then you simply replace those in your current browser!! 
window.history.replaceState({}, '', `${location.pathname}?${params}`);

Dynamically set value of a file input

I ended up doing something like this for AngularJS in case someone stumbles across this question:

const imageElem = angular.element('#awardImg');

if (imageElem[0].files[0])
    vm.award.imageElem = imageElem;
    vm.award.image = imageElem[0].files[0];

And then:

if (vm.award.imageElem)
    $('#awardImg').replaceWith(vm.award.imageElem);
    delete vm.award.imageElem;

Plot a legend outside of the plotting area in base graphics?

Another solution, besides the ondes already mentioned (using layout or par(xpd=TRUE)) is to overlay your plot with a transparent plot over the entire device and then add the legend to that.

The trick is to overlay a (empty) graph over the complete plotting area and adding the legend to that. We can use the par(fig=...) option. First we instruct R to create a new plot over the entire plotting device:

par(fig=c(0, 1, 0, 1), oma=c(0, 0, 0, 0), mar=c(0, 0, 0, 0), new=TRUE)

Setting oma and mar is needed since we want to have the interior of the plot cover the entire device. new=TRUE is needed to prevent R from starting a new device. We can then add the empty plot:

plot(0, 0, type='n', bty='n', xaxt='n', yaxt='n')

And we are ready to add the legend:

legend("bottomright", ...)

will add a legend to the bottom right of the device. Likewise, we can add the legend to the top or right margin. The only thing we need to ensure is that the margin of the original plot is large enough to accomodate the legend.

Putting all this into a function;

add_legend <- function(...) {
  opar <- par(fig=c(0, 1, 0, 1), oma=c(0, 0, 0, 0), 
    mar=c(0, 0, 0, 0), new=TRUE)
  on.exit(par(opar))
  plot(0, 0, type='n', bty='n', xaxt='n', yaxt='n')
  legend(...)
}

And an example. First create the plot making sure we have enough space at the bottom to add the legend:

par(mar = c(5, 4, 1.4, 0.2))
plot(rnorm(50), rnorm(50), col=c("steelblue", "indianred"), pch=20)

Then add the legend

add_legend("topright", legend=c("Foo", "Bar"), pch=20, 
   col=c("steelblue", "indianred"),
   horiz=TRUE, bty='n', cex=0.8)

Resulting in:

Iterating through all nodes in XML file

You can use XmlDocument. Also some XPath can be useful.

Just a simple example

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("sample.xml");
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlNodeList nodes = root.SelectNodes("some_node"); // You can also use XPath here
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
   // use node variable here for your beeds
}

Jquery change <p> text programmatically

"saving" is something wholly different from changing paragraph content with jquery.

If you need to save changes you will have to write them to your server somehow (likely form submission along with all the security and input sanitizing that entails). If you have information that is saved on the server then you are no longer changing the content of a paragraph, you are drawing a paragraph with dynamic content (either from a database or a file which your server altered when you did the "saving").

Judging by your question, this is a topic on which you will have to do MUCH more research.

Input page (input.html):

<form action="/saveMyParagraph.php">
    <input name="pContent" type="text"></input>
</form>

Saving page (saveMyParagraph.php) and Ouput page (output.php):

How to generate xsd from wsdl

Follow these steps :

  1. Create a project using the WSDL.
  2. Choose your interface and open in interface viewer.
  3. Navigate to the tab 'WSDL Content'.
  4. Use the last icon under the tab 'WSDL Content' : 'Export the entire WSDL and included/imported files to a local directory'.

How do I make JavaScript beep?

Here's how I get it to beep using HTML5: First I copy and convert the windows wav file to mp3, then I use this code:

var _beep = window.Audio("Content/Custom/Beep.mp3")

function playBeep() { _beep.play()};

It's faster to declare the sound file globally and refer to it as needed.

Spring JDBC Template for calling Stored Procedures

There are a number of ways to call stored procedures in Spring.

If you use CallableStatementCreator to declare parameters, you will be using Java's standard interface of CallableStatement, i.e register out parameters and set them separately. Using SqlParameter abstraction will make your code cleaner.

I recommend you looking at SimpleJdbcCall. It may be used like this:

SimpleJdbcCall jdbcCall = new SimpleJdbcCall(jdbcTemplate)
    .withSchemaName(schema)
    .withCatalogName(package)
    .withProcedureName(procedure)();
...
jdbcCall.addDeclaredParameter(new SqlParameter(paramName, OracleTypes.NUMBER));
...
jdbcCall.execute(callParams);

For simple procedures you may use jdbcTemplate's update method:

jdbcTemplate.update("call SOME_PROC (?, ?)", param1, param2);

What are the most common naming conventions in C?

Coding in C#, java, C, C++ and objective C at the same time, I've adopted a very simple and clear naming convention to simplify my life.

First of all, it relies on the power of modern IDEs (such as eclipse, Xcode...), with the possibility to get fast information by hovering or ctrl click... Accepting that, I suppressed the use of any prefix, suffix and other markers that are simply given by the IDE.

Then, the convention:

  • Any names MUST be a readable sentence explaining what you have. Like "this is my convention".
  • Then, 4 methods to get a convention out of a sentence:
    1. THIS_IS_MY_CONVENTION for macros, enum members
    2. ThisIsMyConvention for file name, object name (class, struct, enum, union...), function name, method name, typedef
    3. this_is_my_convention global and local variables,
      parameters, struct and union elements
    4. thisismyconvention [optional] very local and temporary variables (such like a for() loop index)

And that's it.

It gives

class MyClass {
    enum TheEnumeration {
        FIRST_ELEMENT,
        SECOND_ELEMENT,
    }

    int class_variable;

    int MyMethod(int first_param, int second_parameter) {
        int local_variable;
        TheEnumeration local_enum;
        for(int myindex=0, myindex<class_variable, myindex++) {
             localEnum = FIRST_ELEMENT;
        }
    }
}

How to dynamically add elements to String array?

Arrays in Java have a defined size, you cannot change it later by adding or removing elements (you can read some basics here).

Instead, use a List:

ArrayList<String> mylist = new ArrayList<String>();
mylist.add(mystring); //this adds an element to the list.

Of course, if you know beforehand how many strings you are going to put in your array, you can create an array of that size and set the elements by using the correct position:

String[] myarray = new String[numberofstrings];
myarray[23] = string24; //this sets the 24'th (first index is 0) element to string24.

auto run a bat script in windows 7 at login

I hit this question looking for how to run batch scripts during user logon on a standalone windows server (workgroup not in domain). I found the answer in using group policy.

  1. gpedit.msc
  2. user configuration->administrative templates->system->logon->run these programs at user logon
  3. add batch scripts.
  4. you can add them using cmd /k mybatchfile.cmd if you want the command window to stay (on desktop) after batch script have finished.
  5. gpupdate - to update the group policy.

how can I set visible back to true in jquery

Depends, if i remember correctly i think asp.net won't render the html object out when you set visible to false.

If you want to be able to control it from the client side, then you better just include the css value to set it invisible rather than using visible =false.

Android Webview - Completely Clear the Cache

The edited code snippet above posted by Gaunt Face contains an error in that if a directory fails to delete because one of its files cannot be deleted, the code will keep retrying in an infinite loop. I rewrote it to be truly recursive, and added a numDays parameter so you can control how old the files must be that are pruned:

//helper method for clearCache() , recursive
//returns number of deleted files
static int clearCacheFolder(final File dir, final int numDays) {

    int deletedFiles = 0;
    if (dir!= null && dir.isDirectory()) {
        try {
            for (File child:dir.listFiles()) {

                //first delete subdirectories recursively
                if (child.isDirectory()) {
                    deletedFiles += clearCacheFolder(child, numDays);
                }

                //then delete the files and subdirectories in this dir
                //only empty directories can be deleted, so subdirs have been done first
                if (child.lastModified() < new Date().getTime() - numDays * DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS) {
                    if (child.delete()) {
                        deletedFiles++;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, String.format("Failed to clean the cache, error %s", e.getMessage()));
        }
    }
    return deletedFiles;
}

/*
 * Delete the files older than numDays days from the application cache
 * 0 means all files.
 */
public static void clearCache(final Context context, final int numDays) {
    Log.i(TAG, String.format("Starting cache prune, deleting files older than %d days", numDays));
    int numDeletedFiles = clearCacheFolder(context.getCacheDir(), numDays);
    Log.i(TAG, String.format("Cache pruning completed, %d files deleted", numDeletedFiles));
}

How to hide html source & disable right click and text copy?

You can use JavaScript to disable the context menu (right-click), but it's easily overwrittable. For example, in Firefox, go to Options -> Content and next to the "Enable JavaScript" check box, click Advanced. Uncheck the "Disable or replace context menus" option. Now you can right-click all you want.

A simple CTRL + U will view the source. That can never be disabled.

Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data)

I was looking to do file upload and add some parameters to a multipart/form-data request in VB.NET and not through a regular forms post. Thanks to @JoshCodes answer I got the direction I was looking for. I am posting my solution to help others find a way to perform a post with both file and parameters the html equivalent of what I try to achieve is : html

<form action="your-api-endpoint" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> 
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="api-method-name"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="apiKey" value="gs1xxxxxxxxxxxxxex"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="access" value="protected"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="test"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="test"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="cf1d4xxxxxxxxcd5"/> 
<input type="file" name="file"/> 
<input type="submit" name="_upload" value="Upload"/> 
</form>

Due to the fact that I have to provide the apiKey and the signature (which is a calculated checksum of the request parameters and api key concatenated string), I needed to do it server side. The other reason I needed to do it server side is the fact that the post of the file can be performed at any time by pointing to a file already on the server (providing the path), so there would be no manually selected file during form post thus form data file would not contain the file stream.Otherwise I could have calculated the checksum via an ajax callback and submitted the file through the html post using JQuery. I am using .net version 4.0 and cannot upgrade to 4.5 in the actual solution. So I had to install the Microsoft.Net.Http using nuget cmd

PM> install-package Microsoft.Net.Http

    Dim result = String.empty
    Try

                formData.Add(New StringContent(req.Action), "action")
                formData.Add(New StringContent(req.ApiKey), "apiKey")
                For Each param In req.Parameters
                    formData.Add(New StringContent(param.Value), param.Key)
                Next
                formData.Add(New StringContent(req.getRequestSignature.Qualifier), "signature")
                ''//This adds the file stream and file info to form data
                formData.Add(fileStreamContent, "file", fileName)
                ''//We are now sending the request
                Dim response = client.PostAsync(GetAPIEndpoint(), formData).Result
                ''//We are here reading the response
                Dim readR = New StreamReader(response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync().Result, Encoding.UTF8)
                Dim respContent = readR.ReadToEnd()

                If Not response.IsSuccessStatusCode Then
                    result =  "Request Failed : Code = " & response.StatusCode & "Reason = " & response.ReasonPhrase & "Message = " & respContent
                End If
                result.Value = respContent

Adding an identity to an existing column

You can't alter the existing columns for identity.

You have 2 options,

  1. Create a new table with identity & drop the existing table

  2. Create a new column with identity & drop the existing column

Approach 1. (New table) Here you can retain the existing data values on the newly created identity column. Note that you will lose all data if 'if not exists' is not satisfied, so make sure you put the condition on the drop as well!

CREATE TABLE dbo.Tmp_Names
    (
      Id int NOT NULL
             IDENTITY(1, 1),
      Name varchar(50) NULL
    )
ON  [PRIMARY]
go

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_Names ON
go

IF EXISTS ( SELECT  *
            FROM    dbo.Names ) 
    INSERT  INTO dbo.Tmp_Names ( Id, Name )
            SELECT  Id,
                    Name
            FROM    dbo.Names TABLOCKX
go

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_Names OFF
go

DROP TABLE dbo.Names
go

Exec sp_rename 'Tmp_Names', 'Names'

Approach 2 (New column) You can’t retain the existing data values on the newly created identity column, The identity column will hold the sequence of number.

Alter Table Names
Add Id_new Int Identity(1, 1)
Go

Alter Table Names Drop Column ID
Go

Exec sp_rename 'Names.Id_new', 'ID', 'Column'

See the following Microsoft SQL Server Forum post for more details:

Ruby - test for array

[1,2,3].is_a? Array evaluates to true.

must declare a named package eclipse because this compilation unit is associated to the named module

Reason of the error: Package name left blank while creating a class. This make use of default package. Thus causes this error.

Quick fix:

  1. Create a package eg. helloWorld inside the src folder.
  2. Move helloWorld.java file in that package. Just drag and drop on the package. Error should disappear.

Explanation:

  • My Eclipse version: 2020-09 (4.17.0)
  • My Java version: Java 15, 2020-09-15

Latest version of Eclipse required java11 or above. The module feature is introduced in java9 and onward. It was proposed in 2005 for Java7 but later suspended. Java is object oriented based. And module is the moduler approach which can be seen in language like C. It was harder to implement it, due to which it took long time for the release. Source: Understanding Java 9 Modules

When you create a new project in Eclipse then by default module feature is selected. And in Eclipse-2020-09-R, a pop-up appears which ask for creation of module-info.java file. If you select don't create then module-info.java will not create and your project will free from this issue.

Best practice is while crating project, after giving project name. Click on next button instead of finish. On next page at the bottom it ask for creation of module-info.java file. Select or deselect as per need.

If selected: (by default) click on finish button and give name for module. Now while creating a class don't forget to give package name. Whenever you create a class just give package name. Any name, just don't left it blank.

If deselect: No issue

Warning: Failed propType: Invalid prop `component` supplied to `Route`

How to detect if multiple keys are pressed at once using JavaScript?

                map[17] = false;
                map[18] = false;
                map[83] = false;
            }
        });

Calculating time difference between 2 dates in minutes

Try this one:

select * from MyTab T where date_add(T.runTime, INTERVAL 20 MINUTE) < NOW()

NOTE: this should work if you're using MySQL DateTime format. If you're using Unix Timestamp (integer), then it would be even easier:

select * from MyTab T where UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - T.runTime > 20*60

UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function returns you current unix timestamp.

Java Try Catch Finally blocks without Catch

The finally block is executed after the try block completes. If something is thrown inside the try block when it leaves the finally block is executed.

How do I make a transparent border with CSS?

Since you said in a comment that the more options you have, the better, here's another one.

In CSS3, there are two different so-called "box models". One adds the border and padding to the width of a block element, while the other does not. You can use the latter by specifying

-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-ms-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;

Then, in modern browsers, the element will always have the same width. I.e., if you apply a border to it on hover, the width of the border will not add to the overall width of the element; the border will be added "inside" the element, so to speak. However, if I remember correctly, you must specify the width explicitly for this to work. Which is probably not an option for you in this particular case, but you can keep it in mind for future situations.

How do I request and process JSON with python?

For anything with requests to URLs you might want to check out requests. For JSON in particular:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
>>> r.json()
[{u'repository': {u'open_issues': 0, u'url': 'https://github.com/...

Apache VirtualHost and localhost

For someone doing everything described here and still can't access:

XAMPP with Apache HTTP Server 2.4:

In file httpd-vhost.conf:

<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/dir"
    ServerName something.dev
   <Directory "D:/xampp/htdocs/dir">
    Require all granted #apache v 2.4.4 uses just this
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

There isn't any need for a port, or an IP address here. Apache configures it on its own files. There isn't any need for NameVirtualHost *:80; it's deprecated. You can use it, but it doesn't make any difference.

Then to edit hosts, you must run Notepad as administrator (described bellow). If you were editing the file without doing this, you are editing a pseudo file, not the original (yes, it saves, etc., but it's not the real file)

In Windows:

Find the Notepad icon, right click, run as administrator, open file, go to C:/WINDOWS/system32/driver/etc/hosts, check "See all files", and open hosts.

If you where editing it before, probably you will see it's not the file you were previously editing when not running as administrator.

Then to check if Apache is reading your httpd-vhost.conf, go to folder xampFolder/apache/bin, Shift + right click, open a terminal command here, open XAMPP (as you usually do), start Apache, and then on the command line, type httpd -S. You will see a list of the virtual hosts. Just check if your something.dev is there.

Updating MySQL primary key

If the primary key happens to be an auto_increment value, you have to remove the auto increment, then drop the primary key then re-add the auto-increment

ALTER TABLE `xx`
MODIFY `auto_increment_field` INT, 
DROP PRIMARY KEY, 
ADD PRIMARY KEY (new_primary_key);

then add back the auto increment

ALTER TABLE `xx` ADD INDEX `auto_increment_field` (auto_increment_field),
MODIFY `auto_increment_field` int auto_increment;

then set auto increment back to previous value

ALTER TABLE `xx` AUTO_INCREMENT = 5;

Difference between IsNullOrEmpty and IsNullOrWhiteSpace in C#

IsNullOrWhiteSpace is a convenience method that is similar to the following code, except that it offers superior performance:

return String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) || value.Trim().Length == 0;

White-space characters are defined by the Unicode standard. The IsNullOrWhiteSpace method interprets any character that returns a value of true when it is passed to the Char.IsWhiteSpace method as a white-space character.

How to get page content using cURL?

For a realistic approach that emulates the most human behavior, you may want to add a referer in your curl options. You may also want to add a follow_location to your curl options. Trust me, whoever said that cURLING Google results is impossible, is a complete dolt and should throw his/her computer against the wall in hopes of never returning to the internetz again. Everything that you can do "IRL" with your own browser can all be emulated using PHP cURL or libCURL in Python. You just need to do more cURLS to get buff. Then you will see what I mean. :)

  $url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=".$strSearch."&hl=en&start=0&sa=N";
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.example.com/1');
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, urlencode($url));
  $response = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);

Detect whether a Python string is a number or a letter

For a string of length 1 you can simply perform isdigit() or isalpha()

If your string length is greater than 1, you can make a function something like..

def isinteger(a):
    try:
        int(a)
        return True
    except ValueError:
        return False

The Objective-C type you should use is BOOL. There is nothing like a native boolean datatype, therefore to be sure that the code compiles on all compilers use BOOL. (It's defined in the Apple-Frameworks.

DataGridView checkbox column - value and functionality

If you try it on CellContentClick Event

Use:

Change SQLite database mode to read-write

To share personal experience I encountered with this error that eventually fix both. Might not necessarily be related to your issue but it appears this error is so generic that it can be attributed to gazillion things.

  1. Database instance open in another application. My DB appeared to have been in a "locked" state so it transition to read only mode. I was able to track it down by stopping the a 2nd instance of the application sharing the DB.

  2. Directory tree permission - please be sure to ensure user account has permission not just at the file level but at the entire upper directory level all the way to / level.

Thanks

TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

I'm guessing you're running python3, in which input(prompt) returns a string. Try this.

x=int(input('prompt'))
y=int(input('prompt'))

How do browser cookie domains work?

I tested all the cases in the latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari in 2019.

Response to Added:

  • Will a cookie for .example.com be available for www.example.com? YES
  • Will a cookie for .example.com be available for example.com? YES
  • Will a cookie for example.com be available for www.example.com? NO, Domain without wildcard only matches itself.
  • Will a cookie for example.com be available for anotherexample.com? NO
  • Will www.example.com be able to set cookie for example.com? NO, it will be able to set cookie for '.example.com', but not 'example.com'.
  • Will www.example.com be able to set cookie for www2.example.com? NO. But it can set cookie for .example.com, which www2.example.com can access.
  • Will www.example.com be able to set cookie for .com? NO

How can I send an xml body using requests library?

How to get character array from a string?

This is an old question but I came across another solution not yet listed.

You can use the Object.assign function to get the desired output:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var output = Object.assign([], "Hello, world!");_x000D_
console.log(output);_x000D_
    // [ 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ',', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!' ]
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Not necessarily right or wrong, just another option.

Object.assign is described well at the MDN site.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x9c

http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html#the-unicode-type

str = unicode(str, errors='replace')

or

str = unicode(str, errors='ignore')

Note: This will strip out (ignore) the characters in question returning the string without them.

For me this is ideal case since I'm using it as protection against non-ASCII input which is not allowed by my application.

Alternatively: Use the open method from the codecs module to read in the file:

import codecs
with codecs.open(file_name, 'r', encoding='utf-8',
                 errors='ignore') as fdata:

Saving a text file on server using JavaScript

It's not possible to save content to the website using only client-side scripting such as JavaScript and jQuery, but by submitting the data in an AJAX POST request you could perform the other half very easily on the server-side.

However, I would not recommend having raw content such as scripts so easily writeable to your hosting as this could easily be exploited. If you want to learn more about AJAX POST requests, you can read the jQuery API page:

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/

And here are some things you ought to be aware of if you still want to save raw script files on your hosting. You have to be very careful with security if you are handling files like this!

File uploading (most of this applies if sending plain text too if javascript can choose the name of the file) http://www.developershome.com/wap/wapUpload/wap_upload.asp?page=security https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Unrestricted_File_Upload

How many socket connections can a web server handle?

To add my two cents to the conversation a process can have simultaneously open a number of sockets connected equal to this number (in Linux type sytems) /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

This number can be modified on the fly (only by root user of course)

echo 1024 > /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

But entirely depends on the server process, the hardware of the machine and the network, the real number of sockets that can be connected before crashing the system

YouTube Video Embedded via iframe Ignoring z-index?

Joshc's answer was on the right track, but I found that it totally deletes the ?rel=0 querystring and replaces it with the ?wmode=transparent item - which has the effect of displaying the YouTube Suggested Videos list at the end of the playback, even though you originally didn't want this to happen.

I changed the code so that the src attribute of the embedded video is scanned first, to see if there is a question mark ? in it already (because this denotes the presence of a pre-existing query string, which might be something like ?rel=0 but could in theory be anything that YouTube choose to append in the future). If there's a query string already there, we want to preserve it, not destroy it, because it represents a setting chosen by whoever pasted in this YouTube video, and they presumably chose it for a reason!

So, if ? is found, the wmode=transparent will be appended using the format: &mode=transparent to just tag it on the end of the pre-existing query string.

If no ? is found, then the code will work in exactly the same way as it did originally (in toomanyairmiles's post), appending just ?wmode=transparent as a new query string to the URL.

Now, regardless of what may or may not be on the end of the YouTube URL as a query string already, it gets preserved, and the required wmode parameters get injected or added without damage to what was there before.

Here's the code to drop into your document.ready function:

$('iframe').each(function() {
  var url = $(this).attr("src");
  if (url.indexOf("?") > 0) {
    $(this).attr({
      "src" : url + "&wmode=transparent",
      "wmode" : "opaque"
    });
  }
  else {
    $(this).attr({
      "src" : url + "?wmode=transparent",
      "wmode" : "opaque"
    });
  }
});

Creating Roles in Asp.net Identity MVC 5

Here we go:

var roleManager = new RoleManager<Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityRole>(new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(new ApplicationDbContext()));


   if(!roleManager.RoleExists("ROLE NAME"))
   {
      var role = new Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityRole();
      role.Name = "ROLE NAME";
      roleManager.Create(role);

How to make matrices in Python?

Looping helps:

for row in matrix:
    print ' '.join(row)

or use nested str.join() calls:

print '\n'.join([' '.join(row) for row in matrix])

Demo:

>>> matrix = [['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'], ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'], ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'], ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'], ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']]
>>> for row in matrix:
...     print ' '.join(row)
... 
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E
>>> print '\n'.join([' '.join(row) for row in matrix])
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E

If you wanted to show the rows and columns transposed, transpose the matrix by using the zip() function; if you pass each row as a separate argument to the function, zip() recombines these value by value as tuples of columns instead. The *args syntax lets you apply a whole sequence of rows as separate arguments:

>>> for cols in zip(*matrix):  # transposed
...     print ' '.join(cols)
... 
A A A A A
B B B B B
C C C C C
D D D D D
E E E E E

How to get 'System.Web.Http, Version=5.2.3.0?

I did Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core -version 5.2.3 but it still did not work. Then looked in my project bin folder and saw that it still had the old System.Web.Mvc file.

So I manually copied the newer file from the package to the bin folder. Then I was up and running again.

When and why to 'return false' in JavaScript?

I think a better question is, why in a case where you're evaluating a boolean set of return values, would you NOT use true/false? I mean, you could probably have true/null, true/-1, other misc. Javascript "falsy" values to substitute, but why would you do that?

Android- create JSON Array and JSON Object

Have been struggling with this till I found out the answer:

  1. Use GSON library:

    Gson gson = Gson();
    String str_json = gson.tojson(jsonArray);`
    
  2. Pass the json array. This will be auto stringfied. This option worked perfectly for me.

Compiler warning - suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value

Be explicit - then the compiler won't warn that you perhaps made a mistake.

while ( (list = list->next) != NULL )

or

while ( (list = list->next) )

Some day you'll be glad the compiler told you, people do make that mistake ;)

Get next element in foreach loop

You could probably use while loop instead of foreach:

while ($current = current($array) )
{
    $next = next($array);
    if (false !== $next && $next == $current)
    {
        //do something with $current
    }
}

Git update submodules recursively

git submodule update --recursive

You will also probably want to use the --init option which will make it initialize any uninitialized submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Note: in some older versions of Git, if you use the --init option, already-initialized submodules may not be updated. In that case, you should also run the command without --init option.

vim line numbers - how to have them on by default?

What is the difference between loose coupling and tight coupling in the object oriented paradigm?

In object oriented design, the amount of coupling refers to how much the design of one class depends on the design of another class. In other words, how often do changes in class A force related changes in class B? Tight coupling means the two classes often change together, loose coupling means they are mostly independent. In general, loose coupling is recommended because it's easier to test and maintain.

How to start working with GTest and CMake

The OP is using Windows, and a much easier way to use GTest today is with vcpkg+cmake.


Install vcpkg as per https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg , and make sure you can run vcpkg from the cmd line. Take note of the vcpkg installation folder, eg. C:\bin\programs\vcpkg.

Install gtest using vcpkg install gtest: this will download, compile, and install GTest.

Use a CmakeLists.txt as below: note we can use targets instead of including folders.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(sample CXX)
enable_testing()
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
add_executable(test1 test.cpp source.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test1 GTest::GTest GTest::Main)
add_test(test-1 test1)

Run cmake with: (edit the vcpkg folder if necessary, and make sure the path to the vcpkg.cmake toolchain file is correct)

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\bin\programs\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake

and build using cmake --build build as usual. Note that, vcpkg will also copy the required gtest(d).dll/gtest(d)_main.dll from the install folder to the Debug/Release folders.

Test with cd build & ctest.

Exporting to .xlsx using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel SaveAs Error

Try changing the second parameter in the SaveAs call to Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookDefault.

When I did that, I generated an xlsx file that I was able to successfully open. (Before making the change, I could produce an xlsx file, but I was unable to open it.)

Also, I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I'm using the Excel 12.0 object library.

SQL query to get the deadlocks in SQL SERVER 2008

You can use a deadlock graph and gather the information you require from the log file.

The only other way I could suggest is digging through the information by using EXEC SP_LOCK (Soon to be deprecated), EXEC SP_WHO2 or the sys.dm_tran_locks table.

SELECT  L.request_session_id AS SPID, 
    DB_NAME(L.resource_database_id) AS DatabaseName,
    O.Name AS LockedObjectName, 
    P.object_id AS LockedObjectId, 
    L.resource_type AS LockedResource, 
    L.request_mode AS LockType,
    ST.text AS SqlStatementText,        
    ES.login_name AS LoginName,
    ES.host_name AS HostName,
    TST.is_user_transaction as IsUserTransaction,
    AT.name as TransactionName,
    CN.auth_scheme as AuthenticationMethod
FROM    sys.dm_tran_locks L
    JOIN sys.partitions P ON P.hobt_id = L.resource_associated_entity_id
    JOIN sys.objects O ON O.object_id = P.object_id
    JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions ES ON ES.session_id = L.request_session_id
    JOIN sys.dm_tran_session_transactions TST ON ES.session_id = TST.session_id
    JOIN sys.dm_tran_active_transactions AT ON TST.transaction_id = AT.transaction_id
    JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections CN ON CN.session_id = ES.session_id
    CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(CN.most_recent_sql_handle) AS ST

Run java jar file on a server as background process

You can try this:

#!/bin/sh
nohup java -jar /web/server.jar &

The & symbol, switches the program to run in the background.

The nohup utility makes the command passed as an argument run in the background even after you log out.

Test a weekly cron job

After messing about with some stuff in cron which wasn't instantly compatible I found that the following approach was nice for debugging:

crontab -e

* * * * * /path/to/prog var1 var2 &>>/tmp/cron_debug_log.log

This will run the task once a minute and you can simply look in the /tmp/cron_debug_log.log file to figure out what is going on.

It is not exactly the "fire job" you might be looking for, but this helped me a lot when debugging a script that didn't work in cron at first.

How can I read and manipulate CSV file data in C++?

If what you're really doing is manipulating a CSV file itself, Nelson's answer makes sense. However, my suspicion is that the CSV is simply an artifact of the problem you're solving. In C++, that probably means you have something like this as your data model:

struct Customer {
    int id;
    std::string first_name;
    std::string last_name;
    struct {
        std::string street;
        std::string unit;
    } address;
    char state[2];
    int zip;
};

Thus, when you're working with a collection of data, it makes sense to have std::vector<Customer> or std::set<Customer>.

With that in mind, think of your CSV handling as two operations:

// if you wanted to go nuts, you could use a forward iterator concept for both of these
class CSVReader {
public:
    CSVReader(const std::string &inputFile);
    bool hasNextLine();
    void readNextLine(std::vector<std::string> &fields);
private:
    /* secrets */
};
class CSVWriter {
public:
    CSVWriter(const std::string &outputFile);
    void writeNextLine(const std::vector<std::string> &fields);
private:
    /* more secrets */
};
void readCustomers(CSVReader &reader, std::vector<Customer> &customers);
void writeCustomers(CSVWriter &writer, const std::vector<Customer> &customers);

Read and write a single row at a time, rather than keeping a complete in-memory representation of the file itself. There are a few obvious benefits:

  1. Your data is represented in a form that makes sense for your problem (customers), rather than the current solution (CSV files).
  2. You can trivially add adapters for other data formats, such as bulk SQL import/export, Excel/OO spreadsheet files, or even an HTML <table> rendering.
  3. Your memory footprint is likely to be smaller (depends on relative sizeof(Customer) vs. the number of bytes in a single row).
  4. CSVReader and CSVWriter can be reused as the basis for an in-memory model (such as Nelson's) without loss of performance or functionality. The converse is not true.

Jquery Date picker Default Date

interesting, datepicker default date is current date as I found,

but you can set date by

$("#yourinput").datepicker( "setDate" , "7/11/2011" );

don't forget to check you system date :)

Passing arguments to an interactive program non-interactively

You can put the data in a file and re-direct it like this:

$ cat file.sh

$ cat data.txt

How to convert data.frame column from Factor to numeric

breast$class <- as.numeric(as.character(breast$class))

If you have many columns to convert to numeric

indx <- sapply(breast, is.factor)
breast[indx] <- lapply(breast[indx], function(x) as.numeric(as.character(x)))

Another option is to use stringsAsFactors=FALSE while reading the file using read.table or read.csv

Just in case, other options to create/change columns

 breast[,'class'] <- as.numeric(as.character(breast[,'class']))

or

 breast <- transform(breast, class=as.numeric(as.character(breast)))

Removing duplicates from a SQL query (not just "use distinct")

You need to tell the query what value to pick for the other columns, MIN or MAX seem like suitable choices.

 SELECT
   U.NAME, MIN(P.PIC_ID)
 FROM
   USERS U,
   PICTURES P,
   POSTINGS P1
 WHERE
   U.EMAIL_ID = P1.EMAIL_ID AND
   P1.PIC_ID = P.PIC_ID AND
   P.CAPTION LIKE '%car%'
 GROUP BY
   U.NAME;

Getting a link to go to a specific section on another page

I believe the example you've posted is using HTML5, which allows you to jump to any DOM element with the matching ID attribute. To support older browsers, you'll need to change:

<div id="timeline" name="timeline" ...>

To the old format:

<a name="timeline" />

You'll then be able to navigate to /academics/page.html#timeline and jump right to that section.

Also, check out this similar question.

docker container ssl certificates

I am trying to do something similar to this. As commented above, I think you would want to build a new image with a custom Dockerfile (using the image you pulled as a base image), ADD your certificate, then RUN update-ca-certificates. This way you will have a consistent state each time you start a container from this new image.

# Dockerfile
FROM some-base-image:0.1
ADD you_certificate.crt:/container/cert/path
RUN update-ca-certificates

Let's say a docker build against that Dockerfile produced IMAGE_ID. On the next docker run -d [any other options] IMAGE_ID, the container started by that command will have your certificate info. Simple and reproducible.

RandomForestClassfier.fit(): ValueError: could not convert string to float

Indeed a one-hot encoder will work just fine here, convert any string and numerical categorical variables you want into 1's and 0's this way and random forest should not complain.

Can I run javascript before the whole page is loaded?

Not only can you, but you have to make a special effort not to if you don't want to. :-)

When the browser encounters a classic script tag when parsing the HTML, it stops parsing and hands over to the JavaScript interpreter, which runs the script. The parser doesn't continue until the script execution is complete (because the script might do document.write calls to output markup that the parser should handle).

That's the default behavior, but you have a few options for delaying script execution:

  1. Use JavaScript modules. A type="module" script is deferred until the HTML has been fully parsed and the initial DOM created. This isn't the primary reason to use modules, but it's one of the reasons:

    <script type="module" src="./my-code.js"></script>
    <!-- Or -->
    <script type="module">
    // Your code here
    </script>
    

    The code will be fetched (if it's separate) and parsed in parallel with the HTML parsing, but won't be run until the HTML parsing is done. (If your module code is inline rather than in its own file, it is also deferred until HTML parsing is complete.)

    This wasn't available when I first wrote this answer in 2010, but here in 2020, all major modern browsers support modules natively, and if you need to support older browsers, you can use bundlers like Webpack and Rollup.js.

  2. Use the defer attribute on a classic script tag:

    <script defer src="./my-code.js"></script>
    

    As with the module, the code in my-code.js will be fetched and parsed in parallel with the HTML parsing, but won't be run until the HTML parsing is done. But, defer doesn't work with inline script content, only with external files referenced via src.

  3. I don't think it's what you want, but you can use the async attribute to tell the browser to fetch the JavaScript code in parallel with the HTML parsing, but then run it as soon as possible, even if the HTML parsing isn't complete. You can put it on a type="module" tag, or use it instead of defer on a classic script tag.

  4. Put the script tag at the end of the document, just prior to the closing </body> tag:

    <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <!-- ... -->
    <body>
    <!-- The document's HTML goes here -->
    <script type="module" src="./my-code.js"></script><!-- Or inline script -->
    </body>
    </html>
    

    That way, even though the code is run as soon as its encountered, all of the elements defined by the HTML above it exist and are ready to be used.

    It used to be that this caused an additional delay on some browsers because they wouldn't start fetching the code until the script tag was encountered, but modern browsers scan ahead and start prefetching. Still, this is very much the third choice at this point, both modules and defer are better options.

The spec has a useful diagram showing a raw script tag, defer, async, type="module", and type="module" async and the timing of when the JavaScript code is fetched and run:

enter image description here

Here's an example of the default behavior, a raw script tag:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.found {_x000D_
    color: green;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>Paragraph 1</p>_x000D_
<script>_x000D_
    if (typeof NodeList !== "undefined" && !NodeList.prototype.forEach) {_x000D_
        NodeList.prototype.forEach = Array.prototype.forEach;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    document.querySelectorAll("p").forEach(p => {_x000D_
        p.classList.add("found");_x000D_
    });_x000D_
</script>_x000D_
<p>Paragraph 2</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

(See my answer here for details around that NodeList code.)

When you run that, you see "Paragraph 1" in green but "Paragraph 2" is black, because the script ran synchronously with the HTML parsing, and so it only found the first paragraph, not the second.

In contrast, here's a type="module" script:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.found {_x000D_
    color: green;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>Paragraph 1</p>_x000D_
<script type="module">_x000D_
    document.querySelectorAll("p").forEach(p => {_x000D_
        p.classList.add("found");_x000D_
    });_x000D_
</script>_x000D_
<p>Paragraph 2</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Notice how they're both green now; the code didn't run until HTML parsing was complete. That would also be true with a defer script with external content (but not inline content).

(There was no need for the NodeList check there because any modern browser supporting modules already has forEach on NodeList.)

In this modern world, there's no real value to the DOMContentLoaded event of the "ready" feature that PrototypeJS, jQuery, ExtJS, Dojo, and most others provided back in the day (and still provide); just use modules or defer. Even back in the day, there wasn't much reason for using them (and they were often used incorrectly, holding up page presentation while the entire jQuery library was loaded because the script was in the head instead of after the document), something some developers at Google flagged up early on. This was also part of the reason for the YUI recommendation to put scripts at the end of the body, again back in the day.

How do I revert back to an OpenWrt router configuration?

You can run this command for making a factory reset:

killall dropbear uhttpd; sleep 1; mtd -r erase rootfs_data

SQL query for today's date minus two months

TSQL, Alternative using variable declaration. (it might improve Query's readability)

DECLARE @gapPeriod DATETIME = DATEADD(MONTH,-2,GETDATE()); --Period:Last 2 months.

SELECT 
        *
    FROM 
        FB as A
    WHERE
        A.Dte <= @gapPeriod;                               --only older records.

count number of characters in nvarchar column

You can find the number of characters using system function LEN. i.e.

SELECT LEN(Column) FROM TABLE

Excel cell value as string won't store as string

Use Range("A1").Text instead of .Value

post comment edit:
Why?
Because the .Text property of Range object returns what is literally visible in the spreadsheet, so if you cell displays for example i100l:25he*_92 then <- Text will return exactly what it in the cell including any formatting.
The .Value and .Value2 properties return what's stored in the cell under the hood excluding formatting. Specially .Value2 for date types, it will return the decimal representation.

If you want to dig deeper into the meaning and performance, I just found this article which seems like a good guide

another edit
Here you go @Santosh
type in (MANUALLY) the values from the DEFAULT (col A) to other columns
Do not format column A at all
Format column B as Text
Format column C as Date[dd/mm/yyyy]
Format column D as Percentage
Dont Format column A, Format B as TEXT, C as Date, D as Percentage
now,
paste this code in a module

Sub main()

    Dim ws As Worksheet, i&, j&
    Set ws = Sheets(1)
    For i = 3 To 7
        For j = 1 To 4
            Debug.Print _
                    "row " & i & vbTab & vbTab & _
                    Cells(i, j).Text & vbTab & _
                    Cells(i, j).Value & vbTab & _
                    Cells(i, j).Value2
        Next j
    Next i
End Sub

and Analyse the output! Its really easy and there isn't much more i can do to help :)

Delete all files of specific type (extension) recursively down a directory using a batch file

I wrote a batch script a while ago that allows you to pick a file extension to delete. The script will look in the folder it is in and all subfolders for any file with that extension and delete it.

@ECHO OFF
CLS

SET found=0
ECHO Enter the file extension you want to delete...
SET /p ext="> "

IF EXIST *.%ext% (           rem Check if there are any in the current folder :)
  DEL *.%ext%
  SET found=1
)
FOR /D /R %%G IN ("*") DO (  rem Iterate through all subfolders
  IF EXIST %%G CD %%G
  IF EXIST *.%ext% (
    DEL *.%ext%
    SET found=1
  )
)

IF %found%==1 (
  ECHO.
  ECHO Deleted all .%ext% files.
  ECHO.
) ELSE (
  ECHO.
  ECHO There were no .%ext% files.
  ECHO Nothing has been deleted.
  ECHO.
)

PAUSE
EXIT

Hope this comes in useful to anyone who wants it :)

jquery can't get data attribute value

Changing the casing to all lowercases worked for me.

parent & child with position fixed, parent overflow:hidden bug

I had a similar, quite complex problem with a fluid layout, where the right column had a fixed width and the left one had a flexible width. My fixed container should have the same width as the flexible column. Here is my solution:

HTML

<div id="wrapper">
    <div id="col1">
    <div id="fixed-outer">
        <div id="fixed-inner">inner</div>
    </div>
    COL1<br />Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
    </div>
    <div id="col2">COL2</div>
</div>

CSS

    #wrapper {
    padding-left: 20px;
}

#col1 {
    background-color: grey;
    float: left;
    margin-right: -200px; /* #col2 width */
    width: 100%;
}

#col2 {
    background-color: #ddd;
    float: left;
    height: 400px;
    width: 200px;
}

#fixed-outer {
    background: yellow;
    border-right: 2px solid red;
    height: 30px;
    margin-left: -420px; /* 2x #col2 width + #wrapper padding-left */
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-right: 200px; /* #col2 width */
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
}

#fixed-inner {
    background: orange;
    border-left: 2px solid blue;
    border-top: 2px solid blue;
    height: 30px;
    margin-left: 420px; /* 2x #col2 width + #wrapper padding-left */
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
}

How does origin/HEAD get set?

Remember there are two independent git repos we are talking about. Your local repo with your code and the remote running somewhere else.

Your are right, when you change a branch, HEAD points to your current branch. All of this is happening on your local git repo. Not the remote repo, which could be owned by another developer, or siting on a sever in your office, or github, or another directory on the filesystem, or etc...

Your computer (local repo) has no business changing the HEAD pointer on the remote git repo. It could be owned by a different developer for example.

One more thing, what your computer calls origin/XXX is your computer's understanding of the state of the remote at the time of the last fetch.

So what would "organically" update origin/HEAD? It would be activity on the remote git repo. Not your local repo.

People have mentioned

git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/head/my_other_branch

Normally, that is used when there is a shared central git repo on a server for use by the development team. It would be a command executed on the remote computer. You would see this as activity on the remote git repo.

Checking whether the pip is installed?

Use command line and not python.
TLDR; On Windows, do:
python -m pip --version
OR
py -m pip --version

Details:

On Windows, ~> (open windows terminal)
Start (or Windows Key) > type "cmd" Press Enter
You should see a screen that looks like this enter image description here
To check to see if pip is installed.

python -m pip --version

if pip is installed, go ahead and use it. for example:

Z:\>python -m pip install selenium

if not installed, install pip, and you may need to
add its path to the environment variables.
(basic - windows)
add path to environment variables (basic+advanced)

if python is NOT installed you will get a result similar to the one below

enter image description here

Install python. add its path to environment variables.

UPDATE: for newer versions of python replace "python" with py - see @gimmegimme's comment and link https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/

move a virtual machine from one vCenter to another vCenter

A much simpler way to do this is to use vCenter Converter Standalone Client and do a P2V but in this case a V2V. It is much faster than copying the entire VM files onto some storage somewhere and copy it onto your new vCenter. It takes a long time to copy or exporting it to an OVF template and then import it. You can set your vCenter Converter Standalone Client to V2V in one step and synchronize and then have it power up the VM on the new Vcenter and shut off on the old vCenter. Simple.

For me using this method I was able to move a VM from one vCenter to another vCenter in about 30 minutes as compared to copying or exporting which took over 2hrs. Your results may vary.


This process below, from another responder, would work even better if you can present that datastore to ESXi servers on the vCenter and then follow step 2. Eliminating having to copy all the VMs then follow rest of the process.

  1. Copy all of the cloned VM's files from its directory, and place it on its destination datastore.
  2. In the VI client connected to the destination vCenter, go to the Inventory->Datastores view.
  3. Open the datastore browser for the datastore where you placed the VM's files.
  4. Find the .vmx file that you copied over and right-click it.
  5. Choose 'Register Virtual Machine', and follow whatever prompts ensue. (Depending on your version of vCenter, this may be 'Add to Inventory' or some other variant)
