Programs & Examples On #Code separation

Is it a good practice to place C++ definitions in header files?

What might be informing you coworker is a notion that most C++ code should be templated to allow for maximum usability. And if it's templated, then everything will need to be in a header file, so that client code can see it and instantiate it. If it's good enough for Boost and the STL, it's good enough for us.

I don't agree with this point of view, but it may be where it's coming from.

How to create a laravel hashed password

If you want to understand how excatly laravel works you can review the complete class on Github: https://github.com/illuminate/hashing/blob/master/BcryptHasher.php

But basically there are Three PHP methods involved on that:

$pasword = 'user-password';
// To create a valid password out of laravel Try out!
$cost=10; // Default cost
$password = password_hash($pasword, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, ['cost' => $cost]);

// To validate the password you can use
$hash = '$2y$10$NhRNj6QF.Bo6ePSRsClYD.4zHFyoQr/WOdcESjIuRsluN1DvzqSHm';

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

//Finally if you have a $hash but you want to know the information about that hash. 
print_r( password_get_info( $password_hash ));

The hashed password is same as laravel 5.x bcrypt password. No need to give salt and cost, it will take its default values.

Those methods has been implemented in the laravel class, but if you want to learn more please review the official documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php

Visual Studio 2013 error MS8020 Build tools v140 cannot be found

@bku_drytt's solution didn't do it for me.

I solved it by additionally changing every occurence of 14.0 to 12.0 and v140 to v120 manually in the .vcxproj files.

Then it compiled!

ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error

Windows Firewall could cause this exception, try to disable it or add a rule for port or even program (java)

Writing image to local server

Cleanest way of saving image locally using request:

const request = require('request');
request('http://link/to/your/image/file.png').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('fileName.png'))

If you need to add authentication token in headers do this:

const request = require('request');
request({
        url: 'http://link/to/your/image/file.png',
        headers: {
            "X-Token-Auth": TOKEN,
        }
    }).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('filename.png'))                    

How do I convert a org.w3c.dom.Document object to a String?

A Scala version based on Zaz's answer.

  case class DocumentEx(document: Document) {
    def toXmlString(pretty: Boolean = false):Try[String] = {
      getStringFromDocument(document, pretty)
    }
  }

  implicit def documentToDocumentEx(document: Document):DocumentEx = {
    DocumentEx(document)
  }

  def getStringFromDocument(doc: Document, pretty:Boolean): Try[String] = {
    try
    {
      val domSource= new DOMSource(doc)
      val writer = new StringWriter()
      val result = new StreamResult(writer)
      val tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance()
      val transformer = tf.newTransformer()
      if (pretty)
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes")
      transformer.transform(domSource, result)
      Success(writer.toString);
    }
    catch {
      case ex: TransformerException =>
        Failure(ex)
    }
  }

With that, you can do either doc.toXmlString() or call the getStringFromDocument(doc) function.

Regular expression that doesn't contain certain string

All you need is a reluctant quantifier:

regex: /aa.*?aa/

aabbabcaabda   => aabbabcaa

aaaaaabda      => aaaa

aabbabcaabda   => aabbabcaa

aababaaaabdaa  => aababaa, aabdaa

You could use negative lookahead, too, but in this case it's just a more verbose way accomplish the same thing. Also, it's a little trickier than gpojd made it out to be. The lookahead has to be applied at each position before the dot is allowed to consume the next character.

/aa(?:(?!aa).)*aa/

As for the approach suggested by Claudiu and finnw, it'll work okay when the sentinel string is only two characters long, but (as Claudiu acknowledged) it's too unwieldy for longer strings.

$img    = 'miki.png';
$file   = file($url);
$result = file_put_contents($img, $file)

How to set the thumbnail image on HTML5 video?

That seems to be an extra image being shown there.

You can try using this

<img src="/images/image_of_video.png" alt="image" />
/* write your code for the video here */

Now using jQuery play the video and hide the image as

$('img').click(function () {
  $(this).hide();
  // use the parameters to play the video now..
})

Can I access variables from another file?

I came across amplify.js. It's really simple to use. To store a value, let's call it "myValue", you do:

amplify.store("myKey", "myValue")

And to access it, you do

amplify.store("myKey")

How can I create an array with key value pairs?

No need array_push function.if you want to add multiple item it works fine. simply try this and it worked for me

          $row=  explode('-', $key);
          $this->commission_one[$row['0']]= $row['1'];            
   }

}

SQL - select distinct only on one column

Since you don't care, I chose the max ID for each number.

select tbl.* from tbl
inner join (

Query Explanation

 select 
    tbl.*  -- give me all the data from the base table (tbl) 
 from 
    tbl    
    inner join (  -- only return rows in tbl which match this subquery
        select 
            max(id) as maxID -- MAX (ie distinct) ID per GROUP BY below
        from 
            tbl 
        group by 
            NUMBER            -- how to group rows for the MAX aggregation
    ) maxID
        on maxID.maxID = tbl.id -- join condition ie only return rows in tbl 
                                -- whose ID is also a MAX ID for a given NUMBER

Node.js EACCES error when listening on most ports

restart was not enough! The only way to solve the problem is by the following:

You have to kill the service which run at that port.

at cmd, run as admin, then type : netstat -aon | find /i "listening"

Then, you will get a list with the active service, search for the port that is running at 4200n and use the process id which is the last column to kill it by

: taskkill /F /PID 2652

Python Threading String Arguments

I hope to provide more background knowledge here.

First, constructor signature of the of method threading::Thread:

class threading.Thread(group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={}, *, daemon=None)

args is the argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ().

Second, A quirk in Python about tuple:

Empty tuples are constructed by an empty pair of parentheses; a tuple with one item is constructed by following a value with a comma (it is not sufficient to enclose a single value in parentheses).

On the other hand, a string is a sequence of characters, like 'abc'[1] == 'b'. So if send a string to args, even in parentheses (still a sting), each character will be treated as a single parameter.

However, Python is so integrated and is not like JavaScript where extra arguments can be tolerated. Instead, it throws an TypeError to complain.

How do I remove newlines from a text file?

I would do it with awk, e.g.

awk '/[0-9]+/ { a = a $0 ";" } END { print a }' file.txt

(a disadvantage is that a is "accumulated" in memory).

EDIT

Forgot about printf! So also

awk '/[0-9]+/ { printf "%s;", $0 }' file.txt

or likely better, what it was already given in the other ans using awk.

Get exception description and stack trace which caused an exception, all as a string

>>> import sys
>>> import traceback
>>> try:
...   5 / 0
... except ZeroDivisionError as e:
...   type_, value_, traceback_ = sys.exc_info()
>>> traceback.format_tb(traceback_)
['  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>\n']
>>> value_
ZeroDivisionError('integer division or modulo by zero',)
>>> type_
<type 'exceptions.ZeroDivisionError'>
>>>
>>> 5 / 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

You use sys.exc_info() to collect the information and the functions in the traceback module to format it. Here are some examples for formatting it.

The whole exception string is at:

>>> ex = traceback.format_exception(type_, value_, traceback_)
>>> ex
['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', '  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>\n', 'ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero\n']

How to get the Parent's parent directory in Powershell?

You can split it at the backslashes, and take the next-to-last one with negative array indexing to get just the grandparent directory name.

($scriptpath -split '\\')[-2]

You have to double the backslash to escape it in the regex.

To get the entire path:

($path -split '\\')[0..(($path -split '\\').count -2)] -join '\'

And, looking at the parameters for split-path, it takes the path as pipeline input, so:

$rootpath = $scriptpath | split-path -parent | split-path -parent

How to return data from promise

I also don't like using a function to handle a property which has been resolved again and again in every controller and service. Seem I'm not alone :D

Don't tried to get result with a promise as a variable, of course no way. But I found and use a solution below to access to the result as a property.

Firstly, write result to a property of your service:

app.factory('your_factory',function(){
    var theParentIdResult = null;
    var factoryReturn = {  
        theParentId: theParentIdResult,
        addSiteParentId : addSiteParentId
    };
    return factoryReturn;
    function addSiteParentId(nodeId) {   
         var theParentId = 'a';
         var parentId = relationsManagerResource.GetParentId(nodeId)
             .then(function(response){                               
                 factoryReturn.theParentIdResult = response.data;
                 console.log(theParentId);  // #1
             });                    
    }        
})

Now, we just need to ensure that method addSiteParentId always be resolved before we accessed to property theParentId. We can achieve this by using some ways.

  • Use resolve in router method:

    resolve: {
        parentId: function (your_factory) {
             your_factory.addSiteParentId();
        }
    }
    

then in controller and other services used in your router, just call your_factory.theParentId to get your property. Referce here for more information: http://odetocode.com/blogs/scott/archive/2014/05/20/using-resolve-in-angularjs-routes.aspx

  • Use run method of app to resolve your service.

    app.run(function (your_factory) { your_factory.addSiteParentId(); })
    
  • Inject it in the first controller or services of the controller. In the controller we can call all required init services. Then all remain controllers as children of main controller can be accessed to this property normally as you want.

Chose your ways depend on your context depend on scope of your variable and reading frequency of your variable.

Spring Security with roles and permissions

ACL was overkill for my requirements also.
I ended up creating a library similar to @Alexander's to inject a GrantedAuthority list for Role->Permissions based on the role membership of a user.

For example, using a DB to hold the relationships -

@Autowired 
RolePermissionsRepository repository;

public void setup(){
  String roleName = "ROLE_ADMIN";
  List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
  permissions.add("CREATE");
  permissions.add("READ");
  permissions.add("UPDATE");
  permissions.add("DELETE");
  repository.save(new RolePermissions(roleName, permissions));
}

When an Authentication object is injected in the current security session, it will have the original roles/granted authorities.

This library provides 2 built-in integration points for Spring Security. When the integration point is reached, the PermissionProvider is called to get the effective permissions for each role the user is a member of.
The distinct list of permissions are added as GrantedAuthority items in the Authentication object.

You can also implement a custom PermissionProvider to store the relationships in config for example.

And the source code is here - https://github.com/savantly-net/spring-role-permissions

    Do While Filename <> ""
       count = count + 1
        Filename = Dir()
    Loop

    Range("Q8").Value = count

Windows path in Python

Use PowerShell

In Windows, you can use / in your path just like Linux or macOS in all places as long as you use PowerShell as your command-line interface. It comes pre-installed on Windows and it supports many Linux commands like ls command.

If you use Windows Command Prompt (the one that appears when you type cmd in Windows Start Menu), you need to specify paths with \ just inside it. You can use / paths in all other places (code editor, Python interactive mode, etc.).

Parsing jQuery AJAX response

you must parse JSON string to become object

var dataObject = jQuery.parseJSON(data);

so you can call it like:

       var insertedGoalId = dataObject.inserted.goal_id;
       ...
       ...
    }
}

Asynchronous vs synchronous execution, what does it really mean?

Yes synchronous means at the same time, literally, it means doing work all together. multiple human/objects in the world can do multiple things at the same time but if we look at computer, it says synchronous means where the processes work together that means the processes are dependent on the return of one another and that's why they get executed one after another in proper sequence. Whereas asynchronous means where processes don't work together, they may work at the same time(if are on multithread), but work independently.

arranging div one below the other

If you want the two divs to be displayed one above the other, the simplest answer is to remove the float: left;from the css declaration, as this causes them to collapse to the size of their contents (or the css defined size), and, well float up against each other.

Alternatively, you could simply add clear:both; to the divs, which will force the floated content to clear previous floats.

angular js unknown provider

I faced similar issue today and issues was really very small

 app.directive('removeFriend', function($scope) {
return {
    restrict: 'E',
    templateUrl: 'removeFriend.html',
    controller: function($scope) {
        $scope.removing = false;
        $scope.startRemove = function() {
            $scope.removing = true;
        }
        $scope.cancelRemove = function() {
            $scope.removing = false;
        }
        $scope.removeFriend = function(friend) {
            var idx = $scope.user.friends.indexOf(friend)
            if (idx > -1) {
                $scope.user.friends.splice(idx, 1);
            }
        }
    }
}
});

If you observe the above block, in the first line you will observe I injected $scope by mistake which is incorrect. I removed that unwanted dependency to solve the issue.

 app.directive('removeFriend', function() {
return {
    restrict: 'E',
    templateUrl: 'removeFriend.html',
    controller: function($scope) {
        $scope.removing = false;
        $scope.startRemove = function() {
            $scope.removing = true;
        }
        $scope.cancelRemove = function() {
            $scope.removing = false;
        }
        $scope.removeFriend = function(friend) {
            var idx = $scope.user.friends.indexOf(friend)
            if (idx > -1) {
                $scope.user.friends.splice(idx, 1);
            }
        }
    }
}
});

Jenkins fails when running "service start jenkins"

I had below error:

Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Solution was to revert the NAME to jenkins in the below file (Earlier I have changed it to 'NAME=ubuntu'):

sudo vi /etc/default/jenkins
    NAME=jenkins

Now restart passed:

sudo service jenkins restart
sudo systemctl restart jenkins.service

Hope that helps.

Running a cron every 30 seconds

Cron job cannot be used to schedule a job in seconds interval. i.e You cannot schedule a cron job to run every 5 seconds. The alternative is to write a shell script that uses sleep 5 command in it.

Create a shell script every-5-seconds.sh using bash while loop as shown below.

$ cat every-5-seconds.sh
#!/bin/bash
while true
do
 /home/ramesh/backup.sh
 sleep 5
done

Now, execute this shell script in the background using nohup as shown below. This will keep executing the script even after you logout from your session. This will execute your backup.sh shell script every 5 seconds.

$ nohup ./every-5-seconds.sh &

How to shrink temp tablespace in oracle?

You should have written what version of Oracle you use. You most likely use something else than Oracle 11g, that's why you can't shrink a temp tablespace.

Alternatives:

1) alter database tempfile '[your_file]' resize 128M; which will probably fail
2) Drop and recreate the tablespace. If the temporary tablespace you want to shrink is your default temporary tablespace, you may have to first create a new temporary tablespace, set it as the default temporary tablespace then drop your old default temporary tablespace and recreate it. Afterwards drop the second temporary table created. 3) For Oracle 9i and higher you could just drop the tempfile(s) and add a new one(s)

Everything is described here in great detail.

What is the default username and password in Tomcat?

In Tomcat 7 you have to add this to tomcat-users.xml (On windows 7 it is located by default installation here: c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\conf\ )

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
  <role rolename="manager-status"/>
  <role rolename="admin-gui"/>
  <role rolename="admin-script"/>
  <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status,admin-gui,admin-script"/>
</tomcat-users>

NOTE that there shouldn't be ANY spaces between roles for admin, as this list should be comma separated.

So, instead of this (as suggested in some answers:

<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui, manager-script, manager-jmx, manager-status, admin-gui, admin-script"/>

it MUST be like this:

  <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status,admin-gui,admin-script"/>

Angular 1.6.0: "Possibly unhandled rejection" error

You could mask the problem by turning off errorOnUnhandledRejections, but the error says you're needing to "handle a possible rejection" so you just need to add a catch to your promise.

resource.get().$promise
    .then(function (response) {
    // do something with the response
    }).catch(function (error)) {
        // pass the error to the error service
        return errorService.handleError(error);
    });

Change arrow colors in Bootstraps carousel

To customize the colors for the carousel controls, captions, and indicators using Sass you can include these variables

    $carousel-control-color: 
    $carousel-caption-color: 
    $carousel-indicator-active-bg: 

Remove white space below image

You're seeing the space for descenders (the bits that hang off the bottom of 'y' and 'p') because img is an inline element by default. This removes the gap:

.youtube-thumb img { display: block; }

addEventListener, "change" and option selection

The problem is that you used the select option, this is where you went wrong. Select signifies that a textbox or textArea has a focus. What you need to do is use change. "Fires when a new choice is made in a select element", also used like blur when moving away from a textbox or textArea.

function start(){
      document.getElementById("activitySelector").addEventListener("change", addActivityItem, false);
      }

function addActivityItem(){
      //option is selected
      alert("yeah");
}

window.addEventListener("load", start, false);

How to SELECT based on value of another SELECT

You can calculate the total (and from that the desired percentage) by using a subquery in the FROM clause:

SELECT Name,
       SUM(Value) AS "SUM(VALUE)",
       SUM(Value) / totals.total AS "% of Total"
FROM   table1,
       (
           SELECT Name,
                  SUM(Value) AS total
           FROM   table1
           GROUP BY Name
       ) AS totals
WHERE  table1.Name = totals.Name
AND    Year BETWEEN 2000 AND 2001
GROUP BY Name;

Note that the subquery does not have the WHERE clause filtering the years.

How can I mock an ES6 module import using Jest?

Adding more to Andreas' answer. I had the same problem with ES6 code, but I did not want to mutate the imports. That looked hacky. So I did this:

import myModule from '../myModule';
import dependency from '../dependency';
jest.mock('../dependency');

describe('myModule', () => {
  it('calls the dependency with double the input', () => {
    myModule(2);
  });
});

And added file dependency.js in the " __ mocks __" folder parallel to file dependency.js. This worked for me. Also, this gave me the option to return suitable data from the mock implementation. Make sure you give the correct path to the module you want to mock.

How to include css files in Vue 2

You can import the css file on App.vue, inside the style tag.

<style>
  @import './assets/styles/yourstyles.css';
</style>

Also, make sure you have the right loaders installed, if you need any.

How to download excel (.xls) file from API in postman?

Try selecting send and download instead of send when you make the request. (the blue button)

"For binary response types, you should select Send and download which will let you save the response to your hard disk. You can then view it using the appropriate viewer."

Calling filter returns <filter object at ... >

It's an iterator returned by the filter function.

If you want a list, just do

list(filter(f, range(2, 25)))

Nonetheless, you can just iterate over this object with a for loop.

for e in filter(f, range(2, 25)):
    do_stuff(e)

How to run Java program in command prompt

A very general command prompt how to for java is

javac mainjava.java
java mainjava

You'll very often see people doing

javac *.java
java mainjava

As for the subclass problem that's probably occurring because a path is missing from your class path, the -c flag I believe is used to set that.

vue.js 'document.getElementById' shorthand

you can find your answer in the combination of these two pages in the API:

ref is used to register a reference to an element or a child component. The reference will be registered under the parent component’s $refs object. If used on a plain DOM element, the reference will be that element

An object that holds child components that have ref registered.

What's the "Content-Length" field in HTTP header?

The Content-Length entity-header field indicates the size of the entity-body, in decimal number of OCTETs, sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the size of the entity-body that would have been sent had the request been a GET.

Content-Length = "Content-Length" ":" 1*DIGIT

An example is

Content-Length: 1024

Applications SHOULD use this field to indicate the transfer-length of the message-body.

In PHP you would use something like this.

header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));

In case of "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" the encoded data is sent to the processing agent designated so you can set the length or size of the data you are going to post.

CodeIgniter: 404 Page Not Found on Live Server

Solved the issue. Change your class name to make only the first letter capitalized. so if you got something like 'MyClass' change it to 'Myclass'. apply it to both the file name and class name.

Mercurial stuck "waiting for lock"

I encountered this problem on Mac OS X 10.7.5 and Mercurial 2.6.2 when trying to push. After upgrading to Mercurial 3.2.1, I got "no changes found" instead of "waiting for lock on repository". I found out that somehow the default path had gotten set to point to the same repository, so it's not too surprising that Mercurial would get confused.

Read a file line by line with VB.NET

Like this... I used it to read Chinese characters...

   '
   ' Code here
   '
Loop Until a Is Nothing

reader.Close()

Shell script "for" loop syntax

If the seq command available on your system:

for i in `seq 2 $max`
do
  echo "output: $i"
done

If not, then use poor man's seq with perl:

seq=`perl -e "\$,=' ';print 2..$max"`
for i in $seq
do
  echo "output: $i"
done

Watch those quote marks.

Create empty data frame with column names by assigning a string vector?

How about:

df <- data.frame(matrix(ncol = 3, nrow = 0))
x <- c("name", "age", "gender")
colnames(df) <- x

To do all these operations in one-liner:

setNames(data.frame(matrix(ncol = 3, nrow = 0)), c("name", "age", "gender"))

#[1] name   age    gender
#<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

Or

data.frame(matrix(ncol=3,nrow=0, dimnames=list(NULL, c("name", "age", "gender"))))

What is the simplest jQuery way to have a 'position:fixed' (always at top) div?

For those browsers that do support "position: fixed" you can simply use javascript (jQuery) to change the position to "fixed" when scrolling. This eliminates the jumpiness when scrolling with the $(window).scroll(function()) solutions listed here.

Ben Nadel demonstrates this in his tutorial: Creating A Sometimes-Fixed-Position Element With jQuery

Parse JSON in C#

[Update]
I've just realized why you weren't receiving results back... you have a missing line in your Deserialize method. You were forgetting to assign the results to your obj :

public static T Deserialize<T>(string json)
{
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json)))
    {
        DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
        return (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms);
    } 
}

Also, just for reference, here is the Serialize method :

public static string Serialize<T>(T obj)
{
    DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        serializer.WriteObject(ms, obj);
        return Encoding.Default.GetString(ms.ToArray());
    }
}

Edit

If you want to use Json.NET here are the equivalent Serialize/Deserialize methods to the code above..

Deserialize:

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(string json);

Serialize:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(object o);

This are already part of Json.NET so you can just call them on the JsonConvert class.

Link: Serializing and Deserializing JSON with Json.NET



Now, the reason you're getting a StackOverflow is because of your Properties.

Take for example this one :

[DataMember]
public string unescapedUrl
{
    get { return unescapedUrl; } // <= this line is causing a Stack Overflow
    set { this.unescapedUrl = value; }
}

Notice that in the getter, you are returning the actual property (ie the property's getter is calling itself over and over again), and thus you are creating an infinite recursion.


Properties (in 2.0) should be defined like such :

string _unescapedUrl; // <= private field

[DataMember]
public string unescapedUrl
{
    get { return _unescapedUrl; } 
    set { _unescapedUrl = value; }
}

You have a private field and then you return the value of that field in the getter, and set the value of that field in the setter.


Btw, if you're using the 3.5 Framework, you can just do this and avoid the backing fields, and let the compiler take care of that :

public string unescapedUrl { get; set;}

What causes HttpHostConnectException?

A "connection refused" error happens when you attempt to open a TCP connection to an IP address / port where there is nothing currently listening for connections. If nothing is listening, the OS on the server side "refuses" the connection.

If this is happening intermittently, then the most likely explanations are (IMO):

  • the server you are talking ("proxy.xyz.com" / port 60) to is going up and down, OR
  • there is something1 between your client and the proxy that is intermittently sending requests to a non-functioning host, or something.

Is this possible that this exception is caused when a search request is made from Android applications as our website don't support a request is being made from android applications.

It seems unlikely. You said that the "connection refused" exception message says that it is the proxy that is refusing the connection, not your server. Besides if a server was going to not handle certain kinds of request, it still has to accept the TCP connection to find out what the request is ... before it can reject it.


1 - For example, it could be a DNS that round-robin resolves the DNS name to different IP addresses. Or it could be an IP-based load balancer.

Cannot ignore .idea/workspace.xml - keeps popping up

In the same dir where you see the file appear do:

  • git rm -f .idea/workspace.xml (as suggested by chris vdp)
  • vi .gitignore
  • i (to edit), add .idea/workspace.xml in one of the lines, Esc, :wq

You should be good now

How to check if a service is running on Android?

In kotlin you can add boolean variable in companion object and check its value from any class you want:

companion object{

}

Change it value when service is created and destroyed

 override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        isRuning = true
    }

override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()
    isRuning = false

CSS Input Type Selectors - Possible to have an "or" or "not" syntax?

How to get all child inputs of a div element (jQuery)

You need

var i = $("#panel input"); 

or, depending on what exactly you want (see below)

var i = $("#panel :input"); 

the > will restrict to children, you want all descendants.

EDIT: As Nick pointed out, there's a subtle difference between $("#panel input") and $("#panel :input).

The first one will only retrieve elements of type input, that is <input type="...">, but not <textarea>, <button> and <select> elements. Thanks Nick, didn't know this myself and corrected my post accordingly. Left both options, because I guess the OP wasn't aware of that either and -technically- asked for inputs... :-)

How to move a file?

This is what I'm using at the moment:

import os, shutil
path = "/volume1/Users/Transfer/"
moveto = "/volume1/Users/Drive_Transfer/"
files = os.listdir(path)
files.sort()
for f in files:
    src = path+f
    dst = moveto+f
    shutil.move(src,dst)

Now fully functional. Hope this helps you.

Edit:

I've turned this into a function, that accepts a source and destination directory, making the destination folder if it doesn't exist, and moves the files. Also allows for filtering of the src files, for example if you only want to move images, then you use the pattern '*.jpg', by default, it moves everything in the directory

import os, shutil, pathlib, fnmatch

def move_dir(src: str, dst: str, pattern: str = '*'):
    if not os.path.isdir(dst):
        pathlib.Path(dst).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    for f in fnmatch.filter(os.listdir(src), pattern):
        shutil.move(os.path.join(src, f), os.path.join(dst, f))

div with dynamic min-height based on browser window height

It's hard to do this.

There is a min-height: css style, but it doesn't work in all browsers. You can use it, but the biggest problem is that you will need to set it to something like 90% or numbers like that (percents), but the top and bottom divs use fixed pixel sizes, and you won't be able to reconcile them.

 var minHeight = $(window).height() -
                 $('#a').outerHeight(true) -
                 $('#c').outerHeight(true));

if($('#b').height() < minHeight) $('#b').height(minHeight);

I know a and c have fixed heights, but I rather measure them in case they change later.

Also, I am measuring the height of b (I don't want to make is smaller after all), but if there is an image in there that did not load the height can change, so watch out for things like that.

It may be safer to do:

$('#b').prepend('<div style="float: left; width: 1px; height: ' + minHeight + 'px;">&nbsp;</div>');

Which simply adds an element into that div with the correct height - that effectively acts as min-height even for browsers that don't have it. (You may want to add the element into your markup, and then just control the height of it via javascript instead of also adding it that way, that way you can take it into account when designing the layout.)

Can you nest html forms?

Although the question is pretty old and I agree with the @everyone that nesting of form is not allowed in HTML

But this something all might want to see this

where you can hack(I'm calling it a hack since I'm sure this ain't legitimate) html to allow browser to have nested form

<form id="form_one" action="http://apple.com">
  <div>
    <div>
        <form id="form_two" action="/">
            <!-- DUMMY FORM TO ALLOW BROWSER TO ACCEPT NESTED FORM -->
      </form>
    </div>
      <br/>
    <div>
      <form id="form_three" action="http://www.linuxtopia.org/">
          <input type='submit' value='LINUX TOPIA'/>
      </form>
    </div>
      <br/>

Filter Java Stream to 1 and only 1 element

We can use RxJava (very powerful reactive extension library)

LinkedList<User> users = new LinkedList<>();
users.add(new User(1, "User1"));
users.add(new User(2, "User2"));
users.add(new User(3, "User3"));

User userFound =  Observable.from(users)
                  .filter((user) -> user.getId() == 1)
                  .single().toBlocking().first();

The single operator throws an exception if no user or more then one user is found.

java.util.Date format SSSSSS: if not microseconds what are the last 3 digits?

I used yet another trick to format date with 6-digit precision (microseconds):

System.out.println(
    new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.").format(microseconds/1000)
    +String.format("%06d", microseconds%1000000));

This technique can be extended further, to nanoseconds and up.

        //Using the static toString method of the Byte class
        System.out.println(Byte.toString(b));

        //Using simple concatenation with an empty String
        System.out.println(b + "");

        //Creating a byte array and passing it to the String constructor
        System.out.println(new String(new byte[] {b}));

    }

      $bodyMessage=imap_fetchbody($imap,$count,1);
print '<br>bodyMessage ='.$bodyMessage.'<br><br>';
    }  //for ($count=1; $count<$fixMessages; $count++)
  }  //if($imap)
  imap_close($imap);
?>

This outputs the following:

$objectOverview: Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [subject] => Hello

objectSubject =Hello
objectDate =Sun, 16 Jul 2017 20:23:18 +0100
bodyMessage =Test 

Having struggled with various suggestions I have used trial & error to come up with this solution. Hope it helps.

How to unpackage and repackage a WAR file

Adapting from the above answers, this works for Tomcat, but can be adapted for JBoss as well or any container:

sudo -u tomcat /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
cd /opt/tomcat/webapps
sudo mkdir tmp; cd tmp
sudo jar -xvf ../myapp.war
#make edits...
sudo vi WEB-INF/classes/templates/fragments/header.html
sudo vi WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
#end of making edits
sudo jar -cvf myapp0.0.1.war *
sudo cp myapp0.0.1.war ..
cd ..
sudo chown tomcat:tomcat myapp0.0.1.war
sudo rm -rf tmp
sudo -u tomcat /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

Loop through an array php

Using foreach loop without key

foreach($array as $item) {
    echo $item['filename'];
    echo $item['filepath'];

    // to know what's in $item
    echo '<pre>'; var_dump($item);
}

Using foreach loop with key

foreach($array as $i => $item) {
    echo $item[$i]['filename'];
    echo $item[$i]['filepath'];

    // $array[$i] is same as $item
}

Using for loop

for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
    echo $array[$i]['filename'];
    echo $array[$i]['filepath'];
}

var_dump is a really useful function to get a snapshot of an array or object.

Web.Config Debug/Release

The web.config transforms that are part of Visual Studio 2010 use XSLT in order to "transform" the current web.config file into its .Debug or .Release version.

In your .Debug/.Release files, you need to add the following parameter in your connection string fields:

xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"

This will cause each connection string line to find the matching name and update the attributes accordingly.

Note: You won't have to worry about updating your providerName parameter in the transform files, since they don't change.

Here's an example from one of my apps. Here's the web.config file section:

<connectionStrings>
      <add name="EAF" connectionString="[Test Connection String]" />
</connectionString>

And here's the web.config.release section doing the proper transform:

<connectionStrings>
      <add name="EAF" connectionString="[Prod Connection String]"
           xdt:Transform="SetAttributes"
           xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
</connectionStrings>

One added note: Transforms only occur when you publish the site, not when you simply run it with F5 or CTRL+F5. If you need to run an update against a given config locally, you will have to manually change your Web.config file for this.

For more details you can see the MSDN documentation

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465326(VS.100).aspx

how to emulate "insert ignore" and "on duplicate key update" (sql merge) with postgresql?

As @hanmari mentioned in his comment. when inserting into a postgres tables, the on conflict (..) do nothing is the best code to use for not inserting duplicate data.:

query = "INSERT INTO db_table_name(column_name)
         VALUES(%s) ON CONFLICT (column_name) DO NOTHING;"

The ON CONFLICT line of code will allow the insert statement to still insert rows of data. The query and values code is an example of inserted date from a Excel into a postgres db table. I have constraints added to a postgres table I use to make sure the ID field is unique. Instead of running a delete on rows of data that is the same, I add a line of sql code that renumbers the ID column starting at 1. Example:

q = 'ALTER id_column serial RESTART WITH 1'

If my data has an ID field, I do not use this as the primary ID/serial ID, I create a ID column and I set it to serial. I hope this information is helpful to everyone. *I have no college degree in software development/coding. Everything I know in coding, I study on my own.

How to unmount a busy device

Niche Answer:

If you have a zfs pool on that device, at least when it's a file-based pool, lsof will not show the usage. But you can simply run

sudo zpool export mypoo

and then unmount.

How do I resolve git saying "Commit your changes or stash them before you can merge"?

You can't merge with local modifications. Git protects you from losing potentially important changes.

You have three options:

  • Commit the change using

    git commit -m "My message"
    
  • Stash it.

    Stashing acts as a stack, where you can push changes, and you pop them in reverse order.

    To stash, type

    git stash
    

    Do the merge, and then pull the stash:

    git stash pop
    
  • Discard the local changes

    using git reset --hard
    or git checkout -t -f remote/branch

    Or: Discard local changes for a specific file

    using git checkout filename

POST unchecked HTML checkboxes

"I've got a load of checkboxes that are by default checked" - this is how I solved my problem:

  1. if(($C1)OR($C2)OR... ($C18)){echo "some are checked!";} else{$C1='set';$C2='set';$C3='set';$C4='set';$C5='set';$C6='set';$C7='set';$C8='set';$C9='set';$C10='set';$C11='set';$C12='set';$C13='set';$C14='set';$C15='set';$C16='set';$C17='set';$C18='set';} //(if all are unchecked - set them to 'check' since its your default)
  2. the above line will execute the echo if some are unchecked
  3. but the checked ones will still have the value parameter set
  4. therefore, to keep them set, when writing them in the form, use if($C1){echo "checked";}
  5. use the values in the further logic...

!!! limitation of this method: you can not uncheck everything - they will all get back checked

javascript filter array of objects

The most straightforward and readable approach will be the usage of native javascript filter method.

Native javaScript filter takes a declarative approach in filtering array elements. Since it is a method defined on Array.prototype, it iterates on a provided array and invokes a callback on it. This callback, which acts as our filtering function, takes three parameters:

element — the current item in the array being iterated over

index — the index or location of the current element in the array that is being iterated over

array — the original array that the filter method was applied on Let’s use this filter method in an example. Note that the filter can be applied on any sort of array. In this example, we are going to filter an array of objects based on an object property.

An example of filtering an array of objects based on object properties could look something like this:

// Please do not hate me for bashing on pizza and burgers.
// and FYI, I totally made up the healthMetric param :)
let foods = [
  { type: "pizza", healthMetric: 25 },
  { type: "burger", healthMetric: 10 },
  { type: "salad", healthMetric: 60 },
  { type: "apple", healthMetric: 82 }
];
let isHealthy = food => food.healthMetric >= 50;

const result = foods.filter(isHealthy);

console.log(result.map(food => food.type));
// Result: ['salad', 'apple']

What is the role of "Flatten" in Keras?

If you read the Keras documentation entry for Dense, you will see that this call:

Dense(16, input_shape=(5,3))

would result in a Dense network with 3 inputs and 16 outputs which would be applied independently for each of 5 steps. So, if D(x) transforms 3 dimensional vector to 16-d vector, what you'll get as output from your layer would be a sequence of vectors: [D(x[0,:]), D(x[1,:]),..., D(x[4,:])] with shape (5, 16). In order to have the behavior you specify you may first Flatten your input to a 15-d vector and then apply Dense:

model = Sequential()
model.add(Flatten(input_shape=(3, 2)))
model.add(Dense(16))
model.add(Activation('relu'))
model.add(Dense(4))
model.compile(loss='mean_squared_error', optimizer='SGD')

How to draw an empty plot?

You need a new plot window, and also a coordinate system, so you need plot.new() and plot.window(), then you can start to add graph elements:

plot.new( )
plot.window( xlim=c(-5,5), ylim=c(-5,5) )

points( rnorm(100), rnorm(100) )
axis( side=1 )

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver

I was getting the same error on my Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux 4.14 kernel) in Google Compute Engine with K80 GPU. I upgraded the kernel to 4.15 from 4.14 and boom the problem was solved. Here is how I upgraded my Linux kernel from 4.14 to 4.15:

Step 1:
Check the existing kernel of your Ubuntu Linux:

uname -a

Step 2:

Ubuntu maintains a website for all the versions of kernel that have 
been released. At the time of this writing, the latest stable release 
of Ubuntu kernel is 4.15. If you go to this 
link: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15/, you will 
see several links for download.

Step 3:

Download the appropriate files based on the type of OS you have. For 64 
bit, I would download the following deb files:

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15/linux-headers-
4.15.0-041500_4.15.0-041500.201802011154_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15/linux-headers-
4.15.0-041500-generic_4.15.0-041500.201802011154_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15/linux-image-
4.15.0-041500-generic_4.15.0-041500.201802011154_amd64.deb

Step 4:

Install all the downloaded deb files:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Step 5:
Reboot your machine and check if the kernel has been updated by:
uname -a

You should see that your kernel has been upgraded and hopefully nvidia-smi should work.

Formatting NSDate into particular styles for both year, month, day, and hour, minute, seconds

you can use this method just pass your date to it

-(NSString *)getDateFromString:(NSString *)string
{

    NSString * dateString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@",string];

    NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"your current date format"];
    NSDate* myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];

    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setDateFormat:@"your desired format"];
    NSString *stringFromDate = [formatter stringFromDate:myDate];

    NSLog(@"%@", stringFromDate);
    return stringFromDate;
}

How to send control+c from a bash script?

ctrl+c and kill -INT <pid> are not exactly the same, to emulate ctrl+c we need to first understand the difference.

kill -INT <pid> will send the INT signal to a given process (found with its pid).

ctrl+c is mapped to the intr special character which when received by the terminal should send INT to the foreground process group of that terminal. You can emulate that by targetting the group of your given <pid>. It can be done by prepending a - before the signal in the kill command. Hence the command you want is:

kill -INT -<pid>

You can test it pretty easily with a script:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

fork {
    trap(:INT) {
        puts 'signal received in child!'
        exit
    }
    sleep 1_000
}

puts "run `kill -INT -#{Process.pid}` in any other terminal window."
Process.wait

Postgres manually alter sequence

This syntax isn't valid in any version of PostgreSQL:

ALTER SEQUENCE payments_id_seq LASTVALUE 22

This would work:

ALTER SEQUENCE payments_id_seq RESTART WITH 22;

And is equivalent to:

SELECT setval('payments_id_seq', 22, FALSE);

More in the current manual for ALTER SEQUENCE and sequence functions.

Note that setval() expects either (regclass, bigint) or (regclass, bigint, boolean). In the above example I am providing untyped literals. That works too. But if you feed typed variables to the function you may need explicit type casts to satisfy function type resolution. Like:

SELECT setval(my_text_variable::regclass, my_other_variable::bigint, FALSE);

For repeated operations you might be interested in:

ALTER SEQUENCE payments_id_seq START WITH 22; -- set default
ALTER SEQUENCE payments_id_seq RESTART;       -- without value

START [WITH] stores a default RESTART number, which is used for subsequent RESTART calls without value. You need Postgres 8.4 or later for the last part.

How to Customize the time format for Python logging?

Using logging.basicConfig, the following example works for me:

logging.basicConfig(
    filename='HISTORYlistener.log',
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='%(asctime)s.%(msecs)03d %(levelname)s %(module)s - %(funcName)s: %(message)s',
    datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
)

This allows you to format & config all in one line. A resulting log record looks as follows:

2014-05-26 12:22:52.376 CRITICAL historylistener - main: History log failed to start

Android SDK location

If you can run the "sdkmanager" from the command line, then running sdkmanager --verbose --list will reveal the paths it checks.

For example, I have installed the SDK in c:\spool\Android and for me running the sdkmanager --verbose --list looks like:

enter image description here

>sdkmanager --list --verbose

while the same in hive can be achieved by chaining together nvl as

nvl(email,nvl(phonenumber,nvl(address,'n/a')))

What is the difference between Nexus and Maven?

Whatever I understood from my learning and what I think it is is here. I am Quoting some part from a book i learnt this things. Nexus Repository Manager and Nexus Repository Manager OSS started as a repository manager supporting the Maven repository format. While it supports many other repository formats now, the Maven repository format is still the most common and well supported format for build and provisioning tools running on the JVM and beyond. This chapter shows example configurations for using the repository manager with Apache Maven and a number of other tools. The setups take advantage of merging many repositories and exposing them via a repository group. Setting this up is documented in the chapter in addition to the configuration used by specific tools.

What is the difference between a hash join and a merge join (Oracle RDBMS )?

I just want to edit this for posterity that the tags for oracle weren't added when I answered this question. My response was more applicable to MS SQL.

Merge join is the best possible as it exploits the ordering, resulting in a single pass down the tables to do the join. IF you have two tables (or covering indexes) that have their ordering the same such as a primary key and an index of a table on that key then a merge join would result if you performed that action.

Hash join is the next best, as it's usually done when one table has a small number (relatively) of items, its effectively creating a temp table with hashes for each row which is then searched continuously to create the join.

Worst case is nested loop which is order (n * m) which means there is no ordering or size to exploit and the join is simply, for each row in table x, search table y for joins to do.

Using SSIS BIDS with Visual Studio 2012 / 2013

Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.

There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.

There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are

None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals

Maximum call stack size exceeded on npm install

In case none of these answer work for you, it may be because the terminal you're using isn't the right one/ your node_modules is used by another part of your computer.

In my case I kept juggling between this error (maximum call stack size exceeded) and the access error event when I did a sudo npm i.

The fix was to close my IDE (which was WebStorm), run npm i in a basic terminal, and that was it.

How to use querySelectorAll only for elements that have a specific attribute set?

With your example:

<input type="checkbox" id="c2" name="c2" value="DE039230952"/>

Replace $$ with document.querySelectorAll in the examples:

$$('input') //Every input
$$('[id]') //Every element with id
$$('[id="c2"]') //Every element with id="c2"
$$('input,[id]') //Every input + every element with id
$$('input[id]') //Every input including id
$$('input[id="c2"]') //Every input including id="c2"
$$('input#c2') //Every input including id="c2" (same as above)
$$('input#c2[value="DE039230952"]') //Every input including id="c2" and value="DE039230952"
$$('input#c2[value^="DE039"]') //Every input including id="c2" and value has content starting with DE039
$$('input#c2[value$="0952"]') //Every input including id="c2" and value has content ending with 0952
$$('input#c2[value*="39230"]') //Every input including id="c2" and value has content including 39230

Use the examples directly with:

const $$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

Some additions:

$$(.) //The same as $([class])
$$(div > input) //div is parent tag to input
document.querySelector() //equals to $$()[0] or $()

        String code = parseCode(message);//Parse verification code
        etCode.setText(code);//set code in edit text
        //then you can send verification code to server
    }
});

Also, override activity lifecicle methods:

Generate class from database table

If you have access to SQL Server 2016, you can use the FOR JSON (with INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES) option to get JSON output from a select statement. Copy the output, then in Visual Studio, paste special -> paste JSON as class.

Kind of a budget solution, but might save some time.

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

In my case I got this error because I downloaded a thread-safe version of the dll (infixed with -ts-), but my php installation of php was a non-thread-safe (infixed with -nts-). Downloading the right version of the dll, exactly matching my php installation version fixed the issue.

Which port(s) does XMPP use?

The official ports (TCP:5222 and TCP:5269) are listed in RFC 6120. Contrary to the claims of a previous answer, XEP-0174 does not specify a port. Thus TCP:5298 might be customary for Link-Local XMPP, but is not official.

You can use other ports than the reserved ones, though: You can make your DNS SRV record point to any machine and port you like.

File transfers (XEP-0234) are these days handled using Jingle (XEP-0166). The same goes for RTP sessions (XEP-0167). They do not specify ports, though, since Jingle negotiates the creation of the data stream between the XMPP clients, but the actual data is then transferred by other means (e.g. RTP) through that stream (i.e. not usually through the XMPP server, even though in-band transfers are possible). Beware that Jingle is comprised of several XEPs, so make sure to have a look at the whole list of XMPP extensions.

Checking that a List is not empty in Hamcrest

This is fixed in Hamcrest 1.3. The below code compiles and does not generate any warnings:

// given
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
// then
assertThat(list, is(not(empty())));

But if you have to use older version - instead of bugged empty() you could use:

hasSize(greaterThan(0))
(import static org.hamcrest.number.OrderingComparison.greaterThan; or
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.greaterThan;)

Example:

// given
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
// then
assertThat(list, hasSize(greaterThan(0)));

The most important thing about above solutions is that it does not generate any warnings. The second solution is even more useful if you would like to estimate minimum result size.

How can I get the assembly file version

UPDATE: As mentioned by Richard Grimes in my cited post, @Iain and @Dmitry Lobanov, my answer is right in theory but wrong in practice.

As I should have remembered from countless books, etc., while one sets these properties using the [assembly: XXXAttribute], they get highjacked by the compiler and placed into the VERSIONINFO resource.

For the above reason, you need to use the approach in @Xiaofu's answer as the attributes are stripped after the signal has been extracted from them.


public static string GetProductVersion()
{
  var attribute = (AssemblyVersionAttribute)Assembly
    .GetExecutingAssembly()
    .GetCustomAttributes( typeof(AssemblyVersionAttribute), true )
    .Single();
   return attribute.InformationalVersion;
}

(From http://bytes.com/groups/net/420417-assemblyversionattribute - as noted there, if you're looking for a different attribute, substitute that into the above)

Really killing a process in Windows

taskkill /im myprocess.exe /f

The "/f" is for "force". If you know the PID, then you can specify that, as in:

taskkill /pid 1234 /f

Lots of other options are possible, just type taskkill /? for all of them. The "/t" option kills a process and any child processes; that may be useful to you.

Are PHP Variables passed by value or by reference?

Variables containing primitive types are passed by value in PHP5. Variables containing objects are passed by reference. There's quite an interesting article from Linux Journal from 2006 which mentions this and other OO differences between 4 and 5.

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9170

filter items in a python dictionary where keys contain a specific string

input = {"A":"a", "B":"b", "C":"c"}
output = {k:v for (k,v) in input.items() if key_satifies_condition(k)}

Does reading an entire file leave the file handle open?

You can use pathlib.

For Python 3.5 and above:

from pathlib import Path
contents = Path(file_path).read_text()

For older versions of Python use pathlib2:

$ pip install pathlib2

Then:

from pathlib2 import Path
contents = Path(file_path).read_text()

This is the actual read_text implementation:

def read_text(self, encoding=None, errors=None):
    """
    Open the file in text mode, read it, and close the file.
    """
    with self.open(mode='r', encoding=encoding, errors=errors) as f:
        return f.read()

Entity Framework vs LINQ to SQL

I think if you need to develop something quick with no Strange things in the middle, and you need the facility to have entities representing your tables:

Linq2Sql can be a good allied, using it with LinQ unleashes a great developing timing.

How can I replace every occurrence of a String in a file with PowerShell?

You could try something like this:

$path = "C:\testFile.txt"
$word = "searchword"
$replacement = "ReplacementText"
$text = get-content $path 
$newText = $text -replace $word,$replacement
$newText > $path

A array solution

Using @property versus getters and setters

Prefer properties. It's what they're there for.

The reason is that all attributes are public in Python. Starting names with an underscore or two is just a warning that the given attribute is an implementation detail that may not stay the same in future versions of the code. It doesn't prevent you from actually getting or setting that attribute. Therefore, standard attribute access is the normal, Pythonic way of, well, accessing attributes.

The advantage of properties is that they are syntactically identical to attribute access, so you can change from one to another without any changes to client code. You could even have one version of a class that uses properties (say, for code-by-contract or debugging) and one that doesn't for production, without changing the code that uses it. At the same time, you don't have to write getters and setters for everything just in case you might need to better control access later.

appending array to FormData and send via AJAX

Based on @YackY answer shorter recursion version:

function createFormData(formData, key, data) {
    if (data === Object(data) || Array.isArray(data)) {
        for (var i in data) {
            createFormData(formData, key + '[' + i + ']', data[i]);
        }
    } else {
        formData.append(key, data);
    }
}

Usage example:

var data = {a: '1', b: 2, c: {d: '3'}};
var formData = new FormData();
createFormData(formData, 'data', data);

Sent data:

data[a]=1&
data[b]=2&
data[c][d]=3

How to use the read command in Bash?

I really only use read with "while" and a do loop:

echo "This is NOT a test." | while read -r a b c theRest; do  
echo "$a" "$b" "$theRest"; done  

This is a test.
For what it's worth, I have seen the recommendation to always use -r with the read command in bash.

How do I start Mongo DB from Windows?

Actually windows way to use service, from the official documentation:

  • Find out where is your executable is installed, path may be like this:

    "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe"

  • Create config file with such content (yaml format), path may be like this:

    "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\mongod.cfg"

systemLog:
    destination: file
    path: c:\data\log\mongod.log
storage:
    dbPath: c:\data\db
  • Execute as admin the next command (run command line as admin):
C:\...\mongod.exe --config C:\...\mongod.cfg --install

Where paths is reduced with dots, see above.

The key --install say to mongo to install itself as windows service.

Now you can start, stop, restart mongo server as usual windows service choose your favorite way from this:

  • from Control Panel -> Administration -> Services -> MongoDB
  • by command execution from command line as admin: (net start MongoDB)

Check log file specified in config file if any problems.

Android SDK installation doesn't find JDK

I spent a little over an hour trying just about every option presented. I eventually figured out that I had a lot of stale entries for software that I had uninstalled. I deleted all the registry nodes that had any stale data (pointed to the wrong directory). This included the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]

entries as a JRE included in the JDK.

I also got rid of all the JAVA entries in my environmental variables. I guess I blame it on bad uninstallers that do not clean up after themselves.

Concatenate text files with Windows command line, dropping leading lines

Use the FOR command to echo a file line by line, and with the 'skip' option to miss a number of starting lines...

FOR /F "skip=1" %i in (file2.txt) do @echo %i

You could redirect the output of a batch file, containing something like...

FOR /F %%i in (file1.txt) do @echo %%i
FOR /F "skip=1" %%i in (file2.txt) do @echo %%i

Note the double % when a FOR variable is used within a batch file.

Apache 2.4 - Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error

You're getting into looping most likely due to these rules:

RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]

Just comment it out and try again in a new browser.

mkdir's "-p" option

mkdir [-switch] foldername

-p is a switch which is optional, it will create subfolder and parent folder as well even parent folder doesn't exist.

From the man page:

-p, --parents no error if existing, make parent directories as needed

Example:

mkdir -p storage/framework/{sessions,views,cache}

This will create subfolder sessions,views,cache inside framework folder irrespective of 'framework' was available earlier or not.

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method fxn(int) from the type Two

  1. A static method can NOT access a Non-static method or variable.

  2. public static void main(String[] args) is a static method, so can NOT access the Non-static public static int fxn(int y) method.

  3. Try it this way...

    static int fxn(int y)

    public class Two {
    
    
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            int x = 0;
    
            System.out.println("x = " + x);
            x = fxn(x);
            System.out.println("x = " + x);
        }
    
        static int fxn(int y) {
            y = 5;
            return y;
        }
    

    }

How do you get the magnitude of a vector in Numpy?

If you are worried at all about speed, you should instead use:

mag = np.sqrt(x.dot(x))

Here are some benchmarks:

>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('np.linalg.norm(x)', setup='import numpy as np; x = np.arange(100)', number=1000)
0.0450878
>>> timeit.timeit('np.sqrt(x.dot(x))', setup='import numpy as np; x = np.arange(100)', number=1000)
0.0181372

EDIT: The real speed improvement comes when you have to take the norm of many vectors. Using pure numpy functions doesn't require any for loops. For example:

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: a = np.arange(1200.0).reshape((-1,3))

In [3]: %timeit [np.linalg.norm(x) for x in a]
100 loops, best of 3: 4.23 ms per loop

In [4]: %timeit np.sqrt((a*a).sum(axis=1))
100000 loops, best of 3: 18.9 us per loop

In [5]: np.allclose([np.linalg.norm(x) for x in a],np.sqrt((a*a).sum(axis=1)))
Out[5]: True

How to include PHP files that require an absolute path?

I found this to work very well!

function findRoot() { 
    return(substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], 0, (stripos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"])+1)));
}

Use:

<?php

function findRoot() {
    return(substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], 0, (stripos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"])+1)));
}

include(findRoot() . 'Post.php');
$posts = getPosts(findRoot() . 'posts_content');

include(findRoot() . 'includes/head.php');

for ($i=(sizeof($posts)-1); 0 <= $i; $i--) {
    $posts[$i]->displayArticle();
}

include(findRoot() . 'includes/footer.php');

?>

Socket send and receive byte array

There is a JDK socket tutorial here, which covers both the server and client end. That looks exactly like what you want.

(from that tutorial) This sets up to read from an echo server:

    echoSocket = new Socket("taranis", 7);
    out = new PrintWriter(echoSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
    in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                                echoSocket.getInputStream()));

taking a stream of bytes and converts to strings via the reader and using a default encoding (not advisable, normally).

Error handling and closing sockets/streams omitted from the above, but check the tutorial.

Loop through columns and add string lengths as new columns

You need to use [[, the programmatic equivalent of $. Otherwise, for example, when i is col1, R will look for df$i instead of df$col1.

for(i in names(df)){
  df[[paste(i, 'length', sep="_")]] <- str_length(df[[i]])
}

How to select an option from drop down using Selenium WebDriver C#?

If you are looking for just any selection from the drop-down box, I also find "select by index" method very useful.

if (IsElementPresent(By.XPath("//select[@id='Q43_0']")))
{
    new SelectElement(driver.FindElement(By.Id("Q43_0")))**.SelectByIndex(1);** // This is selecting first value of the drop-down list
    WaitForAjax();
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
}
else
{
     Console.WriteLine("Your comment here);

Simulating Key Press C#

The easiest way to send (simulate) KeyStrokes to any window is to use the SendKeys.Send method of .NET Framework.

Checkout this very intuitive MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.aspx


Particularly for your case, if your browser window is in focus, sending F5 would just involve the following line of code:

SendKeys.Send("{F5}");

Ignore mapping one property with Automapper

When mapping a view model back to a domain model, it can be much cleaner to simply validate the source member list rather than the destination member list

Mapper.CreateMap<OrderModel, Orders>(MemberList.Source); 

Now my mapping validation doesn't fail, requiring another Ignore(), every time I add a property to my domain class.

How to replace all occurrences of a string in Javascript?

This should work.

String.prototype.replaceAll = function (search, replacement) {
    var str1 = this.replace(search, replacement);
    var str2 = this;
    while(str1 != str2) {
        str2 = str1;
        str1 = str1.replace(search, replacement);
    }
    return str1;
}

Example:

Console.log("Steve is the best character in Minecraft".replaceAll("Steve", "Alex"));

How to use a jQuery plugin inside Vue

You need to use either the globals loader or expose loader to ensure that webpack includes the jQuery lib in your source code output and so that it doesn't throw errors when your use $ in your components.

// example with expose loader:
npm i --save-dev expose-loader

// somewhere, import (require) this jquery, but pipe it through the expose loader
require('expose?$!expose?jQuery!jquery')

If you prefer, you can import (require) it directly within your webpack config as a point of entry, so I understand, but I don't have an example of this to hand

Alternatively, you can use the globals loader like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/globals-loader

How to run python script in webpage

With your current requirement this would work :

    def start_html():
        return '<html>'

    def end_html():
        return '</html>'

    def print_html(text):
        text = str(text)
        text = text.replace('\n', '<br>')
        return '<p>' + str(text) + '</p>'
if __name__ == '__main__':
        webpage_data =  start_html()
        webpage_data += print_html("Hi Welcome to Python test page\n")
        webpage_data += fd.write(print_html("Now it will show a calculation"))
        webpage_data += print_html("30+2=")
        webpage_data += print_html(30+2)
        webpage_data += end_html()
        with open('index.html', 'w') as fd: fd.write(webpage_data)

open the index.html and you will see what you want

How to change the size of the radio button using CSS?

Resizing the default widget doesn’t work in all browsers, but you can make custom radio buttons with JavaScript. One of the ways is to create hidden radio buttons and then place your own images on your page. Clicking on these images changes the images (replaces the clicked image with an image with a radio button in a selected state and replaces the other images with radio buttons in an unselected state) and selects the new radio button.

Anyway, there is documentation on this subject. For example, read this: Styling Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with CSS and JavaScript.

upstream in the github example is just the name they've chosen to refer to that repository. You may choose any that you like when using git remote add. Depending on what you select for this name, your git pull usage will change. For example, if you use:

git remote add upstream git://github.com/somename/original-project.git

then you would use this to pull changes:

git pull upstream master

But, if you choose origin for the name of the remote repo, your commands would be:

To name the remote repo in your local config: git remote add origin git://github.com/somename/original-project.git

And to pull: git pull origin master

anchor jumping by using javascript

I think it is much more simple solution:

window.location = (""+window.location).replace(/#[A-Za-z0-9_]*$/,'')+"#myAnchor"

This method does not reload the website, and sets the focus on the anchors which are needed for screen reader.

execute function after complete page load

You're best bet as far as I know is to use

window.addEventListener('load', function() {
    console.log('All assets loaded')
});

The #1 answer of using the DOMContentLoaded event is a step backwards since the DOM will load before all assets load.

Other answers recommend setTimeout which I would strongly oppose since it is completely subjective to the client's device performance and network connection speed. If someone is on a slow network and/or has a slow cpu, a page could take several to dozens of seconds to load, thus you could not predict how much time setTimeout will need.

As for readystatechange, it fires whenever readyState changes which according to MDN will still be before the load event.

Complete

The state indicates that the load event is about to fire.

How do I view the SQLite database on an Android device?

UPDATE 2020

Database Inspector (for Android Studio version 4.1). Read the Medium article

For older versions of Android Studio I recommend these 3 options:

  1. Facebook's open source [Stetho library] (http://facebook.github.io/stetho/). Taken from here

In build.gradle:

dependencies {
  // Stetho core
  compile 'com.facebook.stetho:stetho:1.5.1'        
  //If you want to add a network helper
  compile 'com.facebook.stetho:stetho-okhttp:1.5.1'
}

Initialize the library in the application object:

Stetho.initializeWithDefaults(this);

And you can view you database in Chrome from chrome://inspect

  1. Another option is this plugin (not free)
  2. And the last one is this free/open source library to see db contents in the browser https://github.com/amitshekhariitbhu/Android-Debug-Database

What do \t and \b do?

The C standard (actually C99, I'm not up to date) says:

Alphabetic escape sequences representing nongraphic characters in the execution character set are intended to produce actions on display devices as follows:

\b (backspace) Moves the active position to the previous position on the current line. [...]

\t (horizontal tab) Moves the active position to the next horizontal tabulation position on the current line. [...]

Both just move the active position, neither are supposed to write any character on or over another character. To overwrite with a space you could try: puts("foo\b \tbar"); but note that on some display devices - say a daisy wheel printer - the o will show the transparent space.

How do I set the request timeout for one controller action in an asp.net mvc application

<location path="ControllerName/ActionName">
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="1000"/>
    </system.web>
</location>

Probably it is better to set such values in web.config instead of controller. Hardcoding of configurable options is considered harmful.

Is there a java setting for disabling certificate validation?

Use cli utility keytool from java software distribution for import (and trust!) needed certificates

Sample:

  1. From cli change dir to jre\bin

  2. Check keystore (file found in jre\bin directory)
    keytool -list -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts
    Enter keystore password: changeit

  3. Download and save all certificates chain from needed server.

  4. Add certificates (before need to remove "read-only" attribute on file "..\lib\security\cacerts") keytool -alias REPLACE_TO_ANY_UNIQ_NAME -import -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts -file "r:\root.crt"

accidentally I found such a simple tip. Other solutions require the use of InstallCert.Java and JDK
