Pure CSS collapse/expand div

@gbtimmon's answer is great, but way, way too complicated. I've simplified his code as much as I could.

#hide:target + #show,
#hide:target ~ #answer {

BeautifulSoup getting href

You can use find_all in the following way to find every a element that has an href attribute, and print each one:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

html = '''<a href="some_url">next</a>
<span class="class"><a href="another_url">later</a></span>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True):
    print "Found the URL:", a['href']

The output would be:

Found the URL: some_url
Found the URL: another_url

Note that if you're using an older version of BeautifulSoup (before version 4) the name of this method is findAll. In version 4, BeautifulSoup's method names were changed to be PEP 8 compliant, so you should use find_all instead.


If you want all tags with an href, you can omit the name parameter:

href_tags = soup.find_all(href=True)

IndexOf function in T-SQL

One very small nit to pick:

The RFC for email addresses allows the first part to include an "@" sign if it is quoted. Example:

"john@work"@myemployer.com

This is quite uncommon, but could happen. Theoretically, you should split on the last "@" symbol, not the first:

SELECT LEN(EmailField) - CHARINDEX('@', REVERSE(EmailField)) + 1

How to add title to subplots in Matplotlib?

ax.title.set_text('My Plot Title') seems to work too.

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(221)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(222)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(223)
ax4 = fig.add_subplot(224)
ax1.title.set_text('First Plot')
ax2.title.set_text('Second Plot')
ax3.title.set_text('Third Plot')
ax4.title.set_text('Fourth Plot')
plt.show()

Dynamic require in RequireJS, getting "Module name has not been loaded yet for context" error?

Answering to myself. From the RequireJS website:

//THIS WILL FAIL
define(['require'], function (require) {
    var namedModule = require('name');
});

This fails because requirejs needs to be sure to load and execute all dependencies before calling the factory function above. [...] So, either do not pass in the dependency array, or if using the dependency array, list all the dependencies in it.

My solution:

// Modules configuration (modules that will be used as Jade helpers)
define(function () {
    return {
        'moment':   'path/to/moment',
        'filesize': 'path/to/filesize',
        '_':        'path/to/lodash',
        '_s':       'path/to/underscore.string'
    };
});

The loader:

define(['jade', 'lodash', 'config'], function (Jade, _, Config) {
    var deps;

    // Dynamic require
    require(_.values(Config), function () {
        deps = _.object(_.keys(Config), arguments);

        // Use deps...
    });
});

PHP file_get_contents() returns "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!"

You basically are required to send some information with the request.

Try this,

$opts = array('http'=>array('header' => "User-Agent:MyAgent/1.0\r\n")); 
//Basically adding headers to the request
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$html = file_get_contents($url,false,$context);
$html = htmlspecialchars($html);

This worked out for me

WCF on IIS8; *.svc handler mapping doesn't work

On windows 10 (client) you can also script this using

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -NoRestart -FeatureName WCF-HTTP-Activation45 -All

Note that this is a different command from the server skus

The opposite of Intersect()

array1.NonIntersect(array2);

Nonintersect such operator is not present in Linq you should do

except -> union -> except

a.except(b).union(b.Except(a));

Temporarily change current working directory in bash to run a command

Something like this should work:

sh -c 'cd /tmp && exec pwd'

Pandas - Compute z-score for all columns

Using Scipy's zscore function:

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(100, 200, size=(5, 3)), columns=['A', 'B', 'C'])
df

|    |   A |   B |   C |
|---:|----:|----:|----:|
|  0 | 163 | 163 | 159 |
|  1 | 120 | 153 | 181 |
|  2 | 130 | 199 | 108 |
|  3 | 108 | 188 | 157 |
|  4 | 109 | 171 | 119 |

from scipy.stats import zscore
df.apply(zscore)

|    |         A |         B |         C |
|---:|----------:|----------:|----------:|
|  0 |  1.83447  | -0.708023 |  0.523362 |
|  1 | -0.297482 | -1.30804  |  1.3342   |
|  2 |  0.198321 |  1.45205  | -1.35632  |
|  3 | -0.892446 |  0.792025 |  0.449649 |
|  4 | -0.842866 | -0.228007 | -0.950897 |

If not all the columns of your data frame are numeric, then you can apply the Z-score function only to the numeric columns using the select_dtypes function:

# Note that `select_dtypes` returns a data frame. We are selecting only the columns
numeric_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).columns
df[numeric_cols].apply(zscore)

|    |         A |         B |         C |
|---:|----------:|----------:|----------:|
|  0 |  1.83447  | -0.708023 |  0.523362 |
|  1 | -0.297482 | -1.30804  |  1.3342   |
|  2 |  0.198321 |  1.45205  | -1.35632  |
|  3 | -0.892446 |  0.792025 |  0.449649 |
|  4 | -0.842866 | -0.228007 | -0.950897 |

cout is not a member of std

I had a similar issue and it turned out that i had to add an extra entry in cmake to include the files.

Since i was also using the zmq library I had to add this to the included libraries as well.

Getting individual colors from a color map in matplotlib

To build on the solutions from Ffisegydd and amaliammr, here's an example where we make CSV representation for a custom colormap:

#! /usr/bin/env python3
import matplotlib
import numpy as np 

vmin = 0.1
vmax = 1000

norm = matplotlib.colors.Normalize(np.log10(vmin), np.log10(vmax))
lognum = norm(np.log10([.5, 2., 10, 40, 150,1000]))

cdict = {
    'red':
    (
        (0., 0, 0),
        (lognum[0], 0, 0),
        (lognum[1], 0, 0),
        (lognum[2], 1, 1),
        (lognum[3], 0.8, 0.8),
        (lognum[4], .7, .7),
    (lognum[5], .7, .7)
    ),
    'green':
    (
        (0., .6, .6),
        (lognum[0], 0.8, 0.8),
        (lognum[1], 1, 1),
        (lognum[2], 1, 1),
        (lognum[3], 0, 0),
        (lognum[4], 0, 0),
    (lognum[5], 0, 0)
    ),
    'blue':
    (
        (0., 0, 0),
        (lognum[0], 0, 0),
        (lognum[1], 0, 0),
        (lognum[2], 0, 0),
        (lognum[3], 0, 0),
        (lognum[4], 0, 0),
    (lognum[5], 1, 1)
    )
}


mycmap = matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap('my_colormap', cdict, 256)   
norm = matplotlib.colors.LogNorm(vmin, vmax)
colors = {}
count = 0
step_size = 0.001
for value in np.arange(vmin, vmax+step_size, step_size):
    count += 1
    print("%d/%d %f%%" % (count, vmax*(1./step_size), 100.*count/(vmax*(1./step_size))))
    rgba = mycmap(norm(value), bytes=True)
    color = (rgba[0], rgba[1], rgba[2])
    if color not in colors.values():
        colors[value] = color

print ("value, red, green, blue")
for value in sorted(colors.keys()):
    rgb = colors[value]
    print("%s, %s, %s, %s" % (value, rgb[0], rgb[1], rgb[2]))

Difference between mkdir() and mkdirs() in java for java.io.File

mkdirs() will create the specified directory path in its entirety where mkdir() will only create the bottom most directory, failing if it can't find the parent directory of the directory it is trying to create.

In other words mkdir() is like mkdir and mkdirs() is like mkdir -p.

For example, imagine we have an empty /tmp directory. The following code

new File("/tmp/one/two/three").mkdirs();

would create the following directories:

  • /tmp/one
  • /tmp/one/two
  • /tmp/one/two/three

Where this code:

new File("/tmp/one/two/three").mkdir();

would not create any directories - as it wouldn't find /tmp/one/two - and would return false.

How to make Unicode charset in cmd.exe by default?

Open an elevated Command Prompt (run cmd as administrator). query your registry for available TT fonts to the console by:

    REG query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont"

You'll see an output like :

    0    REG_SZ    Lucida Console
    00    REG_SZ    Consolas
    936    REG_SZ    *???
    932    REG_SZ    *MS ????

Now we need to add a TT font that supports the characters you need like Courier New, we do this by adding zeros to the string name, so in this case the next one would be "000" :

    REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont" /v 000 /t REG_SZ /d "Courier New"

Now we implement UTF-8 support:

    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v CodePage /t REG_DWORD /d 65001 /f

Set default font to "Courier New":

    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v FaceName /t REG_SZ /d "Courier New" /f

Set font size to 20 :

    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v FontSize /t REG_DWORD /d 20 /f

Enable quick edit if you like :

    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v QuickEdit /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

How to modify values of JsonObject / JsonArray directly?

Another approach would be to deserialize into a java.util.Map, and then just modify the Java Map as wanted. This separates the Java-side data handling from the data transport mechanism (JSON), which is how I prefer to organize my code: using JSON for data transport, not as a replacement data structure.

How do I use disk caching in Picasso?

I don't know how good that solution is but it is definitely THE EASY ONE i just used in my app and it is working fine

you load the image like that

public void loadImage (){
Picasso picasso = Picasso.get(); 
picasso.setIndicatorsEnabled(true);
picasso.load(quiz.getImageUrl()).into(quizImage);
}

You can get the bimap like that

Bitmap bitmap = Picasso.get().load(quiz.getImageUrl()).get();

Now covert that Bitmap into a JPG file and store in the in the cache, below is complete code for getting the bimap and caching it

Thread thread = new Thread() {
 public void run() {
 File file = new File(getCacheDir() + "/" +member.getMemberId() + ".jpg");

try {
      Bitmap bitmap = Picasso.get().load(uri).get();
      FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);                                        
      bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100,new FileOutputStream(file));
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
    }
catch (Exception e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
    }
   }
};
     thread.start();
  })

the get() method of Piccasso need to be called on separate thread , i am saving that image also on that same thread.

Once the image is saved you can get all the files like that

List<File> files = new LinkedList<>(Arrays.asList(context.getExternalCacheDir().listFiles()));

now you can find the file you are looking for like below

for(File file : files){
                if(file.getName().equals("fileyouarelookingfor" + ".jpg")){ // you need the name of the file, for example you are storing user image and the his image name is same as his id , you can call getId() on user to get the file name
                    Picasso.get() // if file found then load it
                            .load(file)
                            .into(mThumbnailImage);
                    return; // return 
                }
        // fetch it over the internet here because the file is not found
       }

I want to show all tables that have specified column name

its worked...

Is gcc's __attribute__((packed)) / #pragma pack unsafe?

It's perfectly safe as long as you always access the values through the struct via the . (dot) or -> notation.

What's not safe is taking the pointer of unaligned data and then accessing it without taking that into account.

Also, even though each item in the struct is known to be unaligned, it's known to be unaligned in a particular way, so the struct as a whole must be aligned as the compiler expects or there'll be trouble (on some platforms, or in future if a new way is invented to optimise unaligned accesses).

Is there any quick way to get the last two characters in a string?

The existing answers will fail if the string is empty or only has one character. Options:

String substring = str.length() > 2 ? str.substring(str.length() - 2) : str;

or

String substring = str.substring(Math.max(str.length() - 2, 0));

That's assuming that str is non-null, and that if there are fewer than 2 characters, you just want the original string.

CSS center display inline block?

You can also do this with positioning, set parent div to relative and child div to absolute.

.wrapper {
      position: relative;
  }
.childDiv {
      position: absolute;
      left: 50%;
      transform: translateX(-50%);
  }

CSS content property: is it possible to insert HTML instead of Text?

It is not possible prolly cuz it would be so easy to XSS. Also , current HTML sanitizers that are available don't disallow content property.

How to dockerize maven project? and how many ways to accomplish it?

Working example.

This is not a spring boot tutorial. It's the updated answer to a question on how to run a Maven build within a Docker container.

Question originally posted 4 years ago.

1. Generate an application

Use the spring initializer to generate a demo app

https://start.spring.io/

enter image description here

Extract the zip archive locally

2. Create a Dockerfile

#
# Build stage
#
FROM maven:3.6.0-jdk-11-slim AS build
COPY src /home/app/src
COPY pom.xml /home/app
RUN mvn -f /home/app/pom.xml clean package

#
# Package stage
#
FROM openjdk:11-jre-slim
COPY --from=build /home/app/target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/local/lib/demo.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/usr/local/lib/demo.jar"]

Note

  • This example uses a multi-stage build. The first stage is used to build the code. The second stage only contains the built jar and a JRE to run it (note how jar is copied between stages).

3. Build the image

docker build -t demo .

4. Run the image

$ docker run --rm -it demo:latest

Misc

Read the Docker hub documentation on how the Maven build can be optimized to use a local repository to cache jars.

Update (2019-02-07)

This question is now 4 years old and in that time it's fair to say building application using Docker has undergone significant change.

Option 1: Multi-stage build

This new style enables you to create more light-weight images that don't encapsulate your build tools and source code.

The example here again uses the official maven base image to run first stage of the build using a desired version of Maven. The second part of the file defines how the built jar is assembled into the final output image.

FROM maven:3.5-jdk-8 AS build  
COPY src /usr/src/app/src  
COPY pom.xml /usr/src/app  
RUN mvn -f /usr/src/app/pom.xml clean package

FROM gcr.io/distroless/java  
COPY --from=build /usr/src/app/target/helloworld-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/app/helloworld-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar  
EXPOSE 8080  
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/usr/app/helloworld-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"]  

Note:

  • I'm using Google's distroless base image, which strives to provide just enough run-time for a java app.

Option 2: Jib

I haven't used this approach but seems worthy of investigation as it enables you to build images without having to create nasty things like Dockerfiles :-)

https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib

The project has a Maven plugin which integrates the packaging of your code directly into your Maven workflow.


Original answer (Included for completeness, but written ages ago)

Try using the new official images, there's one for Maven

https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/maven/

The image can be used to run Maven at build time to create a compiled application or, as in the following examples, to run a Maven build within a container.

Example 1 - Maven running within a container

The following command runs your Maven build inside a container:

docker run -it --rm \
       -v "$(pwd)":/opt/maven \
       -w /opt/maven \
       maven:3.2-jdk-7 \
       mvn clean install

Notes:

  • The neat thing about this approach is that all software is installed and running within the container. Only need docker on the host machine.
  • See Dockerfile for this version

Example 2 - Use Nexus to cache files

Run the Nexus container

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name nexus sonatype/nexus

Create a "settings.xml" file:

<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
      <url>http://nexus:8081/content/groups/public/</url>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>

Now run Maven linking to the nexus container, so that dependencies will be cached

docker run -it --rm \
       -v "$(pwd)":/opt/maven \
       -w /opt/maven \
       --link nexus:nexus \
       maven:3.2-jdk-7 \
       mvn -s settings.xml clean install

Notes:

  • An advantage of running Nexus in the background is that other 3rd party repositories can be managed via the admin URL transparently to the Maven builds running in local containers.

Where is body in a nodejs http.get response?

I also want to add that the http.ClientResponse returned by http.get() has an end event, so here is another way that I receive the body response:

var options = {
  host: 'www.google.com',
  port: 80,
  path: '/index.html'
};

http.get(options, function(res) {
  var body = '';
  res.on('data', function(chunk) {
    body += chunk;
  });
  res.on('end', function() {
    console.log(body);
  });
}).on('error', function(e) {

Why is Ant giving me a Unsupported major.minor version error

One possible cause of this is an incorrect JRE selected in the Ant build options. After right-clicking the build.xml and choosing 'Run As...' and then 'Ant Build...', make sure the correct JRE is chosen under the JRE Tab of the configuration options dialogue box. You will see a 'Separate JRE' option; make sure the appropriate jdk is chosen from the drop down before clicking 'Run'.

How to encrypt/decrypt data in php?

Foreword

Starting with your table definition:

- UserID
- Fname
- Lname
- Email
- Password
- IV

Here are the changes:

  1. The fields Fname, Lname and Email will be encrypted using a symmetric cipher, provided by OpenSSL,
  2. The IV field will store the initialisation vector used for encryption. The storage requirements depend on the cipher and mode used; more about this later.
  3. The Password field will be hashed using a one-way password hash,

Encryption

Cipher and mode

Choosing the best encryption cipher and mode is beyond the scope of this answer, but the final choice affects the size of both the encryption key and initialisation vector; for this post we will be using AES-256-CBC which has a fixed block size of 16 bytes and a key size of either 16, 24 or 32 bytes.

Encryption key

A good encryption key is a binary blob that's generated from a reliable random number generator. The following example would be recommended (>= 5.3):

$key_size = 32; // 256 bits
$encryption_key = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($key_size, $strong);
// $strong will be true if the key is crypto safe

This can be done once or multiple times (if you wish to create a chain of encryption keys). Keep these as private as possible.

IV

The initialisation vector adds randomness to the encryption and required for CBC mode. These values should be ideally be used only once (technically once per encryption key), so an update to any part of a row should regenerate it.

A function is provided to help you generate the IV:

$iv_size = 16; // 128 bits
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($iv_size, $strong);

Example

Let's encrypt the name field, using the earlier $encryption_key and $iv; to do this, we have to pad our data to the block size:

function pkcs7_pad($data, $size)
{
    $length = $size - strlen($data) % $size;
    return $data . str_repeat(chr($length), $length);
}

$name = 'Jack';
$enc_name = openssl_encrypt(
    pkcs7_pad($name, 16), // padded data
    'AES-256-CBC',        // cipher and mode
    $encryption_key,      // secret key
    0,                    // options (not used)
    $iv                   // initialisation vector
);

Storage requirements

The encrypted output, like the IV, is binary; storing these values in a database can be accomplished by using designated column types such as BINARY or VARBINARY.

The output value, like the IV, is binary; to store those values in MySQL, consider using BINARY or VARBINARY columns. If this is not an option, you can also convert the binary data into a textual representation using base64_encode() or bin2hex(), doing so requires between 33% to 100% more storage space.

Decryption

Decryption of the stored values is similar:

function pkcs7_unpad($data)
{
    return substr($data, 0, -ord($data[strlen($data) - 1]));
}

$row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); // read from database result
// $enc_name = base64_decode($row['Name']);
// $enc_name = hex2bin($row['Name']);
$enc_name = $row['Name'];
// $iv = base64_decode($row['IV']);
// $iv = hex2bin($row['IV']);
$iv = $row['IV'];

$name = pkcs7_unpad(openssl_decrypt(
    $enc_name,
    'AES-256-CBC',
    $encryption_key,
    0,
    $iv
));

Authenticated encryption

You can further improve the integrity of the generated cipher text by appending a signature that's generated from a secret key (different from the encryption key) and the cipher text. Before the cipher text is decrypted, the signature is first verified (preferably with a constant-time comparison method).

Example

// generate once, keep safe
$auth_key = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(32, $strong);

// authentication
$auth = hash_hmac('sha256', $enc_name, $auth_key, true);
$auth_enc_name = $auth . $enc_name;

// verification
$auth = substr($auth_enc_name, 0, 32);
$enc_name = substr($auth_enc_name, 32);
$actual_auth = hash_hmac('sha256', $enc_name, $auth_key, true);

if (hash_equals($auth, $actual_auth)) {
    // perform decryption
}

See also: hash_equals()

Hashing

Storing a reversible password in your database must be avoided as much as possible; you only wish to verify the password rather than knowing its contents. If a user loses their password, it's better to allow them to reset it rather than sending them their original one (make sure that password reset can only be done for a limited time).

Applying a hash function is a one-way operation; afterwards it can be safely used for verification without revealing the original data; for passwords, a brute force method is a feasible approach to uncover it due to its relatively short length and poor password choices of many people.

Hashing algorithms such as MD5 or SHA1 were made to verify file contents against a known hash value. They're greatly optimized to make this verification as fast as possible while still being accurate. Given their relatively limited output space it was easy to build a database with known passwords and their respective hash outputs, the rainbow tables.

Adding a salt to the password before hashing it would render a rainbow table useless, but recent hardware advancements made brute force lookups a viable approach. That's why you need a hashing algorithm that's deliberately slow and simply impossible to optimize. It should also be able to increase the load for faster hardware without affecting the ability to verify existing password hashes to make it future proof.

Currently there are two popular choices available:

  1. PBKDF2 (Password Based Key Derivation Function v2)
  2. bcrypt (aka Blowfish)

This answer will use an example with bcrypt.

Generation

A password hash can be generated like this:

$password = 'my password';
$random = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(18);
$salt = sprintf('$2y$%02d$%s',
    13, // 2^n cost factor
    substr(strtr(base64_encode($random), '+', '.'), 0, 22)
);

$hash = crypt($password, $salt);

The salt is generated with openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() to form a random blob of data which is then run through base64_encode() and strtr() to match the required alphabet of [A-Za-z0-9/.].

The crypt() function performs the hashing based on the algorithm ($2y$ for Blowfish), the cost factor (a factor of 13 takes roughly 0.40s on a 3GHz machine) and the salt of 22 characters.

Validation

Once you have fetched the row containing the user information, you validate the password in this manner:

$given_password = $_POST['password']; // the submitted password
$db_hash = $row['Password']; // field with the password hash

$given_hash = crypt($given_password, $db_hash);

if (isEqual($given_hash, $db_hash)) {
    // user password verified
}

// constant time string compare
function isEqual($str1, $str2)
{
    $n1 = strlen($str1);
    if (strlen($str2) != $n1) {
        return false;
    }
    for ($i = 0, $diff = 0; $i != $n1; ++$i) {
        $diff |= ord($str1[$i]) ^ ord($str2[$i]);
    }
    return !$diff;
}

To verify a password, you call crypt() again but you pass the previously calculated hash as the salt value. The return value yields the same hash if the given password matches the hash. To verify the hash, it's often recommended to use a constant-time comparison function to avoid timing attacks.

Password hashing with PHP 5.5

PHP 5.5 introduced the password hashing functions that you can use to simplify the above method of hashing:

$hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, ['cost' => 13]);

And verifying:

if (password_verify($given_password, $db_hash)) {
    // password valid
}

See also: password_hash(), password_verify()

Undefined reference to `pow' and `floor'

You need to compile with the link flag -lm, like this:

gcc fib.c -lm -o fibo

This will tell gcc to link your code against the math lib. Just be sure to put the flag after the objects you want to link.

What exactly is OAuth (Open Authorization)?

Oauth is definitely gaining momentum and becoming popular among enterprise APIs as well. In the app and data driven world, Enterprises are exposing APIs more and more to the outer world in line with Google, Facebook, twitter. With this development a 3 way triangle of authentication gets formed

1) API provider- Any enterprise which exposes their assets by API, say Amazon,Target etc 2) Developer - The one who build mobile/other apps over this APIs 3) The end user- The end user of the service provided by the - say registered/guest users of Amazon

Now this develops a situation related to security - (I am listing few of these complexities) 1) You as an end user wants to allow the developer to access APIs on behalf of you. 2) The API provider has to authenticate the developer and the end user 3) The end user should be able to grant and revoke the permissions for the consent they have given 4) The developer can have varying level of trust with the API provider, in which the level of permissions given to her is different

The Oauth is an authorization framework which tries to solve the above mentioned problem in a standard way. With the prominence of APIs and Apps this problem will become more and more relevant and any standard which tries to solve it - be it ouath or any other - will be something to care about as an API provider/developer and even end user!

Why do we use arrays instead of other data structures?

For O(1) random access, which can not be beaten.

Add JsonArray to JsonObject

I'm starting to learn about this myself, being very new to android development and I found this video very helpful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcotbMLjlA4

It specifically covers to to get JSONArray to JSONObject at 19:30 in the video.

Code from the video for JSONArray to JSONObject:

JSONArray queryArray = quoteJSONObject.names();

ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

for(int i = 0; i < queryArray.length(); i++){
    list.add(queryArray.getString(i));
}

for(String item : list){
    Log.v("JSON ARRAY ITEMS ", item);
}

Test for array of string type in TypeScript

Try this:

if (value instanceof Array) {
alert('value is Array!');
} else {
alert('Not an array');
}

Default passwords of Oracle 11g?

Login into the machine as oracle login user id( where oracle is installed)..

  1. Add ORACLE_HOME = <Oracle installation Directory> in Environment variable

  2. Open a command prompt

  3. Change the directory to %ORACLE_HOME%\bin

  4. type the command sqlplus /nolog

  5. SQL> connect /as sysdba

  6. SQL> alter user SYS identified by "newpassword";

One more check, while oracle installation and database confiuration assistant setup, if you configure any database then you might have given password and checked the same password for all other accounts.. If so, then you try with the password which you have given in your database configuration assistant setup.

Hope this will work for you..

How to run only one unit test class using Gradle

Please note that --tests option may not work if you have different build types/flavors (fails with Unknown command-line option '--tests'). In this case, it's necessary to specify the particular test task (e.g. testProdReleaseUnitTest instead of just test)

How to start up spring-boot application via command line?

1.Run Spring Boot app with java -jar command

To run your Spring Boot app from a command line in a Terminal window you can use java -jar command. This is provided your Spring Boot app was packaged as an executable jar file.

java -jar target/app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

2.Run Spring Boot app using Maven

You can also use Maven plugin to run your Spring Boot app. Use the below command to run your Spring Boot app with Maven plugin:

mvn spring-boot:run

3.Run Spring Boot App with Gradle

And if you use Gradle you can run the Spring Boot app with the following command:

gradle bootRun

input type=file show only button

For me, the simplest way is using a font color like background color. Simple, not elegant, but usefull.

<div style="color:#FFFFFF">   <!-- if background page is white, of course -->
<input class="fileInput" type="file" name="file1"/></div>

callback to handle completion of pipe

Code snippet for piping content from web via http(s) to filesystem. As @starbeamrainbowlabs noticed event finish does job

var tmpFile = "/tmp/somefilename.doc";

var ws = fs.createWriteStream(tmpFile);
ws.on('finish', function() {
  // pipe done here, do something with file
});

var client = url.slice(0, 5) === 'https' ? https : http;
client.get(url, function(response) {
  return response.pipe(ws);
});

Select first occurring element after another element

Just hit on this when trying to solve this type of thing my self.

I did a selector that deals with the element after being something other than a p.

.here .is.the #selector h4 + * {...}

Hope this helps anyone who finds it :)

Adding a css class to select using @Html.DropDownList()

There are some options in constructors look, if you don't have dropdownList and you wanna insert CSS class you can use like

@Html.DropDownList("Country", null, "Choose-Category", new {@class="form-control"})

in this case Country is the name of your dropdown, null is for you aren't passing any generic list from your controller "Choose-Category" is selected item and last one in CSS class if you don't wanna select any default option so simple replace "Choose-Category" with ""

Using margin / padding to space <span> from the rest of the <p>

Try in html:

style="display: inline-block; margin-top: 50px;"

or in css:

display: inline-block;
margin-top: 50px;

Get current time in hours and minutes

Could also potentially use this script to use the system time in a variable

now=$(date +"%m_%d_%Y_%M:%S")

Which outputs as

12_07_2020_34:21

How to call a mysql stored procedure, with arguments, from command line?

With quotes around the date:

mysql> CALL insertEvent('2012.01.01 12:12:12');

Mvn install or Mvn package

mvn install is the option that is most often used.
mvn package is seldom used, only if you're debugging some issue with the maven build process.

See: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html

Note that mvn package will only create a jar file.
mvn install will do that and install the jar (and class etc.) files in the proper places if other code depends on those jars.

I usually do a mvn clean install; this deletes the target directory and recreates all jars in that location.
The clean helps with unneeded or removed stuff that can sometimes get in the way.
Rather then debug (some of the time) just start fresh all of the time.

Can Android do peer-to-peer ad-hoc networking?

my friend and I are currently developing a java library implementing the AODV protocol (multihop routing suitable for mobile networks), in our bachelor thesis. The final 'product' includes a easy way to create/join an adhoc network on several android devices and an interface through the library, to send and receive messages. Unfortunately each type of phone such as hero, nexsus one... have a phonedepended way for createing a adhoc network so currently we are only supporting a few phones).

this means that once this project is finished, people with rooted phones can implement their distributed applications (file sharing, games, ...) by simply including the library .jar file in their android projects.

it's all open source by the way

How do I put text on ProgressBar?

I have used this simple code, and it works!

for (int i = 0; i < N * N; i++)
     {
        Thread.Sleep(50);
        progressBar1.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => progressBar1.Value = i));
        progressBar1.CreateGraphics().DrawString(i.ToString() + "%", new Font("Arial",
        (float)10.25, FontStyle.Bold),
        Brushes.Red, new PointF(progressBar1.Width / 2 - 10, progressBar1.Height / 2 - 7));
     }

It just has one simple problem and this is it: when progress bar start to rising, percentage some times hide, and then appear again. I did't write it myself.I found it here: text on progressbar in c#

I used this code, and it does work.

What are Long-Polling, Websockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE) and Comet?

You can easily use Node.JS in your web app only for real-time communication. Node.JS is really powerful when it's about WebSockets. Therefore "PHP Notifications via Node.js" would be a great concept.

See this example: Creating a Real-Time Chat App with PHP and Node.js

JavaScript Chart.js - Custom data formatting to display on tooltip

You want to specify a custom tooltip template in your chart options, like this :

 // String - Template string for single tooltips
 tooltipTemplate: "<%if (label){%><%=label %>: <%}%><%= value + ' %' %>",
 // String - Template string for multiple tooltips
 multiTooltipTemplate: "<%= value + ' %' %>",

This way you can add a '%' sign after your values if that's what you want.

Here's a jsfiddle to illustrate this.

Note that tooltipTemplate applies if you only have one dataset, multiTooltipTemplate applies if you have several datasets.

This options are mentioned in the global chart configuration section of the documentation. Do have a look, it's worth checking for all the other options that can be customized in there.

Note that Your datasets should only contain numeric values. (No % signs or other stuff there).

test if event handler is bound to an element in jQuery

You can get this information from the data cache.

For example, log them to the console (firebug, ie8):

console.dir( $('#someElementId').data('events') );

or iterate them:

jQuery.each($('#someElementId').data('events'), function(i, event){

    jQuery.each(event, function(i, handler){

        console.log( handler.toString() );

    });

});

Another way is you can use the following bookmarklet but obviously this does not help at runtime.

Why does DEBUG=False setting make my django Static Files Access fail?

Just open your project urls.py, then find this if statement.

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns(
        'django.views.static',
        (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)','serve',{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), )

You can change settings.DEBUG on True and it will work always. But if your project is a something serious then you should to think about other solutions mentioned above.

if True:
    urlpatterns += patterns(
        'django.views.static',
        (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)','serve',{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), )

In django 1.10 you can write so:

urlpatterns += [ url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, { 'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, }), url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, { 'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT }), ]

std::queue iteration

If you need to iterate a queue ... queue isn't the container you need.
Why did you pick a queue?
Why don't you take a container that you can iterate over?


1.if you pick a queue then you say you want to wrap a container into a 'queue' interface: - front - back - push - pop - ...

if you also want to iterate, a queue has an incorrect interface. A queue is an adaptor that provides a restricted subset of the original container

2.The definition of a queue is a FIFO and by definition a FIFO is not iterable

jQuery & CSS - Remove/Add display:none

i'd suggest adding a class to display/hide elements:

.hide { display:none; }

and then use jquery's .toggleClass() to show/hide the element:

$(".news").toggleClass("hide");

Changing the sign of a number in PHP?

A trivial

$num = $num <= 0 ? $num : -$num ;

or, the better solution, IMHO:

$num = -1 * abs($num)

As @VegardLarsen has posted,

the explicit multiplication can be avoided for shortness but I prefer readability over shortness

I suggest to avoid if/else (or equivalent ternary operator) especially if you have to manipulate a number of items (in a loop or using a lambda function), as it will affect performance.

"If the float is a negative, make it a positive."

In order to change the sign of a number you can simply do:

$num = 0 - $num;

or, multiply it by -1, of course :)

Receiving JSON data back from HTTP request

What I normally do, similar to answer one:

var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(completeURL); // http://192.168.0.1:915/api/Controller/Object

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode == true)
    {
        string res = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        var content = Json.Deserialize<Model>(res);

// do whatever you need with the JSON which is in 'content'
// ex: int id = content.Id;

        Navigate();
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        await JSRuntime.Current.InvokeAsync<string>("alert", "Warning, the credentials you have entered are incorrect.");
        return false;
    }

Where 'model' is your C# model class.

Can an XSLT insert the current date?

For MSXML parser, try this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
                xmlns:my="urn:sample" extension-element-prefixes="msxml">

    <msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="my">
       function today()
       {
          return new Date(); 
       } 
    </msxsl:script> 
    <xsl:template match="/">

        Today = <xsl:value-of select="my:today()"/>

    </xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet>

Also read XSLT Stylesheet Scripting using msxsl:script and Extending XSLT with JScript, C#, and Visual Basic .NET

How do I get the current date and time in PHP?

Since PHP 5.2.0 you can use the DateTime() class:

use \Datetime;

$now = new DateTime();
echo $now->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');    // MySQL datetime format
echo $now->getTimestamp();           // Unix Timestamp -- Since PHP 5.3

And to specify the timezone:

$now = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('America/New_York'));
$now->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));    // Another way
echo $now->getTimezone();

Convert integer to binary in C#

This function will convert integer to binary in C#:

public static string ToBinary(int N)
{
    int d = N;
    int q = -1;
    int r = -1;

    string binNumber = string.Empty;
    while (q != 1)
    {
        r = d % 2;
        q = d / 2;
        d = q;
        binNumber = r.ToString() + binNumber;
    }
    binNumber = q.ToString() + binNumber;
    return binNumber;
}

Removing the textarea border in HTML

textarea {
border: 0;
overflow: auto; }

less CSS ^ you can't align the text to the bottom unfortunately.

List all column except for one in R

You can index and use a negative sign to drop the 3rd column:

data[,-3]

Or you can list only the first 2 columns:

data[,c("c1", "c2")]
data[,1:2]

Don't forget the comma and referencing data frames works like this: data[row,column]

Select2() is not a function

Add $("#id").select2() out of document.ready() function.

Twitter Bootstrap Multilevel Dropdown Menu

I was able to fix the sub-menu's always pinning to the top of the parent menu from Andres's answer with the following addition:

.dropdown-menu li {
    position: relative;
}

I also add an icon "icon-chevron-right" on items which contain menu sub-menus, and change the icon from black to white on hover (to compliment the text changing to white and look better with the selected blue background).

Here is the full less/css change (replace the above with this):

.dropdown-menu li {
    position: relative;

    [class^="icon-"] {
        float: right;
    }

    &:hover {
        // Switch to white icons on hover
        [class^="icon-"] {
            background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-white.png");
        }
    }
}

How to use JavaScript variables in jQuery selectors?

var name = this.name;
$("input[name=" + name + "]").hide();

OR you can do something like this.

var id = this.id;
$('#' + id).hide();

OR you can give some effect also.

$("#" + this.id).slideUp();

If you want to remove the entire element permanently form the page.

$("#" + this.id).remove();

You can also use it in this also.

$("#" + this.id).slideUp('slow', function (){
    $("#" + this.id).remove();
});

How to add an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

So what you do is... In the font files folder put an htaccess file with the following in it.

<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff|woff2)$">
  <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
  </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

also in your remote CSS file, the font-face declaration needs the full absolute URL of the font-file (not needed in local CSS files):

e.g.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'LeagueGothicRegular';
    src: url('http://www.example.com/css/fonts/League_Gothic.eot?') format('eot'),
         url('http://www.example.com/css/fonts/League_Gothic.woff') format('woff'),
         url('http://www.example.com/css/fonts/League_Gothic.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('http://www.example.com/css/fonts/League_Gothic.svg')

}

That will fix the issue. One thing to note is that you can specify exactly which domains should be allowed to access your font. In the above htaccess I have specified that everyone can access my font with "*" however you can limit it to:

A single URL:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin http://example.com

Or a comma-delimited list of URLs

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://site1.com,http://site2.com

(Multiple values are not supported in current implementations)

C++ Redefinition Header Files (winsock2.h)

By using "header guards":

#ifndef MYCLASS_H
#define MYCLASS_H

// This is unnecessary, see comments.
//#pragma once

// MyClass.h

#include <winsock2.h>

class MyClass
{

// methods
public:
    MyClass(unsigned short port);
    virtual ~MyClass(void);
};

#endif

Most efficient way to remove special characters from string

Why do you think that your method is not efficient? It's actually one of the most efficient ways that you can do it.

You should of course read the character into a local variable or use an enumerator to reduce the number of array accesses:

public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(this string str) {
   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
   foreach (char c in str) {
      if ((c >= '0' && c <= '9') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') || (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || c == '.' || c == '_') {
         sb.Append(c);
      }
   }
   return sb.ToString();
}

One thing that makes a method like this efficient is that it scales well. The execution time will be relative to the length of the string. There is no nasty surprises if you would use it on a large string.

Edit:
I made a quick performance test, running each function a million times with a 24 character string. These are the results:

Original function: 54.5 ms.
My suggested change: 47.1 ms.
Mine with setting StringBuilder capacity: 43.3 ms.
Regular expression: 294.4 ms.

Edit 2: I added the distinction between A-Z and a-z in the code above. (I reran the performance test, and there is no noticable difference.)

Edit 3:
I tested the lookup+char[] solution, and it runs in about 13 ms.

The price to pay is, of course, the initialization of the huge lookup table and keeping it in memory. Well, it's not that much data, but it's much for such a trivial function...

private static bool[] _lookup;

static Program() {
   _lookup = new bool[65536];
   for (char c = '0'; c <= '9'; c++) _lookup[c] = true;
   for (char c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; c++) _lookup[c] = true;
   for (char c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++) _lookup[c] = true;
   _lookup['.'] = true;
   _lookup['_'] = true;
}

public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str) {
   char[] buffer = new char[str.Length];
   int index = 0;
   foreach (char c in str) {
      if (_lookup[c]) {
         buffer[index] = c;
         index++;
      }
   }
   return new string(buffer, 0, index);
}

Merge, update, and pull Git branches without using checkouts

git worktree add [-f] [--detach] [--checkout] [--lock] [-b <new-branch>] <path> [<commit-ish>]

You can try git worktree to have two branches open side by side, this sounds like it might be what you want but very different than some of the other answers I've seen here.

In this way you can have two separate branches tracking in the same git repo so you only have to fetch once to get updates in both work trees (rather than having to git clone twice and git pull on each)

Worktree will create a new working directory for your code where you can have a different branch checked out simultaneously instead of swapping branches in place.

When you want to remove it you can clean up with

git worktree remove [-f] <worktree>

How to search for occurrences of more than one space between words in a line

Simple solution:

/\s{2,}/

This matches all occurrences of one or more whitespace characters. If you need to match the entire line, but only if it contains two or more consecutive whitespace characters:

/^.*\s{2,}.*$/

If the whitespaces don't need to be consecutive:

/^(.*\s.*){2,}$/

Sorting Values of Set

Strings are sorted lexicographically. The behavior you're seeing is correct.

Define your own comparator to sort the strings however you prefer.

It would also work the way you're expecting (5 as the first element) if you changed your collections to Integer instead of using String.

Passing multiple parameters with $.ajax url

why not just pass an data an object with your key/value pairs then you don't have to worry about encoding

$.ajax({
    type: "Post",
    url: "getdata.php",
    data:{
       timestamp: timestamp,
       uid: id,
       uname: name
    },
    async: true,
    cache: false,
    success: function(data) {


    };
}?);?

How to make a <button> in Bootstrap look like a normal link in nav-tabs?

Just get rid of the background color, borders and add hover effects. Here's a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/yPU29/

<form action="..." method="post">
<div class="row-fluid">
<!-- Navigation for the form -->
<div class="span3">
  <ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-stacked">
    <li><button type="submit" name="op" value="Link 1" class="button-link">Link 1</button></li>
    <li><button type="submit" name="op" value="Link 2" class="button-link">Link 2</button></li>
    <!-- ... -->
  </ul>
</div>
<!-- The actual form -->
<div class="span9">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
</form>

CSS:

.button-link {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
}

.button-link:hover {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}

What does '--set-upstream' do?

git branch --set-upstream <<origin/branch>> is officially not supported anymore and is replaced by git branch --set-upstream-to <<origin/branch>>

Get POST data in C#/ASP.NET

c.Request["AP"] will read posted values. Also you need to use a submit button to post the form:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

instead of

<input type=button value="Submit" />

React js onClick can't pass value to method

I have below 3 suggestion to this on JSX onClick Events -

  1. Actually, we don't need to use .bind() or Arrow function in our code. You can simple use in your code.

  2. You can also move onClick event from th(or ul) to tr(or li) to improve the performance. Basically you will have n number of "Event Listeners" for your n li element.

    So finally code will look like this:
    <ul onClick={this.onItemClick}>
        {this.props.items.map(item =>
               <li key={item.id} data-itemid={item.id}>
                   ...
               </li>
          )}
    </ul>
    

    // And you can access item.id in onItemClick method as shown below:

    onItemClick = (event) => {
       console.log(e.target.getAttribute("item.id"));
    }
    
  3. I agree with the approach mention above for creating separate React Component for ListItem and List. This make code looks good however if you have 1000 of li then 1000 Event Listeners will be created. Please make sure you should not have much event listener.

    import React from "react";
    import ListItem from "./ListItem";
    export default class List extends React.Component {
    
        /**
        * This List react component is generic component which take props as list of items and also provide onlick
        * callback name handleItemClick
        * @param {String} item - item object passed to caller
        */
        handleItemClick = (item) => {
            if (this.props.onItemClick) {
                this.props.onItemClick(item);
            }
        }
    
        /**
        * render method will take list of items as a props and include ListItem component
        * @returns {string} - return the list of items
        */
        render() {
            return (
                <div>
                  {this.props.items.map(item =>
                      <ListItem key={item.id} item={item} onItemClick={this.handleItemClick}/>
                  )}
                </div>
            );
        }
    
    }
    
    
    import React from "react";
    
    export default class ListItem extends React.Component {
        /**
        * This List react component is generic component which take props as item and also provide onlick
        * callback name handleItemClick
        * @param {String} item - item object passed to caller
        */
        handleItemClick = () => {
            if (this.props.item && this.props.onItemClick) {
                this.props.onItemClick(this.props.item);
            }
        }
        /**
        * render method will take item as a props and print in li
        * @returns {string} - return the list of items
        */
        render() {
            return (
                <li key={this.props.item.id} onClick={this.handleItemClick}>{this.props.item.text}</li>
            );
        }
    }
    

How can I create a dynamically sized array of structs?

Here is how I would do it in C++

size_t size = 500;
char* dynamicAllocatedString = new char[ size ];

Use same principal for any struct or c++ class.

How can I create a memory leak in Java?

A thread that does not terminate (say sleeps indefinitely in its run method). It will not be garbage collected even if we loose a reference to it. You can add fields to make the thread object is a big as you want.

The currently top answer lists more tricks around this but these seem redundant.

java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints

colleagues.

I have faced with this trouble during a development of automation tests for our REST API. JDK 7_80 was installed at my machine only. Before I installed JDK 8, everything worked just fine and I had a possibility to obtain OAuth 2.0 tokens with a JMeter. After I installed JDK 8, the nightmare with Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints began.

Both JMeter and Serenity did not have a possibility to obtain a token. JMeter uses the JDK library to make the request. The library just raises an exception when the library call is made to connect to endpoints that use it, ignoring the request.

The next thing was to comment all the lines dedicated to disabledAlgorithms in ALL java.security files.

C:\Java\jre7\lib\security\java.security
C:\Java\jre8\lib\security\java.security
C:\Java\jdk8\jre\lib\security\java.security
C:\Java\jdk7\jre\lib\security\java.security

Then it started to work at last. I know, that's a brute force approach, but it was the most simple way to fix it.

# jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 768
# jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024

ITextSharp insert text to an existing pdf

Here is a method that uses stamper and absolute coordinates showed in the different PDF clients (Adobe, FoxIt and etc. )

public static void AddTextToPdf(string inputPdfPath, string outputPdfPath, string textToAdd, System.Drawing.Point point)
    {
        //variables
        string pathin = inputPdfPath;
        string pathout = outputPdfPath;

        //create PdfReader object to read from the existing document
        using (PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pathin))
        //create PdfStamper object to write to get the pages from reader 
        using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(pathout, FileMode.Create)))
        {
            //select two pages from the original document
            reader.SelectPages("1-2");

            //gettins the page size in order to substract from the iTextSharp coordinates
            var pageSize = reader.GetPageSize(1);

            // PdfContentByte from stamper to add content to the pages over the original content
            PdfContentByte pbover = stamper.GetOverContent(1);

            //add content to the page using ColumnText
            Font font = new Font();
            font.Size = 45;

            //setting up the X and Y coordinates of the document
            int x = point.X;
            int y = point.Y;

            y = (int) (pageSize.Height - y);

Fit cell width to content

For me, this is the best autofit and autoresize for table and its columns (use css !important ... only if you can't without)

.myclass table {
    table-layout: auto !important;
}

.myclass th, .myclass td, .myclass thead th, .myclass tbody td, .myclass tfoot td, .myclass tfoot th {
    width: auto !important;
}

Don't specify css width for table or for table columns. If table content is larger it will go over screen size to.

Read XML Attribute using XmlDocument

I have an Xml File books.xml

<ParameterDBConfig>
    <ID Definition="1" />
</ParameterDBConfig>

Program:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("D:/siva/books.xml");
XmlNodeList elemList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("ID");     
for (int i = 0; i < elemList.Count; i++)     
{
    string attrVal = elemList[i].Attributes["Definition"].Value;
}

Now, attrVal has the value of ID.

Save results to csv file with Python

This is how I do it

 import csv
    file = open('???.csv', 'r')
    read = csv.reader(file)
    for column in read:
            file = open('???.csv', 'r')
            read = csv.reader(file)
            file.close()
            file = open('????.csv', 'a', newline='')
            write = csv.writer(file, delimiter = ",")
            write.writerow((, ))
            file.close()

Regular expression for first and last name

^\p{L}{2,}$

^ asserts position at start of a line.

\p{L} matches any kind of letter from any language

{2,} Quantifier — Matches between 2 and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)

$ asserts position at the end of a line

So it should be a name in any language containing at least 2 letters(or symbols) without numbers or other characters.

Android: No Activity found to handle Intent error? How it will resolve

Intent intent=new Intent(String) is defined for parameter task, whereas you are passing parameter componentname into this, use instead:

Intent i = new Intent(Settings.this, com.scytec.datamobile.vd.gui.android.AppPreferenceActivity.class);
                    startActivity(i);

In this statement replace ActivityName by Name of Class of Activity, this code resides in.

Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g

You need to merge the remote branch into your current branch by running git pull.

If your local branch is already up-to-date, you may also need to run git pull --rebase.

How to wait until an element exists?

I was having this same problem, so I went ahead and wrote a plugin for it.

$(selector).waitUntilExists(function);

Code:

;(function ($, window) {

var intervals = {};
var removeListener = function(selector) {

    if (intervals[selector]) {

        window.clearInterval(intervals[selector]);
        intervals[selector] = null;
    }
};
var found = 'waitUntilExists.found';

/**
 * @function
 * @property {object} jQuery plugin which runs handler function once specified
 *           element is inserted into the DOM
 * @param {function|string} handler 
 *            A function to execute at the time when the element is inserted or 
 *            string "remove" to remove the listener from the given selector
 * @param {bool} shouldRunHandlerOnce 
 *            Optional: if true, handler is unbound after its first invocation
 * @example jQuery(selector).waitUntilExists(function);
 */

$.fn.waitUntilExists = function(handler, shouldRunHandlerOnce, isChild) {

    var selector = this.selector;
    var $this = $(selector);
    var $elements = $this.not(function() { return $(this).data(found); });

    if (handler === 'remove') {

        // Hijack and remove interval immediately if the code requests
        removeListener(selector);
    }
    else {

        // Run the handler on all found elements and mark as found
        $elements.each(handler).data(found, true);

        if (shouldRunHandlerOnce && $this.length) {

            // Element was found, implying the handler already ran for all 
            // matched elements
            removeListener(selector);
        }
        else if (!isChild) {

            // If this is a recurring search or if the target has not yet been 
            // found, create an interval to continue searching for the target
            intervals[selector] = window.setInterval(function () {

                $this.waitUntilExists(handler, shouldRunHandlerOnce, true);
            }, 500);
        }
    }

    return $this;
};

}(jQuery, window));

Is there a way to remove the separator line from a UITableView?

You can do this with the UITableView property separatorStyle. Make sure the property is set to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone and you're set.

Objective-C

self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

In Swift (prior to 3)

tableView.separatorStyle = .None

In Swift 3/4/5

tableView.separatorStyle = .none

git - Server host key not cached

If you receive the message about the unrecognized host key while doing git push/pull operations using ATLASSIAN SOURCETREE you do not have the ability to answer y/n and the push/pull operation will be aborted without caching the key. However going to SourceTree Tools->Options (General Tab) and changing the SSH Client under (under SSH Client Configuration) from PuTTY to OpenSSH will allow the key to be cached without changing anything else.

Create URL from a String

URL url = new URL(yourUrl, "/api/v1/status.xml");

According to the javadocs this constructor just appends whatever resource to the end of your domain, so you would want to create 2 urls:

URL domain = new URL("http://example.com");
URL url = new URL(domain + "/files/resource.xml");

Resize HTML5 canvas to fit window

I believe I have found an elegant solution to this:

JavaScript

/* important! for alignment, you should make things
 * relative to the canvas' current width/height.
 */
function draw() {
  var ctx = (a canvas context);
  ctx.canvas.width  = window.innerWidth;
  ctx.canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
  //...drawing code...
}

CSS

html, body {
  width:  100%;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

Hasn't had any large negative performance impact for me, so far.

Convert column classes in data.table

try:

dt <- data.table(A = c(1:5), 
                 B= c(11:15))

x <- ncol(dt)

for(i in 1:x) 
{
     dt[[i]] <- as.character(dt[[i]])
}

Format number to always show 2 decimal places

For the most accurate rounding, create this function:

function round(value, decimals) {
    return Number(Math.round(value +'e'+ decimals) +'e-'+ decimals).toFixed(decimals);
}

and use it to round to 2 decimal places:

console.log("seeked to " + round(1.005, 2));
> 1.01

Thanks to Razu, this article, and MDN's Math.round reference.

The Android emulator is not starting, showing "invalid command-line parameter"

NickC is correct. It is also worth pointing out that the SDK location is set in Eclipse > Window menu > Preferences > Android. If your folders are different you can check the 8.3 format of any folder with dir foldername /x at the command prompt.

PHP CURL Enable Linux

If anyone else stumbles onto this page from google like I did:

use putty (putty.exe) to sign into your server and install curl using this command :

    sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Make sure curl is enabled in the php.ini file. For me it's in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, if you can't find it, this line might be in /etc/php5/conf.d/curl.ini. Make sure the line :

    extension=curl.so

is not commented out then restart apache, so type this into putty:

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Best way to check if column returns a null value (from database to .net application)

Just check for

if(table.rows[0][0] == null)
{
     //Whatever I want to do
}

or you could

if(t.Rows[0].IsNull(0))
{
     //Whatever I want to do
}

find a minimum value in an array of floats

You need to iterate the 2d array in order to get the min value of each row, then you have to push any gotten min value to another array and finally you need to get the min value of the array where each min row value was pushed

def get_min_value(self, table):
    min_values = []
    for i in range(0, len(table)):
        min_value = min(table[i])
        min_values.append(min_value)

    return min(min_values)

System.out.println("Now the date is :=>  " + dateNow);

How do I change the default port (9000) that Play uses when I execute the "run" command?

How to check whether a string contains a substring in JavaScript?

There is a String.prototype.includes in ES6:

"potato".includes("to");
> true

Note that this does not work in Internet Explorer or some other old browsers with no or incomplete ES6 support. To make it work in old browsers, you may wish to use a transpiler like Babel, a shim library like es6-shim, or this polyfill from MDN:

if (!String.prototype.includes) {
  String.prototype.includes = function(search, start) {
    'use strict';
    if (typeof start !== 'number') {
      start = 0;
    }

    if (start + search.length > this.length) {
      return false;
    } else {
      return this.indexOf(search, start) !== -1;
    }
  };
}

What is the difference between HTTP_HOST and SERVER_NAME in PHP?

If you want to check through a server.php or whatever, you want to call it with the following:

<?php
    phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);
?>

or

<?php
    header("Content-type: text/plain");

    print_r($_SERVER);
?>

Then access it with all the valid URLs for your site and check out the difference.

jQuery datepicker, onSelect won't work

The best solution is to set the datepicker defaults

folows the code that I used

$.datepicker.setDefaults({
    onSelect: function () {
        $(this).focus();
        $(this).nextAll('input, button, textarea, a').filter(':first').focus();
    }
});

Any way to replace characters on Swift String?

Here is the example for Swift 3:

Animate element transform rotate

As far as I know, basic animates can't animate non-numeric CSS properties.

I believe you could get this done using a step function and the appropriate css3 transform for the users browser. CSS3 transform is a bit tricky to cover all your browsers in (IE6 you need to use the Matrix filter, for instance).

EDIT: here's an example that works in webkit browsers (Chrome, Safari): http://jsfiddle.net/ryleyb/ERRmd/

If you wanted to support IE9 only, you could use transform instead of -webkit-transform, or -moz-transform would support FireFox.

The trick used is to animate a CSS property we don't care about (text-indent) and then use its value in a step function to do the rotation:

$('#foo').animate(
..
step: function(now,fx) {
  $(this).css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+now+'deg)'); 
}
...

docker error: /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory

You don't need to run any docker commands as sudo when you're using boot2docker as every command passed into the boot2docker VM runs as root by default.

You're seeing the error when you're running as sudo because sudo doesn't have the DOCKER_HOST env set, only your user does.

You can confirm this by doing a:

$ env

Then a

$ sudo env

And looking for DOCKER_HOST in each output.

As for having a docker file that runs your script, something like this might work for you:

Dockerfile

FROM busybox

# Copy your script into the docker image
ADD /path/to/your/script.sh /usr/local/bin/script.sh

# Run your script
CMD /usr/local/bin/script.sh

Then you can run:

docker build -t your-image-name:your-tag .

This will build your docker image, which you can see by doing a:

docker images

Then, to run your container, you can do a:

docker run your-image-name:your-tag

This run command will start a container from the image you created with your Dockerfile and your build command and then it will finish once your script.sh has finished executing.

Check object empty

I have a way, you guys tell me how good it is.

Create a new object of the class and compare it with your object (which you want to check for emptiness).

To be correctly able to do it :

Override the hashCode() and equals() methods of your model class and also of the classes, objects of whose are members of your class, for example :

Person class (primary model class) :

public class Person {

    private int age;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private Address address;

    //getters and setters

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + ((address == null) ? 0 : address.hashCode());
        result = prime * result + age;
        result = prime * result + ((firstName == null) ? 0 : firstName.hashCode());
        result = prime * result + ((lastName == null) ? 0 : lastName.hashCode());
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        Person other = (Person) obj;
        if (address == null) {
            if (other.address != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!address.equals(other.address))
            return false;
        if (age != other.age)
            return false;
        if (firstName == null) {
            if (other.firstName != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!firstName.equals(other.firstName))
            return false;
        if (lastName == null) {
            if (other.lastName != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!lastName.equals(other.lastName))
            return false;
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Person [age=" + age + ", firstName=" + firstName + ", lastName=" + lastName + ", address=" + address
                + "]";
    }

}

Address class (used inside Person class) :

public class Address {

    private String line1;
    private String line2;

    //getters and setters

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + ((line1 == null) ? 0 : line1.hashCode());
        result = prime * result + ((line2 == null) ? 0 : line2.hashCode());
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        Address other = (Address) obj;
        if (line1 == null) {
            if (other.line1 != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!line1.equals(other.line1))
            return false;
        if (line2 == null) {
            if (other.line2 != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!line2.equals(other.line2))
            return false;
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Address [line1=" + line1 + ", line2=" + line2 + "]";
    }

}

Now in the main class :

    Person person1 = new Person();
    person1.setAge(20);

    Person person2 = new Person();

    Person person3 = new Person();

if(person1.equals(person2)) --> this will be false

if(person2.equals(person3)) --> this will be true

I hope this is the best way instead of putting if conditions on each and every member variables.

Angularjs checkbox checked by default on load and disables Select list when checked

You don't really need the directive, can achieve it by using the ng-init and ng-checked. below demo link shows how to set the initial value for checkbox in angularjs.

demo link:

<form>
    <div>
      Released<input type="checkbox" ng-model="Released" ng-bind-html="ACR.Released" ng-true-value="true" ng-false-value="false" ng-init='Released=true' ng-checked='true' /> 
      Inactivated<input type="checkbox" ng-model="Inactivated" ng-bind-html="Inactivated" ng-true-value="true" ng-false-value="false" ng-init='Inactivated=false' ng-checked='false' /> 
      Title Changed<input type="checkbox" ng-model="Title" ng-bind-html="Title" ng-true-value="true" ng-false-value="false" ng-init='Title=false' ng-checked='false' />
    </div>
    <br/>
    <div>Released value is  <b>{{Released}}</b></div>
    <br/>
    <div>Inactivated  value is  <b>{{Inactivated}}</b></div>
    <br/>
    <div>Title  value is  <b>{{Title}}</b></div>
    <br/>
  </form>

// Code goes here

  var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
        app.controller("myCtrl", function ($scope) {

         });    

Get safe area inset top and bottom heights

How to add footnotes to GitHub-flavoured Markdown?

Expanding a little bit on the previous answer, you can make the footnote links clickable here as well. First define the footnote at the bottom like this

<a name="myfootnote1">1</a>: Footnote content goes here

Then reference it at some other place in the document like this

<sup>[1](#myfootnote1)</sup>

How can I get the full object in Node.js's console.log(), rather than '[Object]'?

Easiest option:

_x000D_
_x000D_
    console.log('%O', myObject);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How do I get the different parts of a Flask request's url?

If you are using Python, I would suggest by exploring the request object:

dir(request)

Since the object support the method dict:

request.__dict__

It can be printed or saved. I use it to log 404 codes in Flask:

@app.errorhandler(404)
def not_found(e):
    with open("./404.csv", "a") as f:
        f.write(f'{datetime.datetime.now()},{request.__dict__}\n')
    return send_file('static/images/Darknet-404-Page-Concept.png', mimetype='image/png')

"End of script output before headers" error in Apache

You may be getting this error if you are executing CGI files out of a home directory using Apache's mod_userdir and the user's public_html directory is not group-owned by that user's primary GID.

I have been unable to find any documentation on this, but this was the solution I stumbled upon to some failing CGI scripts. I know it sounds really bizarre (it doesn't make any sense to me either), but it did work for me, so hopefully this will be useful to someone else as well.

CSS - Syntax to select a class within an id

.navigationLevel2 li { color: #aa0000 }

Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

In my case, the issue was due to WAMP using a different php.ini for CLI than Apache, so your settings made through the WAMP menu don't apply to CLI. Just modify the CLI php.ini and it works.

Adding dictionaries together, Python

Please search the site before asking questions next time: how to concatenate two dictionaries to create a new one in Python?

The easiest way to do it is to simply use your example code, but using the items() member of each dictionary. So, the code would be:

dic0 = {'dic0': 0}
dic1 = {'dic1': 1}
dic2 = dict(dic0.items() + dic1.items())

I tested this in IDLE and it works fine. However, the previous question on this topic states that this method is slow and chews up memory. There are several other ways recommended there, so please see that if memory usage is important.

Maven Could not resolve dependencies, artifacts could not be resolved

iOS Remote Debugging

From my understanding, Google Chrome utilizes the iOS's UIWebView rather than a full blown implementation of Chrome like the Android counterpart.

How to completely uninstall Visual Studio 2010?

Download and install IOBIT uninstaller: http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.php, find the date in which you install Visual Studio and select all programas from that date r elated to VS. Then run de batch uninstaller. It is not a fully automated solution but it is a lot quicker than going one by one int he add / remove programs in Windows. It even has a power scan to clean the registry.

Spring Boot Program cannot find main class

Even I faced the same issue, later I found that it happened because the maven build operation was not happening properly in my environment. Please check it in your case also.

"Multiple definition", "first defined here" errors

I had a similar issue when not using inline for my global function that was included in two places.

using sql count in a case statement

Depending on you flavor of SQL, you can also imply the else statement in your aggregate counts.

For example, here's a simple table Grades:

| Letters |
|---------|
| A       |
| A       |
| B       |
| C       |

We can test out each Aggregate counter syntax like this (Interactive Demo in SQL Fiddle):

SELECT
    COUNT(CASE WHEN Letter = 'A' THEN 1 END)           AS [Count - End],
    COUNT(CASE WHEN Letter = 'A' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) AS [Count - Else Null],
    COUNT(CASE WHEN Letter = 'A' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)    AS [Count - Else Zero],
    SUM(CASE WHEN Letter = 'A' THEN 1 END)             AS [Sum - End],
    SUM(CASE WHEN Letter = 'A' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END)   AS [Sum - Else Null],
    SUM(CASE WHEN Letter = 'A' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)      AS [Sum - Else Zero]
FROM Grades

And here are the results (unpivoted for readability):

|    Description    | Counts |
|-------------------|--------|
| Count - End       |    2   |
| Count - Else Null |    2   |
| Count - Else Zero |    4   | *Note: Will include count of zero values
| Sum - End         |    2   |
| Sum - Else Null   |    2   |
| Sum - Else Zero   |    2   |

Which lines up with the docs for Aggregate Functions in SQL

Docs for COUNT:

COUNT(*) - returns the number of items in a group. This includes NULL values and duplicates.
COUNT(ALL expression) - evaluates expression for each row in a group, and returns the number of nonnull values.
COUNT(DISTINCT expression) - evaluates expression for each row in a group, and returns the number of unique, nonnull values.

Docs for SUM:

ALL - Applies the aggregate function to all values. ALL is the default.
DISTINCT - Specifies that SUM return the sum of unique values.

How to find encoding of a file via script on Linux?

you can list all files in a directory and subdirectories and the corresponding encoding.

How do I prevent site scraping?

You can't stop normal screen scraping. For better or worse, it's the nature of the web.

You can make it so no one can access certain things (including music files) unless they're logged in as a registered user. It's not too difficult to do in Apache. I assume it wouldn't be too difficult to do in IIS as well.

Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOS - tips and hints?

Since iOS 11, you can use the native framework called PDFKit for displaying and manipulating PDFs.

After importing PDFKit, you should initialize a PDFView with a local or a remote URL and display it in your view.

if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "example", withExtension: "pdf") {
    let pdfView = PDFView(frame: view.frame)
    pdfView.document = PDFDocument(url: url)
    view.addSubview(pdfView)
}

Read more about PDFKit in the Apple Developer documentation.

Get Value From Select Option in Angular 4

You just need to put [(ngModel)] on your select element:

<select class="form-control col-lg-8" #corporation required [(ngModel)]="selectedValue">

Get the string value from List<String> through loop for display

As I understand your question..

From Java List class you have to methods add(E e) and get(int position).

add(E e)

Appends the specified element to the end of this list (optional operation).

get(int index)

Returns the element at the specified position in this list.

Example:

List<String> myString = new ArrayList<String>();

// How you add your data in string list
myString.add("Test 1");
myString.add("Test 2");
myString.add("Test 3");
myString.add("Test 4");

// retrieving data from string list array in for loop
for (int i=0;i < myString.size();i++)
{
  Log.i("Value of element "+i,myString.get(i));
}

But efficient way to iterate thru loop

for (String value : myString)
{
  Log.i("Value of element ",value);
}

How to detect page zoom level in all modern browsers?

A workaround for FireFox 16+ to find DPPX (zoom level) purely with JavaScript:

var dppx = (function (precision) {
  var searchDPPX = function(level, min, divisor) {
    var wmq = window.matchMedia;
    while (level >= min && !wmq("(min-resolution: " + (level/divisor) + "dppx)").matches) {
      level--;
    }
    return level;
  };

  var maxDPPX = 5.0; // Firefox 22 has 3.0 as maximum, but testing a bit greater values does not cost much
  var minDPPX = 0.1; // Firefox 22 has 0.3 as minimum, but testing a bit smaller values does not cost anything
  var divisor = 1;
  var result;
  for (var i = 0; i < precision; i++) {
    result = 10 * searchDPPX (maxDPPX, minDPPX, divisor);
    maxDPPX = result + 9;
    minDPPX = result;
    divisor *= 10;
  }

  return result / divisor;
}) (5);

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request

You should look for the error in the file error_log in the log directory. Maybe there are differences between your local and server configuration (db user/password etc.etc.)

usually the log file is in

/var/log/apache2/error.log

or

/var/log/httpd/error.log

Sorting a Dictionary in place with respect to keys

Due to this answers high search placing I thought the LINQ OrderBy solution is worth showing:

class Person
{
    public Person(string firstname, string lastname)
    {
        FirstName = firstname;
        LastName = lastname;
    }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Dictionary<Person, int> People = new Dictionary<Person, int>();

    People.Add(new Person("John", "Doe"), 1);
    People.Add(new Person("Mary", "Poe"), 2);
    People.Add(new Person("Richard", "Roe"), 3);
    People.Add(new Person("Anne", "Roe"), 4);
    People.Add(new Person("Mark", "Moe"), 5);
    People.Add(new Person("Larry", "Loe"), 6);
    People.Add(new Person("Jane", "Doe"), 7);

    foreach (KeyValuePair<Person, int> person in People.OrderBy(i => i.Key.LastName))
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(person.Key.LastName + ", " + person.Key.FirstName + " - Id: " + person.Value.ToString());
    }
}

Output:

Doe, John - Id: 1
Doe, Jane - Id: 7
Loe, Larry - Id: 6
Moe, Mark - Id: 5
Poe, Mary - Id: 2
Roe, Richard - Id: 3
Roe, Anne - Id: 4

In this example it would make sense to also use ThenBy for first names:

foreach (KeyValuePair<Person, int> person in People.OrderBy(i => i.Key.LastName).ThenBy(i => i.Key.FirstName))

Then the output is:

Doe, Jane - Id: 7
Doe, John - Id: 1
Loe, Larry - Id: 6
Moe, Mark - Id: 5
Poe, Mary - Id: 2
Roe, Anne - Id: 4
Roe, Richard - Id: 3

LINQ also has the OrderByDescending and ThenByDescending for those that need it.

How to remove gaps between subplots in matplotlib?

With recent matplotlib versions you might want to try Constrained Layout. This does not work with plt.subplot() however, so you need to use plt.subplots() instead:

fig, axs = plt.subplots(4, 4, constrained_layout=True)

How do I install PyCrypto on Windows?

In general

vcvarsall.bat is part of the Visual C++ compiler, you need that to install what you are trying to install. Don't even try to deal with MingGW if your Python was compiled with Visual Studio toolchain and vice versa. Even the version of the Microsoft tool chain is important. Python compiled with VS 2008 won't work with extensions compiled with VS 2010!

You have to compile PyCrypto with the same compiler that the version of Python was compiled with. Google for "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" because that is the root of your problem, it is a very common problem with compiling Python extensions on Windows.

There is a lot of information and a lot to read to get this right on whatever system you are on with this link.

Beware using Visual Studio 2010 or not using Visual Studio 2008

As far as I know the following is still true. This was posted in the link above in June, 2010 referring to trying to build extensions with VS 2010 Express against the Python installers available on python.org.

Be careful if you do this. Python 2.6 and 2.7 from python.org are built with Visual Studio 2008 compilers. You will need to link with the same CRT (msvcr90.dll) as Python.

Visual Studio 2010 Express links with the wrong CRT version: msvcr100.dll.

If you do this, you must also re-build Python with Visual Studio 2010 Express. You cannot use the standard Python binary installer for Windows. Nor can you use any C/C++ extensions built with a different compiler than Visual Studio 2010 (Express).

Opinion: This is one reason I abandoned Windows for all serious development work for OSX!

How I can get and use the header file <graphics.h> in my C++ program?

graphics.h appears to something once bundled with Borland and/or Turbo C++, in the 90's.

http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/17709/88149#post88149

It's unlikely that you will find any support for that file with modern compiler. For other graphics libraries check the list of "related" questions (questions related to this one). E.g., "A Simple, 2d cross-platform graphics library for c or c++?".

PHP Constants Containing Arrays?

Using explode and implode function we can improvise a solution :

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
define('DEFAULT_ROLES', implode (',' , $array));
echo explode(',' ,DEFAULT_ROLES ) [1]; 

This will echo email.

If you want it to optimize it more you can define 2 functions to do the repetitive things for you like this :

//function to define constant
function custom_define ($const , $array) {
    define($const, implode (',' , $array));
}

//function to access constant  
function return_by_index ($index,$const = DEFAULT_ROLES) {
            $explodedResult = explode(',' ,$const ) [$index];
    if (isset ($explodedResult))
        return explode(',' ,$const ) [$index] ;
}

Hope that helps . Happy coding .

Hashmap does not work with int, char

You cannot put primitive types into collections. However, you can declare them using their corresponding object wrappers and still add the primitive values, as long as the boxing allows you.

How to debug when Kubernetes nodes are in 'Not Ready' state

First, describe nodes and see if it reports anything:

$ kubectl describe nodes

Look for conditions, capacity and allocatable:

Conditions:
  Type              Status
  ----              ------
  OutOfDisk         False
  MemoryPressure    False
  DiskPressure      False
  Ready             True
Capacity:
 cpu:       2
 memory:    2052588Ki
 pods:      110
Allocatable:
 cpu:       2
 memory:    1950188Ki
 pods:      110

If everything is alright here, SSH into the node and observe kubelet logs to see if it reports anything. Like certificate erros, authentication errors etc.

If kubelet is running as a systemd service, you can use

$ journalctl -u kubelet

How to save local data in a Swift app?

Using NSCoding and NSKeyedArchiver is another great option for data that's too complex for NSUserDefaults, but for which CoreData would be overkill. It also gives you the opportunity to manage the file structure more explicitly, which is great if you want to use encryption.

Amazon S3 exception: "The specified key does not exist"

For me, the object definitely existed and was uploaded correctly, however, its s3 url still threw the same error:

<Code>NoSuchKey</Code>
<Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message>

I found out that the reason was because my filename contained a # symbol, and I guess certain characters or symbols will also cause this error.

Removing this character and generating the new s3 url resolved my issue.

How do I convert this list of dictionaries to a csv file?

import csv
toCSV = [{'name':'bob','age':25,'weight':200},
         {'name':'jim','age':31,'weight':180}]
header=['name','age','weight']     
try:
   with open('output'+str(date.today())+'.csv',mode='w',encoding='utf8',newline='') as output_to_csv:
       dict_csv_writer = csv.DictWriter(output_to_csv, fieldnames=header,dialect='excel')
       dict_csv_writer.writeheader()
       dict_csv_writer.writerows(toCSV)
   print('\nData exported to csv succesfully and sample data')
except IOError as io:
    print('\n',io)

How do I replace a double-quote with an escape-char double-quote in a string using JavaScript?

The other answers will work for most strings, but you can end up unescaping an already escaped double quote, which is probably not what you want.

To work correctly, you are going to need to escape all backslashes and then escape all double quotes, like this:

var test_str = '"first \\" middle \\" last "';
var result = test_str.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\').replace(/\"/g, '\\"');

depending on how you need to use the string, and the other escaped charaters involved, this may still have some issues, but I think it will probably work in most cases.

How to elegantly check if a number is within a range?

I was looking for an elegant way to do it where the bounds might be switched (ie. not sure which order the values are in).

This will only work on newer versions of C# where the ?: exists

bool ValueWithinBounds(float val, float bounds1, float bounds2)
{
    return bounds1 >= bounds2 ?
      val <= bounds1 && val >= bounds2 : 
      val <= bounds2 && val >= bounds1;
}

Obviously you could change the = signs in there for your purposes. Could get fancy with type casting too. I just needed a float return within bounds (or equal to)

How do I generate sourcemaps when using babel and webpack?

On Webpack 2 I tried all 12 devtool options. The following options link to the original file in the console and preserve line numbers. See the note below re: lines only.

lines only

Source Maps are simplified to a single mapping per line. This usually means a single mapping per statement (assuming you author is this way). This prevents you from debugging execution on statement level and from settings breakpoints on columns of a line. Combining with minimizing is not possible as minimizers usually only emit a single line.

REVISITING THIS

On a large project I find ... eval-source-map rebuild time is ~3.5s ... inline-source-map rebuild time is ~7s

Understanding events and event handlers in C#

Here is a code example which may help:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace Event_Example
{
  // First we have to define a delegate that acts as a signature for the
  // function that is ultimately called when the event is triggered.
  // You will notice that the second parameter is of MyEventArgs type.
  // This object will contain information about the triggered event.

  public delegate void MyEventHandler(object source, MyEventArgs e);

  // This is a class which describes the event to the class that receives it.
  // An EventArgs class must always derive from System.EventArgs.

  public class MyEventArgs : EventArgs
  {
    private string EventInfo;

    public MyEventArgs(string Text) {
      EventInfo = Text;
    }

    public string GetInfo() {
      return EventInfo;
    }
  }

  // This next class is the one which contains an event and triggers it
  // once an action is performed. For example, lets trigger this event
  // once a variable is incremented over a particular value. Notice the
  // event uses the MyEventHandler delegate to create a signature
  // for the called function.

  public class MyClass
  {
    public event MyEventHandler OnMaximum;

    private int i;
    private int Maximum = 10;

    public int MyValue
    {
      get { return i; }
      set
      {
        if(value <= Maximum) {
          i = value;
        }
        else 
        {
          // To make sure we only trigger the event if a handler is present
          // we check the event to make sure it's not null.
          if(OnMaximum != null) {
            OnMaximum(this, new MyEventArgs("You've entered " +
              value.ToString() +
              ", but the maximum is " +
              Maximum.ToString()));
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

  class Program
  {
    // This is the actual method that will be assigned to the event handler
    // within the above class. This is where we perform an action once the
    // event has been triggered.

    static void MaximumReached(object source, MyEventArgs e) {
      Console.WriteLine(e.GetInfo());
    }

    static void Main(string[] args) {
      // Now lets test the event contained in the above class.
      MyClass MyObject = new MyClass();
      MyObject.OnMaximum += new MyEventHandler(MaximumReached);
      for(int x = 0; x <= 15; x++) {
        MyObject.MyValue = x;
      }
      Console.ReadLine();
    }
  }
}

How to check status of PostgreSQL server Mac OS X

As of PostgreSQL 9.3, you can use the command pg_isready to determine the connection status of a PostgreSQL server.

From the docs:

pg_isready returns 0 to the shell if the server is accepting connections normally, 1 if the server is rejecting connections (for example during startup), 2 if there was no response to the connection attempt, and 3 if no attempt was made (for example due to invalid parameters).

What's the best way to detect a 'touch screen' device using JavaScript?

The biggest "gotcha" with trying to detect touch is on hybrid devices that support both touch and the trackpad/mouse. Even if you're able to correctly detect whether the user's device supports touch, what you really need to do is detect what input device the user is currently using. There's a detailed write up of this challenge and a possible solution here.

Basically the approach to figuring out whether a user just touched the screen or used a mouse/ trackpad instead is to register both a touchstart and mouseover event on the page:

document.addEventListener('touchstart', functionref, false) // on user tap, "touchstart" fires first
document.addEventListener('mouseover', functionref, false) // followed by mouse event, ie: "mouseover"

A touch action will trigger both of these events, though the former (touchstart) always first on most devices. So counting on this predictable sequence of events, you can create a mechanism that dynamically adds or removes a can-touch class to the document root to reflect the current input type of the user at this moment on the document:

;(function(){
    var isTouch = false //var to indicate current input type (is touch versus no touch) 
    var isTouchTimer 
    var curRootClass = '' //var indicating current document root class ("can-touch" or "")
     
    function addtouchclass(e){
        clearTimeout(isTouchTimer)
        isTouch = true
        if (curRootClass != 'can-touch'){ //add "can-touch' class if it's not already present
            curRootClass = 'can-touch'
            document.documentElement.classList.add(curRootClass)
        }
        isTouchTimer = setTimeout(function(){isTouch = false}, 500) //maintain "istouch" state for 500ms so removetouchclass doesn't get fired immediately following a touch event
    }
     
    function removetouchclass(e){
        if (!isTouch && curRootClass == 'can-touch'){ //remove 'can-touch' class if not triggered by a touch event and class is present
            isTouch = false
            curRootClass = ''
            document.documentElement.classList.remove('can-touch')
        }
    }
     
    document.addEventListener('touchstart', addtouchclass, false) //this event only gets called when input type is touch
    document.addEventListener('mouseover', removetouchclass, false) //this event gets called when input type is everything from touch to mouse/ trackpad
})();

What is the purpose of .PHONY in a Makefile?

I often use them to tell the default target not to fire.

superclean: clean andsomethingelse

blah: superclean

clean:
   @echo clean

%:
   @echo catcher $@

.PHONY: superclean

Without PHONY, make superclean would fire clean, andsomethingelse, and catcher superclean; but with PHONY, make superclean won't fire the catcher superclean.

We don't have to worry about telling make the clean target is PHONY, because it isn't completely phony. Though it never produces the clean file, it has commands to fire so make will think it's a final target.

However, the superclean target really is phony, so make will try to stack it up with anything else that provides deps for the superclean target — this includes other superclean targets and the % target.

Note that we don't say anything at all about andsomethingelse or blah, so they clearly go to the catcher.

The output looks something like this:

$ make clean
clean

$ make superclean
clean
catcher andsomethingelse

$ make blah 
clean
catcher andsomethingelse
catcher blah

Preloading images with JavaScript

Yes this will work, however browsers will limit(between 4-8) the actual calls and thus not cache/preload all desired images.

A better way to do this is to call onload before using the image like so:

function (imageUrls, index) {  
    var img = new Image();

    img.onload = function () {
        console.log('isCached: ' + isCached(imageUrls[index]));
        *DoSomething..*

    img.src = imageUrls[index]
}

function isCached(imgUrl) {
    var img = new Image();
    img.src = imgUrl;
    return img.complete || (img .width + img .height) > 0;
}

How to access route, post, get etc. parameters in Zend Framework 2

The easiest way to do that would be to use the Params plugin, introduced in beta5. It has utility methods to make it easy to access different types of parameters. As always, reading the tests can prove valuable to understand how something is supposed to be used.

Get a single value

To get the value of a named parameter in a controller, you will need to select the appropriate method for the type of parameter you are looking for and pass in the name.

Examples:

$this->params()->fromPost('paramname');   // From POST
$this->params()->fromQuery('paramname');  // From GET
$this->params()->fromRoute('paramname');  // From RouteMatch
$this->params()->fromHeader('paramname'); // From header
$this->params()->fromFiles('paramname');  // From file being uploaded

 

Default values

All of these methods also support default values that will be returned if no parameter with the given name is found.

Example:

$orderBy = $this->params()->fromQuery('orderby', 'name');

When visiting http://example.com/?orderby=birthdate, $orderBy will have the value birthdate.
When visiting http://example.com/, $orderBy will have the default value name.
 

Get all parameters

To get all parameters of one type, just don't pass in anything and the Params plugin will return an array of values with their names as keys.

Example:

$allGetValues = $this->params()->fromQuery(); // empty method call

When visiting http://example.com/?orderby=birthdate&filter=hasphone $allGetValues will be an array like

array(
    'orderby' => 'birthdate',
    'filter'  => 'hasphone',
);

 

Not using Params plugin

If you check the source code for the Params plugin, you will see that it's just a thin wrapper around other controllers to allow for more consistent parameter retrieval. If you for some reason want/need to access them directly, you can see in the source code how it's done.

Example:

$this->getRequest()->getRequest('name', 'default');
$this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('name', 'default');

NOTE: You could have used the superglobals $_GET, $_POST etc., but that is discouraged.

Oracle's default date format is YYYY-MM-DD, WHY?

To answer to your question that is WHY default date don't display TIME part, the only answer I find is

Oracle teams are composed of LAZY developpers or responsibles :-)

Why ?

Because DATE, TIME and DATETIME datatypes exist in SQL and Oracle has not yet implemented it !!!

It is a shame for Oracle.

But the correct answer to your problem is not to define a FIX default format but a SIGNIFICANT default format that display only significant digits so that DATE, TIME or DATETIME values displayed (by default) contains always all important digits.

Example:

2015-10-14          will be displayed as 2015-10-14 (or default DATE format)
2018-10-25 12:20:00 will be displayed as 2018-10-25 12:20
1994-04-16 16       will be displayed as 1994-04-16 16

The principle is simple.

All digits being part of DATE will always be displayed as INTEGER part of float number. For TIME part, only significant part will be displayed as for DECIMAL part in float number. Naturally, for TIME type (only HH:MM:SS), the DATE part is never displayed.

How do I put hint in a asp:textbox

The placeholder attribute

You're looking for the placeholder attribute. Use it like any other attribute inside your ASP.net control:

<asp:textbox id="txtWithHint" placeholder="hint" runat="server"/>

Don't bother about your IDE (i.e. Visual Studio) maybe not knowing the attribute. Attributes which are not registered with ASP.net are passed through and rendered as is. So the above code (basically) renders to:

<input type="text" placeholder="hint"/>

Using placeholder in resources

A fine way of applying the hint to the control is using resources. This way you may have localized hints. Let's say you have an index.aspx file, your App_LocalResources/index.aspx.resx file contains

<data name="WithHint.placeholder">
    <value>hint</value>
</data>

and your control looks like

<asp:textbox id="txtWithHint" meta:resourcekey="WithHint" runat="server"/>

the rendered result will look the same as the one in the chapter above.

Add attribute in code behind

Like any other attribute you can add the placeholder to the AttributeCollection:

txtWithHint.Attributes.Add("placeholder", "hint");

Convert an integer to an array of digits

You don't need to convert int to String. Just use % 10 to get the last digit and then divide your int by 10 to get to the next one.

int temp = test;
ArrayList<Integer> array = new ArrayList<Integer>();
do{
    array.add(temp % 10);
    temp /= 10;
} while  (temp > 0);

This will leave you with ArrayList containing your digits in reverse order. You can easily revert it if it's required and convert it to int[].

How to convert color code into media.brush?

For simplicity you could create an extension:-

    public static SolidColorBrush ToSolidColorBrush(this string hex_code)
    {
        return (SolidColorBrush)new BrushConverter().ConvertFromString(hex_code);
    }

And then to use:-

 SolidColorBrush accentBlue = "#3CACDC".ToSolidColorBrush();

How to remove all the occurrences of a char in c++ string

This code removes repetition of characters i.e, if the input is aaabbcc then the output will be abc. (the array must be sorted for this code to work)

cin >> s;
ans = "";
ans += s[0];
for(int i = 1;i < s.length();++i)
if(s[i] != s[i-1])
    ans += s[i];
cout << ans << endl;

How to generate range of numbers from 0 to n in ES2015 only?

So, in this case, it would be nice if Number object would behave like an Array object with the spread operator.

For instance Array object used with the spread operator:

let foo = [0,1,2,3];
console.log(...foo) // returns 0 1 2 3

It works like this because Array object has a built-in iterator.
In our case, we need a Number object to have a similar functionality:

[...3] //should return [0,1,2,3]

To do that we can simply create Number iterator for that purpose.

Number.prototype[Symbol.iterator] = function *() {
   for(let i = 0; i <= this; i++)
       yield i;
}

Now it is possible to create ranges from 0 to N with the spread operator.

[...N] // now returns 0 ... N array

Leverage browser caching, how on apache or .htaccess?

This is what I use to control headers/caching, I'm not an Apache pro, so let me know if there is room for improvement, but I know that this has been working well on all of my sites for some time now.

Mod_expires

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_expires.html

This module controls the setting of the Expires HTTP header and the max-age directive of the Cache-Control HTTP header in server responses. The expiration date can set to be relative to either the time the source file was last modified, or to the time of the client access.

These HTTP headers are an instruction to the client about the document's validity and persistence. If cached, the document may be fetched from the cache rather than from the source until this time has passed. After that, the cache copy is considered "expired" and invalid, and a new copy must be obtained from the source.

# BEGIN Expires
<ifModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
</ifModule>
# END Expires

Mod_headers

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_headers.html

This module provides directives to control and modify HTTP request and response headers. Headers can be merged, replaced or removed.

# BEGIN Caching
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
<filesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">

</filesMatch>
<filesMatch "\.(xml|txt)$">

</filesMatch>
</ifModule>
# END Caching

Making sure at least one checkbox is checked

I would opt for a more functional approach. Since ES6 we have been given such nice tools to solve our problems, so why not use them. Let's begin with giving the checkboxes a class so we can round them up very nicely. I prefer to use a class instead of input[type="checkbox"] because now the solution is more generic and can be used also when you have more groups of checkboxes in your document.

HTML

    <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" value=ck1 /> ck1<br />
    <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" value=ck2 /> ck2<br />

JavaScript

function atLeastOneCheckboxIsChecked(){
    const checkboxes = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".checkbox"));
    return checkboxes.reduce((acc, curr) => acc || curr.checked, false);
}

When called, the function will return false if no checkbox has been checked and true if one or both is.

It works as follows, the reducer function has two arguments, the accumulator (acc) and the current value (curr). For every iteration over the array, the reducer will return true if either the accumulator or the current value is true. the return value of the previous iteration is the accumulator of the current iteration, therefore, if it ever is true, it will stay true until the end.

Import JavaScript file and call functions using webpack, ES6, ReactJS

Named exports:

Let's say you create a file called utils.js, with utility functions that you want to make available for other modules (e.g. a React component). Then you would make each function a named export:

export function add(x, y) {
  return x + y
}

export function mutiply(x, y) {
  return x * y
}

Assuming that utils.js is located in the same directory as your React component, you can use its exports like this:

import { add, multiply } from './utils.js';
...
add(2, 3) // Can be called wherever in your component, and would return 5.

Or if you prefer, place the entire module's contents under a common namespace:

import * as utils from './utils.js'; 
...
utils.multiply(2,3)

Default exports:

If you on the other hand have a module that only does one thing (could be a React class, a normal function, a constant, or anything else) and want to make that thing available to others, you can use a default export. Let's say we have a file log.js, with only one function that logs out whatever argument it's called with:

export default function log(message) {
  console.log(message);
}

This can now be used like this:

import log from './log.js';
...
log('test') // Would print 'test' in the console.

You don't have to call it log when you import it, you could actually call it whatever you want:

import logToConsole from './log.js';
...
logToConsole('test') // Would also print 'test' in the console.

Combined:

A module can have both a default export (max 1), and named exports (imported either one by one, or using * with an alias). React actually has this, consider:

import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';

Retrieving an element from array list in Android?

In arraylist you have a positional order and not a nominal order, so you need to know in advance the element position you need to select or you must loop between elements until you find the element that you need to use. To do this you can use an iterator and an if, for example:

Iterator iter = list.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext())
{
    // if here          
    System.out.println("string " + iter.next());
}

$on and $broadcast in angular

If you want to $broadcast use the $rootScope:

$scope.startScanner = function() {

    $rootScope.$broadcast('scanner-started');
}

And then to receive, use the $scope of your controller:

$scope.$on('scanner-started', function(event, args) {

    // do what you want to do
});

If you want you can pass arguments when you $broadcast:

$rootScope.$broadcast('scanner-started', { any: {} });

And then receive them:

$scope.$on('scanner-started', function(event, args) {

    var anyThing = args.any;
    // do what you want to do
});

Documentation for this inside the Scope docs.

How to read a text file into a string variable and strip newlines?

Try the following:

with open('data.txt', 'r') as myfile:
    data = myfile.read()

    sentences = data.split('\\n')
    for sentence in sentences:
        print(sentence)

Caution: It does not remove the \n. It is just for viewing the text as if there were no \n

AppFabric installation failed because installer MSI returned with error code : 1603

So, I was having the same issue. The main reason I am installing Appfabric is to create a SharePoint 2013 development server.
What did not work:

  • Updating the Environmental Variable PSModulePath - did not work. Still recieved the 1603 error after running the setup agian.
  • tried to find the registry entries. Could not find them.

What worked for me to get Appfrabic installed was installing from the setup file via powershell. Woo hoo! It worked for me! This is the link I retrieved the commands from: Installing AppFabric 1.1 with PowerShell DSC results in modal dialog error

        Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\appfabric\setup.exe' -ArgumentList '/i cacheclient","cachingService","CacheAdmin /gac /l c:\temp\appfabric.log' -Wait | Write-verbose

I hope this helps others with the same issue.

How can I rollback a git repository to a specific commit?

In github, the easy way is to delete the remote branch in the github UI, under branches tab. You have to make sure remove following settings to make the branch deletable:

  1. Not a default branch
  2. No opening poll requests.
  3. The branch is not protected.

Now recreate it in your local repository to point to the previous commit point. and add it back to remote repo.

git checkout -b master 734c2b9b   # replace with your commit point

Then push the local branch to remote

git push -u origin master

Add back the default branch and branch protection, etc.

How to create a blank/empty column with SELECT query in oracle?

In DB2, using single quotes instead of your double quotes will work. So that could translate the same in Oracle..

SELECT CustomerName AS Customer, '' AS Contact 
FROM Customers;

Easier way for me is to switch to R1C1 notation and just use R[-1]C1 and switch back when done.

Text file in VBA: Open/Find Replace/SaveAs/Close File

Just add this line

sFileName = "C:\someotherfilelocation"

right before this line

Open sFileName For Output As iFileNum

The idea is to open and write to a different file than the one you read earlier (C:\filelocation).

If you want to get fancy and show a real "Save As" dialog box, you could do this instead:

sFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename()

Does a "Find in project..." feature exist in Eclipse IDE?

CTRL + H is actually the right answer, but the scope in which it was pressed is actually pretty important. When you have last clicked on file you're working on, you'll get a different search window - Java Search: enter image description here

Whereas when you select directory on Package Explorer and then press Ctrl + H (or choose Search -> File.. from main menu), you get the desired window - File Search: enter image description here

How can I use "e" (Euler's number) and power operation in python 2.7

Just saying: numpy has this too. So no need to import math if you already did import numpy as np:

>>> np.exp(1)

what is the difference between GROUP BY and ORDER BY in sql

The difference is exactly what the name implies: a group by performs a grouping operation, and an order by sorts.

If you do SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY Name then you get the result list sorted by the customers name.

If you do SELECT IsActive, COUNT(*) FROM Customers GROUP BY IsActive you get a count of active and inactive customers. The group by aggregated the results based on the field you specified.

How to remove a web site from google analytics

UPDATED ANSWER

Google Analytics Admin panel has 3 panels, wherein deleting can be done on any of the following :

  1. Account (Contains multiple properties, and views)
  2. Properties (Contains Views, a subset of Account)
  3. Views (subset of properties)

Google Analytics Admin Panel


Deleting an Account

Deleting the account, will remove all data pertaining to that account, along with all properties/profiles it contains. This is (usually) as good as removing the entire website data.

To delete the account, follow the following steps : (refer to image below)

  • Choose the account you want to delete.

Choose the account you want to delete

  • Click on Account Settings

Click Account Settings

  • Bottom right, a small link that says delete this account.

Delete account

  • You will get a confirmation, if you are sure to, click Delete Account
  • It will give you details, and will confirm deletion (and provide additional info like to remove GA snippet on your website, etc)

Note : If you have multiple accounts linked with your login, the other accounts are NOT touched, only this account will be deleted.


Deleting a property

Deleting a property will remove the selected property, and all the views it holds. To delete a property, delete all views it contains individually (see below for deleting views)

  • Choose the property

Property choice

  • All profiles related to that property appear on the right
  • Delete all the views related to the property individually (details in next section).

Deleting a View (profile)

Deleting a profile will remove only data pertaining to that view, if there is a single profile, the property is automatically deleted.

  • Choose the profile you want to delete

Choose profile

  • Click View Settings

Settings

  • Click on delete View (Bottom right)

Delete the view

  • Click Confirm, and that view will be deleted. If there is only a single view in the property, that property gets automatically deleted.

I want to keep the data, but not see them in the list

Sometimes you have a lot of websites, which you want to keep the data, but remove them from the list, since you don't view them often. I thought of a workaround, in case you do not want to delete the data.

Use another account.

  1. Say, your primary account is A, and you make another account B.
  2. Make B an administrator from A
  3. Remove A

Since A was your primary account, you no longer will be able to access it from the list!
And you still have your data saved, just that you'll have to log in via the other (spare) account.


Previous Answer :

These are the steps to delete a profile from Google Support page :

Delete profiles

Remember, too, that when you delete a profile, you also delete all data associated with that profile, and it is not possible to retrieve that deleted data.

To delete a profile:

  1. Click the Admin tab at the top right of any Analytics page.
  2. Click the account that contains the profile you want to delete.
  3. Click the web property from which you want to delete the profile.
  4. Use the Profile menu to select the profile.
  5. Click the Profile Settings tab.
  6. Click Delete this profile at the bottom of the page.
  7. Click Delete in the confirmation message.

Read/write to file using jQuery

Use javascript's execCommand('SaveAs', false, filename); functionality

Edit: No longer works. This Javascript function used to work across all browsers, but now only on IE, due to browser security considerations. It presented a "Save As" Dialog to the user who runs this function through their browser, the user presses OK and the file is saved by javascript on the server side.

Now this code is an rare antique zero day collectible.

// content is the data (a string) you'll write to file.
// filename is a string filename to write to on server side.
// This function uses iFrame as a buffer, it fills it up with your content
// and prompts the user to save it out.
function save_content_to_file(content, filename){
    var dlg = false;
    with(document){
     ir=createElement('iframe');
     ir.id='ifr';
     ir.location='about.blank';
     ir.style.display='none';
     body.appendChild(ir);
      with(getElementById('ifr').contentWindow.document){
           open("text/plain", "replace");
           charset = "utf-8";
           write(content);
           close();
           document.charset = "utf-8";
           dlg = execCommand('SaveAs', false, filename);
       }
       body.removeChild(ir);
     }
    return dlg;
}

Invoke the function like this:

msg =  "I am the president of tautology club.";
save_content_to_file(msg, "C:\\test");

Get the time difference between two datetimes

I create a simple function with typescript

const diffDuration: moment.Duration = moment.duration(moment('2017-09-04 12:55').diff(moment('2017-09-02 13:26')));
setDiffTimeString(diffDuration);

function setDiffTimeString(diffDuration: moment.Duration) {
  const str = [];
  diffDuration.years() > 0 ? str.push(`${diffDuration.years()} year(s)`) : null;
  diffDuration.months() > 0 ? str.push(`${diffDuration.months()} month(s)`) : null;
  diffDuration.days() > 0 ? str.push(`${diffDuration.days()} day(s)`) : null;
  diffDuration.hours() > 0 ? str.push(`${diffDuration.hours()} hour(s)`) : null;
  diffDuration.minutes() > 0 ? str.push(`${diffDuration.minutes()} minute(s)`) : null;
  console.log(str.join(', '));
} 
// output: 1 day(s), 23 hour(s), 29 minute(s)
