How to set environment variable for everyone under my linux system?

Every process running under the Linux kernel receives its own, unique environment that it inherits from its parent. In this case, the parent will be either a shell itself (spawning a sub shell), or the 'login' program (on a typical system).

As each process' environment is protected, there is no way to 'inject' an environmental variable to every running process, so even if you modify the default shell .rc / profile, it won't go into effect until each process exits and reloads its start up settings.

Look in /etc/ to modify the default start up variables for any particular shell. Just realize that users can (and often do) change them in their individual settings.

Unix is designed to obey the user, within limits.

NB: Bash is not the only shell on your system. Pay careful attention to what the /bin/sh symbolic link actually points to. On many systems, this could actually be dash which is (by default, with no special invocation) POSIXLY correct. Therefore, you should take care to modify both defaults, or scripts that start with /bin/sh will not inherit your global defaults. Similarly, take care to avoid syntax that only bash understands when editing both, aka avoiding bashisms.

Jquery: how to trigger click event on pressing enter key

Another addition to make:

If you're dynamically adding an input, for example using append(), you must use the jQuery on() function.

$('#parent').on('keydown', '#input', function (e) {
    var key = e.which;
    if(key == 13) {
        alert("enter");
        $('#button').click();
        return false;
    }
});

UPDATE:

An even more efficient way of doing this would be to use a switch statement. You may find it cleaner, too.

Markup:

<div class="my-form">
  <input id="my-input" type="text">
</div>

jQuery:

$('.my-form').on('keydown', '#my-input', function (e) {
  var key = e.which;
  switch (key) {
  case 13: // enter
    alert('Enter key pressed.');
    break;
  default:
    break;
  }
});

Eclipse error: "The import XXX cannot be resolved"

In order to download non-existing jar file in your .m2 directory, you should run mvn clean install command for your project pom.xml. Then you should update the project dependencies by clicking Alt+F5. This works for me!

MySQL Fire Trigger for both Insert and Update

In response to @Zxaos request, since we can not have AND/OR operators for MySQL triggers, starting with your code, below is a complete example to achieve the same.

1. Define the INSERT trigger:

DELIMITER //
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS my_insert_trigger//
CREATE DEFINER=root@localhost TRIGGER my_insert_trigger
    AFTER INSERT ON `table`
    FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN
    -- Call the common procedure ran if there is an INSERT or UPDATE on `table`
    -- NEW.id is an example parameter passed to the procedure but is not required
    -- if you do not need to pass anything to your procedure.
    CALL procedure_to_run_processes_due_to_changes_on_table(NEW.id);
END//
DELIMITER ;

2. Define the UPDATE trigger

DELIMITER //
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS my_update_trigger//

CREATE DEFINER=root@localhost TRIGGER my_update_trigger
    AFTER UPDATE ON `table`
    FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    -- Call the common procedure ran if there is an INSERT or UPDATE on `table`
    CALL procedure_to_run_processes_due_to_changes_on_table(NEW.id);
END//
DELIMITER ;

3. Define the common PROCEDURE used by both these triggers:

DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS procedure_to_run_processes_due_to_changes_on_table//

CREATE DEFINER=root@localhost PROCEDURE procedure_to_run_processes_due_to_changes_on_table(IN table_row_id VARCHAR(255))
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN

    -- Write your MySQL code to perform when a `table` row is inserted or updated here

END//
DELIMITER ;

You note that I take care to restore the delimiter when I am done with my business defining the triggers and procedure.

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

The command has to be entered in the directory of the repository. The error is complaining that your current directory isn't a git repo

  1. Are you in the right directory? Does typing ls show the right files?
  2. Have you initialized the repository yet? Typed git init? (git-init documentation)

Either of those would cause your error.

Compare 2 JSON objects

Simply parsing the JSON and comparing the two objects is not enough because it wouldn't be the exact same object references (but might be the same values).

You need to do a deep equals.

From http://threebit.net/mail-archive/rails-spinoffs/msg06156.html - which seems the use jQuery.

Object.extend(Object, {
   deepEquals: function(o1, o2) {
     var k1 = Object.keys(o1).sort();
     var k2 = Object.keys(o2).sort();
     if (k1.length != k2.length) return false;
     return k1.zip(k2, function(keyPair) {
       if(typeof o1[keyPair[0]] == typeof o2[keyPair[1]] == "object"){
         return deepEquals(o1[keyPair[0]], o2[keyPair[1]])
       } else {
         return o1[keyPair[0]] == o2[keyPair[1]];
       }
     }).all();
   }
});

Usage:

var anObj = JSON.parse(jsonString1);
var anotherObj= JSON.parse(jsonString2);

if (Object.deepEquals(anObj, anotherObj))

Android ListView with different layouts for each row

I know how to create a custom row + custom array adapter to support a custom row for the entire list view. But how can one listview support many different row styles?

You already know the basics. You just need to get your custom adapter to return a different layout/view based on the row/cursor information being provided.

A ListView can support multiple row styles because it derives from AdapterView:

An AdapterView is a view whose children are determined by an Adapter.

If you look at the Adapter, you'll see methods that account for using row-specific views:

abstract int getViewTypeCount()
// Returns the number of types of Views that will be created ...

abstract int getItemViewType(int position)
// Get the type of View that will be created ...

abstract View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
// Get a View that displays the data ...

The latter two methods provide the position so you can use that to determine the type of view you should use for that row.


Of course, you generally don't use AdapterView and Adapter directly, but rather use or derive from one of their subclasses. The subclasses of Adapter may add additional functionality that change how to get custom layouts for different rows. Since the view used for a given row is driven by the adapter, the trick is to get the adapter to return the desired view for a given row. How to do this differs depending on the specific adapter.

For example, to use ArrayAdapter,

  • override getView() to inflate, populate, and return the desired view for the given position. The getView() method includes an opportunity reuse views via the convertView parameter.

But to use derivatives of CursorAdapter,

  • override newView() to inflate, populate, and return the desired view for the current cursor state (i.e. the current "row") [you also need to override bindView so that widget can reuse views]

However, to use SimpleCursorAdapter,

  • define a SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder with a setViewValue() method to inflate, populate, and return the desired view for a given row (current cursor state) and data "column". The method can define just the "special" views and defer to SimpleCursorAdapter's standard behavior for the "normal" bindings.

Look up the specific examples/tutorials for the kind of adapter you end up using.

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I just had this issue building react-native app when I try to install Pod. I had to export 2 variables:

export CC=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc
CPP='/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc -E'

Add Keypair to existing EC2 instance

You can just add a new key to the instance by the following command:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub domain_alias

You can configure domain_alias in ~/.ssh config

host domain_alias
  User ubuntu
  Hostname domain.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ec2.pem

Converting strings to floats in a DataFrame

In a newer version of pandas (0.17 and up), you can use to_numeric function. It allows you to convert the whole dataframe or just individual columns. It also gives you an ability to select how to treat stuff that can't be converted to numeric values:

import pandas as pd
s = pd.Series(['1.0', '2', -3])
pd.to_numeric(s)
s = pd.Series(['apple', '1.0', '2', -3])
pd.to_numeric(s, errors='ignore')
pd.to_numeric(s, errors='coerce')

AngularJS is rendering <br> as text not as a newline

You can use \n to concatenate words and then apply this style to container div.

style="white-space: pre;"

What is the 'dynamic' type in C# 4.0 used for?

  1. You can call into dynamic languages such as CPython using pythonnet:

dynamic np = Py.Import("numpy")

  1. You can cast generics to dynamic when applying numerical operators on them. This provides type safety and avoids limitations of generics. This is in essence *duck typing:

T y = x * (dynamic)x, where typeof(x) is T

How can I convert a char to int in Java?

You can use static methods from Character class to get Numeric value from char.

char x = '9';

if (Character.isDigit(x)) { // Determines if the specified character is a digit.
    int y = Character.getNumericValue(x); //Returns the int value that the 
                                          //specified Unicode character represents.
    System.out.println(y);
}

What's the best way to get the last element of an array without deleting it?

To do this and avoid the E_STRICT and not mess with the array's internal pointer you can use:

function lelement($array) {return end($array);}

$last_element = lelement($array);

lelement only works with a copy so it doesn't affect the array's pointer.

$client->setApplicationName('your application name');
$client->setClientId('****************');
$client->setClientSecret('************');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://your.website.tld/complete/url2redirect');
$client->setScopes('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email');
## these two lines is important to get refresh token from google api
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApprovalPrompt('force'); # this line is important when you revoke permission from your app, it will prompt google approval dialogue box forcefully to user to grant offline access

What is a "web service" in plain English?

A simple definition: A web service is a function that can be accessed by other programs over the web (HTTP).

For example, when you create a website in PHP that outputs HTML, its target is the browser and by extension the human reading the page in the browser. A web service is not targeted at humans but rather at other programs.

So your PHP site that generates a random integer could be a web service if it outputs the integer in a format that may be consumed by another program. It might be in an XML format or another format, as long as other programs can understand the output.

The full definition is obviously more complex but you asked for plain English.

Can you have multiple $(document).ready(function(){ ... }); sections?

You can even nest document ready functions inside included html files. Here's an example using jquery:

File: test_main.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <script src="jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="main-container">
        <h1>test_main.html</h1>
    </div>

<script>
    $(document).ready( function()
    {
        console.log( 'test_main.html READY' );
        $("#main-container").load("test_embed.html");
    } );
</script>

</body>
</html>

File: test_embed.html

<h1>test_embed.html</h1>
<script>
    $(document).ready( function()
    {
        console.log( 'test_embed.html READY' );
    } );
</script>

Console output:

test_main.html READY                       test_main.html:15
test_embed.html READY                      (program):4

Browser shows:

test_embed.html

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.facebook.sdk error 2.) ios6

I had the same issue and took a whole day to figure out the problem. This error message by Facebook SDK is very vague. I had this problem due to openURL: method being overwritten in MyApplication. I removed the overwritten method and facebook login worked fine.

Convert Month Number to Month Name Function in SQL

This one worked for me:

@MetricMonthNumber (some number)

SELECT 
(DateName( month , DateAdd( month , @MetricMonthNumber - 1 , '1900-01-01' ) )) AS MetricMonthName
FROM TableName

From a post above from @leoinfo and @Valentino Vranken. Just did a quick select and it works.

Variable length (Dynamic) Arrays in Java

How about using a List instead? For example, ArrayList<integer>

Check if image exists on server using JavaScript?

If anyone comes to this page looking to do this in a React-based client, you can do something like the below, which was an answer original provided by Sophia Alpert of the React team here

getInitialState: function(event) {

},
handleError: function(event) {
    this.setState({image: "http://example.com/failover_image.jpg"});
},
render: function() {
    return (
        <img onError={this.handleError} src={src} />;
    );
}

Is it possible to disable scrolling on a ViewPager

In my case of using ViewPager 2 alpha 2 the below snippet works

viewPager.isUserInputEnabled = false

Ability to disable user input (setUserInputEnabled, isUserInputEnabled)

refer to this for more changes in viewpager2 1.0.0-alpha02

Also some changes were made latest version ViewPager 2 alpha 4

orientation and isUserScrollable attributes are no longer part of SavedState

refer to this for more changes in viewpager2#1.0.0-alpha04

How can I output leading zeros in Ruby?

Use String#next as the counter.

>> n = "000"
>> 3.times { puts "file_#{n.next!}" }
file_001
file_002
file_003

next is relatively 'clever', meaning you can even go for

>> n = "file_000"
>> 3.times { puts n.next! }
file_001
file_002
file_003

Making a <button> that's a link in HTML

A little bit easier and it looks exactly like the button in the form. Just use the input and wrap the anchor tag around it.

<a href="#"><input type="button" value="Button Text"></a>

Pandas: rolling mean by time interval

visualize the rolling averages to see if it makes sense. I don't understand why sum was used when the rolling average was requested.

  df=pd.read_csv('poll.csv',parse_dates=['enddate'],dtype={'favorable':np.float,'unfavorable':np.float,'other':np.float})

  df.set_index('enddate')
  df=df.fillna(0)

 fig, axs = plt.subplots(figsize=(5,10))
 df.plot(x='enddate', ax=axs)
 plt.show()


 df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=3).mean().plot()
 plt.show()
 print("The larger the window coefficient the smoother the line will appear")
 print('The min_periods is the minimum number of observations in the window required to have a value')

 df.rolling(window=6,min_periods=3).mean().plot()
 plt.show()

How can I save application settings in a Windows Forms application?

The registry is a no-go. You're not sure whether the user which uses your application, has sufficient rights to write to the registry.

You can use the app.config file to save application-level settings (that are the same for each user who uses your application).

I would store user-specific settings in an XML file, which would be saved in Isolated Storage or in the SpecialFolder.ApplicationData directory.

Next to that, as from .NET 2.0, it is possible to store values back to the app.config file.

What are ABAP and SAP?

I have worked with SAP since 1998. SAP is a type of software called ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) that large companies use to manage their day to day affairs. On the macro, the software can be split into two categories: Technical and Functional

Let's go Technical first, as it answers the "What is ABAP" part of your question.

Technical

There are two technical "stacks" within the SAP software, the first is the ABAP stack which is inclusive of all the original technology that SAP was. ABAP is the proprietary coding language for SAP to develop RICEFW objects (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Extensions, Forms and Workflows) within the ABAP stack.

The ABAP stack is traditionally navigated via Transaction Codes (T-Codes) to take you to different screens within the SAP Environment. From a technical perspective, you will do all of your performance and tuning of the WORK PROCESSES in the SAP system here, as well as configuring all of the system RFCs, building user profiles and also doing the necessary interfacing between the OS (usually Windows or HPUX) and the Oracle Database (currently Enterprise 11g).

The JAVA stack controls the "Netweaver" aspect of SAP which encapsulates SAP's ability to be accessed via the Internet via SAP Portal and it's ability to interface with other SAP and non-SAP legacy systems via Process Integration (PI).

SAP also has extensive capabilities in the Business Intelligence Field (BI) by accessing information stored within the Business Warehouse (BW). Currently, there is a new technology called HANA 1.0 that compresses the time to run reports against these repositories.

There are two primarily technologists that run ALL of these functions, they are called SAP Basis (Netweaver) Administrators and ABAP Developers.

Functional

SAP has specific pre-populated functional packages for different business areas. For example, Exxon runs the "IS Oil & Gas" package while Bank of America runs the "Banking" package, while further still Lockheed Martin runs the "Aerospace & Defense" package. These packages were developed over time by the amalgamation of intelligent functional customizations that could be intelligently ported to the system via inclusion in dot releases.

However, there are some vanilla functional modules that almost all entities run, regardless of their specific industry:

  • HR: Human Resources
  • PM: Project Management
  • FI: Financial
  • CO: Controllers
  • MM: Materials Management
  • SD: Sales and Distribution
  • PP: Production Planning

and finally the biggie:

  • MDM: Master Data Management which encapsulates the data for customer/vendor/material etc.

How to remove MySQL completely with config and library files?

With the command:

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql\*

you can delete anything related to packages named mysql. Those commands are only valid on debian / debian-based linux distributions (Ubuntu for example).

You can list all installed mysql packages with the command:

sudo dpkg -l | grep -i mysql

For more cleanup of the package cache, you can use the command:

sudo apt-get clean

Also, remember to use the command:

sudo updatedb

Otherwise the "locate" command will display old data.

To install mysql again, use the following command:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-client

This will install the mysql client, libmysql and its headers files.

To install the mysql server, use the command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

What is the best regular expression to check if a string is a valid URL?

This is a rather old thread now and the question asks for a regex based URL validator. I ran into the thread whilst looking for precisely the same thing. While it may well be possible to write a really comprehensive regex to validate URLs. I eventually settled on another way to do things - by using PHP's parse_url function.

It returns boolean false if the url cannot be parsed. Otherwise, it returns the scheme, the host and other information. This may well not be enough for a comprehensive URL check on its own, but can be drilled down into for further analysis. If the intent is to simply catch typos, invalid schemes etc. It is perfectly adequate!

What is Java String interning?

Java interning() method basically makes sure that if String object is present in SCP, If yes then it returns that object and if not then creates that objects in SCP and return its references

for eg: String s1=new String("abc");
        String s2="abc";
        String s3="abc";

s1==s2// false, because 1 object of s1 is stored in heap and other in scp(but this objects doesn't have explicit reference) and s2 in scp
s2==s3// true

now if we do intern on s1
s1=s1.intern() 

//JVM checks if there is any string in the pool with value “abc” is present? Since there is a string object in the pool with value “abc”, its reference is returned.
Notice that we are calling s1 = s1.intern(), so the s1 is now referring to the string pool object having value “abc”.
At this point, all the three string objects are referring to the same object in the string pool. Hence s1==s2 is returning true now.

How to turn a String into a JavaScript function call?

In javascript that uses the CommonJS spec, like node.js for instance you can do what I show below. Which is pretty handy for accessing a variable by a string even if its not defined on the window object. If there is a class named MyClass, defined within a CommonJS module named MyClass.js

// MyClass.js
var MyClass = function() {
    // I do stuff in here. Probably return an object
    return {
       foo: "bar"
    }
}

module.exports = MyClass;

You can then do this nice bit o witchcraft from another file called MyOtherFile.js

// MyOtherFile.js

var myString = "MyClass";

var MyClass = require('./' + myString);
var obj = new MyClass();

console.log(obj.foo); // returns "bar"

One more reason why CommonJS is such a pleasure.

android edittext onchange listener

In Kotlin Android EditText listener is set using,

   val searchTo : EditText = findViewById(R.id.searchTo)
   searchTo.addTextChangedListener(object : TextWatcher {
    override fun afterTextChanged(s: Editable) {

        // you can call or do what you want with your EditText here

        // yourEditText...
    }

    override fun beforeTextChanged(s: CharSequence, start: Int, count: Int, after: Int) {}
    override fun onTextChanged(s: CharSequence, start: Int, before: Int, count: Int) {}
})

How to get current CPU and RAM usage in Python?

  • For CPU details use psutil library

    https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#cpu

  • For RAM Frequency (in MHz) use the built in Linux library dmidecode and manipulate the output a bit ;). this command needs root permission hence supply your password too. just copy the following commend replacing mypass with your password

import os

os.system("echo mypass | sudo -S dmidecode -t memory | grep 'Clock Speed' | cut -d ':' -f2")

------------------- Output ---------------------------
1600 MT/s
Unknown
1600 MT/s
Unknown 0

  • more specificly
    [i for i in os.popen("echo mypass | sudo -S dmidecode -t memory | grep 'Clock Speed' | cut -d ':' -f2").read().split(' ') if i.isdigit()]

-------------------------- output -------------------------
['1600', '1600']

Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server

The problem lies in https.conf file!

# Virtual hosts
# Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

The error occurs when hash(#) is removed or messed around with. These two lines should appear as shown above.

How to add items to array in nodejs

Check out Javascript's Array API for details on the exact syntax for Array methods. Modifying your code to use the correct syntax would be:

var array = [];
calendars.forEach(function(item) {
    array.push(item.id);
});

console.log(array);

You can also use the map() method to generate an Array filled with the results of calling the specified function on each element. Something like:

var array = calendars.map(function(item) {
    return item.id;
});

console.log(array);

And, since ECMAScript 2015 has been released, you may start seeing examples using let or const instead of var and the => syntax for creating functions. The following is equivalent to the previous example (except it may not be supported in older node versions):

let array = calendars.map(item => item.id);
console.log(array);

how to add script src inside a View when using Layout

Depending how you want to implement it (if there was a specific location you wanted the scripts) you could implement a @section within your _Layout which would enable you to add additional scripts from the view itself, while still retaining structure. e.g.

_Layout

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>...</title>
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.min.js")"></script>
    @RenderSection("Scripts",false/*required*/)
  </head>
  <body>
    @RenderBody()
  </body>
</html>

View

@model MyNamespace.ViewModels.WhateverViewModel
@section Scripts
{
  <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jqueryFoo.js")"></script>
}

Otherwise, what you have is fine. If you don't mind it being "inline" with the view that was output, you can place the <script> declaration within the view.

Multiline TextView in Android?

TextView is used to display text on Android application. By default, TextView displays text on one line and if long, TextView will automatically display with more lines to display its text in the most logical way.

Android developers can create a new line on TextView both in programming and syntax. Android developers can create multi-line TextView without dividing text into multiple lines according to android: minLines properties. Create layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

What is the difference between Numpy's array() and asarray() functions?

The differences are mentioned quite clearly in the documentation of array and asarray. The differences lie in the argument list and hence the action of the function depending on those parameters.

The function definitions are :

numpy.array(object, dtype=None, copy=True, order=None, subok=False, ndmin=0)

and

numpy.asarray(a, dtype=None, order=None)

The following arguments are those that may be passed to array and not asarray as mentioned in the documentation :

copy : bool, optional If true (default), then the object is copied. Otherwise, a copy will only be made if __array__ returns a copy, if obj is a nested sequence, or if a copy is needed to satisfy any of the other requirements (dtype, order, etc.).

subok : bool, optional If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).

ndmin : int, optional Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting array should have. Ones will be pre-pended to the shape as needed to meet this requirement.

Format an Integer using Java String Format

If you are using a third party library called apache commons-lang, the following solution can be useful:

Use StringUtils class of apache commons-lang :

int i = 5;
StringUtils.leftPad(String.valueOf(i), 3, "0"); // --> "005"

As StringUtils.leftPad() is faster than String.format()

Comparison of C++ unit test frameworks

CPUnit (http://cpunit.sourceforge.net) is a framework that is similar to Google Test, but which relies on less macos (asserts are functions), and where the macros are prefixed to avoid the usual macro pitfall. Tests look like:

#include <cpunit>

namespace MyAssetTest {
    using namespace cpunit;

    CPUNIT_FUNC(MyAssetTest, test_stuff) {
        int some_value = 42;
        assert_equals("Wrong value!", 666, some_value);
    }

    // Fixtures go as follows:
    CPUNIT_SET_UP(MyAssetTest) {
        // Setting up suite here...
        // And the same goes for tear-down.
    }

}

They auto-register, so you need not more than this. Then it is just compile and run. I find using this framework very much like using JUnit, for those who have had to spend some time programming Java. Very nice!

How to set custom location for local installation of npm package?

If you want this in config, you can set npm config like so:

npm config set prefix "$(pwd)/vendor/node_modules"

or

npm config set prefix "$HOME/vendor/node_modules"

Check your config with

npm config ls -l

Or as @pje says and use the --prefix flag

Hibernate, @SequenceGenerator and allocationSize

To be absolutely clear... what you describe does not conflict with the spec in any way. The spec talks about the values Hibernate assigns to your entities, not the values actually stored in the database sequence.

However, there is the option to get the behavior you are looking for. First see my reply on Is there a way to dynamically choose a @GeneratedValue strategy using JPA annotations and Hibernate? That will give you the basics. As long as you are set up to use that SequenceStyleGenerator, Hibernate will interpret allocationSize using the "pooled optimizer" in the SequenceStyleGenerator. The "pooled optimizer" is for use with databases that allow an "increment" option on the creation of sequences (not all databases that support sequences support an increment). Anyway, read up about the various optimizer strategies there.

How to decide when to use Node.js?

If your application mainly tethers web apis, or other io channels, give or take a user interface, node.js may be a fair pick for you, especially if you want to squeeze out the most scalability, or, if your main language in life is javascript (or javascript transpilers of sorts). If you build microservices, node.js is also okay. Node.js is also suitable for any project that is small or simple.

Its main selling point is it allows front-enders take responsibility for back-end stuff rather than the typical divide. Another justifiable selling point is if your workforce is javascript oriented to begin with.

Beyond a certain point however, you cannot scale your code without terrible hacks for forcing modularity, readability and flow control. Some people like those hacks though, especially coming from an event-driven javascript background, they seem familiar or forgivable.

In particular, when your application needs to perform synchronous flows, you start bleeding over half-baked solutions that slow you down considerably in terms of your development process. If you have computation intensive parts in your application, tread with caution picking (only) node.js. Maybe http://koajs.com/ or other novelties alleviate those originally thorny aspects, compared to when I originally used node.js or wrote this.

How to remove elements from a generic list while iterating over it?

For loops are a bad construct for this.

Using while

var numbers = new List<int>(Enumerable.Range(1, 3));

while (numbers.Count > 0)
{
    numbers.RemoveAt(0);
}

But, if you absolutely must use for

var numbers = new List<int>(Enumerable.Range(1, 3));

for (; numbers.Count > 0;)
{
    numbers.RemoveAt(0);
}

Or, this:

public static class Extensions
{

    public static IList<T> Remove<T>(
        this IList<T> numbers,
        Func<T, bool> predicate)
    {
        numbers.ForEachBackwards(predicate, (n, index) => numbers.RemoveAt(index));
        return numbers;
    }

    public static void ForEachBackwards<T>(
        this IList<T> numbers,
        Func<T, bool> predicate,
        Action<T, int> action)
    {
        for (var i = numbers.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            if (predicate(numbers[i]))
            {
                action(numbers[i], i);
            }
        }
    }
}

Usage:

var numbers = new List<int>(Enumerable.Range(1, 10)).Remove((n) => n > 5);

How do I pipe a subprocess call to a text file?

If you want to write the output to a file you can use the stdout-argument of subprocess.call.

It takes None, subprocess.PIPE, a file object or a file descriptor. The first is the default, stdout is inherited from the parent (your script). The second allows you to pipe from one command/process to another. The third and fourth are what you want, to have the output written to a file.

You need to open a file with something like open and pass the object or file descriptor integer to call:

f = open("blah.txt", "w")
subprocess.call(["/home/myuser/run.sh", "/tmp/ad_xml",  "/tmp/video_xml"], stdout=f)

I'm guessing any valid file-like object would work, like a socket (gasp :)), but I've never tried.

As marcog mentions in the comments you might want to redirect stderr as well, you can redirect this to the same location as stdout with stderr=subprocess.STDOUT. Any of the above mentioned values works as well, you can redirect to different places.

index.php not loading by default

This one works like a charm!

First

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
     DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>

then after that from

<Files ".ht*">
    Require all denied
</Files>

to

 <Files ".ht*">
    Require all granted
</Files>

How do I override nested NPM dependency versions?

I had an issue where one of the nested dependency had an npm audit vulnerability, but I still wanted to maintain the parent dependency version. the npm shrinkwrap solution didn't work for me, so what I did to override the nested dependency version:

  1. Remove the nested dependency under the 'requires' section in package-lock.json
  2. Add the updated dependency under DevDependencies in package.json, so that modules that require it will still be able to access it.
  3. npm i

Why is "throws Exception" necessary when calling a function?

package javaexception;


public class JavaException {
   void show() throws Exception
    {
        throw new Exception("my.own.Exception");
    }

void show2() throws Exception  // Why throws is necessary here ?
{
    show();
}

void show3() throws Exception  // Why throws is necessary here ?
{
    show2();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {

   JavaException a = new JavaException();

   try{
   a.show3();
   }catch(Exception e){
       System.out.println(e.getMessage());
   }
}

Only small changes in your program. What It seems to be misunderstood by many regarding the main issue, is whenever you throw exception you need to handle it, not necessary in the same place ( ex. show1,2,3 method in your program) but you must at first caller method inside the 'main'. in one word, there is 'throw', there must be 'catch/try', even if not same method where exception happens.

Scheduling Python Script to run every hour accurately

Run the script every 15 minutes of the hour. For example, you want to receive 15 minute stock price quotes, which are updated every 15 minutes.

while True:
    print("Update data:", datetime.now())
    sleep = 15 - datetime.now().minute % 15
    if sleep == 15:
        run_strategy()
        time.sleep(sleep * 60)
    else:
        time.sleep(sleep * 60)

How to find the path of the local git repository when I am possibly in a subdirectory

git rev-parse --show-toplevel

could be enough if executed within a git repo.
From git rev-parse man page:

--show-toplevel

Show the absolute path of the top-level directory.

For older versions (before 1.7.x), the other options are listed in "Is there a way to get the git root directory in one command?":

git rev-parse --git-dir

That would give the path of the .git directory.


The OP mentions:

git rev-parse --show-prefix

which returns the local path under the git repo root. (empty if you are at the git repo root)


Note: for simply checking if one is in a git repo, I find the following command quite expressive:

git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree

And yes, if you need to check if you are in a .git git-dir folder:

git rev-parse --is-inside-git-dir

Drawing an image from a data URL to a canvas

in javascript , using jquery for canvas id selection :

 var Canvas2 = $("#canvas2")[0];
        var Context2 = Canvas2.getContext("2d");
        var image = new Image();
        image.src = "images/eye.jpg";
        Context2.drawImage(image, 0, 0);

html5:

<canvas id="canvas2"></canvas>

Codeigniter displays a blank page instead of error messages

Codeigniter doesn't seem to throw an error message when I was referencing a view that did not exist.

In my example I had within my controller:

$this->load->view('/admin/index/access_controls/groups/add');

Because the file did not exist, I got a blank "An error has occurred page". I changed the code to:

$this->load->view('/admin/access_controls/groups/add');

This was how I resolved the same issue you seem to be having, hope this helps someone some day.

Java 8 stream reverse order

With regard to the specific question of generating a reverse IntStream:

starting from Java 9 you can use the three-argument version of the IntStream.iterate(...):

IntStream.iterate(10, x -> x >= 0, x -> x - 1).forEach(System.out::println);

// Out: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

where:

IntStream.iterate?(int seed, IntPredicate hasNext, IntUnaryOperator next);

  • seed - the initial element;
  • hasNext - a predicate to apply to elements to determine when the stream must terminate;
  • next - a function to be applied to the previous element to produce a new element.

How Do I Convert an Integer to a String in Excel VBA?

Another way to do it is to splice two parsed sections of the numerical value together:

Cells(RowNum, ColumnNum).Value = Mid(varNumber,1,1) & Mid(varNumber,2,Len(varNumber))

I have found better success with this than CStr() because CStr() doesn't seem to convert decimal numbers that came from variants in my experience.

Javascript callback when IFRAME is finished loading?

I think the load event is right. What is not right is the way you use to retreive the content from iframe content dom.

What you need is the html of the page loaded in the iframe not the html of the iframe object.

What you have to do is to access the content document with iFrameObj.contentDocument. This returns the dom of the page loaded inside the iframe, if it is on the same domain of the current page.

I would retreive the content before removing the iframe.

I've tested in firefox and opera.

Then i think you can retreive your data with $(childDom).html() or $(childDom).find('some selector') ...

How to replace values at specific indexes of a python list?

You can solve it using dictionary

to_modify = [5,4,3,2,1,0]
indexes = [0,1,3,5]
replacements = [0,0,0,0]

dic = {}
for i in range(len(indexes)):
    dic[indexes[i]]=replacements[i]
print(dic)

for index, item in enumerate(to_modify):
    for i in indexes:
        to_modify[i]=dic[i]
print(to_modify)

The output will be

{0: 0, 1: 0, 3: 0, 5: 0}
[0, 0, 3, 0, 1, 0]

In JavaScript can I make a "click" event fire programmatically for a file input element?

Hey this solution works. for download we should be using MSBLOB

How to move div vertically down using CSS

Try this configuration:

    position to absolute
    width to 100%
    height to 100px
    bottom to 10
    background-color: blue

This can help actually move the div to the bottom. Just modify accordingly.

How do I find out where login scripts live?

The default location for logon scripts is the netlogon share of a domain controller. On the server this is located:

%SystemRoot%'SYSVOL'sysvol''scripts

It can presumably be changes from this default but I've never met anyone that had a reason to.

To get list of domain controllers programatically see this article: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/dec04/hey1216.mspx

php mail setup in xampp

My favorite smtp server is hMailServer.

It has a nice windows friendly installer and wizard. Hands down the easiest mail server I've ever setup.

It can proxy through your gmail/yahoo/etc account or send email directly.

Once it is installed, email in xampp just works with no config changes.

How do I test axios in Jest?

For those looking to use axios-mock-adapter in place of the mockfetch example in the Redux documentation for async testing, I successfully used the following:

File actions.test.js:

describe('SignInUser', () => {
  var history = {
    push: function(str) {
        expect(str).toEqual('/feed');
    }
  }

  it('Dispatches authorization', () => {
    let mock = new MockAdapter(axios);
    mock.onPost(`${ROOT_URL}/auth/signin`, {
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'test'
    }).reply(200, {token: 'testToken' });

    const expectedActions = [ { type: types.AUTH_USER } ];
    const store = mockStore({ auth: [] });

    return store.dispatch(actions.signInUser({
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'test',
      }, history)).then(() => {
        expect(store.getActions()).toEqual(expectedActions);
  });

});

In order to test a successful case for signInUser in file actions/index.js:

export const signInUser = ({ email, password }, history) => async dispatch => {
  const res = await axios.post(`${ROOT_URL}/auth/signin`, { email, password })
    .catch(({ response: { data } }) => {
        ...
  });

  if (res) {
    dispatch({ type: AUTH_USER });                 // Test verified this
    localStorage.setItem('token', res.data.token); // Test mocked this
    history.push('/feed');                         // Test mocked this
  }
}

Given that this is being done with jest, the localstorage call had to be mocked. This was in file src/setupTests.js:

const localStorageMock = {
  removeItem: jest.fn(),
  getItem: jest.fn(),
  setItem: jest.fn(),
  clear: jest.fn()
};
global.localStorage = localStorageMock;

Is there a SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE equivalent in SQL Server Management Studio?

In SQL Management Studio you can:

  1. Right click on the result set grid, select 'Save Result As...' and save in.

  2. On a tool bar toggle 'Result to Text' button. This will prompt for file name on each query run.

If you need to automate it, use bcp tool.

Parsing a pcap file in python

I would use python-dpkt. Here is the documentation: http://www.commercialventvac.com/dpkt.html

This is all I know how to do though sorry.

#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7

import dpkt

counter=0
ipcounter=0
tcpcounter=0
udpcounter=0

filename='sampledata.pcap'

for ts, pkt in dpkt.pcap.Reader(open(filename,'r')):

    counter+=1
    eth=dpkt.ethernet.Ethernet(pkt) 
    if eth.type!=dpkt.ethernet.ETH_TYPE_IP:
       continue

    ip=eth.data
    ipcounter+=1

    if ip.p==dpkt.ip.IP_PROTO_TCP: 
       tcpcounter+=1

    if ip.p==dpkt.ip.IP_PROTO_UDP:
       udpcounter+=1

print "Total number of packets in the pcap file: ", counter
print "Total number of ip packets: ", ipcounter
print "Total number of tcp packets: ", tcpcounter
print "Total number of udp packets: ", udpcounter

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

There is TKlerx's Android SQLite browser for Eclipse, and it's fully functional alongside Android Studio. I'll recommend it, because it is immensely practical.

To install it on Device Monitor, just place the JAR file in [Path to Android SDK folder]/sdk/tools/lib/monitor-[...]/plugins.

CentOS 64 bit bad ELF interpreter

sudo yum install fontconfig freetype libfreetype.so.6 libfontconfig.so.1 libstdc++.so.6

Invalid use side-effecting operator Insert within a function

You can't use a function to insert data into a base table. Functions return data. This is listed as the very first limitation in the documentation:

User-defined functions cannot be used to perform actions that modify the database state.

"Modify the database state" includes changing any data in the database (though a table variable is an obvious exception the OP wouldn't have cared about 3 years ago - this table variable only lives for the duration of the function call and does not affect the underlying tables in any way).

You should be using a stored procedure, not a function.

Sort Go map values by keys

According to the Go spec, the order of iteration over a map is undefined, and may vary between runs of the program. In practice, not only is it undefined, it's actually intentionally randomized. This is because it used to be predictable, and the Go language developers didn't want people relying on unspecified behavior, so they intentionally randomized it so that relying on this behavior was impossible.

What you'll have to do, then, is pull the keys into a slice, sort them, and then range over the slice like this:

var m map[keyType]valueType
keys := sliceOfKeys(m) // you'll have to implement this
for _, k := range keys {
    v := m[k]
    // k is the key and v is the value; do your computation here
}

How to get the index of an element in an IEnumerable?

The whole point of getting things out as IEnumerable is so you can lazily iterate over the contents. As such, there isn't really a concept of an index. What you are doing really doesn't make a lot of sense for an IEnumerable. If you need something that supports access by index, put it in an actual list or collection.

npm ERR! registry error parsing json - While trying to install Cordova for Ionic Framework in Windows 8

I had the same issue and the following fixed my issue:

  1. Set the registry: npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/"
  2. Removed the entry in hosts file (using Windows 7) => C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

How to keep onItemSelected from firing off on a newly instantiated Spinner?

Unfortunately it seems that the two most commonly suggested solutions to this issue, namely counting callback occurrences and posting a Runnable to set the callback at a later time can both fail when for example accessibility options are enabled. Here's a helper class that works around these issues. Further explenation is in the comment block.

import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.SpinnerAdapter;

/**
 * Spinner Helper class that works around some common issues 
 * with the stock Android Spinner
 * 
 * A Spinner will normally call it's OnItemSelectedListener
 * when you use setSelection(...) in your initialization code. 
 * This is usually unwanted behavior, and a common work-around 
 * is to use spinner.post(...) with a Runnable to assign the 
 * OnItemSelectedListener after layout.
 * 
 * If you do not call setSelection(...) manually, the callback
 * may be called with the first item in the adapter you have 
 * set. The common work-around for that is to count callbacks.
 * 
 * While these workarounds usually *seem* to work, the callback
 * may still be called repeatedly for other reasons while the 
 * selection hasn't actually changed. This will happen for 
 * example, if the user has accessibility options enabled - 
 * which is more common than you might think as several apps 
 * use this for different purposes, like detecting which 
 * notifications are active.
 * 
 * Ideally, your OnItemSelectedListener callback should be
 * coded defensively so that no problem would occur even
 * if the callback was called repeatedly with the same values
 * without any user interaction, so no workarounds are needed.
 * 
 * This class does that for you. It keeps track of the values
 * you have set with the setSelection(...) methods, and 
 * proxies the OnItemSelectedListener callback so your callback
 * only gets called if the selected item's position differs 
 * from the one you have set by code, or the first item if you
 * did not set it.
 * 
 * This also means that if the user actually clicks the item
 * that was previously selected by code (or the first item
 * if you didn't set a selection by code), the callback will 
 * not fire.
 * 
 * To implement, replace current occurrences of:
 * 
 *     Spinner spinner = 
 *         (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.xxx);
 *     
 * with:
 * 
 *     SpinnerHelper spinner = 
 *         new SpinnerHelper(findViewById(R.id.xxx))
 *         
 * SpinnerHelper proxies the (my) most used calls to Spinner
 * but not all of them. Should a method not be available, use: 
 * 
 *      spinner.getSpinner().someMethod(...)
 *
 * Or just add the proxy method yourself :)
 * 
 * (Quickly) Tested on devices from 2.3.6 through 4.2.2

Adding quotes to a string in VBScript

I don't think I can improve on these answers as I've used them all, but my preference is declaring a constant and using that as it can be a real pain if you have a long string and try to accommodate with the correct number of quotes and make a mistake. ;)

Django - limiting query results

Actually I think the LIMIT 10 would be issued to the database so slicing would not occur in Python but in the database.

See limiting-querysets for more information.

XPath:: Get following Sibling

You can go for identifying a list of elements with xPath:

//td[text() = ' Color Digest ']/following-sibling::td[1]

This will give you a list of two elements, than you can use the 2nd element as your intended one. For example:

List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//td[text() = ' Color Digest ']/following-sibling::td[1]"))

Now, you can use the 2nd element as your intended element, which is elements.get(1)

XML Error: There are multiple root elements

You need to enclose your <parent> elements in a surrounding element as XML Documents can have only one root node:

<parents> <!-- I've added this tag -->
    <parent>
        <child>
            Text
        </child>
    </parent>
    <parent>
        <child>
            <grandchild>
                Text
            </grandchild>
            <grandchild>
                Text
            </grandchild>
        </child>
        <child>
            Text
        </child>
    </parent>
</parents> <!-- I've added this tag -->

As you're receiving this markup from somewhere else, rather than generating it yourself, you may have to do this yourself by treating the response as a string and wrapping it with appropriate tags, prior to attempting to parse it as XML.

So, you've a couple of choices:

  1. Get the provider of the web service to return you actual XML that has one root node
  2. Pre-process the XML, as I've suggested above, to add a root node
  3. Pre-process the XML to split it into multiple chunks (i.e. one for each <parent> node) and process each as a distinct XML Document

first-child and last-child with IE8

Since :last-child is a CSS3 pseudo-class, it is not supported in IE8. I believe :first-child is supported, as it's defined in the CSS2.1 specification.

One possible solution is to simply give the last child a class name and style that class.

Another would be to use JavaScript. jQuery makes this particularly easy as it provides a :last-child pseudo-class which should work in IE8. Unfortunately, that could result in a flash of unstyled content while the DOM loads.

Storing Objects in HTML5 localStorage

I made another minimalistic wrapper with only 20 lines of code to allow using it like it should:

localStorage.set('myKey',{a:[1,2,5], b: 'ok'});
localStorage.has('myKey');   // --> true
localStorage.get('myKey');   // --> {a:[1,2,5], b: 'ok'}
localStorage.keys();         // --> ['myKey']
localStorage.remove('myKey');

Can Windows' built-in ZIP compression be scripted?

Yes, this can be scripted with VBScript. For example the following code can create a zip from a directory:

Dim fso, winShell, MyTarget, MySource, file
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set winShell = createObject("shell.application")


MyTarget = Wscript.Arguments.Item(0)
MySource = Wscript.Arguments.Item(1)

Wscript.Echo "Adding " & MySource & " to " & MyTarget

'create a new clean zip archive
Set file = fso.CreateTextFile(MyTarget, True)
file.write("PK" & chr(5) & chr(6) & string(18,chr(0)))
file.close

winShell.NameSpace(MyTarget).CopyHere winShell.NameSpace(MySource).Items

do until winShell.namespace(MyTarget).items.count = winShell.namespace(MySource).items.count
    wscript.sleep 1000 
loop

Set winShell = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

You may also find http://www.naterice.com/blog/template_permalink.asp?id=64 helpful as it includes a full Unzip/Zip implementation in VBScript.

If you do a size check every 500 ms rather than a item count it works better for large files. Win 7 writes the file instantly although it's not finished compressing:

set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set h=fso.getFile(DestZip)
do
    wscript.sleep 500
    max = h.size
loop while h.size > max 

Works great for huge amounts of log files.

How different is Scrum practice from Agile Practice?

As mentioned Agile is a set of principles about how a methodology should be implemented to achieve the benefits of embracing change, close co-operation etc. These principles address some of the project management issues found in studies such as the Chaos Report by the Standish group.

Agile methodologies are created by the development and supporting teams to meet the principles. The methodology is made to fit the business and changed as appropriate.

SCRUM is a fixed set of processes to implement an incremental development methodology. Since the processes are fixed and not catered to the teams it cannot really be considered agile in the original sense of focus on individuals rather than processes.

How to set the text/value/content of an `Entry` widget using a button in tkinter

Your problem is that when you do this:

a = Button(win, text="plant", command=setText("plant"))

it tries to evaluate what to set for the command. So when instantiating the Button object, it actually calls setText("plant"). This is wrong, because you don't want to call the setText method yet. Then it takes the return value of this call (which is None), and sets that to the command of the button. That's why clicking the button does nothing, because there is no command set for it.

If you do as Milan Skála suggested and use a lambda expression instead, then your code will work (assuming you fix the indentation and the parentheses).

Instead of command=setText("plant"), which actually calls the function, you can set command=lambda:setText("plant") which specifies something which will call the function later, when you want to call it.

If you don't like lambdas, another (slightly more cumbersome) way would be to define a pair of functions to do what you want:

def set_to_plant():
    set_text("plant")
def set_to_animal():
    set_text("animal")

and then you can use command=set_to_plant and command=set_to_animal - these will evaluate to the corresponding functions, but are definitely not the same as command=set_to_plant() which would of course evaluate to None again.

Are 64 bit programs bigger and faster than 32 bit versions?

Regardless of the benefits, I would suggest that you always compile your program for the system's default word size (32-bit or 64-bit), since if you compile a library as a 32-bit binary and provide it on a 64-bit system, you will force anyone who wants to link with your library to provide their library (and any other library dependencies) as a 32-bit binary, when the 64-bit version is the default available. This can be quite a nuisance for everyone. When in doubt, provide both versions of your library.

As to the practical benefits of 64-bit... the most obvious is that you get a bigger address space, so if mmap a file, you can address more of it at once (and load larger files into memory). Another benefit is that, assuming the compiler does a good job of optimizing, many of your arithmetic operations can be parallelized (for example, placing two pairs of 32-bit numbers in two registers and performing two adds in single add operation), and big number computations will run more quickly. That said, the whole 64-bit vs 32-bit thing won't help you with asymptotic complexity at all, so if you are looking to optimize your code, you should probably be looking at the algorithms rather than the constant factors like this.

EDIT:
Please disregard my statement about the parallelized addition. This is not performed by an ordinary add statement... I was confusing that with some of the vectorized/SSE instructions. A more accurate benefit, aside from the larger address space, is that there are more general purpose registers, which means more local variables can be maintained in the CPU register file, which is much faster to access, than if you place the variables in the program stack (which usually means going out to the L1 cache).

How to connect to remote Oracle DB with PL/SQL Developer?

In the "database" section of the logon dialog box, enter //hostname.domain:port/database, in your case //123.45.67.89:1521/TEST - this assumes that you don't want to set up a tnsnames.ora file/entry for some reason.

Also make sure the firewall settings on your server are not blocking port 1521.

Visual Studio 2017: Display method references

For anyone who looks at this today after 2 years, Visual Studio 2019 (Community edition as well) shows the references

Enum ToString with user friendly strings

I use the Description attribute from the System.ComponentModel namespace. Simply decorate the enum:

private enum PublishStatusValue
{
    [Description("Not Completed")]
    NotCompleted,
    Completed,
    Error
};

Then use this code to retrieve it:

public static string GetDescription<T>(this T enumerationValue)
    where T : struct
{
    Type type = enumerationValue.GetType();
    if (!type.IsEnum)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("EnumerationValue must be of Enum type", "enumerationValue");
    }

    //Tries to find a DescriptionAttribute for a potential friendly name
    //for the enum
    MemberInfo[] memberInfo = type.GetMember(enumerationValue.ToString());
    if (memberInfo != null && memberInfo.Length > 0)
    {
        object[] attrs = memberInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);

        if (attrs != null && attrs.Length > 0)
        {
            //Pull out the description value
            return ((DescriptionAttribute)attrs[0]).Description;
        }
    }
    //If we have no description attribute, just return the ToString of the enum
    return enumerationValue.ToString();
}

Connection string with relative path to the database file

In your config file give the relative path

ConnectionString = "Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Database.sdf";

Change the DataDirectory to your executable path

string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("DataDirectory", path);

If you are using EntityFramework, then you can set the DataDirectory path in your Context class

How do I connect to a MySQL Database in Python?

Try using MySQLdb. MySQLdb only supports Python 2.

There is a how to page here: http://www.kitebird.com/articles/pydbapi.html


From the page:

# server_version.py - retrieve and display database server version

import MySQLdb

conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = "localhost",
                        user = "testuser",
                        passwd = "testpass",
                        db = "test")
cursor = conn.cursor ()
cursor.execute ("SELECT VERSION()")
row = cursor.fetchone ()
print "server version:", row[0]
cursor.close ()
conn.close ()

Equivalent VB keyword for 'break'

Exit [construct], and intelisense will tell you which one(s) are valid in a particular place.

Jinja2 template not rendering if-elif-else statement properly

You are testing if the values of the variables error and Already are present in RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)]. If these variables don't exist then an undefined object is used.

Both of your if and elif tests therefore are false; there is no undefined object in the value of RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)].

I think you wanted to test if certain strings are in the value instead:

{% if "error" in RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)] %}
    <td id="error"> {{ RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)] }} </td>
{% elif "Already" in RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo) %}
    <td id="good"> {{ RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)] }} </td>
{% else %}
    <td id="error"> {{ RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)] }} </td>
{% endif %}
</tr>

Other corrections I made:

  • Used {% elif ... %} instead of {$ elif ... %}.
  • moved the </tr> tag out of the if conditional structure, it needs to be there always.
  • put quotes around the id attribute

Note that most likely you want to use a class attribute instead here, not an id, the latter must have a value that must be unique across your HTML document.

Personally, I'd set the class value here and reduce the duplication a little:

{% if "Already" in RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)] %}
    {% set row_class = "good" %}
{% else %}
    {% set row_class = "error" %}
{% endif %}
<td class="{{ row_class }}"> {{ RepoOutput[RepoName.index(repo)] }} </td>

How to center a button within a div?

_x000D_
_x000D_
div {
    text-align : center;
}
button {
    width: 50%;
    margin: 1rem auto;
}
_x000D_
<div style="width:100%; height:100%; border: 1px solid">
  <button type="button">hello</button>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_

This is what I mostly do.
I think bootstrap also uses this in "mx-auto".

What Does This Mean in PHP -> or =>

=> is used in associative array key value assignment. Take a look at:

http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php.

-> is used to access an object method or property. Example: $obj->method().

How to open a txt file and read numbers in Java

A much shorter alternative is below:

Path filePath = Paths.get("file.txt");
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(filePath);
List<Integer> integers = new ArrayList<>();
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
    if (scanner.hasNextInt()) {
        integers.add(scanner.nextInt());
    } else {
        scanner.next();
    }
}

A Scanner breaks its input into tokens using a delimiter pattern, which by default matches whitespace. Although default delimiter is whitespace, it successfully found all integers separated by new line character.

How can I set the font-family & font-size inside of a div?

You need a semicolon after font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif. This will make your updated code the following:

<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DIV Font</title>

        <style>
            .my_text
            {
                font-family:    Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
                font-size:      40px;
                font-weight:    bold;
            }
        </style>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div class="my_text">some text</div>
    </body>
</html>

How do you import a large MS SQL .sql file?

Your question is quite similar to this one

You can save your file/script as .txt or .sql and run it from Sql Server Management Studio (I think the menu is Open/Query, then just run the query in the SSMS interface). You migh have to update the first line, indicating the database to be created or selected on your local machine.

If you have to do this data transfer very often, you could then go for replication. Depending on your needs, snapshot replication could be ok. If you have to synch the data between your two servers, you could go for a more complex model such as merge replication.

EDIT: I didn't notice that you had problems with SSMS linked to file size. Then you can go for command-line, as proposed by others, snapshot replication (publish on your main server, subscribe on your local one, replicate, then unsubscribe) or even backup/restore

c# razor url parameter from view

SQL Server Error : String or binary data would be truncated

You're trying to write more data than a specific column can store. Check the sizes of the data you're trying to insert against the sizes of each of the fields.

In this case transaction_status is a varchar(10) and you're trying to store 19 characters to it.

How can I use JavaScript in Java?

Rhino is what you are looking for.

Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users.

Update: Now Nashorn, which is more performant JavaScript Engine for Java, is available with jdk8.

Loop through all the rows of a temp table and call a stored procedure for each row

something like this?

DECLARE maxval, val, @ind INT;
SELECT MAX(ID) as maxval FROM table;

while (ind <= maxval  ) DO           

      select `value` as val from `table` where `ID`=ind;

      CALL fn(val);

      SET ind = ind+1;

jQuery xml error ' No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.'

You won't be able to make an ajax call to http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml from a file deployed at http://run.jsbin.com due to the same-origin policy.


As the source (aka origin) page and the target URL are at different domains (run.jsbin.com and www.ecb.europa.eu), your code is actually attempting to make a Cross-domain (CORS) request, not an ordinary GET.

In a few words, the same-origin policy says that browsers should only allow ajax calls to services at the same domain of the HTML page.


Example:

A page at http://www.example.com/myPage.html can only directly request services that are at http://www.example.com, like http://www.example.com/api/myService. If the service is hosted at another domain (say http://www.ok.com/api/myService), the browser won't make the call directly (as you'd expect). Instead, it will try to make a CORS request.

To put it shortly, to perform a (CORS) request* across different domains, your browser:

  • Will include an Origin header in the original request (with the page's domain as value) and perform it as usual; and then
  • Only if the server response to that request contains the adequate headers (Access-Control-Allow-Origin is one of them) allowing the CORS request, the browse will complete the call (almost** exactly the way it would if the HTML page was at the same domain).
    • If the expected headers don't come, the browser simply gives up (like it did to you).


* The above depicts the steps in a simple request, such as a regular GET with no fancy headers. If the request is not simple (like a POST with application/json as content type), the browser will hold it a moment, and, before fulfilling it, will first send an OPTIONS request to the target URL. Like above, it only will continue if the response to this OPTIONS request contains the CORS headers. This OPTIONS call is known as preflight request.
** I'm saying almost because there are other differences between regular calls and CORS calls. An important one is that some headers, even if present in the response, will not be picked up by the browser if they aren't included in the Access-Control-Expose-Headers header.


How to fix it?

Was it just a typo? Sometimes the JavaScript code has just a typo in the target domain. Have you checked? If the page is at www.example.com it will only make regular calls to www.example.com! Other URLs, such as api.example.com or even example.com or www.example.com:8080 are considered different domains by the browser! Yes, if the port is different, then it is a different domain!

Add the headers. The simplest way to enable CORS is by adding the necessary headers (as Access-Control-Allow-Origin) to the server's responses. (Each server/language has a way to do that - check some solutions here.)

Last resort: If you don't have server-side access to the service, you can also mirror it (through tools such as reverse proxies), and include all the necessary headers there.

The R %in% operator

You can use all

> all(1:6 %in% 0:36)
[1] TRUE
> all(1:60 %in% 0:36)
[1] FALSE

On a similar note, if you want to check whether any of the elements is TRUE you can use any

> any(1:6 %in% 0:36)
[1] TRUE
> any(1:60 %in% 0:36)
[1] TRUE
> any(50:60 %in% 0:36)
[1] FALSE

Regex to check if valid URL that ends in .jpg, .png, or .gif

Reference: See DecodeConfig section on the official go lang image lib docs here

I believe you could also use DecodeConfig to get the format of an image which you could then validate against const types like jpeg, png, jpg and gif ie

import (
  "encoding/base64"
  "fmt"
  "image"
  "log"
  "strings"
  "net/http"

  // Package image/jpeg is not used explicitly in the code below,
  // but is imported for its initialization side-effect, which allows
  // image.Decode to understand JPEG formatted images. Uncomment these
  // two lines to also understand GIF and PNG images:
  // _ "image/gif"
  // _ "image/png"
  _ "image/jpeg"
   )

func main() {
  resp, err := http.Get("http://i.imgur.com/Peq1U1u.jpg")
  if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
  }
  defer resp.Body.Close()
  data, _, err := image.Decode(resp.Body)
  if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
  }
  reader := base64.NewDecoder(base64.StdEncoding, strings.NewReader(data))
  config, format, err := image.DecodeConfig(reader)
  if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
  }
  fmt.Println("Width:", config.Width, "Height:", config.Height, "Format:", format)
}

format here is a string that states the file format eg jpg, png etc

How Long Does it Take to Learn Java for a Complete Newbie?

The best advice for learning to program is basically: write a lot of programs.

Project Euler contains lots of problems well suited for this purpose, as the resulting programs are manageable in size while actually allowing you to solve an explicit problem.

Invert colors of an image in CSS or JavaScript

You can apply the style via javascript. This is the Js code below that applies the filter to the image with the ID theImage.

function invert(){
document.getElementById("theImage").style.filter="invert(100%)";
}

And this is the

<img id="theImage" class="img-responsive" src="http://i.imgur.com/1H91A5Y.png"></img>

Now all you need to do is call invert() We do this when the image is clicked.

_x000D_
_x000D_
function invert(){_x000D_
document.getElementById("theImage").style.filter="invert(100%)";_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<h4> Click image to invert </h4>_x000D_
_x000D_
<img id="theImage" class="img-responsive" src="http://i.imgur.com/1H91A5Y.png" onClick="invert()" ></img>

How and where are Annotations used in Java?

There are mutiple applications for Java's annotations. First of all, they may used by the compiler (or compiler extensions). Consider for example the Override annotation:

class Foo {

    @Override public boolean equals(Object other) {
        return ...;
    }
}

This one is actually built into the Java JDK. The compiler will signal an error, if some method is tagged with it, which does not override a method inherited from a base class. This annotation may be helpful in order to avoid the common mistake, where you actually intend to override a method, but fail to do so, because the signature given in your method does not match the signature of the method being overridden:

class Foo {

    @Override public boolean equals(Foo other) {  // Compiler signals an error for this one
        return ...;
    }
}

As of JDK7, annotations are allowed on any type. This feature can now be used for compiler annotations such as NotNull, like in:

public void processSomething(@NotNull String text) {
    ...
}

which allows the compiler to warn you about improper/unchecked uses of variables and null values.

Another more advanced application for annotations involves reflection and annotation processing at run-time. This is (I think) what you had in mind when you speak of annotations as "replacement for XML based configuration". This is the kind of annotation processing used, for example, by various frameworks and JCP standards (persistence, dependency injection, you name it) in order to provide the necessary meta-data and configuration information.

What is a C++ delegate?

Windows Runtime equivalent of a function object in standard C++. One can use the whole function as a parameter (actually that is a function pointer). It is mostly used in conjunction with events. The delegate represents a contract that event handlers much fulfill. It facilitate how a function pointer can work for.

How can I add a background thread to flask?

First, you should use any WebSocket or polling mechanics to notify the frontend part about changes that happened. I use Flask-SocketIO wrapper, and very happy with async messaging for my tiny apps.

Nest, you can do all logic which you need in a separate thread(s), and notify the frontend via SocketIO object (Flask holds continuous open connection with every frontend client).

As an example, I just implemented page reload on backend file modifications:

<!doctype html>
<script>
    sio = io()

    sio.on('reload',(info)=>{
        console.log(['sio','reload',info])
        document.location.reload()
    })
</script>
class App(Web, Module):

    def __init__(self, V):
        ## flask module instance
        self.flask = flask
        ## wrapped application instance
        self.app = flask.Flask(self.value)
        self.app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = config.SECRET_KEY
        ## `flask-socketio`
        self.sio = SocketIO(self.app)
        self.watchfiles()

    ## inotify reload files after change via `sio(reload)``
    def watchfiles(self):
        from watchdog.observers import Observer
        from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
        class Handler(FileSystemEventHandler):
            def __init__(self,sio):
                super().__init__()
                self.sio = sio
            def on_modified(self, event):
                print([self.on_modified,self,event])
                self.sio.emit('reload',[event.src_path,event.event_type,event.is_directory])
        self.observer = Observer()
        self.observer.schedule(Handler(self.sio),path='static',recursive=True)
        self.observer.schedule(Handler(self.sio),path='templates',recursive=True)
        self.observer.start()


How to use border with Bootstrap

Unfortunately, that's what borders do, they're counted as part of the space an element takes up. Allow me to introduce border's less commonly known cousin: outline. It is virtually identical to border. Only difference is that it behaves more like box-shadow in that it doesn't take up space in your layout and it has to be on all 4 sides of the element.

http://codepen.io/cimmanon/pen/wyktr

.foo {
    outline: 1px solid orange;
}

How to pass data from Javascript to PHP and vice versa?

You can pass data from PHP to javascript but the only way to get data from javascript to PHP is via AJAX.

The reason for that is you can build a valid javascript through PHP but to get data to PHP you will need to get PHP running again, and since PHP only runs to process the output, you will need a page reload or an asynchronous query.

Combine GET and POST request methods in Spring

@RequestMapping(value = "/testonly", method = { RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST })
public ModelAndView listBooksPOST(@ModelAttribute("booksFilter") BooksFilter filter,
        @RequestParam(required = false) String parameter1,
        @RequestParam(required = false) String parameter2, 
        BindingResult result, HttpServletRequest request) 
        throws ParseException {

    LONG CODE and SAME LONG CODE with a minor difference
}

if @RequestParam(required = true) then you must pass parameter1,parameter2

Use BindingResult and request them based on your conditions.

The Other way

@RequestMapping(value = "/books", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView listBooks(@ModelAttribute("booksFilter") BooksFilter filter,  
    two @RequestParam parameters, HttpServletRequest request) throws ParseException {

    myMethod();

}


@RequestMapping(value = "/books", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView listBooksPOST(@ModelAttribute("booksFilter") BooksFilter filter, 
        BindingResult result) throws ParseException {

    myMethod();

    do here your minor difference
}

private returntype myMethod(){
    LONG CODE

Excel VBA Code: Compile Error in x64 Version ('PtrSafe' attribute required)

I'm quite sure you won't get this 32Bit DLL working in Office 64Bit. The DLL needs to be updated by the author to be compatible with 64Bit versions of Office.

The code changes you have found and supplied in the question are used to convert calls to APIs that have already been rewritten for Office 64Bit. (Most Windows APIs have been updated.)

From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx:

"ActiveX controls and add-in (COM) DLLs (dynamic link libraries) that were written for 32-bit Office will not work in a 64-bit process."

Edit: Further to your comment, I've tried the 64Bit DLL version on Win 8 64Bit with Office 2010 64Bit. Since you are using User Defined Functions called from the Excel worksheet you are not able to see the error thrown by Excel and just end up with the #VALUE returned.

If we create a custom procedure within VBA and try one of the DLL functions we see the exact error thrown. I tried a simple function of swe_day_of_week which just has a time as an input and I get the error Run-time error '48' File not found: swedll32.dll.

Now I have the 64Bit DLL you supplied in the correct locations so it should be found which suggests it has dependencies which cannot be located as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/8607250/1733206

I've got all the .NET frameworks installed which would be my first guess, so without further information from the author it might be difficult to find the problem.

Edit2: And after a bit more investigating it appears the 64Bit version you have supplied is actually a 32Bit version. Hence the error message on the 64Bit Office. You can check this by trying to access the '64Bit' version in Office 32Bit.

How to do a deep comparison between 2 objects with lodash?

Simple use _.isEqual method, it will work for all comparing...

  • Note: This method supports comparing arrays, array buffers, booleans, * date objects, error objects, maps, numbers, Object objects, regexes, * sets, strings, symbols, and typed arrays. Object objects are compared * by their own, not inherited, enumerable properties. Functions and DOM * nodes are not supported.

So if you have below:

 const firstName = {name: "Alireza"};
 const otherName = {name: "Alireza"};

If you do: _.isEqual(firstName, otherName);,

it will return true

And if const fullName = {firstName: "Alireza", familyName: "Dezfoolian"};

If you do: _.isEqual(firstName, fullName);,

will return false

How to create a byte array in C++?

Byte is not a standard type in C/C++, so it is represented by char.

An advantage of this is that you can treat a basic_string as a byte array allowing for safe storage and function passing. This will help you avoid the memory leaks and segmentation faults you might encounter when using the various forms of char[] and char*.

For example, this creates a string as a byte array of null values:

typedef basic_string<unsigned char> u_string;

u_string bytes = u_string(16,'\0');

This allows for standard bitwise operations with other char values, including those stored in other string variables. For example, to XOR the char values of another u_string across bytes:

u_string otherBytes = "some more chars, which are just bytes";
for(int i = 0; i < otherBytes.length(); i++)
    bytes[i%16] ^= (int)otherBytes[i];

How to avoid java.util.ConcurrentModificationException when iterating through and removing elements from an ArrayList

In my case, the accepted answer is not working, It stops Exception but it causes some inconsistency in my List. The following solution is perfectly working for me.

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

for (String value: list) {
   if (value.length() > 5) { // your condition
       itemsToRemove.add(value);
   }
}
list.removeAll(itemsToRemove);

In this code, I have added the items to remove, in another list and then used list.removeAll method to remove all required items.

I was just faced with a similar problem. I exported the contents of the db into one sql file and used TextEdit to find and replace everything I needed. Simplicity ftw!

Show how many characters remaining in a HTML text box using JavaScript

I needed something like that and the solution I gave with the help of jquery is this:

<textarea class="textlimited" data-textcounterid="counter1" maxlength="30">text</textarea>
<span class='textcounter' id="counter1"></span>

With this script:

// the selector below will catch the keyup events of elements decorated with class textlimited and have a maxlength
$('.textlimited[maxlength]').keyup(function(){
     //get the fields limit
    var maxLength = $(this).attr("maxlength");

    // check if the limit is passed
    if(this.value.length > maxLength){
        return false;
    }

    // find the counter element by the id specified in the source input element
    var counterElement = $(".textcounter#" + $(this).data("textcounterid"));
    // update counter 's text
    counterElement.html((maxLength - this.value.length) + " chars left");
});

How do I copy a range of formula values and paste them to a specific range in another sheet?

How about if you're copying each column in a sheet to different sheets? Example: row B of mysheet to row B of sheet1, row C of mysheet to row B of sheet 2...

Excel formula to search if all cells in a range read "True", if not, then show "False"

=COUNTIFS(1:1,FALSE)=0

This will return TRUE or FALSE (Looks for FALSE, if count isn't 0 (all True) it will be false

Updating version numbers of modules in a multi-module Maven project

</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.xyz</groupId>
<artifactId>xyz-Library</artifactId>
<version>2.50.0.g</version>

should be changed into. Here take care about the not defined version only in parent part it is defined.

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

Difference between Console.Read() and Console.ReadLine()?

The basic difference is:

int i = Console.Read();
Console.WriteLine(i);

paste above code and give input 'c', and the output will be 99. That is Console.Read give int value but that value will be the ASCII value of that..

On the other side..

string s = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(s);

It gives the string as it is given in the input stream.

How to convert a factor to integer\numeric without loss of information?

late to the game, accidently, I found trimws() can convert factor(3:5) to c("3","4","5"). Then you can call as.numeric(). That is:

as.numeric(trimws(x_factor_var))

Check existence of input argument in a Bash shell script

Another way to detect if arguments were passed to the script:

((!$#)) && echo No arguments supplied!

Note that (( expr )) causes the expression to be evaluated as per rules of Shell Arithmetic.

In order to exit in the absence of any arguments, one can say:

((!$#)) && echo No arguments supplied! && exit 1

Another (analogous) way to say the above would be:

let $# || echo No arguments supplied

let $# || { echo No arguments supplied; exit 1; }  # Exit if no arguments!

help let says:

let: let arg [arg ...]

  Evaluate arithmetic expressions.

  ...

  Exit Status:
  If the last ARG evaluates to 0, let returns 1; let returns 0 otherwise.

How do I create a datetime in Python from milliseconds?

What about this? I presume it can be counted on to handle dates before 1970 and after 2038.

target_date_time_ms = 200000 # or whatever
base_datetime = datetime.datetime( 1970, 1, 1 )
delta = datetime.timedelta( 0, 0, 0, target_date_time_ms )
target_date = base_datetime + delta

as mentioned in the Python standard lib:

fromtimestamp() may raise ValueError, if the timestamp is out of the range of values supported by the platform C localtime() or gmtime() functions. It’s common for this to be restricted to years in 1970 through 2038.

SQL Server Text type vs. varchar data type

If you're using SQL Server 2005 or later, use varchar(MAX). The text datatype is deprecated and should not be used for new development work. From the docs:

Important

ntext , text, and image data types will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using these data types in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use them. Use nvarchar(max), varchar(max), and varbinary(max) instead.

Can I change a column from NOT NULL to NULL without dropping it?

ALTER TABLE myTable ALTER COLUMN myColumn {DataType} NULL

where {DataType} is the current data type of that column (For example int or varchar(10))

Autoreload of modules in IPython

If you add file ipython_config.py into the ~/.ipython/profile_default directory with lines like below, then the autoreload functionality will be loaded on IPython startup (tested on 2.0.0):

print "--------->>>>>>>> ENABLE AUTORELOAD <<<<<<<<<------------"

c = get_config()
c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = []
c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines.append('%load_ext autoreload')
c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines.append('%autoreload 2')

How to open .SQLite files

If you just want to see what's in the database without installing anything extra, you might already have SQLite CLI on your system. To check, open a command prompt and try:

sqlite3 database.sqlite

Replace database.sqlite with your database file. Then, if the database is small enough, you can view the entire contents with:

sqlite> .dump

Or you can list the tables:

sqlite> .tables

Regular SQL works here as well:

sqlite> select * from some_table;

Replace some_table as appropriate.

checking if a number is divisible by 6 PHP

$num += (6-$num%6)%6;

no need for a while loop! Modulo (%) returns the remainder of a division. IE 20%6 = 2. 6-2 = 4. 20+4 = 24. 24 is divisible by 6.

Java abstract interface

An abstract Interface is not as redundant as everyone seems to be saying, in theory at least.

An Interface can be extended, just as a Class can. If you design an Interface hierarchy for your application you may well have a 'Base' Interface, you extend other Interfaces from but do not want as an Object in itself.

Example:

public abstract interface MyBaseInterface {
    public String getName();
}

public interface MyBoat extends MyBaseInterface {
    public String getMastSize();
}

public interface MyDog extends MyBaseInterface {
    public long tinsOfFoodPerDay();
}

You do not want a Class to implement the MyBaseInterface, only the other two, MMyDog and MyBoat, but both interfaces share the MyBaseInterface interface, so have a 'name' property.

I know its kinda academic, but I thought some might find it interesting. :-)

It is really just a 'marker' in this case, to signal to implementors of the interface it wasn't designed to be implemented on its own. I should point out a compiler (At least the sun/ora 1.6 I tried it with) compiles a class that implements an abstract interface.

What does the 'standalone' directive mean in XML?

  • The standalone directive is an optional attribute on the XML declaration.
  • Valid values are yes and no, where no is the default value.
  • The attribute is only relevant when a DTD is used. (The attribute is irrelevant when using a schema instead of a DTD.)
  • standalone="yes" means that the XML processor must use the DTD for validation only. In that case it will not be used for:
    • default values for attributes
    • entity declarations
    • normalization
  • Note that standalone="yes" may add validity constraints if the document uses an external DTD. When the document contains things that would require modification of the XML, such as default values for attributes, and standalone="yes" is used then the document is invalid.
  • standalone="yes" may help to optimize performance of document processing.

Source: The standalone pseudo-attribute is only relevant if a DTD is used

Which is a better way to check if an array has more than one element?

if(is_array($arr) && count($arr) > 1)

Just to be sure that $arr is indeed an array.

sizeof is an alias of count, I prefer to use count because:

  1. 1 less character to type
  2. sizeof at a quick glance might mean a size of an array in terms of memory, too technical :(

        mode = os.stat(pathname)[ST_MODE]
        if S_ISDIR(mode):
            # It's a directory, recurse into it
            walktree(pathname, callback)
        elif S_ISREG(mode):

Python: Making a beep noise

On Windows, if you want to just make the computer make a beep sound:

import winsound
frequency = 2500  # Set Frequency To 2500 Hertz
duration = 1000  # Set Duration To 1000 ms == 1 second
winsound.Beep(frequency, duration)

The winsound.Beep() can be used wherever you want the beep to occur.

Send Message in C#

public static extern int FindWindow(string lpClassName, String lpWindowName);

In order to find the window, you need the class name of the window. Here are some examples:

C#:

const string lpClassName = "Winamp v1.x";
IntPtr hwnd = FindWindow(lpClassName, null);

Example from a program that I made, written in VB:

hParent = FindWindow("TfrmMain", vbNullString)

In order to get the class name of a window, you'll need something called Win Spy

Once you have the handle of the window, you can send messages to it using the SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int wMsg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam) function.

hWnd, here, is the result of the FindWindow function. In the above examples, this will be hwnd and hParent. It tells the SendMessage function which window to send the message to.

The second parameter, wMsg, is a constant that signifies the TYPE of message that you are sending. The message might be a keystroke (e.g. send "the enter key" or "the space bar" to a window), but it might also be a command to close the window (WM_CLOSE), a command to alter the window (hide it, show it, minimize it, alter its title, etc.), a request for information within the window (getting the title, getting text within a text box, etc.), and so on. Some common examples include the following:

Public Const WM_CHAR = &H102
Public Const WM_SETTEXT = &HC
Public Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100
Public Const WM_KEYUP = &H101
Public Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN = &H201
Public Const WM_LBUTTONUP = &H202
Public Const WM_CLOSE = &H10
Public Const WM_COMMAND = &H111
Public Const WM_CLEAR = &H303
Public Const WM_DESTROY = &H2
Public Const WM_GETTEXT = &HD
Public Const WM_GETTEXTLENGTH = &HE
Public Const WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK = &H203

These can be found with an API viewer (or a simple text editor, such as notepad) by opening (Microsoft Visual Studio Directory)/Common/Tools/WINAPI/winapi32.txt.

The next two parameters are certain details, if they are necessary. In terms of pressing certain keys, they will specify exactly which specific key is to be pressed.

C# example, setting the text of windowHandle with WM_SETTEXT:

x = SendMessage(windowHandle, WM_SETTEXT, new IntPtr(0), m_strURL);

More examples from a program that I made, written in VB, setting a program's icon (ICON_BIG is a constant which can be found in winapi32.txt):

Call SendMessage(hParent, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, ByVal hIcon)

Another example from VB, pressing the space key (VK_SPACE is a constant which can be found in winapi32.txt):

Call SendMessage(button%, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_SPACE, 0)
Call SendMessage(button%, WM_KEYUP, VK_SPACE, 0)

VB sending a button click (a left button down, and then up):

Call SendMessage(button%, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0&)
Call SendMessage(button%, WM_LBUTTONUP, 0, 0&)

No idea how to set up the listener within a .DLL, but these examples should help in understanding how to send the message.

Abstraction VS Information Hiding VS Encapsulation

Encapsulation- enforcing access to the internal data in a controlled manner or preventing members from being accessed directly.

Abstraction- Hiding the implementation details of certain methods is known as abstraction

Let's understand with the help of an example:-

class Rectangle
{
private int length;
private int breadth;// see the word private that means they cant be accesed from 
outside world.
 //now to make them accessed indirectly define getters and setters methods
void setLength(int length)
{  
// we are adding this condition to prevent users to make any irrelevent changes 
  that is why we have made length private so that they should be set according to 
   certain restrictions
if(length!=0)
{
 this.length=length
 }
void getLength()
{
 return length;
 }
 // same do for breadth
}

now for abstraction define a method that can only be accessed and user doesnt know what is the body of the method and how it is working Let's consider the above example, we can define a method area which calculates the area of the rectangle.

 public int area()
 {
  return length*breadth;
 }

Now, whenever a user uses the above method he will just get the area not the way how it is calculated. We can consider an example of println() method we just know that it is used for printing and we don't know how it prints the data. I have written a blog in detail you can see the below link for more info abstraction vs encapsulation

How to group by week in MySQL?

You can use both YEAR(timestamp) and WEEK(timestamp), and use both of the these expressions in the SELECT and the GROUP BY clause.

Not overly elegant, but functional...

And of course you can combine these two date parts in a single expression as well, i.e. something like

SELECT CONCAT(YEAR(timestamp), '/', WEEK(timestamp)), etc...
FROM ...
WHERE ..
GROUP BY CONCAT(YEAR(timestamp), '/', WEEK(timestamp))

Edit: As Martin points out you can also use the YEARWEEK(mysqldatefield) function, although its output is not as eye friendly as the longer formula above.


Edit 2 [3 1/2 years later!]:
YEARWEEK(mysqldatefield) with the optional second argument (mode) set to either 0 or 2 is probably the best way to aggregate by complete weeks (i.e. including for weeks which straddle over January 1st), if that is what is desired. The YEAR() / WEEK() approach initially proposed in this answer has the effect of splitting the aggregated data for such "straddling" weeks in two: one with the former year, one with the new year.
A clean-cut every year, at the cost of having up to two partial weeks, one at either end, is often desired in accounting etc. and for that the YEAR() / WEEK() approach is better.

How do I import a CSV file in R?

You would use the read.csv function; for example:

dat = read.csv("spam.csv", header = TRUE)

You can also reference this tutorial for more details.

Note: make sure the .csv file to read is in your working directory (using getwd()) or specify the right path to file. If you want, you can set the current directory using setwd.

Best way to remove from NSMutableArray while iterating?

One more variation. So you get readability and good performace:

NSUInteger index = 0;

for (item in originalArrayOfItems) {
    if ([item shouldBeDiscarded])
        [discardedItems addIndex:index];
    index++;
}

[originalArrayOfItems removeObjectsAtIndexes:discardedItems];

D3.js: How to get the computed width and height for an arbitrary element?

.getBoundingClientRect() returns the size of an element and its position relative to the viewport.We can easily get following

Example :

var element = d3.select('.elementClassName').node();
element.getBoundingClientRect().width;

jQuery - Detect value change on hidden input field

It is possible to use Object.defineProperty() in order to redefine the 'value' property of the input element and do anything during its changing.

Object.defineProperty() allows us to define a getter and setter for a property, thus controlling it.

replaceWithWrapper($("#hid1")[0], "value", function(obj, property, value) { 
  console.log("new value:", value)
});

function replaceWithWrapper(obj, property, callback) {
  Object.defineProperty(obj, property, new function() {
    var _value = obj[property];
    return {
      set: function(value) {
        _value = value;
        callback(obj, property, value)
      },
      get: function() {
        return _value;
      }
    }
  });
}

$("#hid1").val(4);

Sum function in VBA

Place the function value into the cell

Application.Sum often does not work well in my experience (or at least the VBA developer environment does not like it for whatever reason).

The function that works best for me is Excel.WorksheetFunction.Sum()

Example:

Dim Report As Worksheet 'Set up your new worksheet variable.
Set Report = Excel.ActiveSheet 'Assign the active sheet to the variable.

Report.Cells(11, 1).Value = Excel.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Report.Range("A1:A10")) 'Add the function result.

Place the function directly into the cell

The other method which you were looking for I think is to place the function directly into the cell. This can be done by inputting the function string into the cell value. Here is an example that provides the same result as above, except the cell value is given the function and not the result of the function:

    Dim Report As Worksheet 'Set up your new worksheet variable.
    Set Report = Excel.ActiveSheet 'Assign the active sheet to the variable.

    Report.Cells(11, 1).Value = "=Sum(A1:A10)" 'Add the function.

Subdomain on different host

sub domain is part of the domain, it's like subletting a room of an apartment. A records has to be setup on the dns for the domain e.g

mydomain.com has IP 123.456.789.999 and hosted with Godaddy. Now to get the sub domain

anothersite.mydomain.com

of which the site is actually on another server then

login to Godaddy and add an A record dnsimple anothersite.mydomain.com and point the IP to the other server 98.22.11.11

And that's it.

    <li value="10">10</li>

    </ul>

    <script src="pathnameofjs" type="text/javascript"></script>

T-SQL - function with default parameters

One way around this problem is to use stored procedures with an output parameter.

exec sp_mysprocname @returnvalue output, @firstparam = 1, @secondparam=2

values you do not pass in default to the defaults set in the stored procedure itself. And you can get the results from your output variable.

no default constructor exists for class

Because you have this:

Blowfish(BlowfishAlgorithm algorithm);

It's not a default constructor. The default constructor is one which takes no parameters. i.e.

Blowfish();

Run a Python script from another Python script, passing in arguments

I think the good practice may be something like this;

import subprocess
cmd = 'python script.py'

p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
out, err = p.communicate() 
result = out.split('\n')
for lin in result:
    if not lin.startswith('#'):
        print(lin)

according to documentation The subprocess module allows you to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes. This module intends to replace several older modules and functions:

os.system
os.spawn*
os.popen*
popen2.*
commands.*

Use communicate() rather than .stdin.write, .stdout.read or .stderr.read to avoid deadlocks due to any of the other OS pipe buffers filling up and blocking the child process. Read Here

How do I check in JavaScript if a value exists at a certain array index?

I ran into this issue using laravel datatables. I was storing a JSON value called properties in an activity log and wanted to show a button based on this value being empty or not.

Well, datatables was interpreting this as an array if it was empty, and an object if it was not, therefore, the following solution worked for me:

render: function (data, type, full) {
    if (full.properties.length !== 0) {
        // do stuff
    }
}

An object does not have a length property.

How can I disable HREF if onclick is executed?

Simply disable default browser behaviour using preventDefault and pass the event within your HTML.

<a href=/foo onclick= yes_js_login(event)>Lorem ipsum</a>

yes_js_login = function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
}

javascript compare strings without being case sensitive

You can make both arguments lower case, and that way you will always end up with a case insensitive search.

var string1 = "aBc";
var string2 = "AbC";

if (string1.toLowerCase() === string2.toLowerCase())
{
    #stuff
}

How can I use random numbers in groovy?

Generate pseudo random numbers between 1 and an [UPPER_LIMIT]

You can use the following to generate a number between 1 and an upper limit.

Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % [UPPER_LIMIT]) + 1

Here is a specific example:

Example - Generate pseudo random numbers in the range 1 to 600:

Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 600) + 1

This will generate a random number within a range for you. In this case 1-600. You can change the value 600 to anything you need in the range of integers.


Generate pseudo random numbers between a [LOWER_LIMIT] and an [UPPER_LIMIT]

If you want to use a lower bound that is not equal to 1 then you can use the following formula.

Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % ([UPPER_LIMIT] - [LOWER_LIMIT])) + [LOWER_LIMIT]

Here is a specific example:

Example - Generate pseudo random numbers in the range of 40 to 99:

Math.abs( new Random().nextInt() % (99 - 40) ) + 40

This will generate a random number within a range of 40 and 99.

How do I evenly add space between a label and the input field regardless of length of text?

You can also used below code

<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .labelClass{
            float: left;
            width: 113px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
  <form action="yourclassName.jsp">
    <span class="labelClass">First name: </span><input type="text" name="fname"><br>
    <span class="labelClass">Last name: </span><input type="text" name="lname"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
</body>
</html>

Capture iframe load complete event

<iframe> elements have a load event for that.


How you listen to that event is up to you, but generally the best way is to:

1) create your iframe programatically

It makes sure your load listener is always called by attaching it before the iframe starts loading.

<script>
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.onload = function() { alert('myframe is loaded'); }; // before setting 'src'
iframe.src = '...'; 
document.body.appendChild(iframe); // add it to wherever you need it in the document
</script>

2) inline javascript, is another way that you can use inside your HTML markup.

<script>
function onMyFrameLoad() {
  alert('myframe is loaded');
};
</script>

<iframe id="myframe" src="..." onload="onMyFrameLoad(this)"></iframe>

3) You may also attach the event listener after the element, inside a <script> tag, but keep in mind that in this case, there is a slight chance that the iframe is already loaded by the time you get to adding your listener. Therefore it's possible that it will not be called (e.g. if the iframe is very very fast, or coming from cache).

<iframe id="myframe" src="..."></iframe>

<script>
document.getElementById('myframe').onload = function() {
  alert('myframe is loaded');
};
</script>

Also see my other answer about which elements can also fire this type of load event

Foreign Key to non-primary key

Primary keys always need to be unique, foreign keys need to allow non-unique values if the table is a one-to-many relationship. It is perfectly fine to use a foreign key as the primary key if the table is connected by a one-to-one relationship, not a one-to-many relationship.

A FOREIGN KEY constraint does not have to be linked only to a PRIMARY KEY constraint in another table; it can also be defined to reference the columns of a UNIQUE constraint in another table.

jQuery DIV click, with anchors

I know that if you were to change that to an href you'd do:

$("a#link1").click(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  $('div.link1').show();
  //whatever else you want to do
});

so if you want to keep it with the div, I'd try

$("div.clickable").click(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  window.location = $(this).attr("url");
});

How to build a Debian/Ubuntu package from source?

If you want a quick and dirty way of installing the build dependencies, use:

apt-get build-dep

This installs the dependencies. You need sources lines in your sources.list for this:

deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free

If you are backporting packages from testing to stable, please be advised that the dependencies might have changed. The command apt-get build-deb installs dependencies for the source packages in your current repository.

But of course, dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc will show you any uninstalled dependencies.

If you want to compile more often, use cowbuilder.

apt-get install cowbuilder

Then create a build-area:

sudo DIST=squeeze ARCH=amd64 cowbuilder --create

Then compile a source package:

apt-get source cowsay

# do your magic editing
dpkg-source -b cowsay-3.03+dfsg1              # build the new source packages
cowbuilder --build cowsay_3.03+dfsg1-2.dsc    # build the packages from source

Watch where cowbuilder puts the resulting package.

Good luck!

How to get content body from a httpclient call?

The way you are using await/async is poor at best, and it makes it hard to follow. You are mixing await with Task'1.Result, which is just confusing. However, it looks like you are looking at a final task result, rather than the contents.

I've rewritten your function and function call, which should fix your issue:

async Task<string> GetResponseString(string text)
{
    var httpClient = new HttpClient();

    var parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    parameters["text"] = text;

    var response = await httpClient.PostAsync(BaseUri, new FormUrlEncodedContent(parameters));
    var contents = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

    return contents;
}

And your final function call:

Task<string> result = GetResponseString(text);
var finalResult = result.Result;

Or even better:

var finalResult = await GetResponseString(text);

How to put text over images in html?

Detect if the app was launched/opened from a push notification

If you are running iOS 13 or above use this code in your SceneDelegate:

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
    
    guard let notificationResponse = connectionOptions.notificationResponse else { return }
    
    let pushTitle = notificationResponse.notification.request.content.title
    let pushSubtitle = notificationResponse.notification.request.content.subtitle
    let pushBody = notificationResponse.notification.request.content.body
    
    // do your staff here
}

"End of script output before headers" error in Apache

If using Suexec, ensure that the script and its directory are owned by the same user you specified in suexec.

In addition, ensure that the user running the cgi script has permissions execute permissions to the file AND the program specified in the shebang.

For example if my cgi script starts with

#! /usr/bin/cgirunner

Then the user needs permissions to execute /usr/bin/cgirunner.

Is there a difference between PhoneGap and Cordova commands?

Above, Abhishek mentions the command line differences specified in two URLS:

  1. PhoneGap: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_cli_index.md.html

  2. Cordova: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-line%20Interface

One thing to point out is that, as of this post, the phonegap one looks to be almost the same as the cordova one, and is probably not an accurate image of the command line option differences. As such, I installed both on my system so I could look at the differences.

These are just a few of them. Hopefully they are brought more in sync sometime. If anyone has better information, please tell me.

  1. Adding platforms seems to be done differently between the two commands ( phonegap uses "install" command, cordova uses "platform add" command )
  2. Adding/creating projects seems to be the same between the two commands ( same command line options supported )
  3. Obviously, as has been stated, phonegap can use PhoneGap Build, so it has the corresponding options to trigger that or local builds
  4. Quite a few other significant command line differences, simply by running "cordova help" and "phonegap help" and comparing the two.

I guess my point is that the phonegap CLI documention mentioned quite often is not really for the phonegap CLI, but for the cordova CLI, at this time. Please tell me if I am missing something. Thanks.

How to convert object to Dictionary<TKey, TValue> in C#?

this should work:

for numbers, strings, date, etc.:

    public static void MyMethod(object obj)
    {
        if (typeof(IDictionary).IsAssignableFrom(obj.GetType()))
        {
            IDictionary idict = (IDictionary)obj;

            Dictionary<string, string> newDict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
            foreach (object key in idict.Keys)
            {
                newDict.Add(key.ToString(), idict[key].ToString());
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // My object is not a dictionary
        }
    }

if your dictionary also contains some other objects:

    public static void MyMethod(object obj)
    {
        if (typeof(IDictionary).IsAssignableFrom(obj.GetType()))
        {
            IDictionary idict = (IDictionary)obj;
            Dictionary<string, string> newDict = new Dictionary<string, string>();

            foreach (object key in idict.Keys)
            {
                newDict.Add(objToString(key), objToString(idict[key]));
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // My object is not a dictionary
        }
    }

    private static string objToString(object obj)
    {
        string str = "";
        if (obj.GetType().FullName == "System.String")
        {
            str = (string)obj;
        }
        else if (obj.GetType().FullName == "test.Testclass")
        {
            TestClass c = (TestClass)obj;
            str = c.Info;
        }
        return str;
    }

Using C++ filestreams (fstream), how can you determine the size of a file?

Don't use tellg to determine the exact size of the file. The length determined by tellg will be larger than the number of characters can be read from the file.

From stackoverflow question tellg() function give wrong size of file? tellg does not report the size of the file, nor the offset from the beginning in bytes. It reports a token value which can later be used to seek to the same place, and nothing more. (It's not even guaranteed that you can convert the type to an integral type.). For Windows (and most non-Unix systems), in text mode, there is no direct and immediate mapping between what tellg returns and the number of bytes you must read to get to that position.

If it is important to know exactly how many bytes you can read, the only way of reliably doing so is by reading. You should be able to do this with something like:

#include <fstream>
#include <limits>

ifstream file;
file.open(name,std::ios::in|std::ios::binary);
file.ignore( std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max() );
std::streamsize length = file.gcount();
file.clear();   //  Since ignore will have set eof.
file.seekg( 0, std::ios_base::beg );

css 100% width div not taking up full width of parent

The problem is caused by your #grid having a width:1140px.

You need to set a min-width:1140px on the body.

This will stop the body from getting smaller than the #grid. Remove width:100% as block level elements take up the available width by default. Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/tw16/LX8R3/

html, body{
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    min-width: 1140px; /* this is the important part*/
}
#grid-container{
    background:#f8f8f8 url(../images/grid-container-bg.gif) repeat-x top left;
}
#grid{
    width:1140px;
    margin:0px auto;
}

How to set the font size in Emacs?

Here's an option for resizing the font heights interactively, one point at a time:

;; font sizes
(global-set-key (kbd "s-=")
                (lambda ()
                  (interactive)
                  (let ((old-face-attribute (face-attribute 'default :height)))
                    (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height (+ old-face-attribute 10)))))

(global-set-key (kbd "s--")
                (lambda ()
                  (interactive)
                  (let ((old-face-attribute (face-attribute 'default :height)))
                    (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height (- old-face-attribute 10)))))

This is preferable when you want to resize text in all buffers. I don't like solutions using text-scale-increase and text-scale-decrease as line numbers in the gutter can get cut off afterwards.

Binding ConverterParameter

The ConverterParameter property can not be bound because it is not a dependency property.

Since Binding is not derived from DependencyObject none of its properties can be dependency properties. As a consequence, a Binding can never be the target object of another Binding.

There is however an alternative solution. You could use a MultiBinding with a multi-value converter instead of a normal Binding:

<Style TargetType="FrameworkElement">
    <Setter Property="Visibility">
        <Setter.Value>
            <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource AccessLevelToVisibilityConverter}">
                <Binding Path="Tag" RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,
                                                     AncestorType=UserControl}"/>
                <Binding Path="Tag" RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Mode=Self}"/>
            </MultiBinding>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

The multi-value converter gets an array of source values as input:

public class AccessLevelToVisibilityConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(
        object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return values.All(v => (v is bool && (bool)v))
            ? Visibility.Visible
            : Visibility.Hidden;
    }

    public object[] ConvertBack(
        object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

Why does this iterative list-growing code give IndexError: list assignment index out of range?

j is an empty list, but you're attempting to write to element [0] in the first iteration, which doesn't exist yet.

Try the following instead, to add a new element to the end of the list:

for l in i:
    j.append(l)

Of course, you'd never do this in practice if all you wanted to do was to copy an existing list. You'd just do:

j = list(i)

Alternatively, if you wanted to use the Python list like an array in other languages, then you could pre-create a list with its elements set to a null value (None in the example below), and later, overwrite the values in specific positions:

i = [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]
j = [None] * len(i)
#j == [None, None, None, None, None, None]
k = 0

for l in i:
   j[k] = l
   k += 1

The thing to realise is that a list object will not allow you to assign a value to an index that doesn't exist.
