OpenSSL and error in reading openssl.conf file

I was also facing same issue. Below are the steps to resolve it.

  1. check your openssl version

openssl version

  1. If your version is below

OpenSSL 1.1.1h 22 Sep 2020

  1. go to below link and download latest full version of openssl. openssl windows installer
  2. After installation add openssl path at the top of 'PATH' variable in system path.
  3. confirm your version is latest by opening new command prompt and running command in step 1
  4. Now you're ready to run the command again and this time it will work.

tmux status bar configuration

I used tmux-powerline to fully pimp my tmux status bar. I was googling for a way to change to background of the status bar when your typing a tmux command. When I stumbled on this post I thought I should mention it for completeness.

Update: This project is in a maintenance mode and no future functionality is likely to be added. tmux-powerline, with all other powerline projects, is replaced by the new unifying powerline. However this project is still functional and can serve as a lightweight alternative for non-python users.

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: Yes) after password reset LINUX

Actually I took a closer look at the user table in mysql database, turns out someone prior to me edited the ssl_type field for user root to SSL.

I edited that field and restarted mysql and it worked like a charm.

Thanks.

How to read AppSettings values from a .json file in ASP.NET Core

The .NET Core 2.2 way

(No doubt Microsoft will change it again to something completely different in the next .NET version.)

1. appSettings.json

It may look something like this. Here we will be loading Setting1 and Setting2

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "AllowedHosts": "*",
  "Setting1": "abc",
  "Setting2": 123
}

2. AppSettings.cs

The POCO class to hold Setting1 and Setting2. We will be loading the appsettings.json into this class object. The structure of the POCO class should match the JSON file, properties may be nested within other properties/classes if desired.

public class AppSettings
{
    public string Setting1 { get; set; }
    public int Setting2 { get; set; }
}

3 Startup.cs

Load appSettings.json into you AppSettings object and start using it:

public class Startup
{
    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        AppSettings settings = new AppSettings();

        Configuration = configuration;
        configuration.Bind(settings);

        // Now start using it
        string setting1 = settings.Setting1;
        int setting2 = settings.Setting2;
    }

Is the buildSessionFactory() Configuration method deprecated in Hibernate

In hibernate 5.3.1, you can try this:

ServiceRegistry standardRegistry = 
                new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().configure().build();

Metadata sources = new MetadataSources(standardRegistry).addAnnotatedClass(MyEntity.class).getMetadataBuilder().build();

SessionFactory sf = sources.buildSessionFactory();

How to run multiple sites on one apache instance

Your question is mixing a few different concepts. You started out saying you wanted to run sites on the same server using the same domain, but in different folders. That doesn't require any special setup. Once you get the single domain running, you just create folders under that docroot.

Based on the rest of your question, what you really want to do is run various sites on the same server with their own domain names.

The best documentation you'll find on the topic is the virtual host documentation in the apache manual.

There are two types of virtual hosts: name-based and IP-based. Name-based allows you to use a single IP address, while IP-based requires a different IP for each site. Based on your description above, you want to use name-based virtual hosts.

The initial error you were getting was due to the fact that you were using different ports than the NameVirtualHost line. If you really want to have sites served from ports other than 80, you'll need to have a NameVirtualHost entry for each port.

Assuming you're starting from scratch, this is much simpler than it may seem.

If you are using 2.3 or earlier, the first thing you need to do is tell Apache that you're going to use name-based virtual hosts.

NameVirtualHost *:80

If you are using 2.4 or later do not add a NameVirtualHost line. Version 2.4 of Apache deprecated the NameVirtualHost directive, and it will be removed in a future version.

Now your vhost definitions:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/home/user/site1/"
    ServerName site1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/home/user/site2/"
    ServerName site2
</VirtualHost>

You can run as many sites as you want on the same port. The ServerName being different is enough to tell Apache which vhost to use. Also, the ServerName directive is always the domain/hostname and should never include a path.

If you decide to run sites on a port other than 80, you'll always have to include the port number in the URL when accessing the site. So instead of going to http://example.com you would have to go to http://example.com:81

How to initialize log4j properly?

If we are using apache commons logging wrapper on top of log4j, then we need to have both the jars available in classpath. Also, commons-logging.properties and log4j.properties/xml should be available in classpath.

We can also pass implementation class and log4j.properties name as JAVA_OPTS either using -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=<logging implementation class name> -Dlog4j.configuration=<file:location of log4j.properties/xml file>. Same can be done via setting JAVA_OPTS in case of app/web server.

It will help to externalize properties which can be changed in deployment.

How to configure postgresql for the first time?

correct configuration for nginx to localhost?

Fundamentally you hadn't declare location which is what nginx uses to bind URL with resources.

 server {
            listen       80;
            server_name  localhost;

            access_log  logs/localhost.access.log  main;

            location / {
                root /var/www/board/public;
                index index.html index.htm index.php;
            }
       }

Difference between <context:annotation-config> and <context:component-scan>

you can find more information in spring context schema file. following is in spring-context-4.3.xsd

<conxtext:annotation-config />
Activates various annotations to be detected in bean classes: Spring's @Required and
@Autowired, as well as JSR 250's @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy and @Resource (if available),
JAX-WS's @WebServiceRef (if available), EJB 3's @EJB (if available), and JPA's
@PersistenceContext and @PersistenceUnit (if available). Alternatively, you may
choose to activate the individual BeanPostProcessors for those annotations.

Note: This tag does not activate processing of Spring's @Transactional or EJB 3's
@TransactionAttribute annotation. Consider the use of the <tx:annotation-driven>
tag for that purpose.
<context:component-scan>
Scans the classpath for annotated components that will be auto-registered as
Spring beans. By default, the Spring-provided @Component, @Repository, @Service, @Controller, @RestController, @ControllerAdvice, and @Configuration stereotypes    will be detected.

Note: This tag implies the effects of the 'annotation-config' tag, activating @Required,
@Autowired, @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy, @Resource, @PersistenceContext and @PersistenceUnit
annotations in the component classes, which is usually desired for autodetected components
(without external configuration). Turn off the 'annotation-config' attribute to deactivate
this default behavior, for example in order to use custom BeanPostProcessor definitions
for handling those annotations.

Note: You may use placeholders in package paths, but only resolved against system
properties (analogous to resource paths). A component scan results in new bean definitions
being registered; Spring's PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer will apply to those bean
definitions just like to regular bean definitions, but it won't apply to the component
scan settings themselves.

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

(In Windows and Apache 2.2.x)

The "Forbidden" error is also the result of not having virtual hosts defined.

As noted by Julien, if you intend to use virtual hosts.conf, then go to the httpd file and uncomment the following line:

#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Then add your virtual hosts definitions in conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and restart Apache.

How to make spring inject value into a static field

As these answers are old, I found this alternative. It is very clean and works with just java annotations:

To fix it, create a “none static setter” to assign the injected value for the static variable. For example :

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class GlobalValue {

public static String DATABASE;

@Value("${mongodb.db}")
public void setDatabase(String db) {
    DATABASE = db;
}
}

Using ConfigurationManager to load config from an arbitrary location

Use XML processing:

var appPath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
var configPath = Path.Combine(appPath, baseFileName);;
var root = XElement.Load(configPath);

// can call root.Elements(...)

What should I set JAVA_HOME environment variable on macOS X 10.6?

I just set JAVA_HOME to the output of that command, which should give you the Java path specified in your Java preferences. Here's a snippet from my .bashrc file, which sets this variable:

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

I haven't experienced any problems with that technique.

Occasionally I do have to change the value of JAVA_HOME to an earlier version of Java. For example, one program I'm maintaining requires 32-bit Java 5 on OS X, so when using that program, I set JAVA_HOME by running:

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.5)

For those of you who don't have java_home in your path add it like this.

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java_home /usr/libexec/java_home

Where to install Android SDK on Mac OS X?

My personal preference is to put it in ~/opt/local/android-sdk-mac or /Developer/android-sdk-mac the latter being where Xcode and all the Apple Dev tools are held.

How to select different app.config for several build configurations

I have heard good things about SlowCheetah, but was unable to get it to work. I did the following: add am tag to each for a specific configuration.

Ex:

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'UAT|AnyCPU'">
    <OutputPath>bin\UAT\</OutputPath>
    <PlatformTarget>AnyCPU</PlatformTarget>
    <DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType>
    <Optimize>true</Optimize>
    <DefineConstants>TRACE</DefineConstants>
    <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
    <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel>
    <AppConfig>App.UAT.config</AppConfig>
  </PropertyGroup>

app.config for a class library

I don't know why this answer hasn't already been given:

Different callers of the same library will, in general, use different configurations. This implies that the configuration must reside in the executable application, and not in the class library.

You may create an app.config within the class library project. It will contain default configurations for items you create within the library. For instance, it will contain connection strings if you create an Entity Framework model within the class library.

However, these settings will not be used by the executable application calling the library. Instead, these settings may be copied from the library.dll.config file into the app.config or web.config of the caller, so that they may be changed to be specific to the caller, and to the environment into which the caller is deployed.

This is how it has been with .NET since Day 1.

Hadoop cluster setup - java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Make sure HDFS is online. Start it by $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/start-dfs.sh Once you do that, your test with telnet localhost 9001should work.

How to configure Glassfish Server in Eclipse manually

Where to place and how to read configuration resource files in servlet based application?

It just needs to be in the classpath (aka make sure it ends up under /WEB-INF/classes in the .war as part of the build).

Turning off auto indent when pasting text into vim

The following vim plugin handles that automatically through its "Bracketed Paste" mode: https://github.com/wincent/terminus

Sets up "Bracketed Paste" mode, which means you can forget about manually setting the 'paste' option and simply go ahead and paste in any mode.

Configuring Hibernate logging using Log4j XML config file?

The answers were useful. After the change, I got duplicate logging of SQL statements, one in the log4j log file and one on the standard console. I changed the persistence.xml file to say show_sql to false to get rid of logging from the standard console. Keeping format_sql true also affects the log4j log file, so I kept that true.

How to use ConfigurationManager

Go to tools >> nuget >> console and type:

Install-Package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager 

If you want a specific version:

Install-Package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager -Version 4.5.0

Your ConfigurationManager dll will now be imported and the code will begin to work.

How to force reloading php.ini file?

TL;DR; If you're still having trouble after restarting apache or nginx, also try restarting the php-fpm service.

The answers here don't always satisfy the requirement to force a reload of the php.ini file. On numerous occasions I've taken these steps to be rewarded with no update, only to find the solution I need after also restarting the php-fpm service. So if restarting apache or nginx doesn't trigger a php.ini update although you know the files are updated, try restarting php-fpm as well.

To restart the service:

Note: prepend sudo if not root

Using SysV Init scripts directly:

/etc/init.d/php-fpm restart        # typical
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart       # debian-style
/etc/init.d/php7.0-fpm restart     # debian-style PHP 7

Using service wrapper script

service php-fpm restart        # typical
service php5-fpm restart       # debian-style
service php7.0-fpm restart.    # debian-style PHP 7

Using Upstart (e.g. ubuntu):

restart php7.0-fpm         # typical (ubuntu is debian-based) PHP 7
restart php5-fpm           # typical (ubuntu is debian-based)
restart php-fpm            # uncommon

Using systemd (newer servers):

systemctl restart php-fpm.service        # typical
systemctl restart php5-fpm.service       # uncommon
systemctl restart php7.0-fpm.service     # uncommon PHP 7

Or whatever the equivalent is on your system.

The above commands taken directly from this server fault answer

Datanode process not running in Hadoop

Check whether the hadoop.tmp.dir property in the core-site.xml is correctly set. If you set it, navigate to this directory, and remove or empty this directory. If you didn't set it, you navigate to its default folder /tmp/hadoop-${user.name}, likewise remove or empty this directory.

How can you change Network settings (IP Address, DNS, WINS, Host Name) with code in C#

Just made this in a few minutes:

using System;
using System.Management;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication_CS
{
  class NetworkManagement
  {
    public void setIP(string ip_address, string subnet_mask)
    {
      ManagementClass objMC =

          newIP["IPAddress"] = new string[] { ip_address };
          newIP["SubnetMask"] = new string[] { subnet_mask };

          setIP = objMO.InvokeMethod("EnableStatic", newIP, null);
        }

          newGateway["DefaultIPGateway"] = new string[] { gateway };
          newGateway["GatewayCostMetric"] = new int[] { 1 };

          setGateway = objMO.InvokeMethod("SetGateways", newGateway, null);

        {
          // if you are using the System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface
          // you'll need to change this line to
          // if (objMO["Caption"].ToString().Contains(NIC))
          // and pass in the Description property instead of the name 
          if (objMO["Caption"].Equals(NIC))
          {
            ManagementBaseObject newDNS =
              objMO.GetMethodParameters("SetDNSServerSearchOrder");
            newDNS["DNSServerSearchOrder"] = DNS.Split(',');
            ManagementBaseObject setDNS =
              objMO.InvokeMethod("SetDNSServerSearchOrder", newDNS, null);
          }

          }
        }
      }
    } 
  }
}

Spring cannot find bean xml configuration file when it does exist

Note that the first applicationContext is loaded as part of web.xml; which is mentioned with the below.

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>myOwn-controller</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Where as below code will also tries to create one more applicationContext.

private static final ApplicationContext context = 
               new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");

See the difference between beans.xml and applicationContext.xml

And if appliationContext.xml under <META-INF/spring/> has declared with <import resource="beans.xml"/> then this appliationContext.xml is loading the beans.xml under the same location META-INF/spring of appliationContext.xml.

Where as; in the code; if it is declared like below

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");

This is looking the beans.xml at WEB-INF/classes OR in eclipse src/main/resources.

[If you have added beans.xml at src/main/resources then it might be placed at WEB-INF/classes while creating the WAR.]

So totally TWO files are looked up.

I have resolved this issue by adding classpath lookup while importing at applicationContext.xml like below

<import resource="classpath*:beans.xml" />

and removed the the line ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml") in java code, so that there will be only one ApplicationContext loaded.

How to import a module given the full path?

You can also do something like this and add the directory that the configuration file is sitting in to the Python load path, and then just do a normal import, assuming you know the name of the file in advance, in this case "config".

Messy, but it works.

configfile = '~/config.py'

import os
import sys

sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.expanduser(configfile)))

import config

How do I use Notepad++ (or other) with msysgit?

How to fix: Handler "PageHandlerFactory-Integrated" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list

in some scenario this error occurs because the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 configuration for ASP .NET has been damaged, which can occur if Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 was installed before Visual Studio 2010 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008.

After trying different things i reached the conclusion, repair you .Net installation by running following command. For more information follow the link.

How to get config parameters in Symfony2 Twig Templates

Easily, you can define in your config file:

twig:
    globals:
        version: "0.1.0"

And access it in your template with

{{ version }}

Otherwise it must be a way with an Twig extension to expose your parameters.

Best practices when running Node.js with port 80 (Ubuntu / Linode)

Port 80

What I do on my cloud instances is I redirect port 80 to port 3000 with this command:

sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3000

Then I launch my Node.js on port 3000. Requests to port 80 will get mapped to port 3000.

You should also edit your /etc/rc.local file and add that line minus the sudo. That will add the redirect when the machine boots up. You don't need sudo in /etc/rc.local because the commands there are run as root when the system boots.

Logs

Use the forever module to launch your Node.js with. It will make sure that it restarts if it ever crashes and it will redirect console logs to a file.

Launch on Boot

Add your Node.js start script to the file you edited for port redirection, /etc/rc.local. That will run your Node.js launch script when the system starts.

Digital Ocean & other VPS

This not only applies to Linode, but Digital Ocean, AWS EC2 and other VPS providers as well. However, on RedHat based systems /etc/rc.local is /ect/rc.d/local.

How to set index.html as root file in Nginx?

For me, the try_files directive in the (currently most voted) answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/11957896/608359 led to rewrite cycles,

*173 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting

I had better luck with the index directive. Note that I used a forward slash before the name, which might or might not be what you want.

server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name example.com;

  root /home/dclo/example;
  index /index.html;
  error_page 404 /index.html;

  # ... ssl configuration
}

In this case, I wanted all paths to lead to /index.html, including when returning a 404.

Spring Boot: Is it possible to use external application.properties files in arbitrary directories with a fat jar?

I know it is a pointed question, and the op wanted to load different properties file.

My answer is, doing custom hacks like this is a terrible idea.

If you are using spring-boot with a cloud provider such as cloud foundry, please do yourself a favor and use cloud config services

https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-config

It loads and merges default/dev/project-default/project-dev specific properties like magic

Again, Spring boot already gives you enough ways to do this right https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html

Please do not re-invent the wheel.

Nginx 403 error: directory index of [folder] is forbidden

I encountered similar error
--- "403 Forbidden" in the webpage
--- "13: Permission denied" in the error log at /var/log/nginx/error.log

Below 3 Steps worked for me:

1: Open Terminal, saw something like below

user1@comp1:/home/www/

So, my user name is "user1" (from above)

2: Changed user in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

# user www-data;
user user1;

3: Reloaded the nginx

sudo nginx -s reload  

Additionally, I have applied file/folder permissions (before I did above 3 steps)
(755 to my directory, say /dir1/) & (644 for files under that directory):
(I am not sure, if this additional step is really required, just above 3 steps might be enough):

chmod 755 ./dir1/
chmod 644 ./dir1/*.*

Hope this helps quick someone. Best of luck.

ASP.NET Core configuration for .NET Core console application

For a .NET Core 2.0 console app, I did the following:

  1. Create a new file named appsettings.json at the root of the project (the file name can be anything)
  2. Add my specific settings to that file as json. For example:
{
  "myKey1" :  "my test value 1", 
  "myKey2" :  "my test value 2", 
  "foo" :  "bar" 
}
  1. Configure to copy the file to the output directory whenever the project is built (in VS -> Solution Explorer -> right-click file -> select 'Properties' -> Advanced -> Copy to Output Directory -> select 'Copy Always')

  2. Install the following nuget package in my project:

    • Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
  3. Add the following to Program.cs (or wherever Main() is located):

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
            .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");
    
        var configuration = builder.Build();
    
        // rest of code...
    }
    
  4. Then read the values using either of the following ways:

    string myKey1 = configuration["myKey1"];
    Console.WriteLine(myKey1);
    
    string foo = configuration.GetSection("foo").Value;
    Console.WriteLine(foo);

Unix command-line JSON parser?

I have created a module specifically designed for command-line JSON manipulation:

https://github.com/ddopson/underscore-cli

  • FLEXIBLE - THE "swiss-army-knife" tool for processing JSON data - can be used as a simple pretty-printer, or as a full-powered Javascript command-line
  • POWERFUL - Exposes the full power and functionality of underscore.js (plus underscore.string)
  • SIMPLE - Makes it simple to write JS one-liners similar to using "perl -pe"
  • CHAINED - Multiple command invokations can be chained together to create a data processing pipeline
  • MULTI-FORMAT - Rich support for input / output formats - pretty-printing, strict JSON, etc [coming soon]
  • DOCUMENTED - Excellent command-line documentation with multiple examples for every command

It allows you to do powerful things really easily:

cat earthporn.json | underscore select '.data .title'
# [ 'Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon, Iceland [OC] [683x1024]',
#   'New town, Edinburgh, Scotland [4320 x 3240]',
#   'Sunrise in Bryce Canyon, UT [1120x700] [OC]',
# ...
#   'Kariega Game Reserve, South Africa [3584x2688]',
#   'Valle de la Luna, Chile [OS] [1024x683]',
#   'Frosted trees after a snowstorm in Laax, Switzerland [OC] [1072x712]' ]

cat earthporn.json | underscore select '.data .title' | underscore count
# 25

underscore map --data '[1, 2, 3, 4]' 'value+1'
# prints: [ 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

underscore map --data '{"a": [1, 4], "b": [2, 8]}' '_.max(value)'
# [ 4, 8 ]

echo '{"foo":1, "bar":2}' | underscore map -q 'console.log("key = ", key)'
# key = foo
# key = bar

underscore pluck --data "[{name : 'moe', age : 40}, {name : 'larry', age : 50}, {name : 'curly', age : 60}]" name
# [ 'moe', 'larry', 'curly' ]

underscore keys --data '{name : "larry", age : 50}'
# [ 'name', 'age' ]

underscore reduce --data '[1, 2, 3, 4]' 'total+value'
# 10

And it has one of the best "smart-whitespace" JSON formatters available:

If you have any feature requests, comment on this post or add an issue in github. I'd be glad to prioritize features that are needed by members of the community.

Debugging Spring configuration

If you use Spring Boot, you can also enable a “debug” mode by starting your application with a --debug flag.

java -jar myapp.jar --debug

You can also specify debug=true in your application.properties.

When the debug mode is enabled, a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate, and Spring Boot) are configured to output more information. Enabling the debug mode does not configure your application to log all messages with DEBUG level.

Alternatively, you can enable a “trace” mode by starting your application with a --trace flag (or trace=true in your application.properties). Doing so enables trace logging for a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate schema generation, and the whole Spring portfolio).

sendmail: how to configure sendmail on ubuntu?

I got the top answer working (can't reply yet) after one small edit

This did not work for me:

FEATURE('authinfo','hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl

The first single quote for each string should be changed to a backtick (`) like this:

FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl

After the change I run:

sudo sendmailconfig

And I'm in business :)

How do I prevent a Gateway Timeout with FastCGI on Nginx

Proxy timeouts are well, for proxies, not for FastCGI...

The directives that affect FastCGI timeouts are client_header_timeout, client_body_timeout and send_timeout.

Edit: Considering what's found on nginx wiki, the send_timeout directive is responsible for setting general timeout of response (which was bit misleading). For FastCGI there's fastcgi_read_timeout which is affecting the fastcgi process response timeout.

HTH.

How to set the java.library.path from Eclipse

If you are adding it as a VM argument, make sure you prefix it with -D:

-Djava.library.path=blahblahblah...

If using maven, usually you put log4j.properties under java or resources?

The resources used for initializing the project are preferably put in src/main/resources folder. To enable loading of these resources during the build, one can simply add entries in the pom.xml in maven project as a build resource

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering> 
        </resource>
    </resources>
</build> 

Other .properties files can also be kept in this folder used for initialization. Filtering is set true if you want to have some variables in the properties files of resources folder and populate them from the profile filters properties files, which are kept in src/main/filters which is set as profiles but it is a different use case altogether. For now, you can ignore them.

This is a great resource maven resource plugins, it's useful, just browse through other sections too.

Eclipse fonts and background color

If you are having trouble with Eclipse 2019 and using a dark theme and setting the background and having it not change: There seems to be a recent Eclipse bug. I suggest you look here or here for workarounds.

Avoid web.config inheritance in child web application using inheritInChildApplications

I put everything into:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
....
</location>

except: <configSections/>, <connectionStrings/> and <runtime/>.

There are some cases when we don't want to inherit some secions from <configSections />, but we can't put <section/> tag into <location/>, so we have to create a <secionGroup /> and put our unwanted sections into that group. Section groups can be later inserted into a location tag.

So we have to change this:

<configSections>
  <section name="unwantedSection" />
</configSections>

Into:

<configSections>
  <sectionGroup name="myNotInheritedSections">
    <section name="unwantedSection" />
  </sectionGroup>
</configSections>

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
    <myNotInheritedSections>
        <unwantedSection />
    </myNotInheritedSections>
</location>

At the tops of these files are comments defining where my.cnf can be found.

Redis - Connect to Remote Server

  • if you downloaded redis yourself (not apt-get install redis-server) and then edited the redis.conf with the above suggestions, make sure your start redis with the config like so: ./src/redis-server redis.conf

Where are my postgres *.conf files?

My installation is not default, but you can go to directory the Postgres and find subdirectory \Data.

Configuration Files C:\Postgres\Data\postgresql.conf C:\Postgres\Data\pg_hba.conf

Query a parameter (postgresql.conf setting) like "max_connections"

You can use SHOW:

SHOW max_connections;

This returns the currently effective setting. Be aware that it can differ from the setting in postgresql.conf as there are a multiple ways to set run-time parameters in PostgreSQL. To reset the "original" setting from postgresql.conf in your current session:

RESET max_connections;

However, not applicable to this particular setting. The manual:

This parameter can only be set at server start.

To see all settings:

SHOW ALL;

There is also pg_settings:

The view pg_settings provides access to run-time parameters of the server. It is essentially an alternative interface to the SHOW and SET commands. It also provides access to some facts about each parameter that are not directly available from SHOW, such as minimum and maximum values.

For your original request:

SELECT *
FROM   pg_settings
WHERE  name = 'max_connections';

Finally, there is current_setting(), which can be nested in DML statements:

SELECT current_setting('max_connections');

Difference between using bean id and name in Spring configuration file

let me answer below question

Is there any difference between using an id attribute and using a name attribute on a <bean> tag,

There is no difference. you will experience same effect when id or name is used on a <bean> tag .

How?

Both id and name attributes are giving us a means to provide identifier value to a bean (For this moment, think id means id but not identifier). In both the cases, you will see same result if you call applicationContext.getBean("bean-identifier"); .

Take @Bean, the java equivalent of <bean> tag, you wont find an id attribute. you can give your identifier value to @Bean only through name attribute.

Let me explain it through an example :
Take this configuration file, let's call it as spring1.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans ...>
  <bean id="foo" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
  <bean id="bar" class="com.intertech.Bar"></bean>
</beans>

Spring returns Foo object for, Foo f = (Foo) context.getBean("foo"); . Replace id="foo" with name="foo" in the above spring1.xml, You will still see the same result.

Define your xml configuration like,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans ...>
  <bean id="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
  <bean name="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
</beans>

You will get BeanDefinitionParsingException. It will say, Bean name 'fooIdentifier' is already used in this element. By the way, This is the same exception you will see if you have below config
<bean name="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
<bean name="fooIdentifier" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>


If you keep both id and name to the bean tag, the bean is said to have 2 identifiers. you can get the same bean with any identifier. take config as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br>
<beans ...>
  <bean id="fooById" name="fooByName" class="com.intertech.Foo"></bean>
  <bean id="bar" class="com.intertech.Bar"></bean>
</beans>

the following code prints true

FileSystemXmlApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(...);
Foo fooById = (Foo) context.getBean("fooById")// returns Foo object;
Foo fooByName = (Foo) context.getBean("fooByName")// returns Foo object;
System.out.println(fooById == fooByName) //true

Cannot use a leading ../ to exit above the top directory

I got same problem... and I did it.

My code before:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.default.css" type="text/css" />

And the problem solved after I changed my code into this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.default.css" type="text/css" />

So I think "href=../" is not allowed, because I don't have problem when I use "../" in "src=../"

How to implement a ConfigurationSection with a ConfigurationElementCollection

If you are looking for a custom configuration section like following

<CustomApplicationConfig>
        <Credentials Username="itsme" Password="mypassword"/>
        <PrimaryAgent Address="10.5.64.26" Port="3560"/>
        <SecondaryAgent Address="10.5.64.7" Port="3570"/>
        <Site Id="123" />
        <Lanes>
          <Lane Id="1" PointId="north" Direction="Entry"/>
          <Lane Id="2" PointId="south" Direction="Exit"/>
        </Lanes> 
</CustomApplicationConfig>

then you can use my implementation of configuration section so to get started add System.Configuration assembly reference to your project

Look at the each nested elements I used, First one is Credentials with two attributes so lets add it first

Credentials Element

public class CredentialsConfigElement : System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement
    {
        [ConfigurationProperty("Username")]
        public string Username
        {
            get 
            {
                return base["Username"] as string;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("Password")]
        public string Password
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Password"] as string;
            }
        }
    }

PrimaryAgent and SecondaryAgent

Both has the same attributes and seem like a Address to a set of servers for a primary and a failover, so you just need to create one element class for both of those like following

public class ServerInfoConfigElement : ConfigurationElement
    {
        [ConfigurationProperty("Address")]
        public string Address
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Address"] as string;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("Port")]
        public int? Port
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Port"] as int?;
            }
        }
    }

I'll explain how to use two different element with one class later in this post, let us skip the SiteId as there is no difference in it. You just have to create one class same as above with one property only. let us see how to implement Lanes collection

it is splitted in two parts first you have to create an element implementation class then you have to create collection element class

LaneConfigElement

public class LaneConfigElement : ConfigurationElement
    {
        [ConfigurationProperty("Id")]
        public string Id
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Id"] as string;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("PointId")]
        public string PointId
        {
            get
            {
                return base["PointId"] as string;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("Direction")]
        public Direction? Direction
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Direction"] as Direction?;
            }
        }
    }

    public enum Direction
    { 
        Entry,
        Exit
    }

you can notice that one attribute of LanElement is an Enumeration and if you try to use any other value in configuration which is not defined in Enumeration application will throw an System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException on startup. Ok lets move on to Collection Definition

[ConfigurationCollection(typeof(LaneConfigElement), AddItemName = "Lane", CollectionType = ConfigurationElementCollectionType.BasicMap)]
    public class LaneConfigCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
    {
        public LaneConfigElement this[int index]
        {
            get { return (LaneConfigElement)BaseGet(index); }
            set
            {
                if (BaseGet(index) != null)
                {
                    BaseRemoveAt(index);
                }
                BaseAdd(index, value);
            }
        }

        public void Add(LaneConfigElement serviceConfig)
        {
            BaseAdd(serviceConfig);
        }

        public void Clear()
        {
            BaseClear();
        }

        protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
        {
            return new LaneConfigElement();
        }

        protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
        {
            return ((LaneConfigElement)element).Id;
        }

        public void Remove(LaneConfigElement serviceConfig)
        {
            BaseRemove(serviceConfig.Id);
        }

        public void RemoveAt(int index)
        {
            BaseRemoveAt(index);
        }

        public void Remove(String name)
        {
            BaseRemove(name);
        }

    }

you can notice that I have set the AddItemName = "Lane" you can choose whatever you like for your collection entry item, i prefer to use "add" the default one but i changed it just for the sake of this post.

Now all of our nested Elements have been implemented now we should aggregate all of those in a class which has to implement System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection

CustomApplicationConfigSection

public class CustomApplicationConfigSection : System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection
    {
        private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(CustomApplicationConfigSection));
        public const string SECTION_NAME = "CustomApplicationConfig";

        [ConfigurationProperty("Credentials")]
        public CredentialsConfigElement Credentials
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Credentials"] as CredentialsConfigElement;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("PrimaryAgent")]
        public ServerInfoConfigElement PrimaryAgent
        {
            get
            {
                return base["PrimaryAgent"] as ServerInfoConfigElement;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("SecondaryAgent")]
        public ServerInfoConfigElement SecondaryAgent
        {
            get
            {
                return base["SecondaryAgent"] as ServerInfoConfigElement;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("Site")]
        public SiteConfigElement Site
        {
            get
            {
                return base["Site"] as SiteConfigElement;
            }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("Lanes")]
        public LaneConfigCollection Lanes
        {
            get { return base["Lanes"] as LaneConfigCollection; }
        }
    }

Now you can see that we have two properties with name PrimaryAgent and SecondaryAgent both have the same type now you can easily understand why we had only one implementation class against these two element.

Before you can use this newly invented configuration section in your app.config (or web.config) you just need to tell you application that you have invented your own configuration section and give it some respect, to do so you have to add following lines in app.config (may be right after start of root tag).

<configSections>
    <section name="CustomApplicationConfig" type="MyNameSpace.CustomApplicationConfigSection, MyAssemblyName" />
  </configSections>

NOTE: MyAssemblyName should be without .dll e.g. if you assembly file name is myDll.dll then use myDll instead of myDll.dll

to retrieve this configuration use following line of code any where in your application

CustomApplicationConfigSection config = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection(CustomApplicationConfigSection.SECTION_NAME) as CustomApplicationConfigSection;

I hope above post would help you to get started with a bit complicated kind of custom config sections.

Happy Coding :)

****Edit**** To Enable LINQ on LaneConfigCollection you have to implement IEnumerable<LaneConfigElement>

And Add following implementation of GetEnumerator

public new IEnumerator<LaneConfigElement> GetEnumerator()
        {
            int count = base.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                yield return base.BaseGet(i) as LaneConfigElement;
            }
        }

for the people who are still confused about how yield really works read this nice article

Two key points taken from above article are

it doesn’t really end the method’s execution. yield return pauses the method execution and the next time you call it (for the next enumeration value), the method will continue to execute from the last yield return call. It sounds a bit confusing I think… (Shay Friedman)

Yield is not a feature of the .Net runtime. It is just a C# language feature which gets compiled into simple IL code by the C# compiler. (Lars Corneliussen)

Setting the default page for ASP.NET (Visual Studio) server configuration

        }
    }

What's the difference of $host and $http_host in Nginx

$host is a variable of the Core module.

$host

This variable is equal to line Host in the header of request or name of the server processing the request if the Host header is not available.

This variable may have a different value from $http_host in such cases: 1) when the Host input header is absent or has an empty value, $host equals to the value of server_name directive; 2)when the value of Host contains port number, $host doesn't include that port number. $host's value is always lowercase since 0.8.17.

$http_host is also a variable of the same module but you won't find it with that name because it is defined generically as $http_HEADER (ref).

$http_HEADER

The value of the HTTP request header HEADER when converted to lowercase and with 'dashes' converted to 'underscores', e.g. $http_user_agent, $http_referer...;


Summarizing:

  • $http_host equals always the HTTP_HOST request header.
  • $host equals $http_host, lowercase and without the port number (if present), except when HTTP_HOST is absent or is an empty value. In that case, $host equals the value of the server_name directive of the server which processed the request.

Simplest way to have a configuration file in a Windows Forms C# application

Use:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MyKey"];

AppSettings has been deprecated and is now considered obsolete (link).

In addition, the appSettings section of the app.config has been replaced by the applicationSettings section.

As someone else mentioned, you should be using System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager (link) which is new for .NET 2.0.

How do I revert back to an OpenWrt router configuration?

Those who are facing this problem: Don't panic.

Short answer:

Restart your router, and this problem will be fixed. (But if your restart button is not working, you need to do a nine-step process to do the restart. Hitting the restart button is just one of them.)

Long answer: Let's learn how to restart the router.

  1. Set your PC's IP address: 192.168.1.2 and subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1
  2. Power off the router
  3. Disconnect the WAN cable
  4. Only connect your PC Ethernet cable to ETH0
  5. Power on the router
  6. Wait for the router to start the boot sequence (SYS LED starts blinking)
  7. When the SYS LED is blinking, hit the restart button (the SYS LED will be blinking at a faster rate means your router is in failsafe mode). (You have to hit the button before the router boots.)
  8. telnet 192.168.1.1
  9. Run these commands:

    mount_root ## this remounts your partitions from read-only to read/write mode
    
    firstboot  ## This will reset your router after reboot
    
    reboot -f ## And force reboot
    
  10. Log in the web interface using web browser.

Turning off eslint rule for a specific file

You can also disable/enable a rule like this:

/* eslint-disable no-use-before-define */
... code that violates rule ...
/* eslint-enable no-use-before-define */

Similar to eslint-disable-line as mentioned in the question. It might be a better method if you don't want to have to restore a complicated rule configuration when re-enabling it.

Warning about `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA` being deprecated

Unfortunately, this answer here by @EatOng is not correct. After reading his answer I added a dummy variable to every AJAX request I was firing (even if some of them already had some fields) just to be sure the error never appears.

But just now I came across the same damn error from PHP. I double-confirmed that I had sent some POST data (some other fields too along with the dummy variable). PHP version 5.6.25, always_populate_raw_post_data value is set to 0.

Also, as I am sending a application/json request, PHP is not populating it to $_POST, rather I have to json_decode() the raw POST request body, accessible by php://input.

As the answer by @rr- cites,

0/off/whatever: BC behavior (populate if content-type is not registered or request method is other than POST).

Because the request method is for sure POST, I guess PHP didn't recognize/like my Content-Type: application/json request (again, why??).

OPTION 1:

Edit the php.ini file manually and set the culprit variable to -1, as many of the answers here suggest.

OPTION 2:

This is a PHP 5.6 bug. Upgrade PHP.

OPTION 3:

As @user9541305 answered here, changing the Content-Type of AJAX request to application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data will make PHP populate the $_POST from the POSTed body (because PHP likes/recognizes those content-type headers!?).

OPTION 4: LAST RESORT

Well, I did not want to change the Content-Type of AJAX, it would cause a lot of trouble for debugging. (Chrome DevTools nicely views the POSTed variables of JSON requests.)

I am developing this thing for a client and cannot ask them to use latest PHP, nor to edit the php.ini file. As a last resort, I will just check if it is set to 0 and if so, edit the php.ini file in my PHP script itself. Of course I will have to ask the user to restart apache. What a shame!

Here is a sample code:

<?php

if(ini_get('always_populate_raw_post_data') != '-1')
{
    // Get the path to php.ini file
    $iniFilePath = php_ini_loaded_file();

    // Get the php.ini file content
    $iniContent = file_get_contents($iniFilePath);

    // Un-comment (if commented) always_populate_raw_post_data line, and set its value to -1
    $iniContent = preg_replace('~^\s*;?\s*always_populate_raw_post_data\s*=\s*.*$~im', 'always_populate_raw_post_data = -1', $iniContent);

    // Write the content back to the php.ini file
    file_put_contents($iniFilePath, $iniContent);

    // Exit the php script here
    // Also, write some response here to notify the user and ask to restart Apache / WAMP / Whatever.
    exit;
}

Apache won't follow symlinks (403 Forbidden)

I was having a similar problem that I could not resolve for a long time on my new server. In addition to palacsint's answer, a good question to ask is: are you using Apache 2.4? In Apache 2.4 there is a different mechanism for setting the permissions that do not work when done using the above configuration, so I used the solution explained in this blog post.

Basically, what I needed to do was convert my config file from:

Alias /demo /usr/demo/html

<Directory "/usr/demo/html">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all

</Directory>

to:

Alias /demo /usr/demo/html

<Directory "/usr/demo/html">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Note how the Order and allow lines have been replaced by Require all granted

Getting Spring Application Context

Not sure how useful this will be, but you can also get the context when you initialize the app. This is the soonest you can get the context, even before an @Autowire.

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
    private static ApplicationContext context;

    // I believe this only runs during an embedded Tomcat with `mvn spring-boot:run`. 
    // I don't believe it runs when deploying to Tomcat on AWS.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        context = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
        DataSource dataSource = context.getBean(javax.sql.DataSource.class);
        Logger.getLogger("Application").info("DATASOURCE = " + dataSource);

Getting value from appsettings.json in .net core

Just create An AnyName.cs file and paste following code.

using System;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;

namespace Custom
{
    static class ConfigurationManager
    {
        public static IConfiguration AppSetting { get; }
        static ConfigurationManager()
        {
            AppSetting = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                    .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
                    .AddJsonFile("YouAppSettingFile.json")
                    .Build();
        }
    }
}

Must replace YouAppSettingFile.json file name with your file name.
Your .json file should look like below.

{
    "GrandParent_Key" : {
        "Parent_Key" : {
            "Child_Key" : "value1"
        }
    },
    "Parent_Key" : {
        "Child_Key" : "value2"
    },
    "Child_Key" : "value3"
}

Now you can use it.
Don't forget to Add Reference in your class where you want to use.

using Custom;

Code to retrieve value.

string value1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSetting["GrandParent_Key:Parent_Key:Child_Key"];
string value2 = ConfigurationManager.AppSetting["Parent_Key:Child_Key"];
string value3 = ConfigurationManager.AppSetting["Child_Key"];

Can .NET load and parse a properties file equivalent to Java Properties class?

Yeah there's no built in classes to do this that I'm aware of.

But that shouldn't really be an issue should it? It looks easy enough to parse just by storing the result of Stream.ReadToEnd() in a string, splitting based on new lines and then splitting each record on the = character. What you'd be left with is a bunch of key value pairs which you can easily toss into a dictionary.

Here's an example that might work for you:

public static Dictionary<string, string> GetProperties(string path)
{
    string fileData = "";
    using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path))
    {
        fileData = sr.ReadToEnd().Replace("\r", "");
    }
    Dictionary<string, string> Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    string[] kvp;
    string[] records = fileData.Split("\n".ToCharArray());
    foreach (string record in records)
    {
        kvp = record.Split("=".ToCharArray());
        Properties.Add(kvp[0], kvp[1]);
    }
    return Properties;
}

Here's an example of how to use it:

Dictionary<string,string> Properties = GetProperties("data.txt");
Console.WriteLine("Hello: " + Properties["Hello"]);
Console.ReadKey();

PHP Warning: Module already loaded in Unknown on line 0

You should have a /etc/php2/conf.d directory (At least on Ubuntu I do) containing a bunch of .ini files which all get loaded when php runs. These files can contain duplicate settings that conflict with settings in php.ini. In my PHP installation I notice a file conf.d/20-intl.ini with an extension=intl.so setting. I bet that's your conflict.

Encrypt Password in Configuration Files?

A simple way of doing this is to use Password Based Encryption in Java. This allows you to encrypt and decrypt a text by using a password.

This basically means initializing a javax.crypto.Cipher with algorithm "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding" and getting a key from javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory with the "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512" algorithm.

Here is a code example (updated to replace the less secure MD5-based variant):

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.security.AlgorithmParameters;
import java.security.GeneralSecurityException;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException;
import java.util.Base64;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.PBEKeySpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

public class ProtectedConfigFile {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String password = System.getProperty("password");
        if (password == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Run with -Dpassword=<password>");
        }

        // The salt (probably) can be stored along with the encrypted data
        byte[] salt = new String("12345678").getBytes();

        // Decreasing this speeds down startup time and can be useful during testing, but it also makes it easier for brute force attackers
        int iterationCount = 40000;
        // Other values give me java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size or default parameters
        int keyLength = 128;
        SecretKeySpec key = createSecretKey(password.toCharArray(),
                salt, iterationCount, keyLength);

        String originalPassword = "secret";
        System.out.println("Original password: " + originalPassword);
        String encryptedPassword = encrypt(originalPassword, key);
        System.out.println("Encrypted password: " + encryptedPassword);
        String decryptedPassword = decrypt(encryptedPassword, key);
        System.out.println("Decrypted password: " + decryptedPassword);
    }

    private static SecretKeySpec createSecretKey(char[] password, byte[] salt, int iterationCount, int keyLength) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException {
        SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512");
        PBEKeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(password, salt, iterationCount, keyLength);
        SecretKey keyTmp = keyFactory.generateSecret(keySpec);
        return new SecretKeySpec(keyTmp.getEncoded(), "AES");
    }

    private static String encrypt(String property, SecretKeySpec key) throws GeneralSecurityException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
        Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
        pbeCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
        AlgorithmParameters parameters = pbeCipher.getParameters();
        IvParameterSpec ivParameterSpec = parameters.getParameterSpec(IvParameterSpec.class);
        byte[] cryptoText = pbeCipher.doFinal(property.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        byte[] iv = ivParameterSpec.getIV();
        return base64Encode(iv) + ":" + base64Encode(cryptoText);
    }

    private static String base64Encode(byte[] bytes) {
        return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(bytes);
    }

    private static String decrypt(String string, SecretKeySpec key) throws GeneralSecurityException, IOException {
        String iv = string.split(":")[0];
        String property = string.split(":")[1];
        Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
        pbeCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, new IvParameterSpec(base64Decode(iv)));
        return new String(pbeCipher.doFinal(base64Decode(property)), "UTF-8");
    }

    private static byte[] base64Decode(String property) throws IOException {
        return Base64.getDecoder().decode(property);
    }
}

One problem remains: Where should you store the password that you use to encrypt the passwords? You can store it in the source file and obfuscate it, but it's not too hard to find it again. Alternatively, you can give it as a system property when you start the Java process (-DpropertyProtectionPassword=...).

The same issue remains if you use the KeyStore, which also is protected by a password. Basically, you will need to have one master password somewhere, and it's pretty hard to protect.

Reload nginx configuration

Maybe you're not doing it as root?

Try sudo nginx -s reload, if it still doesn't work, you might want to try sudo pkill -HUP nginx.

Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration

  • Go to Facebook for developers dashboard
  • Click My Apps and select your App from the dropdown.
    (If you haven't already created any app select "Add a New App" to create a new app).
  • Go to App Setting > Basic Tab and then click "Add Platform" at bottom section.
  • Select "Website" and the add the website to log in as the Site URL(e.g. mywebsite.com)
  • If you are testing in local, you can even just give the localhost URL of your app.
    eg. http://localhost:8080/myfbsampleapp
  • Save changes and you can now access Facebook information from http://localhost:8080/myfbsampleapp

How to change Vagrant 'default' machine name?

If you want to change anything else instead of 'default', then just add these additional lines to your Vagrantfile:

Change the basebox name, when using "vagrant status"

 config.vm.define "tendo" do |tendo|
  end

Where "tendo" will be the name that will appear instead of default

How do I set up Vim autoindentation properly for editing Python files?

Ensure you are editing the correct configuration file for VIM. Especially if you are using windows, where the file could be named _vimrc instead of .vimrc as on other platforms.

In vim type

:help vimrc

and check your path to the _vimrc/.vimrc file with

:echo $HOME

:echo $VIM

Make sure you are only using one file. If you want to split your configuration into smaller chunks you can source other files from inside your _vimrc file.

:help source

Loading custom configuration files

The config file is just an XML file, you can open it by:

private static XmlDocument loadConfigDocument()
{
    XmlDocument doc = null;
    try
    {
        doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(getConfigFilePath());
        return doc;
    }
    catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        throw new Exception("No configuration file found.", e);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

and later retrieving values by:

    // retrieve appSettings node

    XmlNode node =  doc.SelectSingleNode("//appSettings");

Creating a simple configuration file and parser in C++

SimpleConfigFile is a library that does exactly what you require and it is very simple to use.

# File file.cfg
url = http://example.com
file = main.exe
true = 0 

The following program reads the previous configuration file:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>
#include "config_file.h"

int main(void)
{
    // Variables that we want to read from the config file
    std::string url, file;
    bool true_false;

    // Names for the variables in the config file. They can be different from the actual variable names.
    std::vector<std::string> ln = {"url","file","true"};

    // Open the config file for reading
    std::ifstream f_in("file.cfg");

    CFG::ReadFile(f_in, ln, url, file, true_false);
    f_in.close();

    std::cout << "url: " << url << std::endl;
    std::cout << "file: " << file << std::endl;
    std::cout << "true: " << true_false << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

The function CFG::ReadFile uses variadic templates. This way, you can pass the variables you want to read and the corresponding type is used for reading the data in the appropriate way.

Change connection string & reload app.config at run time

Had to do this exact thing. This is the code that worked for me:

var config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
var connectionStringsSection = (ConnectionStringsSection)config.GetSection("connectionStrings");
connectionStringsSection.ConnectionStrings["Blah"].ConnectionString = "Data Source=blah;Initial Catalog=blah;UID=blah;password=blah";
config.Save();
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("connectionStrings");

How to store Configuration file and read it using React

If you used Create React App, you can set an environment variable using a .env file. The documentation is here:

https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables

Basically do something like this in the .env file at the project root.

REACT_APP_NOT_SECRET_CODE=abcdef

Note that the variable name must start with REACT_APP_

You can access it from your component with

process.env.REACT_APP_NOT_SECRET_CODE

What's the best practice using a settings file in Python?

Yaml and Json are the simplest and most commonly used file formats to store settings/config. PyYaml can be used to parse yaml. Json is already part of python from 2.5. Yaml is a superset of Json. Json will solve most uses cases except multi line strings where escaping is required. Yaml takes care of these cases too.

>>> import json
>>> config = {'handler' : 'adminhandler.py', 'timeoutsec' : 5 }
>>> json.dump(config, open('/tmp/config.json', 'w'))
>>> json.load(open('/tmp/config.json'))   
{u'handler': u'adminhandler.py', u'timeoutsec': 5}

How do I read configuration settings from Symfony2 config.yml?

I have to add to the answer of douglas, you can access the global config, but symfony translates some parameters, for example:

# config.yml
... 
framework:
    session:
        domain: 'localhost'
...

are

$this->container->parameters['session.storage.options']['domain'];

You can use var_dump to search an specified key or value.

Spring Boot JPA - configuring auto reconnect

For those who want to do it from YAML with multiple data sources, there is a great blog post about it: https://springframework.guru/how-to-configure-multiple-data-sources-in-a-spring-boot-application/

It basically says you both need to configure data source properties and datasource like this:

@Bean
@Primary
@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.member")
public DataSourceProperties memberDataSourceProperties() {
    return new DataSourceProperties();
}

@Bean
@Primary
@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.member.hikari")
public DataSource memberDataSource() {
    return memberDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder()
            .type(HikariDataSource.class).build();
}

Do not forget to remove @Primary from other datasources.

Node.js/Express.js App Only Works on Port 3000

I think the best way is to use dotenv package and set the port on the .env config file without to modify the file www inside the folder bin.

Just install the package with the command:

npm install dotenv

require it on your application:

require('dotenv').config()

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project, and add the port in it (for example) to listen on port 5000

PORT=5000

and that's it.

Splitting applicationContext to multiple files

I'm the author of modular-spring-contexts.

This is a small utility library to allow a more modular organization of spring contexts than is achieved by using Composing XML-based configuration metadata. modular-spring-contexts works by defining modules, which are basically stand alone application contexts and allowing modules to import beans from other modules, which are exported ín their originating module.

The key points then are

  • control over dependencies between modules
  • control over which beans are exported and where they are used
  • reduced possibility of naming collisions of beans

A simple example would look like this:

File moduleDefinitions.xml:

how to set start page in webconfig file in asp.net c#

The same problem arrised for me when I installed Kaliko CMS Nuget Package. When I removed it, it started working fine again. So, your problem could be because of a recently installed Nuget Package. Uninstall it and your solution will work just fine.

Basic authentication for REST API using spring restTemplate

How to get the index of a maximum element in a NumPy array along one axis

There is argmin() and argmax() provided by numpy that returns the index of the min and max of a numpy array respectively.

Say e.g for 1-D array you'll do something like this

_x000D_
_x000D_
import numpy as np

a = np.array([50,1,0,2])

print(a.argmax()) # returns 0
print(a.argmin()) # returns 2
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

And similarly for multi-dimensional array

_x000D_
_x000D_
import numpy as np

a = np.array([[0,2,3],[4,30,1]])

print(a.argmax()) # returns 4
print(a.argmin()) # returns 0
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note that these will only return the index of the first occurrence.

INNER JOIN vs LEFT JOIN performance in SQL Server

I found something interesting in SQL server when checking if inner joins are faster than left joins.

If you dont include the items of the left joined table, in the select statement, the left join will be faster than the same query with inner join.

If you do include the left joined table in the select statement, the inner join with the same query was equal or faster than the left join.

"Large data" workflows using pandas

Why Pandas ? Have you tried Standard Python ?

The use of standard library python. Pandas is subject to frequent updates, even with the recent release of the stable version.

Using the standard python library your code will always run.

One way of doing it is to have an idea of the way you want your data to be stored , and which questions you want to solve regarding the data. Then draw a schema of how you can organise your data (think tables) that will help you query the data, not necessarily normalisation.

You can make good use of :

  • list of dictionaries to store the data in memory (Think Amazon EC2) or disk, one dict being one row,
  • generators to process the data row after row to not overflow your RAM,
  • list comprehension to query your data,
  • make use of Counter, DefaultDict, ...
  • store your data on your hard drive using whatever storing solution you have chosen, json could be one of them.

Ram and HDD is becoming cheaper and cheaper with time and standard python 3 is widely available and stable.

The fondamental question you are trying to solve is "how to query large sets of data ?". The hdfs architecture is more or less what I am describing here (data modelling with data being stored on disk).

Let's say you have 1000 petabytes of data, there no way you will be able to store it in Dask or Pandas, your best chances here is to store it on disk and process it with generators.

How to query the permissions on an Oracle directory?

Wasn't sure if you meant which Oracle users can read\write with the directory or the correlation of the permissions between Oracle Directory Object and the underlying Operating System Directory.

As DCookie has covered the Oracle side of the fence, the following is taken from the Oracle documentation found here.

Privileges granted for the directory are created independently of the permissions defined for the operating system directory, and the two may or may not correspond exactly. For example, an error occurs if sample user hr is granted READ privilege on the directory object but the corresponding operating system directory does not have READ permission defined for Oracle Database processes.

Django 1.7 - makemigrations not detecting changes

This is kind of a stupid mistake to make, but having an extra comma at the end of the field declaration line in the model class, makes the line have no effect.

MongoDB: How to find out if an array field contains an element?

I am trying to explain by putting problem statement and solution to it. I hope it will help

Problem Statement:

Find all the published products, whose name like ABC Product or PQR Product, and price should be less than 15/-

Solution:

Below are the conditions that need to be taken care of

  1. Product price should be less than 15
  2. Product name should be either ABC Product or PQR Product
  3. Product should be in published state.

Below is the statement that applies above criterion to create query and fetch data.

$elements = $collection->find(
             Array(
                [price] => Array( [$lt] => 15 ),
                [$or] => Array(
                            [0]=>Array(
                                    [product_name]=>Array(
                                       [$in]=>Array(
                                            [0] => ABC Product,
                                            [1]=> PQR Product
                                            )
                                        )
                                    )
                                ),
                [state]=>Published
                )
            );

jquery change class name

So you want to change it WHEN it's clicked...let me go through the whole process. Let's assume that your "External DOM Object" is an input, like a select:

Let's start with this HTML:

<body>
  <div>
    <select id="test">
      <option>Bob</option>
      <option>Sam</option>
      <option>Sue</option>
      <option>Jen</option>
    </select>
  </div>

  <table id="theTable">
    <tr><td id="cellToChange">Bob</td><td>Sam</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Sue</td><td>Jen</td></tr>
  </table>
</body>

Some very basic CSS:

?#theTable td {
    border:1px solid #555;
}
.activeCell {
    background-color:#F00;
}

And set up a jQuery event:

function highlightCell(useVal){
  $("#theTable td").removeClass("activeCell")
      .filter(":contains('"+useVal+"')").addClass("activeCell");
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#test").change(function(e){highlightCell($(this).val())});
});

Now, whenever you pick something from the select, it will automatically find a cell with the matching text, allowing you to subvert the whole id-based process. Of course, if you wanted to do it that way, you could easily modify the script to use IDs rather than values by saying

.filter("#"+useVal)

and make sure to add the ids appropriately. Hope this helps!

How do you get AngularJS to bind to the title attribute of an A tag?

The issue here is your version of AngularJS; ng-attr is not working due to the fact that it was introduced in version 1.1.4. I am unsure as to why title="{{product.shortDesc}}" isn't working for you, but I imagine it is for similar reasons (old Angular version). I tested this on 1.2.9 and it is working for me.

As for the other answers here, this is NOT among the few use cases for ng-attr! This is a simple double-curly-bracket situation:

<a title="{{product.shortDesc}}" ng-bind="product.shortDesc" />

Setting the default ssh key location

man ssh gives me this options would could be useful.

-i identity_file Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or DSA authentication is read. The default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for pro- tocol version 2. Identity files may also be specified on a per- host basis in the configuration file. It is possible to have multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in config- uration files).

So you could create an alias in your bash config with something like

alias ssh="ssh -i /path/to/private_key"

I haven't looked into a ssh configuration file, but like the -i option this too could be aliased

-F configfile Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file. If a configuration file is given on the command line, the system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) will be ignored. The default for the per-user configuration file is ~/.ssh/config.

Get filename from input [type='file'] using jQuery

This isn't possible due to security reasons. At least not on modern browsers. This is because any code getting access to the path of the file can be considered dangerous and a security risk. Either you'll end up with an undefined value, an empty string or an error will be thrown.

When a file form is submitted, the browser buffers the file temporarily into an upload directory and only the temporary file name of that file and basename of that file is submitted.

Avoid Adding duplicate elements to a List C#

You can use Enumerable.Except to get distinct items from lines3 which is not in lines2:

lines2.AddRange(lines3.Except(lines2));

If lines2 contains all items from lines3 then nothing will be added. BTW internally Except uses Set<string> to get distinct items from second sequence and to verify those items present in first sequence. So, it's pretty fast.

How can we print line numbers to the log in java

I am compelled to answer by not answering your question. I'm assuming that you are looking for the line number solely to support debugging. There are better ways. There are hackish ways to get the current line. All I've seen are slow. You are better off using a logging framework like that in java.util.logging package or log4j. Using these packages you can configure your logging information to include context down to the class name. Then each log message would be unique enough to know where it came from. As a result, your code will have a 'logger' variable that you call via

logger.debug("a really descriptive message")

instead of

System.out.println("a really descriptive message")

Split code over multiple lines in an R script

This will keep the \n character, but you can also just wrap the quote in parentheses. Especially useful in RMarkdown.

t <- ("
this is a long
string
")

Using grep to help subset a data frame in R

You may also use the stringr package

library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
My.Data %>% filter(str_detect(x, '^G45'))

You may not use '^' (starts with) in this case, to obtain the results you need

Warning: X may be used uninitialized in this function

You get the warning because you did not assign a value to one, which is a pointer. This is undefined behavior.

You should declare it like this:

Vector* one = malloc(sizeof(Vector));

or like this:

Vector one;

in which case you need to replace -> operator with . like this:

one.a = 12;
one.b = 13;
one.c = -11;

Finally, in C99 and later you can use designated initializers:

Vector one = {
   .a = 12
,  .b = 13
,  .c = -11
};

Get the contents of a table row with a button click

Try this:

$(".use-address").click(function() {
   $(this).closest('tr').find('td').each(function() {
        var textval = $(this).text(); // this will be the text of each <td>
   });
});

This will find the closest tr (going up through the DOM) of the currently clicked button and then loop each td - you might want to create a string / array with the values.

How do I find which rpm package supplies a file I'm looking for?

Well finding the package when you are connected to internet (repository) is easy however when you only have access to RPM packages inside Redhat or Centos DVD (this happens frequently to me when I have to recover a server and I need an application) I recommend using the commands below which is completely independent of internet and repositories. (supposably you have lots of uninstalled packages in a DVD). Let's say you have mounted Package folder in ~/cent_os_dvd and you are looking for a package that provides "semanage" then you can run:

for file in `find ~/cent_os_dvd/ -iname '*.rpm'`;  do rpm -qlp $file |grep '.*bin/semanage';  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "is in";echo $file  ; fi;  done

Ways to insert javascript into URL?

The key to this is examining any information you recieve and then display and/or use in code on the server. Get/Post form variables if they contain javascript that you store and later redisplay is a security risk. As are any thing that gets concatenated unexamined into a sql statement you run.

One potential gotcha to watch for are attacks that mess with the character encoding. For instance if I submit a form with utf-8 character set but you store and later display in iso-8859-1 latin with no translation then I might be able to sneak something past your validator. The easiest way to handle this is to always display and store in the same character set. utf-8 is usually a good choice. Never depend on the browser to do the right thing for you in this case. Set explicit character sets and examine the character sets you recieve and do a translation to the expected storage set before you validate it.

Git Cherry-Pick and Conflicts

Do, I need to resolve all the conflicts before proceeding to next cherry -pick

Yes, at least with the standard git setup. You cannot cherry-pick while there are conflicts.

Furthermore, in general conflicts get harder to resolve the more you have, so it's generally better to resolve them one by one.

That said, you can cherry-pick multiple commits at once, which would do what you are asking for. See e.g. How to cherry-pick multiple commits . This is useful if for example some commits undo earlier commits. Then you'd want to cherry-pick all in one go, so you don't have to resolve conflicts for changes that are undone by later commits.

Further, is it suggested to do cherry-pick or branch merge in this case?

Generally, if you want to keep a feature branch up to date with main development, you just merge master -> feature branch. The main advantage is that a later merge feature branch -> master will be much less painful.

Cherry-picking is only useful if you must exclude some changes in master from your feature branch. Still, this will be painful so I'd try to avoid it.

How to remove illegal characters from path and filenames?

One liner to cleanup string from any illegal chars for windows file naming:

public static string CleanIllegalName(string p_testName) => new Regex(string.Format("[{0}]", Regex.Escape(new string(Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()) + new string(Path.GetInvalidPathChars())))).Replace(p_testName, "");

Wait until boolean value changes it state

I prefer to use mutex mechanism in such cases, but if you really want to use boolean, then you should declare it as volatile (to provide the change visibility across threads) and just run the body-less cycle with that boolean as a condition :

//.....some class

volatile boolean someBoolean; 

Thread someThread = new Thread() {

    @Override 
    public void run() {
        //some actions
        while (!someBoolean); //wait for condition 
        //some actions 
    }

};

Create SQLite Database and table

The next link will bring you to a great tutorial, that helped me a lot!

How to SQLITE in C#

I nearly used everything in that article to create the SQLite database for my own C# Application.

Don't forget to download the SQLite.dll, and add it as a reference to your project. This can be done using NuGet and by adding the dll manually.

After you added the reference, refer to the dll from your code using the following line on top of your class:

using System.Data.SQLite;

You can find the dll's here:

SQLite DLL's

You can find the NuGet way here:

NuGet

Up next is the create script. Creating a database file:

SQLiteConnection.CreateFile("MyDatabase.sqlite");

SQLiteConnection m_dbConnection = new SQLiteConnection("Data Source=MyDatabase.sqlite;Version=3;");
m_dbConnection.Open();

string sql = "create table highscores (name varchar(20), score int)";

SQLiteCommand command = new SQLiteCommand(sql, m_dbConnection);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();

sql = "insert into highscores (name, score) values ('Me', 9001)";

command = new SQLiteCommand(sql, m_dbConnection);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();

m_dbConnection.Close();

After you created a create script in C#, I think you might want to add rollback transactions, it is safer and it will keep your database from failing, because the data will be committed at the end in one big piece as an atomic operation to the database and not in little pieces, where it could fail at 5th of 10 queries for example.

Example on how to use transactions:

 using (TransactionScope tran = new TransactionScope())
 {
     //Insert create script here.

     //Indicates that creating the SQLiteDatabase went succesfully, so the database can be committed.
     tran.Complete();
 }

A rather nice addition to @MartijnPieters answer is to get back a dictionary sorted by occurrence since Collections.most_common only returns a tuple. I often couple this with a json output for handy log files:

from collections import Counter, OrderedDict

x = Counter({'a':5, 'b':3, 'c':7})
y = OrderedDict(x.most_common())

With the output:

OrderedDict([('c', 7), ('a', 5), ('b', 3)])
{
  "c": 7, 
  "a": 5, 
  "b": 3
}

Regular Expression: Any character that is NOT a letter or number

This regular expression matches anything that isn't a letter, digit, or an underscore (_) character.

\W

For example in JavaScript:

"(,,@,£,() asdf 345345".replace(/\W/g, ' '); // Output: "          asdf 345345"

Eclipse error: R cannot be resolved to a variable

I had a fully working project to which I was doing a minor change when this occured after updateting the SDK. Eclipse updated the SDK and the ADT but I could still not build the project. Exlipse said there were no further updates available.

The problem persisted until I manually uninstalled the ADT from eclipse and re-installed it. Only then would my project build. I had restarted eclipse inbetween each step.

Create a folder inside documents folder in iOS apps

The Swift 2 solution:

let documentDirectoryPath: String = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first!
if !NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(documentDirectoryPath) {
        do {
            try NSFileManager.defaultManager().createDirectoryAtPath(documentDirectoryPath, withIntermediateDirectories: false, attributes: nil)

        } catch let createDirectoryError as NSError {
            print("Error with creating directory at path: \(createDirectoryError.localizedDescription)")
        }

    }

How to scroll to specific item using jQuery?

I managed to do it myself. No need for any plugins. Check out my gist:

// Replace #fromA with your button/control and #toB with the target to which     
// You wanna scroll to. 
//
$("#fromA").click(function() {
    $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: $("#toB").offset().top }, 1500);
});

Disabling Strict Standards in PHP 5.4

.htaccess php_value is working only if you use PHP Server API as module of Web server Apache. Use IfModule syntax:

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    php_value error_reporting 30711
</IfModule>

If you use PHP Server API CGI/FastCGI use

ini_set('error_reporting', 30711);

or

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE);

in your PHP code, or PHP configuration files .user.ini | php.ini modification:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE

on your virtual host, server level.

Email Address Validation in Android on EditText

public static boolean isEmailValid(String email) {
    boolean isValid = false;

    String expression = "^[\\w\\.-]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$";
    CharSequence inputStr = email;

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
    if (matcher.matches()) {
        isValid = true;
    }
    return isValid;
}

Using Helvetica Neue in a Website

They are taking a 'shotgun' approach to referencing the font. The browser will attempt to match each font name with any installed fonts on the user's machine (in the order they have been listed).

In your example "HelveticaNeue-Light" will be tried first, if this font variant is unavailable the browser will try "Helvetica Neue Light" and finally "Helvetica Neue".

As far as I'm aware "Helvetica Neue" isn't considered a 'web safe font', which means you won't be able to rely on it being installed for your entire user base. It is quite common to define "serif" or "sans-serif" as a final default position.

In order to use fonts which aren't 'web safe' you'll need to use a technique known as font embedding. Embedded fonts do not need to be installed on a user's computer, instead they are downloaded as part of the page. Be aware this increases the overall payload (just like an image does) and can have an impact on page load times.

A great resource for free fonts with open-source licenses is Google Fonts. (You should still check individual licenses before using them.) Each font has a download link with instructions on how to embed them in your website.

Async/Await Class Constructor

You may immediately invoke an anonymous async function that returns message and set it to the message variable. You might want to take a look at immediately invoked function expressions (IEFES), in case you are unfamiliar with this pattern. This will work like a charm.

var message = (async function() { return await grabUID(uid) })()

How do I get the total number of unique pairs of a set in the database?

I was solving this algorithm and get stuck with the pairs part.

This explanation help me a lot https://betterexplained.com/articles/techniques-for-adding-the-numbers-1-to-100/

So to calculate the sum of series of numbers:

n(n+1)/2

But you need to calculate this

1 + 2 + ... + (n-1)

So in order to get this you can use

n(n+1)/2 - n

that is equal to

n(n-1)/2

how to do bitwise exclusive or of two strings in python?

If you want to operate on bytes or words then you'll be better to use Python's array type instead of a string. If you are working with fixed length blocks then you may be able to use H or L format to operate on words rather than bytes, but I just used 'B' for this example:

>>> import array
>>> a1 = array.array('B', 'Hello, World!')
>>> a1
array('B', [72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 44, 32, 87, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33])
>>> a2 = array.array('B', ('secret'*3))
>>> for i in range(len(a1)):
    a1[i] ^= a2[i]


>>> a1.tostring()
';\x00\x0f\x1e\nXS2\x0c\x00\t\x10R'

Pass entire form as data in jQuery Ajax function

The other solutions didn't work for me. Maybe the old DOCTYPE in the project I am working on prevents HTML5 options.

My solution:

<form id="form_1" action="result.php" method="post"
 onsubmit="sendForm(this.id);return false">
    <input type="hidden" name="something" value="1">
</form>

js:

function sendForm(form_id){
    var form = $('#'+form_id);
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: $(form).attr('action'),
        data: $(form).serialize(),
        success: function(result) {
            console.log(result)
        }
    });
}

How to Change Margin of TextView

TextView does not support setMargins. Android docs say:

Even though a view can define a padding, it does not provide any support for margins. However, view groups provide such a support. Refer to ViewGroup and ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams for further information.

What is a Memory Heap?

Presumably you mean heap from a memory allocation point of view, not from a data structure point of view (the term has multiple meanings).

A very simple explanation is that the heap is the portion of memory where dynamically allocated memory resides (i.e. memory allocated via malloc). Memory allocated from the heap will remain allocated until one of the following occurs:

  1. The memory is free'd
  2. The program terminates

If all references to allocated memory are lost (e.g. you don't store a pointer to it anymore), you have what is called a memory leak. This is where the memory has still been allocated, but you have no easy way of accessing it anymore. Leaked memory cannot be reclaimed for future memory allocations, but when the program ends the memory will be free'd up by the operating system.

Contrast this with stack memory which is where local variables (those defined within a method) live. Memory allocated on the stack generally only lives until the function returns (there are some exceptions to this, e.g. static local variables).

You can find more information about the heap in this article.

When do Java generics require <? extends T> instead of <T> and is there any downside of switching?

I know this is an old question but I want to share an example that I think explains bounded wildcards pretty well. java.util.Collections offers this method:

public static <T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c) {
    list.sort(c);
}

If we have a List of T, the List can, of course, contain instances of types that extend T. If the List contains Animals, the List can contain both Dogs and Cats (both Animals). Dogs have a property "woofVolume" and Cats have a property "meowVolume." While we might like to sort based upon these properties particular to subclasses of T, how can we expect this method to do that? A limitation of Comparator is that it can compare only two things of only one type (T). So, requiring simply a Comparator<T> would make this method usable. But, the creator of this method recognized that if something is a T, then it is also an instance of the superclasses of T. Therefore, he allows us to use a Comparator of T or any superclass of T, i.e. ? super T.

Entity Framework 6 Code first Default value

The above answers really helped, but only delivered part of the solution. The major issue is that as soon as you remove the Default value attribute, the constraint on the column in database won't be removed. So previous default value will still stay in the database.

Here is a full solution to the problem, including removal of SQL constraints on attribute removal. I am also re-using .NET Framework's native DefaultValue attribute.

Usage

[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Computed)]
[DefaultValue("getutcdate()")]
public DateTime CreatedOn { get; set; }

For this to work you need to update IdentityModels.cs and Configuration.cs files

IdentityModels.cs file

Add/update this method in your ApplicationDbContext class

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
            base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
            var convention = new AttributeToColumnAnnotationConvention<DefaultValueAttribute, string>("SqlDefaultValue", (p, attributes) => attributes.SingleOrDefault().Value.ToString());
            modelBuilder.Conventions.Add(convention);
}

Configuration.cs file

Update your Configuration class constructor by registering custom Sql generator, like this:

internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<ApplicationDbContext>
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        // DefaultValue Sql Generator
        SetSqlGenerator("System.Data.SqlClient", new DefaultValueSqlServerMigrationSqlGenerator());
    }
}

Next, add custom Sql generator class (you can add it to the Configuration.cs file or a separate file)

internal class DefaultValueSqlServerMigrationSqlGenerator : SqlServerMigrationSqlGenerator
{
    private int dropConstraintCount;

    protected override void Generate(AddColumnOperation addColumnOperation)
    {
        SetAnnotatedColumn(addColumnOperation.Column, addColumnOperation.Table);
        base.Generate(addColumnOperation);
    }

    protected override void Generate(AlterColumnOperation alterColumnOperation)
    {
        SetAnnotatedColumn(alterColumnOperation.Column, alterColumnOperation.Table);
        base.Generate(alterColumnOperation);
    }

    protected override void Generate(CreateTableOperation createTableOperation)
    {
        SetAnnotatedColumns(createTableOperation.Columns, createTableOperation.Name);
        base.Generate(createTableOperation);
    }

    protected override void Generate(AlterTableOperation alterTableOperation)
    {
        SetAnnotatedColumns(alterTableOperation.Columns, alterTableOperation.Name);
        base.Generate(alterTableOperation);
    }

    private void SetAnnotatedColumn(ColumnModel column, string tableName)
    {
        if (column.Annotations.TryGetValue("SqlDefaultValue", out var values))
        {
            if (values.NewValue == null)
            {
                column.DefaultValueSql = null;
                using var writer = Writer();

                // Drop Constraint
                writer.WriteLine(GetSqlDropConstraintQuery(tableName, column.Name));
                Statement(writer);
            }
            else
            {
                column.DefaultValueSql = (string)values.NewValue;
            }
        }
    }

    private void SetAnnotatedColumns(IEnumerable<ColumnModel> columns, string tableName)
    {
        foreach (var column in columns)
        {
            SetAnnotatedColumn(column, tableName);
        }
    }

    private string GetSqlDropConstraintQuery(string tableName, string columnName)
    {
        var tableNameSplitByDot = tableName.Split('.');
        var tableSchema = tableNameSplitByDot[0];
        var tablePureName = tableNameSplitByDot[1];

        var str = $@"DECLARE @var{dropConstraintCount} nvarchar(128)
SELECT @var{dropConstraintCount} = name
FROM sys.default_constraints
WHERE parent_object_id = object_id(N'{tableSchema}.[{tablePureName}]')
AND col_name(parent_object_id, parent_column_id) = '{columnName}';
IF @var{dropConstraintCount} IS NOT NULL
EXECUTE('ALTER TABLE {tableSchema}.[{tablePureName}] DROP CONSTRAINT [' + @var{dropConstraintCount} + ']')";

        dropConstraintCount++;
        return str;
    }
}

Best way to write to the console in PowerShell

Default behaviour of PowerShell is just to dump everything that falls out of a pipeline without being picked up by another pipeline element or being assigned to a variable (or redirected) into Out-Host. What Out-Host does is obviously host-dependent.

Just letting things fall out of the pipeline is not a substitute for Write-Host which exists for the sole reason of outputting text in the host application.

If you want output, then use the Write-* cmdlets. If you want return values from a function, then just dump the objects there without any cmdlet.

How do AX, AH, AL map onto EAX?

AX is the 16 lower bits of EAX. AH is the 8 high bits of AX (i.e. the bits 8-15 of EAX) and AL is the least significant byte (bits 0-7) of EAX as well as AX.

Example (Hexadecimal digits):

EAX: 12 34 56 78
AX: 56 78
AH: 56
AL: 78

Using Excel OleDb to get sheet names IN SHEET ORDER

I don't see any documentation that says the order in app.xml is guaranteed to be the order of the sheets. It PROBABLY is, but not according to the OOXML specification.

The workbook.xml file, on the other hand, includes the sheetId attribute, which does determine the sequence - from 1 to the number of sheets. This is according to the OOXML specification. workbook.xml is described as the place where the sequence of the sheets is kept.

So reading workbook.xml after it is extracted form the XLSX would be my recommendation. NOT app.xml. Instead of docProps/app.xml, use xl/workbook.xml and look at the element, as shown here -

`

<workbook xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships">
  <fileVersion appName="xl" lastEdited="5" lowestEdited="5" rupBuild="9303" /> 
  <workbookPr defaultThemeVersion="124226" /> 
- <bookViews>
  <workbookView xWindow="120" yWindow="135" windowWidth="19035" windowHeight="8445" /> 
  </bookViews>
- <sheets>
  <sheet name="By song" sheetId="1" r:id="rId1" /> 
  <sheet name="By actors" sheetId="2" r:id="rId2" /> 
  <sheet name="By pit" sheetId="3" r:id="rId3" /> 
  </sheets>
- <definedNames>
  <definedName name="_xlnm._FilterDatabase" localSheetId="0" hidden="1">'By song'!$A$1:$O$59</definedName> 
  </definedNames>
  <calcPr calcId="145621" /> 
  </workbook>

Redirect to a page/URL after alert button is pressed

window.location = mypage.href is a direct command for the browser to dump it's contents and start loading up some more. So for better clarification, here's what's happening in your PHP script:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">'; 
echo 'alert("review your answer");'; 
echo 'window.location = "index.php";';
echo '</script>';

1) prepare to accept a modification or addition to the current Javascript cache. 2) show the alert 3) dump everything in browser memory and get ready for some more (albeit an older method of loading a new URL (AND NOTICE that there are no "\n" (new line) indicators between the lines and is therefore causing some havoc in the JS decoder.

Let me suggest that you do this another way..

echo '<script type="text/javascript">\n'; 
echo 'alert("review your answer");\n'; 
echo 'document.location.href = "index.php";\n';
echo '</script>\n';

1) prepare to accept a modification or addition to the current Javascript cache. 2) show the alert 3) dump everything in browser memory and get ready for some more (in a better fashion than before) And WOW - it all works because the JS decoder can see that each command is anow a new line.

Best of luck!

Why use Optional.of over Optional.ofNullable?

Your question is based on assumption that the code which may throw NullPointerException is worse than the code which may not. This assumption is wrong. If you expect that your foobar is never null due to the program logic, it's much better to use Optional.of(foobar) as you will see a NullPointerException which will indicate that your program has a bug. If you use Optional.ofNullable(foobar) and the foobar happens to be null due to the bug, then your program will silently continue working incorrectly, which may be a bigger disaster. This way an error may occur much later and it would be much harder to understand at which point it went wrong.

How to put sshpass command inside a bash script?

This worked for me:

#!/bin/bash

#Variables
FILELOCAL=/var/www/folder/$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H-%M-%S').csv    
SFTPHOSTNAME="myHost.com"
SFTPUSERNAME="myUser"
SFTPPASSWORD="myPass"

sshpass -p $SFTPPASSWORD sftp $SFTPUSERNAME@$SFTPHOSTNAME << !
    cd $FOLDER
    get $FILEREMOTE $FILELOCAL
    ls
   bye
!

Probably you have to install sshpass:

sudo apt-get install sshpass

ALTER TABLE to add a composite primary key

How do you stretch an image to fill a <div> while keeping the image's aspect-ratio?

Using this method you can fill in your div with the image varying ratio of divs and images.

jQuery:

$(window).load(function(){
   $('body').find(.fillme).each(function(){
      var fillmeval = $(this).width()/$(this).height();
      var imgval = $this.children('img').width()/$this.children('img').height();
      var imgClass;
      if(imgval > fillmeval){
          imgClass = "stretchy";
      }else{
          imgClass = "stretchx";
      }
      $(this).children('img').addClass(imgClass);
   });
});

HTML:

<div class="fillme">
   <img src="../images/myimg.jpg" />
</div>

CSS:

.fillme{
  overflow:hidden;
}
.fillme img.stretchx{
  height:auto;
  width:100%;
}
.fillme img.stretchy{
  height:100%;
  width:auto;
}

How to initialize log4j properly?

While setting up log4j properly is great for "real" projects you might want a quick-and-dirty solution, e.g. if you're just testing a new library.

If so a call to the static method

org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure();

will setup basic logging to the console, and the error messages will be gone.

How can I check if some text exist or not in the page using Selenium?

With XPath, it's not that hard. Simply search for all elements containing the given text:

List<WebElement> list = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'" + text + "')]"));
Assert.assertTrue("Text not found!", list.size() > 0);

The official documentation is not very supportive with tasks like this, but it is the basic tool nonetheless.

The JavaDocs are greater, but it takes some time to get through everything useful and unuseful.

To learn XPath, just follow the internet. The spec is also a surprisingly good read.


EDIT:

Or, if you don't want your Implicit Wait to make the above code wait for the text to appear, you can do something in the way of this:

String bodyText = driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).getText();
Assert.assertTrue("Text not found!", bodyText.contains(text));

Override intranet compatibility mode IE8

Stefan S' comment about the document mode versus browser mode were very pertinent for my problem.

I have the X-UA-Content meta data in the page, but I was client-side testing the browser version via navigator.appVersion. This test does not reflect the meta data because it is giving the browser mode not the document mode.

The answer for me was to test the document.documentMode something like:

function IsIE(n)
{
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE ") == -1) return false;
    var sDocMode = document.documentMode;
    return (isFinite(sDocMode) && sDocMode==n);
}

Now, my meta X-UA-Content tag reflects in my browser test.

Why do I do such a frowned-on thing as test the browser? Speed. Various of my jQuery add-ins, like tablesorter are just too slow on IE6/7, and I want to turn them off. I am not sure that testing for browser features can help me solve this otherwise.

AngularJS $http, CORS and http authentication

No you don't have to put credentials, You have to put headers on client side eg:

 $http({
        url: 'url of service',
        method: "POST",
        data: {test :  name },
        withCredentials: true,
        headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
        }
    });

And and on server side you have to put headers to this is example for nodejs:

/**
 * On all requests add headers
 */
app.all('*', function(req, res,next) {


    /**
     * Response settings
     * @type {Object}
     */
    var responseSettings = {
        "AccessControlAllowOrigin": req.headers.origin,
        "AccessControlAllowHeaders": "Content-Type,X-CSRF-Token, X-Requested-With, Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5,  Date, X-Api-Version, X-File-Name",
        "AccessControlAllowMethods": "POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS",
        "AccessControlAllowCredentials": true
    };

    /**
     * Headers
     */
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", responseSettings.AccessControlAllowCredentials);
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin",  responseSettings.AccessControlAllowOrigin);
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", (req.headers['access-control-request-headers']) ? req.headers['access-control-request-headers'] : "x-requested-with");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", (req.headers['access-control-request-method']) ? req.headers['access-control-request-method'] : responseSettings.AccessControlAllowMethods);

    if ('OPTIONS' == req.method) {
        res.send(200);
    }
    else {
        next();
    }


});

How to break out of jQuery each Loop

According to the documentation return false; should do the job.

We can break the $.each() loop [..] by making the callback function return false.

Return false in the callback:

function callback(indexInArray, valueOfElement) {
  var booleanKeepGoing;

  this; // == valueOfElement (casted to Object)

  return booleanKeepGoing; // optional, unless false 
                           // and want to stop looping
}

BTW, continue works like this:

Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.

Upgrading PHP in XAMPP for Windows?

1) Backup your htdocs folder
2) export your databases (follow this tutorial)
3) uninstall xampp
4) install the new version of xampp
5) replace the htdocs folder that you have backed up
6) Import your databases you had exported before

Note: In case you have changed config files like PHP (php.ini), Apache (httpd.conf) or any other, please take back up of those files as well and replace them with newly installed version.

Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component

Based on @ford04 answer, here is the same encapsulated in a method :

export function useEffectAsync( effectAsyncFun : ( isMounted: () => boolean ) => unknown, deps?: DependencyList ) {
    useEffect( () => {
        let isMounted = true;
        const _unused = effectAsyncFun( () => isMounted );
        return () => { isMounted = false; };
    }, deps );
} 

Usage:

const MyComponent : FC<{}> = (props) => {
    const [ asyncProp , setAsyncProp ] = useState( '' ) ;
    useEffectAsync( async ( isMounted ) =>
    {
        const someAsyncProp = await ... ;
        if ( isMounted() )
             setAsyncProp( someAsyncProp ) ;
    });
    return <div> ... ;
} ;

Make a number a percentage

The best solution, where en is the English locale:

fraction.toLocaleString("en", {style: "percent"})

ObservableCollection not noticing when Item in it changes (even with INotifyPropertyChanged)

You can also use this extension method to easily register a handler for item property change in relevant collections. This method is automatically added to all the collections implementing INotifyCollectionChanged that hold items that implement INotifyPropertyChanged:

public static class ObservableCollectionEx
{
    public static void SetOnCollectionItemPropertyChanged<T>(this T _this, PropertyChangedEventHandler handler)
        where T : INotifyCollectionChanged, ICollection<INotifyPropertyChanged> 
    {
        _this.CollectionChanged += (sender,e)=> {
            if (e.NewItems != null)
            {
                foreach (Object item in e.NewItems)
                {
                    ((INotifyPropertyChanged)item).PropertyChanged += handler;
                }
            }
            if (e.OldItems != null)
            {
                foreach (Object item in e.OldItems)
                {
                    ((INotifyPropertyChanged)item).PropertyChanged -= handler;
                }
            }
        };
    }
}

How to use:

public class Test
{
    public static void MyExtensionTest()
    {
        ObservableCollection<INotifyPropertyChanged> c = new ObservableCollection<INotifyPropertyChanged>();
        c.SetOnCollectionItemPropertyChanged((item, e) =>
        {
             //whatever you want to do on item change
        });
    }
}

how to automatically scroll down a html page?

You can use two different techniques to achieve this.

The first one is with javascript: set the scrollTop property of the scrollable element (e.g. document.body.scrollTop = 1000;).

The second is setting the link to point to a specific id in the page e.g.

<a href="mypage.html#sectionOne">section one</a>

Then if in your target page you'll have that ID the page will be scrolled automatically.

How to install a certificate in Xcode (preparing for app store submission)

In Xcode 5 this has been moved to:

Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of START_OBJECT token

Related to Eugen's answer, you can solve this particular case by creating a wrapper POJO object that contains a Collection<COrder> as its member variable. This will properly guide Jackson to place the actual Collection data inside the POJO's member variable and produce the JSON you are looking for in the API request.

Example:

public class ApiRequest {

   @JsonProperty("collection")
   private Collection<COrder> collection;

   // getters
}

Then set the parameter type of COrderRestService.postOrder() to be your new ApiRequest wrapper POJO instead of Collection<COrder>.

IntelliJ does not show project folders

Modifying local variable from inside lambda

Yes, you can modify local variables from inside lambdas (in the way shown by the other answers), but you should not do it. Lambdas have been made for functional style of programming and this means: No side effects. What you want to do is considered bad style. It is also dangerous in case of parallel streams.

You should either find a solution without side effects or use a traditional for loop.

Build Maven Project Without Running Unit Tests

If you want to skip running and compiling tests:

If you want to compile but not run tests:

mvn install -DskipTests

How to disable all div content

Another way, in jQuery, would be to get the inner height, inner width and positioning of the containing DIV, and simply overlay another DIV, transparent, over the top the same size. This will work on all elements inside that container, instead of only the inputs.

Remember though, with JS disabled, you'll still be able to use the DIVs inputs/content. The same goes with the above answers too.

How can we dynamically allocate and grow an array

public class Arr {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        int a[] = {1,2,3};
        //let a[] is your original array
        System.out.println(a[0] + " " + a[1] + " " + a[2]);
        int b[];
        //let b[] is your temporary array with size greater than a[]
        //I have took 5
        b = new int[5];
        //now assign all a[] values to b[]
        for(int i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i ++)
            b[i] = a[i];
        //add next index values to b
        b[3] = 4;
        b[4] = 5;
        //now assign b[] to a[]
        a = b;
        //now you can heck that size of an original array increased
        System.out.println(a[0] + " " + a[1] + " " + a[2] + " " + a[3] + " " 
    + a[4]);
    }

}

Output for the above code is:

1 2 3

1 2 3 4 5

Filtering a spark dataframe based on date

The following solutions are applicable since spark 1.5 :

For lower than :

// filter data where the date is lesser than 2015-03-14
data.filter(data("date").lt(lit("2015-03-14")))      

For greater than :

// filter data where the date is greater than 2015-03-14
data.filter(data("date").gt(lit("2015-03-14"))) 

For equality, you can use either equalTo or === :

data.filter(data("date") === lit("2015-03-14"))

If your DataFrame date column is of type StringType, you can convert it using the to_date function :

// filter data where the date is greater than 2015-03-14
data.filter(to_date(data("date")).gt(lit("2015-03-14"))) 

You can also filter according to a year using the year function :

// filter data where year is greater or equal to 2016
data.filter(year($"date").geq(lit(2016)))

How to multiply individual elements of a list with a number?

In NumPy it is quite simple

import numpy as np
P=2.45
S=[22, 33, 45.6, 21.6, 51.8]
SP = P*np.array(S)

I recommend taking a look at the NumPy tutorial for an explanation of the full capabilities of NumPy's arrays:

What is the meaning of the word logits in TensorFlow?

Logit is a function that maps probabilities [0, 1] to [-inf, +inf].

Softmax is a function that maps [-inf, +inf] to [0, 1] similar as Sigmoid. But Softmax also normalizes the sum of the values(output vector) to be 1.

Tensorflow "with logit": It means that you are applying a softmax function to logit numbers to normalize it. The input_vector/logit is not normalized and can scale from [-inf, inf].

This normalization is used for multiclass classification problems. And for multilabel classification problems sigmoid normalization is used i.e. tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits

Load local JSON file into variable

There are two possible problems:

  1. AJAX is asynchronous, so json will be undefined when you return from the outer function. When the file has been loaded, the callback function will set json to some value but at that time, nobody cares anymore.

    I see that you tried to fix this with 'async': false. To check whether this works, add this line to the code and check your browser's console:

    console.log(['json', json]);
    
  2. The path might be wrong. Use the same path that you used to load your script in the HTML document. So if your script is js/script.js, use js/content.json

    Some browsers can show you which URLs they tried to access and how that went (success/error codes, HTML headers, etc). Check your browser's development tools to see what happens.

Unity 2d jumping script

The answer above is now obsolete with Unity 5 or newer. Use this instead!

GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(new Vector2(0,10), ForceMode2D.Impulse);

I also want to add that this leaves the jump height super private and only editable in the script, so this is what I did...

    public float playerSpeed;  //allows us to be able to change speed in Unity
public Vector2 jumpHeight;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
    transform.Translate(playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f);  //makes player run

    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))  //makes player jump
    {
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(jumpHeight, ForceMode2D.Impulse);

This makes it to where you can edit the jump height in Unity itself without having to go back to the script.

Side note - I wanted to comment on the answer above, but I can't because I'm new here. :)

Google Maps JS API v3 - Simple Multiple Marker Example

Here is a nearly complete example javascript function that will allow multiple markers defined in a JSONObject.

It will only display the markers that are with in the bounds of the map.

This is important so you are not doing extra work.

You can also set a limit to the markers so you are not showing an extreme amount of markers (if there is a possibility of a thing in your usage);

it will also not display markers if the center of the map has not changed more than 500 meters.
This is important because if a user clicks on the marker and accidentally drags the map while doing so you don't want the map to reload the markers.

I attached this function to the idle event listener for the map so markers will show only when the map is idle and will redisplay the markers after a different event.

In action screen shot there is a little change in the screen shot showing more content in the infowindow. enter image description here pasted from pastbin.com

pretty-print JSON using JavaScript

User Pumbaa80's answer is great if you have an object you want pretty printed. If you're starting from a valid JSON string that you want to pretty printed, you need to convert it to an object first:

var jsonString = '{"some":"json"}';
var jsonPretty = JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(jsonString),null,2);  

This builds a JSON object from the string, and then converts it back to a string using JSON stringify's pretty print.

Replace multiple whitespaces with single whitespace in JavaScript string

Try this.

var string = "         string             1";
string = string.trim().replace(/\s+/g, ' ');

the result will be

string 1

What happened here is that it will trim the outside spaces first using trim() then trim the inside spaces using .replace(/\s+/g, ' ').

Hide vertical scrollbar in <select> element

Like Guffa said, you cannot reliably get that much control over native controls. The best way is probably to make a box of elements with radio buttons beside each item, then use labels and JavaScript to make the 'rows' interactive, so clicking on a radio button or label will color the selected row.

SQL Server FOR EACH Loop

You could use a variable table, like this:

declare @num int

set @num = 1

declare @results table ( val int )

while (@num < 6)
begin
  insert into @results ( val ) values ( @num )
  set @num = @num + 1
end

select val from @results

Get ConnectionString from appsettings.json instead of being hardcoded in .NET Core 2.0 App

In ASPNET Core you do it in Startup.cs

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddDbContext<BloggingContext>(options =>
        options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("BloggingDatabase")));
}

where your connection is defined in appsettings.json

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "BloggingDatabase": "..."
  },
}

Spring Boot: Unable to start EmbeddedWebApplicationContext due to missing EmbeddedServletContainerFactory bean

I had multiple application classes in one Spring Boot project which had the web started included and wanted to avoid it configuring a web environment for one of them so I manually configured it as below:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class)
            .web(false)
            .run(args);
    }
}

UPDATE for Spring Boot 2 and above:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class)
            .web(WebApplicationType.NONE)
            .run(args);
    }
}

Is there a way to specify a default property value in Spring XML?

The default value can be followed with a : after the property key, e.g.

<property name="port" value="${my.server.port:8080}" />

Or in java code:

@Value("${my.server.port:8080}")
private String myServerPort;

See:

BTW, the Elvis Operator is only available within Spring Expression Language (SpEL),
e.g.: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37706167/537554

background-image: url("images/plaid.jpg") no-repeat; wont show up

If that really is all that's in your CSS file, then yes, nothing will happen. You need a selector, even if it's as simple as body:

body {
    background-image: url(...);
}

How can I perform a short delay in C# without using sleep?

Sorry for awakening an old question like this. But I think what the original author wanted as an answer was:

You need to force your program to make the graphic update after you make the change to the textbox1. You can do that by invoking Update();

textBox1.Text += "\r\nThread Sleeps!";
textBox1.Update();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
textBox1.Text += "\r\nThread awakens!";
textBox1.Update();

Normally this will be done automatically when the thread is done. Ex, you press a button, changes are made to the text, thread dies, and then .Update() is fired and you see the changes. (I'm not an expert so I cant really tell you when its fired, but its something similar to this any way.)

In this case, you make a change, pause the thread, and then change the text again, and when the thread finally dies the .Update() is fired. This resulting in you only seeing the last change made to the text.

You would experience the same issue if you had a long execution between the text changes.

Could not autowire field:RestTemplate in Spring boot application

If a TestRestTemplate is a valid option in your unit test, this documentation might be relevant

http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.4.1.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-rest-templates-test-utility

Short answer: if using

@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)

then @Autowired will work. If using

@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.MOCK)

then create a TestRestTemplate like this

private TestRestTemplate template = new TestRestTemplate();

Message Queue vs. Web Services?

There's been a fair amount of recent research in considering how REST HTTP calls could replace the message queue concept.

If you introduce the concept of a process and a task as a resource, the need for middle messaging layer starts to evaporate.

Ex:

POST /task/name
    - Returns a 202 accepted status immediately
    - Returns a resource url for the created task: /task/name/X
    - Returns a resource url for the started process: /process/Y

GET /process/Y
    - Returns status of ongoing process

A task can have multiple steps for initialization, and a process can return status when polled or POST to a callback URL when complete.

This is dead simple, and becomes quite powerful when you realize that you can now subscribe to an rss/atom feed of all running processes and tasks without any middle layer. Any queuing system is going to require some sort of web front end anyway, and this concept has it built in without another layer of custom code.

Your resources exist until you delete them, which means you can view historical information long after the process and task complete.

You have built in service discovery, even for a task that has multiple steps, without any extra complicated protocols.

GET /task/name
    - returns form with required fields

POST (URL provided form's "action" attribute)

Your service discovery is an HTML form - a universal and human readable format.

The entire flow can be used programmatically or by a human, using universally accepted tools. It's a client driven, and therefore RESTful. Every tool created for the web can drive your business processes. You still have alternate message channels by POSTing asynchronously to a separate array of log servers.

After you consider it for a while, you sit back and start to realize that REST may just eliminate the need for a messaging queue and an ESB altogether.

Prefer composition over inheritance?

Personally I learned to always prefer composition over inheritance. There is no programmatic problem you can solve with inheritance which you cannot solve with composition; though you may have to use Interfaces(Java) or Protocols(Obj-C) in some cases. Since C++ doesn't know any such thing, you'll have to use abstract base classes, which means you cannot get entirely rid of inheritance in C++.

Composition is often more logical, it provides better abstraction, better encapsulation, better code reuse (especially in very large projects) and is less likely to break anything at a distance just because you made an isolated change anywhere in your code. It also makes it easier to uphold the "Single Responsibility Principle", which is often summarized as "There should never be more than one reason for a class to change.", and it means that every class exists for a specific purpose and it should only have methods that are directly related to its purpose. Also having a very shallow inheritance tree makes it much easier to keep the overview even when your project starts to get really large. Many people think that inheritance represents our real world pretty well, but that isn't the truth. The real world uses much more composition than inheritance. Pretty much every real world object you can hold in your hand has been composed out of other, smaller real world objects.

There are downsides of composition, though. If you skip inheritance altogether and only focus on composition, you will notice that you often have to write a couple of extra code lines that weren't necessary if you had used inheritance. You are also sometimes forced to repeat yourself and this violates the DRY Principle (DRY = Don't Repeat Yourself). Also composition often requires delegation, and a method is just calling another method of another object with no other code surrounding this call. Such "double method calls" (which may easily extend to triple or quadruple method calls and even farther than that) have much worse performance than inheritance, where you simply inherit a method of your parent. Calling an inherited method may be equally fast as calling a non-inherited one, or it may be slightly slower, but is usually still faster than two consecutive method calls.

You may have noticed that most OO languages don't allow multiple inheritance. While there are a couple of cases where multiple inheritance can really buy you something, but those are rather exceptions than the rule. Whenever you run into a situation where you think "multiple inheritance would be a really cool feature to solve this problem", you are usually at a point where you should re-think inheritance altogether, since even it may require a couple of extra code lines, a solution based on composition will usually turn out to be much more elegant, flexible and future proof.

Inheritance is really a cool feature, but I'm afraid it has been overused the last couple of years. People treated inheritance as the one hammer that can nail it all, regardless if it was actually a nail, a screw, or maybe a something completely different.

raw vs. html_safe vs. h to unescape html

The difference is between Rails’ html_safe() and raw(). There is an excellent post by Yehuda Katz on this, and it really boils down to this:

def raw(stringish)

  stringish.to_s.html_safe

end

Yes, raw() is a wrapper around html_safe() that forces the input to String and then calls html_safe() on it. It’s also the case that raw() is a helper in a module whereas html_safe() is a method on the String class which makes a new ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer instance — that has a @dirty flag in it.

Refer to "Rails’ html_safe vs. raw".

PHP display current server path

If you call getcwd it should give you the path:

<?php
  echo getcwd();

Force table column widths to always be fixed regardless of contents

Make the table rock solid BEFORE the css. Figure your width of the table, then use a 'controlling' row whereby each td has an explicit width, all of which add up to the width in the table tag.

Having to do hundreds html emails to work everywhere, using the correct HTML first, then styling w/css will work around many issues in all IE's, webkit's and mozillas.

so:

<table width="300" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="50"></td>
    <td width="100"></td>
    <td width="150"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>your stuff</td>
    <td>your stuff</td>
    <td>your stuff</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Will keep a table at 300px wide. Watch images that are larger than the width by extremes

jQuery Find and List all LI elements within a UL within a specific DIV

$('li[rel=7]').siblings().andSelf();

// or:

$('li[rel=7]').parent().children();

Now that you added that comment explaining that you want to "form an array of rels per column", you should do this:

var rels = [];

$('ul').each(function() {
    var localRels = [];

    $(this).find('li').each(function(){
        localRels.push( $(this).attr('rel') );
    });

    rels.push(localRels);
});

How to set up file permissions for Laravel?

We've run into many edge cases when setting up permissions for Laravel applications. We create a separate user account (deploy) for owning the Laravel application folder and executing Laravel commands from the CLI, and run the web server under www-data. One issue this causes is that the log file(s) may be owned by www-data or deploy, depending on who wrote to the log file first, obviously preventing the other user from writing to it in the future.

I've found that the only sane and secure solution is to use Linux ACLs. The goal of this solution is:

  1. To allow the user who owns/deploys the application read and write access to the Laravel application code (we use a user named deploy).
  2. To allow the www-data user read access to Laravel application code, but not write access.
  3. To prevent any other users from accessing the Laravel application code/data at all.
  4. To allow both the www-data user and the application user (deploy) write access to the storage folder, regardless of which user owns the file (so both deploy and www-data can write to the same log file for example).

We accomplish this as follows:

  1. All files within the application/ folder are created with the default umask of 0022, which results in folders having drwxr-xr-x permissions and files having -rw-r--r--.
  2. sudo chown -R deploy:deploy application/ (or simply deploy your application as the deploy user, which is what we do).
  3. chgrp www-data application/ to give the www-data group access to the application.
  4. chmod 750 application/ to allow the deploy user read/write, the www-data user read-only, and to remove all permissions to any other users.
  5. setfacl -Rdm u:www-data:rwx,u:deploy:rwx application/storage/ to set the default permissions on the storage/ folder and all subfolders. Any new folders/files created in the storage folder will inherit these permissions (rwx for both www-data and deploy).
  6. setfacl -Rm u:www-data:rwX,u:deploy:rwX application/storage/ to set the above permissions on any existing files/folders.

Install NuGet via PowerShell script

This also seems to do it. PS Example:

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

Can (a== 1 && a ==2 && a==3) ever evaluate to true?

By overriding valueOf in a class declaration, it can be done:

class Thing {
    constructor() {
        this.value = 1;
    }

    valueOf() {
        return this.value++;
    }
}

const a = new Thing();

if(a == 1 && a == 2 && a == 3) {
    console.log(a);
}

What happens is that valueOf is called in each comparison operator. On the first one, a will equal 1, on the second, a will equal 2, and so on and so forth, because each time valueOf is called, the value of a is incremented.

Therefore the console.log will fire and output (in my terminal anyways) Thing: { value: 4}, indicating the conditional was true.

How do servlets work? Instantiation, sessions, shared variables and multithreading

When the servlet container (like Apache Tomcat) starts up, it will read from the web.xml file (only one per application) if anything goes wrong or shows up an error at container side console, otherwise, it will deploy and load all web applications by using web.xml (so named it as deployment descriptor).

During instantiation phase of the servlet, servlet instance is ready but it cannot serve the client request because it is missing with two pieces of information:
1: context information
2: initial configuration information

Servlet engine creates servletConfig interface object encapsulating the above missing information into it servlet engine calls init() of the servlet by supplying servletConfig object references as an argument. Once init() is completely executed servlet is ready to serve the client request.

Q) In the lifetime of servlet how many times instantiation and initialization happens ??

A)only once (for every client request a new thread is created) only one instance of the servlet serves any number of the client request ie, after serving one client request server does not die. It waits for other client requests ie what CGI (for every client request a new process is created) limitation is overcome with the servlet (internally servlet engine creates the thread).

Q)How session concept works?

A)whenever getSession() is called on HttpServletRequest object

Step 1: request object is evaluated for incoming session ID.

Step 2: if ID not available a brand new HttpSession object is created and its corresponding session ID is generated (ie of HashTable) session ID is stored into httpservlet response object and the reference of HttpSession object is returned to the servlet (doGet/doPost).

Step 3: if ID available brand new session object is not created session ID is picked up from the request object search is made in the collection of sessions by using session ID as the key.

Once the search is successful session ID is stored into HttpServletResponse and the existing session object references are returned to the doGet() or doPost() of UserDefineservlet.

Note:

1)when control leaves from servlet code to client don't forget that session object is being held by servlet container ie, the servlet engine

2)multithreading is left to servlet developers people for implementing ie., handle the multiple requests of client nothing to bother about multithread code

Inshort form:

A servlet is created when the application starts (it is deployed on the servlet container) or when it is first accessed (depending on the load-on-startup setting) when the servlet is instantiated, the init() method of the servlet is called then the servlet (its one and only instance) handles all requests (its service() method being called by multiple threads). That's why it is not advisable to have any synchronization in it, and you should avoid instance variables of the servlet when the application is undeployed (the servlet container stops), the destroy() method is called.

How to select current date in Hive SQL

To fetch only current date excluding time stamp:

in lower versions, looks like hive CURRENT_DATE is not available, hence you can use (it worked for me on Hive 0.14)

select TO_DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP()));

In higher versions say hive 2.0, you can use :

select CURRENT_DATE;

JQuery - Call the jquery button click event based on name property

You can use normal CSS selectors to select an element by name using jquery. Like this:

Button Code
<button type="button" name="mybutton">Click Me!</button>

Selector & Event Bind Code
$("button[name='mybutton']").click(function() {});

Array of PHP Objects

Although all the answers given are correct, in fact they do not completely answer the question which was about using the [] construct and more generally filling the array with objects.

A more relevant answer can be found in how to build arrays of objects in PHP without specifying an index number? which clearly shows how to solve the problem.

How to add an object to an array

Using ES6 notation, you can do something like this:

For appending you can use the spread operator like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var arr1 = [1,2,3]_x000D_
var obj = 4_x000D_
var newData = [...arr1, obj] // [1,2,3,4]_x000D_
console.log(newData);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Docker command can't connect to Docker daemon

This question is currently number 3 on a Google search. After doing some research into solving this problem on my Linux system I thought I would write this answer. The original post states the problem is on Ubuntu but I also experienced the issue using Fedora. With that in mind, here is what I did to fix the problem.

On Fedora 22

Installing Docker:

$> curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

After installing Docker:

A user needs to be added to the docker group.

$> sudo usermod -aG docker

The docker daemon needs to be started

$> sudo service docker start

You can set the daemon to start at boot

$> sudo chkconfig docker on

You can verify the docker service is running

$> service docker status

And one last final check

$> docker run hello-world

How do you make div elements display inline?

That's something else then:

_x000D_
<div class="inline">1<br />2<br />3</div>_x000D_
<div class="inline">1<br />2<br />3</div>_x000D_
<div class="inline">1<br />2<br />3</div>_x000D_
<br class="clearBoth" /><!-- you may or may not need this -->
_x000D_

Python Pip install Error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. Tried all solutions

Try installing this, it's a known workaround for enabling the C++ compiler for Python 2.7.

In my experience, when pip does not find vcvarsall.bat compiler, all I do is opening a Visual Studio console as it set the path variables to call vcvarsall.bat directly and then I run pip on this command line.

How Do I Insert a Byte[] Into an SQL Server VARBINARY Column

How to compare if two structs, slices or maps are equal?

Since July 2017 you can use cmp.Equal with cmpopts.IgnoreFields option.

func TestPerson(t *testing.T) {
    type person struct {
        ID   int
        Name string
    }

    p1 := person{ID: 1, Name: "john doe"}
    p2 := person{ID: 2, Name: "john doe"}
    println(cmp.Equal(p1, p2))
    println(cmp.Equal(p1, p2, cmpopts.IgnoreFields(person{}, "ID")))

    // Prints:
    // false
    // true
}

MySQLi prepared statements error reporting

Completeness

You need to check both $mysqli and $statement. If they are false, you need to output $mysqli->error or $statement->error respectively.

Efficiency

For simple scripts that may terminate, I use simple one-liners that trigger a PHP error with the message. For a more complex application, an error warning system should be activated instead, for example by throwing an exception.

Usage example 1: Simple script

# This is in a simple command line script
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'buzUser', 'buzPassword');
$q = "UPDATE foo SET bar=1";
($statement = $mysqli->prepare($q)) or trigger_error($mysqli->error, E_USER_ERROR);
$statement->execute() or trigger_error($statement->error, E_USER_ERROR);

Usage example 2: Application

# This is part of an application
class FuzDatabaseException extends Exception {
}

class Foo {
  public $mysqli;
  public function __construct(mysqli $mysqli) {
    $this->mysqli = $mysqli;
  }
  public function updateBar() {
    $q = "UPDATE foo SET bar=1";
    $statement = $this->mysqli->prepare($q);
    if (!$statement) {
      throw new FuzDatabaseException($mysqli->error);
    }

    if (!$statement->execute()) {
      throw new FuzDatabaseException($statement->error);
    }
  }
}

$foo = new Foo(new mysqli('localhost','buzUser','buzPassword'));
try {
  $foo->updateBar();
} catch (FuzDatabaseException $e)
  $msg = $e->getMessage();
  // Now send warning emails, write log
}

How to create a temporary directory and get the path / file name in Python

Use the mkdtemp() function from the tempfile module:

import tempfile
import shutil

dirpath = tempfile.mkdtemp()
# ... do stuff with dirpath
shutil.rmtree(dirpath)

MySQL select all rows from last month until (now() - 1 month), for comparative purposes

You could use a WHERE clause like:

WHERE DateColumn BETWEEN
    CAST(date_format(date_sub(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH),'%Y-%m-01') AS date)
    AND
    date_sub(now(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)

HTML meta tag for content language

As a complement to other answers note that you can also put the lang attribute on various HTML tags inside a page. For example to give a hint to the spellchecker that the input text should be in english:

<input ... spellcheck="true" lang="en"> ...

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/lang

How do you create a Swift Date object?

According to @mythz answer, I decide to post updated version of his extension using swift3 syntax.

extension Date {
    static func from(_ year: Int, _ month: Int, _ day: Int) -> Date?
    {
        let gregorianCalendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
        let dateComponents = DateComponents(calendar: gregorianCalendar, year: year, month: month, day: day)
        return gregorianCalendar.date(from: dateComponents)
    }
}

I don't use parse method, but if someone needs, I will update this post.

How to add header row to a pandas DataFrame

You can use names directly in the read_csv

names : array-like, default None List of column names to use. If file contains no header row, then you should explicitly pass header=None

Cov = pd.read_csv("path/to/file.txt", 
                  sep='\t', 
                  names=["Sequence", "Start", "End", "Coverage"])

How can I rebuild indexes and update stats in MySQL innoDB?

This is done with

ANALYZE TABLE table_name;

Read more about it here.

ANALYZE TABLE analyzes and stores the key distribution for a table. During the analysis, the table is locked with a read lock for MyISAM, BDB, and InnoDB. This statement works with MyISAM, BDB, InnoDB, and NDB tables.

Socket send and receive byte array

First, do not use DataOutputStream unless it’s really necessary. Second:

Socket socket = new Socket("host", port);
OutputStream socketOutputStream = socket.getOutputStream();
socketOutputStream.write(message);

Of course this lacks any error checking but this should get you going. The JDK API Javadoc is your friend and can help you a lot.

Setting Column width in Apache POI

I answered my problem with a default width for all columns and cells, like below:

What is the significance of load factor in HashMap?

The documentation explains it pretty well:

An instance of HashMap has two parameters that affect its performance: initial capacity and load factor. The capacity is the number of buckets in the hash table, and the initial capacity is simply the capacity at the time the hash table is created. The load factor is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased. When the number of entries in the hash table exceeds the product of the load factor and the current capacity, the hash table is rehashed (that is, internal data structures are rebuilt) so that the hash table has approximately twice the number of buckets.

As a general rule, the default load factor (.75) offers a good tradeoff between time and space costs. Higher values decrease the space overhead but increase the lookup cost (reflected in most of the operations of the HashMap class, including get and put). The expected number of entries in the map and its load factor should be taken into account when setting its initial capacity, so as to minimize the number of rehash operations. If the initial capacity is greater than the maximum number of entries divided by the load factor, no rehash operations will ever occur.

As with all performance optimizations, it is a good idea to avoid optimizing things prematurely (i.e. without hard data on where the bottlenecks are).

How to iterate over the file in python

Just use for x in f: ..., this gives you line after line, is much shorter and readable (partly because it automatically stops when the file ends) and also saves you the rstrip call because the trailing newline is already stipped.

The error is caused by the exit condition, which can never be true: Even if the file is exhausted, readline will return an empty string, not None. Also note that you could still run into trouble with empty lines, e.g. at the end of the file. Adding if line.strip() == "": continue makes the code ignore blank lines, which is propably a good thing anyway.

Get ALL User Friends Using Facebook Graph API - Android

In v2.0 of the Graph API, calling /me/friends returns the person's friends who also use the app.

In addition, in v2.0, you must request the user_friends permission from each user. user_friends is no longer included by default in every login. Each user must grant the user_friends permission in order to appear in the response to /me/friends. See the Facebook upgrade guide for more detailed information, or review the summary below.

The /me/friendlists endpoint and user_friendlists permission are not what you're after. This endpoint does not return the users friends - its lets you access the lists a person has made to organize their friends. It does not return the friends in each of these lists. This API and permission is useful to allow you to render a custom privacy selector when giving people the opportunity to publish back to Facebook.

If you want to access a list of non-app-using friends, there are two options:

  1. If you want to let your people tag their friends in stories that they publish to Facebook using your App, you can use the /me/taggable_friends API. Use of this endpoint requires review by Facebook and should only be used for the case where you're rendering a list of friends in order to let the user tag them in a post.

  2. If your App is a Game AND your Game supports Facebook Canvas, you can use the /me/invitable_friends endpoint in order to render a custom invite dialog, then pass the tokens returned by this API to the standard Requests Dialog.

In other cases, apps are no longer able to retrieve the full list of a user's friends (only those friends who have specifically authorized your app using the user_friends permission).

For apps wanting allow people to invite friends to use an app, you can still use the Send Dialog on Web or the new Message Dialog on iOS and Android.

Disable Scrolling on Body

This post was helpful, but just wanted to share a slight alternative that may help others:

Setting max-height instead of height also does the trick. In my case, I'm disabling scrolling based on a class toggle. Setting .someContainer {height: 100%; overflow: hidden;} when the container's height is smaller than that of the viewport would stretch the container, which wouldn't be what you'd want. Setting max-height accounts for this, but if the container's height is greater than the viewport's when the content changes, still disables scrolling.

I had a lot of problems making a virtual environment (venv) as described in the tensorflow installation guide.

Most of the commands listed in this post didn't help me either so, if this is also your case this is what I did:

  1. pip3 install --user pipenv
  2. pip install virtualenv

Installs the dependencies to create a virtual environment

  1. mkdir myenv

Makes a new directory called myenv but you can call it whatever you want e.g. mynewenv

  1. cd myenv

Or whatever you call your directory so: cd [your_directory_name]

  1. virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv

Creates a virtual environment called venv in the folder myenv. You can call your virtual env whatever you like e.g. vitualenv [v_env_name]

  1. source ./venv/bin/activate

Activates the virtual environment. Note that if you choose a different v. env. name your commands should be written as such source ./[v_env_name]/bin/activate

  1. deactivate

Deactivates the virtual environment.

Note: I am using Python 3.6.6 & Ubuntu 18.04

Avoid dropdown menu close on click inside

Bootstrap has solved this problem themselves in their support for <form> tags in dropdowns. Their solution is quite graspable and you can read it here: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4-dev/js/src/dropdown.js

It boils down to preventing propagation at the document element and doing so only for events of type 'click.bs.dropdown.data-api' that match the selector '.dropdown .your-custom-class-for-keep-open-on-click-elements'.

Or in code

$(document).on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown .keep-open-on-click', (event) => {
    event.stopPropagation();
});

Get Excel sheet name and use as variable in macro

in a Visual Basic Macro you would use

pName = ActiveWorkbook.Path      ' the path of the currently active file
wbName = ActiveWorkbook.Name     ' the file name of the currently active file
shtName = ActiveSheet.Name       ' the name of the currently selected worksheet

The first sheet in a workbook can be referenced by

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)

so after deleting the [Report] tab you would use

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Report").Delete
shtName = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Name

to "work on that sheet later on" you can create a range object like

Dim MySheet as Range
MySheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(shtName).[A1]

and continue working on MySheet(rowNum, colNum) etc. ...

shortcut creation of a range object without defining shtName:

Dim MySheet as Range
MySheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1).[A1]

Javascript: How to generate formatted easy-to-read JSON straight from an object?

JSON.stringify takes more optional arguments.

Try:

 JSON.stringify({a:1,b:2,c:{d:1,e:[1,2]}}, null, 4); // Indented 4 spaces
 JSON.stringify({a:1,b:2,c:{d:1,e:[1,2]}}, null, "\t"); // Indented with tab

How can I beautify JSON programmatically?

Should work in modern browsers, and it is included in json2.js if you need a fallback for browsers that don't support the JSON helper functions. For display purposes, put the output in a <pre> tag to get newlines to show.

How to replace multiple patterns at once with sed?

I always use multiple statements with "-e"

$ sed -e 's:AND:\n&:g' -e 's:GROUP BY:\n&:g' -e 's:UNION:\n&:g' -e 's:FROM:\n&:g' file > readable.sql

This will append a '\n' before all AND's, GROUP BY's, UNION's and FROM's, whereas '&' means the matched string and '\n&' means you want to replace the matched string with an '\n' before the 'matched'

Appending items to a list of lists in python

Python lists are mutable objects and here:

plot_data = [[]] * len(positions) 

you are repeating the same list len(positions) times.

>>> plot_data = [[]] * 3
>>> plot_data
[[], [], []]
>>> plot_data[0].append(1)
>>> plot_data
[[1], [1], [1]]
>>> 

Each list in your list is a reference to the same object. You modify one, you see the modification in all of them.

If you want different lists, you can do this way:

plot_data = [[] for _ in positions]

for example:

>>> pd = [[] for _ in range(3)]
>>> pd
[[], [], []]
>>> pd[0].append(1)
>>> pd
[[1], [], []]

How to prevent multiple definitions in C?

If you have added test.c to your Code::Blocks project, the definition will be seen twice - once via the #include and once by the linker. You need to:

  • remove the #include "test.c"
  • create a file test.h which contains the declaration: void test();
  • include the file test.h in main.c

How to upgrade Angular CLI to the latest version

ng6+ -> 7.0

Update RxJS (depends on RxJS 6.3)

npm install -g rxjs-tslint
rxjs-5-to-6-migrate -p src/tsconfig.app.json

Remove rxjs-compat

Then update the core packages and Cli:

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core

(Optional: update Node.js to version 10 which is supported in NG7)

ng6+ (Cli 6.0+): features simplified commands

First, update your Cli

npm install -g @angular/cli
npm install @angular/cli
ng update @angular/cli

Then, update your core packages

ng update @angular/core

If you use RxJS, run

ng update rxjs

It will update RxJS to version 6 and install the rxjs-compat package under the hood.

If you run into build errors, try a manual install of:

npm i rxjs-compat
npm i @angular-devkit/build-angular

Lastly, check your version

ng v

Note on production build:

ng6 no longer uses intl in polyfills.ts

//remove them to avoid errors
import 'intl';
import 'intl/locale-data/jsonp/en';

ng5+ (Cli 1.5+)

npm install @angular/{animations,common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router}@next [email protected] rxjs@'^5.5.2'
npm install [email protected] --save-exact

Note:

  1. The supported Typescript version for Cli 1.6 as of writing is up to 2.5.3.
  2. Using @next updates the package to beta, if available. Use @latest to get the latest non-beta version.

After updating both the global and local package, clear the cache to avoid errors:

npm cache verify (recommended)
npm cache clean (for older npm versions)

Here are the official references:

  1. Updating the Cli
  2. Updating the core packages core package.

sorting a vector of structs

Use a comparison function:

bool compareByLength(const data &a, const data &b)
{
    return a.word.size() < b.word.size();
}

and then use std::sort in the header #include <algorithm>:

std::sort(info.begin(), info.end(), compareByLength);

Where to change default pdf page width and font size in jspdf.debug.js?

Besides using one of the default formats you can specify any size you want in the unit you specify.

For example:

// Document of 210mm wide and 297mm high
new jsPDF('p', 'mm', [297, 210]);
// Document of 297mm wide and 210mm high
new jsPDF('l', 'mm', [297, 210]);
// Document of 5 inch width and 3 inch high
new jsPDF('l', 'in', [3, 5]);

The 3rd parameter of the constructor can take an array of the dimensions. However they do not correspond to width and height, instead they are long side and short side (or flipped around).

Your 1st parameter (landscape or portrait) determines what becomes the width and the height.

In the sourcecode on GitHub you can see the supported units (relative proportions to pt), and you can also see the default page formats (with their sizes in pt).

What are the differences among grep, awk & sed?

I just want to mention a thing, there are many tools can do text processing, e.g. sort, cut, split, join, paste, comm, uniq, column, rev, tac, tr, nl, pr, head, tail.....

they are very handy but you have to learn their options etc.

A lazy way (not the best way) to learn text processing might be: only learn grep , sed and awk. with this three tools, you can solve almost 99% of text processing problems and don't need to memorize above different cmds and options. :)

AND, if you 've learned and used the three, you knew the difference. Actually, the difference here means which tool is good at solving what kind of problem.

a more lazy way might be learning a script language (python, perl or ruby) and do every text processing with it.

Datatable date sorting dd/mm/yyyy issue

As I found the easiest way for sorting in this case is by adding 'aaSorting' option in the JS.

For example:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#contacts-table').dataTable({
        "aaSorting": [0, 'desc']
});

The problem here is that this example will sort entries from 1-st column like STRING but not like dates. If source code allows you to change date format from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd "aaSorting" will work properly for you.

Count number of occurences for each unique value

If you have multiple factors (= a multi-dimensional data frame), you can use the dplyr package to count unique values in each combination of factors:

library("dplyr")
data %>% group_by(factor1, factor2) %>% summarize(count=n())

It uses the pipe operator %>% to chain method calls on the data frame data.

Writing unit tests in Python: How do I start?

nosetests is brilliant solution for unit-testing in python. It supports both unittest based testcases and doctests, and gets you started with it with just simple config file.

How do I set a value in CKEditor with Javascript?

As now to day CKEditor 4+ launched we have to use it.ekeditor 4 setData documentation

CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].setData(value);

Where editor1 is textarea Id.

Old methods such as insertHtml('html data') and insertText('text data') also works fine.

and to get data use

var ckdata =  CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].getData();
var data = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData();

Ckedtor 4 documentation

Unknown URL content://downloads/my_downloads

The exception is caused by disabled Download Manager. And there is no way to activate/deactivate Download Manager directly, since it's system application and we don't have access to it.

Only alternative way is redirect user to settings of Download Manager Application.

try {
     //Open the specific App Info page:
     Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
     intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + "com.android.providers.downloads"));
     startActivity(intent);

} catch ( ActivityNotFoundException e ) {
     e.printStackTrace();

     //Open the generic Apps page:
     Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS);
     startActivity(intent);
}

Can I send a ctrl-C (SIGINT) to an application on Windows?

Edit:

For a GUI App, the "normal" way to handle this in Windows development would be to send a WM_CLOSE message to the process's main window.

For a console app, you need to use SetConsoleCtrlHandler to add a CTRL_C_EVENT.

If the application doesn't honor that, you could call TerminateProcess.

How do I call one constructor from another in Java?

Yes, it is possible:

public class Foo {
    private int x;

    public Foo() {
        this(1);
    }

    public Foo(int x) {
        this.x = x;
    }
}

To chain to a particular superclass constructor instead of one in the same class, use super instead of this. Note that you can only chain to one constructor, and it has to be the first statement in your constructor body.

See also this related question, which is about C# but where the same principles apply.

Difference between timestamps with/without time zone in PostgreSQL

Timestamptz vs Timestamp

The timestamptz field in Postgres is basically just the timestamp field where Postgres actually just stores the “normalised” UTC time, even if the timestamp given in the input string has a timezone.

If your input string is: 2018-08-28T12:30:00+05:30 , when this timestamp is stored in the database, it will be stored as 2018-08-28T07:00:00.

The advantage of this over the simple timestamp field is that your input to the database will be timezone independent, and will not be inaccurate when apps from different timezones insert timestamps, or when you move your database server location to a different timezone.

To quote from the docs:

For timestamp with time zone, the internally stored value is always in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, traditionally known as Greenwich Mean Time, GMT). An input value that has an explicit time zone specified is converted to UTC using the appropriate offset for that time zone. If no time zone is stated in the input string, then it is assumed to be in the time zone indicated by the system’s TimeZone parameter, and is converted to UTC using the offset for the timezone zone. To give a simple analogy, a timestamptz value represents an instant in time, the same instant for anyone viewing it. But a timestamp value just represents a particular orientation of a clock, which will represent different instances of time based on your timezone.

For pretty much any use case, timestamptz is almost always a better choice. This choice is made easier with the fact that both timestamptz and timestamp take up the same 8 bytes of data.

How to format code in Xcode?

Select first the text you want to format and then press Ctrl+I.

Use Cmd+A first if you wish to format all text in the selected file.

Note: this procedure only re-indents the lines, it does not do any advanced formatting.


In XCode 12 beta:

The new key binding to re-indent is control+I.

Creating stored procedure with declare and set variables

You should try this syntax - assuming you want to have @OrderID as a parameter for your stored procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.YourStoredProcNameHere
   @OrderID INT
AS
BEGIN
 DECLARE @OrderItemID AS INT
 DECLARE @AppointmentID AS INT
 DECLARE @PurchaseOrderID AS INT
 DECLARE @PurchaseOrderItemID AS INT
 DECLARE @SalesOrderID AS INT
 DECLARE @SalesOrderItemID AS INT

 SELECT @OrderItemID = OrderItemID 
 FROM [OrderItem] 
 WHERE OrderID = @OrderID

 SELECT @AppointmentID = AppoinmentID 
 FROM [Appointment] 
 WHERE OrderID = @OrderID

 SELECT @PurchaseOrderID = PurchaseOrderID 
 FROM [PurchaseOrder] 
 WHERE OrderID = @OrderID

END

OF course, that only works if you're returning exactly one value (not multiple values!)

Wait for all promises to resolve

Recently had this problem but with unkown number of promises.Solved using jQuery.map().

function methodThatChainsPromises(args) {

    //var args = [
    //    'myArg1',
    //    'myArg2',
    //    'myArg3',
    //];

    var deferred = $q.defer();
    var chain = args.map(methodThatTakeArgAndReturnsPromise);

    $q.all(chain)
    .then(function () {
        $log.debug('All promises have been resolved.');
        deferred.resolve();
    })
    .catch(function () {
        $log.debug('One or more promises failed.');
        deferred.reject();
    });

    return deferred.promise;
}

In an array of objects, fastest way to find the index of an object whose attributes match a search

I like this method because it's easy to compare to any value in the object no matter how deep it's nested.

 while(i<myArray.length && myArray[i].data.value!==value){
  i++; 
}
// i now hows the index value for the match. 
 console.log("Index ->",i );

Formula to check if string is empty in Crystal Reports

If IsNull({TABLE.FIELD1}) then "NULL" +',' + {TABLE.FIELD2} else {TABLE.FIELD1} + ', ' + {TABLE.FIELD2}

How to write a Python module/package?

A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements. The file name is the module name with the suffix .py

Create a file called hello.py with the following function as its content:

def helloworld():
   print "hello"

Then you can

import hello
hello.helloworld()

To group many .py files, put them in a folder. Any folder with an init.py is considered a module by python and you can call them a package.

|-HelloModule |_ init.py |_ hellomodule.py

Checking if form has been submitted - PHP

On a different note, it is also always a good practice to add a token to your form and verify it to check if the data was not sent from outside. Here are the steps:

  1. Generate a unique token (you can use hash) Ex:

    $token = hash (string $algo , string $data [, bool $raw_output = FALSE ] );
    
  2. Assign this token to a session variable. Ex:

    $_SESSION['form_token'] = $token;
    
  3. Add a hidden input to submit the token. Ex:

    input type="hidden" name="token" value="{$token}"
    
  4. then as part of your validation, check if the submitted token matches the session var.

    Ex: if ( $_POST['token'] === $_SESSION['form_token'] ) ....
    

PHP "php://input" vs $_POST

Simple example of how to use it

 <?php  
     if(!isset($_POST) || empty($_POST)) { 
     ?> 
        <form name="form1" method="post" action=""> 
          <input type="text" name="textfield"><br /> 
          <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="submit"> 
        </form> 
   <?php  
        } else { 
        $example = file_get_contents("php://input");
        echo $example;  }  
   ?>

How to add Options Menu to Fragment in Android

I had the same problem, but I think it's better to summarize and introduce the last step to get it working:

  1. Add setHasOptionsMenu(true) method in your Fragment's onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) method.

  2. Override onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) (if you want to do something different in your Fragment's menu) and onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) methods in your Fragment.

  3. Inside your onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) Activity's method, make sure you return false when the menu item action would be implemented in onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) Fragment's method.

An example:

Activity

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {

        case R.id.activity_menu_item:

            // Do Activity menu item stuff here
            return true;

        case R.id.fragment_menu_item:

            // Not implemented here
            return false;
        default:
            break;
    }

    return false;
}

Fragment

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    ....
}

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    // Do something that differs the Activity's menu here
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {

        case R.id.activity_menu_item:

            // Not implemented here
            return false;
        case R.id.fragment_menu_item:

            // Do Fragment menu item stuff here
            return true;

        default:
            break;
    }

    return false;
}

how can I set visible back to true in jquery

The problem is that since you are using ASP.NET controls with a runat attribute, the ID of the control is not actually "test1". It's "test1" with a long string attached to it.

Show two digits after decimal point in c++

The easiest way to do this, is using cstdio's printf. Actually, i'm surprised that anyone mentioned printf! anyway, you need to include the library, like this...

#include<cstdio>

int main() {
    double total;
    cin>>total;
    printf("%.2f\n", total);
}

This will print the value of "total" (that's what %, and then ,total does) with 2 floating points (that's what .2f does). And the \n at the end, is just the end of line, and this works with UVa's judge online compiler options, that is:

g++ -lm -lcrypt -O2 -pipe -DONLINE_JUDGE filename.cpp

the code you are trying to run will not run with this compiler options...

Possible cases for Javascript error: "Expected identifier, string or number"

The cause of this type of error can often be a misplaced comma in an object or array definition:

var obj = {
   id: 23,
   name: "test",  <--
}

If it appears at a random line, maybe it's part of an object defintion you are creating dynamically.

csv.Error: iterator should return strings, not bytes

In Python3, csv.reader expects, that passed iterable returns strings, not bytes. Here is one more solution to this problem, that uses codecs module:

read = csv.reader(codecs.iterdecode(ifile, 'utf-8'))
for row in read :
    print (row) 

How to convert string to long

Angular2 - Radio Button Binding

Here is some code I use that works with Angular 7

(Note: In the past I sometimes used info provided by the answer of Anthony Brenelière, which I appreciate. But, at least for Angular 7, this part:

 [checked]="model.options==2"

I found to be unnecessary.)

My solution here has three advantages:

  1. Consistent with the most commonly recommended solutions. So it is good for new projects.
  2. Also allows radio button code to be similar to Flex/ActionScript code. This is personally important because I am translating Flex code to Angular. Like Flex/ActionScript code it allows code to work on a radio button object to check or uncheck or find out if a radio button is checked.
  3. Unlike most solutions you will see, it is very object-based. One advantage is organization: It groups together data binding fields of a radio button, such as selected, enabled, visible, and possibly others.

Example HTML:

       <input type="radio" id="byAllRadioButton"
                 name="findByRadioButtonGroup"
                 [(ngModel)]="findByRadioButtonGroup.dataBindingValue"
                 [value]="byAllRadioButton.MY_DATA_BINDING_VALUE">         

      <input type="radio" id="byNameRadioButton"
                 name="findByRadioButtonGroup" 
                 [(ngModel)]="findByRadioButtonGroup.dataBindingValue"
                 [value]="byNameRadioButton.MY_DATA_BINDING_VALUE">

Example TypeScript:

 findByRadioButtonGroup : UIRadioButtonGroupModel
    = new UIRadioButtonGroupModel("findByRadioButtonGroup",
                                  "byAllRadioButton_value",
                                  (groupValue : any) => this.handleCriteriaRadioButtonChange(groupValue)
                                  );

  byAllRadioButton : UIRadioButtonControlModel
    = new UIRadioButtonControlModel("byAllRadioButton",
    "byAllRadioButton_value",
    this.findByRadioButtonGroup) ;

  byNameRadioButton : UIRadioButtonControlModel
    = new UIRadioButtonControlModel("byNameRadioButton",
    "byNameRadioButton_value",
    this.findByRadioButtonGroup) ;



  private handleCriteriaRadioButtonChange = (groupValue : any) : void => {

    if ( this.byAllRadioButton.selected ) {

      // Do something

    } else if ( this.byNameRadioButton.selected ) {

      // Do something

    } else {
      throw new Error("No expected radio button selected");
    }
  };

Two classes are used:

Radio Button Group Class:

export class UIRadioButtonGroupModel {


  private _dataBindingValue : any;


  constructor(private readonly debugName : string,
              private readonly initialDataBindingValue : any = null,   // Can be null or unspecified
              private readonly notifyOfChangeHandler : Function = null       // Can be null or unspecified
  ) {

    this._dataBindingValue = initialDataBindingValue;
  }


  public get dataBindingValue() : any {

    return this._dataBindingValue;
  }


  public set dataBindingValue(val : any) {

    this._dataBindingValue = val;
    if (this.notifyOfChangeHandler != null) {
      MyAngularUtils.callLater(this.notifyOfChangeHandler, this._dataBindingValue);
    }
  }



  public unselectRadioButton(valueOfOneRadioButton : any) {

    //
    // Warning: This method probably never or almost never should be needed.
    // Setting the selected radio button to unselected probably should be avoided, since
    // the result will be that no radio button will be selected.  That is
    // typically not how radio buttons work.  But we allow it here.
    // Be careful in its use.
    //

    if (valueOfOneRadioButton == this._dataBindingValue) {
      console.warn("Setting radio button group value to null");
      this.dataBindingValue = null;
    }
  }

};

Radio Button Class

export class UIRadioButtonControlModel {


  public enabled : boolean = true;
  public visible : boolean = true;


  constructor(public readonly debugName : string,
              public readonly MY_DATA_BINDING_VALUE : any,
              private readonly group : UIRadioButtonGroupModel,
              ) {

  }


  public get selected() : boolean {

    return (this.group.dataBindingValue == this.MY_DATA_BINDING_VALUE);
  }


  public set selected(doSelectMe : boolean) {

    if (doSelectMe) {
      this.group.dataBindingValue = this.MY_DATA_BINDING_VALUE;
    } else {
      this.group.unselectRadioButton(this.MY_DATA_BINDING_VALUE);
    }
  }

}

Tracking changes in Windows registry

PhiLho has mentioned AutoRuns in passing, but I think it deserves elaboration.

It doesn't scan the whole registry, just the parts containing references to things which get loaded automatically (EXEs, DLLs, drivers etc.) which is probably what you are interested in. It doesn't track changes but can export to a text file, so you can run it before and after installation and do a diff.

The project type is not supported by this installation

You could also try to run the following command:

devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

How can I change the default credentials used to connect to Visual Studio Online (TFSPreview) when loading Visual Studio up?

I ran into this same issue. Someone had logged onto my computer and used their TFS credentials. I'm running VS2012, Windows 7, and the network admins have Credential Manager disabled.

Run this command from a command window with the same user your running visual studio as.

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

You'll see a popup with all your stored credentials. Remove the one for your TFS server.

Note: You will need to restart visual studio because it caches the tfs credentials.

Show a div as a modal pop up

A simple modal pop up div or dialog box can be done by CSS properties and little bit of jQuery.The basic idea is simple:

  • 1. Create a div with semi transparent background & show it on top of your content page on click.
  • 2. Show your pop up div or alert div on top of the semi transparent dimming/hiding div.
  • So we need three divs:

  • content(main content of the site).
  • hider(To dim the content).
  • popup_box(the modal div to display).

    First let us define the CSS:

        #hider
        {
            position:absolute;
            top: 0%;
            left: 0%;
            width:1600px;
            height:2000px;
            margin-top: -800px; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your height*/
            margin-left: -500px; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your width*/
            /*
            z- index must be lower than pop up box
           */
            z-index: 99;
           background-color:Black;
           //for transparency
           opacity:0.6;
        }
    
        #popup_box  
        {
    
        position:absolute;
            top: 50%;
            left: 50%;
            width:10em;
            height:10em;
            margin-top: -5em; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your height*/
            margin-left: -5em; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your width*/
            border: 1px solid #ccc;
            border:  2px solid black;
            z-index:100; 
    
        }
    

    It is important that we set our hider div's z-index lower than pop_up box as we want to show popup_box on top.
    Here comes the java Script:

            $(document).ready(function () {
            //hide hider and popup_box
            $("#hider").hide();
            $("#popup_box").hide();
    
            //on click show the hider div and the message
            $("#showpopup").click(function () {
                $("#hider").fadeIn("slow");
                $('#popup_box').fadeIn("slow");
            });
            //on click hide the message and the
            $("#buttonClose").click(function () {
    
                $("#hider").fadeOut("slow");
                $('#popup_box').fadeOut("slow");
            });
    
            });
    

    And finally the HTML:

    <div id="hider"></div>
    <div id="popup_box">
        Message<br />
        <a id="buttonClose">Close</a>
    </div>    
    <div id="content">
        Page's main content.<br />
        <a id="showpopup">ClickMe</a>
    </div>
    

    I have used jquery-1.4.1.min.js www.jquery.com/download and tested the code in Firefox. Hope this helps.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="ext-all.js"></script>
    
    function openModalDialog() {
        Ext.onReady(function() {
            Ext.create('Ext.window.Window', {
            title: 'Hello',

    Start an Activity with a parameter

    Just add extra data to the Intent you use to call your activity.

    In the caller activity :

    Intent i = new Intent(this, TheNextActivity.class);
    i.putExtra("id", id);
    startActivity(i);
    

    Inside the onCreate() of the activity you call :

    Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
    int id = b.getInt("id");
