Immediate exit of 'while' loop in C++

Yah Im pretty sure you just put

    break;

right where you want it to exit

like

    if (variable == 1)
    {
    //do something
    }
    else
    {
    //exit
    break;
    }

Passing arguments forward to another javascript function

Use .apply() to have the same access to arguments in function b, like this:

function a(){
    b.apply(null, arguments);
}
function b(){
   alert(arguments); //arguments[0] = 1, etc
}
a(1,2,3);?

You can test it out here.

Get random integer in range (x, y]?

Just add one to the result. That turns [0, 10) into (0,10] (for integers). [0, 10) is just a more confusing way to say [0, 9], and (0,10] is [1,10] (for integers).

jQuery, simple polling example

Here's a helpful article on long polling (long-held HTTP request) using jQuery. A code snippet derived from this article:

(function poll() {
    setTimeout(function() {
        $.ajax({
            url: "/server/api/function",
            type: "GET",
            success: function(data) {
                console.log("polling");
            },
            dataType: "json",
            complete: poll,
            timeout: 2000
        })
    }, 5000);
})();

This will make the next request only after the ajax request has completed.

A variation on the above that will execute immediately the first time it is called before honouring the wait/timeout interval.

(function poll() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "/server/api/function",
        type: "GET",
        success: function(data) {
            console.log("polling");
        },
        dataType: "json",
        complete: setTimeout(function() {poll()}, 5000),
        timeout: 2000
    })
})();

Ruby get object keys as array

Like taro said, keys returns the array of keys of your Hash:

http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Hash.html#method-i-keys

You'll find all the different methods available for each class.

If you don't know what you're dealing with:

 puts my_unknown_variable.class.to_s

This will output the class name.

How to get html table td cell value by JavaScript?

Don't use in-line JavaScript, separate your behaviour from your data and it gets much easier to handle. I'd suggest the following:

var table = document.getElementById('tableID'),
    cells = table.getElementsByTagName('td');

for (var i=0,len=cells.length; i<len; i++){
    cells[i].onclick = function(){
        console.log(this.innerHTML);
        /* if you know it's going to be numeric:
        console.log(parseInt(this.innerHTML),10);
        */
    }
}

JS Fiddle proof-of-concept.

A revised approach, in response to the comment (below):

You're missing a semicolon. Also, don't make functions within a loop.

This revision binds a (single) named function as the click event-handler of the multiple <td> elements, and avoids the unnecessary overhead of creating multiple anonymous functions within a loop (which is poor practice due to repetition and the impact on performance, due to memory usage):

function logText() {
  // 'this' is automatically passed to the named
  // function via the use of addEventListener()
  // (later):
  console.log(this.textContent);
}

// using a CSS Selector, with document.querySelectorAll()
// to get a NodeList of <td> elements within the #tableID element:
var cells = document.querySelectorAll('#tableID td');

// iterating over the array-like NodeList, using
// Array.prototype.forEach() and Function.prototype.call():
Array.prototype.forEach.call(cells, function(td) {
  // the first argument of the anonymous function (here: 'td')
  // is the element of the array over which we're iterating.

  // adding an event-handler (the function logText) to handle
  // the click events on the <td> elements:
  td.addEventListener('click', logText);
});

Remove header and footer from window.print()

 <html>
<head>
    <title>Print</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
document.margin='none';
</script>
</head>
<body>
  <p>hello</p>
  <p>hi</p>

//place it in a script file or in the script tag.

This will remove all the margins and you won't be able to see the headers and footers.

How can I add or update a query string parameter?

There are a lot of awkward and unnecessarily complicated answers on this page. The highest rated one, @amateur's, is quite good, although it has a bit of unnecessary fluff in the RegExp. Here is a slightly more optimal solution with cleaner RegExp and a cleaner replace call:

function updateQueryStringParamsNoHash(uri, key, value) {
  var re = new RegExp("([?&])" + key + "=[^&]*", "i");
  return re.test(uri)
       ? uri.replace(re, '$1' + key + "=" + value)
       : uri + separator + key + "=" + value
  ;
}

As an added bonus, if uri is not a string, you won't get errors for trying to call match or replace on something that may not implement those methods.

And if you want to handle the case of a hash (and you've already done a check for properly formatted HTML), you can leverage the existing function instead of writing a new function containing the same logic:

function updateQueryStringParams(url, key, value) {
    var splitURL = url.split('#');
    var hash = splitURL[1];
    var uri = updateQueryStringParamsNoHash(splitURL[0]);
    return hash == null ? uri : uri + '#' + hash;
}

Or you can make some slight changes to @Adam's otherwise excellent answer:

function updateQueryStringParameter(uri, key, value) {
  var re = new RegExp("([?&])" + key + "=[^&#]*", "i");
  if (re.test(uri)) {
    return uri.replace(re, '$1' + key + "=" + value);
  } else {
    var matchData = uri.match(/^([^#]*)(#.*)?$/);
    var separator = /\?/.test(uri) ? "&" : "?";    
    return matchData[0] + separator + key + "=" + value + (matchData[1] || '');
  }
}

Entity Framework Queryable async

There is a massive difference in the example you have posted, the first version:

var urls = await context.Urls.ToListAsync();

This is bad, it basically does select * from table, returns all results into memory and then applies the where against that in memory collection rather than doing select * from table where... against the database.

The second method will not actually hit the database until a query is applied to the IQueryable (probably via a linq .Where().Select() style operation which will only return the db values which match the query.

If your examples were comparable, the async version will usually be slightly slower per request as there is more overhead in the state machine which the compiler generates to allow the async functionality.

However the major difference (and benefit) is that the async version allows more concurrent requests as it doesn't block the processing thread whilst it is waiting for IO to complete (db query, file access, web request etc).

Kotlin: How to get and set a text to TextView in Android using Kotlin?

In kotlin don't use getters and setters as like in java.The correct format of the kotlin is given below.

val textView: TextView = findViewById(R.id.android_text) as TextView
textView.setOnClickListener {
    textView.text = getString(R.string.name)
}

To get the values from the Textview we have to use this method

 val str: String = textView.text.toString()

 println("the value is $str")

Equivalent of LIMIT for DB2

Try this

SELECT * FROM
    (
        SELECT T.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER() R FROM TABLE T
    )
    WHERE R BETWEEN 10000 AND 20000

What’s the difference between Response.Write() andResponse.Output.Write()?

Here Response.Write():to display only string and you can not display any other data type values like int,date,etc.Conversion(from one data type to another) is not allowed. whereas Response .Output .Write(): you can display any type of data like int, date ,string etc.,by giving index values.

Here is example:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       Response.Write ("hi good morning!"+"is it right?");//only strings are allowed        
       Response.Write("Scott is {0} at {1:d}", "cool", DateTime.Now);//this will give error(conversion is not allowed)
       Response.Output.Write("\nhi goood morning!");//works fine
       Response.Output.Write("Jai is {0} on {1:d}", "cool", DateTime.Now);//here the current date will be converted into string and displayed
    }

How do I make an html link look like a button?

You may do it with JavaScript:

  1. Get CSS styles of real button with getComputedStyle(realButton).
  2. Apply the styles to all your links.

_x000D_
/* javascript, after body is loaded */_x000D_
'use strict';_x000D_
_x000D_
{ // Namespace starts (to avoid polluting root namespace)._x000D_
  _x000D_
  const btnCssText = window.getComputedStyle(_x000D_
    document.querySelector('.used-for-btn-css-class')_x000D_
  ).cssText;_x000D_
  document.querySelectorAll('.btn').forEach(_x000D_
    (btn) => {_x000D_
      _x000D_
      const _d = btn.style.display; // Hidden buttons should stay hidden._x000D_
      btn.style.cssText = btnCssText;_x000D_
      btn.style.display = _d;_x000D_
      _x000D_
    }_x000D_
  );_x000D_
  _x000D_

Insert NULL value into INT column

If column is not NOT NULL (nullable).

You just put NULL instead of value in INSERT statement.

CSS transition fade on hover

This will do the trick

.gallery-item
{
  opacity:1;
}

.gallery-item:hover
{
  opacity:0;
  transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
  -moz-transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
  -webkit-transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
  -o-transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
}

Invert "if" statement to reduce nesting

This is of course subjective, but I think it strongly improves on two points:

  • It is now immediately obvious that your function has nothing left to do if condition holds.
  • It keeps the nesting level down. Nesting hurts readability more than you'd think.

Add a CSS border on hover without moving the element

You can make the border transparent. In this way it exists, but is invisible, so it doesn't push anything around:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.jobs .item {
   background: #eee;
   border: 1px solid transparent;
}

.jobs .item:hover {
   background: #e1e1e1;
   border: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
}
_x000D_
<div class="jobs">
  <div class="item">Item</div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

For elements that already have a border, and you don't want them to move, you can use negative margins:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.jobs .item {
    background: #eee;
    border: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
}

.jobs .item:hover {
   background: #e1e1e1;
    border: 3px solid #d0d0d0;
    margin: -2px;
}
_x000D_
<div class="jobs">
  <div class="item">Item</div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Another possible trick for adding width to an existing border is to add a box-shadow with the spread attribute of the desired pixel width.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.jobs .item {
    background: #eee;
    border: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
}

.jobs .item:hover {
    background: #e1e1e1;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px #d0d0d0;
}
_x000D_
<div class="jobs">
  <div class="item">Item</div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Incomplete type is not allowed: stringstream

An incomplete type error is when the compiler encounters the use of an identifier that it knows is a type, for instance because it has seen a forward-declaration of it (e.g. class stringstream;), but it hasn't seen a full definition for it (class stringstream { ... };).

This could happen for a type that you haven't used in your own code but is only present through included header files -- when you've included header files that use the type, but not the header file where the type is defined. It's unusual for a header to not itself include all the headers it needs, but not impossible.

For things from the standard library, such as the stringstream class, use the language standard or other reference documentation for the class or the individual functions (e.g. Unix man pages, MSDN library, etc.) to figure out what you need to #include to use it and what namespace to find it in if any. You may need to search for pages where the class name appears (e.g. man -k stringstream).

How do I get information about an index and table owner in Oracle?

According to the docs, you can just do:

select INDEX_NAME, TABLE_OWNER, TABLE_NAME, UNIQUENESS from USER_INDEXES

or

select INDEX_NAME, TABLE_OWNER, TABLE_NAME, UNIQUENESS from ALL_INDEXES

if you want all indexes...

Why do table names in SQL Server start with "dbo"?

If you are using Sql Server Management Studio, you can create your own schema by browsing to Databases - Your Database - Security - Schemas.

To create one using a script is as easy as (for example):

CREATE SCHEMA [EnterSchemaNameHere] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]

You can use them to logically group your tables, for example by creating a schema for "Financial" information and another for "Personal" data. Your tables would then display as:

Financial.BankAccounts Financial.Transactions Personal.Address

Rather than using the default schema of dbo.

What is the basic difference between the Factory and Abstract Factory Design Patterns?

By Definition we can drag out the differences of two:

Factory: An interface is used for creating an object, but subclass decides which class to instantiate. The creation of object is done when it is required.

Abstract Factory: Abstract Factory pattern acts as a super-factory which creates other factories. In Abstract Factory pattern an interface is responsible for creating a set of related objects, or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.

So, in the definitions above we can emphasize on a particular difference. that is, Factory pattern is responsible for creating objects and Abstract Factory is responsible for creating a set of related objects; obviously both through an interface.

Factory pattern:

public interface IFactory{
  void VehicleType(string n);
 }

 public class Scooter : IFactory{
  public void VehicleType(string n){
   Console.WriteLine("Vehicle type: " + n);
  }
 }

 public class Bike : IFactory{
  public void VehicleType(string n) {
  Console.WriteLine("Vehicle type: " + n);
  }
 }

 public interface IVehicleFactory{
  IFactory GetVehicleType(string Vehicle);
 }

 public class ConcreteVehicleFactory : IVehicleFactory{
 public IFactory GetVehicleType(string Vehicle){
   switch (Vehicle){
    case "Scooter":
     return new Scooter();
    case "Bike":
     return new Bike();
    default:
    return new Scooter();
  }
 }

 class Program{
  static void Main(string[] args){
   IVehicleFactory factory = new ConcreteVehicleFactory();
   IFactory scooter = factory.GetVehicleType("Scooter");
   scooter.VehicleType("Scooter");

   IFactory bike = factory.GetVehicleType("Bike");
   bike.VehicleType("Bike");

   Console.ReadKey();
 }
}

Abstract Factory Pattern:

interface IVehicleFactory{
 IBike GetBike();
 IScooter GetScooter();
}

class HondaFactory : IVehicleFactory{
     public IBike GetBike(){
            return new FZS();
     }
     public IScooter GetScooter(){
            return new FZscooter();
     }
 }
class HeroFactory: IVehicleFactory{
      public IBike GetBike(){
            return new Pulsur();
     }
      public IScooter GetScooter(){
            return new PulsurScooter();
     }
}

interface IBike
    {
        string Name();
    }
interface IScooter
    {
        string Name();
    }

class FZS:IBike{
   public string Name(){
     return "FZS";
   }
}
class Pulsur:IBike{
   public string Name(){
     return "Pulsur";
   }
}

class FZscooter:IScooter {
  public string Name(){
     return "FZscooter";
   }
}

class PulsurScooter:IScooter{
  public string Name(){
     return "PulsurScooter";
   }
}

enum MANUFACTURERS
{
    HONDA,
    HERO
}

class VehicleTypeCheck{
        IBike bike;
        IScooter scooter;
        IVehicleFactory factory;
        MANUFACTURERS manu;

        public VehicleTypeCheck(MANUFACTURERS m){
            manu = m;
        }

        public void CheckProducts()
        {
            switch (manu){
                case MANUFACTURERS.HONDA:
                    factory = new HondaFactory();
                    break;
                case MANUFACTURERS.HERO:
                    factory = new HeroFactory();
                    break;
            }

      Console.WriteLine("Bike: " + factory.GetBike().Name() + "\nScooter: " +      factory.GetScooter().Name());
        }
  }

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            VehicleTypeCheck chk = new VehicleTypeCheck(MANUFACTURERS.HONDA);
            chk.CheckProducts();

            chk= new VehicleTypeCheck(MANUFACTURERS.HERO);
            chk.CheckProducts();

            Console.Read();
        }
    }

Check if number is decimal

A total cludge.. but hey it works !

$numpart = explode(".", $sumnum); 

if ((exists($numpart[1]) && ($numpart[1] > 0 )){
//    it's a decimal that is greater than zero
} else {
// its not a decimal, or the decimal is zero
}

ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application?

Web Site = use when the website is created by graphic designers and the programmers only edit one or two pages

Web Application = use when the application is created by programmers and the graphic designers only edit one or two paged/images.

Web Sites can be worked on using any HTML tools without having to have developer studio, as project files don’t need to be updated, etc. Web applications are best when the team is mostly using developer studio and there is a high code content.

(Some coding errors are found in Web Applications at compile time that are not found in Web Sites until run time.)

Warning: I wrote this answer many years ago and have not used Asp.net since. I expect things have now moved on.

Artificially create a connection timeout error

There are services available which allow you to artificially create origin timeouts by calling an API where you specify how long the server will take to respond. Server Timeout on macgyver is an example of such a service.

For example if you wanted to test a request that takes 15 seconds to respond you would simply make a post request to the macgyver API.

JSON Payload:

{
    "timeout_length": 15000
}

API Response (After 15 seconds):

{
    "response": "ok"
}

Automated testing for REST Api

Runscope is a cloud based service that can monitor Web APIs using a set of tests. Tests can be , scheduled and/or run via parameterized web hooks. Tests can also be executed from data centers around the world to ensure response times are acceptable to global client base.

The free tier of Runscope supports up to 10K requests per month.

Disclaimer: I am a developer advocate for Runscope.

Add CSS box shadow around the whole DIV

Yes, don't offset vertically or horizontally, and use a relatively large blur radius: fiddle

Also, you can use multiple box-shadows if you separate them with a comma. This will allow you to fine-tune where they blur and how much they extend. The example I provide is indistinguishable from a large outline, but it can be fine-tuned significantly more: fiddle

You missed the last and most relevant property of box-shadow, which is spread-distance. You can specify a value for how much the shadow expands or contracts (makes my second example obsolete): fiddle

The full property list is:

box-shadow: [horizontal-offset] [vertical-offset] [blur-radius] [spread-distance] [color] inset?

But even better, read through the spec.

How to add a footer in ListView?

The activity in which you want to add listview footer and i have also generate an event on listview footer click.

  public class MainActivity extends Activity

         {

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

            ListView  list_of_f = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_of_f);

            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.web_view, null);  // i have open a webview on the listview footer

            RelativeLayout  layoutFooter = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.layoutFooter);

            list_of_f.addFooterView(view);

        }

Android/Java - Date Difference in days

Most of the answers were good and right for your problem of

so i want to find the difference between date in number of days, how do i find difference in days?

I suggest this very simple and straightforward approach that is guaranteed to give you the correct difference in any time zone:

int difference= 
((int)((startDate.getTime()/(24*60*60*1000))
-(int)(endDate.getTime()/(24*60*60*1000))));

And that's it!

How can I create a war file of my project in NetBeans?

If NetBeans haven't created your dist folder, execute the do-dist ant target:

In commandline navigate to the directory of your project, the one containing a build.xml file

If ant runs fine (most likely), your dist folder will be created, containing the .war file.

Foreign Key Django Model

You create the relationships the other way around; add foreign keys to the Person type to create a Many-to-One relationship:

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    birthday = models.DateField()
    anniversary = models.ForeignKey(
        Anniversary, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    address = models.ForeignKey(
        Address, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

class Address(models.Model):
    line1 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    line2 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    postalcode = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    city = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=150)

class Anniversary(models.Model):
    date = models.DateField()

Any one person can only be connected to one address and one anniversary, but addresses and anniversaries can be referenced from multiple Person entries.

Anniversary and Address objects will be given a reverse, backwards relationship too; by default it'll be called person_set but you can configure a different name if you need to. See Following relationships "backward" in the queries documentation.

Install a Nuget package in Visual Studio Code

  1. Install NuGet Package Manager
  2. Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Command+Shift+P on Mac
  3. Search for NuGet Package Manager: Add Package
  4. Enter package name i.e. AutoMapper
  5. Select package & version
  6. Restore if needed

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

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

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

or

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

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

Python base64 data decode

(I know this is old but I wanted to post this for people like me who stumble upon it in the future) I personally just use this python code to decode base64 strings:

print open("FILE-WITH-STRING", "rb").read().decode("base64")

So you can run it in a bash script like this:

python -c 'print open("FILE-WITH-STRING", "rb").read().decode("base64")' > outputfile
file -i outputfile

twneale has also pointed out an even simpler solution: base64 -d So you can use it like this:

cat "FILE WITH STRING" | base64 -d > OUTPUTFILE
#Or You Can Do This
echo "STRING" | base64 -d > OUTPUTFILE

That will save the decoded string to outputfile and then attempt to identify file-type using either the file tool or you can try TrID. The following command will decode the string into a file and then use TrID to automatically identify the file's type and add the extension.

echo "STRING" | base64 -d > OUTPUTFILE; trid -ce OUTPUTFILE

Get height of div with no height set in css

jQuery .height will return you the height of the element. It doesn't need CSS definition as it determines the computed height.

DEMO

You can use .height(), .innerHeight() or outerHeight() based on what you need.

enter image description here

.height() - returns the height of element excludes padding, border and margin.

.innerHeight() - returns the height of element includes padding but excludes border and margin.

.outerHeight() - returns the height of the div including border but excludes margin.

.outerHeight(true) - returns the height of the div including margin.

Check below code snippet for live demo. :)

How do I change a PictureBox's image?

If you have an image imported as a resource in your project there is also this:

Where picPreview is the name of the picture box and ImageName is the name of the file you want to display.

*Resources are located by going to: Project --> Properties --> Resources

How to do ToString for a possibly null object?

With an extension method, you can accomplish this:

public static class Extension
{
    public static string ToStringOrEmpty(this Object value)
    {
        return value == null ? "" : value.ToString();
    }
}

The following would write nothing to the screen and would not thrown an exception:

        string value = null;

        Console.WriteLine(value.ToStringOrEmpty());

How to use custom font in a project written in Android Studio

2) From Resource type list, select font, and then click OK.

3) Put your font files in the font folder.

How do I include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file?

Or rather than including at run time, use a script to concatenate prior to upload.

I use Sprockets (I don't know if there are others). You build your JavaScript code in separate files and include comments that are processed by the Sprockets engine as includes. For development you can include files sequentially, then for production to merge them...

Determining type of an object in ruby

Oftentimes in Ruby, you don't actually care what the object's class is, per se, you just care that it responds to a certain method. This is known as Duck Typing and you'll see it in all sorts of Ruby codebases.

So in many (if not most) cases, its best to use Duck Typing using #respond_to?(method):

object.respond_to?(:to_i)

Decreasing height of bootstrap 3.0 navbar

This is my experience

ListBox vs. ListView - how to choose for data binding

A ListView is a specialized ListBox (that is, it inherits from ListBox). It allows you to specify different views rather than a straight list. You can either roll your own view, or use GridView (think explorer-like "details view"). It's basically the multi-column listbox, the cousin of windows form's listview.

If you don't need the additional capabilities of ListView, you can certainly use ListBox if you're simply showing a list of items (Even if the template is complex).

C# IPAddress from string

You've probably miss-typed something above that bit of code or created your own class called IPAddress. If you're using the .net one, that function should be available.

Have you tried using System.Net.IPAddress just in case?

How to fix "ImportError: No module named ..." error in Python?

In my mind I have to consider that the foo folder is a stand-alone library. I might want to consider moving it to the Lib\site-packages folder within a python installation. I might want to consider adding a foo.pth file there.

I know it's a library since the ./programs/my_python_program.py contains the following line:

from foo.tasks import my_function

So it doesn't matter that ./programs is a sibling folder to ./foo. It's the fact that my_python_program.py is run as a script like this:

python ./programs/my_python_program.py

How do I launch a program from command line without opening a new cmd window?

If you're doing it via CMD as you say, then you can just enter the command like so:

path\to\your.exe 

which will open it within the same window. For example in C++:

system("path\\to\\your.exe"); // Double backslash for escaping

will open your.exe in the current CMD window. Likewise to start with a new window, just go for:

system("start path\\to\\your.exe");

If you go for the first option, you would have to clear your screen unless you wanted to have the command to open your.exe on the screen still.

Sum function in VBA

Function is not a property/method from range.

If you want to sum values then use the following:

Range("A1").Value = Application.Sum(Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(3, 2)))

EDIT:

if you want the formula then use as follows:

Range("A1").Formula = "=SUM(" & Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(3, 2)).Address(False, False) & ")"

'The two false after Adress is to define the address as relative (A2:B3).
'If you omit the parenthesis clause or write True instead, you can set the address
'as absolute ($A$2:$B$3).

In case you are allways going to use the same range address then you can use as Rory sugested:

Range("A1").Formula ="=Sum(A2:B3)"

How can prepared statements protect from SQL injection attacks?

The idea is very simple - the query and the data are sent to the database server separately.
That's all.

The root of the SQL injection problem is in the mixing of the code and the data.

In fact, our SQL query is a legitimate program. And we are creating such a program dynamically, adding some data on the fly. Thus, the data may interfere with the program code and even alter it, as every SQL injection example shows it (all examples in PHP/Mysql):

$expected_data = 1;
$query = "SELECT * FROM users where id=$expected_data";

will produce a regular query

SELECT * FROM users where id=1

while this code

$spoiled_data = "1; DROP TABLE users;"
$query        = "SELECT * FROM users where id=$spoiled_data";

will produce a malicious sequence

SELECT * FROM users where id=1; DROP TABLE users;

It works because we are adding the data directly to the program body and it becomes a part of the program, so the data may alter the program, and depending on the data passed, we will either have a regular output or a table users deleted.

While in case of prepared statements we don't alter our program, it remains intact
That's the point.

We are sending a program to the server first

$db->prepare("SELECT * FROM users where id=?");

where the data is substituted by some variable called a parameter or a placeholder.

Note that exactly the same query is sent to the server, without any data in it! And then we're sending the data with the second request, essentially separated from the query itself:

$db->execute($data);

so it can't alter our program and do any harm.
Quite simple - isn't it?

The only thing I have to add that always omitted in the every manual:

Prepared statements can protect only data literals, but cannot be used with any other query part.
So, once we have to add, say, a dynamical identifier - a field name, for example - prepared statements can't help us. I've explained the matter recently, so I won't repeat myself.

Converting Symbols, Accent Letters to English Alphabet

Attempting to "convert them all" is the wrong approach to the problem.

Firstly, you need to understand the limitations of what you are trying to do. As others have pointed out, diacritics are there for a reason: they are essentially unique letters in the alphabet of that language with their own meaning / sound etc.: removing those marks is just the same as replacing random letters in an English word. This is before you even go onto consider the Cyrillic languages and other script based texts such as Arabic, which simply cannot be "converted" to English.

If you must, for whatever reason, convert characters, then the only sensible way to approach this it to firstly reduce the scope of the task at hand. Consider the source of the input - if you are coding an application for "the Western world" (to use as good a phrase as any), it would be unlikely that you would ever need to parse Arabic characters. Similarly, the Unicode character set contains hundreds of mathematical and pictorial symbols: there is no (easy) way for users to directly enter these, so you can assume they can be ignored.

By taking these logical steps you can reduce the number of possible characters to parse to the point where a dictionary based lookup / replace operation is feasible. It then becomes a small amount of slightly boring work creating the dictionaries, and a trivial task to perform the replacement. If your language supports native Unicode characters (as Java does) and optimises static structures correctly, such find and replaces tend to be blindingly quick.

This comes from experience of having worked on an application that was required to allow end users to search bibliographic data that included diacritic characters. The lookup arrays (as it was in our case) took perhaps 1 man day to produce, to cover all diacritic marks for all Western European languages.

Print values for multiple variables on the same line from within a for-loop

As an additional note, there is no need for the for loop because of R's vectorization.

This:

P <- 243.51
t <- 31 / 365
n <- 365

for (r in seq(0.15, 0.22, by = 0.01))    
     A <- P * ((1 + (r/ n))^ (n * t))
     interest <- A - P
}

is equivalent to:

P <- 243.51
t <- 31 / 365
n <- 365
r <- seq(0.15, 0.22, by = 0.01)
A <- P * ((1 + (r/ n))^ (n * t))
interest <- A - P

Because r is a vector, the expression above containing it is performed for all values of the vector.

Returning IEnumerable<T> vs. IQueryable<T>

I would like to clarify a few things due to seemingly conflicting responses (mostly surrounding IEnumerable).

(1) IQueryable extends the IEnumerable interface. (You can send an IQueryable to something which expects IEnumerable without error.)

(2) Both IQueryable and IEnumerable LINQ attempt lazy loading when iterating over the result set. (Note that implementation can be seen in interface extension methods for each type.)

In other words, IEnumerables are not exclusively "in-memory". IQueryables are not always executed on the database. IEnumerable must load things into memory (once retrieved, possibly lazily) because it has no abstract data provider. IQueryables rely on an abstract provider (like LINQ-to-SQL), although this could also be the .NET in-memory provider.

Sample use case

(a) Retrieve list of records as IQueryable from EF context. (No records are in-memory.)

(b) Pass the IQueryable to a view whose model is IEnumerable. (Valid. IQueryable extends IEnumerable.)

(c) Iterate over and access the data set's records, child entities and properties from the view. (May cause exceptions!)

Possible Issues

(1) The IEnumerable attempts lazy loading and your data context is expired. Exception thrown because provider is no longer available.

(2) Entity Framework entity proxies are enabled (the default), and you attempt to access a related (virtual) object with an expired data context. Same as (1).

(3) Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS). If you are iterating over the IEnumerable in a foreach( var record in resultSet ) block and simultaneously attempt to access record.childEntity.childProperty, you may end up with MARS due to lazy loading of both the data set and the relational entity. This will cause an exception if it is not enabled in your connection string.

Solution

  • I have found that enabling MARS in the connection string works unreliably. I suggest you avoid MARS unless it is well-understood and explicitly desired.

Execute the query and store results by invoking resultList = resultSet.ToList() This seems to be the most straightforward way of ensuring your entities are in-memory.

In cases where the you are accessing related entities, you may still require a data context. Either that, or you can disable entity proxies and explicitly Include related entities from your DbSet.

Combining INSERT INTO and WITH/CTE

Yep:

WITH tab (

)

INSERT INTO dbo.prf_BatchItemAdditionalAPartyNos (  BatchID,                                                        AccountNo,
APartyNo,
SourceRowID)    

SELECT * FROM tab

Note that this is for SQL Server, which supports multiple CTEs:

WITH x AS (), y AS () INSERT INTO z (a, b, c) SELECT a, b, c FROM y

Teradata allows only one CTE and the syntax is as your example.

How to switch between python 2.7 to python 3 from command line?

For Windows 7, I just rename the python.exe from the Python 3 folder to python3.exe and add the path into the environment variables. Using that, I can execute python test_script.py and the script runs with Python 2.7 and when I do python3 test_script.py, it runs the script in Python 3.

To add Python 3 to the environment variables, follow these steps -

  1. Right Click on My Computer and go to Properties.
  2. Go to Advanced System Settings.
  3. Click on Environment Variables and edit PATH and add the path to your Python 3 installation directory.

For example,

enter image description here

Finding partial text in range, return an index

I just found this when googling to solve the same problem, and had to make a minor change to the solution to make it work in my situation, as I had 2 similar substrings, "Sun" and "Sunstruck" to search for. The offered solution was locating the wrong entry when searching for "Sun". Data in column B

I added another column C, formulaes C1=" "&B1&" " and changed the search to =COUNTIF(B1:B10,"* "&A1&" *")>0, the extra column to allow finding the first of last entry in the concatenated string.

Linq to Entities - SQL "IN" clause

Single statement across multiple lines in VB.NET without the underscore character

Starting with VB.NET 10, implicit line continuation is supported for a number of syntax elements (see Statements in Visual Basic: Continuing a Statement over Multiple Lines). The concatenation operator (&) is in the list of syntax elements, that support implicit line continuation. Interspersed comments are supported as well, so your second example could be rewritten as:

dim createArticle as string = 
    "Create table article " &
    "    (articleID int " &           ' Comment for articleID
    "    ,articleName varchar(50) " & ' Comment for articleName
    "    )"

Implicit line continuation also works for query operators, with a few restrictions:

Before and after query operators (Aggregate, Distinct, From, Group By, Group Join, Join, Let, Order By, Select, Skip, Skip While, Take, Take While, Where, In, Into, On, Ascending, and Descending). You cannot break a line between the keywords of query operators that are made up of multiple keywords (Order By, Group Join, Take While, and Skip While).

Again, interspersed comments are allowed, so your first example can be rewritten as:

dim results = from a in articles
              where a.articleID = 4  ' articleID - now perfectly legal
              select a.articleName

Image picture = Image.FromFile(@"c:\temp\test.gif");

//Create an in-memory stream to hold the picture's bytes
System.IO.MemoryStream pictureAsStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
picture.Save(pictureAsStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);

//Rewind the stream back to the beginning
pictureAsStream.Position = 0;
//Get the stream as an array of bytes
byte[] pictureAsBytes = pictureAsStream.ToArray();

//Create an XmlTextWriter to write the XML somewhere... here, I just chose
//to stream out to the Console output stream
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);

//Write the root element of the XML document and the base64 encoded data
writer.WriteStartElement("w", "binData",
                         "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml");

writer.WriteBase64(pictureAsBytes, 0, pictureAsBytes.Length);

writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Flush();

I am not able launch JNLP applications using "Java Web Start"?

I was also facing the same problem. To fix this to the following steps.

  1. open Javaws from cmd runnig javaws -viewer command. A new window will open
  2. Select the jnlp file which you want and click the run button.
  3. Close the javaws viewer window.

Different ways of adding to Dictionary

The performance is almost a 100% identical. You can check this out by opening the class in Reflector.net

This is the This indexer:

public TValue this[TKey key]
{
    get
    {
        int index = this.FindEntry(key);
        if (index >= 0)
        {
            return this.entries[index].value;
        }
        ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException();
        return default(TValue);
    }
    set
    {
        this.Insert(key, value, false);
    }
}

And this is the Add method:

public void Add(TKey key, TValue value)
{
    this.Insert(key, value, true);
}

I won't post the entire Insert method as it's rather long, however the method declaration is this:

private void Insert(TKey key, TValue value, bool add)

And further down in the function, this happens:

if ((this.entries[i].hashCode == num) && this.comparer.Equals(this.entries[i].key, key))
{
    if (add)
    {
        ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource.Argument_AddingDuplicate);
    }

Which checks if the key already exists, and if it does and the parameter add is true, it throws the exception.

So for all purposes and intents the performance is the same.

Like a few other mentions, it's all about whether you need the check, for attempts at adding the same key twice.

Sorry for the lengthy post, I hope it's okay.

How to convert int to date in SQL Server 2008

You most likely want to examine the documentation for T-SQL's CAST and CONVERT functions, located in the documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms187928(v=SQL.90).aspx

You will then use one of those functions in your T-SQL query to convert the [idate] column from the database into the datetime format of your liking in the output.

How to create a file in Android?

From here: http://www.anddev.org/working_with_files-t115.html

//Writing a file...  



try { 
       // catches IOException below
       final String TESTSTRING = new String("Hello Android");

       /* We have to use the openFileOutput()-method
       * the ActivityContext provides, to
       * protect your file from others and
       * This is done for security-reasons.
       * We chose MODE_WORLD_READABLE, because
       *  we have nothing to hide in our file */             
       FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput("samplefile.txt",
                                                            MODE_PRIVATE);
       OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut); 

       // Write the string to the file
       osw.write(TESTSTRING);

       /* ensure that everything is
        * really written out and close */
       osw.flush();
       osw.close();

//Reading the file back...

       /* We have to use the openFileInput()-method

        FileInputStream fIn = openFileInput("samplefile.txt");
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fIn);

        /* Prepare a char-Array that will
         * hold the chars we read back in. */
        char[] inputBuffer = new char[TESTSTRING.length()];

        // Fill the Buffer with data from the file
        isr.read(inputBuffer);

        // Transform the chars to a String
        String readString = new String(inputBuffer);

        // Check if we read back the same chars that we had written out
        boolean isTheSame = TESTSTRING.equals(readString);

        Log.i("File Reading stuff", "success = " + isTheSame);

    } catch (IOException ioe) 
      {ioe.printStackTrace();}

Execute an action when an item on the combobox is selected

The simple solution would be to use a ItemListener. When the state changes, you would simply check the currently selected item and set the text accordingly

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;

public class TestComboBox06 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestComboBox06();
    }

    public TestComboBox06() {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
                } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
                } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }

                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                frame.add(new TestPane());
                frame.pack();
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }

        });
    }

    public class TestPane extends JPanel {

        private JComboBox cb;
        private JTextField field;

        public TestPane() {
            cb = new JComboBox(new String[]{"Item 1", "Item 2"});
            field = new JTextField(12);

            add(cb);
            add(field);

            cb.setSelectedItem(null);

            cb.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
                @Override
                public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                    Object item = cb.getSelectedItem();
                    if ("Item 1".equals(item)) {
                        field.setText("20");
                    } else if ("Item 2".equals(item)) {
                        field.setText("30");
                    }
                }
            });
        }

    }

}

A better solution would be to create a custom object that represents the value to be displayed and the value associated with it...

            super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
            if (value instanceof Item) {
                setText(((Item)value).getText());
            }
            return this;

Android Color Picker

You can use the following code, it will give you same look as http://code.google.com/p/color-picker-view/

AWS ssh access 'Permission denied (publickey)' issue

You need have your private key in your local machine

You need to know the IP address or DNS name of your remote machine or server, you can get this from AWS console

If you are a linux user

  • Make sure the permissions on the private key are 600 (chmod 600 <path to private key file>)
  • Connect to your machine using ssh (ssh -i <path to private key file> <user>@<IP address or DNS name of remote server>)

If you are a windows user

Raising a number to a power in Java

You should use below method-

Math.pow(double a, double b)

Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument.

HTTP Request in Kotlin

Without adding additional dependencies, this works. You don't need Volley for this. This works using the current version of Kotlin as of Dec 2018: Kotlin 1.3.10

If using Android Studio, you'll need to add this declaration in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

You should manually declare imports here. The auto-import tool caused me many conflicts.:

import android.os.AsyncTask
import java.io.BufferedReader
import java.io.InputStreamReader
import java.io.OutputStream
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter
import java.net.URL
import java.net.URLEncoder
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection

You can't perform network requests on a background thread. You must subclass AsyncTask.

To call the method:

NetworkTask().execute(requestURL, queryString)

Declaration:

private class NetworkTask : AsyncTask<String, Int, Long>() {
    override fun doInBackground(vararg parts: String): Long? {
        val requestURL = parts.first()
        val queryString = parts.last()

        // Set up request
        val connection: HttpsURLConnection = URL(requestURL).openConnection() as HttpsURLConnection
        // Default is GET so you must override this for post
        connection.requestMethod = "POST"
        // To send a post body, output must be true
        connection.doOutput = true
        // Create the stream
        val outputStream: OutputStream = connection.outputStream
        // Create a writer container to pass the output over the stream
        val outputWriter = OutputStreamWriter(outputStream)
        // Add the string to the writer container
        outputWriter.write(queryString)
        // Send the data
        outputWriter.flush()

        // Create an input stream to read the response
        val inputStream = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(connection.inputStream)).use {
            // Container for input stream data
            val response = StringBuffer()
            var inputLine = it.readLine()
            // Add each line to the response container
            while (inputLine != null) {
                response.append(inputLine)
                inputLine = it.readLine()
            }
            it.close()
            // TODO: Add main thread callback to parse response
            println(">>>> Response: $response")
        }
        connection.disconnect()

        return 0
    }

    protected fun onProgressUpdate(vararg progress: Int) {
    }

    override fun onPostExecute(result: Long?) {

What is the unix command to see how much disk space there is and how much is remaining?

Note: The original question was answered already, but I would just like to expand on it with some extras that are relevant to the topic.

Your AIX installation would first be put into volume groups. This is done upon installation.

It will first create rootvg (as in root volume group). This is kinda like your actual hard drive mapped.

This would be equivalent to Disc Management in Windows. AIX wont use up all of that space for its file systems like we tend to do it in consumer Windows machines. Instead there will be a good bit of unallocated space.

To check how much space your rootvg would have you use the following command.

lsvg rootvg

That would stand for list volume group rootvg. This will give you information like the size of physical partitions (PP), Total PPs assigned to the volume group, Free PPs in the volume group, etc. Regardless, the output should be fairly comprehensive.

Next thing you may be interested in, is the file systems on the volume group. Each file system would have certain amount of space given within the volume group it belongs to.

To check what file systems you got on your volume group you use the following command.

lsvgfs rootvg

As in list volume group file systems for rootvg.

You can check how much space each file system has using the following command.

df

I personally like to refine it with flags like -m and -g (in megabytes and gigabytes respectively)

If you have free space available in your volume group, you can assign it to your file systems using the following command.

chfs -a size=+1G /home

As in change file system attribute size by adding 1 G where file system is /home. use man chfs for more instructions. This is a powerful tool. This example is for adjusting size, however you can do more with this command than that.

Sources: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-rootvg/ + My own experience working with AIX.

Can Console.Clear be used to only clear a line instead of whole console?

public static void ClearLine(int lines = 1)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= lines; i++)
    {
        Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop - 1);
        Console.Write(new string(' ', Console.WindowWidth));
        Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop - 1);
    }
}

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

The options for popen can be used in call

args, 
bufsize=0, 
executable=None, 
stdin=None, 
stdout=None, 
stderr=None, 
preexec_fn=None, 
close_fds=False, 
shell=False, 
cwd=None, 
env=None, 
universal_newlines=False, 
startupinfo=None, 
creationflags=0

So...

subprocess.call(["/home/myuser/run.sh", "/tmp/ad_xml",  "/tmp/video_xml"], stdout=myoutput)

Then you can do what you want with myoutput (which would need to be a file btw).

Also, you can do something closer to a piped output like this.

dmesg | grep hda

would be:

p1 = Popen(["dmesg"], stdout=PIPE)
p2 = Popen(["grep", "hda"], stdin=p1.stdout, stdout=PIPE)
output = p2.communicate()[0]

There's plenty of lovely, useful info on the python manual page.

How to terminate a thread when main program ends?

Check this question. The correct answer has great explanation on how to terminate threads the right way: Is there any way to kill a Thread in Python?

To make the thread stop on Keyboard Interrupt signal (ctrl+c) you can catch the exception "KeyboardInterrupt" and cleanup before exiting. Like this:

try:
    start_thread()  
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
    cleanup_stop_thread()
    sys.exit()

This way you can control what to do whenever the program is abruptly terminated.

You can also use the built-in signal module that lets you setup signal handlers (in your specific case the SIGINT signal): http://docs.python.org/library/signal.html

In STL maps, is it better to use map::insert than []?

Here's another example, showing that operator[] overwrites the value for the key if it exists, but .insert does not overwrite the value if it exists.

void mapTest()
{
  map<int,float> m;


  for( int i = 0 ; i  <=  2 ; i++ )
  {
    pair<map<int,float>::iterator,bool> result = m.insert( make_pair( 5, (float)i ) ) ;

    if( result.second )
      printf( "%d=>value %f successfully inserted as brand new value\n", result.first->first, result.first->second ) ;
    else
      printf( "! The map already contained %d=>value %f, nothing changed\n", result.first->first, result.first->second ) ;
  }

  puts( "All map values:" ) ;
  for( map<int,float>::iterator iter = m.begin() ; iter !=m.end() ; ++iter )
    printf( "%d=>%f\n", iter->first, iter->second ) ;

  /// now watch this.. 
  m[5]=900.f ; //using operator[] OVERWRITES map values
  puts( "All map values:" ) ;
  for( map<int,float>::iterator iter = m.begin() ; iter !=m.end() ; ++iter )
    printf( "%d=>%f\n", iter->first, iter->second ) ;

}

Finding row index containing maximum value using R

How about the following, where y is the name of your matrix and you are looking for the maximum in the entire matrix:

row(y)[y==max(y)]

if you want to extract the row:

y[row(y)[y==max(y)],] # this returns unsorted rows.

To return sorted rows use:

y[sort(row(y)[y==max(y)]),]

The advantage of this approach is that you can change the conditional inside to anything you need. Also, using col(y) and location of the hanging comma you can also extract columns.

y[,col(y)[y==max(y)]]

To find just the row for the max in a particular column, say column 2 you could use:

seq(along=y[,2])[y[,2]==max(y[,2])]

again the conditional is flexible to look for different requirements.

See Phil Spector's excellent "An introduction to S and S-Plus" Chapter 5 for additional ideas.

Bootstrap NavBar with left, center or right aligned items

Bootstrap 4 (as of alpha 6)

Navbars are built with flexbox! Instead of floats, you’ll need flexbox and margin utilities.

For Align Right use justify-content-end on the collapse div:

<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end">
  <ul class="navbar-nav">
    <li class="nav-item active">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

How are ssl certificates verified?

The client has a pre-seeded store of SSL certificate authorities' public keys. There must be a chain of trust from the certificate for the server up through intermediate authorities up to one of the so-called "root" certificates in order for the server to be trusted.

You can examine and/or alter the list of trusted authorities. Often you do this to add a certificate for a local authority that you know you trust - like the company you work for or the school you attend or what not.

The pre-seeded list can vary depending on which client you use. The big SSL certificate vendors insure that their root certs are in all the major browsers ($$$).

Monkey-in-the-middle attacks are "impossible" unless the attacker has the private key of a trusted root certificate. Since the corresponding certificates are widely deployed, the exposure of such a private key would have serious implications for the security of eCommerce generally. Because of that, those private keys are very, very closely guarded.

How to create a WPF Window without a border that can be resized via a grip only?

While the accepted answer is very true, just want to point out that AllowTransparency has some downfalls. It does not allow child window controls to show up, ie WebBrowser, and it usually forces software rendering which can have negative performance effects.

There is a better work around though.

When you want to create a window with no border that is resizeable and is able to host a WebBrowser control or a Frame control pointed to a URL you simply couldn't, the contents of said control would show empty.

I found a workaround though; in the Window, if you set the WindowStyle to None, ResizeMode to NoResize (bear with me, you will still be able to resize once done) then make sure you have UNCHECKED AllowsTransparency you will have a static sized window with no border and will show the browser control.

Now, you probably still want to be able to resize right? Well we can to that with a interop call:

    [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

    [DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
    public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();

    //Attach this to the MouseDown event of your drag control to move the window in place of the title bar
    private void WindowDrag(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) // MouseDown
    {
        ReleaseCapture();
        SendMessage(new WindowInteropHelper(this).Handle,
            0xA1, (IntPtr)0x2, (IntPtr)0);
    }

    //Attach this to the PreviewMousLeftButtonDown event of the grip control in the lower right corner of the form to resize the window
    private void WindowResize(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) //PreviewMousLeftButtonDown
    {
        HwndSource hwndSource = PresentationSource.FromVisual((Visual)sender) as HwndSource;
        SendMessage(hwndSource.Handle, 0x112, (IntPtr)61448, IntPtr.Zero);
    }

And voila, A WPF window with no border and still movable and resizable without losing compatibility with with controls like WebBrowser

Showing the stack trace from a running Python application

What really helped me here is spiv's tip (which I would vote up and comment on if I had the reputation points) for getting a stack trace out of an unprepared Python process. Except it didn't work until I modified the gdbinit script. So:

  • download http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Misc/gdbinit and put it in ~/.gdbinit

  • edit it, changing PyEval_EvalFrame to PyEval_EvalFrameEx [edit: no longer needed; the linked file already has this change as of 2010-01-14]

  • Attach gdb: gdb -p PID

  • Get the python stack trace: pystack

Alphabet range in Python

This is the easiest way I can figure out:

#!/usr/bin/python3
for i in range(97, 123):
    print("{:c}".format(i), end='')

So, 97 to 122 are the ASCII number equivalent to 'a' to and 'z'. Notice the lowercase and the need to put 123, since it will not be included).

In print function make sure to set the {:c} (character) format, and, in this case, we want it to print it all together not even letting a new line at the end, so end=''would do the job.

The result is this: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

How to add a jar in External Libraries in android studio

Example with Parse jar...

Add jars to libs folder from Project view … create lib folder if not exists

enter image description here

Copy all jars there...

Add libs to gradle.... in build.gradle file :

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:percent:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar’)
}

For add all jars of lib folder... change Parse-*.jar to *.jar

How can one see content of stack with GDB?

You need to use gdb's memory-display commands. The basic one is x, for examine. There's an example on the linked-to page that uses

gdb> x/4xw $sp

to print "four words (w ) of memory above the stack pointer (here, $sp) in hexadecimal (x)". The quotation is slightly paraphrased.

Do conditional INSERT with SQL?

I dont know about SmallSQL, but this works for MSSQL:

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Column1='SomeValue')
    UPDATE Table1 SET (...) WHERE Column1='SomeValue'
ELSE
    INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (...)

Based on the where-condition, this updates the row if it exists, else it will insert a new one.

I hope that's what you were looking for.

How to get the CPU Usage in C#?

This seems to work for me, an example for waiting until the processor reaches a certain percentage

var cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total");
int usage = (int) cpuCounter.NextValue();
while (usage == 0 || usage > 80)
{
     Thread.Sleep(250);
     usage = (int)cpuCounter.NextValue();
}

How to pass objects to functions in C++?

There are three methods of passing an object to a function as a parameter:

  1. Pass by reference
  2. pass by value
  3. adding constant in parameter

Go through the following example:

class Sample
{
public:
    int *ptr;
    int mVar;

    Sample(int i)
    {
        mVar = 4;
        ptr = new int(i);
    }

    ~Sample()
    {
        delete ptr;
    }

    void PrintVal()
    {
        cout << "The value of the pointer is " << *ptr << endl
             << "The value of the variable is " << mVar;
   }
};

void SomeFunc(Sample x)
{
cout << "Say i am in someFunc " << endl;
}


int main()
{

  Sample s1= 10;
  SomeFunc(s1);
  s1.PrintVal();
  char ch;
  cin >> ch;
}

Output:

Say i am in someFunc
The value of the pointer is -17891602
The value of the variable is 4

When should iteritems() be used instead of items()?

As the dictionary documentation for python 2 and python 3 would tell you, in python 2 items returns a list, while iteritems returns a iterator.

In python 3, items returns a view, which is pretty much the same as an iterator.

If you are using python 2, you may want to user iteritems if you are dealing with large dictionaries and all you want to do is iterate over the items (not necessarily copy them to a list)

CSS "color" vs. "font-color"

I know this is an old post but as MisterZimbu stated, the color property is defining the values of other properties, as the border-color and, with CSS3, of currentColor.

currentColor is very handy if you want to use the font color for other elements (as the background or custom checkboxes and radios of inner elements for example).

Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.element {_x000D_
  color: green;_x000D_
  background: red;_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
  height: 200px;_x000D_
  padding: 0;_x000D_
  margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.innerElement1 {_x000D_
  border: solid 10px;_x000D_
  display: inline-block;_x000D_
  width: 60px;_x000D_
  height: 100px;_x000D_
  margin: 10px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.innerElement2 {_x000D_
  background: currentColor;_x000D_
  display: inline-block;_x000D_
  width: 60px;_x000D_
  height: 100px;_x000D_
  margin: 10px;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="element">_x000D_
  <div class="innerElement1"></div>_x000D_
  <div class="innerElement2"></div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_

How to label scatterplot points by name?

Another convoluted answer which should technically work and is ok for a small number of data points is to plot all your data points as 1 series in order to get your connecting line. Then plot each point as its own series. Then format data labels to display series name for each of the individual data points.

In short it works ok for a small data set or just key points from a data set.

Animate a custom Dialog

I've been struggling with Dialog animation today, finally got it working using styles, so here is an example.

To start with, the most important thing — I probably had it working 5 different ways today but couldn't tell because... If your devices animation settings are set to "No Animations" (Settings ? Display ? Animation) then the dialogs won't be animated no matter what you do!

The following is a stripped down version of my styles.xml. Hopefully it is self-explanatory. This should be located in res/values.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="PauseDialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
        <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/PauseDialogAnimation</item>
    </style>

    <style name="PauseDialogAnimation">
        <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/spin_in</item>
        <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@android:anim/slide_out_right</item>
    </style>
</resources>

The windowEnterAnimation is one of my animations and is located in res\anim. The windowExitAnimation is one of the animations that is part of the Android SDK.

Then when I create the Dialog in my activities onCreateDialog(int id) method I do the following.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this, R.style.PauseDialog);

// Setting the title and layout for the dialog
dialog.setTitle(R.string.pause_menu_label);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.pause_menu);

Alternatively you could set the animations the following way instead of using the Dialog constructor that takes a theme.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.PauseDialogAnimation;

Re-sign IPA (iPhone)

If your APP is built using Flutter tools, please examine the codesign info for all pod extensions:

codesign -d --verbose=4 Runner.app/Frameworks/xxx.framework |& grep 'Authority='

The result should be the name of your team.

Run the shell script below to codesign all extensions:

IDENTITY=<prefix of Team ID number>
ENTITLEMENTS=<entitlements.plist>
find Payload/Runner.app -type d -name '*framework' | xargs -I '{}' codesign -s $IDENTITY -f --entitlements $ENTITLEMENTS {} 

And finally don't forget to codesign the Runner.app itself

PHP str_replace replace spaces with underscores

For one matched character replace, use str_replace:

$string = str_replace(' ', '_', $string);

For all matched character replace, use preg_replace:

$string = preg_replace('/\s+/', '_', $string);

Using Razor within JavaScript

That will work fine, as long as it's in a CSHTML page and not an external JavaScript file.

The Razor template engine doesn't care what it's outputting and does not differentiate between <script> or other tags.

However, you need to encode your strings to prevent XSS attacks.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/HttpClient

How to declare a Fixed length Array in TypeScript

The javascript array has a constructor that accepts the length of the array:

let arr = new Array<number>(3);
console.log(arr); // [undefined × 3]

However, this is just the initial size, there's no restriction on changing that:

arr.push(5);
console.log(arr); // [undefined × 3, 5]

Typescript has tuple types which let you define an array with a specific length and types:

let arr: [number, number, number];

arr = [1, 2, 3]; // ok
arr = [1, 2]; // Type '[number, number]' is not assignable to type '[number, number, number]'
arr = [1, 2, "3"]; // Type '[number, number, string]' is not assignable to type '[number, number, number]'

Python : List of dict, if exists increment a dict value, if not append a new dict

To do it exactly your way? You could use the for...else structure

for url in list_of_urls:
    for url_dict in urls:
        if url_dict['url'] == url:
            url_dict['nbr'] += 1
            break
    else:
        urls.append(dict(url=url, nbr=1))

But it is quite inelegant. Do you really have to store the visited urls as a LIST? If you sort it as a dict, indexed by url string, for example, it would be way cleaner:

urls = {'http://www.google.fr/': dict(url='http://www.google.fr/', nbr=1)}

for url in list_of_urls:
    if url in urls:
        urls[url]['nbr'] += 1
    else:
        urls[url] = dict(url=url, nbr=1)

A few things to note in that second example:

  • see how using a dict for urls removes the need for going through the whole urls list when testing for one single url. This approach will be faster.
  • Using dict( ) instead of braces makes your code shorter
  • using list_of_urls, urls and url as variable names make the code quite hard to parse. It's better to find something clearer, such as urls_to_visit, urls_already_visited and current_url. I know, it's longer. But it's clearer.

And of course I'm assuming that dict(url='http://www.google.fr', nbr=1) is a simplification of your own data structure, because otherwise, urls could simply be:

urls = {'http://www.google.fr':1}

for url in list_of_urls:
    if url in urls:
        urls[url] += 1
    else:
        urls[url] = 1

Which can get very elegant with the defaultdict stance:

urls = collections.defaultdict(int)
for url in list_of_urls:
    urls[url] += 1

How can I install Apache Ant on Mac OS X?

Use Brew is always good way to install ANT and other needs. To install type below command on terminal.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

after Brew installation , type

brew install ant

This will install Ant on your system. Also you will not need to worry about setting up the path.

Also i have documented on the same - How to Install ANT on Mac OS?

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

I am getting similar errors recently because recent JDKs (and browsers, and the Linux TLS stack, etc.) refuse to communicate with some servers in my customer's corporate network. The reason of this is that some servers in this network still have SHA-1 certificates.

Please see: https://www.entrust.com/understanding-sha-1-vulnerabilities-ssl-longer-secure/ https://blog.qualys.com/ssllabs/2014/09/09/sha1-deprecation-what-you-need-to-know

If this would be your current case (recent JDK vs deprecated certificate encription) then your best move is to update your network to the proper encription technology.

In case that you should provide a temporal solution for that, please see another answers to have an idea about how to make your JDK trust or distrust certain encription algorithms:

How to force java server to accept only tls 1.2 and reject tls 1.0 and tls 1.1 connections

Anyway I insist that, in case that I have guessed properly your problem, this is not a good solution to the problem and that your network admin should consider removing these deprecated certificates and get a new one.

Change an image with onclick()

You can try something like this:

CSS

div {
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
    background: url(img1.png) center center no-repeat;
}

.visited {
    background: url(img2.png) center center no-repeat;
}

HTML

<div href="#" onclick="this.className='visited'">
    <p>Content</p>
</div>

'printf' with leading zeros in C

Your format specifier is incorrect. From the printf() man page on my machine:

0 A zero '0' character indicating that zero-padding should be used rather than blank-padding. A '-' overrides a '0' if both are used;

Field Width: An optional digit string specifying a field width; if the output string has fewer characters than the field width it will be blank-padded on the left (or right, if the left-adjustment indicator has been given) to make up the field width (note that a leading zero is a flag, but an embedded zero is part of a field width);

Precision: An optional period, '.', followed by an optional digit string giving a precision which specifies the number of digits to appear after the decimal point, for e and f formats, or the maximum number of characters to be printed from a string; if the digit string is missing, the precision is treated as zero;

For your case, your format would be %09.3f:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("%09.3f\n", 4917.24);
  return 0;
}

Output:

$ make testapp
cc     testapp.c   -o testapp
$ ./testapp 
04917.240

Note that this answer is conditional on your embedded system having a printf() implementation that is standard-compliant for these details - many embedded environments do not have such an implementation.

AngularJS: Basic example to use authentication in Single Page Application

In angularjs you can create the UI part, service, Directives and all the part of angularjs which represent the UI. It is nice technology to work on.

As any one who new into this technology and want to authenticate the "User" then i suggest to do it with the power of c# web api. for that you can use the OAuth specification which will help you to built a strong security mechanism to authenticate the user. once you build the WebApi with OAuth you need to call that api for token:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var _login = function (loginData) {_x000D_
 _x000D_
        var data = "grant_type=password&username=" + loginData.userName + "&password=" + loginData.password;_x000D_
 _x000D_
        var deferred = $q.defer();_x000D_
 _x000D_
        $http.post(serviceBase + 'token', data, { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } }).success(function (response) {_x000D_
 _x000D_
            localStorageService.set('authorizationData', { token: response.access_token, userName: loginData.userName });_x000D_
 _x000D_
            _authentication.isAuth = true;_x000D_
            _authentication.userName = loginData.userName;_x000D_
 _x000D_
            deferred.resolve(response);_x000D_
 _x000D_
        }).error(function (err, status) {_x000D_
            _logOut();_x000D_
            deferred.reject(err);_x000D_
        });_x000D_
 _x000D_
        return deferred.promise;_x000D_
 _x000D_
    };_x000D_
 
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

and once you get the token then you request the resources from angularjs with the help of Token and access the resource which kept secure in web Api with OAuth specification.

Get list from pandas DataFrame column headers

If the DataFrame happens to have an Index or MultiIndex and you want those included as column names too:

names = list(filter(None, df.index.names + df.columns.values.tolist()))

It avoids calling reset_index() which has an unnecessary performance hit for such a simple operation.

I've run into needing this more often because I'm shuttling data from databases where the dataframe index maps to a primary/unique key, but is really just another "column" to me. It would probably make sense for pandas to have a built-in method for something like this (totally possible I've missed it).

Get DOM content of cross-domain iframe

There is a simple way.

  1. You create an iframe which have for source something like "http://your-domain.com/index.php?url=http://the-site-you-want-to-get.com/unicorn

  2. Then, you just get this url with $_GET and display the contents with file_get_contents($_GET['url']);

You will obtain an iframe which has a domain same than yours, then you will be able to use the $("iframe").contents().find("body") to manipulate the content.

Maven 3 Archetype for Project With Spring, Spring MVC, Hibernate, JPA

Possible duplicate: Is there a maven 2 archetype for spring 3 MVC applications?

That said, I would encourage you to think about making your own archetype. The reason is, no matter what you end up getting from someone else's, you can do better in not that much time, and a decent sized Java project is going to end up making a lot of jar projects.

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

I tried the above answer - using page.html#ID_name it gave me a 404 page doesn't exist error.

Then instead of using .html, I simply put a slash / before the # and that worked fine. So my example on the sending page between the link tags looks like:

<a href= "http://my website.com/target-page/#El_Chorro">El Chorro</a>

Just use / instead of .html.

Is it possible to declare two variables of different types in a for loop?

Not possible, but you can do:

float f;
int i;
for (i = 0,f = 0.0; i < 5; i++)
{
  //...
}

Or, explicitly limit the scope of f and i using additional brackets:

{
    float f; 
    int i;
    for (i = 0,f = 0.0; i < 5; i++)
    {
       //...
    }
}

Curl: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK

07 April 2006

When opening a secure url with Curl you may get the following error:

SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK

I will explain why the error and what you should do about it.

The easiest way of getting rid of the error would be adding the following two lines to your script . This solution poses a security risk tho.

//WARNING: this would prevent curl from detecting a 'man in the middle' attack
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); 

Let see what this two parameters do. Quoting the manual.

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST: 1 to check the existence of a common name in the SSL peer certificate. 2 to check the existence of a common name and also verify that it matches the hostname provided.

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER: FALSE to stop CURL from verifying the peer's certificate. Alternate certificates to verify against can be specified with the CURLOPT_CAINFO option or a certificate directory can be specified with the CURLOPT_CAPATH option. CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST may also need to be TRUE or FALSE if CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is disabled (it defaults to 2). Setting CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to 2 (This is the default value) will garantee that the certificate being presented to you have a 'common name' matching the URN you are using to access the remote resource. This is a healthy check but it doesn't guarantee your program is not being decieved.

Enter the 'man in the middle'

Your program could be misleaded into talking to another server instead. This can be achieved through several mechanisms, like dns or arp poisoning ( This is a story for another day). The intruder can also self-sign a certificate with the same 'comon name' your program is expecting. The communication would still be encrypted but you would be giving away your secrets to an impostor. This kind of attack is called 'man in the middle'

Defeating the 'man in the middle'

Well, we need to to verify the certificate being presented to us is good for real. We do this by comparing it against a certificate we reasonable* trust.

If the remote resource is protected by a certificate issued by one of the main CA's like Verisign, GeoTrust et al, you can safely compare against Mozilla's CA certificate bundle which you can get from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

Save the file cacert.pem somewhere in your server and set the following options in your script.

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "pathto/cacert.pem");

jQuery document.createElement equivalent?

Though this is a very old question, I thought it would be nice to update it with recent information;

Since jQuery 1.8 there is a jQuery.parseHTML() function which is now a preferred way of creating elements. Also, there are some issues with parsing HTML via $('(html code goes here)'), fo example official jQuery website mentions the following in one of their release notes:

Relaxed HTML parsing: You can once again have leading spaces or newlines before tags in $(htmlString). We still strongly advise that you use $.parseHTML() when parsing HTML obtained from external sources, and may be making further changes to HTML parsing in the future.

To relate to the actual question, provided example could be translated to:

this.$OuterDiv = $($.parseHTML('<div></div>'))
    .hide()
    .append($($.parseHTML('<table></table>'))
        .attr({ cellSpacing : 0 })
        .addClass("text")
    )
;

which is unfortunately less convenient than using just $(), but it gives you more control, for example you may choose to exclude script tags (it will leave inline scripts like onclick though):

> $.parseHTML('<div onclick="a"></div><script></script>')
[<div onclick=?"a">?</div>?]

> $.parseHTML('<div onclick="a"></div><script></script>', document, true)
[<div onclick=?"a">?</div>?, <script>?</script>?]

Also, here's a benchmark from the top answer adjusted to the new reality:

JSbin Link

jQuery 1.9.1

  $.parseHTML:    88ms
  $($.parseHTML): 240ms
  <div></div>:    138ms
  <div>:          143ms
  createElement:  64ms

It looks like parseHTML is much closer to createElement than $(), but all the boost is gone after wrapping the results in a new jQuery object

Laravel - htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given.

thank me latter.........................

when you send or get array from contrller or function but try to print as single value or single variable in laravel blade file so it throws an error

->use any think who convert array into string it work.

solution: 1)run the foreach loop and get single single value and print. 2)The implode() function returns a string from the elements of an array. {{ implode($your_variable,',') }}

implode is best way to do it and its 100% work.

This solves my problem too. It just logs in automatically.

PageSpeed Insights 99/100 because of Google Analytics - How can I cache GA?

Depending on your use of Google Analytics data, if you want basic information (such as visits, UI interactions) you might be able to not include analytics.js at all, yet still collect data in GA.

One option may be to instead use the measurement protocol in a cached script. Google Analytics: Measurement Protocol Overview

When you set the transport method explicitly to image, you can see how GA constructs its own image beacons.

ga('set', 'transport', 'image');

https://www.google-analytics.com/r/collect
  ?v={protocol-version}
  &tid={tracking-id}
  &cid={client-id}
  &t={hit-type}
  &dl={location}

You could create your own GET or POST requests with the required payload.

However, if you require a greater level of detail it probably won't be worth your effort.

Using ListView : How to add a header view?

You can add as many headers as you like by calling addHeaderView() multiple times. You have to do it before setting the adapter to the list view.

And yes you can add header something like this way:

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, myListView, false);
myListView.addHeaderView(header, null, false);

destination path already exists and is not an empty directory

This just means that the git clone copied the files down from github and placed them into a folder. If you try to do it again it will not let you because it can't clone into a folder that has files into it. So if you think the git clone did not complete properly, just delete the folder and do the git clone again. The clone creates a folder the same name as the git repo.

How to frame two for loops in list comprehension python

The best way to remember this is that the order of for loop inside the list comprehension is based on the order in which they appear in traditional loop approach. Outer most loop comes first, and then the inner loops subsequently.

So, the equivalent list comprehension would be:

[entry for tag in tags for entry in entries if tag in entry]

In general, if-else statement comes before the first for loop, and if you have just an if statement, it will come at the end. For e.g, if you would like to add an empty list, if tag is not in entry, you would do it like this:

[entry if tag in entry else [] for tag in tags for entry in entries]

How do CORS and Access-Control-Allow-Headers work?

Yes, you need to have the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://domain.com:3000 or Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on both the OPTIONS response and the POST response. You should include the header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true on the POST response as well.

Your OPTIONS response should also include the header Access-Control-Allow-Headers: origin, content-type, accept to match the requested header.

How to test web service using command line curl

In addition to existing answers it is often desired to format the REST output (typically JSON and XML lacks indentation). Try this:

$ curl https://api.twitter.com/1/help/configuration.xml  | xmllint --format -
$ curl https://api.twitter.com/1/help/configuration.json | python -mjson.tool

Tested on Ubuntu 11.0.4/11.10.

Another issue is the desired content type. Twitter uses .xml/.json extension, but more idiomatic REST would require Accept header:

$ curl -H "Accept: application/json"

Sometimes it is not eligible to set height to pixel values. However, it is possible to show vertical scrollbar through setting height of div to 100% and overflow to auto.

Let me show an example:

<div id="content" style="height: 100%; overflow: auto">
  <p>some text</p>
  <ul>
    <li>text</li>
    .....
    <li>text</li>
</div>

How to change the Spyder editor background to dark?

For Spyder 2.3 which is still installed via apt-get on linux, you change the theme via

Tools > Preferences > Editor > Syntax Color 

The

Tools > Preferences > Syntax Coloring

only shows options for adjusting the different themes, but not actually applying a different theme. Spyder 3.x uses the second option via Syntax Color.

When to use If-else if-else over switch statements and vice versa

I have often thought that using elseif and dropping through case instances (where the language permits) are code odours, if not smells.

For myself, I have normally found that nested (if/then/else)s usually reflect things better than elseifs, and that for mutually exclusive cases (often where one combination of attributes takes precedence over another), case or something similar is clearer to read two years later.

I think the select statement used by Rexx is a particularly good example of how to do "Case" well (no drop-throughs) (silly example):

Select
    When (Vehicle ¬= "Car") Then
        Name = "Red Bus"
    When (Colour == "Red") Then
        Name = "Ferrari"
    Otherwise
        Name = "Plain old other car"
    End

Oh, and if the optimisation isn't up to it, get a new compiler or language...

Post order traversal of binary tree without recursion

This is what I've come up for post order iterator:

    class PostOrderIterator
    implements Iterator<T> {

        private Stack<Node<T>> stack;
        private Node<T> prev;

        PostOrderIterator(Node<T> root) {
            this.stack = new Stack<>();
            recurse(root);
            this.prev = this.stack.peek();
        }

        private void recurse(Node<T> node) {
            if(node == null) {
                return;
            }

            while(node != null) {
                stack.push(node);
                node = node.left;
            }
            recurse(stack.peek().right);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean hasNext() {
            return !stack.isEmpty();
        }

        @Override
        public T next() {
            if(stack.peek().right != this.prev) {
                recurse(stack.peek().right);
            }

            Node<T> next = stack.pop();
            this.prev = next;
            return next.value;
        }
    }

Basically, the main idea is that you should think how the initialization process puts the first item to print on the top of the stack, while the rest of the stack follow the nodes that would have been touched by the recursion. The rest would just then become a lot easier to nail.

Also, from design perspective, PostOrderIterator is an internal class exposed via some factory method of the tree class as an Iterator<T>.

How can I adjust DIV width to contents

Try width: max-content to adjust the width of the div by it's content.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div.ex1 {
  width:500px;
  margin: auto;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}

div.ex2 {
  width: max-content;
  margin: auto;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="ex1">This div element has width 500px;</div>
<br>
<div class="ex2">Width by content size</div>

</body>
</html>

How to center a View inside of an Android Layout?

Programmatically get own phone number in iOS

At the risk of getting negative marks, I want to suggest that the highest ranking solution (currently the first response) violates the latest SDK Agreement as of Nov 5, 2009. Our application was just rejected for using it. Here's the response from Apple:

"For security reasons, iPhone OS restricts an application (including its preferences and data) to a unique location in the file system. This restriction is part of the security feature known as the application's "sandbox." The sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls limiting an application's access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware, and so on."

The device's phone number is not available within your application's container. You will need to revise your application to read only within your directory container and resubmit your binary to iTunes Connect in order for your application to be reconsidered for the App Store.

This was a real disappointment since we wanted to spare the user having to enter their own phone number.

Bootstrap-select - how to fire event on change

When Bootstrap Select initializes, it'll build a set of custom divs that run alongside the original <select> element and will typically synchronize state between the two input mechanisms.

BS Select Elements

Which is to say that one way to handle events on bootstrap select is to listen for events on the original select that it modifies, regardless of who updated it.

Solution 1 - Native Events

Just listen for a change event and get the selected value using javascript or jQuery like this:

$('select').on('change', function(e){
  console.log(this.value,
              this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,
              $(this).find("option:selected").val(),);
});

*NOTE: As with any script reliant on the DOM, make sure you wait for the DOM ready event before executing

Demo in Stack Snippets:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$(function() {_x000D_
_x000D_
  $('select').on('change', function(e){_x000D_
    console.log(this.value,_x000D_
                this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,_x000D_
                $(this).find("option:selected").val(),);_x000D_
  });_x000D_
  _x000D_
});

  <option val="Must"> Mustard </option>_x000D_
  <option val="Cat" > Ketchup </option>_x000D_
  <option val="Rel" > Relish  </option>_x000D_
</select>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Solution 2 - Bootstrap Select Custom Events

As this answer alludes, Bootstrap Select has their own set of custom events, including changed.bs.select which:

fires after the select's value has been changed. It passes through event, clickedIndex, newValue, oldValue.

And you can use that like this:

$("select").on("changed.bs.select", 
      function(e, clickedIndex, newValue, oldValue) {
    console.log(this.value, clickedIndex, newValue, oldValue)
});

Demo in Stack Snippets:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$(function() {_x000D_
_x000D_
  $("select").on("changed.bs.select", _x000D_
        function(e, clickedIndex, newValue, oldValue) {_x000D_
      console.log(this.value, clickedIndex, newValue, oldValue)_x000D_
  });_x000D_
_x000D_
});

Python logging: use milliseconds in time format

If you prefer to use style='{', fmt="{asctime}.{msecs:0<3.0f}" will 0-pad your microseconds to three places for consistency.

MySQL select query with multiple conditions

You have conditions that are mutually exclusive - if meta_key is 'first_name', it can't also be 'yearofpassing'. Most likely you need your AND's to be OR's:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT user_id FROM wp_usermeta 
WHERE (meta_key = 'first_name' AND meta_value = '$us_name') 
OR (meta_key = 'yearofpassing' AND meta_value = '$us_yearselect') 
OR (meta_key = 'u_city' AND meta_value = '$us_reg') 
OR (meta_key = 'us_course' AND meta_value = '$us_course')")

How do I debug Node.js applications?

Enable VS Code preference Auto Attach from File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Search for Auto Attach and set it On, open the console (ctrl + *) or from the menu Terminal -> New Terminal, set a breakpoint in your code, type in the command

node --inspect <name of your file>

This will start the debugging and the VS Code will show the Debug menu.

Note: Auto Attach is also very helpful if you are working with node cluster worker threads.

Safe width in pixels for printing web pages?

For printing I don't set any width and remove any obstacles which keep your print layout from having a dynamic width. Meaning if you make your browser window smaller and smaller, no content is cut/hidden but the document just gets longer. Like this, you can be sure that the rest will be handled by the printer/pdf-creator.

What about elements with a fixed width such as images or tables?

Images

Options I can think of:

  • scale images down in your print CSS to a width which you can assume will fit in any case, use pt not px (but print will need more points/unit anyways, so this should hardly be a problem)
  • exclude from being printed

Tables

  • remove the fixed width
  • use landscape if you really have tables with loads of information
  • don't use tables for layout purposes
  • exclude from being printed
  • extract content, print it as paragraphs

or any other google result for combinations of: CSS, print, media, layout

Why does my sorting loop seem to append an element where it shouldn't?

" Hello " , " This " , "is ", "Sorting ", "Example"

First of all you provided spaces in " Hello " and " This ", spaces have a lower value than alphabetic characters in Unicode, so it gets printed first. (The rest of the characters were sorted alphabetically).

Now upper case letters have a lower value than lower case letter in Unicode, so "Example" and "Sorting" gets printed, then at last "is " which has the highest value.

How does data binding work in AngularJS?

Here is an example of data binding with AngularJS, using an input field. I will explain later

HTML Code

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl" class="formInput">
     <input type="text" ng-model="watchInput" Placeholder="type something"/>
     <p>{{watchInput}}</p> 
</div>

AngularJS Code

myApp = angular.module ("myApp", []);
myApp.controller("myCtrl", ["$scope", function($scope){
  //Your Controller code goes here
}]);

As you can see in the example above, AngularJS uses ng-model to listen and watch what happens on HTML elements, especially on input fields. When something happens, do something. In our case, ng-model is bind to our view, using the mustache notation {{}}. Whatever is typed inside the input field is displayed on the screen instantly. And that's the beauty of data binding, using AngularJS in its simplest form.

Hope this helps.

See a working example here on Codepen

Adding Jar files to IntellijIdea classpath

On the Mac version I was getting the error when trying to run JSON-Clojure.json.clj, which is the script to export a database table to JSON. To get it to work I had to download the latest Clojure JAR from http://clojure.org/ and then right-click on PHPStorm app in the Finder and "Show Package Contents". Then go to Contents in there. Then open the lib folder, and see a bunch of .jar files. Copy the clojure-1.8.0.jar file from the unzipped archive I downloaded from clojure.org into the aforementioned lib folder inside the PHPStorm.app/Contents/lib. Restart the app. Now it freaking works.

EDIT: You also have to put the JSR-223 script engine into PHPStorm.app/Contents/lib. It can be built from https://github.com/ato/clojure-jsr223 or downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/jg7s0c41t5ceu7o/clojure-jsr223-1.5.1.jar?dl=0 .

What is the (function() { } )() construct in JavaScript?

That is a self-invoking anonymous function.

Check out the W3Schools explanation of a self-invoking function.

A self-invoking expression is invoked (started) automatically, without being called.

Function expressions will execute automatically if the expression is followed by ().

You cannot self-invoke a function declaration.

How can I auto hide alert box after it showing it?

tldr; jsFiddle Demo

This functionality is not possible with an alert. However, you could use a div

function tempAlert(msg,duration)
{
 var el = document.createElement("div");
 el.setAttribute("style","position:absolute;top:40%;left:20%;background-color:white;");
 el.innerHTML = msg;
 setTimeout(function(){
  el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
 },duration);
 document.body.appendChild(el);
}

Use this like this:

tempAlert("close",5000);

List<T> or IList<T>

You would because defining an IList or an ICollection would open up for other implementations of your interfaces.

You might want to have an IOrderRepository that defines a collection of orders in either a IList or ICollection. You could then have different kinds of implementations to provide a list of orders as long as they conform to "rules" defined by your IList or ICollection.

Ruby sleep or delay less than a second?

sleep(1.0/24.0)

As to your follow up question if that's the best way: No, you could get not-so-smooth framerates because the rendering of each frame might not take the same amount of time.

You could try one of these solutions:

  • Use a timer which fires 24 times a second with the drawing code.
  • Create as many frames as possible, create the motion based on the time passed, not per frame.

How to get the new value of an HTML input after a keypress has modified it?

There are two kinds of input value: field's property and field's html attribute.

If you use keyup event and field.value you shuld get current value of the field. It's not the case when you use field.getAttribute('value') which would return what's in the html attribute (value=""). The property represents what's been typed into the field and changes as you type, while attribute doesn't change automatically (you can change it using field.setAttribute method).

How to store(bitmap image) and retrieve image from sqlite database in android?

Setting Up the database

public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    // Database Version
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

    // Database Name
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "database_name";

    // Table Names
    private static final String DB_TABLE = "table_image";

    // column names
    private static final String KEY_NAME = "image_name";
    private static final String KEY_IMAGE = "image_data";

    // Table create statement
    private static final String CREATE_TABLE_IMAGE = "CREATE TABLE " + DB_TABLE + "("+ 
                       KEY_NAME + " TEXT," + 
                       KEY_IMAGE + " BLOB);";

    public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

        // creating table
        db.execSQL(CREATE_TABLE_IMAGE);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        // on upgrade drop older tables
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + DB_TABLE);

        // create new table
        onCreate(db);
    }
}

Insert in the Database:

public void addEntry( String name, byte[] image) throws SQLiteException{
    SQLiteDatabase database = this.getWritableDatabase();
    ContentValues cv = new  ContentValues();
    cv.put(KEY_NAME,    name);
    cv.put(KEY_IMAGE,   image);
    database.insert( DB_TABLE, null, cv );
}

Retrieving data:

 byte[] image = cursor.getBlob(1);

Note:

  1. Before inserting into database, you need to convert your Bitmap image into byte array first then apply it using database query.
  2. When retrieving from database, you certainly have a byte array of image, what you need to do is to convert byte array back to original image. So, you have to make use of BitmapFactory to decode.

Below is an Utility class which I hope could help you:

public class DbBitmapUtility {

How to check if array is empty or does not exist?

You want to do the check for undefined first. If you do it the other way round, it will generate an error if the array is undefined.

if (array === undefined || array.length == 0) {
    // array empty or does not exist
}

Update

This answer is getting a fair amount of attention, so I'd like to point out that my original answer, more than anything else, addressed the wrong order of the conditions being evaluated in the question. In this sense, it fails to address several scenarios, such as null values, other types of objects with a length property, etc. It is also not very idiomatic JavaScript.

The foolproof approach
Taking some inspiration from the comments, below is what I currently consider to be the foolproof way to check whether an array is empty or does not exist. It also takes into account that the variable might not refer to an array, but to some other type of object with a length property.

if (!Array.isArray(array) || !array.length) {
  // array does not exist, is not an array, or is empty
  // ? do not attempt to process array
}

To break it down:

  1. Array.isArray(), unsurprisingly, checks whether its argument is an array. This weeds out values like null, undefined and anything else that is not an array.
    Note that this will also eliminate array-like objects, such as the arguments object and DOM NodeList objects. Depending on your situation, this might not be the behavior you're after.

  2. The array.length condition checks whether the variable's length property evaluates to a truthy value. Because the previous condition already established that we are indeed dealing with an array, more strict comparisons like array.length != 0 or array.length !== 0 are not required here.

The pragmatic approach
In a lot of cases, the above might seem like overkill. Maybe you're using a higher order language like TypeScript that does most of the type-checking for you at compile-time, or you really don't care whether the object is actually an array, or just array-like.

In those cases, I tend to go for the following, more idiomatic JavaScript:

if (!array || !array.length) {
    // array or array.length are falsy
    // ? do not attempt to process array
}

Or, more frequently, its inverse:

if (array && array.length) {
    // array and array.length are truthy
    // ? probably OK to process array
}

With the introduction of the optional chaining operator (Elvis operator) in ECMAScript 2020, this can be shortened even further:

if (!array?.length) {
    // array or array.length are falsy
    // ? do not attempt to process array
}

Or the opposite:

if (array?.length) {
    // array and array.length are truthy
    // ? probably OK to process array
}

Using LIKE in an Oracle IN clause

What would be useful here would be a LIKE ANY predicate as is available in PostgreSQL

SELECT * 
FROM tbl
WHERE my_col LIKE ANY (ARRAY['%val1%', '%val2%', '%val3%', ...])

Unfortunately, that syntax is not available in Oracle. You can expand the quantified comparison predicate using OR, however:

SELECT * 
FROM tbl
WHERE my_col LIKE '%val1%' OR my_col LIKE '%val2%' OR my_col LIKE '%val3%', ...

Or alternatively, create a semi join using an EXISTS predicate and an auxiliary array data structure (see this question for details):

SELECT *
FROM tbl t
WHERE EXISTS (
  SELECT 1
  -- Alternatively, store those values in a temp table:
  FROM TABLE (sys.ora_mining_varchar2_nt('%val1%', '%val2%', '%val3%'/*, ...*/))
  WHERE t.my_col LIKE column_value
)

How do I attach events to dynamic HTML elements with jQuery?

After jQuery 1.7 the preferred methods are .on() and .off()

Sean's answer shows an example.

Now Deprecated:

Use the jQuery functions .live() and .die(). Available in jQuery 1.3.x

From the docs:

To display each paragraph's text in an alert box whenever it is clicked:

$("p").live("click", function(){
  alert( $(this).text() );
});

Also, the livequery plugin does this and has support for more events.

Polygon Drawing and Getting Coordinates with Google Map API v3

Well, unfortunately it seems that one cannot place custom markers and draw (and obtain coordinates) directly from maps.google.com if one is anonymous/not logged in (as it was possible some years ago, if I recall correctly). Still, thanks to the answers here, I managed to make a combination of examples that has both the Google Places search, and allows drawing via the drawing library, and dumps coordinates upon making a selection of any type of shape (including coordinates for polygon) that can be copypasted; the code is here:

This is how it looks like:

test.png

(The Places markers are handled separately, and can be deleted via the DEL "button" by the search input form element; "curpos" shows the current center [position] and zoom level of the map viewport).
