Converting a char to ASCII?

You can use chars as is as single byte integers.

Best way to randomize an array with .NET

        int[] numbers = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
        List<int> numList = new List<int>();
        numList.AddRange(numbers);

        Console.WriteLine("Original Order");
        for (int i = 0; i < numList.Count; i++)
        {
            Console.Write(String.Format("{0} ",numList[i]));
        }

        Random random = new Random();
        Console.WriteLine("\n\nRandom Order");
        for (int i = 0; i < numList.Capacity; i++)
        {
            int randomIndex = random.Next(numList.Count);
            Console.Write(String.Format("{0} ", numList[randomIndex]));
            numList.RemoveAt(randomIndex);
        }
        Console.ReadLine();

Spring Boot without the web server

If you need web functionality in your application (like org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate for REST calls) but you don't want to start a TOMCAT server, just exclude it in the POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Why Visual Studio 2015 can't run exe file (ucrtbased.dll)?

The problem was solved by reinstalling Visual Studio 2015.

How can I set the Secure flag on an ASP.NET Session Cookie?

Things get messy quickly if you are talking about checked-in code in an enterprise environment. We've found that the best approach is to have the web.Release.config contain the following:

<system.web>
  <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
  <authentication>
      <forms xdt:Transform="Replace" timeout="20" requireSSL="true" />
  </authentication>
</system.web>

That way, developers are not affected (running in Debug), and only servers that get Release builds are requiring cookies to be SSL.

How to check if a process is running via a batch script

Building on vtrz's answer and Samuel Renkert's answer on an other topic, I came up with the following script that only runs %EXEC_CMD% if it isn't already running:

@echo off
set EXEC_CMD="rsync.exe"
wmic process where (name=%EXEC_CMD%) get commandline | findstr /i %EXEC_CMD%> NUL
if errorlevel 1 (
    %EXEC_CMD% ...
) else (
    @echo not starting %EXEC_CMD%: already running.
)

As was said before, this requires administrative privileges.

What Are Some Good .NET Profilers?

I would add that dotTrace's ability to diff memory and performance trace sessions is absolutely invaluable (ANTS may also have a memory diff feature, but I didn't see a performance diff).

Being able to run a profiling session before and after a bug fix or enhancement, then compare the results is incredibly valuable, especially with a mammoth legacy .NET application (as in my case) where performance was never a priority and where finding bottlenecks could be VERY tedious. Doing a before-and-after diff allows you to see the change in call count for each method and the change in duration for each method.

This is helpful not only during code changes, but also if you have an application that uses a different database, say, for each client/customer. If one customer complains of slowness, you can run a profiling session using their database and compare the results with a "fast" database to determine which operations are contributing to the slowness. Of course there are many database-side performance tools, but sometimes I really helps to see the performance metrics from the application side (since that's closer to what the user's actually seeing).

Bottom line: dotTrace works great, and the diff is invaluable.

Is <div style="width: ;height: ;background: "> CSS?

Yes, it is called Inline CSS, Here you styling the div using some height, width, and background.

Here the example:

<div style="width:50px;height:50px;background color:red">

You can achieve same using Internal or External CSS

2.Internal CSS:

  <head>
    <style>
    div {
    height:50px;
    width:50px;
    background-color:red;
    foreground-color:white;
    }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div></div>
  </body>

3.External CSS:

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>

style.css /external css file/

 div {
        height:50px;
        width:50px;
        background-color:red;
    }

Byte and char conversion in Java

A character in Java is a Unicode code-unit which is treated as an unsigned number. So if you perform c = (char)b the value you get is 2^16 - 56 or 65536 - 56.

Or more precisely, the byte is first converted to a signed integer with the value 0xFFFFFFC8 using sign extension in a widening conversion. This in turn is then narrowed down to 0xFFC8 when casting to a char, which translates to the positive number 65480.

From the language specification:

5.1.4. Widening and Narrowing Primitive Conversion

First, the byte is converted to an int via widening primitive conversion (§5.1.2), and then the resulting int is converted to a char by narrowing primitive conversion (§5.1.3).

To get the right point use char c = (char) (b & 0xFF) which first converts the byte value of b to the positive integer 200 by using a mask, zeroing the top 24 bits after conversion: 0xFFFFFFC8 becomes 0x000000C8 or the positive number 200 in decimals.

Above is a direct explanation of what happens during conversion between the byte, int and char primitive types.

If you want to encode/decode characters from bytes, use Charset, CharsetEncoder, CharsetDecoder or one of the convenience methods such as new String(byte[] bytes, Charset charset) or String#toBytes(Charset charset). You can get the character set (such as UTF-8 or Windows-1252) from StandardCharsets.

How to strip comma in Python string

Accessing nested JavaScript objects and arrays by string path

Simple function, allowing for either a string or array path.

function get(obj, path) {
  if(typeof path === 'string') path = path.split('.');

  if(path.length === 0) return obj;
  return get(obj[path[0]], path.slice(1));
}

const obj = {a: {b: {c: 'foo'}}};

console.log(get(obj, 'a.b.c')); //foo

console.log(get(obj, ['a', 'b', 'c'])); //foo

Cut Corners using CSS

You could use linear-gradient. Let's say the parent div had a background image, and you needed a div to sit on top of that with a gray background and a dog-eared left corner. You could do something like this:

.parent-div { background: url('/image.jpg'); }
.child-div { 
   background: #333;
   background: linear-gradient(135deg, transparent 30px, #333 0);
}

How to copy text from a div to clipboard

Create a element to be appended to the document. Set its value to the string that we want to copy to the clipboard. Append said element to the current HTML document. Use HTMLInputElement.select() to select the contents of the element. Use Document.execCommand('copy') to copy the contents of the to the clipboard. Remove the element from the document

function copyToClipboard(containertext) {
    var el = document.createElement('textarea');
    el.value = containertext;
    el.text = containertext;
    el.setAttribute('id', 'copyText');
    el.setAttribute('readonly', '');
    el.style.position = 'absolute';
    el.style.left = '-9999px';
    document.body.appendChild(el);
    var coptTextArea = document.getElementById('copyText');
    $('#copyText').text(containertext);
    coptTextArea.select();
    document.execCommand('copy');
    document.body.removeChild(el);
    /* Alert the copied text */
    alert("Copied : "+containertext, 1000);
}

How do I count unique values inside a list

ipta = raw_input("Word: ") ## asks for input
words = [] ## creates list

while ipta: ## while loop to ask for input and append in list
  words.append(ipta)
  ipta = raw_input("Word: ")
  words.append(ipta)
#Create a set, sets do not have repeats
unique_words = set(words)

print "There are " +  str(len(unique_words)) + " unique words!"

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {XXXX} failed due to the following error: 80040154

Had a related issue with a different, but similar fix:

I had a Windows service project set to "Any-CPU" using a 64-bit DLL. Same error message. Tried a whole bunch of things, but nothing worked. Finally, I went into project Properties -> Build and noticed that project had "Prefer 32-bit" checked. Unchecked this and no more error.

My guess is that the windows service was expecting a 32-bit DLL, and couldn't find it.

How does GPS in a mobile phone work exactly?

GPS, the Global Positioning System run by the United States Military, is free for civilian use, though the reality is that we're paying for it with tax dollars.

However, GPS on cell phones is a bit more murky. In general, it won't cost you anything to turn on the GPS in your cell phone, but when you get a location it usually involves the cell phone company in order to get it quickly with little signal, as well as get a location when the satellites aren't visible (since the gov't requires a fix even if the satellites aren't visible for emergency 911 purposes). It uses up some cellular bandwidth. This also means that for phones without a regular GPS receiver, you cannot use the GPS at all if you don't have cell phone service.

For this reason most cell phone companies have the GPS in the phone turned off except for emergency calls and for services they sell you (such as directions).

This particular kind of GPS is called assisted GPS (AGPS), and there are several levels of assistance used.

GPS

A normal GPS receiver listens to a particular frequency for radio signals. Satellites send time coded messages at this frequency. Each satellite has an atomic clock, and sends the current exact time as well.

The GPS receiver figures out which satellites it can hear, and then starts gathering those messages. The messages include time, current satellite positions, and a few other bits of information. The message stream is slow - this is to save power, and also because all the satellites transmit on the same frequency and they're easier to pick out if they go slow. Because of this, and the amount of information needed to operate well, it can take 30-60 seconds to get a location on a regular GPS.

When it knows the position and time code of at least 3 satellites, a GPS receiver can assume it's on the earth's surface and get a good reading. 4 satellites are needed if you aren't on the ground and you want altitude as well.

AGPS

As you saw above, it can take a long time to get a position fix with a normal GPS. There are ways to speed this up, but unless you're carrying an atomic clock with you all the time, or leave the GPS on all the time, then there's always going to be a delay of between 5-60 seconds before you get a location.

In order to save cost, most cell phones share the GPS receiver components with the cellular components, and you can't get a fix and talk at the same time. People don't like that (especially when there's an emergency) so the lowest form of GPS does the following:

Get some information from the cell phone company to feed to the GPS receiver - some of this is gross positioning information based on what cellular towers can 'hear' your phone, so by this time they already phone your location to within a city block or so.
Switch from cellular to GPS receiver for 0.1 second (or some small, practically unoticable period of time) and collect the raw GPS data (no processing on the phone).
Switch back to the phone mode, and send the raw data to the phone company
The phone company processes that data (acts as an offline GPS receiver) and send the location back to your phone.

This saves a lot of money on the phone design, but it has a heavy load on cellular bandwidth, and with a lot of requests coming it requires a lot of fast servers. Still, overall it can be cheaper and faster to implement. They are reluctant, however, to release GPS based features on these phones due to this load - so you won't see turn by turn navigation here.

More recent designs include a full GPS chip. They still get data from the phone company - such as current location based on tower positioning, and current satellite locations - this provides sub 1 second fix times. This information is only needed once, and the GPS can keep track of everything after that with very little power. If the cellular network is unavailable, then they can still get a fix after awhile. If the GPS satellites aren't visible to the receiver, then they can still get a rough fix from the cellular towers.

But to completely answer your question - it's as free as the phone company lets it be, and so far they do not charge for it at all. I doubt that's going to change in the future. In the higher end phones with a full GPS receiver you may even be able to load your own software and access it, such as with mologogo on a motorola iDen phone - the J2ME development kit is free, and the phone is only $40 (prepaid phone with $5 credit). Unlimited internet is about $10 a month, so for $40 to start and $10 a month you can get an internet tracking system. (Prices circa August 2008)

It's only going to get cheaper and more full featured from here on out...

Re: Google maps and such

Yes, Google maps and all other cell phone mapping systems require a data connection of some sort at varying times during usage. When you move far enough in one direction, for instance, it'll request new tiles from its server. Your average phone doesn't have enough storage to hold a map of the US, nor the processor power to render it nicely. iPhone would be able to if you wanted to use the storage space up with maps, but given that most iPhones have a full time unlimited data plan most users would rather use that space for other things.

Most common C# bitwise operations on enums

I did some more work on these extensions - You can find the code here

I wrote some extension methods that extend System.Enum that I use often... I'm not claiming that they are bulletproof, but they have helped... Comments removed...

namespace Enum.Extensions {

    public static class EnumerationExtensions {

        public static bool Has<T>(this System.Enum type, T value) {
            try {
                return (((int)(object)type & (int)(object)value) == (int)(object)value);
            } 
            catch {
                return false;
            }
        }

        public static bool Is<T>(this System.Enum type, T value) {
            try {
                return (int)(object)type == (int)(object)value;
            }
            catch {
                return false;
            }    
        }


        public static T Add<T>(this System.Enum type, T value) {
            try {
                return (T)(object)(((int)(object)type | (int)(object)value));
            }
            catch(Exception ex) {
                throw new ArgumentException(
                    string.Format(
                        "Could not append value from enumerated type '{0}'.",
                        typeof(T).Name
                        ), ex);
            }    
        }


        public static T Remove<T>(this System.Enum type, T value) {
            try {
                return (T)(object)(((int)(object)type & ~(int)(object)value));
            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                throw new ArgumentException(
                    string.Format(
                        "Could not remove value from enumerated type '{0}'.",
                        typeof(T).Name
                        ), ex);
            }  
        }

    }
}

Then they are used like the following

SomeType value = SomeType.Grapes;
bool isGrapes = value.Is(SomeType.Grapes); //true
bool hasGrapes = value.Has(SomeType.Grapes); //true

value = value.Add(SomeType.Oranges);
value = value.Add(SomeType.Apples);
value = value.Remove(SomeType.Grapes);

bool hasOranges = value.Has(SomeType.Oranges); //true
bool isApples = value.Is(SomeType.Apples); //false
bool hasGrapes = value.Has(SomeType.Grapes); //false

Twitter - How to embed native video from someone else's tweet into a New Tweet or a DM

AngularJS 1.2 $injector:modulerr

How to set up fixed width for <td>?

If you're using <table class="table"> on your table, Bootstrap's table class adds a width of 100% to the table. You need to change the width to auto.

Also, if the first row of your table is a header row, you might need to add the width to th rather than td.

Best way to check for null values in Java?

Your last proposal is the best.

if (foo != null && foo.bar()) {
    etc...
}

Because:

It is easier to read.
It is safe : foo.bar() will never be executed if foo == null.
It prevents from bad practice such as catching NullPointerExceptions (most of the time due to a bug in your code)
It should execute as fast or even faster than other methods (even though I think it should be almost impossible to notice it).

How to use the PRINT statement to track execution as stored procedure is running?

Can I just ask about the long term need for this facility - is it for debuging purposes?

If so, then you may want to consider using a proper debugger, such as the one found in Visual Studio, as this allows you to step through the procedure in a more controlled way, and avoids having to constantly add/remove PRINT statement from the procedure.

Just my opinion, but I prefer the debugger approach - for code and databases.

Get the second largest number in a list in linear time

You could use the heapq module:

>>> el = [20,67,3,2.6,7,74,2.8,90.8,52.8,4,3,2,5,7]
>>> import heapq
>>> heapq.nlargest(2, el)
[90.8, 74]

And go from there...

How to sort strings in JavaScript

An explanation of why the approach in the question doesn't work:

let products = [
    { name: "laptop", price: 800 },
    { name: "phone", price:200},
    { name: "tv", price: 1200}
];
products.sort( (a, b) => {
    {let value= a.name - b.name; console.log(value); return value}
});

> 2 NaN

Subtraction between strings returns NaN.

Echoing @Alejadro's answer, the right approach is--

products.sort( (a,b) => a.name > b.name ? 1 : -1 )

Java optional parameters

Default arguments can not be used in Java. Where in C#, C++ and Python, we can use them..

In Java, we must have to use 2 methods (functions) instead of one with default parameters.

Example:

Stash(int size); 

Stash(int size, int initQuantity);

http://parvindersingh.webs.com/apps/forums/topics/show/8856498-java-how-to-set-default-parameters-values-like-c-

ARG or ENV, which one to use in this case?

So if want to set the value of an environment variable to something different for every build then we can pass these values during build time and we don't need to change our docker file every time.

While ENV, once set cannot be overwritten through command line values. So, if we want to have our environment variable to have different values for different builds then we could use ARG and set default values in our docker file. And when we want to overwrite these values then we can do so using --build-args at every build without changing our docker file.

For more details, you can refer this.

Wait some seconds without blocking UI execution

If you do not want to block things and also not want to use multi threading, here is the solution for you: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer(v=vs.110).aspx

The UI Thread is not blocked and the timer waits for 2 seconds before doing something.

Here is the code coming from the link above:

        // Create a timer with a two second interval.
    aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(2000);
    // Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer. 
    aTimer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
    aTimer.Enabled = true;

    Console.WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program... ");
    Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Terminating the application...");

What does it mean: The serializable class does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field?

it must be changed whenever anything changes that affects the serialization (additional fields, removed fields, change of field order, ...)

That's not correct, and you will be unable to cite an authoriitative source for that claim. It should be changed whenever you make a change that is incompatible under the rules given in the Versioning of Serializable Objects section of the Object Serialization Specification, which specifically does not include additional fields or change of field order, and when you haven't provided readObject(), writeObject(), and/or readResolve() or /writeReplace() methods and/or a serializableFields declaration that could cope with the change.

Scala how can I count the number of occurrences in a list

I did not get the size of the list using length but rather size as one the answer above suggested it because of the issue reported here.

val list = List("apple", "oranges", "apple", "banana", "apple", "oranges", "oranges")
list.groupBy(x=>x).map(t => (t._1, t._2.size))

Writing to an Excel spreadsheet

If your need is to modify an existing workbook, the safest way would be to use pyoo. You need to have some libraries installed and it takes a few hoops to jump through but once its set up, this would be bulletproof as you are leveraging the wide and solid API's of LibreOffice / OpenOffice.

Please see my Gist on how to set up a linux system and do some basic coding using pyoo.

Here is an example of the code:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3
import pyoo
# Connect to LibreOffice using a named pipe 
# (named in the soffice process startup)
desktop = pyoo.Desktop(pipe='oo_pyuno')
wkbk = desktop.open_spreadsheet("<xls_file_name>")
sheet = wkbk.sheets['Sheet1']
# Write value 'foo' to cell E5 on Sheet1
sheet[4,4].value='foo'
wkbk.save()
wkbk.close()

Press any key to continue

Here is what I use.

Write-Host -NoNewLine 'Press any key to continue...';
$null = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey('NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown');

How to set space between listView Items in Android

In order to give spacing between views inside a listView please use padding on your inflate views.

You can use android:paddingBottom="(number)dp" && android:paddingTop="(number)dp" on your view or views you're inflate inside your listview.

The divider solution is just a fix, because some day, when you'll want to use a divider color (right now it's transparent) you will see that the divider line is been stretched.

Relative imports in Python 3

unfortunately, this module needs to be inside the package, and it also needs to be runnable as a script, sometimes. Any idea how I could achieve that?

It's quite common to have a layout like this...

main.py
mypackage/
    __init__.py
    mymodule.py
    myothermodule.py

...with a mymodule.py like this...

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Exported function
def as_int(a):
    return int(a)

# Test function for module  
def _test():
    assert as_int('1') == 1

if __name__ == '__main__':
    _test()

...a myothermodule.py like this...

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from .mymodule import as_int

# Exported function
def add(a, b):
    return as_int(a) + as_int(b)

# Test function for module  
def _test():
    assert add('1', '1') == 2

if __name__ == '__main__':
    _test()

...and a main.py like this...

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from mypackage.myothermodule import add

def main():
    print(add('1', '1'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

...which works fine when you run main.py or mypackage/mymodule.py, but fails with mypackage/myothermodule.py, due to the relative import...

from .mymodule import as_int

The way you're supposed to run it is...

python3 -m mypackage.myothermodule

...but it's somewhat verbose, and doesn't mix well with a shebang line like #!/usr/bin/env python3.

The simplest fix for this case, assuming the name mymodule is globally unique, would be to avoid using relative imports, and just use...

from mymodule import as_int

...although, if it's not unique, or your package structure is more complex, you'll need to include the directory containing your package directory in PYTHONPATH, and do it like this...

from mypackage.mymodule import as_int

...or if you want it to work "out of the box", you can frob the PYTHONPATH in code first with this...

import sys
import os

PACKAGE_PARENT = '..'
SCRIPT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), os.path.expanduser(__file__))))
sys.path.append(os.path.normpath(os.path.join(SCRIPT_DIR, PACKAGE_PARENT)))

from mypackage.mymodule import as_int

It's kind of a pain, but there's a clue as to why in an email written by a certain Guido van Rossum...

I'm -1 on this and on any other proposed twiddlings of the __main__ machinery. The only use case seems to be running scripts that happen to be living inside a module's directory, which I've always seen as an antipattern. To make me change my mind you'd have to convince me that it isn't.

Whether running scripts inside a package is an antipattern or not is subjective, but personally I find it really useful in a package I have which contains some custom wxPython widgets, so I can run the script for any of the source files to display a wx.Frame containing only that widget for testing purposes.

Exposing the current state name with ui router

Answering your question in this format is quite challenging.

On the other hand you ask about navigation and then about current $state acting all weird.

For the first I'd say it's too broad question and for the second I'd say... well, you are doing something wrong or missing the obvious :)

Take the following controller:

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $state) {
  $scope.state = $state;
});

Where app is configured as:

app.config(function($stateProvider) {
  $stateProvider
    .state('main', {
        url: '/main',
        templateUrl: 'main.html',
        controller: 'MainCtrl'
    })
    .state('main.thiscontent', {
        url: '/thiscontent',
        templateUrl: 'this.html',
        controller: 'ThisCtrl'
    })
    .state('main.thatcontent', {
        url: '/thatcontent',
        templateUrl: 'that.html'
    });
});

Then simple HTML template having

<div>
  {{ state | json }}
</div>

Would "print out" e.g. the following

{ 
  "params": {}, 
  "current": { 
    "url": "/thatcontent", 
    "templateUrl": "that.html", 
    "name": "main.thatcontent" 
  }, 
  "transition": null
}

I put up a small example showing this, using ui.router and pascalprecht.translate for the menus. I hope you find it useful and figure out what is it you are doing wrong.

Find out the history of SQL queries

You can use this sql statement to get the history for any date:

SELECT * FROM V$SQL V where  to_date(v.FIRST_LOAD_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss') > sysdate - 60

Get Substring - everything before certain char

You can use regular expressions for this purpose, but it's good to avoid extra exceptions when input string mismatches against regular expression.

First to avoid extra headache of escaping to regex pattern - we could just use function for that purpose:

String reStrEnding = Regex.Escape("-");

I know that this does not do anything - as "-" is the same as Regex.Escape("=") == "=", but it will make difference for example if character is @"\".

Then we need to match from begging of the string to string ending, or alternately if ending is not found - then match nothing. (Empty string)

Regex re = new Regex("^(.*?)" + reStrEnding);

If your application is performance critical - then separate line for new Regex, if not - you can have everything in one line.

And finally match against string and extract matched pattern:

String matched = re.Match(str).Groups[1].ToString();

And after that you can either write separate function, like it was done in another answer, or write inline lambda function. I've wrote now using both notations - inline lambda function (does not allow default parameter) or separate function call.

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

static class Helper
{
    public static string GetUntilOrEmpty(this string text, string stopAt = "-")
    {
        return new Regex("^(.*?)" + Regex.Escape(stopAt)).Match(text).Groups[1].Value;
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Regex re = new Regex("^(.*?)-");
        Func<String, String> untilSlash = (s) => { return re.Match(s).Groups[1].ToString(); };

        Console.WriteLine(untilSlash("223232-1.jpg"));
        Console.WriteLine(untilSlash("443-2.jpg"));
        Console.WriteLine(untilSlash("34443553-5.jpg"));
        Console.WriteLine(untilSlash("noEnding(will result in empty string)"));
        Console.WriteLine(untilSlash(""));
        // Throws exception: Console.WriteLine(untilSlash(null));

        Console.WriteLine("443-2.jpg".GetUntilOrEmpty());
    }
}

Btw - changing regex pattern to "^(.*?)(-|$)" will allow to pick up either until "-" pattern or if pattern was not found - pick up everything until end of string.

Disable scrolling on `<input type=number>`

You can simply use the HTML onwheel attribute.

This option have no effects on scrolling over other elements of the page.

And add a listener for all inputs don't work in inputs dynamically created posteriorly.

Aditionaly, you can remove the input arrows with CSS.

_x000D_

input[type="number"]::-webkit-outer-spin-button, _x000D_
input[type="number"]::-webkit-inner-spin-button {_x000D_
    -webkit-appearance: none;_x000D_
    margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
input[type="number"] {_x000D_
    -moz-appearance: textfield;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<input type="number" onwheel="this.blur()" />

JSON - Iterate through JSONArray

            Iterator key = objects.keys();
            while (key.hasNext()) {
                String k = key.next().toString();
                System.out.println("Key : " + k + ", value : "
                        + objects.getString(k));
            }
            // System.out.println(objects.toString());
            System.out.println("-----------");

        }

Hope this helps someone

Why this "Implicit declaration of function 'X'"?

summation and your other functions are defined after they're used in main, and so the compiler has made a guess about it's signature; in other words, an implicit declaration has been assumed.

You should declare the function before it's used and get rid of the warning. In the C99 specification, this is an error.

Either move the function bodies before main, or include method signatures before main, e.g.:

#include <stdio.h>

int summation(int *, int *, int *);

int main()
{
    // ...

adding css class to multiple elements

You need to qualify the a part of the selector too:

.button input, .button a {
    //css stuff here
}

Basically, when you use the comma to create a group of selectors, each individual selector is completely independent. There is no relationship between them.

Your original selector therefore matched "all elements of type 'input' that are descendants of an element with the class name 'button', and all elements of type 'a'".

jQuery ui dialog change title after load-callback

I tried to implement the result of Nick which is:

$('.selectorUsedToCreateTheDialog').dialog('option', 'title', 'My New title');

But that didn't work for me because i had multiple dialogs on 1 page. In such a situation it will only set the title correct the first time. Trying to staple commands did not work:

    $("#modal_popup").html(data);
    $("#modal_popup").dialog('option', 'title', 'My New Title');
    $("#modal_popup").dialog({ width: 950, height: 550);

I fixed this by adding the title to the javascript function arguments of each dialog on the page:

function show_popup1() {
    $("#modal_popup").html(data);
    $("#modal_popup").dialog({ width: 950, height: 550, title: 'Popup Title of my First Dialog'});
}

function show_popup2() {
    $("#modal_popup").html(data);
    $("#modal_popup").dialog({ width: 950, height: 550, title: 'Popup Title of my Other Dialog'});
}

setTimeout in for-loop does not print consecutive values

the real solution is here, but you need to be familiar with PHP programing language. you must mix PHP and JAVASCRIPT orders in order to reach to your purpose.

pay attention to this :

<?php 
for($i=1;$i<=3;$i++){
echo "<script language='javascript' >
setTimeout(function(){alert('".$i."');},3000);  
</script>";
}
?>

It exactly does what you want, but be careful about how to make ralation between PHP variables and JAVASCRIPT ones.

Counting number of occurrences in column?

=arrayformula(if(isblank(B2:B),iferror(1/0),mmult(sign(B2:B=TRANSPOSE(A2:A)),A2:A)))

I got this from a good tutorial - can't remember the title - probably about using MMult

How do I use popover from Twitter Bootstrap to display an image?

Sort of similar to what mattbtay said, but a few changes. needed html:true.
Put this script on bottom of the page towards close body tag.

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function() {
  $("[rel=drevil]").popover({
      placement : 'bottom', //placement of the popover. also can use top, bottom, left or right
      title : '<div style="text-align:center; color:red; text-decoration:underline; font-size:14px;"> Muah ha ha</div>', //this is the top title bar of the popover. add some basic css
      html: 'true', //needed to show html of course
      content : '<div id="popOverBox"><img src="http://www.hd-report.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mr-evil.jpg" width="251" height="201" /></div>' //this is the content of the html box. add the image here or anything you want really.
});
});
</script>

Then HTML is:

<a href="#" rel="drevil">mischief</a>

Length of the String without using length() method

We can iterate through the string like a character array, and count that way (A much more down to earth way of doing it):

String s = "foo"
char arr[]=s.toCharArray();
int len = 0;
for(char single : arr){
  len++;
}

Using the "foreach" version of the for loop

Converting Dictionary to List?

Probably you just want this:

dictList = dict.items()

Your approach has two problems. For one you use key and value in quotes, which are strings with the letters "key" and "value", not related to the variables of that names. Also you keep adding elements to the "temporary" list and never get rid of old elements that are already in it from previous iterations. Make sure you have a new and empty temp list in each iteration and use the key and value variables:

for key, value in dict.iteritems():
    temp = []
    aKey = key
    aValue = value
    temp.append(aKey)
    temp.append(aValue)
    dictList.append(temp)

Also note that this could be written shorter without the temporary variables (and in Python 3 with items() instead of iteritems()):

for key, value in dict.items():
    dictList.append([key, value])

Difference between arguments and parameters in Java

In java, there are two types of parameters, implicit parameters and explicit parameters. Explicit parameters are the arguments passed into a method. The implicit parameter of a method is the instance that the method is called from. Arguments are simply one of the two types of parameters.

How to combine two byte arrays

The simplest method (inline, assuming a and b are two given arrays):

byte[] c = (new String(a, cch) + new String(b, cch)).getBytes(cch);

This, of course, works with more than two summands and uses a concatenation charset, defined somewhere in your code:

static final java.nio.charset.Charset cch = java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1;

Or, in more simple form, without this charset:

byte[] c = (new String(a, "l1") + new String(b, "l1")).getBytes("l1");

But you need to suppress UnsupportedEncodingException which is unlikely to be thrown.

The fastest method:

public static byte[] concat(byte[] a, byte[] b) {
    int lenA = a.length;
    int lenB = b.length;
    byte[] c = Arrays.copyOf(a, lenA + lenB);
    System.arraycopy(b, 0, c, lenA, lenB);
    return c;
}

os.path.dirname(file) returns empty

print(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

You can also use this way

How to avoid Python/Pandas creating an index in a saved csv?

As others have stated, if you don't want to save the index column in the first place, you can use df.to_csv('processed.csv', index=False)

However, since the data you will usually use, have some sort of index themselves, let's say a 'timestamp' column, I would keep the index and load the data using it.

So, to save the indexed data, first set their index and then save the DataFrame:

df.set_index('timestamp')
df.to_csv('processed.csv')

Afterwards, you can either read the data with the index:

pd.read_csv('processed.csv', index_col='timestamp')

or read the data, and then set the index:

pd.read_csv('filename.csv')
pd.set_index('column_name')

jQuery Set Cursor Position in Text Area

Small modification to the code I found in bitbucket

Code is now able to select/highlight with start/end points if given 2 positions. Tested and works fine in FF/Chrome/IE9/Opera.

$('#field').caret(1, 9);

The code is listed below, only a few lines changed:

(function($) {
  $.fn.caret = function(pos) {
    var target = this[0];
    if (arguments.length == 0) { //get
      if (target.selectionStart) { //DOM
        var pos = target.selectionStart;
        return pos > 0 ? pos : 0;
      }
      else if (target.createTextRange) { //IE
        target.focus();
        var range = document.selection.createRange();
        if (range == null)
            return '0';
        var re = target.createTextRange();
        var rc = re.duplicate();
        re.moveToBookmark(range.getBookmark());
        rc.setEndPoint('EndToStart', re);
        return rc.text.length;
      }
      else return 0;
    }

    //set
    var pos_start = pos;
    var pos_end = pos;

    if (arguments.length > 1) {
        pos_end = arguments[1];
    }

    if (target.setSelectionRange) //DOM
      target.setSelectionRange(pos_start, pos_end);
    else if (target.createTextRange) { //IE
      var range = target.createTextRange();
      range.collapse(true);
      range.moveEnd('character', pos_end);
      range.moveStart('character', pos_start);
      range.select();
    }
  }
})(jQuery)

How do you Encrypt and Decrypt a PHP String?

If you don't want to use library (which you should) then use something like this (PHP 7):

function sign($message, $key) {
    return hash_hmac('sha256', $message, $key) . $message;
}

function verify($bundle, $key) {
    return hash_equals(
      hash_hmac('sha256', mb_substr($bundle, 64, null, '8bit'), $key),
      mb_substr($bundle, 0, 64, '8bit')
    );
}

function getKey($password, $keysize = 16) {
    return hash_pbkdf2('sha256',$password,'some_token',100000,$keysize,true);
}

function encrypt($message, $password) {
    $iv = random_bytes(16);
    $key = getKey($password);
    $result = sign(openssl_encrypt($message,'aes-256-ctr',$key,OPENSSL_RAW_DATA,$iv), $key);
    return bin2hex($iv).bin2hex($result);
}

function decrypt($hash, $password) {
    $iv = hex2bin(substr($hash, 0, 32));
    $data = hex2bin(substr($hash, 32));
    $key = getKey($password);
    if (!verify($data, $key)) {
      return null;
    }
    return openssl_decrypt(mb_substr($data, 64, null, '8bit'),'aes-256-ctr',$key,OPENSSL_RAW_DATA,$iv);
}

$string_to_encrypt='John Smith';
$password='password';
$encrypted_string=encrypt($string_to_encrypt, $password);
$decrypted_string=decrypt($encrypted_string, $password);

Replace special characters in a string with _ (underscore)

Convert from MySQL datetime to another format with PHP

SELECT 
 DATE_FORMAT(demo.dateFrom, '%e.%M.%Y') as dateFrom,
 DATE_FORMAT(demo.dateUntil, '%e.%M.%Y') as dateUntil
FROM demo

If you dont want to change every function in your PHP code, to show the expected date format, change it at the source - your database.

It is important to name the rows with the as operator as in the example above (as dateFrom, as dateUntil). The names you write there are the names, the rows will be called in your result.

The output of this example will be

[Day of the month, numeric (0..31)].[Month name (January..December)].[Year, numeric, four digits]

Example: 5.August.2015

Change the dots with the separator of choice and check the DATE_FORMAT(date,format) function for more date formats.

pandas loc vs. iloc vs. at vs. iat?

loc: only work on index
iloc: work on position
at: get scalar values. It's a very fast loc
iat: Get scalar values. It's a very fast iloc

Also,

at and iat are meant to access a scalar, that is, a single element in the dataframe, while loc and iloc are ments to access several elements at the same time, potentially to perform vectorized operations.

Android Gradle Apache HttpClient does not exist?

I had to post as none of the above answers worked completely for me.

I am using Android Studio

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

Step 1: Download lastest jar file (http://www-eu.apache.org/dist//httpcomponents/httpclient/binary/httpcomponents-client-4.5.2-bin.zip)

Step 2: Copy paste the .jar file to the libs folder (create if does not exist already) in your module (can be app or library)

Step 3: Right click on the jar and "Add as Library". It will automatically add the jar file as a dependency in your module's gradle file

Step 4: Now automatically your problem will get resolved but in case you are using proguard in your app, it will give you warning about duplicate class files and won't let you build. It is a known bug and you need to add following to your proguard-rules

-dontwarn org.apache.commons.**
-keep class org.apache.http.** { *; }
-dontwarn org.apache.http.**

Good Luck!

Stop Excel from automatically converting certain text values to dates

An alternate method:

Convert the format of the column you want to change to 'Text'. Select all the cells you want to preserve, copy. Without deselecting those columns, click "Edit > Paste Special > As values"

Save as CSV. Note that this has to be the last thing you do to the file because when you reopen it, it will format itself as dates since cell formats cannot be saved in CSV files.

When restoring a backup, how do I disconnect all active connections?

I ran across this problem while automating a restore proccess in SQL Server 2008. My (successfull) approach was a mix of two of the answers provided.

First, I run across all the connections of said database, and kill them.

DECLARE @SPID int = (SELECT TOP 1 SPID FROM sys.sysprocess WHERE dbid = db_id('dbName'))
While @spid Is Not Null
Begin
        Execute ('Kill ' + @spid)
        Select @spid = top 1 spid from master.dbo.sysprocesses
        where dbid = db_id('dbName')
End

Then, I set the database to a single_user mode

ALTER DATABASE dbName SET SINGLE_USER

Then, I run the restore...

RESTORE DATABASE and whatnot

Kill the connections again

(same query as above)

And set the database back to multi_user.

ALTER DATABASE dbName SET MULTI_USER

This way, I ensure that there are no connections holding up the database before setting to single mode, since the former will freeze if there are.

Calling a rest api with username and password - how to

var client = new RestClient("https://" + host + "/method1");            
client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(userName, password);            
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST); 
request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");            
request.AddParameter("application/json","{}",ParameterType.RequestBody);

How to execute a java .class from the command line

My situation was a little complicated. I had to do three steps since I was using a .dll in the resources directory, for JNI code. My files were

S:\Accessibility\tools\src\main\resources\dlls\HelloWorld.dll
S:\Accessibility\tools\src\test\java\com\accessibility\HelloWorld.class

My code contained the following line

System.load(HelloWorld.class.getResource("/dlls/HelloWorld.dll").getPath());

First, I had to move to the classpath directory

cd /D "S:\Accessibility\tools\src\test\java"

Next, I had to change the classpath to point to the current directory so that my class would be loaded and I had to change the classpath to point to he resources directory so my dll would be loaded.

set classpath=%classpath%;.;..\..\..\src\main\resources;

Then, I had to run java using the classname.

Equivalent of waitForVisible/waitForElementPresent in Selenium WebDriver tests using Java?

Well the thing is that you probably actually don't want the test to run indefinitely. You just want to wait a longer amount of time before the library decides the element doesn't exist. In that case, the most elegant solution is to use implicit wait, which is designed for just that:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait( ... )

Reloading the page gives wrong GET request with AngularJS HTML5 mode

I solved to

          base: [
            '.tmp',
            'test',
            '<%= yeoman.app %>'
          ],
         middleware: function (connect) {
                  return [
                      modRewrite(['^[^\\.]*$ /index.html [L]']),
                      connect.static('.tmp'),
                      connect().use(
                          '/bower_components',
                          connect.static('./bower_components')
                      ),
                      connect.static('app')
                  ];
              }

Why is there no ForEach extension method on IEnumerable?

Note that the MoreLINQ NuGet provides the ForEach extension method you're looking for (as well as a Pipe method which executes the delegate and yields its result). See:

Remove all items from RecyclerView

recyclerView.removeAllViewsInLayout();

The above line would help you remove all views from the layout.

For you:

@Override
protected void onRestart() {
    super.onRestart();

    recyclerView.removeAllViewsInLayout(); //removes all the views

    //then reload the data
    PostCall doPostCall = new PostCall(); //my AsyncTask... 
    doPostCall.execute();
}

ToString() function in Go

I prefer something like the following:

type StringRef []byte

func (s StringRef) String() string {
        return string(s[:])
}

…

// rather silly example, but ...
fmt.Printf("foo=%s\n",StringRef("bar"))

What is the best way to return different types of ResponseEntity in Spring MVC or Spring-Boot

Spring 2 introduced ResponseStatusException using this you can return String, different HTTP status code, DTO at the same time.

    if(userDto.getId() != null) {
        throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.NOT_ACCEPTABLE,"A new user cannot already have an ID");
    }
    return ResponseEntity.ok(userService.saveUser(userDto));
}

Easiest way to activate PHP and MySQL on Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?

In addition to the native versions, but you may want to try BitNami MAMP Stacks (disclaimer, I am one of the developers). They are completely free, all-in-one bundles of Apache, MySQL, PHP and a several other third-party libraries and utilities that are useful when developing locally. In particular, they are completely self-contained so you can have several one installed at the same time, with different versions of Apache and MySQL and they will not interfere with each other. You can get them from http://bitnami.org/stack/mampstack or directly from the Mac OS X app store https://itunes.apple.com/app/mamp-stack/id571310406

How do I handle ImeOptions' done button click?

Thanks to chikka.anddev and Alex Cohn in Kotlin it is:

text.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, event ->
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE ||
        event?.action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN && event.keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
        doSomething()
        true
    } else {
        false
    }
}

Here I check for Enter key, because it returns EditorInfo.IME_NULL instead of IME_ACTION_DONE.

See also Android imeOptions="actionDone" not working. Add android:singleLine="true" in the EditText.

Git submodule update

This GitPro page does summarize the consequence of a git submodule update nicely

When you run git submodule update, it checks out the specific version of the project, but not within a branch. This is called having a detached head — it means the HEAD file points directly to a commit, not to a symbolic reference.
The issue is that you generally don’t want to work in a detached head environment, because it’s easy to lose changes.
If you do an initial submodule update, commit in that submodule directory without creating a branch to work in, and then run git submodule update again from the superproject without committing in the meantime, Git will overwrite your changes without telling you. Technically you won’t lose the work, but you won’t have a branch pointing to it, so it will be somewhat difficult to retrieve.

Note March 2013:

As mentioned in "git submodule tracking latest", a submodule now (git1.8.2) can track a branch.

# add submodule to track master branch
git submodule add -b master [URL to Git repo];

# update your submodule
git submodule update --remote 
# or (with rebase)
git submodule update --rebase --remote

See "git submodule update --remote vs git pull".

MindTooth's answer illustrate a manual update (without local configuration):

git submodule -q foreach git pull -q origin master

In both cases, that will change the submodules references (the gitlink, a special entry in the parent repo index), and you will need to add, commit and push said references from the main repo.
Next time you will clone that parent repo, it will populate the submodules to reflect those new SHA1 references.

The rest of this answer details the classic submodule feature (reference to a fixed commit, which is the all point behind the notion of a submodule).

To avoid this issue, create a branch when you work in a submodule directory with git checkout -b work or something equivalent. When you do the submodule update a second time, it will still revert your work, but at least you have a pointer to get back to.

Switching branches with submodules in them can also be tricky. If you create a new branch, add a submodule there, and then switch back to a branch without that submodule, you still have the submodule directory as an untracked directory:

So, to answer your questions:

can I create branches/modifications and use push/pull just like I would in regular repos, or are there things to be cautious about?

You can create a branch and push modifications.

WARNING (from Git Submodule Tutorial): Always publish (push) the submodule change before publishing (push) the change to the superproject that references it. If you forget to publish the submodule change, others won't be able to clone the repository.

how would I advance the submodule referenced commit from say (tagged) 1.0 to 1.1 (even though the head of the original repo is already at 2.0)

The page "Understanding Submodules" can help

Git submodules are implemented using two moving parts:

the .gitmodules file and

a special kind of tree object.

These together triangulate a specific revision of a specific repository which is checked out into a specific location in your project.

From the git submodule page

you cannot modify the contents of the submodule from within the main project

100% correct: you cannot modify a submodule, only refer to one of its commits.

This is why, when you do modify a submodule from within the main project, you:

need to commit and push within the submodule (to the upstream module), and
then go up in your main project, and re-commit (in order for that main project to refer to the new submodule commit you just created and pushed)

A submodule enables you to have a component-based approach development, where the main project only refers to specific commits of other components (here "other Git repositories declared as sub-modules").

A submodule is a marker (commit) to another Git repository which is not bound by the main project development cycle: it (the "other" Git repo) can evolves independently.
It is up to the main project to pick from that other repo whatever commit it needs.

However, should you want to, out of convenience, modify one of those submodules directly from your main project, Git allows you to do that, provided you first publish those submodule modifications to its original Git repo, and then commit your main project refering to a new version of said submodule.

But the main idea remains: referencing specific components which:

have their own lifecycle
have their own set of tags
have their own development

The list of specific commits you are refering to in your main project defines your configuration (this is what Configuration Management is all about, englobing mere Version Control System)

If a component could really be developed at the same time as your main project (because any modification on the main project would involve modifying the sub-directory, and vice-versa), then it would be a "submodule" no more, but a subtree merge (also presented in the question Transferring legacy code base from cvs to distributed repository), linking the history of the two Git repo together.

Does that help understanding the true nature of Git Submodules?

Force Internet Explorer to use a specific Java Runtime Environment install?

I'd give all the responses here a try first. But I wanted to just throw in what I do, just in case these do not work for you.

I've tried to solve the same problem you're having before, and in the end, what I decided on doing is to have only one JRE installed on my system at a given time. I do have about 10 different JDKs (1.3 through 1.6, and from various vendors - Sun, Oracle, IBM), since I do need it for development, but only one standalone JRE.

This has worked for me on my Windows 2000 + IE 6 computer at home, as well as my Windows XP + Multiple IE computer at work.

How to add screenshot to READMEs in github repository?

If you use Markdown (README.md):

Provided that you have the image in your repo, you can use a relative URL:

![Alt text](/relative/path/to/img.jpg?raw=true "Optional Title")

If you need to embed an image that's hosted elsewhere, you can use a full URL

![Alt text](http://full/path/to/img.jpg "Optional title")

GitHub recommend that you use relative links with the ?raw=true parameter to ensure forked repos point correctly.

The raw=true parameter is there in order to ensure the image you link to, will be rendered as is. That means that only the image will be linked to, not the whole GitHub interface for that respective file. See this comment for more details.

Check out an example: https://raw.github.com/altercation/solarized/master/README.md

If you use SVGs then you'll need to set the sanitize attribute to true as well: ?raw=true&sanitize=true. (Thanks @EliSherer)

Also, the documentation on relative links in README files: https://help.github.com/articles/relative-links-in-readmes

And of course the markdown docs: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

Additionally, if you create a new branch screenshots to store the images you can avoid them being in the master working tree

You can then embed them using:

![Alt text](/../<branch name>/path/to/image.png?raw=true "Optional Title")

What is the benefit of using "SET XACT_ABORT ON" in a stored procedure?

How to filter by object property in angularJS

The documentation has the complete answer. Anyway this is how it is done:

<input type="text" ng-model="filterValue">
<li ng-repeat="i in data | filter:{age:filterValue}:true"> {{i | json }}</li>

will filter only age in data array and true is for exact match.

For deep filtering,

<li ng-repeat="i in data | filter:{$:filterValue}:true"> {{i}}</li>

The $ is a special property for deep filter and the true is for exact match like above.

IN vs OR in the SQL WHERE Clause

The best way to find out is looking at the Execution Plan.

I tried it with Oracle, and it was exactly the same.

CREATE TABLE performance_test AS ( SELECT * FROM dba_objects );

SELECT * FROM performance_test
WHERE object_name IN ('DBMS_STANDARD', 'DBMS_REGISTRY', 'DBMS_LOB' );

Even though the query uses IN, the Execution Plan says that it uses OR:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    
| Id  | Operation         | Name             | Rows  | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT  |                  |     8 |  1416 |   163   (2)| 00:00:02 |    
|*  1 |  TABLE ACCESS FULL| PERFORMANCE_TEST |     8 |  1416 |   163   (2)| 00:00:02 |    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):                                       
---------------------------------------------------                                       

   1 - filter("OBJECT_NAME"='DBMS_LOB' OR "OBJECT_NAME"='DBMS_REGISTRY' OR                
              "OBJECT_NAME"='DBMS_STANDARD')

Creating a Facebook share button with customized url, title and image

Unfortunately, it appears that we can't post shares for individual topics or articles within a page. It appears Facebook just wants us to share entire pages (based on url only).

There's also their new share dialog, but even though they claim it can do all of what the old sharer.php could do, that doesn't appear to be true.

And here's Facebooks 'best practices' for sharing.

Java 8 lambdas, Function.identity() or t->t

In your example there is no big difference between str -> str and Function.identity() since internally it is simply t->t.

But sometimes we can't use Function.identity because we can't use a Function. Take a look here:

List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add(1);
list.add(2);

this will compile fine

int[] arrayOK = list.stream().mapToInt(i -> i).toArray();

but if you try to compile

int[] arrayProblem = list.stream().mapToInt(Function.identity()).toArray();

you will get compilation error since mapToInt expects ToIntFunction, which is not related to Function. Also ToIntFunction doesn't have identity() method.

How to set web.config file to show full error message

If you're using ASP.NET MVC you might also need to remove the HandleErrorAttribute from the Global.asax.cs file:

Android soft keyboard covers EditText field

The above solution work perfectly but if you are using Fullscreen activity(translucent status bar) then these solutions might not work. so for fullscreen use this code inside your onCreate function on your Activity.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        Window w = getWindow();
        w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN , WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN );
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_STATUS_BAR);
    }

Example:

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        Window w = getWindow();
        w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN , WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN );
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_STATUS_BAR);
    }
    
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

PHP "php://input" vs $_POST

          <input type="text" name="textfield"><br /> 
          <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="submit"> 
        </form> 
   <?php  
        } else { 
        $example = file_get_contents("php://input");
        echo $example;  }

How to open generated pdf using jspdf in new window

Or... You can use Blob to achive this.

Like:

pdf.addHTML($('#content'), y, x, options, function () {

});

That code let you create a Blob object inside the browser and show it in the new tab.

JUnit 5: How to assert an exception is thrown?

I think this is an even simpler example

List<String> emptyList = new ArrayList<>();
Optional<String> opt2 = emptyList.stream().findFirst();
assertThrows(NoSuchElementException.class, () -> opt2.get());

Calling get() on an optional containing an empty ArrayList will throw a NoSuchElementException. assertThrows declares the expected exception and provides a lambda supplier (takes no arguments and returns a value).

Thanks to @prime for his answer which I hopefully elaborated on.

System.Net.WebException HTTP status code

You can try this code to get HTTP status code from WebException. It works in Silverlight too because SL does not have WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError defined.

    {
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)we.Response;
        return response.StatusCode;
    }
    return null;
}

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_

.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_

HashMap(key: String, value: ArrayList) returns an Object instead of ArrayList?

How is the HashMap declaration expressed in that scope? It should be:

HashMap<String, ArrayList> dictMap

If not, it is assumed to be Objects.

For instance, if your code is:

HashMap dictMap = new HashMap<String, ArrayList>();
...
ArrayList current = dictMap.get(dictCode);

that will not work. Instead you want:

HashMap<String, ArrayList> dictMap = new HashMap<String, Arraylist>();
...
ArrayList current = dictMap.get(dictCode);

The way generics work is that the type information is available to the compiler, but is not available at runtime. This is called type erasure. The implementation of HashMap (or any other generics implementation) is dealing with Object. The type information is there for type safety checks during compile time. See the Generics documentation.

Also note that ArrayList is also implemented as a generic class, and thus you might want to specify a type there as well. Assuming your ArrayList contains your class MyClass, the line above might be:

HashMap<String, ArrayList<MyClass>> dictMap

jQuery Set Select Index

Select the item based on the value in the select list (especially if the option values have a space or weird character in it) by simply doing this:

$("#SelectList option").each(function () {
    if ($(this).val() == "1:00 PM")
        $(this).attr('selected', 'selected');
});

Also, if you have a dropdown (as opposed to a multi-select) you may want to do a break; so you don't get the first-value-found to be overwritten.

System.currentTimeMillis vs System.nanoTime

System.nanoTime() isn't supported in older JVMs. If that is a concern, stick with currentTimeMillis

Regarding accuracy, you are almost correct. On SOME Windows machines, currentTimeMillis() has a resolution of about 10ms (not 50ms). I'm not sure why, but some Windows machines are just as accurate as Linux machines.

I have used GAGETimer in the past with moderate success.

How to perform runtime type checking in Dart?

Dart Object type has a runtimeType instance member (source is from dart-sdk v1.14, don't know if it was available earlier)

Split string with delimiters in C

I think the following solution is ideal:

Doesn't destroy the source string
Re-entrant - i.e., you can safely call it from anywhere in one or more threads
Portable
Handles multiple separators correctly
Fast and efficient

Explanation of the code:

Define a structure token to store the address and lengths of the tokens
Allocate enough memory for these in the worst case, which is when str is made up entirely of separators so there are strlen(str) + 1 tokens, all of them empty strings
Scan str recording the address and length of every token
Use this to allocate the output array of the correct size, including an extra space for a NULL sentinel value
Allocate, copy, and add the tokens using the start and length information - use memcpy as it's faster than strcpy and we know the lengths
Free the token address and length array
Return the array of tokens

typedef struct {
    const char *start;
    size_t len;
} token;

char **split(const char *str, char sep)
{
    char **array;
    unsigned int start = 0, stop, toks = 0, t;
    token *tokens = malloc((strlen(str) + 1) * sizeof(token));
    for (stop = 0; str[stop]; stop++) {
        if (str[stop] == sep) {
            tokens[toks].start = str + start;
            tokens[toks].len = stop - start;
            toks++;
            start = stop + 1;
        }
    }
    /* Mop up the last token */
    tokens[toks].start = str + start;
    tokens[toks].len = stop - start;
    toks++;
    array = malloc((toks + 1) * sizeof(char*));
    for (t = 0; t < toks; t++) {
        /* Calloc makes it nul-terminated */
        char *token = calloc(tokens[t].len + 1, 1);
        memcpy(token, tokens[t].start, tokens[t].len);
        array[t] = token;
    }
    /* Add a sentinel */
    array[t] = NULL; 
    free(tokens);
    return array;
}

Note malloc checking omitted for brevity.

In general, I wouldn't return an array of char * pointers from a split function like this as it places a lot of responsibility on the caller to free them correctly. An interface I prefer is to allow the caller to pass a callback function and call this for every token, as I have described here: Split a String in C.

Cannot change column used in a foreign key constraint

When you set keys (primary or foreign) you are setting constraints on how they can be used, which in turn limits what you can do with them. If you really want to alter the column, you could re-create the table without the constraints, although I'd recommend against it. Generally speaking, if you have a situation in which you want to do something, but it is blocked by a constraint, it's best resolved by changing what you want to do rather than the constraint.

How to overlay density plots in R?

ggplot2 is another graphics package that handles things like the range issue Gavin mentions in a pretty slick way. It also handles auto generating appropriate legends and just generally has a more polished feel in my opinion out of the box with less manual manipulation.

library(ggplot2)

#Sample data
dat <- data.frame(dens = c(rnorm(100), rnorm(100, 10, 5))
                   , lines = rep(c("a", "b"), each = 100))
#Plot.
ggplot(dat, aes(x = dens, fill = lines)) + geom_density(alpha = 0.5)

Google Maps Api v3 - find nearest markers

I'd like to expand on Leor's suggestion for anyone confused on how to compute the nearest location and actually provide a working solution:

I'm using markers in a markers array e.g. var markers = [];.

Then let's have our position as something like var location = new google.maps.LatLng(51.99, -0.74);

Then we simply reduce our markers against the location we have like so:

markers.reduce(function (prev, curr) {

    var cpos = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(location.position, curr.position);
    var ppos = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(location.position, prev.position);

    return cpos < ppos ? curr : prev;

}).position

What pops out is your closest marker LatLng object.

Returning boolean if set is empty

Not as clean as bool(c) but it was an excuse to use ternary.

def myfunc(a,b):
    return True if a.intersection(b) else False

Also using a bit of the same logic there is no need to assign to c unless you are using it for something else.

def myfunc(a,b):
    return bool(a.intersection(b))

Finally, I would assume you want a True / False value because you are going to perform some sort of boolean test with it. I would recommend skipping the overhead of a function call and definition by simply testing where you need it.

Instead of:

if (myfunc(a,b)):
    # Do something

Maybe this:

if a.intersection(b):
    # Do something

pandas groupby sort descending order

You can do a sort_values() on the dataframe before you do the groupby. Pandas preserves the ordering in the groupby.

How do you create a custom AuthorizeAttribute in ASP.NET Core?

If anyone just wants to validate a bearer token in the authorize phase using the current security practices you can,

add this to your Startup/ConfigureServices

    services.AddSingleton<IAuthorizationHandler, BearerAuthorizationHandler>();
    services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddJwtBearer();

    services.AddAuthorization(options => options.AddPolicy("Bearer",
        policy => policy.AddRequirements(new BearerRequirement())
        )
    );

and this in your codebase,

public class BearerRequirement : IAuthorizationRequirement
{
    public async Task<bool> IsTokenValid(SomeValidationContext context, string token)
    {
        // here you can check if the token received is valid 
        return true;
    }
}

public class BearerAuthorizationHandler : AuthorizationHandler<BearerRequirement> 
{

    public BearerAuthorizationHandler(SomeValidationContext thatYouCanInject)
    {
       ...
    }

    protected override async Task HandleRequirementAsync(AuthorizationHandlerContext context, BearerRequirement requirement)
    {
        var authFilterCtx = (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters.AuthorizationFilterContext)context.Resource;
        string authHeader = authFilterCtx.HttpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];
        if (authHeader != null && authHeader.Contains("Bearer"))
        {
            var token = authHeader.Replace("Bearer ", string.Empty);
            if (await requirement.IsTokenValid(thatYouCanInject, token))
            {
                context.Succeed(requirement);
            }
        }
    }
}

If the code doesn't reach context.Succeed(...) it will Fail anyway (401).

And then in your controllers you can use

 [Authorize(Policy = "Bearer", AuthenticationSchemes = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)]

Launch an app from within another (iPhone)

You can only launch apps that have registered a URL scheme. Then just like you open the SMS app by using sms:, you'll be able to open the app using their URL scheme.

There is a very good example available in the docs called LaunchMe which demonstrates this.

Regular expression to match numbers with or without commas and decimals in text

EDIT: Since this has gotten a lot of views, let me start by giving everybody what they Googled for:

#ALL THESE REQUIRE THE WHOLE STRING TO BE A NUMBER
#For numbers embedded in sentences, see discussion below

#### NUMBERS AND DECIMALS ONLY ####
#No commas allowed
#Pass: (1000.0), (001), (.001)
#Fail: (1,000.0)
^\d*\.?\d+$

#No commas allowed
#Can't start with "."
#Pass: (0.01)
#Fail: (.01)
^(\d+\.)?\d+$

#### CURRENCY ####
#No commas allowed
#"$" optional
#Can't start with "."
#Either 0 or 2 decimal digits
#Pass: ($1000), (1.00), ($0.11)
#Fail: ($1.0), (1.), ($1.000), ($.11)
^\$?\d+(\.\d{2})?$

#### COMMA-GROUPED ####
#Commas required between powers of 1,000
#Can't start with "."
#Pass: (1,000,000), (0.001)
#Fail: (1000000), (1,00,00,00), (.001)
^\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$

#Commas required
#Cannot be empty
#Pass: (1,000.100), (.001)
#Fail: (1000), ()
^(?=.)(\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*)?(\.\d+)?$

#Commas optional as long as they're consistent
#Can't start with "."
#Pass: (1,000,000), (1000000)
#Fail: (10000,000), (1,00,00)
^(\d+|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*)(\.\d+)?$

#### LEADING AND TRAILING ZEROES ####
#No commas allowed
#Can't start with "."
#No leading zeroes in integer part
#Pass: (1.00), (0.00)
#Fail: (001)
^([1-9]\d*|0)(\.\d+)?$

#No commas allowed
#Can't start with "."
#No trailing zeroes in decimal part
#Pass: (1), (0.1)
#Fail: (1.00), (0.1000)
^\d+(\.\d*[1-9])?$

Now that that's out of the way, most of the following is meant as commentary on how complex regex can get if you try to be clever with it, and why you should seek alternatives. Read at your own risk.

This is a very common task, but all the answers I see here so far will accept inputs that don't match your number format, such as ,111, 9,9,9, or even .,,.. That's simple enough to fix, even if the numbers are embedded in other text. IMHO anything that fails to pull 1,234.56 and 1234—and only those numbers—out of abc22 1,234.56 9.9.9.9 def 1234 is a wrong answer.

First of all, if you don't need to do this all in one regex, don't. A single regex for two different number formats is hard to maintain even when they aren't embedded in other text. What you should really do is split the whole thing on whitespace, then run two or three smaller regexes on the results. If that's not an option for you, keep reading.

Basic pattern

Considering the examples you've given, here's a simple regex that allows pretty much any integer or decimal in 0000 format and blocks everything else:

^\d*\.?\d+$

Here's one that requires 0,000 format:

^\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$

Put them together, and commas become optional as long as they're consistent:

^(\d*\.?\d+|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?)$

Embedded numbers

The patterns above require the entire input to be a number. You're looking for numbers embedded in text, so you have to loosen that part. On the other hand, you don't want it to see catch22 and think it's found the number 22. If you're using something with lookbehind support (like .NET), this is pretty easy: replace ^ with (?<!\S) and $ with (?!\S) and you're good to go:

(?<!\S)(\d*\.?\d+|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?)(?!\S)

If you're working with JavaScript or Ruby or something, things start looking more complex:

(?:^|\s)(\d*\.?\d+|\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})*(?:\.\d+)?)(?!\S)

You'll have to use capture groups; I can't think of an alternative without lookbehind support. The numbers you want will be in Group 1 (assuming the whole match is Group 0).

Validation and more complex rules

I think that covers your question, so if that's all you need, stop reading now. If you want to get fancier, things turn very complex very quickly. Depending on your situation, you may want to block any or all of the following:

Empty input
Leading zeroes (e.g. 000123)
Trailing zeroes (e.g. 1.2340000)
Decimals starting with the decimal point (e.g. .001 as opposed to 0.001)

Just for the hell of it, let's assume you want to block the first 3, but allow the last one. What should you do? I'll tell you what you should do, you should use a different regex for each rule and progressively narrow down your matches. But for the sake of the challenge, here's how you do it all in one giant pattern:

(?<!\S)(?=.)(0|([1-9](\d*|\d{0,2}(,\d{3})*)))?(\.\d*[1-9])?(?!\S)

And here's what it means:

(?<!\S) to (?!\S) #The whole match must be surrounded by either whitespace or line boundaries. So if you see something bogus like :;:9.:, ignore the 9.
(?=.)             #The whole thing can't be blank.

(                    #Rules for the integer part:
  0                  #1. The integer part could just be 0...
  |                  #
  [1-9]              #   ...otherwise, it can't have leading zeroes.
  (                  #
    \d*              #2. It could use no commas at all...
    |                #
    \d{0,2}(,\d{3})* #   ...or it could be comma-separated groups of 3 digits each.
  )                  # 
)?                   #3. Or there could be no integer part at all.

(       #Rules for the decimal part:
  \.    #1. It must start with a decimal point...
  \d*   #2. ...followed by a string of numeric digits only.
  [1-9] #3. It can't be just the decimal point, and it can't end in 0.
)?      #4. The whole decimal part is also optional. Remember, we checked at the beginning to make sure the whole thing wasn't blank.

Tested here: http://rextester.com/YPG96786

This will allow things like:

100,000
999.999
90.0009
1,000,023.999
0.111
.111
0

It will block things like:

1,1,1.111
000,001.111
999.
0.
111.110000
1.1.1.111
9.909,888

There are several ways to make this regex simpler and shorter, but understand that changing the pattern will loosen what it considers a number.

Since many regex engines (e.g. JavaScript and Ruby) don't support the negative lookbehind, the only way to do this correctly is with capture groups:

(:?^|\s)(?=.)((?:0|(?:[1-9](?:\d*|\d{0,2}(?:,\d{3})*)))?(?:\.\d*[1-9])?)(?!\S)

The numbers you're looking for will be in capture group 1.

One final note

Obviously, this is a massive, complicated, nigh-unreadable regex. I enjoyed the challenge, but you should consider whether you really want to use this in a production environment. Instead of trying to do everything in one step, you could do it in two: a regex to catch anything that might be a number, then another one to weed out whatever isn't a number. Or you could do some basic processing, then use your language's built-in number parsing functions. Your choice.

Prevent wrapping of span or div

Particularly when using something like Twitter's Bootstrap, white-space: nowrap; doesn't always work in CSS when applying padding or margin to a child div. Instead however, adding an equivalent border: 20px solid transparent; style in place of padding/margin works more consistently.

Confused about UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK

Why would UPDLOCK block selects? The Lock Compatibility Matrix clearly shows N for the S/U and U/S contention, as in No Conflict.

As for the HOLDLOCK hint the documentation states:

HOLDLOCK: Is equivalent to SERIALIZABLE. For more information, see SERIALIZABLE later in this topic.

...

SERIALIZABLE: ... The scan is performed with the same semantics as a transaction running at the SERIALIZABLE isolation level...

and the Transaction Isolation Level topic explains what SERIALIZABLE means:

No other transactions can modify data that has been read by the current transaction until the current transaction completes.

Other transactions cannot insert new rows with key values that would fall in the range of keys read by any statements in the current transaction until the current transaction completes.

Therefore the behavior you see is perfectly explained by the product documentation:

UPDLOCK does not block concurrent SELECT nor INSERT, but blocks any UPDATE or DELETE of the rows selected by T1
HOLDLOCK means SERALIZABLE and therefore allows SELECTS, but blocks UPDATE and DELETES of the rows selected by T1, as well as any INSERT in the range selected by T1 (which is the entire table, therefore any insert).
(UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK): your experiment does not show what would block in addition to the case above, namely another transaction with UPDLOCK in T2:
SELECT * FROM dbo.Test WITH (UPDLOCK) WHERE ...
TABLOCKX no need for explanations

The real question is what are you trying to achieve? Playing with lock hints w/o an absolute complete 110% understanding of the locking semantics is begging for trouble...

After OP edit:

I would like to select rows from a table and prevent the data in that table from being modified while I am processing it.

The you should use one of the higher transaction isolation levels. REPEATABLE READ will prevent the data you read from being modified. SERIALIZABLE will prevent the data you read from being modified and new data from being inserted. Using transaction isolation levels is the right approach, as opposed to using query hints. Kendra Little has a nice poster exlaining the isolation levels.

How do I create an .exe for a Java program?

Launch4j perhaps? Can't say I've used it myself, but it sounds like what you're after.

Calling a JavaScript function returned from an Ajax response

I solved this today by putting my JavaScript at the bottom of the response HTML.

I had an AJAX request that returned a bunch of HTML that was displayed in an overlay. I needed to attach a click event to a button in the returned response HTML/overlay. On a normal page, I would wrap my JavaScript in a "window.onload" or "$(document).ready" so that it would attach the event handler to the DOM object after the DOM for the new overlay had been rendered, but because this was an AJAX response and not a new page load, that event never happened, the browser never executed my JavaScript, my event handler never got attached to the DOM element, and my new piece of functionality didn't work. Again, I solved my "executing JavaScript in an AJAX response problem" by not using "$(document).ready" in the head of the document, but by placing my JavaScript at the end of the document and having it run after the HTML/DOM had been rendered.

How can I open a .tex file?

A .tex file should be a LaTeX source file.

If this is the case, that file contains the source code for a LaTeX document. You can open it with any text editor (notepad, notepad++ should work) and you can view the source code. But if you want to view the final formatted document, you need to install a LaTeX distribution and compile the .tex file.

Of course, any program can write any file with any extension, so if this is not a LaTeX document, then we can't know what software you need to install to open it. Maybe if you upload the file somewhere and link it in your question we can see the file and provide more help to you.

Yes, this is the source code of a LaTeX document. If you were able to paste it here, then you are already viewing it. If you want to view the compiled document, you need to install a LaTeX distribution. You can try to install MiKTeX then you can use that to compile the document to a .pdf file.

You can also check out this question and answer for how to do it: How to compile a LaTeX document?

Also, there's an online LaTeX editor and you can paste your code in there to preview the document: https://www.overleaf.com/.

Error inflating when extending a class

Another possible cause of the "Error inflating class" message could be misspelling the full package name where it's specified in XML:

<com.alpenglow.androcap.GhostSurfaceCameraView android:id="@+id/ghostview_cameraview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

Opening your layout XML file in the Eclipse XML editor should highlight this problem.

MacOS Xcode CoreSimulator folder very big. Is it ok to delete content?

That directory is part of your user data and you can delete any user data without affecting Xcode seriously. You can delete the whole CoreSimulator/ directory. Xcode will recreate fresh instances there for you when you do your next simulator run. If you can afford losing any previous simulator data of your apps this is the easy way to get space.

How do I multiply each element in a list by a number?

You can just use a list comprehension:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
my_new_list = [i * 5 for i in my_list]

>>> print(my_new_list)
[5, 10, 15, 20, 25]

Note that a list comprehension is generally a more efficient way to do a for loop:

my_new_list = []
for i in my_list:
    my_new_list.append(i * 5)

>>> print(my_new_list)
[5, 10, 15, 20, 25]

As an alternative, here is a solution using the popular Pandas package:

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series(my_list)

>>> s * 5
0     5
1    10
2    15
3    20
4    25
dtype: int64

Or, if you just want the list:

>>> (s * 5).tolist()
[5, 10, 15, 20, 25]

'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I'm fairly certain that the ls command is for Linux, not Windows (I'm assuming you're using Windows as you referred to cmd, which is the command line for the Windows OS).

You should use dir instead, which is the Windows equivalent of ls.

Edit (since this post seems to be getting so many views :) ):

You can't use ls on cmd as it's not shipped with Windows, but you can use it on other terminal programs (such as GitBash). Note, ls might work on some FTP servers if the servers are linux based and the FTP is being used from cmd.

dir on Windows is similar to ls. To find out the various options available, just do dir/?.

If you really want to use ls, you could install 3rd party tools to allow you to run unix commands on Windows. Such a program is Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux (link to docs).

How to solve SyntaxError on autogenerated manage.py?

You can solve this by adapting the code in your manage.py file to the following

if __name__ == "__main__":
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "djangochallenge.settings")
    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError:
        try:
            import django
        except ImportError:
            raise ImportError(
                "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
                "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
                "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
            )
        raise
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

and your server should work fine.

Specify multiple attribute selectors in CSS

Simple input[name=Sex][value=M] would do pretty nice. And it's actually well-described in the standard doc:

Multiple attribute selectors can be used to refer to several attributes of an element, or even several times to the same attribute.

Here, the selector matches all SPAN elements whose "hello" attribute has exactly the value "Cleveland" and whose "goodbye" attribute has exactly the value "Columbus":

span[hello="Cleveland"][goodbye="Columbus"] { color: blue; }

As a side note, using quotation marks around an attribute value is required only if this value is not a valid identifier.

JSFiddle Demo

Is there a destructor for Java?

With Java 1.7 released, you now have the additional option of using the try-with-resources block. For example,

public class Closeable implements AutoCloseable {
    @Override
    public void close() {
        System.out.println("closing..."); 
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try (Closeable c = new Closeable()) {
            System.out.println("trying..."); 
            throw new Exception("throwing..."); 
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("catching..."); 
        }
        finally {
            System.out.println("finalizing..."); 
        } 
    }
}

If you execute this class, c.close() will be executed when the try block is left, and before the catch and finally blocks are executed. Unlike in the case of the finalize() method, close() is guaranteed to be executed. However, there is no need of executing it explicitly in the finally clause.

Why should I use a pointer rather than the object itself?

This is has been discussed at length, but in Java everything is a pointer. It makes no distinction between stack and heap allocations (all objects are allocated on the heap), so you don't realize you're using pointers. In C++, you can mix the two, depending on your memory requirements. Performance and memory usage is more deterministic in C++ (duh).

Submit HTML form, perform javascript function (alert then redirect)

</form>

Changing action to point at your function would solve the problem, in a different way.

$ sphp 7.0 => PHP 7.0
$ sphp 7.3 => PHP 7.3
$ sphp 7.4 => PHP 7.4

Exactly what I want!

How to predict input image using trained model in Keras?

You can use model.predict() to predict the class of a single image as follows [doc]:

# load_model_sample.py
from keras.models import load_model
from keras.preprocessing import image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import os


def load_image(img_path, show=False):

    img = image.load_img(img_path, target_size=(150, 150))
    img_tensor = image.img_to_array(img)                    # (height, width, channels)
    img_tensor = np.expand_dims(img_tensor, axis=0)         # (1, height, width, channels), add a dimension because the model expects this shape: (batch_size, height, width, channels)
    img_tensor /= 255.                                      # imshow expects values in the range [0, 1]

    if show:
        plt.imshow(img_tensor[0])                           
        plt.axis('off')
        plt.show()

    return img_tensor


if __name__ == "__main__":

    # load model
    model = load_model("model_aug.h5")

    # image path
    img_path = '/media/data/dogscats/test1/3867.jpg'    # dog
    #img_path = '/media/data/dogscats/test1/19.jpg'      # cat

    # load a single image
    new_image = load_image(img_path)

    # check prediction
    pred = model.predict(new_image)

In this example, a image is loaded as a numpy array with shape (1, height, width, channels). Then, we load it into the model and predict its class, returned as a real value in the range [0, 1] (binary classification in this example).

Python BeautifulSoup extract text between element

You can use .contents:

>>> for hit in soup.findAll(attrs={'class' : 'MYCLASS'}):
...     print hit.contents[6].strip()
... 
THIS IS MY TEXT

jQuery: load txt file and insert into div

Try

$(".text").text(data);

Or to convert the data received to a string.

JavaScript, get date of the next day

Copy-pasted from here: Incrementing a date in JavaScript

Three options for you:

Using just JavaScript's Date object (no libraries):
var today = new Date();
var tomorrow = new Date(today.getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
Or if you don't mind changing the date in place (rather than creating a new date):
var dt = new Date();
dt.setTime(dt.getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
Edit: See also Jigar's answer and David's comment below: var tomorrow = new Date(); tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);

Using MomentJS:
var today = moment();
var tomorrow = moment(today).add(1, 'days');
(Beware that add modifies the instance you call it on, rather than returning a new instance, so today.add(1, 'days') would modify today. That's why we start with a cloning op on var tomorrow = ....)

Using DateJS, but it hasn't been updated in a long time:
var today = new Date(); // Or Date.today()
var tomorrow = today.add(1).day();

How to change background Opacity when bootstrap modal is open

You can override the modal-backdrop opacity in your stylesheet [take note of the .in class]

Index inside map() function

You will be able to get the current iteration's index for the map method through its 2nd parameter.

Example:

const list = [ 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];
list.map((currElement, index) => {
  console.log("The current iteration is: " + index);
  console.log("The current element is: " + currElement);
  console.log("\n");
  return currElement; //equivalent to list[index]
});

Output:

The current iteration is: 0 <br>The current element is: h

The current iteration is: 1 <br>The current element is: e

The current iteration is: 2 <br>The current element is: l

The current iteration is: 3 <br>The current element is: l 

The current iteration is: 4 <br>The current element is: o

Parameters

callback - Function that produces an element of the new Array, taking three arguments:

1) currentValue
The current element being processed in the array.

2) index
The index of the current element being processed in the array.

3) array
The array map was called upon.

Android Canvas.drawText

Worked this out, turns out that android.R.color.black is not the same as Color.BLACK. Changed the code to:

Paint paint = new Paint(); 
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE); 
paint.setStyle(Style.FILL); 
canvas.drawPaint(paint); 

paint.setColor(Color.BLACK); 
paint.setTextSize(20); 
canvas.drawText("Some Text", 10, 25, paint);

and it all works fine now!!

Open soft keyboard programmatically

In your manifest file, try adding the following to the <activity> that you want to show the keyboard when the activity starts:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible"

This should cause the keyboard to become visible when the activity starts.

Increasing Google Chrome's max-connections-per-server limit to more than 6

There doesn't appear to be an external way to hack the behaviour of the executables.

You could modify the Chrome(ium) executables as this information is obviously compiled in. That approach brings a lot of problems with support and automatic upgrades so you probably want to avoid doing that. You also need to understand how to make the changes to the binaries which is not something most people can pick up in a few days.

If you compile your own browser you are creating a support issue for yourself as you are stuck with a specific revision. If you want to get new features and bug fixes you will have to recompile. All of this involves tracking Chrome development for bugs and build breakages - not something that a web developer should have to do.

I'd follow @BenSwayne's advice for now, but it might be worth thinking about doing some of the work outside of the client (the web browser) and putting it in a background process running on the same or different machines. This process can handle many more connections and you are just responsible for getting the data back from it. Since it is local(ish) you'll get results back quickly even with minimal connections.

Linking static libraries to other static libraries

On Linux or MingW, with GNU toolchain:

ar -M <<EOM
    CREATE libab.a
    ADDLIB liba.a
    ADDLIB libb.a
    SAVE
    END
EOM
ranlib libab.a

Of if you do not delete liba.a and libb.a, you can make a "thin archive":

ar crsT libab.a liba.a libb.a

On Windows, with MSVC toolchain:

lib.exe /OUT:libab.lib liba.lib libb.lib

How can I use an array of function pointers?

Here's how you can use it:

New_Fun.h

#ifndef NEW_FUN_H_
#define NEW_FUN_H_

#include <stdio.h>

typedef int speed;
speed fun(int x);

enum fp {
    f1, f2, f3, f4, f5
};

void F1();
void F2();
void F3();
void F4();
void F5();
#endif

New_Fun.c

#include "New_Fun.h"

speed fun(int x)
{
    int Vel;
    Vel = x;
    return Vel;
}

void F1()
{
    printf("From F1\n");
}

void F2()
{
    printf("From F2\n");
}

void F3()
{
    printf("From F3\n");
}

void F4()
{
    printf("From F4\n");
}

void F5()
{
    printf("From F5\n");
}

Main.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include "New_Fun.h"

int main()
{
    int (*F_P)(int y);
    void (*F_A[5])() = { F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 };    // if it is int the pointer incompatible is bound to happen
    int xyz, i;

    printf("Hello Function Pointer!\n");
    F_P = fun;
    xyz = F_P(5);
    printf("The Value is %d\n", xyz);
    //(*F_A[5]) = { F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 };
    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        F_A[i]();
    }
    printf("\n\n");
    F_A[f1]();
    F_A[f2]();
    F_A[f3]();
    F_A[f4]();
    return 0;
}

I hope this helps in understanding Function Pointer.

Closing WebSocket correctly (HTML5, Javascript)

How to configure heroku application DNS to Godaddy Domain?

Yes, many changes at Heroku. If you're using a Heroku dyno for your webserver, you have to find way to alias from one DNS name to another DNS name (since each Heroku DNS endpoint may resolve to many IP addrs to dynamically adjust to request loads).

A CNAME record is for aliasing www.example.com -> www.example.com.herokudns.com.

You can't use CNAME for a naked domain (@), i.e. example.com (unless you find a name server that can do CNAME Flattening - which is what I did).

But really the easiest solution, that can pretty much be taken care of all in your GoDaddy account, is to create a CNAME record that does this: www.example.com -> www.example.com.herokudns.com.

And then create a permanent 301 redirect from example.com to www.example.com.

This requires only one heroku custom domain name configured in your heroku app settings: www.example.com.herokudns.com. @Jonathan Roy talks about this (above) but provides a bad link.

How to remove item from array by value?

When you need to remove a value present multiple times in the array(e.g. [1,2,2,2, 4, 5,6]).

function removeFrmArr(array, element) {
  return array.filter(e => e !== element);
};
var exampleArray = [1,2,3,4,5];
removeFrmArr(exampleArray, 3);
// return value like this
//[1, 2, 4, 5]

You can use splice to remove a single element from the array but splice can't remove multiple similar elements from the array.

function singleArrayRemove(array, value){
  var index = array.indexOf(value);
  if (index > -1) array.splice(index, 1);
  return array;
}
var exampleArray = [1,2,3,4,5,5];
singleArrayRemove(exampleArray, 5);
// return value like this
//[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

HTTP post XML data in C#

In General:

An example of an easy way to post XML data and get the response (as a string) would be the following function:

public string postXMLData(string destinationUrl, string requestXml)
{
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(destinationUrl);
    byte[] bytes;
    bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(requestXml);
    request.ContentType = "text/xml; encoding='utf-8'";
    request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
    request.Method = "POST";
    Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
    requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
    requestStream.Close();
    HttpWebResponse response;
    response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
    if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
    {
        Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        string responseStr = new StreamReader(responseStream).ReadToEnd();
        return responseStr;
    }
    return null;
}

In your specific situation:

Instead of:

request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

use:

request.ContentType = "text/xml; encoding='utf-8'";

Also, remove:

string postData = "XMLData=" + Sendingxml;

And replace:

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);

with:

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Sendingxml.ToString());

HTTP Headers for File Downloads

As explained by Alex's link you're probably missing the header Content-Disposition on top of Content-Type.

So something like this:

How to layout multiple panels on a jFrame? (java)

The JPanel is actually only a container where you can put different elements in it (even other JPanels). So in your case I would suggest one big JPanel as some sort of main container for your window. That main panel you assign a Layout that suits your needs ( here is an introduction to the layouts).

After you set the layout to your main panel you can add the paint panel and the other JPanels you want (like those with the text in it..).

  JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
  mainPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

  JPanel paintPanel = new JPanel();
  JPanel textPanel = new JPanel();

  mainPanel.add(paintPanel);
  mainPanel.add(textPanel);

This is just an example that sorts all sub panels vertically (Y-Axis). So if you want some other stuff at the bottom of your mainPanel (maybe some icons or buttons) that should be organized with another layout (like a horizontal layout), just create again a new JPanel as a container for all the other stuff and set setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS).

As you will find out, the layouts are quite rigid and it may be difficult to find the best layout for your panels. So don't give up, read the introduction (the link above) and look at the pictures – this is how I do it :)

Or you can just use NetBeans to write your program. There you have a pretty easy visual editor (drag and drop) to create all sorts of Windows and Frames. (only understanding the code afterwards is ... tricky sometimes.)

EDIT

Since there are some many people interested in this question, I wanted to provide a complete example of how to layout a JFrame to make it look like OP wants it to.

The class is called MyFrame and extends swings JFrame

public class MyFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame{

    // these are the components we need.
    private final JSplitPane splitPane;  // split the window in top and bottom
    private final JPanel topPanel;       // container panel for the top
    private final JPanel bottomPanel;    // container panel for the bottom
    private final JScrollPane scrollPane; // makes the text scrollable
    private final JTextArea textArea;     // the text
    private final JPanel inputPanel;      // under the text a container for all the input elements
    private final JTextField textField;   // a textField for the text the user inputs
    private final JButton button;         // and a "send" button

    public MyFrame(){

        // first, lets create the containers:
        // the splitPane devides the window in two components (here: top and bottom)
        // users can then move the devider and decide how much of the top component
        // and how much of the bottom component they want to see.
        splitPane = new JSplitPane();

        topPanel = new JPanel();         // our top component
        bottomPanel = new JPanel();      // our bottom component

        // in our bottom panel we want the text area and the input components
        scrollPane = new JScrollPane();  // this scrollPane is used to make the text area scrollable
        textArea = new JTextArea();      // this text area will be put inside the scrollPane

        // the input components will be put in a separate panel
        inputPanel = new JPanel();
        textField = new JTextField();    // first the input field where the user can type his text
        button = new JButton("send");    // and a button at the right, to send the text

        // now lets define the default size of our window and its layout:
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 400));     // let's open the window with a default size of 400x400 pixels
        // the contentPane is the container that holds all our components
        getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout());  // the default GridLayout is like a grid with 1 column and 1 row,
        // we only add one element to the window itself
        getContentPane().add(splitPane);               // due to the GridLayout, our splitPane will now fill the whole window

        // let's configure our splitPane:
        splitPane.setOrientation(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT);  // we want it to split the window verticaly
        splitPane.setDividerLocation(200);                    // the initial position of the divider is 200 (our window is 400 pixels high)
        splitPane.setTopComponent(topPanel);                  // at the top we want our "topPanel"
        splitPane.setBottomComponent(bottomPanel);            // and at the bottom we want our "bottomPanel"

        // our topPanel doesn't need anymore for this example. Whatever you want it to contain, you can add it here
        bottomPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(bottomPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS)); // BoxLayout.Y_AXIS will arrange the content vertically

        bottomPanel.add(scrollPane);                // first we add the scrollPane to the bottomPanel, so it is at the top
        scrollPane.setViewportView(textArea);       // the scrollPane should make the textArea scrollable, so we define the viewport
        bottomPanel.add(inputPanel);                // then we add the inputPanel to the bottomPanel, so it under the scrollPane / textArea

        // let's set the maximum size of the inputPanel, so it doesn't get too big when the user resizes the window
        inputPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(Integer.MAX_VALUE, 75));     // we set the max height to 75 and the max width to (almost) unlimited
        inputPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(inputPanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));   // X_Axis will arrange the content horizontally

        inputPanel.add(textField);        // left will be the textField
        inputPanel.add(button);           // and right the "send" button

        pack();   // calling pack() at the end, will ensure that every layout and size we just defined gets applied before the stuff becomes visible
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            @Override
            public void run(){
                new MyFrame().setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
}

Please be aware that this is only an example and there are multiple approaches to layout a window. It all depends on your needs and if you want the content to be resizable / responsive. Another really good approach would be the GridBagLayout which can handle quite complex layouting, but which is also quite complex to learn.

Failed to resolve version for org.apache.maven.archetypes

I had a similar problem building from just command line Maven. I eventually got past that error by adding -U to the maven arguments.

Depending on how you have your source repository configuration set up in your settings.xml, sometimes Maven fails to download a particular artifact, so it assumes that the artifact can't be downloaded, even if you change some settings that would give Maven visibility to the artifact if it just tried. -U forces Maven to look again.

Now you need to make sure that the artifact Maven is looking for is in at least one of the repositories that is referenced by your settings.xml. To know for sure, run

mvn help:effective-settings

from the directory of the module you are trying to build. That should give you, among other things, a complete list of the repositories you Maven is using to look for the artifact.

How can I specify system properties in Tomcat configuration on startup?

Generally you shouldn't rely on system properties to configure a webapp - they may be used to configure the container (e.g. Tomcat) but not an application running inside tomcat.

cliff.meyers has already mentioned the way you should rather use for your webapplication. That's the standard way, that also fits your question of being configurable through context.xml or server.xml means.

That said, should you really need system properties or other jvm options (like max memory settings) in tomcat, you should create a file named "bin/setenv.sh" or "bin/setenv.bat". These files do not exist in the standard archive that you download, but if they are present, the content is executed during startup (if you start tomcat via startup.sh/startup.bat). This is a nice way to separate your own settings from the standard tomcat settings and makes updates so much easier. No need to tweak startup.sh or catalina.sh.

(If you execute tomcat as windows servive, you usually use tomcat5w.exe, tomcat6w.exe etc. to configure the registry settings for the service.)

EDIT: Also, another possibility is to go for JNDI Resources.

List of ANSI color escape sequences

How about:

ECMA-48 - Control Functions for Coded Character Sets, 5th edition (June 1991) - A standard defining the color control codes, that is apparently supported also by xterm.

SGR 38 and 48 were originally reserved by ECMA-48, but were fleshed out a few years later in a joint ITU, IEC, and ISO standard, which comes in several parts and which (amongst a whole lot of other things) documents the SGR 38/48 control sequences for direct colour and indexed colour:

Information technology — Open Document Architecture (ODA) and interchange format: Document structures. T.412. International Telecommunication Union.
Information technology — Open Document Architecture (ODA) and interchange format: Character content architectures. T.416. International Telecommunication Union.
Information technology— Open Document Architecture (ODA) and Interchange Format: Character content architectures. ISO/IEC 8613-6:1994. International Organization for Standardization.

There's a column for xterm in this table on the Wikipedia page for ANSI escape codes

What regex will match every character except comma ',' or semi-colon ';'?

[^,;]+

You haven't specified the regex implementation you are using. Most of them have a Split method that takes delimiters and split by them. You might want to use that one with a "normal" (without ^) character class:

[,;]+

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S

Java: recommended solution for deep cloning/copying an instance

For deep cloning implement Serializable on every class you want to clone like this

public static class Obj implements Serializable {
    public int a, b;
    public Obj(int a, int b) {
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
    }
}

And then use this function:

public static Object deepClone(Object object) {
    try {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baOs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream oOs = new ObjectOutputStream(baOs);
        oOs.writeObject(object);
        ByteArrayInputStream baIs = new ByteArrayInputStream(baOs.toByteArray());
        ObjectInputStream oIs = new ObjectInputStream(baIs);
        return oIs.readObject();
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

like this: Obj newObject = (Obj)deepClone(oldObject);

jQuery or JavaScript auto click

You are trying to make a popup work maybe? I don't know how to emulate click, maybe you can try to fire click event somehow, but I don't know if it is possible. More than likely such functionality is not implemented, because of security and privacy concerns.

You can use div with position:absolute to emulate popup at the same page. If you insist creating another page, I cannot help you. Maybe somebody else with more experience will add his 15 cents.

How to print an exception in Python?

In Python 2.6 or greater it's a bit cleaner:

except Exception as e: print(e)

In older versions it's still quite readable:

except Exception, e: print e

How to select only the first rows for each unique value of a column?

You can use row_number() to get the row number of the row. It uses the over command - the partition by clause specifies when to restart the numbering and the order by selects what to order the row number on. Even if you added an order by to the end of your query, it would preserve the ordering in the over command when numbering.

select *
from mytable
where row_number() over(partition by Name order by AddressLine) = 1

View's getWidth() and getHeight() returns 0

One liner if you are using RxJava & RxBindings. Similar approach without the boilerplate. This also solves the hack to suppress warnings as in the answer by Tim Autin.

RxView.layoutChanges(yourView).take(1)
      .subscribe(aVoid -> {
           // width and height have been calculated here
      });

This is it. No need to be unsubscribe, even if never called.

Font from origin has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy

If you want to allow all the fonts from a folder for a specific domain then you can use this:

  <location path="assets/font">
    <system.webServer>
      <httpProtocol>
        <customHeaders>
          <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="http://localhost:3000" />
        </customHeaders>
      </httpProtocol>
    </system.webServer>
  </location>

where assets/font is the location where all fonts are and http://localhost:3000 is the location which you want to allow.

Resizing a button

Use inline styles:

<div class="button" style="width:60px;height:100px;">This is a button</div>

Cannot uninstall angular-cli

Try to update via these steps found in the npm repo for the angular cli.

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g angular-cli@latest

There is also an angular cli migration guide. One other option (more involved) is to start a new project and migrate over by copying and pasting certain files. This can be found here in the "moving into the cli" section of the angular-cli github

Delete data with foreign key in SQL Server table

If you wish the delete to be automatic, you need to change your schema so that the foreign key constraint is ON DELETE CASCADE.

For more information, see the MSDN page on Cascading Referential Integrity Constraints.

ETA (after clarification from the poster): If you can't update the schema, you have to manually DELETE the affected child records first.

What does "Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead" mean?

That's really an informational message.

Likely, you're doing OPTIMIZE on an InnoDB table (table using the InnoDB storage engine, rather than the MyISAM storage engine).

InnoDB doesn't support the OPTIMIZE the way MyISAM does. It does something different. It creates an empty table, and copies all of the rows from the existing table into it, and essentially deletes the old table and renames the new table, and then runs an ANALYZE to gather statistics. That's the closest that InnoDB can get to doing an OPTIMIZE.

The message you are getting is basically MySQL server repeating what the InnoDB storage engine told MySQL server:

Table does not support optimize is the InnoDB storage engine saying...

"I (the InnoDB storage engine) don't do an OPTIMIZE operation like my friend (the MyISAM storage engine) does."

"doing recreate + analyze instead" is the InnoDB storage engine saying...

"I have decided to perform a different set of operations which will achieve an equivalent result."

How can I combine flexbox and vertical scroll in a full-height app?

The current spec says this regarding flex: 1 1 auto:

Sizes the item based on the width/height properties, but makes them fully flexible, so that they absorb any free space along the main axis. If all items are either flex: auto, flex: initial, or flex: none, any positive free space after the items have been sized will be distributed evenly to the items with flex: auto.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-css3-flexbox-20120918/#flex-common

It sounds to me like if you say an element is 100px tall, it is treated more like a "suggested" size, not an absolute. Because it is allowed to shrink and grow, it takes up as much space as its allowed to. That's why adding this line to your "main" element works: height: 0 (or any other smallish number).

AmazonS3 putObject with InputStream length example

Just passing the file object to the putobject method worked for me. If you are getting a stream, try writing it to a temp file before passing it on to S3.

amazonS3.putObject(bucketName, id,fileObject);

Adding null values to arraylist

You can add nulls to the ArrayList, and you will have to check for nulls in the loop:

for(Item i : itemList) {
   if (i != null) {

   }
}

itemsList.size(); would take the null into account.

 List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
 list.add(null);
 list.add (5);
 System.out.println (list.size());
 for (Integer value : list) {
   if (value == null)
       System.out.println ("null value");
   else 
       System.out.println (value);
 }

Output :

2
null value
5

Drop multiple tables in one shot in MySQL

SET foreign_key_checks = 0;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS a,b,c;
SET foreign_key_checks = 1;

Then you do not have to worry about dropping them in the correct order, nor whether they actually exist.

N.B. this is for MySQL only (as in the question). Other databases likely have different methods for doing this.

Remove all special characters from a string in R?

Convert the Special characters to apostrophe,

Data  <- gsub("[^0-9A-Za-z///' ]","'" , Data ,ignore.case = TRUE)

Below code it to remove extra ''' apostrophe

Data <- gsub("''","" , Data ,ignore.case = TRUE)

Use gsub(..) function for replacing the special character with apostrophe

Angular 2.0 and Modal Dialog

Now available as a NPM package

angular-custom-modal

@Stephen Paul continuation...

Angular 2 and up Bootstrap css (animation is preserved)
NO JQuery
NO bootstrap.js
Supports custom modal content
Support for multiple modals on top of each other.
Moduralized
Disable scroll when modal is open
Modal gets destroyed when navigating away.
Lazy content initialization, which gets ngOnDestroy(ed) when the modal is exited.
Parent scrolling disabled when modal is visible

Lazy content initialization

Why?

In some cases you might not want to modal to retain its status after having been closed, but rather restored to the initial state.

Original modal issue

Passing the content straightforward into the view actually generates initializes it even before the modal gets it. The modal doesn't have a way to kill such content even if using a *ngIf wrapper.

Solution

ng-template. ng-template doesn't render until ordered to do so.

my-component.module.ts

...
imports: [
  ...
  ModalModule
]

my-component.ts

<button (click)="reuseModal.open()">Open</button>
<app-modal #reuseModal>
  <ng-template #header></ng-template>
  <ng-template #body>
    <app-my-body-component>
      <!-- This component will be created only when modal is visible and will be destroyed when it's not. -->
    </app-my-body-content>
    <ng-template #footer></ng-template>
</app-modal>

modal.component.ts

export class ModalComponent ... {
  @ContentChild('header') header: TemplateRef<any>;
  @ContentChild('body') body: TemplateRef<any>;
  @ContentChild('footer') footer: TemplateRef<any>;
 ...
}

modal.component.html

<div ... *ngIf="visible">
  ...
  <div class="modal-body">
    ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="body"></ng-container>
  </div>

References

I have to say that it wouldn't have been possible without the excellent official and community documentation around the net. It might help some of you too to understand better how ng-template, *ngTemplateOutlet and @ContentChild work.
