How to select a CRAN mirror in R

I'm a fan of:

chooseCRANmirror()

Which will print the list of mirrors in the output (no worrying a popup window since you are running it from the terminal) and then you enter the number you want.

How to tell CRAN to install package dependencies automatically?

Another possibility is to select the Install Dependencies checkbox In the R package installer, on the bottom right:

Get last n lines of a file, similar to tail

Not the first example using a deque, but a simpler one. This one is general: it works on any iterable object, not just a file.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import collections
def tail(iterable, N):
    deq = collections.deque()
    for thing in iterable:
        if len(deq) >= N:
            deq.popleft()
        deq.append(thing)
    for thing in deq:
        yield thing
if __name__ == '__main__':
    for line in tail(sys.stdin,10):
        sys.stdout.write(line)

Enter key in textarea

You could do something like this:

<body>

<textarea id="txtArea" onkeypress="onTestChange();"></textarea>

<script>
function onTestChange() {
    var key = window.event.keyCode;

    // If the user has pressed enter
    if (key === 13) {
        document.getElementById("txtArea").value = document.getElementById("txtArea").value + "\n*";
        return false;
    }
    else {
        return true;
    }
}
</script>

</body>

Although the new line character feed from pressing enter will still be there, but its a start to getting what you want.

Why is a "GRANT USAGE" created the first time I grant a user privileges?

I was trying to find the meaning of GRANT USAGE on *.* TO and found here. I can clarify that GRANT USAGE on *.* TO user IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD password will be granted when you create the user with the following command (CREATE):

CREATE USER 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

When you grant privilege with GRANT, new privilege s will be added on top of it.

Array of PHP Objects

Yes, its possible to have array of objects in PHP.

class MyObject {
  private $property;

  public function  __construct($property) {
    $this->Property = $property;
  }
}
$ListOfObjects[] = new myObject(1); 
$ListOfObjects[] = new myObject(2); 
$ListOfObjects[] = new myObject(3); 
$ListOfObjects[] = new myObject(4); 

print "<pre>";
print_r($ListOfObjects);
print "</pre>";

How to get the number of columns in a matrix?

When want to get row size with size() function, below code can be used:

size(A,1)

Another usage for it:

[height, width] = size(A)

So, you can get 2 dimension of your matrix.

Greater than and less than in one statement

If this is really bothering you, why not write your own method isBetween(orderBean.getFiles().size(),0,5)?

Another option is to use isEmpty as it is a tad clearer:

if(!orderBean.getFiles().isEmpty() && orderBean.getFiles().size() < 5)

How can I find the version of the Fedora I use?

What about uname -a ?

How to install a Notepad++ plugin offline?

Here are the steps that worked for me:

Download the plugin and extract the plugin dll file.
Place the plugin.dll file under plugin folder of notepad++ installation. For me it was : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins
Go to Notepad++ then : Settings -> Import -> Import plugin (import the plugin).
Notepad++ will show the restart message / Sometimes it may not show it.
Restart the notepad++.
Should see new plugin under the Plugins menu. ALL DONE!!

Erase the current printed console line

i iterates through char array words. j keeps track of word length. "\b \b" erases word while backing over line.

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i = 0, j = 0;

    char words[] = "Hello Bye";

    while(words[i]!='\0')
    {
        if(words[i] != ' ') {
            printf("%c", words[i]);
        fflush(stdout);
        }
        else {
            //system("ping -n 1 127.0.0.1>NUL");  //For Microsoft OS
            system("sleep 0.25");
            while(j-->0) {
                printf("\b \b");
            }
        }

        i++;
        j++;
    }

printf("\n");                   
return 0;
}

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

Based on Vamsi Tallapudis earlier answer I came up with this dynamic path:

%LOCALAPPDATA%/Android\sdk\platform-tools

It's using a Windows Environment Variables. I find this solution to be both elegant and easy and would therefor like to share it.

When should I use a table variable vs temporary table in sql server?

Use a table variable if for a very small quantity of data (thousands of bytes)

Use a temporary table for a lot of data

Another way to think about it: if you think you might benefit from an index, automated statistics, or any SQL optimizer goodness, then your data set is probably too large for a table variable.

In my example, I just wanted to put about 20 rows into a format and modify them as a group, before using them to UPDATE / INSERT a permanent table. So a table variable is perfect.

But I am also running SQL to back-fill thousands of rows at a time, and I can definitely say that the temporary tables perform much better than table variables.

This is not unlike how CTE's are a concern for a similar size reason - if the data in the CTE is very small, I find a CTE performs as good as or better than what the optimizer comes up with, but if it is quite large then it hurts you bad.

My understanding is mostly based on http://www.developerfusion.com/article/84397/table-variables-v-temporary-tables-in-sql-server/, which has a lot more detail.

Convert UTC dates to local time in PHP

Answer

Convert the UTC datetime to America/Denver

// create a $dt object with the UTC timezone
$dt = new DateTime('2016-12-12 12:12:12', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

// change the timezone of the object without changing it's time
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/Denver'));

// format the datetime
$dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s T');

Notes

time() returns the unix timestamp, which is a number, it has no timezone.

date('Y-m-d H:i:s T') returns the date in the current locale timezone.

gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s T') returns the date in UTC

date_default_timezone_set() changes the current locale timezone

to change a time in a timezone

// create a $dt object with the America/Denver timezone
$dt = new DateTime('2016-12-12 12:12:12', new DateTimeZone('America/Denver'));

// change the timezone of the object without changing it's time
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

// format the datetime
$dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s T');

here you can see all the available timezones

How to convert image to byte array

For Converting an Image object to byte[] you can do as follows:

public static byte[] converterDemo(Image x)
{
    ImageConverter _imageConverter = new ImageConverter();
    byte[] xByte = (byte[])_imageConverter.ConvertTo(x, typeof(byte[]));
    return xByte;
}

Turning off some legends in a ggplot

How to extend an existing JavaScript array with another array, without creating a new array

Another solution to merge more than two arrays

var a = [1, 2],
    b = [3, 4, 5],
    c = [6, 7];

// Merge the contents of multiple arrays together into the first array
var mergeArrays = function() {
 var i, len = arguments.length;
 if (len > 1) {
  for (i = 1; i < len; i++) {
    arguments[0].push.apply(arguments[0], arguments[i]);
  }
 }
};

Then call and print as:

mergeArrays(a, b, c);
console.log(a)

Output will be: Array [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

How to Get True Size of MySQL Database?

From S. Prakash, found at the MySQL forum:

SELECT table_schema "database name",
    sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "database size in MB",
    sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "free space in MB"
FROM information_schema.TABLES
GROUP BY table_schema;

Or in a single line for easier copy-pasting:

SELECT table_schema "database name", sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "database size in MB", sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "free space in MB" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema;

How can I escape square brackets in a LIKE clause?

I needed to exclude names that started with an underscore from a query, so I ended up with this:

WHERE b.[name] not like '\_%' escape '\'  -- use \ as the escape character

Splitting applicationContext to multiple files

There are two types of contexts we are dealing with:

1: root context (parent context. Typically include all jdbc(ORM, Hibernate) initialisation and other spring security related configuration)

2: individual servlet context (child context.Typically Dispatcher Servlet Context and initialise all beans related to spring-mvc (controllers , URL Mapping etc)).

Here is an example of web.xml which includes multiple application context file

Predicate in Java

A predicate is a function that returns a true/false (i.e. boolean) value, as opposed to a proposition which is a true/false (i.e. boolean) value. In Java, one cannot have standalone functions, and so one creates a predicate by creating an interface for an object that represents a predicate and then one provides a class that implements that interface. An example of an interface for a predicate might be:

public interface Predicate<ARGTYPE>
{
    public boolean evaluate(ARGTYPE arg);
}

And then you might have an implementation such as:

public class Tautology<E> implements Predicate<E>
{
     public boolean evaluate(E arg){
         return true;
     }
}

To get a better conceptual understanding, you might want to read about first-order logic.

Edit
There is a standard Predicate interface (java.util.function.Predicate) defined in the Java API as of Java 8. Prior to Java 8, you may find it convenient to reuse the com.google.common.base.Predicate interface from Guava.

Also, note that as of Java 8, it is much simpler to write predicates by using lambdas. For example, in Java 8 and higher, one can pass p -> true to a function instead of defining a named Tautology subclass like the above.

Escape dot in a regex range

On this web page, I see that:

"Remember that the dot is not a metacharacter inside a character class, so we do not need to escape it with a backslash."

So I guess the escaping of it is unnecessary...

How to return a file (FileContentResult) in ASP.NET WebAPI

For me it was the difference between

var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, new StringContent(log, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/octet-stream");

and

var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
response.Content = new StringContent(log, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/octet-stream");

The first one was returning the JSON representation of StringContent: {"Headers":[{"Key":"Content-Type","Value":["application/octet-stream; charset=utf-8"]}]}

While the second one was returning the file proper.

It seems that Request.CreateResponse has an overload that takes a string as the second parameter and this seems to have been what was causing the StringContent object itself to be rendered as a string, instead of the actual content.

Can I scroll a ScrollView programmatically in Android?

just page scroll:

Reading a string with scanf

I think that this below is accurate and it may help. Feel free to correct it if you find any errors. I'm new at C.

char str[]

array of values of type char, with its own address in memory
array of values of type char, with its own address in memory as many consecutive addresses as elements in the array
including termination null character '\0' &str, &str[0] and str, all three represent the same location in memory which is address of the first element of the array str

char *strPtr = &str[0]; //declaration and initialization

alternatively, you can split this in two:

char *strPtr; strPtr = &str[0];

strPtr is a pointer to a char
strPtr points at array str
strPtr is a variable with its own address in memory
strPtr is a variable that stores value of address &str[0]
strPtr own address in memory is different from the memory address that it stores (address of array in memory a.k.a &str[0])
&strPtr represents the address of strPtr itself

I think that you could declare a pointer to a pointer as:

char **vPtr = &strPtr;

declares and initializes with address of strPtr pointer

Alternatively you could split in two:

char **vPtr;
*vPtr = &strPtr

*vPtr points at strPtr pointer
*vPtr is a variable with its own address in memory
*vPtr is a variable that stores value of address &strPtr
final comment: you can not do str++, str address is a const, but you can do strPtr++

How do I read and parse an XML file in C#?

LINQ to XML Example:

var query = from c in xml.Root.Descendants("contact")
            where (int)c.Attribute("id") < 4
            select c.Element("firstName").Value + " " +
                   c.Element("lastName").Value;


foreach (string name in query)

What does an exclamation mark before a cell reference mean?

When entered as the reference of a Named range, it refers to range on the sheet the named range is used on.

For example, create a named range MyName refering to =SUM(!B1:!K1)

Place a formula on Sheet1 =MyName. This will sum Sheet1!B1:K1

Now place the same formula (=MyName) on Sheet2. That formula will sum Sheet2!B1:K1

Note: (as pnuts commented) this and the regular SheetName!B1:K1 format are relative, so reference different cells as the =MyName formula is entered into different cells.

how to modify the size of a column

This was done using Toad for Oracle 12.8.0.49

ALTER TABLE SCHEMA.TABLENAME 
    MODIFY (COLUMNNAME NEWDATATYPE(LENGTH)) ;

For example,

ALTER TABLE PAYROLL.EMPLOYEES 
    MODIFY (JOBTITLE VARCHAR2(12)) ;

Plotting images side by side using matplotlib

The problem you face is that you try to assign the return of imshow (which is an matplotlib.image.AxesImage to an existing axes object.

The correct way of plotting image data to the different axes in axarr would be

f, axarr = plt.subplots(2,2)
axarr[0,0].imshow(image_datas[0])
axarr[0,1].imshow(image_datas[1])
axarr[1,0].imshow(image_datas[2])
axarr[1,1].imshow(image_datas[3])

The concept is the same for all subplots, and in most cases the axes instance provide the same methods than the pyplot (plt) interface. E.g. if ax is one of your subplot axes, for plotting a normal line plot you'd use ax.plot(..) instead of plt.plot(). This can actually be found exactly in the source from the page you link to.

how to read System environment variable in Spring applicationContext

Nowadays you can put

@Autowired
private Environment environment;

in your @Component, @Bean, etc., and then access the properties through the Environment class:

environment.getProperty("myProp");

For a single property in a @Bean

@Value("${my.another.property:123}") // value after ':' is the default
Integer property;

Another way are the handy @ConfigurationProperties beans:

@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="my.properties.prefix")
public class MyProperties {
  // value from my.properties.prefix.myProperty will be bound to this variable
  String myProperty;

  // and this will even throw a startup exception if the property is not found
  @javax.validation.constraints.NotNull
  String myRequiredProperty;

  //getters
}

@Component
public class MyOtherBean {
  @Autowired
  MyProperties myProperties;
}

Note: Just remember to restart eclipse after setting a new environment variable

Best way to pass parameters to jQuery's .load()

As Davide Gualano has been told. This one

$("#myDiv").load("myScript.php?var=x&var2=y&var3=z")

use GET method for sending the request, and this one

$("#myDiv").load("myScript.php", {var:x, var2:y, var3:z})

use POST method for sending the request. But any limitation that is applied to each method (post/get) is applied to the alternative usages that has been mentioned in the question.

For example: url length limits the amount of sending data in GET method.

Android SDK folder taking a lot of disk space. Do we need to keep all of the System Images?

This is the minimal stuff I keep for day to day Android development (including production code). Latest versions from API 25 to API 27 (Nougat to Android P) included only, and you can work great with it.

To minimize even more, just keep any one of the below versions as same and keep a lower versions i.e. API 16 with same files downloaded as below.

Replace a value in a data frame based on a conditional (`if`) statement

stata.replace<-function(data,replacevar,replacevalue,ifs) {
  ifs=parse(text=ifs)
  yy=as.numeric(eval(ifs,data,parent.frame()))
  x=sum(yy)
  data=cbind(data,yy)
  data[yy==1,replacevar]=replacevalue
  message=noquote(paste0(x, " replacement are made"))
  print(message)
  return(data[,1:(ncol(data)-1)])
}

Call this function using below line.

    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key5", ValueCol="value3" },
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key6", ValueCol="value4" }
};

our linq query look like below

var query =from m in wordList group m.KeyCol by m.ValueCol into g
select new { Name = g.Key, KeyCols = g.ToList() };

or for array instead of list like below

var query =from m in wordList group m.KeyCol by m.ValueCol into g
select new { Name = g.Key, KeyCols = g.ToList().ToArray<string>() };

AngularJS - Trigger when radio button is selected

Another approach is using Object.defineProperty to set valueas a getter setter property in the controller scope, then each change on the value property will trigger a function specified in the setter:

The HTML file:

<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="one"/>
<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="two"/>
<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="three"/>

The javascript file:

var _value = null;
Object.defineProperty($scope, 'value', {
  get: function () {
    return _value;
  },         
  set: function (value) {
    _value = value;
    someFunction();
  }
});

MIME types missing in IIS 7 for ASP.NET - 404.17

Fix:

I chose the "ISAPI & CGI Restrictions" after clicking the server name (not the site name) in IIS Manager, and right clicked the "ASP.NET v4.0.30319" lines and chose "Allow".

After turning on ASP.NET from "Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off", you must install ASP.NET from the Windows command prompt. The MIME types don't ever show up, but after doing this command, I noticed these extensions showed up under the IIS web site "Handler Mappings" section of IIS Manager.

However, I still got this error. But if you do what I mentioned for the "Fix", this will go away.

how to empty recyclebin through command prompt?

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I thought I might contribute my subjectively more graceful solution.

I was looking for a script that would empty the Recycle Bin with an API call, rather than crudely deleting all files and folders from the filesystem. Having failed in my attempts to RecycleBinObject.InvokeVerb("Empty Recycle &Bin") (which apparently only works in XP or older), I stumbled upon discussions of using a function embedded in shell32.dll called SHEmptyRecycleBin() from a compiled language. I thought, hey, I can do that in PowerShell and wrap it in a batch script hybrid.

Save this with a .bat extension and run it to empty your Recycle Bin. Run it with a /y switch to skip the confirmation.

<# : batch portion (begins PowerShell multi-line comment block)
:: empty.bat -- http://stackoverflow.com/a/41195176/1683264

@echo off & setlocal

if /i "%~1"=="/y" goto empty

choice /n /m "Are you sure you want to empty the Recycle Bin? [y/n] "
if not errorlevel 2 goto empty
goto :EOF

:empty
powershell -noprofile "iex (${%~f0} | out-string)" && (
    echo Recycle Bin successfully emptied.
)
goto :EOF

: end batch / begin PowerShell chimera #>
Add-Type shell32 @'
    [DllImport("shell32.dll")]
    public static extern int SHEmptyRecycleBin(IntPtr hwnd, string pszRootPath,
        int dwFlags);
'@ -Namespace System

$SHERB_NOCONFIRMATION = 0x1
$SHERB_NOPROGRESSUI = 0x2
$SHERB_NOSOUND = 0x4

$dwFlags = $SHERB_NOCONFIRMATION
$res = [shell32]::SHEmptyRecycleBin([IntPtr]::Zero, $null, $dwFlags)

if ($res) { "Error 0x{0:x8}: {1}" -f $res,`
    (New-Object ComponentModel.Win32Exception($res)).Message }
exit $res

Here's a more complex version which first invokes SHQueryRecycleBin() to determine whether the bin is already empty prior to invoking SHEmptyRecycleBin(). For this one, I got rid of the choice confirmation and /y switch.

What's the correct way to convert bytes to a hex string in Python 3?

it can been used the format specifier %x02 that format and output a hex value. For example:

>>> res = ""
>>> for b in foo:

How best to include other scripts?

we just need to find out the folder where our incl.sh and main.sh is stored; just change your main.sh with this:

SCRIPT_DIR="$(echo $0| sed "s/$SCRIPT_NAME//g")"
source $SCRIPT_DIR/incl.sh

echo "The main script"

Unable to find velocity template resources

Great question - I solved my issue today as follows using Ecilpse:

Put your template in the same folder hierarchy as your source code (not in a separate folder hierarchy even if you include it in the build path) as below:

In your code simply use the following lines of code (assuming you just want the date to be passed as data):

VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RESOURCE_LOADER, "classpath");
ve.setProperty("classpath.resource.loader.class", ClasspathResourceLoader.class.getName());
ve.init();
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
context.put("date", getMyTimestampFunction());
Template t = ve.getTemplate( "templates/email_html_new.vm" );
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
t.merge( context, writer );

See how first we tell VelocityEngine to look in the classpath. Without this it wouldn't know where to look.

How to set the title text color of UIButton?

This is swift 5 compatible answer. If you want to use one of the built-in colours then you can simply use

button.setTitleColor(.red, for: .normal)

If you want some custom colours, then create an extension for a UIColor as below first.

import UIKit
extension UIColor {
    static var themeMoreButton = UIColor.init(red: 53/255, green: 150/255, blue: 36/255, alpha: 1)
}

Then use it for your button as below.

button.setTitleColor(UIColor.themeMoreButton, for: .normal)

Tip: You can use this method to store custom colours from rgba colour code and reuse it throughout your application.

Custom circle button

If you want to do with ImageButton, use the following. It will create round ImageButton with material ripples.

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_settings_6"
android:background="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:padding="10dp"
/>

Maven Installation OSX Error Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Please rather try:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version

Maven uses $JAVA_HOME for classpath resolution of JRE libs. To be sure to use a certain JDK, set it explicitly before compiling, for example:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51

Isn't there a version < 1.7 and you're using Maven 3.3.1? In this case the reason is a new prerequisite: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5780

How can I get the external SD card path for Android 4.0+?

On some devices (for example samsung galaxy sII )internal memory card mabe be in vfat. In this case use refer last code, we obtain path internal memory card (/mnt/sdcad) but no external card. Code refer below solve this problem.

static String getExternalStorage(){
         String exts =  Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
         try {
            FileReader fr = new FileReader(new File("/proc/mounts"));       
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
            String sdCard=null;
            String line;
            while((line = br.readLine())!=null){
                if(line.contains("secure") || line.contains("asec")) continue;
            if(line.contains("fat")){
                String[] pars = line.split("\\s");
                if(pars.length<2) continue;
                if(pars[1].equals(exts)) continue;
                sdCard =pars[1]; 
                break;
            }
        }
        fr.close();
        br.close();
        return sdCard;  

     } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

Connecting to Oracle Database through C#?

You can use Oracle.ManagedDataAccess NuGet package too (.NET >= 4.0, database >= 10g Release 2).

Find largest and smallest number in an array

big=small=values[0]; //assigns element to be highest or lowest value

Should be AFTER fill loop

//counts to 20 and prompts user for value and stores it
for ( int i = 0; i < 20; i++ )
{
    cout << "Enter value " << i << ": ";
    cin >> values[i];
}
big=small=values[0]; //assigns element to be highest or lowest value

since when you declare array - it's unintialized (store some undefined values) and so, your big and small after assigning would store undefined values too.

And of course, you can use std::min_element, std::max_element, or std::minmax_element from C++11, instead of writing your loops.

How to add minutes to my Date

Just for anybody who is interested. I was working on an iOS project that required similar functionality so I ended porting the answer by @jeznag to swift

private func addMinutesToDate(minutes: Int, beforeDate: NSDate) -> NSDate {
    var SIXTY_SECONDS = 60

    var m = (Double) (minutes * SIXTY_SECONDS)
    var c =  beforeDate.timeIntervalSince1970  + m
    var newDate = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: c)

    return newDate
}

Make new column in Panda dataframe by adding values from other columns

As of Pandas version 0.16.0 you can use assign as follows:

df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1,2,3], "B": [4,6,9]})
df.assign(C = df.A + df.B)

# Out[383]: 
#    A  B   C
# 0  1  4   5
# 1  2  6   8
# 2  3  9  12

You can add multiple columns this way as follows:

df.assign(C = df.A + df.B,
          Diff = df.B - df.A,
          Mult = df.A * df.B)
# Out[379]: 
#    A  B   C  Diff  Mult
# 0  1  4   5     3     4
# 1  2  6   8     4    12
# 2  3  9  12     6    27

How do you use NSAttributedString?

An easier solution with attributed string extension.

extension NSMutableAttributedString {

    // this function attaches color to string    
    func setColorForText(textToFind: String, withColor color: UIColor) {
        let range: NSRange = self.mutableString.range(of: textToFind, options: .caseInsensitive)
        self.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor, value: color, range: range)
    }

}

Try this and see (Tested in Swift 3 & 4)

let label = UILabel()
label.frame = CGRect(x: 120, y: 100, width: 200, height: 30)
let first = "first"
let second = "second"
let third = "third"
let stringValue = "\(first)\(second)\(third)"  // or direct assign single string value like "firstsecondthird"

let attributedString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: stringValue)
attributedString.setColorForText(textToFind: first, withColor: UIColor.red)   // use variable for string "first"
attributedString.setColorForText(textToFind: "second", withColor: UIColor.green) // or direct string like this "second"
attributedString.setColorForText(textToFind: third, withColor: UIColor.blue)
label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 26)
label.attributedText = attributedString
self.view.addSubview(label)

Here is expected result:

IllegalArgumentException or NullPointerException for a null parameter?

Some collections assume that null is rejected using NullPointerException rather than IllegalArgumentException. For example, if you compare a set containing null to a set that rejects null, the first set will call containsAll on the other and catch its NullPointerException -- but not IllegalArgumentException. (I'm looking at the implementation of AbstractSet.equals.)

You could reasonably argue that using unchecked exceptions in this way is an antipattern, that comparing collections that contain null to collections that can't contain null is a likely bug that really should produce an exception, or that putting null in a collection at all is a bad idea. Nevertheless, unless you're willing to say that equals should throw an exception in such a case, you're stuck remembering that NullPointerException is required in certain circumstances but not in others. ("IAE before NPE except after 'c'...")

What's the difference between ConcurrentHashMap and Collections.synchronizedMap(Map)?

Hashtable and ConcurrentHashMap do not allow null keys or null values.
Collections.synchronizedMap(Map) synchronizes all operations (get, put, size, etc).
ConcurrentHashMap supports full concurrency of retrievals, and adjustable expected concurrency for updates.

As usual, there are concurrency--overhead--speed tradeoffs involved. You really need to consider the detailed concurrency requirements of your application to make a decision, and then test your code to see if it's good enough.

Disable click outside of bootstrap modal area to close modal

Another option if you do not know if the modal has already been opened or not yet and you need to configure the modal options:

Bootstrap 3.4

var $modal = $('#modal');
var keyboard = false; // Prevent to close by ESC
var backdrop = 'static'; // Prevent to close on click outside the modal

if(typeof $modal.data('bs.modal') === 'undefined') { // Modal did not open yet
    $modal.modal({
        keyboard: keyboard,
        backdrop: backdrop
    });
} else { // Modal has already been opened
    $modal.data('bs.modal').options.keyboard = keyboard;
    $modal.data('bs.modal').options.backdrop = backdrop;

    if(keyboard === false) { 
        $modal.off('keydown.dismiss.bs.modal'); // Disable ESC
    } else { // 
        $modal.data('bs.modal').escape(); // Resets ESC
    }
}

Bootstrap 4.3+

var $modal = $('#modal');
var keyboard = false; // Prevent to close by ESC
var backdrop = 'static'; // Prevent to close on click outside the modal

if(typeof $modal.data('bs.modal') === 'undefined') { // Modal did not open yet
    $modal.modal({
        keyboard: keyboard,
        backdrop: backdrop
    });
} else { // Modal has already been opened
    $modal.data('bs.modal')._config.keyboard = keyboard;
    $modal.data('bs.modal')._config.backdrop = backdrop;

    if(keyboard === false) { 
        $modal.off('keydown.dismiss.bs.modal'); // Disable ESC
    } else { // 
        $modal.data('bs.modal').escape(); // Resets ESC
    }
}

Change options to _config

How to deal with missing src/test/java source folder in Android/Maven project?

How to initialize array to 0 in C?

If you'd like to initialize the array to values other than 0, with gcc you can do:

int array[1024] = { [ 0 ... 1023 ] = -1 };

This is a GNU extension of C99 Designated Initializers. In older GCC, you may need to use -std=gnu99 to compile your code.

Typescript - multidimensional array initialization

If you want to do it typed:

class Something {

  areas: Area[][];

  constructor() {
    this.areas = new Array<Array<Area>>();
    for (let y = 0; y <= 100; y++) {
      let row:Area[]  = new Array<Area>();      
      for (let x = 0; x <=100; x++){
        row.push(new Area(x, y));
      }
      this.areas.push(row);
    }
  }
}

How do I break out of a loop in Perl?

    # Do your stuff
}

What is a handle in C++?

This appears in the context of the Handle-Body-Idiom, also called Pimpl idiom. It allows one to keep the ABI (binary interface) of a library the same, by keeping actual data into another class object, which is merely referenced by a pointer held in an "handle" object, consisting of functions that delegate to that class "Body".

It's also useful to enable constant time and exception safe swap of two objects. For this, merely the pointer pointing to the body object has to be swapped.

Requests -- how to tell if you're getting a 404

Look at the r.status_code attribute:

if r.status_code == 404:
    # A 404 was issued.

Demo:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/status/404')
>>> r.status_code
404

If you want requests to raise an exception for error codes (4xx or 5xx), call r.raise_for_status():

>>> r = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/status/404')
>>> r.raise_for_status()
Traceback (most recent call last):

You can also test the response object in a boolean context; if the status code is not an error code (4xx or 5xx), it is considered ‘true’:

if r:
    # successful response

If you want to be more explicit, use if r.ok:.

Force an Android activity to always use landscape mode

That's it!! Long waiting for this fix.

I've an old Android issue about double-start an activity that required (programmatically) landscape mode: setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)

Now Android make Landscape mode on start.

How do I deal with "signed/unsigned mismatch" warnings (C4018)?

You can use:

size_t type, to remove warning messages
iterators + distance (like are first hint)
only iterators
function object

For example:

// simple class who output his value
class ConsoleOutput
{
public:
  ConsoleOutput(int value):m_value(value) { }
  int Value() const { return m_value; }
private:
  int m_value;
};

// functional object
class Predicat
{
public:
  void operator()(ConsoleOutput const& item)
  {
    std::cout << item.Value() << std::endl;
  }
};

void main()
{
  // fill list
  std::vector<ConsoleOutput> list;
  list.push_back(ConsoleOutput(1));
  list.push_back(ConsoleOutput(8));

  // 1) using size_t
  for (size_t i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i)
  {
    std::cout << list.at(i).Value() << std::endl;
  }

  // 2) iterators + distance, for std::distance only non const iterators
  std::vector<ConsoleOutput>::iterator itDistance = list.begin(), endDistance = list.end();
  for ( ; itDistance != endDistance; ++itDistance)
  {
    // int or size_t
    int const position = static_cast<int>(std::distance(list.begin(), itDistance));
    std::cout << list.at(position).Value() << std::endl;
  }

  // 3) iterators
  std::vector<ConsoleOutput>::const_iterator it = list.begin(), end = list.end();
  for ( ; it != end; ++it)
  {
    std::cout << (*it).Value() << std::endl;
  }
  // 4) functional objects
  std::for_each(list.begin(), list.end(), Predicat());
}

Webpack not excluding node_modules

From your config file, it seems like you're only excluding node_modules from being parsed with babel-loader, but not from being bundled.

In order to exclude node_modules and native node libraries from bundling, you need to:

Add target: 'node' to your webpack.config.js. This will exclude native node modules (path, fs, etc.) from being bundled.
Use webpack-node-externals in order to exclude other node_modules.

So your result config file should look like:

var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
...
module.exports = {
    ...
    target: 'node', // in order to ignore built-in modules like path, fs, etc. 
    externals: [nodeExternals()], // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder 
    ...
};

ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)

I have some vague recollections of Oracle databases needing a bit of fiddling when you reboot for the first time after installing the database. However, you haven't given us enough information to work on. To start with:

What code are you using to connect to the database?
It's not clear whether the database instance has been started. Can you connect to the database using sqlplus / as sysdba from within the VM?
What has been written to the listener.log file (in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\log) since the last reboot?

EDIT: I've now been able to come up with a scenario which generates the same error message you got. It looks to me like the database you're attempting to connect to has not been started up. The example I present below uses Oracle XE on Linux, but I don't think this makes a significant difference.

First, let us confirm that the database is shut down:

$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sat Jul 17 18:16:43 2010

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to an idle instance.

It's the text Connected to an idle instance that tells us that the database is shut down.

Using sqlplus / as sysdba connects us to the database as SYS without needing a password, but it only works on the same machine as the database itself. In your case, you'd need to run this inside the virtual machine. SYS has permission to start up and shut down the database, and to connect to it when it is shut down, but normal users don't have these permissions.

Now let us disconnect and try reconnecting as a normal user, one that does not have permission to startup/shutdown the database nor connect to it when it is down:

SQL> exit
Disconnected

$ sqlplus -L "user/pw@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=XE)))"

That's the error message you've been getting.

Now, let's start the database up:

We're in.

I hadn't seen an ORA-12505 error before because I don't normally connect to an Oracle database by entering the entire connection string on the command line. This is likely to be similar to how you are attempting to connect to the database. Usually, I either connect to a local database, or connect to a remote database by using a TNS name (these are listed in the tnsnames.ora file, in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin). In both of these cases you get a different error message if you attempt to connect to a database that has been shut down.

If the above doesn't help you (in particular, if the database has already been started, or you get errors starting up the database), please let us know.

EDIT 2: it seems the problems you were having were indeed because the database hadn't been started. It also appears that your database isn't configured to start up when the service starts. It is possible to get the database to start up when the service is started, and to shut down when the service is stopped. To do this, use the Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows, see here.

postgresql COUNT(DISTINCT ...) very slow

I was also searching same answer, because at some point of time I needed total_count with distinct values along with limit/offset.

Because it's little tricky to do- To get total count with distinct values along with limit/offset. Usually it's hard to get total count with limit/offset. Finally I got the way to do -

SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(*) OVER() as total_count, * FROM table_name limit 2 offset 0;

Query performance is also high.

Can I set variables to undefined or pass undefined as an argument?

The best way to check for a null values is

if ( testVar !== null )
{
    // do action here
}

and for undefined

if ( testVar !== undefined )
{
    // do action here
}

You can assign a avariable with undefined.

testVar = undefined;
//typeof(testVar) will be equal to undefined.

One more scenario of this error:

Install typescript `locally` and run the command without `npm run`

First, it is important to notice this is a "general" terminal error (Even if you write hello bla.js -or- wowowowow index.js):

"hello world" example of this error:

You install typescript locally (without -g) ==> npm install typescript. https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-packages-locally
In this case tsc commands available if you run npm run inside your local project. For example: npm run tsc -v:

'and' (boolean) vs '&' (bitwise) - Why difference in behavior with lists vs numpy arrays?

About `list`

First a very important point, from which everything will follow (I hope).

In ordinary Python, list is not special in any way (except having cute syntax for constructing, which is mostly a historical accident). Once a list [3,2,6] is made, it is for all intents and purposes just an ordinary Python object, like a number 3, set {3,7}, or a function lambda x: x+5.

(Yes, it supports changing its elements, and it supports iteration, and many other things, but that's just what a type is: it supports some operations, while not supporting some others. int supports raising to a power, but that doesn't make it very special - it's just what an int is. lambda supports calling, but that doesn't make it very special - that's what lambda is for, after all:).

About `and`

and is not an operator (you can call it "operator", but you can call "for" an operator too:). Operators in Python are (implemented through) methods called on objects of some type, usually written as part of that type. There is no way for a method to hold an evaluation of some of its operands, but and can (and must) do that.

The consequence of that is that and cannot be overloaded, just like for cannot be overloaded. It is completely general, and communicates through a specified protocol. What you can do is customize your part of the protocol, but that doesn't mean you can alter the behavior of and completely. The protocol is:

Imagine Python interpreting "a and b" (this doesn't happen literally this way, but it helps understanding). When it comes to "and", it looks at the object it has just evaluated (a), and asks it: are you true? (NOT: are you True?) If you are an author of a's class, you can customize this answer. If a answers "no", and (skips b completely, it is not evaluated at all, and) says: a is my result (NOT: False is my result).

If a doesn't answer, and asks it: what is your length? (Again, you can customize this as an author of a's class). If a answers 0, and does the same as above - considers it false (NOT False), skips b, and gives a as result.

If a answers something other than 0 to the second question ("what is your length"), or it doesn't answer at all, or it answers "yes" to the first one ("are you true"), and evaluates b, and says: b is my result. Note that it does NOT ask b any questions.

The other way to say all of this is that a and b is almost the same as b if a else a, except a is evaluated only once.

Now sit for a few minutes with a pen and paper, and convince yourself that when {a,b} is a subset of {True,False}, it works exactly as you would expect of Boolean operators. But I hope I have convinced you it is much more general, and as you'll see, much more useful this way.

Putting those two together

Now I hope you understand your example 1. and doesn't care if mylist1 is a number, list, lambda or an object of a class Argmhbl. It just cares about mylist1's answer to the questions of the protocol. And of course, mylist1 answers 5 to the question about length, so and returns mylist2. And that's it. It has nothing to do with elements of mylist1 and mylist2 - they don't enter the picture anywhere.

Second example: `&` on `list`

On the other hand, & is an operator like any other, like + for example. It can be defined for a type by defining a special method on that class. int defines it as bitwise "and", and bool defines it as logical "and", but that's just one option: for example, sets and some other objects like dict keys views define it as a set intersection. list just doesn't define it, probably because Guido didn't think of any obvious way of defining it.

numpy

On the other leg:-D, numpy arrays are special, or at least they are trying to be. Of course, numpy.array is just a class, it cannot override and in any way, so it does the next best thing: when asked "are you true", numpy.array raises a ValueError, effectively saying "please rephrase the question, my view of truth doesn't fit into your model". (Note that the ValueError message doesn't speak about and - because numpy.array doesn't know who is asking it the question; it just speaks about truth.)

For &, it's completely different story. numpy.array can define it as it wishes, and it defines & consistently with other operators: pointwise. So you finally get what you want.

A regex for version number parsing

moment.js get current time in milliseconds?

Since this thread is the first one from Google I found, one accurate and lazy way I found is :

const momentObject = moment().toObject();
// date doesn't exist with duration, but day does so use it instead
//   -1 because moment start from date 1, but a duration start from 0
const durationCompatibleObject = { ... momentObject, day: momentObject.date - 1 };
delete durationCompatibleObject.date;

const yourDuration = moment.duration(durationCompatibleObject);
// yourDuration.asMilliseconds()

now just add some prototypes (such as toDuration()) / .asMilliseconds() into moment and you can easily switch to milliseconds() or whatever !

How do I escape double and single quotes in sed?

Escaping a double quote can absolutely be necessary in sed: for instance, if you are using double quotes in the entire sed expression (as you need to do when you want to use a shell variable).

Here's an example that touches on escaping in sed but also captures some other quoting issues in bash:

# cat inventory
PURCHASED="2014-09-01"
SITE="Atlanta"
LOCATION="Room 154"

Let's say you wanted to change the room using a sed script that you can use over and over, so you variablize the input as follows:

# i="Room 101" (these quotes are there so the variable can contains spaces)

This script will add the whole line if it isn't there, or it will simply replace (using sed) the line that is there with the text plus the value of $i.

if grep -q LOCATION inventory; then 
## The sed expression is double quoted to allow for variable expansion; 
## the literal quotes are both escaped with \ 
    sed -i "/^LOCATION/c\LOCATION=\"$i\"" inventory
## Note the three layers of quotes to get echo to expand the variable
## AND insert the literal quotes
else 
    echo LOCATION='"'$i'"' >> inventory
fi

P.S. I wrote out the script above on multiple lines to make the comments parsable but I use it as a one-liner on the command line that looks like this:

i="your location"; if grep -q LOCATION inventory; then sed -i "/^LOCATION/c\LOCATION=\"$i\"" inventory; else echo LOCATION='"'$i'"' >> inventory; fi

Finding the max value of an attribute in an array of objects

Comparison of three ONELINERS which handle minus numbers case (input in a array):

var maxB = a.sort((a,b)=>b.y-a.y)[0].y;    // 27 chars time complexity:  O(nlogn)
           
var maxC = Math.max(...a.map(o=>o.y));     // 26 chars time complexity: >O(2n)

editable example here. Ideas from: maxA, maxB and maxC (side effect of maxB is that array a is changed because sort is in-place).

How to study design patterns?

I've lead a few design patterns discussion groups (our site) and have read 5 or 6 patterns books. I recommend starting with the Head First Design Patterns book and attending or starting a discussion group. The Head First book might look a little Hasboro at first, but most people like it after reading a chapter or two.

Use the outstanding resource - Joshua Kereivisky's A Learning Guide to Design Patterns for the pattern ordering and to help your discussion group. Out of experience the one change I suggest to the ordering is to put Strategy first. Most of today's developers have experienced some good or bad incarnation of a Factory, so starting with Factory can lead to a lot of conversation and confusion about the pattern.This tends to take focus off how to study and learn patterns which is pretty essential at that first meeting.

Serialize an object to XML

To serialize an object, do:

 using (StreamWriter myWriter = new StreamWriter(path, false))
 {
     XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(your_object_type));
     mySerializer.Serialize(myWriter, objectToSerialize);
 }

Also remember that for XmlSerializer to work, you need a parameterless constructor.

Check if a div exists with jquery

As karim79 mentioned, the first is the most concise. However I could argue that the second is more understandable as it is not obvious/known to some Javascript/jQuery programmers that non-zero/false values are evaluated to true in if-statements. And because of that, the third method is incorrect.

Adding blank spaces to layout

I strongly disagree with CaspNZ's approach.

First of all, this invisible view will be measured because it is "fill_parent". Android will try to calculate the right width of it. Instead, a small constant number (1dp) is recommended here.

Secondly, View should be replaced by a simpler class Space, a class dedicated to create empty spaces between UI component for fastest speed.

Split string into individual words Java

A regex can also be used to split words.

\w can be used to match word characters ([A-Za-z0-9_]), so that punctuation is removed from the results:

String s = "I want to walk my dog, and why not?";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\w+");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(s);
while (matcher.find()) {
    System.out.println(matcher.group());
}

Outputs:

I
want
to
walk
my
dog
and
why
not

See Java API documentation for Pattern

IIS AppPoolIdentity and file system write access permissions

The ApplicationPoolIdentity is assigned membership of the Users group as well as the IIS_IUSRS group. On first glance this may look somewhat worrying, however the Users group has somewhat limited NTFS rights.

For example, if you try and create a folder in the C:\Windows folder then you'll find that you can't. The ApplicationPoolIdentity still needs to be able to read files from the windows system folders (otherwise how else would the worker process be able to dynamically load essential DLL's).

With regard to your observations about being able to write to your c:\dump folder. If you take a look at the permissions in the Advanced Security Settings, you'll see the following:

enter image description here

See that Special permission being inherited from c:\:

enter image description here

That's the reason your site's ApplicationPoolIdentity can read and write to that folder. That right is being inherited from the c:\ drive.

In a shared environment where you possibly have several hundred sites, each with their own application pool and Application Pool Identity, you would store the site folders in a folder or volume that has had the Users group removed and the permissions set such that only Administrators and the SYSTEM account have access (with inheritance).

You would then individually assign the requisite permissions each IIS AppPool\[name] requires on it's site root folder.

You should also ensure that any folders you create where you store potentially sensitive files or data have the Users group removed. You should also make sure that any applications that you install don't store sensitive data in their c:\program files\[app name] folders and that they use the user profile folders instead.

So yes, on first glance it looks like the ApplicationPoolIdentity has more rights than it should, but it actually has no more rights than it's group membership dictates.

An ApplicationPoolIdentity's group membership can be examined using the SysInternals Process Explorer tool. Find the worker process that is running with the Application Pool Identity you're interested in (you will have to add the User Name column to the list of columns to display:

enter image description here

For example, I have a pool here named 900300 which has an Application Pool Identity of IIS APPPOOL\900300. Right clicking on properties for the process and selecting the Security tab we see:

enter image description here

As we can see IIS APPPOOL\900300 is a member of the Users group.

How to have multiple CSS transitions on an element?

Something like the following will allow for multiple transitions simultaneously:

-webkit-transition: color .2s linear, text-shadow .2s linear;
   -moz-transition: color .2s linear, text-shadow .2s linear;
     -o-transition: color .2s linear, text-shadow .2s linear;
        transition: color .2s linear, text-shadow .2s linear;

Change Select List Option background colour on hover in html

No, it's not possible.

It's really, if not use native selects, if you create custom select widget from html elements, t.e. "li".

List submodules in a Git repository

In my version of Git ^[1], every Git submodule has a name and a path. They don't necessarily have to be the same ^[2]. Getting both in a reliable way, without checking out the submodules first (git update --init), is a tricky bit of shell wizardry.

Get a list of submodule `names`

I didn't find a way how to achieve this using git config or any other git command. Therefore we are back to regex on .gitmodules (super ugly). But it seems to be somewhat safe since git limits the possible code space allowed for submodule names. In addition, since you probably want to use this list for further shell processing, the solution below separate entries with NULL-bytes (\0).

$ sed -nre \
  's/^\[submodule \"(.*)\"]$/\1\x0/p' \
  "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.gitmodules" \
| tr -d '\n' \
| xargs -0 -n1 printf "%b\0"

And in your script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

while IFS= read -rd '' submodule_name; do
  echo submodule name: "${submodule_name}"
done < <(
  sed -nre \
    's/^\[submodule \"(.*)\"]$/\1\x0/p' \
    "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.gitmodules" \
  | tr -d '\n' \
  | xargs -0 -n1 printf "%b\0"
)

Note: read -rd '' requires bash and won't work with sh.

Get a list of submodule `paths`

In my approach I try not to process the output from git config --get-regexp with awk, tr, sed, ... but instead pass it a zero byte separated back to git config --get. This is to avoid problems with newlines, spaces and other special characters (e.g. Unicode) in the submodule paths. In addition, since you probably want to use this list for further shell processing, the solution below separate entries with NULL-bytes (\0).

$ git config --null --file .gitmodules --name-only --get-regexp '\.path$' \
| xargs -0 -n1 git config --null --file .gitmodules --get

For example, in a Bash script you could then:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

while IFS= read -rd '' submodule_path; do
  echo submodule path: "${submodule_path}"
done < <(
  git config --null --file .gitmodules --name-only --get-regexp '\.path$' \
  | xargs -0 -n1 git config --null --file .gitmodules --get
)

Note: read -rd '' requires bash and won't work with sh.

done.
$ ls
submodule-name

$ cat .gitmodules
[submodule "submodule-name"]
    path = submodule-name

Android EditText Max Length

If you used maxLength = 6 , some times what you are entering those characters are added in top of the keyboard called suggestions. So when you deleting entered letters that time it will delete suggestions first and then actual text inside EditText. For that you need to remove the suggestions.just add

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"`

android:inputType="textFilter"

It will remove those suggestions.

Setting the filter to an OpenFileDialog to allow the typical image formats?

In order to match a list of different categories of file, you can use the filter like this:

        var dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog()
        {
            DefaultExt = ".xlsx",
            Filter = "Excel Files (*.xls, *.xlsx)|*.xls;*.xlsx|CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv"
        };

Are there such things as variables within an Excel formula?

Not related to variables, your example will also be solved by MOD:

=Mod(VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0);10)

Rotate camera in Three.js with mouse

This might serve as a good starting point for moving/rotating/zooming a camera with mouse/trackpad (in typescript):

class CameraControl {
    zoomMode: boolean = false
    press: boolean = false
    sensitivity: number = 0.02

    constructor(renderer: Three.Renderer, public camera: Three.PerspectiveCamera, updateCallback:() => void){
        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mousemove', event => {
            if(!this.press){ return }

            if(event.button == 0){
                camera.position.y -= event.movementY * this.sensitivity
                camera.position.x -= event.movementX * this.sensitivity        
            } else if(event.button == 2){
                camera.quaternion.y -= event.movementX * this.sensitivity/10
                camera.quaternion.x -= event.movementY * this.sensitivity/10
            }

            updateCallback()
        })    

        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mousedown', () => { this.press = true })
        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mouseup', () => { this.press = false })
        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => { this.press = false })

        document.addEventListener('keydown', event => {
            if(event.key == 'Shift'){
                this.zoomMode = true
            }
        })

        document.addEventListener('keyup', event => {
            if(event.key == 'Shift'){
                this.zoomMode = false
            }
        })

        renderer.domElement.addEventListener('mousewheel', event => {
            if(this.zoomMode){ 
                camera.fov += event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity
                camera.updateProjectionMatrix()
            } else {
                camera.position.z += event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity
            }

            updateCallback()
        })
    }
}

drop it in like:

this.cameraControl = new CameraControl(renderer, camera, () => {
    // you might want to rerender on camera update if you are not rerendering all the time
    window.requestAnimationFrame(() => renderer.render(scene, camera))
})

Controls:

move while [holding mouse left / single finger on trackpad] to move camera in x/y plane
move [mouse wheel / two fingers on trackpad] to move up/down in z-direction
hold shift + [mouse wheel / two fingers on trackpad] to zoom in/out via increasing/decreasing field-of-view
move while holding [mouse right / two fingers on trackpad] to rotate the camera (quaternion)

Additionally:

If you want to kinda zoom by changing the 'distance' (along yz) instead of changing field-of-view you can bump up/down camera's position y and z while keeping the ratio of position's y and z unchanged like:

// in mousewheel event listener in zoom mode
const ratio = camera.position.y / camera.position.z
camera.position.y += (event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity * ratio)
camera.position.z += (event.wheelDelta * this.sensitivity)

How to implement 2D vector array?

Another way to define a 2-d vector is to declare a vector of pair's.

 vector < pair<int,int> > v;

**To insert values**
 cin >> x >>y;
 v.push_back(make_pair(x,y));

**Retrieve Values**
 i=0 to size(v)
 x=v[i].first;
 y=v[i].second;

For 3-d vectors take a look at tuple and make_tuple.

Reading/Writing a MS Word file in PHP

I don't know what you are going to use it for, but I needed .doc support for search indexing; What I did was use a little commandline tool called "catdoc"; This transfers the contents of the Word document to plain text so it can be indexed. If you need to keep formatting and stuff this is not your tool.

How to get image size (height & width) using JavaScript?

SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

You can't have a non-keyword argument after a keyword argument.

Make sure you re-arrange your function arguments like so:

def a(len1,til,hgt=len1,col=0):
    system('mode con cols='+len1,'lines='+hgt)
    system('title',til)
    system('color',col)

a(64,"hi",25,"0b")

ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Connecting

Sorry for only commenting in the first place, but i'm posting almost every day a similar comment since many people think that it would be smart to encapsulate ADO.NET functionality into a DB-Class(me too 10 years ago). Mostly they decide to use static/shared objects since it seems to be faster than to create a new object for any action.

That is neither a good idea in terms of peformance nor in terms of fail-safety.

Don't poach on the Connection-Pool's territory

There's a good reason why ADO.NET internally manages the underlying Connections to the DBMS in the ADO-NET Connection-Pool:

In practice, most applications use only one or a few different configurations for connections. This means that during application execution, many identical connections will be repeatedly opened and closed. To minimize the cost of opening connections, ADO.NET uses an optimization technique called connection pooling.

Connection pooling reduces the number of times that new connections must be opened. The pooler maintains ownership of the physical connection. It manages connections by keeping alive a set of active connections for each given connection configuration. Whenever a user calls Open on a connection, the pooler looks for an available connection in the pool. If a pooled connection is available, it returns it to the caller instead of opening a new connection. When the application calls Close on the connection, the pooler returns it to the pooled set of active connections instead of closing it. Once the connection is returned to the pool, it is ready to be reused on the next Open call.

So obviously there's no reason to avoid creating,opening or closing connections since actually they aren't created,opened and closed at all. This is "only" a flag for the connection pool to know when a connection can be reused or not. But it's a very important flag, because if a connection is "in use"(the connection pool assumes), a new physical connection must be openend to the DBMS what is very expensive.

So you're gaining no performance improvement but the opposite. If the maximum pool size specified (100 is the default) is reached, you would even get exceptions(too many open connections ...). So this will not only impact the performance tremendously but also be a source for nasty errors and (without using Transactions) a data-dumping-area.

If you're even using static connections you're creating a lock for every thread trying to access this object. ASP.NET is a multithreading environment by nature. So theres a great chance for these locks which causes performance issues at best. Actually sooner or later you'll get many different exceptions(like your ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection).

Conclusion:

Don't reuse connections or any ADO.NET objects at all.
Don't make them static/shared(in VB.NET)
Always create, open(in case of Connections), use, close and dispose them where you need them(f.e. in a method)
use the using-statement to dispose and close(in case of Connections) implicitely

That's true not only for Connections(although most noticable). Every object implementing IDisposable should be disposed(simplest by using-statement), all the more in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.

All the above speaks against a custom DB-Class which encapsulates and reuse all objects. That's the reason why i commented to trash it. That's only a problem source.

Edit: Here's a possible implementation of your retrievePromotion-method:

public Promotion retrievePromotion(int promotionID)
{
    Promotion promo = null;
    var connectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MainConnStr"].ConnectionString;
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        var queryString = "SELECT PromotionID, PromotionTitle, PromotionURL FROM Promotion WHERE PromotionID=@PromotionID";
        using (var da = new SqlDataAdapter(queryString, connection))
        {
            // you could also use a SqlDataReader instead
            // note that a DataTable does not need to be disposed since it does not implement IDisposable
            var tblPromotion = new DataTable();
            // avoid SQL-Injection
            da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@PromotionID", SqlDbType.Int);
            da.SelectCommand.Parameters["@PromotionID"].Value = promotionID;
            try
            {
                connection.Open(); // not necessarily needed in this case because DataAdapter.Fill does it otherwise 
                da.Fill(tblPromotion);
                if (tblPromotion.Rows.Count != 0)
                {
                    var promoRow = tblPromotion.Rows[0];
                    promo = new Promotion()
                    {
                        promotionID    = promotionID,
                        promotionTitle = promoRow.Field<String>("PromotionTitle"),
                        promotionUrl   = promoRow.Field<String>("PromotionURL")
                    };
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                // log this exception or throw it up the StackTrace
                // we do not need a finally-block to close the connection since it will be closed implicitely in an using-statement
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
    return promo;
}

Solving "The ObjectContext instance has been disposed and can no longer be used for operations that require a connection" InvalidOperationException

If you're using ASP.NET Core and wonder why you get this message in one of your async controller methods, make sure you return a Task rather than void - ASP.NET Core disposes injected contexts.

(I'm posting this answer as this question is high in the search results to that exception message and it's a subtle issue - maybe it's useful to people who Google for it.)

How to compress a String in Java?

If the passwords are more or less "random" you are out of luck, you will not be able to get a significant reduction in size.

But: Why do you need to compress the passwords? Maybe what you need is not a compression, but some sort of hash value? If you just need to check if a name matches a given password, you don't need do save the password, but can save the hash of a password. To check if a typed in password matches a given name, you can build the hash value the same way and compare it to the saved hash. As a hash (Object.hashCode()) is an int you will be able to store all 20 password-hashes in 80 bytes).

Angular2 - TypeScript : Increment a number after timeout in AppComponent

This is not valid TypeScript code. You can not have method invocations in the body of a class.

// INVALID CODE
export class AppComponent {
  public n: number = 1;
  setTimeout(function() {
    n = n + 10;
  }, 1000);
}

Instead move the setTimeout call to the constructor of the class. Additionally, use the arrow function => to gain access to this.

export class AppComponent {
  public n: number = 1;

  constructor() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.n = this.n + 10;
    }, 1000);
  }

}

In TypeScript, you can only refer to class properties or methods via this. That's why the arrow function => is important.

How to remove MySQL completely with config and library files?

With the command:

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql\*

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

You can list all installed mysql packages with the command:

sudo dpkg -l | grep -i mysql

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

sudo apt-get clean

Also, remember to use the command:

sudo updatedb

Otherwise the "locate" command will display old data.

To install mysql again, use the following command:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-client

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

To install the mysql server, use the command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

How to prevent default event handling in an onclick method?

Using grep to search for hex strings in a file

I just used this:

grep -c $'\x0c' filename

To search for and count a page control character in the file..

So to include an offset in the output:

grep -b -o $'\x0c' filename | less

I am just piping the result to less because the character I am greping for does not print well and the less displays the results cleanly. Output example:

21:^L
23:^L
2005:^L

How to add checkboxes to JTABLE swing

1) JTable knows JCheckbox with built-in Boolean TableCellRenderers and TableCellEditor by default, then there is contraproductive declare something about that,

2) AbstractTableModel should be useful, where is in the JTable required to reduce/restrict/change nested and inherits methods by default implemented in the DefaultTableModel,

3) consider using DefaultTableModel, (if you are not sure about how to works) instead of AbstractTableModel,

table_with_BooleanType_column

could be generated from simple code:

How can I find my php.ini on wordpress?

Use the php_ini_loaded_file function to get the location of your php.ini file.

<?php
$inipath = php_ini_loaded_file();

if ($inipath) {
    echo 'Loaded php.ini: ' . $inipath;
} else {
    echo 'A php.ini file is not loaded';
}

Exception is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement

As pointed out in the comments, you cannot catch an exception that's not thrown by the code within your try block. Try changing your code to:

try{
    Integer.parseInt(args[i-1]); // this only throws a NumberFormatException
}
catch(NumberFormatException e){
    throw new MojException("Bledne dane");
}

Always check the documentation to see what exceptions are thrown by each method. You may also wish to read up on the subject of checked vs unchecked exceptions before that causes you any confusion in the future.

The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode

Amazon S3 and Cloudfront cache, how to clear cache or synchronize their cache

Use Invalidations to clear the cache, you can put the path to the files you want to clear, or simply use wild cards to clear everything.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Invalidation.html#invalidating-objects-api

This can also be done using the API! http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/latest/APIReference/API_CreateInvalidation.html

The AWS PHP SDK now has the methods but if you want to use something lighter check out this library: http://www.subchild.com/2010/09/17/amazon-cloudfront-php-invalidator/

How to make a list of n numbers in Python and randomly select any number?

Maintain a set and remove a randomly picked-up element (with choice) until the list is empty:

s = set(range(1, 6))
import random

while len(s) > 0:
  s.remove(random.choice(list(s)))
  print(s)

Three runs give three different answers:

>>>
set([1, 3, 4, 5])
set([3, 4, 5])
set([3, 4])
set([4])
set([])
>>>
set([1, 2, 3, 5])
set([2, 3, 5])

Unsigned keyword in C++

Yes, it means unsigned int. It used to be that if you didn't specify a data type in C there were many places where it just assumed int. This was try, for example, of function return types.

This wart has mostly been eradicated, but you are encountering its last vestiges here. IMHO, the code should be fixed to say unsigned int to avoid just the sort of confusion you are experiencing.

What is the proper way to re-throw an exception in C#?

You should always use "throw;" to rethrow the exceptions in .NET,

Refer this, http://weblogs.asp.net/bhouse/archive/2004/11/30/272297.aspx

Basically MSIL (CIL) has two instructions - "throw" and "rethrow" and C#'s "throw ex;" gets compiled into MSIL's "throw" and C#'s "throw;" - into MSIL "rethrow"! Basically I can see the reason why "throw ex" overrides the stack trace.

Getting permission denied (public key) on gitlab

I found the solution in gitlab help.

To create a new SSH key pair: 
 1. Open a terminal on Linux or macOS, or Git Bash / WSL on Windows.
 2. Generate a new ED25519 SSH key pair: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
 2.1 Or, if you want to use RSA: ssh-keygen -o -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
 3. Next, you will be prompted to input a file path to save your SSH key pair to... use the suggested path by pressing Enter
 4. Once the path is decided, you will be prompted to input a password to secure your new SSH key pair. It's a best practice to use a password, but it's not required and you can skip creating it by pressing Enter twice.
 5. Copy your public SSH key to the clipboard by using one of the commands below depending on your Operating System:
        macOS:        pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
        WSL / GNU/Linux (requires the xclip package):      xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
        Git Bash on Windows:      cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | clip
 6. Navigating to SSH Keys and pasting your public key in the Key field
 7. Click the Add key button

I hope it can help some of you!

C pointer to array/array of pointers disambiguation

I don't know if it has an official name, but I call it the Right-Left Thingy(TM).

Start at the variable, then go right, and left, and right...and so on.

int* arr1[8];

arr1 is an array of 8 pointers to integers.

int (*arr2)[8];

arr2 is a pointer (the parenthesis block the right-left) to an array of 8 integers.

int *(arr3[8]);

arr3 is an array of 8 pointers to integers.

This should help you out with complex declarations.

Are (non-void) self-closing tags valid in HTML5?

In practice, using self-closing tags in HTML should work just like you'd expect. But if you are concerned about writing valid HTML5, you should understand how the use of such tags behaves within the two different two syntax forms you can use. HTML5 defines both an HTML syntax and an XHTML syntax, which are similar but not identical. Which one is used depends on the media type sent by the web server.

More than likely, your pages are being served as text/html, which follows the more lenient HTML syntax. In these cases, HTML5 allows certain start tags to have an optional / before it's terminating >. In these cases, the / is optional and ignored, so <hr> and <hr /> are identical. The HTML spec calls these "void elements", and gives a list of valid ones. Strictly speaking, the optional / is only valid within the start tags of these void elements; for example, <br /> and <hr /> are valid HTML5, but <p /> is not.

The HTML5 spec makes a clear distinction between what is correct for HTML authors and for web browser developers, with the second group being required to accept all kinds of invalid "legacy" syntax. In this case, it means that HTML5-compliant browsers will accept illegal self-closed tags, like <p />, and render them as you probably expect. But for an author, that page would not be valid HTML5. (More importantly, the DOM tree you get from using this kind of illegal syntax can be seriously screwed up; self-closed <span /> tags, for example, tend to mess things up a lot).

(In the unusual case that your server knows how to send XHTML files as an XML MIME type, the page needs to conform to the XHTML DTD and XML syntax. That means self-closing tags are required for those elements defined as such.)

How to show two figures using matplotlib?

I had this same problem.

Did:

f1 = plt.figure(1)

# code for figure 1

# don't write 'plt.show()' here


f2 = plt.figure(2)

# code for figure 2

plt.show()

Write 'plt.show()' only once, after the last figure. Worked for me.

Making view resize to its parent when added with addSubview

Just copy the parent view's frame to the child-view then add it. After that autoresizing will work. Actually you should only copy the size CGRectMake(0, 0, parentView.frame.size.width, parentView.frame.size.height)

childView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, parentView.frame.size.width, parentView.frame.size.height);
[parentView addSubview:childView];

Python : Trying to POST form using requests

You can use the Session object

import requests

session = requests.Session()
session.post('https://admin.example.com/login.php',headers=headers,data=payload)
# the session instance holds the cookie. So use it to get/post later.
# e.g. session.get('https://example.com/profile')

When does Java's Thread.sleep throw InterruptedException?

You should generally NOT ignore the exception. Take a look at the following paper:

Don't swallow interrupts

Sometimes throwing InterruptedException is not an option, such as when a task defined by Runnable calls an interruptible method. In this case, you can't rethrow InterruptedException, but you also do not want to do nothing. When a blocking method detects interruption and throws InterruptedException, it clears the interrupted status. If you catch InterruptedException but cannot rethrow it, you should preserve evidence that the interruption occurred so that code higher up on the call stack can learn of the interruption and respond to it if it wants to. This task is accomplished by calling interrupt() to "reinterrupt" the current thread, as shown in Listing 3. At the very least, whenever you catch InterruptedException and don't rethrow it, reinterrupt the current thread before returning.
public class TaskRunner implements Runnable {
    private BlockingQueue<Task> queue;

    public TaskRunner(BlockingQueue<Task> queue) { 
        this.queue = queue; 
    }

    public void run() { 
        try {
             while (true) {
                 Task task = queue.take(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
                 task.execute();
             }
         }
         catch (InterruptedException e) { 
             // Restore the interrupted status
             Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
         }
    }
}

Load jQuery with Javascript and use jQuery

The reason you are getting this error is that JavaScript is not waiting for the script to be loaded, so when you run

jQuery(document).ready(function(){...

there is not guarantee that the script is ready (and never will be).

This is not the most elegant solution but its workable. Essentially you can check every 1 second for the jQuery object ad run a function when its loaded with your code in it. I would add a timeout (say clearTimeout after its been run 20 times) as well to stop the check from occurring indefinitely.

var jQueryIsReady = function(){
    //Your JQuery code here
}

var checkJquery = function(){
    if(typeof jQuery === "undefined"){
        return false;
    }else{
        clearTimeout(interval);
        jQueryIsReady();
    }
}
var interval = setInterval(checkJquery,1000);

returning a Void object

The Void class is an uninstantiable placeholder class to hold a reference to the Class object representing the Java keyword void.

So any of the following would suffice:

parameterizing with Object and returning new Object() or null
parameterizing with Void and returning null
parameterizing with a NullObject of yours

You can't make this method void, and anything else returns something. Since that something is ignored, you can return anything.

How to generate a range of numbers between two numbers?

Here is a generic and relatively fast solution that outputs integers from 1 to @n. It works with any positive integer of @n (very large numbers will cause arithmetic overflow) without needing to add or remove table joins. It doesn't require the use of system tables nor do you to change max recursions.

declare @n int = 10000 

;with d as (select * from (values (0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) x (d)),
n as ( 
    select d x from d where d > 0 and d <= @n
    union all
    select x * 10 + d from n, d where x * 10 + d <= @n
)
select x from n

You can add an order by clause to sort the numbers.

Disable Proximity Sensor during call

After trying a whole bunch of fixes including:

Phone app's menu option (my phone did not have a option to disable)
Proximity Screen Off Lite (did not work)
Xposed Framework with sensor disabler (works till phone is rebooted or app updates)
Macrodroid macro (Macrodroid does not run on my phone for some reason)
put some tin foil in front of it?(i don't know what i was thinking)

Here is My fix: I figured you cannot break it more so I opened up my phone and removed the proximity sensor all together from the motherboard. The sensor tester app now shows "no_value" where it use to give "Distance: 0" and my screen no longer goes black after dialing. Please note I can only confirm this working on a Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III mini with CM MOD 5.1.1. Here is a picture of the device i removed: I have removed it using a SMD solder station's heat gun at 400 degrees, some tweezers and flux.But a sharp hobby knife might work too.

Updating GUI (WPF) using a different thread

You may use a delegate to solve this issue. Here is an example that is showing how to update a textBox using diffrent thread

public delegate void UpdateTextCallback(string message);

    {
        Thread.Sleep(1000);                
        richTextBox1.Dispatcher.Invoke(
            new UpdateTextCallback(this.UpdateText),
            new object[] { i.ToString() }
        );
    }
}
private void UpdateText(string message)
{
    richTextBox1.AppendText(message + "\n");
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   Thread test = new Thread(new ThreadStart(TestThread));
   test.Start();
}

TestThread method is used by thread named test to update textBox

How do I return the SQL data types from my query?

There MUST be en easier way to do this... Low and behold, there is...!

"sp_describe_first_result_set" is your friend!

Now I do realise the question was asked specifically for SQL Server 2000, but I was looking for a similar solution for later versions and discovered some native support in SQL to achieve this.

In SQL Server 2012 onwards cf. "sp_describe_first_result_set" - Link to BOL

I had already implemented a solution using a technique similar to @Trisped's above and ripped it out to implement the native SQL Server implementation.

In case you're not on SQL Server 2012 or Azure SQL Database yet, here's the stored proc I created for pre-2012 era databases:

How to scroll up or down the page to an anchor using jQuery?

Here is the solution that worked for me. This is a generic function which works for all of the a tags referring to a named a

$("a[href^=#]").on('click', function(event) { 
    event.preventDefault(); 
    var name = $(this).attr('href'); 
    var target = $('a[name="' + name.substring(1) + '"]'); 
    $('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: $(target).offset().top }, 'slow'); 
});

Note 1: Make sure that you use double quotes " in your html. If you use single quotes, change the above part of the code to var target = $("a[name='" + name.substring(1) + "']");

Note 2: In some cases, especially when you use the sticky bar from the bootstrap, the named a will hide beneath the navigation bar. In those cases (or any similar case), you can reduce the number of the pixels from your scroll to achieve the optimal location. For example: $('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: $(target).offset().top - 15 }, 'slow'); will take you to the target with 15 pixels left on the top.

How to convert char* to wchar_t*?

I did something like this. The first 2 zeros are because I don't know what kind of ascii type things this command wants from me. The general feeling I had was to create a temp char array. pass in the wide char array. boom. it works. The +1 ensures that the null terminating character is in the right place.

char tempFilePath[MAX_PATH] = "I want to convert this to wide chars";

int len = strlen(tempFilePath);

// Converts the path to wide characters
    int needed = MultiByteToWideChar(0, 0, tempFilePath, len + 1, strDestPath, len + 1);

CSS display:inline property with list-style-image: property on <li> tags

You want the list items to line up next to each other, but not really be inline elements. So float them instead:

ol.widgets li { 
    float: left;
    margin-left: 10px;
}

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it

Try to open Services Window, by writing services.msc into Start->Run and hit Enter.

When window appears, then find SQL Browser service, right click and choose Properties, and then in dropdown list choose Automatic, or Manual, whatever you want, and click OK. Eventually, if not started immediately, you can again press right click on this service and click Start.

What is the difference between a hash join and a merge join (Oracle RDBMS )?

I just want to edit this for posterity that the tags for oracle weren't added when I answered this question. My response was more applicable to MS SQL.

Merge join is the best possible as it exploits the ordering, resulting in a single pass down the tables to do the join. IF you have two tables (or covering indexes) that have their ordering the same such as a primary key and an index of a table on that key then a merge join would result if you performed that action.

Hash join is the next best, as it's usually done when one table has a small number (relatively) of items, its effectively creating a temp table with hashes for each row which is then searched continuously to create the join.

Worst case is nested loop which is order (n * m) which means there is no ordering or size to exploit and the join is simply, for each row in table x, search table y for joins to do.

Get clicked element using jQuery on event?

You are missing the event parameter on your function.

std::thread calling method of class

Not so hard:

#include <thread>

void Test::runMultiThread()
{
    std::thread t1(&Test::calculate, this,  0, 10);
    std::thread t2(&Test::calculate, this, 11, 20);
    t1.join();
    t2.join();
}

If the result of the computation is still needed, use a future instead:

#include <future>

void Test::runMultiThread()
{
     auto f1 = std::async(&Test::calculate, this,  0, 10);
     auto f2 = std::async(&Test::calculate, this, 11, 20);

     auto res1 = f1.get();
     auto res2 = f2.get();
}

Which "href" value should I use for JavaScript links, "#" or "javascript:void(0)"?

What I understand from your words is that you want to create a link just to run JavaScript code.

Then you should consider that there are people who blocks JavaScript out there in their browsers.

So if you are really going to use that link only for running a JavaScript function then you should add it dynamically so it won't be even seen if the users didn't enable their JavaScript in the browser and you are using that link just to trigger a JavaScript function which makes no sense to use a link like that when JavaScript is disabled in the browser.

For that reason neither of them is good when JavaScript is disabled.

Aand if JavaScript is enabled and you only want to use that link to invoke a JavaScript function then

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="myJsFunc();">Link</a>

is far better way than using

<a href="#" onclick="myJsFunc();">Link</a>

because href="#" is going to cause the page to do actions that are not needed.

Also, another reason why <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="myJsFunc();">Link</a> is better than <a href="#" onclick="myJsFunc();">Link</a> is that JavaScript is used as the default scripting language for most of the browsers. As an example Internet Explorer, uses an onclick attribute to define the type of scripting language that would be used. Unless another good scripting language pops up, JavaScript will be used by Internet Explorer as the default too, but if another scripting language used javascript:, it would let Internet Explorer to understand which scripting language is being used.

Considering this, I would prefer using and exercising on

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="myJsFunc();">Link</a>

enough to make it a habit and to be more user friendly please add that kind of links within the JavaScript code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".blabla").append('<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="myJsFunc();">Link</a>')
});

How do I check that a Java String is not all whitespaces?

I would use the Apache Commons Lang library. It has a class called StringUtils that is useful for all sorts of String operations. For checking if a String is not all whitespaces, you can use the following:

StringUtils.isBlank(<your string>)

Here is the reference: StringUtils.isBlank

Vue.js - How to properly watch for nested data

Here's a way to write watchers for nested properties:

    new Vue({
        ...allYourOtherStuff,
        watch: {
            ['foo.bar'](newValue, oldValue) {
                // Do stuff here
            }
        }
    });

You can even use this syntax for asynchronous watchers:

    new Vue({
        ...allYourOtherStuff,
        watch: {
            async ['foo.bar'](newValue, oldValue) {
                // Do stuff here
            }
        }
    });

Spring MVC @PathVariable with dot (.) is getting truncated

In Spring Boot, The Regular expression solve the problem like

@GetMapping("/path/{param1:.+}")

Best way to check function arguments?

There are different ways to check what a variable is in Python. So, to list a few:

isinstance(obj, type) function takes your variable, obj and gives you True is it is the same type of the type you listed.
issubclass(obj, class) function that takes in a variable obj, and gives you True if obj is a subclass of class. So for example issubclass(Rabbit, Animal) would give you a True value
hasattr is another example, demonstrated by this function, super_len:

def super_len(o):
    if hasattr(o, '__len__'):
        return len(o)

    if hasattr(o, 'len'):
        return o.len

    if hasattr(o, 'fileno'):
        try:
            fileno = o.fileno()
        except io.UnsupportedOperation:
            pass
        else:
            return os.fstat(fileno).st_size

    if hasattr(o, 'getvalue'):
        # e.g. BytesIO, cStringIO.StringI
        return len(o.getvalue())

hasattr leans more towards duck-typing, and something that is usually more pythonic but that term is up opinionated.

Just as a note, assert statements are usually used in testing, otherwise, just use if/else statements.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;

That method was added in Servlet 2.5.

So this problem can have at least 3 causes:

The servlet container does not support Servlet 2.5.
The web.xml is not declared conform Servlet 2.5 or newer.
The webapp's runtime classpath is littered with servlet container specific JAR files of a different servlet container make/version which does not support Servlet 2.5.

To solve it,

Make sure that your servlet container supports at least Servlet 2.5. That are at least Tomcat 6, Glassfish 2, JBoss AS 4.1, etcetera. Tomcat 5.5 for example supports at highest Servlet 2.4. If you can't upgrade Tomcat, then you'd need to downgrade Spring to a Servlet 2.4 compatible version.
Make sure that the root declaration of web.xml complies Servlet 2.5 (or newer, at least the highest whatever your target runtime supports). For an example, see also somewhere halfway our servlets wiki page.
Make sure that you don't have any servlet container specific libraries like servlet-api.jar or j2ee.jar in /WEB-INF/lib or even worse, the JRE/lib or JRE/lib/ext. They do not belong there. This is a pretty common beginner's mistake in an attempt to circumvent compilation errors in an IDE, see also How do I import the javax.servlet API in my Eclipse project?.

Live-stream video from one android phone to another over WiFi

If you do not need the recording and playback functionality in your app, using off-the-shelf streaming app and player is a reasonable choice.

If you do need them to be in your app, however, you will have to look into MediaRecorder API (for the server/camera app) and MediaPlayer (for client/player app).

Quick sample code for the server:

// this is your network socket
ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = ParcelFileDescriptor.fromSocket(socket);
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
mMediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mCamera.unlock();
mMediaRecorder.setCamera(mCamera);
mMediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
// this is the unofficially supported MPEG2TS format, suitable for streaming (Android 3.0+)
mMediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(8);
mMediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.DEFAULT);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(pfd.getFileDescriptor());
mMediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(mPreview.getHolder().getSurface());
mMediaRecorder.prepare();
mMediaRecorder.start();

On the player side it is a bit tricky, you could try this:

// this is your network socket, connected to the server
ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = ParcelFileDescriptor.fromSocket(socket);
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(pfd.getFileDescriptor());
mMediaPlayer.prepare();
mMediaPlayer.start();

Unfortunately mediaplayer tends to not like this, so you have a couple of options: either (a) save data from socket to file and (after you have a bit of data) play with mediaplayer from file, or (b) make a tiny http proxy that runs locally and can accept mediaplayer's GET request, reply with HTTP headers, and then copy data from the remote server to it. For (a) you would create the mediaplayer with a file path or file url, for (b) give it a http url pointing to your proxy.

Is there a way to make HTML5 video fullscreen?

2020 answer

HTML 5 provides no way to make a video fullscreen, but the parallel Fullscreen API defines an API for elements to display themselves fullscreen.

This can be applied to any element, including videos.

Browser support is good, but Internet Explorer and Safari need prefixed versions.

An external demo is provided as Stack Snippet sandboxing rules break it.

<div id="one">
    One
</div>

<div id="two">
    Two
</div>

<button>one</button>
<button>two</button>

div {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
}
#one { background: yellow; }
#two { background: pink; }

addEventListener("click", event => {
    const btn = event.target;
    if (btn.tagName.toLowerCase() !== "button") return;
    const id = btn.textContent;
    const div = document.getElementById(id);
    if (div.requestFullscreen) 
        div.requestFullscreen();
    else if (div.webkitRequestFullscreen) 
        div.webkitRequestFullscreen();
    else if (div.msRequestFullScreen) 
      div.msRequestFullScreen();
});

2012 answer

HTML 5 provides no way to make a video fullscreen, but the parallel Fullscreen specification supplies the requestFullScreen method which allows arbitrary elements (including <video> elements) to be made fullscreen.

It has experimental support in a number of browsers.

2009 answer

Note: this has since been removed from the specification.

From the HTML5 spec (at the time of writing: June '09):

User agents should not provide a public API to cause videos to be shown full-screen. A script, combined with a carefully crafted video file, could trick the user into thinking a system-modal dialog had been shown, and prompt the user for a password. There is also the danger of "mere" annoyance, with pages launching full-screen videos when links are clicked or pages navigated. Instead, user-agent specific interface features may be provided to easily allow the user to obtain a full-screen playback mode.

Browsers may provide a user interface, but shouldn't provide a programmable one.

How to use multiprocessing queue in Python?

We implemented two versions of this, one a simple multi thread pool that can execute many types of callables, making our lives much easier and the second version that uses processes, which is less flexible in terms of callables and requires and extra call to dill.

Setting frozen_pool to true will freeze execution until finish_pool_queue is called in either class.

What is System, out, println in System.out.println() in Java

Whenever you're confused, I would suggest consulting the Javadoc as the first place for your clarification.

From the javadoc about System, here's what the doc says:

public final class System
extends Object

The System class contains several useful class fields and methods. It cannot be instantiated.
Among the facilities provided by the System class are standard input, standard output, and error output streams; access to externally defined properties and environment variables; a means of loading files and libraries; and a utility method for quickly copying a portion of an array.

Since:
JDK1.0

Regarding System.out

public static final PrintStream out
The "standard" output stream. This stream is already open and ready to accept output data. Typically this stream corresponds to display output or another output destination specified by the host environment or user.
For simple stand-alone Java applications, a typical way to write a line of output data is:

     System.out.println(data)
