Programs & Examples On #Css reset

CSS reset is a technique that allows you to make chosen elements display in (roughly) the same way by default in different browsers. Came to exist since different browsers rendered basic HTML elements with their own styling, which - obviously - differed. Ties with css-cross-browser, but is more specific.

Turn off iPhone/Safari input element rounding

The accepted answer made radio button disappear on Chrome. This works:

input:not([type="radio"]):not([type="checkbox"]) {
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    border-radius: 0;
}

How to make padding:auto work in CSS?

if you're goal is to reset EVERYTHING then @Björn's answer should be your goal but applied as:

* {
  padding: initial;
}

if this is loaded after your original reset.css should have the same weight and will rely on each browser's default padding as initial value.

How to remove margin space around body or clear default css styles

try to ad the following in your CSS:

body, html{
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}

How to convert a string to an integer in JavaScript?

Try parseInt.

var number = parseInt("10", 10); //number will have value of 10.

How to asynchronously call a method in Java

You may wish to also consider the class java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.

If you are using Java 5 or later, FutureTask is a turnkey implementation of "A cancellable asynchronous computation."

There are even richer asynchronous execution scheduling behaviors available in the java.util.concurrent package (for example, ScheduledExecutorService), but FutureTask may have all the functionality you require.

I would even go so far as to say that it is no longer advisable to use the first code pattern you gave as an example ever since FutureTask became available. (Assuming you are on Java 5 or later.)

Border Height on CSS

table td {
    border-right:1px solid #000;
    height: 100%;
}

Just you add height under the border property.

Using Notepad++ to validate XML against an XSD

  1. In Notepad++ go to Plugins > Plugin manager > Show Plugin Manager then find Xml Tools plugin. Tick the box and click Install

    enter image description here

  2. Open XML document you want to validate and click Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M (Or use Menu if this is your preference Plugins > XML Tools > Validate Now).
    Following dialog will open: enter image description here

  3. Click on .... Point to XSD file and I am pretty sure you'll be able to handle things from here.

Hope this saves you some time.

EDIT: Plugin manager was not included in some versions of Notepad++ because many users didn't like commercials that it used to show. If you want to keep an older version, however still want plugin manager, you can get it on github, and install it by extracting the archive and copying contents to plugins and updates folder.
In version 7.7.1 plugin manager is back under a different guise... Plugin Admin so now you can simply update notepad++ and have it back.

Fastest Way to Find Distance Between Two Lat/Long Points

  • Create your points using Point values of Geometry data types in MyISAM table. As of Mysql 5.7.5, InnoDB tables now also support SPATIAL indices.

  • Create a SPATIAL index on these points

  • Use MBRContains() to find the values:

    SELECT  *
    FROM    table
    WHERE   MBRContains(LineFromText(CONCAT(
            '('
            , @lon + 10 / ( 111.1 / cos(RADIANS(@lon)))
            , ' '
            , @lat + 10 / 111.1
            , ','
            , @lon - 10 / ( 111.1 / cos(RADIANS(@lat)))
            , ' '
            , @lat - 10 / 111.1 
            , ')' )
            ,mypoint)
    

, or, in MySQL 5.1 and above:

    SELECT  *
    FROM    table
    WHERE   MBRContains
                    (
                    LineString
                            (
                            Point (
                                    @lon + 10 / ( 111.1 / COS(RADIANS(@lat))),
                                    @lat + 10 / 111.1
                                  ),
                            Point (
                                    @lon - 10 / ( 111.1 / COS(RADIANS(@lat))),
                                    @lat - 10 / 111.1
                                  ) 
                            ),
                    mypoint
                    )

This will select all points approximately within the box (@lat +/- 10 km, @lon +/- 10km).

This actually is not a box, but a spherical rectangle: latitude and longitude bound segment of the sphere. This may differ from a plain rectangle on the Franz Joseph Land, but quite close to it on most inhabited places.

  • Apply additional filtering to select everything inside the circle (not the square)

  • Possibly apply additional fine filtering to account for the big circle distance (for large distances)

What is the backslash character (\\)?

\ is used for escape sequences in programming languages.

\n prints a newline
\\ prints a backslash
\" prints "
\t prints a tabulator
\b moves the cursor one back

How to create a directive with a dynamic template in AngularJS?

I have been in the same situation, my complete solution has been posted here

Basically I load a template in the directive in this way

var tpl = '' + 
    <div ng-if="maxLength" 
        ng-include="\'length.tpl.html\'">
    </div>' +
    '<div ng-if="required" 
        ng-include="\'required.tpl.html\'">
    </div>';

then according to the value of maxLength and required I can dynamically load one of the 2 templates, only one of them at a time is shown if necessary.

I heope it helps.

PHP Constants Containing Arrays?

You can store them as static variables of a class:

class Constants {
    public static $array = array('guy', 'development team');
}
# Warning: array can be changed lateron, so this is not a real constant value:
Constants::$array[] = 'newValue';

If you don't like the idea that the array can be changed by others, a getter might help:

class Constants {
    private static $array = array('guy', 'development team');
    public static function getArray() {
        return self::$array;
    }
}
$constantArray = Constants::getArray();

EDIT

Since PHP5.4, it is even possible to access array values without the need for intermediate variables, i.e. the following works:

$x = Constants::getArray()['index'];

How to reset all checkboxes using jQuery or pure JS?

If you mean how to remove the 'checked' state from all checkboxes:

$('input:checkbox').removeAttr('checked');

converting a base 64 string to an image and saving it

public bool SaveBase64(string Dir, string FileName, string FileType, string Base64ImageString)
{
    try
    {
        string folder = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/") + Dir;
        if (!Directory.Exists(folder))
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
        }

        string filePath = folder + "/" + FileName + "." + FileType;
        File.WriteAllBytes(filePath, Convert.FromBase64String(Base64ImageString));
        return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        return false;
    }

}

Error : No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/icon')

Found this question. I was importing an old project into android studio and got the error.

The issue was eventually answered for me here mipmap drawables for icons

In the manifest it has

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
...

but @drawable has been superseded by @mipmap so needed changing to:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
...

I put this answer here, as it may become a more common issue.

How do you migrate an IIS 7 site to another server?

I'd say export your server config in IIS manager:

  1. In IIS manager, click the Server node
  2. Go to Shared Configuration under "Management"
  3. Click “Export Configuration”. (You can use a password if you are sending them across the internet, if you are just gonna move them via a USB key then don't sweat it.)
  4. Move these files to your new server

    administration.config
    applicationHost.config
    configEncKey.key 
    
  5. On the new server, go back to the “Shared Configuration” section and check “Enable shared configuration.” Enter the location in physical path to these files and apply them.

  6. It should prompt for the encryption password(if you set it) and reset IIS.

BAM! Go have a beer!

Assign width to half available screen width declaratively

Another way for single item in center, which fill half of screen:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <View

            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:visibility="invisible" />

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="2" />

       <View

Create a new line in Java's FileWriter

If you mean use the same code but add a new line so that when you add something to the file it will be on a new line. You can simply use BufferedWriter's newLine().
Here I have Improved you code also: NumberFormatException was unnecessary as nothing was being cast to a number data type, saving variables to use once also was.

try {
    BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("file.txt"));
        writer.write(jTextField1.getText());
        writer.write(jTextField2.getText());
        writer.newLine();
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
    System.out.println("File could not be created");
}

Does reading an entire file leave the file handle open?

Well, if you have to read file line by line to work with each line, you can use

with open('Path/to/file', 'r') as f:
    s = f.readline()
    while s:
        # do whatever you want to
        s = f.readline()

Or even better way:

with open('Path/to/file') as f:
    for line in f:
        # do whatever you want to

What's the syntax to import a class in a default package in Java?

It is not a compilation error at all! You can import a default package to a default package class only.

If you do so for another package, then it shall be a compilation error.

Integer expression expected error in shell script

If you are using -o (or -a), it needs to be inside the brackets of the test command:

if [ "$age" -le "7" -o "$age" -ge " 65" ]

However, their use is deprecated, and you should use separate test commands joined by || (or &&) instead:

if [ "$age" -le "7" ] || [ "$age" -ge " 65" ]

Make sure the closing brackets are preceded with whitespace, as they are technically arguments to [, not simply syntax.

In bash and some other shells, you can use the superior [[ expression as shown in kamituel's answer. The above will work in any POSIX-compliant shell.

How to open CSV file in R when R says "no such file or directory"?

Difference between VARCHAR and TEXT in MySQL

There is an important detail that has been omitted in the answer above.

MySQL imposes a limit of 65,535 bytes for the max size of each row. The size of a VARCHAR column is counted towards the maximum row size, while TEXT columns are assumed to be storing their data by reference so they only need 9-12 bytes. That means even if the "theoretical" max size of your VARCHAR field is 65,535 characters you won't be able to achieve that if you have more than one column in your table.

Also note that the actual number of bytes required by a VARCHAR field is dependent on the encoding of the column (and the content). MySQL counts the maximum possible bytes used toward the max row size, so if you use a multibyte encoding like utf8mb4 (which you almost certainly should) it will use up even more of your maximum row size.

Correction: Regardless of how MySQL computes the max row size, whether or not the VARCHAR/TEXT field data is ACTUALLY stored in the row or stored by reference depends on your underlying storage engine. For InnoDB the row format affects this behavior. (Thanks Bill-Karwin)

Reasons to use TEXT:

  • If you want to store a paragraph or more of text
  • If you don't need to index the column
  • If you have reached the row size limit for your table

Reasons to use VARCHAR:

  • If you want to store a few words or a sentence
  • If you want to index the (entire) column
  • If you want to use the column with foreign-key constraints

virtualenvwrapper and Python 3

If you already have python3 installed as well virtualenvwrapper the only thing you would need to do to use python3 with the virtual environment is creating an environment using:

which python3 #Output: /usr/bin/python3
mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 nameOfEnvironment

Or, (at least on OSX using brew):

mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3` nameOfEnvironment

Start using the environment and you'll see that as soon as you type python you'll start using python3

The database cannot be opened because it is version 782. This server supports version 706 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported

Another solution is to migrate the database to e.g 2012 when you "export" the DB from e.g. Sql Server manager 2014. This is done in menu Tasks-> generate scripts when right-click on DB. Just follow this instruction:

https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2810/how-to-migrate-a-sql-server-database-to-a-lower-version/

It generates an scripts with everything and then in your SQL server manager e.g. 2012 run the script as specified in the instruction. I have performed the test with success.

Spring Data: "delete by" is supported?

Yes , deleteBy method is supported To use it you need to annotate method with @Transactional

How do I print my Java object without getting "SomeType@2f92e0f4"?

In intellij you can auto generate toString method by pressing alt+inset and then selecting toString() here is an out put for a test class:

public class test  {
int a;
char b;
String c;
Test2 test2;

@Override
public String toString() {
    return "test{" +
            "a=" + a +
            ", b=" + b +
            ", c='" + c + '\'' +
            ", test2=" + test2 +
            '}';
 }
}

As you can see, it generates a String by concatenating, several attributes of the class, for primitives it will print their values and for reference types it will use their class type (in this case to string method of Test2).

MVC Redirect to View from jQuery with parameters

i used to do like this

inside view

<script type="text/javascript">

//will replace the '_transactionIds_' and '_payeeId_' 
var _addInvoiceUrl = '@(Html.Raw( Url.Action("PayableInvoiceMainEditor", "Payables", new { warehouseTransactionIds ="_transactionIds_",payeeId = "_payeeId_", payeeType="Vendor" })))';

on javascript file

var url = _addInvoiceUrl.replace('_transactionIds_', warehouseTransactionIds).replace('_payeeId_', payeeId);
        window.location.href = url;

in this way i can able to pass the parameter values on demand..

by using @Html.Raw, url will not get amp; for parameters

How do I correctly setup and teardown for my pytest class with tests?

As @Bruno suggested, using pytest fixtures is another solution that is accessible for both test classes or even just simple test functions. Here's an example testing python2.7 functions:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(scope='function')
def some_resource(request):
    stuff_i_setup = ["I setup"]

    def some_teardown():
        stuff_i_setup[0] += " ... but now I'm torn down..."
        print stuff_i_setup[0]
    request.addfinalizer(some_teardown)

    return stuff_i_setup[0]

def test_1_that_needs_resource(some_resource):
    print some_resource + "... and now I'm testing things..."

So, running test_1... produces:

I setup... and now I'm testing things...
I setup ... but now I'm torn down...

Notice that stuff_i_setup is referenced in the fixture, allowing that object to be setup and torn down for the test it's interacting with. You can imagine this could be useful for a persistent object, such as a hypothetical database or some connection, that must be cleared before each test runs to keep them isolated.

"RuntimeError: Make sure the Graphviz executables are on your system's path" after installing Graphviz 2.38

Using conda install graphviz and conda install python-graphviz to install GraphViz on Windows10 the path needed was C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/Library/bin/graphviz/ for me. I.e. adding

os.environ["PATH"] += os.pathsep + 'C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/Library/bin/graphviz/'

solved the issue for me.

What is w3wp.exe?

  • A worker process runs as an executables file named W3wp.exe
  • A Worker Process is user mode code whose role is to process requests, such as processing requests to return a static page.

  • The worker process is controlled by the www service.

  • worker processes also run application code, Such as ASP .NET applications and XML web Services.

  • When Application pool receive the request, it simply pass the request to worker process (w3wp.exe) . The worker process“w3wp.exe” looks up the URL of the request in order to load the correct ISAPI extension. ISAPI extensions are the IIS way to handle requests for different resources. Once ASP.NET is installed, it installs its own ISAPI extension (aspnet_isapi.dll)and adds the mapping into IIS.

  • When Worker process loads the aspnet_isapi.dll, it start an HTTPRuntime, which is the entry point of an application. HTTPRuntime is a class which calls the ProcessRequest method to start Processing.

What is the correct way to check for string equality in JavaScript?

what led me to this question is the padding and white-spaces

so maybe you have to use trim function like this

var title = $(this).text().trim();

HTML image bottom alignment inside DIV container

Flexboxes can accomplish this by using align-items: flex-end; with display: flex; or display: inline-flex;

div#imageContainer {
    height: 160px;  
    align-items: flex-end;
    display: flex;

    /* This is the default value, so you only need to explicitly set it if it's already being set to something else elsewhere. */
    /*flex-direction: row;*/
}

What does `return` keyword mean inside `forEach` function?

From the Mozilla Developer Network:

There is no way to stop or break a forEach() loop other than by throwing an exception. If you need such behavior, the forEach() method is the wrong tool.

Early termination may be accomplished with:

The other Array methods: every(), some(), find(), and findIndex() test the array elements with a predicate returning a truthy value to determine if further iteration is required.

Laravel 5.2 - pluck() method returns array

In the original example, why not use the select() method in your database query?

$name = DB::table('users')->where('name', 'John')->select("id");

This will be faster than using a PHP framework, for it'll utilize the SQL query to do the row selection for you. For ordinary collections, I don't believe this applies, but since you're using a database...

How to resolve git status "Unmerged paths:"?

Another way of dealing with this situation if your files ARE already checked in, and your files have been merged (but not committed, so the merge conflicts are inserted into the file) is to run:

git reset

This will switch to HEAD, and tell git to forget any merge conflicts, and leave the working directory as is. Then you can edit the files in question (search for the "Updated upstream" notices). Once you've dealt with the conflicts, you can run

git add -p

which will allow you to interactively select which changes you want to add to the index. Once the index looks good (git diff --cached), you can commit, and then

git reset --hard

to destroy all the unwanted changes in your working directory.

How to use componentWillMount() in React Hooks?

There is a nice workaround to implement componentDidMount and componentWillUnmount with useEffect.

Based on the documentation, useEffect can return a "cleanup" function. this function will not be invoked on the first useEffect call, only on subsequent calls.

Therefore, if we use the useEffect hook with no dependencies at all, the hook will be called only when the component is mounted and the "cleanup" function is called when the component is unmounted.

useEffect(() => {
    console.log('componentDidMount');

    return () => {
        console.log('componentWillUnmount');
    };
}, []);

The cleanup return function call is invoked only when the component is unmounted.

Hope this helps.

The closest validation of my theory i can find it from RFC 4253:

The "ssh-rsa" key format has the following specific encoding:

  string    "ssh-rsa"
  mpint     e
  mpint     n

Here the 'e' and 'n' parameters form the signature key blob.

But it doesn't explain the length prefixes.

From RFC3447 - Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1: RSA Cryptography Specifications Version 2.1:

A.1.1 RSA public key syntax

An RSA public key should be represented with the ASN.1 type RSAPublicKey:

  RSAPublicKey ::= SEQUENCE {
     modulus           INTEGER,  -- n
     publicExponent    INTEGER   -- e
  }

The fields of type RSAPublicKey have the following meanings:

  • modulus is the RSA modulus n.
  • publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e.

Using Microsoft's excellent (and the only real) ASN.1 documentation:

30 82 01 0a       ;SEQUENCE (0x010A bytes: 266 bytes)
|  02 82 01 01    ;INTEGER  (0x0101 bytes: 257 bytes)

The problem is likely that you are calling URLEncoder.encode() on something that already is a URI.

Authentication issue when debugging in VS2013 - iis express

As I was researching this I found my answer, but can't find the answer on the internet, so I thought I'd share this:

I fixed my issue by modifying my applicationhost.config file. My file was saved in the "\My Documents\IISExpress\config" folder.

It seems that VS2013 was ignoring my web.config file and applying different authentication methods.

I had to modify this portion of the file to look like the below. In truth, I only modified the anonymousAuthentication to be false and the windowsAuthentication mode to true.

<authentication>

  <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" userName="" />

  <basicAuthentication enabled="false" />

  <clientCertificateMappingAuthentication enabled="false" />

  <digestAuthentication enabled="false" />

  <iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication enabled="false">
  </iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication>

  <windowsAuthentication enabled="true">
    <providers>
      <add value="Negotiate" />
      <add value="NTLM" />
    </providers>
  </windowsAuthentication>

</authentication>

How can Print Preview be called from Javascript?

I think the best that's possible in cross-browser JavaScript is window.print(), which (in Firefox 3, for me) brings up the 'print' dialog and not the print preview dialog.

FYI, the print dialog is your computer's Print popup, what you get when you do Ctrl-p. The print preview is Firefox's own Preview window, and it has more options. It's what you get with Firefox Menu > Print...

Angular directives - when and how to use compile, controller, pre-link and post-link

What is the difference between a source template and an instance template?

The fact that Angular allows DOM manipulation means that the input markup into the compilation process sometimes differ from the output. Particularly, some input markup may be cloned a few times (like with ng-repeat) before being rendered to the DOM.

Angular terminology is a bit inconsistent, but it still distinguishes between two types of markups:

  • Source template - the markup to be cloned, if needed. If cloned, this markup will not be rendered to the DOM.
  • Instance template - the actual markup to be rendered to the DOM. If cloning is involved, each instance will be a clone.

The following markup demonstrates this:

<div ng-repeat="i in [0,1,2]">
    <my-directive>{{i}}</my-directive>
</div>

The source html defines

    <my-directive>{{i}}</my-directive>

which serves as the source template.

But as it is wrapped within an ng-repeat directive, this source template will be cloned (3 times in our case). These clones are instance template, each will appear in the DOM and be bound to the relevant scope.

Adding a newline character within a cell (CSV)

I have the same issue, when I try to export the content of email to csv and still keep it break line when importing to excel.

I export the conent as this: ="Line 1"&CHAR(10)&"Line 2"

When I import it to excel(google), excel understand it as string. It still not break new line.

We need to trigger excel to treat it as formula by: Format -> Number | Scientific.

This is not the good way but it resolve my issue.

How to search for a part of a word with ElasticSearch

you can use regexp.

{ "_id" : "1", "name" : "John Doeman" , "function" : "Janitor"}
{ "_id" : "2", "name" : "Jane Doewoman","function" : "Teacher"  }
{ "_id" : "3", "name" : "Jimmy Jackal" ,"function" : "Student"  } 

if you use this query :

{
  "query": {
    "regexp": {
      "name": "J.*"
    }
  }
}

you will given all of data that their name start with "J".Consider you want to receive just the first two record that their name end with "man" so you can use this query :

{
  "query": { 
    "regexp": {
      "name": ".*man"
    }
  }
}

and if you want to receive all record that in their name exist "m" , you can use this query :

{
  "query": { 
    "regexp": {
      "name": ".*m.*"
    }
  }
}

This works for me .And I hope my answer be suitable for solve your problem.

Java current machine name and logged in user?

To get the currently logged in user:

System.getProperty("user.name");

To get the host name of the machine:

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();

To answer the last part of your question, the Java API says that getHostName() will return

the host name for this IP address, or if the operation is not allowed by the security check, the textual representation of the IP address.

How do I change the default index page in Apache?

I recommend using .htaccess. You only need to add:

DirectoryIndex home.php

or whatever page name you want to have for it.

EDIT: basic htaccess tutorial.

1) Create .htaccess file in the directory where you want to change the index file.

  • no extension
  • . in front, to ensure it is a "hidden" file

Enter the line above in there. There will likely be many, many other things you will add to this (AddTypes for webfonts / media files, caching for headers, gzip declaration for compression, etc.), but that one line declares your new "home" page.

2) Set server to allow reading of .htaccess files (may only be needed on your localhost, if your hosting servce defaults to allow it as most do)

Assuming you have access, go to your server's enabled site location. I run a Debian server for development, and the default site setup is at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default for Debian / Ubuntu. Not sure what server you run, but just search for "sites-available" and go into the "default" document. In there you will see an entry for Directory. Modify it to look like this:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Then restart your apache server. Again, not sure about your server, but the command on Debian / Ubuntu is:

sudo service apache2 restart

Technically you only need to reload, but I restart just because I feel safer with a full refresh like that.

Once that is done, your site should be reading from your .htaccess file, and you should have a new default home page! A side note, if you have a sub-directory that runs a site (like an admin section or something) and you want to have a different "home page" for that directory, you can just plop another .htaccess file in that sub-site's root and it will overwrite the declaration in the parent.

Split a string by another string in C#

The easiest way is to use String.Replace:

string myString = "THExxQUICKxxBROWNxxFOX";
mystring = mystring.Replace("xx", ", ");

Or more simply:

string myString = "THExxQUICKxxBROWNxxFOX".Replace("xx", ", ");

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xef' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

The problem is that you're trying to print an unicode character to a possibly non-unicode terminal. You need to encode it with the 'replace option before printing it, e.g. print ch.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, 'replace').

<> And Not In VB.NET

If you need to know if the variable exists use Is/IsNot Nothing.

Using <> requires that the variable you're evaluating have the "<>" operator defined. Check out

 Dim b As HttpContext
 If b <> Nothing Then
    ...
 End If

and the resultant error

Error   1   Operator '<>' is not defined for types 'System.Web.HttpContext' and 'System.Web.HttpContext'.   

Passing arguments forward to another javascript function

Spread operator

The spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple arguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are expected.

ECMAScript ES6 added a new operator that lets you do this in a more practical way: ...Spread Operator.

Example without using the apply method:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function a(...args){_x000D_
  b(...args);_x000D_
  b(6, ...args, 8) // You can even add more elements_x000D_
}_x000D_
function b(){_x000D_
  console.log(arguments)_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
a(1, 2, 3)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note This snippet returns a syntax error if your browser still uses ES5.

Editor's note: Since the snippet uses console.log(), you must open your browser's JS console to see the result - there will be no in-page result.

It will display this result:

Image of Spread operator arguments example

In short, the spread operator can be used for different purposes if you're using arrays, so it can also be used for function arguments, you can see a similar example explained in the official docs: Rest parameters

rebase in progress. Cannot commit. How to proceed or stop (abort)?

Mine was an error that popped up from BitBucket. Ran git am --skip fixed it.

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly

My cause was different I referenced a web service then I got this message.

Then I changed my target .Net Framework 4.0 to .Net Framework 2.0 and re-refer my webservice. After a few changes problem solved. There is no error worked fine.

hope this helps!

C++ static virtual members?

This question is over a decade old, but it looks like it gets a good amount of traffic, so I wanted to post an alternative using modern C++ features that I haven't seen anywhere else.

This solution uses CRTP and SFINAE to perform static dispatching. That, in itself, is nothing new, but all such implementations I've found lack strict signature checking for "overrides." This implementation requires that the "overriding" method signature exactly matches that of the "overridden" method. This behavior more closely resembles that of virtual functions, while also allowing us to effectively overload and "override" a static method.

Note that I put override in quotes because, strictly speaking, we're not technically overriding anything. Instead, we're calling a dispatch method X with signature Y that forwards all of its arguments to T::X, where T is to the first type among a list of types such that T::X exists with signature Y. This list of types considered for dispatching can be anything, but generally would include a default implementation class and the derived class.

Implementation

#include <experimental/type_traits>

template <template <class...> class Op, class... Types>
struct dispatcher;

template <template <class...> class Op, class T>
struct dispatcher<Op, T> : std::experimental::detected_t<Op, T> {};

template <template <class...> class Op, class T, class... Types>
struct dispatcher<Op, T, Types...>
  : std::experimental::detected_or_t<
    typename dispatcher<Op, Types...>::type, Op, T> {};


// Helper to convert a signature to a function pointer
template <class Signature> struct function_ptr;

template <class R, class... Args> struct function_ptr<R(Args...)> {
    using type = R (*)(Args...);
};


// Macro to simplify creation of the dispatcher
// NOTE: This macro isn't smart enough to handle creating an overloaded
//       dispatcher because both dispatchers will try to use the same
//       integral_constant type alias name. If you want to overload, do it
//       manually or make a smarter macro that can somehow put the signature in
//       the integral_constant type alias name.
#define virtual_static_method(name, signature, ...)                            \
    template <class VSM_T>                                                     \
    using vsm_##name##_type = std::integral_constant<                          \
        function_ptr<signature>::type, &VSM_T::name>;                          \
                                                                               \
    template <class... VSM_Args>                                               \
    static auto name(VSM_Args&&... args)                                       \
    {                                                                          \
        return dispatcher<vsm_##name##_type, __VA_ARGS__>::value(              \
            std::forward<VSM_Args>(args)...);                                  \
    }

Example Usage

#include <iostream>

template <class T>
struct Base {
    // Define the default implementations
    struct defaults {
        static std::string alpha() { return "Base::alpha"; };
        static std::string bravo(int) { return "Base::bravo"; }
    };

    // Create the dispatchers
    virtual_static_method(alpha, std::string(void), T, defaults);
    virtual_static_method(bravo, std::string(int), T, defaults);
    
    static void where_are_the_turtles() {
        std::cout << alpha() << std::endl;  // Derived::alpha
        std::cout << bravo(1) << std::endl; // Base::bravo
    }
};

struct Derived : Base<Derived> {
    // Overrides Base::alpha
    static std::string alpha(){ return "Derived::alpha"; }

    // Does not override Base::bravo because signatures differ (even though
    // int is implicitly convertible to bool)
    static std::string bravo(bool){ return "Derived::bravo"; }
};

int main() {
    Derived::where_are_the_turtles();
}

Installation (Assuming you are using Mac OSX):

  • $ brew install pandoc

  • $ brew install browser

Or on Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install pandoc browser

How can I bring my application window to the front?

While I agree with everyone, this is no-nice behavior, here is code:

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern Int32 SetForegroundWindow(int hWnd);   


SetForegroundWindow(Handle.ToInt32());

Update

David is completely right, for completeness I include the list of conditions that must apply for this to work (+1 for David!):

  • The process is the foreground process.
  • The process was started by the foreground process.
  • The process received the last input event.
  • There is no foreground process.
  • The foreground process is being debugged.
  • The foreground is not locked (see LockSetForegroundWindow).
  • The foreground lock time-out has expired (see SPI_GETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT in SystemParametersInfo).
  • No menus are active.

How to format LocalDate to string?

SimpleDateFormat will not work if he is starting with LocalDate which is new in Java 8. From what I can see, you will have to use DateTimeFormatter, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html.

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();//For reference
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd LLLL yyyy");
String formattedString = localDate.format(formatter);

That should print 05 May 1988. To get the period after the day and before the month, you might have to use "dd'.LLLL yyyy"

jQuery - passing value from one input to another

It's simpler if you modify your HTML a little bit:

<label for="first_name">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />

<label for="surname">Surname</label>
<input type="text" id="surname" name="surname" />

<label for="firstname">Firstname</label>
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname" disabled="disabled" />

then it's relatively simple

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#name').change(function() {
      $('#firstname').val($('#name').val());
    });
});

How to use delimiter for csv in python

ok, here is what i understood from your question. You are writing a csv file from python but when you are opening that file into some other application like excel or open office they are showing the complete row in one cell rather than each word in individual cell. I am right??

if i am then please try this,

import csv

with open(r"C:\\test.csv", "wb") as csv_file:
    writer = csv.writer(csv_file, delimiter =",",quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
    writer.writerow(["a","b"])

you have to set the delimiter = ","

PHP post_max_size overrides upload_max_filesize

post_max_size:

  • Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload
  • To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize
  • Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.
  • PHP Default: 8M

upload_max_filesize:

  • The maximum size of an uploaded file
  • PHP Default: 2M

memory_limit > post_max_size > upload_max_filesize

PHP Default: 128M > 8M > 2M

By default, post_max_size should be 4 times greater than upload_max_filesize.
In turn memory_limit should be 16 times greater than post_max_size

Android: Force EditText to remove focus?

                    return false;
                }
            }
        });

Why Choose Struct Over Class?

Since struct instances are allocated on stack, and class instances are allocated on heap, structs can sometimes be drastically faster.

However, you should always measure it yourself and decide based on your unique use case.

Consider the following example, which demonstrates 2 strategies of wrapping Int data type using struct and class. I am using 10 repeated values are to better reflect real world, where you have multiple fields.

class Int10Class {
    let value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10: Int
    init(_ val: Int) {
        self.value1 = val
        self.value2 = val
        self.value3 = val
        self.value4 = val
        self.value5 = val
        self.value6 = val
        self.value7 = val

UPDATE (27 Mar 2018):

As of Swift 4.0, Xcode 9.2, running Release build on iPhone 6S, iOS 11.2.6, Swift Compiler setting is -O -whole-module-optimization:

  • class version took 2.06 seconds
  • struct version took 4.17e-08 seconds (50,000,000 times faster)

(I no longer average multiple runs, as variances are very small, under 5%)

Note: the difference is a lot less dramatic without whole module optimization. I'd be glad if someone can point out what the flag actually does.


UPDATE (7 May 2016):

As of Swift 2.2.1, Xcode 7.3, running Release build on iPhone 6S, iOS 9.3.1, averaged over 5 runs, Swift Compiler setting is -O -whole-module-optimization:

  • class version took 2.159942142s
  • struct version took 5.83E-08s (37,000,000 times faster)

Note: as someone mentioned that in real-world scenarios, there will be likely more than 1 field in a struct, I have added tests for structs/classes with 10 fields instead of 1. Surprisingly, results don't vary much.


ORIGINAL RESULTS (1 June 2014):

(Ran on struct/class with 1 field, not 10)

As of Swift 1.2, Xcode 6.3.2, running Release build on iPhone 5S, iOS 8.3, averaged over 5 runs

  • class version took 9.788332333s
  • struct version took 0.010532942s (900 times faster)

OLD RESULTS (from unknown time)

(Ran on struct/class with 1 field, not 10)

With release build on my MacBook Pro:

  • The class version took 1.10082 sec
  • The struct version took 0.02324 sec (50 times faster)

Hibernate Delete query

The reason is that for deleting an object, Hibernate requires that the object is in persistent state. Thus, Hibernate first fetches the object (SELECT) and then removes it (DELETE).

Why Hibernate needs to fetch the object first? The reason is that Hibernate interceptors might be enabled (http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.3/reference/en/html/events.html), and the object must be passed through these interceptors to complete its lifecycle. If rows are delete directly in the database, the interceptor won't run.

On the other hand, it's possible to delete entities in one single SQL DELETE statement using bulk operations:

Query q = session.createQuery("delete Entity where id = X");
q.executeUpdate();

What is the best way to convert an array to a hash in Ruby

Not sure if it's the best way, but this works:

a = ["apple", 1, "banana", 2]
m1 = {}
for x in (a.length / 2).times
  m1[a[x*2]] = a[x*2 + 1]
end

b = [["apple", 1], ["banana", 2]]
m2 = {}
for x,y in b
  m2[x] = y
end

JAVA Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

The Java runtime you try to execute your program with is an earlier version than Java 7 which was the target you compile your program for.

For Ubuntu use

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

to get Java 7 as default. You may have to uninstall openjdk-6 first.

Append text to file from command line without using io redirection

You can use Vim in Ex mode:

  2. x save and close

How do you specify a different port number in SQL Management Studio?

127.0.0.1,6283

Add a comma between the ip and port

typeof !== "undefined" vs. != null

if (input == undefined) { ... }

works just fine. It is of course not a null comparison, but I usually find that if I need to distinguish between undefined and null, I actually rather need to distinguish between undefined and just any false value, so

else if (input) { ... }

does it.

If a program redefines undefined it is really braindead anyway.

The only reason I can think of was for IE4 compatibility, it did not understand the undefined keyword (which is not actually a keyword, unfortunately), but of course values could be undefined, so you had to have this:

var undefined;

and the comparison above would work just fine.

In your second example, you probably need double parentheses to make lint happy?

Unable to install pyodbc on Linux

I have referenced this question several times, and gone on to actually find the answer I was looking for here: pyodbc wiki

To avoid gcc error on Ubuntu Linux, I did:

sudo aptitude install g++

I also installed the following 2 packages from Synaptic:

  • python-dev

  • tdsodbc

Column/Vertical selection with Keyboard in SublimeText 3

I know notepad++ has a feature that lets you select blocks of text independent of line/column by holding control + alt + drag. So you can select just about any block of text you want.

Page redirect with successful Ajax request

You can just redirect in your success handler, like this:

window.location.href = "thankyou.php";

Or since you're displaying results, wait a few seconds, for example this would wait 2 seconds:

setTimeout(function() {
  window.location.href = "thankyou.php";
}, 2000);

Batch file to copy directories recursively

You may write a recursive algorithm in Batch that gives you exact control of what you do in every nested subdirectory:

@echo off
call :treeProcess
goto :eof

:treeProcess
rem Do whatever you want here over the files of this subdir, for example:
copy *.* C:\dest\dir
for /D %%d in (*) do (
    cd %%d
    call :treeProcess
    cd ..
)
exit /b

Windows Batch File Looping Through Directories to Process Files?

Set System.Drawing.Color values

The Color structure is immutable (as all structures should really be), meaning that the values of its properties cannot be changed once that particular instance has been created.

Instead, you need to create a new instance of the structure with the property values that you want. Since you want to create a color using its component RGB values, you need to use the FromArgb method:

Color myColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 150, 75);

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server

This is not mentioned in you post but I suspect you are initiating an SSL connection from the browser to Apache, where VirtualHosts are configured, and Apache does a revese proxy to your Tomcat.

There is a serious bug in (some versions ?) of IE that sends the 'wrong' host information in an SSL connection (see EDIT below) and confuses the Apache VirtualHosts. In short the server name presented is the one of the reverse DNS resolution of the IP, not the one in the URL.

The workaround is to have one IP address per SSL virtual hosts/server name. Is short, you must end up with something like

1 server name == 1 IP address == 1 certificate == 1 Apache Virtual Host

EDIT

Though the conclusion is correct, the identification of the problem is better described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

How do I change a single value in a data.frame?

In RStudio you can write directly in a cell. Suppose your data.frame is called myDataFrame and the row and column are called columnName and rowName. Then the code would look like:

myDataFrame["rowName", "columnName"] <- value

An enum is nearly an integer. To simplify a lot

Of course, it is not really true. I'm trying to explain that enum are some kind of coding...

Ignore duplicates when producing map using streams

Assuming you have people is List of object

  Map<String, String> phoneBook=people.stream()
                                        .collect(toMap(Person::getName, Person::getAddress));

Now you need two steps :

1)

people =removeDuplicate(people);

2)

Map<String, String> phoneBook=people.stream()
                                        .collect(toMap(Person::getName, Person::getAddress));

Here is method to remove duplicate

public static List removeDuplicate(Collection<Person>  list) {
        if(list ==null || list.isEmpty()){
            return null;
        }

        Object removedDuplicateList =
                list.stream()
                     .distinct()
                     .collect(Collectors.toList());
     return (List) removedDuplicateList;

      }

Adding full example here

        Person zerina = new Person(3, "Zerina", "Khan");

        // Add some random persons
        Collection<Person> duplicateList = Arrays.asList(vaquar, zidan, zerina, vaquar, zidan, vaquar);

        //
        System.out.println("Before removed duplicate list" + duplicateList);
        //
        Collection<Person> nonDuplicateList = removeDuplicate(duplicateList);
        //
        System.out.println("");
        System.out.println("After removed duplicate list" + nonDuplicateList);
        ;

        // 1) solution Working code
        Map<Object, Object> k = nonDuplicateList.stream().distinct()

        return (List) removedDuplicateList;

    }

}

How to use youtube-dl from a python program?

If youtube-dl is a terminal program, you can use the subprocess module to access the data you want.

Check out this link for more details: Calling an external command in Python

Javascript - removing undefined fields from an object

This solution also avoids hasOwnProperty() as Object.keys returns an array of a given object's own enumerable properties.

Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (key) {
 if(typeof obj[key] === 'undefined'){
    delete obj[key];
  }
});

and you can add this as null or '' for stricter cleaning.

java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out under Tomcat

I have the same issue. The java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out error happens on Tomcat under Mac 11.1, but it works perfectly in Mac 10.13. Same Tomcat folder, same WAR file. Have tried setting timeout values higher, but nothing I do works. If I run the same SpringBoot code in a regular Java application (outside Tomcat 9.0.41 (tried other versions too), then it works also.

Mac 11.1 appears to be interfering with Tomcat.

As another test, if I copy the WAR file to an AWS EC2 instance, it works fine there too.

Spent several days trying to figure this out, but cannot resolve.

Suggestions very welcome! :)

Clear data in MySQL table with PHP?

Actually I believe the MySQL optimizer carries out a TRUNCATE when you DELETE all rows.

ArrayList vs List<> in C#

Yes, pretty much. List<T> is a generic class. It supports storing values of a specific type without casting to or from object (which would have incurred boxing/unboxing overhead when T is a value type in the ArrayList case). ArrayList simply stores object references. As a generic collection, List<T> implements the generic IEnumerable<T> interface and can be used easily in LINQ (without requiring any Cast or OfType call).

ArrayList belongs to the days that C# didn't have generics. It's deprecated in favor of List<T>. You shouldn't use ArrayList in new code that targets .NET >= 2.0 unless you have to interface with an old API that uses it.

Ambiguous overload call to abs(double)

The header <math.h> is a C std lib header. It defines a lot of stuff in the global namespace. The header <cmath> is the C++ version of that header. It defines essentially the same stuff in namespace std. (There are some differences, like that the C++ version comes with overloads of some functions, but that doesn't matter.) The header <cmath.h> doesn't exist.

Since vendors don't want to maintain two versions of what is essentially the same header, they came up with different possibilities to have only one of them behind the scenes. Often, that's the C header (since a C++ compiler is able to parse that, while the opposite won't work), and the C++ header just includes that and pulls everything into namespace std. Or there's some macro magic for parsing the same header with or without namespace std wrapped around it or not. To this add that in some environments it's awkward if headers don't have a file extension (like editors failing to highlight the code etc.). So some vendors would have <cmath> be a one-liner including some other header with a .h extension. Or some would map all includes matching <cblah> to <blah.h> (which, through macro magic, becomes the C++ header when __cplusplus is defined, and otherwise becomes the C header) or <cblah.h> or whatever.

That's the reason why on some platforms including things like <cmath.h>, which ought not to exist, will initially succeed, although it might make the compiler fail spectacularly later on.

I have no idea which std lib implementation you use. I suppose it's the one that comes with GCC, but this I don't know, so I cannot explain exactly what happened in your case. But it's certainly a mix of one of the above vendor-specific hacks and you including a header you ought not to have included yourself. Maybe it's the one where <cmath> maps to <cmath.h> with a specific (set of) macro(s) which you hadn't defined, so that you ended up with both definitions.

Note, however, that this code still ought not to compile:

#include <cmath>

double f(double d)
{
  return abs(d);
}

There shouldn't be an abs() in the global namespace (it's std::abs()). However, as per the above described implementation tricks, there might well be. Porting such code later (or just trying to compile it with your vendor's next version which doesn't allow this) can be very tedious, so you should keep an eye on this.

AWS S3 CLI - Could not connect to the endpoint URL

Why does the JFrame setSize() method not set the size correctly?

Proper way to restrict text input values (e.g. only numbers)

Anoher one

<form [formGroup]="myForm" novalidate>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="data" name="data"
           formControlName="input3" #item (input)="change(item.value)">
</form>
{{myForm.value |json}}

change(value:string)
  {
    let lastchar = value.substr(value.length - 1);
    if (!(new RegExp('[0-9]').test(lastchar)))
    {
      value=value.substr(0,value.length-1);
      this.myForm.controls["input3"].setValue(value);

    }
  }

if you use from driven template

  <input type="text" class="form-control" id="data" name="data"
       [(ngModel)]="data" #item (input)="change(item)">
   {{data}}

change(item:any)
  {
    let value=item.value;
    let lastchar = value.substr(value.length - 1);
    if (!(new RegExp('[0-9]').test(lastchar)))
    {
      value=value.substr(0,value.length-1);
      item.value=this.data=value;
    }
  }

Update As @BikashBishwokarma comment, this not work if you insert a character in middle. We can change the function by some like

  change(item:any)
  {
    let value=item.value;
    let pos=item.selectionStart;
    if (!(new RegExp('^[0-9]+$').test(value)))
    {
      item.value=this.data=value.replace(/[^0-9]+/g, '');
      item.selectionStart = item.selectionEnd = pos-1;
    }
  }

Get bottom and right position of an element

You can use the .position() for this

var link = $(element);
var position = link.position(); //cache the position
var right = $(window).width() - position.left - link.width();
var bottom = $(window).height() - position.top - link.height();

Compiling a java program into an executable

You can convert .jar file to .exe on these ways:
alt text
(source: viralpatel.net)

1- JSmooth .exe wrapper:
JSmooth is a Java Executable Wrapper. It creates native Windows launchers (standard .exe) for your java applications. It makes java deployment much smoother and user-friendly, as it is able to find any installed Java VM by itself. When no VM is available, the wrapper can automatically download and install a suitable JVM, or simply display a message or redirect the user to a web site.

JSmooth provides a variety of wrappers for your java application, each of them having their own behaviour: Choose your flavour!

Download: http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/

2- JarToExe 1.8
Jar2Exe is a tool to convert jar files into exe files. Following are the main features as describe in their website:

  • Can generate “Console”, “Windows GUI”, “Windows Service” three types of exe files.
  • Generated exe files can add program icons and version information.
  • Generated exe files can encrypt and protect java programs, no temporary files will be generated when program runs.
  • Generated exe files provide system tray icon support.
  • Generated exe files provide record system event log support.
  • Generated windows service exe files are able to install/uninstall itself, and support service pause/continue.
  • New release of x64 version, can create 64 bits executives. (May 18, 2008)
  • Both wizard mode and command line mode supported. (May 18, 2008)

Download: http://www.brothersoft.com/jartoexe-75019.html

3- Executor
Package your Java application as a jar, and Executor will turn the jar into a Windows exe file, indistinguishable from a native application. Simply double-clicking the exe file will invoke the Java Runtime Environment and launch your application.

Download: http://mpowers.net/executor/

EDIT: The above link is broken, but here is the page (with working download) from the Internet Archive. http://web.archive.org/web/20090316092154/http://mpowers.net/executor/

4- Advanced Installer
Advanced Installer lets you create Windows MSI installs in minutes. This also has Windows Vista support and also helps to create MSI packages in other languages.
Download: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ Let me know other tools that you have used to convert JAR to EXE.

What's the best way to add a drop shadow to my UIView

On viewWillLayoutSubviews:

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    sampleView.layer.masksToBounds =  false
    sampleView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor().CGColor;
    sampleView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(2.0, 2.0)
    sampleView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0
}

Using Extension of UIView:

extension UIView {

    func addDropShadowToView(targetView:UIView? ){
        targetView!.layer.masksToBounds =  false
        targetView!.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor().CGColor;
        targetView!.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(2.0, 2.0)
        targetView!.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0
    }
}

Usage:

sampleView.addDropShadowToView(sampleView)

Output Django queryset as JSON

It didn't work, because QuerySets are not JSON serializable.

1) In case of json.dumps you have to explicitely convert your QuerySet to JSON serializable objects:

class Model(model.Model):
    def as_dict(self):
        return {
            "id": self.id,
            # other stuff
        }

And the serialization:

dictionaries = [ obj.as_dict() for obj in self.get_queryset() ]
return HttpResponse(json.dumps({"data": dictionaries}), content_type='application/json')

2) In case of serializers. Serializers accept either JSON serializable object or QuerySet, but a dictionary containing a QuerySet is neither. Try this:

serializers.serialize("json", self.get_queryset())

I'm creating an issue about detecting integer overflows also.

EDIT: See resolution here: https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/2247

Update as it helps others:

To have all columns as str, one can do this (from the comment):

pd.read_csv('sample.csv', dtype = str)

To have most or selective columns as str, one can do this:

# lst of column names which needs to be string
lst_str_cols = ['prefix', 'serial']
# use dictionary comprehension to make dict of dtypes
dict_dtypes = {x : 'str'  for x in lst_str_cols}
# use dict on dtypes
pd.read_csv('sample.csv', dtype=dict_dtypes)

How can I change the image of an ImageView?

Have a look at the ImageView API. There are several setImage* methods. Which one to use depends on the image you provide. If you have the image as resource (e.g. file res/drawable/my_image.png)

ImageView img = new ImageView(this);  // or (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.myImageView);
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.my_image);

Unordered List (<ul>) default indent

Most html tags have some default properties. A css reset will help you change the default properties.

What I usually do is:

{ padding: 0; margin: 0; font-face:Arial; }

Although the font is up to you!

Getting first and last day of the current month

var now = DateTime.Now;
var first = new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, 1);
var last = first.AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);

You could also use DateTime.DaysInMonth method:

var last = new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(now.Year, now.Month));

Difference between Pig and Hive? Why have both?

What HIVE can do which is not possible in PIG?

Partitioning can be done using HIVE but not in PIG, it is a way of bypassing the output.

What PIG can do which is not possible in HIVE?

Positional referencing - Even when you dont have field names, we can reference using the position like $0 - for first field, $1 for second and so on.

And another fundamental difference is, PIG doesn't need a schema to write the values but HIVE does need a schema.

You can connect from any external application to HIVE using JDBC and others but not with PIG.

Note: Both runs on top of HDFS (hadoop distributed file system) and the statements are converted to Map Reduce programs.

Add "Appendix" before "A" in thesis TOC

You can easily achieve what you want using the appendix package. Here's a sample file that shows you how. The key is the titletoc option when calling the package. It takes whatever value you've defined in \appendixname and the default value is Appendix.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Lorem ipsum}
\section{Dolor sit amet}
\begin{appendices}
  \chapter{Consectetur adipiscing elit}
  \chapter{Mauris euismod}
\end{appendices}
\end{document}

The output looks like

Xcode - iPhone - profile doesn't match any valid certificate-/private-key pair in the default keychain

When I tried to select the development provisioning profile in Code Signing Identity is would say "profile doesn't match any valid certificate". So when I followed the two step process below it worked:

1) Under "Code Signing Identity" for Development change to "Don't Code Sign".
2) Then Under "Code Signing Identity" for Development you will be able to select your provisioning profile for Development.

How to check if memcache or memcached is installed for PHP?

The best approach in this case is to use extension_loaded() or function_exists() they are equally as fast.

You can see evidence here:

https://github.com/dragoonis/ppi-framework/blob/master/Cache/Memcached.php#L140

Bear in mind that some PHP extensions such as APC have php.ini settings that can disable them even though the extension may be loaded. Here is an example of how to check against that also:

How do I remove duplicate items from an array in Perl?

 How can I remove duplicate elements from a list or array?
   (contributed by brian d foy)

   Use a hash. When you think the words "unique" or "duplicated", think
   "hash keys".

   If you don't care about the order of the elements, you could just
   create the hash then extract the keys. It's not important how you
   create that hash: just that you use "keys" to get the unique elements.

       my %hash   = map { $_, 1 } @array;
       # or a hash slice: @hash{ @array } = ();
       # or a foreach: $hash{$_} = 1 foreach ( @array );

       my @unique = keys %hash;

   If you want to use a module, try the "uniq" function from
   "List::MoreUtils". In list context it returns the unique elements,
   preserving their order in the list. In scalar context, it returns the
   number of unique elements.

       use List::MoreUtils qw(uniq);

       my @unique = uniq( 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 5, 7 ); # 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
       my $unique = uniq( 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 5, 7 ); # 7

   You can also go through each element and skip the ones you've seen
   before. Use a hash to keep track. The first time the loop sees an
   element, that element has no key in %Seen. The "next" statement creates
   the key and immediately uses its value, which is "undef", so the loop
   continues to the "push" and increments the value for that key. The next
   time the loop sees that same element, its key exists in the hash and
   the value for that key is true (since it's not 0 or "undef"), so the
   next skips that iteration and the loop goes to the next element.

       my @unique = ();
       my %seen   = ();

       foreach my $elem ( @array )
       {
         next if $seen{ $elem }++;
         push @unique, $elem;
       }

   You can write this more briefly using a grep, which does the same
   thing.

       my %seen = ();
       my @unique = grep { ! $seen{ $_ }++ } @array;

How can I get a Unicode character's code?

In Java, char is technically a "16-bit integer", so you can simply cast it to int and you'll get it's code. From Oracle:

The char data type is a single 16-bit Unicode character. It has a minimum value of '\u0000' (or 0) and a maximum value of '\uffff' (or 65,535 inclusive).

So you can simply cast it to int.

char registered = '®';
System.out.println(String.format("This is an int-code: %d", (int) registered));
System.out.println(String.format("And this is an hexa code: %x", (int) registered));

Maintain/Save/Restore scroll position when returning to a ListView

CAUTION!! There is a bug in AbsListView that doesn't allow the onSaveState() to work correctly if the ListView.getFirstVisiblePosition() is 0.

So If you have large images that take up most of the screen, and you scroll to the second image, but a little of the first is showing, the scroll position Won't be saved...

from AbsListView.java:1650 (comments mine)

// this will be false when the firstPosition IS 0
if (haveChildren && mFirstPosition > 0) {
    ...
} else {
    ss.viewTop = 0;
    ss.firstId = INVALID_POSITION;
    ss.position = 0;
}

But in this situation, the 'top' in the code below will be a negative number which causes other issues that prevent the state to be restored correctly. So when the 'top' is negative, get the next child

// save index and top position
int index = getFirstVisiblePosition();
View v = getChildAt(0);
int top = (v == null) ? 0 : v.getTop();

if (top < 0 && getChildAt(1) != null) {
    index++;
    v = getChildAt(1);
    top = v.getTop();
}
// parcel the index and top

// when restoring, unparcel index and top
listView.setSelectionFromTop(index, top);

How do I disable right click on my web page?

DON'T

Just, don't.

No matter what you do, you can't prevent users from having full access to every bit of data on your website. Any Javascript you code can be rendered moot by simply turning off Javascript on the browser (or using a plugin like NoScript). Additionally, there's no way to disable the ability of any user to simply "view source" or "view page info" (or use wget) for your site.

It's not worth the effort. It won't actually work. It will make your site actively hostile to users. They will notice this and stop visiting. There is no benefit to doing this, only wasted effort and lost traffic.

Don't.

Update: It seems this little topic has proven quite controversial over time. Even so, I stand by this answer to this question. Sometimes the correct answer is advice instead of a literal response.

People who stumble on this question in hopes of finding out how to create custom context menus should look elsewhere, such as these questions:

With CSS, how do I make an image span the full width of the page as a background image?

You set the CSS to :

#elementID {
    background: black url(http://www.electrictoolbox.com/images/rangitoto-3072x200.jpg) center no-repeat;
    height: 200px;
}

It centers the image, but does not scale it.

FIDDLE

In newer browsers you can use the background-size property and do:

#elementID {
    height: 200px; 
    width: 100%;
    background: black url(http://www.electrictoolbox.com/images/rangitoto-3072x200.jpg) no-repeat;
    background-size: 100% 100%;
}

FIDDLE

Other than that, a regular image is one way to do it, but then it's not really a background image.

Display milliseconds in Excel

First represent the epoch of the millisecond time as a date (usually 1/1/1970), then add your millisecond time divided by the number of milliseconds in a day (86400000):

=DATE(1970,1,1)+(A1/86400000)

If your cell is properly formatted, you should see a human-readable date/time.

How to automatically reload a page after a given period of inactivity

Based on the accepted answer of arturnt. This is a slightly optimized version, but does essentially the same thing:

var time = new Date().getTime();
$(document.body).bind("mousemove keypress", function () {
    time = new Date().getTime();
});

setInterval(function() {
    if (new Date().getTime() - time >= 60000) {
        window.location.reload(true);
    }
}, 1000);

Only difference is that this version uses setInterval instead of setTimeout, which makes the code more compact.

What is the difference between utf8mb4 and utf8 charsets in MySQL?

Taken from the MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual:

  • utf8mb4: A UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode character set using one to four bytes per character.

  • utf8mb3: A UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode character set using one to three bytes per character.

In MySQL utf8 is currently an alias for utf8mb3 which is deprecated and will be removed in a future MySQL release. At that point utf8 will become a reference to utf8mb4.

So regardless of this alias, you can consciously set yourself an utf8mb4 encoding.

To complete the answer, I'd like to add the @WilliamEntriken's comment below (also taken from the manual):

To avoid ambiguity about the meaning of utf8, consider specifying utf8mb4 explicitly for character set references instead of utf8.

findAll() in yii

This is your safest way to do it:

$id =101;
//$user_id=25;
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->condition="email_id < :email_id";
//$criteria->addCondition("user_id=:user_id");
$criteria->params=array(
  ':email_id' => $id,
  //':user_id' => $user_id,
);
$comments=EmailArchive::model()->findAll($criteria);

Note that if you comment out the commented lines you get a way to add more filtering to your search.

After this it is recommend to check if there is any data returned like:

if (isset($comments)) { // We found some comments, we can sleep well tonight
  // do comments process or whatever
}

How to regex in a MySQL query

In my case (Oracle), it's WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(column, 'regex.*'). See here:

SQL Function

Description


REGEXP_LIKE

This function searches a character column for a pattern. Use this function in the WHERE clause of a query to return rows matching the regular expression you specify.

...

REGEXP_REPLACE

This function searches for a pattern in a character column and replaces each occurrence of that pattern with the pattern you specify.

...

REGEXP_INSTR

This function searches a string for a given occurrence of a regular expression pattern. You specify which occurrence you want to find and the start position to search from. This function returns an integer indicating the position in the string where the match is found.

...

REGEXP_SUBSTR

This function returns the actual substring matching the regular expression pattern you specify.

(Of course, REGEXP_LIKE only matches queries containing the search string, so if you want a complete match, you'll have to use '^$' for a beginning (^) and end ($) match, e.g.: '^regex.*$'.)

MongoDB query multiple collections at once

As mentioned before in MongoDB you can't JOIN between collections.

For your example a solution could be:

var myCursor = db.users.find({admin:1});
var user_id = myCursor.hasNext() ? myCursor.next() : null;
db.posts.find({owner_id : user_id._id});

See the reference manual - cursors section: http://es.docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/cursors/

Other solution would be to embed users in posts collection, but I think for most web applications users collection need to be independent for security reasons. Users collection might have Roles, permissons, etc.

posts
{
 "content":"Some content",
 "user":{"_id":"12345", "admin":1},
 "via":"facebook"
},
{
 "content":"Some other content",
 "user":{"_id":"123456789", "admin":0},
 "via":"facebook"
}

and then:

db.posts.find({user.admin: 1 });

append new row to old csv file python

Are you opening the file with mode of 'a' instead of 'w'?

See Reading and Writing Files in the python docs

7.2. Reading and Writing Files

open() returns a file object, and is most commonly used with two arguments: open(filename, mode).

>>> f = open('workfile', 'w')
>>> print f <open file 'workfile', mode 'w' at 80a0960>

The first argument is a string containing the filename. The second argument is another string containing a few characters describing the way in which the file will be used. mode can be 'r' when the file will only be read, 'w' for only writing (an existing file with the same name will be erased), and 'a' opens the file for appending; any data written to the file is automatically added to the end. 'r+' opens the file for both reading and writing. The mode argument is optional; 'r' will be assumed if it’s omitted.

On Windows, 'b' appended to the mode opens the file in binary mode, so there are also modes like 'rb', 'wb', and 'r+b'. Python on Windows makes a distinction between text and binary files; the end-of-line characters in text files are automatically altered slightly when data is read or written. This behind-the-scenes modification to file data is fine for ASCII text files, but it’ll corrupt binary data like that in JPEG or EXE files. Be very careful to use binary mode when reading and writing such files. On Unix, it doesn’t hurt to append a 'b' to the mode, so you can use it platform-independently for all binary files.

JavaScript get child element

ULs don't have a name attribute, but you can reference the ul by tag name.

Try replacing line 3 in your script with this:

var sub = cat.getElementsByTagName("UL");

Get the cell value of a GridView row

I had the same problem as yours. I found that when i use the BoundField tag in GridView to show my data. The row.Cells[1].Text is working in:

GridViewRow row = dgCustomer.SelectedRow;
TextBox1.Text = "Cell Value" + row.Cells[1].Text + "";

But when i use TemplateField tag to show data like this:

 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="??">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Label ID="Part_No" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Part_No")%>' ></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <HeaderStyle CssClass="bhead" />
    <ItemStyle CssClass="bbody" />
    </asp:TemplateField>

The row.Cells[1].Text just return null. I got stuck in this problem for a long time. I figur out recently and i want to share with someone who have the same problem my solution. Please feel free to edit this post and/or correct me.

My Solution:

Label lbCod = GridView1.Rows["AnyValidIndex"].Cells["AnyValidIndex"].Controls["AnyValidIndex"] as Label;

I use Controls attribute to find the Label control which i use to show data, and you can find yours. When you find it and convert to the correct type object than you can extract text and so on. Ex:

string showText = lbCod.Text;

How can I wrap text in a label using WPF?

To wrap text in the label control, change the the template of label as follows:

    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>

                </Border>
                    
            </ControlTemplate>

How do I install Python libraries in wheel format?

You don't need to download exclusively from the website. Just make sure you have pip (which you probably will if you have python installed). Just open your Command Prompt (CMD) and run the command:

pip install pygame

It will automatically download the correct whl version of pygame compatible with your configuration of PC. Make sure you remember the version which appears while "downloading" as this is the compatible version of .whl packages you shall be looking for in the future.

How to remove item from array by value?

A one-liner will do it,

var ary = ['three', 'seven', 'eleven'];

// Remove item 'seven' from array
var filteredAry = ary.filter(function(e) { return e !== 'seven' })
//=> ["three", "eleven"]

// In ECMA6 (arrow function syntax):
var filteredAry = ary.filter(e => e !== 'seven')

This makes use of the filter function in JS. It's supported in IE9 and up.

What it does (from the doc link)

filter() calls a provided callback function once for each element in an array, and constructs a new array of all the values for which callback returns a value that coerces to true. callback is invoked only for indexes of the array which have assigned values; it is not invoked for indexes which have been deleted or which have never been assigned values. Array elements which do not pass the callback test are simply skipped, and are not included in the new array.

So basically, this is the same as all the other for (var key in ary) { ... } solutions, except that the for in construct is supported as of IE6.

Basically, filter is a convenience method that looks a lot nicer (and is chainable) as opposed to the for in construct (AFAIK).

How to get $(this) selected option in jQuery?

This should work:

$(this).find('option:selected').text();

Grab a segment of an array in Java without creating a new array on heap

If you're seeking a pointer style aliasing approach, so that you don't even need to allocate space and copy the data then I believe you're out of luck.

System.arraycopy() will copy from your source to destination, and efficiency is claimed for this utility. You do need to allocate the destination array.

Regular Expression For Duplicate Words

This expression (inspired from Mike, above) seems to catch all duplicates, triplicates, etc, including the ones at the end of the string, which most of the others don't:

/(^|\s+)(\S+)(($|\s+)\2)+/g, "$1$2")

I know the question asked to match duplicates only, but a triplicate is just 2 duplicates next to each other :)

First, I put (^|\s+) to make sure it starts with a full word, otherwise "child's steak" would go to "child'steak" (the "s"'s would match). Then, it matches all full words ((\b\S+\b)), followed by an end of string ($) or a number of spaces (\s+), the whole repeated more than once.

I tried it like this and it worked well:

var s = "here here here     here is ahi-ahi ahi-ahi ahi-ahi joe's joe's joe's joe's joe's the result result     result";
print( s.replace( /(\b\S+\b)(($|\s+)\1)+/g, "$1"))         
--> here is ahi-ahi joe's the result

anchor jumping by using javascript

I think it is much more simple solution:

window.location = (""+window.location).replace(/#[A-Za-z0-9_]*$/,'')+"#myAnchor"

This method does not reload the website, and sets the focus on the anchors which are needed for screen reader.

Android device chooser - My device seems offline

I have a Windows 7 desktop with a Google Nexus 7 connected to that. I also had the 'offline' problem. Mine is resolved by revoking any previous authorization on Nexus. So now I get the prompt to authorize on Nexus--I am not saving the authorization for now at least--and I allow the authorization--and voila!--Android SDK correctly shows the device as 'asus-nexus_7-xxxx'.

How to insert data to MySQL having auto incremented primary key?

Set the auto increment field to NULL or 0 if you want it to be auto magically assigned...

Set drawable size programmatically

Probably a little late. But here is the solution that finally worked for me in every situation.

The idea is to create a custom drawable with fixed intrinic size and pass the drawing job on to the original drawable.

Drawable icon = new ColorDrawable(){
        Drawable iconOrig = resolveInfo.loadIcon(packageManager);

        @Override
        public void setBounds(int left, int top, int right, int bottom){
            super.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);//This is needed so that getBounds on this class would work correctly.
            iconOrig.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
        }

        @Override
        public void draw(Canvas canvas){
            iconOrig.draw(canvas);
        }

        @Override
        public int getIntrinsicWidth(){
            return  mPlatform.dp2px(30);
        }

        @Override
        public int getIntrinsicHeight(){
            return  mPlatform.dp2px(30);
        }
    };

What command means "do nothing" in a conditional in Bash?

You can probably just use the true command:

if [ "$a" -ge 10 ]; then
    true
elif [ "$a" -le 5 ]; then
    echo "1"
else
    echo "2"
fi

An alternative, in your example case (but not necessarily everywhere) is to re-order your if/else:

if [ "$a" -le 5 ]; then
    echo "1"
elif [ "$a" -lt 10 ]; then
    echo "2"
fi

How do I print the percent sign(%) in c

Your problem is that you have to change:

printf("%"); 

to

printf("%%");

Or you could use ASCII code and write:

TreeMap sort by value

This can't be done by using a Comparator, as it will always get the key of the map to compare. TreeMap can only sort by the key.

PHP ternary operator vs null coalescing operator

When using the superglobals like $_GET or $_REQUEST you should be aware that they could be an empty string. In this specal case this example

$username = $_GET['user'] ?? 'nobody';

will fail because the value of $username now is an empty string.

So when using $_GET or even $_REQUEST you should use the ternary operator instead like this:

$username = (!empty($_GET['user'])?$_GET['user']:'nobody';

Now the value of $username is 'nobody' as expected.

Responsive design with media query : screen size?

Responsive Web design (RWD) is a Web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience

When you design your responsive website you should consider the size of the screen and not the device type. The media queries helps you do that.

If you want to style your site per device, you can use the user agent value, but this is not recommended since you'll have to work hard to maintain your code for new devices, new browsers, browsers versions etc while when using the screen size, all of this does not matter.

You can see some standard resolutions in this link.

BUT, in my opinion, you should first design your website layout, and only then adjust it with media queries to fit possible screen sizes.

Why? As I said before, the screen resolutions variety is big and if you'll design a mobile version that is targeted to 320px your site won't be optimized to 350px screens or 400px screens.

TIPS

  1. When designing a responsive page, open it in your desktop browser and change the width of the browser to see how the width of the screen affects your layout and style.
  2. Use percentage instead of pixels, it will make your work easier.

Example

I have a table with 5 columns. The data looks good when the screen size is bigger than 600px so I add a breakpoint at 600px and hides 1 less important column when the screen size is smaller. Devices with big screens such as desktops and tablets will display all the data, while mobile phones with small screens will display part of the data.


State of mind

Not directly related to the question but important aspect in responsive design. Responsive design also relate to the fact that the user have a different state of mind when using a mobile phone or a desktop. For example, when you open your bank's site in the evening and check your stocks you want as much data on the screen. When you open the same page in the your lunch break your probably want to see few important details and not all the graphs of last year.

How to add font-awesome to Angular 2 + CLI project

Starting from https://github.com/AngularClass/angular-starter, after having tested a lot of different configuration combination, here is what I did to get it working with AoT.

As already said many times, in my app.component.scss:

$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts" !default;
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";

Then in webpack.config.js (actually webpack.commong.js in the starter pack) :

In the plugins section:

new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'src/assets', to: 'assets' },
    { from: 'src/meta'},
    { from: 'node_modules/font-awesome/fonts', to: 'assets/fonts/' }
]),

In the rules section:

,
{
    test: /\.(eot|woff2?|svg|ttf)([\?]?.*)$/,
    use: 'file-loader?name=/assets/fonts/[name].[ext]'
}

How to check internet access on Android? InetAddress never times out

If the device is in airplane mode (or presumably in other situations where there's no available network), cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() will be null, so you need to add a null check.

Modified (Eddie's solution) below:

public boolean isOnline() {
    ConnectivityManager cm =
        (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting();
}

Also add the following permission to the AndroidManifest.xml:

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

One other small point, if you absolutely need a network connection at the given point in time, then it might be better to use netInfo.isConnected() rather than netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting. I guess this is up to the individual use-case however.

How can I increment a date by one day in Java?

Try this method:

public static Date addDay(int day) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(new Date());
        calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, day);
        return calendar.getTime();
}

How I can filter a Datatable?

It is better to use DataView for this task.

Example of the using it you can find in this post: How to filter data in dataview

Add custom icons to font awesome

Similar approach to @Samuel-bergström:

  • Download Fontawesome SVG https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/src/assets/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg
  • Download FontForge http://fontforge.github.io/en-US/downloads/
  • Download Inkscape
  • Open Inskscape and create a single layer shape as your new font icon
  • Save SVG file, Close Inkscape
  • Open FontForge (If you have multiple monitors, use Windows-LeftArrow, to reposition as they have strange SWING java windows that go off monitor, and have modal problems with popups - I had to check my task bar for some)
  • File | Open fontawesome-webfont.svg
  • File | Import
  • Scroll to the bottom, Right Click on Icon | Glyph Info
  • Update Glyph Name to uniFXXX (XXX is something like 501, a higher number than the highest Unicode used in v4.5 of FontAwesome)
  • Unicode Vlaue U+fXXX
  • Click OK
  • File | Save
  • File | Generate Fonts ...
  • Close FontForge
  • Open your web project
  • Copy your font files to the (in my project) "\Content\fonts\" folder.
  • Edit "\Content\styles\fa\path.less" to be like:

_x000D_
_x000D_
@font-face {_x000D_
      font-family: 'FontAwesome';_x000D_
      //src: url('@{fa-font-path}/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=@{fa-version}');_x000D_
      src: _x000D_
     //url('@{fa-font-path}/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=@{fa-version}') format('embedded-opentype'),_x000D_
        //url('@{fa-font-path}/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=@{fa-version}') format('woff2'),_x000D_
        url('@{fa-font-path}/fontawesomeregular.woff?v=@{fa-version}') format('woff'),_x000D_
        url('@{fa-font-path}/fontawesomeregular.ttf?v=@{fa-version}') format('truetype'),_x000D_
        url('@{fa-font-path}/fontawesomeregular.svg?v=@{fa-version}#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');_x000D_
    //  src: url('@{fa-font-path}/FontAwesome.otf') format('opentype'); // used when developing fonts_x000D_
      font-weight: normal;_x000D_
      font-style: normal;_x000D_
    }
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

I know it may be 'controversial' to comment out other file types, but happy to hear how to generate .eot or .otf files in the comments.

  • and finally, as Samuel mentions, update your CSS/LESS with:

    .fa-XXX:before { content: "\f501"; }

Setting width and height

Use this, it works fine.

<canvas id="totalschart" style="height:400px;width: content-box;"></canvas>

and under options,

responsive:true,

How would I create a UIAlertView in Swift?

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10

Method 1 :

SIMPLE ALERT

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Your title", message: "Your message", preferredStyle: .alert)
    
     let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
     })
     alert.addAction(ok)
     let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { action in
     })
     alert.addAction(cancel)
     DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
        self.present(alert, animated: true)
})

Method 2 :

ALERT WITH SHARED CLASS

If you want Shared class style(Write once use every where)

import UIKit
class SharedClass: NSObject {//This is shared class
static let sharedInstance = SharedClass()

    //Show alert
    func alert(view: UIViewController, title: String, message: String) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let defaultAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        alert.addAction(defaultAction)
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            view.present(alert, animated: true)
        })
    }

    private override init() {
    }
}

Now call alert like this in every ware

SharedClass.sharedInstance.alert(view: self, title: "Your title here", message: "Your message here")

Method 3 :

PRESENT ALERT TOP OF ALL WINDOWS

If you want to present alert on top of all views, use this code

func alertWindow(title: String, message: String) {
    DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
        let alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
        alertWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()
        alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1
    
        let alert2 = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let defaultAction2 = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        alert2.addAction(defaultAction2)
    
        alertWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
    
        alertWindow.rootViewController?.present(alert2, animated: true, completion: nil)
    })
}

Function calling

SharedClass.sharedInstance.alertWindow(title:"This your title", message:"This is your message")

Method 4 :

Alert with Extension

extension  UIViewController {

    func showAlert(withTitle title: String, withMessage message:String) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        alert.addAction(ok)
        alert.addAction(cancel)
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            self.present(alert, animated: true)
        })
    }
}

Now call like this

//Call showAlert function in your class
@IBAction func onClickAlert(_ sender: UIButton) {
    showAlert(withTitle:"Your Title Here", withMessage: "YourCustomMessageHere")
}

Method 5 :

ALERT WITH TEXTFIELDS

If you want to add textfields to alert.

//Global variables
var name:String?
var login:String?

//Call this function like this:  alertWithTF() 
//Add textfields to alert 
func alertWithTF() {
    
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Login", message: "Enter username&password", preferredStyle: .alert)
    // Login button
    let loginAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Login", style: .default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
        // Get TextFields text
        let usernameTxt = alert.textFields![0]
        let passwordTxt = alert.textFields![1]
        //Asign textfileds text to our global varibles
        self.name = usernameTxt.text
        self.login = passwordTxt.text
        
        print("USERNAME: \(self.name!)\nPASSWORD: \(self.login!)")
    })
    
    // Cancel button
    let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .destructive, handler: { (action) -> Void in })
    
    //1 textField for username
    alert.addTextField { (textField: UITextField) in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter username"
        //If required mention keyboard type, delegates, text sixe and font etc...
        //EX:
        textField.keyboardType = .default
    }
    
    //2nd textField for password
    alert.addTextField { (textField: UITextField) in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter password"
        textField.isSecureTextEntry = true
    }
    
    // Add actions
    alert.addAction(loginAction)
    alert.addAction(cancel)
    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    
}

Method 6:

Alert in SharedClass with Extension

//This is your shared class
import UIKit

 class SharedClass: NSObject {

 static let sharedInstance = SharedClass()

 //Here write your code....

 private override init() {
 }
}

//Alert function in shared class
extension UIViewController {
    func showAlert(title: String, msg: String) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: msg, preferredStyle: .alert)
            alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
            self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
    }
}

Now call directly like this

self.showAlert(title: "Your title here...", msg: "Your message here...")

Method 7:

Alert with out shared class with Extension in separate class for alert.

Create one new Swift class, and import UIKit. Copy and paste below code.

//This is your Swift new class file
import UIKit
import Foundation

extension UIAlertController {
    class func alert(title:String, msg:String, target: UIViewController) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: msg, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default) {
        (result: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
        })
        target.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Now call alert function like this in all your classes (Single line).

UIAlertController.alert(title:"Title", msg:"Message", target: self)

How is it....

Permanently Set Postgresql Schema Path

(And if you have no admin access to the server)

ALTER ROLE <your_login_role> SET search_path TO a,b,c;

Two important things to know about:

  1. When a schema name is not simple, it needs to be wrapped in double quotes.
  2. The order in which you set default schemas a, b, c matters, as it is also the order in which the schemas will be looked up for tables. So if you have the same table name in more than one schema among the defaults, there will be no ambiguity, the server will always use the table from the first schema you specified for your search_path.

how to get the first and last days of a given month

## Get Current Month's First Date And Last Date

echo "Today Date: ". $query_date = date('d-m-Y');
echo "<br> First day of the month: ". date('01-m-Y', strtotime($query_date));
echo "<br> Last day of the month: ". date('t-m-Y', strtotime($query_date));

Matching a space in regex

It seems to me like using a REGEX in this case would just be overkill. Why not just just strpos to find the space character. Also, there's nothing special about the space character in regular expressions, you should be able to search for it the same as you would search for any other character. That is, unless you disabled pattern whitespace, which would hardly be necessary in this case.

How to replace deprecated android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle

you must use import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;

and use the constructor

public CustomActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity mActivity,DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout)
{
    super(mActivity, mDrawerLayout, R.string.ns_menu_open, R.string.ns_menu_close);
}

and if the drawer toggle button becomes dark then you must use the supportActionBar provided in the support library.

You can implement supportActionbar from this link: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/actionbar/setting-up.html

How can I programmatically freeze the top row of an Excel worksheet in Excel 2007 VBA?

The problem with the recorded macro is the same as the problem with the built-in action: Excel chooses to freeze the top visible row, rather than the actual top row where the header information can be found.

The purpose of a macro in this case is to freeze the actual top row. When I am viewing row #405592 and I need to check the header for the column (because I forgot to freeze rows when I opened the file), I have to scroll to the top, freeze the top row, then find my way back to row #405592 again. Since I believe this is stupid behavior, I want a macro to correct it, but, like I said, the recorded macro just mimics the same stupid behavior.

What is the difference between Trap and Interrupt?

An interrupt is a hardware-generated change-of-flow within the system. An interrupt handler is summoned to deal with the cause of the interrupt; control is then returned to the interrupted context and instruction. A trap is a software-generated interrupt. An interrupt can be used to signal the completion of an I/O to obviate the need for device polling. A trap can be used to call operating system routines or to catch arithmetic errors.

How does cellForRowAtIndexPath work?

1) The function returns a cell for a table view yes? So, the returned object is of type UITableViewCell. These are the objects that you see in the table's rows. This function basically returns a cell, for a table view. But you might ask, how the function would know what cell to return for what row, which is answered in the 2nd question

2)NSIndexPath is essentially two things-

  • Your Section
  • Your row

Because your table might be divided to many sections and each with its own rows, this NSIndexPath will help you identify precisely which section and which row. They are both integers. If you're a beginner, I would say try with just one section.

It is called if you implement the UITableViewDataSource protocol in your view controller. A simpler way would be to add a UITableViewController class. I strongly recommend this because it Apple has some code written for you to easily implement the functions that can describe a table. Anyway, if you choose to implement this protocol yourself, you need to create a UITableViewCell object and return it for whatever row. Have a look at its class reference to understand re-usablity because the cells that are displayed in the table view are reused again and again(this is a very efficient design btw).

As for when you have two table views, look at the method. The table view is passed to it, so you should not have a problem with respect to that.

What causes imported Maven project in Eclipse to use Java 1.5 instead of Java 1.6 by default and how can I ensure it doesn't?

Here is the root cause of java 1.5:

Also note that at present the default source setting is 1.5 and the default target setting is 1.5, independently of the JDK you run Maven with. If you want to change these defaults, you should set source and target.

Download File Using Javascript/jQuery

Maybe just have your javascript open a page that just downloads a file, like when you drag a download link to a new tab:

Window.open("https://www.MyServer.
Org/downloads/ardiuno/WgiWho=?:8080")

With the opened window open a download page that auto closes.

What is causing ImportError: No module named pkg_resources after upgrade of Python on os X?

I encountered the same ImportError. Somehow the setuptools package had been deleted in my Python environment.

To fix the issue, run the setup script for setuptools:

curl https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py | python

If you have any version of distribute, or any setuptools below 0.6, you will have to uninstall it first.*

See Installation Instructions for further details.


* If you already have a working distribute, upgrading it to the "compatibility wrapper" that switches you over to setuptools is easier. But if things are already broken, don't try that.

Does a VPN Hide my Location on Android?

Your question can be conveniently divided into several parts:

Does a VPN hide location? Yes, he is capable of this. This is not about GPS determining your location. If you try to change the region via VPN in an application that requires GPS access, nothing will work. However, sites define your region differently. They get an IP address and see what country or region it belongs to. If you can change your IP address, you can change your region. This is exactly what VPNs can do.

How to hide location on Android? There is nothing difficult in figuring out how to set up a VPN on Android, but a couple of nuances still need to be highlighted. Let's start with the fact that not all Android VPNs are created equal. For example, VeePN outperforms many other services in terms of efficiency in circumventing restrictions. It has 2500+ VPN servers and a powerful IP and DNS leak protection system.

You can easily change the location of your Android device by using a VPN. Follow these steps for any device model (Samsung, Sony, Huawei, etc.):

  1. Download and install a trusted VPN.

  2. Install the VPN on your Android device.

  3. Open the application and connect to a server in a different country.

  4. Your Android location will now be successfully changed!

Is it legal? Yes, changing your location on Android is legal. Likewise, you can change VPN settings in Microsoft Edge on your PC, and all this is within the law. VPN allows you to change your IP address, safeguarding your privacy and protecting your actual location from being exposed. However, VPN laws may vary from country to country. There are restrictions in some regions.

Brief summary: Yes, you can change your region on Android and a VPN is a necessary assistant for this. It's simple, safe and legal. Today, VPN is the best way to change the region and unblock sites with regional restrictions.

Java 8: Lambda-Streams, Filter by Method with Exception

To properly add IOException (to RuntimeException) handling code, your method will look like this:

Stream<Account> s =  accounts.values().stream();

s = s.filter(a -> { try { return a.isActive(); } 
  catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); }});

Stream<String> ss = s.map(a -> { try { return a.getNumber() }
  catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); }});

return ss.collect(Collectors.toSet());

The problem now is that the IOException will have to be captured as a RuntimeException and converted back to an IOException -- and that will add even more code to the above method.

Why use Stream when it can be done just like this -- and the method throws IOException so no extra code is needed for that too:

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
for(Account a: accounts.values()){
  if(a.isActive()){
     set.add(a.getNumber());
  } 
}
return set;

HTML - Display image after selecting filename

You can achieve this with the following code:

$("input").change(function(e) {

    for (var i = 0; i < e.originalEvent.srcElement.files.length; i++) {

        var file = e.originalEvent.srcElement.files[i];

        var img = document.createElement("img");
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onloadend = function() {
             img.src = reader.result;
        }
        reader.readAsDataURL(file);
        $("input").after(img);
    }
});

Cannot read property 'getContext' of null, using canvas

You should put javascript tag in your html file. because browser load your webpage according to html flow, you should put your javascript file<script src="javascript/game.js"> after the <canvas>element tag. otherwise,if you put your javascript in the header of html.Browser load script first but it doesn't find the canvas. So your canvas doesn't work.

Given two directory trees, how can I find out which files differ by content?

Meld is also a great tool for comparing two directories:

meld dir1/ dir2/

Meld has many options for comparing files or directories. If two files differ, it's easy to enter file comparison mode and see the exact differences.

How to see JavaDoc in IntelliJ IDEA?

Go to Settings -> Editor -> General then enable Show quick documentation on mouse move

Set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS options using CMake

You need to set the flags after the project command in your CMakeLists.txt.

Also, if you're calling include(${QT_USE_FILE}) or add_definitions(${QT_DEFINITIONS}), you should include these set commands after the Qt ones since these would append further flags. If that is the case, you maybe just want to append your flags to the Qt ones, so change to e.g.

set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -O0 -ggdb")

How to get distinct values from an array of objects in JavaScript?

The forEach version of @travis-j's answer (helpful on modern browsers and Node JS world):

var unique = {};
var distinct = [];
array.forEach(function (x) {
  if (!unique[x.age]) {
    distinct.push(x.age);
    unique[x.age] = true;
  }
});

34% faster on Chrome v29.0.1547: http://jsperf.com/filter-versus-dictionary/3

And a generic solution that takes a mapper function (tad slower than direct map, but that's expected):

function uniqueBy(arr, fn) {
  var unique = {};
  var distinct = [];
  arr.forEach(function (x) {
    var key = fn(x);
    if (!unique[key]) {
      distinct.push(key);
      unique[key] = true;
    }
  });
  return distinct;
}

// usage
uniqueBy(array, function(x){return x.age;}); // outputs [17, 35]

How to add files/folders to .gitignore in IntelliJ IDEA?

Intellij had .ignore plugin to support this. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7495?pr=idea

After you install the plugin, you right click on the project and select new -> .ignore file -> .gitignore file (Git) enter image description here

Then, select the type of project you have to generate a template and click Generate. enter image description here

How to define Singleton in TypeScript

After scouring this thread and playing around with all the options above - I settled with a Singleton that can be created with proper constructors:

export default class Singleton {
  private static _instance: Singleton

  public static get instance(): Singleton {
    return Singleton._instance
  }

  constructor(...args: string[]) {
    // Initial setup

    Singleton._instance = this
  }

  work() { /* example */ }

}

It would require an initial setup (in main.ts, or index.ts), which can easily be implemented by
new Singleton(/* PARAMS */)

Then, anywhere in your code, just call Singleton.instnace; in this case, to get work done, I would call Singleton.instance.work()

Why does this SQL code give error 1066 (Not unique table/alias: 'user')?

You have mentioned "user" twice in your FROM clause. You must provide a table alias to at least one mention so each mention of user. can be pinned to one or the other instance:

FROM article INNER JOIN section
ON article.section_id = section.id
INNER JOIN category ON article.category_id = category.id
INNER JOIN user **AS user1** ON article.author\_id = **user1**.id
LEFT JOIN user **AS user2** ON article.modified\_by = **user2**.id
WHERE article.id = '1'

(You may need something different - I guessed which user is which, but the SQL engine won't guess.)

Also, maybe you only needed one "user". Who knows?

How can I check if a JSON is empty in NodeJS?

My solution:

let isEmpty = (val) => {
    let typeOfVal = typeof val;
    switch(typeOfVal){
        case 'object':
            return (val.length == 0) || !Object.keys(val).length;
            break;
        case 'string':
            let str = val.trim();
            return str == '' || str == undefined;
            break;
        case 'number':
            return val == '';
            break;
        default:
            return val == '' || val == undefined;
    }
};
console.log(isEmpty([1,2,4,5])); // false
console.log(isEmpty({id: 1, name: "Trung",age: 29})); // false
console.log(isEmpty('TrunvNV')); // false
console.log(isEmpty(8)); // false
console.log(isEmpty('')); // true
console.log(isEmpty('   ')); // true
console.log(isEmpty([])); // true
console.log(isEmpty({})); // true

How to make scipy.interpolate give an extrapolated result beyond the input range?

It may be faster to use boolean indexing with large datasets, since the algorithm checks if every point is in outside the interval, whereas boolean indexing allows an easier and faster comparison.

For example:

# Necessary modules
import numpy as np
from scipy.interpolate import interp1d

# Original data
x = np.arange(0,10)
y = np.exp(-x/3.0)

# Interpolator class
f = interp1d(x, y)

# Output range (quite large)
xo = np.arange(0, 10, 0.001)

# Boolean indexing approach

# Generate an empty output array for "y" values
yo = np.empty_like(xo)

# Values lower than the minimum "x" are extrapolated at the same time
low = xo < f.x[0]
yo[low] =  f.y[0] + (xo[low]-f.x[0])*(f.y[1]-f.y[0])/(f.x[1]-f.x[0])

# Values higher than the maximum "x" are extrapolated at same time
high = xo > f.x[-1]
yo[high] = f.y[-1] + (xo[high]-f.x[-1])*(f.y[-1]-f.y[-2])/(f.x[-1]-f.x[-2])

# Values inside the interpolation range are interpolated directly
inside = np.logical_and(xo >= f.x[0], xo <= f.x[-1])
yo[inside] = f(xo[inside])

In my case, with a data set of 300000 points, this means an speed up from 25.8 to 0.094 seconds, this is more than 250 times faster.

How to express a One-To-Many relationship in Django

While rolling stone's answer is good, straightforward and functional, I think there are two things it does not solve.

  1. If OP wanted to enforce a phone number cannot belong to both a Dude and a Business
  2. The inescapable feeling of sadness as a result of defining the relationship on the PhoneNumber model and not on the Dude/Business models. When extra terrestrials come to Earth, and we want to add an Alien model, we need to modify the PhoneNumber (assuming the ETs have phone numbers) instead of simply adding a "phone_numbers" field to the Alien model.

Introduce the content types framework, which exposes some objects that allow us to create a "generic foreign key" on the PhoneNumber model. Then, we can define the reverse relationship on Dude and Business

from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericForeignKey, GenericRelation
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.db import models

class PhoneNumber(models.Model):
    number = models.CharField()

    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    owner = GenericForeignKey()

class Dude(models.Model):
    numbers = GenericRelation(PhoneNumber)

class Business(models.Model):
    numbers = GenericRelation(PhoneNumber)

See the docs for details, and perhaps check out this article for a quick tutorial.

Also, here is an article that argues against the use of Generic FKs.

Simplest way to detect a mobile device in PHP

Simply you can follow the link. its very simple and very easy to use. I am using this. Its working fine.

http://mobiledetect.net/

use like this

//include the file
require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;

// Any mobile device (phones or tablets).
if ( $detect->isMobile() ) {
 //do some code
}

// Any tablet device.
if( $detect->isTablet() ){
 //do some code
}

Determine which element the mouse pointer is on top of in JavaScript

The target of the mousemove DOM event is the top-most DOM element under the cursor when the mouse moves:

(function(){
    //Don't fire multiple times in a row for the same element
    var prevTarget=null;
    document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
        //This will be the top-most DOM element under cursor
        var target=e.target;
        if(target!==prevTarget){
            console.log(target);
            prevTarget=target;
        }
    });
})();

This is similar to @Philip Walton's solution, but doesn't require jQuery or a setInterval.

  var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
    , template = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/plain; charset=UTF-8"/></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>'
    , base64 = function(s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
    , format = function(s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function(m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
  return function(table, name) {
    if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
    var ctx = {worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML}
    window.location.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
  }
})()
</script>

android.content.Context.getPackageName()' on a null object reference

You can solve your problem easily and use your activity anywhere in the activity, just store activity like this:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
      Context context = this;

      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {....}

      AnotherClass {
          Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
          intent.putExtra("key", "value");
          startActivity(intent);
      }

}
