What are the differences between stateless and stateful systems, and how do they impact parallelism?

A stateful server keeps state between connections. A stateless server does not.

So, when you send a request to a stateful server, it may create some kind of connection object that tracks what information you request. When you send another request, that request operates on the state from the previous request. So you can send a request to "open" something. And then you can send a request to "close" it later. In-between the two requests, that thing is "open" on the server.

When you send a request to a stateless server, it does not create any objects that track information regarding your requests. If you "open" something on the server, the server retains no information at all that you have something open. A "close" operation would make no sense, since there would be nothing to close.

HTTP and NFS are stateless protocols. Each request stands on its own.

Sometimes cookies are used to add some state to a stateless protocol. In HTTP (web pages), the server sends you a cookie and then the browser holds the state, only to send it back to the server on a subsequent request.

SMB is a stateful protocol. A client can open a file on the server, and the server may deny other clients access to that file until the client closes it.

Converting HTML files to PDF

Check out iText; it is a pure Java PDF toolkit which has support for reading data from HTML. I used it recently in a project when I needed to pull content from our CMS and export as PDF files, and it was all rather straightforward. The support for CSS and style tags is pretty limited, but it does render tables without any problems (I never managed to set column width though).

Creating a PDF from HTML goes something like this:

Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, out);
doc.open();
HTMLWorker hw = new HTMLWorker(doc);
hw.parse(new StringReader(html));
doc.close();

What is N-Tier architecture?

It's based on how you separate the presentation layer from the core business logic and data access (Wikipedia)

  • 3-tier means Presentation layer + Component layer + Data access layer.
  • N-tier is when additional layers are added beyond these, usually for additional modularity, configurability, or interoperability with other systems.

How to make an empty div take space

Slight update to @no1cobla answer. This hides the period. This solution works in IE8+.

Maven: How to change path to target directory from command line?

Colin is correct that a profile should be used. However, his answer hard-codes the target directory in the profile. An alternate solution would be to add a profile like this:

    <profile>
        <id>alternateBuildDir</id>
        <activation>
            <property>
                <name>alt.build.dir</name>
            </property>
        </activation>
        <build>
            <directory>${alt.build.dir}</directory>
        </build>
    </profile>

Doing so would have the effect of changing the build directory to whatever is given by the alt.build.dir property, which can be given in a POM, in the user's settings, or on the command line. If the property is not present, the compilation will happen in the normal target directory.

Build project into a JAR automatically in Eclipse

This is possible by defining a custom Builder in eclipse (see the link in Peter's answer). However, unless your project is very small, it may slow down your workspace unacceptably. Autobuild for class files happens incrementally, i.e. only those classes affected by a change are recompiled, but the JAR file will have to be rebuilt and copied completely, every time you save a change.

pandas: to_numeric for multiple columns

another way is using apply, one liner:

cols = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3']
data[cols] = data[cols].apply(pd.to_numeric, errors='coerce', axis=1)

SQL selecting rows by most recent date with two unique columns

You can use a GROUP BY to group items by type and id. Then you can use the MAX() Aggregate function to get the most recent service month. The below returns a result set with ChargeId, ChargeType, and MostRecentServiceMonth

SELECT
  CHARGEID,
  CHARGETYPE,
  MAX(SERVICEMONTH) AS "MostRecentServiceMonth"
FROM INVOICE
GROUP BY CHARGEID, CHARGETYPE

onchange event for html.dropdownlist

If you have a list view you can do this:

  1. Define a select list:

    @{
       var Acciones = new SelectList(new[]
       {
      new SelectListItem { Text = "Modificar", Value = 
       Url.Action("Edit", "Countries")},
      new SelectListItem { Text = "Detallar", Value = 
      Url.Action("Details", "Countries") },
      new SelectListItem { Text = "Eliminar", Value = 
      Url.Action("Delete", "Countries") },
     }, "Value", "Text");
    }
    
  2. Use the defined SelectList, creating a diferent id for each record (remember that id of each element must be unique in a view), and finally call a javascript function for onchange event (include parameters in example url and record key):

    @Html.DropDownList("ddAcciones", Acciones, "Acciones", new { id = 
    item.CountryID, @onchange = "RealizarAccion(this.value ,id)" })
    
  3. onchange function can be something as:

    @section Scripts {
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    
    function RealizarAccion(accion, country)
    {
    
        var url = accion + '/' + country;
        if (url != null && url != '') {
            window.location.href = url ;
        }
    }
    </script>
    
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
    }
    

Python Pandas : pivot table with aggfunc = count unique distinct

aggfunc=pd.Series.nunique provides distinct count.

Full Code:

df2.pivot_table(values='X', rows='Y', cols='Z', 
                         aggfunc=pd.Series.nunique)

Console errors. Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE

When I had the problem recently it was a cross site issue where our dev server hosts our analytics software as well as the application. In the other environments the chrome console would show this error and the javascript file (tracker) on the dev server as the source. This was causing issues for QA personnel who were trying to view the analytics data for their environment (nothing was being captured because of this issue).

The solution to fix this in-house was to add the SSL certificate the DEV site was using to the Trusted People store on the QA people's machine.

If this was a problem in production I would most likely move the javascript into the actual web apps.

How do I set the timeout for a JAX-WS webservice client?

The properties in the accepted answer did not work for me, possibly because I'm using the JBoss implementation of JAX-WS?

Using a different set of properties (found in the JBoss JAX-WS User Guide) made it work:

//Set timeout until a connection is established
((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout", "6000");

//Set timeout until the response is received
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout", "1000");

List passed by ref - help me explain this behaviour

This link will help you in understanding pass by reference in C#. Basically,when an object of reference type is passed by value to an method, only methods which are available on that object can modify the contents of object.

For example List.sort() method changes List contents but if you assign some other object to same variable, that assignment is local to that method. That is why myList remains unchanged.

If we pass object of reference type by using ref keyword then we can assign some other object to same variable and that changes entire object itself.

(Edit: this is the updated version of the documentation linked above.)

How to apply a low-pass or high-pass filter to an array in Matlab?

You can design a lowpass Butterworth filter in runtime, using butter() function, and then apply that to the signal.

fc = 300; % Cut off frequency
fs = 1000; % Sampling rate

[b,a] = butter(6,fc/(fs/2)); % Butterworth filter of order 6
x = filter(b,a,signal); % Will be the filtered signal

Highpass and bandpass filters are also possible with this method. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/butter.html

Load data from txt with pandas

@Pietrovismara's solution is correct but I'd just like to add: rather than having a separate line to add column names, it's possible to do this from pd.read_csv.

df = pd.read_csv('output_list.txt', sep=" ", header=None, names=["a", "b", "c"])

Return zero if no record is found

You can also try: (I tried this and it worked for me)

SELECT ISNULL((SELECT SUM(columnA) FROM my_table WHERE columnB = 1),0)) INTO res;

Fastest way to convert an iterator to a list

since python 3.5 you can use * iterable unpacking operator:

user_list = [*your_iterator]

but the pythonic way to do it is:

user_list  = list(your_iterator)

Build .so file from .c file using gcc command line

To generate a shared library you need first to compile your C code with the -fPIC (position independent code) flag.

gcc -c -fPIC hello.c -o hello.o

This will generate an object file (.o), now you take it and create the .so file:

gcc hello.o -shared -o libhello.so

EDIT: Suggestions from the comments:

You can use

gcc -shared -o libhello.so -fPIC hello.c

to do it in one step. – Jonathan Leffler

I also suggest to add -Wall to get all warnings, and -g to get debugging information, to your gcc commands. – Basile Starynkevitch

Is it possible to add an HTML link in the body of a MAILTO link

Please check below javascript in IE. Don't know if other modern browser will work or not.

<html>

                    var nameSpace = outlookApp.getNameSpace("MAPI");
                    mailFolder = nameSpace.getDefaultFolder(6);
                    mailItem = mailFolder.Items.add('IPM.Note.FormA');

Is it possible to change the package name of an Android app on Google Play?

Complete guide : https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html

As per Android official Blogs : https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2011/06/things-that-cannot-change.html

We can say that:

  • If the manifest package name has changed, the new application will be installed alongside the old application, so they both co-exist on the user’s device at the same time.

  • If the signing certificate changes, trying to install the new application on to the device will fail until the old version is uninstalled.

As per Google App Update check list : https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/113476?hl=en

Update your apps

Prepare your APK

When you're ready to make changes to your APK, make sure to update your app’s version code as well so that existing users will receive your update.

Use the following checklist to make sure your new APK is ready to update your existing users:

  • The package name of the updated APK needs to be the same as the current version.
  • The version code needs to be greater than that current version. Learn more about versioning your applications.
  • The updated APK needs to be signed with the same signature as the current version.

To verify that your APK is using the same certification as the previous version, you can run the following command on both APKs and compare the results:

$ jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs my_application.apk

If the results are identical, you’re using the same key and are ready to continue. If the results are different, you will need to re-sign the APK with the correct key.

Learn more about signing your applications

Upload your APK Once your APK is ready, you can create a new release.

close vs shutdown socket?

"shutdown() doesn't actually close the file descriptor—it just changes its usability. To free a socket descriptor, you need to use close()."1

PHP combine two associative arrays into one array

There is also array_replace, where an original array is modified by other arrays preserving the key => value association without creating duplicate keys.

  • Same keys on other arrays will cause values to overwrite the original array
  • New keys on other arrays will be created on the original array

Set Focus After Last Character in Text Box

Chris Coyier has a mini jQuery plugin for this which works perfectly well: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/move-cursor-to-end-of-textarea-or-input/

It uses setSelectionRange if supported, else has a solid fallback.

jQuery.fn.putCursorAtEnd = function() {
  return this.each(function() {
    $(this).focus()
    // If this function exists...
    if (this.setSelectionRange) {
      // ... then use it (Doesn't work in IE)
      // Double the length because Opera is inconsistent about whether a carriage return is one character or two. Sigh.
      var len = $(this).val().length * 2;
      this.setSelectionRange(len, len);
    } else {
      // ... otherwise replace the contents with itself
      // (Doesn't work in Google Chrome)
      $(this).val($(this).val());
    }
    // Scroll to the bottom, in case we're in a tall textarea
    // (Necessary for Firefox and Google Chrome)
    this.scrollTop = 999999;
  });
};

Then you can just do:

input.putCursorAtEnd();

Deleting DataFrame row in Pandas based on column value

Another way of doing it. May not be the most efficient way as the code looks a bit more complex than the code mentioned in other answers, but still alternate way of doing the same thing.

  df = df.drop(df[df['line_race']==0].index)

How to load CSS Asynchronously

Please care to update the answer as all of the above fails to impress google pagespeed insights now.

According to Google this is how you should implement async loading of Css

 < noscript id="deferred-styles" >
        < link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="small.css"/ >
    < /noscript >

<script>
  var loadDeferredStyles = function() {
    var addStylesNode = document.getElementById("deferred-styles");
    var replacement = document.createElement("div");
    replacement.innerHTML = addStylesNode.textContent;
    document.body.appendChild(replacement)
    addStylesNode.parentElement.removeChild(addStylesNode);
  };
  var raf = window.requestAnimationFrame || window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
      window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame || window.msRequestAnimationFrame;
  if (raf) raf(function() { window.setTimeout(loadDeferredStyles, 0); });
  else window.addEventListener('load', loadDeferredStyles);
</script>

Enum "Inheritance"

another possible solution:

public enum @base
{
    x,
    y,
    z
}

public enum consume
{
    x = @base.x,
    y = @base.y,
    z = @base.z,

    a,b,c
}

// TODO: Add a unit-test to check that if @base and consume are aligned

Rails 2.3.4 Persisting Model on Validation Failure

In your controller, render the new action from your create action if validation fails, with an instance variable, @car populated from the user input (i.e., the params hash). Then, in your view, add a logic check (either an if block around the form or a ternary on the helpers, your choice) that automatically sets the value of the form fields to the params values passed in to @car if car exists. That way, the form will be blank on first visit and in theory only be populated on re-render in the case of error. In any case, they will not be populated unless @car is set.

The following classes could not be instantiated: - android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

I did what @ang_lee said and also i added this line to the app theme style :

<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>

i am using version 26.0.1 :

com.android.support:design:26.0.1
com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.1

building tools:

buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"

Why can't I duplicate a slice with `copy()`?

Another simple way to do this is by using append which will allocate the slice in the process.

arr := []int{1, 2, 3}
tmp := append([]int(nil), arr...)  // Notice the ... splat
fmt.Println(tmp)
fmt.Println(arr)

Output (as expected):

[1 2 3]
[1 2 3]

So a shorthand for copying array arr would be append([]int(nil), arr...)

change schema name:

ALTER SCHEMA "XXXXX" RENAME TO xxxxx;

change table names:

ALTER TABLE xxxxx."AAAAA" RENAME TO aaaaa;

change column names:

ALTER TABLE xxxxx.aaaaa RENAME COLUMN "CCCCC" TO ccccc;

Creating a node class in Java

Welcome to Java! This Nodes are like a blocks, they must be assembled to do amazing things! In this particular case, your nodes can represent a list, a linked list, You can see an example here:

public class ItemLinkedList {
    private ItemInfoNode head;
    private ItemInfoNode tail;
    private int size = 0;

    public int getSize() {
        return size;
    }

    public void addBack(ItemInfo info) {
        size++;
        if (head == null) {
            head = new ItemInfoNode(info, null, null);
            tail = head;
        } else {
            ItemInfoNode node = new ItemInfoNode(info, null, tail);
            this.tail.next =node;
            this.tail = node;
        }
    }

    public void addFront(ItemInfo info) {
        size++;
        if (head == null) {
            head = new ItemInfoNode(info, null, null);
            tail = head;
        } else {
            ItemInfoNode node = new ItemInfoNode(info, head, null);
            this.head.prev = node;
            this.head = node;
        }
    }

    public ItemInfo removeBack() {
        ItemInfo result = null;
        if (head != null) {
            size--;
            result = tail.info;
            if (tail.prev != null) {
                tail.prev.next = null;
                tail = tail.prev;
            } else {
                head = null;
                tail = null;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

    public ItemInfo removeFront() {
        ItemInfo result = null;
        if (head != null) {
            size--;
            result = head.info;
            if (head.next != null) {
                head.next.prev = null;
                head = head.next;
            } else {
                head = null;
                tail = null;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

    public class ItemInfoNode {

        private ItemInfoNode next;
        private ItemInfoNode prev;
        private ItemInfo info;

        public ItemInfoNode(ItemInfo info, ItemInfoNode next, ItemInfoNode prev) {
            this.info = info;
            this.next = next;
            this.prev = prev;
        }

        public void setInfo(ItemInfo info) {
            this.info = info;
        }

        public void setNext(ItemInfoNode node) {
            next = node;
        }

        public void setPrev(ItemInfoNode node) {
            prev = node;
        }

        public ItemInfo getInfo() {
            return info;
        }

        public ItemInfoNode getNext() {
            return next;
        }

        public ItemInfoNode getPrev() {
            return prev;
        }
    }
}

EDIT:

Declare ItemInfo as this:

public class ItemInfo {
    private String name;
    private String rfdNumber;
    private double price;
    private String originalPosition;

    public ItemInfo(){
    }

    public ItemInfo(String name, String rfdNumber, double price, String originalPosition) {
        this.name = name;
        this.rfdNumber = rfdNumber;
        this.price = price;
        this.originalPosition = originalPosition;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getRfdNumber() {
        return rfdNumber;
    }

    public void setRfdNumber(String rfdNumber) {
        this.rfdNumber = rfdNumber;
    }

    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public void setPrice(double price) {
        this.price = price;
    }

    public String getOriginalPosition() {
        return originalPosition;
    }

    public void setOriginalPosition(String originalPosition) {
        this.originalPosition = originalPosition;
    }
}

Then, You can use your nodes inside the linked list like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ItemLinkedList list = new ItemLinkedList();
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        list.addBack(new ItemInfo("name-"+i, "rfd"+i, i, String.valueOf(i)));

    }
    while (list.size() > 0){
        System.out.println(list.removeFront().getName());
    }
}

Selecting pandas column by location

Two approaches that come to mind:

>>> df
          A         B         C         D
0  0.424634  1.716633  0.282734  2.086944
1 -1.325816  2.056277  2.583704 -0.776403
2  1.457809 -0.407279 -1.560583 -1.316246
3 -0.757134 -1.321025  1.325853 -2.513373
4  1.366180 -1.265185 -2.184617  0.881514
>>> df.iloc[:, 2]
0    0.282734
1    2.583704
2   -1.560583
3    1.325853
4   -2.184617
Name: C
>>> df[df.columns[2]]
0    0.282734
1    2.583704
2   -1.560583
3    1.325853
4   -2.184617
Name: C

Edit: The original answer suggested the use of df.ix[:,2] but this function is now deprecated. Users should switch to df.iloc[:,2].

Change div width live with jQuery

There are two ways to do this:

CSS: Use width as %, like 75%, so the width of the div will change automatically when user resizes the browser.

Javascipt: Use resize event

$(window).bind('resize', function()
{
    if($(window).width() > 500)
        $('#divID').css('width', '300px');
    else
        $('divID').css('width', '200px');
});

Hope this will help you :)

Warning: A non-numeric value encountered

$sub_total_price = 0; 

foreach($booking_list as $key=>$value) {
        $sub_total_price += ($price * $quantity); 
}

echo $sub_total_price;

it's working 100% :)

Change text (html) with .animate

Following the suggestion by JiminP....

I made a jsFiddle that will "smoothly" transition between two spans in case anyone is interested in seeing this in action. You have two main options:

  1. one span fades out at the same time as the other span is fading in
  2. one span fades out followed by the other span fading in.

The first time you click the button, number 1 above will occur. The second time you click the button, number 2 will occur. (I did this so you can visually compare the two effects.)

Try it Out: http://jsfiddle.net/jWcLz/594/

Details:

Number 1 above (the more difficult effect) is accomplished by positioning the spans directly on top of each other via CSS with absolute positioning. Also, the jQuery animates are not chained together, so that they can execute at the same time.

HTML

<div class="onTopOfEachOther">
    <span id='a'>Hello</span>
    <span id='b' style="display: none;">Goodbye</span>
</div>

<br />
<br />

<input type="button" id="btnTest" value="Run Test" />

CSS

.onTopOfEachOther {
    position: relative;
}
.onTopOfEachOther span {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
}

JavaScript

$('#btnTest').click(function() {        
    fadeSwitchElements('a', 'b');    
}); 

function fadeSwitchElements(id1, id2)
{
    var element1 = $('#' + id1);
    var element2 = $('#' + id2);

    if(element1.is(':visible'))
    {
        element1.fadeToggle(500);
        element2.fadeToggle(500);
    }
    else
    {
         element2.fadeToggle(500, function() {
            element1.fadeToggle(500);
        });   
    }    
}

Using media breakpoints in Bootstrap 4-alpha

Bootstrap has a way of using media queries to define the different task for different sites. It uses four breakpoints.

we have extra small screen sizes which are less than 576 pixels that small in which I mean it's size from 576 to 768 pixels.

medium screen sizes take up screen size from 768 pixels up to 992 pixels large screen size from 992 pixels up to 1200 pixels.

E.g Small Text

This means that at the small screen between 576px and 768px, center the text For medium screen, change "sm" to "md" and same goes to large "lg"

SQL - Select first 10 rows only?

In MySQL:

SELECT * FROM `table` LIMIT 0, 10

Convert String to Carbon

Why not try using the following:

$dateTimeString = $aDateString." ".$aTimeString;
$dueDateTime = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $dateTimeString, 'Europe/London');   

Difference between jQuery’s .hide() and setting CSS to display: none

Both do the same on all browsers, AFAIK. Checked on Chrome and Firefox, both append display:none to the style attribute of the element.

Get index of current item in a PowerShell loop

For PowerShell 3.0 and later, there is one built in :)

foreach ($item in $array) {
    $array.IndexOf($item)
}

How to know the git username and email saved during configuration?

Sometimes above solutions doesn't work in macbook to get username n password.

IDK why?, here i got another solution.

$ git credential-osxkeychain get
host=github.com
protocol=https

this will revert username and password

Maven build Compilation error : Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project Maven

You should add the code into pom.xml like:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL

The problem is even if you create a proxy or load the content and inject it as if it's local, any scripts that that content defines will be loaded from the other domain and cause cross-domain problems.

C/C++ Struct vs Class

In C++, structs and classes are pretty much the same; the only difference is that where access modifiers (for member variables, methods, and base classes) in classes default to private, access modifiers in structs default to public.

However, in C, a struct is just an aggregate collection of (public) data, and has no other class-like features: no methods, no constructor, no base classes, etc. Although C++ inherited the keyword, it extended the semantics. (This, however, is why things default to public in structs—a struct written like a C struct behaves like one.)

While it's possible to fake some OOP in C—for instance, defining functions which all take a pointer to a struct as their first parameter, or occasionally coercing structs with the same first few fields to be "sub/superclasses"—it's always sort of bolted on, and isn't really part of the language.

Cannot download Docker images behind a proxy

On Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) with Docker 1.9.1, I just uncommented the http_proxy line, updated the value and then restarted the Docker service.

export http_proxy="http://proxy.server.com:80"

and then

service docker restart

How to override maven property in command line?

See Introduction to the POM

finalName is created as:

<build>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</build>

One of the solutions is to add own property:

<properties>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</properties>
<build>
    <finalName>${finalName}</finalName>
 </build>

And now try:

mvn -DfinalName=build clean package

QByteArray to QString

you can use QString::fromAscii()

QByteArray data = entity->getData();
QString s_data = QString::fromAscii(data.data());

with data() returning a char*

for QT5, you should use fromCString() instead, as fromAscii() is deprecated, see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-21872 https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-21872

How to use glob() to find files recursively?

Here is a solution that will match the pattern against the full path and not just the base filename.

It uses fnmatch.translate to convert a glob-style pattern into a regular expression, which is then matched against the full path of each file found while walking the directory.

re.IGNORECASE is optional, but desirable on Windows since the file system itself is not case-sensitive. (I didn't bother compiling the regex because docs indicate it should be cached internally.)

import fnmatch
import os
import re

def findfiles(dir, pattern):
    patternregex = fnmatch.translate(pattern)
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dir):
        for basename in files:
            filename = os.path.join(root, basename)
            if re.search(patternregex, filename, re.IGNORECASE):
                yield filename

How can I send an email by Java application using GMail, Yahoo, or Hotmail?

The minimum required:

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.AddressException;

import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class MessageSender {

    public static void sendHardCoded() throws AddressException, MessagingException {
        String to = "[email protected]";
        final String from = "[email protected]";

        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");

        Session session = Session.getInstance(properties,

Import / Export database with SQL Server Server Management Studio

I tried the answers above but the generated script file was very large and I was having problems while importing the data. I ended up Detaching the database, then copying .mdf to my new machine, then Attaching it to my new version of SQL Server Management Studio.

I found instructions for how to do this on the Microsoft Website:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858.aspx

NOTE: After Detaching the database I found the .mdf file within this directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\

TSQL Default Minimum DateTime

As far as I am aware no function exists to return this, you will have to hard set it.

Attempting to cast from values such as 0 to get a minimum date will default to 01-01-1900.

As suggested previously best left set to NULL (and use ISNULL when reading if you need to), or if you are worried about setting it correctly you could even set a trigger on the table to set your modified date on edits.

If you have your heart set on getting the minimum possible date then:

create table atable
(
  atableID int IDENTITY(1, 1) PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
  Modified datetime DEFAULT '1753-01-01'
)

How to check whether particular port is open or closed on UNIX?

netstat -ano|grep 443|grep LISTEN

will tell you whether a process is listening on port 443 (you might have to replace LISTEN with a string in your language, though, depending on your system settings).

What are functional interfaces used for in Java 8?

Functional Interface:

  • Introduced in Java 8
  • Interface that contains a "single abstract" method.

Example 1:

   interface CalcArea {   // --functional interface
        double calcArea(double rad);
    }           

Example 2:

interface CalcGeometry { // --functional interface
    double calcArea(double rad);
    default double calcPeri(double rad) {
        return 0.0;
    }
}       

Example 3:

interface CalcGeometry {  // -- not functional interface
    double calcArea(double rad);
    double calcPeri(double rad);
}   

Java8 annotation -- @FunctionalInterface

  • Annotation check that interface contains only one abstract method. If not, raise error.
  • Even though @FunctionalInterface missing, it is still functional interface (if having single abstract method). The annotation helps avoid mistakes.
  • Functional interface may have additional static & default methods.
  • e.g. Iterable<>, Comparable<>, Comparator<>.

Applications of Functional Interface:

  • Method references
  • Lambda Expression
  • Constructor references

To learn functional interfaces, learn first default methods in interface, and after learning functional interface, it will be easy to you to understand method reference and lambda expression

Why doesn't wireshark detect my interface?

Just uninstall NPCAP and install wpcap. This will fix the issue.

Local dependency in package.json

This worked for me: first, make sure the npm directories have the right user

sudo chown -R myuser ~/.npm
sudo chown -R myuser /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Then your in your package.json link the directory

"scripts": {
 "preinstall": "npm ln mylib ../../path/to/mylib"
}, 
"dependencies": {
  "mylib" : "*"
}

How to get datetime in JavaScript?

Semantically, you're probably looking for the one-liner

new Date().toLocaleString()

which formats the date in the locale of the user.

If you're really looking for a specific way to format dates, I recommend the moment.js library.

OpenSSL: unable to verify the first certificate for Experian URL

Adding additional information to emboss's answer.

To put it simply, there is an incorrect cert in your certificate chain.

For example, your certificate authority will have most likely given you 3 files.

  • your_domain_name.crt
  • DigiCertCA.crt # (Or whatever the name of your certificate authority is)
  • TrustedRoot.crt

You most likely combined all of these files into one bundle.

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt) 
-----END CERTIFICATE----- 
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
(Your Intermediate certificate: DigiCertCA.crt) 
-----END CERTIFICATE----- 
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
(Your Root certificate: TrustedRoot.crt) 
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

If you create the bundle, but use an old, or an incorrect version of your Intermediate Cert (DigiCertCA.crt in my example), you will get the exact symptoms you are describing.

Redownload all certs from your certificate authority and make a fresh bundle.

When to use setAttribute vs .attribute= in JavaScript?

This looks like one case where it is better to use setAttribute:

Dev.Opera — Efficient JavaScript

var posElem = document.getElementById('animation');
var newStyle = 'background: ' + newBack + ';' +
'color: ' + newColor + ';' +
    'border: ' + newBorder + ';';
if(typeof(posElem.style.cssText) != 'undefined') {
    posElem.style.cssText = newStyle;
} else {
    posElem.setAttribute('style', newStyle);
}

Python class input argument

The problem in your initial definition of the class is that you've written:

class name(object, name):

This means that the class inherits the base class called "object", and the base class called "name". However, there is no base class called "name", so it fails. Instead, all you need to do is have the variable in the special init method, which will mean that the class takes it as a variable.

class name(object):
  def __init__(self, name):
    print name

If you wanted to use the variable in other methods that you define within the class, you can assign name to self.name, and use that in any other method in the class without needing to pass it to the method.

For example:

class name(object):
  def __init__(self, name):
    self.name = name
  def PrintName(self):
    print self.name

a = name('bob')
a.PrintName()
bob

Android emulator shows nothing except black screen and adb devices shows "device offline"

I was having this issue on my Mac. When you create the device if you change "Graphics" from "Automatic" to "Software" it fixes the issue, or it least it did for me.

How to create a hex dump of file containing only the hex characters without spaces in bash?

I think this is the most widely supported version (requiring only POSIX defined tr and od behavior):

cat "$file" | od -v -t x1 -A n | tr -d ' \n'

This uses od to print each byte as hex without address without skipping repeated bytes and tr to delete all spaces and linefeeds in the output. Note that not even the trailing linefeed is emitted here. (The cat is intentional to allow multicore processing where cat can wait for filesystem while od is still processing previously read part. Single core users may want replace that with < "$file" od ... to save starting one additional process.)

Get integer value of the current year in Java

You can also use Java 8's LocalDate:

import java.time.LocalDate;

int year = LocalDate.now().getYear();

Get current URL/URI without some of $_GET variables

I don't know about doing it in Yii, but you could just do this, and it should work anywhere (largely lifted from my answer here):

// Get HTTP/HTTPS (the possible values for this vary from server to server)
$myUrl = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] && !in_array(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']),array('off','no'))) ? 'https' : 'http';
// Get domain portion
$myUrl .= '://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
// Get path to script
$myUrl .= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// Add path info, if any
if (!empty($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) $myUrl .= $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];

$get = $_GET; // Create a copy of $_GET
unset($get['lg']); // Unset whatever you don't want
if (count($get)) { // Only add a query string if there's anything left
  $myUrl .= '?'.http_build_query($get);
}

echo $myUrl;

Alternatively, you could pass the result of one of the Yii methods into parse_url(), and manipulate the result to re-build what you want.

Rails - controller action name to string

In the specific case of a Rails action (as opposed to the general case of getting the current method name) you can use params[:action]

Alternatively you might want to look into customising the Rails log format so that the action/method name is included by the format rather than it being in your log message.

How to convert a string variable containing time to time_t type in c++?

With C++11 you can now do

struct std::tm tm;
std::istringstream ss("16:35:12");
ss >> std::get_time(&tm, "%H:%M:%S"); // or just %T in this case
std::time_t time = mktime(&tm);

see std::get_time and strftime for reference

<strong> vs. font-weight:bold & <em> vs. font-style:italic

HTML represents meaning; CSS represents appearance. How you mark up text in a document is not determined by how that text appears on screen, but simply what it means. As another example, some other HTML elements, like headings, are styled font-weight: bold by default, but they are marked up using <h1><h6>, not <strong> or <b>.

In HTML5, you use <strong> to indicate important parts of a sentence, for example:

<p><strong>Do not touch.</strong> Contains <strong>hazardous</strong> materials.

And you use <em> to indicate linguistic stress, for example:

<p>A Gentleman: I suppose he does. But there's no point in asking.
<p>A Lady: Why not?
<p>A Gentleman: Because he doesn't row.
<p>A Lady: He doesn't <em>row</em>?
<p>A Gentleman: No. He <em>doesn't</em> row.
<p>A Lady: Ah. I see what you mean.

These elements are semantic elements that just happen to have bold and italic representations by default, but you can style them however you like. For example, in the <em> sample above, you could represent stress emphasis in uppercase instead of italics, but the functional purpose of the <em> element remains the same — to change the context of a sentence by emphasizing specific words or phrases over others:

em {
    font-style: normal;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

Note that the original answer (below) applied to HTML standards prior to HTML5, in which <strong> and <em> had somewhat different meanings, <b> and <i> were purely presentational and had no semantic meaning whatsoever. Like <strong> and <em> respectively, they have similar presentational defaults but may be styled differently.


You use <strong> and <em> to indicate intense emphasis and normal emphasis respectively.

Or think of it this way: font-weight: bold is closer to <b> than <strong>, and font-style: italic is closer to <i> than <em>. These visual styles are purely visual: tools like screen readers aren't going to understand what bold and italic mean, but some screen readers are able to read <strong> and <em> text in a more emphasized tone.

Write to custom log file from a Bash script

@chepner make a good point that logger is dedicated to logging messages.

I do need to mention that @Thomas Haratyk simply inquired why I didn't simply use echo.

At the time, I didn't know about echo, as I'm learning shell-scripting, but he was right.

My simple solution is now this:

#!/bin/bash
echo "This logs to where I want, but using echo" > /var/log/mycustomlog

The example above will overwrite the file after the >

So, I can append to that file with this:

#!/bin/bash
echo "I will just append to my custom log file" >> /var/log/customlog

Thanks guys!

  • on a side note, it's simply my personal preference to keep my personal logs in /var/log/, but I'm sure there are other good ideas out there. And since I didn't create a daemon, /var/log/ probably isn't the best place for my custom log file. (just saying)

Timestamp with a millisecond precision: How to save them in MySQL

You can use BIGINT as follows:

user_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
identifier INT,
phone_number CHAR(11) NOT NULL,

reg_time BIGINT,
last_active_time BIGINT,
PRIMARY KEY (user_id),
INDEX (phone_number, user_id, identifier)
   );

Use of symbols '@', '&', '=' and '>' in custom directive's scope binding: AngularJS

I had trouble binding a value with any of the symbols in AngularJS 1.6. I did not get any value at all, only undefined, even though I did it the exact same way as other bindings in the same file that did work.

Problem was: my variable name had an underscore.

This fails:

bindings: { import_nr: '='}

This works:

bindings: { importnr: '='}

(Not completely related to the original question, but that was one of the top search results when I looked, so hopefully this helps someone with the same problem.)

How to redirect DNS to different ports

(It's been a while since I did this stuff. Please don't blindly assume that all the details below are correct. But I hope I'm not too embarrassingly wrong. :))


As the previous answer stated, the Minecraft client (as of 1.3.1) supports SRV record lookup using the service name _minecraft and the protocol name _tcp, which means that if your zone file looks like this...

arboristal.com.                 86400 IN A   <your IP address>
_minecraft._tcp.arboristal.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 20 25565 arboristal.com.
_minecraft._tcp.arboristal.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 40 25566 arboristal.com.
_minecraft._tcp.arboristal.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 40 25567 arboristal.com.

...then Minecraft clients who perform SRV record lookup as hinted in the changelog will use ports 25566 and 25567 with preference (40% of the time each) over port 25565 (20% of the time). We can assume that Minecraft clients who do not find and respect these SRV records will use port 25565 as usual.


However, I would argue that it would actually be more "clean and professional" to do it using a load balancer such as Nginx. (I pick Nginx just because I've used it before. I'm not claiming it's uniquely suited to this task. It might even be a bad choice for some reason.) Then you don't have to mess with your DNS, and you can use the same approach to load-balance any service, not just ones like Minecraft which happen to have done the hard client-side work to look up and respect SRV records. To do it the Nginx way, you'd run Nginx on the arboristal.com machine with something like the following in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/arboristal.com:

upstream minecraft_servers {
    ip_hash;
    server 127.0.0.1:25566 weight=1;
    server 127.0.0.1:25567 weight=1;
    server 127.0.0.1:25568 weight=1;
}
server {
    listen 25565;
    proxy_pass minecraft_servers;
}

Here we are controlling the load-balancing ourselves on the server side (via Nginx), so we no longer need to worry that badly behaved clients might prefer port 25565 to the other two ports. In fact, now all clients will talk to arboristal.com:25565! But the listener on that port is no longer a Minecraft server; it's Nginx, secretly proxying all the traffic onto three other ports on the same machine.

We load-balance based on a hash of the client's IP address (ip_hash), so that if a client disconnects and then reconnects later, there's a good chance that it'll get reconnected to the same Minecraft server it had before. (I don't know how much this matters to Minecraft, or how SRV-enabled clients are programmed to deal with this aspect.)

Notice that we used to run a Minecraft server on port 25565; I've moved it to port 25568 so that we can use port 25565 for the load-balancer.

A possible disadvantage of the Nginx method is that it makes Nginx a bottleneck in your system. If Nginx goes down, then all three servers become unreachable. If some part of your system can't keep up with the volume of traffic on that single port, 25565, all three servers become flaky. And not to mention, Nginx is a big new dependency in your ecosystem. Maybe you don't want to introduce yet another massive piece of software with a complicated config language and a huge attack surface. I can respect that.

A possible advantage of the Nginx method is... that it makes Nginx a bottleneck in your system! You can apply global policies via Nginx, such as rejecting packets above a certain size, or responding with a static web page to HTTP connections on port 80. You can also firewall off ports 25566, 25567, and 25568 from the Internet, since now they should be talked to only by Nginx over the loopback interface. This reduces your attack surface somewhat.

Nginx also makes it easier to add new Minecraft servers to your backend; now you can just add a server line to your config and service nginx reload. Using the old port-based approach, you'd have to add a new SRV record with your DNS provider (and it could take up to 86400 seconds for clients to notice the change) and then also remember to edit your firewall (e.g. /etc/iptables.rules) to permit external traffic over that new port.

Nginx also frees you from having to think about DNS TTLs when making ops changes. Suppose you decide to split up your three Minecraft servers onto three different physical machines with different IP addresses. Using Nginx, you can do that completely via config changes to your server lines, and you can keep those new machines inside your firewall (connected only to Nginx over a private interface), and the changes will take effect immediately, by definition. Whereas, using SRV records, you'll have to rewrite your zone file to something like this...

arboristal.com.                 86400 IN CNAME mc1.arboristal.com.
mc1.arboristal.com.             86400 IN A   <a new machine's IP address>
mc2.arboristal.com.             86400 IN A   <a new machine's IP address>
mc3.arboristal.com.             86400 IN A   <a new machine's IP address>
_minecraft._tcp.arboristal.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 20 25565 mc1.arboristal.com.
_minecraft._tcp.arboristal.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 40 25565 mc2.arboristal.com.
_minecraft._tcp.arboristal.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 40 25565 mc3.arboristal.com.

...and you'll have to leave all three new machines poking outside your firewall so that they can receive connections from the Internet. And you'll have to wait up to 86400 seconds for your clients to notice the change, which could affect the complexity of your rollout plan. And if you were running any other services (such as an HTTP server) on arboristal.com, now you have to move them to the mc1.arboristal.com machine because of how I did that CNAME. I did that only for the benefit of those hypothetical Minecraft clients who don't respect SRV records and will still be trying to connect to arboristal.com:25565.


So, I think both ways (SRV records and Nginx load-balancing) are reasonable, and your choice will depend on your personal preferences. I caricature the options as:

  • SRV records: "I just need it to work. I don't want complexity. And I know and trust my DNS provider."
  • Nginx: "I foresee arboristal.com taking over the world, or at least moving to a bigger machine someday. I'm not scared of learning a new tool. What's a zone file?"

Find substring in the string in TWIG

Just searched for the docs, and found this:

Containment Operator: The in operator performs containment test. It returns true if the left operand is contained in the right:

{# returns true #}

{{ 1 in [1, 2, 3] }}

{{ 'cd' in 'abcde' }}

Split Div Into 2 Columns Using CSS

For whatever reason I've never liked the clearing approaches, I rely on floats and percentage widths for things like this.

Here's something that works in simple cases:

#content { 
  overflow:auto; 
  width: 600px; 
  background: gray; 
} 

#left, #right { 
  width: 40%; 
  margin:5px; 
  padding: 1em; 
  background: white; 
} 

#left  { float:left;  }
#right { float:right; } 

If you put some content in you'll see that it works:

<div id="content">
  <div id="left">
     <div id="object1">some stuff</div>
     <div id="object2">some more stuff</div>
  </div>

  <div id="right">
     <div id="object3">unas cosas</div>
     <div id="object4">mas cosas para ti</div>
  </div>
</div>

How to place the "table" at the middle of the webpage?

The shortest and easiest answer is: you shouldn't vertically center things in webpages. HTML and CSS simply are not created with that in mind. They are text formatting languages, not user interface design languages.

That said, this is the best way I can think of. However, this will NOT WORK in Internet Explorer 7 and below!

<style>
  html, body {
    height: 100%;
  }
  #tableContainer-1 {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    display: table;
  }
  #tableContainer-2 {
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: table-cell;
    height: 100%;
  }
  #myTable {
    margin: 0 auto;
  }
</style>
<div id="tableContainer-1">
  <div id="tableContainer-2">
    <table id="myTable" border>
      <tr><td>Name</td><td>J W BUSH</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Proficiency</td><td>PHP</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Company</td><td>BLAH BLAH</td></tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

Convert ndarray from float64 to integer

While astype is probably the "best" option there are several other ways to convert it to an integer array. I'm using this arr in the following examples:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> arr = np.array([1,2,3,4], dtype=float)
>>> arr
array([ 1.,  2.,  3.,  4.])

The int* functions from NumPy

>>> np.int64(arr)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

>>> np.int_(arr)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

The NumPy *array functions themselves:

>>> np.array(arr, dtype=int)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

>>> np.asarray(arr, dtype=int)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

>>> np.asanyarray(arr, dtype=int)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

The astype method (that was already mentioned but for completeness sake):

>>> arr.astype(int)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

Note that passing int as dtype to astype or array will default to a default integer type that depends on your platform. For example on Windows it will be int32, on 64bit Linux with 64bit Python it's int64. If you need a specific integer type and want to avoid the platform "ambiguity" you should use the corresponding NumPy types like np.int32 or np.int64.

PermGen elimination in JDK 8

Reasons of ignoring these argument is permanent generation has been removed in HotSpot for JDK8 because of following drawbacks

  • Fixed size at startup – difficult to tune.
  • Internal Hotspot types were Java objects : Could move with full GC, opaque, not strongly typed and hard to debug, needed meta-metadata.
  • Simplify full collections : Special iterators for metadata for each collector
  • Want to deallocate class data concurrently and not during GC pause
  • Enable future improvements that were limited by PermGen.

The Permanent Generation (PermGen) space has completely been removed and is kind of replaced by a new space called Metaspace. The consequences of the PermGen removal is that obviously the PermSize and MaxPermSize JVM arguments are ignored and you will never get a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen error.

Advantages of MetaSpace

  • Take advantage of Java Language Specification property : Classes and associated metadata lifetimes match class loader’s
  • Per loader storage area – Metaspace
  • Linear allocation only
  • No individual reclamation (except for RedefineClasses and class loading failure)
  • No GC scan or compaction
  • No relocation for metaspace objects

Metaspace Tuning

The maximum metaspace size can be set using the -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize flag, and the default is unlimited, which means that only your system memory is the limit. The -XX:MetaspaceSize tuning flag defines the initial size of metaspace If you don’t specify this flag, the Metaspace will dynamically re-size depending of the application demand at runtime.

Change enables other optimizations and features in the future

  • Application class data sharing
  • Young collection optimizations, G1 class unloading
  • Metadata size reductions and internal JVM footprint projects

There is improved GC performace also.

Executing <script> injected by innerHTML after AJAX call

Here is the script that will evaluates all script tags in the text.

function evalJSFromHtml(html) {
  var newElement = document.createElement('div');
  newElement.innerHTML = html;

  var scripts = newElement.getElementsByTagName("script");
  for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; ++i) {
    var script = scripts[i];
    eval(script.innerHTML);
  }
}

Just call this function after you receive your HTML from server. Be warned: using eval can be dangerous.

PHP - print all properties of an object

<?php var_dump(obj) ?>

or

<?php print_r(obj) ?>

These are the same things you use for arrays too.

These will show protected and private properties of objects with PHP 5. Static class members will not be shown according to the manual.

If you want to know the member methods you can use get_class_methods():

$class_methods = get_class_methods('myclass');
// or
$class_methods = get_class_methods(new myclass());
foreach ($class_methods as $method_name) 
{
    echo "$method_name<br/>";
}

Python pandas insert list into a cell

Pandas >= 0.21

set_value has been deprecated. You can now use DataFrame.at to set by label, and DataFrame.iat to set by integer position.

Setting Cell Values with at/iat

# Setup
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [12, 23], 'B': [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']]})
df

    A       B
0  12  [a, b]
1  23  [c, d]

df.dtypes

A     int64
B    object
dtype: object

If you want to set a value in second row of the "B" to some new list, use DataFrane.at:

df.at[1, 'B'] = ['m', 'n']
df

    A       B
0  12  [a, b]
1  23  [m, n]

You can also set by integer position using DataFrame.iat

df.iat[1, df.columns.get_loc('B')] = ['m', 'n']
df

    A       B
0  12  [a, b]
1  23  [m, n]

What if I get ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence?

I'll try to reproduce this with:

df

    A   B
0  12 NaN
1  23 NaN

df.dtypes

A      int64
B    float64
dtype: object

df.at[1, 'B'] = ['m', 'n']
# ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.

This is because of a your object is of float64 dtype, whereas lists are objects, so there's a mismatch there. What you would have to do in this situation is to convert the column to object first.

df['B'] = df['B'].astype(object)
df.dtypes

A     int64
B    object
dtype: object

Then, it works:

df.at[1, 'B'] = ['m', 'n']
df

    A       B
0  12     NaN
1  23  [m, n]

Possible, But Hacky

Even more wacky, I've found you can hack through DataFrame.loc to achieve something similar if you pass nested lists.

df.loc[1, 'B'] = [['m'], ['n'], ['o'], ['p']]
df

    A             B
0  12        [a, b]
1  23  [m, n, o, p]

What are the proper permissions for an upload folder with PHP/Apache?

I would go with Ryan's answer if you really want to do this.

In general on a *nix environment, you always want to err on giving away as little permissions as possible.

9 times out of 10, 755 is the ideal permission for this - as the only user with the ability to modify the files will be the webserver. Change this to 775 with your ftp user in a group if you REALLY need to change this.

Very elegant solution inspired from this one. This one uses only .Net library and does not need to use any command line or Win32 API.

Code for ready reference:

NetworkCredential theNetworkCredential = new NetworkCredential(@"domain\username", "password");
CredentialCache theNetCache = new CredentialCache();
theNetCache.Add(new Uri(@"\\computer"), "Basic", theNetworkCredential);
string[] theFolders = Directory.GetDirectories(@"\\computer\share");

String array initialization in Java

names[] = {"Ankit","Bohra","Xyz"};

is an initializer and used solely when constructing or creating a new array object. It cannot be used to set the array. You can use it when declared as:

String[] names= {"Ankit","Bohra","Xyz"};

You may also use:

names=new String[] {"Ankit","Bohra","Xyz"};

Pass parameter to controller from @Html.ActionLink MVC 4

You are using a wrong overload of the Html.ActionLink helper. What you think is routeValues is actually htmlAttributes! Just look at the generated HTML, you will see that this anchor's href property doesn't look as you expect it to look.

Here's what you are using:

@Html.ActionLink(
    "Reply",                                                  // linkText
    "BlogReplyCommentAdd",                                    // actionName
    "Blog",                                                   // routeValues
    new {                                                     // htmlAttributes
        blogPostId = blogPostId, 
        replyblogPostmodel = Model, 
        captchaValid = Model.AddNewComment.DisplayCaptcha 
    }
)

and here's what you should use:

@Html.ActionLink(
    "Reply",                                                  // linkText
    "BlogReplyCommentAdd",                                    // actionName
    "Blog",                                                   // controllerName
    new {                                                     // routeValues
        blogPostId = blogPostId, 
        replyblogPostmodel = Model, 
        captchaValid = Model.AddNewComment.DisplayCaptcha 
    },
    null                                                      // htmlAttributes
)

Also there's another very serious issue with your code. The following routeValue:

replyblogPostmodel = Model

You cannot possibly pass complex objects like this in an ActionLink. So get rid of it and also remove the BlogPostModel parameter from your controller action. You should use the blogPostId parameter to retrieve the model from wherever this model is persisted, or if you prefer from wherever you retrieved the model in the GET action:

public ActionResult BlogReplyCommentAdd(int blogPostId, bool captchaValid)
{
    BlogPostModel model = repository.Get(blogPostId);
    ...
}

As far as your initial problem is concerned with the wrong overload I would recommend you writing your helpers using named parameters:

@Html.ActionLink(
    linkText: "Reply",
    actionName: "BlogReplyCommentAdd",
    controllerName: "Blog",
    routeValues: new {
        blogPostId = blogPostId, 
        captchaValid = Model.AddNewComment.DisplayCaptcha
    },
    htmlAttributes: null
)

Now not only that your code is more readable but you will never have confusion between the gazillions of overloads that Microsoft made for those helpers.

Uri content://media/external/file doesn't exist for some devices

Most probably it has to do with caching on the device. Catching the exception and ignoring is not nice but my problem was fixed and it seems to work.

How to format a number 0..9 to display with 2 digits (it's NOT a date)

I know that is late to respond, but there are a basic way to do it, with no libraries. If your number is less than 100, then:

(number/100).toFixed(2).toString().slice(2);

Error:(1, 0) Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found

This just happened to me using Android Studio 1.3.2, however, since I had just created the project, I deleted it and created it again.
It seems that it had not been properly created by Android Studio the first time, not even the project folders where as expected.

How to implement history.back() in angular.js

Or you can simply use code :

onClick="javascript:history.go(-1);"

Like:

<a class="back" ng-class="icons">
   <img src="../media/icons/right_circular.png" onClick="javascript:history.go(-1);" />
</a>

What is the difference between a Relational and Non-Relational Database?

The difference between relational and non-relational is exactly that. The relational database architecture provides with constraints objects such as primary keys, foreign keys, etc that allows one to tie two or more tables in a relation. This is good so that we normalize our tables which is to say split information about what the database represents into many different tables, once can keep the integrity of the data.

For example, say you have a series of table that houses information about an employee. You could not delete a record from a table without deleting all the records that pertain to such record from the other tables. In this way you implement data integrity. The non-relational database doesn't provide this constraints constructs that will allow you to implement data integrity.

Unless you don't implement this constraint in the front end application that is utilized to populate the databases' tables, you are implementing a mess that can be compared with the wild west.

R plot: size and resolution

A reproducible example:

the_plot <- function()
{
  x <- seq(0, 1, length.out = 100)
  y <- pbeta(x, 1, 10)
  plot(
    x,
    y,
    xlab = "False Positive Rate",
    ylab = "Average true positive rate",
    type = "l"
  )
}

James's suggestion of using pointsize, in combination with the various cex parameters, can produce reasonable results.

png(
  "test.png",
  width     = 3.25,
  height    = 3.25,
  units     = "in",
  res       = 1200,
  pointsize = 4
)
par(
  mar      = c(5, 5, 2, 2),
  xaxs     = "i",
  yaxs     = "i",
  cex.axis = 2,
  cex.lab  = 2
)
the_plot()
dev.off()

Of course the better solution is to abandon this fiddling with base graphics and use a system that will handle the resolution scaling for you. For example,

library(ggplot2)

ggplot_alternative <- function()
{
  the_data <- data.frame(
    x <- seq(0, 1, length.out = 100),
    y = pbeta(x, 1, 10)
  )

ggplot(the_data, aes(x, y)) +
    geom_line() +
    xlab("False Positive Rate") +
    ylab("Average true positive rate") +
    coord_cartesian(0:1, 0:1)
}

ggsave(
  "ggtest.png",
  ggplot_alternative(),
  width = 3.25,
  height = 3.25,
  dpi = 1200
)

Best timestamp format for CSV/Excel?

Go to the language settings in the Control Panel, then Format Options, select a locale and see the actual date format for the chosen locale used by Windows by default. Yes, that timestamp format is locale-sensitive. Excel uses those formats when parsing CSV.

Even further, if the locale uses characters beyond ASCII, you'll have to emit CSV in the corresponding pre-Unicode Windows "ANSI" codepage, e.g. CP1251. Excel won't accept UTF-8.

How can I convert a zero-terminated byte array to string?

For example,

package main

import "fmt"

func CToGoString(c []byte) string {
    n := -1
    for i, b := range c {
        if b == 0 {
            break
        }
        n = i
    }
    return string(c[:n+1])
}

func main() {
    c := [100]byte{'a', 'b', 'c'}
    fmt.Println("C: ", len(c), c[:4])
    g := CToGoString(c[:])
    fmt.Println("Go:", len(g), g)
}

Output:

C:  100 [97 98 99 0]
Go: 3 abc

how to make negative numbers into positive

You have to use:

abs() for int
fabs() for double
fabsf() for float

Above function will also work but you can also try something like this.

    if(a<0)
    {
         a=-a;
    }

Print <div id="printarea"></div> only?

Use a special Stylesheet for printing

<link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

and then add a class i.e. "noprint" to every tag which's content you don't want to print.

In the CSS use

.noprint {
  display: none;
}

Nuget connection attempt failed "Unable to load the service index for source"

In my case, the problem was that I was building on a, older virtual machine which was based on Win7.

I found this fix from https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/issues/8176#issuecomment-683923724 :

nuget.org started enforcing the use of TLS 1.2 (and dropped support for TLS 1.1 and 1.0) earlier this year. Windows 7 has TLS 1.2 disabled by default (check the DisabledByDefault value under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client in your registry). To enable the support, please make sure you have an update (*) installed and switch the support on:

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client" /v DisabledByDefault /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f /reg:32
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client" /v DisabledByDefault /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f /reg:64
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client" /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f /reg:32
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client" /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f /reg:64

The (*) update referred to was Microsoft kb3140245: Update for Windows 7 (KB3140245)

I installed the update, rebooted (as requested by the update), added those registry keys, and then Nuget worked fine.

select and echo a single field from mysql db using PHP

Read the manual, it covers it very well: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

Usually you do something like this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  echo $row['firstname'];
  echo $row['lastname'];
  echo $row['address'];
  echo $row['age'];
}

How to click a href link using Selenium

Seems like the a tag is hidden. Remember Selenium is not able to interact with hidden element. Javascript is the only option in that case.

By css = By.cssSelector("a[href='/docs/configuration']");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(css);
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();" , element);

libxml/tree.h no such file or directory

Adding libxml2 in Xcode 4.3 / 5 / 6

Adding libxml2 is a big, fat, finicky pain in the ass. If you're going to do it, do it before you get too far in building your project.


You need to add it in two ways:

1. Target settings

Click on your target (not your project) and select Build Phases.

Click on the reveal triangle titled Link Binary With Libraries. Click on the + to add a library.

Scroll to the bottom of the list and select libxml2.dylib. That adds the libxml2 library to your project.

2. Project settings

Now you have to tell your project where to look for it three more times.

Select the Build Settings tab.

Scroll down to the Linking section. Under your projects columns double click on the Other Linker Flags row. Click the + and add -lxml2 to the list.

Still more.

In the same tab, scroll down to the Search Paths section.

Under your projects column in the Framework Search Paths row add /usr/lib/libxml2.dylib.

In the Header Search Paths and the User Header Search Paths row add $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2.

In those last two cases make sure that path is entered in Debug and Release.

3. Clean

Under the Product Menu select Clean.

Then, if I were you (and lets face it, I probably am) I'd quit Xcode and walk away. When you come back and launch you should be good to go.

Using member variable in lambda capture list inside a member function

Summary of the alternatives:

capture this:

auto lambda = [this](){};

use a local reference to the member:

auto& tmp = grid;
auto lambda = [ tmp](){}; // capture grid by (a single) copy
auto lambda = [&tmp](){}; // capture grid by ref

C++14:

auto lambda = [ grid = grid](){}; // capture grid by copy
auto lambda = [&grid = grid](){}; // capture grid by ref

example: https://godbolt.org/g/dEKVGD

file_get_contents("php://input") or $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, which one is better to get the body of JSON request?

The usual rules should apply for how you send the request. If the request is to retrieve information (e.g. a partial search 'hint' result, or a new page to be displayed, etc...) you can use GET. If the data being sent is part of a request to change something (update a database, delete a record, etc..) then use POST.

Server-side, there's no reason to use the raw input, unless you want to grab the entire post/get data block in a single go. You can retrieve the specific information you want via the _GET/_POST arrays as usual. AJAX libraries such as MooTools/jQuery will handle the hard part of doing the actual AJAX calls and encoding form data into appropriate formats for you.

json_decode to array

I hope this will help you

$json_ps = '{"courseList":[  
            {"course":"1", "course_data1":"Computer Systems(Networks)"},  
            {"course":"2", "course_data2":"Audio and Music Technology"},  
            {"course":"3", "course_data3":"MBA Digital Marketing"}  
        ]}';

Use Json decode function

$json_pss = json_decode($json_ps, true);

Looping over JSON array in php

foreach($json_pss['courseList'] as $pss_json)
{

    echo '<br>' .$course_data1 = $pss_json['course_data1']; exit; 

}

Result: Computer Systems(Networks)

How to convert string to double with proper cultureinfo

I took some help from MSDN, but this is my answer:

double number;
string localStringNumber;
string doubleNumericValueasString = "65.89875";
System.Globalization.NumberStyles style = System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint;

if (double.TryParse(doubleNumericValueasString, style, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out number))
    Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", doubleNumericValueasString, number);
else
    Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert '{0}'.", doubleNumericValueasString);
localStringNumber =number.ToString(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("de-DE"));

Why aren't Xcode breakpoints functioning?

I haven't done Xcode in a bit, but I recommend that you disable "Zerolink" and "Load Symbols Lazily"; that will fix most problems. Zerolink is an abomination anyway.

Convert objective-c typedef to its string equivalent

@pixel added the most brilliant answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24255387/1364257 Please, upvote him!

He uses the neat X macro from the 1960's. (I've changed his code a bit for the modern ObjC)

#define X(a, b, c) a b,
enum ZZObjectType {
    XXOBJECTTYPE_TABLE
};
typedef NSUInteger TPObjectType;
#undef X

#define XXOBJECTTYPE_TABLE \
X(ZZObjectTypeZero, = 0, @"ZZObjectTypeZero") \
X(ZZObjectTypeOne, , @"ZZObjectTypeOne") \
X(ZZObjectTypeTwo, , @"ZZObjectTypeTwo") \
X(ZZObjectTypeThree, , @"ZZObjectTypeThree")

+ (NSString*)nameForObjectType:(ZZObjectType)objectType {
#define X(a, b, c) @(a):c, 
    NSDictionary *dict = @{XXOBJECTTYPE_TABLE};
#undef X
    return dict[objectType];
}

That's it. Clean and neat. Thanks to @pixel! https://stackoverflow.com/users/21804/pixel

Android intent for playing video?

Use setDataAndType on the Intent

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(newVideoPath), "video/mp4");
startActivity(intent);

Use "video/mp4" as MIME or use "video/*" if you don't know the type.

Error Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

I found the problem. Instead of adding a class (.cs) file by mistake I had added a Web API Controller class which added a configuration file in my solution. And that configuration file was looking for the mentioned DLL (Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure 1.0.0.0). It worked when I removed that file, cleaned the application and then published.

Best practice for storing and protecting private API keys in applications

This example has a number of different aspects to it. I will mention a couple of points that I don't think have been explicitly covered elsewhere.

Protecting the secret in transit

The first thing to note is that accessing the dropbox API using their app authentication mechanism requires you to transmit your key and secret. The connection is HTTPS which means that you can't intercept the traffic without knowing the TLS certificate. This is to prevent a person intercepting and reading the packets on their journey from the mobile device to the server. For normal users it is a really good way of ensuring the privacy of their traffic.

What it is not good at, is preventing a malicious person downloading the app and inspecting the traffic. It is really easy to use a man-in-the-middle proxy for all traffic into and out of a mobile device. It would require no disassembly or reverse engineering of code to extract the app key and secret in this case due to the nature of the Dropbox API.

You could do pinning which checks that the TLS certificate you receive from the server is the one you expect. This adds a check to the client and makes it more difficult to intercept the traffic. This would make it harder to inspect the traffic in flight, but the pinning check happens in the client, so it would likely still be possible to disable the pinning test. It does make it harder though.

Protecting the secret at rest

As a first step, using something like proguard will help to make it less obvious where any secrets are held. You could also use the NDK to store the key and secret and send requests directly, which would greatly reduce the number of people with the appropriate skills to extract the information. Further obfuscation can be achieved by not storing the values directly in memory for any length of time, you can encrypt them and decrypt them just before use as suggested by another answer.

More advanced options

If you are now paranoid about putting the secret anywhere in your app, and you have time and money to invest in more comprehensive solutions, then you might consider storing the credentials on your servers (presuming you have any). This would increase the latency of any calls to the API, as it will have to communicate via your server, and might increase the costs of running your service due to increased data throughput.

You then have to decide how best to communicate with your servers to ensure they are protected. This is important to prevent all of the same problems coming up again with your internal API. The best rule of thumb I can give is to not transmit any secret directly because of the man-in-the-middle threat. Instead you can sign the traffic using your secret and verify the integrity of any requests that come to your server. One standard way of doing this is to compute an HMAC of the message keyed on a secret. I work at a company that has a security product that also operates in this field which is why this sort of stuff interests me. In fact, here is a blog article from one of my colleagues that goes over most of this.

How much should I do?

With any security advice like this you need to make a cost/benefit decision about how hard you want to make it for someone to break in. If you are a bank protecting millions of customers your budget is totally different to someone supporting an app in their spare time. It is virtually impossible to prevent someone from breaking your security, but in practice few people need all of the bells and whistles and with some basic precautions you can get a long way.

Force sidebar height 100% using CSS (with a sticky bottom image)?

I was facing the same problem as Jon. TheLibzter put me on the right track, but the image that has to stay at the bottom of the sidebar was not included. So I made some adjustments...

Important:

  • Positioning of the div which contains the sidebar and the content (#bodyLayout). This should be relative.
  • Positioning of the div that has to stay at the bottom of the sidbar (#sidebarBottomDiv). This should be absolute.
  • The width of the content + the width of the sidebar must be equal to the width of the page (#container)

Here's the css:

    #container
    {
        margin: auto;
        width: 940px;
    }
    #bodyLayout
    {
        position: relative;
        width: 100%;
        padding: 0;
    }
    #header
    {
        height: 95px;
        background-color: blue;
        color: white;
    }
    #sidebar
    {
        background-color: yellow;
    }
    #sidebarTopDiv
    {
        float: left;
        width: 245px;
        color: black;
    }
    #sidebarBottomDiv
    {
        position: absolute;
        float: left;
        bottom: 0;
        width: 245px;
        height: 100px;
        background-color: green;
        color: white;
    }
    #content
    {
        float: right;
        min-height: 250px;
        width: 695px;
        background-color: White;
    }
    #footer
    {
        width: 940px;
        height: 75px;
        background-color: red;
        color: white;
    }
    .clear
    {
        clear: both;
    }

And here's the html:

<div id="container">
    <div id="header">
        This is your header!
    </div>
    <div id="bodyLayout">
        <div id="sidebar">
            <div id="sidebarTopDiv">
                This is your sidebar!                   
            </div>
            <div id="content">                  
            This is your content!<br />
            The minimum height of the content is set to 250px so the div at the bottom of
            the sidebar will not overlap the top part of the sidebar.
            </div>
            <div id="sidebarBottomDiv">
                This is the div that will stay at the bottom of your footer!
            </div>
            <div class="clear" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
    This is your footer!
</div>

Could not find a part of the path ... bin\roslyn\csc.exe

Issue

Be aware that the NuGet PM breaks the Rosalyn behavior. Click Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution If an update Exists for Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Microsoft.Net.Compilers, or Microsoft.Net.Compilers.netcore, update them and the Solution will break! This occurs because the ASP Sites templates are set to use specific versions at project creation. To See the problem, click Show All Files in the Solution Explorer.

Fix

At project creation the $(WebProjectOutputDir)\bin doesn't exist, therefore when Rosalyn is added as a dependency by NuGet it installs it properly. After Updating the Solution Packages, the $(WebProjectOutputDir)\bin directory looks like so:

$(WebProjectOutputDir)\bin\bin\rosalyn

The easiest fix is to Cut & Paste rosalyn to the proper location, and then delete the extra bin folder. You can now Refresh the page and the site will load.

Execution order of events when pressing PrimeFaces p:commandButton

It failed because you used ajax="false". This fires a full synchronous request which in turn causes a full page reload, causing the oncomplete to be never fired (note that all other ajax-related attributes like process, onstart, onsuccess, onerror and update are also never fired).

That it worked when you removed actionListener is also impossible. It should have failed the same way. Perhaps you also removed ajax="false" along it without actually understanding what you were doing. Removing ajax="false" should indeed achieve the desired requirement.


Also is it possible to execute actionlistener and oncomplete simultaneously?

No. The script can only be fired before or after the action listener. You can use onclick to fire the script at the moment of the click. You can use onstart to fire the script at the moment the ajax request is about to be sent. But they will never exactly simultaneously be fired. The sequence is as follows:

  • User clicks button in client
  • onclick JavaScript code is executed
  • JavaScript prepares ajax request based on process and current HTML DOM tree
  • onstart JavaScript code is executed
  • JavaScript sends ajax request from client to server
  • JSF retrieves ajax request
  • JSF processes the request lifecycle on JSF component tree based on process
  • actionListener JSF backing bean method is executed
  • action JSF backing bean method is executed
  • JSF prepares ajax response based on update and current JSF component tree
  • JSF sends ajax response from server to client
  • JavaScript retrieves ajax response
    • if HTTP response status is 200, onsuccess JavaScript code is executed
    • else if HTTP response status is 500, onerror JavaScript code is executed
  • JavaScript performs update based on ajax response and current HTML DOM tree
  • oncomplete JavaScript code is executed

Note that the update is performed after actionListener, so if you were using onclick or onstart to show the dialog, then it may still show old content instead of updated content, which is poor for user experience. You'd then better use oncomplete instead to show the dialog. Also note that you'd better use action instead of actionListener when you intend to execute a business action.

JavaScript: changing the value of onclick with or without jQuery

BTW, without JQuery this could also be done, but obviously it's pretty ugly as it only considers IE/non-IE:

if(isie)
   tmpobject.setAttribute('onclick',(new Function(tmp.nextSibling.getAttributeNode('onclick').value)));

Anyway, just so that people have an overall idea of what can be done, as I'm sure many have stumbled upon this annoyance.

When should I use the new keyword in C++?

The second method creates the instance on the stack, along with such things as something declared int and the list of parameters that are passed into the function.

The first method makes room for a pointer on the stack, which you've set to the location in memory where a new MyClass has been allocated on the heap - or free store.

The first method also requires that you delete what you create with new, whereas in the second method, the class is automatically destructed and freed when it falls out of scope (the next closing brace, usually).

Can I exclude some concrete urls from <url-pattern> inside <filter-mapping>?

I also Had to filter based on the URL pattern(/{servicename}/api/stats/)in java code .

if (path.startsWith("/{servicename}/api/statistics/")) {
validatingAuthToken(((HttpServletRequest) request).getHeader("auth_token"));
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);            
}

But its bizarre, that servlet doesn't support url pattern other than (/*), This should be a very common case for servlet API's !

Can't get Python to import from a different folder

After going through the answers given by these contributors above - Zorglub29, Tom, Mark, Aaron McMillin, lucasamaral, JoeyZhao, Kjeld Flarup, Procyclinsur, martin.zaenker, tooty44 and debugging the issue that I was facing I found out a different use case due to which I was facing this issue. Hence adding my observations below for anybody's reference.

In my code I had a cyclic import of classes. For example:

src
 |-- utilities.py (has Utilities class that uses Event class)  
 |-- consume_utilities.py (has Event class that uses Utilities class)
 |-- tests
      |-- test_consume_utilities.py (executes test cases that involves Event class)

I got following error when I tried to execute python -m pytest tests/test_utilities.py for executing UTs written in test_utilities.py.

ImportError while importing test module '/Users/.../src/tests/test_utilities.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
Traceback:
tests/test_utilities.py:1: in <module>
    from utilities import Utilities
...
...
E   ImportError: cannot import name 'Utilities'

The way I resolved the error was by re-factoring my code to move the functionality in cyclic import class so that I could remove the cyclic import of classes.

Note, I have __init__.py file in my 'src' folder as well as 'tests' folder and still was able to get rid of the 'ImportError' just by re-factoring the code.

c++ "Incomplete type not allowed" error accessing class reference information (Circular dependency with forward declaration)

If you will place your definitions in this order then the code will be compiled

class Ball;

class Player {
public:
    void doSomething(Ball& ball);
private:
};

class Ball {
public:
    Player& PlayerB;
    float ballPosX = 800;
private:

};

void Player::doSomething(Ball& ball) {
    ball.ballPosX += 10;                   // incomplete type error occurs here.
}

int main()
{
}

The definition of function doSomething requires the complete definition of class Ball because it access its data member.

In your code example module Player.cpp has no access to the definition of class Ball so the compiler issues an error.

What is the best way to add a value to an array in state

Both of the options you provided are the same. Both of them will still point to the same object in memory and have the same array values. You should treat the state object as immutable as you said, however you need to re-create the array so its pointing to a new object, set the new item, then reset the state. Example:

onChange(event){
    var newArray = this.state.arr.slice();    
    newArray.push("new value");   
    this.setState({arr:newArray})
}

How to create many labels and textboxes dynamically depending on the value of an integer variable?

You can try this:

     this.Controls.Add(txt);
     txt.Top = cleft * 40;
     txt.Size = new Size(200, 16);
     txt.Left = 150;
     cleft = cleft + 1;
     Label lbl = new Label();
     this.Controls.Add(lbl);
     lbl.Top = aleft * 40;
     lbl.Size = new Size(100, 16);
     lbl.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
     lbl.Text = "BoxNo/CardNo";
     lbl.Left = 70;
     aleft = aleft + 1;
     return;
}
private void btd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ 
    //Here you Delete Text Box One By One(int ix for Text Box)
    for (int ix = this.Controls.Count - 2; ix >= 0; ix--)
    //Here you Delete Lable One By One(int ix for Lable)
    for (int x = this.Controls.Count - 2; x >= 0; x--)
    {
        if (this.Controls[ix] is TextBox) 
        this.Controls[ix].Dispose();
        if (this.Controls[x] is Label)

How to validate white spaces/empty spaces? [Angular 2]

You can create a custom validator to handle this.

new FormControl(field.fieldValue || '', [Validators.required, this.noWhitespaceValidator])

Add noWhitespaceValidator method to your component

public noWhitespaceValidator(control: FormControl) {
    const isWhitespace = (control.value || '').trim().length === 0;
    const isValid = !isWhitespace;
    return isValid ? null : { 'whitespace': true };
}

and in the HTML

<div *ngIf="yourForm.hasError('whitespace')">Please enter valid data</div>

AngularJS : How to watch service variables?

As far as I can tell, you dont have to do something as elaborate as that. You have already assigned foo from the service to your scope and since foo is an array ( and in turn an object it is assigned by reference! ). So, all that you need to do is something like this :

function FooCtrl($scope, aService) {                                                                                                                              
  $scope.foo = aService.foo;

 }

If some, other variable in this same Ctrl is dependant on foo changing then yes, you would need a watch to observe foo and make changes to that variable. But as long as it is a simple reference watching is unnecessary. Hope this helps.

Python Requests library redirect new url

the documentation has this blurb https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/quickstart/#redirection-and-history

How to join components of a path when you are constructing a URL in Python

The basejoin function in the urllib package might be what you're looking for.

basejoin = urljoin(base, url, allow_fragments=True)
    Join a base URL and a possibly relative URL to form an absolute
    interpretation of the latter.

Edit: I didn't notice before, but urllib.basejoin seems to map directly to urlparse.urljoin, making the latter preferred.

How to send email from localhost WAMP Server to send email Gmail Hotmail or so forth?

Configuring a working email client from localhost is quite a chore, I have spent hours of frustration attempting it. At last I have found this way to send mails (using WAMP, XAMPP, etc.):

Install hMailServer

Configure this hMailServer setting:

  1. Open hMailServer Administrator.
  2. Click the "Add domain ..." button to create a new domain.
  3. Under the domain text field, enter your computer's localhost IP.
    • Example: 127.0.0.1 is your localhost IP.
  4. Click the "Save" button.
  5. Now go to Settings > Protocols > SMTP and select the "Delivery of Email" tab.
  6. Find the localhost field enter "localhost".
  7. Click the Save button.

Configure your Gmail account, perform following modification:

  1. Go to Settings > Protocols > SMTP and select "Delivery of Email" tab.
  2. Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the Remote Host name field.
  3. Enter "465" as the port number.
  4. Check "Server requires authentication".
  5. Enter your Google Mail address in the Username field.
  6. Enter your Google Mail password in the password field.
  7. Check mark "Use SSL"
  8. Save all changes.

Optional

If you want to send email from another computer you need to allow deliveries from External to External accounts by following steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Advanced > IP Ranges and double click on "My Computer" which should have IP address of 127.0.0.1
  2. Check the Allow Deliveries from External to External accounts Checkbox.
  3. Save settings using Save button.

How to add data to DataGridView

LINQ is a "query" language (thats the Q), so modifying data is outside its scope.

That said, your DataGridView is presumably bound to an ItemsSource, perhaps of type ObservableCollection<T> or similar. In that case, just do something like X.ToList().ForEach(yourGridSource.Add) (this might have to be adapted based on the type of source in your grid).

Need to find element in selenium by css

By.cssSelector(".ban") or By.cssSelector(".hot") or By.cssSelector(".ban.hot") should all select it unless there is another element that has those classes.

In CSS, .name means find an element that has a class with name. .foo.bar.baz means to find an element that has all of those classes (in the same element).

However, each of those selectors will select only the first element that matches it on the page. If you need something more specific, please post the HTML of the other elements that have those classes.

How to calculate the CPU usage of a process by PID in Linux from C?

When you want monitor specified process, usually it is done by scripting. Here is perl example. This put percents as the same way as top, scalling it to one CPU. Then when some process is active working with 2 threads, cpu usage can be more than 100%. Specially look how cpu cores are counted :D then let me show my example:

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $pid=1234; #insert here monitored process PID

#returns current process time counters or single undef if unavailable
#returns:  1. process counter  , 2. system counter , 3. total system cpu cores
sub GetCurrentLoads {
    my $pid=shift;
    my $fh;
    my $line;
    open $fh,'<',"/proc/$pid/stat" or return undef;
    $line=<$fh>;
    close $fh;
    return undef unless $line=~/^\d+ \([^)]+\) \S \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ -?\d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ (\d+) (\d+)/;
    my $TimeApp=$1+$2;
    my $TimeSystem=0;
    my $CpuCount=0;
    open $fh,'<',"/proc/stat" or return undef;
    while (defined($line=<$fh>)) {
        if ($line=~/^cpu\s/) {
            foreach my $nr ($line=~/\d+/g) { $TimeSystem+=$nr; };
            next;
        };
        $CpuCount++ if $line=~/^cpu\d/;
    }
    close $fh;
    return undef if $TimeSystem==0;
    return $TimeApp,$TimeSystem,$CpuCount;
}

my ($currApp,$currSys,$lastApp,$lastSys,$cores);
while () {
    ($currApp,$currSys,$cores)=GetCurrentLoads($pid);
    printf "Load is: %5.1f\%\n",($currApp-$lastApp)/($currSys-$lastSys)*$cores*100 if defined $currApp and defined $lastApp and defined $currSys and defined $lastSys;
    ($lastApp,$lastSys)=($currApp,$currSys);
    sleep 1;
}

I hope it will help you in any monitoring. Of course you should use scanf or other C functions for converting any perl regexpes I've used to C source. Of course 1 second for sleeping is not mandatory. you can use any time. effect is, you will get averrage load on specfied time period. When you will use it for monitoring, of course last values you should put outside. It is needed, because monitoring usually calls scripts periodically, and script should finish his work asap.

    .Where(o => 
        o.INDIVIDUALLICENSE.GLOBALENTITYID == "ABC" &&
        o.INDIVIDUALLICENSE.LICENSE_TYPE == "ABC")
    .Select(t => new
        {
            value = t.PSP_INDLICENSECLAsse.ID,
            name = t.PSP_INDIVIDUALLICENSE.LICENSE_CLASS,                
        })
    .OrderBy(x => x.name);

    } 
   
    foreach(getItems($id) as $item){
         $allItems = array_merge($allItems, getItems($item->id) );
    }

    return $allItems;
}

Register .NET Framework 4.5 in IIS 7.5

Hosting asp.net 4.5/4.5.1 Web application on Local IIS 1)Be Sure IIS Installation before Visual Installation Installataion then aspnet_regiis will already registerd with IIS

If Not Install IIS and then Register aspnet_regiis with IIS by cmd Editor

For VS2012 and 32 bit OS Run Below code on command editor :

1)Install IIS First & then

2)

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319   

  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319> aspnet_regiis -i

For VS2012 and 64 bit OS Below code on command editor:

1)Install IIS First & then

2)

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319    
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319> aspnet_regiis -i

BY Following Above Steps Current Version of VS2012 registered with IIS Hosting (VS2012 Web APP)

Create VS2012 Web Application(WebForm/MVC) then Build Application Right Click On WebApplication(WebForm/MVC) go to 'Properties' Click On 'Web' Tab on then 'Use Local IIS Web Server' Then Uncheck 'Use IIS Express' (If Visul Studio 2013 Select 'Local IIS' from Dropdown) Provide Project Url like "http://localhost/MvcDemoApp" Then Click On 'Create Virtual Directory' Button Then Open IIS by Prssing 'Window + R' Run Command and type 'inetmgr' and 'Enter' (or 'OK' Button) Then Expand 'Sites->Default Web Site' you Hosted Successfully.

And Run Application

If still problem occurs Check application pool by : In iis Right click on application->Manage Application->Advanced setting->General. you see the application pool. then close advance setting window. click on 'Application Pools' you will see the all application pools in middle window. Right click on application pool in which application hosted(DefaultAppPool). click 'Basic Setting' -> Change .Net FrameWork Version to->.Net FrameWork v4.0.30349

Angularjs loading screen on ajax request

I use ngProgress for this.

Add 'ngProgress' to your dependencies once you've included the script/css files in your HTML. Once you do that you can set up something like this, which will trigger when a route change was detected.

angular.module('app').run(function($rootScope, ngProgress) {
  $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(ev,data) {
    ngProgress.start();
  });
  $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', function(ev,data) {
    ngProgress.complete();
  });
});

For AJAX requests you can do something like this:

$scope.getLatest = function () {
    ngProgress.start();

    $http.get('/latest-goodies')
         .success(function(data,status) {
             $scope.latest = data;
             ngProgress.complete();
         })
         .error(function(data,status) {
             ngProgress.complete();
         });
};

Just remember to add 'ngProgress' to the controllers dependencies before doing so. And if you are doing multiple AJAX requests use an incremental variable in the main app scope to keep track when your AJAX requests have finished before calling 'ngProgress.complete();'.

PHP cURL GET request and request's body

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS as the name suggests, is for the body (payload) of a POST request. For GET requests, the payload is part of the URL in the form of a query string.

In your case, you need to construct the URL with the arguments you need to send (if any), and remove the other options to cURL.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->service_url.'user/'.$id_user);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

//$body = '{}';
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET"); 
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$body);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

Using setImageDrawable dynamically to set image in an ImageView

This works, at least in Android API 15

ImageView = imgv;
Resources res = getResources(); // need this to fetch the drawable
Drawable draw = res.getDrawable( R.drawable.image_name_in_drawable );
imgv.setImageDrawable(draw);

You could use setImageResource(), but the documentation specifies that "does Bitmap reading and decoding on the UI thread, which can cause a latency hiccup ... consider using setImageDrawable() or setImageBitmap()." as stated by chetto

How can I add new keys to a dictionary?

"Is it possible to add a key to a Python dictionary after it has been created? It doesn't seem to have an .add() method."

Yes it is possible, and it does have a method that implements this, but you don't want to use it directly.

To demonstrate how and how not to use it, let's create an empty dict with the dict literal, {}:

my_dict = {}

Best Practice 1: Subscript notation

To update this dict with a single new key and value, you can use the subscript notation (see Mappings here) that provides for item assignment:

my_dict['new key'] = 'new value'

my_dict is now:

{'new key': 'new value'}

Best Practice 2: The update method - 2 ways

We can also update the dict with multiple values efficiently as well using the update method. We may be unnecessarily creating an extra dict here, so we hope our dict has already been created and came from or was used for another purpose:

my_dict.update({'key 2': 'value 2', 'key 3': 'value 3'})

my_dict is now:

{'key 2': 'value 2', 'key 3': 'value 3', 'new key': 'new value'}

Another efficient way of doing this with the update method is with keyword arguments, but since they have to be legitimate python words, you can't have spaces or special symbols or start the name with a number, but many consider this a more readable way to create keys for a dict, and here we certainly avoid creating an extra unnecessary dict:

my_dict.update(foo='bar', foo2='baz')

and my_dict is now:

{'key 2': 'value 2', 'key 3': 'value 3', 'new key': 'new value', 
 'foo': 'bar', 'foo2': 'baz'}

So now we have covered three Pythonic ways of updating a dict.


Magic method, __setitem__, and why it should be avoided

There's another way of updating a dict that you shouldn't use, which uses the __setitem__ method. Here's an example of how one might use the __setitem__ method to add a key-value pair to a dict, and a demonstration of the poor performance of using it:

>>> d = {}
>>> d.__setitem__('foo', 'bar')
>>> d
{'foo': 'bar'}


>>> def f():
...     d = {}
...     for i in xrange(100):
...         d['foo'] = i
... 
>>> def g():
...     d = {}
...     for i in xrange(100):
...         d.__setitem__('foo', i)
... 
>>> import timeit
>>> number = 100
>>> min(timeit.repeat(f, number=number))
0.0020880699157714844
>>> min(timeit.repeat(g, number=number))
0.005071878433227539

So we see that using the subscript notation is actually much faster than using __setitem__. Doing the Pythonic thing, that is, using the language in the way it was intended to be used, usually is both more readable and computationally efficient.

Listing contents of a bucket with boto3

In order to handle large key listings (i.e. when the directory list is greater than 1000 items), I used the following code to accumulate key values (i.e. filenames) with multiple listings (thanks to Amelio above for the first lines). Code is for python3:

    from boto3  import client
    bucket_name = "my_bucket"
    prefix      = "my_key/sub_key/lots_o_files"

    s3_conn   = client('s3')  # type: BaseClient  ## again assumes boto.cfg setup, assume AWS S3
    s3_result =  s3_conn.list_objects_v2(Bucket=bucket_name, Prefix=prefix, Delimiter = "/")

Fixing slow initial load for IIS

Options A, B and D seem to be in the same category since they only influence the initial start time, they do warmup of the website like compilation and loading of libraries in memory.

Using C, setting the idle timeout, should be enough so that subsequent requests to the server are served fast (restarting the app pool takes quite some time - in the order of seconds).

As far as I know, the timeout exists to save memory that other websites running in parallel on that machine might need. The price being that one time slow load time.

Besides the fact that the app pool gets shutdown in case of user inactivity, the app pool will also recycle by default every 1740 minutes (29 hours).

From technet:

Internet Information Services (IIS) application pools can be periodically recycled to avoid unstable states that can lead to application crashes, hangs, or memory leaks.

As long as app pool recycling is left on, it should be enough. But if you really want top notch performance for most components, you should also use something like the Application Initialization Module you mentioned.

How to access at request attributes in JSP?

Using JSTL:

<c:set var="message" value='${requestScope["Error_Message"]}' />

Here var sets the variable name and request.getAttribute is equal to requestScope. But it's not essential. ${Error_Message} will give you the same outcome. It'll search every scope. If you want to do some operation with content you take from Error_Message you have to do it using message. like below one.

<c:out value="${message}"/>

Effectively use async/await with ASP.NET Web API

It is correct, but perhaps not useful.

As there is nothing to wait on – no calls to blocking APIs which could operate asynchronously – then you are setting up structures to track asynchronous operation (which has overhead) but then not making use of that capability.

For example, if the service layer was performing DB operations with Entity Framework which supports asynchronous calls:

public Task<BackOfficeResponse<List<Country>>> ReturnAllCountries()
{
    using (db = myDBContext.Get()) {
      var list = await db.Countries.Where(condition).ToListAsync();

       return list;
    }
}

You would allow the worker thread to do something else while the db was queried (and thus able to process another request).

Await tends to be something that needs to go all the way down: it is very hard to retro-fit into an existing system.

Split string in C every white space

For the fun of it here's an implementation based on the callback approach:

const char* find(const char* s,
                 const char* e,
                 int (*pred)(char))
{
    while( s != e && !pred(*s) ) ++s;
    return s;
}

void split_on_ws(const char* s,
                 const char* e,
                 void (*callback)(const char*, const char*))
{
    const char* p = s;
    while( s != e ) {
        s = find(s, e, isspace);
        callback(p, s);
        p = s = find(s, e, isnotspace);
    }
}

void handle_word(const char* s, const char* e)
{
    // handle the word that starts at s and ends at e
}

int main()
{
    split_on_ws(some_str, some_str + strlen(some_str), handle_word);
}

get dictionary value by key

static void XML_Array(Dictionary<string, string> Data_Array)
{
    String value;
    if(Data_Array.TryGetValue("XML_File", out value))
    {
     ... Do something here with value ...
    }
}

Fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional values

Nil Coalescing Operator can be used as well.

Jenkins/Hudson - accessing the current build number?

I've just come across this question too and found out that if anytime the build number gets corrupt because of any error-triggered hard shutdown of the jenkins instance you can set back the build number manually by just editing the file nextBuildNumber (pathToJenkins\jobs\jobxyz\nextBuildNumber) and then make a reload by using the option
Reload Configuration from Disk from the Manage Jenkins View.

How to create an array of 20 random bytes?

Java 7 introduced ThreadLocalRandom which is isolated to the current thread.

This is an another rendition of maerics's solution.

final byte[] bytes = new byte[20];
ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextBytes(bytes);

Bootstrap 3 only for mobile

If you're looking to make the elements be 33.3% only on small devices and lower:

This is backwards from what Bootstrap is designed for, but you can do this:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-4 col-md-12">.col-xs-4 .col-md-12</div>
    <div class="col-xs-4 col-md-12">.col-xs-4 .col-md-12</div>
    <div class="col-xs-4 col-md-12">.col-xs-4 .col-md-12</div>
</div>

This will make each element 33.3% wide on small and extra small devices but 100% wide on medium and larger devices.

JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jdwire/sggt8/embedded/result/

If you're only looking to hide elements for smaller devices:

I think you're looking for the visible-xs and/or visible-sm classes. These will let you make certain elements only visible to small screen devices.

For example, if you want a element to only be visible to small and extra-small devices, do this:

<div class="visible-xs visible-sm">You're using a fairly small device.</div>

To show it only for larger screens, use this:

<div class="hidden-xs hidden-sm">You're probably not using a phone.</div>

See http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities-classes for more information.

Converting java.util.Properties to HashMap<String,String>

The Java 8 way:

properties.entrySet().stream().collect(
    Collectors.toMap(
         e -> e.getKey().toString(),
         e -> e.getValue().toString()
    )
);

How to SSH into Docker?

Create docker image with openssh-server preinstalled:

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openssh-server
RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd
RUN echo 'root:screencast' | chpasswd
RUN sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# SSH login fix. Otherwise user is kicked off after login
RUN sed 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' -i /etc/pam.d/sshd

ENV NOTVISIBLE "in users profile"
RUN echo "export VISIBLE=now" >> /etc/profile

EXPOSE 22
CMD ["/usr/sbin/sshd", "-D"]

Build the image using:

$ docker build -t eg_sshd .

Run a test_sshd container:

$ docker run -d -P --name test_sshd eg_sshd
$ docker port test_sshd 22

0.0.0.0:49154

Ssh to your container:

$ ssh [email protected] -p 49154
# The password is ``screencast``.
root@f38c87f2a42d:/#

Fastest way to remove first char in a String

You could profile it, if you really cared. Write a loop of many iterations and see what happens. Chances are, however, that this is not the bottleneck in your application, and TrimStart seems the most semantically correct. Strive to write code readably before optimizing.

Replacing Spaces with Underscores

Use str_replace:

str_replace(" ","_","Alex Newton");

What's the fastest way to read a text file line-by-line?

There's a good topic about this in Stack Overflow question Is 'yield return' slower than "old school" return?.

It says:

ReadAllLines loads all of the lines into memory and returns a string[]. All well and good if the file is small. If the file is larger than will fit in memory, you'll run out of memory.

ReadLines, on the other hand, uses yield return to return one line at a time. With it, you can read any size file. It doesn't load the whole file into memory.

Say you wanted to find the first line that contains the word "foo", and then exit. Using ReadAllLines, you'd have to read the entire file into memory, even if "foo" occurs on the first line. With ReadLines, you only read one line. Which one would be faster?

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

  1. I had the same problem when I started to used babel... But later, I had a solution... I haven't had the problem anymore so far... Currently, Node v12.14.1, "@babel/node": "^7.8.4", I use babel-node and nodemon to execute (node is fine as well..)
  2. package.json: "start": "nodemon --exec babel-node server.js "debug": "babel-node debug server.js" !!note: server.js is my entry file, you can use yours.
  3. launch.json When you debug, you also need to config your launch.json file "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/babel-node" !!note: plus runtimeExecutable into the configuration.
  4. Of course, with babel-node, you also normally need and edit another file, such as babel.config.js/.babelrc file

Passing a variable from one php include file to another: global vs. not

Here is a pitfall to avoid. In case you need to access your variable $name within a function, you need to say "global $name;" at the beginning of that function. You need to repeat this for each function in the same file.

include('front.inc');
global $name;

function foo() {
  echo $name;
}

function bar() {
  echo $name;
}

foo();
bar();

will only show errors. The correct way to do that would be:

include('front.inc');

function foo() {
  global $name;
  echo $name;
}

function bar() {
  global $name;
  echo $name;
}

foo();
bar();

Changing Tint / Background color of UITabBar

Swift 3.0 answer: (from Vaibhav Gaikwad)

For changing color of unselect icons of tabbar:

if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        UITabBar.appearance().unselectedItemTintColor = UIColor.white
    } else {
        // Fallback on earlier versions
        for item in self.tabBar.items! {
            item.image = item.image?.withRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.alwaysOriginal)
        }
}

For changing text color only:

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white], for: .normal)

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red, for: .selected)

Not unique table/alias

Your query contains columns which could be present with the same name in more than one table you are referencing, hence the not unique error. It's best if you make the references explicit and/or use table aliases when joining.

Try

    SELECT pa.ProjectID, p.Project_Title, a.Account_ID, a.Username, a.Access_Type, c.First_Name, c.Last_Name
      FROM Project_Assigned pa
INNER JOIN Account a
        ON pa.AccountID = a.Account_ID
INNER JOIN Project p
        ON pa.ProjectID = p.Project_ID
INNER JOIN Clients c
        ON a.Account_ID = c.Account_ID
     WHERE a.Access_Type = 'Client';

Disable / Check for Mock Location (prevent gps spoofing)

Stumbled upon this thread a couple years later. In 2016, most Android devices will have API level >= 18 and should thus rely on Location.isFromMockProvider() as pointed out by Fernando.

I extensively experimented with fake/mock locations on different Android devices and distros. Unfortunately .isFromMockProvider() is not 100% reliable. Every once in a while, a fake location will not be labeled as mock. This seems to be due to some erroneous internal fusion logic in the Google Location API.

I wrote a detailed blog post about this, if you want to learn more. To summarize, if you subscribe to location updates from the Location API, then switch on a fake GPS app and print the result of each Location.toString() to the console, you will see something like this:

enter image description here

Notice how, in the stream of location updates, one location has the same coordinates as the others, but is not flagged as a mock and has a much poorer location accuracy.

To remedy this problem, I wrote a utility class that will reliably suppress Mock locations across all modern Android versions (API level 15 and up):

LocationAssistant - Hassle-free location updates on Android

Basically, it "distrusts" non-mock locations that are within 1km of the last known mock location and also labels them as a mock. It does this until a significant number of non-mock locations have arrived. The LocationAssistant can not only reject mock locations, but also unburdens you from most of the hassle of setting up and subscribing to location updates.

To receive only real location updates (i.e. suppress mocks), use it as follows:

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements LocationAssistant.Listener {

    private LocationAssistant assistant;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ...
        // You can specify a different accuracy and interval here.
        // The last parameter (allowMockLocations) must be 'false' to suppress mock locations.  
        assistant = new LocationAssistant(this, this, LocationAssistant.Accuracy.HIGH, 5000, false);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        assistant.start();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        assistant.stop();
        super.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    public void onNewLocationAvailable(Location location) {
        // No mock locations arriving here
    }

    ...
}

onNewLocationAvailable() will now only be invoked with real location info. There are some more listener methods you need to implement, but in the context of your question (how to prevent GPS spoofing) this is basically it.

Of course, with a rooted OS you can still find ways of spoofing location info that are impossible for normal apps to detect.
