Programs & Examples On #Daap

The Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) is the proprietary protocol introduced by Apple in its iTunes software to share media across a local network. DAAP addresses the same problems for Apple as the UPnP AV standards address for members of the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA).

SVN "Already Locked Error"

I am not using AnkhSVN but got a similar problem after cancelling a Tortoise SVN update. It left two directories "already locked". Similar to Roman C's solution. Use Get lock to to lock one file in each directory that is "already locked" and then release those locks, then do a cleanup on the highest directory. That seemed to fix the problem.

Query to convert from datetime to date mysql

syntax of date_format:

SELECT date_format(date_born, '%m/%d/%Y' ) as my_date FROM date_tbl

    '%W %D %M %Y %T'    -> Wednesday 5th May 2004 23:56:25
    '%a %b %e %Y %H:%i' -> Wed May 5 2004 23:56
    '%m/%d/%Y %T'       -> 05/05/2004 23:56:25
    '%d/%m/%Y'          -> 05/05/2004
    '%m-%d-%y'          -> 04-08-13

Converting String To Float in C#

Your thread's locale is set to one in which the decimal mark is "," instead of ".".

Try using this:

float.Parse("41.00027357629127", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat);

Note, however, that a float cannot hold that many digits of precision. You would have to use double or Decimal to do so.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Apache\htdocs\test.php on line 2

I had the similar issue. I solved it the following way after a number of attempts to follow the pieces of advice in the forums. I am reposting the solution because it could be helpful for others.

I am running Windows 7 (Apache 2.2 & PHP 5.2.17 & MySQL 5.0.51a), the syntax in the file "httpd.conf" (C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf) was sensitive to slashes. You can check if "php.ini" is read from the right directory. Just type in your browser "localhost/index.php". The code of index.php is the following:

<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>

There is the row (not far from the top) called "Loaded Configuration File". So, if there is nothing added, then the problem could be that your "php.ini" is not read, even you uncommented (extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mysqli.dll). So, in order to make it work I did the following step. I needed to change from

PHPIniDir 'c:\PHP\'

to

PHPIniDir 'c:\PHP'

Pay the attention that the last slash disturbed everything!

Now the row "Loaded Configuration File" gets "C:\PHP\php.ini" after refreshing "localhost/index.php" (before I restarted Apache2.2) as well as mysql block is there. MySQL and PHP are working together!

Python lookup hostname from IP with 1 second timeout

What you're trying to accomplish is called Reverse DNS lookup.

socket.gethostbyaddr("IP") 
# => (hostname, alias-list, IP)

http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html?highlight=gethostbyaddr#socket.gethostbyaddr

However, for the timeout part I have read about people running into problems with this. I would check out PyDNS or this solution for more advanced treatment.

Create Local SQL Server database

You need to install a so-called Instance of MSSQL server on your computer. That is, installing all the needed files and services and database files. By default, there should be no MSSQL Server installed on your machine, assuming that you use a desktop Windows (7,8,10...).

You can start off with Microsoft SQL Server Express, which is a 10GB-limited, free version of MSSQL. It also lacks some other features (Server Agents, AFAIR), but it's good for some experiments.

Download it from the Microsoft Website and go through the installer process by choosing New SQL Server stand-alone installation .. after running the installer.

Click through the steps. For your scenario (it sounds like you mainly want to test some stuff), the default options should suffice.

Just give attention to the step Instance Configuration. There you will set the name of your MSSQL Server Instance. Call it something unique/descriptive like MY_TEST_INSTANCE or the like. Also, choose wisely the Instance root directory. In it, the database files will be placed, so it should be on a drive that has enough space.

Click further through the wizard, and when it's finished, your MSSQL instance will be up and running. It will also run at every boot if you have chosen the default settings for the services.

As soon as it's running in the background, you can connect to it with Management Studio by connecting to .\MY_TEST_INSTANCE, given that that's the name you chose for the instance.

AngularJS ng-if with multiple conditions

OR operator:

<div ng-repeat="k in items">
    <div ng-if="k || 'a' or k == 'b'">
        <!-- SOME CONTENT -->
    </div>
</div>

Even though it is simple enough to read, I hope as a developer you are use better names than 'a' 'k' 'b' etc..

For Example:

<div class="links-group" ng-repeat="group in groups" ng-show="!group.hidden">
    <li ng-if="user.groups.admin || group.title == 'Home Pages'"> 
        <!--Content-->
    </li>
</div>

Another OR example

<p ng-if="group.title != 'Dispatcher News' or group.title != 'Coordinator News'" style="padding: 5px;">No links in group.</p>

AND operator (For those stumbling across this stackoverflow answer looking for an AND instead of OR condition)

<div class="links-group" ng-repeat="group in groups" ng-show="!group.hidden">
    <li ng-if="user.groups.admin && group.title == 'Home Pages'"> 
        <!--Content-->
    </li>
</div>

Remove empty strings from a list of strings

Keep in mind that if you want to keep the white spaces within a string, you may remove them unintentionally using some approaches. If you have this list

['hello world', ' ', '', 'hello'] what you may want ['hello world','hello']

first trim the list to convert any type of white space to empty string:

space_to_empty = [x.strip() for x in _text_list]

then remove empty string from them list

space_clean_list = [x for x in space_to_empty if x]

Run two async tasks in parallel and collect results in .NET 4.5

You should use Task.Delay instead of Sleep for async programming and then use Task.WhenAll to combine the task results. The tasks would run in parallel.

public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Go();
        }
        public static void Go()
        {
            GoAsync();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        public static async void GoAsync()
        {

            Console.WriteLine("Starting");

            var task1 = Sleep(5000);
            var task2 = Sleep(3000);

            int[] result = await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2);

            Console.WriteLine("Slept for a total of " + result.Sum() + " ms");

        }

        private async static Task<int> Sleep(int ms)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Sleeping for {0} at {1}", ms, Environment.TickCount);
            await Task.Delay(ms);
            Console.WriteLine("Sleeping for {0} finished at {1}", ms, Environment.TickCount);
            return ms;
        }
    }

When should I use semicolons in SQL Server?

If you like getting random Command Timeout errors in SQLServer then leave off the semi-colon at the end of your CommandText strings.

I don't know if this is documented anywhere or if it is a bug, but it does happen and I have learnt this from bitter experience.

I have verifiable and reproducible examples using SQLServer 2008.

aka -> In practice, always include the terminator even if you're just sending one statement to the database.

How to convert data.frame column from Factor to numeric

This is FAQ 7.10. Others have shown how to apply this to a single column in a data frame, or to multiple columns in a data frame. But this is really treating the symptom, not curing the cause.

A better approach is to use the colClasses argument to read.table and related functions to tell R that the column should be numeric so that it never creates a factor and creates numeric. This will put in NA for any values that do not convert to numeric.

Another better option is to figure out why R does not recognize the column as numeric (usually a non numeric character somewhere in that column) and fix the original data so that it is read in properly without needing to create NAs.

Best is a combination of the last 2, make sure the data is correct before reading it in and specify colClasses so R does not need to guess (this can speed up reading as well).

How to for each the hashmap?

Streams Java 8

Along with forEach method that accepts a lambda expression we have also got stream APIs, in Java 8.

Iterate over entries (Using forEach and Streams):

sample.forEach((k,v) -> System.out.println(k + "=" + v)); 
sample.entrySet().stream().forEachOrdered((entry) -> {
            Object currentKey = entry.getKey();
            Object currentValue = entry.getValue();
            System.out.println(currentKey + "=" + currentValue);
        });
sample.entrySet().parallelStream().forEach((entry) -> {
            Object currentKey = entry.getKey();
            Object currentValue = entry.getValue();
            System.out.println(currentKey + "=" + currentValue);
        });

The advantage with streams is they can be parallelized easily and can be useful when we have multiple CPUs at disposal. We simply need to use parallelStream() in place of stream() above. With parallel streams it makes more sense to use forEach as forEachOrdered would make no difference in performance. If we want to iterate over keys we can use sample.keySet() and for values sample.values().

Why forEachOrdered and not forEach with streams ?

Streams also provide forEach method but the behaviour of forEach is explicitly nondeterministic where as the forEachOrdered performs an action for each element of this stream, in the encounter order of the stream if the stream has a defined encounter order. So forEach does not guarantee that the order would be kept. Also check this for more.

How to change port number for apache in WAMP

You could try changing Apache server to listen to some other port other than port 80.

Click on yellow WAMP icon in your taskbar Choose Apache -> httpd.conf Inside find these two lines of code:

Listen 80 ServerName localhost:80 and change them to something like this (they are not one next to the other):

Listen 8080 ServerName localhost:8080

Iterate all files in a directory using a 'for' loop

I would use vbscript (Windows Scripting Host), because in batch I'm sure you cannot tell that a name is a file or a directory.

In vbs, it can be something like this:

Dim fileSystemObject
Set fileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim mainFolder
Set mainFolder = fileSystemObject.GetFolder(myFolder)

Dim files
Set files = mainFolder.Files

For Each file in files
...
Next

Dim subFolders
Set subFolders = mainFolder.SubFolders

For Each folder in subFolders
...
Next

Check FileSystemObject on MSDN.

@Value annotation type casting to Integer from String

If you want to convert a property to an integer from properties file there are 2 solutions which I found:

Given scenario: customer.properties contains customer.id = 100 as a field and you want to access it in spring configuration file as integer.The property customerId is declared as type int in the Bean Customer

Solution 1:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<property name="customerId" value="#{T(java.lang.Integer).parseInt('${customer.id}')}" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In the above line, the string value from properties file is converted to int type.

solution 2: Use some other extension inplace of propeties.For Ex.- If your properties file name is customer.properties then make it customer.details and in the configuration file use the below code

_x000D_
_x000D_
<property name="customerId"   value="${customer.id}" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

MAX() and MAX() OVER PARTITION BY produces error 3504 in Teradata Query

I know this is a very old question, but I've been asked by someone else something similar.

I don't have TeraData, but can't you do the following?

SELECT employee_number,
       course_code,
       MAX(course_completion_date)                                     AS max_course_date,
       MAX(course_completion_date) OVER (PARTITION BY employee_number) AS max_date
FROM employee_course_completion
WHERE course_code IN ('M910303', 'M91301R', 'M91301P')
GROUP BY employee_number, course_code

The GROUP BY now ensures one row per course per employee. This means that you just need a straight MAX() to get the max_course_date.

Before your GROUP BY was just giving one row per employee, and the MAX() OVER() was trying to give multiple results for that one row (one per course).

Instead, you now need the OVER() clause to get the MAX() for the employee as a whole. This is now legitimate because each individual row gets just one answer (as it is derived from a super-set, not a sub-set). Also, for the same reason, the OVER() clause now refers to a valid scalar value, as defined by the GROUP BY clause; employee_number.


Perhaps a short way of saying this would be that an aggregate with an OVER() clause must be a super-set of the GROUP BY, not a sub-set.

Create your query with a GROUP BY at the level that represents the rows you want, then specify OVER() clauses if you want to aggregate at a higher level.

How to hide "Showing 1 of N Entries" with the dataTables.js library

It is Work for me:

language:{"infoEmpty": "No records available",}

invalid use of incomplete type

The reason is that when instantiating a class template, all its declarations (not the definitions) of its member functions are instantiated too. The class template is instantiated precisely when the full definition of a specialization is required. That is the case when it is used as a base class for example, as in your case.

So what happens is that A<B> is instantiated at

class B : public A<B>

at which point B is not a complete type yet (it is after the closing brace of the class definition). However, A<B>::action's declaration requires B to be complete, because it is crawling in the scope of it:

Subclass::mytype

What you need to do is delaying the instantiation to some point at which B is complete. One way of doing this is to modify the declaration of action to make it a member template.

template<typename T>
void action(T var) {
    (static_cast<Subclass*>(this))->do_action(var);
}

It is still type-safe because if var is not of the right type, passing var to do_action will fail.

Django - "no module named django.core.management"

well, I faced the same error today after installing virtualenv and django. For me it was that I had used sudo (sudo pip install django) for installing django, and I was trying to run the manage.py runserver without sudo. I just added sudo and it worked. :)

Can I disable a CSS :hover effect via JavaScript?

You can manipulate the stylesheets and stylesheet rules themselves with javascript

var sheetCount = document.styleSheets.length;
var lastSheet = document.styleSheets[sheetCount-1];
var ruleCount;
if (lastSheet.cssRules) { // Firefox uses 'cssRules'
    ruleCount = lastSheet.cssRules.length;
}
else if (lastSheet.rules) { / /IE uses 'rules'
    ruleCount = lastSheet.rules.length;
}
var newRule = "a:hover { text-decoration: none !important; color: #000 !important; }";
// insert as the last rule in the last sheet so it
// overrides (not overwrites) previous definitions
lastSheet.insertRule(newRule, ruleCount);

Making the attributes !important and making this the very last CSS definition should override any previous definition, unless one is more specifically targeted. You may have to insert more rules in that case.

3D Plotting from X, Y, Z Data, Excel or other Tools

You also can use Gnuplot which is also available from gretl. Put your x y z data on a text file an insert the following

splot 'test.txt' using 1:2:3 with points palette pointsize 3 pointtype 7

Then you can set labels, etc. using

set xlabel "xxx" rotate parallel
set ylabel "yyy" rotate parallel
set zlabel "zzz" rotate parallel
set grid
show grid
unset key

What is a segmentation fault?

Segmentation fault is a specific kind of error caused by accessing memory that “does not belong to you.” It’s a helper mechanism that keeps you from corrupting the memory and introducing hard-to-debug memory bugs. Whenever you get a segfault you know you are doing something wrong with memory – accessing a variable that has already been freed, writing to a read-only portion of the memory, etc. Segmentation fault is essentially the same in most languages that let you mess with memory management, there is no principal difference between segfaults in C and C++.

There are many ways to get a segfault, at least in the lower-level languages such as C(++). A common way to get a segfault is to dereference a null pointer:

int *p = NULL;
*p = 1;

Another segfault happens when you try to write to a portion of memory that was marked as read-only:

char *str = "Foo"; // Compiler marks the constant string as read-only
*str = 'b'; // Which means this is illegal and results in a segfault

Dangling pointer points to a thing that does not exist anymore, like here:

char *p = NULL;
{
    char c;
    p = &c;
}
// Now p is dangling

The pointer p dangles because it points to the character variable c that ceased to exist after the block ended. And when you try to dereference dangling pointer (like *p='A'), you would probably get a segfault.

Best design for a changelog / auditing database table?

There are many ways to do this. My favorite way is:

  1. Add a mod_user field to your source table (the one you want to log).

  2. Create a log table that contains the fields you want to log, plus a log_datetime and seq_num field. seq_num is the primary key.

  3. Build a trigger on the source table that inserts the current record into the log table whenever any monitored field is changed.

Now you've got a record of every change and who made it.

Decoding a Base64 string in Java

Modify the package you're using:

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

And then use it like this:

byte[] decoded = Base64.decodeBase64("YWJjZGVmZw==");
System.out.println(new String(decoded, "UTF-8") + "\n");

Retrieving data from a POST method in ASP.NET

You can get a form value posted to a page using code similiar to this (C#) -

string formValue;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form["txtFormValue"]))
{
  formValue= Request.Form["txtFormValue"];
}

or this (VB)

Dim formValue As String
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form("txtFormValue")) Then
    formValue = Request.Form("txtFormValue")
End If

Once you have the values you need you can then construct a SQL statement and and write the data to a database.

How do I make a redirect in PHP?

1. Using header, a built-in PHP function

a) Simple redirect without parameters

<?php
   header('Location: index.php');
?>

b) Redirect with GET parameters

<?php
      $id = 2;
      header("Location: index.php?id=$id&msg=succesfully redirect");
  ?>

2. Redirect with JavaScript in PHP

a) Simple redirect without parameters

<?php
     echo "<script>location.href='index.php';</script>";
 ?>

b) Redirect with GET parameters

<?php
     $id = 2;
     echo "<script>location.href='index.php?id=$id&msg=succesfully redirect';</script>";
   ?>

css 'pointer-events' property alternative for IE

Here is another solution that is very easy to implement with 5 lines of code:

  1. Capture the 'mousedown' event for the top element (the element you want to turn off pointer events).
  2. In the 'mousedown' hide the top element.
  3. Use 'document.elementFromPoint()' to get the underlying element.
  4. Unhide the top element.
  5. Execute the desired event for the underlying element.

Example:

//This is an IE fix because pointer-events does not work in IE
$(document).on('mousedown', '.TopElement', function (e) {

    $(this).hide();
    var BottomElement = document.elementFromPoint(e.clientX, e.clientY);
    $(this).show();
    $(BottomElement).mousedown(); //Manually fire the event for desired underlying element

    return false;

});

Objects inside objects in javascript

You may have as many levels of Object hierarchy as you want, as long you declare an Object as being a property of another parent Object. Pay attention to the commas on each level, that's the tricky part. Don't use commas after the last element on each level:

{el1, el2, {el31, el32, el33}, {el41, el42}}

_x000D_
_x000D_

Node.js check if path is file or directory

Update: Node.Js >= 10

We can use the new fs.promises API

const fs = require('fs').promises;

(async() => {
    const stat = await fs.lstat('test.txt');
    console.log(stat.isFile());
})().catch(console.error)

Any Node.Js version

Here's how you would detect if a path is a file or a directory asynchronously, which is the recommended approach in node. using fs.lstat

const fs = require("fs");

let path = "/path/to/something";

fs.lstat(path, (err, stats) => {

    if(err)
        return console.log(err); //Handle error

    console.log(`Is file: ${stats.isFile()}`);
    console.log(`Is directory: ${stats.isDirectory()}`);
    console.log(`Is symbolic link: ${stats.isSymbolicLink()}`);
    console.log(`Is FIFO: ${stats.isFIFO()}`);
    console.log(`Is socket: ${stats.isSocket()}`);
    console.log(`Is character device: ${stats.isCharacterDevice()}`);
    console.log(`Is block device: ${stats.isBlockDevice()}`);
});

Note when using the synchronous API:

When using the synchronous form any exceptions are immediately thrown. You can use try/catch to handle exceptions or allow them to bubble up.

try{
     fs.lstatSync("/some/path").isDirectory()
}catch(e){
   // Handle error
   if(e.code == 'ENOENT'){
     //no such file or directory
     //do something
   }else {
     //do something else
   }
}

How to extract closed caption transcript from YouTube video?

Another option is to use youtube-dl:

youtube-dl --skip-download --write-auto-sub $youtube_url

The default format is vtt and the other available format is ttml (--sub-format ttml).

--write-sub
       Write subtitle file

--write-auto-sub
       Write automatically generated subtitle file (YouTube only)

--all-subs
       Download all the available subtitles of the video

--list-subs
       List all available subtitles for the video

--sub-format FORMAT
       Subtitle format, accepts formats preference, for example: "srt" or "ass/srt/best"

--sub-lang LANGS
       Languages of the subtitles to download (optional) separated by commas, use --list-subs for available language tags

You can use ffmpeg to convert the subtitle file to another format:

ffmpeg -i input.vtt output.srt

This is what the VTT subtitles look like:

the circumstances that's brought us

You can see that each subtitle text is repeated three times. There is a new subtitle text every eighth line (3rd, 11th, 19th, and 27th).

This converts the VTT subtitles to a simpler format:

sed '1,/^$/d' *.vtt| # remove the part at the top
sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'| # remove tags
awk -F. 'NR%8==1{printf"%s ",$1}NR%8==3' # print each new subtitle text and its start time without milliseconds

This is what the output of the command above looks like:

00:00:01 ladies and gentlemen I'd like to thank
00:00:04 you for coming tonight especially at
00:00:05 such short notice
00:00:07 I'm sure mr. Irving will fill you in on
00:00:09 the circumstances that's brought us

This prints the closed captions of a video in the simplified format:

cap()(cd /tmp;rm -f -- *.vtt;youtube-dl --skip-download --write-auto-sub -- "$1";sed '1,/^$/d' -- *.vtt|sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'|awk -F. 'NR%8==1{printf"%s ",$1}NR%8==3')

The command below downloads the captions of all videos on a channel. When there is an error like Unable to extract video data, -i (--ignore-errors) causes youtube-dl to skip the video instead of exiting with an error.

youtube-dl -i --skip-download --write-auto-sub -o '%(upload_date)s.%(title)s.%(id)s.%(ext)s' https://www.youtube.com/channel/$channelid;for f in *.vtt;do sed '1,/^$/d' "$f"|sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'|awk -F. 'NR%8==1{printf"%s ",$1}NR%8==3'>"${f%.vtt}";done

Vagrant shared and synced folders

shared folders VS synced folders

Basically shared folders are renamed to synced folder from v1 to v2 (docs), under the bonnet it is still using vboxsf between host and guest (there is known performance issues if there are large numbers of files/directories).

Vagrantfile directory mounted as /vagrant in guest

Vagrant is mounting the current working directory (where Vagrantfile resides) as /vagrant in the guest, this is the default behaviour.

See docs

NOTE: By default, Vagrant will share your project directory (the directory with the Vagrantfile) to /vagrant.

You can disable this behaviour by adding cfg.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true in your Vagrantfile.

Why synced folder is not working

Based on the output /tmp on host was NOT mounted during up time.

Use VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant up or VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant reload to start the VM for more output regarding why the synced folder is not mounted. Could be a permission issue (mode bits of /tmp on host should be drwxrwxrwt).

I did a test quick test using the following and it worked (I used opscode bento raring vagrant base box)

config.vm.synced_folder "/tmp", "/tmp/src"

output

$ vagrant reload

Within the VM, you can see the mount info /tmp/src on /tmp/src type vboxsf (uid=900,gid=900,rw).

typescript - cloning object

In typeScript I test with angular, and it's doing OK

deepCopy(obj) {


        var copy;

        // Handle the 3 simple types, and null or undefined
        if (null == obj || "object" != typeof obj) return obj;

        // Handle Date
        if (obj instanceof Date) {
            copy = new Date();
            copy.setTime(obj.getTime());
            return copy;
        }

        // Handle Array
        if (obj instanceof Array) {
            copy = [];
            for (var i = 0, len = obj.length; i < len; i++) {
                copy[i] = this.deepCopy(obj[i]);
            }
            return copy;
        }

        // Handle Object
        if (obj instanceof Object) {
            copy = {};
            for (var attr in obj) {
                if (obj.hasOwnProperty(attr)) copy[attr] = this.deepCopy(obj[attr]);
            }
            return copy;
        }

        throw new Error("Unable to copy obj! Its type isn't supported.");
    }

Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in

In our case the problem was caused by the web service being called using the OPTIONS request method (instead of GET or POST).

We still don't know why the problem suddenly appeared. The web service had been running for 5 years perfectly well over both HTTP and HTTPS. We are the only ones that consume the web service and it is always using POST.

Recently we decided to make the site that host the web service SSL only. We added rewrite rules to the Web.config to convert anything HTTP into HTTPS, deployed, and immediately started getting, on top of the regular GET and POST requests, OPTIONS requests. The OPTIONS requests caused the error discussed on this post.

The rest of the application worked perfectly well. But we kept getting hundreds of error reports due to this problem.

There are several posts (e.g. this one) discussing how to handle the OPTIONS method. We went for handling the OPTIONS request directly in the Global.asax. This made the problem dissapear.

    protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var req = HttpContext.Current.Request;
        var resp = HttpContext.Current.Response;

        if (req.HttpMethod == "OPTIONS")
        {
            //These headers are handling the "pre-flight" OPTIONS call sent by the browser
            resp.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST");
            resp.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, Content-Type, Accept, SOAPAction");
            resp.AddHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", "1728000");
            resp.End();
        }
    }

Creating temporary files in bash

Is there any advantage in creating a temporary file in a more careful way

The temporary files are usually created in the temporary directory (such as /tmp) where all other users and processes has read and write access (any other script can create the new files there). Therefore the script should be careful about creating the files such as using with the right permissions (e.g. read only for the owner, see: help umask) and filename should be be not easily guessed (ideally random). Otherwise if the filenames aren't unique, it can create conflict with the same script ran multiple times (e.g. race condition) or some attacker could either hijack some sensitive information (e.g. when permissions are too open and filename is easy to guess) or create/replacing the file with their own version of the code (like replacing the commands or SQL queries depending on what is being stored).


You could use the following approach to create the temporary directory:

TMPDIR=".${0##*/}-$$" && mkdir -v "$TMPDIR"

or temporary file:

TMPFILE=".${0##*/}-$$" && touch "$TMPFILE"

However it is still predictable and not considered safe.

As per man mktemp, we can read:

Traditionally, many shell scripts take the name of the program with the pid as a suffix and use that as a temporary file name. This kind of naming scheme is predictable and the race condition it creates is easy for an attacker to win.

So to be safe, it is recommended to use mktemp command to create unique temporary file or directory (-d).

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

You might want to look at the strtotime and date functions.

<?php

$query_date = '2010-02-04';

// First day of the month.
echo date('Y-m-01', strtotime($query_date));

// Last day of the month.
echo date('Y-m-t', strtotime($query_date));

Automated Python to Java translation

Yes Jython does this, but it may or may not be what you want

Best way to do a split pane in HTML

In the old days, you would use frames to achieve this. There are several reasons why this approach is not so good. See Reece's response to Why are HTML frames bad?. See also Jakob Nielson's Why Frames Suck (Most of the Time).

A somewhat newer approach is to use inline frames. This has pluses and minuses as well: Are iframes considered 'bad practice'?

An even better approach is to use fixed positioning. By placing the navigation content (e.g. the favorites links in your example) in a block element (like a div) then applying position:fixed to that element and setting the left, top and bottom properties like this:

#myNav {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0px;
    top: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    width: 200px;
}

... you will achieve a vertical column down the left side of the page that will not move when the user scrolls the page.

The rest of the content on the page will not "feel" the presence of this nav element, so it must take into account the 200px of space it occupies. You can do this by placing the rest for the content in another div and setting margin-left:200px;.

HTTP 404 when accessing .svc file in IIS

You need to add a mapping for the SVC extension to ASP.NET. The easiest way to do this is to run ServiceModelReg.exe -i from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation. You may also need to enable ASP.NET if you haven't already done so.


If you are using Windows Server 2012 or 2016, follow these instructions instead:

Parsing JSON in Spring MVC using Jackson JSON

The whole point of using a mapping technology like Jackson is that you can use Objects (you don't have to parse the JSON yourself).

Define a Java class that resembles the JSON you will be expecting.

e.g. this JSON:

{
"foo" : ["abc","one","two","three"],
"bar" : "true",
"baz" : "1"
}

could be mapped to this class:

public class Fizzle{
    private List<String> foo;
    private boolean bar;
    private int baz;
    // getters and setters omitted
}

Now if you have a Controller method like this:

@RequestMapping("somepath")
@ResponseBody
public Fozzle doSomeThing(@RequestBody Fizzle input){
    return new Fozzle(input);
}

and you pass in the JSON from above, Jackson will automatically create a Fizzle object for you, and it will serialize a JSON view of the returned Object out to the response with mime type application/json.

For a full working example see this previous answer of mine.

How to choose multiple files using File Upload Control?

The FileUpload.AllowMultiple property in .NET 4.5 and higher will allow you the control to select multiple files.

Below 4.5 like 4.0(vs 2010) we can use jquery for multiple file upload in single control,using,2 js files: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js and http://code.google.com/p/jquery-multifile-plugin/

in aspx file upload tag,add like class="multi"

<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" class="multi" runat="server" />

If you want working example go to link download sample.

How can I tell if a DOM element is visible in the current viewport?

A better solution:

function getViewportSize(w) {
    var w = w || window;
    if(w.innerWidth != null)
        return {w:w.innerWidth, h:w.innerHeight};
    var d = w.document;
    if (document.compatMode == "CSS1Compat") {
        return {
            w: d.documentElement.clientWidth,
            h: d.documentElement.clientHeight
        };
    }
    return { w: d.body.clientWidth, h: d.body.clientWidth };
}


function isViewportVisible(e) {
    var box = e.getBoundingClientRect();
    var height = box.height || (box.bottom - box.top);
    var width = box.width || (box.right - box.left);
    var viewport = getViewportSize();
    if(!height || !width)
        return false;
    if(box.top > viewport.h || box.bottom < 0)
        return false;
    if(box.right < 0 || box.left > viewport.w)
        return false;
    return true;
}

How to read file with async/await properly?

You can easily wrap the readFile command with a promise like so:

async function readFile(path) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      fs.readFile(path, 'utf8', function (err, data) {
        if (err) {
          reject(err);
        }
        resolve(data);
      });
    });
  }

then use:

await readFile("path/to/file");

Set background color in PHP?

<?php

}

Excel VBA Check if directory exists error

To be certain that a folder exists (and not a file) I use this function:

Public Function FolderExists(strFolderPath As String) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    FolderExists = ((GetAttr(strFolderPath) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory)
    On Error GoTo 0
End Function

It works both, with \ at the end and without.

Angular 2 Unit Tests: Cannot find name 'describe'

With [email protected] or later you can install types with npm install

npm install --save-dev @types/jasmine

then import the types automatically using the typeRoots option in tsconfig.json.

"typeRoots": [
      "node_modules/@types"
    ],

This solution does not require import {} from 'jasmine'; in each spec file.

What are all the possible values for HTTP "Content-Type" header?

I would aim at covering a subset of possible "Content-type" values, you question seems to focus on identifying known content types.

@Jeroen RFC 1341 reference is great, but for an fairly exhaustive list IANA keeps a web page of officially registered media types here.

Getting URL hash location, and using it in jQuery

I would suggest better cek first if the current page has a hash. Otherwise it will be undefined.

$(window).on('load', function(){        
    if( location.hash && location.hash.length ) {
       var hash = decodeURIComponent(location.hash.substr(1));
       $('ul'+hash+':first').show();;
    }       
});

Add items in array angular 4

Push object into your array. Try this:

export class FormComponent implements OnInit {
    name: string;
    empoloyeeID : number;
    empList: Array<{name: string, empoloyeeID: number}> = []; 
    constructor() {}
    ngOnInit() {}
    onEmpCreate(){
        console.log(this.name,this.empoloyeeID);
        this.empList.push({ name: this.name, empoloyeeID: this.empoloyeeID });
        this.name = "";
        this.empoloyeeID = 0;
    }
}

Sorted collection in Java

Use TreeSet which gives elements in sorted order. OR use Collection.sort() for external sorting with Comparator().

Custom made :) you can use dropdown hori/vertical offset properties to position the list currently, also try android:spinnerMode="dialog" it is cooler.

Access index of last element in data frame

You want .iloc with double brackets.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"date": range(10, 64, 8), "not_date": "fools"})
df.index += 17
df.iloc[[0,-1]][['date']]

You give .iloc a list of indexes - specifically the first and last, [0, -1]. That returns a dataframe from which you ask for the 'date' column. ['date'] will give you a series (yuck), and [['date']] will give you a dataframe.

MySQL: NOT LIKE

categories_posts and categories_news start with substring 'categories_' then it is enough to check that developer_configurations_cms.cfg_name_unique starts with 'categories' instead of check if it contains the given substring. Translating all that into a query:

SELECT *
    FROM developer_configurations_cms

    WHERE developer_configurations_cms.cat_id = '1'
    AND developer_configurations_cms.cfg_variables LIKE '%parent_id=2%'
    AND developer_configurations_cms.cfg_name_unique NOT LIKE 'categories%'

Where is the WPF Numeric UpDown control?

I made my own;

the xaml

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
    <TextBox x:Name="txtNum" x:FieldModifier="private" Margin="5,5,0,5" Width="50" Text="0" TextChanged="txtNum_TextChanged" />
    <Button x:Name="cmdUp" x:FieldModifier="private" Margin="5,5,0,5" Content="^" Width="20" Click="cmdUp_Click" />
    <Button x:Name="cmdDown" x:FieldModifier="private" Margin="0,5,0,5"  Content="?" Width="20" Click="cmdDown_Click" />
</StackPanel>

and the code behind

private int _numValue = 0;

public int NumValue
{
    get {  return _numValue; }
    set
    {
        _numValue = value;
        txtNum.Text = value.ToString();
    }
}

public NumberUpDown()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    txtNum.Text = _numValue.ToString();
}

private void cmdUp_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    NumValue++;
}

private void cmdDown_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    NumValue--;
}

private void txtNum_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (txtNum == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    if (!int.TryParse(txtNum.Text, out _numValue))
        txtNum.Text = _numValue.ToString();
}

How to store directory files listing into an array?

I'd use

files=(*)

And then if you need data about the file, such as size, use the stat command on each file.

mongodb, replicates and error: { "$err" : "not master and slaveOk=false", "code" : 13435 }

I got here searching for the same error, but from Node.js native driver. The answer for me was combination of answers by campeterson and Prabhat.

The issue is that readPreference setting defaults to primary, which then somehow leads to the confusing slaveOk error. My problem is that I just wan to read from my replica set from any node. I don't even connect to it as to replicaset. I just connect to any node to read from it.

Setting readPreference to primaryPreferred (or better to the ReadPreference.PRIMARY_PREFERRED constant) solved it for me. Just pass it as an option to MongoClient.connect() or to client.db() or to any find(), aggregate() or other function.

const { MongoClient, ReadPreference } = require('mongodb');
const client = await MongoClient.connect(MONGODB_CONNECTIONSTRING, { readPreference: ReadPreference.PRIMARY_PREFERRED });

SELECT inside a COUNT

You can move the count() inside your sub-select:

SELECT a AS current_a, COUNT(*) AS b,
   ( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t WHERE a = current_a AND c = 'const' ) as d,
   from t group by a order by b desc

Java: Casting Object to Array type

What you've got (according to the debug image) is an object array containing a string array. So you need something like:

Object[] objects = (Object[]) values;
String[] strings = (String[]) objects[0];

You haven't shown the type of values - if this is already Object[] then you could just use (String[])values[0].

Of course even with the cast to Object[] you could still do it in one statement, but it's ugly:

String[] strings = (String[]) ((Object[])values)[0];

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

A load time dependency could not be resolved. The easiest way to debug this is to use Dependency Walker. Use the Profile option to get diagnostics output of the load process. This will identify the point of failure and should guide you to a solution.

The most common cause of this error is trying to load a 64 bit DLL into a 32 bit process, or vice versa.

String to LocalDate

java.time

Since Java 1.8, you can achieve this without an extra library by using the java.time classes. See Tutorial.

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MMM-dd");
formatter = formatter.withLocale( putAppropriateLocaleHere );  // Locale specifies human language for translating, and cultural norms for lowercase/uppercase and abbreviations and such. Example: Locale.US or Locale.CANADA_FRENCH
LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("2005-nov-12", formatter);

The syntax is nearly the same though.

Jquery DatePicker Set default date

Today date:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "setDate", new Date());
// Or on the init
$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ defaultDate: new Date() });

15 days from today:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "setDate", 15);
// Or on the init
$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ defaultDate: 15 });

jQuery ui docs

float:left; vs display:inline; vs display:inline-block; vs display:table-cell;

For the record only, to add to Spudley's answer, there is also the possibility to use position: absolute and margins if you know the column widths.

For me, the main issue when chossing a method is whether you need the columns to fill the whole height (equal heights), where table-cell is the easiest method (if you don't care much for older browsers).

What's the difference between jquery.js and jquery.min.js?

Both support the same functions. jquery.min.js is a compressed version of jquery.js (whitespaces and comments stripped out, shorter variable names, ...) in order to preserve bandwidth. In terms of functionality they are absolutely the same. It is recommended to use this compressed version in production environment.

setting y-axis limit in matplotlib

Your code works also for me. However, another workaround can be to get the plot's axis and then change only the y-values:

x1,x2,y1,y2 = plt.axis()
plt.axis((x1,x2,25,250))

How can I do factory reset using adb in android?

You can send intent MASTER_CLEAR in adb:

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR

or as root

adb shell  "su -c 'am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR'"

Multiple conditions in if statement shell script

if using /bin/sh you can use:

if [ <condition> ] && [ <condition> ]; then
    ...
fi

if using /bin/bash you can use:

if [[ <condition> && <condition> ]]; then
    ...
fi

How to Clear Console in Java?

If you are using windows and are interested in clearing the screen before running the program, you can compile the file call it from a .bat file. for example:


cls

java "what ever the name of the compiles class is"


Save as "etc".bat and then running by calling it in the command prompt or double clicking the file

Why does Node.js' fs.readFile() return a buffer instead of string?

Try:

    fs.readFile("test.txt", "utf8", function(err, data) {...});

Basically, you need to specify the encoding.

How to use pip with python 3.4 on windows?

From the same page

Note: To avoid conflicts between parallel Python 2 and Python 3 installations, only the versioned pip3 and pip3.4 commands are bootstrapped by default when ensurepip is invoked directly - the --default-pip option is needed to also request the unversioned pip command. pyvenv and the Windows installer ensure that the unqualified pip command is made available in those environments, and pip can always be invoked via the -m switch rather than directly to avoid ambiguity on systems with multiple Python installations.

So try pip3 or pip3.4 in Command Prompt.

Also, ensure that environment variable are set for pip command, if you missed to opt-in for automatic PATH configuration.

How do I format date and time on ssrs report?

Remove x-axis label/text in chart.js

If you want the labels to be retained for the tooltip, but not displayed below the bars the following hack might be useful. I made this change for use on an private intranet application and have not tested it for efficiency or side-effects, but it did what I needed.

At about line 71 in chart.js add a property to hide the bar labels:

// Boolean - Whether to show x-axis labels
barShowLabels: true,

At about line 1500 use that property to suppress changing this.endPoint (it seems that other portions of the calculation code are needed as chunks of the chart disappeared or were rendered incorrectly if I disabled anything more than this line).

if (this.xLabelRotation > 0) {
    if (this.ctx.barShowLabels) {
        this.endPoint -= Math.sin(toRadians(this.xLabelRotation)) * originalLabelWidth + 3;
    } else {
        // don't change this.endPoint
    }
}

At about line 1644 use the property to suppress the label rendering:

if (ctx.barShowLabels) {    
    ctx.fillText(label, 0, 0);
}

I'd like to make this change to the Chart.js source but aren't that familiar with git and don't have the time to test rigorously so would rather avoid breaking anything.

Android: Center an image

You can also use this,

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

The image will be placed at the center of the screen

Hide Spinner in Input Number - Firefox 29

I mixed few answers from answers above and from How to remove the arrows from input[type="number"] in Opera in scss:

input[type=number] {
  &,
  &::-webkit-inner-spin-button,
  &::-webkit-outer-spin-button {
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    -moz-appearance: textfield;
    appearance: none;

    &:hover,
    &:focus {
      -moz-appearance: number-input;
    }
  }
}

Tested on chrome, firefox, safari

Passing functions with arguments to another function in Python?

(months later) a tiny real example where lambda is useful, partial not:
say you want various 1-dimensional cross-sections through a 2-dimensional function, like slices through a row of hills.
quadf( x, f ) takes a 1-d f and calls it for various x.
To call it for vertical cuts at y = -1 0 1 and horizontal cuts at x = -1 0 1,

fx1 = quadf( x, lambda x: f( x, 1 ))
fx0 = quadf( x, lambda x: f( x, 0 ))
fx_1 = quadf( x, lambda x: f( x, -1 ))
fxy = parabola( y, fx_1, fx0, fx1 )

f_1y = quadf( y, lambda y: f( -1, y ))
f0y = quadf( y, lambda y: f( 0, y ))
f1y = quadf( y, lambda y: f( 1, y ))
fyx = parabola( x, f_1y, f0y, f1y )

As far as I know, partial can't do this --

quadf( y, partial( f, x=1 ))
TypeError: f() got multiple values for keyword argument 'x'

Jquery AJAX: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource

If you are using NodeJs for your server side, just add these to your route and you will be Ok

     res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
     res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");

Your route will then look somehow like this

    router.post('/odin', function(req, res, next) {
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");


    return res.json({Name: req.body.name, Phone: req.body.phone});
});

Client side for Ajax call

 var sendingData = {
   name: "Odinfono Emmanuel",
   phone: "1234567890"
}

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){

    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/odin',            
        method: 'POST',
        type: 'json',
        data: sendingData,
        success: function (response) {
            console.log(response);
        },
        error: function (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }
        });
    });
</script>

You should have something like this in your browser console as response

{ name: "Odinfono Emmanuel", phone: "1234567890"}

Enjoy coding....

Can I hide/show asp:Menu items based on role?

This is best done in the MenuItemDataBound.

protected void NavigationMenu_MenuItemDataBound(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.User.IsInRole("Admin"))
    {
        if (e.Item.NavigateUrl.Equals("/admin"))
        {
            if (e.Item.Parent != null)
            {
                MenuItem menu = e.Item.Parent;

                menu.ChildItems.Remove(e.Item);
            }
            else
            {
                Menu menu = (Menu)sender;

                menu.Items.Remove(e.Item);
            }               
        }
    }
}

Because the example used the NavigateUrl it is not language specific and works on sites with localized site maps.

Difference between 2 dates in seconds

$timeFirst  = strtotime('2011-05-12 18:20:20');
$timeSecond = strtotime('2011-05-13 18:20:20');
$differenceInSeconds = $timeSecond - $timeFirst;

You will then be able to use the seconds to find minutes, hours, days, etc.

Recursively list files in Java

I came up with this for printing all the files/file names recursively.

private static void printAllFiles(String filePath,File folder) {
    if(filePath==null) {
        return;
    }
    File[] files = folder.listFiles();
    for(File element : files) {
        if(element.isDirectory()) {
            printAllFiles(filePath,element);
        } else {
            System.out.println(" FileName "+ element.getName());
        }
    }
}

Hashcode and Equals for Hashset

according jdk source code from javasourcecode.org, HashSet use HashMap as its inside implementation, the code about put method of HashSet is below :

public V put(K key, V value) {
        if (key == null)
            return putForNullKey(value);
        int hash = hash(key.hashCode());
        int i = indexFor(hash, table.length);
        for (Entry<K,V> e = table[i]; e != null; e = e.next) {
            Object k;
            if (e.hash == hash && ((k = e.key) == key || key.equals(k))) {
                V oldValue = e.value;
                e.value = value;
                e.recordAccess(this);
                return oldValue;
            }
        }

        modCount++;
        addEntry(hash, key, value, i);
        return null;
    }

The rule is firstly check the hash, then check the reference and then call equals method of the object will be putted in.

How can I implement a theme from bootswatch or wrapbootstrap in an MVC 5 project?

This may be a little late; but someone will find it useful.

There's a Nuget Package for integrating AdminLTE - a popular Bootstrap template - to MVC5

Simply run this command in your Visual Studio Package Manager console

Install-Package AdminLteMvc

NB: It may take a while to install because it downloads all necessary files as well as create sample full and partial views (.cshtml files) that can guide you as you develop. A sample layout file _AdminLteLayout.cshtml is also provided.

You'll find the files in ~/Views/Shared/ folder

How to get memory usage at runtime using C++?

On Linux, I've never found an ioctl() solution. For our applications, we coded a general utility routine based on reading files in /proc/pid. There are a number of these files which give differing results. Here's the one we settled on (the question was tagged C++, and we handled I/O using C++ constructs, but it should be easily adaptable to C i/o routines if you need to):

#include <unistd.h>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// process_mem_usage(double &, double &) - takes two doubles by reference,
// attempts to read the system-dependent data for a process' virtual memory
// size and resident set size, and return the results in KB.
//
// On failure, returns 0.0, 0.0

void process_mem_usage(double& vm_usage, double& resident_set)
{
   using std::ios_base;
   using std::ifstream;
   using std::string;

   vm_usage     = 0.0;
   resident_set = 0.0;

   // 'file' stat seems to give the most reliable results
   //
   ifstream stat_stream("/proc/self/stat",ios_base::in);

   // dummy vars for leading entries in stat that we don't care about
   //
   string pid, comm, state, ppid, pgrp, session, tty_nr;
   string tpgid, flags, minflt, cminflt, majflt, cmajflt;
   string utime, stime, cutime, cstime, priority, nice;
   string O, itrealvalue, starttime;

   // the two fields we want
   //
   unsigned long vsize;
   long rss;

   stat_stream >> pid >> comm >> state >> ppid >> pgrp >> session >> tty_nr
               >> tpgid >> flags >> minflt >> cminflt >> majflt >> cmajflt
               >> utime >> stime >> cutime >> cstime >> priority >> nice
               >> O >> itrealvalue >> starttime >> vsize >> rss; // don't care about the rest

   stat_stream.close();

   long page_size_kb = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) / 1024; // in case x86-64 is configured to use 2MB pages
   vm_usage     = vsize / 1024.0;
   resident_set = rss * page_size_kb;
}

int main()
{
   using std::cout;
   using std::endl;

   double vm, rss;
   process_mem_usage(vm, rss);
   cout << "VM: " << vm << "; RSS: " << rss << endl;
}

JQuery to load Javascript file dynamically

Yes, use getScript instead of document.write - it will even allow for a callback once the file loads.

You might want to check if TinyMCE is defined, though, before including it (for subsequent calls to 'Add Comment') so the code might look something like this:

$('#add_comment').click(function() {
    if(typeof TinyMCE == "undefined") {
        $.getScript('tinymce.js', function() {
            TinyMCE.init();
        });
    }
});

Assuming you only have to call init on it once, that is. If not, you can figure it out from here :)

POSTing JSON to URL via WebClient in C#

You need a json serializer to parse your content, probably you already have it, for your initial question on how to make a request, this might be an idea:

var baseAddress = "http://www.example.com/1.0/service/action";

var http = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(baseAddress));
http.Accept = "application/json";
http.ContentType = "application/json";
http.Method = "POST";

string parsedContent = <<PUT HERE YOUR JSON PARSED CONTENT>>;
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
Byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(parsedContent);

Stream newStream = http.GetRequestStream();
newStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
newStream.Close();

var response = http.GetResponse();

var stream = response.GetResponseStream();
var sr = new StreamReader(stream);
var content = sr.ReadToEnd();

hope it helps,

How to extract the n-th elements from a list of tuples?

This also works:

zip(*elements)[1]

(I am mainly posting this, to prove to myself that I have groked zip...)

See it in action:

>>> help(zip)

Help on built-in function zip in module builtin:

zip(...)

zip(seq1 [, seq2 [...]]) -> [(seq1[0], seq2[0] ...), (...)]

Return a list of tuples, where each tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences. The returned list is truncated in length to the length of the shortest argument sequence.

>>> elements = [(1,1,1),(2,3,7),(3,5,10)]
>>> zip(*elements)
[(1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 5), (1, 7, 10)]
>>> zip(*elements)[1]
(1, 3, 5)
>>>

Neat thing I learned today: Use *list in arguments to create a parameter list for a function...

Note: In Python3, zip returns an iterator, so instead use list(zip(*elements)) to return a list of tuples.

How to customize a Spinner in Android

Using ChildActionOnly in MVC

    public class HomeController : Controller  
    {  
        public ActionResult Index()  
        {  
            ViewBag.TempValue = "Index Action called at HomeController";  
            return View();  
        }  

        [ChildActionOnly]  
        public ActionResult ChildAction(string param)  
        {  
            ViewBag.Message = "Child Action called. " + param;  
            return View();  
        }  
    }  


The code is initially invoking an Index action that in turn returns two Index views and at the View level it calls the ChildAction named “ChildAction”.

    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Index";    
    }    
    <h2>    
        Index    
    </h2>

RestSharp JSON Parameter Posting

This is what worked for me, for my case it was a post for login request :

var client = new RestClient("http://www.example.com/1/2");
var request = new RestRequest();

request.Method = Method.POST;
request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.Parameters.Clear();
request.AddParameter("application/json", body , ParameterType.RequestBody);

var response = client.Execute(request);
var content = response.Content; // raw content as string  

body :

{
  "userId":"[email protected]" ,
  "password":"welcome" 
}

y=numpy.array(y)
y*1

Jquery how to find an Object by attribute in an Array

The error was that you cannot use this in the grep, but you must use a reference to the element. This works:

function findPurpose(purposeName){

      return n.purpose == purposeName;
    });
};

findPurpose("daily");

returns:

[Object { purpose="daily"}]

How to set a Default Route (To an Area) in MVC

I guess you want user to be redirected to ~/AreaZ URL once (s)he has visited ~/ URL. I'd achieve by means of the following code within your root HomeController.

public class HomeController
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return RedirectToAction("ActionY", "ControllerX", new { Area = "AreaZ" });
    }
}

And the following route in Global.asax.

routes.MapRoute(
    "Redirection to AreaZ",
    String.Empty,
    new { controller = "Home ", action = "Index" }
);

MVC Razor view nested foreach's model

You can simply use EditorTemplates to do that, you need to create a directory named "EditorTemplates" in your controller's view folder and place a seperate view for each of your nested entities (named as entity class name)

Main view :

@model ViewModels.MyViewModels.Theme

@Html.LabelFor(Model.Theme.name)
@Html.EditorFor(Model.Theme.Categories)

Category view (/MyController/EditorTemplates/Category.cshtml) :

@model ViewModels.MyViewModels.Category

@Html.LabelFor(Model.Name)
@Html.EditorFor(Model.Products)

Product view (/MyController/EditorTemplates/Product.cshtml) :

@model ViewModels.MyViewModels.Product

@Html.LabelFor(Model.Name)
@Html.EditorFor(Model.Orders)

and so on

this way Html.EditorFor helper will generate element's names in an ordered manner and therefore you won't have any further problem for retrieving the posted Theme entity as a whole

Read a XML (from a string) and get some fields - Problems reading XML

You should use LoadXml method, not Load:

xmlDoc.LoadXml(myXML); 

Load method is trying to load xml from a file and LoadXml from a string. You could also use XPath:

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml);

string xpath = "myDataz/listS/sog";
var nodes = xmlDoc.SelectNodes(xpath);

foreach (XmlNode childrenNode in nodes)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(childrenNode.SelectSingleNode("//field1").Value);
} 

Giving UIView rounded corners

UIView* viewWithRoundedCornersSize(float cornerRadius,UIView * original)
{
    // Create a white border with defined width
    original.layer.borderColor = [UIColor yellowColor].CGColor;
    original.layer.borderWidth = 1.5;

    // Set image corner radius
    original.layer.cornerRadius =cornerRadius;

    // To enable corners to be "clipped"
    [original setClipsToBounds:YES];
    return original;
}

How to display a list using ViewBag

simply using Viewbag data as IEnumerable<> list

@{
 var getlist= ViewBag.Listdata as IEnumerable<myproject.models.listmodel>;

  foreach (var item in getlist){   //using foreach
<span>item .name</span>
}

}

//---------or just write name inside the getlist
<span>getlist[0].name</span>

How can I check if a string contains a character in C#?

here is an example what most of have done

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Test("Dot Net Perls");
        Test("dot net perls");
    }

    static void Test(string input)
    {
        Console.Write("--- ");
        Console.Write(input);
        Console.WriteLine(" ---");
        //
        // See if the string contains 'Net'
        //
        bool contains = input.Contains("Net");
        //
        // Write the result
        //
        Console.Write("Contains 'Net': ");
        Console.WriteLine(contains);
        //
        // See if the string contains 'perls' lowercase
        //
        if (input.Contains("perls"))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Contains 'perls'");
        }
        //
        // See if the string contains 'Dot'
        //
        if (!input.Contains("Dot"))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Doesn't Contain 'Dot'");
        }
    }
}

form confirm before submit

Simply...

  $('#myForm').submit(function() {
   return confirm("Click OK to continue?");
  });

or

  $('#myForm').submit(function() {
   var status = confirm("Click OK to continue?");
   if(status == false){
   return false;
   }
   else{
   return true; 
   }
  });

SELECT max(x) is returning null; how can I make it return 0?

You can also use COALESCE ( expression [ ,...n ] ) - returns first non-null like:

SELECT COALESCE(MAX(X),0) AS MaxX
FROM tbl
WHERE XID = 1

For me upgrading gradle version and plugin to the latest version did the trick.

Why do I get a "Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of" error message when using HibernateCriteriaBuilder in Grails

A primitive type cannot be null. So the solution is replace primitive type with primitive wrapper class in your tableName.java file. Such as:

@Column(nullable=true, name="client_os_id")
private Integer client_os_id;

public int getClient_os_id() {
    return client_os_id;
}

public void setClient_os_id(int clientOsId) {
    client_os_id = clientOsId;
}

reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_wrapper_class to find wrapper class of a primivite type.

How to create a new column in a select query

It depends what you wanted to do with that column e.g. here's an example of appending a new column to a recordset which can be updated on the client side:

Sub MSDataShape_AddNewCol()

  Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
  Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
  With rs
    .ActiveConnection = _
    "Provider=MSDataShape;" & _
    "Data Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
    "Data Source=C:\Tempo\New_Jet_DB.mdb"
    .Source = _
    "SHAPE {" & _
    " SELECT ExistingField" & _
    " FROM ExistingTable" & _
    " ORDER BY ExistingField" & _
    "} APPEND NEW adNumeric(5, 4) AS NewField"

    .LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic

    .Open

    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To .RecordCount - 1
      .Fields("NewField").Value = Round(.Fields("ExistingField").Value, 4)
      .MoveNext
    Next

    rs.Save "C:\rs.xml", adPersistXML

  End With
End Sub

Using sed and grep/egrep to search and replace

try something using a for loop

 for i in `egrep -lR "YOURSEARCH" .` ; do echo  $i; sed 's/f/k/' <$i >/tmp/`basename $i`; mv /tmp/`basename $i` $i; done

not pretty, but should do.

API pagination best practices

I've thought long and hard about this and finally ended up with the solution I'll describe below. It's a pretty big step up in complexity but if you do make this step, you'll end up with what you are really after, which is deterministic results for future requests.

Your example of an item being deleted is only the tip of the iceberg. What if you are filtering by color=blue but someone changes item colors in between requests? Fetching all items in a paged manner reliably is impossible... unless... we implement revision history.

I've implemented it and it's actually less difficult than I expected. Here's what I did:

  • I created a single table changelogs with an auto-increment ID column
  • My entities have an id field, but this is not the primary key
  • The entities have a changeId field which is both the primary key as well as a foreign key to changelogs.
  • Whenever a user creates, updates or deletes a record, the system inserts a new record in changelogs, grabs the id and assigns it to a new version of the entity, which it then inserts in the DB
  • My queries select the maximum changeId (grouped by id) and self-join that to get the most recent versions of all records.
  • Filters are applied to the most recent records
  • A state field keeps track of whether an item is deleted
  • The max changeId is returned to the client and added as a query parameter in subsequent requests
  • Because only new changes are created, every single changeId represents a unique snapshot of the underlying data at the moment the change was created.
  • This means that you can cache the results of requests that have the parameter changeId in them forever. The results will never expire because they will never change.
  • This also opens up exciting feature such as rollback / revert, synching client cache etc. Any features that benefit from change history.

JSON response parsing in Javascript to get key/value pair

There are two ways to access properties of objects:

var obj = {a: 'foo', b: 'bar'};

obj.a //foo
obj['b'] //bar

Or, if you need to dynamically do it:

var key = 'b';
obj[key] //bar

If you don't already have it as an object, you'll need to convert it.

For a more complex example, let's assume you have an array of objects that represent users:

var users = [{name: 'Corbin', age: 20, favoriteFoods: ['ice cream', 'pizza']},
             {name: 'John', age: 25, favoriteFoods: ['ice cream', 'skittle']}];

To access the age property of the second user, you would use users[1].age. To access the second "favoriteFood" of the first user, you'd use users[0].favoriteFoods[2].

Another example: obj[2].key[3]["some key"]

That would access the 3rd element of an array named 2. Then, it would access 'key' in that array, go to the third element of that, and then access the property name some key.


As Amadan noted, it might be worth also discussing how to loop over different structures.

To loop over an array, you can use a simple for loop:

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c'],
    i;
for (i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
    console.log(arr[i]);
}

To loop over an object is a bit more complicated. In the case that you're absolutely positive that the object is a plain object, you can use a plain for (x in obj) { } loop, but it's a lot safer to add in a hasOwnProperty check. This is necessary in situations where you cannot verify that the object does not have inherited properties. (It also future proofs the code a bit.)

var user = {name: 'Corbin', age: 20, location: 'USA'},
    key;

for (key in user) {
    if (user.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        console.log(key + " = " + user[key]);
    }
}    

(Note that I've assumed whatever JS implementation you're using has console.log. If not, you could use alert or some kind of DOM manipulation instead.)

Ways to circumvent the same-origin policy

Well, I used curl in PHP to circumvent this. I have a webservice running in port 82.

<?php

$curl = curl_init();
$timeout = 30;
$ret = "";
$url="http://localhost:82/put_val?val=".$_GET["val"];
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 20);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5");
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$text = curl_exec($curl);
echo $text;

?>

Here is the javascript that makes the call to the PHP file

function getdata(obj1, obj2) {

    var xmlhttp;

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
            xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    else
            xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
    {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
        {
                document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
        }
    }
    xmlhttp.open("GET","phpURLFile.php?eqp="+obj1+"&val="+obj2,true);
    xmlhttp.send();
}

My HTML runs on WAMP in port 80. So there we go, same origin policy has been circumvented :-)

How can I convert a date into an integer?

Here what you can try:

What is Bootstrap?

By today's standards and web terminology, I'd say Bootstrap is actually not a framework, although that's what their website claims. Most developers consider Angular, Vue and React frameworks, while Bootstrap is commonly referred to as a "library".

But, to be exact and correct, Bootstrap is an open-source, mobile-first collection of CSS, JavaScript and HTML design utilities aimed at providing means to develop commonly used web elements considerably faster (and smarter) than having to code them from scratch.

A few core principles which contributed to Bootstrap's success:

  • it's reusable
  • it's flexible (i.e: allows custom grid systems, changing responsiveness breakpoints, column gutter sizes or state colors with ease; as a rule of thumb, most settings are controlled by global variables)
  • it's intuitive
  • it's modular (both JavaScript and (S)CSS use a modular approach; one can easily find tutorials on making custom Bootstrap builds, to include only the parts they need)
  • has above average cross-browser compatibility
  • web accessibility out of the box (screenreader ready)
  • it's fairly well documented

It contains design templates and functionality for: layout, typography, forms, navigation, menus (including dropdowns), buttons, panels, badges, modals, alerts, tabs, collapsible, accordions, carousels, lists, tables, pagination, media utilities (including embeds, images and image replacement), responsiveness utilities, color-based utilities (primary, secondary, danger, warning, info, light, dark, muted, white), other utilities (position, margin, padding, sizing, spacing, alignment, visibility), scrollspy, affix, tooltips, popovers.


By default it relies on jQuery, but you'll find jQuery free variants powered by each of the modern popular progressive JavaScript frameworks:

Working with Bootstrap relies heavily on applying certain classes (or, depending on JS framework: directives, methods or attributes/props) and on using particular markup structures.

Documentation typically contains generic examples which can be easily copy-pasted and used as starter templates.


Another advantage of developing with Bootstrap is its vibrant community, translated into an abundance of themes, templates and plugins available for it, most of which are open-source (i.e: calendars, date/time-pickers, plugins for tabular content management, as well as libraries/component collections built on top of Bootstrap, such as MDB, portfolio templates, admin templates, etc...)

Last, but not least, Bootstrap has been well maintained over the years, which makes it a solid choice for production-ready applications/websites.

SQL: Two select statements in one query

You can use UNION in this case

select id, name, games, goals from tblMadrid
union
select id, name, games, goals from tblBarcelona

you jsut have to maintain order of selected columns ie id, name, games, goals in both SQLs

Google API authentication: Not valid origin for the client

Credentials do not work if API is not enabled. In my case the next steps were needed:

  1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
  2. Enter 'People'
  3. From the result choose 'Google People API'
  4. Click 'Enable'

jQuery: select an element's class and id at the same time?

It will work when adding space between id and class identifier

        WHEN Date1 >= Date2 AND Date1 >= Date3 THEN Date1
        WHEN Date2 >= Date1 AND Date2 >= Date3 THEN Date2
        WHEN Date3 >= Date1 AND Date3 >= Date2 THEN Date3

Why can't I center with margin: 0 auto?

I don't know why the first answer is the best one, I tried it and not working in fact, as @kalys.osmonov said, you can give text-align:center to header, but you have to make ul as inline-block rather than inline, and also you have to notice that text-align can be inherited which is not good to some degree, so the better way (not working below IE 9) is using margin and transform. Just remove float right and margin;0 auto from ul, like below:

#header ul {
   /* float: right; */
   /* margin: 0 auto; */
   display: inline-block;
   margin-left: 50%; /* From parent width */
   transform: translateX(-50%); /* use self width which can be unknown */
  -ms-transform: translateX(-50%); /* For IE9 */
}

This way can fix the problem that making dynamic width of ul center if you don't care IE8 etc.

Unable to verify leaf signature

I had an issue with my Apache configuration after installing a GoDaddy certificate on a subdomain. I originally thought it might be an issue with Node not sending a Server Name Indicator (SNI), but that wasn't the case. Analyzing the subdomain's SSL certificate with https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ returned the error Chain issues: Incomplete.

After adding the GoDaddy provided gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt file via the SSLCertificateChainFile Apache directive, Node was able to connect over HTTPS and the error went away.

Converting RGB to grayscale/intensity

The specific numbers in the question are from CCIR 601 (see the Wikipedia link below).

If you convert RGB -> grayscale with slightly different numbers / different methods, you won't see much difference at all on a normal computer screen under normal lighting conditions -- try it.

Here are some more links on color in general:

Wikipedia Luma

Bruce Lindbloom 's outstanding web site

chapter 4 on Color in the book by Colin Ware, "Information Visualization", isbn 1-55860-819-2; this long link to Ware in books.google.com may or may not work

cambridgeincolor : excellent, well-written "tutorials on how to acquire, interpret and process digital photographs using a visually-oriented approach that emphasizes concept over procedure"

Should you run into "linear" vs "nonlinear" RGB, here's part of an old note to myself on this. Repeat, in practice you won't see much difference.


RGB -> ^gamma -> Y -> L*

In color science, the common RGB values, as in html rgb( 10%, 20%, 30% ), are called "nonlinear" or Gamma corrected. "Linear" values are defined as

Rlin = R^gamma,  Glin = G^gamma,  Blin = B^gamma

where gamma is 2.2 for many PCs. The usual R G B are sometimes written as R' G' B' (R' = Rlin ^ (1/gamma)) (purists tongue-click) but here I'll drop the '.

Brightness on a CRT display is proportional to RGBlin = RGB ^ gamma, so 50% gray on a CRT is quite dark: .5 ^ 2.2 = 22% of maximum brightness. (LCD displays are more complex; furthermore, some graphics cards compensate for gamma.)

To get the measure of lightness called L* from RGB, first divide R G B by 255, and compute

Y = .2126 * R^gamma + .7152 * G^gamma + .0722 * B^gamma

This is Y in XYZ color space; it is a measure of color "luminance". (The real formulas are not exactly x^gamma, but close; stick with x^gamma for a first pass.)

Finally,

L* = 116 * Y ^ 1/3 - 16

"... aspires to perceptual uniformity [and] closely matches human perception of lightness." -- Wikipedia Lab color space

How to fix IndexError: invalid index to scalar variable

You are trying to index into a scalar (non-iterable) value:

[y[1] for y in y_test]
#  ^ this is the problem

When you call [y for y in test] you are iterating over the values already, so you get a single value in y.

Your code is the same as trying to do the following:

y_test = [1, 2, 3]
y = y_test[0] # y = 1
print(y[0]) # this line will fail

I'm not sure what you're trying to get into your results array, but you need to get rid of [y[1] for y in y_test].

If you want to append each y in y_test to results, you'll need to expand your list comprehension out further to something like this:

[results.append(..., y) for y in y_test]

Or just use a for loop:

for y in y_test:
    results.append(..., y)

How do I make a self extract and running installer

I have created step by step instructions on how to do this as I also was very confused about how to get this working.

How to make a self extracting archive that runs your setup.exe with 7zip -sfx switch

Here are the steps.

Step 1 - Setup your installation folder

To make this easy create a folder c:\Install. This is where we will copy all the required files.

Step 2 - 7Zip your installers

  1. Go to the folder that has your .msi and your setup.exe
  2. Select both the .msi and the setup.exe
  3. Right-Click and choose 7Zip --> "Add to Archive"
  4. Name your archive "Installer.7z" (or a name of your choice)
  5. Click Ok
  6. You should now have "Installer.7z".
  7. Copy this .7z file to your c:\Install directory

Step 3 - Get the 7z-Extra sfx extension module

You need to download 7zSD.sfx

  1. Download one of the LZMA packages from here
  2. Extract the package and find 7zSD.sfx in the bin folder.
  3. Copy the file "7zSD.sfx" to c:\Install

Step 4 - Setup your config.txt

I would recommend using NotePad++ to edit this text file as you will need to encode in UTF-8, the following instructions are using notepad++.

  1. Using windows explorer go to c:\Install
  2. right-click and choose "New Text File" and name it config.txt
  3. right-click and choose "Edit with NotePad++
  4. Click the "Encoding Menu" and choose "Encode in UTF-8"
  5. Enter something like this:

    ;!@Install@!UTF-8!
    Title="SOFTWARE v1.0.0.0"
    BeginPrompt="Do you want to install SOFTWARE v1.0.0.0?"
    RunProgram="setup.exe"
    ;!@InstallEnd@!
    

Edit this replacing [SOFTWARE v1.0.0.0] with your product name. Notes on the parameters and options for the setup file are here.

CheckPoint

You should now have a folder "c:\Install" with the following 3 files:

  1. Installer.7z
  2. 7zSD.sfx
  3. config.txt

Step 5 - Create the archive

These instructions I found on the web but nowhere did it explain any of the 4 steps above.

  1. Open a cmd window, Window + R --> cmd --> press enter
  2. In the command window type the following

    cd \
    cd Install
    copy /b 7zSD.sfx + config.txt + Installer.7z MyInstaller.exe
    
  3. Look in c:\Install and you will now see you have a MyInstaller.exe

  4. You are finished

Run the installer

Double click on MyInstaller.exe and it will prompt with your message. Click OK and the setup.exe will run.

P.S. Note on Automation

Now that you have this working in your c:\Install directory I would create an "Install.bat" file and put the copy script in it.

copy /b 7zSD.sfx + config.txt + Installer.7z MyInstaller.exe

Now you can just edit and run the Install.bat every time you need to rebuild a new version of you deployment package.

How to log cron jobs?

On Ubuntu you can enable a cron.log file to contain just the CRON entries.

Uncomment the line that mentions cron in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf file:

#

#                       For more information see rsyslog.conf(5) and /etc/rsyslog.conf

#
# First some standard log files.  Log by facility.

#cron.*                          /var/log/cron.log

Save and close the file and then restart the rsyslog service:

sudo systemctl restart rsyslog

You can now see cron log entries in its own file:

sudo tail -f /var/log/cron.log

Sample outputs:

Jul 18 07:05:01 machine-host-name CRON[13638]: (root) CMD (command -v debian-sa1 > /dev/null && debian-sa1 1 1)

However, you will not see more information about what scripts were actually run inside /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly, unless those scripts direct output to the cron.log (or perhaps to some other log file).

If you want to verify if a crontab is running and not have to search for it in cron.log or syslog, create a crontab that redirects output to a log file of your choice - something like:

# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command
30 2 * * 1 /usr/local/sbin/certbot-auto renew >> /var/log/le-renew.log 2>&1

Differences in string compare methods in C#

  • s1.CompareTo(s2): Do NOT use if primary purpose is to determine whether two strings are equivalent
  • s1 == s2: Cannot ignore case
  • s1.Equals(s2, StringComparison): Throws NullReferenceException if s1 is null
  • String.Equals(s2, StringComparison): By process of eliminiation, this static method is the WINNER (assuming a typical use case to determine whether two strings are equivalent)!

Typescript react - Could not find a declaration file for module ''react-materialize'. 'path/to/module-name.js' implicitly has an any type

For my case the issue was that the types were not getting added to package.json file under devDependencies to fix it I ran npm install --save-dev @types/react-redux note the --save-dev

Just disable scroll not hide it?

I have made this one function, that solves this problem with JS. This principle can be easily extended and customized that is a big pro for me.

Using this js DOM API function:

const handleWheelScroll = (element) => (event) => {
  if (!element) {
    throw Error("Element for scroll was not found");
  }
  const { deltaY } = event;
  const { clientHeight, scrollTop, scrollHeight } = element;
  if (deltaY < 0) {
    if (-deltaY > scrollTop) {
      element.scrollBy({
        top: -scrollTop,
        behavior: "smooth",
      });
      event.stopPropagation();
      event.preventDefault();
    }
    return;
  }

  if (deltaY > scrollHeight - clientHeight - scrollTop) {
    element.scrollBy({
      top: scrollHeight - clientHeight - scrollTop,
      behavior: "smooth",
    });
    event.stopPropagation();
    event.preventDefault();
    return;
  }
};

In short, this function will stop event propagation and default behavior if the scroll would scroll something else then the given element (the one you want to scroll in).

Then you can hook and unhook this up like this:

const wheelEventHandler = handleWheelScroll(elementToScrollIn);

window.addEventListener("wheel", wheelEventHandler, {
    passive: false,
});

window.removeEventListener("wheel", wheelEventHandler);

Watch out for that it is a higher order function so you have to keep a reference to the given instance.

I hook the addEventListener part in mouse enter and unhook the removeEventListener in mouse leave events in jQuery, but you can use it as you like.

How to delete a column from a table in MySQL

ALTER TABLE `tablename` DROP `columnname`;

Or,

ALTER TABLE `tablename` DROP COLUMN `columnname`;

Strange Characters in database text: Ã, Ã, ¢, â‚ €,

I encountered today quite a similar problem : mysqldump dumped my utf-8 base encoding utf-8 diacritic characters as two latin1 characters, although the file itself is regular utf8.

For example : "é" was encoded as two characters "é". These two characters correspond to the utf8 two bytes encoding of the letter but it should be interpreted as a single character.

To solve the problem and correctly import the database on another server, I had to convert the file using the ftfy (stands for "Fixes Text For You). (https://github.com/LuminosoInsight/python-ftfy) python library. The library does exactly what I expect : transform bad encoded utf-8 to correctly encoded utf-8.

For example : This latin1 combination "é" is turned into an "é".

ftfy comes with a command line script but it transforms the file so it can not be imported back into mysql.

I wrote a python3 script to do the trick :

#!/usr/bin/python3
# coding: utf-8

import ftfy

# Set input_file
input_file = open('mysql.utf8.bad.dump', 'r', encoding="utf-8")
# Set output file
output_file = open ('mysql.utf8.good.dump', 'w')

# Create fixed output stream
stream = ftfy.fix_file(
    input_file,
    encoding=None,
    fix_entities='auto', 
    remove_terminal_escapes=False, 
    fix_encoding=True, 
    fix_latin_ligatures=False, 
    fix_character_width=False, 
    uncurl_quotes=False, 
    fix_line_breaks=False, 
    fix_surrogates=False, 
    remove_control_chars=False, 
    remove_bom=False, 
    normalization='NFC'
)

# Save stream to output file
stream_iterator = iter(stream)
while stream_iterator:
    try:
        line = next(stream_iterator)
        output_file.write(line)
    except StopIteration:
        break

Pressed <button> selector

Should we include a little JS? Because CSS was not basically created for this job. CSS was just a style sheet to add styles to the HTML, but its pseudo classes can do something that the basic CSS can't do. For example button:active active is pseudo.

Reference:

http://css-tricks.com/pseudo-class-selectors/ You can learn more about pseudo here!

Your code:

The code that you're having the basic but helpfull. And yes :active will only occur once the click event is triggered.

button {
font-size: 18px;
border: 2px solid gray;
border-radius: 100px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}

button:active {
font-size: 18px;
border: 2px solid red;
border-radius: 100px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}

This is what CSS would do, what rlemon suggested is good, but that would as he suggested would require a tag.

How to use CSS:

You can use :focus too. :focus would work once the click is made and would stay untill you click somewhere else, this was the CSS, you were trying to use CSS, so use :focus to make the buttons change.

What JS would do:

The JavaScript's jQuery library is going to help us for this code. Here is the example:

$('button').click(function () {
  $(this).css('border', '1px solid red');
}

This will make sure that the button stays red even if the click gets out. To change the focus type (to change the color of red to other) you can use this:

$('button').click(function () {
  $(this).css('border', '1px solid red');
  // find any other button with a specific id, and change it back to white like
  $('button#red').css('border', '1px solid white');
}

This way, you will create a navigation menu. Which will automatically change the color of the tabs as you click on them. :)

Hope you get the answer. Good luck! Cheers.

How do I vertically center text with CSS?

This works perfectly.

You have to use table style for the div and center align for the content.

How to change the color of the axis, ticks and labels for a plot in matplotlib

  • For those using pandas.DataFrame.plot(), matplotlib.axes.Axes is returned when creating a plot from a dataframe. As such, the dataframe plot can be assigned to a variable, ax, which enables the usage of the associated formatting methods.
  • The default plotting backend for pandas, is matplotlib.
import pandas as pd

# test dataframe
data = {'a': range(20), 'date': pd.bdate_range('2021-01-09', freq='D', periods=20)}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# plot the dataframe and assign the returned axes
ax = df.plot(x='date', color='green', ylabel='values', xlabel='date', figsize=(8, 6))

# set various colors
ax.spines['bottom'].set_color('blue')
ax.spines['top'].set_color('red') 
ax.spines['right'].set_color('magenta')
ax.spines['left'].set_color('orange')
ax.xaxis.label.set_color('purple')
ax.yaxis.label.set_color('silver')
ax.tick_params(colors='red', which='both')  # 'both' refers to minor and major axes

How do you specify table padding in CSS? ( table, not cell padding )

Funny, I was doing precisely this yesterday. You just need this in your css file

.ablock table td {
     padding:5px;
}

then wrap the table in a suitable div

<div class="ablock ">
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>

JPA Hibernate One-to-One relationship

I have a better way of doing this:

@Entity
public class Person {

    @OneToOne(cascade={javax.persistence.CascadeType.ALL})
    @JoinColumn(name = "`Id_OtherInfo`")
    public OtherInfo getOtherInfo() {
      return otherInfo;
    }

}

That's all

Select multiple elements from a list

mylist[c(5,7,9)] should do it.

You want the sublists returned as sublists of the result list; you don't use [[]] (or rather, the function is [[) for that -- as Dason mentions in comments, [[ grabs the element.

how to display none through code behind

Since this is a login div, shouldn't the default be to NOT display it. I am going to go ahead and assume then you want to display it then via javascript.

<div id="login" style="display:none;">Content</div>

Then using jQuery:

<script type="javascript">$('#login').show();</script>

Another method you might consider is something like this:

<div id="login" style="display:<%=SetDisplay() %>">Content</div>

And the SetDisplay() method output "none" or "block"

Can I simultaneously declare and assign a variable in VBA?

How to restart adb from root to user mode?

For quick steps just check summary. If interested to know details, go on to read below.

adb is a daemon. Doing ps adb we can see its process.

shell@grouper:/ $ ps adb
USER     PID   PPID  VSIZE  RSS     WCHAN    PC        NAME
shell     133   1     4636   212   ffffffff 00000000 S /sbin/adbd

I just checked what additional property variables it is using when adb is running as root and user.

adb user mode :

shell@grouper:/ $ getprop | grep adb                                         
[init.svc.adbd]: [running]
[persist.sys.usb.config]: [mtp,adb]
[ro.adb.secure]: [1]
[sys.usb.config]: [mtp,adb]
[sys.usb.state]: [mtp,adb]

adb root mode :

shell@grouper:/ # getprop | grep adb                                         
[init.svc.adbd]: [running]
[persist.sys.usb.config]: [mtp,adb]
[ro.adb.secure]: [1]
[service.adb.root]: [1]
[sys.usb.config]: [mtp,adb]
[sys.usb.state]: [mtp,adb]

We can see that service.adb.root is a new prop variable that came up when we did adb root.

So, to change back adb to user from root, I went ahead and made this 0

setprop service.adb.root 0

But this did not change anything.

Then I went ahead and killed the process (with an intention to restart the process). The pid of adbd process in my device is 133

kill -9 133

I exited from shell automatically after I had killed the process.

I did adb shell again it was in user mode.

SUMMARY :

So, we have 3 very simple steps.

  1. Enter adb shell as a root.
  2. setprop service.adb.root 0
  3. kill -9 (pid of adbd)

After these steps just re-enter the shell with adb shell and you are back on your device as a user.

Annotation @Transactional. How to rollback?

Just throw any RuntimeException from a method marked as @Transactional.

By default all RuntimeExceptions rollback transaction whereas checked exceptions don't. This is an EJB legacy. You can configure this by using rollbackFor() and noRollbackFor() annotation parameters:

@Transactional(rollbackFor=Exception.class)

This will rollback transaction after throwing any exception.

As per below @rpgmaker comment i added this answer

yes you can do using ResolveInfo class

check your file is supported with already installed apps or not

using below code:

private boolean isSupportedFile(File file) throws PackageManager.NameNotFoundException {
    PackageManager pm = mContext.getPackageManager();
    java.io.File mFile = new java.io.File(file.getFileName());
    Uri data = Uri.fromFile(mFile);
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setDataAndType(data, file.getMimeType());
    List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);

    if (resolveInfos != null && resolveInfos.size() > 0) {
        Drawable icon = mContext.getPackageManager().getApplicationIcon(resolveInfos.get(0).activityInfo.packageName);
        Glide.with(mContext).load("").placeholder(icon).into(binding.fileAvatar);
        return true;
    } else {
        Glide.with(mContext).load("").placeholder(R.drawable.avatar_defaultworkspace).into(binding.fileAvatar);
        return false;
    }
}

If you don't have inotifywait on your system, run sudo apt-get install inotify-tools

How to test if a string contains one of the substrings in a list, in pandas?

One option is just to use the regex | character to try to match each of the substrings in the words in your Series s (still using str.contains).

You can construct the regex by joining the words in searchfor with |:

>>> searchfor = ['og', 'at']
>>> s[s.str.contains('|'.join(searchfor))]
0    cat
1    hat
2    dog
3    fog
dtype: object

As @AndyHayden noted in the comments below, take care if your substrings have special characters such as $ and ^ which you want to match literally. These characters have specific meanings in the context of regular expressions and will affect the matching.

You can make your list of substrings safer by escaping non-alphanumeric characters with re.escape:

>>> import re
>>> matches = ['$money', 'x^y']
>>> safe_matches = [re.escape(m) for m in matches]
>>> safe_matches
['\\$money', 'x\\^y']

The strings with in this new list will match each character literally when used with str.contains.

$(this).attr("id") not working

Because of the way the function is called (i.e. as a simple call to a function variable), this is the global object (for which window is an alias in browsers). Use the obj parameter instead.

Also, creating a jQuery object and the using its attr() method for obtaining an element ID is inefficient and unnecessary. Just use the element's id property, which works in all browsers.

function showHideOther(obj){ 
    var sel = obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;
    var ID = obj.id;

    if (sel == 'other') { 
        $(obj).html("<input type='text' name='" + ID + "' id='" + ID + "' />");
    } else {
        $(obj).css({'display' : 'none'});
    }
}

How do I sort a list of datetime or date objects?

You're getting None because list.sort() it operates in-place, meaning that it doesn't return anything, but modifies the list itself. You only need to call a.sort() without assigning it to a again.

There is a built in function sorted(), which returns a sorted version of the list - a = sorted(a) will do what you want as well.

React-Native: Application has not been registered error

Rather than changing the name in AppRegistry ,

Run react-native init Bananas , this will create react boilerplate code for Bananas project and AppRegistry.registerComponent will automatically point to bananas

AppRegistry.registerComponent('Bananas', () => Bananas);

How to add onload event to a div element

I had the same question and was trying to get a Div to load a scroll script, using onload or load. The problem I found was that it would always work before the Div could open, not during or after, so it wouldn't really work.

Then I came up with this as a work around.

<body>

<span onmouseover="window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);" 
onmouseout="window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);">

<div id="">
</div>

<a href="" onclick="window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);">Link to open Div</a>

</span>
</body>

I placed the Div inside a Span and gave the Span two events, a mouseover and a mouseout. Then below that Div, I placed a link to open the Div, and gave that link an event for onclick. All events the exact same, to make the page scroll down to bottom of page. Now when the button to open the Div is clicked, the page will jump down part way, and the Div will open above the button, causing the mouseover and mouseout events to help push the scroll down script. Then any movement of the mouse at that point will push the script one last time.

Getting list of items inside div using Selenium Webdriver

Follow the code below exactly matched with your case.

  1. Create an interface of the web element for the div under div with class as facetContainerDiv

ie for

<div class="facetContainerDiv">
    <div>

    </div>
</div>

2. Create an IList with all the elements inside the second div i.e for,

<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>

3. Access each check boxes using the index

Please find the code below

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;

namespace SeleniumTests
{
  class ChechBoxClickWthIndex
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("file:///C:/Users/chery/Desktop/CheckBox.html");

            // Create an interface WebElement of the div under div with **class as facetContainerDiv**
            IWebElement WebElement =    driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@class='facetContainerDiv']/div"));
            // Create an IList and intialize it with all the elements of div under div with **class as facetContainerDiv**
            IList<IWebElement> AllCheckBoxes = WebElement.FindElements(By.XPath("//label/input"));
            int RowCount = AllCheckBoxes.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < RowCount; i++)
            {
            // Check the check boxes based on index
               AllCheckBoxes[i].Click();

            }
            Console.WriteLine(RowCount);
            Console.ReadLine(); 

        }
    }
}

How to add buttons at top of map fragment API v2 layout

Maybe a simpler solution is to set an overlay in front of your map using FrameLayout or RelativeLayout and treating them as regular buttons in your activity. You should declare your layers in back to front order, e.g., map before buttons. I modified your layout, simplified it a little bit. Try the following layout and see if it works for you:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MapActivity" >

    <fragment xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"  
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

    <RadioGroup 
        android:id="@+id/radio_group_list_selector"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:background="#80000000"
        android:padding="4dp" >

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioPopular"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@string/Popular"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />
        <View
            android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
            android:layout_width="1dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#aaa" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioAZ"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:text="@string/AZ"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton2"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />

        <View
            android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
            android:layout_width="1dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#aaa" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioCategory"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:text="@string/Category"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton2"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />
        <View
            android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
            android:layout_width="1dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#aaa" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioNearBy"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:text="@string/NearBy"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton3"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />
    </RadioGroup>
</FrameLayout>

Open file in a relative location in Python

When I was a beginner I found these descriptions a bit intimidating. As at first I would try For Windows

f= open('C:\Users\chidu\Desktop\Skipper New\Special_Note.txt','w+')
print(f) 

and this would raise an syntax error. I used get confused alot. Then after some surfing across google. found why the error occurred. Writing this for beginners

It's because for path to be read in Unicode you simple add a \ when starting file path

f= open('C:\\Users\chidu\Desktop\Skipper New\Special_Note.txt','w+')
print(f)

And now it works just add \ before starting the directory.

Pagination using MySQL LIMIT, OFFSET

If you want to keep it simple go ahead and try this out.

$page_number = mysqli_escape_string($con, $_GET['page']);
$count_per_page = 20;
$next_offset = $page_number * $count_per_page;
$cat =mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM categories LIMIT $count_per_page OFFSET $next_offset");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cat))
        $count = $row[0];

The rest is up to you. If you have result comming from two tables i suggest you try a different approach.

Efficiently checking if arbitrary object is NaN in Python / numpy / pandas?

pandas.isnull() (also pd.isna(), in newer versions) checks for missing values in both numeric and string/object arrays. From the documentation, it checks for:

NaN in numeric arrays, None/NaN in object arrays

Quick example:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
s = pd.Series(['apple', np.nan, 'banana'])
pd.isnull(s)
Out[9]: 
0    False
1     True
2    False
dtype: bool

The idea of using numpy.nan to represent missing values is something that pandas introduced, which is why pandas has the tools to deal with it.

Datetimes too (if you use pd.NaT you won't need to specify the dtype)

In [24]: s = Series([Timestamp('20130101'),np.nan,Timestamp('20130102 9:30')],dtype='M8[ns]')

In [25]: s
Out[25]: 
0   2013-01-01 00:00:00
1                   NaT
2   2013-01-02 09:30:00
dtype: datetime64[ns]``

In [26]: pd.isnull(s)
Out[26]: 
0    False
1     True
2    False
dtype: bool

Property getters and setters

Setters/getters in Swift are quite different than ObjC. The property becomes a computed property which means it does not have a backing variable such as _x as it would in ObjC.

In the solution code below you can see the xTimesTwo does not store anything, but simply computes the result from x.

See Official docs on computed properties.

The functionality you want might also be Property Observers.

What you need is:

var x: Int

var xTimesTwo: Int {
    set {
       x = newValue / 2
    }
    get {
        return x * 2
    }
}

You can modify other properties within the setter/getters, which is what they are meant for.

Delaying function in swift

Swift 3 and Above Version(s) for a delay of 10 seconds

    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 10) { [unowned self] in
        self.functionToCall()
    }

ASP.NET: Session.SessionID changes between requests

In my case I figured out that the session cookie had a domain that included www. prefix, while I was requesting page with no www..
Adding www. to the URL immediately fixed the problem. Later I changed cookie's domain to be set to .mysite.com instead of www.mysite.com.

Why is <deny users="?" /> included in the following example?

ASP.NET grants access from the configuration file as a matter of precedence. In case of a potential conflict, the first occurring grant takes precedence. So,

deny user="?" 

denies access to the anonymous user. Then

allow users="dan,matthew" 

grants access to that user. Finally, it denies access to everyone. This shakes out as everyone except dan,matthew is denied access.

Edited to add: and as @Deviant points out, denying access to unauthenticated is pointless, since the last entry includes unauthenticated as well. A good blog entry discussing this topic can be found at: Guru Sarkar's Blog

How to run a jar file in a linux commandline

For example to execute from terminal (Ubuntu Linux) or even (Windows console) a java file called filex.jar use this command:

java -jar filex.jar

The file will execute in terminal.

How to run python script on terminal (ubuntu)?

Sorry, Im a newbie myself and I had this issue:

./hello.py: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token "Hello World"' ./hello.py: line 1:print("Hello World")'

I added the file header for the python 'deal' as #!/usr/bin/python

Then simple executed the program with './hello.py'

Measuring code execution time

You can use this Stopwatch wrapper:

public class Benchmark : IDisposable 
{
    private readonly Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();
    private readonly string benchmarkName;

    public Benchmark(string benchmarkName)
    {
        this.benchmarkName = benchmarkName;
        timer.Start();
    }

    public void Dispose() 
    {
        timer.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine($"{benchmarkName} {timer.Elapsed}");
    }
}

Usage:

using (var bench = new Benchmark($"Insert {n} records:"))
{
    ... your code here
}

Output:

Sheet.getRange(1,1,1,12) what does the numbers in bracket specify?

Found these docu on the google docu pages:

  • row --- int --- top row of the range
  • column --- int--- leftmost column of the range
  • optNumRows --- int --- number of rows in the range.
  • optNumColumns --- int --- number of columns in the range

In your example, you would get (if you picked the 3rd row) "C3:O3", cause C --> O is 12 columns

edit

Using the example on the docu:

// The code below will get the number of columns for the range C2:G8
// in the active spreadsheet, which happens to be "4"
var count = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(2, 3, 6, 4).getNumColumns(); Browser.msgBox(count);

The values between brackets:
2: the starting row = 2
3: the starting col = C
6: the number of rows = 6 so from 2 to 8
4: the number of cols = 4 so from C to G

So you come to the range: C2:G8

What is the 'instanceof' operator used for in Java?

Very simple code example:

If (object1 instanceof Class1) {
   // do something
} else if (object1 instanceof Class2) {
   // do something different
}

Be careful here. In the example above, if Class1 is Object, the first comparison will always be true. So, just like with exceptions, hierarchical order matters!
